october 11, 1945 RESERVE RECORD just ton the Reconcll Once again I begin my semi-monthly ad- vice to those who need it most. I'm sure everybody on the time that there is days. There are campus knows by this a dance in a couple of many details connected lts lining comes outl with a Reserve dance beside a ruler, a stop- watch, and a victrola. Heading the list, of course, is getting the girl. This is usually done on the last day before date cards are handed in. For those who aren't so capable at computing, that day is Sunday. Last Sunday I watched Semi-Thatched Rea, Reserve's largest operator, in action as he cast caution aside and spent ten cents toward the promotion of a date. After a girl has been selected, there is really nothing left to do before the night of the dance but sit and dream about the coming evening--the dreams being subject to rigid censorship by the social committee, of course. Then as the big night arrives, we can find most any of our manly group care- fully shaving oft' the face-fuzz and ap- plying lotion. by the gallon.

I guess I'll sprint down, too. , William J. Barr William J. Barr, another addition to the faculty, comes from Stow, Ohio, where he has been living for the last nineteen years. A native Ohioan, Mr. Barr was born in East Fairfield, and soon after moved to Columbiana, where he attend- ed high school. At Ohio and Ak- ron Universities he took liberal art courses and received. his A. B. and M.A. degrees. A f t e r h i s graduation Mr. Barr served for a time as principal in West Lafay- ette, where he coached basket- ball and taught mathematics and history. For the last nineteen years he was coach at Stow High School. There he coached football, basketball and baseball. Two- thirds of the football and basketball games resulted in victories for Stow while he was there. For instance, last year his football team won seven out of eight games in the Metropolitan League, which includes some pretty stiff competition. Mr., Barr also taught math at Stow. At Reserve he is assistant coach in ath- letics, and, of course, his favorites for the winter and spring terms are basketball and baseball. In his lightweight football squad he can see a lot of talent, but no immediate hope for this year. A medium-sized man of athletic build, Mr. Barr played basketball and baseball in high school and college. Mr. Barr is al- ready well liked at Reserve because of his genial nature and we hope he may give Reserve as much luck as he gave Stow for William J. Barr B. H. W. Dance . . . rcontlnued From Page l7.

Mrs. Eilbeck's Son Marries On Sunday, October 211, Mrs. Mary Eilbeck's son, Blake, who graduated from Reserve with the class of 1925, is to be married in Washington, D. C., to Miss Cecil Royalty. Mrs. Eilbeck, for those who did not know her, was the school librarian until this year. She has been in Hudson all summer recuperating from a serious illness to which she succumbed early in July. Next week she will leave for Wash- ington for the marriage. Mrs. Eil- beck will live with her son and his wife when they get settled, probably in New Jersey. Although the school is sorry to see Mrs. Eilbeck leave Hudson, we share her happiness in her son's marriage. leer, Roush +.1g.1..1..1..1...-.II-.-.l1..1........1.....l.1.u-n Geo. H. Gott Hardware Co.

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.

Page 20 RESERVE RECORD October 11, 1945 Parma Eleven Downs Green and White, 7-0 Last Saturday, the Green and White eleven 'played its first home game and was edged out, 7-0, by Parma. In spite of the close score the Reserve squad didn't show up as well as in its previous game against Kent Roosevelt. Tough breaks in the forms of penalties and losses of the ball at critical moments spoiled the Tebmen's scoring pos- sibilities. Time and time again Reserve pushed the leather into enemy territory only to lose it on intercepted passes, fum- bles, or as a result of long penalties. The first two periods of the battle were relatively uneventful, both teams staying near the middle of the gridiron and ex- changing punts. Fullback Bob Joslyn turned in his customary good performance in the kicking department, getting off some nice punts when they were needed. One real scare for the Pioneers came just be- fore the half gun. In the closing seconds of the half Parma completed a long pass which looked like a touchdown until Dick Rogers nailed the pass receiver' from be- hind, just twenty yards from the slant lines. This play ended the first half, no score being made. In the third quarter Parma turned on the heat and marched to the Reserve ten-yard line. From there a pass was completed into the end zone for their lone tally. When Parma plunged the extra point the score stood 7-0 in the enemy's favor. Taking the kick-off, the Green and White started a determined march toward the goal posts. A series of successful maneu- vers carried the pigskin to the fifteen-yard line where a heartbreaking fumble lost the ball and a golden scoring opportunity. The remainder of the fray consisted of Parma's freezing the ball and Reserve's passing in an attempt to connect for a score. The report of the final gun found the ball in Parma's possession after an interception of a long Reserve pass. The team's spirit and general coopera- tion seemed to be low, and the forward wall was not as consistent as winning football requires. Several passes that might have gone for long gains were dropped, although Tom Allchin proved his ability to hang on 'R' Men Soccer Squad Wins A returning first-stringer for this year's football team is George Vaught, R man. Playing his second year at the right end spot, George, the Count of Corpus Christi, the playing field. There is much credit that can be placed behind his name on the type of football he plays. Tall, dark and well bearded he's been in the opposition's back- field as much as their halfbacks, In his four years at Reserve George has shown versatile athletic powers, though he shines the brightest in the pigskin sport. During the coming basketball season he will be counted on to fill the center posi- tion. His defensive and offensive work un- der the baskets while playing on the re- serves last year should earn him the place. In the spring he has divided his atten- tions between baseball and tennis. In the coming spring season he will probably be teamed with another boy to play the dou- bles matches for the highly successful Pio- neer tennis team. has held up his zone on George Vomght We congratulate and respect the athletic ability of George Vaught, R man.

Over Oberlin in First Tilt Kennedy Scores lone Goalg Return Game to Be Played Saturday On Saturday the Reserve soccer team won its first game of the year, defeating the Oberlin College varsity booters on Oberlin's oversize soccer field which took its toll of winded Reservites. However, since from the beginning of the game the Green and White team showed plenty of pep and spirit, they finally won the day by a margin of one point. Reserve's inexperienced team went into the game with the knowledge that their Oberlin foes had beaten previous Green and White teams for the last thirteen years. Though the outlook before the game was none too good, it improved as the game progressed. While many of the Reserve boys soon got winded, they seemed to have more pep than their opponents. During the first quarter the teams seemed evenly matched. During the second quarter the ball kept changing hands until Malcolm Kennedy, the center forward, got control of it exactly in front of the enemy goal and made a beautiful shot which slipped above the goalie's hands. From then on the game continued as be- fore with little or no change. The line did its best to make another score but was repulsed time and again. Mac Pierce on the right did some fine work centering the ball but Kennedy and his insides, Marton and Russell on the right and Nichols and Critchfield on the left, were unable to break through. All three of the halfbacks, Skip Newell at center, and Collister and Phillip on the left and right, played a fine game backing up their forward line and breaking up the enemy rushes. Towards the end of the game Glen Carter and John Miller, the fullbacks, were kept very busy by the Oberlin booters who turned on all they had to get a goal. Re- serve's goalie, Hartsock, playing his first varsity game, turned out to be one of the outstanding players of the day. The worst moment for the Green and White team came when, with about a minute of play, an Oberlin shot bounced off' one of the goal posts.- Luckily the ball was quickly cleared and kept away from the Reserve end of the field for the rest of the game.
