His is the task f complishment of the stu- o observing the ' s of his fellow st d analyzing th ' aims and ac u ents and of his teachers and of em according to his proved stand The work which a publ resents d ard of news value. ication such as The 1950 Oracl oes not begin to be reflected i ' ' hours of attention to d ' ' th e rep- n the finished book. The etanl, the weeks of planning and executing ese plansg and the uncounted hopes, wonderment, and dreams of the staff are all here, although no picture and no legend prop- erly reflects this part of the journalist's life. That the effort has been worthwhile from our standpoint is evident from the knowledge that the job is done as well as it could be completed. This is the only compensation which a good jour- nalist could ask for his work. May the satisfaction of The indi- vidual student who finds herein the record of his current year at Whitmer High School be of equal value. -A . H. ilice Publislwsr C011 fell fri FOREWORD --- DEDICATION .... ADMINISTRATION --- FACULTY ....... CLASSES ...... ORGANIZATION --- ATHLETICS --- K3 xv C : ln 1930, the first yearbook of Whitmer was published for the 209 students who then comprised the total enrollment of the school. The date l95O marks the halfway point of the great 20th century and also the 20th year or China Anni- versary of the Oracle. Even though the China of today is in a tragic condition, the great d!7s and events of China's past still live on. It has been noted many times that some of the great sayings and proverbs spoken thousands of years ago in old China are still applicable to our everyday life. Probably the greatest of these philosophers was Confucius who lived about 500 B. C. ln the following pages will be found some thoughts of Confucius on life and education, along with a few sketches of Chinese life. fs K A l Wm X E555 ,lafeafis .5 S 4 Vv J Z Jqglg X 1, l :beckett fion Arden C. Walker has been well known in the Washington Township School system as Director of Guidance. He is a licensed state psychologist, with his work being of the utmost importance. His central theater of oper- ations is Whitmer High School, but it has extended to all of Washington Township Schools. To enumerate all the services Mr. Walker does for the Township would be impossible, but the most important are: to administer,score, and inter- pret psychological tests, to maintain cumulative records of the problems and vital statistics of the students, and to discover and treat cases ofmental maladjustment. A large part of his work must go unpublicized because of its confidential nature. Besides his many activities, Mr. Walker's busy schedule includes his role of Senior Class Advisor this year. He is a friend of all and helper of many. He well deserves all the praise which is accorded to him. ln February, Mr. Walker was appointed Principal of Whitmer High School to succeed Elmer P. Marks who resigned to complete graduate work at the University of Toledo. ln his new position, Mr. Walker has even greater opportunity to serve the community he has known and served for several years. His students and faculty associates wish him well. This Oracle is dedicated to him. -The Staff HK Ah-h-I1-h Food Oh! Those Feat M roars .szcfion Qf wifmer Big Top Qulet, minirifrafion MR HAROLD M. RYDER Superintendent of Lucas County l m happy to say to the Editorial Staff of the Whitmer Or- acle that I believe the Educational Philosophy of each individual should include a desire to be of greatest help to our associates High School training should expand this desire to help. My ob- servation leads me to the belief that Whitmer High School ex- emplifies high characteristics of ambition and student living. MR EARL B. DRIVER Superintendent of Washington Township lt is with the feeling of pardonable pride, that we approach the issuance of another Oracle. l say pardonable pride because of our constantly improving and expanding program. This is evi- dent in many such things as our Oracle, the Flying W, ath- letic and other extra curricular programs as well as in the academic lt has been gratifying too, to note the increasing feeling of unity or oneness in our entire school system. This seems to be manifest among both students and patrons. As Superintendent of Schools my greatest hope is that we can go on in an ever increasing quantity of cooperation of all of the factors and attributes that contrijbute to a good school system. H. M. Ryder. A MR. ELMER MARKS Retiring Principal of Whitmer High School Education is that factor of the mind, body and soul that enables you to live in the great heritages of the past, to build upon the great ambitions of the present and to complete the beautiful structure upon the ideologies of the future. This everyone can accomplish by listening to the man who knows and by never laugh- ing at new ideas although realizing that popular notions are al- ways wrong. Yet, through his emotions, feelings, and ambitions, he is able to feel his way and fit himself into the ideas of the future and through it all maintain the highest natural level of happiness, usefulness and good to all mankind.

Many have become good citizens to their com- munity. Without the help of the faculty, our education would not be as far advanced as it is today. We sincerely hope we can make use of the many things you have taught us. We extend our deepest gratitude for the splendid job you have performed. W X is j s fififfe' O ei .FE-5 Q? VIVIAN M.

'AS Q I4 f 4 at X Q9 fi? Cfarid .ilidfory The Class of l95O made its debut in September, 1946, as the usual timid Freshmen. One hundred and eighty-five strong, we were the object of the traditional ridicule that is dealt to all Freshmen. We presented a suc- cessful skate and a dance this year, under the capable supervision of our class advisor, Mr. Arden Walker. As sophomores, we were no doubt, as sophisticated as that class usually is. We had a skate and contributed to the upper classes' activities. Then came the crowning moment of every student's life, when he leaves the ranks of lower-classmen. We were juniors. We selected our flower , the white rose, and our colors, scarlet and silver. We chose our class motto, Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers, With this in mind, we prepared for the events of the coming year. With great anticipation we joyfully entered our Senior year. Senior classes may come and go, but each one never ceases to cherish a hope that it is the best. The first events of our Senior year were our play, pictures, the Washington trip, and the adopting of the Scholarship Fund. In the spring came the last lap of breathless activity. Consultations concerning colleges, committee meetings, ordering of announcements, the Junior-Senior Party, the Prom-to say nothing of those final events, the Baccalaureate and Commencement services, which left us for a time with a jumbled array of sad and happy thoughts. We are leaving the halls and rooms we had known so well, the incom- parable guidance of Mr. Marks, Mr. Walker, Mrs. Schlegel and all the other well loved teachers. The class of nineteen hundred and fifty sadly, yet very proudly, says farewell to dear old Whitmer, and wishes her the best of luck in the coming years.

Mrs. Sutton neglects her daughters for politics leaving them in charge of her private secretary. Henrietta is the eighth secretary of the Sutton's residence. The girls dubb her Hennie the Eighth. The daughters try to initiate Henrietta into the duties of a personal maid, however, Henrietta has her own ideas. A newspaper story breaks disclosing Henrietta as a famous novelist who posed as a secretary to study the Sutton family as copy for her new book. Her interest turns to affection and she stays on to solve their problems, even their love affairs, bringing peace and maturity to the household. CAST Henrietta Carver ..................... M.

The trophy is designed to stimulate more in- terest in the field of sports and to urge every boy at Whitmer to be an outstanding athlete. The trophy was awarded last year to Larry Yarger, '49, who competed in football, basketball and baseball. Dale Crow was a noted athlete at Whitmer and the University of Toledo, and later joined the Maize and Blue teaching staff before going into the navy.

There have been various activities in which the Whitmer students have taken part and have acquired honors, such as one-act plays, panel discus- sions and the Ohio High School Speech League contest. There are also the annual Junior and Senior plays. This year the Seniors presented l Remem- ber Mama an outstanding play with a cast of 25, and the Juniors presented Henrietta the Eighth, a very modern play with a cast of 22.

The Panthers drew Rossford and Maumee as op- ponents. Both games ended scoreless although Whitmer displayed a huge forward wall and a speedy backfield. Whitmer 18-Napoleon 6 Whitmer showed that its Panthers were to be a tough opponent at the end of this hard fought gridiron spectacle. Both teams tallied in the first period. Ronnie Stahl connected on a pass to Jim Mohn for the Panthers' first score. Another Stahl pass to George Curson gave us a l2-6 lead in the second period. A l5-yard gallop took Danny Kramer over for the final score in the last period. Whitmer 39-Bowling Green 6 Whitmer literally demolished the Bee Gee's with Ronnie Stahl tak- ing to the air to connect with Dave Whiteaker, George Curson, and Ken Yarger in the first two periods. Bowling Green recovered a fumble in the opening period and went on to score. Jimmy Mohn, Al Striggow, and Dale Wingate each ran for a score for the home team. Whitmer 27-Clay 'I4 Whitmer chalked up their first G.N.C. game by trouncing Clay. Jim Mohn was outstanding on the first line plays by running for two of Whitmer's scores. A fifteen yard pass from Stahl to Whiteaker added another score for the Panthers. Al Striggow tallied on the other touchdown. Whitmer 68-Rossford 6 Whitmer rolled over Rossford for the greatest defeat in G.N.C. history with Jimmy Mohn and Danny Kramer for two. Many other Whitmer boys sprinted for scores to show the conference the Panthers were ready for all oncomers. Varsity Vic Jim Ilbickll llskipll Whitmer 39-Monroe Central 6 The Panthers came back after a bad first half to roll their weight and speed over Monroe Central. Scoring at Monroe was Danny Kramer with two ,and Al Striggow, George Curson, Jerry Klatt, and Bill Nelson with a touch-down each. Klatt sent two kicks through the goal post and Jack Graham added a third point. Whitmer 26-Perrysburg 20 lt seemed the breaks were all against the Panthers eleven as they went to the showers in the second period behind at 7-O. Our boys showed that they were unbeatable no matter how the game was played. Jerry Klatt scored on a pass play while Jimmy Mohn racked up two scores and George Curson one. Mohn's last score was on a 60 yard run around his own left end. Whitmer3l-Maumee24 Whitmer racked up a fifth great Northern Conference win and a sixth headline as they rebuffed Maumee on the rivals field. ln this game Whitmer took to everything but the sea with Klatt hitting on lO of l8 passes. George Curson plunged over for the first score in the first period. In the second quarter Al Striggow tallied on a line plunge. Jerry Klatt flipped one to George Curson for another score. Curson and Striggow both tallied in the last half for a score of each. A Whitmer fumble over our goal which was recovered by Maumee caused nation- wide publicity. Whitmer 4'l-Sylvania Burnham 12 The Panthers of Whitmer High School won the I949 Great North- ern Conference League by smashing Sylvania. This gave our boys an undefeated season. Mohn proved to be a fleetfooted demon as he ran for three scores. Al Striggow, Jerry Klatt, and Dave Whiteaker con- tributed one each. ii V IIEIII llswabbvll Willie llbannyll Jerry As.

Basketball is one of the fastest of sports, re- quiring a strong physical body, a brave heart, stout lungs, with a great deal of endurance. The Whitmer team prepared carefully for the l949-50 season with drilling in the fundamentals and fine points of the game. With seven men from last season's varsity and a wealth of new material, Coach Al Alvarez developed a real fighting Whit- mer team. . Courf Clampa Whitmer 34-Central 48 ln a practice game preliminary to the regular season, Whit- mer lost to Toledo Central Catholic with a score of 48 to 34. Although Central led most of the way, Whitmer twice held a brief margin. At the intermission, Central was leading 26 to l8.

Whitmer 25--DeVilbiss 29 Whitmer went down to a fighting defeat in the second loss of the season. The tall DeVilbiss club, with a slight height advantage over the Whit- mer quintet exhibited a dangerous fast break, but erratic passing and trouble hitting on its attempts kept the score surprisingly low. Dave Whiteaker meshed eight points. ln the preliminary game DeViIbiss beat Whitmer, 49 to 22. Whitmer 33-Clay 16 We won our second Great Northern Conference victory at the expense of Clay, 33 to l6. Coach Al Alvarez used l6 men as Dave Whiteaker tallied I5 points. Clay won the preliminary contest, 27 to 24. Whitmer 28-Fremont St. Joseph 20 Although they played a ragged game, Whitmer came through to top the Fremont team. As individuals, the players were going great guns, but the teamwork was conspicious by its absence. This was remedied in the second half, and the improvement in. team play was clearly visible as they all shared scoring honors. 26. Fremont St. Joseph's Lightweights took the preliminary contest, 3l to u Hey, it's my turn!! Whitmer 38- Sylvania-Burnham 24 Playing our old rivals we rolled over Sylvania-Burnham, 38 to 24.

Although the Whitmer- ites battled their best against overwhelming odds, they bowed to Ottawa Hills, 30 to 43. Scoring honors were well divided among the team mern- bers. Whitmer Lightweights set the pace with a 24 to 21 win. Whitmer 39-Holland 30 Whitmer subdued Holland in a non-league tilt to the score of 39 to 30. The Whitmer cagers had a hard time trying to find the rim, but despite this handicap they went on to win. Whit- mer won the Lightweight tilt, 40 to 28. Another basket .... Whitmer 36-Maumee 39 Maumee loomed as Great Northern Conference favorite by upsetting Whitmer, 36 to 33, in the Whitmer gym. This was Whitmer's first league loss in four starts. The boys could blame no one but themselves for missing 21 of 33 free throw chances. Miller and Whiteaker tossed in 9 and 8 points respectively. The Lightweights succumbed to the Maumee Lightweights, 41 to 46. Whitmer 39-Perrysburg 37 Perrysburg gave Whitmer a scare but Glenn Miller made his only basket of the game in the last'35 seconds to break a 37 to 37 deadlock and win for Whitmer, 39 to 37. Jerry Klatt notched 14 points, 13 of them in the second half. Dave Whiteaker also tossed in 13. The Lightweights triumphed over the Perrysburg five, 34 to 22.

Whitmer 72-Clay 56 Whitmer Panthers snapped out of their slump with a 72 to 56 rout of Clay. Jerry Klatt swished in l6 points. Credit also is due to the floor men. The Whitmer Lightweights bowed to Clay to the score of 4l to 44. Whitmer 45-Scott 39 Whitmer gained its first win over a city school this season as we turned back Scott, 45 to 39. The Panthers led all the way with a 22 to l6 at half- time margin. Miller and Whiteaker were leading scorers with l2 and l8 points respectively. The Lightweights also beat Scott Lightweights, 47 to 'l8. Whitmer 57-Sylvania-Burnham 34 Whitmer climbed into first place with a 7 to l record to Maumee's 6 to l thumping Sylvania-Burnham, 57 to 34. The boys played a wonderful game, showing some excellent teamwork. Jerry Klatt was high tallymaker for the evening, with 20 points. Whitmer Lightweights held their end by defeating Sylvania Light- weights, 36 to 26. Whitmer 38-Maumee 36 Whitmer defending champions, came in for at least a share of the l949-50 crown in the G.N.C. by edging Maumee, 38 to 36. Whitmer made 12 of I8 shots at the foul line while Maumee hit 6 of 9. Maumee outscored us from the field, hitting I5 to our 13. Kolinski and Whiteaker did a fine job controlling the backboards while Klatt, Mohn, and Miller played a fine offensive and defensive game also. The points were well divided up, among the five team members. The Maumee Lightweights won the opener, 43 to 3l. Whitmer 61-Perrysburg 47 We captured our second undisputed Great Northern Conference basket- ball championship by routing Perrysburg, 6l to 47. lt was Whitmer's ninth win in ten conference games. The first quarter score was tight, l8 to l6, but by half-time the score read 27 to l8. Jim Mohn contributed l4 points, and his teammates Whiteaker and Klatt each netted l2. The Whitmer Lightweights downed Perrysburg, 53 to 33. l Whitmer 47-Napoleon 32 Our regular season ended at this after- noon game by registering a 47 to 32 victory over Napoleon. This win gave us a l3 to 4 record for the I949-50 campaign. Coach used l5 lads in scoring this easy win. Klatt and Kolinski paced the winners with ll points each. 05d!0I'6! garb eibzlifricf jmrnamenf Whitmer 51-Sylvania-Burnham 42 Whitmer led most of the time in the Panthers' first game at the Rossford High School Field House. The smaller Syl- vania players battled the G.N.C. Champs on even terms under the backboards and tied them in the number of field goals, Whiteaker hit l5 points for the Champs. Whitmer 47-Swanton 24 A With the second team playing the majority of the game, and the first stringers taking the floor in the last half of the second quarter, Whitmer defeated Swanton in a colorless game. The whole team played a fine game. Whitmer 45-Maumee 36 When Whitmer met Maumee in basketball, a real battle was expected by all, and so it proved to be. At the end of the second quarter our squad surpassed the opposing team. Kolinski, Mohn, and Klatt were taken out in the last quarter on fouls, which left our team badly crippled. However, the game proved thrilling and exciting, and the out- come remained uncertain until the final buzzer. Whiteaker tallied l4 points. 7401-fAwef5fern io l .szcfionaf journamen Whitmer 68-Bellevue 43 Whitmer was paired with Bellevue, but this didn't bother us at all. Although Bellevue walloped us last year in the Sandusky Tournament we were more than de- termined to be-af them this year. The Panthers put on an impressive shooting performance to trip Bellevue, 68 to 43. The Whitmer quintet hit 50 percent of their shots in the first half. The intermission score was 41 to l6. lt was pretty much a five-man job as Coach Alvarez kept his first team in the game until nearly the end. Klatt stood out, with shooting from the outside. Jim Mohn played an excellent defensive game, while Whiteaker, Kolinski, and Miller all did a fine job in controlling the backboards. Whitmer 45-Columbus East 58 ln the semi-final of the regional tournament, Columbus East eliminated Whitmer by a score of 58 to 45. Both clubs looked good on long shots, but East could drive in, while Whitmer could not. The game was close, down to the two minute mark. Whitmer took a big early lead and managed to stay in front for three quarters. ln the fourth period, the Panthers tired and began to miss shots, while East had plenty of zip left to carry it on to victory. Every man did his best. 252l'U2 .!ClJL2f6a! FIRST ROW: A. Morternore, J. Donath, D. Kramer, G. Gose, A, Zimmerman. SECOND ROW Coach Artie Brighton, W. Francis, W. Threm, C. Genung, D. Taylor, E.

The Panther cinder crew started off the I949 campaign by losing to the Clay Eagles With Blissfield and Sylvania providing the competition, the crew entered a triangu- lar meet and copped second place. Two losses racked against them, the Whitmer thinclads were visitors to a strong Yellowjacket cinder crew from Perrysburg and battled furiously up until the last event, only to lose by a single point to the river crew. The fellows finished out the season by bowing to fellow members in the annual G. N. C. meet. Even though their winning record wasn't up to par, the spirit among the squad was very enthusiastically expressed, and signs were shown of a great track squad in the making for Whitmer. j'acL ana!

The boys enjoyed pass and tap, kick ball, soccer, speedball, basketball, tumbling, volleyball, giant volleyball, and softball during the year. These classes are designed to give the boys stronger bodies and promote healthful living habits. Whitmer has one of the finest physical education programs in this area, and taking gym is always one of the highlights of a school day, IO! The annual circus is always a looked-forward-to project of the physical education program. For l6 years, the circus has been put on in March. There are a variety of acts including dances, animal acts, comedy acts, boys and girls tumbling, ladder pyramids, boys pyramids, and co-ed acts. The circus shows what goes on at Whitmer in the phys.ed. departments and displays some of the feats that can be done with a sound body and good co-ordination. The months of preparation, the difficult acts, and the colorful dances are climaxed by three great nights of entertainment. Dur- ing those l6 years, at least three thousand boys and girls have par- ticipated in the circus that has been such a fine tradition at Whitmer. Our Gym Teachers The first sport of the year for the upper classmen was soccer, then speed- ball and hockey. ln the meantime the Freshmen were learning the funda- mentals of field ball and soccer. Later, all of the physical education classes played volleyball together. They were played in tournament games of six. The three top teams that won all six games were captained by Nancy Ray, Pat Limber, and Dorthy Wright. After volleyball, the classes started modern dancing and put on this act for the circus. .. I, , 7 2 'F 91 Everyone plunged into playing basketball with a lot of enthusiasm under the able super- vision of Miss Nancy Butler, the girls new physical education teacher. She was able to give the girls a lot of instruction, through her first-hand experience. She graduated from the Uniniversity of Toledo just last year and has really done a good job for her first year at Whitmer. To finish off the sports for the year, soft- ball was enjoyed by all the girls in the Spring. 103 rw fx . Q 5, Q? 2 3? :Q X v ,Q ,309 lzzigk X Lt 5. xg. 1. Y, f-sv Wfm l 9 fi-6 Q , if 55,2 SWE ', .

As American cities go, Toledo has a truly significant history. Dating as,it does from pioneer times, the city is full of landmarks which revive old memories and remind the present generation of a glorious past. But there are many modern signs, too, in this bustling Ohio commun- ity and we feel we can say, with pardonable pride, that the Owens-Illinois Glass Company is one of them. Owens-Illinois is equally proud of the fact that Toledo citizens Con- tinue to take an active part, as well as a personal interest in this enterprise, which has helped make Toledo the Glass Center of the World. Many alumni of Whitmer High School are included in our personnel and are doing much to help us solve our everyday problemsg Uwens-Illinnis Blass Eu.
