RESERVE RECORD VOLUME XXII-N0. 7 AP? ----A HUDSON, OHIO, OCTOBER 25, I945 'lvbvf Qveffivn' 'S Meeting in Cltapel on Parents' Day Civil Assembly Topic On Tuesday morning Dr. Philip Taft, As- sociate Professor of Economics at Brown University, addressed the school at a Civil Assembly in the chapel. After a few in- troductory remarks about how pleased he was to come to Reserve, the guest spoke to the school on the labor question in the United States today. He mentioned the basic causes of labor disputes such as the breaking down of old relationships between the employer and the employee, the breaking down of old skills and crafts by developments in technology, and general fatigue in industries as a whole. Dr. Taft then went on to mention a few of the cures for labor disputes and strikes. He said that we must expect strikes to oc- cur in this period, since it is one of let-down after the war crisis. We must realize, too, that there are just grievances on both sides which need to be eliminated if harmony is to exist. And lastly, the speaker stressed the necessity of keeping one's balance and an open mind in respect to labor questions. New Senior Room Proposedp Plans Are Still Tentative It has been decided that it is necessary to construct a room in the basement of Cutler Hall which will serve as a Senior Coffee Room as well as a game room. Plans comprise the painting by the senior class of the walls already standing and the obtaining of furniture which will in- clude a piano, a victrola, and a ping-pong table. Although present plans are uncertain, Mr. Waring is trying to obtain furniture from the disbanding U. S. O. in Cleveland. Bob Garfield is working to get the walls painted and the equipment which is stored in the Cutler basement moved out. The chief reasons for this project are the facts that at present the faculty are disturbed by the noise in the Senior Coffee Room, and the seniors in general feel that they are not permitted sufficient liberty in their present quarters. Although the proj- ect is still in the formative stage, there have been some definite steps taken. I-leadmaster's Condition Improves Since Dr. Hayden's illness, which began on Saturday evening, October 13, the Head- master has made moderate gains toward recovery. While the feeling of apprehen- sion still persists, there seems more rea- sonable hope that later news may speak of continued progress.

At 6:00 the parents and boys are in- vited to a turkey dinner. This program allows time for the sons and their parents to be together during the afternoon and the dinner hour as well. After dinner there will be held in the chapel the opening meeting of the cam- Vesper Spealier This Sunday, at the 7:00 vesper services, the Rev. Walter F. Tunks of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Akron will speak to the school. For many years the Reserve Glee Club has held its spring concerts at St. Paul's Church of which Dr. Tunks is pastor. Dr. Tunks has visited the campus many times in the past. His visits have been thoroughly enjoyed by all, and the Academy welcomes Dr. Tunks again this year. paign to acquaint the Academy family with the background of the effort to raise the million dollars. The speaker of the eve- ning will be James Powers, Foreign Editor of the Boston Globe, who will discuss the fu- ture of education and its relationship to the school here. Mr. Powers, who was here in the fall of 1942 at the sports banquet of that year, will be introduced by Mr. Rob- ert S. Wilson, President of the Board of Trustees, speaking briefly of the plans for the Academy's future. Already several campus layouts have been presented, one of which is illustrated on this page. Although this meeting is of great importance to the program, it is primarily for the purpose of explaining the plans of the Campaign Committee. Also attending the meeting will be members of the Board of Trustees and the committee chairmen. This official opening of the 351,000,000 campaign for the parents and alumni wili not be a high pressure rally, and there will be no solicitation. Its sole purpose is for outlining the campaign.

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.

Reardon Discipline and Character A visitor of late to the Western Reserve campus might be surprised at seeing a number of young fellows walking about the school grounds carrying bundles of bricks. What can be the object in that? he might to be pre- paring its boys for a career in bricklaying or hod-carrying. Amusing as it might seem looker, the task of carrying a heavy load of bricks from one building to another for a period of two or more weeks is hardly an enjoyable duty for the fellows who must carry them. And it is true that these poor unfortunates find no great pleasure in mak- ing beds and shining shoes for upperclass- men. It's no fun to be a valet and get no pay. E But that again is one of the regret- able states in which some of our newer boys find themselves-simply because of a little flaw in their character, ax wrong at- titude. They fail to recognize the sover- eignty of the upper class. By comparison with the pants-pressing, errand running, and beat-walking of mili- tary school these penalties are mild-hence, not too objectionable. Moreover, such pun- ishments can easily be avoided. If the freshman will learn to do as he is asked- provided the request is reasonable-and will do so without comment or argument, he will run little risk of exposing him- self to unpleasant disciplinary measures. And it may be true that these measures serve a constructive purpose. -They teach the newcomer that he must have respect for persons older than himself, those who might possibly know a little more about school life than he. It teaches him to use restraint, to be courteous, not to talk back. Having learned to regard senior classmen with deference and tact, he will be that much better prepared to handle difficult problems and people in later life. Character is built of things more intan- gible than bricks, though brick-carrying may help to build it. inquire.

AQ here was the site of - M T the best school West of the Alleghany Mountains, Western Re- serve Academy. Connected with the school is a legend that has been passed from generation to generation. It is the story of a student at that institution named Tom, and his girl named Lucky. It seems that way back in 1945 Tom met Lucky and at once they fell in love with each other. But Tom was at a disadvan- tage because he attended Western Reserve Academy and was unable to see her often enough. Many sleepless nights were spent longing for her companionship. However, Tom was not doing too well in his activi- ties and therefore was detained on the campus. He could no longer endure this separation. Therefore, as the only possible resort, Tom decided to be expelled from the student body by acquiring huge numbers of tenths. A very bright individual, Tom arose at 7:13 and, being a senior, he persuaded a freshman to French his bed. Arrving at breakfast in time to receive two lateness tenths, he got a pot of hot coffee which he poured down his favorite master's back. After breakfasting he returned to the dorm and short circuited all the electrical outlets. He arrived at chapel at 8:17 and finding chapel in session, he lowered himself from the balcony with a rope, while playing Humoresque on his Jew's harp. Later Tom meditated on the merits of going to his first period class. He decided to go, for after all wasn't his old man pay- ing for it? He climbed the fire escape and pounded on the back door of the business oflice, where he found a fellow student placing a bet with Race Horse Charlie on the outcome of the third at Ascot Park. At once Tom was told to leave by Albert, the auditor. He heard the bell for his sec- ond period class ring. Five minutes later he skipped into his English class, D. D. T. in hand. You've earned yourself a tenth! shout- ed his teacher. Is that all? replied Tom who then walked out disgusted. The next morning Tom found a note in his' box urging hint to report to the dean. The dean told him that since he realized Tom's difficulties, all of Tom's hard earned tenths would be excused.

S. However, the high spot of the day was the superb exhibition of football skill and agility as demonstrated by Reserve's football team of 1960 ijust in. time to reap the profits of the Million Dollar Project J. The play of these mighty midgets, as narrated by Lucky Divoll, drew a big hand from the audience. Lucky attempted to draw Harrison, Anderson, and Bannon into the game as ringers in order to Win a gentlemen's bet with his asso- ciate. However, the attempt was foiled, and Divoll was last seen heading toward Cleveland. fThey love him there.J Second in importance to this momentous occasion was the appearance of several types of lists. There is, of course, Herr Kitzmiller's magic list of a one way ticket to Pearl Diving Heaven. Then there are the lists of numerous prefects Qthat's prefects, sonny, not perfectsj upon which are inscribed the names of those mis- erable offenders of Reserve's Golden Rule who did unto others as they definitely would not wish others to do unto them.
