Rice The Journalism Classes of Whitmer High School 5530 Whitmer Drive Toledo 13, Ohio Proudly presents for The Senior Class THE 1951 ORACLE This is the mirrored record of the activities during the school year, 1950-1951, at Whitmer High School One of the most important assignments of students of Whitmer Journalism Classes is the preparation of the Oracle. Into the assignment these writers pour not only the record of the current year at Whitmer, but a good por¬ tion of their own hopes, dreams, and effort. That is why this publication represents what it does to each student. But there is still more to the assignment than the reader will note from even a careful reading of this volume. Countless hours of planning, writing, art layout, proof-reading, editing, and final preparation for the printing lie behind this important job. You will not find pictures or stories relating this work, but it is here just as though photographs and legends recorded the effort. To the student staff must go the full credit for the good work accomplished. Their own knowledge of their thoughtful effort will be the best compensa¬ tion they could ask. The staff and advisor hope that the satisfaction of each student reader of the Oracle will equal our pleasure in presenting this written and pictorial story of another great year at one of America ' s greatest high schools. A. H. Rice Publisher. 3 September The freshmen came as neophites to prove to all That they would have their rights.

May To Seniors, this is the month of graduation. Let ' s not forget the years we spent To gain a better education. January Back to school, the old year past, our school spirit we knew Would always last. April When April came, out went the call to the boys who would answer; It was golf, track, and baseball. March We hope the circus will always stay. So we may come back to enjoy The performers in future days. February The Juniors gave their annual ball; we must report A gala time was had by all. OUR MAJORITY Twenty-One! Yes, Whitmerites, this marks 21 years of recording the annual events and activities of our classes here at Whitmer. The Seniors, especially, like to observe this twenty-first year, as it is a symbol of all things that mean we ' re grown-ups. As we graduate and make our way into the cruel, cruel world, we look ahead to the year when we will be 21. Voting and many other opportunities available only to adult life, then knock on our door. Today our world is in great turmoil, and beset in some quarters of the Nation by sinful destruction. Morals are per¬ haps at low ebb, but throughout all this, young Christian men and women still look forward to their twenty-first birthday. To some, it is perhaps a sign of great age; to others, the achievement of entering a night spot; but to all it should be attainment of age linked with knowledge acquired throughout these few years. So, Twenty-One, we salute you! In the three years left to look ahead, may we all consider what it really means to reach the magic era, the first step of which is: becoming 21. DEDICATION We, the Senior Class, would like to dedicate this twenty-first publication of the Oracle to the man on the faculty known as Stace . Graduating in 1930, with a Bachelor of Science degree from Bowling Green State Uni¬ versity, Donald A. Stacy came here to Whitmer. He taught physical education and biol¬ ogy, and was coach of all athletic activities, which then were basketball, baseball, foot¬ ball and track. In that same year, Mr. Stacy and Mrs. Gladys Rust were co-authors of the famous Whitmer circus. Through Mr. Stacy ' s leadership, we celebrate this year the performance of the seventeenth annual circus. In 1937, he received his Master ' s Degree from Bowling Green. In 1945, advisor to the yearbook and Senior Class was he. Devoted to his teaching profession, Mr. Stacy also has been a contractor and registered basketball and football official for sixteen years. Mr. Stacy, the spicy little advisor of this 1951 Senior Class, has helped us come out in the clear on the Junior Play, designed the float for which we received first prize, and directed our Senior Class Play. Yes, we, the Senior Class, wish to express deep-felt thanks and true gratitude for all things accomplished to that man on the facutly affectionately known as Stace . . . 6 Line forms at the Rear???? Shhhh! Anything to get out of Class. Crash! Bam! Allacazamb! ADMINISTRATION MR. HAROLD M. RYDER Superintendent of Lucas County Through earnest efforts, high ideals, and hard work, Whitmer is attaining its superior rank. I know you will keep it up. Congratulations, H. M. Ryder MR. ARDEN C. WALKER Principal of Whitmer High School As I write these few words of greeting to you, the office door is open and can see you as you pass by in the hall. Your steps are quick; your laughter, hearty. Your young faces reflect the joy of living and the confidence and idealism of youth. The bell rings, you scurry to your rooms, the halls are bleak and empty—and I am again left with my thoughts of what your lives are to be. Dark, ominous war clouds are again gathering over our nation. Your heritage of freedom is again assailed by those who follow the banner of lust, greed, lawlessness, and hate. You might feel justified in giving up and just drifting through life, but this is not to be your destiny. Each generation must take what talent-: it has been granted and add its contributions to all previous progress. You need not discover new worlds, or win world renown, but be true to the best that is a part of you and no man has ever done more-. The sum of individual character makes national character. A. C. Walker MR. EARL B. DRIVER Superintendent of Washington Township Congratulations to the Oracle and its staff upon the attainment of the majority of a great yearbook. Whitmer and other Washington Township Schools have come a long way in the last 21 years. It must seem a real pleasure and privilege to serve in the capacities of advisor and staff members of the yearbook. We are all justly proud of Whitmer and the Washington Township School system. Just recently another important milestone was achieved in the glorious history of our schools. This was in the passage of a bond issue for the construction of a Junior High School building. Again, the citizenry of Washington Township demonstrated their determination to give the youth of our community the best in educational opportunities. To all Whitmer students, congratulations for being in the best township in the state. Let us all appreciate our blessings, and take advantage of opportunities that are offered to us. E. B.

HOMECOMING QUEEN From an able suggestion of Ralph C. Pritts, Whitmer fac¬ ulty member, has come one of our most enjoyed tradi¬ tions — the big bonfire and Homecoming of the football season. Preceded by the bonfire and a snake dance the day be¬ fore the Homecoming, the celebration was high-lighted by the crowning of this year ' s queen, Carol Wechsel. Her attendants were Dorothy Tim¬ erman, Junior; Faye Swartz, Sophomore; and Judy Tesch, Freshman. The new Queen was crowned by the last year ' s popular sovereign, Nancy Ray. The first Queen, selected in 1947, was Phyllis Cook, now Mrs. Phyllis Quigg. The crowned ruler of 1948 was the former Dorothy Eash, now Mrs. Dorothy Baugh. May all future queens be as charm¬ ing as these four predeces¬ sors. Carol Wechsel 1950 Homecoming Queen. Mrs. Phyllis Quigg, 1947 Queen; 1950 Queen and Attendants; Nancy Ray, 1949 Queen; missing is Mrs. Dorothy Baugh, 1948 Queen. 14 SENIORS THE CLASS OF 1951 CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 1947, 174 frightened new Freshmen entered Whitmer High School and took their first look at the school which was to be their new friend. This year of 1951 sees this Senior Class graduating. But we have our memories of the wonderful times we had during those four years which spanned the initiation and the graduation days. We were the objects of the usual persecution and the traditional ridicule that is showered on all Freshmen. However, we managed to present a skate and after-game dance, with the help of our class advisor, Donald Stacy. As Sophomores the class undertook more activities. We sponsored an after-game dance, a skate, and an assembly. The first major event of our Junior year was the arrival of class rings, which we thought would never come. Then we gave our Junior Prom and the Junior Play, Henrietta VIII. We ended the year by giving the Junior-Senior party. Stepping into the ball-room, we were trans¬ formed from our modern world to the land of storybook—fairyland. With dignified grace we entered our Senior year. An event of the year, the Senior Play, Meet Me In Si. Louis, a rollicking comedy, was competently directed and presented by Mr. Stacy. November rolled around and the Senior pictures were something to behold. The Senior Prom was a climax to the social activities of the senior year. The Junior-Senior party followed shortly with equal success. The final group of social activities of the class centered around Com¬ mencement Exercises. It was not until then, that realization came with a shock—that very important and eventful era in each Senior ' s life had passed. But with Commencement past all eyes were turned expectantly to the future. Thus on many different roads they begin in the journey to a mutual and hopefully ultimate goal—SUCCESS.

A bevy of beautiful girls—nine of them—and all Queens! This was the group from which the student body attending the 1951 Senior Prom picked the girl deemed most beautiful and queen-like. Pretty, popular Kate Juers, with the friendly smile, in the white sweater and pearl neck¬ lace at right in the front row, won the coveted honor. The eight princesses who graced Kate ' s court on the great evening in May included: top row, left to right, Carol Mock, Marilyn Roach, Shirley Stahl, and Carol Wechsel; second row, Barbara Duhigg, Carol Genzier, and Marilyn Hesrick; bottom row, Helen Kiker and The Queen herself. Whitmer always has been famous for its pretty girls. Just as well known are the ladylike and courteous traits which mark every Whitmer miss. Vernon Winters, photographic friend .of the school, took this picture, catching the smiles and the fun dancing in the eyes of the nine Candidates for Senior Queen. While graduation on June 1 sent these girls on their nine separate ways into college, to business posts and to home careers, their individual contributions of real friendliness, good cheer, willing helpfulness, and loveliness add to the Whitmer story—a never-ending narrative of a real American high school with the f inest students in the world! —The Oracle Staff 34 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT of the CLASS OF 1951 , The Class of 1951 of Whifmer High School of the Township of Washington, in the County of Lucas, in the State of Ohio, being of sound mind and memory, do make, establish, and declare this to be my last WILL AND TESTAMENT, in manner following that which is to say: FIRST: I direct that all my just debts be paid by the Class of 1952.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Mr. Carl Delph Upperclassmen at last! With Mr. Carl Delph as our advisor, the Junior Class of 1950-1 has had a very successful year. As Freshmen, we became acquainted with Whitmer and its traditions. We presented our attendant for the annual Homecoming, had a hayride, and held a picnic near the end of the school year. During our Sophomore year, we sponsored dance which was profitable. We again enjoyed a picnic as the year came to a close. As the months passed, we felt that we were more welcome and appreciated. At last, we were Juniors! We chose our colors, blue and white; our flower, the red carna¬ tion; and our motto which you see above. On November 21, we received our class rings and pins. In February, our long awaited Prom was a huge success. The audience liked our assembly given in March. Then we selected our play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Every Junior Class thinks its play is the best, but we knew ours was really the best of all. As the term draws to a close and we look back to see the fun we had, fun tempered with some disappointments, we are proud of these three, happy and exciting years spent at Whitmer.

Class in April. With a boat bound for France as the play ' s unusual setting, two pretty, but inexperienced girls became what they call emancipated. Many incidents, such as a stowaway being caught, the appearance of two lively young internes, and a bad case of the measles all progress the play to a stage of hilarity. Finally, the girls reach France, where the last scene takes place. Due to the arrival of Cornelia ' s parents and the return of the young interne to France, the girls settle down to normal. A happy ending is thus achieved for this fine example of a costume play. CAST Leo. Dick. Otis Skinner.... M. De La Croix. . Steward. Mrs. Skinner. . . . Admiral. Window Cleaner Purser.

Sniadak THE JUNIOR PROM Always a big night for the socialites of Whitmer, the Junior Prom this year was in the tradition of good music, good fun, and good memories of a never-to-be-forgotten evening. Gracing the event were PRINCIPAL AND MRS. ARDEN C. WALKER (1) caught in an informal pose at their table during an intermission at the Hotel Secor in downtown Toledo. The Prom Committee included the five students above with CARL DELPH, Junior advisor, second from left. Their joint effort made the event something long to be remembered. Another informal shot caught these four couples sitting it out and mugging for the photographer. Needless to say, the girls loved it, while the fellows had to be coaxed — that ' s the report of the cameraman, anyway. And the ballroom of The Secor was never more delightful to any group than it was to the graceful dancers of Whitmer. We ' re really wondering what the young man in the left center is talking about — or did his date grow frigid, suddenly? 46 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY September was here again and once more we were pushing our way through the halls so that we could arrive at class on time. During the year we had a skate at the Rollercade which turned out very nicely. While football season was going strong, we presented our queens for the float contest and for the annual homecoming. We planned activities for the remainder of the year, such as: a class assembly, an ice skate, and a dance. This year has been very important to us, but we are looking forward to the years to come.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY THE Big day was here; a group of small children entered Whitmer High School as Freshmen. We peered down all the halls trying to decide where to go, then finally our way was pointed out to the nursery, or should we say, homeroom. We spent our first six weeks finding classes, joining clubs, and getting adjusted to several other things. We were then introduced to our class advisor, Mr. Davis. During the year our class presented a float portraying a pink and blue baby. The motto of the float was Small but mighty. A king and queen were elected to ride on the float. Also, for Homecoming, we presented a queen. We made plans for a dance and skate at the end of the year. The year is almost over, and we are looking forward to our Sophomore year when we will be upper-lower classmen and we will be out of the nursery.

THE CAMERA’S EYE AT WHITMER SAW- (1) HARRY T. GRAVES, the genial coordinator of Industrial arts and of the school ' s famous co-op program, whose helpful counsel and valuable contacts with Washington Township and Toledo industries have enabled Whitmerites to obtain valuable work-and-study experience. Many Whit- mer graduates have obtained career jobs through Mr. Graves ' helpful initiative and suggestions. A former board of education member, Harry T. Graves has devoted most of his time to Whitmer for many years. (2) WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP TEACHERS, busy learning first aid as part of their cooperative effort for the current Civil Defense pro¬ gram, in which the Township and its 25,000 residents are actively enrolled. The picture was taken by The Oracle staff in senior study hall. Bending over and shirt-sleeved at his work is CARL DELPH, Whitmer ' s general science teacher. ( 3 ) It ' s Senor Frost, now, and in Cristobal, Panama, but during four good years at Whitmer, BERNARD E. FROST, resigned Spanish instructor, also doubled in brass as chess club coach. Shown here is Mr. Frost bending over a table while EUGENE DAVIS (eyes shaded) meets a DeVilbiss opponent during one of Whitmer ' s interscholastic chess matches. The grey haired gentleman is the DeVilbiss Coach, who like Mr. Frost, often matched wits with his student team. (4) RALPH PRITTS, (left) guides two Whitmer students in preparing art exhibits to advertise the first Whitmer Book Fair. Mr. Pritts ' industrial drawing students frequently correlate their work wi th that of oth er classes and student projects. (5) Whitmer never forgets its alumni. In 1949, NANCY RAY, one of the school ' s most popular students, was Homecoming Queen. Shown here she is flanked by DAVE WHITEAKER and JACK COOK, two of the Panthers ' star gridiron players. DOT TIMERMAN, left, holds corsages for the Queen of ' 49. (6) Here ' s that 1951 Circus again! You ' d be surprised to know that the two hind feet of the horse belong to a faculty member—MISS NANCY LEE (RED) BUTLER, one of the school ' s most popular teachers in Whit¬ mer history. And in the Circus (7) there were many good acts, as always. But this one seemed to attract the interest of the editors who wondered why the two in the fore¬ ground didn ' t lose their balance. And the marching maids in the Military Drill trooped well in their brilliant red out¬ fits (8). Alumni again, from 1949 five winsome misses who managed to find a pine tree as a backdrop. The alumni always return to Whitmer and all of these girls have been seen frequently during this year.

One of the goals toward which a varsity player aims is the winning of a coveted W letter, which entitles him to membership in the honorary athletic club of Whitmer, the Varsity W. This membership is, perhaps, one of the hardest to achieve. After becoming eligible, the boys are put through the first, second and third degrees of initiation for full membership. The First degree consists of a week in which the boys are subjected to the punishment inflicted upon them by the fellows who have previously attained membership. Then comes a night of the second degree, followed later by a night of the third degree. On the last night, they are presented the precious pins, a sign of their great achievement.

Although defeated several times, this year ' s foot¬ ball team gave a good showing. Having lost the first few games, the brave and determined Panthers came back with the push and fight that it takes to have a winning team. Danny Kramer and Kent Yarger made the GNC mythical team. Bill Crayne, Harold Zimmerman, and Dick Johnston received honorable mention. The men who coach Whitmer ' s football team are of the understanding type. The coaches. Bob Mustain and John Hersland of the Varsity, and Al Alvarez and George Pallrand of the lightweights, were well liked by all the players even though the patience of the coaches was sorely tried. Although the teams did poorly at first, the Varsity had a strong finish which led them to a second place tie in the G. N. C. The lightweights had an unfortunate season, but worked hard even though they had no wins.

Row Three: Ralph Lefeaver, Lee Stahl, Philip Drake, Bill Thorton, Arlen Miller, George Tilenius, Dick Clevenger, Carl Ottie, Dick Van Sickle. Al Alvarez and George Pallrand supplied the coaching, and know-how to spark the team to near wins. Although the Lightweight team had an unsuccess¬ ful season in playing, they did achieve a very important gain in football experience. This was the really important lesson taught by the coaches. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Behind those wonderful runners, passers, tackles, and ends on Whitmer ' s football squad are three very important and unsung heroes of our team. They are working just as hard and wanting just as badly to win our games as the Varsity. They are out there on cold, snowy, and rainy nights for the same purpose as are those boys who are actually carrying the ball. These fellows deserve the same glory and praise that goes along with the football season and are to be commended for their goals behind the scenes. These unsung heroes are Larry Helsel, Jack Graham, and Jim Brace, our team managers. 91 r VARSITY NOVEMBER 28 WHITMER, 37-MACOMBER, 60 In a non-league game opening the G. N.

One is Chuck Cramm who had a tryout with the New York Giants. The other is Willie Kolinski who had a tryout with the Cleveland Indians. Their inspiration came from the lessons in sportsmanship taught by Stace.

The Circus has always been an event at Whitmer that is marvelled at by the spectators, looked forward to by the participants, and some¬ thing for which alumni always return.
