G. W. GLASGOW -if Page Pour fif- The Annual Committee of the Senior Class of Nineteen- hundred forty-six presents the Wilson Orion. We hope that we have herewith succeeded in reviewing events of the school year. This is the first Post-war edition, and may we look forward in the coming years for the Orion that need not reflect the sadness and uncertainty of the past few years of war. IENNI KOMARA, Editor B.

The gist of the comedy is as follows: Bob Parker, a high school senior whose best intentions always go wrong, gets into trouble while trying to impress his girl friend, Ioan Aber- naker, who has fallen in love with a college man. Variety and more laughter are added to the show by Dickie, Bob's kid brother, who tries vainly to help out Bob, but makes matters hopelessly worse. Among the most up- roarious scenes in his tingling comedy were: the sabotaging of the P.-T. A. ladies by Dickie with his living room booby traps, and the unexpected breaking of an egg over Mr. Abernaker, the high school principal's head. However, everything is ironed out smoothly in the end, and Bob finds himself a potential millionnaire when the rabbits he has been keeping in the basement are found to be chinchillas. We of the Senior Class, salute the cast for a job well done. Each actor gave a superb performance and should be separately congratulated. How- ever, credit for the success of the play must also go to its Director, Mr. Morris Slavin, to Mr. William Pound of the Youngstown Playhouse, who helped out invaluably, and to the supporting backstage cast.

Good dancer, liked by all, He answered Uncle Sam's call We're all a little sorry our school days have to end, If we had it to do over, we would surely make amend. We'll remember all those little things, like the pranks we played, The four years we have spent at Wilson, the fun along the way. Miss Long and Mr. Wachter always tried to keep us straight, But when we lost our way to class, their sermon we did hate. Those lonely nights in 105, were misery to us all, In case the thought has slipped you it's our detention hall. The Proms, parties, football games, they were all part of the fun The day we cleaned up our school the job was really done! With rakes and shovels we went to seek our goal. Then there is that special person, who'll live within our hearts, Mr. Glasgow, the principal of Wilson from its start. He's more than our principal, more like a father true, He is indeed a wonderful person, a tribute he has due. Now that we must leave Our Dear Old Wilson Hi, Our Alma Mater rings aloud, We'll be loyal till we die. No matter what the future brings, whatever we may do, The days spent at Wilson were, the happiest for me and you. - -Irene Lawrence Happy Memories 'tif Page Thirty-six fab -1?

With wide starry eyes and eagerness to absorb an education, we marched into the auditorium to hear the Welcoming Words of Mr. Glasgow. Before the closing of our first semester in Wilson, we were pulled into a struggle which either meant the survival or down fall of our great nation. Yes, Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941. Many of our boys answered the call to duty. Wilson was Well represented on every battlefront, island and plain. f We saw the death of one of our greatest leaders, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. We saw the defeat of Germanyp We saw the launching of the first Atomic bomb: and we saw the capitulation of Iapan. Thus the ll World War ended. Today many of our boys who answered Uncle Sam's call to duty are home. Many are still to return, but some of them shall never return. The names of Wilson boys who have paid the supreme sacrifice shall ring in the halls of Wilson forever. Because of them, the right of Free Speech, Freedom from Fear, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Religious Perse- cution will be still rights of a free America. We pause here to recognize a debt of gratitude to these boys who have been of service to us. We would like to repay that debt, but for the present we can only offer our sincerest THANKS. To you, the teachers, the deans, and our parents, we would like to say thanks. Yes, thanks a million for all you have offered to us. We know that this is only a small way of expressing our appreciation for what you have done for us, but it comes from the bottom of our hearts. And now it is time to close the covers on this portion of our lives, but these covers will be opened and reopened time and time again for no matter where we may go, wherever We may be, Wilson shall be with us. -Sid Davis Farewell if Page Thirtyvnine Ef- On May the 9th and lOth, the Iune Senior Class presented A Little Honey under the direction of Mr. ludd D. Yeager. Both performances were Well attended. The story deals with the attempts to get Diana engaged to Tom Corning, First, mother's efforts of educating Diana to be intelligent on all subjects proves less successful than Grandma's methods of providing A Little Honey . Grandma has a heavy part and is supported by Scoots, as a child, and Mrs. Simmons, the nurse, who pushes the Wheel chair carrying donuts. A teen-age sister ferry and her boy friend Albert help to perpetrate the plot and fun. Mrs. Tyler helps to produce a triangle between Mr. and Mrs. Minton and to prove that Mrs. Minton's ideas were Wrong. The play had a good plot and was successfully carried through to the end by both casts. Characters in the play were: Treva Richey Bernard Petrella Phyllis Droney Lois Craft Mary Lou Tyson Glenn Lanterman Tom Strauss Erma Timko Georgean Ross Carol Thomas Betty Kavinsky Sheldon Rose ferry Minton, a teen-ager Albert Parker, from next door Caroline Scoots, Ierry's younger sister Diana, Ierry's older sister Delores Meggleharnrner, the cook Tom Corning, in love with Diana Roger Minton, the father Eve Tyler, an attractive widow Martha Minton, the mother Mrs. Simmons, a trained nurse Grandma Thorton, Martha's mother The Sure-Shot Man, an exterminator I une Senior Play -wif Page Forty E1- Treva Richey Tom Williams Martha Witte-nauer Genevieve Komara Vera Castrucci Iohn Fliotsos Tom Strauss Betty Mae Wolfcale Peggy Moore Doris Atkinson Mary Kratko Sheldon Rose Lf, On March 6, the students of Wilson banded together and under the direction of committees appointed by the Student Congress, clean-up day began. Soon after the first group started, Window's began to glow, the halls were swept Clean, and Wilson shone with a new light. The boys, on the outside of the building, did a wonderful job on the lawn and on the property surrounding Wilson. There were buckets and rakes, broorns and wheel barrows, being propelled by Wilson's sharper set. lt was the thing of the day to be behind a clump of bushes, digging out trash, or to be pulling a rake through the lawn. Each period a new crew of workers were released from class to replace those that had already toiled for an hour. They in turn continued the jobs throughout the school and before long Wilson was transformed into clean face number one of the city.

Taking advantage of our fumbles, the South l-li boys scored twice, and walked off with a l3-O victory. WILSON 6-MCKINLEY 14 This game was one of which Wilson fans can long be proud. The Presidents outran, outfought and outplayed a stubborn McKinley team for three quarters only to lose in the last, 14-6. The Presidents drew first blood scoring on a pass to Bob Filip in the opening stanza. The Wilson line held out until the last minutes of the game when the Bulldogs pulled across two touchdowns to win the game l4-6. WILSON 12-CHANEY 0 Wilson chalked up its first win of the season against a scrappy Chaney eleven l2-U. The first half was a scoreless one with neither team showing very much strength. In the third quarter, Tom Battaglia plunged his way over to put Wilson ahead 6-U. ln the fourth quarter, Gus Hlebovy intercepted a pass and with beautiful downfield blocking went all the way to clinch the game for Wilson l2-0.

The Presidents scored three touchdowns in the first half on runs by Franko and Sliman. The Spartans scored a touch- down early in the third period, but Bob Filip broke loose after, receiving a long pass to give Wilson an l8 point edge. Mr. Hartman used' his substitutes during the last quarter with Boardman doing likewise. WILSON 25-STRUTHERS 7 The Presidents put on a great show of power Struthers 25-7. Struthers struck first and was leading White exploded and scored three touchdowns in five touchdowns were Byrdy, Sliman and Filip. Struthers as they bowled over 6-O until the Pied and minutes. Scoring those was no match for the Presidents after this. Frank Kreps added a touchdown in the last quarter for good measure and the game ended 25-7 in favor of our Presidents. WILSON 13-RAYEN 7 In a city series game played at Rayen, the Wilson boys defeated a very stubborn Rayen eleven, 13-7. Bayen scored first on a long run by Lefty Tabachino. Gus Hlebovy scored on a beautiful pass play and this tied the game up. Later in the game, Slip Sliman fought his way over, clinching the game for the Red and White. Throughout the entire game, the Wilson line looked invulnerable. WILSON 13-EAST 21 The game with East was a rough and rugged one with the Wilson fumbles proving the turning point in the game. Every time the Presidents were in scoring territory, they lost the ball on fumbles or downs. Stan Byrdy caught a pass from Dan Sliman for Wilson's first marker and Dan Sliman flew across for Wilson's other marker. The Red and White was ahead at the end of the half, but East came back to life in the final stanza to pull ahead and win 2l-l3. Al Bodine led the way for East, scoring most of the touchdowns for the victorious gridders. 1 WILSON 13-URSULINE 27 The Presidents threw a scare into Ursuline's mighty Irish in the opening phases of the game played at Bayen Stadium, but again fumbles stopped the on-rushing Presidents. Gus Hlebovy featured the offense for Wilson making long gains on end runs. The Irish tallied twice before Hlebovy drove across for Wilson's first marker. Ursuline scored again, but Tom Bat- taglia plowed over for another Wilson marker to run the count to 27-l3. The game continued with neither team scoring. Lou Sequella featured the Ursuline attack making long runs and playing heads up defensive ball.

The fast stepping Presidents, under the keen direction of magician Iohn Franko, had no trouble subduing the Canton boys. Franko's control of the T formation had the Polar Bears baffled to the very end of the game. Shorty fired a pass to Battaglia for Wilson's first score and in the latter part of the game, Gus Hlebovy glided over for the second marker running the score to 13-0. The Wilson line held beautifully with Nick Balkovac, Matt Thon, Bob Filip, and Stan Byrdy playing one of their best games of the season. Iohn Franko's all around playing proved to be the main plug in the Wilson circuit with Gus Hlebovy and the hard hitting Tom Battaglia giving a lot of good assistance. This wound up scholastic football for Franko, Byrdy, Dutko, Irving, Strauss and DeAscentis.

To give the boys and girls of Wilson High a hand in the management of their own affairs is not only an ideal but a necessity. This year a good deal of time Was spent in reorganization. Every home room sends one representative to the Congress. The president is elected by the entire student body, While the other officers are chosen by the Congress. It is customary to hold primary elections for the office of president before the final election. The Congress held a successful dance last February in an attempt to make entertainment an all school affair. A dramatic clean-up campaign was organized to make the building and grounds look more respectable. Various committees have func- tioned during the year.
