The time has come once more for the seniors to move on and leave their places to the seniors of next year. Before they leave they pause to look back over the four wonderful years that have been such an important part of their lives. How well they remember the beginning of their freshman year when friends from Homedale, Linworth, Flint, Worthington came to school to- gether for the first time! It was in this year of 1946 that Tom Carskadon was elected class pres- ident and Marcie Jacobs was chosen to represent the class in the homecoming court. This successful year came to a close with a picnic at York Temple. Then came the thrill of being in the high school building for the first time. Andy Anderson held the office of president, and Monica Johnston was the sophomore attendant at homecoming. The class sponsored a magazine sale and several dances to raise money. The junior year was a busy one. Lester Moench was the president, and Joanne McPherson was homecoming attendant. The junior class play .......President . .Vice-President .......Treasurer .......Secretary was successfully presented with Judy Hutchinson taking the lead. During this year the basketball team took that unforgettable trip to Athens. The junior-senior banquet was outstanding. It was climaxed with a dance in Fantasia at Brookside. Before the year was over, Jean McQuilkin was choosing her annual staff and making plans for the annual of 1950. They finally reached the top! Clint Griggs led the class as president. Norma Bachelor reigned as homecoming queen attended by Suzanne Mar- key. The football team had a fine season with Mike Freeman as captain. Once more Worthinq- ton gave a top-notch senior play with Dwight Hurd and Suzanne Markey in the spotlight. Everyone was singing we're going to Athens with hiqh hopes. As this school year draws to a close, the class of '50 looks forward to college and jobs next year. Plans are being made for the junior- senior prom and banquet. The seniors will always remember the happy times at W. H. S. and the class that was Nifty in '50. 12 BILL AMICK “A large charge with the Short Cir- cuit ANDY ANDERSON Jolton hat nothing on him.” NORMA JEAN BACHELOR “Every inch a queen.” RITCHIE BALDWIN “Oh, tor the love of Mike!” PAT BARTLEY Tho sweater gal with lots of oomph.” DOB BUELL “Really on the ball Ibasketball, that It).

HONOR SOCIETY LEADERSHIP, CHARACTER, SERVICE AND SCHOLARSHIP Members of fhe junior end senior classes are chosen for the Franklin County Honor Society by the faculty, with leadership, char- acter, service, and scholarship the basis for their choice. To be eligible for consideration a student must be in the upper third of his class. Each class is permitted to have as many members as there are students in one-fourth of the class. One half of this number are chosen in the junior year and the others during the senior year. There are two meetings each year with induction of new mem- bers, an interesting program and refreshments. There is usually a square dance following the meeting. The two meetings this year were held at Mifflin and Gahanna, where we met with fellow-members from other schools in the county. We salute these students who are preparing to become the leaders of tomorrow. First Row—Carrico, Ramsoy, Gilbert, Loach, Muncie.

SHORT CIRCUIT THE SCHOOL TRUMPET The Short Circuit, the school newspaper, is written and pub- lished by the students four times a year. It consists of class news, sport write-ups, feature articles, and school gossip. The commercial department takes care of the production of the paper, and the art students design the covers and various car- toons found in it. Producing the paper is valuable experience for the students, as many learn to type stencils, use the mimeoscope, and operate the mimeograph. Mrs. Haueisen was this year's capable advisor of the Short Cir- cuit and Bill Amick was the efficient student editor. 35 THE ORACLE THE SCHOOL PAGE IN THE WORTHINGTON NEWS As Thursday rolls around, everyone eagerly scans The section of the Worthington News known as the Oracle for the latest gossip, tips on dressing in the fashion world, and announcements of coming events such as operettas, class plays, and dances. All the reporters must meet a certain deadline each week and they work hard to get their articles ready for publication. Another important article in the paper this year was the sports coverage by Andrew Spieker. He reported all sports at W. H. S. and had the privilege of having his articles printed on the front page of the Worthington News. The students, the capable editor, Marion Gable, who worked hard to make the Oracle a success this year, and Mrs. Haueisen, whose cooperation made it possible to have the articles typed and proof read in time to meet the deadline, deserve much credit for the success of the Oracle.

Third Row—Posey, Wolf, Freeman, Amick, Wright, Hurd, Speiker, Daum, Dave, Cahoon. 36 MNEMOSYNEAN SOCIETY THE ART AND MUSIC LOVERS This group was organized by Mrs. Hofacker in 1947 and consists ot students interested in music and art. Every two weeks, meetings are held in the members' homes to discuss these subjects, listen to records, and study other related material. Since the membership is small, there are no officers and the organization is able to participate in two small contests and the annual music memory contest at Cleveland. During the year, the club sponsored a viola recital by Bill McCulloh accompanied by Dave DeVoe, both recent alumni of the club. This last winter, the members decided to study different religions such as Methodism, Mohammedanism, etc. In a discussion of the contributions of these religions, the members arrived at a better understanding of other people s methods of worship. We wish all the members good luck and hope next year s club will endeavor to hold up the high standards of the group in the past. 37 Seated—Spieker.

President Lester Moench................ Vice-President Lean McCulloh.................... Secretary Bill Miller. ......................Treasurer To create, maintain, and extend through the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character is the lofty purpose of Hi-Y. Any high school boy who will put forth his best efforts toward character development and live up to this motto may become a member of this fine organization. The Hi-Y is a branch of the Y.M.C.A. and is both a social and religious club. To help the boys live up to these high standards is the job of club’s very capable advisor, Mr. Dow Nelson, who has been the advisor of the club for the past seven years. Each year the organization sponsors many activities. Some of the outstanding activities of the past year were the annual home- coming dance, co-sponsoring the (Jhristmas formal with the Y-Teens, and managing the annual Hi-Y basketball tournament. We hope that the members will try to live up to the fine Hi-Y creed all through life.

Y-TEENS FELLOWSHIP, LEADERSHIP, AND GUIDANCE The Y-Teens is an organization open to all senior high girls willing to conduct themselves in a manner above reproach. To achieve a higher standard of American womanhood is their aim. The first activities were rough and formal initiation. Paul Decker and his orchestra played for the two dances, the Christmas and the Spring formats. Then the Alumnae Tea was at Mitzi Timmons' during Christmas vacation. The two projects for this year were Christmas gifts for the State Hospital and the cancer campaign in April. The latter covered Worthington, Riverlea, and Colonial Hills and the entire club took an active part. This organization has as capable advisors Miss Frye and Mrs. Haueisen.

Besides singing for devo- tionals and P. T. A., the girls make one or two radio and T. V. ap- pearances during the year.

STUDENT COUNCIL OUR GOVERNING BODY OFFICERS The student council is composed of the class presidents, one representative from each home room, and the presidents of all the organizations. It tries to solve the various problems of the student body as presented by the students and faculty and gives the students greater opportunities for self-direction. It also supervises the penal- izing of pupils who break the rules of the school. Mr. Heischman is the able advisor of the governing body and the following were the officers of this year's student council: Clint Griggs, president; Andrew Spieker, vice-president; Dolores Post, Post, secretary-treasurer; and Ritchie Baldwin, reporter. The student council has been responsible for various improve- ments around the school during the year. The purchase of a movie screen, operating a concession stand at noon, inspection of lockers, and appointing hall monitors to rid the halls of loafers are but a few of the many projects the organization has supervised. We hope that future students councils will be as active as this year's.

After that short and rather carefree meeting the staff had many rough wrinkles to iron out and serious problems to consider. The salesmen, led by Fred Norton, did an out- standing job in organizing and conducting the campaign. No one can thank these super-salesmen enough for the time and energy put forth in behalf of this worthy school project, the annual yearbook. Perhaps the critics who deserve the most credit are Miss Frye, Mrs. Law, and Mr. McCord. The red pencil of Miss Frye, the artful eye of Mrs. Law, and the firm guidance of Mr. McCord, who pro- Sootod—Mr. McCord, McOuilkin, Mrs. Low. Standing—loach, McCord. Horch, Gobi .

CARDINAL THE BY-GONE YEARS AND ACTIVITIES vided the necessary signatures and approvals, all have contributed to the success of Tne Cardinal. Certainly the staff cannot forget its editor, Jean McQuilkin, without whose efficient workmanship the annual might have failed. We, the staff, wish to express our thanks to everyone who con- tributed to this book.

DRAMATICS THE OUTSTANDING PRODUCTIONS THAT ALL ONE-ACT PLAYS The one-acts annually presented by the speech classes were under the direction of Mrs. Hofacker. Unusual this year, they traced the development of the theater from its beginning. Colored slides were used as illustrations. At three different stages of the history, the performers presented a play as an example of the period in- dicated on the slide. The last play, a modern dramatic selection, was entered in the contest known as the One-Act play and Poetry Reading District Contest. This spring Worthington played host to the competing schools for this event. 44 WORTHINGTON TURNED OUT TO ENJOY SENIOR CLASS PLAY This year's senior production was a comedy entitled Nothing But The Truth. It is the story of a man who bets ten thousand dollars that he can tell the absolute truth tor twentv-four hours. His em- barrassing predicaments are the source of delight to the men Bob bets with, but in the end he outwits them and wins the money and also the girl. The cast was headed by Dwight Hurd and Suianne Markey. Others in the cast were Dave Cahoon, Beverly Horch, Bill Amick, Bob Wright, Andrew Speiker, Joan Daumier, Marion Sable, Mary Helen Johnson, and Ernestine Parker. The entire cast wants to thank Mrs. Hofacker, without whom such a splendid performance couldn't have been possible. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY At the time the annual went to press, work was beginning on the Junior Class Play The Thirteenth Chair. We are looking for- ward to a successful performance.

The result is good entertainment to fill in between the acts. Much time is also spent in practicing for concerts and the All-County Music Festival. BAND Who is this coming onto the football field? call the spec- tators. It is the band with new uniforms obtained with aid from the Worthington patrons. New formations and marching songs were added to the band's repertoire this year. These additions were made possible by Mr. Franck. This year the band has been subdivided into various smaller organizations which function in addition to the main band. Some of these smaller groups include, to name several, the dance band, the German band, and the trumpet trio. Chesser, McCord, Dumbauld, Nelson, Price, Mick. Barber, French, Leedy, Scatterday, Hoag.

A LOT OF ZIP THEY SPUR OUR TEAM TO VICTORY MAJORETTES The boys may get their chance to show off on the football field, but so do the girls. These gals get a chance to strut their stuff at the half with the band. Flying skirts and flashing batons are the trademarks of these energetic girls. They add much color to the half-time activities and are doing a fine job. CHEERLEADERS Louder! C'mon kids, let's yell! ! come the persuasive yet sometimes frustrated cries of the cheerleaders. The Student Council made a deliberate attempt this year to recover the usually fervent school spirit but part of the credit for improvement must be given to our fine Fight! Fight! Fight! group who help cheer our team to victory. Their originality in cheers and style outshone the groups from many schools and tneir vivacity and pep in all athletic contests rate them A-plus cheerleaders. We think the student body made a fine choice this year, how about you? Fiist Row—Hutchison, Chesser (Doris), Bartley, Cahoon, Feather, King, langhirt.

THE FOOTBALL SEASON OUR BALL TOTERS Pre-season prospects didn't seem too encouraging to Coach Nelson and his thrity-nine enthusiasts, but with a great deal of spirit the team finished second in their final season in the Franklin County League and compiled a favorable 6-1-1 record. In the lead-off game, the Cards showed power by crushing Winchester 27-6. Next on the schedule came the Marysville Monarchs, a 0-0 decision in which game Pete Fields came within one yard of scoring and Jim Trippett sparked the defensive unit. Incidently, this was the only blemish on Marysville's undefeated season. At Dublin the team found more opposition than first expected but won by a score of 27-12. Little trouble was had the Groveport and 46-1 3 is how the game ended. The game with Hilliards the following week was a different story, because the loser was to drop out of the top spot in the league race. However, when the crowd was cleared from the field after a rough game it was Worthington on top 14-7. The 1949 Homecoming game with Mifflin featured rain, Mel Clemens, Joe Hans, and more rain. After four hard-fought quarters, the score was Mifflin 19 and WHS 0. In our last official county league game, with Reynoldsburg, a tie for second was assured us by a 13 to 0 victory, and in the final a stubborn Grove City eleven was downed 25 to 6. Outstanding in individual play and selected for all-county honors were Capt. Mike Freeman at guard, fullback Pete Fields, right end Ed Vollrath, and center Bob Buell. Others who contributed greatly to the success of the team were backs Clint Griggs, Jim Trippett, Bob Gooby, Ronnie Jarrett, Dave Cahoon, Jim Tarbutton, and Doug Dierks. Up front were Dwight Hurd, Don Feather, Lester Moench, Tom Carskadon, Andy Anderson, Jim Corrigan. All of these boys received letter awards. 52 SEASON’S SCORES WHS 27 Canal Winchester 6 WHS 0 Marysville 0 WHS 27 Dublin 12 WHS 46 Groveport 13 WHS 14 Hilliards 7 WHS 0 Mifflin 19 WHS 13 Reynoldsburg 0 WHS 25 Grove City 6 152 63 Top Row — Cahoon, An- derson, Feather, Moench.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach Ray Heischman came up with another potent Worthing- ton cage squad, which gave its many followers plenty of thrills and excitement in rolling up twenty wins against ten defeats. The Card- inals finished second in the county league, won the county tournament title (their fourth in the last five years!, and, in spite of a disputed final game with London, successfully defended their central district title. In the opening regional game at Athens, the Cards were nosed out of the running by Philo, 36-34. The starting five was composed of three juniors, Jack Woods, Ronnie Jarrett, and Jack Henderson, and two seniors, Bob Buell, and Bob Sooby. Of this group, reliable veteran Jack Woods, scrappy Bob Gooby, and Captain Bob Buell were accorded all-county honors. Bob Buell set a new school record by tossing in a total of 42 points against Hilliards, and set a new county league record by recording 263 points in county competition. As fitting tribute to his outstanding offensive play, Bob was awarded a berth on the AP all-state team. RESERVE BASKETBALL It has become almost an annual achievement for the Worthington reserve team to win the Franklin County League championship, and this season this feat was accomplished under the able guidance of coach ’Brownie Cellar. Almost Annual Achievement is no ex- aggeration because in the last nine years the Little Cards finished out of first place just once, that being in 1945 when they were second to Groveport. In league play the squad had a 10-0 record and a seasonal record of sixteen wins and four defeats. First Row—Jarrett, Woods, Bu- •II, Gooby, Henderson.

TRACK EISENHART'S EGOTISTS The 1950 Worthington track squad, sparked by returning letter- men Ed Vollrath, Jack Herritt, Mike Freeman, Andy Anderson, Jack Woods, and Captain Jim Trippett, went through the toughest sched- ule ever. This squad is probably the strongest in W. H. S. history, except in the weight events. There was plenty of other talent besides the lettermen. Quite promising are middle-distance runners Bill Bell, Wayne Six, Don Crow, Tom Burt, Andrew Spieker; sprinter Buddy Butler; hurdlers Marten Steward, Chuck McKnight, Ronnie Jarret, and Don Rieke; milers Ken Russell, Jim Biven, and Leon McCulloh; and pole vaulters Bob Wright, Jim Browning and Jack Bartley. In addition to plenty of tough dual meets the track Cardinals participated in the Worthington Relays, Ohio Wesleyan Relays, Pre-Mid Six Meet, Newark Relays, Springfield Relays, Ohio University Relays, and the county district, and state meets. 56 BASEBALL DOW’S DIZZY DIMAGGIOS Coach Nelson' job this year is to build his baseball squad around three returning lettermen. Prospects in this sport seem bright after last year's mediocre record compiled by an inexperienced team. The greatest worry facing Coach is filling the pitching and infield positions. Catcher Pete Fields, first baseman Bob Buell, and shortstop Wally Hall are three returning lettermen. But others who have seen previous service and will be back competing for top honors are Doug Diercks, Bob Gausman, Chuck Thomas, Calvin Shuster, Bob Hall, and Don Feathers. Other likely looking prospects include Beldon Dixon, Kent Bruno, Ronnie Baxter, George Allison, Leo Slack, and Bob Johnson. Fred Norton will see service as manager. Again this year the county will be divided into a northern and a southern division, with Worthington, Hilliards, Dublin, Mifflin, and Gahanna competing in the former division. In addition to games with these schools three other home-and-home contests are on sched- ule. THE 1949 TEAM First How— Shuslsr, Slock. Second tow—Allicon, McKibben, Buell. Monika, Dildine, Shearer, Todd, Thomas, Field . Third Row—Coach Nelson, Norton, Holl (Bob), Diercks, Gausman, Feather, Hall (Wally), Eppley, Cooch Miller. GIRLS’ SPORTS WE PLAY FOR L ff to Right—Mick, Gorham, Baldwin, Leedy, Bachelor. GRILS' SPORTS To the girls of Worthington High School, one of the many at- tractions of our high school program is the number of different sports in which they may participate. At the opening of school the girls start practicing archery, field hockey, and bounceball. With Christmas time comes basketball, which is the girls' favor- ite sport. One of the big events of this season is the annual Yale- Harvard game. The two teams are composed of the top basketball players of W. H. S. and there is a real rivalry between the two teams. Another big occasion is the class tournament. Each class has a team, and champion is named after the last exciting game of the tour- nament. First Row—McOuilkin, Baldwin, McCord, Jacobs, Johnston. Second Row—Post, Markey, Bachelor, Hughes, Hughes, Post, Baldwin, McOuilkin, Bachelor, Bartley. Baseball and tennis are on the spring sports program. The girls have a tennis team which meets other schools in this vicinity. We hope the girls' sports program will be as worthwhile and enjoyable in the future as it has been this year. 59 Wright, Buell, Amick, Huber, Gooby. GOLF - CROSS COUNTRY club it and run Coach Heischman's 1949 Cardinal golf team, composed of seniors Don Leyland and Norm Monska and juniors Bill Amick and Bob Gooby, racked up a 10-2 record in greater Columbus B league play and then caught fire in the district tournament. Playing in a downpour on the University Gray course, the Cards finished third behind two class A schools with a 320 total, the lowest 18-hole score ever recorded by Worthington in the district. Bill Am:ck s 76 that day was the team’s best individual score for the season and gave him a tie for third. Amick and Gooby are back this year, and the list of promising talent out for the squad includes Bob Wright, Don Feather, Ronald Poling, Cob Buell and Jim Huber. With this lineup, the 1950 season looks bright for the Cardinal linksmen. The 1949 cross-country season proved to be the most successful ever enjoyed by this school. Led by Capt. Jack Herritt, holder of the new school record of 10:53 which he set in an early meet, the team won a berth in the state meet and finished thirteenth in a strong field of class A schools. Eight registered to Coach Eisenhart, four of whom earned letters. They were as follows; Marlen Steward; Jerry Williams who placed seventeenth in the district; Kenny Russell, seventh in the district, and Jack Herritt, who placed fourth in the district and twenty-first in the state. Crow, Williams, Russell, Herritt, Moody, Stewart, Henderson, Demos. Eisenhart. INTRAMURAL ORGANIZED MAYHEM Competition was keen among the forty-five boys in the intra- mural league during the 1949-1950 season. The league, under the supervision of Coach Eisenhart, played two rounds. One round was a round-robin affair and the second took the form of a double elimination tournament. Round one saw the underdog Panthers down the Fifty Globetrotters only to have them come back to win in a playoff with the Panthers ana a tall Fighting Fire outfit. But the highlight of this round was the Globetrotters' 53-2 triumph over the Little Cogs. The second round went much like the first one with the Panthers beating the Globetrotters and then losing to them 16-14 and 13-7 in the finals. This round featured the only overtime game when the Globetrotters sneaked by the much-strenghtened Little Cogs. In the All-Star game, played before the Hilliards game in the elementary gym, the Globetrotters were out-classed but not outfought 17-11. Top individual scorer of both rounds was Dick Evans of the Fighting Fire quintet. Standing—Cuddy, Anderson, Voll- rath, Stewart. Sitting—Fields, Todd, Butler, Am- ick, Trippett. Standing—Sells, Condit, Mackay, Keethler, Russell. Sitting — West, Evans, Corrigan, Posey. ACTION AFIELD FIRST WE BRUISE ’EM, THEN WE BEAT ’EM, THEN WE EAT ’EM, RAH! RAH! RAH! HOME Norma Bachelor The Highlight of the Fall On October 21, 1949, our beautiful homecoming queen, Norma Bachelor was presented to the football fans at the Mifflin-Worthing- ton game. Her lovely court was composed of Suzanne Markey, senior attendant; Mary Sue Volpe, junior attendant; Betty Ann Price, soph- omore attendant; and Linda McCord, freshman attendant. The queen and her court arrived in three convertibles, and the girls were escorted onto the field by members of the Hi-Y Club. Quen Norma was crowned by Andrew Spieker, president of the Hi-Y. After the game the annual homecoming dance was held in the elementary gymnasium where Ken Myers' Orchestra furnished the music. 66 COMING NORMA’S REIGN IN THE RAIN CROWNING THE KISS LINDA BETTY ANN THE COURT QUEEN NORMA SUZANNE FUN . . .

H. S. chose one of the prettiest queens and courts we have ever had. At the conclusion of the annual parade of which the queen and her court were the high-light, Dolores Post, the attractive queen, was crowned by Mayor Wing as Halloween Queen of the Class of '50. Her attendants were Ritchie Baldwin, senior; Betty Jo Tharp, junior; and Barbara Hamilton, sophomore. Adding additional pulchritude to the royal float were five sen- ior ladies-in-waiting. These were Beverly Witchey, Judy Hutchinson, Marcie Jacobs, Monica Johnston, and Jean McQuilkin. Each year at Halloween this celebration takes place under the able sponsorship of the Worthington Business Men's Association. This last day of October is a night of hilarity for everyone, including the spooks. WILL We the senior class of Worthington High School, being of fairly sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament.

PROPHECY Come one, come all to the greatest fair in the State! Everybody get tickets now to the super-colossal 1970 Franklin County Fair! As we crawl under the fence, the familiar strains of the barker, Les Moench, rings in our ears. Just think, another year, another fair, and it seems like only yesterday that we were plugging away over our school work at dear ole Worthington Hi. Having completed our mission of sneaking past Ernest Parker, Taladay's successor, and the ticket taker, Gene Daum, who secretly resells the tickets, we skirt the parking lot where we notice Clint Griggs still at his old pastime - in charge of parking. Strolling east to the stock barns, we hear the sweet vibrations of Don Feather's voice; Don has just received the blue ribbon for his rendition of the Linworth hog-call. Officiating at the cattle judging, the distinguished Judge H. Lawrence Wolf announces Marion Gable and her prize bull to be the winner. As we turn left, much to our surprise we find that Fred Scior has changed his profession from pharmacy to farmacy, and in the cow business at that. While we are ducking swishing tails, we hear the moanful cries of Barbara Cadwell, Miss Dairy-Maid of 1970, peal through the rafters as she says, Dr. Cox (Howard is the official fair vet), can't anything be done to save my poor pet pig, Magnolia? Aroused by a terrific commotion, we hurriedly move to the poultry show to find that it is only Bev Witchey trying to outdo her pet hen. In the same building, Andrew Spieker is seen eyeing all the slick chicks. He is still one of the ten most eligible bachelors of Worthington. On our way to the midway we notice Dwight Hurd offering free rides to any girl brave enough to go with him on the ferris wheel. Wishing him our good luck, we move past a beanie stand where Doris Chesser is practicing her talents by skillfully sewing the names of all six Marcie Jacobs' children on one hat. Still hoping to crash the big leagues, Bob Gooby is reluctantly spending his pennies on foul shots at the practice baskets nearby. Stepping into one of the side show tents we see the fat man, who, much to our surprise, turns out to be none other Bob Wright, tipping the scales at 98 2 pounds. Across from him is the fat lady, Dolores Mattison, who gained this title by eating Paul Davison's famous new scientific product Hippos. In another corner the Bearded Lady, Suzanne Markey, sits painstakingly setting her shining black beard. Announcing the next act in the side show is Jack Epley, who has amassed his fortune in a poker game with Diamond Jim Trippett, who has made his million selling open-topped model A's in South Africa. Coming out the midway again, we look up just in time to see Dave Cahoon making a spectacular parachute jump from an airplane piloted by none other than Fred Norton, World's Daredevil Champion. We are attracted to the nearest stand, which is a baseball concession, where we find the pro baseball stars Pete Fields and Harry Todd really cleaning up at the racket of knocking over milk bottles. Moving on down the midway, reminiscing with Pete and Harry about our high school days, we mention Andy Anderson, only to find that he is right here at the fair designing new creations in cattle blankets. Having bidden adieu to our old classmates, we stop for a hamburger at Corinne Muncie's new stand; Corinne's slogan is Munch at Muncie's. At the next stand a pie-eating contest is well under way with Ernestine Parker ahead of Ed Vollrath, last year’s champion. We aren't surprised to find Virginia Hutchison the famous chef behind all these pies. Leaving the pie eaters to their work, our next stop, is the ever-thrilling horse races. As usual the orchestra is starting things off with a bang and a new version of the Star Spangled Banner. Today as a special attraction the two top stars of the Metropolitan Opera, Bob Buell and Joan Daumier, are blending perfectly in a duet. At the conclusion of the number the next sound is that of a Cadillac convertible roaring down the track, carrying the starting gate. Behind the wheel is Bob French, who has carried over his profession of testing cars from high school. The famous sports announ- cer, Bill Amick, is next heard excitedly saying, This is really a race, ladies and gentle- men. The two leading horses are neck and neck. Bachelor's Beauty,' famed top money horse from Norma Bachelor's stable, is being ably ridden by Hopalong Herritt, who 75 still has that old racing blood in his veins. The other horse moving up is Longshore's Longshot, whose trainer Dick Longshore has placed Longshot's' name on everyone's lips. They re coming in the backstretch and the winner is Beetlebomb!! So much for the races and our minds and feet now turn toward the midway. We hear a bell and shift our glances to see Poor Richard'1 Stokes winning another cigar as he skillfully lifts the hammer for another blow. The next consession is a weight guessing stand where the famed guesser is our old high school math whiz, Carl (Jox. On down the midway we see a large sign an- nouncing the fire-eating act of Beverly Horch. Her career name, Torchy Horch, has won her fame throughout the world. I he next stand finds Phyllis Thompson blowing up balloons, only to have them collapsed by that sharpshooter Wally Hall. His teddy bear collection has grown so big that Phyllis is now trying to win the bears back from him. Oyer the loud speaker is heard, Will Pop Evans please claim his sawed-off off- spring in the office immediately? Upon recognizing the name Evans, we decide to go over to the office to see if any more of our friends are there. Behind the loudspeaker making the pleas is Martha Hickman, at her old familiar task. Sitting next to her typing the bulletins is Marjorie Hughes, who finally has reached her ambition of 200 words a minute. Still busily rushing around is John Condit, manager of the colossal 1970 Fair. Adjoining the office is the first-aid station where Dolores Post is ably treating all cuts and bruises. Giving artificial respiration to Sue Mick, who has almost drowned while participating in the tishing derby, is capable Joanne McPherson, who gracefully cracks every rib. Our stomachs tells us that it is dinner time; so we go into the nearest church tent where Jean McQuilkin is skillfully exercising her managerial talents as hostess. Suddenly there is an unearthly crash; and as we peer from under the table cloth, we notice Sue Trotter sheepishly picking up the remains of what looked like a good dinner. Scurrying in with a bucket and mop is Vice-President in charge of Dishwashing, Tom Carskadon. His many years of experience during high school secured him this position. For enter- tainment and easy digestion, Carol Wright serenades during the dinner hour on the console, which happens to be a dilapidated upright piano. Having secured our check, we painfully dig deep to present the check to Marjorie Carrico. Ever since the Brinks job her favorite pastime has been collecting money. Having a little time before the horse show, we proceed to the display tent. In one corner the noteworthy art critic Mary Lou Leach is presenting Judy Hutchinson with a tin trophy for her interpretation of the Esquire Girl. On the opposite side is Jackie Marshall who can't stop admiring her newly-won ribbon for needlepoint. Hearing the excited crowd at the horse show we enter the grandstand just as an ovation goes up for the distinguished mayor of the community, the Honorable Richard McKibben. We notice Monica Johnston down in the ring on her high-stepping steed, unique as the only peroxided horse in the world. The class following is a jumping class in which Ritchie Baldwin has just been announced the winner for jumping higher than her horse. Presenting her with the trophy is socialite Sally McCord, who makes her living by modeling for Coal of Flint. The familiar strains of the square dance music leads us from the horse show. The caller turns out to be Mike Freeman, who has finally learned the words and the tune. Swinging around in a dizzy whirl, Jim Huber is literally lifting Pat Bartley off her feet. Jim is covering the fair for the Short Circuit, while Pat spends her time teaching the schottische. In the band we see Laura Thompson playing the intricate music for the square dances while Chuck Thomas blends in with tne trumpet. He has recently been discharged from a famous name band. Between the square dances, Mary Helen Johnson entertains the weary dancers with an operatic selection. As we stumble to our car, the familiar strains of Hail, hail, the gang's all here, reminds us of the great time we've had today reminiscing with the class of 1950. BEST OF LUCK! ! I Mitize Timmons Jean Ann Scatterday Mary Ann Griffith Leon McCulloh Jim Tarbutton 76 ABOUT THE SENIORS BILL AMICK is an amiable, easy-going fellow who always seems to manage a smile for everyone. He was a member of the Wigon Society, Hi-Y, and Honor Society, and was the editor of the Short Circuit. His tavorite sport is golf, which he has participated in for three years; acting is another of his interests and he proved his ability in this field in our senior class play. This next boy is one we will really miss. ANDY ANDERSON is always full of fun and has a fine per- sonality. He is a member of the boys' ensemble where he exercises his vocal talents and he has also participated in Hi-Y. We won't forget Andy as Oogie in the junior class play, A Date with Judy, and we will remember him as a football play- er and a fine track man in the sports field. This outstanding girl, NORMA BACHELOR, was our 1950 homecoming queen. With her beaming personality, she has gained many friends at W. H. S. and elsewhere. Besides beauty, Norma holds a fine record in the field of sports (being our star basket- ball player) and takes an interest in both G.A.A. and Y-Teens. She is also one of our faithful reporters for the Short Circuit and the Oracle. Norma is one of the few who has served the twelve-year term. RITCHIE BALDWIN came to us four years ago and since that time has earned for herself a place in the school of which she can well be proud. Her jovial nature has won her many friends. Ritchie is another of our girl basketball stars. She served as a member of the girls' ensemble during her junior and senior years and added beauty to our Halloween court as senior attendant. Y-Teens and G.A.A. of which she was president, have also kept Ritchie quite busy. We now present PAT BARTLEY, smiling and friendly to everyone and a scholar, being a member of the Franklin County Honor Society. Pat always lends a helping hand and takes an interest in almost everything (especially girls' basketball, in which she is a star player). Socially she is active in the Y-Teens and G.A.A. She also seems interested in nature and is a member of the Wigon Society. This next boy will be especially remembered for his splendid athletic ability. You've probably already guessed that is it BOB BUELL. Bob is an- other twelve-year veteran and has won many friends during that time. We all know that Bob (all 6 3 of him) will qe along in the world as well as he has at W. H. S. Bob was an active member of the golf, football, baseball, and basketball teams. BARBARA CADWELL has always had the true spirit of Worthington and is willinq to help in all school affairs. Having a smile and kind word for everyone, she will always have many friends. An en- thusiastic worker for the Short Circuit and Oracle staffs, Barbara also adds to her activities beinq a member of the Y-Teens. She was our able student director of the Variety Show. One who qualifies as a capable leader in schol- astics as well as in extra-curricular activities is DAVE CAHOON. Dave has made quite a record in high school, being a member of the Honor Society, Hi-Y, band and orchestra, and Mnemosynean Society. On the athletic field, he plays a fine game of football. He also proved to be quite an actor as Mr. Rals- ton in the senior class play Nothing but the Truth. This cute Texas gal brought all her southern charm to the portals of W. H. S. in her freshman year. MARGIE CARRICO displays her charm in her vivacious manner and sweet smile. She is a con- scientious worker for the Short Corcuit and Oracle. Margie has been a member of the F.H.A. and this year joined in the singing with the Girls' Glee Club. This jovial fellow is known as TOM CARSKA- DON. Always full of wit and jokes, Tom has won the admiration of both sexes. He is one of those fine boys from Homedale. Although he worked dur- ing his senior year, Tom still found time to play a fine game of football. In his junior year, he was quite a track man. Tom Ape also has served as a member of the Hi-Y, in which he held an office and has governed his classes as an officer also. Having gone to W. H. S. for twelve years, DORIS CHESSER has won admiration from both old and new students alike. She always has a beaming smile for everyone and her pleasant and kind ways have made her a friend to everyone. She is another of our hard workers for the Short Circuit and Oracle. During her senior year, Doris joined the Wigon So- ciety, and her additional activities included G.A.A., Y-Teens, and F.H.A. for which she was reporter. JOHN CONDIT, who will always be remem- bered for his determination and hard work in both studies and outside activities, has been rewarded with a place in the Honor Society. Photography is John’s main hobby as many of the pictures in the '50 Cardinal will prove. John is a member of the Wigon Society, in which he has a sincere and en- thusiastic interest. Although of quiet nature and modest manner, CARL COX has gained many friends here at W. H. S. Since he joined the Worthington clan during his junior year, Carl didn't enter into too many ac- tivities but he didn't let any obstacle stop him from starring in the speech class play as Time and had the audience rolling in the aisles. You can't help but be successful in the years to come, Carl, with the cooperative attitude and friendliness you have show- ed at W. H. S. We hope that you'll always treasure the memories of fun and lauqhter from Worthington. HOWARD COX is a bov of quiet nature and qreat modesty, but his determination and hard work have kept his grades well above the average and mark him not only as a friend but as a leader. By these qualities, Howard has gained a deserving seat in the Franklin County Honor Society. He has had 77 ABOUT THE SENIORS (cont’d.) many honors bestowed upon him as a result of his high scores in the annual scholarship tests. This sharp young man is the one and only JEAN DOODIE DAUM. He possesses a fine personality, easy-going manner and a happy disposition. Jean's neatness has made him an outstanding member of the class. For the speech class plays, Jean played the part of the property man and kept the audience in stitches. In sports, he participated in football, track and boys' intramural basketball during his sophomore and junior years. JOAN DAUMLER will be remembered for many things. Her lovely voice has given her a seat in the Girls' Glee Club and she has been chosen to go to the County Music Festival for the past two years. She also participated in the operetta and Variety Show. Joan was the memorable Ethel in the senior class play. Her leadership ability is confirmed by the fact that she is president of the F.H.A. and her character has gained for Joan a seat in the Honor Society. She is also a member of the Y-Teens and serves as secretary for her homeroom. Having come to dear old Worthington from St. Paul, Minnesota, in his senior year, PAUL DAV- ISON was unable to participate in many activities; but he made many friends the minute he stepped through the portals of W. H. S., which will probably mean more to him than the activities. Paul was or- iginally from Homedale but moved before the tran- sfer to Worthington in the freshman year. Paul served as basketball manager and did a very capa- ble job. Having a very high scholastic rating, Paul has received many honors in his scholarship tests. This happy fellow is JACK EPLEY. I don't be- lieve we've ever seen Jack without a smile and a nice word for everyone. He has exuberant pep and possesses a fine personality. It is no wonder that Jack has as many friends as he does, with his friend- ly manner and jovial nature. Jack has already bequn to think about his future as he has been working throuqhout his senior year. DICK EVANS, better known as Punjab, (and we can't figure out why) is that tall, dark, and hand- some quy for the class of '50. He is famous for his beautiful eyes and has already won a contest with them (at W. H. S., of course). Dick is very friendly and is well liked by both the girls and guys. He plays a fast game of basketball, serving on the in- tramural team. Dick came to Worthington in his junior year from Columbus Academy. From Linworth comes DON FEATHER. Don is seldom seen without a smile which makes him well- liked by all. He has gained respect by his willing- ness to help at all times. Don has been very busy as a member of the football and baseball teams, on both of which he has made a fine record. Because he wished to help the other fellow, Don joined the Hi-Y and became a very interested member. Don already has his future planned and we wish him the best of luck. LAWRENCE PETE FIELDS is one of those guys whom everyone likes. He hasn't an enemy in the world and has been a very popular student. Pete has been very active in both sports and school ac- tivities. He has served as a member of the football team, on which he starred as a fullback, as a speedy member of the basketball team and as an outstand- ing member of the baseball team, of which he was captain. His fine tenor voice had gained him a place in both the Boys' Ensemble and Boys' Quartet. Pete also served on the Student Council. Whenever you see a crowd of females surround- inq someone, you will almost always find MIKE FREEMAN in the center. Mike came to Worthing- ton four years ago from Linworth and during that time has made many friends. It is no wonder though, considering his determination and fine sense of humor. His activities include being 1949 football captain, vice-president of the senior class, and a member of the Boys' Ensemble. It was a gain for W. H. S. when BOB FRENCH came to Worthington from Hilliards. Although he was a newcomer during his senior year, it did not take Bob long to gain many friends, and no wonder, with his jovial manner and friendly smile. Bob's won- derful school spirit and willingness to help will al- ways be remembered by all. We will also remember his sharp blue Olds convertible. MARION GABLE will be remembered for her generous amount of wit and her ability in writing. For her talented writings and conscientious work, she was awarded the editorship of the Oracle. As a member of the Y-Teens, she has helped to mako 1950 a successful year. Also on her successful list, Marion made both the senior class plays memorable events with her clever, witty roles. This speedy guy is none other than BOB GOO- BY. Everyone knows Bob as a friendly person, with a kind word and the ability to get along with every- one. Bob has many activities to keep him busy. He lists as his sports activities, in both of which he has proved himself a star, basketball and football, in which he has done an excellent job, playing his first year as a senior. His fine voice has won for Bob a position in the Boys' Ensemble and a solo part in the Variety Show. He was also a member of the golf team. Good humor, easy-going manner and fine per- sonality these phrases describe CLINT GRIGGS. He will also be remembered as our capable senior class president, as an enthusiastic member of Hi-Y and Mnemosynean Society. Even a slight injury did not keep Clint from starring on the football team and also on the basketball team. With his leadership and cooperative attitude, Clint will make as many friends wherever he goes as he has at W. H. S. 78 ABOUT THE SENIORS (cont’d.) WALLY HALL is one we're all going to miss. His jovial nature and good humor have made him popular with everyone. Wally was basketball man- ager during his senior year and did a fine job of it. For the past two years, he has been one of our star baseball players and has already won his letter. Next we give you our cross-country captain. You have probably guessed that it is JACK HER- RITT. They say that red hair reveals temper, but Jack is an exception. He has won many friends with his bright personality, pep, and quick wit. In all the track meets, you see this speedy fellow running through the finish line, usually with honors. Jack proved himself an actor by appearing in the speech class plays. MARTHA HICKMAN'S departure will be a loss to W. H. S. and a gain to her distination. Martha was noted for her success in getting all work done. With her congenial manner and determination, she is bound to better the future. Martha is a very active and conscientious member of the Y-Teens and an ardent worker for both the Oracle and Short Circuit. Her character and leadership have also won for her a place in the Honor Society. BEVERLY HORCH is a girl whose lovely voice and ease of manner are admired by all. Bev's won- derful personality and helpfulness have made her list of friends a long one. Her activities, which are many, include Y-Teens, Mnemosynean Society, a role in the junior class play, and the portrayal of Mrs. Ralston in the senior class play. Beverly has always had the determination to finisn all work. JIM HUBER will always be remembered for his cooperative spirit and modest manner. Jim never has a bad word for anyone and is always ready to help when help is needed. He is seldom seen witnout his well-known smile. Jim is a conscientious worker and does a fine job of whatever he attempts. He is a golf man and has proved himself a valuable mem- ber of the team. He also devotes quite a bit of time to the Hi-Y and to his hobbies. Her cheerful attitude and sunny disposition are only a few of the remarkable qualities of MARJORIE HUGHES. Margie's leadership, character, and scholarship have won her a place in the Honor So- ciety. On the sports floor, she plays a wonderful game of basketball and in social activities, she serves on the Y-Teen cabinet, as secretary of the senior class and as a member of both G.A.A. and F.H.A. If you happened to see a black car” vintage 1924 throughout the year, you probably noticed d HURD at the driver's seat or behind pushing. Dwight is one of the fellas from Homedale and he has really added a great deal to the class of '50 with his generous amount of wit. His fine personality and neatness have made him one of the outstanding boys in the class. We’ll always remember Dwight in his role of Bob in the senior class play. Also he has been kept busy as a member of the Hi-Y, Mnem- osynean Society, and football team. He also served as senior class treasurer. JUDY HUTCHINSON'S quiet manner and charm have won her many friends. Whenever a task involving art is to be done, Judy always lends a helping hand and comes through with a beautiful product. Being a cheerleader her sophomore and junior years, Judy also proved that she possesses pep and cheerfulness. She was a member of the Honor Society and the Girls' Ensemble, an able secretary for the Y-Teens, and a memorable Judy in the junior class play, A Date with Judy. Honor Society, Treasurer of Y-Teens, Wigon Society, Short Circuit, Annual Staff You've pro- bably guessed that this list means VIRGINIA HUTCHISON. Virginia is a very hard worker and we feel that her ability and determination will bring her a brilliant future. She was another of Mr. Heisch- man's able office assistants and if it hadn't been for Virginia, we never would have had those basketball programs. MARCIE JACOBS joined us in the freshman year and immediately won many friends with her vibrant personality. She was one of our peppy cheer- leaders during her sophomore and junior years. Being interested in most school affairs, she found Y-Teens and Short Circuit among her most enjoy- able. This was her first year as a member of the G.A.A. She was a member of the office staff and was honored by being homecoming attendant in her freshman year. MARY HELEN JOHNSON'S friendly ways and easy-going manner have won her many friends at W. H. S. She is always ready with a smile and a good word for everyone. She takes a sincere interest in Y-Teens and in Short Circuit activities. She has also been one of Mr. Heischman's faithful office assistants this year. MONICA JOHNSTON has been with us for four years now and is a popular person in the high school. Her activities are as plentiful and varied as is her personality. She participates in Y-Teens, Short Circuit, and G.A.A. Monica was given the honor of serving as homecoming attendant in her soph- omore year. Having achieved her sixteen units of credit for graduation at the end of her junior year, JO ANN KALLENBAUGH has not been with us during our senior year but instead has given her talents of character and scholarship to Ohio State. We all missed Jo Ann this year but we know she quickly won many friends at O. S. U. as she did here. Hav- ing a pleasant personality and a willing attitude, Jo Ann wes very well liked by all. During her three years at W. H. S., she was an active member of Y-Teens, Girls' Ensemble, and F.H.A. MARY LOU LEACH always managed to keep her grades up high in spite of her many extra-cur- 79 ABOUT THE SENIORS (cont’d.) ricular activities. She wrote for the Short Circuit and the Citizen Youth Page. She maintained mem- bership in the Y-Teens, Honor Society, and the Mne- mosynean Society. Mary Lou proved a very capable art editor on the annual this year. Last, but not least, she was student director of the senior class play. DICK LONGSHORE is a boy of great modesty and quiet nature. However, Dick is seldom seen with- out a smile and a cheerful expression. Dick found intramural basketball and Hi-Y high spots in his high school career. Dick's familiar face will be great- ly missed next year, but we are confident that he will fit in wherever he chooses to go. SUZANNE MARKEY has really turned out to be one of the sharpest seniors. Her striking beauty and friendly personality have also made her one of the most popular. Her activities have kept her very busy a few of the many included Girls' Ensemble, Y-Teens, G.A.A., Short Circuit, music shows, being Homecoming attendant, on the Halloween Court, and Vice President of the class in her junior year. Last, but not least, we will remember Sue as Gwen the feminine lead in the senior class play. This girl was probably Mr. Heischman's most capable office assistant. You could expect JACKIE MARSHALL to bring in your detention slips first period every morning. With her wonderful, friendly personality, Jackie made countless friends. She had the happy faculty of saying something nice or no- thing at all. Jackie belonged to the Y-Teens, F.H.A., and the Short Circuit Staff. DOLORES MATTISON, with a smile and good word for everybody, is another one of the few who have lasted out the twelve years here at Worthing- ton. She has always been willing to help in anything and her activities include Y-Teens, F.H.A., and Short Circuit, on the staff of which she has been very ac- tive. SALLY McCORD is one of the most familiar faces around the halls of W. H. S. because she has called it home for twelve years. She was always a success at anything she attempted. Her many in- terests included Honor Society, G.A.A., Y-Teens, Short Circuit, and Girls' Ensemble. Sally sang a solo part in the Variety Show. She was class secre- tary in her sophomore year. We also owe a lot to Sally because of her excellent work on this year's annual. It was eight long years ago that DICK Mc- KIBBEN first stepped on the sacred soil of Worthing- ton. He has a capacity for making friends, which is the envy of almost every student. During his stay at W. H. S., Dick was very active in all music ac- tivities. He was a member of the Boys' Ensemble, by merit of his fine voice. He was always a willing worker on any stage crew and as his crowning glory he was the very capable business manager for this year's Cardinal. This dynamic little redhead has only been ar- ound our halls for two years now. However, during this short time, JOANNE McPHERSON has com- pensated for her small size by her fine quality of get-up-and-go. She would tackle anything regardless of difficulty. She was program chairman of Y-Teens this year and did a capable job in that capacity. She also was a member of the G.A.A. and a faithful reporter for both the Oracle and Short Circuit. Truly the first lady of the class of '50 This describes JEAN McQUILKIN. Her queenly graces and sincere personality were two reasons that caused everyone to like her and have confidence in her. Jean was never known to betray anyone's confidence or faith. She was a member of the Honor Society, in which she was treasurer. She was also a member of the Y-Teens, G.A.A., and participated in both the junior and senior class plays. She was keenly in- terested in sports, especially basketball and tennis. Undoubtedly the most important of Jean's accom- plishments was the editing of this year's annual. Jean really had a hard job but her perserverance won out in the end. In her five years at Worthington, SUE MICK has really made a place for herself. She was always willing to take any responsibility and you could be sure that she would always do her job well. Her fine sincere personality entitled Sue to be known as a friend to many people. Her activities were many, probably the most important of which were the Y- Teens and G.A.A. As service chairman of Y-Teens, Sue organized and carried out many worthwhile projects. LESTER MOENCH in his own quiet manner, has made many friends and participated in may activities here at W. H. S. His leadership has en- titled him to hold the two cabinet positions of vice president and secretary of the Hi-Y. He was vice president of his sophomore class, president of his junior class, and a member of Honor Society and student council. His sports interest included track and football. Beautiful black hair, diminutive size, and sweet personality by this time you know that this means CORINNE MUNCIE. Every inch of this tiny person is packed with vim and vigor. Many of us will re- member her for always saying, Let's don't have shorthand today. Corinne was president of F.H.A. She also worked as a typist for the Oracle and Short Circuit. FRED NORTON came to us two short years ago. Since that time, he has earned for himself a place in the memory of every member in the school. His hard work and determination have kept his grades well above average. His sunny disposition and you-all drawl are a touch of light around the school. Fred made one of the greatest contributions to our annual this year by his fine work in selling advertising. The time has finally come for us to say good- 80 ABOUT THE SENIORS (cont’d.) bye to ERNIE PARKER. Ernie, ever since that first day, four years ago, when she came to Worth- ington, has been making friends and influencing people. This little bundle of bubbling personality took part in quite a few school activities. She was especially interested in the F.H.A., Y-Teens, and Short Circuit. Here we have ERNEST PARKER easy-going, carefree and always a gentleman. His friendly and quiet manner won him many friends during his years at Worthington. Ernest's familiar face will be greatly missed next year, but we are confident he will fit in whereever he elects to go. DOLORES POST's quality of leadership and her friendly personality will always enable her to get along in life. She was president of the Y-Teens and very active in S.A.A. Her interests also include Girls Ensemble and Honor Society. She portrayed Mitzie in the junior class play and was Halloween queen. From Homedale, we give you FRED SCIOR. Although of slight stature, Fred made a deep im- pression on all of us by his determination. He al- ways had a new joke (if you could figure it out). His activities were many. They included Mnemosynean Society, Science Club, Oracle, and a part in the junior class play. You have before you one of the important members of the graduating class, none other than ANDREW SPIEKER. Few have made such a memo- rable impression on others as Andrew has. Andrew is a boy of many talents, taking a lively interest in everything, whether he is in the classroom, behind a microphone or on the speaker's platform. He was sports writer for the papers, both local and city. He also wrote for the Short Circuit, was the photo- graphy editor of the annual, a member of the Honor Society, and president of the Hi-Y. DICK STOKES joined us this year from Central and immediately gained a reputation as the class comedian. He was a very indispensable member of the band and orchestra and thrilled everyone with his trumpet renditions, especially Stardust. Dick's smiling blond presence always made him welcome anywhere. This easy-going lad first entered the halls of Worthington two years ago. Ever since that first day, CHUCK THOMAS has been winning friends with his charm and jovial nature. He was a member of the Hi-Y and wrote occasionally for the Short Circuit. His sports interest was largely in baseball. We now present e genuine Worthington pro- duct, a girl who has passed through the portals of W. H. S. for twelve years. LAURA MAE THOMP- SON won many friends with her flashing smile and trustworthy character. Laura worked on the Short Circuit and Oracle staff. We now place before you PHYLLIS THOMP- SON. Few people who enter school for the senior year only leave such a fine impression. Phyllis came this year from North and developed many interests and quickly made many friends. Her interest in school affairs included Y-Teens and G.A.A. HARRY TODD is another one of those amiable easy-going lads. With Harry's departure W. H. S. will really lose an all-around good guy. Even when the going seemed to be the roughest, Harry could see the bright side of picture. Harry found time to participate in a few sports. He found a particular liking for intramural basketball and baseball. Here we have the one and only JIM TOAD TRIPPETT. He is seldom seen without a friendly smile clinging to his lips and his jovial nature is always in evidence. How does he get along with people? You guessed it! Perfectly. We don't believe he has an enemy in the world. Jim was a member of Hi-Y and also participated in football and track, being cap- tain of the latter in his senior year. SUE TROTTER came to Worthington from Lin- worth in the ninth grade. Her warm personality and friendly smile have made her many lasting friends. Sue belonged to the F.H.A. and worked on the Short Circuit staff. Many will remember Sue as the first 1950 Senior to become enqaged. ED VOLLRATH, another :aduate of Home- dale, has called W. H. S. home for three years. During this time, 'Pug' made many friends with his winning personality. He was very interested in sports, of which football, track and baseball were his favorites. He was a member of the student coun- cil in his junior year and a member of the annual staff. BEVERLY WITCHEY joined us this year from Delaware and soon gained many friends with her jolly personality and 'different' laugh. She fit in wonderfully and was chosen as a peppy cheerleader. Bev also enjoys Y-Teens and is very active in G.A.A. and girls' basketball. We now say farewell to LARRY WOLF. Larry came to us three years ago from Homedale and ever since the first day that he walked into the halls he has made friends with his wonderful personality and sense of humor. If Larry was feeling real well he might even treat you to one of his feats of magic. In the three years that CAROL WRIGHT has been at W. H. S. she has made many friends with her sparkling presence. She compensated for her small size with her bubbling personality. Carol be- longed to the F.H.A. and was a member of the Short Circuit staff. BOB WRIGHT joined us from Linworth four years ago. He has won many, many friends. He is a member of the Hi-Y and shines on his longshots on the varsity basketball team. Many will remember h:m as the dry, witty Van Dusan in the senior class play, Nothing but the Truth. 81 an AMERICAN TRADITION With each year of constant progress and faithful adherence to the traditions of Originality and Distinction”, Pontiac remains the Master Engravers to America’s Schools.
