To Mr. Githens, the faculty and student body expresses its deep admiration for the capable manner in which he has super- vised the schools of the district. Under his competent direction every venture of the manage- ment has been successful during his term of ofhce. The citizens of Wheeling appreciate his eiiiciency, and West Virginia recog- nizes him as one of its leading educators, a brilliant scholar who has done much to make Wheeling schools nationally known. The members of the class of 1926 know him as an executive who has never failed to encourage them in their enterprises. MR. C. li. GITHENS. Superintendent of the NVhr-cling llnhlie Schools I. E.

Although Mr. Ewing has been with the graduating class only two of its four years in Wheeling High School, he has established himself in the heart of each Senior as a true friend. He has proven his ability as an outstanding leader by his eli- ciency, his sympathy, patience: optimism, and untiring efforts 1 to improve every department of our school. It is the wish of the Senior class that Mr. Ewing, a friend of every student and teacher, might realize the full depth of its appreciation for his able guidance during the past two years. MR. I. E.

The liberal education provides man with a rich understanding of people, of the world, for it deals with man's whole nature, as he has been in the past, and will be in the future: it makes him realize that society itself, as Milton has said. requires some other contribution from each individual, be- sides the particular duties of his profession. It is the liberal education that provides the background for every member of the high school faculty, no matter what he teaches, and thus enables us to have a school at all. It is that sort of knowledge which is the basis of the highest ideals of service for humanity. Therefore it is practical. The good that comes with a liberal education is always useful. The Academic Department is the nucleus of all departments and all other courses are built and centered about it. The department gives the high school graduate excellent college preparation and also lays a foundation for success in the business world in any trade or profession. The general and classical courses are included in this department. The Classical Curriculum is designed to prepare the student for a broad education and for entrance to a regular college course. Credit requirements for this course are as follows: English 8 units, Latin 6. Mathematics 6, History and Civics 2, Industrial or Household Arts 2, Gym- nasium Z, and Electives 7. The General Curriculum offers opportunity to those who may or may not desire to enter college or who are not certain about the sort of work they will follow after graduation. It offers a greater choice in elective studies than the other courses. Credit requirements for the General courses are: English 8 units, Mathematics 5, Industrial or Household Arts 2, History and Civics 2, Science 2, Gymnasium 2, and Electives 13. That the students are vitally interested in the subjects taught in this depart- ment can be seen by the number of clubs formed to further interest and to stimulate a further research of the subject. 15 Qfftlk AF :Z .

The fact that graduates of this course are constantly in demand speaks well for the esteem in which this department is held by the business men of the city. The department, one of the most progressive in the state, employs the most modern methods. Every year new subjects are added which give the student a better and broader idea of business conditions and prepare him for eflicient service in the business world. Salesmanship and Business English are the two most recent additions to the commercial curriculum, ln the new com- mercial headquarters located over the library a telephone exchange has been installed where the student can learn the fundamentals of operating. Anyone specializing in commercial work has his choice of the secretarial course, which emphasizes stenography and typing, or the accounting course, which emphasizes bookkeeping. The great number of typewriting awards attests to the students' interest in their subjects, and to the success of this department.

The course in sewing teaches the student how to sew and to plan a wardrobe suitable for the high school girl. To the girl with artistic aspirations, the interior decorating classes offer an outlet for her creative and designing ability, The courses in nutrition and housewifery are essential for daily living. Through them, the modern girl learns how to maintain a healthy, clean home. lfreshmen girls who take cooking are permitted to serve in the cafeteria at noon. lior this they are given extra credit. livery year at the West Virginia State Fair this department has a large repre- sentation, exhibiting all the various kinds of work. lf one can judge from the amount of prizes awarded to this department, Wheeling High School Domestic Science classes certainly lead the state, 17 I-'irst row Qlt-ft to rigrhtjt 'l'llo1m1s Pill'li0I', Supervisor of Potteryg Harry Wagrner, Cztliinet llIZlkiIlf.2'Q I.

This fact is self-evident and the graduates of the Industrial Arts Department of Wheeling High School attest to the success this department has had in pre- paring young people for the managerial and operative branches of the indus- trial world. The students learn practical methods of repair and construction work, and the elements of design that are the foundation for architectural, and engineering the elements of design that are the foundation for architectural and engineering of beauty. The capable staff of instructors is not only active in its classwork, but is always willing to co-operate by handling the scenic and lighting problems for the dramatic department, or by doing necessary art work for the various organizations of the school. 18 .f X.

During his first year he created a new spirit in the school, The students found themselves taking an interest in athletics for their own sake, rather than for the glory derived from them. The idea of the game itself and good sports- manship was predominant. Mr. Dowling and his assistants plan the gymnasium work, and schedule and oversee all athletic tilts in which the High School takes part, In order to graduate from the High School each student must complete two MR, GLENN A.

This course for the boys includes exercises for muscle building and muscular control, games, hurdling, and lectures about personal health and hygiene. For the girls there are folk dancing, games, hurdling, and lectures on health. Health Department Miss Grace George, who came to the school this year, has reorganized the Health Department of the school, and has, by her efficient health advertising and her exhibits, created among the students great interest in healthful living. In the first semester, the school conducts a phys- ical examination and Dr. C. H. Keesor examines every student in the school. If the students need further attention they are directed to their family physician. Miss George has in her files a complete chart of the condition of each student in the school at the time of the examination. Iodine tablets are administered under her suprevision to prevent and control the growth of goitre, a disease very prevalent in the Ohio Valley. MISS GRACE GEORGE, R.N., B.S., Director of Health Education. Classes for the freshmen in Home Nurs- ing and First Aid fit them to care for ordinary diseases and minor accidents. For the senior girls there is a course in Public Health and Personal Hygiene. The class this semester took a trip to Washington, D. C., where it studied hospital conditions and saw all the places of interest in our capital. 20 LL Wheeling Public Library S 'l' A 1 lf : l.il11'z11'i:111 -----4- - Miss lftla al.

Here special shelves containing the books on the approved high school readf ing list are reserved for the students. Miss Etta Roberts, highly efficient head librarian, is always willing to help all students, and, more than that, to teach the student how to use the library independently. This semester, she, assisted by Miss Elizabeth I-lulton. gave lectures about the facilities of the library, disposition of books, and the use of the library to the entering Freshmen. The extremely capable staff workers assisting Miss Roberts keep the well- stocked shelves in perfect order and are constantly initiating new systems of reference which make books more easily accessible. There have been only three librarians in the forty-two years of the library's existence. Miss Roberts accepted the position when the library was moved to its present site in 1911. The third floor is connected with the main building of the high school and will be occupied September. 1926, by the Commercial Department, 21 ' '..... and .... bowed himself With all obedience to the King, and wrought All kind of service with a noble ease That graced the lowliest act in doing it.

SEAMAN W. f f7f' , - , . 4 A W OUR years have quickly passed away since the day when we, the members of the Class of '26, set out upon an V K' experience which has influenced the careers of all of us. 'f4VJ7ff1.-ffzzq: Backward, turn backward, O time in thy way, and let me a freshman be just for a dayl Let us turn back the pages of history for four years and briefly review the events which have most impressed us. We started in high school just like all other freshmen. How were we ever to make schedules and find rooms? How did we know what course to take, or how did we know whether we would enter college? College was a dim possibility of the future which most of us had never considered. However we took a chance and blindly chose our courses, which many have changed and for which some have luckily been fitted. Though superficially we were like ordinary freshmen, we were excep- tional in many ways. W Our first few weeks of school were ones of torture, for the boys were initiated and the girls. ridiculed. Ours was the honor of being the last freshmen class to receive initiation. Every day we were met at the Y corner with paddles. The fun stopped when someone shampooed a poor lad with a bottle of pop. Since then freshmen have never been bothered, presumably because they seem so insignificant. We were the first freshmen to receive the standard form of Annual, so that we now have a history in four volumes of all our activities. We were honored by being represented on the football squad by Bus LaRue and Clint Carrico. When we became sophomores we organized with Elma Phillipson as presi- dent, William Seaman as vice-president, and Solomon Bobes as secretary- treasurer. We chose Miss Gladys Edmondson as our sponsor, and our social career began with several dances and parties. Our sophomore year was one of the most important in the school's career. It was first marked by the inauguration of a cafeteria, after years of entreaty and suffering, during which we ate cold lunches in twenty minutes. We were no longer compelled to trade in milk tickets and to ruin our digestive processes. In that year, also, we obtained a music department under Mr. -Steckel, who had often entertained us and now began to put us on the map musically. The year closed with the departure of our principal, Mr. Johns, a large number of the faculty, and our class president. In our junior year there began a new epoch in Wheeling High. Mr. I. E. Ewing, principal of Madison School, whom many of us had known, took command of affairs with many new teachers as assistants to handle the many freshmen. It was then that our present Annual editor came into the school from Pittsburgh and took active part in school work. Since our president and sponsor were gone we reorganized with these officers: Clint Carrico, presi- dent, Budd Haberstick, vice-president, and Florence Buss, secretary. We chose Miss Helen Bruckman as our guardian for the remaining two years. CContinued on page 1521 63 L Qxxma anim OU?

At last we, the honorable Seniors, can 1 dispense with that flattery which has kept our grades up I to the required average. Egad! Too long have we humbled l W- ourselves, and kept in silence our innermost thoughts, that V na we might some day arrive at this moment. Now that we are free we shall bespeak our mind and acquaint you less fortunate ones with the various tortures and. camouflaged evils which bestrew the path that every Senior must trod. While the chicks are yet snoozing in their feathery beds the Senior is awakened by a fearful night-mare in which he is trailed by that dreaded detective. Shysome Bones. alias Willie Keylor. In 3M minutes the Senior must be dressed and ready to pursue the same monotonous routine of the previous day. Leaving his half devoured breakfast behind, he dashes from the house, just in time to collide with the milkman, and after doing the swan dive down the front steps he is again on his way to school. As there are no street cars at this time in the morning he breaks into a dog trot to be at school in time for the last bell, meanwhile working his algebra lesson for the day. This system is necessary for Mr. Patterson says that one can think better when he is on his feet, Entering school half exhausted he goes straight to the Black Hole, a dinky two by four place sometimes called the locker-room. Here he attacks his lock and, having tried every one of the advertised 64,000 possible combinations, he becomes thoroughly convinced that a can-opener is the only solution to the mystery. The last bell rings while he is trying to put the locker door back on its hinges, and with quaking heart and trembling knees, he wends his way to the Court Room. After taking the witness chair, he is informed that His Honor, Judge I. E. Ewing, is busy clearing the building of stray hounds which had come to peep at their lost relatives mysteriously detained in the cafeteria. Upon the arrival of His Honor the student receives a slip, and after giving bond for his appearance after school he is released. From here he flies to his first period class, only to find that a test is in progress. He sets to work with feverish haste tracing the growth of taxation from Carpet Tax to Thumb Tax. After finishing the first question he looks at the clock and finds that he has but five minutes to answer the next nine. He rushes on at top speed and finishes all the questions just in time. As he is wearily handing his paper in he is informed by Miss Boyd that the clock is twenty minutes fast and that he shouldn't have been so hasty. Someone has said that trouble never comes singly and the one who breathed that surely knew his proverbs because from here he must go to English Lit. class, and spend 45 minutes in utter seclusion from the vast domains of pleasure. After a few minutes in this class one would realize why Milton went blind. One of the Terrible Three of Literature holds sway over this awe-inspiring class. 67 JN 'D was--a 1 kai ' a ' From this class the student must rush to his chapel period. Then the student must take, after marching to the front of the room, his seat which has been placed nearly under the stage. Fellow reader, just consider the suf- fering a poor senior must endure in that Assembly Hall. Up above him in Peanut Heaven are the Freshies who may sit in solid comfort during this period because half of what's going on they can't hear and they can't under- stand the other half. Consequently they sleep or play on in perfect peace. When Chapel is over the Senior must march out first to beat his way through the overcrowded hall. At last he breaks into the open and makes a 100-dash through the wind and weather for the Church. When he reaches his pew, he must begin at once to destroy an Underwood, and the uppercuts are barred when Mr. McCoy holds sway. After the collection is taken, the well-nigh exhausted one must hasten to Civics where he hears the glories and follies of our government broadcasted for the entire tee-otal of 45 minutes, during the last ten of which he hears nothing. The pangs of hunger have overcome him. He is almost ravenousl At the first sound of the bell he makes a plunge for the Cafteria, but Alas! when he arrives in the hall he finds that he hasn't a chance because the line of would- be-eaters look like the lost batallion found . When the Senior at last secures his lunch and whistling the well-known ballad, 'iI've Got You Now, begins to raise the spoon to his mouth, the bell rings and he must leave his 45c lunch uneaten to be an early entrant in the dash for Chemistry. Here he endangers his life from the very moment that he enters for he must mix some of the highest explosives known-such as T. N. T.-and Glycerine-in the, as yet, unsuccessful effort to find a hair tonic for which certain members of the faculty have sent in many a tearful petition. If he manages to escape this room with his life, he may be seen staggering to that doleful spot-the Study Hall. Almost overcome by the day's tasks and hardships, he lays his weary head upon the desk to rest for a few minutes but is instantly awakened by Miss Hall. Unsympathetic soul! Wretchedly he picks up a book in a vain effort to decipher the words upon the page. The dust on the windows is so thick that the tiny sun rays creeping through are only bright enough to reveal the faces of anxious Sophomores and Juniors. These plainly are envious of the Seniors, but frail as they are, they despair of ever being able to live through a day, let alone a year of such hardships. Heed our warning, Lower Classmen, and do not make too much haste to reach the fatal Senior year. You will be sorry to-the-end-Hof-your-days. 68 . W , X tj., - S - ws ' J, ' The Class Crow BY HELEN DORSEY AND GERTRUDE NoYEs AD, may I have the keys to the car? I want to take the girls to the game this afternoon. You know how it is, Dad. , For a big game like this you have to go early, and if you psf depend upon the street cars you never do get there in time. N, .cgi You know, Dad, how it is? it Sure, Jack, you can take the old car. The street car's mg, good enough for your mother and me. Why, I've seen ' 1 every game my Alma Mater played since the men won that marvelous State Championship in 1926. Honestly, Jack, you never have seen a team fight as they did. To decide the State Championship they played on one of the muddiest fields you could imagine, but do you think they minded? Well, I should say not! I honestly think that it gave them more pep to see that immense crowd standing there in that rain to see them win. And that dear old class had the best boosters of the school in it. The girls in their rainbow-hued slickers came to cheer that team to victory whether they were drenched with rain or burned up with sun rays, and the band in its glorious regalia was always present to add thrills to the singing of 'The Old Gold and Blue' They didn't always have to stand out in the rain to enjoy the sports, for we had a Hne gymnasium and it was all the finer when our boys and girls stepped on the floor. There wasn't a man for miles around that could stop our forwards, Oddie and Raddy-two more of our class, Jack-when they started dribbling the ball down the floor. It was like rolling off a log for Emblen to lift the ball into the basket. And here shone 'Bus' LaRue: he didn't stop at track, baseball, or football Cwith his 85-yard dashesj but then he was a member of our class too. And the scrubs deserved more credit than any others that ever turned out to instil vigor into the teams. And say, don't think the boys were the only athletes down there. Didn't I mention the girls? I can remember only once when they were outshone and that was out of generosity for the Spencer team. We had the best center- center?--she was captain. Bacon-Bacon-Bacon, something that goes with eggs. . . OI-Il I have it, her name was Hamm. Maybe that girl and her team couldn't roll 'em in! And if you think your sister can cage them you should have seen our swift forwards multiply the score. Our team wasn't lopsided either, for we had the best guards in the state. When I went to Wheeling High School, our class took it upon themselves to punish any member who received one of the little white slips sent out every six weeks with less than ninety per cent on it, and you can bet that very few ever had to be punished. You and your sister think you've done something when you bring home an eighty. The majority of our class made ninety-five all the time. ' Really, Son, the undergrads used to turn green with envy at the favors with which the teachers deluged us. But how could they help it? You think 69 OMER ff? KZ X .' , Xtf wgqfuw - - 1 . ri 1 ' - ' ' x f ' you have good teachers, but you should have seen the ones I had. Those exceptional people drilled us so long that I am sure none of our old school- mates will ever forget 'Paul Revere's Ride', or 'Robinson Crusoe,' or the nine- teen amundments of the 'Constitution' The teachers had to burn the midnight oil in order to be a pace ahead of our class. How Principal Ewing used to smile upon the chosen ones in the front seats in chapel-the center section, of course. When puzzled by a problem, he would immediately hold a conference with our class for our helpful advice. Whenever it was the desire of some member of the class of '26 to give a little speech or sing a little song in chapel, he was always glad to step back in order to give the entire school this unusual treat. You call that a dramatic production you gave down at school the other night? When I was a senior two members of the faculty deliberately created a musical comedy, 'Nancy Lee,' with the sole purpose of displaying our abun- dant talent. Son, let me tell you what your Dad did. I was chosen from the class to wave a palm leaf over the 'King of the Cannibal Isles'. Talk about song birds! Why the audience went wild when Nancy Lee and Lieu- tenant Martin sang 'I Love You'. That was the night I fell for your mother. When it came time to put on the class play, a problem arose before the faculty. Son, they had to choose thirteen from that vast field of Barrymores, Maude Adamses, and Valentinos-only thirteen, Son. They didn't choose me, but they borrowed my dog, 'Dazzlerf There was weeping and gnashing of teeth when the time came for them to send us out into the wicked world. Poor Miss Hall read, with a tear for each line, the notes she had gathered from time to time from the members of the vacating class. Miss Gail Holliday in desperation let loose all the bugs she had collected, thinking there was no further use for them. Mr. Ewing, over- whelmed with the resignations of the faculty, and seeing no reason for it but the grief over our departure, decided to resign and devote the rest of his life to writing the 'History of the Class of '26' to be presented to the Con- gressional Library where all the nation might read and be inspired. By the way. Jack, did you say something about the keys for the car? But alas! There was no Jack to answer the question-Jack had long ago slipped off to the game. HELEN DoRsEY.

One meets old friends at every corner. But oh, what a change has come over these old friends! They are not as they used to be- not as we knew them in thc old days. The girls and boys of today are not like the young people of 1926 who were such model citizens in dress and deport- ment that never a word of complaint was uttered against them. It is true that girls in that day did favor a boyish bob and knickers, but never did they dream of smoking a pipe and wearing suspenders! And the boy--what has become of the real he-man we used to know in the old days? He has been replaced by a whim- pering, frail, and delicate crea- ture wearing a skirt on each leg and combing his fluffy locks. Walking is an art that is sadly neglected by the would- he progressive world today. It is the only exercise that developed grace of movement and perfect poise. From time to time there ap- pears on the horizon certain reformers who give their whole lives to the re-establish- ment of the art of walking. The most recent of these re- form movements occurred 25 odd years ago, the WHOC- CERS Club, organized in Wheeling'High School. This club is still active and is striv- ing to keep this art from en- tirely passing from the face of the earth. Every one should foster this noble movement.

The Junior class was busy With plans that were supreme, And when they were completed Oh! What a glorious scheme! From north, south, east, and from the west The Seniors came that night Bedecked in costumes beautiful, A truly wondrous sight! The Juniors were delightful:-- All hail the White and Green! They made a perfect evening for Each Knight, each lovely Queen. To the tune of music quite divine, Fast sped the happy hours, And the memory of that glorious Prom Will evermore be ours. i......o....1 Senior Chapel It was very near the close of its last semester when the Senior class was given full sway in chapel exercises, where it carried out the old tradition of the graduating class-that of presiding in the principal's stead over assembly meeting. As is the established custom, the dignified graduates made known to the world on this fair morning those treasured documents known as the class papers. The readings were given by very capable speakers, each one of which had helped to write the paper he read. The under-classmen and faculty were astonished by the trials and abuses that the class of '26 suffered during its high school career, and which were disclosed on the time-worn pages of the Class History. They were again surprised as they heard the Class Crow, the Toast, the Roast, and finally the Last Will and Testament containing the generous gifts of that noble class. so n I hofnme-Love mg du! .

Oliver Edwards of the music department, and the libretto, by Miss Beth Wiley, dramatic instructor. The spirited comedy, a combination of rollicking humor and tender pathos, was eagerly received and enjoyed by the appreciative VVheeling public. The scenery was designed by Miss Beth Wiley and Miss Dorothy Schmalhorst, head of the designing classes, and painted by those two, ably assisted by Henry Schrader, Marian Haller, and Budd Haberstick. The Industrial Arts department, under the direction of Mr. VV. E. Beem, constructed the thunder and lightning machines. Wilbur Curtis and Milton Schenerlein assisted him. Mr. F. T.

A The Goose Hangs High The Senior class chose The Goose Hangs High , a modern three-act drama by Louis Beach, for the annual class play. It was produced in the high school auditorium on Feb- ruary 25 and 26, 1926, before a large and appreciative audience. The story deals with the home sacrifices of parents in a modern home to keep their children in college. Finally when calamity overtakes the mother and father, the seem- ingly callous children show the finest qualities and the play ends happily. Florence Buss played the part of the mother sympathetically, showing unusual patience with her spirited twins, the characterization of whom Budd Haberstick and Mary Morgan gave splendidly. As the father, Clint Carrico displayed unusual understanding and emo- tional feeling. Kathryn Cook interpreted the part of a reserved grandmother in a fashion that caused an unending roar of laughter throughout the play. Helen Juergens and Fred Phillips portrayed the parts of a happily engaged couple unaffectedly and sincerely. William Emblen, as the ambitious politician, showed a naturalness that was beyond criticism, while Harry Craig played well another mature part as Elliott Kimberly, a hardened politician. Craig's acting was realistic and displayed surprising ability. The parts of the neglected cousin, Ronald Murdock, and his mother were very well handled by Charles lhlenfeld and Virginia Jones. Clem, a suitor for the hand of Lois, was well acted by William Sharp. Donald Reed displayed unusual stage presence in the handling of the part of Noel Derby, an old friend of Bernard Ingals. il Q- l.

QFER .915 bd THE MUSICAL ASSOCIATION, di- rected by E, Oliver Edwards, is composed of the following or- ganizations: Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club, the Orchestra, and the Band. These organizations have entertained the students with musical programs and have assisted at all dramatic productions and various other social activities given by the school. Through their efforts the Zimmer T Harp Trio returned and gave a pleas- ing program for the high school students and citizens of Wheeling. MR. F. OLIVER EDNVARDS Director of Music Musical Appreciation HE course in Musical Appreciation teaches the student to recognize the I beauties of classical music, and to have a better understanding of the compositions written by the old masters. Mr. Edwards illustrates his lectures by playing the compositions himself or by playing victrola records. With the lectures Mr. Edwards gives short sketches of the composer's life. The repertoire of pieces has been increased gradually till now all the types of music are fully represented. The deficiencies and fallacies of jazz are shown to the students and many of the so-called original syncopations are traced back to pieces which have stood the test of years. The course is invaluable to any person who wishes to be well informed and especially to the student who belongs to other musical organizations of the school, Students who take this course do not need to have talent or even a previous knowledge of music. 90 .?Hi,fv, VVVV I M .

Boys' Cilee Club HE BOYS' GLEE CLUB. composed of 29 male voices, has appeared before the public more than any other musical club in the association. Besides singing in chapel the members have delightfully entertained the Woman's Club, The Art Study Club and the guests at the high school's Open House. Under the capable direction of William Zimmerman, the Glee Club has sung at numerous churches during the spring months. April 27 and 28, the members of the Glee Club put on a remarkable min- strel which was the height of achievement for this group of singers. One of the features of this minstrel was a skit given by the letter men of the football team in a setting of Gold and Blue. The leading men in the musical comedy. Nancy Lee, were Cilee Club boys. Doesn't this prove that it is well worth the time of every boy to belong to this organization and receive its excellent vocal training? 91 THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB L L L L L L L Z-25455552 Zag:-El: EALQL.

The orchestra is one of thc oldest and most vital organizations in the school. lt has proven its capability not only to the students in chapel on Monday mornings, but to the city as well by its appearances at all dramatic activities. debates, Open House, and other functions given in the high school auditorium. Mr. Edwards has established a high standard for the orchestra not only in the execution of the programs. but in the type of music played, No one could listen to compositions of the classical or modern school and remain unfeeling and deaf to their appeal.

Mr. Edwards deserves great credit for the untiring efforts he has put forth in bringing this band to its present perfection. lt was practiced almost up to Sousa's stan- dard, a student was heard to say. During football season the band was always seen leading the rooters and boosters of Wheeling High to the football field, where it was the inspiration for splendid new cheering feats and rousing songs of loyalty and victory. The band was invited to enter a Band Tournament at Gary, Indiana, but the invitation was declined as the sponsor considered the band too young and inexperienced to compete with those who had several years' experience, It was further honored by being chosen to play at the dedication of the Bellaire-Benwood bridge at Bellaire, Ohio, where it received the praise of many high school oflicials for its fine playing. When one considers its rapid development and already high attainments, the future looks very bright and it is impossible to prophesy what heights it is destined to reach. 94 l .Smal ,. 0 bake-lmf BX qowaxc. 4 +1 0111? have xobdvtixifgwx h C -5 U 'W 'Y H MTQX BAY 3 And all this Order of the Table Round Fulfill one boundless purpose of their King. .iigh-.-..... . . .

Heinlein Mr. I. W. Barkman Miss Dorothy Schmalhorst Sponsor Business Sponsor Art Sponsor The Annual OR the first time, the WHEELINO HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL has been in the hands of the Senior class. The actual work was done by a small staff for whose industry and school spirit the book itself eloquently speaks. The editor-in-chief of the Annual, Donald Reed, with the highest interest of the school at heart, gave his time and excellent judgment unsparingly to the general management and the detail work of the many departments. The school appreciates his loyal service and tenders him and his staff its congratu- lations upon the completion of a difficult piece of work. The next most arduous task is always that of managing literary editor. The senior class might well vote Helen Dorsey one of its most faithful and efficient members. To a detailed and intricate work she gave careful super- vision, and is largely responsible for the form, accuracy, and even the early appearance of the book. The Art Department has never been so well represented, both in the amount and the quality of the work. Here, too, one person stands out above the rest, Marian Haller, whose many insert pages bear witness to her certain talent and her interest in the Senior book. At the head of two line advertising teams are Arthur Cech and Edward Craig, who inspired their staffs to work well and who themselves obtained an unusually large amount of advertising, The names of the many others on the business, literary, and att staffs, with the work that they did, appear elsewhere to remind the school to whom it owes its gratitude for this 1926 issue of THE ANNUAL. 99 Literary and Business Staffs First row, tleft to rightjz Lawrence VVeinstein, Virginia Whitham, Gertrude Noyes, Mildred Thomas, Elizabeth Hiscocks, Ruth Ungaro, Harold 'VVarFfuel, William Zimmerman.

Only those boys who measure up to the high standard set forth by the H1-Y boys are considered for membership. Aside from the weekly dinners held at the Y. M. C. A. which precede each meeting, the club frequently gives bowling parties to which outsiders are most cordially invited. The boys from this club who attended the State Convention at Charleston returned with a brighter outlook on life and many valuable messages to the club. This delegation was recognized in Charleston as the one showing the best spirit of all the clubs represented. U I 1 Once a year the Hi-Y Club conducts chapel exercises with the object of giving the high school students ffreshmen in particularl an idea of the purpose. and activities of this splendid organization which has attained its present heights under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Ernest L.

It now is under the sponsorship of Miss Mary P. Hackett and Miss Madge Miller, who put an astounding amount of life into a language once thought dead. The organization meets semi-monthly, at which time the members give very delightful programs. Studies of Roman life are brought out in the programs of talks, playlets, and dialogues. The first of the year the club had a very successful party at which the mem- bers of the newly formed Warwood Latin Club were the guests. Both clubs put on stunts and the Wheeling club staged an elaborate Roman wedding. ln March the club, at a social meeting, gave the scene from Shakespeare s Julius Caesar where Caesar is killed. All the actors appeared in Roman togas.

The object of this organization is: To promote greater interest in and appreciation of better literature. to encourage thinking and clear expression in short talks, informal debates, readings, and simple dramatizations, to increase efficiency in the use of the English language, and to familiarize the members with the principles of parliamentary practice. At the bi-weekly meetings the members present interesting original pro- grams which consist of talks, debates, and criticisms of the works of classical authors. The society presented four very successful skits of modern life in chapel at the Annual Open House reception of the high school. The three unequaled sponsors who have given their time and energy to the development of this club are Miss Anna E. Carroll, Miss Carrie M. Dague, and Miss Beth Wiley. sim' IO5 Science Club First ron, loft to right: Eugene Prager, Phyllis Lee Amos, Ella-l lirinkinun, Elizalu-tli llic-ks, Ania- McConnell, Grayce Mvinhart, Virginia Hervey, Frances Mcljonalrl, Mildred Loew, Catherine Seaman, Edward Craig.

HE RADIO AND CAMERA CLUBS, organizations of similar purpose, were merged this year and renamed the Science Club. The object of this club is to promote interest in all branches of science and by the presentation of scientific experiments, to provide entertainment for the members. The club sponsored one of the most interesting programs of this year when Lewis Williams, a scientific magician, gave a lecture and demonstration before the entire student body. Some of the experiments are as follows: turning water to wine: showing pressure of air: evaporation of water and explanation of how rain is formed. Mr. Charles Ebers has labored long to put the club on its now splendid footing, and to him the club extends its hearty thanks.

The members, all of whom carry out the highest ideal of sportsmanship, are those athletes who have earned their letter.

LTHOUGH recently organized, the Wheeling Commercial Club is rapidly taking its place among the most progressive organizations of the school. The Club, consisting of forty wide-awake members, holds its meetings every Tuesday. For a long time Wheeling High School has needed a record of the positions, addresses, and salaries of former high school graduates. Upon Mr. Key1or's advice the members of the club decided to compile such a record. Because of its recent organization this club has had no social activities. Through the splendid efforts of the two eilicient leaders, Mr. W. W. Keylor and Mr. Ross Michener, this club, though so young, has been of great service to the school. all 108 Girl Reserves First row lla-fl to rigrhljz l-'iuiit-us Elvcling, Kzitliryn Mullen, Myra Tliunius, Tlu-lnizi llunsom, Dorolliy tliiiiifllly, Mmni. lli-iuh-rsnni, l loi'4-mee llisvocks, Anna Jncovetty, Wilma lllDWill'il, Evelyn Nolte, Gtxllllfiilllil West, Sara Nun Wilson, Adu Zimmerman.

HE GIRL RESERVES, a Y. W. C. A. club for girls of all denominations, was reorganized this year under the inspiring guidance of Miss Sophia Erwin, and has done wonderful work throughout the community. The organization meets every Monday afternoon either in the high school or at the Y. W. C. A. building. At the meetings the girls plan their charitable work and enjoy the delightful programs presented by the members or by some person interested in the work of the club. At Christmas time the club took baskets containing food and clothing to the unfortunate ones in Benwood. At Easter the club distributed Easter baskets to the crippled children at the hospitals. Socially the club is very active: it is renowned for its wonderful suppers and splash parties which are given at the Y. W. C. A.

The meetings, held every two weeks, are conducted in a most interest- ing fashiong the Spanish language is used for general conversational discussions as well as for the business procedure. The programs consist of a variety of entertaining and instructive games in which a keen knowledge of the Spanish language is most essential. Of these, the Bull Fighting game, originated by Thomas Cannerella, Pit, and Blind Man's Buff are the most popular. Through special reports which the students frequently make, the members hear many fascinating tales of old Spain in all her glory-of Spain today striving to keep pace with her progressive neighbors. When new members are taken in, they are initiated by being made to walk blindfolded through a maze of chairs with their only directions coming in Spanish. The new members are then made to wear a placard with the seal of the club for a week or more. El Circulo Castellano wishes to express its deepest gratitude to Senor Brown for his enthusiasm in sponsoring it.

This club has the distinction of being the baby club of Wheeling High School. The charter members who attended the first meeting held on February l 1. 1926, had an advantage over all later members in that they had the pleasure of holding and planning initiation. The interesting programs consist of two or more fascinating theorems, which go beyond the scope of classroom study, and one humorous skit. This club was especially organized for students interested in solid geometry. advanced algebra and trigonometry, most of whom have planned careers of engineering and those professions involving scientific research work, for which these subjects form the foundation. The membership of the club is limited to thirty-four i'mediocre members and one brilliant one, Mr. A. J. Patterson. tl-le insists on being a mere member.j The number of initiates and applicants show that this club will be soon one of the most active in the school. 111 Hi-Y Comrade Club First row Lleft to riglitjz Junior llzilnersliek, Melvin lh'anflt, Rolnert llantli, Elmer llrnlton, William lluff- man, Kenneth Brown.

Some of the subjects of recent debates are: Resolved that Wheeling High School should have a Student Council , Resolved that a Church Congrega- tion may exclude undesirable people from its Services . an extemporaneous debate given by Herbert Blattler and William Britt. Apart from the regular meetings the members of the Debate Club have enjoyed a dance, a theatre party, and an evening of amusing games which served to sharpen the wits of the players. Through the efforts of the club's officers and its sponsor, Mr. Egger. a debate was arranged with Warwood High School for April 20: i'Reso1ved that the United States Government should have an Aviation Department separate from the Army and Navy. Tryouts were held on April 6, and the following persons selected to repre- sent the Gold and Blue: William Callahan, Cuyler Ewing, Eugene Prager.

When it was organized in October, 1925, a definite purpose was kept in view-to give more news. more satisfaction, and more value for a reduced price. In this, chiefly because of the exceptional ability of the editor-in-chief, Cameron, it has been successful. The new Journalism Course under the direc- tion of Miss Virginia Heinlein offered wonderful opportunities for upper- classmen interested in writing, and the classes under this course were incor- porated in the new staff. It has been through this course and the efforts of both faculty advisors that The Record has attained its high degree of Journal- istic and Business excellence. 115 THE RECORD STAFF First row Qleft to rigrhtjz Barbara Tuttle, Gertrude Noyes, Kathryn Mullen, Frances Elwling, llal Conrad, George Garrison, William Hanes, Junior Halrerstick, Nelson Mehlman. Second row: Kathryn Cook, Edith Ki-rm-ss, Mildred Miskimins, William Si-aman, William Plank:-y, Eugene Ewing, Paul Anvil, William Callahan, Kenneth Cameron, Editor-in-Chief.

As a mere experiment the new staff introduced a plan which separated the Literary from the Business Departments. Throughout the school year the Literary Department, composed of both girls and boys, and the Business De- partment of boys have worked independently. The benefits resulting from this action have been greater than ever before. The oflice of the Literary Staff was in Room 321 and the adjoining hallway. ln this department, the method of rotating offices, employed during the iirst semester, gave to the reporters an opportunity to test their ability and discover for what sort of work they were best fitted. The headquarters of the Business Staff were in Room 211-an orderly place, inspiring everyone to eflicient work. The Business Staff, which has grown rapidly, now includes: Departments of Circulation, Collection, Advertising, Bookkeeping and Adjustments, besides an ofiicial quartermaster. Each of these departments has special work to perform and there is no over- lapping. The final report from each was entirely satisfactory, showing much advancement over those of any previous year. .116 A Y Yiiw l , l.I'l'liRARY AND BUSINESS OFFILTICS Oli THE RECORD 'lirue to precedent the Staff has left behind a remarkable record. It has published twice as many editions as in previous years. twice as many athletic programs, four times as much reading matter and has given ten times greater service to the school and its community. It has sent its publications into all parts of the world and has received favorable comment everywhere. It has interested more business men, more colleges and more private schools. It has left behind a foundation for a bigger and better Record in the years to come. ll7 ...... and thrice They clash'd together, and thrice they brake their spears Then each, dishorsed and drawing, lash'd at each So often and with blows that all the crowd wondered ....... Hnllef? l Y 1 JOHN KNIGHT, Coach Is every beginner in an adventure 11 tenderfoot? Here is one exception. Coach Knight, who came to XVheeling High in 1925, has, in his first year, pro- duced the school's first State Championship Football Team. Coach Knight was grad- uated in 1923 from West Virginia NVes- leyan as a star athlete and student. He has proven a remarkable coach and a sin- cere friend to every student in Wheeling: High School. ELIZABETH STEINBICKER, Coach It runs in the family is an old proverb that here holds secure. Miss Elizabeth Steinbicker, who was a loyal Wheeling High School athlete in her school days, at the beginning of the 1925 term took charge of the girls' athletic teams in our school. She has kept the girls' record upon the lofty pinnacles that it has occu- pied in past years. For the last three seasons they have been undefeated. .f'Ou1'H Penn J'1'R,Lf.T' 1 - -- D . i l 1 1 S 'l p lj S ...E ,2-li?-1222235115429-i'-2!d?g14::E72 '2i T' C Y T ' LNNLY O I- t I .

' ' x fr, I M It's the Old Gold and Blue that we love- The Course of the Champions IN A QUIET KINGDOM by the Ohio, in a beautiful secluded valley, set forth a Golden band of warriors on a dangerous quest. It was in the year of 1926 that these undaunted heroes went out battling with the strong and the weak, with Sir LaRue leading the conquerors. A clever Knight mapped out the cam- paigns in a skillful manner. The surrounding realms far and near were jealous of the glories hoarded by the Gold and Blue. To accomplish the task of win- ning the token, the sign of victory, the campaigners were compelled to meet nine foes. With all armor bright, all minds alert, all hearts determined to bring the coveted honor to their own Gold and Blue castle, they threw them- selves into the struggle. The iirst rival to be met and vanquished had at its helm a noble and courageous lad who had once graced the halls of this castle. He had drifted afar and was reigning supreme in a little ivale, by the name of Benwood. Counties and shires from miles around gathered to witness the initial struggle. Shouts and cheers resounded heartily as the Golden heroes left the field with a thirty-three to naught victory. The Gold Knights had tasted the sweet delights of victory. Nothing could deter them now. They 'took in order a straight line of conquests as follows: the shire of Warwood's valorous men, after a terrilic combat, fell before the onslaught by the score of seven to naught: the shire of Moundsville came next and with vengeance unmerciful the Crusaders met and turned back the inhab- itants forty-five to naught: Fairmont country-side invaded the victorious terri- tory but met with the same fate and were saddened by a twenty-five to three count. So much for the first three who fell before the Golden onrush. Stand- ing second to the Knightmen in population and importance was the shire of Huntington. Determined to set their stronger foes back, the Huntingtonians 124 The Famous Tilt at Parkersburg had to be content to take a twelve to six defeat. Then came Linsly, the Gold's dear old rivals. Fighting in mud and mire, they battled to a naught to naught draw. Sliding along on a sweet line of victories they traveled to a country of Parkersburg and came back a six to naught winner. Success cannot con- tinue forever, so the Knightmen fell before a worthy Bellaire battalion by a single count. seven to six. Not discouraged by a setback, the Golds sent a stirring challenge to all who desired the trophy that had won their hearts. The bravest of the lot to respond to the threat was Victory. With dreams of a championship campaign the Knights went to battle and could not be defeated. They emerged from the strife a twenty-Hve to naught victor. l.aRue's Golden Knightmen were hailed as undisputed champions and the coveted trophy now rests peacefully in the walls of the Gold and Blue castle. . .-0il 125 BUS LaRUE A marvel of the gridiron is about to pass off the stage of high school sports forever. His achievements have never been equalled before. A ball carrier, passer, and punter, he is a person who executes everything superbly--yes, it's our 'fBus . SPUD KRATZ Spud Kratz, evidently born a leader is to lead the team of 1927 through as successful a season as that enjoyed by the team of 1926. A hard tackler and as aggressive a lad as ever trod a gridiron' BACHMANN The bigger they are, the harder they fall , shouts the opposing team when en- countering our heavy Frank. Bachy doesn't reply audibly, but thinks to him- self that they'll stop plenty quick if he hits them. Equal rights are practiced in this country, so why complain? CONNOLLY Pull in your earsg here comes Iocomo tive Connolly. Try to stop the twentieth century limited, but not John once hes started down the field. His prowess has caused many a staunch heart of the op posing squads to quiver upon seeing this popular aggressive youth. CRAIG Mercury would blush with shame if he could only see Craig trot the old pigskin along at a 60 mile a minute clip. Why he wasn't christened Speed is a mys- tery to us! He possesses the natural qualities of a vicious interferer and tackler. EMBLEN In all games this lad, Emblen stands out as one of the hardest chargers and tacklers on the field. His dogged deter niination and aggresssiveness have merit ed much enthusiastic praise from all w1th whom he comes in contact both on the field and in the stands. CARRICO Some speak of the stalwart Indian, but Clint Carrico as our champ football cen- ter would make the first Americans ap- pear foolish. Nature's law provides that the center of anything gets the shocks, but our pivot man, fighting, charging and hitting hard, withstands them all. HERZER Clap hands! Here comes Silent Bob When Bob rushes on the field he brings an entirely new atmosphere of pep and spirit that's saved many a game for Wheeling. Bob has gained a reputation in state football circles as a plunging guard of enviable ability. 126 ROGERS Watch that red-head go! Down in under every punt, always alert, fast as lightning! His superior as a tackler is not found on a high school field during a season. N'Vell thought of by his team- mates, Red is always an inspiration dur- ing play. MEINTEL lf at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. 'l'hat's the steady old guard Mein- tell At first he was a third stringerg and he is now a wearer of a golden UW . Opposing linemen found him as aggres- sive a man as they ever cared to meet. O. SAUVAUICOT Cheer, boys, cheer! Old Oddir.-'s got the ball, -a cry that often echoed over the field during a tough game. Serv- ing his third year, Oddie has proven his worth beyond question. A fellow who follows the ball and is in on every play, that's Oddie . MERLSE XYl1o blocked that punt? heard on the sidelines and nine times out of ten it was our brilliant young never- say-die tackle, Bernie Mergeg his bull-dog determination and lighting spirit have wrought fear in the hearts of his oppon- This is often ents. C. SAUVAGICOT A fellow whose running is deceptive. who's hard to tackle and who handles the ball cleverly without a fumble, is a rarity, but Cheese Sauvageot isn't an ordinary youth. To these qualities he adds a grit and fighting spirit which are unbeatable. MCGILL NVe all cannot be heroesg there nmst be some who support them. Some must take the brunt of punishment and knocks. Scrubs play a game all of their own, and in this game does Don McGill engage. .X remarkably good lineman! XVREN One of the most quiet and unobtrusive fellows on the squad is our Peach . He's a fellow who's out there every day, and by his grit and that ole fighting spirit , instills new spirit into the hearts of his teammates, a valuable asset to any eleven. RATCLIFFE Say! have you ever seen Raddy run those ends? If you haven't, you have a treat in store for you. At intercepting he's a marvel. Figuring in every play and giv- ing marvelous interference to his team- mates, Raflcly will long be remembered for his skill. 127 -1 VIRGSNIAS BEST FORWARD FAME.

Playing the game hard, fairly, and with a never- say-die spirit, determined to give his utmost to the Gold and Blue, and the colors he bore, Russell Bus LaRue, familiar to all loyal followers of sport, has meant much to Wheeling High School. There wasn't a year out of the four when Bus wasn't holding aloft the ensign of our school. He played four years of baseball, basketball, and football. All of West Virginia knows 'iBus. He was chosen for two consecutive years as the captain and quarterback of the All-State team. 1926 found him a member of the All-State basketball team. lnnumerable honors have been conferred upon him. As a mark of its affection, the Class of '26 dedicates this page to its own mighty Bus 128 omg ,Pa - 5 X ,1.1, Intra-Mural Basketball WHEN asked his opinion of Intra-Mural Basketball, Glenn A. Dowling. Director of Physical Education, said: We consider this one of the most important parts of our athletic program because it makes it possible for more students to take part in athletics, and that, after all, is our aim-to have more athletes. The Intra-Mural League was remarkably successful this year. Not only did the league make it possible for every boy to take part in athletics. but it also created more enthusiasm for all of the basketball games. Sixteen teams, made up of boys from all classes, were formed. The unusual. certainly colorful, names of the teams follow: Hurons, Johns, Eagles, Sammies, Sure Shots, Whiffet Juniors, Bad Boys, Pirates, Horse and Wagon, Missing Links, Whiffets, Doo-Dads. Bear Cats. Hot Dogs, Rinky Dinks, and False Alarms. The sixteen teams were divided into four groups. A tournament followed in which each team played every other team. The winner of each group was determined on a percentage basis. The four winners, Hurons, Whiffet Juniors, Doo-Dads, and Rinky Dinks, played an elimination tournament which resulted in the Hurons winning the championship. The Doo-Dads were the plucky runners-up. Bronze medals were awarded to the following members of the Huron team: Harry Capps, Captain: William Rine: Frank Rine: Charles Mullarkey: Harold Kerr: Thomas Shields: and Stanford Meyer. Bronze basketball pins were awarded to the members of the Doo-Dads. They are as follows: Paul Biery, Captain: Harold Warffuel: Vernon Sacher: Ellwood Witt: Fred Phillips: Harold Kline: and William Sharp. William Zimmerman has the distinction of refereeing every one of these games. The Physical Education Department plans to have a still bigger and better league next year. 129 First row Qleft to riprlxtlz Clara Hamill, Guardg Mary Hamm, Cents-rg Kathryn Irby, Fm-ward.

Girls' Basketball OO MUCH credit cannot be given the girls' basketball team for its brilliant work this season. The girls are the undisputed valley champions and have a good claim to the state title. The team this year was, for the most part, composed of veterans, but it is gratifying to know that there is a reserve squad that is capable, with some training, to pull down many future championships. From the opening game with Hundred to the closing game with Bellaire, the girls displayed that lighting spirit which is so characteristic of all Wheeling teams. Captain Hamm and her maidens were never content merely to defeat a team, but they always showed their superiority by marking up overwhelming scores. Captain Mary Hamm. center, is an outstanding player because of her alert- ness, good sportsmanship, and ability to make speedy and accurate decisions. 130 if N4 Qfjiqy jim T. J ' '-Qi, + 5 1 age- Q 5-X A s Kathryn Irby and Georgianna West, forwards, are the cause of much despair among opposing teams due to their remarkable ability in looping the ball through the little iron ring. Good team-work and accuracy characterize their play. The next to be mentioned is the strong H-E-N Combination composed of Hamill, Ebeling, and Noyes, guards. These three have the reputation of never failing to hold down their opponents' scoring and of rushing the ball in record- ing surplus points. Miss Steinbicker, by her efficient coaching, has produced a wonderful team, and she deserves much praise for the splendid record of the girls which is not marred with one defeat. Sweaters were awarded to: Hamm, Hamill, Noyes, Irby. West, F. Ebeling.

Boys' Basketball AS the 1926 basketball season successful? Well, I should say it Was! With eleven wins and four defeats Wheeling has a record of which to be proud. At the beginning of the season Coach Knight was greeted with Ratcliife, Sauvageot, Emblen, LaRue, and Craig, veterans of the 1925 squad, along with Rogers, Flading, Haberstick, T. Johnson, all of Whom showed to advantage in the early practice season. In the first game of the season Wheeling defeated Hundred 24-10 in a somewhat ragged game, but our season thus far was not marred by defeat. Moundsville was the second victim with our center Big Bad Bill starring from the field. Score 35-12. In their next appearance the Gold and Blue cracks defeated Warwood in a nip and tuck game by the score of 25-19. The first game with Martins Ferry was more a work-out than anything else, for Emblen, LaRue, and Rogers, with the able assistance of the others, marked up a score of 39-12. Raddy and Company licked Bellaire 30 to 26 in a game where the guards worked exceptionally well and Rogers went on a scoring rampage. 132 ff X-4 'kg Fisk ,Wm C9-XL' LJ -tr, . - - , . 5 x I 'LJ' Wheeling secured ample revenge for a little grudge held against Triadelphia by walloping its fioor combination to the tune of 27-15, The report of the Linsly game is not so pleasing, for alas! it was our first defeat, Although Rogers was the highest scorer from the field, Wheeling was unable to count from the foul line, which resulted in the disastrous score of 28-25 in favor of our traditional rival. Hoping to fatten their percentage, Moundsville came to Wheeling, but was forced to return with a 31-26 defeat and the conviction that It couldn't be done. Again Rogers' brilliant work was the day's feature. The return game on the Warwood floor our basketeers lost. Score 22-16. Traveling 'way down-state, the Knightmen gathered in a victory of 34-19 from the Big Reds. The next evening Wheeling tasted defeat by the heartbreaking score of 25-24, at the hands of Huntington, state champs of last year. LaRue was the high scorer for Wheeling. The less said, the better about the next tilt. Linsly defeated Wheeling 33-25, and thus gained the distinction of being the only team to win two in a row from us. The second team with a little assistance from the first romped over Triadel- phia 38-12. . This is one thing Wheeling likes to do and do regularly. 24-19 was the result of our visit to Martins Ferry. Oh, yes! Favor of Wheeling. Sir Jimmy Rogers led the scoring. In a regular football game Wheeling ended the regular basketball season by defeating Bellaire 30-16. Bethany Tournament In the first round of the Bethany State Sectional Tourney Wheeling met the strong Union outfit and defeated it in one of the most exciting games ever played. It was the last few moments of play which gave Wheeling the decision 24-19. Meeting Warwood fwinner of the tournamentj in the next encounter, Wheeling was eliminated by the close score of 27-24. State Tournament In the beginning of the tournament, the Wheeling team defeated East Side Fairmont 26-11. LaRue and Emblen were the scoring aces for Wheeling, and Ratcliffe's defensive work was the cause of much favorable comment. In the second round, Gary succumbed to the fighting spirit of the gallant Knightmen. LaRue, Emblen, and Rogers carried the brunt of the scoring. Score 27-14. We have met the enemy, and they are ours, would have been a fitting remark for Captain Ratcliffe after trouncing the strong Washington-Irving outfit, conquerors of Warwood. According to Captain Ratcliffe, Wheeling played better basketball in this tilt than in any other game this season. Rogers tied Sleepy Glen, Elkins's star, for scoring honors, when he accounted for nine field goals in the game. Score 41-17. fContinued on page 1725 133 TRACK SQUAD arold Meintel, Andrew Edwards, H Bach , H zz rry as Canarella, Thom ppus, John Lane, lliam Bi John Ilomberg, Wi n, il uffm Harry Ruble, George H irst row Cleft to rightjz F , Frederick ll anm, Frank Cornwe D Herbs-rt raig, Boughner, Harry C Gerald os Ewing, Malcolm Moore, pabianco, Jam hCa 5919 Leiphart, Jo Paul Biery, Charles d row: Secon i 5 Q2 ,-'I - ..

N' N - 5 X I -'J ' ' A A U Tennis Since its organization in Wheeling High School last year the interest in tennis has constantly increased until this sport promises to be one of the most important of the athletic program. Many students who otherwise could not take part in athletics have a chance to win the coveted W by participating in this new sport. The tennis courts at the athletic field on the Island have been prepared so that matches can be held there. , Miss Elizabeth Steinbicker agreed to coach the girls' team this year and Mr. Ross Michener took over the boys'. Because of their brilliant work on the court last season, Gertie Noyes and Eddie Craig, seniors, were chosen to captain the two tennis teams. The members chosen by an elimination tournament are as follows: Girls- H. Noyes, F. Ebeling, M. Ebeling, M. Fisher, Wood, Irby, Majesky. Boys- Warffuel, Sharp, F. Dobbs, Front, Grounds, C. Ewing. Swimming SWIMMING, introduced last year into Wheeling High School by Miss Beth Wiley, has become one of the most important parts of our athletic program. ' The contest held last year at the close of the season in the Y. W. C. A. pool, in which Ig McKee walked away with practically all honors, probably accounts for the great increase in the interest in swimming which is evidenced by the large number of girls who have signed up for the classes this year. This season the classes are under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Steinbicker, who has the Monday afternoon classes, and Miss Beth Wiley, who has the Thursday afternoon classes. The classes, which are limited to twenty-five in number, are held for begin- ners and advanced pupils. The various strokes are taught along with diving and life-saving. Attractive suits of gold and blue will be procured for the teams, which will compete with other schools in the valley. A brilliant season is predicted for the Gold-Blue mermaids. The teams will be chosen from the following girls: Willa Cole, M. Beiswenger, Nama Wolfe, Viola Nail, Helen Nesbitt, Audrey Martin, Mary Seitter, Kathryn Seybold, Betty Kunz, Eleanor Carnahan, Clara Mount, Verne Bero, Margaret Knabe, Mona Henderson, Evelyn Nolte, Harriet Murrin, Anna Marie Check, Margaret Hawkins, Mildred Faethe, Jane Boughner, Elizabeth McKee, Myra Thomas, Helen Schlesinger, Ruth Ungaro, Wilma Howard, Evelyn Rauschenberger, Elizabeth Horse, Geneva Duncan, Nancy Snodgrass, Margaret Albright, Anne McConnell, Katherine Bennett, Marie Johnson, Dorothy Millison, Frances Ebeling, Eleanor Bycott, Mary Katherine Rine, Mary Davis, Leah Fredericks, Mary Nuzum, Antoinette Haller, Marcella Sherman, Frances Clark, Elizabeth Hogue, Augusta Mae Meagle, Katherine Jones, M. E. Dunlavy, Lillian Weiss, Martha Davis, Helen Martin, Kathleen Potts, Elizabeth Kaiser, Edith Weinstein, Suzanne Noyes, Gertrude Noyes, Dorothy West, Betty Hall, Nellie Bero, Eleanor Bing, La Vaughn Dennison, Louise Sutton, Virginia Gardner, Jeanette Muhleman, Elizabeth Carpenter, Marian, Schaefer, Electra Molis, Oudia Eskin, Betty Baxter, N. Kampfer, Grace Nething, Ruth Graham, Helen Straight, Irma Dorah, Aileen Sharp, Virginia Wiley. 136 1,5 UEIY1 MJ ca, X 0 gtk Ffa sf f T The Annual Contest DURING the opening week of the ANNUAL campaign a popularity contest was launched that attracted the attention and held the interest of everyone. Pretty pink ballots resembling real election ballots were distributed in chapel, enabling everyone to make the nominations for the girl and the boy who have done the most for Wheeling High School in athletics and the girl and the boy who have done the most for the school in other activities. From the first five of each group of nominees each student who subscribed to the ANNUAL was given one chance to choose the four who were his candi- dates. This final voting aroused great interest and the Sl.35's literally flew into headquarters! Bus LaRue was chosen by an almost unanimous vote as the boy who has done most for W. H. S. in athletics. Clint Carrico took second place and was followed by Jimmie Rogers, Otte Sauvageot, and Harry Craig. Kenneth Cameron, editor-in-chief of The Record, took the lead for doing the most for W. H. S. in other fields. Others receiving many votes were Clint Carrico, Bob Herzer, Don Reed, and Budd Haberstick. Chosen to represent the girls in athletics, was Kathryn Irby, closely followed by Georgianna Joe VJest, Wheeling's big gun. Captain Hamm was next in order with Clara Hamill and Frances Ebeling following. To prove that girls also took part in every activity, Marian I-Ialler, Gertrude Noyes, Catherine Manion, Mary Morgan, and Florence Buss were nominated. During her four years in school Kathryn Irby has taken particular interest in basketball, and as one of the regulars for the three successive years of triumph that the Gold and Blue girls have experienced, she has established a reputation as Wheeling's Little Forward and a good sport. She has also taken an interest in tennis and swimming. Marion I-Ialler is rightfully entitled to the name of artist. She has done exceptional work in the ceramic department, and has turned out many note- worthy products, of which a bust of Dr. Githens is especially fine. She con- tributed many splendid sketches for the ANNUALS of '25 and '26 which serve as sufficient proof of her unusual talent. As editor-in-chief of The Record, Kenneth Cameron has labored unceasingly for the glory of Wheeling High School and all those within its walls. He has always been an enthusiastic supporter of every worthy movement started in the school. Besides taking a great interest in outside activities such as clubs and scout work, he has led the high school in scholarship this last year. Bus LaRue has passed through his four years of high school life with a most astounding record. He is rightfully termed an all-sport man. In football, he Won fame as quarterback and captain '25 and '26. Bus was All- Valley shortstop in '22, All-Valley quarterback of the Wheeling News Team '24, '25, '26, All-Tournament forward at Bethany '25, a member of the All- Tournament second team at Buckhannon '25, and All-State forward in '26. 138 A -,S N ' Kathrrgn Elrhgj Krnnrth Uamrrnn fl X Euanril Eaillne mariaxglflgllm' , QE57ra H-a-F 5 ' 4 j, 1 ' Phyllis Amos..

We entered upon greater activities, carried more work, and some of us even had our first love affairs. Our school made wonderful studies in music under a new leader, Mr. F. Oliver Edwards, and in dramatics with Miss Beth Wiley. The crowning event of the year was our first Junior- Senior Promenade, on a hot day in June. With joy, but all too soon for some, we became dignified seniors and began to realize the hopes of previous years. We again organized, keeping Clint Carrico as president, with Budd Haberstick for vice-president, and Florence Buss as our secretary. As excellent seniors we immediately chose a class play, ordered rings and pins, and chose an Annual staff. We staged The Goose Hangs High and were not too modest to say that we considered it the best play ever put on. Our senior year has been one of superlatives. The outstanding event was the victory of our football team, which brought the first state championship for many years. It is with pride that we graduate with the captain of that team. the mighty Bus LaRue. The staging of Nancy Lee was another feature of our Uannus mirabilisf' The Boys' Glee Club Minstrel and the Passing Show were likewise highest triumphs in stage work. Thus we close our history of four years. Often we shall look back with fondest memories upon the happenings here, for in a large measure, this has been the turning point in many of our lives, Here we have caught a vision and come to have a clearer idea of life. The past is gone, and now We pass on to even greater things which will come as a corollary to this wonderful epoch in our lives. With sorrow and with happiness we look back upon four of the best years of our lives. 152 Drink all the coffee you want if it's GRAINS CE HEALTH HEALTHIFIED COFFEE Goes twice as far a pound as ordinary coffee Grains of Health Products Co.

It seemed that Point Pleasant had all the lucky breaks, and Carr, midget forward, ran wild. Sad to relate, Wheeling was eliminated by the score of 30-18. Undoubtedly, Wheeling had one of the finest teams at the tournament and it was generally agreed, the best coached. All of the men taken down-state were given a chance in all the games and Wheeling was honored by having a man named on the All-Tournament first team nad one named on the All-Tournament second team.

CBoys' Basketball, Continued from Page l72j Wheeling was a favorite to win the championship this year, and, although she failed, it is gratifying to know that her fine playing was appreciated by other schools besides our own. Buckhannon and Weston high schools heartily backed Wheeling through the entire tournament. Basketball Team Ratcliffe, guard, was a capable leader as well as a strong defensive player. Sauvageot, guard, was also strong on the defense. These two formed a defensive combination capable of breaking up almost any team's scoring machine. Emblen, center, proved a dangerous obstacle to any opposing team.

So should YOUR life be built. Specialization is the order of the day. But in your eagerness to rear the specialized structure, do not overlook the necessity for a broad, funda- ngengal training upon which, it must rest, if it is to withstand the storms 0 lie. The Small College can best help you to lay your foundation for success. There you will receive individual attention ,in your preparation. Quality-not quantity-is the aim of this institution. MARIETTA COLLEGE is an ideal Small College. Situated in beautiful, historic Marietta, its traditions have their roots deep in the early development of our country. The spirit of its Pioneers still per- vades the atmosphere of its ivy-covered walls. The student body is small enough that you, the individual, are not lost in the crowd, yet large enough to hold its own in contests with other colleges. The buildings, laboratories and library are well equipped. Ample facilities are provided for each student. The Faculty is able. The ex- penses are moderate. D The standards and requirements are very high and only earnest students are desired. Write, today, for the catalog and illustrated literature.
