Tlli..-, RESERVE VOLUME XVI-N0. 7 Benefuctors' Pictures Adorn Biological laboratory Two pictures of early residents of Hudson and benefactors of Western Reserve have been recently hung in the Biological Lab- oratory. One of these is the likeness of Mr. Alfred Pettingell who was born in London, Eng- land, July 14, 1837, and died in Hudson, April 16, 1914. He was engaged in the jewelry business for many years in the town of his adoption but never tired of en- gaging in his hobby of natural history, his particular interest being insects and butterflies. He was a contributor to many learned societies and was at one time of- fered a position with the Smithsonian In- stitute. This he refused because he en- joyed the work and life in Hudson. The second picture is one of Dr. Frank Hodge who was born in Buffalo, New York, October 26, 1833, and died in Hudson on July 14, 1909. He prepared at Western Reserve Academy and entered Yale College as a sophomore. From this institution he was graduated in 1856. He practiced medicine in Hudson for many years and spent as much time as his patients permitted him in his favorite hobby of collecting birds' eggs. The collections of both of these men were given to the academy and their pictures will now hang above their collections. 47 Reservites Will Attend laurel Dormitory Dance NeXt'Saturday night 47 boys from Re- serve will attend a dormitory dance at Laurel.

1 Page 22 RESERVE RECORD I october 19, 1944 Gridders Tie Rocky River 7-7, in Close Gamep Roush Smashes line for Long Run and Only Score In this season's third game the Pioneer gridders fought their way to a 7-7 tie with Rocky River High. Held in their own territory for the first quarter, the Green and White had no chance to try their offensive plays. They were forced to punt out of danger every time they had the ball. Neither team outplayed the other, but with the wind against them along with the breaks, Reserve didn't look like the powerhouse that it has shown itself to be. The visitors passed over the line to good effect in the opening moments, thus plac- ing the ball in home territory for the first quarter. A In the second quarter Reserve took the ball deep in its own territory. On the first play Jimmy Roush pulled his teammates out of the hole by going sixty-five yards on the first ground play attempted by the home eleven. Then it looked like the team was on its way. The Green and White jer- seys seemed to surge towards the Rocky River end zone until a fifteen-yard penalty interrupted the advance. Losing the Ball on Downs Reserve held for the first time in the fray. Numerous line plays were pushed back by Dennett, Howard, Gardner and Brewer, and the Tebmen took the pigskin again. With passes to Vaught and Hot- tenstein, Reserve once again started to roll towards pay dirt. But time ran out as they were on the Maroon and White's twenty-yard stripe. The third period followed the first two in every respect. The teams waved back and forth in the middle of the field. Re- serve depended on passes mostly, while Rocky River swept around the ends for most of their gains. The Maroon and White's speedy little quarterback, Seedhouse, got away around end once and crossed into the end zone standing up. But an offsides pen- alty was called on his team and the play resulted in a five-yard loss. Siddall threw some fright into the opposition when he tore around end on a few reverses for ten or fifteen yards each time. In the fourth stanza both teams opened up with everything they had. The Green and White stuck with their passing which had netted the most yardage so far, and the River eleven kept punching away at the ends. Showing some tricky reverses that almost caught the Rcservites off guard, River gained some big yardage. With about nine minutes of playing time left the Pioneers took over the pigskin on their own forty-eight-yard line. Still in the air, the Green and White drove the Rocky River team back. Changing to ground tactics when the goal was in sight, quar- terback Nicholson gave the ball to Roush on the same off-tackle play that had been so effective throughout the game. Jimmy toted the leather ten yards for the initial score of the afternoon. Tebby then sent John Taylor into the game to try' for the conversion. Johnny sent the ball through the- up-rights to make the score 7-0 in Re- serve's favor. V After that set back the Riverites came back strong. Outfighting the Green and White, they put everything they had into their end runs. Because of this consistent hammering they finally were able to get their fullback Deitesfeld loose. Weaving in and out between prospective tacklers he romped forty-five yards to score. Open- ing a big hole off tackle, the Maroon and White sent Daveys over for the extra point to tie the score, 7-7. By Roberts Roush scoring ' 0 Rafud Ramve Everybody who keifs is a keifer, and you keif till you die. When you're all keifed out, you go to Keiflandf' Thus it saith in the constitution of that honorary club of the KEIFERS.

Other Woozers, truly an hon- orary and distinctive group, include the brothers Siddall, Dennett, and that Ruby Ranealleanen Gardner.

Page 24 RESERVE R E C O R D October 2.6, 1944 First Grades Are In NE week ago each of you received marks for the first period of this year. Good, bad or indifferent, they represent your accomplishments and the results of your application for the first six weeks. There is, as always, a large number of boys in- clined to feel a bit disappointed with these results. This seems to be a widespread attitude with the Re- servite, regardless of the relative quality of the grades. In this first period of indication, there may be some justification for falling short of your expectations. The problems of scheduling, of getting settled, and of leav- ing vacation behind can hardly be overlooked. The pres- ence of these problems might well prevent a maximum of mental application which is so necessary for any degree of success. In terms of their actual influence upon the final grade, those grades bear no more than a little effect. as a stimulation. They offer, above all else, a veritable gauge of a number of matters. They are a direct indica- tion of those subjects in which each of you are weakest. They reveal whether or not your use of free time and your allotment for studies has come to a favorable bal- ance. They disclose exactly the results of your efforts. The remainder of this term and the entire winter term will hold no slackening in their requirements. Furthermore, there will be a great deal of interesting, tempting diverson which appears at various times. It will assuredly occur to you to let your work slide, even if only an occasional evening. It may be necessary to learn from experience, but ultimately the truth will out. Every undone assignment will stab you in a dozen places. It is the better part of common sense to expect the worst. g First of all, improve what marks are lowest. Very likely they seem inadequate, but don't give way to de- spair. Be disappointed, if the case calls for it, but never Their value exists primarily as an indication and secondly disheartened!

Rollie, who has won his letter in soccer both in his-sophomore and junior years, is the mainstay of the team this year in the center half-back position. So far this year he has certainly played the kind of soccer deserving of this honor. Rollie, the newly elected secretary of the 1944 RU Club, will be in there kicking when U. S. comes up to play off the second game here this coming Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A member of the basketball team and twice a letterman in tennis hail- ing back from his freshman year, Rollie has proven himself to be one of the school's best athletes. I news received from Lt. Caldwell was on September 3. he is well enough to move around. It will not be long before Carl will be able to re- turn to Reserve to resume his school activ- ities. All students leaving on double week-ends or athletic trips will be expected to turn all homework into the masters or make ar- rangements with the masters before leav- ing the campus on these trips. Beginning next Monday all books left in the hallsf including stairways and floorsj will be collected and fines must be paid before the books will be returned. f 'z f' vi .J il P 1 r. r. l I o Thursday, October 26-Dr. Hayden speaks in Chapel.
