Cleveland' gel Red. ...SERVE REQ.Q!3Q Robert S. Wilson, Capt. George Manlove, James Powers Speak at 'Kick-Oli' Meeting, Saturday Reserve's 125th Anniversary and Memor- ial Campaign was inaugurated last Sat- urday evening at a meeting in the chapel, preceded by a dinner to which the parents of every boy in the school were invited. The delicious turkey dinner, attended by about 450 boys and parents, enhanced by the flickering light of candles and served by students in white coats, was the first of its sort since before the war and was enthu- siastically received by everyone attending. The meeting in the chapel which followed the dinner was quite appropriately opened with America, following which the Glee Club gave a short concert of sacred num- bers, closing with the Alma Mater. Mr. Robert S. Wilson, president of the school's Board of Trustees, was the first speaker. He outlined for us six require- ments for a good preparatory school: an outstanding headmaster, an able and de- voted faculty, students who range in the top third capacity level, a good tradition, an endowment, and a complete physical plant. Mr. Wilson felt that the first five Reserve very definitely possesses but that in the sixth, a complete physical plant, we have room for improvement. He con- cluded by explaining the plans for the pro- posed buildings. The second speaker of the evening was Captain George Manlove of the field ar- tillery and a member of the class of 1932. He praised the school for remaining small and thus preserving the personal relations between masters and boys, for remaining democratic, for maintaining an ideal bal- ance between scholarship and athletics, and for remaining non-military throughout the war years. Captain Manlove emphasized the importance an alumnus' prep-school days mean to him, especially how much they meant to the alumni on the battle- fronts of the world, and declared that it was gratifying to find upon coming back a building program in full swing. Mr. James H. Powers, Foreign Editor of the Boston Globe, was the meeting's prin- cipal speaker. His challenging address was warmly received and enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Powers pointed out to us that in our country today confusion and fear are widespread. The United States has within t'he past six years become the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the world. Our army and our navy are invinci- ble. The difiiculty lies in the fact that we do not know what to do with our newly acquired power. We need wise, well-rounded leaders to guide our nation in leading the world. The country cannot rely on science and industry alone. What counts is not the external things but those values to- ward which the people aspire. Mr. Powers placed the responsibility of meeting this challenge on the nation's edu- cational system. This school, he de- clared, is a dynamo out of which pour the leaders of tomorrow. The only way for Reserve to maintain prestige is to enhance its former glory. One of the best ways to do this is to expand our facilities toward producing the leaders of tomorrow. The speaker further emphasized the need for restoring education to the mastery of its own household . In the age to come we shall need to reduce the emphasis upon sci- ence and place our approval upon the guid- ance and direction of a liberal education. Reserve is working towards that balance in education which this country needs, Mr. Powers concluded.

The concert will be given at the Cleveland meeting of the 125th Anniversary and Memorial Cam- paign, at which Mr. Robert S. Wilson, president of the Board of Trustees, and Mr. Lewis B. Williams, chairman of the campaign committee, will be the speakers. This meeting, as did the one in Akron, will include dinner for the Glee Club at seven o'clock. Headmaster Improving News of the Headmaster's condition gives reason for moderate encourage- ment. Since the beginning of his ill- ness, Dr. Hayden's physicians have reported steady though slow progress.

Page 28 R E S E R V E RE C O R D October 25, 1945 Reserve Takes Two ln ter tate Games Tebmen Beat Cranbrook In Second Half Rally Last Saturday the Tebmen exploded a winning offense against an uncommonly weak Cranbrook eleven to roll up a vic- torious 27-0 score. The green clad squad executed its quick opening T formation plays with such precision that the De- troiters couldn't detect the location of the ball until it was too late. Many times Re- serve's halfbacks broke into the opposition's secondary so fast that the enemy backers- up had no chance to stop the advance. Choosing to defend the south goal, Re- serve kicked off to Cranbrook, who returned the leather to about their own forty. After three fruitless attempts to End openings in the Pioneer forward wall, the visitors punted to Dave Nicholson, who took the ball back to Reserve's thirty-five. From there the home team determinedly marched in a series of well executed plays to the Blue and White's three-yard line, where Jim Roush, Reserve's battling left half- back, took the ball over into the stripes for the team's first score. His attempted con- version failed. The second stanza passed without score although left halfback Denis Sullivan broke loose for a beautiful sixty-yard run to the end zone, a ,play which was called back on account of a penalty against Reserve. But Sully wasn't to be stopped yet. In the early part of the third period when the Green and White had placed the pigskin on the enemy six-yard line, he took the ball on an off-tackle smash behind beautiful blocking and darted across the goal line standing. The point was run over, making the score 13-0. Almost immediately after the next kickoff a Reserve backfield man intercepted a Cranbrook pass. Two plays later Sully took the ball on a slant play, broke loose and romped sixty yards for an- other Reserve touchdown. Roush again ran the extra point over. Teb then sent the second string into the game and they held Cranbrook during the time they played. Throughout the fourth quarter the tired team slowed up a little until our red hot halfback, Sullivan, took a punt on his own thirty-five and raced around the whole Cranbrook squad with the aid of superior blocking for another score, his third of the afternoon. When the extra point went over, the score stood 27-0 in favor of Re- serve, and the final gun found the score still the same. W. R. A.-27 Position Cranbrook-0 Howard ............ . . .L.

K , - Soccermen Roll Over U. S. Booters for Second Kennedy, Newly Elected Captain, leads His Team to Victory' For the third time in the last three weeks Malcolm Kennedy started the Reserve soc- cer team on a winning run when they played University School last Saturday. After scarcely five minutes of play the Green and White forwards got the ball into position and Kennedy worked a shot around the U. S. goalie. Nevertheless, the first pe- riod scoring session was not over yet as it didn't take long for the Maroon and Black foes to even up the score. They scored when the ball which goalie Hartsock had kicked bounced off one of the advancing U. S. forwards and shot into the goal . Then began a long struggle to work the ball into scoring position. The Reserve for- wards, Pierce and Garrigan on the wings, Critchiield, Nichols, Marton and Russell all trading of at the inside spots, and finally Kennedy at center, all seemed to be able to work their way into the opponents' de- fense zone but were unable to tally on their shots. The U. S. booters also gave Re- serve several threats but none came through. Thus the game went on till Re- serve got a corner kick. The kick was well done and Kennedy again got his foot on the ball to score for the Green and White. The third stanza went without any further score for either team. Reservefs one point lead was not enough to allow them to slow up their play so they fought even harder in the last quar- ter. U. S. was determined to even up the score again and they, too, were putting all'they had into the fight. In spite of all their efforts, however, Reserve held them to .their own end of the tield and thus came off the field the victors in the first soccer tangle with University School. And as ,he has in all the previous soccer games, Mal Kennedy held the scoring spotlight. He has scored all Reserve points through- out the season.

Reardon Alma Mater Every Reservite after he leaves the con- fines of the campus feels the sorrow that inevitably arises from separation from fa- miliar and fond associations. This has been crystal clear to anyone who has read letters from boys in the service, from con- versations with the alumni who return after an absence of some years and wish their v'isits could be much more frequent, and from the replies that have already be- gun to come in as a response to the appeal for memorial buildings. This loyalty of her sons for Reserve is an ever present reality. New boys soon sense the lasting devotion which many genera- tions have fostered on this campus. It is a matter of sound insight that long years ago some clear thinker thought Of his school as Alma Mater-Tender Mother. For it is from her after all that we absorb those noble purposes and ideals of manhood which stamp us with maturity. This spiritual development is the debt that the thankful student knows that he can never repay. In the rec0gniti0Y1 of his obligation lies perhaps the great hope of human progress, for to those boys who have caught the selfless spirit of Reserve, life can never again be purely acquisitive nor narrowly selfish. One of the best ways, we believe, to re- mind ourselves of this consideration which our school has for each of us is to sing more frequently for her and primarily to her. Why do we not practice the conduct of so many schools where after every var- sity function the boys rise and sing their Alma Mater? We feel that in so doing we should show our devotion to her who richly deserves it. Let us hope that the ideals for which Reserve has staunchly stood for almost a century and a quarter may find an ever greater place in the hearts of men. Let us remind ourselves by singing frequently the words of our Alma Mater: Oh, long may time these things preserve Around thy walls, dear Old Reserve.

The word originating in Vermont, from which. it was undoubtedly carried to this region by a vagabond of one sort or another, has a soft, delicate mean- ing which becomes evident with its utter- ance. When your table head asks you if you want seconds, you gaze deeply into his eyes and, after indicating much deep thought on the situation, you reply-slowly in order to round out every syllable- Na-aa. As I said, the word has caught on. All over the campus you hear: Is this a first class production? Na-aa! Do we dine' like kings? Na-aa! Take out a sheet of paper. Na-aa! Stand up! Na-aa! Sit down! Na-aa! ll'Yes?!! Na-aa! And so on into the night. However, the exclamatory method of pro- nouncing is not always used. Overheard during intermission at the last dance was ft sweet feminine voice pleading, Please kiss me. In a self-conscious quivering tone came the answer, Na-aa. Yes, it's all you hear on the campus, and it presents its problems too. Songs will have to be rewritten fi. e. Please Don't Say Na-aa. J Ah, I can see it all now. The guest speaker from Pimento University-good old P. U.-mounts the rostrum, looks out over the multitude of silent unintelligent faces and says in a voice acquired from years of addressing similar audiences: Will Ober- lin beat Reserve? Na-aa! answers the multitude with such force that the speaker is hurled against the organ. Are they right? Will Reserve's team, with two consecutive victories under their belts, upset their mighty foe? Tune in next Saturday for the next thrilling episode. ' B. H. W.
