Holsey Handyside, who was one of two who led yells last year, graduated in June, leaving Stu Leeb as the only leader. This year two more boys were chosen to help Stu direct the spirit of the school in a good year of athletic competition. The boys were chosen from a group of five fel- lows who tried out. Each boy led cheers at the first rally, and two were chosen from the group by a vote of hands. The new cheerleaders, Ted Jones and Chick Holt- kamp, will assist Stu, who has been a cheer- leader for three years. Cleveland Manager of Time Magazine, D'0rsay Hurst, Speaks To Journalism Classes and Record Staff Sunday Morning Last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Mr. D'Orsay Hurst, the Cleveland manager of Time magazine, spoke to the journalism classes and the RECORD staff of Western Reserve Academy. His subject, journalism, he defined as any form of informative com- munication including documentary films, newspapers, magazines and radio. While the newspapers take care of the spot news, they cannot look into the backgrounds or full significance of their subjects. Magazines emphasize these details because their arti- cles are not so limited by time. The radio gives both local, national and international news as it comes across the telegraph wires whereas the newspaper in normal times has local news almost exclusively. Mr. Hurst then turned his attention to journalistic preparation. There are several means of studying for a journalistic career. The first method is to start at the bottom in a newspaper office and work up the hard Way. The second possibility is ajournalism school, but in an establishment of this sort there is usually too much training in the technicalities of newspaper publishing and not enough in the expression of ideas. The best training, the speaker pointed out, is a thorough education in the humanities to en- able a journalist to think straight. The technicalities of setup and printing can be learned more quickly by experience after a background has been acquired in college. In closing, our guest emphasized the fact Mr. D'Orsay Hurst that there has been a world change in the past two months. We are entering the Atomic Age. With the advent of atomic power there must be one world or there will be no world. To achieve one world there must be an understanding among nations, an understanding which comes from knowl- edge. At the top of the heap America must realize that with her strength comes responsibility. It is her obligation to be able to understand the problems of other countries and to help in their settlement. Toward a better world friendship interna- tional journalism will play a great part. Science has greatly encouraged better means of transmitting news to all parts of the world. The NEW YORK TIMES and the LONDON TIMES both are sent across the ocean by air thanks to microfilm. When they are received, they are reprinted by means of photo-offset, a cheaper method though not so attractive as conventional printing. In the question period which followed Mr. Hurst was asked about the popularity of the newspaper as compared with the con- stantly improving means for the dissemina- tion of news. Other questions concerned wontlnued on Page 20, Column 27 . Noted Radio Commentator Revisits Reserve Campus. Tomorrow morning Reserve is to have the privilege of a return visit from one of last year's most popular guests, Mr. Cesar Saerchinger, noted radio commentator and news analyst. Mr. Saerchinger was on the campus for several days during last Oc- tober addressing various classes and groups throughout the school. This year he has come back for a long week end and will do more or less the same thing, attempting to inform the students concerning the im- portant facts now before the councils of the world. During his stay on the campus, Mr. Saerchinger will inaugurate the Civil As- sembly program on Friday morning. He will lead the first Mugwump meeting that evening at Pierce House. On Saturday our visitor will speak to a number of history classes, and the following day he will meet with the seniors in the morning and ad- dress the entire student body at Vespers in the evening. Later that night he will go to Cleveland to make his weekly broadcast. The guest will visit classes again on Mon- day and leave Tuesday morning after ad- dressing the school once more in chapel. The Academy welcomes Mr. Saerchinger back with pleasure, and hopes that his stay, despite the pace demanded of him, may be an enjoyable one.

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. Reserve hails the athletic prowess of Dame Nicholson Dave Nicholson, R man. . Il r 11 QL- ly nt ' SS P R I N T E R S 22l2-I8 Superior Ave. 0 MAin 209i o Cleveland. 0. 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.

Reardon lt's Up to Us One possession that many of the students at Reserve don't realize that they' all hold in common is the very school itself. The buildings, the furniture, the recreational facilities and the lawns are all ours for the nine months in which we live here. They are ours either to care for or to degrade. We are responsible for the appearance of the school. We should accept this respon- sibility in the manner in which we accept the fact that we must have our lessons in at a certain time. It seems fitting that we, the student body, should be concerned over the appearance of the school. Are we not at heart proud of our homes when they are well kept? Do we not take great pleasure in making our automobiles look just as neat, clean and shiny as it is possible to make them? Well, then, what about the place where we live during three quarters of every year? After all, our part is truly very simple. It is almost completely a negative matter. We must not throw trash on the campusg we must not treat furniture in such a way that it soon must be repairedg we must not write on desks and other wooden ar- ticlesg we must not willingly destroy any of the school's property. If we cannot re- strain ourselves from doing these petty things, we are not treating ourselves or the school justly or honoring the memory of the founders of the school. , Helping Hands Boys aged between 15 and 17 were caught in a very curious position during the war: they were too young to fight but too old to be utterly useless on their country's home- front. Moreover, nine months of the year they were engaged in schoolwork which- especially at Reserve-took up all of their time. The obvious answer to their predi- cament was work during the summer- hard work which would keep both the home and war fronts going just a little faster. And that's what they did. Some of them worked in factories, some in grocery stores, others on farms-any place where a help- ing hand was needed. At the end of the summer they went back to school holding their heads just a little higher and came out of the war with a little clearer con- science than those who had the most fun while the fun was to be had. It is very hard to define a satisfactory civilian contribution in wartime. Certainly there are none who made as great a sac- rifice as those who actually fought. How- ever, teen-age boys who at least made an attempt at helping out are to be given credit for their contribution. Many Re- servites who otherwise might not have had to work in the summer are known to have chipped in and sweated a little for their country. Let us not forget that the patriotic as- sistance given in wartime may well be preserved for the days of peace. There ,is much to do before the peace is secure. Eoys of our age should not overlook any contribution we can make. wiiuuui ill.-:ill-IEIVE The Story of Joe Joe's grades were .f-. far from good as a Q5 freshman. It was his i misfortune that every X' time that he had a question in some sub- ject such as Latin, the master or prefect on duty stated that it had been so long since he had had the subject, that he had forgotten all that he had learned. He doesn't stand too much of a chance, said the assistant head- master, and it wasn't long before the re- mainder of the faculty, headed by the headmaster' chimed in, Doesn't stand a chance. Tsik, tsik. Doesn't stand a chance. Therefore, Joe became black- balled from the start. In his sophomore year he had a sum- total of seventy-four swats, and, because he had accidentally slipped on the snow and had fallen on Senior Campus , he had to carry six bricks for two weeks. But it was a different story concerning the grades. This year Joe had the foresight to pick a brilliant room-mate, one who had already made a name for himself in the field of scholarly performance. Therefore, at the end of the first grading period in his sopho- more year, the assistant headmaster had good cause to say at faculty meeting, You know men, I think Joe Doaks is going to make a good name for himself and in his senior year he might even make Cum Laude. He was immediately joined by the head- master and the dean, who simultaneously chorused, Might make Cum Laude, might make Cum Laude.

In his sophomore year, the prefects tried each night to see who could draw blood on the first swat. Thus, because he was unable to walk without a slight limp, his merit score was always endangered. But at heart, Joe was really a good boy, and was coming along rather well in his subjects with the aid of his room-mate. He was also very well liked by his fellow stu- dents and by the faculty, and, when the vote for the next year's prefects came around, Joe had even won the approval of the present prefects. Therefore, Joe was elected to be one-twelfth of the prefect sys- tem for the following year. Naturally Joe was overjoyed at the pros- pect of becoming a prefect. Look at the privileges it had to offer: an extra show a week, late-lights, and last, but far from least, the honor of using the paddle. With school over for the summer, Joe went home and took his paddle with him. Every night he practiced his swing and improved his wrist action by swatting against a pillow. He even bought exer- cisers to strengthen his wrist, and to im- prove his back and arm muscles, he did fifty or more push-ups a night. The night before school opened he had a meeting with the other five prefects in the room of his dorm master. Everything went perfectly until the dorm master ut- tered a phrase that was agreed upon by house masters. The only two words that meant anything to Joe were, . . . pad- dling . . . abolished. Everything to which he had looked for- ward was ruined by those two words. All he had hoped for and had worked so hard to achieve was wrecked. After the meeting was over, Joe walked out, too stunned to make any comments as the others had done. Y That night he lay awake until one o'clock, reasoning with himself, swearing at house masters for having abolished paddling. Then he realized why it was abolished. The faculty didn't want things happening to future students that had happened to him. It was a pretty good idea after all, thought Joe, whereupon he turned over and fell asleep. S. L.
