ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES, THE SAGA STAFF, FOR THE GRADUATING CLASS OF I94-5, HAS ENDEAVORED TO CREATE A LASTING MEMORY OF OUR LEADERS AND COMPANIONS OUR TEACHERS. I 1 Once more we salute a graduating class, the Class of 1945. You have attended high school during three and one-half years of war. This has macle your tasks more difficult Many of your classmates have succumbed to the lure of highly paid war iobs. Many of the boys have gone into the service of our country. That you have steadfastly held to your goal of graduation is commendable. With your foundation ofa high school education you will be able to take your proper place in the post war world. Our congratulations and good wishes attend you. CHAS. C. LA RUE . . Q - 555 V A lll A : Q .I .ii JC! - - - , s A s Miss AMIE MILLER MR.

Bitter Miss Dorothea Bishop Advisers cgfuczlenf Cbunci Back in the fell of the year l93l, the first student government was established in Woodward High School. Fourteen students were selected to serve as a medium between the faculty ond student body in the interests of bettering our school in every possible way. These students formed a temporary organization for laying plans, and the followingyeor a permanent council was organized. Thus was the beginning of the Woodward Student Council. In the post fourteen years many forward-looking ideas have been adopted. This year the Council proved to be an efficient, progressive student government. Under the able leadership of Senior Don Higley, and the advisership of Miss Dorothea Bishop and Mr. A. R. Bitter, the organization took another step forward in its trek to reach the stage of The Perfect Student Government. Supervising all activities in the auditorium, sponsoring the hall patrol, and promoting the sole of war bonds and stamps were but o few of the many successful undertakings launched by the Council. Serving with President Higley were Vice President Alice Miller, Secretary Ramona Tobey, and Richard Joseph, former president of the Council, acting in the capacity of Executive Officer. ln behalf of the entire school the Sago Staff says, Good Work, Student Council.

A thousand thanks to our adviser, Mr. Raymond Sheline, who had to wade in and rescue us too often. Pop has been adviser of the Saga-Tattler for eleven years. With his friendly, patient guidance, and with our own constant desire to improve the Saga, we feel we have succeeded in recording a clear reflection of life in Woodward. We also are grateful to1Miss Edith Murphy, English teacher, for her assistance with copy composition, and for the many useful suggestions she advanced for im- proving the policy of our annual. Kathryn Keiter, business manager, brought us through a successful year in the accounts and ledgers depart- ment. With Emma Hoff assisting, Kathryn handled the business end of the staff very efficiently. Emma, as typist, valiantly stuck by her Underwood, and served the editorial department as well as the business department. Other staff members were: James Seed, art editor, Sue Cheney and Ernie Klipfel, senior class editorsg Vivian Skaff and Charles Lentz, sports editors: Pat Zakrzewski, class editor, Ervin Part, club editor: and our two iunior troupers, Elizabeth Douglas, in charge of the faculty section, and Dale Rodenhauser, assistant art editor. Many thanks to oll those who contributed their time and efforts in helping to produce this edition of the Saga-Tattler, and volumes of luck to next year's staff. MARVIN HASCAL, Editor-in-chief.

These cre the students whose persistence was most fruitfully rewarded. The 1945 sales campaign could not have been a success, however, without the enthusiastic cooperation of every one of the homeroom representatives. They all gave their time and energy, willingly and freely, in the interests of the Saga. These some students scored again in the annual magazine drive, taking full responsibility in seeing that details of the iob were managed efficiently. The school cannot thank these students enough for the unselfish loyalty that they have shown by carrying through in countless little tasks, to make things easier for the rest ot the students and the faculty.

The board is composed of Mr. LaRue, Mr. Brown, Mr. Van Tassel, and' Mr. Smith. Handling all financial matters, arranging transportation of teams, supplying and caring for equipment, forming schedules of future games, and coaching their respective teams are a few of the more important tasks of this group of faculty members. The 1944-45 sports season has been the most successful in many years, and a great deal of the credit goes to Mr. Charles C. LaRue, president of the board, Mr. A. J.

CHANGES SIGHTED ' P A1 5 PATTER IN SCHOOL SYSTEM We tip our hats to all Woodward- ites who gave up their full time jobs in order to finish their education. We're positive they will never regret it. ik tk wk Our football team is playing its first game tomorrow night. Let's all be on hand at the DeVilbiss stadium to cheer them on to their initial vic- tory. bk PF PF Mrs. Hazel Mclllanamon, Miss Ca- milla Savage, Miss Dorothy Warner and Clyde Van Tassel were the teach- ers from Woodward who conducted courses at summer school during their vacation. A HF X UF Chasing butterflies and moths proved to be quite a valuable pastime to Edward Voss, who added 850 more of these insects to his previous col- lection. if PF FF A busy bee was Mrs. Dorothy Matheny during the summer months. It seems she taught Nursery School, planted a victory garden and canned about 200 quarts of her produce. wk Sli SF Lucille'Foley, last year's news ed- itor, had her tonsils removed recently and is now convalescing at home. Get well soon, Lucy! HF BK 'll During the school holidays, Kath- ryn Keiter, senior, worked for the government, as a typist in Washing- ton. BF IF BF Wedding bells rang out recently for Betty Gajewski and Val Skalski. Betty was a graduate of 1940 and was librarian of the Tattler during her senior year. ' ill Sli iii Proving that Woodward has some very brainy pupils, Clifford David and Jack Lang are taking a course in Senior English during their junior year. HF all if New faculty manager, Leo Robie, served as 'an instructor at Wilson Park during the summer. Mr. Robie was in charge of the swimming and play periods. lk 51 iii Carrie Lou Bridges, Norma Flem- ing and Dorothy Parker were among the many wise students who left their factory jobs to retaprn to school. FK Did you notice sailor Al Whitney and his best gal Marion Karg to- gether at the football premiere last Friday. They made a very cute couple. IF 144 PF Ralph Gajewski's new hairdo is proving to be, the envy of every Vifoodward male. His crowning glory is combed in a porcupine style and stands out every which way in a very remarkable fashion. Maybe it's just his butch hagcut growing out. PF BIC Just in case you didn't know the reason for the sunshiny beam on Bob Feltman's face lately, it's because he is the new owner of a be-oo-oo-tfl 36 Ford sedan. It seems Bob in- tends to raise 4'i31'fJ with it, so Woodwardites beware, especially the females. S2 Si is Mr. Mary O'Bi'ien spent two months at Sarasota, Florida, where swimming in the Gulf, and doing Red Cross work were among her numerous va- cation activities. D X EDU-oA'r1oN Dons PAY It was undoubtedly quite a task this year for many students to decide whether their education or making money was all-important. The war has made it easy to get jobs this year, but when this struggle is over, what becomes of the student who hasn't completed high school and ' -v possesses no diploma . Remember, when the war is ended it will be necessary to be a high school graduate to obtain a position with reasonable pay. In America there is no one to force you to go to school. You don't have to study what the government demands. You're free to choose your life's work. Of course, if you are of age, you can quit school and make the grave mistake of letting the prospect of making money blind you to the real im- ortance of education p 2 Congratulations-to you upper-classmen for heeding the advice of busi- essmen and government officials and returning to school. It was hard to give up those jobs, but it's good to know you are back. The boys over there are battling for existence. Some of them gave their lives so that American boys and girls could continue to go to school. So with a welcome to the freshmen, and a special welcome to the sopho- mores 'uniors, and seniors let's keep this thought in mind. Don't let the I J boys down. WOODWARD THIRD IN ENROLLMENT Despite the large return of stu- dents from summer jobs, there has been a slight change in Woodward's enrollment this 'year as compared to last year's records. The first day census shows there are 264 freshmen girls, 312 freshmen boysg 219 sophomore girls and 201 sophomore boys. The juniorclass consists of 239 girls and 159 boys while the seniors hold last .place with 180 girls and,98 boys. This brings a total of 1672 students for this year. Late enrollments brought this total up to 1732. Comparing last year's records, .there were 290 freshmen boys, .282 girlsg 210 sophomore boys, 273 girlsg 156 junior boys and 227 girls. Seniors also held last place with 95 boys and 165 girls. The total number en- rolled was 1698. A As compared to other Toledo high schools, Woodward holds the third place in high school enrollment. Cv Schedules The money derived from the sale of movie tickets this year will be put into the stadium fund. Movies during C schedules have been planned as follows: Bombar- dier, October 65 His Butler's Sister, November 173 Immortal Sergeant, December 14g No Time For Love, January 183 Spitfire, February 213 Young Mr. Pitt, March 233 and North Star, April 20. Admission price will be 20 cents including tax.-' Many seniors were terribly amused in Miss Camilla Savage's second hour history class, when an innocent pig- tailed freshman entered the room, walked up to Miss Savage and with great seriousness stated that she was lost, and could someone PLEASE tell her where the girls! gym was. X . After a few questions here and there as to who is the handsome freshman lad Woodward girls have been swooning over, we discovered it was Dan Pietrykowski. Upon seeing him for the first time this reporter'S firsh wish was to be about three years youngei. ak gk ak One of the most crowded places this summer was the Canteen on Sat- urday nights. A few of the Wood- ward population secn there weekly were Pat Vergiels, Ramona Tobey, Betty Lou Claypool, -Ernie Klipfel, Norman Wolfe and D011 Davis.

WEIS Profits made from the selling of supplies in the stationers' desk will be used to purchase equipment for the commercial department not sup- plied by the Board of Education. This is the first year the funds have been used for this purpose. The money was previously used to obtain a scholarship by Myron T. Skinner, former manager. Wilson Weis, now in charge, has taken over Mr. Skinner's position, since his retirement. Desk assistants are Audry Mormon, and Jack Janis- zewski, seniors. The desk is located on the second floor, north hall. It is open before 9:00 and many supplies are available there. TWO THANK YOU LETTERS RECEIVED During the summer Mrs. Mary O'Brien received two letters of ap- preciation for Red Cross work com- pleted at Woodward last year. In the letter received from the Newton D. Baker General Hospital at Martinsburg, West Virginia, the field director stated that five stands and chairs made by S. B. Crouse's boys prbved very useful. A thank you note was sent by the ward sister at Corbett Hospital in England for the children's Christmas boxes. She said the children were thrilled to open the parcels and their faces showed their sincere apprecia- tion. f I. Van Vranken Transferredg Room Changes Madeg 305 Music Room Transfers Room changes, hall duty, and trans- fers to other schools constitute the major difference in the school system this fall. , Van Vranken Mrs. Isla Van Vranken, who was in charge of the cooperative retail selling class last year is now teach- ing office practice at Macomber Vo- cational high school. Miss Grace Cutler is a teacher of mathematics in Robinson Junior high school. Mrs. Lucille Farrell is an English in- structor in Jones Junior high school. Both Mrs. Farrell and Miss Cutler were substitutes at Woodward last year. Room Changes Teachers affected by room changes are: Leo Robie, who is now in 125, Mrs. Eula Upp's former roomg Mrs. UDP, 11ow in room 3423 and James Pollock, whose classes are now being held in 254. Room 223, Mr. Pollock'S former room, is being used as a sophomore study hall. Since Edgar -Sorton will be here all day, 305 is now the official music room. Hall Duty Teachers on duty in the cafeteria and in the halls during lunch periods will be: Joy Mohrhardt, 0. M. Thompson, Howard Phipps, Mrs. Bianca Russell, and Mrs. Marie D. Ersig. Miss Hannah Shaw and Mrs. Van Vranken who were on hall duty last year are no longer serving. Assisting in the auditorium are Miss Dorothea Bishop, Miss Marjorie Hamilton, Miss Belle Joseph, and Mrs. Upp. Q English Teachers Divide Studies Into Semesters Freshmen and sophomore English teachers at a meeting last Tuesday in Mrs. Hazel McManamon's room de- cided that all freshmen and sopho- mores take grammar the first half of the year and literature the second semester. The grammar work will consist of o1'al and written composition includ- ing letter writing, vocabulary, gram- mar, spelling, and punctuation. Home assignments will include the reading of outside novels. These books will be circulated among the teachers for a period of two weeks. Mrs. Eva Leu Elected M1's. Eva Leu was unanimously elected Woodward's representative and reporter to the Toledo Teachers iilssociation at a meeting September This will be Mrs. Leu's fourth year as representative. THE WOODWARD TATTLER CALL ARMS And so we start another year. It's good to be back after a summei-'s loafing and working. First a cheery hello to all the Freshmen just enter- ing and who have yet to learn all the tricks and pranks of upper classmen. To everyone else-welcome back. Thereis a lot of news about Wood- ward boys in service so we'll get underway. it at ,F First we have news of Sidney Adams, last year's Call to Arms editor. Sid sent the staff a card when he was on leave recently from Great Lakes Naval Training Station. However we have no idea as to where he may be stationed now. Any in- formation as to his present where- abouts will bf greaatly ippreciated. Bits of news come drifting in from Norbert Zakolski, last -year's grad, every once in a while. Norb, a former Tattler Staff member is with a V-12 unit at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. He just might ap- preciate some mail so here's his ad- dress: Norbert Zakolski, AS V-12, Wharton Hall, Swartlnnore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. -if if :ii We hear that Bob Hunt is home after being wounded in the first in- vasion of France. Bob has been in the army a little over a year and is the recipient of the Purple Heart. FF IF The war was brought just a little closer to home recently when the sad and shocking news of the death of two former Woodward boys was received. Many students will remember Toufy Zurob and Ed Paradysz as just a couple of fun loving kids who roamed Wood- ward's halls not so very long ago. Toufy, a marine private was stationed Somewhere in the South Pacific where he met his untimely death during the month of July. Ed made the supreme sacrifice during the battle of Gluam where he too was serving as a marine private. To both Ed's and Toufy's par- ents we extend our deepest sym- pathy. ' 4: s U News of NVoodward faculty mem- bers in service: Lt. Cj.g.J Watson Welever is stationed in Panama at a Naval hospital there. By the way Mr. Welever became the proud papa of a baby girl last Friday.

WOODWARD SHOWS WELL IN PREMIERE A tough Polar Bear eleven gave proof to 10,000 football fans last Fri- day night at the Football Premiere that they would be no soft touch in the race for the city championship when they defeated the Scott agres- sion 133-7, and bowed stubbornly to a scrappy lvaite team 6-0 in an ab- breviated six minute contest. The Bears lost little time in scor- ing against the Bulldogs. Taking the kick-off on their own 31, Dick Aubry raced around his left wing and went 12 yards to the Woodward -43 Sonny Lentz then broke loose for the longest run of the evening when he found a large hole in Scott's left tackle and sprinted down the side lines for 57 yards and a touchdown. Lentz copped off his performance by splitting the uprights from placement for the extra point. The Bruins got their next six points almost as quickly. Bob Harri- son kicked to Scott's 27 where the free ball was recovered by an alert Bear. Two plays later Aubry and Paul Seymour carried the ball to the eleven where the latter went over for the score on a reverse. Lentz's kick for the point was low. Coach Smith inserted the second string at this point and Scott did likewise. Jim Reynolds provided Scott's only score after a Scott drive. Frank Troy added the point from placement. 5 In an abbreviated six minute game the Waite Indians, with the aid of Steve Contos, Kenny Timmons and fullback Ray Boothby, drove to the Woodward one yard line where the latter scored for the ga1ne's only touchdown. The Bears showed a stubborn defense and never had a chance to display their scoring power against the Indians. Leo Robie Appointed New Varsity Equipment Manager Mr. Robie Topping the list of changes in the varsity room is that of Leo Robie, who succeeds Joseph Deuce as equip- ment manager. Mr. Robie is a former Woodward baseball coach. Mr. Deuce resigned due to the press of business duties after school hours. Heading the student varsity man- agers is Archie Williams with Johnny Beno as his assistant. Taking over the duties of Don Koster, Bill Stew- art, and Howard Managhan, last year's football changes, are Joe Beuo, and Fred tdockeyl McComb. This squad with the aid of John Pul- hug, '43 grad, who helps at the games is expected to give efficient manag- ing service. The new boys took up their posi- tions three weeks prior to the foot- ball Premiere. Harriet McClure To Assist Catherine McClure In Gym To assist Miss Catherine McClure as girls' gym instructor is 5' 5 , brown haired, Mrs. Harriet McClure. As a graduate of Bowling Green University, Mrs. McClure majored in foreign languages and minored in physical education. Until she can locate a home in To- ledo for her four year old soi and husband, Mrs. McClure will c tinue to reside in Bowling Green. Swimming is tops in her field of sports, while experimenting with new recipes is Mrs. McClure's favorite home pastime. Figure this out if you can. Not only will Woodward girls be con- fused by the two McClure gym teachers, who are no relation, but the new instructor's husband is taking the place of Miss Catherine McClure's brother-in-law, Kenneth Holland, former teacher of music at Libbey High School. Remember girls, in the gym it is now Miss and Mrs. McClure. DOPE CORNER By FRANK SLOAN The season of hibernation is over and the seesaw of Woodward's foot- ball tilts upsydaisy again. The board of strategy has added a speck of T- formation to the traditional wing- back offense, and as Coach Art Smith marshals the pigskinners to the right tune, Woodward expects to knock the experts out of their pews. its lk wk Swivel-hips Charlie Lentz with his whip-lash passing arm, and un- canny shiftiness will certainly cast more light to the Blue and White. Frank Nowak, Bob Harrison, Joe Golden, and Dick Aubrey, the rest of the football clan, and the loyal student body, gives us the feeling that -- The tables are turning. Pk Bk Ik Coach Al Sacksteder has nailed to- gether an aggregation that looks or rather has looked to be a trifle flimsy. However, a little of hammer- ing and sawing, and certainly some new pieces of timber will bring forth a team that can win. BF Pk All Tonight, the Big 'Iwo-Central and Libbey-will furnish the headline- buster. Jerry Krall and Dick Jen- nings are the cowboys' hocus-pocus lads, while Dick Bayers and Art Bok are the Irish's pot-of-luck. Waite definitely won't bolster such a powerful team as last year, but it's said that they have the best backs. So with Coach Pauley giving the line a smite more seasoning, it may be Johnny, bar the door! ak lk lk The HOT BISCUIT-Jerry Krall, Libbey's powerful little giant. Down- right amazing is the play of Coach Bill Orwig's main bonanza baby. Jerry will get a great deal of osky- wow-wow glory in leading the Cow- boys to, from this side of the desk, the highsign as 1944's city champs. There's a lot of Woodward boys in service hiding away in the distant partsnof the world we don't know afwthlng about. Any addresses or bits of news about them can be used in this column. Drop any informa- tion you may have in the Tattler Box outside of Room 119. BEARS FACE TIGERS IN OPENING GAME .Woodward Shows Powerg Trying For First Victory Coach Smith The inaugural start of a nine game schedule for Art Smith's Woodward Polar Bears will be highlighted to- morrow night when the blue and white cladded gridders invade the West End Page Stadium to tackle the powerful DeVilbiss Tigers. Judging from the first showing of each team at the Premiere last week, neither squad can be doped as the favorites. However, the Tigers have a squad composed of 10 returning lettermen and a championship re- serve team to back them up. On the other hand the Bears cannot be underestimated as they have tive vet- erans who saw plenty of action last year. Teams Even Man to man the Bear eleven will match the West Enders in size and weight. Both backiields will also contain a vast amount of speed and drive. Spearheading the Woodward backfield will be Co-captain Dick Aubry, who showed some excellent running in the premiere, and tail back Sonny Lentz, who galloped 57 yards against Scott for a touchdown. Paul Seymour, one of the many new- comers this year, will add plenty of speed to the squad while quarterback Jack McGill fills out the fourth spot with his fine blocking performances. In the Tiger backfield will be Bob Nappenbaugh, star halfback from last vear heading the quartet, with Dick Stecker and Brian Ferris two new- comers, also expectiug to cause much trouble to the Polar Bears. DeVilbiss will have the edge in the replacement line with players brought up from the undefeated reserve squad. After a month of strenuous drill- ing and scrinnnages, each team will be in tip-top shape, raring to go at the kickoff. I Coach Art Smith has not yet an- nounced a starting lineup because of the tough competition being shown at all positions. During the last week several faults have been ironed out and the Bears will give their all. A capacity crowd is expected by both athletic directors so don't miss the opening kickoff at 8:15. We add to the rostrum of Wood- ward's heroes the name of Al Vertle- beck who is due to receive the Purple Heart. Al, an army sergeant, has been wounded in aftion twice. ' l' ik Reported missing in action but later found to be wounded was Johnny Callahan who is now sta- tioned at an army hospital in Eng- land. John was a varsity member crf last year's football team.

' lim I ,Zyl llllt ,170 Ill -L f 1, C. C. LaRue Woodwurd's men faculty members spent their war-time vacations busily engaged at war jobs in factories, in- structing at army air bases, driving ambulances, or as in Principal C. C. LaRue's case, tending a victory gar- den. Many worked six or seven days a week throughout the summer with little or no time off for pleasure. K ' At War Plants One of the many who worked in war plants was James Pollock who, while smiling patiently at his socio- logy students, stated that school teaching was much harder than work- ing in a machine shop. Others who may or not be of the same opinion are: Charles Staneart and Art Smith who were with the Spicer Companyg L. C. Clark and Floyd Lords, Chev- roletg Howard Phipps, Rossford Ordi- nance Depotg Edgar Sorton, Auto Liteg Paul Thomae, Packardg and William Rohr, who did post-war work for the Toledo Scale. . Supervisors Supervising recreation were Leo Robie and Homer Hanham. Mr. Robie was in charge of Physical education at Wilson Park while Mr. Hanham was director of Camp Big Silver. A group of Woodward boys worked under the direction of Clyde Meek at Forest Cemetery. Arnold Brown and R. K. Sheline instructed at the Willow Run Army Air Base. Joy Mohrhardt painted houses. Wilson Weis spent his sum- mer working at the Stokely Foods. A. R. Bitter taught at T. U. but to highlight his summer he got married. Besides teaching five classes of American Government in summer school, Clyde VanTassel worked in his garden and took care of his pony, which was born on D-day. Joe Dence kept busy by managing his surgical appliance store and driving an ambu- lance. Another gardner, who admitted he farmed like most city farmers do, was S. B. Crouse. Band Members Increaseg . Orchestra Number Drops Every musical organization in Woodward, except the orchestra, has increased its enrollment to top last year's. The band members total 45, the chorus has 95, and the beginners' band has a total of 25. There are 9 enrolled in the orchestra. Despite an appeal by Edgar Sorton, Woodward's musical advisor, there still .remain but three students in the special string class. Carl Kosakowski, Sect. S75 Bks, LR S-SC USNTC, Great Lakes, Ill.

Be Wise Buy War Stamps Now that the excitement of the first few days of school has subsided, the Student Council urges that we turn our attention to the purchase of war stamps and bonds. We are all aware of the indescribable dangers confronting our men in combat, men who are sacrificing their lives, that we may continue to have freedom of education. It is for us, then, who enjoy this privilege, to keep buying the stamps and bonds to provide the war materials so that our dreams of victory may be realized. In recent years, we have established remark- able records in our purchase of bonds and stamps, a record we can all be proud of. This year, we should try to equal or surpass these previous records. . ' Let's make it a habit to buy bonds and stamps always. i.i.1-ll Take It Easy- Ifm Your Pal Kids! Kids! How could you throw me to a friend across the room? Lose me for months in a.n old locker, drop me in the rain and let all my colors leave me. Draw on me, and tear my insides out. Please! don't do this, instead help save me. Who am I? A school book of yours. Lunch Behaviour ' Of Frosh Praised Each year as a new school term begins, we are faced with the problem of the lunch hours. It is highly important that we keep the sur- roundings in which we eat as clean and pleasant as possible, and yet many must be reminded con- stantly of this. For several years now we have tried various systems which have helped in bringing about orde1'. It seems we have the problem licked. Principal La Rue, when speaking to the fresh-- men praised their fine behaviour in this matter. It seems its not always the frosh who are re- sponsible for the colnmotions staged during the lunch hours. Surely with full hearted co-opera- tion from all we can set a fine exampleof how a-school lunch system should be conducted. Cheer At Games: Support The Team School has started and so has football. This season let's get behind the team and support it to the limit. The Polar Bears really look like a team this year, but a team is only one-half without the support of the students. Help the cheerleaders out as well as the team. Don't just yell at the mass meetings. Cheer at the games where it's really needed. Help the team come out on top. Keep up the school spirit!

Advice To Freshmen Just to make the first year students feel better we think it is appropriate at this moment to inform them that most of our senior boys are also classified as fresh -men! And you know, greenies , it isn't necessary to dash through the halls-you can catch the girls for boysl at a slow trot. And by all means don't buy any tickets for the fourth floor elevator-it's out of order! Important!!! Don't try to bribe the hall guards-unless you can afford it! Don't get so excited at football games The fellow in front of you may not be used to such punishment. Re- member this advice, freshmen, and you may finish high school-in five or ten years.

POLAR BEARS VICTORIOUS OVER TIGERS FOR FIRST TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY Co-Captain Aubry, C. Lentz, B. Harrison, P. seymom- Chalk Up Touchdowns For Bearsg , Haynes Outstanding p . til-T11 1 Inexperience proved a fluke factor in the -27-G shellacking handed.the DeVilbiss Tigers Saturday night at Page Stadium, when the Bears garnered its first win over the Tigers since the two schools engaged in football com- petitiori eleven years ago. Tigers Score ' Johnny Stecker, fleet Tiger quarterback, woke up, the Woodward of- fensive early in the first quarter after a 47-yard march to the Bears' goal line. Stecker, scored on an off-tackle play thru the heart of the Woodward forward wall. This was Scotty Florence's boys first and only touchdown Later in the same 'period Howard Haynes recovered a fumble on the DeVilbiss 26 and the North End Steamroller started rolling. The Polar Bears contin- ually ripped huge openings in the Bengals' forward wall and virtually ran the enemy secondary ragged on end runs. Sonny Lentz, making his initial appearance of the season in the driver seat of the Bears' Model T , spurred the Woodward touchdown drive to the DeVilbiss five-yard line where Co-Captain Dick Aubry plunged thru center to score. Lentz Passes Jim Babcock and Howard Haynes tackled Brian Ferris with such force in the second quarter that the Tiger tail-back fumbled the ball. Haynes immediately recovered. This paved way for the Streicher Streeters' aerial attack which opened up on the next play. Sunny Lentz pitched a 40-yard strike to Paul Seymour, standing on the DeVilbiss five-yard line, who went over for the second blue and white T.D. . Lentz added the extra point. Coach Art Smith led his victorious team off the field at the half time with the score standing 13-6. The last half began with the West Enders featuring a running, kicking and passing attack which ended on the North Enders' 34-yard line. After running off a succession of T formation plays and still finding the Tiger line somewhat more formidible, the Bears resorted to punting. Lentz got off one of the most beautiful kicks of the evening, a 70-yard spiral which Nappenbaugh received on his own 15-yard line. An exchange of punts followed. Nappenbaugh attempted a forward pass to Carl Hibscher, Tiger captain, on the DeVilbiss 15, which was inter- cepted by Bob Harrison, Bear pivot man, who ran wide on a 68-yard end sweep for a touchdown. The Polars' center ran behind perfect blocking by Joe Golden, Harold Vergiels and Dick Wojciechowski who went all the way as interference. Lentz split the uprights from placement. DeVilbiss Desperate The final period found the Orange and Black completely bewildered and at odd's end for a desperate scoring chance. Lentz zoomed 'out of a clear sky to snag a Stecker to Todd pass and swivel-hipped his way thru the entire Upton Avenue opposition and raced 52 yards for the finishing score of the game. So complete was the Woodward victory that Coach Smith unleashed his substitutes in order to test his reserve strength. The final play found Carl Duhart and Chuck Allen teaming to smear Brian Ferris' last futile attempt to score for the Tigers. The battle ended as the story read 27-6, a Woodward victory. Bert Johnson, Joe Golden, and Jack McGill turned in accountable per- formances. The latter, McGill, did a stellar job of pigskin lugging through- out the game and was a bear on offense. Others of note who gave good accounts of themselves were Dick Czerwinski, Jack Miles, Co-captain Frank Nowak, Frank Nastrempski, and Joe Frankowski. No serious injuries were sustained although Nowak and Bill Harris, lineman, were first half casualties. Frank received a twisted knee and Bill suffered a closed eye, nose trouble, and a severe headache. Essick Leads Cheerleaders The Woodward cheerleading staff is headed this year by Harlan Ray, Clarence Schiifler, Norman Lee, and Sylvan Essick, captain. These boys led the student body in yells at the Premiere in spite of not having practiced together for three months. Today during the as- sembly sponsored by the Tattler freshmen had the opportunity to participate with the rest of the stu- dent body in Woodward chee1's. Adviser to this group is Mrs. Eula Upp. A New Line Coach Appointed Grooming the Bears for football is quite an extensive and exhausting job, impossible for one man, so assisting Coach Smith is Benney Bugajewski, line coach. Benny, a former all-city full back, graduated from Woobward in 1930 and then went to Michigan State Normal, where he furthered his football career. Mrs. Upp Honors 'Beam Woodward's champion basketball team, along with their coach, Homer Hanham and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Weis, and the cheerleaders were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Upp at a corn roast held last Sunday at Ottawa Park. The corn, which was roasted in ex- cellent style by the men, came from Mr. and Mrs. Upp's small farm just outside of Toledo. Chilled water- melon was also served, another, home- grown product. John Payak and Jim Knierim, now enrolled at Bowling Green State Uni- versity, were able to attend. ' Paul Park and Al Whitney were seen about town recently. Both the boys were on leave from the Great Lakes Training Station. We would appreciate more news of them. Attend Game Tonite BEARS MEET ,WAITEg ' TRY FOR SECOND VVIN Woodward Eleven Bolstered By Many Capable ' Reserves After turning the tables on a hap- less DeVilbiss squad 2716 last Satur- day night, Woodward's gallant Polar Bears, will be out to make it two in a row tonight when they engage C'oach.Jack M,ollenkopf's Waite In- dians in the east side stadium. Getting od' to such a good start this season gives the Bears an ex- cellent opportunity to carry on their hopes, asthey finally found a click- inglcombination, which showed well against the Tigers. Tonight when the Polar Bear grid- ders take the field they will be facing a more experienced Indian team and have to depend more or less on their speed and deceptiveness. ' Triple threat back, Charlie Lentz, who sparked the Bears to their in- itial victory, is expected to raise quite a rumpus with the East Siders. Lentz, besides being one of the most ac- curate passers in the city, can punt and is a brilliant broken field runner. Also Co-capt. Dick Aubry can usually be depended on to bring a first down when the extra yardage is needed. Dick has plenty of drive and is a deadly tackler. Bolstering the Waite squad is Cap- tain and, fullback Ray Boothly, the speediest backiield man in the city. Teaming with Boothby are Kenny Timmons, Bill Gregus, and Steve Contos, all experienced players from last year. On the forward wall, the Indians have Clint Knitz, rugged center, who is a blockbuster when it comes to backing up the line. Other returning veterans are Loper at guard, and -Norton on the left end. Coach Art Smith also discovered that he has several capable replace- ments on the squad and will un: doubtedly use them to a good advan- tage against the Purple and Gold. They are Johnson and Trzemski, guards, Wojciechowski and Miles, tackles, and tailback Don Foore.

Hayward Johnson Speaks To Students In Auditorium During a double assembly Thnrsday September 21, Mr. Hayward Johnson spoke to students of Woodward on the theme How important is 2-5 of a sec- ond. He stressed to the students the importance of keeping liquor out of our habits, for it is a menace to people at- tempting to drive after drinking. In medical tests it was proven that a sober person could actually put on the brakes of a car in 1-5 of a second. To this same group of people was given a bottle of beer each and after a period of 15 minutes to four hours their abilty was tested again. This time it took the victims 3-5 of a second to apply the brakes, which is 2-5 of a second more. Mr. Johnson urged all the students to attend a special reenactment ofa true life drama of an accident which actually took place in Cleveland, Ohio. The performance will be held in St. Pauls Methodist Church, Sunday,Sep- ternber 24, at 7:30 P.M. Another defense job was held by Paul Thomas who worked at the Packard Motor Company making super chargers for airplanes. Em- ployed at the same factory were Lily Schulter and Marilyn Schoon- maker Ryan, both former members of the Tattler staff. CALL ARMS Oberlin College claims the pres- ence of Don Weber who is stationed with a V-12 unit there.

Yes, you, like every other boy and girl would object immensely and much confusion would follow. Why is this being discussed? Your answer can be found by witnessing the rowdyism that is carried on in the downtown district after each game. Attention has been brought to school officials concerning such riout- ous conduct as destroying property, delaying traffic, engaging in fights, and starting fires. .If this cannot be remedied soon without any great disturbance drastic measures will be taken resulting in probable arrest or in the discontinua- tion of games. Remember, if our night grid games are to continue, let's all cooperate in trying to solve this problem in a proper manner. Tonight is an oppor- tune time to begin, victorious or de- feated, remember your cconductl , Faculty To Send Gifts Miss Betty Nelson, chairman of the committee selected to send Christmas gifts to the faculty now in service, chose Miss Dorothy Warner, Miss Bertha Vermilya, Joy.Mohrhardt, and Floyd Lords to assist.

Captain's Comment With people staying home these'days as a result of war-time conditions, more time can be devoted to reading and consequently this should boost the sale of magazine subscriptions, stated Mr. Lords. Commenting as to the outcome of her team, Miss Kerlin states, We're going to make up for our defeat of last year and I'm ,positive the school-can exceed last year's record. .

HEADS CONSIDER CHANGE IN PROGRAM Radio department heads in the Tole- do high schools met last Friday at the Board of Education to consider change in the activities of the radio groups. The time of the High School Forum which last year was presented on Fri- day nights has been changed to Tues- day afternoon from 2:30 to'3:00. The pro- grams will be broadcast from there- spective high school auditoriums. Members of the student body will act as participants in the discussions. Prior to this year, the broadcasts were held in Macomber high school auditori- um. Station WTOL will record each forum program and will rebroadcast it in the evening. Wiring for the afternoon ses- sions in the audito ium will be set up by the WTOL engineering staff. Another change adopted is the dis- continuation ofthe fairy tales presented last year. Instead, adaptations of stor- ies correlatatlng with the social studies in the elementry department will be given. Broadcast time for these presentations will be Thursday after- noons at 2:30. Miss Helen Marie Griffin, head of Woodward's radio department was pre- sent at Friday's meeting. P. Henry Chooses Drafting And Mechanics For Future On New Year's Eve, way back in 1928, Patty Henry entered this world at midnight to help out with the noise making. ' Patty is majoring in drafting and auto mechanics. She gave up a very good job at Lee Motors Sales, where she was doing reconditioning work, to come back to school and get an education. Being the only girl in mechanics and drafting, she has had to do some talking to get Mr. Rohr to accept her in an all boy class. Mr. Nuber stated: f'She's going to make a darn good mechanic. When asked how she feels to be in a class consisting of all boys, this brown-haired soph, laughed and said, Well, I have the one I want, so the fellows don't bother me a bit. Her one and only is Roy Smith from Male High School in Louisville, Kentucky. Pat intends to finish high school and go on working along the line of mechanics. Home Rooms To Fill Boxes For 40 Refugee Children Forty Christmas boxes for refugee children will be nlled by Woodward's Junior Red Cross, instead of the ori- ginal 50 that were sent. Due to the paper shortage, this year Toledo re- ceived only 800 boxes compared to last year's 1000. Soap, combs, make-up, toys, and other small, useful items, providing they are not perishable or breakable, can be used to pack the boxes. The following home rooms have asked for boxes: Miss Anne Wetter- man, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, Mrs. Hazel McManamon, and Mrs. Marie Ersig. There were a few boxes left on Wednesday when Mrs. Mary O'Brien, Red Cross advisor, was in- terviewed. . An additional project is the making of two center pieces by Miss Grace Cronk and Mrs. O'Brien for an Ohio .Parent-Teacher meeting in October. 2 THE WOODWARD TATTLER THE WUUIJWARD TATTLER Published and Printed Every School Week .by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

Mrs. Marie Ersig, Hugh Montgomery Make Stadium Dream A Reality O DOUBT, by this time, all of us are aware of the forth-coming magazine campaign---am other step toward our goal of a postwar stadium. Everyone of us dreams ofthe day when he will be able to point with pride to a beautiful stadium of our own. Profits derived from this drive will be placed in the stadium fund which was begun last year at the termination of the magazine campaign. With thoughts of the promised stadium as an in- spiration, it is up to each of us to help make this drive the most tremendous success of any cam- paigns yet conducted. The more subscriptions we sell, so much more will our dream be realized. And what a wonderful feeling it 'll be to know that each of us has contributed awdhare toward laying the foundation for our stadium! Let us all shoulder the task of leading this mag- azine campaign to a victorious conclusion. Don't Write On Your Locker OU wouldn't write all over your own front door at home, so why act any differently at school? Lockers are loaned to you for your use and not to be marked on. Marred lockers give a messy ap- pearance to our halls. If you have anything written on your locker, wash it oh' before having to be told. Help give Woodwarda clean appearance. Save Time: Have Correct Change IME is precious. Our lunch periods are limited. This is why everyone is asked tn have the cor- ' rect change when buying his lunch, attending a school movie, buying tickets, or the Tattler. If you do not have the correct change, it is always obtainable before school at the booth across from the ofhce. - So save the little time we all have by being accur- ate with your change. Start now and keep it up throughout the year. Cos operate and you will have co-operation.

THE WOODWARD TA'I'I'LER l' S R I S BULLDOGS TONIGHT Tim. I X . J J u WAITE VICTORIOUS OVER BEARSg 41-0 Indians Capitalize On Breaks For First Victoryg Gregus Hero Recovering a fumble on the first play of the ball game put the pow- wow in the Waite Indians as they put their wits together and severely thrashed the frozen Woodward Polar Bears, 41-0. Over 7000 spectators were amazed at the speed and power of the Purple and Gold as they piled up touchdown after touchdown, and when the con- test was finished Waite had won an- other city league track meet. First Touchdown lt only took about 10 plays for the East Siders to make up their first six points. A series of line plays took the ball to the one-yard line and Captain Ray Boothby bull-ed through the center of the line for the score. The touchdowns then came so fast that the spectators couldn't make out the hero. Waite's quarterback, Don Stewart, scored the second one on a 25 yard run that caught the Polar Bear secondary napping. In the second quarter Waite again held the offense and Fullback Bill Gregus swept through tackle for his first score. He scored again in the opening minutes of the third frame on another plunge from the seven yard. Besides scoring two touch- downs, Gregus added three more marks to his total by plunging for the -extra points. Woodward Outplayed Woodward was comparatively out- played, and also handicapped by a new defense, which had been set up several days before game time. The East Siders gain-ed a total of 312 yards from scrimmage to the Bears' 67, and held the edge in first downs, 14 to 5. Coach Art Smith sent in the sec- ond team midway in the final canto, and they held their own against the opponents. Before the gun had halted the game, the Bears had driven to the four yard line after taking the ball from their own 35. At the half time the capacity crowd witnessed the rededication of the Waite bowl and it was rededicated the Indian way. Scoring: Cross Country Prepares To Enter District Meet In preparation for the District Meet scheduled for October 28, at Ottawa park the Woodward Cross Country team under Ted Gernhauser has begun to make practice runs. On Wednesday during the month of October the re- spective teams of all the city schools meet at Ottawa Park for practices.

SMITTY'S GRIDDERS CONFESS SECRETS3 X DICK, FISHERMANg FRANK, WOMAN KILLER lx Dick Aubry On July 19, 1927, at 3307 Jeanette Street a future star of a Woodward backfield first saw the light of dawn. The house has never been the same. KGITIS, please note the addressl. As Richard Dick Aubry was anxious L?l to return to his cooking class, we had to cut this interview to 2,000 words. QDon't count 'em suckerl. Dick, a senior this year, has light brown hair, stands five feet, seven inches, has hazel eyes, and a voice that is a combination ofCrosby and Sinatra. In fact, when he calls signals,thewho1e team swoons. Richard entered Woodward in 1941 and after playing on the freshmen squad his first year, he did the same, thing Frank Nowak did, jumped to the varsity eleven his Sophomore year. He, along with Nowak, played first string his Junior year. It is only nat- ural that the two should act as co-cap- tains their senior year. Dick also plays on the varaity football five. Dick has no women - - declaring he doesn't like 'em. Well, that's what he says. Fishing tops his hobbies. On ask- ing what he fishes for he answered pquotej Fishes. Cooking rates tops with him and Miss Angela Abair and S. B. Crouse are his favorite instructors. Ice cram satisfies his sweet tooth. Mr. Aubry is confident we'll beat Scott and sees no reason why we can't finish in second place. He believes Waite has the best team in the city. Dick can usually be seen with Jack foh you kid! Miles and Chuck McNett. By the way, before I forget girls, POA476 will get a certain party for you. Frank Nowak Destined to captain the 1944 Wood- ward football eleven, Frank entered St. Adalbert's where he got his start in the game when he played for the school's six man team. He also played basketball while there. How he managed to play and do his homework is beyond us! Guess he devoted most of his time to his studies. Frank entered Woodward in the year 1941, the same year there was a notice- able increase in the number of girls enrolled. He played tackel his freshman year and in his sophomore year he made the big jump to the varsity team, the same team that defeated Wait, 6-0 Playing first string his junior year he was chosen co-captain along with Dick Aubry of this years' victorious aggre- gations. Frank stands an even six feet and tips the scale at 185 pounds. He has black, wavy hair and deep brown eyes but nnfortunately he has no telephone. However the picture brightens as he resides at 429 Weber Street. Mr. Weiss and his advanced book- keeping class top his favorites. Inci- dentally he is the only boy in that class of fourteen. He predicts a Woodward victory over Scott and commenting on the DeVil4 biss game he states he expected a win but he didn't think the score would be so high. Frank believes Central has the strongest team in the league but rates the Bears high and wouldn't be surprised if we won the championship as he considers Coach Smith the best! He is usually seen escorting Alice Respond around the first floor. I Dora CORNER l Jim Nelson It just wasn't in the books . . . Waite definitely overpowered the Polar Bears last Friday night, and naturally, the only positive descrip- tion of the Indian's victory is- Decisive! !!! vis Ph Pls Tonight's battle is expected to be a fight to the final bang with the Bulldogs and Bears pulling more up- sets and surprises than an amateur skating party. S IR 3 Bill Gregus, sophomore half-rack sensation of the Waite Indians' of-- fensive, really helped Capt. Ray Boothby open the Redskins' bag of tricks Friday, as the Indians pulled every imaginable play from the Statue of Liberty to the fake re- verse , with Contos plunging, sweep- ing, and raising all. around heck with the Bears' defense to upset the Streicher Street apple-cart in the lap of some 7000 fans. Injured Department: Jim Conley and Joe Golden were the only casual- ties enierging from the Waite mas- sacre. Bob Harrison received a slight knee injury. Just to show that he was good- natured, .Jack Mollenkopf, Waite qpach, sent in his second and third teams in the last cjkuarlter of the fray. Polar Bear co-captain Dick Aubry seemed to be the only Woodwardite to gain yardage through the East Side forward walk 1 Central virtually has another Keefe in Dick Bayers, junior wing- back, who has been causing much trouble to would-he tacklers. Tonight under the arc lights of the Western Avenue stadium two power laden teams will clash in an expected battle royale. They are the Fighting Irish from Central, and the Libbey Cowboys. Both squads have the nine- ups filled with many returning veter- ans, and it will be a battle of wits between the two quarterbacks, Juhasz, of the Irish, and Sarchiz of the Cowboys. As to the favorites-a tossup. :li :li PR Coach Al Sacksteder's Scott team has shown a marked improvement in the past week by holding Libbey to a 20-0 victory. The Scott line played heads up ball and deserve much credit for their line showing against the ex- perienced Libbey gridders. Pk PF PF Art Bok, Central fullback, seemed to be the big hero last Friday night when he scored three touchdowns against the DeViIbiss Tigers. 31 PF PK Toledo football fans seem to be getting well acquainted with a new formation. Practically everv team in the city has now been using the Notre Dame T formation. at SF Ili The DeVilbiss Tigers seem to be running in bad luck this season. Coach Scotty Florence and his team will be out for their first win, 'when they meet a favored Waite eleven tomorrow night. Anchors Aweigh To Be Specialty For Scott Game During the half at the Scott game Friday night, the band will give a per- formance for the Scott and Woodward ans. The band will play Anchors Aweigh while the majorettes do a specialty dance. The band will form an S after the performance. Edgar Sorton is the advisor of the band. . ll OODWARD FACES Polai Bears Ale IHIVOIIIQBS Ovei Satkstedei s Glldde1S Art Smith Pilot Art Slllll3ll,S Polar Bear eleven will be out seeking their secs ond win as against the one defeat of last week, tonight. The opposition will be afforded by a fast improving Scott squad. The Bulldogs' forward wall is massive protection for their versa- tile secondary. Dick Ligibel, 195 pound tackle, is an extra advantage to the Collingwood avenue outfit. The remainder of the line is divided between Walt Gunlite and Ed Knecht, ends, Ligibel and Rube Bracy, tackles, Leonard Borman and Phil Cochran, guards, and Bill Franklin, rugged center and captain of the crew. .Coach Al Sacksteder has improved his team a great deal since the fate- ful night of the premiere. Saxy will .undoubtedly depend upon the brains, Bob Robison, hefty quarter- back, Bill Black and Sherry Webb, halfbacks with tailback Bernard Lutz filling the safety position. Strong Reserves The lvlaroon and White also fea- tures a host of reserve backs in Vernell Allen. Leon Troy and Herb Wright offer a tough proposition to the Bears' title chances. Coach Smith undoubtedly gruelling the Blue and White gridders for to- night's battle is after a real Wood- ward victory. The Bears, at full strength and going strong after last week's severe setback from which they have fully r-ecuperated, will be out to win. In view of the North Enders size, weight, and experience advantage, we of the desk, give a slight nod to the Polar Bears. However, win, lose, or tie, be on hand for the game at 8:15 p. m., tonight.

A Bessie Papps W' 'H Somewhere in France a new vic- tory song, Liberty, The Yanks Will Bring, is being played for American soldiers. I It is a proud and happy Bessie Papps, senior here at Woodward, who is displaying a slightly worn 'en- velope with the return address Su- preme Headquarters, Allied Expedi- tionary Forces, Office of the Supreme Commander. It is even a prouder Bessie who can show you the signa- ture of General Dwight D. Eisen- hower, who wrote and thanked her for the song she had written' and then had sent to him. This was done after failure to obtain advice about writing the harmony and its publish- ing hene in Toledo. Finally after having revised it, her mother sug- gested she send it to Eisenhower. She lists English and history as her favorite subjects this year, and as you may w-all have guessed, music is her greatest interest and she has already written seven melodies since she started to write music back in the seventh and eighth grades. After graduation she plans to attend the university where she will take up music as one of her electives. Active in Red Cross work during the past thnee years, she was elected city-wide Junior Red Cross president last spring. Previously, she was president of the Woodward Red Cross Chapter. 1 As part of her job as city presl- dent, Bessie holds regular meetings of all high school and junior high school Red Cross units.

Group L1-ave:-z Saturday Leaving the YMCA Saturday morning at eight o'clock, the group from Toledo and surrounding schools reached their destination at 10:00 a.m. After opening camp, registration followed and at eleven cfclock Rev. William Steilens uf Toledo spoke on Religion at Work. Discussion Groups After the put-luck the entire group assembled at Drake Lodge, recrea- tion hall, wh-ere they were divided into smaller discussion groups. Bar- riers between students and teachers, Fraternities and cliqucs, Assembly conduct, Recreational use of school buildings, Conduct at the can- teen, Teacher coop-eration in stu- dent activitiesf' and Gambling in the School were the topics discussed concerning hot spots in high school life. Following an afternoon of recrea- tional activity, dinner was served, after which, a mixer was held to help members from the different schools to get acquainted. On Sunday morning the discussion groups were continued and Ted Meyer from the Cleveland YMCA held a chapel service. The,remain- ing afternoon was spent entirely in recreation and leaving camp about three o'clock that afternoon, the group arrived in Toledo at five. Ernie Klipfel is president and Mrs. Upp is advisor of the Hi-Y. What Makes u Delinquent Juve- nile was the topic chosen by Dr. Plant for the opening speech at the juvenile delinquency conference, which was held at Macoulber, Thurs- day, September 28. Dr. Plant stressed several points whereby the delinquent could be benefited. Among them were th-e following: 1. Don't ask the delinquent why he has done wrong because he dOESl1't know. 2. In helping a person, we must meet him as an individual, not an expert. 3. Encourage the person to use his own power, to help himself. Do not destroy his faith in himself. 4. Everyone wants to be original. 5. To help zu. person, one must live and grow with him to understand his problem. Panel Discussions At 10:30, the students, school prin- cipal, and social workers divided into their respective groups, each group retiring to a separate room. Elected as chairman of the panel discussion was Richard Joseph, Woodward Stu- dent Council member. Two promi- nent questions, their causes and solu- tions, were discussed: How Can Young People H-elp Each Other? and What is the Student's Responsi- bility fnr the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency in Toledo? However, no definite solutions were reached. In another room, the social work- ers studied an effective means of law enforcement. The meeting adjourned for lunch at 12:30. At 1:45, a pan-el of experts re- ported juvenilev delinquency cases which they had handled. Woodward's representatives at the conference included several members at the Student Council, Miss Doro- thea Bishop, and C. C. LaRue.

Although it will all be througli free contribution, he Stated that if each person gave ten cents on each of the three days, the goal would be reached. Mrs. Eva Leu, last year's building representative will again hold the position for this campaign. 'Teachers are to give their free contributions to her as will also the office force, custodians, and cafeteria workers. This year's chest drive is titled The Greater Community War Chest campaign.

' Let's make certain that only efficient and depend- able WORKERS are elected by voting for the best candidates, not your best friends. When you cast your votes, remember, we need representatives and cabinets with plenty of pep and ambition. A Fire Prevention Week Draws Near NCE again Fire Prevention Week draws near- This year the drive will be observed from October 8-14. One week is set aside each year, to recall to our minds the many things we can do to keep prevent- ing these destructive, and death- taking fires. Dur- ing this time there will be posters, pamphlets, and movies for all to see. Fire drills will also be held here at school. Let's try to do our bit in this prevention drive. Be careful in everything you do concerning fire. Game Behaviour Decided Improvement OOTBALL games will not be suspended. Stu- dents may continue going downtown following games. These two statements will be the result of conduct such as the conduct displayed following last Friday's games. Pupils of Scott, Libbey, DeVil biss, Central, Waite, and Woodward must be com- mened on their behavior after the weekend games.

Crane who A 3.-J iii ! lun ,I ill V I writes a daily article had this to say about secur- ing a high school diploma. lt is taken from one of his case records and I quote him verbatim. Arlene W. 17 is a junior in high school. She writes as follows: 'Many of my classmates are quitting school either to get into military seri ice ofsome sort or take a job in a war plant. They are making high wages, too, so I should like to drop school and do the same thing. My parents tell me not to do so, and we have argued so much we have finally come to you to settle the debate'.' In order to save space I am omitting a part of Dr. Crane's reply, but I quote the pertinent part- of it. Learn to look ahead. After this war, we should have a period of business prosperity, but the employers will be far more choosey in select ing workers ...... When Arlene asks for a job a few years hence, one of the first things asked will be 'Did you graduate from high school? When and Where?' If Arlene says she did not graduate, then she will usually be told: 'We're sorry but only high school graduates are considered for jobs'. In substance Dr. Crane continues that it will do no good to argue that you know as much or more than the high school graduate. If there are 100 applicants for a job and eighty are high school graduates, the employer will use that fact to eliminate the twenty non-graduates without tak- ing up more of his time. Quoting again, A high school diploma in the next decade will be almost essential for any good job. Be sure you get yours now! Your parents are paying taxes so you will receive this education from the state, so get your money's worth. I have read this entire article to severalboys and girls confronted with the identical problem. Since it does notcome from their parents or a school person they all have listened to it with a great deal of re- spect. I do not need to add anything further. Charles C. LaRue.

The Maroon and White scores came on long passes with touchdown drives beginning deep in their own territory. The battle began in a kicking duel with the uptown boys featuring a spot pass which started a long goal-line march to the Woodward 38 where Bob Robison tossed a strike to Wall Gunlite lying in the Bear end zone for the initial score. Robison con- verted. The lone Blue and White score came on a 24 yard end run by Sunny Lentz from the Scott 26 in the second period. Robinson Stars From then on it was all Scott. Allen scored from the 13 yard on a broken field run exhibition. Robinson converted. Robinson crashed over from the two yard line and scored another one after the half tie. The Scott stands went berserklll Dick Aubry was penalized and ousted from the game after clipping Robison. Sexy sent in his second stringers to finish the game. Outstanding for Scott were Dick Ligibel, Leon Troy, Velnell Allen, Sharry Webb, Bernard Lutz, and Bob Robison. For the Bears it was Nowak, Haynes, Lentz, Aubry, and Frankow- ski. Standings: L. W.

The death was caused by a cere- bral hemorrhage last Sunday in To- ledo Hospital about 6 P.M. After complaining about having headaches in the Woodward game, Walt received treatment from the school physician and was later told that he could participate in the Cen- tral tilt the following week. He was removed from that game in the third quarter when he seemed to be dazed. On the following Thursday, he was removed to Toledo Hospital, and after a rather large meal Sunday afternoon, tragedy struck. Walt had bee11 a stellar athlete on the football team for two years, and also played o11 the reserve basketball squad. The Tattler staff, on behalf of the Woodward students, wish to express their deepest sympathy to the Aben- zeller family. LIBBEY CO-CAPTAINS REVEAL SECRETS T0 THE ROVING TATTLER REPORTERS By JACKIE WUJCIAK JERRY KRALL Following i11 the footsteps of his three brothers who made football history, Gerald Stanley Krall is up- holding the family name very ably as half back for Libbey's team. This fivelfoot-ten, 175-pound rugged char- acter has played on the varsity for three years, is co-captain of the team, and is the big gun for Libbey's driv- ing offense. After graduating, Krall who is only 17, plans to go to college to train for a physical education teacher. At the present, three colleges hold his in- terest, Southern California, Stanford, and Ohio State. Football will be the deciding factor in determining where he will go. Bill Orwig's pride and joy was em- ployed by the city this summer as a tree surgeon. His main duty was to keep the city beautiful by trinnning the trees. l The Quill and Dagger Literary So- ciety takes up some of his leisure for Mr. Krall is interested in the finer things in life, too. Speaking of the finer things, Jerrywould not admit any heart interest but your reporter noticed the absence of his school ring which rumor has placed on Marion Hoovcr's finger. Beneath his sturdy exterior reposes a sentimental heart. This seventeen-year-old wonder boy is a modest, quiet, shy, person who would not venture any predictions on tomorrow night's game but one look at his well-proportioned physique will warn any one who is in his way to scoot but fast. Undaunted by failure to reach these football players the first time, this determined reporter made a second trip to Libbey, after seeing them it was worth it! P.S. Besides having good looking players, Libbey should be proud of its handsome coach, Bill Orwig, who fulfills any girl's dream. By SABINA SLICHCINSKI TONY MOMSEN Interviewing football players is something new to me, and when I was asked to take the assignment I gulped, faltered, and stammered. Gosh! bashful me going to Libbey and interviewing one of the co- captains. But of course, it isn't every- day one gets an opportunity like this, so I nodded and accepted. My first attempt was unsucessful for the players had been sent home that day to rest for the game in the evening. Bright and early Monday morning I started out once more with my partner, Jackie, on one arm and a letter of introduction in the other hand. The office girl summoned the boys from their class. Never having the opportunity of meeting Tony Momsen before, -I hardly knew what to expect, but one look at this six foot-one inch hunk of definitely handsome man proved not to be a disappointment. fAt this point I de- cided interviewing was my life's am- bitionj. Tony shares the captaincy with Jerry Krall and plays center position on the Libbey team. This versatile lad has brown hair, blue eyes and weighs 190 pounds. He has been with the varsity squad for two years, but football is not his only sport interest for he plays guard on the varsity basketball squad and is associated with the track team. Tony was born January 29, 1928, and when questioned about future plans, he wasn't sure. He is a mem- ber of the Quill and Dagger Society and the Hi-Y. Spaghetti tops his list of favorite foods. We will be out to win tonight and you can be sure we'll play as hard as in the Central game was Tony's comment about the game tonight and he praised Bob Harrison as a good defensive center and Charlie Lentz as a good runner. All in all it was fun knowing and interviewing Tony Mom- sen. Recordg Bears Hope For Upset Tomorrow night when Woodward's Polar Bears journey to the cross town Libbey stadium, they will be facing one of the many unbeaten teams in the State of Ohio, when they clash with the South End gridders of Lib- bey, High. Practically every team in the city has tasted defeat from the powerful Cowboys and Woodward would look pretty sitting with a feather in its cap, if the Bears could topple Libbey from the undefeated ranks. With only one victory to its credit, that being in the opening game, Wood- ward hasn't fully recuperated from the Waite defeat yet and hasn't been playing up to par, but tomorrow night the 'Bears might pull a few strings out of the bag and come up with a victory. Passing Attack Planned Coach Art Smith has been working earnestly with his squad the past few days, polishing up the blocking duties, and doping out a new aerial attack, that can be used to a good advantage against Libbey. Smith has been build- ing his passing attack around triple threat back Charlie Lentz., Several changes have been made at the guard position, since the Bears lost Bud Vergiels, who is now playing at Waite. Co-captain Frank Nowak has been shifted from the 'left tackle spot filling the vacancy left by Ver- giels, but is having some stiff com- petition from Dick Czerwinski, Bill Spath, and Bill Harris. Cal DuHart, second team fullback, has been shifted to the right end, because of his size, speed, and weight. - Cowboys Strong Getting over to the Libbey side, Coach Orwig has a fine backtield in Jerry Krall, Dick Jennings, Johnny Sarchiz, and Mel Breitner. Krall and Jennings are two excellent runners, with Sarchiz being one of the top notch passers in the city. He can also get the Cowboys out of their own territory with his brilliant kicking, but will have to go some to outkick Lentz. On the forward wall the South Enders have dynamic center, Tony Momsen, and end, Don McNeil, both returning veterans, along with a host of other experienced linemen. As to the outcome of the game no- body knows, but the Cowboys are heartily favored. If the Polar Bears manage to capitalize on any of their breaks, don't be too surprised at an early season upset. , Game time will be at 8:15 p.m., so students be on hand to cheer your fighting team. Girls' Intra-Mural Softball Tournament Teams Formed Various teams have been formed to participate in the girls' intra-mural softball tournament held after school. These teams and their captains in- clude: The Merri-Macs, with acting captains for each gameg Desperados, captain, Harriet Longg Polerettes, captain, Rose Maire Sojag Aeolian Clubbers, captain, June Wymer. To open the tournamentythe first games were held Wednesday, Septem- ber 27. The Aeolian Clubbers battled against the Merri-Macs, defeating them 13-9, while the Desperados handed the Polerettes a 20-19 defeat.

This 5'4 bombshell first rocked the earth and broke all serenity on June 11, 1927. Contrary to common belief, June was not named after the afore- mentioned month, but after her sis- ter's best friend. Graduating from Robinson Junior High, she entered Woodward halls four years ago and began shaping her slam-banging re- cord here. Of course you might have guessed, that being president of the Aeolian Society, June's favorite subject is radio, but that isn't the end of it with her, for June seems to have radio on the brain. During this interview her 'every second Word was on this sub- ject: In order to fulfill her ambitions along this line she will enter Bowling Green University upon graduation. When this reporter finally managed to introduce a slightly different topic June Went on to say that her pride and joy are her three brothers in the service, one in the Marines at Guam and the other two are with the Army. When questioned about her pref- erred nourishment she stated that she eats everything but has quite an at- tachment for apple dumplingsu. June has little time for hobbies since she is employed as a long distance opera- tor from six to ten each evening, but she admits dancing and bowling prove pleasant diversions. Aside from her participation in the radio activities, she is a member of the Girls' Leaders, Friendship, and Dramatic Clubs. Concerning the Aeolian Society June has many definite plans. The first of these being a roast at which initiation of new members will take place. Following this will be a skate which will be held sometime near the end of the month. A dance and show, similar to the War Bond Rally given by the club last year, are hoped to comprise the remainder of the activi- ties of the society. SIX RULES GIVEN T0 HALL GUARDS During the B schedule Monday, Oc tober 2, hall guards, student council members and hall captains met in the auditorium, At the beginning of the meeting Miss Dorothea Bishop, advisor of the Student Council, introduced the student council members and hall cap- tains. Six rules for hall guards to follow were presented: Be on time, stay at your post, all first floor hall guards check doors, ask to see hall passes of every person, don't visit with friends, and re- port all noise to Miss Bishop, Miss Amie Miller. Clyde Meek, or C. C. Larue, At the close of the meeting Mr LaRue gave a few suggestions and cornplirnenta ed the Student Council on its good workl If possible, there will be hall guard meetings every six weeks in order to discuss their problems. Columbus Day Scheduled As First School Term Holiday Good News kids!! Our first holiday this year will be on October 12, the day which Columbus discovered America. On October 27, the Northwestern Teachers Association will hold their meeting. The Thanksgiving vacation will be on November 23 and 24. The last day of school before the Christmas vacation will be December 22. After Christmas vacation, school will resume January 3. February 22, will be the first free day next year. Holidays following are: March 30, Good Fridayg May 30, Memo rial Dayg and June 8, will be our last day of school, ARMS First thing this week we wish to correct an erroneous mistake we made in the last issue of the Tattlcr. In an interview of Capt. Ernest Bankey we boasted of him as the only former student to reach rank of captain in the armed forces. Now we find there is another captain in our midst. He is Capt. Robert Sdhwellingcr, now in the army, who graduated in '39-the same year Capt. Bankey did. Well, anyway, one thing is certain, the class of '39 produced both of Woodward's highest ranking officers. Si fl! fll This boy has put in his request for 21 Tattler and also for letters from all his friends: Jack Henry Bohm, Hospital Apprentice, 2nd Class, 'U.S. Naval Hospital Staff, Oakland 14, Calif. It JF at We bumped into Marshall Seligman last week who came in for a. last look around school before he left for the University of West Virginia Tues- day.

RULES CONCERNING NIGHT ACTIVITIES STATED BY LA RUE C. C. LaRue, Principal, at a meet- ing, Tuesday, October 10, of advisors, mesidents, and secretaries of all clubs in Woodward, made it known that the number of activities this year would be greatly decreased. This has been brought about as a result of war time conditions. He stated that this is only one of the many functions of school activities that have been decreased or disbanded. Rules concerning night affairs were listed by Mr. LaRue. Some of the most important are: 1. There must be two men on guard in the halls. 2. Every social event must have at least four chaperons. 3. Decorating may be done only during sixth and seventh hours and after school. 4. No hay, straw, or corn silk -may be brought into the building. ' 5. Publicity over the P. A. system must consist of only a few dignied statements concerning the affair. These regulations may be new to the majority of the people concerned and should help members greatly if their particular group is planning on holding any social activities at school. Work Closes Oct. 13 Ending the Iifth week of school on Friday, October 13, the date usually referred to as Jinx day, students must have all work completed and fees paid to avoid getting an unsat. Teachers are to have all unsats in the office on Tuesday, October 17, and students will receive them Thursday, returning them on Friday.

The hand paint-ed bids were arranged by the artist committee. Kathleen Schmut- zer is president of the club this year. Trophy Roster Completed Miss Wetterman with the aid of Miss Betty Nelson celebrated Colum- bus Day, Thursday, by completing the roster of boys in service which adorns the trophy case. Thanks to them the list is now complete and up to date. Red Cross Gift Boxes Miss Wetterman's first hour Span- ish class also recently finished eleven gift boxes for the Red Cross. This is undoubtedly well above their quota. Tuesday Fire Drill Praised Woodward students and faculty clear- ed the building in one minute and thirty seconds during a clocked fire drill last Tuesday at the beginning of the sixth hour. District Chief Roy G Davis and Captain Ray Clevens were on hand to watch the proceeding. A very fine job, was the comment of the district chief. Principal La Rue's comment was, we did it in a short time, but I think it could be done with less noise. STAMP SALES SHOW GREAT DECREASE Our stamp sales are decidedly not what they should be, states Miss Dorothea Bishop, for we are averag- ing about S15.00 a week or less than one cent a student. The total for the first month of school is only 3i60.00, which IS not very much for 1'700 pupils of which a large number are holding jobs. Miss Bishop, who is in charge of stamps and bond sales, said further that bond-buying is a most important thing now, because people ar-e becom- ing over-optimistic about the war and even though we are in the midst of many other school activities and drives, we should buy stamps first. Students are reminded that war stamps and bonds can be purchased in their first hour classes through the home room representatives. Casualties Recieve Gifts Patients at the rehabilitation hospi- tal of Venice, Florida, are the recipi ents of peach stones, walnut shells, acorns, and buckeyes which are being collected by Mrs. Mary O'Brien's class- es. These patients, all war casualties, spenud their time carving figures and making Jewelry from the above men- tloned object. Mrs. Eula Upp, l'loyd Lords Check All Petitions , For Errors Eula Upp Petitions for ollicers were issued to candidates of the junior class during the junior class meeting last Thurs- day. The meeting was called to order by Floyd Lords, co-advisor of the class. Mrs. Eula Upp distributed the peti- tions which must be signed by forty supporters of the prospective candi- date. Students taking out petitions in- clude: president: Lloyd Barnes, Sylvan Essickg vice-president: Lois Mae Jacobs, Bob Van Horn, Clifford David, Ben Borman, Lina DeHayg secretary: Lydia Merz, Clementine Nicnerski, .loan Bieniakg treasurer: Rose Marie Hanna, Mary Todd, Ronald Haddadg reporter: Charlene I-Iamilton, Eugene Stapletong sergeant-at-arms: Bill Leon. After the petitions have been turned in, the advisors Mrs. Eula Upp and Mr. Floyd Lords will check all lists to see that only juniors have sign-ed and that no juniors have put their signatures on more than one petition for the same ofiice.

C. LaRue,by school board officials, that the num- ber of dances will decrease this year. . Reasons for this? First of all, each time the build- ing is open at night for a school activity, bills for heating and lighting must be paid. I In -ordinary times this would be permissable, but in tunes like these every one must sacrifice and giving up the enjoyment of a few dances would aid the war effort immensely. When activities are held it should be the responsibility of the club president or advisor to see that a sufficient number of chaperones are present. Although these regulations are not. new, they may prove to be an asset for newly organized groups or new advisors of clubs. Social Functions Need Both Faculty, Students ONSIDERABLE effort has been spent by the various clubs throughout the years to sponser dances and other activities to liven up school life. These dances are a diversion from the routine of school work and have proved a most pleasant place to meet friends. - After plans are completed for these affairs, cars is taken in selecting proper chaperones. At the close of last year not more than one or two mem- bers of the faculty appeared at the dances. and in some instances just the advisor of the club came. It is necessary to have co-operation and interest between teachers not only in school studies, but in social activities where they can help and get to know each other better. Community Chest Doing Splendid Job OW was your heartlast Tuesday? Was it warm enough to contribute ten cents to the Com- munity Chest? Could you ignore a wistful face pleading for help? Neither can the agencies of this organization who assist the handicapped, aged, and homeless. ' Juvenile delinquency is kept curbed by the Chest because it helps build character and good citizen- ship by meintaing places where boys and girls may go for rest, relaxation, and recreation. The U.S.O., where lonesome soldiers away from home go, profits a lot from your contribution in addition to most relief and welfare agencies. If you neglected to give this week, open your heart and pocket next Tuesday and give. You won't miss those few pennies and they are doing the most good. For A Refugee We Say, Thanks OMEWHERE in a liberated country, a refugee child will have a Christmas package because considerate Woodward homerooms have filled forty boxes for the Junior Red Cross, which will send them to the war-torn countries of Holland, Belgium, France. China, England, and places to which children have been taken to escape war. It was a small thing for us to do, as the articles used to fill the boxes are common-place to us here in America, but to them they are luxuries. For these people we say---THANK YOU WOOD- WARD!.

Does walking under a ladder scare you? When you break a mirror, are you frightened? And when Frid iv, the 13th rolls around, are you afraid to move? Then try Dream- less Rest Pills. They're guaranteed to put you to sleep---forever! You know, most people are superstitious. Take my father for instanceg I don't want him! Any- way, my father walked under a ladder and the next day he had a wife. Things went along peace- fully however until one Friday :the 13th when my mother's husband became a father! And the first time I looked into a mirror---it broke. Ever since I've had had luck. For instance, right now I'm writing this trash! Woe is the day I met the Fea- ture Editor. But I really love him---and I've also been judged as criminally insane! But getting back to bad luck, when Willkie was running president, a black cat crossed his path the day before election. Next day, Fala was beck in ofiice. Well I'll leave you with that cheery thought. Why worry you---I've got plenty of my own to do. Crime Doesn't Pay I boldly walked up to the large sinister looking building yelling, Where's my ball and chain? Quiet! the Warden shouted. You walk five feet, turn left, and it's three doors down. Then I tiptoed quietly down the corridor until suddenly I was sur- rounded on all sides. Where are you going? What's your name? Say, what's your phone number? Knowing the questioners were fellow inmates I ignored them and continued on my way QNote to Freshmen: Always ignore people who ask questions ifyou want to get anywhere ---fast! Well, at last I was at my destination. I looked all around me and then quickly turned the doorknob. Ah! Safe at last! QI thoughtj. What do you mean by coming late? Where have you been? and last but not least a statement, Report to the Dean! And so freshmen, the moral of this tale is---if you want to meet the Dean just arrive at school at 9:05.

' Plenty Of Trouble Tonight POLAR BEARS SET BACK BY LIRBEY, 26-6: HOPE CORNER FACE TOUGH Dev1LB1ss TEAM TONIGHT Lentz Passes To Haynes For Lone Touchdowng Krall Stars Although playing with an injury- riddled team last Saturday, Wood- ward's Polar Bears did comparatively well by holding the mighty Libbey Cowboys to a 26-6 score. Captain Jerry Krall, and Dick Jen- nings possessed a little too much power for the Bears as they continu- ally piled up first downs, enabling the Cowboys to set up their four touch- down plays. The first score came late in the opening period after the North End- ders had halted several touchdown drives. Jennings finally knifed through tackle from the four yard line for the score. Sarchiz's conversion failed. In the second quarter, Woodward still played a fine brand of defensive ball, but the constant gaining of yard- age by Libbey could't be stopped. Krall swept the end for the second T.D. after the Cowboys had com- pleted several passes. Woodward showed plenty of light in the final half, and came right back to score on the South Siders. Pass- ing ace, Charlie Lentz, tossed a 25 yard pass to Joe Frankowski to start off the works. Lentz, alternating with sub-fullback Jim Wilusz, carried the ball to the 15 yard line. A fumble by Lentz caused the pigskin to roll deep in the Cowboy's territory, and luckily, a pile of Woodward linemen fell on the ball, resting on the three yard stripe. Lentz then shot a pass to Abbey Haynes, who made a specta- cular catch in the end zone with three Libbey men hanging on his head. That ended the scoring for the Bears, as the conversion failed. Krall and Breitner marked up the remaining scores for the South Siders. Woodward players playing some outstanding ball were wingback Joe Haynes, Wilusz and Lentz. The two Bear fullbacks suffered thc only injuries in the game. Aubry was removed with a wrenched knee, and Wilusz carried a black 'eye that closed tighter than a clam shell, before thc sound of the gun. GYM SHORTS At the class periods were short Friday, due to the C schedule, girls' gym classes aendured a short hike. vii 'll To refresh their memories as the knowledge of the rules of the games they referee, a brief test was given to the members of the Girls' Leaders' Club at a meeting held Thursday, October 5. ,F ,L yr Joan Gnyszek and Vivian Skaif have charge of the committee to form a constitution for the Girls' Leaders Club.

Girls' Intra-Mural News Ending the second round of the intra-mural softball tournament the Merri Macs battled against the Des- peradoes, defeating them by a score of 8-7. The outcome of the other frame found the Aeolian Clubbers on the short end of a 17-14 defeat against the Polerettes. Each having one win and one loss, all four teams are tied for first place. Bears Play DeVilbiss With Fully Recup-erated Eleven Toledo High Schools begin their second round of play tonight: the Hnish of the first round finding Wood- ward in fth place, one notch above the winless DeVilbiss Tigers. Wh-ether these teams will share that spot after this evening's battle will bc found down Upton Avenue way at 8:30 as the I'olar Bears engage Scotty Flor- ence's Tigers. Coach Art Smith is hoping that his club will be back in their winning ways. He remarked after the Libbey game that it was the first time they had played the brand of ball that he saw in the last DeVilbiss fracas, and Woodward followers are hoping that they can boost their place in the city standings to a better percentage. All indications show that Florence's squad is interested in topping Sonny Lentz, Dick Aubry, and Joe Frankow- ski. Lentz and Aubry were the main cogs in upsetting DeVilbiss in the first round, 27 to 6, while Frankowski is looked upon as the gamest little back in the city. Joey was the chap who plowed through the left side of the Libbey line last w-eek making it mighty tough on the Cowboys. Smitty has found a solid replacement for the guard position in 128 pound Bill Spath, who incidentaly, is but a junior. Jack McGill and Joe Golden, who have been on the injured list, are expected to be back in the line-up, but if necessary, Jack Waters and Jack Kennedy are able substitutes. Frank Nowak, Bob Harrison, and Paul Sey- mour will be in their usual posts. Howard Haynes, who was the star de- fensive man in the club's last meeting will be in the end position. DeVilbiss, improved since the sea- son's opener, are hoping to come out on top in this one. They have had all kinds of tough luck in their games played. All hopes of a win for the Tigers are bank-ed on the forward wall. Their backfield, consisting of Johnny Stecker, Bob Nappenbach, Norb Todd, and Brian Ferries, is very capable of going places behind a good line. If the line holds up, which we might add has also been the Bear's weakness, rooters will sec a battle royal. Dale Gonia and Bob Brown share the end positions, while huskies Bert Fike and Bob Dixon are tagged to start at tackle. Captain Carl Hib- scher, Joe Corbin, and Art Gertz com- plete the line positions. All in all, the backfields shape up very nicely balancedg and the lines will hod the key to which way the victory sign wil swing. Both clubs are throwing all their power into this game. Woodward wishes to have a repeat over the Tigers, and the Tigers want revenge for their first loss to Woodward, and at the same time pull the Bears in the cellar with them. Leaders' Club Sponsors Mixer To create an enthusiasm for sports and to have them get acquainted with each other, the Girls' Leaders Club will sponsor a freshmen mixer in the girls' gym Wednesday, October 11, after school. Lillian Giberson is chairman of the committee to plan this affair. To aid her are Pat Snyder, Marion Sliwin- ski. Janice Trautman, Lois Chesher, and Rosemary Soja. Refreshments will also be served. By Syl Essick In spite of the defeat, the Polar Bears played a whale of a game against the powerful Libbey Cowboys. Statistics show that Libbey led in everything. They failcd to show the scrapiness that the Woodward eleven displayed. ik Ili 2? Little ibut dangerousi Frank Pinciotte, Central's dynamic half-back. exploded last Friday night to lead the Irish to a 28-12 victory over Waite's Indians, the first victory for the Centralites in the two schools 17 game series. Frankie's passing was the biggest big gun i11 the Irish at- tack. PI4 ll! elf The Polar Bears start second round play tonight by once again meeting DeVilbiss. The Tigers, only team in the city league that hasn't won a game, never-the-less have improved immensely since its first game with Woodward and if they can hold on to the ball tonight, they could be dan- gerous. The Bears, however, need another win and this is the night for it. All in all, it looks like a tough game is in the making and a flip of the coin gives the Bears an edge. Sli Pk lil Libbey meets a big test tonight when the Cowboys invade Waite's stadium. In first round play, Libbey barely managed a 6-0 win over the dangerous Indians. The Waite attack may seriously be hampered unless Bill Gregus and Steve Contos, main cogs in the Waite machine ar-e up to par. Both boys suffered ankle injuries in the Central game. Libbey, on the other hand, will be at full strength and it looks like the Cowboys will attach another victory to their string. 214 Pls Sli Central m-eets Scott tomorrow night and though the Bulldogs have come a long way since the 19-0 beating ad- ministered by the Irish in their first meeting, it's doubtful whether they can stop the Cherry Street -eleven. Scott, however. isn't to be counted out and an upset isn't unlikely. Armstrong Takes Initial City Cross Country Meet Th-e initial city-wide cross country track meet started off in rugged style with Carl Armstrong of Waite collecting top honors in the two-mile run. The Indian mile-man ran ahead of 50 some distance hopefuls and led the pack across the finish line at a terrific rate of speed. Fol- lowing him were Lehman of Waite in second spot, Coronar and Petries of Waite in third and fourth respective- ly with Gernhausfer of Woodward pulling into number five place. The Polar Bear thin-clads placed for Woodward in the following or- der: Ted Gernhauser, firstg Boh Frost, second: Bob Jones, third: Danny Gernhauser. fourth, Eugene Lechlak, fifth, Bill Stewart, sixth: Carl Berlincourt, sevcnthg and Arnold Crouch, eighth. Next week's meet to bc held Wed- nesday, October 11, at Ottawa Park. will find the league in its second meet of the season. Libbey's Golden Cowboys have a new assistant grid coach. He is Bob Snyder, unforgettable wingback of the Chicago Bears. The Orwig-Men thus far have featured a rugged T formation which has put 'em on top. They call liim-Sonny because he's so bright , might well apply to Charles W. Lentz Jr., who is the bright spot in the backhcld of the football team, a shining light on the basketball team and an honor student as well. His size 101,-Q shoe, often adorned with yellow shoe strings, is the one that always tries for the extra point by booting the placement kick. This blonde haired, bln-e eyed Hercules weighs 158 pounds and stands 5'9 . . His athletic prowess was built up at Camp Big Silver this summer where Sonny acted as assistant athle- tic instructor. After graduation Chuck hopes to join the air corps and do a little flying. Sonny exercises his -executive pow- ers as president of the Engineering Society and has been a member for three years. The Honor Society also claims his presence. Proving his versatility, Charles also has time to go steady with Dorothy Miller who graduated two years ago. This seems like the real thing. He finds humor in every situation and shows an appreciation by a rugged giggle. He is a v-eritble gift from heaven because they wanted it quiet up there. Concerning the game with DeVilbiss tonight Chuck has no predictions, but he said, 'We'll give .everything we got. Central Lightweights Win 41-0 Track Meet Over Cubs Coach L. C. Clark's 1944 edition of the reserve football team fell ibut hardl before an Irish onslaught Thursday afternoon. The Cubs were up against a bigger, experienced, and more versatile defense which had the game 'Non ice from the word go The Woodwardites were at no time more than 38 yards in Green and White territory. Boland, Aubry, Rugged Eugene Boland, hefty lineman and captain of the Catholic squad, sparked their forward wall to a block-buster blocking exhibition. For the Polar eleven, -Skip Aubry turned in an accountable performance. The frosh backfield sensation was the lone reason, the Blue and White second- ary hcld up during th-c game. Bob lSkipJ was knocked unconscious once during the battle, but he recovered readily. Nowicki, Merickel, Periat, Chubner, and Eddie Lair looked promising for the Woodward squad, while the game was definitely Central all the way. 341.20 'Derived From Movie Proceeds of the first movie ofthe year, held Friday, October 6, are 3205.

Although a large number of tick- ets were sold, there were compara- tively few students who stayed for any length of time, stated Richard Joseph. He also said that Wood- ward's dances after basketball games have larger crowds and- are better organized than Scott's last week. Don Higley, however, said that he thought these dances would be a great help in keeping the kids oil' the streets, even though visiting schools cannot be accommodated. He com- mented on- Scott guards who kept students inside the gym, saying that their system was very efficient.

Clubs have been able to accomplish this when an entire day was allotted them, but with the new rul- ing clubs will be allowed to decorate only sixth and seventh hours and after school. The Peris and Zets will be the first faced with these restrictions today. In this short space of time they may not be able to do the various things ex- pected of them. Should this be the case, advance plans and praperations will have to be made. Time for decorating will probably stretch further in after school time. As to how this will work, only time will tell. ' Less Homework On Monday Nights OMEWORK, the age old controversy between teacher and student, has appeared in gthe limelight again. Monday night assignments seem to bear the brunt of the objections, for a large percentage of the students hold part-time jobs and are forced to work until nine on Mondays. In order to complete their studies assigned to them, they must burn midnight oil. gg: The teachers on the other hand believing that schooling is more important than any trivial job seem to assign homework galore on that night. Reapportioniug the homework to be lightest on Mondays would go a long way to lightenithe bur- den of those who tryjto get all theirlschool work done and have outside interests as well. Lunch System Greatly Improved ONGRATULATIONS are in order, kids, for all of you, that is with the exception of the few typical show-offs. In case you're still in the dark, the above group of words refers to Wood- ward's lunch system. Yes! There is a definite improvement in the auditorium. The reason--students have been co- operating with the Student Council.iRemember, the sooner you get your papers and bottles picked up, the sooner you will be allowed to leave. A few years ago papers could be seen dying around the cafeteria, dice games were in evidence, and students crowded ahead in the lines waiting to get food. Now, everything is changed, everything isorderly, and the force of teachers has been cut gown. Let's make Woodward's lunch system the est. .-ln-.---si Plan To Curb Disturbances Begun N ORDER to help solve the problem of conges- tion and rodyism in the downtown area after football games, a new plan was tried out at Scott High School last Saturday night. After the game, the building was open to all Scott 'students who were served refreshments and then dancing commenced. This plan has been approved by E. L. Bowsher, superintendent of schools, and the various student council heads. Don Higley and Robert DuMonte, members of the Woodward Council, attended to observe the success of the plan. 1 -:Q N , RR I .e X 14 1, s ' ' 'Jia lv f .stun - '- X ET, MJ' lilli f K- mm ff 'ffilllll. 1,04 ttf g Af .1 I the birthday of on On Friday, October 27,we cele, brate one of the most important days in our National Cnlendarf This year it happens that we ' l 'Lhave no school on that day be- cause of a meeting of all the teachers in North Western Ohio. October 27 is not ordinarily a holiday, but it is celebrated all over America as Navy Day. This date was chosen because it is e of the most colorful Presidents the United States has ever had. It is the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt. The story of his life is as romantic as a Dick Tracy cartoon. As a young man he was a weak, near-sighted individual unable to take part in the games played by his classmates. He determined to become strong. His parents allowed him to spend a great deal of time on a Western ranch, where he learned to ride horses, rope steers and endure the hard life of a cowboy. His health improved and he became rugged and strong. During the Spanish American War he organized a troop of his Western acquaintances into what was known as the Rough Rideris' and distinguis- ed himself as their leader in the campaign in Cuba. Later he became Vice President under William McKinley and upon McKinley's depth, president. However it was during the administration of Grover Cleveland that Mr. Roosevelt, as an assist- ant in the Navy department, became interested in building the American fleet into what later became the greatest navy in the world. ' You boys and girls know the glorious story of our navy in World War 1 and its magnificent achievements in the war of today. When you think of this you should at the same time honor the mem- ory of its greatest promoter---Theodore Roosevelt. OPEN AND SHUT Any resemblencs to this column and feature is purely on purpose.

For the North Enders a victory means being rolled into num- ber three spot with Waite, Scott, and DeVilbiss comprising the cellar can- didates. A loss will mean just thc opposite with Woodward falling into the botloin half. At present, league standings are Libbey with an un- broken string of 5 straightg Central, 4 won and one lostg Woodward, Waite and Scott are deadlocked for third place with a record of two won and three lostg and DeVilbiss with a five and zero record. Coming at a time when the In- juns are crippled and considerably weak the Smith men may topple the Redskins into the revenged col- umn as of two years ago. Jack Mol- lenkopf is in doubt over his team's power after last week's 35-14 loss to Libbey while Coach Art Smil.h's squad still jubilant of their victory over D-eVilbiss are at full strength and going strong. . Bill Gregus, Waite's backiield lum- inary, is laid up with a bad leg and combined with the loss of captain Ray Boothby, the Indians definitely are not in top condition. The odds are about even but drawing Il lot from the hat gives the Bears more than an evven chalice to win. The Woodward hopes rely on the pitching' arm of Sonny Lentz and Howard Haynes' pass-'catching ability as well as Frankowski, Seymour, and Aub1'y's running power. On the line are Harrison, D,uHart, Spath, Babcock, Nowak, and Golden. six reasons why the Desk says We'll Take 'Em. Waite Captures Second City Wide Cross Country Meet The second city-wide cross country meet was held Wednesday, October 11 at the Ottawa park course.In part the contest was a repetition of the previous meet. Waite took first place with an outstanding low 273 Libbey and DeVil- bias tied at 65 all for number two spot. The Polar Bears, improving over the miserable performance of last week ran up an 85 total for third place, while weak Scott stumbled in at the tail po- sition with 95 as a score. ' Individual scoring ran as follows: Armstrong of Waite, first: Seamons of Scott, secondg Petries and Coroners of Waite, thirdg Gernheuser of Woodward, fifthg and McGee of Libbey, sixth. For the Polar Bears the places were. Ted Gernheuser, firstg Bob Jones, tbirdg' Dan Gernbeuser, fourth: Paul Farmer, fifthg Tom Jacobs, sixthg Eugene Lech- lak, seventh: Bill Stewart, eighthg Carl Berlincout, ninthg and Arnold Crouch, last. The two-mile barriers have one more match before the District Meet, October 28. Merri-Macs, Desperados Battling To Win First Place After a tough battle Wednesday, October 11, the powerful Merri-Macs defeated the Pollerettes 30-23. Because of the absence of the players on the Aeolian Clubbers team, the second game was forfeited to the opposing Desperados. With the Merri Macs and the Des- perados fighting for first place and tgie Aeolian Clubbers and the Pollerett s for third, the girls'intra'mural softball tournament will terminate.

A Woodward Crushes DeVilbiss 18-63 Lentgb, Haynes Star POLAR BEARS WIN SECOND CITY VICTORY FROM SCOTTY FLORENCE'S WEST ENDERS Triple Threat Charlie Lentz Gives Tigers Headachcg Haynes Chalks Up Two Touchdowns C To Lead Scoring i For the second time this season Woodward's star studded eleven made city history when they overpowered the DeVilbiss Tigers 18-6, before approx- imately 4500 fans. W This was the second victory for the Bears, who had previously been beaten three straight games, and both came at the expense of Coach Scotty Flo1'ence's winless Tigers. From the start of the game, Art Smith's gridders continuonslyout- fought and outcharged the opponents, and when the gun soundedg ending the contest, several thousand West Enders were baffled and left the stadium in a dazed condition. ,. .., -,...., -, .... .,,. ,... .-Q. . -..-V. we . Sonny Lentz The Polar Bears, after kicking oil' three times to the Tigers, finally situated themselves, and when three line plays failed through the Bear forward wall, DeVilbiss' quarterback Johnny Stecker attempted to kick from his own thirty yard line, but was smothered by the onrushing op- ponents. Woodward took over from thire, and the ball of fire begun to l'U . Frankowski Romps Dynamic wingback, Joe Frankun'- ski bulled through the Tiger line for 11 yards for the first run. Then Lent-z and Aubry on a series of running plays brought the ball to the two yard line, where Paul Seymour cracked through the center for the first score. Lentz's conversion was blocked. The remainder of the quar- ter was then played at midfield. However, the DeVilbiss team wasn't to be forgotten as they marched on for their one and only touchkdown, in the second quarter. On a sustained drive from their own forty five, the Tigers advanced deep into Woodward territory. Then a spec- tacular lateral pass took place. Bob Brown, end, received a pass from Stocker, and skirted the left end, but before being tackled he lateraled to wingback Norb'Todd, who made the score standing up. Captain Earl llib- scher's placement was too wide. The half ended with a tie score of 6-6. ,When the second half started, both teams came out .full blast, but the Woodward team was set off between halftime and exploded when they lui. the gridiron. 1 Woodward Slill Boiling The North Enders ollcnsive was still boiling as they sta1'ted.downiielcl for the second touchdown. This time Charles Lentz made use of his PHSSIIUI arm, and he started flinging them all over the lot. They got as far as the enemies thirty yard line, when a pass was muffed from Center Bob Harrison. However, Frankowski recovered with a loss of ten yards on the play. Lentz then rifled :i beautiful spiral to Howard Haynes in the end zone. The pass play for the conversion was incomplete. Woodward 12, DeVilbiss 6. Woodward still managed to hold the oFl'ensive, for the Tigers didl1't possess enough power to get around the Bruins. Leutz, Haynes Star In the final period, some of the most beautiful running and passing plays took place with Lentz at the reins. From his own thirty five, Lentz knifed through tackle and sped downfield, was hit time after time by three or four tacklers, but finally ended up with a sensational 59 yard run. A long pass intended for Seymour was .bloeked, but sub back Leon was on the alert and caught it in the end zone. The excitement ended as the play was called back penalizing the Bears for clipping. Lentz lashed another long pass to end Haynes, who made a beautiful catch, with a swarm of DeVilbiss men around him. With four minutes remaining, Coach Smith entered his substitutes, who held the West Enders to a standstill, until the gun. Bill Leon sustained a slight headache as a result of being knocked un- conscious for several minutes. This happened to be the only casualty occur- ring in the game. To the team and Coach Smith: the student body and faculty congratulate you. Girls Assist A. J. Brown Girls working in the office of Arnold J.

Despite the 26-0 defeat suffered at the hands of the Collingwood Boule- vard squad the yearlings showed marked iinprovenicnl.. For the Maroon and White, Jack Haffeld-er, freshman winpgback, was the man to watch as he scored three of the Scott touchdowns. Kenny Ringle scored the final goal. Skip Aubry, Mel Young, Eddie Lair and Ronald Chubner were the outstanding play- ers on L. C. Clark's squad. Aubry, 'Bright Spot Aubry came through with beautiful tackling and exhibited his backfield ability with brilliant broken field runs and swivel-hipped line plunges. The Bears' forward wall held up considerably well after the intermis- sion. Wallace Rutkowski, Norm Snyder, Chuck Carr, Carl Fletcher, Ted Harder fcapt.J and Gene Periat looked good for the losers.

Who will next? - Wise Pupils Order Sagas Now O MARK the official opening of the present Saga campaign, a double assembly was held Monday in the auditorium. In view of the critical shortages of wartime years, we are indeed fortunate that Sagas can be published. Nothing can be as representative ofa students high school experiences than a year book. In years hence, when our school days are far behind us, we can recall pleasant memories of high school expe- riences and friends by leafing through the pages of old Sagas. For the moment, we will find our- selves back in the midst of high school activities. Reports have come to us many times of students who have neglected to purchase Sagas while in school. How they have regretted that they have no remembrance of the good old days. Don't be left in the cold. Get your Saga now. Sixth War Loan Begins - - - Will You Do Your Part? OU are in a position to do a very important job in connection with the SIXTH WAR LOAN. Can the treasury department count on you? In the near future we are expecting to defeat Germany, but V-E day Cvictory in Europel day is only one half of the victory won, and we should continue as we are, buying with no let down. You, yourself, can't go over to Europe and iight the enemy face to face, but you can be sure that the boys over there who are fighting have suffici- ent ammunition and clothing. Schools throughout the nation have done a tremendous job in the pur- chase of stamps and bonds. Students realize how important it is at this time to put money away for a college education in future years.,When you realize what benefit can be derived from war bond purchases, you will be more than willing to save and put away. Happy Birthday Papa LaRue EST wishes and many happy returns of the day, Pop LaRue. Tomorrow marks another milestone in the full and purposeful life of our genialprincipal. This well loved friend of students and faculty alike, has brought about good cheer and laughs in many critical moments. His philosohpy of life he passes on to us many times, and with the greatest enthusiasm of all has led us through many campaigns. On behalf oi the entire student body and faculty we wish Pop the greatest happiness and may he have many, many more birthdays.

These nimble nurnbus were Leon Woznink and WallyRutkowski,who certainly proved talented in their field. Q Sophmore, Norbert Koziatek CFrank Sinatraj was the featured croon-swooner. Visiting guests were Dolores and Dorothy Czarneckig Mary Jane Kubicki, last years Saga sports editorg and Evelyn Lewanclowski, winner of the Polish Lit scholarship. Husky Joe Frankowski and Ray Kosmider were in charge of the paddling machine. Dorothy Dzanna, Pat Pawlak, and Dorothy Lozinski were victims who really took a beating. Grasshopper Woes Help--stop him--oh my lonely legs. Hey cut it out kids--oh heavens I'm awreck. No, these aren't the words of Frank Clinatra surrounded by admirers, instead they are the pleas of a poor grasshopper bewildered at the plight he is in as the studentsof the biology class begin bisecting him. Although many pity these poor creatures who bravely give their lives for science, my sympathy goes to the students with lunch afterwards. v THE WOODWARD TATTLER DOPE CORNER D Syl Essick Woodward meets Scott tomorrow night at the latter's staudium and the outcome of the battle should decide which of the two clubs will occupy fourth place. The Bears are out to avenge a first round defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs and the desk says Woodward by two touchdowns. No ouija board neidedgkeitherl High-lighting the week end games will be the struggle between unde- feated Libbey and the second place Central Irish. The Cowboys will add No. 7 to their string as their three horsemen Krall, Jennings. and Sar- chiz will continue to baffle all op- ponents running oll' their tricky T formation. On the other side of the picture, Central's back specialists composed of Pinciotti, Bayer, and Molnar will find it hard to crack through the Libbey forward wall. Libbey by three touchdowns! Ili ik bk Howard Abie Haynes continued his fine play in the Waite game when he set up the Bears' lone touchdown, snaring a 35 yard pass from Lentz on the Waite one yard line and con- stantly stopped Indian runs around his end. Abie is the best all around end seen in the local lugh school circle for sometnne. fl! Sl PF Lentz's 68 yard kick in the second half set the Indians back on their heels but the Bears failed to capital- ize on it as Mollenkofl s boys ran thc pig-skin out of danger. 31 if fl' Cleveland's Cathedral Latin is rated as one of the best high school elevens in the state. Included on the Latin's victory string are the highly touted Massilon Tigers from down state. Clark Grid-Kids Remain Scoreless In City Race Ted Harder tCapt.b and company fell again Thursday afternoon to a Libbey reserve edition by a repeat Scott score, 26-0. The contest was repetition of the previous game in which Scott ran up an identical total. Hamilton Bey, colored wingback luminary of the Cowboys, set oli' the Western Avenue nreworks early in the second quarter with a swivel-hip change of pace run through the entire Cub forward wall and secondary. This started the South End victory wagon rolling. Skip Aubry ripped ofi' some rugged yardage against the Blue and Gold but inefficient blocking stopped all hope of a touchdown. The score at the intermission was Libbey 7, Woodward 0. ' Libbey Opens Up The second half' began with Chub- ner kicking' off' and receiving the ball on exchange of punts. Bob Wieland bowled through thc Blue' and Gold line for a first down. Mel Young and Eddie Lair kept the ball rolling with successive end runs. A touchdown pass from Periat failedg I.ibbey's ball. Boy cut out on an oil' tackle run through the lightweight line to score touchdown number two. Don Ramsey ran across with per- fect blocking for T.D. number threeg Tailback Jerry Ritter zipped over for the final Libbey goal. The Cowboys completed two out of four conversions. The Cubs will engage the Tiger lightweight aggression on the home field tonight, but at this date results are not complete. Oh, yes. Need it be mentioned Sue is very photogenic. Proving this to be true, have you seen her pictures in the display case? ik if il - Hope of a speedy recovery is of- fered for Dorothy Konz, who has just come through' an appendicitis opera- tion. Ted Gernhauser Captures , Second Place In Big Meet The meet of Wednesday, October 18, found the Woodward Cross Country team placing fourth in' the city 'as Ted Gernheuser, outstanding Wood- ward barrier, raced Carl Armstrong and Don Petries in to place in number three place. For Woodward it was Ted Gernhenser, Paul- Farmer, Bob Frost, Dan Gernheuser, Bob Jones, Gene Lechlak, Carl Berlincourt, Bill Stewart, and Arnold Crouch in that order. Schools placed as follows: Waite, DeVilbiss, Libbey, Woodward. Scott. The meet marked the third consecutive year of championship for Waite High in the distant field. District Meet Results The district meet was held, Satur- day, October 21, at ten o'clock. Par- ticipating were 62 contestants from Woodward, Scott, ,DeVilbiss, Libbey, Old Fort, Waite, and Mansfield. Winners were Del Corners of Waite: first, Ted Gernheuser of Woodwardg second, Armstrong and Petries, of Waite, third and fourth, and Shay of Mansfield, fifth. The record time by Corners was 10:49.9, chopping three seconds off the record set by Sylvester Seabiscuit Stewart ill 43. Schools placed as follows: Waite, Libbey, DeVilbiss, Woodward, Mans- field and Scott. The first ten run- ners received gold medals while the next ten were awarded' silver em- blenis. For Woodward scoring ran, Ted Gernheuser, second, Paul Farmer! 13th, Bob Frosty 'l4th, Danny Gern- heuserg 31st, Bob Jonesg 48th, Lech- lak 55th and, Berlincourt 56th.

CONTOS LEADS WAITE TO VICTORY OVER is g WOODWARD, 13-63 BEARS MEET SCOTT ' Smith's Gridders Out For Revengeg Invade Dust Bowl ' Number two round revenge compe- tition comes into the limelight again tomorrow night when the Polar Rear's ship of state sails into the Scott Dust Bowl with Art Smith at the helm. For the Bulldogs a victory means a hold on number four spot with the .Bears grabbing their last chance to keep out of the cellar cate- gory. A win for the Polar Bears sig- nifies a breaking -of the deadlock be- tween the Maroon and White and with Woodward ascending 0116 place in averages. - Pilot Smith goes into the pay minus injuries and riding on crest of a pos- sible revenge wave. Sacksteder, man in motion, was stopped cold Friday night by a Libbey aggression 31-7, while the Bears' Y formation proved quite effective against the Waite Indians in the hectic 13-6 bat- tle Saturday night. Scott's Lineup Scott's backfield still consists of the four horsemen, Lutz, Webb, Black, and Robison. Ligibel, Gunlite, Troy, Franklin, Brooks, Bragg and Borman compose the Uptown team's fo1'Ward wall. Within limits of imaginations and statistics the North Enders should win the engagement. The Bruins' new combination of Lentz. to Haynes and Seymour to Lentz is an unbeatable aerial attack invaled only by the Sarchiz to Jen- nings fcatured by the Libbey Cow- boys. Both teams carry a two won and four lost record into t.hc Collingwood Avenue Stadium. A tie isn't in the books, an upset is inevitable. Smitty has eleven good reasons why L-he Desk goes out on a limb to say Woodward by a touchdown. C. C. LaRue was the lucky winner of 85.00 worth of war stamps at a recent Kiwanis Club luncheon. This is the second time that our principal has held one ofthe winning num- bers, however, in the first instance he won a S25 war boml. RIVAL BACKS REVEAL INTERESTS Bob Robison Privacy at the ca.nteen is quite an impossibility! This I learned while attempting to interview Scott's super sensation Robert Patrick Joseph Tim- othv Robison. Junior, better known as Robbie. This aerial star plays the position of half-back or quarter-back on the Scott's team. Standing 5' 11f' and weighing 170 pounds makes quite a physique no matter how you look at it and top this off' with brown hair and describable hazel eyes. After eliminating all his subjects on the tips of his fingersiftobbie dc- cided he had no favorite. This jaunty junior plans to go to Notre Dame where he will enter pre-med training and embark upon a surgeon's career. Dancing is a pastime and his con- stant attendance at the canteen proves this. He excels in bunny hopping. Other outside interests in- clude the Hi-Y and women. When asked about a particular girl he de- clined to mention any oarticular one, because the other three would be on his trail. - Robbie thinks Woodward has a darn good team and Scott is expecting a hard fight and Bob Harrison, in his opinion, is the best line-backer in the city. , By this time the crowd grew so thick that I waved a fond adeue to bunny hoppin' Bobbie. .loc Frankowski Presenting Joseph Carl Frankow- ski, speedy, dynamic wingback on Woodwm'd's team. This small but staunch fellow is 5' 5 and weighs 155 pounds. l'le's an all-round fellow whose sports calendar includes bowl- ing in a league and playing basket- ball. besides racing down that football field. He stated that he was sorry he started his football career so late. for this is his first year and last to play. ' The Polish Literary Society is one of his extra-curricular activities and it is said that at thc initiation, he wielded a mean paddle. All the pledges will tell you that. Joe may be a shy senior but he makes no bones about the fact that his girl Mary Edwards, lives in Syl- vania. Besides women. he collects stamps and has acquired quite a few rare ones. This brown haired, blue eyed boy worked at the Bingham Stamping Company this sununer. f-lis future plans are very indefinite and all he wants to do is to go out and make a living. ' Joe and red-haired Dan Bieniek are an inseperable two-some around Woodward, being great buddies. Mr. Nuber and the Auto Mechanics class are his favorites, showing he's not only a whiz at football but has other interests' as well. K - North Enders Lose Tough Gameg Aubry Stars For Bears q Co-Capt. Aubry Speedy Steve Contos spelled the difference between victory and defeat to 'the Woodward Polar Bears last Saturday, when he personally ac- counted for 13 points to aid the Waite Indians to a slim 13-6 victory over the Bruins. The encounter started ofl' in the same fashion, as when the two teams had met in the first round, but this time it was the Indians who made the first mishap of fumbling on the open- ing play. This, however, didn't ham- per them, for the Bears couldn't make any progress through the Waite fbr- ward wall. Shortly after this, Charley Lentz fumbled a punt by Bill, Gregus, when he was hit head on by end, Don Norton, who played a bang-up game for the East Siders all evening. Waite took over then, but the Bears offered some stifl' resistance before Contos galloped the end for a ten yard touch- down run. He then converted the extra point to give hislteam a 7-0 lead. Seymour Scores Woodward was still in the running though, as Lentz flipped a beautiful 35 yard pass to end Howard llaynesf who was stopped dead on the one yard line. An attempted plunge by Aubry backfired when he lost the ball, but a slew of Bearman fell on it. Lentz then shot an aerial to Paul Seymour, who was standing alone in the end zone. The conversion was blocked. The half' ended with the Sta- tistics all showing in the favor of Woodward. h U In the third period Waite scored again, after playing the Bears in their own territory for several minutes, Contos broke loose on an -ofi'-tackle play that netted thirty yards, which saw some neat blocking by the Pauley coached line. Excitement still lingered in the fourth period. Woodward's last threat took place after Lentz had punted to Timmons on the eight yard line where he was stopped by Haynes. The North Enders couldn't get their hands on the ball after that, as Waite stalled until the gun. Co-Captain Aubry, was the ' big noise for the Polarites both on the offense and defense, especially the latter. Time after time Aubry smeared the enemy ball carriers at the line of scrimmage, halting many potential touchdown runs. , ,, , - THE WOODWARD TATTLER ' 1 1 rPA'l S PATTER Three Juniors Top 'tudent Sales Attention everyone: Alice Miller recently stated that she has ,found the shoe, which she lost during a club initiation, and wishes that all pupils would kindly stop searching for it.

Evelyn McDougall, a junior and top sales girl of the magazine drive with a total of Eli134.00, made her dra- matic appearance into the world on April 23, 1.927 in Tampa, Florida. This Scotch lassie stands 5' 5 tall, has blond hair and blue eyes. Averaging about six to seven dol- lars per day at the beginning of the campaign, her sales record boomed to S29 per day. Due to the fact that she works in a grocery store, she received about half of her subscriptions from customers. The rest were gathered from relatives, neighbors, and friends. On the last evening of the drive, she canvassed the neighborhood, but ad- As a special prize she will receive a regular ticket for every football game this year.

A Barrymore Sings For Her Supper Heard By LinalDe Hay, Marvin Hascal Tivo Woodward students were amfmgytlie audience to hear Miss Ethel Barrymore Colt, last Saturday at the Commodore Perry Hotel. The following is za report as submittecl by ll'1zn'vin Hascal and Lina De Hays Acting is an job, or url. or craft thai, one must learn just like every- thing' elseg and there is only one way to learn to :ict-on the stage, right in front of the audience. A Thus, Ethel Barrymore Colt began her lecture. A Barrymore Sings For Her Supper. After having toured the southern and central states, Miss Colt ap- peared zxt the Commodore Perry Ho- tel Ballroom on Saturday, October 28, and held a mostly feminine audience spellbmmd with her revelations of life with thc Barrymores. Miss Colt presented her interesting levst-ure relating numerous amusing in- cidents of her career and, with Miss Phyllis Flanagan accompanying- at the piano, sang' several beautiful oper- atic arias. Among them was The Last Rose of Summer, which she sang in the title role of Martha in New York last year. Miss Colt recalled one of the most touching experience in her life when, as a child, she witnessed her mothe1 s portrayal of Juliet. She remarked, it became my ideal of everything that was beautiful and wonderful in the whole world. A An amazing fact which Miss Colt revealed was, my brothers and I were brought up in a non-theatrical atmosphere. Mother was at the thea- ter ufteu, but she never brought the theater into our living' room. Contrary to that, The Royal Fam- ily, by George Kaufman and Edna Ferher, pictured the Barrymore house- hold as a three-ring circus, with every member of the family strolling about with Il script in his hand and reciiingg lines. Nobody is horn knowing how to act, she emphasized. Acting lnnks easy, and if you think su, just try il, sometime. Miss Coll. complained that at the start of her career, critics took her acting for granted. Because of my name they expected a genius, she said. And the answer to the ques- tion, does having a family 'name' help or hinder your profession is, it helps you get your first job, but never your second. Last winter, MiSs'Coll. did 20 pci'- formances of 'Alia Traviataf' She used the same costume and employed the same lace pillows which her mother had used in this very roll many years ago. lt was some time before she real- ized that She had only one good cam- era angle. The left profile is thc best camera angle in the Barrymore family, Miss Colt revealed. In a backstage chat, Miss Colt stated that her next lecture would be at the Cass Theater in Detroit. Tomorrow Norman Cousins' Rc- vicw of Current Literature will be heard by Dolores Wujciak c'hosen by Miss Bertha Vermllya and Erwin Part selected by Mrs. Hazel Mc- McManamon.

It requires a great deal of time and eifort put forth by someone who has the ability to see it through. The whole future of the senior class is at stake for, it an in- efficient cabinet is chosen, the .last ear which seniors like to cherish will be remembered as a flop. The activities will be carried on halfheartedly because the officers will be too preoccupied with other affairs to attend meetings after school and give the class their fullest attention. Remember you seniors who want to uphold the reputation of your class. Vote wisely and carefully for only you will suffer by your mistakes. Keep in mind that brawn is not brains, and glamour will not make the senior year successful.

Express Sincere Self In Your Vote 0 O YOU express your sincere thoughts in your ' vote? A true American would. Some of us think these school class elections aren't im- portant. They're just trifles. If he or she won't be elected, somebody will be. We must dispose of these ideas and feelings while we still know how and while we still know what we really want. These class elections are of great importance because they are base 'formers for our future. Be you a sophomore, junior, or senior, whenjyou are handed that ballot on election day, stop and express your true feelings to yourself before you mark that x . Just ask yourself a few questions such as: Can he do it? Are they reliable, depend- able, and able? Remember they're elected to serve you, so think before you vote. ,......-1.1. 'Aid War Effort Go All Out In Drive OD BLESS the bond buyers and the P-38's. Thus spoke Sergeant Joe Baz at the bond rally in the auditorium last Wednesday. After hearing the stirring account of his experiences, how can any one of us remain oblivious to the impor- tance of buying bonds and stamps. We cannot shut our eyes against the horrors of war. An endless flow of war materials is necessary to stabilize the armed forces' advances. The pro- duction of such materials requires money. By mere- ly lending our money temporarily, we can help speed the day of victory. Surely we can all give up some of our pleasures tu buy bonds and stamps. What minor sacrifices we make in comparison with those of the boys in service, many of whom are sacrificing there lives. , Let us all go All out inlthis present war loan drive. Our boys on the battlefronts are depending on our support. We cannot disappoint them.

Itis pure fiction butits val- In the Se tember and October -- . 9 ue is in its nearness to essential facts. It is called Who Killed my Buddy? The scene of the story is laid i Q V in a midwestern town The hero v 'X I., QNX ffl 1 I Q., Fix' lr. P iw, I l. L Wir. .1 fi ' 'iffy ' l' l .. lu, -:fm f S has returned to his ' home on it leeve from the European theater of war. Hi buddy had been killed in an action in which the enemy had been informed ofan intended attact and had been so well prepared that not only the hero's buddy but many more had been killed. The hero is stunned when told that some one in his own town had been responsible for this infor- mation to the enemy. He returns with the grim determination to huntdown this spy and give him his just deserts. I cannot of course go into detail about this. You may read the story for yourselves, but the point is this. He did track down the one person who was responsible for relaying the information to Berlin. However, at the trial of this spy it was brought out clearly that the imformation thus gathered came from theunguarded talk of the hero's best friends.

MASS KMURDERJ MEETING Most of you worthy students QI need your votel know what a mass meeting is. That's one of those programs that ends when some jerk comes out,on the stage and says, All of you lucky people may joyously return to your third hour class. Isn't it amusing how some ignoramuses can get fourth hour lunch mixed up with third hour bio1ogy!Take the other day for instance! Itsalready past so you can have it. A Anyhow, the other day on my way to a mass meeting some freshman did an imitation of Dag- wood and rushed past me at about 90,100,000 miles per hour. Catching up with him was a diflicult task with all that hot air fexcluding this storyi against me. I asked him what the rush was .and he replied, Ive gotta see the cheerleaders preform. That's the only time I develop an appetite. An appe- tite for what? I inquired. An appetite for the majorettes you dope, was his brilliant answer.He is the first freshman with brains I have ever met. I love to attend mass meetings you know. Where else can you find gum under the seats? . Sprouting Wings Did you ever tell a iib? Do any of your friends let loose with s few false convincers--yes sir, it sure is lonesome in heaven with George Washing- ton, and Eddie Lehr. Bessei Papps came up with the bright one that men must never go to heaven cause she never sees angels with whiskers -most men that do get to heaven, Bess, geta close shave.

Dear Lord, take care of Papa, Mama, and Grammag I would ask you to make me well, but you see that is what we pay the doctor for. Please, God, it wasn't my fault I didn't pass that History test. Ma's mad but the dumb teacher asked me things that happen- ed before I was born. And really, I didn't pull the cat's tail. I just held it and the cat pulled. Oh yes, 'I know the answer now as to whether George Washington was a sailor or soldier and why, He was a soldier 'cause I saw a picture of him cross- ing the Delawareg and any sailor knows enough not to stand up in a boat. Well dear God, guess that's about it for tonight. God bless all my teach- ers--even Mr. Meek, that sweet, understanding, intelligent, handsome dean of ours.

Woodward Reserves Take 14-0 Bea-ting From Tigers The Woodward lightweight aggres- sion was stopped and held scoreless for the fourth straight game in the city reserve football circle Thursday. The number four beating came at the hands of coach Breve's DeVilbiss out- fit. Bob Laughler and Dick Wainscott were the big guns for the Upton ave- nue eleven while captain Eddie Lair and Skip Aubry alternated at starring for the Blue and White clubs. The West Enders touchdown march began after a long kick by Lair into the Bengal territory. The first score came after successive end runs into the Clarkmen's territory.

Frank Nowak For the first time since the halycon hey-day of Gil I-Iarre and Joe Fried- man, The Woodward Polar Bears matched the Scott Bulldogs play for play, kick for kick, and won. WoodWard's new formations and deception plays left the Scott team somewhat baffled after the first touch- down. The Polar Bears played a whale of a game and recovered every fumble. The entire first half was a repetition of the Woodward-Central game of 1943, score 0-0. The crowd .HBEASA-1-.fri me I ' ' ' witnessed a Lentz vs. Robison kick- ing duel. 5 Passing Attack Begins The second half began with a run- ning and passing attack. Lentz passed to Seymour on the 17-yard stripe for a first down. Lentz tossed a strike to Haynes in the end zone for the .initial score. After faking a placement con- version, Lentz pitched one to Able in the identical spot for the extra point. The score at the end of the third quarter, Woodward 7, Scott 0. The final period began with wild aerial passes from Robison to Allen and Gunlite. The Maroon and White succeeded in scoring after a long string of first downs. Blankley crashed right guard to score standing up. Robison kicked for the point, 7 up. Scott Fumbles With minutes remaining, both teams took to the air lanes. Robison tried his spot pass but lost the ball on downs. Lentz shot a long pass to Haynes which was intercepted by Allen, Scott wingback who was jolted and dropped by Dick Aubry at the 15 yard line.

I J D01-E CORNER Woodward Meets Traditional Foe Tonight: Face Irish- SMITH'S ELEVEN PRIMED FOR BATTLEQ CENTRAL HAS POWER LADEN TEAM E --l-.1-1 rl- The traditional rivalryship between Fighting Irish Captain Tells Reporter Top Interests By Jackie Wujciak I ,, l El l tl I 1 l 1 I . e'. ' 1 l l 1 Capt. Francis Flynn Woodward has its Aubry, Libbey, its Krall and what would Central do without Fran Flynn, stalwart tackle and captain of the football team? His presence adds a certain dignity to the school that otherwise would be lacking and his modified giggle is in a class all by itself. Getting down to cool facts, Flynn is six foot even, and weighs 167 pounds. His physiog- nomy includes perfect white teeth, a dazzling smile and hazel eyes. Num- ber 42 is the way you can distin- guish him from the other Central players on the field. His track team mates call him Turtle, he modestly admits, but in spite of this he loves track and does a lot of running. Showing what a game guy he really is, he announced with a flourish, that his favorite food is Mexican chile from the place on Erie street. Fran's future is not all certain, but he will attend a college in Dayton if he doesn't join the Marines first. Time will tell. The Flynn family is well-represent'- ed at Central. 2!1l's of the team is composed of him and his brother Bill who plays center. llis love life has been very rocky of late, so he is just content to lead a peaceful life with all his buddies, the football players. Saye he, they are just one happy family. Central has always regarded Woodward as one of their toughest opponents and we are looking forward to the game with a great deal of expectationnf' predicted Mr. Flynn. In conclusion the Tattler Staff on behalf of Woodward High School wishes to congratulate, Fran Flynn on his eighteenth birthday which he celebrated Wednesday. . Cleveland Cathedral Latin stretched its unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon record to seven straight by de- feating Cleveland East Saturday, 26- 0. The Latin eleven is one of the state's most power-laden teams, boast- ing victories over East Tech and the rugged Massilon squad. - T '? 31 The individual battle of stars be- tween Johnny Jupe Juhasz and Johnny Sarchiz proved a fiuke as the Krall - Jennings - Sarchiz combination began and kept clicking throughout the game. Juhasz did, howeveig com- plete a 30 yard strike to Babione in the last quarter of play which set up the Red and Gray's lone score. Woodward and Central Catholic hi h schools will come to blows tonigit when the two teams clash in Scott Stadium, in a game that is expected to be an uphill struggle from start to finish. ' Coach Art Smith's gridders will be all out 'to win this one tonight, not only because of the bitter rivalry, but to further their standings ill the city league race. The Bears are now holding a slim lead for the fourth position in the city standings, and hope to climb the ladder by toppling the battered-up Irishmen. ' . - With a victory over Scott last week, Smith's team is still looking for an- other victory, especially over Central, for they haven't beaten the Cherry Streeters since 1934, when Rollie Bevan was at the reins. ' Teams' Feature Backs ' A host of hard-driving backs will feature both teams, with both the passing and running attacks being evenly matched. For the Polar Bears it will be McGill, Seymour, Lentz, and' Aubry in the backfield. McGill and Seymour are both prominent in the blocking department, with Aubry and Lentz featuring the running attack. Triple threat Lentz will have an equal in the enemy backfield as Johnny Juhasz sparkplugs the Irish with his brilliant passing, punting, and run- ning. Joe Molnar will fill the tail- back spot, and features some flashing running, along with Frankie Pinci- otti, a little stack of dynamite in himself. The fourth horseman hap- pens to be Dick Bayers, who is rated as one of the greatest backs since Tom Keefe's time in the early '20's. On the line, the Bears have some rugged men in Golden, Haynes, ends: Babcock, DuHart, tacklesg Spath, and co-captai.n Nowak, guardsg and a great defensive man in center, Bob Harrison. . - I Bill Saelzer, Babione, Glennow, Warwick, Flynn, and Dusseau play the roles as ends, tackles, and guards respectively. Another great center braces the Irish defense, with John Paciko, a 165 pounder filling out the spo . Breaks May Decide Game Concerning the weight and speed of the players, both teams are evenly matched, and it may be a matter of breaks that will decide the winners. Last year's game ended in a score- less deadlock that surprised many spectators. The Cherry Streeters had a virtual powerhouse team, but' the Polar Bears had them beat in the line' of determination and spirit. The desk can't foresee this game, but the only thing that can be said is to be on hand at 8:15 P. M. to see the clash between the Blue and White, and the Scarlet and Grey. Gernheuser Places 21st E.

Bill is a very carefree and pleasant person who revealed that being the president of the Woodward band is something t.o take pride in. Tlirough- out the conversation, t.he accent was on music. Bill plays a trumpet, in the organization and admitted that he likes to swing out every once in a while at home. He is also a. member of the chorus.

Education-Industry Conference Hider Defeated By Margin Off' A ' HOUSING-CLASS MAKES FIELD TRIP Members of Miss Blanche Hazelton's seventh hour housing and furnish- ing class, which is now making field trips to furniture stores and modern homes, are pictured here as they are about to leave Woodward on a tour. From left to right in the back row are: Winifred Komosinski, Phyllis Kania, Angela Cygan, Virginia Gust, Lois Maska, and Phyllis Witka. Miss Hazelton, Freda Pappas, and Ruth Wisniewski are standing in front. The girls, who are now re-furnishing the home economics dining room, are visiting the model display rooms in the various department stores in order to view arrangements and get new ideas. After discussing the principles of buymanship, the class goes to town, and each girl takes her turn at transacting the business of buying the fur- nishings. The redecorating cost is being paid by money derived from rc- deemed sales tax stamps collected over a period of two years. 1 Modern Homes Viewed Modern homes were also viewed by the girls who last week toured Hamp- ton Park, where they observed whether the houses were Dutch Colonial, Spanish mission, English, French, or Italian style. I , v After enjoying refreshments at Miss Hazelton's home, Miss Bishop drove a few of the girls through New England lanes to see an entire street of houses in modernized New England style. Planned as a surprise was a visit to the completely modern home of Mrs. Lola Bowyer, who' was hostess to the class last Thursday. Her home is constructed entirely of concrete and steel making it fireproof. .. The chief object of viewing the interiors of the houses was to observe how growing plants and flowers can be a part of thc decorative scheme.

Cabinets' Choose Carefully I-IEN cabinet members take over their duties I after election they feel indebted to the various friends and sponsors who pulled for them during their campaign. Naturally, when the time comes for choosing committees, they will pick the same people who worked for them even though their talents are not suited for the job. This is absolutely the wrong thing to do. For many people who are well-equipv pad and talented are pushed in the background to look on and work under inefficient people., Surely, during the time we spend in school to- gether, various people reveal leading talents. Bhd Xare energetic and willing to work diligently for the benefit of their class. Committees must be chosen carefully and with the greatest considers tion in order to have a smooth working class. .- Respect Other i People's Property OMPLAINTS have been made by the Com- munity Traction Company because of the damaging of buses. Both the grade school and highschool pupils are guilty of this crime. The seats have been slashed with knives and the insides removed. Some of these students, have gone so far as to set fire to the padding removed. This act not only ruined the seats and cost a huge amount for repairs, but also endangered the lives of other passengers. Woodard has always had a fine reputation. LGVB not have any of our students be guilty of these accusations. Be One Of The Gang TUDENT ACTIVITIES and projects add variety to the routine of school life. It takes effort and co-operation to present a play, sponsor a dance or give a mass meeting, but a feeling of satisfaction is derived from knowing that through your efforts pleasure has been given to many others. The only objection is, that too many of the same students are responsible for all these activities, and that the rest of the students fail to take part in any of them. Let's alljoin in the effort and be one of the gang! Help dto make Woodward a pleasant place to atten . ....l... .,.... ,Thanks To . ' O. B, Kirk OURTESY is a great thing, especially when -you go out of your way to help. Such was the case of O. B. Kirk of Scott High School. Confronted with the problem of making the Woodward-Central football programs, two repre- sentatives of the Polish Literary Society went over to Mr. Kirk, who has charge of the programs at Scott, to seek some information. Mr. Kirk not only supplied the necessary data, but offered to take over the responsibility of taking the copy to the printers, delivery and selling accomodations. What better example is there of courtesy? It is asplended thing to iind such willingness to help regardless of personal sacrifice. We thank you, Mr. Kirk, for showing us there are people like that. .........Jacqueline Wujriah A K0l'Df V?l m ONE GRAND AIM - By Marilyn Buyea Fathers, brothers, uncles, and many mothers' sons Are over there fighting with mighty dangerous guns, They'rs lighting for their countryg for you and for me: They're fighting for a nation they have always known as free.

The board of experts say the Bruins are riding for a fall and the fan in the stands hope that the tables are turning is inevitably against the Woodward victory chances. Comparing statistics and averages, the Bears' three won and five lost slate looking forlornly at a perfect seven straight record of the T minded Cowboys. Bears Face Phone Another phase of obscurity is Bob telephone Snyder and his walky- talky mike which offers just one more obstacle to the North Enders' cause. The phone system worked with re- sounding elfect on Central Catholic as the Western Avenuers rolled up a 33-7 score. The Krall-Jennings-Sarchiz trio combined with big block-busting Mel Breitner form the Blue and Gold backfield. The Orwig-Men have lately fea- tured a rugged double man in motion play with the equivalent formation stacking up on a par with the All- American T of Notre Dame. A strong forward with Co-Captain Tony Momsen, at Pivot spot offers an- other threat to the Bruins. Smith Counts On Regulars Coach Art Smith is counting on the regulars. Joe Frankowski, Jack Mc- Gill, Dick Aubry, and Chuck Lentz. Art's four horsemen will carry the weight in backfield while a host of reserves will save face. They are Jim Wilusz, Pete Irving, Bill Leon, and .lim Nelson. The Blue and White forward wall will start with Joe I Golden and Abe Haynes at the ends, Cal Duhart and Jim Babcock at the tackle positions, Bill Spath and Frank Nowak at the guards, with big Belt Harrison at center. This being the last game of the year the desk says every player will see action. Some worthy of mention are Cliff' King and Tom Osberher, two capable backfield substitutes, Chuck Allen, Jack Miles, Frank Jastrempski, Keith Packard are four good linemen 'who will also be in there fighting. ibig-..a...4...,.,.

Clark's lightweight football team making their last appearance of the year in their sin-gle wing form- ation fell for the hfth straight de- .fent Friday afternoon at the Waite reserve bow. The score was 'a de- vasting 26-0 loss for the Cubs. This marked the third time the light- weights have been beaten by that identical score. They are at the bottom of the reserve football circle with a record of 5 losses and no wins. The Cubs have failed to score in five trys at the grid competition of the city. Dick Merickel was the star for Blue and White yearlings as sparked them to a touchdown drive in the second half. The Waite touch- downs ffour of theinj came on passes, plunges, and around plays and interceptions. the he Merickel Gallops Merickel intercepted a redskin pass and galloped 65 yards before being pulled down on the Waite 15 yard stripe. A pass from Tom Grant to Wally Nowicki almost caused an- other score but afterwards an East Side interception followed with the resulting' runner racing 93 yards to score. The battle ended with Pilot Connie unleashing his reserve strength with Bing McCord playing a whale of a game at center in the place of Kon- ald Chubner, who was hurt earlier in the game. The reserve aerial attack hinged on the accurate arm of Tommy Grant, while the punning offensive was held together by P-Nuts Gasiorowski, Capt., and Skip Aubry. This was the last game of the cur- rent season for the lightweights. Libbey Quarterback States Fact By Sylvan Essick Five feet eight inches, 180 pounds of dynamite, with wavy brown hair and green eyes is in brief a descrip- tion of Johnny Sarchiz, Libbey senior, who occupies the quarterback slot on this year's victorious Cowboy eleven. Yes girls, he's ruggedfand how! With the pleasant task of inter- viewing Johnny ahead of me, I en- tered proud Libbey High and the lucky guy was excused from his French class as he was having a test. I think he's still shaking my hand. ,Just to get incidentals out of the way, John's favorite subject is wood- shop, spaghetti fespecially at Bob Snyder's Grilll satisfies his appetite, and Jean Clark, Libbey Senior, oc- cupies that special place in his heart! And he lives at 1835 Wayne Street, telephone number is 'WA. 6856 thintj. This is Mr. Sarchiz's second year on the varsity team, having come up with Krall, Jennings, and Breitner, the other three horsemen in the Lib- bey backfield. John also played var- sity basketball last year and expects to start again this coming season. Johnny is Sergeant-at-arms of the Quill-'n-Dagger Society showing he's also adaptable to school affairs. When not playing football, basket- ball, at home, or not with Jean fwhich is seldomj, he can usually be found at a certain drug store at Wayne and Ferry Streets where most of the team hangs out. He's a drug store Cowboy too. tGet the play on wordsl. .

Frankie Pinciotti and Johnny Jupe Juhasz figured prominently in the Central victory Friday night. Jupe's kicking kept the Bears well in their own territory during the battle while Midge Pinciotti ex- ploded with every new play proving himself an exception in the historic gridiron annals oftthe fighting Irish. Sonny Lentz gave Joe Molnar a headache with his quick kicks in the first half. Sonny .also ploughed through the Cherry Street secondary in the final quarter with devasting effect on the gish backeld. 'K Abie Haynes' glue-like fingers kept the Bruins in the game contin- ually as he snagged Lentz's passes for 30 and 38 yard gains. Abic is considered by the Ustaff' as the best end in the city. ,L ,, . The deadly tackling of Mansfield's Tygers had little or no affect on Jack Mollenkopf's squad at the Waite Bowl last week in the 21-13 victory registered by the Injuns. N Be-at Libbe Commenting on this Friday's game, John expects a win but says it will be no pushover. 'He ranks our line as one of the best in the city and states this year's Bear eleven is one of the finest in years. 1 Punting Features 'Entire Gameg Aubry Scores, E . For Bears e Sonny Lentz Passing played a prominent role in-last Friday night's game as the. Central Catholic high gridders eeked out a somewhat lucky victory over the Woodward Polar Bears 12-7, on the rain drizzled gridiron of Scott stadium. Punting Duel The first half happened to be a punting game, with the fans seeing some professional work on the part of Lentz and Juhasz. Several times when the Bears were deep in their own territory, Lentz pulled them out of the hole with a 50 or 60 yard out- of bound kick. Juhasz highlighted this with a kick. that covered about '70 yards. , Only one score took place in the first 24 minutes, that being a minute before the end of the half. After Pinciotti had intercepted a Lentz' pass, Joe Molnar then struck him with one on the thirty-five, with Ijin- ciotti galloping tothe ten, before he was stopped on a desperate tackle by the Bear center Bob Harrison. Sec- onds later Pinciotti uncorked an aerial to Molnar, who made a sensa- tional leap to score the first touch- down. Juhasz' conversion was blocked by the Polar Bear linemen. . Fighting Irish Score f ' Late in the third period the Irish again scored. This time Molnar passed to end Babione who was knocked out of bounds on the five, yard line. Juhasz tallied after Bay- ers had gained two yards on a -plunge. However, Woodward still Came back with plenty of power. Lentz intercepted one of Molnar's aerials and shook loose on a brilliant 40 yard return. Fullback Aubry then, bucked over from the one. A trick passplay from Lentz to Haynes set. up the 7th point. - Bears Threaten Minutes later the North Enders re- gained possession of the ball and Lentz again uncorked some passes. A beautiful pass to Haynes would have netted another score before long, but the Bears were penalized for offsides, after Haynes had reached the Irish 40 yard line. An,- other spiral was intercepted by Bay- ers who saved the Cherry Streeters with a 30 yard return. The game ended shortly after this. - Joe Frankowski happened to be Coach Smith's only replacement.

The straw vote taken Tuesday totaled 60 for Democrats and 10 for Republicans. Dungarees and big bright woolen shirts are quite the fashion for Wood- ward females. They are constantly seen in this attire at every football game, with the dungarees rolled up to their knees. Woodward's stamp club is getting recognition from all parts of the country. They recently received a letter of thanks from Miss Ruth C. Horwitz, acting Field Director at O'Reilly General Hospital, for the unusual stamps sent to their patients. Our team will engage in its final game of the season against Libbey tonight. I'm sure everyone, espec- ially the seniors, will want to see this closing tilt of the year. Mrs. Mary O'Brien received a letter from the Toledo Red Cross head- quarters announcing that the Christ- mas boxes have all been inspected, packed in wooden crates, and are now on their way overseas. The diamond on Rosemary Kolofi s third finger left hand verifies her en- gagement to Bill Vallas, former Woodwardite now in the Navy. The junior members of the Tattler staff have finally decided to hold their long awaited party for the seniors. This is their payment for being the losers in the magazine con- test between these two teams. The party will be held sometime next week. Approximately twenty-five girls journeyed to the Y.W.C.A. last week to take the patch test for tuber- culosis. Results of these tests taken by these junior and senior girls are not known as yet. Pictures of the varsity football players created quite a turmoil among the girls during the fifth hour lunch period. Apparently all of them wanted to purchase photos of their gridiron heroes. This is a new angle, James Miller claims he is constantly in a daze from staying up too late doing the homework. However we have learned differently. As a reward for being the higher salesmen of magazines in the contest between Miss Angela Abair's boys and the girls in Miss Blanche Hazel- ton's class, the boys received an ice cream treat on Tuesday, November 7. It is said that the girls lost by a small margin of one quarter of a dollar. Waite To Give Radio Drama Son's of the Admiral was the first program in the series of Let's Travel presented under supervision of Miss Dorothy Kellogg and Mrs. Lynn Sherman.

AT' PATTER Grant, Essick, New Soph, Junior P S Presidents, Plan Successful Year Arriving in this world about so many years ago and hailing from Riverside grade school is the hand- some, newly elected sophomore class president, alias, Tommy Grant. I -His favorite hobby and sport is football, and he is usually seen roam- ing thc Woodward halls with Har- lan Ray. n , Radio production rates high on his list of school subjects. He did not hesitate to mention that Miss Helen Marie Griffin is his favorite teacher. When asked about his most rel- ished dish, he quickly replied. ICG cream, and then very bashfully, Patty Garwacki, too. Tommy was an active member on the Student Council last year. l-le stated that he was glad to have been elected president of the sophomore class and hopes to carry out all of the duties required of a president. For the information of all you Woodward girls, Tommy lives at 1916 Michigan Street. For the boys inter- ested, he has two sisters, Emily and Jennie. , , Being a member of the lightweight football team, his main conversation is football. He is usually seen in the Galena district or at the Mystic. Tommy did his contribution toward the war by working at the Libbey Owens Glass Company during the summer. The cabinet is going to do its best to make this junior class the most successful in the history of Wood- ward, promises Sylvan Essick with a determined look in those dark eyes. The experience as vice-presi- dent of his class last year should prove helpful to this tiny mite of dynamite elected chief executive of the junior class. Besides being captain of the cheer- leaders, he is a member ofthe Hi-Y, and a reporter for the Tattler. As a special favor we promised to print his telephone number, LA. 2029, to remind a girl who forgets. fSay, that should bring a lot of business.J We might add he has black wavy hair. Although he worksf?J as a stock- boy at Tiedtkies, he finds time to play basketball on the Siglow Speed Mer- chants' team and to work on new cheerleader yells. The new polar bear cheer was o1'iginated by Syl and Stella Gussis, if senior. , -Syl is very proud of his brothers in service. They are: S!Sgt. Louis Essick, serving in France: Cpl. David Essick, in the South Pacific: and Pfc. Maurice Essick, serving in France. The latter was a former cheerleader. Oh yes, we promised to mention his sister Charlotte. Being former as- sistant editor of the Tattler, Syl at- tributes his literary talentf 'IJ to her. NORMAN COUSINS' REVIEW ATTENDED BY WUJCIAK, PART Norman Cousins, editor of the Sat- urday Review of Literature, addressed a group of persons on current liter- ature, last Saturday at the Town Hall meeting. Woodward was represented by Erwin Part and Dolores Wujciak. Few books- now being published can, hardly, be termed as literature, was the first significant statement made by Mr. Cousins. He then proceeded to review George Bernard Shaw's book Every- body's Political What's What and Forever Amber by Kathleen Win- sor. Mr. Cousins referred to the former book as a stew warmed over. Vari- ous experts read parts of the book and their reaction was the same. When they discovered it was written by Shaw they all seemed fearful that they had questioned the article. Shaw is a victim of his own method, stated Mr. Cousins. Current authors follow form rigid- ly, so much of this and so much of that. This includes everything ex- cept the kitchen sink. Now, even the sink is added. Forever Amber is just such a book, in Mr. Cousin's opinion. At the present the literary field is barren. Authors are interested in Hollywood contracts more than writ- ing a literary masterpiece. Among the worthy books Mr. Cousins mentioned were: Boston Adventure, by Jean Stafford: Time Must Have A Stop, by Aldons Hux- ley, and Night Unto Night, by Phillip Wylie. The last part of the discussion dealt with nonfiction books such as: Time For Decision, U. S. War Aims, and Road to Foreign Policy. Mr. Cousins attacked newscasters, aut-hors, and columnists for giving the American people a gloomy' outlook of the future. In his opinion, the people were on the brink of disaster on December 7, 1941, and he says that people with such a comeback can meet the problems of peace. On Saturady, George Marks, from Miss Louise Ti.ppet's class, and Joneal Renz, from Miss Edna McLaughlin's history class, will hear Napier Moore speak on Your Next Door Neighbor.

Matheny's Work Appreciated N THE recent program given by Mrs. Dorothy ' Matheny's third, fifth, and sixth hour everyday living classes the comparison of both good and bad speaking habits was made in an effort to show the audience what eEect each has upon listeners. The audience obtained information on speak in the class room, in a dean's office and at a banquet. - The program served a two fold purpose, first by giving the pupils a chance to exercrise what they have learned, and second, to acquaint the other students with the work they will do in these speech classes. This course is given to freshmen to make them speech conscious and to teach them better speech habits. Sophomores who have taken this course feel that it has helped them greatly in other sub- jects. -' ....-1...-111. Show Your Thanks I To The Yanks HE WAR is not over yet! Thousands of men are daily being inducted into the armed serv- ices an our boys serving overseas have not let down in their fighting. Why should you? What makes you think that it's time to quit? Your job is not completed until all of our boys are home and the world once more returns to peacetime living You still have bonds to buy and letters to write. These are two great sources of help, which ease our boys in their iight. Bonds buy the ammunition and letters act as a morale builder by keeping boys in contact with home and their loved ones. Write oftener and purchase more than ever before! Help the boys win a speedier victory. Keep Unity At School '. ITI-I malice toward noneg with charity for all, These great words of Abraham Lincoln have such a true application to the world with a meaning that could be interpreted in many diferent instances. The national election has just drawn toa close, yet ' the great divide between the people is no onger there. It has only provided a greater bond in the country. So with Woodward's senior class election. The campaign is over and once again the senior class is a united one: Keep this idea of unity always before you. What- ever side you may have been for, remember, you're an American and it is your duty to keep peace and unity in the country, at home, and at school. Is Ruth Obst still carrying the torch for that certain someone or has another wolf won her heart?

' In enumerating the accomplishments the army wished our boys to have, he particularly stressed what he called the Communication Skills and Ele- mentary Matbematics. h In talking about communication skills, he told how important it is for an inductee to be able to write legibly, read with understanding, to speak plainly, and to listen closely. Oftimes the .life uf the soldier and the lives of those around him may depend upon these skills. ' . A knowledge of elementary mathematics is nec- essary if the inductee is to become a good soldier. The fundamentals of arithmetic should be mas- tered. That is, the soldier should be able to com- fractions, decimals, percentageg be simple drawings, and understand pute common able to make formulas. A oints were brou ht out but the Many other p g , i Y concerned the fields that students are most likely to become proficient in since they are attained through sports. , Iam reporting this hoping that some of you boys and girls who do not like English and mathemat- ics, may be encouraged to give them more atten- tion. After all, we do need to use our native tongue in such a way that we may be readily understood. We need to write so that we and all others may read and understand. Our speech is our front door to the world and the world judges us by it. 1. .l.--1 Ode To Freshmen Fannie and Freddie Freshman have come to our school to stay, To dit about the corridors and generally lose their Way.

Our Subject---CARS The most Irv Black every got out of his car was-nine times in one mile. By the way some of our teachers drive, an angel is a pedestrian who jumped to late. Reminds me of the other day when I got knocked flat on my back by a hit and run driver. As Cal DuHart would say, I lay there moaning, and a Frenchman helped me up. In doing so he asked, Parlez-vous francias? Nope, I re- plied, Chevrolet coupe. I iinaily caught up to the guy that hit me though and I asked if he couldn't have gone' around me. With this ration- ing he didn't know if he had enough gas or not. It wasn't that he was driving to fast --- heck no, he was flying to low. That same day I had me old ja- lopy out and I'll be doggone if the tire wasn't flat on the bottomi Little Norbert Skeet Bonkowski asked, Have a puncture? Yours truly being a gen- tleman, politely said, No thanks I already have one. I finally managed to repair the tire and so I headed for the game at DeVilbiss driving like lightning-H always striking trees. A cop caught up to me just before I got there and had the nerve to say I was going sixty miles an hour when here I had been out for ten minutes. I arrived a bit lateat the game, and so, not want- ing to wast time I pulled right beside the little man inside said, Fifty cents. taking advantage of the bargain, I yelped, Sold. Thus, with no car to worry about I hugged m little shoesies and sang-- I don't want to walk without you, baby. , A I must say my prayers now- Dear Lord, I know I'm a bad boy, and I do wish you would help me to be better, and if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. - I' Y Y 7,757 -a,i...-- Meir.-V.,f - --- - - ---v-Y? .f- --f-. ----- ---7 ,-.i a -ww? -f-Y -- 7 - - F THE WOODWARD TATTLER Ta- BEARS TRAVEL T0 .

Ahie has completed four touchdown passes during' the sea- son to bring him to the top of the scoring column with 27 points which include three pass conversions. The team itself has accounted for 97 points as against 137 tallies nf the opposition. The Bruins scored 45 markers through the air lanes while the remaining 52 points came by rushing and interceptions. The aerial attack hinged on the strong right arm of Cham Lentz, who was per- petually on the sending end uf all the Polar passes. Art Responsible Under the able guidance of Coach Art Smith Woodward has come up with one of the best football teams since .the coaching days of Rollie Bevan. The standings have a record of three victories and six losses for SUCCESSFUL SEASON the Iiscal grid season of 44 . City league standings are and undoubtedly will remain after the turkey day games, with Libbey, firstg Central, second: Waite, thirdg Woodward and Scott deadlocked for fnurthg and De- Vilbiss fifth as cellar occupants. Art composed the team this season of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, with boys three deep for every position. Ends, Jack Kennedy, Abie Haynes, Jim Conley, Joe Golden, Ed Kiefer, and Jack,Waters: tackles, Chuck Allen, Cal DuHart, Jack Miles, Jim Babcock, Frank Jastrempski, and Keith Packardg guards, Bill Spath, Frank Nowakg center, Bebe Harri- son, and Dick Steger. The secondary was enforced by Aubry, Frankowski, McGill, Lentz, Seymour, Irvin, Wilusz, Leon, King, Osberger, and Nelson. The Tattler staff on behalf of the faculty and student body extends to Coaches Smith and Rugajewski, the team and athletic hoard, their most profound congratulations. May the squad of 45 do as well. DOPE CORNER By Bill Stewart E Leo Robie looks like he has a championship freshman team this year with five six-footers out for berths as well as a host of outstand- ing material. Here's hoping for an- other undefeated team this year, Leo. With old King Football fading from view it will be the cage game which will draw the crowds. Ma- comber, Woodward, and Libbey will be the big three to watch this year. The Lions of Cathedral Latin have no longer an uncrossed goal. The un- beaten, untied and unscored upon rec- ord is now only undefeated and un- equaled. Cleveland Central High were the first opponents to score on the Latin Club. The game Saturday was a hectic 104-6 victory for the parochials. ' e V Homer I-Ianham's varsity basket- ball quintet officially started practice Monday, November 13. With Lentz, Harrison, Seymour, Aubry, DuHart, Haynes, and Sloan returning from the past team of 43 and a number of capable reserves from Wilson Weis's lightweight team -the prospects are that the team may.equaI the great squad of last year. Bob Snyder, Libbey's assistant foot- ball coach, has a bid in for Jerry Krall at Notre Dame. There goes, in my opinion, another hopeful for the passing parade of All-American grid stars. Bowling has officially started. Libbey and Macomber rolled off at the Auditorium Saturday morning. The Woodward squad should be good with McGill, VanBarg, Bieniek, and Frankowski returning along with Szenderski, Sobecki, Gajewski, 'and Gribbin. Good Luck and Farewell, Senior Gridmen This football season has been a mighty 'successful one and every Woodwardite should be justly proud of all the boys who were responsible for this success. Let us remember that though only eleven boys were out on the field the remainder had to practice just as hard and long. To these unsung heroes, we pay tribute, and the senior boys we recognize, and bid it fond farewell. if ii H1 .

Ends Joe Golden and Howard' Haynes were removed from the game as a result of a dislocated shoulder, and sprained ankle, respectively. Up until that point thc South Enders could manage only one touchdown, that being on a plunge by Jerry Krall, just before halftime. When the next half started, the Cowboy eleven made good use of the ends, and thus set up their remaining scores. Two more were accounted for by Krall, one on 21.25-yard dash, and the other, on a 15-yard reverse play. End McNeil snagged a pass from Sarchiz to end the scoring parade. 5 Coach Smitlfs eleven surprised some 3000 fans in the second period -when fullback Aubry shot a spot pass to Haynes, who then lateraled to Golden who scampered 40 yards to pay dirt. After a little dispute with the offi- cials, the play was nulified as a result of an offsidc penalty' against the Polar. Bears. That was the only threat the North Enders had to offer for a score. In the latter stage of the game, Aubry reeled oil' some long yardage,' through the middle of the Libbey line, but time was too short to produce a touchdown. ' All in all, Sniitlfs gridders played some fine ball, but the power-laden Cowboys strengthened on each play. reeled off consecutive first downs, and the touchdowns resulted. , However, the Blue and White ended the grid season in a highly successful fashion as compared to previous years, by winning three city eague games, against six defeats, which were all by close margins. V TEACHERSQREADY , .e TO START HUNTING Pa LaRue hasn't missed an opening day of hunting for a good many years. Success awaits anyone who refuses to be discouraged. Once again Wood- ward warriors' have taken to the wars. Yes, 'the zero hour for invasion came at 11:00 this morning as rifles and white slips were handed out the army as they undertook the proceedings of the traditional H-day. - That's it kids! Hunting is once again taking the attention of WoodWard's faculty and students alike. Shooting at what ever they're shooting at wil be sharp-shooters C.C. LaRue, S.B. Crouse, Hugh Montgomery. Leo Robie, Law- rence Nuber, and probably a few new L'0lIlBl'B. . ' As Dick Aubry so ably puts it-- If I can't go hunting today, I'm gonna be awful sick Monday and Tuesday. ' e Reserves Complete Season L .C. Clark said the lightweight team . la ed its best defensive game against Eiblaeyihe city champions. He thinks the 30 boys that are getting lightweight letters will make good varsity material. These boys have been called up by Art Smith for practice during the last week of practice. Nursery Posters Made 3 Miss June Anderson's seventh hour art class made posters representing nursery rhymes for Miss Angela Abair's nursery school. , Students that entered posters werei Thomas Grsbowski, Catherine Costello, Daniel Nowak, Virginia Wiess, Chester, Berendt, Stella Lejzu and Bonnie Lou s ..

Bree- man, 104, cfo FPO, New York, N. Y. mrkonucmc CHARLES LENTZ 'dw' Coincidences do happen. It just so happened that Charles Lentz, better known as Sonny, was to be inter- viewed this week, because he is presi- :lent of Woodward's Engineering So- ciety. Since the senior class elections, 'hero is another purpose for inter- viewing this lad with a dynamic per- sonality and hard to beat physique. A spark plug on the gridiron squad and the Woodward five, he was re- cently elected president of the senior class. Not only is Chuck outstanding in athletics, but also in scholastics for he is ,a member of Woodwa-rd's National Honor Society. The height of 5' 9 , blond wavy hair, and en- trancing blue eyes are only a few of the reasons why many girls are so attracted to Sonny. l Due to the fact that Chuclds main attention is to be an engineer, his favorite subject is math, in wlnch he is a wizard. When asked about.col- lege, his reply was that he d1dn't know because Uncle Sam might get him first. ' . You usually see Chuck with Don Leopold and Clem Nowak. To keep up as high a standard as previous senior class presidents and close cooperation from every semor member are Sonny's hopes for this year's,upper class. ,i... -.-.1- -Address of a '42 grad: Cpl.

LL-' Students representing Woodward at the Town Hall meeting held i11 the Commodore Perry ballroom Saturday morning were J oneal Renz and George Marks. Napier Moore, editor of Machan's magazine, talked about Your Next Door Nei ghborf' Mr. Moore started out by saying, Canada should not be judged by a first glimpse. To appreciate Canada one must settle down in one of its towns and learn of its beauty from the everyday happenings. Having traveled much he has found out that little is known about the elementary matters of Canada. To elucidate he went on to say, There are 3,500,000 square miles in Canada. Only two other countries are larger, China and Russia. Not only is she third in size, but ranks thirty-fifth in population. She passes her own laws, and makes her own treaties. He stated that Canada is now under a liberal government. The whole thing has gone crazy, different governments in different states, was his statement about the' government situation in Canada now. The Canadians have compulsory education and for the first time in their history the women have been able to vote. There are two ways in which Canada raises money to build and carry on the war, victory bonds and taxes. Incidentally sixty percent of the bonds are held by individualists, not by large companies, factories, etc. Although Canada has only a population of 1l,500,000, she has done a war job equal to that' of a nation of 25,000,000. He then went on, giving examples. U A great problem facing Canada, he went on to say, is how she is going to take care of 1,000,000 service men and 1,500,000 people in factories that have never worked before the war. Canada and America should devise an economic center. I Another tense moment in Mr. Moore's lecture was his relating to the building of a dam. In the dead of winter the Canadians had to shift a river. The dam, which should have been built in four years, was constructed in two. I Miss Renz and Mr. Marks both agreed that what Mr. Moore tried to point out was that the Canadians understand us, but we do not understand them. Tomorrow, Don Higley, of Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's class, and Janet ,-Grunst, of James Pollack's group, will hear Dunninger, master mind reader. CALL ARMS l Lt.

X . ! 1 L. Vol. XVII Toledo, Ohio, December 1, 1944 . No. 11 V A.FENADY, D. CLARK ATTEND TOWN HALL? L. BROWN E SPEAKS It is a real pleasure to watch and listen to Lewis Browne, for not only does he teach as he speaks, but en- tertains as well, this was Andy Fe- 11ady's comment on the Town Hall Lecture of November 25. Donna Clark, who also attended, stated, He gave me more of an understanding of our novelists. Mr. Browne, who has made his home in the United States, although he was born in England, is the author of the most popular book on religion in North America, This Believing World. - The speaker's topic was, What Our Novelists are Saying. V He claimed that many of the successful modern writers actually say nothing, they merely provide escape. The same theme or plot is used again and again by these up to date authors. Rates Sinclair High 111 connection with other literary men, Mr. Browne classed Upton Sin- clair among the best, with John Steinf beck and Ernest Hemingway. Mr. Sinclair's World End, has succeeded in putting him back on the list of best sellers. Ernest 1-leminiway is not import- ant for what he as to say, but for the wav he says it. He has taken Watsonls theory of behaviorism and put it into writing. Of Theodore Drieser, the speaker mentioned, DrieSer looks down on the earth as though he were a God. The author's concluding statement was The success of books and novel- ists depend on the people who read them. More people should read good books. Camille Liebovitz and Dale Rodenv hauser will atttend the lecture to- morrow, when they will hear Paul Manslip, who-speaks on Sculpture in the Making. DUNNINGEIPS POWER AMAZES STUDENTS ' Students representing Woodward at the Town Hall meeting held at Ma- comber High School auditorium, Sat- urday evening were Janet Grunst and Don Higley. Speaking on Mysteries of the Telepathic Mind Joseph Dunninger, a mind reader, demonstrated his un- usual powers during the entire pro- gram, to a very startled audience. He claims that he is not a fortune teller or a medium, and does not possess supernatural ability. Being very modest about his gifts, he stated that he could give no form- ula for success, but most E people could achieve the same powers through constant practice. Mr. Dun- ninger is credited with being the only man practicing telepathy for the past twenty-five years. , As a child his parents discovered his talents, and little by little de- veloped this art. Not all persons are receptive to thought readings, according to the speaker. He set the figures of those who are, at a ratio of seven to ten. This mind reader has offered 310,000 to anyone who can affect a spiritualist phenomenon, he cannot reproduce or explain in convincing, in materialistic terms. A native of New York, this was his first visit to Toledo. Janet and Don both agreed that, Mr. Dunninger is not a hoax and that his Work is very amazing. , ..,..

' ,,.1.......,..,-.-i Seniors Lead With Working Permits At the date 168 of the 1,739 students now enrolled in Woodward have work- ing permits. The girls have the major- ity with 137 to the boys' 31. We also iind the seniors wit.h more permits as far as grades are concerned. The seniors have 829 the juniors, 443 the sophomores 273 and the freshmen, 15. This is prob- ably due to age restrictions. All the boys having permits are working away from home. Thirty-one of the girls are helping mothers with the family. , In order to secure a working permit you must have your parent's or gaurd ian's consent. Most important are your grades, they must be passing and as long as grades are up to standard the working permit is good,but as soon as they drop the permit is withdrawn. FRESHMAN HEROINE AIDS 3 CHILDREN When Yvonne Johnson, Woodward freshman, came to school and told her teachers that her text books had burned up so that she couldn't do her home work, fellow students merely snickered at this much-told tale. However, this time it was true. Only the night before, Tuesday, No- vember 2, Yvonne had carried two brothers and a sister from their burn- ing home. Three year old Carole had upset an oil lamp in the bedroom. The blaze proving to be too much for her, Yvonne carried Carole, Ronald. one year old, and Bryce, five months old, to safety. y Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and five other children were not at home when the mishap occurred. u Speaking in a very'friendly man- ner, Miss Johnson revealed that she likes all her teachers, enjoys good parties, and-Danny Kaye and Bob Hope rate top billing ori her list of favorite comedians.

Congratulations Student Council TUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS throughout the years have conducted various campaigns to better conditions in Woodward High School. These have been carried out with enthusiasm and effectiveness, making the students proud of the fact that they attend Woodward. During the last few years the Student Council has once more stepped forward to take over the task of selling war bonds and stamps. Several weeks ago the council members were confronted with the task of putting on some sort of mass meeting to put enthusiasm into the hearts ot the stamp buyers who had slackened ,and failed to do their part. With- out any supervision from faculty advisor they pre- sented a rally which was one of the most effective we have ever witnessed. The members of this organization are to be con- gratulated on their splendid work and with co-op- eration from everyone the goal can, and will be reached. Actions Speak Louder Than Words EOPLE talk about the American Way and take pride in the fact that they are living that way. It's always taken for granted that we are doing a good job in this struggle, but in most cases the credit goes to the same few, that over and over make sacrifices. This same thing is happening right here in Woodward. Only a few people are regularly giv- ing up their luxuries to buy stamps and bonds.The rest talk about it. Don't ride in on the other fellow's glory. It's time to start doing and helping. Only that way can we honestly' say we live the American Way. One Fourth Students Hold F's , RE you guilty? Well, are you? Did: you help earn any of those 715 F's this quarter? Al- - though many students proudly presented good grade cards to their parents, one fourth of Woodward displayed encircled F's. Of course, there is always the excuse of working after school, but absenteeism and not doing homework play leading roles in the grades of a Woodward student. So come on kids get down to work and make your pay check for next quarter a good oie. Try to get the most of your education and make the America of tomorrow a better place to live in. Junior Ring ' ' Sales Show Faith HREE hundred and sixty junior class rings were purchased this year. Because of the labor shortage, those who bought them will have to wait until April or May before receiving them. Floyd Lords, in charge of the ring committee, is asking the juniors to have their moneyready when the rings do come. - The number of students buying shows that they have enough faith in Woodward and are proud to wear their rings. , OPEN AND SHUT ' WANTED: Eligible males for the Zet Christmas formal dance by a few bashful members in 119, where ANYONE can apply first hour.

Hunters Bag A Rare Bit Did you know Woodward has two big game hunters. They are Dick Aubry and Bill Leon. These two hearty lads went tramping through the woods when they came upon two ferocious animals. They aimed their guns and shot. Monday these two out- door lads brought their game to school to their cooking class. Dick and Bill cleaned them, dressed them, cooked them, and for lunch ate them. After they finished their lunch they said the RABBIT was very good.

Here goes for the second sport season. Macomber: Cal Christensen, Danny Sutkus, Dick Yonkee, and Mel Schultz compose the vets on the Mechanic out- fit. Ardner has a rugged group of pot- shots coming up from lightweights. Central: Coach Mouch will have a problem picking a first string with Molnar, Pinciotti, Juhasz, Wells, Schrnenk, and a host of championship reserves returning. Waite: Pilot Doc Fetters is liable to spring a fast aggressive quintet on the city league leaders. Joe Durst will be the man to watch. The East Siders are dead-eyes on long shots. ' Scott-Libbey: Both teams seem head- ed for a mediocre season. For the Bull- dogs, Jack Daschner and Leon Jones, seniors, will be in the limelight, while McGee, Momsen, Sarcbiz, Keholm, and Ashley will be under the Cowboy spotlight. Devilbiss: Bob Brown is expected to lead the bengal parade. Bobby is the top scorer expected to reach the Tiger varsity pedestal. Bert Fike is also expected to be a bang-up player at guard position. College Shorts: Ohio State's 18 to 14 conquest of Michigan last Saturday, was one of the country's most surprising thrillers. Michigan's ten man line failed to slow Horvath down as he plunged his way to the wininng score. Notre Dame has founda good replace- ment for Bob Kelly in Jim Brennan, 155 pound speedster, who has helped N.D. to the last two victories. Over 52,000 fans saw Cleveland Latin's state champ grid team roll to a 32-0 vic- tory over Lincoln in the annual charity game. Libbey is still waiting to here from Latin for a post season game. Although fini hing a perfect season, Ohio State couldn't make the Rose Bowl game. Tennessee was the team to receive the next bid to face the Tro- jans of Southern California. Merri Macs And Polarettes Tied For Top Place In League Terminating the second game of the girls' intra-mural afterschool volleyball tournament, the Merri Macs battled against the Volleyettes, defeating them 32-26, while the Polarettes handed the J.A.U.G.'s a 36-24 defeat. The X team was on the long end of a 35-31 score against the Fire Devils. Captains of the various teams par- ticipating in the tournament are: Merri Macs, acting captain, Volley- ettes, Harriet Longg J.A.U.G.'s, Myr- tle Brooksg Polarettes, Beatrice Sin- kowskig Fire Devils, Lillie Buddgand the X's, Rose Marie Hanna. The Merri Macs and the Polarettes are tied for first place, having 2 wins and no losses to their credit. With 1 win and 1 loss are the X's and the Volleyettes. Holding the cellar position are the Fire Devils and the J.A.U.G.'s, with 0 wins and 2 losses on their chart.

The Little Giants' rugged zone defense didn't mean a thing in last year's scrimmage as the Blue and White ran rampant with a score set- tling in the hundreds. Pilot Homer Hanham has seven re- turning lettermen in Paul Seymour and Bob Harrison, forwardsg Cal Du- liart, center: with Howard Haynes, Chazz Lentz, Frank Sloan, and Dick Aubrey at the guard positions, with two reliable substitutes there to fill in if necessary. Also two sen- iors, Jim Nelson and Dan Bieniek, are up from Wilson Weis's reserve edi- tion. Cal Katz, leading scorer from the lightweights and Syl Kosakie- wiecz, who team with Bill Leon, Clif- ford David, Irvin Mower, and Leo Scalia to form the junior varsity squad are expected to be in there. The Little Giants have five return- ing letter earners with guard Bob Demmel, who leads the Purple and White scoring parade in both cage and grid contests, and Don Inks, last lyear's football, basketball, and shot- putter deluxe. This is a tough game in comparison with season opener Tuesday at Clin- ton, Michigan. Woodward's first loss in cage competition came in the sea- son's first out of town encounter with Findlay last year, but the Polar Bears will be on their toes tonight and the proverbial fan in the stands says Woodward to win, but don't count your buckets until the bell buzzes. Since this is an inter-regional game it does not count in city league stand- ings but the Bears' record among the state's comparisons may be helped or hindered, depending upon the outcome of tonight's contest. BEAR GRIDDERS SEE MICHIGAN GAME A gift from the Athletic board for ending a successful football season Woodard's entire grid team traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, November 18 to witness a big ten battle 'between Michigan and Wisconsin. Bus for players only, provided the transportation to and from the stadium. Concerning game the results, Mich igan. emerged as victors by winning 14 to 0 in a hard fought battle. On the first play of the game, Wolverine half back, Bill Culligan took a lateral from quarterback Ponsetto, and galloped 80 yards for a touchdown. However, Wisconsin fullback Tomp- son, received the kickoff and raced 77 yards but was halted on the seven, where the Badger attact stalled, ending the scoring threat. Six faculty members arranged to go, including A. J. Brown, C. Van Tassell, Leo Robie, L.C. Clark, Art Smith, and Benny Bugajewski.

Entire Team Plays Well Seymour, Aubry Aid Scoring Homer Hanham and company rolled over a Clinton, Michigan five to the tune of 49-19 Tuesday night in the Michigan gym. The Redskins' vaunted zone defense crumbledbefore the Woodward cage onslaught. Bob Harrison sparked the Bruins' victory charge with a .16-point of- fensive which helped keep the Bears out in front. Tommy Gillman was the big gun in the Redskins' attack as he roamed the court with his rangy 6'4 frame and accounted for six of the Red andtBlack points. Zone Defense Baffling The Toledoans were confined to a zone defense due to the smallness of the opponents' court. Every member of the squad saw action as the Polars ran rampant on a concentrated scor- ing barrage which exploded with a new burst of glory every time Paul Seymour and Dick Aubry came near the bucket. Gigantic Cal DuHart floated in the pivot position to hold down Jim Gillman, the twin center of the Michiganders. Frankie Sloan held the Blue and White defense on max- imum par of the offensive as he tossed in long potshots from the center-iioor mark. Sonny Lentz and Howard Haynes were stellar per- formers at the guard positions. The reserves kept up the scoring as Cal Katz, and Irvin Mower swished hooks from the door with ease. A In the preliminary the lightweights defeated the Clintonians in a rough and tumble slugfest in which Jim Nelson and Dan Bieniek led the attack. Lineup V Clinton Woodward T. Gillman R.F.

BLUETI'-IEAM LEADS SCHOOL BOND DRIVE Leading the War Bond drive in the purchase of bonds and stamps is the Blue team with the total of 355,036.00 The White team follows with 52,- 835.00. Altogether the whole school has 357,871.00 and still has 35,000.00 to go before the goal is reached. Charts made by Clem Nowak of W. F. Rohr's class were put up re- cently near the stamp booths of both teams. Last week seven rooms qualified for the 90'Z: flag. They were: Miss An- gela Abair, Miss June Anderson, Miss Helen Marie Griffin, Mrs. Catherine Manton, R. K. Sheline, Paul Thomae, and Miss Dorothy Warner. The following composition written by Dave Sayger, carried the prize of war stamps in Miss Dorothea Bishop's English class. One of the other win- ners was written by Leemond Steele. The War Bond Game Let's make buying war bonds and stamps a game, a football. He1'e's' the way I think it works. Uncle Sam's team, that's us, have come face to face with our toughest enemy, the Axis. The score is 6 to 6 in the fourth quarter and about thirty seconds left of play, it's our ball. The ball is centered to you, the war bond buyer. You fade back to pass, you find your receiver, the fighting man out on every war front. You toss him a long' forward pass, it's completed and he's off. Oh, but wait a minute. There's-Hitler trying to stop him and that's a very bad mistake because here is where war bonds go into effect. Two war bonds equaling billions of dollars do perfect blocking and that is all of Hitler. Herohito decides he is going to stop our man, but this too is a had idea. Two more war bonds equaling more billions of dollars take him out very cunningly and now our man is in the clear and the battle is won for and by the United Nations. Let's finish this game we've started by buying more and more war bonds and stamps. Girls Aid In Christmas Rush In cooperation with the Retail Mer- chant Association, regular part time girls will work in the downtown stores during the weeks of December fourth and e1eventh.They will be divided into two groups, the first group will work full or part time one week, and the second group wili do the same the following week. A list ofthe girls names will be plaodd on the bulletin board for the information of the teachers. CALL ARMS Next week Thursday, December 7, is Pearl Harbor Day. In solemn rev- erence we dedicate this column to those men who have died in battle since that day. ' Frank Piasecki wrote to William Rohr recently. Frank, a '43 grad, is now in the Central Pacific with the marines. It was a solemn and sad occasion for Frank when he Saw the grave of Ed Paradysz, who was killed in action this past summer. Ed and Frank played football together while here at school. However, Frank had one bit of good news- a lot of Japs have seen their ancestors due to the outfit Ifm in. Cyril Cole, Woodwardite, left for the navy recently. Richard Foran, AJS U.S.N.R. V-12, Box 37, Milligan College, Milligan, Tennessee. Cpl. Danny Gnotek was reported seen maneuvering about the North End while home on furlough recently. Thought for this week: Don't forget those gold stars on Woodward's service flag. Those boys gave their very best. Now it is up to everyone of .us to help shorten the war by buying as many stamps and bonds' as possible. Every stamp and every bond counts i.n helping to bring back all the rest of the boys who are still fightnng. Let's not fail them. Here are some of Woodward's gold star names: Joe Cook, Jack Smalley, William Bancroft, Ted Walczak, Leon- ard Olender, Jack Schoenfelt. Ed Walasinski, Lowell Weaner, William Mack, Toufy 'Zurob, and Ed Para- dysz. There are others too. Many of them your friends. Words are not enough. It's action that counts now. That means buying more stamps and more bonds every day. New address: Raymond Leslie Geiser, Sf2C, Group 24, U.S.N.A.B. P.O., San Bruno, Calif.

Woodward Passes Success kids! Woodward has reached 316,000.00 in sale of stamps and bonds. This means 34,000.00 more than the goal set by the stu- dent council. Consequently Wood- ward will have name-plates on two scout cars which will see actual serv- ice overseas. up at it Woodward will wave a 90111 flag as soon as ninety per cent of the stu- dent body buys at least one stamp a week.

From Woodward, Dale Rodenhauser and Camille Leibovitz attended.. Not only was Mr: Manship a very distinguished speaker, but he also demonstrated as he spoke. Although his time was limited, the Hgure upon which he worked bore a definite re- semblance to the original when he Hnished. His model for the demon- stration was Mrs. James F. Lewis. Though Mr. Manship stated that he likes his subjects to converse with him as he sculptured, so that he can note facial expressions, Mrs. Lewis apparently was not the talkative type since she did not speak at all. To do a really commendable piece of work, Mr. Manship likes to make two portraits of the model, compare them, and then make the third and final one. Art is an open book, Mr. Man- ship said. In times of peace, one can study the art and period and country in libraries throughout the world. Studied Abroad When Mr. Manship went to Cario some years ago he studied their an- cient sculpture done in plaster. In his opinion, the method of sculpturing has improved very little since the days of the ancient Egyptians. Mr. Manship further asserted that if sculpture is broken or destroyed, it cannot be reproducedg for it is done in the scu1ptor's own technique. His model brings out the mood he is in his attitude toward it. ' Throughout the performance, Paul Manship mingled humor with serious- ness to hold the attention of the au- dience.

Willingness lo cooperate in all activities was one ny' her greatest assets. A member of the Zets for two years, she was eleclcd lo the cabinet as treas- urer this year. She also was chosen to serve on the Program Committee of the Senior Class. Frannie sang with the choir at St. Panl's Lutheran Church where she was a m.ember.- ' Taken ill at home last week, she be- came worse, and was rushed lo'the,hos- pilal. Monday afternoon at 4:14 she succumbed. Surviving are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Dyerg sisters, Alice and Dor- othy. who attended Woodward, and brothers, Raymond, Arthur, and Joseph.

T MANY high school sport activities, such as football and basketball, it is sometimes evi- dent that a feeling of poor sportsmanship prevails among the students. We, no doubt, have been guilty of such actions at one time or another. True, we are all eager for our school to be the vic- tor in the contest. This does not mean, however, that we should protest rudely when the game is not proceeding in our favor. Referrees at all ath- letic contests must be approved by the coaches of both teams. They are chosen as such becaues of their ability to judge each play fairly and without prejudice toward either side. Why should we, who lack the knowledge of many game rules, challange the decisions of these men who are familiar with all the rules and regulations of all sports? . With the opening of the city basketball season, let us all oonsider the feeling of the referree. Let the time never come when our students will be ac- cused of displaying poor sportsmanship. .i.,1.i1.1... iNo Reason For Tardiness ARDINESS is usually the fault of a lagging student who remains in class after the bell talking to a favorite teacher or idling in the halls, but oftentimes the teacher is to blameg for some of them still persist in keeping students af- ter class, giving those last minute assignments or finishing just one last paragraph of a lesson. Recently the gym alibi has gained popularity witih some students, who think they can use the old shower excuse as-a reason for being late. Principal LaRue has stated that this e.:cuse should not be accepted, saying that pupils are being given ample time to take a shower and get to class before the bell. In short, teachers must learn to stop students and must learn to GO WITH THE BELLS. Thanks To Those Who I-Ielp At Games VERY year a club volunteers to take care of 'concessions before and after basketball games. It's hard to realize what ajob this is until you begin to do it. . Last year the Aeolian Club took charge of the dances and the Zetalethean Literary Society sold potato chips during the game. So far this year, there is no definite club to take charge of these duties, but whoever it will be, they deserve every ounce of credit for that big under- taking. - Students- - Attend Mettings LUB PRESIDENTS have been confronted with the problem of attendance at meetings. Excuses are abundant, but members are not. Clubs cannot be expected to function properly and carry out their club activities ifinterest and enthusiasm are not displayed by the members. When it is time for taking pictures or decorating for a dance everyone seems to be there, eager to get in. Don't let fellow members work out all the problems. Oifer assistance and give suggestions to your club president. Make it a point to stay for meetings and help your club to be outstanding. I . PRINCIPAL POINTS I li 0PEi5r AND SHUT X December 7 was the third an- -,,.. Q.: ,. A - R nivereary of the sneak attact by the J aps upon Pearl Harbor. You and I even today do not realize what a devastating blow M EX fb, V 1,54 ,fvwfg NW .W Xl' that was. Practically every bat- r telship, cruiser, aud destroyer in gf , Pearl Harbor, was damaged and X it ' K, some of them were sunk. Our 41' ,K fyspglgg planes were destroyed on the 5 ground. Many of our sailors and fliers were killed before they had a chance to even gfgin to iight back. It was a sickning and stunning ow. The Japs who made this dastardly attack did not rightly estimate the caliber of the American spirit. Instead of crumpling up and commiting hari kari as the Japs themselves would have done, the sur- vivors came out of this attack fighting madf' The entire nation settled down immediately to the busi- ness of war with the grim determination to wipe the little brown man from the map. Our Brst months were discouragingg in a fight such as this, the advantage of the iirst few rounds is always to the one who gets the Hrst blow. With almost no opposition except that at Bataan the hordes of blood thirsty Jap overran all the islands of the South Pacific and were halted only a few short miles from Australia. Today as we reverently remember not only the boys who died at Pearl Harbor but all those who have given their lives since that time, the picture is entirely changed. Germany is almost ready for the knockout blow. Our forces fighting the Japs have pushed them back almost to the front door of Tokyo. It is a tribute to the everlasting Yankee genius and speed that in the recent navel battles of the sea surrounding the Phillipines the same vessels that were so severly damaged at Pearl Harbor took sweet vengeance on the Japanese fleet. We can now see the end of Japan. It is an island Empire and no island Empire can long survive without a formidable battle fleet as well as mil- lions of tons of cargo shipping to bringin supplies. According to navel experts, Japan, because of our recent naval victories over her, has been reduced to a fifth rate naval power. Let us hope that when we observe Pearl Harbor Day in 1945 that she will have no rating in battle strength on the sea and no armies left on land. CAMPING OUT Hi Woodwardites!

After a sluggish start, the Wood- ward ball of. fire began to roll, as Sc-ymour and Harrison hit successive shots to put them in the lead at the quarter, ll-7. Harrison again let loose with his dangerous push shot, scoring the only two buckets for the Bears in the second frame. However, the Giants managed to match the oppon- ents. as Inks :md Darr connected on fielders to bring the Giants within five points of the Woodwardites, who led at the halftime, 15-10. - Duliart, Harrison Score Again Hanham's boys began an at- tack with precision timing, as they look control of the ball for the third and fourth quarters, capitalizing on every mistake that the Fremonters made. The size of Woodwardis team played a prominent role in the game, as Dullart followed up in fine fash- ION. Harrison scored clewen more points in the remaining quarters, and was replaced by Syl Kozakowicz, who played a good game and also con- tributed four points to the score. Center Darr of the Ross cagers led his team with 12 points. .i.. .-.--.- Miller And Bieniek High Scorers In Libbey Games Woodward's American League Bow- lets won their first three games last Saturday over Libbey. Mike Miller ran up a total score of 488 to lead the de- fending champions. Closely following was Skippy Smith, who garnered a 485 which was 8 points more than Captain Norm Sobecki's 477. Ray and Joe Am- box-ski stayed above the 400 Point mark garnering 441 and 404, respectively. The Nationals also came across with a win over Libbey's Keglers as Dan Bieniek rolled up a 521 total to lead his team to victory. Dave Gribbin and Joe Frankowski bowled in good form garnering 491 and 441 totals. Captain Ralph Gajewski scored 371, while Bill Leon, participating in two of the three matches had a total of 295. Gene Wint- 1555 who substituted for Leon made a Competiiton To Be Tough Opposition in city competition proves to be much tougher this season than last. Cage crews from Libbey, Macom- ber, Scott and Waite should rally to present the most upsetting if not the most thrilling high school basketball league in many years. Juniors See Action For a short time in the Fremont battle Coach Hanhsm played an all junior squad. Calvin Katz, Bill Leon, Leo Scalia and Irvin Mower were the juniors who along with Big Syl play- the dying moments while the seniors took lessons from the bench. G. Kanny Now at Libbey Miss Gertrude Kanny, former English teacher at Woodward is now teach- ing at Libbey high school. Her duties ere the same as those she performed here, having freshman classes, lunch duty, and study hall. Miss Kenny says the students and teachers are very friendly and she believes she will enjoy working at Libbey very much. Woodward Meets Libbey In City League Opener Tonight Libbey's problem of switching over from a T minded offense to a zone defense will meet its initial test to- night in the Wlidward gym. The pre-game dope on the Golden Cow- boys says it includes tough opposi- tion as a rangy group .of cage as- pirants gather for the lirst city league encounter. Returning are Reggie McGee and Melvin Young, dead-eyes at forward positions, along with skyscraping, 6'4 Paul Ridenour, the pivot man of the squad. Guards Tony Momsen and Bill Toepfer, the latter of whom is up from the reserves and stands 6'1 are hold-backs against the Blue and White title hopes. Likely reserve prospects who will see action are senior Larnell Liggens, and sophs Rubelle Ashley and Bob Keholm. ' McGee Potential Threat Lil' Reggie McGee, the five foot, five stick of sharp shooting dynamite who ran up a score of 20 points against the state runners-up last year in the first meeting, will be in the South Side lineup. Also 6'2 Mel Young, the Blue and Gold long and hook shot specialist is also one of the men the fan in the stands will be watching for. The Western Avenue zone defense mainly consists of allowing the op- ponent to shoot after rushing the shot and then after gaining ball pos- session, proceeding to get the bucket. Homer's probable starting lineup will be Paul Seymour and Bob Har- rison at forwards, Cal Duhart at center, Cham Lentz and Frank Sloan at guards. The Bears fully primed after three warm-up contests With Clinton, Fre- mont and the Bowling Green Falcons will enter the fray minus injuries and obstacles. All in all the South Siders are not to be under-rated or estimated. This writer's predictions of Wood- ward over Clinton by 30 points and the Bears over Fremont by 15 mark- ers have thus far come out absolutely right but no predictions come out of the hat for toni ht's battle but be ' s here at game time and see for your- self. 1944-45 Basketball Schedule 'P Date - Opponent Place Dec.

Boysg Bears Drop First Tilt Playing without the services of rangy first string center Cal Dulrlart seemed to hamper the Woodward Polar Bears as they dropped their first game of the season, 36-30, to Bowling Green State University's B team. The Monday night contest featured more than an exhibition of basketball. At many times throughout the game both teams scrambled for the ball and it looked as if they were starting an off tackle drive on the floor. After two or thre minutes of some rough and tumbleness, Leo Kubiak started the scoring with a foul shot, and seconds later swished a beautiful one-hander to give B.G. a three-point lead. Bob Harrison, who was switched from forward to center because of the absence of DuHart, sank two quick goals to put the Bears ahead 4 to 3. From then on the score see-sawed back and forth until the final out- come. Score Tied At Half At the half the score was knotted at ten points apiece. When the third quarter began, B.G. came back with a hot streak and scored eight points before the Polar Bears found themselves. Then some quick fielders by Sloan, Seymour, and Aubry, brought them within two points of the college players. After a time out, Lentz and Harrison hit fouls to tie the score again. The third quarter ended with a 20-20 d dl k. ea oc Woodward took over again with Harrison and Lentz connecting to give them a slight lead. Tom Inman, re- entered the game, and it wasn't long until B.G. started to roll. Inman hit several buckets at crucial moments, and iced the game for the college boys. The game finally ended with the Bears tasting defeat, 36-30. Kupiak and Inman each netted '7 points for B. G., while Harrison topped the losers with 10 points.

Up to the minute news finds this seemingly quiet lass deep in the heart of Christmas party plans for her fel- low Lationians and hard at work on the language club's dance. When she is not at home slaving on her favorite subject physiology, she is always to be found with Janet Grunst, either at Edith's Sweet Shoppe on Galena Street or attending some Innnanual Lutheran Young People's activity. We hear that she had a very amiable role of Ceres, a' colored maid in the church play. Bowling Green University, where she intends to study teacher's course, figures prominently in her plans for the future. .Com limenting her beautifully knitted, gloves, we learned that she not only knitted gloves, but sweaters also. Her other artistic abilities are playing the piano ffew people know thisj and baking cakes. In case you wish a description of Joyce, she has light brown hair, blue eyes, and stands 5'3 . By the way, she claims that she has not decided on her escort to the Zet Christmas formal dance as yet.

I ' We start this week off with some inside info on Walter J. Stobinski, '43 grad who is now in France. In a re- cent letter to W. F. Rohr, Walter stated that he would have many inter- esting stories to tell of places he has been when he returns home. One of his buddies in the outfit speaks fluent French and as a result he learned about the hard time the French had under the German occupation. Like most boys in service Walter appreci- ates letters from home. Pvt. Walter J. Stobinski, 3522908l, Co. B, 361st Eng. regt.., APO 5942, cfo Post- master, New York, N.

A basketball and football luminary of last year, Alex could only utter, Gosh, I can't believe it. It's great to ,be back. Alex was right in the thick of fighting-the invasion of France. He and two other soldiers were given the task of blowing out a tank that was coming down the road. They were i.n a -muddy fox hole waiting for the ap- proaching tank. The time came and the three G.I. Joes attacked. Two of them took out the tank-Alex had been hit by a piece of shrapnel when he -had begun to emerge from the hole. ,As he lay theme in pain, he no- ticed that his two buddies had left. Al made a run for it across the field. Alex got the Purple Heart for being brave. Most of all, we pat Alex on the back for being modest. Alex would.n't tell this reporter how IT happened. Our source of informa- tion came from his brother. Sergeant Viertlebeck, if he gets a discharge, which is likely, plans to join all his buddies back here at good old Woodward, and take up his schooling again. Pk PF Pi: Cpl. Franklin N.

During the question periodi that fol- lowed,Mr.Shackne explained the ideal planned city. It would consist of a sup- er block made up of six orleight city blocks. Houses will occupy the outer part of this land, while the rears of all the houses will be converted into a park.

HAYNES AWARDED ALL-STATE HONOR v Howard Haynes Howard Abie Haynes, Wood- ward's football, basketball, and track star deluxe, was chosen among the states outstanding grid athletes re- cently by the Associated Press ami International News Sports Dispatch- es. Abie was given honorable .men- tion along with end Ed McNeill of Libbey and halfback Steve Contos of Waite. Howard excelled at 'end posi- tion for the Polar Bears, and scored 27 of the Blue and White points this season. His scoring threats began in the first Libbey contest when he snagged a Lentz pass ,in the end zone to score Woodward's lone touchdown. As well as leading the Bruins' scor- ing parade Mr. H. H. also was a hard man to stop on defense and succeeded in slowing down many potential touchdowns. Haynes was benched in the second Libbey game and received a severely sprained ankle to end his high school grid career. Abie has made an unforgettable record in Woodward football history under the careful guidance of Coach Art Smith and it will go down in Woodward Saga annuals for years to come. IHEAEHSIUQAYTEUDST TOCENTRALCREW7 Over the past three years there has been a certain group of fellows that have lived together, eaten the same food, thought the same ideas, been the sons of one father. Coach Homer Hanham's basketball team will clash with a powerful Cen- tral quintet tonight. Last Friday in- augurated the -final year of seven seniors-seven seniors that, aside from' their studies, have thought nothing but basketball since they have been in high school. In their fresh- man year these fellows compiled a fine record of 12 wins and three losses, good enough for second place. The following year they stepped even higher-an undefeated season for first place and a record of 30 consecutive victories for two years. In their junior year Toledo found a good enough team to go to the state finals, only to lose out to Middletown in the waning seconds. And again this year Coach Hanham is able to put a team on the floor that can win ball games. Over three years, a record of 48 wins and only six losses goes to thiis year's senior basketball members. Now with three scholastic games played this year, the record hits the 50 mark, with six losses. These fellows, Bob Harrison, Paul SPORTS WAITE QUINTET DOWNED BY cuss Woodward's scrap p y freshman team downed a valiant Waite quintet in a sec-saw struggle which ended with a 12 to .ll score. lt was the Bear fresIunen's first game and they were out to make good. They took a commanding 8 to 2 lead over their opponents at half- time. The Bears were sparked by lanky Bob Jones who scored 8 points. Skip Aubry and Wally Nowicki also featured in the scoring each get- ting 2 points. Jack Smith, Eddie Lair, and Fred llentzler were the other starters and these boys played a good brand of ball throughout the game. Army Team Cougratulatcrl By General D. MacArthur Rollic Bevan, former Woodward football coach of 1934 is now acting as football trainer for army's mighty team at West Point. ln a recent letter to C. C. LaRue, Mr. Bevan commented on the fine team Army has maintained in rolling up scores of 50-0 over Notre Dame. After a smashing victory the Army team received a cablegram from Gen- eral Douglas MacArthur saying We stopped the war to celebrate your wonderful achievement with Army's greatest team. Merri Macs Garner First. Place In Volleyball Tourney The girls' intra-mural league held the fourth game of their volleyball tournagient after school, Wednesday, Decem er 6. ' Fighting against the undefeated Merri Macs, the J.A.U.G.'s were on the short end of a 31-17 score. The Fire Devils bowed to the Polarettes to the tune of 41-29, while the Volley- ettes handed the X's a 30-22 defeat. First place is still occupied by the powerful, undefeated Merri Macs. Both having 3 wins and 1 loss, the Polarettes and Volleyettes are bat- tling for second place. With 2 wins and 2 losses, the X's are holding the fourth position. The J.A.U.G.'s and the Fire Devils are tied for fifth place with 0 wins and 4 losses. National League Keglers Win Two Games From Irish Paced by Gene Winters and Ralph Gajewski, both going over the 500 point mark, the National League Keglers defeated a strong Central team in two of the three heats. Joe Frankowski garnered a 475 while Dan Bieniek made 449. Bowling in two games Dave Gribbin had a total of 263 points. Bob DuMonte, participat- ing in the second match, bowled 114. Woodward's American L e a g u e champs lost to the Irish winning only one of the three games. Ray Szenderski led both teams with a 562 average. Dick Zakrzewski paced the the Centralites with a 549 total. Norm Sobecki, captain, finished with a 488 point average. Ray Amborski made 475. Bowling neck to -neck Mike Miller had a two point edge over Joe Ambroski's 448. Dick Aubry, Howard Havnes, and Cal DuHart, have made their school life of basketball. They will be re membered for their fighting and WOODWARD CAPTURES FIRST CITY TILT, FACE POWERFUL CHERRY STREETERS Central Threatens Polar Bearsg Lacking Height Once again the two bitterest rivals in the city, Woodward and Central, ' lock horns on the Bear hardwood to- night, in a game that expected tr be a battle royale all the way. The Fighting Irish from oul Cherry Street way, are anxious lo get hack in the win column after last week's defeat from Scott, but will have to go all out to take the Bears on their home floor. .Likewise, the Woodwarditcs are looking forward to another successful season, and will be gunning for their second city victory. With several returning veterans, and a host of championship reserves, Central's new coach Harold Mouch, has a fine team. Returning players from last year are: Johnny Juhasz, Bill Reynolds, and John llacko, all who make the Irish a great threat. Along with these players are: Frank Pinciotti, Dick Schmenk, Jim Warrick, Joe Mol- nar, Bill Saelzer, Dick Bayers, and Art Bok, who led the reserve team to the city championship. Seven Seniors Woodward coach, Homer Hanham, has a squad built around seven re- turning seniors, with five juniors ad- ding to the roster of the team. The seven seniors, who really throw the rugged threat are led by Bob Harri- son and Paul Seymour, first stringers from last year, Cal Du Hart, who is well over the six foot mark, Chuck Lentz, Frank Sloan, Dick Aubry, and Howard Haynes. So far the Polar Bears have a nec- ord of three wins and one loss, that coming at the hands of Bowling Green University's B team. The Irish have a small team in size compared to Woodward, with Dick Bayers and Packo being an inch or two over six feet. Also the Streicher Street boys have an edge in exper- ience many of the boys seeing a con- siderable amount of actions last year. According to these facts Woodward holds the edge but you can expect to see a thrilling battle from start to finish. .Probable starting lineups for to- n1ght's game: Woodward Seymour . .,..,...,.... ., Central ...Iuhasz Florian ,, Packo Schmenk as Harrison ......,.........

Bob Harrison Leads B83l'S To City Wing Hits 15 Points Homer Hanham Making a clean sweep of the eve- ning with fresh, reserve, and varsity victories, the Woodward 'Polar Bears rolled on undaunted by a weaker Libbey outfit to the tune of 38-21. Big Bob Harrison figured prominent- ly in the Bear win as he rolled up a total of 15 points to lead the scoring parade of the contest. Paul Riden- our, towering pivot man of the Cow- boy squad led the South Side point getting with five markers. Although definitely not a scoring threat, Reggie played a rugged de- fensive game for the losers. Rubelle Ashley, Anton Momsen, Mel Young and Bill Topfer kept the Blue and Gold in the game. Cal Duhart played a brilliant game around the backboard for the Bruins while Frank Sloan, Paul Seymour, and Sonny Lentz kept the Streicher Street steamroller puffing. Dick Aubry who entered the game as guard failed to connect with the bucket but guarded the opponents with flawless effectiveness. Libbey's vaunted zone defense was held to one point during the first quarter and the score at the quarter was 12-1, Wood- ward. Coach Hanham led the Polar Bears from the hardwood at the in- termission with the count Woodward, 185 Libbey, 7. . A combination of a fast break, a zone defense were the highilighting factors of the contest. For the final period's ending moment Pilot H.H. played an all junior team. lt held the disgruntled Cowboys to .l point, a foul by Ashley. The home team takes Central's Irish tonight on the Woodward court. RESERVES DEFEAT ' COWBOYS, 30-16 Wilson Weis' lightweight -aggres- sion took on rangier Libbey crew and soundly trounced the Cowboy reserves 30-16. Johnny Kornowa was out- standing for the Woodwardites as he threw hooks, shorts, and all around swish-shots from practically every court position to keep the Cubs out -in front. Charles Deacon Allen, acting floor captain, kept the ball out of danger by roaming around the hackboard and conrtolling .the height for the Polar Cubs. Jack Kennedy came up with just about every imaginable break to out- wit the Libbey outfit for a total of six points. This is number two for Coach Weis and his all soph squad. Here's hope for another undefeated season. . .

A SOLDIER'S CHRISTMAS In a foxhole, cold and dreary, Knelt a soldier, tired and weary. With his gun aside him laying, Watching cautiously and praying. Thinking of his fo'lk so dear, Glad that they are free from fear. Remembering school parties, picnics, guinea, The corner drugstore where everyone came. Looking at a picture, to him i.t did rate, For it was of the girl who had promised to wait. Wondering about his buddies, in world scattered places. Hoping that some day, he would sec their faces. Endlessly he tights on, the enemy attacking, His courage, his faith are never lacking. This is his Christmas, he's fighting for you, Buy bonds and stamps, you'll he helping him too. - Thoughts Of A Woodwardite Y Yi Y 1 more you know, the more you forget, the more you forget you forgot, the more you forgot the more you know, so why study.

Membership to this teen age organization rapidly increased monthly and it was necessary to establish quarters in a larger place. The new site at 434 Huron Street has proved convenient, and permits students to enjoy dancing, ping-pong, pool, and even refreshments. The membership fee is 31.00 for six months, enabling students to use the canteen facilities each Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night. The drive is on! It's,up to Woodward 'students to take an active 'part in this popular and, worth while organization. Congratulations To Sorton And Glee Club Many thanks to Edgar Sorton and the music department for the impressive Christmas pro- gram presented for the faculty and student body. Though this praise is belated, it is, neverthe- less, sincere. Especially in these trying times a program of such beauty and simplicity is appre- ciated. Annually this group presents a program of Christmas carols, but never before has the hard work been more evident by the perfect rendition of the selections. Once again may we congratulate you, Mr. Sorton and your group, for the splendid pro- gram, which so naturally fitted into the holiday spirit. 'Make Up Back Work Before Semester Ends 4 With only a little more than a week remaining before the semester exams, students should begin to take a personal inventory of all that they have accomplished during the past semester. Exam days are also the final days to make up any work which may have been missed. . Since many of the students were absent from school in order to work before thc Christmas holidays, there is much unfinished work which must hc, completed. ' Some students have a tendency to ignore make- up assignments which must be done if they expect a passing grade. When grade cards are dis- tributed, many cannot understand why. incom- pletes or failing grades appear on their cards. Now is the time for everyone to check his work, to see that everything is up to date. The end of the semester draws near. . Don't let any make-u assignments go unfin- P ished. Begin the second half with a clean slate. Resolve: Buy At Least One Stamp Weekly School is, again, back in session. Studies have been resumed in the usual manner. A new year has arrived. Did you make some resolutions this year? Did you resolve to help get your country out of war, or are you a slacker, in reality? If every student in, school would resolve to buy just one stamp a week, and would stick to it, Woodward would continue to keep a good 'record in stamp and bond sales: A large number of students 'have failed, continuously, to purchase stamps. Why don't you and you and you start 1945 out right? Start it out with a promise, a promise of security, of happiness, of peace. i ,,'r.g..iQ - . OPENAND SHUTX g l Van Johnson!

The light suddenly bright- ened as we came upon Chuck McNitt in a bright red tie and green suspenders, a Christmas gift from THREE girls.

He docsn't stop with a mere coat like Sir Walter Raleigh did. And then there is my brother, Norm. Why, do you know, we were standing on the corner today when a man struck a young girl. And do you know my brother went up to him and said, Why don't you pick on a man ? And I don't know what the man said because they haven't revived my brother yet. But my boy-friend, Mugger, tops them all.

MERRY CHRISTMAS Christmas greetings were reversed last week when two cards arrived at the T. O. .from the navy. One was from Edwin C. Roberts stationed aboard the USS. Sha-ngri La, somewhere in the Atlantic and the other was from at WAVE, S1 ,f c Viv- ian L. Shepard, who graduated in 1943. The cards were appreciated. more than just a little. HAPPY NEW YEAR 'l'o Sidney Adams, out in San Diego, we send an extra special Christmas and New Yea'r's greeting. Last year at this time Sid was on this end of, the greeting as Call to Arms editor. Now it's our turn to remember him and send our very best wishes. . MERRY CHRISTMAS A good New Year's resolution for the year 1945 is to write more audi more letters to keep up servicomeirs morale, and to buy more and more uiar bonds and stamps to bring them home sooner. Here's hoping all those boys will get to spend the next Christmas at home. HAPPY NEW YEAR V Some former athletes of Woodward in the service are knocking it out with the enemy hoping that some day they can again don a uniform of their own choice. 2 Jack liaker, former football, basketball and track star can be seen in the uniform of the U.S. Marines. Then there's Bud Carr of the U. S: Navy still punching with his box- ing gloves. John Eckhardt and Bob Janis, football and track heroes of last year are no longer seen in civvies. Peanuts Long, key man of Homer Hanh:-un's Statelruniier-up basketball team of '44, can be found in Florida. Don Tigges. everybody's buddy and former Sports Editor of the Saga, is in the navy. The navy has George Abdelnour, a great bowler here at Woodward. Also in the service are a hunch of guys who took Waite for the lirst time in eight years. That was in 1943 when Marvin Bucher, a great end, Bill Santus, Paul Varwig, Al Ustazewski, Joe llstazewski, Ed Sloan, and lrv Wisniewski, gave Woodward that precious ll-ll victory. livery one of those fellows are or were in the service of our country. lloys like 'Fed Miller, Ray Jopgodzin- ski, Jack Eaton, Dick Seymour, Andy Mausiewicz, Walter lionkowski are spendingjtheir Christmas away from home. .Louie Kaczmarek, often pri?- claimed the F'ighteiiest l'olar Hear carries the color of his country. 'All of these athletes will some day be back home. Most of them will still be making the rounds in the sports circles. Many of them will go back to school. Colleges will once again irun as in peacetime. And then again Woodward High School will be made famous by its sons. MERRY CHRISTMAS Faculty nlcmbers :iren't to he for- gotten either.

L .y x V nne....-1-. -' ' -A - 1, I., ,, Q Urisk, efficient, anda lot of fun best describe Tom Osberger, ,presi- dent of Freie Hahn Woodward's German club. Tom has studied German for three years under Miss Annie Wetterman in preparation for his prospective career as an engineer, and finds the language very interesting. - Golfing heads his list of favorite sports and he proves his skill in the game by maintaining a low score most of the'time. Usually out put- ting on the green with him is his bosom companion, Ralph Gajewski. When not golfing or working' dili- gently on' his physics and German, Tom spends his extra time at Best's as popular ice cream hangout of the gang. y , Tom graduated from St. Hedwig's grade school four years ago and will celebrate his seventeenth birthday in February. After graduation from Woodward he hopes to fulfill his en- gineering ambition by studying at Notre Dame University in Indianag He is easily discerned from his sen- ior classmates by his easy going gait and also answers to the description of 5'9 . blue eyes and sandy hair. Food is always of interest to him and thelniere mention of French fried potatoes andsteak can really excite him. -Girls also prove interesting- especially Patty Sitter, a Notre Dame student. . Peris Contribute Articles To Soldiers At Union Station Instead of having a Christmas party, the Periclean Literary Society has contributed articles and packages for the soldiers at Union Station on Christmas Eve. A delegation of four girls was chosen to distribute pack- ages on Sunday evening. The girls are: Kathryn Keiter, Pat Janowiec- ki. Dolores Wujciak, and Jacqueline Wujciak who will accompany Miss Bertha Vermilya. During a recent meeting a program was presented for the entertainment of the, girls.

Freshman Mixers Held To give the freshmen an opportunity to become acquainted and learn how to dance, Freshmen mixers were held Tues- day and Wednesday in the girls' gym. The students participated in a grand march, a musical' mixer. and were taught the fundamentals of social danc- ing during this period.

BRUINS PLOUGH UNDER CENTRALg 'PBOWLERS DROP BOTH ..... -1- ..- Q Christiansen Main Cog In Woodward Polars Chalk Up Vocational's Defense With city league basketball opposi- tion ascending to the ultimate summit of competition between the two lead- ing contenders, Woodward and Scott, the cage circle draws tighter with the Polar Bears facing Coach Wally Ard- ner's Mechanic Crew and Saxy's men taking on an up and coming De- Vilbiss aggression. A victory for the Bears means a firmer grip on top spot in statistical average. Tonight's battle royale brings together two of the loop's most rugged rivals in the Macomber Robot Men and Coach Homer Hanham's cool, calm, and col-- lected cage quintet. The Craftsmen hold a previous record of one won and one lost. The latter contest was a close three-point tripping at the hands of a strong Scott squad. Main 'Threat Perhaps the main threat against the Bruins is the incomparable pivot play of six-foot, five inch Calvin Christen- sen. The towering C6lll101',S most out- standing characteristics is his ability to get fouled without fouling. Danny Sutkus, Mel Schultz, 'Jack Rohr- backer, and Hank Navarro also com- pose the first team. The latter is an exponent of a consistently dead one hand shot which pulls the goal strings at every possible opportunity. The Streicher Street cause hinges on the fast break as well as a set up zone defense which thus far has baffled all comers with the exception of B. G. U. Woodward- Macomber .cage con- tests are traditionally tough games with a mild supply of upsets and sur- prises thrown in. Starling Line-upi All in all enough to give the fan in the stands a disagreeable head- ache in picking the winner. As to the outcome, attend the game and find out. Pilot H. H. sails into the Mon- roe Street hardwood on the crest of a winning streak and with the team all out for a win this meeting promises to be a thriller to the last whistle. The Blue and White starting lineup will undoubtedly be Bob Harrison and Paul Seymour at forwardsg Cal Du- hart at centerg and Sonny Lentz and Frank Sloan at guards. Make' it your business to be on hand at 8 o'clock sharp, and let your favorite cheer be FRESHMEN LOSE ' CONTEST TO IRISH Woodward's freshman team dropped a hard fought contest to an aggres- sive Central five by a score of 29-23. The Irish attack was spearheaded by Gilmore, who scored 8 points. High scorer for the evening, however was the Bear forward Skip Aubry, who registered 14 points. The game was a thriller throughout. The Bears kept pace with the Cherry Streeters until the third quarter when they pulled ahead never to be headed again. Second high scorer for the Cubs was Captain Jones, and follow- ing in order were Red Varnar and Bob Rutkowski, who scored 2 points each. Eddie Lair did not score, but played a swell floor game. BE+-AT g MAcoMBER 1 Second City Win Over Central Five With Paul Seymour and Cal Du- Hart netting 15 and 13 points, re- spectively, Woodward's classy Polar Bears chalked up city win number two over the Irish of Central by a convincing 48 to 33 score. The Bears now lead the city league with Scott, each remaining unbeaten in city competition with two city vic- tories. Husky Cal DuHart was really the main factor in the win as he con- trolled both backboards with his 6 foot 4 inch frame and constantly tipped in some Beautiful shots to keep his team going. Seymour added more punch in the team during the last half with his great shooting abil-- ity and fine floorwork. As in previous Woodward games, the Irish started oif in their usual whirlwind fashion. Johnny Delp opened the scoring with two foul shots, then Florian and Schmenk con- nected on fielders to give the Irish their only lead of the tussle. How- ever, the Woodward crew of dynamite exploded. DuHart hit two tip-in shots, followed up by Seymour and Harri- son's goals, to put them in command the rest of the evening. After an 11 to 8 lead at the qurter, Hanhanvs cagers increased the halftime score to 29-13. ' Many Personal Fouls The third period started off with a number of personal fouls marked up against the North Enders. Lentz started the last half with four, Du- Hart three, Harrison two, and Sey- mour and Sloan with one each. DuHart played a defensive role in the third and fourth quarters, while Seymour and Harrison took to the of- fensive side. Coach Hanham's quin- tet lead by a 40-22 count at the end of the third frame. Central's new coach, Harold Mouch has run into bad luck the first two games, but will have a chance to come back when his team' meets the Libbey Cowboys tonight. Dick Schmenk led the Cherry Street offense with 10 points, while Delp was sgecond with seven, all of them on foul slots. Norman Sobecki Bowling is the first and foremost in- terest of Norman Sobecki, iunior. He captains the American League, which copped the championship last year. Acting as manager of the Mercury Bowling Alleys is his job and he hopes to make this his life work after grad- uation. With a mighty effort Mr. Sobecki was diverted from his favor- ite subject, bowling. The machine shop and P. 0. Thomae interest him in school and whenever there is a crowd gathered for baseball you can be sure Norm is right in the middle of it, for baseball ranks second to bowling. A Li'l Abner in tastes, Norman can devour pork chops by the pound. Don Miller and Clarence Veller are always seen roaming the halls with this illust- rous gent. . Inevitably, the subject jumped back to bowling and Norman divulged that the highest game he ever bowled was a 289. He also stated, 'fThe Woodward American team should win the champ- ionship again this year. ' Szenderski Leads With 560 Points Woodward's National League Bowl- ing team, sparked by Dan Bieniek with a 514 total, won the first and last game series with Waite's Indians last Saturday. Ralph Gajewski, team captain was next on the scoring parade with 451 points. Next came Joe Frankowski, who made a 429 in the three heats followed closely by Norm Lisiakowski's 422. Gene Wint- ers came last with a 408 total. Ray Szenderski made over 560 points for the American League which lost to the East Siders. One of Ray's three games was over the 200 point mark. Other scores were not avail- able as Norm Sobecki, team captain, was absent, Monday, deadline for sport- stories of this week's Christ- mas issue. Reserves Score ' ' 32-19 Victory Over Central Wilson Weis Jack Kennedy sparked Wilson Weis' reserve aggregation to a 32-19 victory over the Central Catholic lightweight team Friday night. Start- ing at forward position, Jack rang up a total of 13 points to lead scor- ing for both teams. John Kornowa followed with 9 tallies, while Deacon Allen came in for five markers. Jim Beucler was high man for the paro- chials with a compilation of 8 points. The Cubs left the fioor at half time with a standing score of 18-8. While the trio above took care of the point getting, the following fel- lows took more than possession of the enemy on defense: Jim Wilusz and George Bennett at guards, Paul Farmer and Arnold Crouch at for- wards. This win was number three in a row for the lightweights. The re- serves take on the Mac-Men's second team. tonight. The Weis-Men are shooting at number 4 tonight. With a record of three straight vic- tories under their belts and a consid- erable amount of experience obtained in the Fremont, Libbey, and Central games, the Little Bears hope to take the robot reserves measure. But due to the fact that the Macomber team is composed practically of all junior material, the Cubs may have a rough time of it. - Bowling Green captured their fifth straight win, whipping Ohio Univer- sity, 57-45. The Bee-Gees were led by their 6-foot, 1136-inch center, Don Otten, who totaled 22 points. DOPE CORNER by Syl Essick Highlighting last Friday's city league games was the hair raising battle staged by the Macomber and Scott quintets. Living up to pre-game notices the two squads were ,never separated by more than six points but the final outcome saw Scott emerging on the long end of a 30-27 score. Leon Jones and Jack Daschner sparked the winners, each garnering 10 points, while Lanky Cal Christiansen, Ma- comber center, led both teams in scor- ing with a total oft 131. Starting out slow in their usual fashion, Woodward's Polar Bears came back fast and won going away. Final score: Woodward, 489 Central, 33. For the victors forward Paul Seymour and center Cal Duhart were the big noise in the Bear attack, getting 15 and 13 points respectively, while guard Dick Schnienk got half of the eight Irish fielders and two fouls to head Central's scorinag witlix 10 points. Total turnouts for the Toledo foot- ball games set a new record in 1944. 133,648 paid to see the various round robin games with third place Waite attracting 41,394 to lead the other schools. Woodward, which played only one home game, at Scott against Cen- tral, drew a croyyvdof i:l,813. This week's games will find Wood- ward meeting Macomber in the fea- ture attraction, Waite journeying to Central, DeVilbiss entertaining Scott, and Rossford playing host to Libbey in a non-league fray. Macomber has the advantage of playing on their home floor but the Bears have a de- cided advantage in height. The Mechs have always been tough 'especially when playing Woodward and it.looks like a close game is in the making. Scott shouldn't have too much trouble with scrappy DeVilbiss, and Central should take Waite without a great deal of difficulty while Libbey may encounter some trouble with Rossford but shkoulkd win. ' This year's Central Lightweights, last year's freshman cage champs, were defeated by the thus far unde- feated Woodward lightweights, 32-19. The Cubs were out for that win after being beat twice their freshman year by that same Central team. Ah- sweet revenge. at ,R Y Woodward and Scott remain the only two teams undefeated in city league play while Macomber and Lib- bey remain tie for second, each losing and winning one. Occupying the cel- lar positions are DeVilbiss with one loss and Central with two defeats. In- teresting note is the fact that DeVil- biss, feared by all in league compe- tition last year, is about the weakest team in the city this akyear. Rouding out last week-end games was the 32-27 beating handed Waite by Libbey and DeVilbiss' 45-37 vic- tory over Sylvania Burnham. Center Ridenour was high for Libbey with 10 and Bert Fike, DeVilbiss' center, led both teamsakwith 36. S . Dixie Walker, Brooklyn Dodgers' right fielder, won the National League batting crown with a .357 percentage, ten points higher than Stan Musial's .347 average. . Merri-Macs Win Volleyball With the girls' intra mural vollyball tournament coming to end, the unde- feated Merri-Macs lead, occupying first place. The Volleyettes are close behind in second place. Third position is held by the Polarettes. - Teams X. J. A. U. G. 's, and the Fire Devils hold fourth, fifth, and sixth places respectively. The basketball tournament will begin shortly. All girls are urged to form teams and enter the league. m t I ' - I-1 -f THE WOODWARD TATTLER I - . BEAR, fllf-,PLE ,corr WEIS' CAGERS WIN FROM TIGERS, 27-14 Chuck Allen Leads Scoring Parade For Reserves Weis Points and personal fouls played a prominent part in the Bear-Tiger Cub contest Friday night as Coach Wilson Weis' 45 cage edition out-played, out- checked, and out-pointed a game De- Vilbiss reserve outfit 27-14. Pivot man Chuck Allen was the principal scorer as he led the indi- viduel point-getting parade with a high total for all three games of the evening. Deacon came up with just about every imaginable shot to pile up 13 points for the Blue and White. John Kornowa and Clifford David, a late season find, teamed to break up quite a few Tiger breaks. John also gained 5 markers while maintaining the defensive. Jimmy Spindler was,high scorer for the Tigers with 8 points. After quickly solving the West End offense, Coach Weis' boys built up a lead to leave the fioor with the halftime score 11-5 in favor of the Polar Cubs. The second half found the Wood- ward second team capitalizing on breaks and fouls to leave the Bengal lightweights on the short end of a 27-14 comparison. Carl Deutcher, Arnold Crouch, George Bennett and Red Stickles were also outstanding for the reserves. Jack Kennedy, regular forward, was benched due to a serious foot infection which handicaps his playing ability somewhat. The lightweights are in second place for the league lead hav- ing been beaten only by the un- defeated Macomber squad. L .I.'D3SChI'l61', Bulldog Star, Interviewedg Favors Scott I favor Scott by two to four points, stated Jack Daschner, vet- eran forward of Scott's basketball squad who expressed confidence in his quintet. Although he thinks that Woodward is one of the best teams and a great bunch of all-around fel- lows, he believes that the advantage of playing on their own floor will prove to be their greatest asset. With a carefree gleam in his blue eyes, the seventeen year old senior admitted he has joined the navy and will leave upon graduating. Ohio State is the college of his choice, but the service holds first call. . Reaching up to smooth his half inch butch, Jack revealed that he spends a lot of time down at the can- teen and loves to dance. He con- fessed that he has joined ,the ranks of the unattached and is not going steady any more. i When- not engaged in playing basketball, this jaunty fellow is an active member of the track team. Being very versatile, Jack enjoys bowling with his buddies, Hurb Wright and Ed Nugent. at the Bowl- A-Drome. L..LI. . CONTEST WILL DECIDE FIRST PLACE IN CITY L Toledo's two topnotch ,cage teams, Woodward and Scott, lock horns in the latter's gym tonight, when they play for undisputed possession of first place in the city leatgue race. The game is expected to raw a capacity crowd. For Scott's Bulldogs, a win means not only possession of first place, but a perfect record among the state's leading teams. So far they have six victories against no defeats for a clean slate. Game Features Stars Tonight's game will also feature a contest between stars. Both teams have a. number of individuals who can poti shots from all over the court. Namely Scott has a towering pivot man in Ed Nugent, a real threat when he shoots. Also the Bulldogs have Leon Jones, colored forward, who is one of the top scorers in the city, along with guard Jack Daschner, de- fense specialist. Rounding out the other .two,berth's are Herby Wright, who teams with Daschner at guard. and Vern Allen, a good all around player. Coach Homer Hanham's quintet also happens to be a star-minded outfit. The Bears have one of the best play- ers in the state with plenty of all around ability in Bob Harrison. Start- ing his third year of varsity competi- tion at forward, Harrison happens to be leading the scoring race, and is a dead-shot from all over. Paul Sey- mour, the other forward, happens to be another main cog in the lineup. Paul has a fine record for his de- fensive work, last year holding down Canton Lehman's Dorland, all state forward, to four- points. Husky Cal POSSESSION OF EAGUE TONIGHT Dui-lart, who has shown marked im- provement in the past, will start at center. Hanhanfs choice for the two guard slots will go to Frank Sloan and Sonny Lentz, returning veterans, who not only share .in the scoring, but hold the crew together at crucial mo- ments. Pick Own Favorite As to the favorites, no decision will be made, but the following statistics can .give the reader his choice oi opinion. Bulldog! Coach Al Sacksteder is starting is third year as head man, and has his finest team at present. The Collingwood cagers have six wins, three of them over city teams. They beat Central 34-28, DeVilbiss 49-29, and Macomber 30-27. However, they weren't at full strength during thess games. Swinging to the Woodward side, Coach Hanham has been experiencing victories for about ten seasons. Last year's was runner-up to.Middletown's state champs. Seven men are return- ing, all with a vast amount of experi- ence. They have six wins against one defeat, and have had scores over the thirty-five point mark. The results are all there, so, read- ers, you are the quarterbacks, pick your own winner Friday afternoon. Game time is at 8:15.

The outcome of the bat- tle will decide who will lead the local cage race. Let's be on hand to give the team the moral support any high school team needs to win! X1 all Libbey's vastly improved Cowboys took undisputed possession of third place by topping Centra1's Irish. Reggie McGee and Rubell Ashley led the Cowboys with 9 and 12 points, re- spectively. Rounding out -last week- end's games was the surprising beat- ing Macomber handed Waite, as Hank Navarro sparked the 'Mechsq and Scott's victory over Rossford's Bulldogs, one of the stronger su- burban quintets. Forward Leon Jones set the pace for the Scotters with 17 points. - vii P31 S'- Thc Bears from out Streicher Street way looked pretty ragged against the cellar dwelling DeVilbiss Tigers in the second half of last week's battle, as they were outscored, 24-22. Woodward's first half lead carried them through to a 44-33 win, however, but unless things are dif- ferent tonight, the Bears are in for rough sailing. But who's worried? Me! That's vidio! at tk Now for the weekly forecast: Libbey at Macomber--a close game with Macomber on top. But we don't say that with confidence. DeVilbiss at Waite-the battle for the cellar with Fike and Brown lead- ing the Tigers to a victory over the Indians. , Central at Sylvania-don't know too much about the Burnham five, but we'll string along with the Irish. lk lk 'K Bowling Green continued on its merry way along the victory path by defeating Oberlin college 66-58. The undefeated Bee Gees added number ten to their victory string as they were sparked by their giant 6'11 center, Don Otten, who garnered 22 points. PF FK if Toledo' University's Rockets lost another close one to the Lockbourne Army Air Base five. The score, 50- 45. Don Scharer, member on last year's fine Woodward team, got three points for the losers. lk 'lf Dk The problem of securing athletic equipment by schools and by individ- uals is becoming! more difficult. Tennis shoes, bas etballs, and uni- forms are becoming rare items. So, when in gym, take it easy on your gym -clothes. And fellows, remem- ber, basketballs-weren't made to be kicked. Ili Pk 'lf . For' the fourth year in a row, Woodward finds itself battling for the city cage lead. In 1941 they met Central's Irishg in 1942 it was Ma- comber who opposed themg last year DeVilbiss was their obstacleg and now Scott's Bulldogs are the oppon- ents. Coach Hanham's theme song might very well be, The Same Old Story. 'lf IF ll: Don't count on anotherseason of baseball. The national pastime de- pends a lot on their 4-F players and if the work or fight order is passed by Congress, then those players will be lost to the game for t e duration, thus leaving baseball in a hole. POLAR BEARS DROP , . DeVILBISS QUINTET Woodward Tied For First P-lace In City League D Homer - A capacity crowd congregated at the Woodward gym Friday night to witness the thrilling Bear-'Hger spec- tacle which included everything from hook shots to intentional fouls. ,- Paul Seymour was the big bad Polar Bear as the last of the famous cage-clan connected for 12 markers to lead the hit parade along with Bob Brown, .DeVilbiss forward who hit the hoop for four goals and four fouls for the same number of points. Cal Du- hart and Frank Sloan accounted each, for eight points. - The game began as all Woodward- DeV1lbiss tilts do with each side throwing all kinds of tricks into the fray. The only objection was the Bruins were doing the scoring. Coach Homer Hanham led the squad from the hardwood at the intermis- sion with Pilot Scotty Florence's crew trailing on the short end of -22-9 score. That 13 point lead was whittled somewhat in the second half but the Seymour, Harrison, Duhart height combination clicked under the bucket and around the backboard to keep the Stricher Streeters in the game. Chuck Lentz and Frank Sloan took care of the sharp-shooting, sinking pot shots from field positions outside the foul circle. The Upton Avenue aggression outscored the North End- ers in the second half of play garner- ing 24 tallies to the Bears 22 markers. Brown and Zeke Tussing kept 'the West End scoring barrage exploding against the reserve substitutes but the lead maintained earlier in the con- test proved lenough to win a com- fortable victory, 44-33. Amerks Drop Robot Keglers Skip Smith, with 519 points led the American League Keglers to a Win over Macomber last Saturday. Norm Sobecki, team Captain, followed closely with a 510 total. Next came Mike Miller's 468 average for the three heats. Ray Szenderski and Ray Ambroski held the bottom positions, bowling 438 and 429 respectively. Bob Jacksy was high scorer for the Mechanics, garnering 505 points in the series. . The Nationals suffered three de- feats to the loop leading robot men from Macomber. Dan Bieniek's, 522 was not high enough to make up the score of the fifth man who was ab- sent. Other scores were not avail- able due to the inediciency of the team captain, Ralph Gajewski. ' Although seemingly carefree, Jack Daschner will be one of the main threats in tonight's game. ' THE WOODWARD TATTLER PAT'S PATTERN I Scott and Woodward, both unde- feated in the city league, will meet tonight in the Collingwood gym. There's expected to be a capacity crowdat theugame to see this all- important battle. ali lil 2? Joy Morhardt's freshmen classes have' been busy repairing the cafe- teria chairs.

BEARS AND CUBS HUMBLE PANTHERS Maumee's Panther quintet failed, but definitely, to stop an exploding Polar Bear clan Tuesday night at the Maumee l-ligh gym. The Bruins tri- umphed, 53-21. . Paul Seymour caught fire in the first half to connect for 14 points and added one fielder and a free throw in the number two double period for 17 markers altogether. .Frank Sloan was the other Polarite to stop. Frankie Boy hit the hoop five tunes from the fioor and connected for two foul shots for a total of 12 points. Jake Prentiss was high man for the losers with 13 tallies. l 5 Bob Harrison and Cal Duhart were the backboard combination which clicked under the net, while Captain Sonny Lentz kept the ball rolling with his swish shots from the side ourt. F Reserves Win f Coach Wilson Weis' lightweights continued on their merry way in a non-league tilt, also, tripping the Panther Cubs 22--16.

Hall guards have complained of too many students wandering aimlessly about the halls and loitering in the rest rooms. To remedy this situation, the Stu- dent Council will aid the hall cap- tains and their crew. At least one 'Student Council member will be on duty each hour of the day to check with guards and to get their reports on students who are breaking hall rules.- An intensive check up will be made of the seventh hour, as it is during this hour that the halls are the noisiest. At the next meeting of the hall guards individual reports of hall ac- tivities will be given and the progress of the campaign will be discussed. An important aim of hall captains is to rid the hall crew of inefficiency. Too many hall guards are absent from their posts, visit with people in the halls, or leave their posts while on duty. This spring students who are interested in being hall guards next year, will be interviewed for po- sitions. In this way, it is hoped better students will hold hall posts, and inefficiency will be done away with. E Both deans, Clyde Meek and Miss Amie Miller, are behind this pro- gram and will cooperate fully with the student council and the guards, in dealing with hall fusion. New Class Discussed Principal LaRue announced hall con- at a that meeting of Senior boys Thursday, a new first aid class will be started next semester if enough members en- roll. Last year it was compulsory for all senior boys to . take the course. If the class is opened, Mrs. Mary O'Brien, will teach both second and sixth hours.

Greater War Stamp Sales Urged To Reach Goal of Minute Man Flag During the next few weeks, additional effort will be made to further the purchase of war bonds and stamps. The goal of this latest drive is to have 90W or more of the students buy stamps every month so that Woodward may be able to obtain a minute man Hag. As soon as this percentage is achieved, Miss Dorothea Bishop, advisor of the student council, will send to the United States government for Woodward's minute man flag. It will fly beneath the American flag outside the building. 90 to 100976 Home Rooms Approximately 2596 of the home rooms were in the 90 to 10092 bracket during the week before Christmas. Boasting- zi record of 10092 on the first floor were 'Paul Thoniae and Miss Annie Wetterman. Mrs. Marie Ersig's room was 9672-. 1009? rooms on the second floor included Miss Angela Abair, Hugh Montgomery. In Miss Eleanor Murphy's class 97'Z:. was re- corded. Mrs. Eva Leu, Miss Dorothy Warner, Edgar Sorton, Mrs. Mary O'Bi-ien, Miss Bella Joseph, Miss Genevieve Tobin, Miss Jllllfl Anderson, and Wilson Weis were 10094, on the third floor. All these rooms have maintained a high average throughout the past two months. Miss Bishop stated that the easy way to purchase stamps is to buy every week. After a time it becomes a habit, she further commented. Bond Stickers To Be On Display Within a very short time, Miss Bishop asserted that she will put into the trophy case the bond stickers which the school has received in recognition of its work in the war loan drive recently completed. A replica of these same stickers has been placed on each of the two scout cars which Woodward purchased. The bond stickers will be displayed so that Woodward can be proud of its work in the past. In order to be proud of our school in the future, Miss Bishop concluded, it is up to each of us to buy at least one stamp every month so that we can earn our minute man flag. , Woodward Students Show Talent At Swing Inn Show Woodward students presented the fioorshow at the Swing In last Satur- bay night.

Miss Bertha Vermilya, club advisor, who works as a voluntary hostess at the lounge, al- so assisted the girls. The letter sent to the club is as follows: Dear Friends: We are a little late in sending you our thank you note for the lovely things your'society sent to the USO Lounge in the Union Station at Christmas time for the service men and women. ' Your gifts, fruit, candy, popcorn balls, cigarettes, sandwiches were all enjoyed by the armed forces and we were glad to pack many little lunch kits of good things to eat for the soldiers to take with them on the train. They all felt that we had shown them true hospitality, which was only made possible by the many friends who remembered them. Thank you again. Sincerely yours, Edna B.

March 0f'Dimes Needs Full Support NCE AGAIN the March of Dimes is here. That valiant organization combating Infantile Pa- ralysis needs the support of every individual, not only herein Woodward, but through the whole country as well. It may seem tough to have to give for Red Cross drives, stamp and bond drives, and a hundred and one other drives that pop up, but when you get right down to brass tacks, is it really hard? Is it hard to show you're human enought to care about the other fellow? Is it too hard to show a little consideration from someone who is afflicted with some dread illness, for instance, Infantile Para- lysis-? ' No, it isnt hard. Don't wait to be asked. Gi-ve till it hurts, then give some more. Remember - Q- It's Your War Too 'ASTOIGNEl A nine letter word meaning typ- ical American G. 1. courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

Enabling students to part- icipate in timely and controversial subjects, the meetings are held each week at a designated school auditorium. January 23 will be Woodward's first opportunity in the forum which will be held here. In order to .maintain an intelligent and successful meeting, not only the students who have done considerable research on the subjects, but the audience must be prepared to ask questions and participate freely. The subject will be International Aviation in the Post-War Wor1d g everyone is urged to come pre- pared for discussion. PRINCIPAL PGINTS l I g oesiy AND SHUT g ' By Charles' C. LaRue The National Education Asso- ciation hasjust published a book- let entitled Education A Mighty Force. In ,the opening paragraph , the caption is What makes a Nation Great? The answer is given not its land, not it mines, not its rivers, not its forests, not I its money---important as these 01' - .wnygg things are. Only people make a in nation truly great As Irread the above I thought how applicable that is to every worthwhile thing in life. It is the human element that gives real value to all things. A school is like a nation, the fine buildings, the splendid equipment, the spacious grounds - impor tant as they are, will not produce a truly great school. Only the pupils and teachers that are as- signed to the building can do that. Do you take a personal pride in your school? If so you must take pride in yourself and in your con- duct. The world judges your school by the actions of its individuals as well as by its action in the mass. All organizations and all people must build up and keep up their reputations. This is done not so much by conscious effort but by forming the habit of always doing what you have to do quietly and well. You do not need to shout see how good I am.- The world easily finds out about you and catalogues you. Institutions as well as people that find it necessary to advertise their virtues are soon jndged to be not real but showy and artificial. Be natural, that is, be real but make the reality something worthwhile. CAMPING OUT Lots of folks are willing to give a peice of their mind, which is hardly worth taking. wk Ik 98 N.

LaRue, principal, and Clyde Meek, boys' dean, called a meeting of all hall guards, Tuesday, Jan- uary 9. Students from the gym, shop classes sewing classes and band are the ones who leave the class- rooms to put away their instruments and to clean up before three o'clock, then going to their lockers instead of returning to their rooms.This must cease because it disturbs other classes whic are still in session. This week the Student Council has been excused from their seventh hour classes tive minutes early to check on pupils leaving before the dismissal bell has rung. During this checkup there has been a great improvement shown in the halls as reported by the council members. Aa I open this column this week I find my cur osity is killing me.

The Polar Bears stake an unbeaten loop record against a winless slate of Doc F'etter's city standard in league competition. For the Redskins the probable line- up will be Clinton Knitz, six-footer from football season, Young, Contos, Layman, and Armstrong. -The latter three are football and cross country runners, respectively. - Fetter's crew has one victory 'over a suburban team earlier in the sea- son. Falling into the cellar from the hands of a DeVilbiss five, which stop- ped the Waiters by a slim 3-point margin a week atglp. ' It is a Jack e giant killer as- signment for the Indians. The Bears, heavily favored, being the strongest city team, will be facing the weakest loop squad. Coach Homer I-Ianham's starters will as as usual: Duhart, Sloan, Sey- mour, Harrison, and Lentz, while the Bruin reserve substitutes are ex- pected to see quite a bit of action. T. U. TO BE SCENE OF CITY TOURN EY Clyde Harr, athletic and equipment manager at Macomber Vocational High, was recently appointed tourna- ment manager for the city basketball tourney to be held in March. The series of contests are to be held, af- ter much debating, at the Field House of the University. This is the second consecutive year that Mr. Harr has been appointed to the position by a meeting of the oth- er athletic heads of the city. According to previous plan, the T. U. site will be the city tourney scene. Bowling Green State Univer- sity will be the place of the regional contest, while the state semi-finals and finals will be held at the Toledo University. Cubs Triumph Over Scott Woodward's freshman team scored a ggigsided triumph over Scott's team, The Bear Cubs were paced by team captain Bob Jones, who scored 17 points. He was ably assisted by Skip Aubry, who played an exceptional floor game and scored four points. The freshmen started slowly, but they were soon hitting on all five cyl inders, and Scott was unable to do any- thing about it. Leo Robie, freshman coach, seeing that it was in the bag sent in nu- merous reserves to finish out the game Principals Meet: Discuss Boys Leaving For Service Principal Charles C. LaRue attended a principals' meeting of all Toledo high schools Wednesday, January 10, at the Board of Education. The boys entering the service were discussed. Although this practice has been followed, it was formally voted that seniors and upperclassmen, entering the service, must attend school until Lhree days. before leaving.Seniors, who iave passing grades will receive di- alomas, credit will be given to the ipperclassmen for the semester in which they are enrolled if their grades ire passing.

Bears Explode Forward Bob Harrison started the scoring parade with a swishing hook shot that 'bewildered the sellout crowd and served notice to the Scott cagers that he would be a dangerous man. After concentrating more on Harrison, center Cal Duhart ex- ploded with a bang, controlling both backboards and tipping in some beautiful shots to continue the scoring. Woodward had rung up 7 points before the Bulldogs had found them- selves. Then Leon Jones meshed a one hander to keep Scott in the game. Forward Jack Daschner followed up with three quick points to bring them within two points of the Bears, the closest they came all evening. The first quarter finally ended with Woodward in front, 15-7. Duhart added two more tip-in shots in the second frame to put them ahead at the intermission 19-14.

Besides being the mainstay of Waite's basketball and football squad, blond, stalwart Clinton E. Knitz, Jr., is also the foremost feminine heart- breaker of the east side school. How- ever, hoping to make them all happy, Junior states he has no steady girl. Clinton not only uses his nimble feet to great advantage on the bask- etball hardwood but is often seen smoothly exercising them on the Swing Inn dance floor. Weighing 185 pounds, Junior has played foot- ball at Waite for three years and will captain thc team in the coming season if his plan of being a sailor does not interfere. ln social life at Waite, Clinton par- ticipates by holding membership in the Forum Literary Society and the Boys W Club. Michigan State is the university in which Junior hopes to carry on his ambition of be- ing a draftsman. Concerning his favorites Clinton confessed that algebra and fried chicken are mighty high on his list. Probably his malevolent attitude to- ward any particular female accounts for his liking the recond Don't Fence Me In. Towering 6 feet 1 inch above play- ing floor, Knitz will divide his abili- ties between the center slot and for- ward in tonight's game. Clint would make no prediction about tonight's tilt but he did say he and his team- mates would give the north-enders a good game. casion. However, Sacksteders five still put up a stiff battle with Ed Nu- gent, Scott center, matching Duhart shot for shot, as did Jones with Har- rison. Most shots were hit from far out because of the tight defenses used by both clubs. It was tricky Frank Sloan who stole the show in the fourth quarter. Playing a good brand of defensive ball, Sloan connected for 4 goals, all one-handers from the side court to increase the Bears' lead. With three minutes remaining, Woodward held a lead of 14 points on the Collingwood lads, 41-27. It was too late for the Bulldogs to make a comeback as time ran out, giving Woodward a victory 43 to 34, and possession of first place in the city league. Highlighting the contest was the officiating of tiny Jesse Garrett and Tom Bender. Individual Scoring Woodward g. f. f..

Q DON LAYMAN With a face entirely devoid of any expression, Don Layman came loping down the hall. As he neared me, I could discern a tall, thin, frail look- ing boy, his short brown hair stand- ing on end and his blue eyes staring blankly ahead. His four years of high school have been full of basket- ball and he now shuttles back and forth between center and guard posi- tions, but he admits he would rather be center although his guarding is very noteworthy. Layman was very nattily dressed in a Waite sweater with the letters Q.D. on it which he explained sym- bolized the boys' literary society to which he belonged. The Waite W Club also claims his membership. After a brief whispered consulta- tion with his buddy, Knitz, they de- cided Layman's favorite food was hot chocolate and cheese sandwiches. Some combination! Question: Who are you taking to the Waite Prom? Answer: Beverly Hicks. Question: Who is your girl ? Answer: Beverly Hicks. ' Question: Where is your hangout 'I Answer: Beverly Hick's house. With a mighty wrench we turned away from Beverly Hicks and onto his plans for the future. This 6ift. 1 inch senior plans to forego his en- gineering career in order to enter the armed forces. Don is well known among Wood- ward's basketball and football play- ers who spend their summers at Camp Big Silver, as he acted as counselor up there.

Their 916 in the final match was also high for the current season. The Centralites had a 2556 team score, which is a high score. The three wins put the Americans within one game of the League Leaders of DeVilbiss. WEIS-MEN STOP SCOTT RESERVES K Continuing on their merry' way through city lightweight cage com- petition in number two spot thus far, Coach Wilson Weis and com- pany added another win to their al- ready long victory column at Scott, Friday night. Playing without the aid of Jack Kennedy, benched center prospect, the lightweights unfolded a bucket bar- rage in every period of play to win a 29-15 battle in which the Cubs led in every quarter. . ' Wilusz, Big Gun The intermission count was 13-9, while guard Jimmy Wilusz picked up 12 markers to help run the Bear to- tal to 29 checks. Forward John Kornowa checked in for two field goals and three fouls and 7 points. Paul Farmer, former reserve sec- ond stringer now with the Bulldogs second team, connected for 6 for the losers. Clifford David and Chuck Allen ac- counted for size on the team as both controlled the backboards and col- lected 4 points respectively. The Polarettes hit the hoop for 7 out of 15 foul trys. ' Arnold Crouch, George Bennett, Adam Markowski and Carl Deutacher were in the game on the defensive.

Graduating from Glann grade school which he attended for a year and a half, this quiet but very friendly senio has achieved a high social standing here at Woodward. This year Ernie was elected vice- president of the Senior Class, reporter of the Engineering Sociey, and is a member of Youth council for the well known teenage canteen. On the Saga staff, he hold the position of boys' edit- or. Ernie's schedule shows the following subjects for his final year. Physics,mo- dern European history,senior English, and solid geometry. When it comes to music, especially the trumpet, Ernie is right there. Out- side of school activities, this ambitious lad is a member of Jimmy Reemsnyder's orchestra. His main ambition is to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study engineering, but the call to arms may interfer with Ernie's plans. You usually saw Ernie with J i rn Jarchow who is serving in the navy, but you will now see him with his faithful buddy, Jack Waters. In the course of the past few weeks senior boys have taken the patch test for tuberculosis. This test is given so that the boys can take the pre- induction program.

TO BEGIN MONDAY Every Pupil A Member ' Woodward's Goal . This Year ' ' Mrs. 0'Brien. ' H Every pupil a member is the goal this year in Woodward's annual Junior Red Cross drive which begins on Monday. Because the nation-wide campaign was held during November when the Pearl Harbor Drive -took place at Woodward, the Red Cross campaign was postponed until- now. A reminder that most of the money collected stays right here at Wood- ward should encourage participation from all students. Mrs. Mary O'Brien, advisor, sends one penny per student to Washington, which enrolls the school .100 per cent. The re- mainder of the collection is used to carry on Red Cross projects here. Woodward's program includes supply- ing entertainment .equipment for servicemen overseas and donating -to the children's fund used exclusively for refugee children, both here and abroad. . No minimum amount has been set for the collection which will take place in all homerooms. Last year 33 classes reported a 100 per cent collection amounting to S213.04. Lists of the enrollment of all first hour classes must be sent to Mrs. O'Brien by Monday, February '5. These names will be typed by coun- cil members and used to keep a rec- ord of individual contributions. Dorothy DeLine is president of the Woodward chapter, while Bessie Papps is city-wide president. i , Future Vacations T ' Students and faculty members can look forward to three holidays during the second semesterg Washington's birthday, Thursday, February 225 Good Friday, March 309 and Memorial Day, Wednesday, May 30.

Working day and night under unbelievable circumstances, these angels of mercy bring plasma, sulfe, and other healing med- icines to our wounded and suffering. f 1 C nteen units of the Red Cross serve our home a . sick boys overseas by giving away free doughnuts and coffee alongwith their friendly cheer and good will. ' The greatest cause of all needs our help. By giv- ing generously we can be serving humanity in our small way. The drive begins February fifth and continues until the ninth. During this time make certain that you have not neglectedpsomeone in need of help. .i. Begin New Semester Right XAMS ARE OVER! What a relief! Yes, but that doesn't mean we can slack down on our work for another six or seven weeks as some of us are thinking. Although teachers have stressed repeatedly that daily assignments are a very important factor in determining grades, students seem to depend on exam grades to slip them through a course. Remember exams are only one fifth of the final averages. Let's begin this new semester right by doing our daily work. crincisni Of Unclean Lavatories ' OODWARD students become aware of the unhealthful conditions of the lavatories caused by carelessness and vandalism. Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's freshmen classes brought to light the critical situation and offered suggestions for improvement. The clever skits in which they participated proved that the freshmen are alert and wish to improve their eu rroundings. After being shown the difficulties, every Wood- ward student should take a personal responsibilty in keeping the lavatories clean and any sign of vandilsm should be discouraged. Destruction prof- its no one and detracts from the neatness of a place. Let's take pride in keeping every part of our school clean and neat. Good Luck Art Students ' NNUALLY the Regional North-Western Ohio National Scholastic Contest holds an exhibit in which all budding artists are urged to en- ter their various works for the preliminary and final stages of the contest. As in previous years, the preliminary contest will be held at Lamsons where all high schools including Woodward will exhibit their art. Students of Miss June Anderson's art classes have been working hard and long on their projects to beat the deadline of February 15. Good luck to you! ' ,Does your stomach feel different lately?

A study Xof the teachers' report on grades for this semester is not very inspiring. We always expect a certain percentage of C, failures but we are rather shock- ed when that percentage rises out of all proportion to previous years or semesters. A five per- W vi l, cent failure for a whole school is 0 f Msg? about average. bi For the past semester we can say, and without any pride in the statement, that our school has exceeded that average. From time to time during the past .semester I had been re- ceiving reports from individual teachers that the quality of work was falling 035 so I was in a measure prepared for a slight increase in our fail- ure list. Based solely on previous records this high per- cent of failure should not have happened.Students who have come to us from the grade schools are just as intelligent as in previous years. What, then is the reason for these poor performances? I think there are several. First: A study of the records of students who fail, usually reveals a long list of absensee from school. We have a number of pupils, I can't call them students, who have missed a day or two out of every week of school since September. This in itself is cause for failure. You cannot be taught and you cannot learn when you are not here. Second: Many pupils are placing their outside part time or full time jobs ahead of school work. There isn't sufficient time for study. One cannot bea successful student in high school unless some part of the school work is done at home. Check up on students who carry their books home at night and you will find the successful ones. Third: Many of you have your thoughts on the war, on your relatives or friends who are in dan- ger because of it.This distracts you in your study- ing. Then too, there is a certain percentage of our boys who have taken the attitude--- Well, I'll soon have to go, why should I study. I'm going to have a good time while I can. To the former of these there is not much to be said, except to try to keep your mind on your work. To the latter, you are playing right into the hands ofthe enemy. Make up your minds to get all you can out of your school so that when you do have to go to war, you will be the best possible type of soldier, and when you come back you will have a much better chance to fit into the scheme of things and succeed. . Finally, all of us, no matter how good we are in our studies or how poor, can do better. Getting an education is a big---an important job. We can't go back over last semester. But it can be valuable if we learn a lesson from our -failures and determine to succeed in the present one. J! :FI-x ,I ,ff .gf N nf? I ei l , . , , .9 A, ,. .W K ,' ' W I M W ,. 4, My 'W' - I.

I see Miss Edith Murphy kneeling at Mr. LaRue's feet begging him to let her have the day off to go see Miss Annie Wetterman, who is now a WAC and is coming home on a furlough. The boys in the woodshop are planning a going away party for Mrs. Crouse, who is 1-A and will be leaving soon. Miss Helen Marie Grimm is as cute as ever and all the freshmen boys are still falling forher. Mrs. Marie Ersig is still running the T.O. and has raised the price of Tattlers to 4 cents, increasing her salary to 56.50 per week. I see a monster looking figure, it's so awful I can't name it, Oh, I see now. It looks like a man, yes, it's Nelly. After that, I better come out of my trance and do my history. Miss McLaughlin is looking at me. THE WOODWARD TATTLER JANE TAYLOR NEW GYM INSTRUCTOR To replace Mrs. Harriet McClure, who is taking a leave of absence, Mrs. Jane Taylor will be the new instructor in the girls' gym. Upon graduating from Syracuse University, Mrs. Taylor taught physi- cal- education in Cuba, New York, until she married the former Wood- ward football coach., Jack Taylor, now lieutenant in the army. Resuming teaching when Lieutenant Taylor joined the armed forces, Mrs. Taylor has been an instructor at Waite High School until the present time. Favorites play no role in Mrs. Tay- lor's life. Being a physical education teacher,.all sports are equally tops. She enjoys eating practically every- thing when it comes to food. As she is not yet acquainted with the system and facilities in the girls' gym, Mrs. Taylor was unable to state any plans she wishes to fulfill. Miss Marian Larkin, former Wood- ward teacher, will' fill Mrs. Taylor's vacancy at Waite. RESERVES WIN TWOg TIE FOR LOOP LEAD WITH ROBOT QUINT Pilot Wilson Weis steered his reserve cage quintet to a comfortable 30-20 win over the Libbey lightweight squad to annex a two way tie in the city basketball loop. The Cubs now hold a first place deadlock with the Robotmen of Macomber, who have the position by virtue of a win over the Bears on the Monroe Street gym floor. Connecting for 50W of their free throws and hitting 'the hoop for twelve field goals the Polarites led at every quarter of play by margins of 8-2, 18-9, 25-16, and 30-20. George Bennett, speedy defensive guard held the scoring spotlight, con- necting five times from the floor and once from the foul line for a total of 11 markers. Johnny Kornowa and Deacon Allen also came in for 8 tallies each. Carl Fenners and Donald Arend were the lone sparks for the South Siders' offensive. Both gathered in 6 points apiece. The reserves continued on' their merry day through all opposition with only one defeat on their dark slate. The little Bears face a beaten Central crew at the Cherry Street school. CUBS TRIP WAITE Woodward's rampaging Cubs con- tinued to share the loop league with Macombei-'s Mechs as they set down Waite's reserves to the tune of a 35-25 defeat. With both teams using a tight man to man defense scoring was limited in the first quarter as the period ended with a 2-2 deadlock showing on the 'score board. The Cub offense started rolling in the second quarter, how- ever, as Kornowa and Wilusz found the mark and the Little Bears left the floor on the long end of a 13-8 score. - The third quarter found the Cub's attack going stronger yet and Coach Weis' boys pulled into a 21-16 third quarter margin as Charles Deacon Allen and George Bennett sparked the team in .the last half. With only a couple minutes remaining, the reserve second ,stringers went in and held their own with the East Siders as the game ended with a Woodward victory of a 35-25 score being entered into the records.

Skip Smith's 584 pins garnered second honors. A 557 rolled by Mike Miller was next on the scoring parade. Team captain, Norm Sobecki, bowled 538, while Ray Amborski trailed with 530. Amerks Out-Roll Libbey Paced by Norm Sobecki, team cap- tain, the Amerks garnered victories in the opening and closing games against Libbey last Saturday. Norm's 222 in the initial heat boosted his total pins to a 589. Skip Smith rolled a 199 in the last game for a 523 second high total pins. Finishing strong with a 222 game Mike Miller garnered 506. Joe Amborski and Ray Szenderski had 492 and 435 respec- tively. Nats Garnier Wins Led by Dan Bieniek, the National League keglers defeated Scott three games Saturday, January 20. Dan rolled 537 pins. Last Saturday the Nats garnered three wins over suburban Ottawa Hills. Gene Winter's 490 pins and Bieniek's 467 pins were high for the Bears. These two victories put the Woodwardites only two games be- hind first place Macomber. Other National League scores were not available. Indians Hold 10-8 Advantage At Halftime, But Lose 36-22 Waite's Indians threw. a 'scare into Woodward's vaunted Bears three weeks ago ,as the East Side quintet, paced by Armstrong, Knitz, and Gregus, fought valiantly but suc- cumbed to the North Siders' last half attack. The Indian quintet .assumed the lead from the outset on a fielder by dimunitive forward Carl Armstrong and they stayed out in front as the second period ended. The Polar Bears left the floor on the short end of a 10-8 score. Woodward came back fast, however, as Bob Harrison showed the way for his teammates as he scored 19 points. The Bear passing attack started clicking and the out- come of the battle was evident. The Boys from Streicher Street left Waite with a memory of a 36-22 defeat at the hands of Homer 'Hanham's charges. Woodward Scene Of First School Radio Forum Of Year Last Friday, sixth hour, the first fo- rum of the year was held in the audi- torium. The topic was, Should We In- ternationalize Aviation After the War? Students participating were Andy Fen- ady, Peggy Smith,Jim Wilusz, Mildred Ludlum, Lina Del-lay, Pat Dresssl, Jo- Ann Christopher, Ed Voss, and Kate Keiter. Clifford David, John Claehout, and Mike Killel helped by taking the micro- ophone to any person in the auditor- ium who wished to ask a question. Lur- ena Wagner, George Marks, Richard Buehler and Gloria Wolfe acted as . monitors. ' NORTH ENDERS STOP COWBOWYS AS SEYMOUR, LENTZ STARg INVADE CENTRAL GYM TONIGHT Dynamic Frankie Pinciotti Expected' To Keep Irish In Tilt Tonight on the Cherry Street hard- wood, Coach Homer I-Ianham's Bears meet one of their toughest foes of the second round, when they face the rejuvenated lrish of Central Catholic. Irish coach, Harold Mouch, has a ball clublthat now shows plenty of scrap and power, although lacking in size. lt took the latter part of the first round before the Central cagers could break into the win column, and now they come up as a real potential threat. The Bears on the other hand have come out on top in their last two city games as a result of last half scoring sprees. Waite had led the Wood- wardites during the first half of the encounter, but couldn't stand the Hnal splurge. Likewise at Libbey, Han- ham's cagers had to come out from behind at the first quarter, 9-4, to topple the improved Cowboys. Bears In For Tough Evening Should the Central lads start off with a bucket barrage in the early minutes, the Polar Bears will be in for a tough evening. Little Frankie Pinciotti has been spearheading the Central attacks in the past, and can throw a mean kink in the Woodward machine, both on the offensive and defense, if he should explode. The only veteran from last year, Jack Florian, is a stellar per- former at all times, and can connect from all over. Three other players, tallest of the starting five, Delph, Ju- hasz, and Bayers, add to the tight zone defense. For Woodward, it is mainly five men who compose the starting lineup. Each player has all around floor playing ability, and possesses good shooting eyes. Also two very cap- able substitutes add to the scoring punch of the team in Dick Aubry and Abie Haynes. . Perfect City Record The North Enders are invading Central's gym with a perfect record in city competition. and aim to keep it unmarred. However, the Fighting 'Irish will be out to boost their posi- tion in the standing also. Following tonight's game the Polar Bears will travel to Canton, Ohio, to take on a powerful Lehman quintet.

Paul Seymour Sonny Lentz Paul Seymour led the Bears to a triumphant 39-20 victory over the Libbey Cowboys Friday night at the South Side hardwood. The Bruins were never headed with the excep- tion of the first quarter of play when forward Reggie McGee collected 6 and Bill Toephfer, forward, hit the hoop for a foul and a field to lead the Blue and White 9-4. Every member of both teams saw action in the fray as the Polarites built up an 18-16 lead at the inter- mission, a 24-'16 margin at the third canto mark, and a 39-20 win at the finish. - Bears On Rampage After a wild and wooly first half in which every player committed a foul, Coach Hanham's charges .pro- ceeded to solve the tight semi-one defense used by the Western Avenue squad. Scoring 21 to 4 points against the Blue and ,Gold boys, the .Streicher Streeters caught fire in the second period and exploded a smooth bar- rage of hook, swish, and unbelievable shots which clipped the nets for a mad net pulling affair, leaving the- Orwig-men on the short end of the score. Seymour and McGee were the high point getters with 15 and- S markers, respectively. Surprise of the evening occurred as Toepfer, towering Libbey center and Paul Ridenour held Bob Harrison and Cal Duhart to 6 points each. The Bruins take on the fast mov- ing Central aggression tonight at the Central gym.

Grove Patterson -eclured To D Town Hall Audience Saturday Disappointment swept over the audience as Al Snyder, radio announcer, stated that Andre Mihalopouios would not be able to speak before the Town Hall audience, for he was on his way to Toledo, and would not arrive until about 12:00 noon. Quickly saving the situation, Grove Patterson, editor of the Toledo Blade, consented to substitute for Mr. Michalopoulos and gave an informative lecture on Russia . Having been fortunate enough to visit the Soviet Union on three dillerent occasions Mr. Patterson was well prepared to give facts and figures on Russian geography, history, political system and other aspects of the Soviet Union. Russia is our nearest, greatest, and richest neighboru, stated Mr. Vat- terson. She is the only self-supporting nation in the world, having inter- nally all the materials needed for manufacturing and farming. Russia is three times the size of Europe and strangely enough less than Gllfk of the people in the Soviet Union are Russians, for her territory extends far into tho Asiatic lands. Outlines Russian Politics . ltraising her physical resources and possibilities, Mr. Patterson then out- lined Itussia's political system which he said was very simple. The reason for this is because at the head of the real source of power, which consists of I2 men. These twelve men compose the executive committee of the Com- niunistic Party at whose head is Joseph Stalin. Here all members submitted for congress must be okayed by Stalin. Standard of Living Poor Economic conditions are very poor, outlined Mr. Patterson. He called it a nation where everyone was on W.P.A. All land and tools are owned by the government and a certain percent of all produce must be given to the government. The standard of living in Russia is so low that there is no comparison with us or other nations. In summing up his lecture Mr. Patter- son stated that he had no use for the Russian economic or political system, but urged that we dispense with all fear about her and strive to set up friendly relations with a nation that wants and deserves peace as much as H any other nation in the world.

Believing the people of the country has a responsibility and obligation to the younger generation, Judge Kelly feels that the answer lies in education and service counsel, and above all, the coordination of welfare and politics. Art of Government Politics as defined by Webster is the science and art of the govern- ment. She referred to a case of three boy's who had each stolen a car. After much research one was found to be a sub-normal case, the second, a descendant of three generations of criminals: and the third, a wild-cat, just inquisitive of the keys left in a car. War Great Impact Judge Kelly said that the impact of war upon the youth of today is a great cause of the delinquency, and believes that if American people would stop fighting each other, and fight a. common enemy, the progress of this nation would be tremendous. Moralism, the virtue that people should be teaching the younger gen- eration instead of immoralism, is given in vast quantities by news- papers and sensational radio scoops. Parents Counsel Dept. A feature that has been carried out in Memphisbecause of the crusading' of Judge Kelly, is the counsel depart- ment for parents. It is a guidance without the law department where a problem can be discussed freely with- out the problem of names. Another huge factor in. helping young people is having good state institutions. Industrial farms and schools that are fit, both for the physical and mental needs of the delinquent. Then after he has served his debt to society, he may take his place in the world with a free heart, and not an embittered one. With the belief that there is so such thing as a bad boy or a bad girl, Judge Kelly closed with a timely poem entitled, Home, for she be- lieves the home is the hope of the nation. One-Sta-mp-A-Month Urged To Obtain 90 Per Cent Flag One-stamp-a-month is the goal set for the Woodward student body. When the school 119 90fZn a month in 'the pur- chase of bonds and stamps, we'll be able to obtain the Army and Navy E flag, stated Miss Dorthea Bishop, ad- visor of the Student Council.

A, ENGLISH FAILURES MOST PREVALENTg SCIENCE, SECOND a Usually five percent of the students in a school of Woodward's size do not pass their subjects. Eight percent of the student body failed last' semester. Most of the failures, 12.892, were in the English department, with the percentage of sophomores being most plentiful. ' Eleven percent of the science group did unsatisfactory work. Twice as many did not pass biology and botany as compared to the other science studies.

Phyllis Schmidt aud Donna Clark were appointed during a recent meeting' to arrange the transacton. Eileen Trondle is president of the club and Miss Edith- Murphy is the advisor. The Polish Literary Society was the first club to contribute to the stadium fund in which 5150.was given. E. Trondle, Zet President, Speaks At Scott Meeting Eileen Trondle, president of the Zet alethean Literary Society, was invited to speak at a Zet meeting at Scott High School, Tuesday, February 6. Accom a- nying her forumoral support were gue Cheney and Donna Clark. She s oke on different activities sponsored gy the Woodward chapter this year. It was suggested at a city-wide tea, held at Libbey last year, to form an in- ter-city club of Zets. If it can be ar- ranged, oiiicers of the three societies, Scott, Libbey, and Woodward, will meet at a future date to begin making, plans to carry out this idea. - Wood-ward Freshman Names ' Canteen The Swing-Inn . Frankfort, Kentucky, certainly has reason to be proud. One of its daughters, Clayton Craine, has named Toledo's youth canteen. Last August, Clayton borrowed au, friends membership card so she could go to the canteen at the Y.M.C..4. Slips of paper were being passed out and the teen agers were asked to write down a name for the oanteenf Clayton wrote Swing Inn. A few months later she was informed by Lloyd Barnes, Woodward's representative to the canteen, that she had named the Swing Inn. As a reward Clayton wal re- ceive a membership to the Swing Inn. Also Billy Snell, a DeVilbiss student is painting her picture on a plaque to be displayed at the Inn. V g.

Well juniors, YOUR day is almost here. Tomorrow night is the big event. Through the J'Hop we will show our ability Cwe juniors! to be leaders to make any undertaking a success. If you were not placed on a committee, perhaps you decided thas it isn't your business to see that the Prom goes over in a big way. YOU are wrong. It is the duty of every junior to attend the dance and to promote the feeling of its being a smoothly run, long-to-be-remembered affair. Zets Donate 95100.00 Who Will Be Next? A HE ZETALETHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY certainly deserves congratulations on the recent decision of its members to buy a 3100.00 war bond to donate to the Woodward Stadium fund, which also was enriched by S150 a few weeks agp by a contribution from the Polish Lit. Surely these clubs are playing a fine spirit of unselfishness in putting idle money in their treasury to work---working for Uncle Sam, and at the same time working for Woodward's dream--a stadium. From magazine drives, movies, and donations, Woodward's fund has now swelled to a goodly amount. These two clubs we believe, have established a precedent--that of practicing a bit of philanthropy in Woodward with money accumulating in their treasuries, which should spur other school organi- zation to follow suit. Who's next? The Polish Lite and Zets were first. What club will follow their splended example. Teachers! Take Time To Boost War Stamps I EACI-IERS! Do you understand that just a few I minutes of your time during the first hour one day out of the month would give Wood- ward the right to obtain the Army--Navy Efficiency flag? During these few minutes, check to see if your pupils are buying stamps. Every boy and girl in school can afford one ten cent stamp a month,aud that is all that is repuired to put Woodwad into the ninety per cent or more status. These students will buy if they are reminded, and it's the teacher-'s duty to remind them or to appoint a good representative who is capable of doing the job. February is to be a tryout mouth to see if we can attain the ninety per cent rank. Sixty per cent of the student body is buying now. At the end of the week, ask yourself, Have I urged my students to purchase war stamps this week? About twelve teachers can answer this question in the aflirmative, can you? Juniors Say Thanks To Senior Staff OES YOUR Tattler reed different today? Doesn't it look different, too? Sure it does, and the reason for these changes lies in the fact that during the week of the Junior Prom we junior reporters were given- the opportunity to take the full responsibility of publishing our school paper. Of course we are lacking in this kind of ex- perience and therefore greatly appreciate the aid of the senior staff members, who are handing down their knowledge to us. ' To the senior staff members of the Tattler, we Juniors would like to take this opportunity to say THANKS TO A SWELL BUNCH OF KIDS!

Calvin Katz Kitten littered his first. meow October 27, 1927, and thus began the first of his nine lives. Attending Spring Grade School, he eventually participated in a game known as basketball with such cage luminaries as Jim Nelson, Howard Haynes, and Jack Reichlin and he too graduated whereupon his mother uttered the historical comment, At last! Cal then entered Woodward and thus started- his high school cage career as he played freshman basket- ball, lightweight his soph year, and then varsity his junior year, thus did Cal come up the hard way' to make good. ' . Kitten is usually seen in school with Syl Kosakiewicz and Irvin Mower, who also hope to escape the draft for a while. iCal hates the call Greetings J. Outside of' school, however, he can often be found wolf- ing with Jack Reichlin and Morton Schulak fl love that boyl in his 42 yellow convertible Plymouth which he claims actually exists.

Mr. Miller rolled 181, 243, and 192 gamesg the 243 was the second highest in the school boy loop. Team captain Norm Sobecki blasted a 'rather high .569 series for second spot in the scoring. Rolling a 500 total pins, Skip Smith followed in the scoring. The fourth and last man to bowl Saturday was Ray Szenderski with 445 pins. Once again the high flying American League Keglers are at the number one position in the league. 1 Nats Red Hot The Nationals still going strong in league competition dropped Libbey last Saturday. Their league standing just behind the top team, Macomber, was not changed. Norm Lisiakowskrs 497 pins was tops for the team .al- though Dan Bieniek, usually high scorer was close on his tail.withw490 pins. Rolling a 468 serieshtiene Winters captures the mid spot. in the scoring honors. Ralph Gajewski, team captain, and Joe Frankowski had 462 total pins and 445 total total pins respectively. .loe's second game, a 225, was high enough to make the team's total for that set, 851, wlnch as Ralph would say, That's pretty good. Triple Header Featured - At University Field House Toledo sports enthusiasts forced by the official board of education legisla- tive act to attend loop cage games at the Field House will be host to a triple-header feature at t.onight's 'basketball schedule in the University gym. The week's card presents an amaz- ing array of dazzling net swishing stars in the opposition. Fans will re- ceive a glimpse of the city's best and worst quintets. Scoring and defensive threats will be on the bill as Wood- ward's Dulolart, Harrison and Lentz will face Christensen, Sutkus, and Navarro of' Macomber. Leon Jones and Jack Daschner of Scott will be up against Norb Todd and Dwight Jolmson of the Upton avenue aggres- sion while Waite's Knitz, Gregus and Layman combination will be prepped for a battle with Jupe Juhasz and Frankie Pinciotti of Central. With only three weeks remaining to decide the out-come of the 1945 basketball race, league competition becomes tougher and loop scoring be- comes hotter and hotter. No doubt the Scott-Woodward tilt slated for February 16 will decide the course of the season's championship cage squad. But be on hand for tonight's big three at the Rocket House. Jim Knierim, John Payak, Leo Kubiak and Tom Inman are really making a name for themselves at Bowling Green,State University. The Falcons have annexed a string of 17 victories out of a possible 18 games losing only to a brilliant Great Lakes quintet. Also Ohio State University boasts a new found star in Jack Pfeiffer, former DeVilbiss cage lumin- ary, while the Irish of Notre Dame hold claim to Central's forward flash of 42 Frankie Gilhooley. ,BRUINS TRIP CHERRY STREETERSg FACE CHRISTEN SEN Polarites Throttle Irishg J uhasz, Harrison, Lentz Star Woodward continued its winning ways last Friday night as the Bears defeated Central's Irish, 33-25, before 3,000 spectators at Toledo University's Field House. , The North Enders were never really pressed despite the somewhat close- ness of the game. Central enjoyed the lead only once in the contest as Johnny Jupe Juhasz dumped in a fielder and a pair of fouls at the games outset, 'giving the Irish a 4-0 lead. The Polar Bears settled down, however, and in quick succession Sey- mour, Harrison, and Sloan hit the target and the first quarter ended in a 6-6 deadlock. It was in the second quarter of the game that the height of the Blue and White clad cagers began to tell as Duhart virtually con- trolled both backboards along with Harrison and Seymour. Sonny Lentz got hot and dumped in a pair of one handers from the side court and Duhart tipped in a couple, adding greatly to the ever increasing Wood- ward lead which was 19-11 as the first half ended. Going into the last half, Coach Hanham's quintet played' a careful brand of ball as they passed it around trying to draw the Cherry Streeter's defense out and thereby find an open- ing. Seymour, Lentz, and Harrison continued to find the mark, but dy- namic Irish forward Pinciotti and Juhasz kept the Central hopes alive as they sank a brace of fielders to match the Woodward scoring. The third period ended with the Bruins en- joying a 27-18 lead. With the out- come of the game evident, the Wood- ward offense kept rolling and in spite of the fine shooting of Juhasz and Pinciotti and the hackboard work of center Babione. The Irish couldn't catch up and the final score showed Woodward on the long end of a 33-25 score as they remained undefeated in eight city league games. -Harrison and Lentz ,shared scoring honors for the Polar Bears, getting 9 points apiece as Seymour pressed them with a total of 8. Also, out- standing was the controlling of the backboards by Duhart -and the fine ball handling of guard Sloan. Pin- ciotti and Juhasz starred for the Cen- tralites, getting 9 and 13, respective- ly, a total of 22 of the Irish 25 points.

AND COMPANY Robot Stars Clash With Undefeated Crown Aspirants I Homer Hanham This week's cage bill finds Coach Hanham's title aspirants battling a scrambling Mechanic outfit at the, University Field House hardwood. The Streicher Street hoop edition, still riding on a victory wave of eight straight league wins carries a champ- ionship hope record into the fray, while the tricky third place Crafts- men are after a chance to break the number three spot deadlock with the Cowboys of Libbey who have drawn a bye. An individual battle ol' stars is slated for the University gym' to- night as the high scoring Cal Christ- ensen and Bob, Harrison, two and three point getters in the city loop will be opposing each other as rivals. Also, the Seymour-Sutkus affair is liable to be on deck for the fan in the stands to witness. As all teams in, the city are out to knock off the Bears, no prediction is available from this side of the desk, but the Polarites hold a better than average chance of victory. In any instance, the stands will be jammed for the triple-header tonight as the Woodward-Macomber struggle spotlights the feature of ton,ight's performance. .

Sophomores Enjoy Lecture By Jones Junior Freshman Woodward's sophomore class was entertained by a freshman girl from Jones Junior High during the assembly period on Wednesday,February 14. Al- though only 14 years old, Helen Parish was able to hold the solemn attention of her entire audience by relation of in- teresting experiences in India, where she has spent most of her life with her missionary parents. This promising speaker was born in India and brought to the United States when she was a few months old. At seven she and her family returned to Inqia where she made her home until the family was forced to leave in 1942 when Calcutta was bombed. While she lived there she attended a boarding school in the Himalayas where children from all nationalities were represented. That India is a land of many strange customs was a fact brought out by Miss Parish. When a girl is three months old her father betroths her to a msn of a- bout twenty. Not only this, but a wo man is considerd much lower than a man therefore a husband precedes this veiled wife on the street. Men are treated royally by their families, for the family always eat what remains after the father has finished. He also occupies the only sleeping cot in the house while the rest of the family sleeps on the floor. Gloria Stanislowski, sophomore, mod- eled a number of Indian costumes for Miss Parish as she lectured. Everyone felt his thirty minutes was well spent after hearing this informa- tive talk. ' E. McLaughlin In Hospital Miss Edna McLaughlin is still under going treatment at Toledo Hospital where she has been for the past few weeks. Members of her history classes- who have visited her report she cer- tainly enjoys having visitors.

Her subject was the K- ration, which is being served to the boys in the ser- vice when away from their camp. Dr. Barber was loaned to the War Depart- ment by the Kellogg Company, Battle Creek, Michigan. Analyzing and evaluating captured supplies of Germany and Japan is one of ner many duties. We have learned some things, especially from Germany, and have copied some of their ideas ', she commented. The K-RATION now being shown in the DISPLAY CASE is a balanced ra- tioned and all the necessary vitimins and minerals are supplied in it. It cion tains 3,200 calories and is full of a day's allotment for a hard working man. The government tries not to have the men live on it for more than two weeks. Because there are so many service- men who cannot read, each meal is in a different color container with a huge B,D,orS on the cover which is well ca- mouilaged. Breakfast includes condensed cereal, ham and eggs, coffee, biscuits, sugar, a fruit, gum, cigarettes all compact in a brown carton. In the blue dinner box there is chese, bacon, biscuits, a bever- age, sugar, gum and cigarettes. Supper is in a green container and consists of boullion, biscuits, a confection, gum, and cigarettes.

C. LaRue and his daughter, Isabel, on the death of their wife and mother, Mrs. Willa G. LaRue. - A frequent visitor here at Woodward, Mrs- LaRue was always present at school con- certs, plays, and dances. Although she did not attend many football or basketball games, she was vitally interested in the ao- cial affairs sponsored by the groups. She was last present at the Woodward J-Hop last Saturday evening where she spent an enjoyable evening visiting with pu- pils anrl teachers. Typical of the. Laltues' leavetaking was their cheery farewell given in unison Good Night, kids. - Proceed To School Even Though Late 'TORMY days mean bad transportation facilities to and from school. Busses are hindered by ' snow banks and slippery roads, therefore .running oE schedule. During the last several weeks pupils have found it difiicult to arrive in school on time, and oftentimes have turned back for fear of being late. This is an unnecessary procedure and shou d not be followed. Principal Laftuestresses that students who think they might be late should continue on their way to school even for just a few hours. During the ab- senceiof one day a studentmisses a great deal and creates unnecessary make -up work for the time lost. The deans are willing to excuse tardiness for these legitimate reasons and urge all to come to school rather' than to miss a whole day and lose the train of thought in our studies. . Think Twice Then Vote Wisely NNUALLY on Recognition Day, the Achieve ment Cup is given by the Tattler to the most deserving senior. This cup is awarded on the ba is of scholastic' and extra-curricular work ac- cording to the vote of the faculty and student body ' Next week, the freshmen, sophomores, and jun-. iors will be given a chance to vote for their choice of the recipient of the cup. Following this vote, the seniors will voice their opinion on the 27th of Feb- ruary. May we point out that it doesn't matter bow many baskets he makes, or how many times her name is in the Tattler. What does count is what ithey have done for Woodward. Think twice, and then vote for the deserving senior. Lenten Services To Be Presented s GAIN this year the Woodward Hi-Y and Friendship clubs will present Lenten services in the Woodward auditorium. These splendid programs, featured by speakers of diifer- ent church denominations are given each year by the two organizations to anybody interested in attending. Surely anybody who was present at these services last year will earnestly endeavor to be present again. The value of these --services are high and everybody should try to attend as the morals brought out at the services are in- valuable. We commend the Woodward Hi-Y and Friendship clubs which have combined to bring you these splendid programs before the pupils of the school.

Teacher: Are you a Freshman 'I Pupil: No, I'm a Mexican. U I 1 lt seems that Mary Lee lnfalt and Joyce Carpen- ter went out in the country recently and came back very disappointed. Is it because they failed to catch any farmer buys. ' l S l After the build up Helen Steiner gave Phyllis Wolfe about Mr. Robie when it comes to Everyday Living. Phyllis expected another Frank Sinatra.

They call it this because all they ever do is flop someplace. l I ll He spends all his time and money at the drug store. Why? Well, why not ask Don Koster? I'm sure a certain Rosie and Colleen Bartholomew have something to do with it. I I Q- The kids in Miss McLaugh1in,s history classes sure miss her. Why, I heard one pupil say to an- other, Gee, I wish she'd get back because if she doesn't, I'm afraid I'll fail. l I l We understand that Joan Marock, freshman wants her name in print very badly. But since we don't know you Joan, all we can do is put it print Here it is Joan . 8 8 1 ' Cupid isn't doing so when it comes to romance He's made a nice aim at Phyllis Konop and Rich- ard Buehler. S ll U Lurena Wagner is certainly doing all rightwith a certain soldier. He's home on furlough and has presented Lureoa with two beautiful rings. They're her postwar plans. . If I S ' Tattler kids are not supposed to get their names in but I just had to say something about Ann Kornowa and boyfriend Spike. They make such a nice couple and I was wondering just where she found him and if there are any more like him. If so, lead me to them. i lk If I If you were ever asked the question, who is the sharpest dresser in Woodward, I'm sure you'd answerPhilip Mansour, because he is. Those pink bow ties, hm-m-m-m . i ik wk as I'm wondering what's the matter with Ted Gernhauser. He went and strayed away from Woodward gals and is paying more attention ot DeVilbiss gals. Shame! Family Blues Boo! I-loo! nobody loves meg I'm justa nobody. All my ancestors were the same. In fact they all resem- bled every-thing but a human bean. My dear father was like a cigaret so 'round and fully packed. But unlike a cigaret when it came to money, he was slow and hard on the draw. My mother was like an Easter egg painted on the outside, hard boiled on the inside. Brother Norm is just like flannel. He shrinks from washing. And me, well everybody calls me Amazon, cause I'm so wide at the mouth. Ah! and last but not least there's the feature editor. I don't know what his name is but they call him 6804, that's his pen name. . I CAMPING OUT What Will Bonds Buy?

CHAMPIONSHIP IN SIGHT FOR AMERKS Woodward's American League bowl- ers seem to have the city champion- ship in sight, after last Saturday's games at the Auditorium alleys by sweeping three games from the Cen- Lral Catholic keglers. At present, this gives the Amcrks 18 victories out of the past 19 games, and practically cinches the number one spot. , Again Mike Miller and Captain Norm Sobecki paved the way for the loam by having totals of 531 and 512 respectively to their credit. Incident- ally the Amerks have been bowling with four men, being unable to secure :1 capable man for the fifth position. Following closely at the heels of Miller -and Sobecki 'were Ray Szen- Llerski with 479 ,and Skip Smith man- aging a 474. High man forthe Irish pinsters was Frank Beaicas, who rolled a three-game total of 474. Libbey, previously behind the Bears by one game, slumped to a two-way lie for second place with Central, now Four games behind the current leaders. The Amerks also have by far, ac- cording to the latest records, the highest team average for a single game with an 850 mark. 4 Merri Macs And Bouncing ' Beauties Tied For Top Place Terminating the second game of the girls' intra-mural basketball tourna- ment, Wednesday, February 7, the Bouncing Beauties battled against the Hi Team, defeating them, 14-8. Show- ing their superiority in strength, the Polarettcs trounced the Lightweight Pin Ups, 41-6. A victory was chalked up for the Merri Macs, as they won their game on a forfeit from the Big Shots. ln tho league standings all the ,cams stand in a tie. The Merri Macs and Bouncing Beauties have two wins and no losses to their credit. With one win and one loss on their chart ire the Polarettes and the Hi Team. I'he.Lightweight llin Ups and the Big Shots have no wins and two losses slated against them. Members of the Girls Leaders' Club referee these after-school tournament Iames. -I' 'I' POLAR BEARS CRASH LIMELIGHT V TONIGHT AGAINST SCOTT STARS Woodward's cage dreadnaught continued its pace-making ways Tuesday night before a capacity crowd at the University Field House, throttling a sixth place DeVilbiss crew. However, tonight's opposition should be more crucial with second place Scott affording the challenges to the league leaders. This con- test features the highlighting factor of the U. gym card. l JONES LEADS TEAMMATES - Forward Loon Jones,.leading his team to the scoring spot- light for the city will be in the Bulldog lineup if a leg-injury doesn't recur. Jack Daschner, number two man in the Colling- wood Avenue machine and Herb Wright will in all probability start at the guard positions, while Vernell Allen, and Ed Nugent will take care of forward and center spots respectively. The victor in tonight's engagement will decide without a doubt whether Toledo cage fans will witness a co-championship dead- lock for first place or undisputed possession for the Polar Bears. The Scott squad, becoming more accustomed to the large playing surface of the U. floor with every game, may ,offset the 43-34 score of the first round meeting in which Woodward's height was a major point in the win for the North Enders. . BEARS' SHOOTING BODES EVIL On the other hand Coach Hanhanrs ability to solve intricate defense and the sharp shooting eye of the Polar Bears is likely to spell defeat for the Sacksteder quintet. ' The team which will carry the Woodward effort into the fray will be forwards, Paul Seymour and Bob Harrisong guards, Frank Sloan, Chuck Lentz, Howard Haynes, Dick Aubrey, and center, Cal DuHart. The reserve substitutes who will be the reinforcement power are the five junior members of the squad: Cal Katz, Bill Leon, Syl Rosakiewicz, Leo Scalia, and Irvin Mower. HANHAM'S QUINTET A TOPPLES DeVILBISSA Splitting the mesh for 28 points in the first half, enabled the North End Woodward Polar Bnars to a second half substitute role in their 41-20'con- quest over DeVilbiss Tuesday night. Before a small crowd of spectators, the Bears blasted the hoop with shots from all angles, including! some speedy drive-in shots by Fran Sloan, and Sonny Lentz . After the Brat stringers piled up a comfortable lead in the first two quart- ers, Coach Hanham used five returning juniors who held their own against the Tigers. Sparking these five were Leo Scalia, connecting on n beautifull one hander, and Syl Kozakiewicz, who used his height to a good advantage. The quarter scores all lived up to the pre-game favorites, The Polars led at the first quarter 16-53 at halftime,128-63 and at the third period, 36-13. I Again Abie Haynes sparked the club, this time on the offensive, taking scoring honor with eight points. The best the Upton Avenuers could offer waa Zeke9Tussing's five points, four of them in the last frame. Forward Paul Seymour usual starter, suEered'a sprained ankle during prac- tice Monday, and was unable to play in the encounter. However, he is expected to be in shape for the Scott game. Reserves Drop Tough One Wilson Weis' second place light- weight net aggregation dropped a tough 28-25 overtime decision Friday to the loop leading Craftsmen of Ma- comber, using only six players throughout the contest. Jack Ken- nedy, resuming play after missing six games of the season, led the reserves with 10 points.. Johnny Kornowa also collected 7 for thc losers. Meiring was high point man for the Mcchs with 13 tables. The Polarites trailed 6-T at the initial quarter, 7-13 at the half, but came back strong at third stanza with BEARS THROTTLE MACOMBER CAGERS '- The Woodward Polar Bears dis- played the form of last year's great team Friday ni ht at the University of Toledo Field House, when they thumped Wally Ardner's Macomber cagers, 38-26, in the feature game of a triple header program. ' A lt took more than Cal Cliristensen's individual scoring of 14 points to keep Macomber i11 the running. At only one time were they ahead of the Bears, that being at the outset of the game, dealing 2-0 and 6-4. With the quarter score ending in Woodward's favor Coach Hanham's boys increased their lead in the sec- ond period to walk od' at the half with a comfortable margin, 21 to 11. Paul Seymour stole the show with his one-hand push shot that hit the hoop 'for two points on almost every occasion. The absence of Frank Sloan, usual starter at the guard position, didn't hamper the Bears too much as his place was capably filled by Abbie Haynes, who played an all around floor game, and added two points to the scoring cause. Christensen took high honors for the evening with 14 points, while Bob Harrison and Seymour connected for 11 and 9, respectively. a 20-17 lead over the shop boysg John Kornowa hit for a fielder in the fourth canto, followed by Ken- nedy and Clifford David who swished a deuce of successtive hook shots for a 26-24 lead with 35 seconds remain- ing. Red Meirin hit a long fielder for the Monroe Streeters to tie the count at 26 all as the time ran out. Meiring swished a lay-up shot and the Robots froze the ball after gain- ing possesion for a half minute. This loss was the second defeat for the Weis-men this season. Jim Wilusz and Chazz Allen also were the de- fensive threats for the Cubs. , BASKETBALL TOPS SLOAN'S INTEREST Frank Sloan is a little guy for the amount of uarding and playing he does. Weighing 152 pounds and stand- ing 5' 9 , he can be seen cavorting around doing a lot of fancy and ef- fective dribbling. Frank was a mem- ber of Weis' lightweight aggregation that chalked up 29 consecutive vic- tories and is still playing on a win- ning team. The starting line-up is never complete without Sloan as guard. . - , Instructing a. basketball clinic and swimming at the Catholic Club is the joy of Frank's life. He readily ad- mits that he is interested in young boys and in teaching them the prin- ciples of good sportsmanship. His dream in life is to establish an or- phans' home for boys with Louie rutt. During the summer, Frank acts as counselor at Camp Big Silver under the direction of Homer Han- ham. ' - Blue Eyes is a happy-go-lucky fellow with a great sense of humor and an infinite capacity for getting into unpredictable messes, His clown- ing brings gales of laughter into the Tattler office where he reigns su- preme as feature editor, the Simon Legree of the juniors. Proudly, Sloan admitted learning to play basketball at the Boys' Club, where he and Bob Harrison went as youngsters. Two of his greatest bud- dies are Jack Florion and John Welles of Central. . H WOODWARDV GIRLS LEADERS w1N AT, p DEv1LB1ss PARTY To entertain the various irls' ath- letic clubs of the Toledo higill schools, the DeVilbiss Girls' Athletic Society gave a play day after school, Fri- day, February 9. The ten senior members of the Girls Leaders' Club that represented Woodward were Betty Lou Claypool, Stella Cukerski, Dorothy Skiba, Har- riet Long, Dorothy DeLine, Frances Surgeson, Dorothy Best, Veronica- Jakubowski, Margaret Smith, and Mary Hider. Claypool Reports - Betty Lou Claypdol reported for Woodward in the brief discussion of each other's activities, which began this gathering. Members of DeVil- biss's society then enacted a clever, entertaining skit, after which all the girls congregated in the gym to play a series of five short, round robin basketball games. Woodward displayed a fine show- ing by defeating four teams and tying one: thus, winning this tournament. DeVilbiss registered in second placeg Besides participating in the games, Harriet Long, Frances Surgeson, Dor- othy DeLine, and Dorothy Skiba, of Woodward, officiated. To end this gathering, refreshments were served. As this arrangement Droved to be successful, other schools are planning similar acts. Games At T.U. More Popular, Mr. Brown, athletic director, an- nounced that there has been a slight increase in ticket sales since the games are held at the Field House. For the first Macomber game, 348 tickets were sold while 387 were sold for. last Friday's event at the 'U. Neither figure compares with the 687 tickets sold for the Macomber game last year. 1 1' -- - -------sf---f-v7--v--l-3 -?f-F1 Essay,-his THE WOODWARD TATTLER CAL L T Q AR M S Brotherhood Week - Another Woodward boy has reached the rank of lieutenant.

Religion In The Classroom Friendship Forum Topic Religion In the Classroom was the topic at the Hi-Y-Friendship forum last Sunday. Rev. Joseph Rosernurgy, dis- cussion leader, was very explicit in an- swering students' questions. Believing that compulsory military training will tear down our democracy and,make us a warlike nation,heis strongly opposed to it. Rev. Rosemurgy thinks that two religious programs a month as well as every student doing his best to get along with others will help to solve most of our difficulties in school.

' Pins Choice Of Distinction By Periclean Lit Society As their choice for a club distinction this year, the Periclean Literary Society have decided upon gold pins shaped in form of a Greek lamp. These have been ordered and will arrive some time in May. The committee chairman respon ible for this decision was headed by Pat Zack and students serving under her were Marie Boos, Sabina Slichcinski, and Pat J anowiecki. y PAT'S PATTER We wish to correct the mistake made in the Tattler in connection with the first aid classes.

PHOTOS OF BUSES IN DISPLAY CASE Wilful destruction and lack of con- .sideration for other people ,riding Community Traction buses and trol- leys can be seen in a group of photo- graphs, on exhibit in the display case, recently sent to C. C. LaRue, prin- cipal, by thc Traction Company. These pictures were taken from ac- tual scenes on the vehicles showing the thoughtlessness of students. It may not be realized by the vandals, but in these war years, such property is impossible to replace. Close in- spection of the photographs show that knives have been used to purposely gestroy upholstering and walls of the uses. If Mr. LaRue can secure a movie machine to show the pictures, they will be flashed on thc screen to the student body. Pupils and faculty are reminded to inspect the collection of photo- graphsin the display case on the sec- ond floor.

They are' also making table decorations for a city wide party for members of the office forces. N A K i ...i..-, LaRue Thanks ' T eachers, Students On behalf of Principal LaRue, the Tattleriwould like to thank all the fac- ulty, student body, and clubs who showed so wonderfully their loyalty'to him during lub recent sorrow. The kind messages of sympathy the baskets and bouquets of flowers, and many people who called at the mortuary and who attended the services stood as a reminder that all his friends shared in his sorrow. V It seems useless to comfort people who have endured a great loss by mere words. But only until we too have experienced this, can we actually appreciate the kind thoughts and deeds of one's friends. T. A. C., Ballot Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, this week are given the opportunity to vote for the senior they think most deserving in their service to Wood- ward. As the Tattler is awarding the Achievement cup, members of the staff are not eligible. The name of the senior whom they believe should receive the cup should be written on the ballot below. Voters should also name their classification, freshman, sophomore, or junior. All ballots should be placed in the box in front of the Tattler office, room 119.

J 1 m Nelson Club Attendance Not Up To Par LUB attendance has dropped down to a mini- mum this year. Although Saga pictures show large groups of students belonging to various clubs, meetings are never honored by their presence. Because many of the students work after school, meetings are held during the assembly period and some improvement is shown, but not much. Students should take personal interest in the organizations they belong, to make a special effort to be in on all the meetings and helping to make their activities successful. Film Shown To Be .Valuable In Future N WEDNESDAY, February 28, Major Edmunds of the Fifth Service Command will present a film on pre induction training. All boys six- teen years of age or more have been invited to see this movie. , During the present time when so many of our high school boys are entering the service, such a film is invaluable. It reveals to them the general aspects of the type of training which they can ex- ect. P Therefore it is urged that every Woodward boy over sixteen see this film next Wednesday. Even ifit doesn't seem necessary now, boys, it may some day bo to your advantage to have seen this movie. Bad Language Gives Wrong Impression TRIKING contrast can tiefound here in Wood- ward between the language in the classroom and the language in the halls. Many students spend an hour each day learning the correct use of English and the minute they step out into the hall they misuse and misinterpret words and phrases. Vulgarism and profanity which can be heard daily, are a had habit and reveal signs of bad manners. People judge you by what you say and how you say it. Be careful and make sure you're not giving a wrong impression! Many Benefited By Art Service Class HE CREATION of the seventh hour art service class by Miss J.une Anderson has certainly proved a successful ventureg for many Wood- ward clubs and classes have benefited from its program of service which included making party invitations, place cards, menu covers, posters, and dance decorations. ,Formerly kids found it necessary not only to be excused from other classes to do such work, but they also got behind in their regular art assign- ments. Now, everything goes smoothly with an entire group of pupils working on such service projects as those mentioned and receiving a full art credit for this class. Scheduling this art service class a a permanent course into Woodward's cirriculum would prove valuable to clubs and organizations, who sponsor dances and other school activities. Nice Going Gang HE TATTLER STAFF on behalf of the student body and the faculty wish to take this oppor- tunity to congratulate Coach Homer Hanham and. his team for winning the city championship again. In the past decade, Woodward has been very fortunate for having a great coach that can produce winning teams and teach the value of good sportsmanship and pride to other schools. These traits Wlll always be brought out as in the past by Hanha1n,.who has guided Woodward to a state wide recognition during his coaching reign. We wish the team the best of luck in the approaching tournament and may we once again say, Nice Going Gang. , OPEN AND SHUT l Preparing a solution in Mr. Staneart's last hour chemistry class proved rather fatal last week.

From the outset the outcome of the battle was evident as Kennedy, Deacon Allen, and John Kornowa opened up a scoring barrage that left the Bulldogs on the short end of a 13-0 score as the first quarter drew to a close. The second period finally found the Scotties break into the scoring parade with Wakefield hit- ting a brace of fielders while Jimmy Wilusz aided the aforementioned Cubs and the Scoreboard showed an 18-12 lead for the Little Bears as the half ended. The third period really found Woodward pulling away as Kennedy, Kornowa, and Allen continued to lead the attack and despite the fine shoot- ing of Scott's Armstutz, the Col- lingwood Avenue boys found them- selves on the short end of 30-12. Pilot Weis played his second stringers most of the last quarter and they battled on even terms with the Bulldogs and the final score found the North-End- ers again winning, 33-19. Jack Kennedy, Allen, and Kornowag were high for the Bears, garnering 12, 8, and 7 points respectively while Wilusz played his usual fine Iioor game and contributed 4 points to the Woodward cause. Wakefield was high for Scott, getting 6 points. Drawings For Tournament Take Place Next Tuesday Drawings for the Sectional Basket- ball Tournament will be held Monday noon, February 26 at the Willard Ho- tel.

Bears Meet Sylvania Once again the Woodward quintet will tangle with Sylvania Burnham tonight. This annual meeting of these teams will be played at Ma- comber High School. The event was scheduled for the Bruin's hardwood, but due to the personal fuel shortage, the plans have been changed. Coach Hanhanrs boys should hold the edge over the Wildcats, but a bitter game will be fought by the energentic Sylvanians. . IN TRA-MURAL RESULTS Heading the games in the Girls' Intra-mural Basketball Tournament last Thursday was the encounter be- tween the Merri Macs and Polarettes.

DuHart Jones Harrison COACH HOMER HANHAM'S BEARS DEFEAT SCOTT FOR FIRST PLACEg HARRISON STARS Over 5000 people at the University of Toledo Fieldhouse saw the Wood- ward Bears romp to their second con- secutive city championship in as many years when-they toppled Scott's basketeers, 39-31. Last year the Polar Bears had to be content as co-champs with DeVil- biss, but made up for that last Friday night by defeating Scott for the sec- ond time this year, icing the top notch slot. - h . At first the game was a repetition of the last meeting. Woodward had racked up seven points before Dasch- ner connected on a foul shot. Lanky Leon Jones, Scott sharpshooter, hit a one-hander and Daschner contributed two more fouls to bring the quarter score to a 7-5 mark. Teams Tense ln the second frame the tension increased to a great point as each team fouled constantly, but neither could connect on the foul tries. How- ever, the Collingwood cagers matched Woodward with four points. The score stood at 11-9 in the Bear's favor at the intermission. When the last half opened the North Enders played up to their usual par as Cal DuHart and Bob Harrison unlashed some tricky shots to start off a scoring barrage. Then Jones exploded for three quick buckets to bring the Bulldogs up within close range of the Bears. In the final eight minutes Woodward continued such a hot pace that Scott couldn't keep up with them. Y A . Scott Loses Stars With two minutes remaining Han- ham's Bears led 31-20. Daschner hit a long shot and Jones connected for three fouls for the cause, but the loss of Vern Allen and big Ed Nugent 'rut a kink in the machine. The contest finally ended 39-31 in Woodward's favor.

In the near future, the Tattler sports staff will attempt to pick all city and all tournament cage teams. Y Pi' 9' Rumor has been going around that a petition is in circulation around Woodward, bringing baseball back to the sportlight. PF QF PF Down in the southern part of the state there's a hot basketball team that seems to be burning up the leagues. It is none other than Mid- dletown's Middies that seemed to be destined for another state champion- ship crown. 14 at Ill Another former Woodward oppon- ent is Canton Lehman, who suffered its third setback of the season. Akron West topped them by a 4 point mar- gin, 50 to 46. PF PF all ' Toledo fans are still wondering if a city cage team will be represented in the state wide tournament to be held here in the near future. Keep plug- gin' Woodward. During the first aid periods, senior gymnasters are taking to weight lift- ing and tumbling, under the direction of Homer Hanham. Captain Sobecki Maintains High Average 'To Pace Team Mike Miller and Norm Sobecki again paced the American League Keglers to victory over a hapless Waite team. Neither Mike nor team captain, Norm, has fallen below 500 total points in the last eight weeks. Again Mr. Miller lead both leagues in scoring with 570 points while Mr. Sobecki's '565 gave him third' place behind Central's Johnny Juhasz who' garnered 566 last Saturday. Other American scores are Ray Szenderski's 436 total .and Dick Kurdy's 431 pins. Rick Kurdy's a new member of the team, replaced Skip Smith who is ill. The victory put the Amerks five games ahead of DeVilbiss and Libbey, who are tied for second place. Nats Sfiw Up Tripping Waite's Nationals three games Woodward's National Keglers are within two games of league lead- ing Macomber. The robot men dropped two games to Scott last Sat- urday. These defeats gives the Nats a better chance to overtake the Mechs. Gene Winters lead the Bears with 532 pins while Dan Bieniek, usually high scorer, was second with 518 total. Team captain, Ralph Ga- jewski was next with 508 pins al- though he was closely pressed by Norm Lisiakoski's 498. Bringing up the rear was Joe Frankowski with 400 pins. ABIE H CONFESSES E Howard Haynes opened his eyes and mouth widely on September 22, 1027, at 1745 Maywood, and uttered his first words Keep Cool. Abra- ham ventured to fforced by lawj Spring Grade School, and after grad- uating came to Woodward where upon he began his basketball career. In his sophomore year Abie went out for football and starred at end posi- tion along with Bob Harrison on L. C. Clark's reserve grid squad. ' . Howard capitalized at the high Jump event on Coach Art Smith's track team last season. He intends to compete in all three of the sports this year. Outside of school Howie is a jive fan and can be found jitterbugging any Saturday night at the Canteen QT-Town Rendezvousj. This athlete's spare time is spent at home, or at Billy Harris' house. He is often seen around with his team- mate Cal Duhart . . . Wolfing!! Upon graduation Howard intends to attend Wilberforce College and play football if possible.

Come to acomber -TOWN Tonight H AL L - Noted author, lecturer, and novelist, Maurice Hindus, just back from Russia where heserved as a war correspondent, spoke on the history and people of Russia in his lecture to members of the Town Hall. Born in Russia, he has visited the Soviet Union on numerous occasions and at the aige of 52 -is ranked by critics among the country's leading writers. A few of his books include: Humanity Up1'ooted, Green Worlds, and his most recent novel, Mother Russia. Mr. Hindus praised the American standards of living in comparison with those of his native land. The speaker explained that the Russians expect to kill fascism in coun- tries near her. Switzerland is considered a fascist country because she is allowing important high German officials and officers to enter her boundar- ies. He added that the Reds intend to prosecute and punish these men ac- cording to their murderous deeds. Never in all the time that Mr. Hindus was in Russia, did he hear any person talk of a war between the United States and Russia, but he believes that the U.S.S.R. will join in the war against Japan. When German prisoners of war in Russia were asked why they started this war, they answered thus, Hitler rose to power and the people on earth. The lecturer stated, Russia Wants first of a peaceful Europe and second, a chance of rehabilitation. He concluded his talk by saying that America will be the great country after the war. - 5 ,415 mfs kv: 1 CALL ARMS We start this week oil' with news of Ray Manders who is stationed Somewhene in New Guinea.

Number 000002, alias Small Fry, alias Shadow, alias Colleen Gribbin i. . . step down. At any moment the forementioned convicts expected to hear the above remarks. They were none other than two Woodward students, waiting to interview Sergeant Margaret Slater. The purpose of the visit was to ob- tain material for a debate being held in Mrs. Kathryn Sehuler's second hour English class. Do you think that the Swing Inn is doing its share to curb juven- ile delinquency? was the leading question asked of Sergeant Slater. She stated that it' definitely is not doing anything to prevent delin- quency, however, she believes that it is a grand place for students to s end their leisure time. The only thing we of the police department, have against it, is its locality, she went on to say. Instead of the boys and girls going straight home when it closes, they linger around town, and previous to the midnight curfew, they catered to late shows. The only rem- edy to this would be to have local canteens. - Following the interview the two girls were shown, through the top floor of the safety building where people are detained until their case comes to trial. During the tour the girls viewed the types of cells for the insane, narcotics, thieves, in- ebriated persons, and others. De- linquent girls are kept in a special dormitory. Friendship Club Plans Tea Plans are being made for a tea to be held sometime in the near future by members of the Friendship Club. Miss Belle Joseph is abvisor. Basil O'Connor Speaks On Behalf - Oi Red'Cross Fund I . Mrs. Mary O'Brien In an effort to further the Red Cross War Fund Drive, Basil O'Con- nor, national chairman of the U. S. Red Cross, spoke to Toledo Red Cross representatives and workers in the Commodore Perry ballroom last Mon- day afternoon. Mr. O'Connor-spoke on his recent trip to Europe where he viewed Red Cross field work. The girls who do such remarkable work aiding our men in the field are always on the job combining ingenuity with cheer- fulness, stated Mr. O'Connor. Throughout Europe, devastation has been enormous and the real work of the Red Cross will not begin until after the war when the people of Europe need help in rebuilding their lives. He also commented on the wonderful work Red Cross aides in Europe are doing for pilots who are recovering from mental shock in the rest homes. This Red Cross Drive will be a success because the American people always contribute to anything that does good or aids people, was Mr. O'Connor's closing remark. Representing the Toledo Junior Red Cross at the meeting were Bessie Papps, city-wide Junior Red Cross president, Jean Gnyszek, Tattler edi- tor, both of Woodward, and two rep- resentatives of Scott High School. Mrs. Mary O'Brien, Woodward Junior Red Cross advisor, also attended. E. L. Bowsher, superintendent of Toledo schools, has designated March 1 through 16 as the period for Red Cross contributions in the schools. Mrs. O'Brien is in complete charge of contributions from faculty mem- bers, office force, engineers, main- tenance and cafeteria workers here at Wordward. Seniors Begin Term Paper Consisting of 3000 Words Senior English students of Mrs. Hazel McMsnamon have begun work on their most important project of the semester, a term paper consisting of not more than 3,000 words. Several weeks ago the students chose their specific topic and com- menced to look up all the books and periodicals on that chosen subject in the Readers Guide. A working bibliogra- phy was then made up and now until may research will be done until the paper is completed. It is necessary to read at least 15 books and the paper must contain footnotes and a bibliog- raphy. May 10th is the closing date for the paper. ,Committees for the annual Zet dance were chosen Monday during the B schedule. l THE WOODWARD TATTLER i-THE woonwnnn TllTTLER Published and Printed Every School Week by the ' Pupils of Woodward High School.

Hugh Montgomery Damaging Photos On Display DISPLAY of photographs taken by the Com- munity Traction Company is now in the dis- play case on the second Hoor. As everyone of you students can see, the destruction that has been done by the high school students to and from school and to the basketball games is nothing to be proud of. There is a war going on now as all of us know, and all kinds of automobile replacements are hard to get. The Traction Company is nice enough to provide you with busses and you should be 'more appreciative of its service. A newly painted seat back is very tempting to a carving knife or e fingernail file, or a snowball in hand is also very tempting to keep from throwing at such a huge target. .- If ydu must carve Janie's or Johnnie's name do it someplace else. When you have to wait for a bus for thirty minutes or more, maybe that bus you want to catch is laid up in a car barn for re- pairs. If you co-operate with Community Traction Company they'l1 co-operate with you. New Staff . Positions Held t N PREPARATION for next year when they will have responsibility of editing the Tattler, jun- ior membersof this year's staff are taking over positions during the next few months. Having listed the position they feel they are best suited for, they will be shifted around to find which one they are best adapted to. Through this, the students will be able to select the right person for the right job. Building Broken In Over Holiday , HILE students and faculty were enjoying a brief holiday, vandals entered the building and ransacked A. J. Brown's office evidently in search of money. In their quest, they broke windows in both the athletic office and in Principal LaRue's as well, forcing both to be closed Friday until repaired. Since no money is kept in either office, the thieves didn't prosper by their visit. The damage they left in their wake, however, was not small. We hope that when the culprits are found they may be taught a greater respect for private pro- perty aud the American Way. , New Mirrors . -Appreciated i ' E IRLS of Woodward consider themselves quite ' ,fortunate according to remarks overheard ' . in the lavatories concerning the arrival of six foot-wide mirrors, which Principal LaRue promised to them at a recent assembly. The total cost amounted to ninety-nine dollars, which was taken from the general fund, while the workman- ship was furnished by the Board of Education.

' Thus do we come to the tournament drawing for brackets and positions in these brackets. Woodward has drawn a tough opponent for their first game, in throwing their strength against' Bill Fetter's Waite Indians next Monday in the feature game of a three-card attraction. The second round will find the winner of the Bear-Indian game matching ability with the victor of the Whitmer-Sylvania encounter on Wednesday, and the team that overcomes one of those two teams goes into the semi-finals next Friday, meeting the winner of the Clay-Macombei' sc1'ap. ' Student' tickets-for the tournament will be sold here in the school and at the Field House, the latter only on Saturday, prol viding identification cards are shown. Official prices, stand at 50 cents for student tickets, 75 for adults, and 25 for elementary school children. ' Scott and Woodward are the pre-tourney favorites to collide in the finals, although Rossford, Central, Macomber, and Libbey are also prominent. Drawings were made on Monday, February 26, at a meeting of officials at the Willard Hotel. Norman Wolfe, of the Toledo Times, and Charles French, of the Toledo Blade, were also present. WOODWARD FACES WAITE FINAL LEAGUE GAME, TROUNCE SYLVANIA AT MACOMBER to appear in tonight's contest with Gregus To Cause Polar Bears Plenty of Trouble Tonight the league leading Wood- ward Polar Bears, under the able guidance of Homer Hanham, Bruin cage mentor, invade the University Field House for the final city contest of the year. The Polarites, already positive holders of city championship for 45, will be able to annex a streak of 12 straight victories and clinch the loop title tonight if Pilot H. His scoring machine runs true to form. The East Siders, a serious threat, although with a record of 9 ,defeats and 1 victory, will carry a quintet roster of Clinton Knitz at center, Carl Armstrong and Don Lay- man at guards and Bill Gregusnand Jim Young at the forward positions. K Gregus Main Threat The Waite offensive hinges on tiny Carl Armstrong and sharp shooting Bill Gregus. Armstrong ran up 7 points for the Redskins high score mark in the earlier 36-22 meeting of the two clubs. Gregus ran up 10 points against DeVilbiss a couple of weeks ago. Quarter scores of the game's first half were tied at 3 all and Waite 10-8 at the intermission. Remember tonight's the last city loop game and the Polar Bears are out to win. Probable Line-up Robert Harrison-R.F.-Wm. Gregus Paul Seymour-L.F.-James Young Calvin Duhart-C-Clinton 'Knitz Frank. Sloan-R.G.--Carl Armstrong Chas. Lentz-L.G.-Donald Layman North Enders Take Burnham By 45 lo 25 Count - Without the aid of Paul Seymour, usual starting forward, the Wood- ward Polar Bears thumped a stub- born Sylvania quintet 45 to 25 in a non-league game at the- Macomber high school gym. Seymour, who was confined to the bench, missed his first game in four years of competition, and is not likely Waite, unless the Bears are having a little difficulty. Sharpshooting Bob Harrison chalked up 13 points to lead the North Enders to their fifth win over an out of town opponent this year. Harrison used his'height to a great advantage during the whole game and supplied a few fast breaks that caught the Burnham five off guard. DeBord Hot Shot Throughout the first half Sylvania managed to keep pace with Wood- ward as a result of DeBord's accurate long shots. At the intermission the Bears led 16-14. R Abie Haynes, Cal DuHart, and Frank Sloan supplied most of the scoring in the-third and fourth quar- ters as each contributed numerous long shots. Haynes was second in the scoring totals with eight points, with DuHa1-t and Sloan following with seven'each. ' Lightweights Rally for Win Woodward and Sylvania's reserve teams staged an unusual game last Friday night in the Macomber Hi gym. Raveley connected for the Burnhamites to give the Sylvania's a 2-0 first period lead. As the game 'entered into its second stanza, Kor- nowa got a charity toss for the Bruins' first score, giving Sylvania a 5-1 lead. In desperation, Coach Wil- son Weis inserted a whole new string and both teams left the floor in a 5-5 deadlock. The second string started the sec- ond half' for the North Enders and the score read 7-6 as the Woodward first string re-entered the fray. There on came the unusual part of the game as Wilusz, Kornowa, Kennedy, and Bennett start hitting from all over and at the same time bottled up the Sylvania offense so effectively that the West Enders failed to add to their score for the remainder of the ggme as Woodward won another one, 3 -6. X- Kennedy and Kornowa were high for the Bears gathering 8 and 11 points respectively. Case and Rav- eley got all of Sylvania's points get- ting 3 points apiece. wars-MEN DEFEAT . RIGNIRISH-FIVE Bennett Racks Twelve As Reserves Win , Again Riding the victory horse, rough-shod and rampant, Coach Wilson Wies light- weight cagers captured a 34-28 crown conflict from a valiant Centralite squad. Tuegday night in a game which was thrill packed and decided the. running forthe city reserve race. George Bennett, guard, was the spark- plug and big gun in the Cub offensive as be, hit the ring for 4 fielders and 4 foul shots to lead the scoring depart- ment with 12 points. Jack Kennedy, C. Allen, and Johnny Kornowa, followed with 9, 6, and 7 markers, respectively Although not a scoring threat, Jim Wilusz provided the defensive punch as he held tall Art Bok to 5 markers dur- ing the game. Blackwell was the spark in the Irish attack as he registered 4 tallies for the Cherry Streeters. The lightweights led at every quart- er by edges of 9-3, 18-13,24-21, and 34 28. This afternoon the Bears can clinch undisputed possession of the champion- ship race by taking the Waite light- weight aggregation as the Polarites can't lose in order to maintain the first place position. Attend the game this afternoon and see the 45 reserves in action for the last time. . NATS' KNocK Mnens FROM FIRST PLACE Woodward's National League Keg- lers toppled the Mechanics from first place last Saturday by garnering wins in all three games. Dan Bieniek and Norm Lisiakowski paced the cur- rent loop leaders with 504 and 500 total pins respectively. Team captain Ralph Gajewski was close behind with a 489 total. Gene Winters and Joe Frankowski the other members of what looks like a championship team rolled 422 and 393 scores respectively. Steve Timar lead the losers with a 517 total closely followed by Steve Gall with 514 pins. The Bears, who have fought up- wards all season now have a firm hold on first place. Macomber Victor Over Woodward Bob Jacksey paced a high fling Ma- comber team to three victories over Woodward's A m e r i c a n League champs at the Auditorium last Satur- day. Norm Sobecki and Mike Miller rolled above the 500. pin mark as usual. Norm garnered 514 pins while Mike rolled a 510 total. Bowling a 482, Skip Smith was next on the scoring parade. Dick Kurdys made a. 385 for the low score of the day. This was the first time in two years the Amerks were beaten three games. They are still two games ahead 'of DeVilbiss who they bowl tomorrow.

Woodward To-Be On Forum Can the United Nations Plan Ad- equately for a Permanent Peace on the Basis of Present Proposals? This is the topic for the next forum between Woodward and Burnham High,Tuesday March 13 at 2:00 over WTOL. This concerns the Dumbarton Oaks proposal. Anyone is eligible to subm- it an essay which must not contain more 500 words. These are to be turned in to Miss Helen Marie Griffin. Mildred Ludlum J Vim, Vigor and Vitality are the -three best words which describe Mil- dred Ludlum, author of the script Meggie Macintosh which is. to be presented soon. A graduate of Hamilton, Milly, now a sophomore, entered Woodward and began a very busy life claiming membership in the Fasces club, Peris, Aeolian, friendship and dramatic clubs. This year she carries five sub- jects but wanting to keep peace with all the teachers, she claims no special one but likes them all. As for friends, she can usually be seen with Joan Kolinski and like two loyal Woodwardites they never miss a basketball game. When asked about her male ,inter- est, she calmly stated that she thinks all boys are a bother. She admitted, however, that a sophomore boy rates high but -due to the fact that he blushes easily, his name must remain secret. She is a member of the journalism class, and hopes some day to fullfill the position of special feature editor on the Tattler. This is only her sec- ond year of radio and she is looking' forward to the success of the script she has written. Milly also has writ- ten a fairytale called Legend of the Black Stallin which she hopes will be produced sometime next year. After interviewing Milly, we know the script will be a successan-d we offer our congratulations for a fine piece of work.

La Rue to Tour After distributing his booklet to the eiglath grade students of -Wood- wai-d's istrict, Principal LaRue will then make his annual speaking' tours to the grade schools in this locality. Although no - definite schedule has been made for this tour as yet, Mr. LaRue expects to make it during April. S. B. Crouse Repairs Files S. B. Crouse and his boys have re- paired the files of A. J Brown, Wood- ward athletic director. The files were damage when vandals ransacked the offices of Mr. Brown and Principal La- Rue February 22. The records are now ready for use again. JUNIBRS, SENIORS T0 BE GIVEN PATCH TESTS MARCH 12 IN GYMS Through the combined project of! the Board of Education and City Health Department, junior and senior boys and girls in all Toledo high schools, public and parochial, will be given a patch test for tuberculosis. In Woodward this test will be given Monday, March 12 at nine o'clock to the boys and girls in their re- spective gyms. C0y's Girls To Assist Administering this test will be Dr. W. Hartung and three nurses, Mrs. M. Limes, Miss P. Cannon, and Miss F. McCrea, all of the health depart- ment, who will be assisted by Etta Grow, Valerie Kmiec, Dolores Gawor- onski, Dolores Parker, Emma Henry, Arlene Saitre and Eleanor Tissing, The patch will be applied to either the arm, chest, or back, being re- moved after a forty-eight period on members of Miss Hazel Coy's home nursing class. March 14. Students will be recalled to the gyms on March 16 and their reaction to the test will be read by the doctor and his assistants. If the test proves positive, which shows that the student at some time has come in contact with a person who has the disease, pupils will be given the op- portunity to take an X-ray to show absolute proof whether he is afflicted or not with the disease. Sr. 'Boys Previously Tested Q Previous tests were given to ninety senior boys and 17 had a positive reading, but after submitting to an X-ray, it was proven that the boys had no sign of tuberculosis. , Miss Coy states there are 661 stu- dents who should take the test. Slips were distributed to the students Mon- day which were to be taken home and signed by their parents or guardian, as no students will be given the test without their consent. Fulfill Pledgesg Help Obtain Flag Do you remember those pledges you made early in the year? Pledges to buy war stamps, every week until the war is over. Student Council stamp records show that most of you kids have forgot- ten. There are about 1,682 students in school and only 850 are buying. Last month 51000 worth of stamps were sold. It was estimated by Miss Dorothea Bishop, student council ad- visor, that only 51W of the student body buys stamps regularly- This is a bud record but it is not too lute to do something about it. Some time during the month of May there will bc another drive, the seventh one since Pearl Harbor. You can start buy- ing now and if everyone pitches in and buys, we may still be able to get that minute man flag. B AMERICANS ' Zzenderski - J. Amborski - Kurdys Sobecki - Miller - R.

Baccalaureate Services To Be Discussed Marcl1s13 Because a great deal of arrange- ments must be made for the senior Baccalaureate service, which is held the Sunday before graduation, the service will not take place unless enough stu- dents plan to attend. To approximate the number of stu- dents who will attend the service, se a- iors will be asked to sign a paper stating whether or not they will be present. The Baccalaureate committee is corn - posed of Roberta Graham, chairman, Ruth Ann Schroeder, Alice Brach, Bonnie Lee,Phi1lip Monsour, and Lloyd Roach. Due to the scholarship tests given this week, the senior class meeting to discuss this matter was postpond until Tuesday, March 13. Woodward Students Make American Legion Posters Poppy posters for the American Le- gion are being started by Woodward students. This project is completely voluntary, and anyone may enter. These must be finished by May 1, at which time they will be picked up by the chairman of the American Legion. Five posters should be submitted by Mrs. Phyllis Lentz and Miss June An- derson. So far Paul Kolasinski, Robert Rgbarczyk, and Dick Stager have start- e work on poster ideas. rlv' THE WOODWARDZTATTLER .

M ary Hitler Petitions Decide Service Status AJCR senior activities of the year include the Baccalaureate service which is held the Sunday before graduation. Procurement of the speaker must be made by Principal LaRue in order to have a worthwhile speech in advances. During the past several years, Mr. LaRue has been embarrassed unnecessarily by the lack of attend- ance at these services. The speaker prepares a talk which takes time and effort and must give it- to an audience composed of a very small percent- age of the senior class. . This year students will be asked to sign a peti- tion stating that they will attend or if enough stu- dents do not sign the s 'rvice will be eliminated. ...i-.. ... Keep Cheering, Win Or Lose NCE again Woodward's basketball team is en tered in the district tournament and once again a loyal student body is following them, win or lose. With eleven high schools entened in the tournament, confusion is very apt to reign unless the many students from these schools co-operate. Buy your tickets in advance at school and don't wait until the last minute. When at the game, try to sit with your fellow students instead of being scattered among the crowd apart from the gang This makes for better cheering and more fun. Most important of all, whether the team wins or loses, KEEP CHEBJRING! Praise On Good Behavior At Lenten Services ENTEN service attendance and the attention rendered to the speaker at the first service de- serve a note of praise. Let us hope that stu- ents will be as well represented and behaved at future programs of this type. Woodward's special chorus spread a feeling of serenity by their beautifulrenditions of Lift Thine Eyes ' and The Lord's Prayer. However, we remind students that applause is unnecessary in a religious service, and suggest that appreciation be shown by silent attentiveness toward both speaker and singers. Write V-Mail Often, Plainly AIL is important... It is one of the little things that is the big thing to a fighting man. It is morale.Fully aware that the best fighting man is one with a high morale, the Navy, through its Mail service, make every eifort to provide accur- ate mail delivery to bluejackets, marines, and coastguardmen wherever they may be throughout the world. Write to your serviceman as often as possible, but write plainly, or else those WAVES in the Fleet Post Office have 'no other choice than to mark unsuitable for filming.

Fathers' Love Li fe Today I was never so shocked in my life. Father told me all about his and mother's love life. It all began when I asked him who the greatest dic- tator in the world was and he said he married her. Before they were married he said he was well off but he never knew how well. They were married ten years yesterday and father said they should kill a chicken and celebrate but Mother said what's,the use of making a chicken suffer for their mistake. Yesterday Father accused Mother of taking a quarter from his pocket but she said she didn't know he had a quarter. She never put her hands in his pockets and besides she said their wasa hole in that pocket. He did love her when they were engaged but to tell you the truth he doesn't care for married women. He has one condolence though. He said that mabe Eleanore will leave him. Eleanore's his wife. Some wives leave their hus bands and take everything, others take everything but don't leave. E Ah, Sweet Love Now that Valentine's Day is over you boys can come out of hiding. Cupid shot straight for Donald Francis' heart, but missed. His pants look so fun- ny with an arrow into someplace.

X Northwestern Ohio Cage Tourney Draws To Close Polar Bears Oppose Mechs To Decide Champions Of Lower Bracket The Northwestern Ohio basketball tournament rolls up to the Grand finale tonight and tomorrow night at Toledo University field house as the Woodward Polar Bears take on Ma- comber's Robot Men on thc spacious court of the U. gym. As this sport page goes to press with the quarter-final results incom- plete as yet we will venture to name lhe semi-finalist teams which include Macomber, Woodward, Libbey and the winner of the Central-Scott fray. ' Tough Tourney Schedule This year's tourney schedule is ex- ceptionally tough as the games are set up for four out of six possible playing nights. To come through the top team must be under 'continual strain and. extreme pressure not to mention the constant danger of being eliminated. All pre-tourney talk and predictions come to a head in these two all-important games. The college card featuring the usual double bracket schedule is being handled by Tom Bender and Jim Kinney, officials appointed by thc tournament committee of which Clyde Hari- is manager. The four teams meeting tonight are subsequently the strongest tourney quintets in the area as deductive reasoning runs. The Polar Bears and the Craftsmen will decide the lower bracket champs in the 32 minute conflict tonight. Roth teams hold bcttcr than poinlf :1-minute averages. Opposing Fives The opposing fivcs stuck up fairly oven but, if you will remember, thc Mac men were tournament under- dogs last season and managed to overcome a ,strong DeVilbiss crew and go to the finals with Woodward. The Monroe Street otency is bot- tled up in tall Cal Christensen who explodes with scoring glory every time he comes near the bucket. He is definitely 3'thc man to watch. Although the Polarites have beaten the robotecrs on two different oc- casions thcy still offer a Serious threat as the boys of Vtfally Ardney :always present a strong tourney bid for honor. The games begin at 7:15 and 8:30 respectively, with the District and Consolation Victors being' decided as a result. Merri Macs Take Lead Playing off a first place deadlock, the Merri Macs defeated the Bounc- ing Beauties by the decisive score of 23-10 on Thursday, March 1, when the Girls' Intra-mural Basketball Tournament ended. The Lightweight Pin Ups and the Polarettes grabbed their games by forfeits from the Hi Team and Big Shots. Standings find: Merri Macs in first placeg Bouncing Beauties, second: Hi Team, thirdg Polarettes, fourthg Lightweight Pin Ups, fifth: and Big Shots, Sixth. First place Merri Macs, headed by Betty Lou Claypool, 'are all senior members of the Girls Leaders' Club. Other members of this team, which also has been the champion of the softball and volleyball tournaments this year, are Gloria Aberling, Veron- ica Jakubowski, Eileen Trondle, Anne Kornowa, Dorothy Best, Gwen Bern- ing, Stella Gussis, Marian Karg, and Vivian Skaff. Amerks and Natsillmead P n+Leaguesi The high flying American League Bowling squad really went to town last Saturday at the Auditorium as they humb'ed DeVilbiss whipping them all three games. Piling up 2,684 total pins as a. team, they completely overshadowed the Bengal's,2,2.48. The Bears are now three games ahead of second place Libbey who they bowl one week after, tomorrow's encounter with Scott. Ray Szenderski was high scorer in the league as well as for his team with a 57 8 series. Ray garnered a high 214 in- the initial game. Next in scoring' was captain, Norm Sobecki, who trailed Bob Sager of Waite in league point making with a 521. Rolling a 503, Mike Miller remained above the 500 point mark as he has for most of the season. Dick Kurdy made a 468 series. Although Skip Smith missed the first game, he managed to roll up 414 points. Skip garnered a 224, highest single game and a 190. in the last game. , NAT HOLD LEAD Woodwa1'd's National 'League Keglers won two close games from Central. Second place Macomber dropped one game to Libbey so the League standings leave the Bears one game in the lead. Del-'ilbiss, who won all three of their games, are pressing the top teams closely for the championship. ' Gene Winte1 S 471 series was good for first place in scoring. Usually the high scorer with over 500 pins, Dan Bieniek hit a slump and rolled a 445. Close behind was Norm Lisiakowski with a 435 series. Joe Franliowski and Ralph Gajewski, team captain rolled 417 and 410 series respectively. - W0-ODWARD FORCED 'H. PHIPPS COACHING TO SHARE CROWN t BOWEQT-G CHAMPS Weis Coach Wilson Wcis' reserve team failed in their bid for undisputed cage champimship in their league as they bowed before Waite's vastlv improved reserves, in the Woodward gym, 23- 15, thus ending their season with a record of nine wins and three losses and sharing thc title with Macomber and Central. The first half was played on fairly even terms. Neither team was con- sistent in their scoring as the In- dians, paced by Weaver, finished the first stanza on the bright side of an 817 score. With John Kornowa and Jimmy Wilusz leading thc way the Bears lcft the Hour after a rough second quarter one point behind the Papooses, 10-9, as Waite clicked on their fouls to keep them ahead. g Inaccuracy Foils Cubs The third and final eriod found the Bears shooting far og, their passing poor, and Waite's height far too much. Sellee and Weaver continued to lead the East Sidex-'s attack and the boys from across the river forged on to a 20-11 third quarter margin. As the game entered its final minutes the North Enders tired and under nerve-racking pressure just couldn't click and despite their desperate last minute valiant efforts the game ended in a 23-15 defeat for the Bears. Weaver was high for Waite with 12 points, while John Kornowa led Woodward with six. Probably con- tributing greatly to the Cub's loss was their ineifectiveness at the foul Mr. Phipps Coach of the championship bowling teams is Howard Phipps. Mr. Phipps has been advisor to these groups since they originated eight or nine fears ago. He also coaches the golf ram. ' Mr. Phipps obtained his bachelor of Arts Degree from Yale University and his Master's Degree from the University of Michigan. He has been teaching since 1922, and has been here at Woodward since the new building opened.. . ' This is the first time that one school has captured both champion- ship honors in one year, stated Mr. Phipps, and I am very satisfied with both teams. Gym Shorts Results of girls basketball skill tests given a few weeks ago were revealed by gym instructors, Miss Catherine Mc- ' lure and Mrs. Jack Taylor. Foul shoot- ing, throwing at a target, and making baskets, comprimised this test, for which the following grades were record- ed: inline A's, 319 B's, 335 C's 13 D's and wo s. Members of the Girls' Leaders club administered these tests. line. Waite made 71 k of their free throws while the Bears wound up with a 28 72i. The team established a fine record this year and played hard, clean ball and despite the let-down we're all proud of them. Nice going guys! Woodward Clicks To Annex Initial Tournament Victory Polar Bears Pepper Basket Bolstering Uncanny Accuracy Toledo's city cage champs virtually ransacked a fighting Waite squad Monday night for step number one in the ladder to the state tournament. The high-flying Polar Bears overran the Waiters 49-26 in a hectic rough and tumble contest which included 38 personal fouls. Individual stars were Bob Harrison, Cal Duhart, and How-. ard Haynes for the Bruins with 15 and 10 points each, respectively. , Bill Gregus, living up to pre-game expectations, racked 14 markers and led the East Side Hit Parade on both the offensive and defensive. For the winners, Haynes was the shooting and passing threat as he flipped quick ones to Harrison and Duhart in the pivot, outwitting the somewhat weaker Waite defense. The intermission scores ran 9-2, 28-10, 37-15, and the final count 49-26. Every member oi' the tourney team saw action, with every player scor- ing, but two. Sonny Lentz, Frank Sloan, and Syl Kozakiewicz were also big guns in offense. The Bears an- nexed a streak of 18 scholastic con- quests in a row, 'by handing defeat to Bill Fetters' boys. Bruins' Defeat Indians Friday Woodward's Polar Bears found- it somewhat easy in defeating the Waite Indians last Friday at the field-' house, when every member of the team saw an equal amount of action in the 38-28 victory ride. , By virtue of this win, the Bears wound up a perfect record in city league competition, winning 12 straight games. Also, the victory over the East Siders gave them a season record of 17 wins and one loss, that at the hands of B.G.U.'s B season. Waite in the team in the earlier part of the Coach Bill Fetters of the team played his senior team, city final, but this didn't have a bear- Homer ing on the North Enders, as Hanham likewise played his seven seniors. . Q l Woodward wasn't pressed at any time of the game, as the usual start- ing five blasted the hoop from all angles. After the halftime score of 28-6, Hanham used his reserves the remainder of the game, who in turn managed to keep a ten point lead. Cal Duhart and Don Lavman paced both teams respectively as each nabbed eight and six points. J.

This person happens to be none other than Dolores Wujciak. Besides being president of the Peri- clean Literary Society, she has the lof- ty position as Military Editor on the Tattler.

BOTANY CLASSES START SEED DRIVE Second S e eid Collection Is Scheduled For March 22 Seed catalogs were distributed Tues day, by Miss Grace Cronk's first hour botany class in aneffort to get both stu- dents and faculty ready for spring gar den season. Those who bought the seeds last year found them very successful, stated Miss Cronk, as she looks forward to a very succesful drive. Orders for seeds will be taken through first hour classes. Seeds must be paid for when the orders are placed. The Hrst order was taken Thursday, and another will follow in two weeks, on March 22. L ' The drive is in accordance with gov- ernment wishes that now, more than ever, people keep victory gardens to help lessen the grave food situation. WUJCIAK, Voss ATTEND TOWN HALL, MARK VAN -DOREN DISCUSSES POETRY Dismissing his original topic, ls Poetry Hard to Read? by stating that poetry is difficult to read because it is profound, Mark Van Doren dis- cussed the relationship between the war and the poetry of today. Al- though most of the good poets do not write of the necessity of progress of the war, their feelings regarding it are reflected in their works. In June, 1940, Winston Churchill was the only man who was not afraid people. Everyone was. This idea was of the German else in the world brought out in The Single Hero, not written it with to refer to Church- although he had specific intention ill. His poem, 'Whom the War Muf- fles, disclosed his idea thatthe war is not hardest on the boys, though some are dying, or on the old people, who are more or less spectators, but on the middle aged people, the par- ents.. ' Showing the predicament of the civilians watching the boys dying for them, was brought out by Mary Ann Moore, in In Distrust of Merits, which Mr. Van Doren prophecied would be one of the lasting poems of this war. Another celebrated American poet is Robert Frost, who will be seventy years old this month. On his seven- tieth birthday, he is going to have published A Mask of Reason. Al- though yet unpublished, parts of this poem were read by the speaker who again predicted, This poem will sur- vive the war. The author poet seemed quite ap- palled by the large audience and spoke shyly. He closed his lecture with mention of the fact that he had intended' his talk to be in a miscel- laneous fashion. Both Woodward representatives, Jackie Wujciak and Edward Voss, agreed that the talk was enlightening and inspiring. Tomorrow, Senora Jewel de Bonilla will fill the engagement scheduled February 24 for Allen Haden, South American newspaper correspondent detained in Mexico City by sessions ot' the- Pan-American conference.

C. LaRue opened the yearly fresh- man meeting and then introduced Mr. Baumker. Mr. Baumker than proceeded to tell the students about the opportunities, vocations, and courses offered at Macomber and stressed the idea that one should choose a vocation and course, in preparation for his life ambition, that will interest him most. He stated that a job-seeker should be trained to do one job well instead of doing several jobs badly and since only a small percentage of high school stu- dents continue their schooling at college, the student should train for a vocation while still in high school. to the latter O. M. Thompson part of the meeting was open for questions. , Parkland Boys Attend Boys from Parkland who attended the meeting were: Robert Currie, Jerry McDonald, Lauren Stange, William Smith, Andrew Swick, and Eugene Bush. They were chaperoned by F. B. Moss. ESSAY ON RESPECT BY W.H.S. TEACHER fEd. Note: A Woodward teacher has requested that the following article be published in this week's Tattler.J Respect, like loyalty, is one of .the master qualities of the human being. If we haven't any respect for anybody or any thing, no respect for other peo- ple's work, we have no self-respect either and,consequently, have no value in life. Our ultimate aim in life is to be hap- py, but how can we be happy if we are constantly destroying the happiness of others? And that is exactly what's be- ing done daily. School-chairs and desks are wantonly destroyed, thumbtacks carelessly taken, leaving the bulletin board in amost careless condition, the same board that bespoke care, interest in work, and neatness. To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high wa ind the low soul climbs the lowi And in between on the mistyliats The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A High and a Low, And every man decideth ' The why his soul should go. Which road are you climbing? Ifyou were on the wrong road, are you will- ing to change your couse? Think it over. Special Chorus Entertains Woodward's special chorus enter- tained today at Cherry and the Charles Fielbach schools. They are advertising the music department in Woodward to elementary pupils. Parkland, Spring, LaGrange, and Hamilton sch ols were visite during that past month. 'Edgar Sorton, director, expects to take the band and orchestra to these g schools later in the spring.

TEST RESULTS READ THIS MORNING Plans To Administer Test To Lower Classmeni Being Made Results of the patch test taken by the junior and senior girls and the gju- nior boys were read this morning dur- ing first hour in the gym by three nurses, Miss Thelma McCrea, Miss Phyllis Cannon, and Mrs. Mabel l .imes under the supervision of Dr. W. Hartung. Last Monday 95 junior boys and 277 junior and senior girls were lined up alphabetically in the gym to receive this tuberculosis patch test. Assisting the nurses and the Doctor were Miss Catherine McClure, Mrs. Jane Taylor, Miss Hazel Coy, and six homenursing gir s. , Plans are being perfected to have all freshmen and sophomore students in both public and parochial schools to 'take the test sometime in May. Next fall the patch test will be given only to incoming freshmen. By October the health department should have a fair- ly accurate picture of the predominance of T. B. among high students in Toledo. Money for the materials used for this test is secured through the purchases of Tuberculosis Christmas seals. The Toledo Board of Health and the public school department of health provides the personnel to administer the test. .l...l Pupils Urged To Purchase Student Lunch Each Day Students are being urged to purchase the student lunch oifered by the cafe- teria each day for 15 cents. The govern- ment has stressed a program which provides for a 9 cent refund on student lunches if they have acertain caloric content, therefore, the student is re- ceiving a 24 cent lunch for the price of 15 cents. In addition to the lunch the student may purchase anything else they wish to eat. ,- In a check with the cafeteria, seven student lunches were sold on Monday and 87 lunches bn Tuesday. Special Committee Chosen To Further Stamp Sales To further cooperation of students in purchasing more stamps, a special committee will be appointed during the next Student Council meeting. The main point to be discussed by this committee will be how to follow up rooms where more cooperation is needed. It is hoped that all home rooms can have at least 75 per cent of their members buying war stamps, during the month of March. If 1200 students can be persuaded by the first of April, the total amount for March will be at least S1500-- exceeding the February amount by 5500. Miss Dorothea Bishop hopes to get on the tail of home room representa- tives who are lagging in their eEorts to collect money for stamps from home room pupils. . Senipr Banquet Scheduled 'May 22 At Womans Bldg. May 22 at the Woman's Building has been the date and location set for the annual senior banquet. As a theme the committee, consist ing of Bessie Papps, chairman, Beatrice Slatesg Joyce Bell, Lucille Sorgenfrei, Jacquelyn Wujciak, Eileeen Trondle, Jim Conley, and Jack Cole, has chosen Our Future World Relations. , Members of Miss Angela Abair's home economics class will serve. , T HE QWOOD WARD TATTLER Tll,E CWDDDWARIJ TATTLER Published and Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

Yes, many of you students have reiterated these words in regard to the patch test given last Monday, but not quite know- ing the real purpose of the test. Students seem to think that this test will be harmful, whereas, it will benefit them in many ways. In most cases nine times out of ten, the results of the test are negative, but the few positive readings, after being X-Rayed showed no signs that the per- son was afiiicted with the disease. It is to be un- derstood though that the X-Ray does not cure a person if there are indications that he has the sickness, but merely awarning that something ser- ious may result if nothing is done. Proof of the successful results of this test may be seen in the fact that, out of ninety senior boys tested, seventeen were positive, but after submit- ting to an X-ray, thier reading was negative. So why not disregard all fear in connection with this test, as it will do you no harm, but benefit you greatly' Congratulations Special Chorus OODWARD may well feel proud of the Spe- cial Chorus which was organized at the be- ginning of the year, under the able leader- ship of Edgar Sorton. ' Garbed in black robes with white collars, this all girl organization has been making a tour of the various grade schools in order to interest incom- ing pupils in Woodward's music department. The few times that students and faculty members have had the pleasure of hearing this chorus sing, they have enjoyed it immensly. We feel certain that more of these vocal assemblies here at Wood- ward would be appreciated. Is Woodward a Prison Or a High School? OYS, boys, how could you? Yes, we're talking about the smoking situation. You know Woodward is a high school, not a reforme- tory where Principal LaRue has to act as a ward- en, and the boys are treated like prisoners. You also should show some consideration for the adults who need to smoke for relaxation but can't get cigarettes because you boys buy what little there is. . This is also a warning to any person caught in the act. Their punishment will be a good spank ing by the able bodied Mr. LaRue. No exceptions will be made. Good Luck To Boys I . Who Leave For Service OODWARD will greaty miss the presence of five Woodward boys who left last week . to serve in the armed forces. Richard Joseph, Bob Jacobs, Jack Miles, Emil Darah, and Jim Conley left civilian life to don the uniform of their country to their part for victory. These active and happy-go-lucky boys will be missed in school and all extra-cirricular activities in.which they so readily participated. Good luck, boys, and may you do as well inthe service as you have in school. V ' ' ,-. WOLFE WHISPERSI 1 N g CAMPING OUT We offer our sympathy to Mr. Robie. He isn't safe in his first hour class anymore. Among his freshmen pupils are Art Jones, who drives an am- bulance, Albert Stall, who works in a mortuaryg and John Sinkovic, who runs an elevator for the sick in A hospital. C l I All of the freshmen girls are wondering who that handsome redhead is. He is none other than Bill Wauford, freshman. ' 1 U I Here's a hearty welcome back to Shirley Emch freshman girl who has just recovered from a six- week illness. K I I Bob DuMounte sure looks sharp in that yellow jacket, and he hates to get rain on it. Lately, it's been raining pretty hard, but remember, Bob, things are tough allsoverk ' K What's the matter with the Woodward boys lately? They must be slipping. Doris Kempski and Leona Krell have left their hearts stray to two DeVilbiss. lads. , s 1 e Poor Mr. Weis! He missed hearing Frank Sinatra because he was out chasing the fire engine in El- more. The damage done was two shingles burned. We thank Janice Frautman and Delores Prucnal for this information. s u an A much talked about topic lately is Grace Ash- ford's recent party. , U I U Believe it or not, kids! Another Fenady is in Woodward. It's George Fenady, Andy's brother. I wonder if he has Andy's sense of humor, and his ingenius way of spelling yvordsl wrong. It looks like love is really sprouting between Betty Lou Schindler and Jim Rose. S l S That Chuck Carr is really doing all right. Now he's got Delphine Kalisz drgoling over him. is u s I sure feel sorry for Eleanor Schneider and Phyl- lis Wolfe's families. They are taking cooking and the biscuits they bake are like bricks. ' 8 ll 1 I Ah! If I were only a sophomore girl and had a chance with some of those men. For instance the athletic type--none other than Johnny Kornowag and then handsome Gale Trimdlek sigh! l I From now on the Tattler is strictly a paper with a pull. We are informed thatJimmy Wilusz's mother really thinks some of the jokesthat appear in the Tattler are solid. Mrs. Wilusz uses some of the jokes in the Police Gazzet and then mails the paper to Policemen who are in the service. We hope they like them. at . l In spring a young man's fancy turns to loveg and even though it is'nt quite spring, we noticed one case. That of Jack Cole, who is looking with drool- ing eyes at a certain Helen. Life And Loves Of 141 One day during seventh hour, I was in the ofiice by request waiting to converse with the dean, when a mouse in the corner attracted me. Harriet Long had knocked over a chair in an effort to ex- amine more closely the names engraved on the table. ' Jean Kloster, starting to sit up the chair, sud- denly spied something. She ran into Mr. Meell's office and borrowed his hammer and chisel, after promising to go fiftyvifty with him. Then whistl- ing happily she went to work separating the chair from her find -- chewing gum. Nellie Dorn started to drool and my attention shifted to the door where, as I suspected, Bob Harrison and his colleagues had just come in for a session with Mr. Meek. Poor Nellie! Her reactions are so violent that even her fleas left her-- I know Qscratch, scratchb A blonde head peeking out from behind the screen startled me. It was Betty Smith looking over the victims . She must have made a favor- able report to her co-workers because they decided to have a look for themselves. While walking back and forth, Lillian Giberson and Pat Kerwin collided. They were admiring the scenery instead of watch- ing where they were going. Of course you know what the attraction was fahemj. My elation didn't last long however, for I heard a voice shout You're next . Well, it was nice living. Exams are just like women, Which 'is exactly right, They ask such foolish questions, And keep you up all night. ---Swiped I l I Student Council Members of Central High have finished a handbook giving information on school activities for new students and freshman.---The Centric, Toledo, Chic.

Last week he met a girl and fell in love at first sight. He isn't going to marry her though because today he took a second look. Brother did have a nice girlfriend once but he didn't get along with her family. He told her father that he'd,die without her and all her father said was I'll pay the fu- neral expensesf' Yesterday when he went over to her house her mother grabbed him and asked him what his intentions were and then his girl- friend yelled down Ma thats not the one Well, he quit her when he heard she spent 55000 a year fan dresses,fnow he's going with her dressmaker. f I guess this is really' it, because he can't eat or drink.

Irv Mower served notice to opposing teams that he wouldibe a real threat around the backboard, as he dumped in two tip in shots. Had the Bears been on in the Macomber game they would have no doubt represented a Toledo team in the regional and state tournaments. BOWSHER AWARDS TROPHY TO MECHS Highlighting the finals of the North- western Ohio Class A tournament were the various presentations of tro- phies and medals to the outstanding teams and players. As in previous years the tourney finalists receive a large trophy present- ed by the superintendent of schools, E. L. Bowsher. Mr. Bowsher had the plea- sure this year to award Wally Ardner and his Macomber Mechanics the high- ly touted gift. Likewise, Bowsher presented the run- nerup trophy to Bill Orwig, whose Lib- bey Cowboys were defeated in the finals, 34-27. For winniiw the consolation game overi Scott, oodward's Bears were awarded the game basketball.

Venturing to say, it was one of thc biggest upsets seen in local. action during the past decade. CHRISTENSEN EFFECTIVE Towering Cal Christensen of the Craftsmen hit ten points that looked mighty good in consider- ing the defeat of thc North End- ers. The tall - center-'s amazing backboard work and tip in shots kept the spark afire among the Macomber crew. During the first half of the en- counter Woodward just couldn't click. 011 several occasions sure- shots attempted by llarrison and Duhart r-olled out of the rim and into the hands of Christensen who relayed the ball to a team mate for two points. . In the first quarter the Polar 7 'Bears were held scoreless, the first time in many years. MH-COIUj ber held a four point lead at, that point, but Christensen only ac- counted for two points in the second frame while XVoodwa,rd took the lead by racking np eight points. The intermission score then stood at 8-6, Woodward's favor. BRUINS COME BACK When the third period started, Ha11han1's,Bears continued their pace making lead as a, result of forward Bob Harrisonfs one handed shots. He personally con- tributed eight of the eleven points during that stage of the game. Christensen, Sutkus, and Navarro added several points apiece to keep the Mechanics in the run- ning. X p After holding a three-point margin 19-16 at the start of the final eight minutes, Coach VVally Ardner's Monroe Streeters hit four quick buckets to put them ahead 24-19. With three minutes remaining the Polar Bears tried desperately to hit from the field, but each shot was fired a fraction of an inch off, and each time Ma- comber took possession of the ball. Dan Sutkus really iced' the game when he connected on a sucker shot to 'put his team ahead by seven points. ' After THE- WOODWARD TATTLER Q5 WARNER RECEIVES Tough luck, team, in the tourna- ment.

OF THANKS First Hour Class Decides To Send Boxes Again To Boys Miss Dorothy Warner Dorothy Warner and her first hour class have received a letter of thanks from a Mrs. E. Jackson in Lancaster, England, for the Red Cross gift boxes which her two little boys received at Christmas. The boys re- ceived their boxes at a Christmas party given by American soldiers. In her letter, Mrs. Jackson also stated that one of the little boys had just recovered from a two-year ill- ness, and that her husband had been killed in Burma two- years ago. It was decided by Miss Warner's group to send two more boxes to these two boys, not through the Rec Cross, but through their own efforts. During the past week, the members of the class brought in items with which to fill the boxes. Included among these things were toys, books, candy, and other articles. Throughout the remainder of the year Miss Warner said, the class hopes to be able to send other boxes to these boys. When she answers Mrs. Jackson's letter, Miss Warner asserted that she will ask for photo- graphs of the boys.

They .rubmilled ilu' following repo:-nj Senora Jewel de Bonilla recently substituted on Town Hall for Allen Haden, South American Newspaper correspondent, who was detained in Mexico for the Pan American Con- ference. Senora Bonilla's talk pertained mostly to the Pan American Confer- ence and Argentina. Twenty Pan- American countries attended this con- ference and Argentina was conspicu- ous by its absence. Since Argentina had done nothingto help in the war effort, it was first decided not to ex- tend an invitation to this country. However, Argentina has, at the pres- ent time, a standing army of 2,000,000 men and could easily make it one of 4,000,000 These men have been trained in the German military style, and some of her neighbors such as Uruguay , Chile, and Brazil would be defenseless against such an army. considering this, an invita- tion was sent to the Argentine gov- ernment to join the United Nations and participate in the conference held in San Francisco. The primary condi- tion, under which they join us, is to declare war on the Axis. Argentina's complete problem has been ironed' out at the Mexico City Conference. At this recent Mexican parley, our government has tried to win the Latin American nations over to the Big Three's ideas without making them feel that they are being forced into accepting it. The Latin American countries have staged an important part in the war production of America. Such materials as tin and zinc, which are of great use to us in the war, are being bought from Latin America. Having lived and traveled in South America, Senora Bonilla, stated that the big mistake was in the misunder- standing between the American and Latin countries. President Hoover started the good neighbor policy, but was not very successful because he did not know the psycology or tem- perament of the people with whom he was dealing. These Latin American people did not have much faith in our policy and Hoover insulted them by sending cheap entertainment. President Roosevelt has done the most in furthering the good neighbor policy. This has been proven by the fact that all the South American countries have joined us in this war except Argentina. Also, these countries no longer look upon us as the imperilistic nation of the North. Plans were made in the Dumbarton Oaks Conference to have only one non-permanent member for all of E CALL ARMS W.

Woodward's Team Guests At Tournament ' Saturday A welcome surprise came at Wood- ward's annual basketball banquet last Tuesday in the cafeteria, when A. J. Ili-own gave tickets to the players and manager, .lohn Beno, for the state semi-finals and finals to be played here. Saturday, at Toledo University field house. . The affair, which was held in the school's rcfectory last Tuesday at 11:30, proved to he a big success with the team members as they stowed away a huge meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, green peas and vegetables, dressing, pie ala mode, and milk. While other diners just managed to put away one serving, Bob Harrison and Calvin Duhart nnished their sec- ond plate with great gusto, saying their first meal was a swell appetizer. A. J. Brown served as toastmaster and introduced members of the fac- ulty who were: C. C. LaRue, Clyde VanTassel, Homer Hanham, Clyde Meek, Leo Robie, and Wilson Weis. Lieutenant Elmer Vorderburg, foot- ball coach of three seasons ago, who just happened to be there at the time when a good feed is one, also spoke. Coach Hanham stressed the idea that any team that can come through the city league undefeated is really a championship team as he stated the Toledo league is as tough if not the toughest leage in the state. Following the banquet, the team and student guests, Jim Nelson, sports editor of the Tattler, and Syl Essick, captain of the cheerleaders, received tickets to the Rivoli Theater and the rest of the day off to attend the show.

Woodward Freshman Boys, Girls Visit Vocational High Schools Tuesday, March 20, the freshman girls toured Whitney Vocation. Upon arrival they were ushered to room 305 and Miss Lola Boyer took attendance and introduced Miss Ethel Wooden, principal of Whitney, who explained the day's schedule. ' Junior girls chosen from each shop described the course of study. At ten o'clock, sophomore girls were intro- duced as guides, and took groups of six girls through the individual classes. The freshmen enjoyed a half hour of dancing in the girls' gym, be- fore going to lunch. Immediately after lunch, they were taken to the library and Mrs. Flor- ence Wells and Miss Wooden handed out cards to the girls who were still interested. Next, the teacher of their chosen course, interviewed the girls separately. Girls were given the op- portunity to be interviewed by the teacher of their second choice and were excused to go home. The information for this report was submitted by Marilyn Gribbin who attended this visit. Woodward freshman boys who are planning on attending Macomber next year were given an opportunity to tour the school last Tuesday when O. M. Thompson and Joy Mohrhardt accompanied their classes to the boys' vocational school. After the attendance had been tak- en the boys were addressed by Fred M. Dananfleser, principal. Since many boys were present ,the group was di- vided with half taking eligibility tests and the remainder visiting the various shops. Upon completion of the test, these boys were shown the building and the second group began their examinations. A film on a jungle expedition was shown to the freshmen after the tours and tests. 'Macombei-, like Woodward, has two lunch periods of forty minutes each. The boys left the school at 2:40 P.M. after they had received an opportu- nity to ask questions concerning the classes. Ervin Mirer and James King, who attended the visit, submitted the in- formation for this report.

HERE is much to be said about the disorderly conduct of the students during the radio forum last week, but much more to be done about it. Unfortunately, this does not happen only at radio broadcasts, but at mass meetings, lectures, or any assembly held in the auditorium. The students co- operated during the program when we were on the air, but the minute the signal was given that we were off the air it seemed as if it were a signal to begin talking. This is a very bad report for our guests from Burnham High to take back with them. It's to late to do anything to change their minds about us now, but it isn't too late to show to other guests to come what we can do. It's up to the students now. Let's all co-oper- and be quiet ,audiences in auditorium. Proper Spirit Shown In Lenten Services PPRECIATION of the fine Lenten services has been expressed by the attendance and atten- tion of the audience. At this time, this year, we should certainly have our serious moments. When a group of Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and all different creeds and colors can gather in a body to worshipg then, we know that there is a chance for world peace, and that racial prejudice can be forgotten. - You have shown the proper spirit in school serv- ices, now remember that Good Friday is a free day on which to worship in your church with reverence toward Our Farber Who Art in Heaven. ,,.,.L.i...-.-..- complaints Turned In On Canteeners OMMUNITY support of Toledo's Swing Inn is the most important factor in it s mainten- ' anoe and popularity. This point was brought out strongly in the speech which Miss Isable An- derson' director of the Inn, made to the students of Woodward Monday. In order to continue enjoying the facilities of the canteen, stude its must prove themselves worthy of the place and stop unnecessarily annoying the urrounding business places near the youth center. Qlarious complaints have been turned in to the police ,that broken glass was found in the alley, windows broken,and unnecessary noise created by the stu- dents. ' It is important for us to conduct ourselves pro- perly 'so that the canteen will continue to function and serve the students as a place to have fun. .i Radio Class Displays Outstanding Talent OODWARD'S radio production class has again displayed its orginality and ability by presenting Maggie McIntosh in such an outstanding manner that it has been chosen to rspresent Toledo in a state-wide contest in Colum- us. , Last year Toledo was, also, represented by a script written by a Woodwardite. This shows that much credit is due to Miss Helen Marie Grifiin, .who certainly has proved her unlimited ability in producing winning radio scripts. ' Certainly, the hard work put into the script by both author and characters is to be congratulated. others separated from their parents, who may or may not still be alive, are in the van or the wake of our armies. Through all this, saidthe commentator, the chil- dren keep up their spirits. They play games even among the rubble and the ruins of battle. They will quickly forget once they can live normal lives again. Their schooling is of course interrupted and strange as it may seem to some of our American youngsters they welcome with the greate t pleasure the re-opening of their schools. Adversity and the threatened loss ofan education have made them all the more eager to learn. How diiferent it is in this country where 'our schools do not have to close and even in war time the opportunties .for learning are always present. Many of our students do appreciate this, but too many, of their own volition, are turning down their chances to build Bner futures for themselves by leaving school forashort time temporary jobs. After the war is over they will discover, when it is too late, that they have sold their successful fu- ture for a few dollars and a few present pleasures. i WOLFE WHISPERS Swing Inn is the place where many a romance starts. At least it looks like a romance between Pat Dressle and Jack Munger. I S ' l It seems like Chuck Lentz, Ernie Klipfel and Marvin Hascal are in their second childhood.

Following the bowling season, this practice will bs stopped unless an act of the city faculty is chan- ed. The problem remains, bowling is as much a contesting sport football or basketball from which profits are derived. By a vote of 4-3 the athletic directors exempted the squads of ten-pinners from letter receiving ranks. Woodward's representative, A. J. Brown, voted for the giving of the mono- grams as has been the custom in past years. How- ever since Woodward is a member of the city ath- letic league it will have to comply in the future with any action taken by this group. Although medals have been awarded to win- ners of both leagues, this year both Woodward teams, we should like to see the athletic directors reconsider their previous decision. We feel that city league bowlers in all city high schools should receive service letters. Respect Our School Property CHOOL property is purchased through the pay- ment of public taxes. This means that our parents are paying for the upkeeo of this building. If you were at home, you wouldn't think of throwing a pear in an electric light anymore than you would think of slapping your mother. As C. C. LaRue often states. Woodward is your home. You spend a great deal of time here. If the building is depreciated to wrack and ruin, you still will be compelled to come here. So, please, kids, do not write on the lockers, and above all, don't destroy posters ,or any other ad- vertisement or school property. Time and energy can either be spent or-wasted. This depends on YOU. Prom Almost Here: Time's Awasting OYS, don't wait. ask her now. Yes, time is fleet- ing and soon the Senior Prom will be here. This activity means a lot to both senior boys and girls, for it climaxes their career in high school. Important not only to the seniors, plans for this affair catch the attention of all classes. The preparations for the dance are pretty well heavily involved with time especially for the girls. The gown takes time to find and fix: so, boys, ask them now. Time's awasting! LaRue Starts Annual Tour OODWARD'S finest, most capable represen- tative will visit and speak to the pupils of surrounding grade schools beginning April 9. Chas. C. LaRue is making this annual visit in order to acquaint the students with what to expect in Woodward. He will discuss the various subjects, clubs, and extra-curricular activities in which they may participate. ' These future Woodwardites will hear about us at our best. Their attitude toward the school is important, and must be good in order to have citizenship here in the future. They will be anx- ious to begin school this coming fall, and Mr. La- Rue will attempt to make them feel like freshmen. Special Delivery-1945 A.D.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER x MIDDLETOWN UPS.ETg BELLEVUE WINS TITLE Canton McKinley, Massilon Fall In Semi-Finals Captains Star Bellevue's Redmen well deserve the title as Newly crowned kings of 1945 as they upset last year's state cage champs, Middletown, 36-34 in a pressure laden game that gave them their first state championship in school history. Greatest Records Both teams possessed the greatest records held among Ohio high schools for many years. Middletown had en- tered the finals with 43 straight wins, but the pressure was to much and thus the Redmen copped their 25th straight, along with the cage crown. Gene Dudley and Bob Green, Belle- vue co-captains, were too much for the Johnny Shot artists, as they com- bined their great playing ability to surprise the Middie defense. Despite the fact of a one-point de- ficit in the first quarter, Bellevue commanded the lead in the last three periods, 21-18, 29-26, and finally 36- 34. Dudley meshed a long shot from the side court to clinch the game, with only 30 seconds remaining. Afternoon Contests In the afternoon contests Middle- town had to depend on substitute Omar Blevin's payoff shot to beat strong Canton McKinley quintet 29- 28. The 8,000 cheering spectators were more than pleased with the curtain raiser as Blevin's shot fell -through with the blast of the gun. When the second game between Bellevue and Massilon was two or three minutes old, it looked as if the Redmen would have no trouble at all. Dudley and Green exploded, giving them a ten-point lead. The final score read, Bellevue 47, Massilon 44. Excellent Shooting The excellent shooting of the two Massilon cagers, Gable and Cres- cenze, kept their team in the run- ning as they matched the Bellevue fChampsJ goal for goal. Highest scoring honors for the day went to Green, as he connected for 22 points against the Tigers. Highlighting the awarding of the team trophies, was the honoring of the tourney stars, who were awarded with an individual trophy. Following are the all tournament teams: Forwards : Will Smethers ...................... Middletown Gene Dudley ............................ Bellevue Charles Clickner ..............,. Middletown Steve Samartegedes ............................ V McKinley Centers: Paul Lanshaw .................... Middletown Fred Friend ..............................

Canton McKiniey Three Seniors Taken Into National Honor Society W.F. Rohr advisor of the National Honor Society of Woodward High School, reports the addition of three new senior members elected into the society. They are Doris Kempski, Mary- lin Arps, and Delores Wujciak Since these girls have attained a 3.5 average or more in grades they are eligible for membership. Names ,of the junior students who are elected into the Honor Society will be announced later. On Thursday, May 17, the Honor Society will hold its annual banquet at the Toledo Women's Building. 'c Fr 1, In I 'lf , , DOPE CORNER Track is the main topic of discus- sion in regard to sports. Coach Art Smith can be sure pushing his boys on after school every night. Holder of the position of captaincy of the track team is between Ted Gcrnhauser and Cal Duhart. Tom Osberger is captain of the golf team. A meeting was held this week for all thc boys interested in golf. ' Scott and DcVilbiss look as if thcy'lI have a pretty good track team this year. Libbey, too. Coach Raymer of Middletown suf- fered from tourney worries a day be- fore the semi-finals. His star and chief point getter, Charley Clickner, fell victim of an appendicitis attack, adding to the team's strained under- pressure. Besides keeping the students from getting ahead in the line, A. J. Brown peeks out the window to see if a blade of grass has sprouted on the field. Coach Wilson Weis' championship reserve team looked mighty good handing defeat to next year's junior varsity members 35-22 in a hectic rough and tumble affair in which Jack Kennedy collected 10 markers, and Chuck Allen hit for 8 points. Leo Scalia starred for the juniors along with Irv Mower.

NATIONALS TRIP AMERKS BY 22 PINS IN ROLL OFF FOR COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP -. -- -i- -- CALVIN DU HART Gajewski And Wisiakowski Calvin Coolidge is a very modest Pace Natsg Miller fellow when the subject of the con- versation is himself. Starting in his freshman year, this tall, dark fellow has been running for the track team. Shot-put, discus, and high jump are his specialty and last year Cal made second place shot-put at Bowling Green. Another laurel in his wreath is his career in basketball. Cal was moved right up to the varsity squad his sophomore year and has been the mainstay in getting the ball away from the opposition. Cal's height of 6 ft. 3 in. is his greatest asset. ln football, DuHart battles as left tackle. Paradoxically, for a man of his size, Calvin loves to sing and warbles ma- jestically down in the locker room for theenjoyment of everyone. He be- longs to the Boys' Chorus and is lice-president of the group. He sings ass. Although he expects to enter the army, Air' Corps preferably, his dream in life is to go on to college and further his athletic career. Women occupy a great part of Cal's life because he divides his time between Dora Russell of Scott and Kathryn Johnson of T. U. As for the track team, We have great prospects for a championship team, stated Cal. Miss Catherine McClure and Mrs. Jane Taylor played a very good game of badminton with Bob Harrison and Paul Seymour last Monday. Too bad the boys are so gotod. as Fl Softball and archery are two com- ing events on the girls' gym schedule. if PF BF Results of the co-ed tournament played last Thursday night are as follows: Alvina Wodarski, Don Higley won in table tennis: Dorothy Best, Paul Seymour, badminton: Jean Klos- ter, Bob DuMounte in badminton: Marian Karg, Donald Leopold, table tennis: Harriet Long, Jim Conley, badminton: Martha Malucknik and Jack Cole, shuffleboard: Sue Joy, Chuck Carr, shuffleboard: Betty Rog- ers, Bill Spath, badmintong and Bon- nie Whately, Dale Rodenhauser won in badminton.

Orders totaled 311.00 Thurs- day morning. Many students had intended to order seeds, but forgot to bring their money. Miss Cronk stated that if these people bring their orders to her, she willorder them as soon as possible. The total number of seeds purchased this year is about the same as last year.

Principal LaRue in his intro- duction stated that this is one of the most important subjects in the world. Miss Scott, who formerly was a sing- er, entertainedst army camps in France during World War I. After the war she decided to give up her career in order to help young people socially. During her speech she used numerous quotations from her war diary. Build friendships and you won't have to build warships was a point in her speech. We must not only develop education but character as lwell. Most of us, instead of using self-control, let others control us. The day will come ,when we Ameri- cans will be so strong and splendid, if we build up our moral character, that wecan reach out and help the whole world to prevent another terri- ble world war, was the closing com- ment of this prominent speaker, who has toured 30 nations.

April and May are the months set. aside for schools to take part in this drive. N This program will be given in the form of a pep meeting to urge stu-- dents to do their utmost to make this War Loan Drive a success. Although these meetings were scheduled for Friday, a postponement was necessary in order that Edgar Sort-on and the band could play. Mr. Sorton and members of the band were on tour of the grade schools this week, Students To Speak Miss Dorothy Warner and James Jollock will represent the faculty at the first assembly. M1ss Marjorie Hamilton and Principal LaRue will speak at the second meeting. A. Bitter, student council advisor, w1ll entertain at both assemblies with a novelty talk. n Andy Fenady, Philip Mansour an-d Robert DuMonte will present la skit which they have written. Acting as master of ceremonies will be Philip Mansour. Instructions For V-E Day Received From Bowsher lu a circular recently received by C. C. LaRue from E. L. Bowsher, various instructions for behavior on V -E Day were enumerated. These in- structions were sent out by the mayor, Lloyd E. Roulet, who requests that because of the change in the war situation since last fall, and the changed thinking all over the coun- try with respect to the kind of ob- servance appropriate for V-E Day, the committee in charge decided that schools, both public and parochial, re- main open on V-E Day. If the announcement should be made during school hours, pupils will remain in their classes until seventh hour when a special program will be held in the boys' gym, with speeches by C. C. LaRue and members of the faculty. The band will also play numbers appropriate to the occasion. Practice Sets Distributed Wilson Weiss's and Joseph Dence's first year bookkeeping classes will start on the Spencer Retail Hardware Prac- tice Sets Monday April 9. These sets which include all the bus- iness papers necessary to complete the problem will cover all the material the students have studied so far this year. Woodward To Participate In Discussion With DeVi1biss Do newspaper 'comic strips', comic and adventure picture books serve a socially useful purpose is the topic to he discussed at the Junior Town Hall Meeting of the Air on Tuesday, April 10. The broadcast will be made over WTOL from DeVilbiss High School beginning at 1:30 p.m. through 2:00 p.m. DeVilbise and Woodward students will be the participants. Two essays will be accepted from those submitted in each of the two schools. Both of Mrs. Dorothy Mathe- ny's speech classes were required to submit speeches on the chosen topic. Frances Surgeson, Grace Ashford, and Cloyce Hedges are the negatives of this group. Mildred Ludlum, Andy Fenady, Lina DeHay, Edward Voss, and Audry Findlay are the submitters from Miss Helen Marie Griii'in's radio production class. I-larry Lamb, who has charge of Town Hall, will select the two essays he thinks are the best, to represent Woodward.These pupils will read their papers before the question period. Additional students from the two schools will be requested to be on the Panel of experts. Mrs. Matheny will accompany the group. STUDENT COUNCIL T0 START SEVENTH WAR LOAN DRIVE Presenting returned veterans of this present conflict as guest speakers, Woodward Student Council in a double assembly next Friday inaugurates this schoo1's participation in the Seventh War Loan Drive. In the schools, April is the Get Ready Month. Woodward's goal, which will be set by student council members and princi- pal C'C. LaR,ue, will be announced at the assembly. . In 1944 three war bond drives were held. In 1945 only two will be held, but it is expected that the net total of these two drives will surpass the amount de- rived from last year's campaigns. The national quota is S14,000,000,000. Of this amount, Ohio must supply S403,000,000. To date, the largest amount Ohioans have contributed in any drive is 3354, 000,000. Dr. Siebens Speaks To Juniors and Seniors Dr. Arthur Siebens, city welfare di- rector used How Shall Wars be Stopped as his topic during the B schedule yesterday before Juniors and Seniors. The speaker stated that the 45 years of the present century have been term- ed the bloodiest century . Some people think that it is only hu- man nature to have wars, other believe that it purifies the race, and still oth- ers think that war is inevitable. Dr. Siebens does not agree, but feels that civilians cannot stand future wars, be- cause war destroys lives and ideal, and depletes youth. Proof of this is that lor 8 square miles of Iwo Jima 5,000 men were killed. Discussing the four major processes of the Dumbarton Oaks proposal, the welfare director stated that the sup- port of masses would be necessary to put this across. Pamphlets, pertaining to the proposals for the establishment of a general international organization as submitted by the Dumbarton Oaks Conference, were passed out at the . close of the lecture. CLEVELAND GRANT T0 LECTURE HERE lt is the ,Hncxl set of pictures that I have ever seen and is really fU0l'tll1UhiI0,,' is Ihe opinion of Principal Charles C.

Price of admission is ffteen cents. Woodward Places Second In Cruiser Contribution W ith a. total of 379.115, Woodward held second place in the school con- tributions toward the building of the cruiser Toledo, Scott High School led in first place. Total contributions in the city reached 551600. With this amount, a Mechanical Cow is being bought for the ship. This device is a kind of refrigerator for keeping food and drink fresh. In other years, when a cruiser was being named after a city, it was the custom for the people of the city to purchase a set of pure silver for the ship. It is doubtful, however, that this is being planned now. When the s ip is completed, it will be christened by a Toledo woman who has several sons in the service. Senior Prom Tickets Distributed April 3 Tickets for Woodward's 1945 Senior Prom to be held at the Woma.n's Building this year, arrived last Fri- day, March 30. Their distribution was begun by the prom committee members on the following Tuesday, April 3. Distribution of the tickets is han- dled by Mary' Hider and Clem Nowak, the dance co-chairmen, and Joan Gnyszek, Arlene Saetre, Loren Eck- art, Bob DuMounte, Louina Roberts, Anne Kornowa, James Seed, and Sue Cheney, members of the committee. Time for the gala affair is set for Saturday, April 21, from 9 to 12 P.M. Music will be played by Freddy Wood and orchestra obtained through Paul Spor's Agency. Price of admission is set at 52.50 per couple. Due to the male shortage only senior girls will be admitted stag. Prom dancing classes will be held during the assemblies on April 12, 17, and 19, R. C. Makes Stuffed Animals The Red Cross will soon start work- ing on wooden and stuffed animals which will be sent to the State School for the blind in Columbus. They also will make decorations based on The Night Before Christmas which will be sent overseas. Posters Must Be In May 1 All poppy posters have to be finished by May 1. Jerry Pohryewka, Robert Rybarczyk, Richard Steger, and John Francis have completed their original poppy sketches and will begin work on the poster. Beatrice Sinkowski, Dance Chairman, Confident Of Success Figuring as the first big dance since the close of the Lenten season, the Moonlight Promenade sponsored by the Polish. Literary Society will take place tonight in the Woodward ballroom. Each year the Lits sponsor a dance the proceeds of which are used for a scholarship for some deserving senior. This scholarship is for the University of Toledo, and has been given each year for the past ten years. Heading the dance is chairman Beatrice Sinkowski who is confident that it will prove a success. Aiding her are the following people: Marion Sliwmski, orchestrag Martha Maluch- mk, decorationsg Doris Mae Poole and Alice Rospond, ticketsg Winifred Komisarek, checking. Music for the evenin will be furnished by Eddie Churgh and his orchestra. Leo Robie is the advisor of the Polish Lits and Ruth Wisniewski is president of the organization. Respect Lacking For School Propertyg This Must Stop! A beautifully decorated sign for the Polish Lit dance was placed in room 210 Wednesday, second hour, by Leo Robie During fourth hour lunch he returned only to Gnd this torn from the wall and into two pieces. It can't be used again. Pupils spent time and work on this sign making it as attractive as possible to advertise their dance. A brutally smashed locker was the evidence someone left on the Grst door. The handle was bent into anunusable state. The door was smashed as' if with a heavy tool. A new door will have to be purchased if ever this locker is to be used. There was no purpose in such actions, since the locker had noth- ing inside end hadn't been used during the year. It is evident that there are a few people in Woodward who do not belong here. Need we say more? Volunteer Workers Asked To Assist In Clothing Drive All-lplication cards for volunteer wor ers to help in the clothing col- lection at the Civic Auditorium on Sunday, April 8, were circulated in all first hour classes on Tuesday. All serviceable summer or winter cloth- ing, blankets, and bed clothes .are needed for people in war-torn coun- tries. . In Toledo cartons and bundles placed on the front porches will be picked up by trucks on Sunday, April 8. n Lucas County all contributions are to be taken to the nearest school ready for pick-up on Monday and, Tuesday, April 9, and 10.

Hush Muntsomery 'fGet Ready Drive Prepared 1 HY, the war is practically over in Europe, and - after that the war status in the East will . weaken! This idea has run through the minds of millions of Americansg people have been trying to get it over in a hurry. Their first step after this, whether it is unconsciously done or not, is e tendency to decrease, or stop altogether, the purchase of war bonds and stamps. This is the most fatal thing that could happen. When the seventh war loan drive gets underway sometime in June, students will not be in school, therefore the Student Council is preparing a get ready drive to be held during April and May. To prove successful this drive will need the full coop- eration of every student at Woodward. Remember, until the final word of victory has been announced, it is your patriotic duty to buy, and continue to buy, WAR BONDS enb STAMPS! Truancy Is ' Inexcusable HIS is not meant to be a reprimand, but a warn' ing. Truancy is inexcusable, from the taxpay- ' er's point of view, from the faculty's point of view, and it should be inexcusable in the eyes of the students. J. Edgar Hoover lists truancy as a contributing factor to juvenile delinquency and adult crime. Mr. LaRue refers to uhookey playing as an anti- social habit Ca law unto itselfv. The main objection against staying out of school for illegal reasons is that a person may come in contact with bad company, usually an older pnrson who cares noth- ing about school or honest dealings. Protect your own interests. Help.win the war by remaining at your job --- and your job is getting an education. , Attendance Low At Club Meetings RE YOU as proud of your attendance at meet- ing as you are of your club sweater or pin? Can you truthfully say I have attended all meetings, unless illness or work kept me away? If you can, then you are one of the few. Being a member of a club is notjust paying dues, having a club picture, and wearing its distinction. It means full cooperation with oHicers and members, above all, it means steady attendance.You are not a true member unless you are present at the meetings and offer your criticism. Remember, Woodwardites, United we stand divided we fall. The clubs of Woodward can not stand when they are divided by irregular attend- ance. Come on, kids, attend the meetings and, show the true club sprit. Let's Stop A Dangling OW tliat' spring is here and we are given permission to open the windows, let's be good enough to realize there are a few things that can't be done. When a teacher leaves the room it's hardly fitting or proper to go hanging out the window. True, we may be descendants of our hairy friends buig it isn't necessary to demonstrate it. .This business of lookingout the windows is all right in its place, but theplsce isn't during geometry or English. e It looks bad for the entire school when a half- dozen or so students can be seen dangling their heads out. Let's stop this! e K A THE WOODWARD TA .

Reporter I OU might think of a reporter of a great news- paper L like the Tattler X to have a life of having doors slammed in his face, being thrown out of of'Hces Q bodily D and being a victim of public criticism. Well to be truthful -you're darn right. Ye-4, the poor cub must learn by nature's hard lesson - - experienqe. . The first chapter in the reporter's career is on a clear September day when Mrs. Ersig has gather- ed her new classes. Day by day they continue even late in the nightt they continue with hopes of obtaining a position on the Tnttler. To prove their ability the future Ernie Pyles struggle until they can tell a true news story when it occurs. An ex- ample of their progress is shown in the case when Mrs. Ersig has asked her group to write only news thnt is of public interest. After explaining thai news is not important if a dog bites a man but it is news when man bites a dog. So the fol- lowing day the following headline appeared on the top a hopeful student: DOG BECOMES WET AS FIRE HYDRANT BREAK. Yes, this is what the reporter is like until he learns the tricks of the- business and after that he's so old that he himself is news. So remem- ber the next time you become depressed, tired, and irrietable, just think of the person that wrote this article. Names Isn't it funny how people like to go by initials. For instance: there's A. J. Brown, S B. Crouse, and B.O. Klepfish. You all know how Mary Hider got her last name don't you? Her parents' Lwhose name is really Klostonovitskij were so disappointed that the first time they had company her mother scream- ed Hide Her ! Myrtle Brooks received her maiden name 'cause she's all wet anyway. Let's try to ex- plain Pat J anowiecki's last moniker. Well, we made an attempt anyway. My father has e lot of names, and when he gets mad, he yells 'em all at me! Ani- mals, vegetables, and minerals are all referred to by names. Such as: animal---Lois Posnerg vegetable-- carrot topSchifflerg mineral f-Salt Walter Irv Part, Screwy Spring Time In the spring a young man's fancy slightly turns tothoughts of ................ playing hockey.

A . . ,xiii I Q ,POLAR BEAR CINDER PATH LADS ' V FACE TOUGH LEAGUE OPPOSITION Bruin Thin-Clads Practice For Coming Match With Scott Working with amazing adaptability for the amount of material turning out, Mentor Smith, Bear track pilot, is fast whipping his squad of 35 try- outs into shape. With only two prac- ticing days remaining before the in- itial meet with Scott the Bears are out for a point for point victory over the Bulldogs. Expecting to win if possible in the field events where this year's team's power-laden potentiality lies the Polarites are sharpening themselves to razor edge precision. Excelling in the weight-tossing di- vision are Calvin Duhart, who an- nexed last year's mythical city shot put crown, and Bill Harris, who has out-thrown all expectations in the discus throw. Bill hurled the three pound disc for a distance of approxi- mately 140 feet in recent practice. Considering him a first year man he can very well be deemed a coming star. Libbey To Be Strong The team to watch this year will be Libbey with a strong team returning and the entire 46 football squad out for conditioning and possibly field honors. DeVilbiss, defending champions for the past five years is primed for no little trouble this season having al- ready defeated Delta's class B group of harriers in their first dual meet by an overwhelming score.

He can be seen with Tom Osberger on the fair- way of Ottawa Park every Sunday afternoon in warm weather. Being an ardent golfer, he is number two man on the golf team this year with his buddy Tom Osberger serving as cap- tain. During the winter months, Stinky, as Ralph is often called by his inti- mates, spends his time hunting! phea- sants and rabbits J. Besides these sports, Stinky amuses himself with dancing, shooting pool, and driving his newly acquired 1941 Plymouth. This car is' the pride and joy of his life. For the past year and three months, Ralph has been employed at the Elec- tric Auto-Lite as a shipping clerk and works from 3 to 11 everyday after school. Tipping the scales at 177 pounds and towering six feet from head to toe, Ralph presents quite a striking picture. He has aspirations of joining the navy although he thinks the army will be the lucky one. Ralph is a little pessimistic concern- ing the golf team. He stated that the prospects look fairly good but that some of the opposition is a- little stronger. A meeting of the Leaders' Club was called this week to discuss the possibil- ties of a banquet. Miss Catherine Mc- Clure and Mrs. Jane Taylor are the ad- visors to this group. FF 'F IF Oolleen Gribbin has just finished reading Robin Hood and is ready to join playing archery. Look out Rose- mary Biggs BEAR GOLFERS START LEAGUE PLAY APRIL 7 Coach Howard Phipps' 45 golf sextet swings into action April 17, at Ottawa Park with six clubbers repre- senting Woodward's title bid. Tom Osberger was unanimously appointed captain by the squad of green and tee men. Macornber's crew seems to he the team to beat this year as they clinched the crown last year and have all but one veteran returning. Quite a host of hopefuls turned out for the team from which six will be selected.

Depaul's Blue Demons, who won the Invitational Tournament, were led by their 6 foot 9 inch star center, George Mikan. He scored 123 points in three games, his high ,of 53 points coming against Rhode Island State. He was also voted the tournaments most valu- able player. ii if ll At last Monday'e Downtown Coaches' meeting, pictures of the DePaul- Bowling Green games were shown. Coach Harold Anderson nf Bowling Green and two former Woodward cage luminaries, John Payak and Jim Knierim, were guests. Don Otten, their 6 foot 115 inch center and scoring star was also present. DOPE CORNER S By Syl Essick -I Boys' gym classes are now carrying their inter-squad battles into Wilson Park's numerous soft-ball diamonds. In the fifth hour class, squad two is classed as the team to beat. 44 Pk 3F . Byron Nelson set a new record this winter season as he won seven major golf meets. The Toledo pro is classi- fied with the great Bobby Jones, golf- dom's greatest. The desk wonders what the outcome would have been if these two had met while both in their prime. ak K lk Home Packing's amazing cage squad closed its season with a record of 15 wins and seven losses. The- team, paced by Clifford Siglow, al- most .captured the Douglas Center Class A title but dropped a close final game. , ll! Pk 'll . Libbey's track team rules 'as the dark-horse this season. The Cowboys, led by colorful Reggie McGee, boast a strong squad. Woodward's Polar Bears also figure as dangerous compe- tition with such stars as Calvin Du- hart, Gene Gust, Ted Gernhauser, and Abie Haynes. New in .league com- petition this year will be Central's Irish who are entering the track league in full foals fork the first time. Waite, Scott, Macomber, and Cen- tral are thus far the only schools who will put baseball teams out onto the diamonds again since 1942. The four- team league should prove pretty close with Central showing plenty of power and infield strength featuring Jupe Juhasz. I at it X DeVilbiss has dominated the city's high school track league for five years now but with such stars as Lewis,- Pfieffer, and Dave Brown gone, it is hard to see how the Tigers can again repeat unless they come up strong in the field events however, and keep the Upton Avenue schgool 'gn there. W o Twelve tryouts are out for this years golfing squad. The boys are going to play it out among them- selves to see who will comprise the six man team.

The story which takes place during the Revolutionary War explains some of the reasons why a few of the early American Colonists remained loyal to the king.

The plot also relates the exciting adventures of 15-year-old Steven Waring, the son of a lieuten- ant in General Washington's army. After many daring exploits he proves himself a hero in the end.

Later, when the holder of the petition comes up to him and says You owe me some money, the defendant just can't remember borrowing money from the approacher. I No, you don't have to rack your brain to recall the time you borrowed money from this person, because you actually never did. You made a prom- ise to pay a certain amount before a school activity. You didn't make a promise orally, but signed a piece of paper. Remember? On the very top of the paper you were supposed to have read. I the undersigned promise to buy, and sofort'h. Any signer is expected to live up to his promise. We are asking you to pay willing for your Senior Prom ticket if you signed a petition. Let's cooper- ate. i ,. .i--ii Save That Fel1ow's Life NOTHER war loan drive is on its way, and we, here at Woodward, are to prepare for it. We can make it the best that has ever been put on if we try. We ourselves. can't go out there on the battle field and fight those Germans and Japs directly, but we can iight ---- indirectly ---- and that is by buy- ing war bonds and stamps. - Think of a Soldier on the battle field facing a Jap but who knows that he is out of bullets. That stamp that we couldn't take time out to buy could have supplied the one bullet that was needed to save that fellow's life. Our bonds and stamps can save men's lives. The more we buy, the more boys will be coming home in the future. ,.,.l1.-.l-- Take Gare Of Gym Equipment ' EGLECT in the care of Woodward athletic equipment has been brought to our attention by the girls' gym instructors, Mrs. Jane Taylor and Miss Catherine McClure, who warn that since most of the equipment cannot be re- placed, students must cooperate if they wish to continue to play with good equipment. There are only a few good badminton rackets remainin because they have been used so care- lessly byihoughtless persons. Already this year the girls have used their entire supply of ping-pong balls, now borrow- ing from the boys' gym equipment. In normal times broken things could be re- placed at a reasonable cost, but right now. it's impossible because of the war time conditions. So1et's face the facts. With our dwindling supply of good play things, we must use increasing care to preserve theml -or do without. Keep Up ' Good work, Kids! OOD work, kids! Grades have increased during the past quarter. This may be due to the lack of gym grades, which brought averages clown at the end of the second quarter. Another reason for low grades may have been due to absence caused by work during the holiday season. Whatever it is, good grades have increased. New names appeared on the honor roll. If your name was one of them,keep up the good record. To be outstanding is something of which to be proud. Group To Decide T. A. C. Recipient URING the C schedule April 20, the faculty committee will meet to decide which student will receive the Tattler Acheivement Cup which is presented each year on recognition day.

The first phase of the spring classes through will center on timing in the 100 yard dash. . . n a a Life in the boys' gym has decreased to an extent that Instructors Art Smith and Homer Hanhan are escaping from its dismal atmosphere.

I did as much work as Suzie did, so what do I get-a 'D'!! Maybe it was the last four exercises that I didn't hand in, but after all I was only out ten days in the last' three weeks.

S PORTS H NORTH ENDERS HOPIN G T0 UPSET SCOTT IN OPENING MEET, BULLDOGS STRONG Bulldogs Play Host To Bears In Track Meet Coach Art Smith's t1'2l.CkSl161'S met a strong Scott Bulldog harrier squad Wednesday at the Collingwood Avenue Dust' Bowl. At this time the page goes to press without the results in -but the Red and White wingbearers were the ,pre-meet favorites having practically all of -the 44 team veterans back. Dick Gross, ace dashman ofthe Scotters, is doubtless the most outstanding lumi- nary returning. Bears Beaten in '44 Looking back at the past record of last yea1 s initial meet, the result proved a lopsided 97-21 affair in which the Polarites excelled only in the mile and weight events. Ligibel, Cochran, and Brooks were the outstanding Bulldogs in the weight division. The latter, Brooks, has thrown the 8-pound shot a distance of 53 feet in prac- tice. The remainder of the Scott team is found in Bill Black and Ruben Bracy, dashmeng and Marv Blankley, John Mould, Walt Hoover, relay men. Host of Bulldog Tryouts Tryouts have proved quite strong in a class B meeting, up- setting Delta's applecart 80-36. Here are the names: Dick Smith, Bill Franklin, John Koinis, Bob Townsend, Jack Daschner, Herb Wright, Dick Ligibel, Dick Jones, Bill Wakefield, Leon Jones, George Badgely, Dave Kirby, Dave Morgan, Ed Duncan, Bob Gould, Don Seaman, Jim Simmons, Cecil Martin, Jim and John Hinds, Sherry Webb, Bob Robinson, John Mound, and Gene Fackler. 1 Bear Squad Dimjnutive The Woodward team includes, Cal Duhart, Ted Gernhauser, Russ Hennig, Robert Kimple, Jack Hedges, Jim Morlock, Bill Stewart, Dick Merickel, Gene Gust, Arnold Crouch, Chuck Allen, Jack Kennedy, Ed Kiefer, Bill Harris, Don Leopold, Ed Velker, Dick Vollmar, Howard Haynes, and .J ack Bell.

REMARKABLE ABILITY The fantastic fact about Gene is his ability to run without 'regard' for opposition. Proof of this is the inci- dent that he has earned letters m track and reserve football during both his frosh and sophomore lyears. I . Gene occupies the starting position in the 440-yard relay team and 220- yard hurdle.

Golfers To Begin Regular Season At Ottawa Course lVO0dNV3.1'd'S edition of the 45 golfing team start league play next Tuesday, April 17, at the Ottawa Park course when! they meet the Tigers from DcVilb1sS. - As yet, the starting six haven't been announced by Coach Howard Phipps, but sure to tee nil' will be Captain Tom Osberger, Ralph Gajew- ski, and possibly Dau Bieniek and Don Leopold. Golfers Inexperienced The Bears lack experience and sev- eral meets may pass before the sextet iind themselves. Not much is known about the Upton Avenue boys but it is believed they possess much more experience than the North Enders. However, anything can happen and it wouldn't prove surprising to see the Bears walk off with a win. What- ever the outcome may be we wish the team LOTS OF LUCK. Pre-Season Golf Game Held At Heather Downs Heather Downs is the site for the pre' season golf clash with S yl v a ni a at Ottawa park, the scheduled meeting place for the golf league, does not open until April 14. This meet is considered an outside game and will therefore not be counted in the league standings. Six players included in this list will be probable starting lineeup of Wood- ward. Tom Osberger, Ralph Gajewski, Dick Kurdys, Norm Liasiakowski, and Dan Bieniek oompose the list with Torn Osberger as captain. Howard Phipps is the advisor of the teami It seems strange,but it's true! Bob Harrison, Paul Seymour, Abie Haynes have actually taken a job that requires work.

As-1 - l N . THE WOOD WARD TATTLER 'Senior Prom E ' Tomorrow Night OMORROW night an event will be held that will be cherished in the memory of all who participate in it. The senior prom is looked forward to with a great deal of anticipation by the seniors who know it will be their last gala dance in school. , Everyone should make an effort to attend in order that this dance will be one the seniors will want to remember. Senior girls should not hesitate -to go stag because it is understood by all that many boys are in the service and in general there is a shortage of men. ' ,Behavior at the prom- should be exemplary. Shouting and yelling is frowned upon at a dance of this nature, and all attending should remember that they carry the reputation of Woodward High School with them. Decorations are put up in an effort to create an atmosphere to follow through with the theme of the dance. There is no need of deliberately destroy- ing these secenic effects which are put therefor your own enjoyment. You can have a good time and still behave. .il -.-. SENIOR DYNAMITE When the other fellow gets destructive, it's toughness, when you do, it's forcefullness. When a pretty girl walks into the physics labora- tory, have you ever noticed the interesting chemical reaction she produces? The boys all turn to rubber. I I I The jovial character Don Leopold must know that it may not be possible to send animals by mail, but what about seals on letters. I I I Maybe Mr. LaRue got Cuba on his radio last night, but Jim Burnep got Greece on his pants. I I I Coach Art Smith can quote a commandent having ' four words .... Keep nii' the grass . - I I I ' Did it really happen? From unreliable sources it came to us that Mrs. Manton asked Dorothy Best what the disturbance was in the library one morn- ing. She replied, I dunnog probably history repeat- ing itself. l . . The way Tom Osberger is consistently borrowing money your columnist thinks that if steamships were selling at a penny apiece, he couldn't buy the whistle's echo. I I I Frank Nowak was humming softly. If he could carry a tune, l'm sure one of our braver students would ask him to carry it oiitside and bury it. I I I Oh! if only we were as witty as Cliff Siglow When told, I wouldn't marry you if you were the ,last man on earth, he swiveled back with, of course not, you'd be killed in the rush. I I I I Don't check your watches by Woodward clocks The times are looney. Oh, cursed spite! One place my watch is wrong, the other right. I I I I Extry! Extry! Billy Harris ate four ice cream cones the other day to celebrate the death of his first childhood. I I I I Some of the senior girls will say tomorrow night .that they could go on dancing like this forever, but welcome to heaven, they're bound to improve sometime. - I I I If you should ask Mrs. McManamon to give you her honest opinion of your term paper and she says -that it's utterly worthless, agree with her, 'but ask her to give it anyhow. g s a o Just think. You could have a good time thinking what a good time you'd have, if you were havinga good time. I I I .It surely makes me smile So wonderful a treat -To watch Cal Du Hart run a mile And only move two feet. I I I Ileave you,buried in thought. My, what a shallow graye.

Tonight is the big night. At last he was ready to leave. After taking a last look in the mirror he bid his mother good night and promised that he would bring in the morning paper or if he should get in earlier, the milk. At last he was there, but as he neared his destination, he quivered. Would everthing go all right? Would he be on time? With these thoughts in mind he straightened his shoulder pads, ran his lingers through his butch hair- cut and marched forward. The Woman's Building was just around the corner. He entered, removed his things, looked longingly at the Woodward couples, and yelled, Check Your Hats and Coats Here, Please! . Don Cornelius is approaching the realm of pop- ularity fourfold. It's actually exciting to watch this gallant lad twisting and turning to burst out with Whatcha Say? to all his buddies. ll' - PF I Quite the belle of Leo Robie's second hour class although no one would suspect, is little Dottie Dzienna. - I I I Chuck McNitt, Bert Johnson, and Jim Jacobs are frequent visitors of the Milk Bar downtown. Could the waitresses be the cause? I I I No switcheroo is being made in the minds of some of the steady romancers. Gene Winters' and lover, and Don Bialecki and sweetie, will be seen as ex- pected at tonight's extravaganza. Customer: This cafe must have a remarkably clean kitchen. Manager: Thank you, sir, it's nice of you to say so. But how did you know? Customer: Because everything tastes like soap Success Lies W I In Education , - DUCATION is a prerequisite to the success we desire in future life. Many instances can be found right in Woodward, of boys in serv- ice who have realized only alter leaving school the value of an education. In a letter to Principal LaRue recently the commanding officer of a coast artillery battalion inquired about the grades of a former Woodwardite who was then under his command. The boy had expressed his desire to further his education while he was still in the Army and upon receiving a discharge he also wished to continue his schooling. Since most of the courses offered to veterans require a high school diploma, this boy was interested .in knowing what courses were required from Woodward in order that he receive his diploma. Had this boy remained in school and studied, he would have no difiicultyin entering the various schools the armed forces have to offer. More than we ever can realize now the education we are receiving now is the basis oi our success in future life. J PLAYIIN' THE FIELD A motorist in England had a 50-gallon tank of gas in reserve when rationing was introduced consulted a friend as to what to do about it. Bury it, my dear fellow, was the reply, Accordingly, he gave his gardener instructions next day to dig a hole for it in a secluded spot. After a time the gardener returned.. l've buried the gas, he said. What do you want done with the tank? East Tech Scarab. I I I I Evesdropping: First senior--- Busy? Second senior--Nope, you busy?

A' I Words of Wisdom We should be content with what we have--- Not what we are- : u s n The Woodward Senior girls must be sli ppi n g lately. It seems that a cute senior, namely Ma.: Hofmeister, is lacking a senior prom date. Better hurry and hook him now. I ' I I V Dorothy Deline and Francis Surgeson won't be going to the prom this year because their boy- friends can not come home. Franny's is in the ser- vice and Dot's trouble is gas rationing.

HENRY BARTOKOWICZ OUTSTANDING BOY Y Big six-foot 1-inch, 180-pound Hank i,l3'artkowicz amiably related his like 'of sports, among other things, to this reporter. Art Smith and Homer Han- ham bestowed the title of outstanding 'senior in gym fproperly attired, plays well, etc.l upon this husky, well-liked fellow. Thus, an interview follows. Basketball, indoor, football, and most sports in general take up Hank's time. fGirls are too hard to get along with.J However, due to the innumer- able times indoor, was mentioned we have decided il.'s tops with Hank. l'hysics, math, and MACHINE SHOP make-up an interesting sched- ule. Richard Warchol and Albert Dc- Vries, constantly seen, with Henry, slave through the above mentioned ubjccts during the same hours that ank does. Although the army has a June, pri- vrity, Purdue College may be the roud claimant of this able fellow, in few years. fLess, we hope.J We have decided Hank has a very :leasing personality, clearly. seen in the fact that he has been chosen as one of the nine seniors eligible for .he Tattler fplugj Achievement Cup. '- After coaxing, wheedling, and reatening, Hank finally admitted hat Jock 'Ihomae is the object of his ifectxons. r With Howard Haynes bolstering- the offensive, Coach Art Smitlfs track squad opened its '45 season with a not too ac- ceptable defeat. Coach Joe Collins of Scott and company rolled up places, eight seconds and six thirds to an- nex an 82l,6, - 3524, score which reaked havoc with the Polar Bear thinclads.. HAYNES OUTSTANDING Abie Haynes led the Polarites' scor- ing drive, leaping five feet nine inches to win the high jump and flying a distance of 19 feet 5 inches to emerge top man in the broad jump event. Results were: Haynes first: Bill Black ten first Coach Art Smith Hart, John Mould and Dick Metz tie for second in the high jump with Bill Black finishing third. and John Koinis of Scott in the broad jump: Haynes, Cal Du- The 100 yard dash found Scott dominating with Dick Gross, Bill Black and Ruben Bracy finishing in that order. Gross ripped off first place in 10:01 leaving Woodward hopes far behind. Gernheuser Comes Through Ted Gernhauser came out on top in the mile event as he displayed a photo finish burst of speed on the fi 1 curve of the race to win in a 5:01 heat ahead of the two ace Bulldog xiii: men, Bill Walker and Ed Duncan. I Hoover,Collects 10 Points Scott's Walt Hoover, state hurdle luminary, raced in the 110 yard high hurdles in 16:2 to win that contest. His teammate Dick Smith finished second ahead of Woodward's hurdler, Bill Stewart. Scott dominated the 880 yard run, 880 yard relay, and mile relay to gather 15 of the winning points. Dick Gross, anchor man of the 880 event, was the fellow who clinched it, zooming into first place breaking the tape in full stride. Ed Velker had a hard time in the 440 yard run as he was forced into third place behind Sharry Webb and Bobby Sciplin, red and white wing- bearers. Gust and Bill Stewart placed in order behind Hoover of the Colling- wood Avenue team for second and third place, respectively. Gross Again ' Gross won the 220 yard dash followed by Johnny Mould, a squad mem- ber and Dick Merickel, Woodward runner. , Woodward showed a spark of hidden pow-er in the field events. Bill -Harris hurled the discus 110' 6 to beat Don Williams and Dick Ligibel of Uptown School squad. Herb Wright emerged victor in the pole vault after an elongated duel between himself, Ted and Dan Gernhauser and Dick Tillot of Woodward: Ted finished ahead of Tillot for second place.
