Louis Wilson ln the year of our Lord l925, the W. H. S. decided that they should again have an annual. So as time came around, they surely had a grudge at a few members in the W. H. S., as they told them the sad news that they were to be the members of the Annual Board. Now, you know the chief is one who likes to talk, so they chose Don, He has the greatest burden on his shoulders-the editor. And of course he can't work without an assistant, and so Leona took her place. Mrs. Sheriff was Faculty Editor and watched both of them. Now for the business managersg who could act more business like than Allene, Ross and Mr. Avery? Donald, George, Chas. and ,julia can surely take care of all our locals. Next we have to get some jolly ones for jokes, one who always laughs at every little thing, so we believe Helen, Mildred, Leonard and Esther can do that. Yes, William, Floyd, Sam and lrene always have both ears open to everything that is said, so why wouldn't they make good reporters? Helen Kreider, the little girl with the big ideas, can speak for herself. Who enjoys the games more than Nina and Louis? When it comes to art, you just watch Francis, Harry, Gertrude and Lloyd. This work in the annual speaks for itself. Four Sewers 'ffff f ' X W N' rx - 1 X M' KI 2 X X, lW,N.

'l'l1i1'1m-11 Class History From the beginning of time all important facts have been recorded, so it is only fitting that the history of the '25 Class should be set clown. ln I9IZ a hearty bunch of little tots started to school in the first grade. We thought we were big and wise, for we were on the rocking, stormy sea of knowledge. And so we passed from class to class until in the year of 1921 when we entered the great, unexplored regions known as W. I-I. S. Here the upper classmen condescendingly tacked the dignified title of uliireshien to the poor trembling, stuttering, green infants. However the green soon wore off and we managed to squeeze in our place and to take our part in this new life. We successfully accomplished our first social duty of entertaining the very dignified Seniors. ln our Sophomore year the fun began. All the teachers seemed to think us rather unruly, and, as yet we have not been able to change their minds. ln spite of our pranks and fun we mastered Plane Geometry and fought Caeser's battles like true Romans. When we reached the startling height of Juniors we were dazzled with the blaze and blare of the grown up world. We organized our class and chose green and white colors to flaunt in the faces of the enraged Seniors. Always, as before, we tried to keep our lessons with our fun, and succeeded rather well in this. Now we are Seniors. We have accepted the throne from the '24 Class and are keeping it in high esteem. We have cast aside our inherited dignity, for we feel not half as big and wise as we did on the first rung of the ladder. Only one thing darkens our horizon-at the end of our Junior year we lost our brightest star, Adam Haller, but all are happy in his success at his present school. Even in our loss, we have gained, for many others have come to join our ranks until we have the loyal class of fifty. We are proud of our class- mates who have put our class on the athletic map, and we are grateful to all our teachers who have stood by us in sunshine or rain. Eighteen boys and girls managed to survive the tyranny and slaifery of the twelve years together, and now we call ourselves The Stickers. After our school days are over we will continue to be good Stickers and stick until success comes: in sight. And so in May, we of '25, hand the Throne to the '26 Class, to love, guard, and esteem as our class has tried to do in the four happy years spent in dear old W. l l. S. Frances W. Deshler, '25 Senior Class Song Pride of the school they call us Now that we're going away. Twenty-five sings, joy bells we ring l-lail our commencement day. Chorus: lnto life today we wend our way From dear old Wadsworth l'ligh's Proudest name, ul-lall of Fame, Let us ne'er forget to honor her Whom we all love so well singing her praise May all the joys we've won Be yours who follow on. May you win new fame. For her we love to name, Our dear old Wadsworth High. All thru the years of labor All thru the days of yore, We stood the test, and gave our best Our song, Excelsior.

SENIOR STICKERS In the first grade there was a large class of us. Miss Hartman and Mrs. Saal took good care of us, and showed much patience in teaching us the Three R's. From there we moved slowly on up the ladder. Each year seemed to bring a new one to our class, and each year some one dropped out. Still some stuck. Then came the year when some were sent to the South Building. The next year we had a grand reunion again and once more were all together in the same room. The seventh and eighth grades We learned. were called Junior High. How proud we were. We began to put on grown up airs. It was whispered about that some of the girls used powder. Miss Butts taught us mathematics and Oh! what a struggle some put up. in these grades some went out for Basket Ball and the Stickers had something to be proud of. Then we passed on into High School. Here indeed the new pupils came in. The stickers were dwindling down. Then came the Bobbed Hair epidemic and after it had passed quite a few girls had changed in looks. One girl who had formerly combed her hair skin tight back had hers cut and be- came popular over night. She became known as a good athlete, some called her Pat, and were proud of her. Also Allene began to shine as a good athlete. I-'i ftoeu m L- We had boys to be proud of also. There was Donald Good always at the head in class work. ln the junior year he became class President. ln our Senior he has been chosen as Manager of the Senior Play. He also went out for Debating and helped W. H. S. win honors. Then there was Eddie, who furnished us many a laugh. He was a good Foot-Ball player, the fastest runner on the team. Also we have among us Noel and Emerson, the two quietest of the class. They won Basket Ball letters. Last but not least of the boys comes George Lorentz, who has become prominent this last year. He was on the Debate team and recievd many compliments on his fine speech and the manner in which he delivered it. He was elected as Senior class Presi- dent. So we have struggled on through twelve hard years of study, up to our Senior year. just eighteen of the old class. Eighteen true loyal stickers. Helen Hartman, '25 Senior Poem O, dear old class of Twenty-Five With our colors of Green and White Thy memories we'll ever cherish Till our spirits wing their flight. The time is growing close, alas, That we must say good-by, And sadly clasp the hands of those We've loved in Wadsworth Hi. And to all of our lnstructors We promise to earnestly strive To remember their kindly teachings To the class of Twenty-Five. As we travel along life's highway Along through this veil of tears, And our memory pictures faces We have not seen for years, Let us pause awhile in our journey To think of those days gone by When as happy, carefree, children We went to Wadsworth Hi. Fame has written names of honor On the golden sands of Time Chosen several from among us Of the class of twenty-five, Filling us with memories, happyg Filling us with joyous pride Thanking the Dear Father Above us That we too 're from Twenty-Five. Frances Libert, '25 The Hall of Fame And do you know there is a hall of fame Where many a name is written in flame? ls it a pillard chapel tall and fair And have its honored inmates virtue rare? Nay, tis not a columned, loved shrine, lts walls are bathed with tears of brine. Would you know where this hall, it stands? It was not made by human hands But is buried in hearts of men. Those beloved names were neier written by pen Of famed minstrel, bard or poet Nor praised by harpists's sweetest note. Are they the battles conquerers or music's followers Or servants of learing's flowers? Nay again, they are the common folkg That of life's sweetness form the yolk. Their deeds were simple, kind and great That oft disclosed an honoured trait. Their number's countless and tis tried And many a pilgrim's tear they dried: Tis character loving and trusting 'l'hat's made them loved among men. Catherine Morneweck, '27 Sixteen Senior Class Play The last school function that the Seniors can give before leaving school is the Senior Class Play. They went into this affair this year with all the spirit any class could show in order to make the play the biggest hit ever. The play was one of Marie Doran's best--A'The New Co-Ed. It was ably directed by Bruce Cameron and given on Friday, May Sth. The play portrays life at a college. The theme of it is the arrival of a new student at the college. She is an oddly dressed girl coming from a small village and not knowing what or how to expect things at college. Of course she is shunned by some of the students, while several take a liking to her and help her get along. The play tells of her many trials and how they terminate. The following cast acted very well the parts assigned them. l-etita fl-ettyl Willis, The New Co-Ed ............ ....

Orchestra The Senior Chapel program as given above took place on Wednesday morning, May 20, l925, in the l'li School Auditorium. Everyone had looked forward to this outstanding Senior event, and it came up to the expectations of every student assembled there. The Seniors had tried to put on some- thing different and that they succeeded was evident by the reluctance with which the student body left the auditorium and the many complimentary re- marks which were made public afterwards. A freshie said, Say, it's too bad they're leaving: l couldn't have done much better myself. George Lorentz, the class president, had charge of the exercises. Ri gh f emi EDITORIALS School Spirit The students of Wadsworth High School during the year of l924-25 have been showing great school spirit. At all games the students have been turning out in great numbers and helping the various teams win their games by cheering from the side lines. They are also behind other things as well as sports, the Literary Club, Dramatics, Debate, Orchestra, C-lee Club, Hi-Y and all other activities that help build up a school. The School itself is built up around school spirit. lf it were not for the Spirit where would our school be? It is not the name of the school that makes it great: it is the students themselves. Students can make or break a school. ln the instance of good old W. H. S. the students are making it. and are putting the name of Wadsworth High School on the scholastic map of Ohio. We expect in time to come, to have one of the best schools if not the best in the State of Ohio. And who will do it? The students, by getting behind the school activities and pushing it forward into the scholastic lime- light. The faculty is another great factor in building up the school and school spirit. And is the main cog in maintaining the function and activities. The faculty of W. H. S. is behind every move we make and the Superintendent, Principal and teachers we have this year are-there are none better. They help us in all problems and difficulties that arise, in class, in the gym, and on the gridiron or diamond and any other place it happens to be. New faces in school this year have helped to create a strong school spirit. The different members of the faculty, each had a different kind of work to do and it was done well. There were rallies, the big Peppy Pep Party, the different plays, the Glee Club, Music, Public Speaking and sports. The first was the big Peppy Pep Party which started the ball rolling and there is an old saying that a rolling stone gathers no moss. l don't believe we have gathered any moss, but l think we have gathered a great school spirit this year, and in the years to follow we hope to see a stronger bond called School Spirit holding the students of Wadsworth Hi together. Nuff sed! Do your stuff W. H. S. We're with you! . Donald Parmelee, '25 The Value of a High School Education Why is education so important? We know that many fathers and mothers have saved and deprived themselves of many pleasures so that their children could go through high school. But why did they do this? Because they don't want their children to work as hard as they did. They don't want them to get their hands dirty, in other words, they want them to get a position to use the mind more than the hands. The first thing that intellectual education does for a man is to wake him up. If a man is intelligent, he can and will see what things are aids to pros- perity. It also makes a man patriotic. For example, when your intelligent American citizen reads the history of this republic and thinks of the blood that has been shed, the lives that have been laid down to secure and perpetuate freedom to the most humble citizen, a feeling of love and pride for his country swells up within him. Education also teaches him to economize, and economy is the road to wealth. However large an income, if he doesn't learn to economize, he will never be prosperous. It teaches the dignity of honest Ninvlw-I1 m labor. Policernen are not employed to watch people whose hands are busily engaged in honest toil. Morally, if the hearts of men are right, jails, peni- tentiaries and law-courts would be useless, because he would then recognize his rights and the rights of others. Every pupil should have high ideals. ln the four years of high school training they should have an opportunity to gain information and skill which will help them to live well the common life while they are enjoying and working out the less materialistics of the ideals of humanity. The school should exercise over the pupil firm, but reasonable control, inspiration and self discovery. The high school benefits a community, first, it affords a place where the susceptible, unsteady child can spend his time with little danger of harm from evil associationsg second, the positive advantages that a man or woman with a high school education has in the battle of life over one who does not have this training. The high school is a helping hand which the state extends to all its citizens in order to secure for them a high class of individual and social efficiency. There is no place that an education would not be valuable. A child with no education has one chance in 150,000 of being worthy of a place in Who's Who in America. With an elementary education he has four times the chance, with a high school education he has eighty-seven times the chance, and with a college education he has eight hundred times the chance. The high school graduate earns an average of S500 per year more than an un- educated person. During forty years he would earn 520,000 more. To gain this sum he spends twelve years of one-hundred-eighty days in school, giving him a little less than S28 a day for his school work. With such a great difference in intelligence and wages, it would surely be worth the time and effort to receive this education. Leona Mohler, '26 Li... ..-m.. Wadsworth Business Men , Too much can not be said in favor of the Wadsworth Credit Associa- tion and business men. These public spirited men are continually on the lookout for industries or any worthy institution that might locate in Wads- worth. They are ever mindful of civic duties and take great pride in beauti- fying our little city. Hardly a week passes by that this group of men is not called upon to give its moral or financial support to some worthy cause. Our efficient business managers, Allene Houglan and Ross Shenk, of The Whisperer will testify that the generous and courteous treatment ac- corded them made possible a High School Annual. It has been proved re- peatedly that an Annual is impossible without the advertising. We are in- deed grateful for your generous support. ln return, Business Men, we will feel honored to have you call upon the Wadsworth High School to perform some service that will benefit our little city. T wcnty .-n1 '-1 JUNIOR Junior Report ln September, in the fall of l922, we, now jolly Juniors, with a few additions and subtractions stepped from the old monotony of grade school life into the often thought of time when we would enter High School. Here the maidens proudly put up their hair while the lads strut in long jeans. We certainly have enjoyed our High School life. Of course we were a long time getting settled to the new ways and we had to learn how to study even though the subjects were only four in number. Most of our fun came when we had a chance to show what we con- tribute to athletics. And we are just as proud of our fighters as can be. On the Basket Ball team we support Bob Gerstenschlager, Jim Daykin, Jake Blough, Horace Mason, and Paul Pollock, and in addition Louis Wilson on the football team. Now it has been said that we are a very talkative class and although it doesn't seem like a very good name, we made use of it by entertaining the entire High School with debating for a whole afternoon. We take pride in knowing that it was the first entertainment of the kind given in the High School. This team was composed of, Affirmative: Pauline Derhammer, Earl Joachim, and Hugh Hartzell. Negative: Leona Mohler, Ross Shenk and Edwin Parker. Our Junior Literary Society organized at the beginning of the term has proved a very interesting and instructive source of entertainment, for the programs have been enjoyed by every one in the class. Parties have not been the leading role during the three years but they have taken some part and were enjoyed by all who attended them. And we as a class, hope to complete our High School career to the last degree next year. U Edith M. Fetzer 'l'wcnty-two Name Fern Fiscus .......

The fourteen characters took sufficient interest in their work to ac- complish tlie task in less time than they were originally to have had. The business manager, property managers and costume mistress each by their untiring efforts contributed largely to the success of the entertainment. Through the united efforts of the Junior class enough tickets were sold to more than cover expenses and to fill the auditorium. The large audience was well handled hy the ushers who were girls of the Junior class dressed in their class colors. The play was directed very efficiently hy lVlr.

Wiener Roast Friday evening Oct. l0, 1924 about forty Sophomores journeyed by automobiles to Spruce Run to enjoy a wiener roast. One of the autos was unable to climb a hill which led to the Run and so the occupants CML and Mrs. Sheriff and Miss Burns, were forced to turn back. The main attraction of the evening was the dividing the crowd into groups. Each group to furnish entertainment. A wrestling match was staged by Bill Ream and Mr. Cameron. Many of the Sophomores enjoyed them- selves by exploring the Run. The party was chaperoned by Mr. Foley and Mr. Cameron. A good time was enjoyed by all present. The party broke up about I0:00 o'clock and the crowd started home. fparvusl Wuchter had a little tough luck in getting his trusty Ford to start. But a Ford never fails. Chas. T. Mears, Soph. Local Editor Sophomore Class Hallowe'en Party The second annual l'lallowe'en Party of the class of 2 7 was held in the Domestic Science and Manual Arts rooms combined. The party started with great enthusiasm. All the Sophs came masked in ingenious and deligli tful costumes that ranged from pirates of old to up-to-date vamps and very Arabian shieks. Most of the Sophs were easily recognized while there were some who were puzzlers for quite a while. One was Fatima, a Turkish maid and the other was an lndian girl. But they were at last unmasked and we began playing games. The first game was three-deep. The next game didn't have a name unless it was the barber school, a make believe kissing contest, while a few were in the barber school, however, the rest of the boys went out and looked in the windows, getting wise to the game. After that we played an adver- tising slogan contest which was great fun. Then came the refreshments, that grand and glorious cider, pumpkin pie, doughnuts and apples. After eating we sang Good Night Lad-i-esl' and departed for home.

'f 2 Freshman The Freshman class organized with practically ninety students. Edward Gerstenschlager was elected President while Mary Houghlan accepted the office of Vice President. Only a few weeks had passed when a committee was arranging for a wiener roast. Holmesbrook was selected with six-thirty the time. Mr. Woodbridge accompanied the class as chaperon. A glorious evening was spent as the friends and classmates assembled about the inviting, cheerful flames of a well kindled fire. The merry voices, the scent of spitting sizzling wieners, now and then a shriek from a terrified girl filled the cool evening air as dusk settled upon our favorite little valley with its winding brook and giant trees. Along with October came the l-lallowe'en Party with all its animation and delight. The gym provided a place of entertainment for the ghosts, witches, dudes, fair ladies and all those who gathered there. A splendid time was had after which the refreshments, cider, pumpkin pie, ice cream and cake were served. The class also shared with the Peppy Pep Party. They assisted by helping boil the wieners which found welcome rest between the layers of a bun with a spicy covering of mustard. It does not seem possible that the girls of our class would have done any- thing to make football more of a success. But they did. After the games, hungry, tired, limping and scratched, our opposing team found their way to the room where our girls treated them to 'ihot dogs and milk. So all be- cause of the Freshman girls the men went home feeling less tired and the scratches all turning smiles as they left our always honored schooi. Next in order came Basket-ball. None of the boys from our class were on the teams. But nevertheless they were faithful to practice having at least four or five on the floor every night. We showed our colors in the interclass tournament by getting victory over the Sophs who had a much better team than ours and having one or two players on the regular team. The girls came out with. a true basket-ball spirit. They soon under the leadership of the coach showed some skill in their ability to play. One girl our Vice President succeeded in getting on our High school team. We are glad to express that our first year of High School has been such an enjoyable one. But next year we hope that we may be more successful than before. julia Watts rw, U v Ixn-lily-mglit LITERARY His Kitty, Half-a-Tail Yes, I will call my kitty Half-a-Tail, said a bright eyed boy. Nice little Half-a-Tail. His eyes were as black as coal, shining like stars. His chestnut brown hair hung in his face like silken threads. His bright eyes sparkled as he looked at the cat. Poor Half-a-Tail, he said wistfully. Now Half-a-Tail had half of his tail cut off and his tiny foot slivered in a frightful shape. lt happened thus: Tiny Half-a-Tail was in the weeds, and a mowing machine ran into his tail and leg. Poor Half-a-Tail, his gray fur trembled as the blood trickled from his tail and leg to the ground. But with all the terrible cuts Half-a-Tail was recovering. At this time his foot was improving and his tail was healed. As this small boy petted and stroked his kitty. Half-a-Tail looked to his little master for protection. Now, Half-a-Tail, let's go for the cows. The little boy skipped away and Half-a-Tail on three legs followed. But the lame kitty soon fell behind: so he waited for Half-a-Tail, and very carefully carried him. They soon reached the pasture. The boy opened the gate and the waiting cows came out and leisurely went up the lane while the small boy and Half-a-Tail followed. The cows were enjoying the feed before them. The bright-eyed boy was playing. Outside was sloping ground which he transferred into a coal mine. His newly made trucks were standing by the coal shoot ready to load. Mother, may l fill your cellar with coal? Yes sir! you may, she answered with a pleasing smile. Out came the trucks with imaginary coal. All the while Half-a-Tail watched poking his head into the mine. Many days passed thus. Half-a-Tailis foot was healed and he always scampered after his blackeyed master who stroked and talked to his kitten. There came a day when Half-a-Tail did not see his master coming down the hill. Half-a-Tail was not petted that night. He looked beseechingly into my face. There was no talking, or bright smiles to be seen. We walked with weary steps pondering all the while, for our bright eyed boy was ill. Poor Half-a-Tail sat on a board near the coal mine watching and waiting. Meanwhile the sun was setting-setting magnificently like his little soul. The sunset was not stained by the clouds, neither was his soul. l often think of the filth of life. People grow up sinful. Why cannot our souls be like a child's? Why cannot our souls be as radiant as the sun. lt can and must be the wickedness of life. Still our bright-eyed boy lingered for days while Half-a-Tail so patiently waited for his master to come back. This was not to be, for one morning as the sun was giving its tiniest ray, an angel took his little soul and we were left alone without our bright eyed boy. Our grief was as great as our love. We put him away to his eternal rest beneath the mossy green. His flower covered grave was like his life-colored with the richness of charac- ter. Then we came home alonefalone until we meet him again. And even yet l fancy little Half-a-Tail is waiting patiently for his little smiling master to pet him and say, Nice little Half-a-Tail. Ora Ringer, '26 'l'w0uty-nine ii mg The Price of Success I often wonder what brings one man success in life and another that is his own brother for is closely associated with himl failure. What is the dif- ference? Why doesn't his friend or brother succeed also, instead of failing? l think the conclusion to this problem is that some men succeed, because they cheerfully pay the price of success and others do not want to pay: are unwilling to pay. l think that the Price of Success is this: First: You should use all your courage to force yourself to concentrate on the problem in hand, to study it from all viewpoints and angles, to think of it constantly until it is solved. Second: To have a high standard and determination to put over what- ever you have started to. ln spite of all obstacles that might arise, put your idea over. The men that want to stick to the same old path all the time do not get anywhere, but the men that' have high ideas and have the courage to carry them out are the ones that win success. Third: To refuse to believe there is anything that can defeat you. ls it hard? l think it is. Because no great inventor or any other great man has been on Easy Street all his life. Of course there are exceptions to this, but most men have had to work for what they have accomplished. l believe that every man should ask himself whether he is willing to endure the struggle for the comforts, rewards and the glory that go with achievement or he should ask himself whether he should accept the uneasy and unsettled future that comes with failure. He should ask himself if he is willing to pay the Price of Success? And the time to begin is NOW. Helen M. Holcomb, '27 An Approaching Wedding A cozy little Ford coupe comes traveling down the road with a merry couple in, it, full of joy over the event just about to take place. They very probably have just come from the county seat. They stop before the home of the selected minister. She takes out her vanity and puts a few touches of powder here and there, then gives him a sweet smile and he knows it is time to get out of the machine. He .opens the door and steps out, goes around to other side and helps her out. When she has a good foothold on the ground he drops her arm and straightens his necktie, adjusts his hat and gives a few jerks to his coat. He again takes her arm and they proceed to the door of the parsonage. The minister is there. The man introduces his betrothed to the minister. They take off their wraps and after a little more primping they are ushered into the front room where they are to be united. As she usually carries the certificate and license, she gives them to the minister. The two stand before the minister, the ceremony proceeds. The minister fills out the certificate and rolls it up, sometimes never to be looked at again. They soon find their wraps and are ready to go to machine. l-le assists her to the machine and they speed up the street, anxious to get home where the home folks are awaiting the arrival of the new couple.

It was called the Hi-Y orchestra at times and so the one organization served two purposes. For this reason the member- ship was more limited and only members who were willing to serve faithfully and well were admitted. Whenever the Hi-Y had a banquet or entertain- ment they called on the orchestra who willingly answered and who also en- joyed the banquets. The orchestra consisted of five violins, one banjo, one bass viol, two clarinets, one cornet, three saxophones, one trombone, one set of drums and a piano. Regular practices were not held, but whenever the orchestra was needed they met and practiced. The orchestra assisted at six lecture course numbers, the senior play, junior play and several chapel pro- grams. Much credit is due to the capable direction of Mr. Oplinger, the leader. The work in the orchestra was entirely voluntary as no credit was given. Much is due therefore, to the willingness of the members. We hope that the orchestra will continue its good work next year for what is a high school with- out an orchestra? Allene Houglan 'l'l1 i My-IN vu Huw lfslizurl .llI2IL'lIllll. lfhiwill l'zur'k4-f'.

The question debated was Resolved, that the Parliamentary Cabinet Form of Government of Great Britain would more perfectly Advance the Highest Interests of the United States than does its Present Form. The negative team debated at Wadsworth and upheld the American side of the question in such a manner that they won the decision. The personnel of this team was entirely Seniors: George Lorentz, Ethel Spencer, Donald Good, and Nina O'lVleara, Alternative. The Affirmative team traveled to Barberton and there, although showing fine arguments and good delivery was defeated. The personnel of this team was Edwin Parker, Harold Corwin, Earl Joachim and William Westbrook, Al- ternative. All in all, the season was much more successful than had been antici- pated, for not one of the debaters had ever appeared in an inter-scholastic debate. Each debater was awarded a pin and the team was banqueted twice, once by Mr. and Mrs. Lorentz and by Mr. F. L. Vvoodbridge, the coach. lllII'lY-llYlf l 4 Row I--ffflifslilvl' l'iY4'I'll'lI'll 1i4'IIll4'lll L14'Ill1ll1 ld-wHw1i1111u1lrl Pull lmllmlr 1' . , , . . , Q wu- nf-ih 5'lll'l2Il'4', lmms NX xlsun. limi' Eff Iffrlxvin ll2ll'lit'I'.

Around these four men coach Schmuck built a team which, although they did not win all of their games, always put up a hard battle and behaved like gentlemen both on and off the field. Two teams reported for practice every night which shows the spirit of the High School. The Student Body displayed its loyalty by attending all the home games en masse. - Bob Gerstenschlager was chosen Captain and gave a good account of himself in every game. James Daykin was chosen Captain of next year's team and we know he will make a good fighting leader. The prospects for a team next year are good with nine letter men back. Morr, Westbrook, Kinlock and Parmelee graduate this year. Morr played tackle and was always steady and full ol fight both on offense and defense. lVlorry had the knack of getting his man and Wadsworth was nearly always sure of a gain when they called a play thru Ralph's side of the line. Westbrook came here this year from Canton and was a welcome addition to the squad because of his speed and experience. Bill played offensive end and half where his speed was a big asset in breaking up passes and going down under punts. Wadsworth loses a good player when Bill graduates. Eddie played half and defensive quarter. He was one of Wads- worth's hardest men to stop because of his speed and ability as an open field runner. Eddie starred at the beginning of the season but had the mis- fortune to injure his hand in the Kenmore game and was unable to play until the last game when he came back in his old-time form. 'I' l 1 1 l'l.X-SPYWII Besides playing Half and Center on the team, Don proved a most effi- cient manager. He was always on hand when there was any work to be done. Don was full of fight and always hit the line hard. He showed up fine in every game he played but because of injuries received in the Barberton game he was unable to play the remaining part of the season.

The two teams were matched fairly even. Wadsworth had the edge on the visitors during the first half and had three good chances to score, but at the critical moment Wooster's line held and we were not able to put the ball across. Neither team scored during the first three quarters. Wooster scored a 35 yd. place kick in the fourth period and with three minutes to play Wads- worth attempted to score via the air route but Bealer intercepted one of Bob's passes on the 25 yd line and ran for a touch down. They failed to kick goal. Red Hutchinson and Morgan starred on the defense while Morr played a strong offensive game opening holes for the backs to break through. Jimmy Daykin Ccenterl passed the ball very accurately and also played a strong defensive game. Eddie Kinlock was Wadsworth's best ground gainer while Bob Gersty out-punted Bealer, Wooster's star. W. H. S. 3-Millersburg 0. Oct 3, 1924 Coach Schmuck's Red and White Vvarriors journeyed to Nlillersburg fired with the ambition to revenge a 25 to 0 defeat handed them last year, and we surely did it by bringing home a 3 to 0 victory. Wadsworth outplayed Millersburg from start to finish and were in scor- ing position when the game ended. ,lake Blough won the game with a pretty 35 yd place kick. Bob Gersty played a fine game for Wiadsworth both on offensive and defensive while Westbrook, Mason and Eddie Kinlock got away for some fine runs. The work of ihe line men: Pollock, Nellis, Hutchinson, Morgan and Kindig was superb, d playing the best brand of football shown this year. Wadsworth 0-St. Vincents 0. Oct. 18, 1924 W. H. S. journeyed to Akron to play St. Vincents at the General Tire Field in East Akron. The game was a scoreless tie. Wadsworth had three chances to score but aided by some unfortunate penalties the Green and White line held and we were not able to put the ball across. Most of the game was played in St. Vincents' territory and Wads- worth's goal was never in any serious danger. Th iirfy-eight W. H. S. 0-Kenmore 13. Oct. 23, 1924 Wadsworth l ligh's Red and White warriors were defeated by Kenmore on Thursday afternoon at the A. C. Field. The game was strongly contested on both sides: Kenmore having a slight edge on Wadsworth. After successive punts and fumbles Kenmore worked 'the ball down to Wadsworth's 7-yd line in the first quarter and Gwaltney put the ball across with a delayed tackle buck and Bachtel kicked goal. Wadsworth settled down to real foot ball in the second quarter and worked the ball down the field to Kenmore's l-yd line, then the visitors' line strengthened and altho Bob Gersty hit the line 5 times they could not put it across. During the third period Kenmore placed the ball on Wadsworth's 25- yd line, and Bachtel threw a pass to Gwaltney who caught it and fell over the line. ln the last period both teams started to play real football. Neither team was able to gain much ground and both sides resorted to punting. Several members of the Wadsworth team suffered injuries. W. H. S. 0-Medina 19. Oct. 31, 1924 Wadsworth traveled to Medina to play our ancient rivals at the American Legion Field. Medina's team was working fine but it seemed as if the Wads- worth Bunch couldn't get started and they crossed the Red and White's goal three time. The line failed to hold at critical moments and aided by some unfor- tunate fouling Medina slipped over a touchdown in the first quarter. The other two touchdowns occurred in the second and third quarters. During the third quarter Wadsworth had a chance to score but were held for downs and Medina punted the ball back into the center of the field. The last quarter Wadsworth came back strong and most of that quarter was played in Medina's territory. When the game ended the ball was on Medina's one-yd line. Jimmy Daykin played the best defensive game for Vvadsworth while Bob Gerstenschlager and Mason starred in the back field. Wadsworth 0-Cuyahoga Falls 32. Nov. 8, 1924 Wadsworth l-li's Jinx was still with us when we tackled Cuyahoga Falls at the A. C. Field, and although we were defeated by five touchdowns the game was more strongly contested than the score would indicate. Cuyahoga Falls kicked off to Wadsworth and jake Blough returned the ball to the 35-yd line. During the next three plays with Bob C1ersty and Horses Mason carrying the ball, the Red and White Warriors worked the ball down to the visitors 30-yd line. But Wadsworth fumbled and C. Cum- mings of Cuyahoga Falls recovered the ball and ran 70-yds for a touchdown. Nothing daunted, the locals started another drive into Cuyahoga Falls terri- tory, after the ball was put into play, but Fortune couldn't even give us a grin and a Falls' player intercepted one of Bob's passes and ran down the field for a touchdown. ln the second period the Red and White line failed to hold at times and the visitors scored by straight foot-ball. ln the last half the locals started an aerial attack in an attempt to score but again' the breaks were against us and the Falls' eleven scored two touch- downs on intercepted passes. After that the Red and White put up a hard bat- tle and the ball remained in the center of the field until the game ended. Wadsworth missed Mason's clever work at quarter, as he was removed from the game in the first period with a wrenched leg. Bill Ream fguardl played a sterling game for Wadsworth breaking through the line for tackle after tackle. Vllllllly-llllll' i ff W i W. H. 5. 0-Barberton 40. Nov. 15, 1924 'Wadsworth's Jinx was still with us when we journeyed to Barberton for we were defeated by six touchdowns. Our defense was weak and the Barberton Back's made long runs around end and off tackle. Wright and Brown took the honors for Barberton with four and two touchdowns re- spectively. Clancy, one of their ground gainers was removed from the game in the first period with two broken ribs. Barberton kicked off to Wadsworth and jake Blough returned the ball to the 35-yd line. On the next play Bob Gerstenschlager went off tackle for a gain of over 50 yds, the longest run of the season. He was tackled I0 yds. from Barberton's goal. The Brown and White line then strengthened and Wadsworth lost the ball on downs. Barberton punted and Wadsworth re- turned the ball to the center of the field. Unable to penetrate the Brown and White line we were forced to punt. Barberton returned the punt and a poor play in the Wadsworth back field gave them the ball deep in Wads- worth's territory. Then by straight football Barberton worked the ball down the field and Wright carried it off tackle for the first touchdown. Barberton scored in all four periods. W. H. S. 20-Spencer 6. Nov. 18, 1924 On Thursday afternoon Wadsworth High triumphed over Spencer at the A. C. Field by a score of 20 to 6. Wadsworth scored a touchdown in every quarter, except the last and were never in any danger of losing the game. Wadsworth kicked off to Spencer and they returned the ball to their 35-yd. line. Unable to gain they punted and Wadsworth returned the ball to the 40-yd line. ln the next few plays Xvadsworth placed the ball on Spen- ceris 40-yd line, they punted and Wadsworth recovered the ball on Spen- ceris 5-yd line. Capt. Gerstenschlager crashed through the line for the first touchdown. Spencer also scored their only touchdown in the first quarter, a Spencer Back going around left end 65 yds. to make it. An unfortunate accident happened when a Spencer man ran into one of their own men and broke his nose. W. H. S. 0-Orrville 0. Nov. 21, 1924 Wadsworth and Orrville battled to a scoreless tie in the last home game of the season at the A. C. Field. It had rained all day and the field was a sea of mud and after the first few plays it was impossible to distinguish one player from another, making it difficult to carry the ball and very few passes were attempted. Both teams fought like tigers but were unable to gain through the other's stubborn defense, thus resulting in a punting duel between Bob Gerstenschlager and Van Allman with Bob having the edge on the Orrville punter. Wadsworth won the toss and chose to receive which was unfortunate on a muddy field as most of the game was then played in Wadsworth's- territory. Orrville had several chances to score by means of a place kick but tried to carry the ball across which proved impossible to do through Wadswortlfs strong defense. Penalties on both teams nearly proved disastrous on two occasions. Every man played a clean but hard game and covered himself with mud and glory. There are three Juniors that need special mention. The clever headwork of Mason at quarter, the marvelous passing of Daykin at center and the accurate punting of Gerstenschlager saved VVadsworth's goal several times. Of course the line and backfield men that protected Bob while he kicked were great factors in holding off Orrville's fast charging for- ward line. Louis Wilson 26 Forty Peppy Pep Party Big Success The first social function of the year was started by Supt. Avery, who at a Pep meeting held Sept. I5, suggested that Wadsworth Hi have a Peppy Pep Party. The school unanimously voted in favor of such a party. That week the torch was lit which awakened the school spirit of W. H. S. that has burned all through the term. The party was held on the school grounds, Friday evening Sept. 26, l924. The Seniors sold coffee and ice creamg Juniors popcorn and lemon- adeg Sophomores home made candy: Freshies hot dogs. During the evening music was furnished by High School Band and be- tween intermissions music of a different type was furnished by innumerable squawkers to be heard any where on the school grounds. A large number of town people were present and majority of the students of W. H. S. were out full of pep and boosting the party. About 9:00 o'clock a bonfire was started from the many inflammable objects gathered by the Freshies for the occasion. Everybody gathered around to enjoy it. Short addresses were made by Coach Schmuck, Supt. Avery, Prin. Swearingen and Rev. Zechiel. It seems probable that Wooster's goat got tired of parading around the bonfire and decided to change sides with us because he surely was not around the following day. The party proved to be a real success both from a financial and party standpoint. 55121.78 was taken in which will be used for various things in the school. The success of the party was due to the splendid co-operation on the part of the school students, and faculty with the support of the town. This was the first enterprise undertaken by the students this year and plenty of school spirit was shown. We hope we may have many more such events and be remunerated both socially and financially. Chasl T. Mears, Soph. Local Editor. ,l. Tennis Wadsworth High School, having been very successful in other branches of athletics, is venturing into another line, tennis. There was a good turnout at the first meeting, and it was decided to elect a captain, who should pick the best five or six men. From these men are to be selected those who will play in the matches. Mr. Krabill, one of our busy business men, has had enough interest in our team to lend his hand in preparing the team for their coming contests. We are glad to have this team, because of the interest the students have shown in tennis during the past years, but, up to this year, have not been able to form an organized team for match play. Needless to say, tennis is one of the best forms of sport, since it requires quick action, alertness of thought, and accuracy. At the present time we have four matches scheduledg two with Kent- Roosevelt, and two with Cuyahoga Falls, and, since we have very good material from which to select, even though this is our first season, we feel that it should be a successful one. We feel that a great deal of our success is due to Mr. A. Krabill's interest in the team and his efforts in coaching. Hugh Hartzell, ' 2 6 1 ,Ifmly-mic T 4 Lvfi. In Riprlllfrf NIV. .l. I .

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Season 1 924-25 Allene Houglan, Captain F. Swearingen, Coach We may say that our success was due to the fine team spirit always with us. Our team passed through the season with an unceasing attitude of co- operation. Team Work brought the team to victory. Allene, our captain, was a fighter from start to finish. She always had the punch that it takes to pilot a team to success. Nina was a hard one for the fans to figure out. Sometimes she played like a whirlwind and at other times she was more docile. Xvell, she played according to instructions from the coach, when she was told to go get em, Pat sure did live: up to orders. Being a fast strong girl, Pat very frequently was called upon to suffer the penalty of a personal foul. Thus she was shifted from center to forward and back again quite a few times in order to evade the deadly whistle of the referee. Martha could well be called the 'iironn girl as her playing would easily entitle her to such a title. Nlartha, Allene and Nina, made a trio hard to stop. It was due to the aggressiveness of these girls that our team came out so well on the scoring end. Guards, well we had two who were hard to get by. Helen and Thelma played a bang up game and deserve more credit than guards usually get. Give and take was their motto, but Helen was on the taking end at Orrville as she came home with a black eye. Fort y- two 1924-1925 BASKET BALL SEASON First practice started the first week of December with 25 candidates re- porting to Coach Schmuck. Of these only 3 were letter men namely, Capt. Mason, Gerstenschlager and Daykin. l-lutcliinson, Pollock, Geisinger, Blough, Shaffer and Waltz give battle in practice for the vacant varsity posi- tions with Geisinger, Hutchinson and Blough looming up strongest. Cuyahoga Falls The first real game of the season was played at Falls and was a fast game from start to finish. At no time was there more than 2 points difference in score, ending in Falls favor l4-l 3. Hutchinson, Geisinger and Blough, new men, played brilliantly. Seville This game on Seville's small floor should be termed football. Blouglfs foul in the last minute gave us a I point victory. Alumni More of a fiasco than a basketball game, and the alumni get away with it l 9-l 6. Riltman in this game on Rittmanis floor the varsity began to show real class. The features of the game were the shooting of Gerstenschlager and Hutchin- son. Score 35-Zl. Barberton This game at Barberton was the most thrilling of the year. Despite the roar of the big Barberton band, the screech of Barberton fans, the Wads- worth backers and team held their own. lt was a great game all the way. l- or-I y-I lmfc T T ,J Cuyahoga Falls Our l4-l 3 defeat was amply revenged when we met Cuyahoga Falls on our own floor. The shooting of Geisinger was the big feature, while the work of Bob and Mason was up to par. Score I8-28. Millersburg Shooting ability lost this game for us. Failure to make 27? of our many, tries cost this game. Seville On our own floor we toyed with our village neighbors. Pollock, Waltz and Shaffer did good work for the Red and White. Score l0-l 5. Orrville Condition of the Orrville floor was a great handicap to the local cagers, also Gerstenschlager, hard working forward, was out. Both teams have ex- cellent passwork, but locals off color in shooting. Score 29-l 5. Wooster Wooster's veteran team too much for us and we bowed to the Brown and Blue by a 30-I0 score. Barberton Barberton's crack team out-classed us on the local floor 44-28. Wads- worth lead for I5 minutes the first half, but faltered when Hutch was forced out on fouls. Score 44-28. Millersburg Another defeat because of poor shooting. Hutch, Nlason and Bob showing to an advantage. I4-25. Kent Roosevelt The locals with their shooting eyes back to form trounced the trolley leagues 26-ZI. The playing of Capt. Mason and Daykin featured. Medina Our keen rivals were submerged to the tune of a l0-25 score. Entire team goes big with Geisinger, Capt. Mason and Bob at their best. Pollock does his bit in this game. Lodi Get the adding machineg score 70-I8. Nothing much to this game with Mason and Bob making close to 50 points between them. Medina On our own floor we trounced them again, 25-l2. The varsity took a commanding lead so the subs all got in. Mears, Sophomore, makes his ap- pearance in this game. Wooster At home we outpassed Wooster and outscored them the second half, but long shots by Wooster and our own failure to connect the first half lost the game 27-I 7. Tournament Wadsworth won her first game from Columbia 23-I 3 but lost the second to Bedford l8-l0. The letter men are Capt. Mason, Hutchinson, Gerstenschlager, C-eisinger, Blough, Waltz and Shaffer. Only two of these men are lost this year. They are Waltz and Shaffer. Jim Daykin, guard, was elected captain and nothing but success can be expected from these veterans.

H. S. was the class of I877. During the intervening years many things have changed. The classes have enlarged, more activities have been introduced and the curriculum considerably changed. A very interesting letter written by Mr. William Bergey gives a splendid account of the first class of IS77. My dear Miss Deshler: As l was a student of Wadsworth High School l shall be glad to give you this information. The class was the first to graduate in Wadsworth Public Schools and it graduated in 1877. The class consisted of Wlary and Clara Lytle, Ella Koplin, Emma Pepper, Ceo. H. Wuchter and W. F. Bergey. Our professor was E. E. Henry and Sadie I-ytle assistant. The greatest number of pupils in our class at one time totalled eleven. The members were Louis Baldwin, Ellen Deshler, Alma Brown, Nettie Peck, and Nettie Ogden besides the others l have mentioned. Everyone at the time of graduation was invited to attend the exercises. It was carried on in a very different manner than now. Everyone in the class had to take a part in the exercises. The banquet was always held after the exercises and the teachers, students, and the school board were invited to the banquet. At the banquet we had toasts, and we had no dancing at that time. We had no choice of courses the classical course being the only one. Since that time there have been a number of schools in the town and outside of town. Right after l had graduated l obtained a position as school teacher close to Sharon, Ohio. Yours Respectfully, Mr. W. F. Bergey Class of 1887 Edith Bergey ............ ...... . .. ..... ....

Our activities are more numerous and extensive. Our banquets are always given by the junior class about one week before Commencement. We have our fine baseball, football and basketball teams to give us entertainment, while the orchestra, class plays and lecture courses furnish entertainment along the educational lines.

The student body took a great interest in base ball this year, 40 men reporting for practice the first week, and Coach Schmuck had plenty of good material from which to pick the remaining members of the squad. Everyone was out practicing hard every night and under Coach Schmuck's efficient training the team rapidly developed into a speedy, hard hitting outfit that will be hard to stop. Charlie Christian is Wadsworth's leading pitcher with Pollock anfl Christopher substituting, while Cxarland Christian works behind the bat. Wadsworth 18 - Kent State 4. April ll, 1925 Wadsworth triumphed over Kent State in the opening game of the season at the A. C. field. The Red and White played a fine game both in the field and at bat, displaying a brand of baseball that makes a winning team. Charlie Christian hurled for Wadsworth, striking out three of the Kent Sluggers in eight innings. ln the ninth Christopher went in and gave a good ac- count of himself. He struck out one batter and allowed one hit. Delone pitched for the visitors and although he struck out 5 men he was unable to keep us in check and the locals connected with ease. l-le was re- placed in the sixth by l.udick, who allowed 5 runs in the last 3 innings. l it'lv-flu'1-4- Geisinger, Willis and Blough were the heavy men with the stick for Wadsworth. Geisinger hit a homer and a double while Willis and Blough both clouted the ball for an extra base. Wadsworth started the scoring in the first inning when Kinlock singled, stole second and advanced to third on Geisinger's single, who went to second on the next ball and both scored when Willis lifted the ball over the left fielders head for a double. l 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 l-l R KentState 000llll00 5 4 Wadsworth 40224l4l0l5l8 Basketball Banquet The Basketball Banquet is an annual affair for the sophomores, so the class of '27 entertained the players on lVlon,day evening, March twenty-third. The program started when the eats were served. The first course was the chicken with all the trimmings, and the second ice cream and cake. Then Toastmaster Harold Corwin introduced the Agony Quartette, who sang several selections. After the Quartette came Sam Griesmer with his Monkey Shines, jokes on the athletes. Next on the program were the addresses. Mr. Avery commented on the spirit and successes of the year. Doc Woodbridge gave us an im- pressive lecture on Bitter End. james Daykin and Captain Horace Mason gave talks but couldn't think of much to say.

Memories Lives of foot-ball stars remind us, 'Tis for glory that we slug, And departing leave behind us, Cleatmarks on some fellow's mug. First we sing a song of Robert He who always we called Bob: He on whom the game depended, He was always on the job. Then we have another hero-son of A. D. fnicnamed Jake, Ladies' man when in the classroom, But in the game he made them shake. Next, there comes twin danger signals Lynch and Hutchy-Red and Red, Heads aflaming, never taming, 'Till the enemy were dead. Next in line a clever player, Kinlock-better known as Eddie, Never faltering, never failing, Always eager, always ready. And we have another Eddie, And we sing now in his honor Wadsworth should be proud of Horace. And another of our army, Who can make our troubles fade, ls that always willing player Whom his comrades know as Wadeg Another name now comes before us, Theres no better man than he: And we're glad tonight to honor Our player, Don Parmelee. Do not feel that you are slighted, We will name you, never fret, Last not least is our motto So we praise you, our Burdette. We are thinking of a player, Who in Canton knocked 'em silly, He can do the same for Wadsworth He is Westbrook, little Billy. And lest we forget in life's gay whirl, That old right guard whom we call With a fifteen letter name: Earl. just for short we call him Gersty, Down through the years of strife But he got there just the same. and glory . . Left tackle with Yale, we'll see our l..et us sing a song of Daykm, --Morry '- Of the lad that we call James: Strikes the enemy with terror, Makes them tremble at his name. Don't be shocked, oh gentle students, Junior has a name that swears, But we feel we have a good man, Our colors he so proudly wears. We boast of another player, Pride of Wadsworth fairest daughters, We are very proud to know him And his name is Earl Vvaters. There's another little fellow, Always fought our battle for us, ffsfwnpfiw Dick, our little sub-Halfback, Whom we all knew would shine, Tore a terrible yawning gap ln lVledina's strongest line. Last but not least we have a man, Pollock, the All American. We have played some hard luck games, boys, But we pray for better luck: With a bunch just like you huskies, And a coach who's just like Schmuck.

One of the most common of these is goiter, or en- largement of the thyroid gland. The use of iodine salt has been found to be an excellent preventive of this disease.

P-U I 3 X TR QUALITY SERVICE The circulation of this Annual is proof in- itself that another school year is ended, another class has reached the top of the first long hill to success and happiness, a goal that has taken twelve years of constant toil and strife, each year becoming harder and harder due to the barriers and hazards they had to fight against. But as they reach the end they review with joy the days gone by, going over their steps thru, the grades and their High School course as we would go over the plans on a City Building, checking how they built for themselves a foun- dation that has withstood the test of the addition of many more studies each year, and now stands in itself a master- piece of thought, which makes a foundation, strong, sturdy and durable enough to add on many more. It is an achievement of which they are proud, for which we are proud of them, for one defect and their edifice of learning would have crumbled and fallen. Quality counts. Reichard Coal Co.
