INDUSTRIAL ARTS i ERHAPS A 2 this is the , '::: ' most interest- 'X, ,llv ing and most X N ' fascinating di- .. l vision in th e A V' ei curriculum of Q studies which the boys enjoy at Withrow. It is indeed the program to .which the boy student is most naturally attracted. By clothing the academic subject in a practical aspect, the studies are made easier for the student to grasp. The purpose of this industrial arts pro- gram is not, as many suspect, to make a tradesman out of the boy, but to give him all the possible information about the in- dustrial environment in which he lives. Architectural and mechanical drawing, cabinet and pattern making, foundry work, metal work, machine shop work, printing and electricity are embraced in this varied program. Work in these subjects begins in the seventh year, in some cases, and lasts through the twelfth year. This is a great advantage to junior high school boys as they could never have taken these courses in the regular seventh and eighth grades of the public schools. The mechanical drawing course, which runs from the seventh through the twelfth years, and architectural drawing, which is studied by eleventh and twelfth year stu- dents, are merely the foundation for a more strenuous study of the subject in college. Incidentally, the popular illusion that a boy taking the industrial arts course cannot enter college is not true. Many boys, graduating from this course, have entered universities and have completed their work with a high rating, one boy even winning a Phi Beta Kappa scholarship key. It is interesting to note that the boys in the architectural draw- ing group have made plans for and have constructed a miniature home, perfect in every detail. The printers put out all announcements, bulletins, card forms, and slips for the use of the school, besides printing the junior News, the publication of the junior high school. Quite a few extra-curricular organizations in this division have made accomplishments which are well worth mentioning here. Aero Club members, with their model planes, have captured high honors in all local meets. Members of the Glider Club have been busily engaged all winter in building a full- sized glider which they are about to give its maiden flight. Radio enthusiasts have been busily engaged sending messages through Withrow's amateur transmitting station, which, incidentally, was built by our own boys. Over forty-eight different stations have been communicated with. May we again reiterate the statement that the industrial arts course is not primarily intended as a training course for the future tradesman. It is merely the general course plus valuable industrial information and ex- perience. WILLARD MULFORD. THE SCIENCES W 44 O bring about a definite conclusive understanding of the prime funda- mentals of the natural sciences. This state- ment might well be taken as the goal toward which the scientific department at Witlirow is continually striving. This group of sub- jects which includes chemistry, physics, mathematics, botany, zoology, physiology and general science has, with the exception of English, a larger number of students pur- suing it than any other in the curriculum. It covers completely the ever-broadening field of scientific knowledge and presents suf- ficient well-rounded fundamentals to give an excellent start in any scientific field. At Wfithrow this department is fortunate enough to be the proud possessor of some of the finest equipment. The chemistry divi- sion has three lecture rooms and three com- pletely equipped laboratories. The general science classes possess three modern combi- nation laboratory and lecture rooms, while the other groups possess equally ample and excellent equipment. Add to this fine equip- ment the fact that the work is directed by, and under the careful supervision of, skilled and competent instructors and it is no won- der that some fine scientific workers have gone from Withrow. From the time a student takes his first freshman science lesson until his senior year, his knowledge of science work is piling up and accumulating, whether he takes just two courses necessary for graduation or covers the field completely. In the mathematics group four years of real mechanical background for any science are offered. This includes three phases of algebra, plane a n d s o l i d geometry, and trigonometry. In addition to being a com- plete course in itself, this group presents a real means of attacking the problems .- . ml'-'l '2+'9: which arrive in WHKWU later scientific work, particularly physics and chemistry. In addition to mathematics there are three other options, general science, bot- any, and zoology. If he chooses general science, he is providing an excellent background for his junior and senior physics and chemistry. If he chooses botany or zoology he provides a means for an easier course in his sophomore physiology. Turning from the first two years it can be seen that the sciences of the last two, chemistry and physics, go hand in hand. Either can be studied independent of the other, but both interlock in numerous ways. Thus it is obvious that the scientific de- partment is like a huge chain in which each link fits perfectly into its mate. Yet it is an unusual chain in that it permits the removal of any one link without injury to the parts of the whole. Such a chain is well nigh perfect and just such a chain is the scientific department which provides, through careful selection, a thorough fundamental scientific background which is being stressed at pres- ent as a real asset in both cultural and com- mercial education. BOB BUTLER. COMMERCIAL EDUCATION HE Commercial Department of Witli- row is one of the busiest departments of the school. Although it has only four years in which to prepare students for their future work, its task is always thoroughly hnished. In those four years the student is prepared in all types of commercial work so that he is able to take advantage of any op- portunity which may come his way. In the bookkeeping part of the Commer- cial Department the different methods of keeping books are studied. Thus the com- mercial student is familiar with and can keep books for any type of business. In his nrst year the student is given a general knowledge of bookkeeping. I-Ie learns the rules and applies them by working on a simple set of books. junior accounting, which is in the course for the junior year, is another study of bookkeeping. This is a study of the funda- mentals of Cost Accounting, where all types of accounts are analyzed. junior Business Training also comes under the general heading of bookkeeping. This subject deals with the different kinds of commercial papers, how to write them, how to use them, and why they are in use. This subject and Commercial Arithmetic together make one year's work. Commercial Arith- metic quickens the students common use of arithmetic by showing him many short cuts to the answer. The student in the bookkeeping depart- ment is also made familiar with the various kinds of bookkeeping machinery. The Stenographic section of the Commer- cial Department includes all work which a stenographer must know. The students are carefully drilled until their hands can move rapidly across the stenography pad. Short- hand is begun in the second year of the com- mercial course, and is continued throughout the last three years. Typing is studied for four years. Other subjects which aid greatly with secretarial work are: filing, penmanship, office training, store service, and business correspondence. These subjects are invalu- able to one who wishes to progress in the business world. Commercial law gives the student a glimpse of the many legal entanglements which grow out of a small mistake on a commercial paper. It teaches him how to avoid these unnecessary mixups. The pupil is also taught how to make contracts, notes, drafts, etc. Students in the Commercial Department have three opportunities to work in the main office of Witlirow, once during their junior year, and twice during the senior year. This opportunity enables them to practice the work they will do in a business office. They have an opportunity to operate the switch-board, meet with visitors, and type letters for the school. After completing the work of the Com- mercial Department in Witlirow, a student may continue the work in college. For one who has completed the work in this depart- ment and who has not shirked, there are un- limited opportunities after graduation. A commercial course starts the young man or young, woman on the right road to success. MARGARET B. TAYLOR. PHYSICAL EDUCATION HYSICAL EDUCATION at Witlirow has as its purpose, both in the boys' and girls' departments, the advancement and building of a more sturdy and finished body. Witlm this view in mind the instructors have, with the excellent facilities available, planned a most helpful and thoroughly en- joyable program of work. In both gyms two periods of work each week are required of every student. In both groups this work is given in the nature of competitive and corrective exercise. This work is divided into two periods. In the first two years the gym work is almost entirely instructive. During this period the student learns how to acquire grace and ease both on the Hoor and apparatus. The last two years are spent in the acquisition of pro- ficiency in the many sports in which the stu- dent may participate. In addition to its ob- vious value to the student, this work has often been helpful to the department, for many a real athlete has been discovered in this manner. One period of swimming each week is also required of boys, and the plan and result of the work in the natatorium is almost the same as that in the gym classes. Swimming after school, under competent instruction, has been one of the more popular of extra- curricular activities in the past few years. Before taking any physical education work physical examinations are given, and special help is offered to those who need it. In the girls' gym additional interest is created by competition in such group games as hockey, basketball, track, swimming, volley-ball, and kickball. In this work native ability is polished up, and the competition teaches the girls the essence of good sports- manship and fair play. Probably the greatest drawing card of the girls' gym is the Girls' Athletic Association. This group encourages girls to shoulder re- sponsibility so that they may become capable and efficient leaders. It also offers the op- portunity for a girl to win her all-round W, the acme of athletic achievement for girls at Witlmrow. The chief outside interest of the boys' de- partment is the sponsoring of the school teams which compete against other high schools of the city and state in well-planned and well-organized schedules. Deserving members of these teams are awarded a NW in their respective sport. This is a most cherished honor. In addition to the regular gym classes and interscholastic teams, the boys' gym sponsors intramural athletics. This type of work offers opportunities to boys who, because of weight or other handicaps, are unable to gain a position on the squad. Remarkable team and group spirit has grown up in this type of game, and suitable rewards to the winners has added zest to the competition. So it may be seen that at Wfithrow the physical education work is not narrowed to any small group or groups, but is far reach- ing and comprehensive in its scope. This obviously should be the purpose of the physical education work in any school. NANCY GORDON. BOB BUTLER. FOREIGN LANGUAGES f HE Foreign Language Department of Withrow includes Latin, French, Span- ish, and German. Each language has its own peculiar value to the student, and each opens a different field of literature and cul- ture. The Latin department is headed by Miss Alice Donnelly, and offers a four years' study of that language. Latin is valuable because, since seventy-five percent of the words in the English language are derived from the Latin, a knowledge-of it makes English more vivid. Latin students become acquainted with the lives and customs of the Romans, and with Roman culture. Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic Wars gives them history from the pen of a maker of history. They explore the fields of oratory and literature with Cicero, and Vergil's Aeneid and Ovid's Metamor- phoses give them Latin poetry at its best. Miss Catherine james heads the French department. Since French comes third in the list of languages that are spoken most widely in the world, a knowledge of French is valuable to one who travels, as it enables him quickly to adapt himself to his sur- roundings in French-speaking countries. In classes, parts of Victor Hugo's Les Miser- ablesf jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, short stories of Guy de Mau- passant, and stories of Alexandre Dumas are read. Famous authors like these are the out- standing figures in French literature, and their works are not only entertaining, but instructive. The Spanish department, directed by Miss Mary Louise Perkins, is one of the most pop- ular in Withrow, judging by numbers. Spanish is essential in business and in com- merce carried on in Latin countries, and for this reason many commercial students study this language. Spanish students become familiar not only with the history and legends of Spain, and with stories of' its gay and colorful people, but they study, too, the customs and current affairs in modern Spain and read about her great and famous cities. They gain a more fluent speaking knowledge by singing Spanish songs in class. The German department, of which Dr. Schoenle is the head, is becoming increas- ingly popular year by year, it is regaining its pre-war status, and recovering from the arti- ficial decline in interest it suffered during the World War. The study of German opens up the rich field of German literature and culture, and the rich storehouse of German history. Next to English, ,German is the most widely spoken language and therefore is almost essential for travel and foreign business. German also has a peculiar value to English students, because it is the key to those words which have come into English from the Saxon. A German students read the lyrics and bal- lads of the great German poets whose names are known everywhere, Goethe, Heine, and Schiller. They read the memoirs of a Ger- man who served both his fatherland and America, Carl Schurz. They learn the cus- toms of Germany and her many old legends. In each language section, the students or- ganize clubs and add further to their knowl- edge of the language. ANN MCELFRESH. ENGLISH LITERATURE NE of the most important and best known departments in Withrow is the English department. Every student in the school, regardless of the course he takes, must study English in each of his four years. The purpose of the department is three- fold. It aims to prepare students for college work, to offer pupils knowledge of the best in English literature, and to give them con- trol of the English language in both speech and written composition. In preparation for college one must know something about English literature and its history. He must be acquainted with essays, poetry, plays, novels, and short stories, and know the fundamental principles for writing them. A student entering college should be able to speak correctly, clearly, and force- fully. All of these things are taught in the English department through literature, com- position, grammar, and elocution. The friends made in books never change, and in the study of literature one finds many such friends. By reading the works of the best writers, the students taste is guided toward the selection of worthwhile literature with which to beguile his leisure hours. Withrow's finely equipped library is ready with its hundreds of fascinating books of fiction, science, history, fine arts, travel, and biography, to satisfy that hunger for good reading which is thus aroused. In the daily period of English many new ideas are suggested by the book or poem under study, and vitally interesting discus- sions, sometimes occupying the whole period, are awakened by perhaps just one short line in that book or poem. Some- thing intangible, yet immensely valuable, thus is brought into being. Both in literature and in composition is one taught closer observation and keener ap- preciation of the happenings in the world about him. Through literature one experi- ences all kinds of adventures vicariously, through composition one learns to organize and record his observations and adventures in an interesting, imaginative, and informa- tive way. Creative composition nourishes the new ideas and flights of imagination which are springing up in the mind. Enough grammar is taught to enable the student to speak and to write his native language correctly. The study of grammar is continued in high school not to make periods boring, but to help the individual pupil. One must know how to talk properly no matter what one's vocation may be, and the purpose of teaching grammar is to pro- vide that essential knowledge. Elocution, too, is part of the English course. In this study, which is required of juniors and seniors, one learns how to speak fluently, clearly, and purposefully before a group. It is here that the need for grammar study is most apparent. Poise and ease of manner are developed, and latent dramatic talent often is aroused in the weekly elocu- tion class. And so, the important English department prepares one for college and the outside world, arouses a love for the finest in liter- ature, fosters new and interesting ideas, and gives one control of both the written and spoken English language.

TO ER N WS SSUANCE of an unusually early first edi- tion, an unusual novelty assembly given in conjunction with the Amzzozf. the sending of a delegation to the National Scholastic Journalism Convention at Cleveland, and the production of an April Fool comic issue combined with the regular appearance of a high type of paper to make the year 1930-51 one of the best in the annals of Tower Neuxr. Several innovations were introduced. One was the policy of using more cuts or pictures to illustrate the news. This feature, which met with instant acclaim, presented sketches and close-ups of prominent faculty members. Another new idea was the featured sports 104 column, Wfboff Wflyo Among the Aflvfefer. This presented intimate sketches of the more or less famous heroes of the scholastic sport world. Late in the year a comic strip known as Proferrof' Dodob' Diary appeared to de- light the readers. As the yearbook goes to press, the mem- bers of the Tower Nezw' staff are busy, in addition to their regular paper, with the preparing of stalgf members for next year. This plan of perpetuity of the staff, in- novated last year, has shown its worth in this year's paper and is now being carried on. much to the betterment of Tower Neuxr and Witl1row's journalism, BOB BUTLER.

In their eager desire to help those freshmen, whose trials they have already ex- perienced, the members of Scribblers, a liter- ary club for girls interested in creative writ- ing, each year compiles the Witlirow Book, a handy guidebook telling everything about the school of interest to the student. Every department in the school is ex- plained brielly, clearly, and informatively. There are maps and directions for finding the various places in the school, explanations of clubs, elections, courses, athletics, prepa- ration for college, scholarships, and all stu- dent activities. The president of Scribblers edits the book, with various committees composed of the other members. Each girl in the club writes articles about the subjects with which she is best acquaint- ed. These are referred to the composition committee, which reads the material and makes the necessary corrections. After all the corrected copy is typed, it is sent to the printer, and returned to the proof-reading committee for correction. The dummy is then pasted up and sent back to the printer to be made into booklets. The committee on art work designs draw- ings for the cover, selecting the best one from this group. This committee also draws floor plans of the school which are so help- ful to wandering strangers, and, especially, to freshies. The publicity and selling committee pro- vides for a proper advertising campaign and sees that every freshman, at least, buys this booklet, which is sure to be of much benefit to him. So it is evident that a great deal of work does into the preparation of this handy little guidebook for the students. VIRGINIA WEBSTER. 106 0 i 'Sr 'HEX I Y w S f . L u f THE LIBRARY UR library with its shelves filled with representative works of ancient and modern authors, covering every class of printed matter desirable for high school stu- dents, is becoming more useful and valuable every year. Placed as it is in the exact center of the building and overlooking the tower and the bridge, it is easily reached from all parts of the school, and students in all de- partments make use of its resources. The school library as it is now presents a somewhat different appearance from that of eleven years ago. The alcoves at either end which were at that time only used for seat- ing are now completely equipped with shelv- ing and are used for the short story, history, and reference sections. Several articles of furniture, such as chairs and tables, have been added to increase the seating capacity. 108 The number of books has been practically doubled. However, the size of the library naturally will not permit any all-inclusive collection of books such as are found in large libraries. It has been the policy, there- fore, to assemble as large a group of repre- sentative works of the best authors as can be handled. Each year a new group of books constituting the very best in current litera- ture is added. Those who know books will affirm that excellent taste and knowledge of the best are shown in their selection. The pleasure every one derives from going to our library may be attributed in no small measure to the fact that it presents an atmos- phere which never fails to add to the enjoy- ment of the pursuit of intellectual develop- ment. U NEWELL BUSH. ART LEAGUE ORMED six years ago, the Art League has been one of the foremost factors in beautifying the halls of our school with paintings. Organized of members of the student body and of the faculty, the league is supported entirely by voluntary contribu- tions by the students. This year the Art League has added to those pictures already on the walls a paint- ing by the well-known Cincinnati artist, Paul Ashbrook. Hanging between rooms 105 and 105, the picture, entitled Cathedral Wall, Tepozotlan, brightens the east hall. Of his painting, Mr. Ashbrook writes the following: Tepozotlan, a few miles from Mexico City, was built originally as a convent by the Jesuits in 1582. The wall seen here in the foreground and the cathedral in the distance 109 are an exquisite example of that bizarre re- ligious style of architecture and decoration known as the Ultra-Barocco or Mexican Baroccof' Among the paintings presented by the league in former years are the murals in the lunch room, the creations of a Cincinnati artist, Louis Endresg also there are the two reproductions of scenes from Abbey's frieze, The Search for the Holy Grail , Indians, by H. Sharp, famous for his Indian por- trayals, Still Life, by Mrs. L. F. Fisher, and Interior, by Elizabeth Nourse. Selecting paintings of color and interest to all the school, the Art League has been performing a valuable service for the school, and one which should continue in the years to come. HOMER JENSEN.

Though our main purpose at Withrow is to satisfy our hunger for knowl- edge, every day at eleven-forty-five great evidence is shown of another hunger equally as important, for then first lunch begins, and everyone is sure to see to it that he gets his share. This year we have an added feature in our lunchroom. It is two new counters, one for boys and one for girls, where ice cream, bread, butter, rolls, custards, and salads may 11 O be obtained by those who do not care for any hot food. Across the hall from the students' lunch- room is the teachers' lunchroom. It is very similar to the students' lunchroom in every way, with student helpers there, also. The lunchrooms are very efliciently and systematically managed by Miss Townley, assisted by Mr. Mathias and Mr. Hunt. We are proud of our beautiful lunchroom with its many smiling, happy, and willing workers, and we will always remember it. JANE MILLIGAN. TOP ROXV: 1. Putman, XV. Eveland, B. Kinney. LOXVER ROW: D.

Through the efforts and co-operation of both teachers and students, there are now approximately one thousand depositors. Last year there were approxim- ately 850 depositors. This is a remarkably large percent of our pupils. The banking ofhce, located in room 120, is open every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning from 8:00 A. M. to 8:25 A. M. The D, C, and junior High School students make their deposits through their home-room representatives, who take the money to the banking ofhce. The upper classmen make their own deposits. Bank books may be kept by the students or left with the bank. Three percent interest is paid. This bank is very convenient for deposits, because it is right at hand to its depositors. During the past year the management of the bank has been in the hands of the fol- lowing students: john Putman ............

Tefferr mm' Bookkeepwr Arline Stocker, Lillian Warneke, Doris Grosse, Bill Eveland, Mary Blust ..A.r.rj.rfr111f5 The success of the Bank is greatly due to the efforts of Mr. Ziegler, faculty advisor. It is rather remarkable that the amount of deposits has not dropped during the season of business depression. DON LYNCH. CONTENTS Dedication . Faculty . . Seniors . juniors . . Sophomores . .

OFFICE ASSISTANTS ACH year the work of the office assist- ants is developing more and more. until now the tasks they so Capably perform are of great value and help to those in charge of school business. Every commercial student in school spends one day in the school year assisting Miss Thaubald in the main office. Seniors help the first half of the year, and juniors work the last semester, typing, answering the tele- phone, sorting mail, and performing a mul- titude of tasks. This gives the students practical experience of great value in their commercial work. Margaret Brown and Beatrice Rogers as- sisted Mr. Seay in counting money, tiling money envelopes, writing receipts, making 2 out checks for Mr. Seay's signature, and keeping the treasurer's books. During the sixth bell each day Hazel McClure, Charlotte Frey, and William Broerman counted the lunchroom receipts. They made up the deposit to go to the bank, and prepared the change for the next day's business. The sale of street car tickets was handled by Alma Larkin and Doris Grosse. During this year more street car tickets were sold than ever before. The services rendered by these people were considered invaluable by Mr. Seay and Miss Thaubald, and were of great benefit to the' students themselves.

FOOTBALL O quote Coach Walke himself, Pros- pects for the 1950 football season were as drab, and material as green, as I have had in years at XXfithrow. Vlfhen such a state- ment is taken into consideration, the record of three victories, five losses, and one tie. which was compiled by the Tigers, is not so bad as it may seem. After a week of intensive drill, the Orange and Black played host to the Red- skins of Norwood High. The Indians found Fort Witlirow far more pregnable than in previous years and went home with twelve scalps dangling at their waists, while the Orange and Black tallied nothing. Witlirow started out as if to repeat last year's debacle. Witlu Buschbacker and Floyd 116 carrying the ball, the Tigers marched deep into Norwood territory, only to lose the ball on a fumble. Then Buschbacker injured his ankle severely and was taken out. Many regarded this as the turning point of the season for the Tigers. Little Newport came over to the stadium on October 10 and went back with a freakish victory by a 2-O count. The day was much too hot for anything but baseball, and the players discarded all unnecessary parapher- nalia. Late in the second quarter George Rimmer, shifted into the backfield because of his extraordinary kicking ability, went back into punt formation. ' During the week after the Newport game Coach did the most thorough shifting of men on record at Withrow, and, when on October 17, the Tigers racedwon the Held to tackle Xenia, linemen were in the backlield and ex-backs were on the line. Before long the spectators were also trying to identify one number 10 on a Xenia sweater. They had reason to wonder who it was, for all Bus Bell, for that was his name, had done was to advance the ball personally from midfield to the Tiger goal. Bell, however, had not finished. He was on the throwing end of a forward pass that landed in the arms of Kinsey, an end, and was good for 15 yards and a touchdown. The half ended with the Blue and White holding this 12-7 lead. The Withrow team that came back for that second half caused Tiger supporters to think they were back in '29, The first thing they did was to engineer a pass, Floyd to Schwartz, that took the ball to the 2-yard line. Rimmer wasted no time plunging over from there. Then he took the ball on the second play after the kick-off and galloped 75 yards through the whole up-state team for a score. Late in the game Kaufman intercepted a pass and was driven out of bounds in Xenia territory. Floyd ran over from there. The peak of the season was reached when, on November 7, the highly touted Western Hills Maroons fell 6-0 before an inspired Tiger outfit. The hill-toppers came into the game topheavy favorites, looked upon as championship caliber. They went out a sad- ly outfought team. The two outfits battled on even terms for three quarters, but in the last period the un- daunted Tigers won out. Three times they fought their way to the Western Hills goal line, and three times they were repulsed. 117 Then with Charley Floyd and Rod Rice carrying the ball, they came straight down the held in a 40-yard march that culminated when Rice went over. The game ended two minutes later. In the second of those goal- ward marches, Svetozar Nankovitch, big Serbian guard, was severely injured and was carried from the held and sent to the hos- pital. His play had shown distinct improve- ment and his loss was a severe one. From the heights in the Western Hills game the Tigers went to the depths against Woodward. Their 8-0 loss at the hands of the Bulldogs was a terrific blow to their fol- lowers. Despite the Woodward setback, every Orange and Black follower looked conti- dently toward the classic of the season, the Hughes game. The usual colorful pre- game festivities went off in fine style, and then something happened. Hughes' backs began to sweep at will through the Tiger line and eluded the secondary to run wild. Schaps, Nolting, and Kramer galloped all over the field, and when the gun went off the score was Hughes 37, Withrow 7. The Orange and Black touchdown came on a plunge by Rimmer after a blocked punt late in the game. So the curtain came down on the season. Although the Tigers did not win the ma- jority of their games some line players were uncovered. Of course, Captain Hessel was the bulwark of the line, but he received some real help from Niehoff,Nankovitch, Muel- ler, Schawe, and Schwartz. In the backheld, George Rimmer displayed some line plung- ing and punting, and was ably assisted by Frank Reis, Rod Rice, and Charley Floyd. BOB BUTLER. fa a. je A wha..

BASKETBALL ACK of experienced material, the chief difficulty in other sports during the current season, did not spare basketball, and, when Coach Carl Duning called his first practice, one veteran, jack Kreimer, reported to him. Witli Jack as a nucleus and with some promising material from the reserves, Coach started the tremendously difficult task of building a team. A month of practice produced some result and on the twelfth of December the Tigers faced Lynchburg on the latter's floor. The starting lineup of Pressler, Hulsbeck, Kenny, McIntyre, and Kreimer found that they were facing an under-rated team. This, combined with a bandbox Hoor, caused the Orange and Black a disheartening 18-8 defeat. 120 Eight days later the team, after a thorough drill in fundamentals, faced a powerful Mid- dletown team. This game, too, was played away from home and resulted in a demoral- izing 25-7 defeat for the Duningmen. But for the accuracy of Dick Meyers in the last two minutes Witlirow would have tallied only three foul shots. An encouraging change for the better was shown in a 32-20 defeat by Greenfield, The upstaters, always powerful, presented a ine team and were given a real battle through- out by the Tigers. Jack Boyle and Fritz Pressler gave signs of a real scoring punch with 8 and 7 points, respectively. After a holiday rest, the basketeers re- turned to action on january 9, when they tackled Hartwell in their first inter-scholastic battle. The Duningmen, led by Jack Boyle with 11 points, led all the way and ended on the long end of 21-16 count. jack Kreimer also played well as the Tigers scored their first victory. A week later the schedule called for two games. The first one was another inter- scholastic battle, this time with the Eagles of Walnut Hills. The game was torrid all the way and only a spectacular long shot by Alex Mclntyre in the last 10 seconds won for Withrow-16-15. Then, tired by their efforts of the previous evening, and facing one of Indiana's strongest fives, the Orange and Black took up losing ways by falling before Lawrenceburg 45-17. Withrow's points were widely divided while Albright and Stevens, Hoosier forwards, made 36. Returning to the interscholastic wars, Withrow faced Western Hills and was de- feated, 29-19. Illness kept jack Boyle, high point man, out of this game. Fritz Pressler, taking his place, played well, scoring 8 points. Sheer fight by Alex McIntyre was another feature of this game. After a strenuous examination week, old man Hard Luck again invaded the squad. This time, on the eve of the Hughes game, Coach Duning's father became fatally ill and the Orange and Black played without the guiding hand of their coach. The result, of course, was a 32-9 defeat. The gigantic Big Red outfit played great ball and, led by Murray and Margolis, avenged their defeat of the previous year. February 13 was the close of the inter- scholastic series. Withrow met the Bulldogs and succumbed, this time by a 53-19 score. The game was, however, very encouraging to supporters of the Duningmen. Fight pre- dominated on Withrow's side, with Pressler, Kreimer, and Boyle showing real playing. This brought the scholastic season to a close with two victories and three defeats. Hamilton's powerful five, Southwestern champs, avenged the two beatings of the previous year by scoring a 27-17 victory on February 20. With the same splendid five that had worn the Blue and White the pre- vious year,. the upstate five jumped to an early lead and the ultimate result was never in doubt. jack Boyle, as was his custom. was high point man. The last regularly scheduled game was, of course, the annual classic with Norwood. Not even the staunchest Tiger supporter ex- pected a victory, but none expected the land- slide which came. Trailing at the half 23-4, the Orange and Black never had a chance before a powerful Indian offense and fell 58-12. Jack Kreimer showed the only real iight and played capable ball. A brilliant ray of hope emerged in the Southwestern Tournament at Cincinnati University. Facing a team that had been seeded number two, the Tigers presented a lineup of four juniors and a senior. This lineup, playing all the way through, led untilthe last two minutes, and then lost to Xavier High School, 22-20. Experts pre- dicted a brilliant future for next year's team. When the fact that the team was entirely new is considered, the seasons record was not so bad. jack Boyle, jack Kreimer, and Fritz Pressler 'played consistently good ball and were valuable men. With such pros- pects, Coach can look forward to a prosper- ous season next year. BOB BUTLER. ' ' Y' 8.3 a E gf. , . hw 4. 35 fd A, GERDS PW x 4 . K-J ,. .NF-' Q3 . xg., EN J, BO Y LF ,N ' '.

LMOST immediately after the opening of school, Coach Fred Reuter began his annual systematic hunt for trackmen. Witli the assistance of Captain Joe Schwartz and several veterans of other years, he combed the gym classes for men and soon had enough for the makings of an excellent track outfit. Months of diligent work brought his runners and Coach Nelson Walke's held men up to fine form for their two indoor contests. However, in both of these meets the Tigers met with unusually powerful opposition and both times came off with second places. Columbus Central sent strong enough teams to Cincinnati to win both of these. 24 When the football season had closed, the team was strengthened with the return of several weight men and sprinters. The pleasant spring weather also benefitted the Reutermen, who were able to get outside for practice much earlier than usual. This ad- vantage helped the Orange and Black to be in fine fettle when the first outdoor meet, a dual one with Hamilton, was held on April 11. Schwartz, a true captain, set an excel- lent example for his mates by winning the shot-put and discus and placing third in the javelin. His teammates were not slow to follow him, however, and the Orange and Black- won ten lirsts. Outstanding per- formances were turned in by Ben Willis in the hurdles, Russ Johnson in the jumps, and Frank Krentz in the pole vault. The final score, 815-68M, indicates the superiority of the Tigers. A week later the harriers tangled with Hartwell in the Witlirow stadium and again won by an approximate 14-point margin, 85-68. To observers the Valley team seemed to push .the Orange and Black more than Hamilton, but superiority in numbers and better balance won for Witlirow. Each team took seven firsts. Schwartz again starred, this time with a first and second, but his chief supporters this time were Bob Breitenstein, Bud Stallings, and Jim Moss- man. Breitenstein followed Pellens of Hart- well twice for two seconds in the hurdles, while Stallings, showing great improvement, easily won the broad and high jumps. Moss- man, a veteran, won the 440-yard dash, took a third in the broad jump, and was the number-one relay man. On April 25 a cocksure bunch of track- men journeyed to Dayton for the Stivers Relays, only to meet a horde of fiyers from Huntington, West Virginia, and come home with sixth place. Schwartz lived up to his reputation by tossing the 12-pound shot 47 feet 8 inches for a new meet record and a victory. He also hurled the discus 112 feet for a fourth in that event. His support from other team members, with the exception of Breitenstein and Stallings, fell down on him, though. A fourth in the hurdles was the former's reward, while the latter took a high jump third. The relay teams, heretofore un- beaten, took one third, two fourths, and a fifth. Only a picked band of men was taken to Columbus on May 1, and two for that an- 125 nual mid-western sports carnival, the Ohio Relays. Schwartz, universally picked as shot-put winner, could do only 46 feet 8 inches, and ran second to Griffiths of Colum- bus Central. Ben Willis ran to the finals of the high hurdles, only to fail to place, while the mile relay took seventh in the finals. That was XWithrow's limit against the sec- tion's best. One week later the Southwestern Ohio Athletic meet was held at Oxford, Ohio, and the Tigers, winners in the years of yore, came home in fourth place, preceded by Dayton Roosevelt, Dayton Stivers, and Cin- cinnati Hughes. Schwartz, Harry Duncan, Bud Stallings, Frank Krentz, Charlie Mauthe, and Bob Breitenstein turned in all the individual points won by Withrow. All existing rec- ords were broken by the Tiger captain, when he tossed the iron ball 50 feet M inch to an easy win of the shot-put. Not content with this, he won the discus with 108 feet 4 inches. Duncan, whose work improves con- stantly, supported him with a third in the shot and a fifth in the discus. Stallings, a crack jumper, was third in the high and fifth in the broad, while Krentz took a pole-vault third. Mauthe, after a short absence, re- turned to finish fifth in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Breitenstein, coming back in fine form, was third in the high hurdles. The half-mile relay team won its event, while the mile baton-carriers came fifth in line. This was the last meet run off in time for Annual coverage, but steady improvement seemed to point to a successful conclusion to the track season.

SITTING: R. johnson, C. Warner, R. Rice, F. Reis, J. Kreimer, W. Schwemlein, F. McDowell. OME of the finest early spring weather ever experienced at Withrow gave Coach Carl Duning and his baseball candi- dates an excellent chance to get far more outdoor practice than usual, and the squad that he selected came up to its opening game on April 17 in splendid shape. His first call for candidates showed that he had a veteran battery in Charley Floyd, catcher, and Charley Anderson, pitcher, and a star shortstop, Frank Reis. Upon these men as a foundation he built his squad. Ed Holzenkamp, a rangy fielder, won the first base post, with jack Kreimer holding down second, and Joe D'Andrea and Wilbur Schwemlein alternating at third. In the out- field Rodney Rice, Frank McDowell, Charley W'HfHC1', and Alex McIntyre divided duties I3 in the three positions. To aid Anderson in the box, coach selected two righthanders, Harold Hulsbeck and Russ Johnson, and a southpaw, Bob Piper. With this young and promising squad he set about preparing for a stiff schedule. The Eagles from Walnut Hills High vis- ited Withrow for the opener and went home soundly beaten 16-4 in seven innings. The game was nip and tuck until the fifth inning, when the Tigers hopped Wulfeck, Eagle hurler, for nine runs and the ball game. From this point Anderson, Tiger hurler, just breezed in. The big feature was a home run by Charley Floyd. The second game was scheduled for Lynchburg, but rain twice halted this con- test, and Hughes came next on the Orange and Black schedule. The Tiger defense, none too tight in the Walnut Hills game, took on a sieve-like aspect in this fray and eventually cost the game. The final score was Hughes 7, Withrow 4, but the Duning- men had 1O hits and 6 errors, as compared with 7 hits and but 2 wabbles for the Klinch- men. This alone tells the story. The twice-postponed Lynchburg encounter came next and resulted in a lopsided 17-1 victory for Withrow. The entire Withrow team hit well, with a home run by Holzen- kamp, triples by Holzenkamp, Kreimer, and Warner, and a double by Warner, as fea- tures. Hal Hulsbeck, making his first start on the mound, fanned six, gave but four hits, and retired the opposition in order five times. On April 28 a powerful Norwood nine took the Orange and Black back to defeat by winning 19-4 at Norwood. Norwood bunched her 21 hits far better than Withrow did her 15. Withrow scored 3 of her runs off Korengel's pitching in the ninth. Masterful pitching by Ray Evans and Bill Egan, of Woodward and Purcell, respective- ly, brought about two defeats in the next two games. The Tigers could do nothing with either of these boys, while Woodward had one big five-run inning off Piper, and Purcell pounded Tiger pitchers to all cor- ners of the Withrow lot. Revenge for the Norwood defeat was gained when the Indians played a return en- gagement at Withrow on May 8. Russ Johnson, Withrow, and Bob Gabel, Nor- wood, hooked up in a thrilling pitcher's battle that johnson won when Schwemlein tripled and McDowell singled in the ninth. The final score of 4-3 indicates the calibre of ball played. The Orange and Black team slugged its way to a 16-14 victory over Elder on May 12. Although handicapped by the absence of Reis and Holzenkamp, the Withrow nine played fine ball, coming from behind to win. Trailing Elder by two runs in the last inning, Rice's and johnson's easy rollers were muffed. They advanced on D'Andrea's sac- rifice, and then scored on Kreimer's double. Another double by Floyd, with singles by Schwemlein and McDowell, netted the win- ning four runs. A heart-breaker was lost the next day, when Western Hills won 5-4. After playing superlative ball for nine innings, the Tigers blew a two-run lead in the deciding tenth. Withrow collected two markers in the initial innings and remained idle till johnson drove two more tallies across in the sixth. Two were out in the ninth, and the Tigers led 4-2, when a twisting roller to short tal- lied two runs for Western Hills. While Withrow went scoreless in the tenth, West- ern Hills scored the winning tally. Although a light rain fell during most of the game, the contest was marked by clean fielding and excellent pitching. Russ John- son's hurling and hitting featured the struggle, for he allowed only six safeties as compared with double that number provided by the hilltop moundsman. As the Annual goes to press the Tigers have two games and the tournaments left on their schedule. Despite the fact that they have played in and out ball to date, success seems to be assured. Their effort in the second Norwood game was splendid, and continuation of that type of play is sure to mean a grand finale to the baseball season.

DICK MEYERS BILL CHAMBERS JACK RATTERMAN NEIL MCPHAIL TENNIS N LIKE other athletic teams, the tennis players were fortunate in having at their disposal three veterans from the team of the year before. These three men were Bill Chambers and Dick Meyers, holders of numerous junior titles, and a fine doubles player, jack Ratterman. These men, under the capable coaching of Miss Gladys Bahr, formed half of the regular squad. An intra- mural tournament was held to select the other members and Neil McPhail, Fred Pressler, Dan McDaniel, Jack Montgomery, and Bob Wile won the coveted positions. Like the other spring sport teams, the racqueteers benefited from the spring weath- er and, after a few weeks of extensive work, took the courts for their first match with Hamilton. The upstaters furnished little, if any, competition, and the Tigers won. A week later the Orange and Black trav- eled to Lexington to battle the powerful freshmen outfit from Kentucky State Uni- versity. A defeat in the third singles match made the only blemish on the card, and the Tigers won 4-1. The exhibition season closed with a match against Holmes High of Covington, but the power of the Orange and Black racquets swept the Kentuckians to a 5-0 defeat. The opening of the interscholastic season brought the Big Reds of Hughes to the Hyde Park Tennis Club. The tennis players, led by the stellar play of Meyers and Chambers, accomplished the unusual and the Orange and Black won 5-O. On May 30 the postponed state final matches were played off on the Ohio State University courts. Withrow's doubles team, composed of Chambers and Meyers, won from Lorain High by default, the Lorain team failing to put in an appearance. The same day, without any real difhculty, Cham- bers won the state scholastic singles cham- pionship, defeating Neihauser of Cuyahoga Falls High School, 6-2 and 6-1. The con- sistently good playing of the Withrow star excited considerable comment and brought forth predictions of a brilliant future on the courts. The splendid work of the two best singles players in the Ohio Valley and the aid of a strong supporting group have given With- row a successful tennis season. BOB BUTLER. Coach D. D. Gregg.

GYM EW Withrowites are well acquainted with the Gym Club, a small but active group of boys of the junior and senior high school who meet together on Thursday after- noons with the purpose of developing a skill and ease in apparatus work and gymnastics. Perhaps this lack of renown is due to the fact that those who seek public recognition for their athletic prowess are not to be found in this club. The only rewards besides per- sonal self-satisfaction are two gold medals given at the end of the year to the finest gymnast in the senior high and the foremost of the junior athletes. This new organization, not yet three years old, performs a real service to the school in training and developing boys for the newly CLUB founded gym team. Incidentally, the two boys of this team who participated in the state meets this year, Doyle and Macbeth, Won first and fourth places, respectively, in the contest. Each year the club entertains the student body in an assembly. Under the tutelage of Coach D. D. Gregg, the boys learn how to perform many differ- ent kinds of gymnastics and trick stunts. Many of these stunts appear to be easy to accomplish, but in reality are very difficult. Pyramids and tumbling form interesting sidelines for the club. A relatively new or- ganization, this club has an excellent future before it. Certainly it is one of the most beneficial athletic groups of the school. WILLARD MULFORD. 135 Qmulgn. Harold Moonitz, Allan Hennessy, James jenkins, Bob Schroeder, jack Montgomery, john Hellebush, Bob Gaible. GOLF LTHOUGH they make up one of the schools youngest teams, the golfers, under their coach, Mr. Walter Peoples, had a highly successful season. This team, composed of Captain Bob Gaible, Harold Moonitz, James jenkins, Allan Hennessy, Bob Schroeder, john Hellebush, and jack Montgomery, opened its season on April 22 with a smashing vic- tory over Western Hills. This match re- sulted in a IOM-15 victory for the Tigers, whose play was featured by the work of Gaible and Jenkins. Three days later Purcell administered the first defeat, when it won 7w-ilk from a team composed of Gaible, Moonitz, Boyle and Hennessy. Revenge for the defeats administered to other Wfithrow teams was gained when the I3 mashie-swingers triumphed 8-4 over Nor- wood in a match at Avon Fields. This time Gaible, Moonitz, jenkins, and Schroeder represented Withrow. May 4 brought a second red letter match. Holmes High of Covington inflicted this one, traveling to Ridgewood to win 7y2-4K2 from a team composed of Gaible, Moonitz, Hellebush, and Montgomery. Two days later the long awaited victory from a Hughes team came when Gaible, Moonitz, jenkins, and Hennessy drove and putted their way to victory. The remainder of the schedule for the boys. coached by Mr. Peoples, consisted of matches with Wfalnut Hills, Roger Bacon, and University School. BOB BUTLER. CIQLS ATI-ILETICS . .MA-1. . . M.

How eager the girls are to get out on the hockey field, flashing their sticks, dashing breathlessly after the speeding puck, thrilling to the ideal game of Autumn afternoons. This season followed the plan of last year and proved extremely successful. A greater number of girls participated this year than ever before. From the Rainbow league, con- sisting of eleven teams, the class squads were selected. Each class played each other class once, the scores resulting in a tie between the seniors and sophomores. The seniors, cham- pions of last year, defeated the sophomores, and again gained the championship. The juniors placed third, and the freshmen fourth. 8 Fifty points were credited toward the all- round XV, to any girl attending two-thirds the number of games and practices. Twenty- five points were given for those attending one-half the number of games and practices. Those girls who kept the score and time were also credited with points toward their letters. The entire hockey system was under the direct management of Lavinia Ervin. Each class team was managed by a captain, who directed the girls on the field. The captains were: Freshmen-Marjorie Stevenson Sophomores-Pauline Easter juniors-Margaret Gillette Seniors-Edna Fife NANCY GORDON. FIRST ROXV: D, Wfalker. R. Gross. M. j. Pulliam, M. Cowell, M. O'Connor, Il. Barr, M. Henderson. SECOND ROVU: C. D'Agostino, M. Ackenhauscn, E. Bowen, C. Frey. GIRLS' SWIMMING N extensive and enjoyable program cov- ering almost every imaginable phase of aquatic sport was planned and conducted for the girls this year under the direction of Marjorie Cowell, swimming manager. Probably the most important phase of the work was the interclass competition. Meets were held in December, March, and April with the sophomores triumphing in the first meet, the seniors winning the second, and the juniors and seniors tying in the third. The Annual Endurance Swim also came in for a major share of attention. By start- ing out with 5 minutes a day and increasing 5 more each day, the girls developed re- markable endurance. There were over a hundred girls competing and the first ten to finish were: Martha jane Pulliam, Ruth Gross, Emily Bowen, Doris Evans, Elizabeth Seeger, Helen Convery, Betty Angle, Elba Noelke, Mary Shook, and Eleanor Ulmer. Class competition gave the juniors a victory with 9366 lengths, second, freshmen 6408, third, seniors 3011, fourth, sophomores 2925. In April, 27 girls of a class of 54, instruct- ed by Miss Bertha Bruckman, won the Red Cross Life Saving Awards. Eleven received the senior emblem and sixteen, the junior. As a fitting climax to a successful season a water pageant, The Frogs' Frolic, was held. The success of this venture which was lavishly costumed and scened was largely due to the efforts of Miss Fennekohl and the Art Department. CHARLOTTE FREY. STANDING: E. Cavanaugh. M. Gaston.

Freshmen, of course, were in the lead with forty-five girls out, sophomores followed with twenty-two, juniors with twenty, and seniors brought up the rear with sixteen. The season opened with three weeks of hard practice, followed by six games for each class, starting March 50 and extending until April 17. Each class elected a captain for its team. The representatives selected this year were: Genevieve Jennings, A Bernice Palmer, B Lorraine Hogan, C Denise Eickhoff, D To each girl who played twenty or more 0 innings, fifty G.A.A. points were given, and to those who played from fifteen to twenty innings, twenty-live points were given. These innings could either be played in the class games or in the scrub games. The lat- ter were played in the outdoor gym when there were enough girls present. There were twelve freshmen girls who received fifty G.A.A. points for their partici- pation in the games, fourteen sophomores, thirteen juniors, and seven seniors. There were tive freshmen girls who re- ceived twenty-live G.A.A. points, three soph- omores, no juniors, and one senior. On the winning sophomore team thirteen girls who played hfteen innings in the class games received chevrons. ELIZABETH SEEGER. TOP ROW: M. O'Connor, C. D'Agostino, M. Cowell, C. Frey, A.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL HE long-awaited basketball season be- gan on December 1, with an instructive exhibition game for the freshmen. The method of handling the basketball schedule as in previous years was continued this year. Each class elected a non-playing manager to plan the activities of her team, such as arranging quarters and being respon- sible for attendance of a full team for all scheduled class games. Group games were played throughout january. Any ten girls who selected a name and captain and registered at the gym office could compete in the group games. The twenty teams that were entered each played three games. Of the 199 girls playing in one or more games, 119 received twenty-five points toward their letters by playing eight or more quarters. Following the league series, a squad of twenty-four girls was chosen from each class. A schedule of six double-header games was arranged for each squad. A girl could play only four quarters in an after- noon, ,participating in either or both games. This year eighteen girls from the four classes received the honor of being chosen to play on the Varsity and All-Star teams. This game was open to all who wished to see it. The Varsity was the winning team. The faculty played the senior champions in- an hilarious and exciting game, and, to the surprise of all, the faculty won. NANCY GORDON. r N W L 7 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HE Girls' Athletic Association has been in existence for five years and has steadily held the respect and interest of the entire school. By bettering and systematizing girls' athletics at Withrow, this organization has proved itself to be a worthy one. Its object of emphasizing the improvement of health through normal athletics, attainment of skill and technique in the various sports, development of leadership and dependabil- ity, and the realization of the joy of play, has been constantly in action. No other club or organization offers such a wide range of activities in which most girls are able to find a real interest. The G.A.A. executive board carries on most of the business of the organization. This board is composed of a president, vice president, corresponding secretary, recording secretary, treasurer, sports managers, and faculty advisors. Open meetings are held at intervals during the year, at which times all members of the G.A.A. participate. Any girl who is interested in athletics may join G.A.A. upon paying a small fee annu- ally. Two membership drives are held dur- ing the year-the first in September, the other in February. Members of G.A.A. may participate in all G.A.A. activities, such as competitive sports, parties, and special events. The G.A.A. provides various activities throughout the year, such as hockey, basket- ball, baseball, track, swimming, hiking, and play-days. The social side of G.A.A. in- cludes parties, dances, swimming meets, a water pageant, and the Honor Night ban- quet which caps the year, for then all awards 2 are given to those deserving them. There are two class trophies-a general trophy representing all sports, and a swimming trophy. The class winning the highest num- ber of points has its numerals put on the trophies. Points are awarded only to G.A.A. members. Chevrons are given to all mem- bers of the championship team in each sport. Numerals are awarded to all those who have earned five hundred points, while those who have gained a thousand points are given the all-round W. Each fall a Hare and Hound Chase is given, in order to stimulate interest among the freshmen and to encourage them to be- come members of G.A.A. The Hare and Hound Chase introduces the hiking program which continues through the year. The hikes are usually held on Saturdays, but very short ones are sometimes held after school. As introduced last year, G.A.A. again held some interscholastic playdays. Nor- wood joined in with Withrow in giving the play-days. Honor Night is the climaxing feature of the girls, athletic season. A banquet is given in the Witlmrow lunchroom, at which time letters, numerals, chevrons, and trophies are awarded, next year's ofiicers installed, and the Honor Girl, chosen from the senior class, presented with an Honor Ring. The officers of G.A.A. for 1950-31 are: Prexrizzleziz' . . ............ Charlotte L. Frey Vice President ..... ....... E leanor Weiss T1'6I1.fZll'6l' . . ..........

The first part was given over to the pre- sentation of class entrances. The rest of the program consisted of all field and track events. Hand bill programs containing a brief interpretation of the class stunts and the events in their order, were distributed. Much thought was put into the original and clever stunts produced by the four classes. The stunt managers were Nancy Gordon for the seniors, Rae Bellonby for the juniors, Marcella Ackenhausen for the sophomores, and Jeannette Meier for the freshmen. The seniors presented their version of Sleeping Beautyf' Sleeping Beauty rested behind the human hedge of charmed ad- mirers. The Green, Blue, and Red Knights tried in vain to break an opening in the hedge which Haunted their colors, and they were added to the barrier. Then the Orange Knight triumphantly slashed down the hedge and woke the sleeping beauty-Color Day. This colorful presentation won first place. The juniors marched out on the field bearing a huge Withrow Treasure Chest filled with freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors represented by colored balloons. The red balloons soared high above the others thus gaining second place for the juniors. Freshmus, Sophmus, junus, and Senus, as presented by the sophomores, were contest- 14 ing in a chariot race in the presence of His Majesty, the Sultan, in order to win his fair daughter, Color Day First Prizemus. Of course, Sophmus won the race, thus securing third place for the sophomores. A verse was worked out by the fresh- men who marched onto the field, bearing a long strip of green cloth with the qualities of an all-round girl printed thereon. In the fifty-yard dash, Moselle Gaston equalled the national high school record with a 6:1 sprint. Fifty-yard hurdles were run this year, instead of the sixty-yard hurdles of former years. Clara Miller placed hrst by running the hurdles in eight. Evelyn Pelzer, repeating her success of last year, again took first place in the hurdles for form. Lorraine Hogan threw the baseball 225k feet, almost equalling Ruth Webster's national record of 228 feet, and thus making a national record for second place. Elsa Leroy placed first in the hurl-ball throw with an 82-foot throw. Edith Eberle threw the basketball 74 feet. Peggy Ringhand won the running high-jump with a jump of 4:4. The juniors placed first in tug-of-war, with the sophomores and freshmen winning second and third. The sophomores placed first in both the 50-yard relay and the ob- stacle relay. The freshmen placed first in the potato-race, the target throw, and the class basketball throw. The sophomores won first place in the en- tire meet, with a total score of 70lQ points, while the juniors placed second, with 48 2,15 points. NANCY GORDON. X asf ix.- -.- STANDING: K. Cramond, E.

ITHROW High School is so unique in many ways that it is not surprising to find her among the few high schools sponsoring the art of horsemanship. The Withrow Riding Club was formed about four years ago with instruction and guidance under one of our own graduates, Miss Ethel Todd. The Riding Club is now one of the many sports offered under the guidance of G.A.A. A horsemanship test including a walk, trot, canter, change of gait, mount and dismount is given each year, and the success- ful riders are presented with the horseman- ship pins. Forthe past two seasons Witlmrow riders have chosen Maple Grove Riding Club for their home grounds. The Witlirow Horse Show of last spring is a memor- 4 able event in the minds of many G.A.A. followers who staged a hike to the Riding Club to see fourteen Withrow girls put their horses through the paces and to be thrilled at the exhibition of several celebrated show horses. Last, but not to be forgotten, was the clance in the Maple Grove Barn. The lack of wet weather during the fall term gave us ten weeks of good riding with an average of seven riders each time. The advanced group also rode occasionally at Miami Riding Club at the foot of Mt. Wasliington and had one unique ride on Armistice Day, when its members rode from Tuxedo Farm to Anderson's Ferry, ferried across the river with their steeds, and cant- ered' about the hills of Kentucky.

STUDENT NE of Withrow's latest steps forward was the organization of Student Council in the fall of 1930, largely through the efforts of William Franklin and Mr. Howe. The body is composed of nineteen members in the small council, and all the home room presidents in the large executive council. Among the achievements of this first year are the conducting of five assemblies, man- agement of the mid-year scholarship drive, selling the arm bands and pep cards, pro- viding stunts at the Hughes-Withrow foot- ball game, assisting in the athletic dinner, and management of the cheer-leaders, and sponsoring the debate team. The members of the small council are .748 COUNCIL four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, one freshman, and one representative of the junior high school, and, also, the president of the senior class, the president of Witlmrow Club, the president of the Girls' Athletic Association, and a representative each from the Amzzzfzl and from Tower Nezvr. Thus it is arranged that the upper classmen are in the majority, but the lower classmen are well represented. Officers of Student Council are: First Term Second Term Homer Jensen Prey.

ALPHIA HE Alphian Dramatic Club is an or- ganization sponsored by Thalian and composed of a group of freshman and sophomore students interested in dramatics. The club was organized for the first time a few years ago for the purpose of giving the lower classmen an opportunity to develop their latent histrionic ability and to further their interest in dramatics. At the beginning of each school year the freshman and sophomore students who are interested in dramatics try out for member- ship and the most successful applicants are admitted to the club. The interesting pro- grams given by various members at each meeting are filled with recitations, short 2 J. Thomas, N. Glemser. plays, dialogues, and other entertainment of dramatic value. This year several Alphian members had small parts in the Thalian Dramatic Club's successful production, Once in a Lifetime. The officers of the club for the following year are elected from the freshman class by the members of the club at the close of the ensuing school year. OFFICERS Pl'6.ff5f67If . . .................

EUTERPEA HE Euterpean Music Club, organized for the purpose of furthering the inter- est and appreciation of good music in With- row, is now in the third year of its existence. The membership of the club is composed of two groups, namely, the active members, those who agree to take part in the programs by playing, singing, or reading papers on musical subjects, and the associate members who come merely for enjoyment. Each year the Euterpean Club acts as sponsor for a musical program which is pre- sented before an assembly of the lower class- men. Meetings are held on the second and , 153 fourth Tuesdays of each month, and the varied and delightful programs are enjoyed very much. All the members participate in musical spelling bees and musical memory contests with a great deal of eagerness. Membership is extended to all grades, and lower classmen are thus given an opportu- nity to start club life. OFFICERS Preridezzt . . .............. Claudine Kaps Zyl Vire Prerideni. . . ....

The club is composed of twenty senior and junior girls who have been recommended by their English teachers for literary ability. Meetings are held every other Tuesday after school, and consist of a short business procedure and a program of original com- positions by the members. Essays, poems, book reports, criticisms, and short stories written by members usually form the pro- gram, but occasionally the works of well- known authors are read. Cincinnati poets and prose writers are sometimes procured to speak at meetings. The practical project of Scribblers is 4 the editing of the Wfithrow Book, a small handbook of facts and interesting infor- mation about the school. The purpose of this book is to serve as a guide-book for freshmen. The book contains diagrams of the school and information about various parts of the building to help the newcomer through the first few daysg and the facts about clubs, organizations, scholarships, and college preparation are equally valuable to upper classmen.

O rouse further interest in the art of public speaking, Philologia sponsored a debating team to represent Withrow in in- terscholastic forensics. A team of eight members was selected by open competition, the judges being Mrs. Howard, Miss Atkins, and Mr. Howe. The team is composed of Captain William Franklin, Stanley Peal, Homer Jensen, Wil- lard Mulford, Gordon Frey, Ruth McKim, Jeanette Merk, and Clarence Watson. Because only a few local schools had de- bate teams, not all of the team members en- gaged in interscholastic competition, but Williani Franklin, Stanley Peal, and Homer Jensen were selected to oppose Holmes High School of Covington and Western Hills. In the first encounter, at Covington, both sides presented excellent arguments, but Withrow lost the decision by a vote of 2 to 1. The question was, Rerolzfed: That chain rtofer are detrinzelztuf to the ber! ifztererty of the Anzericmz people. The second debate was on the same sub- ject and took place in the Withrow audi- torium. Mr. Arthur S. Postle, debate coach of the University of Cincinnati, acting as critic and judge, awarded the decision to the negative team of Withrow, giving clear and concise reasons for his conclusion. Debating is regarded by those engaging in it as one of the most useful of competi- tions. It helps to conquer stagefright, it teaches how to make concise statements of facts, and how to secure those facts.

Howe as a club through which boys interested in radio could get a more thorough understanding of it. In the following year Elmer Davis, '22, re- ceived President Harding's inaugural address and shortly after it was given read it to the school in an assembly. In 1925, a radio was hooked up in the auditorium and the whole school heard the inaugural address of President Coolidge. This was still unusual, considering the number of radios in existence at that time. Interest in radio continued to grow and in 1928 the club had a forty watt transmitter. All the parts of this were do- nated or loaned by various members and completely assembled by the club. In june, 1930, the transmitter was a fond memory. However, at the beginning of this past school year the Radio Club put in an order to the Board of Education for the materials necessary for a station. They received the parts and built the complete station, and the end of this year finds them sending and re- ceiving messages from all parts of the world. ' OFFICERS Pf'e5ia'em' . . .............

WITHROW CLUB NDER the able guidance of Mr. Hunt, faculty advisor, the Withrow Club was under way soon after the opening of the school year, last September. This club was established several years ago with its main purpose that of fulfilling the numerous minor duties around the school, the small things which tend to make a fine school organization move neatly and smoothly. Members of the club meet every other week to discuss ways and means of improving the cleanliness and the orderli- ness of the buildings. This year the Witlmrow Club was the first to inaugurate the system of associate mem- berships for lower classmen.

They conceived the idea of a club in which the various talents of the girls might be developed, and it was thus Kalidasa came into existence. The club has endeavored to emphasize the idea of the Three Arts-Art, Drama, and Music. Through membership in Kalidasa the girls become familiar with the social usuages. There are no restrictions or requirements for membership, save that one be a member of the senior class. They have sponsored many activities and parties throughout the year. In November a Pirate Party was held, with a most mysteri- ous and exciting treasure hunt as a fitting climax. A grand and glorious Christmas party, known as a Kiddies' Party, was held. In February a most enjoyable Valen- tine Party was held for the members. With the coming of spring, the club staged two amusing one-act plays. Tryriifzg Plate, by Booth Tarkington, and the That flzvfnl Let- fer, were staged by the members of Kalidasa for the junior girls. The plays were pre- pared entirely by student directors, Jeannette Merk directing the first play and Lucille Payne, the second. Thus the year was brought to a most instructive and enjoyable conclusion. OFFICERS Preyzdefzz . . .............. Helen Pollard Vice President .... ....... E leanor Weiss Secfetafy . . . . ....

Meetings are held every other Monday. The meetings at school are held in the after- noon, and the topic of discussion usually per- tains to the school and school life. At the meetings at the Y held in the evening the topic discussed is generally religious in char- acter. All of the Hi-Y clubs in the city are spon- soring a World Brotherhood Movement this year. The clubs contribute funds sufficient to bring a member of a Hi-Y club in some foreign land to this city. In this way the boys of Cincinnati learn of the activities of other countries in Hi-Y work. The success of the club is due, in a large measure, to its officers and the faculty advisor, Mr. Howe.

CAMERA CLUB HE shutter has clicked on another suc- cessful year for the Camera Club. This year we have seen, at the College of Medi- cine, how photography aids humanity by re- cording the various stages of operations, wounds, and infections. At a commercial plant we discovered how a merchant is aided in advertising his products by means of pho- tography. Thence to the Eastman store, seeing the latest appliances for cameras and the newest additions to their line of photo- graphic materials and instruments. The principle of the simple pinhole camera was explained to us here. However, we did not spend all our time 162 in listening to others. We practiced the principles of composition in a meeting de- voted to table top photography. At one meeting we also worked out some very in- teresting silhouettes of the members. One of the last meetings was given over to the exhibition of thirty prints from the Los Angeles Camera Club. Last, but not least, came the party in the model Hat with its contests and prizes.

With the coming of tennis weather, however, the two courts which are the possession of the Withrow racqueteers were reconditioned and play begun. The purpose of the club is to further good sportsmanship and to foster interest in tennis. The membership of this year's club is ap- proximately forty members less than previ- ous years. This is due to the decision to eliminate all associate members. After several weeks of practice, the club sponsored a tournament to determine mem- bers of the tennis team and their ranking. Through numerous fiery matches, these members were chosen for the boys' tennis team, ranking in the following order: Cap- tain Bill Chambers, Dick Meyers, Neil Mc- Phail, Jack Ratterman, Fritz Pressler, Bob Wile, Dan McDaniel, and jack Montgom- ery. On the girls' team the ranking was: Katherine Wallace, Marge Wulfeck, Frances Fearon, and Cajetan D'Agostino. OFFICERS Preridefzt ................. Bill Chambers Vice President .... ....

Organized by Homer Jones in 1928, most of the mem- bers were taught by him in classes on Wed- nesday afternoons. Last year at the Rotary Club contest, Jack Fischer won first place in all three divisions of the contest, and he and Homer Jensen went to Detroit. There Jack's plane made such a creditable performance that plans of the plane were given national circulation by the Arzzerimzz Boy Magazine. Many critics considered it one of the most advanced de- signs of the year. The boys returned with two medals. By the end of this year, of the six divi- sions the members have entered, the club had five state records, and a second place in 164 CLUB the sixth. This record easily places the club well above any other model airplane club in the state. The club is divided into two sections, the Model Airplane Club and the Glider Club. The Glider Club was first started this year, the construction of its plane taking from November to May. Albert Brady did most of this work. - The purpose of the club is to teach tech- nical aeronautical facts by practical means through the construction of miniature planes.

The last Fri- day of each month is set aside from class time for the club meeting in which various members of the club take part. At this time the technicalities of algebra and trigonom- etry are forgotten, and the time is devoted to discussions and talks dealing with the fascinating and intriguing origin and in- fluence of higher mathematics. The purpose of the program is to demonstrate the prac- ticability of higher mathematics in every-day life and to reveal the usually hidden fascin- ation of the subject. The programs show, too, that math has as interesting and colorful a past as history and the classics, and they impress on the minds of the members the fact that science of mathematics is privileged to take its place among the most ancient and interesting of sciences. This year the pro- grams have been exceptionally good with their amusing and puzzling mathematical fallacies and brain-twisters, and accounts of the lives of the ancients who were the orig- inators of this particular science.

The club meets on the first Monday of each month of the school year during the time in class which is ordi- narily devoted to study. The name and con- stitution of the club, which were established first by the class of 1929, were again adopted. The very interesting meetings which are held during the year inform the members of the lives and works of many well-known mathematicians, both those of ancient and modern times. Curious and amusing tricks which are shown at these programs intrigue the imagination of the members. 166 MATH CLUB The work of the year was brought to a close in june with the long-anticipated picnic for which all the senior math clubs com- bined. All in all, it is believed that Tartaglian Math Club has been a decided success this year. While the practice in trigonometry and algebra has been invaluable to the mem- bers, they cherish even more highly the spirit of good fellowship, without which no club can be worthwhile.

EUCLIDEAN HE Euclidean Mathematics Club meets on the last Friday of each month during the regular sixth period recitation. The club is composed of senior pupils who are study- ing trigonometry and college algebra. Not only is the pleasure of omitting a regular recitation and its attendant nightwork en- joyed, but a keener and deeper appreciation of mathematics is developed. Through the interesting programs the historical and prac- tical background, upon which the value of the subject depends, is shown. During the year the lives and accomplish- ments of the great mathematicians of ancient and modern times are reviewed. Talks are given on the practical application of mathe- matics to navigation and the various branches of engineering, and mathematical puzzles and fallacies are often offered for class solution. The evolution of the science of mathematics from ancient to modern times forms another interesting part of the program. The course is brought to a triumphant close each year with a grand picnic, at which male members attempt to determine un- mathematically the complete capacity of a certain digestive organism.

STARGAZERS HE Astronomy Club, organized annu- ally to foster an additional interest in the subject, furnishes one of the most inter- esting parts of the astronomy course. This year the meetings were held every other Thursday during the seventh bell. Legends of the many constellations, lives of many of the great astronomers and their contribution to this science of the universe, literary references to astronomy, and discus- sions of recent articles on the subject made informative and interesting material for the programs. If time permitted at the meet- ings, extemporaneous talks were given which challenged the ability of the keenest stu- dents. Trips to the observatory proved well 168 worth while, and under Dr. Yowell's super- vision the Stargazers lived up to their name. Not only were brilliant stars viewed through the telescope, but also such planets as were then in sight. Mars, and jupiter with its four satellites, proved remarkable worlds when brought closer and magniiied. The Stargazers completed the year with a picnic, which proved successful in every way. Thus closed the history of the Stargazers, the Astronomy Club of 1931. OFFICERS Pre.ria'e11t . . .....,........

LAVU HE Law Club was formed for the pur- pose of making a more extended study of the various phases of commercial law which could not be dealt with in class because of the lack of time. All pupils who have studied law or are studying it at the present time are eligible for membership in the club. The club, unlike many clubs devoted to a more comprehensive and intimate study of the classroom work, holds its meetings after school. At the first meeting of the club an exciting election was held, and as a result, a girl president, Mary House, was chosen. Robert Smith became vice president, Agnes Ver- kamp, secretary, and jack Winget, treasurer. CLUB Through the club the students become familiar with the most important elements of commercial law. The many and varied technicalities of the subject are put into actual practice during the meetings of the club. It has been the custom of the group to conduct court trials in accordance with the most strict judicial procedure. The vari- ous sorts of legal papers are studied, and practice is given in drawing them up. The officers of the club are: Prefidezzf . . .............,., Mary House Vire Piwidezzf .... ....

AENEADAE HE Aeneadae Latin Club, one of two such clubs organized by seniors who are taking fourth year Latin, is composed of the twenty-seven members of Miss Groves second bell Vergil Latin class. Its member- ship is open to all of Miss Groves Latin pupils. This club was organized in the be- ginning of the school year for the purpose of sponsoring outside reports on the custom, dress, architecture of the early Romans, and the weapons, the material for which is not to be found in the text book. It also en- courages an increased interest in study of this ancient language which has been handed down to us through such a long period of years and which still thrives, although it is 0 dead as to any use but the study of the beauty and charm of its immortal classics. On the last Friday of every month the regular lesson is dispensed with and in its place interesting talks, illustrated lectures, and Latin plays are presented by the mem- bers. The club, under the faithful and in- spiring direction of its advisor, Miss Grove, has learned some interesting ancient Latin songs which they enjoy singing.

VERGILIANI HE Vergiliani is a senior Latin club, formed with the purpose of studying Roman life and customs. The club is named after Publius Vergilius Maro, one of the foremost of the Roman poets. As the Aeneici, his most famous work, forms the major part of the fourth year course, this club name is most appropriate. The club is composed of the members of Miss Donnelly's sixth period class, and meets during the regular recitation period on the last Friday of each month. A unique feature of the club is its roll call. Each member signifies his presence by answering with a quotation from the Aeneid. Vergiliani has a splendid faculty advisor in Miss Donnelly, under whose guidance 171 many interesting and instructive programs have been prepared. Often entertaining talks are given on Roman customs and tradi- tions, while other programs feature the dwellings and religions of that civilization. Much of the background of the Aefzeid and of Vergil is given. In addition to these in- formative subjects, the programs are inter- mingled with lighter, more amusing topics, varying from Latin crossword puzzles to charades.

FRENCH CLUB HE Withrow French Club, which is not so well known under its French name of Le Cercle Francais, is organized under the capable direction of Miss Catherine james, for all students of the French language ex- cept freshmen. The purpose of the organ- ization is to further the students ability to understand and use, out of the classroom, the French language. The business sessions and programs of the club are held after school on the third Mon- day of each month in the school year, and are conducted almost entirely in French. The very interesting programs are made up of short talks, songs, sketches, dialogues, short plays, reports, and various other fea- tures, all of which are carried on in French. The meetings, while they are of a social nature, not only provide the student with a greater opportunity to learn and to speak French, but also enable the members of the club to receive in a fascinating way a broader and better knowledge of the manners and customs of the energetic, artistic people of France.

Meetings are held monthly during class time and are conducted entirely in Ger- man. The programs primarily consist of readings. However, since mid-year, the German newspaper of the city has been stud- ied minutely and articles selected and trans- lated to accustom the students to a more specific application of the language. Several meetings of the year were devoted entirely to Dr. Schoenle, in which he told his ex- perience of the previous summer while vis- iting Germany. Among these the most out- standing were the colorful description of the world-famous natural zoo of Hamburg and the equally famous Oberammergau passion- play. Each meeting has been both beneiicial and entertaining and Dr. Schoenle and all the students who have been participants in the club since its beginning two years ago hope for the successful continuance of the club.

Spanish Club is composed of the students who are studying fourth year Spanish under the di- rection of Miss Perkins. This organization holds a meeting every two weeks on Mon- day, during class time, with the teacher as the advisor of the club. The minutes, the parliamentary procedure, and the programs which are conducted in the Spanish lan- guage, present the interested student with an opportunity to learn to speak Spanish much more fluently. The Spanish Club, which formerly held its meetings after school, has this year divided into class clubs known as Sanos Y Salvos, Mejor Y Mejor, and Quien Sabe? On special occasions these clubs come together 17 4 for a joint meeting. At such a social gather- ing as this various members of each club participate in the program. An open meet- ing, the long-awaited Juegos Floralesf' is held every year, and at this time valued honors are awarded to those students who have received the highest grades in a com- prehensive test given to all the students of Spanish. At the end of the year the much- anticipated picnic is held for a jolly social time. OFFICERS . Edward Conway Preridefzl . . .......... . .

MEIOR Y MEJOR EJOR Y Mejor, the fourth period ZA Spanish Class of Miss Mudge, was organized early this school year. In the first meetings it was decided that all business and programs of the club, so far as would be possible, should be con- ducted in the Spanish language. In actual practice, the formal orders of the president, the minutes, and the program were given in Spanish, usually, but the discussion was con- fined to English. Much credit should be given Ruth Wright for the painstaking care she has put on the minutes of the club, The programs of the meetings were diverse, ranging all the way from solving 5 Spanish crossword puzzles to mock radio programs. At one meeting considerable amusement was afforded by translations of Mother Goose Rhymes. At another, several two-minute talks in Spanish on current events were given. OFFICERS Fin!

Meetings are held every other Monday during class period and are con- ducted in Spanish by the student officers. The club is comprised of members of third and fourth year Spanish. Spanish songs, plays, debates, stories, and games make up the unusual but very interesting programs. There are usually several parties during the year, one of the most delightful being Juegos Floralesf' At this party, which is given in the spring, medals are awarded to those pupils who have achieved the highest grades on a special test that is given to all Spanish classes. Lillian Winkler, Mildred 176 Finke, Bill Horne, Virginia Norris, Walter Ramsey, Dorothy Shore, Estelle Beach, Lloyd Behymer, Warren Wfurster, Ava May Dill- ing, and Helen Dalke received prizes this year from the Spanish department. Lillian Winkler, who had the highest average for four years in the Spanish course, was also awarded a book in the Class Day exercises. Other parties are given at Christmas, St. Valentines Day, and St. Patrick's Day. The Club has done much to create a real liking for the study of Spanish. OFFICERS P1'e.rifzle111' . . ..

The club meetings are held during class time on the first Monday of each month for the pur- pose of more fully developing the multitude of topics which can only be briefly touched upon in regular class time. The programs are devoted to the many phases of American history. Discussions of the lives of great American men are giveng descriptions of various periods of American life are surveyed from an unbiased view- pointg debates are held on subjects of the dayg in fact, all historical topics which are of special interest to the entire group make up the programs.

CLIO HISTDRY CLUB N order to secure a broader appreciation of the history of our country, Miss Dick- inson's seventh period senior history class organized an American history club. It was decided that the group should be called the Clio History Club, after Clio, the muse of history. The club convenes during the regular class period on the hrst Friday of each month. During these forty-five minutes the Class is entertained and instructed with many varied topics which form a necessary background for the enjoyment and complete study of the course as discussed by the class members. Both the past and modern aspects of the United States history are review, and student reports are given on problems of the day throughout the world. Thus the history club is most beneficial to the American history students for its student discussions and reports are an ehticient ad- junct to the regular course of study. With its aid, Miss Dickinson succeeds in making the study of the United States history one of the most engrossing and instructive sub- jects in all of the school's courses.

NATHAN HALE HISTORY CLUB FTER much persuasion Miss Dickinson relented and allowed her fourth bell class to form an American history club. The club was organized quite late in the year, and its first meeting was held the hrst Fri- day in December. At this meeting it was voted that the group should be called the Nathan Hale History Club, in honor of the great American patriot. The officers were elected at this time, and the members de- cided that a constitution should be dispensed with. On the first Friday of each month during the regular recitation period the program committee presents various historical topics. Reports are made on modern events and 179 their signihcanceg brief biographies are sketched of famous men of the past and of noted contemporaries, disinterested views of present day political questions are offered, the many eras of American history are described, and the most interesting high- lights of American history are presented to the class. The students are thus given an opportunity to study more completely these interesting topics. OFFICERS Prerir1'e1zt . . ............ Clarence Vifatson Vire President .... ,....

THE WASHINGTON HISTORY CLUB NE of the most interesting and bene- ficial of the class clubs at Witlirow was organized by Mr. Ralston's seventh period American history class. This club was called the Wasl1ington History Club. The purpose of the group, as incorporated in the constitution, was as follows: to foster an interest in the history of the United States of America, both current and early, and to promote an interest in the lives of the great men of that country. In accordance with the provisions of the constitution at their lirst meeting, the class elected the customary four officers and the chairman of entertainment committee. The officers were: President James Mossman, Vice President Robert Mecum Kuck, Secre- 0 tary Frank Reis, Treasurer Earl Kaufman, and the chairman of the permanent commit- tee on programs, T. Marvin Edwards. Through this able chairman the club enjoyed many entertaining and unusual features dur- ing the year's meetings. American history became a truly real and living subject under Mr. Ralston's instruction, with the aid of this club. Much credit is due to Richard Firestone, for his compilation of the club's excellent constitution. Prerideuf . . .... .... J ames Mossman V ire Preridwzf .... . . .Robert M.

REVIEWERS OR the purpose of supplementing the class room program and of presenting history in a novel fashion, the Reviewers' History Club has been organized this year by members of Mr. Hamilton's hrst period class. Regular meetings are held during class time on the first Monday of each month. Officers are elected semi-annually. Many different sidelines of history, par- ticularly the biographical line, which are entirely omitted in the regular text may be reported on and discussed at these monthly meetings of the club. The value of a club such as this lies in the fact that it develops initiative, leader- ship, and responsibility among its members. judged on this basis, Reviewers' History Club has enjoyed a most successful debut into Withrow's club life.

It is directed by Mr. Surdo, and meets each Wednesday morning before school at seven- iifty-five. Special Chorus includes in its membership boys and girls from all the classes. The practice received often leads to the development of really line voices among the members of the chorus, and because it is open to all pupils, from the very start of one's high school life one may receive excel- lent training and very valuable voice in- struction. The whole year is spent in intensive prac- CHORUS tice for the Annual Concert, which is given two successive nights at the end of each year. For this year's number the members of the Special Chorus sang Longfellow's Wreck of the Hesperusj' which has received its powerful musical setting from MacCunn. It is a stirring tale of a hardy New England seaman and his lovely young daughter who are drowned when a terrilic storm dashes their study boat, Hesperus, to destruction on the rocks. Special Chorus also sang in the Hosanna Chorus from Ben H1111 The success of the chorus is due largely to its director and the co-operation he re- ceives from its members.

The members come together for their weekly rehearsals on Tuesday afternoons for about an hour and a half, under the direction of Mr. Surdo. The purpose of the club is to open the minds and hearts of the members to the beauty and significance of music, to teach the members voice control, to give them practice in group singing, and to provide entertainment. The principal aim of the club is the pre- sentation of a beautiful performance for the Annual Concert. This year the Boys' Glee 18 Club, with string accompaniment, sang a group of three varied songs. The first was The Bugle Song,', a lovely number adapted by Smith from Tennyson's poem, Chit- Chatf a charming old English air by Moffat followed, and the comic number, A Little Buglll Find You Some Day, which was so much enjoyed by the audience, was the last. The performance of the Boys' Glee Club has always been one of the most popular parts of the Annual Concerts. Withrow is fortunate in having a musical director who willingly gives so much time to the development of its musical talent. VIRGINIA XWEBSTER. lat r- T TOP ROW: j. Angert, M. E. Snyder, B. Klepper.

GIRL ' GLEE CLUB ITHROW is deservedly proud of her fine Girls' Glee Club, which has ac- quitted itself so admirably on many occa- sions. The club is composed of about eighty-five girls interested in music who meet in the music room on every Wednesday afternoon for an hour and a half of diligent practice in preparation for the Annual Con- cert. Many people in music circles have won- dered at the degree of excellence achieved by these girls. Diligent practice, constant and willing: a desire for a better knowledge of music and more ability in singing, and co- 18 operation under the guidance of Mr. Surdo have helped to bring about this surprising accuracy of pitch and delicacy of shading. At the Twelfth Annual Concert this spring the Girls' Glee Club, accompanied by the Senior Orchestra, sang three numbers re- markably well. Minuet, by Paderewskig The Snow, by Elgar: and Honey Chile, a delightful negro melody by Stuckland, made up their program. Withrow appreciates the efforts of Mr. Surdo and these girls in developing so fine a chorus. VIRGINIA WEBSTER. 8 BAND 89 THE BAND HE Witlirow Band of 1931 has been one of the most outstanding and one of the best-known organizations in the school. Resplendent in their brilliant orange and black uniforms, the members of the band provided pep and entertainment with their enthusiastic playing at the games during the year. The assemblies in which the band has played have been among the most popular ones given. Besides these usual engagements the band has played in a radio program, in a concert for the Alumni banquet, on Parents' Night, at the East Night-Wfest Night graduation exercises, and in the May Day exercises at Corcoran Field. The concert numbers which have been given were written by such well-known com- posers as Massenet, Oscar Straus, and Victor Herbertg and the difficult and rousing marches were works of Sousa, Chambers, and Fillmore. The Witllrow Band was begun in 1924 by Mr. Horton, with a membership of twenty-live. Since that time it has steadily increased, until now there are sixty pieces in the organization. Two years ago it was taken over by Mr. George Smith, or Smit- ty, as he is called by the students. His jolly personality, hard work, and faculty of inspiring co-operation have been instru- mental in placing the band in the position it now holds as one of the best organizations of its kind in Cincinnati. VIRGINIA WEBSTER. ORCHESTRA HIS, the twelfth year of the existence of XY!ithrow's Senior Orchestra, has produced an organization which far sur- passes that of any previous year. Witli the growth in number from twenty members to sixty-ive, has come a growth in the quality of production that is almost un- believable in a high school organization. The orchestra has two rehearsals a week, on Monday and Thursday, each being from two-and-a-half to three hours long. The work accomplished is remarkable. In addition to the concert numbers, the orchestra plays for numerous student as- semblies and for outside engagements. This year the orchestra took part in the Big Four Concert which was given at the Scottish Rite. Wlmen the National Penman Association and Supervisors held a convention in Cincinnati this spring, Witl1row's Senior Orchestra was on hand to furnish some excellent music. Appearances on the air were also included among the performances of the 1930-1951 season. On Friday afternoons the Junior Or- chestra, fifteen younger players who are striving to attain the degree of excellence which will permit them to join the Senior Orchestra, practices under Mr. Surdo's di- rection. The efforts of both Mr. Surdo and the members have made possible orchestras of which Wfithrow is justly proud. VIRGINIA WEBSTER. 190 . V I i E i I l I I 11 ,P H K 1 L 191 1 i I Q 1 V ?

Wfe all remember that first day which held so many thills mixed up with such fearful uncertainty. Wfe were completely bewild- ered in this huge school where two thousand unfamiliar faces surged about us. In our earnest efforts to be insignificant we per- formed the whole catalogue of freshie'i mishaps. We accomplished new sound ef- fects in the lunchroom by allowing our trays to come to a gentle, peaceful rest on the lunchroom floor, we sat in the wrong seats in study-hall and attended the wrong classes in the right periods, and we were generally entertaining to the rest of the school. But the gods are merciful to fools and small children, and soon our eternal ignor- ance was mercifully cloaked with the glam- our and gaiety of football. Can we ever forget the grand climax of the Hughes- Withrow game, vivid beyond all description? In the last half the lighting Withrow war- riors drove our score up to 13, and Hughes, with its 6, was forced to surrender. The contest for the Cornell Cup between Hughes and Withrow had been waged for eight con- secutive yearsg this memorable year brought it to a triumphant close! Withrow was pro- claimed champion of the city and undisputed owner of the Cornell Cup-ours to keep forever. The glorious Christmas holidays fol- lowed, and upon returning we enjoyed the teachers' tardy present of exams. Enjoyed cannot express our feelings! However, after this painful interlude the usual routine of school was resumed. The following year we swaggered across the bridge as all-powerful sophomores who had lost insignificance and developed in its place sophositication. We benevolently beamed upon the little freshiesu and won- dered if we could ever have been as child- ishly stupid. It was glorious to be a sopho- more! The Thalian Dramatic Club presented this year, three one-act plays- The Knave of Hearts, Old Walnut, and The Valiant. All were well acted, but The Valiant was superlative. Some of us sophomore girls wandered about in an envious daze for some time after seeing George Hart and Ginevra Venable in this drama. We waded on again through Gaul with Caesar, reciting anxiously The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the other two sides as we went, and we ex- plored the intricacies of the Alimentary Canal in Physiology. Mr. Surdo brought us our second Annual Concert, and some of us were among the musical organizations. With our sophomore year behind us, we looked ahead as juniors to the responsibili- ties of clubs and various activities. Wife were now a real important part of the school, we had become upperclassmen. We were admitted to Philologia, Thalian, Wfithrow Club, Hi-Y, Chorean, Scribblers. and other school organizations. Our football team had another victorious season, losing only the game, with Hamilton. Our gridiron held an extraordinary aggrega- tion of football stars. Fred Ratterman, the idol of the female contingent, was made captain of the mythical All-Cincinnati team, many of whose members were Withrow players. The day our band appeared on the held in resplendent new uniforms was a proud one. Their improved playing and marching was a tribute to the line work of Smitty, our new band leader. The basketball season, too, was a most successful one. After trouncing Hughes, we went to Dayton for the state tournament, and met defeat only at the hands of the state champions, from Dayton Stivers. The Rear Car, guided by that capable engineer of all Thalian specials, Mrs. Mil- dred Howard, rolled into Withrow High School with a carload of laughter and thrills. It was truly a success, with its bloody chains, flickering lamps, terrorizing screams, and apes. The National Honor Society was insti- tuted at Withrow, and forty-three seniors were chosen. ' Under the baton of their excellent di- rector, the orchestra and choruses presented the Annual Concert in line style. Our third year was completed with the publication of the annual, which was unique in many respects. Almost before realization we have become seniors-members of the highest class at Withrow. This last year has proved to be a glorious triumph in itself. We have been active, responsible mem- bers of a myriad of school organizations, we have supplied the teams with various membersg we have studied hard and well, we have endeavored to lead our school in the accomplishment of its line tradition. Our most worthy work was the creation of a Student Council, through which the student body may express its opinions. With the co-operation of Mr. Lyon the mem- bers were elected, and an active organiza- tion founded. The stunts at the Withrow- Hughes game, the scholarship drive prior to the mid-year exams, the napkins in the lunchroom, the student assemblies-these were some of its achievements. Although our teams were not as success- ful as previous years, their fighting spirit was unsurpassed. They were true Withrow teams, whether they lost or won. We struggled with the mid-years for the last time, and our senior industry was repaid with passing grades. Our last play was presented and was re- ceived very enthusiastically. Thalians had attempted a varied and diilicult play, and had done it well, we were sure. A merciful ruling exempted all seniors with a seventy average from the linal exam- inations, and so most of us escaped this ordeal. Now as commencement is rapidly drawing nearer, each day we realize that we are not graduating from knowledge, but are begin- ning to visualize the opportunities ahead of us. We feel that the school spirit of With- row has stamped an imprint of character upon our lives. We, as seniors, have tried to uphold the traditions of Withrow and have attempted to live well, laugh often, and love much the school that will always be ours. MARY NICHOLS, '31, CLASS PROPHECY - - 1951 ITH an expansive sigh, l sank back luxuriously into the cool, green depths of a large, leather chair. The high, barren desert plateaus of Chinese Turkestan, where for four weary years I had been delv- ing into the musical history of Thibet, faded from my mind as the restful atmosphere of the room insinuated itself into my conscious- ness. Home! What a soothing sound that held for ears which had worn the dirt of strange, distant countries for so long. I looked about me in mild wonder. This was something unusual-a hotel lobby in a city the size of Cincinnati that did not sound like a madhouse during a fire! Why, I thought to myself, a place as charming as this must have been arranged and directed by a person of marvelous taste and great brains! I wonder who the manager is P Curiosity on this point became so strong that I rose reluctantly and sauntered out into the crowded lobby, where a neat sign an- nounced, Gen'l Manager-Karl Niehofff' Why, let me see, I mused, wasn't he a football player at school? How did he ever get in this business? But before I could take any steps to probe further into this mystery, a bell-hop approached with the evening paper in his hand. As he handed me my change, I thought I knew him, and with some hesitation asked, Aren't you Tommy Edwards? The handsome man, not changed a bit in the fifteen years I had not seen him, replied that he was, and added that he was taking a correspondence course in dog-catching during his spare moments. I again sought my quiet corner, eager to look through the paper for news of my 4 former classmates. As I was opening it, I thought of Bob Butler, who had been editor of Tower Neuu when I was a senior. He ought to have some kind of job on this paper, it occurred to me. And surely enough, in the masthead on the editorial page appeared the title, Bob Butler, Editor- in-chief, and underneath it, William Broerman, Business Manager. Other fea- tures on the editorial page caught my eye: There was a political cartoon, and I made out the name in one corner, William Dutten- hofer! A lengthy article entitled, Political and Economic Situation in Florida, bore the signature of Robert Welsh, I remem- bered that he had once taken a trip to Flor- ida during his career as a student. Tucked away in one corner I found a blank verse poem bearing the name Autumn Rapture, and I saw with amazement that it was signed Cajetan D'Agostino. But, eager to know if any of my friends were to be found on the lirst page, I turned there quickly. A thick, black headline struck me in the face, fbut not too force- fullyj. JENSEN ELECTED SOCIALIST SPEAKER OF HOUSE The article went on to state that for the first time the Socialists were strong enough in the House of Representatives to command a majority. Farther on another statement caught my eye, Senator Willard Mulford of Ohio is now the leader of the Republican Party on the floor of the Senate. Right beside this was another sensational article, headed, YOUNG, COUNTY TREASURER, HELD FOR EMBEZZLEMENT Charles Floyd, County Prosecutor, Believes Young Headed For Alaska With 351,000,000 Of County's Money The article described how George Young, the popular county treasurer, had made away with the vast sum of 31,000,000 and had slipped through the hands of the police, but Chief-of-Police john Hellebush ex- pressed confidence that he would be caught almost any minute. I turned to more cheerful reading matter, and the first thing I noticed was a headline, CONCERT SOPRANO SUES MANAGER FOR DAMAGES The article continued: Elizabeth Slimp, nationally known color- atura soprano, filed suit today against her manager, Wesley Vordenberg, charging him with maliciously mixing glue with her throat spray in an effort to ruin her professional reputation. Miss Slimp, the Swedish night- ingale, asks damages amounting to 321000, claiming that her voice is somewhat dam- aged. Her accompanist, Fannie Smaluvitz, is prepared to perjure herself if called as witness. just beneath this was a notice of a debate to be held in the new Public Auditorium be- tween the eminent astronomer and desciple of Einstein, William Franklin, and the noted churchman, Robert Sohngen, president of the South Australian Missionary Society. They were to debate on the question, Re- solved: That Religion and Science Can Meet. I now noticed a large picture of the fa- mous Drackett Shakespearean Players Com- pany, which was appearing in the city that week. Prominent in the picture were the manager, Charles Drackettg the leading lady, Marian Binder, who giggles Lady Macbeth so superlativelyg Stewart Fern, who has en- joyed great popularity in the role of Shylock, Mary O'Connor, cast in the role of Ophelia, and joseph Schwartz, acclaimed by critics as the greatest actor of Hamlet ever on the American Boards. Next I noticed a photograph of a lovely lady whom I immediately recognized as Joy Pape, although the picture title proclaimed her to be Joyce Papier, the successor of Greta Garbo. She was appearing in a picture based on a novel by Elsie Liggett, and directed by a woman who had made her name in the moving picture field, Mary Nichols. Suddenly I wondered if any of my friends were helping to advance Cincinnati's name in musical circles, and turned to the music notes. There I discovered with delight that the new conductor of the Cincinnati Sym- phony Orchestra, Dorothy Johnson, was to conduct her own work, the Ohio River Symphony at the next concert. Daniel Nankovitch, the soloist, was to play a violin concerto by Brahms, and as a special feature the famous concert pianist, Constance Wen- zel, was secured. I noticed among the mem- bers of the orchestra that Carl Kennedy was the tympanist, whose charming wife, the former Nancy Bell, has recently been pre- sented at the Court of St. James. Lawrence Pathe played first flute, with Gerald Britton as clarinet soloist. I was rather surprised to notice that Clarence Watson was assistant conductor. Among other notes I saw an announce- ment of a recital to be given at Emery Auditorium by the Cincy Trio, composed of Agnes McDaniel, soprano, Virginia Web- ster, mezzo-soprano, and Helen Pollard, con- tralto. On the opposite page were sports, and there appeared a great many names I knew. Bill Chambers, the American Lawn Tennis champion, was to play in the tournaments at Wimbledon against the French chal- lenger, Homer Jones, the great pitcher of the New York Giants, was to pitch against the Cincinnati Reds'that week, of whom Dwight Harkins was manager, jack Fisher, who held the world's glider record, was to address the Kiwanis Club. I began to linger idly through the pages. Among the new books was a work on child psychology by Janet Koolage, a volume of nature poems by Marjorie Cowell, and a new translation of a Greek comedy by Mildred Dahlman. With a start I read the depressing head- line: WITHROW SENIOR DIES The sad, sad item related how Larry Canter, the ever-blooming senior of With- row High School, had suddenly collapsed while studying. After much careful searching, I found the Vifomans page. First of all I saw Mama Harmon's Helps to Happiness. It was a whole column and a half of advice to per- turbed people by none other than Mary Rose Harmon. justly proud of the fine work Withrow grads were doing, I read a few of the letters. The first, signed Mrs, Mary Crouse Simmonds, implored Mama Harmon to tell her of a preparation to keep baby from sucking his thumb.

Foremost among these achievements has been the organization of the Student Coun- cil, an advisory body which has introduced and is fostering many new things to advance the ideals of Witlirow. Through Student Council the first schol- arship drive was held, in which certain stu- dents tutored other pupils of the school in preparation for mid-year exams. Gravy was kept olf the vests in a noval fashion-nap- kins were instituted in the lunchroom, to the great satisfaction of the female members of the student body. XX!ithrow's first debating team made its debut in a spirited contest at Holmes High in Covington. Another club organized by the boys was the Scribes, a literary group Vifithrow took the air with a new glider constructed by members of the Aero Club. Student talent was displayed in student as- semblies which were more numerous. A senior team won the intramural basket- ball championship. The girls took the hockey and basketball championships, won one of the swimming meets, passed Red Cross Lifesaving tests, and captured many other honors in their line. Many new, valuable organizations have been formed, a different style of commence- ment announcements has been adopted, and our graduation exercises will be held at Emery Auditorium. Though we lament the fact that we shall not tread over our bridge in the traditional graduation march, we be- lieve that something almost as lovely may be substituted at Emery. So, reviewing these most successful years, we leave Witlirow with the happy memory of four years of good fellowship and learn- ing. We hope that future senior classes will accept the challenge that our leaders and their followers are offering. May they leave the school better for having known them, as we have tried to do.

IUNIORS AR back in the dim, ancient days of 1929 we strode across the bridge, wear- ing our best clothes and an air of great dignity. As tradition demanded, we searched anxiously for missing class-rooms, dropped our elusive books in conspicuous places, were properly impressed by the seniors, and did our nightwork every night. Finally the glaring green aura which sur- rounded our every act lost some of its brightness, and we became a rather insig- nificant part of the school. Our class was audibly present at all of the games, even if we did confuse our cheers at times. We were tested for our intelli- gence ratings, although the seniors deemed it a hopeless task. We endured the agoniz- ing famine of last lunch, last call. The conjugations and declensions of a foreign language swooped down upon us, tricky algebra formulas became daily fare, and we met the gods of Greece and Rome in all their glory. The dread exams followed these! As sophomores we fully justified the meaning of the word wise folly. We became so insufferably conceited and author- itative that one could scarcely distinguish us from the haughty seniors. We were true sophisticates-for had we not learned to laugh loudlyat Mr. Surdo's jokes, to suc- cessfully explain in fifteen different ways the reason for our unpreparedness, to dis- course impressively on the faults of various teachers, and to give the exact location of any room in the building? We entered Withrow with a feeling of true importance and responsibility this year. A number of our members joined upper-class clubs and activities. We have learned the true ideals of Withrow and accepted our part in advanc- ing them. Soon we shall reach our senior year-the finest one of our high school career. Although we are the thirteenth graduating class, we hope to survive the avalanche of black cats and bad luck which must cross our path and achieve the emi- nence of preceding Withrow graduating classes.

Remember when we en- rolled in 1929, and signed those imposing white slips? And that marvelous, tre- mendously proud feeling that we carried with us almost as constantly as our books? We were like so many bright, highly- inllated balloons-bouncing perversely about the halls in the frenzied freshie fashion. Finally some supercilious senior punctured our overweening emptiness, and we pain- fully settled down to earth. We became meek, model children-till we should be sophomores. But the next year came. We flounced across the bridge, we hulloed the teach- ersg we banged doors. We were sopho- mores. Our humility had vanished. At least we used to ask to sharpen our pencils, then tiptoe to the sharpener as quickly and quietly as possible. But 1950 found us slowly shuffling up the aisle in splendid dis- regard of books and papers overlapping the desks, and it never entered our heads to ask permission. Indeed, it was even with a feel- ing of condescending superiority that we favored the teacher with a legible script. The midyear found us Houndering help- lessly among a sea of papers on What the Up-to-Date Sophomore Should Know. But even the midyears were soon over. A very large majority of us passed and we all pegged away till spring fever caught us and held us in the usual listless mood. Then, after only too short a time-the finals,-and our sophomore year was at an end. Out of respect for the efficiency of the Junior and Senior teams, we refrain from the trite and traditional mention of our own athletic achievements. We have at last found a definition for respect. Perhaps next year, when we ourselves grace the heights of upperclassmen, the sophomores will regretfully make the same announcement. The activities of the various clubs open to second year pupils were en- thusiastically participated in by us. We'll never forget the brilliant costuming, color- ful setting, and fine acting of Mrs. Howards last play, Once in a Lifetime. Under the practiced teaching of Mr. Newell Bush many of the innocent young sophomores gradually assumed a bit of senior technique-not the same type of technique, however, that charmed the audi- ence during the Chorean Dance Club pro- gram, nor held us spellbound at Mr. Surdo's Annual Concert. Perhaps we have been just like any other second year class, but we Hatter ourselves that we were really quite exceptional. Our feelings were much more tender than previous sophomore classes,-for we skated to school! We were as easy as could be on the freshmen and still impress them. Wife managed to keep the second-floor teachers busy chasing the sophomore Romeos from the corridors. Mischievous we may have been-studious we tried to be-ambitious we are. Look out for us! Another sophomore class is out to make itself a name. ALICE PYPER, '55 , .L-5. I 1 u u -at -'fc' in ,Q ':1 ml if ff A a I 3 al g I f ! Q' '! '1 l H I igpfpg! ' 5 X'gx-:- -IQ.

E 'K xr x.l FRESHMEN E, the class of '54, as we approach the close of our freshman year, re- call with smile and an insignificant feeling, the hopes, the disillusion, and the wild ex- pectations of our last days in the eighth grade and our first ones as freshmen. What a difference! . Upon the members of the eighth grade rest the responsibility and dignity of an ele- mentary school, but upon freshmen, though composed of the same people, there rest only ridicule and laughter. How exciting the first September day was! The disillusion of being only a freshman had not yet dawned, just the halo of being a high school student was visible about us. Running around the halls vainly trying to find certain rooms occupied the rest of that day, the awakening had not yet begun. But the second day, and the third, and the fourth!!!! We found, at the end of that first week, that we were from one to three inches smaller than we were at the begin- ning of the week, in direct proportion to the number of seniors who had glanced super- ciliously at us, or the number of wrong rooms we had entered. The following weeks were a maze of white corridors, strange faces, yawning black- boards, and confusing room numbers. We came to the conclusion that we were not an exceptional class, but only normal, and-per- haps-a little below. There were so many people, and all except us seemed to know where they were going, and what everything was all about. We received quite a blow when we realized our actual classifications by the seniors, who have dubbed us stupid, just mere wisps of nobodies from nowhere. We recollect with horror our futile wanderings through the corridors, the delaying of a long line of im- patient upperclassmen while hesitantly selecting the proper vitamins and calories from a variety of food, and our hoarse, un- godly outbursts at our first football game. The thrill of that first game is inexplicable. Before this, perhaps, we had witnessed many such games, but never before had we be- longed to the team that was playing. We knew then the feeling of victory that came with the feverish singing of the school song and with mad cheering. We have not yet arrived at the stage of sophistication which watches a football game without the slightest flicker of an eyelash. But we are learning. It is June. Next year we shall be sopho- mores. The thought sends the thrill of awakened ambition through our veins. We realize that the great hopes we so confidently held for ourselves last year have not died. They have merely been hidden by a lunch room tray, and silenced by its crash. K Again we look forward to our future achievements at Withrow, and now we face the sober question of upholding the stand- ards of our school in the future. We, in time, will grow in stature, our minds will be broadened, and we believe that we shall be able to fill adequately the large gap left by the graduating classes. RUTH BALLMAN, 54.

Wliere greasy-handed boys once explored the ul11l'1HfClSH of dilapidated Model T's, five hundred and fifty seventh and eighth graders scurry about the halls. Wluere wood-working and pattern-making were formerly done, the gym and office now stand. Extensive changes have been made through- out the building, till now a large part is occupied by the seventh and eighth grades of Hyde Park, Oakley, and Kilgour schools. To accommodate the doubled enrollment of this last year there are now fourteen home- rooms, six for eighth grade students, and the rest for seventh graders. Each of these fourteen home-rooms moves as a unit through eight classes a day, but the boys and girls are segregated as to sex. Besides the usual elementary school subject, they have several unique courses. Three extra periods are devoted to an introduction to languages, taught by Miss Borreson and Miss Duncan, while another three periods are given over to Miss Murphy's introduc- tion to business course. These are known as exploratory courses, for they greatly aid the younger pupil in choosing his high school subjects. Another special feature of the junior high courses is the weekly period devoted to club work. The various home-rooms organize clubs of their own which they conduct themselves, thus becoming familiar with extra-curricular activities. As each home- room forms its own club, there is a great variety-chemistry, history, dramatic, and stamp clubs. An excellent intramural system has been developed for the junior high school by Mr. D. D. Gregg, boys' gym instructor. All of the home-rooms participate in the different sports, and each individual is given a chance to play in the game he likes best. Letter awards resembling those of the senior high school are given to the better players. Gym efficiency letters are also given. Special classes have been organized at Vlfithrow for the junior high girls, and they, too, have their intramural games. Both the boys and girls of the junior high school are given the privilege of using the swimming pools the eighth period, when their classes are held. In addition to these many interesting courses, the junior high school boys take In- dustrial Arts. Here the practical side of the school life is emphasized, in laboratories for printing, woodworking, metal work, and pattern making. The pupils move from one laboratory to the next as rapidly as they complete the course of study. After considering the junior high, one becomes more and more impressed with its similarity to Wfithrow itself. As in the senior high, the students enjoy the benefits of a multitude of unusual courses, fitted to all sorts of individuals. Truly beautiful sur- roundings, line equipment, and an interested faculty, are characteristic of both upper and lower schools. We may be justly proud of our protege, who is progressing so rapidly and so well. BOB SOHNGEN.

Here they are learning the principles of art and applying these theories to their own projects, for one learns through actual prac- tice in the art department. The work offers the greatest opportunity for individual, creative work of any subject in the curriculum, In many courses, one is so busy acquiring the fundamentals that little opportunity is given for individual opinion or suggestions, but under the guid- ance of Miss Cook and Miss Green the group become individuals of personality and self-expression. Yet so many things are included under that sweeping term-art. It does not mean creating designs or making jewelry alone- these are the means by which the students receive an appreciation of the finest prin- ciples of arti Through the studying of the great masters, the pupils realize the funda- mentals of composition and design. The use of these methods in their own creative work aids them to understand and enjoy thoroughly the art qualities of the things of everyday life-clothes, buildings, books, pic- tures, designs, pottery, advertisements, or jewelry. Truly the art department is one of the most important cultural forces at Witlirow, for a person who has studied art has a broader appreciation of life and finer standards of living. The art department is a vital part of Wfithrow life. Wluat would the school do without the continual stream of colorful posters announcing the games, the club meetings, Tower News and Awzzzaf, the Thalian play, and the Annual Concert? Much of the success achieved by the de- partment must be attributed to its teachers, Miss S. Louisa Cook, Miss Stella Green, and Miss Sarah Hulick. Miss Cook has given unsparingly of her time and aid for the construction of number- less settings and stage effects for both the Thalian plays and Chorean Dance Club programs. Because of Miss Cook's poor health, Miss Sarah Hulick has ably replaced her as art advisor in the staging of 0nce In A Lifetime. A great deal of praise is due Miss Green for the unique and clever art work which she provides for the Amzzmf and Tower Newt. Her students' illustrations have been of exceptionally high calibre, and were of major importance in Witlirow's achieving two All-American Annuals in eleven years. It is teachers such as these who make school really worthwhile. BOB SOHNGEN.
