Indust rial Arts 1 -2-3- 4 Class Prophecy It had been exactly twenty years since my graduation from Rutland High School. I was alone and feeling slightly reminiscent. Perhaps the radio would bring my thoughts back to the present. 1 turned the dial to “News”. The very first announcement told of a ship which was thought to be lost in a storm. Among the passengers on board were Post- master-General. John Folan and t.he famous singer Helen Grass. The whole nation was listening for an S. (). S. but none had been heard yet. If news of the boat were not received soon, the government would send in search of them a number of planes under the supervision of Robert Smith, the world famous pilot. 1 turned the radio off and picked up the evening paper. The headlines read “Ambass- ador to France makes Peace Treaty”. Much to my surprise, the newly appointed diplo- mat was my former classmate, Clyde Davis. On the society page I read an account of Lyndall Lyons’ big party for the President of the United States of America, John Nelson. Lyndall had become the most important society leader in the large and wealthy city of Rutland. Ohio. Next I turned to the sports page. There I saw a picture of Lucille Wise the former women’s champion wrestler. She was accepting a contract in Hollywood with Fox Pictures. Her first picture was to be “Up and Att’em . Starring with her will be Samuel Davis. Captain of the good ship “Rutlandier”. After finishing the paper, I turned to the radio again. The voice 1 heard sounded familiar. At the end of the program the announ- cer said, Tune in again tomorrow evening at 8:00 p. in.. B. S. T. for another program with Gladys Conkle and her Home Receipts”. 1 knew then that it was one of my old classmates, whom 1 hadn’t seen for many years. I left the radio on to see what the next program would be. It was orchestra music directed by Kenneth Davis. The members of the orchestra were introduced, as this was the first time they had played over that station. To my surpiise Gladys Anderson was the leading violinist- As 1 was listening to the orchestra, I glanced at a magazine on the table. The picture on the cover looked familiar. Betty Amos and Herman Kincaid, the world’s greatest comedians would be on the air at 9:15 p. m., E. S. T. I settled back in my chair and was entertained for an hour by two ot my old school chums. This ended my rather busy day—busy because I had just accepted a position as pass- enger agent to Mars and was planning to take the students of Rutland High School on my first trip to tiiat planet —Vesta Nelson Class Will We, the Senior Class of Rutland High School.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF we have hereunto set our hand and affixed our seal this seventeenth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty- eight- —Gladys Anderson Class History After spending eight years preparing ourselves for secondary school, we entered high school in September. 1934 as freshmen. We were huddled together in home room. Here we had a serious task of preparing schedules, learning the bells”, and getting acclimat ed our new surroundings. There were fifty-four of us then; we were proud of the size of our class, for it was the largest one in school. We had hoped that we would not lose any of our classmates, hut. for one reason or another, as the months passed we lost twenty-five members from our class. Virginia Davis was our president that year and Gladys ConkUt secretary and treasurer. Doth our party and weiner roast were great successes. Several of our class were in the operetta, Lelawala”. We were more than proud of the fact that Virginia Davis, one of our members and a mere freshman, had a leading part in the operetta. We entered school in 193G as sophomomes. We had only twenty-nine members that year, but we felt that our experience and wisdom would compensate somewhat for the number of students we had lost. Gladys Conkle was president and Gladys Anderson was secretary and treasurer. Remember the sophomore party at Ethel Sesler’s home, and the fun we had? We went out to Dexter tor our weiner roast that spring. Many of our class were in the operetta, Sonia’ . During cur sophomore year we lost eleven members. We began our work as juniors in a much larger and completely-remodeled school building. Samuel Davis, Vesta Nelson, and John Folan joined our class as juniors. They came from other schools- We had our junior party in the study hall of the new building. The biggest event of course, in our social life as juniors was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Hollywood Bound was the operetta given that year. Several from our class had leading parts in it. Herman Kincaid played the leading male roll. Lucille Wise was elected junior president, and Gladys Conkle. secretary-treasurer. When we assembled in home room in September of 1937, we were sorry to see only fifteen members in our class. Lyndall Lyons had come to us from Akron. After a few weeks. Jim Haley, our president, became seriously ill and was forced to withdraw from school, leaving us only fourteen seniors. Lucille Wise was elected vice-president, and Gladys Conkle. secretary, and Robert Smith treasurer. The operetta this year was The Gypsy Troubadour’ . Several of the leading characters were from our class. We have had some disappointments in our tour years in Rutland High; we have learned to rise above them; we have changed partially our childish fancies to those o! men and women. We have had many, many pleasant experiences, too which wc shall never forget. We have come to love this school We have been here four years, four of the best years we’ll probably ever spend. Those friendships that we have made must temporarily come to an end. The help, the aid which we have received is to be given no more—not by those who have previously helped. But now we say farewell to our teachers classmates, and friends at Rutland High. Kenneth I hi vis Juniors FIRST ROW GIRLS: Eileen Edmund son.

I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of farm life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement. I can not deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of organized farmers to serve our own and the public interest in marketing the product of our toil. I believe we can safeguaid those rights against practices and policies that are unfair. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so-for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of ii when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depent on me. I believe that rural America can and will hold true to the best traditions in our nationaJ life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.

Since the surest way of developing appreciation is through creation, this aim has been accom- plished in part this year by designing and making a variety of crafts objects. r Jack o' Lantern FIRST ROW: Emagene Davis, proof reader: Sarah Tuck, proof reader: Lyndall Lyons, typist: Margaret Gill, jokes: Jean Chapman, advertising manager; Marvel Nelle Spires, editor-in-chief. SECOND ROW: Lucille Wise, printer; Douglas Canny, artist: David Wright, artist; John Miller, subscription manager; Stephen Davis, subscription manager; Mary Bernice McKnight. advertising manager; Mrs. Pickens, sponsor. (Helen Grass, printer, is not in the picture.) HOW JACK O’LANTERN SERVES OUR SCHOOL A school paper to be of value must be more than a mere newspaper. Like any news- paper it is intended to be a summary of past events and a forecast of future events. But in addition it must offer opportunities for learning and for applying what has been learned by the students. Jack O’Lantem attempts to do this in several ways. The articles, cartoons, and cover designs are the work of the boys and girls. The proofreading is also done by the students. In the course of a school year a number of students are taught to cut stencils and to operate the mimeograph machine. In doing this work they make use of their knowlege of English, art, typewriting, etc. By selling subscriptions and advertising space students get first-hand information about salesmanship. The income from these two sources pays for the stencils, paper and ink used in printing the Jack CVI antern. Students who have taken the trouble to keep their copies of Jack OT intern for the four years of their high school career tell us that they grow more valuable as time passes. In the years after graduation they find themselves growing less and less willing to part with them. • • Latin Club FIRST ROW : Garnet Davis. Grace Anderson, Janice Lanning, Evelyn Lanning Lyndall Lyons, Betty Amos. SECOND ROW : Dorothy Colwell. Gladys Anderson, Catherine Morris, Frances Ole- land. Hortense Bowen, Alta Will. THIRD ROW’: James Titus, Don Morgan. Weyland Brown. Miss Smith, sponsor. The Latin Club is a new organization in our school. It was organized under the direction of Miss Lucille Smith. Latin instructor, at the beginning of the second sem- ester this year. The purpose of the club is to further interest in the knowledge of Latin culture. Members also have gained valuable experience in talking before a group, in planning progiams. in serving on committees, and in parliamentary law experiences which will surely help develop a better intergrated personality. i Instrumental Music The orchestra has functioned at several school and community activities this year. First at the county Sunday School Convention then at the Christmas program when the beginning instrumental students joined forces with the orchestra members in giving a program of carols. The appearance of the orchestra at commencement completed the activities for the year. The Band made its initial showing at the “Coast to Coast” program. Later it pro- vidied the music for several basketball games- The Band will undoubtedly be composed of a large number of students next year. - s.

The courses offered are: seventh grade drawing 4periods per week: eighth grade -wood and metal—6 periods per week; ninth grade—drawing, electricity and metal -10 periods per week; tenth grade—wood working—10 periods per week. The tenth grade course consists of a study of technical and related information con- cerning tools, woodworking processes, trees, lumber and wood finishing, in addition to the shop work done in the shop. All pieces made during the year are finished by hand. Some very beautiful finishes have been obtained this year- In the junior and senior years, pupils are given a wide choice to do more advanced work in any activity already sampled in lower grades, or to choose another line of work. No regular classes are schedule for these pupils, which makes their success more de- pendent upon individual initiative. 1 S r I J Industrial Arts Occident Staff Editor-----------------------------------------------Gladys Conkle Assistant Editor____________________________________ Kenneth Davis Subscription Manager ________________________________ Robert Smith Advertising Manager__________________________________Lyndall Lyons Advertising Assistants __ Lucille Wise.

The season was started with a very inexperienced team, and as the scores show , we took some early season drubbings. As the men gained experience they became real lighters. Later scores show' the pro- gress of the team- We are losing two good men, Robert Smith (senior), who played a blocking half and Elbert Luckadoo, who was on the wing, but replacements seem plent- iful. We are looking forward to a good season next year. Schedule SCHEDULE G. A. H. S. 44 Rutland 0 J.

Charles Davidson, Weyland Brown. Marion Hull, Junior Pond. John Utsinger, Ray Steiner, John Folan. Raymond King. The basketball team of the past season started off as a rather green aggregation. As the season pressed on, marked improvement wras noted. In mid-season we changed from a man-t 0-man to a zone defense, and believe that w e were greatly benefited by it. We are losing only one man. John Folan. through graduation. John helped us over many a rough spot.
