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.

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. It will be an informal dance, be- ginning at 8 p. m. and ending in time for the boys to catch the 12:25 train back to Hudson. This is the second year that Re- serve and the Laurel dorm girls have had a dance at Laurel. Many of the boys who attended last year had such a good time that they are going again The boys attending are: Seniors-Atkinson, Bradley, Brett, J. Carter, Dawson, Kelly, A. MacDonell, Mar- tyn, Prescott, Tanner, J. Kramer. Juniors-Ayers, Divoll, Garfield, Howell, Kaylor, Kramer, Laub, Melcher, Miller, Neal, Nicholson, Pierce, Roush, Rea, Russell.

YYCADBYX6 R Club Elects New Olficers Ruedemann, Dennett, Cockley .Chosenp 8 New Members Initiated At a dinner given on Tuesday night for the R Club, new members for the year were elected. Paul Ruedemann, soccer, swimming, and track star, was chosen president to fill the shoes of Buck Shaw who served last year. Laurie Dennett, who plays football and baseball and who will grapple for the Green and White during the coming season, was elected vice presi- dent. The position of secretary was won by Rollin Cockley, recently elected soccer captain. At the same dinner the initiation of eight new members took place. These are the boys who won letters during the latter part of last year but were not, as yet, taken into the club. The oath was administered by the newly elected officers to the follow- ing lettermen: Tom Clarke, '46-tennis, Richard Nichols, '46-tennis, Nat Howard, '47--track, Bob Beck, '45-trackg Jim Tim- mis, '45-baseball, John Atkinson, '45-- trackg Blaine Beal, '45-track, Don Hutch- ison, '45-baseball. The R Club now has 27 members and is planning many ways in which it may be of assistance to the school. At the meet- ing on Tuesday night an R Club spon- sored dance was planned for Saturday evening, November 18. As the present plans stand, the entire school is eligible to attend and the dance will be informal. Fur- ther details will be announced when plans are completed. Another matter in which the R Club is vitally interested is the Fall Sports Ban- quet. Committees are working on plans for a gala dinner and the exact date is expected to be announced in the near fu- ture. Jlaunur ull For the Period Ending October 17, 1944 John H.

I -fe- How ii-ue it is, as the old Greek Sage The Turner Lumber Sr Supply Co. said, that the handbook is Reserve's Bible. 'L Hudson' Ohio! - Phone 2.1 Dr, Hayden has expostulated frequently q.-.-.-.-------.-M- .-.- -.-.--rr-.----r-in-----.r----.-.14. in chapel upon the subject of our Hand- GCD- G0lft Hardware C0- l book--Reserve's guiding light. Many other devout prophets of our noble faculty have spread themselves amply on this sub- ject: Love thy Handbook as thyself, and more of the same, all good, strong mus- tard. Early in the morning, the pious Reserv- ite faces east toward Mecca, kneels rever- ently on his prayer mat, bows down before the Handbook on its incense-scented shrine, and prays to the great gods of the Hand- book not to give him tenths during the day. Let us quote from our sacred copy. From page 75, we recite in cadence the formal greeting to the master on entering class, Let me take the shovel, sir, your arm is getting tired. The entire handbook is written in this beautiful poetic style rem- iniscent of Shelley, Shakespeare, Milton, or Spooner when he stubs his toe on a Cleve- land curbstone. Followers of the gospel will even find on page 54 of your Morocco-bound fcompli- ments of Paramount Picturesj copy, the hymnal, which consists of The Hardscrab- ble Hymn, H99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, and similar favorites of Reserve Evangelists and Billy Sundays of the Hand- book. Under the helpful heading, Break- fast Preparationsf' will be found this rare fwhich, in restaurant lingo, means raw J and juicy morsel: For boys of the Athenaeum, North Hall, and Carroll Cutler, the process of coming from their dormitory to breakfast is very complex and necessitates the practice of a great art. The boy is seen to rush from his dormitory holding his English book be- fore him with one hand, studying intensely, and following it like an eager bloodhound nearing the end of the scent. With the other hand he brushes his teeth, buttons his shirt, clips on his tie, ties his shoe- laces fthis is considered the most difficult part of the process and requires a remark- able sense of balancei, and then gets his coat from his roommate who is carrying it. As, however, the roommate has to go through the whole art, too, this calls for a rather complicated juggling maneuver on the order of a trained seal. Since all this is done at a run, it has caused more than one circus talent scout to raise his eye- brows with appreciationf' Thou hast listened, thou hast been beaten on the head, thou hast been given exalted tenths-take heed. Such is the Word and the Light at Reserve. It is every Reservite's ambition to be a monk, to live in the Upper Room and Write the Handbook for next year. Remember, kid- dies, there is an old expression which says, J. Frederick Waring Mr. J. Frederick Waring has returned to take up his duties in the departments of English and history after a two year's ab- sence. The first of these was spent as an ambulance driver with' the American Field Service and the second in teaching abroad. Mr. Waring served throughout the Tuni- sian campaign with the medical branch of the British Eighth Army. Born in Savanah, Georgia, Mr. Waring attended school there. After he had com- pleted grade school, he became a student at Governor Dummer Academy in Massa- chusetts. Upon graduation he attended Yale and later studied English literature at Magdalene College, Cambridge Univer- sity. Before returning to America he taught in English schools. After his ar- rival in the States he taught for five years at Salisbury School. During this time he obtained his master's degree from the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. To complete his teaching experiences he spent some time at a girls' school. When the Tunisian compaign was com- pleted, Mr. Waring requested another year to visit and teach in Syria. Joining the staff at the American University of Beirut, he also took part in educational lectures which were given to the soldiers during their rest at Tripoli. During the actual campaign Mr. Waring was in several bombings but received no more than his share of action. Mr. Waring takes an interest in paint- ing and the collecting of antiques and books. His apartment in Cutler is lined with iron age lamps and other relics. But, sir, it says in the handbook .... This immediately makes that master sub- ject to your will, for the decision of the Handbook is supreme and final. There are, however, as is to be expected, atheists who read this statement with cynical unbelief. Don't be an atheist. 4.
