Fifty years later, we find this book, not only a memorial to the initiative and drive of the class of 1900, but also a storehouse of infor- mation about our elders.

Coached by Bill Cham- bers, Oberlin High School battled its way to the state championship in 1899 in foot- ball. Dr e s s e d in turtle-neck sweaters, with no helmets to protect their pates, the team played a he-man game. With L. VV. Cheney as cap- tain and E. Davis as manager, the team played ten games in the fall of 1899, being de- feated only in the season's opener against the University School in Cleveland. EFORE 1900, Oberlin High School had no year book. The first annual carried the following introduction: For the first time an Annual has made its appearance in the Oberlin High School. It is hoped that through it may be shown a new phase of our school life, that will recall to the mind of the reader the numerous pleasantries and humorous incidents of the year, and at the same time show work of a more solid character. That it will serve to make us better acquainted with one an- other, and in the future enable us to recall with more vivid- ness and pleasure the incidents of our High School life. Thanking all who have assisted us in the undertaking, we present you, kind reader, the first edition of the Oberlin High School Annual. DEDICATION To WILLIAM C. BOHRER, for twenty-three years a friend and teacher of Oberlin High School students, we dedicate this Hftieth anniversary annual. As head of the history department, he has taught world history, civics, and American history, and acted as critic teacher. Mr. Bohrer's apt comments upon the sundry details of life, his sharp enthusiasm for history and its relationship to the modern world, and his alert interest in current events sound the keynote in citizenship for us. Kept on the anxious bench by his dry Wit, students attend his classes expecting anything from extempo- raneous reports to a test or a lecture on the state of the union.

Ofiicers of this club were chosen accord- ing to their ability to sleep, the president being the most proficient. As there are always girls of two ex- tremes in height in every class, in 1900 the Lengthy Club was formed to em- brace these people. When they elected oflicers, there was a lively contest to see whether the longs or the shorts would gain control of the presidency. A group of rugged individuals also banded together in the 'KDude Club. Being anything but dudes, the fellows managed to arrive at school dressed in the opposite of fashion, giving off faint aromas of the great out-doors. flax Qi 1 my ri, fl , . - .

Depression babies, the seniorclass is graduating into a world of strikes, spy hunts, atom and hydrogen bombs, and a growing cold War between totalitarian and democratic forces that are spreading over the world. Beneath the untroubled exterior of Oberlin With its bicycles and its atmosphere of quiet absorption in the abstract, are the effects of a sick World, and the high school student ponders on these problems and their results on his life. , e 1 We hope you will enjoy this anniversary annual. hm...

S. for the first session of school this year. Mrs. Marian Simpson, Miss Kathryn Witbeck, Mr. Richard Hathaway, and Mr. Vern Bogardus, who later resigned and was replaced by Mr. Charles Bedell, were on hand to start their duties as new teach- ers in O. H. S. Mr. Donald Simpson, as principal, has filled the vacancy left by Mr. Alter. The high school has taken on the atmosphere of a consolidated country school with the addition of two fifth grades in the portable behind the art building and two sixth grades in the main build- ing.

Ober- lin went wild as the football team pushed a fa- vored Fairview team to defeat, 38 to 18, tonight. After the previous year in which the team won only one game, the effect on the student body was electric. Every person oozed school spirit. PLEASANT STREET SCHOOL, OCT. 14 - AP - For the first time in over twenty years, the high school had a school-sponsored dance after a game. Under the guidance of the senate and with the sanction of the school board, these dances will be held after games in the fumre. From the re- sponse of the student body, it is cleat that these dances will be a great success. OBERLIN, OCT. 28 - AP -- This evening the seniors had their annual hayride, picnic, and dance. At the appointed time, the mob boarded two wagons covered with hay and set out for the Manns' farm on Oberlin Road. A great quantity of sloppy Joes, donuts, and other food was devoured by the seniors while sitting on benches around a roaring fire. Then the wagons pro- ceeded on the trip. A forced halt was ordered by the County Sheriff to fix the tail-lights which had gone out. By degrees the wagons made their way to the high school where a dance and movies were soon in progress. At length tired seniors trudged home. OBERLIN, NOV. 4 - AP - Tonight the mighty Oberlin Indians went down to a 6 to 0 defeat at the hands of old man winter on a sloppy field of 4 of clammy mud topped by 4 of snow. The brightly uniformed teams soon melted into mud-covered blobs. O. H. S. AUDITORIUM, DEC. 5 - AP -- The 1950 Golden Anniversary Annual was launched with a variety show this morning, fea- turing acts from both the past and present. For more details see page 58.

With Mel Harder, coach of the Cleveland Indians and former baseball star, as one attraction and swiss steak as the other, the boys were well satis- fied. Letter winners were announced by Coach Robinson after the dinner. JAMES BRAND HOUSE, DEC. 2.2 - AP - One of the high spots on the year's social season, the Fine Arts semi-formal was held tonight in the James Brand House, tastefully decorated with pine, holly, and mistletoe. Since Hi-Y has been disbanded, the dance was sponsored solely by the Fine Arts. PLEASANT STREET SCHOOL, JAN. 14 - AP - The recently formed high school dance band made its debut tonight, playing for the after-game dance. Made up of Martha Lawall, Daniel Clark, Dick Fowler, Dick Kimmey, Hans Stechow, Barbara Bedell, Alvin Norris, Pat Merle, Jack Barnard, Larry Weaver, Ann Kepler, Bob Champion, Fred Russell, the vocalist, and Mr. Weldon, the director and pianist, the band is the hit of the year.

The Junior-Senior Prom PROM QUEEN AND COURT Leftjo Right: Nancy Spaulding, Arlene Hurst, Queen Carolyn Courr, Alice Jean Murray, Stephanie Johnson. The 1949 junior-Senior prom was held on April 9 in the high school gymnasium. Taking a summer night as their theme, the juniors decorated the gym with spar- kling stars suspended above the dance floor. One end of the gymnasium held a wishing well in a garden with crepe paper flowers flourishing on a white fence. Soft music by the Stardusters completed the enchantment.

Originally, the building had a great bell tower, but in 1940 it was torn down. In 1923 high school classes were moved from the old building to the new one on North Main Street. Two years later, Mr. Wfestervelt bought the buildingg and in 1927, the college began using it as a class room building, under the name Vlestervelt Hall. The 1900 annual was dedicated to the superintendent of schools, George White Waite. Mr. Waite was superintendent from 1882 to 1900 when he retired. 1 l DMINISTRATIQ SUPERINTENDENT C. E.

S Ten Million Bicycles According to the World Almanac in 1940, i'The village of Ober- lin, situated in Lorain County, Ohio, U. S. A., has more bicycles per capita than any other place on the earth. Any person who has ever seen Chapel Plaza during required chapel will verify these facts. The plaza is a mass of basket, frames, and wheels, a giant cob-web of steel. The handle bars rear up out of this maze like horns of cattle. The streets of Oberlin are full of people peddling to some destina- tion. Bicycles prove a major problem to motorists trying to navigate the choked streets. The endless assortment of people and bicycles on the streets completely floors visitors. Where else can one see a woman of eighty or so, riding along beside a little boy of three? The first skill an Oberlin boy or girl masters after learning to walk and talk is to ride a bicycle. There are all models of bikes on the streets of Oberlin, everything from a sleek English sports model to an old, dumpy, fenderless crate of the high school student. -BOB FAILS.

The publishing of the Annual, financially, is the largest project un- dertaken by a student group. As a business, its budget calls for more than 351,800 When told these facts, the seniors who had offered their talents were astounded but felt that here was a responsibility into which they could pour their energy and get a taste of adult life. Guided and encouraged by Mrs. Hannon, the complicated network of Annual Staff and planning board worked on the details of layout, pictures, identification, and writing. Learning the tricks of the pub- lishing trade through experience, Ronny Wahi, as managing editor, welded these details into a coherent whole. Our art committee, under the supervision of Mrs. Simpson, had their problems cut out for them since they had to imitate the quaint drawing of the 1900 Annual as well as do modern artwork. The financing of the Annual was handled by David Gamble and jon Simpson, business co-managers, and their committee, who sold the Annual to students and went out in teams of two to sell ads to mer- chants in Oberlin and neighboring towns. It is interesting to note that two of the ads appearing in this annual were also in the 1900 annual.

FINE ARTS CLUB The Fine Arts Club, with only eighteen mem- bers, was quite small this year, nevertheless, the girls had a full program of activities under the capable supervision of Miss Grills and Miss Schramm. After the informal initiation at the Manns' farm, the candlelight ceremony at the fol- lowing meeting sealed the tryst of friendship, courtesy, and Christian fellowship, showing the true significance of the club. What traditionally had been the Fine Arts- Hi-Y Christmas formal, was given by the Fine Arts Club alone this year, as there was no Hi-Y. Everyone who went will remember what a beau- tiful setting the james Brand House made, decked out with holly and a huge Christmas tree. SENIO Row I Cleft to rightbz MARIAN ALLEN ....

Speakers, concerts, a Mother-Daughter Tea, and a White Elephant Sale were the out- standing attractions of the year. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club with Joanne White as president and Mrs. Stella Koenitzer as adviser, has discussed home problems and personal groom- ing at many of the meetings this year. As indi- vidual projects, each girl has made a shoe bag and begun knitting. The club members also made curtains for the home economics rooms. Their social program consisted of a hay-ride in the fall, a sock dance in the spring, and at the end of the school season a mother-daughter banquet. PLAY What a Life cAsT OF CHARACTERS --- ....

That was the year when the very first O. H. S. Annual into being burst. The high school then was Westervelt Hall, But all the students were on the ball. They worked, they played, they studied hard, But never laid a hand on drink or card. How would you like to see that day? Stick around and hear what I say. For that was the time when an ankle trim Peeping out, filled eyes to the brim! And modes of travel were not the best, But left the student little time to rest. The dances were stiff and well attended, But the girls wore dresses that never ended. We shall now unfold before your wondering eyes, Scenes typical of these gals and guys. Behold, a student on his charging steed The call of learning about to heed. At this point, Dick Weaver, mounted on a rickety bicycle, rode up the right aisle of the auditorium followed by a sedate group of students dressed in old-fashioned clothes. Ronald Heilman shot up the left aisle on his motor bike with modern students shoving and shouting after him. Bob continued: For many a student, the tardy bell Has been nothing else but a low death knell, But an assembly here, is now on tapg So teacher, dear, give the bell a rap. The principals will, in a very short while Announce the performers, they'll give you a smile. We have music, announcements, and lots of art So with these words, I will depart. Glimpses of the old and new in school life began with as- semblies, included football and girls' basketball, and concluded with dancing. Top: David Gamble. Second: Bob Fails, Fred Owens.

The cli- max was a victory over Rocky River which knocked the Pirates out of first place. The regular season ended with a record of eight victories against seven losses. The Indians were captained this year by senior, Don Linden. The Sectional Tournament found Oberlin pitted against a strong Eaton quintet who were County Champs. The Brown Bombers proved to be the better team that night, leaving the Indians on the short count and ending their chances for further tournament competition.

The season opened with a loss to Ashland, 77 to 41, and a second in a triangular meet with Berea and Maple Heights. In the Clearview Relays our thinclads made a good showing, gaining a second in a field of six schools. The next week our team placed second in a triangular meet with Berea and Clearview. Our tracksters finished a good fifth in the Southwestern League meet. Senior Bob Thompson was able to place second in the State Meet in Columbus to end the season. With seven lettermen, this year's track team should be one of the top threats for the conference title.

A planning board made up of the best athletes mapped out the activities. Field hockey began in September, and the senior class team won the plaque. The Red and Blue teams fought through sleet and snow in late October only to come to a tie decision because of the weather. In volleyball the sophomores carried off the class honors while the Reds won the Red and Blue game by a close margin. Basketball began early in February, and in Spring baseball started. Socially the G. A. A. has had a full schedule. An October hayride, a Christmas party that Santa Claus thought too good to miss, and a Cherry Hop were main events. The G. A. A. banquet at which awards were given and the new year's ollicers announced, brought the year to a close.

C., on a sight seeing trip in the early summer of 1946. This trip had been arranged by the school to provide a special group of boys with first-hand knowledge of our demo- cratic government and how it operates. The three cars rolled across the state down to the nation's capital. We pulled in shortly after sundown and were amazed at the glaring, white illumination of the beautiful city at night. We were directed to a lonesome tourist camp where our tired group rested in nocturnal peace. I can still remember the sweet freshness of air, next morning, and how wonderful it was to be in Washington. I felt glad to be an American. We saw, as we rode through the city, the fine, white buildings, the important-looking people hurrying to work, and the stars and stripes waving high above. I felt more patriotic than everg but my emotions changed when our cars stopped at a modern restaurant. We all piled out and eagerly trudged inside for breakfast. The restaurant was so crowded that we were obliged to stand in line behind a rope fence. The air, saturated with noise and smoke and tantalizing breakfast odors, floated out to tease our nostrils. As we were anxiously waiting for vacant tables, a business-like waiter guiltily approached our principal and announced, We don't cater to col- ored people here! Principal Felton quickly ex- plained that I was a member of his touring group from Ohio. The waiter's eyes slid over to me and then back to the principal. 'Tm sorry, Mistah. He'll hafta eat out there, chirped the waiter pointing to the kitchen. There's colored out there. They'll treat him fine. I'll never forget that moment. The noise had ceased, and everybody had his eyes glued on me, except the waiter who' turned his back and walked away. There was seemingly an eternity of deep, penetrating silence. A wave of terror, humility, and embarrassment seized me. It was then, as I walked shakily through the aisles, that I became fully aware of my color, how differ- ent I was from everybody else in the crowded dining room. The silence was like a huge bell, striking and clanging and jarring me, until the noise slowly started up again, and I stepped into the kitchen, trying to keep the tears back from my clouded eyes. - ALVIN BROWN Oberlin College taker pleasure in presenting tlzir page to the 1950 Golden Annivermry Annual. l75l THIS BRINGS TO A CLOSE . . aaa Qafcfen 14 ' B001 .... We hope that you have enjoyed the story of Oberlin High School in nineteen fifty as told by the pictures and comments in this anniversary annual. We have also tried to take you back fifty years for a glimpse of school life in that period. Many changes have taken place since Mr. Waite paced the corridors of Westervelt Hall. Several principals, to say nothing of many teachers and hundreds of students, have come and gone. Fifty senior classes have claimed that their annual surpassed all those of preceding years. We would be willing to bet that in the year 2,000 the senior class will say that it is publishing the best O-High of all times. Few people realize the work that is necessary in pub- lishing a yearbook. We therefore would like to express our deepest appreciation: to Mr. Ted Wahl of the Cleve- land Engraving Company for invaluable help on our lay- outg to Mr. Andrew Stofan for his patience in making our picturesg to Mr. Charles Mosher for his timely advice and fine printing job, and to our many advertisers for their gracious support. -RONALD WALN, Editor Me 0-HIGH ANNUAL Sidi! ......1 - H Q ' X ' Q, I-:iw ' 'VYX fx Ei :Eg li as 33535 i'Tl U i ' ,mx ZW K ESB' w,Wf 'f z 1m f xmswx- Lx X 4 V Z4 gfzggwvg XF .
