Wellston High School - X Ray Yearbook (Wellston, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1964 volume:

f X-RAY Wellston High School Wellston, Ohio The school year came to an abrupt halt when the tragic news of President John F. Kennedy's death was learned. School was dismissed and the students spent much time watching the happenings in Washington on television. 2 President Johnson at Ohio University where he spoke of the task young people must face to defeat poverty in our nation. Many students of Southeastern Ohio's schools were excused so that they could go to Athens to see the President. A number of Wellston students were among the thousands of people who went to see Mr. Johnson. The Wellston High School Band had the privilege of being the only band President Johnson greeted after listening to their entire piece ’’Swingin' on Parade. ” The band may be seen at the extreme right as the President approaches. Foreword ALMA MATER Hail dear Wellston Alma Mater, Tis of you we sing As we love you Alma Mater, While your praises ring. May you ever in our memory, Cause our hearts to thrill, To your name dear Alma Mater, And to love you still. ___________ Introduction 1-6 Sophomores 33-38 Freshmen 39-44 Table of Contents 5 Dedication This year the X-Ray Staff would like to dedicate the yearbook to the people and merchants of Wellston. In this way, we are saying thank you for all the support given us throughout the year. We hope you will see the importance of a yearbook to the school and students and will continue to support it.

FLOYD FAUST, Minister Broad Street Christian Church Columbus, Ohio This synopsis presented with the compliments of THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK—WELLSTON, OHIO “Commencement! So many young people are confused by the meaning of the word.” So spoke Dr. Floyd Faust of the Broad Street Christian Church of Columbus, Ohio, when he addressed the Class of 1964, their parents, and friends on Tuesday evening May 26, in the Wellston High School Auditorium. What are some mistaken meanings of Commencement? One, according to Dr. Faust, is that the members of the class have come to the end of the perfect day because they are leaving their high school life, and thus their commencement is a time for sobs and tears. When such a feeling prevails, Dr. Faust said he expects somebody to get up and say, “The undertaker will now take charge of this service.” Another heavy piece of advice, according to the speaker, is that members of the class are now going out into the world. Such advice he believes is equivalent to saying, “The world is standing out there with a club, just waiting for you to come out.” It is not so he says, unless we make it so. In naming possible topics for discussions, Dr. Faust mentioned those relating to the great problems facing people today—problems of automation. of how to distribute the products of a society that no longer has a job link. There are other problems, but Dr. Faust decided that the topics for his discussion must be something more down to earth. These he chose from his experiences as a personal counselor, primarily of young people, over a period of thirty-five years. What happens to the fine young people who stand before him at Commencement and at their weddings—their eyes shining with the highest hopes in the world? Later he sees them when things have gone wrong, and they are torn by sorrow and suffering. They have stumbled and are likely to wreck their lives on what he calls the rock named Lack of Discipline, to which they have been unable or unwilling to stand up. So many young people take the attitude, “Nobody is going to tell me what to do.” Those who have such an attitude are headed for a rough time—they are going to bump their heads against rocks and come up with bruises and troubles all their lives. To prove his point, Dr. Faust cited two stories from the Bible; the first was that of Joseph who was sold by his brothers into slavery in Egypt. Years later, Joseph had risen to become a governor of that entire country. When his brothers came in time of famine, hoping to buy food in Egypt, Joseph recognized them and said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold.” Dr. Faust compared the experience of the brothers who came to realize their mistake, with the young boys and girls who can’t wait to get a car—a hot rod, and a girl of the s me design. So they marry and soon have a family. Then all of a sudden he faces a problem. There is a job he would like to have. But what happens? He is given an application to fill out, and does so until he comes to Education and Special Training. Since he has had neither, he feels as if a door has been slammed in his face. For him, a sign might have been put on the door, “I am Joseph whom you sold.” Dr. Faust added a second text that graduates should remember. He told the story about Jesus’ visit to Samaria when he asked a woman of the area to give him a drink of water from a well there. Her answer was. “Sir, the well is deep, and you have nothing to draw with.” Dr. Faust continued expanding his discussion of the person who won’t stay in school to finish, whose preparation for the future is practically nil. Perhaps this person has a great potential so far as ability is concerned, but he just can’t discipline himself—he has to get out, to do as he pleases. What a catastrophe when later he finds door after door of opportunity slammed in his face! How often the wife has gone to Dr. Faust for counselling with these words. “ I don’t know what is wrong with Jim. I don’t have to do a thing to anger him and yet he jumps all over me?” “And why not?” says Dr. Faust. “Every cent he gets goes to provide the necessities for his young children— food, clothing, etc., and still he is always behind with his expenses—always in debt. So he has come to feel that his wife and children are literally a ball and chain holding him. He begins to blame them for his own shortcomings. Actually, the second text applies to him, “Sir, this well is deep and you have nothing to draw with.” Dr. Faust then related a story from his personal counseling which vividly illustrated his point, which he had been requested to tell. This particular young man had a wife and three small children whom he had to support on a small salary which was barely enough for their needs with none left for education or special training. He was feeling completely frustrated because he wanted to become a minister, but could not risk giving up his present job, small though it was. In an interview with Dr. Faust, he had decided that he could not take the risk. Later, the young man returned for further talks. He had found out about Franklin University where he could attend night classes and study to become a lawyer. It would mean planning his life for the next five years so closely that everything except work would be crowded out. Their Sunday school, etc., he said, would be conducted at home. To Dr. Faust’s question, “Do you think you have what it takes to do all this, and what about your wife?”, he replied, “Yes, we have talked all these things over, and we think we can do it.” “And so help me,” said Dr. Faust, “they did. For five years they worked and sacrificed—the reward came when the young man was graduated, and passed the bar examination. The next Sunday, the whole family was in church.” As they left, the young man said to Dr. Faust, “What do I do now? I am five years behind with the Lord.” Today he is a prominent churchman, one of the top lawyers of Nationwide Insurance, and a leading citizen of Columbus. He has prospered materially too—a beautiful home and every advantage for his family—all because he recognized his handicaps, and was willing to discipline himself to overcome them. Dr. Faust at this point admonished parents not to mistake kindness as a cheap substitute for love—they must be willing to discipline their children wisely so that the latter will accept the rules of life that are necessary for real success. Dr. Faust then turned his attention to the second rock on which young people stumble these days—that is their relationship with members of the opposite sex. The young people coming out of high school now are living in the age called the “Big Fraud.” They have been told that this is a new day, that the old sex codes don’t hold anymore, that because of scientific knowledge there is a new morality and freedom. Today’s young people are losing control of their lives because of a mishandling of their relationship with the opposite sex. As a result, they are having babies when they don’t want to have them, getting married when they don’t want to get married. They are taking jobs when they don’t want to take jobs, and are seeing careers and beautiful dreams smashed before their eyes because they mishandled their relationship with the opposite sex. In his book entitled “Honest to God,” Bishop Robison says “Young people today ask, ‘Why shouldn’t I? What is wrong with it?’ Just saying, ‘It is a sin, is not the answer. It makes greater demands on the young man to ask, ‘Do you love her? How much do you love her?’ Then help him find out for himself that if he doesn’t love her, his action is immoral; if he does love her, help him to see that he will respect her far too much to use her, and perhaps destroy her for his own pleasure. “He must be sure he kr.ows what he means when he says, ‘I love her.’ It means that he is concerned for her real welfare—not for what he can get from her. From her point of view, she must be so concerned for him, his real future, and real welfare that she will do nothing to jeopardize them.” Recently a crowd of 4,000 Ohio State University students paid one dollar each to hear a German professor, Dr. Paul Tillich, speak on modern morals ar.d customs. Why? Because a great many of them have been trying out this new freedom, and have had a lot of trouble with it, so they are really anxious to know what is the answer. Dr. Faust offered proof that the youth of today of eighteen, twenty, or a few more years do not know all the answers, or cannot set up new rules that are infallible. His story dealt with one of the outstanding business men of Columbus. He was, in Dr. Fausts’ words, very cocky as he told his story: His wife, who was a buyer for one of the big stores, made frequent trips to New York. She was not very affectionate toward her husband, who became a good friend and finally the lover of a woman whom he met at his work. This woman’s husband was away from home frequently so her lover began spending more time with her. He was very cocky when he said it was all right —nobody was getting hurt, and he didn’t feel at all guilty about the arrangement which had gone on for some time. Finally, the man made another appointment for counseling, and Dr. Faust hardly knew him. The minister thought to himself that the wife or the husband had found out about the affair, and intended to bring the facts into the open. This was the man’s story: When he had gone to her home one evening as usual, she said to him: “Don’t sit down because you are not staying—you are going home. I can’t take this any longer; it isn’t because I don’t love you for I do. But to whom do you go home when you leave here—your wife! When you go on a trip, who accompanies you—your wife! When your picture at some social function appears in the paper, who is at your side—your wife! And where am I? I sit here and cry—I can’t take it any longer. It is tearing me to pieces; it is no good! You are going home and don’t call me. If you do, I’ll hang up.” “Well,” said Dr. Faust, “the man admitted their situation was hopeless. Today his life cannot be put together right again, and hers is about as bad. These were two people who thought they could make a judgement—if they were not wise enough to judge correctly, do you young people think you are any better? Dr. Tillich had concluded his lecture by saying, “Will you remember that the old laws and codes were not the thunderings of some dictator from the mountain—they were the distilled experience of millions of people over ages of time.” Dr. Faust quoted Dr. Tillich’s last words, and then concluded his talk by saying, “Now young people, if you can be careful of these two rocks, and conduct yourself in such fashion that you don’t wreck yourself on either of them, I will feel justified in saying Congratulations. Put your hand in God’s where it will be better for you than a light, and safer than a well-known way.”
