They record the trials and tribula¬ tions, successes and failures, and ambitions and aspi¬ rations of the group of young men and women who leave school this year to face the world. But above all, they record twelve of the happiest years in our lives, the memory of which will always serve as a source of inspiration and satisfaction to us. We have appropriately chosen the sun dial as the theme of this year¬ book. The twelve hours on its face correspond to the twelve years we have spent in school. The sun dial records only the hours during the day when the sun is casting its radiance upon the face of the earth. At night it has no value since there is no light. Similarly, the time we have spent in school has been a time of enlightenment. We must not, however, let this stop now. The sun never sets on the realm of education. We must go on gaining knowledge and education, for if this process ceases, we will die intellectually. For a person who is intellectually dead, life holds nothing. As we look back over our years at Wellington, we see a record of time well spent. We see many cheerful, pleasant hours of sunshine and enlightenment which have served to make our lives more complete. Indeed, most clear among our recollection is the sun dial; for us it has served well, marking twelve of the finest years of our lives. ADMINISTRATION Ralph D. Purdy, our new executive, smilingly greets you from his desk in the main office. As general supervisor of Wellington’s seven-hundred-fifty pupils and thirty teachers, he endeavors to put into practice a philosophy of democracy, which recognizes the needs, abilities, and interests of each individual. Pupil guidance plays an important part in this program. Throughout the year, the superintendent has interviewed and counseled with all seniors and with numerous other students. An attempt is made, as the photo at top left snows, to furnish informa¬ tion concerning colleges and vocations, and to aid in plans for life work. Shown here is a senior office assistant, who, with other commercial students, has received some practical office experience during the year. Familiar to all are the faces of D. Glenn Swanger and Sarah B. Huntridge, who supervise grades 10-12 and 7-9, respectively. Here the problems of students and teach¬ ers, the bugaboos of attendance and scholastic records are met and solved with genia¬ lity and understanding. From lost mittens to choosing a vocation, the offices meet the problems of the school with the tools shown in the last picture—a little ink for keeping records, a calendar for keeping time, books for keeping facts at hand, and a guiding hand to put all tools to the wisest use.

We started school twelve years ago; The time passed ceaselessly and slow But with it came a shining ray To guide us through our life each day. To our Alma Mater we bid farewell, But in our hearts her memory will dwell. She will lead us down the road of “Success,” And past the lane called “Idleness.” We fear not streams which brawl most loud, And loudest to a doubting crowd. Along their course, they’re often shallow, And only the coward seeks to follow. We leave our comrades tried and true, And seek to build our lives anew. In sorrow, grief, or bleak despair, We’ll find all solace in our prayer. We do not ask that life shall be Forever care and sorrow free; We ask but faith to stand before What’iere the future has in store.

The future is uncertain. If our country enters this war, it will change the lives of all of us. Yet, it is an ambitious group of young men and women who will proudly step forward to receive their dip¬ lomas on the night of June 5. Regardless of the situation in which they find themselves, they are determined to suc¬ ceed. SENIORS RICHARD W.

To our Alma Mater we sing a song of praise, For now, on new adventure our destinies we cast. Our teachers’ efforts fill us with deep gratitude, And their lessons we will ne’er forget. “To find a way or make one” is the motto we’ve pursued, We hope we haven’t failed to live up to it as yet. Leaving cherished memories behind us, We of Forty-One say au revoir. Each is proud to be a Wellington Alumnus, And each will strive to do good both near and afar. ■ ( 14 ) JUNIORS President ..

SECOND HOUR: We advance further along the trail of learning. This year we had two new students—June Carpenter and Ray Fortney. indulge in our first year of Geography and THIRD HOUR: The shadow grows larger as we English. FOURTH HOUR: The same old gang is back again. We had several teachers this year after the death of Miss McKittrick. We finished the greater part of the year with Miss White. FIFTH HOUR: Under the patient guidance of Miss Whitbeck, we gave a Thanksgiving play for the sixth grade. We picked up Lillian Davis and Jack Rudolph along the way. SIXTH HOUR: Being the oldest on the play¬ ground, we felt quite proud this year. We got our first taste of history under the guidance of Miss Schott. Ruth Cordray, William Hart, and Elizabeth Pitts joined the class. SEVENTH HOUR: A mile-stone in our young lives was our entrance into Junior High under the guidance of Miss Huntridge. Keith Preston, Lois Breyley, Elaine Perry, and Don Park entered our class. EIGHTH HOUR: Being able to smile at the blun¬ ders of the seventh graders, we are a, little surer of ourselves. Patricia Hopkins, Richard Avery, Ethel Wait, and Edith Campbell joined our ranks. NINTH HOUR: We are grown up now, as we are the oldest ones in Junior High. Our new members this year are Bernice Barber, Donna Rogers, Allan Lamb, and Lawrence Thuclium from Huntington, and Viola Ward from Sullivan. We had a Hard- times party as our first social function of the class. TENTH HOUR: We were allowed seats in study hall this year and are once more the ‘‘bab¬ ies.” Mary Ellen Hoffman and Don Lara- bee joined the class, Ray Fortney re-enter¬ ed from Orrville, and Phyllis Coffin came back after a rest at Pleasant View Sana¬ torium. During the year one of our mem¬ bers Claude Sheldon, lost his life when he was struck by lightning. ELEVENTH HOUR: We devoted the entire year to earning money for the annual Junior- Senior Banquet, which took place on May 10. A nautical air prevailed throughout this event. One of the most difficult tasks which we undertook to raise money, was the serving of a dinner at a music con¬ test. The boys donned aprons and proved themselves a great help. We gave the Seniors a run for their money in the an¬ nual color-fights. Bob Stewart was our only new entrant. TWELFTH HOUR: Now, there is no shadow on the sundial: we are at the high point in our lives. The long-talked of “Senior Privi¬ leges” are no more. (Juniors have them all.) This year Florence Griffith and Mary Marlette joined our ranks. As in the past, we published the annual, had our pictures taken, picked out invitations, and are now ready to pass on as alumni of W. H. S. We thank the Juniors for their enjoyable Junior-Senior Dinner-Dance on May 9. Class Day was May 27, and Baccalaureate on June 1. On June 5 at Commencement, we received the first leather-bound diplo¬ mas in the history of Wellington High School.

June Carpenter, Lois Breyley Gaining the right with two other Class C or¬ chestras to represent Ohio at the Regional Music Contest at Flint, Michigan is the happy culmina¬ tion of the Senior Orchestra’s efforts this year. Besides playing for the numerous school func¬ tions, the members of the orchestra have contri¬ buted their part in bringing the County Music Contest Award (Class C) to the school for the third consecutive year. This year they won by the largest margin of all. April 5, and again at the State Finals in Colum¬ bus on April 19. In both of these events they were “tops,” and we are proud to know that we have one of the three best Class C orchestras in the entire state. Several ensembles of the orchestra have also won state recognition, the string quartet (3 times regional contestants,) the drum trio (Re¬ gional 1940,) the brass quintet, and Mary Ellen Hoffman, clarinet soloist. May we wish them and the orchestra, continued success in their endeavors. Continuing on their path of “Superior,” they competed at the District Contest at Bellevue, ( 21 ) ' First row, left to right: Beverly Baker, Marolyn Pitts, Elizabeth Pitts, Wilhelmina Brandt, Elsie McConnell, Betty Jean Wiles, Jeanne Gibbins, William Tegtmyer, Earl Butler, Carol Linder, June Carpenter, Patricia Hopkins, Ethiyn Newberger, Maureen McCormick, Gerry Hughes, Roger Piper, James Massard, Richard Buswell, Laura McConnell.

We see the band formed into a large “W” at the half of the football games. Besides play¬ ing for the athletic events, the band participa¬ ted in the dedication of the War Memorial. In the County Music Contest the Band receiv¬ ed the only “Superior Plus” given during the contest. Under the able direction of Laura Mc¬ Connell, the band had a busy Decoration Day playing for the local services and for those of several of the surrounding communities. The Junior Orchestra, which is the foundation for our Senior Orchestra, is composed of stu¬ dents ranging from the fifth grade to the ninth grade. This group had a very successful year including a rating of “Superior” at the County Contest at Clearview.

SPORTS REVIEW This group of boys represented Wellington High School in sports during the 1940- 1941 school year. They are truly all-around sportsmen as most of them participated in all three sports—football, basketball and baseball. FOOTBALL: The 1940 Dukes played a hard schedule losing only three of eight games. Tops in performances this year was the Amherst struggle, which the Dukes won 13-0 at Amherst. It destroyed the “Amherst Jinx.” McKisson got away for 75 yards for the first touchdown and left-end, Beard, scored the other on a pass inter¬ ception,. well for a fast backfield. Since the only regulars to leave are Robert Weber, Keith Preston, Richard Markham, and Lyle Clark, indications for a very strong 1941 team are in evidence, Stellar performances were turned in by the following lettermen, of which the first eleven named are the starting line-up: The Vermilion game was a dogfight ending in a 6-6 tie. Center Weber’s sensational block of a last minute field goal attempt by Vermilion saved the ball game. The best of the losing games was the battle at Medina at which the undefeated league cham¬ pions, Medina, won a hair-raiser, 14-6. Welling¬ ton threw away three other scoring opportuni¬ ties by being penalized for being offsides inside the enemy 5 yard line. A strong line blocked Roscoe Beard, Paul Marshall, Warren Green, Robert Weber, Richard Markham,, Keith Pres¬ ton, Robert Cassell, Lyle Clark, Russell Mc¬ Kisson, Tony Marley, John Barson, Charles Cas¬ sell, Alvin Hannum, Leon Clark, Leon Dagnan, Roland Handley. Managers were Chester Mar¬ tin and Harold Hazlitt. Russell McKisson, powerful running back and John Barson, star plunger and passer, were elec¬ ted 1941 Co-Captains. ( 26 ) BASEBALL The 1941 Baseball team should be a fairly strong one. Last year’s strong battery of Char¬ les Cassell and Roy Rucker has departed and new men must be developed. Leon Clark, Ro¬ land Handley, and Walter Hyde will return to the field. All are lettermen. Outfielders return¬ ing are John Barson, Robert Cassell and Tony Marley, who may operate at first base this year. If the pitching and catching develops as expec¬ ted, the Dukes may be a winning combination. Promising prospects for the team are: Ros- coe Beard, Lloyd Buckley, Eugene Buckley, Don¬ ald Brenner, Rade Zubrick, Lawrence Thudium, Paul Marchall, Robert Yoxtheimer, Roy Perkins, Richard Buswell, Leslie Hardy, John Downey, Warren Hoffman, and Charles Willard. COMPLIMENTS OF Lee Motor Company Hudson Cadillac SALES SERVICE SATISFACTION ir ) nxco HI-TIMES SUN BASKETBAL The 1940-41 Basketball season was dis¬ tinctly a success. The Dukes operated often with four sophomores, both as starters and occasionally as substitutes. In the line-up a junior, Lloyd Buckley, also played often and capably. The Sophomores were Leon Clark, Roscoe Beard, Leon Dagnan, and Wallace Gal¬ latin. The Dukes broke even in basketball, defeating every league team except Clearview, the league champion. Me¬ dina was defeated once. The best performances were in the home games with New London, Amherst, and mighty Vermilion. All these games were won by last half rallies on the part of the Dukes, who finished strongly. The only other team to defeat Vermilion was Clearview. The best losing performances were against Clearview who pulled out a 31- 26 score to avoid defeat narrowly. The Amherst Jinx took another rude jolt when the Dukes edged the Comets 25-24 in January. The Comets got even later by defeating Wellington in February. COMPLIMENTS OF Keith S Andrews L The Dukes were the surprise of the N. Oj L. season and amazed even their most ardent admirers by their inspired play, The Reserves also performed nobly and turned in the best Reserve record in years.

FIRST: Our will is that all expenses of cremation and burial services be tak¬ en care of as soon as possible after our decease. SECOND: We bequeath in our turn as follows: GENERAL DISPOSALS TO THE JUNIORS 1. To the Juniors we say about “Sen¬ ior Privileges,” “We didn’t receive any. We didn’t gain any. Therefore, we can’t leave any,” TO THE SOPHOMORES 2. We bequeath to the Sophomores the secret of our efficiency in studies. To them we also will our method of skipping school. No need to leave this to the Juniors. TO THE FRESHMEN 3. Upon the Freshmen we bestow permanent seats in Main Study Hall. TO THE FACULTY 4. To the Faculty we leave the hope that the the following Senior Classes are not so obnoxious as this one. PERSONAL DISPOSALS 1. Ruth Cordray wills to Allen Car¬ ter her technique in upsetting the whole study hall by sneezing. He needs to be a little more boisterous. 2. Ray Fortney and Clarence Bar- bor leave their prison walk to Bob Cope and “Doc” Hyde. 3. Laura McConnell gladly wills her blushes to Jeanne Gibbins. Jeanne looks nice in red. 4. Gladys Oney relinquishes her slimness in form to Dot Deiterich. Gladys says to eat Rye Krispi 5. Robert Hardman leaves his curly hair to Ivan Smith. Bob certainly does¬ n’t want it. 6. Theresa Marley also wills her hair to a Junior, Mary Witbeck. It will go so well with her big, brown eyes. 7. Norman Rogers gives his knack for getting kicked out of four classes and remaining in school to anyone else who thinks he can do it, 8. Fred White passes on his height to the future basketball teams. That’s all the teams lack. 9. Elaine Perry bequeaths to Tony Marley the privilege of wearing out the new rug in Mr.i Swanger’s office. She’s already gotten rid of two. 10. Lyle Clark transfers his nick¬ name, “Twitchy,” to his brother. May¬ be Leon can knock off the Jr. when Lyle has graduated. 11. Lillian Davis gives her argumen¬ tative powers to stall off Civics tests to Betty Jean Wiles. Betty Jean has al¬ ready saved the class from several his¬ tory tests. 12. Patricia Hopkins leaves her pug nose to Janet Olsen. It really gets ’em. Janet needs a little more work on hers to make it turn up. 13. Mary Marlette and Viola Ward will their classy clothes to Evelyn Saxe. Evelyn already has a good start. 14. Lawrence Thudium hands over his Gene Autry manner to Warren Green. Even now Warren has his red Cowboy shirt. 15. Chester Martin turns over his job as manager of alll athletics and also a steady place in Glee Club to Bud Wil¬ lard. 16. Ethlyn Newberger says that what little she has left, she’d better take with her. ( 36 ) HI-TIME S SUN 17. Lois Breyley bequeaths her talent for hooking’ football heroes to Elsie (who’s already got one). 18. Roland Handley wills his long shots in basketball ga mes at the appro¬ priate moment to ’Gene Buckley. We’ll really need ’em. 19. Evelyn Smith, Margaret Eibner, and Anne Saporito give their beautiful voices in glee club to Dot Norton, Peg Bohlen, and Ireta Page. They have a little different style. 20. Richard Avery leaves his studious nature to Merle Baumgardner. We hope that Merle doesn’t get sidetracked like Dick has. 21. Mary Ellen Hoffman transfers two things to Louise Harris, her red hair and her inability to get corny jokes. Louise has to have them diagrammed too. 22. Jack Rudolph hands over his ideas for designing the annual cover to the artist of next year’s class. We hope they can even come close to ours. 23. June Carpenter wills her facility for getting caught chewing gum in or¬ chestra to anybody who tries it. 24. Elizabeth Pitts leaves her speedy conversation to Dorigene Moore. The southern accent s hould sound better than ever speeded up a little. 25. Florence Griffith bequeaths her ability to interview teachers and get away with it to Beverly Baker. Beverly seems to be able to skip any classes. 26., Russell Jameyson decided he lik¬ ed his Civics too well to part with it, so he wouldn’t leave it to anyone. 27. Ford Bassett gives his technical knowledge of motors to Charles Bors. He wants it. 28. Marolyn Pitts wills her place in the string quartette to Ruth Dunford. 29. Albert Clodwick and William Hart leave their tardiness to “Speed” Cassell and Harold Miller. 30. Don Park bequeaths his unnotic¬ ed wit (especially in Physics Class) to Jill Grissinger who has a little of her own. 31. Robert Stewart wills his shyness and unobstrusiveness in all matters to Bob Foultner. Bob blushes while he talks to girls, too. 32. Don Larabee leaves his dancing to the Juniors. They can all use it at the Prom. 33. Edith Campbell and Ethel Waite give their quietness to Raymond Hay¬ nes. Maybe that will tone him down a little. 34. Phyllis Coffin transfers her abi¬ lity for being witty with the customers at Gill’s to Betty Whitney. 35. Robert Weber relinquishes his sleepiness in study halls to Russ Mc- Kisson who never wants to study any¬ way. 36. Donna Rogers bequeaths her pleasing personality to John Barson. He hasn’t fought with anyone yet. He’s too cool, calm and collected. In testimony whereof, we have set our hand to this our last will and testament at Wellington High School this twenty- seventh day of May in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-one. The Class of 1941 Per Ethlyn Newberger June Carpenter The foregoing instrument was signed, published, and declared by said class of 1941 as their last will and testament.
