' r if if FOREWORD Within the old secluded Walls of Vocational, many students are looking forward to the day when they can complete their task of learning their chosen vocation by exchanging practice for actual experience. Now they want excitement, social activi- ties, and novelty. For the last time in the history of the old Vocational, the daringtruth of the concealed facts about the Vocationalites, is revealed in this yearbook. ln the coming years, when they turn the pages of this Craftsman, they will recall the fond memories and strong friendships of plea- sant days spent at Vocational. fn fl . f fQL2ill?NNfl l l K 71, X? 7?

TAYLOR As the last class to be graduated from our historic old building, ufe take pleasure in dedicating our yearbook to Mr. Taylor, member of the Board ry? Education for three years and President ay' the Board for the school year 1937-38. He is a man who has done much for Vocational Education in Toledo, one who has given a great deal if his own time and ejort to the understanding of the fundamental philosophy and guiding principles of Vocational Training. Mr. Taylor is truly interested in this type if education, as applying to both boys and girls, and he has made numerous special trips to Washington, D. C., to aid in secur- ing Federal jinancial aid in building the new .Vocational High School. Since that time he has kept in close contact with the original plans, actual construction, selection of equip- ment and other phases of the erection of the new Vocational building. He senses most keenly the ever increasing need for the Vocational type of educational program in train- ing good citizens for the Toledo of the future. H N T N D E N f. I MR. E. L. HOWSHER Nearly twenty thousand young people will graduate from the high schools of Ohio this year Xlany of these lwoys and girls will enter college and the university, others will go directly from high school into the yarious fields of industry. 'lihe people of 'l'oledo have estahlished Vocational High School hetter to prepare the youth who are plan- ning to go from school into industry. lfrom this group will come the social and industrial leaders and followers of tomorrow. 'lihey are going into a rapidly changing social situation. llihe solution of yestertlayfs prohlems will not work today' hecause the prohlems are different. 'lihe picture of tomorrow will undouhtedly he different from that of yes- terday and today. Ciyilized peoples are on the moye. Democratic government in most countries is on the rocks. Strange philosophies of government are in the saddle among the older nations and are knocking at our yery' door. llihe adult citizen of this country is homharded from all sides hy' new and conflicting ideas concerning all our funda- mental social institutions. He must he equipped to find a way out. 'lihe curriculum of the puhlic schools and the organization of its materials are under most careful scrutiny. 'lihe high schools of yesterday enrolled the select few. ilihey' were the pupils interested in an academic type of train- ing, desirous of preparing for the learned professions. lluring the past twenty five years high school attendance has increased nine hundred per cent. 'lihe student hody of the high school is no longer limited to the select few. lhey' are all there. l'rohahly eighty per cent of the present high school pupils are not interested in academic training, and for that reason, vocational courses and vocational high schools for hoys azid girls haye heen estahlished. Beginning next fall with the opening of new Vocational High School a wider range of opportunity for yoca tional training will he opened to the youth of our city. My congratulations are extended to the N38 graduates of Yocational High School. Xlay every success in the world accompany' their efforts, for it is through this success that the people of 'l'oledo are compensated for what they have done in the cause of education. l.. Hot:e.fArr Superintendent of Schools D I R E C T O R MR. CARL T. COTTER TWO MAJOR OBJECTIVES: Wfith the opening of the New Vocational High School in the Fall of this year, there will have been achieved the first major objective in the Vocational Educational program for Toledo - that of providing a modern building in which to house a progressive vocational program for boys. The building, which is plain but modern in design, substantial in construction, and well adapted to the pur- pose, is now in the last stages of completion. Located as it is, on Nlonroe Street at l6th, it will serv e well the needs of the community for many years to come as a central school. The interior arrangement of shops and laboratories is designed for flexibility which will permit future adjustment of the Hoot space to changing educational conditions without seriously affecting the service features of the building, such as power, light, plumbing, etc. The building will serve NUI only the All-Day Trade students, but also the .Iourneymen and Apprentice work- ers as well. This will be accomplished by the use of the building and equipment late afternoons, evenings, and Satur- day mornings for Trade-Extension and Apprentice programs. Our next objective will be to provide new building facilities for an Equivalent program for girls and women in the field of occupational training. To this end, the State Board for Vocational Education, cooperating with the Toledo Board of Education, is making a scientific survey of the occupational situation and conditions relative to female employment in Toledo, as a basis on which to formulate an definite program. ln the meantime, the girls' program will continue to be developed in the present Vocational High School. VVith the aggresive and favorable attitude of our present Board of Education and Administrative staff toward Vocational Education, and backed by a sympathetic public opinion, this second objective is most certain of attainment just as soon as the financial position of the Board of Education will permit. When these two objectives have been realized, Toledo will have facilities for a well balanced and effective vocational set-up. Car! T.

Throughout the preparation of this 1938 edition, the staffs principal aim has been to acquaint the Vocational students and faculty with the various activities, social affairs, classes, and students, so that they all may secure a clearer conception of the outstanding events of this past year. The task required ditiicult and sometimes continuous labor in creating ideas: also that ability necessary for actually performing the various essential tasks. We sincerely appreciate the contributions of the individuals on the Craftsman Staff: they all assisted in the making of this, our 1938 yearbook.

Scott conveyed to a board of trustees real estate valued at Q3lUU,0UU, this szifr T0 bf used to promote industrial education. ln 1873, these trustees negotiated with the City Council and the Board of Educa- tion to incorporate industrial training in the public school curriculum. The Scott Manual Training School was ded- icated in l885. 'lihus we can claim for 'lioledo the honor of being the first city into erect a school building where boys and girls learned practical arts. ln V906 the custody, management and administration of the Scott Manual Training School was committed to the Board of lfducation uso that the Manual 'liraining School may continue and the people of Toledo have the bene- fit of that school and the trust fundn. lfurther bequest were tnade by the son of Jessup VV. Scott. The Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 extended to the Boards of lfducation offering vocational education, Federal and State aid approximating fifty per-cent of the teaching expense. 'l'wo years later the Scott Manual Training School and old Central High School became known as VVood- ward 'liechnical High School, and both academic and vocational courses were provided. lfinally, in IQZS, the Board of liducation designated these buildings as H'l'he Vocational Schooln, to provide training in the skilled occupations only, to the youth of Toledo. Vocational liducation is offered in the following highly skilled vocations: l. Aeronautics 9. Mechanical Drafting 2. Architectural Drafting IU. Machine Shop 3. Automotive lflectricitv ll. Oflice Practice 4. Automobile Mechanics Lk Diesel lfngines l2. Pattern Making 5. Cabinet Making lk Millwork 1.4. Plumbing 84 Refrigeration fr. Uollision Service I4. Printing 7. Commercial Art l5. Sheet Metal S. lflectricity lo. Welding ln these shops are taught the practical work, the manipulative skills in both hand and machine operations and also knowledge of handling and processing materials, use and care of equipment, and shop maintenance. Fifty per- cent of the students time in the Vocational High School is spent in the shops acquiring vocational competency in pac- tical shop work in one of the vocations listed above. f-,tx-s. . f 'Mm . .

It will be housed in ZZ shops of approx- imately 40 by 80 feet, with conference rooms, lockers, wash and tool rooms adjoining. There are seven especially designed science laboratories, .40 x 80 feet in size, and four blue print reading and applied drafting rooms, as well as standard rooms for teaching the fundamental principles of mathematics and the practical application of these principles to the work being done in the shops. Science work is planned to meet the needs of the vocation being studied, elementary science, materials and methods of construction, industrial physics and applied chemistry are all given. U N Related technical subjects, such as blue print reading, freehand sketching, lettering, applied drafting and lay- out work, are given to all students. Applied mathematics, includes review of arithmetic, practical algebra, applied geometry, logarithms, shop trigonometry, and use of slide rule. The major idea of the related subjects is to give students the ability to read blue prints, to make sketches, to lay out their work, and to understand the fundamental principles of processing and fabricating materials as well as the construction and operation of all kinds of machines. The social studies, such as business and general English, American history and civics, social and economict problems, business organization and management, first aid and safety, health and physical education, enable the studen to understand the social significance of life and to develop his own personality so that he can get along well with other people in his human contacts. The extra activities, student council, school newspaper, engineering society,l-li- Y Clubs, orchestra, band and glee clubs and the intra-mural and interscholastic program of athletics also furnish the students many other activities in which to participate to help make him a well rounded individual. The building will have a fine gymnasium, 60 x 90, an auditorium to seat lflflil persons, a technical library for reference and research work, a large activities room which in the future will be made into a swimming pool, a cafeteria in which well balanced lunches will be prepared and sold at a nominal sumg a health department, with full time nurse for first aid, safety and health education. The vocational education program to be offered in the new building is a well rounded program, offering balanced training of hand, head, and heart. lt will produce young men who will become self supporting, self sustain- ing and contributing members of this community. The greatest achievement of this new Vocational High School is the development of the individual vocational high school student to be physically, mentally, and temperamentally fitted and trained for his work. l-le will then earn a good living, be happy and contented in his work, win the approbation of himself and others, be clean, honorable and strong, spend his spare time intelligently, and develop an inquiring mental attitude. The final result, a one hun- dred percent successful citizen. t , , 'w f a Q a f W 2 ' 5' f R M. 1 , bf 1 1 A tm. m it P e. r. . ,. V ' 1, or . K 2'-'lm st .. P THE NEW BUILDING T Culminating years of effort on the part of those interested in Vocational Training in Toledo is the new, Vocational High School building soon to be completed on Monroe Street at 15th Street. For boys only, it is one of the most-modern buildings of its type in the country and Toledo can be justly proud of this step forward towards a more complete educational program for its youth. g Covering an entire city block the building is planned in two sections, a related section on Monroe Street and a shop section on the Washington Street end. The related section of steel construction is three stories high and re- lated class rooms in a horse shoe around the auditorium and gymnasium. The administrative offices are also in this- groug. A swimming pool is planned for the future below the gymnasium the room now used for social purposes. One enters on Monroe Street through a large lobby which can be divided to allow separate functions to be carried on in- dependent of each other. The auditorium, modern in design, has the seating capacity of 900. Permanent bleachers over the locker rooms provide seating for the gym. The shop section, covering more than half of the block, is two stories in height constructed of concrete. 22 shops, 7 science labratories and four blue print reading and applied drafting rooms are included. Each shop is a com- plete unit containing the usual space for equipment, a conference room, tool and stock room, and a locker and wash room. Because of the depth of the shops, they will be dependent on artificial lighting. The careful study given the layout of each shop has resulted in an exceptionally practical training system. Each shop has been provided where necessary, with water, gas, A. C. and D. C. electrical current and compressed air. Like training groups have been combined in the same rooms to avoid duplication of Equipment and to give the younger boys the advantage of working with those more experienced. For example the two print shops which 'have been combined and the wood working shops, cabinet making and Pattern Making who use the same mill room. - Outlets for loud speakers have been placed in each shop, but due to lack of funds the system will not be com- pleted at this time. The exterior, designed. in a modern style of brick and stone, admirably characterises the combined functions of industry and education. The broad plain surfaces are broken by large windows and further relieved by patterns in the brickworkg Each entrance has been emphasized with stone decorated with a carved design above it representing the wheels of industry. Over the main entrances on Monroe Street are six interesting carvings depicting important early events which made possible our civilization and machine age. These are the discovery of fire, early use of the lever, the primitive wheel, elementary decoration of art represented by pottery, early methods of weaving, and one symbol- izing primitive construction. Unusual in a school building are the three store windows on Monroe Street for the dis- play of work completed in the shops. - Planned to be completed by June, the school year of 1938-39 will begin in this new building. With this building to further the advancement of Vocational Education in the city of Toledo, there is no question but that it will inspire the people of this city to an enlarged program of education of a Vocational nature for an in- dustrial Toledo. Students and faculty alike, appreciate the faith placed in our Vocational program and are anxious to begin the advance made possible through the addition of these modern facilities.

DANNENFELSER ABUN DANCE Every healthy active-minded individual wants abundanceg an abundance not only of material things such as all of the necessities, some of the conveniences, and a few of the luxuries which affect his physical well being and comfort, but an abundance of health, an abundance of ideas, an abundance of friends, and an abundance of faith in himself, in the or- ganizations of which he is a part, in his fellowman, and, most important, an unlimited abundance of faith in God. If anyone does not want an abundance, there is something radically wrong with himg he is either sick, or he lacks im- agination or ambition. The question is how can this abundance be obtained by you 1938 graduates of the Vocational High School who are about to go out into the business world of commerce and industry? You have received, in this school, a solid foundation upon which to build for the future. You have been given a well- rounded program of education in the vocation you have chosen as your life work. Half of your time was spent in practical shop work. You studied the required related technical subjects necessary to make you a highly skilled craftsman, and you have also studied a group of social science subjects which will be of value to you in your social contacts with your fellow workers. If you are to have an abundance of the good things in life, your education, or your time spent in self improvement must never stop. As you know, education is a continuous process starting at the cradle and lasting until life ceases. Every kind of work is progressing so rapidly and so many new methods are being discovered daily that unless you continually read and study for advancement and keep up to date, you will soon find yourself far behind the times. If you want an abundance of friends, be friendlyg like attracts like, - do things for others - think of other people and their likes and interests and not only of yourself or your feelings and interests. An abundance of ideas can be acquired by your contacts with the external worldgfrom the many good books which you read, from your imaginative powers, and from the great creative force in the universe. If you want an abundance of faith, you must first have belief. Belief is the starting pointg faith, the straight line which leads you to your objective. You must have faith that all things are p issible or else how can you expect to accomplish anything and to attain an abundance of the good things in life, to which you are entitled only after you have earned them? You can't have an abundance of anything without effort, without sacriticeg without paying the pricey without the ability to imagine or to visualize what you wantg without the ability to plan, to organize, to put your ideas into operationg to follow through to completion that which you have startedg and, last but not least, an abundance of endurance -the ability to hold ony to keep going: to overcome obstacles, in the face ofopposition, after the others have given up the quest and quit the race! And so, my wish for each one of you is that you have an unsatiable desire for further knowledge, that you become an outstanding craftsman in your vocation, that you be capable of doing some one kind of work superlatively well, that you receive the good will and respect of your fellow workers, and that you become an outstanding leader in your chosen field of work. li KW. Dannffyfrlfrr Principal COORDINATORS MISS DOROTHEA BISHOP MR. PARRY BAUMKER MR. HAROLD C. ELWING A friendly smile and a cheery nod characterize Miss Dorothea Bishop's well-known ability to help those dires- ing her aidg is it but one of the rnanv fine traits that have endeared her to the girls of Vocational. Her enthusiasm in guiding the girls in any project which they undertake, and her tact in smoothing out all difficulties in their pathways, has done much to increase her prestige among the students. As a Senior Class advisor, these same abilities have made her very popular with the graduates. Nlr. Harry llaumker, jovial l3ov's Coordinator, is one of the few men encloxved with the ability to make friends with all those with whom he deals. His skill in achieving the successful outcome of any plan he undertakes for the betterment of the student body has made the entire school attached to him. 'lihe personal interest he takes in the affairs of the school has, with his activities as Senior Class advisor, given him the sincere regard of the xv hole school. lfngaged in lim vlovee iliraining work in industry, hlr.

Her democratic characteristics and air of friendly helpfulness have won the admira- tion and respect of the student body. Mr. Backus, Head of the Applied Drafting Department, a quiet man, is well known to both faculty and stu- dent body for the efficient manner in which he instills the basic facts of machine design into the minds of our future craftsman . Mr. Clements, head of the Social Science Department, is one of the friendliest and most congenial of our faculty members, although one of the busiest. His readiness, at any time, to give advice to those who are in doubt has made him one of our valued advisors. Klr. Clyde Harr, Supervisor of Mathematics. undoubtedly is the busiest teacher in Vocational. His ability to organize subjects and coordinate related material with shop work is one reason for our success- ful curriculum. l'nlimited ability and energy are responsible for the success of all he undertakes. Mr. Arthur Schrader, Shop Head, in addition to assisting with the plans for the Vocational School, has the important ,task of unifying the various shop instruction schedules.

Perhaps those students who first helped to organize this Student Council were proud of the fact that they brought forth, in this school. a student government. This Student Council was created as a definite plan whereby the students could participate in school governmentg also to aid the student body in all matters from which it will benefit. In the years past the Council has never failed the school, nor any organization in the school, in times of need. The Student Council has always helped in ser- ving the school, and the student body, with little thought of cost or time. It has stuck to all the jobs which it set out to dog generally it has accomplished its objectives. The Council has sponsored shows, concerts, dances and many other activitiesg all in an effort to lighten the hum-drum monotony of school life by some sort of entertainment. The Student Council has brought about a closer relationship between the different shops and clubs: likewise it has lessened the traditional gap between the students and the teachers. The Council has been helpful not only in serving the school as-a-whole, but it has developed the members of the Council by giving them responsibility, making them think clearly about matters which will benefit their fellow students. Their thoughtful considerations teach loyalty to the school, to the Student Council and to the entire student body. The aims of the Student Council are: to promote cooperation between the students and the faculty: to aid in solving all problems which confront the Vocational High School. It urges each pupil to participation in school affairs, to acquire a respectfull citizenship in our school commonwealth, and to develop in himself the power of self government by learn- ing through actual participation in the school government, just what his responsibilities and duties to his fellow students in school are: and to aid the student in securing the training necessary for good citizenship in later life. Students are informed of important events that take place at the Student Council meetings through the Hi-Crier and by items in outside newspapers, this activity handled by the director of pub- lications. The director of student organization brings forth business pertaining to all matters arising in the clubs. He has charge of the school calendar regulating all social activities. The Student Council also has many committees which accomplish all the other jobs that confront the Council. One such group is the assembly committee which appoints the days for assemblies, arranges the programs and sees that the auditorium is in order both before and after the assemblies take place. l Officers of the Student Council--Frank Carman, President: Dalour George, Vice-Presidentg Betty Druin, Secretary-Treasurer: Paul Schonberger, Sergeant-at-arms Advisors--Mr. Zeno F.

The Council elects all its oicers and names its committees from the group thus chosen. The students benefit by a Student Council since in its activities they practice the same types of government control under which they will later live. In the past years, the exhibit committee has cooperated with the faculty and principal in making arrangements for bulletin boards, store window displays and other advertising. The building and grounds committee has assisted in maintaining order and cleanliness in halls, library, cafeteria, gym, and on the school grounds. The members have charge of the annual clean-up and initiate any improve- ments in the building or on the grounds. To improve attendance, to reduce the tardiness and also to investigate absences are the duties of the attendance and tardiness committee. To provide special act- ivities for the girls of the school is the job of the girls' activity committee. The social committee has been a great asset in providing entertainment. The duty of the publicity committee is to publicize all activities of the Council. The athletic committee was at the disposal of any organization in school to referee games. This year money was collected at Thanksgiving and Christmas. With these funds baskets were purchased and distributed by the welfare committee of the Student Council. To formulate a courtesy campaign, to put into effect a courtesy program which should result in all students realizing the value of courtesy and order in their social life--these are the duties of the courtesy committee. The Council gives our school more publicity, improves the school spirit and raises all the stand- ards of the school. It also develops more initative on the part of the individual students and creates among all the pupils a grelter interest in the school.

The members of this club are never idle. They plan and enjoy the club meetings which are held the first and third Wednesday of each month. This year we have enjoyed several National Suppersf' Our first supper was Italian, prepared by Virginia Lesniewicz, Frances Stelmaszak, and Fern Bennett. Next Virginia Lewandowski, Helen Berger, and Josephine Racinowski prepared Z1 Mexican meal. The Hungarian girls, Marguerite Pankotay, Ida Kurucz, Ann Matesz, and Eleanor Weizer, cooked a Hun- garian supper. Some of the Polish girls, Dorothy Pawelczak, Angeline Duda, and Virginia Racinowski prepared a Polish meal. Another supper was a German one prepared by Betty Druin, Rita Durst, Genevieve Bailey, and Yvonne Van Vlerah. On December lst the Club held its annual Skating Party at Memorial Hall, it turned out to be a huge success, and was enjoyed by everyone who attended. In April the Valeda Club held their annual dance. Balloons and varicolcred streamers decorated the gymnasium. Other outstanding, social activities of the Valeda Club for 1937 and 1938 were : the Masquerade Party at Ottawa Park in October fwhen the club was entertained by the Engineering Society! 3 the Supper-Dance in January fheld at the Y. M. C. A. when the club was entertained by the Hi Y Clubi. At the Valentine Party, each Valeda girl was presented with a lovely gray sweater, bearing the blue emblem. A Club Reunion of all members, from those of the Iirst year, 1932, to those of 1938, was enjoyed in June. Each Valeda member has a Valeda sister to whom she sends gifts. and cards, at all holidays. This idea has worked successfully, and is enjoyed by everyone. The Valeda Club has twenty members and two advisors. and we are proud to say that we have taken active part in supporting all Vocational school activities. ITAYIIMI' lfirfzfr nluir in 1 1 X - - ff H C I L ' U Y B The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is set forth in its mottoe- To create. maintain and extend throughr ut the school and community high standards of Christian Character. The Vocational Hi-Y has done all in its power to make that motto a reality. For the past four years it has maintained its status as the largest, most active student group in Vocational High School It remains the only Vocational High School Club to have national afiiliations. Membership throughout the year was 42. Realizing the responsibility entailed by such prestige. and recognizing the fact that the strict requirements of vocational training schools leave little room for social activities. the immediate goal of the Hi-Y was to provide its members with those activities which they did not receive elsewhere. This was done by setting up a well rounded program of dances: outside speakersg city-wide Hi-Y-Frierdship Club forumsg organizing a four team. inter-club basketball leagueg and, in the spring, an indoor team. All of the members of the organization found in the program some activity which appealed to them as individuals. A list of events sponsored by the club includes: an early October weiner roast, a dance at the YMCA falso in Octoberi a skating party at Memorial Hall in November, a dance for the Valeda Club late in January 1' again at the YMCAD another skating party early in Februar y. a Weiner roast in March, and the annual dinner dance in May. The Hi-Y was active in the Maumee Valley Hi-Y Council. and took a leading part in the plan- ning of the State Hi-Y Convention held in Toledo November 28. 29. 30. In collaboration with the Woodward Senior Hi-Y and Friendship Clubs, our organization presented the most successful of a series of Sunday Forums at the YMCA on February 13. Dr. Frank Slutz of Dayton was conductor and 326 high school students attended. As an organization, the members of the Hi-Y performed various services for the school. These include the presentation of Dr. Slutz to the Juniors and Seniors at an assembly February 18, the delega- tion of a member to represent the school at the Toledo Youth Congress: participation in intramural athletics for the benefit of the athletic fund and participation in all general student activities. Services of individuals are too numerous to mention, members being active in athletics, student council. newspaper work, yearbook, class committees. etc. Quite aside from its normal program, the Vocational Hi-Y has attempted at all times, in its dealings with various kindred organizations, to impress others with the type of student attending Vocational High School, and also to sell them the value of vocational training. This continues to be a major aim of the organization. E S O C I N G 1 N E EE RT IY N G l This club. one of the oldest in Vocational Hi. was founded in 1929, by Principal Dannenfelser. to work toward the following objectives : furtherance of the study of Engineering beyond that obtain' able in High School by means of outside speakers 1 visiting local factories 1 etc. It is also the purpose of the club to bring the students of the school together by sponsoring its share of social events. The club began this year with but few members after graduation had taken its toll. Follow- ing the first initiation, the membership was brought up to the normal number. In its first year under its new adviser, Mr. Schweinhagen. the Engineers sponsored many in- teresting social and educational activities. The first social event of the year. which the Engineers gave. was a Skating Party at Mem- orial Hall held in October. It proved a huge success. both socially and financially. The big social event of the year, for the boys, was the annual party given by the club for the Valeda Club girls. The Halloween Frolic was held at the Ottawa Park Shelter House. under a canopy of black and orange decorations. As this was a costume affair. prizes were awarded to the peo- ple who were most expert and unique in their disguises. The club made many interesting plant trips. Among the places visited were The Page Dairy, The Safety Building, The Police and Fire Alarm Building, The Ethyl Gasoline Co.. The Champion Spark Plug Co., and other industries. The club members who could not go on the plant trips. but who attended regularly the meet- ings held at Vocational, had their store of knowledge increased by experienced lecturers. In addition. short. snappy meetings were held, followed by gym work outs which every one enjoy ed. One of the many authorities, whom the Engineers were pleased and proud to present at Vo- cational High School. was the Heverand S. tl Michelfelder. Vice-President of the Toledo Cooperative Trading Association. He traced for us the Cooperative Plan from its beginning in England down to the present day Plan in use in foreign countries and at home. He then compared these plans with our own plan used in Vocational High School. Our boys lost the club basketball title which they had held for several years, this tragedy in a hard fought game with the Hi-Y Club. Because of the loss. the Engineers treated the Hi-Y Club to a dance including refreshments. Our second skating party proved to be as successful as was the first one. The club concluded its social activities by having a steak roast for its members. only. The Engineering Society has a right to be proud of its nine years of unbroken activity and of its extensive 1938 program. i A S S G O I C R I L A s T ' 1 o r Q N The Girls' Association of Vocational High School was organized in the fall of 1936. This organiz- ation was formed to provide the girls with an opportunity to entertain their own sex and to improve our school environment. One purpose of the Girls' Association is to help the girls become acquainted with one another. Many of the girls in the different shops never would have become actually acquainted, had it not been for this organization. Another purpose of this club is to seek out special talents and emphasize and develop them: likewise to give any student an opportunity to show leadership among the girls. Another im- portant purpose is to discuss school problems that pertain to the association members as a whole. At the beginning of the school year, the girls in each shop choose one member to represent them. This representative picks a month during which she with her group would like to present a program. She is responsible for providing some sort of entertainment. Usually this chairman picks the members from her class that are most suitable for the type of show to be given. Each group of girls has an advisor who helps the chairman and her group in Whatever they de- cide to produce as their share of the year's program. V During our school year we have had speakers at our meetings such as Miss Abbott, personnel manager of a downtown department store, who spoke to us concerning what a personnel manager would like to find in a business girl. Mr. Dannenfelser spoke on Freedom in Life. These speakers assist us in gaining that knowledge which will help us in future life, Two humorous plays have been given this year. They were: Miss Hitty's Valentine and So- ciety Highlightsf' For Easter, the art girls gave three short plays illustrating Clothing and Person- ality. The various groups who have programs near such festivals as Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christ- mas and Valentine's Day usually provide little surprises. For HaIlovve'en, the girls gave candy suckers wrapped in the traditional colors. At Christmas the group gave candy again. On Valentine's Dav, valen- tines were presented to various girls in the audience, a stunt which proved to be quite humorous- with no injured feelings. Next year we hope to have a general chairman who will plan the programs for each month in advanceg likewise assist the group chairmen. We also have chosen a general secretary who will keep the minutes of all the meetings and read them at the proper time. At the conference held by the chairman in February, Genevieve Bailey was chosen to act as general chairman for the remainder of this year. Eva Mae Lary was chosen general secretary for the same term. We have great hope that this organization shall continue its good work throughout the coming years. H I C R I E R The Vocational Hi-Crier is the only current student news publication in our school. It is written edited, hand-set, printed, sold, and distributed solely by students of Vocational High School as an extra-curricular activity. The aims of the paper are: to keep the student body well informed concerning school eventsg to sell vocational training to the public at large. The editorial policy of the Hi-Crier stands firm in its anti-war attitude, encourages social activ- ities and sportsmanship, supports the government's crusade against social diseases, and works for a molding of student character on a continually higher plane. Hard work by the staff prevented the publication from operating with a deficit this year. As the nature of Vocational High School prohibits the soliciting of advertisements, the main source of rev- enue is subscriptions. In February, the Hi-Crier received 35 , of the proceed-s,-of a moviegi-vena inf the school auditorium, this being its only other source of income. Fine student support was given the paper with 633 out of 830 possible student subscriptions. Notable developments this year were: the participation of the staff in the Journalism Associa- tion of Ohio Schools Convention at Columbus attended by Walter Schultz, Eleanor Kusnierek, Albert Joseph, and Ramsey Rollo, accompanied by Art Adviser, Mr. E. W. Spring, and Mrs. Spring, entering the newly formed Toledo High School Press Association: and participating in the Northwestern Ohio Journalism Convention held in Toledo late in April. Developments worthy of separate mention are: the high rating of the paper at Columbus. and the invitation to membership received from the National Scholastic Press Association. The Hi-Crier staff attempted to publish, in the last year of school in this aged building. a paper better than all its predecessors, and worthy of the part it will play in student life in the New Voca- tional High School. The task of publishing a school newspaper this year, comparable to that of last year, was a most difficult one. The Hi-Crier of 1936-37 had set an all time high for news content, make-up, read- ability and general good qualities. A willing, capable staff produced a paper that was judged the second best high school publica- tion in the State of Ohio. Throughout this country, and in Hawaii, other high schools, with whom we ex- changed papers, used Hi-Crier material in their columns time after time. Staff members won indi- vidual awards from Toledo University for articles and editorials which appeared in our paper. Thus, the incoming staff found itself bearing the burden of maintaining at least, if not raising, the quality of the Hi-Crier of 1937-38. Fortunately, only four members of the editorial staff had been lost through graduation. The Hi-Crier began this term with a more experienced, better trained staff than usual at its head. The first issue of the paper appeared on the second Friday of school 'tright and on time. It was dedicated to Mr. E. L. Bowsher, new superintendent of schools. Each issue showed an improvement over the preceding one. Organization was marked by its efficiency. Financing of the Hi-Crier was a delicate problem f17 copies for 30 centsl but a carefully watched budget maintained the low subscription rate without operating at a loss. i I 1 i A Xcs is UA I: ...- d: -I -5 MR.
