King CLASS OF ’46 LEAVES GIFT Each year the graduating class leaves behind a remembrance, something beautiful or useful, appreciated by every department of the school. This year’s class has chosen a mimeograph to replace the warnout one, given by the Class of 1936. The new memeograph is an expensive one and much credit must be given to the business management of the Hi-Lites, of the Magazine Subscription Drive, and of the Class Play, as well as to the members of the senior class for their initiative and energy in raising money to pay for it. May those who use this machine be occasionally reminded of those who gave it. Senior Class of 1946 FRANK T. ARMBRUSTER -BETTY BAUER ROBERT M. BLAND' HARLEY R. CARTWRIGHT JR.

Brilliance is what really counts. And brilliance depends upon the quality of the diamond. There is a much greater difference in the quality of diamonds than is generally realized. That’s why we suggest that you drop in for a talk about diamonds before you step out to buy. There’s no obligation. Come in any time at your convenience.

Columbus Pike Chillicothe, Ohio PROPHECY “Would there be a chemistry test?” I wondered as I tried to concentrate on the book before me. But my eyes wandered to the window and rested fondly on the village of Waverly, peaceful and quiet, beneath a canopy of fleecy, white clouds. Then the possibility of a chemistry test broke into my thoughts and again my eyes went back to my chemistry book. But the thoughts of fleecy, white clouds remained in my mind and I felt my head nodding—nodding—nodding. Suddenly I found myself floating skyward to that fleecy white cloud without the aid of a chemistry book. And lo, and behold, I saw before me a large metropolitan city. Above this city in bright neon lights was the name, Waverly. As I approached the city, I was greeted by a fanfare of trumpets and the mayor who gave me the key to the city. As I accepted the key, I looked closely at the mayor and to my surprise I found it was none other than Orville Davis, one of my old schoolmates from W. H. S. As we walked down the broad avenue to the heart of the city, he told me I was to be a guest at the “Up-Snoot” hotel, run by Jane Durham, during my stay. As we neared the hotel an ambulance whizzed by with sirens screaming. On the side of the ambulance in bold letters was “Ccol—Die and Like-It Funeral Home.” We discovered that the victim was “Pete” Stulley. We knew that that old car would break down sooner or later. When we looked in on him later, we found it wasn’t so hal'd for him because he had a pretty nurse, Doris Denny, to hold his hand. We knew he was in safe hands because he was treated by the famous physician, Vincent Scott, who had earned the title, “Hack-Saw” Scott. On returning to the hotel I was welcomed by the hotel hostess, Mary Jo Martin. The bellhop, Dale Downing, carried my bags to my suite. I had no sooner entered than I heard the sweetest music this side of heaven. Being nosey as usual, I inquired as to where the music was coming from, and learned that a famous band was practicing in the apartment down the hall. Immediately upon hearing that it was Frank Armbruster’s “Dead Beats,” I strolled down to lend an ear. Just as I entered, the famous blues-singer, “Jo” Schwartz, began her song. She was aided by the “No-Tune” Trio, Mary Wittkugle, Betty Bauer and Blanche Rapp. Then I heard a trumpet that would make Harry James’ sound like sour music. The creator of this heaven-sent music was Stanley Hines. Returning to my apartment I found that the afternoon paper had arrived. Upon glancing through it I saw that Marguerite Logan had opened a new dress shop, bringing her models straight from Paris. On the society page there appeared a picture of Adeline Douglas’s new home at Lake White. She is using her newly acquired millions to see that a Republican president Is finally elected. I also notice that the editor of the “Whoop-and-Holler Press” was Willard Wilburn. I laid aside the newspaper as I heard the doorbell. When I opened the door I was surprised to see Jennie White, owner and operator of the “Get You Later Taxi Service. As we reminisced she told me about the new Mars-American Airlines started by Arnold Walker and Earl Strickland. Their largest transport is piloted by that handsome guy. Jack Scott. From what I hear, it is very pleasant to travel on this plane since the two cute stewardesses, Velma Deacon and Faye Jean Ma-hone, are there to make you comfortable. Jennie also told me that Bonnie Rhoads, an important F. H. A. instructor, had sent a display to the World’s Fair. A rival instructor is Mary Colburn, who is fast rising in the world of success. We decided to spend the rest of the afternoon shopping. At the best dress shop, exclusive gowns were being modeled by Louise Moore. We simply could not resist the temptation to buy. As we continued our trip down the street, we saw a sign reading, “The Bucy-Cartwright Garage.” Underneath was the motto, “If we can’t fix it, it can’t be fixed.” We now came to a movie where we saw billed, Norma J. Claytor and Bob Scott, in “Wolf Call.” It really is a howl. As a second attraction Bob Bland and Elsie Lightle were starred in their latest movie “Mercy! No!” We stopped at the Snip-Snap-and-Grab Restaurant owned and operated by Cora Cline and Margaret Looney. It was good to see them again. While at the restaurant we saw Jean Pyle and her husband celebrating their anniversary. After an afternoon delightfully spent seeing my old classmates we decided to go high-hat and go to see the opera, “Carmen,” with Mary Jo Jones in the leading role. It was beautifully done but as Mary Jo hit a high note I heard a ringing which sounded very familiar. Then it grew louder, and I aroused myself to the realization I was still in the study hall, the period was over, and my chemistry still not done. NORMA WEBER.

Miss Vallery TEAM WORK Team work is essential for all great and important undertakings. After Pearl Harbor the people of the United States forgot their personal and private ambitions and united in the purpose of defeating a common enemy. The result was the greatest output of mass production the world has ever seen. The enemy has been defeated on the battle-field. Will the same spirit of unity and team work win the peace? Only time and the prayers and determination of a united people can tell. Team work is not only a necessary part of a nation at war but it is also the foundation stone of every activity from childhood play to adult success. In school life it is the person who can cooperate who achieves the maximum success. Every activity demands unity above everything. The boy who is unwilling to forget himself in the interest of the team should not attempt to participate in athletics. A boy who really has the interest of his team and his school at heart will never indulge or participate in anything detrimental to the best interests of the team. This is the greatest lesson one can learn in school. It is the lesson that will insure success in life. This idea has been ably expressed by Edgar A. Guest, when he said: They may sound your praise and call you great, They may single you out for fame, But you must work with your running mate Or you’ll never win the game. For never the work of life is done By the man with a selfish dream, For the battle is lost or the battle is won By the spirit of the team. NOTE OF THANKS I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to my fellow staff members of the Waverly Hi-Lites for their great help and hearty cooperation. I wish to thank Miss Vallery and all others who in any way gave their time and talents to make our paper a successful contribution to our school activities. THE EDITOR.

D. Wagner, Prop. 75 East Second Street Phone 25-476 Chillicothe, Ohio G-O-S-S-I-P The love light is still burning for Florence Moore and Frank Armbruster. Vera Rowe is still that way about Coit Stulley. Who has Clara Schwartz been out with every night for the last few weeks? Could someone help Margaret Looney make up her mind? Bonnie Rhoads really rates, just look at her third finger—left hand. We wonder who has the lead in Francis Ezell’s heart,. or.. Shorty? - Ther£ iVnp one to,compare with Alberta Brown, says Aimtrld'Walfer.' It seems that Mary Jo Martin has forsaken all for Emmitt Cutlip. Bob Scott has an awful time with his girl friends or maybe he can’t make up his mind. Who is the boy we see Dorothy Lobdill with all the time? Could it be Gerald McNeil? Alex Lazarr is the only thing Norma Jean Clay-tor can think about. There is nothing like being a man-hater says Mary Jo Jones. We snoopers can’t find out who Norma Jean Scott’s secret love is. Could it be Bob Bland? Just look up the hall and you will see Earl Strickland talking to Lenora Ford. The light in Norma Weber’s life is Zinc Hughes. Willard Wilburn can’t make up his mind. The draw i« between Doris Bennv and Gladys Newsome. “She’s small but mighty” and she gets around with the boys. Who is she? None other than Faye Jean Mahone. Jack Scott must be a woman hater, or at least we can’t get any dope on him. It seems that Harley Cartwright has forsaken all others for his one and only Evelyn Kuhn. Why is Mary E. Wittkugle so blue these days? THE REASON: Harold Chandler has returned to camp. You should see Cora Cline and Stanley Hines in registration. Quite a sight. Betty Bauer is still carrying the torch for Bert Cutler. Will someone please help Elsie Lightle make up her mind? Margene and Glenn are still on the beam, we hope. Dale Downing and Jane Durham are the “Romeo and Juliet” of Waverly High School. Who is Blanche Rapp’s latest? We wish we knew. Corda Crabtree and Hobbie Helman are going together now. What is this we hear about Freddie Haubeil and Barbara Dennewitz. Garry Stabler is still the Romeo of the seventh and eighth grades. Harvey Whaley and Juanita Hughes have been seen at the show quite often lately. Why does Dicky Martin go to Jasper so much any more? C.ould it be because of Witty Vulga-more. Bobby Lee Ezell thinks Morgie Shrader is about it. There is quite a romance on the school bus between Hazel Bland and Walter Long. What is this we hear about Marjorie Hatfield and Bud Downing. Barbara Cox is very happy since Beecher Butler is home. Have you seen Rose Mary Claytor and Dale Floyd roaming the halls together? Who is this Beaver lad Martha Ferguson is so interested in? We wonder. Is it true that Fritzie Miller is still carrying the torch for Bill Bryant? Flash! Why does Mary Rapp enjoy going down at noon? Could it be because she sees James Fairchild. Have you seen those dreamy eyes of Betty Castles when she passes Eddy Smith in the hall? We hear it won’t be long before Judy Jones will be wearing a ring on her left hand.

THE ALUMNI Classes 1943 through 1946 will be honored in the appropriate setting of the newly remodeled Lake White Club when the Alumni Banquet is held May 17. Inasmuch as there has been no Alumni Banquet for four years, due to the war, this year’s banquet promises to be one of the most colorful social events in the history of school activities. The officers, Madison I. Irwin, president, Madalyn B. Hollberg, secretary, and Richard M. Miller, treasurer, urge all Waverly High School graduates to attend the banquet and become an active member of this association composed entirely of you, the WHS graduate. Much credit is given to Miss Margaret Buell who as secretary kept the organization alive during the war years. Each year she enrolled the graduating class and collected nominal fees. Now at her retirement the Alumni is able to carry on its regular activities. Appreciation The Senior Class with heartfelt appreciation wishes to thank their patrons for their continued support througout the year.
