They believed that a record of their activities would prove useful in many ways to those seekers after knowl¬ edge of the future. With this purpose in mind the Journalism Department presents the 1953 Oracle. Editor 4 Dedication John WallacE Whitmer Education is based upon the solid rock of a spiritual life. This is the living philosophy of John Wallace Whitmer in whose honor Whitmer Senior High School is named and in whose honor the school attempts to carry out his principles of living and learning. Now retired after a life-time of service to the youth of Lucas County, Mr. Whitmer is executive secretary of the Northwestern Ohio Education Association. As such he directs the programs of this important segment of Ohio’s educational and professional life. Exemplary in his own life, Mr. Whitmer has been a source of inspiration to the thousands of students and hundreds of teachers whose lives he has touched by his encouragement and helpful coun¬ sel. To him, the wise founders of the Washington Township School System turned in the mid-twen¬ ties when they wished to establish a high school in the Township. John Wallace Whitmer early decided to become a teacher. He is a graduate of Wooster College and of Ohio State University. His pioneer work in education has won him high honors. But he has remained simple in his attitudes and h is character. He believes in young people and recognizes their inherent rights to a freedom of enterprise and initiative, wisely tempered by a growing respect for the rights of others and recognition of their responsibilities as young citizens of a free country. With his wife, who is retired superintendent of Adams Township schools, Mr. Whitmer is often called upon for counsel and help in educational affairs of Northwestern Ohio. They live in Toledo. s To the Oracle Staff: Again, I feel privileged that you have asked me to make a statement for “The Oracle.” This year, I especially commend you for the renewed zeal you seem to be manifest ing in producing “The Oracle” of 1953. I sincerely feel that the readers of these lines will be handling one of Whit- mer’s very best yearbooks, and a volume that will bring much individual and group pride. And now, may I pass on, through these columns, a special message to each and every Whitmer student. Without the shadow of a doubt, you are a member of one of the great¬ est high schools to be found anywhere. The qualities and attributes which make Whit¬ mer great, are in the ascendency. You mem¬ bers of the general student body are among the most important factors in the building of, and the maintenance of, a good school. May I admonish you all to have a con¬ tinued zeal for the highest type of school spirit and pride. With this attitude, on the part of all of us, Whitmer will ever con¬ tinue to maintain its en viable place on the honor roll of schools. Sincerely, EARL B. DRIVER Superintendent There is no better school building in Ohio than the new Washington Town¬ ship Junior High School. We know this will give the students of Whitmer a challenge to have the same statement made of their already high scholastic at¬ tainment. Sincerely, HAROLD M. RYDER Superintendent of Lucas County As this book goes to press, the 1952- 53 school year will be drawing to a close. Many momentous events will have happened by this time on a local, national, and world-wide scale. To the readers of this book perhaps nothing will be quite as important as the fact that another class will graduate from Whitmer to go out and leave their “foot¬ print in the sands of time.” HARRY T.

To understand fully the import of this structure will involve the essence of thinking in symbols. Now thinking in symbols is not always an easy task; for in many cases, it may require the highest type of thought pro¬ cesses. In algebraic problem solving, the student constructs an equation which satisfies all the condi¬ tions of the problem and in which the letter X represents the answer sought. Then processing the equation, he finds the answer to X and this is the answer to his problem. But it is not the purpose of these few words to engage in too deep thinking. We readily see that the normal life-span may be divided into three segments or parts, namely, that of youth, manhood and, old age. As youth approaches middle life, he should anticipate many per¬ plexing problems whose solution will require considerable strength of character. It will be helpful if we will let these perplexing problems be represented by a stream which, for the want of a better term, we will call the stream of uncertainties over which one must pass and thus will need a bridge of unusual strength and durability to carry an undetermined load. The common virtues which consti¬ tute the building material for this structure are found in great abundance in the moral quarries of life. Let us go there to select desirable virtues or stones for the arch which is the principal support and strength of the bridge. Our first consideration will be the footings of the arch. These footings must go down deep to the bedrock. Can we do better than place obedience on one side of the stream and self-respect on the otherSurely this will provide a splendid foundation. You will note in the rep¬ resentation that the virtues are more or less in pairs or are complementary to each other, such as physical cleanliness and moral poise, patience and perseverance, loyalty and patriotism, faith and hope. Hav¬ ing considered the several courses in the arch, we are now ready to determine the keystone, that all- important stone which binds and holds all others in place. How about charity for the keystone? Do you agree? Of course it is understood that in selecting material for the arch, we do not reject any virtue found in the moral quarries of life; for we shall employ all the virtues in our speculative bridge. All about the arch, we need good material to build up the roadway so that we may have a smooth roadbed with a firm foundation that will carry an enormous load without mishap. Just so we need to work into our respective characters such attributes and qualities as kindness, reliability, justice, honesty, truth fulness, sincerity and that full line of positive Christian virtues which will make for an abundant life. And let it be understood that it will be a matter of real assurance to the individual if the virtues will become fixed in habit rather than to lie unused in the realm of mere knowledge. 8 ARDEN C. WALKER Principal of Whitmer This has been a year of change and we can’t help but wonder what is in store for our W.H.S. This is our first year as a Senior High School and it seems almost as though we have passed through our adolescence and into early maturity. Our graduating class will number a few less than 150. Next year’s class will exceed 200 and the first grade class in our school system now numbers 460 students, thus it is clear that our small intimate Whitmer’’ can never be quite the same again. With growth comes change, and my fervent prayer is that this change will still permit us to retain the many fine traditions and attitudes that have been such a meaningful part of our school lives. I am thinking of the sincere personal interest shown for each other, of the many informal good times and conversations between students and faculty members, of the warm friendliness between stu¬ dents with no snobberies because of financial, racial, or religious differences, of our deep loyalty toward our school—the joy of winning a close, hard fought football game—or the despair of losing such a game. These and many other unwritten and undescribed emotions make up what we mean by Whit¬ mer’’. Our past has been bright, I trust that as our school increases in size we may still cling to the best advantages of a small school and merge them with the best virtues of a large school that we may leave Whitmer equally rich in wholesome traditions and meaning for those destined to be our Whit¬ mer’’ of tomorrow, ARDEN C. WALKER, Principal 9 MR. AND MRS. JOHN WALLACE WHITMER The Whitmer Story The Whitmer Story at best is the living, moving spirit that is the student body of Whitmer High School. It cannot be told by words or even pictures. It is being told by the accomplishments of each Whitmerite, teacher, graduate, and student. The story starts when Mr. Whitmer helped to organize high school classes in the basement room of Wernert School. In 1929, the first Senior Class was graduated from Whitmer High School. For his counsel and encouragement, this school was named in his honor. Since its birth, Whitmer Senior High School in its educational philosophy has tried earnestly to carry out Mr. Whitmer’s belief in a Christian education for young people. The rich spiritual heritage is evident from the serious attitude of students in their various religious faiths, and in their conduct as young ladies and gentlemen of a busy, puzzled world of today. The Spirit generated by John Wallace Whitmer permeates the Eves of all students and teachers. It is at once a calalytic agent binding the aims of all of us as one, and is an aim itself, something we can do well to attain. It is a generative force, a surging of constructive spiritual power controlled by the attributes of good character and consideration. As such it is the most important element of the many good things we enjoy at Whitmer High School. 6 1 “Building the Bridge” By Will Allen Dromgoole An old man, going a lone highway, Came at evening, cold and gray. To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim: The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side. And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again will pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide— Why build you the bridge at eventide?” The builder lifted his old gray head; “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followeth after me today A youth, whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me. To that fair haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.” Mr- Mrs. W hitmer Jer Deans Two of the more familiar faces seen around the campus are those of the deans, Mrs. Irma Schlegel and Mr, Harvey Davis. Their guidance throughout the years has been both helpful and encouraging to all students. We would like to express our thanks to them for all they have done for us in the past and for all they will do in the future. 12 T The Faculty The Senior class of 1953 salutes the faculty. We real¬ ize that a teacher’s day does not always end at three o’clock in the afternoon. A great deal of his time is given to the students’ out¬ side activities. We feel that they are giv¬ ing us the best education there is to be received. We are sure we will be able to put to use many of the things we have learned in the past four years. The Seniors extend their sincerest gratitude to the fa¬ culty of Whitmer High School. May they continue their good work. 13 1 V I i Vivian M.

After a few days of initiation, we felt we were “in.” Along with this sense of belonging came our various activities. With Bernard Frost as our class advisor, we began our Freshman year with a skate and a dance, “The Freshman Frolic.” As Sophomores we branched out slightly in our activities. In addition to another skate and a dance, we presented an “Arthur Godfrey Assembly” before the student body. Under the capable supervision of Lois Loehrke, we became upper class- men. The halls grew smaller and responsibilities increased. After much anticipation, we received our class rings. In February another big event. The Junior Prom, faced us. May was a very busy month for the class of ’53; for it included not only our assembly program—a minstrel show—but also our class play. Cheaper By The Dozen. We climaxed the year by giving the Seniors a party centered around the Maypole theme. At last the long awaited year arrived; we were Seniors! In order to complete this important phase of our lives, we had to carry out a few more traditions. There were our Senior pictures in September and our class play. Pride and Prejudice, in November. As the end of the year drew near, our so¬ cial lives were filled to the brim by the Washington trip and the Senior Prom. Then came Baccalaureate, Senior Day, and finally. Commencement. How eagerly we have looked forward to this day! As we leave the halls of Whitmer for the last time, let us keep in mind our class motto: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Secretary 18 Lee Wayne Stahl V i ce-Presi dent Mary Alice Nofziger Treasurer Patsy Louise Kelley President Lois J.

In our Freshman year we carried the motto “Small but mighty” through all events. During our Sophomore year the usual float, skate, dance, and class assembly were accomplished with flying colors. Our Junior year is in full swing, as I write this, with plans for the Junior Prom, Junior-Senior Party, in honor of the Seniors, our Junior Play in the spring, and our Junior Assembly. We have picked our class rings and pins and we know we will wear them with great pride. We are all looking forward to our final year here in the great halls of Whitmer High.

Future Teachers of America, un¬ der the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Hayes, have worked very hard to make the year 1952-53 a very success¬ ful one. Boys and girls alike are learning more about the fundamen¬ tals of teaching by substituting in area grade schools. They also act as substitutes in our own school when teachers are ill, or called away un¬ expectedly. Their purpose is to learn about the opportunities in teaching, to culti¬ vate the qualities essential in a good teacher, to study the lives of great teachers, and to foster the develop¬ ment of student leadership. Prujectiou Club The Projection Club, sponsored by Harry Hendershot, is one of the most well known and ac¬ tive clubs at Whitmer. Members of the club give their free time to show classroom films. Feature movies are shown in the auditorium once each month by the members of the club. The only pay these boys receive is a ticket to the once-a-month feature movies. The officers elected for this year are: Jim Ault, president; Kermit Brown, vice president; Charles Stieb, treasurer; and Bill Mey¬ er, secretary. First row—left to right: Bill Meyer, secretary; Kermit Brown, vice president; Jim Ault, pres¬ ident; Charles Steib, treasurer.

This year’s Science Club, though small in number, is quite active. Un¬ der the excellent guidance of our advisor, Mr. Foster, we have fur¬ thered our knowledge of science to¬ gether. We meet during homeroom period on the first and third Thurs¬ days of every month and also hold evening meetings every other Mon¬ day in the school’s biology room. The present group project is a beautiful pedigreed fawn boxer named Dayna Von Woodair. Over a period of the next two years she will be bred with a boxer of equal pedigree, and the money gained from the pups will pay for Dayna’s room and board. All of the Science Club members are ex¬ tremely happy over Dayna’s arrival and feel that this two-year project will be the best ever. Chess Club The Chess Club strives to make better friends through friendly rival¬ ry, and to promote a better under¬ standing of the game. Under the su¬ pervision of Harry Hendershot they had a victorious season against Scott, Perrysburg, Sylvania, Libbey, DeVil- biss, and the Boys’ Club. Last year’s team was undefeated. First row: Dave Richardson, Phil Drake, Chuck Williams, Jim Ault. Second row: Jack Stahl, Dick Watkins, Mr. Hendershot, Jerry Thornton. 69 f n ZB 70 I The Journalism Department The sixth year of journalism has come to an end. Under the able direction of Ar¬ thur H. Rice, more and more students have taken an interest in writing and have found more importance in the printed word. Journalism has grown in popularity at Whitmer from one small class of i8, in 1947, to a total of 80 students in the years of 1952-53. Journalism has proved to be not only a class high in popularity, but also high in scholastic training. We at Whitmer feel that the Journalism Department will reach even greater heights in the years to come. 71 The Oracle Fred Wechsel, EJ for Joyce Kester, Associate Editor Oracle Staff Seated—Jim Albright, Joyce Kester, Fred Wechsel, Anita Sine, Marty Farron, Standing, first row—Jack Weimer, Jan Atzinger, Barb Selter, Liz Hamrick, Larry Brechbill, Tim Murnen, Coral White, Mr. Rice.

The club holds an annual banquet of recog- nitnon and engages in other activities throughout the year. The Whitmer chapter is un¬ der the direction of Arthur H. Rice. 74 Speech Department There is another hard working team at Whitmer. They don’t wear helmets or race up and down the gymnasium, but they are battling and matching wits from platforms, in panel discussions, and by acting for the crowd’s enjoyment. With grease paint, lights, scripts, and speeches the Speech Department is winning, sometimes losing, but always carrying the Whitmer spirit of sportsmanship with them. To Miss Wirick, whose indefatigable energy bewilders all of us, we feel a mere “thank you’’ is not enough for that “something extra” you possess and have developed in many of Whitmer’s students. Perhaps bravo would be more appropriate for your performance in dramatizing a chapter in the Whitmer Story! 75 Masque and Gavel First row—left to right; Nancy Schwab, Marge Packard, Sue Meyers, Liz Hamrick, Bruce Weidman.

Ideals and hopes are ever burning bright.” In the sixth year at Whitmer, this honorary speech club is striving to make its “Speech for Use” motto live and become a practice in the community and student life. Prince Whitmer led the state in the number of contestants in this year’s Prince of Peace Contest, having forty-nine out of the to¬ tal of sixty-five participants.

It was called “Sweetheart Ball.” At mid-evening, the band se¬ lected candidates for the roll of Sweetheart. They were Kathy Ki- ker, Janet Dorr, and Judy Tesch. The vocalist and the bandleader chose Janet Dorr to reign as “Sweetheart of the Ball.” A,., - auss Ch vci 79 Whitmer s Library This year our library has been buzzing without the aid of the Freshmen. The Sophomores were given reference talks and the Juniors and Seniors received special help on those inevitable term papers and poetry anthologies. M iss Brown and her twenty-two assistants did an outstanding job on the Christmas Book Fair. Part of the proceeds from the Fair and the Bookworm Wiggle, the annual Library after-game dance, were used to purchase a flash camera. A new “pam” file was acquired in January and a cabinet for storing poster material is being made by the woodshop. Early this spring Miss Brown and several second and third year assistants made a survey of the area and city school libraries, comparing book collections, student help, lighting, available funds, and storage space Their reports showed that our Library compares very favorably with others in the area. (Nowhere else did they find the friendly, informal atmosphere that is characteristic of Whitmer’s Library!) 80 Library Council First row, left to right: John Kern, Jerry Cox, Dick Huffer, Louise Rule, Greta Mars, Shakespeare-club mascot, Colleen Cox, Mary Ann Steinem, Miss Brown. Second row: Ann Arrick, Donna Good, Lois McPher¬ son, Bill Shook, Marty Farron, Pete Whalen, Larry Rohr, Fred Wechsel, Dottie Hassfeld, Wilma Delph. 81 Whitmer’s second Bi¬ ennial Book Fair, was held in December. The entire student body and teaching staff partici¬ pated. Home economics, T I, and wood shop classes all had displays. J. W. Cunningham and Walter Buchanan were guests of honor. The main purpose of the Fair was to interest the gen¬ eral public in books for home use. The profits were used to purchase expensive books for Whitmer’s Library. ei Music Depart ent Music may soothe the savage heart but the primary aim of Whitmer’s Music Department is to promote student morale throughout the school’s seasons. During football season we proudly present our marching band of fifty members. The band boosts school spirit at half-times and pep sessions with lively marches and clever formations. The A Cappella Choir is featured in the annual inspiring Christmas program. The Choir appears later in a Spring Festival and it takes effective parts in various other school assemblies. Mr. Clyde L. Brown, the head of Whitmer’s Music Department, has been with us for seventeen years. Thanks to you, Mr. Brown, we can say that our Music Department can be added as another successful chapter in our Whitmer Story. 83 A Cappella Choir First row, left to right: Jeanne Nelson.

They also entertain several clubs and organizations of the Toledo area. Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club is an all girls’ choir, singing three- or four-part songs for treble voices They sang at the annual Christmas program and Spring Festival.

They sponsor the annual “Sock Hop” dance. Hats off to these high steppers! Another active and important part of Whitmer High is the school band.

The Girls’ Athletic Association began here at Whitmer in 1941 under the guidance of M iss Elinor Fisher. That same year World War II broke out, therefore, making it impossible to continue this association for several years. In 1943 the now popular girls’ bowling began at Whitmer. In 1949 under the able supervision of Miss Nancy Lee Butler, a girls’ softball team, a volleyball team, and a hockey team were organized. In the past year Miss Butler has re-organized the Girls’ Athletic Association, which has now grown to be a very successful organization. 89 G.A.A.

Under the past guidance of Don Stacy, and now of Lou Meszaros, this organization has really done its part in promoting good sportsmanship at all times, both on the field and in school. Their main social events were parties held during the fall and spring, and an after-game dance. They also have had charge of the concessions at the Circus and the Donkey Basketball Game, which was played by the Varsity W members and the Side Line Quarterbacks. G.]V.C. Players This year Whitmer placed six Junior and Senior boys on the my¬ thical Great Northern Conference squad, headed by Tim Murnen, who made first string tackle.

The Pan¬ thers agree that the new coach is O.K. S eptember ig: Whitmer, o; Clay, 7. The Panther crew went to Clay with one victory under their belts, and expecting another. The game was scoreless until late in the third quarter, when the Eagles pushed the full length of the field for a touchdown. September 26: Whitmer, 7; Tiffin, 14. Whitmer suffered its second defeat of the season at the hands of Tiffin Columbian. Behind at halftime, 14-0, the Panthers scored once, and were on their way to a second T.D. when the clock ran out. October 3: Whitmer, 41; North Baltimore, 6. Whitmer played host to little North Baltimore on an open-date game; the Tigers went home beaten and bruised, and was big Whitmer ever proud!

October 24: Whitmer, 20; Maumee, 13. The Maumee Panthers trekked to Whitmer with hopes of taking home their first victory of the season. They went home all right, with their tails dragging. October 31: Whitmer, 20; Sylvania, 7. Whitmer had Sylvania over a barrel, days before the game; the Bulldogs even tried to bolster their morale by passing propaganda around our campus. This just made the Whitmer boys mad, and they took it out on their rivals at the game. November 7; Whitmer, 55; Macomber, ig. The Whitmer Panthers finished the season with their sixth straight win by mauling the Ma¬ comber Craftsmen. The city league team scored first, but Whitmer pushed them back, raising the score at halftime to 41-6.

His ability to drive in for layups and to get the ball off the backboard will make him one of next year’s outstanding players. Ed Meredith, Junior, 5 ft. 9 in. guard, was a steady influence on the boys when anything went wrong. He was acting captain at all games, hold¬ ing his own with his swell one-hande d long shot. Earl Birr, Senior, 6 ft. 3 in. center, was given the Most Valuable Substitute trophy. His one- handed jump shot is his best scoring asset. Lee Stahl, Senior, 6 ft. forward, has a good one- handed push shot, proving to be a strong link in the Whitmer line-up. 100 Stan Ely, Sophomore, 6 ft. guard, has a great future in playing basketball for Whitmer. His ability to dribble and to shoot a jump shot earned him his Varsity position. Gene Knauss, Junior, 6 ft. 4 in. center, was the leading scorer of the team and in one game alone racked up 29 points! Arlan Church, Junior, 5 ft. ii in. guard, has his one-handed shot from out in front pretty well down pat, and will prove to be a ’54 regular. •s . ■ a ; , Harv Herron, Junior, 5 ft. 10 in. guard, will not be back next year due to his age, but he was an outstanding figure in several games this year. Tom Gollan, Junior, 6 ft. i in. forward, has the ability to become one of Whitmer’s best players, possessing excellent hook and drive-in shots. Jerry Bodette, Senior, 6 ft. guard, was a de¬ termining factor in many games this year due to his long shots, coming through several times with important baskets. Dick Clevenger, Junior, 5 ft. ii in. guard, is good at getting the ball off the backboard, and will be an indispensable player on next year’s team. Denny Leathers, Senior, 5 ft. 10 in. guard, was chosen honorary captain of the ’52-’53 season by his teammates. This scrappy player has many times proved invaluable to his squad. 101 Varsity Basketball First row, left to right: Mr. Pritts, Tom Gollan, Earl Birr, Gene Knauss, Jim Shipman, Stan Ely, Mr. Alvarez.

We’ve been through a lot—the plays and the basketball games, the circus, our first trip to the office. No, we will not forget Whitmer. So long. The Oracle Staff Behind the closed doors and beyond the gleaming Halls lies the spirit of our school. From morning until late afternoon, the halls echo With each footfall, telling the story of the individual Student as he starts down his path of life. The shadow of war may hang over the entire world But within the school you find only the laughter And talk of last night’s game . . . And whether lost or won, the spirit of good sportsmanship Hovers over all; chatter of the English exam . . . Plans for a class party—all of these things make up The student life in America. —Margie Dietsch, ' 54 107 We of Washington Junior High School are happy to be a part of the Oracle this year. It has been a busy year, one filled with fulfilling the hopes and dreams we have placed in our new school.
