The Senior Class presents Vne 1939 hlew-c iean depicting LIFE cd lleuMMMeMlwAUt JlufA School 9k Mem uam WAYNE BENTON HAYES December 22, 1880 — March 16, 1939 The untimely death of our beloved and most highly respected Superintendent cast a shadow of deepest sorrow and bereavement over our schools where he served so faithfully and efficiently for the past nineteen years. Professor Hayes was a great orator and educator, and sacrificed his life for the schools and the children he loved so well. His loyalty and unselfish devotion to the entire community will be an inspiration to all who knew him for many, many years to come. In the Newcomerstown Schools and in the hearts of our people, the memory of Wayne B. Hayes will live forever. Too late for the rose, the evening rain. Too late for the lamb, the shepherd's pain. True greatness is too often Unwept, unhonored and unsung. J 1939 I W OAS6oH M PuMi ked Editor in Chief Risher and Humor Editor Latham confer with Advertising Manager Fenton and Sales Manager Gunn, who develop many severe headaches. Photograph Editor Johns and Camera Editor Albright search for ideas for theme, arrangement, and all the other details that cause many sleepless nights, but they finally triumph and present for your enjoyment Life in Newcomerstown High School. Bill gives the salesmen a demonstration on how to sell each customer three annuals. Men, flot Mice We are very proud of our new principal. Mr. Tipton, who has proved himself to be very popular with every student and parent in town. He knows all there is to know about horses and tries very hard to win a game of ping pong from his wife, but his life's ambition is to be a successful principal and make Newcomerstown High School a bigger and better school We think he'll do it. Melba Steffen has been secretary since a freshman in high school. In spite of her customary late hours, she has a happy-go-lucky nature, a cheery personality, and is a very popular person with everyone. Miss Fenton, who is loved by every student of N. H. S.. is the official Dean of Girls, but she can be equally classed as such to boys. Her frankness and sense of fair play have elevated her to a place of respect among her students and fellow teachers. Mr. Charles teaches bookkeeping, but his big problem now is to find a way of being alone with his toy trains. He very ably assisted this year with the basketball coaching. Miss Macmillan has the difficult task of making Latin interesting to the students of N. H. S. We must say. however, that she does this with amazing results. Her patience, tact, and pleasing personality make her one of the outstanding members of the faculty. Miss Shields came chirping into our school this year and has been teaching the rest of the little birdies to sing. Though she teaches and produces the very best music, we suspect her of being a jitterbug at heart, as she often breaks into a bit of syncopation. Coach Woody Wills came to our school this year bringing with him an undefeated season in football, a record that has never been equaled in our history. Woody's chief interest in life is sports, particularly swimming. Mr. Hinds is noted in our school for the difficult tests he gives; but although we complain about his quizzes, we all admire him as a very conscientious teacher. His chief aim in life is to make a good man out of Junior. Miss Miller, our typing and shorthand teacher, is a very dependable person. When she says speed test tomorrow,'' we can be sure of three, maybe. She would like to become an experimental physicist and likes the study of nature. Mr. Howe, who is just an overgrown boy. is head of the Hi-Y and has won much admiration from all the boys. He is keenly interested in athletics, photography, hunting, and any other activity which brings him into contact with the students. Miss Baer is preparing the girls of our school for that great day in the near future; so they are learning to spill water, burn the eggs, and pile up the dishes. Her hobby is that of riding horses, but she'd like to own a tea room and read the tea leaves. Miss Bailey is one of the busiest members of the entire teaching staff this year. Besides her regular teaching load, she has sponsored the Girl Reserves, the Newcosean. the Junior Class, and directed the plays, in which her chief interest lies. Mr. Young is the ''new'' teacher who came to N. H. S. this year. He is quiet, unassuming, has a very contagious smile, and is at his best when demonstrating some principle for one of his mathematics or science courses. Mr. Riffle personifies energy. Besides his full teaching day, when he is busy making future carpenters, draftsmen, etc., he finds time to take an active part in athletics and assist with the coaching. His ambition is to have a well equipped shop in metal and wood work. We will admit that Ed Van Sickle would make a good radiator cap. but we think he makes a better Senior Class president, not only for his decorative qualities and his facetious nature, but also for his good leadership and likeable personality. Bob Portz carried on as vice president when Ed became too dazed to continue. He has been a member of the scholarship team since a fresh man, was discovered in his junior year to be an actor, and is known as one person to be depended upon. Jim Couts, as secretary and treasurer, gains his chief fame from his abilities as a mimic of unusual sounds. He is the Ted Husing of N. H. S. with his radio boadcasting. and you see evidence of his ability as an artist. We presume the drawing is the famous hound dog one heard on the football field so often. Dorothy Edwards, our social chairman, is one of the most pleasing personalities in the entire school. Dot is one who is noted for her dependability and her fine scholarship. It seems strange that she who radiates so much sunshine and happiness among her fellow students could in her spare time stoop to assist Doc Carpenter in inflicting so much agony on his patients.

Bob Thompson has the distinction of having been elected president of his class each of the three years that he has been in school. He is intelligent, capable, energetic, and gets up in the wee hours of the morn, long before school, and helps see that the Newcomerstown milk supply is delivered. Molly Gainor, who is secretary and treasurer of her class, played an important part in shaping the destinies of N. H. S. Besides her service as an officer and a student, perhaps she had more to do with Runt's catching the pass that beat Dennison for the first time in years, than we suspect. It takes inspiration, you know. jjmuosi OJJjiceM- Mary Ann Neal, besides being vice president of the class, is one of the outstanding activity students in the high school. She finds time to play basketball, take part in club work, and is very active socially. Her social life, however, has slowed down considerably since Ohio U. opened last fall. The worried expression you notice on Peg Gwynn's face all year is probably due to the fact that she is social chairman of the class and consequently has the responsibility of the Junior-Senior banquet this spring—or perhaps it's Red that's bothering her. jjum iA- 1st— Carl Johnson, Molly Gainor, Glenn McCune, Peggy Gwynn.

His very contagious smile with his ability as a scholar indicates that he will go far in attaining success in later life. Patty Hinds, the secretary and teasurer, is indeed a likeable girl (particularly in the dark, says Jim Couts). She was also one of the three little words and had a great deal to do with the Trojan successes of the past year. Martha Jane Best is one vice president that no one can accuse of retiring into oblivion, because at any time of the day or night one may hear a giggle of unmistakable identity. She deserves a lot of credit for her work as a cheerleader and is always a lot of fun because of her bubbling effervescence, or should it be called spontaneous combustion? Bob Edwards is the social chairman, a quiet, unassuming lad who is being groomed for head football manager for the fall of 1939. Besides proving his high scholastic ability in his studies, he also finds time to work on his stamp and coin collections. 1st— Kenneth Porcher. Doris Wolfe. Lores McAllister. Hope Johns.

Bob Fraley, who you see here striking a pose as assistant drum major, is the president of the Freshman Class and one of the leaders of his classmates. At times he brings his teachers nightmares, but he provides a lot of entertainment. fysiedAmen Ojp eAA. The young lady above is Clarice Britton. Her classmates notice that although she likes to talk in her classes and write notes in the study hall, she manages to keep her grades above the mar gin of safety. Besides being fond of night life, she is vice president of the Freshman Class. The queen was in the counting house, counting out her money. In this case, the queen is Frances Smith, and the money represents the coffers of the Freshman Class, over which she watches. Even with her studies and class office. Frances found time to sell Newcoseans to her classmates. James McFarland, too. seems to be fond of night life. He played football last fall and gained the nickname of “Dynamite. in his position of quarterback. Though he is small, he. like dynamite. packs a wallop. In his spare moments, he finds time to fill his office as Social Chairman for the Freshman Class. tynMhmeu 1st— Harold Pope. Edna Raach. Francis Moore. Madolyn Gadd. Ted Fletcher. Norma Miller.

No doubt the green eyed monster is working over time with the less intelligent— or should we say less fortunate—students who look up to these future wizards of the business world. Hard work and many hours of gruelling study were enjoyed by all. One might well be proud to belong to such a group. To be a member of these representatives of dear old N. H. S. is an achievement to be cherished among one's most sacred memories. This group represents every subject in high school and the best that the teachers could produce. Each year students with the highest scholastic honors trek to Kent State to- bring home the bacon or die a-tryin'. We propose a toast to the cream of the crop of learned young scholars. student Pnwd Typewriters, copysheet, stencils, mimeoscope, paper clips, art books, and chocolate bars compose the makeup of Mr. Hayes' office during Student Print week. As Artist Barnhouse draws the pictures, we see Martha and Emily typing the work that Editor Trees assigns them. In the background Mary is busy at one of her usual odd jobs. Tip drops in every once in a while to see that everyone is working. When finally the last stencil is put on file, and the copies have been issued, the staff heaves a sigh of relief, and everybody sings — except the ones whose names were mentioned in the gossip column. fecutd In the bleak and barren picture above we see the nucleus of what promises to be a flourishing organization in the near future. Mr. Baetti, whose services were procured by the Band Mothers' Club, listens day after day to the footings and squeakings that will soon be all put together to form a band that will lead our Trojans to certain victory—and, incidentally, push up the athletic gate receipts to a new high. We have the Band Mothers' Club to thank for the innovation, for they have worked tirelessly staging benefits and soliciting for money. (Have you ever tried it? It's not fun!) It is due entirely to their efforts that instruments have been bought and interest has become widespread. Qlee Gluk zmA Mixed Ck iud, We have in the Girls' Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus two of the most ambitious groups in the high school; for, under the very capable direction of Miss Shields, they completed two admirable projects: The Christmas Program, a very effective candlelight service of Christmas music; and the operetta, which proved to be one of the outstanding events of the year—in fact, we scarcely had school for a week, we all became so concerned over it. Lr m Jillna idf Club Give me Liberty or give me Life ... “Have you got anything on Cleopatra? Oh, skip it. I didn't want anything on her anyway. ... Why don't ground moles have rickets? ... I want the life of Napoleon. ... Who wrote Benjamin Franklin's autobiography? ... Give me a book on the subject I have written down here for a history report, Spanish Our Motto. ... I want a book on Ferdinand, and I don't mean the Bull. ... Let me see that book about the weather, Fair Tomorrow. ... Let's have Murder in the Library. These are some of the many requests heard by the librarians as they help the students satisfy their craving for knowledge. Gambia Glub Upon the request of Scoop Allbright, the purely candid camera club was formed. This organization is probably the smallest group in the school, yet it rates high in pure enjoyment. Two of the outstanding members, Scoop and Bull Hinds, contributed many pictures for this annual. The two technical members who adhered to camera rules and developed the dark room technique were Jack Wilson and Norman McPherson, both invaluable for their services. The members who comprised the majority were girls. Could this have been their vanity? The outstanding feature of the Candids' program was their field trips, which resulted in many excellent pictures, as well as true candid shots. Qi ii kedeMt l The Girl Reserves was a seething turmoil of activity. Never a dull moment was a slogan in the minds of every member. The girls more than held up their end of supporting the Trojans. There was a variety of programs presented at the regular meetings, every other Monday, but the girls put on their best bib and tuck when the Hi-Y boys came to be entertained. Of the larger activities there was the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y dance, and the annual formal banquet. The handling of such charming young ladies was managed by just such a charming young lady. Miss Bailey. The Hi-Y Club, under the masterful eye of Deacon Howe, was one of the finest the school has had in many a year. The Deacon gave many inspirational talks to his devoted followers—that is, when the boys would let him talk. The halls were like the highway between Barcelona and Madrid until the Hi-Y joined hands with the Girl Reserves and buried the hatchet. From then on things began to be done, such as Hi-Y-Girl Reserve clean up committees, joint meetings, and the annual dance. The Hi-Y also communicated with Dover and other out of town clubs. The Deacon and three of his reverends journeyed to Massillon to represent the local club and to obtain ideas for further use. The Hi-Y may be called a very successful starter for any boy who might belong. cHome Zc mmicA- Glub The Home Economics Club is the forerunner of Home Sweet Home. What he demands, the little wife has to produce; so at their meetings the girls busy themselves in the things they need most, too numerous to mention. The major projects are in sewing and cookery, for there never was a husband that wasn't hungry or without a hole in his sock. The girls discuss, all at the same time, their ideas of everything from sewing on buttons to knitting a complete wardrobe. Even though a girl enters and can't thread a needle or boil water, she emerges a full fledged expert in housewifely technique. ewcMetm CjoeA, % PaAty Out of the student body there emerged the interior decorators to pretty up the gym floor as only they could do it. A note of deepest gratitude is due those responsible for preparing that high point in the students' round of gaiety, the Hi-Y-Girl Reserve dance. There are those who can dance and those who can, almost. All this was forgotten. We all got together, let our hair down, and did some jiven' and jamin' aplenty. The Goodman Jitterbugs and the Strauss Waltzers rubbed elbows and liked it, even the teachers. Bob Smith and his band from Marion were to blame for the music, and we thought he was a second Tommy Dorsey. Everything went the way such an important event should, with only such minor interruptions as Steve Gombar and Nick Pappas bursting in dressed in dainty little pink aprons selling hot dogs to those who were daring enough to buy’them. As the time came to leave, there were cries of more from those who could still manage to swing; but as all great events begin, so shall they end with memories which linger on to be brought to light again when one is too old to dance. Ck eAbmdesiA and fiacvUen- Gluh In the midst of a gruelling battle on the field, our boys needed but to glance to the sidelines and see the lush young flowers strewn among the thorns of the crowd, and they grunted their very hearts out to gain another sacred inch of ground. Come on, gang! coming from the lips of one of the girls brought many a panting Trojan over the scoring stripe. Many of the boys fairly mowed down their opponents just to keep in the good graces of their heart throbs on the side lines. We've got to hand it to you, girls. 7he VtojanA, Vniumpii! The 1938 Newcomerstown football squad will long be remembered for the realization of its aim, the players' goal, the coach's dream— an undefeated season. The joy of this realization has been increased due to the fact that the '38 squad has accomplished a feat never duplicated by a Trojan team. Three factors have been responsible for this long-sought record: team spirit, the coach's endless energy, and the support furnished by the students and the community. The Team: Every evening our stalwarts memorized numbers, coordinated brains and brawn, drilled for cooperation, digested terra firma, accepted instruction, and entered competition the sixth day of the week for the love of the game. The Coach: Woody proceeded to eat, sleep, and dream football, map strategy, talk until he was hoarse, guide patiently, and cross his fingers every Saturday. The Students and Community: They all pulled together, tore their hair, developed nervous tension, and every Saturday paid the price to help encourage vocally the spirit of the team. ATHA—Senior—Lett End ■ ■ — Cy proved to be one of the greatest ends ever to don a Trojan uniform. He was elected captain because of his great leadership and fine defensive playing. VAN SICKLE—Senior—Guard VanSickle. that scrappy little guard, proved that he was a man-mountain when it came to blocking and tackling. He will be remembered as one who had the fight and spirit of a Trojan. BROWN—Senior—Tackle Russ's defensive playing was the shining light in his career as a football player. He was often called the fifth man in the opponent's back-field. SMITH—Senior—Guard Smitty was little but mighty. Possessing the do or die spirit, he was the big worry to opposing teams. He seemed to be everywhere at once. LATHAM—Senior—Center Playing his second year as a varsity center. Chip proved himself worthy of that position. He was a great defensive player as well as offensive. He will be hard to replace. MUGFORD—Senior—Tackle Bum made a success his first year out through his aggressiveness and fast play. Our only regret is that he had but one year to give to the Trojans. JIM COUTS—Senior—Right End Jim possessed the fight and determination that made him a real player. He proved to be the key-man both in offense and defense, coming through with spectacular plays at moments when they were most needed. PAUL PARKS—Senior—Halfback Injuries kept Paul out of several games. Entering the Dennison game with minor injuries, Runt caught the winning touchdown pass which defeated our most deadly rivals, thus showing his ability as a Trojan. STEVE GOMBAR Guard, fullback, halfback and center, and always a regular this year. Steve was the most versatilo man on the squad, having played bang up ball in all of the above positions. RAACH—Senior—Halfback Bob was one of the finest forward passers around this territory. He had the eye of an eagle and the arm of Hercules and figured in many a scoring play. BOB THOMPSON—Right End Tommy had plenty of fight and spirit. Combining these qualities you have an excellent ball player. He could be depended upon to do his part and possessed a never die spirit. CARL KREBS One of the few letter men back next year. He became a powerhouse on the line during the latter part of the season after he discovered you had to get mad to play football. A great prospect for 1939. GEORGE PAPPAS—Fullback His aggressiveness, good blocking, and fine ball carrying proved to be a great factor in the Trojans' winning streak. He will be a great asset to future teams. MIKE McCRONE—Senior—Quarterback Mike was fast, shifty, and a quick starter—his greatest, assets. His blocking, returning punts, and broken-field running proved fatal to his opponents. QaAJzetball 9n 1939 Due to inexperience, our basketball Trojans did not establish themselves as an outstanding quintet, although they gave their utmost. After a faulty start, they found themselves during the latter part of the season and proved to be a formidable foe to even the best class A teams in this section. They closed the season by winning five of the last seven games and were barely nosed out in the district tournament by Barnesville with a score of 34 to 32. A VARSITY N Wcudcm ficufA Big boys will be little boys in spite of everything, particularly during class lectures. Mr. Bond and his right hand man, Mr. DeLong, rather than listen to the voice of knowledge, busied themselves with composing the future song hit of the century. Mr. Charles, who doesn't appreciate the finer strains of music, requested a command performance in front of the class, so that the music lovers could admire or jeer the presentation. Mr. DeLong hid in a corner, and Mr. Bond protested under his breath, while their delighted classmates giggled and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Who threw that last spit-ball??? Sure was a dandy. What kind of talk is that to be coming from a teacher? But what a teacher! He's none other than Professor Brown, the Simon Legree of the faculty. The way he twists a class around his little finger, or vice versa, is the envy of every teacher in school. In this case, let the teacher set the example, but don't be an example of the teacher.
