They all like him for his occasional sternness of manner which deceives no one, and for his keen wit touched with whimsi- cality. As a teacher, friend, and track coach we all feel he can't be beaten. We, the Senior Class of '42, feel it an honor to dedicate this year-book to him. BUHHD Ill EllUlJllllUll Rocky River High School is forunate in having experienced and capable people on the school board. This board meets to discuss problems of main- tenance, teaching personell, and equipment needs of our school. Mrs. Florence V. Kenney of l9l6O Rockcliff Drive, is the very competent president of the board. Mrs. Kenney began her term on the board in Janu- ary, l93O. Harry H. Blackburn, l708 Wooster Road, is the board's vice president. He has served as o member since December 30, l933. He is osociated with the Lincoln Storage Company. Carl W. Sollenberger of 2082l Avalon Drive has been o member of the board since January, l934. Mr. Sollenberger is with the Cowles Tool Com- pony. Mrs. Mildred Josselyn, l908 Hampton Road, is the Clerk-Treasurer of the board. Mrs, Josselyn become secretary to Dr. Young in February, l939, and one yeor loter filled the position she now holds. W.

We are fortunate in having a principal who will always take time to talk over any problem with a student. For many years he has guided pupils and teachers alike to the high standing our school enjoys today. Because of his experience and friendliness, he is always willing to do anything he can to further the education or round the personality of a student. For this and for many other things, we shall always feel indebted to him. MISS McKEE ht A, B., M. A. From time to time a member of the senior class has need of information regarding college and business or a per- sonal problem. ln such cases Miss McKee not only tells him what is best, but will help him carry through in any way she can. Besides all her regular teaching ac- tivities she is Dean of Girls and a very vital part of Friendship, Girls' Council, and Student Council. There is no girl or boy in senior high who has not felt her influence and grown just a little bit big- ger because of it. MR. STROTHERS ---- B. S., M. A. No better friend can one have than Mr. Strothers. As assistant principal he has Come in contact with most of the junior high students and has won the respect and admiration of all of them. The stu- dents who know him well will never forget his generous distribution of penny candy.

Vice-President Takes off This spring one ot the largest classes to graduate from Rocky River High School will receive the very significant diploma. Besides their outstanding work in scholarship, leadership, and service, their activities have proved ex- ceptional. As freshmen they presented the never-to-be-forgotten St. Pat- rick's Prom. Each year their experience helped them make their events better as was proved by the sophomore l-lezzie Hop. A live turkey was rattled oft to the unfortunate winner. The junior dance was closely followed by a Junior Talent Night which included every member ofthe class. i l twenty-two 0 050 01'0NQ'-0'6 '0 '-0 401L0'f6 7'0'1'0''0f'016'01-0 70'02'-0f'01'0'f6f'0vu00'0P'0f'0 -0- '0'20f'0 GLORIA BRITTAIN Followed with BOB WILLIAMS At the hong Secretory a bang Treasurer out Beginning the senior year with class elections, the class adopted the senior responsibilities and carried on in a manner true to all the traditions at River. At Christmas, the BellHop drew not only present students of Rocky River, but also many alumni. May first and second found the actors and actresses of the class strutting their stuff in the successful production of J une Mad. Soon after followed the traditional Senior Prom. So as we depart from River we take with us fond memories of the lasting experiences we have had through our school years. twenty-three '0M01 cuss nscnons simon' mme: emu Knrr ron oertiiii CHOOSE CAPS I: GOWN! -I Y 53 l 5 4. fu 14 f -, .

But don't be misled, for she possesses a hidden sparkle of fun which comes to light when she is with friends. MARGO ADAMS: Margo is every place at once, especially during first period. She is every bit as pretty as her name. Though her heart belongs in Lakewood, she has not neglect- ed her River friends nor her studies. SCHARROLD ADAMS: The reason Ernie is such a good miler is that he lives a mile from school and leaves at 8:27 every morning. He can be counted upon to do his share of work and so makes a good president to pilot the course of the senior class. BILL ALEXANDER: When that boy puts down his head and glances upward, he is the pic- ture of innocence, but let the teacher turn his back-! Business administration is to be Bill's career while Geology, of all things, takes up his spare moments. JEAN BAKER: Jean or Bakey as her friends call her, is one of our most pleasant seniors. Seldom is she seen when she isn't wearing a merry grin. She likes almost everything and everyone and is always ready to have a good time. HARRY BECK: Harry's brilliance on the pitching mound and his cleverness at opening or- ange crates at the A C1 P are known to all. We're sure that he will be River's gift to the Indians in a few years. MARY BEHAN: A newcomer this year, Mary soon made a place for herself with her soft, brown eyes and quiet nature. She is a wonderful listener and many a person has with- out realizing told her the deep dark secrets of their lives. BOB BERRY. Everybody knows Berry, if not for his pleasant personality, for his sly, subtle humor. Bob likes baseball and women and holds his own in both. ED BERTHOLD: Ed doesn't talk much but this only serves to hide his keen personality. He is interested in all kinds of sports and plans to make his future in the field of agri- culture. DOROTHY BIELERT: Dorothy likes dancing and sports. When you know her, you dis- cover a happy personality under a calm sophisticated exterior. ED BLACKBURN: This diminutive red-head has enough energy for eight full-sized people. He loves to promote events, like paper sales, and carries responsibilities well even though it's only a water bucket in football season. FRANK BOWLES: Frankie must hate publicity for he has successfully kept the spotlight from his private life. Our mystery man, however, didn't manage to keep the class from learning of his shy humor and pungent wit. GLORIA BRITTAIN: Pokey, though the smallest girl in the Senior class, is iust packed with fun and laughter. She loves dancing, sports of all kinds, mathematics, chemistry, and little girls and Ladds. .IACKS BROOKS: lf you are afraid of things contagious, stay away from this fellow, for you're sure to catch a bad case of laughter. Jack works hard and long on Saturdays to keep up his car--or should we call it a car?--which is his pride and joy. .IACQUELIN BROWNSON: Notice Jackie's odd jewelry sometimwifs really smooth. If there is a iob to be done, Jackie is the one you want. To be a secretary is her ambition and we think she has what it takes. WILLIS BU-RTON. Want some fun? Just call on Wee. This carefree, irrepressible iokester, so active in football is also a good hand as a gasoline attendant. Here's one bov who isn't afraid to say what he thinks. LES BUTZMAN: Les reminds one of Esquire ads and streamlined cars. At the other extreme, he is fond of football, horses, and Friendship presidents. Although he is low in stature, he is high in leadership. GARY CLAPP: Gary is the outdoor: type. He loves to hunt and fish, and he spends practi- cally every moment he has at these pursuits. The great outdoors holds no secrets from Gary for he is an old friend of Mother Nature. BOB CLARK: This blond Casanova can be seen at every social function. He has a smile for everybody, and Jak-Kraw's is a livelier place when Bob and his friends are around. SHIRLEY COBB: One of the prettiest girls in the senior class, Ubs offsets her lack of height- by her dynamic personality and her pleasant smile. Her interests include danc- ing, Girls' Council, Friendship Club, and Mr. Henderson's trig. class. fl' 'ff' Z1 ff , I I X CLASS ELSCTIONS SENIOR DANC!

Cookie made up for his lack of size with spirit and fight to make letters in both football and track. MARY CRUMB: Mary is a grand person to have oround at all times. She is an ardent sports- womon which can be verified any Monday at G. R. L. She is a member of both the band and orchestra because of her abilities on the trumpet. TOM CUNNINGHAM: It will require two men next fall to fill the gap in the football line made by Tom's graduation. Thanks to Tom, River was represented at the Kumquat Bowl for the frist time. Also he has a great faculty for making friends. FRED DAEDLOW: Another bowling enthusiast, Fritz does not confine his talents to this sport only, as he is also a baseball and basketball star and a monitor chairman aside from being one of A. J.'s chemistry proteges. RALPH DEITRICK: Ralph seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father as a civil engineer tor he's tops in chemistry and mathematics. Ralph is sincere in everything he does and is a real friend once you get to know him. PAUL DILLON: P. D. or Dilly is a loyal lyaku member, not only because he is vice president but for several other reasons. He is quiet and reserved in school, but when with his friends he displays a welcome sense' of humor. RAY DOAN: Tall, and always wearing c happy-go lucky smile. Ray is one of our motor- minded men of the senior class. Give him a car to dissect and he's perefectly happy. JOAN DRUMPELMANN: She's a coy blond with a perpetual grin and a liking for knitting, people, and Dixon. To see her you'd never connect her with four years of math or the career of a statistician, but that's where her interest lies. MAYNARD ELLIOTT: A hearty laugh, and we do mean hearty, tells us Maynard is nor for away. You can always count on him to liven up a party or to settle on argument about history or chemistry. JERRY FLYNN: Jerry is probably the only senior boy who wears a suit coat during school hours and because of this distinction he is sometimes called a walking Equire ad. Jerry is also one of the few camera fiends in the senior class. ADELE GABRIEL: Tall, blonde, and beautiful, Adele has a pair of the most serious big blue eyei in our school. Poise must be her middle name but don't let her fool you-she's rea y fun. TOM GAETANO: Time and time again Tom is the fellow Mr. Evien picks on in history. His answer is always a grin and a blank look. Tom is interested in almost anything, butl at present, baseball occupies a lot of his time. WALTER GAGE: Walter's the boy famous for the short carpet-like hair cuts. Time and again he is having it gently patted by some fascinated girl. He is also the joy of Mr. Bridenbaugh's heart for who else would sit and listen to him without asking any ques- tions. HARRY GERSTENBERGER: Harry and his tan Chevrolet can be seen whizzing through River streets at almost any time after 3:34 and, though when riding with him you may feel your life is in danger, we have it on good authority that he knows what he's doing. MARY GlLMORE: There seems to be no end to Mary's talents, She is tall, slim, and gra- cious with personality plus and a sparkling wit. Her poise and willingness to enter into the spirit of things are two of her outstanding qualities. THURMAN GORE: Thurman is another one of those quiet fellows and few people realize , just how much he does for Ole River. He was one of the outstanding students in the war program at school. His hobby is model airplanes. DICK GOURLEY: Dick loves an argument even more than painting or drawing, and you can talk yourself blue in the face without changing his mind. If Dick continues his art work, Petty will have something to worry about. ' BILL GRAHAM: Bill is a bit reserved but when you get to know him you discover that he has a.humar of his own. Lakewood's loss was River's gain when Bill came to our school, and since then, he has proved himself an asset to the class. LES GRIMES: Long and lanky, tall and thin, you'll find lots of fun within. Les showed up so well in basketball that everyone regrets that he waited until his last year o come out. He is an ardent tennis fan and is one of our coming stars in this sport. BOB GRISWOLD: Bob is our valedictorian and although o mental giant and a math genius, there's always a laugh on his lips. He's quite a camera fiend and spends much of his time looking for suitable subjects. . i942 fr' 1 X' . .ig Z1 ff fs.

SElllllllS SHIRLEY GROSSE: Gro . has much vitality for a person her size, but then they say dyna- mite comes in small packages. She loves to cut a rug and have fun, and her congenial nature and genuine interest in people makes them interested in her. BILL GUYOT: You say he's tall, dark, and curly-headed. Who else could it be but Billy. His shy grin and blush perhaps don't typify a great tennis player, but the boy can really play a mean game. RUTH E. HAHN: Ruth plans on a stenographic career, but if her affairs remain status quo her husband will be the one to take dctation. Her jolly personality is responsible for her many friends and she is always the center of an admiring group. DORIS HANFLER: Though quiet and unassuming in school, Doris is known for her loyal sincere friendship. She entered River quietly in her sophomore year and has made a place for herself in the midst of the senior class. DAVID HARRIS: Dave is one of those things which are taking Latin IV and he is still going strong. A subtle humor and o wonderful backhand in tennis show Dove up as the real fellow he is. CHRIS HERTZ: Although this chubby, black-haired senior was with us only one semester, we grew to know him as o true rriend. He was vice president of the Handicraft club, and his jolly laughter helped pep up many a meeting. JEANETTE HORTON: lf you are looking for someone to take a responsibility and carry through, there is no better personu than Jeanette. It is pretty certain a secret could be kept by this quiet senior. JEANETTE HOOPER: Jeanette always has a smile ready to greet you. Behind that smile there is o mind that thinks and isn't afraid to say what it thinks. She has a very definite ideas on everything. NAOMI IRWIN: Serene and serious-minded, Naomi has made many friends in her own ini- mitable way. ln spite of her happy days at River, Naomi answered the call of the business world and left at the mid year. All the seniors regret her leaving and miss her very much. MARILYN JONES: lf you're looking for a friendly smile just look up Marilyn. She is quiet, but they say that it is the quiet person who really gets things done. Marilyn is no exception to this rule. DOROTHY JONES: Jonesy or Dotty can well be classed as one of the most enter- taining of the senior girls. She amuses everyone with her baby talk and laughable ways. Dorothy has o serious side too which enables her to make good grades and good friends. She is also one of our utstanding dramatists. JEAN KAZDA: An amusing sense of humor-iust ask her friends-is hidden by Jean's shy manner with strangers. Her unusual skill in English composition and vocabulary is well known in all of her classes. GEORGE KAZDA: Generosity and thoughtfulness are two of George's best qualities. He is an ardent sports fan and when he is not working he is very likely to be found in one of the local bowling alleys. BOB KELLY: Kelly is always the first to get a date when some new girl appears an the horizon. This breezy wolf in sheep's clothing has a line that could tie any gal in knots. He usually has a wide grin stretched across his face. WILLIAM KINZER: Every now and then Bill astounds you with some witty crack that takes a while to penetrate your dull mind. Bill's sharpmindedeness has made him an out- standing student in math and chemistry. DICK KOSTER: One of a long line of Kosters, we expect Dick to follow close on the heels ot' Al as a Case man. His sense of humor, which seems hereditary, has been one of his main assets, and for o rousing evening of fun you know whom to loin--Dick! ED LADD: Eddie is one of our most popular senior boys. He is not only the possessor of talent for public speaking, debate and dramatics, but also sings tenor well enough to rate the lead in the operetta. He is well-versed on politics and the world situation and favors Britain all around. JOHN LANGENHAN: Editor Johnny as he is still called has proven his worth as a leader in River by being editor of Hi-Tide and president of Hi-Y. His grand sense of humor is apprecicnred by everyone and all his friends hope he will succeed in his ambition to grow ta . PAT LAPE: Patty loves cakes, up-hair-do's, slumber parties, and' driving. Generous, pepy and eager for fun, she has loads of friends to her credit although she has been at River on y a year. CHARLES LEVET: Chuck hides beneath a gruff exterior, a sentimental heart. He enioys athletics and excels in baseball. Chuck would blush if you asked him about a certain girl and then deny that he ever had a date in his life, but we know, don't we? l942Q ft s X CLASS ELECTIONS SENIOR DANCE GIRLS KNIT FOR DEFENSE CHOOSE CAPS 5 GOWNS , 'Q 'Tr . , N1 Km? ' ' 1 ' .ga . l 4 k' 1 f - H ,if V .-- 1. . vw- . -..M SEHIURS ED LUMM: This small, blond fellow goes about school not talking much except among his own crowd of friends. He is an outstanding member of the Photography Club and one of the best two-wheeled drivers in the class. CHARLES LUTZ: Charlie is the unconscious owner of o smile which has melted the hearts of several senior girls, but it doesn't phase him in the least, for his interests are purely masculine. They run along the lines of airplanes and baseball, ot which he is quite outstanding. TOM LYMAN: Lyman possesses an Eddie Dutchin-like ease at the ivories. Ug is a hard thinlser, but his thoughts are along this line: Where can l hear 'boogie woogie' rhythm next GORDON LYONS: We all remember a boy who broke his leg hitting the line too hard. We'll remember a boy who stayed in bed for months-with a grin. But most of all we'll remember Gordon, his sly chuckle, his eager friendliness, and willing, cooperative spirit for any kind of work. RALPH McMAHON: A wizard in history and current events and an indispensable business manager of the Hi-Tide, Ralph has proved his worth to River. His honor roll grades show that he can combine work with pleasure. LYLE MADISON: Tall, blond, and sarcastic ias far as girls are concernedi, Lyle is really everyone's friend. He was also one of the outstanding football players of the year, which rated him the honor of co-captain of the team. ROSLYN MAIN: Rozzie always has a cheerful smile for old and young. Her happy nature and artistic ability are two of her main distinctions. Roslyn has high hopes of becoming a Schalpparelli or Mainbocher of the future. ARLENE MENZ: A little bit independent, this foultlessly groomed senior appears sophisti- cated to those who don't know her well. lf you're yearning to learn the newest dance steps, Arlene is the one to consult. GEORGE MERCER: George's yellow car is o landmark around thetown and he loves nothing better than to tear around in it. lf you see him rounding a corner on two wheels, his only excuse is, Why I was just trying to conserve tires. GEORGIA METZGER: Georgia's performance in Headed for Eden will never be forgotten. The girl who gave this gallant performance in spite of appendicitis, can always be found in the center of a lively group and can easily be located by her infectious giggle. JACK MINO: Talk about your tall, dork, and handsome men-just look at Jack sometime. He is conscientious, but like most fellows has a streak of happy-go-lucky charm. Any night during early spring you are sure to find him out on the baseball diamond. JUNE NELSON: Juney is another of those jolly persons whose happiness is catching. She is also understanding and able to meet any difficulties which might arise. She is quite a sportswoman and ice-skates at every opportunity. JACK NORAN: You say you're at a stand still as far as man and history are concerned. Well, just look at Jack. He knows his stuff and loves to show it off. Ask him some time where he got the wavy hair and watch him blush. DOROTHY NOVAK: Dorothy is o quiet, reserved girl with wistful eyes and a hesitating smile. She accepts responsibility well and can be depended upon to fulfill her duties competently. MOIRA O'BRIEN: This dark, intense senior has o flarr for the dramatic. Her speech as well as her acting ability attest to this. Direct and se f-confident, Moira makes an interesting companion, for there's never o dull moment when she's around. DORIS OEHLKE: Doris is not all giggles, happiness, and grin, but she is a good mixture of all these with o share of the sober too. To prove she really is serious sometimes, we'll tell you that she plans to take up nursing later. BOB PARK: This toll, good-natured fellow has a deep, rumbling voice, a quiet sincerity and a subtle sense of humor. Bob likes airplanes and singing, and may take it up loter. Just don't make the mistake of calling him Parks instead of Park. PAUL PARTRIDGE: Paul's springy gait distinguishes him from all the rest. His drafty car, which each morning he 'must coax patiently to start, is his pride and joy. He looks ond acts very shy, just tell him so and watch him blush. BOB PEJEAU: This friendly fellow divides most of his spare time boasting of his progress in chemistry and his ability in ping-pong, neither of which he really excels in. However, there is no one who is quite as good a friend as Bob. LLOYD PETTY: Hitchie and his reliable old jalopy are a frequent sight on the streets of River and Fairview. His friends find e is a genius at composing puns igood and badl, but they seldom benefit from this now because he is a working man. i942 ,rm . ff' .HY--4.

L., butkshe also has displayed her interest in nature by being the capabale secretary of lya u. DAVE POWER: Again and again Dave shocks the class with his intellectual talk. lt doesn't take him long to catch on to jokes and usually his own are the funniest. Model air- planes and sailing take up most of his spare time. GAIL PRITCHARD: Here is one of those enviably tall, sophisticated girls with a casual air about her. You don't need to cultivate a friendship with Gaily once met, her friendship is assured. JANET REICH: Toodles is a veritable nymph. She can be seen fairly flitting through the halls at almost any time. Her high scream, followed by an unusual burst of laughter, accompany her everywhere. BARBARA RICH: If you're looking for an appreciative audience, who will laugh at all your jokes, it would be a good idea to look up Barbara. She's always ready to help and best of all will do it with a grin. BILL RUDOLPI-I: Rudy is, as he himself might put it, more fun than a barrel of monk- eys. To verify this just ask 'anyone who has been in any of his classes or any one who has played football or basketball with him. BARBARA SABOE: Two trustful, hazel eyes and a pair of rosy cheeks go to make up Bar- bara's innocent and guileless expression. Under all this we find a girl who is happy, kind-hearted, and unselfish to the nth degree. MARY JUNE SAMMETT: This shy, taciturn senior can be seen ice skating or coasting any cold winter dan somewhere around River. Neatness, quietness, and pleasantness are three virtues w ich have helped Mary June gain good friends at our school. JOANNE SANFORD: Joanne is quiet, but lots of fun. She always enjoys a good joke even if it is on herself. Most of her interests lie outside of school, but that does not mean that she hosn't made her place at River also. LOUISE SCHERER: The production department could not get along without Louise. Her happy smile and joyful laugh come from the bottom of her large heart. After gradua- tion the business world will have gained one more of our efficient '42 stenographers. SHIRLEY SCI-IMALTZ: There aren't enough hours in the day for Shirley to say all she wants to.

SUZANNE SCHOONDVER: Zannie is up on the latest styles, dance steps, and language. She is interested in one of the fine arts-good solid music and dancing. Her beautiful hair has been the envy of more than one River girl. JACK SCHRIBER: You can always tell when Goose is coming, by his slow lumbering walk. Jack's indifferent attitude and slow, bashful grin make him all the more attractive. His level-headed guidance has been invaluable to us. EUGENE SHANK: Eugene appears quiet in class, but get him with a bunch of fellows and he's tlge life of the party. Bowling and golf are his seasonal pastimes. He's no amateur at eit er. MARGARET SHARE: Silence is golden is Margaret's motto, for at one time she had lar- yngitis while the rest of the time she is just quiet. ln the future the business world xvAilI findther pounding the old typewriter keys.

Her cheerful personality and sunny smile are only two of the many contributions she has made to our school. JUNE SMITH: Although June was only at River for two semesters, we remember her for her happy smile and her honest endeavor to be friends with everyone, Everyone hopes she has acquired as many good friends in Lakewood as she did here. i942 .gh ff' x '75 I-i V- 5.

He is interested in machines and now is trying his luck in a machine shop. A foreign stamp always attracts his atten- tion, for his hobby is collecting them. ED DOYLE: There's a devilish glint in Sunny's eyes as he waxes eloquent when boasting of his great power with women. The pride and joy of his heart is PK-67l, and although he calls it o car, we have another name for it. GRACE FISK: This thin, fragile blond has a knack for French ll, which makes her the envy of practically the whole class. Even though she kept shyly to herself, the class knew her for her sweetness and generosity. JOHN GALVIN: lt's hard to make friends with John, but ance achieved you really have something. He is studying to be a chemical engineer and he has the stuff to make one. MARGE GARRETT: Maggie loves to dance. She will always ioin in the fun, and her good sportsmanship has won her many friends.

Her other interests are dancing, art, knitting, and generally having a good time. RUTH M.

She has proved to be capable of handling psople as her job as chairman of homeroom representatives of Friendship necessitates t is. EILEEN SCHWARTZ: A three-word description of Eileen is tall, dark, and blase. She has the gift of gab and knows how to use it. Her moods are versatile and perplexing and one moment with her is always different from the next. JACK SPECKMAN: Jack keeps himself busy most of the time either sleeping or eating. How- ever his firey red hair matches his spirit, and his flare for public speaking and mathe- matics have made him a valuable asset to the class of '42. BOB SYVERTSEN: Sye is River's number one playboy. He is a polished master of the ice as well as of the ballroom floor. His is a catching grin and because of this, he has help- ed liven up the senior class. ' VERNE TREAOWELL: Verne is a thorough, dependable worker, who does his job without expecting applause. He was the high scorer an the basketball team this year and seems destined to carry on in this sport at college. PHYLLIS SMITH: Phyl always has a pun ready.

CARL SOLLENBERGER: Carl is the dark, romantic Latin type, but there is more to him than iast that. Quiet and sincere, he is o true friend and will stand by you through thick and t in. - JOHN SOURIS: This breezy, high-pressured person could probably sell the city of Tokyo to Roosevelt if he tried hard enough. His friends say he is good for a laugh anytime, His aim in life is to become a success in the world of photography. VIRGINIA SOURIS: Virginia is rather doubtful about her future, but either dress designing or the business world will probably have her in the end. She is interested in all sorts of exercises, but dancing surpasses them all. BOB STENGER: If in a crowd you see a toll, curly-headed fellow, it is sure to be Bob. lf you can't find him in the crowd, you'lI find him working in his father's greenhouse.

Notice the freckles sprinkled across her nose. SHIRLEY THOMPSON: Who has the energy of six people? Who is the model of efficiency? Who gets her father to do her homework? Who is one of the school's best dancers? Why of course-Thompson. BERNICE TOME: Bemice, another shy member of our senior class, may seem very 'quiet at school, but have you ever heard her scream after falling on the ice while she is pursu- ing her favorite sport? , i942 if' fl' f?

His loud laugh and voice carry far, but nobody seems to mind. He is another baseball fan and is doing right well on our team. As far as girls are concerned, Dick says, Variety is the spice of life, BILL JOHNSON: Bill is the strong silent type of boy with a serious attitude toward life. He loves to make things with his hands and is helping his father in some of his carpen- tering work, this will probably be his vacation. GEORGE DRURY: There are a lot of fellows who will remember The Arena meet last year, but George will especially for it was he who sprinted The last few feet to come in first in the half mile. Even in real lite, like the tortoise and the hare, he comes in first each time. BARBARA WALKER: The eyes have it with Barbara, Her sweet disposition and talent for shorthand are sure to help her make a great success of her life, BETTY WARREN: Bets has an amazing reputation for never being on time, but in spite of this her friends like her, She enjoys sports of all kinds, being an active member of G, R. L. She also rates high in chemistry and mathematics. BETTY LOU WATERS: Ycu'd never guess Betty had such a lovely voice unless you liearrl it. Her dependability is one of her most noticeable characteristics. Although she has just been at River a year, everyone feels that because of her the school is a friendlier place. FLORENCE WILHELM: Willie, Flossie, or Flo has acquired almost as many nicknames as she has friends. She is artistically inclined and examples of this talent can be found at almost any Friendship gathering. CLAIRE VAN FLANDERN: This petite miss has indeed been beneficial to River. She wrote many of the best articles which appeared in the Hi-Tide and has been a loyal member of lyaku. CIaire's beautiful hair and her cheery smile are a welcome addition to the senior class. ROGER WILLIAMS: Here is the man that published this annual. A joke book doesnt hold more jokes than Roddy, and if he can get a good listener, he's content for hours. He likes baseball and art and takes both of them seriously. SADIE WILSON: Sadie is timid and reserved in school, but when with friends she adds a charming bit of humor which is always appreciated. Though she hasn't becn very active in school affairs, the senior class would not be complete without her. LOIS WILLSON: Lois has a serious side, although you'd never guess it. Her peppy enthusiasm and hearty laugh are what people really remember about her. FRED YAEGER: His brilliance on the basketball floor is found again in the classroom. l-le never seems to be lacking in ideas for making students laugh and teachers turn gray.

Both juniors and seniors will miss Jack's cheerful grin and ready greetings. LORETTA ZAK: Loretta has been spending her last few years in high school preparing her- self for a good job as someone's private secretary. The rest of her time is spent educat- ing herself with the works of famous authors. ROBERT ZAHN: lf you've read stories about the quiet bookkeeper who keeps his thinking to himself, you'd find in it a duplication of Bob. He's just a soda jerker now but watch him rise. He enjoys books of the West that was and might end up a sure-nut cowboy later. DONALD OLSON: Talk about your slow, convincing smiles, you can't beat Ollies. At Jak Kraw's they can't get rid of him, for faithful friends are always there to defend him. l942 JUlllllll CLHSS See the studious juniors. Watch them as they go. Soon they will be seniors, And know what seniors know. The class of '43 got off to a fine stort by choosing Bill McCor- mick to lead them through the year with Vic Gustavson, vice presi- dent, Chuck Myers, secretary, and Ray Gilmore, treasurer. Junior boys did exceptionally well in athletics, many of them receiving letters for their outstanding performances. Friendship, Hi-Y, Student Council and other clubs all had some junior officers. Junior committees were active throughout the year working on class activities. 'Most of the members helped to prepare for the annual Thanksgiving dance. Not only was the dance a success in a financial way, but it was also one of the high spots on the social calendar. After much debating the class selected their jewelry in Decem- ber. When the time came at the half year to choose o new editor for the Hi-Tide, Ann Brown, a trusty Junior stepped into the position. One of the outsanding events of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Euch successive year the junior class has provided a dinner and an enjoyable evening for the senior class. This year's class was no exception. Consequently, the evening will long be remembered by both classes. In this manner have the juniors prepared themselves for becom- ing the students of next year-the seniors! thirty-eight thirty-nine Strufting on down A word from the Weiss Bill McCormick President Vic Gustavson Vice President Charles Myers Secretary Ray Gilmore Treasurer Ho-Hum Drawing the bead The leading lady I I 1943 3rd row-D.

P I k 5 SUPHUIIIIIIIE IIIHSS I think that l shall never see, Or I hope I die before, A thing so very silly As a silly sophomore. ln the fall of '4l the class of '44 made their way into the life of senior high. To head their class during the year they elected Whit- ney Slaght, president, Duke Bitler, vice president, Rosemary Mc- Cormick, secretary, and Bill Watkins, treasurer. These officers, with- the help of committees and faculty ad- visors, planned their annual sophomore dance, The Heartbeat. This event was held on February l4th at Kensington Gym. The music was furnished by Bobby Nelson's Orchestra and the decorations were cleverly done in Valentine's Day colors. The sophomore boys seemed athletically inclined for thew par- ticipated in all senior high sports, and will probably furnish excellent material during the next two years. The' girls and the boys contribut- ed to the membership of many clubs. One of their proudest moments was the announcement that a fellow student, Cliff Badger, had been cnosen for the debate team. This was not only a great honor for him but for the class as well. As the cheer leaders were leaving, another group was chosen. Six out of the nine finally selected were sophomore.

I J 4 lllESHlllHll CLHSS The Freshmen are full of knowledge, Which they carry in their brain. Although some of them are dizzy, They are still all safe and sane. The freshmen held their election of officers in the latter part of December with the result that Johnny Heller was elected president, Ken Koster, vice president, Bob Freisner, secretary, and Don Gilmore, treasurer. These officers met with Mr. Strothers and their home-room teachers and decided that the Freshmen dance would be held on March l4. Four committees handled the program, orchestra, invita- tions, and publicity. Although it was against all tradition, they de- cided that it would be o sport dance. They put many hours on it, but it was not in vain for the whole dance was declared a success. Very seldom is a freshmen boy on the varsity football team, but little Johnny Heller proved that it could be done. There were also a number of the fellows on the lightweight basketball team. They beat the sophomores in basketball and tied them in football. Their student council representatives were very active on many committees and helped in the many drives for conservation and de- fense. Cafeteria hosts and hostesses, hall guards, and library guild also had a large group of freshmen members. After successfully leading the Junior High in scholarship, ath- letics and citizenship this year, the freshmen are looking forward to the senior high next year. forty-six 0 forty-Seve The big ones got away Walking in the night John Heller President Ken Koster Vice President Bob Friesner Sec rerory Don Gilmore Treasurer That smile!

Realizing that they were no longer the babes of River High, the eighth grade began the year by electing class officers and by enter- ing enthusiastically into many of the other school activities, The officers elected were Jack Galloway, president, Jim Hague, vice presi- dent, Janet Grigg, secretary, Jim Waters, treasurer. For the first time dancing was introduced in the gym classes and every member ofthe class entered in wholeheartedly. Being well represented in all the extra-curricular activities, the class also held its own in paper sales and the defense program by buy- ing stamps and bringing in books for soldiers at camp. Under the supervision of Miss Workman and Miss Gray, plays were produced and exchanged among the homerooms. The social events included skating parties and other field trips which seemed to interest the girls more than the boys. The boys, being the he-man type ,liked sports, Above all, the class is learning to handle the responsibilities that will make them worthy ot their place at the head of iunior high next year.

They found it very embarrassing to head for study hall and arrive instead in a senior class. With shy blushes they would timidly retreat, but event- ually they found their place, as we all had to do, and became an essential part of River. Their first responsibility was to elect officers and after an extremely close race, Tom Bundy won the presidency, Lois Duty be- came vice president, Jim Ormsby was elected secretary and Ann Fen- ker, treasurer. These four have ably guided the seventh grade class through its toddling steps and have helped them take their rightful place in high school life. They had their voice in school affairs through the two representa- tives they sent to Student Council and the various home room repre- sentatives who attended meetings and reported the activities to their fellow classmates. The class made a good showing of patriotism when the call was given and it became a policy with them to buy more than their share of war bonds and stamps. During the paper drives they also showed their willingness. Each seventh grade homeroom made its presence evident by the size of its pile in front of the school. From the fine record they've made in their first experience at high school, we may expect great things from these students in the future. f ifty- four fifty-five ,gm xi iyfsf After o hard doy's work Short stuff Pals Tom Bundy President Lois Dute Vice President Jimmy Grmsby Secretory Ann Fenker Treasurer The queens Isn r he cute? l947 3rd row-M.

Rocky River's football squad reached its highest peak in many years during its '4l season, having won five of the eight scheduled games. The season was typified by plenty of hard playing, stiff compe- tition, and fine cooperation between team and coach. The team was fortunate in that not one serious injury was received. Last year's calamities were enough for years to come. The team made a long trip to Akron Ellet for the opening game, and after a hard fought battle came through on top. The most bitter defeat on the schedule was suffered at the hands of Clearview when we lost by one point in the last minute of play. For the first time River was represented in the Florida Kurnquat Bowl by Tom Cunningham whose hard line smashes featured a large part of River's offensive throughout the year. Jack Schriber and Lyle Madison were the players' choice for co- captains--two boys whose fine leadership played an initial part in the success of the season. sixty-one ' 1, eller River I3 Iearview l4 This game had more thrills than any played on our field in a long time. After outplaying the Clearview boys, victory seemed sure to fall on our side with time for but one more play. But what a play! A run, a fumble, a lateral, and another run spelled victory for Clearview. River 2--------l---Berea 25 Barely recovering from the Clearview disaster, River suffered its worst defeat of the year at the hands of a highly touted Berea eleven. Berea took to the air from the opening gun and River found its pass defense futile against the Berea ace, Tom Phillips.

When he attended ln- diana State Teachers College, he was a player of no mean ability himself so that he coaches with a keen knowledge of the game which comes only with personal contact.

The team has one of the best schedules they've had in many years, and they intend to take another crack at the Mentor Relays in which they were defeated two years ago by a third of a point. The annual River Relays will be sponsored by our school for the second time and the team has hopes at keeping the trophy at home. In their preliminary practice meets the squad seems to have the makings ot a crackerjack mile relay, and in general the possibilities of a great season.

But by winning the championship of their league last year the team won the acclaim of the student body and put baseball in its rightful place. Because the team this year is made up almost completely of seniors Coach Skomp was forced to organize a freshman team in order to assure the future after graduation takes its toll. The squad as it now stands is made up of boys who have played ball together for the last tive years during the high school and summer seasons. Their experience has taught them that spirit and cooperation are the main- stays ofa winning team and their victories are a direct result of these factors. This year the team seems destined to repeat last year's success and also to achieve the long awaited victory over Lakewood. BASEBALL SCHEDULE April l7 April Zl April 24 May l . May 8 .

Schwartz, As in former years, the first job was to set up an efficient monitor sys- tem. Student Council members filled in temporarily until the new monitors were assigned to their posts. Student Council has always supervised the collection of tax stamps, and this year the largest amount that has been col- lected since council began the work was sent into the government. The council bought three very attractive uniforms for the cheer leaders. When a nickelodian was presented to the school, money was appropriated by council to buy records. During the year several student governed study halls were set up and were operated by student committees. One important job started by Student Council was the appointing of hosts and hostesses for the cafe- teria. This work was later taken over by a member of the faculty. There have been several times when Student Council has given money to pay expenses of lectures and other groups that have given assemblies for the school. The W.P.A. orchestra was brought out for free after school dances. This year a new plan was worked out. From each homeroom a repre- sentative to council was elected. His job was to come to the meetings and then report back to homeroom. The homeroom discussion was led by the representative concerning the projects and problems that Student Council was coping with. Student Council was formed entirely for the benefit of the students in Rocky River High School. lt is important that the whole student body realize what his council stands for and help by taking an active interest in student government. A K seventy-nine John Langenhan started out his year as editor of Hi- Tide by increasing the size of the newspaper. He also made the paper interesting by using pictures to illustrate student activities. Everyone agrees that the paper has benefited from the hard work Johnny put on it this year. This year Ralph McMahon as business manager had a bigger job than ever before. The increased size of the paper and the l7 inch climb in ad-space gave him an opportunity to show his ability. All bills were paid by him and all ads were secured and sent out to advertisers by this jack-of-all-trades. Pledging to carry on the high tradition ofthe Hi-Tide, Ann Brown became the new editor as of the beginning of the second semester. As alumni editor Ann was conscientious and judging from the work she has already done as editor, we know the paper is in com- petent hands.

HHTWHHL lHESNHHS National Thespians is the higher group of Dramatic Club. lt is to this group that Neophytes set as their goal and are admitted after gaining IOO accredited points. After a Neophyte is admitted to the National Thespians, he automatically becomes a member of the nation wide organization. National Thespians have a meeting once a month at the home of a member. After school they meet jointly with the Neophytes' Group. Neophytes are informally initiated into National Thespians at one of the evening meetings. Everyone always has a hilarious time watching the stunts and antics that these new members have to perform to become a full-fledged Thespian. Later there is a formal invitation in assembly. Every year Dramatic Club presents a three-act play, the choice this year being '!Headed for Eden . Judging from the size of the audiences and the compliments paid to the cast, the play was a suc- cess. This year the club chose for its exchange assembly play Pot Boilers . For the past few years the club has entered the state con- test for the best one act play. Highness was sent from our school. Miss White, sponsor of Dramatic Club, picked from the club and her speech classes students to represent our school in the Western Reserve speech contest. There is also one other contest that was entered by the club. In the spring of the year a one-act radio play was presented in the Western Reserve Radio Contest. The active year was ended by a picnic which everyone said was the best they've ever had. HEUPHUTES New is the meaning of the word Neophyte. They are the group which struggles faithfully for the one hundred points, which qualifies them to be a National Thespian. Because of this, from time to time you could find them painting scenery, selling tickets, painting posters, and practicing for plays. It is in this way that they earn their points. The Neophytes have their meetings after school and often put on programs for the higher group. Monologues and one-act plays were given most often. The high spot of the year was the informal initiation when Super- man, The Hermit, Brenda and Cobina, Carmen Miranda, etc. gath- ered together to slave for the previously initiated National Thes- pians. Right along with the informal initiation came the impressive ceremony in the high-school auditorium when they solemnly pledged themselves to the ideals of the National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society. The Pot Boiler, a one-act play, was given by them as an ex- change assembly with Berea and Fairview. The three-act play Headed for Eden could not have gone on without their loyal help. All in all the Dramatic Club could not exist without the struggling Neophytes. 3rd row-L. Loufman, P, Gor- man, R. Williams, J. Young M. Elliott, G. Metzger, M. Gil- more, M. Wathen. 2nd row-L.

Its achievements have been many and as we are proud of the band so should we be equally proud of the or- chestra. MR. BOWEN His faithful guidance and leadership in the field of music have made him a favorite among students. He has put many long hours of untiring effort into the development of the Music Department of Rocky River High. With pa- tience and understanding at all times, he has passed on his knowledge of music to number- less eager musicians of our school.

Members of this newly founded club met every Tuesday afternoon to sing for their own pleasure or to prac- tice for activities. They led in the singing of Christmas Carols at the Christ- mas Assembly and led the entire community in singing around the commun- ity Christmas Tree. ln the later part of March, together with the Chorus, the Glee Club presented the annual operetta The Belle of Bagdadf' They also added enjoyment to many other programs throughout the year.

Although the group resembled a club it operated without the aid of officers. Under the very able leadership of Mr. Bowen all the members worked together to attain success.

SEHIUH HI-ll Les Butzman Ed Ladd Scharrold Adams John Langenhan Charles Lutz Dee Springer Hi-Y started its year determined to benefit the school and community in every way possible. In this line the club sponsored worthwhile campaigns and did its utmost to keep the high standards set in previous years. Through the efforts of the Program Chairmen, Verne Treadwell and Les Butzman, first and second semester respectively, the club was privileged to hear some very interesting speakers. A few were presented to the student' body as a whole. Hi-Y might be called the Campaign Club for they have backed some of our most worthy projects. An excellent example is the very successful Christmas Basket drive. The boys were also a very influential part of the school spirit, selling various booster stickers and leading the cheers at pep assemblies. Other activities have been the supper meetings which everyone enioyed and the recre- ation nights during which members really played to their heart's content. On the more ser- ious side was the attendance of Easter services with Friendship. As the year drew toward closing the Hi-Y had their annual dance with great success. This was followed soon by another annual event, the long awaited Sweetheart Banquet. Thus closed one of the most enioyable and progressive years for the Hi-Y Club. eighty-eight A01'01f0 '-0 0'-'0 Q'-9'0'140 '0l'0'N0W0Y+01' '27401 0K0Pf0f'0 '0-f?20fWN01'0 -0f'0-'0'f0'1f0 0 0Y0 -Of UFFIUERS First Semester Second Semester President .... ..Les Butzman John Langenhan Vice President ....

A., started the year with an impressive Recognition Ceremonial at the Rocky River M. E. Church. At the first meeting the cabinet members gave a brief outline of their duties in the club. The executive committee consisted of Nancy Street, president, Sheila Service, vice president, Jeanne McCormick, secretary, Margaret Josselyn, treasurer, and Ruth Hahn, homeroom representative chairman. The following members and functions of the cabinet helped round out the program of our club. Inter-Club Council-Each month Mary Lou Wathen attended meeting at the Central Y. W. C. A. bringing back new ideas to our club. Ring Group-This was o discussion group lead by Gloria Brittain which was formed to create better understanding of each other's problems. A trip was taken to the Cleveland Health Museum after Mrs. Evans, a registered nurse, had given a series of lectures on Facing the Future lntelligently. Service Group-A large portion of the Friendship treasury came from the Service Group project of selling candy at football games. Under the direction of Marjorie Grahame many useful services, such as knitting, were attempted by this group. Music Group--Carol Woodruff and her Music Group gave excel- lent programs of popular and classical music. Their pot-luck suppers were a great source of enjoyment. l Publicity-The monthly booklet appropriately named the Chat- terf'iwas put out by Pat Gorman and her committees. The current happenings, news, and wittisms all helped to make it complete. Social Committee-All suppers were planned by Gloria Weber and her supper committees. The club was divided into groups so that at the end of the year each girl had had a chance to serve on one of these committees. f Art-There is no one quite as clever at making table decor- ations and invitations as Florence Wilhelm. She took care of all poster drawings and other art work. Last but' not least comes the Program Committee with Jeanne Charlton as chairman. During the year an Alumnae tea was held and a mother-daughter tea introducing Miss Frances Cade, who just recently had been a teacher in China. For the first time a Wimpy- Feed was given for the fathers and daughters. Reverend Mayer led a ve ry interesting discussion on Facing Life Squarely, and for the first time they had a Penny dinner, where everything they ate cost them a penny. A Mr. Titus from the School of Cosmetology gave a very interesting talk on styles in October. A home talent meeting proved to all that we really did not have to go outside of our own school to procure good entertainment, Mr. Barnes also gave a talk on his experiences with Mr. Beebe in the deep May brought the election of officers, the traditional Pa-Ma-Me banquet and Senior farewell, which brought to a close another year in Rocky River Friendship Club.

Teams were chosen and the basketball tournaments began. Under the new point system, inaugurated last year, the girls earned their points for their letters and pins by doing various outside sports as well as the regular G. R. L. activities which are tennis, basketball, volleyball, badminton, and ping pong. In the spring a basketball playday was held between Fairview and Rocky River.

Because the club was so big at the beginning of the year it was divided into two groups: o ninth grade group under the supervision of Miss Barrett, and a seventh and eighth grade group with Miss Hanna supervising. They usually have separate meetings, but once a month they come together for a joint meeting. To lead them through the year, the ninth graders elected the followingi President, Mary Vkfithington, Vice-president, Mabel George, Secretary, Margaret Pierman, Treasurer, Charlotte Wahl. The eighth graders also elected competent officers as follows: President, Janet Grigg, Vice-president, Ellen Rasmussen. This year they carried out a number of worthwhile projects. The money they collected at the basketball games probably was the most satisfactory to the girls. They used it to buy milk for a needy family over a period of seven months. They plan to continue selling candy at the baseball games. At Christmas the right atmosphere was created at Rocky River High by the Girl Reserve Christmas tree in the hall. Successful is the only word to describe the thriving Girl Reserve Club. Gllll RESERVES 4th row Mr. Bullington, J. Myers, B. Shearer, B. An- dree, J. Fitzgibhons, C. Bad- ger, E. Beutler. 3rd row J.

The Junior l-li-Y is more or less the little brother of Senior l-li-Y. Every member seems to graduate from one to another. These two clubs are in some respects much alike. The principles of the two are the same, for they are both branches of the Y. M. C. A. However, there are many ways in which they are vastly different. Junior Hi-Y being a much smaller club, has had the chance in the past to plan field trips to industrial plants and other points of interest, This year, because of the war, their range of trips was greatly reduced, but they still carried on with a few. Whitney Slaght, the Program Chairman, was able to obtain some very interesting speakers for the year. One very attention audience had the pleasure of hearing a talk on short wave radio. The club's interest also seemed to run in the vein of travel. Members were favored with illustrated talks on Mexlco, the Caribbean Sea and travels in Europe. The following were elected officers this year: First Semester Second Semester President t . , . . Bob Andree Don Kelly Vice President Jack Myers Stanley Keel Secretary-Treasurer Paul Robeson Glenn Combos ilUlllllll HI-U ninety-four JUlllllll HIGH G.ll.L Under the leadership of Miss Garbison, the Junior High Girls' Recreation League enjoyed a very active year. This group is organized so that the girls may enjoy recreation besides that provided in their gym classes. This year the girls elected Charlotte Wahl, president, Jane Smith, secretary, Mary Jean Bennett, treasurer. The club met after school every Thursday. They played volley ball and basketball in the gym. For outside activities they went roller-skating and hiking. Their interests and meetings have been varied, and the club has set a very good example for the members next year to follow. 4th row-M. Smith, P. Cowling, S. Sparks, J. Hottell, L. Partridge, M.

This year on March l3th, sixteen seniors and eight juniors, chosen for their scholarship rating, character, leadership, and service, received the honor of being selected for membership in the Rocky River chapter. ln order to qualify as a member in this organization, one must be in the upper third of his class, must be a student of the school tor at least one year, and must be rated by a board of several faculty members. The officers of our chapter were elected as follows: Mary Gilmore, president, Florence Wilhelm, vice president, Gloria Brittain, secretary-treasurer. ninety-six I LIBHHRU Slllfl The Library Staff is a small but extremely efficient group of students interested in making the library a well organized and conducted room. Under Miss Robin's supervision they take care of the charging desk, shelve books, suggest displays, reinforce magazines, and add a personal garnish to the library by their pleasing personalities. Although the students in our high school realize the importance of these library assistants, it has been the case that an outsider walking into our library is amazed by the way the staff can carry an the business of the library. ln the last two years, students on the staff have taken another im- portant step foreward in the library, as they make recommendations for good reading to other students. Since our library has grown in Rocky River High School, several students who have worked on the staff like it so well they are thinking of becoming librarians, consequently, when you are asked what do student do when they work in the library, your answer should be, They give service which we stu- dents can't do without, and they learn a pre-vocational training that helps them determine their choice of careers or gives them a library experience which can be most helpful in college. 4th rowh-T.

Under the supervision of Miss McKee, the Girl's Council of Rocky River High School, a group consisting of four girls from each senior high class, had a very active year. These girls give much of their time to discussing girls' problems in our school. Recently a scale was set up by them to regulate the wages and hours of high school girls working in Rocky River. This year Council has sponsored the lectures of Mrs. Kemp, who talked about Seeing America through a Britisher's eyes. In co-oper- ation with Friendship they also sponsored a series of Home Nursing in- structions given by Mrs. l-lutchison, o registered nurse. With the girls' continual co-operation, the Girls' Council will be- come the most active organization at River. ninety-eight Subjects for high-school debates are always of current history. Re- solved, that all able-bodied male citizens of America, having reached the age of eighteen, should have one year's military training before reaching the present draft age, was the topic discussed this year by the team com- posed of Moira O'Brien, Ed Ladd, Cliff Badger, Chuck Myers, and Dick Koll. The latter three were all newcomers. Ed has debated for two years previous- ly and Moira had had a year's experience. These two seniors will be sadly missed. Janet Free acted as alternate and will probably become a full- tledged debater next year. Miss Boyer, who has directed River's debate teams so ably and has helped them win numerous trophies in the past, left before the team was well on its feet. However, Mrs. Bullington took over and successfully coached the debaters. C, Myers, D. Koll, E. Ladd, Miss Boyer, M, O'Brien. CURRENT lllllUlll On the second and fourth Monday evenings of every month in the school year Current Forum meets at the high school. At these meetings world news and current affairs and problems are discussed, and many invig- orating arguments are created. Mr. Evjen is the faculty adviser and has a lot to do with the reason why so many seniors join Current Forum. In the spring, field trips are usually taken and at this time jails, courts, and mus- eums are visited. This year, Ed Ladd was elected president of the club. Lester Grimes held the two-fold position ot Vice President and Program Chair- man, while Shirley Cobb was Secretary-Treasurer. It is rumored that Current Forum this year is the training ground for River's successful Quizz Bee Team. Among the speakers presented throughout the year were Michael Feighan, former Democratic leader of the General Assembly and Mayor An- drus ot Rocky River. The group sponsored a motion picture The Ninth lnning dedicated to the memory ot Lou Gehrig. 4th row-G. Drury, L. Grimes, H. Beck, R, Dietrick, B. Kelly, B. Peieau, B. Stcngcr, D. Harris, L.

Its purpose has been two-fold, to develop interest in biology and nature, and to provide the students with information and outside activities. The membership is limited to thirty-five members but the waiting list is usually equally as long. Some of the outstanding programs featured our own teachers, namely, Mr. Grubb, Mr. Strothers, Mr, Barnes, and Mr. Richards. Every member takes part, giving talks on hobbies or interests and entertaining or being host or hostess in the homes. Some of the outdoor excursions this year were a picnic at Little Cedar Point, a trip to a Sugar Camp, several bird hikes, and in the spring the long awaited trip tc- Cook's Forest in Pennsylvania Officers for the year were: President ..... . ..

Jack Schriber was elected president last year, to hold office through the first semester. Other officers were Les Butzman, Roger Williams, and Willis Burton. The constitution of Varsity-R was designed to promote an interest in sports for all the students and to keep the athletes of River in training the year round. Every member is striving to uphold this constitution and to spread its principles throughout the school. Varsity-R has been a great help in arousing school spirit and obtaining the support of the students in many school-wide activities. One excellent example of this was the very successful paper sale this winter. Another activity which Varsity-R undertook and made a success is the system of handling athletic equipment, during lunch periods. They have also had several football programs. At the beginning of the second semester, Chuck Myers replaced Jack Schriber as president. Other officers elected were Dick Heil, vice president, and Alan Hunt, secretary-treasurer. For the last half of the year these boys led the club in furthering its plans and activities in the school. 3rd row-VF. Yaeger, V. Treaclwell, A. Montgomery, W. Burton, L. Madison.

As it has been in past years, this year's student monitor system has been a source of pride to both the student body and to the members of the faculty of our school. lt has not only helped in keeping order throughout the school corridors, but it was the first essential step toward student-government. This year, within the first week of school, the monitor system was established. A tem- porary monitor committee, which was composed of council members Chuck Myers, chairman, Gloria Brittain, Nancy Street, Mary Gilmore, Whitney Slaght and Jack Young, chose the monitors from about three hundred fifty applicants. They selected, including the hall guards, ninety students on the basis of their scholastic standing and citizenship, trustwor- thiness, and ability to accept responsibility. Besides the regular monitors, alternates were selected to fill any vacancies. Frequently, throughout the year, the permanent monitor committee consisting of the sixteen chairmen, met to discuss and undertake any problems confronting the monitors. The monitors proved to be highly efficient in carrying out the duties that were entrusted in them, and were rated high by the evaluation committee at the time that they visited our school. All the monitors deserve recognition and congratulations for their fine work and spirit of cooperation. lllllllllllllS one hundred-three er, J. Young, B. Dillon, E.

The Doodlers' Club is intended for seventh graders, while the Scribblers' Club is for eighth graders. . The membership of each club is limited to twenty-five. At the beginning of the year Miss Workman, the sponsor, gave the members the beginnings of stories, and the members then wrote endings to them. They have also written stories, and are now writing and studying poetry. At first the clubs planned to publish a magazine, which would include their compositions, but because of the paper shortage this has been post- poned. Members may bring sewing or writing to the meetings, because of the national emergency. one hundred-four PHlllllllllllPHU CLUB A newcomer this year is the Photography Club. Even with its few charter members the organization has been making great headway. Under the leadership of Rocky Donnelly the club has planned and carried out several activities in the interest of photography, one being the Snapshot Contest in February. The other officers were Bob Baker, vice president, and Don Baeckler, secretary-treasurer, who all collaborated to plan the field trip in the spring. Through the efforts of Mr. Barnes, club adviser, the boys were able to obtain several interesting lecturers from the Eastman Co. on various phases of photography. These were a great help to the members in demonstrating how they might improve their work and technique. As most of the members are juniors, they are looking forward to next year with high hopes of greater success than this year. They are hoping to see a more influential club and a greater photographic interest in the school. A. Chaney, B. Griswold, B. Simmons, D. Baeckler, J. Flynn, E. Lumm, R. Donnelly, Mr. Barnes, B.

Following their motto, better craftsmanship and more home service, the club with the assistance of the ndustrial Artls classes was very active in providing needed materials both for the school and the Red Cross. Examples of this are the some SOO pairs of knitting needles for the Red Cross and the many school and P. T. A. bulletins they printed. They also did their good turn for the soldiers by making checker boards and ash trays. President Dick Erb, with his fellow officers Chris Hertz, vice president, Paul Fisher, secretary, and Jim Waters, treasurer, led the boys in helping to make model airplanes for the civilian defense air training program. Throughout the year the boys were striving to meet their motto and to become better home craftsmen. Though their work has been unnoticed by most of the students, they have played an important part in our school war time program.

There are, however, those who were called upon with much more regu- lority than others, and so, publicly go many thanks from the staff and myself to: The Indianapolis Engraving Co. Mr. E. G. Fitzsimmons Mr. R. R. Benson Chesshire Photographers, lnc. Mr. W. E. Partridge The Painesville Publishing Co. Mr. H. B. Hurst Finally, and though, perhaps a little unusual, my sincere thanks to the staff itself, a group of capable, cooperative folks, and dandy friends, to whom goes all the credit for this volume. THE EDITOR Keep coming back for all they've got and take it with a grin, When disappointment trips you up or failure breaks your shin, Keep coming back - and if at last you lose the game by right, Let those who whipped you know, at least, they too have had a fight, For when the one great scorer comes to write against your name, He marks not that you won or lost, but how you played the game. -Grantland Rice The Pomesvnlle Publushmg Co., Inc Pninesvllle, Ohio Q i P , Q-1.1-:,3:n.L L.-.
