Oil City High School - Oil Can Yearbook (Oil City, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 164 of the 1943 volume:

I iff :flu I I E283 LLUESLRHS' Guiding the destinies of this year's Oil Can was a capable group of editors, business managers, photographers, and artists who were ren- dered invaluable and timely assistance by our class adviser, Mr. Russell Buckham. Supervising the actual formation of our year book was Editor-in- Chief Max Gabreski, staunchly supported by his able assistants, Avonell Shaffer and Robert Maziar. Business Manager Walter Boyer, and assistant, Barbara Buckham, utilized their innate salesmanship to good advantage in the advertising department. Snapping pictures here, there, and everywhere were Chief Photographer Ralph Spiker and his two side-kicks, Mel Hafer and Harry Chacona. The art classes of Mr. James Townley, featuring Mary Maier and Clifford Mott, added immensely to the appearance of our annual with adroit enclosures of artwork. This conglomeration of manpower and womanpower aided and abetted no end by the Literary and Business Staffs, toiled devotedly during the past year to assemble the Oil Can of 1943. The pages that follow bear the fruits of their labors. THE STAFF' T.

Their willingness to en- ter the various branches of the armed forces, to assist in producing essential war materials, and to promote morale- boosting projects on the home front, will aid immensely in speeding the day of victory. While jeopardizing their own lives, they have unselfishly co-operated in the war program, striving determinedly for a common goal-victory and a lasting peace. With such fiery young men and women giving their all, Old Glory will most certainly surmount the struggle unscathed and once more wave unfurled in a world of peace and happiness. Dedication In recognition of his unfailing service and staunch sup- port, and in acknowledgement of his shrewd judgment and unerring foresight, we hereby dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Russell Buckham, our class adviser.

Herein are pictured our fellow class- men-leaders of tomorrow, upon whom rests the task of re- building our war-torn world-citizens of the future who have, at least in part, been fitted for this role by their work at Senior. We, the Oil Can staff, know that this yearbook, the product of our combined efforts, will remain, to every mem- ber of our class, a prized and cherished possession. 53323-wV QL, . fff?Mfff'i1V--I- 1 V V A V VV - VVVVM- , fsigV-,,- V V ,W .V::m:,gV:g-mf,',,s- f, V V V V,,LV.:AV- :ff.,V,w:- -V V-5VgV,ws.Qwiw-SVQVVV,V,w-aV1,,v , V V :V- V V VV .5 .M V V ,V V- K V V! fame. - Q 'Y bu J Maw fee: nm k a- - V 139, V1f.g,: KV . , A V , V V V . .W Q V x Q V i.

It has been said that a man who is held in high esteem by his friends is seldom audibly laudedg but we, as spokesmen for the entire student body, are unanimously extending our warmest and most sincere thanks to Mr. R. C. Thompson for having given his friendship and! counsel to us and to the students of former years. His unfailing sense of fair play has assured him of making friends of the students with whom he has dealt and his sense of humor has lightened many a situation. He has proved himself not only an able principal but a fine scholar and teacher as well. After graduating from our high school in 1899 he continued his education at Cornell and the University of Paris. In 1907 he became a teacher of French and German in our Alma Mater and has served in the capacity of principal since 1922. Besides the guidance he has contributed to us all, Mr. Thompson has proved himself the most loyal supporter of our athletic activities and musical events, making a name for himself as a critic in both of these fields. His popularity extends not only through our school but through the entire community. Even though we, as students, are going to lose in Mr. Thompson a teacher and a guide, we are proud to say that we as members of the community may join the group who will retain him always as a friend. Principal R. C. THOMPSUN NOW TIIEN ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS CARL H. TOWNSEN FACULTY IN SERVICE L. T0 R.-Oscar Collins. Albert Foster, Fleming Smith. Serving with the United States Armed Forces are three of Senior High's teachers. They gave up the security of a home and friends to give their all to a victorious end as those who are left behind are doing, each in his own way. SOCIAL SCIENCE L. T0 R.-Katherine Cribbs, Ethel Cubbon, Henrietta Leyda, Martha Morrow. History is invaluable to all students since now, more than ever, it affects our everyday life. We owe a large debt of gratitude to Senior's history teachers for thoroughly reviewing past history and' keeping all their classes well-informed on current events. n LANGUAGE w Y g l FIRST ROW CL. T0 RJ-Beryl Eddy, F. LaMonte Lewis, Helen Mackenzie. SECOND ROW CL. T0 RJ-Jean Mackenzie, Rose Meditz, Margaret Nelson. THIRD ROW CL. TO RJ-Audine Stanley, Florence Stevens, Dorothy Vorhis. As languages are of great importance in all vocations, Oil City is fortunate in having a capable staff of language teachers whose kind consideration has won the hearts of all their students. Now, more than ever, when the accelerated pace of living demands precise speech with a purpose, the teachers are doing their part in educating the students to acquire these qualities. - VOCATIONAL FIRST ROW CL. TO RJ-Vance D. Brown, Russell R. Buckham, David E. Faust. SECOND ROW CL. TO RJ-George P. Karle, Mike W. Knerr, George E. Lewis. THIRD ROW CL. TO RJ-George F. McAlevy, Martin H. Mills, Edward N. Roberts Answering the great demand for inspectors, mechanics, and other skilled workmen are Senior High's several well-equipped shops func- tioning under the able direction of the vocational instructors. In these shops, students can learn a useful trade and learn it well, because they are receiving the best training possible. These shops have contributed not only to the advancement of the day school curriculum, but to the National Defense Program as well. MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE FIRST ROW CL. T0 RJ--Herbert C. Coleman, John J. Connors, Esther Duink, Mary Harlan. SECOND ROW CL. T0 RJ-J. Francis Houtz. Dana M. Pringle. Ott N. Skinner. RUSSOH K. Ward Serving as a guiding light for future Einsteins are Senior's mathe- matics and science instructors. Devoting their entire time and energy to the students, their fine work has not gone unappreciated. ATHLETICS L. TO R.-Eva Bartlett, Joseph E. Macalka, Wesley R. Travis, Hud L. Wells. Coaching numerous sports and teaching a Physical Education course during school, Senior High's athletic instructors deserve much credit for promoting a varied sports program through the year and interesting indoor sports during school hours. ART, MUSIC, LIBRARY FIRST ROW CL. TO RJ-Audrey Bloomquist. Victoria Davis, Eleanor Hoy, Vera Lamey. SECOND ROW CL. TO RJ-Harland C. Mitchell. Hazel Orcutt. Philip Runzo. James D. Townley Oil City's fine reputation in the field of music and art can be ac- credited to the outstanding ability of its Music and Art Departments and the encouragement and willing cooperation these teachers give their students. Our library, the so-called storehouse of knowledge , ably facilitates the student body throughout the course of the school year, to maintain its splendid record of service at Oil City High. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT L. TO R.-Thomas M. Nelson, Edith Pinney. Robert E. Schoch, Carl H. Townsend. The ease with which graduates of the Commercial classes of Senior High secure jobs testifies to the expert guidance given them by their instructors in order to prepare them, in the best way possible, for a future in the business world. SUBSTITUTES I.. T0 R.-Warren J. Anna, Audrey Milspaw, Margaret Reid, Rebecca Skinner. The capable substitute teachers at Senior High this year have con- tributed largely to the success of the various departments.. In direct response to the shortage of teachers, they have come out of retirement to carry on the work left behind by those who have been directly or indirectly called to the colors. NEXT ?

Yes, Patty Coogan, Honey Kerr, Laura Myers, Ruthie Tucker, Joan Baker, and Bill Sharp have done more than their share to make our football and basketball games the memorable events they were. Under the able coaching of Mrs. Leslie Bartlett, these six have really deserved the high praise and apprecia- tion they have received from the entire school.

The totals for the overall season show the Oilers to have won 14 contests while dropping 5, an impressive record which constitutes an- other successful coaching effort for head mentor, H. L. Hud Wells. Coach Wells' effective utilization of his team's resources played no small part in its success. As for the individual scoring, Bob Ungren, a Johnny-come-lately Junior star, paced the squad with 148 markers. Eddie Osborne and Moose Wydro, senior marksmen, also reached the century-mark in scoring. The latter gave a sensational defensive performance in the second Cranberry game when he covered Chuck Williams, high scoring Berrien forward, with the proverbial blanket, holding him to a mere 3 points. While the Oiler Varsity was enjoying a great season, the Junior- Varsity, tutored by Joe Macalka, was applying the finishing touches to a campaign comparable to that of the parent club. Only two defeats were suffered by the J-V's who were led in scoring by Dave Pearson, sophomore pivot-man.

OIL CITY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL A weak Titusville eleven offered minor opposition as Coach J. J. Connors directed the Oil City High School football team to a 19-6 triumph in the season's opener, thus breaking a victory famine that had extended over a three-year period. Following this spectacular start, that intangible annoyance known as the jinx crept into the intricate joints of what gave promise of developing into a smooth-working gridiron machine, using as its chief weapons injuries, ineligibilities, and disruption within the squad itself. The team promptly went into a nose-dive from which it was never quite able to recover. A list of seven disheartening defeats followed. Not- withstanding the fact that victory had once again taken the shape of an elusive eel, the boys never lost that fighting spirit, and, on the last day of the season, gave probably their best performance of the entire campaign. Despite a snow covered gridiron and a shortage of loyalites present to cheer them on, the Oilers fought the highly favored Farrell Steelers to a virtual standstill, losing by the comparatively small score of 13-0.

The grappling sport was not making its first appearance at Senior since it had been previously employed by its present day coach, J. J. Connors, as an off- season conditioner for his football squadmen. Gridiron aspirants comprised the major portion of the wrestling squad, which did not engage in competition with other schools, but under the supervision of Coach Connors, confined itself to regular workouts on the mats carpeting the Boys' gym. The rescinding of travel restrictions and other war-time regu- lations in the near future should find wrestling blossoming into a popular, well-publicized sport at the school on the hill. Being very ex- citing and pleasing to the eye, it most certainly will rise to unprecedent- ed heights when the way is laid open.

JUNIOR-HIGH BASKETBALL At the outset of the race in the Venango County Junior Loop this past season, the Oil City Freshmen cage squad was an unknown quantity, chiefly due to the inexperience of the bulk of its personnel. From start to finish, however, the ninth graders, led by Gerald Wood, the league's top scorer, were sole owners of first place, thrice thwart- ing the relentless efforts of Franklin's runner-up courtmen to dis- lodge them. The championship gained by the Freshies,' will further augment the now bounteous list of titles compiled by their erstwhile coach, J. F. Knute', Houtz.

J UNIOR-HIGH FOOTBALL Taking the reins from Oscar E. Collins, who left his post as ninth grade gridiron mentor to enter the armed forces, Wesley R. Travis guided the Oil City High School Freshmen football squad unbeaten through a schedule that was abbreviated to two games because of tran- sportation difficulties and the lack of suitable opponents. - On the basis of the performances given by the Freshies', in their two starts against rugged and heavier foes, it is not unreasonable to assume that this squad was the incubator of several promising pigskin stars who will play important roles in the liberation of Oil City High School football from the miserable state in which it now lies.

GIRLS' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL These eleven Seniorites left behind them an enviable record in the most popular of the girls' athletics, basketball. Keen playing is shown among all girls, and spirited games are enjoyed both by the players and onlookers. This interclass program, under the direction of Mrs. Bartlett, annually highlights the scholastic events of the femmes athletic schedule.

BOYS' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Taking an early lead, and repulsing all counter-blows by their op- ponents, the Junior class team upset the Seniors, 19-15, to cop the Boys' Interclass Basketball championship for the past year. The victory was the result of fine cooperation between the various members of the team, with no one performer stealing high-scoring honors. The highly-favored Seniors had earlier downed the Sophomores by a 30-16 count, while the unheralded Juniors had previously posted a 39-13 victory over the Freshmen.

WHAT THE RECORDS DID NOT REVEAL When appraisals of athletic teams are made, the expression that the records speak for themselves is often used. This is simply meant to imply that records are self-explanatory, in- forming one and all very bluntly and discriminately what the statistical results of a long, arduous season have been. In that case, after surveying the records compiled by Vari- ous Oil City High School teams during the past season, we could justifiably present the majority with huge deposits of orchids, while conveying antithetical gifts to the remaining few. These presentations would, of course, be made solely in accordance with the records. But there are certain elements which are not written in the 1942-43 records. These are the benefits which our athletes derived from the fight they carried on, win or lose, in each and every game. While giving their all for dear old Alma Mater, these boys were acquiring the durability and poise that will be of great assistance to them when the Big Game begins in the none too distant future. Their strained muscles and alert minds will respond more rapidly to the frightful situations arising from the trends of battle. Having been taught the value of team work, they will have the co-operative spirit that makes for the success of any flanking maneuver or pincers movement. From the heat of the numerous struggles in which they took part, our athletes know the true meaning of the word fight',. Therefore, we feel certain that whenever their opening gun is sounded on some distant battlefront, and the opposing forces rush in for the kill, they will conduct themselves in such a manner as to confirm the following words uttered by that courageous individual, General Douglas MacArthur, a fo-rmer athlete himself: The seeds of battle are sown on the fields of friendly strife.
