Esenve aeco o VOLUME xxll1No4 6 -i f-- HUDSON, OHIO, OCTOBER IB, l945 Citizens of the World ls Highlight Speech of Saerchinger Visit Last Friday Mr. Caesar Saerchinger, well- known news analyst for the Columbia Broadcasting System, arrived for a week- end visit on our campus. Unable to attend the chapel service that morning Mr. Saerch- inger made his first talk on Friday evening to the Mugwumps of the academy and the Mugwumpettes from Laurel. His subject was his flying trip to Europe this spring. Sunday morning he was scheduled to speak to the senior class but was unable due to the Headmaster's illness. At Sun- day dinner he ate with several seniors. That evening he addressed the student body and guests on the subject, Citizens of the World. He began by recalling a few of the outstanding events in the closing and most terrifying phase of the war. These included the Battle of the Bulge, Remagen Bridge, the campaign of the Moselle and the Saar, the meeting of the Allied forces with the Russians at Torgau, the final sur- render of Germany, the Potsdam Confer- ence and the surrender of Japan immedi- ately after the debut of the atom bomb. At first we were all shocked at the crimes committed by our enemies against human- ity, but today we are delighted by the pun- ishments which are being brought against the guilty and the innocent- kicking a fellow when he is down. If anyone had observed the pathos in Europe caused by this war, he would realize the fault of this sort of spirit. This winter many will die either of starvation or of the diseases which have sprung up because of war. The United Nations have agreed on a charter at Dumbarton Oaks and have had a conference at San Francisco where this charter was revised and adopted by fifty nations. This new organization resembles the old League of Nations with its councils and court, but the leaders of the new or- ganization are more agreed as to their pur- poses. If Russia and the western democra- cies can agree, as they must, the new league will work. For such an agreement each country must rise above nationalism, political and economic, and begin to think in international terms. For many who have learned to think in national terms due to interest in personal gain this new idea will be hard to grasp. The basic necessity for such thinking and agreement is education not only of and about our country but also our neighbors, ene- mies as well as friends. A second necessity is the overcoming of nationalism and with it sovereignty. God was the first sovereign in the world. Gradually men of wealth and influence began proclaiming above the law, even crediting themselves with a divine right supposedly given them by God. How- M r. Caesar S aerchinger Mr. Saerchinger Speaks at First Mugwump Meeting On Friday night the first Mugwump meet- ing of the year took place with the Laurel Mugwumpettes at Pierce House. The group got together about six-thirty with Mrs. Hayden acting as hostess. Miss Lake and Miss Florence represented Laurel, and Mr. Pflaum, this year's leader of the Mug- wumps, directed the meeting. After a delicious dinner, the group, including be- sides the girls and boys Mr. and Mrs. Mickel, Mr. and Mrs. Roundy and Mr. War- ing, was addressed by Mr. Saerchinger. The commentator spoke of his trip to Eu- rope in April, immediately before the end of the war and of what he saw there, chiefly the destruction of the cities. He traveled with a number of other radio news analysts and during the trip met General Eisen- hower and later General Patton. They toured the fronts as well as the territory including Northern France, Belgium, Lux- emburg and Western Germany. The meeting came to a close about 9:3-0. It was a very enjoyable one, and it is hoped that the joint groups will be able to meet often during the course of the year. I945 War Chest Drive Announced in Chapel Reserve's nineteen forty-five War Chest drive was initiated this morning at chapel by Tom Allchin, student director of the campaign. The whole school will be can- vassed within the next few days by stu- dents chosen by the War Chest committee, composed of Allchin, Lindsey, Linforth and Messrs. Culver, Simon and Tilt. Mr. Cul- ver, over-all director of the drive, will can- vass the members of the faculty. This year's War Chest drive is a matter which deserves the earnest attention of every boy and master in the school, for the War Chest has a great task to fulfill in this postwar world. The Community Fund drive of former years and the War Chest drive will be combined this year for the last time. Therefore we see that this year, as in the past few years, we have atwo-fold job ahead of us. In the War Chest alone are incorporated nineteen agencies which bring relief to the war-ravaged countries of Europe and the Far East, and which take supplies and recreational facilities to our armies of occupation abroad. In the Community Fund, on the other hand, are included one hundred twenty-one agencies which provide much needed help for many worthy causes within the nation. Among these are agencies to help war-stricken families, agencies for providing wholesome recreation for the youth of the nation to reduce juvenile delinquency, institutions as- sisting in child care, homes for the aged, hospitals and numerous other philanthro- pies. The amount of money contributed by the students and masters of the school plus five hundred dollars allotted by the board of trustees from the school's capital will be divided into three parts. One portion each will go to the Cleveland and Akron War Chests fthe Hudson War Chest being a part of Akron'sJ, and the third to organiza- tions and agencies in Hudson such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Parent-Teachers' Association and the various churches. Last year the school contributed over nineteen hundred dollars. A Dr. Hayden ls lll ever, people slowly and painfully learned the weak points of a sovereign and recog- nized the value of a democracy. The re- maining sovereign states must be gotten rid of before we are free from the danger of war. Our only possibility is to unite into one sovereignty, the United Nations. However imperfect the new organization is, the United States must show others the way to an international and mature peace. After the vesper service Mr. Saerchinger fcontlnuod on Page 23, Column 31 While returning from the Pennsylvania station in Hudson, where he said farewell to friends on-Saturday evening, Dr. Hayden complained of illness. Stepping from his car, he collapsed and was assisted into Pierce House. Dr. Weidenthal was immediately sum- moned and diagnosed the Headmaster's ill- ness as a cerebral hemorrhage. While Dr. Hayden's condition is serious, there has been some improvement and the outlook is considered hopeful.

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.

Dear Reservite: If you are a Reservite service man who has just left the service or are about to leave it and are uncertain about what you want to do or how to go about it, this let- ter may be of particular interest to you. All of the Reserve masters and I want to remind you that our interest in you and in your educational growth is undiminished by the cessation of hostilities. And while we do not pretend to know all the answers, it would give us real pleasure to discuss your plans with you and to assist you as far as we can in deciding what you should do and how to proceed. If you were accepted by your chosen college before entering the service, you will probably Wish to proceed With YOU? original plan to attend it whether or not you actually took up residence there. In general, we would recommend this course. But it may be that you entered the service before securing admission to any college- If so, and if you are in doubt as to what to do, we suggest that you write and tell us your problem in some detail. Our Guid- ance Committee is anxious to turn its ex- perience and its knowledge of present prob- lems to your benefit. The college or university which you may consider entering undoubtedly has a Vet- erans' Counsellor whom you should con- sult even before writing to us. He is cer- tain to have more recent information about the veteran's opportunities in that college than we have. His advice would be helpful to us in considering your problems with you. It would be fine if you were able to come to Hudson personally instead of Writing to us. We can't promise to solve your prob- lem, but we'll do our best. And it would be a real pleasure to see you and talk with you again. Cordially yours Joel B. Hayden, Headmaster.

' In the meantime let us switch our thoughts to the Reserve chapel where the faculty are patiently, but vainly awaiting our New York visitor. The meeting is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of our Champion. He rushes madly to the pulpit and says, Our guest either didn't get on or didn't get off. Suh, suh, you is at de end of de line and now you has to get ,up! Great Caesar's ghost, porter, have you found my speech yet? Your speech, suh? Oh, dat thing! Me and de baggage man picked it up last night while ah was polishin youh shoes. Well hurry and get it, porter, I've got to read it to the boys at Western Reserve Academy this morning. We return to Reserve and find Jungle Jim chasing his classes through the halls in search of our hero, who by this time is just arriving on the scene, protesting the fact that he has not yet been permitted to eat. He is soon whisked away into a history class where J. C. and P. G. fall all over themselves Qand on the visitorl trying to make him comfortable. After this try- ing experience he is told to whip up a talk on The Effect of Japanese Beetle on Span- ish Diplomacy to be delivered the next period to the biology class. Our guest shud- ders, but being a man of great fortitude, he goes to work. He struggles through this and four more equally difficult tasks and does a remarkable job in. each. By this time our guest is utterly exhaust- ed. He thinks that now after such a strenuous morning he can relax and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal in the solitude of his room. But no! All his hopes are dashed when he is told that he has been scheduled to dine and dis- cuss current affairs with the budding jour- nalists. . At lunch he is served a bountiful meal of corn bread and beans. He downs this with gusto and now, his former vigor re- turned, he demands his next assignment. He is told that he must speak to the cam- pus crew on the possibilities of diplomacy as a career. So our guest is initiated into the crew and spends the rest of that after- noon raking leaves and sawing wood.

Mr. Roundy speaks. just ton the CR:-:Condi While at the dance, I ignored my girl long enough to jot down a few of the dancing types we have here at Reserve. Believe me, to the casual bystander they are very novel. Every dance has a couple dozen of the intellectual type who, from arm's length, look sternly into the eyes of the girls with whom they are dancing and inquire, What subjects are you taking this year? or Do you think the London conference will ac- complish its purpose? They think this will break the ice, but usually the girls answer Yes or No and slink off for the rest of the evening, leaving said species intellectalisv out in the cold with the inter- national outlook still unsettled. Next, there's the card. Everything he says or does sends the girls into hysterics, and he basks in his glory as the howling multitudes sing his praises. Those who really want to dance have to put up with his warped sense of humor instead. He getsga tremendous charge out of cutting in on the same girl all evening. At every dance there is at least one of the great lover type. He fancies himself irresistible, his mother told him he was! He definitely doesn't obey the six-inch rule. Gazing with soulful eyes at an- other's date he softly purrs, Say, honey, Pm yours for the asking at the next Laurel dance. Crudjul gets the prize for this one. Then, about the middle of the dance a few of the species nocturnalis or dreamers appear.. When they got a date, they never realized they would be so tired when dance night rolled around. As a re- sult they spend the evening on their dates' shoulders sound asleep. Benjie Lavin, '45, was an outstanding example of this type. He passed his technique on to our man Buchman. Probably the most egregious fcontributed by Huburt Gleason from Berstonj per- sonality at the dance was Jack Anderson, who exhibited the type of dancing taught only at our dancing school. He modestly admitted that he was the best in the class, and I am forced to admit that he's got something. , B. H. W.
