They were the underlings, the unimportant Freshmen. Now this same group has completed its work in high school, and although the group has somewhat dwindled, it has stuck together through the four years. But these boys and girls didn't remain unimportant for long: they soon became so active that even the Seniors regarded them as a group to respect and admire. Soon after the school year of 1939 began the Freshmen were off! The president proved to be one of the best and it was under his guidance that the class began. Parties galore were held-more activities than the other classes had seen in a while. There was a wonderfully successful hayride and various other types of parties. What a jolly year! In the Sophomore year this group continued on its merry pace. The former president was good enough for them again, and he soon showed the upper classmen what a class could do. The class proved that their pep and vitality could last. Hayride, school parties, and skating parties-such a whirl! And then during the Junior year the class brought forth its originality and ability. This was the year that Anna became presidentithe first girl for quite a while to lead a class. But it was'no mistake. This was a year of work for them and Anna ably led them through. The main job was the Prom-and such a Prom as they presented to the Seniors! The class raised money for the Prom by selling stationery-a very original and quite ,profitable campaign. And then the last few weeks of school were busy ones. The gym never saw such decorations. The idea of a colonial mansion was excellent-and just ask the '42 class how they liked the Prom! But the Senior year was different. The world was in a turbulent state and the class was affected. It was during this year that the boys and girls became men and women. Activities were a second thought: the war was first in everyone's mind. Quite a few members left the class to serve in the armed forces. Even though this class proved to be the most active one the high school had seen for a long time, studies were foremost. And so it will be some of the members of this graduating class of '43 that will help to bring the world back in a hap- pier condition, so that other timid Freshmen can live and frolic as they once did.

Four years ago there passed through the IRON gates of Wadsworth High 125 freshmen who were without a doubt destined to be the most aggressive, the most intelligent, and the most handsome group of Morons who ever daunted the port-holes of dear Old Si Wash! Little did they know then, that after struggling relentlessly for four long hard years they, and they alone would be the Senior Class of 1943. fThey did have a sneaking suspicion of the fact though.D And now as they look back over the years they wonder: Was it worth it? Did we study till 12:00 every night for nothing? Did we avoid parties, dances, and hay rides to stay home and study merely for good grades? No!-we did all this as though it were fun- that was our cause .... No play, all work-LIKE FUNNY! Now that you have been told a little about this courageous group of gold diggers, we will try to give you a few uncensored facts about some of their unwilling actions: . . . In the summer of '42 Bill Bowers turned grave digger to accumulate money for wolf- ing purposes. The 1943 Whisperer B AND B CUT RATE STORE . . . Dick Ebert was unjustly arrested last September for hiding a small unimportant time bomb in Mr. Work's oflice, . . . Mr. Sunderman and six chemistry students were lost for two hours in Jim Crook's artificial snow storm, March 2, 1942, . . . Elmer Broughton increased his popularity last November by drawing Errol Flynn's por- trait and selling them to the girls for a dollar apiece. . . . Preston Clements worked as head engineer on the Erie Railroad lines during the '42 summer vacation. . . . Claude Crawford received a loving cup for discovering a process to make synthetic spit balls, last December. . . . Warren Clements slaved last summer on the state chain gang so he could earn enough money to operate his little gem slot machine. . . . Wilbur Cook went officially into photography recently. Who knows, some day he might even become another Seabiscuit. . . . Jerry Hileman left the country January 17, 1940, to become a city slicker. . . Today, Lloyd Cwraff volunteered to try out the schoo1's latest addition-Padded Cells. . . . Donald Ebert was arrested today by the United States Army Air Corps for not radio- ing his position. Donald claims his motorcycle didn't come equipped with a radio. . . . Benny Hartman and Dick Pirman were the first ones into the Barberton-Wadsworth football game: of course they got there just after Christmas 19391 . . . Lee Kahn studied his whole freshman year to be Mortimer Snerd's understudy. . . . Bea Mann was almost expelled from school the second week of her junior year for chew- ing tobacco in study hall. . . In '42 Nancy Kent, contrary to Miss 1-lileman's actions, turned farmer. . . Glee Krichbaum was awarded the pool sharps medal at Bake's, Friday, Nov. 13, 1939. . . . Alice Martin was found shooting the windows out of Everhard's greenhouse with her sling shot from her lofty position in study hall last May. . . . Mary Ellen Overholt, June Mackey, and Esther Melvin took a petition to Mayor Stein yesterday to make the blackouts last just a little longer. . . , Sonny Price filed suit against the Scat Man for stealing his stuff during the summer vacation. . . May 1, 1940-Chuck Van Duzer took his annual bath today. . . . Two of our members, Arthur Peterson and Ray Willis, were arrested for removing six parking meters when they wouldn't give out with Benny Goodman today, August 4, 1939. . . . Francis Smith was laid up for two weeks after the Senior hayride because he froze his eyebrows. , . . Bill Fagan left for the Army Air Corps Monday, December 14, 1942. From the way he has handled that Ford he should soon be an ace! lf any strangers ever read this hunk of masterpiece much of it can just be ignored. In view of the present crisis, we felt it necessary to add a reasonable facsimile to humor now and then. 30 The 1943 Whisperer DR. JOHN E.

TROYON EDNA WI'iBBER BONNIE J. WELDAY FRANCES WELTY The 1943 IVhz'sper0r THE WRIGHT DEPARTIVIENT STORE A GLANCE AT THE FUTURE Among his other numerous feats, Mr. Close has the control over a certain carpet he possesses which en- ables him to penetrate the mysterious outer walls of the future! One evening after working hours, a few of us industrious 'lil rascals, who stayed after school to do a little extra work on prepositional phrases and dusty blackboards for Mr. Lape, decided to investigate this mysterious strip of floor covering. After muster- ing up enough courage and a Sl.75, we embarked on the great Swami's threshold. Because he had just made a trip, Mr. Close advised us to wait until he could save enough carpet-ration coupons to enable us to go further into the future, and by waiting, we would also have time enough to round up more brave students to make the journey. Well, Mr. Close just now informed us he is ready, and so1are all you students set? I.et's go .... Well. we didn't quite hit the square, did we? Here we are in Wadsworth, Ohio. 1958, four blocks up on Broad Street. Look!-there is where Jerry Will- yard and Norma Doss live. I hear their husbands spent two years perfecting a robot man who was so perfect that Norma and Jerry Hled suit for divorce and married the robot. What does that billboard say? Painted by Elmer Broughton. Mayor's photograph by Von Cook. In the lower corner is a small picture and a sentence that reads, Vote for Sailors. Listen! Sirens! Oh, that's Goodie chasing Bill Bowers, Preston and Warren Clements, Bill Lance, and the rest of Al Capone's mob! Here, let's hop aboard this sight-seeing bus and tour Wadsworth in style-Now, on our right you see the gym of the Immortal five, the basketball team. Members of the team are Ruby Gantz, Bonnie Jones, Alyce James, Bea Mann. and Ray Willis. I hear they've just won one game in a row! That man on your left is the eminent scientist, Claude Crawford, who discovered a new f1sherman's rule that starts at one inch and tapers down to 1-16 of an inch for measuring undersized fish. The next house is that of Lloyd Graff who turned into a bed-of-nails sleeper. He Bled suit for di- vorce from Miss Sandra Lee, ex-movie star, because she ate crackers in bed. That hole in the street is the residence of James Crook, magician, who devised a method for sitting on the top of a piece of string, and then went crazy trying to figure out how he did it. This huge factory you see on the left is owned jointly by Dick Pirman, Fern Jessel, Bob Shannon, and Esther Melvin. This is the place, ladies and gentlemen, where you get all the loads you take off your chests! In Wadsworth you even find movie stars. This next house is the home of Basil Madigan, the boy with the movie contract. Some say he got it out of a machine at Chippewa Lake Park. 48 Here is Krichbaum Park. It was formerly called Durling Park, I believe. Miss Krichbaum had the name changed when she bought this section of town. That flash you just saw go by was Miss Nancy Kent, in her new rocket convertible. Miss Kent be- came one of XVadsworth's first women farmers, and cleaned up when they rationed canned goods! This cute little bungalow on our right is the home of the one-time heavy-weight boxing champion of the world, Neal Hartman. Mr. Hartman retired from the ring shortly after he had obtained the crown. His only regret is that he lost his pawn ticket. That low building is the plant of Shevel, Shockey, and Bird, Manufacturers. These bright lads and lasses deliver all the darn that people are always being. On our right you see the home of the man who had a lot to do with our winning the war of 1941- 43--Lynn Porter, the man who invented those won- derful tear gas bombs from onions! As we continue down the street we see those two noted gentlemen of culture. Jack Rogers and Harold Merritt. Mr. Merritt is a professional stock-holder: Mr, Rogers is a professional hand-holder! Well! Well! I see we are approaching the great square of Wadsworth. Those lonesome-looking fel- lows standing there are Merle Pifer, Charles Van Duzer, Fred Diehm, Dick Ebert, George Allenbaugh, and Art Peterson, and I see that the poolroom burned down! Gentlemen, will you please be seated! Those cute little bundles of charm are Flip Houston, Fern Easterday, Eudora Davis, and .lean Crumley. These ladies are the founders of that new women's Navy Corps, the DRIPSY That man that just passed us is Mayor John Oross, the fellow who made a cool million way back in 1943 when he presented the idea of rationing ration- ing cards to Congress. As we continue down College Street we see, on our right, the Wadsworth Municipal Cemetery. That huge tombstone there in front is the one of the fa- mous ping-pong champion, Stanley Price. The in- scription reads: Here beneath these polished stones Lies the body of Stanley Jones, His name was Price-not Jones But Price doesn't rhyme with stones! Besides, he won't know whether it's Price or Jones! Well, as we wind our way back up the street we see a wonderful sight-WADSWORTH CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. If you will kindly step out we will tour these marble halls. Those two important, well-dressed people coming up from the print shop are Raymond Brubaker and Thelma Fulton, the school's janitors. Ah, here is the office. That man behind the desk is Lee Kahn, he has been the principal ever since he The 1943 Whisperer THE WADSWORTH FARMEIPS EXCHANGE CO. A GLANCE AT THE FUTURE graduated in 1943. It was rumored he attained his popularity when he had the school board install root beer in the drinking fountains. As we move down the hall we find ourselves ap- proaching that famed room, ZO7! When Mr. Lape retired in 1947, Miss Alice Marrin took his place. Miss Marrin has abolished the 8:30 detention class because she found it hard to get there before 10:30 herself! Madame, will you please put that whip back on Miss Marrin's desk and move along with the rest of the crowd? As we arrive at the top of the stairs we see room 308. The man who supervises this class room is a new teacher, a fellow named Grunwald, I believe. -VVell folks. if we Want to complete the tour we must get back to the bus. Driver, go down South Lyman, please. This, ladies and gentlemen, is commonly known as the business section of Wadsworth. First, we see Everhard's greenhouse. Next, we see Noggle's Hop- house. This section over here used to be a miniature woods until Jerry Hileman, chemist, discovered a new form- ula and turned it into a silk stocking factory. This road we are now riding on used to be very rough. One day four of Wadsworth's wise citizens, Marjorie Bidinger, Clarence Ruch, Bob Hugi, and Martha Stoler, grabbed a hold at each end and pulled. Then they tucked it under the pavement at each end. The result was this smooth road. You all remember Miss America of 1957, Wayne McFadden? Well, this was her old factory. Last month Miss June Mackey, Wayne's rival in the Miss America contest, bought Miss McFadden out and changed the product slightly. The factory now pro- duces live wolves instead of live chickens. These two fashionable houses made of glass are owned by that great Hollywood Star. Miss Mary Ellen Overholt. We could have an interview with Miss Overholt but she is very temperamental and besides, she's not at home. This thriving little shop on our left belongs to that eminent man-about-town, Mr. Thomas Speed. This shop has been visited by all the celebrities of the world. Shall we go in? These radios we hear have been collected from all over the world: most of them are antiques. Why, here is one that will pick up reception only as far as Mars, and here .... well! there is the proprietor himself, Tom Speed. Mr. Speed, we've heard of your new wireless, tubeless, crystalless, portable radio, but we've never heard it. Could you give us a demon- stration? Does this dial do it? Squeekak awak--and now from Moscow we hear news of the elopement of Miss Lois Rohrer with Henry Swinkawickicowski, noted boxer. All Miss Rohrer had to say was, My husband is a big over- grown, punch-drunk moron, and I married him for his money-and oh yes! He also can't speak a word of English! The 1943 'Wh1'sperer And now to Germany-President Frans Schmid. the former Francis Smith, today placed the annual cactus plant on the grave of the man who had the world's one-time simplest mind-Adolf Hitler! Flash! from China! First Lady Jean Redinger addressed a group of teachers and professors on the subject How to Boil an Egg without the Aid of a Pan. Flash! It has been revealed today that Mr. and Mrs. Walters are expecting again. Just exactly when Mr. Walters' mother-in-law will go home is not yet certain, but the Walters' are expecting it to be soon. From New York we hear a strange tale about a man who was picked up by the police for walking the streets with nothing on but a bathing suit and shouting, 'iAtlas failed this time! Atlas failed this time! The man was identified as Louis Dispenza, restaurant-owner. Race-horse owner Faye McCaman has announced today that her prize horse Man of Biscuit died today of internal ailments caused by eating a sack of cement, three pounds of peanuts, and a gallon of water. Miss McCaman truthfully said, I don't see how a little thing like that could harm a horse. In New York today Mayor Arthur Zeffer is pin- ning a medal for outstanding bravery on Miss Sally Williams. Miss Williams is a Red Cross nurse and she dropped the collection box while on a subway. Although in the face of certain death, she bent over and picked it off the fioor. We could ask Miss Wil- liams to say a few words but her doctors won't al- low it. Flash! The McKain gang, headed by that notor- ious gun moll Pat McKain, has just broke reform school. Allies in the escape were Al Gardner, Paul Good, Lu Harpley, and trigger-gal 'iAnn Doyle. These killers were sent up last March for steam- ing glue off envelopes to make counterfeit postage stamps. All civilians be careful! These killers are armed with water-pistols-so, beware! If anyone knows the whereabouts of Light Fingers Mack Frederick, please inform the nearest police station or boy scout troop. She has left a very val- uable knife lying around-wedged between a jeweler's shoulder blades. We just want to return it. That's all of the news, ladies and gentlemen. And now I wish to ask you a very serious question: Do your feet hurt at nights? Do you feel all worn out after doing a big washing? Do you feel lifeless, tired, and irritable in the mornings? Do you? Well, so do I-and you don't hear me crying about it do you? your announcer has been Dick Richardson. And now, good night. Squeekak awak . . . You are now listening to the Swing Hour with Doris Friedt conducting. We swing to that new song by Jean MacMichael en- titled 'Don't Throw Grandma Out.

Well folks. you've all paid your respects to Mr. Speed and so let us move on to the Harmful Cigar- ette Factory. It is owned jointly by Anna Mae Wit- schey, Ella Mae Emch, Rose Marie Doyle, Anna Lee Fiely, and Lena Mae Hilton. They made their cig- arette famous by advertising it as being the most throat-irritating, tongue-biting. foul-smelling, harmful cigarette on the market. This next building is the famed Wadsworth Col- lege. It covers six square blocks. The faculty is hav- ing its picture taken on the front steps. From left to right you see Dean Virginia Hutchinson, Dean Allen Ressler, English Professor Shirley Bachman. History Professor Margaret Rasor. Spanish Professor Violet Hornyak, and the instructor of dog-paddle swimming, Blanche Claar. Handsome group, aren't they, in their long, white beards? I see we are entering the residential section again. This house belongs to Miss Phyllis Brighton Hang- over, the former Connie Hoover. Miss Hangover is a noted serial writer. Her latest work is the serial Mary's Third Cousin, Ma Perkins, Who Is In No Way Related to Scattergood, Gets a Divorce. This next house is where Wadsworth's only woman hermit lives-Viola Buerge. She used to be a celeb- rity, but when her husband married someone else she felt a little slighted and decided to live alone the rest of her life. As you are probably noticing, the next three houses are exactly alike. They are owned by Miss Louise Tubbesing, Miss Jean Clifford, and Miss Marlys Hoover. The farmhouse on the left is one of the largest in the country. It is the Bowman-Murray Farm. El- eanor and Maxine bought the farm from Jeanne Garn, Marilyn Nelson, and June Ellis, when they re- tired after clearing the seventy-three million mark on their famous self-peeling potato and tearless onion. That fellow out there milking the chickens is handy- man, Max Gruver. That lady over there watering the barn is Virginia Cox, handy-lady. This beautiful mansion next to the sewage plant is owned and operated by Professor Donald Ebert-aw thority on wild life! This, ladies and those humans with you. is where the railroad tracks used to be. They were torn up 50 in '48 when railroads became obsolete. That lady standing there is Jean Clifford, still waiting on the l l :I5 I Listen?-rocket fire-engines coming this way! Why, it's the Y. O. O. W. F. F. C. O. W. O., the Young Or Old Women's Fire Fighting Corps of Wadsworth, Ohio. Who's at the wheel? Why, it's Olga Fiir. The other members are Florence Leatherman, hoseman, Ann Rodich, hoseholder: Jean Messner, water turner-oner: and Dorothy Overholt, umbrella-holder. This corner used to be the Echo Grill's parking lot until Harold Hoover decided it had looked bad about long enough, and so he bought it and built a bar across the street. Now it's Hoover's Grill parking space. As we continue down State Street we find many interesting sights, such as poles, grass, trees, etc. On our right you see the spot where the old salt works used to stand. In 1945 Emily Blyth and Marjorie Hoff bought it and changed it to a hair-restorer plant. I hear they were a huge success. On our right you see a strange sight. It's George Galbreath's ultra ultra-modern house. Its roof is constructed of invisible shingles, its walks are con- structed of invisible plastic, the foundation is of in- visible bricks-in fact, you can't even see the house! Look! There's George poking around up in the attic now. This next section of houses. extending from here to about where Rittman used to be. is owned by Ne- oma Stoll, printer, who turned out one thousand new twenty-dollar bills with her own picture on them- and by the way, this is just between you and me! As we wind our way back up towards the heart of this thriving metropolis, you will notice the queer pavement pattern. The red and green plaids were designed by Betty Means, the blue and orange stripes were added by Elsie Hantzsche and Dorothy Hart- man, and the black paint covering the whole affair was placed there by John Kelleman. On our left you see where the Ohio Match Com- pany stood for many years. A few years ago Jean- ette Buckingham, Virginia Bowser, Beatrice Foley. Dorothy Reiter, Mildred Amstutz, and Virginia Har- ris bought the plant and now they manufacture all the guns that people are always being a son of. And now up the street a bit is that great store--but I'm afraid we must be going. readers, because here comes Mr. Close and his carpet, and so we'd better be say- ing good-bye to WADSWORTH, OHIO, 1958. The 1943 Whz'sperer THE STAR TELEPHONE CO. We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, -Abraham Lincoln THE GAME On Friday evening, November 9, Wadsworth's once-beaten Grizzlies pulled the upset of the football season by sending the Barberton Magics down to defeat for the first time in sev- enteen years by a Wadsworth aggregation: The victory, although slim-the score being 7-6+ became something that every member of the football squad will cherish for the rest of his life. This win not only broke the Magic domination over the Grizzlies but also stopped the Magic winning streak of ten games in a row. Both'teams were held scoreless in the lirst two periods, but they came in at half-time to leash a powerful attack that kept the fans on the edge of their seats until the final gun. The Magics scored first, roaring down the Held after the kick-off to the Wadsworth 38-yard line. Prom here Jack Miller, pint-sized halfback of the Magics, scampered around end for the re- maining thirty-eight yards. The score at the end of thefthird quarter stood at Barherton---6 and VJadsworth-O. Then Wadsworth took over and Captain Bob Shannon crashed across the Barberton goal line two minutes after the start of the fourth quarter. Shannon also hit center for the winning point. Because there has always been such keen rivalry between Wadsworth and Barberton, and because the Magics had previously been victorious over the Grizzlies for seventeen long years, this game meant much to both teams. a And so we are including this synopsis of the game in our book so that those exciting moments may be recorded in the annals of history and so that all may read and remember the l942-43 seasonal football game whose score remains forever on record as Wadsworth-7 and Barberton-6!

Wrestling Tournament Due to conditions that could not be helped, the wrestling team of l943 was unable to schedule any matches during the wrestling season. However, on February 26 and 27, four of the Wadsworth wrestlers, under the coaching of Russell Doan, went to the Case Club, Case University, Cleveland, to participate in the State Tournament. The four boys were Bill Gerberick, Junior, l28 pounds: Jim Sailors, Senior, heavyweight: Bob Shannon, Senior, 165 pounds, and Bob White, Junior, l4-5 pounds. Gerberich was eliminated in the first round and the other three won first, second, and third places respectively. White received a gold medal, Shannon a silver medal, and Sailors a silver belt buckle. The team as a whole ranked fifth in the State. 56 The 1943 Whisperer BAKER REXALL DRUG g e 2 -i Jerry Hileman, Mary Ellen Overholt, Nan Simester. Jean Danals, Glee Krichbaum, Bonnie Baker.

We, the party of the Hrst part, make it our last wish that this should be carried out by the party of the third part, the student body of the year that we are erased from this universe, which should feel it their duty to transpose the articles willed from the party of the lirst part to the part of the second part, the people to whom the wills are directed.
