W'hat better way to get the Oracle readers in the mood of the 1953-54 Whitmer school year. The Oracle staff has attempted to give in musical fashion an accurate history of an outstanding year at Whit- merg for the very harmony of music expresses the spirit that existed among the administrators, the faculty, and the students of Whitmer High School. There were many high notes in the classes, the activities, and the organiza- tions this year. The staff hopes that you will find them all recorded here. May pleasant memories be recalled and youthful hopes and ambitions be renewed as you turn the pages of your 1954 high school annual. JOYCE MILLER Adviror CONTENTS FORWARD .... DEDICATION ... . .

Mrs. Schlegel graduated from the University of Toledo with a Bachelor of Science and Education Degree. She began teaching Physical Education at Whitmer immediately following her graduation. The girls' basketball team received recognition throughout the city of Toledo under her able coaching. Later, Mrs. Schlegel taught Community Civics, U. S. History, Civics, and Family Living. On February 1, 1950, she became Dean of Girls. Among her present activities, she is the Advisor of Senior Girls' Bowling. Mrs. Schlegel has succeeded in winning the respect and friendship of every Whit- mer student. We are both proud and thankful to Mrs. Schlegel for her many years of faithful service to Whitmer High School. PRINCIPAL W MM MQW, As you glance through these pages in years to come, you will experience the strange sensation of being transplanted back to the school year of 1953-54. You will feel again the nearly forgotten emotions of Whitmer Daze , fondness and gratitude for teachers and classmates who helped you solve the serious problems of teenitus, anger with some who were perhaps unjust, and maybe mere tolerance or indifference to those in the outer orbits of your daily school experiences. May we in this last paragraph again greet you with a smile and a hello and may we say that it was an ever abiding privilege and pleasure to have spent these years with you. We hope you will forgive us our mistakes, for they were not born in the heart, but of the limitations of human judgment. And may theenthusiasrn and idealism which you have in 1953-54 remain with you as long as you can remember that our school colors are Maize and Blue. Sincerely, WALKER A. C. Principal 9 Greetings to the Oracle readers: I am sure we are proud of this new yearbook. A vote of thanl-:s is due each and every one who has helped to produce it. The Oracle is truly a reflec- tor of the Washington Township school system. Our school organization has been growing by leaps and bounds. This session we attained for the first time an over-all school enrollment of 4000. The quality has kept pace with the quantity. Contributors to these many improvements have included almost every- body-pupils, parents, teachers, and the general township citizenry. Again, congratulations to the Oracle staff for the very commendable job they have done in producing this, another wonderful annual. Sincerely yours, EARL B. DRIVER, Superintendent Washington Township Schools . .,ii ai ADMINI TRATIO There is no better school building in Ohio than the new Washington Township 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 attainment. Sincerely, HAROLD M. RYDER Superintendent of Luau County Many years ago john Ruskin made this wise obser- vation: When men are rightly occupied their amuse- ment grows out of their work as the color petals out of a fruitful flower. Analyze yourself: your hob- bies, interests, skills, abilities, both mental and physi- calg then choose the area of work you are most inter- ested in and seem best fitted for, and you will find Ruskin's observation is true.

We were forced to bear the usual initiation, a far- cry from our graduation day. We produced our first assembly, after- game dance, skate, float, and homecoming queen as timid freshmen. Then as bolder sophomores we produced an even better assembly, dance, and float. Upper-classmen at last! We have looked forward to our junior year and it was here, with our own beautiful class-rings. We had the best assembly thought possible, and we were awarded the trophy for the best float at the homecoming game. Our own junior Prom, Sweetheart's Ball , was a great success, fmeasles and alll. We gave the seniors the tradi- tional junior-Senior Party. The one thing that made our junior year an even greater success was the junior Play, Room For One More, a comedy that stole the hearts of everyone. Now it's our senior year-our final year here at Whitmer. Our senior pictures were taken in September, then in November, we gave our class play, Best Foot Forward. There seemed to be so much to do at the beginning of our senior year, but the latter part was just chuck-full with our trip to Washington, the Senior Prom, Baccalaureate, and Senior Day. 'I'hen with Commencement our whole high school life came to an end. But these happy years we shall never forget, and to Mr. Harvey Davis, our class-advisor, we extend our most hearty thanks for guiding us through these four wonderful years at Whitmer with our own motto, Friendship is the wisest investment man can make.

That first year it seemed as though the day when we would become up- perclassmen was far into the future. But we made the grade. And now, look- ing back, those three years seem to have passed very swiftly. Our freshman year, with the aid of the Nutshell, we found our way around this spacious new school. As our first project, we sold football and bas- ketball pins. By our sophomore year we were quite familiar with Whitmer and her customs and traditions. In addition to carrying out our traditional duties, we sponsored a skate. This year, besides the usual float and assembly, we have accomplished our new responsibilities with flying colors. A committee of seven chose those magnificent rings which all of us are now sporting. Our junior Prom and the junior Play were a huge success. The junior-Senior Party was one we will never forget. And now, we the class of '55, are looking forward to our senior year at Whitmer High School. For all of our accomplishments we owe thanks to our advisor, Mr. John Hersland.

We were all scared at first, but once we learned the custom, we felt at home. During our first meeting, we chose the white rose as our class flower, and blue and white as our class colors. In election of officers, our president and secretary remained the same. A new sergeant-at-arms and vice-president were named. Throughout the year the class elected a queen, made a float entitled School Daze , and gave an assembly. We also had a Clothing Drive for the Korean children, and sponsored a dance. We all extend our sincerest thanks to our advisor, Mr. Thad Speier, who helped us through our first year at Whitmer.

The advisors of the three classes also appoint one to be in this organization. Student Council, advised by Mrs. Irma Schlegel and Mr. Harvey Davis, speaks for the rights of the entire student body. Besides conducting Student Court, the Council pre- sented for the first time a benefit show for the March of Dimes. M g Honor Society Character, Scholarship, Service and Leadership are the important qualifications that one must possess to be accepted into the Honor Society. A student who has qualified is rated by the faculty and recognized in a special assembly during the second semester. This year the Honor Society is especially proud of Dottie Hassfield, one of Whitmer's three students to finish high school in three years. She is now attending Ohio University.

Whitmer's branch of the Y.W.C.A. has proven to be a very interesting one for the Sophomore Y-Teens. These girls have been active in Interclub Council and worked hard to accomplish the many successful events that they have sponsored with the help of their advisor, Mrs. Jeanette Shockey. At the beginning of the year several of the members went to Camp Storer for a weekend of swimming and having an all-round good time. They held a Christmas Party at the orphans' home and enjoyed themselves almost as much as the children. Their after-game dance, The Bobby Sox Beat, was held during the latter part of january. A jazz band provided the music and a good time was had by all. The members feel that the club is not only enjoyable but worthwhile. ,..r,.r,4..a . Ma.

In January the club held an after-game dance which was called Frosty Frolicf' It was considered a big success. The proceeds were used for a splash party and service projects. A few of their service projects were filling a Christmas basket and sponsoring a tea at the State Hospital. In the latter part of the school year, the Junior Y- Teens had a picnic for its members at Side Cut Park. They took a hike, had the roast, and then played a game of softball.

This is the motto of the Whitmer chapter of the National Future Homemakers of America. This club consists of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. It constitutes one of the largest organiza- tions at Whitmer. The major activity of the year was preparing and selling popcorn at Whitmer athletic events. Money made from this project was used for club expenses. Our Future Homemakers of America had three spe- cial projects this year. At Thanksgiving they prepared a basket of food and gave it to a needy family. During the Christmas holidays they sponsored a party for the crippled drildren. Last but not least, in the early spring they gave a party for the orphans. All of these events were made possible by their ad- visor, Mrs. Marilyn Roe.

Its purpose is to help students get the back- ground for a business career and to further the Com- mercial Department. One of the future plans of the club's advisor, Mr. Edwin C. Knepper, is affiliation with the National Or- ganization of the Future Business Leaders of America. Vocational Industrial Club The local chapter of V.I.C. at Whitmer was formed this year to offer social and civic functions plus enter- tainment and educational benefits to members of voca- tional classes. The advisor, Mr. Thadius Spier, and the members believe that co-operative action will aid materially in promoting high standards of workmanship and schol- arship.

Dale Crow Memorial The Dale Crow Memorial, a trophy which is awarded annually to the most out- standing athletic and scholastic senior, was given to Bernie Mustafaga for the 1952-53 school year. This trophy is designated to stimulate more interest in learning and sports and to challenge each boy here at Whitmer to strive for the goals of an eminent student and athlete. Dale Crow was outstanding both athletically and scholastically here at Whitmer and the University of Toledo. After receiving his college degree, he became a member of the Whitmer faculty. Later he joined the service and became a navy pilot. He was killed while flying a mission over Walce Island in january, 1945.

DeVilbiss wasted no time in scoring, but the Pan- thers marched right back to even the score. At the half time the Tigers were out in front 13 to 7.

They also had two first- place winners who set records in their runs. They were Boo DeLaRonde who ran the half mile in 2:07 and Dick Clevenger who ran the mile in 4:39, both new conference records. Although our track team graduated seven seniors, the coming season promised to be a good one under the able coaching of Lou Meszaros. The 1953 golf team played twelve matches last year.

Girls' Athletic Association The second year of the Whitmer Girls' Athletic As- sociation has proven very successful. To be eligible to join the club, girls are required to be active in at least two activities. Many girls received credits in the various sports such as hockey, softball, basketball and swimming. Members were also given credit this year for being in the annual Whitmer circus. To add variety, the girls had a Christmas party which was held in the girls' gym during home room period. They had a gift exchange and served refreshments. Their money making project for the year was an after-game dance. Much credit for their full program is due to their enthusiastic advisor, Miss 'Margaret Bires.

This is because we, in our own small way, must summarize the story of Mr. Douglas A. Marshall. Mr. Marshall was born june 10, 1908, in the Auburndale district of West Toledo. He attended Scott High School. After his graduation, he enrolled at Toledo University. There he participated in athletics as a member of the varsity squad of the football team and also received his B.S. in Education. After graduating, Mr. Marshall began to teach at Lambertville High School. His name was again connected with athletics by being their head football coach. Five years later he came to Whitmer where he taught World History, Economics, American History, and Community Problems. Students began to know him better when he became Dean of Boys and sponsored International Relations Club. From 1936 to 1939, he was our head football coach. In him our school found an outstandingly active faculty member in both sports and teaching. We at Whitmer will never forget such a remarkable and sincere man. 107 It is given to only afew to use X .X their Ive span to enqit all 4 . A generations to comeafter X ,-fxf them . . . Such was the gift of QQ' 'A in applying electricity to better the lot of mankind. 1 W Thomas Alva Edison, pioneer Ps We are proud to bear his name O Only a holder of the original Edison license may use the name Edison as part of its corporate title. It is the mark of a pioneer. Toledo Edison, a business-managed, tax-pay- ing electric company, is proud to be so honored . . . and we renew our pledge to serve our cus- tomers to the very best of our ability. Whitmer High School and the 1954 Oracle staff wish to extend their gratitude to the merchants who contributed by their adver- tising. Without their support an Oracle of this size could not be published. Our real appreciation will be shown them by our pat- ronage.
