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.

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. Tom shuffled down the hall to his chemistry class, a mere Held in Rewtw Friday, October 26+Chapel, 8:05. Mr. Roundy speaks. Saturday, October 27-Football game with Chagrin Falls, here, 2:30.

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.

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.

Invita- tions have already been sent out by the Dads' Club to the parents of the boys. For the entertainment' of our guests in the afternoon there will be a football game here with Chagrin Falls. 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. All who can attend are invited. The Glee Club will sing at this gathering. On Wednesday, October 31, in Akron, there will be another meeting at the May- flower Hotel at which the Glee Club will sing again to entertain those present. At this meeting Mr. William E. Wickenden, president of Case School of Applied Sci- ence, will be the principal speaker. The Cleveland meeting will be held November 9.

October 25, 1945 RESERVE RECORD Page 27 Study Hall Prefects Chosen By the Executive Committee At the beginning of every school year the executive committee chooses certain boys from the senior class to take over the duties of study hall prefects. It is the duty of these boys to take charge of the study halls in the absence of a master or to help the master on duty conduct the study pe- riod. It is necessary for the prefect on duty to be able to take charge of the study period in the same manner as it would be conducted by the master. Those boys who were chosen for their leadership, loyalty and self-control to be the prefects are: Tom Allchin, Lee Hoe- finghoff, Bill Laub, Tom Divoll, George Vaught, John Schaie, Dave Hollinger, Dick Wright, and Frank Austen. Already the system is working out well this year, and the boys are doing a fine job in taking the place of many of the busy masters who are helping out in or- ganizing the school's financial campaign. ilaunnr Bull For the Grading Period Ending October 16, 1945 Robert F.

Hayes Since the new infirmary was built, the standard of medical care has been very high. When last spring Mrs. Gerig left to join her husband, who had returned from the army, her place was capably filled by Miss Helen Hayes, whose home is in Lakewood, Ohio. Born in Goshen, New York, Miss Hayes was soon taken to New York City. She has spent the last ten years in Lakewood. Nursing was Miss Hayes' chosen profes- sion. Her training was taken at the Brook- lyn Hospital Training School. After as- sisting a Cleveland doctor for some time, she returned East to take her post-graduate work at the Polyclinic Hospital and Medi- cal School. Here she studied clinical and operating-room work. For the last five years she has been working with a Cleve- land specialist. Miss Hayes hopes to find time at Re- serve to continue her hobby of needlework. Her skill at this allows her to present her projects as valued gifts. She finds her work here both interesting and enjoyable. An attractive nurse, Miss Hayes makes visits to the infirmary less arduous than they otherwise might seem. She has al- ready become acquainted with the boys' art of getting excused from athletics and with a wisdom gained from years of train- ing prevents their taking advantage of well Mounir Sa'adeh Arrives Tuesday morning Mr. Mounir Sa'adeh arrived on the campus. For the last few days he has been ac- quainting himself with the school and the faculty. Mr. Sa'adeh meets his first classes tomorrow, Friday. For 14 years Mr. Sa'adeh has been teaching at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon. He arrived in the United States earlier this week by airplane. Second Dance, November 35 Date Cards Must Be in Monday On November 3, a week from this Satur- day, there will be held in the Common Room of Cutler Hall the second of three dances in the fall term. As heretofore the nation's leading bands 'will furnish the music ably assisted by two of the brethren to be chosen from the stags. Date cards for this gala occasion must be in by the end of seventh period, October 29, while the stags are allowed two more days to decide whether they will favor the girls with their presence. The final hour for those who aren't dragging witches is seventh period on Hallowe'en, October 31. It might be well to note that the girls preferred the train as transportation to the last dance. The train from Cleveland leaves at 6:20 and arrives here at 6:45. This leaves three-quarters of an hour for a stroll around the acmpus before facing the strain of the reception line at 7:30. ' The ball will then proceed without delay until 11:00 only interrupted by a half-hour in- termission at 9:35. The returning train to Cleveland leaves at 11:25. The Akron train leaving at 6:30 arrives at 7:05, and the return trip leaves at 11:30. If there are any further questions con- cerning date cards or the dance itself, see Mr. Cleminshaw. ff ff if N .X p X , hit W J Vhlfxiiillil' flu l W l FA ' Q ll l' . Q is ,l l 5 y lg gil' will L...
