Four Years-Whoopee and Learning --- 'Q Q . . . gi From the time a Freshman bashfully and unsurely enters the auditorium for his 2. first high school chapel until that memorable night when he sits.on the. stage of that auditorium and listens to serious speeches about life, before receiving his diploma, he z spends four eventful years packed full of excitement, experience, learning, sorrowful dejection and ecstatic happiness. 1 . 1' The importance and carefree happiness of these years have been the subject of 2. thousands of speeches, plain talks and writings. How many times have all of us heard older people regretfully wish that they could live these years over again. gl All this is bound to impress that these years really are important, and that we Q should get the best possible use out of them before they are over and we are through 1' with them forever. rv How are we to get the best use out of these plastic years? What are We to do to form the right habits, and what shall we do to enjoy the youthful pleasures so often all mentioned? lb For one thing, it is safe to say that we make no mistake in having an abundance of good times and exciting pleasures, which can be enjoyed at no other time as well fp as in reckless and care-free youth. To go to the parties, school and private. To enjoy them to the fullest extent possible, by making a lot of unreplvessed whoopee, by QI entering into sociability with the rest of the gang and enjoying the short, sweet Q romances and the much talked of and highly entertaining puppy love. But there is a whole lot more time in these four years. Certainly, no one is going if to make a mistake by spending a reasonable amount of time studying and learning what he can from school work. The amount of learning received, and the habits formed gf in getting it, is certainly a strong factor in deciding whether a large percentage of Q hign school students are going to become old. narrow-minded codgers, who spend their lives in horribly dry routine existence of nothing but rigid domesticity and shopwork, 5 or whether they are to become intelligent and respected people, who live more inter- : esting lives, do more good and enjoy more variety of experiences, pleasures, travels, e and associations. High school people acquire book learning by making best possible use of instruc- tion offered in classes-it isn't necessary nor advisable to become a dry, uninteresting grind to do this-and by doing outside reading. Strange as it may seem to those who in . : havent tried it, a person can enjoy his study periods just about as much by studying : 1 as by trying his hardest to find some means of entertainment. And by spending tnose 5 periods this way, the student can nearly always get his lessons during schooltime and S have the evenings and all the rest of the time to do what he wants to do. gi By reading good books and magazines when there is very little to do, or when 5' usual means of entertainment seems dull, a person can obtain more intelligence. It is just another step which helps to raise one above the usual routine existence. A It is certainly well to follow the philosophy which does not allow one to take life too seriously. But during the four years spent in high school, one faces trouble and 3 problems which can be passed lightly, or which can be attacked regardless of thd 5 difficulties involved. It is the attacking of these difficulties that makes iron men like Lincoln. it is the leisurely avoidance of them, the lack of experiencing hard troubles, difficulties and some unhappiness that creates the incapable jellyfish type of man or WOIH an. Sf Q' It seems to follow that one suggestion for getting the best use of the much disf 5' cussed four years is to mix study, work, and forming of good habits with a lot of 1 lgood times and care-free pleasures. It is a pretty safe bet that if we do these things 5 to the best of our ability, we are not going to look back with remorse after ther fast R riding horseman of youth passes out of sight over the horizon to disappear forever. But that we will look forward to the next interesting chapter of life, at least partly prepared, and endeavor to live it as fully and as enjoyably as we did that of youth. -By Ted Cox gt fi Page six 5'LXfbf'YfS7Xfv7 xc'.bf Xf.bfKq52f XQFf3Q'F??Q5 ......

The gangs, pick-up baseball 5 teams, backyard football games, girls' clubs and helping the teacher after school, is became the most important things in our lives as we went through the early grades. Then, at last, theppportunity which we had looked forward to for years. We had 6? iv passed into Junior High and must take our books every morning and change classes. 5 The eighth grade was a full year for the class of thirty, a most interesting and H, enjoyable year. Mr. Work organized a junior high basketball team. Much hard prac- C, tice followed, and the team ran smoothly and victoriously through its schedule, out- fighting and outplaying nearly every opposing team. The operetta, The Torreadors played to a packed house of over a thousand people. Entering the first chapel as Freshmen, cocksureness and poise were pretended, but we looked silly, and we somehow knew it. Then came the embarrassing and humb- gf ling kidding from the upper classmen, and worst of all-everybody knew it was com- ing-we had to leave the auditorium first to the loud hoots and handclapping of the rest of the student body. H Then regular activities started. Blaine Mansfield was elected president, Martha ,Q 5' Amweg, vice-president, and Richard Curtis, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Sunderman was chosen class advisor. As Freshmen, this class of thirty distinguished itself. Five Fresh- I gf men boys turned out for football and stuck on the squad the whole season. That Q record has not been equalled since. In basketball, Joe Williams not only made the varsity, but was star forward and helped win games. Both Niles Williams and Joe 3 Williams made the varsity baseball nine. In our sophomore year we elected Lyman Gerould, presidentg Joe Williams, vice- l presidentg and Ruby Watkins, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Sunderman was again advisor. l cf Here studies were harder. It took more real studying and less showing off to keep up. Clyde Shaw fought it out on the gridiron to become varsity guard. Seven others made the traveling squad. Three Sophomores, Joe Williams, Donald Sonnanstine, and Niles ch Williams, played on the Red and White varsity quintet. This same trio upheld the Red and White colors of W. H. S. on the baseball diamond. Several more of' the class l 5 gf were added to both glee Clubs, orchestra and the band. Three sophomores carried lead parts in the important annual high school musical comedy. Activities started off immediately in our Junior year, and came fast and thick ex until the last day of school. Ted Cox, president, accompanied by Dallas Trent, vice- If 5' president, and Jim Westbrook, secretary-treasurer, called a meeting the first week i of school. Donald Sonnanstine brought in more glory by making the varsity eleven ,ai and out-punting every enemy punter he played against. However, this was only a drop in the bucket. Eight Junior boys made football VV's, both Don Houston and Jim Westbrook Hashed out of the second team ranks to play on the varsity basket- x ball team, making a total of four Juniors on the team of five men. Organization if f presidents and leaders in all activities cropped out from all over the class and four , Juniors took leading parts in the annual musical comedy. Nothing But the Truth if was produced as a class play. is Then came the long awaited event. For weeks previously, committees had been working to prepare the gymnasium for the Junior-Senior banquet. Boys dressed in 5 their best, and girls in dainty, long evening gowns radiating freshness and splendor, F9 danced through the shaded gym, which was beautifully decorated to represent the deck GJ of an ocean liner. The dancing and music went on for hours, then every one left. School was nearly over, the balmy spring air of the night smelled sweetly, one of the greatest events of high school life had been enjoyed and everybody was happy. ' This year, the Seniors opened activities by electing officers. John Noggle was i 3 made president, Blaine Mansfield, vice-president and Ben Hunt, secretary-treasurer. 1 Seven Seniors battled for the Red and White colors on the gridiron. On the bas- l gd ketball floor appeared four Seniors playing on that hard fighting, smooth passing quintet, which emerged with a victorious record. As in former years, the Class of '30 again contributed greatly to the baseball and track teams. Nearly every organization 'j Q. in high school was headed by a Senior. if It seemed that we had learned how to enjoy high school more. Things ran more smoothly and more naturally. Parties were looked forward to anxiously, more took gf part in having a lot of good times at these parties. Our last Junior-Senior Prom was looked forward to much more anxiously. Finally, the evening arrived. Even more l splendor prevailed at the impressive banquet and more gaiety was enjoyed as the l 3 graceful couples danced through the beautifully decorated gymnasium. The dignified preparation for the impressive graduation exercises. Then it was all ' over. Couples arrived early in the morning, and the Senior class met for the last time for the Senior breakfast in the crisp morning air by the lake. -By Ted Cox Page eighteen Sf Q 1 9 3 0 .... i ,li ...... ya- .cu ......

J u st Like a Ruby Asoui THE JUNIQRS lg In the year of 1927, approximately seventy people left Mr. Work's good Junior rp High and changed from lordly eighth graders to the most insignificant Freshmen. I In the strange new circumstances, the new high school students wandered aim- l gf lessly around the halls madly in search of their rooms. f'Hello, Freshmen, fell hard on the ears of these sensitive former eighth graders. However, as usual, this all wore off, and soon the Class of '31 was a regular part of the high school. H When these Freshmen elected officers to lead them through the first year, the . 1 following people were elected: Roberta Zechiel, president, Gladys Burke, vice-presi- s gg dent, Virginia Taylor, secretary-treasurer. Two months of high school life had passed into history when a huge wiener roast was arranged. The trees at Buffington's woods echoed back and forth the shouts of 3 whoopee that were part of the glorious affair. Three more social affairs took place before everybody left the education house for vacation. At the beginning of the Sophomore year, several new students were welcomed into theclass. When the boys all went to fight it out on the gridiron, the class sent a big representation. At the end of the season, seven husky and battered Sophs re- ceived letters. One of the big features of the year was a party with the Freshies. fp When everything, that makes a party, got going fast, the Freshmen showed themselves 'g to be good sports, and everything from dancing to tearing down the elaborate decora- gf tions to wear for themselves was enjoyed. The officers steering the class through the Sophomore year were as follows: President, Carroll Nicodemusg vice-president, Mary Stonierg secretary-treasurer, Vir- Q it ginia Taylor. Paul Gillespie was elected president, Lawrence Good, vice-president, and Lionel Barnes, secretary-treasurer, at the organization meeting. Three more boys carried the Red and White colors on the gridiron, two had made letters the year before in track, and one, Frank Randall, made the basketball team. 3 The Junior Play, always the next biggest event of the eventful Junior year, was 5 a presentation of the comedy, Never Touched Me. This play was more than a suc- : I cess, and helped make possible the biggest event in the Junior year-The Junior-Senior ,S banquet. This picturesque event took place in a gorgeously decorated gymnasium, under if' shaded and tinted lights. About one hundred and ninety boys, carefully dressed, girls in fresh, new formals and faculty members, enjoyed this greatest social experience in any high school studentis life. -By Gladys Burke '-B ?l Page twenty-six S 5 'L 5, - '-S ...... 1 9 3 0 .... .- JUNIGR SNAPSHOTS ..... ya fu ...... he 1 ..-... ...--. ya ...... he ...... in A 5 I 1 E . g Q 5 If SGPHGMDRE GIRLS ,A v,,NN, M-, . , I 'li 4 31 4 I 5 I i 'gi First Row-Dorothy Snyder, Sarah Allen, Loualtha Fritz, Edna Gantz, Doris 3 James, Maxine Baldwin, Donna Stuver. 1, l Second Row-Carmela Bellomo, Dorothy Page, Virginia Miller, Ruth Watts, Lola GJ Weltzien, Helen Wells, Jenny Wolf, Mildred Danas, Gertrude Loeher, Betty Gates, Burnice Shrimplin, Mary Police, Althea Jacobs, Dorothy Acker, Leora Schick, Eliza- ' S beth Toly. ,Q F Third Row-Grace Harter, Janet Curtis, Dorothy Dietz, Harriet Ribbeck, Mary gf Wuchter, Viola Roshon, Odessa Richardson, Dora Felix, Lucille Goltz, Jeannettel Brock, Q Doris Newcomer, Doris Vance, Lola Roach, Florence Steen, Thelma Lightfoot, Dorothy Yerkovich, Josephine Barborak.

At this meeting, Charles Kahl was elected president, Dan Gaston, vice- presidentg and Dudley Trent, secretary-treasurer. This meeting was the Start of the high school career of the Class of 1932. This group, which was, and is, the largest class ever enrolled in W. H. S., started activities shortly after its first meeting. Gathered around a roaring fire at Leatherman's Grove, in the open, the first social aiair was enjoyed as these Freshmen roasted Wieners and marshmallows. The wiener roast was followed by three parties later in the year. In the Freshman year, the Class of '32 was well represented on the practice field during football season. Among the large number of candi- dates, five Freshmen boys made the squad. Five boys of the '32 Class sur- vived the squad cuts and made the Red and White Basketball squad. In baseball and track, this class was again well represented. In the first meeting of this year, Charles Kahl received recognition for his executive ability, demonstrated during the previous year, and was again elected class president. Dan Gaston was again elected to the office of vice-president, while Harvey Hunsberger was elected secretary-treas- urer. The Sophomores were again well represented in activities. On the football field, several Sophomores again banged their way through the nights of practice on the gridiron. One member of the class, Virgil Crisa- fulli, made the varsity eleven and received his HW. When eighty-five students trooped into the gymnasium shortly after Thanksgiving, a large number of Sophomores were present. Among this number, five Sophomores again made the basketball squad. Charles Kahl made the varsity quintet and gained the reputation for being one of the hardest scrappers on the team. The Class of '32 also contributed to the baseball and track teams. In the fields of other activities, Sophomores have received recognition. Three members of the varsity debate team were Sophomores. Maxine Baldwin was elected president of the newly formed Prep Club, while Helen Wells and Virginia Miller also held offices. The first social event of the year came when a large number of Sopho- mores crowded into automobiles one night early in the fall to travel to a spot in Schanefelt's woods, where a roaring fire had been prepared by the committee for a wiener roast. Shortly after Christmas, the Sophomores and Juniors came to an agreement, which was followed by a Junior-Soph0- more party in the gymnasium. When the fresh warm air suggested romance and parties this spring, the Sophomores responded with the biggest party of the year.

S. debators launched themselves on the hardest season ever scheduled by the school. Mr. Baumer, who has directed three championship teams, was director. This year, the name of Wadsworth High was seen for the first time on the schedules of the Ohio State League. In this schedule, five teams fell before the talent of the Red and White debaters. This good record won second place in the district. Then came more work and more intensive training for the big debating feature of the three schools taking part in it-The Triangle Debate. The day arrived, and when the clever speeches of the experienced Wadsworth debators had upheld their beliefs and torn apart the opposing speeches, the judges announced Wadsworth as winner over both Barberton and Me- dina. This was the third consecutive year the W. H. S. teams have won the championship. Four debators are lost this year by graduation.

I' Clyde Shaw, president, Paul Gillespie, vice-president, Harold Heigh- berger, secretary, and Raymond Garshman, treasurer, started off activi- ties by scheduling joint meetings with other clubs. The Hi-Y boys en- 5' joyed their first social activity at the school, when they attended a Girl 'B Reserves-Hi-Y party, which was sponsored by the Girl Reserves. as After Christmas vacation the whole high school attended the Hi-Y ,Q u dance.

The orchestra was also responsible for the well- received musical entertainment at several social affairs in Wadsworth. However, the big event in the lives of the twenty-five students, who make up the orchestra, came this spring, when they presented a concert fi at the auditorium. Merry Wives of Windsor, The Strauss Waltz and ' Tales of Vienna Woods were received in a way which paid tribute to the ability of these students, and to their director, Miss Joki. ii Page forty 1 9 3 0 .WHISPERER .

At football and basketball games, the support given to the teams by the band is worthy of commen- dation. Its snappy music made the fighting spirit of the players leap, and 1 when enthusiasm lagged, another snappy tune would break forth to liven Q11 things up. Marches to the field proved to be quite an attraction. The Red and White uniforms, coupled with cheering students in automobiles and on foot, created an exhibition which drew many onlookers. Under the able direction of E. K. Bennett, Jr., this department has improved and expanded to such an extent that the Wadsworth High School Band can be favorably compared to any in the state. The members have 1 1 been faithful in attendance and conscientious in their work, thus deriving :T much personal benefit as well as contributing to the success of the organi- zation as a whole.

When the seventeen husky athletes, who made up the membership of the WU Association, met last fall, the following officers were elected e to carry out the plans for a big year: President, James Westbrook, vice- f president, Clyde Shaw, secretary-treasurer, Niles Williams. The first activity of the association was a carnival held in the gym- I, nasium. The public was invited, and the proceeds were to be used for an athletic banquet. Later the Pep Club and the W Association held a combined party in the gym. Dancing, entertainment, and refreshments were enjoyed by all-the latter being the most welcome by the athletes. From last year's spring sports and the fall's football squad, there : were seventeen men who had received W's and were eligible for member- ship. No sooner had every one returned after Christmas vacation than neophytes were to be seen everywhere, dressed strangely, and going 1 through all kinds of ridiculous capers. The membership of the club now stands at twenty-five. ff Page forty-four : .6 ....... ...... ...... ...... .fz 1930 rn,-an ....... rm, -o-as ...... mf-.sz ...... h,'o'.G ...... .

Ja f' u ' ,X by l For the past two years the school had been made much less interesting because of the poor spirit of the student body. It was high time some wide- J 5 awake club offered a stimulant to the stagnant student body. The girls of C the Senior class recognized this situation last fall and organized the Pep , gl Club. The effort made by these forty girls was powerful, as was that of several other organizations and individuals working for the same purpose. .b 5' These eiforts have resulted in a lively bunch of students, who realize there l is nothing like a roaring cheer, and who go places and do things with the 1 gf Red and White teams. Headed by Ruby Watkins, president, Thresa Waddell, secretary-treas- 73 urerg Lillian Parmelee, cheer leader, and Miss Genevieve Cook, advisor, the club accomplished its purpose. I f' it 7?

Not Present-Clyde Shaw, Niles Williams, James Rivers. Forty eager and aspiring high school boys swarmed into the football meeting, answering Coach Derr's first call for grid candidates. Long, hard practice under the beating sun followed, and soon the weaker ones dropped out. Rough scrimmage eliminated more candidates until only a hard squad of boys ready for anything was left. Nine letter men remained, and around them Coach Derr started to build his team. Men were shifted to new positions and the first game found them not quite used to these positions. Probably the hardest fighting and the best work done by the Red and White eleven came in the Orrville and the Medina games. Playing the lid-lifter for the ,29 season, Coach Derr's gridders were defeated by Kenmore on the Kenmore field. Although the game was a hard-fought battle from the kickof to the final whistle, a terrific on- slaught of whirling end runs pushed the leather over the goal twice to net a 13-0 victory for Kenmore. The Red and White eleven journeyed to Orrville for the second game of the season. The home team performed superbly in avenging last year's defeat. Through heads-up playing and stone-crusher methods, our team managed to batter its way over the enemy goal line in the last few minutes of play for the 7-0 victory. Page forty-eight J' 1 93 0 E i WHISPERER The first home game of the season, the Red and Whites trounced Ellet in a bang-up game. Wadsworth scored in the first four minutes of f play. A little later Houston came in fast-intercepted a pass, and dashed seventy yards for a touchdown. Then Jim Rivers intercepted another enemy aerial effort and netted a second counter. Score-Akron Ellet 7, Wadsworth 19. 2 Wadsworth was defeated by Wellington in a fast game. Houston if gf started activity by dashing sixty yards on the kickoff. Following this run, the Derrmen fought their way to the three-yard line, where they lost the ball on downs. Wellington carried the ball for a touchdown in the first quarter. From this point the game was decidedly Wellington's. Score Wellington 21, Wadsworth O. ef 'e The Red and White eleven smothered Vermillion in a spectacular battle on our home field. Houston started the game by running through the entire Vermillion team behind perfect interference for a touchdown on the kickoff. Score, 7-20. ,s af Q Amherst defeated Wadsworth in a flashy game, in which Wadsworth made twice as many first downs and much more ground from the scrim- mage line. Our three hard fighting linemen, Shaw, Diplito, and Peters, battered the enemy line, while Williams, Kane and Rivers, ripped through for many gains. Sharpe netted Amherst's first counter on a ninety-yard run after intercepting a pass. Amherst 14, Wadsworth 7. The game was played in a sea of mud and fumbles were frequent. Ridgeville received a break when they blocked Houston's punt on the Wads- fi worth fifteen. Although the game was slow and unexciting, Niles Williams ii entered the game in the last few minutes and caught three consecutive 3 passes to steer the team on a fifty-yard march. Score: Ridgeville 12, Wadsworth, 0. l 3, Wadsworth tasted defeat at the hands of the strong Wooster eleven .5 in the Armistice day battle at Severance Stadium. It looked like a sure fa win for Wadsworth when Barborak and Kane started the game by ripping f off huge gains. But a Wadsworth pass was intercepted, and Wooster 5 staged a return march for the first counter. Score: Wooster 13, Wads- Q' worth 0. qi A crippled Wadsworth team was crushed by the strong New London f eleven on the Wadsworth field.

H. S. boys crowded into the gymnasium answering Coach Derr's first call for basketball candi- dates. Among this record number of candidates were the names of five lettermen left over from last year's victorious team. Niles Williams and Joe Williams, two Seniors Page fifty 1 9 3 0 .... P P P . P P 1.

Niles was undoubtedly one of the cleverest basketball players ever to don a Red and White uniform. Joe was one of the greatest scorers in the district, and had been highfpoint man of every W. H. S. team since his entrance into high school. These two boys with Westbrook and Houston, were to play their last year of high school basketball. Randall, a Junior, was the fifth. Altogether, things looked bright and happy, although Derr still had a few wrinkles to iron out of his cage machine. Playing their first game, the Red and White cagers burst out onto the floor to literally swamp a fast Apple Creek tea.m and to win by a large lead. Next week, a more finished Red and White quintet journeyed to Wooster to outplay, outpass, and outscore that powerful aggregation. The following night, Garfield, one of the most Eowerful teams on the '30 schedule, was met, and the Derrmen lost after a furious att e. Then came the worst catastrophe of the season. Niles Williams, one of the most important cogs in the Wadsworth machine, crushed his hand and was put out for the season. However, the quickly patched Wadsworth team met Akron Ellet on their own Hoor, and fought their way through to a decisive victory. After Christmas vacation came the first conference game of the season, with Me- dina, one of the oldest rivals of Wadsworth. The furious battle brought over a thou- sand spectators out of their seats during the entire last quarter, and the final score pronounced Medina the victor by a matter of two points. The following night, the Red and White team went on the home fioor against Kenmore, and a hard last quarter battle ended in a deadlock. In the furious, exciting play of an overtime period, the Derrman always kept their heads, and by superior speed ran away with the argu- ment. So it was in this game. The final score pronounced Wadsworth winner. A fast, exciting battle was lost to an old rival, Barberton. In the next game, an infuriated Red and White squad upset the dope by humbling both the first and second teams of Ravenna High School. Orrville came up to Wadsworth and returned with a victory. In the second conference game, Wadsworth journeyed up into northern Ohio to swamp Amherst in the first quarter, to leave Amherst catch up, and then to win the exciting overtime fight. Brookside and Ridgeville fell hard before the superior play- ing of the Wadsworth quintet, and then a game was lost to Orrville. In the next game, the Red and White warriors journeyed again to crush Ver- million by running wild from the first minute of play. Wooster journeyed to Wadsworth and avenged the earlier season defeat by winning by a fevw points. A victory over Wellington and a loss to Cuyahoga Falls followed. Then Wadsworth journeyed to New London for the battle which was to mean the winning or the losing of the conference championship. The Wadsworth High quintet opened with its usual smooth, fast play. and quickly took the lead. The Derrmen led all the rest of the first half by outplaying and outpassing the New Londoners. The second half the Wadsworth boys opened a little bit slower, but they still kept on the long end of the score as the third period ended. The Wadsworth rooters screamed their delight over what seemed to be a sure VVadsworth victory, and the winning of the cup. Then New London broke forth with a terrific rally and won in the last 'few minutes over the weakened Red and White team. The following Saturday the four veteran Seniors played their last game of high school basketball, and turned in a victory over their ancient enemy, Medina, to send machine loads of Wadsworth High rooters out on a wild spree of celebration.

Trackmen are not often developed fully in one season. Neither are track teams often developed in one or two years. This year opens Wadsworth's third year of track athletics. Last year the track team won only a few honors. However, this is good when it is considered that last year was really the first that track has achievd the prominence of a major sport, and that there was an amazing scarcity of material. This year when Coach Stoaks issued his call for track candidates, thirty W. H. S. boys answered and signed up for the sport. Among these were only two letter men left over from last year. Several others had been out for the team the previous year, but had not been placed in any meets. However, as before, Coach Stoaks and the squad are greatly handicapped because there is no track or field. Un- doubtedly, by next year the much discussed W. H. S. Athletic Field will be completed and Wadsworth will have more opportunity to enter stiff competition. ' Page fifty-fhrec fl Yfwy'x4r1yYrwyYf.bf 1 9 3 0 Xcyiyxyxy' L gb Ji ...... Pl, J1 ......
