Tender, fair, and true; Crateful sons, with love unfailing. All their vows renew. 5 DEDICATION We wish to dedicate the second edition of HiLites to Mr. Earl Nitchke, friend, teacher and adviser. He has generously assisted and wisely instructed us in all of our class activities. The entire student body admires and respects his erudition, kindliness, school interest, sense of humor and sportsmanship. We want to express our sincere appreciation for the endless hours and effort he has devoted to the class of '45. 6 ADIINISTkAT OK BOARO or EDUCATION Guy B. Bennett President The Senior Class of 19 5 wishes to express its sincere appreciation and gratitude to the Board of Education for making our school life pleasant and worthwhile. 8 Leroy J. Tenbrook Charles H. Capron PRINCIPAL Ur. C. LeRoy Hurlbut Going to school in peace times is, for the average student, a well balanced program of concen- trated study and social activities. There is little stress or strain in the school years, and school days are enjoyable ones. War times produce new problems for boys and girls. The operation of the Selective Service presents a real problem for the older boys. The lure of high pay in war plants, the demands for help on the farm, the emotional strain created by brothers, sisters and fathers in the armed service, the interrupted family life due to work in facto- ries at different hours—all tend to make going to school very difficult. In spite of these diffi- culties, many boys and girls in our school have elected to remain at their Job of going to school. They are to be congratulated upon this decision and commended for the fine way that they have met the emotional strain of war times. 9 FACULTY Seated: Mrs. McLaughlin, Mrs. Roland, Miss Zimmerman, Mrs. Hurlbut, Miss Sliker, Miss Spencer, Miss Donovan. Second row: Mr. Henrekson, Mrs. Rausch, Miss Totten, Mr. Hurlbut, Miss Killigrew, Mrs. Hernmer, Mrs. Loveland, Mr. Nitchke. Third row : Miss Driscoll, Mrs. Richards, Miss Yohon, Miss Snel3, Mrs. Karst. Sometimes, throughout our high school days, you, no doubt, have become discouraged with us as a class. However, we have finally conquered many of our failings, and we are very thankful to you, our faculty. You are responsible for whatever success we have attained. Hil desperandum has been your motto; may it also become ours as we go cut into life. Mrs. Emma Avery Casper Fleishman Homer Shafer SECRETARY CUSTODIANS 10 INSPIRATION IHAIR0LD) KEITH SHARP BATES The memory of these boys serve as an inspira- tion to the class of 194-5. We remember the sterling quality of their characters. To us they were the typical American youth—popular with their class- mates, possessing a keen sense of humor, snd all around good sports. Because their lives were lost in their prime, it is up to us, their classmates, to do something worth-while to make up for the loss which their untimely deaths have caused. 11 N MEMORIAM John Wolfanger Crossing the Bar Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me. And may there be no moaning at the bar When I put out to sea. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. Alfred Tennyson We of the class of 19 deeply regret the los - of one of our classmates. Jack made the supreme sacrifice that we might again enjoy peace. The memory of him will live long in the minds of his many friends he made  t Wayland High. IP SERVICE Many of our former classmates are now In the service of our country. We dedicate this page to those who are making the supreme sacrifice that we might live In peace.

Jim White played a good brand of ball but was with us for only the early part of the season. The season record of seven wins and nine defeats does not tell the whole story. Some of the games were lost by Just a few points and every game was hard fought, and spirited. The J.V. team nleyed well and includes some promising players that should do well next year. Regardless of the final score, the Wayland teams this year displayed a fine snirit of snortsmanshir that was a credit to the school and Coach Henrekson. JUNIOR VARSITY Back row - P. Newton, G.

BOWLING The Wayland High School Bowling League underwent a successful first season. The league consisted of four teams under the supervision of Mr. Henrekson. Con- trol of first piece was enjoyed by every team, but the Seagram s clinched it, in hard played games. Perhaps this is Just the beginning of a larger league. The members of the league are very grateful to Mr. Henrekson for making this league possible. Baseball season at the publication date of this annual has not begun. A fairly successful season was completed last year and with the return of many veterans and the rapid advancement of other material, great hopes are held for this year's team. Junior Schubmehl, Donald Pebbles, Norman Pfeiffer, Richard Lander, Francis Lorenzo and Robert Hurlbut, members of last year will form the nucleus for the 194-5 nine. League games with Geneseo, Mt. Morris and Dansville are played as well as other non-league games. BASEBALL Left to right - J. Schubmehl, F. Lorenzo, B. Pragel, D. Pebbles, R. Lander, N. Pfeiffer, R. Kuhn, R. Hurlbut. 35 A. Way, F.

With them we have taker our defeats as we should and our victories with smiling faces. Our cheers this season were led by Frannie Bonadonna, Ardis Way, veterans of last year, and Elinor Rosebrugh, Beatrice Eschbach, Elizabeth Stevens and Louise Last. The last four were new this season. The highlight of the cheers were the cartwheels expertly done by Frannie and Ardis. All the girls did a grand Job and deserve a cheer from us. The Library Club meets on Wednesday during the activity period. Because of its size it has been divided into two classes: the Sophomore Class and the Junior Class. It was formed to acquaint the nupils with the proper care of books, the correct uses of the library and the care of the library. Assignments are given each week to the pupils for the various tasks such as checking out books, reading shelves, checking overdue books, arranging books and clipping articles.

Rosebrugh CHOiK The choir has had a very profitable year under the leadership of Mrs. McLaughlin. They had the privilege of performing at the senior play for their first public appearance. At Christmas time they sang in the play, Why the Chimes Rang, at Springwater and in assembly. Most of these songs were Christmas carols. Among the spring activities were a trip to Bath to the soldiers home and a Sunday afternoon musical at which Bob Glover, Nancy Allen, Dorthea Kuch, Lois Hurlbut, Doris Underhill and Jacquelyn Brown sang solos. Jean Rocker, Elinor Rosebrugh and Doris Underhill were the accompanists at the various enterta inments. The sextet, under the direction of Mrs. McLaughlin and the accompaniment of Elinor Rosebrugh, made its first appearance at Springwater, where they sang between acts of the play, Why the Chimes Rang. They sang We Wish You a Merry Christmas by Krone and a Moravian Melody, Hai k Now, 0 Shepherds. In the spring they sang in a Sunday musical and at the Bath Soldiers' Home. Tney sang The Green Cathedral by Carl Hahn? The Robin in the Rain by Noble Cain; and The World is Waiting for the Sunrise by Clarence Lucas. Mrs. McLaughlin, D. Kuch, L. Hurlbut, N. Allen, D.

Bartz, Mr. Hurlbut BAND Because of the lack of an instrumental instructor in Wayland High, our band has diminished greatly in number. Perhaps the quantity has decreased, but the quality of the band’s tone still remains. We are very fortunate to have even our small band, and through Mrs. McLaughlin s work it has succeeded in reaching its goal. There were only a few activities in which the band participated this year. ’ Many selections have been reviewed, and it is certain that the band has accomplished much during the past year. Under the direction of Mrs. Charlotte McLaughlin, we have succeeded in bringing together one of the best choruses W. H. S. has ever had. The chorus is composed of twenty-two altos, twenty-one sopranos, six tenors, and five basses. When combined, they form a harmony which is really enjoyable to hear. Some of the school activities in which this snlendid chorus has been used were as follows: 1. The Christmas assembly entitled wWhv the Chimes Rang, a Christmas operetta, included familiar carols of that season. Elinoz Rosebrugh is chorus accorananist. 2. A very important feature was the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore w presented in March in the Wayland High School Gym, comnlete with all its gay and colorful ’ music. We are very thankful for all Mrs. and 45 a very good one. McLaughlin's efforts in making our Glee Club of '44 CHOKUS First row: P. Biddle, J. Averill J. Morsch, A. Schicne. F. Bona- dcnna, J.

SIAMP St BOND Although the Stamn and Bond Club was not organized until December, it has had one of its most successful years. Seeking to keep before the student body the necessity for each one to bear some share of the burden of the war, the Club has received excellent support from the student body esoecially the Junior Class. The Club anticioates that it will have sold by the end of the school year enough stamps and bonds to between seven and ten thousand dollars. The activities of Junior Red Cross can be divided into three tyres, local, naticnal and international. The local work is effectively carried on through the cooperation of the school nurse and the council. Working for the Veterans' Facility at Bath and other organizations represent our part in the national effort. This year boxes containing educational and health supplies are being sent to children overseas as an international project. RED CROSS Second row - Miss Yohon, P. Gray, S. Newfang, K. Zimmerman, R.

HI LITE STAFF The Hilites staff wishes to thank all those in the class who have worked hard and given generously of their time to make this yearbook a success. We sincerely appreciate the able assistance and helpful suggestions from Miss Spencer of the Art Department, Mrs. Weiermiller of the English Department, and the time and hard work Mr. Nitchke has contributed. Although we do not consider this a classic, this is only the second edition of the year book. We are grateful to the class of '44 for setting a high standard for this publication. We trust that future classes will maintain, and perhaps better our achievements. The cafeteria, though not an extra curricular activity, deserves its tilace in our school annual. In the true sense of the word there is probably more actual activity manifest during lunch period than in any other group or organization! Under the able direction of Mrs. Huntsman and an efficient staff composed of Mrs. Hoffman snd Mrs. Rossi they feed about 220 students every school day. (VII I ERIE 40 o Back row: L. Mehlenbacher, E.

Every Wednesday during fourth period about fourteen members of the Seventh and Eighth grade art club assemble in the art room to work on various projects. These students ap- preciate the opportunity to work in the regular art room and the fine work being turned out proves it. Recently they have been working on soap carvings which were displayed in the trophy case. A more ambitious project carried out by the entire club is a large mural, Settling of the West to be used in the eighth grade room. Of all of their activities watercoloring is the favorite. The Science Club was organized with the idea in mind of getting a group of boys and girls together who are interested in the various phases of science. Most of the students are now working on individual projects in the form of booklets and posters. The topics range from animals, flowers, insects and weather to airplanes. One grouD of boys is working in the shop on a bird feeding station. A very worthwhile class nroject will be the planting and care of e victory garden this spring. A fine cron of vegetables is an- ticipated by all the members. SCIENCE CLUE Left to Right H. Bartz, C. Zimmer, V. Hill, R. Platt, B. Haywood, E. Weber, A. Sherman, P. Butterfield, H. Wolfanger, J.

Hurlbut 41 ARE CLUB SENIOR PLAYS The seniors of 194-5 presented on November 17 three one-act plays, each being a superb success. Comes Romance , a comedy, made the older generation laugh 'till tears came, because it seemed so true to life. Nancy Allen played the leading role as a busy-body housewife and Donald Pebbles gallantly played opposite her as the henpecked and loving husband. Suoporting roles were played by Betty Oxx, Joyce Shafer, Richard Fox and John Dries, the beloved policeman. Joyce Shafer was especially good as an ignorant chamber-maid. First row - Mrs. Weiermiller, J. Shafer, B. Oxx, N. Allen. Second row - J. Dries, R. Fox, D. Pebbles. A bit of tragedy was added to our program in the mystery, Inn of Return , which seemed to scare the children out of their seats. Dramatio roles were played by George Morsch and Shirley Drum, who were supported by Norman Pfeiffer, Carlton Newfang and Robert Glover, while Marian Fox and Dorothy Holmes added the feminine touch. John Kimmel, playing the ghost, accomplished a fine Job of scaring the audience. This drama brought out the real acting ability of some of our classmatej. Seated - M. Fox, J. Shafer, G. Morsch, R. Stevens, B. Oxx, N. Pfeiffer. Standing - D. Pebbles, D. Kuoh, J. Kimmel. Last, but not least, was a farce enjoyed mostly by the high school students, , Georgie Porgie. It was so human that everyone young and old had to laugh. Stanley Trescott brilliantly played the role of Georgie Porgie, a loving little brother and son. His tricks were easily recognized as the deviltry of any boy at the age of thirteen. He was success- fully supported by Lois Hurlbut, Robert Stevens, Dorothea Kuch, James White, Velma Cavagnaro, Anna Rose Kramer, and Beatrice Eschbach. First row - L. Hurlbut, S. Trescott, D. Kuch.

Through the general shop course which covers a wide field of activities in the first year of high school individual inclinations, interests and abilities are watched and fostered. Industrial Arts provides opportunities for boys to make and do things they like to do. The Homemaking girls have done a variety of things this year. The 7th and 8th grade girls made simple skirts and aprons for themselves, and place mats and lunch cloths for Christmas presents. The high school girls have made dresses, pajamas, and skirts for themselves. The Hmkg. D girls have learned how to feed, dress, and care for small children; how to manage their time and money; how to care for the sick. 44 SCIENCE We are living in a world of science today. Through the ninth grade general science courses students are introduced to the field of science and exploratory work in various phases is stressed. Further study in biology, chemistry and physics is recommended for students who show an aptitude and interest in the work. Laboratory technique and correct use of scientific apparatus rounds out the program. In teaching mathematics, the department aims to develop the formation of such desirable habits as neatness, accuracy, and precision. All of these characteristics are valuable in future life and in any occupation. We are guided by the principle that in mathe- matics we have the one form of perfectly accurate thinking—certainly important in this era of propaganda and muddled logic. 45 Social studies department trains the young citizen to appreciate the use of his world back- ground so that he may live a fuller life as an American. The student studies local and state govern- ment followed by world geograDhy and history. He then specializes in the United States history and problems of American life. This gives him an understanding of the fundamentals necessary for good American citizen- ship. COMMERCIAL The Commercial Denartment of Wayland High School nronoses to prepare young men and women for bookkeeping and stenographic positions. The need for office workers is great during wartime so many students and several people in the community are availing themselves of this opportunity to prepare for wartime Jobs. 46 „ . . The . t Department consists of about 30 students taxing either elementary or advanced courses in Design, Representation and Mechanical Drawing Scents may be found in the art room working with pencil, water colors, charcoal and poster paints; or experimenting with soap carving, linoleum cutting, or new art processes. PHYSICAL EDLCATICN The Physical Education Department is aware that strong and healthy bodies go hand in hand with efficient school work. Therefore, through its integrated program of calisthenics and competitive games, good health habits, increased physical stamina and better muscular coordination are achieved. 7 ENGLISH The ultimate aim of the English department is to produce students who can read and write correctly and who can interpret and appreciate the best in literature, both classic and modern. To accomplish this objective we teach basic reading skills, correct oral and written expression, and the appli- cation of grammatical principles in this expression. Outgrowths of this study lead into such extra- curricular activities as dramatics, debating, library work, and other club activities. LANGUAGES It is often said that history repeats itself and that the present is significant only in light of the past; therefore in the language classes we seek through a knowledge of ancient and modern languages and civilizations to understand and appreciate more our own language and culture. As modern transportation and warfare makes the rest of the world more accessible and better known to us, it becomes increasingly necessary for us to know and understand better the different races and nationalities the world over. To this end we of the language department dedicate our time. 8 TEACHER FEATURES 49 INN OF RETURN 5HUITER LISTEN HERE CHARLIE 5POOR SWINGS THE AX SMILE PLEASE.
