Ohio Wesleyan University Pace Eighteen “0 wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!” Robert Burns. Here is a refined, congenial, cheery chap. His studies are not burdens, but he is a scholastic success. We are all proud to have DICK ALEXANDER graduate from Arlington, but we are sorry that we did not have the chance to know him longer. JAMES ALLEN is a good-natured sport whose humor makes him well-liked. His favorite indoor sports are making model airplanes and taking candid camera shots of the glee club. He has gone into the latter hobby in earnest as he develops his own snaps. ROSS ALLEN is the energetic young man who makes himself seen and heard on almost any and every occasion. Everyone is immediately conscious of his wit. Outstanding in athletics, he is affectionately known as Arlington’s One Man Team.” He hopes someday to be able to play the sax” like Henry Busse. Bubbling over with enthusiasm and youthful spirit, Hugh-Ball (and his heinie hair-cut) provide the humor and relaxation for the rest of the senior class. AS ERNESTINE A LT HOFF’S radiant smile and cheerful disposition make her as sweet as she is pretty. We all hope that some day she will become famous playing her violin, on which she has practiced so diligently throughout her high school career. As a leader, as a scholar, and as an athlete. Ernie deserves acclaim. PRINCESS ALTICK. a new pocket-sized addition to our class this year, hails from Indiana. Her bouncy little-girl walk is one of her most endearing characteristics. It’s easy to see when Prin is particularly happy by her grin, which begins at one ear and ends at the other. Unfortunately, ihe cause for her radiant grin migrated to Cleveland in the middle of the year. DICK BKI.L is the possessor of an unsolvable personality. No one ever knows what he is going to do next. When this boy is not attending to his duties as president of the Hi-Y Club, he finds time to play in the band and orchestra, sing in the glee club, and play football. Loquacious and jolly, Dick's consummate ambition is to lend a swing orchestra. His presence first graced our school four years ago when he entered as a freshman. Since then his line appearance and genial personality have vaulted him, among other things, to the Junior Class presidency. It is hard to find a more even-tempered, likable girl than JULIA BEN BOW. She has a slight tendency to be almost late to school each morning, and we do mean, almost. Artistic and versatile, Julia is an accomplished actress and an impressive puppeteer. Impartial and unprejudiced, her sense of humor is ever predominant. A super pianist and dancer, DICK BEST is also in his spare time a soda jerker. In addition to these accomplishments, he is a storehouse of knowledge. Knowing all the news for miles around makes him quite interesting. Although Dick loves to tease people, he always does it in a good-natured way which no one resents. Five feet two with eyes of blue, describes diminutive MERRY BLACKFORD perfectly. An inimitable friendly cheeriness has won her friends and acquaintances from all parts of the city. Entering contests and working puzzles are two of her favorite pastimes. One has a hard time finding her behind the wheel of that big blue Packard. Her theme song is My Heart Belongs to Danny. MILDRED BOWEN, Baltimore. Maryland’s gift to Arlington, is a cheerful and friendly young miss. We are indeed glad to have her, even though it has been for only a year. Mildred seems to favor the South, and her next stopping place will be Duke University. She is one of those fortunate people who know just what they want, and how they are going to get it. SEE US MARYAN BURDORF loves to tease, which fact belies her business-like mind. She is a considerable help around the school, and we wonder what Miss Ogan will do without her. Incidentally, Maryan makes almost all of her smart clothes. CHARLES CARLSON has been envied all this last semester by us unfortunates who must go to school in the afternoon. At one time he paced the mile for the honor and glory of deah old Arlington.” His closest pals are college freshmen whom he entertains in his air-conditioned truck. Everyone around school knows SUE COULTER. She is the gal who adds that something to the Swing Band with her sweet songs. Sue can swinj, a mean paint brush too, as the walls of the art room testify. As if that weren’t enough for one girl, she is quite easy on the eyes also. JEAN DAVIS enjoys all sports and excels in them too. Her oratorical ability was discovered in Senior Speech Class, where she entertained her classmates with her nonchalant manner. She might be called a Dorothy Parker, as she has a keen sense of humor and in general conversation her remarks create fun wherever she goes. Our usually indispensable shadow, Deat, deserted us this winter for that more interesting and comfortable realm of the suntan, Florida. BOB CTHEES Paee Nineteen DEATON'S clever writings show to an advantage his worldly and amusing attitude. Although he dresses very well, his weakness for bow ties and corduroy trousers renders him not always on the conservative side. WALLACE EVANS, who aspires to become an author, is making a fine start with his English themes. One can always recognize him by his height, wavy blond hair, and snappy brown eyes. Though rather noisy at times, this boy can send one into gales of laughter by his humorous remarks, his imitations, and his profound sighs. When Irish eyes are smiling, we all hope they will be HAZEL FITZ-HENRY’S. Luxurious curly brown hair, fair complexion and immaculate, good-looking clothes, characterize Hazel. She hopes to model clothes and we know she will be successful. KEITH FORREST has been known as “Doc” around school, but no one seems to know where he got the name. It doesn’t have anything to do with being a scholar, we surmise; nevertheless, if personality or good looks have anything to do with this game called Life, Keith will come out on top. Very active at Arlington, MARGE GARVIN is brilliant, artistic, and versatile, though she hasn’t the temperament that goes with these qualities. Good-natured and easy to get along with, Marge has many friends. Often her blue Buick is filled to capacity with riotous companions. She is especially fond of chocolate doughnuts, sleeping, and 1 . G. Wodehouse. ROBERT GIBSEN'S outstanding quality is his remarkable ability to concoct, in the chemistry laboratory. substances which emit those obnoxious odors that drive students toward the doors each afternoon. Perhaps, because of the fact that he has never been hampered by women, he has made a name for himself by his scholastic achievements. If silence is golden, Bob’s fortune is made. CARR GROSSMAN is known as the man of a thousand girls. His girl friends are found in every high school in Columbus. He carries a little black book, filled with many names, addresses and telephone numbers, known to all the males in Arlington. He should be made the executive head of a date bureau. Carr's pleasing smile is a good asset that helps his pastime very much. FRANKLIN GRLESSER was the “blond express” of last year’s football team. A great “doodler”, the margins of his papers are usually filled with complicated but artistic designs. Everything Bus does or attempts to do is done in earnest, and failure or success in his endeavor has a direct effect upon his nature. He likes to do things for others; he is highly conscientious. BETTY HALL is a little girl who does big things. With her athletic activity and scholastic achievements, she is one of the most all-round girls in the school. Very independent, Betty never fears to voice her opinion. She has to her credit one presidency, one gold basketball, and many friends. FRED HALL has a pleasant and amiable manner which makes him many friends. A subtle humor aids his poetic aspirations. He likes to fish and hunt. Though Fred is mild-mannered and polite he enjoys teasing. CHARLES HEATH is the twin who plays quarterback and dances, not the one who plays end and goes with Rita. Buddy’s ability as an entertainer is unsurpassed because of his versatility. Girls, please note: he is a smooth dancer and lots of fun. That Arlington version of the mad Russian that has us laughing all the time is the latter half of that twin combination. Buddy and BUD HEATH. He and his girl, Rita, are the accomplished terpsi-chorean artists we see moonin’ around the dance floor. A lovable young man at times, though truly a nut at heart. Bud has made a niche for himself in the graduating class of ’3I� . If you ever hear a loud horse laugh floating through the halls, you’ll know that it’s the old burrhead himself, laughing at some outrageous joke (in all probability his own). This wrinkly-browed luckless Casanova we see around school isn’t as down-hearted as he looks. All kidding aside, DICK HER I, is really a conscientious, hard-working young man (when he isn’t out having a good time, listening to the radio, reciting somewhat dated jokes, and having a whirl with the girls). JEAN HERSHBERGER is the feminine counterpart of her brother, Pete (at least as far as athletics goes). Her expert diving is a contributing factor to placing our school on the map. Jeanie, however, has other accomplishments besides her athletic activities. Pretty, dark-haired, and soft spoken. Jean is one of Arlington’s best scholars. The short boy with the big blue eyes and the wide smile that you see in the halls at school is RAY HODDY. In school he likes physics and giving speeches, but when hunting season rolls around. Ray packs his gun and leaves school. “The Call of the Wild”, we guess. WILLIS HODGES, who can beat it out with the best of them, is the outstanding drummer at Arlington. His voice is unusual—usually it is deep and grown-up. but when he talks to Flo it changes. Hmm! In the line of sports, football and track claim his attention. JOAN HOHENSTINE is one of our most talented artists. Most of the posters around school are products of her skill. With her own puppets and scenery, she stages popular shows. Endued with a fondness for unique wearing apparel, she was the first to venture forth clad in wooden shoes and barges with bells. Clever, versatile, and fun-loving, Joan will probably become a famous puppeteer. One of our most pert blondes. El'NICE HUDSON, is an exception to the rule that blondes are dumb. She is the friendly young lady who has wholeheartedly joined in our activities since her arrival at Arlington three years ago. She has the touch of the devil in her eye, which makes her always look happy and always up to tricks, and which warns one that she is likely to be up to a bit of mischief. Eunice is one of the large group of girls who want careers. If she can talk as fast and as convincingly Page Twenty to her business associates as she does to her present schoolmates, she will be a whiz in the business world. Accomplished in every sport, VIRGINIA HUN-SICK ER presents an athletic figure around the school. A good sport herself, she is lots of fun. Athletics, however, is not Ginnie’s only accomplishment. She quite often graces the art room with her presence. MARY LOUISE HUTCHINSON has attended Arlington for twelve years and in these twelve years she has managed to become involved in all matters and affairs pertaining to the music department. We know Mary Louise to be reserved and friendly. She is interested in dress designing and will probably study it in college. HOB IVES is a genial blond who is best described as always smiling, always busy, always lost. He is also quite a poet, as he will tell you himself. On the side, Bob finds time to write, paint, and indulge in athletics. The women seem to like him regardless of the fact that he may or may not wear crutches. This lad has risen from freshman obscurity to senior recognition and popularity. BUI) JAEGER is trying to live down the reputation of being a business man. This reputation was created by his many original ideas, such as bus trips and newspapers. If you aren't careful, however, he will sell you your own hat. The originator of the present photography fad around school, he has a large following of boys who. at the drop of a handkerchief, will pose for him real purty”. Photography is a hobby which seems to have turned into more or less of a business for this boy. MARILYN JOHNSON is known throughout the village for her irrepressible soprano voice. Nothing can dampen her adventurous enthusiasm, which delights and amuses her countless cronies. She absolutely will not accept T. L.’s on her head of luxurious black hair, found every Saturday bending over the church mimeograph. Impulsive, affectionate, spontaneous, Jonnee” has for a long time been first in the hearts of her classmates. AMY LEONARD’S three main hobbies are dining, dancing and dates; she has no trouble keeping up with all of them. Amy’s keen sense of humor enables her to pun more often on the spur of the moment than any other girl we know. Operatic solos, swimming pools and midshipmen please her. Seeking attainment, NANCY MARTIN has a definite philosophy of life, which she seems to be fol- lowing very well. Her many talents, her conscientiousness, and diligence have made Nancy successful in her undertakings, and have developed for her a forceful personality. PAULINE McNEAL, to a stranger, would seem to be a graceful and reserved queen accidentally placed in a classroom. Knowing her better, however, one finds she has an endless supply of wit which presents itself at dull moments to entertain her companions. Too, Pauline’s deep contralto voice is pleasant to hear. We made no mistake in electing REED MCCLELLAND Senior Class president, for his sound judgment excels all. This lanky lad is always well-dressed and neat. Reed’s voice is deep, and his tone is serious. Although he is rather set in his ways— especially on the subject of automobiles—he is a general good fellow and a friend to all. CAROLYN M ERR I MAN is one of the few Grecian Blondes” left. Very good-natured, she is ever ready to try something new. Carolyn likes all sports, and competes in them successfully. One of Arlington's feminine Robinhoods, she is the lone Arlington entrant in archery contests. She has many hobbies, tops among them being drawing and corresponding with students from foreign lands. TED .MILLER is the fellow with the low distinctive laugh. His first name is really Theodore, and from this have sprung his two nicknames, Ted and Thede”. He spends much of his time getting his Latin; however, he seems to enjoy it. Ted is prominent in sports, and was a loyal member of the football and golf teams. Ted’s friendliness and sense of humor have made him very popular with the boys. El) MINOR, a jitterbug of the first water, never tires at dances. He craves excitement and swing music, particularly Artie Shaw’s. He is often seen cruising around the village in his bright blue model A. Black wavy hair, all sorts of men’s jewelry, and leather craft characterize this man-about-town. KENNETH MORGAN is one of the big men of our class, both physically and otherwise. His high voice doesn’t seem to go with his large frame. Ken is a member of the golf team and tennis team and likes all sports. He is noted for his friendliness and sincerity. As one of our smooth cheerleaders, M RY Ml L-HOLLAND. by her good looks and liveliness, has made a definite contribution to the school. Intelligent, stubborn, witty, she gets much fun out of life. College students, clothes, and music of any variety are especially to her liking. BOB NADALIN’S hair takes up so much room that it seems hardly possible for him to carry the added weight of brain material; yet he breezes through his studies and still has time to spend deciphering his handwriting and delving into the unknown regions of chemistry. At 8:210- and at 12:29 2 there usually occur each day loud commotions in the hall. This is followed, just as the tardy bell rings, by PAUL NASH’S breathless entrance into the school room Page Twenty-one with the triumphant announcement, “I made it.” Not infrequently he attends detention. His hobbies are sleeping, play-ing ping-pong, and enjoying the chairs in the drug store. The tall, likable chap with the straw colored hair is a favorite of everyone in the school. You may have seen him in the very thick of a football scrimmage in the fall or running around the track in the spring. HOWARD NUDI) is a regular fellow. Although he is the smallest member of our class, GEORGE PACK contributes to our group with his ping-pong and French ability. George is a whiz at tennis, his favorite game, and was elected captain of the team this year. A turned up nose and deep, sparkling brown eyes characterize FLORENCE PARKER. Formerly known as a tomboy, Flo is a leader in girls’ athletics and obtains top-notch grades. We like her for her frankness; we know her to be a true and sincere friend and a sweet little girl with a great big smile. We all can remember one day last fall when the sad news came that we were to lose our Hi-Y president and track captain, GUY PETERSON. It. was a pleasant surprise to hear that Guy was coming back—and in time for track, too. If this tall dark fellow keeps up his track record, he will certainly become a star. LAURA LEE PFENING has been one of our attractive cheerleaders for two years, and has otherwise engaged herself in various activities throughout the school. Twisting her slender fingers through her curls, flitting through the halls, or being extremely busy with one thing or another, Jerry is a familiar picture. Behind DOR PITTON'S quiet demeanor lies an active mind which is busy following a wide variety of subjects. Although we know him best for his football and track activities, his interest outside school centers on building model airplanes. He is also intensely interested in all things musical. The proud owner of a thirty-two Ford and a much-pursued girl is HOB REED. He expects to enter veterinary medicine at State next year, although we wouldn’t blame him for joining the army. Bob tackles hard and deadly on the gridiron, as he does in every conquest. A Tyrone Taylor profile, a distinctive walk, and a muscular physique make him a man-of-the-world now, but we remember the days when he was a bashful, blushing boy. Serious minded DOUGLAS REID is something of a traveler. After attending four different high schools in as many years, he arrived in Arlington about the middle of this year. Behind his quiet manner lies a keen intellect and a sense of humor. PATRICIA ROBBINS’ determined air. and her constructive ideas for change have earned her the reputation of a reformer. A diligent student, she has gained the respect of her teachers and her friends. Pat’s varied tastes include her love of movies, politics, and chocolate ice cream. MARTHA ROSENCRANS seems to have been busy ever since she came to Arlington. “Mart” takes part in practically all activities. She especially likes sports such as basketball, riding, tennis, and swimming. Just watch Martha at any basketball game and you can tell when her brother is sent in. She is good-humored, and universally well-liked. We can’t imagine Arlington without her now. ED SAMPSON works hard at whatever he does, but the quality that makes him outstanding is his ability to be a good-natured target for everyone’s puns. Ed proudly holds a position on the basketball team, and although he doesn’t always play, he enters the game with as much enthusiasm as any of the other players. He intends to enter Cornell in the fall. We hope that Ed. with his dark good looks and ready laugh, continues there his scholastic and athletic prowess. M RGE SANBORN has earned the reputation of being our happy-go-lucky girl during her twelve years at Arlington. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Toni” never seems to fret very long about her troubles. Thus we can chalk up a cheery and popular personality to her credit along with her athletic emblems and Hi-Y pin. LANA SANOR, better known as Billie”, is the cute young miss whose coiffures are the envy of all the girls. An accomplished equestrienne, Billie has taken ribbons to prove it. Scholarly and sweet, she belies the old adage, beautiful but dumb. Always willing to lend a helping hand, PETE SAYERS eagerly accepts all tasks with his well-known infectious smile. He enjoys debating with all his teachers on problems that puzzle hi intellect. Pete possesses an enviable record in sports in which his greatest achievement was the captaincy of the football team. His sports career was brilliantly climaxed by a berth on the Greater Columbus All Star Football Team which was in Florida during Christmas vacation. He is most often seen with a group of girls, which he jokingly calls his harem. Food is his hobby; no buttermilk is safe within six blocks of him. JOHN SCHMIDT has an indomitable cheerful spirit. Although he broke his leg at the beginning of track season, he can be remembered for his pole vaulting and high hurdling. His slow anil easygoing ways are envied by those of us who rush madly around hither and thither. The song. Asleep in the Deep”, will ever remind us of John’s Bu88o Prof undo. B. H. (before heinie), JACK SELLERS' favor- Page Twenty-two ite gesture was running his hand through his hair to keep it out of his eyes. His unhurried attitude, his deliberate actions and his devil-may-care manner belie his ability to entertain his companions with spontaneous witticisms. Slugger Sellers plays a mean game of basketball. Although she creates a quiet, dignified first impression, with her friends JANE SHANNON is the life of the party. A confirmed swing fan. she is happiest when dancing to a good band. She loves to tease by telling tall stories as the absolute truth. Her pouting lower lip and baby complexion give her an innocent air. Were she that kind of a girl, SUSAN STOLTZ might easily boast of the foreign countries which have been the scenes of her exciting and romantic-travels. College, records, and journalism occupy her thoughts when not busy with plans for her numerous activities. Horses, Hawaiian music and Gary Cooper are to her liking. This year North High sent us pert ANNETTE STOl'T. Art seems to be one of her leading interests, although we often see her with a Spanish book under her arm. Annette has a fondness for gardenias, for collecting souvenirs from restaurants, and for a certain radio program entitled Moon River.” She especially disapproves of people who frown or who have superiority complexes. A stranger might be slightly shocked to see JANE TAYLOR come walking down the street. There is nothing about her jolly manner or startling blue eyes that is strange, but we can’t say the same about her walk. With her feet slightly turned out, she trudges merrily along in what can better be called a paddle.” The distance she is covering is probably either from the drug store to school or vice versa. Since the first grade HELENE TEFFT has been the apple of the eye of almost every male member of our class, to say nothing of last year’s graduates. Behind her reserved manner lies her boisterous and fun-loving individuality. Accomplished as an athlete, sincere in her friendship, she is definitely an outstanding senior. Although a newcomer to Arlington, JEAN WARNER. who hails from Ithaca. New York, has made a place for herself in the hearts of her classmates. She holds the enviable position of being the sole feminine member of the second-hour physics class. Such luck! Jean yearns to prepare at Cornell for a journalistic career. Lots of success, Jean. Practical and straightforward, VIRGINIA N EST is one of the most dependable girls in our class. Each morning she is the guiding genius of the Little Cicero Class” conducted in Mr. Davis’ room. No one can say that Virginia is not doing her part in seeing that all the boys pass their Cicero. To Virginia fell the difficult task of rounding up the ping-pong tournament entrants. We are sure that we would have given it up as a hopeless job—but not Virginia! Vice-President of the Senior Class, JACK WILCE is the tallest and lankiest boy in the school. He seems to be following in his father’s athletic footsteps. Besides playing center and being co-captain of the basketball team, he played football and high-jumped for the track team. Freckles, a very wide grin, and a nice mop of brown hair characterize this jovial fellow. TOMMY WILSON, who served as class president for our first two high school years, has acquired various and sundry nicknames, the most famous of which is Squi. Maestro Wilson, of the Scotch Highlanders, is a favorite kid brother in our class plays. Perhaps it is his carefree happiness interspersed with serious Hashes which makes him a typically American High School Boy. Hers is a different personality. Although Rl'TH WINDERS has a few radical ideas, we like her for her quick wit and ability to cut capers in the most depressing moments. Dark and petite, Ruth is one of Arlington’s prettiest femmes. Besides being an ace basketball player and cocaptain of our team TOM WUICHET is brilliant and popular. He has always led the class in a scholastic way. which has resulted in his being named valedictorian. A confident manner enables Tom to get whatever he goes after. The favorite of his teachers, Woosh will undoubtedly go far. The class treasurer. Eddie, is one of Arlington's well-known Casanovas. His broad, happy smile and vital amiability make his a pleasing personality. When he is not playing football, basketball, or golf, he is talking about them. Both amusing and confusing. ED ZARTMAN has given us many enjoyable memories. The names of all characters and places referred to are purely fictitious and resemblance to any living person is coincidental. Page Twenty-three IN fITICIM Judge Patricia Robbins frowned over her spectacles at the gasping jury. A new and astonishing angle had just been disclosed by the attorney for the defense, W. R. McClelland. The first witness for the defense, J. P. Sellers, the famous sports commentator, professed to have seen Miss Parker in the company of millionaire playboy. Bud Jaeger. At the mention of Jaeger’s name, the defendant, Mr. Hodges, jumped to his feet, threatening to kill him, but he was only pulled down again by his faithful guardian. Ed Sampson, better known as “Block.” The witness went on to explain that Jaeger and Miss Parker had been with the widely known roustabouts, George Pack and his wife, the former Jane Taylor. At this point, Mr. Paul Nash, attorney for the plaintiff, took the witness over for cross-examination. He immediately uncovered the fact that the observations had been made by two of Sellers’ stooges who had at one time been coaches Tom Wuichet and Jack Wilce. These men had just been released from the state asylum where they had been detained since the winter of ’49 when their teams had both been put out for the third consecutive year in the first round of the state tournament. This, of course, invalidated the testimony of the witness, so the bailiff, the former wrestler known as “Slug ’Em Down Pitton, removed him from the stand. At this point, the entire courtroom was thrown into a turmoil by the lusty screams coming from a short, stocky woman who was heard to scream, “Slugger,” and then faint. Cries for a doctor produced two veterinarians. Bob Reed and Carr Grossman, and a slightly flustered osteopath. Merry Blackford. While these three eminent authorities were deciding whether to apply horse liniment or to correct her arches, the situation was saved by the arrival of two M.D.’s, Fred Hall and Ted Miller. Their efforts were quickly rewarded and she was recognized to be the former wife of Sellers, none other than Prin Altick. Immediately, the doctors were summoned to another corner of the courtroom where they found it necessary to apply similar aid to a tall, blond man. He was identified by his assistant, Richard Best, as being the famous hair stylist. Monsieur Wallie Kvions (Curlie). The courtroom was silenced after the patients had been removed by the two nurses, Mildred Bowen and Nancy Martin, from the new Carlson Memorial Hospital. The judge rapped her gavel and said that she would have no further interruptions in Case No. 11189—Breach of Promise—Parker vs. Hodges. The next witness to be sworn in for the defense was Keith Forrest who claimed to be Miss Parker’s personal trash man. In his testimony he referred to several questionable letters, a number of which were written to the party of the first part, in a very affectionate manner by one Kenneth Morgan. The remainder were identified by the court handwriting expert, Mr. Robert Deaton, as being in the handwriting of Howard Nudd, alias Wimp, alias Pinky, now serving twenty years up the river. He had been convicted of manslaughter for running down the famous clarinet virtuoso, Mary L. Hutchinson. After the cross-examination had been finished, the witness departed from the stand to be greeted by flashes from the cameras of the star photographers. Bob Ives and James Allen, of Garvin’s Gazette. The court was adjourned for a ten minute recess at the request of the two court secretaries, Maryan Burdorf and Marjorie Sanborn, in order to allow them to arrange certain minor details. When they had completed their arrangements they settled back and listened with interest to a discussion which was developing among the most interested spectators in the first row. There, a discussion was raging between Ed Minor, noted shoe merchant, and Douglas Reid, who had just returned from his consulate in Canada. Dick Herl and John Schmidt, who were seated between the two pugnacious gentlemen, dozed peacefully on the fresh plaster-cast which adorned Schmidt’s shoulder. Martha Rosencrans and Ernestine Althoff entered and seated themselves beside Jean Davis, a regular court fanatic, to spend a few minutes of their precious vacation from the worldly problems of the Y. W. C. A. With the addition of these new viewpoints the discussion rose to such a pitch that only the quieting influence of sergeant-at-arms, Thomas Carlyle Wilson, restored the courtroom to its former degree of peace and quiet just as Judge Robbins returned to her bench. The case was resumed as another of the court bailiffs, George Heath, swore in the plaintiff’s first witness, Lana Sanor. Under the careful questioning of Mr. Nash, an interesting sidelight concerning night clubs, late hours, and many other women unrolled itself before the courtroom. Her testimony centered about the Black Hawk Nite Club, a high class night spot, operated by Robert Gibsen and his assistant, Jane Shannon. Miss Shannon has risen from the position of hostess, a place now occupied by Eunice Hudson. The jury woke up with a start as Miss Sanor told of the interest Hodges had shown (Continued on i ngc 48) Pafte Twenty-four Page Twenty-five Page Twenty-six FAC U L T y FIRST ROW—Miss Rea, Miss Tyson.

Page Twenty-nine N € INHERITANCE TAX We, the members of the Senior Class of 1939 of Upper Arlington High School, being of undisputed superiority in mind and accomplishment, do hereby give, devise, and bequeath the following traits to our inferior, but beloved, underclassmen in order that they may carry on with the usual grandeur, the Arlington traditions: ANNETTE STOUT leaves her China blue eyes to Mike Khourie. KEITH FORREST leaves his smooth dance steps to Paul Selby. BILLIE SANOR leaves to Betty the task of supporting the basketball team. ED MINOR leaves the school in a black Ford cabriolet.

JEAN WARNER wills her dimples to Phyllis Spangler. JIMMY ALLEN bequeaths his airplane models to Keith Johnson. RUTH WINDERS wishes her rebellious nature upon Nancy Howe. CARR GROSSMAN bestows his oratorical ability upon Mr. Ivan Davis. MARILYN JOHNSON leaves the school with a song in its heart. FRED HALL leaves the senior boys broke (he has a slot machine). MARY LOUISE HUTCHINSON wills her quiet, reserved manner to Barbara Shain. DICK HERL wishes his infectious grin upon the holders of Czechoslovakian bonds. FLO PARKER leaves her way with a man (and we do mean Willy) to any girl who can figure out how she has done it for three years. REED McCLELLAND gives his various presidencies to F. D. (third term) Roosevelt. MARJORIE GARVIN wills a month’s vacation to anyone who can develop an appendicitis attack. THEDE MILLER woke up just in time to leave. SUSAN STOLTZ leaves her “Pepsodent smile to pink tooth brush sufferers. KEN MORGAN bestows his staunch Republican views upon some other good Republican.

Some girls cried. Sissies! September 10. 1928—After one year of school the boys are still as dumb as ever. Why don’t they wise up? September 9. 1929—Pick up a 1930 annual and look at the lovely pictures of Sayers. Wow! What a setup. September 10. 1930—Remember the tears shed by our class when Miss Cooper’s room moved to the big building? September 11, 1931—This year the fight for the playground between the boys and girls caused lots of trouble. Some trouble makers we are! September 12, 1932—Most of our boys’ basketball careers are beginning this year. Thanks, Mr. Davis, for your kind cooperation. September, 1933-June, 1934—Boys, do you remember the glass S pins the girls vamped from us? Were we suckers! September. 1934-June, 1935—What a year this has been! Boys in one room, girls in another. Did the boys get hooked! September 14. 1935—Our high school careers are about to begin. What do they hold in store for us? November 15, 1935—The boys were undefeated in football this year. Congratulations, boys and coaches. April 3, 1936—Mr. Johnson, our new English teacher, produced a class play. June 6, 1936—I’m sure the boys are all looking forward to the rest of our high school days. This first year has been full of fun and frivolity for all of us. We are planning big things for next year. September 28, 1936—A great day has arrived for the boys. Jane Taylor has been imported from Grandview. Let’s get more like her. December 28, 1936—We beat Grandview 23-22. 'Attaboy, Faught; you showed them. February 13, 1937—Ah! Our Sophomore Flop initiated North Hall. Where were all the lovers? Boys, we need more romance. March 20, 1937—Arlington becomes State Basketball Champs. Class B. Wood work. What about a holiday, Mr. Jones? On our first day of school Marjorie Sanborn went home at recess with a case of homesickness. The girls welcomed a newcomer, Laura Lee Pfenning, bangs and all. In the third grade already. Ross, don’t you know it isn’t nice to sneak up behind the girls and kiss them? For a good, hearty laugh, look at the 1931 annual to see all the little, pretty misses. At last we’re grown up. Just think! Going to school in the BIG building. The girls certainly had something on the boys this year. We never had to stand out in the hall during our morning story—at least, hardly ever. The girls can really be proud of themselves now, wearing those S pins. How can we girls get anywhere this way— or is it the school’s idea to put all us girls in one room? High school at last! Let’s hope we have all been repaid for our hard work. Won’t those gold footballs look nice dangling from our chains? The majority of the girls haven’t changed in the past four years, but judging from her class picture, it’s a good thing Flo is an exception. Remember those bangs? Our freshman year completed and all is still well— few hearts broken and those were easily mended. Mary, Sue, and Paddle are all making more competition. It isn’t fair—we girls have a hard enough time as it is. We girls helped to win that game—I’m still a little hoarse from cheering. Our first social activity and what a flop—we do mean that Sophomore Hop. Music, atmosphere, what more do you boys want? Boys, we are honestly proud of you for your achievements in basketball. We knew you could win that Class B State Championship. Page Thirty-two June 4, 1937—I never realized it before, but we have some handsome boys in our class. Take your 1937 “Norwester and see Zart’s, Cl. Heath’s and Deaton’s pictures. Another year gone, but it’s full of pleasant memories. September 13, 1937—School opens with two new teachers, Mr. Hush and Miss Tyson. Boys, Miss Tyson is certainly easy to look at. Am I right? November 18, 1937 Football banquet for another undefeated team. Our Pete Sayers was elected captain for next year. It seems our junior boys had a lot to do with it. March 8, 1938—The Junior Class Play brought out the talent of our young actors. Tommy and all the rest did a fine job. March 29, 1938—Gold basketballs given to the boys for their fine work. Some of the fellows didn’t have them long. What a woman's smile can do. May 14. 1938—With Karl Hood’s music the jitterbugs had a real chance to show what they could do. Oh, me! September 12, 1938—This begins our last year and happiest year at Arlington High. We will do everything to make this year complete. November, 1938—Our boys lost two football games this year, but we’re still proud of you. boys. April 1, 1939—Six girls and five boys took the Senior Scholarship Test. For Once the hoys did better than the girls. April 3, 1939—A splendid banquet was given in honor of our Central District B Basketball Champions. The stories of Mr. Heischman, Jimmy Hull, and Dr. Wilce were side-splitting. That pact was positively a great idea—thanks. Sellers. May 6, 1939—Again our class sent its scholars to the District-State Scholarship Tests. We have scholars as well as athletes in this year’s class. May 12, 1939—The Senior Class Play was presented tonight. It seems this class also has dramatic talent. This is some graduating class. May 26. 1939—Those seniors who have no exams are free today. For the others, the worry is just beginning. June 2, 1939—The boys in their white suits made an inspiring scene. I think the boys should dress up often; some are really handsome. So-long. everybody. Our last activity is the best. This dance, the Senior-Junior, will surpass all others. Everybody, have a good time, please. Good luck to all future graduating classes. The end of our sophomore year already. How time does tty! Today we went through that regular first day school routine. Once again the girls stood in the background while the boys received football honors. Mr. McCullough’s play, Little Miss Fortune , was quite a success, especially that last scene. Gold footballs, basketballs, and track shoes—there are plenty to go around, so let’s get busy, girls. Tonight we honored our seniors with a dinner-dance which means that their time is nearly up. We certainly do hate to see them go, don’t we—Chas anti Reed? The girls promise to do their share of the work too, to make their last year of high school a successful and happy one. This year all records were broken since more girls than ever before took footballs and pins. Some gave them back just as quickly, though. Which was started first—socialism, fascism, or communism? Your guess is as good as ours was. Oh, well! We had our pictures taken anyway. Boys, it seems as though your heinies and big talk let you down, but we know you did your best. Few people hear of the girl athletes but on scholarship day the girls really shine. 10 to 2 in the National Honor Society. Congratulations. Miss Tyson! Now we don’t have to go to see Mickey Rooney, with an Andy Hardy of our own right here. Today we can all feel repaid for our long tedious hours of studying. No more classes, but we’ll be back often. All high school honors, fun. and books closed in memory forever. Good luck to you, underclassmen, and we sincerely hope that your days at Arlington High will mean as much to you as ours have meant to us. At this, our last dance, the girls will look swell in their pastel formals—I still think we did the right thing by not choosing white sport dresses. Anti so goodbye, dear diary; it has been fun. The Boy—Tom Wuichet. The Girl—Helene Tefft. Pa c Thirty-three SEATED—Joan Hohenstine, Patsy Robbins, Marjorie Garvin, Marjorie Sanborn, Jean Hershberger, Martha Rosencrans, Susan Stoltz. STANDING—Bob Reed, Ernestine Althoff, Kenneth Morgan, Virginia West, Sue Coulter, Julia Benbow. ANNLAL SUff 'Twas 'way back in March in the year thirty-nine— (One day it would snow and the next day be fine) — The seniors did swear that by hook or by crook. We’d finish by June this, our memory book. The big business manager, Robert L. Reed, Dashed to and from town in his little tan steed To plot and to plan and to contract and such— To see that we wouldn't get gypped very much. Our Susan and Patsy each day worked like mad On character sketches for each of the grads, While Kenneth and Martha would take pen in hand To laud our athletics through all of the land. The art staff then started to trim and to glue— (’Twas Julia and Sue and Joan in that crew.) On big cardboard pages they pasted the prints— How wild-eyed and nervous they've been ever since! The typewriters tapped with a rhythmical tune As deadlines came running, it seemed, much too soon. But Ernie and Marge typed with all of their might So copy was sent to the printer's just right. At last after Jean and Virginia had slaved For hours to see that the dummy behaved. The book neared completion, was finished, and then The editor, Margie, could breathe once again.

Page Thirty-seven THE SECTLIGHT The senior girls, under the capable instruction of Miss Ogan, have been unusually active in sports during the year of 1938-39. Hockey took the fall spotlight as speedball was left entirely to the underclassmen. To start the ball rolling, a “shin-slamming hockey demonstration was presented at the October G. A. A. meeting. By October 29, we had a “crack senior team which emerged victorious at a hockey playday held on the University School Field. St. Marys. C. S. G., Grandview, and University also participated. November 14 the Arlington seniors met Grandview on the latter’s field. It was a hard game, as are all games played between these two strong rivals; but the Arlington girls had what it takes” and scored a 3 to 1 victory. The senior all-high team in hockey included Marge Sanborn, Marilyn Johnson, Jean Davis, Florence Parker, Virginia Hunsicker, Helene Tefft, Jean Hershberger, Betty Hall, Amy Leonard, Laura Lee Ffening, and Martha Rosencrans. Previously we have not included swimming in our fall spotlight, but this year Jean Hershberger, Marge Sanborn, Amy Leonard. Martha Rosencrans, and Helen Ann Boles, an underclassman, represented Arlington in a swim meet held at University School. Girls from Bexley, University, Grandview, and Arlington were present. Arlington came through with flying colors, once more the victor. • • To start the girls thinking of basketball, a demonstration was given at the December G. A. A. meeting. It was not long until basketball held a major place in the winter spotlight. However, it wasn’t until March 4, that we attended the first playday at the Grandview gym. Teams from North. Grandview, University, St. Marys, and Arlington were present. Defeat came to our Senior A team early in the day. The team—consisting of Jean Hershberger. Marge Sanborn. Jean Davis. Virginia Hunsicker, Martha Rosencrans, and Carolyn Merriman, captained by Helene TetTt—met St. Marys, and after an arduous battle, lost by only one basket. At the same time the Senior B team met Grandview, whom they defeated, and then University High, whom they also vanquished. We can really depend on that Senior B team—Florence Parker, captain, Laura Lee Pfening, Suzan Stoltz, Betty Hall, Amy Leonard, and Ernestine AlthotL Had the A team won, they were scheduled to meet the city champs from North High. On March 15. both North and Arlington were invited to Grandview. where they clashed! Our girls made an excellent showing against these champs, being defeated by only four points. They also met Grandview that afternoon and swamped them 10 to 0. Caesar and Napoleon had their downfalls, and so did this Senior A team when they met the Sophomore A team in the school intramurals. The first game between these two teams came out a tie. The second game was lost by six points, made in the last minutes of play. The Senior B team again took up the colors and bore them proudly. After having conquered two Sophomore B teams, and a Freshman B team, they became the Arlington Class B Champs. Basketball honors went to twelve seniors this year: Helene Tefft, Marge Sanborn, Laura Lee Pfening, Florence Parker, Jean Hershberger, Martha Rosencrans, Jean Davis, Amy Leonard, and Virginia Hunsicker. Honorable mention went to Betty Hall and Carolyn Merriman. • • Soon after basketball was in full swing, the less active sport, ping-pong, got under way February 16 with Virginia West as its capable head. Although countless players of ability entered, the senior class' own Marge Sanborn conquered them all and is now our table-tennis queen. • � • On March 15 all minds were not occupied with sports. In the Arlington auditorium, a very thrilling and impressive puppet show. “The Adventures of Abigail”, was presented. Joan Hohenstine as Abigail and the hero, and Julia Benbow as the father and the villain were loudly cheered and hissed in their turns by a wide-eyed crowd of youngsters. • • The spotlight left winter sports to focus on baseball. the most popular spring sport. The prospects looked good as the senior girls, with baseballs and bats, hurried onto the practice field for the first time. Betty Hall. Jean Hershberger. Florence Parker, Lana Sanor. Virginia Hunsicker. Martha Rosencrans, Marilyn Johnson, and Virginia West eagerly awaited scheduled meets with their rivals, Grandview and University. • ♦ As warm weather came, tennis drew many girls to the courts. With Marge Sanborn, Jean Davis, and Virginia Hunsicker as able leaders, we made a fine showing. Scheduled were two games with University—the first on our courts May 12, and the second on their courts May 19; and two games with Grandview—the first May 16. and the second May 23. We were represented in both singles and doubles. • • Individual sports also entered into the spotlight. Track was well represented by Jean Hershberger, Amy Leonard. Florence Parker, and Laura Lee Pfening. These girls participated in the spring meet which was held on our field in May.

The winds blew somewhat harder, tossing them around. The once warm breath of summer now was chilled and cool. The kids from ’round the village started back to school. The outlook, though quite dull, was brightened by the thought: When football season comes they’ll find the fun they sought. The brilliant students, players too, were all inspired the same. They sought to smite their foes and glorify their name. The morn of practice broke one day; the boys turned out en masse. They donned their dirty practice clothes and ran out on the grass. The sun was hot, the air was still; but did these huskies fret? They didn’t yell, they didn’t fret, but whew! how they did sweat. Now here’s where Larks is in his prime; he glories like a king. The fellows sweat and wish out loud, “Oh death, where is thy sting!” They run and twist and pant and groan until their muscles ache. But Larks sits down upon the grass and lets the others bake. And Heischman too is somewhat lax. at least, to say the most. He jumped around a couple times and let the fellows roast. I would not swear but this 1 think: it made them fairly weep, For there were Larks and Heischman. lying fast asleep. As weeks wore on the boys progressed; they looked more like a squad. They ran and plunged and bucked and blocked and really tore the sod. Their eyes were bright; their hearts were set on winning every game. For now they had the power though the team was not the same. (Continued on page 46) FOOTBALL Although faced by the loss of many brilliant let-termen, the Golden Bears, coached by Mr. Larkin and Mr. Heischman, and captained by Pete Sayers, lived up to the enviable records set by its predecessors. After marching triumphantly through their first six contests, chalking up impressive victories in each one. Arlington came upon a couple of stone walls in Bexley and Grandview. The mainstays of this year’s fine team were Bus Gruesser. Bob Ives. Ed Zartman, Pete Sayers, Jack Wilce, Bob Reed. Ed Sampson, Dick Bell, and George Heath. We were very unfortunate in losing Guy Peterson after he had played in only a few games. Many other players, too numerous to mention, appeared in Arlington's lineup, sharing with their teammates all the glory due them. FOOTBALL BANQUET The annual football banquet, honoring the squad, was held at Scioto Country Club. The affair was managed as successfully by Mr. D. B. Sayers as his son had captained the team. Mr. Larkin awarded the letters to his players. The senior lettermen were Willis Hodges. Howard Nudd. Ed Sampson, Ed Zartman. Bob Ives, Jack Wilce, Pete Sayers, Bus Gruesser, Bud Jaeger. Dick Bell, Bob Pitton. Charles Heath, George Heath. Charles Carlson, Bob Reed. Ted Miller, and Fred Hall. Pete Sayers announced that Dan Dupler had been chosen as captain for the 19-10 squad. There was dancing to the music of Larry Stember and his orchestra from 9:30 to 12:30. Page Forty-one iviKCr.vj FIRST ROW—Ed Sampson, Jack Sellers, Tom Wuichet, Jack Wilce, Ed Zartman, Ross Allen. SECOND ROW—Mr. Heischman, Dick Lorey, Gordon Rosencrans, Jim Wilce, Bill Heath, Reed McClelland, Mr. Larkin. CASI ETDALL Page Forty-two BASKETBALL Handicapped by lack of size, but assisted by sturdy, aggressive play, the Upper Arlington 1938-39 basketball team produced another record for which they have become well known. After trying for several weeks to find a successful starting combination, Mr. Heischman finally decided on Jack Sellers and Ed Zartman as forwards, Jack Wilce as center, and Tom Wuichct and Ross Allen as guards. Jack Wilce and Tom Wuichet were elected co-captains before the season opened. This starting quintet was ably supported at all times by Ed Sampson, Dick Lorey, Bill Heath, Jim Wilce, and Gordon Rosencrans. After a shaky start Arlington chalked up fourteen consecutive victories before they lost to a superior Belle-fontaine team. Going on to the district tournament, Arlington successfully defended its crown for the third successive year by walking over five opponents. In the first game of the state tournament Arlington was set back by Rittman. Their record showed nineteen wins and two defeats. The initial game of the season was a family affair. The Heischman brothers, Walter and Ray, are coaches of the opposing teams, Arlington and Worthington. Although there was quite a struggle, Arlington triumphed 17 to 12. In their next two games the Bears tallied 29 to 16, and 45 to 22 victories over Grove City and Canal Winchester, respectively. Continuing, Arlington engaged Grandview on their rival’s court. After trailing 12 to 5 at the end of the first half, Arlington's defense and offense clicked, and they won 24 to 15. Traveling to London, the Golden Bears walloped the London squad 40 to 9. At Milliards, Arlington turned in their most decisive performance of the season by turning back the home team 46 to 11. Returning to their home floor for the first time since the Worthington game. Arlington, true to form, defeated a Liberty Union five by a 27 to 20 score. After a slow start Arlington emerged victorious over a determined Marysville team by a 39 to 24 count. In their next game Arlington encountered a great Bexley squad. However, aided by their most sparkling defensive play of the season, Arlington scored a 21 to 18 victory. The following Saturday the Bears won from a Plain City quintet 34 to 15. On Cirdeville’s floor, Arlington romped over the home five to the tune of 33 to 12. For our next game we entertained a Loekland team. Arlington was not a very good host, because we convincingly trounced Loekland 39 to 24. The second Arlington-Grandview game was a repeat performance of the first, except it was more exciting. This time Grandview led 16 to 6 at the half, but Arlington rallied its forces in the second half and handed Grandview a 30 to 28 defeat. Our next victim was London whom we outclassed 38 to 20. The final game of our schedule resulted in our first defeat. In this game with a tall Bellefontaine outfit, the Golden Bears came out on the short end of a 36 to 27 score. CLASS B DISTRICT BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT At the start of the tournament, the Arlington team, which had copped the district championship for the last two years, was rated inferior to several teams. Arlington, however, proved its mettle by coming through unscratched. Arlington made its bid successful by compiling 33 to 17, 41 to 24. 36 to 21, 29 to 19, and 22 to 19 victories over Worthington, Pleasant Township, Marysville, Lancaster St. Marys, and Amanda, respectively. The finals between Amanda ami Arlington was a nip-and-tuck affair throughout. Arlington’s victory enabled them to proceed to the State Tournament. Wuichet and Wilce made the first team and Allen and Zartman made the second team of the Central District All-Star team. STATE CLASS B BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Arlington’s first round opponent in the State Class B Basketball Tournament was a strong Rittman squad. In a game which required an overtime period to settle it, neither team clicked offensively. Late in the second half Arlington rallied bravely but saw its efforts go in vain when Rittman sank a basket in the sudden death overtime period. Rittman won. 23 to 21. THE 1939 BASKETBALL BANQUET For the first time in several years, the annual basketball banquet was thrown open to the public. Limited to 200 persons, the banquet was held in the gymnasium, the scene of the team’s many triumphs. Mr. Wuichet, as toastmaster, presented the guests and speakers. Although the members of the squad were disappointed when they learned that their gold basketballs had not arrived, they managed to put on their best smiles and receive their letters from Mr. Heischman. The lettermen were co-captains Jack Wilce and Wuichet. Allen, Zartman, Sampson, Lorey, Sellers, Heath, Jim Wilce, and Rosencrans. Managers McClelland and Held also received letters. Bill Heath received the captaincy for next year. The banquet was closed by speeches by Doctor Wilce. Mayor Geis-singer. Coach Olsen of Ohio State, and Jimmy Hull, complimenting both the team and coaches. Page Forty-three FIRST ROW—Gruesser, Schmidt, J. Wilce, Ives, E. Minor, Peterson (Capt.), C. Heath. G.

TR icr Track, a sport which is rapidly gaining favor in the hearts of all Arlington fans, looked forward to another successful season. The 1939 Arlington track team had a schedule of very tough and outstanding foes. Although the Bears were considerably weakened by the loss of many brilliant lettermen. they still had line material contending for the various berths on the squad. The track team was as fortunate in having Guy Peterson return to school as the football team was unfortunate in having him leave. Peterson was captain of this year’s squad. Other stars competing for Arlington were Gruesser, Schmidt, Wilce. G. Heath, C. Heath, Nudd. and J. Allen. Page Forty-four GOLF 1939 TRACK SCHEDULE For the first time in several years, Arlington's golf squad had bright prospects for a successful season. The team, coached by Mr. Heischman, had four returning lettermen: Ed Zartman, Ed Sampson, Fred Hall, and Dick Barr. Several other boys competed for these posts. Mr. Heischman, considering that a captain would contribute to a more efficient team, decided that there should be an election for captain. The lettermen voted Ed Zartman captain. Our schedule consisted of our regular city league opponents and other worthy outside foes. The city league schedule was as follows: April 1 April 8 April 15.. April 22 April May May May June 29 6. 13. 27 3 West Bexley Aquinas ..Central East Grandview Academy ..South North We also played two matches each with Granville, Worthington, and Circleville. OUR BUCKET TEAM This year we had a bucket team, Who played with grace and skill; They’d shoot so much that it would seem They never had their fill. The team was a cocksure bunch. Each one thought he was best. But somehow when the game was close They always stood the test. The players all had nicknames. Like Blockhead”, X and Wu”, Sloppy Slim and “One Man Team”, And there was Slugger” too. There was little J” and big J”, Even Soupy” was another; And there was Mr. Heischman Who acted as the mother. They defeated every team they played. Until Bellefontaine came; ’Twas then they met their downfall Though their spirit stayed the same. They entered in the district. Were undefeated there; But when the state meet came along. They lost out by a hair. The boys were never beaten Until the game was through, And so to all you members Here's a big salute to you.

TENNIS Confronted by the loss of two outstanding letter-men, this year’s tennis team had many difficult problems to solve. From last year’s team there were four returning lettermen: George Pack, Tom Wuichet, Ed Shaffer, and Ray Hoddy. George Pack was captain and Pal Shaffer, playing manager. Mr. Larkin contracted a very interesting schedule. Arlington played almost every school in the city. THE SPOTLIGHT (Continued from jmge JS) Carolyn Merriman represented the Arlington seniors in both archery and golf. She met her archery competition at University, her golf opponents on the Arlington course. Laura Lee Pfening was in charge of the rather new but popular activity, horse-back riding, with the efficient help of Helen Merriman. an underclassman. • • The Girls’ Athletic Association banquet was held at school on April 13. A’s were awarded to Betty Hall, Virginia Hunsicker, Florence Parker, Amy Ia?onard, and Myrna Smith, an underclassman. G.A.A. emblems went to Martha Rosencrans, and to underclassmen Joyce Tetft, Mary Jean Tice, Nancy Howe, and Ruth Goodwin. Awards were given to the members of the all-high teams. Special awards, never before given, went to the four girls earning the most points this year. These four were Marge Sanborn, Jean Hershberger, Nancy Bottman, and Laura Lee Pfening. Officers of G.A.A. this year were president, Jean Hershberger; secretary, Virginia Forsythe; and treasurer, Marilyn Johnson. At an assembly later in the year, honor awards for earning more points in their four years than the other girls in their classes were presented to Jean Hershberger, who had a total of 1415 points, and Marge Sanborn, who had a total of 1117 points. Martha Rosencrans. Page Forty-five OlTR SEASON SPIRIT (Continued from page 41) At last our boys were due to play their first game of the year. This would prove if they were good and show them what to fear. The day was hot; the crowd was large; the boys were feeling swell. They all were slightly nervous then but soon the time would tell. St. Marys was the team they played; they played them here at home. The battle raged for quite some time and churned up quite a foam. The gun went off; the sun went down. The boys had had their fun. They piled up points of twenty-five and gave St. Marys none. The gift of worldly confidence had lent its mighty hand To guide them down the schedule, this stalwart little band. The next game they would play, with Westerville their foes. Would surely be a tough one till the final whistle blows. The day was bright. Their boys were tough. The game was played with vim. They ran and blocked from goal to goal; they both were out to win. Again the Bears had shown their teeth. They kept their rating clean. They waxed those boys from Westerville by nothing to fourteen. London came upon our field and took our challenge here. They came to crack our winning streak; our faces they would smear. Determined as they were they got an awful smack. When twenty-six to nothing kinda set old London back. So far, so good—they’d come their way but could they keep it up? With Larks and Heischman, students too, they hoped to win the cup. With all this backing anyone could show up pretty good. And so our boys were ready now to win just like they should. Our boys were next with Rosary; she fell before their drive. She fell all right, but not before six points had she derived. Both teams were playing topnotch ball; they plunged and fought and mixed. Our boys, the cream, piled up fourteen and they, the skim, had six. The next game they were due to play, was played way far away. The team went to Urbana where they plunged into the fray. They fought beneath the shining light, their first game played by night. The way they fought those 'Bana boys sure made things twice as bright. Although their team was not so fast, they sure were larger built. This proved to them to be quite bad; our boys just made them wilt. The points compiled; the game was o’er; there was a heavy side. Nineteen to nothing was the score; by this they did abide. Grove City was the next they played; the squad was sure they’d win. They planned to pile up points enough to let the subs get in. But as the battle tore the field, Grove City proved quite tough. Our boys had won by seven points, but gosh! the way was rough. This kind of made them think a bit; they almost met defeat. Especially with the time so near when Bexley they would meet. The date was set a week away; each practice hummed with might. For if they were to win that game they’d really have to fight. The day had finally come; the Lions roared and scratched. The Bears showed all their teeth and claws; the teams were quite well matched. A game of blood was this array of flying cleats and feet. The final score was seven there; our boys had met defeat. Of course this was a sorry blow and made us feel quite sad. It wasn’t just because we’d lost; it was the way we had. Fate had had the upper hand; it flung a mighty stroke. The string of wins we’d pieced together all went up in smoke. And so at last we came upon the finish of the year, A finish marked by one last game that brought out many tears. We played those snarling Grandview Cats; our foes from long ago. We're sure our boys were just as tough, but luck had proved our foe.

NATURE’S HOME The beach is white and fine and clean. And has no dirt nor grime. It’s strong with beauty seldom seen In cities choked with crime. It’s set with low and shadowed fells. And dotted here and there With bits of moss and tiny shells Of species vast and rare. The surf is pounding, roaring up. Its breakers wash the sand; Recede again into the blue To join its massive band. It churns around upon the shore And bubbles up in foam. It murmurs tales of long before. It’s nature’s lovely home. Bob Ives. “FIREMAN. SAVE MY CHILD!” The Annual Staff play, directed by Bob Reed, proved to be a stirring melodrama of the He Ain’t Done Right By Nell type, with a heroine who was more persecuted than usual, the most despicable villain who has ever been hissed off the boards and a manly hero with a wavering tenor voice. This villain, Archibald Quingle (George Heath), went others of his kind one better by hypnotizing his victims into such a state that they agreed to do his bidding, come what might! One of his many victims was the gloomy Quingle maid, Myrtle (Jane Taylor). Of course the innocent heroine, little Daisy (Helene Tefft), the fairest of all woodland flowers, was the special target of Archibald’s machinations. Naturally the arch fiend proposed to the proud heroine; but she loves our noble hero, Chester (Bus Grues-ser), thereby causing Archie to do a little extra dirty work involving the innocent Chettie. Mrs. Sally Cross-bury (Jane Shannon), the village gossip, amused everyone with her everlasting prattle to Daisy’s mother, Nancy Martin, while Bing Barnes (Ross Allen), a camera fiend, was the funny feller. Mary Lawson (Sue Coulter), a bookkeeper, upsets Archie's plans, causing him to retreat, twisting his mustache and hissing, “Curses, foiled again! Page Forty-seven IN FUTURUM (Continued from jutye 24) ir. beautiful entertainer. Sue Coulter, hat check girl, Hazel Fitz-Henry, and cigarette girl. Mary Mulhol-land. The jury looked almost human, when the witness described the effect on Hodge’s companions of the new cannon-ball cocktail, a patent formula prepared by the club’s research expert. Bob Nadalin. Those watching the jury box were delighted to see the sly nudges which passed between the prim Latin teacher. Miss Laura Lee Pfening and her fellow-juror, Virginia West. Colonel Guy Peterson and Charlie Heath, the local answer to all maidens' prayers, exchanged meaningful glances behind the backs of the two surreptitious ladies while the foreman, Deekin Bell, rocked in silent laughter as he recalled his own unfortunate experience with the famous cannon-ball. At the mere mention of a cocktail a shocked look passed across the face of jurist Marilyn Johnson, the Salvation Army Street Singer, but her distress soon faded as the charming witness continued her story. Before finishing her statements. Miss Sanor had included the names of many other women with whom Hodges had seemed enamored. Understanding smiles showed upon the faces of numerous listeners as such names as Jean Hershberger, Olympic diving star; Virginia Hunsicker, international stylist; and Susan Stoltz, world explorer, were mentioned. After the attorney for the defense had taken Miss Sanor over for cross-examination, he was suddenly interrupted by one very excited plaintiff who shouted several words which the listeners could not hear because of the reigning confusion. Before Miss Parker’s attorney was able to quiet her or even to discover the cause of the disturbance, the case had been taken entirely out of his hands by the defendant. After a few moments together, Hodges persuaded the judge to clear the courtroom. Reporters, including Amy Leonard, from the Saturday Star , and Pauline Fairfax” McN’eal and Raymond Hoddy from The Gazette besieged the judge for an explanation of the sudden disturbance. She quickly brushed them aside and motioned the remaining group into her chamber. Once inside hasty plans were made for a wedding. The judge called and made arrangements for a license with Betty Hall, secretary to Clerk Dick Alexander of the matrimonial bureau while Hodges hastily notified several of their close friends. Half an hour later the ceremony was carried out in the presence of three secretaries, Jean Warner, Ruth Winders, and Carolyn Merriman, whom Hodges had gathered from adjoining offices for witnesses. The ceremony was completed as Judge Robbins' personal secretary, Helene Tefft, handed the couple their final marriage credentials. The newlyweds hurried from the room, knocking down the scrub woman. Annette Stout, who had observed the proceedings from a grandstand seat at the keyhole. The couple hastened to the taxi driven by Ed Zartman who had engaged Ross Allen, a newspaper boy of the Communist Weekly, to decorate the cab. The roar of the engine drowned out sounds of a quarrel as they departed for their honeymoon at Hohenstine-Benbow Hotel in Florida. • That evening two down-trodden janitors, Pete Sayers and Bus Gruesser, swept out the last remnants of one of the most unusual trials in the history of law which had included in its general scope all the members of the Upper Arlington class of 1939. Nancy Martin, Pete Sayers, Bus Gruesser. OlIR SEASON SPIRIT (Continued front page 46) The crowd was tense; the ball was placed, then Grandview was to kick. They kicked the ball; it bounded low; it hit the ground too quick. It must have touched a player as it skimmed along the ground, For when it rolled into the zone their man had touched it down. It proved to be the only score that came throughout the game. For both the teams were held at bay and both had played the same. I’m sure the boys were satisfied that they were just as good. Even though the score read not exactly how it should. And so the brilliant days of fun drift on into the past. But still the spirit of those days remains here hard and fast. It never leaves; it hangs like mist and works upon our heart. It whispers back the names of those who did their gallant part. Bob Ives. Page Forty-eight Page Forty-nine 4LT0GCAPH
