BOKAN APU' Q-DSTQRLQ RL gd GO ON A TREASURE HUNT--where a series of clues led you to strange and interesting places and finally guided L you to your goal, the treasure? Perhaps you say you haven't, but all of you as part of the student body of Woodward High School, are engaging in an educational treasure hunt now. Although there isn't the thrill of having one's spade strike a hard object several feet under the ground, and of unearthing a rustic chest filled with pieces of eight, there is the joy of hitting upon some interesting bit of information not previously known, and the satisfaction of possessing a goodly store of knowledge. The seniors now have their goal in sight, and the juniors are eagerly preparing to turn into the home stretch. Sophomores are well on their way, while the freshmen have en- countered their first clues and are now definite members of the hunt. We, the Saga staff, hope to make this, your yearbook, a material and lasting treasure, one which will remind you of every delightful phase of your life. Our sincerest wishes are for your success in reaching your goals, in life as well as in school. n jagcz Sta I 3 -as rafters Wvaf,?'.?2'l'1 ', George J aschke J . A TREASURE HUNT as the theme for the 1940 year- book, the Saga staff enthusiastically began the task of C making this publication a lasting and worthwhile Trea- sure for you, the students. Under the skillful and efficient leadership of George Jaschke, the editor-in-chief, new ideas and improvements of old ones have taken shape. Between these attractive covers, we have undertaken to guide you along our Treasure route, pointing out the places Of outstanding interest and value. A new idea in class pictures is being initiated--that of grouping students in alphabetical order. By arranging the senior pictures in a new way, we have provided more space for other things. We hope that, despite the fact that our working time has been shortened by eight weeks, we have succeeded in publishing a better and more attractive Saga. The editor's co-workers are Phyllis Hendrickson, associate editor, Horatio Jex, business manager, Marlyn Renz, circulation manager, Louise Bokan, art editor, Norman Silka, as- sistant art editor, Helen Scheidler, senior girls' picture editor, Roy Winn, senior boys, pic- ture editor, Charles Mc Farland, boys' sports editor, Anna Brona, girls sports editor, Virginia Terry, club editor, Roy Timmons, makeup editor, Jearold Tussing, assistant makeup editor, Betty Jane Roth, bookkeeper, and Helen Wendel, typist. We are grateful to our adviser, Raymond Sheline, for his experienced guidance, and to Edward Jankowski, assistant adviser, Miss Edith Murphy, and Hugh Montgomery for their capable and ever-willing aid.

Truthful, timely and intelligent, the paper pro- vides news, facts, constructive criticism, and entertainment for its readers. It is, veritably, the living symbol of a united school spirit. This year the Tattler's publication has been in the hands of Jean Douglas, able and energetic editor-in-chief. Well qualified as a leader in this work, Jean has steered her staff through a highly successful year ofjournalistic progress. Her originality and cheer- fulness and her ability to overcome obstacles have served as an inspiration for her co-workers. The Tattler's achievements are also largely due to the wise, conscientious work of its advisers, Mrs. Marie Ersig and Hugh Montgomery, whose patient efforts have made the work easier and more enjoyable. Members of the staff are Jean Douglas, editor, Sam Laderman and Richard Semler assistant editors, Arthur Bancroft, business manager, Mildred Hall and Rita Tertel, news editors, Phylis Hendrickson and June Knowles, feature editors, Dorothy Kincaid and Bob Knoke, sports editors, Agnes Leece, column editor, Roy Timmons, makeup editor, and Joe Stobinski and Casimer Orlowski, pressmen. The reporters are Dorothy Dyer, Betty Gajewski, Ellen Mae Gribben, Patty Hammontree, Laura Kohne, Virginia Lobet, Irene Kolinski, Mary Latus, Bob Martin, Alice Miller, William Rogers, Kathryn Seeman, Robert Weber, and Vernon Gribben. ,..,uw.

DRY WIT, KIND HEART---these characterize . a O. M. Thompson, to whom we dedicate the 1940 W 's' Saga-Tattler. As teacher of freshmen mechanical drawing, he is genuinely liked by all his students, who are inspired with a desire to learn by his thorough knowledge of his subject. Perhaps Woodward knows Mr. Thompson best as the ever dependable man with the camera. Photograpy has been his hobby for many years, and his skill in this field has proven very valuable to the school. However, no matter what his immediate interest is, from jig-saw puzzles to hunting, he follows it with all energy and zeal. Mr, Thompson has served Woodward faithfully for ten years, we wish for him many future years of happiness here. We hope that the dedication of this yearbook may be a fitting token of our appreciation of a good friend and teacher. C .

In real treasure hunts, the map or the clues serve in this capacity. Our faculty gives this helpful assistance along the route of our educational hunt. We are grateful to this faithful, efficient group for their aid in the develop- ment of a constructive, Wholesome, and fruitful school life, and for their con- stant endeavors to better the educational opportunities of the students. acu fy To the Students: Midst studies, sports, and social events, your high school life goes on. For seniors, this great experience is drawing to a close, but they are now on the threshold of new adventures in the world of men and women. On behalf of the faculty of Woodward High School, I extend my sincere wishes to the Class of 1940 for every success and happiness in lifeg and for the class of '41, ,42, and 213, I hope that future school years will bring continued satisfaction and pleasure in this phase of your youth. We want you to remem- ber the faculty members as friends ever striving to help you in every way and pulling for youv as you emerge from our portals as graduates.

You have topped your four years in high school with the strangest one t in all your school history. Enforced vacation time and a shortened school term have caused your senior year to be one of anxiety rather than joy. If the old adage, 'Night Brings Cut the Starsf is true, then your firmarnent should be filled with light. We hope that the trials and adventures through which you have passed will serve only as a refining influence and that the best of everything that life holds may be yours. Many thanks to Charles C. LaRue, our principal and friend, for this message to the seniors. By his wisdom and understanding, Mr. LaRue has been a valuable help on The Treasure Hunt by aiding each to advance toward his goal.

During the past year, the class, under the able leadership of Vernon Gribben, president, and his cabinet, has taken a position of honor and prestige in the school. Their aim for a bigger and better J-Hop was carried out, and the aquiring of that priceless possession, the school ring, in- spired them with new importance. They are, like the seniors, indebted to their trustworthy, competent deans Miss Amie Miller and Mr. Raymond Sheline for their everyready assistance and guidance. Our well organized sophomore class, led by Leonard Burns, is at the halfway point along the path of dis- covery outlined by our Treasure Hunt. Their first year as an organized body has proven the sophomores worthy of honorable recognition. Their delightful Sophrolic was an event to be remembered, and this dance enabled them to complete a scholarship fund started by the two preceding classes. The class deans, Miss Grace Cronk and Mr. Clyde Meek, deserve appreciative Commendation for their helpful guidance.

If we followed clues, as in the real game, one clue would surely advise us to become club members as a definite step in our progress. Whether your interests center in literature and lauguages, in fine arts, in professional skills, in building or collecting, or in some other field, some club will surely satisfy your need.

WERE CONSTANTLY FIGHTING over treasure and despite I many hazards which they encountered they continually sought e new ones. So the spirited Woodward athletes struggle through game after game, winning and losing, and even in defeat they displayed exceptional sports- manship. Athletics are especially commendable in the fact that they show individuality, they teach morality, and also teach one to come back fighting after suffering a defeat. Cooperation and team work are also afiiliated with athletics, which are most essential not only in athletics, but in every day life. Woodward has turned out some very fine athletes in the past, and it is inevitable that this will be true in the future. Without athletics our school curriculum would most certainly be incomplete. r ugfhleiic ,goafzcf and Coaches H. Hanham Basketball L. Robie Baseball P. Lankenau Baseball J- Taylor D.

Brown Faculty Manager To Woodward Athletes of 1939-40: As we come to the close of another school year we feel that in spite of the scores of various games that Woodward has a better future in athletics than we had ever had previous to this time. Our athletes have distinguished themselves in many ways. The splendid record of our basketball, bowling, and cross country teams have made history for Woodward High School. It is hoped that we will finish the year by adding other fine records in our spring sports. To the seniors who leave Woodward this year we want to wish you the best of success in the years to come.

The football season of 1939 ended with no victories for the Woodward Polar Bears and only one tie game. However, the season was considered a success by the coaching staff because al- though lacking in experience and greatly outweighed by every opponent the Bears refused to give up and fought until the final gun in every game. Some outstanding players were developed and Woodward will miss the services of Haddad, McFarland and Widlund who improved as the season went along. lt is hoped that with the experience gained by some of the boys who will return, that Woodward will be able to break into the win column next fall.

Entering into the Tournament with all the enthusiasm that they could possibly have they were barely edged out in an overtime game which can truly be called a heart breaker. Woodward will certainly miss the services of Bill Copeland, the little stellar forward who has been playing Varsity ball for the past three seasons. We want to wish him and the other graduates all the success and happiness in their future years. ' ,-5 ,..g',. . W.

ZH 155 14 20 Woodward girls have always been interested in sports and this year has been no exception. This year the girls had a much larger variety to choose from, such as major sports, consisting of volley ball and basketball, recreational sports, consisting of ping-pong, deck tennis, badminton, shuffle board, and paddle tennis, the third being dancing. They could also have swimming or bowling, these were taught outside of school ln inter-murals because so many girls joined, two leagues were formed, the American and National. This is the first year so many girls worked for rewards and received them. The games were all played after school, and the two highest rating teams were the All Stars who were un- defeated, and the Polar Bears who lost one game during the season.

Hall Guards To Be Selected During Next Two Weeks Hall guards will be selected during the next two weeks by John Vinson and Betty Jane Roth, co-commission- ers of the hall patrol, assisted by Richard Semler. The above mentioned members will ask for volunteers from the study halls. The selection will be checked in regard to conduct and scholar- ship. Members of the Student Coun- cil will patrol in the meantime. Mrs. Katherine Schuler and Joe B. Dence are advisers of this organiza- tion. Band, Ork, And Glee Club's Regular Schedule Revised Because of the change in the music schedule the Woodward band mem- bers, with an increase of six over last year's 34, will attend class fifth hour instead of first. Under the guidance of Guy Sut- phen, the band will begin drilling for the season's football games immedi- ately. The 117 pupils of the glee club will assemble with Clarence Ball in the auditorium third hour instead of fourth. Directed by Miss Bessie Werum, the 22 students enrolled in the or- chestra will meet seventh hour rather than eighth. Fifteen Join Oral Expression Class, 26 Select Journalism Fifteen students have enrolled in Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's second hour oral expression class. No immediate plans have been made, but the class expects to invite several interesting speakers to the school later in the semester. Mrs. Marie Ersig's sixth hour news- writing class consists of 26 journal- ists in the making. There are 24 members in the first hour advanced journalism class. HELLO, FRESHMEN Although shouts of greenhorn and freshie follow all of you fresh- men about, we upperclassmen are really delighted to have you youngsters to watch over and protect-because, by the time we get to be seniors, we are beginning to feel ancient, and there are lots of us who would gladly change places with you if we could! ! But seriously, now, there are about 2500 of us who will have to work together for nearly nine months. Can you see how much easier it will make it if every one starts now with the correct attitude ? While we are all equal citizens of Woodward, with equal rights, you freshmen will have to submit to the ruling of the upperclassmen many times, and although you may feel rebellious, remember that in 1943 you will be the upperclassmen-will be editing the paper and the yearbook, will be directing student council activi- ties-and, no doubt, will feel just a wee bit more matured than your under- classmates. So, if someone tells you about the horns in your hair, just remember that underneath he is making a bid for your friendship, and that he probably is jealous of you! A sense of humor is one of the musts of high school life. The others are respect, which you owe your instructors, courtesy, to your fellow students, principal, deans, and teachersg and seriousness, toward your scholastic activities. Honestly, though, we're extremely glad you've chosen Woodward. We're going to have some grand times together, aren't we? FORWARD MARCH! FORWARD, MARCH! In Europe, boys, the same age as many of you boys, heard that com- mand a week ago. Then, it meant that they were to begin marching in order to kill others and probably lose their own lives. ' To-day, in Woodward, Forward, March! means that we, who are more fortunate than others, are commencing a long, pleasant journey in the quest of knowledge. In our hands lie the choice as to whether our conquests are going to terminate in victory or failure. By making up our minds now that we are going to correctly proportion our time for work and play, we can be sure of 'success There is no reason why a student should fail in the battle for education if he adopts now a serious attitude toward learning. Next June, when we are commanded to halt , let's be able to be proud of ourselves for winning the battle. The Freshman He enters through the doorway there With starry eyes and well-combed hair. He's not quite sure what lies within, But his heart is pounding with an awful din. He's heard such tales of strange sur- prises, Of the big fourth floor where the elevator rises. He gazes amazed at the long corri- dors - And the countless tiles upon the floors. He shrinks away from wise, old sophs lAnd the upperclassmen with jeers and scoffs. But now at last he's pleased to Hnd That there's several hundred others of his kind. Only Pedantic Jrs. and Srs. To Be Accepted For NYA Jobs Only juniors and seniors will be eligible for N. Y. A. jobs. Students interested in this work must have passed three out of four subjects and must be from 16 to 21 years of age. Each student will be investigated as to need of financial aid, age, and scholarship. Work will consist mainly of help- ing teachers correct papers, record grades, and assist in minor jobs about the class room. Mrs. Betty Brinkerhuff is in charge of the appli- cation for these jobs. Pupils Take Voice Tests Any Woodwardite. who is interested may have his voice tested for radio work in room 154 before the end of this week. Miss Dorothy Kellogg has logged the voices of the 39 pupils in her first hour class and ex- pects to take tests of students from other high schools in the city during the next week. Roving Reporter QUESTION: What is you opinion of the changes that have been made in the daily schedule? TEACHER: Miss Edith Murphy, It's worth trying. There have been so many details to settle for so long a time that I really think it is a good idea. SENIOR: Charles Seim, I'd rather have conference hour back. JUNIOR: Ruth Shasteen, It's O. K. I like it. SOPHOMORE: Evelyn Cooley, I Like the schedule better when it included conference hour. Junior and Senior Girls To Have Bowling, Swimming Sophomore, junior, and senior girls signed up for recreational sports dur- ing seventh hour this semester will have a choice of two new sports, bowling and swimming. The bowling classes will meet on Wednesday and Friday at the Audi- torium Bowling Alleys while the other upperclassmen will be taught to swim at the Y.M.C.A. on Tuesday and Thursday. This Complimentary Issue To Introduce, The Tattlerv In order to introduce the Tattler to every student, this one sheet issue is being distributed today in all classes. That we might be able to have the Tattler out the very first Friday, we had this issue linotyped down town, but hereafter, the Tattler will be written, typed, set up, and printed in Woodward. Next Friday, a regular four sheet edition will be sold by the sixth hour newswriting students in all sixth hour classes. We hope you like us enough this week to buy us next week. WOODWARD LOSES BELOVED TEACHER Mrs. R. Crampton Is Victim Of Auto Accident In Pennsylvania During the summer, death claimed one of our beloved faculty members, Mrs. Ruby Crampton. While return- ing from a brief stay in New York, Mr. and Mrs. Crampton's car was struck by a train, fatally injuring Mrs. Champton and seriously hurting her husband, Faust Crampton. Although at Woodward only two years, she made many staunch and loyal friends with her cheery smile and ready good morning. Mrs. Crampton was known not only for her ability as a teacher of English, but as a very able social Worker. She had the knack of creating a feeling of unity among her classes, she or- ganized the Amici club in her home- room last year. Woodward students and faculty will always remember her as a promoter of education and good will. C. M. Meek Announces Sale Of Activities Ticket Book c. M.1Meek Clyde C. Meek, director of athletic activities, announced to-day that ac- tivities tickets will go on sale in a few days. This year's tickets will be issued in the form of a book and will be known as the Activities Ticket Book. The price of the book remains the same at 52.50, with a 50 cent down payment required when ordering. There are 19 tickets in all which in- clude movies, basketball, and foot- ball games. Each student must keep up his pay- ments in order to retain the book. Should the pupil fall behind in pay- ments, he automatically surrenders the book to his home room teacher. The books are put out to save the time of passing out the tickets. Comprehensive Lit. Exam Given To Sr. English Pupils Mrs. Hazel McManamon, head of the Woodward English department, is introducing a new course of study for English VII and VIII. . All senior English took a compre- hensive literature test on Thursday. A similiar test will be given at the end of the year, to show the student's progress. Results of tests will be compared and tabulated. Mrs. McManamon will use the statistics for a thesis required in her summer courses at Duke University in North Carolina. This will complete her work for a masters degree in English. J THE WOODWARD TATTLER TAYLOR REPLACES NEW INSTRUCTORS TUITION AWARDED BETTER OR WORSE SMITH AS MENTOR ENTER WOODWARD NINE GRADUATES WE'RE IN THE DARK Eight Lettefmell Practice D- BiSh0P, B- MCYCFS, W. Weiss, Four Girls, Five Boys Carry Babies, Hay Fever, New Suits, Dailyg 16 Reserves M. Bellemore, M. Crouse Away Scholastic Awards Operations, New Specks, Return A Join Faculty Rank 1- Eifect Teachers Approximately 100 prospective foot- ball players reported to the new head coach, Jack Taylor, on August 18 for a medical examination preceding prac- tice which began on the twenty-first of said month. Taylor replaces Art Smith as Woodward's mentor. After limbering up for a few days, the squad was cut down to 50 candi- dates and equipment was handed out to the remaining players by Jim Stevenson and Bob Chapman, student managers, after three days of calis- thenics in gym suits. There are six members of last year's varsity squad returning. They are Bill Hughes, Mike Kaczorowski, Jack McKenzie, Leonard Rawski, Jim Tucker, and Chuck McFarland, who was out of the lineup most of last year with a broken leg. George Jacobs, who was on the team in 1937, is also returning. ' Pigskinners coming up from the lightweights include Joe Baz, Bern- ard and Leonard Burns, Paul Boes, Stan Cychler, Horatio Jex, Dick Kos- ter, Bob Myneder, Joe Poddany, Eugene Oswalt, Bob Ramer, Walt Shimman, Jim Tima, Ernest Wid- lund, and Eddie Williams. Widlund, Oswalt, and Shimman were elevated to the varsity before the close of last season but did not receive letters. Francis Gorski, Francis Hoszwa, Leon Konz, Hank and Hawk Boyd, Stan Gogol, Julian Czerwiec and Al Samelak are other promising grid- ders. The Bears were permitted to start fall practice in August ahead of the other city schools because they had no spring workouts due to the lack of a coach. Taylor was assisted in the practice sessions by Bill Hoffman, fullback and co-captain of the '39 team at Syra- cuse, Taylor's alma mater, Paul Lan- kenau and Bill Fetters, Woodward instructors. A. J. Brown is in charge of all equipment with the student managers as his assistants. The first scheduled game is at Bry- an on Friday night, September 15. The Woodward schedule for the 1939-40 season follows: Sept. 15, Bry- ang Sept. 22, Libbeyg Sept. 30, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Oct. 6, Waiteg Oct. 13, Harding, Mariong Oct. 21 DeVil- bissg Oct. 28, Centralg Nov. 4, Ross- fordg and Nov. 11 at Scott. All games are to be played on the opponent's home field except for the Rossford contest which will take place in the Waite stadium. Three Former Bear Gridders See Action In All-Star Tilt Under the guidance of Rollie Be- van, former Polar Bear gridiron coach, the Scots all-city team de- feated the All-Stars in the first an- nual Grant Murray charity All-Star game held in the Waite bowl on Au- gust 30. The fmal score was 18-6 in the Scots favor. Chip Houser, coach of last year's city champions at Libbey, was the All-Stars head mentor. Ziggy Kaminski, ex-grad, was an outstanding player for the winners. On the opposing team were Ted Go- sciniak and Mike Anello, both former Bear gridders. Bill Cummins, Ber- nard Shaw, and Benny Langlois, all formerlv of Woodward, drilled with ' ' ' 1- A -M A-Y ' - Miss Dorothy Warner Woodward welcomes five new fac- ulty members this year, increasing the teaching body to 77. Miss Doro- thy Bishop hails from Girl's Voca- tional and will assume freshmen English duties here. Because of Elmer Rike's resignation, Mrs. Bea- trice Meyers, a former Woodward substitute, takes over mathematics classes. New faces seen in the com- mercial department are Wilson Weis and Mrs. Margaret Bellemore replac- ing Miss Dorothy Warner, transferred and Miss Mary Cady, who retired, respectively. Miss Dorothy Kellogg, former English and dramatics teacher, has charge of radio production in Toledo schools with headquarters at Wood- ward. The commercial department loses Miss Dorothy Warner, who is taking Mrs. Ruby Crampton's English classes. Miss nomics Crouse, instructor in mathematics, return to Woodward after a year's leave of absence. Mrs. Kellermeier is the former Grace Lawton. Blanche Hazelton, home eco- teacher, and Mrs. Mary B. 0. E. To Furnish Books Again this year text books are to be furnished to students in all classes. Many of these books have never been opened, while others have had nom- inally little use. However, whether new or used, they should have the respect and care due them. It is, indeed a responsibility to have in one's possession, for a year, books belonging to someone else, in this case, the Board of Education, and to be able to return them at the close of school in good condition for many more years' use. It is hoped that students will realize this and appreci- ate it. Student Council To Sponsor Movies During Lunch Hours Following last year's plan, the Student Council under the guidance of Joe Dence and Mrs. Kathryn Schuler, will again assist during the movies in the auditorium during the fourth and fifth hour lunch periods. Pupils will be admitted for two cents and may eat their lunch during the movie. A Student Council committee will aid Principal Charles La Rue in selecting the movies to be shown. A. R. Bitter's electrical classes will be in charge of the projection ma- chine. the teams but failed to participate in the encounter. Each player will receive a white sweater with red emblems, similar to those of the college All-Star's. Upon graduation from Woodward last June, Rose Shemas, Jennie Pay- ak, and Mary Jane Frankowski were awarded one year scholarships to To- ledo University. Raymond Sheline, Jr., on virtue of his being the third highest standing in his class, was of- fered one, but surrendered it to Mary Jane upon being offered a 33300 schol- arship to Bethany College, West Vir- ginia, which he accepted. The Polish Literary Alumni Associ- ation of Woodward awarded its De- Sales scholarship to Joseph Sternial- ski, and the Polish Literary Society presented Clare Przystup with a sim- ilar one. Paul Shiman, after taking an achievement test, was also award- ed one to DeSales. Malcolm Hogg, because of his high standing in a state wide examination, was awarded a three year scholar- ship to Ohio State University, where he is studying law. This scholarship was obtained for Malcolm by Dr. Ray Wood, who was in charge of scholar- ship tests in the state. Richard Durham was awarded a one year scholarship to Telledaga col- lege in Georgia. INSTRUCTORS TRAVEL AT HOME In the course of the summer, our wandering pedagogues have traversed a large part of this country and some have even ventured abroad. I went in heavily for antiquing this summer, smiled Kathryn Schu- ler, English teacher, when telling of her trip through New York, Pennsyl- vania, and the Ozark Mountains. She also visited Miss Mary Cady, former faculty member, at her home in Or- chard Lake, Michigan. Meeting Senator Robert Taft, visi- ting Gettysburg and Williamsburg were a few of the high spots of Miss Catherine Brown's itinerary through the southeastern and Atlantic states. California has a perfectly delight- ful climate, beamed Miss Anne Wet- terman, freshman girls' dean, as she reminisces of the sunny state and scenery en route. On his travels, Howard Phipps, Latin instructor, covered Pennsyl- vania and the New'York Exposition at which television and the General Motors exhibit captured most of his interests. I had lots of fun catching big fish in the Pacific, reminisced Hugh Montgomery, who chose to go West. Mr. Montgomery visited the Golden Gate Exposition, and while passing through Portland, Oregon, stopped at the home of R. E. Dugdale, former Superintendent of Toledo public schools. Two months in France, studying at a university in the Pyrennes moun- tains, and touring the country con- stituted the vacation of George Roh- rer, French teacher. The beautiful stained windows in the Cathedral de Chartres were the things that impressed me most, Mr. Rohrer continued, they were recently removed to prevent their destruction during the war. Woodwarditee would take two Mrs. Grace Kellermeier In seeing again the familiar faces of your faculty friends, you probably noticed some changes for better or worse. Cease worrying. We think we know the answers. That proud but paternal look worn by Leo Robie is due to his repeated role as Papa. Young Norman made his appearance on July 6, making him two months and two days old. Remember Miss Lawton? She is no longer with us, but Mrs. Keller- meier bears a striking resemblance. Congratulations. The hay fever season has brought about a new fad in nose ornaments. Mrs. Upp and others are sporting them. We are very glad to see Miss Louise Tippett and Miss Grace Cronk back again. We hope the ladies keep in- tact in the future. Have you seen Clyde VanTassel in his .new attire? Green is most be- coming. If Mrs. Dorothy Matheny doesn't seem quite the same it's because she isn't. She got rid of her appendix during vacation. Mrs. Betty Brinkerhuif Miss Betty Perkins is now off the eligible list. We notice her wearing certain ornaments on the third finger of her left hand. Please be good to Miss Mabel Ru- tan as she is still recuperating from a serious operation which she under- went in June. S. B. Crouse looks very professorly in his new bifocals. We wonder if they are the result of a deficiency in his golf game this summer. Now please, kids, don't tell the teachers we told you. steps at a time to get back to Wood- ward was the opinion of Mrs. Mary 0'Brien, biology teacher, as she told of her vacation which she used visit- ing mountain schools in the Ozarks. The fishing was terrible, was the comment Coach Jack Taylor made about the lakes of southern New York.

George Spaulding, '38 Grad, Appointed To Naval Academy George E. Spaulding, Jr., former Woodward student, has received an appointment as midshipman to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. George took the Naval Academy examinations last December and was chosen as second alternate by Congress- man John F. Hunter. When notified that the first alternate had failed, he and his father left immediately for Annapolis. A student of engineering at the University of Toledo, George received certificates from Principal C. C. LaRue and Philip C. Nash, President of the University. These credits were suffi- cient to waive all medical examinations. Sr. Hi-Y To,Sponsor Dance Clifton Manore was elected treasurer of the senior Hi-Y at thier meeting last Tuesday.

Miss Edith Murphy and Miss Doro- thy Warner are co-advisers of the asso- . ciation. 1939-'40 Marks Increase In Woodward Enrollment Upon taking the latest available 39-40 census it was found that the population of Woodward consisted of 2422 students: 70 more than last year, 77 faculty members and three oflice girls. Those little freshmen donlt look quite so small in enrollment, as they con- stitute over 34 per-cent of our populace with 417 girls and 426 boys for a total of 813 Placing third and forth respectively are the sophomores and juniors. The sophomores include 337 girls and 318 boys totaling in all 655. While the juniors add next with 530 students, 293 being girls and 237 being boys. Though the seniors may lead in every- thing else they bring up the rear in enrollment with 292 girls and 192 boys for total of 394. Get Acquainted Week Held To Open Season's Activities The Student Council opened the sea' son's activities by holding the second annual Get Acquainted Week. Mari- lyn Schoonmaker and Louis Emm are in charge of this affair. White tags distinguish seniors, jun- iors are represented by blue tags, yellow cards adorn the sophomoresg and the usual green let us know who the fresh- men are. John Raczko has the Word, Rock written on his tag, while Rene Gregorek sports the name Roman on hers. Doris Kanipe, who doesn't want to be known as a freshman, will not wear her tag. We saw one, Ernie Liver Lip Hallg who can that be? Betty J anczew- ski calls herself Buggsy. Jean Douglas, LeRoy Hansen To Attend Council Meet Jean Douglas, editor of the Tattler, and LeRoy Hansen, historian of the Student Council, are the senior girl and junior boy chosen to represent Wood- ward at the Family Life Education Youth Council for the 1939-40 term. The first meeting of the year will be held on Monday, September 18, 7:30 p. m. at the Y. M. C. A. The purpose of this organization, which is city-wide, is to coordinate home and family living. . English Teacher To Write Thesis On Reading Methods Woodward students taking senior English are providing material for a thesis Mrs. Hazel McManamon will write next summer to suppliment the Masters degree she has received from Duke University. Four senior English classes will be used in an experiment to determine whether extensive or intensive reading is more beneficial. The same compre- hensive literature examinations, which were given September 14, will be re- peated as proof. Two experimental groups have been formed--the control group, and the ex- perimental. The experimental group will read as many books as possible within a period of three weeks. No tests or reports, except for a short synopsis of each book, will be required. Mill on the Floss, will be the only novel read by the control group. They will be required to take tests, make re- ports, and work intensively for the same time. Principal C. C. LaRue Sets Advanced Gayety Nite Date Principal C. C. LaRue has an- nounced that this year Gayety Nite will be held December 8 instead of in the spring as is customary. This date is the result of the suggestion of both faculty and students that the annual carnival take place first se- mester as a trial. In order to allow sufficient time and opportunity to prepare concessions for the event, Mr. LaRue also an- nounced that no class, club, or organ- ization may book dates for social functions between Friday, November 3, and Friday, December 8. Five Teachers Patrol Halls During Both Lunch Periods For the school team of 1939-40, George Rohrer, Leo Robie, Clyde Van Tassel, Paul Lankeneu, Joe Dence, and Mrs. Kathryn Schuler, have been assigned to patrol the halls during both lunch periods. Mrs. Schuler and Joe Dence will have charge of the auditorium doors for the noon movies. The remaining teachers, in an effort to promote order and cleanliness, will patrol the halls and cafeteria. Commissioners Chosen Betty Jane Roth and John Vinson were appointed commissioners of hall patrol : t the first meeting of the Student Council. Hall patrol captains were also selected and their hours are as follows: first hour, Betty Jane Roth and assistant, Robert Kubicki, John Vinson, second hour. Anna Brona is captain third hour, sixth hour captains are Lois Roth and Kathryn Seemang and John Vinson is captain during the seventh hour. Marilyn Schoonmaker and Louis Emm were selected co-chairmen of Get Acquainted Week . Mrs. Kathryn Schuler and Joe Dence are the advisors of this governing body.

Woodward Loyalty Stickers Can Be Obtained In Room 308 Woodward loyalty stickers, such as those placed on the doors of all the rooms in the school, are on sale in the boys' gym for five cents. These stickers are about four inches square and consist of a white polar bear reposing on a large blue letter W , through which Woodward is print- ed in silver. Any smooth surface can be decorated by these stickers. The emblems have been placed on school doors by the athletic association. Proceeds from the sales will be used for intra-mural equipment.

Every member has taken THE WOODWARD TATTLER Rules And Laws Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, man was asked to abide by certain rules and laws. If he failed to obey, he was punished, sometimes by death. In Woodward, we have an Student Council to make laws This body was chosen by the are made only for the purpose organization called and enforce them. students. The laws of establishing and maintaining a high standard for the school. an oath promising to carry out the rules of the council. Therefore, when a member reminds you to obey the school regulations, remember that he is only doing his duty. The rules are written elsewhere in this paper. Please read and obey them. Please Holler Are there some things about Woodward which you especially like or dislike, whether it be student conduct or a new arrangement of classes? We know that thvere are many things in our school which need correction. Often the suggestions we offer in our editorials are contrary to student opinion, or you may agree with us and want to help us push our ideas. In either case, we wish the student body to express its opinion in the form of letters to the editor, which the Tattler will print. Just drop your contribution in the box outside of the Tattlcr office Croom 1227 and Tattler will do its best to have your letter appear in the next issue. Writing a letter to the editor of the Tattler will im- prove our school! Smooth Sailing, Teachers This editorial is directed toward the new instruct- ors who have come to help instill knowledge into the 2700 students who have chosen Woodward as headquarters for their high school education. To these men and women, we wish to extend our heartiest wish that their term in Woodward will be a long and pleasant one. We know that, to be chosen to teach, you had to be people of the high- est calibre, intelligence, and honesty. Surely you are most worthy of our deepest respect and cooper- ation. The Tattler staff, then, greets the new additions to the faculty, and, on behalf of the student body, pledges to you wholehearted respect end support.

More educational and musical pro- 3. An alert Student Council. Principal Points l C? American schools are once more in ses 1 sion and are apparently following their normal order. However, on the other side of the Atlantic, stulents have found things drastically changed. War torn Europe is no haven for educational institutions in- tended for the conscientious teaching of 1- ' modern youth. Where there is school at all, classes are overshadowed by the fear of air raids, anxiety for relatives and friends at the front, and the general tragedy of the situation. In lax ge English and French cities citizens have been hurried away to the comparatively safe countryside where, if possible at all, education must go on in rude, hastily constructed shelters. These, naturally, have little of the equipment which to us is so necessary to our school lite. Heie in America, still free from the horrors of war, students go to school in modern, well- equipped buildings, where young minds and bodies are trained, not for service at the battle front, but for wholesome enlightened future lives. Some of you may have grumbled at the prospect of commencing another year of study. However, a lot more would be grumbling if that school year were not going to begin, or if it were to be held under war-ne- cessitated conditions not at all pleasant. 1 think vou will find that School Days is a much more desirable theme song than Over There. GX ',,,,, X I Newsette Wake Up Woowardites! We have been given the outsanding privilege of annoucing the arrival at the Stickney Avenue airport of I. M. Goode, interior deco- rator, and U. R. Diggin, landscape gardener. School will be closed next Monday so that the pupils may witness the escorting parade. When approached by our reporter, Mr. Goode stat- ed that he planned on painting the girls' lockers a baby blue and the boys', a delicate shade of bright red. The surrounding walls and ceiling will be deep purple while the floors be grassy green. He also de- clared that curtains of ora nge will drape the windows. You students, he smiled, will seem, brilliant in this bright atmosphere. I have decided to paint the building white and landscape the yard in corresponding colonial fashion, stated Mr. Diggin. Evergi'eens, he said, will be added and scenic tours will be conducted by the art classes. C. C. La Rue has given special permission for the pupils to just sit and gaze at their new environment. Lesson In Safe Cracking The first problem confronting new Woodwardites is how to penetrate the wall separating them from their precious possessions. The thing that seems to be causing all the trouble is the small metal dingus with the dial that is hanging nonchalantly from the handle. Here are a few tips on mastering the brute. First: Take a deep breath, lto steady the nervesl and plant yourself gracefully in front of the offending object. Next: glare at the thing in a tone that com- mands obedience. Now that you have it subdued, the next thing is to begin a patient search in your brain for those three little numbers, betterknown as a com- bination. Got it? You're doing very well, indeed. Now! Take the thing in hand. If it so happens that the lock has been 'ffixed by a helpful pal, you'll have to stand on your head first. Hokay! Start working. Confidentially, in spite of all the rumors to the contrary it's usually a good idea to have the numbers in the right order. Right, left, right. Don't march! The crisis is here. Witli a deft twist of the wrist, PULL. If the lock opens, the rest is easy. If not, hold our temper. Phenomenon Him were just a common bug Who went to sleep in an Oriental rug.

I haven't time for both and it's hard to decide. Of course gym is more active, but art is so interesting. Gee, Mom, I like them both. Doting mother: I dou't know who this Jim and Art are, Daughter, but I don't want you getting boy crazy at your age?

Fashion Fancies What every fashion conscious female will wear this fall: Shoulder pad for protection against freshmen in a hurry. Lace-trimmed gas mask, so as not to be out done by Europeans. High button shoes with blue and white shoe laces. White cuffs to write test answers on. Bashful petticoats that are to shy to be seen. A hat with cherries Qmaraschinoj on it. Seamless stockings.

Plenty of gossip these days circulating Woodward, but after all, these summer romances are interesting, don't you think, or don't you? Harold Mondville, vivacious freshman, doesn't go for girls who wear too much lipstick. The old fashioned girl is much more desirable. Kenneth Anson derives great pleasure from walking round Woodward halls. lBeware of these freshmen boys, you seniors, as some are just mo, too, rlivine.l Sinn-e many additions have been added to the Woodward faculty list, Woodward femmes have begun to take an even greater interest in their appearance. As you little kiddies may be getting slightly bored with this untimely chatter, your star headache, Snoopy Snoop, will take a powder and blow, before you dismember this masterpiece into refuse. Vacation Vagrancies Checking up on the students in this hyar school of larninf' the past vacation is revealed as having been educational, exciting, and adventuresome. Bill Prebe and Horatio Jex braved intense cold while leading an Artic expedition in search of the original Woodward polar bear. Just to be different, Bill Gernheuser and Wanda Jane Sitek went game- hunting in the blazing jungle heat of Africa. They brought back a pair of monkeys which are now en- tered as freshmen. A group of students numbering 365 were pre- sented at the court of King Edouardo of Hugosla- vania. Edward Williams and Earl Greenberg, those am- bitious boys, hibernated all summer, while several of the more luxuriously inclined did their dosing on the Riviera. Freeman Tate started off in a rowboat one fine afternoon, while Clifton Manore decided to dig a hole in the back yard. They met in China where they had a welcoming party for themselves since no oneelse took the trouble to give it for them. On the whole, last summer has made a decided improvement in the student body. Humble Ancestor Says He who acts like a wild animal in the hall usually looks like an ass anyway. J. HENRY TAYLOR GIVES INTERVIEW New Football Coach States 'Woodward Lacks Enthusiasm' I like sports of any kindg it was born in me, I guess, stated John Henry iheavenly p h y s i q u el Taylor, Woodwardls new football coach. In case anyone of you boys don't know him fthe girls all doj, he is the fellow with five feet, eleven inches and 180 pounds to his credit. If you're in need of further identification, he's the person with unbelievably long eye lashes over blue eyes, brown-inclined- to-be-wavy heir, and a most infectious grin, which does things to his eyes. The only thing wrong with Wood- ward is its lack of enthusiamf' said Coach Taylor. The swellest group of kids I've ever worked with are those that are out on the field, but the best material is walking around the halls. Although we have a scrappy team, it lacks size and weight, quoth he, in one of his serious moments. J. H. H. P. Taylor, next to football, enjoys reading most. He reads every- thing---travel, biographies, history, and Hction. lf you invite him to supper, don't worry over the menu, for he'll eat anything---that is, except chipped beef, which was what Syracuse College gave their football heroes to thrive on. Toledo claims the honor of Mr. Tay- lor's birth. Libbey High School was his favorite school--before becoming an in- structor in Woodward. He attended William Raymond Riordon prep school in Highland, New York, before entering Syracuse College. Asked about his matrimonial inten- tions, Mr. Taylor admitted that, al- though he hasnit taken the final step, he is on the verge. Wallace Beery is his favorite cinema star, and he, like Major Bowes, prefers a Dodge. fWe didn't get his license number.J I consider myself just an average teacher, but I enjoy teaching im- tnenselyf' he confided. I think Wood- ward's instructors are very efficient, and the student body, except for the lack of enthusiam, is grand, he added. When asked the color he preferred girls to wear, our new Mentor decided that it depends on the girl, although he is fond of blue, green, brown, and red. Because sports took up most of his spare time when he was going to school, he didn't have a chance to dance much, but the surprising thing is, he actually likes to dance. Maybe he won't always be so busy, but right now, he admitted, he is so busy, that eating is his only form of recreation. In case you should ever want to know, room 119 is ,his headquartersg he doesn't get home until seven o'clock, so phone calls prior to that time will be unanswered. I hope this interview will induce more boys to come out for football---it's the grandest sport in the world, con- cluded Mr. Taylor. New Girls' Sports Clause New Gym Markings To Be Painted Due to the fact that many new sports have been introduced in the girls' gym classes, an entire new set offloor mark- ings were painted in. Besides repainting all the basketball courts in black, new foul circles and court lines for some of the recreational sports including badminton, deck tennis and paddle tennis were added in green. Activities Ticket Holders Allowed To Mass Meetings Only people who have activities books or tickets will be admitted to the mass meeting before the Libbey game next Thursday, stated Clyde C. Meek, activities directer. Books must be bought before the meeting if a student wants to go. A transfer with the Polar Bear and a W will be given with each activities book order and a down payment of fifty cents. THE WOODWARD TATTLER I NEW GYM PROGRAM PLANNED FOR GIRLS Three Major Activities Are Offered To Complete Semester Course An introduction of a new gym pro' gram was made this year by the in' novators, Miss Catherine McClure and Mrs. Stella Harre, 'Woodward gym teachers, to all sophomore, junior, and senior girls taking gym. The idea is that each girl shall choose, from the three major activities ollered, her program for the following semester. However, she may not participate in the same activity both semesters. Recreational sports, major sports, and dancing are included in the major activities offered. Listed under the rec- reational sports group are: archery, badminvon, deck tennis, paddle tennis, table tennis, shuffleboard, and horse- shoes. These games will be played in season. Hockey, volleyball, and basketball are the major sports included in the first semesters program. Comprising the second half-yearis work are basket- ball, volleyball, and softball. Students choosing the dancing course will re- ceive instructions in folk dancing, mod- ern dancing, country dancing, and so- cial dancing. Separate classes in swimming and bowling are being organized for pupils having seventh hour gym. The girls, who Mrs. Stella Harre has charge of, will receive instructions in swimming at the Y.M.C.A. on Tuesday and Thurs- day and will bowl on Wednesday and Friday under the supervision of Miss Catherine McClure at the Recreation Bowling Alleys. A small fee will be charged for these classes. The program formerly used by all girls gym classes will be followed by the freshmen students so that they will acquire a knowledge of dancing and the following games: soccer, volley- ball, basketball, and softball. Insuffient Uniforms Is Only Regret Of Lightweight Coach My only regret is that we don't have enough uniforms to outfit each and ev- ery boy that-tries out for the team, stated Paul Lankeneau, lightweight foot- ball coach. A great number ofboys, although in- experienced look good and the teams weight average is the highest in recent years, he also declared. Regulars returning from last years squad are Bortels and Johnston at guard, Macautry, Spelia, and Potts in the backfield and Bowes, end. Any reserve good enough may be sent to the first squad. The varsity players must battle to maintain their berths.A group of boys working out in gym suits have very good chances of winning a position on the reserve squad. Mr. Clyde Meek, athletic director, has written to various out of town high schools, trying to schedule games to preceed those on the city schedule. Don Fisher To Teach Hygiene Every freshmen is required to take one semester of hygiene, under the supervision of Don Fisher. The first semester classes will in- clude freshmen boys whose names begin with the initials from A to K, and the second semester from H to Z. Classes will be held in room 141 on Mondays or Wednesdays and will con- sist of Instructions in Health. New Equipment Purchased For Use Iii Girls? Gymnasium New equipment for the girls' gym which has been purchased for the use of girls taking recreational or major sports includes: volleyballs, bats, bas- ketballs, soccer balls, hockey balls, sticks, and shin guards. Students taking rest gym or recrea- tional sports will have new badminton rackets, nets, and shuttlecocksg a table for table tennis, a net, balls, and pad- dlesg archery bow, arrows, target, target cover, and bow strings. YWOODWARD PLAYS BRYAN TONITEg TEAM OUT TO REPEAT 1937 VICTORY - C3 CROSS COUNTRY TO DEFEND CITY TITLE George J aschke With only two members of last years cross country champions returning, Coach Bill Fetters faces the task of building a new squad. George Jaschke and Bill Gernheuser are the lettnermen coming back. The city league schedule has not been announced, but it is certain that the Bears will run against Fremont on October seventh, Adrian, Sylvania in preperation for the district meet to be held on the twenty eighth of said month. Woodward will be defending champs this year as they didn't lose a city meet in 1938. - Henry Jaschke, Ronald Sharer, and Eugene Wietrykowski, were out for the squad last year but didn't earn letters. New boys out practicing every night are Cooperman, McClaren, Fay, Winn, Rassler, Boggs, Krieger, Bublick, Baker, Hawk, and Sherman. Football Squad-Gym Classes Benefit With New Equipment Woodward's expectant football team starts the season this year with new equipment purchased by the school. Woodward gridders will parade in new helmets, shoulder and hip pads, sweat socks, and shoes. New pants for the practice squad get a stiff workout on the new tackling dummy. The boy's gym has also profited by this movement. Two molded basketballs and six regular basketballs are now in use. The molded basketballs, which are expected to retain their shape and last longer, are being used as an experiment. If they hold up better than the regular balls, they will probably be adopted as standard in Woodward. Six foctballs and five new volleyballs have been ordered due to the increase in the size of gym classes. The ever-in- creasing popularity of table tennis has prompted the school to purchase twelve new ping-pong paddles. This new equipment together with an excellent gymnasium is expected to give Woodward one of the best athletic departments in the city. Ernie Bedford, Custodian, Declares He 'Can Take It' The task of keeping our dear old Alma Mater clean is now resting on the shoulders of Ernest L. Bedford,the new custodian. Mr. Bedford can take itf' however, having Hlled the same position at South Elementary School for ten years, and at Libbey High School for five years. He assumes a cheerful aspect by say- ing, I like Woodward very much--so farf' Polar Bears Expect A Tough Battleg Game Will Be At Eight Woodward's grid squad opens their 1939 schedule tonight at 8 p. m. when they engage Bryan on the latter's home field. The Bears won the only previous get together of said schoolsin 1937 bya 20-13 count. Whereas the Bears were hit heavily by graduation last spring, Bryanis were comparitively light. Woodward has a half dozen letter men returning, but none could be termed as a regular last season's player. With every berth on the team wide open, coach Jack Taylor's charges have been battling hard for positions in to- night's starting lineup. The team has been working on pass defense as coach Taylor expects the Bryan squad to use an extensive aerial attack. The opposi- tion boasts a number of members of the 1938-39 district basketball champs. Incidently, Bryan's head mentor hap- pens to be a Taylor also. Classes will not begin. at Bryan until next Monday, but the pigskinners have been practic- ing daily for nearly four weeks and expect a good showing tonight. Coach Taylor expects this contest to be one of the toughest opening clashes for Woodward or any city team. The lineup Friday night will include McFarland, Myneder and Poddany at the pivot positiong McKenzie, Kackor- 0WSlL1,. and L. Burns at one guard with Czerw1ec,Gorski, and B. Burns on the other sideg at one tackle Haddad, Baz, and Hoszwa with Tucker, Cychler and Rawski at the other, wings will be Koster, Konz and Campbell while Shimman, Oswalt, and Williams will hold down the other flank. The backfield will include Jex or Ramer at quarter, Jacobs or Hughes at half, Henry Boyd,Tima or Harold Boyd in the tail back slot and Widlund or Gogol at full As this is the first game of the season it was impossible to obtain a lineup according to strings. Fifteen Students Select Oral Expression For Class Fifteen students are now enrolled in Mrs. Dorothy Mathenyls oral expres- sion class. Her plans are not definite, but the class will proceed about the same as last year's. Members of the class include Leonard Cooperman, Richard Koster, Marjorie Cowell. James Stephenson, Clifton Ma- nore, Phyllis Cotton, Evelyn Schultz, Robert Miller, Peter Zelles, Louise Edna Barnett, Nickey Allemenus, Phyllis Jean Alberts, Bette Stevenson, Roy Timmons, and Isadore Yourst.

Bellemore Declares Many More Students Will Bulge Walls I like Woodward very much, but it seems to be so large, declared Mrs. Margaret Bellemore, new tvping and shorthand teacher. Ulf there were many more pupils,I believe the walls would bulge. Mrs. Bellemore hails from Greenfield, Massachusetts where she attended Greenfield High School. While enrolled at New York University, she attaineda B. S. degree. Before coming toWoodward Mrs. Bellemore taught at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York. I am very fond of sports and probably will attend many of VVoodward's football and basketball games, stated Mrs. Bellemore, who gives hopes of being an ardent sports fan. Mr. Bellemore also follows the teaching profession. He is an instructor of money and finance at Toledo Uni- versity. The Bellemores are the proud parents of two sons---Robert, age one, and David, two. Teachers Study In College While Student Body Loafs While the student-1 of Woodward played and rested this summer, faculty members studied at various universi- ties. Mrs. Eula Upp, math instructor, and Miss Dorothy Warner, English teacher, studied at Toledo University. Mrs. Hazel McManamon, head of the English department, received her Mas- ters degree at Duke University, while Miss Dorothy Kellogg, English teacher, also studying out of town, obtained a Masters degree in speech at Ann Arbor, University. Attending Columbia Teachers' Col- lege, Miss Mary Boyles, biology in- structor, earned her Masters degree this summer. Mr. Wilson Weis, new member of the commercial department, received his Masters degree in science at Ohio state University.

MOTHERS T0 VISIT SCHOOL CAFETERIA Students Urged To Carry Trays And Bottles To Provided Places Through the thoughtfulness of Mrs. Hazel Ashbrooke, cafeteria head, the mothers of Woodwardites are going to find out what their offspring eat for lunch. Two mothers from each VVoodward elementary district are to be invited to lunch and visit as guest of the cafeteria. Mrs. Andrew Douglas, who has two daughters in Woodward, has been select- ed as the first guest. Mrs. Douglas, will bring with her another mother from the Spring school district. The mothers are to inspect the kitchen equipment and also learn what the menu is and how it is prepared. There are six boys and fourteen girls working both lunch periods in the caf- eteria. Miss Grace Cronk who patrols the lunch- room fourth hour, requests the cooper- ation of the pupils in placing their trays and empty milk bottles in the places provided. A. J. Brown supervises the fifth hour lunch period. Raymond Sheline and Leo Robie are at the cash registers the first lunch pe- riod, while Joy Morhardt and Elmer Wohler take over these duties the last lunch hour. Mrs. Ashbrooke wishes to have the students reminded that Canadian mon- ey cannot be accepted by the cafeteria at any timeg and she also seconds Miss Cronk's request for students to carry tray and milk bottles to the tables placed in the lunchroom for that purpose. Beginners Resume Task Of Distributing Weekly Paper Sixth hour beginners, news writing class will again be responsible for the distribution of the Tattler on Friday of each week. Their work in this class will consist of learning how to write news, features, sports, editorials and head- lines.

Similiar to previous years,the group again is made up of a large majority of girls. Because of the fact that certain phases of news writing are more suit- able to them, all Sophomore boys who are interested in news writing and whose grades in English are 'B' or higher are invited to join the class. Mary Latus New Tattlerite Mary Latus has been chosen to fill a vacancy on the Tattler staff which re- sulted when Ray Searles left Woodward. Ray, now a cadet at Culver Military Academy, would have held the position of business manager. STUDENT COUNCIL SELECTS RULES---OFFICERS By the time a student reaches high school he has absorbed enough of the ideals of democracy to want to govern himself. As it is impossible for every student to make the rules for the school, each class elects several of its members to participate in the Student Council activities. This ruling group then makes the rules for the school. With the help and cooperation of all the students abiding by the following rules, the Council hope to make the wheels of school life turn more smoothly. Hoping and believing that Wood- 1 wardites desire to do what is right and best for the whole student body, each council member will do his best to carry out the following rules: 1. No student shall be in the halls during class hours without a hall permit. 2. Running, whistling, and all un- necessary noise are forbidden in the school building. 3. No boy shall be permitted to wear his hat in the building. 4. No student is allowed to look in doors during class periods. 5. Defacing or destroying any prop- erty in the building is prohibited. 6. All refuse must be put in the con- tainers provided. CLASS IS FORMED FOR RADIO WORK Script, Audition, Production Committees Chosen By Miss D. Kellogg Miss Dorothy Kellogg has started a special class for majoring in radio work.

Among these are the audition committee, which will make a chart giving complete infor- mation and classification of all the stu- dents who take voice tests, and the apparatl s committee. which will test the microphone, talk back, loud speak- er, and control board. Shirley Superior is chairman of the studio committee with Ruth Hall, Helen Glinski, and Rose Remer acting as hostesses to explain the radio work to visitors from other schools. ' The script committee is working on a production concerning a campus problem. All students interested in radio work should watch the bulletins for time of auditions. Untimely Bell Ringings And Paper Coverings Explained In case you've been wondering: The early dismissals last Friday and Monday were not because the office girls felt sorry for you. It so happens that when repairing the bell apparatus, a pin was put in the wrong place. Don't worry, it won't happen again. , Miss Dorothy Bishop is responsible for the paper coverings on the door windows in 124. It seems to be an ef- fective solution to the problem of these sign conversations and monkey shines that go on between those within and those not so fortunate. Kickoff' Dinner Attended By Teachers, Coaches, Doctor Sunningdale Golf Club was the scene of the annual Kickoff Dinner given by the athletic departments of the Toledo high schools at 6:30 p. m. last Tuesday evening.

XII A Toledo, ohio september 22, 1939 No. 3 1l W-WARD MOTHERS INSPECT CAFETERIA Two Representatives Like Students' Orderly Conduct We were surprised at the orderly conduct of the students in the cafe- teria, especially when they took their trays and waste paper to the proper places, declared Mrs. Andrew Doug- las and Mrs. Elizabeth Krawetzke, the first of the mothers invited by Mrs. Cecil Ashbrook to examine the cafeteria. The representatives of the Spring School district stated that the fifteen cent lunch was a well-balanced meal full of vitamins. After inspecting the kitchen equipment, Mrs. Elizabeth Krawetzke said that the food was kept hot and that everything was in tempting array. Criticisms Also Listed After being shown all over the cafeteria, the mothers listed these criticisms: 1. Students should have the proper change so that the line would move more quickly. 2. lf it would be possible, the school slsould put the menu in a more convenient place so that the pupils wouldn't halt the line. 3. There should be more helpers to hand out the various dishes-each person should be in charge of just one food. 4. Everything should be done to encourage speed in serving Wood- wardites. Let The Dads Eat, T00 Why not have the Dads drop in, alone or with the mothers ? inquired Mrs. Andrew Douglas. The fathers would certainly tell whether or not they enjoyed the meal, she added. Mrs. Cecil Ashbrook stated that it was a novel idea. P. T. A.

Winning of this first inter-city game will be largely up to you, the student body of Woodward. When our team goes out on the field to clash with the foe, every loyal Woodward student should be there, backing the players, to show Coach Taylor that all his splendid work has not gone to naught. Let's keep the hopes of our team from vanishing through lack of loyalty on our part. Let's Get Going C. LARUE announced last week that the annual Gayety Nite carnival date has been moved ' up to December 8. In previous years, this big event was held in the early spring.

But, Woodwardites don't wait until the last minute before you prepare for the carnival. Start thinking! Planning! Organizing! For the work that used to take a year must be done in half the time. Let's have some action! Join And Reap The Profits NE OF THE best opportunities for the discus sion of school problems and plans is offered by the Parent-Teachers Association. The an- nufal membership campaign is now in progress. It is hoped that this year, in view of the serious situation brought about by the tax levey, a large membership may be obtained. An undeniably strong influence on school legislation is brought about by the mutual understanding of parents and teachers in this organization. If you are a teacher, help make the Woodward faculty's P. T. A. membership 100 per cent by join- ing at the earliest opportunity. If you are a stud- ent, you can help your school by inducing your parents to become members. We have been asked what pert, little Arlene Huiss does with her spare time. Should I tell-um? Confi- dentially, you'll find her in lab, dessecting grasshop- pers. Bug craze. THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published And Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

Physics students are hereafter going to let their ice cream melt before they eat it, after what was revealed to them the other day. Why is it that Virginia Striggow is never able to live in only one locker? Muff wonders if the Poli h Corridor is the hall going into Mr. Robie's room. Alice Koop thinks Lawrence Bell is absolutely pre- cious.' Why doesn't he do something about it? A lot of the last batch of grads have been buggin' around Woodward to see if the faculty has recovered from their departure yet. The news bottle is dry, so so-long till later.

Tale of Bliss When little Moonblossom first came to Woodward, she was very timid. In fact, she was so timid that she was afraid to ride in the Woodward elevator. She shivered and shook so much that pupils on the floor below were in danger of falling plaster. But one day our little heroine found a new interest. It came to her like---like a flower-scented dream. Ah, how she changed. Little Moonblossom was now radi- ant. She walked with a gay step and there was a new light in her eye. Best of all, her new delight did not stop at school but accompanied her home each night. Oh happiness! Ah, how she did love algebra! Well, boys and gals, if you still feel as though you have got the number craze, just try San Quentin. They tell me they give them free of charge.

The mystery of underground passage- ways and secret stairways give a vividly romantic background to the fascinating story of court life and court intrigue. Weather or Not After gazing at the barometer, twirling the weath er vain, shaking up the thermometer, and counting the clouds, the Woodward weather man, Mr. Rainor Shine, is ready to make his annual prediction. There will be weatherlt' he emphatically declared, and produced a page of statistics to prove it. Mr. Shine expects snow sometime between now and March, and states that there will also be rain. By the law of averages we ought to have sun- shine and sunshadow too, he promised hopefully. Now kids you can dress accordingly. THE WOODWARD TATTLER BEAR GRIDDERS JOURNEY T0 BRYAN WUODWARD OPENS Thirty players, three student manag- ers, and one sports writer met with C- M. Meek and Coaches Taylor and Mc- Murray and Equipment Manager Brown at 3:30 last Friday in preparation ofthe trip to Bryan. After eating three slices of toast, two poached eggs, and tea in the Woodward cafeteria, the players boarded the bus at approximately 4:15 and left for oppo- sition's fair metropolis. As the bus was too small, or the number of pas- sengers too big, Chuck McFarland, Eddie Williams, and the sports writer rode with McMurray and Bill Fetters in Mads Ford. On the way the squad kept wondering how large the Bryan team would be, what kind of a field they had, if there were any good looking girls there and a million and one other things. The bus went by just as the members of Dave McMurray's car came from an apple orchard ladened with luscious fruit but the bus didn't stop. We had permission to trespass. Upon the arrival in the city of Bryan at 6:45, the team immediately went to the dressing room in the new part of the school building, part of which is still under construction, and there de- posited their uniforms. They then walked down tothe gridiron which was two blocks distant. After a brief walk to limber up, the squad repaired to the dressing room and donned their grid iron attire. After last minute instructions by the coach the team went to field to warm up. The game started at eight and was over two hours later. C. M. Meek and Chas. C. LaRue were among those present at the contest. Affronted with the choice of eating in Bryan or waiting until they got home the boys elected the former. A. J. Brown then gave each boy a halve dollar and forty-Eve minutes to spend it. ' During said time Walt Shimman and Leonard Burns met and walked home with a girl. Jack McKenzie bought a box of candy for the girl back home. Wid- lund consumed, oh, so many pineapple sodas, while Julian Czerwiec, Francis Gorski and Frank Hoszwa kept the bus waiting fully ten minutes. Stan Gogol brought some hamburg sandwiches with him on the bus and waited until one minute after twelve to eat them. Nice going Stan! On the trip home every one tried to sleep or listen to the radio. The lazier ones were frequently awakened as someone would shout. OW-w-w, l've got a cramp. Upon arriving at Woodward at about 1:30, the team turned in their suits and wearily left for their homes and beds. Thirty-Four Femmes Enroll In Gym Girls' Leaders Class Thirty-four girls met in the girls' gym last Friday after school to enroll in lead- ers' class. Mrs. Stella Harre, gym instructor, made out the schedule assigning the girls to the classes which they are to su- pervise during the coming year. Be- sides refereeing and teaching during school hours, each girl is asked to stay after school and referee intra-mural games. Enrolled in the class are the following girls: Margaret Mizelle, Lois Roth, Cath- erine Schotzer, Dora Young, Vivian Vin- cent, Ethel Henneman, Dorothy Sum- mers, Helen Grabinski, Esther Bloom, Rosanne Mohr, Virginia Czarnecki, Vir- ginia Zaremba, Betty Jean Clarke, Luc- ille Duszynski, Margaret Ann Schindler, Lila Nopper, Sylvia Kolbe, Virginia Kru- likoski, Ursulin Markowski, Dolores Szumigala, Katherine Del-loy, Emily No- wak, Ethel Johnson, Dolores Wozny, Dorothy Kincaid, Jane Bieniek, Helen Kovicgny, Betty Jane Roth, Anna Br- ona, Aileen Schneider, Delores Koco- sinski, Shirley Keller, and Marilyn Renz. The class will meet every Monday after school to study the rules of the games. Mrs. Stella Harre will teach the class Boys' Gym Classes Largerg Pupils Grouped In Grades Due to the recent increase in the num- ber of students in Woodward this year the enrollment in the gym classes are far greater than last year. Boy's are a- gain divided into threedifferent classes, single A, double A, and triple A, ac- cording to their abilities. The most tal- ented are placed in the triple A, class, and the others fall into their respective places. Triple A meets only once a week, and gives the boys more choice in the type of sport that they would like to take. All gym class are required to take the standardized test given at the end of each semester? Mr. Hanham stated that all boys are required to wear gym uniforms and soft soled shoes. Every boy must take gym unless he is participating in some varsi- ty sport. If a boy has a doctor certificate he is also excused. Freshman classes will start the new school year by participating in football and soccergames. The upperclassmen, will play pass and tap football only.

Bears Trounce Napoleon Under Opponents' Lights The Woodward Polar Bears trounced a scrappy Napoleon outfit to the tune of 30 to 0 last Tuesday under the lights of the opponents' stadium. Bobby Ramer supplied the spark in the Bear backfield, his first touchdown being a sweep around right end for 70 yards. Later in the game Bob scored off tackle from the 25. Swede Widlund got off some very long punts that helped to keep the Na- poleon gridders from threatening more than once throughout the entire game. Other touchdowns were made by Tima from the opponents' 40, Jacobs scoring early in the game from the 25, and Koster who scored late in the game on a beautiful pass from Bill Hughes. Jack McKenzie, one of the main fac- tors in the Bear line, kicked-off through- out the game and did an all around job. Every kick was inside the opponents fifteen yard line. Ten New Runners Join Cross Country Team, Run Next Wed. Coach BillFetters has announced that ten boys have joined the cross countrv squad since last week's story went to press. The new barriers include O. Royce, R. McClaren and H. Cramer, freshmen, P. Hawk, H. Cisek,H. Ziems and B. Levans, sophsg J. Cook, a junior, and D. Krell, a senior.

Miller, Successful Frosh, Joins Veteran Cheerleaders Out of six freshmen candidates, Ted Miller was selected to join the veterans Bill Dunn, Clarence Krohn, and Jack Wilson in leading the school cheers. Elmer Wohler, who is in charge of the cheerleaders, stated that he hoped the student body would give their earn- est support. They will be seen at the Libbey-Wood- ward game in white slacks and blue sweaters on which there will be W's. IN TRA-CITY FIGHT 'K if if 'S , A , . has-fr i- 11. S' Jack Taylor Coach Jack Taylor leads his charges into the first intra city contest of the 1939 season tonight, when they meet the Libbey Cowboys in the Southside stadium. This will be the Bears' Hrst chance of the year to overcome the jinx that has been following Woodward's gridiron team for the past four seasons in which time the north-enders failed to win a city contest. Last Friday the Cowboys defeated Aurora, Illinois 14-7, while Woodward bowed to the large Bryan squad by a 7-6 score. Delving into the record book we find that the last time the Blue and White team was victorious over Libbey was way back in 1932 when Bevan's boys pounded out a 6-0 win. The scores of the games since then were: 1934, W-0, L-Og 1935, W-12, L-13: 1936, W-0, L-40g1937, W-6, L-20g 1938, W-l2,L-26. Aftertheir showing against the heavy Bryan squad, the Taylorites hope to give the Cowboys an interesting even- ing.

Announcing that in this corner at 121 pounds is the new score guessing champion of the week, Robert Schultz! Robert won a free ticket to the Libbey fray, because of his close guess of 6-6 for the Woodward- Bryan game. Score guessing is discontinued this week, for the Fort Wayne encounter will be played on foreign ground. How- ever, it will be continued before the next city game, Woodward versus Waite, so that some lucky person will enter gratis. ABEARS DROP FIRST TILT TO BRYAN 7-6 Both Teams Held Scoreless Until Final Quarter, Hughes Scores Playing in sweltering heat, the Polar Bears of Woodward dropped their initial tilt of the 1939 season to Bryan by a 7-6 score. This was the first game under Jack Taylor, Woodward's new mentor. All the scoring was accomplished in the final quarter with fumbles account- ing for both markers. Bryan's margin of victory was earned on an exceptional trick play, with the ball carrier finally going around end. The Purple and Gold were the first to score when they recovered a Wood- ward fumble on the Bears 42 yard line. After two plays had netted six yards, Brace, speedy Bryan back,toted the pig- skin around his own left end to score standing up. Bobby Hauger went over for the extra. With but a minute to play in the final canto, Jack McKenzie iell on a Bryan bobble on the opponents' four- teen. Three plays had gained six yards when Bill Hughes took a lateral from Horatio Jex and ran the remaining eight yards to score standing up. McKenzie's placement for the extra point was blocked. . Bob Myneder played the entire game at center as McFarland was out with a fractured thumb. Horatio Jex at quar- ter was the only other man to play the entire forty eight minutes. McKenzie did the place kicking and Swede Widlund handled the panting assignments, while Horatio Jex, acting captain and quarterback, did a com- mendable job of signal calling. Standouts on the Woodward squad were Haddad, McKenzie, Koster, Oswalt, and Czerwiec on the line, and Boyd and Tima supplying the offensive thrust with Widlund doing a fine job of backing up the line.

'SWEDE' WIDLUND, JACK MCKENZIE TELL ALL Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Woodward's dynamic fullback, 5'7 and 160 pounds of smashing ball toter, Earn- est, Swede Widlund, played three years on the lightweights ,was elevated to varsity at close of last season, born in our fair metroplis on November 29, 1922, would tell nothing of his female troubles, says girls and sports are his hobby, was sub catcher on the baseball squad last spring, creampuffs are his favorite dish, salesmanship is favorite subject, dislikes Modern Europenn history because of homework, football is most like sport with swimming and baseball right behind, has earned two letters, would like to enter college up- on graduation, not fussy about which institution of higher learning, quote: The team will go out and fight to win every game, unquote, is a likable chap, the proverbial life of the party is sergeant-at-arms of the senior class and treasurer of the glee club, all in all Swede is one swell fellow. Jack McKenzie, a junior, weight, 175 pounds, 5'l0 tall born in our fair city on April 3,1922, is first string on varsity football team, ten minutes after birth he startled his mother by hollering, I wanna pway football Mac has dark hair, green eyes, ithat fo l lo w the femmes down the hallj, and a heart that skips a beat when he sets his orbs on Esther Komasinski, Having played football for two years previous, Mac has garnered two letters, played fresh- man and reserve basketball, also plays softball for Dugans Cafe, hobby is eat- ing, favorite dish is not a dish but baloney sandwiches, this lad likes auto mechanics, and as do all football play- ers, he despises English, Jack believes that our team has great possibilities of going places this year and in years to come, when he graduates, Mac intends to go to work, not to college, incident- ally, he was a member of the printing class that set up the Tattler last year. THE WOODWARD TATTLER woon-Wonos Just to remind everyone especially the girls that there happens to be a foot- ball game tonight between Libbey and Woodward, and that our new coach, Jack Taylor, will be present. Be sure all eyes are on the game, and we hope to see you all there! l K U And speaking of the coach, one of our more versatile Tattlerites, not the editor, of course was so poetically in- clined one day that she wrote this beautiful verse: U C U With eyes so blue and smile divine, Oh please be still this heart of mine, This subject Fm afraid tobroach, For he is just the Woodward Coach.

WEIS IS W-WARD MYSTERY Typing Instructor Refuses To Reveal Truth Of 'E' In Middle Name UI haven't done anything about it yet, asserted Wilson E. Weis, new ty- ping instructor, but one of my pet peeves is insistent gum chewing. Mr. Weis, who couldn't be induced to di- vluge what the middle E in his name stands for, dosen't like trouble, as he usually goes out of his way to avoid it. Born in Elmore, Ohio, about fifteen miles from Toledo, Mr. Weis received his education at Ohio State and Miami Universities, and he is now working for his Masters degree. In his travels, he seems to be partial to the East, having visited all of the eastern states and, this past summer, the New York Worldis Fair. Golf is tops with Mr. Weis. It is both his hobby and favorite sport. He and Mr. Phipps ought to get together. Swing and classical music are all right in their places, commented the instructor when asked his opinion of the two. One of the things that make Mr. Weis amazing is the astonishing fact that, of all the men in the world, he is practically the only one who doesn't care any too much about eating. ' I hate to commit myself, said Mr. Weis, who is a difficult person to pry information from. However, we did find out that he is neither an avid radio or movie fan, but he does like to dance. Clnteresting, isn't it girls?J To prove that he has rhythm in his blood, he plays ifor his own enjoymentj, the piano and trumpet. Before becoming a Woodward in- structor, our brown eyed, shy Q?J prof taught typing and shorthand at Ross- ford High School, Where he also was assistant football and basketball coach. In case you'd like to know, our subject drives a Terraplane, doesn't jitterbug, and, inoidently, there is yet no Mrs. VVilson Weis. Movie Projection Classes In Charge Of Showing Films The fourth and fifth hour movie pro- jection classes, under the supervision of A. R. Bitter, are in charge of showing the noon movies. Since the class contains 16 members, only half of this number are allowed to work in the auditorium at one time. Positions are changed each week. The remaining pupils study the theory of movie production. Included in the class are: Ernest Wid- lund, Ronald Scharer, James Kloster, Bob Mund, Joseph Johnson, Leon Kwiatkowski, Sam Jensen, Claire Dunn, Melvin Pegorsch, Nick Shemas, David Baz, Harry Berbec, Eugene Batesole, Yyfgter Duenki, Henry Boyd, and John u a. WOODWARD GIRL VISITS GERMANY Ruth Lessing Sees War Signs In N azi-Landg Flees In Time Ruth Lessing, junior, returned from a five months trip to Germany just in time, for a short time after she left, the fireworks exploded--war was declared. Accompanied by her mother, brother, and grandparents, Ruth saw many of the things that the German news- papers never were allowed to print. But even though the war situation cut her visit short, the junior visit- ed the cities of Breman, Frankfurt, Gera, and Leipzig. Butter and coffee are rationed off if there are any in the stores, she de- clared Automobiles cost over 800.00, she also stated. The junior saw the signs of mobiliza- tion, such as armored cars, which were later to terrorize the world. A few for- eign newspapers were yet in evidence, announced Ruth. The most impressing thing about Germany that I noticed was not it's military strength, but the cleanliness of the towns and citiesf' said Ruth. In order to leave Germany in time, Ruth left on August 11. One ofthe pass- engers was a Maharajah from Bombay, India. Peri's Present Program To Pep Polar Players, Pupils As the Polar Bears are clashing with the Libbey Cowboys tonight, yester- day's mass meeting, managed by the Periclean Literary Society, was a pre- view of the combat. Mae Van Klingeren was chairman, Betty Gajewski, announcerg Jeanne Mills, Marjorie Scharer and Lily Glaser sangg Laura Meyer gave a parady and Christine Kasprzak toe danced.

In December the olub will present a light opera, probably Pinafore. All club members will participate in the production. Clarence Ball is the adviser of the organization. WOODWARDITES---SEE Yes, we all want to graduate. Even those who don't enjoy school would be indignant, disappointed, and at a loss if the privilege of graduation from a cred- ited high school were taken t'rom you. Yet Toledo schools are much nearer to that crisis than they have ever been be- fore. To educate 43,765 pupilsf 13,890 in high schools, 29,875 in elementaryl during 1939, 61 school buildi' gs and 1430 teach- ers were required. Aside from the in- structors, 509 persons were employed in the maintenance division of the Toledo school system. In Toledo, it costs 35107.39 per year for each student to receive a high schooled- ucation. In comparison with 64 other large U. S. cities fpopulation over 100, 0001 this is 5513.48 below the average. Our operating cost is likewise 35600,000 below average. But even with below average oper- ating cost, the Toledo schools cannot stay in session unless more funds are THAT YOU GRADUATE accumulated for running expenses. The two mill appropriation with which the schools have been carrying on is not sufficient for covering the mounting debts and expenses. For this reason, an additional 2 mill revenue has been pro- posed. Although tax payers would be required to pay a few dollars more in taxes yearly, they will still be getting good educations for their children very cheaply. The people who have power to pass this levy are your mothers and fathers ---parents of school students. It is their duty to go to the polls in November and cast their ballots in favor of the levy. First, however,we are counting on the Woodward students to see that their parents are all registered voters. A re- cent survey showed that only a third of the parents of school children will be privileged to vote unless more register before October ninth. So do your part: We want our diplo- ma in June, 1940. Will you help us? SIX CLUBS TO HELP TORMENT ROOKIES Fun, Frolic, Food Are Used To Induct New Pledges Into Various Cslubs The school is in the throes of in- itiation, with six clubs inducting their new members within the next two weeks. Wilson Park shelterhouse will bc the scene of the Zctalethean initiation Friday afternoon, September 22. The committee in charge are: Marilyn Renz, chairman, plus Helen Wendel, Rita Tertel, Virginia Krulikowski and Delores Kokocinski. Lois Schwellinger, president of the German Club, announced that their in- itiation is to be held in room 118, on Monday, September 25, at 2:30. Bon- nie Strueble is in charge. The following day, September 26, at 2:30, the Spanish Club will hold its induction in room 118, with Anna Hyder handling the affair. Polish Club pledges will be lor- mented, then fed, at a combined in- itiation and roast at Ottawa Park on Tuesday, September 26. Florence Iwinski and .Chester Zakrzewski, chairman and co-chairman respective- ly, will be aided by Virginia Foltvn- ski, Emily Niedzwiecki, Cecelia Szy- manski. and Ted Osial. On September 28, twenty-five Peri- clean pledges will be formally an- cepted into the Society. Cleo Clark, chairman of the affair, will be aided bv her colleagues Jeanne Mills, Rachel Clark, Katherine Kapanicus. and Betty Gajewski. This activity will take place in room 141, at 2:30. Circumstances permitting, the Fast-es club will also holfl its initia- tion on October 21. Ellen Gribben and her committee, Dorn Young, Doris Eckhert, and Virginia Lobet, will be in charge that evening at the Wilson Park shelterhouse. New members to Le Cercle Francais will bo pledged after the first grade cards have been issued. VOX-POP How About It? Crumbling from the inside has caused the fall of many nation, enterprise, etc. This same crumbling process is working in Woodward and should be brought to the surface. The officers of the different classes are chosing their friends, many of whom are far below the standard, to serve as chairmen and as members of commit- tees that require intellegent reliable people to carry out the duties. Unless something is done, more than likely many of Woodward's social events will be grand flops.---Arthur Bancroft. Questionable Conduct? Dear Editor, Now that the football season has begun, the behavior of high school students comes to the eye of the public. In previous years, many things have taken place that are little less than acts of barbarism. Drinking at the game, booing the opposing team, and destruction of property are a few. As a pupil of Woodward, I want to be proud to say so. I certainly hope the game tonight will be a success for both the teams--and for the Woodward students. Mary Latus. Miss Brown Attends Dinner Miss Catherine Brown, history in- structor, attended the dinner opening the Toledo Zoological Society member- ship campaign for 1939. This year the drive has a goal of 3,000 members. Definite plans have not yet been stated. ' Hvme WOODWARD TATTLER Fight Room Constantly, Consistently Constructivei' Fort Teas - ......,.i.

After seeing the sights ofthe town, the group will be dismissed until time to play in the square in the heart of Fort Wayne. Again boarding the bus, the fifty- six band members will be driven to the stadium forthe game, at the con- clusion of which they will return to the restaurant for a hearty dinner. This trip for the band was made possible by the student support, and the profit netted was 35107.72 after the cost of the movie had bee 1 deducted. The movie was brought to Woodward under the auspices of the Woodward Engineering Society. Art Classes Make Posters Boosting Coming Tax Levy Miss June Anderson's first hour ad vanced art class and also her sophmore classes are making posters boosting the tax levy. Pencil sketcnings, as a preparation for etchings and water colorings, have been stopped until the posters are fin- ished. Girlsin advancedclasses are design- ing costumes by reversals, and the be- ginners are studing the strong and graceful lines. Taking Of Senior Pictures To End On Oct. 10th Or 15th Seniors are urged to make appoint- ments to have their pictures taken for the Saga. Raymond Sheline, Saga adviser and boys' dean, wants them all taken by October tenth or fifteenth. At the time of the setting one dollar must be paid. Girls should make arrangements with Helen Scheidler and boys with Roy Winn. Delegates To Youth Council Elect New Team Ofiicers By a unanimous vote, John R. Weav- er was reelected chairman pro tem of the Family Life Education Youth Coun- cil at the regular September meeting last Monday night. Mr. Weaver opened the meeting by introducing Mrs. Carlton K. Matson, recently appointed coordinator of the Council. Mrs. Matson explained the purpose ofthe council, and the progress that has already been made. She also brought out the honor given to Toledo by being chosen as the typical indus- trial center by the United States gov- ernmnet. The Council, which is work- ing in cooperation with a similar adult council, hopes to put on during a six year period of experimentation and demonstration, a community planned program for Education in Home and Family Living. The other three experi- mental centers are Wichita, Kansas, Box Elder County, Utah, and Obion County, Tennessee. A general election of officers and committeemen closed the meeting, which was held at the Y. M. C. A. Jean Douglas and Leroy Hansen attended as Woodward representatives. P. T. A.

Joy Morhsrdt, in charge of faculty memberships, announced that every teaher had joined at the end of first hour Thursday. A cordial invitation is extended to every Woodward parent, member or non-member, to attend the next gener- al meeting on October 18. New Woodward Seng Over the Field, a rousing Woodward football song written to the tune of Over the Sea is the latest work of our budding song writers Dorothea Noble, freshman, and Bette Davis, sophomore. Miss Warner's seventh hour English class plans to introduce the song at a mass meeting in the near future. Accumulative File Made An accumulative record of infor- mation concerning the attendance, grades, and personal information of every freshman has been compiled by Mrs. Betty Brinkerhuff. This file, which is new in Woodward, is areport of the students' progress since entering kindergarten. ALUMNI ASS'N PLANS SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS The Woodward Engineering Society Alumni Association at a cabinet meet- ing decided to create two scholarship funds to be given to the two most worthy members of the Woodward Engineering Society upon their grad- uation. These scholarship funds of 35125 to 3150 will include full fees and all book expenses. The money for the funds will ,be raised by holding different social events, the first of which will be a dance to be held at the Toledo Club on Thanksgiving Day. The ofhcers ofthe W.E.S.A.A. include ex-graduates of Woodward, Arthur Schrader, president, class of '22, Nor- man Ramler, first vice-president, class of '24, Walter Snyder, second vice- president, class of '25, Edwin Laas, treasurer, class of '25, Dudley William West, secretary, class of '25, and William F.

Practice Fire Drill Works Well, Students Too Noisy The drill worked fine. Every stair- way was emptied at practically the same time, stated C.C. LaRue, commenting on the practice fire drill which took place on Monday morning, first hour. Students should be quieter during a fire drill so that they will be able to hear any orders given by teachers. This was just a practice drill as there was no member of the fire department here to give an official clocking. The time by Mr. LaRue's watch was about one minute and fifty seconds. Hi-Y Elects New Adviser The Senior Hi-Y has elected a new adviser, Edward Jankowski, to replace Bill Fetters, who was unable to attend meetings at the Y.M.C.A. Mr. Jankow- ski is Hugh Montgomery's assistant in the print shop. The club is sponsoring an after- school dance tonight in the girls' gym from three to five p. m. The committee in charge of preparations includes Gerald Tussing, John Sackman, Clar- ence Geordt, and Bob Gerwin. Edward J ankowski and Jack Taylor will chaper- on the affair. Admission price will be five cents. Miss Jane Meyers Gym Aid Miss Jane Meyers, part-time teacher, will aid gym instructors, Miss Cather- ine McClure and Mrs. Stella Harre with the freshmen girls on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week during the com- ing year. Miss Meyers, who acquired her education at the University of To- ledo, also teaches at DeVilbiss on , Wednesdays. THE WOODWARD TATTLER EDITOR'S HUDDLE g Dear Juniors: HE SERIOUS BUSINESS of electing junior class officers is once more upon us. Every year a number of students take out petitions for those of their classmates who are particularly worthy students or just friends. Apart from making the election more democratic, isn't it true that the greater the number of peti- tions circulated, the better chance the class has of electing the most capable juniors in Woodward? Wouldn't it be fine if you juniors could forget that you promised to vote for Joe and Sally because they are your very best friends? The way to make your class the most successful junior class in his- tory is to put in office the students who are most ambitious, intelligent, and capable of being leaders. Will your class be a grand success? Help And Have Fun! HEKEL SHUFFLE, the all club dance, will be held on October 11. This is the BIG dance of the year, in which all clubs should take an active interest. As in previous years, the proceeds from this affair will be divided among the various school organizations in propostion to the amount of tick- ets sold by the group. In a few days, Floyd Lords will ask for clubs to take charge of various conces- sions. If any dance can be a whole-hearted success this can! Let's begin now to sell tickets and plan forcon- cessions! For not only will you have a wonderful time, but you will help your own olub. Your Loyalty Appreciated LTHOUGH WOODWARD went down in de- feat at the hands of Libbey, this was only the start of the intra-city race. There a.re four more city games left on the schedule.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER LIBBEY DEFEATS WOODWARD 19-Og BEARS TO TACKLE FORT WAYNE JAMES TIMA BILL HUGHES HURT TONIGHTg RETAIN EDGE ON WINS J- Tima In H0SPital3 B1'0k9U'Di UWhether Bears Will Eat Fort C01lH1'b0ne: Hughes' Woodward L i g h t w e i g h t s Swamp Napoleong Wayne Or Vice Versa Nofgjfdy Brent, Zychowicz, McCaughtry, IS Q11eSti0n Woodward's scrappy and outweighed Rosco Potts Score W grid squad suffered their second de- feat.in as many games at the hands of Libbey's defending champions 19--0 last Friday night in the Libbey stadium. Dick Koster was acting captain. Myneder kicked off to the Cowboys' 35 and six plays later Georgia plunged over from the one for first score. He then converted. This was all the scoring in the first half, with the teams playing fairly even ball with Swede Widlund and Libbey's punter engaging in a kicking duel. In the third canto, Esmond took one of Swede's punts on his own 35 and eluded all would be tacklers, running 65 yards to tally. The attempted con- version was wide. With Woodward trying desperately to get their offensive moving, Tima completed a long aerial to Ramer on the Cowboy's 35. On the succeeding play another Tima pass was inter- cepted by Dentel on the 30 who promptly proceeded to gallop seventy yards for the final six points. Gogol blocked the placement. The Bears had a remarkably strong defense, considering their respective weights, and but for the two long runs, they stopped Libbey dead. In statistics the South enders held a big edge except for passes where the Bears outgained them by eleven yards. Jimmy Tima suffered the first major casualty of the current season when he was removed in the final stanza with a fractured collarbone. Bill Hughes left the game with a bloody nose. We're fairly proud of the showing the team made last Friday and also of the fact that they scrapped all through the game. We're not satisfied with the team by quite a margin, but they improved one-hundred percent over their play at Bryan. Woodward has a good team to watch and they won a lot of friends by the type of play they used last week, We're still looking for ball carriers, punters and passers. The student body turned out in fine shape and we appreciate the way the majority supported us. This comment was made by Coach Jack Taylor after the Libbey game.

On the first play of the game Bob Brent circled right end, running behind excellent interference, and scored from the 50 yard marker. A fumble on the three prevented further scoring in this period. As the second quarter got under way, Mitchel Sahadi recovered a Napoleon fumble on the 25. On the next play John Potts scored on a reverse. Alvin Samlak intercepted a pass on the 45 from which Clarron fFireboxJ Frvmire ran the ball to within two yards of the goal, setting the stage for a plunge with Ralph Zychowicz toting the pig- skin and scoring amid a mass of play- ers and the referee. Potts kicked the extra point and the score stood 19-0 as the half ended. Early in the third frame, Potts' touch- down was nullified by an offside penalty The first score of the quarter was John Rosco's plunge from the 8 yard line. William McCaughtry was in the game for one minute of the third period, this being long enough for QOne Playj Mc- Caughtry to break away for 35 yards and set the score at 310 as the third frame ended. The last quarter was quite a defen- sive battle with our linemen breaking through and throwing the ball toters for continuous losses as they had been doing throughout the entire game. With three' minutes to play, Johnny Maurice carried the ball over from the 15 and Leo Dressel passed to Gene Hollis for the extra point. Fulfilling the Napoleon coaches' re- quest, Mr.Lankenau used freshmen and sophomores most of the game. Frankowski from Woodward received a split lip in the first quarter anda Napoleon gridder received a fractured rib. Both were removed from the game. Red And Blue.Uniforms Give Way To Black-White Colors The Polar Bears have discarded the red and blue outfits of last year and have taken up a black and white color scheme. The newuniforms are all black with white numerals and headgears. The players and their numbers are as follows: 5 Hoszwa 36 J ex 21 B.

Saturday night will find another city game being staged under the lights at Page Stadium and it looks as if the De- Vilbiss eleven will be too strong for Scott's Bulldogs. In a game that should prove to be a very close one, the Woodward Polar Bearswill travel to Ft.Wayne, Indiana, tomorrow afternoon and after a very hard battle, the Bears will probably prove their superiority over the South High outfit. Traveling to Sandusky to- night, we find the Waite Indians being entertained by the very strong Sandusky Blue Streaks. After the dust clears, Waite should be on top by a small margin. Swimming, Bowling Classes Contain Forty-Six Femmes Approxmately 46 girls have taken advantage of the swimming and bowl' ing classes offered this year for those girls who have last hour study.

The Bears, who have been meeting the Hoosier club since 1934, hold the edge on victories winning in '34, '37, and '38, tying in '35, and losing in '36. Heretofore the Indiana team has been the Woodward opener. The opposing team is composed of nine seniors and two sophomores, all but two of whom were on last year's squad. Fort Waynes' line carries an average of 168 pounds while the backs tote 169. The Taylorites have been quite unsuc- cessful in their first two contests losing to Bryan and Libbey by scores of 7-6 and 19-0.The team improved greatly in the last two weeks ,contrary to the results given by the results.

Instructor Jokes That She Is As Green As A Frosh This is my first year at Woodward and I'm as green as the freshmenj' revealed our new addition to the faculty, Miss Dorothy Bishop. I even got lost in the halls the other day. Coming to us from Vocational High school for girls, Miss Bishop is teach- ing freshman English classes. She says that she enjoys teaching freshmen. Last year her classes were composed of seniors and they seemed too old for her. I like camping, gardening, and swimming. but at present, she said, my special concerns are getting acquainted with my one hundred seventy five students and the faculty members. South Dakota is her birthplace and at the ripe old age of six weeks she moved to Ann Arbor,Miohigan. She has resided in Toledo for ten years. Before she began her teaching career, she at- tended both Wellesley College and the University of Michigan. When questioned as to how she likes Woodward, Miss Bishop declared, I like it. I'm going to have lots of fun here. Journalism Groups Will Plan Radio Scripts For Students The journalism teachers of Toledo de' cided at a combined roast and meeting held Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Marie Ersig, Tattler adviser, that they, with their journalism groups, would try to work out radio scripts based on news- paper articles. This information will be obtained from the Toledo Blade files. They have planned to have each school give a Hfteen minute program of two seven minute sketches or three four minute sketches based on news- paper items. The purpose of these programs is to give to each journalism student the opportunity to take part in such imagi- native dialogues. W-Ward Red Cross To Begin Driveg Pupil Average 2 Cents Mrs. Mary O'Brien, adviser of the Woodward chapter ofthe Red Cross As- sociation, has hopes of making this year's drive the largest in recent years. Contributions will be collected in first hour classes. Mrs. O'Brien would like to have a two cent average from each stu- dent of this yearis large enrollment. The annual Red Cross convention was held in Washington,D.C., last year, and will probably be held in a southern city this year. Mrs. O'Brien would like to send a delegate from Woodward to the convention sometime in December. Election of officers and addition of new members is scheduled to take place during this week. Floyd Lords Shekel Shuflie, Woodward's only all club dance, will be presented in the Woodward ballroom Wednesday, Oc- tober 11, from eight to eleven p. m., with Jimmy Martinis Collegians play- ing. The profit from the dance will be used to take club pictures for the Saga. Fred Anderson, original designer and printer of the tickets, stated that 1,000 of them will soon be on sale at 25 cents each. The various committees consist of Vivian Vincent, president ofthe Senior Friendship Club, in charge of ticket distributiong Louise Bokan, president of the Art Klan, heads the decorating stafig and Dorothy Urbanowski, presi- dent of the French Club, has charge of publicity. If many tickets are sold, dancing may also take place in the boys' gym which will be wired for sound. Floyd Lords, general chairman of the dance, hopes that this year's profits will exceed the 110.70 netted last year. Bits About 'Em The Polish Literary Society held its initiation in room 342 Tuesday after school. Forty-four new members were taken into this club. The Senior Hi-Y selected its club sweater for the coming year, at its meet- ing at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night. Sweaters will be gray trimmed with blue. They may be ordered in the sports' department of the B. R. Baker store. One dollar down payment is required. To increase their membership, the Fasces Club has decided to send bids to all Hrst year Latin students. Members met in room 142 Tuesday after school and voted to meet semi-monthly rather than once a month. Laboratory Specimens Given To Mrs. O'Brien For Studying Mrs. O'brien has recieved several specimens for laboratory use from her biology classes this year. In her seventh hour class. Bob Domito forfeited his pet snake, Oscar, for the sake of biol- ogy. incidentally, did you see Bob's eyes Water when Mrs. O'brien asked if she could preserve it. Other pupils who contribute speci- mens are: Audyne Burtscher, Eleanor Nowak, leavesg Ernest Hysell, Betty Puls, leaves with gallsg Nancy Shoe- craft, butterfly, and Ruth Sutkaitis, eaves and insects. PARTY OF MOTHERS ENTHUSED OVER CAFETERIA Woodward's cafeteria gained two new enthusiasts in Mrs. Harry Miller and Mrs. Charles Hartwick, the second of the parties of mothers invited by Mrs. Cecil Ashbrooke to inspect the students' lunch room. We ate everything that we thought the pupils would find fault with, such as potatoes, hash, carrots, and the fif- teen cent lunch, but those dishes were as delicious as could be. If a pupil can't 'find anything good to eat, I feel sorry for himf' emphatically stated Mrs. Miller. After comparing the cafeteria's quali- ty and price of foods with the down- town cafeterias, Mrs. Hartwick won- dered why more students didnft patro- nize Woodward's lunchroom. She ex- plained that even if you brought your meal from home, the price would re- get piping hot dishes. Because we serve dinners at church, we know how -slow service can be, but even when the cafeteria help was short, the Woodwardites were served with amazing efiiciency, the mothers de- clared. The representatives from the Chase school district said that the only way that they could tell the teachers apart from the students was by they ages. The conduct was so good. The fact that not a single cigarette was seen impressed us quite a bit, replied the two mothers. Keeping the pupils in at lunch hour is another good thing, for they get just as much exer- cise in walking the hall. In departing, the two women vowed that if ever mothers couldn't come as appointed, they would be glad to main the same, and in school you could , substitute.

LaRue Speaks To Boys In Meeting, Says 10 Are Bad During a meeting of the Woodward boys in the auditorium last Monday, principal LaRue spoke on smoking and actions around the school. It is not necessary to smoke in the lavatories or within one block of the building, and this saving of seats at assembly, movies or mass meetings is kindergarten stuff, asserted C. C. LaRue. In order that we may run an institu- tion of this size, we must depend large- ly on the nature of our young men. I know that 1190 out of 1200 are good manly students but I don't know who the ten bad eggs are, our principal also stated. Papa LaRue said, 'AI am proud of Woodward High School and its tra- ditions and graduates, many of which have succeeded in becoming political factors in our city. Amid a silent group the principal closed his speech by telling of the noon movies to be shown in order to keep the halls orderly during lunch hour.

But this contest differed from others in the re- spect that every contestant will reap profit. The small sum of money contributed by your parents will be put to immediate use, and you, students of Woodward, will continue throughout the school year to reiiect the benefits secured by Woodward Parent-Teacher Association. Therefore, although only one home room is able to take the Marion trip, each quarter will be used to serve every student. ...lil-. A Thought EXT THURSDAY, we will rejoice, not because it is a free school day, but because it is Columbus Day. He did what few people do today--- that is, start upon an unknown path on the strength of his own convictions. His deed should inspire all of us! . 1l.....i... Appreciation Expressed HANKS for the memories! Every band member will keep the rememberance of that glorious trip to Fort Wayne forever. All that was made possible by you, the students of Woodward High School, by patronizing the movie given for that purpose. So, again we wish to express our sincerest ap- preciation. Red Cross Roll Call N ASSESSMENT of two cents per student is being asked by the Woodward chapter of the Red Cross. If this annual Red Cross drive is successful, approximatey 2500 students will be members of the Junior Red Cross Association. The program for this year is to include the sending of a delegate to Washington this Decemder to take part in a national convention there. This national organization has not only helped in war times, but also during peace. Woodward, through the Red Cross, has helped to make many people happy both here in Woodward and in other parts of our country. Every student should help this organization in reaching its aims by donating his share. The more one can contribute, the better chance we have of making Woodward a hundred per cent in Red Cross memberships. gg One of the most distressing tasks ff that face a High School Administrator g ' ' is to keep pupils in their classes. This f S 1 is not at all a problem of attendance. l It is one of gettingpupils to understand lx 'uv' the values of good old fashioned hard ' work. They are perfectly willing to at- ' tend class so long as no great mental eiort is involved, but let the subject stilfen up a little or the teacher impose some extra work and down to the office swoop whole droves of overworked individuals, some with tears in their eyes, begging to be removed from some awful sub- ject. It takes a lot of time to try to convince these people that they cannot grow mentally unless diffi- cult lessons are mastered, and that one to two hours of study per night for a high school student should be the rule and not the exception. If we could just get these boys and girls to under- standthe value of conquering difficulties instead of giving up at the first sign of a struggle how much better off they would be. Remember it is not altogether the subject matter that is valuable, it is also the right habits of work that we form in attacking these same subjects. Let's be conquerors instead of quitters. f i Y I ,Q ,F GGX .........l.....m..

Facts For Fans Now that the football season has begun, it is our duty to explain the game to our new fans. Follow- ing are a few instructive comments compiled by our expert, I. B. Vague: The idea of the game is to get the ball over a line. Not a clothesline. It is often necessary for a player to run, which is very interesting to watch. Watching football games is afavorite pastime of many high school students. However many prefer to stay home and read, comic books for instance. Donald Duck is a favorite among cartoons. Young people are inspired to draw by these clev- er comic strips. There are now many opportunites for artistically inclined people. Of course, those more interested in mathematics may wish to enter the engineering line. Some may even become high school teachers. Such teachers usually find it difficult to get satis factory results when the students' minds are on football. Football is a popular sport both for spectators and players. THE WOODWARD TATTLER POLAR BEARS TIE WITH FORT WAYNE Boyd's Ground Gaining And Widlund's Punting Very Good Woodward again failed to enter the win column last Saturday, although the game played at Fort Wayne South ended in a scoreless tie. Both teams threatened repeatedly but neither squad had the necessary spark to enter pay dirt. The first quarter show- ed little offense with the two punters engaging in a kicking duel. Early in the second canto the Bears drove to the opponents two yard line but lost the ball on downs. After Fort Wayne's punt had been returned to the 32, two Boyd to Koster passes advanced the ball to the 12 where a fumbled lat- eral stopped the Bears drive. Both schools gained 67 yards from scrimmage at the half way mark. The Taylorites again received to open the second half and after three plays had netted about eight yards. Sohultp of Ft. Wayne blocked and recovered Widlund's punt on the Woodward 35. A sustained march by the South siders was stopped on the 18 when Myneder intercepted a pass. This was the fur- thest that Ft Wayne penetrated into Bear territory. Hank Boyd made the longest single gallop of the game when he toted the ball from his own 17 to the oppositions 39 on an off tackle play. Boyd was the outstanding ground gainer with Widlund's punting keeping the South Side squad deep in their own end of the gridiron. The Bears now have a record of no wins, two losses, and one tie. W-Ward Cubs Defeat Scott 12-03 Play In Muck And Rain Woodward's Cubs swamped the Scott puppies 12-0 at the game played on Woodward's Held amid a mass of mud and water puddles. Ruling the Bears touchdown at the end of the Hrst half void, the officials decided that the ball was not passed before the gun ending the half. This left the first half scoreless. During the middle of the third quar- ter, Morris circled his own left end for 25 yards and pay dirt. Shortly after, Potts went through left tackle for another touchdown. The try for the extra point was barely missed. Woodward's defensive line playing was outstanding but the offensive could stand a lot of improvement. Scott made one first down during the game. Next Friday the Cubs will journey to Libbey to play the young Cowboys. G.A.L. Names Members For Program, Social Committees Last Tuesday at a meeting of the Girls Athletic League the following members of the program and social committees were announced. Serving on the program committee are Delores Kokocinski, Chairmang Marjorie Hart- wig, Ethel Johnson, and Delores Wozny. Dorothy Kincaid as chairman of the social committee will be assisted by Allaen Schneider, Lois Roth, Helen Kociezny, and Emily Nowak. Instead of participating in the fall in- tra-mural sport of soccer and keeping a health card for the season, the mem- bers of the club will organize play days for once or twice a week. Regular intra-mural sports will begin with the volleyball season in November. Any girl interested in becoming a member of the G.A. L. may join by attending the next meeting. Bench Coats Purchased Thirty-five new bench coats were re- cently purchased for the Woodward grid squad. These new coats, which are black, were bought by the Athletic Associ- ation and will be used at Fort Wayne for the first time. WOODWARD TO TACKLE WAITE INTRA-MURAL RACE TONIGHT ON FOREIGN GROUND STARTS THIS WEEK Jack McKenzie Lost To Bears Due To Injured Ankleg ' Boyd Should Be Main Factor In Backfield The Woodward Bears will attempt once again to break into the win col- umn when they encounter the Waite Indians in the latters, stadium tonight. Despite the loss of another fine back, Jack McKen7ie, who will be unable to play for some time because of an ankle fracture, the Bears will enter the en- counter in fine shape. Again the Blue and White gridders' main problem will be the opponents' heavier line. Henry Boyd should be a main factor in the Bear backfield after turning in some brilliant play ing in the former Woodward clashes. Thus for this year the Bears have lost two hard-fought battles and rom- ped through to a scoreless tie in their last three games. The East-siders have won their last three encounters by im- pressive scores with Bob Hecklinger doing some fine offensive and defensive playing. During previcus years, the Indians have emerged on top nine out of ten times With the Blue and White blank- ing them in 1930 by a score of 12-0. In 1932 Waite was the only team to score Raglan the Bears, the game turning out In the Woodward lineup are Jex at quarter back, Ramer at right half, Wid- lund at full back, Henry Boyd at left half. The line is made up of Oswald at right end, McFarland right tackle, right guard Kaczorowski, center Meyneder, Czerwiecz at left guard, Haddad at left tackle, and Koster left end.

The Bears were defeated 33-26. Other Bears to enter the scoring column were Eugene Wietrzykowski, Don Krell, and Henry Jaschke, who plaoed seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. The veterans of last year held up O. K., but the new harriers failed to follow the fine pace set by the win- ners, quotes Bill Fetters, coach of Woodward's defending c h a m p i o n squad. DeVilbiss outclassed Scott, 32-24 in a meet following the Bear--Cowboy run.

The above program has been offered to the sophomores, juniors and seniors while the freshmen play soccer and schlag ball the first semester. Their classes, in which there are 417 students, are held on Tuesdays and Thursday of each week. Bears Lose Valuable Player, McKenzie Fractures Ankle Woodward lost a valuable player last week when Jack McKenzie suffered a fractured ankle during a scrimmage. Jack is a junior and was playing his second year on the varsity. He was re- cently shifted froim guard to the po- sition of blocking back and great things were expected of him in that place. Although he will be back next year, the school hates to see him out of action. Tough luck Jack!

The angle descends from heaven, wings and all, to be his bride. , GRANTS INTERVIEW Miss Dorothy Pasch Travels In Europe And U. S. A.g Likes Music Woodward is just grand, much better than l had even hoped, enthusi- astically exclaimed Miss Dorothy Pasch, new freshman English instruc- tor. Miss Pasch, who was born in Toledo, formerly taught at Stickney. She at- tended Ohio State University and ob- tained her B.A. from that college. Her M.A. was earned at Northwestern Uni- versity. I like a smattering of both types of music, said Miss Pasch when asked her opinion of classical and popular songs. Miss Pasch also likes golf, diving, desserts, Jack Benny, Walter O'Keefe, and traveling. In accord with the latter. Miss Pasch has covered the United States and journeyed abroad in 1932. We spent a great deal of our time in Germany, she stated. Hitler was just coming into power at that time. Miss Pasch has a sister teaching at DeVilbiss who is the dean of girls there. 1.iT ..

Merriment, Singing Lighten Journeyg Highspot Is Cafe Dinner Before embarking on the three hour journey to Fort Wayne, the football players and members of the band ad- journed to the front of the school to have their pictures taken in a drizzly rain. After an uneventful departure, the buses traveled steadily until they reached Florida, Ohio, where the occu- pants of bus two and the football play- ers purchased candy and gum. Entertainment was in vogue in bus one with Chester Zack and Bill Stien playing the accordion and trumpet, respectively. One lonely de-ck of cards made the rounds in bus two, but with the girls in the back of the bus singing songs and telling jokes, the time passed pleasantly enough. Arriving in Fort Wayn at 11:35, the group scattered about the city in an effort to find a place to eat. Having eaten, they played severel selections and the school song in front of the court house, then the band was driven to the field via a roundabout route so that the menbers could see the sights. The students who traveled in buses one and two ate dinner in style after the scoreless game, at Miller's Cafe, where a private dining room had been engaged. Jars of white vinegar at each table fas- cinated the occupants. Bill Stein and Joe Johnson endeavored to drink some of it in a glass of water, but without success. Just before leaving, immedately after dinner, W. F. Rohr announced that he had obtained permission from Defi- ance's Chief of Police to have the band play on the courthouse square in Defi- ance, Ohio. Once there, the band ren- dered several marches. Favorable com- ments were heard from the bystanders. Although most students in the girls' bus were hoarse from cheering and playing their instruments, they sang many old favorites, led by Jim Sutphen, who changed buses for the return trip. In the boys' bus those who tried to sleep were rudely awakened by a hotfoot. Only Bob Knoke, sports editor, did not seem to mind it. He slept peacefully through four 171 attempts. At 9:50 p. m., the buses drew up at the sohool and everyone was dimissed to do as he pleased. Some kids went home, but most of them visited a favor- ite haunt, Kewpee's. Pupils Applying For Working Permits To Fill Requirements The following requirements have been listed for pupils who wish to apply for working permits.

Distribution of food will be cared for by Mrs. O'Brien with the clothing distribution handled by Miss Grace Cronk. The Tattler representative in each home room will be in charge of collecting the materials and getting them to the right teachers. Personal appeals which were made in all home rooms this morning were given by pupils from Mrs. Matheny's oral expression class and Miss Dorothy Kellogg's radio production students.

When I was your age I wish I could have had this break, stated Mrs. Frances Gribbon, representative of the Webster school district upon her visit to Woodward's cafeteria. Mrs. Gribbon declared that the food was delicious and the service just fine. 'LI don't see how they can serve the food for the prices they charge, she mentioned. Mrs. Cecile Ashbrook's guest also said that she didn't know Woodward had such a beautiful cafeteria. I thought the conduct of the stu- dents couldn't be better. I went to school with most of the cafeteria attendants and I was glad to meet someone I knew, Mrs. Gribbon con- cluded. 34 STUDENTS WILL TAKE MARION TRIP P. T. A.

Frank Oram Lectures About Germany At Jurnalism Meet Representatives from eight Toledo High schools were entertained by Frank Oram, recently returned from Europe, who spoke at the Journalism Confer- ence held atDeVilbiss, last Wednesday. Mr. Oram, who was a student at a German university near the Siegfried line, has a collection of foreign news- papers which he has examined for propaganda. German papers are purely political, and like the radio and movies, strictly censured. British and French papers are more frivolous and emphasize scan- dal. The English news is pretty well hidden by advertisements which appear on the front page, as well as through- out the rest of the paper. Mr. Oram al- so commented on Hungarian, Italian, and Czechoslovakian newspapers, and pointed out propoganda. Dorothy Dyer, Patty Hammontree, Kathryn Seeman, Bill Rogers, Jean Douglas, Jane Searles, Marilyn Scho- onmaker, Beatrice Staby, Emma Penn- ington, Evelyn Sfaeloo, Sam Laderman and Phyllis Hendrickson attended from Woodward.

Because, even to the student who cares little or nothing about grades, unsatisfactory is a word with a world of meaning. In the business world, it means the difference between a job and an empty stomach. In school, human nature sees to it that no student can receive casually an unsat, because every one, conciously or otherwise, wants what he does to be satisfactory to everyone. Only then can he be satisGed with himself. If you were one of those too-many who was given an uneat, resolve now that it won't happen again. Remember that unsats, are very unneces- sary, and that if you put forth an effort--- do the best you can---no teacher will issue one with your name adorning it. Let's Have Your Opinion HOULD PUPILS have to stay out of school be- cause of insufficient clothing or food? Of course not! But this condition is going on in Woodward regardless of the help being done by Miss Grace Cronk's welfare organziation and the baskets donated by the various clubs during the holidays. There has been a suggestion that two days out of the school week should be selected as welfare days. There will be an announcement on what thing the student should bring for that one particular welfare day. One day will be designated as potatoe day on which each pupil who is able should bring a few potatoes. There will probably be shirt day s, canned food days, and others. What does the student body think of this plan? Do you think this a good idea to support? Fire Prevention Week GAIN, as in former years, Toledo joins the nation in an attempt to reduce Gres by holding its annual Fire Prevention Week. Thousands of lives are lost yearly by Gre, and last year the number of Gres increased forty per cent in this country. In Toledo, 369,784.73 was the total damage of Gres during the year 1938. One-third of all Gre alarms were false alarms. Because of the large cost of sending each truck out, the Fire Pre- vention Bureau has asked the city to punish prank- sters severely when caught pulling an alarm box for Gres. Since everyone can see what expenses, loss of lives, and danger there is in Gres, it is his duty to try to prevent Gres by following the simple Gre pre- vention rules set by our city. Olumpic Limps In case you wondered why the laurel wreaths on the fair brows of various students, they are the result of victories won in annual Woodward O-lump-ics. Following are the contest results.

In this book, S.O.S. to the Rescue, the whole story of the miracle and blessing of the wireless is told for the Grst time from the viewpoint of the wireless operators by one of their craft. We see the fascinat- ing development of this great art as the men of the key, the brass poundersf' have practicedit. The author has written sea history in terms of dots and dashes, translated for us on a vast canvas as wide as the oceans, and concerned with the safest and greatest craft ever sent to sea by man. The losses of lives have been counted in thousands, but behind this is the reassuring fact that many hundreds of thousands have been saved from peril on the sea, because of the use of wireless and be- cause of the unfailing devotion of the operators whose stories make this book an evidence that hero- ism and chivalry have not departed from us with the advent of chivalry. 'iOur G Men ---Irving Crump and John W. Newton. Do you know that it is nearly always a college graduate who is eligible to become a G-Man?

Read the inside stories of the Ursche1 Kidnapp- ing, the Army Arson Plot, the Machine-gun Woman, Baby Face Nelson, Dillinger, and the sinking of the Rose Murphy. Even more thrilling than the actual capture of these desperados is the inGnite care and brain work which lie behind the arrest.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER WOODWARD SQUAD BOWS TO WAITE Bears Handed Third Defeat By Strong Waitersg Jacobs Hurt Woodward's grid squad suffered their third defeat in four starts, 28-0, at the hands of a powerful Waite eleven in the latter's stadium last Friday night. The east-siders kicked off to open the contest, recovered a Bear fumble early in the game and then proceeded to score three times in rapid succession. At the end of the first quarter the score was 21-O. A Hecklinger to Beach aerial was re- sponsible for the first score, with runs of 50 and 52 yards by Hecklinger and Sharkoff, respectively, accounting for the other two in the opening canto. The Tayloerites then held the second stringers pretty well until the final stan za when Sharkoff scored again. Wolf and Marazon were responsible for the extra points, the former booted the Erst and the latter converted the other three times. Although completely outclassed, the Bears fought every minute of the game. George Jacobs hurt his ailing ankle when he was hit by a host of Waiters, after picking up a fumble. Swede Widlund turned in a fine defensive game, and his punting kept the score down. Jimmy Stevenson, for- mer student manager, ripped off several gains and showed that he could flip the pigskin under fire.

Rolling up on the shoulders, pretend- ing to ride a bicycle, lying on the floor, bringing the knees up beside the head to touch the ears has set many unknown feminine muscles to wailin. Doctors Examine Frosh Giving medical examinations to fresh- men boys has been the job of many doctors and nurses for the past two weeks. On October 3, Doctors Payne, Gillette, and Taylor assisted by nurses McTaggart and Sharinghouse. October 5, Doctors Holmes, Brown, and Murphy did the examining with the same nurses assisting. Examining on October 10, were Doctors Brown,Gillette, Taylor, and Limes. Bernard Christie Wins Prize Bernard Christie, Woodward grad' uate of last June, submitted a World's Fair poster which won 'drst place in the state of Ohio. His prize was a gold medal. Pupils from the entire United States competed in the contests in their own states. Bernard is a former art student of Miss June Anderson. To Give Wafile Breakfast In place of the regular home room tea, Miss Dorothy Kellogg's first hour students are giving a waflle breakfast. Ruth Carlson is chairman. No date has been set for the affair. HARRIERS DEFEAT BULLDOGS 28-29 Coach Fetters In a race undecided until the twelfth boy crossed the finish line, Woodward nosed out Scott's cross country team Wednesday, October 4, at Ottawa Park 28-29. Bill Gernheuser and George Jaschke took the first two places followed by Gene Wietrzykowski in fourth. Scott took third and all places between fifth and tenth. Oliver Sherman and Henry Jaschke placing tenth and eleventh, respectively, clinched the meet for Woodward. This win put the Bear thin- clads into a second place tie with Scott in the city league, now led by Libbey's Cowboys with two straight wins. The results of the Libbey-Scott meet will put Woodward well up in front. Saturday, October 7, Woodward bowed to Fremont to the tune of 27-32. Henry Swell, last year's district champ, of Fremont took first place with Bill Gernheuser and George Jaschke run- ning a close second and third. After Eugene Wietrzykowski took fourth place, Fremont outpaced the Bears in the next nine places. The line was crossed the fourteenth and sixteenth time by Tom Boggs and Henry Zeims, respectively. Coach Bill Fetters stated that he had three outstanding runners but not much with which to back them up. Fre- mont's successive nine places definitely decided the contest in their favor, also stated the track mentor. Waite and DeVilbiss are trailing in last place with no wins to their credits. Little difhculty is expected when the Polar Bears run against them. Clark Will Coach Frosh Grid Squad, Thirty Boys Report Reporting for practice are 30 fresh- men boys who played in gym suits for a few days and are now swinging into full practice sessions for their first game at the end of the month. Now outfitted in regular uniforms with black and orange jerseys, the boys are getting into condition by calisthenics, running, and passing. Possessing new uniforms are 23 boys, but the rest have makeshift suits. The managers are to get new blue and white sweaters. L. C. Clark coaches the greenhorns in their sessions. BEAR CUBS SUFFER l3-0 LOSS AT LIBBEY Potts, Raczko Outstanding In Lightweights First Defeat Of Year The Woodward Cubs tasted their first defeat of the year last Friday at the hands of the Libbey Cowboys. As the gun ended the encounter, the score stood 13-0. As the first canto got under way, wild Bill MoCaughtry broke loose around end for 35 yards, this being the longest Bear run of the day. Midway in the quarter, Jim Douglas set up Libbey's first touchdown carrying the ball 40 yards on two consecutive plays. On the following play, Miller raced around end and gallopped 45 yards for the score. Libbey ran the ball and scored the extra point. The second frame was a see-saw affair with Woodward making many long runs, the main factors in the Bear back- field being Potts and Raczko. Wood- ward threatened on the Cowboys' 5 yard line with first down and goal to go, but they lacked the needed punch at this time of the game, and the half znged just as Libbey took over the a . Duplicitaing the second quarter, the third frame found the Cubs again on the run, threating the Libbey goal but unable to score. With a series of long runs that seemed to baffle the fighting Cubs, the Cowboys marched down the field. They got in position for Jim Douglas' plunge from the two, the conversion was low and this ended the scoreing for the game. 'W' Girls Plan Roast Oct. 18 At Ottawa, Annual Affair The W girls, who will hold their an- nual roast at Ottawa Park on Wednes- day, October 18, will meet after school on that date to hike to thier destination.

WOODWARD MEETS HARDING TONIGHT Taylor Revamps Lineup For Game With Marion There Woodward's Polar Bears tackle an old rival in Marion, Ohio, tonight. Last year the Bears won, scoring the last two minutes to win 12-6. Once again the Blue and White squad is hampered by injury. George Jacobs received a sprained ankle in the Waite encounter. The probable Bear line-up is, Dick Koster at left end, Kream Haddad at left tackle, L. Burns at left guard, Bob Myneder at center, B. Burns at right guard, Charlie McFarland at right tackle, and Gene Oswald at right end. In the Bear backfield are Stan Gogel at quarter, Bon Ramer at right wing, Henry Boyd at left wing and Swede Widlund at fullback. In the previous encounter Harding proved plenty tough with a speedy backfield and a determined line. Mrs. Marie Ersig's home room will travel to Marion, in a bus seating 35 persons to view the game. While in the city the students will visit the Harding Memorial and devour a meal before at- tending the encounter. Dope Corner VVaite will be playing the only home game Friday night when they take on the gridders from Saginaw, Michigan. The East Siders, who have yet to lose a contest, will again come out on top but only after a struggle. ' According to previous showings, the Libbey backs, Esmond, Georgia and Moore, will prove too much for the Scottians in the Bulldog's stadium to- morrow night. The big Central squad should have little trouble taking the team repre- senting Fordson, Michigan, there. This game is also scheduled for tomorrow. In the games played by Toledo col- leges, we pick the over North Dakota and De Salles over Assumption. Both contests are to be played tomor- row afternoon. Script Committee Changes Stage Scripts To Radio Ones The retiring script committee of Miss Dorothy Kellogg's first hour radio production class has revised old stage plays into radio scripts. The plays are Gratitude, The Boy Who Knew How to Keep a Secret, Murder at Mrs. Loring's, and Let's Honeymoon Again. The s c r i p t committee cooperating, with the directing committee, will cast members of the class in the roles. 'History Of School' First Radio Play Given This Year History of Schools is the name of the script that was given last Wednes- day night at 8:15 overW.T.O.L. This was the first program given this year. Participating in the skit were Dalton Hille, Bob Miller, David Baz, Janet Keiter, Nick Shemas, Mary Zalewski, Helen Kosakowski, Betty Templer, and Kathryn Schuler. Students from De- Vilbiss also took part in the skit. Don't Be Bashful, Or Be Shy Just Give This Game A Try By an act of prognostication, some fortunate Woodward student will re- ceive a free card with letters on it which will entitle him to attend the Woodward - DeVilbiss football game. Jeanne VV'ood, a female of the species, won a ticket to the Woodward -Waite game by predicting the score of the Woodward - Fort Wayne tussle.

She received her Bachelor's degree in the University of Wisconsin and her M. A. degree from the University of Toledo. Before coming to Woodward, Mrs. Russel taught at Robinson Junior High. 'tl like golf the best of all sports, asserted the new faculty member with a smile, even playing after school and week ends. During winter when the golf clubs are stored away, Mrs. Russel devotes her leisure time to ice skating fright side up.J A lover of music Knot swing! the ob- ject of our inquiries plays the violin and piano and chooses Beethoven and Wagner as her favorite composers. Being very much interested in foot- ball, she expects to attend many of Woodward's sports events. The war scare has thus far prevent- ed her from seeing Europe, but she still has hopes of going there. In the United States she has traveled through California, Florida, and many north- ern states. What They're Doing Besides their annual Coed-Prom, the French Club is also planning a skate and an after school dance. As yet, no definate dates have been selected for either affair. I 1 F For the purpose of raising funds to produce their yearly operetta, the Glee Club will sponsor an evening dance. This year they will present Gilbert and Sullivan's musical comedy, H. M. S.

I U l The Freshman Friendship clubs are planninga roast to be held Wednesday, October 25, in the shelter house at Wal- bridge Park. Invited guests are Miss Anne Wetterman and Miss Louise Her- ler, secretary of the Y.W.C.A. I Wandering Inquries 'fLeap Year, a new idea in school dances, is being discussed as a possible annual aliair sponsored by the Senior class. At this dance, invitations may be given out by the girls instead of by the boys. Several seniors have been asked for their opinions. They are listed below. Helen Wendell: I think that if it is accepted the boys should have the right to refuse, the same as the girls. Jeanne Mills: Woodward girls should have the right to ask boys from other schools instead of those that go to Woodward. It's a new idea and worth a try. Lillian Warner: I hadn't thought much about it, but it sounds O.K. to me. Chuck Mc Farland: UI don't like it so well because the boys cannot refuse if a girl asks him. Out side of that, it is a swell idea. A Frank Reager: I think that it is the best idea to ever hit Woodward. It is one of the things that happen once in a life time. Roy Winn: There is plenty of room for improvement, but it could be worse. E vox PoP Meetings For All Dear Editor: Why can't we hold our mass meetings in the boys' gymnasium? This would be large enough to accomodate- the whole student body. At the present only those who have tickets to go to the game are permitted to attend these assemblies. Maybe that is why fewer go to the games and why there is less cheering at the game. A mass meeting seldom fails to arouse the enthusiasm of everyone present and it might prove to be the deciding factor in a student's decision to attend the game. At the same time, those who decide to go at the last minute would still be in the know about the cheers and songs, and we wouldn't have the half-hearted cheering that is usually evident among the students. How do you other students feel about this? A Junior. Shall We Elect Them? Dear Editor: For the second straight year Wood- ward students have been deprived of the right to elect their cheerleaders. As a result one of our cheerleaders has been dismissed without the consent of the student body. It was partly my fault he was dismissed, so Iwould like to see an election of our cheerleaders so that these boys selected will be Woodward's choice. Pip. In Response Dear Editor, Lastweek an article criticized the selection of committee members of the various classes. Till that time, only the senior class committees were chosen. Therefore, I take it that he, the author, implied we, the senior class cabinet, did a poor job. I wish to state that the cabinet worked ed hard and long in their selection, guided only by the qualifications of the possible candidates. The exclusion of other worthy seniors was only due to the thought that they might be too busy to desire committee work. All commit- tees were approved by the class deans. Nick Shemas Lack Of Enthusiasm? Dear Editor: I sincerely believe that many mem- bers of our faculty and student body do not and would not know school spirit if it was staring them in the face. Time and time again persons get up on the stage before mass meeting and preach about our school spirit and school loyalty until it makes me sick. Considering that Woodward has not won a city game in t'ive years, all I can say is,it surely must have taken a lot of school loyalty and spirit for the stu- dents to buy over 700 activities tickets. A Woodward Junior Veteran Instructors Honor Rookie Teachers At Party Mrs. Dorothy Matheny was appointed chairman of the annual party given by the old teachers in honor of all the new teachers here at Woodward. Assisting Mrs. Matheny are Mrs. Eula Upp and Miss Dorothy Warner, who are taking care of the refresh- ments: Mrs. Mary Crouse, in charge of attendance, and Mr. S. B.

If You Fall In Lake Or Bruise Your Knees, Blame It On Evil Fate Fate controls your lives today, kid- dies. Iwo, do not resist: it will be fatal. Evil omens and incantations stalk the earth for it's Friday the 13th. Woodward has been caught in the swirling whirlpool of the spell.Tonight the destiny of the Bears is under the thumb of Fate,who wills that the jinx be broken. Woe be to Marion! The Cyclotron, also this eve, has been chosen by the evil ones for the scene of numerous tumbles, bruises, and dizzy feeli igs. But you won't escape! If you don't skate, you'll probably fall in the lake. Just in case you're so unfortunate as to have your senior picture appoint- ment today, it's only fair to warn you that the film will disclose either your past or your distant future. The teachers are in cahoots with Fate. So you can be sure your homework will be a dismal task---more dismal than usual. Things are bound to go wrong, so don't try to be cheerful. It's no use. It's F-r-i-d-a-y the T-h-i-r-t-e-e-n-t-h!!! Dot Kohne Bowls Highest Femme Score, Others Good Dorothy Kohne with a score of 118 led the bowling class which met Thurs- day, October 5.

KALTENBORN THRI LLS AU DIENCE -l.. Hitler Can't Compromise, Says World Famous Analyst Fifteen hundred people sat with rapt attention last Tuesday evening as H. V. Kaltenborn,world famous radio com- mentator, author, reporter, and news analyst inaugurated with his address the eleventh annual season of the Toledo Civic Forum Association. The auditorium of the Women's Building was used for the lecture. The topic up- on which Mr. Kaltenborn spoke was, The Second World War or Does Chaos Confront Europe? Mr. Kaltenborn, who was in England, France, and Germany just before the war broke out, stated that the German people didn't expect to have to fight over Danzig, and that Hitler was the most surprised man in the world when he found himself at war with Britain and France. Blames Versailles Treaty 'The Treaty of Versailles is a funda' mentally foolish treaty, said the com' mentator, and is the direct cause of the Hitler Regime. Mr. Kaltenborn ex- pressed the opinion that the reason Britain and France didn't oppose the growing Nazi movement in Germany six years ago was that they lacked gumption. Hitlers and Mussolinis aren't inter- ested in saving anybody from anythingg they're just interested in themselves, emphatically stated Mr. Kaltenborn. The famous news analyst said he couldn't understand why there was a Munich, because Hitler can't com- promise, negotiate, or talk things over, Hitler Has Intellectual Limitations Mr. Kaltenborn accused the leaders of Britain and France of stupid and unpardonable diplomacy. He said that they should have recognized Hitler's intellectual limitations. In conclusion, Mr. Kaltenborn said that if we go into this war it will be only because that is what the American people want. But, he stated, It isn't our war, we didn't bring it about, and there is no need for our interference. Jean Douglas and Sam Laderman were Woodward's representatives. Annual P. T. A.

An alert Student Council. v 9 To The Faculty: HY ISN,T it a standing rule in Woodward that a certain percentage of the Woodward faculty be present at each football game. Apart from setting an example of school patriot- ism before the student body, there should be teach- ers at the games to act as policemen. It seems that there are a few people who insist upon ruining Woodward's reputation and honor by drinking at the games. At the Woodward---Waite game, sit- ting only a few rows from the small number of teach- ers who chose to be present, there was a terrible exhibition of bad conduct and intoxication. We, the majority of the Woodward students, should not have to be exposed to such scenes. If the Woodward faculty cares as little for our school as seems to be evident, then pep talks about school enthusiam should be transferred from the student body to the teachers. And anyway-H we'd love to see you at the games. ...i..1.-vi., Why Wait? Give Now! LTHOUGH the individual contributions were greater this year, the total sum accumulated by the first Red Cross collection was below expectations. It is thought that some students are holding back until the end of the drive. But this situation hampers the whole campaign. Don't wait! Give now! It's Up To You C. LARUE has stated time and time again that there is approximately five dollars lying ' on every pupil's desk each day. This sum represents the daily cost of education per student. All the school faculty and all the school officials can work to have the money there, but it is up to you, the student, to use it. What's The Matter? HAT'S THE MA'I'I'ER with our hall patrols? From a recent check-up only one-third of all the hall guards asked for hall permits. Where are the other two-thirds? If it isn't necessary to ask for hall permits why do we need hall guards? What good are hall guards if they forget or are too busy to demand a hall permit? The hall guards were chosen by the Student Council. Every person chosen should be honorable enough to do his duty. If not, someone should be put in his place---someone who respects the laws and high standard of the school. In Our Mailbox Fred Welch is mad at Nina Webb because she refused to see him.

POLAR BEARS DROP MARION TILT 12-0 Hank Boyd Suffers Injured Shoulder, Bears Lack Scoring Punch Woodward's fighting Polar Bears went down to defeat last Friday on a rain splattered field at Marion, Ohio, where they courageously battled a heavier elven from Harding High. The score was 12 to 0, Harding High thus squaring accounts for the loss they were handed by Woodward last year. Marion managed a score in the first and later in the third quarters. For the first score Guard Warren McGinnis, after blocking a Woodward punt, fell on the ball in the end zone for a touch- down. After Ferguson had raced 25 yards, Roberts crashed over from the one yard line and into pay dirt for the last score of the tussle. Coach Taylor's boys lacked the of- fensive punch as they strove in vain for a win. The battling boys in Black and White made six first downs to Harding's three. Late in the last quarter Swede Widlund ripped off a 20 yard gain which took the pig skin to the Black and Red's one yard stripe. Here again Marion's line strengthened and prevented a Woodward score. Hank Boyd, Woodward backfield star, suffered an injured shoulder in the second stanza and Johnie Maurice, freshman ball carrier, finished the game in his place.

Walters Cubs Drop Second City Game To DeVilbiss 27-0 On Oct. 10 Woodward's cubs dropped their sec' ond city league game 27-0, to a much larger DeVilbiss squad on Wednesday, October 10. The Tigers gained ground continually on end runs, scoring on plunges from within the Hve yard line for each of their touchdowns. Three of the four conversions were made by the DeVil- biss gridders. McCaughtry's 69 yard punt in the third quarter kept the Tigers from the goal line for quite some time. During the last quarter, end Ptyzbyz caught three passes that put the Bears into scoring territory, but the Blue and White lacked the power to push the ball over the line. The other highlight of the game was when Joe Italigato intercepted a Tiger pass and returned it to the opponent's 35 just before the gun sounded ending the game. The game was more or less a free for all from start to finish. Q MARION H1-LITES The way Vernon Gribbin made the strangers feel at home.

Seven Woodward Members Attend 'I Married An Angel' Several members of the Woodward faculty and student body attended the the matinee performance of I Married An Angel, last Monday. Dennis King, Vivienne Segal, and Karen VanRyn were the stars of the play, which was a varied mixture of winging, dancing, ballet, Surrealism, and acting. Miss Dorothy Kellogg, Mrs. Hazel McManamon, and Miss Betty Nelson were present and also Jane Searles, Marilyn Schoonmaker, Lily Schluter, Marjorie Sherer, Jean Douglas, and Phyllis Hendrickson.

The committee in charge in- cludes Mildred Nowinski, chairman, Ted Osial, Dorothea Maiezewski, and Walter Niemiec, assistants. Admission is thirty cents. BEARS TO TANGLE WITH TIGER TEAM Bears Will Have Tough Time To Turn Tables On DeVilbiss After suffering decisive defeats in their last two league games, and being heavily hit by injuries, the Bears are given little chance to turn the tables on a powerful DeVilbiss eleven tomor- row night in Page stadium. ln the seven contests between the two schools to date since the Tigers entered organized football, Woodward has scored but twice while the West Enders have garnered 145 points. Woodward scored once in '33 and again in '35. It is doubtful whether Hank Boyd, shifty backfield man, will be able to play due to an injured shoulder suffered in the Marion contest. This puts him on the injured list along with Jim Tima, Jack McKenzie, and George Jacobs. In spite of the fact that the Tigers are heavily favored, Coacl: Taylor will put a team on the field that will scrap all the way. Woodward will be trying to break into the win column for the Hrst time of the season, having lost four games and tying another. The Bears starting lineup will prob- ably remain intact except for Bill Hughes who will replace Boyd in the backfield. Results Of Skill Test Will Determine Boys Gym Group Homer Hanham, boy's gym instrutor, is sending his students through nume r- ous skills to determine which group the boys belong to. There are three classes, single A, double A, and triple A. Some of the various sports the boys are graded on are the high jumb, 75 yard dash, rope climb, chinning, push ups and baseball pitch. Single A groups meet three times a week, while double A and triple A clases get together twice and once a week, respectively. Mrs. E. Leu To Sponsor Next After School Home Room Tea Mrs. E. E. Leu will give a tea after school tonight for the mothers in the home rooms of Miss Marie Griffin, Miss Stella Sawtelle, Mrs. Margaret Belle- mdine,Wilson Weis, and Myron Skinner. The tea held last Wednesday was under the supervision of Mrs. Hazel McManamon. Students' mothers in the home rooms of Mrs. Kathryn Schuler, Mrs. Eula Upp, A. J. Brown, Hugh Montgomery, Joy Mohrhardt, and Mrs. Hazel McManamon were invited. Miss Dorothy Warner will give a Halloween party on October 31 for the mothers of the students in the home rooms of Miss Edith Murphy, Miss June Anderson, and A. D. Johnson. Art Smith and Clyde C. Meek are also invited. Lucky Gal Named Sares, Bess Won Ticket With Good Guess One beatifully lettered ticket to the oncoming Woodward---DeVilbiss game was taken from our hands by another female this week, by the name of Bessie Sares, for merely guessing the Bear versus Harding struggle last Fri- day.

Scrawl, print, write fif you canj your monicker, home room, and the correct result of the conflict between the Blue 8tWhite and the Ti- gers. Maybe you will be the lucky person to win the free pass for the conflict to be staged between Woodward and Central. WOODWARD ........ DEVILBISS ......... NAME ................ HOMEROOM .........

History Vernon Francis Gribbin was elected to the presidency of the junior class on October tenth. Inoidently, the tenth isislso Vernon's birthday, he is 16 years o . Speaking for myself and the other newly elected junior class cabinet members, stated Vernon, I believe this year's group will be the Enest group of kids to carry out the program of the junior classf, He is a graduate of Webster school and one of the few who readily admits that he likes school. Journalism and algebra three rate highest among his preferred studies. Vernon enjoys reading mysteries by Ellery Queen, his favorite author. Be- sides a pair of big, brown eyes, brown hair, and five feet eight inches in ver- tical distance, our subject also boasts an abundant supply of that thing called personality. Among his other likes are historical movies, Don Ameche, Betty Grable, ice skating, and popular music. Just to prove that Vernon is one of us he dotes on apple sauce and balogna' sandwiches. After graduating from Woodward, Veron would like to attend the Univer- sity of Toledo and become a sports writer. He writes sports stories for the Tattler and accompanies the light- weights to their clashes for this purpose. Vernon has competition in this field, for his sister, Ellen, also is a cub reporter.

T. A. prize, the trip to the Marion Harding football game. Both students and the bus driver, Ralph, ap- preciated the large sack of apples fur- nished by the thoughtful chaperone. Hardly had the bus left the city when Sleepy Knoke dozed off on one of the front seats. A blanket, do not disturb sign, and a lovely white hair ribbon were donated by a few friends. Bob still insists that he was really in the land of Nod during the proceed- ings. Songs, cheers, a deck of cards, and exchanging of hats were the chief amusement on the way up. In spite of a dismal rain, spirits were high when Marion was reached. The beautiful Hardin Memorial was the E first place visited and was admired by all. From there the bus journeyed to the midst of town where passers-by were treated CU with a few Woodward loco- motives and WO yells. Students than scattered to find places to eat. One of the laments heard was i'Not a Kewpie in town. After hunger was satisfied, everyone set out for the stadium. Just as the game began, so did the rain, but undaunted by the weather, covered with newpapers, the Woodward- ites stayed in and tried to outyell the Marion fans. The rain lasted about half an hour, and from then on everyone really enjoyed the game. Arthur Bancroft made friends with the editor of the Harding Herald. She had an umbrella. After unsuccessful attempts to entice a couple of football players to the stu- dent bus, both buses got underway for the ride home. A thirty-five minute stop was made at upper Sandusky to eat and explore. The long trip home gave Bob Weber and Rita Tertel a chance to discuss weather conditions. Others who should have reached decisions concerning the elements were Bob Knoke and Delores Kokocinski, Art Bancroft and Patty Hammontree, Betty Jane Roth and Vernon Gribbin, and Virginia Terry and Dick Semler. I CAFETERIA HEADS VISIT WOODWARD Declare With Two Mothers That Lunch Room Is Grand Woodward's Cafeteria passed its most crucial test last Wednesdayg for besides Mrs. George Schoonrnaker and Mrs. C. W. Noble, the two mothers invited by Mrs. Cecil Ashbrook, there were Mrs. Lucille Thomas, head of Robinson Jun- ior high cafeteriag and Mrs. Lucille Lembke and Mrs. Mary Hall, heads of Libbey cafeteria. Voicing their approval by unanimous consent,the high school cafeteria super- visors declared that the Woodward caf- eteria was one ofthe finest. In Libbey, the cafeteria is on the fourth f'loor so that the pupils have to walk farther, besides there is so little room in which to serve the foods, stated Mrs. Mary Hall. Mothers Approve Mrs. C. W. Noble and Mrs. George Schoonmaker were both amazed and delighted when Mrs. Cecil Ashbrook showed them the menus which were planned to include proteins, fats, carbo- hydrates, vitamins, and water soluble vitamins. Why, we couldn't put out that grand fifteen cent lunch ourselves for that priceg it must take great economy and planning on the part of the lunch room head, emphatically affirmed the two mothers. Mrs. Noble was surprised to find out that the students selected those foods which were good for them such as salads, milk, and fresh vegetables. I didn't know that the cafeteria used only refrigerated vegetables instead of canned ones, said Mrs. Schoonrnaker. They also use fresh eggs instead of storage ones, she also stated. The mothers took menus and promised to try out every dish. Klub Kapers The Zets and Hi-Y are planning a joint roast.

Here's Good Recipe For Fun: Buy 2 Tallies, Bring Your Gal Are you having any fun? If not, come to the P.T.A. card party, November 9. If you are, come and have some more. Win a prize by defeating your friends or teachers at a game of cards or checkers. Tallies cost one-fourth of a dollar and give you a dollar's worth of hilarity. Purchase tallies from L. C. Clark or any member of the committee. Proceeds will be used to furnish glasses for those students who cannot afford to buy them. If This Doesn't Beat All Black Cats and Smashed Mirrors! Woodward's grid team has been hit again by the jinx that has followed it all season. Joe Poddany, capable substitute cen- ter, is in St. Vincent's hospital conva- lescing from a recent appendectomy. Tough luck, J oe! We hope you'll be able to play next year. Mike Kaczorowski, senior guard, was not in uniform for the DeVilbiss game due to a pulled tendon in his leg. He also received a beautiful shiner in the same practice session. Francis Gorski has an infection in his left leg which will keep him out of to- night's tussle with the Irish. Hostesses Appointed Take notice of the hostesses when you go into room 154, any first hour. Betty Stadler, Edith Waltershied, or Mary Zalewski will be there to take care of you. Miss Kellog has ap- pointed them to act in her stead, so that she will not have to leave the work that she may be doing.

BOWSHER, AMES DISCUSS LEVY ISSUE WITH 3 HIGHEST CLASSES - G Welfare Dept. Appreciates Presents Of Food, Clothing Rooms 322 and 313 are literally swamped with clothes,', stated Miss Grace Cronk, head of Woodward's wel- fare department, if we had more time we could take care ofmany more people. A gratifying number of coats and sweaters were turned in. A typical example of the efliciency of the relief drive was the case of a sixteen year old boy who was outfitted with a suit com- plete with two pair of trousers, an over- coat, shirt and socks. Many people are now in need of warm clothing and although summer clothes are appreciated no immediate use can be made of them. No one in need has ever been turned away since the Woodward welfare de- partment has been on the job and this year more people than ever will be taken care of. 'Toledo Then And N oW,' Play Enacted By Woodwardites Toledo Then and Now a radio pro- gram presented by Toledo Board of Education was enacted by seven mem- bers of Miss Dorothy Kellogg's radio production class assisted by a number of Waite High students, over station WTOL, Wednesday, October 25. Louis Emm acted as narrator with Nick Shemas, Eileen Derr, Marilyn Gell, David Baz, Dalton Hille, Bob Miller, and Kenneth Zimmerman in the supporting cast. The Goblins Walk Pull down those curtains, and lock your doors tight, For this night shall live as a night- mare of fright There'll be goblins and witches to torment your thoughts And you'll toss in your bed from visions they've wrought. Be ever so quiet as you turn out those lights Then crawl into bed as silent as night Sh! A scratching, look neath your bed, Boo! Tis only a kitten, who fears witches, like you. June Knowles, '40, BLIND PIANO MASTER FROM BRITAIN GRANTS INTERVIEW AFTER CONCERT To be able to swing, you have to be able to improvise? stated Alec Templeton, blind British concert pian- ist, following his young people's concert given in the Peristyle at the Toledo Museum of Art, last Friday. Mr. Templeton stated that he thought that the youngsters were more enthusi- astic than adults, and just as attentive. He also mentioned that he could see that the boys and girls listen to the raido. Born in Cardiff, South Wales, Great Britain, the pianist is twenty nine years of age, and has recently taken out natu- ralization papers for this country. His hobby is music boxes, and he played a selection, Fun With Your Old Piano, in which he gave an im- pression of one of his collection. 'Tm crazy about Tommy Dorsey, and we often have jam sessions after the broadcast, smiled the famous artist. He went on to say that he likes Glenn Miller best of the newer orchestras, and listening to Sunrise Serenade and Stardust is one of his obsessions. Mr. Templeton also declared that he associated Bach with swing because he improvised. Upon shouts from the audi- ence Mr. Templeton improvised a composition and played it as George Gershwin would have played it, and as a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody. He also played several of his own compositions, among which was his theme song, Humming Bird. Among his impersonations wereWalt- er Damrasch announcing the opera, The Three Little Fishes, the Lullaby Lady singing Well All Rightf' and a man with a new radio. The evening concert will be more serious, but I will play 'Mendelssohn Mows Them Down, ' he concluded. Sixteen Woodward students were presented tickets to the recital through afiiliation with the Glee Club,while sev- eral others procured them through their music teachers. High School Pupils Are More Informed Than Adults E. L. Bowsher, superintendent of Toledo schools, and Edward C. Ames, head of the citizens committee, spoke at the meeting Monday to the soph- mores, juniors, and seniors about the 4 mill levy. Following are the highlights of their speeches: The splendid school system of Toledo faces a crises which the voters will give an answer to on November 7. High school pupils are more informed of the facts about the levy than 90 per- cent of the adults. During the last 7 years the value of real estate has diminished until it is necessary to have an added 2 mills to continue operation of the schools. It is impossible for the schools to run the full term this year or next if the levy fails. In case cf failure of the levy the To- ledo school system will be on the rocks for the next 5 years. For the average home owner the 4 mill tax levy will only mean an increase of 'dfty cents a month, which is less than 2 cents a day. A typical family with a home valued at three thousand dollars, now paying twenty-seven dollars annually for taxes will only be paying thirty-three dollars if the levy is passed. If the levy fails the pupils in Toledo schools will be the ones to suffer. Speaker's Bureau Talks If the 4-mill levy is to be won the strongest force is the reaction of the student body, stated Paul R. Lankenau, chairman of the Woodward's speaker's bureau of Woodward, made up of se- lected members of the faculty. The teachers cooperating with Mr. Lankenau and speaking Wednesday in all first hour classes were, Miss Angela Abair, Miss Catherine Brown, Mrs. Mary Crouse, Joseph Dence, Mrs. Marie D. Ersig, John K. Grodi, Mrs. Grace L. Kellermeir, Miss Dorothy Kellogg, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, Miss Marian Mc- Donough, James A. Pollock, Leo J. Robie, Mrs. Kathryn Schuler, Miss Hannah Shaw, Mrs. Eula UDP, Clyde Van Tassel, Miss ,Dorothy Warner, Miss Annie Wetterman, and Elemer H. Wholer. The teachers presented the facts of the school situation and the need for the levy directly to the classrooms. 'Why Hitler Must Fail,' Topic Of Frank Oram's Talk Frank Oram, well known lecturer will come to Woodward next Wednes- day to speak to all students who are interested in the outcome of the pres- ent war. Mr. Oram, after graduating from DeVilbiss, studied at Miami University where he obtained a scholarship to Frieberg University in Berlin, Germany. Having spent several years in this land he is very well qualified to discuss the fall of Germany in his lecture Why Hitler Must Fail. Mr. Oram is well known for his Nazi- land talks, the subject matters of which are his own theories derived from his experiences and knowledge of the Ger- man people. He is not coming here to spread propaganda in favor or against Hitler, but merely to give the student body the facts about this warring nation as he sees them. This is a project of all the clubs and the Student Council will take charge of the doors. An admission price of ten cents will cover the expense of his lecture.

Due to your thoughtfulness and benevo- lence, many needy families have food and clothing. The acoumilated articles are being distributed as quickly as possible. We lead, others follow may soon be Woodward's slogan, for other groups may try out this same plan. If you take an active part in the future Welfare Days, this campaign will be a success. Don't forget, Let those who have some share with those who have noneln Order Yours Now AGA TIME again is here! The importance of year book ownership cannot be overemphasiz- ed. You seniors, especially, will want Sagas, because you are now enjoying your last happy high school year. We know that the money you invest will be money well spent, and only after a period of years will you appreciate the true value of your 1940 Saga-Tattler. Why not make the joys and sorrows of this year live again? Ofrdera year book now and keep those memories intact. Your Support Appreciated UPPORT of the school newspaper by the student body is enabling the senior members of the tattler staff to attend the annual state journal- ism convention. Listening to inspirational speakers and participating in round table discussions should provide those attending with material to publish a better school newspaper. The Tattler Staff takes this opportunity to thank you for your support, and solicits your continued cooperation in the future. Help Stop It, Kids! VEN though drinking at the football games has been criticized before in this column, the con dition is so serious as to warrant immediate attention. At least ten Woodwardites fif they may be called thatl were imbibing at the last game. Their conduct reflects back on every student. If you want a clean reputation, help stop the drinking at the games. We nominate to the hall of fame: The junior boy who stopped a smart-aleck senior boy from swear ing in the presence of a girl. l l I And to the hall of oblivion: The three boys who sat in the back of the auditorium during the De- Vilbiss mass meeting disturbing nine hundred other pupils who wanted to hear what the speakers were talking about. PRINCIPAL POINTS I I NEIGHBORLY NEWS On Friday, October 27th, we again r. celebrate Navy Day. This day has been ' - set aside by the National Government not only to honor the men of the Navy but to honor the man who perhaps ii, f more than anyone else is responsible X, :' A i' for the excellent condition of our Navy today. October 27 IS the birthday an niversary of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States from 1901 to 1909 However, it was not as president that Mr. Roosevelt did his greatest work for the Navy. It was the impetus that he gave to it several years before 1901 when he was an assistant secretary of the Navy. We look upon our Navy now, not asa huge implement of War, but as a tremendous safeguard of peace. No one wants war, but in these times with so much of the world actually at war, and so much distrust and suspicion among nations, it is only good common sense to be prepared. One of Theodore Roosevelt's most famous sayings is Walk softly but carry a big stick. Hence in the old cartoons of this famous President, in addition to his gleaming toothy smile the big knotted war club was always in evidence. Let's remember and honor the Navy, not only on Navy Day, but all the days of the year. Remember the Navy is constantly, night and day, year in and year out, protecting us from any type of foreign invasion. Cf'C'?,f' While walking down the hall one day, I saw a senior look my way. I turned around as I went by, And the cutest junior caught my eye. I thought I'd try the second floor, To see if I'd see anymore, And standing up against the wall Was a handsome sophomore, smile and all. But poor little me, I t1aven't a chance, For I'm just a freshman with no romance, But when an upper classman I shall be, l'll make those greenhorns look up to me.

Time Marches On When I blew out of my time bomb, I found the world twenty years older for it was 1959. Woodward students were being promised a stadium sometime in the near future. Girls were still wearing cardigans but the manufacturers weren't bothering to put sleeves on anymore. Saddle shoes were still in vogue but were rather soiled after about 7,300 days wear. Mechanical robots were doing Woodwardites' homework while the students spent their time having fun. Teachers had resolved not to give tests so as not to endanger the health of the students.

Like crawling off, like a beaten pup? Do you throw up your hands, Or tear your hair? Or ever cry out in utter despair? Don't feel like that, It doesn't pay, You needn't win, It's the way you play. It takes courage, and It proves your worth To lose the game, and yet Not curse your luck And stalk away, but smile and say, Lose or win, I'm in to stay, And play the game the right way. ---W. A. Martens, Soph. On The Bookshelf Deep Sea Divers --Constantine Zolotovsky Throughout this fascinating, informative book about the life and work of a deep sea diver runs a lively spirit of adventure. Told informally in a delightful conversational tone, it uses technical terms freely and explains them clearly and with accuracy. The first part of the book tells of the diver's training school, gives humorous, quick sketches of the teachers and pupils. The second part of the book relates stories of the various thrilling adventures that a deep sea diver may have. These tales cover the many dangerous phases of the work of these men from blowing up sunken ships and salvaging valuable metal to laying pipes underwater for harbor walls. THE WOODWA RD TATTLER POLAR BEARS BOW TO DeVILBISS 25-6 Widlund Scores Touchdown, McFarland Takes Hughes' Pass As Gun Ends Game Although losing their sixth straight game to DeVilbiss last Saturday night, 25-6, the Polar Bears scored their first touchdown of the year against a city foe. ML Jinx is now dead. In the final quarter Widlund punted out of bounds on the opponents' one foot line and DeVilbiss' returned punt was downed on their own 15. A pass from Hughes to Harold Boyd advanced the pigskin six yards. On the next play Widlund carried the ball to the two yard marker for a first down, and then plunged over for the score on the Hrst play. The attempted place kick for the extra point failed. The Tigers' main threat was the for- ward pass, with their line plays being stopped repeatedly. The Ricemen made three of their touchdowns via the air with Rice, McClure, Bohnsack, and Bennett figuring in the scores. Bennett missed three out of four attempted conversion. After the Taylorites had kicked off with but minutes left in the contest, they took possession of the ball on the Tiger 45. On the last play of the game, the Bears executed the McFarland Special in which Mac took a pass from Hughes and was downed withbut a foot to go for another score. Widlund and Bob Ramer, who ripped off several fine gains were outstanding in the Bear backfield, with the entire line playing a fine game. Woodward 165 Pos.

A call was sent out to all Freshman boys not playing football, to report in the boys' gym at 2:30 p.m. last Tuesday. The purpose of the meeting was to se- cure candidates for the freshman bas- ketball team. Names were taken and a short prac- tice session was held. Coach Art Smith had no comment to make as yet on the try-outs. Three Boys Hotg Foran Wins Ticket, Lankenau Chagrined How often have you wished that you could have the chance to pit your brain against that of ateacher on an even basis? If you have, score guessing furnishes you with your chance. Last week our noted lightweight football coach, Paul Lankenau, waged his brain in the contest ffor fun--his guess was Bears 7, Tigers 21 J but was badlybeaten by Dick Foran, Stanley Ripiaski and Gerald Liberkowski, whose three way tie was decided by drawing, with Dick Foran capturing the ticket to the Cen- tral Bear clash this Thursday. Enter this week's contest by sub- scribing your guess as to the outcome of our confiict with Central. Remember it may be your chance to outsmart a teacher, and also win a ticket for the Woodward vs. Rossford game, which will be played at Waite Stadium next Saturday afternoon. WOODWARD ........

Practice for all teams is being held for two weeks before the tournament starts. DOPE CORNER 1 With DeVilbiss' one loss as the decid- ing factor, Waite is favored to win their encounter with the Tigers. This should prove to be a tight game and a deciding one in the city championship. U I I Libbey plays host to Defiance and should emerge victorious over the out- of- town team. a n a Fremont journeys to Toledo to play the Bulldogs with the Scotters having the most advantage of a win. l 8 U After the brilliant showing the Bears made at Page Stadium last week, this paper is not making any predictions on the Woodward-Central game. BealTeR3ral WOODWARD MEETS CENTRAL UNDER LIGHTS AT DEVILBISS TONIGHT . s cs Pappose's, Smother Whitmer 12-05 Opponents Overplayed Greenhorns ? They may seem green to the school, but Whitmer High's fresh- men gridders think diierent of the Woodward first year squad. The so call- ed greenhorns handed Whitmer is 12--0 defeat on the opponents' field last Thu- srday. Completely smothering the oppo- sition on offense and defense, the young Cubs crossed the goal line not less than four times, but were twice called back on penalties. Main factors in the Bear backfield were Rusty Rowe and Willie Santus, while the entire line, including substi- tutes, was continuously opening holes big enough for a truck to drive through. The gridders encounter DeVilbiss freshmen on Tuesday. Hank Boyd Fifth Bear Hurtg Three To Be Out For Season When Hank Boyd bruised his shoul- der in the Marion game, he was the Efth Bear to suffer an injury severe enough to keep him out of action. To start the ball rolling, Chuck Mc- Farland fractured his thumb during scrimmage and was idle in the Bryan fray. Next came Jim Tima, who frac- tured his collarbone at Libbey, Jack McKenziefractured his ankle in another practice session and George Jacobs broke his ankle in the Waite encounter. It is not likely that any of these last three will see action anymore this year, but Tima and McKenzie will be back next year while Jacobs will graduate. Freshmen Receive Medical Examination By 6 Doctors Medical examinations were given to all freshmen for the past two weeks. The doctors Payne, Gillette, Taylor, Holmes, Brown and Murphy assisted by nurses McTaygart, Shavinghouse and Limes supervised all examinations. The results of the examinations are as follows: among the boys, 81 had two or more defective teethg 92 were afflict- ed with bad tonsilsg 12 cardiac cases were discovered, but 2 hernia cases. Of the girls, 124 had bad tonsils,while only 59 have defective teeth. 28 cardiac cases were found among thegirls. GET ONg THERE'S ROOM FOR MQRE Widlund, Ramer, Jex, Hughes Or Boyd To Compose Backfield Since classes have been dismissed for tomorrow, an inspired Bear grid squad will engage the heavy Irish tonight at 8: l5in the DeVilbiss stadium. As a few of the older followers of Woodward gridiron teams will remember, Central was the last city team the Bears defeated. That was back in 1934 when Rollie Bevan's boys pounded out a 7-0 victory over the Irish. The Centralites will undoubtedly be the largest squad the Bears have tackled to date. Despite their size how- ever, they do not have a too impressive record for the current season. The Irish defeated DeVilbiss 13-7 but were downed 7-6 by the Cowboys and 14-7 by the Waite Indians. Since 1933, the Bears have won one and lost five of their battles with the Cherry Street club, winning in '34, and losing 20-12 in '33g l2-7 in '35, 24-6 in '36g 7-0 in '37g and 25-0 last year. Virgil Tank, hard hitting back and a serious threat in the blocking depart- ment, will be out of the game with a broken ankle suffered in the Waite game last Friday. Hank Boyd has recovered from the shoulder injury received in the Marion tilt and will be in uniform again tonight. The Bears starting lineup will proba- bly include Koster and Oswalt at ends, Czerwiec and L. Burns at guardsg Had- dad and McFarland at tackles with Myneder holding down the pivot posi- tion. In the backfield will be Jex, Ramer, Widlund, and Hughes or Boyd.

HAS GENIAL SMILES Miss Neuber Says Art Has Variety, Contains Interest Miss Dorothy Neuber, the new art teacher, radiates apleasent atmosphere in all her classes with her genial smile. A Toledo product all the way through, even to the graduating from the Uni- iversity of Toledo, this dark haired teacher likes math and had planned to teach it. She changed to art because, lt has variety, is interesting, and contains grand possibilities. Listening to the radio and music fa- vorite pastimes for the instructor, with math as a spur of the moment hobby. When questioned as to how she likes Woodward, the reply was, It's just grand, and it was a pleasant surprise to me. Miss Neuber, upon departing, asked that her interview be written in such a way that it wouldn't sound to ccgoonyys 2 vox-POP Cheerleaders Challenged Dear Editor: For the last few years everyone pounded it into our heads that the essential thing needed in Woodward was school spirit. This year however, the students of Woodward came up with a school spirit that is being recognized as second to none in the city. Now that we have found our school spirit the cheerleaders are lying down on the job. At the DeVilbiss game they seldom led us in a cheer, and when they did they showed no enthusiasm what- soever, thus causing a lack of interest in the student section. We, as the stu- dent body of Woodward,implore of the cheerleaders to do their part in keeping up our newly found school spirit. A school-spirited Junior. Someone Answer This Dear Editor: Did you ever stop to think of what became of the S1325 profit we took in Gayety Nite? I don't mean to criticize the way the school spends its money, but why keep us in the dark? As I understood it, a broadcasting system was to be installed this summer with the first S600 profit. But, where is it? Nothing more has been heard about the broadcasting system or any other method of spending the money. I, for one, think that the pupils should be entitled to know what happens to money they help to earn. If it has been put to a better cause, which it probably has, what's wrong with telling us? A Junior In The Gym Dear Editor: Why can't we hold our mass meet- ings in the gymnasium? stated a recent letter to the editor. I recall this article from Vox Pop because I am inclined to agree that this would be better than the practice now in use. Firstly, all the students, whether or not they could afford to buy a ticket to the game, could show their loyalty by exerting some heretofore suppressed cheers. Secondly, a pupil, after going to the pep meeting, might become enthused and decide to buy a ticket. The auditorium, as you probably saw at the last meeting, is far too small to hold all the game goersf' A great number of pupils had to stand. Let's hear some more opinions. A Junior. ,i-.l..... .

NAZISM IS THEME OF ORAM LECTURE Former Exchange Student Reveals Hitler's Strategy 'tMy first impression of Germany was one of order and simplicity, stated Frank Oram in his speech on Why Hitler Must Fail, which was given November 1, in the auditorium. Mr. Oram, former student of DeVil- biss and Miami University, returned from Germany a year ago last July where he had been studying at Frieburg University in Berlin. Hitler is the most adored individual the world has seen for some timeg the German people think of him as a God and a genius---Hitler is the state and the state is Hitler. Shouts of Heil Hitlern resound through Germany from crowded restaurants to the intimate farewells of young people in love, re- veled Mr. Oram. Under Nazism there is no God, but the state is supreme and education is politicall' he said. The German people are deprived of their religion, swing music, since Hitler considers it a de- graded subject, butter and many other food stuff, their main diet consists ofpo- tatoes. The women don't have time for much education, since their duty to Germany is to increase the population for Hitler's army. Duties of German women are as fol- lows, continued Mr. Oram: first duty is to be a mother, second, a loyal subject third, to obtain education, some what The average German fellow is alright ordinarily, stated Mr. Oram, but now he is living under Nazi force. Since everything the Germans are allowed to read and hear is censored, they had no idea how close they were to getting involved in war at Munich, and where really shocked when the news reached them of war with Poland. Mr. Oram concluded his speech by stating that although there is much propaganda in the United States it is true that a man put in a concentration camp for murder isn't dealt with as harshly as a man who defies the Nazi government. Five Senior Boys Selected To Be Substitute Postmen Groups of five senior boys, whose ages are eighteen years or over, were picked from each of the high schools in the city, through the recommen- dations of their deans and principals to be substitute postmen for the ten days preceding Christmas. Chester Zakrzewski, Ted Skrzyheck, Eugene Szalkowski, Leon Kwiatkowski, and Franklin Reiger constituted the group chosen from Woodward. This new plan of choosing substitute postmen is being executed under the supervision of Mr. Wink. Instructions began Tuesday, October 31, and will continue until ten days before Christ- mas when the boys take over ther posi- tions. After this ten day peroid is over, the boys who have proved satisfactory will continue on as substitute postmen while they are attending college. New Religious Instructions Inaugurated For This Year All Catholic students attended a special meeting held after school last Wednesday. The purpose of this gath- ering was to inaugurate a new series of religious instructions for the coming year. Registration took place, and plans for the year were discussed. Students will receive instructions from their respective parish priests every Wednesday after school in the same rooms they occupied last year.

For us, members of the student body of Woodward High School, this election equals, if not surpasses, in im p o r t a n ce a presidential election. For you, parents, will decide whether or not we are worth a good education, which is, in real- ity, a basis for all our future life. The decision rests with you. We've done our best. We've told you the facts and we've canvassed our neighborhoods. We pl e a d with you now to mark your ballot in favor of the new two mills we need in order that we may get the best possible start in life. JUDGED BEST l Recently all senior English students were required to write statements in answer to, Why I, As A senior, Wish The Four Mill Levy To Be Passed. The four papers which were judged by Mrs. Hazel McManamon, senior Eng- lish teacher, and Principal C. C. LaRue to be best are printed below. I am a senior and, like many other seniors before me, hope to graduate with a diploma which will admit me without exa min ation to any college in the North Central Association. This will be impossible if the Four Mill Levy is not passed. As a senior I ask you, the citi- zens of Toledo, to vote for the Levy so that I may be graduated from a school system of A rating. By Mildred Levans I, as a senior, am standing on the threshold of the outside world in which I hope to enter college and, later. to earn my living. Behind me, as afounda- tion, is education which I wish to com- plete in good order. Whether or not I can do this depends on the people's re- sponse to the Four Mill Levy issue now under consideration. The passage of the bill will mean that I and thousands of other students may complete our twelve years of elementary and second- ary schooling and may have our credits recognized in the nation's colleges and universities. I, representing these thou- sands, appeal to you, citizens, to vote for the Levy that our education may not be interrupted or impaired. By Phyllis Hendrickson Toledo is my home. No matter what occupation I choose - - no matter where I may have to go to follow it -- Toledo will alway be my home, because this is the place Where I've received the foundation of my education. I'm proud of Toledo, of its Zoological park, its Art .Museum, and its large, modern, well eguipped Illgh schools. At present, our clty contains a large number of brilliant men and women. What would happen if, because our high schools became incompetent, the most capable, intel- lectual families were forced to live elsewhere in order to have their chil- dren--future tax-payers and law makers receive a normal, well--rounded ed- ucation? Toledo would soon become second--rate. The city, through time, would be directed by less capable peo- ple, would cease to be a city worthy of our pride. We, as high school seniors, are unable to do anything to prevent our city from going to the dogs, so we appeal to all Toledo voters to vote yes --to give us a fair chance to become good citizens! By Jean Douglas As a citizen of tomorrow I would like to enjoy the privileges derived from a good education today. As good citizens of Toledo, I appeal to you to vote for the Four Mill Levy. By George Hotz T m Children of today should be given the chance other children had years ago. Make people vote yes for the Four Mill Levy! LAST MINUTE LEVY FLASHES Toledo has a fine system of schools built up over a period of years, and the Toledo schools are costing our people over six hundred thousand dollars per year less than the average city of our size in the United States. You get what you pay for, Toledo could employ cheaper teachers and administrators for our schools--much cheaper than we now have, but think what their employment would do to our schools. Perhaps you didn't know that the ath- letic program in all the Toledo high schools is self-supporting, and that any extra compensation is furnished from athletic funds and not from funds de- rived from school taxes. Because of free textbooks, the amount of money saved parents having one child enrolled in high school is greater than the cost of the additional two mills on property valued at 34,000---that if they have two children in high school the savings on textbooks alone is twice the cost of the additional two mills. Do you know that it will be impossi- ble to operate our schools for a full term this year or next on the basis of present income? This small increase on real property tax is positively the only way that the Board of Education can secure funds to carry on at the present leveland liquidate the school deficit. Schools are the greatest training ground for democracy in the United States, and what is not spent for edu- cation must be spent in far greater amounts for something else that is the result of poor education. Crime alone last yearin this country cost seven times as much as education. School buildings, equipment, etc. in Toledo are valued at 527,000,000 3107.39 is spent to educate us each of the four years we spend in high school. Even this amount is 313.48 less than the average cost per pupil in cities of 100,000 population and more. Toledo schools are part of the North Central Association which means that we are attending class A institutions, graduation from which is recognized anywhere instantly. If the levy bill is defeated, we shall be dropped from this list, and certificates of graduation will be practically worthless. Toledo schools belong to the children of Toledo and not to the Board of Ed- ucation, the administrative staff, or the teachers of the schools. The citizens of our city should have that thought in mind in meeting this situation. Remember this, parents: As a citizen in the greatest democracy in the world it is your duty to know all about the schools and to see that they are permit- ted to function efficiently, for they are the strongest bulwark that Democracy has against the racial hatreds and isms that are ruining Europe. In Dayton, Ohio, public schools had to close because of lack of money. We don't want that to happen to us. The Toledo schools are Hrst class schools, second in ability to support themselves, and sixty-ninth in state tax rate. When our parents went to school, they had to pay for their booksg today,- books are furnished by the Board of Edu cation. Text books are only one of the expenses of the Educational Bureau, and by the end of this year, the schools will be S800,000 in debt. This Four Mill Levy is only for oper- ating expenses. None of the money is to go for new buildings or equipement. THE WOODWARD TATTLER THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published And Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

You juniors and seniors who are going to hand out pam- phlets at the voting booths must realize that you are working under a handicap. If your conduct is bad, not only does it reflect back on the school but it helps in turning opinion against the Levy. Be courteous! Be polite! Be efiicientl But by all means, be a credit to Woodward. In your hands, the fate of the Levy may be. Education Or Crime Do you wish to jeopardize your child's future for the sake of a few dollars? Do you wish to destroy the foundation of a democratic government? Your school system cannot operate any longer with a standing dehcit of S800,000. Therefore something must be done- either obtain more money or close the schools until deficit is made up. Closing the schools would certainly be dangerous You must realize that if you don't pay for education. by taxes, you must pay for something else by the same means. From latest statistics, the United States govern- ment issued a report on criminal cases stating that fifty percent of all juvenile criminal cases dealt with boys and girls not advanced beyond the eighth grade. Do you realize what this means? It means that if you don't pay taxes to support a good cause you will pay indirectly for unethical, illegal, and unChristian-like activities.

This margin was the largest any other team has gained over the Bears, and puts them in last place with four straight losses. Scott has yet to win a game. The Irish scored twice on passes in the opening minutes of the game with McGuire scoring after an interception and Mouch after catching McGuire's aerial. LaFleur,Pinciotti, and Kuron, the latter a former Woodwardite counted for the the other scores. Haddad and McFarland played well on the line with Widlund and Ramer out- standing among the backs. Woodward was outgained 53 to 270 yards in rushing and 20 yards to 57 via the air. Central garrieded 10 first downs to the Bear's three.

These ratin S are the results of re g . ports turned in by coaches on men who work thier games. They were compiled by Paul Schrader, of the Toledo Times sports department, and H. R. Townsend commissioner of the Ohio State Ath- letic association. The perfect rating would be '1' with Hanham and Betchal having 1.6 record. Homer'S score is taken from the 128 games he has worked in the past six years. A similar method was used to find the standings of the schools of Ohio. There are only three schools in all the state rated as low as two. Libbey and Scott boast perfect marks of one whereas the other city schools, includ- i ng Woodward, stand at the 1.1 mark. The schools are graded by the officials on sportsmanship of the coach, other school authorities, the crowd and the team. This IS Gorski F--ound love in J. M. R--eads in spare time.

Harriers Bow To Waite 25-323 Finish Sixth In District Meet Woodward's thin-clad bowed to Waite Wednesday, October 25, to the tune of 25-32. Elmer McDonald and Jim Lynch, both from Waite, placed Hrst and sec- ond to definitely decide the contest in favor of the Indians. Woodward's only showing was when Bill Gernheuser and George Jascke crossed the finish line to tie for third place. Woodward also dropped in the Dis- trict Meet held at the Ottawa Park course Saturday, October 28. Mansfield placed first with 65 points, Libbey sec- ond scoring 69, Scott third, 84 points, Waite fourth, totaling 85, and Wood- ward coming in sixth place with 116 points. Bill Gernheuser placed 6th, Eugene Wietrzykowski came in 13th, and George Jaschke crossed the line in 17th place. Only the first ten men to place in this meet will be eligible to participate in the state-wide meet to be held at Delaware, Ohio. Bill Gernheuser, only Bear eligible to attend, will probably go with the Libbey team. Northwestern Ohio will be represented in the state meet by Mansfield, and Libbey. Coach Bill Fetters stated that next year's team will probably be the same as this year except for the graduation of George Jaschke. The team can't be Worse next year, but I hope a lot better than this year, concluded coach Fetters. Basketball Call Made A call for reserve and varsity basket' ball was made last week by coaches Homer Hanham and Dave McMurray. The squads will be thinned to a work- able size and then will drop out until after football season, when practice will be resumed. Bill Copeland, Mike Campbell, and possibly George Jacobs if he recovers from his injury, will return to the var- sity squad. -agga - 1, Will Jim Tucker ever decide who his current heart throb is? fFor a while he had three on his so called string.J U I I We are wondering if Billy Hughes has gotten his ring back yet.

The final score being 12--7. The Tigers scored in the first half with their shifty quarter back doing most of the pigskin lugging for them. Their first score came in the opening canto on a consistent march down the field. . The Bears Kicked-off for the second time, and another march by the Tigers proved to be the deciding touchdown. ' With two minutes of playing time left in the game, Rusty Roe, shifty fresh- men back, intercepted a pass and ran eighty yards for the lone Woodward score. The conversion was completed on an end around play with Roe again carrying the ball across the white stripe. L. C. Clark is coaching the freshmen. -l Eat Soup To Aid Soupless!

CUBS TIE CENTRAL IN SCORELESS TILT Irish Game Ends Woodward Reserve Football Season Playing their last game of the season, the Woodward Cubs battled to a score- less tie with Central Catholic High's reserves. The game took place on Woodward's Held, Thursday, October 25. Central had possession of the -ball the majority of the Hrst quarter but was unable to do much gaining against the fighting Polar Bears. Clarron QFireboxJ Frymire ripped off a great deal of yardage during the short time he was in the game. The second canto found the Blue and White defending their goal due to the ,slippery field that caused a number of our ball carriers to fall behind the line of scrimmage. With two minutes of time left in the first half, Lefty Marok shot a long pass to Jake Pryzbyz who took the ball on the 20 and was hit hard after reaching the 11 yard line. Enough time for one play remained, but the Irish held and the break that might have won the game passed incomplete Passing attacks featured the remain- der of the game with both teams inter- cepting not less than four times. Midway in the last frame John Potts intercepted a Central pass and ran 40 yards before he was knocked out of bounds by three Irish gridders. Francis Hoszwa played an exception- ally good game at guard, and the entire Bear line-up turned in a good perform- ance. Miss Warner's Frosh, New Club Organized By Eng.

HEAD, THANKS US Glasses Will Be Purchased With Money Derived From Tallies Woodward High School P. T. A. has always been a worthy organization, and more parents should become members--- not just members, but active members, stated Carl M. Berdue, president of Woodward P. T. A., when interviewed. Mr. Berdue said that with the excep- tion of the card party to be held November ninth, and the regular monthly meetings, nothing definite has been planned. The money derived from the sales of card party tallies will be used to purchase glasses for students who need them but whose parents can- not aiford to buy them. Certain sums of money will be turned over to Miss Grace Cronk, welfare chairman, to be used to purchase clothing that a stu- dent may need in order to attend school, but which are not among the donations of clothing received at school. To students who participated in the membership drive, thanks a million, declared Mr. Berdue, as he also added that the campaign was a huge success when compared to former years. The fact that the attendance at the monthly meetings averages only about ten percent of the total membership, far less than it should be when one considers the entertaining program ar- ranged by program chairman, Miss Dorothy Warner, was one of the bad features of the P. T. A. mentioned by Mr. Berdue, Mr. Berdue's daughter, Emma, is a former assistant editor of the Tattler. Buddy Berdue is a senior here at school. Catherine Brown Attends Annual Founder's Meeting I was impressed most by the academic procession consisting of the president, speaker, trustees, and seniors of the college dressed in caps and gowns and the chorus in blue, stated Miss Catherine Brown, delegate to the annual Founder's Day meeting at Lake Erie College, Painsville, Ohio, Saturday, October 28. The college was founded in 1856, and was the first school for women west of the Allegheny mountains. It is a daughter of Mount Holyoke college. Grove Patterson, editor of the Toledo Blade, was guest speaker. Three Things That Matter was his subject. Miss Brown said that the three things were democracy, discipline, faith Mr. Patterson was enthusiastically received, a reception and luncheon being held before the speech at the famous Social Hall of the college, concluded Miss Brown. ,L.l. -1 Students Canvass 3 Wards To Discover Opinion Of Levy Woodward students made a canvass of every voter in the Woodward dis- trict which includes parts of the first, second, third, and fourth wards on Octo- ber 23 and 24. The purpose of investi- gation was to discover who among the registered voters was favorable or unfa- vorable to the four mill levy. The students were divided into precincts each student covering one city block. The day of the election, Novemer 7, these same students will be assigned to posts at the voting booths. They will work in four shifts: 6:30 to 9:30, 9:30 to 12:30, 12:30 to 3:30, 3:30 to 6:30. The students will wear school colors and will have the morning off if they work in a morning shift. Those working on the P. M. shifts will be freed from afternoon classes. ,-.l..-.....l1- That's Why Due to the fact that some of the parentsof Polish Woodward students can't read English,we have run a Polish TOWN HALL OPENED BY ELSA MAXWELL Famous Entertainer Tells How To Make Party A Success Miss Elsa Maxwell, Americas Mis- tress of Unceremoniesf, opened this sea- son's Town Hall Series with her first lecture in Toledo entitled Today, So- ciety is Diiferentf' She is known for her famous parties. You should always be free at parties and only give them for a special rea- son, stated Miss Maxwell, whois often called Secret Doctor of Parties. Never invite people to whom you are obligated. If you owe your butcher, don't ask him, he won't enjoy himself because he will think you should pay your bills instead of spending money for an evening's entertainment. You won't enjoy yourself either ,because you will know what he is thinking. Parties should never be given to pay back a debt. said Miss Maxwell. Early in life, Elsa's father told her not to be afraid of people, and to take light things seriously and serious things lightly. She was expelled from school the Hrst day and was taught to read and write by her mother. Miss Maxwell was born 56 years ago in an Iowa opera house during the sec, ond act. In1936 a man named Edgar Bergan begged her to invite him to one of her partiesg she introduced him to Rudy Vallee, and soon Edgar and Charlie Mc- Carthy beoame the famous personalities they are today. Frances Langford and Johnny Green and his orchestra also got their starts toward fame at Miss Maxwell's parties. Madam Chiang Kai Shek is one of herbest friends, and Charlie McCarthy is her favorite commedian. VOX POP Cheer Leaders Dear Editor, Last week a junior accused us cheer- leaders of lying down on the job. This, of course, made my blood boil because, first of all, the student body hollers themselves hoarse the first half and lies down on the job the second half. Of course, a few help us yell. Nothing makes me madder than to yell my head off announcing a cheer and then the stu- dent body won't yell.This is my answer to a challenge given to the cheerleaders by a junior. Jack Roy Wilson. More About Cheerleaders Dear Editor: There was a piece in the Tattler last week about the cheerleaders, but I think that the way they have been act- ing at the last two games is incredible. Although we may lose, the pupils alway seem to keep their school spiritg so why shouldn't the cheer leaders, as well? If to be a cheerleader means that you lose your school-spirit, I think we shouldn't have any or else give the honor to some one else. Let's hear some more opinions.

Miss Sawtelle, Mrs. Schuler Gather Every Kind Under Sun T.T Old books and new, foreign books and American books, spellers, histories, McGuffey's readers, novels, books on etiquette, and music books all will be displayed in the library by Miss Stella Sawtelle and Mrs. Katherine Schuler during National Book Week, November 13 through 17. Committees making posters and as- sisting with the arrangement of the display are Robert Hobbs and Ernest Hall, from Mrs. Schuler's first hour classg Dolores Downing and Evelyn Ingle, second hour class, Don Ruff and Christine Serafin, third hourg Mar- garet Kriner and Genevieve N o w a k from the sixth hour class, and Royal Kerr and Jane Searles, seventh hour. The books range in age from 49 to 139 years. Miss Sawtelle, who has charge of the new books in the display, has a splendid selection of different types of books. Fiction, fashion, art, and sports in- cluding baseball, football, track, swim- ming and basketball, are a part of the display. Alone, by Rear Admiral Byrd, and Edna Ferber's autobigraphy are two of the books to be found in this display. Miss Sawtelle is assisted by Jeanne Rydman. Pupils Have High Speed Test Averages In Typing Class A check-up of the various rates of speed attained by the typing students in the beginning and advanced classes yields the following report: Beginners averaging a speed of 20 to 40 words a minute are: Barbara Fisk, Virginia Jachimiak, Dorothy Erdman, Betty Ann Roche, Ruth Streight, May Van Klingeren, Bertha Hascal, Henri- etta Ambrose, Virginia Lindsay, Doro- thy Pyles, and Helen Schiedler. Jean Douglas, Katherine Trombley, and Phyllis Hendrickson, who are also first year students, have acquired a Speed of from 45 to 50 words per minute. High ranking advanced students in- clude Alice Morse, Leona Szelagowski, Bob Myneder, and Allaen Schneider who have typed an average of 45 words during a fifteen minute test. June Knowles typed 72 words and Lucille Metzner typed 59 words in a two minute test. , Electrical Society Sponsors Program For Science Pupils An educational program, sponsored by the Electrical Society, was presented Wednesday, November 8, in the audi- torium to all science students. Joseph Everett, the guest speaker, is considered the best authority on light and illumi- nation in the city. Background, size of object, and the speed of vision all are important in seeing properly, asserted Mr. Everett. It was proven that the right style and color of light shade can increase visibility considerably. Examples of polorized light were then presented. Polarized discs con- sist of small mineral particles imbed- ded in celluloid, and when these discs are subjected to a strong light many different effects may be produced, stated Mr. Everett. Cellophane, glass, and various patterns were placed in the polarized field and changed to many different colors. The angle at which a person looks at an object in this field will also make it appear in different colors. 51 'HOW BOOKS ENTER BEST SELLER FIELD' Was Discussed By Clifton Fadiman At Town Hall Meet A best seller, in general, is a book which within twelve months ofits pub- lication sells over 50,000 copies, stated Clifton Fadiman in his lecture at Town Hall, Saturday. The Bible is the best seller of all times. Books generally become popular through accident. Four accidental ways known as external methods are: to have the book attacked on publication by respectable people of the community to have title appeal, to have good and extensive advertising, and to have the Book of the Month Club select it. Besides these, there are four inter- nal reasons.They are as follows, to have low-brow appeal wrapped up in a high- brow package, that is, read the book for one reason and tell yourself you are reading it for anothergto have betterlife or self-help appeal, to be written on some topic of current interest, and to buy a book because we are afraid not to read it. Some of these reasons are not very complimentary for buying books. In fact, most of the time, we are persuaded into buying books. Jeanne Rydman attended the lecture. Woodward Students Misuse School Identification Cards A rather old looking student board- ed a street car at 6 a. m. in the morn- ing with a dinner pail and showed his student's identification card to the con- ductor. Further investigation proved that this elderly student was between 40 and 50 years of age way to work, who was using his card. His child is a student in ward High School. This is only one example of the misuse of identification cards. Officials of the Community Traction Company turned in twenty-seven such cards taken away from Woodward students or from adults using them improperly. D Continuation of the misuse of this privilige to ride to school for five cents will cause the company to refuse to is- sue identification cards to high school pupils. , a man on his child's Wood- C.

The boys are making favors for the soldiers at Chillicothe, Ohio. Robert Stewart made shuttles for looms that are to be sent to the mountaineers in the Ozarks. Clothing and books that cannot be used here are sent to these people who are very handy at making clothes out of scraps. For instance, a baby's wrap contains 37 pieces of cloth, a pair of heavy socks is made from the cord which binds flour sacks, and very ar- tistic handkerchiefs, out of salt sacks. Mrs. Mary O'Brien is adviser of this 1 group. MANY FAMILIES AIDED BY DRIVE Pupils, Teachers, Merchants Contribute Welfare Goods From contributions of teachers and students, an average of four to five fam- ilies a day have been aided with food or clothing for the last three week.This include persons of any or religion. Ap- proximately 500 individuals have been supplied in one way or another. Various local merchants are helping this worthy cause, and through their held, and money contributions from a number of teachers, foodstuffs such as meats, butter, milk, and eggs have been secured. At least 45 students are receiving lunches either free of charge or at re- duced rates in the school lunchroom, and it is hoped that this number may be increased in the future. Due to the untiring efforts of Miss Grace Cronk, Mrs. Mary O'Brien and a number of teachers, baskets filled with fresh and canned vegetables and fruits, bread, milk, eggs, meat, butter, and other nourishing foods are being delivered to families whose names have been submitted to the welfare depart- ment of Woodward High School. Thespian Society Creates New Theatre Arts Bureau A Theater Arts Bureau has been formed by the Thespians. In this service, for a nominal sum the society will put on plays for any group, taking care of the costuming, makeup, directing, scen- ery, lights, and other necessary details in the production. As their first performance under the bureau, they will give a one act play and a marionette show at Whitehouse, Ohio, on Thursday, November 9. B. BURNS ELECTED SOPHOMORE PRES.

Miss Grace Cronk and Clyde Meek are advisers of the class and predict a very successful year. --l.. ,, 'Book Of The Week' Is New Literary Program Of Zets At a recent cabinet meeting of the Zetaleathean Literary Society, the liter- ary program for the year was planned. Modern literature will be the basis of the discussions. Various book reports will be given by different members of the organization. Books are to be chos- en from the selections of the Book of the Week and The Literary Guild. Marilyn Renz is program chairman, while Miss Edith Murphy and Miss Dor- othy Warner are co-advisers. BANQUET, DANCE, SHOPPING TOURS, DISCUSSIONS, ENJOYED With suppressed yawns but happy and excited faces, eleven students met Mrs. Marie D. Ersig, Tattler adviser, last Friday morning at seven o'clock with packed suitcases and blankets, in readiness for the long promised and eagerly awaited trip to Columbus to attend the sixteenth annual state-wide journalism convention. After the eleven o'clock arrival in Columbus, the group, which beside Mrs. Ersig included Jean Douglas, Sam Laderman, Richard Semler, Agnes Leece, Rita Tertel, Mildred Hall, Doro- thy Kincaid, Bob Knoke, June Knowles, Phyllis Hendrickson, and Bill Rogers, a junior member of the Tattler staff who drove one of the two cars, made its way to the Deshler-Wallick hotel, which was convention headquarters. After registering and lipsticking, the group separated and roamed around town seeking places to eat. Having lunched, most of the girls frequented the dime stores to pick-up forgotten necessities---hair ribbons, bobby pins, etc., while the boys toured the state capitol buildings. Two o'clock, in the hotel ball-room, a general assembly was held. Miss Edna Holmes, preident of the Journalism Association of Ohio Schools, was chair- man of the affair, and she introduced the three speakers: Francis J. Starzel, who spoke on How the Associated Press Covers the War, C. Willbert Pettegrew, whose topic was How Ra- dio Covers World News, and Rev. James Thomas, who talked on Ideals for writing. After the termination of the assembly, the girls e1evatored up to the eleventh fioor where the rooms were, and spent two and a half hours taking showers, fixing nails and hair, and resting in preparation for the evening banquet and dance, which every Tattler member attended and enjoyed. The after-dinner speaker was Dusty Miller, publiser of Wilmington, Ohio. Tiredly, at various a. m. hours, each crawled gladly between clean white sheets and was soon asleep. Next morning after breakfast, when an alarming number of pecan rolls were consumed, various round table discus- sions were led by journalists from all over Ohio. These were finished at noon, and were immediately followed by lunch, in order that no time might be wasted in getting to the stadium to witness the Ohio State-Indiana football game. After having thrilled to the novel experience of cheering for the winning team, the twelve cold Woodwardites climbed into the two cars and headed up northf' fOne of the amusing expe- riences was that of hearing the south- ern Ohioans drawl like honest-to-good- ness Scarletts and Rhetts.J Because traffic was extremely heavv, dinner was delayed until arrival at Kenton, Ohio, where a restaurant was found and an eagerly-awaited repast was enjoyed. The rest of the homeward trip was made pleasant by the staffthrough the various methods of singing, sleeping, and arguing. Toledo was again reached at ten o'clock p.m., when the group one-at-a- time dispersed ---- this time not even bothering to suppress the frequent yawns. THE WOODWARD TATTLER Was It A Just Cause? Twenty-one years ago tomorrow several warring nations assembled and declared that the World War be drawn to a close. Since then the United States has set that day aside which we will cele- brate tomorrow, Armistice Day. All over the nation crowds will cheer to the marching feet of the American Legion, marines, navy, army, malitia, boyscouts and many other social organizations. This great day is celebrated in memory of the men and women who sacrihced their happiness and life to save democracy for you and I. Today the men who came back crippled and diseased ask, Have we really saved Democracy? With the war going on as as it did in 1914 and 1917, we all hope and pray to God that each and every American twenty years from now can cheerfully say. God Bless America Land That I Love. Make Way For Tomorrow! E WISH you success, sophomores! This will be the first year that you will govern yourselves in regard to class activities. You will have troubles and bad breaks throughout the year, but without these pitfalls your success would be without the real glory that should accom- pany it. Since you have elected real officers that will lead you on, proclaim to the school Make Way For the Sophomores! Did You Say Hick? NE OF THE most enjoyable times aseniorhas is at the annual Senior Hick party. This year the date is set for November 17. Refreshments, games, and dancing are offered for just a modest sum. This is a classevent, planned so that the students will become better acquainted. Come, and have one of the best times of your school life. Don't Give Up The Ship ESTERDAY MORNING Woodwardites re- ceived their first report card of this year. Some people earned A's and Bla, others received D's and F's. Regardless of the grade, the teacher who issued it knew what he or she was doing. The grades you received were the grades you earned. If you have received low grades, don't let it discourage you. You can always do better if you try. If you do not justify your teacher's marking, apply yourself to the Biblical proverb, By their works shall ye know them. We nominate to the Hall of Fame: All class deans for a million and three reasons. Especially for repre- senting the student in faculty groups. C U U And to the Hall of Oblivion: Those speed demons who run through the corridors at sixty miles an hour, take corners on half a wheel and at the same time take the arm of an innocent bystander, BUT are always late for class.

'N Wilhelm of Germany had abdicatedand A D comes easily and yet ' that an Armistice had been signed by It isnft easy to fotgety ' , .1 the warring nations. D's are made by fools like me, Those of us who had relatives and friends in the American Expeditionary Force could not express our elation. Our boys were going to come home. No more Hghtingg no more dying in muddy filth infested trenches, no more poison gasg no more long enforced separation from homes and families, no more fearful reading of long casualty lists dreading to find familiar names, in short, everything unpleasant was ended. The future was brilliant and beautiful. In the ensuing months the boys began to re- turn. How you boys and girls would have enjoyed this. Several times school was dismissed and the returning soldiers marched through our streets applauded by thousands of school children and' all the older folk who could get away from their work. All this time we were congratulating the returning soldiers and ourselves firmly convinced that we had fought and won a war to save democracy. We had won a war that was to end all wars. There is not suflicient space here to follow through the train of events in the months that followed. A treaty was finally signed that to us seemed quite satisfactory. Later we found that this treaty was merely seed for other wars. After twenty-one years we again celebrate Armistice Day. But the thrill that atrended the first dawning of that day is gone. War has engulfed all the major nations of Europe. Nations that were set up by the treaty of Versailles have been over- thrown and plundered. Peace that we thought had been establishes forever seems now to be forever lost. And so on Armistice Day of twenty-one years ago all we have is a shattered dream of world peace. Fortunately America is not involved in war. We should all firmly resolvs that it will never be. We should have learned in the last war the futility of trying to settle the afairs of Europe. Let us hope that all our energy and intelligence shall be ex- pended in keeping America forever out of war. C'?C?..cd The Last Straw Good morning, says Teacher, I have a surprise, A nice oral quiz, and I want you to rise To answer a question. That is the best way. When I heard the news, I fainted dead away. Now, said Teacher, for tomorrow, I ask A neat written theme, it is a small task, And here's a list of topics to report on today. When I heard these words, I fainted dead away. Pm sorry, said Teacher, I've been called to the phone, And will be gone some time, so I'll leave you here alone, And also there's no advanced assignment today. When I heard her say this, I fainted dead away Time Marches Backwards When I swallowed my pink time pill, I discovered myself on the campus of dear old Woodward in 1810. As a good reporter should, I started out to see what was up. Cora Durham, Louann Belt, and Alice Dyer were the dashing belles of the day. The minuet was tops in popularity, but Chuck Harris had some new fangled idea about some kind of bugs with jitters. Mildred Levans was the speaker of the house and Jack Seymour was a noted diplomat in Congress. Sam Jenson alias Robert P. Fulton had just in- vented a marvelous thing called a steamboat, why we don't know. Think nothing of it, modestly declared the inventor when interviewed for Ye Olde Tattler, it's just my creative mind. ' The girls' intramural teams were being photo- graphed for the rhoto-gravure, looking very bashful in their shin length, longsleeved gym suits. The males just couldn't look. . I was in time for one of the ever popular Wood- ward dances. The Virginia Reel was the main fea- ture. We hate to tattle but Margaret Mizelle had a lot of trouble with her hoops and had to leave. The dance was over at 9:30. The Pony Express whizzed by and the town crier announced that all was well, so I decided to return to my own generation.

Clark's freshmen gridders fought to a 6-6 tie with the young Cowboys from Libbey, Friday, November 3. Sloan, curly haired quarter back, set the stage for the Bears score in the final quarter when he pounced on a free ball on the Libbey 16 yard line. Follow- ing a lateral play around left end, Roe plunged from the two yard line on the fourth down. The attempted after goal kick failed. Krall scored for the Cowboys on an off tackle play, side stepping three would-be-tacklers and crossing into pay dirt standing up. Conversion for an extra point was blocked. Libbey garnered nine first downs to the Bears seven. The invaders were penalized 35 yards while the Blue and White were set back 25. In the air, Woodward covered 25 yards and in turn held their opponents to 13. Valasek played well at guard, while f'Rusty Roe and Sloan carried off the backfield honors for the Bears.

Taking possesion of the ball on their own 35, Rossford marched right down the field to score on a plunge from the one yard line. The kick for the extra point was good. Woodward's score was set up when McFarland returned a partially blocked punt to the Rossford 18. Bob Ramar fought 05' three would--be tack- lers to score from the 10 yard marker. The conversion was good with Ramer plunging into pay dirt.

POLAH BAYER Dear Miss Bayer, Why does Mildred Bogdanski feel so badly when Nelson Furlong is with another girl? Snoopy Dear Nosey, Apparently you didn't think very hard when you were writing this quest- ion. Why is any girl unhappy when she sees her dream with another gal? It's a funny thing, but haven't you noticed that girls are much more apt to lose their heads over fellows who they aren't sure are at their beck and call? Philosophically yours, Miss Bayer Dear Polah Bayer, What flower shall reap from the budding romance of Angeline Bokan and a certain Jack Eaglin? I Want To Know Dear Inquisitive, Although I'm certain thereill be no orange blossoms, I'm not so sure that there won't be two-lips. I told you, Polah Bayer Dear Miss Bayer, I would like to know why Treva Hayes won't give that certain Walter a piece of candy. A pal, J . S. Dear Friend of Hers, What I would like to know is why any girl should give any boy candy she herself bought with her silk stocking money? Of course, if Walter would give Treva some candy, for instance, the case would be slightly different. Now do you know? Polah Bayer Dear Friend Bayer, Why isn't that Louis Emm-Shirley McLean romance progressing faster? Cassy Dear Friend Casanova, My indefinable intuition tells me that Shirley's sister, Jackie, has a lot to do with it.

FAMED TRACKSTER EXCITES HI-Y BOYS Glenn Cunningham, Holder Of Three Records, Interviewed I don't know exactly how I do it. I just take it easy for the Hrst half mile and speed up on the last, drawled Dr. Glenn Cunningham, world famous mile runner, who was in Toledo last Monday for two addresses. Dr. Cunningham, who recently was awarded his Ph. D. degree from Columbia University, spoke to the Rotary club at noon in the Commodore Perry hotel and members of the Hi-Y clubs at 7:30 p. m. in the Y. M. C. A. where he was interviewed by your reporter. Running Around the World was his subject which was illustrated by moving pictures of the 1936 Olympic games. 'He weighs 160 pounds, is about five feet eight in. tall, has dark hair and eyes, married to 'fthe sweetest girl in the world and is a swell all-around guy. Running is his hobby and work. He holds three world's records at present. He takes one of the longest warm-ups of all runners. He is an accomplished s p e a k e r, spicing seriousness with jokes, after which he never cracks a smile. It was a great thrill to shake hands with a world famous personality and a man who has been many boys' hero for yea-rs. SOPHMORE HEAD HELD FOR RAN SOM Bernard Burns Pays Ransom By Disclosing His Past Life The gruesome kidnapping of twin Bernard Burns, the newly elected pres, ident of the sophomore class. My associ- ates in crime and myself laid our plans with fiendish accuracy. Our first move was to trap him while he was tinkering in his auto mechanics class. He was swept into the Tattler office, seated in a chair, and forced to answer questions that were fired at him from everp direc- tion. Fixing us with a stony gaze that never wavered, he unreeled his past to us in response to our questioning. Dish me up a dish of chile or spah- getti and I'll murder it, he warned. Yes, I'm sixteen years old, was born May 23, 1923, and I graduated from Hamilton School, stated our guest. Bernard seems to think all the girls are pretty keen, even though he can't determine his favorite. Leonard, his twin brother, is sergeant-at-arms for the sophomore class. Both play varsity football, Bernard playing guard and Leonard left tackle. They prove a con- stant headache to Coach Taylor, who can't tell them apart. English proves tops in study, foot- ball in sport, while going to Ohio State Universtiy claims his ambition. He likes to dance, and rates Artie Shaw's orchestra as best. He has eyes of blue, blond hair, is 5 feet 8 inches tall and 156 pounds in weight. Bernard belongs to the Aviation Club, is a firm dis- believer in girls' knee socksg culinary accomplisements are limited to frying eggs. - I I know 1t'S been said before, but I've made up mymind that this year's Soph- more class will be a success, he con- cluded. His ransome being paid by giv- ing us his interview, we turned him loose in the halls to find his way back to his interrupted class. New Officers At their meeting last Monday the members of the Woodward Aviation Society elected the following new oflicers: secretary, Ralph Tanner, Treasurer, Daniel Winarskig sergeant- at-arms, Nolan Ryan, reporter, Johnny Sackman. Initiation will be held at the Y. M. C. A. Monday evening at 6:30. Lawrence Nuber is adviser of this organization. PROBABLE SCENES AT SCOTT GAME S fl 4 1 'TX l'i?

AMATEUR CHAMPION STUNS WOODWARD Chester Soucek Pounds Out 130 Typewritten Words Per Minute Cheered as he pounded'out words at the,rate of 138 Stroke words per minute, Chester Soucek, world's amateur cham- pion typist demonstrated the five funda mental principles of typing at an exhi- bition for commercial students and others interested. Tuesday in the audi- torum. The tive principles as set forth by Mr. Soucek are accuracy, concentration, rhythm, correct form, and elimenation of waste motion. To illustrate waste motion this champion typist wrapped his feet around the table, used his wrist in pecking at the keys and fiddled around at the typewriter. His next words were drowned in the laughter of the students who evidently saw a photo type of themselves. Starting with 30 words per minute then 40, 50, 70, 100 and finally his maxi- mum speed of over 130 word per minute, Mr. Soucek's work nevertheless showed uniformity of stroke which he explained was due to rhythm. Typing a memorized s e n t e n c e repeatedly, the champion obtained a speed of 240 words per minute. Another of Mr. Soucek's accomplishments is the ability to keep up his speedy typing and at the same time spells words and answers questions ofthe audience. . Mr. Soucek who is in the educational department of Underwood Typerwriter Co. 'was brought here under the aus- pices of the Elliot Fisher Co., dealers in in Underwoods. Lawrence Anderson introduced the typist who has won the world'S championship twice and the accuracy test three times. Letter Of Appreciation In view of the work on the school levy done by Woodward students, E. L. Bowsher, superintendant of schools, wrote the following letter of appreciation: Dear W o 0 d w a r d High School students, Just a word of appreciation to the boys and girls of Woodward High School for the splendid work you have done in behalf of the school levy campaign. While the levy was defeated it is a source of satisfaction to the admin- istration of schools to know that I the boys and girls ofour high schools were so deeply interested in helping the schools that they were willing to spend much of their time and do a lot of hard work in behalf of the levy. It is my belief that you really received some practical education in the 'field of civic activities. You did a great job and I am proud of you all. Sincerely yours, E. L. Bowsher. Change Clothes Four Woodward gridders donned gym shorts to join the varsity basketball squad. They are Hank Boyd, Charles McFarland, Dick Koster, and Kream Haddad. All these boys except Boyd played on the lightweight basketball squad last year. Library Gift E. L. Clark presented to the Wood- ward library, ten volumes of the Na- tional Encyclopedia. A These books will be a great help to all students but will be especially help ful to the freshmen. TWENTY STUDENTS PROCURE p ALL A CARDS Fon TEN WEEKS xFrosh Lead School With Ten W-WARD STUDENTS SEE COUNCIL RACE Proportional Voting In City Council Fight Object Of Interest Smashed between layers of politically minded citizens, several valiant Wood- ward students braved the tides of humanity last Friday and endeavored to make head or tail of the Toledo Council ballot counting at Hotel Waldorf. The process seemed to be endless and there was a complicated mixture of big boxes, rubber stamps, ballots, chalk, and buzz. As to the personnel of the place, men were dominant, fpoor tastel. Those outside the rail smoked big black cigars and kept their eyes on the Score board. Those inside were mostly coat- less and busy to some extent. Big brave policemen roamed about and directed forbidding glances at this re- porter who desired to enter and investigate. To attract someone's atten- tion it was necessary for one rather husky male to ascend to a table top. Sound effects included the thump of a stamping machine, the monotonous tone of voices calling off candidates' names, and a variety of controversies. Woodward representatives were awed by the news that there were 82,200 votes to be sorted and counted. A big bunch of orchids is being sent airmail to Floyd Kaminski, a Libbey graduate, who supplied facts and ex- planations to Woodwardites. Joe Malikowski, Bob Semler, Virginia Lobet, Phyllis Hendrickson and others were espied craning their necks for a view. Bob's height served to good ad- vantage. SCHOOLS TO CLOSE AS aftermath of the refusal of the four mill school levy, schools will be closed for six weeks starting on Wednesday, November 22. No definite date has been set for the reopening of schools in 1940.

We know how you feel when you have a home work assignment to do and you want to have some fun that night. It's hard to decide what to do, but this question comes up nearly every night. School life should be a mixture of both good clean fun and work, but if you have to choose be- tween the two remember that old proverb, Work before pleasure. Thanks Fellows O EACH and every loyal Woodwardite and members of the faculity, the Tattler extends its deepest appreciation for the hearty support of their relief project held twice weekly. Five or more families are taken care of every week by this worthy project. Keep on supporting it! Better Luck Next Year VEN THOUGH our school football team ended the season undisputed for last place, we must give them credit for their fire and spirit in all of the season's games. We can truly say that the student body stood by the teams for better or for worse. Perhaps we'll have better luck next year. What Do You Say UR basketball team will be good. Apart from piling up points, it will be the kind of team that any school can be proud of. Letis aim at the sportsmanship award, shall we? In order to do this we must have the co-operation of every student. You can help by refraining from booing and rule-breaking yourself, and by seeing to it that those around you do the same. If Woodward's notoriety can't be had in one way, let's get it in another! We Nominate to the Hall of Fame: The Electrical Club for having brought Joseph Everett and his demonstration on light to our school for the science pupils. 4 a s And to the Hall of Oblivion: Those students who by their consistant murmuring in the auditorium completly spoiled the Electrical Club's demonstra- tion on light. The speaker, aghast at Woodward's conduct, vowed that he would never again speak in our auditorium. Roving A-Round Despite rumors that nothing ever happens people are still living and thus: News! Hunting season is on, so absences show Qboth teachers and studentsi. Ronald Sharer wants to give driving lessons to troubled drivers. He specializes in backing out of parking places. Dare to be Yourself! It's worth it. Mr. Lankenau was a naughty boy last Thursday when he discretely hid a little green notebook. Who belongs to the unidentified third shoulder in Kream Haddad's picture in last Week's Tattler? When Roy Winn and Charles McFarland were in the sixth grade they both spelled truly, truely. Proof will be given in a later issue. Reported missing due to the call of the hunt were Don Busticker, Bill Renz, Eddie Radebough, John McKinley, Ray Lykowski, and several members of the Sheline family. Among the teachers who shouldered guns and kept their eyes pealed for game were S.B. Crouse, C. C. LaRue, S. K. Sheline, Hugh Montgomery, Homer Hanham, and O. M. Thompson. Special mention to Melvin Pilot who hun ted, and hunted, and hunted all day long and bagged ---- skunk! Apologies to Niel Gallier whose name was mis- spelled last week in the Tattler.

On The Bookshelf Mr. Popper's Penguins ---Richard and Florence Atwater Mr. Popper was a house-painter who yearned to be an explorer. He wrote a letter to Admiral Drake in the antarctic and received a penguin in return. The refrigerator was used as a nest and the cellar fiooded for a swimming pool and ice rink. His penguin began drooping and an appeal to an aquarium brought another drooping penguin instead of any aid. Soon there were ten more penguins. Finally Mr. Popper decided to train his flock as a vaudeville troupe. It worked and proved a great success. 8 U I Storms On the Labrador --Hepburn Dinwiddie Steve MacCoy, Labrador man, boss of a lumber camp, physically powerful, possessed of a ter- rifying temper, feared, respected and sometimes hated by men of that region, is the hero of this story.

From him Fin learned to fish and swim and acquired Cracky, a small intelligent Indian dog, whose fate influences the lives of all the characters in the story. In these pages of adventure, hardship, and excitement, the author has also given a vivid picture of Labrador life and people.

Bobby Ramer and Ernie Widlund fea- tured the spark in the Bear line up, with Ramer ripping off a number of long runs. Not less than four times did Widlund's punts set the Bulldogs back deep into their own territory and keep them from further scoring. Ringle's pass to Sala from the 25 midway in the first quarter scored the lone touchdown for Scott. Ringle booted the ball right between the uprights to score the point after touchdown. In the closing minutes of the second frame, the Blue and White pushed the ball to the 11 yard line, but were unable to cross the goal line. The bears suffered 35 yards in penal- ties while the Scotters were set back 20. Scott garnered ten first downs to Wood- ward's eight.

AFTER-SCHOOL SPORTS ENTER PROMINENT PLACE IN SCHOOL Bowling, Boxing, And Wrestling Candidates Choseng John McMahon, Ray Zielakowski: Are Elected Heads Of National, American Leagues Twenty-tive hopeful b o w le r s an- swered Howard Phipp's oall for candi- dates in room 142 on Nov. 9. Eligibility cards were filled out. John McMahon gained head position of the National League while Ray Zielakowski received the captaincy of the American League. These captains will not organize their teams for at least two weeks. Race for the city league title will start on December 2, at 10 A. M. in the Auditorium bowling alleys. Following games are scheduled for every Saturday morning until the season ends. Every high school submits two teams as competition in these contests. The National League has won the pennant for the last three years. Each year one or more members have gradu- ated from this team, until only John McMahon is left to carry on. The Nats are expected to give their opponents plenty to worry about this year. Coach Phipps stated that although many good bowlers have graduated from last years team he feels sure that Woodward will rate high in the finals- Woodward's new sport, wrestling. has attracted many candidates to the poys' gym after school. No teams have yet been organized, but Joe Dence, wrestling coach, has been instructing the boys for the past three weeks. There are approximately fifteen boys reporting every night. Only three, Roy Winn, Don Krell, John Vinson, have had previous experience. Several other high schools in the city have also organ- ized similar teams, although no sched- ule has yet been planned. Boxing, comparatively new in Wood- ward, also draws its share of attention. No coach has been appointed. There are three pairs of gloves in the gym that may be used. Due to the closing of the schools after Thanksgiving, Joe Dence hopes to rearrange the schedule so that Woodward will be able to enter in the last few matches. EMBHQI Kream Haddad supplied the outstand- ing play of the Bulldog game when he broke through the line and knocked the ball out of Al Jones upraised hand as he was about to pass. The Bears re- covered the ball on the Scott 32. Henry Boyd, shifty halfback, was re moved on the fourth play of the game when he was knocked out cold. H U I Apparently Fats Myneder likes mud.

Betty Jane Bruce Heap Um Smart To Win Um Free Pass Master guesser of the week, over 156 femmes and males, is Betty Jane Bruce. Her brillance and presence of mind in foretelling a Scott victory over Wood- ward to the tune of 7-0 deserves a just reward. Because of these facts Betty Jane Bruce was prsented wlth the sole ownership of a pass to the first basket- ball tussle of the season to be staged between Bowling Green and the Bears in Woodward's gym Friday, December 15. Circumstances beyond our control fno game being played by Woodwardj forces us to discontinue score guessing until Friday, December 15, when the Bears entertain Bowling Green. Jim Hoffman is back from Central. We guess he just can't stay away from Woodward. Anyway, glad you're back, Jim. Little Jim Jams In The Gym, Would You Mind If I Look In? We've all noticed the bobbing figures of the girls in the little gym. Some times they act like jumping jacks and then again are swinging around like the loop-the-loop at Walbridge park. My curiousity got the better of me last week and seventh hour I decided to take a look see. Slipping through the door of the room I was greeted by minor chords of music which sounded to me like an imitation of the elephant walk. Hearing a delicate puff in my right ear I turned to see those illustrious seniors, Helen Wendel and Jeanne Toms, going through motions which seemed to me funeducated as I am in the ways of the modern dancej to be very like the movements of a windmill, Puzzled, I determined to find the mean. ing of such goings on. The answer wa- simple: This was to be the means of improving the posture of the femmess will it, or will it not, that is the question. After being put at ease on this issue, I noticed among the girls a young sopho- more who was getting along very well, Keep it up, Jeannette Kolling. Strugging to move their arms, legs, and bodies in the proper manner were Katy Cummins, Betty Taylor, and Rita Tertel. Better luck next time girls. You know the old adage, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Before leaving, I heard one of the girls remark, 'Tm so sorry for myself? Yes, I thought, but according to the song, fourteen stories is an awful fall, so you just feel sorry for yourself. Time tthenj and space tnowl pro- hibits any further exploits in this field until next time. But join me again next week in another trip to the gym. National Contest Sponsored To Aid In Safety Observance A national script contest is being held through the Radio Production classes ofthe various high schools. The purpose of the contest, which is sponsored by the American Automobile Association, is to organize pupils in safety observ- ance. Miss Dorothy Kellogg's first hour class has been divided into nine groups, each group working on its own script. Individuals may also submit scripts. The best script from Woodward will be judged with those of the other Toledo schools and the winning paper sent to Washington where it will be compared with those of cities all over the country. D Eleanore Kowalski, last year's grad, is substituting in the oflice for Mrs. Florence McFerren, who is ill. COACHES PICK OUT BASKETBALL FIVES With Woodward's first basketball game only 26 days away, coaches Homer Hanham and Dave McMurray called a short but important meeting of basket- ball candidates in room 330 last Monday after school. These candidates have been practicing in both gyms for the last three weeks. Coach Hanham then chose his var- sity squad. They are: Dick Koster, George Jaschke, Kream Haddad, Charles McFarland, Mitchel Sahadi, Bill Copeland, Mike Campell ,Leon Kwiatkowski , Leon Konz, Norman Pryzbyz, Ed Williams, Gene Pease Bill Hughs. Jack McMann, and Henry Boyd. The remaining 41 boys are being used by coach McMurry in selecting his re- serve team. The lightweights will prob- ably consist of about 20 men. Both squads are practicing every night in the boys gym. The Bears first game will be played at Sylvania, Ohio.This game is a special dedication to the new gymnasium rec- ently completed in the opponents school. Besides Sylvania, the Blue and White will travel to Perrysburg and Tiffin. There is a possibility of visiting Findley also. Because Bill Copeland and Mike Campbell are the only men returning from last year's varsity, Homer Han- ham is planning on big things from the former reserve squad of last year. Bear Reserves Battle To 6-6 Tie With Rossford Last Mon. In the most evenly matched game of their schedule, the Cubs played to a 6-6 tie with Rossford's lightweights. The encounter took place on our field last Monday. Both teams scored in the last quarter. Each score resulted from a consistent march down the field. Paul Boes crossed the white marker for the Bears on an end around play from the 12 yard line. The conversion failed w h en Johnny Potts' knee touched the ground on an attempted end run. Rossford's score came after a long march down the field, with Fluke faking a center plunge and cutting wide around end to cross into pay dirt. The kick for extra point was wide. Literary Polar Bears Miss Helen Marie Griffin's fifth hour English class has been organized into a club which calls itself the Literary Polar Bears, and meets every Friday, fifth hour, in room 353. Serving under Angeline Bokan, who was elected president, are Winnona Al- drige, vice presdentg Mildred Bogdanski, secretary, and Nelson Furlong, pro- gram chairman. This organization is under the ad- visership of Miss Griffin. THE WOODWARD TATTLER THE HALL OF FAME Q QP AND ,, si 1 r fa POLAH BAYER -7a ff We N. N? nl' I ' H gf ggi . fEd.

It maybe his personality that enables him to get along with people, but it also takes a great deal of work to do such a good job directing the activities of the Senior Social Committee. Five feet, ten and one-half inches and 170 pounds makes him a valuable asset to the Falcons basketball and baseball teams on which he has played two and one seasons respectively. Tinkering with radios and annoying the neighbors with his sax really are tops as far as his hobbies are concerned. But the greater part of his free time is taken up with dishing out ice-cream cones at the neighborhood drug store. i,Upon leaving the portals of Wood- ward, Ted is golng to give the girls in all the seaports a treat for he is plan- ing to join the Navy. Friendship Clubs Present New Year Dance Jan. 13 Credit for the first dance of the new year goes to the combined Sophomore and Senior Friendship clubs. Committees for the affair to be given on Friday, January 13, 1940, include Alice Heidman, Ethel Johnson, and Mary Jane Zardel who are in charge of publicity, Lila Luther, Jacqueline McLean, Shirley McLean, and Jean Stafford will manage the decorationsg ticket distribution is under the joint management of Gladys Stager and Kathryn Cumminsg Bertha Kandziorski, Helen Glinski, Dorothy Zuch, and Mary Jane Zaidel comprise the clean up com- mittee. The combined clubs are advised by Mrs. Dorothy Matheny. No Wonder He Chews Gum! I think that the coolness and lasting fiavor of Spearmint Chicklets reaches the peak in gum perfection, wrote Bob Martin in a moment of leisure and now he's going to buy a car. The Spearmint Gum Company is pay- ing him the twenty-five dollars they offered for the best statement Why I like Spearmint Chicklets best. Nice going, Bob! P.T.A. Card Party Nets S100 To Buy Clothing And Glasses The annual P.T.A. card party was a success. One hundred and live tables of Woodward parents, teachers, and stu- dents attended the party and about S100 was made. With this money glasses and clothing for needy pupils will be bought A prize for the highest scorer at each table, and many door prizes were award- ed the lucky players. Not to be outdone by their parents, several students also carried home prizes. Among the above-mentioned card sharks were Swede Widlund, award- ed a box of candy, the ownership of which made him popular for a while, Freeman Tate won a luscious big box of Noody Noodle Soup Mixg Bob Martin received a box ofpancake flour, Johnny Vinson was given a bottle of cologne lgone to Helen Wendeljg Bill Rogers won a haircut, and any day now you may see Bob Weber sporting the marcel which was his share of the prizes. Not to be outdone by Bob, Dick Foran won a shampoo and set which was promptly turned over to a femme. LIBRARY RULES Remember these rules when you borrow books from the Woodward library.

Movie Presented East Side of Heaven with Bing Cros- by, Joan Blondell, Mischa' Auer, and Baby Sandy playing the featured roles was given in the auditorium today between second and third hours. This movie was to be given on November 3, but was postponed. Could be Stan Gogol, but don't worry, Moonblossim, it's not serious.

Rohr, adviser of the organization, thinks the dance will be a success and hopes to make it an an- nual event. OmC6I'S of the group are serving as a committee. Admission is one dollar a couple. Woodward Boys Thanked For Service Rendered Red Cross A letter of thanks has been received from the Red Cross Headquarters for the services of the Woodward boys who helped deliver Red Cross supplies to all parts of the city. The volunteers from Woodward were Robert Simmo ns, Frank Valasik, Richard Zablocki, Peter Zelles, Carleton Looney, Jim Cole, Vernon Gribbin, and Charles Robinson. Saga Orders Stopped No new orders for Sagas will be accepted until the number of those already ordered can be computed. This is to determine whether or not the quota of 900 has been reached. R. K. Sheline is adviser of the Saga staff. EIGHT HI-Y BOYS TO ATTEND MEET Ed. J ankowski To Accompany Group To Youngstown, Ohio Edward Jankowski Eight Woodward Senior Hi-Y boys and their adviser, Edward Jankowski, will attend the thirty-sixth annual Ohio Hi-Y Conference at Youngstown, Ohio from December 1 to 3. The group includes Roy Timmons, Oliver Sherman, Bert Gass, Melvin Petot, Bob Weber, Bob Martin, Don Krell, and Freeman Tate. Well known speakers who will head the various discussion groups are Dr. Frank D. Slutz of Dayton, Rev. Russel Humbert of Akron, and Albert H. Heinz, who will lead the Conference Song Pe- riods. Youngstown is to entertain at this convention, and the Y.M.C.A., and the Youngstown churches and schools will cooperate to entertain the delegates from all over the state. Representatives will stay at homes in the community. The conference,the theme ofwhich is christian Ways in a Democracy, is presented under the auspices of the gating Men's Christian Associations of io. The Junior Red Cross girls are making caps for themselves like those worn by official Red Cross nurses. ART APPRECIATION CLASS BIG SUCCESS June Anderson My experiment, the new art appreci- ation class, has proven a big success, smiled Miss June Anderson, art teach- er, and I expect it to be more so in following years. The nine members of the class study the Old Masters, current paintings, tech- nique and style of the famous artists, besides the fundamentals of design. The students have various problems in painting, not for perfection in their work, but for better appreciation ofthe different forms of art, Miss Anderson explained. Those taking the course are Richard Bounsonville, John Tryaskowski, Anna Varwig, Geraldine Ricard, Melva Far- well, Betty Jane Timmons, Delores Szumigala, Josephine S uli n s k i, and Mary Jane Pelicki. The modern trend in art, stated the t e a c h e r, is away from surrealism, which was only a fad, and toward the realistic. The technique, however, is loose and interesting. In Miss Anderson's junior and senior class, pupils are offered a choice of interior decoration, dress designing and commercial art. The latter is the most popular. There is a possibility that this class will repaint the border around the top of the art room wall. This Polish motif, which was originally made six or seven years ago, was washed off about three years back. Oral Expression Class Gives Free Thanksgiving Program Oral expression class gave the Thanksgiving program in the auditori- um today. Nicky Allemenos was master of ceremonies. James Stephenson gave an account of the history of Thanks- giving, Louise Barnett, a poem, Autumn, by Longfellow, Leonard Cooperman, a monologue, Frivilous Plum Pudding , Bette Stevenson, a poem, O'Reilly's Frost ls on the Pumpkin , Marjorie Cowell, an original monologue, Ethel Heneman, comical poem, De Circus Turkey , Isadore Yourist, The Bombardmentj' by Amy Lowell, Roy Timmons, Prince of Peace Declamation, Spirit of '76 , Phyllis Alberts, a poem, The Builder and an original play, The Courtship of Miles Standish, written by Pete Zelles. Those participating in the play are Cliff Manore, Pete Zelles, Millie Parks, and William Barrow. Bert Gass is also in the class. Students in the class had their voices recorded at Greene's Thursday, Nov. 10. Schedule Revised Since the schools will be closed, all basketball games in December have been canceled. The first game of the new year, which was slated for January 5,has been shifted to end ofthe basket- ball schedule. The first contest after schools reopen will be played on January 12. This gives the squad about two weeks of practice before the season starts. THE WOODWARD TATTLER THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published And Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

We need to use some antiseptic to clean out Woodward's festering, sore, ditry halls. Besides being an eyesore, the dirty corridors are breeding places of accidents, for banana peelings, waste paper, and apple cores litter the floor. Many students have nearly broken their necks when they stumbled on reminants of once fresh fruit. The iodine is good student conduct in the halls. Let's pour the iodine on the sore for that is the only way we can heal it. Cloud With Silver Lining? HIS IS one of the most hectic years in school history. A shortened school year, the post- poning of Gaiety Night, and the uncertain future of Toledo schools all add to the burden already placed on the students. Nothing definite has been decided. School life is in a turmoil in which the faculty and the student body are trying to rearrange their school lives. Perhaps this cloud of difficulties will have a silver ining, but all we can do is hope and pray. Let Us Be Thankful! HAT HAVE YOU HARVESTED? Have you anything to be thankful for? Some people say that they have nothing to be thankful for. Think of it! Living in the United States, a land of freedom and full of opportunities. Especially in these perilous days should we be thankful. Our young men are not shouldering a gun nor young women binding wounds. Our free- dom in any way is not blocked by war. There is no country in the world that gives its people the free- dom that we enjoy. We go to church and worship God in the way we want to. No public official tells a person that he should or should not pray. We not only love the Civil Rights guarenteed us in our Constitution, but each and every individual has the right to progress as far as possible. An ambitious person can climb, as far as the ladder goes. Our government offers ambitious youth that chance. For these things let us be thankful. Do 318 years change the attitude of man? The pilgrims didn't think so. Why should we? Your Time Will Come! OTS OF FUN? You bet! That is the feeling of al the seniors who turned out last Friday for the annual I-lick Party. l Juniors, your time is near. The social committee is now planning on your kid party. Prepare now for lots of fun. PRINCIPAL POINTSI I Neighborly News l Thanksgiving in 1621.

The very simplest fare although X L they did think it abundant. Homespun clothes inadequate to cope with the rigors of winter. A constant fear of attack by the unfriendly savages. Disease from exposure and lack of food constantly stalking their footsteps. Through all this a firm belief in a Divine Providence and a firm resolve to establish them- selves on American soil. God has blessed their labor with a bountiful harvest, hence a day set apart for thanksgiving and prayer. With all the above phrases in mind contrast our Thanksgiving Day in November 1939. Then ask yourselves, Are we really thankful for our manifold blessings? Have we retained any of the old heroic spirit of these ancestors of ours? Have their sacrifices, their sufferings, their noble aims and high ideals really produced the type of civilization and culture that was expected? If we could hear their comments from across the dim and misty shores of time they might not sound so complimentary. We have made miraculous strides in all kinds ofmaterial things. Our comforts of living are a matter for world wide wonder and envy, but our spiritual thinking and actions have fallen far behind. If history does repeat itself this material welfare that each of us clings to so fondly is an evidence of social decay. Only by swinging back to some of the serious attitudes of our ancestors can we avert national disaster. We have come a long way mate- rially in the past three hundred years. Let us hope that in the next three hundred we catch up in our CfC?.-69 Student Traits S-catter brain---Barbara Miller, Bob Mund. T-empting---Marion Mundwiler, Nolan Ryan.

Tidbits Tilt back your chairs, munch your favorite appetizer, and grab a load of goings-on.

Following in the tracks of his big brother Bob, Johnny Ramer scored two touchdowns for the Cubs. Both of Ramer's scores resulted from long runs with exceptionally good blo c king making the tallies possible.

I QQYQ l .i540'iM X Q 1 THE WOODWARD TATTLER REN OWNED POET LECTURES HERE Mr. Carl Sandburg, Lecturer, Poet, And Musician, Speaks X Problems that faced Lincoln in the chaos of his presideny are now occur- ing in the same phases for us, inferred Carl Sandburg, American poet, author- ity on Abraham Lincoln, and trouba' dour, in his Town Hall lecture, Novem- ber 18. The speaker stated that officials would do well at this critical time to fol- low Lincoln's manners of procedure, to go slow, to search out the possibilities in all courses of action, and to realize that no one policy can be just to all concerned. The greatest flaw in our govern- ment Mr. Sandberg cautioned in his rich, musical voice, is the interweav- ing of the British imperial party with the undemocratic career-minded men in our State department. Mr. Sandburg went on to say that the Dies Committee, a self-righteous group, one-sided in its action, is repeating his- tory, its course being similar to that at- tacking the Abolitionists in the Civil War time. Lincoln assumed that highly-civi- lized man developes his reasonong pow- ers, but is yet not afraid of his primitive moods and feelings, stated the Lincoln authority. The emancipator had both these qualities, cold impartial logic, unswayed by emotion, and a deep love of humanity. Lincoln took the greatest care in his utterances, searching his mind for precisely the right clearness. Some of his prose was musical, while some, he filled with commas and clauses to make its meaning stand the test of time, as they have. Mr. Sandburg read several of his new poems, and with the aid of his guitar, sang some songs from his American Songbag, two very short ditties, one from the Revolution, and a spiritual from the Civil War period. Inquiring Reporter Question: What do you think of our enforced six-week vacation? Oliver Sherman, sr.: As far as the sen- iors are concerned, I don't think it's so good, because many of the kids will have to take tough exams to get into college. Don Allen, jr.: Personally, I don't think it's so hot, because we won't know anything when we come back to school in January. Eileen Kibbey, coph.: The vacation is alright, but when you stop to think of all 1' the extra work we'll probably have after we get back, the idea is-n't so pleasant. Betty Jane Bruce, frosh: I'm not so glad because we might have to make up the work, but it still gives us a vacation. The Tattler, on behalf of the stu- dent body, wishes to extend deepest sympathy to Guy V. Sutphen up-in the death of his daughter, Mrs. Mar- garet Travis. Club Notes Senior Friendship Club will hold its next meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday, November 28, at 2:30 I l I German Club has ordered pins as their distinction this year.

BOWLING LEAGUES PREPARE FOR FIGHT Howard Phipps Bowling teams were partially organ- ized and practice games arranged at the second meeting called by Howard Phipps, November 16. Ray Zielaskowski, captain of Ameri- can League, secured the Auditorium bowling alley last Saturday. For the first practice session, ten prospective bowlers turned out to try their skill on the alleys. The Americans have decided to carry seven men on their team this year. The Nationals have about eight candidates. Because the Nats are prac- tically the same as last year, no practice games have been planned The closing of schools will not effect the opening game scheduled December 2. Although it has not been dfienitely decided, the first game will be played with Central. Woodward bowls 27 games this year, two against each city high school, and the remainder out of town.

Seniors Turn Out Arrayed In Elegant Hick Styles r There were more hicks gathered last Friday at the senior hick party than there are real hicks in America. Colne- ta Lau wore the outstanding costume, consisting of high button shoes, cotton stocking, and an old fashioned skirt. Ezra and Esmereldau were portrayed by Jean Velliquette and Marjorie Co- well, respectively. Jeanne had artificial black whiskers while Marjorie wore button shoes up to her knees.

A grand march led by Jean'Douglas and Nick Shemas was held while the judges eyed the participants so that they mighr pick out the most appropri- ate costumes. 8 Studeuts Attend Session Of Judge Straub's Court t'Hear Ye, hear ye, hear ye, this court is now in session! With this proclamation, the court- room was silenced, Judge Harvey Straub took the bench, and action began-immediately. Amid a crowded courtroom of law violators sat several Student Council members, prepared for anything. The procedure used in court seems to be a simple matter. The person summoned is brought before the judge, is case explained, and he is pron- ounced guilty or not guilty. If he is guilty, he pays costs and fines, but if h he is not guilty, the charges are sus- pended. Among the cases presented were speeding, overtime parking, drunken- ness, petty larceny,assult and battery, grand larceny, and accidents. Those Student Council members who were present we re Lois Roth, Betty Jane Roth, Betty Wood, Marilyn Schoon- maker' Kathryn Seeman, and Louis Emm. Those not from the council but also attending were Betty Seaman and Nick Shemas. In the future, the Student Council will pattern the student court sessions after the manner of Judge Straub's court.

Happy WOODWARD TATTLER Stardust New Constantly, Consistently Constructive Shme Year Tonight Vol. XII Toledo, Ohio, January 5, 1940 No. 13 LOSS OF TEACHER STARDUST DANCE TO BE HELD KEENLY MUURNED AMID STARS AND BLUE LIGHTS Faculty Students Lose Good ' , ' GCroWning Of Mystery Snow Friend Miss Mabel Rutan Sheis gone? Perhaps. Yet, in memory who can but say Her patient kindly presence lingers here with us today. A vacant place was left in many hearts as well as in the Woodward faculty, last month, with the death of Miss Mabel Rutan, teacher in Woodward for eleven years. Her contributions to this school and to her course, American history and civics, were many, and her memory shall not easily be erased from this edifice. Miss Rutan's students, many of them her close friends, admired her per- severence and conscientious teaching. Miss Rutan passed away November 26 after a serious illness and operation with which she was confined last sum- mer. She attempted to teach this fall hut had to leave after four days. She was buried in Wisconsin, her home state. Impressions From Behind A Counter Of A Big Store Many people who make a small pur' chase in ative and ten cent store would be surprised if they were to discover the impression they make on the sales clerk. The wealthy matron with fursand jew- els who is in a terrific hurry betrays a proud, haughty character. She is in a hurry because she is afraid her friend might see her shopping in a five and ten. The inquisitive person who asks where something is when it is displayed in plain view shows that they are too lazy to look for themselves. Then there is the inconsiderate person who demands the attention of the clerk and then keeps her and other customers waiting until she decides what she wants. An analysis of the crabby old fellow who says he has been short-changed and then discovers he is the one at fault, would betray a tight wad with a suspicious nature. A sales-clerk's nightmare is the person who tosses articles all over the counter after they have been neatly arranged, decides she saw something better at another store, and then leaves the clerk to repair the havoc she has caused. Bob Kerwin attributes his prowess as a bowler suddenly discovered at Christ- mas to generosity of Santa Claus. We wonder if Evelyn La Plant is be- ing entirely truthful when she states that she caught up on her school work during the holidays. Four Nassar daughters have been splitg one was spliced. Polish Classes Prepare Shoemakers Athlete Rehearsals for the Shoemaker Ath- lete annual play given by the Polish classes of Woodward have begun this week. The characters are as follows: Ted Osial, the athlete, Cecelia Szyrnanskig wash woman, Leonard Rawski, the ath- lete's song Wanda Sitek,athlete's daugh- ter, Chester Zakizewski, Alfred Makg Marie Pawlowski, their neighor: Frank Malik, her husbandg Helen Stasiak, their daughter. A few minor roles have not yet been cast. Leo Robie, Polish instructor, is directing the play. Student directors are Sophia Kijek and Dorothy Macie- jewski. The proceeds from this annual affair are used for a scholarship fund. This scholarship is awarded to an out- standing Polish language student on Recognition Day. The award entitles the winner to one year's study at De- Sales College. As yet there is no definite date set, but the performance will be given some time in March. NO EXAMS! E. L. Bowsher, superintendent of schools, announced at a special meeting of all city high school prin- cipals yesterday that there will be no definite period set aside this month for semester examinations. The elimination of the four week's period from the schedule was given by Mr. Bowsher as the reason for this action. He explained that the added three days of regular class- room study will enable teachers to cover some of the work missed. First semester classes will run to February 1, aud will close othcially at 2:30 on that date. There will be no school on Friday, February 2, for the pupils, but teachers will record grades on that day. Teachers are expected to give tests on units of work completed, and to grade pupils accordingly. There will be no exam grade on the cards, and the semester grade will be the result of the averaging ofthe grades of the first and second ten weeks of school. No action has been taken in regard to the June examinations. ' Radio Production, Script Writing Studied By Class Heading the various committees in Miss Dorothy Kellogg's radio produc- tion class is Genevieve Granecki, general chairman. Under Genevieve are Sylvia Gottfried, chairman of the Hostesses groupg Kenneth Zimmerman, bulleting Louis Emm, directing, Edith Waltersahied, timing and cuttingg Jack Henzler, sec- retariesg Suzan Wilson, apparatusg Helen Glinski, sound effects, and Mary Zalewski, House Beautiful. New com- mittees are appointed every month and each 'committee chooses a project to work on for that particular period. The whole group is now working on a Safety Contest, which encourages students to write scripts in the interest of safety. The American Automobile Association is backing this contest, which is open to interested students. Other scripts are being written also, and are complete with narration, dia- , logue, and sound effects. Queen Highlight J unejAnderson Under soft blue lights and amid blue and white stars, a mysterious snow queen, a senior member ofthe Art Klan, will be crowned at the Art Klan annual dance, Stardust, tonight. Brownie Shriver's orchestra will furnish music for dancing from 8 to 11 p. m. in the girl's gym. The queen, whose identity is kept a secret, is elected by the members of the Art Klan.

This may seem strange, as I am an average student, and like school very much. My reason for this attitude was that school was getting on my nerves.I had lost 15 pounds since school started, and needed a good rest. My vacation started with a bang and ended with a bang in the eye. The first Week of my vacation I got a job. This may sound like lady luck herself, but if so she deserted me. The first day on the job I smashed my finger, when that healed I burned the 'whole palm of my handg surviving this misfourtune I soon split my lipg not content with this I played iootball and collected another split lip, one sprained toe, and a cute black eye. VACATION AFFORDS CLEAN-UP PERIOD Eighty Workers Wash, Polish, Dust, Wax 113 Rooms In Woodward While Toledo students were enjoying an enforced vacation of six weeks, the Board of Education sponsored a reno- vation project in conjunction with the Works Progress Administration. Under the supervision of Mrs. Rena U. Thatcher, approximately eighty men and women cleaned 113 Woodward rooms. Working from November 27 to December 29, the workers washed the walls, floors, and ceilingsg washed and polished furniture and woodworkg dusted every book in the libraryg dusted the shadesg cleaned restrooms, in room 141, cleaned curtains: shampooed rugsg in the cafeteria, waxed the floor, in the domestic science rooms and the cafe- teria, washed dishes and cupboards: and in case you see any dirt on the windows, itis on the outside, because all the glass panes were washed on the inside. In the future, the corridors, gyms, showers, locker rooms, and five rooms and the stairways on the third floor will be cleaned. Charles Kimberly, graduate of Wood- ward in 1933, is general time keeper. Gloyd Ayres is clerk, and Frances Smith is the stenographer. Headquarters for the project are in room 147. AN ODE TO KIDS The man who has 2700 kids is none other than Charles C. LaRue, principal of Woodward High School. He is a good- natured fellow who loves a practical joke but is always aware of a non- practical one. Mr. LaRue is a great ad- vocate of democracy and at every avail- able cpportunity, practices what he preaches. His favorite word is kids, Perhaps the noun would not be accepted by well-known grammarians but the princi- pal proudly declares that it best suits his wards, Maybe he is agood psychologist and realizes the appeal of the slang term, or maybe he uses it to appear uncon- ventional to the students, but which- ever it may be, kids will live on as a good word in an excellent school of learning. So let's give credit to the man whose favorite word is kids, After all, we are kids now, and maybe we'll always be ---- in heart at least. FRAGMENTS Speaking of renovating, have you noticed how the disappearance of those so seldmoly used shelves give the cafeteria new life? But as yet, we have noticed no new life in the bell on Mr. Pollock's room telephone. Have you seen the new improvement in Bob Knokels class room maneuvers? He has perfected the art of walking in a ninety-degreed-angled circuit of waste, baskets. ' t 1 Your reporter saw a freshman science class seemingly trying to pop their eyes out into their hands: enlightenment disclosed that the frosh were painfully proving the presence of muscles and tendons in their forearms by trying to look off their upturned palms. On the occasion' ofhis birthday, Pete Zelles lavishly entertained friends and acquaintances at his locker yesterday morning. Refreshments consisted of cake, potato chips, and what not, drinks were on the school and were consuned at the school's many fountains.

A strong, effective school spirit. 2. More educational and musical pro- grams. 3. An alert Student Council. Y U Author Your Own Book! NEW YEAR has just been ushered in---a new year in more ways than one. A new era of school is heard. The vacation is past and ahead lies a busy school life. Studies, social events, and athletics will be resumed. Even though we are a little late on the school schedule, we can still make 1940 a year of success. Let's take young Mr. New Year by the arm and start out right. Let's get down to real work. The year 1940 is an unwritten book, and you're the one who is going to author it. Help Them To Victory HE FIRST challenge to our basketball team will be on January 12, when we play Scott in the Bulldogs gym. Woodward fives have always been high in the city's standings, and we hope this year that they will carry the the blue and white colors to victory. We'll be seeing you at the game. Let's Keep It Clean UR JOY in returning to school has been inten- sified by the cleanliness of the building. It is much easier and more pleasant to work under such conditions. Already some of the hard work of the people working on the school renovation project has been erradicated by thoughtless pupils who have marked tables and walls with pencils. The building is clean ---- let's keep it so! Make Your Life Full CHOOLS were established to train students to become scholastically, athletically, and socially minded. But pupils usually over-emphasize one of these ideals and this produces harm instead of good. Study! Exercise! Have a good time! But keep these participations under control. Enjoy everything. He who thinks he is a big cheese usually smells. I I l Pupil who tries to pull wool over teacher's eyes may find that she is not the sheep that he thinks PRINCIPAL POINTS j A Here we are once more after a long en- ? forced vacation. Many of you have em- , ployed the time to good advantage min- f - fra- -, . '-'ggi gling your good times with some serious f t -f.2 reading and study. A few,that is we hope j 5 it is few, have definitely gone backward. 'xt 1 , One of the immutable laws of psychology I -' ' is that the human mind is never static. We progress or we retrogress. Nothing we can do changes this, so the only sensible course is to try constantly to improve ourselves. We should lose no time in getting down to busi- ness. While the semester will be somewhat extend- ed, we cannot, of course, allow as much time for i-t as usual. We cannot at the present, see how anything good for you students can come out of the enforced closing of the schools. However, we are too close to the incident to properly judge it. There is only one thing left to do. Forget everything now except that we have a task to perform. The semester must be finished as nearly 100 per-cent as it is possible to do.

But after all, it's just no use, My conscience has come to the top, Teachers, pals, and brains I can't abuse, So now in this frame of mind, I stop. Surprise Package Woodwardites consoled their minds Christmas morning with various gifts. Under the tree Eddie Cooper found his long wanted baby doll. In her stocking, Shirley Pippel came upon Nolan Ryan. Uncle Neal told John Urbanski to look under the davenport for his present. Guess what? He found a jack-in-the-box. Robert Kerwin received tinker-toys. He has solved all the engineering feats already. Helen Bunner was presented with Otis Perry tied up in great big pink cellophane bows. Skis were given to Barbara Miller. Due to injuries received while trying them out on the stairs, Bar- bara will be seen with white bandages on her legs and arms for the next month. Santa Claus decided Howard Phipps had been a good boy all year and presented him with a pair of red flannels so that he can play golf all winter. Last but not least, all Toledo school pupils were given the well appreciated gift-- the privilege to romp back to school on January 2.

Miss Cecilia Earhart, home economics teacher at Libbey High School, is a Brst cousin of the late Amelia Earhart.

Resolute Resolutions When a new day, new month, new year,and new decade rolled around last Monday, Woodward stu- dents looked at their consciences and decided to clean up. Ralph Carpenter solemnly resolved, henceforth, to wink at as few girls as possible in 1940. After a violent struggle with herself, Delores Wozny's conservative side won, thus she resolved never again to wear green makeup. A community-spirit minded group of pedagogues got together and agreed to make all test answers public the day before exams. Virginia Foltynski boldly made the resolution to abstain from making flapjack in study hall. fCharred desks ruin the effectj After much coaxing and reasoning, Bert Haines promised not to play with his alphabet blocks during history any more. It took quite a bit of bribing to get Bill Foradaz to resolve not to lock teachers up in his locker as was his custom. Virginia Striggow sweetly resolved not to serenade her neighbors with her trumpet every night, while the rest of the band followed her example and promised to spare their friends any further agony. Marie Smith thought it over and vowed that she would not bring the pet kangaroo that Santa brought her to school more than three times a week, and then to leave it in Mr. LaRue's office where it would be safe. And many more. It sounds optimistic doesn't it, but you know how New Year's resolutions are. AD DEPARTMENT SPIKE'S BOOK NOOK---Big Sale!!

How to Beat the Rap -L WHY' i 2 Neighborly News I THE WOODWARD TATTLER Y C. M. Meek The oncoming basketball season offers more games than was expected, for our Blue and White cagers are following a schedule that calls for two games a week. On Tuesday nights the Bears play in the Univesity of Toledo Field House, as do all other schools playing that night. There will be no ohange in ad- mission and students will be admitted with activities tickets to see the three city contests. The reason for playing games at the Field House is to save on lighting and heating expenditures. On Fridays, the scheduled games will be played the same as they were last year. C. M. Meek, athletic director, has now put a basketball Season's ticket on sale for 31.50. In addition to the six basketball games, five movie tickets will be included in the book. All activ- ities ticket holders are receiving the same number of events as scheduled, for a movie will replace the Bowling Green game. The revised schedule consists of 12 games to be played on dates as American, National Teams To Enter Title Play Woodward's long wait for the starting of the city bowling league ends tomor- row morning when the Nationals and Americans will attempt to upset Scott. Although the Brst game was planned for December 2, the schedule will not be interrupted. No definite arrangement has yet been made to make up for the time lost. Teams will clash every Saturday morning, January 6 to February 17,to complete the first round. Each round gonsists of 21 games, three each Satur- ay. The Nats will meet Scott, Whitmer, Macomber, Waite, Libbey, Central, and DeVilbiss, respectively to complete round one. At the same time the Amer- icans will battle with Scott, DeVilbiss, Libbey, Macomber, Whitmer, Central, and Waite. Led by captains John McMahon and Ray Zielaskowski, both teams met yes- terday afternoon in the Auditorium al- leys for practice games. High scorers in these games decided the starting line- up. Plants, Animals Enjoy Their Vacation, Frogs, Toads Die It seems that the pupils and teachers weren't the only ones in Woodward to have a six weeks vacation. The plants and some of the animals in Miss Cronk's classes rated a vacation when they were taken home by biology students. We have a Frank Buck in our midst .and don't know it.

No, this isn't a description of the war front, it's just another day in the girls' gym. Volleyballs, basketballs, soccerballs coming from everywhere. Suddenly the shriek of a whistle is heard.

Freshmen Organized Two teams of ten boys will form the freshman bssketball for this season. One team will play in the high school league and the other in the recreation league. As in previous years, the frosh will play after school. Coach Bill Fetters an- noucod that we will play DeVilbiss, Temperance, Libbey, Central, Waite, and Miami here. BMNZPI J ..,.

May it last a long time. U I U We found the following set of N. Y resolutions, apparently authored by a high school fellow, thought maybe youid be interested, too: 1. Shoot no more paper wads. 2. Recite more in class. 3. Study lessons more. 4. Don't talk in classes any more than necessary. 1 a a You've no doubt noticed the new burst of enthusiam over the thrilling sport of ice-skating. Christmas ice skates, the new Ice House, the ap- pearance of Mother Winter and Swede Widlund in the city parks are all con- tributing causes. Most everyone's trying it--- at least once. O C O Maybe we're a little slow atukeeping up, but just when we had reached the point of deciding that George Jaschke was all tied up, at least for awhile, came the news that he is escorting Jean Douglas to the J-Hop, February 2--- and the date's been made for over a month! U l O Brightening up our halls are the new club distinctions of the Glee Club, Hi- Y, Zetalethean Literary Society, Stu- dent Council, Polish Literary Society, French Club, Electrical Society, Avia- tion Society, and the, Engineering Society. o u c Last December 15, the Senior Friend- ship Club toured the Ohio Clover Leaf Dairy, and were ,fattened up on ice cream and milk. 1 s 0 Mrs. Kathryn Schuler's English classes have begun their study of Charles Dickens '1'ale of Two Cities. And speaking of books, we know some seniors who'll be glad when their study of The Mill On The Floss, by George Eliot, is completed. 1 U l During our rest fwe've tired of call- ingifit vacation J we enjoyed watching Joe Dence, capable Woodward instruc- tor, trying to convince an elderly lady that her husband would look much better in a 252.00 white shirt than a blue one costing 81.00. I U l An evening dance, Baton Twirl will be given by the Woodward band mem- bers on Friday, January 19, in the girls gym. Alice Krawetzke is in charge of the affair. I l U Late food delivery and the absence of four of the PWA helpers did not delay Tuesday's lunch hour in the cafe- teria. Mrs. Cecil Ashbrooke, cafeteria head, and her remaining associates, al- though unable to serve a completely varied menu, managed to see that there was enough for everyone to eat. O l U Fred Braun, a senior photography enthusiast, spent two weeks of his rest photographing babies for the Baby Land Studio.

The current European War, H. R' Knickerbockefs latest journalistic as- signment, furnished this globe-trotting newspaperman with his topic for the Town Hall lecture December 9, which was attended by James Lloyd, a junior here at Woodward. Mr. Knickerbocker was introduced by the Rev. Walton E. Cole. I l l He stated that one American paper contained more information concerning the war than all the French newspapers put together. Benito Mussolini is the smartest and slyest of all the dictators, was the opinion of the newshawk of the globe. U 0 4 VVhen asked who would win the war, he replied that neither side could win if the United States did not enter the fray. I l l He ocmmented on the Finnish-Rus sian war as moving him greatly. 1 A C Household conditions contrast greatly in Finland and Russia, with the Russian home consisting solely of a poorly fur- nished room while the Finns have neat, white cottages far cleaner than most of those in our United States. O U U Questioned on how the United States could help Finland, Mr. Knickerbocker's reply was, The United States could help Finland by dropping the war debt.

Johnny Oh Johnny, I believe the tricky little number you mean is one Martha Harris, and her phone number is Adams 9383. Obligingly yours, Miss Bayer Dear Miss Bayer, It seems as though there are always a few people around to spoil every good time with their snobbishness and false pretending that they are better than those they are with. Why, do you suppose? Mr. X. My dear fellow, , I can only say what gay has already said, quote, they most assume, who know the least, unquote. Does that help? Miss B. Dear Miss Bayer, On the level, how did Mark De Brun, sophomore, come to have a broken nose a couple of weeks ago? Emma Dear Emma, On the level, it was all the result of a dare.

WATTA GAL! I T9 A pijhsoaioo AM miami Us 7 Z Q09 I LL ' SAS! Z Mr. VanTassel Many Woodward students a are bit puzzled about the changes that have taken place in their instructors since the recent six weeks intermission in the school year. The only apparent an- swer is the work and travel done by the pedagogues during their vacation. If Joe Dence or Mrs. Isla Van Vran- ken attempt a sales talk on their pupils, it is only the result of their jobs as sales-clerks. Mr. Dencefand Mrs. Van Vranken were a vast help to LaSalle and Kooh's in selling kimonos and oth- er commodities during the Christmas rush. Miss Angela Abair has the experi- ence of swimming in the Gulf of Mexi- co to boast about. E. L. Clark worked with Dr. J. C. Potts in the research department of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. Experimenting with compounds having to do with insulation products was his basic work. Those added muscles and healthy appearance so evident in Coach Taylor could be the result of his driving a truck for the Railway Express Com- pany. Southern New York and Cleve- land were also honored by the pres- ence of Mr. Taylor. Perhaps you too have noticed that proud glow radiating from R, K. She- line. The likely explanation is that his son was home from college for the holi- days. Listen closely and perhaps you can detect a slight southern drawl in the speech of Mrs. Eula Upp and Clyde Van Tassel. Mrs. Upp spent Christmas in St. Petersburg, Florida, and heard Christmas carols in the famous Bok Tower. According to Mrs.Upp, poin- settia blooms and citrus fruits were the main attraction. Three days of Mrs. Upp's vaction was spent at Grosse Isle High School in Michigan. Because it was in connection with her class at Ann Arbor, Mrs. Upp served on a com- mittee of eight to evaluate the School. Mr. Van Tassel also traveled to Florida. He stayed at asouthern cotton plantation and was escorted bya negro. The negro related intimate facts about the life of colored people in the South. Other highlights of his trip were a stop at St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, and a visit to Abraham Lincoln's birthplace in Ken- tucky. Mrs. Sharp Substitutes Mrs. Sybil Sharp conducted the girls' dancing classes yesterday during the absence of the regular instrutor, Mrs. Stella Harte. Mrs. Harre was absent while her husband underwent a tonsillectomy operation. m Melvin Biegala heard the ice crack and before he knew it, he was wet and full of mud to his knees.

T. A. PROGRAM Huge F1001' In accordance with the wishes of the late Miss Mabel Rutan, all the history material she had collected over her years of teaching was presented to the Woodward library. Included in the collection are approximately 738 books, 544 pamphlets, and five bookcases. That part of the library which will be set aside for these books will remain as a memorial to our former faculty member. Each book will be marked with a book plate designating it as a gift from Miss Rutan, and a bronze plate will mark the complete collection. Other social science instructors received historical material from this collection. Miss Catherine Brown was given five metal files containing clippings and source material, and a set of world history booksg Mrs. Kath- eryn Dinius, approximately seventy-five booksg Miss Louise Tippett, lesson plans, pictures, and pamphlets, William Fet- ters, Asia magazinesg Miss Marian McDonough, a filing cabinet containing pamphlets on college entrance tests, the constitution and map exercises, pictures of former presidents and of Chief Justice Marshall and General Lee, Jack Taylor, three sets of pam- phletsg and Mrs. Edna McLaughlin, books, a table, and pamphlets. This valuable material will beneht many students for years to come, and will be a permanent memorial to Miss Rutan. Mr. LaRue Presented With Part Of Sunken Submarine Mr. Paul Thomae, machi'ne shop instructor, recently presented principal C. C. LaRue with a bracket from one of the motors from the sunken subma- rine Squalus Mr. Thomae obtained the bracket from his brother who works for the General Electric Company. The Squalus has been disassembled and its motors have been sent to the General Electric Company, Schenectady New York. The company has taken the motors apart and assembled them again, finding that the salt ocean water had no effect on them. Regular army men, carrying guns and bayonets, protect the submarine's parts day and night. The company has been guarded by army men since the World War. Plans of mounting the bracket on a block of wood and displaying it in the show case were discussed by Mr. Thomas and Mr. LaRue. . The Reason Our Class Deans Always Know About Absence Perhaps you've wondered who takes up the attendance cards and what is done with them. A group of students under the supervision of Miss Grace Cronk deserves the credit for this work. Those who help are Ida Dorn, Yvonne Farah, Patricia Kuehnle, Shirley McLean, Betty Roos, Dorothy McLaugh- lin, Betty McFarland, Mary Kolath, Lyla Luther, Sophie Mides, Helen Miscikowske, and Budd Silvers. These students first collect all cards from the doors of the class rooms, take them back to Miss Cronk's room, arrange the cards alphabetically accord- ing to class, and then return the cards to the various class deans. Yvonne Farah acts as secretary of the group, Shirley McLean takes care of the absence records, and Dorothy McLaugh- lin files the excuses.

Notable Progress Made By Committees of Radio Class During the past week committees in Miss Dorothy Kellogg's radio produc- tion class have progressed notably. The House Beautiful committee, in- cluding Mary Zalewski, chairman, Ruth Hall, Shirley Superior, Helen Kosakowski and Ruth Edwards, made pink chair back covers and tan cur- tains for two doors. They plan to have different symbols for each committee's chair back covers. Snow scenes have been completed for one bulletin board and radio news is being collected for the other. The bulle- tin board committee consists of Ken- neth Zimmerman, chairman, Bertha. Hascal, Janet Kieter and Frieda Harris Latest Bulletins From The Home Economics' Division Since the reopening of schools, Miss Angela Abair's and Miss Blanch Hazel- ton's cooking classes have been buzzing with activity . Girls in all the third and fourth hour cooking classes are planning a qniz bee program. The topic of the contest will be meat, the subject which they are studying now. A prize will be awarded to the last person standing. The girl highest in the two classes together will also receive a prize. In the advanced Home Living Class, students are collecting quotations, poems, and pictures on what makes a home. The girls in Miss Laura Adams homs management class are studying textile fibers. They have been examining the fibers under microscopes, burning them and are preparing to test them with caustic soda. J-Hop, annual junior class dance, will present something new and novel this year since the Trianon Ballroom has been secured for this event on February 2. This will be the first Junior Prom in the city ever held at the Trianon. Elliot Hoyt and his orchestra will provide music from 9:00 till midnight. Vernon Gribbin, class president, and Bob Martin, dance chairman, met with Milton Tarloff, Trianon head, last Tues- day and made final arrangements for securing the floor. It was agreed that the affair should be semi-formal. Petitions are being circulated and tickets will go on sale for one dollar next week. Delores Wozny, program chairman, and her committee met last Monday after school to decide on the color scheme and type ofprograms. All agreed that the school colors be carried out. Virginia Lobet, publicity chairman, has enlisted the aid of the art depart- ment in painting and distributing post- ers throughout the city. Although no definite arrangements have been made in reguard to dancing classes, they will probably be held twice weekly after school with a school or- chestra furnishing the music.

Woodward Snow Queen Is Crowned At Annual Dance The mysterious snow queen of the Art Klan's annual dance Stardust, proved to be none other than Violet Pytel, an active senior member of that organization. Louise Bokan, Norman Silka, Betty Janczewski, George Hotz, Lucille, Weeks, Ralph Zychowicz, Marie Igna- towrki and Royal Kerr were the queen's attendants. Dolores Downing carried the queen's sceptre and Marjorie May was crown bearer. Acting as pages for Violet were Josephine Lempke and Virginia Kwia- towski. The club is advised by Miss June Andersong Louise Bokan is president. MAJUR ELIOT DISCUSSE The reason why the small Finnish army has been able to repulse the large Russian force is that by clever general- ship and quick transportation, the Finns have been able to concentrate a large percentage of men against the small corps of attacking Reds, declared Major George Fielding Eliot. Speaking at the Toledo Civic Forum in the Womanis Building, the retired army officer p o i n t e d out that the Finnish people have won ive decisive battles. The war will be one in which the Russians will attempt to wear down the strength of their opponents. Finn Strategy Major Eliot declared that the Soviet plan for conquering Finland was hastily constructed and urged on by political leaders. The Finns merely get in front ofthe attacking Russian body while an- other Finnish group cuts off the rear, and that is the end of the Red regiment. Stalin 's purpose in attacking Fin- S PRESENT WAR CRISIS land was to establish a secure eastern front Then the U. S. S. R. army would be free to fight on the western front against Japan. Finland was supposed to have crumbled under pressure from the Kremlin, stated the military expert. The speaker believed that the present war would end in favor of the Allies. Germany will either win a short war or lose a long one. The United States need not fear war for years to come, emphatically an- nounced the army ofiicer. Our 3000 mile Atlantic ocean will with the aid of a powerful navy will protect us. Major Elliot went on to show that enemy bombing planes cannot travel over 3000 miles without bases, and for this reason America should turn its attention from foreign affairs to inter- nal ones. Our army and navy should main- tain our peace and quiet, not disturg someone else's,' he concluded.

Regularity Is Profitable INCE there are to be no formal examinations this semester, our grades will largely depend upon the teacher's judgment of our daily work and classroom discussions. That we might have excellent grades on daily work, our attendance every day at school is very essential. Irregular attendance not only upsets your own schedule, but aso ,thej schedule of your classmates. Be regular! Personal To You Fellows! EAP YEAR is no excuse! It is the duty of the Woodward boys to invite one of Woodward's girls to be his guest at the annual prom of the junior class, the J-Hop. Don't wait: until someone! has taken your choice. Act quickly! Not knowing how to dance has long since ceased to be an excuse, because there will be dancing classes preceding the social affair. Sign a petition NOW! - What is the matter? Could it be that our editor is getting cold feet?--Printers Classmates Cooperate OR THE PAST TWO WEEKS, the question of where to hold the junior and senior proms has been causing a contorversy between the two upper classes. Not only has this promoted a certain amount of ill will, but it has delayed prom plans. The seniors felt that the Senior Prom should be THE prom of the students' four years of high school life. The juniors felt that they should make the J-Hop the most successful of its kind. Both classes planned to have their affairs at the Trianon Ball Room. But, no matter where these events are held, forget your class feeling for one night and attend these proms. Help make each a success. ml.,-.lim N 0 Law Against It ONTRARY TO THE BELIEF of many students, Woodward does not have a law limiting the number ofactivities that various organizations in school may plan for the same date. The rule is that no two events can be scheduled for the same evening if those events are to be held in the school building. The reason that skates, dances, and games often coincide is that the sponsors of the various activ- ities feel that out of 2700 students, enough will at- tend their affair to assure a reasonable amount of profit. Thus, if organizations wish to compete against previously scheduled events, and are willing to sacrifice a small amount of profit, there is no rea- son why they shouldn't try to make their program so attractive that they will induce student support.

But one day he attended a meeting of the Quakers and became afollower of this persecuted, peaceful, and unfash- ionable religion. Frequently imprisoned because the Quakers prin- ciples of peace, democracy, and freedom directly opposed the prevailing English concepts of church and State, Penn came to be a defender of all the oppressed, defying the courts, whose justice was ad- ministered only when convenient. ! I U Alone --Richard E. Byrd This is the account of Byrd's five month's isola- tion at Advance Base, the place, far south of Little America, where in 1934 he nearly died. Advance Base was the outcome of an idea in- spired by Byrd's first Antarctic expedition. The plan was to plant deep in the interior of that con- tinent an outpost, manned by several trained ob- servers whose task would be to study weather within the polar region. .-.111-l...1.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER BLANKING WAITE FOR 3 GAMES Durka Paces Bears With 5480 ' Totalg Marok Hits 500 Series Losing no time the National league bowling team settled down to business when they blanked Waite for three games last Saturday, to jump into first place in the Blade league. The Nats pounded out a 2399 three game total: 517 pins over the Indians score. Paced by Durka, who in spite of bad splits in his first game, whacked out a 167, following up with a 190-191, to hang up a big 548 total. Marok's steady bowling for 156-156-188 games, chalking up a 500 total, played a large part in the Bear victory. John McMahon's tied himself with Durka for single game honors when he banged a 191. Zychowicz hung up a 483 serie total. Because of a revised schedule, the Nationals met Waite instead of Scott Tomorrow the Blue and White will oppose Libbey. Americans Defeated The American bowling team came, saw, and lost two games to Macomber, snatching the remaining game for them- selves by one pin. Led by Bojawowski's. games of 154-177- 169, for a series total of 500, Feltman backed him up with 174-161-158 games, and a total of 493. Zielaskowski placed third with a final 462.

Ordinary general care that has been taught from childhood up is all that is necessary to stay healthy in winter weather. The earlier part of the week is usually the time when most students are in need of first aid. Because of the damp weather of January and February, students com- plain most of colds, influeuza,throat ail ments, and headaches during these months. On the average, more girls than boys receive first aid treatment from our school nurse. Wanda Jane Sitek Returns To Woodward From Florida Wanda Jane Sitek, junior, returned to W o o dw a r d, Monday, from a two week's visit in Miami, Florida. While she was there she swam, rode a surf board, and bowled. On a tripthrough theEverglades, Wanda Jane acquired a bite from a snake. She reached a doctor who cut out the bite. Glad the injuries weren't serious, Wanda Jane! Just Around The Corner? Prosperity is on the way! Do you want proof? The Tattler staff is going to buy a pencil sharpener!!! After having used the sharpener in the study hall, room 124, for several months, the group finally decided to contribute five cents each and purchase a new one. - By the way, would anyone be inter- ested in buying a second-hand sharp- ener? It is in A-1 condition with the exception of a missing handle,but after all, you can't have everything. lGirls' Intra-Mural Schedule Announced For Coming Week Next week's volley-ball schedule for the girls' intra-murals, which were re- sumed last Monday after school, is as follows: Friday, Jan. 12 The Scots vs. All Stars.

Do you realize that the part of your anatomy that takes the worst beating is your feet? Various methods of torture have been devised by the student body to assure you of corns, Eiunions, and general discomfort of the eet. There's the very polite and apparently apologetical fellow that deliberately crushes your little toe and then says Was that your foot? Oh, I'm sorry, really I amf' And then there's the boy that wears 'L'il Abners,' plowing through the halls and leaving a long row of wounded or disabled students who swear that they will get even with that guy some day. Hitch hiking seems to be the general idea of some boys at dances. They ask for a dance, hop on and than go for a free ride all over the Hour until you are tempted to ask them where they want to get off? The weaker sex also finds a place in this long list of public nuisances. You are dancing when all of a sudden you feel as if you forgot to pull the anchor in. Upon looking down, however, you see that some enterprising young lady has obligingly placed her heel in your pants' cuff. Say something and she will come back with Why don't you look where you're going? 1 strength Of Team ,, 3' .,,.. 1 i l 1 ' W' Leon Konz When the Woodward squad opens its basketball season tonight against Scott in the Bulldogs' gym, Coach Homer Hanham will get his chance to see the true strength of the team in their first test. Of Bill Copeland, Norman Pryzbyz, and George Jaschke, two are slated as forwards in the starting line-up. Either 'Leon Konz, Edward Williams, or Mike Campbell will play center, while Kream Haddad, Charles McFarland or Mitchell Sahadi will be selected as guards. I Hanham has tuned up his charges by long practice sessons and says that they lare ready to go. In the past years, 'Woodward has piled up a slight edge on wins. Hanham's Record Hanham's record is encouraging, for in his first year, the Blue and White captured both the city and district titles. In '38, the Bears again took the district championship. Last year, Woodward set a hot pace in the first round, only to drop four games in the second. Scott Prepared Even though the Bulldogs were de- feated last year by scores of 34-7, 36-21, they will give the Bears a tough and exciting battle. Besides their two new athletic heads, Mr. Meissner and Mr. Langstaff, each with a long string of victories to his credit, most of their last year's varsity have returned. Last Monday, the Scotters defeated Whit- mer by a score of 40-23. Scott's starting line-up will be Sat- erthwaite and DeBord, forwards: Hiedt- man, center, and Steinberg and Ram- beau, guards. Reserve Line-up The starting lineup for the reserve game tonight will be Nolan Ryan, cen- terg Lefty Marek, right forward, Dave Kornowa, left forward3Bob Brent, right guard, and Bob Myneder, left guard. Other players that will probably see action are Joe Harvey, Bernard Seymour, James Lloyd, Duke Potts, and Jim Tima. Coach Dave McMurry is now carrying twenty men on the squad. Sophomore Girl Wins Two Tickets At Dance Tuesday Lucky number ninety-nine won two basketball tickets for Irene Hintz, soph- omore, at the pre-basketball dance, Tuesday afternoon.

SHARP SAYS WE ARE FRIENDLY Our New Hygiene Instructor Likes Badminton, Travel After teaching at various Toledo high schools, Iam impressed with the friend- liness of Woodward students, stated Mrs.Don Sharp, the new hygiene teach- er. Mrs. Sharp began life in Detroit, but migrated to T ole d o when a junior in high school. Toledo must have found a warm spot in her heart,for after com- pleting her physical education course at the Sargent School, now part of Boston University, Mrs. S h a rp returned to teach at Scott and then DeVilbiss. After being absent from the teaching ranks for a year, Mrs. Sharp returned in these files, alternating between gym and hygiene classes in DeV1lbiss, Waite, and Woodward. Her preference to badminton over any other sport is evidence by the fact that Mrs. Sharp and her husband, a gym in- structor at Robinson Junior High, meet weekly with a group of badminton en- thusiasts at Robinson. The Sharp family, including a daugh- ter, Sybil,who has reached the tender age of two, travels extensively every second year, every other year being spent in study at various schools in the country. Chartered Buses To Carry Students To Games At T.U. C. C. LaRue announced that transpor- tation to and from the basketball games at Toledo University will be furnished by the Community Traction Company. The students interested in this plan will meet at Woodward on the night of the game. From Woodward the buses will go directly to T. U. and after the game directly back to Woodward. The bus driver will stop en route to leave students oH', but will not go off his planned route. Regular fare will be charged and if enough students are interested the plan will be carried on at other schools. APOLOGY In last week's Tattler, the prefix Miss was unintentionally omitted from the name of Miss June Ander- son.

Anyway I'm wondering, even if the allies starve Germany into submissson, how will they ever keep all those German Nazis living sauely? One of Miss Tippet's Protegees. Dear Genius, When Milton declared, Who over- comes by force hath overcome but half his foe, he said about all that can be said upon the subject. Instead of keeping the Nazis under control, it seems to me that the Allies will have to convert the Nazis into Germans. When all foreign matter is cleaned from a wound, the wound heals rapidly. Eh What? Miss Polah. Dear Miss Bear, Haven't you yet discovered that there is more than o n e Schoonmaker in Woodward? Lois is my dream girl, and I don't care who knows it. Would you mind telling me how to go about being on the re ceiving end of those devastating glances? Trusting In Your Prowess, C. M. Dear Cee Emm, Presuming that you've tried all the usual methods-of gaining the attention of the pretty lass, why not do some- thing drastic, like leaving the stag line and asking her to dance, helping to carry her books, being gentlemanly and polite, atleast when she can see you, and, as a last, final resort, you might even be so bold as to telephone and ask her to go with you to our next B.B. game. She knows you, but you haven't yet made her aware of you. Get it? Otherwise I don't know, Polah Bayer Miss Polah Bayer, Last week you told somebody who somebody was, so now will you please tell me who lives in locker 1551? Miss? Dear Miss Questioner, The fellow is Ray Grokowski, a sopho- more. Miss Bee Dear Miss Asprin, There's a fellow in school I know olny as Jeep . I'd like to know his real monicker. It's bandier. Forever Yours, Wailnscot Dear Miss Double You, He's a junior, known to a few as Eugene Shepard. Someone told me he really is jeepish, but I don't know what that means. No advertiser Miss Bayer.

Leap Year Scene Leap year opened up with a bang for Leo Robie, Polish instructor, at the Polish Literary Dance last Tuesday after school. One of Woodward's femmes asked her instructor to dance, but he bashfully refused. Why Mr. Robie, what do you think we observe leap year for? Good WOO WARD TAT LER Read Movies Constantly, Consistently Constructive Selected - Hints Vol. XII Toledo, Ohio, January 19, 1940 No. 15 NOTICE This edition of the Tattler was written to appear on Friday, Jan- uary 19. Due to enforce closing of the schools on that date, we held these papers until today, but have been unable to rewrite the copy. In many instances you will find the news stale and the sports mater- ial inaccurate, but we're asking that you read this issue with understand- ing and an open mind. Welfare Director Asks For More Donations Of Clothing The onslaught of cold weather brought on a demand for warm cloth- ing and bedding, stated Miss Grace Cronk, Woodward welfare director. t'Pleas have been pouring in for aid since school has reopened and the supply of donations on hand does not in the least equal the demand, she added. The heartening response that greeted Miss Cronk's plea during the recent drive bas made her feel that it is worth while to continue it. Anyone, who is able, is asked to bring in anything that will help relieve the suffering brought on by the bitter weather. President Of Woodward Red Cross To Speak At Findlay Mildred Levans, president of the Woodward Red Cross will speak on International Correspondence at the rally of the North Western Ohio Red Cross at Findlay, Ohio, tomorrow. She will be accompanied to Findlay by Mrs. Mary O'Brien. Earl Sala, president of the Toledo Red Cross and president of the Scott Chapter of the Red Cross, will speak on Junior Red Cross Projects. Journal Accepts Etching Of Bill Raczko, 1939 Grad Sleigh Ride, an etching made by William Raczko, graduate of '39, has been selected by the Junior Red Cross Journal to appear in one of its issues. This etching was part of a class project in which some of last year's art students participated. Miss June Anderson, art teacher, remarked that Bill Raczko's work showed strength and was unusual in line and shading. His rhythm in composi- tion also revealed promise. These class projects were finished in April, and were then sent to the Junior Red Cross. De Pauw University Offers Scholarship to Senior Boys Any senior boy interested in a schol- arship to De Pauw University should see Principal LaRue as soon as possible.

Red Cross Make Clothes Martha Rutkowski, Bertha Pasyk, Henrietta Klosinski, Sophie Zalewski, and Lillian Kosman, members of the Junior Red Cross, recently made baby clothes for war refugees. Because these students did such splended work they were fated at a surprise party. May We Commend You USUAL CRITICISM d i rec t e d toward the editorial column is that the editors criticize too much. Even if this is true, the purpose of this editorial is not to criti- cize, but to commend the Woodward student body for the fine loyalty and sportsmanship that was exhibited during the first basketball game of the season. We feel that now the students of our school are beginning to realize that one of the surest ways of directing attention toward Woodward is to display plenty of school spirit and enthusiasm, but to take bad breaks and decision on the chin, and remain quiet and undemonstrative when our opponents are endeavoring to score on a foul. Again, and this time on behalf of our fine team, we wish to extend our thanks. You're helping us to lead the city, not only with a winning team, but also with the highest honors of good behavior and sportsmanship. Others will soon follow our lead. Let's keep it up, and ----- Thanks! Engineering Society Again To Give After-Game Dances William Rohr has announced that the Engineering Society of which he is ad- viser, is planning to hold dances after the basketball games on January 19, February 2, and March 1.

Starting January 22, she will attend Woodward only half a day and spend the remaining hours from one to five at the music college doing office work. In return for this service, Jeanne will receive two lessonsa week in voice culture. Kathryn McKay Welcomes Student Cards Or Letters Because Kathryn McKay, sophomore girl, is very ill with a throat in- fection and is unable to have visitors, her aunt, in a letter to C.C.La Rue, has sent out a call for letters or cards. Kathryn has been ill for two weeks and the only thing she has to occupy her time is sleep. However, her doctor feels she sleeps too much and so all Woodwardites are asked to cheer her up with news from school. Let's all co-operate! Kathryn's address is 815 Michigan Street. Student Council Reports On Movies' Attendance, Profit Noon movies report was given at the last Student Council meeting. This re- port showed that an average of four hundred students attend the shows daily. Profit made from the movies is put into a special auditorium fund.

This question has been asked ever since Woodward grew up at its present site. This week the solution was found. For the first time, a list of selected movies for the activities ticket and lunch hour was submitted to the students for voting approval. This plan suc- ceeded! You, pupils, voted for the highest rated cinemas of this group. The moving pictures, as chosen by Woodwardites, will not only prove educational, but will provide the highest type of entertainment as well. You have proven that you want the best! Lest We Forget LD MAN WINTER might enjoy frolicking and cavorting, but the extremity of the weather recently certainly hasn't given Woodward students and faculty any great chance to rejoice in the freakish acts of the thermometer, for a great percentage of us have various stages of the germ commonly known as the cold. However, there are those in our building who have been more fortunate, having escaped illness. It is to protect those who are enjoying health that these words are being written. Too many of us are care- less about the familiar rules of sanity we have been taught from childhood. Itis been so long since we've been in the second grade that most of us have for- gotten how to cough and sneeze without danger of exposing others. Our germ-filled handkerchiefs are too often discovered carelessly tossed aside. We can all help stop this epidemic before it's start- ed if we begin now to do our part in keeping out coughs to ourselves. Our Hats Are Off HE WOODWARD CHAPTER of the Junior Red Cross has long been an active and benefi- cial part of the school system. Its work, reach- ing out to the mountainous regions of the South, has spread joy and comfort to many. Tomorrow our Red Cross representatives journey to Findlay to take part in the national convention of the organization. We wish to congratulate this group for its past successes and express a wish that it may ever be a living function of Woodward. Courtesy Pays OURTESY is the easiest and yet the most mis- understood word in Webster's dictionary. Here in Woodward it seems that the majority of the boys have no conception of the word. During noon movies the boys, freshman to seniors, act as if there is only one seat left. In fact, they almost step on the girls to squeeze in an opening. Also in the halls, boys forget to excuse themselves when they run into girls. Now boys let's show our geniune and habitual politeness at all times especially to the girls. j Neighborly News Teacher: Why don't you answer me? Freshie: I did, teacher. I shook my head.

Woodward faculty members have noticed a reluctance on the part of the student body in keeping up with their daily assignments, following the inopportune winter va- cation. Let's try harder kids! Woodward students, preferable the fe m i n i n e ones, have become very susceptible to freezing during winter months. Else, why those heavy coats during a recitation, girls? Swiped from Polah Bayer. Those two delightful sophomores who have been giving those Burn's twins a rush, are Helen and Eleanor. Need we say more? Latin students desire hidden information on one particular student taking that subject who is tall, dark, and handsome. If anyone knows of such a student, would they please contact the Tattler office first. P. S. We'd like to meet him too. Contribs An automobile takes about 2,000 nuts to hold it together, but only one to scatter it about. Betty Woods has joined the ranks ofthe deserters and is looking her best for a DeVilbiss lad.

QNobody in particularl Our hall clocks make nice decorations but can't seem to get together when it comes to time- telling. Helen Zentgraf informs us that the cruel fates have been kind to the long standing romance of Katherine Maier and Alex Sokolowski. The contributions are pouring in to buy a pencil Sharpener in the Tattler office. It will be a gala event when one can step up and actually put a point on one's pencil. Another reliable source reports that there is a definite attachment between Bette Starkloif and Windy Houghtell. A bulldog visited school Monday and gave every- thing in general the once over qeven the boys' gym oflicel. He had a very mean look on his face, and we're wondering if it could have been Scott's mascot spying on coach Hanham. Very few people enjoy writing letters, but Bette Davis doesn't seem to mind. She does quite a bit of corresponding and we think the object is Orville Tullers. Are you in love? Take Carter's Little Liver Pills. CAdvise of an anonymousj.

The Nats retained their drst place standing while the Amerks seconded them by securing three straight victories. Paced by Marok, who hung up a 521 total, and by Walozinski's high of 243, the Nats had no trouble gaining an edge on the Cowboys. The Nats bowled a total average of 165, which was only three pins less than the highest single game score made by Libbey, their cheif opponents The Bears obtained a total of 2479 pins to Libbey's 2051. Whitmer Wallopped Making up for their two former defeats, the Amerks emerged victorious with a three game win over Whitmer. The same five-man combination was used for all games. Bojanowski again took first place with a steady run of strikes that garnered him games of 160, 214, and 198, for a total of 572. Martin clinched second place with a total of 506, while Zielaskowski and Feltman placed third and fourth with games of 165, 177, 147, and 142, 190, 162, respectively.

Various Activities Available For Girlis Semester Play Activites available under the three divisions of sports for next semester's play in the girls' gym are basketball, volleyball, and softball, in the division of major sports, and square, folk and social dancing. Badminton, table tennis, paddle ten- nis, shuffle board, horse shoes, bowling, archery, and croquet may be chosen in the recreational field. Swimming and Bowling are also of- fered to the girls in seventh hour clas- es for a nominal sum. Any girl selecting one of the three fields or swimming or bowling will con- tinue that activity the rest of the year. Students' Transportation Arranged For Games at T. U. Do you enjoy walking in the wee frosty hours of the morning? No? Then you'd better add your name to the list of those who are taking advan- tage of the special bus service that has been arranged for all the remaining basketball games to be played at the Toledo University Field House. The crowds of rooters far exceeds the number of regular buses provided for transportation to town after the games. If you are smart, you will reserve a seat for yourself on the school bus. After the tournament games last year, there were many students who got buses to town from the University, but missed the last car to their respective homes. BEARS SWAMP CENTRAL, SCOTT TO GAIN TOP OF CAGE LADDER Copeland And Pryzbycz Are High Scorers In Opening Gamesg Woodward Ties With Waite, Libbey And DeVilbiss For First Place In a close, thrillpacked game, the Bear pack howled in triumph as they slammed Central 23-29 last Tuesday in the Toledo University Field House. Woodward bombed long shot after long shot at the opponents' basket ina des- perate endeavor to break the Irish's impenetrable zone defense, which they did in the last half. Less than five seconds after the open- ing whistle, a beautiful tip off play. Campbell to Copeland to Sahadi to Przybycz, netted two points, giving the Bears a slight lead. The two teams be- came engaged in a defensive battle with neither squad gaining the lead as they finished the quarter, 8-8. McFarland led the attack in the sec- ond stanza, hurling ball after ball in an attempt to score, for Blue and White were unable to break through the Cher- ry Streeters tough defense. Seeing its advantage in a flash, Central set its fast break into high gear and surged to the front to lead at the half 14-13. There wa s no stopping the Polar Bears when they came back on the Hoor. A quick goal by Pryzbycz took the Irish by surprise, and from then on Woodward began to steadily increase its margin, bounding back to thc top by a 24-17 score at the close of the third canto. Copeland sparked the last half rally, twisting and turning to score bucket after bucket. The Irish summoned their strength to a last minute rally, playing Woodward point for point. But the elev- en point lead in the third quarter proved Ego high a hurdle, so the game ended -23. Copeland was the outstanding player with nine points, followed by McFar- land, Campbell, and Pryzbycz each credited with six tallies. Jacobs led Central with six points. Woodward Central G: P. T. G.

The game was uneventful with Woodward steadily piling up points from the start- ing whistle. In a game marked by numerous fouls lor close guarding, the Bears tried out Hanham's shifting defense system which Scott found was a tough wall to break through. With Copeland evading the attack, Woodward led at the half time 17-8. During the last half, the zig-zaged back and forth between the two teams with the Polar Bear score steadily rising. Pryzbycz, Cope1and's running mate took over the leadership of the rally in the final canto to bang up eleven tallies. Scott's only appeared in the final minutes of play when little Kander shot four fieild goals to place as high point player of' the Langstaif men. Copeland paced the Bears with 12 points, closely followed by Pryzbycz's 11. Sahadi netted 7. 723 BEARS IN MIND Friday, January 19 Libbey vs Woodward. Post-basketball dance.

Woodward-Central Game Feature Event January 16 Because the January 30 game has been shifted up to January 16, Wood- ward will play Central next Tuesday at Toledo University Field house. Frank Buckely of the lBlade, Jack Senn of the Times, and Clyde Meek will select each week the contest which will be the greatest drawing card and call it the feature game. This will be second event of the evening. 'lhe Woodward-Central bout will be the feature game next Tuesday. J-Hop Causes Scott Game Time To Be Shoved Ahead In order to give basketball players an opportunity to attend the J-Hop, C. M. Meek, athletic director, has made arrangements with Coach Homer Hanham to advance the game with Scott, February 2, at least half an hour. This means that the varsity game will begin at 7:45 instead of 8:15, with the game ending at approximately 8:45. Players will be able to get in on the major portion of the prom, which starts at.9:00 p.m. Electric Scoreboard In Gym Checked By Eletrical Class Every season it is the job of A. R.Bit ter and his boys to see that the electric scoreboard in the gymnasium is in proper working order. This season it is being done by these boys: Nick Shemas, Sam Jenson, Gend Batesole, Bob Mund, Claire Dunn, Jim Kloster, and Rollin Shearer. A little wooden box with five push- buttons operates the whole scoreboard. One of the buttons did not make the right connection and had to be fixed. The bulbs in the scoreboard were all taken out of their sockets and the corrosion on all the bulbs had to be taken off. Be- tween each season the bulbs corrode and this corrosion has to be taken off by sandpapering the bulbs. Two electric clocks were fixed by Doc's boys. One clock, belonging to Mr. Art Smith, gym instructor, had to be cleaned. The other was cleaned and fixed and sent to Mrs. Mary O'Brien, it's owner. ...T. -...Q 'W' Girls To Usher Groups of girls who have already earned their Wls will ushers at the Libbey, Scott, and Waite games which will be p-layed at Woodward on January 19, February 2, and March 1, respect- ively. The usherettes at tonight's game with Libbey are Virginia Krulikowski, Betty Jane Roth, 1-lelen Konieczny, Shirley Keller, Margeret Muzelle, Anna Brona, Allaen Schnieder, Emily Nowak, and Dolores Kokocinski. Merit Paraders Watch the Blade school page for the familiar countences of their royalties the junior and sophomore presidents, Vernon Gribbin and Bernard Burns, who will appear in the merit parade on February 11, and March 11, respectively. Nick Shemas, the senior president, was cited in the January 12 issue ofthe Blade. BEARS TO BATTLE ' COWBOYS TONIGHT Victor Of Combat To Figure In Race For City Pennant One of the toughest games of the season will be played tonight when Woodward plays host to a topnotch Libbey Squad. Both teams are undefeat- ed, and each has a definite claim on the city title in this early stage of the sport. The Cowboys, as proven by former contests, show a good defensive system similiar to that of the Bears. They handle themselves in the same manner as Hanham's cagers, depending a great deal on short angle shots. In the past years, the two teams have split their two yearly gamesg 1937 saw the score Woodward 20, Libbey, 25, 1938, 16-25, 16-14g1939, 20-19, 23-26, and 1940,? If Woodward handles itself the way it did against Central, the Cowboys will find themselves on the short end of the score, for the Bears played a fine floor game. As a leading advantage, the Blue and White will play on its own lioor, and in previous years, this has proved to be the one slim deciding factor in a win between two evenly matched teams. But the score will be just a few points in difference. Both squads have played against Central, and the Hanham men have looked the better of the two, Libbey forged ahead in the last few minutes of play to win, while the Bears led from the third quarter on. The probable line-up will be Copeland and Pryzbycz, forwards, Cambell, centerg and McFarland and Sahadi, guards. Bus DeLuxe Demonstrated To Admiring Woodwardites No, it wasn't from Mari or just an il- lusion. This is meant to answer any question regarding the peculiar object which was parked near the service en- trance third hour Tuesday. It was the latest style charter bus be- ing displayed by the Toledo Community Traction Company. The bus also visited the University of Toledo where Dr. Clarence Spears, head coach, was taken for a spin deluxe. Principle C. C. LaRue, Mrs. M. D. Ersig, W. Rohr and Vernon Gribbon, Tattler Reporter, were treated to a facinating twirl around the block. While they re- laxed in the deep comfort of the seats Chester Henning, the bus driver, ex- hibited the many features of the in- terior. Buttons on the dash board control doors, individual lights, heater, radio and even the motor was thus operated. A collapsible seat near the emergency door provides a now crowded departure. To insure safety, a red light flickers if the rear luggage is tampered with, when the emergency door is opened or when the brakes are applied. The bus accommodates twenty-nine passengers and can be chartered for trips over twenty-five miles. James Smith of the Traction Company is in charge of the display. Bed Available If anyone is interested in a bed and mattress fora child up to six years of age, information regarding them may be obtained from Miss Grace Cronk, welfare director, in room 312. German Club Holds Dance Because it was impossible for the German Club to hold its annual dance, Der Weihnachstanzf' the members of the club held an afterschool dance, Snowball Frolic, Thursday, January 18. Alice Krawetzke was general chair- man, assisted by Doris Jean Coleman, Orlean Wintermantle, and Jack Ryan. Miss Annie Wetterman advises this group. THE WOODWARD TATTLER STUFF AND Ill NGS - -1 Hello again. This WSSC fsee last week's Tattlerj bringing you bits of breezy banter 'bout your buddies and best beaus. Bouquets, bye-the-bye, are being blown by us to our brilliant bas- ket ballers for batting balls in baskets and bringing brightness to boosters. QWe know what alliteration means, Mrs. McManamonD Have you noticed? Swede Widlund has his school ring back again. QThanks to Virginia Malaskaj On February 4, Woodward,Scott, and Clay high schools will be in charge of the first forum sponsored by the Hi-Y and Friendshis clubs of high schools in Toledo and surrounding towns. Revelation: Bud Bowman, sophomore, uses the name Bud because his real name is Thorton Alonzo. The cheer-leaders requested that we thank Principal LaRue through this column for their new uniforms. They look classy, don't they? It is rumored that Bill Miles and Louise Bokan have finally discovered that they were made for each other! Gus Arvanitis and his orchestra are becoming quite successful in their new careers. As you know, they are playing for our basketball dances and also are scheduled for an after-school dance at DeVilbiss. Ted Nowak, graduate of '39, enter- :gained students with his portable radio at the game Tuesday night. While we think of it, let's toss a few mental orchids in the general direction of our band, who did such a swell job of creating enthusiasm at the three basketball games Tuesday night. Majorie Sharer certainly has good reason to walk on air these days as she recently won 87.65 playing bingo at St. Vincent De Pau1's Church. But is she happy? No! Majorie only bemoans the fact that she had to share the 315.30 prize with another bingo winner. Wonder if there's a new romance a-brewing? It seems that Jack Ramer blushes deeply whenever the name of Ethel De Christopher is mentioned! Mrs. Kathryn Schuler's seventh hour English class is preparing questions in to Information Please. They are en- deavoring to win a set of encylopedias. By the looks of things at the Wood- ward-Central game, there is cause to believe that the Summers-Tate affair isn't entirely over. I-Iere's hoping that Bob Martin, junior, gets the best of the cash regis- ter presided over by Jim Ubelhart, WSPD radio announcer, on the Sunday night Quiz Bee program. Tune in on January 24, and keep your fingers crossed, as Bob will be Woodward's bid for honor. More grad news: Jane Weeks, '39, will be married to Louis Dydo, of Cleveland, onJanuary 27. Lucille Weeks, a junior at Woodward, will be a bridesmaid. The engagement of Virginia Winter and Lloyd Cates, both of '39, was announced recently. Janet Wozny and Jake Pryzbycz, one of our basketball s t a r s, have been hitting it off quite nicely lately. HERE YOU'LL MEET PRESIDENT LEVAN S She Is A Senior, With Blue Eyes And Blond Hair Doing things for other people is a hobby as well as a duty with Mildred Levans, blue-eyed president of the Red Cross. She is a senior, has blond hair, anld stands five feet and eight inches ta l. I like al mo s t everything that I undertake, declared Mild re d, but above all I enjoy the Red Cross and the work connected with it. Although this is her last year in the Red Cross, she intends to continue with social work. This prexy will leave Saturday morning with Mrs. Mary O'Brien, ad- viser ofthe Red Cross, for Findlay, Ohio, to attend the National Red Cross con- vention. At the meeting, Mildred will speak on International Correspondence, telling what Woodward is doingin this line such as sending albums, portfolios, letters,and gifts. This convention will de attended by geilegates from the various schools of lo. . GAME HI-LITES Scott Contest Copeland received a minor cut on his head when he leaped into the air for one of his one-handed tricky goal shots. It is thought that he hit himself against the lower rim of the backboard. When Coach Homer Hanham re' moved Copeland from the game in the second quarter fora few minutes, he must have whispered something power- ful into the forward's ear, for Copeland went out and swished seven points in succession a few seconds later. I I I Novel entertainment was offered be- tween the halves. Woodward was treat- ed to a tap dancing act and an Oh Johnny song by Scott girls. Central Fight Despite the scattering of the Wood- ward fans, the Bear cheer leaders brought forth yells until throats were hoarse. tNioe work boys!! Blue and White cagers held the crowd breathless with their superior ball hand- ling, while Central rushed around in a turmoil trying vainly to obtain posses- sion of the ball. POLAH BAYER Dear Noitall, I would like to know who Swede Widlund likes, and what his locker number is, and if he goes for sophs. Can you tell me all this? Try hard, M. P.

'MODERN AGE FREE YOUTH OF AMERICA' Reveals C. C. LaRueg Better Education Still Needed - C. C. LaRue When the Mosaic Law was given to the Hebrews, one of the outstanding commandments was Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee? This admonition stated in different forms, had been the cornerstone of ancient Chinese and Egyptian civilization. Down through the ages the respect for father and mother held families and even Empires together. However, like any device that is constructed to do a certain thing the observance, either forced or willing, of this commandment at the hands of cruel, unscrupulous or even thoughtless parents, worked hard- ships on the children. Following the ancient tradition, chil- dren upto the eighteenth century were mere chattels of their parents. Long be- fore the rights of a child to protection from a brutal parent were established there was a law to protect animals from cruelty. Indeed, the society for the Pro- tection of Children grew out of a case in which a child having been beaten severly by its father could get no re- dress in the local court although the same court imposed penalty upon any- one found guilty of beating a dog. Gradually laws have been enacted to protect children from bodily injury and from long hours of work in unsanitary surroundings. There still remains a great deal to do to fully emancipate our children. You boys and girls in Ohio are particularly fortunate in having free educational opportunities provided for you up to the age of eighteen years or through high school. In some of the other states the age limit is as low as fourteen years while the instructural force, the length of the school year, and the equipment for education are wholly inadequate. In other words, we shall never be really equal in the matter of opportunity until we have established a national system that will insure the same educational opportunities for the boys and girls of the United States, no matter whether they live in rural or urban communities or in Alabama or Ohio. Reserves Defeat Scott 21-19 But Lose To Central 29-23 The reserves had an easy time with the Scarlet and White, blocking them in a 21-19 game. Coach Dave McMurray sent in his 3 teams, the second and thirgd strings playing most of the last ha . Duke Potts led the cubs with 6 points, closely backed up by Lloyd and Marok, each with 4 points to his credit. Central Wins The cubs lost their second cage game last Tuesday when they suffered a 29-23 defeat at the hands of Central. High scoring by Skeldon and McQuillen, Irish forwards, was the mainstay of the Cent- ral quintet. Nolan Ryan, promising center, led the cubs with a total of ten points. Other high point men were Kornowa, Jackson, and Lloyd. The'reserves will swing into action to- night against the Cowboy five. BATUN WOODWARD TATTLER SEND Constantly, Consistently Constructive Vol. XII DIME Toledo, Ohio, January 26, 1940 NO- 26 TEACHERS PLACED ON CUP COMMITTEE Tattler Achievement Award Given To Outstanding Senior Pupil The Tattler Achievement Cup, which is presented annually to a Senior boy or girl for distinguished service to the school, will be presented again this year on Recognition Day. All seniors, with the exception of Tattler staff members, who have been in Woodward four years are elegible for this award. Distinguished service, both socially and scholastically, is the main factor in the decision of the selective group. The committee is chosen from the different departments of the faculty by the Tattler staff. Principal C. C. La Rue is committee chairman. Teachers assisting him are Miss Amie Miller, Mrs. Hazel McMan- amon, Miss Catherine McClure, Miss Marian McDonough, R. K. Sheline, Paul Lanke nau, and A. R. Bitter. Loretta Ingatowski received this hon- orary award last year. Presentation of the Michigan Plaque by the University of Michigan is an- other event that will take place at the same program. A senior boy who is outstanding in athletics and hasa high scholastic average will be chosen for this award. The name of the boy selected will be inscrided on the plaque which remains in the school's trophy case. C. C. La Rue heads this committee also. Homer Hanham, Art Smith, Jack Taylor, William Fetters, Clyde Meek, and Dave Mao Murray are also in this group. William Haifelder was the recipient of the plaque last year. Biology Students SUBJECT YEAST Plants To Cruelties Help! Help! Won't someone release the wild yeast which has been trapped in room 312? Heartless students have kidnapped it from the air for experi- menting purposes. After torturing hours under the microscope, the captive yeast will be forced to confess the work it does in bread making and' whether it contains alcohol and carbon dioxide. These potential murders are also us- ing the same treatment in their study of molds. They will reveal the beneficail eiiects of molds on the world. Do you realise that the elegant flavor and .in- toxicating aroma in limburger cheese is the direct effect of molds? Although cruel in some ways, the bi- ology students have their better side. Recently when Miss Goodale, science supervisor of Tolebo Schools, visited the classes, she complimented them on their good discipline. Add A Personal Touch Add a personal touch to your Saga. Have your name put on it in glittering gold. If your Saga is paid in full by February 1, this service will be given ree. Another Saga sales campaign was launched last Wednesday. Now is your opportunity to order a year book if you have not already done so. Tax Stamp Prnfit Because faculty members and stu- dents assiduously saved tax stamps for the school, Woodward received a check for 333.74 from the Department of Tax- ation. 31124.57 worth of stamps was accounted for by November 22 when the collection was reported. This money is to be turned over to the Miscellaneous Fund. Teachers and pupils are urged to continue to save their tax stamps for this purpose. RED CROSS STARTS BATON TWIRL PRESENTED MARCH 0F DIMES TONIGHT BY WOODWARD BAND Woodward To Join Nation 'PJ- In Fight Against Paralysis Mrs. Mary O'Brien The Junior Red Cross has volunteered to undertake the March of Dimes project at Woodward. Mildred Levans, president of the club, has a list of the teachers and the number of students in their homeroom classes. She along with other Red Cross members will assist in distributing the March of Dimes envelopes to every Woodward student today. When the envelopes, which will hold ten dimes, are filled, they will be sent to the March of Dimes headquarters on Madison Avenue. The money will then be sent to President Roosevelt to aid in his fight against infantile paralysis. Fifty percent of the money collected in the Toledo area is used in this com- munity for local paralysis victims. The other fifty percent goes to Washington where it will be distributed among doc- tors who are doing research work in an effort to find the cause of infantile paralysis. Orson Welles, well known radio dram- atist, stressed the importance of finding the cause of this disease by prophesy- ing that if it wasn't soon discovered this nation would be a nation ofcripples in the near future. Mrs. Mary O'Brien is the advisor of the club. Principal LaRue Presents First Book To New Library The Toledo Kiwanis Club, of which C. C. LaRue is a member, presented the first book to the new Toledo Public Library. Mr. LaRue had the honer of making the presentation and speech. The book was a large unabridged Web- ster dictionary. After the ceremony the club toured the building. This year the organization is celebrat- ing its twenty-fifth anniversary. Mr. La- Rue has been a member for eleven years. Biology Instructors Attend Conference At Michigan U. Mrs. Mary O'Brien, Miss Mary Boyles' and Miss Katherine Tobin attended the conference on instructional and curri- culum problems at the School of Education in the University of Michigan last Saturday. Vocabulary difficulties and the terri- ble penmanship of some high school students were discussed at this conference. A Detroit man declared that many boys, who could attain success in the industrial world, are very seriously handicapped by not being able to write. Because of this handicap no one would employ them. Doctor Francis D. Curtis, author of the biology textbook used by Woodward students, was one of the speakers. Students Not In Favor Of Shattering Old Tradition Will the history of Woodward be revolutionized? Will our whole school week be changed? Will the world come to an end? Will the Tattler henceforth come out on Monday instead of Friday? ............The answer is NO! Students enjoying their study periods were confronted with making this de- cision during the week. Since sales were as good or better than usual when the paper came out last Monday, the Tattler thought perhaps the school would pre- fer a Monday edition. However, most upils rallied to the defense of tradition. Qlotes for Friday tallied up to 602, defied by only 305 for Monday. Freshmen in 124, first hour, had radi- cal ideas and favored Monday 26 to 2, while the second hour poll of all study halls put Monday in the lead 115 to 111. Sophomores in 309, sixth hour, also voted for Monday 21 to 16. However, with such counts as 80 to 3, 44 to 6, 49 to 0, and other similarly over- whelming, Friday favorers defeated the Liberals two to one. LEARN DOG DANCE In view of the future events, the J-Hop and the Senior Prom, the Tattler will endeavor to explain an interesting and not too complicated dance step.Today's maneuver was introduced in the girls' dancing classes last week by Miss Cath- erine Wehrle, practice teacher from Toledo University, and is presented from the gentleman's view of la dance. fGirls should merely reverse feet.J Assume regular dance positiong right arm about girl's waist, left hand holding her right one. On first beat, by gentle pressure of finger tips on her waist, turn girl half way about C so that you're side by side keeping your arm about her and still holding her hand.J Simultaneously, put your left foot behind your right. The GIRL puts her right foot a step behind her left. Unless you want to break your right ankle, you will have to pick that mem- ber up and put it down in a more com- fortable positiong do so on the second beat. On the third beat, return to original position and hesitate for one beat. 1 Sounds like making a cake, doesn't it?J Now for the next movement. While hesitating, look over right shoulder, and on next beat, take one glide with right foot following direction pointed by nose. 53Yes, you should be going backwardsj ross the left foot over the right and glide again on the right foot. Hesitate and begin all over again. GIRL glides on left foot, crosses right over left, glides again on left, hesitates .,......,...........finis. Now isn't that simple? Or isn't it? Let's call this The Dogs Cross. fFrankly, we don't know the real name of the step.j --llii Thank You Total 593.94 was made onthe P.T.A. card party held before vacation. E. L. Clark and his committee deserve a vote of thanks for their work. Seniors Hold Meeting A comedy dance by the Mystery Dancers was the chief attraction at the senior class meeting held yesterday. Clifton Manore rendered several saxo- phone solos. The meeting was adjourned with the singing of Oh, Johnny and the National Anthem by the entire class. Clifton Manore, vice-president, ar- ranged the program. Reemsnyder's Orchestra To Furnish Music Guy V. Sutphen Woodwardites will swing and sway to the music of Jimmie Reemsnyderys orchestra at the Baton Twir1, an even- ing dance sponsored by the Woodward band, which will be given in the girls' gym tonight at 8.30. Amid blue and white streamers overhead and blue silhettes on the window curtains, the dancers will dreamily move through the latest steps until 11 p.m. Alice Krawetzke, general chairman of the affair, is aided by the following student committees: May Van Klin- geren, William Stein, and Chester Zack, orchestra, Bernard Burba, Dan Winar- ski, Edgar DuBois, Penny Smith, Betty Taylor, Lois Horner, and Bill Hunter- brinker, decorationsg Philip Evans, Dorothy Samelak, and Florence Dunn, checkingg Jack Stenberg, and Mary Ann Whitehill, tickets, Bob King, Virgina Striggow, and Bob Blank, refreshmentsg and LaVerne Brigham, Audrey Higgins, and Jim Furcorn, programs. Guests of honor for the occasion are Mr. and Mrs. C. C. LaRue, Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Sutphen, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Rohr, Miss Amie Miller, Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Sheline, Miss Annie Wetter- man, and James Sutphen. Acting as chaperons for the evening will be the parents of the members of the band. Tickets for the dance may be pur- chased from any band member or to- night at the door. .lT Committee On Graduation Discusses Senior Services Roy Timmons, Phyllis Hendrickson, Bill Hunterbrinker, Dorothy Urbanow- ski, Sam Laderman, Millie Hall, and James Kloster, members ofthe gradua- tion committee, have been meeting with commencement announcement salesmen during part of the second and third hours every day this week. The group is also discussing the place and speaker for baccalaureate services. Nation-Wide Essay Contest Open To Woodward Students A nation-wide essay contest, The Benefits of Democracyf, is being sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars and is be- ing conducted through the English classes.

In view of the recognition the band has received throughout the city, we should support their dance and help the worthy cause they are promoting. Let's all attend! It Isn't Worth It N THE NIGHT before exams, it is a common last resort of many students to attempt to cram into their minds the things that have been taught in class the preceding semester.Not only is this usually futile, but it is also harmful to the eyes and physical make-up of a pupil. He cannot really appreciate and understand the sub- ject by so doing. One may learn the facts by cramming, but they are more easily forgotten. No student can hope to absorb all the information taught during a ten week period in a few short hours and geta comprehensive idea of it. So come on, kids, you'1l profit in the end by doing a bit more work in class and less cramming before the big test. .-....... .l. We Can Stop It INCE THE REOPENING of school January 2, there have been too many loiterers in Wood- ward's corridors. For a time, visitor passes were issued, but this plan has been abused. Except for those who have legitimate reasons for remaining in the building after the close of school, the halls must be cleared of students by 3:00. If you have friends who have no business being in Woodward, but frequent the building, tell them that they must discontinue this practice. Woodwardites, we do not want to bring dirgrace upon our school by forcing the organization of an after-school teacher patrol or the calling in of outside authority to rid our halls of this nuisance. If we all cooperate, we can prevent this problem from becoming an issue. -. iii Afraid? Absolutely Not! LL WOODWARD students aren't looking for the easy way out! About twenty-five algebra n III pupils asked for a class of algebra IV, which is no snap course. Mrs. Eula Upp, math instructor, and C. C. LaRue decided that this wasalarge enough number to make a class worth while. It has been a long time since this subject has been taught here. This proves that some Woodward students do want the harder and more advanced studies. Let's all choose our courses wisely and not join the easier classes just to get by.

THF WOODWARD TATTLER AMERICANS BLANK CENTRAL FOR TWO Nats Falter In Stride When They Drop A Pair To Irish Two championship teams tasted de- feat for the first time last Saturday. In the National league, Woodward drop- ped two at the hands of the Irish, and in the American League, Central's con- fident team was handed their first two losses at the hands of the Amerks. Although these defeats lower the rating of both teams, the Bears still lead the National league, and Central retains American league honors. Durka's games of 199-189-177 and Marok's 504 total were the leading factors in the Nat's lone victory when they nosed out Central 826-718. Amerks Victors Led by Kerwin with games of 162-167- 189, the Amerks recovered from the loss of the first game and swamped Central for the remaining two games. Zielaskowski grabbed second place when he rolled out a three game total of 514. Feltman placed third with games of 157-181-171. These latest victories put the Amerks in second place. Another loss by Central would probably boost the Bears into first place. Tomorrow both teams battle with the Waite Indians. The individual scores are: National American Wallace 157 135 153 Feltman 157 181 171 Zychowycz 157 126 187 Martin 15-1 159 125 McMahon 157 96 118 Kerwin 162 167 189 Marok 165 161 170 Zielaskowskil54 186 174 Durka 190 189 179 Bojanowski 168 173 162 826 715 807 715 866 821 Aviation Club Wins Game In one ofthe fastest and most skillful games of sport, the Woodward Aviation Society hockey team defeated the Point Place Rockets by a score of 10 to 5. Mr. Lawrence Nuber refereed the game on some of the slickest ice in the Maumee Bay and Bud Berdue paced the winners with 5 goals to his credit. Johnny Sackman slammed home 3 counters while Joe Danko and Bob Blank marked up one point a piece. The game was played Thursday, January 18. Girl Scout Troop Number 82 Enters Radio Script Contest St. Vincent de Paul Girl Scout Troup, number 82, is entering a contest spon' sored by Girl Scout Headquarters.

To the troup acknowledged by the most post cards there will be a grand prize of three camperships to the Girl Scout camp, Oamp Libbey, to be used next summer. Other prizes to be award- ed include twenty-five dollars, fifteen dollars, and ten dollars. Leo Robie Special Interviewer On Rossford Record Paper Leo Robie, faculty member, fills the position of special interviewer on the Rossford Record, a weekly newspaper which began its circulation about two months ago. Two articles written by Mr. Robie ap- pear in each edition. Economics, educa- tion, politics, and the life history of the person being interviewed are some of the subjects upon which Woodward's Polish instructor writes. I think this work is very interesting, and through it one gets to know people and their characters, stated Mr. Robie.

Miss Catherine Wherle, of Toledo University, finished her practice session at Woodward this week. Miss Wherle taught dancing classes in the girls' little gym. l t I No girls' intra-mural today. The gym is being decorated for the Baton Twirl. I C I Gloria Weaver led the girl bowlerettes last Friday with the high score of 172. Miss Catherine McClure, gym instruc- tor, bowled her highest score of the season, 214. Kindergarten Rule Essential To Halt Growth of Diseases Food is the best medium for the growth of disease germs, declared Miss Hazel Coy, school nurse. Many students while waiting in line in the cafeteria forget to cover their mouths and carelessly cough on the food, thus infecting it with the cold virus. Remember the simple rule you were taught way back in kindergarten. Cov- er your mouth with your hand or a handkerchief when coughing or sneez- ing. You are safe only when standing eight feet away from a person who is coughing. Since it is impossible for you to car- ry your toothbrush and tooth-paste to school with you, rinsing your mouth with cold water after lunch will prevent the growth of germs in the mouth. . To Attend Lecture Bill Stein will attend the Town Hall lecture Saturday, January 27, at which Thomas Mann, who is an exile from Germany, will speak. Bill was selected by Miss Annie Wetterman, German instructor. Richard Sheline, freshman, has been chosen by Miss Annie Wetterman to attend the Thomas Mann lecture on January 27. U I O The strains of Yankee Doodle and Loch Lomond are issuing from the portals of Miss Dorothy Warners class- room. The kids are not getting away with any foolishness though, they are being taught rhythm. Joe Latus and Pegg Cowden enjoy being together. Do you know what I mean? 0 I U Torteas, Mexican bread and Mexican rice are just a few of the delicious foods prepared and eaten by Miss Blanche Hazelton's home economics classes. f Each day a meal is planned and pre- 1 pared. Sounds appetizing! Doesn't it? Woodward To Tackle Tigers 1 In Important City Battle ' Who will topple among the first place , leaders in the city basketball race? This will be decided tonight when Woodward tackles DeVilbiss in the opponents' I gym. Up to date, Waite, DeVilbiss, and Woodward compose a three-way tie for league honors. The unexpected overthrow of a strong Libbey squad 18-11 proves that the Tigers have something on the ball and will have to be reckoned with. In the past years, the Bears and De- Vilbiss have split their two yearly games with the 1937 scores as follows: Woodward 28, DeVilbiss 33, Woodward 17, DeVilbiss 16. ln 1938, the outcome was 29-235 24-413 and in l939,25-28, 30-28- Last year, a mighty Tiger squad de- feated the Blue and White in the dist- rict play-off to represent Northwestern Ohio at Columbus. The contest will be a close affair, with , Woodward given the odds for a win. The Tigers' big threat will be their lanky center,McClure, who has led the scoring attack in previous games. All of the Hanham men are in the peak of condition and should prove Wood- ward's superiority. The starting line-up will probably be Pryzbycz and Copeland as forwards, Campbell, center, and Sahadi and Mc- Farland, guards. Results Of Team Play ' Six freshman intra-mural teams battled it out on the gym floor last Thursday at 2:45. The Trojans won over the Pencil Pushers by forfeit, while the Wildcats nosed out the General Shop 11 to 10. The Yankees swamped the Falcons 43 to 2. Sheline was the top scorer with 16 points and Henry scored the Falcons' only goal. Girls' Intra-Mural Shedule For Coming Week Diclosed The girls' intra---mural volleyball schedule for next week is as follows: Tuesday, Jan. 30 Flying Sophomores vs Jim Jam Jumps Varsity Cubs vs Renaissance Hep Heppers vs Solid Ten Bombers vs Woodward Knights Wednesday, Jan. 31 Flying Sophomores vs Polar Bears Bombers vs Blue and White Stars Jumpin Jives vs Jitterbngs Flashes vs Solid Ten Thursday, Feb. 1 Flashes vs Blue and Whites Woodward Wizards vs All Stars Bombers vs Jim Jam Jumps Woodward Bears vs Varsity Cubs Because of the invitation for all G.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER DANCE CHAIRMAN ANSWERS QUERIES Chairman Alice Krawetzke, Reaveals Tranquil Nature Say, is this a discovery! We have finally discovered one of those peaceful individuals who has nothing about which she wants to complain. When goaded into commenting on her favorite gripe, Alice Krawetzke, chairman of the Baton Twirl, admitted everything was all right. Alice was born in Sandusky, Ohio, seventeen years ago, and came to Toledo at an early age. She attended Spring school for her elementary school educa- tion. Dancing, at which she is very adept, and playing tenor saxophone in the band as hobby. Proving her versa- tility and domesticity, this p re tty femme also cooks and sews. Alice is a senior this year, and after graduating, would like to attend a beauty college. Along with this, she hopes to get a position in a dance band. Being secretary-treasurer of the band, a member of the Zetalethean Lit- erary Society and German Club, she finds her time well-occupied. As chairman of the Baton Twir1, Alice stated, I think the band members are supporting this dance splendidly, as it is their first attempt in promoting an affair of this kind. I hope Woodward will back us up. With a shy smile which revealed beautiful teeth, Alice excused herself from this reporter that she might not be late for her German class. ..l.l...l.-.- Shop Students Construct Insulated Food Containers Ted Grabowski, Dan Jackson, and Melvin Ely, students in Joy E. Mohrhart's shop classes are con- structing two insulated steam boxes which will be used at the lunch counters to keep buns, hamburgers, and hotdogs warm. These containers are made from sheet metal with soldered corners. They are about 24 X 18 X 6 inches with three openings in the top for trays which will be filled with hot water to keep the food warm. Insulation has improved these boxes that were incapable of holding heat. Near the bottom on one corner is a faucet used for draining out the cold water. Woodward G. A. L.

As an economy measure ofthe Board of Education, all substitute teachers will be dismissed at the end of the se- mester. By aiding with the J-Hop dancing classes and supervising half of the Freshman Friendship Club, Mrs. Dinius has shown more interest in the social life of the school than the usual substitute teacher. Because I had taught sophomore history classes last year, I was only too glad to return this year and see how much my sophmores had grown up'l7 Mrs. Dinius added that she is sorry to leave Woodward because of the cooperation and friendliness she has met here. The history classes of the late Miss Rosella Woodrich were taken over by Mrs. Dinius last year, because of the death of Miss Mable Rutan, she had charge of of the American history and civics classes during the better part of this semester.

Woodward Booster ER NAME is seldom associated with successes of J -Hops or Senior Proms, simply because she stands in the background, acclaiming no credit what-so-ever for these occasions. However, the con- tinuous successes of these proms for the last few years has been due largely to the talks on Prom Eti- quette, delivered annually to the junior and senior classes by Miss Blanche Hazelton, Home Economics instructor. .. Let's Do Better EBRUARY 5 is the time to stop sleeping and get into action! If you've not been up to par this semester, you can geta new start and really do something. Why wait for the teachers to hound you before you do your homework? Too many of us let home- work slide, and then wonder why we haven't learned much when it comes time for tests. The end of the semester is no time to begin craming. It is much easier to start from the be- ginning and work straight through until the end. Let's show everyone that we can stand on our own two feet and get to work. We Don't Like Sneaks URING THE J-Hop dancing classes, some fellows who didn't sign petitions tried to sneak in the rear door of the girls' gym. When the two boys who were guarding the door would not admit them, they tried to get in by threats of, I'll see you after school. Those who wanted to dance should have bought a J-Hop ticket and entered in a legitimate way. If students try to crash the gaten again, they are likely to meet with more forceful measures. Popular Fallacy Disproved ISINFORMATION IS the causeof malicious gossip. St u d e nt s are criticising teachers because they fail to have supervised study during class periods. Class periods are too short for instructors to stop recitation and help pupils with homework. If the class periods were lengthened, this system would be practical in Woodward. Supervised study offers many advantages, and freshman science classes have found time for this practice in the period. However, until class hours are extended, we must do our best without the teachers' assistance. PRINCIPAL POINTS 1 worth Longfellow lived in the same com- ' 'i l A munity. They were lifelong friends. it ' Emerson was a noted essayist and phil- , osopher and Longfellow was America's greatest poet. In 1882 Longfellow died and Emerson,who survived him but one month, was brought into the room where Longfellow was lying in his casket. The giant intellect of Emerson had faded. Physically weak he spent his days some times quite rational and at other times aiilicted with a failing memory. As he looked down into the face of his old friend he said, The gentleman lying there was a sweet and kindly soul, but I do not know his name. This is not told as an example of the frailty and weakness of all human minds but as one ofthe tri- umphs of our good or evil works aside from our phys- ical being. Emerson had forgotten the name of his dearest friend, but he had not forgotten his splendid character and attributes. Why should one be ambi- tious for fame or notoriety? After all the only en- during things are our kindly unselfish deeds. Names are forgotten, our character lives and becomes a part of the great infinity. What more could we wish said of any one of us when we are gone but His name is forgotten, his good deeds live on. .C f .

Kenneth Zimmerman THE WOODWARD TATTLER SCOTT, OPPONENT TO BEARS' MARGIN Woodward To Meet Bulldogs Tomorrow Night Here When the Blue and White cagers meet the Bulldogs from Scott tomorrow night in the former's gym, they will begin the second half of their schedule, holding first place in the city's cage league. Although the Bears rode to an easy 46-27 win over the Scotters to open the season, the latter has gained confidence by edging Macomber 25-24 in last Tues- day's encounter. The Bulldogs now occupy sixth place in the High school standing, neverthe- less they have shown much improve- ment in both their scoring attack and defensive work. Woodward must not underestimate the coming team, for they have displayed considerable fight in re cent contests. ' Coach Hanham has developed some efficient reserve material, and along with the fact that the Blue a n d White play on the home floor, this should have a great deal to do with t he final outcome. For the Bears, the probable starting line up will be Copeland and Pryzbycz at forewards, Campbell at center, and Haddad and McFarland at guards. The reserve game has been moved up and will begin at 6:30, with the varsity game beginning at approximately 7:30. The p la y e r s will then have time to attend the annual J-Hop. Girls To Usher Nine girls will usher tomorrow night or the Woodward - Scott basketball game which will be played in the Wood- ward gym. The usherettes, who will be dis- tinguished by white sweaters and blue W's, are Virginia Krulikowski, Dorothy Kincaid, Mary Taylor, Jerry Kolasinski, Helen Kanarowski, Dorothy Summers, Lucille Duszynski, Florence Widlund, and Lois Roth. G. A. L. Presents Mrs. Stella Harre With Picture As Gift In appreciation of Mrs. Stella Harre's long service in Woodward, the Girls' Athletic League presented her with a picture, Ballet Dancing, as a going awayn gift at a meeting of the members last Tuesday after school in the auditorium. Mrs. Harre, who has been an instructor in the girls' gym since Woodward was built, will supervise the activities at the Girls' Vocational High School beginning next semester. WOODWARD LOSES VALUABLE FRIEND Mrs. Stella Harre Leaves To Teach At Vocational School Mrs. Stella Harre Woodward loses a valuable friend and teacher when Mrs. Stella Harre leaves to take a position as gym instruc- tor at Girls' Vocational next semester. Mrs. Harre, who had worked side by side with Miss Catherine McClure for 12 years, specialized in the dancing and swimming classes. Although she hates to leave Wood. ward and the pleasant associations she has made, Mrs. Harre is looking for- ward to teaching where the group is smaller and there is more chance for individual work. No definite program has been decided yet, since the girls are to express there needs and desires in gym work. Their are two gyms at Vocational, a shower room, individual showers, and according to Mrs. Harre, it's a very nice set-up. Frosh Blank DeVilbiss 17-153 Are Defeated By Libbey 12-8 The freshmen basketball team troun- ced DeVilbiss 17-15 Friday, but tasted defeat at the hands of the Libbey Cow- boys Tuesday to the tune of 12-S. Woodward was leading at the half- time of both games by respective scores of 6-5 and 7-3. Ralph Roe topped the Bear scorers with 9points in the DeVilbiss fray, while scoring was evenly divided in the Libbey encounter. One victory against two defeats is the record held by the freshmen thus far this season. AMERKS, NATS TIED FOR 1 .gm , Q fl 1 If fa 3' ' .313 .aus-. J -ff ,,..- 3 i Q... 7 f I at Ed Durka Downing Waite all three games, the American pxnsters jumped into a three way tie with Central and DeVilbiss. Each team has won nine and lost three games. The Nats, however, were hand- ed two more defeats by the Indians, but the lone win of the Bears kept them in first place. High bowling by Kerwin of the Americans, 165-230-219, gave him high- est honors for the day with a total of 614 pins. Feltman also broke the 500 mark when he rolled out games of 147- 186-196. Bojanowski placed third witha, FIRST IN BOWLING RACE total of 482. The Amerks overcame the Indians by more than 200 pins each game. Nats Stumble The Nats, recovering from their first defeats, managed to down Waite in the last game by 30 pins. Steady bowl- ing by McMahon and Marok garnered them games of 170-141-152 and 131-163- 148, respectively. Wolasinski placed first with a three game total of 481. Durka, arriving late, bowled games of 177 and 175. Next Saturday's games will be the deciding factors in the Bears' leads. The Amerks must defeat their opponents at least two games. The Nats must win all three games to make their leads descisive. Individual scores are as follows: National American Wolasinski 148 185 148 Feltrnan 147 186 196 Zychowicz 114 Rzadecki 157 122 162 Zientek 130 116 141 Kerwin 165 230 219 McMahon 170 141 152 Zielask'ski l2l 168 164 Marok 131 163 148 Bojanowski 179 166 137 Durka 177 175 693 782 764 769 872 878 REAR T KE 0 ER LEAD SMASH LIBBEY AND DEVILBISS TO LEAD RACE IN FIRST ROUND 4 K CUBS TAKE TIGERSQ SUBMIT TO LIBBEY Lacking coordinating team work, the Woodward Reserves bowed to Libbey 16-30 last Tuesday in the school gym. Scoring was evenly divided, for Coach Dave Mac Murray was sending in various players in an attempt to iinda working combination. Kornowa, Seymour, Ryan, Brent, Marok, McKenzie, and Myneder saw most of the action. Cubs will meet Scott Friday. All Bowling Coaches To Vote On Ways To Revise Schedule To make up for the three weeks of bowling lost during vacation, bowling coaches will be asked to vote on one of the three following measures that the Blade has suggested to make up for lost time. 1. The three weeks of bowling will be made up at the end of the scheduled season.This will mean that bowling matches will extend into April. 2. A second way to make up the difference is to hold two of the matches on the two days vacation in February and the remaining game at the end of the season. 3. The third way is to drop the three games entirely, and carry on the regular schedule uninterrupted. These three measures were voted on by both leagues at their regular meet- ings last Wednesday and Thursday. Results of the voting will be announced during the matches this Saturday. Camera Club To Hold Second Meeting Monday, February 5 Because of the small attendance at the first meeting of the Camera Club held last Tuesday night in room 326, it was decided to hold another me ting Mon- day, February 5. The reason for thensmall attendance was due to the mistake in the bulletin which invited boys instead of students. Girls are also invited to join the group. The students that appear for the Monday meeting of the organization will be con sidered pledges ofthe group. At this time, officers will be elected. A committee will be appointed to write the by-laws of the club. The purpose of the group is to further acquaint pupils in the use of the camera. O. M. Thompson is adviser of the club.

A majority of the Wood- ward cars do not possess Polar Bear stickers. fAnd to think that they only cost a nickel.J Mr. Hanham would like to see more loyal Woodwardites possessing stick- ers during the basketball season. fAfter all we are tied for first place and now have something to be proud of.J man with 11, followed closely by Pryz- bycz's 10. Messerle, of DeVilbiss tallied 8 marks. Tigers Bow Coming from behind in the third quarter, the Woodward lightweights stopped a fighting Tiger team 22-19 at DeVilbiss last Friday night. Paced by Kornowa with 10 points and by Myneder with 8, the Bears displayed that fight which won them second place among the city reserve teams. The contest was an evenly-fought af- fair Both squads were tied 7-7 at the end of the first quarter, with DeVilbiss forg- ing ahead in the second canto 12-7. Wood- ward led during the rest of the game. Homer Hanham Before a hysterical crowd, Woodward and Libbey battled it out for athletic supremecy 28-24, with the Polar Bears retaining the league leadership by one game. In a contest marked by numer- ous fouls and spills, the score rocked from team to team until the final minutes of play, when scoring spurts by Copeland and Pryzbycz netted the fight for the Blue and White. McFarland started off the Bear scor- ing in the first quarter, but an alert Libbey man-to-man defense prevented Woodward's forwards from breaking in for angle shots. Led by the Gardener- Holden combine, the Cowboys lost no time and banged off the Bear basket for a 9-2 score. The second canto displayed two teams in a fighting duel, with Wood- ward stepping up it's pace, yet not fast enough, to end the half 13-11. Second Half Triumph A mighty Polar Bear machine swung into high gear in the third stanza, coming from behind both in moral and scoring ability, to sweep the play into Libbey territory, and to lead the South Siders for the first time. From then on, the Blue and White slowly forged into a bigger margin with Libbey desperately striving to even the count. Holden of the South Siders in- itiated a one man rally but failed to lift Libbey's total to the Bear level. Copeland was high point man of the Blue and White with 11, with Pryzbycz following with 9 marks. Holden of Libbey totaled 13 points and Gardner made 4. The individual scoring is as follows: Woodward Libbey G F T G F T Copelandf 5 111 Chicolinif 1 1 3 Pryzbyczf 4 1 9 Holdenf 5 813 Campbellc 1 0 Z Trumbullc 1 1 3 Haddadg 0 1 1 Mooreg 0 0 0 Sahadig 0 0 0 Gardinerg 2 0 4 McParlandg 2 1 5 Esmondg 0 1 1 Totals 12 428 9 624 DeVilbiss Downed DeVilbiss collapsed beneath Wood- ward's deadly onslaught last Friday 31- 19 in the opponents' gym. By rebuffing the Tigers, the Polar Bears marched into first place in the city race. Before the Orange and White could get their bearings in the first quarter, Copeland shot the initial Held goal in less than two minutes of opening play to give the Hanham men the lead, which they held all evening. The Bears out- played the Tigers during the whole con- test, for DeVilbiss only feebly threaten- ed in the third quarter. In the second stanza, Woodward swung into stride and peppered the enemy basket to a tune of 18-7 at the end of the half. Strengthened by the intermission pe- riod DeVilbiss came back with a bang in the third canto. Snappy goals by Messerle and McClure brought the two teams closer by a score of 24-16 at the end of the third canto. The Tigers' scoring sp ree swung them into the final qu a rt er, but it faded as the Bears stiffened their de- fense and kept their margin intact.

Bob was president of his class last year and is active in the French, Hi-Y, and Municipal clubs.

His favorite orchestra is Glenn Miller and The Little Brown Jug rates tops in musical selections. ' It is rumored that Bob dotes on Dan Cupid. Evidence of his work includes the many exclusive couples around Woodward's corridors. Although his favorite color is green, he is not escorting a freshman to the J-Hop, but rather is dating Donn a Clouse, junior. Bob was sixteen January 4, and is a graduate of Sherman Grade School.

FAMOUS LECTURER TALKS ON FREEDOM Thomas Mann Speaks Here As Guest of Town Hall Series i..-i Thomas Mann, an exile from Germany recognized as the world's greatest living man of letters and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929, spoke last Saturday at the Town Hall series on the subject The P r o b l e in of Freedom. Democracy can survive, declared the great man of literature, only where there is voluntary limitation of freedom or anarchy will result. He said that Hitler is an enemy of mankind. When other countries tried to come to a agreement with the Reichstag- they found it utterly impossible to bring him to suitable terms. The tragedy of the German people is that they have no political sense, spendj ing their lives in the pursuit of science, culture, and music, so that they were prey to such a demagcgue as Hitlerf' stated the lecturer. The author expressed his oppinion that the German people would have no freedom until they were rid of Hitler. As to the United States' part in the conflict, Dr. Mann thinks it should re- main at peace, but give its moral and economic support to the allies. Richard Sheline, selected by Miss Annie Wetterman, German instructor, attended the lecture. Lawrence Nuber Acquires Jobs For Three Students Lawrence Nuber, auto mechanics teacher, has acquired jobs for three of his former pupils. Through the efforts of Mr. Nuber, Lawrence Baley, a former pupil in the auto mechanics class, was given a job at the Globe Tire Company. Albert Parker, also a grad, now has a job in an East Toledo Hi-Speed gas st a t i o n. Bud Miller was given a job at the Welever Piston Company. Each of these fellows greatly appreciate these jobs and are highly qualified for them. Mr. Nuber has been canvassing vari- ous factories throughout towu and has promises from them for first choice on opening. This teacher expects to get a number of jobs for boys from this years' class. Boys with the highest grades are given this consideration. A CLEAN SLATE W New R X Q X .'.1'9 I I PULAH BAYER QI thrive on fan mail and correspond- ence.

Next insert the straw until the end is about one half inch from the bottom of the bottle. Now you may proceed to drink until a funny little noise indicates that the bottle is empty. 3. Remove the cap and straw and throw them in a waste basket. Place the empty bottle in a case and gracefully leave the scene. Under no conditions ever push the finger through the cap, and be sure the hole is there when you insert the straw. If these simple directions are followed we personally guarantee that the num- ber of cafeteria calamities will diminish.

George Rohrer CHAIRMAN OF PROM REVEALS AMBITION Senior Of Many Interests Modernizes Old Fairy tale Beauty and the test tube! Jeanne Rydman, chairman of the Co-Ed Prom, givesamodern slant to an old fairy tale when she reveals that her am' bition is to be a laboratory technician- There have been eleven previous Co- Ed Proms, and they have all been suc- cessful. This year will be no exception, dogmatically stated this sprightly sen- ior. School activities provide Jeanne with an outlet for an abundant supply of vi- tality. She is on the program committee for the senior class, belongs to the Zets, Alchemists, Honor Society, and is vice president of the French club. Dual characteristics also help to constitute Jeanne's broad intersets. Ravel's Bolero is her favorite bit of music, while fireman red is her choice in colors. When asked if she has had any dras- tic accidents lately, Jeanne related any one, which happened when trying out her new ice skates. fSelf--explanatoryj Your reporter refuses to expose the fact that Jeanne, with the azure eyes and dusky hair, wants C. B., a T. U. fresh- man, for her valentine. You'll have to ask someone else. --- l Picture Of The Week Down the Mississippi, by Eddie Gasarowski, is a picture full of interest and bound to hold the observer's attention for some time. While much detail is shown, it all seems necessary to the composition, and is painted in a direct manner, with understanding. Eddie is very talented, and has a natural feeling for composition. He also possesses a fine perception of color values. - U.S. Navy Donates Uniforms And Sailboat To Sea Scouts Sea Scouts of the Sea Scout Ship Constitution are receiving a donation of a 26 foot sailboat and regular sailor uniforms for each member of the ship. The ten scouts in this ship, are: George Aubry, Harry Pugh, Bill Marti, Bill Barber, Paul Hawk, Paul Cramer, Addison Martin, James Davis, George Sanderson, Richard Mahalick. Their skipper is R. A. Markee, an ex-Wood- wardite. Although most of the crew are Woodwardites, the meetings are held at Spring School. FAMOUS NEWSMAN, LECTURER REPORTS Large Town Hall Audience Enthused By Snyder Frederick Snyder, often called the Verbal Newspaper, was the guest speaker at the Town Hall meeting Saturday morning Feburary 3. The lecture was attended and reported by Jean Doglas, senior. if lk Pk The man who has the ability to give tomorrow's newspaper today, traveled 70,000 miles in 1939, and so far, 1500 miles each week in 1940. I O l Mr. Snyder made his speech, which concerned the big news stories behind the current headlines, colorful by as- suming dialects of French, English, Jewish, Chinese, Negro, and Russian to illustrate his many true stories. g s 4 According to him, the rarest thing in a newspaper is a fact, and an individual who believes all he reads in a news paper is as big a fool as an individual who can't read at all. Remember, ideals are never damaged by facts, ideas are damaged by facts. Don't dismiss thinking by saying, Oh that's just propaganda. if il' ,F Waris run on wheels, and wheels take oil. You can count on the Allies winning the war because they have the oil. I i O The thing that is inevitable is peace, not war. We don't wanta justice confer- enceg we want one of charity, forebear- ance, and mercy. U f U War never decides who's right--- only who's left. u e o Most important news work today is 'food.' The people are too numerous to feed too poor to tax. 65 per cent ofthe people on this earth went to bed hungry last night. l U U This is not a war of hate. People don't hate their fellow-men. It is simply a lust for victory. I l 9 Mr. Snyder concluded by saying, Please don't fear death---fear life. People are dying around us all the time. The question is, what are we going to do with life? ..l..i. Reverend S.C. Michaelfelder To Speak To Student Body The Reverend S. C. Michaelfelder, pastor of St. Pau4's Lutheren Church, will be the Hrst in a series of three lenten speakers to address the Wood- ward student body during the lenten season. He will speak February 13, on The Greatest Crime in History. The Senior Friendship Club is sponsoring this program. Two other clergymen will speak on February 27 and March 5. Students To Participate In National Defense Program The oral expression class, with the aid of Clarence Ball and the Glee Club, will present a program conversant with National Defense Week, on February 23. At this program, of which Isadore Yourist is Chairman, the Pond Post Auxiliary will present two American flags to the school. In addition to this, members of the Glee Club will render several selections, and students in the oral expression class will speak on selected subjects. ADDRESSES BOYS 'General Vocations' Is Topic Of Vocational Guidance In Auditorium Bernard Kuehnle, of the Kuehnle Lumber Company, spoke at the voca- tional guidance meeting held in the auditorium last Wednesday during the assembly period. His topic was, Gen- eral Vocationsf' Roy Timmons, pres- ident of the Woodward Hi-Y, the club sponsoring these talks, introduced the speaker. Quoting Henry Van Dyke, Mr. Kuehnle said, Four things a man must do if he would make his record true: to think without confusion clearly, act from honest motives purely, love one's fellow man sincerely, trust in God and Heaven securely. He then proceeded to give examples of each point. Hi-Y members passed out slips to the junior and senior boys as they entered the auditorium. Any boy wishing to be personally interviewed by a represent- ative of a vocation of his own choosing was to put his name and home room on the paper. A tea will be given on April 4 at 7:30 in the cafeteria, at which these interviews will be granted. The men who will interview you will be good examlpes of profession, and it will be worth your while to at- tend this dinner, said Mr. Kuehnle, in referring to the luncheon. Newly Formed Camera Club Elects Oflicers At Meeting Nine girls and thirteen boys at- tending the first meeting of the newly formed Camera Club met Monday night in room 326 elected Edwin Vinson president. Other officers are: Vice president, Eugene Szajkowskig secretary, Margie Fuller, treasurer, Neil Gallierg and sergeant-at-arms, Roy Timmons. The president appointed a committee composed of five members who are to meet with the officers in order to write a constitution and by-laws for the club. These are to be submitted for approval at the next meeting. The committee consists of Harry Jacobs, John Mc- Mahon, Ruth Hall, Eilene Brand, and Alice Pasyk. The aim of the club is to equip an un- used school room with the necessities needed in developing, printing, and en- larging for the use oi club members dur- ing study periods. O. M. Thompson, Saga photographer and industrial arts instructer, is advi- sor of the group. Students Not Permitted To Remain In Halls After School To clear the congested halls after school, C. C.LaRue has announced that no students will be permitted to remain after school, without the presence of a teacher. It is hoped that this new ruling will help clear the halls after school. If this condition persists, it will be necessary to establish an afterschool teacher patrol. This new ruling also applies to club meetings, when the adviser of the club must be present. Faculty Contributes To Gift Fund Started For E. R. Rike To purchase gifts for E. R.Rike, a fund, to which teachers contributed, was started last Thanksgiving by Paul Thomae. A bedside radio, a comforter, a bathrobe, and a subscription for a magazine were the gifts decided upon, and will soon be on display in the oflice. Mr. Rike, who is seriously ill, was forced to resign his position as math instructor here last year. g 2 THE WOODWARD TATTLER THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published And Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

This is the Wood- ward Student Body calling all new teachers! This is the bad kid who forgot his home- work, the conscientious student, and the class gen- ius, bidding you a hearty welcome to the portals of our worthy school. Here's hoping you will dis- cover new friends and joy in your work. May your stay here be enjoyed by you as well as by We the Studentsf' Can We Take It? T'S A GRAND feeling to know that our team is on top. Cheers and congratulations take the place of the groans and pessimistic spirit heard not so long ago. School spirit is high, and the thought of victory so strong that it seems impos- sible that we can lose. Yet, defeat may come even to the best of teams. No combination is so good that it cannot be beaten. If a defeat does come, the true quality ofa school is tested. Either the students criticize the officials and blame the victory on the luck of the other team, or they are good sports and realize victory comes only through superior playing. We have proven that we are good winners. If the time arises when we must endure a loss, let's show that we can take defeat with a smile. Unusual Idea Accepted HEN THE FRENCH CLUB, supervised by Mrs. Margaret Beardsley, gave its first Co-Ed Prom, it introduced a new type of dance to the To l ed o high schools. The acceptance of this idea by a club in each of the other Toledo high schools, and the annual success of the Co-Ed Prom for eleven years, compliments the French club of Woodward and its advisors. At first, this was a formal affair, exclusively for girls, but in recent years, it has been informal, and boys have been admitted for a part of the evening. By continued cooperation, the 1940 edition of the Co-Ed Prom will be as successful as those given in previous years. This Is Your Chance! E SAY THAT WE come to school to prepare ourselves for our life's work. But what shall our life's work be? That is the question the Hi-Y will endeavor to answer by sponsoring a series of meetings for junior and senior boys, at which representatives from the various fields of industry will talk and answer ques- tions asked them by the boys. This is providing an opportunity for each boy to learn more about the vo- cation in which he is most interested. The attendance of these groups should be assured, as the work we do after graduation must soon be determined. These meetings may help those who are undecided by suggesting opportunities in the fields open to them. Tidbits 'Tis the mystery of the age how your columnist manages to elude the Better Journalism Board, the Committee on Public VVelfare, and all the little men in white, and bring to you, eager readers, choice segments from the news.

' ' On The Bookshelf Submarine ---Simon Lake This autobiography is the story of Simon Lake, a pioneer in the invention and development of the submarine. At the age of fourteen Lake started his work On the improvement of this craft and has had over one hundred inventions patented since. The book tells of the part the submarine played in for- mer wars, the invention of the periscope, the sal- vaging of sunken treasure, and the invention of a craft to go under ice. Lake also foretells the part submarines will play in future wars. I I I A Peculiar Treasure -H Edna Ferber Edna Ferber, stage struck at the age of seven, led a difficult life. This book, her autobiography, tells of her life as a child in Michigan and Iowa and of her hopes for a theatrical career. Miss Fer- ber became a journalist's apprentice at seventeen and a few years later won recognition as a writer of short stories and novels. A Peculiar Treasure is written with humor, honesty, pride, and simplic- ity. It reveals her fervent love for her country and her German-Jewish family.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER BOWLING John McMahon For the first time in many years Woodward has gained undisputed pos- sesion of first place in both the Amer- ican and National leagues. The Nats bowled over the Bulldogs three matches to gain top honors by two games. The Amerks sit in the same place because of their three wins from Scott. The Nationals and Americans defeated their opponents by totals of 512 and 281 pins. respectively. Bowling exceptionally high games of 152-211-212, Zychowicz, of the Nationals, banged out a total of 575 to gain first place. Marok's games of 166-200-202, and Durka's total of 529 pins won them second and third place honors. Every man on the Nationals broke 500 except Walasinski, who because of bad splits, was forced to be content with 437. TEAM GAINS TOP OF LEAGUE LADDER Amerks Win The American Bears swamped Scott for three games and moved out of their three way tie with Central and DeVil' biss to grab first place in the American league. The two games that the Irish lost to DeVilbiss moved them down to third place. The Amerks hold a two game advantage over the Tigers, who are now in second place. The Amerks were led by Feltman's games of 159-195-177. Zielaskowski ran a close second with series of 154-192-167 to give him a three game total of 513 pins. Potrzebcwski and Bojanowski entered the 500 division, when they gained totals of 504 and 500 respectively. The Americans rolled out a team total of 2473 pinsg Tomorrow morning the Amerks will battle with DeVilbiss. The Tigers must win at least two games to regain their first place tie with the Bears. Tomor- row's matches will have a large effect on the first place standings.

The next and only other after-game dance will be given on March 1 after the Woodward-Waite game. Print Shop Acquires Device A new round cornering attachment has been purchased by the Woodward printshop. This device, when attached to the paper drill will enable round corners to be cut on cards, paper, etc. Direction papers with picture exam- ples and sizes of the corners were fur- nished with the new attachment.

BEARS TO INVADE LIBBEY HIGH IN PROMISED TOUGH CONTEST BL ,rug 2 T' 'Y' .-a-vu. .M ...,.........,. .. - i .I g . , - . 1 H l 1 .-,- .., ,MJ Chuck McFarland Woodward's undefeated Polar Bears will attempt their seventh consecutive win tonight when they battle the second place Libbey Cowboys in the South- Siders' gym. In the last tough encounter battled on the home floor, the Bears defeated the Cowboys 28-24. The Cowboys will have the advantage of playing on their own court, while the Bears will saunter forth under the handicap of playing on a small- er iioor. If Woodward should lose this en- counter, the Blue and White will still head the city league by a one game margin. Holden, slippery forward, and Trum- bull, high point center, will cause plenty of trouble for the Hanham basketeers. The probable starting line-up will be Copeland and Pryzbycz, forwards, Had- dad and McFarland, guards, and Camp- bell, center. The reserves will meet the Libbey cubs in the prelinimary contest. Woodward Paces City The city league standings at the pres- ent stage of the season are: W L Pct.

No seniors will be given berths un- less they make a good enough show- ing during practice while they are still juniors. Coach Taylor will have the assistance of Bob Snyder, professional player for the Chicago Bears. Snyder will drill the backfield men in punting and passing while Taylor will develop the line. With a number of last year's reserves coming up, a considerable heavier line can be expected. y! p 7 J I seniors on M o n d a y, Wednesday, and Friday 6. To be able to participate in game each girl must be dressed in her gym clothes. 7. Any team forfeiting three times will be forced out of the league . Due to the large number of teams entered in the tournament, it will be necessary to play off four gamesa night. Since nine teams were forfeited out of the volleyball tournament because their members did not show up for the game, the girls were asked not to sign unless they expected to come. Mrs. Don Sharpe, new regular gym instructor who is taking Mrs. Stella Harre's place, will assist Mrs. Catherine McClure in advising the Girls' Athletic League and supervising the after school games. - the Bowling, Swimming, Offered Girls During Seventh hour To girls having seventh hour free on Fridays, there is the privilege of taking either bowling or swimming. Miss Cathering Clure teaches bowl- ing at the Auditorium Bowling Alleys, while Mrs. Sybil Sharp supervises swiming at the Y. W. C. A. These classes which canbe substuted for regular gym classes will run until 3:30. Busses may chartered to transport the classes to their destination. Unusual Procedure In the recent Central--DeVilbiss tilt- the Tigers, in an endeavor to break the Irish zone defense, held the ball for about four minutes. Bogart, DeVilbiss forward, refused to throw the ball, while Central refused to abolish their zone defense. After a time-out called by the referee, the Cherry Streeters changed their minds, and reverted to a man-to-man system. It is an ofhcial rule that a player can retain possession of the ball for an indeiinate period of time unless one of the opposing team comes within three feet and makes a play for the ball. Then, the player must get rid of the ball or suffer a Jump-up. Lucille Gifford Will Preform Over WSPD Student Musicale Lucille Gifford, Woodward sophomore, will perform on the Student Musicale from station WSPD, Saturday at 1:15 p. m. A duet will be played by Lucille and Betty Mallenduk, from De- Vilbiss High School. The selection, Ballet Waltz, will be played on two pi- anos. Lucille, who received this opportunity when her music teacher chose her for an audition at Green's Auditorium, has studied music for six years at the Toledo Conservatory. She is a member of the Woodward Periclean Literary Society. Vlloodward slashed through Macomber last Tuesday 37-28. The Craftsmen en- tered the tilt in a scrappy mood, but collapsed in the second quarter. Although the Bears came out on top by a lopsided margin, they were not up to par both in defensive and scor- ing ability. Macomber collected 12 fouls from the Blue and White cagers. In the first half, Copeland inaugurated the Bear drive with a quick angle shot. Then followed repeated end runs by Copeland, McFarland, and Haddad which totaled 20-11 for the period. Guard Sahadi played a fine floor game. The second half found Woodward having an easy time against the Mechanics, with Coach Homer Hanham sending in reserve material to replace the starting five. The Bears had a 31-18 lead at the end of the third quarter, but a short rally by Macomber in the last stanza resulted in a 37-28 game score. Again, Copeland paced the North Enders with 17 points.

But Woodward, realizing the weak- ness of the opposing team, geared up its scoring machine in the first quarter 7-4, and led during the remainder of the contest. The half ended 13-6. In the last period, Copeland, Camp- bell, and Koster united in a front that scored 17 marks. Copeland led the Bear attack with 14, hacked by Koster's 6. DeBord was leader of the Bulldogs' with 8 points, followed by S. Cantor with 4. Reserves Downed In a close fought battle made deci- sive by a Scott basket in the last two minutes of play, the lightweights went down in defeat, 21-19. The score was tied all during the Hrst half, with Wood- ward gaining the edge on a 16-14 count at the end of the third stanza. But a Bulldog rally in the last canto cinched the game for Scott. Pacing the Cubs was Jackson with 5 points. Ramsdell paced the Scotters. Announcements, Rings To Be Decided Upon February 20 Seniors will vote for graduation an- nouncements and juniors will vote for class rings Tuesday,February 20. Rings and announcements will be exhibited during the first part of next week.

Although Miss Sawtelle stated that she would like the students to read more books, it would be impossible for her to remove the magazines since the Board of Education is donating fifty dollars to the library for new magazines.

No, We don't mean that pesky freshman throwing spitballs again. It's Dan Cupid. Valentine's day will soon be here, and Venus's little proble m child will reign as king of hearts in Woodward's corridors. This little imp has prescribed various meth- ods of unleashing the love bug in the heart of your one and only. Perhaps the most used practice is sending Valentines, penny ones, fifty cent ones, comic ones, and otherwise. Besides exerting the least drag on the old bankroll,this is probably the most direct method. Be sure that the girl on the Valentine does not bear any resem- blance to that certain rival, or you will ind your face suffused with a brilliant red that comes from no other source than a good old slap in the face. If you send your love by means of one of those very funny comic Valentines, be sure you have three blocks head start. Or send her a box of candy. Present this in a subtle way. Never send it to her by messenger, for the obvious reason that he may decide to sample the candy on his way. Oh,and horror of horrors never make the gruesome mis- take of forgetting to remove the price tag. After all, why does she have to know that it only cost a quarter? Take the box over to her house and linger until she reluctantly asks you to sample it. This is your opportunity. Wasting no time, quickly consume enougn of the candy to realize that you didn't waste such a lot of money after all. Mrs. E.

Your dear Polah Dear Miss Payer, I would like to know whether Bob Myneder prefers blonds or brunnets. Please don't dissappoint me. Hopeful, Henrietta Dear Hopeful Henry, He hasn't made up his mind yet. Right now, he's too busy with lots of other things to make a choice. He did admit, however, that he liked blonds, brunnets, redheads, and girls in general. Keep trying, Helpfulfflj Polah Dear Polah Bayer, Try and figure this one out: I hate English, don't get along well with my math teacher, find history boring, and typing nearly drives me mad. I never attend any school doings, because I can't dance and I don't like sports. I want to quit school, but my Dad won't let me. Well? Problem Child Dear Miserable, You don't need my advice--you're a plain case for a psychiatrist. However, let me say this. Anyone who finds school as uninteresting as you, must be unbear- ably lazy. Life is fun, and anyone who can't find enjoyment from some phase of school life not only develops into a first class grouch, but sinks into a state of a pathy that makes him not at all a nice person to have around. They're trying to kick the un-Americans out of the dear old U. S. A. ---- it wouldn't be a bad idea to kick such as you out of dear old Alma Mater. Yours for Reformation, P. B. Dear Polah, I would like to know if Henry J aschke and Dora Young are about through. You see, I think Hank is cute, too. In Quisitive Dear Out Rageous, Henry had better redouble his efforts fthat is, if he's interested,J because Dora has her eagle eye on Dave Baz.

We need more educational activities in Wood- ward. During the past months, the various organizations have failed to present to the student body enlight- ening and interesting programs. Compliments are due to the Senior Friendship Club and the Student Oouncil for paving the route to a semester of rich activites by scheduling two well informed speakers. Do You Appreciate Music? HE ORCHESTRA, band, and glee club have been working for weeks on a musical program to be given February 21. This type of entertain- ment should be as desirable to the average person as that found in dances and games. Peoples' lives are greatly enrich by music, and thou hts and emotions are better ex ressed ' ' g p in it than by almost any other medium. The chords and tones of melody give one a deeper sense of happi- ness and remove discouragement, putting in its place hope and ambition. It is hoped that the student body will give this venture, to awaken the interest of Woodward in music, its fullest support. Let's All Back It! AVE YOU noticed the new Tattler program this week? What do you think of it? These three new resolutions will be backed by the Tattler 100 per cent. The last plank of the platform will be changed to meet every new crisis of school life, while the first two will be permanent parts. In the next three weeks, an editorial concerning one of the planks will be run in this column to in- fcilrm the student body why the Tattler made this c oice. Our Friendliness Extended RIENDLINESS is a salve for any predicament. Substitute teachers placed in a strange environ- ment only thrive because of the friendship of their students. WV-odwardites can boast that few substitute teachers have left Woodward's faculty whithout the feeling they were leaving a place where good-will greeted them from all sides. In Principal Points I E Neighborly News Dorothy Dix, who writes a daily ' column for the Blade says in the U 79 , l February seventh issue,, All intelligent ill X 4 human beings recognize the wisdom , - of laying up money for a rainy day so ' C ' they may not be a burden upon others. - But few people ever give a thought to s ' making any mental provision for the time when t-heir plan of life may be broken up and they are left alone, so they may save themselves from becoming bores and afflic- tions to all who know them. Do you ever hear pupils say of some c u l t u ral subject, Oh, I don't want to take that! It's too hard and I'll never have any use for it ? So they go merrily on their way taking only the things they think will aid them in making money. It is hard to have some people understand that a full and hap- py life can come only to people who have the capacity within themselves to cause their own happiness. One who loves books, music, has a greater chance at life's person who knows nothing money. People who retire from an active business or a profession and have no mental storehouse to fall back upon are very likely to become unhappy and make all others around them miserable too. It is sound advice to think of two kinds of secu- rity for one's old age, a material one and a mental one. X., . N , art, etc., invariably happiness than the except how to make C?C?..a? Bits From The Bus Ya did? What color? Vincent Gigliotti proposed the other day. --- Who to? --- I don't know her name. Some girl in his history class. Oh, do you? I think Albert Kramer is cuterf' Why was Ronald Sharer getting so red in the face in his physics class a couple of days ago? Nothing exciting. He was just trying his hand at glass blowing. Boy, would I? Marjorie says he's lots of fun. Isn't that history assignment for tomorrow ferocious? Every time I go by locker 1504, I see Jeanne Adams. -- Not surprising, she writes the initials B.L. all over her notebook. For goodness sakes, don't show Ted Grabowski that note or I'm ruined? I was sitting behind Wanda Jane Sitek and Don Bialicki the other day and--- Gosh! You don't have a chance with Chuck McFarland. His heart's been out of circulation since grade school days. Convict Capers Greetings, yo' all! Just got back from an hilari- ous vacation at San Quentin. My, what interesting people. My old friend, Wilma Shultz, was there, rolling in dough-tnutsj, so they told me. Those striped ensembles they all wear are quite becoming. Probablyjust a fad that will soon blow over, though. The principal of tnis educational institution this nickname is Wai-den J was very kind. His close friends call him Mr. Dense. He gave a square dance every Saturday night. The only trouble was that our chains rather got in our way. Those tropical nights surely get a guy. Had a date with Dorothy Haddad, who came all the way from Hawaii just to see us boys. Duane Donavan, my buddy, was on our basketball team there. He played guard against demure Shirley Davis. Inciden- tally, she won. Then there was Jimmy Stevenson, who worked in the laundry, always used Lux, and tuned in on Cecil B. DeMille every Monday night. My cellmate was Ben Mack, who borrowed things from innocent freshman. Now he listens to the program Crime Doesn't Pay. It was hard to leave those wonderful fellows be- hind, but it's good to be back in circulation again. To attentive readers: address fan mail to Boyfriend of the Girl on the Police Gazette, Straight-Jacket No. 145-B-2. J eepers Creepers Some people kill rats! I snapped off the blaring radio, and listened attentively for the sound of ap- proaching footsteps. Cat like, I tiptoed to the win- dow, and stood there, frozen with horror. A human figure, cloaked in a dark suit, resembling a cat, stood peering through the window. A cry escaped my lips, and I dashed from the room. Suddenly, a terrific crash seemed to jar the room. An earthquake, I thought desperately. Slowly, I opened my eyes, and my gaze fell on the mystery book lying at my feet.

On February 5 the girls of Vocational High School entered their new school building, which is ranked as one of the most modern in the country. Cupid Confesses After the mail rush of February 14, yours truly paid a visit to Dan Cupid and was informed that many of the valentines sent were from Ye Olde Woodward. Jane Lecklider and Bill Rogers were affected by the tradition. Carl Betz and Marilyn Schoonmaker exchanged sweet nothings. Richard Bousonville was showered with valen- tines by his ever attending bevy of beauties.

As I spun around, my wildly searching eyes found a door par- tially opened. I drew near the room, horribly fas- cinatedg and within I saw a girl slumped over her desk!

THE WOODWARD TATTLER BEARS DROP FIRST GAME OF SEASON TO COWBOY CAGERS Woodward Basketeers Stillf' Lead City Cage Race By Half Game Although the Bears dropped their first defeat of the season 27-23 last Fri- day at Libbey, they still lead the city race, with the Cowboys and the Indians tied for second position. The Libbey con- test was a hard fought battle, and ex- citement rose to fever pitch among the spectators. From the starting whistle to the closing tweet, the game was marked by numerous spills and numerous fouls for close guarding. Woodward led at the end of the first quater 6-4, but relin- quished their lead to Libbey at the half 11-8. Beth teams were watching each other like hawks, for play after play failed to click for either of the two teams. Moore, Cowboy guard, kept Copeland to two points in the first period. Tough Half It seemed as if the Bear machine was clicking in the third canto, for the Woodward forwards broke away time and time again, giving the Blue and White the leadlng position of 19-16. But the refusing-to-be-beaten Libbey squad, playing on familiar ground, proved too much for the Bears to overcome. A last desperate rally in the final minutes of play failed. The Cowboys made9 fouls off Wood- ward, with Smakel heading the high scorers with 12 points. Both Copeland and Pryzbycz swished for 8, while Hol- den, South-Sider forward, netted 6. Libbey Victor Decidedly outcassed by a superior Libbey reserve five, the lightweight team lost 32-14 iithe preliminary con- test of last Friday's Cowboy encounter. Woodward couldn't find itself in the Bret half, for they were on the short end of a 23-6 tally. The reserves came out fight- ing on the second frame to boost their sum to 14 points but failed to stop Lib- bey's oifensve drive.

Woodward's Football Heads Prepare For Early Pratice With the sun coming over the hori- zon a few seconds earlier each morning, spring football practice is d r a w i n g nearer. Woodward coaches are anxious to get the feel ofthe old pigskin and bark out orders again. It won't be long before line Coach McMurray is out there teaching the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. Coach Taylor soon may be seen show- ing the backfield tryouts how to cut and put on more speed when the ever- feared tacklers move in. Bob Chapman will be keeping his eye on the equipment throughout the ses- sion. Assisting managers, Mel Navarre and Dick Berkholt, are going to have a job on their hands with all the new boys who are trying out and don't know where equipment belongs. Coaches Lankenau, Fetters, and Clark will strive to loosen muscles that have tightened during classes and vacation when they take the field against these seekers of glory on the gridiron. A. J. Brown will take his post in the equipment room and will undertake the job of outfitting the boys. Freshmen Defeat Libbey 15-9 In Preliminary Game Playing an excellent game on a foreign floor last Friday, the freshman team downed Libbey 15-9. Sloan was high- point man of the encounter with 6 points to his credit. The frosh also walked away with a win from Temperance, Michigan February 6, to the tune of 18-12.

GIRLS INTRA-MURAL TEAMS ORGANIZED Basketball Contest Planned For Three Separate Leagues Girls' intra-mural basketball teams were organized at a special meeting held Thursday, February 8, in the audi- torium. In order to shorten the tourna- ment it was decided to divide the tournament into three leagues, the freshmen league, sophomore league, and a junior and senior league. The following sophomore, ju n io r, and senior teams with their captains and managers, respectively, are entered in the tournament: Renaissance, Jessie Goldie and Louise Barnett, Bombers, Margeret McGee and Ruth Bernard: Rockets, Ruth Straight and Dorothy Clouseg Woodward Wizards, Kathryn Cummins and Kathryn DeHayg Varsity Cubs, Virginia Czarnecki and Ruthella Strawserg Flying W's, Doris Beebe and Sylvia C h e z a n o w s k ig Polar Bears, Allaen Schneider and Isabel Bieniekg Jim Jam Jumps, Virginia Bodeman and Shirley Pippelg Blue and White Stars, Margaret Mizelle and Helen Kanarowskig All Stars, Helen Szylak and Betty Jean Clarke. Captains and managers of the fresh- men teams, respectively, are Betty Jane Abdo and Lillian Truss, Solid Teng Betty Jane Timmons and Lois Esssk, Blue and Whites, Betty Templin and Betty Buyea, Freshmen Hot Shots, Alice Biegala and Carolyn Hainbuch, The Spark Plugs, Leatrice Cozinski and Dorothy Bettencourt, The Duffy's. During the basketball tournament, which will begin next week, each team will be given a certain day to play. On Monday the All Stars, Varsity Cubs, Jim Jam Jumps, Renaissance,Blue and White Stars, and the Polar Bears will play, Tuesday is assigned to the fresh- men teams, and Thursday will be given over to the games of the Wood- ward Wizards, Rockets, Bombers, and Flying W's. Two Woodward Boys Enter Weight-Lifting Contest At Y Two Woodwardites, Bob Krell and Bill Tucker, captured third and fourth places, respectively, in the Y. M. C. A. novice weight-lifting contest. Krell totaled 505 pounds, which in- cluded the clean jerk style, military press, and snatch style. Following, Bill Tucker lifted a 480 sum in the three types of weight lifts. The boys practice in the gym after school as part of the boxing and wres- tling class. Grade School Battle Here Grade school basketball games to be played in the gym tomorrow morning are: Squints vs. Red Wings Stickney Aces vs. Chase Red Streaks vs. Webster Aces Red Birds vs. Sherman A11-Stars International League: Spring Midgets vs. Blue Comets Sherman Tigers vs. Webster Champs Webster Rockets vs. Riverside Spe- cials Central Forecast Still smarting from their stinging 27- 23 thumping at the hands of Libb ey last Friday, the Woodwrad Polar Bears should put up a stubborn struggle in their attempt to re-enter the win bri- gade at Central to-night. Central's small, tricky iioor gives them a slight advantageg however, the Bear's Bret place standing, linked with a triumph over the Irish earlier in the season, makes the Blue and White a close favorite. Since 1937, Woodward has triumphed three times, while dropping four to Central, a Bear win to-night will give them undisputed claim to the league leadership. Woodward's probable starting line- up will be: Copeland and Pryzbycz, for- wardsg Campbell, center, and McFarland and Haddad, guards. WHITMER DOWNED BY CHAMPION NATS American Pinsters Tumble From First Place As Tigers Triumph Woodward split their six games with the opposing teams last Saturday as the National pinsters came through with a three game win and the Amerks tumbled to third place with three de- feats. Whitmer proved easy prey for the Nats as they retained their first place position by defeating the challengers by 509 pins. DeVilbiss jumped back into first place as they handed the Ameri- cans three setbacks. McMahon and Zychowicz s e i z e d spotlight positions by topping National League scores for the day, McMabon's high game of 246 was the second highest single score bowled this season in the series. Games of 189-206-215 gave Zy- chowicz a 610 total. Skryznecki, a new- comer in the line-up, inaugurated his first game by banging out 219. Due to ineligibility, Durka and Marok will be dropped from the National League. Americans Defeated The Amerks ended their brief stay in first place when a superior Tiger five handed them their first rebud in three weeks. These losses weie made more costly due to the fact that Central won their trio of games from Scott to gain second place, one game ahead of the Bears. Martin gained first place honors with games of 171-183-178 for a total of 532 pins. Feltman also broke the 500 mark with games of 171-153-178. Zielaskowski bowled the highest single game of 224 Individual scores are as follows: National American Wolas'ski 183 172 145 Feltman 171 153 178 Skryznec'i 149 219 161 Martin 171 183 177 Zientek 165 162 176 Kerwin 162 166 122 McMahon 167 138 246 Potrezeb'ski 137 163 164 Zychowicz 189 206 215 Zielaskpwski 118 224156 853 897 935 759 B89 788 Trojans, Polish Lits Leading Boys' Basketball Leagues The standings in the boys' intramural basketball league are as follows.

On leaving here, the students will crossover to the main office building to lunch in the Ford cafeteria amidst company executives. The afternoon will be spent going through the River Rouge plant, the lar- gest industrial building under one roof, to witness the building of an automobile from the first bolt to the finished pro- duct driving OH' the assembly line. They will return to Toledo and school about 5:30 p. rn. Boys interested are to see Mr. Rohr in room 329 for particulars and reser- vations. 2 vox POP Q Directed To Faculty Dear Editor: During the school movies and other auditorium programs there is a con- stant undertone of talking. We, the members of the Student Council, are asking the teachers to give us the whole hearted support needed for the elimination of this annoyance. It is the duty of the Student Council to watch the doors, and we are asking the teachers to help us by keeping dis- cipline throughout the auditorium. Let's not allow pupils to continue talking, spoiling the show for the ones who paid to see it rather than to be excused from a class. Many instructors come to the aud- itorium to witness the movie anyway, so why not help us and yourselves to enjoy the movie by throw i n g the bullies out. The Commissioner of Auditorium 1 SCRAPS Seen in Miss Grace CrorIk's third hour Botany class: Richard Haddad serenly cooking starch. A window was opened afterwords to eliminate the odor.

Miss Ruth Dales, nursery supervisor, will be in charge, teaching the boys one day a week on this subject, in room 205. When asked who takes more interest in home economics, the boys or girls, Miss Abair said, I think the boys, because it is new to them, and they take it as more of a personal matter. The purpose of the study of this subject is to gain experience to assist in the care of younger brothers and sisters. Miss Laura Adam's seventh hour girls' class are also studying the sub- ject, and will make visits to the nursery soon. Send your problems to Polah Bayer.

BROADCASTING SYSTEM TO BE HELD FRIDAY- MAY 3 Speech Hlghhghts INSTALLED IN WOODWARD SooN Athletic Payment L. C. Clark Making the final payment on the long-standing athletic debt and the set- ting aside of S500 toward the construc- tion of a sound system will be the pur- pose of the fifth annual Gayety Nite to be held Friday evening, May 3. Linclon C. Clark again is general chairman, with Floyd Lords handling donations. Mrs. Mary Crouse, assisted by Miss Marian McDonough, has charge of tickets. Publicity is under the direc- tion of Mrs. Marie D. Ersig. S. B. Crouse and Joy Mohrhart, shop instructors, are supervising construction of booths. n To make the carnival a success as in formal years, clubs are urged to cooper- ate fully in regard to the various con- cessions. Carnival committee heads should report to Mr. Lords as soon as possible concerning the concessions their clubs have decided upon. In order to concentrate all efforts on the carnival, there will be no events scheduled in April. .1.m.l-.l Just One More Needed Five years ago, faculty members decided that the only way to dispose of Woodward's accumulated athletic debt was to hold a yearly carnival. - Only through the utmost coopera- tion of teachers, parents, and stu- dents could their plan hope to succeed. Since then, four carnivals have been held. Woodward's obligation has dwindled until only one more Gayety Nite is needed to completely eradicate the old debt. In addition to this, a fund of S600 was set aside from last yesr's receipts to help pay for a public address system. Today's Tattler announces the fifth annual Gayety Nite, to be held May 3. Will this one be as success- ful as the previous carnivals? Poster Contest A Poppy Poster Contest is being sponsored by the American Legion Aux- iliary QArgonne Post 545.1 A national prize is offered for the best poster in each of three classes which are com- posed of grade school and high school students.

Lenten Speaker During the assembly period on Febru- ary 27, Monseigneur Macelwane, presi- dent of DeSales College, will give a lenten talk in the auditorium. This is the second in a series of le n t e n speakers sponsored by the Friendship clubs. All who are interested are invited to attend. John Mason Brown Funds To Be Used For Final UTWO Gyms, Auditorium, To Actor, author, lecturer, and New ' . . York dramatic critic---this constitutes John Mason Brown, who delivered the lecture at the February 17 meeting of Town Hall. Mr. Brown's subject was Broadway in Review. I U l Symbolizing the theatre as the finest aspirations of human kind, Mr. Brown pointed out the triple duty of the thea- tre in time of war. First, it reminds men of what they might beg second, it can show them what they areg and last, it functions as a star Spangled palace of forgetfulnessf' li lk if It is in time of war that we are tempted to look twice at a thing of beauty which accounts for the value of beautiful women in time of war as they tend to take man's mind from the horrors of WHT. U 1 1 By comparing the manner in which an average mai dies and the death of characters on the stage, Mr. Brown at- tempted to explain the theatre's glori- fication of tragedy. Maxwell Anderson, playwright, is the best exponent of this theory. O U l Carmen Miranda must be the-answer to Cordell Hull's prayer. She's the only good thing that has come of our associ- ation with our southern neighbors. The simple point to Du Barry Was a Lady is that Du Barry was not alady. C Q I The Time of Your Life, current Broadway play, written by William Sarayan, is considered by Mr. Brown as the best play of the year. I i I Critics suffer from amnesia. As an illu- stration of this point, Mr. Brown cited this incident: at the announcement of Helen Hayes' return to town, the critics rush to their typewriters and immedi- ately declare her The First Lady of the Theatre. Then Katherine Cornell returns to the stage, and they rush to their typewriterr and label her The First Lady of the Theatre, forgetful of their previous declaration. U I O He admires Gertrude Lawrence be- cause she manages to look so French and sound so English. U I I Betty Stadler, senior, attended and reported the lecture. l I U Forum Speaker In order to carry out an efficient student government in a school, the pupils chosen to represent the student body must be well educated, honest, trustworthy, reliable, and capable, stated Louis Mathias, director of extra- curricular activities at DeVilbiss High School, who spoke at the third Hi-Y- Friendship Forum held last Sunday afternoon in the Y.l:'I.CiA. 1 All fraternities and sororities should be abandoned from high school life.

Be Wired F 11'Stj 141 To Be Studio fAfter a long delay, the installation of a broadcasting system was begun in Woodward this week. Although the entire building will be wired at, once, the two gyms and the auditorium will receive outlets first. lt is hoped that the job will be completed by Recognition Day, May 28, so that the students who are not invited to the auditorium will be able to hear the pro- gram in the gyms. A portion of room 141 will be built into a studio room in which plays may be produced. The radio system will also be used for special announcements, radio reception, and records for dances. Clyde Sweeny, who attended the old Technical High School when C.C. LaRue taught there, will furnish the equip- ment. WPA men will wire the building. The long delay was caused by the strike of WPA electricians and by the inspection of the recently installed Scott and Libbey systems. Six hundred dollars of the expense was set aside from the profits of last year'S Gayety Nite. It is expected that five hundred dollars more will be used from the profits of this year's carnival.

Well maybe, but rug-cutting isn't the only accomplishment of Toledo's youths. A series of radio programs of educational value are being put on by to-day's ultra-modern students. The Word Kit, Home Horizons, and English Classics are three of the current radio programs which are being presented over Toledo stations. The cooperation of parents, teachers, and pupils not participating will be an important factor in determining the success of these ether wave activities. Truth Triumphs! E ARE proud of you! At the Lenten services held last week, you proved yourselves worthy of praise! Although many religious faiths and nationalities were represented, and although the auditorium was crowed, you gave Rev. S. C. Michelfelder your un- biased attention. All was quiet. Next Tuesday, another Lenten speaker enters the portals of W o o dward. Keep up the good work! Make guest speakers feel honored and glad to visit Woodward. Salute To National Defense MID WORLD chaos, we in the United States recognize from February 12 to February 23 National Defense Week. Not with the splendor of maneuvers, huge guns or marching men, but in a peace-loving manner cherishing our freedom and the benefits of democ- racy. Plank Number 1 NTELLIGENT, INFORMATIVE ASSEMBLIES is the first plank of the new Tattler platform. We, representing the majority of the student body, feel the need of more educational assemblies along with our lighter programs. Through such assemblies, we come into contact with outside problems of a serious nature, and with capable speakers,who bring to us interesting facts from their own experiences. This plan has been carried out to some extent with the procuring of the lenten and vocational guidance speakers. It is hoped that other organizations will follow the leads established by the sponsors of these programs.

Oh! it's only the horn announcing the half. The game is on again. We're thirteen points behind! No--only eleven-- He made a basket. What? It's no good? Impossible!

Too bad I have history seventh hour. Remind me to study up on physics. Was spoken to very gaily by the Man. Thursday: Was fancy-free this parallelepiped bothered me.

Remember that English test today. Oh, what's the use? Guess I'll have to look for a different species of winks. Head-Liners Ah, Friday bliss! With a delightful weekend ahead of all of us, we managed to link missing parts together and forward to you a few recent scoops, salvaged from the week. Cute, little Cleo Clark, who has thus far forsaken all Woodward's masculine offerings,now admits, for curiousity's sake, that her heart belongs to Walter M., and has for many a year. Well kids, any news is good news. Mr. Lankenau, amiable Economics instructor, is still wondering when Paul Bowes is going to become a man. It seems that particular junior has taken a fancy to cracking his knuckles in class. One delightful item comes to our ears this day of days that Ben Mack is carrying no torch for any bit of femininity. Glad to oblige, Bennie. Those three delightful senior lassies, namely, Doris Beebe, Dorothy Kohne, and Beverly Luelf could well be termed The Three Musketeers, so close is their friendship united. Flash, a late scoop! One senior boy, often in the spot light,is Stanley Gogol, but we just couldn't pass this up. He has just admitted his nick-name to be Charles Atlas!

THE WOODWARD TATTLER WOODWARD FACES INDIANS TONIGHT Bears Have Chance To End Three Game Jinx At Waite Woodward, aroused by the loss hand- ed them by the DeVilbiss Tigers Tues- day night in the T. U. Field House, will try to get back in the win column when the Bears meet the Waite Indians in the latter's gym tonight. Following their defeat at the hands of the Libbey Cowboys, the Bears lost three straight contests to high ranking squads.The Blue and White cagers need this win over Waite to hold their second place position, because the East Side cagers are a close third. Lastyear in their two meetings, Waite took one game, Woodward, the other. The I n d i a n s are especially strong in their own gym and should be morally stronger, still, by the loss they handed Central last Tuesday. The offensive leaders of this game will probably be Billy C o p el a n d, speedy Woodward forward, and Dexter, high scoring Waite forward. The probable line-up for Woodward will be Copeland and Pryzbycz at for- wards, McFarland and Ha dda d at guards, and Campbell at center. For Waite, Dexter and White at forwards, Sanderson and Sefarian at guards, and Welker or Ruck at center.

BEARS OCCUPY SECOND PLACE CUBS BOW T0 IRISH WITH DEVILBISS, TIGERS WIN TIGERS THIS WEEK at f - Foul In Overtime Period Nets Tiger Spurt in Second Canto Sweep Them To Victory I Homer Hanham Woodward couldn't throw the jinx that has been following the Bears, and dropped a 34-27 count to DeVilbiss last Tuesday to occupy a second place dead- lock with the latter club. The Bears started off with a bang, and with Copeland and Pryzbycz hitting consistently ran the count to 13-9 at end of the first quarter. During the second canto, the Tigers rallied furiously, and while holding the Hanhamites to two charity tosses, gar- nered eight points for themselves and left the floor at the intermission with the score 17-15 in thier favor. After the fifteen minute respite, the Tigers continued to increase their lead slowly, and with Messerly and McClure leading the attack ran the count to 28- 21 at the three quarter post. During t' e last stanza, Wagner's men coasted along and despite all eiforts on the part of the Bearmen, who couldn't hit the hoop, the game ended with Woodward on the short end of the score. Copeland by making five field goals and as many fouls, led both teams in individual scoring with 15 points. Pryzbycz tied with Messerly of De- Vilbiss with 10 points for runner-up honors.

The All Stars, a junior team, placed first in the upper classmen league in the recent girls' intra-mural volleyball tournament. The freshmen league win- ner was the Blue and Whites. In this year's girls' basketball tour- nament, two forfeits will put a team out of the league. Girls in the seventh hour bowling or swimming class will meet on Friday only. The Pencil Pushers beat the Yankees 24-14 in a hard-fought Freshman League game. Golf basketball, a new sport intro- duced to the gym classes by Mrs. Sybil Sharpe, was played last Friday in the girls' gym. with numerous players piling up in the center of the floor while the ball bounced around free. QA number of fouls that the fans and coaches didn't understand were called throughout the gamej At Bile time the referee joined the scram- e. Field goals won for the opponents while Woodward kept in the running up to the last minute by collecting 14 free shots. Four Irish cagers were taken out on fouls while Campbell and McFarland, were likewise removed.

LEAGUE POSITIONS LOST BY BEAR PINSTERS I 'V 'v 7' 3 - -' 'fin -, sims' if ,x .tl 5 a ' Q - g:, ,, i i-23-if Antoszewski Woodward bowling quintets dropped from first and third places last Satur- day when the Nationals and Americans lost two and three games, respectively. Macomber's pinsters, after losing their Hrst match, downed the Nats for the remaining battles by a scant total of 16 pins. Libbey's victory over the Ameri- cans shoved them into fourth place. Led by Antoszewski's big games of 166-202-234, the Nats won their first game by 14 pins. Although the Bears used three different combinations, the Me' chanics proved too strong to overcome. Despite a high team total, the Amer- Ican league bowlers lost their trio of matches by 143 pins. Feltman bowled 190 which was the highest game. Kerwin with games of 181-182-142, gained the highest total of 505. Although Woodward has lost re- cently, the season is only half over, and both teams expect to put up a good fight tomorrow when they move goainst Macomber and Waite. The individual scores are: DeVilbiss Victory Dave Mac Murray Woodward reserves came close to their fourth victory last Tuesday when the Tiger reserves won their second game from Woodward in an overtime tilt, 34-32. Kornowa and Ryan were high point men. A foul in the overtime period gave the Tigers the two points needed to win the game. Tonight the reserves move against Waite for the first time this season. Reserves Downed Woodward reserves went down to a brilliant defeat 30-28 at the hands of the Central five last Friday in the op- ponents' gym. Scrap and fight consti- tuted the greater part of the game, with Central's fast break too much for the Bears. From the first, the Irish led and con- tinued the pace all during the game. Kornowa paced the Bears with 8 points, closely followed by Marzec with 6. Unusual playing by Irish forward McQuillan, who played out of position and continually tried to seize the ball away from the two Woodward guards, netted him a total of 17 marks.

TATTLER SPOTLITE SETTLES ON FROSH Robert Knutson, Woodward Pupil, Turns Editor, Publisher An old hand press, a thirteen year old assistant, and the will to make good sets the scene for the first weekly paper in the Dorr Street and Westwood Ave- nue district in Adams Township. The originator is Robert Knutson, a freshman at Woodward, who not only prints the Dorrwood Weekly, but edits and distributes it to some 760 customers. A thirteen year old boy, Wayne Martines by name, helps some- what with the distribution ofthe weekly. No adult is allowed within the sacred premises of the office The office is Robevrtls bedroom, fixed up as a print- shop. His miniature hand press runs off only thirty-eight copies an hour. These papers are given away free, and the erstwhile editor-publisher's only means of moneyemaking is through the advertisements to which the mer- chants subscribe. The rates are very reasonable--a paper inch costing fifteen cents, or two inches for a quarter. Be- cause of the dithculty of printing pic- tures, one must pay extra for the cuts. Incidentally, Robert is not taking printing, but, strange as it seems, this editor's greatest ambition is to be an undertaker. C. C LaRue Addresses Joint Meeting About Hall Conduct Our reputation as people who can take care of themselves rests upon the hall patrol, stated C. C. LaRue at the meeting of the hall patrol and Student Council held Tuesday. He also declared that at least eighty of the number of the students in the halls are there for unnecessary reasons, and that for a school of our size there should be only ten hall passes used thoughout the whole day. Joe Dence, co-adviser of the Student Council, stated, It should be an honor to be on the hall patrol, and you should feel a responsibility for your position. Clyde Van Tassel, a guard during the lunch hours, said that some of the finest boys and girls in Woodward or in any high school are on the patrol, yet, there are still some who take advantage of their positions. Dick Semler, president of the Student Council, introduced the speakers. Betty J ane Roth and John Vinson are the commissioners of hall patrol, while Mrs. Kathryn Schuler is the other ad- viser of the Student Council. TATTLER MEMBERS FORM COMMITTEES Mrs. Marie D.

M. h BROADCASTING SYSTEM TO BE HELD FRIDAY- MAY 3 Pooo lg lg ts INSTALLED IN WOODWARD SooN Funds To Be Used For Final John Moooo Brown B DTW0 Gyms Auditorium To Actor, author, lecturer, and New ' . ' . ' Athletic Payment L. C. Clark Making the final payment on the long-standing athletic debt and the set- ting aside of S500 toward the construc- tion of a sound system will be the pur- pose of the fifth annual Gayety Nite to be held Friday evening, May 3. Linclon C. Clark again is general chairman, with Floyd Lords handling donations. Mrs. Mary Crouse, assisted by Miss Marian McDonough, has charge of tickets. Publicity is under the direc- tion of Mrs. Marie D. Ersig. S. B. Crouse and Joy Mohrhart, shop instructors, are supervising construction of booths. To make the carnival a success as in formal years, clubs are urged to cooper- ate fully in regard to the various con- cessions. Carnival committee heads should report to Mr. Lords as noon as possible concerning the concessions their clubs have decided upon. In order to concentrate all efforts on the carnival, there will be no events scheduled in April. Just One More Needed Five years ago, faculty members decided that the only way to dispose of Woodward's accumulated athletic debt was to hold a yearly carnival. Only through the utmost coopera- tion of teachers, parents, and stu- dents could their plan hope to succeed. Since then, four carnivals have been held. Woodward's obligation has dwindled until only one more Gayety Nite is needed to completely eradicate the old debt. In addition to this, a fund of S600 was set aside from last year's receipts to help pay for a public address system. Today's Tattler announces the fifth annual Gayety Nite, to be held May 3. Will this one be as success- ful as the previous carnivals? Poster Contest A Poppy Poster Contest is being sponsored by the American Legion Aux- iliary fArgonne Post 545.1 A national prize is offered for the best poster in each of three classes which are com- posed of grade school and high school students. Anyone interested may see Miss June Anderson in room 335 for fur- ther details. Lenten Speaker During the assembly period on Febru- ary 27, Monseigneur Macelwane, presi- dent of DeSales College, will give a lenten talk in the auditorium. This is the second in a series of le nte n speakers sponsored by the Friendship clubs. All who are interested are invited to attend. York dramatic critic---this constitutes John Mason Brown, who delivered the lecture at the February 17 meeting of Town Hall. Mr. Brown's subject was Broadway in Review. 1 O U Symbolizing the theatre as the finest aspirations of human kind, Mr. Brown pointed out the triple duty of the thea- tre in time of war. First, it reminds men of what they might be, second, it can show them what they areg and last, it functions as a star spangled palace of forgetfulnessf' 'F li ll' It is in time ofwar that we are tempted to look twice at a thing of beauty which accounts for the value of beautiful women in time of war as they tend to take man's mind from the horrors of WRT. l O if By comparing the manner in which an average mai dies and the death of characters on the stage, Mr. Brown at- tempted to explain the theatre's glori- fication of tragedy. Maxwell Anderson, playwright, is the best exponent of this theory. U l U Carmen Miranda must be the answer to Cordell Hull's prayer. She's the only good thing that has come of our associ- ation with our southern neighbors. The simple point to Du Barry Was a Lady is that Du Barry was not alady. U I O The Time of Your Life, current Broadway play, Written by William Sarayan, is considered by Mr. Brown as the best play of the year. U U l Critics suffer from amnesia. As an illu- stration of this point, Mr. Brown cited this incident: at the announcement of Helen Hayes' return to town, the critics rush to their typewriters and immedi- ately declare her The First Lady of the Theatre. Then Katherine Cornell returns to the stage, and they rush to their typewriterr and label her The First Lady of the Theatre, forgetful of their previous declaration. U U U He admires Gertrude Lawrence be- cause she manages to look so French and sound so English. V I I Betty Stadler, senior, attended and reported the lecture. l U U Forum Speaker In order to carry out an efficient student government in a school, the pupils chosen to represent the student body must be well educated, honest, trustworthy, reliable, and capable, stated Louis Mathias, director of extra- curricular activities at DeVilbiss High School, who spoke at the third Hi-Y- Friendship Forum held last Sunday afternoon in the Y.M.qA. 4 4- All fraternities and sororities should be abandoned from high school life. These are only small, selfish groups, with no just goal. U U I Sending out invitations to pros ec- tive members is the wrong method, to gain good material for a club, Member- ship should be opened to all who are in- terested. Later, applicants should be in- vestigatedf' U I U Next Sunday, the last of the series of forums will be held. Rev. Lincoln Long, of Collingwood Avenue Presbyterian Church, will be the speaker. BEAR IN MIND Monday, February 26 Senior Class meeting Tuesday, February 27 Lenten Service Wednesday, February 28 Assembly of junior and senior boys, vocational guidance Junior and senior party in girls gym, after school Friday, March 1 Activities Ticket movie Waite-Woodward game---here After-game dance Work closed for first quarter JOINT LEAP YEAR ' DANCE TO BE HELD The juniors and seniors will hold a joint Leap Year dance February 28 from 2:30 to 5:00 in the girls' gym. The color- ed W P A orchestra will play for danc- ing. Only juniors and seniors will be ad- mitted to the affair which is being given free of charge. Since it is a leap year dance, it has been suggested that the girls ask the boys to dance. Social committees of the two classes are planning it. The junior committee consists of Dorothy Dyer, chairman, Barbara Fisk, Laura Meyer, Bob Ramer, Dick Bentley, and Bob Weber. Heading the seniors is Ted Osial, as- sisted by Virginia Striggow, Iva McMur- do, Jean Walker, Perry Martz, Betty Jane Roth, Franklin Rieger. Miss Amie Miller and R. K. Sheline are class deans. An Outstanding Art Picture To Be Exhibited Every Week Due to the lack of proper equipment the annual art display will not be held this year. In place of this yearly show, one outstanding picture will be exhibi- ted above the display case each week. The name of the student who painted the picture will appear under the art work. The following committee will act as judges in choosing the pictures worthy of recognition: Virginia Ann Kwiatkow- ski, John Urbanski, Isadore Yourist, and Colneta Lau. Red Cross Acts In Preparing Articles For Less Fortunate The Red Cross organization in Wood- ward has been very active in preparing to make the coming holidays more en- joyable for the less fortunate. Dresses and Easter baskets have been made by the girls for the v a rio u s orphanages. Layettes and gifts destined for the Finnish and Polish refugees, and for the needy mountaineers are also being made. Mrs. O'Brien is the adviser of the Woodward chapter. . Camera Club The Woodward Camera Club, at its third regular meeting last Monday af- ter school, decided to hold meetings every Monday after school. The club's colors are black and white. Eugene Szajkowske is head of the committee programs. Harry Jacobs, Margie Fuller, Ed Vinson, and Fred Braun are committee members. O.M. Thompson is adviser of the , club. Be Wired Flrstg 141 To Be Studio fAfter a long delay, the installation of a broadcasting system was begun in Woodward this week. Although the entire building will be wired at once, the two gyms and the auditorium will receive outlets first. lt is hoped that the job will be completed by Recognition Day, May 28, so that the students who are not invited to the auditorium will be able to hear the pro- gram in the gyms. A portion of room 141 will be built into a studio room in which plays may be produced. The radio system will also be used for special announcements, radio reception, and records for dances. Clyde Sweeny, who attended the old Technical High School when C.C. LaRue taught there, will furnish the equip- ment. WPA men will wire the building. The long delay was caused by the strike of WPA electricians and by the inspection of the recently installed Scott and Libbey systems. Six hundred dollars of the expense was set aside from the profits of last year's Gayety Nite. It is expected that five hundred dollars more will be used from the profits of this year's carnival. Memorial Hall To Be Scene Of Zet-Hi-Y Skate Tonight 'The Zet-Hi-Y skate will be held to- night from 7:30 to 10:30 at Memorial Hall. Co-chairmen ofthe event are Jeanne Walker and Bob Weber. Assisting are Dolores Urbanowski, LaVerne Brigham , Freeman Tate, Jim Tucker, Ed Vinson , Bob Martin and Roy Timmons. Admis- sion is 30 cents. Juniors and Seniors To See Naval Film Next Wednesday L. H. Asher, United States Naval Re- cruiting ofiicer in the Toledo district, will show a film to junior and Senior boys during assembly on Wednesday, February 28. The film will show the advantages of joining the navy, which oifers oppor- tunities to specialize in many different trades. Aid To Nature Nature can't even be left to do her own work anymore, it seems. Hormodin A, a iluid of remarkable propensities, is being used by Miss Grace Cronk to stimulate the root growth of her many plants. The very smallest drop of this liquid speeds the rate of Howering and gener- ally causes the plants to grow much faster than they naturally would. Students- TcTCfive Treasure Island Over Station WSPD The classic, Treasure Island will be broadcast over radio station WSPD hy the radio production classes of W o o d- ward and DeVilbiss on Thursday, Feb- ruary 22, from 7:30 to 8:00 P.M.

Well maybe, but rug-cutting isn't the only accomplishment of Toledo's youths. A series of radio programs of educational value are being put on by to-day's ultra-modern students. The Word Kit, Home Horizons, and English Classics are three of the current radio programs which are being presented over Toledo stations. The cooperation of parents, teachers, and pupils not participating will be an important factor in determining the success of these ether wave activities. Truth Triumphs! E ARE proud of you! At the Lenten services held last week, you proved yourselves worthy of praise! Although many religious faiths and nationalities were represented, and although the auditorium was crowed, you gave Rev. S. C. Michelfelder your un- biased attention. All was quiet. Next Tuesday, another Lenten speaker enters the portals of Woodward. Keep up the good work! Make guest speakers feel honored and glad to visit Woodward. Salute To National Defense MID WORLD chaos, we in the United States recognize from February 12 to February 23 National Defense Week. Not with the splendor of maneuvers, huge guns or marching men, but in a peace-loving manner cherishing our freedom and the benefits of democ- racy. Plank Number 1 N TELLIGENT, INFORMATIVE ASSEMBLIES is the first plank of the new Tattler platform. We, representing the majority of the student body, feel the need of more educational assemblies along with our lighter programs. Through such assemblies, we come into contact with outside problems of a serious nature, and with capable speakers, who bring to us interesting facts from their own experiences. This plan has been carried out to some extent with the procuring ofthe lenten and vocational guidance speakers. It is hoped that other organizations will follow the leads established by the sponsors of these programs.

He didn't mean to touch that boy. They could just forgive him. There they go again---racing madly down the floor. What a complicated game! The referee has just shouted, Walking! when anyone can see they're all running. How did a car get in here? Oh! it's only the horn announcing the half. The game is on again. We're thirteen points behind! No--only eleven-- He made a basket. What? It's no good? Impossible! Three minutes to play-here comes my hero. Ah! six baskets--they can't stop him.

With a delightful week-end ahead of all ofus, we managed to link missing parts together and forward to you a few recent scoops, salvaged from the week. Cute, little Cleo Clark, who has thus far forsaken all Woodward's masculine offerings,now admits, for curiousity's sake, that her heart belongs to Walter M., and has for many a year. Well kids, any news is good news. Mr. Lankenau, amiable Economics instructor, is still wondering when Paul Bowes is going to become a man. It seems that particular junior has taken a fancy to cracking his knuckles in class. One delightful item comes to our ears this day of days that Ben Mack is carrying no torch for any bit of femininity. Glad to oblige, Bennie. Those three delightful senior lassies, namely, Doris Beebe, Dorothy Kohne, and Beverly Luelf could well be termed The Three Musketeers, so close is their friendship united. Flash, a late scoop! One senior boy, often in the spot light,is Stanley Gogol, but we just couldn't pass this up. He has just admitted his nick-name to be Charles Atlas! And this is your dizzy reporter saying Good afternoon to some of you, good evening to more of you, and good luck to all of you! On The Bookshelf Take It Away, Sam! ---by Paul Wing After graduating from a mid-western university, Sam Hubbard lands a lowly job as clerical assist- ant to the Chief Announcer of the Transcontinental Broadcasting Company. Throughout several years, he works in many fields of radio until he becomes manager of one of Transcontinental's associated radio stations. While enjoying the rattling good story of Sam's progress, you'll learn intimate facts of the opera- tion of every branch of broadcasting which other- wise would take many months of actual experience in radio studios to gain. Flying The United States ---by George R.

The Hutchinsons have all appeared on national radio programs for long periods of time, and have given stage appearances about their adventures. THE WOODWARD TATTLER WOOD WARD FACES INDIANS TONIGHT Bears Have Chance To End Three Game Jinx At Waite Woodward, aroused by the loss hand- ed them by the DeVilbiss Tigers Tues- day night in the T. U. Field House, will try to get back in the win column when the Bears meet the Waite Indians in the latter's gym tonight. Following their defeat at the hands of the Libbey Cowboys, the Bears lost three straight contests to high ranking squads.The Blue and White cagers need this win over Waite to hold their second place position, because the East Side cagers are a close third. La st year in their two meetings, Waite took one game, Woodward, the other. The I n d i a n s are especially strong in their own gym and should be morally stronger, still, by the loss they handed Central last Tuesday. The offensive leaders of this game will probably be Billy C o p el a n d, speedy Woodward forward, and Dexter, high scoring Waite forward. The probable line-up for Woodward will be Copeland and Pryzbycz at for- wards, McFarland and H a dd a d at guards, and Campbell at center. For Waite, Dexter and White at forwards, Sanderson and Sefarian at guards, and Welker or Ruck at center.

The individual scores are: DeVilbiss Victory Dave Mac Murray Woodward reserves came close to their fourth victory last Tuesday when the Tiger reserves won their second game from Woodward in an overtime tilt, 34-32. Kornowa and Ryan were high point men. A foul in the overtime period gave the Tigers the two points needed to win the game. Tonight the reserves move against Waite for the first time this season. Reserves Downed Woodward reserves went down to a brilliant defeat 30-28 at the hands of the Central five last Friday in the op- ponents' gym. Scrap and fight consti- tuted the greater part of the game, with Central's fast break too much for the Bears. From the Hrst, the Irish led and con- tinued the pace all during the game. Kornowa paced the Bears with 8 points, closely followed by Marzec with 6. Unusual playing by Irish forward McQuillan, who played out of position and continually tried to seize the ball away from the two Woodward guards, netted him a total of 17 marks.

The originator is Robert Knutson, a freshman at Woodward, who not only prints the Dorrwood Weekly, but edits and distributes it to some 760 customers. A thirteen year old boy, Wayne Martines by name, helps some- what with the distribution ofthe weekly. No adult is allowed within the sacred premises of the oflice. The otiice is Robefrt's bedroom, lixed up as a print- shop. His miniature hand press runs off only thirty-eight copies an hour. These papers are given away free, and the erstwhile editor-publisher's only means of money-making is through the advertisements to which the mer- chants subscribe. The rates are vary reasonable--a paper inch costing fifteen cents, or two inches for a quarter. Be- cause of the difficulty of printing pic- tures, one must pay extra for the cuts. Incidentally, Robert is not taking printing, but, strange as it seems, this editor's greatest ambition is to be an undertaker. C. C LaRue Addresses Joint Meeting About Hall Conduct Our reputation as people who can take care of themselves rests upon the hall patrol, stated C. C. LaRue at the meeting of the hall patrol and Student Council held Tuesday. He also declared that at least eighty of the number of the students in the halls are there for unnecessary reasons, and that for a school of our size there should be only ten hall passes used thoughout the whole day. Joe Dence, co-adviser of the Student Council, stated, It should be an honor to be on the hall patrol, and you should feel a responsibility for your position. Clyde Van Tassel, a guard during the lunch hours, said that some of the finest boys and girls in Woodward or in any high school are on the patrol, yet, there are still some who take advantage of their positions. Dick Semler, president of the Student Council, introduced the speakers. Betty Jane Roth and John Vinson are the commissioners of hall patrol, while Mrs. Kathryn Schuler is the other ad- viser of the Student Council. Tattler committees in charge of the various events sponsored by the staff have been selected by Mrs. M. D. Ersig, stalf adviser. Recognition Day, sponsored by the Tattler, is a program at which students receive awards for athletio and scho- lastic achievements. Heading the com- mittee is chairman Jean Douglas, aided by Sam Laderman, Bob Knoke, Dorothy Kincaid, and Ellen Gribbin. For the annual Tattler banquet, when the next year's staff is announced, Bob Weber leads the group, with Kathryn Seeman, Arthur Bancroft, Betty Ga- jewski, and Virginia Lobet, assisting. Phyllis Hendrickson, chairman, Mildred Hall, Richard Semler, Irene Kolinski, and Vernon Gribbin have charge of the Tattler booth for Gayety Nite, May 3. The Tattler party is headed by Patty Hammontree and William Rogers, co- chairman, with Mary Latus, Laura Kohne, and Rita Tertel. The committee for the Tattler Skate consists of Bob Martin, chairman, Agnes Leece, Doro- thy Dyer, Alice Miller, and June Knowles. University Senior Observes Paul Lankenau's Law Classes Troy Westmeyer, senior student at the University of Toledo, is observing the class procedure in Paul Lankenau's sixth and seventh hour classes.

XII Toledo, Ohio, March 1, 1940 No. 21 DE ANS' CONVENTION ATTRACTS TEACHER Woodward Is Represented In St. Louis By Miss Miller Miss Amie Miller Miss Amie Mille r represented Woodward at the twenty-fourth annual convention of the National Association of Deans of Women in St. Louis, Mis' souri. Miss Mildred Pasch, dean of girls at DeVilbiss, accompanied Miss Miller- This meeting lasted from Wednesday' February 21, to Friday, February 23, and was attended by deans of high schools and colleges from all over the country. Leaving Toledo Tuesday at 6 p.m., Miss Miller and Miss Pasch arrived in St. Louis in time for breakfast Wednes- day morning. A full and interesting program of conferences, banquets and receptions kept the two Toledo deans occupied for the remainder of the con- vention. The theme of the convention was to encourage teachers to attempt a drive against the pessimistic outlook of mod- ern youths. Many celebrated speakers presided at the numerous functions, and their dis- courses c o n t ai n e d much food for thought. The most stressed and re- peated points were, to instill in minds of students that democracy is lived and is not a goal for which they must ight, and that instructors should make more use of debatable questions to develop the ability of pupils to disagree without being disagreeable. Miss Miller and Miss Pasch left for Toledo Saturday morning, after the ad- journment of the meeting, and arrived home Saturday night. Picture Of The Week While a few high school students have developed a definite technique in painting, A Table Piece by Earl Liljiquist shows much originality and a style all his own. His feeling for form and design is good, and this painting is also pleasing in its rhythm. Earl's work will be appreciated most by the truly modern artist of today. Pond Post Presents 2 Flags To School In Fri. Ceremony Two American flags were presented to Woodward in the auditorium Friday by the Pond Post of the American Legion Auxiliary. Isadore Yourist acted as Master of Ceremonies. Mrs. Briggs and Mrs Postaley, rep- resentatives of the auxiliary, present- ed the iiags which were accepted by Williams Barrows. Several selections were offered by the Glee Club under the guidance of Clarence Ball, music instructor. Other participants were Marjorie Cowell, Bette Stevenson, aid Leonard Cooperman. Only juniors and seniors were invited to attend. NARCOTICS BUREAU SUPPLIES SPEAKER Noted Lecturer S p e a k s On Marihuana And Crime K'Something has been getting our young p e o p l e--marihuana! asserted Mrs. Garnett Lock, representative from the Narcotics Bureau, who spoke on the dangers of the deadly drug at the senior class meeting Monday. I U I Marihuana is sold by---mayl say- foreigners who fear, not our police, not our laws, not our prisons, but--depon tation. I believe all such peddlers, who aren't United States citizens anyway, should be deported. U C I Mrs. Lock stated, Over half the crime in the United States is due to the influences of marihuana. - a o One hundred thousand addicts of this drug are youths of high school and college age. Actors, actresses, and band leaders use this narcotic because its effects make them fanatics and slaves to their art. I l l . To my way of thinking, education is bitter than cure, concluded Mrs. oc . Encyclopedia Offered To School Submitting Winner What are the characteristics of a Strunas Vulgaris? What is the approxi- mate area of the tidal coast line of the United States? Under what circum- stances may the American Hag be raised with the union down? The Canada Dry Company, sponsors of the Information Please radio pro- gram, has offered to give a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica to any school that submits a question which is able to stump the experts. In response to this, students in each department of Woodward are asked to make out intelligent questions with the correct answers and submit them to their teachers before March 11. Each teacher, after selecting t h e b e s t questions from the class, will give them to the department heads who in turn will send them to the Tattler Oliice. The questions, which should be in the Tattler Ofiice on or before March 13, will then be sent to the Canada Dry Company in the name of Woodward. If one of the questions submitted is used on the program and cannot be answered, the pupil who wrote the question will be awarded ten dollars and a set of the Encyclopedia Bri- tannica sent to his school library. History Class Debates Lincoln, a Greater Man Than Wash- ington was the subject of a debate in Miss Bertha Vermilya's third hour history class. Representing the pro side, which won, were Leonard Olender, Robert Davis, Lillian Sodd, and Phyllis Stone. On the opposing team were William Murphy, Don Liepold, Henry Cisek, and Toufy Zurob. Picture Of The Week While we are featuring landscapes we must not overlook Spring Reflections with its fre sh coloring, by Eileen Kibbey. The classes like the water especially well because it is painted directly giv- ing it a clear clean look as if there had just been a spring shower, which aids in swelling the red maple buds. Elleen works dilligently and her painting should always be a source of pleasure to her. HEAD OF DESALES COLLEGE SPEAKS DeSales President Chooses Nature And Life As Topic In Speech Monseigneur Macelwane, president of DeSales College, spoke Tuesday at the second in a series of lenten programs given in the auditorium during assem- bly period. Nature, as we see it around us, must have a Creator. The farmer, when he sows oats, knows that when the seeds grow he will have a field of oats, and not some other grain. The seeds or plants have no brains themselves so there must be someone governing them. a -u s People also demand a Creator. There must be a law to govern our origin, growth, and many systems in the body.' s 1 t ' Everyone has a fighting tendency and tries to overcome obstacles. Things that are easy are not done well, things that are difficult are worth doingg and things that are done well are done in the face of great ditlicultiesf' I C I Lent means 'Springf It is a season when people deny themselves some pleasure. I O O People should study their impulses and learn how to govern themg make a life of principle rather than character, be upright, straight men and women, and be helpful to those about them. .....i......,, Prom Committee, Cabinet Circulate Dance Petitions Petitions for the annual Senior Prom, which will be held at the Trianon Ball- room on April 19, are being circulated by the prom committee and the class cabinet. Louis Emm, chairman, is aided by Rita Tertel and Ruth Speaks, tickets and programs, Richard Semler, businessg and Jeanne Toms, dancing classes. Vincent Gigliotti and Bill Stein are in charge of publicity. Freshmen Are Tested For Comparison In Reading Skill In order to compare the reading skills of students of American stock and those of foreign extraction, Mrs. Hazel McManamon, English instructor, tested 215 freshmen, Wednesday, February 14, in the auditorium. This experiment is in preparation for a thesis to be written by Mrs. McMana- mon as a requirement for obtaining a master's degree at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. I hope that the results of the test will prove helpful to teachers who have these students in their remaining high school years, stated Mrs. McMana- mon. The examination tested seven dif- ferent reading skills: the use of vocab- ularies in mathematics, social science, science, and lit e r a t u r e , following directions, the ability to use the vari- ous parts of a book, and comprehen- sion. Previous to the test, all freshmen were asked to fill out questionnaires stating their parentage and their familiarity with any foreign languages. One hun- dred students whose parents and all four grandparents were born in this country represented the American stock, another hundred having parents of non-American birth represented the foreign extractiong and the other fifteen were alternates. TOWN HALL LECTURE GIVEN BY DR. L. BERG Noted Psychiatrist Speaks On The Successful Personality 37 Adolescence is simply a result ofthe civilized world, declared Dr. Louis Berg in his talk on The Successful Person- ality at Town Hall last Saturday. The strain placed on the high school student often drives the pupil to insanity. The noted psychiatrist pointed out that the modern world demands too much of the adolescent. All of a sudden the young person has to select his vo- cation, become independent of his school and home, and make his mark in the world, he stated. The speaker offered the solution that the school system should provide psychiatrists, who would give students vocational tests and help the adolescent determine what his various abilities are. Successful Personality The successful personality is that personality which can find happiness, peace, and dignity without encroaching upon the happiness, peace, and dignity of others, announced Dr. Berg. The year 1940 has been the pinnacle of un- happiness, for uncradited rates of crime, divorce, and insanity are in evidence, he added. The speaker showed that the personal- ity of an individual is determined in the first ten or twelve years of his life and is greatly iniiuenced by his home and school life. As he continued into his topic, the lecture defined the great groups into which the normal world is divided as follows: the inferior group feels this way because they are either mentally or physically deficient, the lonesome group will always be a part from the world whether on a desert or in a crowdg the up and down type alternately rides on the crest of or the trough of despairg the split personality reveals one side of his nature to the world, while the other side builds day dreams, and the peverse type, or social outcast, is on the road to ruin. The best way to overcome these de- ficiencies is to build strength of char- acter and determination for the right, concluded Dr. Louis Berg. Marilyn Gell attended this lecture. Seniors To Choose Tattler Cup Recipient Tuesday, March 5 All seniors will be given a chance to indicate their choice for the recipient of the annual Tattler Achievement Cup Tuesday, March 5, in first hour classes. Any senior boy or girl, with the excep- tion of Tattler staff members, who has been in Woodword four years is eligi- ble for this award. Distinguished service to the school and high scholastic averages are the main basis on which the student is chosen. ' The first ten names indicated will be turned over to Principal LaRue, chair- man ofthe selective committee, to be used in determining the recipient of the cup. The cup will be presented on Rec- ognition Day, May 28. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors voted for their choice through the bal- lots in last week's Tattler. Warning To Seniors There are 360 possible candidates for graduation this year, stated Prin- cipal C. C. LaRue at the senior class meeting last Monday. About 40 of these seniors are wob- bly--right on the fence. To insure their graduation this June, seniors should stay in school, get busy, and get their work done every day.

Letis take advantage of this privilege of voicing our opinion and be just in whom we choose. - Here Is Our Chance OST OF US have at one time or another wished for a chance to do something that would really benefit Woodward. This oppor- tunity is offered by Canada Dry's Information Please, heard Tuesday at 8:30 p. m. over a national hookup. A complete set of the Encyclopedia Brittanican is being offered to anyone submitting a question that stumps the experts. The school and student will also be mentioned on the program. This set of books, besides being a v a l ua ble addition to our library, is something that ev e r y student and teacher in Woodward would use and profit by for years to come. Here is the chance to give Woodward nation - wide recognition. Match wits with an expert and send your questions in now. Performances Are Lauded NDER the excellent direction of Clarence Ball, the Glee Club's performance at the recent combined program of the school musi- cal organizations brought forth hearty, appreciative acclamation from the audience. Woodward's large, attractive band played their portion of the program well, but were a bit too mighty for an indoor performance. In comparison to the other programs, the Band's was rather long, but still greatly enjoyed by hearers. Our only objection to the Orchestra contribution is that it was too brief. The choice of selections of all three bodies showed good taste and deserve equal credit. We sincerely hope that our school will become a place where music lovers can more frequently hear such fine concerts. ' PRINCIPAL Po1NTsl l Neighborly News Benjamin Franklin who founded an fir: academy which later grew into the Uni- -. versity of Pennslyvania brought over ' V from England a famous headmaster to T .f 1 :QQ organize this school. His name was Dove: ' i : and from the stories told about the severity of his discipline, his was a very fx inappropriate name. However, he had 5 some shrewd ideas about making his school one hundred precent in attendance. In spite of the fact that the parents had to pay quite heavily to send their boys to this academy, truancy was not uncommon. In order to keep his charges in school Mr. Dove formed an attendance committee. This was made up of from three to five boys who marched up and down the streets of the then small town of Phila- delphia, ringing a bell and loudly calling the name of the truant. There was no hideout deep and dark enough to save the culprit so he usually returned to the hated Greek and Latin and to the canings of Mr. Dove and his under teachers. One wonders how this would affect our attend- ance today if the parents of a truant should look out their front windows and see a parade of their son's school fellows shouting his name and proclaiming to the whole neighborhood that he was absent from his school duties. Knowing that the usual truant keeps his truancy from his parents as long as pos- siable this might be a very effective means of keep- ing some of our mordern boys in school. rw - if X, GG!

Education In The East When I visited Bagdad, much to my dismay I was forced to attend school.I dodged for two weeks Cas does Lowell Bakerj, but finally Shiek Koodrupe Qanother Coach Taylorj caught up with me. Due to the lack of teachers in this torrid country, Shieky acts as teacher, truant officer, and school board fwhat a manlg so while he was chasing me all the schools were closed. Because of the heat, school begins at four a.m. ftime I usually retirel. The first two morns I straggled in at 6:20. When Shiek Koodrupe threatened to yank me out of bed I got there at four. . He questioned me on American high school cus toms. On being told that Woodward lassies donit wear veils he wanted to catch the next camel to Woodward. Shieky was my hero until l met Mrs. Koodrupe and the ten little Koodrupes. I took the next plane home. There are no shieks here but at least I can get my beauty sleep. Nick Cassis was also in Bagdad then, but since he spent most of his time snoozing and attempting to lift veils there isn't much I can say about him. I Gotta Grouch! So say many Woodward students.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER NATS RETAIN FIRST PLACE IN LEAGUE Zychowicz, Zientek, Feltman Gain Top Honors By High Games National league b o w l e r s retained their first place in the series when they handed the Indians a crushing defeat. The Nats hit one 'of their highest team totals of the season with 2582 pins.The American league pinsters dropped two matches to Macomber, but their lone Win kept them from losing their fourth place position. Knakiewicz and Zientek, new men in the National lineup, proved their worth by rolling out high totals of 492-and 528, respectively. Games of 174-194-172 gave Zychowicz highest honors for the day with a big 540 total. McMahon also broke the 500 mark with a series of 176- 181-173. The Nationals have not lost their spotlight position so far this season. Craftsmen Win Despite high team totals, the Amerks lost their first two games, winning the last by 16 pins. Oleksiak, Mechanic star, was the Bear's biggest headache with his high games of 215 and 211. Feltman paced t h e le a g u e with matches of 175-165-180 giving him the highest total, 520. Martin bowled 195 for top honors in the single game division. Jim Young, a newcomer to the league, rolled out 598. Zielaskowski hit 506 with a series of 151-181-174.

Woodward's Polar Bear squad will make its first bid for the district cham- pionship at Toledo University on Wed- nesday, March 6, when the five meet Cen- tral. The schedule for district play was drawn up at the Fort Meigs hotel by the city high school basketball coaches. The winner of the Waite-Scott game on Monday, March 4, will oppose the Rossford quintet, and the final result- ant of the latter fight will play-off, on March 8, the victorious school emerging from the Bear-Irish contest. This will constitute the victor of the upper bracket teams. In the lower division, Libbey and Clay, Sylvania and DeVilbiss, will fight on Monday, March 4. The winners of these two combats will meet on March 6, while on the same night Whitmer chal- lenges Macomber. In turn the final emerger from contest and the victor of the Mechanic-Whitmer tussle will bat- tle for supremacy of the second bracket. On Saturday, March 9, the leading teams from the first and second brack- ets will enter the final pay-off for the district championship. The team that beats will journey to Columbus and enter the all-state basketball tourna- ment. . Jim Nicholson, Robert Rettig, and Normon Kies will referee the tourna- ment contests. Ruth Wade Bowls Highest Score, Jane Wolf Is Next Ruth Wade, senior, bowled the high- est score when the girls' bowling classes met last Friday, in the Auditorium Bowling Alley. Jane Wofe topped the freshmen scores. Other b-owlerettes and their scores were: seniors, Eileen Duvall, 117, Shirley Davis, 111, Rose Mary Nowicki, 110, Doris Beebe, 1083 Shirley Barks, 106. Highest ranking freshmen were Helen Roman- czak, 74, and Sarah Tzanakis, 67. Miss Catherine McClure, instructor, bowled 152. ' Girls Participate In Minor And Major Sports, Dancing Approximately 1084 girls are taking some form of active gym in Woodward this semester. Taking dancing in the little gym are 300 girls who will be taught modern, square, and round dancing. In the maj- or sports classes, which include volley- ball, basketball, and indoor baseball, are enrolled 383 girls. Badminton, paddle tennis, shuffle-board, pingpong, and bow- ling will be taught to 329 recreational sport students. Thirty-two bowlerettes and forty would-be swimmers attended seventh hour classes at the Auditorium Bowling Alleys and Y.W.C.A., respectively, each Friday afternoon. Miss Catherine McClure and Mrs. Don Sharpe instruct the students. Upperclassmen Decide Upon Rings And Announcements Rectangular rings, number two, with a stone of blue spinel won out in the junior class election. The oval, number one ring, was defeated by a vote of 177 to 107. The stone type ring won by the over-whelming majority of 342 to 38 votes. The seniors indicated on their ballots that announcement number three, the white semi formal with the plain edge and black and gold crest on the outside, l was the favorite. 1 I CITY TITL AT K TAKE TO IGHT BEARS HAVE TO SMASH WAITE TO TIE LIBBEY FOR LEADERSHIP Cowboys Drop One To Waiteg Rest While Bears Fight Woodward's big chance to share in the city championship with Libbey will come tonight, when the Bears meet Waite on the home fioor. The Cowboys, with three games lost, rest tonight, while the Bears will have to scalp the Indians to tie for league leadership. The Purple and Gold have an unpre- dictable team, unexpectedly hot in some contests, and cold in others. Dexter, high scoring forward, and S e fa r i a n, outstanding long shot guard, will be the two main threats to a Woodward victory. In the last Waite encounter, the Blue and White scored a decisive win, 25-17, in the opponents' gym. If the North enders drop tonight, they would still occupy second place, providing DeVilbiss also loses. But if DeVilbiss should win, Woodward would still be in second place tied with the former club. Copeland, Williams, Haddad, Pease, McFarland, Campbell, Jaschke, and Kwiatkowski will experience for the last time the feeling of playing a game on the home floor. Declared Coach Homer Hanham, The boys I-ave played fine basketball this year and I am confident that they will play their best tonight. The probable lineup for Woodward will be Copeland and Pryzbycz at for- wards, McFarland and Haddad at guards, and Campbell at center. For Waite, Dexter and White at forwards, Sanderson and Sefarian at guards, and Welker or Ruck at center. Girls' Basketball Schedule Announced For Next Week The girls' basketball tournament is moving toward completion with the following games scheduled for next week: Monday, March 4 Varsity Cubs vs Jim Jam Jumps Blue and White Stars vs All Stars Renaissance vs Polar Bears Tuesday, March 5 Dufly's vs Blue and Whites Freshmen Hot Shots vs Solid Ten Spark Plugs vs Solid Ten Freshmen Hot Shots vs Duffy's Thursday, March 7 Rockets vs Bombers Woodward Wizards vs Flying W's City Standings Won Lost Pct.

Paced by Ryan with 8 points and Kornowa with 6, the Blue and White valiantly attempted to gain the lead and overthrow the jinx that has pre- vailed for the last few weeks. Coach McMurray used a number of substitutes but failed to find a winning combination. Waite Encounter Duplicating previous defeats, the re- serves dropped another game by a two gggrgt margin to the Waite Indians, As in the Macomber tilt, Ryan lead Squash Macomber And Waite To Climb League Ladder After dropping three games in as many tries, Woodward once more climbed into the win column, with vic- tories over Waite and Vocational by scores of 25-17 and 30-24 respectively. These victories, coupled with Libbey and DeVilbiss defeats, give the Bears a chance to share the crown with Libbey. Woodward led the Mechanics at the end of every quarter, but the Craftsmen climbed to a 19-19 tie with but hve minutes left in the contest. Pryzbycz then proceeded to dump in a Helder and a brace of fouls, to give the Bears a lead they never relinquished. Twenty-eight fouls were called in the contest with Murphy and Passino being evicted. Woodward proved weak at the charity stripe, missing 17 out of 23 chances. At the end of the first quarter, the Bears, led by Copeland and Pryzbycz, jumped into a 10-5 lead, which they increased to 15-8 at the intermission. The third canto was the only period in which the Mechanics outscored the North Enders, 8 points to four. Bill Copeland was again high point man with six field goals and a pair of fouls for a fourteen point total. Pryz- bycz followed closely with eleven for runner up honors. Bill Treadwell, Vo- cational mainstay, paced his team with seven points earned by three fielders and one charity toss. The summary is as follows. F T Woodward G. . . Vocational G. F. T. Copeland 6 2 14 Treadwell 3 1 7 Pryzbycz 4 3 11 Murphy 0 1 1 Campbell O 0 0 Passino 0 1 1 Williams l 0 2 Morris 1 0 2 McFarland 1 0 2 Rhinehart 1 3 5 Haddad 0 1 1 Gi-eeen 1 0 2 Moran 1 4 6 Totals 12 6 30 Totals 7 10 24 Bears Upset Indians During the Waite tilt, Bill Copelr nd and Jake Pryzbycz started to click and set up a 5-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. At the halfway mark, Waite came within three points of tying the Bears which was as close as they got all evening. Woodward's tight defense and snappy ball handling proved too much for the Waiters with Clyde Dexter being the only Indian to hit with any degree of consistency. Copeland and Dexter tied for individ- ual scoring honors by making four field goals and two charity tosses good for ten points each. Pryzbycz, who was evicted on fouls, ran a close second with four buckets and one foul fo r a total of nine as the following summary shows. Woodward G. F. T. Waite G. F. T.

Scholarship Examination To Be Taken In Detroit April 6 The University of Chicago has an- nounced that its scholarship tests may be taken in Detroit on April 6 using the new type examination introduced last year by the college. The examination will test the ability of students in clear and critical think- ing, familiarity with significant ideas and sources of ideas, the understanding of words, familiarity with the arppreci- ation of effective language usage, and the ability to deal with numbers and quantitative relations. Each of the above test smentioned will be included in each students examina- tion though each contestant will not be e x p e c t e d to be efficient in all. Any senior who wishes to participate in this examination must get in touch with C.C. LaRue as s o 0 n as posible, because entrant's n a m e s must be sent in not later than March 10. Aaron Novak, Woodward graduate of '37, won a scholarship through a similar realize what a fine piece of work the Glee Club can do. At a recent program for juniors and seniors only, the Glee Club sang several selections which were appreciated by the entire audience. I think if the sophomores and fresh- men were given an equal opportunity to hear this group, it would stimulate their interest in music appreciation in Woodward. In saying that I would like to hear more programs presented by the Glee Club,I think that I speak for the ma- jority at Woodward. A Junior. In Commendation Ever since I've been in Woodward, and especially this year, the weakness and inediciencies of the Student Council and hall patrols has been a pet theme for various faculty members and students to complain about. Of course our self-governing body has its faults---it probably always will have. But when one stops to consider that fifteen students, operating as a single forceful unit, must see to it that there is law and order in our halls every hour of the day, and must cope with some 2500 under-grads, one must concede the extreme diiiiculty of the task. I don't believe I'll be contradicted when I state that Woodward has never had a more thorough, conscientious, student government body than it has at present. Its two advisers, M r s. Schuler and Mr. Dence, and its presi- dent, Richard Semler, have worked with the other council members diligently, patiently, and untiringly since last Sep- tember, until they have built up an or- ganization of which they, and all Wood- ward, may justly be proud. Never, at least in my four years, have the halls been so rid of nuisances and trouble-makers,and each of us now realizes that we dare not step into the hall during a class period without a permit. Jean Douglas. A Rival Needed? Dear Editor: During a recent hall guard meeting, sameone stated that the Student Coun- cil should have arivalg that is, an organ- ization separate from the Council, to patrol the halls. This suggestion was taken by some people as an insult. I know the speak- er, Principal LaRue, had no thought in mind of insulting the Student Council or the hall guards. We don't need a rival---we need more cooperation, not only from the Council and hall guards, but, more important, cooperation from the faculty. Teachers were asked to hold back on hall permits, but it seems that some have forgotten this request. The sooner teachers stop shaking od' responsibility because they think it's the Student Council's job, the sooner Woodward High School will have a more effective Student Council and hall patrol. Student Council President. Now You Know Dear Editor, There are a lot of students who would like to know why some teachers object to boys and girls holding hands in the auditorium. Maybe someone can answer it for us. A group of students. fEd. Note: We asked Mrs. Schuler, co- adviser of the Student Council, to an- swer this for us. Her reply appears be- ow.l Would you eat with your knife at a banquet? Would you read your love letters aloud in a crowd? No! Athousand times no! Then why, oh why, do you hold hands at a memorial service in the aud- itorium? Far be it from me to blight loves young dream, but there is a suit- able time and place for all things. Some things which are suitable in the privacy of our own homes are not suitable in public places. It is just amatter of good or bad taste.

Williams At Town Hall Sat. Washington and the World Today was the topic of recent Town Hall lecturer James T. Williams, former Editor-in-Chief of the Boston Transcript l l O Newspapers of today are cannons of news because they shoot out to the country the news first hand. I C O An American is a person who is loyal to one flag, one language, and one creed. U U l The coming presidential election holds second place in the eyes of the public. because the war in Europe is the first main topic of discussion in Washington. if ll 4 This presidential election will be similiar to that of Theodore Roosevelt, because there is a split in both parties. 4 4- 4 The object of all Americans is to keep out of war. a o u The lecturer quoted Mr. Stimson, former Secretary of State under Hoover, Keep war out by diplomacy if possible, or by force if necessary. is 4 a One of the best policies adopted up to date is the Pan-American Conference held in Panama City---to keep war out of the Western Hemisphere. U O U The war in the Orient is one of armed bullies claiming to be a civi- lized government and people. u s s For 150 years the United States has been building a strong government and wishes to keep it a democracy free from all dictatorship and a country in which the people are proud to say they are Americans. Q s 0 Vincent Gigliotti, senior, attended and reported this meeting. 0 0 0 Lenten Speaker Reverend Charles Martz, of Rosewood Presbytarian Church, was the third Lenten speaker to talk to a Woodward audience this year. Lent, What It Is To Me was his subject. s 0 0 In this busy world, no one takes the time to become acquainted with one's self. o 0 0 We live in two distinct societies. The society about us and the society within us.' We all observe it differently, but we all take the Lenten Season as a time to drive out the meaner self. .

Mrs. 0'Brien Admitted To Grey Ladies Organization Mrs. Mary O'Brien, adviser of the Woodward Red Cross Chapter, was re- cently admitted to Grey Ladies' organi zation. After a course of twelve lectures by various hospital department heads, and after twenty four-hours of probation work, she was awarded her diploma. The Grey L 'dies is a Red Cross branch organized after the World War when disabled soldiers came back to the United States. Since there were not enough trained nurses, women from all over the nation volunteered to work in the veteran hospitals.

LIMB DOWN from your self-made pedestal: slow that newly acquired strut to an even gaitg clear your face of that cat and canary look. Escaping Mr. Unsat doesn't necessarily mean you didn't deserve one. Many of us receive C's, some D's, a few A's, and B's. Although these classes are usually exempt from unsats, there is only one group that should have this honor, namely, persons doing their work to the utmost of their ability. Every Woodward student could and should belong to this group. Let's all join this new membership drive and push it to our goal of 100 per cent. Caption Explained N THE FEBRUARY 23 issue of the Tattler, the caption Just One More N eeded above the front page Gayety Nite editorial was generally mis- interpreted. By stating that Woodward needed only one more carnival to erase the old athletic debt, we did not mean to imply that after this debt was abolished, this yearly affair would be discontinued. A school has many obligations which must be met yearly, and a money-making project of some kind is needed to obtain the necessary funds. Principal C. C. LaRue recently stated As long as there is a Woodward, there will be 'Gayety Nite. Plank Number 2 gg OYAL, cooperative student body is the sec ond plank of the Tattler platform. Too often this is a principle we dust olf when we back our team at athletic contests, and then pack away again until the next game. However, it is a great deal more than that, and a constant virtue which shows itself in many of our daily activities. Conduct on the buses, undue criti- cism of teachers and pupils, cooperation in class projects and discussion--this is where one's loyalty becomes apparent. Remember that each of us attending Woodward is its representative to the outside world. Conse- quently, our cooperation and loyalty often decide the opinion under which the school is held. 140 Students Protest! PORT FANS, your honor was at stake! Buses were provided to make it convenient for you to ride to and from basketball games, but this service has been discontinued. Why? Because five loose-brained students thought it funny to distroy and deface the interior ofa bus. When a person plots against our Federal Govern- ment he is deported or confined in prison. Since deportation is hardly possible in this case, the one- hundred and forty students who must share the blame for that interior distruction should hear the call to arms, gangup on the five morons, and give them a dose of exterior destruction.

Cubs Defeat Indians For THE WOODWARD TATTLER H S SHARE CITY CHA PIO HIP WITH OWBOY WOODWARD DEFEATS INDIANS U CENTRAL WINS IN TOURNAMENT iii-. i I . VH P , ,,,, V, , ., 6' 'lie'- Ed Williams Woodward's cagers ended the season in a deadlock with Libbeyis Cowboys for the 1940 scholastic basketball su- premacy when they handed a tough Waite squad a 30-28 defeat last Friday. The Bears started the season with six straight victories and then, after losing three in a row, came back with three wins to claim a share of the title. In his first game as a starter, hereto- fore, substitute center, Ed Butter Williams sparked the team, with his nine point aggregate, to victory. Chuck McFarland clinched the win when he connected for a field goal and a foul with less than two minutes left in the game. Jump Into Lead Woodward jumped into the lead with Pryzbycz's three points early in the game and lead most of the time, but the always dangerous Indians, remem- bering their upset of Libbey on Tues- day, never gave up until the final whis- tle. The Bears led by a score of 27-22 at the three quarter mark, and after the Turby men had fought to within one ponit, McFarland scored the clinching points which made Dexcer's last min- ute field goal of no avail. A capacity crowd jammed the Wood- ward gymnasium to see Coach Homer Hanham take the second championship in his ive years as head mentor. The last was in 1936 when he had a clear claim to the crown with eleven victor- ies and one defeat. Eddie Williams paced the Blue and White squad with four field goals and one charity toss for a total of nine points with Copeland, who played a whale of a defensive game, tied with Pryzbycz and McFarland with six point totals. Clyde Dexter was the shooting star of the evening connect- ing for five baskets and as many fouls. This was the last home game for Copeland, Campbell, McFarland, Had- dad, Williams, J aschke, Kwiatkowski, and Pease. Individual scores are as follows: Woodward G. F. T. Waite G. F.

U. field house, the Polar Bear quintent dropped their bid for the state tournament, to the Irish from Central, 46 to 44. Displaying the most outstaning one man scoring feats ever to take place in a city tournment, Bill Copeland banged home 23 markers to lead his team into the overtime. In the last two minutes of game play, Bill exhibited a lone battle with Harold Mouch, Sam Jacobs,anb Chuck Mouch, of the oppo- nents, in which he slipped eight points through the hoop. But Jacobs' goal in the sudden death period gave the Cherry Streeters their victory. At the close of the first period the score stood at 8 all. Entering the second canto, the I r i s h broke loose with an offensive attack that built them a 23-15 lead by half time. The Blue and White came back slow and deliberate, tying the score 31 all at the end of the third quarter. The final q u a r t e r found two teams on the floor with one objective, to break into the lead and stay there.Cen- tral took that lead 39-35 with two min- utes to play. Pryzbycz, Campbell and Copeland presented a final scoring spree and Campbell's lone fielder to knott the score at 44, as the gun ended the game. Sam Jacods was tops for the Irish, when he let fly the longest shot of the evening, winning the game for his team- mates and running his scoring total to 17 points. Stepping right along with Copeland were P r y z b y c z with 11 markers and Chuck McFariand, who played an ex- ceptional good floor game, and collect- ed 4 points.

A. G. Brown, equipment manager, Bill Fetters, who teaches fundamentals, and Dave McMurray, line coach, also spoke. An open invitation was extended to all boys who did not come out forfootball because they lacked a personal invita- tion. Another excuse given by some big, strapping, boys is that their mothers won't let them go out for football, de- clared Coach Taylor during his talk. Fourth Victory Of Season Under the skillful driving of Dave McMurry, the Woodward Cubs won a decisive 30-15 victory over the W ai t,e Papooses in the reserve game played on the home floor last Friday nig t. Dave Kornowa was high point man garnering 13 points. Close behind him were D a n Jackson and Nolan Ryan gathering 8 and 6 points respectively. The boys were really hot, for they made 40 per cent of their attempted buckets. The hard fought encounter was a rough and tumble battle, with Duke Potts securing a bloody nose during the third quarter. Of the 12 city games played,the Cubs have won four. U NATIONALS J OINED IN FIRST PLACE TIE Both Leagues Drop A Pairg Americans Keep In Fourth Place Woodward's National and American league bowlers each dropped a pair of matches last Saturday, but their lone winner from Waite and Whitmer kept them in first and fourth places, re- spectively. With only fifteen games left before the playoffs, the Bears pin- sters will have to win the majority of games to cash in at the end of the season. Antoszewski paced the Nats with a 211 single. This is the hightest game he has bowled this year. Besides rolling out the second highest game, Zychowicz gained top total honors His series of 191-184-169 was good for 544 pins. The Nationals won their second game by 89 pins. Whitmer Good Hampered by 18 spilts, the Amerks lost their first two games, but won the the last by 98 pins. Missler of the Whitmer five banged out 240 to both leagues for single game. A jinx seemed to be following the Americans with only one man hitting the five hundred mark. Kerwin rolled out his third 200 game of the season hitting a 202. Potrzebow- ski hit the highest three game total with a series of 151-169-180, 500.

Miss Cronk Sends Out Plea To Students For Clothing Because of the fact that Miss Grace Cronk, head of Woodward's welfare department, does not have access to baby clothes for needy families, a direct appeal to students is being made through the Tattler. If any student has access to outgrown or discarded baby's apparel, he should bring his contributions to Mrs. Martha Bach, who takes care of towels in the girl's shower room, or to Miss Grace Cronk. Students Prepare To Publish Tattlerg Fill Editorial Places To familiarize beginning journalism students with the routine ofthe Tattler ofHce and with the various phases of newspaper work, the members of the sixth hour class have been appointed to editorial positions.

Clyde Van Tassell was absent Mon- day because a door,which stuck, opened suddenly and sent him skimming along on the ice. 'iHe shall go down in the ranks of great managers, quoted the present equipment supervisor, when he was asked the working qualities of Melvin Navarre. Coming into the world on January 1, 1924, f'Red, as his name so well describes, was gifted with the essence of golden tinted hair, which, by the way, seem to interest a certain girl named Mary Parks. Being very pleased with his duty as equipment manager, he -intends to continue in this line and possibly make a career of it. Melvin, who is rather modest, refused to answer any questions as to his athletic ability, however, he states that basketball is his favorite sport. Handing out equipment and seeing that it is hung up after each game and practice session is part of his duties. Other duties constituting his manage- rial job a1'e: packing each playeris indi- vidual bag before games and keeping an eye on all equipment. Melvin must always be the first one there before a game and the last one to leave. Thrilling moments, as expressed by Red, are when he is called upon to carry the towels out to the players, while in the closing minutes ofa breath- taking game. Indulging in a game of Monopoly will often settle Melvin's desire of something to do in leisure time. Committees Appointed By Student Council President Committees of the Student Council were appointed by Richard Semler, president, at the last Student Council meeting, held February 29. In charge of the election, which will be held this spring for the 1940-41 term, are Harry Schlievert, chairman, John Vinson, Patty Hammontree, and Mari- lyn Schoonmaker.

Students who have already attended have the following comments to make on life in a day nursery. Kream Haddad--- I enjoyed my visit very much. I was there from eight- thirty to twelve, and during that time, I watched the children at play indoors. Then after aiding them with their out- door togs, I played with them about twenty minutes outside. After coming in, each child took a short nap and then ate lunch. Robert Fowler--- I liked to watch the children learn to read, and I also learned how they are taken care of. Bill Gernhauser--- I admired the patience of the teachers in handling the youngsters. When they became cross and irritable instead of being punished, they are given new toys or set to play at a new game. Art Marshall--- It was very interest- ing. I think more boys should be given the opportunity to attend. I VOX POP I don't know what I would have done, if it hadn't been for school welfare. My father had been out of work for some time, and things looked pretty black around Christmas. We were very glad to receive the box of groceries at that time, and also the potatoes and fruit sent at intervals during Dad's layoff. The schools also supplied me with clothes. Even with this help, I was going to withdraw from school because of the expense. When I told this to Miss Cronk she immediatly sent me with a note to Mr. C. C. LaRue, who put me on the N.Y.A. This permitted my staying in school, and I am indeed grateful to the Wood- ward Welfare Board. A Student. Tour Made A tour through the Johnson Furniture Company was made by the Art Klan, Wednesday, March 6. Louis Bokan is president of the club and Miss June Anderson is adviser. The Zets also plan to make a tour through the same store in April. Attention, Teachers Any teacher who needs a girl to do house work after school, on Saturdays, or during vacation should please notify Miss Grace Cronk. Miss Cronk is head of the Welfare department here at school.

I U l Marihuana is really a hemp plant which is used in bird seeds, and only in the last ten years has been used in cigarettes as drugs. One Marihuana plant produces 1000 drugged cigarettes. Ohio is ideally situated for the cultavi' tion of this plant, and it can be raised in any part of our state. I O O This narcotic gives a person four different types of emotions. First one has a pleasant sensation which is follow- ed consectively by a strong vigorous feeling, an urge to kill, and lastly, sleep. This type of cigarette can be distin- guished from the ordinary one by their irregular shapes and the closed tips on both ends. Miss Whitlock Talks Mrs. Gertrude Whitlock, guest speak- er of the oral expression class, was introduced by Ethel H e n n e m a n, Wednesday during the assembly period to junior boys and girls. , i if lil You must take yourself and the things the teachers are trying to do for you seriousl 1 in order to give yourself a head start.

Are you mentally and physical- ly fit for a position? Then, is there a market for your chosen tield? So many people are afraid their jobs will not have dignity. That is wrong, as you can lend dignity to any work. Each job should be a stepping stone to a better one. Gather all the information possible in high school so that you will have some background for your future work. U O O You must be able to sell yourself to your employer in order to get a position.

Mr. Robie Plans for the presentation of the Polish Society, Toledo Loafer, an all Polish-speaking comedy which will be shown in the Woodward auditorium on Thursday, March 28, are nearing com- pletion. Returns from this performance will be used to finance a one--year De- Sales scholarship to be presented on Recognition Day to a meritorious club member.

Woodward's Engi- neering Society has achieved this result by sponsoring an annual trip to Greenfield Village and the Ford plant. Practically every phase of education is covered by this trip. For the history student, there are innumerable historic buildings and relics, for the science student, Edison's original laboratory may be seeng for students interested in mechanics, electricity, or machinery, a personally conducted tour is scheduled in the Ford plant, and finally, for the artistic Woodwardite, the Ford Rotunda will be open for inspection. Education, enjoyment, and a grand time are of- fered by the trip. The extremely low price of 51.25 cannot begin to pay for these benefits. Notice This Change? OR THE PAST FEW W E E K S, t h e teachers have been asked to clamp down on all hall permits. They have also been asked to keep a close check on the whereabouts of each one. As a result there has been less slipping by the hall guards, and fewer people loitering in the halls. Both teachers and pupils have shown excellent co- operation regarding these hall passes. Let's keep up the good work and see how long we can maintain this better hall pass system. Tattler Plank No. 3 F A VISITOR should happen to come to Wood- ward shortly after lunch hour, what sight would greet his eyes? Spick and span halls without a trace of waste paper? No! Halls littered with wax paper, sacks, apple cores, milk bottles and other debris too numerous to mention. This is a regrettable condition which could easily be remedied by the students themselves. Students with the proper school spirit and any sense of clean- liness whatever should have enough respect and re- gard toward the appearance of their school to help keep it clean. So how about it kids, do we have a better, olean- er looking school from now on? Happy Vacation, Kids! LAY HARD kids! Next week brush aside thoughts of the old school grind. Forget tests, homework, and that teacher. Work hard kids! When school convenes again, come back refreshed and raring to go. We'll wager the majority will be eager to get back in the swing again. Are we-right? P. S. The Tattler hopes Mr. Easter Bunny will be generous to all of you. Isn't It Swell LTHOUGH basket ball season is over,not one sports fan will forget the excellent record of our team. The fine showing that the boys made in the city league has made the school proud of them. Every player is to be commended on the showing of sportsmanship at the tournament at the T. U. field house on Wednesday, March 6. F PRINCIPAL POINTS I -I , Alexander Graham Bell spoke the first I - i' message over his newly invented tele- 5 , phone. Mr. Average Citizen, exercising I . his good old American prerogrative of , 3 if saying what he pleases, predicted that 'J che newly invented gadget would be and -if only could be a mere toy to amuse the idle and those who had the wealth to invest in it. Today it is one of the greatest single assets to our modern commercial life. Before that, the great invention, the telegraph, had been dubbed useless in the same way. The first automobile, minus top, windshield, fenders, doors, lamps, and other accessories, was looked upon in the same manner. Wilbur and Orville Wright were considered crackpots for trying to fly a heavier-than-air machine, and even after they succeeded, predictions were freely made that air travel never could be a practical affair. Today there are air lines which cover all parts of the United States and most foreign countries, carrying thousands of passengers and tons of mail and freight. In spite of all these wouderful inventions there are still skeptics who are quick to say it can't be donef' that everything has been invented and dis- covered that is worthwhile. Many young people absorb this can't be done philosophy. When characteristics of these men who have done such wonderful things are examined, one is struck by their very commonplace and ordinary methods. A little education, a great deal of perseverance, and a tremendous amount of hard work has been the difference between success and failure. The fact that pactically all the great mechanical inventions and devices in science have come in the last century should prove to us that we are just be- ginning. Future inventors and great scientists need the advantage of a good education. Let's get it now.

Here we list three of whom we feel you will most easily recognize. There is the industrious pupil, who with nose in book collides with everyone, then backs away, still gazing at his book and mutters angrily, Watch out where you're going. After all, you're not the only one that walks around these halls. Then there is the type, that is the inveterate gimcrack whose voice is always heard above the confusion. This same specimen guffaws loudly at the latest Confucius Say quips. The third type is the one who is perpetually attempting to breaka mcord with himself. How many times can I travel around the halls before the bell rings? Other students automatically make way on sighting this human whilwind bearing down on them.

Before sailing, I witnessed a game by the New York Yankees, managed by George Aubry, an old school mate of mine. I decided to follow up this sport in England in the form of cricket, in which Grady Sweisgood was star. While in London, my life was saved by Budd Silvers, a traffic bobbie, in the foggy streets of London. I journeyed across the continent 10 visit my former partner in deviltry, Harry Jacobs, lounging on the spacious grounds of his home on the Riviera. After a prolonged stay at his mansion, I traveled through the desert to India. Here I unexpectedly discovered Eugene Batesole, disguised as a Rajah, seated on a pedestal surrounded by wives galore. Australia was my next stop. There I was fed on mutton by Harold Hildebrand, millionaire sheep raiser. In Hawaii Ruth Shasteen attempted to teach me the fundementals of hula-hula. This proved too much for me, however, andI made tracks for home, stopping 05' at Mexico where I caught a glimpse of Willie Santus,industriously plowing behind a team of oxen. QFarming always was his life ambition! I detoured around to Hollywood to see Billie Kruger, the womenis idol, and then sped home, de- ciding that Toledo would do for me. Oomic Oapers The Toonerville Folks took in a Side Show to see the Weekly Inventions. Among those present were Popeye with Olive Oyle and Li'l Abner escorting Daisy Mae. Tarzan attracted Olive Oyle while Daisy Mae had eyes only for Super- man. To even the score Li'l Abner began an af- fair with Tillie the Toiler but Good Deed Dotty saved the day by patching things up. The Katzenjammer Kids, looking for ex- citement, started a brawl with Winnie Winkle's gang and upset Apple Mary's cart. Mandrake stole the show by making Little Orphan Annie disappear, but Dick Tracy de- tected her. Flash Gordon and Buddy Rogers came back to earth to stay. The boys said, Them Days Is Gone Forever.

And speaking of sailing, suppose we do just that, and let all you studious s h ip m a t e s drop anchor. Adios! To Sleep Or Not To Sleep With vacation coming next week, yours truly has decided to make a careful schedule of her timeg so as to accomplish all the little things that need accomplishing. Monday---Sleep! Making up for lost time is a duty I owe to myself. Shall further my education by getting up to hear Lux Theatre. Tuesday--Shall only sleep till noon. During the afternoon I shall think very seriously about doing homework. Must start getting ready at six for date with one and only. He arrives at eight. Wednesday---Will sleep! Will be dutiful and read my novel for English for fifteen minutes. Then attack that pile of comic books. Variety, you know. Thursday--Shall interrupt much needed rest, and get up at 11. My homework nerves require the soothing eHect of a picture show. Friday---Vacations are interesting when one is accomplishing things. Shall think very hard about homework, but shall probably decide that my inspiration isn't ripe. Must try to find several hours in my busy day for shopping. Saturday and Sunday--A regular weekend, meaning that I shall not have time for homework. Will finish sleeping program. THE WOODWARD TATTLER HANHAM'S RECORD BREAKING BILL COPELAND RECOGNIZED Diminutive Bear Forward! Smashes Tournament Records This week the Tattler pays tribute to one of the most outstanding basket- ball players ever to attend a Toledo high school. His name, Bill Copeland. Upon graduating from Chase school, Bill entered Woodward and succeeded as a player on the freshman team. He led his team-mates in scoring with 99 points and sparked the team funder the guidance of coach David Weisbergj to a number of victories. As a sophomore, this wonder boy of Woodward played on the varsity and netted himself 25 points, and was the youngest player on the team. This was the year that the team journeyed to Columbus to the State tournament. In his junior year, Copeland competed with some of the tallest players in the history of Toledo high schools and came in fifth place in the city scoring race with 118 points. Bill led the intra-city race with 139 points in league competition and 25 in tournament for a total of 164 points. During the tournament game, Copeland broke two records. He scored the high- est number of points per tournament game when he netted 25 against Central, and he scored 8 points in the last minute of game play to lead his team into a thrilling overtime game. Bill, who is graduating this year, has played four ye a rs of basketball as a Polar Bear. This flash on the hard- wood is 5' 55 tall, and was recog- nized as the smallest local high school player in his junior year. N Spring Football Practice Spring football practice is the next activity on Woodward's athletic schedule. Beginning March 1, every able boy will be given a chance to prove himself on the gridiron. It is through this informal practice that championship teams are whipped into shape. Football is not all glory, and it needs the coopera- tion of every individual, not as separate boys merely attempting to make the team, but as a boy desiring in every way possible to better the team as a whole. Coach Jack Taylor is convinced that Woodward's chances in 1940 are very good. Players coming back next year include Jack McKenzie, Jim Tima, Leon Konz, Dick Koster, Bernard and Leonard Burns, Bob Raymer, John R a c z k o, Walt Shimmins, Jim Tucker, Bob Myne- der, and his brother,John Myneder, who has returned to school after an absence of a year. A number of p r o min e n t reserve players will strengthen the team in many posi- tions, mainly in the line. However, no position whatsoever will be determined until every boy has been given a chance to prove himself. Intra-mural Championships Won By Trojans, Polish Lits As the basketball intra-mural tour- nament ended, The Polish Lits led the club with 7 wins. Len Dembowski paced the squad with 67 points. In the freshman tournament, the Trojans received high honors with 6 games won, 1 lost. High point man of the five was Irvin Wisniewski with 41 marks. Subs Take Over During the past week, several substi- tutes have taken over the classes of absent members of the W o o d w a r d faculty. Mrs. J. Osborn substituted for Mrs. Hazel McManamong Mrs. T. Clemeur took over the teaching of Mrs. Eva Leu's advanced typing and shorthand classes, and Miss E. Conlin substituted for Miss Edna McLaughlin. INTEREST CENTERS ON SPRING SPORTS Baseball coach Leo Robie and Assist- ant Paul Lankenau issued a call last Tuesday for baseball players. Their main weakness seems to emanate from the pitcher's mound where they have no especially strong men. Golf Howard Phipps, the brains behind the golf team, stated that he would not issue a call for golf until after spring vacation, at which time he hopes the Ottawa Park course will be improved. Track In response to Coach Bill Fetter's call for thinclad enthusiasts, over 100 candidates turned out for track prac- tice. Mr. Fetters announced, at a meeting held last week in room 305, that of the 365 points garnered in last years meets 335 of them had graduated. This leaves almost every position on the squad open. The Woodward thinclads first city track participation will take place at Scott on April 16. Tennis Tennis coach George Rohrer stated that he would issue acall for the tennis team shortly after spring vacation. At present we are hoping for good weather so we can start practice the minute we have our team organized. We probably will practice at the Bayview Park courts. Our prospects for the com- ing season are good, asserted Mr. Rohrer.

The Faculty game was marked by numerous spills which caused many laughs, especially when handsome Jack Taylor tripped over Lenny Dembrow- ski's pedal extremities and sprawled all over the iioor in a very undigni- iied manner. Time after time, Bill Fetters. barged into one of the luck- less L:ts. Despite the physical beat- ing they took, the pedogogues led by Taylor's nine points, managed to eke out a victory. In a slow uneventful game between the Juniors and Seniors, the latter, led by Haddad and McFarland with four and three points respectively, ended up on the long end of the score.

Miss Marian McDonough can't quite ma k e up her mind whether to leave home or not, but she would like to go to Washington, D. C., and attend Congress. The call of learning must be great in Mrs. Eula Upp's ears. Not content with making Woodwardites study hard, she states she is going to study hard for a Master's degree during the holiday. All are not wanderlusts, however, for William Fetters and Art Smith are both going to turn painters and do their kitchens up proud. Except for our more energetic instruc- tors, contented sighs, accompanied by Oh! I'm going to rest, were emitted concerning the resting spell. Here's hoping all will feel reinforced after the vacation.

Miss MacDonald, or Mrs. Gene Ray- mond, is a native of Philadelphia, which she remembers particularly for its ice cream, her favorite food. She made it known that she is an expert at making this delicacy too. When questioned about her high school studies and activities, the guest artist stated, I remember that I was very stupid in algebra, but I did well in English and grammar. French was always her favorite subject. She was her class representative to the school organization corresponding to our Student Council, and was also class monitor. West Philadelphia high school was then a girls' school, thus when The Mikado was presented Miss MacDonald played the male role of Nanky Poo. The prima donna planned a musical career since childhood and studied in Philadelphia and New York. Her advice to those interested in a singing vocation is to study everything connected with music and as many languages as pos- sible, and to make good at home Hrst. Miss MacDonald is very superstitious and revealed one of her favorite super- stitions. Ulf your initials spell a word, it's supposed to mean good luck, she explained I retained my good luck when I married, as I went out of the J. A. M. into the J. A. R. Her middle name is Anne. Among the star's favorites are La Fille de Cadiz, her favorite song, La Boheme, best-liked opera, green, favor- ite color, fishing trips, preferred type of vacation, swimming and riding, most enjoyed sports, and evening gowns, favorite attire. However, in regard to clothes, she admitted that she lives mostly in slacks when at home. If Miss, MacDonald joins the Metro- politan Opera Company as she has been asked to do, it will not be for two years. However, her ambition is the concert stage. She likes working in the movies as they reach many people, but she en- joys a visible audience, too.

Oral expression pupils will be free to give speeches about the work of the Community Chest in any first hour class. Faculty donations will be given to Floyd Lords, teachers' representative. Tattler Sponsors Affair For Newswriting Groups At Park The Tattler Staff will be host of a party to be given on Friday, April 12, from 7:30 to 11:00 o'clock at the Ottawa Park Shelter House for the Print Shop boys who assist in publishing the Tat- tler, and for the members of the sixth hour Journalism class.

Woodward's Sophomore Class Deans There is nothing I like better than handling 320 sophomore boys. However, some of them have quite a few dying grandmothers whose number, so far, has not been determined, was the ironically humorous comment of Clyde Meek when approached for this interview. For ten years, Mr. Meek has had the difiicult but enjoyable faccording to himj task of deaning Woodward's sophomore boys. Mr. Meek finds that the excuses sophomore boys use when absent are many and varied, but that the most common, and at the same time most truthful alibi, is sickness. When not acting in the capacity of a dean, Mr. Meek is kept busy fulfilling his duties as a teacher and as head of the athletic department. The former finds him in room 308 instructing first year algebra and general mathematics classes. The latter gives him the task of looking after activities tickets and the athletic fund. According to Miss Gr a c e Cronk adviser for the sophomore girls, the life of a dean is packed with old as well as new adventures. Absences have their humorous side. Too many students indulge in hot dogs, hamburgers, cakes, pies, and pickles before retiring. The next morning finds them moaning over unexplainable pains in the stomach. However, the chief reason for absences is colds. Among Miss Cronk's duties, besides checking attendance and tardiness, are to help keep order and discipline, and to advise the girls with daily personal problems. When Miss Cronk is not deep in thought over her feminine group, she is supervising the welfare department or is on duty in the cafeteria during the first lunch period. As a whole, the sophomore girls give her very little trouble because they usually have good reasons for being absent or tardy. Be the problem big or small, We are sure to answer all. U U C Dear Polah Bayer, It has been revealed that Dorothy Walczak, sophomore, has a secret ob- session for a certain tall, blond, junior boy. Would it be asking too much if you would reveal the boy's name? Curious, Billy Dear Kurious Kid, It would be no trouble at all. The junior lad happens to be Nolan Ryan, one of the players of the lightweight basketball team. That was easy, Professor Whiz l 1 I Dear Wonder Boy, Since this is Leap Year, would it be proper to ask the boys for dances at the Sophrolic tonight? Waiting, A Wallflower Dear Dangling Forget-me-not, That would be the best way to elimi- nate the stagline. It seems there are some fellows who are just too too bashful! Don't forget, P. B. Dear Cupid, Who is the tall nice-looking girl who I see walking with Jean Marzec and Irene Hintz before school and during the second hour lunch period every day? What can I do to meet her? Can you fix it? An admirer Dear Victim, I see you have been missing a lot. She is Eleanor Sieczkowski, sophmore An introduction can be arranged any time if you get in touch with her two girlfriends. Ain't love grand? Fixer-upper O O O Dear Walking Encyclopedia, I am not taking a girl to the Sophrolic so I am wondering if it would be correct to ask one for several dances even if she came with an escort? Worried, J. B. Dear Unknown, It would be all right if she hasn't them reserved by her escort or another person, but don't ask her too often. Change Partners, Voice of Information Eight Students Get Passes For Last Of The Mohicans Lucky winners of the noon movie drawing were Cecil Collins, Jim Valen- tine, Alice Dyer, and Bill Hiser from fourth hour, Betty Burkhardt, Anges Zienteek Eddie Cooper, and Virgina Dukes from fifth hour.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER FIRST PLACE OPEN TO BEAR BO WLERS McMahon, Kerwin, Feltman, Antoszewski, Set Bear Bowling Records Woodward's bowling teams ended the regular season last Saturday with more than their share cf league honors. The two weeks of bowling left should have been played at the beginning ofthe sea- son, but, due to the six weeks of vaca- tion last December and January, will be made up on the next two Saturdays. The standings at the present find the Nationals tied for second place with the Irish five. Although DeVilbiss has atwo game lead on the Nats, their first place hold is far from secure. The American 1-ague pinsters are just below the place line in fourth position, trailing the Irish by four games. Pinsters Set Records Bowling shirts, given out for high in- dividual and total scores, were present- ed to John McMahon, captain of the Nats, and Bob Kerwin of the Ameri- cans.

On the National team, Antoszewski leads his mates in season's averages with a 176, Zychowicz and McMahon place second and third with averages of 175 and 161, respectively. Feltman paces the Amerks with a season aver- age of 168 while Young, with 166, and Kerwin, with l64, rank second and third. Woodward failed to place in the an- nual high school head pin tournament held March 16. The winners of this tournament were presented with bow- ling shoes and bowling checks. Tomorrow morning the Nationals battle with Whitmer and the Ameri- cans will attempt to down the DeVil- biss five.

TRAINING STARTED ISPRING BASEBALL TRACK, GOLF TEASM BY BEAR GRIDDERS PRACTICE BEGINS ADJUST SCHEDULES About 100 Tryouts Report To Coach Taylor For Drills Twenty-two veteran varsity and lightweight football players, together with about 80 other boys, have been working out after school every night on spring practice. The boys will work out for the next three weeks. The squadsmen returning from last year's varsityandlightweightteamsare' Dick Koster, Jack McKenzie, Leonard Burns, Bob Ramer, Leon Konz, Jim Tucker, Bernard Burns, John Rarner, Norm Pryzbycz, Clifford Frankowski, Ralph Zychowicz, John Potts, Bob Bortels, Walter Shimmin, Paul Cramer, Bill Crosley, Jim Fritch, Dalton Hille, and Paul Boes. Coach Jack Taylor stated, We tried our best to give every one a suit and an even break, but all the small juniors without experience, and little sopho- mores who aren't expected to grow into stars before next fall, have been dropped to make room for the larger boys needed on the squad. The coaching staff, consisting of Coach Taylor, Dave McMurray, Bill Fetters, Paul Lankenau, L. C. Clark, and Bob Snyder, who is a professional player with the Chicago Bears, is hoping for a quick change in the weather. Their reason for holding spring practice early is to interfere with baseball as little as possible. The Hrst week was used largely to condi- tion the squads for their next work, that of drilling on the fundamental plays of football. During the third week, after being divided into squads, scrimmaging will be held. The fourth and final week is to be used for the polishing up of next year's squad with one or two games with other schools. In commenting on what he thought of the squad up until now Coach Taylor stated, I believe we'll have a much faster offense and as good if not better defense than that of last year. All the players who are to play on any of the squads next year will be notified by the end of the training period. Richard Birner, freshmen, seemed qnite interested in a DeVildiss lassie at the Fasces Club skate. What's the matter with the gtsls at Wooaward, Richard?

It's Time For Spring Sports HE COMING of spring heralds the beginning of the spring sports season. Boys who intend to play football next school year are out trying to land a position of either the lightweight or varsity squads. Others, unable to qualify for football, now have the opportunity to test their skills at one of the spring sports: golf, track, tennis, or baseball. Surely from such a large selection, each boy who wishes to participate in Woodward's athletic pro- gram can find a sport suitable to his ability and requirements.

George Hewes, head of the Blade safety campaigng Charles Byers, Times photographerg Howard Warwick, copy and make-up editor for the Blade, and Paul Schrader were guest speakers at the eighth annual Northwestern Ohio Scholastic J o u rn al is m Association meeting at T. U. last week. Once a thing is written in black and white it can't be denied, declared Paul Schrader, news editor of the Toledo Times. The world is crying for truth. A writer must find the truth and prepare it so the reader can understand the truth and know it is the truth. Mr. Schrader u rge s all would-be journalists to develop inquisitiveness and get a good solid education in politics, sports, literature, fiction, for- eign languages, and history. A good story always writes itself, George Howes, Blade reporter, informed student journalists. 'The city editor is always right, and Mr. Hewes cited some of his experiences with city editors. Howard Warwick, copy and make-up editor on the Blade staff, stressed the need ofa large vocabulary in newspaper work. Have plenty of synonyms. Use descriptive verbs. The writing of headlines is a very important task. Headlines draw anews- paper reader's interestg they induce him to read or not to read a story, stated Mr. Warwick. Education, imagination, clarity of ideas, and planning of pictures---these are all necessary qualities for a news- paper photographerj' informed Charles Byers, Times photographer. Jane Searles, Elaine Roach, Phyllis Hendrickson, Marilyn Schoonmaker, Patty Hammontree, June Knowles, and Mildred Hall attended the meeting.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER MUNICIPAL LEADER GRANTS INTERVIEW Woman Behind The News Is Bertha Hascal l i r Bertha Hascal Woman behind the news! That title rightfully belongs to Bertha Hascal, president of the Municipal Club. Of this year's events, Bertha is chairman of the Municipal skate on May 10, chairman of that organization's plan to hold assembly dances as its project for Gayety Niteg and one of the more im- portant cogs in the Toledo School radio work. I make it a point to enjoy every- thing I do, exclaimed the senior girl. This explains her popularity and suc- cess in whatever she does. Descending into Bertha's past years in school, one is amazed to find that among her many posts have been an honor roll student for four year'sg a leading actress in sophomore a nd junior plays, head of last year's Munici- pal Club banquetg junior class treasurer and a former president of the Spanish Club. But this National Honor Society member proves to be no book worm, as one might imagine, but a girl full of pep and appreciation for everything. Dancing is my favorite pastime, stated Bertha.Friends that know her find that her quiet, rich humor lights many a dull day. Did You Know That To complement the 2200 announce- ments which have been ordered, 200 extra have been sent to Woodward in case any senior wishes to purchase more than he has ordered. li Approximately 25 Zets visited the gohnson Furniture Company, Thurs- ay. Only three students have signed up Sith Mr. Lords to solicit for Gayety ite. The German Club has already donat- ed 15 dollars to the Gayety Nite fund - l . The Engineering Society is planning another dance at the Toledo Yacht Club to be given during May. Place Of Party Changed The Tattler party which was original- ly planned to be held in Ottawa Park Shelterhouse Friday, April 12, will be held in Wilson Park Shelterhouse.

Cabinet members, Dorothy Urbanow- ski, Jeanne Rydman, Esther Zak and Irene Kolinski are arranging this affair. SENIORS REMOVE DANCING HAZARDS New Features Introduced By Seniors At First Dancing Class Last Monday was April Fool's Day, and no one got fooled more than the Woodwardites who failed to attend the first Senior Prom dancing class. This initial rug-cutting event boasted sever- al features unusual to Woodward dancers. Item 1: Due to the hard work of the Prom committee, a complicated plan was worked out to eliminate the well-known gentlemen's paradise, the stag-line. Congratulations to the Seniors for conceiving and executing the delicate system of admitting only those students who had signed petitions. lThey wouldn't even let the press in without his signaturej The attendance result of their plan is obvious, but they did eliminate the stag-line. Item 2: Plenty of room to dance. Only our brilliant upper classmen could have a solution to this problem. Could it be done? Ah, a solution. Less people there, more room to dance. And as we have said before, there was plenty of room. To give the rest of the students in the upper bracket a chance to use and enjoy these long-sought-after luxuries, all juniors and seniors were invited to attend the next dancing classes free. Guess I'd better go now or I'll miss my train out of town. Senior Activity Calendar Planned At Class Meeting Definite dates on which the remaining senior activities will be held constituted the chief discussion at the last senior class meeting. In order of occurrence they are: Senior Prom, April 19g Senior Banquet, May 14 or 21, Baccalaureate Service at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, May 26g and commencement, May 29.

After the main course of the meal, pie a la mode and and coffee were served. During the dinner, the boys engaged in friendly arguments with Mr. Meek, who is Woodward's athletic directory it seems there is a never-dying contro- versy over athletic equipment. After the dinner, the guests were escorted into the lounging room, where everyone seemed to be very much at ease. A card table was set up and the more ambitious fellows participated in a game of cards, while the others enjoyed a scrap-book history of Mr. Hanham's life.

A Track coach Bill Fetters has issued track shoes to a number of boys who want to get out early and loosen those muscles that became stiff from lack of practice. During the past few weeks of spring practice, the number of trials for the football team has been cut from over a hundred to sixty. It looks like the baseball team will gave to wait a few days until the field ries. Have you noticed how much more difficult it is to cut the gym lately? Olin Borough, former W o o d w a r d basketball and grid star has passed the exam which makes hi m eligible to become a policeman. Gym instructors are hoping for a large response to their call for mixed doubles in badminton, table tennis, and shufiieboard. Along with the baseball players, the golf team is hoping for a drier course so that they may get into the swing of spring sports. -l-i Muddy Field Hampers New Football Team's Practice Although the Weatherman played numerous tricks on the boys and Coach Taylor, an ample amount of football practice completed this week. Last Monday the boys journeyed outf doors for the Hrst real work-out of the season. Jack Taylor and Bill Fetters guided the tryouts through some stiff tackling and driving practice. On Tuesday, our never tiring candi- dates worked through the fundamen- tals of blocking and sprinting. After a brief and tiresome workout, they were ordered to take three laps around the track and report back on Wednesday. Not to be out-done, Mr. Weatherman stepped in and showered just enough to hold up practice. . If the weather permits, Coach Taylor is planning a few practice games before the season closes. This is many weeks in the future, and many a sore muscle ailment will be suffered before the boys can show their stuff against any out- side competition. , To Address Freshmen Principal C. C. LaRue will talk to all freshmen on April 8 during the as- sembly period in the auditorium. Mr. LaRue's talk will be on the freshmen visits to the vocational high schools on April 19.

Don't Be A Squelcher! gg UDDY, can you spare a dime? On April 4, 11, and 18, when collections are made for the Community Chest fund, shake that piggy bank. Woodward's quota will be reached only if every student contributes one thin dime to this cause. What does ten cents mean to you? Two candy bars? Two-thirds of a package of cigarettes? One- half the admission to a movie? Or, maybe, a tube of lipstick? . . Do you know what that mite of silver means to the wards of the Community Chest? It will help provide food, clothing, warmth, and housing for thousands who are in dire need of immediate aid. Don't be a squelcher!! The Community Chest is a city-wide project and touches every individual. Super Salesmen Wanted HIS YEAR, Principal C. C. L a Rue and those other faculty members who are in charge of Gayety Nite have set aside a shorter period than ever before in which to conduct the sale of the carnival tickets. This committee believes, and we agree, that a shorter, more intensified drive for the annual sale will bring equal, if not superior results. However, this, or any other school-sponsored program, can- not succeed unless it is backed by the wholeheart- ed cooperation of both students and faculty. As in previous years, the tickets will be dis- tributed through home rooms. This means that a large part of the responsibilty will fall on each teacher, whose attitude, if enthusiastic, will in no small measure be responsible for the carnival's success. ' Many teachers create enthusiasm by such meth- ods as individual or group contests. Each student should see to it that he, personally, is doing his ut- most to promote any such' campaign originated by his home room teacher, for only through com- bined eifort can we hope to attain our goal. Hall of Fame ' This week, the Tattler toasts those students who have worked unselfeshly during the year on various club or school affairs, to those who have given their time and energy to make their projects suc- cesses, and have not received a word of thanks or recognition in return. We lift the cup of Cheer to you pupils. I NCIPAL POINTS I During the days between April 9 and f - 22, all citizens of Toledo will have the ' 'A11 .jg opportunity of contributing to the A Community Chest. We cannot speak of it this as just a civic duty. There is XX L 5 , , something too harsh and cold in that X Z i ' phrase. An overflowing Community Chest will prove to ourselves and to the world that Toledo really has a heart that goes out to our citizens who have experienced reverses and suffering during the past years. We have read protests from writers in the opinions columns of our daily papers against giving to Finland or Polish sufferers. These protestors have proclaimed vehemently that we should take care of our own first. The opportunity for doing just that is now here. Let's hear no more complain- ing. Now we need action. The thirty-eight agencies to whom our money is to be entrusted have all met the tests of honest and reliable spending for the needy. Everyone does some vital civic work necessary for the care of underprivileged groups. In a broad civic enter- prize such as this, one should not discriminate against any race or creed. However, the Chest allows discrimination if the donor cares to make it. Remember the date and get ready to share just as generously as you can. -111.1-gl.

Things Things I'm tired of hearing: Corny 'Confucius Say jokes--that the younger generation is going to the dogs---what the girls are going to wear to the Senior Prom---the alarm clock in the morning--Art Reginold talking about his girl friends at the lake. 1 1 Q Things I'm tired of seeing: The same people on the bus every morning---the little white slips that come from the class deans---the same couples walking around the halls together be- fore school--the inevitable assignments on the black- board. ! O U Things I never tire of: Glenn Miller's orchestra--listening to the reasons s t u d e n ts give for not having their homework-- Spring---not doing my homework--the bell on Friday at 2:30--- C schedule. Ah, Spring! When you get that drowsy feeling, And you want to sleep all day. When your senses start to reeling And you begin to wish for May. Don't try to find a reason - For this thing that's come to stay Just blame it on the season And your nerves will be o.k.

Thus far the squad has been pretty well cut. A majority ofthe juniors have been dropped and most of the freshmen suits have been turned in because of a shortage of lockers. However, some of the freshmen will be given another chance during the last week of practice. The squad has been divided into two sections, one of these being used as a nucleus for next year's reserve squad. STUDENTS ASSIST IN FINGERPRINTING Twenty-Seven Boys To Work With Junior Chamber Of Commerce Because thousands of unidentified persons are killed and injured each year, the Toledo Junior Chamber of Commerce is providing finger printing facilities at the schools for those stu- dents and faculty members voluntarily desiring to place their prints in the National Civil Identification file. C. C. LaRue will be the Hrst to be finger-printed at Woodward, followed by the faculty members and then the students who have their parents' signature on the bulletins distributed Wednesday. All faculty members have consented to have their prints recorded with the exception of Mrs. Mary O'Brien who had hers taken when she attended a' Red Cross Convention in Washington last year. Student Assistants Twenty-seven boys were chosen from the study halls to help in this project. Don Krell, John Madiz, John Trazolow- ski, and Frank Whalen will work first hourg James Brehany, Albert Kramer, I and Edwin Wieczynski will work sec- ond hourg Jack Stenberg, Eugene Boglanski, Eugene Wieterzjnski, and Oliver Sherman, third hourg Leonard Bromer, Horatio Jex, Robert Janczew- ski, and Lowell Baker, fifth hour, and Walter Skotynski, Don Bialecki, Charles Hartwick, Clarence Krohn, and Mike Kaczorowski, sixth hourg and Melvin Grzybowski, Cliff Manore, Nolan Ryan, Bill Gernhauser, Harold Carle, Francis Gorski, and Bob Gerwin, seventh hour Achievement Dance To Be Presented By Pulaski Club The Pulaski Club will hold its Achivement Dance on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Falcons' Hall.

The scholar- ships which are for DeSales college are awarded to an outstanding girl in Woodward who studies Polish. FROSH TO PAY VISIT TO TRADE SCHOOL Macomber, Harriet Whitney Schools To Be Scene Of Tours E. L. Clark In order to decide whether or not they are interested in attending either of the Toledo Vocational high schools, all freshmen will visit these schools for a half day next Friday, April 19. The boys and girls will report to Macomber and Harriet Whitney s c h o o 1 e, re- spectively at 9 a.m where they will meet their teachers. The boy will assemble in the audi- torium where Principal Fre d Dan- nenfelser of Macomber will greet them. A tour of the building during which they will have the opportunity to observe students at work, will com- plete the visit. The program which the freshmen girls will follow at the Harriet Whitney s cho ol is being supervised by Miss Ethel Wooden, principal of the school. Principal C. C. LaRue, who arranged the tour, will accompany the freshmen who will return to Woodward in char- tered busses in time for afternoon classes. Teachers who are going with the students are E. L. Clark, Miss Betty Nelson, Miss Helen Marie Griffin, Miss Dorothea Bishop, A. J. Brown, Floyd Lords, A. D. Johnson, L. C. Clark, Miss Katherine Tobin, Elmer Wohler, Mrs. Isla Van Vranken, Miss Belle Joseph, Joe Dence, O. M. Thompson and Joy Mohrhardt. FORD TRIP-ERS HAVE WONDERFUL TIME Five buses pulled up to Woodward ' on the Streicher street side at 8:15, April 4, to take 125 boys on the long-awaited trip to the Edison Institute at Greenfield Village and Henry Ford's Rotunda and various factories. The buses left Toledo at 8:35 and arrived in Dearborn at 9:55 a. m. The first bus was occupied by the Engineering Society, the second by a freshman and sophomore group, the third contained the Electrical Club. the fourth was filled by Alchemist members, and the fifth bus was e mixture of late signers. One faculty member was present at all times in each bus. They were William Rohr, Lawrence Nuber, A. R. Bitter, O. M. Thompson, and Charles Staneart. Twc Community Traction Company inspec- tors also were in the first bus. Upon arriving at the Edison Institute the groups split into several different p artie s and were shown the various points of interest throughout the Vil- lage. Among the most interesting and inspiring historicals s h o w n were an- cient s t o r e s and mills, 18th century houses and furniture, and the L o g a n County courthouse. The chair in which Lincoln was shot drew the most atten- tion. An exhibition s h o W i n g the pro- gress in the fields of agriculture, power, and transportatian was also shown. Scientific highlights included Edison's original laboratory and inventions, an ancient tin type studio, and the glass blowing plant. Leaving the Village at 12:30, the bus- es took the boys to the Rotunda, where the latest Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln Zephyr models were seen and approved of by the o b s e r v in g Woodwardites. Dinner was eaten in the cafeteria of the Ford Executive Building just across from the Rotunda. The last stop of the tour was made it the giant Ford River Rouge Plant. Fhese factories comprised a total area of 12,000 acres. Stops at the tire factory, assembly lines, blast furnaces, and glass olant proved to be the most interesting. Various methods of passing the time while on the buses were sleeping, eating, playing card games, reading funny mag- azines, and annoying others. The prize stunt that pulled the most laughs was thought up by John McMahon when he gently woke Bill Prebe by giving him the hot foot. Best snapshot of the day was a candid picture of Dick Bentley. Due to the demand set forth by many girls that they should be permitted to go along on such a trip,Mr. Rohr stated that if enough girls signed with him re- questing a tour, he would try to arrange , one. E Carnival Capers You have your tickets to the annual carnival so plague your friends, rela- tives, and neighbors until they break. Coffee and good old German coffee cake will be available under a canopy of stars at ye Old Coffee Shop in room 118, the big night. Correction from last week's Tattler Clyde Van Tassel's visual education group will have charge of the movie in room 124 instead of the Engineering Society as previously stated. The Engineering group will sell man- ufactured candy. Persistence and politeness will sell more ducats to Gayety Nite than any modern high faluting methods. Home made candy, as only Miss Angela Abair's cooking classes can make it, will be on sale at the Peri booth. Conquistadores are up to their old tricks again, so if you possess any gam- bling fever at all, visit the Spanish lot- tery the cafeteria, Gayety Nite, and be- come a millionaire or a pauper. Wanted: Chicken wish bones fold and newl by Miss Anne Wetterman to be transformed and sold at the fortune telling booth, May 3. In order to fill up the blank spaces between the booths, Miss Dorothy Pasch, Mrs. Isla Van Vranken, and Miss Dorothea Bishop will decorate with crepe paper. More kids are needed to solicit for Gayety Nite. Come on kids, see Floyd Lords and offer your services. You will be able to quench your thirst by quaffing orangeade and soft drinks at the Fasces booth in front of the trophy case. Remember--only the twenty highest home rooms will see the Gayety Nite program in the auditorium Wednesday, April 17. Incidentally, you can't even conceive what kind of a program is in store for you---be a go-getter over the week end and hand in your luckylucre first thing Monday morning. Are there no popular members in your club? Why not give the other clubs some competition? Enter someone in the Zet Popularity contest. Bob Semler is the favorite son of the Auto Mechan- ics and Harold Okorowski will be back- ed by the Mechanical Club. Petitions For Next Year's Council Members Taken Out Petitions for next year's student coun- cil members were taken out this week. The freshman and sophomore classes are each entitled to three represent- atives on the council and the junior and senior classes have four each.

Spring came and with it brought sunshine, rain and warmth. Our struggles were over---or so we thought. Then tramp, tramp came the marching feet of an army of lazy students who preferred to massacre us rather than walk on the sidewalk. We will gladly fight a hundred blizzards without iiinching, but we will revolt if VVoodward students continue to crush us, just to save a few steps. A. Blade of Grass and Co. Calm Before The Storm QC HE WORST is over now. So said some of us after having received our grade cards yesterday. That's a comforting thought, but it has a slightly disturbing note. Next May we'll have to face the same ordeal again. And the time between now and next May constitutes our last chance to make a decent showing in order to be promoted. After the house cleaning our grade cards have given us, let's endeavor to keep our records clean and free from the dirt of failure. Aflix Your Autograph AVE YOU signed a Senior Prom petition?

Learn Advantages Of Local University VERY YEAR students from Toledo University present a program at Woodward to explain the advantages of attending the local univer- sity. On April 16, seniors will be given the privilege of hearing these students in the school auditorium. Later in May, the upperclassmen will be invited to attend High School Day at the University.

On The Bookshelf 'flnside Asia ---John Gunther This book describes the author's own personal experiences and views on the important figures and happenings in Asia today. His informative ma- terial was gathered from a total area of 30,000 miles covered by steamship, railway, airplane, and motor car. The leading personalities in each country were interviewed and their political ideas and ambitions were described in the book. The war that is waging on the Eastern coast is also ably covered by Mr. Gunther. His idea as to the ultimate arrangement of the countries of Asia is very interesting. The question of the possibility of various alliances is answered by the author in the words of the political leaders of Asia.

A friend Dear Chummy, Thanks for the correction. Which creates an excellent opportunity for me to request that all letters to me have the names printed and the classes mentioned. Please, comply, Polah Bayer Dear Adviser Bayer, Is Cupid at her old tricks again? Looks to me like she's victimized Gertrude Koeppe and Jack Eaglin this time. Allergic to noise, Mouse Dear Shhhhhhhh, Yes, Cupid is trying hard, but of course I know that Gertrude's heart still is the sole property of LeRoy Hansen. I like noise, Loud Bayer Dear Heart Helper, Since Florence Widlund and Charles Keip have come to the parting in the road, who will Whity work on next? Snoop Dear Fellow Snoop, It's hard tellin, but Katy Moungie, cute soph, wishes oh so much that it will be she. By the way, what do you mean by work on ? Or did I guess? Miss Bayer I I Dear Miss Bayer, For a long time now you've kept us guessing as to who you are, how old you are, and what you look like. Don't you think you've kept us in suspense long enough? Gasping Group Dear Onedering Ones, My higher-ups have promised me a coming-out near the close of school However, I don't suppose it would hurt to let you know ahead of time that Fm uglier than the dickens, old enough to know better, am short, fat, dark, bow- -legged, and lack inetlligenoe. My one redeeming feature is that I fsupposedlyj 'know the answers. Masked Bayer Dear Mother Bayer, I am only a freshman, and a timid one at that, and I'm wondering if you could tell one how to be popular and at ease like so many of the senior girls. Seeking Serious Advice, Green Horn Dear G. H., In the first place, never say, only a freshman. When you're a freshman, you still have three more glorious, full years ahead of you. And learn to talk well and fluently, be sincere, open-mind- ed, friendly to everyone, polite, gener- ous, industrious, responsible, and a few more things, too. You can do it, Polah Bayer Soph Meeting The regular sophomore class meeting took place yesterday in the auditorium. A musical program, including excerpts from the opera H.M.S. Pinaforef' was presented by the Glee Club. Jack Wilson and Eddie Antoszewski, sophomores, offered selections on their accordions. To Address Girls Miss Kathryn Radabaugh, from Flower Hospital, will talk to all senior girls who are interested in nursing. Miss Radabaugh will speak during the assembly period on April 8 in room 141. DALTON HILLE, OUR FAVORITE VILLAIN Radio, Villain Portrayals In Operettas, Keep Dilly Busy Even though we've had a very short time in which to work, I believe 'Pina- forel will turn out the best possible pro- duction by any group in that length of time, remarked Dalton Hille, who por- trays the villian in Pinafore. Playing the role of the villian seems to be a specialty with Dilly, for in the two years that he has been in the Glee Club, he has appeared as the scoundrel in Oh Doctor and ln Old Vienna. Perhaps you've heard Dalton's voice over the radio in the Adams' family series, Home Horizons, Let Freedom Ring, or the dramatizations of the English classics. In Julius Ceasar, he portrayed Mark Antony, in Tale of Two Cities, Sidney Carton, and in She Stoops to Conquer, Mr. Hardcas- tle. He has done radio work for two years. Woodward has the majority of talent for this type of work, but we need more deep-voiced boys, corn- mented Dalton, who has a deep bass voice himself. Aside from radio and Glee Club, Dal- ton is a football enthusiast, and a whiz on the trumpet and drums. 1 VOX POP Dear Editor, This letter is being written by two disappointed seniors, who feel that we are voicing the opinion of the majority of the members of our class. Our opin- ions concern an event of which the class of 1940 is being deprived. This event is the senior class picnic. For four years we have been looking for- ward to this annual alfair and it means so much to us now and will be, forever, a pleasant memory. Although there is an excuse for the fact that we are unable to have a senior picnic because the boats are not running at that time, why cantt another plan be substituted to take the place of this much-longed for event? For instance, having the picnic after the closing of school when the boats are running. Because the financial part of this program does not fall back on the schools, we feel that the seniors should be given something to compensate for the many privileges lost this year. After all, this a democ- racy. Why not let the students decide? 6 Ed. note: We would appreciate com- ments from other seniors, and from anyone else who can answer the above questions.J Shops Will Be Open At Next Regular Meeting Of P.TA. Shops will be open for inspection at the regular meeting of the Woodward P.T. A. on Wednesday, April 17, at 8:00 . m. p Projects finished by the students will be on display. Included in the shops to be visited are William Rohr's and O.M Thompson's m e c h a ni c al drawing classes, S. B. Crouse's woodshop, Paul Thomae's machine shop, A. R. Bitter's electrical cl a s s, Hugh Montgomery's printshop, L. G. Nuber's auto mechanics shop, and J. E. Mohrhardt's industrial survey classes. Senior Banquet To Be Held In Women's Building In May The Women's Building will be the scene of the Senior Banquet, Tuesday, May 14. The price of the dinner and dance which follows is 31.50.

Nash, president of Toledo University, will deliver at the same dinner. f A Noble Profession There is no finer occupation or ca- reer for women than nursing, said Miss Mathryn Rodabough, representa- tive from the admitting office of Flower Hospital, who spoke to all girls interested in nursing last Monday. I I I Besides the openings in nursing, there are many openings in the spe- cialized Helds, such as diets, public health, or laboratory work.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER WILLIAM FETTERS COACHES RESERVES Lightweight Football Mentor Says Fundamentals Make Athletic Bill Fetters Bill Fetters, newly appointed reserve football coach, took an active part in football and track while in high school During these years of athletic training he learned that fundamentals are the foundation of championship teams. The field of geology was especially intirguing to Bill, and he entered Oberlin College with the idea in mind to major in this subject. After studying for two and one-half years, Hnancial difliculties forced him to drop out of college and get a job. Bill went to work for two years, during which time he accumulated enough money to again enter college at the University of Toledo, where he competed in track and football Mr. Fetters is at present a teacher in social studies and head track coach. He is regarded as one of the best coaches of fundamentals Woodward has ever seen and it is his belief that a boy's greatest training is on the athletic field. A boy who loses and doesn't care isn't as likely to succeed as the athletic one who is a hard loser. He ended this interview by saying, Well, I quess that's all. Reserves Look Good A very promising brigade of huskies have reported to Coach William Fet- ters as candidates for the Woodward 1940 reserve football team. The nucleus of this Hne turnout are freshmen, most of them seeing action in last year'e suc- cessful frosh squad, of which due credit should be given to L.C. Clark,the fresh- man mentor. Although nothing definitly has been planned, Coach Fetters desires to have every sophomore or freshman boy that can be fitted with a uniform for practice. With the hop e s of building a good foundation for future teams, the reserve schedule will be expanded to coincide as nearly as possible with that of the varsity team. GYM TOURNAMENT WELL UNDER WAY Table Tennis And Badminton Most Popular Sports With Couples The 12 couples who will participate in the Co-ed Tournament, which has been re-innovated in Woodward for the second time by Mrs. Sybil Sharpe, girls' gym instructor, met last Wednes- day after school for a practice session in the girls' gym. Table tennis and badminton are the sports popular with the contestants. Entered in the former are Dorothy Damraur and Joe Malikowski, Delores Szumigala and Harry Ramsey, Dorothy Taylor and Eugene Bryant, and Jeanne Plasket and Maurice Essick. Badminton claims eight couples for its tournament: they are Alice Miller and Melvin Petot, Jean Douglas and George Jaschke,Josephine Sempke and Donald Kuff, Dorothy Summers and John Vinson, Marlynn Renz and Free- man Tate, Betty Jane Roth and Julian Czerwiec, Sadie Douglas and Marvin Hahn, and Esther Bloom and Bob Martin. Badminton rated the highest in pop- ularity with eight couples turning out for it, table tennis placed second, and shutlie board was at the bottom of the list with no turnouts. Mrs. Sybil Sharp made out the schedule and is supervis- ing all games. Team ratings will be determined by ladder competition. This type of competition gives a team the right to challenge any couple above them in victories. This arrangement is a new idea and is being tried this year for the first time. Regular tournament games will be- gin next week and will continue to be played each Wednesday. Ted Keller Will Substitute Broad Jump For High Jump In endeavoring to find a means of determining the native jumping abiiity of a boy other than the high jump, Ted Keller, head of the Physical Education Department of Toledo, is conducting a standing broad jump event in the city high schools.The reason for abandoning the high jump is that several boys have broken arms in the past. If this experiment proves successful, and it will in all probability. The broad jump brings into p r a c t ic e the same spring as the high jump.The latter will be eliminated as a high school gym list. In addition to the broad jump, the boys abilities are tested in the pull-ups, push-ups, dash, basketball dribble, rope c lim b, and the baseball pitch. Alice Krawetzke and Chuck McFarland are the contestants sub- mited by the German Club for the popularity contests. HIT PIN BASEBALL OPENS GIRLS' SPRING SPORTS TOURNAMENT The spring tournament opened last Thursday in the girls' gym with this seasons sport of hit pin baseball. Three leagues are entered in the tournament, namely, Monday and Thursday league, which consist of sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and the Tuesday or fresh- man league. Members of the Monday league are the Rockets, Bombers, Woodward Wizards, and Jim Jam Jumps. The Polar Bears, Renaissance, Blue and White Stars, and All Stars make up the Thursday league. Competing in the Tuesday or fresh- man league are the Straight Shooters, Duffys', Blue and Whites, Solid Ten, Spark Plugs, and Varsity Cubs. Captains a n d managers of the squads will be elected at the first game. Miss Catherine McClure and Mrs. Don Sharpe will stay o n alternate nights to aid the players. Next weeks schedule for the hit pin I baseball tournament is as follows: Monday, April 15 Jim Jam Jumps vs Woodward Wizards Rockets vs Bombers Tuesday, April 16 Straight Shooters vs Varsity Cubs Spark Plugs vs Duffy's Blue and Whites vs Solid Ten Wednesday, April 17 All Stars vs Polar Bears Renaissance vs Blue and White Two seniors, Dorothy Kohne and Wilma Schultz had the highest scores in bowling April 5 with 150 and 140, respectively. Other high scorers include: Doris Beebe, senior, 125, Mary Bracken, senior, 125, Beverly Luelf, senior, 123, Shirley Barks, junior, 123, Ruth Wade, senior, 122, Jane Wolf, freshman, 121. Miss Catherine McClure, instructor, bowled 132. BASEBALL PRACTICE SESSIONS DELAYED BECAUSE OF WEATHER Coach Robie Unable To Make Decisive Prediction Regarding Starting Lineup For Bears' First Intra-City Tilt D Prevailing unfavorable iw e a t h er Starting Lineup For Scott Tilt Given By Coach Phipps The tentative lineup for the golf squad's iirst game with Soott at the Ottawa Park links, April 23, was an- nounced by Coach Howard Phipps late Tuesday. In the number one spot will be Vin- cent Gigliotti, who was unanimously elected captain at the squad's first meeting. John Phillips, Bill Miles, Jack Seymour, and Casmer Operaz,allveter- ans of one or more years, will play sec- ond, third, fourth, and fifth men, re- spectively. Sammy Eckhart, brilliant Valleywood ace, andanewcomer to Woodward's team, will hold down number six posi- tion. The two alternates have not been named as yet, but will be at the meet- ing before the game. . - . fi . 7.2. .ea me .-e-' i Al , N miles ., Although the track is still quite muddy, Coach Fetters said that all boys planning to go out for track should be outside getting in shape for the first meet with Scott April 16. Prospects for a goofi team look very slim right now. o a if There are 14 candidates working out under George Rohrer for positions of the tennis team. l I C A slight coincidence arises in the fact that the tennesters engage Scott on April 23, as their first encounter and the thinclads also have Scott for an opener. 1 a n Modified gym cl a s s e s are being planned next year for boys who are not physically fit to take part in active athletics. O C I Earl Riskey, city title holder as badminton champ, visted Woodward Gym, from Ann Arbor where he is Physical Education instructor, to chat with Art Smith and Homer Hanaham on Intra-Murals. Later, Mr. Riskey and Charles C. LaRue went to the Kiwanis Club. I I O Approximately 2515 was collected at the Municipal Club dance last Tuesday. I I I Bill Hunterbrinker has been selected as the boy to represent the Engineering 1 I i 1 conditions h av e forced Ci ach Leo Robie to delay his baseball practice sessions. However, Monday and Tues- day of this week proved to be weather permitting, and the Bears recieved their first outdoor workout. Due to the weather handicap, Coach Robie has been unable to make any decisive predictions as to the possible starting lineup, but for the team as a whole he predicts a good infield but a lack of hitting power. With the Polar Bears first intra-city game only four days away, Mr. Robie is determined to round outa possible start- ing lineup this week. Holding down the keystone positions will probably be veterans Danny Kosakowski at short- stop, and Leon Kwiatkowski at second. Little, but mighty, Bob Hoffman will be sr-agging them at first. There has beeri' slight controversy over the hot spot at third. To brace the hitting power of the infield and strengthen the outfield, Coach Robie sees possibilities in switch- Bob Myneder at third and and placing Leonard Dembowski in the outfield, be- cause of his line Belding ability. There is some tough competition for a berth behind the plate, with Alvin Kempski, Ernest Widlund and Mike Kaczorowski turning on the heat in order to be in there when the schedule begins. Chuck Mc Farland, the only Bear hurler return- ing who won any games last year, will probably open against Libbey next Wednesday. However, Lefty Marok and Lawernce Eurenius are giving Chuck a hot race for the bid. I-M Volleyball Tournament Postponed Until Next Week Due to bad weather, the intra-mural volleyball tournament which was pre- viously f scheduled for yesterday has been postponed until next week if the weather man permits. Although said tournament is run off in the Boy's gymnasium, the members of the club and freshman leagues can not gain access when the baseball and football teams are forced to practice in- doors. As the delay shortens the playing time, the champions will be determined via the elimanation route rather than the drawn out round robin form. Art Smith, assisted by Mr. Green, is in charge. Y Lap Boards Made Students in S. B. Crouseis classes made lap boards for the Clothing Shop in Harriet Whitney High School.

BEAR PINSTERS TAKE THREE TO FINISH IN SECOND AND FOURTH Neither of WoodWard's bowling quin- tets were able to pull themselves up higher in the city race for first place last Saturday. Despite the Nats trio of wins from Macomber, they still remain- ed in second place with the Irish. The Amerks held their own by taking three from Libbey, but failed to move out of fourth position. Tomorrow morning both leagues will take part in the play-offs. To determine the final city standings, the teams in equal positions in both leagues will play each other. Because of the tie for second place, the Bear Nationals bowled against Central yesterday after school. Bears Win Trio Led by Walasinski with a 533 total the Nats crushed the Mechanics by a total of 208 pins. Zychowicz also broke the 500 mark to place second with a series of 182-188-155. Placing 5 straight balls in the one- three pocket, Don Feltman bowled his highest single of the year with a 227. Zielaskowski placed se c o nd with a series of 181-192-157. Tomorrow morning Woodward will attempt to place in the final standings The Nats are qualified to place second providing they defeat Central.

SHEMAS, EVELYN KWIATKOWSKA CARNIVAL CAPERS gaSCE1jES BFQFUND THE WILL LEAD LARGE GRAND MARCH MIKE REVEALED Students View Radio Class Presentation Of 'Macbeth' After the English students troup down to the Woodward auditorium and finally settle down in their seats, a hush sweeps over the pupils---two o'clock is here and the strange tale of Macbeth comes to their ears. In a few moments they are transported to distant Scotland and years long past. However, in another part of the city the same radio program is having an entirely different effect. In the large studio at WSPD, the 25 high school students taking part in the production have undergone a final re- hearsal. With afew last minute instruc- tions from their director, Miss Dorothy Kellogg, they are anxiously, silentl , waiting for the signal that means they are on the air. The next half hour is one of careful tiptoeing to and from the mike , of attempting to turn 24 pages of script with no rustling and of actors speaking their lines, often so quietly that the small stuido audience can not hear them. On the radio, yell- ing to express emotion is not effective. To the announcer falls the responsi- bility of bringing in sound effects at the proper time. It is he who signals for the drum to be struck, the wind machine cranked, and knives scraped to indicate the sword fight. The mob sounds are direct dy another student who furiously waves his arms to achieve the proper enthusiasm from the rest of the cast. The half hour passes quickly. As the martial music closes the brogram, ten- sion relaxes and the cast grins with relief. The production has been success. ful and now they can joke about it. Soon the studio is empty. Tomorrow they will be preparing for the next pro- gram. Donald Krell Is First Student Fingerprint-ed In Woodward Donald Krell, senior, was the first Woodward student to have his finger prints taken. Fingerprinting consists of t h r e e operations: l. inking the pad 2. signing a certificate and 3. the fingerprinting. Without inking the pad the operation takes only three minutes. Edwin J. Marshall, chairman of the committee from the Junior Chamber of Commerce, recieved his instructions at the Police Department. The Hnger prints will be filed in the Civil files in the Federal Bureau of Investigation at Washington, D. C. Carnival Solicitors Needed Forty-two pupils have volunteered to solicit for Gayety Nite. However, this does not meet with the quota needed to canvass this district. Floyd Lords, who has charge of dona- tions,has stated that a number of stud- ents will be chosen to solicit outside the immediate district. Gayety Nite Booth Plans Must Reach Shops By 26th All organizations that are going to have booths for Gayety Nite must sub- mit their specifications to O. M.

HERE ISN'T one student in Woodward who would refuse a bid for membership in the National Honor Society. On Recognition Day, a fewjuniors and seniors will have the honor of being recognized for their scholarship, leadership, and service to the school during the past year. Membership in the society is an honor which is recognized throughout the country, and one which each member can be proud of as long as he lives. If you are hoping for this honor, you must now redouble your efforts for the remaining school term, because those who prove to the present society their worthiness during the next month will be the ones to receive the coveted bids. There's still time! ..1. i.... Your Chance, Freshmen! CC WISH I were hack in school again! How many of us have heard that refrain from mother, father, or grandparent? Although most of us ignore this remark it would be a good thing if we were to probe more deeply into its meaning. Our elders realize now that their school days molded their entire life. Last Friday the freshmen were given an oppor- tunity to visit vocational schools. Courses and their possibilities were explained to them. Opportunities of this type were never presented to our parents, but rest assured that they would have exhausted every posibility offered. Freshmen should remember that the course they choose will affect their future life. Choose wisely! Small Cogs, But Important T IS NOT required of every boy and girl to be or do something great, most of us must content ourselves with taking small parts in the chorus, as far as possible without discord. We elected capable students to represent us in the Student Council, but our work is only partly done. We must pledge ourselves to support all the rules which our representatives believe will be the best for Woodward. With this support, the Student Council will be able to establish a school government of which all Woodwardites will be proud. The month of April has always been try Our war for Independence The momentous in the history of our coun- K ,. -..'-. Civil War, the war with Mexico, the war X. Y gp Q-jf with Spain, and our entrance into the lx A' ' World War were all sometime during X ' -, X. 1. the month of April. Perhaps this is not .. , M! 1 a mere chance.While it is officially the second month in the Springtime Sea- son, it is usually the one that witnesses the transi- tion of winter into summer. March is really a winter month, often the worst one of all from the stand- point of bad weather. So to the heads of govern- ments which are already on the verge of war the opening of real spring means the type of weather that allows efficient warfare to be waged. In ancient times all fighting of any note was done in the summer months with truces called in the inclement weather. With this in mind perhaps our entries into wars in April is the result of our atti- tude toward the proper time to begin such conflicts. Just 165 years ago today the first battle of the American Revolution was fought, and just 165 years ago last night, Paul Revere made his historic ride arousing the countryside with his ringing words, CfC'?.z?

English Classes Engaged In Heavy Reading And Writing As a part of their senior English course, students in Mrs. Hazel McMan- X amon's classes have been asked to either write a term paper or engage in an extensive reading program. Stu- dents who plan to go to college next year are required to write term papers which may be on any subject in which they are interested. About forty people are doing this work. The remainder of the pupils will read novels by English authors of the eighteenth, ninteenth, and twentieth centuries, travel booksg biographiesg and any other approved books. Seniors ' have until the first of May to complete this work. Interesting Attendances From September 5 to April 15, 301 pupils out of the total enrollment of 2356 have had perfect attendance ac- cording to Mrs. Brinkerhoff, attendance clerk. Freshmen led the parade with 130 loyal corners. Out of the sophomore class, 79 pupils lost nary a day. 57 jun- iors upheld honors for third year classes but only 35 seniors were able to get to their classes every day.

Perhaps, because Lou,' was granted an irresistably charming personality and a nature which is generous, obliging and friendly---in addition to being mul dark, and handsome---he ranks as one of Woodward's most popular students. Lou, another employee the Savoy The. atre has lured from Woodward's happy family. grinningly admitted that some- day he hopes to make a change from the theatre to radio, where he aspires to become an announcer. He shouldn't have a lot of trouble, though, because already ijunior and senior yearsj he has participated in 70 radio broadcasts, in which his talent before a microphone has proved itself. Besides being a vi tal part of the school's radio work, Lou finds time to be an active member of the Studeut Council and the Glee Club. He enjoys chicken, moonlight ri d e s, telephone conversations, trying to sing, dancing with Lois Schoonmaker, facing a mike, midget auto racing, blue music- -Glen Miller style, public speaking, picnics and arguments. He can be seen almost anytime with either or both George Jaschke and Nickie Shemas. Even though this will be the thir- teenth annual Senior Prom, said Lou, I believe it will live up to all our ex- pectations. No chairman could have asked fora better, more cooperative committee.

No doubt his last statement was prompted by the fact that he is to have the privilege of escorting lovely Lois Schoonmaker to the gals affair tonight. Burton Iiilmes, Last Forum Lecturer, Talks On Finland Burton Holmes, widely known trav- eler, lecturer, and camera enthusiast, was the last Forum Club lecturer this season. Mr. Holmes gave an illustrated speech about Finland before the war. I think we should cancel Finland's war debt and send back all the interest payments. The debt is only 458,000,000 and what does 38,000,000 mean to the boys in Washington, opinioned the lecturer, who delivered his speech from a wheel chair, because of a broken leg. Finland, or as the Finns call it, Suami fmeaning marsh landl is the fifth largest country in Europe. And in all its lakes, on all its islands farms and in all its island cities there are no slums. This is the second Munich peace, it was not decided by the people of Fin- land, but by politicans.The Finns fought against impossible odds, fifty to one. Mr. Holmes also described and, by the use of pictures, illustrated the inti- matcies of the Finnish people.

Mrs. Mary O'Brien was ask- ed to go, but was unable to attend. After discussing the advantages and costs of different hookups, the group decided that a two-chain system would be best. This will enable two programs to be broadcasted in the school at the same time. In all there will be 105 loud speakers which will be enameled in the school's colors, blue and white. It has been arranged for the audi- torium and gym to be hooked up for Recognition Day, for which Mr. Bitter's classes will supply wire. Also, a raido and loud speaker demonstration will furnish music at the two a s s e m b 1 y dances sponsored by the Municipal Club next Tuesday and Thursday.

And you sophomores, didn't you have the time ofyour lives at the Soph- rolic ? But, what about us Juniors? Some might say, But, you had an after school dance in place of a Kid Party. As for that, there were as many seniors as juniors at the dance. Oh, yes,- and if one was observant one would no, tice some sophomores! Was this, then our subsittute for the Kid Party ? Come on juniors! Let's find out why we can't have a Kid Party? LaVerne Brigham, Junior i Conduct Praised A word of praise should be given to the boys of the Engineering So- ciety for the fine way that they con- ducted themselves. I have never seen a finer bunch of boys on allthe trips that I have handled. It is always a pleasure to us to serve groups of this type. Several other people com- mented on the fine behavior of these boys. The above words were taken from a letter received by Principal C. C. LaRue from James W. Smith, Man- ager of the Commercial Depart- ment of the Community Traction Company in commenting Woodward students on th ei r fine behavior during the trip to the Ford plant. I wish to thank all the boys who went to the Ford Plant with the Engineering Society on April 4 th for there excellent behavior. Your conduct was as it should be, and you received compliments from other guests and the officials of the Ford Company. You were a credit to Woodward High School. William Rohr. N , P. T.

Last year the netmen didn't fare so well at the hands of the Bulldogs, the Bears took an eight to nothing lacing. However in a post season contest the Roherites ended in a 4-4 tie.

The Nats, after defeating Macomber, finished third in the final standings. The highest team total in the play-offs was rolled by Nationals with 2681 pins. The Amerks wound up the season by downing Macomber in seventh place. As there were sixteen positions up and down the league ladder in which to land, the third and seventh place Bear bowl- ers finished high in the play-offs. Boys in the National league to reach the 200 mark this year are Walasinski, 243, Marok, 200, 202, McMahon, 246, Zyohowicz, 206, 215, 213, Antoszewski, 202, 234, 211, Zientek, 202, and Prebe, 210.

Coach Leo Robie, being very anxious to see his boys react in league competi- tion, tried in every way possible to con- tinue the contest despite the unfavor- able weather. The diamond, however, was very muddy, making it impossible to play. Although handicapped by bad weath- ll er, the Bears managed to compete in a ,- scrimage with DeSales College last Mon-If d ay , the latter providing some v e r gy strong opposition. g' The entire roost of Bear hurlers saiw action, each twirler tossing one innilfig. The pitching staff appeared rather ifm- pressive as the bear gers fiingave up only six hits to the DeSales Club. However, the Polar Bear hitting power seemed very frugal. Only one extra base clout was accounted for. There proved to be a decisive improvementin the team's field- ing, as no errors were commited. 4 X If the weather will permit, Woodward' will tackle Waite this afternoon at 3:00 in Wilson Park. f Coach Jack Taylor States 1 I Aspect Of Football Eleven Up to date the team is rounding out pretty slowly due to the conflict with spring sports and the weather, stated head football coach Jack Taylor. As far as material is concerned Jack McKenzie is showing up to be the best man I have out on the field. The team could use a pair of good husky tackles and a sizeable triple threat back. In the game played yesterday the starters in the backfield were Koster at right half, Ramer at left half, Tima at the tail back position, and B. Ramer at the quarter. Thus far the boys have had some stiff scrimmage sessions and have shown a great deal of enthusiasm in trying to beat their team-mates to a berth on the upper strings. .1. .-...-i... 2 Peri Tea A tea for all Pericleans in the city will be given by the WoodwardfPeris, Thursday, May 16, from 3 to 5 p.m. in room 141.

New President of Toledo Jr. Red Cross To Attend Convention Mr. Gribbin goes to Washington Vernon Gribbin, junior who was elected president of the Toledo Junior Red Cross last Friday, will, as a result of this election, represent Toledo at the a n nu al National Red Cross Conven- tion in Washington.

The convention will bring together young people from all of the United States and its outlying possessions. Nine million people comprise the Junior Red Cross membership. Vernon won this distinction in com- petition with delegates from the other Toledo High Schools at a meeting at Monroe school. Each school in the city was permitted to send four delegates to the meeting. These four people in turn, chose one of their number as a possible candidate for the office of pres- ident. Each candidate for this oflice was introduced by a ca m p a i gn manager. Pete Zelles, member of the oral expres- sion class, acted as Vernon's spokes- man. Vernon's election constituted the first time a Woodward student has ever held t h is ofhce. Representatives of Scott were the victors the past two y e a r s, and their representative was elected vice president of the organiza- tion this year. T. U. Delegates Speak To Srs.

Pinaforef' to be given by the Glee Club, Friday, April 26, in the Woodward auditorium, is a satire of the English language and characterizes the sailors of the English Navy. Revealing the true identity of the cap- tain and the sailor, who were switched as babies, keeps all the players moving at a rapid pace. Ralph,George J aschke, the young sailor, who should be the captain, falls in love with Josephine, E d i t h Walterschied, the captain's daughter, who is above him socially. Josephine loves Ralph, but wants to save her father, Captain Corcorin, Bill Barrow, from embarrassment. After their true identity has been discovered, Josephine will not marry Ralph, the real captain, because he is now above her social rank. Marriage at this time would be in violation of the rules of the British Admiralty. Other sup p o rti n g roles are Sir Joseph, portrayed by Bob Miller, Dalton Hille, as Dick Deadeye, the villain, Buttercup, played by Sylvia Gottfriedg Arleen Huiss, as Cousin Hebeg George Hotz, as Bowswaing and the B o W- swain's mate, played by Dick Miller.

Two weeks from tomorrow, May 10,the freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors will be given choice cards to fill out. We must not only remember to devise our sche- dules so that we will have enough majors and minors to graduate, but we must make our selec- tions corrrespond to the vocations we wish to pur- sue after leaving Woodward or college. To fill out these choice cards intelligently, discuss your plans with your parents and confer with your teachers. Don't waite until the last minute to decide: be prepered to choose wisely. A Valuable Experience OODWARD WILL BE represented by fifty- five delegates at the annual Burnham High School Northwestern Ohio Journalism Con- vention tomorrow at Sylvania. Although these pupils will be out of regular classes all day, they will hear journalistic speakers and participate in round table discussions. They will have the opportunity of meeting delegates from twenty-six other schools who will discuss problems confronting them in publishing their papers. Social activities will round out the program planned for those attending. You Won't Want To Miss This! WINGSTERS AND JITTERBUGS had better prepare for a hasty exit. Toledo high school students are finding relaxation and pleasure in more classical types of music. Being gifted with outstanding voices in it's Glee Club, Woodward will undoubtly lead the parade in this new era of music. Every Woodward booster should get in step with the times and display his appreciation of the work of those in the Glee Club. When this talented group presents the light 0pera, Pinofore, every seat in the auditorium should be occupied by an attentive and appreciative Woodward student. Satisfaction Will Be Ours! ORK has started on the sound system. Al- though some of the money has supplied by the W. P. A., most of -the necessary funds will be provided by the success of our annual car- nival. When the system is installed every student can rightfully say, I helped make it possible. When the morning bulletins are announced instead of read, we will have the satisfaction of knowing that through our cooperation this advancement will be enjoyed for years to come. There are only eight days left in which to make the above things possible. We are in the home stretch. Let's cross the finish line in firstlplace with a 100 per. cent turnout.

CSend all future correspondence to Sing-Sing.J Tidbits A stern, long-faced committee recently met to discuss the serious question of Why the Tidbits columnist writes Tidbits, and what should be done about it. After many hours of debating, the group decided that a decision could not be reached without more evidence, so, here we go again. Joe Baz wants it known that he is a gentleman! Let's give him a big hand. Somebody m ake s a practice of locking the feature drawer in the Tattler office. We didn't think the situation was that bad. Getting mixed up with so many drafts, term paper writers are sure to catch cold. fYes, we know, a pun is the lowest--.5 Have you seen the juniors' new rings? If you haven't, it isn't their fault. Several girls were completely overcome at the Tattler party by the appearance of UNIFORMS. The handsome Marine Reserve outfits were keep- ing company with Stanley Gogol, Bud Berdue, and John Sackman. Woodward has its s h a r e of high-pressure politicians. Several council candidates conducted their campaigns with cards, which they distributed generously. Did you know that the letters on those popular Shuif-made name pins are tor maybe we'd better say werej edible. They came from alphabet soup. Many admiring glances have been cast toward Charles Keip's smooth dancing. He knows how to pick partners, too. April weather fsho wers in particularj is most uncooperative when it comes to Spring sports. But what can. be done? What can be done? That is the question. The least they can do is send me far, far, far away--Bye! It's Wonderful Ah me, why for this drowsy, dreamy feeling? Just can't seem to figure out that complex economics problem. So bored with life in general. Ah, blessed, peaceful Spring time! An out-of-town romance comes to our attention under the captain of Dick Fisher and Beverly Luelf. Anyone interested in new subjects, see Charles Harris. That particular senior has a mania for west- ern, and mystery books, it appears. Mrs. Hazel McManamon gave her senior English students a Spring surprise package in the form of a delightful 2500 word term paper. Did I say peace- ful Spring? I I Arlene Huiss, petite sophomore, is anxious to se- cure signers for her Opinion Books from any basketball players. Would the boys please oblige? Ah, no more long and tiresome waiting for a bus. Seems as though those Woodwardites prefer walk- ing in this delightful weather. Ever hear of a snood kids? Freida Cassis dis- plays one on her curly locks very eifectively. Dorothy Haddad is so busy these days that she Ends it difficult to read her fan mail, and so must take a few minutes out of class for such. Tsh! And speaking of fan mail, if any you readers are overburdened with anxiety about your friends' aifairs, please write to us for a cure-all. No trouble at all. Teacher: I'llteach you to bum school! Pupil: I wish you would. I haven't had much suc- cess this year. I i Neighborly News A- Scott has identified its broadcasting system by call letters WRHD in honor of their principal, Ralph H. Demorest.--Scott Thistle, Scott High. I I n It was a very warm day and an elderly lady was taking her first airplane ride. After being in the air some time, she pointed to the propeller. You can turn that oif now, young man, she said to the pilot. I feel much cooler. ---East Tech Scarab, Cleveland, Ohio.

Song Of The Week Woodpecker's Song He's up each morning bright and early To wake up all the neighborhood To bring to every boy and girlie His happy serenade on wood Hear him pickin out a melody Peck, peck, peckin' at the same old tree He's as happy as a bumblebee all day long To Serenade your lady Just find a tree that's shady And when you hear that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick, sing right along Come on and try his rhythm And let your hearts beat with 'Im Just listen to that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick happy little woodpecker song. Prom High-Lights Isn't that a stunnig gown, How darling, Doesn't he dance nicely?, Oh, there's Mr. Lank- enau, Oh, me, that Woo Wabble Woo Song is so fast for a waltz, Ouch. that's my foot. Don't be frightened kiddies: 'tis only a few of your own re- marks overheard by your keep-your-ears-open re- porter, at the Senior prom. Evelyn Flowers was there looking as stunning as ever in an aqua, chiffon dress, while Corrine Carnes chose a light blue satin gown. Coca Cola was indulged in very extravagantly as a means of holding one's chair down. Miss Amie Miller, looking very sweet in a white formal, greeted the guests cordially, while Mrs. Eva Leu added to her charm by choosing a black lace ensemble. Your roving reporter, while stumbling through a dance, tried vainly to gather news without arous- ing her e s c o r t s suspicions, and discovered that popular teacher, Mr. Lankenau, with his equally charming wife, doing very nicely on Scatter Brain. Bill Copeland proceeded to give the dancers a Bne version of the jitter bug, while Kream Haddad appeared delighted with one of the more senti- mental pieces. Everyone seemed to be having a grand time, and at the stroke of midnight, all embarked for more coke and dancing. Would that such gala events come more often! Ah, me! . Nightmare The alarm clock rang so fiercely, I turned it off, and then I closed my left eye, and shut my right, And went back to sleep again. I dreamed I was running madly: My goal was far away. When I arrived it was very late, And the penalty ruined my day. I awoke with a sigh of relief, Glad that this ordeal was done: But the hands of the clock said my dream had come true, My troubles had just begun! Local Weather Forecast Monday--Cloudy and colder. I just got one of those famous icy stares that Alice Koop uses to keep certain people at adistance. Tuesday--Warm with increasing temperature. Girl who came to school in a new exclusive dress just saw three others like it. Wednesday--Flash, snow storm! Think nothing of it, there was a movie in the auditorium and someone in the balcony cleaned out his notebook during intermission. Thursday-Cloudy with big winds from South. No, its not dangerous, it's merely those steady- goers arguing as they round the halls. Friday--Hurricane. Not alarming, school just let out.

Engineering Alumni To Give Second Dance At Yacht Club For the site of its second semi-annual dance of the year, the Woodward Engi- neering Alumni Association has en- gaged the Toledo Yacht Club for the evening of May 23. All profits are placed in a scholarship fund used to send two boys to Toledo University every year. Chester Zak and Bill Hunterbrinker are in charge of the orchestra and have secured Jimmy Reemsnyder's band. Tickets to this affair may be obtained from William Rohr in room 329 for 81.00. 1 1 M.- Seemingly made to order was the bundle which an ambitious stork de- posited eighteen years ago in the per- son of Robert Ellsworth Miller, whom today nearly every one in Woodward know as Bob, the tall, curly-haired senior boy with a charming person- ality and a golden baritone voice. It is he who will ably portray the part of Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, when the Glee Club presents Pinafore tomorrow night. Bob is as full and fond of music as he is of his grandmother's tempting spaghetti. Last summer, he was a part of the Toledo Civic Opera Assoc- iation. He has tried out for a minor role in the same association this year. Not only has the Glee Club, of which he is property manager, bene- flted by Bob's presence, but radio, too, has been enriched, for Bob's deep, rich speaking voice plays an important role in every week's school broadcast. Character parts are his specialty. We haven't been able to work long enough on 'Pinafore', stated Bob, but because of the especially fine Glee Club we have this year, and because of Mr. Ball's hard, insistent effort, this production of the club should excel any previous musical given in Woodward. Proving that Bob is a regular fellow, he greatly enjoys football, boxing, fishing, banana splits, and Bingo ice cream bars. Maybe the ice cream is responsible for his six feet-two-and-a-quarter inches, 1 60 pounds, and beautiful teeth. He also enjoys detective stories, Dalton Hille's company, and going out with Peggy Saxton, a freshman at Scott. Patty Hammontree, Charles Harris, John Vinson, and Arthur Bancroft were the four seniors elected to the Wood- ward Student Council. Representing the junior class are Bernard Burns, Robert Kubicki, Joe Hascal, and Lois Roth. The sophomores have chosen Betty Wood, Frances Bielak, and Betty Os- good to represent them. The freshmen will hold their elections next fall. Twenty-seven students took out peti- tions. However, only twenty-four were used as candidates since three were eliminated because of low grades. The newly elected members will be oiiicially inducted at the Student Council Banquet, May 8, at the Secor Hotel. The election of officers for next year will be held at the banquet, to which each member is allowed to bring one guest. The senior members, Betty Jane Roth, Louis Emm, George Jaschke, and Richard Semler will receive a gift from the school in token of their services during the past years. The committee in charge of the ban- quet are Richard Semler, chairman, assisted by Louis Emm, Kathryn See- man, Lois Roth, and Ester Radecki. Mr. and Mrs. H. Schuler and Mr. and lVlrs. J . Dence will chaperon for the af- air. Picture No. 8 Josephine Lempke, William Levans, Irene Pudlowski, and Eddie Gasiorow- ski deserve honorable mentions this week for the good work done in study- ing heads in poster style. This is a prac- tical problem and the work of the above mentioned students shows that they have a clear understanding of related color values.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER WOODWARD'S NINE DROPS FIRST GAME Bear Baseball Squad Loses Tilt To Scott Team By Score Of 5-3 The shadow of defeat has again hov- ered over Woodward athletes as the baseball team opened their 1940 season last Monday afternoon with a nerve- racking loss to Scott of 5-3. In a very thrilling contest that went deep into extra innings, Bill Copeland showed remarkable control in a fine exhibition of pitching. The Bears went very well under the pressure of dead- lock innings, when the score was tied 3-3, until in the eleventh stanza. Ringle, of Scott, slapped a single into left field, immediately followed by another base hit advancing Ringle to third. Poulos smashed one on the ground to Cope- land who threw to third trapping Ringle between the plate and third base. How- ever, Kimpeki's low throw to Myneder permitted the runner to score, putting Scott out in front. In Woodward's half of the eleventh they went down in order ending the game. I Marok started on the hill for the Bears and was reached for two hits be- fore he was replaced by Copeland. Scott got to the offerings of Bill Copeland for six bingles in seven innings, Wood- ward managed to press Kando and Poulos for eight hits. ?, Girls' Sports The Girls' Athletic League will hold a party for all its members on Wednesday, May 8 in the, girls gym after the election of the 1940 officers.

POLAR BEARS IN SCRIMMAGE GAME Football Squad Shows Class y In Scrimmage Game With B. G. High The conclusion of a ragged spring F practice, due to the weather and theg lack of cooperation by some members? of the football squad in attending daily! sessions, proved to be thoroughly as I. Coach Jack Taylor had predicted---notf wholly successful. ,J The Polar Bears traveled to Bowling Green last Thursday at two o'colck fdbr their contest with Bowling Green High School. According to Taylor, the tea-m accomplished more during this one scrimmage session than it did through- out the entire spring practice. The scrimmage o p e n e d with 3 beautiful place-kick by McKenzie over the Wildcats' goal line. The ball was run back to the Bowling Green three 1 yard line, where the carrier was! promptly smashed down by a host off Woodward tacklers. It appeared that the Bears were off to a fine start, but much to their surprise, the powerful , Bowling Green eleven put on thei pressure and marched in a constanttf' drive directly to the fifty yard liner, where the Bears finally checked theifgi- forward motion and took over the balll. Three attempts at the Wildcat forwarrjl wall failed, and Woodward was forced to punt. Tima punted out of bounds on his own 49 yard line, where Bowling Green took over the offensive and began what proved to be a touchdown march. ln the next period, Bob Ramer tore through the Bowling Green line ' on quick opening plays, while Tima skirted the ends. The highlight of this counter-attack fin ally came when 4 Ramer broke loose, eluding several would-be tacklers, and scored the Bear's le f only touchdown. McKenzie's attempt' at conversion failed. Q The remainder of the scrimmage was c' played, for the most part, by Woodward -' reserves. I If nothing else was achieved by this scrimmage, it made all the players realize that only through complete co- operation and consistent attendance of practice sessions can they promote the squad that they have the material to produce. ....l.
