October 4, 1945 RESERVE -RECORD Page 15 Social Committee Plans At Reserve, as is the case in almost all prep schools, a good social program is a key factor in the morale of the student body. Dances, formal and informal, offer pleasant diversion from the work and rou- tine of daily school life. The school's social policy in the past has been a very satis- factory one, offering numerous dances and other events throughout the year. This year, the first one of peace since 1941, offers many possibilities for social events now that so few wartime restrictions remain. The time of dances, which in the past was made inconvenient by train sched- ules, has been put back on a normal bal- ance again, hours being from '7:30' to 11 with a half-hour intermission. Other changes and additions will be presented to the student body at class meetings. About two weeks ago the new Student Social Committee held its first meeting un- der the direction of Mr. Cleminshaw, Social Committee Chairman. The meeting was held in the Infirmary as Dave Nicholson, Peace- Time Schedule Council representative, was confined there temporarily. At the meeting, dates for fall term dances were discussed and tentatively decided upon. Two of the three dances for the term will be sponsored by the Coun- cil. One of these dances has been sched- uled for October 13, the second date is November 3. The other event is to be an R Club dance, planned for November 17. At this meeting a printed set of regula- tions and rules of conduct for dances was presented and thoroughly discussed. This printed material, which is simply the ac- cepted and time-proven policies of Reserve, was drawn up by the head of'the Social Committee and proved to be very adequate and complete. The members at the meet- ing felt that it would make the job of explaining dance regulations to the students much easier and more thorough. Before the first dance each class in the school will hold a meeting at which a repre- sentative from the Student Social Commit- tee will outline the dance regulations and answer any questions that arise. Samuel F. Husat New at Reserve, but experienced in the profession of teaching, is Samuel F. Hu- sat ipronounced Hewsut, for the benefit of all those who call him Mr, Whoosit.'l For the last year he has been recuperating from a wound sustained in the Normandy i n - vasion. Before he was knocked out by artillery fire two weeks after the land- i n g, h e h a d served fourteen nronths with the G-2 D iv i s ion H e a d q uarters , 1, where he read Mr. Samuel F. Husat and i n t e r r o- gated enemy prisoners. Nearing recovery in October of 1944, he received a medical discharge from the army, but he is still not the man he once was, he says. A Rumanian by birth, Mr. Husat was brought to Alliance, Ohio, when he was only two years old. He has lived there ever since. .At Mt. Union College in Al- liance he received his A. B. He did gradu- ate work in the Latin and Greek depart- ment at Harvard University and received his masters degree at the University of Michigan, where he had a fellowship. His work to obtain a Ph. D. from the Univer- sity of Michigan was interrupted by the war, but he is now working to complete it. Before the war Mr. Husat was head of captured letters' Record Sponsors Cartoon And Photography Contests This year the RECORD plans to run three photography and cartoon con- tests: one during each term. The first of these will begin immediately and will terminate on November 29- four days after the return from the Thanksgiving recess. All pictures for the contest must be printed on glossy paper and cartoons must be drawn with black ink on white paper. Subjects for cartoons and pictures must concern campus life. All material submitted, which should be left at the RECORD office, may be used in any way in which the staff deems wise. The judges this year will be the Reverend Raymond Burns, pastor of the Hudson Congregational Church, who was formerly in charge of pho- tography at the school, and Mr. Wil- liam Moos, instructor in Industrial Arts. Two first prizes of 37.50 each, one for photography and one for car- tooning, will be given, two second prizes of 35.00 each and two third prizes of 82.50 each. the modern language department at Al- liance high school and returned there for the winter and spring terms last year. At Reserve he teaches Spanish and Latin. With his wife he resides in the Slaughter 'House on Hudson Street. Modest about his military experience and studious life, Mr. Husat is at the same time cordial and interesting to be with. It is to be hoped that he will find Reserve a congenial place for his teaching in the years to come. in fiiiiii ill THE SPEAKER TALKED so Lou., on wunr ug wggt some ro rim.

Reardon The Time ls Now Last Saturday Reserve officially opened its fall competitive sports season. Though we bowed to our opponents in this first contest, we found we had the kind of spirit winning football requires. School spirit has been the topic. of many an editorial published in this paper in the past. We feel, however, owing to the im- portance of the subject, that it cannot be brought to mind too often. The outcome of last Saturday's game is well known. Our team needed experience. It- needed con- fidence. That is why we urge you to GET BE- HIND THE TEAM! Our rooters showed a gratifying display of enthusiasm last week, especially considering the fact that the game was played off campus, thus mak- ing it didicult for many to attend. If a few can do so well, what can we do as a whole? We want and need the kind of pep and vigor displayed last fall at the University School game. Let's not wait 'til the end of the season to give the team our best. Learn the school cheers. Attend the games. 'Let our rivals know that we mean business. To quote a well-known phrase-Come on, Reserve, LET'S FIGHT! , I-leldinilewzve Friday, October 5-Mr. Parker speaks in chapel, 8:05. Saturday, October 6--Football game with Parma, here, 2:30.

Vespers In the dictionary one finds that the word vespers refers to a religious service held late on the Sabbath day. It is most natural, therefore, for us to' have our ves- per service in the evening instead of in the afternoon. There are indeed many reasons which speak for having it at the new time instead of the old, first and most obvious among them being that it is now held at the hour when most vesper services are conducted. It may also be. said that the vesper service now comes at the beginning of the new week, instead of at the lowest ebb of the -old. Sunday tea marks the end of the old week, and it is then that the student's mind seems to turn to the tasks of the week ahead. The time itself is preferable be- cause then the service does symbolize a beginning instead of an ending. There was another complaint which was held rather generally against the old time, that it cut Sunday afternoon far too short. Many were the times that games had to be called off prematurely, or the downtown movie left at the crucial point, in order that one might be on time fort vespers. Moreover, the service prepares one for study, a difficult task on Sunday night, particularly after an especially good week- end. No one will deny that there are objec- tions to the change, among them one which is very sound. It is the fact that the change brings boys back from week ends earlier, particularly upper classmen. How- ever, now that more gas is available, the situation is not as bad as it might have been last year. Nor is it nearly as bad as it might have been had the decision been to bring the whole school back for a five o'clock vesper service. So there are con- solations. gust ton the CRacondl From my perch atop the tottering brick one and all as the an excellent view of the feature of which attempted dunking by structure' known to Athenaeum, I had last week's events, was, of course, the the sophomores of a member in bad stand- As this column went ing of their class. to press the same person was seen leaving town with a full laundry case-shades of Meet Me in St. Augustine! Magic in large quantities has been mys- tifying the brethren of Cutler Hall. Led by Ten little fingers and ten little toes Howard, who can make anything except the guys in his closet disappear, they have con- jured up many right good tricks. Even Scotch is baffled, which is definitely some- thing new. The football team got a good start on a crop of beards with their first loss of the season last Saturday. A few men have signed an agreement not to shave till we win a game. Shepard wants to know if WITHOUT RESERVE Waiting Can Be Fun! As I take pencil in hand in readiness to 3 ,, make all you new boys howl with laughter, my ' mind wanders back to I I a time earlier today f K fwhat a memoryj A when we had our week- 14 QI' ! ly drop-day throw 7 Pi E' , for waiter at our table. ff Of course it was purely Q fate lending a hand ,A when the count hap- ' ' pened to land on one ' of our innocent freshmen. Because my heart bleeds so for these young men I shall do my best to expose those awful tricks we upperclassmen pull on them. One of my favorites is the odd man racket. Although L do use this method with some skill, probably the best known artist along this line is Blueshins Gordon. I have heard several of his victims remark, He blinded me with footwork! Another little number that is often employed is the Start with Weick and go around rou- tine. No matter how much one argues, the counting always starts with Weick. Of course it isn't that the throw is fixed or anything of that nature. After all, this is Reserve! Builder of men! Well, on second thought, maybe it was fixed. Probably the farthest extreme to which anyone has carried this throwing busi- ness as yet was the occasion when Jim Rodman stumbled on a theory for making any chosen person or persons throw any number desired. The result was a compact machine capable of controlling 5000 volts. However, the machine was never used here and it was frowned upon by the dining room committee. You might hurt Some- body with it, they said. Instead, Jim pat- ented it, and made a small fortune selling it to small-town jails, thus eliminating the necessity of taking all killers to the state prison to be electrocuted. So let me warn the new boys. Whenever an upperclassman wants you to throw for waiter-refuse him point blank. If it gets to the point where you have to carry bricks for talking back to seniors about throw- ing, don't relent. After all, it's not so hard carrying them. Ask those who know. N. H. they have to shave when we do win! Following in a noble tradition of many years' standing, the prefects have mass confiscations of the choicest able viands-yes, I know it's a Word Wealth word. The sophomores who fly low over Cutler are the chief losers. Be- fore Muscles Jarboe hits me, I'll leave. begun avail- B. H. W.

Soccer Squad Practices: Team Rounding Into Shape With almost two weeks of practice under its belt the Reserve soccer squad is begin- ning to look like a fairly strong team. Al- though most of this practice has been played on wet fields, the boys have been able to accomplish a great deal towards the forma- tion of teamwork. The forward line, which seems to have had the most competitors, is still very Hex- ible. Mac Pierce is the most consistent player on the right end, although he gets plenty of opposition from Emerson Garver. Tom Clarke has tried the position, but it ap- pears that he will be working with the backfield in the future. Moving in to right inside, we find Chuck Critchfield, who has been unable to play for some time. He is supported at this spot by Bill Marton and Dave Sheldon. Provided that Malcolm Ken- nedy keeps his tricky knee in good condi- tion, the center spot will be the most skill- fully played position on the team. He is seconded by Paul Russell. Rich Nichols, though he also upholds the left wing, has been playing at left inside for some time. Terry Garrigan and Bud Ryan have both been playing at the left wing position. Skip Newell and Bill Cleminshaw seem to be the first choices for the center half- baek position. Dan Collister and Fritz Smith are the strongest bidders for the left half, while Corky Phillips and Johnny McCombe are now at the right half posi- tion. Glen Carter, John Miller and Bob Wattleworth are all strong contenders for the fullback spots. At goal Phil Hartsock is showing up well. The Academy booters still have a long way to go to reach their peak, but Reserve can be sure that in their first game with Oberlin they will turn in a spirited per- formance. 'R' Men A prominent member in the ranks of R men around Reserve is Dave Nicholson. Tall, dark, curly-headed Dave has every appearance of being the versatile sportsman that he is. It was his fight teamed with his beadwork t h a t gained him first- string berths d u r i n g every e a s o n l a s t year. Nick is at present in his second year as first-string quar- t e r b a c k, his third year on t h e v a r s i t y squad. An ex- pert passer, he did his part against Kent on Saturday. It was No. 58, Dave Nicholson, who inter- cepted a pass that would have meant a touchdown for Roosevelt, and he also knocked down the opposition's passes in the end zone. During the winter months it's basketball under Wally for Nick. A solid guard, his shots from way out had a lot to do with the reckoning of the scores last year. At the opening of the spring season last year he showed up for baseball and took over the second base spot. In this position he proved to be the batter who was needed for power.

Kent Roosevelt Routs Pioneers, 26-6 The Pioneer eleven got off to a bad start for the '45 season when they fell before Kent Roosevelt Saturday night. On their own field and under lights the opposition amassed a score of 26 to 6 over the Green and White. The first half was a close iight, both teams using the openings to move the leath- er down the field. Kent found Reserve ends susceptible to their wide runs and short passes and swept the wings for good gains. At the same time the Tebmen gained their yardage through the off-tackle holes and advantageous punt exchanges made possible by Bob Joslyn. Only one score was pushed over in the initial half-this by Roosevelt. The Red and White passed and ran the Pioneer ends until they had reached the 20'-yard stripe. From there they went over on an end run. Aside from this, the fray seemed even until the third quarter. In this period the Kentmen once again hit pay dirt, making the score 121 to 0. This was quickly coun- ter-balanced when the Reservites took the kick and drove to Kent's 35-yard line. From here the Green and White retaliated, Dick Rogers doing the job. Dick took the ball and on a quarterback run through the tackle hole, romping the 35 markers to score standing. This was the eleven's one bright spot during the evening. Reserve relaxed somewhat after this and Kent was quick to take advantage of the opportunity afforded. In the few minutes remaining in the third stanza the home team took the long kick by Paul Shepard and charged up the field to Reserve's 10'-yard line on a series of wide end sweeps and passes. The time caught them before they could score, but four or five plays at the first of the last quarter put the ball over the double line. This time their conversion was good. The score now stood 19 to 6. Then, once more, before the final gun they pushed down the field to scoring terri- tory on ,passes and long sweeps. Again they scored and converted, making the final score 26 to 6. The middle of the line from tackle to tackle held up and pushed back all that the Roosevelt team could throw at them, but this was not the case on the ends and in the backfield. The left end was especially weak, while the faulty pass defense prob- ably sealed the Pioneers' doom more than anything else. Reserve Position Kent Roosevelt Vaught ........ . ..... R.
