After the customary formalities of the October 18, 1945 ' RESERVE RECORD Page213 Marion Beth Kelly When the rumor started going around the school that the new librarian was sitting in her domain, nearly everybody went over to investigate. For the first few days the library did a thriving business, and those who were bold enough to ask the pretty librarianls name found that she is Miss Marion B. Kelly. Miss Kelly has come to the Reserve campus to take the place of Mrs. Eilbeck. who retired last year. Miss Kelly's home is in Struthers, Ohio, where she taught English and hygiene for eight years. She attended Kent State Uni- versity, where she received her bachelor's degree. At the University of Pittsburgh she took postgraduate work, and later attended the Syracuse Library School. where she re- ceived another degree. Her experience in- cludes a position in the reference depart- ment at the University of Pittsburgh and another as readers' advisor at the Youngs- town public library. The position of librarian which Mrs. Eil- beck left to Miss Kelly is an extremely difficult one, especially with the recent do- nation of many books. For a school of this size, she says. the Academy library is ex- tremely complete. Many old books encum- ber the library, however. Miss Kelly is getting to know more and more of the boys at a fast rate. The per- centage of boys who never go into the li- brary except to read an assigned lesson is rapidly diminishing. Miss Kelly manages the library with the same kindness and helpfulness as Mrs. Eilbeck did. Already she has gotten control of those with exuber- ant spirits, and the silent library is ruled by her firm but gentle discipline. The best way to know her is to meet her in her medium-the library. First Council Dante l For the first time in many years a Re- se1've Council dance was held at regular prewar time-7:30 to 11. Instead of gulp- ing down dinner in the late afternoon in oi'der to meet a train on time, dinner was held at the usual hour. Boys met their dates at Cutler at about seven and it was actually dark outside when the music be- gan. instead of having the last rays of the sun illuminating the dance floor. receiving line, the music of the nation's leading bands, in recorded form, started and continued throughout the dance. Al- though slow music predominatcd several fast numbers offered variety.

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.

Page 24 RESERVE RECORD ' October 18, 1945 Reserve Edged Out by Rocky ,River, 28-26 It was nip and tuck all the way in the fray between Rocky River and the Green and White on the River field Saturday. With both teams possessing the offensive power to score almost at will, it was by vir- tue of their conversions that the Black and White edged out the Reservites, 28 to 26. The game started with River receiving a short kickoff and immediately starting to march down the field. They went through and around a seemingly lifeless green-clad eleven. With hardly any defense against them they were able to set up the first score of the day. Their big fullback on the offense, Bill Hague, went through center to garner the initial six points. Don Seed- house passed to the left end, Boehn, for the extra point, and the Pioneers were be- hind, 7 to O, with very few minutes in the first quarter gone. The Tebmen now began to fight and took the pigskin down into the opposition's ter- ritory. This march ended with a pass from Sullivan to Vaught who took the ball over for the score. This one play netted the Reservites forty yards and the key to River's defensive weakness. Rogers kicked between the uprights to tie the score at seven all. The River team came back quickly after this setback to make their second touch- down. Both the score and conversion were made by Hague. In the second stanza the Pioneers tallied again on their aerial attack. From midfield Dave Nicholson tossed to Nat Howard's arms. With the leather in his hands Nat sprinted away from the converging River backfield to make the score 14 to 13. Re- serve's score remained at thirteen when Nicholson's kick was wide of the poles. Bill Hague was again in the scoring play in the second half, passing to Tom Sarles, the offensive right end, for the counter. Murray passed to Sarles for the extra point. Soon the Reservites recovered a fumble on one of their own punts in enemy ground. With this scoring opportunity they pushed to the six-yard line. Then Jimmy Roush shot through the off' tackle hole for the tally. Jim's kick was also good so the score stood at 21 to 20. It was the same score going into the final period. Then, in Reserve territory, Seed- house threw another long ozone ball to Tom Sarles, who went into the pay dirt standing. The conversion was good and eight points separated the two teams. The time was short and there was only two minutes to go when the Green and White once again reached scoring ground. They equaled River's number of touchdowns when Dennis Sullivan cracked the opposi- tion's line off his own right tackle for the score. The kick was again wide, so River took a fast and exciting ball game on two conversions. V leeb, Nesbitt, Brady Chosen league Football Captains After a week and a half of calisthenics and practice the league football squad se- lected Nesbitt, Leeb and Brady to captain the three teams. They now have their sea- son on the damp upper field. Leeb took the lead at the start by defeating Nesbitt and Brady. However, at the present time Nesbitt has a narrow margin over Leeb while Brady's club brings up the rear. The three coaches of the teams, Mr. Wal- lace for Brady, Mr. Husat for Leeb, and Mr. Pflaum for Nesbitt, hope to strengthen their teams with material from future var- sity cuts and advancements from light- weights. A meal in Cleveland for the vic- torious team is rumored to be the prize. To date, Leeb's right half,'Connors, suf- fering from a fractured ankle, is the only major casualty. The mud of the last few weeks evidently makes a soft cushion. With a few sunny days the teams will be able to tell their full power on hard ground and with the help of painted helmets will be able to tell each other apart.

Oberlin Booters Take Reserve Eleven, 2-I The Reserve soccer team's second game of the season, one which started well for Reserve, turned out to be a heartbreaker. With much more spirit than they showed last week when they were defeated by Re- serve on their own field, the Oberlin booters finally came out on top by a score of 2-1. In the first quarter of the contest neither team showed to advantage. However, it was evident that Oberlin was prepared to play a harder game than they had done the previous week end. Even so the Green and White boys were rewarded for equally hard play by a goal towards the end of the second quarter. This first,goal was a re- sult of fast rushing and skillful play in front of the opponents' goal. It was the center forward, Mal Kennedy, who finally made the winning shot. After the first counter the game con- tinued in the same manner as before, with neither team gaining the advantage. One could see, nevertheless, that during this time several Reserve players were getting tired out. The backfield was kept on the move by many Oberlin rushes. The three halfbacks, Phillips, Newell and Collister, with Bill Cleminshaw alternating, all played well. On the line Reserve had plenty of spirit, but Rich Nichols and Kennedy were outstanding. Reserve went into the third stanza of the game with the hope that Oberlin would not be able to stage a comeback. But the Orange and Red flag was not down yet- far from it, for they soon managed to slip a shot by goalie Hartsock. Then once again the game seemed to be slipping into a deadlock. The quarter ended with the score still tied. The last round proceeded in the same way until a freak shot slipped through Hartsock's hands. From then on till the end,of the game the Green and White boot- ers tired themselves out trying to force another score against their foes. O xv 0 At Reserve nearly everyone reads the RECORD.
