ROTTINGHAUS We dedicate this. book to Joseph Rottinghaus, whose interest in the schools of North College Hill has persisted for more than thirty years. NIr. Rottinghaus, who is officially the attendance officer for the school disttict, became inter- ested in the welfare of our school from the time he heczlme A resident of this community. From 1916 to 1922 he served on the Board of Education and, 215 :L member of this body, secured the site for the Goodman Avenue school. His first experience on the board was to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Eberhardt. At the expiration of that term, he was elected for 21 full term during which Mr. Fenner was president, 111'. Fox was secretary, and KIessrs. Walton and Pugh were fellow members. After serving his term he left the board officially, but he kept in constant touch with the development of the educational services of the school district. He was one of the original members of the North College Hill Welfare board and served on the Public Affairs committee with Mr. Holmes. In 1938, NIL Rottinghnus was appointed to the position of attendance officer7 and in this capae city he has become respected and loved by the children of North College Hill for his friendly and humane understanding. He brought a new technique to the position by counciling and guiding rather than by coercion. Blany times he has aided those in need from his own resources. So to you, Joseph Rottinghaus, we, the students of North College Hill say, HWe are grateful for having been able to come under your influence,1 ADMINISTRATION Many yearbook messages from school heads could be repeated for ten years without change if the man himself changed schools annually. The bouquets they toss are well deserved, I grant you, but highly monotonous t0 the writers. Speaking briefly, I am glad that in these times of government priorities and ceiling prices our graduates are to have an annual to keep fresh their recollection of happy days. Despite added costs, the management for 1944-45 is trying to cut the cost to subscribers lower than last year, and still to represmt all activities of the school. h'Iay this yearbook therefore full Within the fie nancial reach of every home, prized and possessed by all. And may the thought and labor of 50 many pupils enter into the final product that each possessor can Claim it as an annual 0f the pupils rather than the work of the faculty: Wm. A. Cook At the end of this school year thousands of young people like yourselves will graduate from high schools throughout the country. All of you will stand at the threshold of a new world and this year a llnew world is used literally. Not only will it mean new individual adjustments but adjustments for our whole society. New social trends, highly improved methods in manufacturA ing and new developments in those objects de- signed to make our world more livable will cause Changes in our environment, The tremors re- sulting from the after shock of the tragedy that is at present shaking our world will call for the best minds, bodies, and souls this world has ever known to bring it to a restful peace. You are the folks who must furnish the wherewithal to bring about :1 brotherhood of man and a better would to live in. E. V. Thesken MR. THESKEN AND DR. COOK hsh FACULTY D-R. COOK MR.

Excited freshmen watched its huge hands as they ticked nearer the time when the doors of the school would be opened. Slowly, those hands seemed to move; and, when they reached the hour of 8:30, it was as if a new world had begun. The doors of the school were Hung open; the students pushed merrily to their home-rooms; that is, all except the freshmen, for the freshmen were lost. In all this turmoil of unfamiliar people and in an unfamiliar school, those undiscovered scholars moved shyly about hoping that some kind soul would recognize them and inform them as to where they were to lodge tor the next nine months. Those first four weeks were the most trying on that class of 1945, but all 109 of them soon became accustomed to the school and its operation, and they settled down to a year of study and enjoyment. Since every class has its executive committee, the freshmen, like their big sisters and brothers, elected their class officers. Virginia Schneider was chosen to be the president of the class; Ann Stritt- holt was her able assistant; Lela Clark kept the minutes of the meetings. twhich were very fewl; and Marian Nieporte had charge of the treasury Joyce Myers was elected to represent the freshmen class on the Student Council in that school year of 1941-42. The freshmen students participated in many varied organizations, :1 few of which were the Stamp Club, Girl Reserves, Glee Club, Better Speech Club, and the Band. hlany of the boys were accepted on the iootball and basketball teams, and they displayed, in these sports, their zrliility which was going to be recognized by all in the later years of their high school life. As for the girls, a basket- ball team was organized; but because of their lack of experience and stiff competition from the other class teams, not many games were won. The months rolled by very quickly. The freshmen gained more and more knowledge every day They had enjoyed their hrst year of high school life but, like all students, were eager for the summer vacation to begin. That year had taught those tenderfeet :1 great deal. They were now :1 part of the high school world. They began to realize the importance of :1 credit toward their graduation, which appeared to them to be far off in the future. They learned to be proud to sing,r their school song, and they learned the custom of the school to stand when the song was sung. They learned to use the correct Hight of stairs at the correct time. They learned to love the dear old school itself. Those freshmen had proven themseleves to be true freshmen, and they were now ready to advance into their sophomore year. In all the confusion and excitement of advancing from one class to the next, several of the mem- bers of the class of 1945 were lost on the way. When school resumed in ,42, only 89 students were present, including Bud lVIart and Jim Dickman, who were new members that year. The class of ,4-5 was sorry to lose twenty of its brothers and sisters; however, it plunged in the tasks ahead by selecting its board of directors. A happyugo-lucky sort of a chap by the name of Gene Ohert stepped into the oHice of president of the Class. Jim Dickman, the newcomer that year, was voted vieetpresi- dent. Fred Strittholt gathered his pencil and paper, for he was chosen secretary and treasurer. The sophomores were permitted to send two delegates to the Student Council. Dick Huffmann and Dan Costa were chosen to represent that sophomore Class. Something wonderful happened that year to the sophomore boys. They were awarded a beauti- ful plaque for having collected the greatest number of keys when a key-drive was held at N.C.Hr The members of the class of ,45 were equally as industrious as they were studious, and these two assets, working hand in hand with each other, made that sophomore class tops, said they. Elmer Glasmeier and Sylvia Tiefermann stepped into the roles of cheerleaders that year. Dur- ing three years they led the students in yells and cheers supporting the teams of the schOOl. T0 the sophomores, the junior and senior years of school were the most glamorous of all. In fact the mere thought of soon becoming juniors made those sophomores more anxious then ever to begin their next year of high school. eel 2e CLHSS In September, 1943, 74- students including two newcomers, Eunice Battling and Herman NIiller, returned to school prouder than ever before; for thev were now juniors. They had a blg year ahead of them. ' Dan Costa, CUE Juergens, Betty Ammerman, and llary Jane Cappel were elected by the class to hold the responsible offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. llargie Kiosterman, llerilyn Thomas, and Dick Hoffmann weie the junior representatives on the Student Council. One bright morning, the juniors were called from their classes to a meeting held in the gym. The juniors were always happy to be called out of class, but they were thrilled as can be when they found the purpose for that particular assembly. The purpose was none other than choosing the class ring. There were so many beautiful selections that the juniors found it quite difficult to decide on the one they Wanted most to be the symbol of their Classr However, they made a very beautiful choice, and they had to wait months for the order to be filled and for each junior to receive his ring. That was a busy year for the class of '45. In sports, the boys were fast climbing to the top. Five had already made the varsity team in basketball, and nine junior boys were active on the football team. The girls were losing in basketball as had been their custom throughout their basketball career. Preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom was most exciting The big night was to be on R'Iay 26. The orchestra had to he hired; invitations had to be addressed; programs had to be made. The Class of 51-5 was kept quite busy making plans for that festive dance. The year slipped by quickly. The class rings finally arrived, to the dazzelment 0f the juniors; the Prom had been a huge success; Pat Schmidt and Joe thers had been chosen Queen and King of the From; the examinations were just about completed. That school yea: was just about gone except for one thing, the junior picnic On June 15, the juniors came gaily to school, lunch under one arm, golf sticks under another, and hats and balls dangling along from nowhere. The boys had their cars for transportation; pop was iced in several of the trunks; cans 0t potato chips were stored away; everyone was anxious to he off. The juniors will never forget that picnic spent in Sharon Woods. It was wonderful. In September, 1944, the seniors came to school to resume their last year of high school study. Three years had gone swiftly by, and they knew that their senior year would go faster than 2111. Cliff Juergens was elected president of the senior class which now consisted of 65 students, two of whom were new that year, Harry Jackson and Steve Kleeman. h-Iarian Nieporte was the vice-prCSI- dent. Howard Rottinghaus was the secretary and treasurer. This being their last year. Those parties, or get-togethers, were a lot of fun. One main event in which the seniors were engaged was the choosing of the Class play. The title was Slightly Delirious. The seniors were quite the actors. They were convinced of this after Wine ning first prize in nStunt Night.n The seniors spent a great amount of time making plans for Commencement, Baccalaureate, and Class Day. A speaker had to be selected for the Baccalaureate; programs had to be decided upon; and musical arrangements had to be chosen. All these, the members of the Class of 515 toiled over in order that they would make their graduation a day to remember. On May 11, the seniors presented' their class play in the auditorium of the high school. The cast was perfect, and the seniors, through their united cooperation, made that play a huge success. D'Ionths passed. The basketball and football seasons had long been over. The seniors who played on those teams displayed their years of training in exhibitions which drew large crowds of appreciative fans. The senior girls amazed the school by turning out a squad that demonstrated splen- did team work. Three years of few Victories could, at last, be forgotten. The day of graduation was drawing near. The seniors. practiced and practiced in order to make that night an eventful one. Plans had been made, and saddened seniors awaited their diplomas. It took four short years to earn the opportunity of receiving those diplomas, and graduation Was now 5nished. Four years had passed-eyears that would never come again vears that contained much enjoyment and study. The members of the Class of '45 were now an alumni.

After considering all the possibili- ties as to what could have happened to the rings enroute to North College Hill, the Juniors waited patiently; then just before Christmas, the rings made a flashing appearance on every Junior hand. After blackening :1 few hundred eyes with their anxiety to have everyone view the new glittering circle of gold, the Juniors went on their undisturbed way. Now wearing this distinctive symbol, they decided to get down to business. First of all there were many ccmpromises with other organizations in securing dates for the Junior dances. Then put- ting the Junior X twhich is altogether different from any other X1 0n the dates October 21, ll'larch 2-1, and April 21, the dances were held with the complete cooperation of every Junior. On Friday, November 17, 1944-, the Juniors shared honors with the Parent-Tezlchers Association in sponsoring Stunt Night. The eveningls entertainment was brought to a climax when Herman Albach, master of ceremonies, announced that the Seniors had won first prize. The Juniors had 67 in the ClElSS and chose hlarvin Tiefermann as president, Jo Ann Fulmer 21$ vice-president; Russell Schaefer as secretary, and Ruth Dold as treasurer, With their combined ef- forts and those Of the committees appointed at the first of the school term, the Juniors can promise the Senior Class an Outstanding Junior-Senior From which is to be held on Tuesday, Nlay 29, 19-1-5. The law making body of N.C.H. is the Student Council Which consists of students only. Rep- resenting the Juniors are Jim Klatson, Leonard Wirtz, and Forest Singhoff. Jim Matson is Vice- r president and Leonard Wirtz is secretary of the Council. You may have gained the impression that the Juniors spend all their time dancing and enter- , mining themselves; on the contrary, there are many serious activities throughout the school in which the Juniors take an active part, such as Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Glee Club, and lntraihural sports. There are twenty Juniors in Girl Reserves, represented in cabinet by June Elsner as treasurer, Betty Lou Harris as secretary, and Jo Ann Fulmer as devotional chairman. In Hi-Y there are ten Juniors. The class has gone all out for sports. The girls have two class basketball teams. Ruth Feller- man and Earlene Nloninger as captains. Both teams were quite successful. The boys have Intramural teams played during Physical Education classes, so every hey partici- pates. On the varsity there are three Juniors: Leonard Wirtz, RIatVin Tietermann, and Jim hiat- son, and On the Reserves, there is Wiltz lVIacDonald. Under the capable guidance of the advisers, Miss Ross and Mr. Harrell, the Juniors strove toward becoming matured men and women of the future.

This total of 92 included 6 new members who were heartily welcomed into the class by those members so recently promoted from last years freshman class. The first class meeting of the year was called within the second 33 eek of school, for the p'ur- pose of electing class officers. Thomas Nieporte was elected as president; Donald Leopold vice- pretident, and Earl Roehm, secretar3 Htreasurer For representatives of the sophomore class to the Student Council, Donald Phillips and Oliver Kirchof were chosen. Those who attained the first semester honor roll were Herschel Bow3'er and Oliver Kirchof. As can be readily understood, the best liked periods 33 ere those spent in study halls, in which, inci- dentally, the be5t grades were made by all the students. The next step 33 as to become acquainted with the new advisers, hirs. Reeves and hit Tucker To these t330 fine leaders, the class, as a whole, would like to take this opportunity of expressing its sincere appreciat ion for the guidance given the sophomores, making a successful and memorable year. Class activities made their debut with a hay- ride held early in the first semeste1. X-Iany ambi- tious sophomores hiked to hit. Healthy and then rode to Handle Bar Ranch where a pleasant eve- ning was enjoyed, biking, dancing, and dining. The informal costume oi plaid shirts and jeans helped everyone have an extra good time. Hard work and the co-operation of the class made it possible to attain the honor of winning the second prize 0n Stunt Night for a skit 0n hillbillies entitled Sadie Hawkins, Day in North College Hill Dr HGravel Gertie D337 in Klinkerpot County. To celebrate the successful completions of examinations, an After-Exam party was held on January 27th when all relaxed and had a good time. In all these activities of the year, many of the sophomores participated and found their classmates to be good sportsmen. Speaking of sports, both boys and giils Went all out for the intramural activities offered. The girls enjoyment of basketball, baseball, volleyball and deck tennis; wihle the boys went in for football, basketball, baseball, track, and golf Each one worked hard to achieve points which would earn him a letter. As a class project a Book Club was formed in the English elases and many best-sellers and 1 educational books were donated to the studyh hall 1ibrary.i All in all the sophomme year has been crammed with excitingr and enjoyable memories, and all the students are now looking forward to next year when they will be upper classmen FRESHMAN After this yearls class of freshmen were situated and accustomed to their new nicknames, they began to start on very serious work. First on the list came the election of class oHicers. They are as follows: President, Tom Dugan; Vice- Pimesident Donald Goodwin; Secrtary'Treasurer, Jean Weiss; and Carol Calter, who was elected representative to the Student Council. The Freshmen news reporter for the Trojan Chat- ter was Jean Weiss. In October the Freshmen Book Club gave a skating party at Sefferino's Roller Rink in Wal- nut Hills. TIIS. Reeves was the chaperon. Then came the night of ghosts and gobline7 Halloween! The Freshmen gave a party to Which only Freshmen were invited: and only those who were masked were admitted Old clothes were the fad that night The girls 1n Home Economics 1 made doughnuts for the occasion, and everyone en- joyed the food prepared by these experimental cooks. lUrs Reeves and lVIrs Osbom chaperoned, 1nd lVIiss Cobb, and Mr and Mis Thesken attended and joined in the fun. A number of fresmmen h03'5 made the football and basketball teams The freshmen football boys were George Weber, Tom Bonta, Edward Kohl, Herber Anderson, Jack IVIohr, Tom Dugan, Joe Petit, Cletus Peters, Bill Schobel, Vernon Kotzbauer, and Tom lVIatson. The Freshmen bas- ketball boys were Tom NIatson, Jack NIohr, Cletus Peters, Charles Strittholt, Joe Petit, Herbert Schroek, T0111 Bonta, and George Weber. The Freshmen girls have two intramural basketball teams. Playing against teams with two and three years eXperience, these girls have had a difficult struggle. Audrey Feinthal and hiatilyn Quitter are the captains. Their teams consist of Carol Carter, Gloria Light, Dorothy Kelle3'1, Mari-' lvn Hoffmann, Frances Niaier Shirley NIcClanahan, Jean Weiss, Patty Ebersold June Clemens, Joan Dignan, Patsy Pieper, June Soliberger, Jeant RIacIntyre, Lois Stevenson P1uline Weis lVIary Ehling, Lillian Nieman, Joyce Nieman, and Anna Wagner. This year all girls were required to take home economics and the boys, industrial arts. The boys made all kinds of wooden articles which will be very useful. The home economics classes helped in the cafeteria both to prepare food for the lunches and to sell it. This project was appreciated by most of the students in school. The honor 101'! students for the Freshman class are Jean Weiss, Carol Carter, Audrey Fein- thal, Patsy Pieper$ lVIarilyn Quitter, and Gloria Light.

Busant THE TROJAN BAND The band, which is composed of students of both the Junior and Senior High School, was active during the year under the direction of Mr. Clifford Juergens Sr. The band is sponsored by the Band Parents, Association. A series of four subscription concerts was given during the year, and music was provided at the home football and basketball games as well as at various school and civic activities. The band provides an opportunity for all students having an interest in instrumental music to ac- quire and develop skill in that field. Rehearsals are held two evenings each week during the school year and additional instruction is given to beginners on Saturday mornings. The band was originally organized as a school function in 1937 under the direction of music teachers in the school. In 1944 it was organized in its present form. During the current year the development of interest in the band by both parents and students has shown a marked increase, which has been reflected in the professional character of the organizationk productions. The band is financed by the sale of associate memberships, which carry the privilege of admission to the subscription con- certs. Additional funds are raised by the sale of advertising in the concert programs and by social activities sponsored by the Association. Continued development of the band is contingent upon the support given to the Association by the people of the community and by the activity of the students in the organization. The benefits derived by the students participating in this activity are many. Participation in the band provides a means of Obtaining musical skill and knowledge With a minimum of difficulty as well as providing a means of serving the interests of the school in an important extra-Curricular activity.

Supplies of paper, Film, metal for engravings and other essential materials used in the production of an annual were lacking entirelv or were available in only limited quantities. All this resulted in a condensed book. i The staff was organized with Bob. Lockwood as editor and Howard Rottinghaus as business manager and associate editor. So many students Were employed after school that it was difficult to maintain an efficient working force. Editorial adVisors were lliss Cobb and 111's. Roach; the busi- ness advlicsor was h'Ir. Thesken. Their great and needed help guided the staff in the publication of this boo . An important part of the production of the book was raising the necessary money to pay the bills for printing, engraving, and binding which amounted to about four hundred dollars for this book. To raise this money, the staff sponsored dances and a minstrel, They also sold candy, pop, and sandwiches at the football games. A great amount of credit must go to Howard Rottinghaus for his faithful effort to keep the staff together. Without his loyalty to the cause of a yearbook, you readers would not be enjoying this record of your school year. Bob. Lockwood. TROJAN CHATTER A school paper is about the most natural thing there is, the most typically teenvage. For in this publication is found all the udirt',g the school's athletic achievements, almost any kind of crazy column and even some serious thoughts hy the principal and superintendent. In other words, a school paper should be a combination of all thingsh-serious, funny, newsy, and entertaining. That is What this years Trojan Chatter Staff has tried to make the paper to be. The staff, selected by l'Iiss Ross, decided to have a monthly issue of the Chatter. That was eas- ier said than done, but throughout the year, the paper came out almost on schedule The date would be set for the sale of the paper. The associate editor, Carl Weis, and Jean Jester, editor, reminded everyone that his column was due. The reporters would smile and ask why the editors were getting so worked up. Leaving Carl to talk to them, the editor would hurry away to find Helen Elberg, the art editor, to learn her ideas for the cover and for illustrations. Then the search for the advertising managers, Jim l-Iatson and Forest Singhoff, to remind them about the ads would start. By this time, Dr. Cook was asked if held write an article for the paper. Then lVTr. Thesken was asked for his article and news Of the men in service. After Carl reported that the news editor, R'Iike Risola had gone to the Junior High about some news and June Elsner, the assistant editor, was beginning to write her hit, everything would ride for a week or so. Beginning about a week before the date of issue, everyone really worked. The Junior High news, Ruth Doldls fashion column, Kotsy Wirtzls sports news, Jane Burbaeherls HGuess WhoH and Pat Erbs, RAround the Clock , would he turned in While news was still being collected of Girl Reserve by Elaine Sehlewinsky and Audrey Wagner, and Hi-Y by Jim h'Ieyer, the stenciling Was begun. Now the mimeographing. At this point Lillian Harris and' Nlae Kitchof, with the help of Carl, ran off stencils as fast as they were finished. ' The business manager, Herman Alhaeh, worried over the amount of money spent, and Tony Arszman publicized the forthcoming issue. Now the paper was ready for sale. Howard Ankenbauer and Betty llichels, sales managers, would contact their list of HSCllEFS and the Trojan Chatter was distributed among the students. At this point, Shirley Glisson, the exchange editor, sent out the Chatter to other schools. Nlariy students proudly report the paper as good as any of those received in return. These were the monthly activities. Each isaue of the paper brought a modest profit which, when added to the profits fwm other years, Will Some day buy a printing pl'CSS for the school. So, looking back on eight months of publication; each staff member feels he has done his best. He has tried to give the teachers and students What they desired in a school paper. That's the way of the Trojan Chatter. Jean Jestezx igle HI-Y and GIRL RESERVES First Row, Left to Right: L. Wirtz, W. XVil'tz, L Brooks, J. Maison, F. Singhoff, M. Tiet'ermann. Setond Row: R.

This club is just one small clubi out of 7,000 scattered all over the United States; these developed from one club 50 years ago. Many boys now fighting for their country were formerly Hi-Y boysi Hi-Y instructs boys for leadership, ahd also gives them the opportunity to be with other boys and make new friends. A boy, after having Hi-Y experience, knows that it is a worth-while organization. He has learned the purpose of the Hi-Y that every boy must know before becoming a member, This purpose is ut0 create, mamtaln and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian char- acter . Even though he may not show these ideals; nevertheless, he believes in them. There is one other thing that a Hi-Y boy lives by, and that is the slogan of clean speech, clean sports, clean schol- arship and clean living . If a boy, regardless of race, color or creed, wishes to become a member, he should and could as long as he believes in the purpose and slogan. Last spring the present officers were elected and ML Harrell, the adviser, met with them to discuss their responsibilities. The executive board and lX'Ir. Harrell planned a program for the year. We planned the program to January, 1945. Every month planned for some stag or coed activities, discussions, speakers, or projects which would benefit the community. As soon as school started the club representative went to see Mr. Theskeny the principal, to get a date for our first dance. It has been a custom of the club to try to get the first dance of year. The dance was held September 23, with music by Johnny Bennett and his orchestra. It was a great success. Keeping in line with our program, the social committee planned a hayrride. The night was cold but all that were present had fun. In early October all the members went to town to see a show for the stag activity of the month. During the course of the year, the adviser, Mr. Harrell, surprised everyone by taking the danger- ous and exciting step into matrimony. The boys of the club gave him and his wife a chenille bed spread. In November, ten new boys were received into membership to fill the shoes of seniors who had graduated. This was one of the largest numbers of boys taken in at any one time. The initiation was one of great effect. Planned by the members of the club, it brought great meaning to the new fellows Throughout the year, Hi-Y has aimed to stress the formal meaning of initiation. 'Members have tried to develop a Hi-Y library. The members of the Hi-Y and the adviser, lr'lr. Harrell, would like to express sincere congratue lations to the Seniors of 1945. Richard Hoffmann GIRL RESERVES Girl Reserves, :1 club for girls who are interested in the fellowship that comes from working with girls, is sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. The aim of Girl Reserves is to develop leadership and to help girls grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. In September the Girl Reserve officers made plans for a picnic for all high school girls who were interested in joining the club. Later the girls presented :1 Recognition Service held at the Rlethodist Church. Each girl learned the purpose, aim, code, and agreed to work faithfully with her friends. Meetings were presided over by Merilyn Thomas, president, and Sylvia Tiefermann, vice-presi- dent. The secretary, Betty Lou Harris, kept a record of the meetings and the attendance. The task of collecting dues, maintaining an income, and paying the bills was done by June Elsner, treasurer. To keep the club in tune, Joyce Friek was chosen song leader. The social chairmen, Patricia Schmidt and Vivian Liebig, planned social events. Spring events included the Prom and a picnic when new officers were installed. For spiritual development, a devotional program was planned under the direction of Jo Ann Fullmer, devotional chairman, for each meeting and in commemoration of Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, and Easter. 7 A Christmas project was planned by Jean Bauer, service chairman. At an assembly, Jean presented the plans for the drive to collect money for the children at the Hillcrest-Glenview Schools. Thg physical side of the Girl Reserve triangle was supervised by Lois Oser, chairman of the N,C,H. Club. She kept the records for points earned by the girls in intramural sports. This year N.C.H. Girl Reserves worked to earn a ring. Each girl must have a physical exam- ination, attend monthly forums, keep a record Of the forums, and have three interviews with lVIiss Brown, the 0Y0 secretary. The girls feel that this work made them more tolerant and open minded. The successful money making projects included the established HHot DogH sale, dances, and con- cessions sold at the Minstrel. Ruth Wiengartner was chairman of the sale of sandwiches. To observe Girl Reserve Week, the Cabinet, aided by Mrs. Roach, planned a program for an assembly. The N.C.H. Girl Reserves invited the West College Hill Girl Reserves to participate in the program. Mr. Millard, from the Adult Education Council, spoke on HThe Problems of Youth. The club membership was large; to meet the interests of all, varied activities were planned so that each girl made new friends, learned the meaning of service, developed mentally, physically, and spirit- ually, and came to think of herself third, putting God first and others second.

In addition to this, a new touch was added by the light blue neckerchiefs, bearing a blue and White Girl Reserve insignia in the center of the triangle. The program consisted of the Processional, National Anthem, Twenty-Third Psalm, The Lordls Prayer, the hieaning of Girl Reserves, an Instrumental Solo, Litany, and nGod Of Our Fathers, followed by the introduction of the speaker by lVIrs. L. Lovelace. The speaker was Mrsr C. L. Wooten. HCome Thou Almighty King by the choir, remarks by Rev. E. Jones, the Girl Reserve Quest and Pledge, followed by the Recessional, completed the program. The City-Wide Recognition Service with all the Negro girls in Cincinnati was held November 26, 1944, at the St John Church. There were approximately five hundred girls who participated in the service. In October three girls, Annie Ruth Jones, Jane Grant, and lMamie Leslie, were chosen as rep- resentatives to the Fall Setting-Up Conference held at Camp Lenmary at New Trenton, Indiana. There the girls met other Girl Reserves and received new ideas to use in the club. The project for World Service was a HDog Dinner,,. The Dog Dinner consisted of weiner sandwiches and cokes served by the girls. There were several other socials given for World Service. On Monday, lWarch 5, 194-5, the girls took part in the joint Girl Reserve program presented at the high school assembly. One of the most enjoyable projects for all girls Was the purchasing of cashmere sweaters. The Girl Reserve Prom was another affair enjoyed by all the girls.

They were the girlS glee club7 that met on Wednesday after school, and the mixed group, that met on Friday. Under the direction of hits. Shoenberger, the group accom- plished many things in the music held this year. The First program to be given by the Glee Club was a program of Christmas music which was given for the P. T. At and then repeated for :1 combined assembly of Junior and Senior High School Students. Our biggest accomplishment was the NIinstrel. Rehearsals began in February. There were try-outs for 50105, triost and other special groups. Then of course there were others Who were not in the Glee Club, who wished to sing with the chorus, This made our chorus even larger than was expected, and in all there were seventy members to sing the songs in the show, besides many who sang solos and other special acts. The last week before the hIinstrel was one jumble of rehearsals, costumes, special practices of soloists and Others. Then on Friday, hhrch 16, the big event of the year arrived, and the Alinstrel was presented by the entire group. There was one performance Flt 9:30 At NI. and another at 8:00 P. :M. According to those pres- ent, the A-Iinstrel was a great success. The last two performances of the year were at Commencement and Baccalaureate Service, The graduation of the Seniors meant that many voices were out of the Glee Club, but with another group coming in, the group might become even larger next year and in the future. Merilyn Thomas e25- STUDENT COUNCIL As the school year got under way, tlte members to Student Council were elected by the various classes. According to custom four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman were elected. At the first meeting it was decided to have er. Thesken as the adviser, Although he is tied up with many affairs he graciously accepted. . The first thing done in the way of governing the school was to lay down some rules whiCh had to be carried out. The members of Student Council were to be stationed in the halls to make sure the rules were carried out. It is the goal of Council every year to raise one hundred and fifty dollars which is given in the form of scholarships to the two highest seniorsr In order to raise the money a paper drive and two Wafter the game dances were given. A boat ride is being promoted on April 13. If the goal 0f one hundred and fifty dollars is passed, the money will be added to the original goal. In the earlier part Of the Year 11 hDr- You Stink, show which followed the same pattern as hDr. I. Q.,, was given in the interest of the War Chest, not for the purpose of raising money, but merely to publicize the importance and the greatness of the War Chest. All the members of the Council participated, plus two other students, Merilyn Thomas and Blnrjorie Klostermzm, who were former members of the Council, In order to get new ideas and to see how other school are operated it was decided to visit other schools. The Council was divided into three groups. One group went to Hartwell, another to Wyo- ming, and the other to St. Bernard. New things which may be able to he used in future years were learned. North College Hill has been Visited by the Student Councils of Loekland and St. Bernard. Richard Hoffmzmn Sitting, Left to Right: L. Wirtz, R. Hoffmann, Jr Matson, J. Bogen, F. Singhoff, D.

VARSITY and RESERVE VARSITY With the close of football season, the Trojan Quintet began basketball practiCe in the early Deceme her days, Soon after a hasty practice, they encountered Colerain 0n the Trojans floor; and, although the team showed forthcoming talent, North College Hill lost 22-14. Mt. Healthy, one of the most heated rivals, continued their losing streak by defeating the team 29-22 in a thrill packed game. Deer Park was next to venture into North College Hillls territory and We won the first league game 3347. Reading's Blue Devils hastily snapped the Winning streak by handing the Trojans a 39-27 defeat, although it was a well played game. Closing the home stay, the team ventured into the valley and there received its worst drubbing of the year by St. Bernard. When the frolic for St. Bernard ended, North College Hill stood on the short end of a 39-13 score. Oxford McGuffey, revenging its defeat in football, came from upper Ohio to score 23 points against our team,s 20. The Trojans seemingly receiving all the bad breaks instead of the good, yet still trying, once more played lUt. Healthy. This game was packed with thrills for both sides, but Mt. Healthy received the biggest by winning 36-32. Locklandis Panthers, sensing a Win, came up the hill and were not disappointed, for the score was tied at the end of the game. The two teams merged into an over- time, and Lockland came out victorious 35-33. On the preceding Friday, the quintet engaged Hartwell and once more was victorious 43-24. Following this, two more games of the Trojans proved wins. They defeated Wyoming 31-24 and Deer Park 55-37. After a three game winning streak they were beaten once more by Reading 3130. Colerain then fell before the Trojansi onslaught of 4-2-26, and then the Trojans revenged their earlier defeat by defeating St. Bernard 29-28. Roger Bacon soon spilled the wind from the Trojansl sails by defeating them 4-1-36, but Hartwell soon gave them a chance for victory, and the Trojans coasted through with a 32-12 score. At the end of the season the Basketball Tournament came. The Trojans played in the Class A division at the University of Cincinnati. The first game was played With Elder and was lost 39-23, closing the season of 44-45 with 8 games Won and 10 lost. RESERVE The first practice of the season showed a fine return of players from last year's team and a quantity of freshman players. With an excess of players and talent at the start of the season, ineligi- bilities soon threw a gloom over the rosey future. Like the varsity, the Reserves had little practice before the first game and lost to Colerain. After this poor start, they trounced Mt. Healthy and later in the season, repeated this performance. With eleven league games to playJ the team experienced some tough breaks, and the standing showed four wins against seven losses. In the league play, the team lost some very close games; and if the breaks had been With them on some occasions, the final standing would have been different. Unlike the Varsity, the Reserves played only sixteen games, and won nine of the sixteen. Though the team did not win a greater percentage of its games, the players were never defeated by giving up. Instead they played a high type of basketball until the last second. SCORES BASKETBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL RESERVES NCH THEM NCH THEM 14- Colerain 22 10 Colerain 14' 22 Mt. Healthy 29 2-1 111:.
