THE ORION 1940 ■■ .. .M-. y yA Published by THE SENIOR CLASS WOODROW WILSON HIGH SCHOOL YOUNCSTOWN, OHIO, - - VOLUME 2 GEORGE W. GLASGOW, A. B., A. M. PRINCIPAL Address to Seniors Among the Greeks, who were both poetic and imaginative, those who had challenged their admiration, were translated to the skies. Most of the constellations of stars in the heavens bear the names of the mythical heroes and heroines of this ancient people. Among the favorites of the gods according to old Greek mythology was the mighty hunter, Orion and his dog, Sirius. The legend runs, that Orion was removed from the earth as was his faithful dog, and became known as Orion and the Dog Star. We might say that to hunt means to search. Therefore, a mighty hunter could be taken as a mighty searcher, and perhaps the Greeks in their poetic imagination regarded Orion as a mighty searcher as well as a mighty hunter. I can easily imagine that our year book is rightly named Orion, the searcher for truth, beauty, and goodness that live in every group of young people — a searcher for and a recorder of the ideals of a great institution. As such it is well for our Orion to emulate the thought of the celestial Orion, that star and his faithful dog that sweeps the heavens and travels in the high places. I would leave this thought with the Orion staff — that our year book ever be a searcher and recorder, searching the high places for the lofty ideals that youth holds in common with Woodrow Wilson School. GEORGE W. GLASGOW. 1940 ORION aJJcdicatiQir To those who lent a helping hand over many a rough spot and spoke understandingly when things went wrong; to those who gave their patience and energy that we might some day be fine citizens; to those most understanding of people — the faculty, we dedicate this annual with pleasure.

So they took to the river where they caught a WHALEN a WEBB.

Out of the weird fantasy of swiftly rushing clouds one could distinguish the darting lights of a low, purring transport ship, dipping and swaying to the rush of the wind. Then suddenly it shivered, its engines coughed and sputtered, it began dropping lower and lower. In vain. Pilot Lawrence Schultz and co-pilot Bill Tysell strove to control the fluttering ship but swifter than a feather it drifted earthward. C-R-A-S-H! and then silence . . . deathly appalling silence!!! Little tongues of flame began licking around the tail of the plane! The door burst open and out crawled Michael Repasky, famed designer, dragging the limp form of Mary Babnic, his partner. The hoarse voice of Professor L Lev, B. A., M. A., excitedly urged the passengers to try and move more quickly. From the fiery torch of the plane there hastened three bedraggled forms, John Naberezny, America ' s foremost artist; Mary Rieger, mannequin of New York and Paris, with Marianne Mikicic, Broadway ' s newest sensational singer as her companion, and finally Jean Williams, the stewardess. At the crucial moment, when all seemed ready to give up, they agam heard the Professor ' s voice as he called to a stranger who happened to be strolling along the sand dunes. The stranger turned out to be Paul Kolcum, a personage well-known in the agricultural field. Professor Lev inquired as to their whereabouts and Mr. Kolcum told them that they were within a short distance, of the Pine View Summer Resort. Together Professor Lev and Mr. Kolcum went to the summer resort to get help for the others. They were directed to the proprietor of the only hotel, Tom McLean who told them about two famous doctors that were staying at the resort, so the three of them went after Dr. Hardie and Dr. Sally, who were in conference with Dr. McGovern. They returned to the plane with the doctors and their nurses Mary Medved, and Mary Halas, to help the injured. But the passengers weren ' t really injvired physically, they were recovering more from shock. Just then Fred Roberts, ace news reporter, arrived to take in his share of the accident. He was accompanied by his cameraman, Harry Bradford. After finding neither broken bones nor any other serious injuries, they all got into cars and went back to the hotel where they were well taken care of. The next day the pilots made arrangements with airplane mechanic, Bob Mellinger, and his assistant Harold Peplow, to repair the plane, while the three feminine passengers decided to explore the resort. In the hotel lounge they caught a fleeting glimpse of Bernard Sigal, President of one of the largest banking con- cerns in the country, and his ever-present companion, Irving Mendelssohn, also well-known for his work as a lawyer, and with them was Mr. Mendelssohn ' s competent secretary, Shirley Moranz. Once outside the hotel they went to the broadc?sting station, WWHS, where they met Bill Dell, chief engineer; Chester Wallace, and Paul Walko, announcers, and Norma Boiles a script writer, one of the best in this line of work. They entered one of the studios and listened to some programs. They heard Mildred Fisher singing with Russel Maze ' s orchestra accompany- ing, starring the famous drummer Valerio Sinesio; Esther Strauss, giving a piano recital; Rina McKinney being interviewed on her latest book, which is a Nobel Prize winner; Al Brocious being presented with first prize as the nation ' s best long range rifle shooter; Virginia Gartner, guest star of the Palfi Petal Powder Radio Theater, about to plav the lead in her latest Broad- way stage play, written by Elinor Love and produced by George Dubec. From the radio station the girls went into a very popular tea room, managed by Margaret Brinko and Kathleen Strange. After this pause for refreshment, they went to the largest and 1940 ORION 47 Class Prophecy (Continued) newest theater managed by Tom Conroy and Jack Webb, where they saw Sally Deskin and Fred Castle, renowned dancing team, with Mary Estes, the accompanist. The next morning they went to the gymnastic classes conducted by Mary Varconda and Bill Petrollini. That evening, after resting all day, they went to a ball held in the hotel. The room was filled with the fragrance of flowers, furnished by Cammack Brothers ' green houses, and artistic pieces of furniture designed by Sam Valenzici were used throughout. The following persons were guests of honor, Steve Janek, governor- to-be; Joe Novotny, chief of police and Steve Kratko, G-man. Among those present were Kay Rohman photo- graphers ' model, Jean Truog and Dorothy McCausland co-authors, and Andy Koziki, sports commentator, Ann Mangie, Olga Belief f, Anna Mae Coyle, Peggy McComb, teachers; Jean Wil- liams and Helen Schween, lovely society matrons; Edward Whalen, dentist; Walter Swita, Emery McDonald and Joe Klembara, chemists; Bill Dlacich and Jos DiLoreto, owners of an automobile factory; Agnes Gaydos, hair stylist; Josephine Student, singer; Sue Balog, Sue Rabinchak, Lillian Benny, Catherine Jacko, Anne Lungu, Helen Kachmer, Ann Halas, and Vera Sovinet, Civil Service Workers in the Commercial Field; Milan Sablyak, manager of an amusement park; Joe LaPresta, telegrapher; and Lillian Yosay, an Olympic champion. The waiters walked silently around the deserted dining-salon drawing window shades and removing the chinaware. On the sweeping marble stairs the last loiterers were calling Good Night. The great ship roared forward and glided into the morning sky with effortless ease, its wings all gilded with the rising sun — Bound for further adventures in life, while those below waved farewell. 43 WOODROW WILSON O E 5 u ' Q c I t o o 6 X •2 -= 2 Q £ Football After a rather poor showing at football most of the douhley talented boys were very glad to turn to basket- ball. Although Coach Hartman had a large squad report for the first practice, he found it a rather tough job to fill the many vacancies left by the departing of most of last season ' s team. McAuley and Fox were the only seniors chosen for the first half of the schedule with Petrollini, De Orio, Roberts, Whalen, Russel, Hi ncy and Neider around for the complete show. The season opened at Lisbon where McAuley ' s pivot shots lead Wilson to a 35 to 16 victory. A trip to Sharon proved costly when Wilson lost its 13 to 8 half time le.ld to lose IS to 17. Old friends proved enemies as the Varsity held the Alumni and Frank Ilaus down while winn ng 29 to 17. Wilson had revenge as Boardman fell, 26 to 21. .Memorial had to fight, a defense for their cramped gym and our boys tasted a 14 to 3 1 defeat. Billy Fox led the Presidents to a 25 to 20 win over Brookfield. Fox had 13 points. Howland proved to be a pushover when Petrollini ' s 15 points handed them a 33 to 19 setback. Revenge again. Woodrow 30. Niles 20. McAuley and Petrollini, II) each. McAuley showed his early season form, scoring 16 points as WellsviUe fell before Wilson, 3 to 16.

The injuries, bad breaks, and all around tough luck that piled up to ruin their hopes of a good record, were over- shadowed by the great courage that the team was able to show. It took more than average courage to carry out a schedule that contained defeats for them by some of Ohio ' s strongest teams: Niles, East, South, Struthers, Chaney, Ursuline, Wellsville, and Boardman, along with a tie by Fitch. Injuries to DiOrio, Baker, Thompson, Kratko, Symanski, McMillen, and many others on down the line were a big factor in the team ' s many defeats, but the thing that led to more losses than any other excuse was the lack of good substitutes for the Presidents. Our Presidents were running things without the use of a good Vice-Presi- Even with all of this tough luck the boys did not do as badly as most of the final scores show. SOUTH opened the season by squeezing out a disputed v ictory 7 to 0. Hartman ' s boys kept their goal line uncrossed for four quarters but the shock proved so telling that they forgot to end the tie themselves, as they held FITCH to a scoreless tie. STRUTHERS, after several poor showings at the beginning of the season, came to life long enough to add a win 18 to 0. WELLSVILLE had another one of the Call brothers left in the lineup from the year before and our boys looked like anything but champions in a 33 to defeat. BOARDMAN looked terrible but the Presidents were worse when the final score read 18 to fj. CHANEY could do nothing with Wilson until Joe DiOrio was removed from the game by Injuries, then they went on to win 3 3 to 0. On a visit to NILES Wilson threatened on several occasions but lacked that final drive while two-thirds of Niles 21 points came about on brilliant runs from deep in their own territory. URSULINE used their first team only when Wilson threatened, to edge out an 18 to victory. EAST had one to many Jacksons playing for them but still were unable to hold the Presidents scoreless. The final score was WILSON 7, EAST 25. If Wilson could have had all of it ' s best talent on the field at one time It would h.n ' e been as strong, if not stronger, than any team on the schedule. With DiOrio to kick and pass, Len Symanski to display his great run- ning powers. Baker ' s drive, Thonipson ' s cleverness, Petrollini ' s ability, Kratko ' s courage, and the rest of the back- field to fill in where needed, the team would have been way ahead on the final scores. The line was as good as anj ' of them but as in the backfield it was never all there. The classes of 1940 are glad to accept the 1939 record as their team ' s showing but the afore mentioned will be glad to accept a good record from the future teams of Wilson. 1940 ORION 53 Rifle Team The Wilson Rifle Team was organized as a club in 1937 under the sponsorship of Mr. McDonnell. The first two years were spent primarily in learning the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship and in building up interest in rifle team work. Last year the sponsorship was taken over by Mr. Hopkins. This year the club idea was changed to a rifle team and has competed with other teams on a basis similar to other high school sports. The team consists of twenty boys. Five boys will be lost by graduation this June. They are: Anglemyer, Brociotis, Dell Mellinger, and Schultz. These boys will be missed next year but their places should be filled by the newer recruits, some of whom have shown promise of becom.ing expert marksmen. School letters were awarded to Anglemyer, Brocious, Dell McQuiston, Mellinger, and Schultz. Individual mention should be made of Larry Schultz for his fine accomplishment of shooting nine perfect scores during the season. The season ' s competition has consisted of a series of ten bi-weekly matches in which the Wilson boys competed with 225 other teams of the country. In this series Wilson finished in seventy-fifth place out of the 22 6 teams competing. In addition to this, both the first and second teams completed in a series of eight matches with other Ohio teams. At end of seventh match Wilson ' s first team stood in fifth place with its second in eleventh place out of twenty teams competing; at end of final series Wilson ' s final standing is fourth for its first team. 54 WOODROW WILSON CHEER LEADERS Rifle Team (Continued) Greatest interest, however, was in the various matches with individual teams throughout the country. Eight such matches were held, with the Wilson boys holding their own with four victories. The second team held one match with South High ' s second team and won by a score of 456-447.

Trips to the Butler Gallery, with occasional treks to the Cleveland and Pitts- burgh museums make the association an interesting one. Twice a year a dance or social time is held. The League functions in school life by making posters, and programs for school affairs. Officers are: President, Dorothy Bolevich; Vice-President, Ruth McLean; Secretary, Kathryn Nordquist, and Treasurer, Elsie Gary. Miss Hastings is instructor and adviser. This year Art at Wilson received special recognition by having two of its members achieve Art awards. John Naberezny, a 1940 Senior, won a full-time scholarship to the Columbus Art School. Three scholarships were offered in the state and Wilson is happy that John received one of them. We expect to hear great things from John in 1940-1941. Robert Sonoga, a Junior, won an award in the National High School Art Exhibition, to be held in the F ine Arts Galleries of Carnegie Institute May 6 to 26. His pictorial composition The Back Yard which won first place in the Junior New Year Show at Butler Art Institute is the one that received the award. WOODROW WILSON The members are as follows: Jack Hardie. President; Irvmg Mendelssohn, donna, Secretary; Kay Rohman, Beatrice Yarov, Jim McGovern, Frank Kicos, Ja Don Miller, Rina McKinney, Ed. Whalen, Bernard Sigal. The Board of Control The Board of Control is now two years old. In that short time it has a series of splendid achievements to its credit. The members have been selected from the junior and the senior classes by popular vote upon the nominees of the deans. They are chosen for their willing- ness, for service and for loyalty to the school, and ability as leaders. The student participa- tion in policies and government of the school is headed up by this body. At the weekly meet- ings many suggestions that would be helpful to the school are discussed and acted upon. 1940 ORION T9 Second Row: Chester Wallace, Ed W ' halen, Bob Mellinger, Larry Schultz, John Paramuchi, Patsy Tratticant, Donald Burkey.

The operating of most classroom educational pictures are in the hands of the club members. Beginning with a membership of six in 1934, the club has grown and expanded to twenty- two members at the present time. All members have a thorough knowledge of the operation and mechanism of the motion picture machines. During this last year the members themselves have helped select pictures for the lunch hour entertainment. Social activities are a regular feature of the club, one of the most successfid festivities bemg the annual picnic in Jime. It should not be forgotten that the success of this club is due to co-operation among its members and directors. 60 WOODROW WILSON First Row, left to right: Ann H,ilas, Mary Halas, Helen Hargos, Ann Vetrecin, Agnes Gaydos, Rtta Gergel, Olga Belieff, Madeline Staron, Julia Ingram, Helen Kachmer.

The students through various field trips and through illustra- tions of different fields of labor have learned what is not expressed in books. Business is carried on in every country, city, and state — hence it is of inestimable value to know and find out some essentials to a successful business outlook — to be able to face and overcome complica- tions. The sponsors are Miss Greenwood, social adviser; Miss Cooper, program adviser; and Mr. Zoss, in charge of the field trips. The social activities were a Halloween party and a skating party given for the benefit of the band uniforms. Field trips were taken through the Youngstown Vindicator, and Station WFMJ. An interesting speaker was Mr. R. D. Craig of Youngstown College, and Miss Murray, court stenographer, gave a stenotype demonstration.

Edward Medved, a student was the winner in the contest that gave this pubhcation its name. A mimeographed sheet at first, Wilson Hi-Lights has now attained its initial goal, a regular printed paper comparable in merit to the other standard secondary school newspapers of the city. Its aim is to develop progressively from year to year until it merits affiliation with the leading honorary high-school journalistic societies. This year the Hi-Lights has become a member of the Tri-County-Columbia, Trumbull and Mahoning- Journalism Association, which meets monthly at the various schools that belong. Wilson will be a host for the first time this year. The paper has a wide awake, capable student staff, alert to all the school ' s growing needs. 62 WOODROW WILSON First Row, left to right: Glenn Webber, Russell Maze, Jack Heneks, Howard L.i Second Row, left Baker, Robert Hermai •ight: Mr. Harry, (instructor), Irving Pincus, Bill McMillcn, Al Vasko, Dan night: Jim Graham, Bill H.ackett, Charles Anglemyer, Frank Bopp, Bill Third Row, left to r Sagrbon, Clarence Yavorsky.

Wilson Hi-Y To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, is the creed of the Wilson Hi-Y and all the Hi-Y ' s in the United States. The Wilson Hi-Y is directly associated with the Young Men ' s Christian Association, the State Hi-Y Council of Ohio, and the National Hi-Y Council. There is a city council of which we are a member along with 23 other Hi-Y ' s in Mahoning Valley. The Wilson Hi-Y was organized three years ago when Wilson turned into a Senior High School. The Hi-Y movement was started fifty years ago and grew rapidly and is still growing. The high spot in the history of the Hi-Y was being hosts to one thousands Hi-Y boys and Hi-Y advisers for a three-day convention. The Hi-Y participates in city Hi-Y training camps, state Hi-Y training camps, state con- ventions and even national conventions. We also have a very definite religious side in the H-Y, going to church in a body and hav- ing the meeting opened with a prayer and Bible lesson. Mr. Maharry has been the able adviser since the club ' s inception. 1940 ORION 63 ,... R.,„ D l opo R n.o.n, . N.„J..,., A L.,n..,.. ,Ou ,„«... G. F.h, M, Wyo, R. McKLey, S. Mor.nz. N. Bo.lc. V.

Junior National Honor Society The Horace Mann Chapter of the National Junior Society was organized in December, 1936. The purpose of this organization is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to develop character in the students. The flaming torch is the emblem of the purpose of this society. To bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep burning in our schools a high ambition for the enduring values of life, and to serve are all symbolized in the torch. Our members faithfully try to carry out the principles: Scholarship, Leadership, Character and Service.

Their meetings which are held at the Y. W. C. A, consist of interesting programs which are helpful to the young girl in the world today. Some of their speakers include hair stylists, health directors, make-up advisers, representatives from the juvenile court and style shows. A tea for their mothers was held. They fill baskets at Thanksgiving and dress dolls at Christmas for the needy. Part of the Girl Reserve code is — gracious in manner, impartial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, earnest in pur- pose, eager for the knowledge, reverent to God, ever dependable. Their purpose is to find and give the best. Their helpful advisers are Miss Judge and Miss Romanick.

Applications for this service were presented of their own volition by students who ranked high in character, leadership, and scholarship. These students were assigned permanent stations in the halls for duty one period, daily, and became known as Monitors. Under the supervision of a Monitorial Committee, of which Mr. Wachter is chairman, and faculty supervisors, these monitors maintain the standards of the school in promoting good citizenship by service to their school community. 68 WOODROW WILSON Marv Esi Norma Boiles, Shirley Mo hirst Row: Rina McKinney, Violet Mastadonn Funk, Esther Strauss, Ann Mangie, Ruth Glozer.

Senior Honor Society The darkened auditorium was hushed till the silence palpitated. The stage floated like a fairy-island in the darkness. Slender tapers flickered, white robes ruffled and solemn ceremonial voices spoke softly as once again the Senior National Honor Society selected the chosen few into its ranks. Many a face became flushed and many a heart pounded in the hidden shadows as members of the Society left the stage and sought amongst the audience for the new members. The purpose of the Senior Honor Society is to recognize those students who excel in scholar- ship, character, service and leadership. The first chapter of the Woodrow Wilson National Honor Society was established in December, 193 8 and it was named for our principal, Mr. George W. Glasgow.

Stagecraft Until 1937, the organization now known as Stagecraft had no distinction, other than being the school dramatic group. At that time it adopted its name, and for the first time combined club and class activities. In recognition of membership, pins were issued. A group with com- mendable school spirit, it has successfully produced a play each semester. Tlie class organization is dedicated to furthering appreciation of the theater, study of plays, stage and radio technique, voice culture, playwright, and acting. This year the play, Look Me in the Eye, was given and proved to be very successful. The membership will be increased again next year. Several alumni of this club are now participating in the dramatic activities of churches, schools, and various organizations. 1940 ORION 71 First Row: Mary Halas, Eleanor Nordquist, Irene Horvat, Dolores W ' halen, Helen Ingram, Caroline Liktar, Anna Babinack.

The aDpcjl of music is universil. It is easy to understand and appreciate; and, with study, to perform. Music soothes our tired nerves and cheers us when we are happy and gay. The Wilson music department has been a source of pleasure to the whole school. It has unselfishly given its time to assemblies, programs, and special holiday ceremonies. Among other performances the following should be mentioned: In December three per- formances of the opera, The Captain of Plymouth, were given to packed houses. Mildred Fisher, Tony Dennison, James McGovern, Dolores Wistler, and John Mikicic carried the main roles. The Spring Festival was notable in its contribution from all groups of the vocal depart- ment. The special training given to those of outstanding vocal ability should be mentioned. Music for P. T. A. groups and luncheon clubs was provided. Small ensembles performed for the Art Alliance Spring Dinner, and Taft P. T. A. Wilson also contributed its quota of radio per- formances. The money raised this year was used for risers, or steps, for concert appearances of the singers. The Annual Committee found them useful, also, for taking pictures. This year a pin, a musical emblem, has been chosen for the vocal department. The groups are organized as follows: The A ' Cappella choir which has eighty-five mem- bers; the Junior Boys ' Glee Club, thirty-eight, and the Junior Girls ' Glee Club, seventy-five members; the Senior Girls ' Glee Club, sixty-five, and the Senior Boys ' Glee Club, thirty-six members. The Girls ' Triple Trio is composed of: Mildred Fisher, Mary Louise Hetner, Margaret Sovinet, Joan Andrews, Wealthie Bush, Margaret Kostyo, Wilma Hubert, Lois Bopp, and Helen Haltaban. The substitutes are: Mary Estes, Connie Taylor, Mary La Volpa, Rose Simione. The Boys ' Double Quartets consist of the following: James McGovern, Charles Angle- meyer, Steve Janek, George Dubec, John Krispinsky, Tom Hughes, Tony Dennison, Bob Mook, Cy Deley, Dick Pompura, Dave Barnhart, Hugh Mackie, William Weinstock, John Komora, and Dick Bretschncider. The accompanists are Esther Strauss, Valorie Simpson, and Donald Burkey. The depart- ment is under the direction of Mrs. Leah MacDonald. 1940 ORION 79 u Junior Girls First Row: Anna Mae Novosel, Betty Belle Davis, Paulettc Edwards.

Ea rl W att ins, .ce Y: .vo, rsky, Ha rry Tom Hi ighes. St eve Willi am Weil nsto ck, 1940 ORION 83 BJ , t -J The Uniform Wilson High Band Wilson High is certainly proud of its band in the now red and white military uniforms. The uniforms were made possible by the Wilson Mothers Club in sponsoring this successful drive. The entire community and the co-operation of the grade schools combined to fill the school auditorium to capacity for three consecutive nights to help pay for the uniforms. The band, in uniform, presented a varied concert each night with soloists Jack Staaf and Robert Herman. Also presented as features were the grade schools, Wilson vocal department, and a students variety show for the final program. With the addition of several other instruments, to be purchased by the Board of Education the band will have sixty members next fall. The organization having concluded its second football marching season last fall, now looks forward to the coming gridiron season with great anticipation. The new uniforms and hats will put the Wilson band on an equal footing with rival bands this coming fall. ORCHESTRA The Wilson Concert Orchestra, while being hidden behind the publicity given the band this year has nevertheless done its work well. Accompaniments to the Opers Captam At Plymouth was the outstanding feature while the commencement and Baccalaureate services are always the regular orchestra programs. The coming year our string section, the most important group in an orchestra, will be strengthened and enlarged. Also additional instruments will be purchased by the Board of Education and in due time Wilson will have a Symphony Orchestra on par with the concert band.

As editors of the Hi-Lights, Rina McKinney and Bill Dell did a swell job. (Chosen as co-editors of the Annual were Jack Hardie and Rina McKinney). On February 6, the Journalism Club gave a Valentine Hop in which Virginia Gartner and Irving Mendelssohn were named the two best dancers. Later on in March, the Girl Reserves opened a school of dancing, teaching those who did not know how to dance. We seniors were given a dance on April 1, which wasn ' t an April Fool joke, either. Some of us entered The Benefits of Democracy essay contest in which Rina McKinney won second place in the county and is now entered in the national contest. With fear and trepidation we crept one by one into Miss Robertson ' s office to find what our class ratings were, according to our grades. Those in the first ten were: Norma Boiles, Rina McKinney, Mary Estes, Shirley Moranz, Violet Mastodonna, Barbara DeKanic, Ann Mangie, Judith Funk, Thomas McLean, Ruth Glozer. Schween and Wagner ' s were our official photographers; Caf arc ' s chosen as the makers of our school rings; and, later caps, banners, and emblems were displayed to use and we ordered many, conducting a campaign to sell the emblems to the entire school. A comedy, Look Me in the Eye, held by the Stagecraft Club was given March 1 5 with Norma Boiles, Irving Mendelssohn, Judith Funk, and James McGovern in the leading roles. Night after night try-outs were held for the senior play, but finally Sally Deskin, Bernard Sigal, Chester Wallace, Madeline Staron, Eleanor Love, Margaret Brinko, Joe DiLoreto, were selected to portray the parts. It was held on May 29. Anne Mangie, Olga Belieff, Judith Funk, and Rina McKinney participated in the Senior Scholarship Contest held at South High. Rina McKinney placed in the higher 2 5 9?. Entered in the Kent State Scholarship Contest were Emery MacDonald, Olga Belieff, Rina McKinney. Madeline Staron was elected president of the Senior Girls ' League with these officers: Esther Strauss, Vice-President; Alice Sumrak, Secretary; Barbara DeKanic, Tre asurer. Big-Sister Move- ments and banquets were planned. April — the annual goes to press. Sometime early in May will occur the annual Hi-Lights Staff dinner dance. May 23, the Junior-Senior Prom; May 29, the senior play; June 9, Bac- calaureate; June 10, our banquet; June 11, our picnic with the 12Bs; and in the evening of June 11, our Commencement, were some of the important dates which occurred too late to be able to place in the Annual. 88 WOODROW WILSON Community and School Co-operation in Progressive Education Woodrow Wilson not only has a new school building and a new status as a Senior High School, but also a modern method of education. This method embodies what is now known as Progressiie Education. In this system of training, the aim is not to depend on text books alone but on research work and field trips. These courses are known as the core courses and are taught in relation to one another, as the use of precise English in the studying of History. This pro- gram of curriculum revision is one of relating the child to life situations in the varying school subjects, and it will extent over a period of ten years. Eighteen (18) schools in Ohio have been selected to conduct the experiment. The program is a progressive challenge to the faculties and student bodies of the interested schools. When approached recently by the reporters of ORION (Wilson Annual) staff, obser- vations were made by some of the instructors: I. The program of the chosen schools is the development of curricula based upon the actual needs of the young people who make up our democratic society of varying racial groups; the problems constantly confronted them in high school, and in the world outside. Since the knowl- edge attained by our grandfathers is no longer adequate to meet the needs of modern days, educa- tion must go forward the same as any other science. Children must be taught individually and not in groups. They must be helped to develop individual traits by relating school living to human relationships. II. It provides the pupil with opportunity to use his facility in handling tools so that his social, intellectual, and moral value may be increased. Democracy versus tradition is the central concern of a progressive education program. III. Each subject is made a functional center of expression, then all are correlated with one another into unified strength, thus translating the spirit of progressive education into terms of democratic philosophy and procedure. IV. This new work establishes a definite correlation between study assignments and pupil life-relationship so that each student will get clear some idea or plan from the general work patterns to develop to the best of his abilities, for carrying on a way of life. V. The curricula will provide all students — whether able or less gifted — with opportunity to handle knowledge tools to increase character values and to stimulate imagination to worthy ends. Outside Speakers As a practical aid, authorities in fields of endeavor have been called upon to give ways of doing. The following already have responded: I. Mr. C. A. Leedy, noted writer on the Vindicator staff, who amused and amazed his audience with his baton-twirling, dancing, whistling, and other talents — the results of his for- mer days as a trouper. II. Judge George Gessncr, who stressed that we should endeavor always to tell the truth and avoid all practice of hypocrisy. III. Miss Aschenberg, personality director of Strouss-Hirshberg Co., who stated that the following things are necessary in order to acquire and hold a position: Personal appearance, ability to get along with other people, ability to take orders and the necessity of gradual experience. IV. Mr. De Vorkin spoke on Delinquency stating that invironment, broken homes, lack of an outlet for energies and creativeness are all important factors in the petty crimes of children which later may lead to adult crime. The district around our school has one of the fmest records in the city for well-bred children. Others will appear at various intervals. 1940 ORION 89 1939-1940-A Year of Achievements For Wilson Between the grimy stacks of the Youngstown steel mills and the beautiful slopes of Mill Creek Park there stands a fine red brick building — Woodrow Wilson High School. In Septem- ber, 1939 it was known to few of the people of Youngstown; but this Spring of 1940 finds a different situation. The youngest member of the Youngstown High school system has become a formidable rival of its older brethern. In music, the lovely voice of Phyllis Weir, Wilson ' s songbird, won the state award for Ohio in the recent Junior Federation of music ' s contest. In writing, the versatile pen of Rina McKinney won her first place in a state-wide essay contest sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of the V. F. W. Her essay, the Benefits of Democracy, was unanimously selected by the judges. It is now entered as Ohio ' s representative in the National Contest. In art, the fine water colors of Jon Nabrezny gained for Jon a full-time scholarship at the Columbus School of Art; while the outstanding talent of Robert Sonoga won him honorable mention and a place in the Carnegie Galleries in the National Art Competition for high school students. Scholastic honors, too, came to us this year when the following students ranked high in the Kent tests. 7th place French I Angcline Yurak 10th place Wilham Rhodes English II 12th place Mary Uhlar Latin I Irving Lev, Rina McKinney, Veronica Hudak, and Norma Valentine received honorable mention. One of the seniors, Rina McKinney, came out in the upper 2 5 of the General Scholarship tests taken at South High by the students of Mahoning county. At the time of this write-up, three scholarships have already been offered to Wilson Seniors. They were sent from Capital University, Columbus for Norma Boiles, Mary Estes, and Rina McKinney. Accompanying these honor scholarships were small medals as a recognition of merit. It is understood that other scholarship awards are to be offered after the date of the publica- tion of this annual which prevents our mentioning them here. We hope that the fruits of this year will but provide the seeds for a better and bigger crop next year.
