WAR YEAR 1944 Published by l,anra tcr High School Lancaster. Ohio Mary Lou Herdman, Kditor Allen James, Bus. Mgr. “A boy grows up to be a man very quick- ly. To your grandmother it seems only day before yesterday that you were born, yet next month you are graduating from high school. But it takes a long time for an idea to grow up -sometimes it takes thousands of years. Nations have been settling their troubles by wars for a long, long time... There are still many who hate and covet, and lust to kill. And so boys like you go marching off to war. But the idea of peace keeps on growing in peoples minds. Once the whole world used to think of war as glorious. Now a part of the world thinks of war as a grim and hideous necessity. Someday the majority of people in all na- tions will grow up to the place where they think of war as waste -economic and spir- itual waste. And then the wars will stop. —Yesterday's Children by LaMar Warrick ATTCNKI� TO VAU Sophomore Students of English.

He was formerly stationed at F'ort Bragg, N. C. He taught industrial arts at Lancaster High School from 1940 to 1943. Robert 0. Davis, our former co- ordinator of the Smith-Hughes Pro- gram and head of the industrial arts department, now Seaman 3rd Class in the U. S. Navy, is in Torpedo School at Great Lakes, Illinois. WE DEDICATE THIS MI RAGE TO OUR Pvt. Ana C. Miesse, stationed at Washington, D. C., with the Second Signal Service Battalion of the W. A. C., was supervisor of art instruction in the Lancaster schools when she enlisted in 1943. Cpl. Newton C. Beal of the Army Air Corps is now with a Bomber Unit at Hamilton Field, California. He was the director of our choir and or- chestra, as well as supervisor of mus- ic the Lancaster schools. TEACHERS IN THE SERVICE THE ADMINISTRATION SETS THE BOARD MEETS Mr. T. L. Hewetson, Mr. Clarence Ochs, Mr. Har- old Brandon, Mr. Arthur Vlerebome, Mr. Edgar L. Campbell, and Supt. Paul Wenger. Dr. Thom- as Ashton is not in the picture. Superintendent Wenger reports graph- ically how the Board of Education has met the war emergency: “On December 7, 1941, our nation passed from a period of peace and apparent security into a period of war. Our people were not prepared spiritual- ly. physically, or materially to compete with nations that had followed a mili- taristic philosophy of national life. Our leaders had to urge greater produc- tivity, had to limit us in our wants, and had to assess taxes unheard of before in our nation’s history, before we fully realized the immensity and the import- ance of the conflict. The school pro- gram had to be adjusted to meet the new and greater demands incurred by the war. At the outset of the war there were many unemployed individuals, but they had to be trained in special skills before they could become valuable to industry. The school was one of the first agen- cies to provide facilities and leadership for training such individuals. School machine shops were used to train adults, both men and women. Where facilities were limited, the federal government furnished machines and training equip- ment for carrying on this program. The Lancaster Public Schools received equipment valued at §20,000. For sev- eral months this adult training program was in operation 24 hours per day. However, as industry was supplied with skilled machine operators, the number of trainees decreased, and the need for this program was diminished. The fully-equipped machine shop was also available for the training of high school boys. The Smith-Hughes Trades and Industries Program is now making full use of the machine shop. In a short time the boys in this department receive fundamental training which en- ables them to become valuable machine operators in industries. Many of the boys do such work after school hours and during vacation periods. The war period has also increased the need for skilled workers in other areas. There is a great demand for young peo- ple trained in commercial work. Ac- cordingly. the commercial work in our high school was emphasized and ex- panded. There is an unusual demand for young men in aviation. Therefore, Lancaster High School offers a pre-flight course and places much greater em- phasis on mathematics and the physical sciences. All the work of the schools in the war effort was not limited to the teach- ing of subjects. One of the largest tasks ever attempted by the federal govern- ment was the registration of every man. woman, and child, and the issuance of ration books to each individual. This work was assigned to the schools. The schools do their full share in car- rying on salvage drives for metal, pa- per, fats, and other items. House to house canvasses have been conducted by school children. Both employees and pupils of the Lancaster Puplic Schools have purchas- ed stamps and bonds regularly to assist the government. In addition to their own purchases pupils have carried on a systematic campaign to sell stamps and bonds to the general public. The board of education has contribut- ed to the total war effort by making school facilities and personnel available to the federal government, and by alter- ing curricular to meet the present de- mands.” THE PACE FOR OUR WAR EFFORT PRINCIPAL SCHAAF SAYS “HELLO” In one short year, Mr. Schaaf’s sin- cere interest in us and in our school activities has won the loyalty and friendship of Lancaster High School students and teachers. Despite the difficulty of beginning work in a new school without much time to get acquainted, he has met all situations with quiet efficiency and un- derstanding. Mr. Schaaf is kept busy sending rec- ords of students and alumni to colleges, industries, and Uncle Sam. Eight or ten inquiries are answered every week. And how these inquirers” stress high school preparation! Numerous boys in camp write to the office and to teachers who enjoy relay- ing the advice of these young soldiers and sailors to the students. Let us lis- ten in. From Fort Myers, Florida Strange as it may seem, a fellow must be fairly good in math to Are a machine gun. My advice to the student is study. I guess we can never learn too much.” From Fleet Service School, San Diego, California I’m going to gasoline and Diesel en- gine school. What you taught us about airplane motors really helps in this course about engines. How are your new classes coming in school? I was glad to hear that you have that motor for instruction.” that it was once a town where people lived, played, went to church, made their living, and where all that they ever had was invested. There is still lots of suffering for these people in the path of war; there is no food, no shel- ter, and no clothing for them. When you see it with your own eyes, your mind just stops. How can it ever be worked out and solved? I hope that you are all doing fine and things are going as well as they can under conditions as they are and must be at present. We are still a very very, lucky people.” Kj E ’ It From Selman Field, Louisiana This is really tough on the boys who didn’t learn much about physics or math in high school or college. They have to do so much studying and the day’s schedule is so full they just don't have time.” Fronkltaly By th time we get into a town there isn’t much left of it, and it doesn’t help one’syfeeling to look at it and realize From Seymour Johnson Field, North Carolina “I am surely glad I took the trades and industries course because it has surely helped me out in my airplane mechanics school, especially a good deal of algebra The phases of the work that I have finished are aircraft tools, aircraft construction, hydraulics, pro- pellors, engines, instruments, and igni- tion six more to go before I finish.” SECRETARY JEAN RADER OFFICIAL DETAIL ON FURLOUGH AT THE FAIR SPONSORS AND PRESIDENTS IN COMMAND WE THE PEOPLE Row One (left to right) Marietta Emmons, Emagean Woods, Marilyn Neff, Marilyn Bena- dum, Carol Freeland, Barbara Hoffman, Emily Carr (treasurer), Barbara Mettler, Virginia Sells (secretary).

DEAN GUIDANCE DEANS STRESS GUIDANCE Dean Hudson gives Mary Aten and Christine Walter the Kuder Preference Test to indicate vocational inter- ests. ABSENTEEISM VS. PATRIOTISM Dean Pratt, Marie Dittoe, Virginia Shull, Lanessa Kig- er, and Ruth Boyer are busy at the job of pupil-account- ing. “Mr. Pratt, I have a job. I’ll have to get excused early.” This speech is sung regularly in the attendance office. Four majors and gym give any student a full day, and a working permit creates a real problem. “About 35% of our students have part-time work,” estimates Mr. Pratt. - Work experience is valuable, but the man power shortage is cheating some of our students out of an education. ‘Man to Man,’ I’d say, ‘It’s patrtoic to stay in school as long as possible.’” “Quick, Miss Hudson, I’ve cut my hand.” And our dean rushes to give first aid. As for Mr. Pratt, he has a flourishing lost-and-found bureau in his office. And another job our deans perform is the arrangement of our activity cal- endar of assemblies, dances, etc. Dean Hudson firmly believes in guid- ance based on friendly interest in girls’ problems as well as on tests and study of records.

COLLEGE DAY College? Nursing? Business? Which will it be? .... boys bent over the tables of chemis- try laboratories, pondered problems in phys- ics and thought “Mathematics and science. Mathematics and science. All I can get of them, before I go to war.” .... and now they are getting out of bal- ance in the direction of the techniques. These boys—getting ready to go into ser- vice, they ne§d mathematics and physics, yes. But they need Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln and Ralph Waldo Emer- son and Walt Whitman too.

Metal and wood shop boys give real service in repair work for the school. They also coop- erate in repair of farm equipment. Some eighty-five boys are receiving wood shop train- ing which may help them to obtain the rating of carpenter’s mate in the Navy, or to get work in an airplane factory. Mechanical drawing classes, also, are of war- time importance. Over a hundred students are enrolled in the three double periods of mechan- ical drawing. Even an occasional girl joins up. These students of Mr. Peer and Mr. Shower, as well as the 120 boys in metal shop under Mr. Martin’s instruction, constitute the industrial arts department. As a wartime project, stu- dents have made ash trays and ash stands for the Junior Red Cross for use in veteran's hos- pitals. SHOP TEACHERS Mr. Forest Tobin, Mr. A. R. Peer, Mr. Albert Sherrick, Mr. E. R. Jenkins, Mr. Clyde Moore, Mr. Anthony Martin, Mr. C. G. Shower, Mr. Wal- ter Ritter. FARM SHOP Mr. Jenkins oversees the construction of a hog-feeder. MECHANICAL DRAWING Mr. Shower and his wielders of the T-square. TRADES AND INDUSTRIES Mr. Moore. Mr. Tobin, Mr. Sherrick, and Mr. Ritter instruct the boys of this department. The trades and industries courses operate under the Smith-Hughes plan of federal aid. Thirty-five junior and senior boys work on the machines under the Smith-Hughes trades and industries program of fifteen hours per week in the shop and the other fifteen on the related subjects taught by Mr. Moore machine science, mathematics, drawing, and blueprint reading besides one subject such as English or history. Some ten or a dozen boys spend alternate weeks on jobs in local machine shops and in their school classes. The agriculture courses also operate under the Smith-Hughes plan. Boys study animal hus- bandry, farm crops, and farm engineering dur- ing their first three years. The fourth year, in shop, they learn to make farm equipment. Ev- ery summer, the boys complete their individual iarm projects under the supervision of Mr. Jen- kins. Many of the boys of this department exhibit stock or produce at the fair. ART AND MUSIC Designing war stamps and posters is emphasized in art classes as well as other patriotic projects, such as making writing portfolios, nut cups, and table favors to be used by the Junior Red Cross in hospit- als and children’s homes at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The services of the L. II. S. Choir arc in constant demand for school and civic af- fairs. The choir furnished music for the Christmas pageant and also presented a Thanksgiving program. Orchestra mem- bers, also, are busy. They play at school functions, such as plays.

HOME ECONOMICS Miss Nafzger supervises a beginning class in sewing. It is not the style to own as many new dresses as possible, but it is indeed smart right now to change the old into something new. Best of all today is the thrifty practice of making one’s own wardrobe. ON THE HOME FRONT The department has made bed jackets, slip- pers, lap robes, and utility bags for the Red Cross, and, as another war measure, advanced classes had a six-week’s unit in home-nursing. Other projects this year were choir robes, pageant costumes and gym uniforms. HOME ECONOMICS Row One (left to right)— Barbara Wallace (president). Edna Thomas.

What’s cookin’? With meatless days, rationing, and food short- ages, the homemaker isn’t living the life of Riley. Ask Miss Yauger who directs our cafe- teria. The verdicts from O. P. A. offer a real chal- lenge to foods classes. The girls are studying nutrition values and food substitutes with zest. These girls must know food values, for the cook must provide the meals which contribute to physical fitness. They are trying to learn econ- omy, too, for there must be food enough for all for us, for our army, and for others. Home-making students have followed the Red Cross nutrition and canteen courses; this allows them to be canteen aids. LEADERS IN CONSERVATION Miss Ruth Yauger, Miss Bertha Nafzger. COMMERCIAL Experience plays an important part in the commercial department. Stu- dents gain this practical side of their training by taking dictation and tap- ping the typewriter for teachers. Because of the great demand for effi- cient office workers, bookkeeping, too, is an important subject, as well as busi- ness English, commercial arithmetic, salesmanship, comptometry, and com- mercial law. Mr. Parent says that the student who acquires accuracy and speed finds that an office position comes with his diplo- ma, and in these days sometimes be- fore. BUSINESS BOOSTERS Mr. Merlin C.

What plans for a durable peace? World history, Ameri- can history, and United States civics are studied by all students, and a major in this department may be obtained by adding sociology or economics. L. H.

SCIENCE Science classes are geared to wartime needs. But, whether students are headed for service in the armed forces or for jobs in industry, whether they continue their education or not, they get much of prac- tical value from their scientific studies. Girls who become dieticians or nurses and boys who study medicine or who get into chemical warfare, as well as girls who simply cook and keep house and boys who work in the factories, need a knowledge of chemistry in these days. Physics, too, assumes special import- ance in wartime. Aviation, to mention but one branch of the service, demands many trained physicists. General science and biology, also, have their uses. In war or peace, the educated person must have some notions of the nat- ural laws of the world in which he lives.

MATHEMATICS This department is indeed in the lime- light, for in the armed forces, on the pro- duction line, and in specialized fields of science, the cry is still math! more math! More students than formerly should place higher math on their schedules. These senior courses—advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry—follow the principles and methods used in begin- ning algebra and plane geometry. They have a direct bearing on college math and army and navy air training as well as offi- cer’s training in various branches of the service. As the name implies, commercial arith- metic looks toward a business career. It provides preparatory work for bookkeep- ing and office work. PLANE GEOMETRY MADE PLAIN Class interest centers for a moment on James Venrick's original. LANGUAGES LINGUISTS Miss Grace Griffith, Miss Grace Johnson, Miss Clara Mohler. In this war which covers the globe, lang- uages have added significance. Any soldier or sailor who can read or speak even a little of a foreign language is likely to find it an advan- tage, perhaps even a life saver. The instructors in this department build up a real interest in understanding the customs and problems of the people of other lands in past and present times. The Frenchies gave us a one-act play that we enjoyed, Hunger Is A Great Inventor.” In spite of rationing, the Romans and the Span- iards enjoyed their usual wiener roasts. SE DIVIERTEN MUCHO!

ENGLISH Spelling, grammar, writing, and reading are the daily menu of all students. Those with lusty appetites ask for more litera- ture, dramatics, newspaper and Mirage copy writing. Outside reading material in some classes is chosen for its wartime interest. In vocabulary building, too. students are led in the same direction. By hearing well-known literary works recorded by talented readers, many stu- dents learn to enjoy beautiful writing and to appreciate America's heritage of great literature. Nowhere else on earth do young people have attractive reading material so ready to hand as in American high schools like ours. During the first semester 143 new books were added to the library; of these, forty-six were copyrighted in 1943, twenty-five in 1942, and a number were best sellers. The library receives all Junior Literary Guild books for older boys and girls. Two of them are received each month. Of the forty-nine magazines received regular- ly in the library, thirty-five are indexed in the Reader's Guide to Period cal Literature. The average daily attendance in the library for the first semester was 375. It is evident that Miss Harris and her stall' do indispensable work for the school.

And so, we have worked hard to make the book have a certain significance- a portrayal of Lancaster High School in the war year of 1943-1944.

CAPTAIN, MANAGER, AND COACH PRACTICE The Golden Gales opened the 1943 football season on September 17, when they met Bre- men before a crowd of 2500 fans. Fine passing and ofT-tackle plays gave the Gales a 13-0 vic- tory. A plucky Oiler eleven staved off three or four additional threats at their goal line. On September 25, Columbus South capitalized on a pass interception two minutes after the first touchdown. Lancaster threatened several times to score. South made another touchdown to win 14-0. Dickey was hit hard as he caught a pass on South’s 7-yard line and had to be re- moved from the game. Going to Chillicothe on October 1, the Gales outplayed the home team 14 first downs to 7, but returned with a 12-0 score against them. Chil- licothe tried only two passes, but connected on both for touchdowns. Our team ran the ball all over the field, four times inside the Chilli- cothe 20-yard line, but couldn’t punch it over. On October 8th, the Marietta Tigers battled the Gales in a thrilling tie-game, 7-7. L. H. S. held the Tigers until late in the second quarter. Curtis on second with nine to go went thru tackle, stumbled, almost caught, shook loose, and went 19 yards for a touchdown. Plinke raced 50 yards in this game, Christian carried the ball to the Tigers 1-yard line before going out of bounds, then Lane took it over. On October 15, the Tornadoes journeyed to Dover and played in a continuous downpour of rain. L. H. S. really was proud of the boys' 7-0 victory. Plinke booted the pigskin splendidly and kept Dover in the hole most of the game. On one boot that went to the Crimson’s 4-yard line, they attempted to punt back, and Hansley broke through and blocked the punt for the only score of the game. On October 23, the Redskins from Coshocton scalped us 27-13. The game was even at the half, 616, but fullback Jake Darr, 185-pound bat- tering ram, was too much for our light line. Plinke connected with two passes to Minehart for the Gales’ touchdowns. HOMECOMING QUEEN AND HER ATTENDANTS Virginia Jessup, Carol Freeland, Queen Vir- ginia Sells, Carol Clark, Kay Brode. WITH AN L Cheerleaders: Bob Parsons, Dorothy Steble- ton, Ellen Blaney, Colleen Reffitt, Kay Brode, Jean Karshner. On October 30, our team traveled to Cam- bridge and battled to a scoreless tie. The Gales and the Brownies both missed opportunities to score. When yardage was needed our eleven got bogged down. Christian ran 48 yards to Cambridge’s 19; then we carried to the 10-yard line but lost a first down by inches. On November 5, the Zanesville Bluedevils out- ran us ana we suffered a 20-7 defeat. Long runs of 49, 25, and 79 yards gave the Bluedevils their touchdowns. The Gales electrified the fans as they drove from their own 10-yard line in 13 plays across the Zanesville goal line. Plinkc drop-kicked the extra point. Armistice Day, a day of peace, found our team battling it out with Newark. This year was considered Newark’s best; they had won 9 previous victories with a 50 point average. Jackson, an all-around athlete, scored four of their six touchdowns. Bob Black, 117 pounds of dynamite, playing in J. Christian’s shoes, tack- led Jackson so hard that the Newark ace was removed from the game temporarily. The Gales fought till the end, many times throwing the 200-pound tailback, Dutch Campbell, for losses. Only in this one game were we defeated by more than two touchdowns final score 41-t . On November 19, the Golden Gales closed their season with a heart-breaking 6-0 defeat by Logan. Crippled by injuries to Christian, Hans- ley, and Williamson, our team fought gamely and threatened to score three times. In the waning moments of the second quarter, Clark intercepted a pass on the Logan 45-yard line, and ran it back to the 25. Minehart and Plinke carried it to the one foot line, but as they lined up to pass it over, the gun went off to end the half. The boys of the Purple and Gold are to be congratulated for the fine fighting spirit and sportsmanship they showed in 1943. Lane -Senior Gene developed into a good blocking half-back. He cut down the end on many plays. Clark —Senior Dick, as captain, was a spirited leader —very aggressive ze he tore into the opponents from his guard posi- tion. Williamson—Junior Hob made a fine showing at center. His passes were accu- rate and his defensive work good. Hansley—Junior Dick is a husky tack- le, who as captain of next year’s team will be one of the key men in the line. Bitler—Senior Although Max is small and light, he was one of the team's toughest blockers and a tackier of the bulldog variety. Kline—Junior A fullback with possi- bilities of becoming a hard line-plunger and ball-carrier. Beatty—Junior Bill played an end po- sition. His improvement will make him a valuable player next year. Christian Senior Jim was a speedy half-back, running for many long gains a deadly tackier. Clapper Senior Homer, at tackle, gave a good account of himself as a blocker and a tackier. Minehart Senior Jim was a clever and shifty end, often being called upon to carry the ball. This makes three years for him on the varsity. Groves Junior A versatile player, playing fullback, center, and tackle— Gene should develop into a fine player. Evans — Senior Gene’s knee, injured early in the season, kept him on the side- lines part of the time. He played hard when he was in the game. Plinke Junior—Fritz’s excellent punt- ing made him an asset to the team. We won’t forget the Dover game. Gerken Junior Darrell gave a good account of himself at end; his ability to snag passes was marvelous. FOOTS A LI. SQUAD How One (left to right)—Frank Dlndore. Hob Black. Darrell Qerken. Bob Blcrly.

Although they were beaten by one point in the Southeastern Ohio district tournament (Inals, the Lancaster Golden Gales established an enviable season record in basketball, win- ning 19 out of 23 games played. During the regular schedule, the Gales won 16, lost three and finished second in the Central Ohio League with 11 wins and three losses. Lancaster lost twice to the defending state champs, Newark, also to Coshocton, and then to Marietta in the tournament. For the entire 23 games, the Tornadoes rolled up a total of 1077 points and their opponents tallied 799. In the Central Ohio loop, the Gales registered 650 points and their opponents 513. In the tournament the Gales made 177 points in four games and their foes, 114. Bob Dickey, Lancaster center, finished the season with a total or 404 points in 23 games. This total included 157 field goals and 90 foul shots. His point average per game was 17.4, which broke the C. O. L. individual scoring rec- ord. He also set a record by scoring 35 poinls in the second game with Cambridge. For the entire season the Gales averaged 46.8 points a game to the opposition’s 34.3 points per game. Some very outstanding games were played in our high school gym. Most notable were the Newark, Coshocton, Columbus Central, and Cambridge games. The Central game was the most thrilling at the close of the game. The Gales came from behind in the final two min- utes to win by four points. The Newark game was remembered for the fact that the Gales held the state champion Newark team to one field goal during the entire second half of the game. The Coshocton-Golden Gales game was a high scoring affair with the lead changing hands twenty times during the game. The Cambridge game was the best offensive mark of the Gales with 64 points being scored. This record is more commendable in the fact that at the beginning of the season there were only two returning lettermen on hand, around which to build a team. These were Jim Dauben- mire, forward, and Bob Dickey, center, but with very good coaching and a very healthy interest in playing shown by the boys, the shortage of lettermen was smoothed over. Also note- worthy is the fact that no be had any eligibil- ity troubles with his scholastic work through all the season. This should help to prove that goed athletes are also good students. The entire team xhibited an unusually fine spirit of cooperation. Team play meant as much as the individual excellence of the play- ers in making such a successful season possible. Undoubtedly the factor that accounted for this successful season more than any other was the conditioning and training of the team. The coaches became acquainted with all the par- ents and the spirit of team play extended even to the parents. The team as a whole was in better condition than possibly any other team produced in Lancaster’s history. This played a big part in many of the team's victories. This fine team play aroused the spectator in- terest more than in other years. The financial outcome of the season was the best in the his- tory of the school. Five seniors played their last year for Lan- caster High School and will be sorely missed when next year rolls around! However, seven juniors and a promising group of Reserve play- ers, should provide a very good team for Lan- caster during the ’44-’45 season.

CLASS POEM Four years ago we entered High; As freshmen lost were we. At first the road seemed hard and long— Just like eternity. But now we see how time has flown— Four years seem like four days. We realize the time has come To go our various ways. Now there were times when things were “tough,” But these were very few. There were so many days of joy, The sad ones pass from view. The happy times our class has shared Are pleasant to recall: Those parties, dances, wiener roasts, And football games in fall. The wisdom of our teachers’ words, We’ll think of through the years; And ’though our future’s not so bright. We face it without fears. With one last look we say good-bye, And then we must be gone; Although school days must pass with time. Fond memories live on. —Mary H. Schneider CLASS HISTORY On Tuesday. September 3, 1940, we, the Class of '44 first looked upon the halls of learning of Lancaster High School. As we entered the wide and high-ceilinged auditorium, we felt rather small and insignificant a feeling that established itself as fact rather than fancy, although it took us a full year to admit it. We were dismissed at ten o’clock, and went home with some vague doubts about high school life. However, after several weeks of hunting on the second floor for the gymna- sium and looking in the basement for Room 210—no doubt following some upper- classman's directions we got ourselves situated, and we settled down to what we then thought would be a long four-years' drag. By September 24, the most of us had the nerve to venture out alone on the streets again, without the fear of being chased down an alley just two jumps ahead of a heavy belt. After a lapse of several more weeks, we had organized into a semblance of a class, but it was not complete till we had elected the following as our class officers: Jim Daubenmire, president; Joe Lavelle, vice-president: Ginny Sells, secretary; and Dave Acton, treasurer. New acquaintances were made at a wiener roast at Acton's farm on October 9. On November 8, Helen Kaumeyer served as freshman attendant to the Queen at the Homecoming Game. Before we knew it, the date of January 29 came around, and with it mid-year exams. Although there were some palsied hands and shaking knees before each of the tests, the majority of us came out without any permanent mental disability. As warm weather arrived, time seemed to pass more slowly, but when June 6 arrived, we had finally reached our goal. We were no longer freshmen! During the summer vacation, we were saddened to learn of the death of Dorothy Wolfe, a classmate known to all of us. Although September 6 meant that we were again to start the old grind, life had a new meaning for us. We had now acquired the high and mighty title of sophomores, and were we proud! No longer were we the tolerant underdogs of the past year, but we now spoke the word freshmen bless them every one with a sneer or a cynical laugh. Of course the novelty did wear off, but we had had our fun. On September 23, we chose the following as our leaders for the year: Jim Mine- hart, president; Emily Carr, vice-president; Ginny Sells, secretary; and Willis Rum- mell, treasurer. After the Homecoming Game on November 14, there was great rejoicing, for our football team won the Central Ohio League Championship. Although there were one or two sophomores on the team, we were proud of all of them. Beverly DeBolt was selected to represent us as sophomore attendant to the Homecoming Queen. On Sunday, December 7, we were startled as our radios sizzled with flash re- ports of the Japs’ dastardly attack on Pearl Harbor. December 8, we assembled in the auditorium and in hushed silence listened to President Roosevelt's request for a Declaraton of War. On January 21, we again struggled this time a little more calmly through our mid-years. From March 2 through March 5, the evaluation of Lancaster High took place, during which time all students and teachers were under close observation. We passed. The sophomore class choose May 21 as the date for the sophomore party. It was held in the gym and was complete with card-playing, ping-pong, and dancing. Before we knew it, June 5 arrived, and we had now reached the half-way mark on our ladder of learning. CLASS HISTORY On September 8, we reentered the portals of Lancaster High with the realiza- tion that we were now upper-classmen. Following are the officers whom we chose to lead us in our many hours of trials and tribulations as juniors: Bob Dickey, president: Joe Lavelle, vice-president: Jane Halsey, secretary; and Ginny Sells, treasurer. On October 13, the junior class sponsored a wiener roast at Little Brook Farm. With the exception of some scattered cases of indigestion, a good time was had by On November 13, Ginny Sells had the honor of being selected as the junior at- tendant to the Homecoming Queen. We were shocked the morning of January 13 to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Neff, our assistant principal, a man loved and respected by all his pupils. As January 22 passed, we were again surprised to find how little we knew per- taining to school subjects. You guessed it mid-year exams. Spring now ushered in the greatest yo-yo season since 1936. It was the Central Ohio League. On April 9 the Junior Class presented Best Foot Forward,” a three-act comedy. A large part of its success must be attributed to Miss Gesling, who very capably directed it. The apex of our social entertainment was realized in the Junior Prom on May 7. At the Junior-Senior Banquet, the juniors were hosts to the departing seniors. On June 4 we again regained our freedom with a sigh. That all-important diploma was much nearer now. As September 3 arrived, we entered our last lap at Lancaster High as the Senior Class. After much thought and consideration, we gave the following the privilege of leading us in our final year of high school: Bob Dickey, president; Darley Wood- geard, vice-president: Ginny Sells, secretary; and Eugene Evans, treasurer. At the Homecoming Game on November 5, Ginny Sells was crowned the Home- coming Queen, with Kay Brodc as her senior attendant. Because of the influenza, school was dismissed on December 20 for the Christmas vacation, and opening was delayed a week after the regular vacation. Because of the two weeks' loss of school, there were no exams. Students were so disappointed they went into mourning for three days. During the War Bond drive in January, Lancaster went over its goal for the year- $100,000.00 worth of bonds and stamps. Then came spring. In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of—shall I join the Navy, Marines, or Air Corps? Although the senior class was being depleted by the armed forces, the remainder of us looked ahead with expect- ant enthusiasm. The senior play Ghost Wanted, presented on April 21, was enjoyed by a large audience. Miss Gesling ably directed it. Events now moved swiftly to the close of school. The Junior-Senior Banquet, on May 19, was followed that evening by the Senior Ball, which proved to be a gala affair. The Baccalaureate service was on May 28, and May 29 marked our senior class night. Commencement on June 1 was an appropriate ending for our school days at Lancaster High School. Thus it is that we fondly “reminisce” over these four happy years of our lives: and we have a firm belief that the experiences gained during our too brief sojourn will enable us to meet our own expectations and face with a strong heart and clear eye the challenging mists of the future that lies before us. Willis Ruminell CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Lancaster High School, upon full recognition of the fact that all great and famous people must take their greatness into this wide world so that others may benefit by it, leave this our refuge of the past four years and travel into the unknown depths of adulthood. Therefore know all men by these presents, we the Senior Class of 1944, being of sound mind and body at the time this our last Will and Testament is written, do hereby bequeath our most valued possessions in the following manner: Section I. To our never-to-be-forgotten faculty, our grateful appreciation of the understanding they have shown in helping us through our many trials and tribula- tions and in overlooking our strange but daring feats. Section II. To the Juniors we leave our ability for leadership and the privilege of remaining another year at our Alma Mater. Section III. To the Sophomores, the right to share our dream of the future in which we see a world at peace plus more shoes, gasoline, tires, and sugar unra- tioned, of course. Section IV. Now to the Freshmen the poor abused Freshmen. We have some good news for you! You’re going to graduate from the “torture chambers” of the Freshman class and go into the Sophomore class to await the honor of becoming upper-classmen. Section V. To the incoming class of 1948 we thoughtfully bequeath a box of Band-Aids” and a bottle of “Merthiolate” for use on your wounds. The fellow students of L. H. S. will wholeheartedly see to it that they are used. Section VI. To the Janitors we bequeath the honor of spending your summer vacation taking care of all the little marks so artistically drawn on the desks. Section VII. We, Harold Bierly, Bob Bierly, Everett Ford, Henry Kiphen, Eugene Lane, Jim Minehart, Bill Milligan, Glenn Nieser, Bill Steinhoff. Darley Wood- geard, and Dick Clark, to every boy who can pass the physical tests of U. S. Armed Forces our physical fitness. I, Jim Christian, to next year’s football team my sportsmanship and ability to take the pigskin down the field.” We, Joan G. Beck and Jo Ann M. Beck, willingly give the trouble we have had keeping our names and personalities fitted to the right Joan to anyone who thinks she can handle the job. I, Virginia Sells, to Betty Hannan my sweet dispositioin and wonderful person- ality. We, Bill Beck and Don Stuck, to Bill Cunningham and Tom Pierce our loyalty as managers of the football and basketball teams. I, Helen Kaumeyer, to Maxine Hettinger my chattering ways.

Because of all the valuables being disposed of, we hereby appoint Mr. Wilson, Miss Gesling, and Mr. Pratt executors of this our last Will and Testa- In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this 29th day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-four. (Signed) Class of 1944 Georgia Kane CLASS PROPHECY The sound of bells ringing, horns blowing, and people laughing and shouting Happy New Year” came to the ears of the famous criminal lawyer, Hugh Clem- ents, as he sat in his study. Another year gone by,” he thought. I wonder what changes the past years have brought to my old class of ’44 at Lancaster High School. He arose, sauntered over to his huge shelf of books, and extracted a very dusty book titled Mirage.” Slowly he began to turn the pages. Bernice Adams. My! She is now a famous roller-skating star for M. G. M. Studios. She is currently starred in “Twinkletoes” with the great “jive” king, “Happy” Swingatra, formerly Harold Bierly of L. H. S., who was with the Marines in World War II. Charles Jack” Widener is the District Attorney for New York State. It is rumored that if Governor Willis Rummell of Ohio runs for President, “Jack will also be on the ticket for Vice-President. Here is Lois McGrew. She was such a charming girl. I believe she is now the head of the Physical Education Department at Western Reserve University. Two girls that really worked their way up to fine positions are Thelma England and Nellie Canfield, the co-managers of Gallaher's Drug Store. Why, I remember when they were only soda clerks at the fountain in the Lancaster branch. Since Mr. Gallaher has retired, they have taken over the business. When Bill Steinhoff came back from the Marines in World War II, he married Rosann Cox. I can just see Bill sitting around the fire telling his sons of his battle experiences. The Plinke cousins. Esther and Dorothy, have the lawyer concern, Plinke and Plinke. They get in my hair sometimes when I have a good case. The famous artist, Jeanne Prentice, is now painting the portrait of King Allen II, who was Allen James in '44, but who went back to England to claim his crown when King Allen I, his elder brother, died. How well I remember Kay Brode and Dee Brown. They always dressed alike and anyone would have thought them to be twins. Now they have twin houses side by side, and each has a set of twin daughters. The William Entsminger Canning Company is one of the largest in the country. Bob Bierly and David Conant are on the Board of Directors. Lucile Delp is private secretary to Bill. Eugene Lane and Helen Downs were married when Eugene became a stockholder in Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation. They are now prominent citizens of Lancas- ter. Speaking of Lancaster, Randall Miller, was recently elected mayor of this old town. He succeeded Edgar Smith. “Blossom Time” is quite the favorite now. It is rumored to be the stage hit of the year. Don Stuck, the author, dedicated it to Pattie Reinschield. Jeanne Morrow won the academy award for her wonderful performance in Departed with the Cyclone.” She co-starred with Homer Clapper, who also received recognition. Jeanne’s lovely blonde hair is now dyed black. At the convention for nurses of World War II, Lts. Mary Schneider and Carol Jean Amendt were awarded the Purple Cross for bravery at Mindinau. Ray Bauman has come a long way since the days when he said he was going into real estate. He now owns agencies all over the country. John Steinmetz, Edward Rockey, Virginia Shull, Bill Kehrer, and Mary Hedges are all branch man- agers in his concern. The Barbara Lee Holcombe dresses are all the rage now. Barbara is quite a famous designer. Her fashions have even stormed Europe. Joseph Lavelle is now mayor of New York. I've heard it rumored that his suc- cess is due to his wife. Lenora Lavelle, formerly Lenora Taylor. Could be! Richard Vogel has remained a bachelor ever since Lenora married. He sunk himself in his scientific studies and is now famous for his discovery of sending articles through the telephone wires. Hunting was always Bob Conner’s favorite sport. Now he is hunting game all over the world. Brooks Hoffman, the great writer, has written a biography of Bob which is now on the market. Peggy Giesy and Vivian Glisson have a reducing school for women. It is called The Gone But-Not-Forgotten Farm.” Everett Ford is the physical director of the farm. CLASS PROPHECY When I was flying down to Florida to see Eugene “Jiggs” Evans, the mayor of Tampa, I had Helen Kennedy and Rosemary Martin as hostesses on my plane. While I was there, Jiggs” took me to “The Zimmerman Follies of 1966.” Dick Zimmerman is the producer. Vernon George starred and made a great hit with his singing. There were several members of the erst from our class. Betty Lou Evans, Mary Margaret Goode, and Mary Louise Fisher were in the chorus. Joan Ball and Virginia Sells did their famous acrobatic dance in which Joan toe dances on Ginnie as Ginnie does the back bend. On the way back, I decided to take the train. I had quite a chat with Dr. Bill Beck, whom I met in the smoker. Bill told me he had quite a practice in Chicago. Dorothy England is his head nurse. Esther Young, Barbara Yenrick, and Mary Alice Waldeck are typing teachers at Bliss College. Her home and family is the pride of Betty Mann. Mr. and Mrs. James Minehart (Patty Smith) and Captain and Mrs. Darley Wood- geard just returned from a round-the-world cruise. Captain Woodgeard served in World War II with the U. S. M. C. Henry Kiphen also was with the U. S. M. C. in World War II. He. Bill, Darley, and Harold left together in their senior year. Henry is now head of the B O Railway Co. Emagean Woods, the girl of many jobs, finally settled down to one job, that of keeping house for Paul Moore. She and Paul were quite unexpectedly married last fall. Up until that time Emagean had been private secretary to Senator Jack Nolder. Speaking of senators and government. Luella Hudnall succeeded Frances Perkins as Secretary of Labor a few years ago when Roosevelt was finally defeated. The old high school has been kept going by some of our class also. Mary Lou Herdman is teaching English literature: Dorothy Goslin. biology: James Christian, physical education: Imogene Conrad, the library: Hazel Poling, home economics: Esther Smetters, physical education for girls; and Norma Jean 3arnes, typing. Mary Alice Combs is president of the American Legion Auxiliary. She is now Mrs. Bob McLaughlin. Bob owns the Lancaster Hotel. The coach of the Notre Dame football team, which you are hearing so much about, is none other than our Max Bitler. The dur gists’ association is headed bv Mary Margaret Westhoven, who. for some time worked as a clerk at Risch's Drug Co. John Denney also belongs to this asso- ciation. He and Charles Davis own the “D D” chain drug stores. Thelma Darling and Diana Reynol have crashed the movies! Both girls are box- office hits, and it is a continual battle between them to be top box-office star. Wayn6 Bushee and Jack Elick are their producers. The Sterling Brown-Bob Dickey combination has stuck since grade school. They are now co-owners in the baby carriage business. The motto of the firm is, “Keep Em Rolling!” The radio has been an open field for the class, especially since television came in. Lanessa Kiger has her own program entitled. “Advice to the Lovelorn.” The lady who gives the wonderful recipes every day at 12 o'clock is Norma Jean Ditto. Glenn Nieser plays the part of the villain in the serial, Withering Huts,” and Bill Milligan, the hero. The heroine is Virginia Phillips. Your faithful and unbiased news commentator is Mary England. The firm of Trusler and Thornton Hosiery is the sponsor of this broadcast. Bob Black is head of the F. B. I., and I've heard he's a second J. Edgar Hoover. Kenneth Ankrom, Archie Calvert, Joe Lenz. and Clarence Henwood are the crack men on his staff. Marie Corwin and Betty Harvey are the finger-print experts. The Joyce Langlo School for Girls is ouite a reputable school. I understand that Harry Lamb, the Wall Street financier, Marie Ditto. Hollywood gossip hound, and Paul Helber. the great railroad magnate, are the silent backers of the school: Emily Carr is the swimming champion of the world. She and Miriam Andrews were sent to the 1964 Olympics by the United States. Miriam was sent for pole- vaulting. The United States minister to Great Britain is none other than our own James Daubenmire. He has introduced basketball over there, and the ministers take one night a week for it. Howard Schisler, Superintendent of the Bovs' Industrial School, recently an- nounced that William Blosser. Sam Wildermuth, and Kathryn Abram would be added to the staff in September. Gertrude Schweikert has the Madame Charmes Beauty School. Kenneth Thomp- son, Marie Peters, Jeannette Ellis, and Dorothea Evans are all graduates and have fine shops all over the country. CLASS PROPHECY The toast of New York society is Helen Jo Lytle, who has received great fame for her newspaper column in the New York Times. The name of Wanda Edwards is famous over the whole country. She made mil- lions in interior decorating. Miriam Laver and Robert Strohm are her secre- taries. She needs two to take care of the money. The managers of her shops are Ruth Saunders, James Sain, and JoAnn Murdock. It is quite exclusive. She even has to hire a body guard who is none other than Robert Brenstuhl. The all-American football player to this date (and at his age, too) is Dick Clark. Max Bigerton is his manager, but if he weren’t, he'd be running Dick a close sec- ond. They will both go down in football history. Have you seen the new Bowers’ Watches? With the expert help of James Pick- ett. Virgil “created” this lovely watch. He called the ladies’ style the ' Virginia Mumford” after the girl he admired from school days. Norma Jean Bartley and Mary Azhell are now co-owners of the A B Dime Stores. They are in close competition with Carolyn Wostenbargcr. who has started a nickel store and is doing a fine business. Christine Walter, of the Walter and Suiter (Marjorie Suiter) Dairy, has created a new formula for babies. Her name is on every mother’s tongue in America. One of the finest ranches in Texas is owned by Henry Barnett. He ahd his wife, the former Florence Ankrom, own a large cattle ranch; ahd at night you can hear Henry strumming on his guitar. If you’re looking for a good manager for your swing band, try the Mariellen Burke Studios. I remember when she first started rounding up bands for dances for the Home Economics Club back in 1944. Speaking of high school days, do you remember Jacqueline Loving and Georgia Kane? Georgia was noted for her tumbling and Jackie for her voice. Jackie and Georgia are now starred in Metropolitan’s AIDA, with Jackie's voice singing the solos and Geor'gia doing her tumbling in one act. Newspapers were always the delight of his life, and now Richard Hawk owns one. Florence Strawn does the society on the coast-to-coast paper. Sports are featured by Eugene Bowman: and the paper’s star-reporter is Lois Ann Dickson. Ruth Boyer, the girl you heard least from in school, is the girl you hoar most from now. She writes the famous column My Day,” which was started by one Eleanor Roosevelt. Those thrilling chillers that come over the radio on Monday night are written by Robert and Neil Grimm. The name is most fitting, for their “chillers” create a grim atmosphere. I have often wondered what happened to Helen Kaumeyer; so the other day I looked her up. She is the head of the State Hospital for the Insane in New York. ‘ It is a beautiful place, and Helen is quite happy with her work. “Cristy Crackers are delicious. Yum-Yum-Yum-m-m.” Haven’t you heard that on the radio a hundred times a day? Well, it is Marietta Bontrager advertising Cristy Crackers. They are made by the Crist Cracker Company, owned by Wanda Crist. Joann Raymond and Eileen Robinette have a kindergarten in Lancaster. I have been told that Joan G. Shaeffer, Jr., is really a problem. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shaeffer (the former Joan Gertrude Beck). The “At Your Beck and Call” all-night information service is owned by Eugenia and JoAnn Margaret Beck. I went to see America’s favorite game,” baseball, the other day at the Yankee Stadium. Don Poling has been the Yanks’ leading pitcher for the last few years. Don got hit with a bat and Jessie Plank, who was also attending the game, admin- istered first aid. Looking over the audience, I saw Mr. and Mrs. William Boyer (JoAnn Cruit). Bill is the great steel magnate. You’ve heard of Boyer Steel! Betty Shaw and Mary Short are tied for the national bowling championship again this year. Betty is in the lead so far, but Mary is giving her a tough fight. The last, Jacquelyn Smith! “Jackie” has broken all records in the typing con- tests of the county. She really can make her fingers fly. Oh yes-s-s. “Mr. Clements! I say, sir. You’re talking in your sleep.” “(Yawn) Oh Yes! Charles. I must have dozed off. I had the craziest dream about my old Class of ’44. Well, Happy New Year, Charles.” —Barbara Wallace JUNIORS Row On (left to right)—Lola Acord. Zola Acord, Dick Altman, Jean Arent. Jeanne Anne Ater. Don- ald Halley, Don Balnter, Ruth Barnes.
