He is quite worthy and deserving of the honor of Valedictorian. Dwight possesses not only scholastic ability but athletic prowess and musical talent as well. He took part in many outside activities which helped to make him a wellfrounded boy. Dwight, we sincerely congratulate you on your achievements in high school. The honor of Salutatorian is shared by Charles Howe and Robert Needham. The averages of the two boys for the four years are nearly the same. Both Charles and Robert have been good students and both deserve the honor. Although both have placed scholarship first in their school lives, they have entered different activities. Charles has taken part in athletics while Robert has received outstanding recog- nition in music. Charles and Robert, we congratulate you on your high scholastic attainment.

Due to inf experience and poor playing conditions, however, we were seldom able to gain the laurels of victory. To be a good loser, as well as a good winner, is part of the game. We appreciate the honest effort and tireless devotion Coach Barr has given his teams, We hope that we shall prove ourselves to be good winners next year, just as we have shown sportsmanship in being good losers this past year. Coach Barr has had the generous and profitable aid of Mr. Harland Shane, the assistant coach, who also was employed this year on the teaching staff. Mr. Shane has worked hard with the reserve team in basketball and, as a result, they were able to win many victories, Mr. Shane helped Mr. Barr drill the fundamentals of football into the inexperienced scrubs. We hope that his loyal service to the athletic departf ment will continue. FNB FUUTBALL COLUMBUS CENTRAL ,On Friday night, September eighteenth, the Westerville Wildczits journeyed to the Pirates' hideout. The game was our first encounter with real opposition. Al- though most of our hoys were inexperienced, they showed much determination and pep. Even though the game ended 6 to O in favor of Central, our boys felt that they were not entirely defeated and had gained valuable experience. UPPER ARLHNGTON Our second game took place in the den of the Golden Bears of Upper Arlington. This was the first game on their new athletic field. They boasted an experienced and veteran team. The weight of the Golden Bears helped them to crush the light and green Wildcats. In this game Westerville was able to push over their first score, although they lost to the Golden Bears 46 to 6. MARYSVILLE Our Central Buckeye League season opened at Marysville, October 2. The first half of our scrap with the Tigers was nip and tuck with neither team gaining much of an advantage over the other. However. in the second half the Tigers bared their fangs and scored on the Wildcats several times with the result of the score, 32 to 6, in favor of Marysville. 7 CIRCLEVILLE Un the afternoon of October 9, we went south for a visit with the Round' towners. Due to the very saturated condition of the field, both teams were retarded in their efforts to gain ground. Time and again the Wildcats forced their way deep into the territory of the Roundftowners, only to be held for downs or to fumble the ball. Our boys, although they had the best of the going, were unable to score and the game ended in a scoreless tie. GRANDVIEW Our first home game was played against a strong and powerful Grandview team. Qur boys were outfplayed and outclassed by their gridiron machine, but ,they weren't outfought. Because of their fighting spirit, they were able to score against Grandview. This one touchdown was the only score made against the Central Buckeye League champions all season. The final score was 40 to 6 in favor of the Bobcats. BEXLEY The Bexley Lions were our next guests. This game marked the first victory for our Wildcats, who showed their teeth and slowed up the Lions plenty. Although our boys were the underdogs of the game, they didn't seem to mind. They fought hard and showed some superb, as well as spectacular, football which brought the game to a close with the score, 6 to O, in our favor. COLUMBUS NORTH The Wildcats journeyed to Columbus North where they battled the Polar Bears in another night game. Although North won by a score of 19 to 6, the game was a hard fought affair. The North eleven could not gain much ground by running from scrimmage. They then turned to the passing game which caught the Wildcats off their guard and consequently won the game for the Polar Bears. However, our boys showed a decided improvement over previous performance. GRANVILLE Since the Wildcats had an open date in their league schedule, they secured Granville for an opponent. Although the team cleared the field of snow, it was extremely sloppy for the game. This game was featured by a continuous snowball fight among the spectators. Granville, with the aid of the Goddess of Luck and a fighting spirit, was able to push over the only score of the game, ending 7 to 0 in their favor. D E L A W A R E Our last game of the year was against Delaware Willis. Since this was Home- coming, there was a large crowd at the game. In appreciation of the crowd, and the fact that they wanted to keep the Key , the Wildcats fought hard and held a much heavier and much more experienced team to a O to O score. This was the last game for the following seniors: Howe, Elliott, Weisenstein, Wilsoii, Mann, Fuller, Robert' son, and Glover. LETTERMEN Center McLeod End .

The intrafmural basketball games were even accompanied with a small enthusiastic group of spectators. The championship of the basketball games was won by the Junior Class. The juniors won six out of seven games while the Seniors were runner ups with five victories out of seven games. An extra game was played to change the tie between the junior and Senior classes. The Junior team was composed of Grabill and Clawson at forwards, Morgan and Zimmerman at guard, Meyers at center, with Roshon, Hulse, Karg, and Altman as substitutes. The team was coached by Mr. Boggs. James Grabill of the juniors was high point man with a score of 47 points. Captain Zimmerman of the juniors and Moody of the Freshmen tied for second place in making points with a score of 31 points. The Juniors had the highest point record of all the classes. They scored 149 points in seven games. This spring, the boys are having intra-mural volley ball and baseball. TENNIS AND GOLF Since these are spring sports little can be said about them. Teams are to be picked for both sports and both teams will compete against other schools. Mr. Bancroft is to be the tennis coach while Mr. Shane is to guide the golf team. Alf though the teams are yet to be chosen, those out for tennis are: Green, Caris, Moody, Henry, and Spessard, and those out for golf are: Green, Henry, Grabill, Robertson, and McCreight. TRACK 37 The 1937 Track season looks like a good one. Many veterans are returning from the last year's championship team. Those returning are: Capt, A. jones, N. Mann, C. Mann, C. Fuller, C.

Although North had a veteran team hack this year, they were given a good iight hy our hcys, Spessard and Cornell played well for the Wildczits. In thc second half, Westerville outscored the Polar Bears by playing a superior game of hall. The linal score was 24 to 17 in favor of North. In the preliminary game, the Reserves were defeated 20 to 9. SUNBURY Ray Schick brought his Sunbury boys to play here with the local cagers, Decernf her 12. All the members of the first ten were given a chance to play and show what they could do in this game, by Coach Barr. This was merely a practice game, and we had no difliculty in winning it lwy a score of 37 to 19. The Reserves were also victorious with their game ending 24 to 16. ALUMNI The pick of the Alumni came back December 17th to teach the Varsity a few tricks of the game. However, the old grads got a surprise when Caris got hot and starred with 21 points, thus proving too much for them. The varsity won the wild game by a score of 41 to 38. The Reserves and the Class of 37 played to' gether with the Reserves coming out on top. COLUMBUS EAST Here we go traveling again! This time it is to the lair of the Columbus East Tigers. The ferocious felines with the stripes, since they were much larger and stronger, staved oil' an invasion of their home. The Wildcats limped home with fur in their mouths but with no meat, for the score was 33 to 18 in favor of East. The Reserves bit hard but the meat was too tough, and they lost '24 to 20. MARYSVILLE Our first league game was played at home. The invading forces were the Central Buckeye League champions, Marysville. We fought hard and got many opportunities to shoot but couldn't hit the basketg consequently we trailed at the end of the game 16 to 32. The Reserves won 17 to 17 in a good game. The Reserves are beginning to show their stuff.

Due to inability to make our free throws we lost a hard fought battle to the Bexley Lions. It was nip and tuck through' out the game but it ended 20 to 16 in favor of Bexley. The local Reserves lost by one point 18 to 17. UPPER ARLINGTCHQ We turn again to playing host! Those boys from Upper Arlington seem to have the upper hand to look at their height. Yes, they do have the upper hand. Both teams played a good game, but Upper Arlington finished strong and won by a score of Si to 26. Hurrah! Our Reserves redeemed themselves by obtaining another vicf tory of 21 to 10. CIRCLEVILLE Boy, do the seats of that bus get hard! And we had to make a detour on account of the flood waters of the Scioto. Qur boys didn't seem to get klicking until the last quarter when Fuller and Spessard gave the distress signal which brought the desired results. Spessard starred with 16 points, helping to win the game by a score of 26 to 15. The Reserves were up to power again and won their game, 23 to S. Uh, Boy, did we get a feed for once on the house QR. S. jj! DELAWARE Do you like exciting games? Well, if you do, you should have seen the game at Delaware, January 23. It was a thriller! With but a few seconds to go Jones scored a field goal to tie the score at 22 all. In the overtime period Spessard came through with the basket necessary for victory. The final score was 26 to 24. The Reserves received a setback to the tune of 23 to 10. CSRANDVIEW' As tradition holds, we lost again to the Grandview Bobcats on the latter's floor. The tongues of the Wildcats seemed to lag as they covered the long floor in an effort to stop the opponents. If breaks will win basketball games, Grandview was entitled to the victory, for our share was very minor. The Wildcats returned in the second half with a fierce comeback but were too far behind to overtake the lead, held by the Grandview basketeers. As the nnal gun shot ended the game, the score stood 22 to 12. Our Reserves won a wellfearned victory over the Bobcat Reserves. The score was 16 to 12 GRANVILLE Granville, our nonfleague rival, was our host on January 30. Granville happened to be the Class B District champions. Some express their thought in words to the effect that the game would have been much more interesting had there been an oflicial. However, opinions do differ. The result of the game was the score of 32 to 25 in favor of Granville. There was no preliminary game. MARYSVILLE We started the second round of the league games at Marysville. There is not much to say when we are beaten by a superior team. But more power to Marysville. Qlncidentally Robertson tempted our players by showing them crackersj The game ended in a score of 29 to 17. Here is good news ffresh off the presslj. The Reserves won their game, 29 to 6. Our Reserves are certainly looking ine. UPPER ARLINGTON Here we are looking up into the faces of these Upper Arlington boys again. They again showed their superiority in defeating our cagers by a score of 32 to 21. Andy jones played well for our team, but it takes more than one to win a game. The Reserves were defeated 22 to 13. Yes, and just after we started praising them. BEXLEY We played host to the Bexley Lions at the Otterbein Gymnasium floor. We lost a hard fought game to our opponents. Our boys worked hard but were unable to overtake the lead which Bexley possessed. The game ended in favor of Bexley, 27 to 22. However, our Reserves got revenge for their setback which they received from Bexley earlier in the season by scoring a one-sided victory, 26 to S. At this game there was a great crowd for the Waterloo Wonders played the Westerville AllfStars after the Varsity game. Incidentally Waterloo won while enjoying themselves. CIRCLEVILLE Once upon a time, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirtyfseven, on the night of February the nineteenth the Wildcats declared themselves free from foreign domination. Cn this momentous date the Wildcats ran wild and showed their true form. Coach Barr put in the substitutes, and still the Wildcats kept up the pace with the Roundftowners slipping in but a few baskets. Every snarling Wildcat was able to score on the Roundftowners. Fuller and Spessard led the atf tack. They scored 31 points between them. And so we won a smashing victory over the Gircleville boys, 59 to 19. The Varsity were not the only ones to be victorious, however, for the Reserves won their game by the score of 21 to 16. lfll'1llil'llllll lfl SEARCHLIGHT Published Annually by Senior Class of Westerville High School Westerville, Ohio 'ff-fv.-.Y ,s . r.. v, ,jf l .,P'U-..

The Bobcats again defeated the Wildcats. This time they won the game by a 22 to 12 score. Our fellows just couldn't get going. The Reserves also lost. Their score was 17 to 14. Their last minute rally fell short of winning by a few points. DELAWARE Girls screamed! Boys yelled! Hearts beat faster! Throats became rawer! In short, my friends, it was the Delaware game. Both teams fought hard and fast. Crack! The gun! But the teams were at a deadlock. In an overtime period it was a matter of who would get the breaks. To our sorrow and bitter disappointment, Delaware won the game 40 to 37. Yes, even, the Reserves lost a thriller too, 24 to 25. This was the last league and home game for the following boys: Spessard, Jones, Elliott, Parsons, and Fuller. TOURNAMENT How could we atford to win this game when tradition says that we are supposed to lose? We drew Columbus Aquinas to donate a victory to them. Both teams were going hard in the game, when what should happen to make more certain the victory for Aquinas than that Jerry Fuller had his shoulder yanked out of place? The crowd gave Fuller proper recognition but to get back to the actual playing, al' though Aguinas led at the half, we came back strong in the last half to force them to their utmost to win a 37 to 30 victory. X 7 X X X ff M Y zo: MX X X XA, 3 A ZA FEATURES deaf-1 History of the Class of I937 On the morning of September 7, 1927, there was more activity than usual in the Port of Westerville. The Ship of 37 was making ready for its first voyage, colors at top mast and decks scrubbed clean. This first voyage was to be under the capf taincy of Davis and Heil. Thus the voyage was started. For nine months the ship explored the Sea of Education and bravely adventured into new ports and when, at the end cf the next year it reached the home port, the colors were still at top mast, and all members of the crew were given three months shore leave. The bells clangedg the captains shouted k'All Hands on Deck , the crew assembled. lt was September 2, 1926. The Ship of B7 was again ready to set sail. This time it was under the command of Captains Meeker and Krieder. New continents and islands were discovered and the small ship again reached the home port after nine months of smooth sailing. For the next two years, fair weather prevailed. For the first of these two years Captains Woods and Smith set our course. And the year following we were guided by Captains Clapham and James. During our fifth voyage on the Sea of Education we encountered our Hrst storm. The sky became overcast, and the waves beat high against the sides of the ship. After this first fatal storm the flag was put at halffmast, for we had lost one bf our most gallant seamen, james Robert Caris, whose memory will remain with us forever. Although this was a voyage filled with disaster, our capable leaders, Epler and Jackson, guided us safely back home. After four and a half months of our sixth voyage, our crew became so large that it was necessary to transfer part of them to another fleet. Vx7e christened this new ship Longfellow, Our captains for the first half of our sixth voyage were Schwartz and Burtner. When the new fleet was ready to set sail, Captain Burtner was assigned to the position of admiral, because of her experience. Captain Moses then returned to help command the Ship of 37. After six years of sailing on our small but faithful ships, we were ordered to set sail in the fleet of Westerville High. This fleet was much larger, and we found our daily routine more difficult. Cur first captains were Love and Sprecher. Under their supervision we learned better how to steer our course on the Sea of Life. Also this year most of us lent our lusty voices to the Glee Clubs. And so ended our seventh year of new adventures in the scholastic navy. When Captains Harley and Sprecher issued the call All Hands on Deck, every one reported again for duty. On this voyage many of us became acquainted with a long dead language, Latin, which was our first foreign foe. A few injuries were suffered but none very serious. On our ninth voyage things really began to happen, and we started to take active part in the manoeuvers of the fleet. Many of the fellows went out for football, and both boys and girls took part in the scholarships. It was on this voyage also that we found it necessary to have an executive body to handle our business. Those chosen were: President, Rita Kohlheppg Vice President, Dick Robertson, Secretary'Treasurer, Jean McCloy. Through the guidance of our faithful leaders, Sprecher and Harley, we returnedvto port safely. The tenth voyage began. Ben Glover was chosen President, Vivian Mattox, Vice President, Robert Needham, SecretaryfTreasurer. The Ship of 37 held a masquerade party at Hallowe'en. The feminine members of the crew joined the Girl Reserves. These great adventures were under the captaincy of Shelley and Barnett. The voyage was climaxed by a shore leave with a picnic at Trees. After ten long years of fighting the sea, the honor of being called juniors was bestowed upon us. The boys joined the HifY. This year, since we were to follow the old traditions, we entertained the Seniors of our fleet on two occasions. First we enter' tained them with a Halloween party, then by one grand time at the JuniorfSenior Banquet. This year our executive body was composed of President, Spesardg Vicef President, Robertson, Secretary and Treasurer, Hazel McCrary. Our gallant captains were Dixon and Clary. Feeling the dramatic urge, we produced the play Polishing Papa under the direction of Captain Shelley, with the leading role being taken by Howard Elliott. So ended another thrilling adventure at sea. At last we have obtained the highest point of a sea-going career. Seniors! This year we had the honor of choosing a queen, Irene Glaze, to reign over the Home' coming activities. This Homecoming was the first to be celebrated by a dance. We were entertained by a banquet given to us by the Juniors. The Crew officers this year were: President, Dick Robertson, Vice President, Bob Needham, Secretary and Treasurer, Ben Glover. The Senior play, A Stranger Passes, was given with success in the ship chapel. Our last voyage of the Ship of 37 was ended by the graduation exercises. Thus after twelve years of sailing on the Sea of Education we received our diplomas and embarked once again on a voyage, this time on the Sea of Life.

The class of '37 will be remembered in the future, both for our choice of queen and for the introduction of the Homecoming dance. Everyone agrees that it was a redfletter day in history. 4fThe juniors had a tremendous brainfstorm, and the result was our first festival. Oh, but those deflicious, de-lightful, de-lovely banquet dinners are be' ginning to tempt us already! 5-Our lirst basketball game of the season was staged at North.

Those Easterners were quite successful in hiding the basket from us, but they can't say we can't take it. 8fMarysville was our honored guest tonight at a rather onefsided affair played in the gym. Not a person can doubt that our boys fight as hard as any of their winning opponents, but we do know that Marysville has that game of basketball too well in hand. l'ifPicture show in chapclfNow it's a question of Seniors vs. the seventh' graders. In which section was there more nail biting, hair pulling, etc., when thc hero was about to get bumped off? 15-At least we gave Bexley a scare that they won't get over for a while. Perf haps if the game had lasted three minutes longer, the outcome would have pleased us better. 16-Game with Upper Arlington at home. We came, we saw, and we were conquered, but it was simply a case of being GRAFfted out. 23--The dawn of a new ERA! In spite of the weather conditions, a bus load of fans journeyed to Delaware where they witnessed a mighty spectacle-the Westerville quintet collecting their first basketball victory. 26fBetter late than never. The game at Circleville had been postponed because of the flood, but even a flood couldn't keep us from winning when we finally got there. 26-What wellfknown junior boy has reached the point where he comes to regisf tration clad in the latest thing in Parisian Frocks? Yes, they do say that skirts are getting shorter. but of course we couldn't all look as attractive as you do in them. Tell us, did your knees get chilly, Pete? 29-Tigers and lions made themselves prominent in the movie in chapel this morning, and since it must have been a day for wild animals, the Bob Cats from Grandview stole the show at our game tonight. If only Clyde Beatty could have had a hand in taming down such tricks as they had! 30-Game at Granville with the Class B Champs, and from the looks of the score, they showed us that their name has a real meaning to it. Cr maybe it would help if we just knew how to handle our friends, the referees. 6gThe crowd was rather puzzled because we played Upper Arlington in Grand- view's gym. From our own personal observations, the Westerville team was in the same fix as the spectators, for again we were obliged to come home with the short end of the rope. 9- Anyone finding a F. F. A. pin, will please return it to Margaret Scott. Well, Margaret, when did you decide to become a farmerette? 12-Westerville and Bexley put on a grand show in the Otterbein gym, but Bexley seemed to give the crowds a more winning performance. Once more we went on our way admitting a bitter defeat. DEDIEATIUN .lust our words of thanks to Mr. Bancroft are not nearly enough to to express the deep gratitude of the High School pupils for his sound advice and plezisaint attitude toward the entire student hody. Although this is only his first yczlr in Weste1'ville High, he has found his way into the hearts of all students with his good humor, helpful- ness, and tireless devotion to the welfare of the school. We, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirtyfseven, dedicate this volume of the Setii'cliliglit to MR. T. V. BANCROFT 49 Feb Feb Feb Feb 19fWe were hosts to Circleville and mighty proud of it too. Can you guess why? Well, let us surprise you with the grandest words ever uttered: We Won The Came! 27fChills and thrills galore! Who could have believed that Robert Norris's face would be enough to make little children and not so little Children afraid of the dark? Maybe we'd better explainfRobert Norris was the villian in the Junior Class play, one of an exceptionally fine class. Don't tell them, but itls being rumored that the play was a howling success! 26ffWe've come to the conclusion that our only fault is lacking a few points when the final gun is heard. Tonight, we were evenly matched with Grandviewg but since someone had to lose, we took defeat as our portion. 27.-The end of the season came, and there we were left weak and exhausted after such an exhibition as Delaware and Westerville gave us. Luck couldn't seem to End the boys in Red and White so Willis went home with their colors riding high. March 1-The HifY and Girl Reserves really went wild and showed everyone what a gala occasion can be! With so many parties going on, our school can cerf tainly come to no good. Thats the impression we get from the whispers floating around. March 9ffCnly a very select crowd was present at the Annual staff party, but those who were not on hand had their regrets when they heard about the fun. Our amateur contest, had, as a few of its highlights, Margaret Pinney's hogfcalling and the similar feats of Dick Drake and Pete Zimmerman. Oh, yes you heard them? Well, who in town didn't?

THE HIGH SCHOCL WRITERS' CLUB This club was organized in the spring of 1936 by juniors and Seniors who were interested in the continuation of the interest created by the literature class in com- positions of both prose and poetry. The enthusiasm of the organization of this club was promoted by Miss Shelly, who is their adviser and has contributed much to the interest of the club members. The charter members of the club are: Ethel Miller, Abe Landis, Mary Louise Myers, Harry Hance, Doris Loar, and Willard Brown, who formulated the constitution and duly established this club in Westerville High School. The club is now composed of twelve members. The present officers are: Doris Loar, Presidentg Mary Louise Myers, Vice President, Abe Landis, Secretary, Bill Brown, Librariang Harry Hance, Chairman of Affairs, Ashby Tussey, Entertainment Chairmang Robert McClarren, Program Chairman. THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized for the first time at the beginning of this school year. It is under the able direction and instruction of Miss Nelle Mills, who has had much experience in the directing of plays, as well as actual participation in theatricals. The club is composed of students from the three classes of the junior High School and has a membership of twentyfsix. The oificers are as follows: President, jim Sanders: Secretary, ,lim Bercawg Treasurer, Virginia Bagley. The interests of the club have been centered around a creative type of dramatics starting with original pantomimes. From these was found the need for the study of stage technique which applied not only to the actor on the stage but the stage setting as well. Then came original playlets necessitating voice study. To inspire the group and to show them what really can be done on the stage in a truly artistic way, the club has had the opportunity to observe the productions of the New York Childrens Theatre at Memorial Hall in the following plays: Pinocchio, Little Womeii, Toby Tyler, Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. BAND The band is composed this year of twenty-nine musicians. Since the brass is predominant, the band is well suited for marching and playing at such events as football and basketball games. This organization is one of the two in which instruf mental music is required. After football and basketball season closed, the band turned to concert numbers. The band gave its annual concert jointly with the orchestra on April 30th. The officers this year are Robert Needham, President, Howard Altman, Manager, R. Elliott, Vice President. Other members of the official staif are H. Rich and Billy Elliott. The band has really made progress under its new and capable director, Mr. Richard B. Sherman. -. ORCHESTRA The orchestra has thirtyfone musicians in its roll. It is the other organization which furnishes instrumental music. The chief activities of the orchestra are playing for entertainments, such as plays and chapel programs. The orchestra gave its conf cert with the band and also assisted the Senior Glee Clubs in the production of King Nutcracker. The oiiicers are Lloyd Smith, President, jim Grabill, Manager, Don Mills, Vice President. The others on the official staH are Bob Morris and Ivan Innerst. The director of the orchestra is Mr. Sherman. STUDENT CCUNCIL In 1930, Westerville High School organized a Student Council for the purpose of promoting school spirit, making close contacts between teachers and students, and carrying out those things which were for the best interests of the student body. The membership is composed of representatives from the Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. Every year one member is chosen from each class so that in any given year the Student Council is made up of four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores, and one Freshman. Regular meetings were held on the first and third Wednesday evenings of each month. The Council has been very active this year and has promoted several prof jects which concerned the school as a whole. Among these should be mentioned the Homecoming celebration. The entire program was planned by the group and carried out efficiently for the pleasure of all the students. The sale of the traditional keys, the choosing of the queen, the game with Delaware, and the big party in the evening were the high points of a successful Homecoming celebration. Another event sponsored was Birch, the Magician. Profits from this show were set aside for some worthy cause. Song books for the entire student body were purchased by the Student Council. At appropriate times the use of these books has been responsible for more effective chapel programs. Another project of the Student Council was the election of cheer leaders. Many questions pertaining to the welfare of the school have been discussed throughout the year. It is the feeling of the Council that there should be more student participation at assembly programs. There is a strong possibility that next year the Council will set up an assembly calendar which will provide opportunities for individuals and groups within the school to demonstrate their creative ability before the student body. At the present time a plan for student monitors, who will have full responsibility for conduct in the halls, is being considered. The Student Council wishes to express its appreciation for the fine support that both the faculty and student body have given it in its endeavor to promote the welfare of Westerville High School. BOYS' GLEE CLUBS The junior and Senior Boys' Glee Clubs are organized to develop vocal talent. Boys in the Seventh. Eighth and Ninth grades are eligible for the former group. The latter group is composed of boys from the junior and Senior classes. Under the capable direction of Mr, Sherman both groups have made excellent progress this year. There is evidence of an increasing interest in singing, which, it is hoped, will result in a larger enrollment in both clubs next year. The Senior Club rendered a halffhour concert which preceded King Nutcracker the Senior Girls' operetta. The boys also sang one Sunday evening at the Methodist Church. The Senior Boys' quartette is made up of the following: Charles Howe, Dick Robertson, Howard Elliott, and Robert Needham. This group also sang for King Nutcracker and for Commencement. In cooperation with the junior Girls' Glee Club, the junior Club gave the operetta, entitled Tom Sawyer, which was based on Mark Twain's play. GIRLS' GLEE CLUBS The Senior Girls' Glee Club consists of members from the Sophomore, junior, and Senior classes. This organization, with the assistance of the orchestra, presented a musical fantasy in song and dance on Tschaikowsky's Nutcracker Suite. A septette of Senior girls: Vivian Mattox, Mary Louise Myers, Jean McCloy, Helen Cheek, Rita Kohlhepp, Mary Martin, and Irene Glaze, sang on several occasions throughout the year. In competition with the Senior Septette, the junior girls formed a septette: Irene Vsfilliamson, Ruth Smith, Eileen Krebs, Marian Foltz, Dorothy Whitney, Ruth Moore, and Rosalyn DeWitt. The junior Girls' Glee Club includes members from the Seventh to the Ninth Grades inclusively. The club with the assistance of the junior Boys' Glee Club, presented the operetta, Tom Sawyer, by Grant Schaefer. The officers for the club are: Jane Roberts, Presidentg Virginia Green, Librarian: Elma Venn, Secretary, and Margaret Cherrington, Pianist. THE HI-Y The HifY is the only organized boys' club in the High School that has a religious background The members do their best to stand for the purpose of the Hi-Y which is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. This year we have one of the best organized clubs in the history of Westerville I-IifY. New members from the Sophomore, junior, and Senior classes were voted into the I'IifY as a body, making an enrollment of about sixty members. Each year the HifY sends its next year's oiiicers to a training camp for ten days during the summer. There they make friends with Hi'Y oiiicers from clubs all over the state. The officers learn the ways in which other clubs conduct their meetings and outside activities. The leaders bring back new ideas and stir up more interest and life in our club. The officers this year are: Dwight Spessard, President, Jerry Fuller, Vice President, and Theodore Heischman, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Russell is the faculty adviser, and he was well liked among the boys for his good humor and helpful suggestions. The Hi'Y has helped to serve the community and school in two outstanding occasions this year. At Thanksgiving the I'IifY cooperated with the Girl Reserves in a very successful eifort to collect food for the needy. The HifY thanks the rest of the school for cooperation with them. During Lent the I'Ii'Y and Girl Reserves secured local ministers, Reverend Cross, Reverend Pratt, Reverend Rice, and Reverend Innerst, to give the school talks for chapel programs. The Hi-Y carries on each year several social activities. Early this year the I'IifY had a big feed along with games and songs to bring the new and old members closer together. In February the HifY and Girl Reserves had a big party together. This was one of the largest parties of the school year. Every one enjoyed the entertainment of ping pong, card games, dancing, and other games. At least once each year the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves hold a joint meeting. Throughout the year, different speakers from the community have given talks to the Hi-Y at their meetings. There has been a variety of talks which have made the meetings interesting. We feel that the Hi-Y has given a worthfwhile service to the school and community, as well as to its members. GIRL RESERVES This club is composed of Sophomore, junior, and Senior girls of the High School. Its purpose is: To create Christian ideals of work, play, and service and to strive to be all-round girls. This year the three-ring circus was used as our theme to represent the three sides of our triangle. Our first meeting was the annual Hay Ride, which all the girls enjoyed. This seemed to create a deeper friendship between the members, thus start' ing the year right. The membership, which reached the ninetyffive mark, boomed way above the usual number this year. The members in responding to the crises of fire and flood willingly contributed thirty dollars to help the flood sufferers. In cooperation with the HifY, the Girl Reserves collected an abundance of food which was distributed to the less fortunate of our town. At the Christmas season the girls provided Westerville families with staples. The service and finance departments sold candy at noons, as well as at games, and sponsored a picture show in order to obtain the necessary funds for various projects. The ringleaders for our circus this year were: ,lean McCloy, Presidentg Helen Pratt, Vice President, Mary Grabill, Secretary: Hazel McCrary, Treasurer, Mary Louise Iviyers, Program Chairman, Rita Kohlhepp, Social Chairman. ' Our advisers, Miss Barnett and Miss Shelley, have given generously of their time in order to further the success of the club.
