English adviserg and our good friend and adviser, Mr. Pop She SQ A -STEQYFE? Old Mr. Doubtful haunted the Saga Staff this year with his futile looks, popping up constantly and bring- ing with him his good friends Mr. Worry and Mr. T. Trouble to remind us the Saga had slim chances of ever seeing Mr. Montgomery's printing press. They knocked us down and kicked around the Staffs ceasing hope. But we got up, faced thern,gave them a few defiant looks and began the battle. Our warriors were: Al Philop and Harold Mondville, Art editors, Norman Dageforde, assistant editor, Madonna Ort and Ruth Schiedler, club editors, Ed Sloan and Betty Clark, sports editorsg George Skaff and Kathryn Rudolph Senior editors, Adele Loehrke and Clara Mae Spath, Junior editors, Sally Kale, Typist, Miss Edith Murphy, line. 7 We won that battle. Our reward will come with your complete enjoyment of the 1943 Saga. Lois Schoonmaker, Editor. ff! dim?

A war in which everyone is in some way engaged has changed materially our way of life. Due to this war our class of 1943 is smaller than usual. Some of our members are already in the armed forcesg others have felt the economic pressure or the lure of big wages and are now at work. We sincerely congratulate you boys and girls that have been fortunate enough to finish your high school education. May the foundations laid here at Woodward be of the solid and enduring kind upon which you may build a successful and glorious future. The continued good wishes of all us who are left go with you.

A big factor in the smooth running of the lunch periods is student help. These boys and girls are too many people taken for granted, but picture the turmoil and disorder that would ensue upon their absence. The work is voluntoryp the compensation small, but the aid given is large. Although heretofore unrecognized, we now make a formal statement that you, the people behind the scenes, are known and appreciated. Miss Coy, Miss Posch, Mrs. Victoria Kraiewski, Mrs. Jennie Urich, Mrs. Lillian Diederich, Mrs. Florence Olds, Mrs. Frances Pakulski, Mrs. Ruth Haas, Mr. Mike Cwiklak, and Mrs, Cecile Ashbrook serve us so faithfully in the cafeteria.

Seven High Seniors Receive Awards At Commencement Seven high-ranking seniors of the 1942 graduating class were awarded scholarships at the commencement exercises last June. Six of these seven scholarships were to the Uni- versity of Toledo. Marilyn Schoon- maker, last year's Tattler editor, Ruth Zdravya and Bill Searles were the recipients of scholarships from the University for high scholastics. The Polish award was given to Alice Nowinski, the Engineering So- ciety presented their scholarship to Ernest Wolden and Sadie Douglas received the Saga scholarship. Through her own scholastic efforts, Lilly Schulter was awarded a scholar- ship to the Miami University in Mi- ami, Ohio. Where Is The Third Floor? Mrs. Elinor Mieczkowski, book clerk, and several helpers were work- ing industriously Tuesday when some young fellow burst upon them and said: Where is the third floor Bet he was a freshman. Incidentally, which way is up ? Another greenie sighted the book, The Crisis by Winston Churchill, and shouted, Gee, the 'Chri-IS-is', that oughta be good! STUDENT COUNCIL HAS NEW ADVISER Dorothea Bishop To Replace Kathryn Schuler, Wohler Miss Dorothea Bishop, freshman English teacher, has been appointed adviser of the Student Council due to the illness of Mrs. Kathryn Schuler and resignation of Harry Wohler last year. Miss Bishop and the council will be assisted in hall patrol duty during the lunch hours by an effective guard of four faculty members. Mrs. Eula Upp, Miss Bishop, Miss Marjorie Hamilton, and Mr. Wohler will super- vise each lunch period in the audi- torium. Watson Welever is on duty in the cafeteria. The student hall patrols this year will be under the direction of Don Weber. Richard Joseph will assist. Betty Hansen, aided by Winnie Buck- ley, is chairman of the freshman pe- titions which will circulate in three weeks. The annual Get Acquainted Week is under the leadership of Lois Schoonmaker. She is assisted by Ra- mona Carr. During the specified week each pupil is given a colored tag on which he prints his name. Different colors are designated for each class. The selling of defense bonds, which should be a great success in this critical time, is a new duty of the Student Council this year. At their annual banquet last year Betty Osgood was elected president. Her cabinet is made up of Lois Schoonmaker as vice presidentg Betty Hansen, secretary, Don Weber, treas- urer, and Jim Davis, historian. The Tattler staff on behalf of the faculty and student body wish to express their deepest sympathy to Mrs. Kathryn Schuler on the death of her father. VORDERBURG NAMED HEAD COACH TO REPLACE PRIVATE J. H. TAYLOR ' R Tattler Staff To Carry On In Face Of War Limitations War has cracked down on extra curricular activities! Though other high schools have given up their pa- pers, Charles C. LaRue, at a recent teacher and principal meeting, de- clared that Woodward could not, and will not do without the Tattler. Mr. LaRue further stated that Woodward would not be the same minus the weekly paper. Charles Mann is editor of this year's Tattler. Other staff members are: associate editors, Angeline Bo- kan and Lois Ann Frankowski, boys' sports, Norman Wolfe, assistant boys' sports, Walter Bankowskig girls' sports, Betty Timmons, feature, Betty Buyeag assistant feature, Mildred Bogdanskig special features, Hanna Serafing column, Ann Korecki, ex- change, Evelyn Cieslewskig news, Alice Dyer, assistant news, Jacqueline Bartolettg and business manager, Delphine Wysocki. Sidney Adams, Florence Baker, Beatrice Bialecki, Lucille Foley, Rob- ert Hallett, Ruth Komisarek, Susanne Loerke, Christine Pavlos, Geraldine Putry and Norbert Zakolski, are juniors serving as reporters. Oops! Wrong Teacher If you happen to wander into a room where that certain teacher isn't, don't worry. The cause is the fol- lowing recent room changes. Miss Grace Cutler in 147, Miss Camilla Savage in 127, and Mrs. Dorothy Nicklin in 119 have given up the ex- ercise of climbing stairs. Mrs. Ma- rion Smith formerly occupying room 246 will be in 223 first hour. Miss Marjorie Hamilton will be in 154 first period and Miss Miriam Larkin re- sides in 309 first hour. The teachers that received assigned rooms for first hour are travelling teachers which have a diierent room every hour. SCHOOL BELLS ON SCHEDULE FOR VICTORY Monday, Woodward's doors were thrown open, her books were dusted off and her bells once again called back the sleepy senior, the lntelligent junior, the energetic sophomore, and for the first time heralded the coming of 800 frightened freshman. The bells, being situated at various places about the halls saw. many new faces, and many old faces. They saw all the pupils were busy with the excitement of beginning a new school year, and the making of new friends. This week they have judged you. They have looked well and long for never have they had the tremendous task of keeping their Woodward stu- dents on time for Victory. A victory, which they have been taught by their warrior grandfather the Liberty Bell, is priceless even to the point of life itself. They know that high school students' part in the war is an enormous one. Students will again and again be asked to make sacrifices, petty, small things they will not miss, perhaps going without a few things which were before, deemed necessities, The eighteen bells have said goodbye to Woodwardites who have gone to the service of our nation, giving the supreme offering, their lives. How small it seems that we cannot at least knuckle down to work, school work, civilian defense work, War work. . You Will Win This War! Students of today will be called upon to finish what their older brothers have begun. The training they are receiving at the present time will eventually show itself superior to our axis foes if we knuckle down! School is a refiexion of Americanism. It has freedom, the freedom by which we can come to school to discoverlour profession, our courses paid free. It has equality by which each is given an equal chance to compete and gain deserving honors. It has brotherhood by which the fun and enjoyment of true friends gives us a happy school life. The axis schoolchild's mind is chained by a selfish government. No freedom, equality or fraternity wasted there. Gain a conscientious attitude. Take your school work seriously. Give all you have that the chaos of today may end before the bells of Woodward ring to a Swastika and not the Stars and Stripes. BEAR PIG SKINNERS NEED SUPPORT S I n . E Elmer Vorderburg Elmer Vorderburg, who assisted Jack Taylor last year, will assume his new responsibilities as head coach of the Woodward football team. Mr. Vorderburg, previous to his coaching at Woodward, .acted as coach with the Waite lightweight team for one year the Scottvarsity for two years, and also as line coach for the freshman team duflng his senior year at college. Although he does not promise the students a definite city victory, he believes that there are possibilities, The Polar Bears lack in experience aI!d Welght, but he believes that they will make up this handicap by their Progression and intestinal fortitude. Mr. Vorderburg affirms that the attitude of the students toward their team has a definite bearing upon the outcome of their playing. Mr. Taylor, who also did a fine job of coaching during the three years that- he was here as coach, is now stationed in the field artillery some- where 1n Australia. He was inducted in the army July 21 and left for Camp Perry August 4. His present address is: 3335 2425 - 143 F. A. - A. P. O. No. 1288, c-o Postmaster, San Fran- cisco, California. Mr. Taylor, who handled the reins for the past three years, developed some of the finest football players in Woodward's athletic history. Among these were Chuck McFarland, who is now one of the mainstays of the Den- mson squad, Dick Koster, captain of two years ago, who also plays with Dennison, and last year Syl Golem- biewski, the triple threat half-back who became an all city star. Many Woodward Students Help Hanham At Big Silver As in previous years, Basketball Coach Homer Hanham spent the sum- mer as director of Camp Big Silver. The camp, which is seventy-two miles from Toledo, is a welfare camp for undernourished and underprivi- leged boys. Assisting Mr. Hanaham in the task of showing the boys a pleasant and enjoyable summer were a number of Woodward students. Among the Woodward boys were: Bob Meye, '40 grad, who taught na- ture. and Alvin Blackowski, '42 grad, who assisted with the Waterfront. Camp also found Irvin Wisniewski, who taught project work, Andy Ma- tuszewicz, who assisted the water- front mang Dick Seymour, athletics assistantg Dave Wynn, dramatics in- structor, Louis Kaczmarek, camp lore instructor, and Walter Bonkowski, who had charge of the camp fire and assisted in nature.

IF HK PF Woodward's Polar Bears will jour- ney to thedifferent gridirons in cabs, this year. PF els ik Watch Scott this season. Al Stack- seeder is their new coach, helping Bob Rettig. Stackseeder at one time brought Central's football team four championships. Pls Dk 44 Ray Jagodzinski and Marv Bucher came up with injuries this week. Ray tore a cartilage in his leg, and will be a loss to the team. Bucher had several stitchesakin thisxleft hand. Irv Wisniewski, regular center, was slated to replace the injured Jagod- zinski at end. However, Wis also came up with an injury this week, and it is now doubtful if he will play. This means further line-up juggling, and possibly one of the junior ends will see service, probably Knierim. PK HK PF Coach Vorderburg took his team to Fremont Tuesday for a warm-up game. Several defects in the Bear machine were irsoned gut. The abundance of injuries shows the vigor with which the Bears are practicing. The spirit of the club is good, and with any breaks at all, they may pull an upset. While Libbey looks too powerful, the Bears will be pointing for the othherk squads. The Bears have scheduled mighty Mansfield this year, in what may prove to be the toughest game on the list. Mansfield last year tied the vaunted Massilon Tigers, considered by many as the outstanding high school team in xthek nation. We wish our new coach the best of luck in a difficult job. Let's hope that this is the year. Uncle Sam Has 14 Woodward Grads Studying Radio Work Uncle Sam now has 14 of Wood- ward's 42 graduates working for him, studying radio repair at Wright Field and Ogden, Utah. These boys successfully completed a thirteen- week course in building and repairing radios. Daniel Muciejewski and Doyle Bernath, who received high marks in tlIe course, are now at Wright Field repairing transmitters damaged in war service. James Cole, Alfred Davis, William Foradas, Sam Part, Peter Pulhug, Edward Wieszlon and Glen Williams also took the course. Because the course was a success, it is to be continued under the direc- tion of A. R. Bitter, with the assist- ance of Mr. Mortimer, electrical in- structor at Libbeyg Mr. Beck of the Toledo Police Radio Department and Mr. Dotcon. Classes are taught from 3:30 to 12:00. James Davis and John Pulhug are to be the stock keepers for the special class. Students To Carry Cards As an aid in the identification of all students, everyone will be compelled to carry his identification card with him at all times. The pictures for the cards, which were taken last June by O. M. Thomp- son, mechanical drawing instructor, will be given out Within the next three Weeks. The freshman pictures were taken on Freshman Day. . TO MAKE UP FOR INJURIES IN SQUAD Woodward's Polar Bears will tear the wrapper off the 1942 football season tonight when they face the outfit which pre-season dopesters have tagged as the team to beat in the city race. The kick-off will come at 8:30 in Libbey stadium, and will find the Bears facing their first real test un- der their new coach, Elmer Vorder- burg. , The premier cannot be accepted as an indication of the relative strength of the city teams, as each coach held his team under wraps. The Cowboy's attempting to cop their second successive championship under Bill Orwig, will unleash the full power of their attack in order to get a good start in the city race. The Bear defense will concentrate on stopping Jimmy Foltz, Libbey's all city thunderbolt. Coach Vorderburg, hampered by the loss of Jagodzinski, may juggle his line-up considerable, and will probably shift Irv Wisniewski to end and start Joe Ustazewski at center. Several promising linemen have come along fast. Among these Duke Madras, Al Mulliner, Jim Swaya, Ed Paradyze, Ernie Rychlewski, and sev- eral 0the1'S, Who starred on the re- serve squad last year. .In the back-field, Paul Varwig, a light shifty half-back, is expected to carry the offensive threat for our lads. He will be ably assisted by Bill San- tus, Ehd Sloan, and Captain Al Usta- zewskl. The Punting will probably be han- dled. by Varwig with wisniewski kicking off, and converting, if the oc- casion demands. The game, regardless of the out- come, should be wide open, with both coaches gunning the throttle to pro- duce plenty of thrills. Classes Ended for Duration Swimming and bowling classes will be discontinued for the duration of the war. This is in accordance with the government ruling which forbids the use of transportation facilities for unnecessary activities. This an- nouncement was made by Miss Cath- erine McClure, girls' gym teacher. Mrs. Dorothy Matheny will continue the riding classes as long as gasoline can be obtained for private transpor- tation. Activities Tickets On Sale In 308 for Football Season Activities books for the football season are on sale in room 308 for 81.25 each. Polar Bear stickers will be given free with the first 500 books purchased. A. J. Brown announced that con- trary to last year's system, books for the football and basketball games will be sold at the beginning of each sport season. They will all be cash pur- chases. This method makes the book- keeping easier, and does not disturb the teacher. There are five city football games, the first to be played this Friday op- posite Libbey. Books for the seven basketball games will be sold sometime in No- vember. The movie tickets will be sold individually for 15 cents. Johnson, Taylor Losses To Teaching Staff This Year This year's faculty has undergone several changes. Miss Florence Mc- Ferran will take 'Mrs. Betty Brinker- hoff's place in checking attendance. Mrs. Brinkerhoff has taken a year's leave of absence. A high school girl will assist Miss Miller in her office. Miss Mary Buck will teach at Woodward from fourth hour on. Hav- ing taught at many Toledo schools, Miss Buck will supervise home living and home economics. Wilbur Miller, formerly on the athletic program at Waite, will handle the boys' intra- mural program and freshman hy- giene. ,Because of a lack of pupils taking French, George Rohrer will have fourth, sixth and seventh hour junior business training. Dean Johnson is now an instructor at Macomber While Jack Taylor is one of Uncle Sam's right hand men m the Army. This free issue of the Tattler is to help the freshman get acquainted with our weekly publication. Extra Classes For Students are many opportunities for to take extra classes in the which they are interested or .These Include: journalism, Mrs- Mafle ETSIQSI speech, Mrs. Doro- tny Mathenyg script writing and ra- dio. production, Mrs. Helen Marie Gflfflll, glee club, Clarence Ballg or- ehestra, Miss Bessie Werumg band, Guy Sutphen, and craft, Mrs. Phyllis Lentz. There students fields in talented. i Enrollment Decreases 1,918 students have enrolled in Woodward high school for the vear 1942-1943. This is s decrease ofu383 in comparison with last year's enroll- ment. ' Approximately 800 students comprise the freshman class, which incidentally, is the largest since C. C. LaRue began his principalship at Vtoodward. The remaining 1,118 stu- dents are returning sophomores, jun- iors and seniors. Three Departments Given Supplies Granted By Board The Board of Education has granted Woodward either replace- ments or new parts for various de- partments. The physics and the Sci- ence departments have received gen- eral replacements in equipment, Twenty-four instruments were given to the industrial arts classes, among which are the bow type twelve T squares and two dozen triangles. Mrs. Mary O'Brien, head of the science department, received microscopic slides, two bird charts, and new books In physiology. Miss Abair was pre- sented with new furniture for the dining room between rooms 201 and 205. Replacements were also given to Joy E. Mohrhardt. E. Mack, Retired Custodian, Enjoys Summer Of Fishing Ernie Mack, who retired this year, has been using the casting rod, which the faculty presented to him, all summer. Mr. Mack, who has served as jani- tor ever since Woodward was built, is an ardent fishing enthusiast. Since spring he has been fishing in Michi- gan and Ohio. Rumor has it that he IS thoroughly enjoying himself. When Bill Raymond died three years ago, Mr. Mack became custo- dian. Since he was unwilling to con- tinue in that capacity, Mr. Bedford was appointed at the end of the year. Mr. Mack has served the board for twenty-seven years, fourteen of which were at Woodward. War Effort The newest addition to Woodward's physical education department, the man who will head the physical pro- gram for seniors, Wilbur C. Miller, has a broad background in this field. Mr. Miller formerly was gym in- structor and lightweight baskelball coach at Waite High School. Before that he taught in the elementary schools of Napoleon, Ohio. A new system, something never be- fore attempted in our schools, will be initiated by Mr. Miller. The schedule for the program includes two days of gym a week plus strenuous physical activity outdoors and physical tests inside for every senior. As a supplementary feature, each boy in school will receive 18 weeks of first aid instruction, after which those who have successfully com- pleted the course will receive a Jun- ior Red Cross certificate. The fresh- man hygiene will be extended throughout the Whole year instead of the usual six months. Military Program Stressed This is definitely a pre-military program. This and other programs like it will be instituted throughout the nation so as to improve the health of the youth of America. This will tend to shorten the time used in the physical conditioning of armies of the future. . To really give the program an army slant, each test will be compar- able with a rank in the army. As a boy passes a test he will advance from a private to a corporal, from corporal to sergeant. Of sixteen tests thirteen must be passed to become a general. In addition to all these responsi- bilities. Mr. Miller, in coordination with Art Smith, will have charge of the intra-mural program. Probably quite a few of our boys will remember Doc Miller from Camp Big Silver, where he directed the medical department. New Restrictions Initiated To Improve Lunch Periods Under the new lunch system, stu- dents will be confined to the audi- torium, the cafeteria and a small por- tion of the hall outside the cafeteria. No roaming of the halls during either lunch period will be permitted. During the past week, teachers were on duty both fourth and fifth hours, eating between periods. Hall supervisors are Mrs. Marie Ersig, Miss Hannah Shaw, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, Mrs. Kathryn Shuler, Miss Gertrude Kanney and Mrs. Isla Van Vranken. Teachers on guard in the auditor- ium are Mrs. Eula Upp, Miss Marjorie Hamilton, and Harry Wohler. The only teacher patrolling the cafeteria is Watson Welever. An organization meeting was held Thurseday with teachers assigned a definite lunch hour to guard. Brown Announces Changes In Polar's Coaching Stalf A. J. Brown, athletic director, an- nounced several important changes in the Bears' coaching staff which were acted upon at a meeting of the Athletic Board last Tuesday. The principal change finds Elmer Vorderburg, last year's assistant coach, assuming sole direction of the varsity football squad. Another major change concerns the disbanding of the freshman team as a separate unit. The first year men will work out with the reserve squad under the direction of Watson Wele- ver. L. C. Clark, last year's Frosh coach, will assist both Vorderburg and Welever.

K. Sheline, adviser. Lois Schoonmaker is editor-in-chief, Nor- man Dagaforde, assistant editor, Harold Mondville and Al Phillop, art editors, Kathryn Rudolph, senior girls' editor, George Skaff, senior boys' editor, Ed Sloan, boys' sports editor and business manager, Betty Clark, girls' sports editor, Sally Kale, bookkeeper, Ruth Schiedler and Madonna Ort, club editors, and for the first time two junior editors, Clara Mae Spath and Adele Leorke. The staff has launched its exten- sive sales campaign beginning Wednesday, September 23, to Wednes- day, October 7. Although there is a great -demand for materials used for the year book, there will be no in- crease in the price. The usual cost of 351.75 will be charged with a down payment of 50 cents and the balance paid on installments. The American Indian has been re- warded with the dedication and the theme. Individual pictures, and more candid shots promise to be the most interesting highlights of the book. Club pictures will be taken out-doors, providing the weather is clear. Senior's appointments for pictures at the photo-refiex department of La- Salle Kz Koch's may be made with Kathryn Rudolph and George Skaff. The Tattler stad would like to congratulate all of the Saga Staff members on their positions and wish them the best of luck in their 1943 publication. English Enrollment High Over 9 Other Departments The English classes of Woodward have an enrollment of approximately 1',700 students which means that about 300 students are not taking this course. The science department ranks sec- ond with a probable enrollment of 980 students taking one of the various subjects included in this course. Close to science is history with an approxi- mate 975 students studying this sub- ject. About 675 students are enrolled in the different mathematics classes, 500 students take shorthand or typing, and about 480 boys work in the shops. Students in the language depart- ment number around 300, and 160 pupils take art. In home economics, there are about 137, while the musical branch of sub- jects holds only about 75 students. Dorothy Taylor Is Only Girl Enrolled In Auto Mechanics Dorothy Taylor, senior, is the only girl enrolled in the general shop, stated Joy Mohrhardt. Being inter- ested in auto mechanics, Dorothy's taking the course usually open only to boys. However, she took an exam and scored above many of the boys. At present, she is working with sheet metal. Dorothy's school term ends in .Ian- uary after which she will attend East High School in Columbus, Ohio. C. C LaRue added that Dorothy is the only girl ever to take general shop in Woodward. MACOMBER SCENE OF STUDENT MEET Bowsher Discusses How Students Can Aid In the War What today's high school youth can do to aid the war effort and where they can most effectively place their services was discussed by Supt. E. L. Bowsher at a meeting of high school students representing various Toledo schools at Macomber last Tuesday ifternoon. Numerous educational authorities gave their opinions concerning the ad- justment of high school studies to most efliciently meet the require- ments demanded of this era and the post war period at a recent discus- sion held in Washington, D- C. The course of studies they advocated in- cluded those which would bring a clearer conception to the students of the problems they faced, and which would help them adjust and equip themselves to meet such problems. They demanded physical fitness as well as mental fitness. Courses in mathematics, science, physics, geography, social studies that would bring forth the various issues of the war, sewing, cooking, indus- trial arts, auto mechanics, first aid, and a study of the armed forces were particularly stressed. In the athletic field swimming, tennis, hiking, bas- ketball, football, intra-mural games would be most beneficial. Mr. Bowsher made a suggestion that we deprive ourselves of our year books, school paper, class rings, proms, and all evening activities. He also suggested that we walk to school if the distance was not too great. Advantageous organizations such as the Girl and Boy Scouts, Girl Reserves, etc., would prove profitable in helping us aid defense. Mr. Bowsher introduced the idea of forming a junior Civilian Defense Council which would work in con- junction with the Toledo Civilian De- fense Council. In closing, Mr. Bowsher reminded the students that never before has so great a challenge thrust itself before them. He said that their future would depend upon their thinking and edu- cation C. C. LaRue met with the students who attended the meeting, the club advisers, and teachers who are in charge of sudent activities this morn- ing during the assembly period, and discussed what the Woodward stu- dents could do in aiding defense. Charles H. Turner Discusses School Magazine Campaigns Charles H. Turner, who is an execu- tive of the Curtiss Publishing Com- pany, met on Tuesday with the prin- cipals of the Toledo public schools which will hold magazine drives. Last year a picture on the cover of a Saturday Evening Post pictured a very dejected football fan holding a blue banner on which was a white HW. The staff of the Tattler prompt- ly sent Mr. Turner a note asking if the picture represented Woodward. Although the answer was in the negative form, Mr. Turner was very amused at the coincidence. Appeal To Clubs An appeal to all clubs- - if you want to do vour part to help Woodward win a football game, get in touch with A. J. Brown or Clark and offer to sponsor a mass meeting. The following dates are when they are scheduled, Oct. 2, Oct. 16, Oct. 22, and Nov. 6. STUDENTS SUPPORT TO BE ASKED IN SECOND MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN 55 --- Department Heads Elected Many Retain Same Position E. L. Bowsher, superintendent of schools, requested that members of the faculty elect their various depart- ment heads. Teachers of Woodward selected the following: Mrs. Hazel McManamon, chairman of the English department, Mrs. Eula Upp, mathematics depart- ment, Miss Edna McLaughlin, history department, Floyd Lords, science de- partment, Miss Annie Wetterman, foreign language department, Clyde Van Tassle, commercial department, Hugh Montgomery, industrial arts de- partment, Miss June Anderson, art department, Miss Blanche Hazelton, home economics department, and Ar- thur Smith, physical education depart- ment. With the exception of Hugh Mont- gomery, the same teachers hold the same positions as they did last year. Miss Annie Wetterman is the first teacher to be chairman of the foreign language department. New Club To Be Formed In Place Of Athletic League Since the Athletic League was abandoned last year because of lack of interest in the club, the girls' leaders' class is organizing a new club which will meet once a week. Its aim is to help conduct classes by referee- ing games and to sponsor a worth- while after-school program for both boys and girls. Parties, hikes, roasts, square .danc- ing, coed tournaments and intra- murals are among these activities. Their training in refereeing and rec- reation will help these leaders in their plan to be of some service to others rather than themselves. Anyone In school may participate. Officers will be elected next Thurs- day after which some activity will be planned for October. Miss Kathryn McClure and Mrs. Lois Draves are advisers. Former Tattlerite Holds Position On Detroit Paper Marion Jaworski, student and sports editor of the Tattler, of ten years ago, has reached a journalist's goal by acquiring a position on one of Detroit's larger newspapers, The Detroit Free Press. Upon graduation from Woodward High School, Mr. .Iaworski obtained a position on The Toledo News-Bee, writing sports. It was here he began a column containing all the bowling information of Toledo, Perrysburg and Maumee, Ohio. After the News-Bee was dissolved he then went to work for the Phila- delphia Record. With a group of fel- low writers he then went to Zanes- ville, Ohio, to work on a new paper, The Zanesville News. Although his association with this paper has been most pleasant, he felt that he could not refuse a most promising offer to work in the sports department of the Detroit Free Press. Miss Grace Cronk's sixth hour biolo- gy class sent a very fine thank you note and congratulatory message to the Tattler staff and Printing depart- ment following their free edition last Friday. CLYDE VAN TASSEL CHOSEN HEAD Clyde Van Tassel Friday, October 2, Woodward pupils will again resume the ringing of door- bells in an all-out effort to make a sec- ond magazine campaign successful. Ex- tending to Tuesday, October 13, the campaign will be headed by Clyde Van Bishop and Floyd Lorcls, faculty chair- men. R. Reineke, representing the Curtis Publishing Company, and last 5-ear's director cfthe campaign, will meet with the faculty in rcorn 124 at 8:30, Wednes- day morning, September 30. On the same day he will speak to home room representatives during the assembly period which will be divided into two ' meetings, one freshmen and seniors and the other for sophomores and juniors. Each classroom will send a representative and the studies vsill Q send two or three depending on their size. l Object O'f Drive Cited . The money received this year will ,be used for the following useful pro- ljects: 1. To purchase instruments for lthe hand and orchestra. 2. To buy jsheet music for the glee club, band ' and orchestra. The remainder will be used to secure new velvet curtfins for the auditorium. The next desirable ob- ject is a new movie screen which could be rolled up. If there is still money left a portable 16 milli-meter sound machine to be used in class rooms would be purchased. Last year Woodward took in 33,490 in a record-breaking campaign. With Scott over-selling Woodward later in the year it is hoped this year to again break the record and be the champion sellers. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the people who bought magazines last year are prospects for renewal. Because of the war C. C. LaRue stat- ed that there would be no picnic or parade this year. He added that win- ning a football game would be the only occasion for such a celebration. How- ever there will be individual class prizes and an opportunity to secure much needed improvements for the school. Frosh Teaser Class Formed You know, kids, when we were fresh- men, we never heard the last of it. We were teased about it and I do mean teased! But now nobody even dreams about teasing the poor things! Why. I've waited for the day to be teased exclaimed Mary Gravius. And what happens? Nothing, answers Shirley Miller. If they don't start teasing us pretty soon, we won't feel at home wailed Janice Trautman and Margaret Alvermann. But there is hope, freshmen! The lost art ofWoodward will no longer be lost. For a class for teasing freshman is be- ing organized. To all upperclassmen who complete the course a T.F. Iteas- ing freshmenl degree will be given. So freshmen you can expect things to happen next week. And as soon as it happens, you are invited to come to the Tattler office. There you will be given signs saying I have been teased, Don't forget now! THE WOODWARD ,TATTLER THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published and Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

Constructive Policy To Continue HE WOODWARD TATTLER is entering into another year of publication to bring all the news to the students and faculty in a constant, consistent, and constructive manner. Your investment of two cents in this paper proves you are interested in the happenings and gosssip of Woodward. You are reading the news, all the news, after it has been gathered and printed by students like yourself. The present Tattler staff is inviting you to ex- press your opinion and would appreciate it if you submit your ideas to them by means of the Tatt- ler Box outside 122. The Tattler hopes to voice both student and faculty opinions on all matters which will arise during the coming year. The present lunch system is the inaugural event. In this issue you'll find both sides of the question. Let's hear from you. How do you think it could be improved? Next week a summary of the why and To what end will be printed. The Tattler is your paper and your voice in this and all matters concerning students, faculty, and the betterment of Woodward. Buy a Tattler to follcglw the facts and get into the affairs of Wood- War . Prepare Yourself To Aid America OOD warriors are not weaklings. Our nation, locked in a struggle of supreme importance, demands soldiers with physical and mental strength. Our men have all gone through training that hardened and readied them for action on the battle field. In camps all over the United States, our soldiers had to undergo rigorous drills that fit them for the job ahead. High school youth will undoubtedly have some part in this war. Some preparation is necessary. We can't go into the fight blindly. We must begin now to train our minds and bodies for the big job wait ing for us. A So far, we students have not been really adected very much by the war, except for a few air raid drills. Now we will find the condict seeping into our studies. Gym activities will be stepped up to keep our physical health at its best. Mental calcuations will be encouraged to induce quick thinking which is so important to a combatant on the field of battle. We will go through a hardening, toughening rou- tine and come out ready---ready to help! We should be glad of the chance to prepare our- selves for future service. Let's make ourselves the reserve forces ofAmerica, ever in readiness to do our part. MMM, Do Your Part To Uphold Reputation UR FOOTBALL GAMES will be one of the few activities we are allowed to have. Be- cause of rubber conservation and other war- time limitations, our social gatherings will defi- nitely be cut down. Why not take advantage of this, one of our remaining pleasures, and go to the games? While there, watch your conduct and uphold Woodavard's reputation of outstanding, unconquer- able spirit. Instead of making eyes at John or telling the latest gossip to Suzy, keep your eyes on t e game until the time comes to cheer. Then, let loose! Remember, everytime you yell you're giving those players confidence by letting them know you're behind them. In times of defeat be good sports and take it on the chin with a smile and with hopes that the next game will be a victorious one. Let's all attend every game and show others the victory is not imperative for good spirit. Youiiname Itlm ' n Swap Shop I Slumping through the halls this week, were happy Woodward students. s 4 4- .

Sudden- ly he was stopped. His journey was terminated.At sudden orders he turned around and went back. Fifty more slow, careful steps were taken. Again he met a barrier. Again he turned around and tra- versed the badly beaten path. On this trip, howev- er, he fooled them. He took a detour through---the cafeteria. Yes, he was one of those people who walk up and down, up and down, in the restricted lunch district. Oh, For An Inspiration Els theffeature ed ever going to be angry at me !

How To Write Feature The first thing to do when you see that the ed- itor is about to assign you a feature story is o duck. lf this fails Kas it usally doesj you then look about for material. What is the funniest thing in Woodward apart from the faculty?---the Saga staff. First you write down all the Saga's good points. This takes you about one-millionth of a second. You then write all the Saga's bad points. By the time you have finished it is January and you are cold. The Woodward heating system then goes to work and everybody gets colder. Your hands begin to freeze and change oolor Soon you look like a blue-blood so Ruth Schiedler tries to date you. You are not unconscious so naturally you refuae. Before she goes she informs you that the Saga staff may break up because the goverment has de- cided to ration rnarijauna.lThis will not affect the Tattler staff as We use only Hasheeshj - By this time it is Monday night and you cannot finish your feature because Bob Hope isn't on till Tuesday. You then go out and buy several copies of Joe Miller's Famous book entitled Jokes For All Occasions, Shoes shined and dogs walked Cheap. From then on let Joe do it. Q ELMER'S ELEVATED TRAVEL TO ADRIAN Trucks Transport Players To Michigan Stadium This Afternoon Seeking their first win of the new campaign, Coach Elmer Vorderburg will lead his charge against Adrian tonight, on the enemy field. The Bear squad will leave Wood- ward Friday afternoon, traveling by truck, with a few private cars likely to accompany them. Besides the entire team, 28 players, two managers, Joseph Dence, A. J. Brown, Watson Welever, L. C. Clarke and the Tattler sports representative will make the trip. The Bears will present the team Sidney Adams, chef de luxe, was which the downtown coaches have selected as the dark horse in the city league. Wisniewski probably will not play, but otherwise the same line- up used in the Libbey game will .be employed.

The Bear cubs havejust one week of hard practice before they meet Waite on Oct 1. With only two weeks of prac- tice behind them it may show in the score. With four boys coming up from last year's freshmen squad to spark the attack and a host of Hedglings do- ing their best, Woodward hopes to mow down the invading Indians. They will sorely miss the services of Andy Mat- usiewicz, Andy Nowak, and Dick Aubry who have moved up to the varsity. Coach Doc Welever has some big boys coming into his line and if he can whip them into any shape, all the east- siders will feel it where it hurts most-- in the score. The cubs have a five game schedule this year with absolutely no outside games because of the transportation problem. Doc Welever has been trying to convince an outside opponent to visit Woodward but thus far has been unsuc- cessful.The lightweights will play, all their games on Thursday afternoons to avoid congestion with the varsity. The absence of a freshman squad forces them to carry the players who have enough ability to make them worthwhile. Lack of coaohes,equipment and transportation forced the athletic department to discontinue the fresh- men team. Senior Cabinet Committee Buys Electric Scoreboard A new electric scoreboard was pur- chased for the boys' gym by a oom mittee chosen from last year's senior cabinet. The new scoreboard, costing two hun- dred seventeen dollars and ninety-five cents, was installed by A. R. Bitter's electrical class. The general or auditorium fund is to be swelled by ten dollars and forty-six cents, the balance of the senior class fund. It will probably, although yet an uncertainty, be donated to the science department for a new portable sound movie projector. THE WOODWARD TATTLER 'LIBBEY'S DEFENDING CHAMPS GAIN VICTORY OVER FIGHTING BEARS 24-6 - 58 rxc s Although the Bear gridiron squad lost a hard fought battle to the Lib- bey Cowboys, 24 to 6, they showed more speed and power than last year's group. 14 ill all The kicking of the pigskin by Paul Varwig was an outstanding feature of the contest.

Bear Thin Clads To Tryout With only five days till the first meet Coach Doc Welever hopes to get his cross country squad organized this week. He wants any boys who are in- terested in this sport to come out for a tryout. Following is the team sched- ule for the season. The boys begin the season at Scott, September 30, October 5 at Libbey, October 12, at DeVilbiss, October 19 at Waite, and end the sea son with the district meet at Ottawa Park. VORDERBURG ADMIRES PEPiSPIRITg USTASZEWSKI HAS FAITH IN TEAM Ustaszewski With the faint aroma of canned to- matoes floating around, Al Ustaszew- ski's answers to this reporter's ques- tions were all non-committal. Your guess is as good as mine, and Our chances of winning are 50-50, is about the most you can get Al to say. Don't be fooled by his interest in Home Economics. Al is one of the toughest, roughest, most modest b iys you ever met This is what Principal LaRue said when speaking of Al. Al is one of the toughest boys ever to attend Woodward. This is about the highest tribute any football player here has ever received. As to Al's ability on the gridiron, the opponents think that Al is the most vicious tackler in the city. Al is our choice for the all city fullback spot. Al represents the elder half of the Usta- szewski combination. His brother Joe, a junior, is now playing the center position replacing Wisniewski. Aside from a medium amount of sand- lot jousting, all of Al's gridiron experi- ence has been gained h re at Woodward High. He played with the freshman squad, the reserves, and finally moved up to the varsity in his junior year. As captain of the team we wish Al all the luck in the world in bringing home that first victory. If we should win remember to reserve a lot of the credit for him. - Voderburg Realizing the difiiculties which face him in assuming the job left vacant by Jack Taylor's entrance into the army, Elmer Vorderburg is determined to do his utmost as coach aiding our football team to victory. Born in Toledo, Coach Vorderburg received his primary football training at Libbey high school. He gained val- uable experience in the game during his college years af Carnegie Tech, al- though he received his degree in the field of science. He has spent one year at Woodward as a science teacher, and he was also assistant football coach. In previous years, he has taught in all the Toledo high schools with the exception of De Vilbiss. X As befitting a science teacher, he spends part of his leisure time in gar- dening. Other spare time activities in- clude the attending offootball, basket- ball, and baseball games. When questioned about what he ad- mired sbout Woodward, he promptly replied, I admire their school spirit. I'm going to do my best not to let the kids down! Paul Varwig, Bear Halfback, Lightened Dull Evening For Woodward Libbey's defending Woodward's hopeful city league play last ,power-laden Cowboys victory in Libbey stadium. About the only comfort gleaned from the game for Bear fans was the fact that their charges scored thg firs touchdown in city play for this year- The score came early in the second quarter, after a scoreless first period. ,A Libbey fumble in midfield was re- champions and Bears opened Friday and the rolled to a 24-6 icovefed by a quick reverse found lUtazewski reeled off 20 yards. A ,Sloan to Bucher pass put the ball on gthe four. Santus then passed to Sloan for the score. l S This incensed the Cowboys, for on gthe following kick-of they launched l a sixty-yard sustained drive with first ' Foltz, then Krall pounding the Wood- gward line. Klofta, fullback, finally hit pay-dirt from the two-yard line. The conversion failed and the score was tied. - Q Then .with a few minutes left in the ,half, Libbey took to the air. Half- aback Leland Pete's first toss was in- P I 5 pass Was dropped by a Libbey man in lthe clear on the six-yard line.

Once again the conversion failed. Second Half Libbey The second half was strictly Libbey. ,A Woodward pass was intercepted by 'Pete, who was spilled on the Wood- ward 34, Jeffries then heeled the end ,for fourteen yards. Two plays later Pete crashed over. The kick was Wide, and the final score came in the last quarter when Foltz intercepted a pass on the Bear ten, from which point he soon scored. Beyond doubt the best back on the field did not wear a Libby uniform. He was Paul Varwig, Bear halfback, whose excellent kicking, spearlike running and accurate passing light- ened what otherwise would have been a dull evening for Woodward par- complete in the end-zone.

Art Smith To Assume New Duties With Rockets At U. Art Smit will assume new cosching duties at the University of Toledo. Mr. Smith will assist head coach Doc Spears and will turn his coaching abilities to the Rocket forward wall. Coaching is not a new story to this gridiron pilot. His experience includes fourteen years at Woodward, eleven of which were spent steering the local eleven. Due to the new football rule, freshmen boys may participate in var- sity sports. There will not be too big a difference in the ages of the Rocket players and the high school team Mr. Smith had been coaching. The job of directing the boys intra- mural will be abandoned, for his new duties will be inforoed after school and on Sa urday afternoon.

Teaches Home Economicsg Likes, N eedlwork, Chicken Miss Mary Buck, friend of many of Woodward's faculty, is the newest teacher to enter our school's retinue and become a member of our fine teaching staff. Her services are used in the home economics division. Miss Buck is unique in that she ar- rives late in the afternoon to take over her pedogogial duties. ' Her mornings are taken up at Feilbach school, a drive of nearly three miles from Woodward. Her spare time is taken up by needlework, which seems like the postman taking a walk on his day off. She gardens as a hobby and is the proud possessor of a victory plot. For food her desires rest on chicken in any form, from egg to roast. An addict of news broadcasts, she keeps well up on every phase of the war. A former graduate of Scott high school, she was a classmate of Eng- lish teachers, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny and Mrs. Marie Ersig at that school. She went out of the state to gain a degree, choosing an Illinois college. Home economics is being stressed because of the war effort, which pre- scribes more practical studies. VOX POP Dear Editor, Closed lunch periods have always swung over the heads of Woodward pupils as the pendulum swung over the head of the prisoner in the pit. But believe me, I would rather be that prisoner in the pit than a Wood- ward pupil in that mass of filth in the restricted area on the second floor. That pendulum was released gradu- ally but this idea of closed lunch periods has cut us in two before we were even given a fair chance to prove we had learned our lesson last year. Teachers are willing to patrol students trapped in enough to hold at the halls to keep a space large most 50 kids, but which now packs from 200 to Why weren't to patrol the 300 of them together. these teachers willing second Hoor last year? Why, Ask them. Now the football players are coming to the rescue to aid them. I wonder honestly how many of those gallant volunteers agree with this closed lunch period idea? At one time periods were a relief, a break in the day when a student was able to relax, but now it's more like a recreation hour of a prison with guards over your head, and if you make a false move, beware or a worthy guard may turn you in. Stressing physical fitness for the war effort? May I ask if it is helping the youth keep in good health by asking 200 to 300 kids to jam in -a space with no ventilation of any kind? Is this a sanitary condition? Would an important visitor put his okay on this method? Hardly. A solution must be had. This one is abominableg it's terribleg and the sooner something is done the better off everyone will be. A disgusted senior, L. A. F. Olub Officers Replaced Due to the illness ofFrances Bal and the absence of Lottie Swiderski, who is no longer attending Woodward. the Polish Literary Society has made a change in officers. The two new officers who are replacing these positions are: Valeria Stasiak, secretary, and Helen Nalepa, treasurer. Students Dislike Prison , Teachers Praise Quiet , Of Second Floor Two weeks of closed lunch system is over. Students were confined to the auditorium, the cafeteria, and a small fraction of the hall outside the cafeteria. No roaming of the halls was permitted. Mrs. Marie D. Ersig, at a recent meeting was selected chairman of the lunch system. Mrs. Ersig will always be on duty fifth hour, and Mrs. Dor- othy Matheny will have the fourth hour session. Miss Gertrude Kanney, Mrs. Kathryn Schuler, Miss Hannah Shaw, and Mrs. Isla Van Vranken will rotate every week. Mrs. Gladys Packer, substitute for Mrs. Schuler, assisted the other five teachers dur- ing Mrs. Schuler's absence. 1 Student help in the halls fourth hour are Tom Chadwick, Louis Kacz- marek, James Knierim, John Payak, and Norman Wolfe. Marvin Bucher, John Callahan, Jim Kessling, Jim Swaya, Jack McKenzie and Alfred Ustaszewski assist the teachers dur- ing fifth hour. Teachers on guard in the audi- torium are Miss Marjorie Hamilton, Mrs. Eula Upp, Mis Dorothea Bishop and Harry Wohler. The Stu-dent Coun- cil is assisting these teachers. Many Opinions Vary In regard to the lunch system the following comments were made: Mrs. Hazel McManamon, in 220, stated Very satisfactory, the peace and quiet are something new and well ap- preciatedf' Charles Staneart said that from his standpoint it is very affective, but he feels sorry for teachers on second fioor near the cafeteria. Pm much pleased with the new order. Pupils no longer gather at my doors and distract my classes. With- out the quiet I couldn't possibly handle my oversize class, answered Miss Edith Murphy of room 49. Senior Robert Durliot says that the cafeteria is overcrowded and dirty by fifth hour. Also, I always walk around the halls and this seems more like prison. Frances Lathrop, junior, said I never walk around the halls. The only difference I noted is that it's more crowded and dirtier. Of course it's more crowded but other from that I haven't noticed a change, stated Jack Waters, soph. Kay Vordas, -a freshman said she enjoyed it. Of course I don't know what the other kind is like, but I'll be used to this soon. The conclusion in a nut shell is teachers like the peace and quiet and students want more freedom. 1-l..l.. Extensive Program Planned By Red Cross Organization An extensive program has been planned for this year by Mrs. Mary O'Brien's Red Cross organzation. Al- readv a score of the girls have helped in the distribution of books in the book room. In order to help defense, the boys will assist air raid wardens, help to collect scrap, salvage paper, and save string. The girls plan to do knitting and sewing on a much large' scale than last year. Gift boxes for England and China are to be packed. Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's friendship girls and Miss Belle Joseph's classes have offered their help on the pro- duction end. Miss Blanche Hazelton's classes have requested material for sewing purposes. Last year the Red Cross received a plaque for their outstanding services H to Woodward.

Maybe others feel the same way so write to Vox Pop and we'l1 print your opinion. Girls, do you have a boyfriend in the service of whom you are proud?

The other instructors are: Mrs. Grace Kellermier, Miss Gertrude Kan- ney, Miss Dorothy Bishop, Miss Belle Joseph, Miss Annie Wetterman, Mrs. Freda Mac Donald, Miss Grace Cutler, Miss Ethel Kerlin, and Mrs. Bianca Russell. Dick German and Grace Mitzky are puzzling people. Outside of school they go about together everywhere- yet in the school building they barely speak to each other. Does the class- room cool their ardor? The Tattler staff on the behalf of the faculty and students of Wood- ward, wish to extend their sympa- thy to Marjorie Weeks, senior. on the death of her mother last Mon- day, September 28. Prizes are to be the highlight of the magazine campaign which started today, and will continue through Tuesday, October 1'3. R. Reinike, the Curtis Publishing Co. representative, held a meeting for faculty and homeroom representatives last Wednesday, to outline the cam- paign. A choice of a lady's 17-jewel Bulova wrist watch, or a man's 15-jewel Bulova strap watch, an Emerson pocket radio, and a 3525.00 defense bond, will be given to the student selling the highest number of dollars during the campaign. The student who sells the second highest number of dollars will have a second choice of the prizes listed above. The third highest pupil will receive the remain- ing prize. Every student selling two subscrip- tions or more, will be entitled to prizes listed in the sales booklet. Booklet prizes are granted on a credit basis. Sales of Curtis publications give one award credit for each dollar collected. A credit is also given for each 252.00 brought in for any other magazine sold. Besides these prizes, twenty awards will be given out at a drawing held in the auditorium at the completion of the campaign. Students who sell magazines, therefore may win one or more of these additional prizes. The homeroom bringing in the most money per capita today, will have either a candy or ice cream treat. An- nouncement of further homeroom prizes will be made as the campaign progresses. Teachers too, will receive prizes. For the first five days of the drive, the teacher whose room brings in the most money per capita, will receive a book which is compiled of the best stories from the Saturday Evening Post. At the end of the campaign, the teacher whose room has turned in the most, will receive a 325.00 war bond. The school is to be divided into two teams as they were last year. Miss Dorothea Bishop will head the White team, while Floyd Lords will be in charge of the Blue team. Clyde Van Tassel is head of the campaign here at Woodward. Have You Lost Anything?

Students will once more can- vass their respective neighberhoods to sell magazines. To buy instruments and sheet music for the band and glee club, curtains for the auditorium, a movie screen and other things badly needed in school, is the object of this drive. Everyone with school spirit should exert their energy to bring in as many subscriptions as possible. Last year we went way over our goal and we Want to do as well, or better, this year. The only way to succeed is for everyone to work together. Pull for this cause which means so much to the school, and to you, who are students. Try to gain the distinction of having sold more magazines than anyone else. Endeavor to make this drive more prosperous than anything we ever attempted. Try kids. And if you try hard enough, you may rest assured we'll come out on top. What's The Solution Students? HE COMING out party is over. Yes, the new lunch system has formally taken its place in Woodward's society.Three weeks have passed, yet friction is still thriving. Students upon entering school found a great Change had taken place. L u n ch h o u r s were scheduled with new restrictions which to most sophomores, juniors, and seniors, were most object- ionable. Freshman of course, knew nothing of the once was freedom. Criticism has come up from every corner on the part of the pupils. They long for the freedom they once knewg the fr e e d om which gave a time of relaxation. Who is to shoulder the conviction of having caused the turnabout. Who? You, pupils of Wood- ward are to blame: Don't be astonished. A clean-up campaign was carried on last year for one full week to arouse the student body,and to a certain extent was successful, but after the drive, Sally Co-ed and Johnny Highboy became lax. What else was there to do? Complaining is useless. Therefore, if you are a Sally Co-ed or a Johnny Highboy who is constant- ly bickering think it over: before you begin a revolution, have a solution. Team Brings Home The Bacon N THE WORDS of one of footballs greatest players, the great Knute Rockne, the boys brought home the bacon last Friday night. Their victory over Adrian showed that they have the heart, spirit, stamina, and resourcefulness to win. This victory means a lot to us. It proves that we do have a certain something that gives us a combination that can win. The boys and Mr. Vorderburg deserve every credit we can give them. Congratulations are in order for them so be sure and let them know you're glad they won. The downtown coaches pick us' as the dark horse in the city league, but what matters most is that we have the confidence and the combination that will win. To the students: Be out there cheering. Nothing heartens the team so as to see a thousand kids out there pulling for them. To the team: Let's get another one tonight. This one really counts. Thanks Papa! HROUGH the forsightedness of C. C. LaRue, Woodward's faculty has been urged to attend the Pre-Flight Training course offered by the Toledo University. This is being done so that our teachers may in turn instruct the students of Wood- ward in aeronautics. More and more, Americans are becoming air- minded, especially since we are engaged in war. Al- though a Theory of Flight class was organized last year by Lawrence Nuber, it is hoped there will be more teachers available to instruct such classes in the future. We commend Principal LaRue on his thoughtful suggestion. Y, Y Y S someone's feelings. This is never done inten- tionally, however, and we hope that these in- frequent slips will be overlooked by everyone concerned. We intend to do our best to see that these slips do not occur.

One noisy iifth hour one of our energetic teachers who patrols the halls during the lunch hour,and a hall guard caught three boys who had Qthey thought! perfected an ingenious device by which they could escape at lunch time and eat outside. They placed a piece of paper in the lock thereby, enabling them to reenter without being noticed. The old adage, Crime doesn't pay, applied to this. They met a snag,----the paper fell out. They had to be noisy about it Soooo, the hall guard had to let them in---into the arms of the waiting teacher. After a mild reprimaud, the energetic teacher decided that they should also have a conference with Principal LaRue. Instructing them to follow her, the energetic teacher proceeded to plow her way through the masses that were entering the noon movie. Every few steps the energetic teacher looked around to see if her prisoners were follow-- ing her. She also kept a sharp ear out because as she passed the auditorium, she heard the exciting sentence, Let's duck. From then on she kept a sharper eye on them. Arriving at the office, she graciously opened the door to let her caught cul- prits walk through. ---BUT, no culprits---only one energetic teacher looking as if she had lost some- thing. Teachers Table This is a story about the teachers' lunch table in the cafeteria, where knives are used for purposes other than cutting meat. As soon as the bell rings teachers make a mad dash or the cafeteria with Mrs. Mary O'Brien and Homer Hanham finishing in a dead heat. Of late however, Art Smith has been cheating. Ever since he saw the last Tarzan picture he's been swinging on the chandelier. And the teachers really eat fast, in fact they eat so fast that the gravy boat has to have a convoy. And no one watches what they eat. In fact if you don't keep yelling I'm a teacher, I'm a teacher, your life is in danger. As a matter of fact they still don't know if Jack Taylor was draf- ted or if someone ate him. Sappy Synonyms Fuel---a clown or jester Mormon---a person with the mind ofa twelve-year old.

T attling Tat How do Woodward girls feel about the nine o'clock curfew? This is the question our roving re- porter has endeavored to answer. Quegtiotriz What do you think of the teen-age cur- ew. Virginia Buckholz, senior: Well most of us girls don't talk to service men downtown, and the curfew interferes with our activities in that we have to get home before nine o'clock. For the girls who made spectacles of themselves down- town, the curfew really is a good thing---but for the majority, it's definitely unfair. Marjorie Kutschback, senior: I don't think it's at all fairto the decent girl. It's ridiculous, in a way. Dolores Czarnecki, junior: It's awful! Lots of us girls are being punished for what was not our fault at all. We can't go to shows downtown now or do anything. Dorothy Czarnecki, junior: I don't think it's fair.' Rita Jane Wozniak, sophomore: Nine o'clock is' much too early. Have I anything else to say? Well, I wouldn't say what I really think. Joan Bieniek, freshman: I don't like it. It's un- fair to most of the girls. Stuff and Things Things I never knew till now about Woodward fand these I didn't find out until I searchedj and some I still don't know ---- That there are six bells on each fioor, and eight- een in the whole school. That the meaning of the second C in C.C. LaRue is a deep dark secret, and no one --not even the Selective Service Board ---- knows what it means. That Woodward won the football pennant in 1932 That the telephone system is in fof all placesj the boiler room. That the Saga office??? is room 126. That defense classes have been held during the summer and are still going at Woodward. That Gene Periat is the greenest freshman in Woodward. That Sloppy Joe sweaters are still very much in evidence and always will be, I guess. That Home Nursing is very interesting and a lot of fun and history is still as dry as ever. What an improvement the PA system is over the old method of teachers reading the announcements and leaving half of them out. That Don Weber is now the proud possessor ofan ofiice, next to Principal LaRues. Yes, he occupies it all alone and directs his hall guards from it. Gee: There are lot of things I didn't know till now. But as the saying goes, You learn something new everyday. Stretch of Imagination Imagine! Betty Meek---not making cookies or something in Home Ec. Gerald Lenning---not having the last word. Adele Loehrke---not finding something to laugh at. Kenny Shassberger---not getting lost. Joyce Bell---not telling a joke.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER POLAR BEARS MEET INDIANS TONIGHT Adrian Victory Brings New Hope To V orderburg's Fighting Eleven Woodward's Polar Bears will try to keep up their winning ways tonight when they meet the Waite Indians at Waite Stadium. With two straight decisive wins be- hind them the Indians are going to be hard to beat. The Bears, however, don't plan on anybody pushing them around either, so there's sure to be plenty of rough and tough action on hand. The Indians will outweigh the' Bears in both the line and the back- field. Being this far along in the sea- son both coaches will shoot everything they have on the game. The Bears will place their hopes on stoping Waite's triple-threat backs Horvath and Boothly. Paul Varwig and Al Ustaszewski carry Wood- ward's hope of scoring. Both these boys made a very good showing last week at Adrian and if they can keep up this form they may scalp the In- dians single-handedly. Waite is de- cidedly a tough outfit and hard to beat. Adrian outweighed us last week, so the worry is not at all as to how heavy they're going to be. The Bears are going to concern themselves and will be in there giving a good ac- count of themselves. With Callahan slightly injured and Irv Wisniewski probably unable to play the whole game, Joe Ustaszew- ski, younger half of the Ustaszewski combination, may get a chance at center. The rest of the line-up will be the same as in the Adrian game. Bucher and Knierim, ends, Piasecki and Paradysz, tackles, Kaczmarek and Puls, guards, and Wisniewski, center. The backfield will be Sloan, Santus, Varwig and Captain Ustaszewski. Waite's probable line-up is Kives, Smith, Schick, Kimpon, Shafer, Leh- man and Collins in the line, and Habosky, Horvath, Lamoreaux and Boothly in the backfield. Game is eight o'clock tonight. Football Vote Taken Of the 2075 students who voted in the football attendance poll con- ducted by Miss Helen Griffin's first year script class, 673 voted that they regularly attend games, and 728 voted negatively. From the group of 728, which voted that they did not attend regularly, 21 gave the reason as losing team, 31, price of ticket, 115, transportation, 62, no com- panionship, 232, not interested, 199, working, 3, parents object, 1', late hours, and 7, because of church ac- tivities. Ray Lessing was instigator of the plan and was assisted by Ruth Sur- geseon. Teachers Select Leu Mrs. Eva Leu has been selected by the faculty as the Woodward represen tative to collect and remit association dues, contributions to the Community Chest, March of Dimes, etc. Dues will be collected from te achers who are members of associations such as the Toledo Teachers' Association, Northern Ohio Teachers' Association and the National Teachers'Association. , Red ,Cross First Aid Taught Red Cross instuctions will be taken by Mrs. Mary O'Brien's physiology class once a week for two periods during the first semester.

VARWIG, UsTAszEwsK1 STAND oUT POGSFRS, 1'1lI,'gIf'g,l5Ij,'ffERT IN COMBAT WITH TOUGH GRIDDERS I x Varwig Acknowledged Best Game Hi-Lights 'Santus, Hal Ressler Score Kicker In City, Boots 80 Yards In Game This is the lowdown on the high ups in the career of the triple-threat thun- derbolt, varsity halfback, Paul fPogieJ Varwig. The city's leading exponent on how to boot a football hails from Chase school where he played sandlot foot- ball. This is Pogie's first year on the varsity but not even Grantland Rice could guess it from the way he stands enemy linemen on their heads. He is still active in six-man foot- ball, but most of his spare time is spent in boxing and many fans will remember him as the dark-haired mittman who scored an important vic- tory over a Waite slugger in last year's Gayety Night. He is acknowledged to be the best kicker in the city. Against Adrian Friday, he booted an 80-yard kick into the Adrian end zone. He also tossed a complete pass to set up a touchdown which he later scored. All in all, you can see that Paul was a pretty busy boy last Friday, and it's a certainty that he won't have any more time on his hands tonight. He will be out there employing his various talents in a way calculated to give Jack Mollenkopft a few gray hairs before the evening's entertain- ment is over. There is no feminine portrait on Paul's bureau, so girls we have avail- able, one varsity halfback, dark haired, good looking, versatile and sparkling. Who'll be the first to take him off the eligibility list? Students Vote On Reasons For Not Attending Games 2,075 students voted in the football attendance poll conducted by Miss Helen Maire Griffins first year script class. Of the 2,075 that voted,673 said that they regularly attended games and 728 voted in the negative. Twenty-one said they did not attend games because of a losing team,price oftickets,31, 115, transportation, 62, of no companion, 232 not interested in game, 199, working, three parents object, one, late hours, seven because of church. Ray Lessing, instigator of the poll plan, was assisted by Ruth Surgeseon. Office Indebted To Soph Special mentions to Miss Dorothy Pasch's sophomore classes! Her third and fifth hour English clas es were given the opportunity oflearn- ing the art of alphabetizing. The office girls are grateful to these students, for they alphabetized all of the freshman schedules, which was a total of 724. Woodward Band Challenges Musical-Minded Students Calling all musicians! Would you like to attend the Woodward football games and mass meetings without tickets and win the admiration of the school? You can, because today the band is issuing a oall for bass players, horn, clarinet, saxaphone, flute, and ac- cordion players, so how can you be left out? , At present there are nearly twice as many members as last year with fifteen freshman, ten sophomores, nine jun iors,and eleven seniors. So if you are musically fit--- Join the Band. Iver Petersen is president, Dick Foran, vice-president and Donna Mar- ril is secretary and treasurer. Guy Sutphen is director of the band. The Bear win over Adrian was the first victory since the 14-6 conquest of Lima South two years ago. I O O Mrs.Eula Upp certainly deserves the title of Woodward's top fanette. Mrs. Upp braved some two odd hours of Michigan rain to see the Blue and White come through at Adrian. I K I Elmer Vorderburg may not be the best coach in the city fwe think he isl but certainly not another can touch nim for wit and humor. His constant, well timed quips, give the boys' spirits i boost, and provide that extra push that will net more victories this year -an It Ill The i'Man in the Stands opines that Andy Wrong Way Masticiewicz has introduced something new in football. Andy's stunt of kicking the ball back- ward is definitely strategic, because when punting backwards there is very little chance that the kick will be blocked. if IF 8 Ralph Zychowicz and Bing Crosby, 41 grid grads, made the Adrain trip last Friday. Zych'l acted as spotter for the Michigan announcer, and Bill was tabulator for Coach Vorderburg. u u s Pogie Varwig holds the distinction of kicking the longest punt of the year at Adrian. Paul's boot traveled 80 yards and rolled into the Adrian end.zone. 4 4 an The Bears attempted only four pas- ses with the slippery ball, and comple- ted two, Va:wig to Sloan, and Ustazew- ski to Kessling, Both setting up touch- downs, Ustazewski, incidentally played one of the finest games of his carreer. Woodward's Shops Stress Science, Math For Defense The Woodward shops are particularly stressing science and mathematics this year because of their extensive use in the defense industry and in the armed forces. Students ofPau1 O. Thomae can apply their knowledge to the three new machines which have been donated to them by the Board of Education. A new three thousand dollar milling machine, to be used by the second and third year machine shop boys, has been given them in addition to shaping and grinding machines used in the machine shop. - Boys Run Movie Machines Again this year, Doc Bitter, elec- tricity instructor, and his boys will op- erate the movie machine during both lunch hours. Jim Davis aud John Pulhug, are training William Barron, R i c h a r d Chesko, Earl Brown, and Lowell Kil- man to run the machine. -l-i. .. Tattler Staff Asks Clubs To Select News Reporters In past years, many club activities have gone unnoticed by the school, due to a lack of effort on the club's reporter to submit news to the Tattler. The present Tattler staff is requesting that all clubs elect a permanent, efficient club reporter. They ask that his or her duties be to submit all publishable news not later than the first Monday before the occurance of their planned events. If this plan is followed, all clubs are promised the fullassistance of the Tat- services. P.S. Oh! those uniforms. tler in their enterprise.

The score is no indication of the Woodward superiority, and most of the game was played in the shadow of the Adrian goal posts. The Bruins took the field the under- dog, but this stage was quickly dispell- ed. Ustaszewski kicked off to Wilson of Adrian who was spilled on the Adrian Ten. Three line plays failed and then W1lson's punt was blocked by Bucher, and recovered by Piasecki on the five. In three plays Bill Santus ran out wide, then cut back for the score. Captain Al Us.taszewski's educated toe added the point. This ended the scoring for the first- half, with fumbles marring three Wood ward touchdown drives deep in enemy territory. In the third quarter after a punt ex- change Woodward recovered a fumble on the Adrian twenty. VarwE!? flipped a pass to Sloan on the five. Varwig then knifed over end for the score. A bad pass from center ruined the conversion. The final score came in the final quarter with most of the Woodward second team in action. Driving from mid-field Al Cslugl Ustaszewski whip- ped a pass down the center from the 35 yard stripe, to Jimmy Kessling who grabbed the ball on the seven and was pulled down on the five. Hal Ressler then ran wideout to the right and over for the score. The conversion failed and the game ended a few minutes later with the Bear second team driving down field. The game was played under trying conditions, with a steady rain falling throughout the contest, re- stricting it to straight power plays.

Anderson's Art Classes Make Fire Prevention Posters Every fire helps Hitler is the na- tional slogan for Fire Prevention Week which is being held from Octo- ber 11 to 17 this year. Because of the close connection between air raids and fire drills, this year's campaign against fire hazards will be excep- tionally important. In the past week Woodward has held a series of fire drills which proved to be very successful. The students are asked to be as quiet as possible during the drills, to quickly vacate the building, go down the stairs speedily but carefully, doors and windows are to be closed, stu- dents are to leave their belongings in the class and move to the edge of the sidewalk in order to make room for succeeding classes. An inspector will be here to time the fire drills sometime next week. Posters for Fire Prevention Week were made by Miss June Anderson's junior and senior art classes. Two or more posters were asked from each high school teacher by Miss Eliza- beth Gilmarten, head of the art de- partment of Toledo schools, to be en- tered in a contest. As before plaques, ribbons and prizes will be awarded for national, state and city winners.

INTRODUCING IRENE Loo Among the freshmen who entered Woodward last month, there was one student who at first seemed out of place because she was a novelty to our high school. She brought forth many well-wells and ohs the first week. The person who caused these dis- ruptions was Irene Loo, a Chinese girl, who is rapidly becoming one of our finest freshmen pupils. Irene is a black-haired, timid, girl who formerly attended LaGrange School. Born in Toledo on September 28, she spent her 15th birthday here last Monday. Irene takes to Algebra as her favorite subject. Woodward, which she states she likes very well, will not keep Irene very long for she hopes to attend Harriet Whitney High School. She wishes to train for a secretarial position, which has been her lifelong ambition. Her parents were born in Canton, China, and have raised the entire family of eight in Toledo. She ad- mits she has loads of fun with all of them. Woodward finds herself lucky to entertain Irene in her only year here, and everyone wishes her a happiest and beneficial stay. Conrad Korecki, freshman, wants everyone to call him 'Connie.' He thinks the name Conrad to be too for- mal and stilted for'his eifervescent personality.

PUPILS CELEBRATE AT VICTORY RALLY Preceding Parade Limited Because Of Rainy Weather Loud applause and cheering rang from every part of the boys' gym as the student body gathered Monday to celebrate a victory over Waite. If Monday's weather had only been as pleasant as Tuesday's, the parade which preceded the rally would have been more enjoyable. Enthusiastic Jimmy Tarsha could hardly be calmed down after he had started the students in the various school yells. Students marching to the music of the band carried a large banner bearing We did it before, and we can do it again. It seems that R. K. Sheline's first hour class jumps at every opportunity, for the above named sign was made for the magazine campaign originally. They were also lucky last Friday when E. L. Bowsher just happened to pop into the building. Therefore, it was a very impromptu speech he gave. After a few cheers, Lois Schoon- maker, chairman of the rally, intro- duced Coach Vorderburg. Good sport that he is, he spoke despite a throat irritation. Then, in a stirring ceremony, Kathryn Rudolph, Harold Mondville and George Skad presented a sup- posed piece of Waite's goal post to Charles C. LaRue. It was then that he spoke, and almost brought down the school when he stated that a fund for a stadium would be started from the excess money of the maga- zine campaign. fWe think you've got something there, Papa. J After the school song, calls for Varwig and Al rang out. We're sure- glad Pogie can carry a ball faster than he can think up a speech. But, while these two lads suffered from mike fright, Douglas Stark- kept popping up to take pictures for the Saga. In case you wondered why Marie Ersig and R. K. Sheline were sit- ing in front, it wasn't to get a good view, but because they helped plan the affair with R. K.'s brilliant physics students. While the girls all kept their eyes on the injured football player, Ray, the rally was concluded with God Bless America and the Star Spangled Banner led by Iver Peterson and his trumpet. ! YOUR STUDENT COUNCIL wishes to call the attention of students and teachers to the .sale of War Stamps on Mon- day, Tuesday and Friday morn- ings in the ticket booth outside the office door. This is an easy way to buy yours. Don't forget 1 your money for next Monday. . The Tattler staff on behalf of the faculty and student body 'of Woodward wish to express their sympathy to Janet Grunst, sophomore, and June Baidell, senior, on the death of their fathers. + Get Picture Appointments By Saturday, October 10, all senior picture appointments must be made before school, after school, and dur- ing seventh hourg the girls with Katherine Rudolph and the boys with ,George Skaff. SIX OFFICERS OF VICTORY CORPS ELECTED BY ENTIRE STUDENT BODY 34 Pre-flight Training Course Taken By Twenty-two Boys Mrs. Eula Upp Mrs. Eula Upp is teaching a pre- fiight training course in aeronautics second hour Monday in Woodward. Receiving a degree at the Univer- sity of Michigan and taking a course at Toledo University on Saturdays, have well prepared her for her class. Different kinds of aircrafts, the power plants, motors, civil air regulations, meteorology and aerodynamics will be the principal topics. The requirements for entry include: being a senior, taking physics, having second hour free, on Monday, taking advanced algebra. Twenty-two boys have voluntarily entered the class with the understand- ing of receiving no credit. They are Paul Stobynski, Norman Dageforde, George Skaff, Arthur Katz, Leslie An- derson, Edward Sloan, Irvin Wisniew- ski, Gerald Baldwin, Bill Bodeman, Leonard Gerow, Harold Mondville, Curtiss Ransome, Harold Ressler, David Garwacki, Mervyn Ely, Bernard Renard, Dick Foran, Douglas Stark, Dale Bolton, Clifford Plageman, Iver Peterson and John Reneger. Radio Production Classes To Present Two Programs The special afternoon class of radio production at Warren school under the direction of Miss Dorothy Kellogg, will present during this coming week a program over WTOL entitled, School of the Air. Toledo's Friendly Station has cleared network obligations so that the class may have, straight across the board, fifteen minutes a day, be- ginning at 10:50 a. m. The students will broadcast news concerning the efforts of the other high schools in the city in aiding and promoting the war effort. The morning class will present Facts and Fairy Tales each Friday over the same network at 9:30 a. m. for the elementary schools. Beginning this morning, the class presented Dairymaid's Adventures from Tales Worth Telling, by Charles Finger. During the year the class is planning to present Silas Marner, by George Eliot. Lcader's Club Election Held The newly formed Leaders' Club, which supplements the Girls' Athletic League, held election of officers. The results are: Kitty Brubaker, presi- dent, Hope McDarr, vice-president, Doris Boos, secretaryg Angela Smith, treasurer, and Joan McLean, reporter. Meetings are held every Thursday, at which the girls play games. They intend to sponsor a social event. Sheline, Lords, Robie Voted Advisers Of Newly Formed Club The officers of the Victory Corps are merely puppets whose strings are manipulated by the cooperation of the student body. Without this co- operation, success will not be pos- sible, stated Ed Sloan, newly elected president of the Woodward chapter. This is also the opinion of the fol- lowing newly elected officers: Don Weber, vice president: Lois Ann Frankowski, secretary, and Walter Bonkowski, Vernon Baer, and Richard Joseph of the executive committee. Raymond Sheline, was selected head adviser with Leo Robie and Floyd Lords assisting. When inter- viewed, Mr. Sheline said, I haven't the first idea of what is wanted, Kas is the case with everyone elsej but if it's anything like a magazine cam- paign, everyone will have to Work. I don't think a better cabinet could have been selected and my aids are tops. Everyone voted for nominees last Wednesday, October 7, 1'irst hour. The votes were tabulated by Miss Louise Tippett's American history classes. Students who wish to join the Vic- tory Corps will be asked to obtain their parents permission. This consent is made necessary by the Toledo Defense Council and is not the work of the student club. The organization will participate in activities assigned them by the Na- tional Victory Corps headed by Cap- tain Eddie Rickenbacher. Dramatic Club Has Meeting Twenty-nine students attended the dramatics class meeting last week Thursday to discuss the program of the year. The next meeting is sched- uled for Thursday at three. Last year the dramatics class presented two plays: Dickens' Christmas Carol and a mystery, The Eyes of Tlalic. It IS ho-ped that Kenneth Zimmer- man, playing the lead in the Christ- mas play, will come home in time for the presentation of the Christmas Carol which will again be presented this year. Kenneth is attending a dramatic school in Denver, Colorado, at present, where he won a four-year schoclarship for his fine work at Wood- war . Book Collection Made The first collection from the high school Book League amounted to S49.20. The books offered this month were: Moonstone, Bobbie, General Managerg The General Died At Dawn: Take It Easy and Pygmalion. A free book is offered to any stu- dent Who buys four successive books beginning this month. Miss Dorothea Bishop had charge of the league this month, but in the future: Miss Betty Nelson will super- VISQ 1 . , Teachers Offered Course: The University of Toledo is offering a pre flight aeronautics course to any teacher wishing to take it. The classes are held on Saturday from 10:00 A.M to 12:00 M. The teacher will receive two hours of credit for this unit of instruction. There is a possibility of this course being taught at Woodward. Mrs.Eula U pp was the only teacher that .represented Woodward at the first session which was held last Saturday.

You Can Help Win The War Here OODWARD is in the war effort, hook, line, and sinker. But all the kids are not doing their part. Slackers in classes, home work skippers, and class cutters, are all helping the Axis. Pupils need all the education they can get. Many boys think going into the Navy at 17 helps their country. Perhaps, but those who are patient, who stay at home, those who stiffle their urge to fight for their country for a few years, are better equipped to aid the U. S. A. when their time comes. We cannot win the war or the peace with ignorant people. But we will win the war and the peace. Our kids are doing their part. . Here's Chance To Join A Club BOUT this time every year a pupil has set- tled down to school life and begins to look around for a bit more activity. In past years, clubs were busy getting organized and pledging new members. This year the mightiest and finest organization Woodward has ever seen is beginning to set up its plans for the new year. Everyone in Woodward will be pled ged to join, no matter of grades or position. Boys and girls alike will be taken in with no dues to hamper joining. This school-wide club is to be called the Vic- tory Corps. You know its aims and you are familiar with the works it is going to perform. You are a member. The person on either side of you is a member. The officers which you have elect- ed are going to ask your support in the near future. Be a good club member and help as you would in any organization. Let's Repeat That Last Minute Drive! O YOU FEEL that you have done your part in the magazine campaign? Or do you feel you could have done much better if you tried. With one more day of the campaign left you still have a chance to help by getting busy over the week-end, seeing how many subscriptions you can sell. One subscription from everyone is not asking too much. Many students have sold more than this. It is a matter of loyalty for everyone to do his part. Don't be a slacker. Let's all get busy over the week-end and bring in a really big contribution Monday. Tl.. ... Who Said So?

I h o pe that every boy and girl has in the month just passed settled down to their rou- tine of school work with the serious in- tention of giving their very best to their study. This year and in the succeeding years, as never before, we heed the absolute determination of every single student to work hard, play hard, and in every way possible prepare them- selves to take their places in a world at war. It is not the intention t i frighten or to horrify you with gloomy prospects of your future. The good, solid hard-headed American stock from which you spring will in a measure safeguard you. However, you cannot rely on that alone. Just as your ancestors endured hardships and made sacri- fices in carving out this country, you too must work hard and sacrifice to aid in its preservation. Your government through the Oflice of the Com- missioner of Education is suggesting many things which you may do to aid your country and your- selves. First of all you are not expected to drop any of the old time fundamentals from your courses. Rather you are to strenghten yourselves in Mathe- matics, English, Geography, etc., and supplement these with certain types oi' new subjects. Secondly, the boys as well as the girls are to stay in school just as long as they possibly can. There surely is no point in having the Army, Navy, Air Corps, or Marine Corps take over the education of a boy when he could receive the same funda- mentals in school. So in all our work this year it is cut out for us. We have always tried to prepare for the realities to life, but now these realities are stark and threat- ening. Let's face them courageously and confidently. If you do you will not fail yourself or your country. f - . f , sf- What To Do In Case Of A Fire-drill This information was given to us by the famous fireman Sandy You light 'em, I'll fight 'emu McBag Mr. McBag states that the first thing to do is to is a math class, keep very quiet and hope no one notices it. If it is the gym class, yell loudly and stamp your feet. You then rush into the girls gym to save the girls. It doesn't matter if the fire is in the girls, gym or not. If you have to put out some- thingl suggest Mr. Draves. You are then faced with adifiicult situation. You can save only one thing. What shall it be? Your geometry book or your history book. You are a Woodward student so you grab your lunch and rush outside. By this time most of the building is burned, and with a happy sigh, you sit down and roast marsh- mellows in the ashes of the science class where you flunked last semester.

She was singing sweetly to the strains of Alvino Rey's electric guitar swinging, Knock me a Kiss, when quicker than a Hash she leaned down about so ----- - far away from him, and said, Come on an knock mea kiss.

What was there worth living for? All the pleasures and simple entertainments he had previ- ously enjoyed had now been torn from his life The very thing that had brightened his whole existence had been whisked beyond his grasp. The letter, how, he thought, could one tiny scrap of paper like that change the course of a man's life in a matter of moments. How crule fate had been to him, crushing one of the most stalwart pillars that his life had been built upon. Fate never even tried to give a substitute. Not that a substitute would have been satisfactory, but at least it would have shown that whether he lived or died mattered to her. But here in cold, callous words, that would be etched on his mind till the end of time, was the cold, uncomforting verdict. He raised the paper into his range of sight and once again read it slowly to make sure there was no mistake. In words of iiame, it read, Under the existing condions we must consider your applica- tion to Esquire Magazine canceled.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER 7: Que jIt......-- ,Y ,771 lffigf5n1u OUIFEISG FIRDUN -2.1 21 All pre-game talk of an individual duel between Waite's Joe Horvath and Paul Varwig was blasted sky high by the amazing performance of the Bear halfback. Horvath was good, Varwig was gresat. X Pk The Man In the Stands says that Waite led in all statistics. They led in first downs, 1'1 to 7, and in yard- age gained, 256 to 196. The only thing the Waiters trailed in was the final score. 1 8 if Central's upset of DeVilbiss brought about a three-way tie for second place in the league between Woodward, Central and DeVilbiss. Waite and Scott bring up atheakreagr. The Woodward fans made almost as much of a wreck out of the Waite stadium as the Woodward line made out of the Waite backfield. The goal posts at the south end of the field fell easy prey to the Bear followers, and all other detachable material was soon confiscated. ,K ak Contrary to popular belief, the fast- est run of the night was not made by Varwig. It was made just after the final gun by Mrs. Jane Taylor, wife of the ex-Bear coach now in the army, in her haste to get to the telegraph ofiice to cable ller ihusaband. Tears were intermingled with cheers when the gun sounded last Fri- day. Several faculty members, includ- ing Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, Mrs. Marie Ersig and Mkrs.,kClyde Meek. Miss Anne Wetterman, long time Woodward booster, and the follower of the Bears from Old Woodward to the present day had the misfortune to miss Friday's triumph. This in- deed was a cruel blow for one who watched the Bears for so long in de- feat. However we feel sure that this is the last game she will miss this year. She's still one of our top fan- nettes. ak ak if Jack Taylor, last year's coach, and now serving in the armed forces, showed clearly in pre-season discus- sion that this was to be the year. It was his earnest wish to remain here for at least the first two games. How- ever, Uncle Sam wouldn't wait. Military Tactics Introduced The emphasis on physical education being placed on scholastic activities was brought home to Woodward gym classes this week when Homer Han- ahm and Art Smith introduced mili- tary stances and formation to all boys. Direction on proper stance, and also calisthenics was introduced by the gym instructors. The toughening up processes will be increased as the year progresses. The plan is ex- pected to harden the boys for future possible military training. The captains have all been chosen for the various squads, and will as- sume the responsibilities for their teams. Most of the classes now meet three Dood It 'CBEARS STAMPEDE WAITE INDIANS X WITH ONLY TOUCHDOWN OF GAME PAUL VARWIG RUNS 62 YARDS TO SHATTER RECORD OF PAST 8 YEARS3 CAPTAIN SHINES It was climactic and a thing of unbelievable delirium that here, approxi- mately 8:15, in our little town, eleven figures walked, passed, punted, ran and would not rest till the Waite Indians were beaten down. l . Thus might be characterized the story of the. most stunning upset in Toledo football history. The story of how an untried almostlminute Wood- ward team playing like men possessed for forty-eight hectic minutes emerged with a six to nothing victory over a Waite team which outweighed them practically man for man. For three gruelling quarters of knock-'em down, drag 'em out mayhem, which produced every type of football from Rockne to Shaughnessy, and from Mollenkoff to Vorderburg, the teams battled on even terms.. But when the smoke of battle had cleared away, it was our Elmer and his amazing charges who had done what no Woodward coach and no Woodward team had been able to do for eight long years. n The Bears started the game making good use of Paul Varw1g's pen- dulum-like toe to set the Indians back on their heels. The Bears did not seem to be particularly interested in carrying the ball, and the first quarter was Horvah's passes against Varwig's punts. Woodward Threatens Then in the second stanza Ustazewski intercepted a pass and Woodward launched its first real drive. n With Varwig and Santus slashing the Waite fianks, and captain Ustazew- ski ripping holes in the center, the Blue and Whiteumoved to Wa1tQ'S three- yard line. However, a fumble was recovered by Smith and Waite kicked out of danger. Then with about four minutes remaining in the first half the East Siderse began to move through the air. With Horvath sparking, they drove within five yards of the promised land, and things looked dark. It was then that the Bears staged one of the greatest goal line stands that the season will produce. With time running out the Indians hurled all of their offensive power into an inch-by-inch advance. But the Bears held, and on the fourth down Joe Horvath's pass into the end zone was incomplete as the half ended on the one-foot line. i . The third quarter found the Indian aerial attack once more driving deep into Bear territory. But once again with their backs to the wall the Bears held. Al Ustazewski intercepted a pass, and moved the ball out of danger. Last Five Minutes Give Win The action then became concentrated between the thirty-yard lines for the rest of the third and part of the fourth quarters. Then with only five minutes left in the ball game, the Bears launched the plan that was to later become one of the most important touchdowns ever scored by a Woodward team. A short punt exchange gave Woodward the ball on its own 38-yard line. Then Varwig, who had been running the ends all night, started out on an- other wide sweep. Seemingly trapped behind the scrimmage line, he wriggled free and shot into the Waite secondary. With two Indian tacklers in front of him, it looked hopeless. But they reckoned without the speed of the dark- haired halfback, and with two would-be tacklers trailing in his wake, he weaved beautifully and crossed the goal line for the game's only score. The point was missed. Six nothing, Woodward. Waite Thwarted The amazed Waite team then began an infuriated, but steady, march down the field. With Horvath filling the air with sharp accurate passes, they moved to the Bear ten-yard line. But there, with time running out, Mel Gust intercepted a desperate Horvath pass and the gun sounded ending one of the greatest games ever seen in the East Side stadium. The Bears won, not on a fiuke, but because they played hard, clean foot- ball the way it was made to be played. Every regular, every sub played his heart out, and the best team won. It couldn't have been any other way. Score by periods: Waite .,.......,............... .... ----- 0 0 0 0- 0 Woodward .......... . ............ ----- 0 0 0 6- 6 Touchdown, Varwig. Marv. Bucher Proves Star In Role Of Cook, Footballer On entering the boys' home eco- nomics class in quest of a Marvin Bucher interview, Miss Angela IADHIT pointed a boy busily at work in the middle of the room. But was that Marvin Bucher? Was that the tough, 160-pound, end on a team that just defeated Waite high 6 to 0? Sleeves rolled up way past the elbow, a towel doing the work of a apron and a face splashed with a brew he tried to convince everyone was applesauce. But after close in- spection, Bucher was really the little times a week and the first activity is i home builder busily making apple- pass and tap football. lsauce, Like the rest of the football squad, he has nothing to say, except that he likes Miss Abair as a teacher, home economics as a favorite study, and cute Betty Timmons among other things. About occupying a position on the football team, he considers it a great honor, and now that Wood- ward has tripped Waite, even more than ever. As to his description he has blue eyes, blond hair, a person- ality, and a handsome face. Since he .is not married, engaged, or even going steady, this reporter warns all girls interested, to get on the ball for it is not very often you can marry a man who can make such delicious applesauce. 6-O DEFIANCE IS SCENE OF GAME TONIGHT Polar Bears, Fully Primed After Waite Victory To Take On Defiance Eleven Woodward's hard fighting team Will travel to Defiance tonight to be en- tertained by a strong Defiance high eleven. The Bears will attempt to further their two-game winning streak. On previous occasions, Woodward had whipped Adrian, 19-0, and beaten Waite's Indians, 6-0. This latter win brought the Bears to a second-place tie in the city league. Santus, Var- wig, Sloan and Ustazewski will un- doubtedly occupy backfield positions when the starting gun is sounded. The line will be the same that wrought havoc with Waite. Bucher and Knierim, endsg Piasecki and Paradyze, tacklesg Puls and Norman, guards, and Wisniewski at center. The Bear defense will concentrate on stopping Gene Derricotte, Defiance star, who almost single-handedly de- feated Napoleon in Defiance's last game. He is an accurate passer and a sharp runner. Defiance, a Northwest Ohio League team, has a yet perfect record, win- ning two games in as many starts. Paulding and the strong Napoleon eleven were the losing squads trampled by the Defiance team. Besides the team and coach, L. C. Clark, A. J. Brown, J. Dence and Walter Bonkowski, Tattler reporter, will make the trip by truck. 51 Girls Enrolled In ClaSSes Of Riding, Swimming, Bowling Six girls signed up for riding, five for swimming and 40 for bowling at a meeting on Tuesday during the B schedule. The riding class includes Ruth Damraur, Thelma Diamond, Eleanore Sniegocki, D o rothy Lewandowski, Helen Manz and June Wymer. Ruth Sanders, Betty Brock, Margaret Boltzenhart, Florence Bowman and Dorothy Wolsiffer will take swim- ming.

His hair is combed in a sunburst effect that can't be copied. Bob's crowning glory bristles out in all directions in a truly amazing way . . . or maybe it's just his butch haircut growing opt. at There was a call sent over the loud speaker during the mass meet- ing last Monday for Bob Marti to go home at once as an emergency re- quiring his attention had arisen. It turns out that Bob had to rush home to 'turn off the washing machine!

Student Applause Chooses Sylvan Essex Cheerleader Sylvan Essex, a freshman who hails from Sherman school, has re- placed Bob Durfey as a cheerleader. Sylvan, competing with Tom Osberger and Bob Mickelak, was chosen by the student body's applause during the Waite mass meeting. The boys practiced each night after school under the direction of Tom Narreneli, captain, and Mrs. Eula Upp, group adviser. Sylvan's brother Morris, an ex- Woodward cheerleader, has been grooming his little brother for two years, and is justly proud of the new cheerleader. At last Friday's game Sylvan had a group of Woodward grads cheering lustily throughout the contest. Among these were Bern Seymour, Jack Mc- Kenzie, Leon Konz, and brother Morris.

Strict Watch Kept By Student Hall Guard Patrol Considering that the hall-guard patrol is not yet fully organized, the student council is doing a good job in keeping the halls clear of roaming students during class time. About one hundred guards are necessary for all seven periods. A student council member checks the patrol every period. A strict hall-guard patrol is being developed this year. A meeting is being planned where- by each student on hall-guard duty will be given a sheet of instructions telling each what to do in various cases. Some of the aims of this organiza- tion are: to help the Woodward stu- dents keep the school 'clean and or- derlyg reduce thenumber of students using hall passes during class time and also see that every student is out of class on business only. They are hoping that every mem- ber of the school will do their utmost in cooperating with the hall guards. Miss Dorothea Bishop is the ad- visor of the student councilg Betty Osgood, president, and Don Weber, chairman of the guards. Mass Meeting Is Planned Although last week's mass meeting was planned on the spur of the mo- ment, no such thing will happen in the future. Miss Helen Marie Griffen's script writing class will present the mass meeting on October 16, the day the Woodward team meets, DeVilbiss. The Central rally will be led by Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's speech class- -on October 22, and the Zets will plan' the Scott meeting on November 6. Dolores Czarnecki is chairman of a Weiner roast to be given by the Polish Lits sometime in the near l future. I am certainly glad to be back in Woodward High School, stated Mrs- Marion Smith, American history teach' er. When asked whether she thgught Woodward had changed' duri1ig'her- absence she replied, Yes, I have no ticed a change in the attitude of Wood- ward students. They are more serious- minded, which, I think, is due to the war and the fact that we have every- day living classes. I find the students more dependable and cooperative. Mrs. Smith has lived with her hus- band, William F. Smith, in Bay Ridge which is a suburb of New York City. Mr. Smith is a senior lieutenant on the cargo supply and troop transport of the U.S.S. Ariel. This ship had formerly been a passenger ship but has now been converted into a navy vessel. From Bay Ridge Mrs. Smith has traveled through Norfolk, Virginia, Charleston, South Carolina, New Or- leans, Lousiana, and Galveston, Texas. f'In all my travels I have kept my eyes peeled for former Woodward stu- dents, remarked Mis. Smith. Finally in Charleston, South Carolina, she met Walter Kudlinski, a graduate of Wood- ward, which seemed to move her deep- ly. Mrs. Smith added that her husband also looks for Woodward boys who might be among the troops transported on his ship. Freshman Student Council Petitions Are Issued To 28 Of the 28 freshmen who were is- sued Student Council petitions during the last week, three will be chosen to represent their class.

Bitter during the second and third periods on Tuesday, October 6. The oscilator, timbre, resonance am- plification, and the effects of clearity and enunciation were given. Library Receives Additions Selected By Miss Sawtelle Because of the war, Woodward's library is of special importance to pupils to further their information about our allies and armed forces and to add to their pleasure since enter- tainment at home will be encouraged. This year Miss Stella Sawtelle, li- brarian, has chosen a number of new books to be added to our already full shelves. Included in her selection are books of fiction, biographies, mys- teries, books in civilian defense, avia- tion, history, chemistry, art, South America, China, Japan -and Australia.

Yes, we won a game because we fought with our whole heart and soul, against Waite October 2. For a period of eight years we were considered underdogs and all through that period lo al su port was rendered by every Woodwardite.yWe dijd win a game, yes, but will we win every game from now on? Our sincerest hope is that we do trample over all the teams. However don't lose confidence if a battle is lost. Continue your good work kidsg have confidence in your team, but don't be discouraged should a combat fail. Those boys are fighting with every thing they have in every battle. Initiation Rules Listed ITH THE INTRODUCTION of new members into the various organizations of Wood- ward, the question of initiating them again occurs. There are no specific rules against initiation, but two which are always observed in high schools are that no one may be forced to wear outlandish clothing orraiment of any sort and pranks of initiation may not be carried into the class room. Pigtails or modes of coiffure are not considerd as outlandish raiment, because it is a form of ar- ranging the hair, but painting of the face will not be accepted. Reasons for restrictions are that too rigid ini- tation brings about an appearance of something similiar to fraternity and sorority life---a thing which isn't wanted at Woodward. Let's Get Used To Winning ONIGHT we play DeVilbiss. We hope we again come out victorious. Let us accept vic- tories in as sportsmanlike a manner as de- feats. The destruction of property does not add to the glory of winning. Breaking Waite's goalpost was excusable. Pent up feelings accumulated during the past eight years of defeat were responsible for that mass ac- tion. Now we must become accustomed to winning, and leaving our opponents' stadium intact. Woodward students must take pride in the pro- per display of a winning spirit. I if l ITH Ht' nlmk l i- i . ----- I The Victory Corps has elected the pupils they thought could best lead them through their com- ing labors. A fine president and an excellent group of ad- visers and assistants were selected last week. Of them the members expect leadership and example. Of the members the leaders give the task of making the effort a success. The insurance against all failures is stamina, will, and a fighting heart. We know Woodward has all of these, it has been proven in previous drives and gamer. We have the implements to succeed and the way to do it. SO LET'S GO!!

I'll bet you didn't know that although she's kind of quiet about it, Abele Loehrke possesses a hid- en talent of art. Try, Try Again The two man crew raised the machine-gun at a forty-five degree angle pointing skyward. The two men scanned the sky anxiously to see if that messen- ger of death would again dive upon them. And here it comes at about four hundred miles an hour' all four guns ablazing! They cringed involuntarily. Then somehow they gained a grip on themselves, gripped the gun tightly. One sighted the gun while t e other looked on over his shoulder. Taking care- ful aim, he fired as the plane thundered down in a power-dive. He fired continuously, but bullet after bullet flew wide of the target. A stream of invec- tives streamed from his companion's mouth The plane pulled out of its dive and zoomed away. The man gripped the gun savagely and intended to pour a hot stream of lead at the invader. But the firing pin clicked on a series of empty cartridges. They both turned from gun, one saying to the other Put in another nickel and we'll get him this time. THE WCODWARD TATTLER BEARS TRAMPLED wie? at POI-ARS T0 MEET BY DEFIANCE, 38-0 Every Man Sees Action As Polars Drop Second Tilt Of Season Woodward's football team and fol- lowers returned from Defiance a very saddened group of people, because of the sound 38-0 thrashing handed the Bears by the powerful Defiance eleven. The Defiance squad outdid it's Toledo foe 310 yards to 35 by charging, and scored 14 'drst downs to the bears four. The first stanza was uneventful for both teams. A score came early in the second quarter after an interception deep in Woodwards territory. Defiance's third period score came in the same fashion after an interception. Darrel Seiple, De- fiance halfback, ran the ball 32 yards for the second score. After a bad Woodward punt to their own 46, Defiance pounded the line for 44 yards.Gene Derricotte, colored quar- ter back, then broke through tackle for the remaining two yards. Four touch- downs were gained in the final stanza, two by long end runs, one by a two yard off tackle plunge and the other when the Bears failed to cover a kick- off to the end zone. Every member of the Toledo squad participated in the game with the ex- ception of Joe Ustazewski who had a bad knee. Injuries forced Varwig and Paradyze out early in the.game. Neither was seriously hurt. Both will be on hand to start the DeVilbiss game. Starting line-up for Woodward was: Knierem, le, Paradyze, lt, Norman, lqg Callahan, cg Puls,rqgPiasecki,rtg Bucher, re, Sloan, qbg Varwig, lh, Santus, rh, Ustazewski, fb, Defiance 0 6 6 26 38 Touchdowns---Derriqotte 2, D.

Waite Indians Administer Beating To Polar Bear Cubs Woodward's reserve team journeyed across the river October 8, and suffered thei' s' cond successive loss of the sea- son to a heavier faster Waite outfit 27-0. The first Indian score came early in the game, when a Woodward pass was intercepted and converted into a score. From there on the East Siders had no trouble. The entire Cub squad saw action with no boy being outstanding. For Waite it was Atwood and Larhart, two fleet half- backs, who provided the scoring punch. Coach Welever' s starting line-up in- cluded Harrison, Haynes at endg Oedy, Biel, tackles, Komisarek, M u 1 l in i x, guards, and Vertlebeck, center.

DICK GOINS OF DeVILBISS, SANTUS, BEAR HALFBACK, GIVE COMMENTS Bill Santus Thatfive foot, eight 162 pound hunk of man and excellent halfback, Bill Santas blushed and laughed shyly when he was interviewed. Whatis more, that laugh was almost a giggle. Entering his fourth year of football at Woodward and his second year of varsity work marks the ful- fillment of an elementary school ambi- tion for Bill. These were his intentions as he learned the fundamentals of foot- ball on the sandlot. As usual, your reporter proceeded with one of our favorite questions, you know, the one about food. Bill simply replied, Chicken, Ummmmi' The next question which your re- porter popp ed was, what about girls? Bill then replied, I take them as they come? Your bright reporter then quipped, I bet they come running. As with most of the team who take home economics, the teacher and sub- ject which rates tops with him is Miss Angela Abair and her class. Just as he makes a good record on the playing field, so he does at the stove with can- ning utensils. To get back to football. Santus made one of the greatest showings of his ca- reer at the recent VVaite game when he reeled off yardage like a stockbroker reels off ticker-tape. BILL Dick Goins Soft spoken and mild mannered is about the best character description that can be given of Dick Goins, De- Vilbiss's gift to football. We pick this seventeen year old senior to fill the quarterback spot on the all- city squad. Dick not only plays quarter back but is captain of his team and also calls signals. He is fast and swivel- hipped, being about one of the shiftiest ball-carriers in the city. He isn't very big, weighing in at 148, but he's fast and plenty hard to stop. As a little testi- monial to his ability he informed us that he scored three touchdowns last week against Akron Goins started playing football in the eighth grade in a neighborhood midget league. He would have started sooner but he wasn't allowed to play because of his small size. He played freshman football for the Tigers, moved up to re- serves in his sophomore year and has played varsity ball for the last two years. He played second string on all- city squad last year. He opinioned that the game tonight is really going to be tough, stating that the victor will probably win by one touchdown. Win, lose, or draw, says Dick, we'll all be in there fighting. A simple statement, but coming from Dick, very impressive. For nothing makes him more amiable as his air of good sportsmanship which he wears better than most people wear a coat. I BATTLING TIGERS Vorderburg To Pit His Eleven Against DeVilbiss Team In Third Oity Try The Woodward Bears will be trying for their second city win this season when they play the DeVilbiss Tigers at Page stadium tonight. The Tigers are riding along on a 52-7 win over Akron and will be out there spoiling for trouble. The Bears were whitewashed last week-end by Defiance. This, however, gives no indication of the outcome of tonight's game for De- fiance is rated as having the best team it has had in the last decade. Coach Ollie Klee's boys have only been beaten once this season but that was a very impressive shellacking ad- ministered by Central to the tune of 20-0. The Bears have also been beaten once, in the city race. The Tiger and Bear lines shape up at approximately the same weight while DeVilbiss will have an edge of about ten pounds per man in the backfield. The Tigers have two very finely finish- ed players in Goins and Whitey Ehr- hardt. Those two boys will be pitted against Ustaszewski and Pogie Var- wig, who will carry coach Elmer Vor- derburg's scoring hopes. Summing up the situation, any lay- man can easily see that the teams are very evenly matched. Have pity on the two coaches because as seen from here they're going to have more worries and troubles then Carter has liver pills. The Tigers will start Covrett and Klute at the ends, Crowl and Warner at tackles, Perkins and Lantz at guards, and Kurtz at center. Goins, Clark, Pre- civel and Ehrhardt will make up the backfield. Knierim and Bucher at the end, Paradysz and Piasecki at tackles, Norman and Puls at guards and Wisnie- Irvski at center will be the Bear starting ine. Ustaszewski, Varwig, Santus and Sloan will make up the backfield. Kick- off time is 8:00 tonight. - No one appreciates or enjoys word from home so much as a soldier far from home.

Can You Identify This Man? 5 When informed that a cut fpicture to people who are not members of the Journalistic Trade---aheml was to be run of him, my interviewee was more concerned about whether or not it was going to look well, than he was about being interviewed---male vanity, you know. This handsome, intelligent looking young fellow whom you have seen roaming about Woodward is 26 years old. He is the Superintendent of Schools in Ridgeway, Ohio. I should say ofthe school because there is only one and there are only 150 kids in all twelve grades. My largest gradu- ating class was seven, stated the proud Principal. The Superintendent, hero of the fairer sex, teaches all the subjects of the high school, one of which is Latin which is compulsory. If you get through the Latin, chances are nine to one that you'll graduate--if you are lucky. Now to get back to the Superinten- dent. As a farm boy, his ambition was to become a lawyer. He like to study and carved out his future without the aid of his parents. His dreams of crossing the bar were never fulfilled, however. He was caught in a snare of hundreds of-pupils who would not let him leave. Conse- quently, he went on studying at Ohio Northern, University of Chicago, Co- lumbia, Toledo University---here your competent?? reporter lost oount. All this was about the year 1912. Do Can you identify this man? He disap- peared about 30 years ago. Any infor- mation will be gladly accepted in 122. you want to know what happened to him? He became the beloved Princi- pal of Woodward High School. That's right--C.C. LaRue. Do you know what? He is still studying. Incidently, he would never have made a good lawyer. He was meant for Woodward. CALL TO ARMS As a result of the YVOodward victory over Waite, many letters have been received from ex-VVoodward students and football players.

VAN VRANKEN Mrs. Isla Van Vranken's first hour business English class has elected officers for the purpose of helping supply current magazines and cur- rent fiction books for the U.S.O. cen- ters in Toledo. They will also fur- nish apples, popcorn, home-made candy and cookies for Saturdays. To- morrow they will supply cookies. Betty Lou Tucker was elected president, Ruth Bunge, vice president, and Sally Kale, secretary-treasurer. From this class four girls are over eighteen and are therefore able to act as hostesses. As a hostess she must obey all rules that govern the center. She is not allowed to smoke or drink while she is on duty and all service men are definitely off her date list. U.S.O. authorities investigate every young lady's character thoroughly before she is accepted. Anyone having up-to-date books or current magazines which they are willing to send for use at this center is asked to send them to room 253. What's Your Opinion After witnessing a few of the past mass meetings a question arose which has caused much controversy. The question is Is a mass meeting's purpose to afford primarily entertain- ment and secondly to promote team spirit, or vice versa, should the majority of the meeting be dedicated to injecting a spirit ofeminent victory, with a blend of entertainment to add variety? To the average student who attends the meetings the latter is looked for. That's what beat Waite, perhaps an- other dose will give us a second win. Let's attempt to make spirit the main- stay, and entertainment the fill-in with our future pep rallies. Let's have your opinion!

Bowsher and the principals of Toledo High Schools met at the Tloard of Education last week to dis- cuss the latest developments for or- ganization of the Victory Corps. Dur- ing the course of the meeting, the group listened to a closed broadcast 'rom Washington featuring Dr. Studebaker, Commissioner of Educa- tion. He said nothing specific con- cerning the organization. The discussion included the various kinds of work which the Victory Corps will be expected to do. The question of insignia on uniforms was settled. No uniforms will be used nor will there be any military drills. An arm band will be the only insignia used and will only cost a few cents. R. K. Sheline. when interviewed, wondered just how far Woodward people would go-just how much they would sacrifice if asked to par- ticipate in such things as harvesting, scrap metal campaign, and all sal- vage drives. Mr. Sheline considers the Victory Corps as a nucleus ready to work should necessity demand. He hopes everyone will cooperate. The consent of the parents must be given before the students can join. The principals were also told to listen to the weekly Victory Corps program over WTOL. Woodward heard the first one last Tuesday at 2:30 p. m. Advisers of the Victory Corps are: Mr. Sheline, Floyd Lords, Leo Robie, Miss Helen Marie Griffin, Mrs. Eula Upp and Miss Dorothy Warner.

Hold Roast The Polish Literary Society will hold a roast Saturday, October 24, at Ottawa Park. The designated time is 8:00 P. M. Dorothy Czarnecki is chair- man of this affair and Leo Robie is ad- viser of the club. It has been suggested by Miss Marian Larkin's sixth hour everyday living class that the noon movie be stopped when certain people become noisy. They think this would be a remedy. How about it, kids? C. E. Staneart Gives Reason As War Work C. E. STANEART The Alchemist Society was the first club of the school which has been disbanded for the duration of the war. C. E. Staneart, advisor, stated that this was necessary because many members are employed or interested in war work. The society originated at the old Woodward Vocational Building under the direction of E. L. Clark in the vear 1929. Its purpose is to have an intellectual and social development of' its members in social gatherings and lectures. These meetings took place twice a month. The club took interest in scientific developments through different factories to have a more thorough understanding of the science applied to modern civilization. A skate and a dance were usually the two main events of the year. The money obtained was put in the treas- ury for some charitable deed or other cause. At the close of each year, the club sponsored a picnic for a last get- together. At this, the seniors receiced gifts as a token of remembrance and good cheer. This year's officers would have been George Skaff, presidentg Alphonso Phillop, vice president: Ruth Scheid- ler, secretaryg Ann Korecki, treas- urer, and Vernon Baer, sergeant-at- arms. The S25 which was in the treasury was handed over to the Junior Red Cross, where it will be used to carry on some worthy cause. Your Student Council Wishes to announce that orders will be filled for War Bonds on Fri- day of each week if the orders are received by Wednesday. Please send orders to room 320. The sale of War Stamps of 50c and 31.00 denomina- tions will be sold in the booth across from the oHice. The Student Council will sponsor a hayride Saturday November 7.

Election Time Is Here OLITICS in high school? No, politics is for elders, but We do have elections here. Votes are cast on non-partisan ballots for non-parti- san candidates nominated by pupils of each class. Democratic principles are executed here in school when class elections are held. Pupils nominate and elect their own classmates to represent them on their respective cabinets. Holding an ofiice on one of these cabinets is not only a privilege but also has definite responsibilities. A person holding a po- sition must be dependable, trustworthy, and ener- getic. The success of the class depends upon the cabinet and its ability to maintain the cooperation of every classmate. Election time is here! Consider thoughtfully, when you vote, these three things Will this person work for the good ofthe class? Is he or she a de- pendable person? Is he or she capable of the job? Perhaps your friends are nominees, nevertheless, consider these thing. Don't vote for a person who craves only glory. Remember the pride of the class must be upheld. Woodward Gains Deserving Honors ITH the completion of the magazine cam- paign we have shown everyone that we Have what it takes to make a success of our endeavors. We were called upon to do a job and completed it beyond expectations. This is really a triumph because in breaking the national record for the second time we have attain- ed a record which has been stated as unbreakablef The confidence and enthusiasm with which we entered this campaign did not waver until we brought it to a victorious closing. Although it is not possible to have a celebra- tion, such as the one last year, we can still re- joice in our glory. Those who contributed to make this campaign such a success have a feeling of satisfaction, such as can only come out of knowing real accomplishment. Knowing our accomplish- ment was gloriously achieved is compensation in itself. , A Few Have Done Wrong ITH THE CLOSING of the magazine cam- paign again comes the problem of soothing the grieviances of the Urunner-ups, the kids who gave all they had but in the end having someone beat them to the top. Since time began and since Woodward was built. there has been the few who always carry a chip on their shoulder and threaten to go to cutthroat ex- tremes unless their poor pride is repaired. There have been charges and counter charges ofcollusion among teachers and students. Unlike the usual spirit of Woodward, which has been grin and bear it, in football as well as in many inter-scholastic campaigns, this year the record has been marred. How much finer it would have been to congratu- l te the winner than take a poor loser's attitude unknown at Woodward. Let's repair it! It isn't too late. PRINCIPAL POINTS' AST WEEK following the recommendation of President Roosevelt, the Congress of the United States passed a new Conscription Act calling for the drafting of young men eighteen and nineteen years old. While the move was not un- expected most of us thought it would not be done so quickly. It is an act that brings the reality of war closer to us as it will affect many of our boys in high school and practically all those who are in College. It is of course extremely regrettable that it is necessary to bring school boys into the condict. Mothers and fathers and the boys themselves are now wondering how and when the education of these boys will be completed. A present oomfort- ing thought is that none of these boys will he called to active service before the first ofJuly, 1943. But after that, education will become second- ary. General Hershey who is at the head of the conscription service says that there is no longer time to finish this or that task while the war goes on. All true Americans will agree with him. The important thing now above everything else is the winning ofthe War. If we lose in this struggle our education and everything we hold dear as citizens of a great Democracy will be of no value. Let's face this hard condition bravely and cheerfully. And you boys who soon will be called into service, in the time left you do not be sidetracked from your educational ambitions. The harder you study and the more you learn before you are called the better prepared you will be for service to your country. We are placing a grave responsibility on your shoul- ders. We know you will not fail us or yourselves. Our Prayer I will keep faith in the boys in service, Who fight for the red, white, and blue, I will sacrific- and work, and share, And each day I will say this prayer, God guide the boys in the service today, Who are nghting far, far away, Comfort them in pain, and sorrow, Let them live to see tomorrow, When battles done at end of day, Should they be too tired to pray, Dear God, let them rest quietly, And I will pray his prayer to Thee The above poem was sent to the Tattler oliice via the Tattler box. The author did not sign his name, however, and we would like to know who he is.Will he please bring his name to Room 122. N ick-Names Looking through the Tattler files, and boy what I didn't find!

' 'Pogie'f Rest In Peace I wish I was a little rock A-settin'on a hill, A-doing nothing all day long But just a-settin still, I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't drink, I wouldn't even washg I'd set and set a thousand years And rest myself, by gosh! ---Roscoe Gilmore Stott. History Repeats Where is the guy that once did say Give me liberty or give me death! And the maiden fair that one time said, Kiss me not, sir, there's booze on your breath! The famous guy that made this crack-- a whole speech in one long breath--works on s non union job and is slowly starving to death. But the maiden fair that was in despair at the thought of giggle-water, is dancing in some night club. Perhaps she's some parson's daughter. Cigar- ettes were once for wayward sonsg and sister enter- tained in the parlor, with mom' and dad between the two, while the beau sweated under the collar. But the fiivver age has changed all of this, and the youths are having their fling, doing the same terri- ble thing that you did--yes, mother and dad, every- thing. l Swap Shop I Although this is the fifth issue of the Tattler' this column has decided to undergo a serious change and be different --good jokes and stories---you know, LI can dream Canit I?Q at -1: if V, From the Lake Breeze Weekly we get a delectable bit for poetry lovers: What ever trouble Adam had, No man in days of yore Could say, when Adam told a joke, I've heard that one before. 3 FF i Something we can be thankful for: The Lindbloom Weekly thinks that they are lucky to have only TEN periods a day as compared with a Morton High School in Cicero, Illinois, which has twelve.

Why has Louis Bloom looked so down hearted since he found out a certain senior girl was going steady? What fireball did Kasee have at LaSalle's last Tuesday afternoon? What happened to the chorus? Why did Art Katz permit so many girls to take there senior pictures before he did? Did his curls have any connection?

THE WOODWARD TATTLER BEARS BEATEN IN HECTIC BATTLE SENIOR BOYS BEGIN STIFF DRILLS BY UPTON AVENUE ELEVEN, 6 TO 0 IN WAR MTOUGHENING UP PROGRAM m , an - -- - ic i.

P0131-S ff.-2-3: ,ng-,5,.,J,,, Pat Littlefield was hig bowler this Army Service Fighting tooth and nail all the way, the Woodward Bears lost a heart- breaker to the Tigers from DeVilbiss last Friday night. The only score of the game came in the first quarter. The Bears took the ball after the kick-off and rushed it to the DeVilbiss 32 where the Tigers took over on downs. With Goins and Hollar lugging the ball, DeVilbiss swept down the field. Hol- lar finally banged over the score. Art Simpson's kick was low, one of the few he has missed this year. From then on the game was strictly nip and tuck. The only effectual stands made all evening were when the Tigers stemmed the Bear onrush when pay dirt came in sight. The rain and muck definitely cut down the offensive power of both teams. The passing was inavoidably sloppy and too much ball handling resulted in fumbles. DeVilbiss felt it most in their favorite plays, the end run and double reverse. For DeVilbiss it was Goins and Hollar all the way. The Bear laurels are divided evenly among Ustaszew- ski, Varwig and Santus. The Bears inability to stop DeVilbiss' running attack in the first quarter spelled doom for them. The teams were evenly matched, the only difference in that the Tigers made the most of their scoring opportunity while the Bears missed all four of theirs. Oral Expression Class Plans Program For U. S. Navy Day To commemorate Navy Day, Octo- ber 27, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's sec- ond and third hour oral expression classes will present a program pay- ing tribute to the United States Navy. Participants of the program will be June Baidel, William Jacobs, Richard Joseph, Doris LaBequ, Grace Labuszinski and Tom Osberger, who will be introduced by Charles C. LaRue. The topics of discussion will be, The World's Largest Naval Train- ing Station, Physical Hardening Program at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Every Day is Washday in Uncle Sam's Navy, Best Fed Army in the World, The Blue Jacket's Budget and School Davs in the Navy. The Woodward orchestra will con- clude the program by playing the Star Spangled Banner' and An- chors Aweighf' Although there will be no audience watching the performance, it will be heard in all first hour classes Tues- day. Navy Day was inaugurated by President Warren G. Harding on October 27, 1922. Pupils Urged To Use Library Students of Woodward should step into their school library and see the interesting display of new books. Most of the books and also pamphlets are about the war. There are books on China, Russia, Japan, Islands of the South Seas, and Greenland. Other books are about the Army, the Navy, Coast Guard, civilian de- fense, and flying. The library now has a new sixteen- inch globe. It was bought with the money brought infrom book fines. There- fore, students who paid book fines helped pay for the globe. The purpose of this globe is to give the students a better idea about the position of the world which they would not get by viewing a fiat map. ,OULIH G FIIUJUND Knoxville's 34-0 win over Waite was the most decisive in the history of the intersectional rivalry of the two schools. It also marks the decline of great Waite teams in the past few years. With Scott in a similar posi- tion it remains for the younger Toledo schools to provide the gridiron thrills. lk 'F ll With upsets prevalent throughout the country it is difficult to pick the winners in tonights battles. Since up- sets and miracles are two different things Libbey should take Jackson by two touchdowns. I. 1 Waite and DeVilbiss will be a close one with the team that gets the breaks winning. Neither showed much last week, but Waite is about due for a re- bound. A flip of the coin says: DeVilbiss. o s s - Massilon's 33-13 victory over Steuben ville marked the 48th straight win for the vaunted Tigers. Paul Brown who started the Bengals on their winning way is now doing phenominal things with Ohio State. e l F U Only two penalties, one against each team, were called in the DeVilbiss. Woodward game. This is indeed a rare occurance and is a tribute to the sportsmanship of the teams. It high- lighted a rather dull game. lk 'K if Watson lDocl Welever's title as Woodward's Sharpiel' is in grave dan- ger. His challenger is none other than Wilbur qDocl Miller, who also fills out a zoot soot nicely. As the battle waxes hotter, both boys are expected to come up with new, and more hideous sport coats, so all students with sensitive eyes are advised to wear d a r k glasses. Watch this column for further results. Our eyes are not sensitive. Students Attention Called To U. S. Navy Day, Oct. 27 Next Tuesday, October 27, will be Navy Day. But this year, there will be no open house at Naval Bases or training stations. Instead, the celebra- tion will be more constructive. Flags will fly, navy bands will play, and people will visit their Navy Recruiting Office and learn how our mighty war armada is staffing its ships. Mrs. William Hamilton ofNew York City, proposed her plan for a Navy Day Celebration shortly after the close of the World War. This is the most important Navy Day in our history! Get acquainted with your navy on October 27. Saga Breaks Record In First Days Of Current Campaign Raymond Sheline, adviser of the 1943 Saga-Tattler, announced the staff's plans and its present cam- paign at a double assembly held Monday, October 19. He stated that memories of the work done during the Second World War will be preserved in the annual. Students who represented their home room in the magazine drive were asked to do the same for the Saga campaign. Representatives were asked to secure equipment and turn in sales to room 126. The highest salesman or saleslady of each class, freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior will receive a free Saga. By next Wednesday 1000 Sagas are expected to be sold. A record was broken on the first day when 200 Sagas Were sold, beating last year's mark of 125. Lois Schoonmaker is editor. week with 158. Jeannette Hennessey followed with 129. 123 was Vivian Shep- ard's average, while Milly Bogdanski closely followed with 115. Judy Justin bowled 113, Delores Czarnecki, 111, and Eleanor Sniegocki, 110.

I suddenly became aware of a blue sweater with a white W on it, and, in another glance, I noticed the wearer of the Turner garb was tall, slim waisted, broad shouldered, and possessed wispy blond hair. Breathlessly, I inquired the name of this letter man. Kaczmarek, he replied. Louis Kaczmarek. I occupy the position of guard on the rugby squad. Rugby? I asked. ul believe the lowbrows refer to it as football, said the great man carelessly. With due respect I then began to probe into Louie's past, and unearthed the following data: He is the only senior guard on the team, and is, beyond doubt, one of the hardest workers ever to wear the Blue and White. His first year in high school was spent at Central. What induced him to come to Wood- ward we do not know, but we are duly thankful. Louie spent the sum- mer at Camp Big Silver where he taught camp lore. There is no one on the team who takes his football more seriously than does Louie, and for that reason he is well liked by team and fans. Being a combination of brains and brawn, the girls naturally fiock about him in droves. However, he seems to prefer Gerry Putry. As I took leave of my new found friend, we heard him gravely dis- cussing the Shakespeare, Bacon con- troversy. And you may rest as- sured that if anyone ever finds the secret of the missing link-it will be Louie. Spanish Initiations Held : La Junta Gastellanaf' the Spanish club of Woodward, initiated its new members by festive candle-light last Tuesday, October 20, in room 118. Don Weber is president of the group. The German club, Freie Bahn. held its initiation on October 13, also in room 118. Miss Annie Wetterman is adviser of both clubs. Under the direction of Wilbur C. Miller the senior boys' gym classes have now finished eight or half of their proposed skill tests. On passing a series of tests the boys are pro- moted, starting with a buck private on through the highest position that can be acquired, a general. Base running, football punt, long throw for accuracy, race, 100-yard dash, mile Walk, 440-yard run, and the 60-yard ,hurdle run have already been finished by the advanced gym classes. The classification of the boys Start with buck private and upon passing certain qualifications the boys are promoted to corporal, sergeant, lieu- tenant, captain, and finally the goal of the destination, general. The standard set on the tests past are as follows: Base running, 10.1 sec- onds: football punt, 94 feetg long throw for accuracy, 63 feet 8 inchesg potato race, 2 potatoes picked up and brought back to starting line 34 and 42 feet from starting line, 100-yard dash, 12.6 secondsg mile walk, 11'.3 minutesg 490-yard win, 1 minute 9 seconds: 60-yard hurdle, 8 seconds. These new tests and ranks have been added to this year's gym pro- gram because-of the emphasis being placed on physical education all over the nation. This is a pre-military course, and is designed to Utoughen up the boys for passable armv service. Thus far Mr. Miller is able to give a favorable report on the progress of the program, stating that he has en- countered Uwholehearted cooperation from all the seniors. The highest rank reached by any- one thus far is that of second lieu- tenant. The test will continue for the remainder of the year. Central Lightweights Whip Woodward in Mudfest, 20-0 Woodward's Bear Cubs lost their third straight game last night by bow- ing to a very much superior Central eleven 20-0. The Irish understudies outplayed the Bear Cubs from all angles of the game. Not much passing was done by either team because of unpleasant weather conditions. This victory was Central's fourth straight and also proved to be the fourth consecutive shut out. The main defect in the Woodward machine was the lack ofa good running attack, Woodward's main offensive is its aeri- al threat, but the constant downpour of rain prevented any gain in yardage through the air. Alert Mullinix, Al Veirtlebeck, and Tom Komisarek turned in the only out- standing performance for the loosing Bear Cubs. Key Containers Returned By 47 Rooms As Drive Ends Just 47 ofthe 81 key containers which were sent to each teacher during the campaign, September 17 to October 1, were returned to the office on Monday, October 19. Of the containers which were return- ed, approximately 50 per cent were at least one half filled. The boxes were sent to Woodward by Joseph Price, who is affiliated with the Central Ohio Paper Company.

Bitter, electrical, in- structor, would prove valuable to the government as an instructor at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, it was revealed by a letter from Captain Billick ofthe War Department, that he would be of more assistance to the War effort by staying right on at Woodward.

VOX POP Dear Editor, Last year when the high school forums were held, all students were asked to participate. This year the opportunity of expressing student opinion has been made accessible only to a few privileged groups. I realize of course that onlya few pupils take advantage of the offer when they do have the chance. Isn't it worth offering them the chance, however, even if only a minority acts? After all the minority may have something that really counts, and a different view on any situation is always welcome. I don't know who the teacher or teachers are who are in charge of Woodward's end of the program, but couldn't something be done about this? I don't know if students on a whole have actually been barred, but they certainly haven't been asked to partic- ipate. , Ushered At Game Helen Komisarek, Pat Littefield, Bessie Sares, Bonnie Hahn, Florence LaPlant, June Zillien, Angela Smith, Florence Burnard, Sarah Tzanakis, and Eva Bankey were the ten girls chosen by A.

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Marked by Silver Collection The membership drive of the twen- ty-fifth anniversary of the Junior Red Cross started Wednesday, October 27, and will continue until November 4. This year, in coniunction with the Silver Jubilee, silver contributions will constitute the membership re- quirements. In 1917 the children of Canada, Australia and the United States started a spontaneous movement in helping participants in the first World War. After peace had been de- clared it was decided that the work of the children should be continued and the war work was converted into the development of the social mind in children from kindergarten to high school. Thus the Junior Red Cross was formed and the outstanding Serv- ices of the organization in the past twenty-five years is to be highly commended. 1 ' Part of the money collected in the drive will be sent to Washington, where it will be put to use in the Na- tional Children's Fund. Included in this will be such services as shoes for the Russian youth and support of Chinese orphanages. A large share will be sent to England for her nur- series, which are homes for refugees of all the occupied territories. 'The other part of the contributions will be used in local work, since our Junior Red Cross strives to be self- supporting. Gift boxes, children's wards, scrap books, yarn donations and many other beneficial efforts make up Woodward's share. , .Saga representatives will be the link between home rooms and Mrs. Mary O'Brien's room, headquarters for the drive. Donors will receive the standard Red Cross buttons and mem- bership cards. Home rooms with a drive per capita will be the recipients of a sticker bearing the Red Cross emblem. Mrs. 0'Brien is Woodward's Junior Red Cross adviser: Verly Collins is president of the organization: Doro- thy Denham, secretary, and Laura Dyer, treasurer. Joyce Henley is city- wide treasurer. Your Student Council Welcomes suggestions that would fur ther our efficiency. Any memberof the faculty or student body who has any such suggestions or criticism will please put them in the Student Council box at room 320.

The annual membershipldrive started this week and will continue through November 17. Since this is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the group a silver collection is desired. Everyone knows what a good reputation this costructive group has- -what con- structive work they have done. Every year they send gifts to foreign countries, give relief of many kinds to the poor, and at this cataclysmic time they are very active in war work. They have knitted, sent reading material, supported the U. S. O. and done many other things for the welfare of the armed forces and the general good of humanity. It is our duty to support them. Give till it hurts! The Reason For Confining Girls ESTICTIONS were put on lunch periods, pandemonium broke. fhese restictions were neceasaryg but the disgrceful actions of our pupils are not! Consequently, something had to be done to terminate the riotous acts occurring in the halls. The 0 nly possible solution was to penalize the girls who were found guilty of over- stepping the bounds of decency by forbidding them to eat lunch in the cafeteria or hall and confining them in a room during the lunch period for the remainder of the semester. Why confine the girls? Why have such a system at all? Ho it can the close association of the boys and girls be prevented with the present lunch restrictions? These are the que-stious that are being raised among the students. Here is the explana- tion: time and again the teacher lunch patrol has warned the girls seen performing in an unlady-like manner, to maintain some modesty, Almost every instance their warnings would go unheeded. It is fully realized that the lunch condition makes it hard for the boys and girls not to mingle, but the girls are blamed as being behind the acts of rowdyism. To confine the accused girls is not the most desirable thing to be done, but it is the only solution until some of these girls learn to behave properly, and it will be enforced until their behavior is corrected. Valuable Asset Goes Unheeded ANY new books have been added to Wood' wards already choice selection of reading matter. But the pupils are not using this valuable asset. Many do not know the library exists. Every year clubs set aside money to purchase new books. Miss Stella Sawtelle spends much time and effort in choosing choice reading material. All this has not been heeded. If we want this library to grow we must get be- hind it. Our library is more acessible than the main or branch libraries. Good reference books make reports simpler. Let's do our part. Get ac- quainted with the library. Gym Classes Cause Disturbance HEN ENTERING the building the students who take gym make many various noises which are not necessary. These sounds dis- turb classes which are located near the gym. Just inmagine yourself in one of these classes trying to concentrate. Your mind would be distracted from studying by these shouts. So, gym students, have consideration for your classmates and teachers and try not to be so noisy.

By A Junior You know those fine examples ofa gargoyle being dashed around? Well those aren't comic books! They are pictures of our so-called upper classmen. I know, Iknow, I didn't believe them either. By dint of brawn not brain one of them convinced me that he was not a man from Mars. However he couldn't explain his green tinted skin. He was the only eighteen year old I have ever seen afflicted with hardening of the arteries. He had very pretty teeth. but they sort of protruded-the glass wasn't big enough. All seniors aren't human physical wreoksg some of them arenyt human. A lot of them have brainsg where nobody knows, but the're sup- pos to have. Some of the girls are pretty--awful, the boys are good-looking in a suit of armor. Anyway three-fourths' of the kids will like this feature story, and the seniors don't count anyway When the editor asked me for this column lwhich was to be handed in yesterday I said I was think- ing about it.

It is used extensively to aid your stomach ian upset onej and by many to ease the bore from classroom discussion. There are many ways of chewing it. Some munch it like a cow mun- ches her cud. They have the same expression as the contented cow in this pursuit, although unable to emulate the cow in regurgitation. Some tear into it as a hobo tears into a juicy steak, with only minutes to go.

Annual Merit Parade Again To Appear In Toledo Blade The Merit Parade, an annual feature in the Toledo Blade, has again sent out a call to all high schools to submit names for publication. Charles C. LaRue, principal ofWood- ward High School, has been asked to return the name of a senior class mem- ber. The Merit articles, which were begun only a few years ago, are devoted to crediting high school people for servi- ces rendered their respective schools. The name of the person selected will appear in the Blade sometime in the near future. l l Woodward and Central renewed their annual rivalry last Thursday, and the resulting game provided the Monday morning Quarterbacksn with enough material to last many a long winter evening. It will go into the books as a 7-0 Central victory. but it took eleven Central players, two officials and Ladv Luck to keep the Bears from scoring. The game opened in a manner which is rapidly becoming familiar to Woodward partisans. Shortly fol- lowing the kickoff the Irish launched a 58-yard sustained drive for the only scoring of the night. With Kronbach sweeping the ends and Malinowski punching holes in the center, the Big Red drove to the two- yard line. from which point Kron- hach wheeled over. Juhasz place- kicked the extra point. The Bears then took over and moved to the Central 30-yard line, where the drive stalled. Central then took to the air, and a tremendous fifty-five yard pass, lKronbach to Harmon. put the ball in Woodward territory, but here the at- tack bogged down. XVith time running out in the half, Varwig faded hack and tossed a long pass to Knierim, who was spilled on the Irish seventeen. Unable to gain on fourth down. Wisniewski attempt- ed a field goal, but the kick was low. In the third period the game see- sawed back and forth with both teams battling on even terms. The last quar- ter found Woodward going aerial in a desperate attempt to score. Varwig hit Santus with a long one, on the Central 35. Sloan then pulled down a Santus heave on the fifteen, and raced to the one-yard line, where he bumped into one of his blockers and fell over the Irish goal line. It was at this point that the offi- cials took an active hand in the pro- ceedings. They decided the forward motion was stopped on the one-foot line, and it was to that point that the JOE USTASZEWSKI, J. CALLAHAN, IRV WISNIEWSKI, THREE BEAR CENTERS, ARE REMARKABLE GRIDDERS Wisniewski Callahan I Ustazewski Football, basketball, baseball, track, bowling, English, trigonometry, ma- chine shop, physics, and history sounds like a lot, and it is a lot. These subjects' and sports are very ably handled by one of the centers on our football team, Irvin Wisniewski. Like many other Woodward ath- letes, Whiz, as he is referred to by the feminine students of this great school, spent his summer as counsel- lor at Camp Big Silver. It was there he became interested in women and under the influenced beauty of Zenia, Virgelene and Denice he returned to Woodward a changed man. But now he is himself again and insists he is interested in just one-his J-hop date. Whiz stands six foot three inches tall and tips a scale at 188 pounds of muscle. Because sports practice and his studies keep him busy, he is not too interested in the feminine sex, which he considers a nuisance. Irv has played stellar football this year and has made sure that no one gains consistently through the center of the line. He is, beyond doubt, one of the best all round athletes ever to play for Woodward. Indications that Woodward will have a banner team next year were given when John fPunchyJ Callahan revealed his innermost secrets. Punchy is, as everyone knows, Woodward's top-flight junior center, and is one of the boys who will form the nucleous of next year's squad: The popular pivot man stands five feet nine inches and totes 147 pounds on a supple, wiry frame. He began his pigskin career as a member of the freshman team two years ago. He didn't play reserve football, but was a member of the championship lightweight basketball quintet. In his spare time he has compiled an enormous scrapbook in which he keeps clippings of all the football teams. Toothless the lost two at Defiance! has some very definite opinions. For one thing, he believes that Woodward will whip both Fostoria and Scott. Mansfield he admits will be tough. He thinks that Bill Santus is the city's top back, and hopes to take his place next year. In case you weren't aware of it, Johnny is being groomed for a back- field berth next year. However, re- gardless of where he plays. you can be sure that he'll be fighting every minute. Although not wearing a zoot suit, Joe Ustaszewski is definitely a sharpv By no means could he ever be placed in the category of a round haircut or icky. Joe is the younger half of that hard hitting, bone crushing combina- tion, the Ustaszewski brothers. Joe has seen action in every tilt this season except the out-of-town frames. With a roguish leer on his face he commented, Bad knee, you know. In reply to the usual query about his weight, his answer was, According to the scale, 1543 accord- ing to Coach Vorderburg, 147. This remark was definitely on the solid side. Carefree, easy going and happy-go- lucky are the adjectives which give the best personal description of Joe. Questioned on his views on the femi- nine portion of the population, he answered: Still looking. Any sug- gestions? Joe is one of our most capable players. Whether the Ustaszewski hovs were born with an inner sense for football is debatable, but on the basis of present reports, neither brother is having trouble holding up his end. Starting football in his freshman days, Joe played under L. C. Clark, moved to the reserve squad in his sophomore year, and is now playing varsity ball. Our neighboring city of Fostoria will ring tonight when Woodward's Polar Bears invade Fostoria stadium to mix it up with the local eleven. Fostoria's stadium, with a seating capacity of 5,000, is expected to be nearly filled with eager fans hoping to see the local boys come through against the Toledo aggregation. However. it's better than even that the Bears won't let Fostoria win, just because they favor the good neighbor policy. Coach Vorderburcfs crew is 'nadfiened to the bone by two close decisions in the past two weeks, par- ticularly the Central affair, which puts our lads on a diet of raw meat. Regardless of the outcome, a hard- fought battle is a certainty. Fostoria has five lettermen. Bob Imber, Bob Currier, Mel Bennet, John Florea and Jackie Wolland. Woodward's lineup will boast: Bucher, Piasecki, Kacz- marek, Wisniewski, Santus, Sloan and Al Ustaszewski, all lettermen. The Woodward line will outweigh Fostoria. the home town boys aver- aging 161 pounds. The backfield will be approximately the same. Further comparison of the relative teams can be gleaned from the re- sults of both games with Defiance. The Bulldogs drubbed Woodward 33-0 and also beat Fostoria 28-13. Fostoria touchdowns were made by Jackie Woodland, piledriving full- back, and on a pass from rubber- armed Mel Bennet. These boys will carry plenty of offensive power, and will be aided by big Bob Imber. Fos- toria captain. He is a fast, sticky- fingered end who's specialty is pull- ing down Bennet's passes. The Fostoria squad will be handled by Coach D. W. flkej Turby, a foxy strategist with a thorough knowledge of football. He is a former star of Wittenburg University and schools his teams in the single wing-back formation. His team is a member of 'he Buckeye League. play reverted. Varwig then swung out wide, but failed to gain, and once .tgainthe referee's horn sounded. This time it was an undecided penalty. One official gave the holding sign, and the other said clipping. The two teams stood indecisiyely, not really sure that any penalty would be called. Finally fifteen yards were checked off against the Bears, and from the twenty-yard line a pass into the end zone was batted down. The game ended moments later.

Sli Pk FK Bob French devoted the greater part of his column last Friday to a discussion of the rule which robbed Woodward of a vital touchdown. DK PIC Y officials blew the play dead Sloan's knee touched. This, The where stated French, is a wrong interpre- tation of the rule which specifically that the plav shall be blown states dead when any part of the runner's body touches the ground . FK lk PF This means that when Sloan touched the ground he had officially scored. However, the game is history, and nothing can be done now. In the future we hope that the Athletic Association will provide us with FOOTBALL officials. Pictures which were taken for stu- dent identification cards will also be used in this years Saga annual. Stu- dents who wished to do so, had their pictures retaken on October 27 and 28 in room 326. 1 g CALL TO ARMS l Private Robert Lewis, a member of the U.S. Army Air Corps, is stationed at Atlantic City.

VOX POP Last week, there appeared in the Vox Pop column an indignant letter protesting the fact that only a few privileged groups were allowed to par- ticipate in the radio forum. Here we have an answer to that letter sent in by a reader. Dear Editor: The student body has been urged to participate in the student forum hour by submitting a given subject announed over our P.A. Every paper handed to the radio department is given careful consideration, and we thought it was understood that every student in our school has the privilege ofrepresenting WHS if his work warrants it. The only requirements are a reasonable degree of talent on the part of the contestant and a sense of justice. If your theme is rejected you are to accept the 'ecision of the judges without complaining. In the near future Woodward will be host to a well known leader in radio educa- tion. He is going to act as moderator on a radio forum which will be held in Woodward's auditorium November 19. Woodward's best students will appear on the program. We hope, that we shall have the pleasure of seeing you on the stage three weeks from Thursday. Sincerely, A Member of the Radio Class. nmzonuclnc Verly Collins r Upon being interviewed, Verly Col- lins, president of the Red Cross, an- nounced with determination that her lifelong ambition has been to become a teacher-preferably an English teacher. With this denuement she went on to say that she had an attachment for tailored clothes, chicken, blue fthe color, you knowj, Kay Kyser, knit- ting, playing the guitar and clarinet, and a boy who attends Bowling Green University. fVerly is wearing his pinll As a matter of fact, Verly revealed that upon her graduation she will pursue her education at the aforementioned institute of learning in the company of the owner of the in. p This blue-eyed blond attains state- liness through her five feet and also her extra six inches of height. Gradu- ating from Glann grade school, she ventured into Woodward three years ago fwhich makes her a seniorj and has since made a striking record for herself. She is majoring in English, science and home economics, and has achieved good grades in all her studies. Verly is all for the Red Cross and is of the opinion that everyone else in Woodward should be, too. This year a membership drive for the Red Cross is being sponsored again and Verly sincerely hopes to make this drive the most successful yet. After all, the Red Cross is really part of the war effort, she stated. It deserves all of Woodward's sup- port. Woodward's Lightweights Battle Scott to Deadlock VVoodward's Polar Bears rose to their greatest heights when they fought the Scott Lightweights to a scoreless tie last Thursday. The Bears outfought the Collingwood re- serves all the way. Twice they drove deep into Scott territory only to have the drives stall on Scott's four-yard line. End runs by Komisarek and line plunges by Jurski spear headed the Bear offense. Ligabell and Lutz, Bulldog backs, sparked what there was of the Scott attack. Both lines played excellent ball. Chief among the Bear linemen who performed above par was end Bob Harrison. Girls' Curfew Discussed Arguments for and against the 9:00 o'clock curfew for teen-aged girls were presented on the High School Forum on Mondav, October 26, over WTOL. The most objected feature of the cur- few proved to be the fact that it hurts all the innocent girls along with the the guilty ones. ' Theftopic to be discussed next week is Should Labor be Conscripted for Essential War Production. E. L. Bowsher Supervises Students' Working Survey In order that the public may know how high school students contribute toward the war effort, E. L. Bowsher asked that a survey be made as to how many students work after school and thettype of work done. Many jobs given to high school s udents relieve older men and women for other work. Anyone wishing a part time job see Miss Amie Miller or Clyde Meek for an appointment with the United States Employment Oflice. Already 35 stu- dents have applied for appointments. Due to war conditions there will not be a Shekle Shuflie this year. The senior prom will probably be the only impor- tant dance of the year.

Following orders of E. L. Bowsher, the math classes of Toledo high schools took over the huge task of processing the fuel oil rationing blanks in order to have the ration books ready before oil on hand is consumed. The total floor area of the building using oil, the number of persons inhabiting the building, the amount of oil used last year, and the amount of oil on hand, had to be included in the mathematical determination of the amount of oil the building will receive. In Woodward, groups of math students chosen for their mathematical ability and general good character worked under the direction of Mrs. Eula Upp and Mrs. Mary Crous-e until the blanks were completed. The pupils were divided into groups of 11, since it takes 11 different processes to do one blank, with one student working at one process all day. The project was placed on an assembly line basis. Pupils worked until all blanks were completed. The estimated number finished per day is 1100 blanks. The workers stationed in Mrs. Upp's room were: Lesley Anderson, Norman Dageforde, George Skaff, senior, Lois Bolbach, Harold Mondville, Al Philop, John Pulhug, Curtiss Ransome, Lucille Foley, Suzanne Loerke. Sidney Adams, Earl Brown, Donald Davis, Richard Emrick, Fred Laker, Marvin Lee, Ed Nicnerski, Max Wexler, Norbert Zakolski, Eleanor Jusek, Valeria Stasiak, John Payak, and George Scaff, junior. Mrs. Crouse's group included Joyce Bell, Mary Guman, Phyllis Piotrow- ski, Fern Shultz, Phyllis Wendel, Florence Zych, Henry Bartkowicz, Robert DuMonte, Ernest Klipfel, Robert Sheline, Patricia Janowiecki, Naomi Rohler, Dolores Wujciak, Jacqueline Wujciak, Charles Lentz, Neil Mallory, Frances Dyer, Norma Leneman,,Richard Alex, Virginia Ewanski, James Seed, Janet Ruppel, Eileen Trondle.

This year's campaign ex- ceeded last year's by 85 books. Ted Miller, senior, led the school in salesmanship selling 110 Sagas. Highest salesmen in the remaining classes are: Virginia Lukasik, junior, 433 Marvin Hascal, sophomore, 335 Elizabeth Douglas, freshman, 26. All of these high salesmen in each class earned a free Annual. Honorable mention was made to Elaine Shemas and Dan Foltynski, seniors, with 43 sales to their credit, Milton Mann, junior, with 27, June Ryan, sophomore, had 27, and Velma Bushey, freshman, 12. The 1943 publication promises to be an outstanding book with a number of new features. The individual pic- tures for every class will have names under them this year. This was one great disappointment in last year's annual. Captions under the senior pictures will carry out the theme of Indians. The sport section will be intro- duced by Woodward's cheerleaders. Emphasis will be placed on this year's football team. Ed Sloan has charge of this section. . Club pictures will be taken week after next. All clubs will have to pay for their cut out of individual treasuries because of the cancellation of the Shekel Shuffle. Your Student Council Asks the cooperation of all people who buy food in the auditorium at the noon movies. A new money sys- tem has been indorsed, whereby metal slugs are used for a unit of exchange. These slugs are purchased outside the doors. If this system is not successful, food may not be sold in the future. ....ii?... Tattlers To Be Supplied Repeated requests for Tattlers to send to former Woodwardites that are now in the armed forces are being received by the Tattler staff. We will be very happy to supply them if those request- ing the Tattlers will pay the postage. The folders that are sent in cost a cent and a half each. Because of the large amount of money we must pay to have some of our stories set up in adowntown print shop, we cannot assume this added expense.

Thanks Student Council! HE STUDENT COUNCIL should be duly rec- ognized for the noticeable accomplishment they have already made this year. At a fast pace, they have set out to make improvements, and may distinguish themselves as being the most ef- ficient council we have had in some time. Their most prominent endeavor is the hall pa- trol. Everyone can not help but notice the vacancy of the halls during classes. Miss Dorothy Bishop, adviser of the Student Council deserves honorable praise in her untiring efforts. Working under such an enthusiastic and diligent leadership, we can ex- pect many more improvements from this group. The Student Council has hastily gained the respect and cooperation of the entire school. They have made a splendid start and we wish them the best ofluck in the future. This worthy organization may call upon the whole hearted cooperation of the Tattler at any time. National Education Week Celebrated . OVEMBER 7 to 14 is a week dedicated to educationg not city or statewide but national. Education, which today is considered a' pri- mary factor in the life of every individual. ' Patriotism is stressed in every way. Help your country win the war! All out for the war effort and you hear many pupils say, What can I do to help win this war? You as a student can help your country most by attending school, and getting all you can out of your studies. Be regular in your at- tendance, be cooperative, and mostimportant of all, live up to all expectations. Yes, we are at war, and as citizens we want to help in every way. Here is one chance to do your share. Put your mind to it and work for the best. Let's Hear From You! . OU have been asked to voice your opinions through the Tattler in many instances. Yet you students have let this opportunity drop from your grasp time and again when it was ur- gently called upon. , In order to be afunctioning, opinionated paper, we must have conflicting opinions and helpful crit- icism complete with the way you think a thing should be handled. -Please take part in this important program of the Tattler which is trying to consistently con- struct a ,better student body and -future greater traditions at Woodward. Letis hear from you, teachers and students alike. What's your opinion? n fi ml e615 anon - .-le 1 ODAY, as this paper reaches your hands, the senior staff of the Tattler is in Columbus, Ohio, attending the State High School Press Associ- ation Convention. After considerable deliberation, the Ohio Princi- pals' Association decided this convention was of enough timely importance to Warrant its schedul- llflg. The convention is dedicated to the work of a newspaper in war time. The staff, upon returning, will turn its efforts and knowledge gained into making the student body, through the .pages of the Tattler, a more war conscious and education- ally minded group. PRINCIPAL POINTS, FTER the huge liner Normandie burned and rolled over at her dock in the Hudson River, New York, an investigation was held to deter- mine whether or not the disaster had been cuiased by sabotage. The District Attorney of New York in making his report on the case said a very sig- nificant thing. I quote him verbatim: There is no indication of sabotage, carelessness has served the enemy equally well. Would any of you students want to be called saboteurs? Certainly not. But remember you serve the enemy equally well when you are careless or wasteful. Take for instance the show off spirit of some of the boys who delight in speeding around corners, stopping quickly, starting quickly, and doing the hundred and one things that waste tires and gas- oline. They serve the enemy equally well. Every day after our lunch periods there is enough food gathered from the waste cotainers of our cafe- teria, auditorium, halls to sustain a dozen families of our starving Chinese allies for several days. Whole sandwiches with wrappers unbroken, apples, oranges, etc., are dumped into these waste cans. If you can't eat this food you should not bring it to school. Again by changing a 'word we may say Waste has served our enemies equally well. ' You boys and girls who are asking What can we do to help win the war may find some very defi- nite answers in these few lines. Don't look for the big things to do that are done with a lot of whoop and hurrah. Start with the little things. Learn to be careful! Learn to conserve everything you use.

Serenade In Blue When I hear that Serenade In Blue I'm somewhere in another world alone with you Sharing all the joys we used to know Many moons ago. Once again your voice comes back to me Just like the theme of some forgotten melody In the album of my memory Serenade In Blue It seems that only yesterday A small cafe, A crowded floor And as we danced the night away I hear you say forever more And then the song became a sigh Forever more became good-bye But you remained in my heart So, tell me darling, is there still a spark Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew Should I go on whistling in the dark Serenade In Blue Larry Everet Poor lil! Larry Everet never ever gets Larry Everet's name in the Tattler. So this reporter decided to do something about Larry Everet. Larry Everet is a junior and Larry Everet usually, like other juniors, just wanders around. Larry Everet is a wolf like most other boys are and nearly everything Larry Everet does is quite common. So me, I just didn't know how to get Larry Everet's name in the Tattler. So I sat down and thought about Larry Everet and over and over in my mind whirled Larry Everet, Larry Everet, and Larry Everet. Then a flash--Larry Everet was differentg Larry Everet had done something that no one else has ever done, but Larry Everet,---Yes, Larry Everet has had Larry Everet's name eighteen times in one issue of the Tattler.

Doughnuts, those em- blems of American culinary achievment, After all, what other pastry can you dunk and look through at the same time. Diligent research on Doughnuts have revealed these interesting facts. In the interior of Africa in the habitat of the giant Moona-Noona, Doughnuts are worn as rings by the giant native girls who hope to attract men. The only trouble with this is that you never know whether the light in a man's eyes is love or star- vation. It has also been brought out that in the land of Loona-Loona, doughnuts are as nose rings. Not on- ly does this lend an air of distinction, but with a little practice the wearer is able to frool powdered sugar. Doughnuts have several other uses. They can be used as houses horseshoes provided the horse dosen't object. They can also be used as periscopes. In this way the husband can read his wife's mail While eating. We salute you, oh doughnut Your praises we'll sing To you we play second fiddle But.will you tell me just one thing Exactly where is your middle. A Ghastly Tale Here we go 05 to a mythical Halloween masquer- ade party. Sure, we could have put this item in last weeks Tattler just in time for Halloween, but we didn't want our costume ideas swiped. We will use famous Woodwardites to illustrate our original costume. First we have Chuck LaFountaine hop in waving his arms madly, wearing loads and loads of foliage and shouting, I am a tree! Haha! A tree I am! Fol- lowing him are an odd assortment of dogs, mutts, and pooches. . Next we have Chuck Myneder bounce in dressed as the football that won the Woodward Waite game for old alma mater. There is a beautiful ex- presstion on the face of the pigskin. Following him are several morose individuals dressed in black representing our years of defeat. Doris LaBeau comes slinking in wearing a bolt of coth. It seems she just didn t have time to sew up the material into a costume. Cute, huh? Now we see Conrad Korecki gallop in dressed as-- gee whizl,---the hind end of a horse. He is blubber- ing, Where is my front end? Where, oh where is it? Boo hoo! I feel so cut off from everything! And look Who's here! Jack Kesling just walked in dressed up to represent the Phot Reflex camera that took pictures of our seniors. He is carrying a super-duper bottle of bromo-seltzer and looks very down in the mouth. Funny, weren't they? Huh? Oh, well anything for a feature story! THE WOODWARD T A'I'IL Ii R EARLY AMBITION OF COACH FULFILLED Welever Has Busy Scheduleg Fills Vacancy in Gym Left by Miller Watson Welever is quite a busy man these days, since he left 'his English classes to take over Physical Education department left vacant by Wilbur Miller, who is now in Uncle Sam's Navy. I In addition to heading this depart- ment, which includes hygiene, first aid, and the senior gym classes, Mr. Welever is instructor of the intra- mural teams, track, and cross country. freshmen basketball, adviser of the Student Council and co-adviser of the sophomore class. Prominent in the faculty, Mr. Wel- ever was born in Toledo, attended Scott high school in 1927, and was captain of the football and track team. The Scott football team of that year were city champions, and were tied for the same position the following year. Ever since Doc could remember he wanted to be a coach. To fulfill his ambition he attended Ohio State University two years and finished his last two years at Michigan State Normal. He received a P.S. degree. P.S. means Physical Science. Years later he tauofht physical education at Point Place high' school and Glenwood Junior high. The Point Place bas- ketball team, under his instruction fought to get into the state finals. Then our alma mater received him and for three years he has been teaching here at Woodward. Miss Singal has taken over Mr. Welever's English classes.

The Bears outplayed the Redmen from all angles of the game, scoring 13 first dovsms to Fostoria's 4 and gained approximately four times the yardage than that of the Redmen. Paul Varwig contributed all of the Bears' points on runs around left end. The first score came in the opening minutes of the first period while the second touchdown came early in the second stanza. The game was all Woodward until the last seven minutes of playing time. A blocked Woodward punt behind the goal line was the setup for the first tally. Fifteen yards for clipping was the teeoff for the Redmen's second score. After getting possession of the ball with but few minutes playing time left, Fostoria tried a run-off tackle but was pulled down before any dam- age was done. With second down and about nine to go a Fostoria halfback sprinted Wide around right end for the touchdown. The score at this point was divided evenly with 12 points apiece but a perfect conver- sion by the Redmen put Fostoria one point in front of Vorderburg's charges. The Bears battled the remainder of the game in enemy territory but seconds later the game came to an end with Woodward on the short end of a 13-12 count. Woodward lineup: Bucher, Knierim, endsg Paradysz, Piasecki, tacklesg Norman, Puls, guards: Joe Ustaszewski, center: Sloan, Santus, Varwig, and Aubry up the backfield. i Dave McMurray Volunteers Blood Donation To Red Cross Dave McMurray, English instructor was one of the many people of Toledo who volunteered to give blood to the Red Cross.

Intra-mural Teams Play Intra-Mural teams were at a stand still last Tuesday, with none of the clubs showing up for their schedualed tilts. Team five forfeited their game to group one, two lost to squad six, while neither teams one nor three were rep- resented. 'Ieam six still leads the Intra- Mural race with four wins against no defeats. PARADYZE PIASECKI Valves, tires, motors, wrenches and banged up fenders, rate with Edward Paradyze, rough and burly varsity football player. Ed, as everyone calls him, has had an abundance of experience in foot- ball. Playing in the empty lot in the neighborhood, having a position'on the Frosh team, and also player and captain of the Lightweight team. Paradyze, who plays left tackle on the Bears star gridder team, has good chances for next year, not only in football, but with a certain Irence. His list of talents go beyond foot- ball into history, where he is always alert, and auto mechanics. Fulfilling last year's sophomore cabinet as sergeant-at-arms, partly trained Ed- ward. After graduation Ed wishes to either fly for the Navy Air Corps or enlist in the Marines with hopes of doing air work there. He first learned of his ambition in this field while in grade school where he spent his leisure time building fighting air- plane models. After gazing upon a picture of Frank Piasecki when he was in the fifth grade-one of the Tattler staff brought it to school-we came to the conclusion that he was made for foot- ball. A hard hitting tackle, he played varsity football in his sopho- more year and was given honorable mention in the All-City line-up. Hunting and hunting paraphernalia, football and football equipment play an important part in Frank's life. This junior is the owner of eight guns, two of which are pistols, two, rifles, and the other four, shotguns. This wise tackle will not make any predictions on the Scott game tomor- row, but he made the encouraging statement that, Every member of the team will be in there fighting. Upon graduating, if the war is over, Frank expects to enter college for an engineering course. If it isn't, he feels that his football training will be a great help to him in the army and later life. Coach Vorderburg is rated the best in the country by Frank. Woodward Seniors To Play Final City Game at Scott Tomorrow night in Scott stadium two disgruntled, victory hungry, elevens will lock horns in what should prove to be a wide open battle. For Woodward it will be their last city game and they will have nothing to lose. For Scott, a loss would clinch last place for them regardless of the outcome of the Waite game. Both Bob Rettig and Elmer Vorder- burg will be shooting the works in an effort to salvage a win, and a loss to either will be about as wel- come as indigestion to a cannibal. Scott has lost several close games this year, and last week took 38-7 drubbing from Libbey. This and other city league scores tend to prove the Woodward line from two to three touchdowns stronger than Scott. How- ever, in a game of this sort, nothing is a certainty and orthodox football probably will take quite a beating before the evening is over. Kaighin Man To Watch The Bulldog to watch is Tom Kaighin, wheelhorse fullback, who spearheads the Scott attack. Kaighin is an excellent kicker, shifty runner, and accurate passer. Most of the pass receiving will be done by Mal Coff- man, lanky end. These two will con- stitute the main Bulldog offensive threat. The complete Scott line-up will probably be: Coffman and Burk- hardt, endsg Dick Beat and George Gibson, tacklesg Ray Koinis and Cap- tain Johnny Schwartzbaugh, guards, and Aubrey Dolgan, center. The backfield will be: Bill Denman, Ray Kulwicki, Dick Ransom, and Tommy Kaighin. The Polar Bears will pre- sent: Bucher, Piasecki, Puls, Wisniew- Slil, NOTHIBH, Paradyze, Ustazewski gill carry the scoring punch for the ears. All in all a good rough game is a certainty. The game was originally scheduled for tonight, but a last minute changed the battle to Saturday. - Woodward Oubs Mauled By Libbey's Lightweights 34-0 ' The Woodward Polar Cubs lost their last game of the season last Thursday to the Libbey Cowboys 34-0. The south- side steamroller mauled and mangled the Cubs till only shreds of a defense were left. The Cowboys, quoting the words of their coach, played over their heads. Playing a single wingback offense the Libbey boys ripped holes in the bear line. I'hey scored three of their touch- downs on end runs and two by plunging through the line. For the Bears, again it was Mullinix all the way. However it takes eleven men to make a team and thus the score. This is the first game the Cowboys from Libbey have won this season. They had a real field day though, every play called. tore off yardage against the Bear Cubs. The Libbey game concluded the season for the Cubs. 1l.. Three Freshman Teams Tie The intra-mural teams are competing in Pass and Tap football this week.

Six shifts were used to enable everyone to work only one period. Mrs. Isla Van Vranken and Miss Stella Sawtelle supervised from one o'clock to three-thirty Wednesday, with 18 pupils assisting and Thursday they were aided by 14 girls. Wednesday from three-thirty till Eve-thirty twelve students assisted Miss Belle Joeseph, Miss Gertrude Kan- ney, Miss Hanneh Shaw, Miss Betty Nelson, Miss Louise Beavers, Miss Ethel Kerlin, Miss Katherine Tobin, and Charles Staneart. Mrs. Mary Crouse, Miss Camelia Savage, S.B Crouse, Mrs. Bessie Burkett, Miss- Louise Tippett, James Pollock, Howard Phipps, Miss Dorothy Pasch, and 12 pupils took care of oil rationing appli- cants during the corresponding period on Thursday.

With the publication of an active school paper which has become a part of every Friday, your Tattler staff has encountered criticism from stu- dents unfamiliar with newspaper management. To explain the whys and the wherefores is our purpose in the following story. Other opinions which you think would improve our paper will be considered and if found useable will be worked out. Our purpose is to improve-your's is to tell us how. We have asked pupils what they think and here are our answers to them and you: . I. Alex Sahadi, sophomore and member of the Dramatics Club, 1 think that there should be more pic- tures in the paper concerning the ac- tivities of the school. II. Johnny Payak, junior member of the basketball team, The feature page gossip is too mushy. III. Kate Brubaker, senior drum majorette, Not enough space is de- voted to personal gossip, and too .nuch space is devoted to news. IV. George Skaif, senior boys' ed- itor of the Saga, The paper should oe larger and should contain more pictures. V. Betty Jean Clark, senior and girls' sports editor of the Saga, 'There isn't enough life in the Tat- tler to hold the interest of the stu- lents. VI. Kate Rudolph, senior girls' ed- itor of the Saga, In my 0piI1i0I1, there should be more gossip columns. VII. Thelma Diamond, senior, We need more pictures in the Tattler. VIII. Larry Evert, junior, Too many of the same kids have their names in the paper. IX. Tommy Mead, junior member of the band, There is too much news concerning activities of other schools, and not enough about activities in Woodward. X. Frances Dyer, soph9m01'9, There are too many errors in the paper. Now let's hear the answers to these criticisms. I. Our paper is published free from advertisements everyuweek. At two cents a copy we are just break- ing even. Pictures would be an ex- pense of approximately 35.00 every week for a four by seven cut. We would have to depend on selling 250 more papers every week to meet it. Our sales are now the greatest of any school paper in Toledo. If sales go up, we will have pictures. II. The gossip is our problem child. Girls like it mushy, boys like it subtle. We try hard to mix it up. III. Ours is a newspaper. Three years' training is required for a stu- dent to be on the senior staif. They learn news is the backbone and heart of a paper. Gossip is enjoyed but we dare not extend more than we do to the Tattler and call it a newspaper. IV. Pictures have been handled. The size is one which size is one which is our style and to change a newspaper's style is often disaster- ous. See how the Blade is slowly chang- ing theirs at the present time? I V. Life, What is life? Gossip? News? Opinions? Tell us what life is and we'll show you 23 students spend approximately 115 hours a week keeping it alive and full of spice. 1 VI. Students go for gossip. Fac- ulty members dislike it. We hit a happy medium with one page full. We try every week to use different names and situations. u VII. Pictures again? would like to see them in the staff. We believe smarten it up considerably. VIII. A strict record. used on the feature page is kept. N0 student's name is allowed to be in over twice a year. We seek variety in this manner. Names in news cannot be lhelped. The pupils that do things are in. The others are obsolete. IX. The Tattler is purchased by 1700 pupils every week and read by 2,500 people every week. Many of these 2,500 are not Woodwardites. and are interested in outside happenings. By the way, what is Outside '? Personal items sell papers-so we use them. A X.

Twenty-six petitions were taken out by the sophs from Miss Dorothy Pasch. Results will be made public Monday. mrkobucmc George Marks I have relatives in occupied Greece, stated George Marks when asked why he contributed afive dollar bill to the Red Cross drive. We found George to be a quite, re- served freshman, which is certainly a novelty. His tastes are also conservative in keeping with his personality. He likes books, and reads a good deal. He is al- so an amature playwright, and has written several playlets for personal use. Anything pertaining to motion pic- tures captivates George, and he can usually be found at one of the local theaters. At first, because natural shyness George refused to admit he gave the five dolla-rs for any other reason than Just to help. However, he eventually loosened up, and made the statement with which the interview opened. He stated seriously that he didn't suppose a personal contribution would reach Greece, but that as long as it helps, I was glad to give it. A pleasing smile lights Miss Helen Marie Grifhn's face when she gazes on her freshman prodigy, for George's little gift placed her room well up a- mong the leaders. By way of closing, we sincerely say that as long as there are students like George Marks, worthy causes like the Red Cross can be assured ofsupport. VOX POP Dear Editor, Why don't we rate junior rings? Why were seniors allowed 'to order rings if there is a shortage of mater- ials? These are the questions in the mind of most juniors. The iirst question was answered when R. K. Sheline stated it would be impossible because of the shortage of skilled workmen to fill the orders. This statement was shattered when it was announced seniors, who had an opportunity to purchase them last year, would be given another chance, while we juniors would be de- prived altogether. This situation has caused much dis- cussion. We are not unpatriotic, but in this case it is unfair to make some sacrifice so that others may profit. It has been said juniors in other schools will have rings. Why don't we rate?

This same subject will be discussed on the Town Hall Meeting Of The Air on the evening of the aforementioned date. Similar forums will be held' at all Toledo public high schools during the week of November 16, to acquaint student bodies of the work carried on by the radio department. The forum will consist of four or five students participating who will be from Woodward. The students wishing to participate are to write an essay on this subject which will consist of about 400 words and has to be in by November 17. The four best essays will be chosen by the Radio Department. Byron Williams from Columbus, Ohio, of the American Education Craft, will be the moderator of Wood- ward's program. Harry Lamb, radio supervisor of the Board of Education, will be pres- ent to judge the best of the four essays. The person submitting the best essay will speak on November 23, on the regular high school forum program. The same method of choos- ing is being used in the other Toledo high schools., Every pupil will have an oppor- tunity to hear this program which is being planned by Miss Helen Marie Griffin and Mrs. Dorothy Matheny. Aviation Society Initiates Twelve Boys at Y.M.C.A. The Aviation Society held its annual initiation at the Y.M.C.A. last week. Twelve boys entered the Society and went swimming in the pool after the ceremonies. Following this they were treated to a tasty bite at the White Tower. The officers elected are as follows: president, Kenneth CBDDQ vice-presi- dent, Bernard Renardg secretary, Clif- ford Plageman and treasurer, Johnny Rickard. The twelve new members are: Richard Crimer, Edward St. Jermam, Paul Parks, William Jurkiewicz, Sam Gill, William Pfeiierlie, Kenneth Nape- la, Gerald Miseikowski, Richard De- groff, William Valade and William Sogoviauco. Jim Davis Chosen President Of Woodward Electrical Club If Jim Davis were superstitious, his life as newly elected president of the Electrical Society would be torture. Last Friday, when elections were held, Jim was chosen to be the thirteenth president by getting thirteen votes. That would make any black magic de- votee quiver in his boots. Other officers chosen were: Don Da- vis, vice presidentg Marvin Lee, secre- taryg Lowell Cilman, treasurer, and Bill Baron, sergeant-at-arms. A. R. Bitter is adviser of the Elec- tricial Society. Premiums Delayed Due to war conditions, the arrival of the magazine salesmen's premiums will be delayed. Last year, Clyde Van Tassel said, all of the premiums were not deliveredfor a period of two months. FORUM TO BE HELD AT WOODWARD WOODWARD LAUNCHES WAR CHEST DURING DOUBLE ASSEMBLY, NOV. 19 CAMPAIGNg GOAL PLACED AT S500 K TATTLER sEN1oRs RETURN AFTER WEEK END TRIP TO COLUMBUS, 0H1o Of 25 Cent, Each Friday morning at 7 o'clock 12 sleepy Tattler members and one adviser began their journey to Columbus, Ohio, to attend the nineteenth annual convention of the Journalism Association of Ohio Schools. After checking into the Neil House the newspaper group toured the Capital Building of the state of Ohio, where Arthur Arnold, the governor's welfare man, explained many interesting details and granted a rare privilege to the Woodward representatives by allowing them to visit the governor's office. The governor's absence was greatly regretted. The opening-sesslon in the ballroom of the Neil House was called to order by the president. Speeches were given on the Press in War Time and f'Covering Elections by important journalists. At this meeting it was an- nounced that this will be the last convention for the duration. Frida evenin o ened uith the ban uet Cal L on recen r 3' BP- ' 1 Q- y, twarco- respondent of Scripps-Howard editions, gave a colorful and humorous talk on his life. Frank Dempsey, Ohio State cheer leader, led the group of 400 delegates in songs and cheers. The dance in the grand ballroom was the climax of an interesting day, where Charlie Bennett and his orchestra played. Saturday was filled with round tables and discussion groups. where Tattler people gained valuable knowledge on the improvement of their paper and the editing of a school weekly during war time. Excellent lectures on layout, make-up, content, and radio news-writing proved interesting. . A clinic for newspapers was held by the Sigma-Delta-Chi, professional journalism fraternity, of Ohio State. Betty Buyea, Lois Ann Frankowski and Alfce Dyer submitted' the Tattler for criticism and have returned with many new ideas to improve its pages. In.the afternoon the Pitt-Ohio State football game was attended. For many it was their first big league football game and although it was stu- pendous a majority vote among the students brought them to leave the game 'ind hurry to Toledo to catch the remaining minutes of the Bear duel with Scott. ART KLAN DISBANDS DUE TO WAR WORK 5 Miss June Anderson, adviser of the Art Klan. Because of the present upsetting war conditions, the Art Klan has de- cided to disband for the duration. It is the second club that has done so this year. So many of the members work after school that attendance at meet- ings was getting increasingly poorer. However, when the war is over the club will be reorganized with as many of the present members as are still in Woodward. Before disbanding, the Art Klan contributed five dollars from its treasury to the Junior Red Cross. They will also finish paying for an air brush with the money made from the skate. Classes Tour Museum Students in Mrs. Hella Anderson's ancient and medival history classes met Monday morning at the Toledo Museum of Art. Mrs. Nancy Seiberling of the museum acted as guide and lecturer for the group. After seeing the Egyptian ex- hibit, an illustrated talk on Mesopot- amia and early Greece, was enjoyed by the pupils. They returned to school by fourth hour. Your Student Council Wishes to announce the indorse- ment of another noon-movie money system. We regret making these changes but they will be continued until a satisfactory arrangement is made. The system now being em- ployed calls for correct change, both at the doors and the food counter. Cooperate by bringing two cents for admission, a nickle for food. C. C. LaRue Judges Speaking Contest At Waite Tuesday Tuesday morning Charles C. LaRue, Mr. Youngquist of Libbey and Mr. Dil- ler of DeVilbiss acted as judges in a public speaking contest at Waite High School. The topic discussed was Prince Of Peace. These speeches were given by select- ed students before ajunior and senior assembly. Memory, diction, and the manner in which their speech was presented, pl iyed a major part in the discussion of the judges. Mathematics Pupils Process 2100 Fuel Rationing Blanks The mathematic classes of Mrs. Mary Crouse and Mrs. Eula Upp com- pleted about 2100 fuel oil applications at the end of two days. Robert Janis and Walter Stobinski replaced Max Wexler and Richard Emmerick in processing under Mrs Upp' . . . . Each pupil working on the rationing learned one specific process. However George Skaif, senior, and George Skaif, junior, Norman Dagaforde, senior, and Sidney Adams, junior, mastered all, and on Friday rechecked the blanks. Pat Snyder, Corine McLane, Clar Rises, and Dolores Granize were th'- only girls to sign up for riding Wednes- day. Mrs. Dorothy B. Matheny,adviser of the Riding Club, will accompany the group to Douglas Riding Academy for their lesson. Pupils Asked To Pledge Sum Mrs. Eva Leu With the goal of S500.00, Wood- ward' enters into the War Chest drive Monday, November 16, under the su- pervision of Mrs. Eva Leu. She also has charge of collecting money from the faculty. Everyone is asked to pledge 71W more this year than last as the city-wide goal is S1,023,206. The War Chest is a united cam- paign for funds for the support of 60 agencies devoted to assist C15 our armed forces through the U.S.O., the War Prisoners Aid, and the Amer- ican Social Hygiene Association, Q25 our Allies through the Polish-Amer- ican Council, Greek War Relief and other societies, Q35 the 42 agencies formerly financed through the Toledo Community Chest and the Toledo Society for Crippled Children. This last group of agencies, called the To- ledo Community Chest, is engaged in preventive efforts against dependency, neglect, sickness, family breakdown and the countless social enemies grown more dangerous with war-time conditions. I With the exception of the Amer- ican Red Cross, all other campaigns for local, national, and international war work agencies are eliminated. There will be no Community Chest campaign next spring. C. C. LaRueiis asking each Wood- ward student to pledge at least 25c. Those who are earning money are asked to give more. To make the pay- ment easier, Mr. LaRue suggests pay- ing a nickel a day for five days. Students who wish may give di- rectly to a particular agency or agencies by designating on the back of the pledge card. The campaign ends a week from today. Pupils Of Radio Production Class Present Three Plays Three radio plays have been given by students in the afternoon Radio Production Class at Warren School. All Out for Davey, a skit about a boy and his dog was the first play given. Time is Short, a dramatic play about this present World War, and last Tuesday's story about Negroes in America called Brothers was given. - The plays were under the direction of Miss Dorothy Kellogg are given each Tuesday at 2:15 over WSPD. If any rooms wish to listen each week they may. Woodward students who participated in these three programs are, Dave Wynn, Helen Clark, Robert Hallet, Dorothy Ashford, and Charles Myne- der.

School Work And After School Work UPILS! Are you attending to your duties here at school, or are you falling down on the job? There has been some discussion lately ofthe many students who work after school, thereby neglecting their school work. The te ichers are not to be lenient with those who work, for the most important thing for you students now is to get your education. ' You who leave your homework go, and work somewhere, are making money but you are losing in the long run. Right now, especially in time of war, the most important ways a student can help is to attend school and really get something out of it. What is more important to you--earning a little money or gaining knowledge? Think it over and I am sure you will agree that the latter step is the best for you. First Ten Weeks End Today - HE WORK for the first ten weeks of school closes today. The grades which you receive are the ones for which you worked. If your grade is low, why not resolve to improve it during the next period? Students with good grades don't slip but keep up the good work. Especially now, during the wartime it is your pa- triotic duty to study. It is not a dramatic way of helping to win the war, but it is one sure way in which each student of Woodward can assist. Class Support Called On HE JUNIOR AND SOPHOMORE elections are over. You have elected boys and girls to po- sitions which you thought they were most able to fulltill. Now that you have done so, give them support, so that they can do what you expect of them. Of course they probably won't be able to satisfy everyone because the War Program has curbed so many things which are connected with a school program. You students must realize this. To those boys or girls who were nat elected, some of you have abilities which can be used, so don't forget about the activities of your class just because you were not voted into otTice.Let's have some support and cooperation. - 1 2. t GN' i a mf edlf umm Llfkf HE SENIOR TATTLER STAFF has returned from Columbus rich in the knowledge of what a newspapers work is in school. Roundtables, discussion groups, lectures and dis- plays were studied and heard so that upon return- ing they could bring a better page to you each week. War programs have just begun to creep into Woodward. The Victory Corps will become a dis- tinct reality in a short time. I t With the experience derived from the convention the Tattler is now capable ot taking an active part in any such wartime campaign and may be depend- ed on to help when needed. At the Convention they learned of many new fads of newspaper work and make-up. Some will be worked out with the help of the student body. Let -the Tattler remind you, it's your paper, we'll make it better for you!

Don't walk under latters, and watch any stray black cats more than ever today, 'cause it's Friday the the 13 again. You may say your not superstitious, but if everything goes wrong for you today, remember that I warned you. The reason there wasn't any C schedule to- day, any mass meeting, or a winning football game is in reality due to this jinxed date. And, the reason this Tattler came out today was also because its Friday the 13 th. Luckily,though, we can say the calendar won't bring another until sometime to come. Oh! Those Pledges Any semblance to the following and sanity is purely accidental. The whole school went berserk last week when the Peri pledges came to school .... what with celery in the their hair, two different pairs of shoes on, dresses on backwards and so forth and so on. Their Peri Pals went at them with vim and vigor and all day they were the cause of a potpouri of action. Their glamour on the pan gave way to ashen white faces as they were forced to take it oifi' .... the make up! A thunderclap aroused from various students as the pledges got on their knees and bowed very majestically to the Peri bigwigs. The funfest ended rather abruptly Friday as it was the last day of the week, and the pledges gleefully headed for home after 3 o'clock to once more return to their happy, normal lives. The di- does, however, will never forget the nonsense they went through and who could. If ignorance is bliss, then this reporter is tra-la- happy- Laboratory Learnings My first minute in the laboratory is now starting The teacher is passing out some sheets on which- we are to check our supplies. Now he's told every- one to get out their pestle. I didn't know they used -pistols in chemiistry. Maybe for the duration they're to teach chemistery students how to use a gun. Oh, joy. I guess I'll ask the girl next to me about it. Oh! the teacher said pestel instead of pistol. Next on the checking list is a thistle. QI thought thistles were only used in biology.j Now, I see, it's a thistle tube. One test tube is cracked. I must have it replaced by a new one. Oh! I dropped the test tube and broke it.

The column this week will be devoted to news of the Victory Corps of other schools. U K U Central High School students of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, have already expereinced a taste of how they will participate in the Victory Corps. First aid handbooks and knitting needles are soon to be com- mon among the Centralites. A physical fitness pro- gram has also been slated. ill lk Ili Although the Boy's Technical High School of Milwaukee, Wis. havent as yet become H member of the Corps, they have sent two representatives to the headquarters to hear the discussions. Listed are the following branches of the Victory Co-rps: tl! General members L23 A Service Division 133 Land Service Division C43 Sea Service Division t5t Pro- duction Service Division 165- Community Service Division. F 1 I Principal J. O. Fry will act as chairma of Hamil- not high school of Hamilton, Ohio. The students there will be given applications for voluntary en- listment very sf-on. The two chief aims of the corps are: first, immediated accelerated and special train- ing of youth service which they will do after leaving school, second, active participation of youth while still in school in the community's war effort. Girls as well as boys are welcome to victory corps ranks and all students are eligible for general member- ship. : as -at Among the Toledo high schools, Woodward has been one of the first to begin it's drive for member- ship in the Victory Corps. Let's hope we can be as competent as the schools of other towns.

Why, Mrs. Draves, isn't the lower part of my leg on which I stand beautiful? cried Alice Dyer as she pushed it farther into her face. Yes, very pretty,very pretty, she answered for fear of having the lower part of the leg pushed on into her face. You know, heavy people usually have slim lovely ankles. They do -I ought to know--look at mine, piped Joan Gigliotti. Mrs. Draves, how do you stand this? Mrs. Draves smilingly answered, It is very nice first hour in the morning, but by the end of the day--oh my! This was seventh hour. I suppose everyone knows what I am talking about. The senior girls had their feet examined during their gym period recently. My Girl l! Wow! My girl is really a novelty, but I love her. And most people say she is fat, but she is not.

Boy, is she skinny. When I see her at the piano, I think of that pop- ular song Praise the Chord and Pass the Malnu- trition. But I love her and I'm going to marry her. Then maybe her father will get off my chest.

Midway in the first period a long Kaighin punt put Woodward deep in their own territory. A pass from center then put the Woodward lads in the shadow of their own goal posts. Varwig then shook back to kick, but the Scott line swarmed on him, and Aubrey Dolgin, Scott center, blocked the boot. The ball shot high into the air, and an alert Scott end, Mal Coffman, grabbed it and fell into the end zone. The conversion was successful and the score was 7-0 Scott. In the second period the Bears began to move. Starting from the 37 Santus and Sloan tore off gains through tackle and Ustazewski plunged to the 25-yard line for a first down. The pile driving Bear fullback then bat- tered his way to the Scott 12. Varwig then fired a bullet pass to Bill Santus, who caught it on the four, spun out of the hand of two Scotters, and drove over for the score. Al Ustazewski knotted the count with a perfect placement. The final quarter was a wild mix- ture of Scott passes and Woodward interceptions, with the only serious threat coming when Scott recovered a Bear fumble on the Woodward 16. The Bear starting line-up included: Knierim, Paradyze, Norman, Wis- niewski, Puls, Piasecki, Bucher, Sloan, Santus, Varwig, and Ustazewski. Toledo Principals Start Action To Curtail Sp-orts At a meeting of Toledo high school principals last week, it was decided to abandon spring sports until a change in present conditions allow them to be resumed. This decision is epected to be supported by the Toledo athletic managers who meet next Tuesday. This will eliminate track, tennis, golf, and baseball. The change is due principally to transportation diffi- culties which have been accented by the recent gas rationing. The principals, realizing that the step was a drastic one, have left sev- eral loopholes open. For one thing, the spring sports are definitely not out for the duration. If, in the com- ing year, war time conditions im- prove sufficiently so that gas ration- ing is lessened, and more transpor- tation is available, the principals have no objection to the program being resumed. The elimination of this program would also curtail the activities of many boys whose only athletic out- let may be track, baseball, golf, or tennis. We feel that before such a step is taken, the problem should be care- fully considered from all angles. Perhaps there are students willing to provide transportation for the teams. Perhaps some of the players would be willing to provide a means of getting to the games. These are all possibilities and should be considered before any defi- nite action is taken. Upperclassmen Hear Talk Dr. Brown, prominent in Toledo and other cities as a physical educa- tion promoter, was the speaker at a recent junior, senior class meeting. Dr. Brown came to Woodward with a plea to the students to give more care to their bodies and also added that the Y, both the boys' and girls', is the ideal place for people to go for such an education. Watson Doc Welever has resigned as coach of the freshman basketball squad . . . Howard Phipps, bowling coach, has entered three teams in the High School Bowling Conference. This will increase Woodward's chances of settling on the top of the loop . . . In intra-murals, Team Six still stalks at the top of the ladder. Captain John Payak, Paul Seymour, Kenneth Eck, and Dan Obertacz are the boys who are putting this team in the headlines . . . Boys' gym classes have been playing an exciting game called Speed Ball. This isa fast and furious sport which is a combination of basketball, soccer and football . . . Lightweight basketball coach, Wilson Weis, is drilling his new group of hopefuls on zone offense and defense. It was this type of ball that brought the 1941-1942 reserve crown to Wood- ward . . . A letter to C. C. LaRue from Chester Wicichowski, Frank Zawacki, Stanley Nestor, and Ted Kos, grads of '39, stated that they were still loyal to Woodwardites and gave their buddies a two touchdown handicap over Scott. By the way, if you have not already guessed these boys are playing ball on Uncle Sam's team and are stationed at Camp Junsten, Kansas . . . The talk on phy- sical education related to the junior and senior classes by Doctor Brown interested particularly of the middle section . . . Incidentally, between Paul Varwig and Wilbur Bedacht who oc- cupied the seats on either end of the row were members of Elmer Vorder- burg's football squad. Yesterday in the girls' gym, there was a party for freshmen sponsored by the Leaders' Club. Dolores Czarecki was chairman while Dorothy Czarnecki, Mary Getzinger, and Doris Gang assisted her . . . They are think- ing of having a splash party during the month of November . . . Honorable mention to the first hour Tuesday and Thursday gym class. They have more enthusiasm than all others put together . . . Betty Linker is the out- standing swimmer of this quarter . . . Freshmen classes have finished their tournaments of schlag ball. Monday they amused themselves by playing kick ball and giant volleyball with the large cage ball . . . The idea of making up work if such things as bowling, swimming, and riding are missed is working out very well. The girls are cooperating perfectly . . . Marian Vogt was high bowler Mon- day with 165. Pat Littlefield closely followed with 155. Alice Biegala bowled 147 . . . Who are cleaner- boys or girls????? This question has been debated among the gym teachers. The conclusion is as fol- lows-out of a class of fifty boys at least forty take showers. From a class of fifty girls only four take showers. Well, girls!!! . . . All intra- mural teams and captains should be handed in by 2:30 today to one of the gym teachers as the tournament starts next week . . . Tom Marinelli Gives Opinion On Cheering Body As Good The cheering was better than last year, but for the size of our student body. it should be at least twice as loud. The main trouble is that the students don't watch the cheer- leaders, stated Tom Marinelli, head cheerleader. Tom had the earnest look of one trying to convince an- other of a great truth. Tom has been a cheerleader here for the past three years. After spend- ing his sophomore and junior years as a regular cheerleader, Tom has now become captain of the cheer- leaders. Tom is one of these few people who radiate happiness and good humor. Whenever you see him look- ing angry, don't be fooled. He is a very amiable person, always, and doesn't stay angry longer than a min- ute or two. When asked the usual query about his favorite subject he replied gym and believe me, he wasn't kidding. Ah yes, lady love has Tom on the hook. Cupid has made him a lover. The initials M.K. are deeply ingrained in his heart. M. stands for Marcella just in case you didn't know. Tom, as everyone knows, is a vir- tuoso on the accordion. His accordion is his hobby and ambition, and by its own testimony has been quite a success. Tommy has political aspirations and plans to run for vice-president of the senior class. Bob Blank Resumes Post Bob Blank has not joined any of the services. Contrary to the rumor that he was leaving school is the fact that he will be present at the Scott- Woodward game Saturday evening. VARSITY BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Date Opponent Floor Dec. 1 .........

Scott Woodward Cage Star To Stay At Waiteg Welever May Resume Duty Efforts were made early this week to bring the famed Chuck Chuck- ovitz to Woodward. However, when his services had almost been secured, Art Turbey, Waite basketball coach, resigned his position and as Chuck- ovitz had a previous contract with the East.Side school he was forced to remain. This may mean that Watson Wel- ever who had previously resigned as freshman coach will have to resume his duties. It has been decided by the Toledo Athletic Board that the freshman basketball league will be disbanded. The new Woodward system will consist of a freshman intra-school league. This league will play a reg- ular schedule. At the end of the scheduled play the teams will meet in a play-off tournament to determine ,the best quintet. Mansfield. Mansfield for the past few years has been one of Ohio's toughest out- fits. Last year's team was considered equal to any in the state, and proved this by tying Massillon 6-6. How- ever, this year's squad has failed to reach pre-season expectations, and has suffered several defeats. The Bears will go into the fray fully primed and eager to wind up the season with a win. No serious injuries were sustained in the Scott game, and the Bruins will be at full strength. Captain To Play The Mansfield contingent witness- ing the game tonight will be privi- leged to see Toledo's best fullback performing. The Bear captain nipped gaping holes in the big Scott line, and he is expected to stage a repeat performance for the ben-ent of Mans- field's forward wall. Besides the versatile Ustaszewski, triple threat, Paul Varwig, will give the Mansfield secondary plenty of trouble. The remaining members of the Woodward backfield, Bill Santus and Ed Sloan, will be closely watched by the Mansfi-eld pass defense. Both of these boys are 60-minute threats and either is capable of pulling a Varwig aerial for long gains. Line-ups Named The hard charging Bear line will include: Marv Bucher and Jim Knierim, ends, both of whom gave stellar performances at Scottg Ed Paradyze and Frank Piasecki, power- ful tacklesg Jimmy Norman and Bozo Puls, dependable guards, and Irv Wisniewski, steady center. Mans1ield's line-up will include eight sophomores, five in the line. The Mansfield backs have always given good accounts of themselves, and can never be underestimated. Game time tonight is 8:15 and the completed Woodward team will leave Toledo about 5 o'clock. The Blue and White will be fight- ing to close the most successful season in eight years with a victory. and the game should be fast and exciting. Basketball Activities Books To Go On Sale Wednesday Basketball activities books for the seven home games to be played on Woodward's floor will be sold for 591.25 starting next Wednesday and ending November 30. Following the method used in the football books, only cash sales will be made. Florence Burnard and Dor- othey Miller will take care of the sales in room 308. Single admission tickets, will be sold in the booth across from the office by Lorraine Kwitowski for 5.28, tax included. Arnold J. Brown, athletic director, is directing this sale.

Guess who the best and swiftest 'reporter on the Tattler is. No, you'll never get the right answer to that riddle. Might as well let you know that it's none other than C. C. LaRue, who handed in his Principal Points fwhich is found on the feature page of the Tattlerj only fifteen minutes after receiving the information that he had to have it in that day. i Catholic Students Recieve Instructions Every Week Again this year religious instructions will be held for those of the Catholic faith on Wednesday at 3:15. The only change made this year will be Father Sabel who will replace Father Wagneras head of the religious instuction group. Before coming to Woodward as a religion instructor, Father Sabel taught school at St. Johns College and also held the position of assistant principal of Central Catholic high school. Pupils will go to the rooms according to the Parish they attend. Those of St. Hedwigs will go to 2165 St. Adelberts, 1245 St. Mary, 119g St. Frances De Sales, 1203 and those attending St. Vincent De Paul will meet in 305. 1 Too Young In a poll of those teachers who served in the last World War, it was interesting to note that five teachers saw active service. Howard Phipps was a top sergeant, O. M. Thompson was a quarter master sergeant in the 85th Division of the Army, and served nine months, al- though not overseas. Charles Stan- eart was also a sergeant in the quar- termaster corps having served eleven months with no overseas duty. Clyde Van Tassel was in the Motor Ve- hicle department of the Army, while L. C. Clark served in the navy two years and had the rating of first class musician. He was assistant music di- rector aboard the U. S. S. Indiana. Some teachers were very close to fretting in. Hugh Montgomery had lasted longer. just filled out his questionnaire when the Armistice was signed. Although W. F. Rohr was deferred because he was working in a defense factory, he would have entered, had the war Lawrence Nuber, Raymond Sheline, and A. R. Bitter were in training but the Armistice was signed before they finished their courses. Homer Han- ham was nearly in, for he would have been taken in the next draft. Guy Sutphen was not accepted be- cause of heart trouble. S. B. Crouse and James Pollock were not in be- cause of families. Wilson Weis explained that he was born a year after the war ended, thus giving him a good enough excuse for deferment. Those listed as youngsters were George Rohrer, Joe Dence. David McMurray, A. J. Brown, and Leo Robie. 'Other teachers who didn't go and failed to give any further explana- tions were Elmer Vorderburg, Harry Wohler, Myron Skinner, Art Smith. Floyd Lords, Clyde Meek, Watson Welever, Joy Morhardt, and Paul Thomae. Miss Hazel Coy was in training and therefore didn't serve in the war. Seniors Relate Convention Tales At Tattler Luncheon The Tattler luncheon was held in the Woodward cafeteria, fourth, fifth. and sixth hours, Thursday, November 12. After lunch everyone retired to the library where the seniors gave accounts of their trip to the journalism conven- tion in Columbus. Members of the Tattler and the students of Mrs. Ersig's newswriting class attended the luncheon. Invited guests included: C.C. LaRue,Miss Amie Miller, Clyde Meek,Miss Mary Huchison Hugh Montgomery, Miss Edith'Murphy Mrs. Hazel McManamon, Lewis Mack and Miss Stella Sawtelle. Ruth Komisarek was chairman of this affair, assisted by Geraldine Putty, Christine Pavlos, Sidney Adams, and Norbert Zakolski. A. J. R. C. Gifts Displayedg Donations Are In Showcase Junior Red Cross donations to war refugees and service men were displayed in the show-case on the second floor this week. Two beautiful hand-knitted afghans were made by volunteers from Wood- ward. They will be sent to hospitals where wounded service men are conva- lescing. A soldier's and a sailor's scarf were also made. A sweater for a refugee child was made by Verly Collins. A toddler's suit, including a sweater, a hat, and a pair of mittens, was made by Mrs. O'Brien. The Junior Red Cross Council and Mrs. Belle Joseph's Friendship girls also helped to make these articles. Held Thursday Leading Ralph Gajewski by one vote, Richard Joseph was formally declared president of the spohomore class last Tuesday in the most closely contested race ever conducted for sophomore class officers at Wood- Ward. Al Sahadi was elected vice-pres- ident. Pat Janowiecki, the new soph- omore secretary, led Dolores Pudlicki by a margin of three votes. Phyllip Mansour is treasurer. Betty Lou Clayton won the position of reporter by defeating Grace Mitzky by six ballots. Dick Aubry defeated Emil Darah for the post of sergeant at arms by five votes. Elections were held Wednesday, November 5, but the sophomore mem- bers of Miss Anne Wetterman's, Miss Catherine Tobin's, and William Rohr's first hour classes did not vote. How- ever, some of these people voted at the end of first hour by securing bal- lots from the advisers' rooms. Special Election Held have an opportunity to cast their bal- lots, a consultation was held by the advisers with C. C. LaRue. A delega- tion of three students, Helen Puls, Thomas Osberger, and David Gribben also conferred with the Principal. As a result of these conferences, a special election was held on Friday, November 6, for those sophomores who had not voted in the earlier election. Competition was so great, interest in the results, so keen, and the mar- gin of victory so close, that the bal- lots were counted six times to insure correctness. They were counted twice by students, and twice each by Miss Dorothy Pasch and Watson Welever. The enthusiastic interest of the sophomores in their class officers was shown in the posters and signs in the halls and the fact that a large num- ber of petitions were taken out for each office. Four candidates ran for president, vice-president, sixg secre- tary, eightg treasurer, fiveg reporter, seveng and sergeant-at-arms, seven. Miss Dorothy Pasch and Watson Welever are the advisers of the class. , l vox POP Dear Editor, This is an answer to last week's Vox Pop. The question asked was Why don't juniors rate rings if seniors are allowed to order them? A fair question deserves a fair answer. Here is the an- swer. In a recent letter from the Spartan Jewelers of Buffalo, New York, Wood ward was informed not to send for a large order of rings. Due to the shortage of -killed men and materials, the com pany stated they would not be able to take care of large ring ordersf Since there are only 16 seniors de- siring rings, the company accepted this order, although it is doubtful whether they will be received until after Christmas. A broad-minded Junior New Service Banner Made By Girls Under Wetterman Cecelia Gawronski and Virginia Schimer under the guidance of Miss Annie Wetterman are responsible for making the new service flag presented to Woodward on Tuesday of this week. The need for the new Hag was brought about by the lowering ofthe draft age and the increase in enlist- ment of the former Woodwardites. Each blue star on the new banner represents 25 boys in the armed forces, and each gold star signifies one boy killed in action. Venturing upon the sea ofpolitics for the first time, Walter T h 0 m a s , fSketterJ Bonkowski, Jr. has been suc- cessful and now is junior class presi- dent. By dint of a carefully planned campaign and having the necessary executive abilities, Skeeter was victori- ous over his opponent. Skeeter does not confine his activit- ies to politics but is intersted in bowl- ing, baseball basketball, and track. He was just recently elected co-captian of the National bowling team. He played lightweight basketball last year and is out for varsity ball now. In the spring gelplans to try out for track and base- a . Although without any definite girl friend, he is still trailed by droves of frails. Skeeter is on the loose and definitely a philanderer. Women be- ware!His favorite subject isjournalism, for which, by the way, he is assistant sports editor. Commenting on his new position he stated, Although the war will curb activities of the junior class, I will go out to please the junior class to the best of my abilities. 1-i,.

For the first time since September, Wood- ward students will get up late on a week day, without thoughts of pes, pedis, who was Arch- emides, and what happened in 1492, to mar the Faculty members will relax and let their minds wander, while some of the male members will take to the fields for a day of hunting. Thanksgiving Day has been a scene of enjoy- ment for millions of Americans just like us for generations. Throughout these generations boys have been called upon to fight wars to enable us to have something to be thankful for---that something is Democracy. This year as never before, boys are fighting a gigantic war for that privilege of America. Are you thankful! Can you truthfully say you have earned de- mocracy? This year perhaps your brother or sweetheart has left for camp. He is earning that democratic privilege for you. In re- turn, what can you give him? A material thank you would be to buy War Bonds and Stamps until your pockets lose every bulge and jingle! Morally you could extend a thank you of a prayer to Our Lord. Pray that our spirit of Thanksgiving will be spread to other lands where surpressed people yearn for freedom. America was born from the crave for free religion. Let us exer- cise our religion on the day ordained for just that purpose. You have so much to be thankful for. Look about you and see the wealth and freedom which you enjoy, apart from beleagured lands where a tyrant has supressed such things. Set aside a few minutes tomorrow for a period of thanks. Let these special minutes be filled with the meaning of THANKS- GIVING DAY. Yfw Woodward , TATTLE R Vol. XV Toledo, Ohio, November 25, 1942 No. 10 Wasp, Lexington Survivors Reveal Interesting Facts Harry Zielinski and Ed Randon sur- vivors ofthe U.S.S. Lexington and Wasp, respectively, while visiting Woodward November 11, were taken about the building by Paul Thomae, their former machine shop instructor. Somehow they landed in the Tattler office, conse, quently, an interview. These seamen commented on what great coffee drinkers navy men are, also about the good food they are served. The neighborhood, they stated, seemed very different with all of their friends gone in the service. Sixteen boys from their own block are in the navy, they exclaimed. Mr. Zielinski claimed that he knew Roy Timmons, '40 grad, who also is a survivor of the Lexington. Mr. Radon, has been in the navy for more than two yearsg Mr. Zielinski, for 22 months. When they were interviewed by Miss Marjorie Hamilton before an audience of the entire school, they de- scribed how they escaped from their ships which were torpedoed. The excellence of the program, did not betray the fact that it had been arranged on the spur of the moment. Miss Helen Marie Griffin, Miss Dorothy Warner, Mr. Thomae, and Miss Hamil- ton were the originators. Grades Recorded Grades for the first nine weeks of school will be on the ink schedules by Tuesday, November 17. The grade cards will be distributed November 19. - Blue sweaters, with t he initials W F C on a triangular monogram, were the distinctions chosen for the Friendship Club in a meeting last Tuesday.

To high school seniors this means that the government is going to call upon them for their services in the armed forces before the coming year is out. This is no high flung political aotion just to be forgotten and put aside. If you stop to realize that you may not be here for the 1943 Christmas, that this is your iast winter at home, the last Thanks- givingg you begin to appreciate the meaning of action. Millions of older fellows, your friends, have left already---eager to join and do their part to crush our universal foe. For obvious reasons,.boys of younger ages make more daring and abler soldiers, and in order to terminate this war quickly, these boys have been chosen to write the document of peace securing their children's rights. Every age must fight for it's freedom! The time is coming when you will pay the cost of your free- dom by being allowed to fight for it. As the year wears on you will prematurely be- come men-quickened to manhood by things which make men. You will begin to appreciate America and be eager to lend your aid to keep it whole and decent. Begin now to inquire about branches of service. Plan your work accordingly so that you can return with a planned vocation. Finish school. Get that education which is a rain check on a job. Then get out and win the war and help carve a peace to keep peace! Nice Going Fellows HIS YEAR Woodward's football team has com- pleted a comparatively successful season. Hav- ing iinally gained a victory on a city field, we have reason to be proud of our team. The caliber of our team is not to be misjudged. Though we have not literally trampled over any major foes, they have done their best. So we take this oppor- tunity to express our gratitude and loyalty to Woodward's fighting Bears. They have broken an eight year losing record by their victory over Waite. Let's hope the team next year will rise a little higher toward the city cham- pionship. To the seniors leaving we give our heartiest thanks for theiyears they have given to help Wood- ward in its football career. They are indeeda great loss to the team but have written their name for- ever in Woodward's Hall of Fame. Congratulations to the entire team and all those who helped make this season the outstanding one it was. Let's carry on next year juniors, and make the North Enders a feared opponent.

Well, the reason for their suffering is that the senior pictures are now almost all done and in the hands of our upper-classmen. You don't think that's reason enough? Well, all we can say is that most of those pictures are fit for decorating the bottom of a filled-to-the-brim trunk, which trunk is hidden in the very back of an inaccessible attic, which attic should be hit with a nice, big in- cendiary bomb. Get it? The seniors tramp about the school, a number of white folders under their arm, or arms, with disgust and disapointment etched deeply into their per- spiring faces. At the sight of anyone who looks even mildly sympathetic, the seniors trample them down, snatch out the folders while their poor vic- tims are held down with one arm, and scream, Does that look like me? Does it now, honestly? If the poor underclassmen ventures to tell the truth and say yes, they are bodily throwu down the stairs. If they use their wits and lie blandly, Why that doesn't look at all like you, the seniors pick them up tenderly,carry them about, buy them candy, and treat them as friends for life. And this happens every year,too.--Every time the senior pictures come out. Swap Shop One anarchist to another: What time is it by your bomb?

I'll be seeing you, Sloppy Joe PRINCIPAL POINTS WO OR THREE weeks ago a young man of 21 years addressed a luncheon club in Dayton, Ohio. He was a modest speaker, but his story was intensely gripping. He had enlisted in the service of our country as a sailor shortly after Pearl Harbor and was a member of the crew of the airplane carrier Wasp. The Wasp as you know was sunk in a naval engagement off Guadal- canal. , The story he told was one of heroism and bravery- The crew members behaved with the greatest cool ness and many lives were saved because of the splendid conduct of the officers and men in this disaster. However, the main point of his story concerned the airplanes and their pilots who when the Wasp was sunk were without a mother ship upon which to land. As soon as the Wasp sank radio messages were sent to the pilots telling them they would have to land on other ships or on adjacent air fields. A constant stream of communication was kept up until all planes but three were accounted for. Finally these were contacted and were being guided back'to the protection of other carriers or air fields. Then suddenly signals from one of the planes ceased. It had not been attacked, it had not landed but from that point the plane was lost for- ever. To this young sailor there was only one explan- ation. A faulty piece of radio equipment. Without his radio the pilot in that strange and hostile country was in the utmost danger. If he were lucky he might ily back to a friendly landing Held, but nearly all the chances were against him. Probably at the end of his fuel reserve he landed in the sea or on some Jap infested island. In either case it was death. The death of that pilot and his companion said the speaker, was traceable directly to some Workman who was responsible for turning out a defective piece of apparatus. This young fellow was in deadly earnest. There they are out in the front lines risking their lives not only from enemy fire but from carelessness and indifference of workers here at home. . Net many of you boys and girls are charged di- rectly with such a responsibility. But you are learn- ing while in school one of two ways to do your work. You will become a careless or a careful Workman. Remember in some cases a careless Workman can become a potential murderer. Learn to be careful.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER BEARS E D SEA WITH WI Woodward vvound up its 1942 football campaign last Friday by coasting to an easy 32-14 victory in sub-freezing weath- er at Mansfield, Ohio. The Polar Bears, as all Polar Bears are, were right at home in the icy blasts and w a s te d little time in chalk- ing up their first marker. the kickoff on the 40 yard line and three successive offside penalties moved the ball to the Mans- field 21. From here, Varwig knifed off tackles, wheeled sharply and raced 21 yards to score almost before the frozen spectators were settled in their seats- Ustazewski's attempted c o n v e r s 1 o n failed. The rest of the first quarter WHS fought in Mansfield territory with Bear fumbles spoiling touchdown opportun- ities. Early in the second quarter a poor Mansfield boot gave Woodward the ball deep in the 1ocal's terntory. Var- wig faded back and fired a pass to Sloan who pulled it out of the air on the Mansfield 20 and sped the remain- ing distance to score. Ustazewskfs kick was blocked. l , , 1 Usta The Bears took The Mansfield ma- chine then began thawing out and using adeceptive end around play which shook loose the fast tricky end, Jim Bur- rage for -everal gains, the hometown boys drove 75 yards down field. The drive was climaxed when But- terfield floated e 17 yard pass into the end zone which Burrage took for the score. Lewis' conversion was perfect. Following the kickoff Varwig boot- ing into a stiff wind got off a bad kick which Mansfield took deep in Bear ter- ritory. Schmidt then bowled over for the touchdown that put Mansfield in the lead. Lewisuagain converted, and the half ended 14-12 Mansfield. Opening the third quarter the Bears started their third touchdown drive this one featuring the accurate tossing of Jack MacKenzie. The drive ended when McKenzie fired a long pass intend- ed for Ed Sloan, but the ball bounced off the icy Hngers of the Bear quarter- back straight into the hands of Bill Santus who scampered 25 yards for the touchdown which put the Blue and White back into the lead. Ustazewski added the extra point. Bill In the fourth stan- za the Bears again Struck through the air. Kesslingis pass w+s batted high into the air by the Mans- field safety man, and the ball was grabbed by Jim Knierim, alert Woodward end, who outfooted the second- ary 39 yards to pay d ir t. Ustazewski's kick split the up- rights. score came when a desperate Mansfield pass was inter- cepted by Irv Wisniewski who tight- rope walked 40 yards down the sidelines to wind up the scoring. Ustazewski missed the point. For several of the Bears it was the last game under the Blue and White banner. Of Al Ustazewski, too much cannot be said for he was undoubtedly one of Woodward's finest captains. Besides be- ing one of the hardest plunging, dead- liest tackling fullbacks in the city his excellent team leadership was instru- mental in making our season the suc- cess it was. Marv. Bucher, senior end, was one of the city's outstanding fiankmen. A rock on defense and a line pass catcher he never failed to give a stellar perform- ance. His two years as varsity end were well spent. Frank The final Bear Looie Kaczmarek, our only senior guard, was the fightinest guard on the squad or in the city. Looie's strenuous tactics e- ventually b e n c h e d him with a torn car- tilage, but he bowed with a fine record. I r v Wisniewski, - ended his grid career in a blaze ofglory by realizing the ambi- G tion of every center when he intercepted a pass and scored a touchdown. Irv has been a depend- able center and a good team player. Ed Sloan has been in every sense of the word a smart quarterback. He has been a good field general who knew when to take a chance and of no quar- terback can more be said. Bill Santus has provided much of the Bear scoring punch this year. He has been a good pass catcher and a hard tackler. His small stature was no handi- cap as the Mansfield or Scott second- ary can readily state. To Jack MacKenzie, stellar passer, Hal Ressler and Joe Carns speedy backs, Ray Jagodzinski, injured end, and Jim Swaya, hard charging lineman, zgencgzithanks for a stellar season of Whiz Pat Snyder Is Honored Pat Snyder copped top honors in the Woodward horse show last Wednesday at Douglas Riding Academy. Mrs. Dior- othy B. Matheny, adviser of the Riding club, provided transportation and ac- companied the group. Participants were judged on general horsemanshlp.

Amerks Drop Three Tilts To Tigersg Nats Victors Twice American Woodward's American bowling teams opened their season last Saturday by taking three beatings in three starts against the keglers from DeVilbiss. The Bears bowled three team games, each exceding 800 pins, but the Tiger quintet, with the breaks of the game, managed to overpower the Woodward bowlers. For the Bears, Bob Wysocki was high individual bowler hitting the maples for a big 586 three game total. He open- ed with a 193, came through for a 189 middle effort, and shot a bang up 209 for his finale. Norman Sobecki,Skeeter Bonkowski. Roger Weiher, Frank Zientek, and Bob Wysocki, started the season for the local keglers. National The National bowling squad won two of three games from the Central squad when they tapped the sticks for 2056 points. Captain George Abdelnour was the top individual scorer shooting 174 and a 146 which sandwiched his high 197 middle effort. Abdelnour and Jim Swaya are the only two experienced bowlers on the team while the rest of the group is made up of newcomers. Aberski, Gail, Mariaghan, Zdrojewski, and Abdelnour opened the season for the National squad. ,- Ii 9 5:7 Ogle lt,.,..e.. -I J ,H desk. lf00lfE'I G nmu D Waite and Benton Harbor staged an old fashioned thriller last Friday in the Indian stadium. The change in the Waite team, from early season form, isreally amazing. The Indians right now are the most dangerous team in the city. HF ik HF With ole' King Football fading into the background most of the Toledo schools have begun basketball practice. Several of the schools have the makings of powerful quintets including DeVilbiss and Central. 8 1 1 The Toledo all star Federation team was practically an all Woodward elev- en.

For years Woodward fans wondered whether we'd win a city foot- ball game. Scott fans are now doing the same thing.

On the evening of the aforementioned date the Bears will play Elmore, Ohio, on their home grounds. The mass meeting will consist of the introduction of the coach, team, co- cap- tains Irv Wisneiwski and Curt Ransome, and Wilson Weis, coach of the basket- ball reserve squad. Walter Bonkowski is chairman of the affair. Leo Robie is adviser of the club. Four Returning Letter Men Begin Preliminary Training With four returning lettermen and a host of reserves as material Homer Hanham has begun basketball practice for the coming year. The Bears, last years co-champs, have been practicing for about two weeks now and will be in good shape for the opening tilt with Elmore. The four returning veterans are Wis- niewski, Ransome, Sloan, and Jagod- zinski. Jagodzinski is not out, being under the supervision of a doctor, but is expected to report soon after the sea- son gets rolling. Among the reserves coming up are: Payak, Long, Seymour, Knierim, Mill- er, Eaton, Carns, Jule Duharh, and Scharer. Woodward lost two players, Kelmer and Windhovel to Vocational. These boys played freshman ball here and were looked upon as likely prospects. The rest of the city teams have be- gun practice with both Central and DeVilbiss shaping up strong. Zientek Elected To Captain American's Bowling Squad Frank Zientek, ca. tain of the 1941- 1942 American bovgling .squad, was again selected to the same post at a meeting of the bowling league last Monday. Taking over responsibilities of the National bowlers are co-captains George Abdelnour and Walter Bon- kowski. The bowling season will open this Saturday at the Auditorium Alleys with. the Americas teeing off against DeVilbiss and the Nat's against the dangerous Central high quintet. The line-up for the Americans will prob- ably find Norman Sobecki as lead-off man followed by Irv Wisniewski, Roger Whier, Frank Zientek and anchored by Bob Wysocki. The Na- tional starters are more or less an un- certainty yet, but George Abdelnour and Walter Bonkowski are to lead oft' and anchor their team respectively. Jim Tarsha, Jim Swaya and Wal- lace Gail are expected to fill in the vacancies in the National line-up.

GOAL SET AT 32,000 FOR STAMP DRIVE Sales Start November 30g Will Continue Until December 7 Woodwards student council, in its effort to aid the war, has set a goal of 32000 in its two week stamp sales drive starting Monday, November 30 when pledge slips will be distributed to all first hour classes. Stamps will be sold before school and during first hour in the booth out- side the ofiice by student council mem- bers. Ten, twenty-five, fifty, one and five dollar stamps and books will be available. Stamps bought during first hour will be purchased through a home room representative who in turn will pur- chase them from the student council member at the booth. When asked what the goal is, Miss Dorothea Bishop, adviser of Student Council said, Ten cents a week isn't too much for every student to pledge and those boys and girls that are working will probably want to buy stamps of larger denominations. We must remember that the more stamps we buy the more ammunition, and tanks we can send to the boys at the front and that is what we need to win this war. Remember every stamp, whether it is ten cents or five-dollars, helps. We must remember that we're helping ourselves too. Every three dol- lars we invest, at the end of ten years, will have a value of four dollars. 1 -...lli Beginners Journalism Class Journeys To Warren School Members of the sixth hour beginners journalism class journeyed to Warren School Monday, November 22 to watch a performance given by the students in the special radio production which is under the direction of Miss Dorothy Kellogg.

Vol. XV Toledo, Ohio, December 4, 1942 No. 11 BARTOLETT, BOOS IN RADIO PROGRAM Two Members From Each High School Discuss Education Jacqueline Bartolett, senior, and Doris Boos, junior, represented Wood- ward in a symposium on the subject, Vocational Education In a War and Post War World, this morning in the auditorium of Macomber Vocational high school from 9:30 to 10:55. This symposium was part of the convention of the American Vocational Associa- tion, members of which comprised the audience. Two papers were read by Whitney and Macomber students, respectively. Following their reading, two pupils from each Toledo high school building participated in the discussion of the papers. This is where Miss Bartolett and Miss Boos came in. The discussion lasted 50 minute. After the symposium of students, the Honorable John W. Bricker, Gov- ernor of Ohio, spoke. Following him was Grove Patterson, editor of the Toledo Blade. n The Vocational Education Associa- tion hss convened for the past week at the Toledo Vocational schools. This meeting climaxed the convention. Miss Helen Marie Griffin and Mrs. Dorothy Matheny are the advisers of the group from which Woodward's rep- resentatives were chosen. Six pupils were sent to the Board of Education-- three from the script writing class, and three from the speech classes, where the participants were selected by Harry Lamb, head of the radio department of Toledo schools. Student Journalism Class Visit Radio Production Group Twenty-five budding journalists and Mrs. Marie Ersig journeyed to Warren School where the Radio Production Workshop is located. Upon their arrival at Warren School, they were taken on a tour of the studio by the efficient Dave Wynn, public relations man of the class. After becoming familiar with the mechanism of the workshop, the visitors settled down to watch the re- hearsel of the weekly show. This week the play was The Funeral of General Von Blatz, and what the visitors saw was a dress rehearsel climaxing a week of hard work. Everyone had a job to dog from the lead to a sound effect. Everyone offered criticism, and even though they had re- hearsel an entire week new suggestions were being made at the eleventh hour. Miss Dorothy Kellogg, though the teacher, only makes comments when the students had overlooked something. The ingenious sound effects also im- pressed the visitors, especially when they found that they were home made. Miss Kellogg commented that they did the best they could with the limited meansg judging by their Tuesday broad- casts they do very well. Sam Gallo of Scott and Charles Myneder of Woodward are employed in part time jobs at WTOL. This among other things shonld prove the worth of the raido class. All of the visitors went home with a fine impression of this talented group. Woodward Appears In V. E. C- Woodwavd is well represented in the Vocational Educational Convention. The industrial arts departments have sent works of students, which are dis- glayed in the Glidden paint store win- ow. TIMMEL SUBMITS BEST SOPH. ESSAY Susan Timmel, sophomore, submit- ted the following essay which brought her top honors of her class. Sophomore runners-up were Sue Cheney, Beverly Hill, and Anna Mary McFaren. The winner of each class will receive four 25 cent defense stamps for their effort. Other winners and their essays will appear in a later issue of the Tattler. The sound of gunfire. Crys, shots, and ---- silence. Another American boy gone, never to return. Why? You can- not fight an armed enemy with an empty gun and your bare hands. The stamps and bonds you buy are the very ones converted into bullets, bayo- nets, and guns. The very ones that save the lives of many boys. The stamps or bonds that help make ships, airplanes, and tanks. You couldn't think of a better way right now or any time, to save your money and help win this war, than by buying bonds. Only eighteen dollars and seventy five cents that becomes a part of a tank, ship, or airplane and later comes back to you in the form of twenty five dollars! When you buy bonds you are provid- ing security for yourself and family. You are helping the boy next door, your son, the fellow that used to live across the street. Stamps and bonds will be good as long as you keepin- vesting in them. They will prevent in- flation becanse the more money you put into them, the less you will have to spend on many unnecesary things. This will keep the price of goods down. In case money value should be changed, your bonds would be your life saver. So, go to your postofiice today. Buy .war bonds and more bonds! WHATS YOUR OPINION?

Woodward Shops Affected By Gas Rationing Program The rationing ofgasoline has affected the operation of the shops here at Woodward since the majority of them cannot operate without using gasoline. The auto mechanics will need the lar- gest supply. They will use approximate- ly four gallons a week for testing auto- mobile engines. The machine shop, woodshop, and electricians will use about one gallon each per week. The ma- chine shop will use gas solely for clean- ing purposes, while both the woodshop and the electricians will use theirs in blow torches and cleaning purposes. Mr. Hugh Montgomery's print shop will use one gallon each week for cleaning. The total ration will be about seven gallons per week and the shops will receive a ration book using it collec- tively. I All applications for gas to the ration- ing board were made by C. C. LaRue. W R BO D DRI E BEGINS HEXTRA PURCHASES OF STAMPS, BONDS TO CILIMAX DECEMBER 7 TEACHERS ENGAGED IN SHARE THE RIDE The share-the-ride plan which has been urged by the government in 'order to conserve rubber, has been adopted by the greater part of Wood- ward's faculty. The healthful exercise of walking is being carried on every day by Miss Annie Wetterman, William Rohr and Arnold Brown. Buses are transport- ing Miss Belle Joseph, Miss Grace Cronk and Joy Mohrhardt. The lar- gest group of teachers riding to- gether is four. They are Mrs. Marie Ersig alternating cars with Mrs. Lois Draves, who transport Mrs. David Brown and Miss Edith Murphy. The threesomes sharing are Miss Camilla Savage, Miss Betty Nelson and Miss Stella Sawtelle. Miss Dorothea Bish- op, Mrs. Lola Bowyer and Miss Hazeltong Miss Marjorie Hamilton, Miss Bertha Vermilya and Mrs. Hazel McManamon take turns by the weekg Mrs. Grace Kellermeir, Miss Eleanor Murphy and Mrs. Marian Smith. The pairs that partake in this plan are Miss Mary Boyles and Mrs. Mary O'Brien, Floyd Lords and O. M. Thompson, David McMurray and Raymond Sheline, Miss June Ander- son and Miss Dorothy Warner, who will alternate with Mrs. Leu aft-er the rehearsals for the Christmas play are overg Mrs. Eula Upp and Miss Grace Cutler, Miss Amie Miller and Miss Angela Abair, Clyde Meek and Elmer Vorderburg, Miss Helen Marie Grif- fin and Miss Katherine Tobin, Jo- seph Dence and Miss Minette Sengal. Due to the fact that Miss Bessie Werum is a traveling teacher, she is unable to participate in the afore- mentioned plan. ' Many teachers also transport pu- pils, families and wives to and from school and work. Some teachers who are not sharing their cars as yet plan to in the near future.

LaRue Buys First War Bond From President Of Council Climaxing the intensive war- bond and stamp sales drive which began November 30 and will continue until December 11, will be the observance of the first anniversary of Pearl Har- bor Day, December 7. As an indvidual observance each member of the stu- dent body and faculty is expected to purchase extra stamps in addition to those which they have already pledged to buy. This drive is being sponsored by the Woodward student council. Their sales goal is set for at least fB2,000, but they intend to sell enough stamps fipd bonds to purchase three jeeps to aid the. war effort. This point was emphasized when a jeep was displayed on the opening day of the campaign. ltnwas the same machine which in- SUIT!-':d Libbey High School to pur- chase two jceps. The student council feels that Woodward will top Lib- beV's contribution to our victory. On Monday pledges were distribu- ted to each first hour class. Students were urged to pledge as great an amount as they felt capable of. A double assembly period was held on Thursday, entitled A Jeep for MacArthur . The meeting was held to promote sales. Bonds were sold by Student Council President Betty Os- good to C. C. LaRue. the office work- ers and the faculty. Students who are descendants of conouered countries and warring nations told what the purchase of bonds and stamps mean to them. A member of the armed forces spoke. Patriotic music was sup- plied by Norman Abood's orchestra and Harriet Korski. Morning announcements stressed the fact that students should purchase war bonds for their neighbors, rela- tives and friends who would not oth- erwise buy them. During the first hour a representative from each class may make purchases for the people who didn't make their purchases be- fore school. Bonds can be ordered through Miss Dorothea Bishop. Students are urged to enter the essay contest being held to promote sales. Why Buy War Bonds and Stamps? Prizes for the four win- ning essays will be one dollar in war savings stamps. The winning entries will be published in the Tattler. Various committees in charge of the sales campaign are: Publicity, Don Weber, who is assisted by Rich- ard JOSSDTIZ pledges, Betty Hansen: essays, Betty Osgood, and morning announcements, Joe Hascal, Winnie Buckley and Ramona Carr.

Have you contribu- ted your share? The drive for selling United States War bonds and stamps in high school has bogged down miserably. High school students have the mistaken idea that their small contribution won't make much difference one way or the other. No matter what you invest, no matter how small it may be, when added to others like it, it will make a sizable sum. Ten per cent of your income is your quota. Ten per cent isn't a high price for America, America and all it means to you. Buying bonds isn't giving, it's investing. The amount you invest indicates how much faith you have in the future of democ- racy. Everyone doing their part is important. Unity is one of the strongest bulworks of democracy. In the words of one of our county's greatest men, Abra- ham Lincoln, United we stand, divided we fall. Do your share. Invest ten per cent of your income in bonds and stamps. Heard At The Deans Ofhce VERI-IEARD.in Mr. Meek's oflice: What are you going to do when you have to be on the job at 7 a.m.? How are you going to feel when Unce Sam calls you at 5 a.m. or earlier? That's right, kids, what are you goiing to do when the bugle blares out reveille if you oan't make it to school at 9 a-m.? There is certainly no excuse for tardiness on the part of anyone----girls included. We are almost full grown adults and it is about time we became aware of the great responsibil- ities ahead of us Many weighty problems will face us in the future and a habit of punctuality will aid us extensively. Maintain Friendly Spirit OODWARD has had a reputation of friend- liness. We are slipping. New-comers are not shown the doormat with 'welcome' in capital letters, an-d they are not at fault. We are. We must go over backwards to eliminate that lost feeling they possess. Woodward must retain 'that reputation. In the near future, people will be entering Wood- ward.

I guess I didn't look much like a baby. In fact, father hit me three times with a fly-swatter before he realized I was his son and heir. Then he hit Mother with a fly-swatter.

RECEIVES CONTRIBUTIONS tense FRoM WOODWARD STUDENT BODY Yes, the U.S.O. had some bananas on Thanksgiving Day, and not only bananas, but many other goodies, thankss to the successful drive for contributions conducted by Miss Grace Cronk, head of the welfare depart- ment. Baskets poured in first and second hours on Wednesday, November 25, big baskets, little baskets and medium sized baskets. All articles donated' were too numerous to mention, but the largest donations are as follows' Mrs. Hazel McManamon's home room managed to squeeze bananas, ciga- rettes and a book, Post Stories of 1941, into their already heading bas- ket. The Tattler staff filled a bushel with grapes, pears, oranges, apples, potato chips and English walnuts. Miss Marion Larkin's first hour study sent two large baskets, a tempting cake included in one, while her sec- ond hour Everyday Living class sent up two packed boxes. Ruth Damraur struggled up the stairs with a bushel of rosy apples, onl yto find they would have to be carried right back down again. Miss Anne Wetterman's German club, Everyday Living club and Good Citizens club each filled some large boxes. Special attention must be given to Miss Angela Abair's Home Economics classes. They turned up with light and dark fudge, chocolate dipped marshmallows and dozens of assorted cookies including oatmeal, chocolate ! and sugar cookies. The materials used for this were obtained from dona- tions. Miss Mary Buck and Mrs. Freda McDonald busied their classes with candy making. Miss June Anderson's senior girls filled very prettily decorated baskets with more goodies. Miss Cronk's first hour class decorated the baskets and packed them. They also made three dozen delicious popcorn balls. Miss Edith Murphy contributed S2, a box and some sugar. Miss Bertha Vermilya also sent a basket of good- ies. From the cafeteria came baskets, candy and cookies. Eleven dollars col- lected were by Miss Abair's class for the future use of the U.S.O. Miss Gertrude Kanney and Miss Bertha Vermilya worked at the U.S.O. center. These donations were delivered to the U.S.O. headquarters by Dick Fo- ran, Gus Alemenos, Walter Stobinski and Clayton McCreery. Gen. Mac Arthur's Picture Purchased To Adorn Office Adorning the main ofhce, along with pictures of Lincoln and Washington,is a picture of General Douglas Mac.

Goodall Given Party Miss Josephine Goodall, former su- pervisor of science who has recently re- tired, was given a going-away party at the Women's Building, November 24. Miss Dorothy Pasch, Miss Marjorie Hamilton, Miss Katherine Tobin, and Miss Grace Cutler attended the party, while other teachers that were unable to attend contributed towards a fare- well gift for Miss Goodall. Miss Bertha Vermilya's first hour class recently had a party to celebrate their success in passing their goal set at two hundred dollars in the maga- zine campaign. Charles Sandlin was program chairman. TATTLER REPORTERS ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES IN TERVIEWING- HOPE By Bob Hallett Bob Hope, famous comedian, and Jerry Colonna, his number one stooge, were interviewed by yours truly and his sister on November 25, at the Paramount theater. When discovering that the come- dians were in town, the daring sleuth, Dolores Hallett, and her brother slid through the stage door of the Para- mount and for thirty minutes in and between acts victimized the stars. Time was short but what this scribe noticed about Bob Hope was the ruddy complextion of his skin which wasn't make-up, the easy and fluent manner in which he spoke and his imperturable way of acting. Jerry Colonna's outstanding features were his long, black mustache, which his grandfather was to have inspired and his large, rolling eyes Jerry, born in Boston, Mass., has he became a musician early in life, playing the trombone. Years later he acquired a mustache and joined the Pepsodent show. When asked how he been in the show business 20 years enjoyed acting with Hope, Mr. Co- lonna stated, There's never a dull moment. He commented that it takes six script writers to compose a single script for each program. Recently the entire cast journeyed to Alaska for a benefit show for the boys in the armed forces. Bob Hope, born in London, Eng- land and in show business all his life, stated that he was thrilled and happy to be in Toledo. When asked how he enjoyed acting with such stars as Dorothy Lamour and Paulette God- dard, etc., Hope commented that they are really beautiful and curvacious. By Jack Reichman Interviewing a celebrity such as Bob Hope is a difficult task for an experienced reporter, but for a begin- ner-well, read further and find out how a beginner tried to interview Bob Hope. Mr. Hope, on making his stage en- trance, was very rudely interrupted by this same beginner hurrying back stage to see him, and a stream of irate language fell on the now frightened would-be journalist. The discouraged interviewer hurried back to his seat and hid his head in shame. After the show hope revived in this determined fellow, and he hur- ried to the stage door in an effort to catch Mr. Hope before he left. Due to the crowd, he couldn't even get near him, and he decided to trail the elusive Mr. Hope to the hotel. At the Commodore Perry Hotel the determined interviewer found that his prey hadn't arrived yet, and he sat down to wait. At last the long- sought Mr. Hope arrived and the be- ginner, not letting this opportunity slip through his fingers, quickly ad- dressed Mr. Hope and asked him for an interview. Feeling quite merry after his suc- cessful time on the stage, Mr. Hope spoke to this insignificant character, the budding journalist. He said: Later, sonny, later! You sit down and wait and I'll speak to you later. The naive beginner thought he had the interview in the bag and began to think pleasant thoughts. The poor sucker waited till 2:30 A. M., and then patience exhausted, he left his hard-sought prey. If nothing else, these words should show you how not to interview a celebrity. mrxobucmc Vern Baer fThe scene of Vern's interview was the Hall. Halls are terribly p u b lic places. Therefore, please pardon the interruptions because oodles .and ood- les of people walked in and out of this interview.J After I had rescued him from Con- current' forces in 126, John Vernon Baer, just call him Ham, stated he had dreams of becoming a class oiiiicer since his greenhorn days. fWhat time is it?J Though Vote for me, and I'll vote for you was his motto, this Gra- nada usher, janitor and handyman sta- ted, 'fl would like to call a meeting of everyone who ran for president.

He is one lad who believesin the old adage, Variety is the spice of life. Though he was silent when asked who would decorate his arm at the senior prom, Vern turned a beautiful to- matoe red.

Lois Frankowski, Ida Remer, Judged First Choice In Classes One dollars worth of war stamps will be awarded to Lois Ann Frank- owski, senior, and Ida Remer, junior, whose essays on Why Buy War Bonds and Stamps, were judged first choice Ott, senior, was second, and Charles Myneder, senior, came in third. Bar- bara Marquardt was second choice in the junior class. The prize winning senior essay is as follows: United States Triumphs Over Japs In Solomons, is something of the type of headlines streaming our daily papers in recent days. Yes, it was a victory, and a very important one at that. But, stop to consider a few facts involved in this battle. How many bombs were used in this en- counter? How many braves lost their lives fighting for our freedom? Answers to these questions are, with- out doubt, military secrets, but in our own hearts and minds we know what they must be. lt is said that an army or navy is only as good as its equipment. With- out the slightest hesitation we all, as loyal Americans, want our armed forces to surpass all others in strength and endurance. They need the most modern equipment in the 'world, and it is the most ardent desire of our government to see that it is obtained, naturally with the coopera- tion of every loyal citizen of this great country. When a victory is gained, feel that you have done your share in pro- moting it. Fifty per cent of the na- tional income is needed for this war. Do your share. Don't let just a few foot the bill. Yes, They also serve who only stand and wait, if they purchase their quota of bonds and stamps to bring about a final victory which shall be ours. This is the winning junior essay: When I buy War Bonds and Stamps I feel that I am buying what every other American is doing or trying to do. I feel that I owe it to my country to put as much money as I can into bonds and stamps now, not only be- cause it is being called for, but be- cause, when this war is over and we have won, I'll be proud to know that my loan helped to win it. Compared to what our boys in the service are sacrificing and going through, I feel that I am doing but a small part. in their respective classes.

Highlighting the program, Clarence Ball, director of the Glee Club, sang This Is Worth Fighting For, with an emotion which was transferred to the entire group. The program ended by everyone standing and singing Anchors Aweigh, after which a note of si- lence prevailed. As taps was sounded, a prayer of hope was sensed through- out the audience and sober-faced stu- dents filed from the auditorium.

This has been the progress of the United States of America. This progress speaks of one thing--the strength and courage which brought the United States through the crisis of thfe first World War. Now, as before, a second call to arms has been issued, and those who have answered it are doing their full share in keeping this the same free land of liberty that it has always been. We on the home front are doing a little, but not enough! There is one sure way that every man, woman, and child can help in winning this war. Spare dimes and dollars could go for no better cause than War Stamps and Bonds. As long as we keep our money rolling in this direction, our boys in the service can keep tanks and jeeps rolling on the battle fronts. Let's reach our goal of 352,000, Woodward's share of the S9,000,000,000 drive in Toledo! Christmas Carol Comes To Woodward O BE presented again for our pleasure, is the production of Charles Dickens' Christmas Car- ol by Miss Dorothy Warner's dramatic class. This fine play will be reproduced especially for the freshman class. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors should well recall last year's excellent portrayals of the life-like characters in this eminent play. The plan is to have a yearly performance for freshmen. In that way the line spirit of the Christ- mas Carol may prevail through every Christmas season. Although the play has been presented for years, it has never been called stale or the same old thing. This is partly due to the excellent pro- ductions of the dramatics class and partly because Woodward Christmas wouldn't be the same with- out it. Make A Date For Monday HREE races and twenty-eight nationalties are represented at Woodward. Racial issues and the peace will be discussed at the radio forum December 14. In the past,these forum have been sad- ly neglected by Woodward. This topic should reach the heart of every pupil, be he caucasion, mongolian, or negroid. Monday night Woodward should be represented by every race and nationality in Woodward. All those with pride in their race and nationality will be there. Don t depend on George, be there your- self. Represent your school, your nationality, and your race.

Markowski THE WOODWARD TATTLER ALUMNI STOPPED BY BEAR QUINTET Present Woodward Squad Wins Over Champions Of Last Year Woodward's Polar Bears surprised everyone in the Woodward gym last Friday when they scored a sparkling up set win over a scrappy Alumni five. Fr rn the opening whistle things looked bad for the Bear varsity, for the fast passing grads hit twice before the Bears got rolling. Wisniewski hit a beautiful one hand fielder from be- yond the toul line, and a fast, rough first quarter ended with the Alumni holding a slim 7-5 lead. In the second quarter the Bear's hei :ht under the basket began to tell, and despite a game effort the Alumni could not match Miller, Payak, and Wisniewski, and slowly fell behind. However, Kornowa was on and the half ended with the ole grads still very much in the ball game trailing 19- 12. The third quarter was a battle of de- fenses and once again the Bears held a slight edge. Payak continued to hit and Woodward boosted a 23-13 lead as the teams squared off for the fourth stanza. This being a young season there may be Wilder fourth quarters played, but it's our guess that Bear patrons will wait a long time to see one. The desperate Alumni began finding the Woodward basket with unerring accuracy. With Dave Kornowa giving an amazing shooting demonstration, the Bear lead was slowly whittled away. Woodward clung to a slim 31-29 lead with a minute left to play. Then the eager Alumni, anxious to get the tying points, charged down fioor leav- ing their basket unguarded. Co-cap- tain Curt Ransome slipped behind the Alumni defenses, took a sharp pass, and flipped an easy lay-up shot which buried the Alumni victory hopes. X ' v i I fn V . . fff 'ml,f!. ,A .IM -Yu..

Dear Mr. LaRue, It would be impossible for me to tell you how deeply touched I was when I received a Christman from Woodward High 'School the other day. I have never seen a nicer watch or one more suited to the beating it will take here. Will you please pinch hit for me and thank the faculty and student body for their marvelous gift. I wish I could tell you that I am per- forming heroic deeds and saving the world for dsmocracy, but so for most of my time has been spent on guard duty, K. P., and rasing a crop of blis- ters while digging. I imagine that will give some of my ex students a good laugh. There is very little news I am able to write except that I am in the best of health. I have missed being with you this year, and I hope before another year is over the war will end and I will be able to return. Wishing you and everybody at Woodward a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I remain As ever, J . H. Taylor.

Waite Floor To Be Scene Of Opening League Battle Hanham The Woodward Bears will be out for their first city win when they meet the Waite Indians tonight on the East- sider's floor. The Bears thus far have two wins. They,ve trimmed Elmore and the Wood- ward Alumni. The Indians have beaten Holland and Scott. This is Chuck Chuckovitts' first year as coach of Waite. Chuckovitts has giv- en up his professional basketball career to coach the Indians, and thus far has had a successful season with Waite looking strong in both their contests. New blood has brought new life to the Indian squad. Homer Hanham's boys will feature their usual fast break and quick pass. The Bears have a pair of great players and shots in Irv Wisniewski and John Payak. Inman, center for the Indians is ex- pected to run up a high score. The defeat of Central by Macomber 36-31 has thrown the city race wide open. The mechanics area very strong outfit in every department, particularly defense. So far, at this early point in the season, Central, Scott, and Libbey have been beaten. Waite and DeVilbiss each have a city win to their credit. The Waite contest is Woodward's first city game. A win for either the Bears or Indians can make a big differenence in the standing. i Woodward Pinsters Loose Three To Mechanic Keglers Woodward's American bowling team was handed three defeats in as many starts last Saturday by the high flying Macomber quintet. Bowling individual games of 720, 816, and 770 the Bears could not cope with the 727, 843, and 783 Mechanic entries. Again as in previous weeks the Wood- ward team was minus the activities of two of their regulars because they failed to be present at 10:00 o'clock, the starting time. A freshman doing comparatively well is Norman Sobecki, who again leads the home team in indivdual contribu- tions. Rolling games of 143, 188, and 161 he fell eight pins short of the 500 mark. Norman Sobecki, Andy Matusiewicz, Roger Weiher, Irv Wisniewski, Frank Zientek, Bob Wysocki, and Walter Bdnkowski all participated in the Macomber encounter. The first plates have arrived for the Saga. They consist of the pre- sentation, forward and dedication pages of the yearbook. Reports indi- catlei that the plates turned out Very we . TATTLE A For this coming week the noon movie is to be The Remarkable An- drew. The movie, starring Brian Donlevy, William Holden, and Ellen Drew, is another one of those zany ghost stories with the accent on mer- riment rather!! thank horrkor. Here are some additions to last week's list of Woodwardites who plan to embark on the seething sea of mat- rimony in the near future. Jacquie Bartolett has revealed her'engage- ment to Ted Nowak, a Woodward grad now in the army, and Donna Clouse, grad of '40, has become the fiancee of Kenneth Hansen, grad of '39, who is ink the xarrnyx signal corps. The Zets have begun selling candy at the basketball games. Lois Ann Frankowski is chairman of the com- mittee in charge of the sales. The profits are to be donated to the ath- letic fund. This job was previously the responsibility of the Engineering society under W. F. Rohr's super- vision. ak X Y There were 1137 Tattlers sold last week. This compared with the sales totals of the past few weeks, shows that sales haze dropped? lk In order to give his classes a better understanding of the reptilian world, Floyd Lords, science instructor, showed a very interesting movie on reptiles to all his classes on Decem- ber 1. uk ak ak Miss Camilla Savage's everyday living classes have organized a hobby club. George Marks is president, with Bruce Legtmeyer as vice-president, and Emma Henry as secretary. The club will be divided into groups or sections, each section having its own particular hobby. There will be a reading group, a collectors' group, and a dramatic groupzk wk PK While the entire freshman class is enjoying the presentation of The Christmas Carol in the auditorium next week, the seniors, juniors, and sophomores will take advantage of the C schedule to have parties in their classrooms, playing games, and sing- ing Christmas cargls. if BK Kenneth Osthimer, who spoke at the war stamp rally Thursday, was a member of the Tattler staff of 1929. FK 14 HF Whenever Miss Angela Abair catches one of her boys chewing gum in class, the culprit has to deposit two cents in a little bank as a penalty. The money collected through this method is used for a patriotic pur- pose. It is used to buy war stamps, of course. HK lk 44 While taking the Tattler staff's pic- ture last week, O. M. Thompson re- vealed that he carries about a camera gadget worth twenty-five dollars. It is a very little gadget for so much money, but Mr. Thompson vows it is a wonderful thing and worth its price. Incidentally since through this ar- ticle everyone knows of the valuable and costly gadget, we suggest Mr. Thompson hire a guard. PF lk Pk l In his first hour class, Paul Thomae, industrial arts instructor, raffles off a dollar's worth of defense stamps every week. ik Sk ill The committee chosen for the an- nual Tattler Christmas party consists of Evelyn Cieslewski, Alice Dyer, Beatrice Bialecki, Norman Wolfe, Walter Bonkowski, and Suzanne Loerke. The party will be held dur- ing the performance of the Christ- mas Carol.

O., simi- lar to th-e one made at Thanksgiving time, will be made for the Christmas holidays, starting Monday, December 14, and continuing to Friday, Decem- ber 18. Contributions will be made through the home rooms. Students may bring fruit, cookies, nuts, popcorn and other goodies. From all materials brought, Miss Angela Abair's an ,E Mrs. Freda McDonald's cooking classes will make candy and cookies. Contributors are urged to bring home made cookies and candy, since these lead the service men's lists. As to fruit, bananas are prefered. A n-ew system will be used, by which the food will be put into indi- vidual bags, then packed in decorated baskets and boxes. Each room will specify the number of bags they will endeavor to fill. Each will contain a variety, fruit, candy, cookies, nuts. The goal has been filled bags. The extra be placed in onebox, given with the rest. will be sent to the USO center, from which it will be distributed, some be- ing sent to the Union Station. Miss Grace Cronk is in charge of this project. As before, reports of the progress of the collection will be sent to her, on which home rooms will list the materials collected. Banquet Place Cards Made By Commercial Art Class Football numbers appeared on the menu-place cards at the annual foot- ball banquet Wednesday night. Pupils of Miss June Anderson's commercial art classes were responsi- ble for the colorful place cards. The air-brush, purchased this year by the Art Klan, was put into use for this, and also another project. The other project is the Christmas menu cov-ers for the Naval Training School. Miss Anderson's Art V classes, which received the request from the Board of Education, are now at work on the menus. Still another project of Miss An- ierson's classes are the posters which are to be used for the student coun- cil war stamp and bond drive. Her senior classes have volunteered to make them. Scott Pupils Present One Act Comedy To Woodward The Little Darling, a one act come- dy, was presented by the Drama Work- shop of Scott High School this morn- ing during the assembly.

American Legion Band Now Under Direction Of L. Clark L.C. Clark, Woodward's curricular ac- tivities chief, is now directing the Vernon-McCune Post band. This organization of 35 pieces has the distinction of being the only American Legion Band of its kind in the country. Mr- Clark not only directs but also at times plays the trombone and bass. The Legionairres 'have played 104 times in the last year before civic bodies, in parades, and other activities of this nature. Mr. Clark has been associated with the band for 12 years. mrkonucme Richard Joseph I It seems as though all people try to dodge our interviews. I caught this guy munching sandwiches and check- ing hall passes. Our victim this week is Richard Joseph,newly elected sophomore presi- dent. Dick first saw light in our own Toledo. Gaining his wide field of know- ledge in Stickney, he entered Wood- ward. Mr. Joseph is very active in school activities. Assistant hall guard captain vice-president of Hi-Y, Dramatics, ex- ecutive committee of the Victory Corps a member of the City Youth Council, active in Radio Production at Warren school, and other organizations, com- prise his social life. Speech class and all political as- pects are among the many things he enjoys about Woodward. He likes to collect old and foreign coins also. The Sophomore president revealed that only two committees, social and services, will be in function this year, because they have failed other years. The Sophomore class will do any- thing that it possibly can to help America gain total victory, stated Richard when this little scribe quizzed him on the subject.

Bitter Helps War Stamp Campaign by Submitting Map In cooperation with the Student Council's Defense Stamp campaign, A. R. Bitter, electrical instructer, had charge of making a map showing our allies and the stamps from their country. The map, costing three dollars, was purchased by the Electrical Society and put in the back of the trophy case. The co u ntries of the United Nations are marked by a flag of that country by fastening a ribbon to the side of the map with a stamp of the respective country at the end. Ida Reamer supervised the fasten- ing of the iiags. A bond, purchased by C. C. LaRue, is to be placed in the case, along with other books containing stamps.

Now that it has been organized, what are we doing about it? When you read of the drives to collect scrap met- al, paper, rugs, and stamps, of other schools, it makes you wonder if you ARE IN the right school. Woodward is no small school. It can, with a little pushing, turn in twice as much as Libbey or DeVilbiss. If our leaders are afraid to take the initiative, why don't we students show them that we are behind them--willing to support whatever they attempt to further the war effort All those interested in going ahead with some campaigns, write a reply to my letter. Together we standg divided we fall. A disgusted senior. WOODWARD TATTLER errng Qilflappg .

It radiates warm laughter, good fellowship' tolerance, and understanding of fellow men. It is the intangible something that lifts the mo- rale of our boys who are fighting on the far Hung battle fronts of the world, that helps wives and sweethearts to patiently and faithfully wait for the return of those who are so dear to them, and it is the constant courage of these wives and sweet- hearts and boys who bravely force a smile through unshed tears. It is the backbone of America, the invincible defender which no material adversary can overcome. It is that force which encourages hope in the hearts of conquered peoples. Love isimbedded in the heart of every American. It has been handed down from one generation to another and it has experienced great battles and struggles, but always it has survived. This Christmas the spirit of love will radiate from the hearts and minds of every man, woman, and child, and will shine forth with all its brilliance and splendor. During the coming year it will lift us from depths of pathos and despondence, will show us that hope is never lost, and will give us the courage to iight on to a victorious climax. Let's Be Happy This New Year! ANUARY 1, 1943. The inauguration of a new year. A year of problems and trials for you and yours. A year of laughter and triumph for all peoples. Youth in this war period is being faced with stupendous problems which will hurry them to manhood and womanhood prematurely. The past years trials have been met successfully in most cases and boys and girls have bounced back smiling. - With the lowering of the draft, war has come closer to the high school pupils' heart. This period of stress in your life will make better men and women of you. Take the coming trials with a big smile and prove this generation in this coming year will write a big chapter in world history. Work For Nation Profit HIS YEAR, due to the war, many students as well as teachers will work during the Christmas vacation. In this way they are helping to aid the war effort, the people of Toledo, and themselves. In these days of chaos, we must not be idle, but must expand every effort to help in any way we can. During the vacation, try to do something useful. Don't just remain idle. Work,and keep in step with the times. Then, when you come back to school, it won't be so hard to get into the routine again, and, the best part is, you'll have some extra money to buy war stamps and bonds, with. Keep them Fly- ing!

OUNT LYOF N. TOLSTOI wrote many short stories about the peasants of Southern Russia. All of these show his broad understanding of human nature, which is basically the same in Rus- sia as in America. One of his best stories is called Three Arshins of Land or How Much Land Does a Man Need. I do not have space to do anything more than tell you the barest outline. If you are in- terested in the whole story ask for it in our Library. Pakhom the peasant through a period of time re- alized his ambition to become a landholder. But each piece of land he acquired only whetted his de- sire for larger holdings. He would hear of fertile land for sale in some distant part of the country and selling his present holdings he would move to the new country and acquire large areas. As he grew older the desire became more consuming. One day a traveling merchant told Pakhom of a country where for practically nothing one could get all the land one desired. Pakhom set out as quickly as possible and after a long journey reach- ed the land of the Bashkins. He bestowed gifts up- on the people and their chieftain who told him that all the traveling merchant's dazzling stories were true. In return tor one thousand rubles Pakhon could have all the land he oould walk around in one day. The only stipulations were that to complete the bargain the walker would have to return to his original starting point before sunset. Well, you can guess the ending of the story. Spurred by his greed, Pakhom walked so far that it was almost impossible for him to come back to his starting point in time. He did make it but died of exhaustion at the same time. The chief of the Bashkins laughingly bade his tribesmen dig a grave for Pakhom allowing him the customary three arshins of earth for his body. After all how much land does a man need.

Thus far the Bulldog has been decisively beaten in its first two starts. This would indicate a lack of good material, for Stackseder is a fine coach, and dangerous with even fair material. ik PK at Woodward's triplicate win over Waite's freshman, lightweight, and varsity, was a sad shock to East side fans who had expected big things this year. However, the Indians are plenty tough, and will figure import- antly in the ckity race, this year. Anvil Andy Farkas is now being acclaimed Toledo's outstanding con- tribution to football. Farkas lead the Washington Redskins in their upset victory over ,the vyauntebd Bears. Pre-season dopesters had it that Macomber was shaping up strongly, but surely no one expected the Me- chanics to unleash the devastating at- tack which, thus far, has carried them to four straight victories, in- cluding an upset win over Central. They can be listed as the first sur- prise in a season which promised to be the hottest in many 3. day. Short Items: Many of the schools are using the public address system at basketball games, to aid student conception. Jimmy Foltz, of Libbey, was named to the fApJ all Ohio team. U.C.L.A. will meet Sinkwich in the Rose Bowl. The Georgia team probably accompany F i r e b a l l Frankie. Selection Of All-City Team To Be Sponsored By Tattler For the first time in it's history the Woodward Tattler is sponsoring the selection of an all-city team, by the sports writers and coaches connected with Toledo High School football. T'4'Bal1ots will be mailed this week to sports personnell of each of the other Toledo high schools. Ballots will also be sent to Doc Spears, Bob French and the Sport's Editor of the Campus Collegian. The results of voting will be tabu- lated and the complete team will ap- pear in the first issue of the Tattler in 1943. POLAR BEARS BOW TO DeVILBISS NATS Keglers Slump To Tiger Onslaught as Only 8 Four Men Bowl Bowling totals of 561, 504, and 548, Woodward's National bowling squad was handed a tri-ple setback in 569, 615, and 567 DeVilbiss games. Although the Bears bowled with but four men the low score system did not take effect because the Tigers also had but four bowlers taking off to the foul line. A low series of 426 was tops for the Nats. Individual games of 144, 193 and 139 made up Captain Abdelnour's series. Warrick and Botek, DeVilbiss alleymen, were the big guns in the Tiger's scoring, shooting a 214 and a 215 respectively. Although Warrick was but a few maples short of the 500 mark, anchorman Botek followed through for a brilliant 538 series.

In case you don't know, Madonna Ort. Besides his interest in food and feminimity, Curt has been quite in athletics. Basketball is his favorite sport with cross country coming in second primarily as a conditioner. Curt is started oniore varsity in his junior year a regular starter at guard and co-captain of the squad. He with reserve ball in his soph- year and moved up to the is connected with the Tattler in that he works in the printshop, and handles much of its copy. Quizzed as to the team's chances Curt he gave the answer We've got a good scrappy team that wants to win ball games. As for tonight's game, we'll be out there fighting every minute. WILSON WEIS COACHES RESERVE SQUAD TO 15 GAME WIN MARGIN Lightweights Carve Excellent Record Under Coach Wilson W eis Woodward's amazing reserve squad won their fifteenth consecutive game by overwhelming the Waite reserves 40-17. The Bear Cubs had no difficulty at all with the Indian cagers as they kept their victory streak intact. Paul Seymour sparked the reserve attack as he hit from all over the court for 11 points. The Indians presented very little offense and a rugged de- fense that crumbled easily before the fast break of the cubs. In decisively defeating the East sid- ers the reserves gave evidence that they are out to better the record es- tablished .by last years championship team. They displayed a finely balanced attack which mixed up long shots, and quick set ups completely bewildering the Waite defense. Besides the dirnunitive Seymour others figured importantly in the win were Bob Harrison, who apart from his fine work under the basket, collected 10 points, Whitey Okorowski, speedy forward, picked up 7 points, Frank Sloan, and Howard Haynes, scrappy guards who collected 4 and 3 points, respectively, Sunny Lentz and Jim Nelson each with a fielder and Calvin DuHart with one free throw. WOODWARD CLASHES WITH MIGHTY LIBBEY QUINTET AT GAME TONIGHT Bears Depend On Wiz, Payak, And Long To Keep City Standing Intact Tonight Woodward meets the Lib- bey Cowboys. This game is import- ant in that it can either end seeing the Bears holding on to the city league lead or being knocked down and falling back with the pack. A win for Libbey will bring them back to the win column. Both squads look strong. The Bears look impressive, being unde- feated. They began the season by administering Elmore a severe beat- ing, moved past the alumni, and edged out Waite by one point last week. Libbey dropped their first city tilt to DeVilbiss and then bounced back to trim Scott last week. The Bears look good under the basket with Johnnny Payak and Irv Wisniewski hitting buckets from all angles. Surprise of the week is Peanuts Long's play last week against Waite. Long played a great defen- sive game also dumping some neat shots into the basket. If he can duplicate the feat tonight it will be a great help to Woodward. With both teams pretty well sized up on their play thus far this year the Bears have the edge. Of course the fact that Woodward has played only one city game may mean a lot, but to us they look just a bit stronger than Libbey. The Cowboy-Bear series has been one of the hottest in the league. Wooward took both games last year by a very slim margin. The Bears took the first game 23-21 and the second 21-20. Last year's games fea- tured some of the hardest, cleanest playing ever seen in these parts. The play-off at the fieldhouse also saw the Bears take a one point decision. The Cowboys under Bill Orwig have always been an outfit that threatened all the time. Last year they were without a doubt, the best ballhandlers in the city. Not having good shots on the squad spoiled their chances last year. The starting lineups are: Libbey Woodward J. Unger, f J. Payak, f L. Pete, f B. Long, f - F. Black, g C. Ransome, g F. Westfall, g T. Miller, g B. Yeach, c I. Wisniewski, c Game time is 8:15 in the Wood- ward gym. LONG-, WISNIEWSKI GIVE STELLAR SHOWING AS Bears Have Trouble Defeating East Side Indians In Hectic Battle Waite's abbreviated gym rocked to the sounds of a wild battle as Wood- ward, in quest of a second consecu- tive league title, opened their city campaign last Friday by staging a garrison finish to spill Waite's In- dians 37-36. Wall-eyed patrons of both schools who packed the East Side gym were treated to a stormy session of fire- wagon basketball, replete with argu- ments, dissenting score keepers, and more fouls than you could find on a poultry farm. The Bears, at a disadvantage in both height and knowledge of the floor, exploded fast. Long, Payak, and Wisniewski hit to give Wood- ward a seven-point lead, and Waite fans had heart failure before Inman connected to break the ice for the Indians. The play in the first quar- ter was alternatingly brilliant and ragged, with the stanza ending in a 12-12 d-eadlock. The Bears forged a lead early in the second period and through the efforts of Bob Long who literally pulled his taller opponents down to his size, and Irv Wisniewski, who Derformed mightily aroung the key- hole, clung to a shaky 19-17 lead at halftime. Tommy Inman, Indian forward, got hot and outdid all his previous ef- forts to spark the East Siders to a 30-28 lead, as the teams swing into the home stretch. BEARS BEAT WAITE Woodward fans then saw their hopes fade with the fading minutes for Waite, sensing a victory, seemed almost invincible as they built a 36-31 lead with two minutes left in the game. . The fourth quarter also saw Curt Ransome of Woodward, and Joe Hor- vath and Joe Kives of Waite, leave the game on personal fouls. Sloan entered the game at guard and Woodward began to move. Payak hit a quick fielder, and added a foul. Then with bedlarn reigning Wisniewski sunk a foul to make the score 36-35. Woodward again secured th-e ball' on a foul and for fully a half-minute wild mix-ups occurred in front of the Waite basket, as Woodward endeavored to score. Suddenly Long, flitting around his guard like an elusive ghost, dashed toward the basket, took WisnieWski's hasty pass and flipped the victory basket. Payak again paced his mates as he rung up 13 pointsg Wisniewski and Long followed, each with 11. Woodward C371 G Payak, f. ................... ............ . Lo.ng,f. ......

After graduation of students these cards will be kept in file to enable teach- ers to identify students when asked for references. LaRue Busy With Letters Principal C. C. LaRue has been kept busy with writing letters of recommen- dation for Woodward boys in service. About 150 requests for these letters and the school transcripts, which are records of grades and attendance, hgve been received and answered. Any boy in the armed forces that wants a pro- motion must have these records. 3 THE WOODWARD TATTLER CLUB MAKES BOOKS FOR DAY NURSERIES ..-11 Miss Kerlin's Class Forms Service Clubg U.S.0- Will Benefit The Service Clubf' an Organize tion formed by Miss .Ethel liellluts first hour everyday l1V1ng Cassi is doing more than its duty as 3' C a S ' t' - . orialxizaglobhe meetings, Whlch are held every Monday, th? ,C1a5S.mem' bers make books containing pictures of animals, sports, hobbies, and many th r subjects. 0 is these books are completed they are sent to day Uufsefles Sfhklihzlt they may be annoyed by me Chl ren who Stay there while their mothers are working in defense factories.

Lt. Boes, an above average student in Paul Thomaes' machine shop, grad- uated from Woodward in -1937. He enlisted in the regular army, Janu- ary, 1941 and received his commission during that year. Receiving his of- ficers training at Fort Benning Offi- cers' Training School, he entered the parachute battalion in'June 1942. H6 reported that the training was very rugged. Laughing about his first jump he said, I felt like a' -- fool' with butterflies fluttering in my stomach. I Lt. Boes is now stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Proceeds From Scott Play Buys Bond For Woodward Before an auditorium filled to its capacity with Woodward students, the Scott High School Drama Work- shop very capably presented a one- act comedy, The Little Darling, last Friday morning. The setting was in the living room of a typical American home. Char- acters in the play were Gessie fafter whom the com-edy was apparently namedj, very effectively portrayed by Pat Shererbno. Barbara Ketcham played the part of Violag Eleanor, Edith Fletcher, Mr. Manners, Bob Jonesg the maid, Frieda Millerg and the father, Gene Ramey. Due credit is given to the director of the presentation, Miss Frances Griffin of Scott, who is the sister of Miss Helen Marie Grifin. Proceeds, which totaled 358030, will be used to purchase a War Bond for Woodward. There are at the present time five cases of appendicitis reported among' the girls.

Well, I hurried downtown--I knew he was in any department store---I entered the first one I came to and there I met him. He was resting after a hectic morning with three year olds. He welcomed me joyfully so I rushed right up to him, planted a big osculation on his rosy cheek, and plunked myself into his huge lap. That is what Jack MacKenzie did when he eayv him, so why can't I. I didn't know what questions to ask him so I used . feminine strategy and told him to talk about himself. After all he is a man.

G At each table in the cafeteria will be located two pupils whose duty will be to see that all papers are thrown in the baskets, and all chairs at their table are pushed in. These students will serve during the month of January, and automatically will qualify for their emblem. Lois Ann Frankowski and Alice Dyer interviewed students during the fourth hour, and George Skaff and Ed Sloan had charge of this during the fifth hour. The new project will become ef- fective Monday, January 5, D after pupils return from their Christmas vacation. D Induction ceremony for Victory Corps officers, committee members, and students assisting with the check- ing of membership applications will be held in the auditorium on Tuesday, January 5. Seniors and juniors will be invited to attend. C. C. LaRue is contacting the parents sponsors in hopes that one might attend to address the group. Town Meetings Honored In the December seventh to eleventh issue of the Civic Training Toledo was in the spotlight and was honored for its city-wide use of junior town meetings. The front page was de- voted to the forum held recently in Toledo in which the topic Should a Federal World Government be Estab- lished After this War? was dis- cussed. Deans Okay Christmas Jobs The deans report that the Christ- mas jobs do not interfere with the schoolwork of the students. Many students go to most of their classes before noon and some have jobs after school. Although there are some who have not checked with the deans and do not go to any of their classes, these people when returning to school will receive blue slips. There were 1161 Tattlers reported sold last week. R. Sheline's Autobiography Will Appear In Who's Who The autobiography of Raymond She- line Jr., now a senior at Bethany Col lege, will appear in the College publica- tion, Who's Who Among Students In American Universities and Colleges. Only a few students from over 600 American Colleges and universities comprise the book, and since their en- tire scholastic record is considered, it is quite an honor. The publication will facilitate the securing of positions for students upon their graduation, and also give every consideration to those boys who will be drafted into the armed forces. The book will be published sometime in March. Raymond graduated from Woodward in 1939, and was prominent in many ac- tivities about school. He is the son of Raymond Sheline, Woodward science teacher. Christmas Cards Are Made For Soldiers By Red Cross Under the direction of Mrs. Mary O'Brien, the Red Cross has made 100 Christmas cards to be sent to Ft. Moultri, Georgia, Ft. Hayes, Colum- bus, and Camp Perry, Ohio. They will be given to the sick and bed- ridden soldiers at these places, so they can send them to their friends and relatives. These clever cards were made from bits of doilies, colored stars, metallic paper, and sparkle paper. The girls who worked on these cards Were: Marcella Henzler, Virginia Jakubow- ski, Jean Heimann, Joyce Henly, Mary German, Rosalie Farren, Pat Jano- wicki and Eleanor Nowak.

Sadie Szyskowski's Theme Wins Freshman Recognition Among the essays submitted by the freshmen, Sadie Szyskowski's' essay was judged first. To her will be awarded one dollar in defense stamps and to the three runners-up, James Blythe, Charlene Hamilton, and Bob Michalak, a ten cent war stamp. The winning essay is: In the skilled hands of the nation's workers rests the fate of 130,000,000 Americans. This war we are waging is being fought from many fronts. It is being fought from the home, and the farms, as well as on the field of battle. We are engaged in a great struggle to determine whether free people can preserve the democratic form of living together. If we fail, the result is slavery. We are dedicated to the gigantic task of making America strong. We must keep the wheels of industry turning and the dame of freedom burning brightly. We've all got to help finance this war. Never has America lacked pa- triots willing to make physical or financial sacrifices. So let's try to keep our patriotism at a high level now and forever. It takes tools to cultivate Victory, and War Bonds and Stamps to pay for those tools. Let's put every dime and dollar not needed for absolute necessities into War Bonds and Stamps to add to the power of our armed forces and to preserve our democracy. Buy now, and keep on buying War Bonds and Stamps. A dime saved-- WOODW RD TATTLER ..

' During the three weeks for which the campaign was scheduled 35333.85 worth of saving stamps were sold, and a sub-machine gun, and five Jeeps for MacArthur were purchased. The three months previous to the stamp drive, only 8290.80 in stamps were sold. This immense difference of 335043.05 in sales shows what the students can really accomplish when they put their shoulder to the wheel and their heart in the job. The teachers purchased 952418.95 in stamps and four war bonds, and the students, 552915.10 in stamps. Sue Cheney, Geraldine Bieganski, Clar- ence Puls, and Jim Jurchow each purchased a war bond. The proceeds of the Christmas auc- tion, which amounted to 542.50 went into stamps. The auction was a double gain for the investors: the stamps plus the articles. Students in Miss Minutte Singal's first hour Eng- lish class contributed 954.40 for de- fense stamps. Lois Schoonmaker and Norman Dageforde bought stamps with the money earned during their vacations. Students can still purchase stamps through their home-room representa- tive. Sophomores Hold Meeting At the business meeting of the soph- omore class yesterday, the members of the cabinet and two committees were introduced. Short speeches were given by each member. The annual Sop frolic was discussed by the com- mittee members. The officers of the class are as fol- lowsg president, Richard Joseph: vice president, Al Sahadig secretary, Pat Janowieckig treasurer, Phillip Mansour. Miss Dorothy Pasch and Watson Wel- ever are class advisers. Guards Prove Excellent Recently a boy who was brought be' fore Clyde Meek for wandering the halls remarked, Your hall guards are too good. I can't get by anymore. Although Mr. Meek is not in charge of the guards, this was a great compli- ment. These guards, 130 ofthem, have a thankless job and suffer much abuse, but in spite of the fact, they are still do- ing an effective job. Miss Dorothea Bishop is adviser and Don Weber is student council guard leader. Grad, Gains Deserving Honor , M-. Martin A. Jankowski, graduate of Woodward in 1931, will receive the -Iacee Achievement award given by the Junior Chamber of Commerce for his outstanding work as scrap drive leader of Toledo. He has received national recognition not only for the effectiveness of the drive, but for its thoroughness as well. Being the first boy and the second student to receive the Tattler Achievement Cup was the climax of his four years here. Because of his many extra cur- ricular activities and high scholastic record, he was interviewed by the Tattler. He stated that blondes and apple pie a-la-mode were his weak- ness. This executive vice-president of Kuehmann Potato Chip Co., was class treasurer as a sophomore, and vice- president of the senior class. He served as President of the Salesman- ship Club his junior and senior years and as treasurer of the same his freshman and sophomore years. Mr. Jankowski was secretary of the Hi-Y his junior and senior year. He was the first chairman of the ed- ucational assemblies. In the '31 Saga, class prophesy declared he would be successor to Graham Mc- Namee and he was compared to Rob- ert Montgomery in Senior Person- ages. At present Mr. Jankowski is an en- sign in the paymaster's department of the U. S. Navy in Washington. Griffin, Matheny, Bartolett, Boos Sent Gratitude Notes E. L. Bowsher sent letters of grati- tude to Miss Hellen Marie Griffin, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, Jacqueline Bartolett, and Doris Boos for their participation in the Youth Symposium held on December 11, 1942. He expressed his admiration for the intellectual contribution of the high school stu ents who participated in the forum. Mr. Bowsher also stated that the To- ledo high school forums have influ- enced other cities to prepare similar programs. Appeal For Clothing The Welfare project, under the dir- ection of Miss Grace Cronk, is sending out an appeal for warm clothing and good material which will be used for needy school children. Very little of the clothing being turned in is suitable for pupils. Records Donated Along with the goodies sent in by the girls in Mrs. Isla Van Vranken's first hour class there were also two re- cords donated to the U. S. O. Monday morning the girls received a letter from the center expressing their appreciation for the very though- ful contribution. Peris Sponsor Dance The Periclean Literary Society com- mittee in charge of the dance after the game tonight is composed of Sabine Szlichcinski, Mildred Bogdanski, Jack- ie and Dolores Wusciak, and Pat Jan- owiki. Norman Abood's orchestra will pro- vide the music and the Radio Club will be in charge of checking of clothes.

D. Warner Receives Letter From Grad Maurice Essick Miss Dorothy M. Warner received a letter from Maurice Essick, grad of '40. Maurice was inducted into the Army a,short time ago and is now training at Camp Crowder, Missouri. In his letter, he wants Miss Warner to pass the following news to boys taking typing: One of the first things you do in the Army is have your intelligence tests and then your interview. The Army tries to put a man where he is best fitted and that is the reason for the interview. They ask you what you were before you were inducted and they ask everyone if he can type. There is a great demand for typists in the Army and you very seldom see a soldier working in an ofilice withont a couple of stripes on his sleeve. Also with him are Charles Siem and Wayne Weeler, grads of '39. His address is as follows: Co A 29th Signal Training Bn. ' Camp Crowder, Missouri--e Msurice Essick-H Please Write. Advisers Expect 100 Percent Enrollment Of Student Body In Campaign Active organization of the Victory Corps at Woodward was started last Tuesday when officers of the corp and juniors and seniors met during the assembly period. Ed Sloan, president of the Victory Corps, introduced the other officers. Applications for membership were shown and explained by him. After this, Lois Ann Frankowski spoke about the insignias the members would receive. She also showed pictures of the aforementioned insignias and stated the price of each. The plain V was merely two cents, while the others ranged from five cents to ten cents when on an arm band. There are six divisions in the corp. These are general membership, air service, land service, sea service, pro- duction service, and community service. R. K. Sheline gave the qualifications for obtaining an insignia in any of these divisions. All students will receive a plain V for general membership. They must have this before they enterinto any other division. The only qualification onb needs for general membership is to participate in some sort of gym work, they must have passing grades, and they should be doing some sort of extra work that is in some way related to the war. Therefore, everyone in school can be a general member. A community service insignia will be giyen to the students who are now working during the fourth and fifth hour lunch periods to keep the cafe- teria clean. Mr. Sheline expressed his hope that Woodward's membership would be one hundred per cent, thus topping Waite which had a response of only 75 students. Eddie Rickenbacker is National Di- rector of the Victory Corp and R. K. Sheline is director of the corp at Woodward. Other teachers who are advisers here are Miss Dorothy Warner, Miss Helen Marie Griffin, Leo Robie, Floyd Lords, and Mrs. Eula Upp. The other officers beside Ed, are Don Weber, vice-president: Lois Ann Frankowski, secretary: and George Skaff, Vernon Baer, Walter Bonkow- ski, Richard Joseph, and Doris Pul- licki members of the executive com- mittee. Students filled out applications for membership this week, and these will be checked by a group of six students to decide who is eligible. Upp, Kanny, Cutler Take Pre-Flight Course At T. U. Women seem to be taking to the air, anyway that's the way it looks in Woodward. Mrs. Eula Upp, Miss Gert- rude Kanny and Miss Grace Cutler are taking a Pre-fiight course at Toledo University. Meeting each Saturday morning at the University, the only three women in the cla ss, once more became students. Captain Schultz, an army in- structor, makes the two hour session much more interesting by the use of actual parts. Credit will be given for the course, but no degree.

Victory Corp Under Way V UESDAY morning the ofiicers of the Victory Corps were formaly inducted into their offices. Membership blanks were distributed for all stu- dents to till and qualify as cooperators. There has been much criticism about the corps, because they have been slow about taking action. An attack cannot be made without proper. and careful preparation. Organization has begun, and now the success or failure of the olub is in the hands of the students. As a member of the corps, cooperate to the ut- most degree. The success or failure of this project now lies in the hands of the students. Horror Week Is Coming XAMS ARE COMING! Twice a year the pupils of Woodward go through a horror week of cramming and worry. Teachers give exams to determine to what ex- tent their teaching efforts have been absorbedb y each individual student. The grades received go on the grade cards and count one-fifth of the average calculation. Begin now to think of the coming grind week. Study and review now so when the time comes for the quiz days, you'll be prepared to make a high mark. Unsats Have Come and Gone ESTERDAY unsats were given out to students who have not been up to par in their work for the past quarter. This does not mean that these pupils are failing. It is simply a reminder that the grades are not as high as they could be. A little advice to all those students re ceivingun- sats---due to war conditions it is necessary to ge t all you possibly can out of school. Make up these blots on your records and come out with better grades next quarter They Belong To You! MBITIOUS students have been putting forth a series of successful forums since the opening of the school year. However, enthusiasim has been centered around only a few willing pupils--those who have written the essays and presented them. In the past, audiences have been slim. Behind every program is hard work and planning but to perfect it a full auditorium is essential. These are your forums. Better them by your attendance. Let's Plan Our Peace OLLOWING every war comes a time harder to ' adjust than the war itself---peace. An everlasting peace should be established between the axis and the United Nations. The high school boys and girls of today will be the ones to make this peace. Not only the treaty must be taken into consideration, but restoring the country as it was before the war, and returning the millions of soldiers to peacetime industries. As it is to be our generation to work this out, it might be a profitable project of the history, civics, and everyday living classes, if not already doing so, to make this part of their work. - THE WOODWARD TATTLER YoU NAME IT I I I ' Swap Shop s Christmas season is over, the time of tinsel, ribbon and pines.

A Freshman Soliloquy I came to Woodward all ready to go out for sports in a big way, but soon found out there was no yo- yo team. Looking about for something entertaining to do, I decided to attend one ofthe formal dances at the Trianon. I had on top hat, white tie, cutaway coat, and stiff shirt, but they wouldn't let me in. No pants. And I really am a fine dancer. Even if the tune is Flat, my feet are nimble. Flat Feet Wolfe they call me. But my girl is really a good dancer. She's just like a feather,--with a 90 pound turkey attached to it. What a girl. She used to be an actor- of sorts.She got the bird so many times she became known as Aviary Mamie, the feather girl.

V THE WOODWARD TATTLER ff .1 .Q ,QULFE4 G mwu D IRI H TC EET BEARS T0 IGHT CENTRAL VISITS WCODWARD WITH ACE TEAM IN HOPES OF UPSET if Bear Quintet, Fully Primed During Vacation., Expect Trouble From Irish Tonight the Woodward Bears will meet Central in one of the most crucial games of the season. The game promises to be a bang- up affair. Bear-Irish games have al- ways been the type that are not de- cided until the final moment of play. Both of last year's contests between them were thrillers, with the lead changing constantly. Last year each team beat the other once. Jack Danner, rangy center, and Joe Jacobs are the two around whom the Irish have based their attack. The Cherry Streeters have a rapid attack and are playing their zone defense. Central has been the strongest ex- ponent of the zone defense through- out the city for quite a number of years. Thus far this year Central has been beaten but once, by the Me- chanics from Macomber, who have an unusually strong squad this year. They have moved past Scott and De- Vilbiss with ease. Woodward IS un- defeated so far this season. The Bears soundly trounced Libbey but moved past Waite only by the slim margin of one point. The Bears alS0 trimmed last year's alumni. A forecast on the outcome of the game would be pure gu-esswork. Neither team has met the same Op- ponents and thus cannot be Judged by past performances. .What Co-ach Homer Hanham's boys will do against Macomber or what Central will do against Waite is yet to be seen. A flip of the coin is as good a way any in guessing the wlnner of to- night's game. . For individual play, the Bears will have Irv Wisniewski, Johnny Ilayak, and Bob Long. The latter has come along fast and is now one of the squad's best shots. The Irish will have Joe Jacobs, the city's scoring leader. This lad is one of the finest shots in Toledo and coupled with his mates' fast break, he presents an acute scoring threat. Central's long defeat has by no means made their chances hopeless By keeping in the win column and beating Macomber and VVoodward they could easily gain, at-the least, a tie for the championship. How- -ever, a loss at this point in the season would greatly lessen their chances. Neither Central or the Bears have been idle during the two-week vaca- tion. Woodward scrimmaged Perrys- burg while th-e Irish beat their alumni, 51-35. Probable starting line-ups are: Central Woodward Need .....,. . ,...... ...., . . f ............,,..,,, .,,, . .. Lon?

Seniors Will Take First Aid All seniors taking the physical edu- cation will be required to take first aid. The course will be given every Wed- nesday. At the end of twenty weeks, all boys who have passed the course will be awarded a first aid certificate. Boys Prominent In Sports Form Leaders' Club In Gym Woodward's newest club, with its eye toward making every member an assistant gym instructor, is the new- ly formed leaders' club. The club will begin existence un- der the watchful eyes of Homer Han- ham and Art Smith. Thus far it is only composed of members especially selected for their leadership and ability in handling of athletics. In the future candidates will gain membership by passing a series of trials and tests. The ad- visers plan to expand the club to the proportion where it will exert a de- cided influence in the physicial edu- cation department. In the future the club plans to or- ganize hikes, tumbling, and various other athletics. An organization meeting will soon be held and the club will begin to function with duly elected officers. At present the majority of mem- bers are basketball players and other boys prominent in athletics. These boys have sound athletic knowledge and thus the organization will begin on a strong foundation. At present the following boys are on the club roster: A. Vartibeck, C. Duhart, John Anderson, NV. Bonkow- ski, N. Wolfe, J. Knierim, R. Long, R. Joagodzinski, R. Aubrey, P. Sey- mour, C. Ransome, A. Matusiewicz, T. Miller, R. Harrison, J. Nelson, J. Payak, H. Haynes, F. Sloan, D. Scharer, and E. Sloan. Woodward Defeats Libbey On Polar Bears Hardwood Both Woodward entries in the City High School Basketball Conference, the varsity and the reserve quintet, are at the top of their respective league's standings. The varsity squad helped maintain their hold on the tie with Macomber by defeating Libbey in an easy 26 to 15 win. While the resrve quintet held fast to their tie to the leader- ship of the reserve basketball race to the Macomber lightweights by de- feating the Libbey reserves in a fast breaking preliminary. Although Bill Orwig's squad was not an old-time Libbey team. they supplied enough action to make the game a very interesting one for North Toledo basketball followers. At the half, the teams retired with a 9-7 score in the Bears' favor, but after the intermission Woodward used a pivot man who in turn passed the ball to John Payak, under the basket, who split the n-ets for eight of his ten points and led his team to vic- tory. Woodward, Libbey In Forum The topic for the forum to be held at Macomber on January 11, 1943, is, Should Our Political Parties Subor- dinate Their Party Interests Of The War? The schools participating are Woodward and Libbey. Although Woodward has always had alarge attendance the students are being encouraged through classes to attend these forums.

Griffin's Script writing and radio production classes. Students writing and participating in these programs were: Marion Howington, Kathryn Rudolph, June Wymer, Betty Tucker, Rugh Surgeson, Marilyn Young, Mildred Bogdanski, Ramona Carr, Raymond Carr, Norman Abood, Marvin Hascal, Joan Gigliotti, Tom Meade and Tom Marintelli. Miss Blanche Hazelton assisted in making these announcements a suc- cess by listing the foods according to nutritious value and vitamins. Recently Mrs. Mary O'Brien was requested to send these nutrition scripts to Washington to Mrs. Fessler, chief nutritionist of the American Red Cross of Toledo and her assist- ants Mrs. Bently of Toledo. We are at present the only school to under- take such a project. Nutrition posters will soon be posted in all neighborhood and .down- town stores. Mrs. O'Brien has been asked to carry this on by selecting 10 girls to speak to the proprietors and managers of the stores and tell them why nutrition is important in these times. U.S.O. Director Sends Note Of Thanks To All Donaters Miss Grace Cronk has reported that 450 five pound bags and 238 stockings were filled by the school for the U.S.O. who distributed them during the Christ- mas holidays. These bags and stockings were filled with contributions of fruit, candy, nuts, cookies, popcorn, gum and cigarettes. Various teachers have received nu- merous letters of thanks from men in the service. The following is a letter from the director of the U.S.O. center: Dear Students: On behalf of the U. S. O. in Toledo, may I take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your donation' of fruit, candy, popcorn balls, etc. for the Service men. It is such thoughtfulness that makes the boys' stays in Toledo a ,pleasent memory, and is deeply appreciated by them. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Dorman E. Richardson Director U. S.

Cut boards and ten desks were assembledfor other high schools. Why not try to follow their example? Cafeteria Sales Increase Due To Nutrition Program Through the cooperation of many teachers and their classes, the cafe- teria, under the direction of Mrs. Cecil Ashbrooke, is sponsoring a nu- trition program, which is the only one of its kind in the city. The aim of this program is to make the pupils food conscious, so they will eat the foods which are best for their good health. Since the start of the campaign, Mrs. Ash- brooke has reported an increase in the sale of student trays and the various vegetables. The sale of po- tato chips has gone down from ap- proximately 300 dozen a week to 85 dozen a week. Special thanks to these people, who have helped in this program: Miss Helen Marie Griffin's script writing and radio production classes, in charge of the announcementsg Miss Angela Abair's and Mrs. Freda Mc- Donald's classes for helping out in the cafeteriag Miss Blanche Hazel- ton, who has helped plan the menus, and Hugh Montgomery's classes, who printed the price tags for thc foods in the cafeteria. Miss Jane Anderson's art classes are making nutrition posters, which will be distributed to stores and of- fices in the downtown area. The fol- lowing girls will distribute these posters Saturday: Joyce Henly, Jean Heiman, Denham, Marcella Henzler, Dorothy Patricia Janowiecki, Bessie Pappas, Dolores Gramza, Lois llol- bock, Lois Ott and Phyllis Jarchow. Junior, Senior Boys Urged To Take Refresher Course- Mrs. Eula Upp head of the math ematics department, announced that a refresher course will be open to all jun- ior and senior boys. This course, now open in all high schools, was taught by A. Hooper to RAF boys anxious to qualify as air crew cadets. It will be open to all junior and senior boys since little or no mathemat- ics background is required. Boys who expect to be in the armed forces next June are urffed to enroll. Textileather Corporation Presented UE At Woodward A royal blue backdrop and Hy drops' used to decorate the stage, by the Tex- tileather Corporation when they were presented the Army and Navy E flag in the Woodward auditorium, were given to the school. 1 The flag, which will fly over the com- l pany, was presented last week in re- cognition ofthe plants excellent man- 5 ufacturing record. I Grove Patterson, editor ofthe Blade, 1 was master of ceremonies. Lt. Col. Q Thomas D. Lewis presented the flag.' Other prominent speakers included Lt. Governor Paul M.

Army, Navy E pins were presented to the workers of the plant. - . ..-,ii Wetterman, Rohr Compile Book For Grads In Service Due to the combined efforts of Miss Annie Wetterman and William Rohr, a book containing the names of Wood- wdard boys in service has been compil- e . The book, which lists the name, year graduated, and branch of service, was purchased with the proceeds obtained from the sale of sales tax stamps.Miss Wetterman's first and sixth hour everyday living classes conducted the collection and the cashing in of the stamps. Woodward Students in Serv- vice appears on the cover of the book in gold letters. Ten stars, each representing thirty men, appear on the fiag above the tro- phy case. The new flag was presented by the German Club. The two flags in the auditorium were presented by last year's everyday living classes. Students Do File Work Seven juniors and seniors are doing file work at Parkland School ration board today. Parkland's principal, Mr. Gohn, asked Charles C. LaRue for stu- dent help. Dolores Czarnecki, Dorothy Czarnecki, Mary Jane Kubicki, Joan Bieniek, Ruth Damraur, Conrad Korecki and Ruth Wisniewski, who assisted the teachers during gasoline rationing, will do the work. SCHEDULE CHANGES DISCUSSED BY BOYS Junior, Senior Boys Must Take Gym Five Days Every Week ln preparation for students who will be called into the armed serv- ices, juniors and senior boys met to discuss changes in their schedule which would be very helpful to them after they are drafted. First, the boys must change their schedules so as to have gym live days a week. These classes are scheduled to be during the second, third, and sixth hours, the senior boys taking four days of active gym, and one day of first aid. The juniors, though, would have active gym on all five days. The gym classes will not be in the form of military train- ing, but just activity to toughen up the boys. Gym instructors, Homer Hanham and Art Smith, will have the boys do vaulting, work on paral- lel bars, and such things. The second change in the schedules of those interested will be a mathe- matics refresher course. Senior boys, and junior boys who will be 18 be- fore September 1, are eligible. So far, about 66 boys wish to enter the course, therefore, there will be two such classes to take care of this en- rollment. A pre-flight course will also be given. Between 20 to 25 boys wish to take it. These courses are installed in the school curriculum to prepare boys for the armed service. If boys wish to take this course of study, the training which they will have when they enter the army or navy will not take so long to com- plete as it normally would. The train- ing period would be cut at least two weeks shorter. Boys interested may see about changing their schedules to include these studies. It is not definite yet which teach- ers will teach the math and pre- flight courses. Total Of Stamps And Bonds Sold January 4-8 Is 5929.40 The war bond and stamp sales for January 4 to 8 inclusive finds Miss Eleanor Murphy's home room class in first place with 83 cents per student. Second place is held by Miss Kathe- rine Tobin's students averaging 53 cents per pupil. Miss Blanche Hazel- ton's first hour pupils take third place with 41 cents per capita. Bond sales total S468.75. These were purchased by six students and four teachers. Stamps for the week netted 35460.65 with a grand total of 392940. Stamps and bonds may be purchased through home room representatives every morning. Sales will continue throughout the school year. The Student Council has charge of these sales. Miss Dorothea Bishop and Watson Welever are co-advisers. Pre-Flight, Math Refresher Course Schedule Submitted The new refresher course, offered only to senior and some junior boys is to be taught Hrst hour next semester by Mrs. Eula Upp. Another class is al- so being taught by Miss Belle V.

In almost every case the teacher knows beforehand what grade to assign, and students who are honest with themselves know what tnark they deserve. The purpose of an exami- nation is not to see whether the teacher and student agree. To stimulate the student to think on his feet, to see in his mind's eye the entire course of study as a unit, and to transform the mass of information into a working body of knowledge is the purpose of an examination. An examination ought to give the student an opportunity to make full use of the powers of his mind. It takes three to make an examination--the teacher, the student, and the subject matter. The teacher has lead the student through the course and now asks him not merely what he saw, but what he thinks of what he saw. That examination which merely tests memory is no examintion at allg many dangerous criminals know the law better than the average citizen. A true examination will present the student with a problem on situation that he can think though to its logical conclusion within a specified time. Lunch System Proves Expedient T SEEMS that the new lunch system has proved a success after all. Although pupils have voiced disapproval amongst themselves, no superior has been approached with this matter. Everyone has shown a fine spirit of cooperation. The clean halls and cafeteria after the lunch hours has proved, again, the Woodward students are always willing to support a worth while cause. We can now have a feeling of pride when walking down the orderly halls. We have shown the skeptics that Woodward can be as clean as any other school. As time goes on, this cleanliness will become a permanent habit. By keeping up this attitude of tidiness, we can instill this spirit into the oncoming freshmen, thus making Woodward a better school for years to come. Extra Time To Prepare HIS WEEK, because exams were prevously scheduled for January 20 and 21, there are no social activities going on. Because of this, stu- dents will have more time on their hands. Time for studying! Time to read over that chapter in history that you didnit understand, and make up that Eng- lish test you missed. Make use of the leisure time you have, for wasted minutes can't be regained. Write A Letter To A Soldier Today AR AWAY from home, away from life-long friends, a pang of longing and loneliness over- takes you. This is happening to the boys now serving their country. Letters from home are the remedy. Letters will sustain 'the heroesg keep their spirits soaring. Write a letter to a soldier today. Make your slogan, A Letter a Week to a Friend in the Armed Services. . - S THE WOODWARD TATTLER PRINCIPAL POINTS' NE of the often repeated questions of the day is, In the midst of war should we plan for for peace? While there is not unanimity of opinion on this, nearly all the great leaders of the United Nations are as much concerned aboutuwin- ning the peace as in winning the war. In listening to some of the speeches on what the terms of the peace should be, one is struck by the similarity of the views. Each speaker or writer is convinced that lasting peace can be brought about only through some sort of world federation in which the United Nations and particularly the United States, Great Britain and Russia must take the leading part. In this connection it is very interesting to re- member how ardently President Woodrow Wilson twenty-five years ago supported the League of Nations. He came home from the conference at Versailles and wrecked his health and broke his spirit traveling over the United States speaking in favor of the League of Nations. That was before the days of the universal use of radio and people were not 'world minded' to any extent. The United States stayed outof t e League. Conditions in this World War are quite similar to the last but the people of our country, I believe, have a different attitude toward world affairs. Any- one you talk to agrees with you that after the war something very definite must be done. What this something is causes the differenoe of opinion. We should all be as well informed as possible on the different ways suggested to preserve World Peace. Read all you can find concerning them. Listen to the talks of our leaders when they dis- cuss peace. It is of vital concern to all of us. We must not this time be defeated at the Peace Con- ference. Basketball? Now that the basketball season has begun, it is the duty of the Tattler to explain the game to our new fans. Please don't question these facts.

And pop figured that I should learn a few things before getting a job. So, he taught me all he knew, and in two days I could roll the dice as well as he could. My first job was working for my uncle in his tailor shop. His motto was We take you to the cleaners for fifty cents. At the end of the week,he handed me a bulky envelope and Iyelled Hot dog this ain't hay, but I was wrong--It was hay. And my uncle was a swell boss. If I worked hard all week and took a cut in pay he'd let my mother go. And he took a personal interest in all his workers. Every night he'd come around to say goodnight and take our chains off. I hear he's vacationing now at an Island re- sort---Alcatraz. Honesty is the best policy, and he cashed his premiums in too soon. Facts For Freshmen 1 What is the dean?

In collecting number five of the season, Hanharn's boys never gave the Irish a chance to get set. Wis- niewski and Payak hit follow-up shots, and then the Bears' big center hit a beautiful one-handed shot from the corner which gave Woodward a six-point lead in the opening minutes This was just about the whole story, for all night the Irish butted their heads against a solid defense which gave no quarter. Finding they could not penetrate the Woodward defense, Central slashed in recklessly and drew several fouls. Sinking a portion of these enabled them to keep within striking dis- tance of the fast stepping Bears. Halftime found Woodward loading. 22-17. In the third quarter the Bears really got hot and exploded all over the court. Instead of coming out to meet the Central guard, as they had been doing, Payak, Wisniewski and Long began fading back, then glid- ing forward to steal the ball and dribble up-court. Long, especially had the crowd on its feet, with his eye-baffling dribble and brilliant shooting. Wisniewski, too, gave the throng a treat by dribbling deep into the corner, and with a Central guard smothering him, flipped a left-handed shot over his shoulder which cut the cords cleanly. Mid-way in the third period Joe Jacobs, Central acting captain, loft the game on personal fouls. 'His absence was somewhat offset when shortly after the fourth period bef gan, Irv Wisniewski was waived out. He was 'replaced by Jule DuHart and the Bear attack continued to fum-- tion. Sloan and Payak played beau- tifully with the former turning in the finest performance of his career Coach Hanham's reserves played the latter part of the final quarter and the game ended 45-32. Payak again carried the scoring burden as he collected 19 points Wisniewski followed with 11.

Third Seymour Clan Member Follows In Brothers' Tracks Paul Seymour, sophomore portion of the famed Seymour basketball trio, and perhaps the best yet, is playing a wonderful game of basket- ball in the forward position on the lightweight team. He has been playing school basket- ball for four years-from the seventh and eighth grades on. Before that he started in the alley with his brother. Bernard, coaching him. lncidentally, Paul is going to miss his big brother. He left for the army last Wednesday morning. His escapades with Miss Marion Larkin in grade school helped him to pass the time joyously. Was he surprised when he found that Miss Larkin came to Woodward with him! Other sports which interest Paul are ping pong and bowling. His bowl- ing average is 220. Another interest- ing sport is Ophelia . For further particulars ask Paul, Johnny Payak, Jim Knierim, Bob Harrison or Frank Sloan-all are close friends f?b of Paul. This up and coming forward thinks that our championship chances are good and that Wilson Weis rates in the upper brackets where coaches are concerned. Chile is first on the menu for Paul, and he hopes to go on to college to play basketball, eat chile and, of course, to study.

This Macom- ber team is one of the most colorful in the city, and only Woodward stands in their way. 1 1 l The Bears fast break will not be hampered for lack of space tonight. The Macomber gym is practically as large as Woodwards, and affords fine playing conditions. I F ll Witnessing the Toledo Rockets play for the first time this year was quite a revelation for your scribe, who was used to the cool, calculating, near-per- fect teams of Harold Anderson. The new Rockets have no Chuckovitz or Gerber, but they have five guys who can explode like a bursting shell. In Davage Minor and Dal Zuber, they have two of the finest young players in the state. They play a whirlwind game and have endeared themselves to Toledo fans. at at ik Short Stulfz Wyndol Gray, Bowling Green forward, leads the Ohio scorers with 251 points in 10 games: Several big league teams may train in nearby cities: Libbey and Central are now tied for third place: Tonight's battle will leave Toledo with only one un- beaten team. , Paul Parks, junior, won a free ticket to the Woodward-Macomber game to- night by guessing a score of 47 to 33 on the Woodward-Central game. Second Seymour Brother Makes Basketball Champ Disk Seymour, middle brother of the Seymour combination, is a long- shot specialist. Dick is a protege of Bern Seymour, who played on last year's championship basketball team. He picked up most of his knowl- edge of basketball from Bern in regular Seymour style. Bern coached Dick, and Bern and Dick coached Paul, who plays with the reserves. Dick began his basketball career here at Woodward and has played four straight years. Beginning with freshman ball, moving to the reserves and finally the varsity. His talent is not limited to basketball. He plays a very good game of softball, as many Woodward boys who spent the sum- mer at Camp Big Silver, where he was a counselor, can testify. High among his favorites is S. B. Crouse, wood shop teacher, where he is also a four-year veteran. He also greatly respects Homer Hanham's abilities as a coach. He claims to have an athletic heart. That is, no interest in any- thing but sports. But we know that a very pretty girl named Lucille is first in his heart. 1 I ECH Craftsmen Gymnasium Is Scene Of Championship Decision The game tonight between Wood- ward and the Mechanics from Ma- comber has shaped up to be a pre- view on this year's probable cham- pion. With the Bears and Macomber the only two undefeated teams in the city, the game will provide a look- see on some really fast action. Macomber will undoubtedly provide the Bears with the stiffest competi- tion they have seen this year. Wally Ardner's boys closely resemble last year's Central squad, being an entire team of stars. The Macomber squad is of the type that is likely to ex- plode any minute. The Mechanics pre- sent a tight defense and thus the score is not likely to be overly high. So far this year they have used a zone defense but may switch to a man to man defense because of the failure of Central's zone defense to function against the Bears. Also against a zone defense Woodward would have a lot of space to move around in. On a floor as large as Macomber, trying to use a zone de- fense might prove fatal against a fast-breaking outfit such as the Bears. Ardner's strategy has been good, as is testified to by the close scores in Macomber game. More and more, every game Wood- ward's offense has hinged around Long John Payak, high scoring for- ward. If he can duplicate his play of last week against Central he may prove hard to stop. The Bears also have sharpshooting Irv Wisniewski, who does much to control the ball off the backboard. Should Peanuts Long and Ed Sloan continue as of last week, the Bears will be in tip-top condition, ready to meet anybody. For Macomber, watch Smoke Gy- urko and Tommy Rutter. These two boys will be the spearhead of an at- tack that has an excellent chance of snapping Woodward's victory string. The entire Mechanic machine is a host of sharpshooters. They are alike as peas in a pod and choosing a star is like splitting hairs. CO-CAPTAIN CURT Curt Ransome, co-captain and floor general, will lead the Bears into bat- tle tonight against the powerful Ma- comber five. Curt is rated by many as the city's finest defensive player. He is the key man in the Bear set-ups and represents Coach Hanham's Ace in the Hole.

Uh-huh, we have another engagement to tell you about. Duanne Lentz has gotten her- self promised tg Mgel Eiegala. Because the kids from Adams township couldn't get to school last Friday, they were unable to pur- chase Tattlers. Sidney Adams came gallantly to the rescue and sold Tat- tlers at the drug store in Adams township, where he works. To Instruct Mathematics At Boys' Vocational Wohler The resignation of one of Wood- ward's faculty came as a sudden blow to both teachers and faculty. Elmer H. Wholer, junior businos: training instructor, has left Wood- ward to take a teaching position at Macomber Vocational High School He left last Friday noon to assum. his new duties. At Macomber Mr. Wohler is teach- ing applied mathematics, which gives' him an opportunity for teaching a subject for which he trained. Re- ceiving his degree from Toledo Uni- versity, he received his M.A. degree in mathematics but since there was no opening in the field at Woodward, he was unable to apply it. While at Woodward, Mr. Wohler had at one time advised the cheer- leaders and, until last June was ad- visor of the Student Council. He also was on duty in the auditorium during the fourth hour lunch. Mrs. Ida Mae Bradford is taking over his classes until the end of the semester. Mrs. Mariam Larkin, a previously traveling teacher, will take room 254 as her permanent room. Mrs. Bradford will assume Mrs. Lar- kin's traveling schedule with the ex- ception of first hour, at which time. her class will be held in 254 since Mrs. Larkin has a study hall. Super Senior Class Meeting Proves To Be A Big Success If the senior class meeting of last Tuesday was an example of those to come, then let's give three cheers for those who planned it. The opening session included the business of the class. The date of the annual senior prom is May 7 at the Trianon. A correction was made con- cerning the amount in the treasury, which up to date is somewhere in the neighborhood of forty-one dollars. The entertainment was a jam ses- sion in which Harry James Sohlie- vert, who can dish it out on the trumpetg Jack Krups Miles, No. 1 drummerg Jerry Baldwin, at the pianog Iver Peterson on the trumpetg and Tom Marinelli at the accordion contributed their talents. There was also a muscial quiz in which Jimmy Davis, Jim Thie, Lou Ann Belt, and Jean Clark displayed their musical knowledge. ..1..i.... .. Morman, Hascal Take Over Duties At Stationers Desk Ruth Morman and Marvin Hascal, sophomores, are to start working in the stationers desk when the new semest- er begins. The two newly chosen students are to take the burdens off Rosmary Probert and Charles Mann, because of their many activities. This position requires one hour daily and no after schoolwork. Ruth and Marvin are to run the desk N until their senior year, when two more students will be chosen. All proceeds of the stationers desk , are turned into a scholarship fund. Ec. Geography Teacher Talks About New Tax Bill Van Tassal While attending a teachers' con- vention in Columbus, Ohio, December 30, Clyde Van Tassel, economic geog- raphy teacher, and Merrit Nauts, principal of DeVilbiss High School, and chairman of the legislative com- mittee of the Association, had a per- sonal interview with Governor John W. Bricker. The purpose of this meeting was to ask the Governor to inaugurate a bill which would provide an addi- tional 58,000,000 to be distributed among the schools of the state of Ohio. At the present time approxi- mately 348,000,000 is being spent yearly for the Ohio schools. The Governor, Mr. Van Tassel and Mr. Nauts also talked of the advan- tage of having a State Board of Education. However, no plans were made. The Governor favors the State Board plan but is not sure that now is the right time to seek the neces- sary amendment to the Constitution. Mr. Van Tassel said that the dis- cussion was very favorable as Gov- ernor Bricker is very friendly toward the development of schools in the State of Ohio. The Governor has promised, however, that no new taxes would be forced on the people, and unless he can find places to econo- mize on other matters it is hardly likely that more money can be al- loted to the schools. His message to the State Legislature on January ll indicated that much change could bo expected in school funds. However, since the Governor is re- garded a good public school man it is likely he would sign any bill that originated in the legislature and was passed by them. He recognizes that the Constitution of Ohio designates that the public schools must be main- tained by the State. Governor Bricker assured Mr. Nauts and Mr. Van Tas- sell that the schools would receive considerations ahead of the cities and other municipalities also seeking state aid. The State is under no obliga- tion to them, from the standpoint of the State Constitution. The governor has been -recom- mended the final payment of the Foundation Program debt. This amounts to about 86,000,000 He did indicate that the amount formerly used to pay interest on this debt might well continue to go to the schools in the weaker state aid dis- tricts. Juniors Vote For Rings The juniors voted on their ring styles Tuesday, January 12, and style number one carried the most votes. There were two choices. Ring sizes were taken Thursday, January 14, and a down payment of 83.00 was necessary. Phyllis Trepinski is chairman of the ring committee. Assistants are: Helen Barr, Richard Emerick, Janet Phillips, Barbara Marquart, Margaret Botzen- hart, and Jim Martin. Phyllis Trepinski This is her lucky day! Whose? Why Phyllis Jeanne Trepinski's of course. Phyl has always wanted to be inter- viewed, and now that she has been made chairman of the junior ring com- mittee, we have our chance. Miss Trepinski has been on the honor roll every year of the three she has spent here in Woodward. She is now the corresponding secretary of the Peri- clean Literary Society, and was a mem- ber ofthe Freshman Friendship Club in her first year. QSO as to fulfill her ambition to become a secretary, Phyllis is pursuing a com- mercial course. A business college will probably end her sohool days, because she has made no plans for a college education. P.J.T possesses a verygpleasing per- sonality. Graduated from Sherman,she takes specialdelight in reading and go- ing to the movies. Although she has no particular hobby skating rates tops for enyoyment. , 'Phyllis is a full sixty one inches high. f When properly divided that leaves her only 5 feet, 1 inch tall.J Her greenish-blue eyes and brown hair top this off to a perfection. U When asked about the arrival of the Junior rings, she states, As far as I know, they will come. We are hoping that nothing will happen to prevent it. Bogdanski, Labuzinski Talk On Party Subordination Last Monday night Libbey and Woodward students participated in the High School Forum at Macomber Vo- cational High School. Despite cold weather, snow, and gas rationing, 28 Woodward students, interested in world affairs, attended Macomber and took an active part in the discussions. The topic debated was, Should our political parties subordinatetheir party interests for the duration of the war? From Woodward the speakers were Mildred Bogdanski senior, and Grace Labuzinski, senior, script writing and speech classes respectively. Dorothy Extejt and Betty Maloney spoke from Libbey. Although opinions differed. the ma- jority of students in conclusion agreed upon the fact that both parties should subordinate their party interests for the duration of the war. These radio forums play a large part in forming a safe democracy after the war and now students should participate in them. Members of the s p e c i al Radio Pro- duction class at VVarren School, under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Kell- ogg, presided as monitor. Next week the topic to be discussed will be, 'tRationing of Food Supplies and Service. U.S.O. To Send Cookies The U.S.O. under Miss Grace Cronk has planned to send twenty-five dozen cookies to the Union Station starting Valentine's Day, every four week. The home economics department will bake the cookies, and Miss Cronk is asking students to bring fats, sugar, fiour, and canned milk. Mrs. Isla Van Vranken, Miss Bertha Vermilya, Miss Marjorie Hamilton, and Miss Dorothy Pasch are doing volun- teer work at the Union Station.

EXECUTIVE VISITS WOODWARD Commends Red Cross Work Of Mary O'Brien, S. B. Crouse The assistant of the director of American Junior Red Cross, Carney Smith, visited Woodward last Tuesday January 19. Mr. Smith is making a tour of all the larger cities of Northern United States to prompt the Chapters in the needs of service men. He will direct the Junior Cross part in supplying articles which high schools can turn out in quantity. He stressed the need for bedroom slippers, lapoards ash trays, utility bags cribbage boards to be used by men in the armed forces. He commented on Toledo s national prominence and stated that Wood- ward had one of the finest chapters in the United States. His appreciation of the work of Mrs. Mary O'Brien and S. B. Crouse was markedly shown. Miss Genevieve Riley, advisor of J. R. C. in Toledo, Mrs Kuhr principal of Hamilton school and chairman of the Toledo Chapteroand Dr. Velda Carver, 348 APLICATIONS CHECKED BY CORPS Warner, Sheline To Supervise Group Of Students Checking Blanks Organization of the Victory Corps is under way 100 per cent.

STAMP SALES FOR WEEK TOTAL S6195 DROP S300 FROM PAST WEEK ' is Howard Phipps' Home Team Leads Averages With 51.18 Per Pupil Reports on the stamp sales during the week of January 11 through the 15th have been tabulated with the total sales of stamps as 35425.25 and 3193.75 contributed for bonds. Three students and one teacher have pur- chased a bond during the past week. The total sale of stamps and bonds during the week included ilS619.00, with Howard Phipps' room class as the highest in the school, averaging 81.18 per pupil. Arlene Saetre was representative. The home rooms of Miss Hannah Shaw and Wilson Weis came next with 99 cents and 97 cents per pupil, respectively. Ruth Spauld- ing and Elaine Shemas were the rep- resentatives. Other high rooms are as follows: Paul O. Thomas, 86 cents per stu- dent: Miss Bianca Russell, 73 cents per student: Mrs. Hazel McManamon and Miss Dorothy Warner, 68 and 54 cents per pupil, respectively. The home rooms of Miss Louise Tippet, Hugh Montgomery and Mrs. Mary Crouse each had 50 cents per pupil. Rooms with students purchasing 100 per cent were Paul O. Thomas, Miss Louise Tippett and Miss Anne Wet- terman, with Lois Schoonmaker, Ruth Swegesore and Fred Loker acting as the representatives, respectively. A. R. Bitter has been helping the success of stamp sales by making slides for patriotic songs and war stamp parodies: a chart is being made by Leo J. Robie for recognizing 100 per cent home rooms. Helping to sell stamps during first hour is Doris Boos: Jerold Parker also helped dur- ing the bond drive. Miss June Ander- son's art students have made war stamp posters to assist the sale of stamps. The script writing class un- der the direction of Miss Helen Marie Griffin is making scripts to announce over the P. A. system. Without the help of these teachers and pupils the sale of stamps would not be as suc- cessful as they have been. Ice Cream Selling Is Banned? Zets Attempt To Get Candy Food sales at the basketball games have been taken over by the Zetaleth' ean Literary Society. Although it is most difficult to obtain candy in any large amount,the Zets will try to have a few bars at each game. Potatoe chips will be purchased in large quantities. Ice cream bars, previously sold at the games, have caused confusion be' cause of the waste on the basketball fioor. For this reason ice cream can not be sold at any future game. The proceeds fro m these sales are turned over to the Woodward Athletic Association. To date an amount of ap- proximately S25 has been turned in. Lois Ann Frankowski is chairman of the sales assisted by Alice Dyer, Lois Schoonmaker, Betty Timmons, Lucille Foley, and Mary Helen Stauffer. Miss Edith Murphy is adviser of the society. Eight Art Divisions Enter Scholastic Contest In Ohio The National High School Scholastic Contest of Ohio begins March fifteenth and continues through to the twenty- seventh. Eight art divisions will be en tered at Lamson's where the contest will be held. Those entering exhibits in dress designing are Katherine Duszynski, Annabelle Straka, and Marion Rex. Those entering posters are: Helen Barr, Mary Lorenz, Robert Hallet Dorothy Lewandowski, and Kathleen McCloud. Painting exhibits are being made by Kathleen McCloud, Mary Inrenz, Helen Barr, and Walter Bonkowski. All exhibits are first checked by Miss June Anderson. Due to the condition of the roads the Adams Township busses have not been able to attend school for two days. They have not been marked absent for these days. LAST YEAR FOUND SCHOOL IN FUN, FROLIC SESSIONS FOR STUDENTS K Ath. Department Arranges Junior, Senior Schedules The Athletic department, in ac- cordance with the war effort for physi- cal fitness is scheduling junior and senior boys for five gym classes per week. The seniors meet second, third and sixth hours. The freshmen and sophmore boys will have to take gym during first, fifth and seventh hours. A refresher math course for senior boys will be taught first hour by Mrs. Eula Upp and fourth hour by Miss Belle Joseph. Mrs. Upp will teach solid geometry third hour: trigonometry, sixth hour: algebra four, seventh hour. Junior boys may be admitted to these classes if they are 18 before the first of September. The newly organized classes are pre- fiight training, nutrition, and child care. The pre-fiight training class, for air minded boys, will be taught by Miss Grace Cutler, during the fourth hour everyday. Credit will be given for this course. Boys and girls are offered a 20 hour course in nutrition, during their Study periods. No credit will be given but each student, completing this course will receive a Red Cross certificate. During the second and seventh hours, child care will be taught by Miss An- gela Abair. For the first time since Hugh Mont- gomery began teaching prini shop work and W. F. Rohr, mechanical drawing at Woodward, girls will be admitted dur- ing class time. Eighteen girls is the limit for the printshop work. Fifteen have signed for mechanical drawing.

Course In Operating Office Machines Offered To Girls Whitney Vocational School can accept up to 20 girls from other high schools who are interested in learning to operate office machines. The quota would mean that about five girls from Woodward would be accepted. , These students must report at Whit ney at 12:45 to allow for two hours of in- struction. Each hour would csrry one semester credit which would be trans- ferred back to Woodward. Girls would have a choice of two of the following machines: dictaphone,cal- culator, Ellito Fisher Bookeeping, mimeograph and ditto, marchant, ad- dressograph, and multigraph. There will also be six machines in the dressmaking course available for power machine, glove manufacture, monogram, and script writing. Five junior girls who wish to train as beauty operators can be accepted, too. These students who enter cosmetology in February, 1943, should be ready for State Board examinations in June, 1944, and receive a high school diploma also. Girls who are interested should see Miss Wooden at the vocational school on Friday, January 29. Gayety Nite, Welfare Card Party, Hick Party Given Up Last year, just about this time, everyone was reminiscing of the fun and frolic of Woodward's annual Mar- di Gras, Gayety Nite. This year times have changed. Due to the present war crisis we have been sacrificing many of the frivolities of the regular school year, Gayety Night among them. Passing in review we find these ac- tivities among the most important we have thus far eliminated: The big affair of 1942 the Shekle Shufiie, was eliminatedg Open House a two year custom, the Welfare Card Party which was under the direction ot Mrs. Eula Upp last year: although the senior Hick Party has thus far been eliminated, they will have some affair according to information from the president, Vern Baer. Whether it will be a dance or a party is not defi- nitely known. Not only a chance to dance but a chance to help award some deserving student a scholarship was the purpose of the Scholarship Dance, a Polish Literary Society activity. Another was the faculty play: the high- light of the social calendar also was omitted the Zet-Peri Formal, which last year was a gala success. Although N.O.D.J.A. held its yearly session in Columbus and was attend- ed by senior members of the Tattler Staff this year, it was the last for the duration of the warg the Toledo Press Association, too has been omitted. This year the magazine drive was held and although we topped last year's rec- ord, the campaign was not held on such a large scale. However, the J-Hop, which is under the chairmanship of Sidney Adams, and the Senior Prom, with George Skaff, chairman, will be carried on as usual. The Sophrolic, the sophomore annual dance, will also be held. One new project we have taken up this year is the Victory Corps. This is the club to which all can unite our effort for victory. , LARKIN TO RESUME WOHLER'S CLASSES Bianca Russell To Take Over Everyday Living Class In an attempt to fill the vacancy left by Elmer Wohler and because of the unusual drop in the enrollment in the history classes, Miss Marian Lar- kin will instruct junior business training next semester. Having pre- viously taught world history and every day living as a traveling teach- er, Miss Larkin will occupy Mr. Woh- ler's room permanently. Because history class-es are small, Miss Larkin's former students in that subject will be divided among other history teachers. One of her every day living classes will also be scat- tered while the other will be taught by Mrs. Bianca Russell, who had formerly been on hall patrol during that particular hour. Miss Louise Tippett will resume Mrs. Russell's duties as hall patrol. Mrs. Ida Mae Bradford will con- tinue her position as Mr. Wohler's substitute for the remainder of the semester.

LTHOUGH the Woodward-Macomber basket- ball game was climaxed with a score of 22-23, favor of Macomber, the student body of Wood- ward knows that it was not a crushing defeat for our team. When the score is a margin of one point between the loser and the victor, either team may have come out on top. The Mechanics fought against a valiant team engineered by an excellent coach, Homer Hanham, who in past years has always pro- vided a powerful team feared by other schools. Woodward students through the years have always had good sportsmanship with a fighting spirit. But even the best of teams cannot win constantly. Congratulations team, everyone of you. We'll meet Macomber again, and the tale will be a different story. War Has Come To Woodward HE WAR has come to Woodward in the form of social curtailment. At this time last year social activities were functioning at the rate of two a month. Dances, card parties and our own Gayety Nite were using up gas and tires at a tre- mendous rate. Due to government inhibitions these activites have been harnessed for the purpose of getting the war over quickly and cleanly. The students have not missed these few gatherings and the purpose of disposing of them has been attained. We are doing our part which is merely abstain- ing from a few happy hours. Let's not complain be- cause of this minor hampering! Girls Invade. Shops IRLS have already invaded the factories. This year, girls are also offered a chance to use any mechanical ability they have, by enroll- ing in the mechanical drawing class here. Print- ing, too, has been offered as a class for girls during school hours. So far, the latter class has been filled. These courses are benencial to girls during these times when women are taking over men's work. The boys are doing their duty in the armed services while you girls carry on their work here. This is a fine spirit! Keep it up! ' Tattler Helps Out UR BOYS inthe armed services of our country are giving everything they have for us, and today we are trying to do a bit for them. Begining two weeks ago. the Red Cross sent a list of service men to the Tattler stating their wish to have our weekly paper sent to them. The Tattler is furnishing the papers, and the Red Cross covers the mailing cost. Other classes have also been doing this splendid work. Many notes of thanks have come in to the staff, showing the boys appreciation for this very small service. Recognition is due all who are participating in this good work You NAME IT l ' Swap Shop The column this week is most faithfully dedicated to our dear Alma Mater and the creatures in it who are generally considered as students. o o o The femmes here are wondering if Dan Cupid has finally caught up with Tom Marenelli. We have long ceased to hear his wolf call. Ditto with Harry Schlievert arid K,asee.':k It has been said that the only difference between Sing Sing and our newly inaugurated lunch system is that the convicts here do not wear ball and chain. Anyway the building's clean! o s o There isn't much difference between the battle for life and the battle for seats in the movies. One hears the crunching of broken bones, the crys of the wounded, and arms and legs that supposedly belong to the students. at 1 FF We all heard so much of Ray J agodzinski at the beginning of the year. Has he been hibernating late? or has the girl of his dreams proven unfaith- ful. That calls for some iqnveftigating. U According to rumor, it seems that students have been kicking because the same names appear in the Tattler. If someone would contribute some in- side dope on the unidentified kids, we would be only too glad to publish it. lk ik PIC Enthusiasm has again been aroused in the stu- dents concerning the Victory Corps. Perhaps this time, things will really start popping What are we waiting for---suiinmerz . Of late, Woodward boys have been squiring girls of foreign schools. Why don't they take a look in our portels? Marcella Flowers, Virginia Lukasik, Ethel Hogg, Betty Hansen, Sue Chaney, etc. certainly aren't my idea of bad examples. Ditto with the girls ..,.

Diet Duty Where did that pound come from? , wails Suzy, after a hard day's dieting. I certainly try hard enough. Dear Suzy, the answer is soooo simple. You have a bad case of N.R.T.T.W.I.C.F.QNo resistance to temptation when it concerns food.l You start the day with flying colors. For breakfast, you drink three refreshing glasses of tasty, fiavorful H20, your lunch consists of raw rabbit foodlone carrotland for dinner, one helping of lean meat, spinach, and another delicious Lake Erie Cocktail. The extra pound was probably the potato chips you couldn't resist before lunch or maybe the apple pie a la mode, salted peanuts, and candy. It really would have been impolite to decline such kind offers from non-dieting girlfriends.They meant well. And what else could you have done when Mr. Six-Foot One, main constellation of the basketball team, asked you to have a sundae or two after school? Of course it wasn't your fault that Mom had baked cookies and that they had to be sampled. Then, she would have pork chops, fried potatoes, and chocolate cake for dinner. After the game there was that hambur- ger and frosted malt at the drug store. The hun- gry pangs which drove you to sneak downstairs for a little snack at two o'c1ock couldn't be ignor- ed. But as you stood by the refrigerator chewing your Dagwood sandwich, a brilliant idea was born in your little brain. I think l'll start reducing to- morrow.

With Ma- comber and Woodward tied for first place, a loss for the Bears could give the Mechanics undisputed hold on first place. However, if defeat comes to Homer Hanham's boys, it will be a big up- set. The Bulldogs haven't won a single game so far this year. They blow hot and cold, and if they should begin hitting they can become very dangerous. Their stint against Ma- comber proved their ability to score. On the basis of statistics, the only advantage the Bulldogs will have is their home floor. If Al Sacksteder's boys should repeat their Macomber performance, the Bears may get in trouble. The Bears were shaky for a while during the DeVilbiss game Tuesday night, and can't afford such a show-up if Scott is hot. Long John Payak, high scoring Bear forward, was slowed up some, being handicapped with a hip injury. Something new in the Bear game Tuesday night was scoring by the guards. Those extra points can look very big if the score is close. Peanuts Long is coming along fast and has been playing a very good game. The Collingwood avenue squad is mostly all sophomores, with no re- turning lettermen. The Bears have two second year varsity men, Irv Wisniewski and Curt Ransomez Thus the Bears have the advantage in ex- perience, too. All in all, if Scott doesn't repeat its Macomber game, and the Bears don't collapse, they should take Scott by a comfortable margin. CUBS TRIP CRAFTSME , DeVILBISS DHVILBISS QUINTET KLIGHTWEIGHTS CONTINUE AMAZING FAU-S T0 STOP BEARS WINNING STREAK WITH DOUBLE WIN Woodward Polars Roll Over Tough Tiger Five Wilson Weis Coaches Stellar Tiger Reserves Fail To Stem In Final Stanza The Woodward Polar Bears gave their followers a slight scare last Tuesday, but managed to rally and pull a victory over DeVilbiss out of the fire, 37-31. DeVilbiss broke the ice quickly on a long shot which gave them the only lead thev enjoye throughout the game. The Bear Whirlwind swept down the floor and Wisniewski hit a nice tip shot to swing the attack into gear. Peanuts Long and Curt Ransome played marvelous ball to give the Bears an 11-5 lead at the end of the first quarter. DeVilbiss played better ball in the second quarter and this, coupled with the sudden relaying of the Woodward defense, enabled the Tigers to pull within 4 points of the Blue and White, the half-time score being 22-18. The third quarter found Pfeifer, DeVilbiss center, sinking some beau- tiful shots to keep the Tigers close on Woodward's heels. Long led the attack with 13 points, Payak had 10. Wisniewski had 4 Ransome 5, Seymour and Miller, who plaved beautiful ball, had 5. Pfeifer had 12 points to lead De- Vilbiss. Quintet To 18 Straight Standings Wins Bear Championship Headed Five The Woodward lightweights by virture of victories over Macomber and D6V1lb1SS have run their amazing victory string, compiled over a two year span, to 18 in a row. This is the most amazing streakever made by a Wood- wa rd team. Woodward's lightweight squad has added another victory to its string. It came at the expense of Macomber last Friday night. The game started slow with both sides playing a defensive game. Both squads tried some shots and missed. The Bears held on to a slim one- point lead throughout the second quarter, but the Mechanics missed a couple of chances to take the lead by missing some lay-up shots. At the half it was '15-14 in the Cubs' favor. In the third quarter the Cubs got hot and started dropping buckets from all over the court. At the fourth quarter they held an eight-point lead which the Mechanics could not over- come. The game ended with Wood- ward on the long end of th-e 39-23 score. High scorers for the evening were Harrison for Woodward and Yondtke for Macomber, each with 12 points. A couple of familiar faces were on the floor in Macomber uniforms. Dick Kelmer and Windhovel played fresh- man ball here at Woodward. Woodward's Polar Cubs played first rate ball last Tuesday, when they continued their win streak to 18 consecutive victories by trampling the DeVilbiss reserves, 58-'19, The Bear reserves looked like an old Blue and White team when they scored their 58 points in a good many years. Paul Seymour started the ball rolling with a successful charity toss and from then on in it was all Wood- ward. The Bears not only outscored the Tigers, but their fast break and guarding was that of a highly su- perior ball club. Every member of the reserve squad saw action and continued the on- slaught begun by the starting five. Paul Seymour, sparky forward, led the scoring with 13 points. Bob Har- rison collected 8, Jim Nelson, Skeeter Bonkowski, Sunny Lentz, 7 each, Alex Vertleback, 6, and Frankie Sloan and Cal DuHart with 5 each completed the point getting. MACOMBER MECHANICS OVERCOME BEARS IN FINAL MINUTES OF PLAY K Monroe Street Gym Proves Jinx To Woodward's Combination By virtue of their win last Friday night Macomber holds first place in the league undisputed. The Mechanics came through in the clutch a nd c u t Woodward's victory string. The game was a hard fought battle all the way with the Mechanic's in the lead only once, at the end of the game. Big gun for Macomber and the even- ings' high scorer was Ed Solomon. His twelve points saved t he Mechanics. Wisniewski and Payak each scored nine for the Bears. At the half the Bears led by one point. The longest lead they held all evening was five points and that only for a few moments. The Mechanics kept coming up from behind to tie the score. The zone defense employed by Wal- ly Ardner's boys handcuffed the high scoring Bears. Central's zone was easy prey for the Bears but with Macomber it closed the door on high scoring. The Bears fought to the last minute but time was against them. McEwen scored the final Macomber goal in the last two minutes. In the final moment of play it was the Mechanics out and they froze the ball. Ted Miller had a chance to save the game but luck play- ed against him and he rolled a lay-up shot right off the rim. The game ended with Macomber on the long end of the 22-23 score. Following the Macomber win, the Mechanics lead the race for three days, but a dark horse, Waite five, upset them and knocked them back into a tie with the Bears. Freshmen Beat Macomberg Bow To DeVilbiss Team The Woodward freshmen exhibiting, alternatly, hot and cold basketball, managed to gain an even break in two games played in the space of five days. The men of Wilson and Welever traveled to Macomber in the first en- counter and there lifted a 15-10 deci- sion from the little Mechs. Barefield, Katz and Cymbalp layed good ball for our frosh, with Barefield leading the score. In the second game the lily Bears lost a 21-10 decision to DeVilbiss.In this game the Woodward yearling's ten points were divided among Skilla with four, and Kostakowicz, Miller Barefield with two. The freshman have now won 2 lost 2. They have beaten Waite Macomber, while losing to Central DeVilbiss. Virginia Ayres, Doris Kanipe Lead Girls' Bowling Class Virginia Ayres topped all others in bowling t h i s week wi t h 155. Doris Kanipe, who was close behind rolled 153. 149 was Marion Vogt's score while Jean Kimple had 146. Ruth Heller and Sarah Tzanakis bowled 141 and 135, re- pectively, W hile Daisy Taylor and Katherine Bassett tied at 132. Dorothy Nadrasik rolled 128 and Dolores Czar- necki scored 125. Cleo Ackley and Mar- garet Botzenhart bowled 119 and 117 respectively. The attendence has drop- and and and and ped regularly because of the girls, ' 1 working. Bob Wysocki Rolls 646 Total As Americans Fail To Win AMERICAN In spite of Captain Wysocki's 646 effort. Woodward dropped two out of three to the Bulldogs. The final game came to be the Bears' victory with 738 maples to Scott's 660, while in the first and second games Wood- ward fell short 741 to 653 and 772 to 726, respectively. After finding the pocket in his 169 opener, Bob Wysocki hit the one-three hole con- sistently enough to obtain games as high as 238 and 239. Norman Sobecki contributed 554 pins with games of 191, 184 and 179. For Scott, Anchorman Don Schafer led his team in individual contribu- tions with a big 645.

We feel that since we have such ex- cellent prospects, every fan should know a few of the more important rules governing play. For example: Double foul: One member of each team fouls each other at the same time. This means one free throw for each team. First throw at basket nearest the foul line, and a jump ball at center aft-er the last foul. Time out fclock stoppedjx Ball is dead if there is a dispute about the score or an official's decision. Ex. Woodward-Waite game. Lengths of time: 1. High school quarters are eight minutes. 2. Extra periods three minutes fovertimel. 3. Intermission between quarters, two minutes. 4. Intermission between and before overtime period. 5. Time for removing injured or disqualified player, one minute. 6. Time allowed for completing substitution, 30 seconds. 7. If substitute replaces injured or disqualified player, 30 seconds in ad- dition to one minute for removal. 8. Intermission between halves, 10 minutes. Film Projector Purchased Clyde C. Van Tassel has purchased aused 16 mm. film projector. School funds were used to obtain it from a minister who was entering the service.

Helping the chapter are Miss An- gela Abair's first hour class of boys who are knitting an afghan, and Miss Ethel Kerlin's girls are knitting wristlets for the boys in service. Mrs. Lola Bowyer, assisted by Miss Blanch Hazelton and their classes have made the grand total of fifty-two wool skirts to be worn by the women 'of war-torn countries. SERGEANT JACK TAYLOR RETURNS AFTER YEAR'S STAY IN U. S. ARMY Surprised Pupils Welcome Former Grid Mentor . .. .. , . . .,,,,,,,1 Sgt. Jack Taylor A movie star in Woodward? After slugging my way through the mob which kept echoing ohs and abs yours truly discovered the object of the commotion-Sergeant Jack Tay- lor, Woodward's gift to the army. After escaping to the Tattler of- fice, Sergeant Taylor proceeded to answer all questions with Can't tell you that. It's a military secret. But, your reporter didn't give up, and fi- nally hit on some questions he could answer. In short, they all sum up to the following: After having a session with the draft board last summer, he was sent to Camp Perry. He remained there three days and was shipped to the west coast. After he was there only a week, he was sent across. Mr. Taylor has been in the Ha- waiian Islands. The weather there was sultry and the rainy season was in progress. The inhabitants were mostly Japanese. He said there were a few Toledo boys there with him. He was in the field artillery, but is now enroute to Miami, Florida. where he will be in the officers' training corps. In answer to a question about K. P. duty, he laughingly said, I got pret- ty tired of scouring pots and pans. He was glad to be back in Toledo again, though, especially since he could get a good cup of coffee for a change. He remarked that G.I. coffee tasted like a combination of half cold dish water and cigar butts. When asked about boys quitting high school, Mr. Taylor stated: T think they should go as far in school as they can, because they can adapt themselves better to whatever the army wants to do with them. And. mathematics is important, too. He concluded by saying that if you know anyone in the service overseas, write to them, but don't send them anything unless they ask for it, and don't expect an answer to all your letters. Juniors, Seniors Enjoy Fine Address Given By Humbert- Upper classmen assembled in the auditorium, February 2, to pay tri- bute to Woodward boys who are serv- ing in the armed forces and to those who will serve in the future. Walter Bonkowski, junior class president, introduced Norman Abood, the program chairman. The National Anthem opened the assembly. C. C. LaRue introduced Rev. Rus- sell Humbert of Epworth Methodist Church, who was enthusiastically re- ceived by the audience. Reverend Humbert stated: This war is going to be a long one and probably every boy assembled in this auditorium will be in uniform before it is over. Dick Miller, senior, sang On the Road to Mandalay, accompanied by Clarence Ball. Freshman Genille Rentz, soprano member of the glee club, sang My Hero. Sergeant Jack Taylor, who repre- sents Woodward's faculty in the serv- ice, received a riot of applause as he approached the stage. Silence overtook the assembly as Mr. LaRue paid tribute to the boys in service. He produced cards which are replicas of diplomas, to senior boys who have enlisted and are enti- tled to ,their diplomas. Three boys. Jack MacKenzie, Al Ustazewski and Richard Miller, were present to re- ceive their cards. The other eleven will receive theirs through the mail. The singing of America conclu- ded the assembly. Saga Makes Improvment Suggested by Mr. Raymond Sheline's daughter, this years Saga will have colored division pages. A charge of 25 cents must be paid by everyone wanting the extra attraction. All next Week the Saga copy which has already been returned from the print shop will will be on display in the second iioor display case. lMany Additional Schedule Changes Noted At Semester Additional changes in schedule not yet announced in the Tattler include two in the English department, with Mrs. Hazel McManamon taking over Mrs. Marie Ersig's second hour jun- ior English class, and Miss Helen Marie Griffin is having an English II class during the seventh hour, which she formerly did not teach. Mrs. Hella Anderson is now in- structing a World History class. Miss Louise Tippet has charge of the freshman study hall first hour, replacing Mrs. Phyllis Lentz, who has taken over this study hall sec- ond hour.

Miss Angela Abair's newly estab- lished Child Care class is instructed during the second hour. Mrs. Grace Kellermeier has charge of the sophomore study hall during the first hour, replacing Miss Marion Larkin, who is taking over the Jun- ior Business Training classes. Sophomore Scramble Proves Success Under Alex Sahadi Through t h e success of t h e S o ph Scramble, an example has been set which is likely to be followed in the future by other classes. Held on January 29, the roller skate was the irst ever to be given as a class project. In the future, an annual skate will be held as a part of the sophomore social activities. Over 450 tickets were sold and the net returns were about 375, which has been added to the funds of the class treasury. Alex Sahadi was chairman of the affair. Miss Dorothy Pasch and Watson Welever are co-advisers of the class. l Z I 1 1 i l DECREASE OF 107 STUDENTS SHOWN Enrollment Drop Blamed To Jobs, College Urge, Marriages There has been a decrease in the number of students enrolled in Wood- ward high school this year as com- pared with the enrollment of last September. At this time, 2058 stu- dents were enrolledg of this number, 337 were seniors, 369, juniors, 554 sophomores, and 691 freshmen. By January '15, 1943, the enrollment dropped to 1951 students. Since the close of last semester, the enrollment has again decreased for various reasons. No statistics of the present enrollment are yet avail- able. ' The main reason for girls graduat- ing in mid-year are as follows: 113 work, Q25 Toledo University, C35 marriage. The following girls gradu- ated: Harriet Baerringer, Elsie Beck, Jacqueline Bartolett, Justine Justin, Delphine Wysocky, Regina Hartz, Jean Metzger, Dorothy Morgan, Kathryn Kirchner, Katherine Rudolph, Hanna Serfin, Phyllis Szumegala, and Mildred Wright. The graduate girls now attending Whitney Voca- tional high school are: Katherine Bassett, Marie Holmes, Loraine Da- vid, Betty Osgood, Virginia Czebatul Christine Hildebrand, Ruth Heller and Natalie Skitowski, office ma- chines: Patricia Morlak and Cather- ine Duszynski, power machinesg Helen Jesionowski, general. June Rose, Virginia Ray, Betty Bridges, Gertrude Koepe and Betty Wood are permanently withdrawn and attend- ing night school. However, they will graduate with their class in June. Woodward boys have left school to join the army, the navy or marinesg others have left for jobs and a few are attending the University of To- ledo. The following boys have left for the armed services: Sam Eckhardt, Mervin Ely, Bob Harter, Charles La Fountaine, Ervin Shimman, Paul Skot- znsky, Al Ustazewski, Howard Winger, Irvin Wisniewski, Frank Zientek, Jack MacKenzie, Harold Moores, Harold Ressler and Dick Miller. Isla Van Vranken's Classes To Receive Special Training Mrs. Isla Van Vranken has shown her interest in the future cf Woodward boys who will sooner or later enter the armed forces by giving special training to students enrolled in any of her four business English classes. Suppletnenting the regular work, Mrs. Van Vranken has chosen Army and Navy correspondence which will prove beneficial to all who are enrolled. Girls will profit by this training since some may enter government offices or enlist in the women's branches of the service. Instructions will be given from a test entitled Army and Navy Correspon- dence which was obtained from Wash- ington, D.C. Students interested in this course may gain information by consulting Mrs. Van Vranken in room 253. March Of Dimes Woodward's total in the March of Dimes was 863.94 this year. In compari- son with the S76 collected last year for the Infantile Paralysis Fund. The de- crease is believed due to the enroll- ment drop.

TRUE test of maturity is the ability to meet with discretion a state of confusion such as that which now inhabits Woodward. Your reaction to such a problem will prove if you are worthy of being called a high school pupil or not. In an effort to meet new war requirements, it has been necessary to make a decided change in schedules. This has necessitated unusual planning by the faculty and added cooperation from the pu- pils. Aocompanying this there seems to be a gen- eral state of restlessness which has resulted in a number of students withdrawing from school. Some have joined the services, some have gone tu factories or elsewhere in an attempt to satisfy their desires. Besides these new troubles which have arisen is that inevitable excitem' nt present after a vacation and at the beginning of a new semester. The problem is a difficult one. Will you help to cope with it by disregarding the confusion or will you add to it and complicate matters even worse than now? The decision is yours. The Rev. Humbert's Talk Moves Audience HE R1-JVEREND RUSSEL HUMBERT present- ed a stirring address to the junior, senior as- sembly last Tuesday in the auditorium. The talk exemplified the teen-agers responsibility in the present chaos of war. A few of the catching points he made would go far in making a better world spiritually if we could practice themf He stated the student's investment in democracy and the privileges offreedom of speech and religion endowed by it. He believes young men and women of America can be the hammer to break existing prejudices after this war. A correct attitude of life, properly influenced by teachers and family, could mold character of a superior quality. He wished to leave a thought that the mind was a workshop, not a washroom. The quality of his talk reflected in the couldn't- hear-a-needle-drop quiteness of the room. In clos- ing he left a golden rule for all to follow, That which you take with you is which you have given awa . Tlink and let this commendable s t a t e rn e n t influence your future. The Year's Half Gone HE advent for the second semester brings us near the end of another school year. Seniors are entering their last lap of their high scdool career. With the second half of the school year comes a whirlwind of activities. The Sophrolic, the J-Hop, tne Senior Prom, the Senior banquet, and finally graduation---these comprise the happiest yet the saddest part of the year. For underclasstnen, second semester offers a op- portunity to participate in the fun. It also brings achance to turn over a new leaf and improve school work. 'Bo the seniors however, the social activities and all their gayety are tinged with sadness. This is the last year they will come to VVoodward. Upon graduation they will wander down various paths of life. Some will seek employment, others will continue their education. Some will succeed, some will fail. Yet all will remember the year of '42-43. Second semester, we salute you. A Little Effort To Gain Perfection HE CAFETERIA AGAIN? Again we must bring out the often mentioned subject of keep- ing the cafeteria clean. The students have helped keep the lunch room in such a condition that one doesn t mind eating there. The tops of the tables look grand. However, some girls and boys are still careless about taking care of their waste. It's so easy to drop refuse on the floor or almost hit the basket.

The Raveings Edgar Allen Poe would kill me for this. Once upon a daytime dreary, while I wandered weak and weary through Woodward's classic halls, I noticed several feverish lookingjuniors, mutter- ing incoherently, and stealing furtive glances at papers and books. Suddenly there came a tapping As if someone gently rapping, Rapping at my locker door. However, closer listening revealed it to be a soft, modulated voice droning sweet honeyed words: And what is so rare as a day in June, etc. My heart quickened for the sweet voice could only belong to one. The lost Lenore. Eagerly I rushed outside and imagine my sur- prise when I perceived not the maiden whom the angels named Lenore, but a huge brawny fellow, obviously a football player. None other than Ernie Rychlewski simpering coyly about days in June. Hastily shutting my chamber door, I threw open a window and through the door there floated in Betty Hansen, to me, the lost Lenore. Enthralled I cried speak on, Lenore. Softly she spoke. f'Thou, too, sail on, O ship of State! Sail on, O Union, strong and great. Enraged I slammed window and through the door there flitted a stately Ravern and perched above my chamber door. He looked amazingly like Johnny Payak so I cried Speak O bird. The Raven spoke: Da leper raised not da gold from da dust. And Raven Johnny still is sitting reciting loud- ly, never fiitttng but I know my suffering soon will be past. For the juniors have learned their long poems at last. No longer do I fear that from my chamber door I'1lhear Da leper raised the ship of state from a perfect day in June.

Irv was the backbone of the Wood- ward defense, besides being an ex- cellent shot with either hand. He used his 6 feet 5 to excellent advantage in controlling backboard traffic, and to tip in many a valuable bucket. Irv began his cage career as a freshman and showed so much prom- ise that he was moved up to the var- sity in his sophomore year, which 1s in eed a rare occurrence. He took over the regulir center slot as a junior and finished second to Dave Kornowa in total points scored. 1 This year he continued his fine backboard work and at the time of his enlistment was probably the city's finest center. He was active in virtually every sport, football, basketball, baseball, bowling and track topping the list. Wiz leaves behind him an amazing athletic record, one which will be long envied and long unequaled. Playing Cards Given U.S.O. Twenty decks of playing- cards and a jar filled with cookies were sent to the U.S.O. by Mrs. Isla Van Vranken's home room on January 31. An appeal for more cards has been sent out.

The Bears started with Payak at center, Long and Ransome at for- wards and Miller and Sloan guards, but had a difficult time getting started, for they missed the height of the towering center. Bob Long seemed to be the only one inclined to shoot, and after two attempts he hit from the side to start the machine rolling. Woodward spent the first quarter solving the Maumee defense, and the quarter ended with the suburban quintet trailing 5-3. The Bears stretched this to 14-9 at the half, but still weren't clicking. In the third quarter on defense Payak moved out in front with Long, Ransome dropped back with Miller and Jule DuHart took over at center. This began clicking immediately with Johnny and Peanuts stealing the ball to dribble in for easy lay-ups. On offense Payak continued in the pivot and Duhart went into the cor- ner. This also clicked and the quarter ended with Woodward boasting a commanding 27-18 lead. They scored at will in the final quarter and the game ended 40-24. Payak paced the scoring as he collected 19 points, Long was the spark plug and connected for 12 points. Brell led Maumee with 10.

Bob Wysocki was the headline bowler of the morning, knocking the maples for a big 630 series. Double century games of 202, 208 and 220 made up Bob's total. Walter Bon- kowski also turned in a good per- formance with 549 series on games of 182, 169 and a strike laden 207. Although the first two games were rather uneventful, the final team en- try was a real thriller. After the en- tire Libbey squad had finished their last frame the Bears were down over 80 maples. The first few men on the Anierks lessened that mark to 59 pins in which, to win, both Bonkow- ski and Wysocki had to pound in six successive strikes, three apiece. First Bonkowski hit the picket for a strike then crossed to the Brooklyn and back to the New York side for two more. Then anchorman Bob Wysocki repeated the previous performance by with gave gave over pouring in, and riding home three more strikes, which then him a string of six strikes and ball squad dedicates its victory toal Woodward enough pins to win certain person. . iLibbcy by a single maple. l i I I l l l 4 Over Indian Five The game tonight between the Waite Indians and the Woodward Bears may shape up to be a hard- fought, close-scoring game or it may turn out to be a runaway. No team in the 'city has quite a jumbled record as Waite. Th-ey played great ball against Macomber, edging them out by one point, and 'then were slaughtered by Scott on their home floor. The Mechanics are leading the league by a half game, having al- ready started the second round while the Bears were idle. These two games give a slight insight on the unpredict- able Waite squad. Star and high scorer for the ln- dians is Inman. This tall, lanky pivot man can b-e mighty dangerous. Kives and Hale, the two regular guards, have left the team to join the armed forces. Joe Horvath may be danger- ous, having scored 19 points against Macomber. The Bears will depend on Johnny Payak and Peanuts Long for the ma- jority of their scoring. The Indians are not alone in being affected by the war. The Bear center, Irv Wis- niewski, has also left to join the armed forces. Homer Hanham will probably shift Payak to the center slot and play Sloan at guard. Summing upt If the Indians play their best it will be a hard-fought contest. If they play as they did against Central and Scott the game will be a runaway for the Bears. Starting lineups are: Horvath .........,..,...,.......

The Bears steamroller wasted little time in swinging into motion. Wisniew- ski scored on a tip in, and from then on it was all Woodward. Scott tried val- iantly inthe first few minutes but the Woodward defense was air tight. Scott's defense was also tight in the first per- iod ,but Curt Ransome pulled it out by hitting a brace of beautiful long shots. The half time score was 24-11 and the Bears kept banging away and stop- ping all the Scott scoring. Wisniewski and Payak each had ten points to pace the scoring. Long fol- lowed with 9, Ransome 7, Miller 4, Sey- mour 2 and Eaton 1. The play of both gaurds Ted and Cxurt was outstanding.

The story goes that some of the boys in a fit of enthusiasm ate the results of their experiments in cookery.

Woodward Appears On Radio Forum With Whitney, Feb 8. Woodward will again be featured on the Radio Forum this Monday, February 8, over WTOL, sharing the spotlight with Whitney Vocational. The question under discussion during the program will be, Should Social Security be Ex- tended in an American Type of Beveridge plan? Candidates for the forum were chosen by Miss Helen Marie Griffin and Mrs. Dorothy Matheny. They were Charles Mann, Arthur Katz, Ed Sloan, Elaine Shemas, Madonna Ort, and Pat Little- field. Two speakers were to be selected from this group of candidates who won over the remaining contestants from Miss Griiiin's scriptwriting class, and Miss Camilla Savage's History class. Mrs. Matheny and Miss Griffin have formulated a plan by which different teachers will be invited to participate in every forum in which Woodward has a voice.Miss Savage's history class was asked to take part in this forthcoming forum. The object of the new plan is to diffuse interest in the forum through- out the whole school, permiting all departments, giving every class an opportunity to participate in the forum. The Woodward-Whitney debate was originally scheduled for February 1, but the forum bowed to examinations and the meeting was moved up to Febru- ary 8. Harry Lamb is moderator of the forum. ..l,...........-.l- Office Purchases Seal An offical seal,alarge polar bear, encircled by Woodward High School, Toledo, Ohio, was purchased from the general office fund. The seal will be used for transcripts for boys enlisting in the armed forces. 1 At a meeting of the Athletic board Tuesday a joint agreement between Libbey and Woodward moved the scheduled game between these two schools from Friday the twelfth to Thursday the eleventh. This will give Woodward an extra days rest for the hectic week in which they meet both Central and Macomber. Stamp Sales Compiled Total stamp sales for the year from September 14 to February 1, as com- piled by Miss Dorothea Bishop, were S7,948.05. 54,679.30 was the amount spent on war stamps with 33,268.95 spent on war bonds. During the first week of January 55929.40 was contributed, S619 the sec- ond week, 3454.80 the third week, and 320.20 the fourth week. Though these figures may look big and though the school did come through splendidly during the cam- paign, sales are again decreasing. Shirley McClean, Part Time Office Clerk, Quits Position Shirley McClean, graduate of 1942 who returned this year to work as a part time clerk in the office ofthe deans, left Woodward at the end of the first semester to work in an insurance com- pany oflice. Miss McClean, as a part-time clerk here, travelled two days a week tothe East Side Central school to work. Her new position offers more opportunity and more chance for advancement.

AMERICAN LEGION FIRST MASS INDUCTION or coRPs ' VIC FORY CORPS ' T I MEMBERS VIEWED BY STUDENTS On Social Security System The High School Forum of last Mon- day evening, February 8, brought Wood ward and VVhitney Vocational schools together on the issue of extending Brit' ain's Beveridge report to America. The Beveridge Plan ofEngland, which is being discussed by Brit1shers,but has not as yet been passed by Parliament would incorporate old age retirement, unemployement, benefits and medical service or hospitalization into a gov- ernment controlled business. T h e question before the forum was Should Social Security Be Extended in An American Type Beveridge Plan? Woodwards' representatives were Ed Sloan, pro, and Arthur katz, con. Whit- ney speakers were Ursula Bauroth con, and Doris Hampp, pro. Harry Lamb, moderator and head of the Radio Department, selected a board of experts from the remaining contestants because of the excellent re- search made on the subject. Questions on the program were directed at either the speakers or experts. Experts from Woodward included Patricia Littlefield, Madonna Ort and Charles Mann. Those selected from Whitney included Seville Brubaker and Alice Lockard. The attendance was dominated by Woodward students who participated in the question and answer session with knowledge derived from their own research before the program. Mr. Lamb commented on the quality and research of the talks as the finest yet for any youth forum. He remarked how the forum is often ahead of the news event and how valuable forums are in interpreting the event. The next forum will discuss Socialized Medicine.

A4 -.L Katz, Sloan Give Speeches iPatriotic Theme IS Inspired By Armed Force Members The first mass induction ceremony for students eligible to join the Wood- ward Victory Corps was witnessed by the entire student body today in the boys' gym during the B schedule. Ed Sloan, president of the corps, acted as chairman of the meeting. The program opened with the band, gleeclub, and the audience singing the national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.

No other , ,, . American has left such a lasting . 4. -J impression upon our nation. Al- lhfift though he lived through one of l Wir? the cruelest Civil Wars in history W! WW ,. X sq he is now revered bv South and ,f l 'V 1, North alike. His was the cause of Z A5553 humanity. He was the true Dem- ocrat. Beneath the color, the creed, or the scocial condition of mankind he was able to see the universal longing for liberty, equality, and justice. With all his wisdom he was a simple, kindly man who listened sympatheticahy and attentively to all manner of petty grievances. Perhaps this sim- plicity and his constant humorous quirks were the cause of his being so often misunderstood. Digni- fied senators and representatives, especially at the beginnlng of his first term as President, looked upon him as an uncultivated country clown. Even his best friends at times accused him of taking the duties of his office too lightly. Time has proved his wisdom and understanding. Many times national heroes are glorified to the extent that their qualities become godlike and we forget they were once men.This will never happen to Abraham Lincoln. He had many virtues, he had some faults. No one was more keenly aware ofthe latter than Lincoln himself. , One quality that showed his faith in the common people was his constant turning to his very humble friends for advice in the affairs of state. To most people the conduct of the affairs of state are on a plane far above the reach of the common run of humanity. Lincoln did not think so. To him the affairs of government were managed in the inter- ests ofthe governed, and that meant the lowliest as well as the greatest citizen. During the present war we hear a great deal about our Democracy and about our threatened liberties. To many of us these are but high sound- ing words with each of us trying to protect and defend an ideal conjured up from our own selfish interests. If you really want to know what these words mean you should study the works of Abra- ham Lincoln who perhaps better than any one of his time caught their real significance. Don't Let Up HE intensified war stamp and bond drive was a decided success. The pupils and teachers went all out to help win the war. They did their part, but now a slump has been hit. Perhaps it's the lull before the storm. More guns and ships and planes are needed to beat the axis. Your war bond purchases are the solution. Let's make this the paramont of storms. Let's show the world that Woodward can bear the burden and come up smiling. Hi-Y Forum URING the month of February a series of Hi-Y Friendship Forums will be held in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Already this series has begun, the first being held February 7. Students of various high schools are acting chair- men and student participation is necessary for the success of those forums. Woodward has had a very good attendance at all forums, whether Woodward took part in it or not. However, for a school of this size, more students should participate. These forums will be held every Sunday this month at 3 P. M., so let's see if more of us can attend. , Swap Shop I I YOU NAME IT Hiya, Myrt,-where's Gert? Well here-'s dirt and did Ido some digging.

You come back and proceed to drop the loaf, because it's good experience for a begin- ner. So You begin! Your first slice you throw away because no one likes the crust. With the second slice you spend a half hour trying to even it out, By this time it is all crumbs so you give it to the canary. Now you are mad--you begin to slash away, Ooops, You've cut your finger, but your sister, who is taking first aid, bandages it and you try again, Now you have to slice left handed and it's a terri ble job. Oh! I forgot to tell you, you're supposed to turn the bread on its side and what! So soon, the crust again...so you throw the bread away and eat crackers for the duration. W Y -vi' li THE WOODWARD, TATTLER ' . .... - . . Olllflifl G nlwu D H 1 .- The improved playing of Wood- ward's guards has been the highlight of the season. Always good on defense they have developed their shots to the point where they are dangerous from everywhere on the court. :li HF il The cream of the freshmen team, Kostaciew, Katz, Cymbolim, Barefield Skili, and Miller look like good beats for future varsity berths. A little more developement of offense would make these boys a crsck team. t I U Ted Miller got his first tip shot last Friday against Waite when Woodward needed it plenty. Jim Knierim also got a first when he hit a beautiful left- handed shot against Waite. FK if lk 'Talk of a post season game between T.U. and Bowling Green has abated somewhat since the Falcons lost 3 games in the last three weeks. On top of this B.G. lost four regulars including 6'11 Don Otton whose specialty was knocking opponents shots ont of the basket. BF if PF With the tournament being played at Macomber this year a lot of fans are wondering where they are going to sit. When the bears played the Mechs the gym was packed and several fans were turned away. With three games being played each night the battle for seats will probably equal the varsity battles. Bear Cubs Roll Over Waite Reserves In Tough Battle Although the Bear Cubs made an easy time of their first Waite encount- er they had quite a time when they won from the East Siders in a 10-25 count last Friday. The game did not start or progress in the usual lightweight fashion for Waite drew first blood on a pair of successful fouls and later hit for another two point field goal. Paul Seymour hit for Wood- ward's first point via the foul line. After that the Bear cubs grabbed a small lead and held it throughout, even though the Indian reserves made several attempts at the Woodward total. This win for the lightweights length- ened Coach Wilson Weis' successive game winning streak to 23 in which he has gained in a little over a season and a half as the basketball mentor. Paul Seymour and Bob Harrison spared the Bears' attack. BEARS TRIP INDIANS IN'LASFSTAGEiRUSH Jim Knierim, Ed Sloan Star At Guard Positions To Halt Waite Woodward swung into the last lap of their title guest Friday by stag- ing a fourth quarter rally to nip Waite's Indians 33-27. The Indians started out like they were going to give the Bears plenty of trouble. Inman hit a left handed fielder from the pivot, and Horvath dropped in a neat push shot to give Waite a four point lead. Woodward finally got rolling when Long got a charity toss, followed it with a fielder, and Miller also hit from the field. Woodward clung to a slim 9-6 lead at the first quarter and although get- ting but 2 points in the entire second period they held a slim margin until the Waning moments of the first half when Horvath connected for two fielders, giving Waite the half' time lead 13-11. Woodward started the second half in shaky fashion and had it not been for the fine play of Ed Sloan disas- terous results might have ensued. Sloan held the defense together and hit a brace of fleld goals to keep the Bears going. Waite battled back and the third quarter ended 21-21. In the closing period Jim Knierim entered the Woodward line-up and proceeded to throw a monkey-wrench into Waite's offense. He stopped the In- dian's center break and bottled up Horvath effectively. Long, Payak, and.Miller did the rest to give the Blue and White a clear sweep of the Waite city series. Long lead the scoring with ten points, and Payak followed with 9. Corps Declined Request A reply has been received to the re- quest for a Victory Corps song which was sent to Fred Waring and his Penn- sylvanians. The letter was sent by Lois Ann Frankowski, secretary of Wood- ward's Victory Corps. All of the songs used on his Victory Tunes programs are chosen by the men in the various camps and training sta- tions throughout the country. As a re- sult, they are unable to fulfill our re- quest at the present time. BEAR FIVE PREPARES FOR TUSSLE AGAINST STRONG CENTRAL SQUAD Traditional Game Is Scheduled Tuesday Night On Irish Cherry Street Gym Woodward and Central will clash Tuesday in a game that will have a direct bearing on the city title chase, for the Bears must win to stay in the race. On the basis of seasonal records Woodward is favored, but in this traditional battle records go out the window. In the first round meeting of these two teams Woodward registered a 45-32 win, but that was when Irv Wisniewski was controlling the back- boards. But with Irv gone, Danner and Helvy's height will trouble the Bears considerably. The Bears will probably carry the heavier guns offensively if Long, Payak, Ransome, and the guards are on their game. The Irish, fast break will feature as its spearhead high scoring Joe Jacobs whose specialty is getting opposing players to foul him. In this he is mimiced by the entire Central team and if the Irish are on from the free throw line they can pile on valuable points. A capacity crowd is expected to pack the Irish gym, many of whom witnessed last year's classic struggle when an underdog Woodward team came out of nowhere to knock a banner Central team out of an undis- puted championship. The Woodward, Central games are always high scoring affairs and there- fore crowd pleasers. Ilayak, playing the pivot, will con- stitute Woodward's main scoring threat. Speedy Bob Long will be a threat with either hand as will the long shots of Ransome and Miller. The probable starting line-ups are as: follows: l Central Woodward f. Jacobs, f. .... .,,.,,.. , Long, Murnen, f, ..,.. ........ R ansome, f. Danner, c. ...... ...,.,... I Jayak, f. Neeb, g. ...... ......, S loan, g. Helvy, g. ..... ....... T cd, g.

Bob Wysocki Paces Amerks To Easy Win Over Redskins Woodward's A m e r i c a n bowling squad won two games from the Waite Indians last Saturday at which time Bob Wysocki lead the Amerks to a rousing 615 total. This is Wysocki's third successive 600 total which puts him at the top of the rung in individual game averages. Opening with a 177, Wysocki then came up with a 214 and closed with a rousing 224. Norm Sobecki hit high single game with a 229 opener but as the breaks were against him' he fin- ished with a 166 and 132 for a second high 547 series. The Bears hit for a three game to- tal of 2,422 which out classed the Indi- ans total by 96 maples. Individual Scoring: 3rd Tl lst 2 nd N. Sobecki ......,. 229 166 132 R.

Freshman Squad Garners Win From Waite Papooses Woodward's freshman squad sound- ly tr'-unced the Waite freshmen squad last Friday night to the tune of 19 11. The Indians were no match for the cubs and were behind all the way. Red Kostacievincz, cub center, was high scorer of the evening with a total of 10 points. This victory gave the cubs their third victory in six starts. Although definitely out of the run- ning as far as first place is concerned, the Welever-Wilson boys are trying to stay out of the cellar spot. They have been playing better ball in their last few games and many do a lot better in the second round than they did in the first. - RULES Fouls and Penalties Technical Fouls 1 Delay the game a.

This movement is a follow-up of the government's request that every family raise as many fresh vegetables as they have room for. Five hundred seed catalogs are ex- pected to arrive from the Children's Flower Mission in the next few weeks. Miss Cronk's third hour class will pass these out to the students that desire to take them home to plan their gardens. The seed packets cost a penny each so that only a few cents will plant the amount of ground the average stu- dent has at his disposal. Any class that buys more than fifteen dollars worth of seeds will receive a United States Hag for the classroom. At the suggestion of Principal C. C. LaRue, the Tattler will print a column of garden hints frequently which are planned to help all victory 'garden owners. Since this country's transportation system has been turned over to the -.var effort, fewer fruits and vegetables will probably be available than last vear. The best way to insure good supply of them will bc a gardeng plan one now. . Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's speech class has volunteered its co-operation in this movement. A pageant, Fun to Be Free, will be given Soon. Ad- mission may be gained by purchasing some seed packets. These students will also tour the rooms to give short speeches before giving the pageant. Posters Made By Juniors To Aid War Bond Purchase Miss June Anderson's junior art classes have combined their efforts to aid the war with their art work in posters with patriotic themes. The best of these are now on display in the second floor hall. From here each in turn will be shown on the bulletin board opposite the office. They will be rotated until each poster has been shown in the various study halls. It is intended that they will serve as a constant reminder to students to pur- chase war stamps and bonds. Students whose posters are being used are Ethel Semnler, Lois Ann Pasch, Robert Sorgenfrei, Dorothy Wolsiffer, Harlan Pierce, Marion Gdourk, Mary Lorennz, Harold Mond- ville, Helen Barr, Kathleen Brubaker. Kathleen McCloud, William Lang. Phyllis NValczak, Dorothy Lewanrlow- ski, Marjorie Stapleton, Edwin Rob- crts and Geraldine Biganski. Tattler Positions Changed Due To Mid-Term Graduation Due to the mid-term graduation ofsev- eral members of the Tattler staff, their positions are being taken over in the following manner: The former assistant news editor, Jacqueline Bartolett, has relenquished her position to Alice Dyer, who now is the only news editor. Alice also has charge of all interviews appearing on the back page. Helpful Hannah and Call To Arms written by Hannah Serafin are taken over by Mildred Bogdanski and Sydney Adams, respectively. The position of business man-ager, Delphine Wysocki, has been given to Evelyn Cieslewski. The former business manager is now holding the position of Pattern Editor in the Toledo Blade on the Women's Page. Majoring in newswriting and home economics, Delphine claims these as being assets to her present job. INTRODUCING Dan Cupid J' It is an accepted fact that in the spring a young mans fancy lightly turns, but it is a futher fact that every February 14th, all the various fancies get a little pre-season workout which comes under the deceptive title of Val- entine's Day. Now the little chap who works- hardest on said day is the same tricky marksman who, equipped only with the standard weapons that made Robin Hood famous supports hundreds ofJustices of the Peace, and indirectly keeps Reno Hourishing. We refer df course to Dan Cupid Esquire---every first of the month. We found Danny surrounded by all devices which have been used to snare the Male Animal down through the ages Indeed on the same shelf I oberved Eve's apple, Cleopatra's rug and you know whose sarong. Noting the absence of new moons, I broached the subject to my young friend. I'm afraid, said he ruefully, I shall have to use second hand moons this year. Why? we asked gullibly. Because, he replied, The best moons of all move to Carnegie hall. But, Cupid, we persisted, aren't you doing any war work? Have you ever strolled past the Na- val Armory on Sunday, he replied. Seeing what he meant we hurried on to another subject. ci'Have you any ambition? we inquir- e . Yes, he nodded, I'd like to have one of my arrows hit der Fuehrer, but he added not in the the heart. What is the hardest part of your life? we asked. Slicing bread with my arrows, was the instant rejoinder. We finally got Cupid to make a state- ment about what he had planned for the coming holiday. Said he, My arrows will be doubly accurate this year.

February 23-27, Woodward To Host Rationing Officials Woodwar will again act as hosts to rationing officials the week of Febru- ary 23 27, when the point rationing pro- gram will be introduced to the public. Teachers and pupils will be chosen to help in the rationing, working on shifts from one to tive-thirty in the after- noons, and seven to nine in the even- ings during that week, The rationing this year will take place in the little gym, if plans go through. Last year's use of the school library for the rationing proved rather disastrous. C. C. LaRue will attend a meeting at Whitney Vocational Monday morn- ing where he will receive direction as to what part Woodward will have in the rationing program. Sometime after the meeting, Mr. LaRue will call a meet ing of Woodward teachers to discuss various points of the new rationing system, plan the procedure to be used, and choose people to participate in the rationing.

You and the Armed Forces was the subject of the first of a series Hi-Y Friendship Forums which are held on Sunday afternoons from 3 p.m.to 5 p.m. at the Y.M.C.A. Speakers were members of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and W. A. A. C. Following the speakers a panel dis- cussion was led by Prof. Donald Parks personnel director at the University of Toledo. Stressing the point that the boys shoud remain in school as long as they could, each of the speakers put special emphasis on physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The importance of shop work for practical experience was brought out. They recomended boys who were doing good work in mathe- matics to join the meteorological training school. the forum.

BOWSHER Members From All Schools Report Progress March 16 The Victory Corps representatives from all Toledo high schools met with E. L. Bowsher, superintendent of schools, Tuesday, February 16, in Macomber's activities room. The meeting was opened by Mr. Bowsher, who had the principals of the schools introduce the directors, who in turn presented the members. Each school reported on their prog- ress, and each reported having simi- lar difficulties. Schools with a high enrollment in in the Corps were: De- Vilbiss, 13003 Whitney, 351 out of 6003 Libbey, 600, Macomber, half their enrollment: Woodward, 350, and Waite, 150. DeVilbiss held their first induction about a month ago, while Scott and Libbey will hold theirs this week and next, respectively. Mr. Bowsher stated that there was nothing absolutely new about this organization, however, it was bring- ing to light those things which we have slighted in the past. He said we placed little emphasis on personal health and responsibility to the com- munity. Mr. Bowsher thinks that after the war there will be a great opportunity in the language field for we shall be thinking in terms of the world. The first guest speaker of the aft- ernoon was Mrs. Rustat, who spoke on the child training program soon to be inaugurated. Nursery schools will be set up to take care of chil- dren of working mothers and sleep- ing fathers . Next on the program was Miss Judd, affiliated with the Toledo Girl Scouts. Miss Judd told of the need of 2000 girl messengers for the Civilian Defense Council. The work is very technical and should be undertaken by girls who are willing to serve. Miss Judd will speak to Woodward girls after rationing is over. Doc Miller of the YMCA spoke next. He told of the experi- ence of many of his boys in the war and thought the corps an excellent idea. These meetings will be held regu- larly each month. The same people will attend: however, an extra repre- sentative will accompany them at each meeting. Something to think about: There may be a Victory Ball for all Victory Corps members all over the city at the end of the school year if a con- venient place is found. Woodward Chosen To Start Victory Corps Scout Move In cooperation with Woodward's Victory Corps, branches of the Sea Scouts and Air Scouts organizations are to be set up here. Woodward has been chosen of two schools in which this scouting movement has been started. Mr. Frank W. Braden, head of the Boy Scouts of Toledo, introduced Mr. Cy Palmer, president of the Toledo American Airlines, Sea Scout Com- mander Frank Hackett, Sea Scout Leader, Robt. Bruning and Air Scout Richard Mueller. Head Mr. Braden spoke of the advan- that young men with Sea tages Scout training receive in the Navy. With this training it is not necessary through boot training. to go Cards were distributed with in- structions to write the name, address, age and whether you preferred to join Air or Sea Scouts. Names of students who, in the opinion of the applicant, would make good leaders were included. Any boy 15 years of age or older is eligible for member- ship in either organization. Included in the scouting curiculum are activities which, Mr. Braden added with a wink, persons of the fairer sex. The first meeting of both the Air and Sea Scouts will be held March 2 in the Woodward auditorium. Ap- plicants have been instructed to be accompanied by their father or the person whom they stipulated on their cards as being Scout leader.

GEO. WASHINGTON'S GOALS STAND OUT AS INSPIRATION TO STUDENTS The fame of George Washington is not accounted for merely by the record of his achievments. Like Lincoln, the man was infinitely greater than anything he did. An able commander, he wrested liberty from tyranny. A statesman, he helped evole a stable government from political chaos. A patriot, he cheerfully laid down power when he might have won a crown. Wisdom, patience, tolerance, courage, consecration to the righteous cause, animated every act. Ingratitude, injustice, and treachery never embittered him but served to strengthen his char- acter. He grew indignity and in capacity to meet the need of his growing responsibility and power, but never be- came arrogant. Ambition and opportunity never tempted him from the narrow path of honor. Not merely in what he did, but also in the things he refrained from doing, Washington earned that gratitude which leads men even GIRL' GYML SCE E OF RATIONING WOODWARD CHOSEN AS WEBSTER 1 SCHOOL RATIONING HEADQUARTERS WOODWARD has been selected to be used as a center to issue War Ration Book No. 2, to take care of the people in the closed Webster school district.

Work is being started on The Rope, by Ruth Wilson, which the dramatic class will present in the near future. The two other plays under consider- ation are Mr, Togo and His Friends, by Albert Maltz and Hitler Has a All the taxes will be 30 minutes long with the first lunch hour be- ginning at 10:30 followed, without an intermission, by the second lunch period. Mr. LaRue attended a meeting last Monday to learn all the details of rationing. At a meeting last Wed- nesday, the teachers signed up to work on either of the three shifts which will be from 1:00 to 3:30, 3:30 to 5:30 and 7 to 9. With the exception of Waite, which will take care of rationing in the Times building, and Whitney and Robinson Junior High, which will take care of the people in their dis- tricts, all other high school teachers are serving in the grade schools that supply their buildings with pupils. Students from Woodward will be asked to help, and for the most part, will be sent to the grade schools in their home districts. Things to remember about ration- ing which the students should im- press upon their parents include: 1. The person applying must be 18 or over, and must bring the Consum- er's Declaration. This form has been printed in the newspapers, and peo- ple are urged to have it completely filled out at the time of application. 2. People whose names begin with A to D should apply Feb. 235 those from E to I, Feb. 24, those with J to N, Feb. 255 O to S on Feb. 26, and on March 1, those from T to Z. 3. Applicants must have ration book number 1 for every one for whom they apply. 4. People must know the number of their ration board. The Parkland school ration center is number 48-8. Rationing at Woodward will take place in the girls' gym. C. C. LaRue is site administrator, and his assist- ants in carrying out the program smoothly are: Mrs. Marie Ersig, 1 to 3:30p Mrs. Mary Crouse, 3:30 to 5:30, and Floyd Lords, 7 to 9. Diana Hale, Hollywood Star, Interviewed By Tattler Cub While impatiently waiting for an ap- pointment to be kept in Lasalle and Kock's last Monday,Feb. 15, Mary Hie- der, member of the newswriting class, interviewed one of Toledo's youngest talented Hollywood stars, Diana Jean Schultz, known as Diana Hale, who was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Wil- liam Schultz. Diana Jean who is now seven years old has been in Hollywood approximate- ly two years. She has made four long and two short movies since her acting career was started. Her latest picture released is My Friend Flicks. The Good Fellow was thelast picture made by Miss Hale but has not yet been re- leased. Roddy MacDowal1, Preston Foster, and Rita Johnson are Dian's favorite stars. When asked which place she liked best, Hollywood or Toledo, Diana Jean replied in the most grown up manner, It all depends. Diana returned to Hollywood that today to title him The Father of his Country.

Rationing Again Comes To Woodward EXT week students and faculty of Woodward will turn their energies to the nations ration- ing problem. The United States government believes that in turning the mechanical problems ofnational ration- ing over to the people, the populace by rationing themselves, will be less opposed to it. Our school has been chosen to help our govern- ment. Teachers and students have been asked to assist and have responded admirably. We thank these patriotic citizens. The remaining pupils will have schedules dis- rupted, and school day cut. We call upon them to assist by quietly and quickly going about their business without ham- pering this school project. Thank you. Ben. Franklin Preached Frugality Y FOLLOWING the example of one of our ablest forefathers, we can do our part in the war effort. Benjamin Franklin, we all know, was one of the men who contributed a great deal toward making America the greatest country in the world. It is men of Franklin's caliber who have carried on the precedent set bv him. Franklin's most famous vir- tue was his frugality. Every schoolboy has heard how thrifty he was. Follow his lead and invest your money in United States Defense Bonds and Stamps, the safest mon- ey-making proposition. Concert Continues Despite War Work HE concert which will be given by the com- bined orchestra, glee club and band on March 3 is again proving that music is necessary in war time. Although many of our annual activities such as club dances, various senior parties, and benifit affairs have been dropped for the duration, the concert will be held as usual. But this year it will carry greater significance. A nation occupied with the worry and work which are synonomous with war need the relaxing quality which music gives. The same spiritual lift is given to students in school who also have more respsonsibilities than ever before. Even the minority of students who aren't musically inclined should attend this concert ang make it the most successful one we have ever ha . Students Take Over Cafeteria Work RADUALLY, supervision in the cafeteria is being turned over to to the pupils. Due to the comments that this supervision was too much under the control of the, teachers, this pro- ject is being introduced. Observance has shown the students capable of this undertaking. As time goes on more authority will be given toi the pupils, giving them full direction. The bitter must be taken with the sweet -- which is our only excuse for printing this column again.Oh, well, we gave you plenty of sweet in the editorial section, so resign yourselves, chillun, and read on.

Let's start by rapping Uncle Cob Mclntyre, which is my drinkin' uncle. Old Cob has the reputation of being the tightest uncle I got, which is quite a reputation, both ways. Last Ground Hog Day, the ground hog refused to come out and look for his shadow. When Cob found out, he grabbed a spade and tried to dig him out...just so he wouldn't have to buy another ton of coal to last out the six more weeks of cold weather. Aunt Minnie Layaday tops him off, though, for being the laziest woman on the other side of the Ozarks. She feeds Uncle Cob hash every day because that's the only dish she knows of that doesn't need to be cooked---she just lets it accumulate! Uncle Looie Napoleon is our other border. He hasa greater reknown for being strict than history teachers have. He works at the draft board and lately refuses to defer anything that hasn't been dead more than three days. Anything that is dead less than two days he assigns to the Army Air Corpse and calls it a day. I think it would be best if I did the same. So long! Facts On Love Valentine's day is sweetheart's day and sweet- heart's day, is for people in love. Here we state a few things about love: A biochemist believes love interferes with diges- tion. A doctor thinks it makes one immune to colds. A psychoanalyst claims it has nothing to with fifty percent of the world's marriages. Did you think your heart had anything to do with love? Forget it! According to authorities you love with your liver not your heart. Y ' Girls don't have to wait for leap year, because if if you are one out of the four who is to get a pro- posal --chances are you propose. Then too, if the man does propose your big moment is over in one minute and 35 secods flat. Your Dream Man's kiss thrills you to the extent that it increases your pulse beat five times a min- ute, but the thrill decreases slowly until after a year of marriage, it will effect you to only two beats a minute. Your husband will be worth 317.50 in chemical composition, will never use half his brain tissue, and not reach his top mental age until he reaches fifty. Did someone say love is grand and marriage is bliss? LIGHTWEIGHT FIVE UNDER COACH THE WOODWARD TATTLER W . 'UW ,, ,X ' ii,iI gui 27.123 ,Q xlib! W.. - my aH:,Y l 1 12.1.1- WOODWARD BATTLES MACOMBER FOR UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP Bears Risk Championship 3'- Hold By Encountering Desperate Five Tonight when Macomber meets Woodward in the Bear gym the Me- chanics will be making their last desperate bid for the city league championship. The best the Mechanics can gain is a tie for the lead if they beat the Bears. Should Woodward win they will be undisputed champions. The Woodward-Macomber game during the first round was a sizzler with the Craftsmen taking a one-point deci- sion in the final moment of play. The game tonight promises to be as spectacular, if not more so, than the previous Woodward-Macomber battle. Wally Ardner will again place his hopes in Smoke Gyurko and Ed Solo- mon. Solomon crushed Bear hope? in the first game with his one-handed pivot shots. Neeb has also player' fine ball this year. Whether the Mechanics will be able to set up their zone defense on the Bear floor as well as they did on their own floor may decide the game. Wood- ward has twice beaten Central, fore- most user of this type of defense, and may finally have found the key to beating it. Woodward's entire squad has be- come a clicking machine when they're on, as was shown by the Central game Tuesday. Scoring has been pretty evenly divided with the ex- ception of Payak. The Bears miss Irv Wisniewski's blackboard work but seemingly have plugged the hole by shifting Payak to the pivot shot. Curt Ransome, who has shifted from guard to forward, has also turned in some very fine play. They may try to pierce the Mechanics' defense by long shots from just outside the key- hole. Ed Sloan has very ably filled this spot. Thus the game will be a question of whether Homer Hanham bovs can break through the craftsmen defense and sufficiently tie up Solomon in the center slot, to come through and win.

The Woodward team consisted of but three members and exceptionally high totals was rolled by the Amerks keglers but they could not cope with the entries of the Mechanics. For the Bears Norm Sobecki, W. Bonkowski, and Bob Wy- sooki were the pin getters each hitting for pver 500 maples in three games. A total of 1601 pins was registered on series of 526 by Bonkowski, 527 by Sobecki and Wysocki's 549. Woodward Varsity Five Clip Libbey In Third Period Rush Woodward wound up their city series with Libbey by utilizing a third quarter rally to trip the Cowboys 49 33. Libbey gave the Bears quite a tussel before finally succumbing to the sharp- shooting Woodward five. Johnny Payak and Curt Ransome proved to be the twin explosives that together scored 39 points, alone enough to beat Libbey. Johnny, playing in the pivot, had Yaek and Carmen falling all over him with the result that Yaek fouled out and Carmen had two personals before the game ended. Payak lead the scoring with 21 points, and Capt. Ransome followed with 18. Pete lead Libbey with 14.

WILSON WEIS REACH NEW RECORD Central Victory Number 24, Harrison Paces Cub's Win Over Irish Woodward's reserve squad won their twenty-fourth consecutive vic- tory last Tuesday over a scrapping Central reserve squad to the tune of 36 to 26. By virtue of this win the Cubs smashed the 23rd consecutive game Winning streak record which was previously held by a Libbey reserve squad of several years ago. Coach Wilson Weis, who has been steering the lightweights for two years, has been on the short end of the score only twice in the last 26 visits to the hardwood. These two defeats were those handed last year's reserve team which also started this year's Harrison connected on several one- handers and started the team on their second point grabbing spree. The local reserves held a 25-7 mar- gin at the half time. The second half found the Central team climbing upon the margin built up by the Blue and White team but they couldn't overcome the lead which the Polar Bears had piled up in the early stages of the game. As the last stanza got underway, the Cherry Streeters began hitting again and finally pulled within six points of the Bear reserves but two fast fielders by Woodward built the margin to 10 points which was the final margin at the Sounding of the gun. The Woodward lightweights are now at the top of the city league with nine wins and no losses. G. E. T.P.

The early part of the battle was all Central, as the Irish, utilizing a three-man fast break with Jacobs in the center, hit three quick baskets before Payak, dribbling in from the corner, scored a neat one hander to break the ice. Woodward, with Payak sparking, pulled to within one point of Central, midway in ine first period. The game developed into a parade to the foul line, with Central holding a slim lead at the end of the first quarter. I The Bears began finding the range in the second quarter and gradually moved into a 23-21 lead at half time. The game was extremely rough and Danner of Central and Miller of Woodward left the floor at the half with three fouls on them. The quarter found Joe Jacobs, the Irish scoring luminary, getting hot and pulling Central to a 25-25 tie with the Bears. At this point Danner was evicted on personals and Paul Stutz replaced him. This made two Central players out, Judhan previously having been waved to the bench. Long began finding the hoop from the corner, and this coupled with the fine play of Payak and Ransome. kept the Bears out in front. With 70 seconds left to play, Woodward froze the ball effectively and Sloan got a death grip on it near the sidelines. It slipped from his grasp and Payak kicked it out of bounds as the game ended. Payak was the Woodward scoring leader as he connected for 18 points. Ransome folowed with 10, and played a brilliant defensive game, and Long collected 8. Jacobs led Central with 18 points. Tattlerettes Smash Sophsg Beginner Boys Win Luckily The Tattler staff and the journal- ism class broke even in a pair of basketball games this week. In the first game the Tattler boys played magnificent ball, only to lose by a whisper in the final moment of play. Skeeter Bonkowski played brilliant ball to lead the Tattler staff with 8 points. Wolfe, the .staff star, was handicapped by knee injuries, and was held to one fielder. The begin- ners, in newswriting and basketball, flung wild shots at the basket, some of which accidently went in and pro- vided the final 17-10 margin. Reich- lin led the lucky sophs with 6 points. Sweet revenge was gained next day when the terrific Tattlerettes won a sparkling 9-6 victory over the jour- nalism girls. Betty Buyea, Alice Dyer and Betty Timmons played great defensive ball, controlling the backboard and com- pletely stopping the sophomore at- tack. On the scoring end, Milly Bogdan- ski was the shining light as she con- nected for four points. Lucille Foley was next with 3 and Angeline Bokan got 2. Bokan was the first to score. The Tattler girls outplayed their opponents all the way and Eileen Trondle accidently got 4 points to pace the soph attack. Notice! All boys and girls are asked to check their small and large gym lockers to see that they are locked and all belongings are in the small and not the large lockers. Your coop- eration is asked because gym shoes and locks are not easily replaced. THE WOODWARD TATTLER ref S TATTLE Won't see all you Woodwardites un- til next Tuesday.

LaRue called a special meeting after school last Monday to introduce Red Cross classes into Wood- ward. However, because of the lack of teachers and special training, it was decided that these classes would be curtailed somewhat. During the course of events it was agreed that nutrition alone would be stressed. Once a week fifteen minute talks will be prepared and given over the P. A. system. Miss Hazelton was named chairman of this. Floyd Lords, Miss Camilla Sav- age, and Mrs. Mary O'Brien of general science, everyday living, and biology, respectively, are making out an inten- sified study of nvtriants, vocabulary related to body nutrition, and the effects of the right food to the body. These teachers who attended this meeting include the following: Mrs. Lois Draves who represented glrls' physical education, Arthur Smith, for boys' gym, Floyd Lords as head of the science department, Miss Camilla Sav- age representing the everyday living classes, Mrs. Mary O'Brien, biology classes, Miss Blanch Hazelton, Miss Angela Abair, Mrs. Lola Bowyer, Mrs. Freda McDonald, and Miss Mary Buck, the home economics department, and Miss Hazel Coy, the school nurse. Food Classes Experiment With Meat Saving Problem The girls in Miss Angela Abair's advanced food classes have been exper- imenting, and most successfully, with the problem of Ending how to prepare tempting dishes without the usual amount of meat, now that it is difficult to obtain. After simmering on a very low fire a pound of lamb shoulder, the girls found there was one pound of lamb left and 4 cups of liquid. The class was divided into six families, each containing four girls. Each familiy received lg pound of meat and one half to three tourths cup of liquid. The girls were to make up their own recipe and see how the meat was to be prepared so it could serve the four. Other ingredients which were used included mixed vegetables, string beans spaghetti, rice, tomatoe juice, potatoes, bacon, cheese, and turnips. When the girls finished they had enough to serve 24 people. Not only did they eat the food but said it was very delicious. The girls al- so named their own recipes giving such interesting titles as, Red Flannel Hash, Lambkin Goulash, Victory Special, U.S.A. CUncle Sam Approvesl, Spanish Lamb A La Creole and Crackers, and Lamb Stretcher and Muffins. Matheny's Class Organizes Community Project Group Under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, the second hour advanced speech class has begun organizing a community project group. The duties of this group will be to present, at a moment's notice, various types of entertainment to anyone desir- ing it. Representatives of the speech class will contact the presidents and advisors of the Victory Corps, clubs, and musi- cal organizations, to secure talent for this project. If you are not in any of these organ- izations and you feel that you have talent, contact Mrs. Matheny in 241 or any second hour speech class student. Further details will be found in next week's Tattler. Due to the fact that so many B schedules and the leaving of the program chairman, there will be no , class meeting as scheduled for seniors. 4.

Yes, I know that food rationing doesn't begin until next week, but I have a special formula pill which, when swallowed, puts you to sleep and gives you dreams of the future. Why, there is Mrs. Marie Ersig flitting here and there. She is shop supervisor . Smiling charmingly at irate consumers- a soft answer turneth away wrath -she soon sooths them enough so that they walk out frather sulkily, we admitl with one ration book. Well, well, Mrs. Er- sig is a clock Watcher and she just ran out two minutes before 3:30. Diane is still at the nursery-prob- ably hollering I want my momma! and then giggling that cute little giggle. Note: Want Ad-Mrs. Erisg wants a maid. . I'm not tired so I stayed to see the second shift come on. I didn't stay long, so this is all I can relate. Mrs. Mary Crouse, supervisor, is pacing the floor with a glint in her other- wise cheerful eye-a firm glint. She is a friend of Prentice Brown. You get one book, lady, and some stamps removed at that, because you are over your quota in canned goods -so there, too. The cruel woman. Yes, these are the things I saw as I gazed into the future. Oh, you great, big, handsome man! Don't you think you could ar- range for me to get two ration books? My, Mr. Lords, what beautiful blue CI thinkj eyes you have, and you are so-o-o-o kind. There I saw Mr. Floyd Lords let- ting feminine flattery influence him He is always being flattered, you know. Another thing I couldn't figure out was: Why is Mr. Lords on the swing shift? I always thought that the swing shift was worked by nu- merous bundles of feminine pulchri- tude. Gosh, my pill wore off, and be- fore I got the answer, too. I guess it must be because Floyd is just so darn cute! After all, mostly Women come for ration books. Junior Members of Tattler Staff Take Over Positions Starting this week the juniors on the Tattler are taking turns at assisting the senior members ofthe staff.

Advanced Child Care Pupils Make Toys For Child Nursery While studying toys suitable for pre-school children, Miss Angela Abair's advanced child care class of twelve decided to see how cheaply they could make some toys from com- monplace materials. The finished toys are to be sent to the newly organized nursery at Hamilton school. Using oatmeal boxes to make drums. cheese boxes to make carts, wood for blocks, and on orange crate to make doll beds, the girls have pro- duced a brightly colored array of toys which will help to entertain many children cared for at .the nursery. In addition to these toys, a doll made of old spools, and picture puzzles of cardboard have been made. Help from many sources was re- ceived in this project. Mrs. Isla Van Ranken contributed some small clothes outrown by her own children. Miss Blanch Hazelton's advanced sewing classes made doll clothes and bed coversa Joy Mohrhardt and several of S. B. Crouse's woodshop boys assisted and cut the heavier wooden pieces. Miss Clark, who is in charge of the nursery, contributed paint.

Europe's Children printed in 'f X the Saturday Evening Post of February 20, James Wood John- 4 son writes of the terribly devas- tating eH'ects the war is having upon the children in the sub- jugated countries. Over a year l ago he quotes a school teacher of Southern France as saying, It's not the childven's fault if they are falling so far behind in their studies. They're very inattentive and forget- ful, but they don't mean to be that way. It's only be- cause of what hunger is doing to them. Since then the children have gone much farther down the pathway of misery. What has happened in France has also happened in Poland, Holland, Norway, Greece and Spain. In the latter country the children went through a long period of Civil War before the long drawn out hunger ofthe pres- ent coniiict. Although Spain is a neutral country all her neighbors are in the war and food supplies are extremely hard to get. Up to the present time the only country that we have been able to help at all is Greece and even the help seems to be too little and too late. Thou sands of children have starved to death and they ones that survive are likely never to recover their normal state of health and mind. A The heritage of childhood in any country should be hopefulness and happinessg but the lot of the children is malformation, despair and a hopeless state of mind. How can we expect to solve the problems of a lasting peace for a generation such as this. Contrast these children with the ones in Germany, fairly well fed and filled with the pro- paganda ot hate. Unless something is done and quickly to restore a fair semblance of equality by feeding Europe's downtrodden millions of children all our peace plans will go awry. The problems of aiding these unfortunates are many and varied. It must be done but it must also be done without in any way helping the cause of the Enemy. The only chance now seems to be through the plan now being used in Greece. This is being worked out through the Red Cross. We should watch these plans carefully and at the pro- per time give them our whole-hearted support. Woodward Receives Praise for Rationing I-lE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS of Wood- ward should feel very satisfied and congratu- late themselves on the part they have taken in rationing. Last week at the principals meeting, Mr. Disher, principal of LaGrange school, rose before the meeting and publicly praised the work of the Woodward students who assisted in gas rationing at his school. These students and teachers, who have assisted the United States government in the necessary job of rationing, have exhibited true patriotism. Rationing is a gigantic enterprise which is being handled admirably by these volunteers. To all those who helped in point rationing this week, for their fine job and fine spirit, we extend sincere appreciation and congratulations. l I gl U ffl, W Uhlxzifh I f if I f , If lf ' 1 Tix lag-35' YoU NAME IT I A name for this column has been our goal for a long time.

THE WOODWARD TA'I'1'LER irii3ciilAN1C OUINTET p , iq TRIP LOCALS, 32-25 ,ri fff' Macomber Squad Roll Easily ,,?'il1Q.9- ff. Over Woodward Five ' ' X In Third Period The Woodward Polar Bears are again all knotted up for the key po- sition in the high school basketball race because of the 32-25 beating handed them by the Macomber five. Coach Wally Ardner's quintet got off to a quick start by a hook shot by Solomon, the Mechs center, and a long by McEwen to put the down- town quintet four points ahead of Homer Hanham's boys. The Bears began to hit about four minutes after the opening whistle when Payak hit one from the pivot position and a few seconds later, through his guard was falling all over him, successfully made the under the bucket shot attempted. Johnny then made the free throw and Woodward was out in front 5 to 4. From this point to the half the local five were on the long end of the score and at the intermission led 19-18. The second half Macomber seemed to hit from all over the floor with Solomon leading the attack from the pivot and under the bucket and both acomber guards swishing the longs from about mid-court. Although Woodward had the shots, with the ex- ception of Payak, the majority was off and the downtown quintet pulled away in the closing minutes of play. John Payak, and Ed Solomon shared scoring honors for the evening, both hit for 14 mark-ers apiece. This tilt, ,more than any since his enlistment, showed how much the team really missed Irvin Wisniewski's backboard work.

BEAR FIVE ENGAGE DeVILBISS TONIGHT City Championship At Stake For Polar Bear Squadg Tigers Dangerous Fighting to stay in the race for the city championship, the W00dW3-id Polar Bears will travel out Upton Avenue tonight to meet the tough DeVilbiss Tigers. The Tigers, with Jack Pfiffer spear- heading a speedy attack are plenty dangerous, and are one of the two teams to trip Macomber this year. Playing on their home floor Scotty Florence's lads can be doubly tough and may be just the outfit to knock the Bears out of first place. Woodward's offensive faded in the second half against Macomber and should this happen again at DeVilbiss, the Bears may find themselves on the short end of the final score. The Bengals have a speedy attack and in Brown, Oalds and Pfiffer have three men who are consistent scoring threats. The last time these teams met the Bears staged a last quarter rally to edge out a win. In any case the Bears will have to be at full strength and of late Payak and Knier- em have been the only two playing ball. The game will be close, and a hot night by two or three of the Bears could mean the difference. In the preliminary the Reserves will go after number 26 against the Tiger WOODWARD RESERVES CHALK-UP WIN NUMBER 25 OVER MECHS Central Keglers Easy Prey For American Bowling Team Woodward's American bowling squad had a good morning last Sat- urday as they hit for a team total of 2,119, to hand the high flying Central keglers three defeats in as many starts. The Bears were consistent for they opened with a 680 then hit for 692 and closed with their 747 which was high for both squads. Norman Sobecki, lead off man, was the pin getter for the Bears getting a 566 series. Norm reached the high- ly coveted double center mark twice on games of 207 and 204 but his 155 open prevented him from getting a 600 series. Bob Wysocki and Walt Bonkowski also hit the 500 series mark with 532 and 525 respectively. Scoring: lst 2nd 3rd Total N. Sobecki .........,,. 155 207 204 566 A. Matusiewicz...155 159 145 459 W.

I cet ' Skoof :ey Although without the services of their regular center, Bob Harrison, who has been moved up to the varsity, Woodward's reserve squad looked very efficient against Macomber last Fri- day. Calvin Duhart filled the gap left by Harrison very capably . . . Up 'til now, the varsity basketball team was afraid to make money bets with the reserves on the lightweight game but it seems as though many basketball players from our school and from other schools are now willing to back the Scott reserve team in the last game of the league competition ........, The two handsome sailors you have undoubtedly seen around school were Red Blackowski and Sugar Cukierski. Both bovs were counsellors under Homer Hanham at Camp Big Silver last summer ....,.... The American bowling team seems to be in some sort of scoring spree this last round for very seldom has it happened that a mem-I ber of that squad has hit for less than a 500 series ......... The boys in the varsity locker room have discontinued the singing of the Strip Polka-they now amuse themselves by listening to Cal Duhart recite.

Sally Draves suggested she come to school and teach the rest gym girls how to use it. However, the girls seem to be catching on quickly as to how to balance the men. Remember the green man always goes on the bottom. x'Duhart, Lentz Pace Attack As Cubs Hold City Loop Lead Overcoming a shaky start, Wood- ward lightweights chalked up number 25 against Macomber by a score of 33-23. This record breaking streak's the longest ever compiled by a Toledo re- serve squad. The 1941-42 Libbey team had a 22- game win streak which was the for- mer record. The Bears Cubs played before a sellout crowd and their battle was every bit as exciting as the varsity game. Harrison's slot was ably filled by big Calvin Duhart, who shows promise of definitely becoming a fine center. Playing without Bob Harrison, now on the varsity, Coach Weis shifted Paul Seymour to the pivot and Cal Duhart into the corner. The Cubs had trouble getting started until Sey- mour connected for a fielder, and Duhard got a tip shot, to start the attack moving. Duhart played beauti- fully, controlling the backboard and sparking the offense. Seymour played excellent ball in the pivot and set up most of the scoring plays. Cal Duhart lead the scoring, getting 10 points, Lentz had 8, Vertlebeck 6, fl-Iacynles 3, Sloan 2, and Paul Seymour a . Carl Cotter Explains War Production Training Here Carl Cotter, Director of Vocational Training for War Production Work- ers, from the Board of Education, in- troduced a vocational training pro- gram to all seniors who will be 18 in June at an assembly Tuesday during sixth hour.

Tsk! wk HF lk From the material furnished by the Red Cross, Mrs. Lola Bowyer's clothing class is making dresses for girls of two years of age. Each girl is making a dress of a different style. The happiness the Red Cross brings to children in the Ozark Mountains was evident after reading a letter received by Mrs. Mary O'Brien. The letter told of the joy of the children when they are given such things as partly used lip sticks, scarves, fancy pins, mechanical toys fwhich they had never seen beforej blocks, and numerous other articles. The Life magazine which the Wood- ward Red Cross sent them, was not only used as reading and picture mat- ter, but was also used to wrap sweet potatoes, and as well paper to make the rooms warmer and cleaner look- ing. The letter cited an instance where a child of nine had to take care of a family of six after her mother's death. After keeping the house, without mod- ern facilities, she still managed to can 500 quarts of vegetables and fruits. Drawing water from the well. and chopping wood were a few of her hardships, but she was brought happiness when she received a coat, dresses, shoes. and make-up which Red Crossers had sent to the school there. The writer of the letter, M. M. Guilbeau expressed her thanks to the Red Cross for the things they sent to the Ozarks, which did much to bring joy to the people there. Scharer Reveals Secrets As Student Of The Classics A handsome lad, a good football player, a fine English student, a true lover of the works of Shakespeare and a member of Woodward's record breaking reserve basketball team that's Donald lDon5 Sharer. Don, as he prefers to be called by Woodward's females, has been with the lightweights last season when they began their 25 game winning streak and this year he helped build this record and hopes to further it in the remaining city league games. His sports abilities are not only confined to basketball for Don was a member of the lightweight football team and threw the discus and the 100 yard dash on Doc Welever's track teams. And again not only are his abilities confined to sports for he hopes some day to have his name among the immortal such as Shakes- peare, Poe, Longfellow, Bryant, etc. At the present he is working toward this goal by beginning as a humorist. He was the inventor of the famous cheer- Massachusetts State Institu- tion of Technology, Rah! Rah! Rah! In a very blushing and shy man- ner he revealed the initials B.M. which was undoubtedly the inspira- tion of his working so very conscien- tiously to reach such a great height. Kanney's Sixth Hour Class Studies Ancient Mariner Each pupil in Miss Kanney's sixth hour English class is required to mem- orize at least two stanzes of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Edward Voss memorized the first two parts of this poem, consisting of 43 stanzas. A drawing of Life in Death made by one of Miss Kanney's former pupils is posted on the bulletin board. Grads on Honor Roll Five former Woodward students have been named to the honor roll at the University of Toledo among whom are seniors, Donna Partridge and Jennie Payakg sophomore, Patty Hamrnontreeg freshmen, Betty Mae Dalzell and Anise Seed.Woodward is well represented,as the total on the honor roll was 98 students. the advisors of the band, glee club, and orchestra, outstanding members of each organization who have been working this past year without recog- nition, have been chosen to be inter- viewed. Donna Merrill An up and coming student stated Guy Sutphen of Donna Merrill, junior alto saxophonist of the Woodward Band. Donna, five-foot-three of dy- namic musical ability is topped with a head of attractive brown hair which goes well with her sparkling eyes of brown. Holding the office of secretary- treasurer of our band, she is also a member of the Adams Township Band. Being a patriotic girl, Donna chose blue and white as her favorite colors. Among her other favorites are songs: Stars and Stripes Forever and Moonlight Becomes You. Boy friend, Verl Frazier, also a Wood- wardite. John Gora Our next interviewee is John Gora, business manager of the orchestra. Not only does he hold an office in the orchestra, but he is number one man of the Glee Club, the president. This brown-haired senior is violinist of our orchestra and sings tenor with our warbling Glee society. He has been in both organizations for four years and is an excellent product of Parkland grade school. When asked about the Band, Glee Club, Orchestra concert. Johnny proudly, and righteously said, lt is going to be the biggest event of the year, and the best. Chicken-ala-king heads his list of favorites. As to his feminine inclina- tions, he would not commit himself, but you can be sure it has something to do with the Ursaline Academy. Velvet Moon is the melody which Johnny considers top-flight. Doris Kanipe Treasurer of the Glee Club is brown haired. blue eyed, Doris Kanipe. Along with her duties in the Glee Club, Doris is treasurer of the senior class and superintendent of the halls on the Student Council. She is also a mem- ber of the newly organized Victory Corps. Doris hopes to become an executive secretary although she will not at- tend college. Her main heart interest is Clem Kukawinski, a radio tech- nician in the Army Air Corps. Her favorite song is Moonlight Mood, favorite food is chop suey, and fa- vorite of favorites is dancing. I I think we should have community sings to help build the morale, was the closing statement of Doris Kanipe. , Dorothy Pasch Is Reclected Officer Of Teacher's Club Miss Dorothy Pasch, Woodward Eng- lish teacher, has again been elected secretary of the Toledo Teachers' As- sociation. The association, the oldest and lar- gest organization of its kind in the city is composed of the educational employees in Toledo. Alvin Youngquist, Waite mechanical drawing teacher, is the new president succeeding Wood- ward s Clyde Van Tassel. The school's own principal, C.C. LaRue, was also at one time secretary of the group. Miss Pasch, who has served the assoc- iation for several years, is also secretary of the Classroom Teachers of Ohio. Miss Stella Sawtelle is distributing to the different departments in school a list of new books obtained by the library each month. In this manner Miss Sawtelle hopes that students will discover books they would like to read from this list. l 1 l l .

Student Workers To Take Over Corps' Lunch System A new system has been worked out for giving student workers in the cafe- teria credit in the Victory Corps for the hours of service they give. Instead of giving everyone who signed for work his ten hours of credit, attendance will be taken and only those present will receive credit. During the fourth hour lunch Deriod, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, Mrs. Marie Ersig, Arnold Brown and Joe Dence will talle attend- ance. O. M. Thompsom, Miss Gertrude Kaney, and Mrs. Ersig will serve dur- ing fifth hour. In addition, as soon as these stu- dents can handle it, the whole system will be turned over to them. At pre- sent the students are assisting the teachers in checking students as they leave and seeing that no one takes food out into the halls. Later on they will be stationed at both endr of the hall outside the cafeteria to prevent students from leaving the second fioor before the bell rings. Vol. XV Give Freely to the Red Cross.

OOD ARD TATTLER Toledo, Ohio, March 5, 1943 No. 21 WOODWARD HELPS RED CROSS DRIVE O'Brien Says Contributions i Are To Be Entirely Volimtary The President of the United States, who is president of the nation's Red Cross organization as well, has set aside the entire month of March as the Red Cross month. Therefore, the drive to raise funds for this worthy organization started last Monday, the first day of March, and will be con- tinued till the end of the month. Mrs. Mary O'Brien, head of the Woodward chapter of the Red Cross, reported that although contributions in this drive are wholly voluntary, the sum of S582 had been collected through Mrs. O'Brien from Woodward teachers by Wednesday of the past week. Mrs. O'Brien expressed no doubt that the total of their contribu- tions would exceed this sum by a large margin. The pupils of Woodward will be encouraged to contribute freely to the Red Cross starting next Monday and continuing throughout the week. This will constitute the Red Cross drive for the pupils of Woodward. Dona- tions will be collected in home rooms. There is no compulsion as to the amount of the donation. However, as Mrs. O'Brien termed it, This money collected will be used for those boys out there, those boys cov- ering all fronts, in the Pacific, on the Atlantic, on land, in the air, on the sea. This knowledge should give Woodward the incentive to donate every possible penny. The Red Cross doesn't name an amount and demand that it be given in. It just requests that everyone donate whatever he feels he can give to those boys who are fighting across the seas, fighting and losing their lives for America and freedom? Mrs. O'Brien also stated, There may be no compulsion to the amount of the donation, but there is also no limit to what you can give to the Red Cross. Community Service Badges Determined By Committee The Community Service committee of the Victory Corps has settled fur- ther questions which have arisen in accordance with the distribution of community service badges. They have announced that participa- tion in the various activities, such as Red Cross work, hall patrol, student council, and the others which will be counted as credits, will be credited since the opening of school on Septem- ber 9. Stubents may obtain printed certification blanks, to be certified by the sponsors of these various activites, from room 126. The Victory Corps will hold its sec- ond induction services March 12. At this time, pupils who have applied for membership since the last meeting will be inducted. Also, community ser- vice badges will be presented to stu- dents who have the required certified fifty clock hours. In the future, the above mentioned services will be held approximately every six weeks. Second Induction To Be Held The second meeting to be held for inducting Woodward students in the Victory Corp will be Friday, March 12. The members who have already com- pleted their requirements .for member- ship are now completing their hours for advancement in their land, sea, or air division.

Red Cross Helps Mountaineers RS. MARY O'BRIEN, director of the Wood ward Junior Red Cross, received an amazing letter last Week. The letter was from M. M. Guilbeau, a missionary, in the Ozark moun tain. The letter was a vivid description of the wretch- ed conditions existing in the mountains and of the wondeiful help the Woodward Red Cross has given Mrs. Guilbeau in helping to ease these conditions. The conditions in the Ozarks are unbelievable to us, who enjoy modern convienencies. The walls of some mountain shacks are actually papered with pages from magazines sent by the Woodward Red Cross. This serves to emphasize the great work being done by our chapter of the Junior Red Cross. At this moment, the Woodward Red Cross has 18 boxes of d scarded clothing and toys ready for shipment. Perhaps, after the present rationing, a drive to collect materials for the mountain folk will be held. H Start saving things now. They may make some boy or girl happy. . Ration Rewards UST a word again, to thank all the students who helped in rationing War Ration Book No. 2. You were, indeed, a great help. The teachers too, did a great job, especially the ones in charge, of each hour--Mrs. Crouse, Mr. Lords, and Mrs. Ersig. You should all realize a self-satisfaction, of help- ing Mr. LaRue, the above named teachers, and most of all, the United States government. Your generosity will not be forgotten. Thanks - Print Shop , HE Tattler wishes to express through its edito- rial column its sincere thanks to the print shop. Without the hard work of Hugh Montgomery and the boys and girls in the print shop.we would not have produced a Tattler last week.

Homer Hanham leads his Bears into' the tournament in the underdog! spot, with experts rating both De- Vilbiss and Macomber above them. Central's defending champs are also a dark horse favorite, and all in all, the tournament should prove more wide open than last year when Wood- wiard and Central dominated play. i No one should count the Bears out., The Woodward team of December :could have beaten any team in the city, and they may yet attain that early season form. True, they've lost the height of Irv Wisniewski, ,but other teams have lost stars and con- tinued to play Winning ball, teams that didn't have a Johnny Payak to move into the pivot, or a Bob Harri- son to bring up from the light- weights. The Bears will have to play alert, heads-up ball to survive in the tourna- ment, and they'll need every player at his best. The suburban quintets will be much better this year. Both Clay and Rossford boast exceptionally fine records. basis of play in the city legue. 41 as is Before getting into the actual player selection, we give you as coaches ofthe year Wally Ardner, and Homer Han- ham. Hornets selection is almost routin, for he stands head and shoulders above any high school coach in the city. Year after year he has molded fine teams and kept Woodward at or consistently near the top of the loop. Ardner's suc- cess has been little less than spectacu- lar. Enjoying his first year at the helm of the Mechs he has made the name of Macomber respected in basketball cir- cles for the first time in seven years. HF ill PK As for the actual team we have se- lected the players on the basis of play- ing ability, sportsmanship. and value to their teamsg following is the first. At forwards, Joe Jacobs, crack Central star and one of the states top point getters, and Johnny Payak of Wood- ward, another of the state offensive big guns. Selecting a center was the hard- est task, and after careful deliberation we give Jack Piiifer, of DeVilbiss a slight nod over Ed Solomon, and Jack Danner. Our guards are Tommy Rutter, Macomber, and Capt. Curt Ransome of Woodward, the city s outstanding floor men and play directors. -l-it Timmons, Cieslewski: Drop School, Staff Jobs For Work Betty Timmons and Evelyn Cieslew- ski, members of the Tattler staff. have withdrawn from school, but are going to night school in order that they might graduate.

Reserves Defeat DeVilbiss, Seymour, Lentz Pace Attack In the preliminary tilt, Woodward's reserve squad came from behind to beat the Tiger lightweights 37-28 and to lengthen the winning streak to 26 consecutive wins. DeVilbiss drew blood first on a one hander from the foul line by aTiger guard but points by Lentz and Seymour put Woodward in the lead. The Bear Cubs held a two point edge over the West Siders at the intermission. The third quarter found the Tiger re- serves hitting from almost all angles and midway in the third period they not only cut down the Woodward lead, but held a three point edge over the North End cagers. With the pressure on Woodward worked together very well with Seymour and ,Lentz getting quick buckets to build an 8 point lead at the whistle. Shorter sank one from the field to make it 2-2. The first qu rter saw both squads hitting a couple of buckets but still in the warm-up stage. At the end of the quarter the score was 8-5 in fa- vor of the Bears. At this point the Bears forged ahead and left the boys from Collingwood Avenue a mile behind. Woodward had a 19 point lead at the half. The rest of the game was merely a target practice for Homer Hanham's squad. The game started as a foul shooting contest with the Bears going ahead on Payak's six shots. For individual play Payak ranked first. Although he left the game before the half he was high point man with 13 points. Peanuts Long and sophomre Bob Harrison played a fine brand of ball. The Bulldogs, best man on the floor was Spiropolous with 6 points. The stating lineups were: Scott Woodward Shorter F Long Spiropolous F Ransome Coffman C Payak Shutt G Miller Walker G Sloan Sensational Reserve Squad Clinches City Championship Wilson Weis, sensational Reserve team wound up a brilliant season by rolling over a highly touted Scott team, 36-20. ' For the first time this year the Cubs entered the game as underdogs, for the Scott team boasted all of the Sophomores who last year won the freshman championship, and who, un- til just recently, had been playing varsity ball. ' However, Woodward started fast and Paul Seymour played brilliantly to spark an attack which soon left the Bulldogs far behind. 1 The Reserves built their lead stead- ily with the help of Cal DuHart's fine backboard work and the shooting of Seymour and Sunny Lentz. Howard Haynes and Don Scharer, a late season find, alternated at for- ward to play fine floor games and each contributed two fielders to the attack. , Kringle and Nugent, Scott stars, were kept effectively bottled by the solid Cub defense. n All in all it was a brilliant finish to a brilliant season. The Cubs, of course, won the city lightweight crown, making the second successive year the honor has gone to Wood- ward. Wilson Weis has done a mar- velous job in piloting the Cubs.

PROVES SUCCESS Freshman Receives Credit MEETING, MARCH 12 Victory Corps To Present XH RATION PROGRAM PLAY TO HIGHLIGHT is ,I For Serving 31 Hours At Parkland The Ration program at Woodward ran very smoothly and could be pro- claimed a success C. C. LaRue stated that the organization was so perfect that the workers could have taken care of many more applicants for War Ration Book No. 2. The total for the first day was 752, Wednesday,552,Thursday,1447, Friday, 926, and Monday, 470. The shift from 1 to 3:30 issued the most books. The total issued during that period was 2118 books while the other two shifts combined issued a total of 1992 books. The total books issued during the whole ration period was 4110 books. Contrary to expectations, the first day was not a rush day. The busiest day was Thursday with the first shift distributing 729. The busiest day was shifts combined issued 718 books. On the dullest day was the last, March 1, when 470 books were given out. The first shift issued 253 books, and the other two 217 books combined. Mrs. Marie Ersig, was in charge of the first shift, Mrs. Mary Crouse, the second shift, and Floyd Lords, the third shift. C. C. LaRue was site administrator. Students who worked at Woodward or the grade schools to help with the rationing will be given credit for as many hours as they worked. These credits will go toward earning a com- munity service badge in the Victory Corp. Lorraine Kwiatkowski, freshman, worked both shifts at Parkland school to attain 31 credit hours. o Juniors Hold Senior Staff Positions For Junior Issue Since the J-Hop is a junior class dance, the publication for that week is a junior publication. Reporters on the staff are given key positions so that the paper will be their own. Susanne Loerke took charge as edi- tor-in-chief.Other positions were: Bea- -trice Bialecki, assistant editor, Lucille Foley, news editor, Ruth Komisarek, feature editor, Norbert Zakolski, boys' sports, Christine Pavlos, girls' sports, Florence Baker, column, Robert Hal- lett, exchange, Norman Wolfe, Call to Arms, and Sidney Adams and Walter Bonkowski, copyreaders. Mrs. Marie Ersig is adviser of the group. Sectional Conference Held, Physical Fitness Stressed A sectional meeting of Northwestern Ohio physical education teachers and administrators at Bowling Green was the destination of Mrs. Lois Draves, Miss Catherine McClure, Homer Han- ham, Art Smith, and Watson Welever, last Saturday. The conference, which extended over one day, emphasized physical fitness as a necessity in the present war pro- gram. Speakers, discussions, and a s e ri e s of demonstrations by high school and college pupils were present- ed. Dancing, marching, swimming and exercising were among the displays. A soldier from Guadalcanal stressed the importance of boys being in condition while the endurance of girls in stren- uous exercises contrasted with the lit- tle strength prevalent in Woodward Girls. Applied to Woodward. gym instruct- ors have concluded that harder and more strenuous workin gym, especially for the girls must be given in order to meet new war requirements in physical itness. Service Badges To Pupils A program for Victory Corps members, March 12 during the as- sembly period, will be the first in a series of monthly meetings planned to promote further interest in this organization. Students who have earned 50 service points will be given full credit for their work by being presented with their com- munity service badges. At this time, there will also be an opportunity for pupils, who have not yet been made members of the Victory Corps but desire such, to join. Highlighting the affair will be a one act symbolic play Hitler Has a Vision, which will be presented by Woodward's dramatic class under the direction of Philip Mansour. Written by Otto Harbach, the presentation takes place in Hitler's palace at Berchtesgarden. George Marks will portray the part of Hitler, Richard Joseph that of Satan, and Roger Weiher, the Spirit of Decency. This play and others similar to it, have been sent to Miss Dorothy Warner, dramatics instructor, by the Writers' War Board. One of the Board's functions is to distribute without charge, such plays along with reports for reactions throughout the country. The dramatics class plans to pre- sent more of these plays if the first proves to be a success. At present, they are working on a choral reading of The Star Spangled Banner, which will be given in the near future. VOX-POP Dear Students: The present war has caused many difficulties, but the difficulties faced by the J-Hop arrangers has really been a problem. This problem which confronted the committee was concerning stags and service men at the prom. Students objected to the stags because they feared it would be an all girl affair. Discussions were held with teachers from other schools and it was dis- covered that the same problem arose in the other schools. To cope with this affair in the fair- est manner possible, the school has devised a plan by which upper-class stag girls may have dancing part- ners. For the past two days, girls who were definitely going stag were contacted. If these girls desired partners for dancing, they signed their names, and after getting a writ- ten permit from their parents were assured of dancers. How will it be worked? The num- ber of girls will be calculated, and by the end of the day, the Naval Armory will be called, and that num- ber of sailors will be invited. The girls must pay the price of admis- sion, but the service men will enter as guests of the junior class. Nevertheless, there are certain re- strictions passed as to the conduct of these girls. They will meet the sailors, and be formally introduced at the dance. But, under no circumstances are these girls to accept invitations to be escorted home. These are the conditions under which this plan has been devised. All students have been taken into consideration, and the committee tried to please all.

Along with these catalogues, govern- ment consumer pledges will be issued which will be signed by pupils who are going to have victory gardens this summer. These pledges will be sent to Washington and kept on file. Any pupil who signs one of these pledges is entitled to a badge showing that he belongs to the army of co- operation. Seeds can be bought in small amounts, and after the pupil has properly marked the catalogue and given the exact change, the teacher will total the amounts and tie the bundle, placing her list on top and send it to room 312. This will be done every morning for the next two weeks. Then the entire amount will be totaled and sent to the seed house. If it totals fifteen dollars or more, the school will receive a flag 3 feet by 5 feet. Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's classes are also going to help in furthering this campaign by giving speeches in the first hour classes. In April these classes plan to give a play and ad- mission will be by the showing of a packet of seeds. Orchestra, Band, Glee Club Concert Decided Success The Woodward orchestra playing without its conductor, Miss Bessie Werum, and having only two days rehearsel,paid a tribute to Miss Werum with its fine showing at the concert Wednesday night. Mr. Ball, substitute conductor, led the orchestra with a feeling and re- straint that speaks well of his musical abilities. Due to unavoidable circum- stances, two numbers were omitted from the orchestra program. Beginning with the stirring National Emblem March the Woodward band opened a program which was one of the most interesting of the Orchestra, Band and Glee Club concert. The pro- gram selected in rare good taste was chosen band numbers interperesed with well played solos. Mr. Sutphen quickly took command of the band and the audience with his sure and jovial manner, and his sharp wit soon warmed the audience to the band. One of Mr. Sutphen's more pop- ular ideas was the questioning of the audience concerning the titles of the selections played. The Glee Club once again gave a stirring performance, well worthy of acclaim. The male section was reinforc- ed by members of the Waite glee club and supported well the large chorus of girl singers. Lincoln Clark conducted. and was accompanied by Susan Timmel The selectins ran smoothly and reflect- ed a great deal of effort on the part of every singer. Puzzles Are Made For U S O The jig saw puzzles which are being made by S. B. Cfo1se's boys, forthe USO, are pictures obtained from calen- dars, magazine covers, etc. These puzzles are to be sent to the USO centers in Columbus, Washington, Camp Perry, and other centers where they are needed. The materials are Iurnished by the Red Cross. BOYS, GIRLS INSPECT VOCATIONAL HIGHSg TAKE TEST FOR ENTRANCE Freshmen Boys Pay Annual Visit To Macomber High School Woodward's freshman boys will make their annual visit to Macomber on Merch 24. These visits are intended as inspection tours for the boys who plan to be students of the school next se- mester. William G. Peoples, a representative of Macomber, will be here at Woodward March 16 to address the boys. All the boys who are interested are urged to attend. The visit will consume the entire day with the boys reporting to Macomber at regular schooi time. The sole obligation the visitors owe is that everyone attending must spend the afternoon taking an aptitude and intelligence test. To be eligible for en trance to Macomber, the applicant must pass these tests. Woodward has made an admirable record on these tests. Last year 193 boys took the test. Of this number 133 passed. Eighty-four enrolled the next semester as students. For reasons of their own, 49 boys who took the test remained at Woodward. The boys will begin the visit with a tour of the school, followed by lunch in the cafeteria, and will then spend the afternoon taking the tests. O. M. Thompson and Joy Morhhardh will supervise the visit and check the boys' attendance at Macomber. Principal Of Girls Vocational To Speak To Junior, Freshman Girls On March 15, Miss Wooden, principal of Whitney Vocational school, will speak to all freshmen and junior girls who might be interested in attending the vocational sohool next year. A movie that lasts twenty minutes will be shown before her talk. The reason junior girls are invited, is because the enrollment in cosmetology at the school has dropped and junior girls may take the course next year. The school can take 60 girls in the food classes, 60 in needle trade,70 girls in office practice, 70 girls in retailing, and 30 in household management. This number will be filled by combining pupils from all the academic high schools in the city. On Tuesday, March 16, Miss Heater from Whitney, will be at Woodward to give tests to girls who would like to attend the school nixt year. This is un- like the process followed by the boys, as they receive their tests while at Macomber. These apptitude tests will only be taken by girls interested, and only those who take the tests may go to inspect the school. The girls will visit Whitney on the same day the boys go to Macomber, March 24. They will report there at 9 a. m., and Miss Gertrude Kanney and Mrs. Lucille Farrell will go with them and check the attendance. Aviation Society Displays Airplanes Built By Members Realizing the importance of aviation in the world of today and the world to come, members of the Aviation So- ciety have constructed model airplanes which are fashioned after all types of planes. This exhibit, which has been on display in the show case off room 225, will continue to be shown next week. Airplanes were built by the following boys. Kenneth Herrick, who had charge of the display, Dick DeGruf, Stanley Lewandowski, Bill Pfefferly, Bill Val- ade, and Jack Cole. The Aviation Society expects to spon- sor an air circus which will be open to the entire school. A prize will be given to the owner of the best model airplane. This contest will be held in the early spring. Lawrence Nuber is advisor of the society. Woodward Red Cross Drive Closes For Month Of March The Red Cross drive, which started Monday March 8, came to a close today. Mrs. Mary O'Brien, head of the Red Cross, collected the money through the home rooms. Each day the amount col- lected was sent to room 314. Since contributions were wholly on the voluntary basis, no quota was set for each room. Pupils and faculty were urged to give as much as possible. The first two days of the collection totaled 316308. Teachers have 3147.50 of this amount. The pupils collection was 315.58. This collection was still in full swing Wednesday. This drive will end Woodward's contribution to the Red Cross for the month of March. Wetterman's Room High Miss Annie Wetterman's everyday living classes donated 34.50 to the American Red Cross. This money was from the proceeds of sales tax stamps, brought in by these two groups. Teachers, Students Given After-School Course In Shop Through the efforts of C. T. Cotter, director of vocational and industrial arts in the high schools throughout the city, and Principal C. LaRue, a course in machine shops will be taught to all teachers and students in Woodward who wish to enter. Paul O. Thomae, machine shop in- structor, has been selected to teach these prodigies the method of operat- ing such machines as: aLathe, a Millin, ing machine, shaper, surface internal and external grinder and profilers.

Pollock, Joy E. Mohr- hardt, Mr. and Mrs O. M. Thompson, Miss Belle Joseph, and Miss Dorothy Pasoh. Welever Subs In Boys' Gym There were no hygiene classes today because Watson Welever, the hygiene instructor, had to spend the entire day in the gym. Mr.Welever is taking Art Smith's place, who was unable to be in school today. It was necessary to use Mr. Welever because no substitute gym instructors are available. Unsats Total 352 The unsatisfactories which were distributed Thursday morning amount to a total of 352. The freshman boys lead witha number of 107 and were followed close by the sophomore boys with 98. The sophomore girls received 38 and freshman girls had 34, The jun- ior boys received 31 and the girls had 19, The seniors had the least of the Hisats. The boys had 14 and girls had TATTLER TO GIVE ACHIEVEMENT CUP Faculty, Pupil Committees Chosen To Arrange Program The spotlight shining on Recognition Day, which is held the last Friday of the school year and sponsored by the Tattler, centers on the awarding of the achievement cup to the most deserving senior boy or girl. The achievement cup annually given by the Tattler, is presented for distin- guished service and not necessarily for scholastic ability. All Woodward pu- pils will be given a chance to vote when next week a ballot will appear in the paper. All seniors will vote in home rooms in the near future. The ten highest people will be asked to submit all their activities of their high school years. These ten students will then be judged by a faculty committee with C.C. LaRue, ch iirmang being assisted by Miss Amie Miller, Clyde Meek, Floyd Lords, Mrs. Hazel McManamon, Mrs. Mary Crousei, O.M. Thompson, Miss Camilla Savage, and George Rohrer. These teachers are selected to cover the various depart- ments of studies. A student committee to plan this affair has Charles Mann, Alice Dyer, Norman Wolfe, Norbert Zakolski, and Beatrice Bialecki of the tattler staff. All students are eligible for the cup except those serving on the Tattler staff. The cup is metal, and if there is any question of patriotism, the answer is here, Doing business with the same jewelers for many years, the owner ordered several cups in advance so that this yearly practice would be con- tinued. Clyde Van Tassel's Classes Elect Club Representatives Clyde Van Tassel has made a prac- tice of forming a Visual Club every year since 1929 when he first arrived at Woodward. '1'his year the club has not as yet been fully organized, only the class representatives have been chosen. This was done by each of his classes. ln his second hour class, Sus- anne Wolfe was elected, third hour, Elaine Lyrowskig fourth hour, Michael- ine Grezecki, sixth hour, Vivian SkaH', seventh hour, Louise Bowroth. These representatives along with Mr. Van Tassel will carry on with the help ofthe classes. The function of the club will be to take care of the picture machines. Grace Labuszinski, Senior, Runner-up In Essay Contest Grace Labuszinski, senior, was named first runner up for Lucas County in ,the American Legion Essay Contest. This contest was open to all students who wished to write on What we as high school students can do to further the war effort. Two essays, one boy and one girl, were handed in from each English class. A girl from Notre Dame Academy, and a boy from Libbey High won first prize in Lucas County. Five service hours for the Victory Corps were given to each student who participated.

PRINCIPAL POINT X One morning last week when ff' the thermometer was hovering around zero and the sun was gl just peeping above the horizon, a cardinal perched on the top- most branch ofa tall hickory tree in the rear of the house and sang with all his might. His song, sweet at any time, was doubly so this morning. The extra cold, the scarcity of food, instead of dulling, accent- uated and glorified his voice. As I listened I could not help comparing his attitude with our own. Of course, in a way the situations are not really comparable, but it does no har-m to make such a comparison. The cardinal has his- song, his bright coat, and his cheery disposition created with him. We, because of superior reasoning powers create our own songs, our speeches and our raiment. Sometimes I feel that in the matter of our disposition and our attitudes we ' ave made a sorry job out of this creation. The cardinal is not oppressed by the war or by prospects of rationing. He has been rationed all his life. He lives each day joyously. He knows instinctively that food will be more plentiful, and so he sings even in the zero weather. Disaster to come does not touch him. l The famous poet Robert Burns speaking in sim- 1lar vein on the mouse he had ploughed up said, Still thou art blest compared wi' mel The present only toucheth thee: But Oh! I backward cast my e'e, on prospects drear! An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess an' fear! This was written more than one hundred and fifty years agog but man is still doubting, fearing, and crossing bridges before he comes to them. ,me i it .jf 1 fxlil' W ff W X655-ggi ffl' J -Hop Dance Success HIS YEAR'S J-HOP was truly a triumph. De- spite many odds aginst them, the junior class made a success of its annual dance. This was true in more ways than one. Thefinancial returns, which had been doubtful, exceeded all the expectations of the committee. The most important feature of this affair was the pleasant social contacts, which helped everyone to have a good time. The juniors, who planned this prom, should feel well rewarded for their eEorts. Many Thanks Mr. Thompson E WISH to take just a few moments to thank a man who has done much in Wood- ward, and yet has had no public recognition. This man, O. M. Thompson, has taken all the pic- tures that are shown in the Tattler, and most of those in the Saga. To you, Mr. Thompson, the Tattler wishes to express its thanks on behalf of the whole student body.

The Parrot. -1 Record Session Number one on our platter parade is Benny Goodman's rendition of a new jump tune, Do It Right . B. G.'s blowing, will more than raise you from your seat in listening to this song. While the tune has been more or less dormant so far as radio is concerned, the juke boxes have practically worn it out, bringing it to the attention of the top band leaders. No need for me to say -- it's a favorite. O I U Ships that pass at sea in the night is the parallel of this Wald waxing, Trains In the night. Only instead of ships its trains that come and go in the night, bringing passengers, mail, food, and every- thing that makesa nation alive.The theme of this Bob Russel and Buck Ram opus is an teresting one, and Jerry Wald and the boys treat it with due justice. The tune h s proved quite popular of late with the top bands around the country and has turned up on the most played list time and again in the pastfew weeks. Lending itself to background effects and trimmings, the recording proves ex- tremely listenable and danceable. 1 3 1 The favorite of favorites these days seems to be the haunting melody, That Old Black Magic. The hit tune of Star Spangled Rythymj' is waxed for you by the king of trumpet, Harry James. Many of the James records being made belong in an era- making category. Black Magic is a tune that will never fade with time. It's different haunting qual- ity will make it a stable disc that will always be among the favorites. At present is a sharp con- tender for Hit Parade honors. HK H4 SK Honoring Gene Krups, guest star of Toledo,,at the Parmount Theatre last week end, we dig up that ever popular Drum Boogie. Although now an old tune, its number one with Gene's fol1ower's Gene's drumming can' be equaled by any other as he's,the superman of the skines. Krups's drumming last week end set all Toledo rocking and asking for more. Those who saw him can verify that and those who didn't, wich they had.

The fine showing of the surburban quintets has been the surprise of the meet thus far. In the first round Sylvania knocked off a favored De- Vilbiss crew, Scott toppled Rossford and Waite bowed to Whitmer. PF PIC bis Tournament attendance has been excellent thus far. Monday has been the lowest day so far and Tuesday's crowd ranks first. ak ik is Toledo University also has tourna- ment fever, for the Rockets have re- ceived their second bid to the national tournament in M a di s o n Square Garden. Friddles freshmen astounded everybody by beating both Long Island and Lasalle without the aid of high scoring Dave Minor. With Dave back in shape the Rockets should cut quite a figure in the coming invita- tional. Ik Pls Pls In the High School meet several stars have como to the front. Jacobs and Neeb of Central, Windgate of Whitmer. Richard and Knorek of Rossford. and Long of Woodward all have looked plenty good in games thus far. is JF :F Macomber's freshly crowned city champs were crowned in another and less pleasant way Tuesday by Dutch Tscherne's fire wagon crew from Central. The Mechanics made the mistake of taking the Irish too lightly and got a rude awakening too late. This proved what we always knew about Central. They're a tournament team. Macomber walloped the Irish twice in league play. but the Yankees walloped the Cards in spring practice and remember what happened in the World Series. :li Plf elf In the tournament scoring race Joe Jacobs of Central ranked high going into the semi-finals.

BEAR BOWLERS END SEASON WITH WIN Kegler Squad Bowls Highest Games In Final City League Contest The Bowling season ended last Sat- urday as Woodward's American bowl- ing team rolled its highest games of the season when they won three games by a forfeit from the Libbey pinsters with a 2358 series. Woodward opened with a 661 series, then hit for 791. The final series was the big one with every member of the squad knocking the maples for a 190 game or better, and Skeeter Bonkow- ski leading the barrage of strikes in that set with a 215 closing effort. Sobecki, who is a freshman and a first year bowler at Woodward, is doing exceptionally well as leadoff man for the Amerks. Norm who rolled a steady 147 before the second round came back with a number of 500 series and one big 600 set to bring his average well into the 170 bracket. Andy Matusiewicz, also a first year bowler, is showing up to be great material for a future Amerk team. Andy, who was reserve material on the football team uses his muscular arm to a great advantage on the bowling alleys. Roger Weiher, who bowled at the beginning of the league but failed to finish the bowling season, was a vital cog on any winning bowling squad. Roger, who approached the foul line in a very peculiar manner hit the pins at a 145 gaite. Walter Bonkowski, who hits them from the number four position, bowled in the first four meets with a 150 average but because of a blistered finger, received in basketball, he was unable to finish first round bowling duties. The second round found him hitting second highest average on the team. Bob Wysocki, who bowls with the McGee Bros., and the Polish Falcons at the Mercury Recreation, holds down the high team average, second only to Junior Powell. Bob does more than hold his end down on the high school bowling team, for he bowls from the TALL BOB HARRISON MOVES TO VARSITY Stirring Record Climaxed As Soph Jumps To First String Bob Harrison, following in the foot- steps of Irv Wisniewski and Bill Cope- land by being advanced to the varsity basketball team in his sophomore year has started out with a splendid rec- ord. Great things are expected of him. Bob has played basketball since his grade school days at Lagrange. Here and on the Boys' club team, he acted as captain. A very versatile player, he can switch positions. He has played center, forward, and guard. Sports of almost any kind rate high with him. He played end on this year's lightweight squad and hopes to play first string varsity football next year. Swimming and softball consume much of his time left over after basketball, study, and training. On the lighter side, he has decided to take up roller skating. Since he is just learning, a major part of Bob's equipment is a pillow. Bob hangs around with the Sey- mour boys and George Rohrer, Homer Hanham, and Joseph Dence are his best liked teachers with French and history tops in the subject field. His favorite food is chili-sounds like Seymour influence. Also a champ at wolfing, the object of his affections is a Rossford girl. anchor position and is among the ten top bowlers in the entire schoolboy league. Bob leads the Amerks in the number of double century games and also in total pins and number of 600 series bowled.

BRUINS WIN OVER LIBBEY EASILY, 32-15 Victory Advances Bears To Semi-Finals In City Tournament Last Monday night the Woodward Bears completely outclassed the Cow- boys from Libbey to trim them sound- ly to the tune of 32-15. This win ad- vanced the Bears to semi-finals in the Toledo District Tournament. The game started slow with ab- solutely no scoring in the first three minutes of play. Libbey opened the scoring with a foul shot. Payak im- mediately dumped in a fielder to give Woodward the lead. The Bears fol- lowed up with a couple of more buck- ets and forged ahead. From the opening gun until the final whistle the Cowboys didn't stand a chance. They started the game with a zone defense and when that sorely failed they switched to a man to man defense. As far as individual play is con- cerned, Peanuts Long and Bob Harri- son were the best men on the fioor. Long was high point man with 12 points. Harrison, a sophomore, is fast becoming a valuable asset to Homer Hanham's squad. Jim Knierim played a nice game at guard. At the half, the score was 14-5 in Woodward's favor. The third quarter was very, very slow. A total of six points were made, two by the Cow- boys and four by the Bears. The fourth quarter was a dead affair with the Bears just lengthening their lead. The game ended 32-15 to relieve the Cowboys from the torture. Intramural Teams Clash Next Week In Tournament Under the direction of Watson Welever, the annual intra-mural basketball tournament will begin play next Tuesday, and will continue through the week. The champions will be decided upon through elimination, and as yet the prizes for the winning team have not been selected. All teams entering must be com- posed of the same class members. Each class must have three teams en- tering before they may compete. As yet the sophomore and freshman classes have signed but one team each with Mr. Welever. The deadline for entering teams terminated tonight at the close of' school.

Team seven finished second in this upper- classmen's basketball race by virtue of four wins against two defeats. Zurob not only leads his team in scoring, but is at the top of the entire league with 25 points. John Reneger, star forward on team seven, is second with 17 markers. Junior-Sophomore Although team one has no outstand- ing individual performers, they are undoubtedly the most rounded out team in the Junior, Sophomore league with five victories in as many starts. Team five who has two of the league's top scores, Bill Pfefferle, who has accumulated at total of 22 points, and Norm Wolfe with 21 has pulled their team into a tie with team two for the number two position. Each team has won three and lost two tilts. Freshman Team two of the freshman league finished first with their five game win record.

The skating party will be held from 7:30 to 10:30 p. m. Tickets are 40 cents and may be obtained from any radio club member or in 152. . Norman Abood, vice president, is chairman of the skate. He is now act- ing president of the club since the withdrawal of Torn Marinelli from school. mmonucme Elaine Shemas 'fs At last we've found the girl that can answer the S64 question with ease--in- tellectual Elaine Shemas, who ranks hightest among the senior girls of Wood- ward that took the state-wide test on American history and civics. Although Elaine's answers will not bring her the proverbial 564, they did bring a rating of 124 points out of a possible 150, the highest grade of any, of the five senior girls that took the test. Elaine is pursuringa half-commercial, half- academic course so as to fulfill her ambition to become a secretary and Spanish-translator. For four years E.S. has belonged to the French Club, serv- ing as treasurerin her sophomore year. She was also in the Periclean Literary Society for three years and now holds aolace in the National Honor Society. Glee Club and Spanish have also held a place on her list of subjects. Reading and going to the movies stand high as Miss Shemas' favorite pastimes although the Fred Waring radio show often holds a monopoly on her attention. Elaine is keeping scrap book as a record of the things she accomplishes' Paul O. Thomae's Machine Shop Leads In Stamp Sales Leading the school with a perfect record in stamp and bond purchases is Paul O. Thomae s machine shop. Mr. Thomas should be congratulated for the importance he has put on this measure. With this coaching the 11 boys have bought no less than S12 worth of stamps each week. Each week a raflie is held in which ' out of the 11 boys win a 10 cent de- fense stamp. Other home rooms should take this room as an example. Buttons, Pledges Received Through McCall Magazine Principal Charles LaRue recently re- ceived a letter from the publishers of the McCall magazine, requesting him to start a campaign, to urge the students as well as teachers to plant Victory Gardens this year. Pupils and teachers planning to have gardens are asked to fill out a United States Consumer's Pledge. These are designed to maintain morale and give participants a pledge and slogan for promoting the war effort on the home front. After doing this, they will receive an I've Enlisted button to wear. Starting Monday, Miss Grace Cronk will distribute pledges and buttons in all first hour classes. Ten High Ranking Students To Take Scholarship Test Ten seniors have signed up to take the Ohio General Scholarship Test on March 24.

Next week will see them start operations. The A1r and Sea scouts are two separate units, the Air scouts being part of the Air Service division of the Victory Corps, and the Sea Scouts comprising a section of the Sea Service Corps in the same organization. Boys taking these courses offered by the scouts fuliill part of the requirements of the Victory Corps, and hours of credit which will help them to win the Vic- tory Corps emblem are awarded to the boys in the scout groups. Both groups are to meet at Wood- ward every Tuesday evening for classes. Each group will have a room of its own. The training given to these boys will be preparing them for service in the two scout units. A. R. Bitter and Lawrence Nuber are two of Woodward's teachers who have agreed to help in tutoring the boys. Mr. Nuber will teach the principles of aeronautics and Mr. Bitter will teach electricity and radio. Details of the Air Group Here are some details concerning the Air scouts. The group, consisting of thirty-eight boys, will meet in Woodward every Tuesday. Their training will include work in aeronau- tics, aerodynamics, airplane design, and airplane structure. In fact their program calls for training in every- thing short of actual flight. Their work will be almost equivalent to the ground training of the average pilot. The Air scouts will have ranks, namely: air scout apprentice, air scout observer, air scout craftsman, and nnally the highest rank, air scout ace. Badges designating their rank will be given. The group will have uniforms resembling those worn by the RAF. This course will naturally make them eligible for the Victory Corps and undoubtedly will prove extremely valuable and advantageous if these boys ever decide to enter the Air Corps. The Air scouts have decided to call themselves the Eagle Squadron. This name will be on their insignia. Sea Division Meets As for the Sea scouts, they will also meet in Woodward every Tuesday. At the present time, this unit has only twenty members, but it will un- doubtedly increase. The Sea scouts will be taught the principles of navi- nation. They will learn about cruis- ing. water rescue, and water safety among other things. Their uniforms are very much like those of the Navy. They will be taught to look after these uniforms in the same manner the Navy em- ploys. The Sea Scout Skipper is Homer Mulinix. The other officers of this group have not as yet been organ- ized. Ono of the best features of the Sea scout unit is the summer cruise on Lake Erie that the boys take. There will be time for social affairs in both units. Dances and parties will be given by the scouts to which members may bring girls. Boys must be fifteen or over to enter either unit, There is no top age limit. A committee of older and responsi- blc men is backing these groups. Ten Cent Defense Stamp Is Ticket To Speed Class Play A patriotic pageant entitled, Fun to Be Free, by Ben H-echt and Charles MacArthur will be performed Thursday, March 25 by the advanced second hour speech class. Under the direction of Mrs. Dor- othy Matheny, instructor of the class, the play will be given during the assembly, and the price of admission is a ten cent defense stamp purchased at the door only. In the play Toufy Zurob will inter- pret famous passages from the minds of such great men as: Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washing- ton, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lin- coln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Be- tween these speeches, June Baidel, Marion Grace, Marjorie Kutschbach, Grace Labuzinski, Patricia Littlefield, and Vivian Shepard will actf as an- nouncers, keeping pace with the mood of scenes. Wallace Cunningham and Thomas Osberger will enact extra character parts during each act. The following boys are not in the advanced speech class, but they were called to take part in a mob scene: Chris Grevis, Norman Lypinski, Rob- ert Luits, Jim Martin, Dick Knoke. Bill Lang, Don Tigges, and Glen Weaner. Earl Brown, member of A. Bitter's electricity class, will operate the spotlight during the play for lighting effects. The purpose of the play is two fold: to further the sale of defense stamps and to increase the feeling of liberty in the students. The boys not en- rolled in the spe-ech classes will be given credit for their community service badge. Victory Garden Talks Given Members of Miss Grace Cronk's biology classes and Mrs. Dorothy Matheny's speech classes gave speeches in all first hour classes Monday morning. Biology students told of the need for victory gardens and speech students explained the Plant a Victory Garden with Penny Packet Seeds plan. The pledge for total victory cards were distributed to those who intend to plant gardens, and a button saying I've en- listed was given to those pupils. Victory Corps credit will be given for a victory garden. Girls End Tournament The tournament in pin guard was finished last week by the freshman girls in the gym classes.

Bear Victory Over Bulldogs Stepping Stone To Tourney Woodward used Rossford as a step- ping stone into the finals by rolling over the Bulldogs 31-25 last Thursday. Rossford made things hot for the Bears at the outset of the contest and quickly built a six to nothing lead be- fore Woodward broke the ice. The Bears lead 9-8 at the first quarter but Ross- ford tied it up at 17 all at halftime.The third period was entirely Woodward with Payak, Long, and Knierim getting hot to pull the Blue and White into a 27-20 lead. The final quarter was mostly defen- sive ball with both teams far below standard. Payak paced the winners witll: 51 points.

Replacing the forner screen which had to be moved by hand, the new labor saving device adds to the appearance of the stage. Weighing 300 lbs. the screen was put up by the custodians, A. Bitter, Paul O. Thomae, and with the aid of their classes. Approximately S300 was taken from the noon movie fund for this purpose. New Advisor, Mrs. Eula Upp, Donald Davis Head Hi-Y Clubs The freshman, sophomore, and jun- ior Hi-Y organizations of Woodward have emerged to form one club for the remainder of this year with Mrs. Eula Upp as volunteer adviser and Donald Davis as president. The Hi-Y has been without a direc- tor since last year when Edward Jan- kowski left for the armed services. Under the new leadership, a rejuve- nation of th-e club's program has taken place. The series of new pro- grams will start Tuesday with Homer Hanham speaking on Relation of Athletics to Success in Life. Among the others there will be a doctor to lead a group discussion on health, and a minister to do th-e same on religion. Budgeting Time will be the topic of one discussion with other meetings concerning social training and groom- ing completing the series. Plans for the coming year will be made this spring. These will be started with a meeting of next year's freshman boys which will acquaint them with the organization and en- courage them to join. Elections for the coming year will be held on or about May 18. ' Other officers taking leadership for the present are Norbert Zakolski, vice presidentg Bill Lang, secretaryg and Don Weber, treasurer. As Bill Lang's present working hours pro- hibit his constant attendance at ses- sions, his office will be filled by an- other member. Vocational Movie Is Shown To Freshmen Girls On Mon. Miss Ethel Wooden, principal of Wit- ney Vocational high school, presented a movie about the girls vocational high school for the benefi t of the freshmen girls last Monday. The movie, taken at Whitney, was partly in technicolor. In a series of cleverly presented scenes, Whitney's shops classes were shown to the freshmen and the various depart- ments of the school and their functions were made clear by Miss Wooden, who gave little impromtu explanatory speeches as th+ film ran on. Before the film was started, Miss Wooden spoke to the freshmen stres ing the opportunities for the girls that can be found in the industrial world today if only the girls prepare themselves by getting the proper training. After the movie, freshmen girls who were interested in the Whitney voca- tional courses stayed for further discus- sion. Red Cross Reveals 8335.12 As Total For March Drive Mrs. O'Brien, head of the Junior Red Cross at Woodward, has announced the 8335.12 was collected in the drive March 8 to 12. The student's collection constituted 5136.62 of this amount. The teachers contributed 316850. Although the drive is ended, contri- butions will be accepted until the close of March, when this money will be given to the Red Cross. There are still sixteen teachers who have pledged to contribute before the end of the month. It is expected that these contributions will swell the total to some extent. No quota was set for this drive, so all contributions were voluntary. This money was collected by Mrs. O'Brien through the home rooms.

Red Cross Deserves Praises ' HE RED CROSS drive for the month of March contained many generous givers. As it was on a voluntary basis for giving, the school as a whole responded very nicely. The total amount taken in is destined to go to needy soldiers overseas, and also for bandages, knitting units, nurse's aid, prisoners of war re- quirements, and all the other hundreds of results of the war. More than ever before, the results of war require more and more money to repair the damage done. The damage never to be repaired is the feeling be- tween the races. The Red Cross has done more than their share of repairing this damage. To Mrs. O'Brien, the Red Cross, and the many helpers, congratulations and may you continue the good work. Think Before You Decide EFORE making an important decision, be sure it is what you really want. This statement should especially apply to students considering entering the vocational schools. Many pupils enroll in these schools because it is something different and therefore exciting. After a while, ifthey find it is not what they wanted, these pupils often quit these classes and go back to the schools from which they came. This kind ofbehavior, is not only a waste of time, but also a loss of the taxpayers money. To avoid this useless waste, take much precaution when making this important discision. Decide now which field you wish to follow. Choose A Deserving Winner HE TATTLER ACHIEVEMENT CUP, a Wood- ward tradition and symbol of c it i z e n s h i p, scholarship, and leadership is to be given to the person which Woodward selects this coming week. Of course you will select the most deserving sen- ior, whether it be boy or girl. Just remember it is one of the highest honors to receive this cup, and should be the reward for outstanding work and do not merely vote for a friend because you do not know other candidates. Look into the senior's re cords before you write his name snd be conscient- ious about your selection. Thank you. Congratulations Homer O YOU and your new District champs for their splended achievements on the court this year. Entering the tournament as underdogs with three teams, rated above them, Homer's crew came through in a thrilling finish to cop the crowni. Surely no coach in the city deserved the honor more than Homer. In the days preceeding the championship battle he drove the squad hard and succeeded in transferring some of his own fire into a team which had been playing listless ball. Good luck at Bowling Green, boys. YoU NAME IT I I PP Swap Shop It will soon be spring. To spring is to leap. leap year is divisible by four. Four people make two couples.

Kill First, before trying my treatment, you must be sure you have a cold. This may be done any morn- ing by standing on the porch for five minutes in your pajamas. If, upon reentering the house, you begin to sneeze you may continue with my treat- ment. At this time you should attempt to wear shoes. They arent so bad when you get used to them. Garlic should be eaten in abundance. Why should you care if others avoid you? Drink lots of water, at least a quart a day. Especially the high spirited kind, such as Four Roses, the spirits in this bever- age tend to carry the cold away with them.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER BE RS WI DI TRICT TITLE Brilliant Play Of John Payak Sparks Bears To Win Over Central After a year's wait the Woodward Polar Bears finally made it when they swept from behind to trip the Central Irish 43-42 and capture the District Class A cage title. The game was far different from last year's battle which saw Central win easily. Saturday's tussle was a nip and tuck affair all the way with add a fielder. Payak got another charity toss, giving the Bears a 24-20 halftime advantage. Shortly after the third quarter got underway, Jack Danner fouled out, and the big fellow's loss seriously hampered the Irish fast break. How- ever, Jacobs and Declerq played fine ball and the Irish held a 34-33 lead as the teams swung into the final quarter. 1 As the game got hotter Juhasz of Central, and Knierim and Sloan of Woodward all fouled out. With less than 15 seconds to play tournament. The lanky forward col- lected 8 fielders and 12 fouls for 28 points, tops in a single game for the year. Long had five, Ransome four, Sloan three, Miller two, and Knierim one. Joe Jacobs, Central's great forward paced his mates with fifteen mark- ers. Danner and Declerq followed with 8 apiece. One of the evening's top performances was Bob Long's feat of holding high scoring Bill Neeb to two points. , Woodward C431 the issue actually still in doubt after Central held a 42-41 lead.

PAYAK, LONG MAKE PROMINENT STARS INTERVIEWED TOURNAMENT TEAM Entire Team, Coach Hanham Awarded Trophies As Champs ' As a reward for their fine per- formances in the recently completed tournament, Woodward junior scoring stars were honored by being chosen on the annual all-tournament team. A board of experts which included Bob Evans, Dick McGeorge, and Ernie Curley awarded gold basket- balls to the two boys for the out- standing play, which was instrumental in bringing Woodward the class A title. Payak's tournament play was sen- sational. He compiled fifty points over a three-game span, and played fine ball around the backboard. Long's spirit and fighting qualities won the admiration of all who watched the pint sized forward in ac- tion. While he did not exactlv con- trol the backboards, Long's defensive play was brilliant. He topped it off by completely stopping highly touted Bill Neeb. Other trophies given were one to the entire team as District champs and one to Homer Hanham as coach of the winners. Certainly no one de- served it more than Homer. John Kornowa Wins Annual Grade School Tournament John Kornowa won the fifteenth an- nual grade sohool foul shooting tour- nament held last Saturday morning in the Bear gym. He made 26 shots out of 40 attempts. Close behind the winner were Don Cark of Stickney and Felix Christabal of Hamilton. These boys received season's football tickets for next year's games. Seven other contestants received yellow rib- bons. Boys from the following grade schools were eligible for competition: Spring, Stickney, Sherman, Hamilton, River- side, Parkland, Chase, and La Grange. Jimmie Sports, sports, and athletics are the eating, sleeping, walking, and talking companions of Jim Knierim. Of course, he is seen with Peanuts Long, Johnny Payak, and Norm Wolfe once in a while too, but after all, they are also interested in the al- ready thrice mentioned subject. His freshman year marked his start in basketball-a start in a prom- inent place-that of captain in guard position on the frosh squad. The gridiron claimed his attention at this time and he played outstand- ing football as first string quarter- back on the reserves. This starting work aided Jim in the struggle on this year's varsity team on which he played left end. He expects to play end again next year. Jim's splendid fighting spirit and all around good sportsmanship make him valuable material to Homer Han- ham and the boys. As to the tourna- ment tomorrow, Jimmie, being the strong, silent type Won't make any predictions. The fifth child of the Knierim fam- ilv wants to attend the University of Michigan and eventually teach physi- cal education or coach football. He is also greatly interested in engineer- ing. but-here's a prophecy-sports will get him. On the lighter side, Jimmie thinks he's rugged but we're not so sure. He loves long rides after the basketball games. He can cause feminine heart action to increase at least 20 counts but he thinks girls are a waste of time. He daudles a lot, doesn't he? Sharpie An athlete who really deserved his name in this interview is Bob Wy- socki, junior and star bowler of Woodward's American Bowling Squad. Bob, who has been bowling since he was old enough to lift a ball, carries a 185 average which he built in the Mercury Recreation fplugj. He also bowls with the Polish Falcons who have already clinched first place in the Tavern League. With the All Star League, he leads off for the Mc- Gee Bros. and is the youngest reg- ular in the loop. Although not the star he is in bowling, Bob also likes a game of basketball and claims to be a sharpie at.Seven Up. Next to bowling, Bob enjoys a hot fudge banana split, and women-none in particular. Bob at his young bowling age, has already entered and came out very successful in many tournaments. The most re- cent tournament he entered was the Blade Headpin contest. Sharpie, as he calls himself, hit for 112 pins out of a possible 120 pin count. He won first place in the individual sweepstakes at the Mercury with a better than 200 average for the games he rolled. He was the youngest bowler ever to bowl in the American Bowling Conference which is a national con- test held open to the best bowlers of America. Woodward and Woodward's American Bowling squad has much to look forward to in the performance in which Wysocki is expected to put on. Vogt Has Highest Individual Bowling Score This Year Marion Vogt held the highest indivi- dual bowling score of the current sea- son with a 221, as a result of the game bowled Monday, March l5. Other high scorers were Doris Kanipe, 1383 Lois Moreland, 1385 Dolores Czarnecki, 135g and Elaine Allen, 132. As a result of Monday's game the highest averages are: Marion Vogt, 1265 Eleanor Sniegocki, 1285 Doris Pax-ks,126: Phyllis Bade, 1225 and Betty Lou Tuck- er, 119. The tle for first plcce among the teams' remain unbroken with the Wood- ward Wlzards, Termites, and Bowler- inas competing. Quintets. Gutter Girls, Jeeps, and Dead Beats each are trying to be the holder of the second place position. DEBATE ON SPRING SPORTS UNSETTLED Transportation Problems Are Chief Reasons For Doubt Although yet an uncertainty, Woodward, like the other six high schools in Toledo, have not scheduled any spring sports because of the lack of transportation. Coaches of any two schools may schedule a game on outside time but no contest may be run off on school time. Therefore there will be no city or state championship in any of the spring sports. Spring practice or any games, if any, is left up to the coaches of the respective sports, stated A. J. Brown, Woodward's athletic director. Another sign of the transportation problem is the basketball tournament for the championship for the state of Ohio. Formerly all teams that won in their respective districts would travel to Columbus, Ohio, and par- ticipate in a tournament that lasted an entire day. But now, to conserve on rubber and spare many teams the long journey which is so very diffi- cult to make in these crucial times, four districts will meet at a central- ized place. Then the winner of these tilts will move to Columbus for the final games. Previously a district champ would move directly to Co- lumbus but now they participate in a regional tournament. Bowling, which was much a debated sport, has no direct bearing on the transportation problem since the alleys are located in a centralized po- sition, therefore this particular sport resumed as in peace time activity. Coaches of the spring sports are: Leo Robie, baseballg George Rohrer, tennisg Watson Welever, trackg and Howard Phipps, golf. WYSOCKI HAS HIGH AVERAGE WITH 187 Bobby Abdelnour Has High Scoring Average For Nats Bowling averages seemed to take a considerable jump throughout the sec- ond round of the high school bowling conference. Wysocki, Bonkowski, and Sobecki of the American league lead the entire school in averages in that order. Abdelnour of the National quintet is high for his team with a 151 average. A total of 39 games should have been bowled by both squads. Boys who rolled half, twenty games, or over will be awarded letters by their coach, Howard Phipps, on recognition day. Of the American league, Norm So- becki, Roger Weiher, Walt Bonkow- ski, and Bob Wysocki will be honored with a letter. Of the National squad, Abdelnour, Zdojewski, and Bieneik will receive bowling letters. Woodward's Amerks outclassed the Nats individually and as a team with a 157 average to the Nationals 138. Ind.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER we-5 wHAMIL'1'0N NURSERY 'IATTLE fee 5 BESIE-GED BV Bore Reports On Observations Of Children Prove Interesting Hamilton Nursery was beseiged by grown boys last week when Wood- ward fellows studying child care visited the school as part of the pro- gram of study. Following are observations made by he-men Ted Miller, Bob Blank, Bill Santus, Ray Jagodzinski, and Norman Stallbaum, Wednesday morn- ing in Miss Angela Abairys first hour class. They acquired these observa- tions while sitting on chairs at the day nursery-chairs made for four year olds. During this report's presence the boys put Ted Miller on the pan and made him start the discussion. Observations: 1. Some of the boys and girls were very over-bearing - they wished to boss. 2. They noted g-eneral behavior and attitudes toward one another. 3. According to Bill Santus, Some of those girls were 'all right' . Deanna, Caroline, Virginia, and Suz- anne, for instance. ' Here is a pause-the boys rise and stretch their cramped bones. Ted had to unwind his legs. 4. The children accepted the boys gladly. One little girl asked Ted to comb her hair and after he had combed it, she insisted that he curl it. Ted was stumped. 5. Johnny was the quiet typeg Eddie, the rugged one. 6. There was a budding romance between Eddie and Deanna. She al- ways wanted to take care of him. 7. Children imitate each other and adults. The boys showed a general aptitude and attraction for understanding and playing with the boys and girls. They are disappointed because they can't attend the school soon again, and are planning to make toys for the school. Twenty-two Pupils Receive Community Service Badges The second monthly induction cere- mony of the Victory Corps was held Friday morning inthe auditorium where 75 new members were taken in, and 22 students were given community service badges. This was a closed meeting with only those who are members attending. Students who completed 50 service hours and had certified slips were: Carolyn Duffey, Doris Boos, Lois More- land, Elaine Lykowski, Juanita Mock, Stephanie Mahin, Delores G ram za, Helen Tussing, Helen Puls, Gertrude Miller, Sarah Tzainikis, Jack Bohn, Ev el y n Stinchcomb, Lois Ott, Don Higley, Jean Heimann, Helen Patio, Dorothy Machiewicz, Ruth Wisniewski, Charlene Hamilton, Eleanor Nowak, and Harriet Long. O. Boerst Cleans Lockers Otto Boerst, a member of the janitor force, took it upon himself to clean the lockers in the building. Mr. Boarst re- vealed that the shortage of gum didn't show itself in Woodward, according to the amount of it on the lockers. The subject was mentioned at the boys' meeting several weeks ago. Radio Club Sponsors Skate The Radio Club is sponsoring a roll- er skate Friday evening, March 19. from 7:30 to 10:30 P. M. at the Memorial Roller Arena. The admission price is 40 cents including the Federal tax. Norman Abood, president ofthe club, is chairman of the affair. Assisting him are Marvin Hascal and Marion How- ington. If this, the first skate they have given, is a success it will be an annual event. N orman Abood What's up Doc? is the greeting of an exceedingly versatile man, namely, Norman Adood. Hailing from Stickney grade sohool, the chairman of the Ra- dio Club Skate lacks just a few inches to complete the old adage tall, dark, and handsome. This Fred Astaire of Woodward High, has used his rhythm to advant- age by organizing an orchestra. Orig- inally planed to entertain here at Woodward, Norman and his boys have played at other schools and gatherings and are qu ckly gaining popularity. Since A b ood was repeatedly pro- nounced Ahhh-bood, for professional purposes, N. A. made a concoction of his Uncle Jimmys name and his own coming up with Jimmy Norman, liking the sound, and letting stick. Norman, vice president of the Radio Club has taken over the duties of pres- ident, since the withdrawl of Tom Marine-lle. He is also chairman of the skate tonight sponsored by the club. As vice president of the junior class, he is program chairman. Norman has almost completed his second year of cheerleading. Seen with Paul Parks aud Homer Powers, N. A. has three ambitions: orchestra leader, radio announcer, and certified public accountant. He feels he If the present conflict continues Nor- man will be another mari n e star on Woodward's esrvice fiag. Hidden Hun ger Programs Complimented by Miss Sanger The Hidden Hunger programs were complimented very highly . by Miss Ruth Sanger, city superviser and head of the home economics, and Mrs. Polly Reulein, charge of Family Life Educa- tion and head of the Nursery school. Point Rationing was the theme of the Hrst program, and the second program was presented this morning. These programs are written by the scriptwriting class and produced by the scriptwriting and r a d i o production classes. Miss Helen Marie Griffin is in charge of these programs. Gym Instructors Discuss Girls Physical Ed. Program Miss Catherine McClure represented Woodward inthe meeting held on Wed- nesday. March 17, by gym teachers to talk over possibilities of a more stren- uous physical education program for Toledo high school girls next year. Miss Hazel Rex and one representa- tive from each high school physical ed- ucation department decided that ifhigh schools are to have a more vigorous gym program, health examinations,nu- trition, classes in health instruction, first aid, and from two to five periods of gym a week to make it successful, must be included in the program. The meeting was held for a definite purpose. As the war continues, girls of high school age will have to work on farms and take over factory jobs. Phys- ical fitnesswill be an absolute necesity: so high schools are planning for this now. French Classes Read Book Written By George Rohrer George W. Rohrer has made a bound book of his trip to France in 1939. The book was typed by Ruth Damraur, sen- ior, member of the French Club, and illustrations were drawn by Mr. Rohr er. The book is bound in an attractive light blue cover and is approximately 150 pages in length. The advanced French class heard French tales and stories via phono- graph and records in French last week. This was made possible by the ar- rangement Mr. Rohrer has of having recitations by his second year students one day, and his advanced group an- - other. CALL ARMS Roman C.

GIRLS VOLUNTEER HELP FOR NURSERY Toledo School Board Plans Centers For Workers' Small Children Twenty Woodward girls have signed up in Principal LaRue's office to help with the neighborhood nursery schools to be maintained this summer throughout Toledo. The Toledo School Board, which was appropriated the sum of S115,000 by the federal government, is now planning the centers. Although most of the centers will be set up in the public schools, some will be at shelter houses or wherever there is enough space to care for the children. Between now and April 2 the Board hopes to set up ten nurseries and when school term ends in- June an- other ten will be established. They will remain open from 7 a. m. until 8:30 p. m. providing meals for chil- dren whose mothers will not be home at those times. I The centers will be mainly for children of pre-school age whose mothers work but older children will also be admitted. A questionaire has been sent from the public schools to mothers asking their occupation, wages, number of children, and other statistics. Mothers will be charged according to their wage-earning. Woodward's girls who have volun- teered for this work are Marguerite Ricard, Mary Jane Scharer, Dolores Sebrance, Bertha Morfard, Etta Mae Grow, June Stahl, Martha Bogdanski, Suzanne Purney, Anna Louise Bor- man, Arlene Krils, Alice Miller, Bern- adine Smothers, Eunice Witt, Akrieve Tzanakis, Jane Gerlast, Mary Jane Hearnis, Virginia Butler, Marjorie Weeks, Rose Marie Hamma, and Helen Danko.

Lottie Saturkow- JUNIOR RED CROSS CONTRIBUTES ' MANY ARTICLES FOR SERVICE MEN Other Organizations Also Help In Charitable Enterprise The Junior Red Cross of Wood- ward has lived up to its motto We Serve during the past year. The following are some of the things they have accomplished, and were taken from Mrs. Mary O'Brien's report to the Red Cross newspaper, the Cross- town. Due to the scarcity and expense of yarn, their knitting has been greatly curtailed. However, 6 small and 2 large afghans, 1 army muffler, 2 navy scarves, 3 sweaters, 1 toddler's pack, 1 helmet, and 1 beanie were made by the students with the aid of teachers. Mrs. Mary O'Brien's second hour class, which is devoted to the meet- ing of the Council, has made 150 place cards, 50 favors, 100 Christmas cards for service men, and 292 net stockings filled with candy, fruit, etc., which were distributed to boys at the Union Station who were leaving for army bases. Some of the Service Clubs in con- nection with the Everyday Living Classes have been making scrap books. These will be sent to nurseries, and U. S. O. centers. Through the home economics de- partment, slips, blouses, dresses, skirts and slippers were made. A total of 255 articles were completed. Miss Annie's Wetterman's Citizen's Club have made 48 handkerchief cases, each containing a handkerchief: 50 crossword puzzles pasted on Christ- mas cards, and 50 valentine's for service men. Miss Angela Abair's cooking class of boys have made hundreds of cook- ies for distribution at U. S. O. centers. The boys in the shops have also helped. Joy Mohrhardt's boys have made 40 metal ash trays, and 10 bed clothes hampers, while S. B. Crouse's boys completed 9 shuffleboards, 5 lamps, 10 lap boards, 10 writing boards, and other articles. 119 stretch- ers for air raid practice in schools were also made, along with 20 ping pong tables which were sent to Naval hospitals. One hundred pounds of clothing and books were sent to people in the Ozarks. Thirty gift boxes for refugee children in Great Britain were packed, cards were collected, and given to U. S. O. centers, and 15 copies of the Tattler are mailed regularly to 15 former Woodward students now in service. Money derived from collecting old paper and magazines is used to furth- er the Red Cross program. Members of the organization also help the office force in tabulating schedules, selling war bonds, etc. 4Though the Council has done all this in Woodward, they hope to do still more before the end of the school year. Mrs. Mary O'Bri-en is the adviser. - TAKEN BY SENIORS General Ohio Examination Given March 24 To 3 Boys, 7 Girls They asked you everything you ever heard of and everything you never heard of on the General Schol- arship tests which were given in Miss Kerlin's room from early Wednesday morning to late Wednesday noon un- der her direction and assisted b Mrs. Hazel McManamon and Miss Caamilla Savage.

Mr. Rohrer is going to be inducted into the United States army, Monday, March 29. Mr. Rohrer entered Woodward to teach French after Miss Adrian Curt- iss left, and since then has been on the teaching staff. Serving as ad- viser for the French club was only one of Mr. Rohrer's duties. The Co-ed Prom sponsored by this group was one of the affairs that most pupils looked forward to. Another duty of Mr. Rohrer's was his coaching of the tennis team in spring sports. This year, because of the decrease in French class enrollment, Mr. Rohr- er has been teaching along with French, junior business training. Miss Edna McLaughlin, will take over the first and second hour French classes and also continue teaching some of her history classes. Miss McLaugh- lin's classes will be divided among Mrs. Marion Smith, Mrs. Hela Ander- son, and Miss Louise Tippett. The junior business training classes taught by Mr. Rohrer will be placed in charge of Joe Dence, therefore Mr. Dence will be unable to continue his work in the cafeteria fourth hour. To the faculty and student body, Mr. Rohrer leaves this message: One simply does not conclude six vears of associations at Woodward with a light heart. I am indeed grateful therefore to those who have respected my desire to make my withdrawal from Woodward seem as painlessly inconspicuous as possible. To that finest of principle, to my friends of the faculty and office force whom I esteem so highly and like so very much, to the irresistably cordial body of students-my most sincere and warmest best wishes. 'tIn this mighty effort to restore the world to sanity every Woodward- ite is eager to do more than his share. I hope that I, in my small way may be worthy of Woodward's finest tra- ditions. To Mr. Rohrer, the faculty and the student body send this message: It was our opportunity to have you spend those six years with us. We wish you niilore than the best of luck, and hop-e t at after the war you will return to your old position. WHITNEY, MACOMBER VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS TOURED BY FRESHMEN Principals Address Pupils On Advantages Of Both Schools The freshmen's visit to Macomber proved its worth by the information they brought back with them. Mr. Dananfelser opened the day with an address to the boys entitled Making Up Your Mind. After ex- plaining the choice cards and the manner in which the school is run, a program for the day was made out. The whole assembly was divided into two parts, one half went to take tests which must be passed to enter, and the other half visited Visual Edu- cational Departments--moving pic- tures, woodshop, commercial art, auto mechanics, business training and me- chanical drawing. After one group finished touring the building, they ate lunch in the cafeteria, where hot, balanced meals were served, and then they took the tests. The group taking the tests ate and then toured the building. The day ended at 3:15 and when the greenies were quizzed' about their visit they remarked No Girls. Girls Visit Whitney The freshman girls also made a journey Wednesday. Their destina- tion was Whitney Vocational school. Upon their arrfval there, all the girls assembled in one room where the principal, Miss Ethel XVooden, gave them their schedule for the day. Then a group of senior girls, one from each field of work, came to ex- plain about the courses. Through their speeches, the girls gave the im- prcssion that thev liked their work at the school. These talks were on cosmetology, foods, dress making, of- fice practice, household management, and retail selling, This was followed by a tour of the building. After that. lunch was in session. Following their lunch, the girls filled out choice cards and then were sent to interview teachers. By that time the clock had spun its hands around toward 3 o'clock and the girls left, some of them dreaming about going to Whitney next year. Their exclamation to this reporter lthough, was, No boys. . THE WOODWARD TATTLER THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published and Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

M ildred Bogdanski PRINCIPAL POINTS Ever since Pearl Harbor, C Woodward boys who have en- lisied in the armed forces of our country have been writing back or appearing on their furloughs in my office. When the boys return I always ask them, among many others, 0 two questions: First, how do f ' ff' ' you like the Service? Second, has your school work helped you in any way? Without ex- ception the answer to the first is always the same: Fine, Sw-ell, It couldn't be better are the most usual ones. Almost without excep- tion the boys are taller, firmer, and show un- mistakable signs of good food, regular, hours, exercise, and firm discipline. When it comes to the second question the answer varies and the variance is due to the type of student the boy was while in school. Usually if he has graduated, had a good deal of mathematics, science, English, and history the boy has discov-ered that those have been worth- while in his training and advancement. If he was an indifferent student while in school that fact is forced upon him now by lack of opportunities to advance. If his schooling has not helped him he is usually keen enough to see that it was his own fault and he voices his regret at not having attended more regularly or not having studied harder when he had the opportunity. I call this to the attention of you boys who are now in school and still have the chance to get something out of it. We really do not need many new courses. Any boy who will get every- thing he can from the English, four years of it, his mathematics, his science, and his history will be as well prepared as it is possible to be before his induction. Let's remember this when we choose our sub- jects for next year. Surroundings Are Important Spring is here again. With it comes the annual destroyer of beauty, not an insect or such but a careless student. Every year when spring is here students dis- regard their responsibilities and take short cuts across the lawn. The ground at this time of the year is soft and yielding. Every step on it crushes the life out of dozens of blades of grass. Woodward has always been proud of itself in- ternally and with very little effort can be proud of its grounds. We do not have grounds as extensive as some of the other high schools but can easily make up for this by the appearance of our surroundings. Let's try our best to improve Woodward's ap- pearance. fn' ffilihn If af r x I . i xlic' W.: . ' J' f I ! One For All, All For One. The war effort has increased Woodward's co- operation fourfold. In former times, if a club sponsored an activity, it was the only organiza- tion who had an interest in the project. But now, since everyone in America is aware of the war and the sacrifice involved, every student and every club in Woodward is helping the Student Council sell war saving stamps. They are not only buying stamps themselves, but encouraging others to invest their money in the safest invest- ment in the world, the United States govern- ment. Those clubs and classes that are giving talks and plays are really on the beam. To them, the student body gives thanks. But this is really not necessary for in their hearts they have the satisfaction of cooperating and really helping win the war and the peace that will follow. A Sad Story- I'm just not appreciated by my family. They mistreat me terribly. When the meal is put on the table the family makes a rush for it. So do I, but my chain isn't long enough to reach the table. After the meal is over, the family lets me lick the plate. They like the shine it gives their tableware. But the main course of my meal consists of the sweepings and remains of the meal that fall to the iioor. Who says dirt isn't digestible? I'm living, ain't I? CDon't answer that.J They make me sleep out on the front porch under the door mat. Their excuse for this is that someone has to keep watch of the key they keep hidden there. They use me for a weather barometer. When they want to find out how cold it is, they stick my head out the window and figure out the tem- perature by the redness of my nose and how many times my teeth chatter to the second. I'm servant to 'my brother's net mice, my sister's pet chickens, my mother's pet wolf, my father. My father has been hoping that Congress pass a law drafting women. He wants to get rid of me. Last year, before I was elghteen, he loved me because I was an income tax deduction. Oh well, they won't throw me out for a little while. I'm the only one in the family that under- stands the point rationing system. Dirty Dirt Reasons why the male members of the faculty have not gone in the Army sooner. Of course this has been CENSORED! 1. Watson Welever must stay here and keep up morale! Girls' morale of course. 2. Joseph Dence not only has flat feet but his draft card reads-14F. 3.

The Army hasn't enough material for the clothes for George Rohrer. You should see the bed he sleeps in. 6. William Rohr needs glasses to see Arith- metic problems. But have you noticed that he sees figures pretty well. 7. Art Smith-Mr. Five by door down at the Draft board. Trying to get through it. Of course the head man was on the other side of the door, but now he lies in Forest Cemetery, six feet under. 8. Raymond Sheline has a when they weighed Floyd Lords, he was a 150 lbs. overweight. 9. Elmer Vorderburg can't sleep without a teddy bear and because he didn't have room for it, poor Elmer received an honorary discharge for insomnia. 10.

Homer I-Ianham, considered by many as the best coach in Toledo, has teams that always land up in the higher brackets of the city race. Al- though his material at times seemed meager, he has in some unexplained manner molded boys into a winning team. This something that only boys that have played for Homer clan understand is given them along with basketball skils and plays. Above all, the principles of clean sportsman- ship, body, and mind are taught to Woodward teams. Wilson Weis, the man that prepares the boys for the varsity, has set an enviable record for the reserve squads. In his two years at Wood- ward, Wilson Weis has copped two championships along with a winning streak of 27 consecutive games. Mem- bers of last year's championship re- serve team have on their first year in varsity competition more than proven Wilson Weis' coaching ability. Although this praise comes at the end of a victorious year, remember that all seasons are not successful. This commendation of the coaches woes. win or lose, for a winning team is not always of the right sort. Wood- ward is fortunate in having coaches who are sportsmen in the best mean- ing of the word, and give this brand of sportsmanship to boys entrusted to their care. Track To Be Continued This Year Under Coach Welever Despite the war and its effects upon sports, track will continue this coming season, under the direction of Watson Welever. Meets will be held according to Mr. Welever's own schedule at Waite, Scott or DeVilbiss high schools. The meets will consist of high hurdling, broad jumps, low hurdles, shot puts, discus, hundred- yard dash, relays, and pole vaulting. Boys returning who were on Wel- ever's 1942 crack squad are Jule Du- hart, Chester Stobinski, Jim Davis, Chuck Harding, Walter Bonkowski, and Andy Mataswicz. Mr. Welever hopes to see many more boys try out for track this spring as it not only induces good sportsmanship, but it also creates in the mind and body the will to con- tinue, and the strength to endure.

Freshman In the freshman league the Ramblers edged the Jerks 13-11, in a very close game. The game was nip and tuck all the way and went into overtime. The Crusaders beat the Rockets in another close game to the tune of 26-24. There are still two games to be played in this league. - Sophomore The Gabby Gouts forfeited their game to the Polar Bears. They will meet the Rockets to decide the championship. Juniors The Dubs beat the Bears 27-25 in the junior league. They meet the Rockets to decide the championship. Senior Toufy Zourob's All Stars trimmed the Machine Shop Aces 27-21, with Toufy himself making 14 points. They play the Renaissance for the championship. League Champion Trophies Leave Polar's Trophy Case The two trophies awarded each year to the team that wins the city league championship are leaving Woodward to go to Macomber. The trophies, one given by radio station WSPD and the other by the faculty managers, remained here all last year because Central, co-champ- ions last year with the Bears, failed to call for them. To gain permanent possession of the trophies, a team must have added three legs, that is, won it three times. Thus far the Bears have had the WSPD trophy once and the Manager trophy twice. Had Woodward won the league race, manager trophy would belong to them. FACULTY QUINTET TRIMS ALL-STARS Welever, Vorderburg, Weis Spark Oldsters To Easy Win Woodward's faculty members still have a little life left in them. Last Tuesday morning they laid down their crutches borrowed some blood from the Red Cross and trimmed Toufy Zourob's senior intramural team 34- 26. The game started fast with the oldsters working from a t forma- tion with Red Pants Welever hugging the ball. The teachers showed them- selves to be great strategists early in the game. When the score was 11-10 they immediately switched ref- erees and added two more men to their squad. The fact that they had seven men on the floor helped a little as they forged ahead. Sports enthusiasts were enthralled when Vorderburg instituted a new play. This play is the finest method of slipping ones guard that has yet been devised. The play is this: Tak- ing the ball out of bounds at the far end of the floor the player steps outside, runs behind the crowds and comes back onto the floor right by his own basket. This, as you can see, is something new. Wilson, water in the knee, Weis and Red Pants were the top scor- ers for the faculty. They had 11 points apiece. Welever scored his by using the part in Art Smith's hair as a bombsight. Weis was a little more orthodox but as he left the floor faint crys of sucker could be heard. For the best players on the floor: for the students, Zourob and Munch, for the faculty, the referees stood out in front by far. f 1 -,LLL H? if 'H W A pgs O - agtssgr... A lit..

Guard Jimmy Knierim Heads Scoring For Polars In Seasonis Ender Playing in the first game of the annual Regional tournament Wood- ward's Polar B-ears lost a heart- breaking 38-35 decision to a bigger, faster Lima Central outfit. Lima started fast and for a moment it looked as if a steam-roller had hit the Bears. The Lima team with Jimmy Kohler sparking a whirlwind attack built up a quick lead before Ted Miller hit a one handed fielder to start the Woodward scoring. How- ever, the quarter saw Woodward with only two fielders, the other by Knierim. Lima lead at the quarter mark 10-4. Woodward got rolling in the second half and with Jim Knierim leading the attack they swept to within one point of the Lima lads before Kohler's basket made it '19-16 at halftime. Both teams renewed their whirlwind attacks in the third quarter with Payak beginning to find the range. However, Lima held and sent sev- eral long shots through the hoop to hold a 27-24 lead as the fourth quar- ter opened. At this point, WoodWard's fast break opened up and the Bears moved into the lead for the first time. Long, Sloan, Payak and Harrison raced up and down the floor as the Bears battled the bigger team to a standstill. At this point, the officials, both of whom had been sleeping throughout the greater part of the game, decided to take a hand in the proceedings. Blowing their whistles at random they managed to take away two Woodward baskets. Lima meanwhile fought their way to a one point lead. On a jump ball Lima secured possession and Maisch connected for the game's last score. In the final minute of play the officials called enough fouls to allow the Lima team to freeze the ball effectively. Knierim lead the Bears with 8 points, and Long and Payak followed with 7. Ifohler and Maisch paced Lima Cen- tra . Proceeds From Today's Tilt Used For Reserve Jackets Proceeds from the varsity game, which was held this morning during the B schedule, will be contributed for lightweight jackets for the com- ing season. Boys who participated in the contest should be highly com- mended. The game was under the able di- rection of Joe Dence, equipment man- ager, who suggested the idea. Since it will be the last time the boys will play, each deserves a word of praise for fine sportsmanship. The seniors who graduate are as follows: Capt. Curt Ransome, Ed Sloan, Ray Jagodzinski, Ted Miller, and Dick Seymour. Boys who made up the coming team are: Bob Long, John Payak, Jack Eaton, Jim Knierimn, and Bob Harrison.

Cliff Plageman and Chet Swiderski also purchased S3 apiece in stamps. This week's interview is rightfully devoted to a personage on whom we all depend, one who always received complaints and still remains Wood- ward's most attractive teacher, Miss Hazel Coy, our school nurse. Usually seen in a clean, stiff, white uniform .luring school hours, Miss Coy, after the dismissal bell has rung, is found to be very well groomed, looking un- usually lovely in rose, her favorite color. Having been at Woodward twelve years, our nurse is perfectly con- tented wtih her duties since she has always wanted to work with pupils of high school age. With the size of her home nursing classes remaining just about the same, Miss Coy did elementary school work before com- ing to Woodward. Receiving her de- gree at Ohio State, she proudly ad- mitted that many of her former stu- ients are now participants in the honorable profession of nursing. As for becoming an Army or a Navy nurse, her position as a public health nurse requires her to continue her present duties since wartime is often a time of serious epidemics. Just reaching five feet five, Miss Coy helped out at Flower Hospital last fall when 'a shortage of nurses necessitated her aid. She hopes to work there again this summer and also devote some of her vacation to gardening, another job she loves. With a complexion high school girls envy, this brown eyed nurse helps to write our nutrition programs and checks over the menus for proper food value. Miss Coy said that the aim of the nutrition campaign is to have all pupils eat a good breakfast before coming to school. She added that it would cut down the number of patients demanding Hrst aid for stomach conditions if students would follow this suggestion. Believing her course to be as val- uable to girls as it is, Miss Coy's final statement was, I sincerely hope the time will come when it will be com- pulsory for all girls to take home nursing. Van Tassel Is Honored Clyde Van Tassel, instructor of economic geography, was presented with a life membership in the Na- tional Educational Association by the Toledo Teachers Association along with a pin which designates the honor. This recognition came as a result of Mr. Van Tassel's loyal and outstanding work as president for two terms of the Toledo Teachers' Associ- ation. Two terms is the longest anyone can hold this office.

A., ASSIST ANT CRACK DOWN l Muscles After considerable investigating and finagling, Superman and Batman have uncovered the most diabolical graft sy- stem in their wide experience, right here in Woodward. At the head ofthis gang ofembezzlers was Muscles Eleanor Murphy, part- ners in her crime were Trigger Finger Abair and 'Three Gun S. B. Crouse. By means of the Victory Corps, they gained their way to the school fund, where they have been slowly but sure- ly taking all Woodwards money. First they took all of the funds from the Victory Corps' treasury, except that which Sheline had already hooked, and through gambling, they lost every cent. To make their loses good they em- bezzeled the entire school funds. That too, they gambled away. So, at the present time, besides being in the clink they are in the poor house too. Remember rnv fellow crooks the weed of crime bears hitter fruit crime does not pay! In the years before rationing it was Woodward's annual custom to spread itself in a lavish spectacle called Gayety Night. It was the custom of the Wood- ward Tattler to unload a Fun Issue on the unsuspecting public. This year as you know there was no Gayety Night so for months the Tattler staffhas been trying to think of an excuse to print a Fun Issue. 'today is April Fool's day and you fools have already paid C21 two cents for the Tattler. - - Bozo Wants Lot Of School Bozo Puls has started a petition to have school start in August instead of -September. So far only three thousand pupils have signed up. What's the matter with the rest ofyou? Surely you on't want to sit home when you could be getting an education. Tots To Make Toys These last minute news dashes just came in over the clothes line. During the past week the Hamilton Nursery Tots visted Woodward's Child Care classes. Close observations were made by the tots and as a result it was decided that they would make toys for these students. Tl-l.. .. Sick? Try A Double Decker Because the Gym teachers send down so many suppose to be sick stud- ents to the first aid room, Miss Hazel Coy has sent a Catalogue mail order for thirty double decker beds. Every- one is invited to try them out. All you have to do is give Kate. Butch or Ho- mor a sob story and they'll give you a ticket. Poor C. M. Meek- Captain Miss Marion Larkin has been ap- pointed to replace L.C. Clark who took over C.M. Meek's duties as boys' dean. Mr. Meek, because of an operation caused from shouting at bad boys, was replaced by Lincoln Clark. But, be- cause Mr. Clark was also too harsh on the little boys. Mr. LaRue removed him, and deceided to place a lady in the position of boys' dean. . Miss Larken has an experiment which she thinks will work to cure boys from skipping school. When the boys wish to stay out they can go to the little room off the girls' gym, and play games such as tid- dle-de-winks, hide the thimble, and pick-up-sticks. Paper dolls will also be provided for their use. Pot Thomae Out Of Luck The new's was electrified today when it was announced that Miss Belle Joseph will replace Paul OscarThomae in the machine shope. Since Belle stud- ied so hard, Pot is out of a Job. It seems she excelled her teacher in just three lessons. Pot doesn't really want to go on relief, join the army or work on the W.P.A.

They couldn't believe it, the Army is not in that con- dition. Contrary to popular opinion Wattsi was inducted under the new V 6and Pg program and will enter as a recommissiond ofhcer. Everyone was pleased when he received a citation for bravery for saying phooey to the sergeant. He will receive his decora- tion as soon as he recovers. ABRACROMBY, FLOYD BOONE MEET AFTER SIXTY YEARS OF SEARCHING Abby B. After 60 years of futile searching, at last two long lost brothers meet. The twin brothers, Floyd Lords Boone and A. R. Bitter Boone, who had never seen each other in over 60 years were finally reunited. - Both men, disgusted with city life and the chores of teaching school, de- cided to rough it. So, in hermit-like fashion, both went in the deepest part of the Ottawa Park woods, and set up house-keeping. CI mean tent-keepingj Walking through the woods one day, simultaneously they thought the other was some horrible creature they had never seen before. Drawing their guns, they aimed, fired, and missed. Running to get their kill, they bumped each other over. It flashed across their minds instan- taneously that they looked exactly a- like. Yes, they must be twins. Introduc- ing each other-- 'to each other--they were surprised to find that both last names were Boone. Delving into their family trees, they beame aware of the I P Floyd B. fact that both were direct descendants of Daniel Boone. Tears streaming down their faces at the happy reunion, they began to tell about their whereabouts during the past years. Floyd told Abracromby how, Stinky Foley, one of his student had taken his lunch one day and ate all the cutworms that he had saved for a whole week. That did it', he said, do I came out here to get away from it all and be rugged T en, Abracromby told Sk'nny how one of the boys in his electrical class gave him a shock through a wire and how he, too, got disgusted and decided to leave for the quietness of the woods. There, they both decided, was no happiness in the woods either. So simal- taneously they pulled out their guns and decided to end the others hard- ships. Thus, after a short reunion, the Boo- ns's fell, lifeless to the ground. And there they lived happily ever after. Cate Eddie D Sabotage has struck at the very heart of .Woodwai dl Mr. Keene, the D.

I Mrs. Marie Ersiz A New Spirit Cl-IOOL SPIRIT is a very important factors on any high school championship tean . Therefore pupils of a school should back their team with their school spirit. Since the teams, reserve and varsity, are composed of boys the best way to obtain results is to have the girls wink, flirt, and make love to the boys in the halls. Of course, since the teams are confirmed women haters, it may be a difficult job to do this to any player, but if you really love your school and your team it is your scglemn duty to make the boys feel very comfort- a e. It may take a great deal of effort on the girls part, but be persistent and since there are more girls than boys in Woodwood High it might be a good idea to pursue him in a group of three or more. If this does not work, try writing him notes and grabbing him by the arm and walking him to his next hour class. After this step, to ask him for a date, would be the next practical procedure and by then you should have your man. flf this works let me know so I can write a book on how to get your man.j ,Today EEP Woodward dirty, trashy and junky. Make more work for janitors. Keep the teachers busy. In the past the halls of Woodward have been the essence of cleanlyness. They have been so clean the janitors have compl'-ined. Kids cooperate! Don't let the janitors be fired for lack of labor! Keep the kitties of dust rolling! Abandon the use of trash cans. Slug the guy that tries to pick up the trash. Do your part. Keep Woodward dirty, trashy. and junky. , What Happened Here- -p - Terrible Teachers Crash! Bang! Whoop! Ouch! Help!! He's killing me. Never before have I seen such mean teachers. Just because I didn't have my home-work in on time. Mrs. Hella Anderson beat me on the head with a chair. Boy! Some of the things we aren't go- ing to do when the students start teaching the many Cultured subjects. Rumor has it that Doris Kanipe is teaching Monty lMontgomeryJ how to Conga. Flash! Homer Hanham divoriced his wife and married Annie Wetterman. Congratulations, kids! Kate Tobin was recently cofined to the de- tention home for knocking Jimmie Pollock down and stealing his lollipop.

I'll sign off now and when you read this, I'll be taking Shakespear's advise, Hold death at an arm's length. Gremlins At Work Early April Fool's Day all the little gremlins and gophers arose bright and full of little aggravtions for the day. A meeting was called and the council decided that they would: disconnect the bells and give them patriotically to the scrap drive. replace garlic tablets for the vitamin pills in the cafeteria. shoot the first person who mentions nutrition. slay all teachers who give homework. hide Doc Weleverfs bright red gym shorts and take away his loud, plaid ties. pour water down Bob Sorgenfrie's tuba during a hot lick of I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles . JUNK Today, as on every Friday, the Tattler comes out. Again as on every Friday there. is a large number of absentees, why we don't know! lHa, Hal Our intrepid little junior journalists are the cause of all the crowds rushing out ofdoors. People read the Tattler and panic. Yep, they commit suicide. The Tattler has a real news value. It makes the best book wrapper you ever saw. As scrap paper it's a failure, the only place to write is in the margin. All in all the Tattler is a great little paper. Its reporters beat their brains out fwithafeatheri to please you. MUSGULAR MEN Under the able direction ofanemic Art and Hap- less Homer, the boys' gym class is rapidly becoming toughened up. And it's really wonderful in gym these days. Every body just sits around and watches his arte- ries harden. But boy, I'm really getting strong late ly. You know Charles Atlas, that big strong musc- ular, builder of men? Well I knocked out his grand- mother. And all the women are getting stong too. My girl is a Welder. When I first met her, a divine fire went through me. I thought it was love at first sight, but I found out later l had backed into her blow torch. All the boys are really getting fine figures, big cr-ests and tapering shoulders. My shoulders taper so much they have to rivet my suits on. The girls all look so uncomfortable Boy, I'm glad the boys don't wear girdles. Ouch there goes my strap. And Here -7 ??????i What makes we kiddies feel so drowsy? Whas makes we hand in work so lousy? What makes we whisper, blush, and giggle? What makes we scratch and squirm and wriggle? Us dunno. What makes we stand upon we heads? What makes we sleep beneath we beds? What makts we eat milk and drink we stew? And butter we plates and we teaspoons too? Us still dunno. What makes we want to sit and spoon, And hold we hands beneath the moon? What gets we minds all in a dither And effect we hearts, not we liver? Now us knows- Spring Fiver!! Spring Is Here Ah, Spring. Birds tweet. Girls are sweet Grass is green and all wet and so are the men. Flowers start blooming and put on new colors and so do the girls. On the second floor Mrs. McManamon starts making those eyes at Mr. Purcell, chief engineer, and he tells her that her temperature is way above normal. Of course, she says that she is cold and he must keep her warm. First floorg And where does Miss Wetterman and Mr.Nuber go on these fine days after school? Nobody seems to know and it seems a shame to go right home. Farbe it from me to tell tales but I really think that Mrs. Nuber ought to be told. Another little romance is blooming on the third floor. Miss Cronk just must show Mr. Rohr that sprouting onion and the angelic smile that comes on his face couldn't be just for politeness' sake. As I said, Spring is here, but maybe after the showers come this month, a lot of those budding love dreams will be dampened.

Long John, the man with the zoot skin, was declared ineligible because he refuses to wear his shoes on the basketball floor. By not wearing shoes he has been able to dribble with all fours, thus moving down the floor at a rapid rate. He attached a caterpillar tread to the seat of his pants to provide extra traction. The other players didn't mind till he ran them over and gave them corrugated feet. The ultimate was th-en reached. To turn the knife in the wound, Payak began using a rangeflnder, bombsight, and automatic catapult. That gave him too much of an advantage and the other players complained. They took their complaint to the Amalga- mated Coaches. Train-ers, and We Sell Meat Every Thursday Association. The boys decided that Payak would have to change his ways. John with his usual obstinence refused to co- operate, so he has been suspended. It is a strike. No one will agree to anything. Interviewing Payak, we find his views to be as follows: t'Those ?5i'iQ1D 4ct!'?J0 are crazy if they think I'm going to stop. The association re- turns his compliments.

Mr. Hanham has secured a position at Harriet Whitney and begins his new duties Monday. 21 251 :lf Reports that Satchelfoot Paige, famed colored pitcher, would twirl for the Rennisance intra-mural team were spiked early today when Joe Carns, captain of the Rens, inter- viewed tlie big hurler. Carns stated that while the great Satchmo had a fair fast ball, he was poor on curves, and anyway, Howard Haynes was a much better pitcher. Haynes later admitted that this was true. The sports department of the Wood- ward Tattler is starting a correspond- ence school in sportswriting. Already enrolled are Ring Lardner, Jr., Grant- land Wheat, Bill Gentle Knot Sternj and others of even lesser note, RUGGED TO COACH ATHLETIC ATHLETES Coach Vorderbug Drafted By SPARSQ Lois Draves To Take Over The sports world was electrified to- day by the announcement that Elmer Vorderbug, the present football coach, was drafted into the SPARS. Elmer, after receiving his notice went into his consultation room with that ath- letic athlete, Mrs. Lois Ruggedy' Draves. The session lasted 26 hours and 99 minutes at which time Vorder- bug came out dragging Rugged Draves by the hair. We won! So now Rugged is the new football coach. Preparations for her coming funeral are underway with Jimmy Kanary Kneirim heading the grue- some task. It seems that Vorderbug barely escaped with his life--qluitting the coachmanship just before t e kill. Elmer had a choice of being draft- ed into the WAACS, the WAVES, the Marines or the SPARS. When inter- viewed and asked why he chose the SPARS, Elmer replied When your in the WAACS you can't marry an army guy--and gee! most of the men are in the army-so according to Alge- briac figures if I join the SPARS there will be more men to choose from. And if I don't watch out I'll be an old maid! Oh, murder!! A ceremony will be held by the football team in honor of the great football coach. The banquet will be at Sloppy Joe's Dive Inn at 10:30 Monday night. The menu will consist of a hot dog with a dash of mustard, an apple, and a choice of a bean of coffee or a tea bag. All attending the banquet sign your name in the boys shower room with Jagger Jagodzinski. Water-boy Weis Resigns To Coach All Star Stinkers The sports world was electrified to- day by the announcement that Wilson Water-boy Weis resigned from his position as lightweigh coach to man- age the All Star Kindergarten Stinkers . Mr. Weis by request of the other basketball coaches in Toledo was forced to leave Woodward. The complaint against Wiggle-ears Weis was that he produced too many good teams, thus preventing the other cag-ers from copping the title. Another complaint was that, ac- cording to reliable medical sources, everyone of the lightweights are mid- gets, including Jules Duhart. Mermaids To Perform The sports world was electrified to- day by the announcement that the girls' swimming class was going to put on an exhibition in the girls' gym. First, all the mermaids pick a man from the audience and the show will begin. For a climax and to save water for the war effort, Eileen Trondle will dive from Mr. Parcel's ladder into a damp rag.

CHEATIN G BOWLERS ADMIRED FOR SKILL Baboons Slug Out 301 Pins With Aid Of Radio Device Fulfilling everyone's expectations and electrifying no one, the girl's bowling teams really got their money's worth on Friday, March 26. Using a radio controlled device to guide the ball to a bulls-eye, was Mary Speak whose final score was 299. With this score as a mark to shoot at, Janice Sayen, who is the dark horse of the Pin-up girls' team, brought in the total of 301 pins. This was decidedly a photo-finish job. fThe photo finished the entire team as far as Hollywood is concerned. In an in- terview later Janice divulged after much coaxing, that she used a magnetic ball to help her game. Other high scorers were Winnie Buckly 199, Mary Hoffman 118V2, and Dolores Czarnecki, 1171A.. Individual averages were Mary Speak '195, Janice Sayen 118, Dolores Czarnecki 190, and Marian Vogt 87. Teams are now in the following order as to bowling runs: Pin-Up Girls You Moe 'Em Down We Pick 'Em Up De Tramps By virtue of Miss Catherine Mc- Clure's decision, the Racqueteers have been disqualified from bowling. It was discovered that they were bowl- ing without using any devices to aid their scoring. This, of course, was unsportsmanlike and so it had to be abolished. Bears Acquire Sarcophagus The sports world was electrified to- day by the announcement that Espo- lita Sarcophagus has been acquired to play in the Polar Bears backtield next season. He came to us from Cash U. His record there was 189 yards on the ground fmostly on his hands and kneesj, 176 yards through the air and two referees killed and one wounded. He originated that famous pulley play, the ball is snapped, passed to the wing back, guard, tackle, center, tackle, and back to the receiver. Under conference rules, he will have to discard his ma- chine gun. Sports World Electrifiedg Kaczmarek Electroouted The sports world was electrified to- day by the announcement that our own football star, Louis Kaczmarek, defeat- ed Frankie Flash , Sinkwich in a recent poll for the honor of being most valu- able player of 1942-1943 season. Kaczmarek, referred to as Spark- plug by his teammates, deserved this great honor because of his fighting spirit, sincerity, beautiful punting, pass ing, being the most elusive player on the squad, and having more body co- ordination than any other athlete of our time. After playing on the freshman squad for six years, Snake Hips Kaczrnarek enjoyed another six seasons on the re- serve squad. Diligent practice and a fighting spirit then won him his berth on the Bear's varsity squad. Woodward feels proud to have such an athlete in school and as soon as he works off his fiat feet we will hate to lose him to the Boy Scouts. ,, was Ml: POLARS PURCHASE ST. PAUL FRANCHISE Coach Robie Starts Work By 'Subbing' Girls In Key Positions The sports world was electrified to- day with the announcement that the Woodward Polar Bears had purchased the St. Paul franchise in the American Association. The announcement came as a com- plete surprise even to America's great- est sports authorities Grantland Rice, Bill Stern, and Norman Wolfe. The Bear e-quad will go into spring training immediafey at Wundrip Falls, Idaho Coach Robie has already arrived and is whipping his infield into shape. The rest ofassociaiion teams accepted the news with a surprised air.

U Robie states that his infield will composed of Johnny Payak at first base, Johnny Lone, second base, Janet Phillips shortstop and Louise Tippet, third base. The batboys are as yet unsigned but Dimaggio, Greenberg and Pulhug are expected to come to terms soon.

Girls, it will give you a brand new skin because it simply tears off your old, slightly used epidermis. It also tears off incidental items like noses, fingers, eye lashes. Isadore guar- antees startling results. You won't look like the same person! 3 1 K Miss Annie Wetterman is planning to spread the Good Neighbor policy by giving samba, rhumba, and tango lessons to anyone interested. Plf 'lf PF Do you have any codavers Qdead peo- plel lying around the house? Any juicy fresh corpses that you stumdle over, that get in your way? You can dispose of those troublesome things and line your pockfets at the same time. Mrs. Mary O'Brien's physiology classes long have hungered for a fresh codaver of the human speces to work on and are willing to pay handsomely for the corpse you bring in. It doesn't have to be completely dead, half dead will do. In fact, you can just knock out anybody and if you get the body to 314 before he comes too, they'll take him. ii FF ,F After the experiments on the codaver are finished, the physiology classes will hold a roast to dispose of the remains Eeryone is invited. It is not necessary to bring your meat ration coupons. Sto- mach pumps will be furnished free of charge. What isn't eaten at the roast will be given to the cafeteria to use in sandwich spreads. .L I 1 As a matter of fact, all of the cafet: ria's sandwich spreads are derived from the remains of the physiology and bio- logy experiments. I2idn'tsyou know? 1 Yes, sir! The cafeteria is so short on food, it has been swiping quarts of blood from Miss Hazel Ooy's blood bank and selling it as :tomato Juice' 'F Sli Woofy W. F. Rohr and his child labor classes had their examinations last week. The exam consisted of breaking six piles .of rocks and doing an eight hour shift at Lockheed. After this routine they are rented out for such odd jobs as mowing lawns, washing windows and other small jobs. ll 8 8 Paul Oscar' Thomae has a pet in his machine shop class. It :is none other than Riveting Gertie Kenney. He admires her beautiful back-hand drive which she used to rivet her rivets. I 8 l Miss Amie Miller, completely dis- couraged at the drop in the enrollment has decided to quit school and get a job as a welder. Gert f'Girgling Gertie the Corset Squirt, alias Mrs. Hazel McManarnon, will be at Woodward from April 9 to 19 to dis- play her corset merchandise to the faculty members who need them, and in Woodward that takes in all teachers. Girgling Gertie is known through out the United States for the wonder- ful job of fitting she has done on such people as Elsa Maxwell, Kate Smith, and Mayor LaGaurdia. You will agree she must be a wow if she can fit those five by five's. The performance, using live models who are ultra, is open to both sexes. After all most people agree that the men in Woodward need a little, did it say a little, slenderizingl Wats Welev- ers must have stretched terribly, but when you look at cunning Elmer Vor- derburg y0u'll admit he's solid. Why is there gasoline rationing? Why is there a rubber shortage? 'Cause Gert believes it's more necessary to have a slender population, than a safe World to live in. The fat taken off her corset buyers is melted by Gert and given to the go- vernment to be used in making explo- sives. After all the gals got to be patri- otic. When asked what she thought about coming to Woodward she said ,,I tink it's gwand. I've always dweamed of gir- glin in thet thair school with my cor- sets. Gardening For - - - f P Angle-worms present an interesting problem to victory gardeners. It seems they get harvested every year with the string bean crop. The only correction for this state of affairs is to send to Mr. Floyd Lords for information about the special violet-colored angleworm which he is creating from the pink and blue types found around Toledo. Miss Mary Boyles, garden expert, advises victory gardeners to plant rows of garlic between the rows of vegeta- bles. This, she assures us, will keep the cut-worms away. Spaghetti bushes give greater attrac- tion to victory gardens. Don't miss planting a few this year. Spinach, squash, eggplant, and en- dive grow in pretty colors, even if you don't care to eat them afterward. You can always give them to the neighbor who lets the wind blow his leaves into your yard. It is best never to waste anything. Miss June Anderson's art classes are camouflaging Woodward's outside walls so that we'll be safe from bomb- ers. About half of Woodward has dis- appeared already under the brushes of artists Early this morning as I sauntered into Woodward at 8:59 a. m,. Iobserved a suspicious looking character throw- ing lit matches into waste baskets. Sabotage ll! I crept behind him and stuck my Water pistol in his ribs. He fell to the floor in a dead taint. When he came to, I had him tied with hair, which I had plucked from my long flowing tresses. To my surprise I learn- ed I had captured Secret Agent No.1, Herr Tonic. He wasnt a bad looking fellow,even with his bow legs and crossed eyes. As all Gemans, he was very yellow in color. On his back there was a large poster, on which was printed in black letters-- BRILLIANTlNE. Herr Tonic explained that Brilliantine meant a brilliant boy in his teens. This smart boy is only nine- teen, but w'ho'd a thunk it? When I asked him why he had come to America, he said it was because Herr Clipper had taken away everything he loved. Since he had nothing to live for but the Furher's Face fBlahl I mercifully proceeded to put him out ofhis vnisary. Finding my water pistol had a leak and was empty, I rubbed him wilh Pond's Vanishing Cream, which gave him the wings of an angel. Little Eva Has New System, Morons Sleep Thru Typing Little Eva Mrs. Eva Leu, teacher of oornmercial subjects, has announced that a new system of teaching typing will be used next week and there fter. Here is the system: Students will keep their eyes tightly closed while learning to type. Mrs. Leu stated, 1 hit upon this plan last night in bed ........ you know, I can't sleep nights, continually worry- ing about my students and knowing how hard it is to type when you are first learning. I'm quite sure my plan will be a success. CYour reparsen shoughs the plan was so good shas she couldn's wais so sry is ous--in facs, she is srying is righs now.l Mrs. Leu went on to say she realized that having to hunt or a key was such a bother. Keeping the eyes closed would eliminate this trial. Since most of her students can't read anyhow, she would dispense with it. Your re- porter asked her what she meant by it and she said, Oh, tee, hee, you ask the cutest questions! Little Eva , as Mrs. Leu shyly con- fessed she wished her students would address her, said that pupils who open one eyelid must stay after school for twenty seconds, those who open both lids, forty seconds. I know that sounds rather long, said Little Eva, butI must impress these students with the importance of my plan. Cupid, Spring Hits Monty Hugh Montgomery seems to be in a daze. It could be spring.

Pasch, Former Teacher Leaves For New Position Word has been received from Miss Dorothy Pasch, a lorrner member ot' Woodwards faculty since she has been transfered to a new job which is with the Extended School Service. She is an assistant to Mr. Swisher who is din-e tor of the entire job. This is one brach of a project to help working inothr-rs and will mean long hours and work for Miss Pasch. Childrens Centers will be establisheb in different sestions of the city. In these centers will be nursery schools and extended school service centers. The former teacher stated it was hard for her to decide whether or not she should accept this new position for two reasons. The one was that it meant a separation from old friends in the facul- ty and student body and from a fine principal, the other. However, after considering it a little longer, Miss Pasch accepted because she felt this was her chance to contribute to the war effort by aiding those who are actually working in defense plants. This was Miss Pasch's fourth year in Woodward after being transfered from Stickney school. Her subject was teach- ing English in both schools. She was also co-advortisor with Vilatson Welever of the Sophmore Class.

Betty Jane Rogers will receive a Saga for her splendid record of 14 out of 20 tries, while Calvin Katz won by one shot from Daniel Bienek.

He 5 ' was conscientious about having his boys learn thoroughly all the fundamentals of blocking, passing, tackling, broken field fm' running and so on. His theory was that the boys who were sound in these elements of the game would come through suc- cessfully against other teams that had spent a major portion of their time in mastering intricate plays. Oft times I have heard him talking about the Saturday games. He considered these games as ex- aminations of his entire football squad as well as of himself. He firmly believed that if all pupils and all teachers had to go through public exhibitions as examinations, there would be not only more serious studying on the part of students but more wide awake teaching on the part of the teachers. This is a great deal of illustration to lead up to a point, but here it is: All year the cub journal- ists in the sixth hour class have been preparing for their examination- -this issue of the Tattler. If the Woodward students, teachers, and friends find it up to the standard of previous Tattlers then the class and sponsor have passed In all the years I have been at Woodward these cubs have never failed such a test.I am quite confident that this year's crop will be no exception. Since this is the Sophomore issue of the Tattler, it might be well to say something about them as a whole. A sophomore holds a peculiar place in any academic organization. He is at the between stage. Perhaps it is this position that has made the world for many centuries look upon the sophomore with no little suspicion. He has not yet proven himself. He is to near the Freshman stage and too far from the top to be taken seriously. He is look- ed upon as merely noisy when he waxes argumen- tative. He is not ci edited with solid judgement be- cause he is to young. Now all this is just what the books say about you. I think in some respects it is the best position in your whole high school life. You are advanced enough to see what you should do before gradua- tion. You have not gone too far to make changes in your courses if you so desire. Our Sophmores this year have been unusually good. May they continue in the same way to the end of their school and after school days. Q X, f 7 ll P li W. WM fry 'lf QXMMQ .seein ,.,i..l-.-l--- Principal Sets Splendid Example BSENCE has been a regular feature with too many students of Woodward. Although we do have a good record, it still can be greatly improved. Here in our ow-n portals we have a fine example to follow in the person of C. C. LaRue. In all the years of his teaching and principalship he has not missed a day because of personal illness. What do you say, kids? Even if his record would be hard to attain, at least we can try to live up to it. Pasch Leaves For Duration LTHOUGH it is only for the duration, Miss Dorothy Paschls absence from Woodward will be felt keenly. Miss Pasch was a very busy woman in school, and although her posts have been filled capably, her energetic efforts will be missed. Aside from her many activites, her English pupils, with whom she has worked all year, will be the hardest hit. One doesn't forget an association such as Miss Pasch's in an instant. Her manner of teach- ing and thinking have endeared her to many Wood- wardites. Good luck, Miss Pasch, and may your every venture be successful. Thanks Tattlerites XPERIENCE IS A SELF TEACHER, a quo- tation much used by all classes of people is exemplified by this issue of the Tattler.

Everyone should know who are the intellectual dopes of Woodward. l if ll Red fingers were the result of much typing by Betty Buyea and Angeline Bokan, who really did their part as seniors to make this sophomore issue a success.

THE WOODWARD TATTLER VORDERBURG BEGINS SPRING TRAINING 44 Players Report For First Session Of Practice April 5 Spring training got underway last Monday when Coach Elmer Vorder- burg was greeted by 44 uniformed players who are ready to start three weeks of hard training. Coach Vorderburg started the sea- son off by giving different exercises and calisthenics to get the boys in quick condition. Scrimmages will most likely start in the latter part of next week. ln the past, by joint agreement of Coach Vorderburg and Jim McCarthy of Central, the Irish and Bears have held scrimmages to get a line on new material. However, due to the war Central has cnt out all spring sports, and Vorderburg will probably confine his scrimmages to intra-squad games. In a recent meeting Coach Vorder- burg stated 'fthat all positions are unoccupied, and anyone can try out for the position he chooses. The souad will be built around 14 return- ing men who saw a little action last year. With the aid of Doc Welever and Jim Swaya, Vorderburg should turn out a capable team for next fall. Welever and Swaya are in charge of the line, while Vorderburg takes care of the backfield. Following bovs are returning from last year's grid team: Dick Aubry. Jim Conelly, Jim Kesling, Jim Knierim, John Madras, Andy Matu- siewicz, Jim Norman, Frank Nowak, Ernie Rychlewski, Don Tigges, Clar- ence Puls, Melvin Gust, Bill Wood- ward, and Joe Ustaszewski.

Sport Program Changes Noted As Springtime Begins Exactly 365 days ago today the Tattler sport page bristled with news of Woodward spring sports program. The Bear baseball squad was prepar- ing for its first encounter with the Libbey nine. Dave Kornowa served as Woodward captain. Jack Seymour was captaining his six swingers in their inaugural golf match with Waite. Eight tryouts were reported for the tennis team, which was in- structed by the now army bound George Rohrer. The Woodward pins- ters had just completed a successful season at the Auditorium Bowling Alleys. Now, one year later, baseball, golf, and tennis as inter-school league com- petition are things of the past, but sport minded students who formerly engaged in these spring sports look forward to the day when spring will be welcomed by a full athletic pro- gram. .,r j, 'iff fly .1 . i .- ,JW Hi'i1.i.iEl ...W mil il! S PORTS GOLF TOURNAMENT DRAWS 11 PLAYERS Woodward In District Team ' Meet May 223 Finals At Athens, 0. Renewal of the school golf cham- pionship, discontinued in 1933, will begin April 10. The ultimate winner of the tournament will be awarded the Bert Seligman trophy, and also have his name engraved on the larg: golf trophy. Both trophies now re- pose in the trophy case. Tournament chairman is Howard Phipps, who also coaches the golf team. Eleven hopefuls have entered the tourney, with evidence that some hot matches are on hand. Five player: drew byes the first round, so as to enable two brackets to be formed. To the six low scorers of the matches will go the privilege of play- ing on school golf team. Other schools already having teams are De- Vilbiss, Central, and Libbey. Woodward will compete in the dis- trict team championship May 22,with hopes of being the district repre- sentative at the State Golf champion- ship tournament at Athens, Ohio, May 28 and 29. The State champion- ship will be a four-man aggregate affair. Following are first round pairings to be played off between April 10 and 17. All matches will be 18 holes with the winner decided by the most holes won. Upper Bracket Bud Gerow vs. Bob Durliat. Bob Ruff vs. Eddie Maluka. Tom Meade, bye. Richard Berzezinski, bye. Lower Bracket Paul Parks, bye. Ralph Gajewski, bye. Bob Wysocki, bye. Bear Track Team Continues Despite Lack Of Competition The Bear track team will continue on its own this season despite the fact that Woodward has abandoned all league competition for spring sports. Meets are being planned by Coach Doc Welever and coaches from De- Vilbiss, Scott, and Waite who also plan to have teams. With boys returning from last year and a few he expects to report this season, Doc may round out a pretty fair team. Last year's returning squad includes: Jule Duhart, shot putg Andy Matusziewicz, mile rung Jack Baker, 440 rung Jim Davis, high hurdlesg Chet and Walter Stobinski, runners, and Walt Bonkowski, hurdles. Bowling Green and Columbus will be the sites of the regional and state meets. Coach Welever will probably take to these meets any member that he feels has a chance. Jule Duhart, out to break his coach's Northwestern Ohio record of 48 feet 7 inches, has been shot put- ting just a little short of this record distance set by Doc during his high school career. Should Duhart better this mark, he will undoubtedly go to the Bowling Green meet and possibly the one at Columbus.

A. J. Brown, athletic director and chairman of the affair, introduced C. C. LaRue, who commended the coaches and players, and in turn in- troduced Coach Homer Hanham. The Bear coach spoke briefly about Irv Wisniewski, brilliant center and senior co-captain, who left the squad in the middle of the season to enter 1 branch of the Army Air Forces. He then introduced Curt Ransome, She remaining co-captain. Curt bespoke his admiration for the support the school gave the team This year. He also stated that in his 'ipirion Woodward would have a much better team next year. Following this, Coach Hanham in- troduced the lightweight pilot, Wil- son Weis. Unknown to the average fan, Homer and Wilson work very closely to- gether during the cage season. Their methods and teams resemble each other so closelv that the reserve squad is virtually a miniature var- sity. Mr. Weis awarded letters and cited his souafl for their well knit unity and scholastic standing. In a talk accompanying the presenta- tion of varsity letters, Hanham clear- ly showed his distaste for the opti- mism regarding next year's squad, prevalent in Woodward. He told the returning players that they must point for every game and not think too far ahead. Honored guests at the luncheon were: C. C. LaRue, Opal Barley, Eula lion, Clyde Van Tassel, L. C. Clarke, Watson Welever, Art Smith, and Joe Dence. Cheerleader, Norm Abood, and equipment managers, John Pul- hug, Jim Mahnen, Don Koster, and Don Durfey, were also present.

Miss Ethel Kerlin, new sophomore advisor, stated that the sophomore class was so well organized that she conld make no suggestions to improve it. Besides being soph advisor she has also taken over other duties of Miss Dorothy Pasch, who recently left Wood- ward. She enjoys the work and knows many of the sophomores because of having them in English last year. After graduating from the Univer- sity of Toledo, she taught at Lincoln School and entered VVOodward three years ago. She lives with her sister who teaches history at DeVilbiss. Topping her list of favorite foods are fried chicken and ice cream. She likes to travel and has been to Europe twice. On her first trip across the ocean she visited six countries. Her hobby, one sho is very proud of, is raising roses. Golf is her favorite sport. Being in charge of testing here at Woodward, she recently gave the senior scholarship tests and also administer- ed the army and navy tests. Her plans for this summer are to raise a victory garden. Working with Miss Kerlin as co-adviser is Doc Welever. Ed Sloan Leaves Woodward Climaxing Amazing Record After high school days of leading in nearly every activity he partici- pated in, Ed Sloan left for the Army Air Corps. He is stationed in At- lantic City as a private, but will come out, after twenty months of training for the meterology course, a lieutenant. Looking back over the four years he has been in Woodward, he has ac- quired an amazing record. From his freshman to his senior year he played basketball and football, was a, member of Le Francais, on the executive committee of the sophomore class, a member of the Alchemist Society, secretary his eleventh year and presi- dent this year of the Engineering So- ciety, president of the Junior class, sports editor of the Saga, and'presi- dent of the Victory Corps. He was on the Blade merit parade twice. After the voluntary enlistment of Irwin Wisniewski, and the vacancy left open at the guard position dur- ing the basketball season, Ed stepped in and filled the hole very well. In football he showed the fighting spirit and the stuff and thus got the reg- ular position as the Polar Bear quar- terback. He scored the first touch- down of the season against Libbey, and his intelligence in calling the right plays at the right time high- lighted the Bear football season. Private Sloan expects to join Whiz Wisneiswski at the University of Min- nesota as soon as he gets his basic training. From all teachers and students- God speed you home, Ed. ATTENTION SOPHOMORES lt's a wise old bird that starts things early! This means you, Soph- omores. NOW is the time to start campaigning for Student Council nominations. In just three weeks, a mad rush will be on, petitions will circulate in the school, and the Stu- dent Council elections will be under- way. Five members, instead of four, will be elected to the future Junior class. The Council needs capable, diligent and hardy workers to bo successful next year.

The Stu- dent Council will be in charge of this project. On April 13, first in the series of three programs, the dramatics class will present the play, Hitler Has a Vision. This program, which is used to further the sales of war stamps and bonds in high schools, was writ- ten by Otto Harbach and has been shown in various other high schools. The original cast which included Vernon Baer, who portrays Hitler, Richard Joseph, Satang and Roger Weiher, the Spirit of Decency, will again re-enact the parts. Following this, the students will join in singing several war songs. This will take place during a double assembly at which the freshmen and seniors will attend the firstg sopho- mores and juniors the second. Post Season Game Profits To Buy New Varsity Suits Proceeds from the varsity-reserve basketball game, won by the reserves on March 26, amounted to 32113. This sum shows that Woodward students still have their fine spirit late in the season as 11'out of every 17 students attended the game which was suggested by Joe Dence. New uniforms will be purchased for the varsity and the reserve squad will receive this year's equipment. This decision was made in a recent meet- ing of the athletic board. The varsity led most of the game but a late splurge deadlocked the score 22 all at the end of regulation time. Taking a quick lead next year's varsity won out 28-26.

Booklets are displayed in the library on evreyoccupation. There are also pam- phlets on the WAACs and WAVES.M1ss Stella Sawtelle has reserved one table in the library just for this project. The date on which the tests will be given for students who wish to take them will be announced later. Miss Ethel Kerlin will give the tests. Since Miss Pasch left Woodward, Miss Kerlin has taken over this project. THE WOODWARD TATTLER THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published and Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School.

This drive, since it is Woodward's part in the national war bond drive, must and shall be a success. Naturally there is no need for impressing upon you the importance ofyour money in the war effort. Many ofyou have brothers, sweethearts, and friends in the armed forces. You feel as everyone else feels because your boys have revealed to you a part of their life in the service of their country. As the boys go over the top to meet the foe, let us go over the top with them with war bonds and stamps to buy their weapons. Let's double our quota. ,.,. .1.-1.11. That Building Permit Problem REQUEST was given to deans of all high schools to investigate all building permits and cut down on the number issued. The practice of getting building permits to look for jobs and then getting permits after the job is gotten has raised the number entirely too much. Besides this, schedules have to be altered to per- mit the student to leave before seventh hour, thus causing more confusion for teachers, deans, and hallguards. The idea of getting out of school, and not being punctual, carries over into adulthood. This is part of the reason for so much absenteeism in our factories. Let's all cooperate and cut down on building permits. Remember The Why Of The Vacation EXT WEEK the pupils of this school will be let out Thursday and Friday to enable them to attend their respective churches. These two days should, of course, be spent for the purpose designated. The Board of Education has shown foresight in giving the pupils time to attend their churches and get the religious bene- fits of the Easter Season. Due to the absence of spring vacation, many will feel the urge to drop their religious duties and en- joy the new seasons. Go ahead and enjoy the sea- son. You deserve a change of routine, but consci- entiously remember your duties and GO TO CHURCH. Vote For Able Q Representatives ' RESHMEN, sophomores, and juniors within a few weeks will have the chance to elect their own respective class representatives for the student council. The student council is an organization of service in the school, one which carries on such works as the stamp drive, hall guards, and noon movies. Their tasks require a great deal of time and are done on the pupil's own time. It is a job which is solely service to the school and you recieve no re- muneration for the service except the knowledge that you have done your part to carry on the citizenship of our school. So, students, when voting for your class repre- sentatives, do not choose on a basis of friend- ship. A friend may be dear but his service may be poor. Vote for the person who you think will be of the greatest service to the school. Spring Is Here! Spring is here. Through the snowflakes I can see robins. That's' the first time I ever saw a robin wearing snowshoes. I take off my shoes for the summer at this time. We really don't have bad weather here though, just a heavy dew--up to your knees. People's dispositions really get better in the spring. They say please before they step on your face. As soon as the grass is big enough I roll out the lawn mower, clean it, oil it, sharpen the blades, put in good condition and--loan it to the neighbor. With spring, comes house cleaning time. This year I think a broken arm will carry me through this cruclal period. Last year while beating the rugs-- doing my best, my wife crossed on the other side. Whlffo, I swung, she howled. She wasn't really hurt bad, they told me when I came to. She wasn't mad though. No definitely not. The time she got mad I was in a cast for 20 months. 1 i don't care No homework done, Late for work, Sleeps in sun, Calls people jerks but I don t care.

The poll, cmduzted by N o r m a n Wolfe, sports' editor of the Tattler, found Joe Jacobs of Central number one in the writer's estimation. Jacobs received six first place votes--- en iugh to earn him first place and honorary team captaincy. In 2nd place was Woodward forward Johny Payak. Four of tho scribes bal- loted the Bear star number two, giving him the runner-up spot to Jacobs. Five third place votes sent Jack Pliffer, De- Vilbiss' towering center into that spot. Smoke Gyurko, Macomber's speedy star ranked next in the writer's opin- ion, and in fifth spot came Tommy Rut- ter also of the city champs. The second team was led by speedy Bob Long, Woodward's crack forward. Five ofthe reporters picked Long as the big gun of the second team giving him the captaincy of the reserve quintet. Following Long in second, place was Bill Neeb, Central sparkplug. In third slot was Macomber's towering pivot man, Ed Solomen. Fourth position was awarded to Bob Mathias and George Spirpoplous received fifth place. Honorable mention went to Jack Danner of Central, Tommy Inman of VVaite, and Jack Olds of the DeVilbiss Tigers. Others who received votes were Le- land Pete, Jimmy Knierim, Fred Black, Pete Browning, Mal Coffman, Ed Sloan, and Johnny Juhasz. Woodward Has 72 Gridders Out For Berth On '43 Team Approximately 72 football hopefuls were on the field Monday beginning their Spring training and working for a berth on the '43 edition of the Polar Bears gridiron squad. At this very early stage it is impossi- ble to form a definite weight average concerning the line and with all mem- bers of the backfield leaving school, this will be left entirely to a few re- turning men and lightweight players. Of course even the returning griders can not be depended upon too much, for Eddie Paradysz, junior guard, en- listed in the Marines and probably the draft or more enlistments may mean more juggling on the part of Coach Elmer Vorderburg. The spring training thus far is mostly made up of calisthenics and dashes sprinkled with light scrimmages. As time progresses, however, Coach Vorderburg will crack down on the out of conditioned footballers. Boys returning from last year are: Don Tigges, Bill Woodward, John Madras, Tom Cinley, Frank Nowak, John Callahan, Jim Knierim, Jim Kessling, Dick Aubry, Andy Matus- iewicz, Mel Gust, Frank Piasecki, Jim Norman, Clarence Puls, Ernie Rychlew- ski, and Joe Ustaszewski. Zets Boost Athletic Fund The Zetalethean Literary Society re- cently received a letter from Arnold J. Brown, secretary of the Woodward High School Athletic Association, thanking them for their contributions to the Athletic Fund. The proceeds, 34562, was from candy sales during basketball season. This year the council has been working with a limited budget and has now liquidat- ed the debt. Woodward Thin Clads Begin Training For Track Season Although spring sports are excluded from high schools this year, an atmos- phere of the spring program now is be- ing felt by the thin clads about Wood- ward. Coach Doc Welever has issued suits to approximately fifteen boys who hope to score enough points to win a highly coveted track letter. An average ofone point per meet must be obtained by the Woodward track boys in order to win their letters. It is expected that two or three city meets will be schedualed besides the district and State tournaments. Brothers Jule and Cal Duhart are ex- pected to give each other quite a battle in the shot, discuss and high jump. Doc Welever hopes to have older bro- ther Jule break the shot put record this year. Although the absence ofPri vate Jack Wilson will he to the disad vantage of the team, a good number of boys are diligently working on the hurdles. All boys who still wish to go out for the team should contact Coach Welever and get their suit as soon as possible. Cleo Ackly, Ruth Schroeder Bowl High Games In League Last Week's bowling class brought forth the following high scores: Cleo Ackly led the group with a score of 152 followed closely by Ruth Schroeder with 150. Trailing not far behind came Marion Vogt with 146 and Betty Lou Tucker wtih 145. Fifth highest was Eleanor Sniegocki with a score of 138. The following girls have the high- est averages: Marion Vogt, 140, Betty Lou Tucker, and Eleanor Sniegocki, 1245 Delores Parks, 1219 Doris Kanipe and Delores Czarnecki, 1153 and the high teams are the Bowlerinas, Woodward Wizards, Dead Beats, and Termites.

Coach Vorderburg has two ace passers in the veteran Jim Knierim and rookie Charlie Lentz. He also has Duke Madras, the city's best pass receiver. all P14 il' Jim McCarthy, Central athletic di- rector, has joined Bear coach, Jack Taylor, on the firing line. McCarthy served as football coach and athletic director. It is further expected that Dutch Tscherne, cage mentor, will shortly join McCarthy in the armed forces. For this reason, Pat McCar- thy, all-American center, and ex- Notre Dame star, is football coach and athletic director. Pls 211 ak Boys' gym classes have been run- ning obstacle races this Week. Homer 'md Art have erected hurdles and high mats for the boys to vault or scramble over. Dk Sli JK Toledo's Mud Hens made an auspi- cious debut by thumping Ohio U., 20-3. Several rookies stood out for the Brood including Stretch Goedde, who twirled three innings of faultless ball and fanned six Bobcats, Hal Epps, center fielder, who smashed out three hits, including a homer, and Al Zarilla, whoialso had three hits. We miss talk of Woodward's Polar Bears cavorting over the baseball diamond this year. The Bears have felt the sting of the war most in this sport.

BETTY JEAN ROGERS, CALVIN KATZ, WINNERS OF FOUL SHOOT, QUIZZED Betty Betty Jane Rogers, blonde, blue-eyed, and petite freshman, is not at all the type of girl whom you would expect to win a foul shooting contest--she's too little. Five feet two, eyes of blue. However, Betty Jane made 14 shots out of 20. She has power and accuracy in those little arms, thus enabling her to make such a record. Interested in all types ofsports,she rates roller skat- ing high. This is the one in which she is the most active. After being at Woodward for a semester and a half, she has decided that she likes it very much. Evidently the gym classes have had a little to do with this. 1Of course, how could she help it anyway.5 She is a native of Spring school. Betty is interested in all her subjects --just interested? Boys don't bother her very much--they can waituntil she is a sophomore. Betty can be seen most anytime 1 with Lottie and Wanda Rendziora. Cal Winning foul shooting contests is nothing new to Calvin Katz. The annu- al Tattlcr contest was the third in his string of victories. Calvin started with a score of seven of ten shots in the qualifying sound. He shot seven of ten in the semi-final and finished strong to win with eight out of ten. Katz came to us from Spring school. Incidently, the girl who won the foul shooting contest came from that school too. Maybe there's something to that. While there, he won two of the grade school foul shooting contests which are held here at Woodward. Like most athletes he does not spe- cialize in any particular sport. He likes football, baseball,basketball and swim- ming. Being only a freshman Calvin has only participated in basketball thus far but he plans to go out for football nixt season. Calvin was a whiz on the freshman squad and is one of the top prospects for the lightweight club. FINANCIAL REPORT RECEIVED BY BROWN Ticket Sales Reach S2175 At Section al Tourny A.J.

In order to keep up with all this work of issuing uniforms and keeping track of balls, John is assisted by Don Koster, Don Durfey,aind Jim Mahnen. Ted Szelagowski, Former Woodwardite, Visits Here After serving in the Army Air Corps at Atlantic City for 10 months, Ted Szelagowski, former star athlete of Woodward and Toledo University, vis- ited Woodward last Monday during his furlough. Ted, who is a physical education teacher, did his practice teaching here at Woodward under Homer Hanham and Art Smith. He is now doing physi- cal training for the Army.

Don Weber is that ideal. ilis list of achievements is as long as your arm. Don came to us from Stickney School. He recently became presi- cient of the Victory Corps when Ed Sloan left school for the armed 'orces. Speaking of the Victory Corps, Don made the following state- ment. Under the direction of Ed Sloan, the Victory Corps has gotten off to a fine start. During his freshman year, Dewey, as he is affectionately called by those close to him, was vice president of the Hi-Y and a member of the tennis team. ln his sophomore year he was a member of the Student Council, president of the Hi-Y and a member of the Spanish Club. He was also general chairman of the Sophrolic. This year he is president of the Spanish Club, a member of the Hi-Y and treasurer of the Student Council. Don's favorite extra curricular ac- 'oivity is Mary Speak. At latest re- ports they were getting along fa- mously. His favorite sport is tennis. He began playing in the sixth grade. He was a member of the tennis team un- til Spring sports were recently dis- continued. Tall, dark and handsome, Don's oleasinff, easy, unaifected manner makes him a genial favorite of the students. Ex Students On T.U. Staff A recent annoucement in the Toledo Blade revealed that five out of the fif- teen new staff members of the Univer- sity's Campus Collegiate are former Woodward students. Patty Hammon- tree and Jean Douglas are co-editors while Helen Schiedler, Elaine Roach, and Harry Jacobs were also given staff positions. NAIVE TATTLER OFF AS ELMER LEA It was bitterly cold for mid-April. Outside the wind howled as Wood- ward settled down for another day. On the first floor Miss Tippet stood, pencil poised, hoping that some fresh- man would report late. On the second floor Mrs. MacManamon was telling the janitor that it wasn't cold, as she added more chairs to the fire, she had built in the ventilator. On the third floor, two female students were showing Mr. Vorderburg how to tie three cornered pants with his handkerchief. In his office C. C.

A minimum wage, 5515.00 per week .has been established. However, the -pupil may work extra in his school week and bring his earnings to a maximum of 522. . Only next year's seniors will be per- mitted to enroll, and no students plann- ing on college will pe accepted. In the event that 50 pupils are not interested, the program will be abandoned. Mrs. Margaret Dwyer, of Whitney, is the director of the plan. A new schedule to accomodate these groups will be formed by C.C. LaRue before May 6, the date for choice cards.

I like the idea of seperating the girls and the boys , remarked Mr. Block. He also stated that he approved of the plan by which the students were ordered to face the nearest exit. As a whole, replied Mr. Crider and Mr. Block, the drill was directed very welln. Clyde Van Tassel, Chief Air Raid of Woodward, also agreed that the drilluwas succesful' Good Friday Worship Held A capacity audience filled the Para- mount Theatre on Good Friday after- noon to worship with the Young Peo- ple's Federation of the Council of Churches.

Continues Fine Work HROUGH the cooperation of the members of the Victory Corps, the student organization is now getting into full swing. Ever since the first member was inducted, con- scientious students have been working in the cafe- teria at lunch time and as hall guards, some girls have volunteered their help in the school nurseries, everyone who plants a victory garden will receive credit for the Corps. Now the request that the Corps aid in the preparation of the, Woodward Room for the cadets at Toledo University. Certainly this is evidence that the Woodward high school Victory Corps has been recognized. Now that we are on our way, let's get behind our cabinet and advisors and push the wheel of victory ahead. Concerning Out Of Date Posters FEW WEEKS ago an editorial appeared urging students to further their campaigns by posting signs in various places throughout the school. We have also been permitted to use posters as a form of advertising school affairs. Such a privilege should not be abused. Advertising committees distributing signs should feel it their conscientious duty to remove their signs after the purpose has been served. Let's extend our slogan, Keep Woodward Clean, so that it will include walls and bulletin boards. Seniors Attention! HE SENIORS are entering, the last quarter of the last year in their high school careers. The time intervening between now and graduation will be the most important period for every senior. Gala occassions like the Senior Prom and the Senior Banquet will take place within the next few weeks, not to mention the activities associated with graduation. From now till the seniors receive their diplomas in June memories for the next fifty 'or more years will be in the making. The seniors should not willingly cheat themselves of what is the most thrilling part of a high school career. They should join in the work to be done preparing for these activities. Senior committees ought to have the whole-hearted support of the entire senior class. Seniors should make it a point to attend all these activities which are planned especially for them. Regret and a feeling of having been left out will no doubt fill any senior who misses any of these approaching occasions. Sleep Sleep is something that everyone seems to lack. It attacks a person almost everywhere. Some in- stances are during the study hall period, right now, ect. ect. It first attacks you with s yawn which stretches your cheeks a little to make them feel comfortable. Next comes the drooping of the eyes and the little gremlin comes to tease you and tell you your home- work needn't be done. Then you dream of your ideals and then you drop a little more, Drip. You dream deeper and then you hear a teacher scream, Eels, a mouse!! fd ---- ity YoU NAME IT l I X Swap Shop - You are about to read the most startling expose of the year-- the Tattler editor is not all there.

He is a very intelligent mutt. When a call was issued for air raid wardens, he volunteered -- but he demanded a job looking after the lamp posts --taking care ofthe lights, of course, what else? He has a bad fault, though. He loves to chew my shoes to pieces. In days of yore, this aggravated me but I could always buy a new pair of shoes. Now it's much more serious! Especially since he's already chewed up my No. 17 stamp. My dog also has a bad habit of chasing people. He chases everybody. But I don't mind. The other day he chased the milkman and frightened him so that he dropped three pounds of butter. Now I'm hoping he developes a hatred for the butcher boy. However,I really love my little April. He lets me share his dog food!

Goose McNitt is still looking for a senior prom date, ditto for Paul Parks. The change of weather has not affected Frannie Dyer and Bob Durliat for they are still going steady. N if - Oh yes!

A social mixer and light refresh- ments begin the day, followed by soft ball, volley ball, badminton, and tennis games. After lunch there will be skits and stunts presented by the groups. Girls will have access to the university's swimming pool. A tour of the campus is also planned. 1 Miss Catherine McClure will ac- cfompany the Woodward girls. - i 30 BOYS TRY OUT FOR TRACK TEAM , Coach Doc Welever has been 7 greeted by a fine turnout for his 1943 kxtrack edition. Seven men from last ,iyear's cinder squad are returning i vith about 20 newcomers also report- ir-g. Epring football has handicapped a fei track players but they will re- port as soon as training is over. Welever expects to produce a fair team this year although several players upon from last year's squad. Jule Duhart, who will team captain, has been the shot-put and discus weeks and should be main point-getter. Jule he has lost graduation probably be working on for several Woodward's will be out trying to beat his coaches' shot-put record of 48 feet seven inches. Other schools also having track teams are DeVilbiss, Scott, and Waite. The meets are being planned by the various track coaches. DeVilbiss' Jack Pfeiffer set a new record for the discus by throwing it 145 feet. He will undoubtedly give Duhart much competition. Ted Miller Represents Home Economics Classes at Panel Ted Miller represented the Wood- ward home economics department at a panel discussion at the Board of Edu- cation, Monday evening, April 26, on What are the problems facing parents and high school childr n today and how can home economics help solve them? Boys represented Woodward and DeVilbiss while girls represented Scott and Libbey. Mothers from Woodward and Waite spoke for their respective schools with Mrs. Meek, mother of Betty Meek, speaking for Woodward. Dr. Merrill Palmer of the University of Michigan was moderator of the dis- cussion. PING PONG EXPERTS REVEAL INTERESTS All Sports Rate High With Undefeated Ping Pong Playing Duo This week our interview turns to none other tihan a sophomore boy, Clifford Davi . Cliff, who hails from Stickney, gained much experience in bad- minton, shuffleboard, tennis, and ping-pong while at the Friendly Cen- ter. This gay base Warbler of the Glee Club likes fast moving games, which is the reason for going out for lightweight basketball next season. Our Student Council member likes to dance, but Not with any particular feminine interest. Mr. David, now employed as a shoe salesman, is studying music, which he hopes to make his career. The other half of the athletically inclined duo is pretty Sarah Tzana- kis, senior, who hails from Riverside school. She is active in all sports including baseball, track, soft ball, and basket- ball. Incidently she refereed one of the Tattler girls' games. According to Sarah: Cliff is a fine partner, and they play well together. Ping pong is their strong sport and they are undefeated. Her heart-throb is Pvt. Leonard Dotson of the United States Army. Classes Receive Records The electrical classes of Woodward have received thirteen phonograph re- cords with the Morse code all worked out in examples. These records were bought by the school out of the general fund and will be used in all of the electrical classes. Soldiers in the signal corps get the same basic training which our boys get in this course. Woodward Sports Program Proves Financial Success With the publishing, by A.J. Brown, of Woodward's annual athletic report this week, Woodward students were gratified to learn that the sports year was a financial success. Woodward athletic team compiled a total of 38,247.44 activities such as movies, candy sales, and dances. This total easily surpasses that of the past fourteen years, and enables Woodward to'close the athletic program with a balance of S2,349.16. Of this total 36,399.61 was gleaned from actual ticket sales. Top sales for football was appropriately enough, the Waite battle. A total of 3767.61 was taken in from this game alone. In basketball the second game with Macomber netted 35394.79 for the sea- son's high total. Mr. Brown announced also, that all the coaches received their full salary, for he first time in several years. The total proceeds this year exceed- ed that of the past two years without the help of Gayety Night, which last year sent 1700 dollars into the treasury. The athletic director, coaches and members of the athletic board should be commended for their fine workin putting Woodward on its feet. Golf Enthusiasts Prepare For Meet Against DeVilbiss The upper bracket of the Woodward Golf team has gotten off to a good start. The winner of the Bud Gerow and Eddie Maluka match will play Richard Brcynski. In the lower bracket, Thomas Os- berger plays Ralph Gajewski.

My, what a strenuous playdayl Speaking of Bowling Green, did you notice Miss McClure's ten year old niece visiting the girls' gym classes last Tuesday? She lives in Bowling Green and whether she is under the influence of the University's physical education or not, she certainly has the pep and enthusiasm for gym work . . . We hope to teach every Woodward girl the rules for shuffleboard, table ten- nis, and badminton, stated Miss Catherine McClure. So there is your chance, girls . . . Here's something rare-a certain girls' squad call themselves Pink Bloomers' . . . Have you noticed the cartoon tacked on the bulletin board in the girls' gym? Table tennis enthusiasts would enjoy it . . . Hats off' -to the highest bowler of the week, Mary Biggs who scored 153, no less. Also to Marion Vogt who averages 141 . . . Next Tuesday will be the last day for girls' hygiene classes. Mrs. Ethel Hayes will then be free to fill Mrs. Lois Draves' place. All you sports enthusiasts probably noticed that Woodward was given special mention in the Sunday Times last week. The former Bear foot- ball players who have gone into the armed forces were given special men- tion. The Times went a bit farther and stated that the Bears should be having a winning team next year . . . The varsity turned in a fine perform- ance against a powerful Libbey eleven during a recent scrimmage . . . Intra- mural softball is slated to start 'in the near future. The Polish Lits and the Renaissance will again enter a team. These two squads are the old- est teams in the league . . . The golf season started with Tom Osberger giving Homer Powers a severe beat- ing. Durliat forfeited a game to Bob Gerow by failing to show up for the game . . . The gym classes have tem- porarily left their obstacle course to go out on the football field for some softball . . . DeVilbiss recently placed sixth in a. statewide track meet. Jack Pfiffer almost established a new rec- ord in the discus throw. His throw was 146 feet . . . A lot of Woodward- ites attended the Mud Hen opener last night against Indianapolis. A. SMITH ATTEN DS PHYSICAL ED. MEET Convention Stresses Need Of More Strenuous Activities Art Smith, Woodward gym in- structor, attended the National Phy- sical Education Convention held last week from Tuesday to Saturday at the Gibson Hotel in Cincinnati. The theme of the convention was Phy- sical Fitness During VVartime. The general consensus of opinion of the convention was that the pres- ent physical program has been suf- Hcient to fill the nation's peacetime needs but must be stepped up dras- tically to fill the needs of a nation at war. The convention reached no decisions, but rather made recom- mendations on how to improve phy- sical education in the various schools. The argument of whether the army and navy or the civilian instructors should prescribe the program for the schools was debated. Many schools, Woodward included, are following the Victory Corps program which adds to the present program activities which compel the participants to exert real physical energy. The convention was attended by many high ranking army and navy officers. Most of these men were formerly physical instructors in schools throughout the country. Out- standing among these was Bernie Bierman, former head coach at Min- nesota. Bierman and Art Smith dis- cussed Al Greenwood, Bear graduate, who played under Bierman at Iowa Pre Flight before being sent to training in the Air Corp.

She relates many interesting incidents which occured during her visit. it if IF When are those eligible males, Vern Baer, George Skaff, and Chuck Mann going to break down and tell us the names of their Senior Prom dates? Don't wait too long, boys, for you may be left without a date. A word to the wise is sufficient. . l The Spanish Club banquet place cards, designed by Christine Pavos, were the most original and clever we've seen in many a day.Don Quixote and windmills was the scene painted on each of the csrds. 1 i U There are certainly many Bob Hope and Madeline Carroll fans in Wood- ward. Last week's movie enriched the Athletic fund by approximately 5109.00 for over 1000 tickets were sold. e e e Who was the culprit who was re- sponsible for the jamming up of tele- phone communication by removing the receiver from one of the phones last Wednesday? e e e The sparkling diamond on Gertie Miller's finger makes her engagement to Irving Birr offical. Angela Abair An excellent example of a use for scrap material of various sorts are the toys made by Woodward people for the children of the nursery schools. Orange crates, cheese boxes, oatmeal cartons, spools, scraps of ma- terials and wallpaper, and left-over paint have been turned into toys which teach eye, hand, and muscle control and give the child the oppor- tunity to learn to do things as pre- scribed by child care courses for boys and girls under the direction of Miss Angela Abair. The girls and boys of Miss Abair's classes cooperated on sewing, saw- ing, and painting and were ably as- sisted by S. B. Crouse and O. M. Thompson. Individual contributions were made by Dick Seymour and Norman Stallbaum, a bingo bed, Mr. Thompson, a chair, Mr. Crouse, a rocker, and Jim Kessley assisted in producing puzzles, color cones, and dolls. The result of the work of these boys and girls are wagons, spool and rag dolls, doll beds of all sizes, min- iature work benches, puzzles, color cones, scrap books, book ends, and blocks.

During seventh hour of that same day, Mr. LaRue suddenly remembered his obligation and called down-to his office three able student musicians who were only too eager to oblige. Gordon Collum, and Jack Reichlin were feted to dinner and heard with pleasure Mr. LaRue's inspiring speech vindicating the delinquency of the present school going generation. Susan Timmel, the third member of the trio, came late and stayed only to perform.
