Page Four DEDICATION Contrary to tradition the Class ot '51 is making a dual dedication ot the 1951 yearbook, based upon the exceptional performance ot two comparatively new faculty members. We refer to Eugene Pierce, basketball coach, and to Paul R. Bowers, band director. Coach Pierce's achievement as a basketball mentor and a teacher distinguish him worthy ot the honor which we are conferring upon him. His uncanny insight into team personnel and ability to tutor them on the tech- nique ot the hardwood brought him considerable recognition last year-his tirst year ot coaching the Westerville bosketballers. Mr. Pierce is not the cold-blooded type ot coach so otten encountered. l'le has a warm personality that inspires the team to heights never reached by discipline alone. Westerville's seventy-tive piece marching band, its tricky tormations. and master- tul performances at the football games during the past three seasons retlect the ability of Paul Bowers, bandmaster supreme. Mr. Bowers has developed one of the tinest high school bands in the state. The halttime performances always resulted in exclama- tions of delight from Westerville and visiting fans alike. Band work under Mr. Bowers is not a monotonous routine but a constant source of achievement and satisfaction. lt is with sincere pleasure that we dedicate the 1951 Searchlight to Eugene Pierce and Paul Bowers-two faculty members who have won the respect and ad- miration of the entire student body. Seniors at '51 X Qiucea, immea- At . Mr. Morris-Our Superintendent For the past eight years Mr. M. Ray Morris has been the man who has assumed the many responsibilities that are involved in the superintendency of the Westerville school system. Mr. Morris has gained state-wide recognition for his fine work as a school leader and received dividends -on his reputation this past year. as he was elected president of the Ohio Association of School Administrators. l-lowever, he has not let this recog- nition atfect his administrative program as Westerville is always first on his schedule. Mr. Bancroft-Cur Principal T. V. Bancroft, high school principal, could well carry the name, Mr, Busy. ln addition to the endless worlc as principal, he serves as faculty adviser for the Searchlight, the Student Senate. and during the golf season enters the coaching field. Mr. Bancroft is one of the few principals who sympathize with the students. The many hours that he spends with students giving them advice and trying to guide them has proved beneficial as many WHS graduates give Mr. Bancroft credit for their success. lt is his mild, good-natured manner which makes him a favorite among all the students. Page Five Page Six MR. RALSTON-A SALUTE Westerville l-ligh School suttered a big loss in the early part ot this school year when Uncle Sam decided to make Joe Ralston a G. l. Joe. Mr. Ralston has been associated with the school system lor the past tive years. serving as Chemistry, Physics, and seventh grade Mathematics teacher. l'le had been a member ot the Naval Reserve since his discharge from the active Navy in World War lla Soon atter his arrival at Westerville he was nicknamed alter the famous break- tast toad Shredded Ralstons and called Shreddy. Shreddy was always ready for a good laugh. ln the classroom he always found time to kid with the students. The Class ot '51 wishes to salute Lt. J. A. Ralston who is now aboard the USS Gainard serving his country. Yes, Mr. Ralston, we've missed you in these Few months that you've been gone, and we do hope that you will return to Westerville as soon as possible. :IZ l'f f 5l '..- .ff- f,f TRAINEIRS E E :21f f Q5-Hag C J Page Eight .tv- Sf S.- xgru' 'QQ' Faculty MR.

CRAIG GIFFORD V i-- Aj , It seems titting that the editor ot the I95I Searchlight should quality tor member- ship in an exclusive journalistic society. In March, Craig Gittord was admitted into The Big Inch Club. To be eligible one must be a high school student with at least I0,000 inches ot printed material to his credit, To most people. this would seem to be an almost impossible thing to accomplish, but not to Craig. His journalistic career began 'way back in the titth grade when he was editor and publisher ot The Grape-Vine News. Craig's writing ability was next evidenced when he became a member ot the high school journalism class in his sophomore year. He was sports editor at that time, and in his junior year, served as editor-in-chiet ot the Flashlight, also continuing as sports editor. At the close at his junior year, he was elected editor tor the l95I Searchlight and was awarded membership in Quill and Scroll, an honorary journalistic society tor high school journalists. Quill and Scroll, organized in I926, has 4,62I chapters throughout most ot the English-speaking world. Craig's journalistic abilities have long since Iett the contines ot WHS. For the past two years, he has been sports rep-orter tor The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio State Journal, and WBNS. Many have heard him during his guest appearances on High School Hualdlef' One ot his articles appeared in the December I, I95O, issue ot First and Ten Magazine. Since last summer. Craig has held a responsible position at the Public Opinion. All ol this, obviously, is quite an accomplishment tor anyone. So, Craig applied tor admission to The Big Inch Club , which was organized in I947 by Quill and Scroll as the highest honor given to journalistic students. Jitt is the sixth high school journalist to quality tor the club and is the tirst and charter member in Ohio. At the time ot application he counted approximately I5,000 inches ot printed copy. Page Seventeen i 1, 1: ,,, c 4 -44' tl Q . 3 l C7 Page Eighteen HONOR STUDENTS Eight members ol the Class of l95l have attained the rank ol honor students by maintaining a scholastic standing ot or above throughout their high school careers. To these eight girls-Mary Lou Fichtelman, Martha Watlcins, Alvercla Graft, Carolyn Rhoten, Jane Scatterclay, Norma Schott, Gloria Howard, and Joyce Bow- man-the SEARCHLIGHT stall extends its sincerest congratulations. THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 51 Long. long ago, way back in the f93O's-the fall of '39 to be exact- many mamas were leading their little darlings to the tirst-grade rooms at Vine Street and Longfellow. Those eager. excited-and maybe just a little bit frightened-cherubs were to become the Class of '5l. The tirst day went tine until our mothers left. Then several of us began to get teartully lonesome. Bob Bancroft drowned his sorrows by proposing to Patty Noble and Pat accepted. Before long we began our studies. At Vine Street Les Foor was receiving high praises from his fellow classmates as the best reader because he read by tar the loudest. Our musical talents found expression in the toy band under the direction of Miss Mills. Marilyn f-fartsook, Bob Shultz, and Larry Green made fine student directors in their red capes and waving batons. During the second grade. the boys' interest turned to sports while the girls en- gaged in gymnastics by whirling round and round the bars. Martha Watkins and Carol Tracy left Vine Street to gain their knowledge at Longfellow, but the arrival of Don McPherson made up for the loss-although he was quite provoked with the teacher for the first week because he failed a spelling test. Harold Baker was envied bv the boys and admired by the girls for his square dancing ability. Bob Billman had claimed Nancy Edwards as his one and only. This true love was destined to last two years. The highlight of the year at Vine Street was the churning of butter which all of us ate on delicious gingerbread made by Pat Jo.hnson's mother. How- ever, the year had its sad events, t-oo, for most at us were paddled in the cloakroom for forgetting to keep our heads down in rest period. Third grade brought us little Donna Ruckmanf' whom Craig Gitford carefully looked after all year. At Longfellow a post otfice had been established. Everyone was madly writing letters, while the mailmen were scurrying around the room in order to keep up with business. Before we realized it, we were fourth graders and changing classes iust like high school! This year many of us were privileged to take tonette lessons from Mr. Jordan. By the end of the course everyone but Bob Hall had mastered the scales: he iust couldn't keep those keys covered. Carolyn Rhoten arrived at Vine Street and fascinat- ed us all with her long, l-ang pigtails. With the fifth grade came the Ohio Story which made quite an imprint on our minds, for every day we marched down to the auditorium to listen to the radio. Once during the winter a tragedy occurred. Lois Noble got her tongue frozen on the steel bar on the fence of the playground. When she pulled away, part of her tongue remained. , Surely one of us have forgotten the geography lspefled George Elliot's Old Grandmother Rode A Pig Home Yesterdayl that we learned this year. John Zerky made a marvelous blast furnace whom Miss Moses stoked with workbooks represents ing coke and limestone. Norma Schott portrayed a fruit tree while Miss Moses was the warm lake breeze. Dickie Bishop, and Howard Nafzger spent the year drawing airplanes. Page Nineteen Page Twenty The last year of our grade school career was quite a year. At Longfellow we ice skated during recess-always trying to get wet enough to sit on the register instead of going to class. Some learned to satisfy their ravenous appetites by eating raw Kool-Aid under the desk tops. Once it seemed that about twelve girls had a great surplus of courage and energy which was released by their yelling Hallelujah at the doors of each room. They were later forced to apologize but didn't mind since it meant leaving class to do so. At Vine Street cupid really got a good shot at Jim Norris and Nancy Tingley, but it only led to a lecture given the whole class by Mr. Griffith on Puppy Love. Our happy grade school days were almost o'er, but in the past years we had already made our start in dramatics. Dave Demorest made such a cute Rumplestiltskin. We even had our own newspaper, The Grape Vine News, edited by Craig Gifford. The next year we left our familiar abodes in the grade school building and entered the strange and enormous high school as little seventh graders. After pioneering our way through the long and never-ending halls, finally the day arrived when we were able to reach the right class on time. Way down in Room 3, Betty Willcs entertained us by jumping at least two feet every time Miss Thomas slammed the door. ln English class under Mrs. Swerline, Carol Schwarzlcopf made her debut in story-telling as she related the tragic story of Mortimer's Burp. Jane Scatterday had many after-school engagements with Mr. O'Connell. t-le did his best to try to stop her continuous gabbingp consequently it isn't his fauit that it didn't worlc. Stella McElwee, Allen Gray, Marvin Brady, John Stout, Lewis Howard, James Roloson, Monte Addison, Paul Cherry, and Phil Graf joined us in the eighth grade. We spent many happy hours at the Teen Canteen munching h-ot dogs and playing checkers-always in hope that we would get to dance. At last we could call ourselves freshmen and did not have to attach graders to our title of ranlc. The large group from Minerva Park added quantity and quality to our class. Our first year Latin class presented a slcit. Mercury Mason carried bolts of lightning and tore around the room on winged shoes while Bob Bancroft was dragging Darelle Schattner by her long blonde hair ad inferium. Our class social life began this tall with a hayride. Larry Green had planned the evening but just couldn't seem to enioy himself so much as the rest of us because he was worried about the dreadful possibility that the ten gallons of cider might be hard. Our freshman year ended with a class picnic at the park. We played Red Rover until exhaustion forced us to the less strenuous activity of poking ice down unsuspect- ing victims' baclcs. The following tall we climbed the steps to sophomore hall' and opened the door to many new senior high activities. The girls eagerly snatched up bays for our first formal dance, the Holly Prom. All were quite proud to see the boys of the class talc- ing part in senior high sports-although they spent most of their time warming the benches. The Scarlet Shawl, an operetta, gave us the opportunity of exhibiting our melodious voices. We frustrated adolescents -as Mr. Ralston named us-were now juniors. The class missed Ted Zimmerman, a good friend who had left during the summer. Lucille Burk set the record in typing class, as she had the amazing speed and accuracy to type twenty words in the hole ! ln Chemistry lab Tom Behnke and Delbert Cruit performed many hazardous experiments according to their own procedure while others nervously followed the directions explicitly that their lab partners were reading. Martha Watkins and Cora Van Winkle were elected iunior attendants for home- coming. The cast of our junior class play, Popularity Plus, not only learned their lines but also were taught the skillful art of knitting under the careful direction of Della Howard. One Saturday night in December iunior class members could be seen dashing madly through the streets of Westerville. This was the night of our class party and scav- anger hunt. After the winning team had received their prizes, we presented clever skits and ended the evening with dancing. News spread that in Home Room 201 there was a hog. lt turned out to be a big wooden pig carved by Kenny Lowry. For a while it secretly attended classes until Mr. Stallings expelled it. All this year everyone of us worked deligently to earn money for a really fine Junior-Senior. This dance, which had l-ong been anticipated, satistied our highest dreams. Now we are seniors and are looking back on our schools days. What fun it was being one big happy family in 207 with Mr. Bowers and Mr. Murphy! The former was considered as our Brother, and the latter, as our Papa. Mr. Morris and Mr. Bancroft added zest to the class party by ioining in a fast game of musical chairs. Westerville surprised the outside world by becoming the great football cham- pions of the Mid-Six. Lois Noble, Ruth Sanford, and Doris Compton, our queen and attendants-were honored at the homecoming game and dance at which the swing band played. in one pep rally Craig Gifford and David Demorest were entertaining us with a skit called A Tale of Defeat. This performance resulted in a sore toil for Craig as the sturdy little barrell that Phil Graf finally brought iust couldn't hold him. Who would have guessed on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving that the Big Snow would keep us from schoollfor a week and a half? Everyone had a wonder- ful time coasting and skiing. When Mr. Ralston was called back into the Navy, we lost a good friend and teacher whom none of us shall ever forget. Bob Hall, also left to enlist his service in the Army. The class was now represented in all branches of the armed services since Dick Kiser had joined the Navy and Phil Kaiser, the Marines, in our iunior year. Good luck to them all! More ice and snow again kept us fr-om school the last week of January-another vacation and more ice skating! Mrs. G. spent many nerve-racking hours with Mr. Bowers rehearsing our musical play, Sing a Song of Sixteen. Naturally it was a terrific hit! Now here it is our own Senior Assembly and those twelve long years are behind us. Perhaps most of us did complain at times, but come to think of it, we've really en- ioyed them. We'll miss these familiar old halls and your friendly faces, and hope that you'll always remember us as that Class of '5i.

Mr. Ralston was recalled into active service with the Navy in December and was replaced by Mr. Walter J. Hotchlcin. In November we demonstrated our histrionic ability by presenting the popular comedy, A Case ot Springtime . Representing our class in outstanding athletic achievements were Oene Kuhn, Bob Loar, Dick Oallogly, and Dan Burwell. They were chosen For the All Star Foot- ball Teams selected by THE COLUMBUS DISPATCI-I, Tl-IE COLUMBUS CITIZEN, the OHIO STATE JOURNAL, the PUBLIC OPINION and were unanimously selected by the coaches ot the Mid-Six league.

Our year has been one lull ol thrills and enjoyment-thanks largely to our class sponsors: Mrs. Lillian B. Gossett, Mr. P. W. Davidson, and Mr. C. Frank Stallings. After electing our class otiicers in the tall, we settled dow n to a year ol hard studying. Our class party in November, chaper-oned by Mrs. Gossett, Mrs. Davidson, and Mr. Stallings, was a tremendous success. We got into the social whirl as most oi us tor the tirst time were permitted to attend the annual Holly Prom. Dan Morris and Priscilla Haber man, both sophomores, were selected king and queen ot the prom. The class was well represented in the field ot sports, and our newly elected cheer- leaders, Nancy Cornell and Dave Gral, were territic hits in their first year. Sophomores were much in evidence in the band and the glee clubs. Some ot us found ourselves members ol the l-li-Y and Y-Teens, which lcept us busy throughout the year. Our activities closed with a party in the spring. Despite the moans and groans from the World History, Latin II, and Plone Geometry students, we have survived our sophomore year and are loolcing forward to our junior year.

Our new subiects caught us unaware-boolc reports tor English, the X,Y, and Z's ol algebra, and experiments in science. We participated in the l:.H.A., FFA., and many other extra curricular activities. Increased activities meant new expenses which were met by class dues. Our class was ably represented on the undefeated iunior high football team. Our newly elected cheerleaders-Gayle Davie.

Vernon tive. The Tillie-Cats, scored double wins over Dublin, Worthington, Bexley, and Gahanna and a single win over Big Walnut. Roy Clickenger and Ed Smith were top scorers for the first team. Don Wells served as the spark tor the second squad. Page Thirty-nine 1 nun un 1950 TRACK Page Forty The i950 track squad had no state Champs on it, as the '49 group, lout it did tally four wins, three losses, two ties, and a third in the Mid-Six Relays. It placed fourth in the Arlington Relays. Bill Kegg, Jack Gallogly, and AI Roberts were the sparlc plugs on this year's outtit. Their all-round ability to win events made Westerville a threat in every meet. The '50 squad had the distinction of two tie meets. It tied Gahanna 59-59 in the second meet ol the season and the next week tied Bexley. Another oddity resulted in the team's running its tirst meet in a snowstorm. Bill Kegg broke a record in the shot put and hurdles. The mile relay team ol Roberts, Norris, Papin, and Gallogly set a new record with a 3:4I.l mile. Al Roberts' speed on the 440-yard dash and Dan Burwell's running and pole- vaulting ability should make this year's team tougher than last year's squad. BASEBALL Westerville High baseball team tinished the season with a lair record ol 6 wins and 5 losses. But to make the season even better was the pitching ot Sophomore John Dewitt, who re- ceived credit lor tour ol the tive wins and had no losses. He pitched in tive games. Dick Kerston and Lloyd Linlchorn provided the power at the plate and Les Foor and Gary Pyle supported the infield very ettectively. With Foor, Pyle, and pitching ace Dewitt returning this year, the Wildcats should have a very suc- cesstul season in their bid to win the Mid'Six championship.

' 5 How and What to tell a Don't look for physical clilferences when you hy to spot ax Communist. Communists are all kinds of people in all walks of life and of all races. A Communist is anyone who believes in the Rus- sian system of government, whereby those who govern own everything and control all the activ- ities of all the people. A Communist is loyal only to Soviet Russia. As a member of the Communist Party he is decli- cated for life to the protection of the U.S.S.R. and to the establishment of Communism through- out the world. A Communist will usually deny that he is a Com- munist. There are many Communists who are not in reality card-carrying members of the party. But both types of Communists carry on the same T ll E T I M K E II R 0 L L E R cnurou s, oulo - c 'The right to work :ball not be work, although the second type cannot let it be known that he is a member. His real value to the party is in indoctrinating those unsuspecting people in key positions with government agencies, schools, unions and churches with Communistic philosophies. When a Communist goes to work on you tell him that you are on to him and his dirty game. Tell him, further, that you think it your patriotic duty to make his activities known to others and to the police. Tell him that you know no tactics are too low for :1 Communist: lying, cheating, betrayal, ruin and even murder. But be sure to tell him, too, that America is on the alert and that his scheme for world domination is doomed to failure.
