A new group of officers had to be elected, as the officers elected last spring became ineligible to hold office. The club has changed its policy and instead of holding its meetings at the school it holds them at the members' homes. ln matter of entertainment, the club is well supplied with talent. The programs usually consist of several musical numbers and occasionally a skit in French. THE NHISPERIR T if Lx y 1. k we QITT Ill C-- Q. ali aff .fs -seg, 'flur- 4 La- , .

No, it isn't the Four Hundred of Wadsworth High. Nor is it a snobbish highbrow set. But the determining factor is that only senior girls are eligible for membership. Our purpose has been to promote a feeling of enthusiasim and school spirit at athletic contests. We feel that the student body has cooperated splendiclly with us. during our business enterprises which we have under- taken for the benefit of the school. This year as in preceding years, Pep Club sweaters have been bought. They were white with red emblems.

The only loss was suffered at the hands of Kent Roosevelt, in the championship game. Kent State, Ravenna and Orrville had been beaten previously. At the end of the season, Captain Bob Dutton was chosen on the mythical league team. Ray Holcomb, Kieth Wolfe and Elton Longenecker were picked on the second team. Opening the season with a strong C. Falls team, although outweighed and inexperienced they were not outfought and carried the fight to the op- ponents before falling before a barrage of passes l2-7. Dutton scored the Grizzlies points. The second game was played against a weak Kent State team and the Grizzlies finished on the long end of a I5-0 count. Elton Longeneckefs forty yard touchdown run featured the first league win. In the second league tilt Wadsworth opposed a fighting Ellet team and with three minutes left to play Ellet scored 7-0. The Grizzlies came back and with one minute to play, the ball on the Orangemen's forty, three passes from the hands of Capt. Dutton, each finding its mark, the last to Roth for a touch- down set the stage for l..ongenecker's after game placement score 7-7. Wadsworth displayed power a-plenty in running over a supposedly strong Ravenna team 24-7 for the second league win. Dutton, Holcomb, Longenecker and Larkins all scored. The game with Buchtel brought a closely contested game in which Wadsworth, coming from a scoreless first half, rang up three touchdowns to come within one point of a tie 20-l9. Dutton, Longenecker and Larkins scored. The next game was a league game with Orrville. Wadsworth's running attack hit its stride in the last half with McLaughlin scoring twice on twenty yard runs. Longenecker also scored twice and Wade Shook scored once. Final score W. H. S. 30, Orrville 0. With a chance for the league championship against a strong Kent Roose- velt team Wadsworth's running attack never got started and with Mileski and Mittiga leading the way Kent smothered us under a 28-6 score. Against a bigger Kenmore team Wadsworth upset the dope bucket by beating the Akron team for the first time under Coach Art Wright's regime l2-6. The line played a great defensive game and the backfield play was good with Captain Dutton scoring the Grizzlies points. The last game of the season was played with our arch rival, Barberton and under the guidance of their captain, johnny Ries administered the first shutout to the Wrightman 28-0. SEASON RECORD Won 4 Lost 4 Tied l T If NHISPIRIR Qfffll Ill G... FOOTBALL Captain Bob Dutton: Came in to his own this year in earning his third letter. Directed the team play on the field and was the baCkf'lCld'S triple- threat man. Co-captain Ray Holcomb: Earned his second letter at the end position. Few plays were run around him. Bob Mason: Made his letter in his last year. Bob was a good blocker on of- fense and a fine defensive end. Bernie Tighe: Earned his second monogram. Played guard in his junior yeai but shifted to tackle in his last year. Wade Shook: surprised every one by improving his play at tackle so much over his previous record. His unusual speed made him a fine defensive player. Wilbur Grassel: Made his first appearance on the football squad and received his letter as a Senior. Keith Wolf: Captain-elect for next year's team, earned his second letter at a guard post. Pete Bunnelle: Got his letter by playing a fine game at guard, although he was only a Sophomore. Bill Sinks: Despite an early season injury, Tom won his by his ag- gressive play at guard. Amherst Young: Did an excellent job at holding down the center post in spite of his small stature. Bill Roth: Bill's speed and ability to snare passes made him an asset at the quarterback post. Don King: Donovan made a fine quarterback because of his excellent blocking. Elton Longenecker: A one-hundred and ninety pound Junior, played half- back and used his weight to advantage in cracking opposing lines. Leroy Larkins: Played at halfback. His speed baffled opponents in the open field. jack McLaughlin: A senior, although not a brilliant offensive player, his long punts were a defensive asset at all times.

BASKETBALL Concluding the season with a hard fought victory over a strong Ravenna team 25-16, the Wadsworth High School quintet recovered the coveted Western Reserve League championship for the first time since I933. The championship game was played on the Ravenna hardwood with each team having six victories and one loss. A victory for Ravenna meant their perma- nent possession of the cup but a fighting Grizzly team outfought them to capture the tilt. During the regular season play the team won ten games while losing eight, the only disappointing factor being their inability to beat Barberton and Akron teams although capturing two verdicts over a weak Akron Ellet team. ln the district tournament held at Goodyear the Grizzlies lost their opening game, to the same Ravenna team they had defeated a few days previously for the championship, I7-I 5. Inability to hit the hoop from short range with numerous shots lost the game. At the close of the season Holvey and Holcomb were chosen on the All- Western Reserve League team at forward and guard posts respectively. Dutton received a position at a guard post on the second team. SCORES 'FLeague Games xW. H. S. 40 Orrville 26 W. H. S. 24 A. South 36 W. H. S. ZI A. Kenmore 25 XW. H. S. 30 Orrville 25 W. H. S. 28 A.

WESTERN RESERVE CHAMPIONS Composed entirely of last year's reserve squad with the addition of Ed Culp, the current Wadsworth basketball team completed an exceptionally successful season. The individuals whose efforts were instrumental in captur- ing the Western Reserve League championship are: Captain Ray Holcomb, aggresive guard whose long shots were an ever-present threat. One of the smoothest ball-handlers on the squad. Bob Dutton. Bob was the defensive bulwark of the team. Jack Tiger Holvey, probably the best shot coach Wright ever de- veloped. Led team scoring is practically every contest, was season's out- standing all-around player. Bill Blondy Roth, noted for speed and attempting impossible shots. Excellent under-basket player. Bob Beef Sondles, playing center with a height disadvantage. Bob nevertheless was an important cog in controlling the tip-off. Bob Fog Mason, specialized in defensive play. A very scrappy guard who used his height to advantage. Ed Stan Culp, playing his first season of varsity ball. Ed developed fast, climaxing his effort with some sparkling plays in the final contest at Ravenna. johnny Curly Lucas, a good point maker who cavorted at a forward post. With confidence gained johnny should be an invaluable asset to next year's outfit. Albert Tuck Pifer, smallest man on the roster, employed his fleetness to hold down a forward berth capably. Jack McLaughlin-Jack was noted for his expert guarding and played well at either a forward or guard post because of his accuracy at the basket.

They finished high in the Reserve League standings for second teams with five wins and three losses. A starting team consisting of Bayduk and Dressler, forwards, Jones, center, and Bunnelle and Oross guards, was ably assisted by Malcuit, Lutz, Thomas, Sirnester, Hoelzle, Mills and Douglas. Hope of retaining the cham- pionship cup won by the Varsity this year is centered around these and re- maining lettermen from the Varsity. Fred Jones, center, led the scoring with I35 points. BASEBALL For the first time in five years, Wadsworth Hi will be represented by a ball team. Efforts of a number of boys interested in the sport, which has been dropped by many schools because of the short season and a comparatively high cost, helped bring back the sport. A number of schools have been written to in a search for games. Among the schools are: Sharon, Medina, Wooster, Orrville, Akron East, Akron West, Akron Hower Trade and Barberton. , Mr. Wright and possibly Mr. Dailey as assistant will be in charge of the team. New suits were ordered and interest in the sport seems to have reached a new high here. We hope the team has a successful season. WRESTLING The wrestling squad finished a fair wrestling season with a .600 aver- age. ln spite of having only three letter men at the beginning of the season, Coach Hall produced a squad that defeated Cuyahoga Falls twice and Akron North once, while being bested by Akron East an-d Akron Garfield. K. Wolf and B. Tighe were undefeated during the year, which extends Wolfe's record of undefeated seasons to three. He has been undefeated since he entered high school. Coach Hall predicts a better season next year, as the only losses by graduation are Tighe and Cleckner. The men earning letters this year were: B. Tighe, Keith Wolfe, Ed Engler, Floyd Martin, and Jack Russell. Bob Whitmore also received a man- ager's letter.
