Between these covers, you will find yourself and your friends in many different scenes and situations. We hope that in later years this book will recall to you fond memories of happy days and cherished friends. Since this is the main purpose of any annual, we present as our theme, school life. We have endeavored here to depict the principle aspects of life as we students continue to carry on the traditions of rattle-trap jallopies, football enthusiasm, and fear of exams. You are holding in your hands one year of your life which you may bring to mind at any time. We sincerely hope that this year will live with you in the following pages of the Oracle. DEDICATION To this years football team, we proudly dedicate the 1947 Oracle, also a word of commendation to the coaches who helped make the football season so successful We desire to show our. appreciation and to give a full measure of applause to the team ' s honest endeavor toward good clean fun.

The upper-classmen wondered too What such small fry would turn out to do. We proceeded to give the skate of the year, And then a dance that brought a cheer. We elected officers with the greatest of care And launched a happy high school career. Oh wonder of wonders we returned in the fall, And promptly proceeded to amaze us all . . . Ahem! We sponsored the movie ' Toledo Tomorrow, And second place on Field Day brought great Laurels. As luniors we gave a successful play. And received the class rings—Oh joyful day! The Junior Prom followed next in line. And gee! This sure is hard to rhyme! Now we are Seniors, oh joy and bliss. To the teachers that passed us we throw a kiss. Civics and English are now a thing of the past And with gladness and sorrow we are free at last. But oh, much to cur great sorrow. Graduation Day is tomorrow. And we will have to leave our dear old school, So kind friends we bid you all ADIEU!

Both were a big success. We ' ve done our best so far and now we will strive for higher goals. Isn ' t it wonderful that we will soon attain the coveted name Senior ? It won ' t be long now!

As we launched into our Sophomore year we were more confident of our¬ selves and a little more at home in Whitmer ' s halls! So far we have sponsored an after game dance and many other class activities. When the Juniors got their rings, we looked at them and proudly said, next year, we will be upperclassmen and get our rings. So with that thought in mind we ' ll breeze through our Sophomore year, looking forward to two more happy and eventful years at Whitmer.

The upperclassmen stood around with a glint in their eyes waiting for that dreadful week of ' ' initiation. ' ' Our first difficult matters were ironed out by our advisor Mr. Walker. We also owe many thanks to the rest of Whitmer ' s teachers for their help. Among some of the events of the year were the freshmen skate and after game dance. Everyone enjoyed the dance very much. We, freshmen are get¬ ting along fine now, and we hope to have three more successful years at Whitmer.

The Whitmer school paper, the ' ' Flying W , discontinued in 1941, was re¬ vived last September when the school added a journalism class to its curric¬ ulum. The journalism class, under the guidance of Miss Mary Monahan, published an issue once each month. Although the staff is composed entirely of members of the journalism class, anyone who wishes may contribute articles. The re¬ sponsibility of putting out a paper was completely new to the members of the staff this year, but next year ' s class will receive the benefits of this year ' s experience. The purpose of a school paper is to promote school spirit and bring about a better understanding between the students and the faculty. If we, of the journ¬ alism class, have contributed in some small way to the betterment of school spirit, we shall have accomplished our purpose. THE HfTlONAL HONOR SOCIETY OF 1946 FIRST ROW: J.

Each year students who best represent all four of these qualities are chosen from the junior and senior classes. 70 HONOR SOCIETY FIRST ROW: B. Hodges, V. Elder, R. Wille, A.

The new members are chosen on this basis. In order to be chosen for this society you must be ranking in the upper one- third of your class. From the upper one-third you are chosen by the faculty according to how you characterize ideals of the society. At the induction ceremony there were eight Juniors and eight Seniors in¬ ducted.

Our president, Mary Entenman, with the aid of her cabinet and com¬ mittees make it possible for our club to be such a success. The fans of the foot¬ ball games are very enthusiastic over the selling of pom-poms and football pins. They really add color to the game. A few of the brave girls take up horse back riding lessons at Douglas Mea¬ dows. They have loads of fun and stiff joints in the process of learning. October is a busy month for the club—with a hayride and a Halloween dance at the Civic Center. Our next big event is at Christmas when the Junior Y-Teens put their heads with ours and come out with a Christmas assembly for all. We still have more fun up our sleeve and prove it by giving a Mistletoe dance. The Mother ' s and Daughter ' s Banquet in May brings an end to all our good times. We will always associate fun with our club. Y-Teens gives us a better understanding of each other and all races. 73 JONIOR Y-TEENS _ 1 [ ■ 1 i 1 L o i 1 59 1 J FIRST ROW: V. Stratton, N. Thompson, M.

Wednesday evening after school is the time for bowling, and Twin Oaks Bowling alleys is the place. To make the season more interesting, prizes are given for individual and feam ratings.

The purpose of the club is to promote general knowledge through the collec¬ tion of stamps and to increase knowledge in geography and history. To join the club and to become an active member, it is necessary to have a stamp collection or to begin one immediately. Members of the club sponsor a stamp exhibition. Everyone is greatly sur¬ prised to learn how interesting a stamp collection can be. Members also enjoy a ' ' Stamp Party at which everyone exchanges stamps and discusses exper¬ iences. Honorary members of the faculty are Mr. Marks, Mrs. Mead, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Schlegel, and Miss Kern. |! 1 SCIENCE CLUB FIRST ROW: M. Ellis, Secretary; A. Blasingame, D. Schwartz, J.

' The band has played at the home and out of town football games. Besides this they have helped out in many assemblies and plan to participate in the Lucas County Music Festival. Accompaning the band are our major and majorettes. This is the first year we have had a major, and we are very proud of him. The biggest project of this year, however, is the purchasing of new uniforms. There has been a campaign to raise the money and most of it has been secured. MAJORETTES MAJORETTES: N. Thompson, M. Enbody, B. Gillespie, J. Wehmeyer, R. Amtsbuechler, E. Amts- buechler, V. Stratton. Tribute This year the majorettes, under the capable leadership of Johnny Weh¬ meyer, our first drum major, led our band through a successful football season. This is to congratulate them on their rythmic strutting ability. For the Seniors who will not be returning we give a hearty thanks. To the others we will be looking forward to seeing you again next year. THE A CAPPELLA CHOIR This year the A Capella choir completes its third successful year of singing for pleasure and entertainment. Under the capable direction of Mr. Clyde L. Brown the choir first presents a Christmas Concert. The choir ' s traditional caroling through the halls creates a little more Christmas spirit for each of us. At the start of the New Year the choir settles down to practicing for the May Festival at Rossford and also to practicing for its annual music assembly. Each and every one of its activities prove to be a tremendous success. As the last notes of the A Capella choir die each person will be proud to say that he is a part of this wonderful organization. 90 LI— II II FRESHMEN GIRLS GLEE CLOB I I I ( I 1 II FIRST ROW: M.

It is a formal affair and the girls look lovely as they sing the popular Christmas songs. Betty Gillespie reads the well known Christmas story and Roberta Peterson plays the piano. A short time after the holiday season the girls start working on the numbers for the May Festival and the music assembly. With the constant guidance of Mr. Clyde L. Brown they finally master them, thus ending a very successful season. DRUMS OF DEATH” Carole Kilbride .Celeste Donald Meyers ....

In a half ruined mansion in the desolate lagoon, are weird forces and strange people threatening the lives of oddly contrasting characters. Bailey, a relative disappeared. A half-mad housekeeper; Celeste, who has weird trances; a surley Haitian Negro; and Harley, questionably feared or trusted, are accosted. Ghosts, monsters, and a gooded figure threaten. The crackle of laughter at the absurdities of the sheriff and the saucy Amelia break the tension of the mystery-comedy. 94 S DATE WITH JUDY Virginia Elder.Judy Foster Roger Sutherland . . . .Melvin Foster Arlis Fischer .Dora Foster Harold Roe .Randolph Foster Dorothy Schwartz .Hannah Esther Morrette . .Barbara Winsocket Bill Taylor .Oogie Pringle Margaret Becker.Mitzi Hoffman Bob Freeman ‘.Mr. Martindale Pat Hamilton .Mrs. Hotchkiss Beverly Wagner . . .Eloise Hotchkiss Irene Summers . .

Our Date With Judy begins, a play adapted from the radio program by the same name. Loveable, teenage Judy and her family are like every other American family, only Judy ' s clever schemes seem to provide a few more laughs. Judy ' s precocious kid brother, Randolph, holds a laugh in every line. Her mother becomes a lively lady and Mr. Foster acquires kissable lips, but Judy ' s real trouble is with Oogie Pringle, the man in her life. Only Judy could go through all that she does—and how she does it makes a most delightful, laughable comedy. 95 MASQUE GAVEL FIRST ROW; J. Hageman, C. Ford, R. Sutherland, Treasurer; A.

M. marked our first initiation of Masque and Gavel, the Na¬ tional High School Recognition Society for the Promotion of Speech for Use. After the initiation, a tea was served by Miss Kern, instructor of home economics, and her students. As interested speech students, we were pleas¬ ed when we heard the application of our school lor a charter had been approved by the Nation¬ al Board of Trustees. Masque and Gavel Society was created to serve and to honor secondary school students and teachers interested in better oral usage of American English. It was formed in the spring of 1940 by - a representative group of high school teachers and faculty members of the Northwestern University School of Speech only 96 after an extensive examination of the needs in the field. The founders desired to provide a bet¬ ter speech motivation for all students. The so¬ ciety has two important aspects; 1. Honor to the individual student. 2. Service to the high school and to the com¬ munity by the honored student. Motto: Speech for Use Colors: Royal Blue and White. Our officers served as our founder group , initiating twenty students. Our total member¬ ship is twenty-five pupils. Activity leaders for this year are: Juniors Debate.Joann Marks Oratory .Esther Morrette Readings .Marilyn Lee Panel Discussion ..Wayne Riley Plays .Virginia Elder Seniors Albert Weiss Joyce Hagemann Doris Grodi, Dick Bair Speech Club Instructor .Miss Wirick Faculty Advisors.Miss Gerity, Miss Loehrke DEBATE CLOD FIRST ROW: R, Bair, V.

Joann Marks and Albert Weiss are co-captains. Betty Gillespie, third place winner in the State Prince of Peace Contest in 1946, was again a winner in the national finals of the Knights of Pythias Contest. This being an oratorical contest, she wrote an original ten minute speech on the topic, Five Milestones in the Progress of My Country.” Betty ' s first meet was in Toledo on March 27, 1946 in competition with seven other pupils from various high schools in the neighborhood of Toledo. Having placed first in the local contest she won a gold pin and a pen and pencil set for herself and a plaque for Whitmer. Following her state triumph over nine other contestants at Coumbus on April 27, Betty went to Lafayette, Indiana, where she also emerged the victor in the sectional contest May 28. From this victory she went to the regional contest staged in Baltimore, Mary¬ land, where, in competition with other contestants -from all states east of the Mississippi, she again walked off with top honors. Competing in the national finals held in connection with the National Con¬ vention of the Supreme Lodges of the Knights of Pyfhias at Tulsa, Oklahoma, on August 10 she was awarded a $250 scholarship for having won third place in the nation.

Whitmer had twenty-one entries in her second year of participation in the State Prince of Peace Contest. Four local contests were held. Joann Marks won first place and Wayne Riley second at the Reformation Lutheran Church, on Sunday, November 3. Ramona Anderson and Doris Grodi won first and second places respectively at Trilby Mpthodist Church on the same date. On Sunday, November 10, Pat Walker won first and Joyce Hageman won second at Augsburg Lutheran Church. Our fourth contest was again held at Trilby Methodist Church on November 10 with Phyllis Thomas winning first and Arlis Fischer sceond. Each one of these local winners received a bronze medal as an award. On December 8, Joann Marks represented the school in the county contest as East- minister Presbyterian Church, Pat Walker at Calvary Evangelical United Breth- ern Church, and Phyllis Thomas and Ramona Anderson at Trinity Baptist Church. Even though we did not have a State Winner this year, we feel satisfied with the outstanding improvement of a large number of pupils. An added feature this year was recording the speeches of these contestants. 98 PANEL DISCDSSIOHS During the past year members of the Whitmer Speech Club competed in three panel discussions. Our first discussion wofe held with girls from Whitney Vocational High School on January twenty-eighth. This discussion was broadcasted over the facilities of station WTOL on the program, Toledo Junior Town Meeting. Deliv¬ ering speeches on the question, Are Youthful Marriages Wise? were: Betty Gillespie, affirmative, Dick Bair, negative, and Albert Weiss, non-committal. Those serving on the panel were: Joann Marks, Esther Morrette, Wayne Riley, Roberta Peterson, Pat Walker, Arlis Fischer, Nancy Swartz, Pat Miller, and Phyl¬ lis Thomas. Our next meeting, conducted for the Child Conservation League of Trilby Methodist Church on March 3, discussed this same question. Our speakers were Joann Marks and Pat Walker affirmative, Arlis Fischer and Dick Bair, negative, Albert Weiss, non-committal and Wayne Riley, moderator. The panel consisted of Esther Morrette, Nancy Swartz, Roberta Peterson, Pat Miller, Mari¬ lyn Lee, Suzetta Fling. The final discussion of the year was the Toledo-Cambridge Trans-Atlantic Broadcast, again by the auspices of the Junior Town Meeting., We, of Whitmer, were allowed to send two speakers to discuss the question, Can compulsory military service be made an asset to youth? Chosen were: Betty Gillespie, af¬ firmative and Wayne Riley, negative. Of the twenty-nine pupils from fifteen schools, Wayne was selected as first alternate speaker for the negative. There was a very close decision between Wayne and the chosen negative speaker. Wayne was given prominence by serving on the panel along with three other alternates and by sitting on the stage with the affirmative and the negative speakers. $ 100 1. Sharon Orns 2. Chick Ford 3.

These, including the ladder pyramids and Helen Maris on the slack wire, were cleverly combined with rhythm work by the girls and tumbling by the boys. Shorty Meadows stole the clown act, but Dennis Bryant, Ted Bucher, A1 Stevens, Johnny Sutherland, and Bob Enciso were all close seconds. Pat Walker and Helen Steusloff were the much laughed at females. With Albert Weiss as master of ceremonies and Mr. Clyde Brown with our Whitmer band, we feel that this years circus was a huge success. However, we realize that it could never have been possible without the skillfull and care¬ ful guidance of Miss Fisher and Mr. Stacy. We sincerely hope that their head¬ aches were not too big this year and that they will be in there pitching next year for another successful performance. 7 % ff- . V - ' S LIGHTWEIGHTS First Row: R.
