It is headed by president George Neville who, along with representative Marvin Achterhof, represents the village, while the township members are Jack Burton and Alva Brichford. The position of clerk treasurer is filled by Mr. James Smith. In the past year, the board has shown much initiative and unselfish effort for the benefit of both faculty and stu- dent body. They work hard for the good of the school and discuss means for improvement in the school system. They are always willing to discuss any and all problems that arise, and to treat them with firm and wise treatment. They work together untiringly, helping us to secure the things we need to make our school better in all respects. 4 5, . KWiig1g4o .Q -H afla ,fi 13 ' Every journey, whether a journey through life, or literally a real journey, has to have overseers or so called directors to lead, advise, and give orders to the travelers. Our two prominent directors are Principal J. B. Woodside, and Assistant Principal, Mrs. Margaret Swanson. Their task is so big that one wonders how they stand up under the strain of it all, but they carry out their plans remarkably well. They know that their orders will be obeyed because they are looked upon by both faculty and students as friends, not bosses. Busy as they both are, Mr. Woodside and Mrs. Swanson always have time to exchange friendly greetings and talk with both the students and the faculty. It is due to the ability and understanding of these two, that Wil- loughby High has become a school of which we are very proud. ministration rf Robert Ralls BS. Ohio U. Ind.

Freshmen Class History This year's freshman class entered high school enthusiastically look- ing forward to their first year. For the first few Weeks the annex buzzed with chatter and was a scene of confusion with everyone asking every- one else where 5 A or the home ec room was. These frosh are just a bit more ambitious than most. They started out the year getting acquainted with a picnic at Daniels Park. They have their own newspaper, The Flaslaliglal, and they have a representation of 15 members in the Scholarship Club. Outstanding intellectual ability has been displayed by George Walker. Lee Davis was elected class chairman and Jack Temple vice-chairman. 10 3 233? A MW HOMEROOM 3A Is! Row, L. to R.: L. Klima, C. Johnson, M. Johnson, P. Hayward. 2m1' Row: N. Janz, C. Grady, Fenton, C.

They began the year by electing a reliable staff of class officers to lead them through a successful year. Mary Ann Broden was elected president, with Chuck Cole as vice-president, Jim Mitchell as secretary, and Shirley Trisketr as treasurer. Their big event of the year was the annual freshman-sophomore dance held on March 19, this year. HOMEROOM 507 Ist Row: M. Broden, B. Border, N. Baughman, J. Bartich, W. Bertrand, J. Bom- gardner, S.

Led by their able class officers, president, Sigmund Kobus, vice-president, Bev Hise, sec- retary, Kitty Beil, and treasurer, Frank lllersich, they really went to town on paper sales, tax stamps and getting their class dues in on time. They had the thrill of receiving their class rings. They had a Wide variety to choose from. Some received plain gold, pearl, red, black, or blue. The majority of the class chose the plain gold ring. The members of the junior class are looking forward to making their senior year their best and most successful. 11-LLTT at J D l N, l Q ,JV ,D en 19 l 'N-05 5 Q is l IX! Row: R. Ackley, S. Adams, D.

They look back over the freshman-sophomore dance, the sen- ior skating party, the thrill of receiving their class rings, and the junior prom with many happy and unforgettable memories in their hearts. Elected to lead them through their most important year were: president, Jim Ulmer, vice-president, Chuck Baker, secretary, Irene El- wanger, and treasurer, Barbara Stury. The responsibility of presiding over many of the school clubs be- longs to many of the members of the senior class. Their cheers are the loudest at all the games as they realize this is the last year they will be cheering for each other. As they leave to better themselves in the world, they will not soon forget their happy high school days.

My how the little town of Willoughby has changed in 10 years, from the time of the forty-niners. And speaking of the forty-niners, those grads of the gold rush years, it seems are having an alumni dance tonight, and it's being held at that exquisite night club Alpine Alley, under the management of Tony Ranallo. Let's look in and see if we recognize everybody. That smooth dance music is being provided by Car- roll Locke and his famous dance band while his pretty little vocalist is none other than Pat Thompson. Those boys warming up over there are Ben Kistler and his famous quartette, consisting of Leonard Phil- lips, Eddie Robinson, and Dick Walther. It looked as though the gang is trying to persuade them to sing. fBen always was a little shy., Why, there's Don Robbins, who finally attained his dream of achieving phenomenal success in the field of journalism. In fact, he writes want-ads for our own News-Herald, which is now edited by Ed Newyear. Also on the News-Herald staff is Eleanor Pengal, who does the proofreading. Over there pouring ginger ale through one ear and out the other is another of our talented classmates. Re- membering the way he used to keep us in stitches in science class, it's not surprising that Dick Brooks is called the Red Skeleton of our time. Some of our traveling classmates are seated over there reminiscing over their trips. It's quite evident that the Leprechauns have really taken hold of Joe O'Donnell, while he was over in Ireland. He's talking to Jackie Grady, who has been in the Waves for five years and has really seen the world. John Myrtle is matching We're very honored tonight with the presence of two of our more prominent classmates, State Highway Pa- trolman, Louis Stage, and City Manager, Bill Grifiith. We're going to hear a speech later on in the evening from Bill, as his efhcient receptionist Irene Elwanger informed us. Everyone is sorry to hear that three of our former classmates are unable to attend tonight. James Ulmer, M.D. is performing a very delicate heart operation tonight, with the expert aid of surgical nurse, Marilyn Blauch. This news was brought to us by nurses, Nancy Krocker, Joan Collins, and Beverly Cable, mem- bers of Dr. Ulmer's staff at City Hospital. Also foreign correspondent, Vernon Barnes, after completing a trip to thc salt mines of Siberia, is now on his way to the oil fields of the Near East. Many of our classmates have made athletics their professions and they are the very ones who were out- standing in our high school sports. There's professional golfer, John Walker, who won for himself the gold cup by defeating Sam Snead Jr. this year. After attending the Indians-Yankee playoff game, it's not hard to see why Indian pitcher, Bill Hayward, is favorably com- pared to Bob Feller. Catcher for the Yankees is Dave Dill. CPS.

Over there is society journalist, Arlene Schad. We hear that she has just signed a contract with N. B. C. enabling her to broadcast for a 30-minute period now on Sunday nights, instead of her former time on Fri- day afternoon. She has taken over the time of Ace Sportscaster, Ken Henry, who has left for Paris to cover the 1959 Olympics. Speaking of Olympics, the champion discus thrower last year was none other than Dick Bertrand. Ethel Erler has been appointed Regional Director of the State Social Service Organization in this region. The new child welfare home, soon to be built on the West Side is the result of her constant efforts. Last year's winner at the Indianapolis Speedway, Melvin Westerinen, is with us tonight.

Prosecuting Attorney, Harold Swope, from New York, is in town cleaning up the case of Coke Malone alias Steve Brothag, internationally known dope ring czar, and has promised to drop around later this evening with his charming and eflicient secretary, Irene Gunvalsen. Just received word that Janice Schroeter and Virginia Wells of the Schroeter-Wells Kennels will not be able to attend tonight. These two famous breeders of col- lies, have gone to attend a convention in Central Ohio to do some extensive studying in this line. Their collies are being well taken care of by their assistants Pat Weisbarth and Fay Tidy in their absence. According to Barbara Bailey's column in the Fort Worth Times Herald, Bill Bagshaw has just been ap- pointed to the very enviable position of director-manager of the King Ranch of Texas and Arizona. We got another scoop that Gwen Clack has been billed to have the feminine lead in a new broadway musical as re- ported by her publicity agent, Gene Schleicher. It was advantageous that the teachers convention of Northeastern Ohio is being held in Cleveland this week- end which made it possible for several of our alumni to attend tonight. Among them are: music teachers, Pauline Robinson and Marge Carpenter, Latin teacher, Amy Sharp, college social science instructor, Margaret Eiserman, and Jean Pallak who is leaving the state soon to assume the duties of athletic director at Vassar. Recently the B 8: B fBullock 8L Bullockj Secretarial- Internation Corp. added to their competent staff of ex- pert secretaries: Nancy Myers, Alice Roe, Dorothy Kravos, Sally Daniels, Marge Royer, Betty Wenrich, Donna Castle, Jean Jarmusch, Ann Roszman, Janet Rose, Dolores Cardisco, and Leona Henrichson. The services of these girls is constantly on the call through- out the world because of their excellent standing in the stenographic profession. Well, what have we here? It looks like a lovely in- door garden. Why, it's one of Madame Tu-Toujour Behkne's newest millinery creations. And there's Car- rie Silvaroli and Della Nolan, clerks at Madame Bel1nke's shop, wearing two more of her stunning creations. Anybody got a toothache? If so, don't hesitate to call on Dr. Bill Aiken who is widely known for his painless extractions, and his attractive assistant Janet Norris. Here comes two more of our prominent classmates: Bob Johnson, who is now the manager of Johnson Dry Goods Center. And right behind him is his old pal, Walter Goodenow, now his assistant manager. There's real estate agent, Bruce Sorter, talking very seriously to his chief purchasing agent, Mary Sears. It looks as though they're trying to cook up a deal and they have their eyes on Dolores Parent, famous journal- ist, who we hear is looking for a house out here now. She formerly resided in Beverly Hills, but she's moving to Cleveland in order to do extensive research work for her new biographical novel, The Hanna Story. Speaking of deals, one has just been completed by Medical Technician, Sue Shave, with the Carnegie Med- ical Research Institute for further study of a rare disease she found running in a minor lab experiment. Everyone is complimenting Airline Hostess, Shirley Mutch, on her new short attractive hair cut. How surprised everyone was to hear it was done at Christine Stiebig's beauty salon and it's no wonder with a staff of expert beauticians as Ann Brothag, Joyce Little, Doris Covert and Frances DeWitt. Some of our mechanical minded classmates are con- versing about their jobs. There's mechanical engineers, Ed Stewart and Bob Zook, Civil Engineer, Phil Young, Plastic Craftsman, Bob Anspach, aeronautical engineer, Frank Hunsicker, and foreman of the Tool and Die Department, Bob Olsson. Well, how did this happen? Don Bistarkey, chief meat handler at Fisher's, is also talking with these mechanics. It's amusing to note that Ducky should go into the poultry business. The big deal that Delco just made with Ford Motor Corp. was transacted through the R. W. S. fRoach, Walther, and Sturyj firm of Certified Public Account- ants.

Two of our feminine classmates certainly surprised us with their choice of occupation. We hear that the big B. 81 B. fBock 85 Burich, not Barnum Sl Baileyj Circus is in town. One of their main attractions is the trapeze tactics of Gilkinson Bl Gregoire, while their big event of the evening will come when Cannonball Fors- berg, the human bombshell, will be shot from a cannon 500 feet into space. Those exquisite crepe suzettes that everybody is en- joying were prepared by Pat Calkins at her Dinette of Fine Foods. Her chief dieticians are Dorothy Super and Jeannine Hoover. Back in our high school days we should have realized that those big words Don Sumner used and the way he used to rattle off answers in science class would lead him to heights of glory in this field. He's invented a noiseless mousetrap that doesn't need any cheese and furthermore it disposes of the victim. Doing the ad- vertising for this remarkable device are his business managers, Don Davies and John Holeski. Why, there's Professor Ian Cadenhead, dean of Har- vard University. And with him is Harvard's popular and well known athletic director, Bill Axford.

These are the members of the Hi-Y whose fun and frolic of the year has proved to be like a rush of goldf, Many fun-making incidents occurred in the club. The hayride in October and the Christmas formal are just two of the many activities that took place. At the Christmas formal a custom was started which will become a tradition for the Hi-Y. This was the choosing of the Hi-Y sweetheart. Sophomore Shirley Fulk was selected this year. This group is under the supervision of Mr. Chester Wike with Ralph Dolence, president, Ben Kistler, vice-president, Walter Goodenow, sec- retary, Bob Johnson, treasurer, Stanley Pattison, chaplain, and Bob Olsson, sergeant-of-arms. The Friendship Club The year was a prosperous one for the female 49ers too. Our motto was To Hnd and give the best. The meetings, planned by president Pauline Robinson, vice-president Amy Sharp, secretary Jeanne Metter, treasurer Barbara Torok, club advisor Miss Adele Knight, and an excellent cabinet, were all full of interest. In October the informal initiation was held in the annex and a hilarious time was had by all attending. The formal initiation was also held in October. The Hi-Y-Friendship Club meeting and the Caroling party provided fun during the winter months. In February the formal dance was held. This was the most important function of the year for the club. As the 49ers,' had their memories of things they had left behind, we too have our memories that will live forever-those of our years in the Friendship Club. 51 81-is sv, i X ,,,.-v-Z jr 574- -V lf' 1 3' it -Giggifiglef Orchestra Under the direction of Mr. Charles Ruddick the orchestra this year performed in many assemblies and at various events outside of school.

They played at the operetta that was presented by the music groups and also at the intermissions of several assemblies. They did an excellent job this year and we hope they will continue to bring as much enjoyment to the coming classes as they have brought to us. Glee Club The smallest music group at W. H. S. is the Glee Club. Their size does not restrict their quality for they were rated superior in the state contest at Delaware. Mr. Hamer Mitchell, the director, did an ex- cellent job in developing the fine talent of our girls in the Glee Club.

So too at W. H. S. the gold nugget is in the minds of the student body. The gold nugget to be achieved is membership in the National Honor Society. This is the goal of all students. Members are chosen from the upper fourth of their class. But it is not for scholarship alone that these students are selected. Character, leader- ship and service are also taken into account. This group is led by Charles Baker, president, Edward Newyear, vice- president, Evelyn Burroughs, secretary, and Sally Daniels, treasurer, who were inducted along with lan Cadenhead, Harold Graebner and Barbara Solomon in the spring of 1948. In November of the past year several more seniors were installed in the society. These were Ann Brothag, Irene Gunvalsen, Mary O'Brien, Edward Robinson and Pauline Robinson. To these finders of the gold nuggets we say Good Luck. Scholarship Club Knowledge was hard to attain in the days of the 49ers. Men strived for greater learning through the few books that were within their reach. Here at W. H. S. we are given ample opportunity to get the knowl- edge so vital to life. The ones who grasp this knowledge and put it to practical use are those of the Scholarship Club. Chosen by the members to lead the club for this year are Ian Caden- head, presidentg Phil Young, vice-president, Barbara Solomon, secretaryg and Mary Baker, treasurer. The members of this club must attain a B average or better to gain membership in it. Although it is less active than most clubs in W. H. S. it is still one of the finest. 55 ,-- - xi-3 'i Student Council Perhaps of all the prospectors of the roaring 49s, the most pros- perous were the members of the Student Council. Prosperous, not in money, but rather in the respect shown by the stu- dents and faculty. Through the efforts of the Student Council this year, many benefits were obtained for the student body. Under the leadership of Harry Swope, presidentg Jim Fenton, vice- president, Doreen Cox, secretary, and Beverly Hise, treasurer, this group has done much to make school life in general more pleasant for both the students and the faculty. The Student Council extends its thanks to Mrs. Margaret Swanson, friend and advisor. jr. Council on World ffairs This group of 49ers had perhaps one of the most important jobs during the great rush. Their tasks consisted of keeping posted on the affairs of the day, reading current periodicals and attending a meeting of this council which are held periodically in Cleveland. They were under the guidance of Miss Madelene Fickes and the leader- ship of Bill Griffith, pres., Al Bullock, vice-pres., Jackie Grady, secretary, and Barbara Bailey, treasurer. They succeeded in selecting Bill Grillith to represent them in New York to observe, at Hrst hand, the workings of the United Nations Organization. Because of the limitation of membership of thirty, this group is one of the most exclusive clubs at W. H. S. 56 4 ' , gli W fgfwgfle ,- JUNIOR COUNCIL ON WORLD AFFAIRS 151' Row: B. Bailey, A.

Its purpose is to create an interest in the language of Spain and in the mother country itself. The officers Were elected and meetings were held twice a month. A newspaper in Spanish was received once a month and this helped to in- terest the students in their course. Plays or little skits were presented in Spanish by some members at the meetings. Spanish' games and songs were enjoyed at all the meetings and conversation was carried on in Spanish. All meetings were called to order by President Jane Needham, while the minutes and treasurer's report was read by Susan Brown. The vice- president was Ruth Mills.

The wives of these prospectors clung to The Blue Teapot which was a symbol of the life they had left behind. An active club here at W. H. S. is the O an Bee. The aim of each member is to become a thespian. Some of the members who became thespians this year are Vernon Barnes, Katie Beil, Joe Belfer, George Guttschalk, Mary Kay Johnson, Marilu Paxman, Leonard Phillips, Ed Robinson, Amy Sharp, and Barbara Solomon. A higher achievement is to become a star thespian. Only a few members can attain this honor. Those who did this year are Ian Cadenhead and Chuck Baker. This club presents plays during the year under the supervision of Mrs. Florine Carroll as well as under student directors who are appointed by Mrs. Carroll. The ofiicers of this club for the year are Barbara Solomon, president, Ed Robinson, vice-president, Katie Beil, secretary and Thelma Downs, treasurer. Their student presentations provide many pleasant hours for students at W. H. S. and we wish to express our gratitude to Mrs. Carroll and the members of the O an Bee. Searchlight Staff There were no newspapers during the gold rush of '49 to spread the news extra fast, but here at W. H. S. the news-seeking Searchlight staff keeps everyone well informed on our 49-ers. This group consists of three juniors and seven seniors and is under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Williams. The editor is Barbara Bailey. They are really on the ball and keep it rolling right down the hall when it comes to collecting news. Numerous new angles to articles have been started this year. One re- ceiving exceptional praise is the Profile, which is an interview of every senior of the class of '49. 60 f C 7.--' ,.., , , ff sawed if M .. ,..- DRAMATIC CLUB Seated: T. Downs, B.

They knew little about what was going on outside their own country. Now we have the newspapers, the radio, and better yet, the movies. The movies play an important role in the teaching of high school stu- dents. The group responsible for the showing of these school movies in W. H. S. is the projection crew. This is the first year the crew has been organized into a formal club with officers. They are Warren Pattison, president, Dick Lang, vice- presidentg and Thelma Downs, secretary-treasurer. The faculty advisor is Mr. Donald Bowland. In previous years the job was more difficult, but this year James Loach, student co-ordinator, has taken over a great deal of the work. Art Club Although not much is heard of this club during the year it does quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work. Under the direction of Miss Dorothy Cowell they do most of the art work necessary for various clubs here at W. H. S. Posters are made and sometimes this club helps with the decorating of the gym for the dances. Many of the decorating schemes are planned by this group. We hope that they will continue their good work in this Held and will bring as much enjoyment to the coming classes as they have brought to us. 63 Zfx we . 1 g . i' X N Rifle Club The riflemen of 1849 had nothing on our stars that meet at the Orco range on Monday evenings. Here they develop the skill of handling guns and learning the different types of shots. Under the direction of Mr. Scott Edgell, this group of boys soon de- veloped into expert riflemen and competed in tournaments and almost always ranked high in the final analysis. Norman Heath was chosen Presidentg Roy Slayton, Vice-Presidentg Phillip Fishel, Secretaryg and Paul Thurman, Treasurer. y Safety Patrol The protectors of life were few in the days of the forty-niners. At Willoughby High School we have the Safety Patrol to protect the lives of our students. The patrolmen and officers are always on guard between classes and after school to help students to and from the main building to the annex. These boys of the Senior Patrol are doing a fine job. The captain this year Was Louis Stage, a senior. He did a fine job of directing these boys along with Roy Burke of the local police force, who instructs the boys on the rules of public safety. The boys wear neat uniforms of gray completed by raincoats and heavy jackets for the different seasons. After two successful years at W. H. S., we know that the patrol will continue as a successful organiza- tion in Willoughby. 64 -f A , s Q . if - : if E T2 i WW? f'-.mai-is f in an P Is! Rauf: W. Bertrand, E. Ritz, K. Ackroyd, H.

The members of this club will some day be' teachers. Our children will perhaps have them some day for their own teachers. Those chosen for the club were known to be interested in this fine profession. There is a great need for teachers today and this club is help ing to prepare many for a teaching career.

H. S. is the Boost er's Club. Last year it was inaugurated here at Willoughby and after a hard start finally started to run smoothly this year. This club provides members with a special cheering section at the football games. This sec tion is roped off and only members are allowed to go into this section The ofhcers chosen for this year were Marge Findlay, presidentg Nancy Myers, secretaryg and Arlene Schad, treasurer. This club should prosper in future years because it really does a ine job of promoting school spirit among the students. We hope that it will gain prominence here at Willoughby High School in future years. 67 Q56-k Qui 5 69 ,,,..1- . 1 Music Groups In the evening the weary prospectors used to go down to the Old Opry House. Here they would enjoy the ine music that was presented by their local music groups. At W. H. S. we have some very fine talent that is represented by the A Cappella Choir and the Girls' Glee Club. These groups have gained their success the hard way-through constant practice. These groups are both under the direction of Mr. Hamer Mitchell, a new member of our faculty. This year the music groups presented an operetta under the joint di- rection of Mr. Mitchell and Miss Alice Barkow. Their choice for this year was Meet Arizona, a western operetta that provided many with a fine evening's entertainment. The officers of the A Cappella Choir were: Jim Mitchell, president, Bob Olsson, vice-president, Rita Chappell, secretary, and Barbara Stury, treasurer. The members of the Girls Glee Club chose Pauline Robinson for their president, while her fellow officers were Shirley Mutch, vice-president, Amy Sharp, secretary and Sue Clements, treasurer. Band No Lens would ever be complete without saying a few Words about one of the most popular organizations here at Willoughby. This or- ganization and its activities are carried on under the direction of Mr. Charles Ruddick, their leader and advisor. Of course, you all know that we're talking about the Band. This year it carried on many activities. Of course, one of the highlights of the year is the annual banquet, but the big thrill was their trip to New York in July to parade down Fifth Avenue as part of the Lions' convention. The band also went to one of the Cleveland BroWn's games where they with various other schools played during the half. The concert was held in October together with the music groups as it is every year. The officers for this year were Carroll Locke, president, Gene Mason, vice-president, Dorothy Taitt, secretaryg and Jim Mitchell, treasurer. The girls that strutted down the field with the band this year were Louise Cardisco, Edna Davidson, Lois Saler, Dorothy Taitt, and Florence Troy. 70 X ...-- X Mn if ,,, -X a g ff Mia-as Lens Staff During the past few months we, the Lens staff, could be found Work- ing long into the nights to obtain data on our centennial predecessors, the 49ers.

Y I A l f X fax ---J 'T Eijig Football After a poor showing in the Lake Shore League in 1947, about sixty Ranger hopefuls turned out for prac- tice in August. Under coaches Harry Winters and Stan Foster, the squad was destined to win five and lose four, ending the season tied for second with the Paines- ville 'Red Raiders. Hope ran high as the school year began for a very successful grid season. As the Rangers prepared themselves for the first game, a few changes were noted-one of these being the shifting of center Jim Fenton to fullback, thus com- pleting an inexperienced backiield. Another stabiliz- ing move was to change halfback Dave Arter to end to fill a vacancy there. John Walker, who received honorable mention in the state grid poll, Dave Arter, Don Axford, Don Summer, and lan Cadenhead held down the end posts thus in- suring a host of zestful wingmen. Huskies Dick Bertrand, Dick Tittle, Dave Dill, Con- rad Gilkinson, and Bill Bagshaw expertly filled the tackle posts for the Rangers. At the guards Dick Lang, Dan Dougherty, Don Dickson, and Ronald Brown capably completed a strong center section of the fighting Ranger forward wall. To round out the line there was place-kicker Bill Klingensmith and Dick Allen at the center post. ln the backfield there was no one with much ex- perience but it possessed a great deal of speed. The quarterback and field general of the Ranger offense was Dick Brooks, a small but fiery senior. He did an ex- cellent job of running the team regardless of the fact he had no previous experience at this post. Jim Ulmer, a good passer, proved to be an able alternate for Brooks. The scoring power of the T formation lay in Jim Fenton and Len Sadosky fullbacks, and halfbacks Francis Klco and Willard Steele. On defense it was fullback Norm Forsberg and halfbacks Bill Axford and Bob Olsson. Of these Fran Klco was the fastest and was responsible for a good share of the Ranger touchdowns. In the traditional opening game for the Rangers, they traveled to Brush to take on the Arclights. But the inexperienced eleven was not enough to stop the Arc's who won 25 to 7. One bright note was the running of halfback Fran Klco. Garfield Heights was the next opponent for the Rangers. Heights jumped to a thirteen point lead in the first half but in the second half the Rangers began to click. They scored two touchdowns but were unable to convert after either touchdown and lost by a mere point, 13 to 12. ln this game Dave Dill was injured and was out for the remainder of the season. The following week the Rangers invaded Ashtabula Harbor. Displaying a good offensive they racked up their Hrst grid Win since September 19, 1947. Sharing the spotlight on offense for Willoughby were Fran Klco and Jim Fenton and on defense it was Dick Bertrand. Fenton's touchdown in the final minutes gave the Orange and Black its 14 to 7 victory. Geneva fell before the battling Rangers at Lincoln Field for the first home victory since 1946. The Orange and Black were never headed as they won 18 to 6. The outstanding play was probably Klco's ninety- three yard kickoff return at the start of the second half. A very good defense proved the margin of vic- tory. On a wet and dismal Friday night Willoughby trav- eled to Painesville to take on the tough Red Raiders. The wet and muddy field plus some overconfidence took their toll as the Rangers were subdued 18 to 0. Every- thing seemed to go wrong as Painesville never was in serious trouble. The next tussle in the offering was with the champs of the Western Reserve League which was scheduled for Lincoln Field. Although outplayed during the initial half, the Rangers scored on the third play of the second half as Fran Klco went sixty-two yards for the only T. D. of the game. It was a rugged and hard played game throughout and the spectators went home well satisfied in having seen an excellent game. The Trojans of Conneaut were next for the high flying Rangers who were looking ahead a week to their clash with 'Bula. The Orange and Black offense was in good hands as Dick Brooks, Fran Klco, and Willard Steele led the attack. The team looked superb on the defense with Bill Klingensmith doing an excellent job. One thing the Rangers could not do was stop Tony Arcaro. Arcaro was the leading ground gainer of the night as he gained most of Conneaut's yardage but this did no good as the Rangers won handily 21 to 6. Against Ashtabula the Rangers were completely out- classed as the 'Bula team continued to dominate the Lake Shore League play. 'Bula scored on the ninth play of the game and from there on in were never in trouble. The Panther baekfield and line was just too much for Willoughby to stop. This was the Rangers' most de- cisive loss of the season as the final read 35 to 0. Beat Mentor! A traditional cry this, and the Rang- ers determined to do it to avenge their loss to 'Bula and their loss of '47 to Mentor. In the season final the team ripped the Cardinal line apart to win 27 to 7. It was never very close as everyone got into the act to end the season on a cheerful note. This win over Mentor gave the Rangers a tie with Painesville for second place in the Lake Shore League. The Ranger team rolled up Hfteen touchdowns in the course of the season with Fran Klco getting seven of these, Willard Steele two, Jim Fenton two, John Walker two, Dick Brooks one, and Bill Axford one. Bill Klin- gensmith kicked the extra points and made good nine of his tries. Next season has the aspects of being one of the Rangers' best years since there will be many returning lettermen to bolster the squad morally as well as physically. FOOTBALL SQUAD fu E a..

Irene is president of the Girls WH Club, cheerleader, and a member of the National Honor Society. Everybody couldn't be queen so the remaining six girls who were runners up for the title made up the court. The following girls were introduced at the festivities as Pauline Robin- son-president of the Friendship Club, janet Norris-head drum ma- jorette, Amy Sharp-vice-president of the Friendship Club, jackie Grady -Searchlight Staff, Pat Thompson-cheerleader and Sally Daniels, who is a member of the National Honor Society, were the lucky choices. Harold Swope, student council president, crowned Irene in the name of the retiring '48 Queen, Anne Wells, with a black and orange crown decorated with miniature goal posts and flowers. John Walker, the elected football captain, presented the girls with their flowers. The court received corsages of mums and Irene carried a bouquet of lovely yellow roses. The Rangers came through with a smashing victory over Mentor, 27 -6. Cheerleaders Boosting the morale of the W. H. S. student body during the athletic events was the task of the iive varsity cheerleaders and the six reserve cheerleaders. As head cheerleader senior Sally Daniels led seniors Irene Gunvalsen and Pat Thompson and sophomores Vincy Rugnetta and Lois Shunk- wiler through a very successful season. Comprising the reserve varsity team were Marge Brown, Mary Ann Broden, Colleen Grady, Marlene Winters, Bonnie Douda and Gerry Campbell. 79 ,,.f1- Q- J uf, Z . L I X .L l ' Basketball The Rangers under coach Gerald Babson began their '48-49 cage season with only three returning varsity letter men plus four from the junior varsity of '47-48. The Rangers wound up the season much higher than they had done the previous year with a second place in the Lake Shore League by capturing 8 victories against 4 defeats. The regular season's record was 11 Wins and 8 losses. Center Don Axford played his second year as a member of the varsity Hve and has one more year to show his prowess. Moose was very effective under the basket as he used his height to great advantage. Forward Bill Axford also played his second and last year on the varsity. Fans will long remember his specialty, the one hand push shot and his deadly ac- curacy. Ed Newyear Hlled in capably the shoes of Dave Young who had graduated. Although it was his first year on the varsity five he proved himself adept at all times. Dick Brooks took over one of the two guard posts for the Rangers and proved to be a game saver for the team. Moe's deadly accuracy with a two hand set shot plus his speed made him a target for the opposition to try to stop. At the other guard post was Dave Zeke Arter, who had played on the junior varsity the year before. Dave was ambidextrous and provided the opposing team with much trouble. In case any of varsity men became a little weary there were Len Sadosky, Fran Klco and Ian cadenhead to relieve the tired man at forward or at center. Sadosky shows much promise for a sophomore and should prove to be a valuable member of the '49-'50 team. Both Klco and Cadenhead are seniors who did an excellent piece of work when they were needed. To help out at the guards were John Walker, Vic Naegellan, Ralph Dolence, and Bob Coghill. Vic Nae- gellan proved to be a good replacement on the varsity and a boy to watch. Dolence and Walker fulfilled their duties admirably when the occasion arose. The Rangers began their season by taking on the Red Raiders of Painesville in a league contest. But the Raiders were more than a match for the Orange and Black as the team lost its first decision 39-24. The following night the Rangers tried to atone for their loss to Painesville by chalking up their initial win of the season over Kirtland 43-35. Willoughby was never in much trouble as they throttled Kirtland's scoring attempts. Don Axford was high for the Rang- ers with l2 points but both Schupp and Foster of Kirtland equaled his mark. To prove that traveling to Geneva was not for nothing, the Rangers subdued a hard fighting Eagle squad 42-39 for their first league win. Willoughby showed its stuff by coming from behind to win the hectic battle. Marsh of Geneva was high point man with 12, followed closely by Bill Axford and Dave Arter with ll each. Despite a desperate rally by the Mentor Cardinals in the fourth period, the Rangers weathered the storm and notched their second victory on the Annex court and the third of the season. The Rangers had just too much scoring power for the Cardinals to suppress. Moose Axford was high for the Orange and Black with 11 but Covert of Mentor took point honors with 12. An alumni team took the place of Wooster on the N 7' 1-1. ' 2 MV yggxfi, R 4. Q' v' ftfaa-L. Basketball continued Ranger schedule. In spite of the varsity's fiht and determination the Alumni won this very evenly matched game 40-35. Newyear poured 10 points thru the hoop for the varsity but Hilderbrand notched 11 for the Alumni. The highly rated Conneaut Trojans were next on the Annex floor. The Ranger scoring punch was too much for the Trojans as Willoughby won a low scoring game 31-22. Zeke Arter was hot as he led the attack with 12 points. Shaker Heights just had too much height and ac- curacy for the battling Rangers. Bill Axford did his best but his 14 points were not enough to lead the Rangers to victory. The Willoughby Rangers bowed to the Ashtabula Panthers by the score of 58-25. 'Bula had too much scoring power plus their air tight defense for the Rang- ers to cope with successfully. Gephart poured 16 points thru the hoop to show 'Bula the way. The Mariners of Ashtabula Harbor were the foes for the Rangers the next night. Thrills and excitement constituted the major part of the game. Moe Brooks kept the Rangers in the game with 16 points as pande- monium reigned in the last 15 seconds of play. Harbor was leading by 2 points and freezing the ball to insure a victory for them. One of the Mariners tried to pass the ball under the basket to another Mariner but Ed Newyear intercepted the pass, dribbled the length of BASKETBALL ls! Row: R. Lederer, V. Naegellen, B. Setzer, L.

Willoughby's next victory was sweet because it was over Painesville and put them into undisputed second place in the league. With Dave Arter leading the way with ll points and with a good defense, the Orange and Black subdued the Red Raiders handily 42-37. An exhibition with the Blue Devils of Wickliffe was the next objective for the Orange and Black tide. Wickliffe jumped to an early lead, but the Rangers led by Ed Newyear stormed back to win the game 52-43. Newyear was the big gun in the Ranger attack caging 14 tallies but was tied with Caruso of Wickliffe for high point honors. On a snowy Saturday night the Kirtland Hornets took on the Rangers on the Hornet floor. The Hor- nets seemed to be on fire as they jumped to an early 10-0 lead over the Rangers. But then the never say die Rangers began to hit with regularity and won easily 52-49. Bill Axford swished the net for 16, while Brooks and Arter made 15 and 13 respectively but Foster of Kirtland ended the night with 27. The Geneva Eagles pulled a major upset the follow- ing week by up-ending the Rangers on the Annex floor. The Eagles won 39-32. Don Axford was the only one to score more than 10 for Willoughby as he netted 12. Arkenberg for Geneva nailed 14 counters. The next night Willoughby swamped the lowly Mentor Cardinals, 40-21. An air tight defense plus a good offense spelled the difference in the two teams. Dave Arter nailed 8 points for the highest total of the night. Willoughby traveled to Conneaut to battle the Trojans. In one of the closest games in the Lake Shore League season the Rangers repulsed the Trojans in an overtime 40-37. The game was packed with ex- citement, chills, and thrills as the teams battled evenly on the match box floor. Moe Brooks was the hero of the game for Willoughby as he netted 19 important points. The Panthers of Ashtabula again were too much for the Rangers to stop as 'Bula won easily 49-29. The Rangers wound up their league season with many a thrill at Ashtabula Harbor by winning 43-42. Harbor led all the way until late in the fourth period when the Rangers exploded with Brooks making a basket and a foul shot with 14 seconds left in the game. Bill Axford scored 18 to end his league career. This victory gave Willoughby undisputed second place in the Lake Shore League. In an exhibition game the following night against Fairport, the Western Reserve League champs, the Rangers were downed 43-40. The Skippers just had too much height for the Rangers to stop but it was a very close game all the way with the score tied nu- merous times. Brooks and Arter each notched 9 points but Peterson and Winchell of Fairport nailed 13 apiece. Playing their third game in four days, the Rangers played Shaw in the first round of the Shore Tourney. The strain of the previous two games showed in the Ranger attack as they were ousted from the tourney 62-38. Shaw got off to a fast start and never were in trouble as Fort of the Cardinals poured 26 points thru the hoop. The Ranger team of '49-'50 shouldiplace high among the leaders of the Lake Shore League because of the good material returning and the moving up of junior varsity material. Again as the year before Bill Axford led the team for the year with 155 points followed by Dick Brooks with 142, Don Axford with 130, Dave Arter with 129, Ed Newyear with 90, and Len Sadosky with 34. s ,lm 1 if its Qi 1 Girls Sports During the course of events that take place at W, H. S. there come very enthusiastic groups of girls for participation in sports, which are played on a strictly feminine basis with the idea of good health in mind. The girls are signed up according to the grade they are ing captains are chosen and teams are icked to com ete with the various other classes P P which all in all make up some keen competition. There are many different sports at Willoughby, including archery, field hockey, badminton, basketball, volleyball, baseball, golf, tennis, and last but by no means least, track. There are two sports clubs at W. H. S. One is the G. A. A. which stand for Girls' Athletic Association. Thirty-ive points are required before membership can be obtained. These points are acquired through active participation in school sports and numerous outside activities. As the ultimate goal of a sports minded girl there is the W Club, which consists of twenty girls. These girls are chosen through various traits, such as personality, scholarship, health, and ability. Each Thurs- day the W Club holds a meeting and every member is required to wear her W Club uniform. The W Club takes part in many special events such as meetings with other schools and in the spring it has a ban- quet Which includes the induction of new members. 84 ...--- X if genial.. i dm, Intramurals This past year the inmates of W. H. S. enjoyed a thorough intramural sports program. With athletic director Harry Winters directing, the various classes participated in touch football, volleyball, basketball, and a myriad of minor sports. Senior Home Room 202 and Sophomore 307 battled through the schedule with the seniors taking first in touch football and second in two other sports, and room 307 taking Hrsts in both team 21 and team foul shootings. When the year's smoke had cleared, it became obvious that these two homerooms were equal in ability and spirit. They were tied at 125 intramural points apiece, and winners of the various other events on the calendar were, sophomore homeroom 103, which claimed the volleyball championship and the seniors in 112, who struggled through a tight season to take the basketball crown. In the intramural track meet put on by the varsity Club the winning class received points toward the noon-time trophy. With each class allowed two men in each event, speculation ran high among the spec- tators and the contestants themselves as to the winner of the various events. Because the members of the track and baseball teams were not allowed to enter the events all the events were wide open. The meet was evenly matched right up to the end between the Seniors, juniors, and Sophomores with the broad jump the deciding factor. In this the Sophomores swept first and second to clinch the meet with the Juniors second, the Seniors third, and the Freshmen fourth and last. 85 ,..1- . 'N img-VX A Q varsity Club A need was felt at W. H. S. to honor the varsity men who have gained their letters by participating in the sports at school. To fill this need a varsity club was organized at Willoughby. The first officers elected for this club were Dick Brooks, presidentg Dick Bertrand, vice-presidentg Joe O'Donnell, secretary and Dave Arter, treasurer. Every member is required to wear his letter on Friday of each week. During the year this club sponsored the Varsity Dance, which was the highlight of the year. Many other activities keep this club busy during the year but they found time to boost the morale of their fellow players by sitting in their reserved section at the games to cheer our boys on to victory. This was really a step forward in W. H. S. history and We hope that this club will become an established club of Willoughby High School. Wig Club Fair play was common practice among those pioneers of 1849. Fair play means a lot here at W. H. S. too. The club that develops these high ideals in the minds of our girls is the W Club. This club keeps the minds and bodies of our girls fit. The girls chose for their omcers this year Irene Gunvalsen, presidentg Mary Lou Tesar, vice-presidentg Lois Hess, treasurerg and Barbara Torok, secretary. To get into this club a member must first gain points as a member of the W. A. A. This club is like the W', Club but its members do not have as many privileges as the W Club girls do. Once a member gets in the W Club she must gain enough points to remain a member by participating in the girls' sports. This club promotes various activities during the year such as the an- nual Barn Dance all under the direction of Mrs. Jeanne Mann-its ad- visor. 86 nf' -,.-f ,.- .cmwr WUI: a we?-X ni VARSITY CLUB Isl Row: W.

With about ten men returning from the previous year Coach Stan Foster had very high hopes for his team which looked extremely well in practice. In the first game, a practice game against Solon, the Rangers lost anextra inning affair by the score of 7 to 6 on a few costly mistakes. Against Painesville the Rangers ran into more difficulty as they lost S to 4. The Rang- ers started off like a house afire but the Raiders rallied in the sixth inning for four runs which gave Painesville the win. In their first league game against Brush the Willoughby lads were defeated at Todd Field, 7 to 4. Errors once again paved the way for the opposition to win. jim Ulmer had in per- fect day with three out of three withuvfjne of these being a triple. The Rangers recorded their first league win by defeating Bedford 9 to 1. Bill Hayward pitched five hitless innings for the Rangers before being relieved and received excellent support afield and at the bat. Wooster provided the team for Willoughby to face. This proved to be a tougher game than expected as the game went ten innings before the Rangers were able to push across the Winning run. Glen Rudloff went all the way for Willoughby giving up only eight hits to Wooster. The following night the Rangers traveled to Euclid Shore to play the Admirals. A two run rally in the fourth inning gave the Wil- loughby lads a 3-2 victory. Hayward hurled for the winners and gave up only five hits in the course of the game while Abey of Shore gave up seven. Bob Olsson led the Rangers with two for two. Bill Hayward won a mound duel against Brush in the next game for Willoughby. The game was close all of the way as the Rangers cinched the game in the sixth inning by scor- ing two big runs. The final was 4-3. The Rangers seemed to be hitting their mid- season stride as they clicked off anotli' league win over Garfield Heights 8-6. Despite Gar- field's rally in the final inning that netted them four runs as Glen Rudloff bore down to stop them. Dave Dill and Vic Naegellan led the hitting attack for the Rangers. Six Garfield errors also helped the Rangers to the victory. Euclid Shore took an 8-3 triumph over Wil- loughby in a fairly one-sided battle in league play at Todd Field. The thirteen safeties off Hayward paved the way for the Admirals as they overcame a 3-2 deficit in the last few in- nings to pile up their runs. Dill hit the long- est ball of the day by driving out a triple. Willoughby's Rangers remained a definite threat in league play by defeating Bedford 9-6. The Ranger batsmen blasted out a 12 hit fContinuf'd on next pagej 5 fisasia-far ' ,Sa assault on the Bedford hurler with Dill, Hilde- brandt, and Rudloff each blasting out a triple. Dill also threw out three men attempting to steal and caught two foul balls for a good night's work. Willoughby's hopes to nail the Metropolitan League Baseball crown were smothered by the league leading Bulldogs of Garfield Heights 14-12. After Garfield led 8-1 goinglinto the last of the fourth inning the Rangers came up with nine runs to lead 10-8. The Bulldogs came back with three runs in the sixth to sew up the game. Dave Dill led the Ranger bats- men in getting four out of five while Wayne Hildebrandt hit a home run. In an independent game the Rangers lost a close decision to Mayfield 6-5. Against the Geneva Eagles the Rangers were unable to hit Costille's pitching and were shut out 6-0. Geneva got off to a fast start and was never headed from then on in. Jim Mul- roy got two for three for the Rangers. The Rangers fell once more before the three hit shutout pitched by Tommy Pietila of Painesville as he faced only 25 men. The Raiders scored twice in the first inning and coasted from there on in. MEMBERS OF BASEBALL TEAM E. Stewart, D. Wcyrauch, D. Axford, J. Walker, W. Hildebrandt, D. Brooks, D. Dill, R. Olsson, J.

The team was bolstered by four returning lettermen-John Walker, Don Axford, Jim Ulmer and Dick Tomsu, but because Walker and Ulmer had to alternate between the base- ball and golf squads, the Rangers lost their first three matches when inexperienced sub- stitutes were used. However, when the golf team was at full strength, the Rangers won the final three by whipping Painesville twice and Cleveland Heights once, after Cleveland Heights edged Wfilloughby earlier and Brush won twice during the first part of the season. Senior lettermen John Walker, Jim Ulmer and Ducky Bistarkey played in their last match for Willoughby, while Don Axford and Dick Tomsu, along with substitutes Wayne Hague, George Walker, and Paul Rit- tenhouse, will be back next year. Willoughby didn't do as well this year in the district meet as they did last year when the team Went to Columbus, but John Walker gave an all-around stellar performance by carding an 85, one of the low scores in the district. Mr. Wike seems to be arousing a lot of golf interest lately because over a dozen candidates tried out this year while only a handful showed up last year. PS' MEMBERS OF GOLF TEAM jim Ulmer, Don Axford, Jack Walker, Dick Tomsu, Coach Wike, George Walker, Ronald Newyear, Donald Bistarkey, Paul Rittenhouse. mx Exam?-as U Track With track practice starting in April under the new track coach, Bob Ralls, the Rangers began a very successful season a few weeks later. As the Rangers prepared for their first meet they showed that they were to be reck- oned with in the Lake Shore League Meet. The definite standouts of the team who contributed much to the Ranger title hopes were Francis Klco in the dashes and 880 yard relay team and Dick Bertrand in the weight and pole vault events. Other members of the team who helped it to gain prestige were Jack Jenny in the hurdles, broad jump, and 880 yard relayg Darrell Gregoire in the hurdles and broad jump, Russel Stevens and Ian Caden- head in the half mile, Ed Newyear in the mile, Chuck Baker in the high jump, and Lowell Zeigler, Charles White, and Norm Barnard in the 440. In the first meet against Mentor and Paines- ville, the Rangers made a good showing by taking down second behind Mentor. The meet was neck and neck all the way with Mentor pulling ahead in the final events. Be- fore this meet Willoughby Was not considered very strong but after the meet the Rangers rocketed into importance. The majority of the Ranger points came from Klco's victories in the 199 and 220 yard dashes, Jenny's win in the 220-yard low hurdles, Bertrand's fine push in the shot and the victory of the 880 yard relay team composed of Klco, jenny, Mitchell, and Fenton. After their setback by Mentor, Willoughby tackled Shaker Height's Red Raiders. This meet also proved to be a thriller as the Rangers eked out a 61-S 7 victory as the mile relay was the deciding factor. Willoughby's firsts came in the 100 and 220 yard dashes by Franny Klco, 440 yard dash by Lowell Zeiglerg discus, shot put, and pole vault by Dick Bertrand, broad jump by Darrell Gregoire, the high jump by Chuck Baker, the 880 yard relay by Klco, Jenny, Mitchell, and Fentong and the mile relay by Fenton, White, Zeigler, and Barnard. This victory proved Willoughby to be a definite track power in its district. Traveling to Wooster the Rangers virtually annihilated the Generals track team by romp- ing 80M to 37 M. The Rangers took every first except the mile and pole vault although in the latter Dick Bertrand tied the school rec- ord by vaulring 11 feet. Bertrand also set a new mark in the discus by throwing the plat- ter 140 feet 5 inches which bettered the old mark of 139 feet 2 inches. At Euclid Central Willoughby continued its victory streak by subduing Central 87-54. This victory was the third straight win for the Rangers after their second place finish against Mentor and Painesville. The Mentor Relays was next on tap for the Ranger Squad to try to win. But the com- petition proved too tough for the Rangers to cope with and so they came in fifth, trailing Brush. Despite their apparent poor showing there were several excellent showings for the Rangers. Besides the regular events there were two special events which Willoughby entered-the 300 yard dash and the 120 yard high hurdles. Fran Klco won the 300 yard dash and set a new meet record and Darrell Gregoire took down a third in the high hurdles. Ashtabula provided the next opponent for the Rangers. This was another close meet with both teams at about the same strength. But in the final events 'Bula pulled ahead to win by six points, S616-SOM. Fran Klco paced the Rangers by winning the 100 and 220 yard dashes, while Dick Bertrand won the discus, shot put, and pole vault, and Jack jenny won the 120 yard low hurdles. Both the Ranger relay teams also won. At Rocky River Relays the Rangers nailed fContim1va' on next pagej Z '1'X ,.,.-4'- f ,1- down sixth place. Fran Klco was second be- hind Paul Minner of Rocky River who set a new relay record in the 100 yard dash of 10.1. At the Lake Shore League Meet the Rang- ers once again trailed 'Bula to the wire as Ashtabula won the championship with 562 to the Rangers SOM. Fran Klco once again set the pace by winning the 220 and 100 yard dashes while tying the record of 10 seconds in the latter. Both the Ranger relay teams also Won giving Willoughby four firsts. Bertrand received a fifth in the shot put, a third in the discus, and a tie for second in the pole vaultg Gregoire nailed a second in the high hurdlesg Zeigler a second in the 440 and White a fifth in the 440g Jenny a second in the low hurdlesg Kobus a third in the 220 yard dash, and Caden- xr, H 6' ! L ff of 5 head a third in the 880 and Barnard a fifth in the 880 yard run to get all of Willoughby's points. In the District Meet at Rhodes field Fran Klco and Dick Bertrand provided the points for the Rangers. Klco qualified for the state finals in the 100 yard dash and the 220 yard dash by taking a first in the former and a sec- ond in the latter. Dick Bertrand qualified for the state finals in Winning the discus and al- though he placed fourth in the shot put and tied for fourth in the pole vault, failed to qualify in them. Next year's team will have a large order if they expect to do as well as this year's team. But the students of Willoughby should look forward to another good year in track. TRACK TEAM lsf Rouf: R.
