Wadsworth High School - Whisperer Yearbook (Wadsworth, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1960 volume:

.W.,.,, - h 9 WHISPERER I FCMUJC1 f A Q, S f N 53 Aoswo if Foreword Forty-six years ago, in 1914, the first yearbook was published at Wadsworth High School. It was christened the WHiSperer, because WHiSperer contained W for Wads- worth, H for High, and S for School. As this is the last year in which this building will be Wadsworth High School, we, the 1960 An- nual Staff, have based the theme on those same three letters-W, H, and S-We Have School. The high school has changed some- what, as the picture above, taken during the early 194O's, will show to the present stu- dents. The V on the school was the allies' symbol for victory during World War ll. Al- though the year has changed, W.H.S. is still much the same school. Yes, at Wadsworth High, We Have School. This may seem a simple statement at first glance, but there is more to it than meets the eye-much more-for there is more to W.H.S. than meets the eye. A school is a place to teach and to learn, but classes aren't the only thing we have at Wadsworth High. We have the friendly hello in the halls, the roar of the crowd at a football game, the secret smile in En- glish class, the thunderous applause at a class play, the melodious harmony of our band and choir at concerts, and every de- tail of every event, of every day, of every year we spend at VV.H.S. These are the things which do not meet the eye, and these are the things which We Have at Wads- worth High.

School life at W.H.S. is a mixture of classes hallway horseplay, assemblies, detention, and ex- tracurricular activities. Without spirit these things would be boring and uninteresting, tor spirit is the vitality of W.H.S., the reason for our goals, our ac- complishments, and our fun.

As a matter of fact, Jerry Swank is contemplating re-entering the building to make sure his books are in the midst of the inferno. The students realize that at W.H.S. fire drills must be swift and orderly. The fence in front of W.H.S. is commonplace, lt is frequently seen by the students from the windows of the building. And yet, as pictured here, the most commonplace thing is beautiful when seen under different circumstances. wp-af-'H RJ' .. K . - Qi. Richard Moore, anxious to discard his crutches, of- fers them to Sam DiPolito. Sorry, man, I already have enough legs. Besides, asks Sam, where could I carry more crutches? Undoubtedly, if they could, Dave Graves and Fred Metting would be glad to stockpile their legs behind Sam's unencumbered ear.

Having prepared a model breakfast in home ec class, these eighth-grade girls are about to indulge in their own crea- tions, Margo Amstutz, Charlene Vorce, Sandi Noe, and Kay Houston smile proud- ly at the camera while they patiently wait to consume the foodstuffs that they have industriously prepared.

As a result ofthe hard work of these and others, this year's junior class sold more magazines than any preceding class of W,H.S. A Bob Winston, custodian of W.H.S., is being graciously as- sisted by Garth Wallace in his task of sweeping out the audi- torium. One of the largest problems that Bob and the other custodians are faced with is keeping this part of the high school clean. However, with the co-operation of the students, they do a fine iob of keeping Wadsworth High spic and span. v , . 3 .. ., I is Taking a camera break at the freshman class beatnik party at lsham are Eric Thom and Bill Hoerger.

Besides handing out detention slips, Mr. Hudso and Mr. Holmes also hand out written excuses fo admittance to class. Each morning a line develop in front of the auditorium as the students wait f permission to enter their classes. Here Pat Moyg gets her admittance slip from Mr. Hudson. Kay played the part of the wife and task force of cn somewhat dandyish plumber, and as a result of antics by her and other members of the play cast, her duties in the audience were not needed in the least. In the huddle traditional to ath- letic teams of W.H.S. and other schools preliminary to the start of a sporting event, the basketball team prepares to head for the hardwood.

The visitors from south of the border lived with members of the Spanish classes as brothers and sisters. Tours of O'Neil's Department Store, the Akron Beacon Journal, and the Bearfoot Sole Company were arranged for the guests. After Wadsworth, the Mexicans toured Niagara Falls, Wash- ington, D.C., New York City, New Orleans, and Putney, Ver- mont, betore returning home. , Nt: 1 Sf ?-S ' : 2 ' ' Mr. Shields and Miss Irma Encalada seem to be involved in o hot discussion.

To most students at W.H.S. this statement means little or nothing, but to the eleven members of the annual staff this signifies the end of a year's hard work. For every Wednesday since last summer, from seven until almost any hour of the night, this group worked to meet the ever-approaching deadlines. First there was the theme to decide, then the basic plans, then weeks of copy writing, layout making, and proofreading. To this list must be added the many little iobs. Everything done meant progress toward the completion of the book and less time until the annual staff's banquet. At that time they got their first view of their product. Then everything from the front cover to the back end sheet gave the annual staff their best pay-a feeling of accomplishment and pride. At the last assembly of the year all the closely guarded staff secrets were out--the queen was announced, the cover was revealed, the theme was read. A year's hard work-we hope well worth it. if 3 f Y . l y s A I 5 A , Q, 5, 497 Sue Lyon is adding the finishing touches to the huge Whisperer advertisement in the front of the auditorium.

Student Council Has Another Busy Year Every Monday at the beginning of the seventh period, some of Wadsworth's most competent students converge in Room 202 to hold their weekly student council meeting. This group of busy beavers seems to put a special spark in our school life. This year they co- operated with the P.T.A. in putting on the Big Wilson Dance to raise money for books to be placed in the new high school library. A rather novel event for W.H.S. was the talent show sponsored by the student council. ln this way money was earned, and the town was made which lot of worth well aware of our many talented students. Another proiect turned out very well was the sale of sweat shirts. It took a effort to get them, but when they did arrive, they were well it. The sweat shirts, of course, provided a good basis for another of student council's endeavors-fad day. Fad days were held about once a month on Friday. The student council is also a charitable organization, as is characterized by their tireless efforts in the food and clothing drive. These necessary items, once gathered, were given to needy people here and abroad. V 'Ri' tl.-:sg 3' Q .

'.T.A. Enables Students To Gain Valuable Experience Although the Future Teachers ot America w as iust revived after a period of in- activity, it was in full swing this year. lt gave many students the chance to get a taste of what teaching is like from the other side ofthe teacher's desk. Each future teacher had the opportunity to teach classes under the guidance ot a teacher ot his own choice. Duties performed by the student for the teacher included grading papers, taking over recess periods, and discussing individual problems of pupils. These tigures are only miniatures of the prehistoric animals that lived thousands of years ago, says Shirley Walls to two of her pupils during her student teaching activities. As a part of the F.T.A. each member teaches a class for one day each semester. This enables the members to really experi- ence lhe teaching techniques of today. Oh good, a class for our very own, declares Sharon Harter to Heidi Koppitch. Well . . ., drawls Mrs. Huston, not en- tirely your own. The regular teacher will be in the roam iust to be sure you can control the little kiddies.

JETS Aspire To Be Future Engineers The JETS Club is a club organized on a national scale for stimulating interest in engineering and assisting capable students toward engineering careers. Meetings were conducted both after school and in the evenings. At these meet- ings the members discussed their proiects and the different types of engineering. Ma- terial aiding such discussions was sent periodically from the national headquarters covering some varied aspects of engineering. During the evening meetings the mem- bers received professional guidance on their proiects from local engineers, who offered helpful tips and ideas. ln this manner, the future engineers enioyed a taste of what real engineering is.

Let's listen in. What a grand year it was! There was so much to learn and do. l don't think l'll ever forget the time Coach Ridley taught us some iudo holds at one meeting. Finally l can say that l've learned to defend myself from my little brother! And I can hear it yet-'Deck the halls with boughs of holly'-the time we went caroling for Christmas. lt was a beautiful snowy night-and snapping cold, just right for a caroling party. Fascination-that was the name of our formal-and that's exactly what it was too. But l certainly did appreciate and enioy it more when I realized how much work really goes into a formal. Committees for decorations, programs, refreshments - every minute detail taken care of weeks beforehand. Really, though, even the com- mittees were fun - and they taught us all how to work better together. Yes, it was a grand year-the meetings and their fellowship, the caroling on that snappy snowy night, and the formal that really was a fascination. I can't wait to loin Y-Teens next year!

The members enioy the many new and different songs that they encounter each year. They sing a variety of religious, popular, and show songs as well as many old favorites. As the increased student enrollment creates the problem of a crowded school, it also creates a problem for the choir. This year the choir is the biggest ever at W.H.S. The accompanist even had to go without a choir robe, as there was a shortage. The choir worked very hard this year to blend their many voices into a fine quality of sing- ing, thus proving the bigger the better. This year, as in the past, the choir was given the privilege of doing several pro- grams outside the school. This gives them the chance to perform for different clubs and schools, showing their ability and pride in being members of the W.H.S. choir. A helping hand is always welcome among choir members as Just as important to the girls' glee club as the girls them- they prepare to get ready before curtain time. selves is the accompanist, Betty Kay Smith.

Small But Mighty Reserve Band Plays On Although some of the members of the reserve band have arms a little short for seventh position on a trombone and the basses are bigger than the musicians that ploy them, this group is still quite promising. Most of the members are fresh out of the grade school band and find the jump to reserve band quite a large one. Although this band did no marching, it practiced as diligently as the other bands in preparation for its programs. Along with the other bands, it played well in the February con- cert. Not all the benefits of practice will be fully realized until future years. Cadet Majorettes Gain Experience Ellen Kalb, Kathy Sabol, Jerrilyn Ferrell, Jane Hartman, Janice Harter. These five ambitious young virlers perform at the head of ie cadet band. The experience ained in these ranks will prepare :em for the varsity line-up.

In the background Richard Stuhrke watches in earnest as Dave Graham, the best broken-field runner at W.H.S. this year, endeavors to break away for a long gain. Dave had a fine season averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Early practice in August was retarded by h' weather, but by the first game the Grizzlies, bL around fourteen returning lettermen, were real for the test. ln their first outing the Grizzlies provi they were ready by treating W.H.S. rooters tol big upset victory over the Little Giants of Fremd Ross. ln the remainder of the season the conte were characterized by lopsided victories and nc row defeats. Three defeats in midseason spellf the difference in the standings. Impressive, ho' ever, are the facts that the games were lost by total of only T2 points and that Wadsworth in l over-all record outscored its opponents 238 94, more than enough to offset the defeats. Tl Grizzlies finished the season with a 6-3 record an were fourth in the Metropolitan League. Spurred by the co-captains, Dick Earley an Tom Kimmel, and the quarterbacking of Stewc Brock, the team's victories were won by wide md gins.

Part of a successful season depends on a team's ability to execute the same plays effectively. Touchdown, but whose? Beneath this pile of Spartan and Grizzly gridders somewhere is Stewart Brock, who has just scored a touch- down on a quarterback sneak at Springfield. Eyeing the situation without expression are Tom Kimmel and Frank Parks. These four Grizzlies--Dick Earley, tackle, Tom Kim- mel, backg Jerry Hovis, defensive linebacker, and Dave Graham, back-are truly proud of their gold footballs which they were awarded for landing berths on the All-Metro team. Players given honorable mention were Gary Christian, back, Mark Burkholder, end, and Larry Houston, guard. Capping off the evening and annual football banquet was the presentation of trophies to the co-captains. Both Dick and Tom are holding senior co-captain trophies. Tom also is gripping a trophy forthe most valuable player. To both must go com- pliments of excellent achievement. Four Grizzlies Land All-Metro Berths Our bread and butter man, Tom Kimmel, here is racing forward for one of his longer gains.

Future Gridders Gain Valuable Experience Like the varsity, Wadsworth's prospective teams started practice early in order to condition for their games. The iunior high and freshman games were just as important as the varsity games, since par- ticipation in these games helped the future Grizzlies gain valuable experience that later will be used in the actual varsity games. Learning the fundamentals it came to game time. ln addition, the players learned how a team effort operates and gained ex- perience in that way. As the season progressed, both the iunior high and freshmen gridders displayed a great deal of improvement in the various aspects of the game.

With Roger Porter playing under the rim, Grizzly fans can be assured of action from a spirited lad.

Reserve Quintet Reverses Record Exactly reversing last year's record, the Grizzly cubs piled up an impressive 13-5 record. After a little starting trouble, the quintet had at one time a nine-game winning streak, which was snapped in an overtime game with Rittman. Jim Wood led the team in total points with l85 and in most rebounds with l54. This year's team gave Coach Mast his best record since he came here three years ago. With a record that included only two losses in league play, this team hopes to retain next year the metro- politan league crown that the varsity took this year. Jack Elliott is hemmed in by two Coventry ht wood men as he fights for a rebound during closing minutes of play in the Cub-Comet clash.

The freshman team started the season with two vic- tories but seemed to lose the range in the remaining games. After the lsham game, the freshmen lost six straight before their next win. In this game against Portage, future cagers swished 47 points for their high- est game output, avenging a previous loss. The team acquired a 6-7 record. FRESHMAN SCORES Lyren lCoach1.

The team compiled a commendable l5-2 record, including 3 shutouts. Wadsworth did a fine iob in league play by winning all the games except the Coventry game, in which Bob Lyren was gunning for his fortieth consecutive victory. This league play off game secured second place in the Metro. re is a scene we think of as least typical of Bob Lyren. He is being put out at 3 ase. This year Bob fired seven of the team's fifteen victories, including a brilliant affair. Excellent pitching by our ace, Bob Lyren, Mike Hall, and Larry Houston, supported by a sound offense led by Brian Dye, contributed to a success- ful season as evidenced by Wadsworth's l2O runs against the opponents' 38.

Track Team Establishes Decathlon Event Following the principle of progress, the track team this year set new records and placed pre- vious ones in the past. Breaking four records after last year's team had broken six, the team accomp- lished a remarkable feat. The new marks were set by Bill Becker, running the high hurdles in l6.7 seconds, Charlie Leatherman, setting a new pace of 4 minutes 56 seconds for the mile run, Tom Kimmel, throwing the shot-put 45 feet l inch, and Dick Earley, breaking his own discus record twice during the course of the year, finally establishing a record of l3l feet llV2 inches. Bringing the season to a close, the team had a 5-6 record. High point of the season, however, was the running of the Decathlon for the first time at W.H.S. This event was open to W.H.S. trackmen only. Win- ner ot this event was Charles Ball, amassing a total of 690 points. Finishing behind Charles were Joe Kindling and Don Bishop with 655 and 570 points respectively. ll Q' 2 E is Q I t 1, 50 v . 1 .., What a run! exclaim the W.

The Golf And Tennis Teams Show Improvement With only two players of the first team returning, Coach Mcllvaine had some rebuilding to do this year. The coach had a tough court man in Merlyn Rock, who played first man in singles and who also played in doubles with Dennis West. Dick Ewing and Don Cunningham made up the second doubles team. The team had its best days against St. Vincent and Garfield with 4-l and 4-O scores and ended the season with a 2-5-l record. Tom Kahl, second singles man, and Dick Ewing should prove to be dependable court men next year. This year marked the second year that W.H.S. golfers matched their skill against other schools. After having a shaky beginning in '58, the '59 sea- son indicated what the team hopes will eventually turn out to be a winning season. ln spite of the fact that Mr. Schaffer lost 3 of last year's 4 first men, the club won 2 of its 7 matches. These were the first matches ever won by W.H.S. golf men. With continued improvement W.H.S. will have another fine sport added to its athletic department.

Initiates Cross-Country Team The little men you see pictured above with the big coach constitute a new addition to our athletic department. Cross-country, organized this year under the direction of Mr. Hershberger, is an up-and-coming sport at W.H.S. These boys work out after school and then on the day of o meet go for a nice long run about the countryside. This, the first season, proved to be rather rugged, but these pioneers have inaugurated a new activity, and we hope that it will become a big sport at W.H.S. Spirited Five Cheer Isham On This energetic quintet is the group responsible for keeping the morale of the Isham ath- letic teams high through their successive seasons.

Energy, Spirit, and Practice Energy can travel from one obiect to another, says Science. Any dubious person need only con- sider W.H.S.'s cheerleaders as excellent proof of this universal law. Their vivaciousness is truly catching during our pep rallies and games. It is largely because of our sprightly cheerleaders that our school spirit was so top-notch this year. Just cheering isn't the only way our cheerlead- ers transmit energy. Besides this, they make our school-spirit signs, plan skits for the pep rallies, and of course always practice, practice, practice. A cheerleader's iob is not an easy one!

To be eligible, the senior boy must have earned two letters, one a football letter. Then on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and team spirit, the football players vote for the senior best meeting these requirements. This choice is then approved by the principal, the coaches, and a News-Banner representa- tive. The trophy was first awarded in i955 to James Foreman and has been awarded every succeeding year. James Dennison, Bob Martin, and Joe Houston were the past three trophy holders. To these names was added last year the name of Richie Heath. Besides playing football, Richie participated in basketball and baseball. Richie played guard and was also elected co-captain of the football team. ln addition to being a fine athlete and meeting the aforementioned requirements, Richie was respected and well-liked by his classmates and his team mates. This made him the logical choice and worthy holder of the i959 trophy. 54 For senior Bob Lyren T960 marks the culmination a brilliant sports career at W.H.S. An outstanding play in both baseball and basketball, Bob is deserving special recognition. Beginning as a varsity pitcher whf iust a freshman, he could hardly be scored against, three years of competition losing only one game. Bob excellent record in his junior year included pitching a n hitter against Stow and a position on the all-metro tear This climaxed three years of good, hard-played baseba Looking at basketball, we see that here Bob was al: a great standout. Bob, 6'3 , has played three varsi years as a guard, allowing his versatility to be used best advantage. His talents include a set shot, dead iump shot, and the ability to drive and hook with eith hand. Bob's phenomenal achievement is attributed these versatile qualities. Being called on unexpectedly replace his injured brother Bill, Bob as a sophomore r sponded by leading the team in scoring, rebounding, ar giving assists. ln the next two years, Bob was the leadir district scoring ace and virtually rewrote the W.H.S. re ords both years. ln all three years Bob led the team points, rebounds, and assists. Records held by Bob ai points scored in one year, 454, total points scored, 120- and points scored in one game, 45 lMedinal. Bob place on the all-metro and all-district teams in both his iunii and senior years. Congratulations, Bob, for exception achievement. Z l Q 4.. . Q Q ,fy . ,gr 1 , 1412 :gg 5115: f so f O .

Located on the eastern edge of town, iust inside the city limits, the new institution consists of six buildings, each existing in a specific capacity.

But those melodious notes one hears issuing from the music room are not hastily practiced, but well rehearsed with a good deal of hard work put into every song. For there's always the concert -- a chance to dress up and, above all else, to show the public how well one can master the art of singing - the art of making an audience feel elated, gay, dashing, or perhaps even depressed, simply by proper inflection of the voice. lt's a wonderful feeling to be able to really know that a certain season is here- Girl's Glee can do this with their songs.

Hurry, or we'll miss the bus! is the exclama- tion of the students living in the country when they hear the beeping of the horn. Rain or sleet can't stop the wheels of education, nor can it stop the literal wheels of education--the school busses and the drivers. Every bus student values the responsi- bility and faithfulness shown by his bus driver. ROW 1: George Vallen, Leonard Sega, Elam Brubaker.

If Mr. Cramp needs a blackboard, more lighting is needed in the auditorium, the stodians are the fellows to see. From raking aves to fixing boilers, the custodians are an im- Jrtant part of W.H.S. life. Omnipresent in time trouble, the custodians mend broken window shes and sweep up broken milk bottles. Stu- :nts at W.H.S. certainly appreciate the efforts of e custodians in their difficult tasks of keeping the hool and grounds neat and clean. Clarence Vogus, Bill Kinnard, Seth Hater.

Roll The Presses l Inky clothes and dirty hands are everyday occupational hazards to the boys of the print shop. The boys aren't seen much by other students, since much of their day is spent in the confines of the printing department. The products of the boys' training, however, are appreciated by students who at- tend football games and class plays. ln May of l959, the local representative of the Ford Motor Company sponsored Wadsworth's ln- dustrial Arts Awards Program. Pictured here are some of the articles made in W.H.S. shops. Some of our students had proiects good enough to be sent to the national show at Dearborn, Michigan. Robert Gerstenschlager Print Shop Eleventh Grade Advisor Gladys Williams Librarian Tenth Grade Advisor Jane Hus Englisl F.T.A. Mr. Gerstenschlager shows proof that the printer' job of making books is essential. Although outward ly showing respect, Mrs. Williams knows her iob i important, since she distributes the books, and Mrs Huston, because she teaches usage of the book' However, they all agree that books are of gred Value at W.H.S. l lard Hunsberger Vorld History ,enth Grade Advisor Ruth Conkey Home Economics Twelfth Grade Advisor Herman Hershberger General Science Ninth Grade Advisor iMrs. Conkey is showing the Beau Brum- pls of W.H.S. what the really fashion- zle man wears nowadays.

A completely new teacher to W.H.S. this year was Mr. Connell, who came to us at mid-te-rm from Ohio State University. Returning to our faculty this year, Mr. Work came out of retirement to fill a gap in our teaching staff. Robert Connell O. J. Work English Math Journalism e ave tudents The students of W.H.S. are, perhaps, to us, the most important part of our school lite, for they are our friends, the people with whom we associate every day. Without students W.H.S. could not possibly exist, therefore, we are as important to the school as it is to us. Ot all our possessions, advantages, and opportunities, we are most proud ot the tact that we have Wadsworth High, and Wadsworth High has us. ' , Seventh Graders Are No Longer Strangers At Wadsworth High The big hurdle has been cleared. No longer are we strangers to this school. A year of experience has put us above sprinting from class to class, entering the right class at the wrong time, or getting lost in the halls. As we become accustomed to changing classes, facing six different teachers a day, and eating in thirty minutes, we forgot we had ever done things any differently. No longer are we looked down upon by five higher grades. We can hardly wait until next year, so that we can smile secretly at those strange creatures, seventh graders.

This year, for the first time, the students of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades of Isham Memorial Junior High School assume their rightful place in the W.H.S. Whisperer. Since the Isham seventh, eighth, and ninth graders contribute much to the community and in the future will contribute much to W.H.S. itself, the 1960 annual staff welcomes them to the annual. The recent consolidation of Wadsworth Township and City Schools has made them part of our iunior high. Students of Isham have two distinct advantages: Not only will they have two schools to look back upon, but also they are among the envied few who are forced to remain at home when snow makes the roads impassable for busses.

Plays An Important Role In Lives Of Freshmen A year of excitement, that's what it was. For the second time in the last few years we took a giant step and encountered many strange and wonderful things. We stood independent this year and showed that we have minds of our own. Our promising football team went, not by the name of Junior High nor Varsity, but by the name of Freshmen. For the first time we knew the satisfaction of attending classes which we had selected for ourselves. As we shared these happy experiences, we realized that W.H.S. is more than lust a building. Mary Dolph, Girl Representative, Jack Hoey, Secretary-Treasurer, Ann Abrams, - Vice-President, Bill Shirley, Boy Repre- sentative, Mr. Hershberger, Advisor, Tom Cranston, President. Having critically examined every aspect of these works of art, Bob Kilpatrick, Linda Given, and Bob Engler have reached their decision. Terrificl exclaim the boys. Who drew them? Don't you remember? smiles Linda. We did.

Classes became tougher and sports more exciting as we did our part to help bring honor and victory to W.H.S. lt has taken us thirty-six weeks of work and fun under the title of sophomores to bring us one notch closer to our goal. We realized that the time would soon come when we would be looking down instead of up, and set about making that time come as soon as possible.

A new era in our lives is beginning, and an old one ending. lt is hard to really tell iust exactly how we feel about the change in our lives. Graduation is the time that we have looked forward to almost from the time we began school, but as the time grew nearer and nearer, we found ourselves wishing that it wouldn't approach so quickly. We are sad to be leaving Wadsworth High School, but we are eagerly looking to the future, secure in the know- ledge that W.H.S. has prepared us well. We can only hope that W.H.S. will miss us as much as we will miss it, but we can be sure that We Have Spent some of the most wonderful years of our lives at Wadsworth High School.

The year is over, our task, the engenderment of the l96O Whisperer, is complete. We hope that you will enioy reading the annual as much as we have enjoyed creating it. Your appreciation of the yearbook is the goal towards which we have aimed, and that same appreciation is one of our largest rewards. Three members of the annual staff-Nancy Kramer, Lynne Wolf, and Barb Oseland-are engaged in several typical tasks of the staff. Mounting pictures, cleaning and readying them for shipping, and proofreading were only a few of the iobs con- fronting the staff each Wednesday night. 131 2 Activities .... Administration .
