In his brief term of service, he has set a high stand- ard of student efficiency through the sound scholarship that must relate itself to life situations at a critical period of world peril. Superintendent Bowman ' s background makes for awareness and authority in his guidance. He has had a broad and successful experience in handling responsible school groups. To each issue he brings the moral fiber of an upright nature, the intellectual integrity of a dis- ciplined mind, and a humane outlook. We are honored to have studied under his leadership. GEORGE A. BOWMAN OUR PRINCIPAL Woodrow Wilson ' s first and only principal, George W. Glasgow, was born in Kirksville, Missouri. He was graduated from Macon High School and ihe University of Missouri, where he edited SAVITOR, the University year- book, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts the same year. After teaching English and history there for one year, he became principal of Shelbyville High School. Then followed a brief try at newspaper work in Los Angeles and San Francisco, which post he gave up to teach English and coach football in a Los Angeles high school. With his bride from Macon, Missouri, Mr. Glasgow next left for Quincy, Illinois, where he entered the insurance business, giving up his work to superintend the schools of Republic, Kansas. He remained for four terms in this position which he resigned to attend Columbia University, New York City. He received his Master ' s degree at the end of a year ' s study in that institution. Mr. Glasgow then came to Youngstown as principal of Washington elementary school, a position which he held until the completion of Woodrow Wilson, two years later; coming to Wilson Junior High as its first principal. He organized this school always with the idea that it should eventually develop into a senior high school. After ten years of planning, Wilson became a full-fledged senior high school, graduating its first class in June, 1939. About eight thousand students have attended Wilson during its fourteen years of existence. The success which is Wilson ' s is due to the hard work and foresight of Mr. Glasgow and a cooperative teaching corps. Wilson ' s faculty presented Mr. Glasgow with a Life Membership in the National Educational Association. He also is a member of the Phi Delta Kappa profes- sional fraternity. Mr. Glasgow has two children: Mrs. Robert Brook, Boardman, and Richard, a student at Case School of Applied Science. He resides at 3935 Southern Boulevard, with his wife and son. Vitally interested in community growth, Mr. Glasgow ' s chief concern is to develop Wilson boys and girls into able citizens, fitted to take their places responsibly in all walks of life. t Page Eight (C«- TO THE STUDENTS OF WOODROW WILSON These are stirring times in which we live. Each of us feels the lift and surge of patriotic enthusiasm. Deep in our souls, we respond to the ideals for which our countrymen are sacrificing. Though you are too young to answer the call of the bugle, there is valuable patriotic work for you to do. Your country is asking for trained and educated men. She needs thousands of them — men trained in mathematics and sciences, commercial workers and men skilled in handicrafts. You are getting this training here at Woodrow Wilson, a training that will make you invaluable to your country. GEORGE W. GLASGOW.

Eleanor Swimmer, editor-in-chief, has shown ability, tactfulness, and cooperation. She, With her committee, Dick Bretschneider, Betty Britain, Dorothy Bolevich, Peggy Buckles, Kathryn Chizmar, Ann Chudik, Harmon Davies, Rosemarie Del Colle, Harry Depp, Louise Gentile, Margaret Jakovina, Margaret Krupa, Patricia Kuhl, Stanley Kwiensky, Barbara Langacher, Maryann Liktar, Bill Morris, Nick Gesacion, Bernard Nagy, Ed Ramsey, John Tablac, Herb Summers, Ruth Yeany, Gertrude Rosen, Andy Savel, Edward Ulichney, George Vanish, and Beatrice Yarov, Annual chairman for the January class, who collaborated splendidly with the June class editor and committee, submit this volume. Harmon Davies, capable advertising manager, and Ed Ramsey, co-manager, did a commendable job, assisted by Peggy Buckles, Patricia Kuhl, Isabelle Lanterman, John Tablac, and William Morris. This year a more democratic system was introduced in the production of the Orion. Departments heretofore inactive were asked to participate. Division pages, Undergraduates, Seniors, Athletics, Music, and Clubs were executed by Bernard Nagy, Edward Ulichney, and Andy Savel. George Vanish designed the tail pieces and William Rakocy rendered the dedication page. It is the hope of the Committee that this book will serve as a memento of the activities and achievements of the Wilson High School June class of 1942, and that the Orion will be of interest to the student body as a school project — not just a SENIOR book. • Page Twelve }; • THE FACULTY MR.

We leave behind us a faculty that has been inspiring, understanding and congenial. We leave behind a student body that some day will achieve greater heights, attain further fields, win goals and set standards, just as we hope we have done. As each class graduates, it leaves traditions and makes the way just a little less difficult for those who follow. Each class develops something new. It is our wish that as you read through these pages, you will receive the vicarious enjoyment of the activities in which you did not participate, and to recall and relive those in which you shared. We would like to show our appreciation to Miss Wike and Mr. Maharry, our class sponsors. We could have chosen none finer, more apt, or more willing to aid us than they. We close with these parting words: Be a friend of all, return the friend- ships; be cooperative, make the most you can with what you have, and above all — Be a TRUE AMERICAN. ■ i Page Thiriy-four } JUNE CLASS OFFICERS John Tablac, Treasurer George Fedorchak, Vice President Eleanor Nordquist, Secretary Val Hlebovy.

Au revoir to the things that have become a part of us. As we, the June graduates of 1942 close the final chapter on our school days, it is not without regret that we bid a fond farewell to those who have rendered us a service far greater than we will ever be able to reciprocate. To the faculty, who withstood all the trials and tribulations we caused and who bore with us, lending helping hands in time of need, we offer our heartfelt THANKS! To you, Mr. Glasgow, who possesses the trait of making yourself seem- ingly on the same plane as the student; who has been a real friend, we are sorry to leave your paternal circle. We will meet no truer friend, nor encounter no finer principal than you have been. It is with misty eyes we say farewell to you. Miss Robertson, Miss Long, and Mr. Wachter were the mainstays in our days at Wilson. Miss Long helped us to keep the straight and narrow path, always friendly and willing to concede our point of view. Miss Robertson guided us over the rough spots of indecision, ever ready to assist us in each detail. Mr. Wachter aided the boys in all things, helping them obtain working permits, half-day schedules, and literally keeping them out of mischief. He served as shock-absorber for their wrong-doings. Miss Gracey and Mr. Silverman who were our class sponsors deserve merits far above our power to bestow. No words can express the gratitude we hold in our hearts for these two persons. As we launch our ships on the sea of life, we feel lumps in our throats as our ALMA MATER recedes farther and farther from view. !( Page Fifty-four ) • : Page Fifly-fi m 6 — , — i - •- k.t 72 . 71 T 55 .55? FOOTBALL This year, the Wilson PRESIDENTS earned the handle, Cinderella Kids in a fiery game with South. The squad capitalized on South ' s plays and introduced unorthodox football to the tournament. This was a moral victory for the Red and White. We chalked up several wins and the splendid school spirit displayed by the student body made the losses seem irrelevant. Four boys made the All-City team this year. Al Antonucci and Al Petrollini made the first string in end and quarterback spots, respectively. George Garasic and Andy Kuchmaner made guard and half back positions on the second string. The team had a good year. Next year they hope to have even better.

The 1941 football season saw the Presidents ring up the curtains against East High, City Champs of ' 40. The final outcome of this contest found the Presidents on the short end of an 18-12 score. Nick Delmark and Company of the Blue and Gold managed to hold the edge over the PRES! DENTS in this thrill-packed struggle. STRUTHERS .... The second tussle of the season saw the Presidents travel to Struthers to meet the down-river crew and ring up their initial victory of the ' 41 campaign. The final score reading, PRESIDENTS 12— STRUTHERS 6. SCIENCEVILLE .... This game really unveiled the potentialities of the Red and White scoring punch as the Presidents crushed their Scienceville rivals, 32-0. Al Curley Petrollini and Al Ace Antonucci laid claim to All-City berths as they ran and passed the Red and Black gridders dizzy, the former scoring once and the latter twice. Also tallying for the Presidents were Jablonski and Deutchlander. The shining-star for Scienceville was Chuck Hassey, former WILSONITE. SOUTH .... Unleashing a terrific aerial attack that left a gathering of 10,000 dumb with amazement, our PRESIDENTS rolled over the SOUTH HIGH WARRIORS to the tune of 12-6. Early in the second quarter, Andy Kuchmaner snagged a pass from Jake Balkovac and galloped 75 yards to pay dirt. Kuchy gave a good imitation of a whirling dervish as he twisted and turned using his splendid interference shrewdly. The South High lads came right back to knot the score at six all. Their joy was short-lived as Balkovac received a pass from Petrollini to ice the game for the PRESIDENTS. CHANEY .... With Chaney on the long end of a six-to-nothing score and but two minutes to go in the game, Henry Clayton waltzed 31 yards for a marker to tie the game at six all. This was the time and place for Mr. Balkovac to reach up with his glue-fingered hands and snatch a pass from Petrollini to fold up the West Siders 7 to 6. CANTON LEHMAN .... The Presidents traveled to Canton to take a mud bath on a rain-soaked Lehman gridiron. Curley Petrollini splashed his way 70 yards for the President ' s lone tally. Score— LEHMAN 27, WILSON 7. BRIDGEPORT .... The Presidents again returned to the victory road, thump- ing Bridgeport 26-0. Petrollini and Antonucci were in the starring roles with Balkovac, Kuchmaner, and Friend featuring. RAYEN .... Crushing the titular hopes of the Presidents, the RAYEN High Tigers defeated them before a sizeable gathering at Rayen Stadium. Score Rayen 13, Petrollini 6. This victory by Rayen enabled South High to gain City Championship via the back door, due to their victory over Rayen. URSULINE .... The Presidents rang down the curtain on the ' 41 campaign with a convincing victory over the Fighting Irish, 26-2. The feature of this game was a 70 yard dash across the last white stripe by Andy Bodzak, fleet-footed halfback. —FRANK FURILLO —DICK BRETSCHNEIDER • J Page Fifty-seven t % - p % Left to Right: H.

SENIOR HIGH BASKETBALL CITY SERIES Wilson was defeated by Rayen in their first city series encounter, 33-32. Russell contributed 17 points for Wilson. Wilson lost their second city game at the hands of Ursuline 27-25. The PRESIDENTS defeated a weak Chaney team 44-32, Balkovac getting 15, and Russell 13, for Wilson. Wilson then ruffled SOUTH, our South side rival. 53-42. Russell, Balkovac and Paluga being the point makers. The RED and WHITE defeated Scienceville 46-32. Russell paced Wilson snagging 17 points. Wilson climaxed the city series by upsetting East 47-44. East being the ' 42 city champs were overwhelming favorites to win. Balkovac made 21 points for Wilson. Sectional Tournament Canton Township 33 Wilson 55 Louisville 32 Wilson 34 Warren 54 Wilson 37 Page Fifty-nine t BASKETBALL The 1941-42 Basketball team compiled a record of 13 wins and 8 defeats. The success of the team was due to the all-around ability of Al Petrollini, and the scoring of Allen Russell, Jake Balkovac and Val Hlebovy. The defensive work of George Garasic and Howard Friend also contributed to make the team. Bob McCall, John Misalko and Charles Bush, although not called upon much, also gave good account of themselves. Not being able to hold the trophy which they captured last year, the PRESIDENTS gave good measure in the city series by tilting EAST, who had won the title, in a tough struggle. An inexperienced WILSON team opened the 1941-42 Basketball season by defeating Howland, 51-28. Balkovac, Petrollini and Hlebovy were the offensive standouts. The following week, Wilson played host to two Long Island teams. The first night they defeated a strong Rockville Center team 35-27, with Petrollini and Hlebovy doing most of the scoring. The following night they defeated Tynbrook, 38-22, with Hlebovy, Petrollini and Balkovac making 20 of the points. The PRESIDENTS scored their fourth triumph in as many starts, downing East Palestine, 40-32. Balkovac made 12 points for Wilson. Wilson then suf- fered the first defeat of the season at the hands of New Philadelphia, 36-23. Petrollini was the only Wilsonite able to hit the loop. Petrollini ' s skill, combined with Balkovac ' s 14 points featured, as WILSON defeated a highly-touted Akron team. Score: Akron South 33 — Wilson 37. Farrell defeated Wilson with a count of 37-21. Petrollini was high point man with 8. The following week Sharon and Farrell were rated as potential state champ calibre. as Al Petrollini made his final scholastic appearance making 9 points Wilson bowed to a strong Canton Timken team, 46-36. The Red and White then defeated Niles 44-27, Russell making 19 for Wil- son. They then defeated Girard 45-50. Russell caged 20 for Wilson. Canton Lehman ' s powerful quintet handed the Presidents a 52-32 shellack- ing. Balkovac made 10 points for Wilson. j Page Sixty ]- First Row: T. Golden, J. McAuley, B. Lee. E. Jones.

JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL First half Wilson Jr. High came out on the small end of the scoring in the first four games, losing to Hillman, Scienceville, Hayes, and East Jr. High. With Bob Gibson scoring 21 points, Wilson Jr. High thrashed Princeton Jr. High 34-24. Second half, Wilson got off to a fine start, whipping Hillman 32-24. Gibson was high-point player with 23 points. The Vice Presidents were defeated by Scienceville. The Juniors handed Hayes a 35-28 defeat and then walloped Princeton 27-16. The Jr. High boys lost the last game of the season to East Jr. High, 24-17. In their second year of existence, Wilson Jr. High won 4 and lost 6. Bob Gibson is regarded as timber for Varsity basketball. i Page Sixty-two } HIGH SCHOOL BOWLING CLUB On January 10, 1942, about 40 boys turned out for the first bowling league matches. After a team of seven boys had been picked to represent Wilson in the Mahoning Valley High School Bowling League, the rest of the boys were put into six teams. Joe Stepien, Tom Pavlich, Allen Russell, Chester Zyzmar, Steve Sepesy, John Kovacic, and Bob McCal! made up the Wilson team for the High School League. These boys finished with the third highest average in the League but the league was a handicap league and our boys had to give pins to other teams in all but about two games. At the end of the season, our Wilson Team was tied for fifth place in a twelve team league. Bob McCall led our boys with a 157 average and was fifth in the entire league standing. The boys will receive letters for their work. The Wilson Bowling League is made up of six teams and at present time the Celtics are leading the second place Cream Rich team by one game. There are two more weeks to bowl and it will be a dog fight for these two teams with the Emery ' s and U. F. M. Clubs having an outside chance to win one of the two coveted spots. The first team members will receive gold medals while the second place team members will receive silver medals. The season will end with a Banquet with all the trimmings. The boys really had a good team every Saturday morning. Next year we expect to have a girls league. So come on girls, next season we expect to have as many or more girls out than we had boys this year. We know there will be more boys next season. Firsi Row: R. McCall, T. Kuharski, F. Sepesy. R.

Although some fine shooting was done, our boys fell down in matches with other high schools. In the National Matches in which two hundred seventy teams competed, we finished in one hundred forty-sixth place. Last year our boys captured second place in the B-division of the Ohio State high school competition for which we were awarded a plaque. At the present time we hold first place in the B-division and hope to retain that position to the final matches. The team had three individual scholastic meets. Here our boys were up against stiff competition and were defeated by all three opponents. In our clash with the faculty we took the profs over. The Mahoning County Rifle Tournament sponsored by Post 15 of the American Legion was held April 11th. Our team rated second in the city, losing to South High. However, we finished third in the county with Boardman nosing us out of second place. J. Palkovic, Orin, Barton, R. Palkovic and Gulliford made the first team in the tournament. The two Palkovics and Gessler starred with individual honors in position shooting. + $ Page Sixty-fr ui • GOL5 TEAM sen ' s Golf Team :. :.■? .-. -;: ' M - ; Invitational High School Tournament omen i ::nd places The team Lmjjad ; :r. .

A German grandmother, portrayed by Ruth Yeany, and Mark Novosel, her grandson, were cast in a flight from Germany. The thread of the story was carried by soloists, speakers and robed choirs to a thrilling climax Gloria in Excelsis. Outstanding performances were given by Paul Magura as a preacher; Helen Lou Ceglie as the White Sister in Shubert ' s Ave Maria. The triple trios as nuns, and guardian angels. The English carolers, the tableaus, and the A Cappella Choir participated in artistic and pleasing numbers. Wilson ' s Vocal Director, Mrs. Leah McDonald, author and director of the pageant was efficiently assisted by Miss Jane Eckert, dramatic instructor. Mr. William Omeis, orchestral director supported the pageant in a fine artistic manner. The Art students under the capable direction of Miss Helena B. Hastings, designed and wrought the beautiful Cathedral window, with programs and posters following the religious theme. Bernard Nagy, Grant Williams, George Vanish, Steve Mulichak, John Serenko, Dominic Nudo and Wm. Rakocy designed the stained glass window used as the setting. George Vanish executed the central rose window using Raphael ' s Madonna of the Chair as his inspiration. ■ 3f Page Seventy-two )■ Clarinet: J. Ziegler, E. Smith, E. Lilley, M. Girardi, C. Burkey, D.

Their schedule included music for eight basketball games, three being out-of-town tussles. Two swing concerts at the Long Island basketball games gave variety to the program. In March, a band concert was given. A special Brass Choir furnished the music for the June Baccalaureate. Jimmy Williams, the drum major, won the Ohio State Legion Junior Champion Drummer Contest at South Field last summer, and received a beautiful trophy as a prize. This trophy has been on display in the trophy case. Several of the band members represented Wilson in the Ohio State Fair last summer and were given high ratings after the tryouis. The Annual Band Concert on March 25, drew an enthusiastic crowd. The featured number was, The Finale from the New York Symphony, by Dvorak. The other numbers presented were: an excellent trombone solo by Jack Booth, a trumpet solo by Leonard Szymanski, and a well-done train novelty. The popular music was represented by the B flat Minor Piano Concerto, Blue Skies, and There ' s Something About a Soldier. The Band began its spring practice marching with the largest band in the history of the school, and we expect to have the best football band on the gridiron next fall. A loss to the band will be these graduates: Anna Catherine Miller Edith Bonser Louise Berendt Janice Book Dan Smith Jack Booth Jay Gulliford Robert Skebo Edward Ulichney Leonard Szymanski - ; ,!

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.

It is called upon to make posters, tickets, programs, and stage settings for the social activities of our school. We are willing workers, welcoming every opportunity to de- velop our skill along art lines. The most pretentious problems that we have ever undertaken was the setting for the Christmas pageant. A large stained glass window was designed, using Raphael ' s Madonna of the Chair as our inspiration for the Rose Window. Many of our members have won honors in art. Two former students are enrolled in Art School this year. Both won Scholarships. Three members ex- hibited in the National High School Competition at Carnegie Museum; one winning an honorable mention. The background of our picture is a part of the mural designed by Robert Sonoga; based upon William Cullen Bryant ' s Thanatopsis. Miss Helena Hastings is our instructor and our adviser.

AIRPLANE CLUB In April, 1942, all the nation ' s schools were asked to make 500,000 scale model airplanes for such purposes as recognition and range estimation. These planes will be used in the Navy, the Army and civilian defense groups. A number of boys in the shop have volunteered for the job at Wilson, under the supervision of Mr. Wachter and Mr. Silverman. All types of planes are being built, fighters, scouts, bombers, et cetera, representing the aircraft of the United States, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, and other countries engaged in this war. The U. S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics supplies the drawings and plans. Wilson was the first school to turn in twenty planes. The boys are taking quite an interest in their work and are planning to finish twenty more by the end of June 1942. In a vital way, these preparations relate youth ' s work to the world ' s work. ■ j Page Eighty-two }?• BOOSTER CLUB One of the newer and most functional clubs at Wilson is the Booster Club. Through the efforts of the individual members, many of Wilson ' s organizations have been successful in carrying on school functions. The Athletic events, especially, were made successful through the combined efforts of this club. Booster is truly the correct name for a member of this group. They are distinguished by their ability to encourage interest in school activities. Many issues, unable to be accomplished by other groups or persons have been done by this organization. Each project they back is largely successful. The faculty chose twelve students thoroughly imbued with school spirit. When one of these members graduates, he places the name of an under- classman in the hands of the officers for possible election.

CHEERLEADERS The popular notion of a cheerleader is one who gets out in front of a crowd and wildly waves his arms about and goes through a process of strange antics. To understand really what is behind the work of such a leader one must become acquainted with the requirements and long hours of practice needed for such a job. A cheerleader, like any other athlete, must keep in trim throughout the entire season. This means practice and more practice; especially in front of a large mirror so that the flaws can be easily detected and then corrected. When the athletic program is over, the squad begins practicing for the following season. New members are invited to try out and work along with the older ones. We have our fun as well as our tribulations. The most successful ones are awarded letters. The others work and wait for their rewards to come. Mr. Zoss is the able director and leader. ■4 Page Eighty-four } WILSON CINEMA CLUB The Wilson Cinema Club is an organization whose duty is to operate the projectors used in visual education and noon hour shows. The club is composed of eighteen boys and a faculty adviser. New members are elected each semester from a list of applicants sub- mitted by prospective members. The officers of the club are Edward Martin, President; Philip Haggerty, Vice President; John Lungu, Secretary; and Richard Palkovas, Treasurer. Mr. Datson is the capable faculty adviser. The noon hour shows, operated by the Camera Club, are full length pictures, produced and directed by the major Hollywood Picture Corporations, and the admission rates are low enough to comply financially for everyone. Each member of the club has a post for a period of one week and to cover all of the posts requires nine weeks. Members mast learn to operate carbon arc and Mazda Projectors 16 mm. sound and silent projectors, the 35 mm. sound machine and the public address system. The operation of these machines is very interesting as well as educational and practical application may often be applied.

KE-CU-WA The Ke-Cu-Wa is a group of girls from 10-B, 10-A, and 11-B, who form the junior group of the Girl Reserves. The girls hold their meetings at the Y. W. C. A. the first and third week of each month. The purpose of the club is to find and give the best. The girls have programs from which they can better themselves and help others. The programs are of different types, always doing what is best for the girls. Their aim is to follow their code, which is As a Girl Reserve, I will try to be: Gracious in manner, impartial in judg- ment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest in purpose, seeing the beautiful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self, ever dependable, sincere at all times. Their ever-ready and helpful advisers are Miss Judge and Miss Romanick.

It is a chapter of the national organization under the direction of the Y. W. C. A. of Youngstown. Girl Reserves at Wiison are divided into two groups in order to distinguish between them. The name Sorelle was given to the Senior group. The aim of the club is to face life squarely with the purpose of finding and giving the best. Aside from the many services rendered, such as dressing dolls for Christmas and filling baskets for the poor, the club enjoys many social affairs, such as skating parties and dances. The sponsors for this group are Miss Luebben and Miss Greenwood and they are to be commended for the fine work they have done.

LATIN CLUB The Latin Club was organized in 1936, ana is sponsored by Mrs. Hart. The purpose of the Latin Club is to maintain and increase our interest in Latin, the language that has been most widely used in the history of the world, and that has given us over half of our English words. The chief aim of the club is to improve, through language study, our ability to use and appreciate, our own language. The meetings are held monthly and are varied. In them we feel that we learn much of political and social value, and get some conception of the debt we owe to this earlier civilization. We compare their successes and failures with our own and thus become better able to understand present-day prob- lems, and become better citizens. We also study the contributions the Romans made to modern culture, science, and art. We are made to feel some of the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome. Our recent meetings have included a travelogue and a book review. The social side of the club is not neglected and all members look forward to the annual breakfast in Mill Creek Park.

THE HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club is a boys ' organization functioning in nearly every large school in the United States. The purpose of this club is To create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. During the school year the Wilson Hi-Y participated in the following events: The Hi-Y and Torch Mother and Son Banquet, the annual Hi-Y State Conference, a New Year ' s Prom at Stambaugh Auditorium, the annual Hi-Y Civic Day, the Mahoning Valley Youth Conference, and a Hi-Y May Prom at Idora Park.

Such an organization enables the students to secure better and less expensive ac- commodations. The club membership is composed of juniors and seniors who join by application. Inquiries and reservations for trips are made by the members under the supervision of Miss Florence Roane and Mr. Hudson Martin, the club advisers. During the fall the club chartered two buses for the Ohio State-Purdue football game at Columbus and opened the trip to the student body. Travelogues are shown at the meetings with the help of Mr. Datson, head of the visual education department. Visiting one of the radio stations during a broadcast and watching the Vindicator presses roll out the headlines are also on the program calendar. A social event is held each semester. A week end trip to Detroit by the way of Toledo is also planned. President, Isabel Lanterman Vice President, Betty Belle Davis Secretary, Ann Chudik Treasurer, William Rhodes •sf Page Ninety } THE TORCH CLUB The Torch Club is affiliated with the Hi-Y and was founded on the same principle. It does not include the same grades as that organization, for it is open to 10B, 10A, and 1 IB only. Its slogan, Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship and Clean Athletics, is respected by all of the members. The Torch Club serves to develop leaders and to Create, Maintain and Extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character. The Torch Club is proud of its newly-organized and rapidly growing School Improvement Program. When members leave the Torch Club for the Hi-Y, they are better qualified for leadership in the Hi-Y and in life.

The aim of the club is to further the appreciation of the theater, study plays, stage, and radio technique, play writing, and acting. This group has loads of school spirit and is one of the outstanding social groups of the school. Every stage production presented by this club has been a success. It has always been represented by the most outstanding students with unusual ability. This year they did not present a play, but many members of the Stagecraft Club were in the Senior Play. Mr. Barber is the able director of the group.

Each person has his own particular job and knows when a dead-line has been set that he is to do it. The aim or slogan of the paper is: Of the students, for the students, and by the students. We belong to several honorary organizations, namely: Tri-County Journalism Association, Journalism Association of Ohio Schools, and the Quill and Scroll. Each year ten outstanding journalists are selected for honorary member- ship to the Quill and Scroll. Mr. Martin is our adviser and arranged for many interesting and edu- cational trips for the group. The annual Hi-Lights Dinner will be at the Mahoning Country Club. Mrs. Muldoon conducts the Journalism Class which is the workshop of the newspaper. First Row. Left lo Right: I. Guilinger. E. Fagin, E. Nordquist. A. Langacher, B. Langacher. B. Daprile, E. Shea.

HI-LIGHTS REPRESENTATIVES Each Home Room Representative plays his part in the life of a Hi-Lights edition. He must ascertain beforehand the number of subscriptions needed for each particular issue, then he must follow up this work by distributing the papers. By no means have his duties ended at this point. Now he must really expend effort in order to collect the money from each subscriber; and then turn it over to the Hi-Lights collector who calls for it. Each Home Room teacher selects a student to act as a representative. This student must not only be willing to undertake the task; but he must be, in addition, aggressive, punctual, earnest, reliant, and pleasingly polite. When a representative fails in these respects he is replaced immediately since it is no easy task to promote and increase sales within the individual home rooms. | Page Ninety-four )■ OFFICE GIRLS Sponsors: Miss Long Miss Robertson Mr. Martin Mr. Wachter The office girls are the Girl Fridays of Woodrow Wilson. They spend one period a day, which would ordinarily be a study hall for them, doing the hundred and one odd jobs that confront their sponsors. The work they do leaves their employer more time for more important items on his calen- dar. They are as dependable as the Rock of Gibraltar, and are ready and willing to cooperate efficiently and do various tasks at any and all times. These are the girls you see hurrying around the halls during periods when everyone else is either in a study hall or in a class. These girls help the school run smoothly. Without the wonderful help they lend, the school would be swamped with unfinished work. This training is excellent for themselves as well as their sponsors. These girls are becoming accustomed to the routine of modern business. Of course, we can ' t all be fortunate enough to work in an office, but those who are holding such a position realize and appreciate the experience they are receiving. First Row. Left to Right: A.

Duane Rodgers, Carolyn Hamlin, Don Atkinson, Bill Orin, Thelma Huston, Beatrice Yarov. Under the capable direction of Mr. Judd Yeager of the Wilson faculty, the senior class of January, 1942, staged a successful play entitled, Where There ' s a Will. The play was produced in the auditorium, November 13th before a capacity crowd. Rare talent was revealed in the various character- izations. The talents of all blended with fine artistry into a perfe ct play. The various complications ensuing as the result of a rich man ' s will caused the audience literally, to roll on their sides.

JUNE SENIOR PLAY— CLASS OF ' 42 The sparkling comedy, Almost Summer is about that typical American and very familiar, Jones family. It ' s just three days ' till school is out, and eighteen-year-old Paul needs a 95 in history to be acceptable for the University in the fall. To add to his troubles, Kramer is trying to win Jane away from him and the convertible that was a graduation gift helps a lot. Paul dashes off to plead with the principal for the recommendation he so urgently needs but smashes the old family bus into the principal ' s car. Cramming is the only way out, and Jack, Jane ' s brother, and also Paul ' s side-kick, start cramming. Jack and Kramer also need to pass the exam but they plan to steal it. They borrow Jack ' s flashlight and in the excitement they drop it in Smudgely ' s office. Adding to these lively episodes is staunch Pop, amusing and sly Junior, his girl friend, Lilah, Mother, and the maid, Anna.

Every morning, during the school year, eleven Boy Scouts solemnly raise the flag. The bugle helps one to start the day right with, Call to Colors. While the bugle blows, students stand at attention in absolute silence paying tribute to the flag. Many of the rooms pledge allegiance to the flag at the close of the bugle call. The student responsible for the bugle blowing is Jack Hughes.
