RES E RVIE ii RIECQ RD VOLUME XXI-No. 8 HUDSON, DHIO, NOVEMBER 2, I944 Successful War Chest Drive Surpasses Goal MacDonelI, Allchin, linlortlr, And Mr. Culver Head Drive Topping last year's high by more than one hundred dollars, the 1944 War Chest drive came to a successful close last week. The amount collected, 31965, exceeded all previous records for the Community Fund. As was the case last year, every boy and every master in school contributed gener- ously. The S641 collected from the student body fell 550 short of last year's sum. How- ever, the school enrollment is somewhat smaller, and, as there were no work pledges accepted, many were unable to equal their last year's donation. The average amount from each boy was exactly three dollars. With a contribution in excess of thirteen hundred dollars from the masters and Board of Trustees the drive was success- ful in going over the top. The War Chest drives of Akron and Cleveland will receive S1150 from the total sum. The remainder will be appropriated to various needy causes, including a small mountain school which remains open by our donation and the War Prisoners' Aid. Traecy Strong, who visited Reserve last year, was connected with the latter organization, which oversees treatment of war prisoners, both American and foreign. The drive was headed by Mr. Culver and by a student committee consisting of Sandy MacDonell, Tom Allchin, and Bill Linforth. Forty-five Reservites Attend laurel Dance The Laurel dorm dance was altogether too short decided the forty-five Reservites who attended the affair. In other words, the dance, which was held from eight to twelve last Saturday night, lived up to al- most all expectations falthough some felt that Miss Lake, Laurel's headmistress, was too vigilantl. Music both hot and sweet was served on platters by Jerry Moore and Company. In one corner Bill Boogie Laub and his sis- ter, Mary, who was chairman of the dance, took all honors for their carpet shearing. In the other corner Jack Carter and his date went to the other extreme and were noticed to dance standing still during most of the evening. The long and short of the even- ing's entertainment were that crackerjack couple Nancy Wilson with a height of five feet and John Prescott at six feet four. All in all the party was a great success. New Trailer to Aid Reserve Sailing Club In preparation for a season of sailing next spring, Mr. Louis Tepper has been working the past few weeks on a new trailer for the school boat, Pioneer . The trailer is all-metal and is equipped with a bumper, tail-light, and an adjustable hoist. The boat will be easier to load and unload, and the all-metal body is safer and sturdier than the rented one the school used in former years. F Pioneers new trailer Mr. Scibby will be in charge of a sail- ing club which will take the boat on trips to neighboring lakes next spring, since there is little time left this fall for any sailing. In the club the boys interested will learn considerable about small boats and will have a lot of fun learning to sail. Mr. Scibby has already interested several boys in the idea. The adviser plans to take the boat to such neighboring small lakes as Star Lake, and, if there is an increase in gas allowance, an extended trip may be taken on Lake Erie. Unlike Mr. Worthen's seamanship class last year, there will be no navigation taught in the club, but with training and actual experience the boys Will acquire proficiency in the skill of sailing a small boat such as the Pioneer. The club will be open to all who are interested and who want to try their hand at sailing. Glee Club Elects Ollicers On Tuesday evening the Glee Club elected ofiicers for the year. The presi- dency went to Holsey Handysideg Bill Kelly was chosen vice president, and Dave Nicholson was elected secretary- treasurer. For the important position of date manager the club chose Dan Collister. Under the able direction of these officers the club looks forward to a successful season. Council Dance to Be Held Saturday Evening Sixty Couples Will Dance to Music Ol Country's leading Bands This Saturday, November 4, there is to be a Council Dance in the Common Room of Cutler Hall. As in the previous dance, the bounds will be from Dr. Hayden's house to the Fine Arts Building on College Street, the walk from the Fine Arts to Teb's house, and the street in front of Teb's house down to College Street. The time will also be the same-the dance to last from 6:30 until 10. The music will be partly from the school's new popular record collection and partly from private collections. The school will continue to buy new records for each dance. Cleveland leads the list of girls coming to the dance with twenty-nine, Akron is second with seventeen, elsewhere, supris- ingly enough, equals Hudson with seven, making a total of sixty dates. ccontinued on Page 29, Column 23 ' -.. Thespians Form Newest Reserve Activity At last the group of boys and masters who advocated a Dramatic Club have suc- ceeded. They have won consent from both the Executive and the Activity committees. Beginning next term, the Dramatic Club will count as an activity, although it has been stressed that boys are not to drop from Glee Club and other activities in fa- vor of Dramatics. Mr. Cleary, who is heading the Club and acting as adviser, plans to be able to have either two or three one-act plays ready by Christmas and a three-act play in the spring term. Possibly there will be another in the winter term. The would-be-actors will devote several sixth and seventh periods each week to practice and will meet perhaps on other occasions. All Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores are eligible, and a great number of them turned out at the first meeting held last Monday night. Mr. Cleary stated that he hoped the boys could use the Public Auditorium of the Hudson High School for some of the rehear- sals and perhaps use their stage for the production of the plays. Much credit for the organization of the Dramatic Club is due to the tireless eH'orts of Jack Naylor. After campaigning for a long time, he was successful in getting a petition signed by many prominent students and masters.

Page 2.6 RESERVE RECORD october ze, 1944 Ruedemunn,Reviere Stem U.S. Offensive in 2-2 Tie Cockley, Kennedy and Stoltzfus Power Green and White Offense Playing their second game of the year, this time at University School, the soccer team last Saturday afternoon finally settled for a 2-2 tie with the Maroon and White of Cleveland. Despite a second five minute overtime neither team could seem to put the ball through the other's portals once again. Finally with dusk approaching both groups settled for the resulting tie. Reserve's foreign soccer team opened up for the first time about two minutes after U. S. tallied the first score. Bell of U. S. who had broken loose for a second, lined things up to Goalie Ed Collins's great- est discomfort, and slipped one past Ed. Reserve's ,foreign element composed of Stoltzfus of Syria and Kennedy of Trini- dad thereupon got mad and on a fast Stoltzfus to Kennedy play shot one through U. S.'s goal in considerable haste. The first quarter ended with the score at a dead tie 1-1. The second quarter was uneventful ex- cept for the continually beautiful playing of Ruedy Ruedemann, formerly from Europe, and George Reviere, onetime Re- serve's good-will agent to the Argentine. Ruedy and Reviere played the outstanding games of the day at their fullback spots. More than once with the Maroon and White jerseys bending under the impetus of U. S.'s goalward drive, these two faithful fullbacks broke things up pretty nicely, re- ceiving for their efforts nothing worse than scarred shins. Cockley, Reserve's oldest soccer man who this year is winning his third letter in that sport, opened up the third quarter when he rifled one to Stoltzfus, who fol- lowed to put the ball where it most prop- erly belongs. Immediately afterward U.S. fthis time a little aroused themselvesj broke loose and got another one through Collins to tie things up a second time. Thus ended the third quarter 2-2. The fourth quarter saw some real run- ning on the field, as both teams fought desperately for the winning goal. At one time U. S. was bouncing shots off our goal like buckshot, but Ruedemann and Reviere tended to stop this quickly. The quarter finally ended with the game 2-2. True to soccer rules and traditions the overtimes were played with ferocity on the parts of both sides. Still neither could score with the result that as the field be- came darker the game was called and settled on a 2-2 tie. This Saturday U. S. comes to Reserve to play again. The advantage this time will be slightly in favor of the Green and White, as our halfbacks are used to our long field. The U. S. field, slightly shorter, caused Halfbacks Cockley, Philips, and Young con- siderable trouble as they kept putting the ball clean over the road. This Saturday Reserve will be looking for a victory. Gridders Tie Chagrin I4-14, as Roush Stars The Pioneer gridders' record stands at two ties, one loss, and a win, after they tied Chagrin Falls 14-14 on Saturday. Up against a lighter team the Green and White showed that all they lacked was fight. Size, weight, speed, and Jimmy Roush's running couldn't make up for the fight that they encountered. The precision and speed of the opposition took them completely by surprise, and they were forced to make a second half comeback to come out with a tie. Reserve kicked off and held the Black and Orange on the first few plays. Taking over, they began to drive down the field. A fumble lost them the ball and halted what had looked like a touchdown march. From that play on Reserve hardly figured in the game for the first quarter. Chagrin went through the middle a few times and then switched to end runs, which have been so effective against the Pioneers all season. Near the end of the period Don Humme, the Chagrin quarterback, skirted around his right end, faked a lateral, and romped forty yards to score standing. Their fullback, Britton, plunged over for the extra counter, making the score 7-0 Chagrin. Vaught caught their kickoff and was through the whole team when the last man nicked his shoe and spilled him, stopping Reserve's second threat to score. The second stanza saw the Green and White picking up. They went to the Chag- rin thirty-yard line before another fumble stopped them. Again they were driven back into their own territory on off tackle and end runs. With six yards to go, Chag- rin went OH the Reserve left tackle for their second tally. Again their plunge for extra point was good with Reed hitting the Green and White forward wall. With two minutes of the half remaining Pete Brett reached up and intercepted a pass. Reserve really showed what it could do in those last minutes. Roush shook his tacklers loose and gained fifteen yards. Joslyn then replaced Arnold and went around end for twenty more yards. Roush again streaked through for figteen yards, and Reserve was in scoring position. An- derson caught a pass in the Hats and placed the ball on the five-yard stripe. Roush car- ried it to the one, from which Joslyn plunged over. Jimmy Roush converted for the extra point. Reserve started the third quarter the way they ended the second. In two minutes they had their second touchdown. After a quick series of line plays, in which Roush was again the principal ground gainer, Dick Anderson crossed into pay dirt from the seven-yard line. This time Taylor was substituted for the conversion. His kick through the uprights made the score 14-14. The opening moments of the fourth per- iod saw the Green and White really hold. With a first down the Chagrin eleven had the pigskin on the Reserve one-yard line. Pete Brett was the boy who stopped three Rafiid Zasew I .6 Latest cry seems to be See you at the Tudor Arms. . . .

Later in the stanza the Green and White again started to roll the opposition back. But two off'-sides penalties put them too deep in the hole and they lost the ball on downs. No other threats were made by either team in five remaining' minutes, though Nicholson was trying hard to con- nect on a long pass when the final whistle blew.

Page 23 RESERVE R E C 0 R D November 2, 1944 The Election . . . ITH just a little less than a week remaining before the national election, it is important that we watch the progress of the political fight. It is hard to keep up with the developments of the campaign and the world at war when study hours conflict with tempting radio pro- grams on current issues. However, everyone can watch the news in the daily papers and should, when the news is of such importance to us. Although all of ns are unable to vote, this election is bound to be of utmost consequence to our generation. It is obvious that the outcome of the voting will not change the outcome of the war. It most certainly will have a gigantic bearing on the outcome of the peace. We must live by the peace that is being made now and after the war's end, for we cannot afford to fight another war the magnitude of which we can but vainly comprehend. We have to watch the making of this peace, for it will re- veal our ability to live together without war, and the peace to follow will be determined in great measure by what happens next week on November seventh. The campaign is being waged bitterly by both sides and is said by some to be undermining our national secur- ity and the stability of all the nations of the world. But' our freedom is based on the fact that we are able to have a campaign and a national election in the midst of in- ternational strife. It is because we can still have a political struggle that we are a democracy, and we are a true demcoracy because at a time like this we have the power to change administrations. It is impossible to predict the outcome of the elec- tion. It will be close. Deciding factors will probably be the independent vote and the soldier vote. There are going to be a great many youths return- ing to civilian life from the armed forces after the war. There is no kidding ourselves about that. The outcome of this election may decide whether or not they will be able to find jobs when they do return. Many of us may be among them. If for this reason only, it is important that we watch the struggle closely and know what is going on. Al- though we cannot vote, we can at least have a prefer- ence and support it with sound reasoning. Sports Editor... I Q, QP ff' 1' VXWJJLH ,,,: 5 l' -3? In the fall of 1942 Robert T. Morse left Reserve to attend the Columbia Midship- man's school. In December of that year he received his commsision of Ensign in the United States Na- val Reserve. Duetoweak eyes he was not grant- ed his re- quest for active sea duty but w a s a S - s i g n e d to W a s h ing- ton, D. C., where he worked in the Navy Bureau of Personnel. In the spring of 1943 he spent several weeks assigning students in the V-12 to pre-medical, pre-dental and Lt. M orse pre-engineering schools. During this time he came in close contact with requests from Reservites who had joined the Navy under this program. This spring Mr. Morse received the com- mission of Lt. fj.g.j and was assigned to active duty in the Pacific war area. When Lt. Morse visited Reserve several weeks ago he was on his way to the Pacific coast. The cruiser to which he has been assigned is supposed to be the same ship on which President Roosevelt and Churchill were quartered when they signed the Atlantic Charter. THE RESERVE RECORD Joel B.

Looks as if there ought to be some excitement on the third floor of Cutler since Jim's roommate, Doc Kramer, is president of the Greens. . Byron Spooner was the White's choice for athletic manager, an honor well deserved. By made his letter in soccer in his sopho- more and junior year, but this year he hasn't been in action because of a broken leg. He was high point man on last year's basketball team and played second base on the baseball team. By hails from Rocky River. Sopliomores Elect Rogers, Howard and Williams Officers On Wednesday of last week the Sopho- mores held elections for their class officers in which the following were chosen for the various offices: Dick Rogers, presidentg Nat Howard, vice president, and Brad Williams, secretary-treasurer. Dick Rogers has been very active in the field of sports. In the fall of his fresh- man year Dick played quarterback on the lightweights. In the winter term Dick missed his letter as a diver on the swim- ming team by a margin of few points. He, however, received numerals for his excel- lent performances. In the spring of his freshman year he played second base on B squad baseball. This year Dick got off to a good start by making the varsity foot- ball squad. In the course of the season, however, Dick was unfortunate, breaking his collarbone in scrimmage. The new presi- dent is a member of the Whites. For the office of vice president the Sopho- mores chose Nat Howard. Nat, also, is one of the school's most promising athletes. He was one of two members of his class to make varsity football in his freshman year. In the winter term Nat was a forward on the freshman lightweight basketball team. Returning in the spring term, he received his letter as a discus thrower on the track team. This year he has been playing second string fullback and has made some im- portant yardage in the few games in which he has participated. Brad Williams, also a Green, resumes the office he held last year, that of secretary- treasurer. Starting OH in his freshman year, Brad played guard on the lightweight football team. In the winter term he played forward on the freshman lightweight basketball team. And in the spring term Brad was a good third baseman on B squad baseball. This year Brad was moved up to league football.
