' 'cnnG Konold eahcafion We dedicate this book to the boys and girls of our class who have entered or are about to enter the service of their country, with the hope that it will keep fresh for them and for uslthe memory of the full, happy years of school which we shared together. 0I 8 WOI' As we leave Arlington High School early in Iune, there will be many among our adult friends who will pity us because we are entering the world at a time of terrible strife, when the old systems and standards which they knew and came to look upon as essential are crumbling all about them. By previous standards we are at a complete disad- vantage. Our education is disrupted and delayed, and We have no way of planning for the future. The creari of our young men-the intelligent, fearless, farsighted leaders of tomorrow-who could build a new world out of the shambles of today, may come back incapable of further service to their country, or they may not return at all. From this view point the picture seems hopeless. A far different future shines before our eyes. Perhaps this is the per- petual optimism of youth, perhaps it is only the result of a desperate need to have faith in the coming of a new and better day. Our vision is that of a truly free and peaceful world, where we can fulfill our ambitions and our dreams, and where our children can take their places in the world family without first having to repeat our struggle for the very existence of that world. The world which we build will have for its foundation the basic principles of tolerance, cooperation, dependability, and honesty. All the equipment which we can boast for participation in' such a society we owe to our homes, schools, and community. Parents, teachers, and friends have given us the tools with which to reconstruct our lives, and as we leave them now, we want them to know that we have leamed the lessons well. We, of all people, are not insensible to the misery and horror of these days. Yet in spite of the terrible tragedy, we thank God that we are living in these great times: that we can have our share in putting to flight the powers of Darkness. We will be forever grateful that our roots go deep into the soil of democratic principles and that we can face whatever the future may hold with unpreiudiced minds, eager hearts, and cot .rageous souls. .xgofminidfrafion ' VM IVAN W. DAVIS Principal lvan W. Davis, who majored in secondary education at Ohio State University, has been in the Arlington schools as lonq as any of the present students can remember. He tirst entered this school system as an elementary teacher and has risen steadily since that time to elementary principal and hiqh school teacher, until at the present time his position is that oi hiqh school principal and assistant superintendent. One year he also coached the football team during a prolonged absence ol the athletic coach. Mr. Davis believes that a school should be a place Where a student becomes happier, wiser, more human, more useful, and more cooperative because of his contact with the school. lt should also have an orderly, quiet atmosphere in which students are qiven the opportunity to do some serious and constructive thinking. Over the years he has worked consistently to carry out these principles in our school. O. E. HILL Superintendent O. E. Hill, a qraduate ot Columbia University in the fields of secondary, elementary, and finance administration ot the public school, has had a varied experience as teacher, iunior and senior liiqh school principal, city superintendent, and two years as Assistant State Director of Education. l-le believes that the practice ot democratic principles in a school is of paramount importance, for ii tlio fierno- cratic institutions of this country are to be maintained, they must be taught to the younq people ot the nation not .by lectures, but included in all educational activities. Mr. l-lill contends that the school should be the center of community activity, and should be the leader in suvli projects as recreation anti adult education, as well as the academic proaram tor the students. 'llie responsibility ot the school is to survey its community as to the needs ot its students and to formulate and adlust its curriculum to meet these needs.

Russel Glass Bernice Rea Thelma Beelman STUDENT GOVERNMENT. SEATED: Gulden, l-Iarder. STANDING: Brandt, Konold, Lovett The purpose of the Student Council as defined in the constitution is as follows: 1. to promote and encourage pupil initiative and responsibility. 2. to develop a harmonious faculty relationship. 3. to stimulate cooperative student participation in school government and affairs. 4. to coordinate school activities for the promo- tion of the general welfare of the school and community. In carrying out this purpose, the Council is only a partial success unless in so doing it receives cooperation from the student body through their interest and participation in their government. Legislation which originates in the Council and is passed for the good of the school is not half so effective as that which arises from the need of the student body and becomes an act OFFICERS . . . President BILL KONOLD . . . IOHN LOVETT .... . . . Vice-President KENT BRANDT . , . . . Treasurer HELEN HARDER .... . . . Secretary WILLIAM GULDEN . . . Faculty Adviser through the demand of the student body. The average person is content to let the Council and school function independently of them. This is a false philosophy for the Council would not be democratic were it not working through the members of the student body. The Council follows through this purpose by having its legislation publicized as much as possible and by encouraging the constructive criticism of its policies by the student. ln this way they stimulate student participation in school government. The purpose of the Student Council works hand in hand with the purpose of the school by encouraging the student to gain poise socially, to think constructively, and to share the respon- sibility of the well being of his neighbor. Bill Konold, Student Council President ..THE STUDENT COUNCIL As far back into the year as last summer the recently elected representatives of the student body were holding meetings of the Student Council. lt was during these summer meetings that the foundation was laid for Upper Arling- ton's greatest venture into student government. The student body was fortunate in having the former Lieutenant Governor of Buckeye Boys' State as president, for in presiding over the senate of Buckeye Boys' State, Bill Konold gained a thorough knowledge of legislative procedure which he conveyed to the other riiornbors of his Council. At the first meeting of the Student Council, Kent Brandt's Library Bill was introduced. Soon this bill was passed and Mr. Davis' signa- turo made it act number one. This bill enabled a student to pass directly to the library from his preceding class without writing the customary oxcuso slip in order to leave a study hall. Through the cooperation of the Student Coun- cil and the Director of Recreation, some type of social affair was held in the high school on almost all week-ends. These activities were in the form of dances, movies and other parties. The Student Council was instrumental in starting a new system of home room organiza- tion. Under this system, home room officers were elected who served to unify student action. Deserving of special Commendation are the committees on assemblies and student affairs. The former joined with a faculty committee to stage a valuable, wellvbalanced series of assem- blies. The latter group acted on more bills than any other committee. They revised many bills, increasing their effectiveness. The constitution was amended so that it would serve as a true guide post of future Student Councils in Upper Arlington. This has been a brief summary of some high points of this year's Council. However, the true test of success is whether or not we have fostered a more democratic living among the members of the student body and between the student body and faculty. We believe that we have met this test. A BILL BECOMES LAW LEFT TO RIGHT: Bill Konold, Sally Charlton, Helen Harder, Charles Lewis, Patty Redman, Dan Minor.

While still holding our mother's apron strings in September, 1932, we sign- ed up in the old wooden school building that stood between the swimming pool cmd Waltham Road. Those of our class that started at Upper Arlington that year were as follows: 5 V., lanet Bailey, Nancy Baker, Iohn Best, Bob Betts, Nancy Briggs, lane Campbell, Mary Campbell, Iack Carruthers, Sally Charles, lim Crane, Mary Lou Dumbauld, Bob F idler, Peaches Geohagan, Betsy Grossman, Lou Halley, Ed Hamilton, Sarah Heming, Martha Hobart, David Iohnson, Kiehner Iohnson, Katherine Ioseph, lack Leifeld, Charles Lewis, Robert Masters, loanne Parker, Peggy Parker, Sally Parker, Mary Pollard, Marion Sanbom, Ioy Schmidt, David Williams, Monny Bennett. As we started our schooling in the barracks of Old Camp Willis of the Spanish war, we certainly never pictured ourselves twelve years later in the barracks of another war. We spent most of our time those first years racing for the swings and teeter board at recess and standing in Miss Shedan's waste basket. ln the fourth grade we made our first venture into the drama with a production of the operetta, The Land of Make Believe. Remember those rows of crepe paper daisies and roses? Sounded like a windstorm backstage. After four years we were sent into the big building, as we had longingly referred to it. That same year the community built us a new gymnasium and an auditorium. The next year, our last in grade school, was saddened by the loss of one of the class's most respected mem- bers, Dick Unckrich. Our two years in junior high sped by quickly. During the fall you could always find us boys playing football in Miller's Park. Poss- ibly it was there that part of the foundation for our team of 1943 was laid. It seems as if that was about the period we fellows began to be seen in the company of the better half of our OW class. Why, we didn't even consider a guy one of the gang unless he could chin himself from the balcony of Carol McCullough's living room. Gosh. Hairless loe, Ah'm gettin' kinda all choked up. Reckin' maybe mah hand-writin' assistant Daisie Ilawgmeat. better take over . . . Like newly born babies we blinked our eyes and awoke to the reality of life cs we plunged into our first bewildering year of high school. Our officers that first year were president, Dan Carmackg vice president, Dan Pratt: secretary, Martha Schenk, and treasurer, lim Crane. Faithfully we attended every football game, every basketball game, every track meet, and in general, tried to emulate the almighty seniors that we hoped to be someday. Of course there were times when we slipped up a little, when our restrained feelings burst like balloons: for instance, the blackjack games with I. Bailey Bush after classy eraser fights in good old 120, and dodging the evil eyes of the monitors, then stationed throughout the halls. That was the era when we girls first leamed about saddle shoes and wore our sweaters buttoned up the back. Our Iunior Hi-Y team snared the city basketball trophy. Strange and curious new words were introduced to us by Miss Schultz: pulchra puella became a common phrase upon our lips. This was also the first year that we had any experience with a minstrel show . . . remember the girls' horrible orange costumes, , orange canes and Let's All Sing Together? An- ,fp other memory of our fresh- man year was that of Ianie Miller's form sailing by the mf ground floor windows two minutes before the tardy bell. Those were the days when we had hour periods and much of our time after school was spent in the Detention Room, 229. Eagerly we trod the next stepping stone to graduation. As sophomores, we decided to dis- band our pent-up scruples and really paint the school red! We chose lim Crane, president: Dave Larkin, vice president: Peaches Geohagan, secretary: and Don Brandt, treasurer. On the part of the boys, the Available Iownes Service was formed. Through this organization blind dates were arranged, and Mr. Cavins was christened Roughhouse. Th e Available Iownes' Advertisements of Wetsel and Ashby appeared everywhere on the blackboards, on the back of geometry papers, and anywhere one's eye happened to glance. Iim Crane was the first one of our boys to win a letter this year, with his prowess on the gridiron. It was a few weeks before Christmas that we were suddenly' plunged headfirst into total war with Germany and Iapan. At that time it was hard to visualize any of our friends in uniform. We were quite amazed at the new indirect lighting which was installed in the library that year of '42, Many an aftemoon a group of girls could be seen trekking up to Monny Bennett's house for the sun lamp treatment. Our sophomore year ended with the boys still gaping over Virginia Marriott and the girls following Howard Burkle's every move. With the phrase Gee, we'll be seniors in one more year, we graciously took our place in the eleventh grade. The leadership was tossed into the laps of lim Crane, president: Iohn Lovett, vice president: Don Brandt, secretary, and Kiehner Iohnson, treasurer. Here we encoun- tered the wonders of the chemistry lab and be- came quite skillful at squirting water across the room during class. There were several very confusing days that fall when the boys wore skirts to school and the girls donned overalls and slacks. After try-outs, we proudly donated Mary Lou Dumbauld, Audrey Merkle and Steve Baldwin to the cheer-leading scguad. In the McArthur football game, tackle lack Carruthers snake hipped his way to a beautiful touchdown on a pass interception. This was the year also, that lack Wetherbee, won the Bexley Reserve game for old U. A. H. S. Campaigning against each other for the Student Council presidency, were Charlie Lewis and Bill Konold. Remember the badges, the propaganda pamphlets, and the uproarious assemblies? And then there was our junior class play, One Mad Night. What made it completely mad was Oley Iohnson as Iohn Alden, the infernal machine and Lady MacBeth. We had great plans for our Iunior- Senior Dance . . . and it was a great dance! Many a tulip garden was raided in trying to transform North Hall into the Netherlands fand even then the tulips droopedll. Other things adding to the excitement of the dance were a measles epidemic and the tree' which the boys, with the Arlington police close on their tails, chopped down and contributed for decoration. Towards the end of the year, we experienced the pangs of envy all juniors have towards the seniors, who get excused earlier and do not have exam worries hanging o'er their heads. But later on the pangs were soothed by the thought that in three short months WE would have our homerooms in 226 and 227, and WE would shoo lower classmen out of our way. Hello, you down therel This is the Class of 1944 speaking. But seriously, fellow egotists, there is not a lot that can be said about the feeling one has when one becomes a senior. We shall be kind enough not to describe that feeling, for it is an unwritten tradition that each person finds it out for himself. Our final year started off with a bang. The Queen and her Court, the defeat of Bexley, and the wonderful displays of school spirit helped make the fall season completely successful. Another little helper was the P-47, that green demon of a Model-A, which rumbled its way down Coventry every day to the tune of I hope we make that light, and Doggone, no brakesl These last 12 years have seen many changes, but there are a few things that have re- mained unchanqed: name- ly, the annual stench of H'S from the chemistry laboratory, and the Presi- dent of the United States. l g ' . 4, , lf, Well.

Founded in 1921 at the request of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National Honor Society was organized to recognize outstanding character and academic success in high school students. The Upper Arlington Chapter was activated in April, 1925. Students are rated on the basis oi scholarship, leadership, character, and service by members ot the faculty, and the top fifteen per cent oi each class are awarded membership. Five per cent oi this number may be chosen in their junior yeary the re- maining members are selected at the end of their senior year. The juniors chosen from the class oi 1944 were Mary Lou Dum- bau1d, Katherine Ioseph, Charles Lewis, Iohn Lovett, and Mary Pollard. I, QUILL AND SCROLL We FIRST ROW: Iohnson, M.

Quill and Scroll is the international honorary society for high school journahsts. Members are chosen by the faculty adviser of their school publication, and these nominations are confirmed by the national secretary of the organization. The Arlington chapter, which was installed here in l94O, had lapsed into inactivity. But it was re-established at an evening in- itiation service in February when eight seniors became members. These initiates were Wayne Ashby, Manny Bennett, Mibby Boyd, Mary Lou Dumbauld, Gayla Gerwin, Katherine Ioseph, Kiehner Iohnson, and Mary Pollard. The impressive candle-light service was repeated in late April when ten other members were in- ducted. They included Louise Crafts, lane Griffith, Pamela Geo- hagen, Pat Byrnes, Ioan Meuser, Barbara Saville, Iackie Fullen, Dave Byrnes, Dave Pollard, and Dave Crabtree.

A new Leaders' Class was organized this year since the old organization had outgrown its purpose of guiding the activities of G.A.A. It now includes both boys and girls. The group organized a drive for Russian War Relief and collected the clothes. A list of all the graduates ot Upper Arlington High School was made and the service flag and plaque were brought up to date. The members planned an assembly for a formal dedication of this plaque. Pictures of the last two graduating classes were hung in the hall north of the library. The two most important projects of Leaders' Class were the organizing of a group of Hospital Aids for the University Hospital and editing a handbook for fresh- men and new students.

The activities of the tirst semester included a weekly French Table, where the members ate lunch together and conversed in French, and a Tax Stamp drive. The money collected from this drive was sent to the Free French Relief. In the second semester the members began their study of French art and culture by touring the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, and at one of the afternoon meet- ings they were entertained by the French club at North High School. Business meetings and social gatherings were held monthly .Some of the highlights ot the evening meetings were the movies of France shown at a joint meeting of the Arlington and North High clubs, the French carols sung at the Christmas meeting, and the speech given by a native Frenchwoman who escaped to this country in 1941.

SECOND ROW: johnson, Woodruff, Fidler, Xander, Best OFFICERS BOB FIDLER President CLYDE XANDER Vice-President IOHN BEST Secretary WILFOBD WOODRUFF Treasurer Hi-Y planned its program for this year to carry out the express purpose of the organization- To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. In addition to sponsoring projects of its own, Hi-Y also lent its support to all other worthy school causes. Activities for the 1943-1944 school year were opened in a fall meeting where Superintendent Hill spoke to a gathering of members, their fathers, and faculty. All juniors and seniors and their parents were invited to the next meeting at which the Army and Navy programs were introduced and explained. A square dance was substituted for the traditional Hi-Y Halloween Carnival. Perhaps the biggest activity of the fall was the selling of programs at football games. This project was under the direction of Ferd Wetsel and Kiehner johnson. Hi-Y members worked in collaboration wit.h Girl Reserves on the Thanksgiving and Easter assemblies, and on a highly successful Bond Drive. The Arlington chapter contributed to city-Wide endeavor by working on the greater-Columbus program committee. The club can also boast of being an active participant in several sports, the city bowling, basketball, and baseball leagues all contained Arlington entries. Contrary to practice in previous years, two induction services were held this year. The change was made to bring in more members, and thus to promote greater Hi-Y activity. The cabinet was composed of Ferd Wetsel, program chairman, Dod Brandt, athletic chairman: Kieh- ner johnson, social chairman: Clyde Xander, membership chairman: and Kent Brandt, pub- licity chairman. GIRL RESERVES :gl-4 its try A if--4 'fha I. Campbell, Sawyer, Harder, Benfer Striving always To Find and give the best, the GR's have this year been one of the most active groups around school. With the assist- ance of Martha Morgan, their faculty adviser, Girl Reserves made baby clothes for Free French' Relief and sponsored several dances in North Hall. They also worked with the Hi-Y's in planning the annual Thanksgiving and Easter devotional assemblies. The school's Fourth War l.oanDrive and a leep Drive were other GR Hi-Y projects. These bond drives were opened by ar, assembly featuring a returned veteran, who told many of his ex- periences as a Flying Fortress co-pilot in England and North Africa. The interest created by this assembly sent the leep Drive off to success, and GR sales girls sold 331,925 worth of bonds. GR rneetings were designed to meet the interests of the girls. A hair stylist and a make-up artist were two of several speakers heard during the year. They gave the girls many helpful hints in their interesting talks. Other club activ- ities included a Christmas party for poor children at the Godman Guild Settlement l-louse. FIRST ROW: Fenner, Geohagen, Munsell. SECOND ROW: M. Campbell, Bare, Dawson.

The main extra-curricular activity of the newly- created speech department this year was de- bate. The national high school question Was: Resolved: That the United States should join in reconstructing the League of Nations. For a green team Arlington did considerably well. Practice tournaments were held at Dela- Ware, Upper Arlington, and North High Schools and at Capital University throughout December and Ianuary with various combinations of the above debaters being entered. Finally as a climax the Central Ohio district tournament was staged here at Arlington on February 10 with Bill Lutz, Dave Pollard, Marilyn Barcroft, and Dave Byrnes representing Arlington. They brought us two victories out of four conflicts, and placed us fitth out of eleven. The great improvement ot the team was clearly demonstrated when a group consisting of Carolyn Ulm, Ioan Moore,Lois Sherman, Dave Pollard, and Dave Byrnes walked off with all honors in a tournament at Oakwood High School in Dayton on March ll. Mr. Gibson, the coach, is hopeful tor a win- ning team next year after this year's experience. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFFCERS KATHERINE IOSEPH President MARY LOU DU MBAULD VicefPresident SHIRLEY MUNSELL Treasurer ANNE SCI-INEE Secretary Dumbauld, Schnee, Munsell, Ogan. loseph To start off the year of sports, Ierry Murphy and Iackie Fullen were in charge of the initial activity, hockey. These two girls scheduled games, arranged transportation, and' with the class captains chose the all-high team. After Thanksgiving vacation, all eyes were turned toward basketball. The tournaments this year were under the able direction of VVeezy Sanborn and Dorothy Wilce. All intraclass, interclass, and intramural games as well as play-days with other schools were arranged by these heads. The addition of boys as coaches speeded up the game and instituted something new in girls' sports. The Robison twins, Lois Rubrecht, and Car- olyn Campbell capably handled the table-tennis and ping-pong tournaments. They were in charge of scheduling matches for over two hundred students entered ir. each tournament. Now that all tlie ping-pong tables are in tip top condition, fast games are the prediction for next year. April showers bring May flowers and also volleyball. This year, for the first time, there was genuine interest shown toward this sport. 'Set it up', was the call heard all over the gym. Those in charge of volleyball were Carol Bailey and Mal Lummis. After the showers cease, tennis and baseball come into their own. Ann Schnee led the tennis team to all the games she scheduled for them. Sara I-leming and Nancy Wolfley, with their knowledge of baseball, were in charge of it. As usual there were class elimination matches held. As in hockey there were all-high teams chosen in all other sports, thus giving recogni- tion to the deserving, The proverb, Variety is the spice of life , well applies to the G.A.A. meetings of the past year. Quiz programs, guest speakers, and awards were all offered during the year. The most popular meeting of the year was that held in May in which all awards were given and the officers of next year were announced. Next year the new hockey field may be ready for use, and then the girls won't have to dodge football and boys in order to practice. Thanks to the efforts of Ianet Iordan and the Parker twins, the equipment is in the finest condition possible in wartime. Ulm 1944 WWW. .. SEATED: Bennett, Dumbauld, Pollard, Boyd, Alexander, Gramlich. STANDING: Wetherbee, Ashby, Konold. The l944 NORWESTER staff was selected by a committee including student representatives and the senior faculty adviser, Vera K. Randall. Each person was chosen with care for his abilities and standards. These appointments were confirmed by the entire senior class. Before actual production began on the Nor- wester, the senior class launched into an exten- sive program of sponsoring movies, dances, a skating party ,and a bridge party. The seniors also handled the coke and pretzel concessions at basketball games, and managed the coat- rooms at school social functions. Later the staff got down to real business With stacks of dummy sheets, pencils, rulers, copy paper, and heads full of ideas. Snapshots of athletes, club officers, faculty members, and various club mem- bers participating in A group activities, be- gan to appear on the staff work tables with 6 5 9 Q' wb' increasing frequency. The seemingly end- If less task of mounting these pictures, labeling and identifying them went on for weeks. Copy must be corrected and typed, too. Here and there about the desks and work rooms appeared Available lownes, Concertino Constiata, and Dinsmore lerk, or reasonable facsimiles of said gentlemen done in India ink on stiff mounting board. They and their friends were posted throughout the volume to oversee the yearbook, as they have directed activities of the class of 1944 all during its high school career. The almost endless job was finished thoughg the pictures were taken, the copy typed, the last touch added to sketches and with great relief the staff sent the last material off to the printer. The pro- ' duction of the l944 NORWESTER was a stimulating experi- ence for the staff and a never ending I AA source of surprise and information. e Nx , 5' 4553 VH. 2 33 Mary Pollard Bill Konold Editor-in'Chiel Business Manager Wayne Ashby Editor Literary Editor Art Staff Martha Hobart Pam Geohaqen Beatrice Benter Nancy Baker Helen Cacldell Photography Staff lohn Selby Priscilla Alexander Ianet Iordan Ioanne Parker Steve Sutton Bob Heinzerlinq Katherine Ioseph Sports Staff Marion Sanborn Sarah l-leminq lack Carruthers Iim Crane George Iohnson Mary Lou Dumbauld Manny Bennett lack Wetherbeo Make-up Editor Photography Edito STAFF Business Staff Nancy Briggs lim Crane Dave Iohnson Ferd Wetsel Bob Fidler Sally Parker Caroline Barr lane Bare Dave Williams Dave Larkin Dod Brandt Ed Hamilton lack Carruthers Iim Kepley lack Liefeld Kiehner lohnson Ianet Bailey Make-up Staff Gayla Gerwin Mary Campbell Mlbby Boyd Sybil Gramllch r Art Editor Sports Editor Louise Crafts Betty Meeder Audrey Merkle Suzanne Sims Betsy Grossman Sally Miller Caroline Barr Literary Staff Bob Copelan Harry Waters Charles Lewis Pam Geohaqen Lois Rubrecht Martha Schenk lane Campbell Pat Byrnes Priscilla Alexander X X Gil OZ ' W Lg L e . . .

And under the guidance of Gertrude Mann, the fac- ulty adviser, they went a long way toward reaching this goal. Circulation was greatly increased, and student interest was created and maintained by up-to-the-minute news, corn- plete coverage of school sports, and a wide variety of features. Early in the second semester, a group of juniors took over a large part of the production of the paper. They rotated the important posi- tions so that each one would gain as much experience as possible. The editor and the editorial staff for the 1944-1945 school year were chosen from this group.

The Sycamore living room The Sycamore family of Moss Hart's You Can't Take lt With You , which was this year's junior class play, appeared in Upper Arlington on November 19, 1943. This family really believed in doing what they liked, with no questions asked. They lived a very happy-go-lucky life until Alice fell in love with Tony Kirby, vice president of Kirby and Co. When his socially-minded parents came to the Sycamore house for dinner, many startling events happened. For with Mrs. Sycamore's paintings, Grandpa's snakes, Mr. Kolenkhov's communistic ideas and Mr. Sycamore's fire- works, Mr. and Mrs. Kirby were rather shocked at their son's choice of in-laws. At last Tony's parents came to their senses, though, and the play ends with this thought- and they lived happily ever after. You Can't Take lt With You, was originally a Broadway hit. It won the Pulitzer Prize and in l938 the movie version was voted the best movie of the year. Mr. D. E. Gibson, the director, used a method new to Arlington when he cast his play. He chose complete A and B casts and made changes during any rehearsal, as he saw tit. The night of dress rehearsal the final cast was really definite. Also, as a change from previous years, two seniors were in the production, one in the A cast, the other in the Mr. Gibson feels that if a certain part can be more capably done by someone from another grade, that per- son should be used for the best interests of the production. .HARSENIC AND OLD LACE Tryouts for Arsenic The score was tied at twelve and twelve be- tween Martha and Abby Brewster and their homicidal nephew Ionathanfeat twelve mur- ders! The Brewster family, ot Arsenic and Old Lace and 1944 senior class play fame, just had a flair for such things. Old Mr. Brewster had been a patent medicine salesinan who thought- fully practiced on dead people so that there would be no chance of hurtinq anyone. Sweet old Abby and Martha did away with an even dozen elderly and lonesome people just for charity's sake. But there was friction in the family when Ionathan qloated over the fcct that he could do as well sinaleehanded as could his aunts to- qether. So the sisters laid their plans, and in the final moments of the play they triumphantly murdered Mr. Witherspoon who had come to take them away to an insane asylum. Martha and Abby won by the score of 13-12. Abby Brewster . . Dr. Harper .... Teddy Brewster . . . Officer Brophy . . . Officer Klein .... Martha Brewster . Elaine Harper ....

Cheney, music department di- rector, was also in charge of this annual stage production. The Glee Club also partici- pated in assemblies. The effect which their soft humming created when used in the back- ground as Bill Lutz gave Lin- coln's second inaugural address in the February assembly will long be remembered. And Patty Cooper has appeared time and time again as soloist before large groups and small. The band lent excitement and patriotic fervor to pep rallies, and fired Arlington fans with enthusiasm when it played at home basketball games.

Only seven lettermen reported, but it was from this group of hopefuls that Coach Perry molded his championship aggregation. The team played, and won, three practice games early in the season. The last one was a victory over North High School, whose team was later crowned champion of the City League. The victory was costly, however, as two mem- bers of our starting team, Dan Pratt and Ed Hamilton, were injured. Arlington won its first game of the year from an outmanned Grove City eleven 28-13. The game was rather disappointing, however, as Arlington did not show its previous power and displayed a very weak pass defense. The following Friday the Golden Bears trav- eled to London where the Red Raiders adniinis- tered the first of Arlington's two defeats, The London team was very aggressive and did not give Arlington's high geared offense a chance to roll, except for a short splurge of power early in the third quarter. Arlington's third game, with Delaware, found the Golden Bears on the short end of a l3-8 score. Not only did the loss break Arlington's winning streak over Delaware at four straight games, but it cost them an undisputed Central Buckeye League championship. Arlington tal- lied early and it looked as if they would run away with the game. At the half, Arlington was leading by an 8-U score, which at the time seemed to be a comfortable lead. But Delaware Came back strong in the third quarter and drove to their first touchdown within five minutes. Then FIRST ROW: Paul Henning, Dcm Pratt, Ed Hamilton, Iim Crane, George Iohnson, lack Carruthers, Iohn Lovett. SECOND ROW: Dave Larkin, Iohn Falconer, Dod Brandt, Iim Kepley, Charles Lewis, Bob Masters, Steve Sutton, Bill Konold, Larry Howell. THIRD ROW: Tom Sours, Kent Brandt, Fred Morrison, Don Stewart, Ned Green, Iim Ebright, Iim Long, Dan Minor, lack Sampson, lohn Rarey. FOURTH ROW: George Risley, George Bare, lack Postle, Charles Hamilton, Bob Connoly, Doyt Perry, Dick Sheahan, Brian Howell, George Eckelberry, Bob Donley, Bob Meeder, Donn Miller. Captain lim Crcme Couch Doyl Perry Jack Sampson Ed Hamilton lim Kepley ...dn i Don Stewart Bill Konold the game see-sawed back and forth until the middle of the fourth quarter when Delaware scored their second, and winning, touchdown. There were still four minutes left in the game, but Arlington failed to score and went down to their second and last defeat of 1943. With two unsatisfactory performances in a row, Mr. Perry reorganized the team. By shifting George lohnson and Dan Pratt to ends, lim Kepley to tackle, Chuck Hamilton to center, and Iohn Lovett to the tailback position, Coach Perry set up the team that was to go undefeated in its remaining six games. The next game on the slate was Columbus Academy: this was a very important game, for if Arlington should lose, the loss would blast all hopes for a CBL championship. The Prepsters were no match for the Golden Bears, however, and Arlington walked off with an easy 26-U victory. The Academy game seemed to give the Golden Bears confidence, and from then on they were a polished team. They easily defeated Westerville by the score of 31-6 to keep alive their championship hopes. The following week was spent in strengthen- ing the defense and expanding the offense in preparation for the Linden-McKinley and Bexley games. It was time well spent as the Arlington grid machine was in high gear against Linden, defeating them 46-O. The Golden Bears looked George Iohnson Iohn Lovett Charles Hamilton very smooth and they appeared to be ready for an all out effort against undefeated Bexley. The high point of the season was reached on October 29 when an inspired Arlington eleven defeated the previously undefeated Bexley Lions 19-6. There was no doubt from the opening kickoff that it was Arlington's day: everything they tried was successful. After receiving the kickoff, it took Arlington just nine plays to drive to Bexley's nine yard line where Bexley inter- cepted an Arlington pass. After Oley Iohnson recovered a Bexley fumble on the fifty yard line, Fred Morrison ran the ball fifty yards for a touchdown. Curly scored his second touchdown of the game in the second quarter on cr statue of liberty play that was good for 13 yards. After Bexley scored their lone touchdown early in the third quarter, when Freddie carried the ball over for his third touchdown. There was no further scoring in the game although Arlington was continually driving and seriously threatened several times. It was a team triumph, and a large part of the credit goes to Ar1ington's great line, which opened many large holes for the backfield as well as bottling up Bexley's vaunted offense.

Alumni, parents, students cmd teachers filled all the available seats long before game time, eagerly waiting for the homecoming ceremonies to begin. When at last, Sally Parker, i943 Homecoming Queen, entered the stadium in a maroon con- vertible, she was greeted with a cheer from the excited fans. Sally and her court --Mary Lou Dumbauld, Mary Campbell, Monny Bennett, and Priscilla Alexander - were formally presented to the crowd by Master of Ceremonies Kiehner Iohn- son. He then introduced her to lim Crane and Louis Florio, Arlington and Grandview captains, and she gave each boy a big Chrysanthemum from the bouquet which she carried. Queen Sally sent Captain lim back to the field with a good luck kiss, and she and court turned to the seats provided for them at the center front of the stadium. Sally proved herself a lucky queen, for Arlington won the game by a score of 35-6. Couples swung and swayed to the rhythm of Lee Barnes' orchestra at the Homecoming Dance held the next evening in North Hall. The dec- orations were under the supervision of Jackie Fullen, Dan Minor, and the cheerleaders. Queen Sally was escorted by lim Crane, and Mary Lou by Dan Pratt. Monny appeared with Harry Postle, while Mary came with lack Wetherbee. Priscilla was escorted by John Lovett.

The Golden Bears finished their C. B. L. campaign with a record of nine wins against a lone defeat: their record for the whole season was fourteen victories against two defeats. Arlington won its first two games of the season by defeating Granville 4l-26 and Circleville 63-43. The team lost their next game to South by a 49-4l count and the other two pre-league games, one with Worthington which was called off and another with London which was played at a later date, were postponed because of the flu epidemic which was sweeping the school. The Golden Bears inaugurated the C. B. L. season by defeating Grandview 47-36. It was a fairly close game, but Arlington held the lead FIRST ROW: Pirnack, Carlile, Khourie, laeger, Robbins, Rarey, Gerwin. SECOND ROW: Staub, Stewart, Green, Ashby, Gerlach, Minor, Crane, Perry. throughout. The Bears looked very good and had high hopes for a C. B. L. championship. The following week Academy visited Arling- ton and the Vikings were defeated 4l-34. ln the next game the Golden Bears downed Delaware 44-34. The Bears had shown good scoring power in their first three C. B. L. contests, but they were not pressed in any of them. They were to receive their first real test at the hands of Bexley. They met the test well, though, and defeated the Lions 47-33 before a full house on the Arling- ton floor. The first two quarters were played on even terms, but in the third period the Arlington players pulled away to win finally by a l4 point' margin, lt was a very exciting game and practically assured the Bears of their first league championship. Westerville and London were beaten 54-14 and 30-26 respectively for the Bears' seventh THIRD ROW: D. lohnson, Youngquist, G. Iohnson, Lovett, Sutton, Burdort, Sampson, DeVere.

Then they downed Academy 43-42, Central 46-36, and Delaware 57-36 before losing heir second game of the year to an inspired Bexley quintet. Arlington Went into the game as top heavy favorite, and came out of it with an outlook toward the game and a realization that they were not unbeatable. They settled down to Work and bounced back to defeat Westerville by the record breaking score of 67-31. This contest marked the end of the 1943-1944 Central Buckeye League season and gave the Bears their-first championship. After a two Week lay- off Arlington was upset by North in the Central District Tournament by the score of 34-37. The Golden Bears ended their most successful sea- son in years by defeating a Central Buckeye League A11-Star team 36-35. The credit for Arlington's great season goes to maly people, but the person to whom we are most iiebted is Doyt Perry, our coach. When Sixty boys reported for basketball practice last November, there were only four lettermen among them. Prom that group he molded a Ned Green Bob Youngquist .,- squad made up of these tour lettermen, six re- serve players, and two boys who hadn't played basketball since they were freshmen. The team was good enough to win top rating in the league, and seven of these experienced players will be back for next year. In a school assembly on March 29, twelve varsity team members received their letters and, gold basketballs. These boys were co-captains Steve Sutton and Iohn Lovett, Iim Crane, Wayne Ashby, Bob Youngquist, Iohn Gerlach, lack Sampson, Don Stewart, Ned Green, Dan Minor, Walter Burdorf, and managers Dave Iohnson and Bill DeVere. Iohn tBerniel Gerlach was announced as captain-elect of the 1944-1945 basketball team. Several members oi the team were honored in the post-season selection of the Central Buckeye League all-star team. John Lovett stepped into captaincy of this honor group, and had the distinction of being the only player unanimously elected to the team by the board of coaches and sports writers. Iohn Gerlach was also placed on the first team. Steve Sutton, lack Sampson, Don Stewart, and Ned Green held berths on the second string.

During the l944 season, Upper Arlington was represented on the diamond by what was prob- ably the best baseball team in the history oi the school. The squad didn't quite win the Central Buckeye League title, and it was upset early in the tournaments, but it was a team that held together. Fourteen victories out of nineteen starts is a record which speaks for itself. Because of the departure ot Frank Hager, the l9I44 captain-elect, second-baseman Wayne Ashby was chosen to captain the squad. Other stand-out players were Steve Sutton, Dan Minor, Iack Sampson, and Don Stewart. These were among the boys honored by positions on post- season all-star squads.

Underclass letter winners were lack Sampson, Dan Minor, Don Stewart, Tom Spence, Bill Lutz, Fred Morrison, Dick Pirnack, and Spike Gerwin. Sampson and Minor were elected co-captains for 1945.

TRACK TEAM CBL CHAMPS IN 1942 and 1943 ' H' Cn March 3l the l944 Upper Arlington track squad opened its season with a practice meet at East. Bunning without five of its returning senior lettermen, Captain Dan Pratt, Paul Henf ning, lohn Lovett, lim Triffon, and Dan Carmack, the team found that it would need to work much harder to produce a winning team. ln quick succession on April l3 and l4 the Bear squad bowed to Central, lU3 V2-37V2, and to University, 56V2-55-37, with Canal Winchester third, The last meet was a heart-breaker with any number of factors that might have turned the tide for the Gold and Black. lmmediately following the first victory of the season over Gahanna and Wortl'iington on April 2l by the score of 69V2-40-38Vz, lack Wetherbee was elected to succeed Dan Pratt as captain for 1944. With the season well under way the team showed substantial improvement, but not enough to overtake South on April 24, the score being 64-2X3 to 53-l!3, Again on April 26 the UA squad placed second, this time to Bexley with Delaware taking third, 62 VE-44 V2-43. On May l2 UAHS, the defending Central Buckeye champion, lost its crown to Bexley. This was a hard blow for a win would have 1 given the Bears their third consecutive title and permanent possession of the trophy. The results f th : l ' ' Couch Dick Larkin o e meet were as follows Bex ey first with 60 Iifilflligl, Delaware second with 33V2, Arlinqton third with 31 lb, and Westerville tourth with 22. Arlington took only two tirstg the mile relay team one, and Bula Fidlor the other in the pole vault. The 880 roloy toorn finished second and lack Postle tied for second in the hiqh jump. Tho next two meets, on May 15 with Linden McKinley and on May 24 with Aquinas, turned into victories for the Arlington squad, thus end- ina the 1944 season. The local squad was also represented at the Ohio Wesleyan Relays and at the Central District Meet. The tivo rernaininq senior letter men, lack Wothorheo, Boh Fidler, Dod Brandt, lim Crane, and Bill Konold, torrether with the underclass lettvrrnen, Bob Gutcfhezs, Fred Morrison, Dick Vhftlrerhoe, and lack Postle, torrned the nucleus ot tin.: yfiar':s squad. Those also instrumental in torrnrrrrr tlrcf :squad woro Iohrr Falconer, Kent Brandt, Inn l.onrr, Iohn Selby, Clhuck Hamilton, Donn Miller, and Dan Ransom.

Coached by Keo Nakama, captain ot 'Ohio State University's swimming team, the team won two and lost two dual meets, and placed second in one triangle meet. Lack of transportation seemed the biggest difficulty tor the boys who swam at the Ohio State natatorium. The greatest encouragement for the team was the tact that it was made up enirely ot under- classmen, who have had more than the usual amount of varsity competition and who will be entered in '44 and '45 against less experienced teams. ,Q Captain lack Carruthers ,,..- lack Sampson The 1944 golt team began the season with tour returning lettermen and two new boys to serve in the fifth and sixth positions. Although they had three defeats early in the season, they hoped to place in the district golf tournament and then go into the state tourna- ment. By mid-season there was very little chance of their winning the city championship again this year, as they had already lost to North 4-8, and to St. Charles 7Vz-8V2. And although they won the tirst match from Worthington 8-4, this team beat them in the second match 3-9. In other city league matches Arlington de- feated Bexley 13-3, East l6-O, and Aquinas 15-l. ln a non-league match they defeated Grandview l0V2-l V2.

Last year the squad had eleven matches, and won but three. Contrast this to the 1944 loop in which they lost only two from a possible twelve. These two heart-breakers were with Bexley's league-lead- ing Lions. The boys showed unsually fine spirit, and were constantly striving for even greater skill because their positions on the team were al- ways being challenged by others. The schedule ran as follows: Grandview, Westerville, Academy, Bexley, Grandview, North, Delaware, Westerville, Delaware, Acad- emy, Bexley, and West. Next year every one of the boys will return to help make an even better showing for the school. Ned Green .W-- Iohn Rarey XZ!

SECOND ROW: Benfer, Gramlich. Pray, Ioseph, I-leming, Bailey, On Tuesday, March 21, the senior girls Won the intramural night tournament for the second con- secutive year, by virtue of a 19 to 8 Victory over the surprising freshmen. Opening the evening was the eighth grade victory over the seventh by the score of 20 to 4. Ianet Petrie led the eighth with nine points and Patty Hays scored the seventh's only two baskets. The freshmen then surprised the juniors by wining l3 to 9. The big factor in this game was the scoring of 9 foul shots by the freshmen. Carolyn Campbell led the scoring with 6 points, while lerry Murphy followed with 5 points. The seniors defeated the sophomores 30 to 5 in a game which wasn't even a contest. In this game ,the seniors were led by lanet Bailey who took the high scoring honors of the evening with l6 points. When the seniors met the freshmen, it was really a battle. Marion Sanborn paced the seniors with ll points and Carolyn Campbell led the freshmen with 5 points. The coaches picked an all tournament team and the choices for the first team were unani- mous: forwards were Marion Sanborn, Carolyn Campbell, and Ianet Bailey. The guards chosen were Sybil Gramlich, Carol Bailey, and Sara Heming. BASKETBALL There is an old sayina: Wliere the-re's a will, there's a way. Each class set out to prove this platitude at the beainnina of the basketball sea- son. The will was to come out on top Intra- mural Niaht. The way was practice and experience. Able auidance was offered by the boys. The seniors started this idea by :rskinq Bill Konold to auido their team throuqh their junior year. He performed his duties so well fthey won all but one aamte out of twentyi that other teams thou-tht they would try it this year. Ned Green coached the juniors, whereas Cobs Copelan and lack Carruthers were the choice of the sophomores. But one of the best jobs of coaching was done by lack Sampson and Walt Burdorf. These boys produced the strongest freshman team the school has even seen. Experience was aamed by interscholastic competition. Grandview, being long-time rivals land the closest schooli, became the first prey. The seniors twice carrie out with the lonq end ot the score, The Juniors follcwed their example in two games. The sophomores and freshmen broke even they each won one and lost one. On March 21 University, Bexley, Grandview, and Ar-linaton assembled their class teams for Play Day. The seniors and juniors fouqht and won their battles on home territory while the naoplioriiiires and freshmen fraveled to Grand- view, The sophs won their tournament but the freshmen were defeated in the finals of their contest. A new l-:ind of tournament was introduced this year the independent Tournament. Twelve captains chose their teams from a list of high school airls who siiined up The winnina team, captained by Basalinda Bobison, includes the fallowina people: Sara Heminq, lane Gramlich, Myrna Forney, Betty Graqnon, Lucinda Ma- aruder, Mina Sickles, Mibby Boyd, and Sybil Starkey. ln the home roam tournarr ent the qirls in 227 won for the 1-:ef:orid year.

Under the leadership of hockey heads Murphy and F ullen, the season was most successful. ln the intra- mural tournaments, the sophomores, captained by Erma Love, were victorious over the upper- classmen. This team included Kathy Hall, Rosalinda and Clotilda Robison, Ann Schnee, Evelyn Witchey, and ludy Vickers. The major events of the season were the inter- scholastic qames. The Varsity A team defeated Grandview twice and Bexley and University once each. They completed their first unde- feated season by tying with C. S. G. twice. The B team wasn't so fortunate. lt emerged from the season with two victories and two defeats. Members of the A team were Katherine Ioseph ICJ, Marion Sanborn, Sybil Gramlich, Mibby Boyd, Iackie Fullen, Ierry Murphy, Sybil Star- key, Erma Love, Clotilda and Rasalinda Robi- son, Evelyn Witchey, Mary Ann Lummis and Kathy Hall.

Gramlich, Love, Schnee, and Boyd received honorable mention.

Benfer by a nose Ready for a homer Expert service Set it upl HERD IN THE l 'Tween classes By glancing back to the corridors of U.A.H.S., it's rather easy to recall the highlights of our school life. We'l1 always remember bearing with the newly chosen cheerleaders as we crowed over our Bexley victory that fall . . . the unexpected humor provided by the loquacious Mr. Staub with his polysyllabic words . . . sgueals and giggles as that freshman class took over the halls after school . . . Miss Randall being polite- ly ejected from 229 at noon while the senior girls carried on juicy conversations . . . that wonderfully l-o-n-g Christmas vacation Cthank you, Mr. Flu Cfermll . . . C. B. L. victories in the spring and amoosin' but confoosin' antics by the senior boys in the Available lownes assembly . . . the crackling of the seniors' pic- ture proofs as they circulated through classes . . . the stacatto echo of tap shoes in the halls around Minstrel Show time . . . And then there were those things that we tried so hard to imagineg Such as: The gym Without Weezy Sanborn and Katie Ioseph Mr. Perry without his pet expressions Miss Randall letting you come into class late Bill Konold without his senior girls' basketball team Charles Lewis ever getting excited lohnny Lovett without his Southern drawl The senior girls without their knitting CORRIDORS A quiet Qpen House where nothing is broken Monny Bennett without anything to do Boys liking girls' sports School would not have been the same without the restful buzzingand whirring from the Manual Arts room, that occasional CRASH! from the cafeteria, the echo of furiously tapping type- writer keys from the third floor, and screams from the gym as Miss Ogan's Commando Course for Girls charged up the stairs and leaped over the bleachers! And we just f:cxn't leave out Music After Hours by Wetlierbee, Konold, and lohnson, or Steve Sutton's famous five word repartee, Aw, leave Mr. Crites alone! And then there was the question of the year, Do you eat cream horns from the big or little end? And so, dear inmates, as our high school days closeg we oifer these final words of wisdom to you: Freshmen don't know that they don't know, Sophomores know that they don't know, luniors know what they don't know, Seniors know.

Wow. .. As the copy for this last page is being prepared, the staff breathes a sigh of mingled relief and regret, Our Work on this l944 Norwester has opened entirely new fields of interest for us and has taught us many valuable lessons. We've had a peep into the big World of busi- ness, and have learned a little of what happens before a finished book is offered to the public. There have been countless hours of planning layouts and figuring the number of words re- quired to fill a certain space. These were new experiences, for somehow we had the idea that pictures just placed themselves on pages, and that words automatically fitted. The thanks of the entire staff go to lohn Selby, the only junior on this Norwester staff, who Worked endless hours taking, developing, and printing our pictures. Without his unselfish efforts, the pictures that form a permanent record of our class of '44 and its supporting cast of underclassmen would have been nearly im- possible. Our work has of course brought headaches and many perplexing problems, but solving them was part of the fun. We want to express our gratitude to Mr. Al Capp, Mr. Howard Dwight Smith, Mr. 'Wayne V. Harsha, and all the others Whose contribu- tions have been invaluable to the success of the book. Miss Vera K. Randall, senior class adviser, has been our unfailing standby through- out the preparation of this Norwester, and We want her to know how much we appreciate her advice and understanding. As editor, l want to thank the entire staff for their cooperation and enthusiasm, which have made the publication of the 1944 Norwester an unforgettable experience for us all.
