These inevitable changes have become increasingly noticeable each day. In the 1963 WHISPERER, We of the annual staff have tried to capture our students-studying side by side, sharing the efforts which have made a success of our school's activities, and comprehending the importance of enthusiasm, effort, and perseverance. It is here that we have tried to show them as they have realized the importance of more people, more environment- EXPANSION. t 4 mall' 120' ' I ,LQ M., ,, IW W V Zs'7?iEiigf,,,',jjig,' ' A ,in Qin.. if ' ' r,ses .l ,M r - M ,.,. , Us i . ,M f f -V..-fsivtifqzsfrf-3 -, -, 'fl 1 k 55lt7 WWf:i 'NU 5' ,, Zl5?5 f5Pfl?Qf9V,fsif: i Q, V5 W '7lit'f?'AsliztiS', .C i' , i fflgffllfi-islfm' i ' .V ,.., , . l -H ' ,Mi new W Mnmmqwm V 9 'mM-1.-Q K m 'Qf1-vm.-,,,,, h T DCIIUUL 1.4116 .............

Strong school spirit can turn a mediocre team into a good one. Without spirit, a team is nothing. Members of our pep club, with their energy and exuberance at the games, gave our team that necessary will to win. ...Q Homecoming is not all glarnorg it involves much hard work. Lucy Miller was one of the many seniors who spent hours stuff- ing the queenis float with napkins. !!!!!!!!!!!!l!!l!!!!!!!!!!:'nQ!llall::a:eF Many Facets Of School Cars are the main mode of trans- portation for W.H.S. students. During the day the parking lot is jammed. At 3:45, however, there is a mass exodus toward Broad Street and home. life Form Personalities London Bridge is falling down. Tumbling and gymnastics are usually a source of hilarity and enthusiasm for all girls' gym classes. Stacks of books accompany Sandy Perkins wherever she goes. Even though this petite senior enjoys various activities, she realizes the importance of 'diligent study Yellow school buses are always a familiar and welcome sight to sophomores Sherry Gish, Kay Lorton, and Dalene Ringler after a hard day at school. Student It seems as if one never possesses enough knowledge while taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Lynn Tonsing tries to remedy the situation with extra study. What's the English test like, any- way? asks Pete Allen of his cafeteria colleague, Dennis Sega. Short lunch periods tend to limit the amount of conversation for most people, but not for these boys. Companionship Enriches Daily Life Of A11 On Campus 'tThis earthworm is difficult to draw, complains Sigrid Thorsten to Patti Wolf. Nevertheless, observation is part of all science classes at W.H.S. Rick Ford, Mary Boland, Russ Brock, and Marcia Looney, who are members of the debate team, have spent many hours reviewing arguments. Lighting plays an important role in many of the assemblies during the year. Denny Christian has had plenty of practice and has helped to make many assemblies run smoothly. Part of the job of efficient candy stripers is to bring cheer to the patients. Mary Dolph and Phyllis Gould found time to chat with Mike McMennamin, who was recovering from a broken leg. Studies, Sports. 10 'tGee, this plant is really grow- ing! exclaims Tom Poder to Lar- ry Geig. Mr. Stoltzfus can grow just about anything in his green- house. Typing can be frustrating, thinks Bob Hanzie as he throws another paper into the wastebas- ket. Bob finds that it is hard to get a perfect copy. l l Snowshoes were called for but not seen as glaciers of snow cov- ered the school walks. Ice made walking between classes a bit hazardous. Societies Produce Weil-Rounded Individuals At times even the halls of W.H.S. can be de- serted, and now only Roger Albrecht and Beverly Huffman linger. Uniforms on the lockers, however, tell us that other students and activities are not gone for long. WH S Students Strive For Recognition Doing the split on a flat surface is hard enough, but Charlene Vorce shows that she is capable of performing splits on the bal- ance beam. Balloons helped to complete the decorations for the sweetheart dance. Blowing them up proved to be the only difficult task, as Rhonda Parrish will readily agree. Just a little too much pres- sure, and bang! In The Classroom, On The Playing F ield Dick Parish, Dave Warner, Brian Belt, and Don Kronenberger ranked second, Eifth, sixth, and seventh respectively on the Ohio General Scholarship Test in Me- gina County.

The proud couple was crowned by Jan Trent and Rick Bruce, and George Ann was presented with a bouquet of red roses by Kelly O'Neil. Safe! is the cry that Rick Bruce hopes to hear as he slides into home plate during the '62 Elyria baseball game. Rick, Grizzly catcher and star slugger, is seen in familiar territory. Royalty Honored By W.H.S. Radiant smiles never disappeared from the faces of our charming 1962 Homecoming royalty. The festive bonfire where the queen and her court were presented to the student body, the game which was so gallantly won by our Grizzlies, and the memorable dance--all were included in the pleasures of Junior Attendant Dawn Bird, Senior Attendant George Ann Jones, Queen Susan Meager, Senior Attendant Jan Trent, and Soph- omore Attendant Donna Culler. 'I4 W.H.S. cindermen selected Bonnie Jones, a deserving senior, to reign as their '62 track queen at the Woos- ter Night Relays. At the time this picture was taken, Bonnie had become a bridesmaid and the sister-in-law of last year's track queen, Karen Fye. Exotica, the 1962 Senior Prom at Chippewa, was reigned over by Queen Carol Oran and King Pete Raynor. Following the festivities at Chippewa Lake was the Adventura In Roma at Montrose where movies, miniature golf, food, and a swim- ming pool added to a memorable celebration, The breakfast at the Masonic Temple completed the glorious holiday which had started there early the previous evening with a coketail party. ,, u :ff .f ' 5313, ' 'YQQJU' -, f hx gi 1 ' .

For an entire school year the staff labored to create a book that was justly representative of the school and interesting to its students. Many problems confronted the staff, and they occasionally spent most of the meeting trying to arrive at a single solution. All judgments had to meet with the approval of Mr. Cooper, the staff ad- visor, and Tim Bauer, the editor. i 5 X K Money from heaven? Not quite! Dick Parish, business manager of the 1963 annual staff, is simply exalted over the deluge of orders pouring in for the annual. wal Student Council Discharges Duties F aithtuiiy Each September all home- rooms elect dependable stu- dents to represent them in student council. To this or- ganization come scores of pet grievances for which solutions must be found. Every mem- ber is responsible for report- ing accurately the activities of the council to his homeroom and for returning the com- plaints of his constituents. In addition to performing these duties, this year's coun- cil sponsored various projects and activities, including the traditional food and toy drive, and the annual homecoming festivities. This year's stu- dent council proved to be a hard-working, dedicated group of individuals. Pondering the choice of furniture for the student lounge were Lynn Doyle, Janine Larson, Debbie Johnson, and Hillary Perdue. ROW 1: Teri Bailey, Charlene Vorce.

Members Learn The Rewards Of Teaching Future Teachers of America gives the students a chance to try their hand at teaching. Choice of grade level is decided by the students themselves. The members gain experience by actually teaching a class, and they gain valuable information through the various guest speakers. This year the Future Teachers of Amer- ica sponsored dances after the basketball games and undertook a Christmas service project to help needy families.

Their year-round service provides valuable ex- perience for these future nur- ses and gives them a taste of what their job will be like. Doctors, nurses, and other qualified speakers visit Nurse- Teen meetings and talk on the various medical fields and their opportunities. Excur- sions to hospitals and clinics in the area also are included in the girls' activities. Duties of the girls are not always pleasant, and the sacri- fice of hours is sometimes wearisome. However, the fun of helping others and the knowledge of nursing are worthwhile gifts for develop- ing well-qualified future nurses. l HN l -:X New Clubs Build School Spirit, World Interest New at Wadsworth High School this year, the Pep Club is a popular and needed addition. The football season would not have been nearly so successful if it had not been for the school spirit generated by the club's enthusiastic members. Selling pins and shakers helped the members not only to earn money, but also to show their interest in the growing club. Crowded buses head- ing for out-of-town football games and red and white shakers waving in the air remind us of the presence of our recently-formed club. French club provided a great deal of entertainment as well as good ed- ucation outside of class. Now in its second year, the club has become a success among nearly all second year French students. During the Christ- mas holidays the club went caroling, and in spring, visited a Cleveland museum. A cafe sprouted up on the school court when first year students treat- ed the club members to French delicacies. The club will be theirs next year, and with it will go the rich experience of appreciating the country of France. l 22 Susan Meager, Jan Trent, Mr. Shields CAdvisorD, Mr. Irish CAdvisorD, Judy Wilder CPresidentD.

IETS Unravel Mysteries Of Science Every Saturday morning until the first science fair in March, the members of JETS Club can be found diligently Working in the chemistry laboratory. The asphyxiating of fish to test the effectiveness of filter cigarettes, the radiating of chick embryos to test radia- tion, and the building of elec- tronic computers are all a part of the work of a busy morning. 4'All Work and no play is by no means the motto of the JETS Club. Guest speakers are invited to talk to the club on future occupations in the science fields: field trips are planned to nearby industries, and to end the year, a spring banquet is held. The JETS Club, originally an engineering organization, has now branched out to in- clude all fields of science and gives students the opportun- ity to explore into the un- known, A - 1 1 ROW 1: Burchett.

Much of the female population at Wadsworth Senior High be- longs to the well-known Y-Teen group. The club, consisting of sophomore, junior, and senior girls, strives to en-courage and help these teens to develop into fine young women. Activities that were scheduled and enjoyed during the year in- cluded a card party, a swimming party at the Y in Akron, and a hospital project. One Monday-night meeting was highlighted by a series of color- slides shown by Miss Edgar, the director of the Medina County YWCA. The slides were taken while she was on a trip through the Middle East, learning about the work of the YWCA in that area.

For a month two different boys attend the weekly meetings of Wadsl worth's Rotary Club. These boys meet many of this city's outstanding bus- inessmen, enjoy a delicious meal, and also have the oppor- tunity to hear distinguished guest speakers.

Buckeye Staters Learn Through Participation Buckeye Boys' and Girls' States are spon- sored by the American Legion and the Legion Auxiliary to acquaint students with govern- mental functions and to stimulate interest in our own government. The Lions Club and Ro- tary financed the trips of two of the boys.

Although there were many inexperi- enced first-year members, there were also seasoned vet- erans to help them along. Preparing for speech tour- naments involves many tasks for N.F.L. members. Endless hours of research and memor- ization are part of the prep- aration for the Saturday tour- naments. Last summer two members of the debate team spent two weeks at a work- shop at Ohio University. Participating in speech con- tests was not the only activity of the members of N.F.L. Sev- eral dances were sponsored by this club, and social activi- ties were planned for mem- bers. Welcoming speech students from all over north-l eastern Ohio, Jim Bruce, president of N.F.L., con- ducts the opening ceremonies prior to a speech, contest held here at Wadsworth. N.F.L.

During each period one of these efficient girls may be found diligently at Work in the office. In conjunction with the office secre- taries, the athletic department also has its own secretaries. Mr. Lyren's busy days are made less trying through the assistance of these girls. In addition to the other duties per- formed by the secretaries, the girls may be found taking messages and selling pre-sale tickets for all the football and basketball games. Not only do the sec- retaries gain experience for themselves in the future, but their Work is greatly appreciated by Mrs. Heyl, Mrs. Lind, and Mr. Lyren.

It is their job to get as many pictures sold as possible and to balance their books before turning the money in to Mr. Cooper at the end of their homeroom periods. Not only is this service a help to the faculty, but it saves the an- nual staff many hours of bookkeeping. 3 Wadsworth Theatergoers Treated To Smash Hit Makeup, scenery, and costumes ere only a few elements of the sen- or class play, Grandma's Best Years.

The group also played a prominent part in the welcoming of the Mexican exchange students. Taxco, the silver center of Mexico, is the home of the ten se'n'oritas who spent the winter holiday weeks. in Wadsworth. For the first time, this year's exchange program was spon- sored through collaboration between the Wadsworth and Taxco Rotary Clubs.

Months of hard work, includJ ing summer sessions and eve- ning practices, were needed to perfect the band's ten min- ute show. The eventful day, Septem- ber 29, soon arrived, bringing with it rainstorms, which1 forced the contest to be post poned for a week. At last the band departed for Saegertownl on buses loaded with instru ments, uniforms, pillows, blankets, and food. Months of practice proved to be worthwhile when Mr. Baldwin announced that the routine had been done Mper- fectlyf, All expenses for trav- eling and meals were paid, and the band received a tro- phy. As in past years, the band's schedule was filled with many other events, including two ice cream socials sponsored by the Band Parents, the Bar- berton Labor Day parade, a concert at the Medina County Fair, the Akron All-American Soap Box Derby, and all Grizzly football games. 4 ,K , ian w in P: 1 W1 - -'. - ., 4- -if fe af. - r .- m. ar N arm.

This transformation includes not only a change in the style of the music, but for some, a change in instrument. After much practice and prep- aration, the new band was able to give three concerts dur- ing the season. Their music ranged from show tunes and swing to overtures and opera. The '63 concert band's perform- ances brought much satisfaction both to the band and to its au- diences. Who needs the music? asks Frank Boone as he demonstrates his ability to ad-lib. .

Harmonious melodies radiated from the music building fourth and fifth pe- riods every day. Singing solos and quartets was dreaded by all. Yet, no one was afraid to sing out during the three concerts pre- sented by the choir this year. Thanksgiving vacation wouldn't have been complete without the contributions of the choir to the annual assembly. Who could forget the silence that fell upon the student body at the Christmas assembly as Gary Tay- lor sang The Christmas Song ? The choir added to the success of this assembly by sing- ing Silver Bells and a take-off on an old favorite, Jingle Bell Travelogue. Choir members gained confidence and poise as they performed for the Lions Club. They also benefited from the program they gave for the youngsters at Isham. New choir robes, new faces and new music-all these things added up to make choir a pleasing and profitable experience for all who partici- pated.

This a tappella group Was the source mf entertainment for various :lubs and organizations. Duo- ,one members looked forward .o these events as Well as to :inging at school concerts and xssemblies. The many hours of learning nusic paid in good benefits of Jarties and dinners. Among .hese were the Spanish party sponsored by the Rotary Club, he city employees' dinner at Brookside Country Club, and ,he Teachers' Credit Union iinner at lsham School. Outfits for the group were nought with the help of the Qotary Club. The girls were xrrayed in mint green satin orocade dresses and silver shoes, Black blazers and grey slacks polished the appear- Ences of the boys to give the uotones that outstanding ook.

Relying on alstrong running backfield and a stingy defensive unit, Wadsworth closed out the year with the excellent record of six wins, three losses, and one tie. The narrow defeats which gave last year's team an apparently poor record were converted to thrilling victories by the high-spirited grid- ders. The stout Grizzly defense was frequently called upon to preserve slim leads for long periods, creating a great deal of anxiety among the fans but rewarding them with wins. Clad in striking red uniforms, the Grizzlies opened the season before a huge crowd at their new expanded stadium. A shrewd combination of running and passing dazzled North Royalton and yielded a 42-0 victory. An even larger audience saw Wadsworth roll over Cloverleaf by a convincing 24-6 margin. Two late Wads- worth drives were stopped by a larger Ellet team when the Grizzlies tasted their first defeat of the season, 12-6. Excellent defense was the determining factor in two shutout victories over Orrville and Coventry, both played in mud and rain. To add to the high spirits of the homecoming celebration, Wadsworth administered a 34-12 thrashing to a fleet Springfield team. In the annual Victory Bell game Norton retained the tro- phy, squeezing through with an 8-8 tie. Tallmadge was defeated in bitter cold. Kent Roosevelt pulled a pass for two extra points and a Wadsiworth defeat. The season finale against Stow was played in miserable rain and muck, which bogged down the Wadsworth running attack. Few remained to see the final mo- ments of the season as the Bears dropped a 24-6 decision to the Bulldogs. It was also the last metro league game for Wadsworth, as the Grizzlies will play next year in the new Chippewa Con- ference. 40 E., ,f,,,,,,1 ,G ,an OlConnor, Malaney.

Jim Honeycutt's speed and power helped to decide several games in favor of the Grizzlies.

Led by a pitchingf staff that chalked up eight shutouts, includ- ing an eighteen-strike out, no-hit effort by Dick Dudas, the Grizzlies roared to an out- standing record of fifteen wins and five losses. Wadsworth copped the pennant in the metro league by winning seven of their eight contests. In addition to the excellent pitching, Wads- worth hitters generally managed to put enough runs across the plate to dissipate the hopes of their opponents. Those with the hottest bats included Rick Bruce, Jeff More- head, and Bob Thomas. On three occasions during the season scoring reached double figures. Although the Grizzlies outscored most of their opponents, two particularly desirable victories eluded the diamondrnen. One was- in the regional tournament against Akrogl Central, one of the top teams in Ohio. Th other was a one-run decision with Elyria coached by Jim Dennison, the 1961 baseballl mentor. Excellent pitching was a big reason for the Grizzlies' success in 1962. Jim Simp- son has just released a big curve to tant- alize this Medina batter. Gene Sayre, Bob Thomas, Jim Simpson, and Jon Larson protect the large south windows of the academic building in a demon- stration of their fielding prowess.

Ak- ron Central Was another victim of the Grizzly netmen. Top men on the tennis team were Clarey Zingler and Larry Hummel. They played the best players of the other teams and came through with points consistently. Although the exact scores were unavail- able, Wadsworth had a respectable record of four wins and six losses, beating Bar- berton and Medina in addition to Massillon and Central.

Composed entirely of sophomores and juniors, Coach Schaffer's squad im- proved as the season pro- gressed and swept its last four contests. Brightest of these wins was the 9-0 sweep over Brunswick near the close of the season. Eric Thom, Mike McMennamin, and Rich Rus- kan led the club in match points scored.

As another year at W.H.S. passes on, the well- qualified group of men on the board of educa- tion continue to work diligently for the schools. All having major interests in the schools, these men are willing to devote much time to the problems of school levies, complaints from par- ents and the student body, and the addition of new teachers. Their job is not easy, and their material gains are small. Their only reward, and the one which they are contented with, is having a well- organized school and a satisfied public. Otticiais Devoted To Maintaining High School Standards Directing the operation of the seven Wadsworth schools would be a chal- lenging job for anyone. However, for a man with the capabilities of Mr. Burkholder, such a job can be han- dled without difficulty. His workday is a long one, and his problems are unending. His efforts in managing the senior high have contributed greatly in keeping the school in a well-run con- dition, Scanning data on various educational re- ports keeps Mr. Burkholder prepared to meet the problems of the school system. Day-To-Day Routine Directed By Principals Principal Regulating all attendance, giving guidance, directing disciplinary ac- tion-all these jobs and many more are conducted behind the office door of Mr. Douglas Hudson. As vice-prin- cipal at Wadsworth Senior High, Mr. Hudson has become Well known and respected by all who Work with and around him. Some people think of Mr. Hudson in none other than the administrative role in which he is seen each day. But our versatile vice-principal also enjoys outside activities such as bas- ketball and golf.

Craft projects dominated the major part of this year's work. Wood blocks, tile blocks, and mosaics provided different me- diums with which to work. Art is not always limited to art room work. Our school was decorated at Christmas time by the wreaths which were made by all the art classes. Many of the students made posters for the Homecoming Dance, while others worked on projects for the Duotones, Mr. Wright, and other faculty members. Many of the draw- ings in the school paper were drawn by mem- bers of the art class. Art taught in high school trains the stu- dents for future careers in the many fields of art. W.H.S. Prepares Students For The Business World Business classes at W.H.S. play an important part in preparing many students for the active business world. With the increased competi- tion, students must aim for a higher degree of perfection. There were many contests held this year to show the skills of many of the business students. The National Of- fice Management Association pro- vided the students with a chance to win awards in math and spelling tests. 68 A INNINELAEE pjt nzmnv 5 DE Art classes are not all drawing as Nancy Cupp knows. Carvin wood is just one of the extr projects assigned to illustrat imagination and creativity. It may sound like the clattering of horses' hoofs, but in reality it is the sound of the typewriters as a class of first-year typing stu- dents work to improve their speed. Sheila Smith and Dawn Bird ar taking full advantage of the dis play space as they put the fin ishing touches on the shorthan bulletin board. N EVEFIY HER Q? 1 Q lr 55 a it Literature, grammar, oral communication, spelling-the English department finds itself involved with varied fields of study. In both the written word and in the Spoken word, a knowledge of the English language and its history is indeed helpful. Wadsworth High School is especially privileged this year to have gained two new teachers in the English system. They and their fellow department workers have maintained traditionally high standards for their students. Spanish seem rather All Discover English Essential During the study of Shakespeare, Mel Chipps, Phil Stonebrook, and Tom Selby take time to view models of the world-renowned Globe Theater.

Presence of the ten Mexican 'senoritas enlivened the holi- days of Spanish students and their families. 69 Labs Discipline Minds Worm dissection can be fun as well as challenging. Biology students Ted Madi- gan and Tom Fenton found that this project entailed precise operation and plenty of teamwork. Later they advanced to frogs and clams. Looking at this JETS display from all sides were John Sample and two engross- ed spectators. The projects for the science fair were justly admired, for much time and effort were spent on them by students throughout the year. Young Euciids Discover New Math Fields Revisions in the mathematics de- partment were the rule this year, not the exception. The math classes were moved to the new academic building, and new desks on which are printed trigonometric tables were bought. For the first time TEMAC books- programmed material-were used in algebra I, II, and III, plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. Math students discover that their classes can be intriguing, challenging, and sometimes confusing. These math courses are designed to give ex- perience and training to those taking business math courses and to prepare other students for college. 70 PH Peering at the insides of frogs, choking on smoke from burning sulfur, and measuring the lengths of sound waves emitted from vibrating tuning forks were some of the ac- tivities of the science classes. Textbook the- ories are better understood by students with the aid of these practical applications. To meet the needs of the expanding science classes., a new teacher was hired and a new club formed. The Biology Club, during its first year, worked with the JETS Club in providing interested students with a place to work on outside projects. ASS' mi Solid geometry is not all paper work Doug Kulow, Craig Miller, and Bob Kil patrick find they can grasp the under standing of their problems with the us of cones, pyramids, and cubes. Practical Skill Gained In Shop Skill and precision in the Eactory as well as in the office are essentials for success in lndustry today. To meet this need, the industrial arts de- partment at Wadsworth High School is continually adding iew machinery and equip- nent to its up-to-date ma- :hine shop and wood shop. Graphic arts, mechanical irawing, electricity, and vo- :ational printing courses also orovide interested students fvith a chance to develop their skills and increase their qnowledge in these particular fields.

Students at Wadsworth Senior High School are given the oppor- tunity to learn about World history, American history, and American government. Tape recordings, films, maps, and charts combine to make history classes at W.H.S. interesting and informative. Seniors lay a foundation for the future by listening to lec- tures concerning social secur- ity. These talks make them cognizant of the responsibili- ties they Will have in later life. Mr. Becker helps his students gain an understanding of current international affairs. Someday these students will be faced with problems similar to the ones they study. ' , ,k., ,,,k , , .

Donna Keefer made the pint-size dress from the scraps left over from the one she had made for herself.

Flower ............. Red Rose Colors ........ Red and White Motto . . . Scientia sol mentis- Knowledge, the sun of the mind. For seniors at W.H.S., this year of 1963 symbolizes the end of the beginning. It is the end of twelve interesting and eventful years of school. It is the end of childhood and its fanciful dreams. The year 1963, however, is also the beginning of a new position in life. It is the awakening of reality, an acceptance of responsibility. Most important, it is a step forward into the future, a step which can never be taken back. ,me-N . it es , , Senior Class Cabinet ROW 1: Hillary Perdue, President, Eric Thom, Boy Representative.
