I he I Naming of (Uorthington TU— Iw i --riiTi.i w Above is the Manuscript which provided for the naming of Worthington. A typed copy of the original is prepared below the original for time has dimmed the prepared copy of our forefathers. The frame is now hanging in the corridor of the elementary school building on the first floor. The original was in the form of letter from James Kilbourn who was then a Colonel in the military forces. The letter states that the vil- lage will be named for governor (then Colonel) Worthington. The name was put into effect on the twenty-sixth day of December in eighteen hundred and three. The photostat which now hangs in Worthington is a version of the original which is in the Ohio State Archeological and Historical Museum Library. The History of Worthington This year Worthington is one hundred and fifty years old. We are going to take you on a tour of Worthington so that you may see some of the points of interest and learn its historical background. Let’s meet in front of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Wright’s house at 28 Granville Road. There you see a rock which is said to mark the center-of the Scioto Land Company’s purchase. A group of people in Connecticut headed by the Reverend James Kilbourne formed the Scioto Company in 1802. They made all the plans for a settlement in Ohio before leaving Connecticut. The division of land was made as follows from the Abstract of Articles of Agreement of the Company. THE SCIOTO COMPANY Article IV In the center of the tract or as near it as is practicable and at the crossroads shall be laid out a square town plot containing 160 acres which shall be divided into 160 lots, four of which lots and those lying upon the four central corners shall be given out as a public square to remain for a green or Parade. Also there shall be one of these town lots and one farm lot for the use and benefit of a Protestant Episcopal Society which lots thall contain at least 100 acres. And from the remaining lands on the three roads shall be laid out as many lots of 100 acres each including one town lot and a proportion of public lands, roads and waters, as there shall be actual settlers in the most eligible situation for home lot forms, and each settler who shall be entitled to one of said lots where these have been surveyed out as above and the farms and town lots numbered in due order, the shall be set up as lots to be bid for, and the proprietor who bids most shall have the first choice both in the town plot and the farm plots. The remaining land is to be divided to each man in proportion to his right in the remaining lands after the first set of farms are laid out. Article V Each subscriber shall in his own person or by his son make actual settlements upon the lands so purchased within two years. Executed Dec. 14, 1802 Granby, Massachusetts 1807 ETVCNING STREET Maybe some of you would be interested in seeing the original plat of Worthington. Perhaps you will be able to pick out the lot on which you are now living. You will note that some of the street names have changed but that the basic plan was carried out to the letter. 8 7 9 1 o m 23 xS 26 Mo 3 9 NORTH 6 5 II U 22 ai 21 as - Jg— 37 4 I 56 57 76 75 4 2 55 5S 74 73 nftRBLE 12 70 7 I STRte 77 78 96 97 I W 79 So 9 5 98 III 81 82 83 2 11 4 i a. 8 107 1 29 130 1 44 143 145 146 160 159 STREET 43 44 5M 53 59 fe o 4 3 13 14 ao 19 29 30 36 35 3 35 45 5a 6 I A 4 6 5 S3 D STREET 69 8-4 93 99 loo HO 109 BERLIN MS II 6 26 105 1 31 132 143. 14 I 14 7 15 157 Soul rH co —I 37 m n 6 92. )OI I O s «4 91 I 61 107 Street STftCeT 2 1 15 16 18 17 3 1 30. 34 33 H 7 50 63 6? 67 48 49 6M 66 65 85 86 90 03 106 «7 S3 89 IOM 05 1 17 12 1 i b 1 33 1 3M 1 40 1 3R 1 49 150 15 6 1 5 S 119 lao I22j I2i 135 136 138 137 151 ')S2 154 1 53 JAMES K1LBOURNE THOMAS T.

The Reverend James Kilbourn, their leader, was a very remarkable man. He was a farmer, mechanic, mathematician, business man, soldier and clergyman. The Reverend Kilbourn and his father-in-law, John Fitch, drew the first map of Ohio. If you go down to the Ohio State museum you will see that John Fitch also made the first model steam engine. By this invention a boat was first propelled by steam July 26, 1786, thus making possible the steam boat. You might also like to know how Worthington got its name. It was named after Thomas Worthington who later became the governor of Ohio. It has often been in- correctly reported that the name was selected for a city in Connecticut or for an older district in England. However the name of Thomas Worthington provided the name also for the village. One of the first things the settlers did was to establish a school. This school was housed in a log cabin which was also used for church services and recreation. The teacher boarded in different homes in the community during the school year and this was considered as part of the pay for the teacher. Above is an artist's conception of the first school in Worthington. Little in the way of supplies was to be had and bad weather cut down considerably on attendance. 1810 During the following years, the school moved around from place to place. Then in 1856 the school hoard nought the lot behind the Episcopal Church and erected a build- ing which is now the town hall. We shall go across the street to see this historical building. The old town hall was used for many years as a school building. The building is used now by community groups for meetings and bears the plaque of the International Order of Odd Fellows high on its brick front. The crowded school conditions of recent years, once again returned the building to school use. It was used for elementary clas- ses through the 1951-52 school year. Since more space was needed, the school was moved in 18 il to the old Medical College building. 1811 OLD ELEMENTARY BUILDING—built in 1874 The old Medical College was torn down and a new grade school was built in 1874. August 29. 1879, a high school course was established. The attendance grew so great that a high school building was erected at the back of the school lot. In 1916 a new high school building was completed on the southeast corner of the school farm lot. This building is now the Junior H. 5. ELEMENTARY BUILDING-built in 1938 The old grammar school and high school were torn down. The present elementary building which you see across the street was completed in 1938. At the end of our tour you will see our beautiful new high school. Now let’s go over to the Kilbourne Memorial Library. This is the site of several historical schools. The first one was the Worthington Academy which was founded in February, 1808. This institu- tion was started by James Kilbourne so the children of the community could obtain a higher education than that which the public schools offered. The following subjects were offered: spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history, surveying, navigation, English grammar, Latin, Greek, rhetoric, logic, natural and moral philosophy and astronomy. When this building was erected, a bell was placed in the cupola. Today that same bell hangs in the belfry of the elementary building. The Academy was very successful and soon many people who were ready for higher learning had finished it. Therefore, in 1819 the Ohio State Leg- islature granted a new charter which established the Worthington College in place of the Academy. The charter stated that the purpose of this school was “for the education of youth and all liberal arts and sciences; in virtue, religion and morality: and conferring all the degrees and the literary honors granted in similar institutions.” Reverend Philander Chase was the College’s first principal. He was succeeded by his son in 1820. Attendance declined and in 1823 the College closed. In 1830. Salmon Portland. Dr. Wooster Beach and Col. James Kilbourne started the Worthington Medical College. This institution was against the practice of bleeding, excessive purging and the use of arsenic and mercury. Instead it urged the use of herbs. In 1839 an unfortunate incident occured which caused the doors of this college to be closed. Several graves at Potter’s Burying Field, which was located where the Union Depot is now standing, were robbed. The Medical College was blamed for this. 1813 When the grounds and building were searched, the body of a negro was found be- hind the Principal’s house. Soon after this incident, the General Assembly deprived the Worthington Medical College of its right to issue degrees. 1830 MEDICAL COLLEGE MEDICAL COLLEGE-1830 The building which we are going to enter is the James Kilbourne Memorial Library. It was given by Mrs. William G. Desher in 1927 as a memorial to her grandfather, Colonel James Kilbourne. The very first Worthington library was founded in December 1803 soon after the settlers came here. It was named after Dr. Jonas Stanberrv, who owned most of Sharon Township. When anyone was going back east from the settlement of Worthington, he carried lists of many things needed by the early settlers here. Things which he was to purchase and bring to Ohio. Among these were books: school books, history, philosophy, math- ematical books and those on religion, sermons and biography. These subjects pre- dominated. Newspapers, when they were to be had. passed from family to family. The Stanberry Library soon declined and the People’s Library wras opened. It was kept in the post office, and the current postmaster acted as librarian. The books in this library were paid for by solicited subscription. A large case of choice books was kept in the high school room of the old grade building. High school boys solicited funds for these books under the supervision of Charles E. Jefferson, Superintendent of schools at that time. 1814 JAMES KILBOURNE MEMORIAL LIBRARY- 1927 Now we will walk across the Village Green to the Griswold Inn. It was built in 1811 by Ezra Griswold. You can see the entrance where the stage coaches used to enter. It has been blocked up since. 1815 The bricks to build the inn were made on the site. The Griswold Inn was very popular in its day. Some of its famous visitors were Charles Dickens, Johnny Appleseed and President James Monroe. Many gay balls were held in the ballroom upstairs. The Griswold Inn is now used for apartments. Across the street is the Worthington Presbyterian Church. As you can see, the Church is classic New England architecture. The Presbyterian Church of Worthington was organized June 18, 1816 at the home of Peter Barker. The congregation held ser- vices in various places. They met in homes of mem- bers, in the upper room of the Academy building, and in an old blacksmith shop. Their first church building was completed April 17, 1830. It was a small building facing east on the village green. The church building was remodeled in 1842 by the addition of a modest spire among other improve- ment11. Dr. Thomas Woodrow, grandfather of Pres- ident Woodrow Wilson, was the pastor from 1849 to 1857. The cornerstone for the church you see now was laid May 2. 1926. The building was dedicated Jan- uary 2, 1927. The old church was not destroyed, hut moved back of the new church and turned cross- wise, the east end or old entrance, facing north. This old part is encased in bricks and is used for the Sunday School. The church has recently completed a new Sunday School unit which was added to the back. 1816 The present-day PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Our next stop is historic St. John’s Episcopal Church. It was organized February 6. 1804. It is the oldest Episcopal Church west of the Allegheny Mountains. Services were held in one of the first log cabins erected in Worthington until 1831 when the present building was completed. The first rec- tor of St. John’s was the Reverend James Kilbourne. In 1817 Philander Chase was called to be rector of St. John’s. The following year he was elected the first bishop of Ohio. The bricks from which the church is made were moulded and fired near here. The wrought iron nails were hand made. The original building has not been greatly altered. In 1917 the chancel was made deeper by an addition on the east. The choir stalls and pews are original. The pew doors have been removed. The pews were put together with wooden pegs. The walnut altar, which is now the creedance table, was replaced by the beautiful mar- ble one which stands in the chancel. The original bell, purchased in 1833, still hangs in the belfry. At one time the tower w'as deemed unsafe and re- placed by a spire. But so many members wished to see it restored that a fund was accumulated and the tower w as restored in 1930. The present parish house was built in 1926. The EPISCOPAL CHURCH pic- tured at the right is the oldest of its denomination west of the mountains. 181 In hack of the church is an old graveyard. Many Kilbournes are buried there, including Byron, founder of Milwaukee. The oldest tombstone is that of Abner Pinney. He was a drummer boy in the American Revolution and one of the first settlers of Worthington. Many of the other early settlers are buried there. The body of Bishop Chase’s wife lies under the chancel of St. John’s church. In 1824 Bishop Philander Chase started an Epis- copal Theological Seminary and College. Bishop Chase crossed the Atlantic to get money for the col- lege in Ohio. The annual convention of the church at Chillicothe decided that a seminary should be open- ed. The College’s charter was granted December 29, 1824. Bishop Chase became the first president. He located the college on his farm near Worthing- ton. In 1828 he moved the college to Gambier in Knox County. It is now known as Kenyon College. Our next Church is out Granville Road on Gris- wold Street. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is of New England Colonial architecture. The architect was Wellington G. Nicola, one of the mertibers of the church. At the request of Dr. George T. Harding Jr., on July 17, 1920. Pastor N. S. Ashton, who was then president of the Ohio Conference of Sev- enth-day Adventists, met with the company con- nected with the Columbus Rural Rest Home (now the Harding Sanitarium) in Worthington, Ohio to organize them into a church. There were twenty- seven charter members, including Dr. George T. Harding III and his mother, Mrs. Elsie Harding Lockwood, who are still members. The new SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, built in 1952. As we walk from the Seventh-day Adventist Church over to St. John’s A.M.E. Church maybe we can tell you some more of Worthington’s history. Worthington was incorp- orated as a village in 1835. Its first mayor was James Kilbourne. The early roads in Worthington were corduroy roads. These were gradually replaced, until now you see the paved roads of today. Many years ago an Inter-urban ran nine miles north of Columbus on the Columbus. Delaware and Marion Electric Railway. This line was very popular. It was only a thirty-five minute ride from Worthington to Gay and High Streets. Here is a picture of the old inter-urban. Here we are at the St. John’s A.M.E. Church. This church was founded in 1897. Prayer meetings were held at first, from house to house. The Town Hall served as the place for worship at one time. The congregation purchased a small lot and their present building was erected in 1914. The name of the church was changed to St. John’s A.M.E. Church. It was formerly known as Bethel A.M.E. Church. Let’s continue with the tour. 1819 The church you are now looking at is the Worthington Methodist Episcopal Church. This church was started by Reverend Martin in 1808. The Methodist Church, however, was not very active until 1811 or 1812 when a camp meeting was held by two ministers. At this meeting a number of people joined the church, and they elected as their leader, Joab Hoyt. Church services were held in many different places until a church was built in 1823 on the corner of Hartford and South Streets. In 1841 the Sunday School Society of this church was formed. William Pingree was elected its first President. The dues were twenty cents a year for adults and ten cents for children. Because of the increase of membership, a new church was built. This church, which was located on High Street, was dedicated in 1864. Since the membership continued to increase, the present Methodist Church was dedicated on February 7, 1926. It stands just north of the second Church. The present A.M.E. CHURCH, erected in 1914. 1820 THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Built in 1823 The building which you see lo the north of the church is the Masonic Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Connecticut issued a charter for this lodge on October 19, 1803. James Kilbourne was the first master, and for several years the lodge met in his home. In 1809 the lodge made an agreement with the Academy. They were to finish the upper story of the building for their own use. This became known as Masonic Hall, and it was used for several years. Then in May. 1820, they terminated their agreement. Under the leadership of John Snow, rules and regulations for erecting a new build- ing were made. The Masonic Temple was dedicated on December 27, 1827. The building you are now looking at is the same one. In 1839 the Worthington Female Seminary held its classes in the Masonic Temple. M iss Marsh started the school, and later became its Principal when the Methodist Church took it over. The Methodists had been wanting to locate a Female Seminary in Ohio; and through the efforts of Rev. Urish Heath and Rev. Jacob Young. Worth- ington was chosen for its location. A charter was granted to this school by the Ohio State Legislature on March 9, 1839. There are other churches also, in or near Worthington. Recently St. Michaels Cath- olic church was built just below the city limits. Just a little farther south we find both Lutheran and Baptist churches. Most of these are enjoying new structures or are planning new structures. 1821 Some land just south of the Methodist Church was bought, and a red brick building was erected. Let’s walk over and examine more closely this building which is still standing. It was completed in 1842. The aim of the institution was to develop “A sound mind in a sound body.” The Seminary was very prosperous for fifteen years. Then when Ohio Wesleyan opened its doors, the Seminary was forced to close its doors. In 1870 the Ohio Normal School took over this building. The school was started by Professor Ogden and Captain Mitchell. There were four main courses, English or Classical Normal, business. Model School and Kindergarten. The Normal Course was the same as our high school course is today. The Model School was subdivided into three departments: Primary, Inter- mediate and High School. Finally the enrollment of this school decreased and it was forced to close. 1822 THE OLD SNOW HOUSE—Erected in 1816 Now we are going to walk down to the Old Snow House which is still standing at 41 West New England Street. This house is known as the birthplace of Ohio Masonry. In it, over one hundred years ago, the first grand chapter of Royal Arch Masonry in Ohio was organized, on October 21, 1816. As we walk through the business district of Worthington, we are going to tell you about some of the industries started here. On the corner of New England and High Streets you see an Inn. This building began its history as an Inn back in 1852 when Theodore Fuller purchased this property. He built a tavern which he called Central Hotel. It changed hands several times. Likewise the name of the Inn was changed to Hotel Central and then back to Central Hotel. In 1926 the Van Loon family inherited the inn. They ran it for many years before selling it. This Inn has kept the atmosphere of the olden days which makes it so popular today. In 1811 James Kilboume formed a stock company which was called the Worthington Manufacturing Company. This company issued its own bank notes which were in general circulation. This company did many things such as weave woolen cloth, run a tannery, shoe shop, cabinet shop, hat shop and blacksmith shop. In 1819 or 1820 the concern had heavy losses and had to close. 1823 ) “ are now standing in front of the Corbin Undertaking establishment. This building, which was built by James kilbourne, has been used for many purposes. It was first used as a tavern. The Ohio State Journal, then called the Western Intel- ligence. had its beginning here in 1811. In 1813 Orange Johnson had a comb manufac- turing business in the building. Captain Pinney had a grocery in it for several years. Then in 1893 Mr. (rank P. Goble bought the building and started an undertaking establishment. Mr. Samuel E. Corbin in 1915 bought the building and business. Let s walk down Granville Road to the new school building. W hen wre get there, you will learn about Worthington’s newspapers. The first paper we are going to show you is an old Western Intelligence. This news- paper. which was started in 1811 by James Kilbourne, came out weekly. In the year 1818 the paper was moved to Columbus where it became known as the Ohio State Journal. You will notice that in the upper left column of each paper are the terms of the paper. Terms of paper: 1. To be published weekly; on the most suitable day or the arrival and departure of the mail ... on a good paper 18 by 12. 2. The price, S2 per annum if paid in advance; $2.50 if paid at the first six months ... or $3 if not paid until the end of the year . . . and in case of delays in payments beyond the time stipulated, legal interest will be charged during the time of such delays. 182-1 3. No subscriptions received for less than 12 months, unless paid in advance . . . and the names of subscribers erased at discretion for non-compliance with the con- ditions. In the November 13, 1811, issue is a typical ad. Five Dollars Reward. Strayed from the subscriber living in Liberty Township, Delaware County, in June last, a yoke of STEERS, four years old last spring. One of them is white except the head which is black; the other pied with white and red carried his head low. It is judged that they have gone towards Kentucky as they were raised there. Any person who will inform the subscriber where they are. by a letter directed to the postoffice in Worthington, shall receive the above reward and all reasonable charges in addition if delivered to DAVID BUELL October 28, 1811 The second newspaper in Worthington was started by Zeke Mettles in 1887. The paper, “The Gladiator,” was discontinued after one year. Worthington’s present newspaper was established April 9, 1925, by Leonard Insley. This paper is called the Worthington News and comes out every Thursday. Recently Mr. James Downing has started a new weekly “The Sharon Spectator, which comes out every Friday. This concludes our tour of Worthington. Before you leave, we hope you will look around our new school building which has just been completed. The wing which is now under construction will be the new Gym. We wish to thank the following people who helped us with the history of Worthington: Miss Mary Stein Mr. Vance Smith Mrs. Knox Pruden Miss Ruth Griswold M rs. Porter Darby Reverend Harold Grey Mr. A. B. McConagha 1825 Center of Scioto Land Grant. In addition to the points of interest which were pictured in the previous section, there are other centers of interest that make the village and surrounding area of special interest. One of the points of interest which bears note is the rock pictured above which is said to mark the center of the Scioto land company grant. This would necessarily locate Worthington in the exact center of the original grant. This would date the above stone back to the early I820’s, for it was in 1802 that the Scioto company headed west for the Ohio country. This means that the original plans, which were made in Connecticut before starting, involved the centering of the land grant in the Worthington area. The rock lies in front of the VI right home on Granville Road. Another stone of interest lies in front of St. John’s church. This stone has been identified with a bronze plaque, but does not represent the center of the land grant. This would indicate that Granville road and High Street were the virtual crossroads of the original grant. 1826 • Above is pictured the old Worthington Inn. This is typical of the many old buildings in the community which have been built of brick and mortar. A small kiln (as was pointed out earlier in this volume) was established in Worthington early in its history and it is probable that the establishment of this small brick making center fostered the use of bricks as building materials. One must realize that brick was an expensive form of building material by com- parison, since the surrounding territory was heavily forested. However, wooden build- ings lack the durability of the masonry structures. It is quite probable that there might be no building left to us if all had been erected from native lumber. The building reflects the colonial architecture which prevails throughout the com- munity. The building was also the home of WRFD until a few years ago. The radio station recently moved into a new building on north high street above the city limits. The eating establishment which now makes its home in the building keeps the tradi- tional atmosphere of an old colonial Inn as much as possible. 1827 One of the things that identifies the Worthington community as a page from a colonial book is the village green. The early New England founders of the town came from an area where village squares were quite prominent. This planning can be seen in the village of Worthington. The town pump is also characteristic of the colonial period. The one standing on the square in Worthington is one of the last of its type in this area. This and many other features go to date the village, and give a clue as to the birthplace of its founders. As is evidenced in the picture, the pump on the village green not only exists but is still operative. It is in good operation and still serves a useful purpose. 1828 A COMMUNITY OF SCHOOLS The Worthington school district at the present time is bounded on the south by the Columbus city limits and on the north by the Delaware county line. The eastern boundary of the district lies just beyond Karl Road and on the west the district extends a short way past Brooksidc Country Club. A better idea of these boundaries, in relationship to one another, can be had by looking at the present district map which appears later in the book. The boundaries mark off an area of approximately thirty square miles. At the present time, the district is designated as an exempted village school district. Living in this school area are 12,000 people with nearly 1000 children of school age in our public schools. The district includes the population centers of Colonial Hills, Flint. Linworth, Mount Air. Riverlea, Sharon Heights and Worthington. The nature of the community is largely residential. Surrounding these residential or urban areas, farms with gently rolling fields are to be found. Included in the residential areas are some light industries which serve the entire area. Access to various points in Ohio, from virtually any spot in the district, is made easy by virtue of the many state and local roads which traverse the area. These trans- portation arteries are increasing at a rapid pace, to serve the expanding population centers near Columbus. Building activity has keynoted the progress of the district in recent years and an ever increasing number of children are making this a community of schools. Tapestry hanging in elementary school office. As a reminder of the progression in schools a tapestry has been painted and now hangs in the elementary school, in the office of Mr. H. C. McCord. All of the schools depicted have been presented in enlarged form, in the earlier sections of this book. The tapestry was painted by Miss Gale Michael, a Worthington art instructor. She was aided by an art student. Betty Pefferele. Into the painted reproductions of the schools went a great deal of research and study. Some of Worthington’s older residents were contacted to check on detail. Old publica- tions and aging pictures were checked in order to get the highest degree of authenticity possible. All of these buildings served virtually the same Worthington district, with some limited increase as the population spread. The eventual spread of the district and the schools which have been serving our students in recent years will be portrayd on the following pages. The original district as contrasted with the expansion of recent years can be seen by comparing the following two pages. The growth in building size indicates the increase in population over the period of years. The buildings almost serve as a yardstick of population throughout the years. 1830 I9HX VortViin ion School Dislrict In 19 2. Above is a drawing of the Worthington school district as it appeared in 1942 just eleven years ago. The dark area is the village itself while the lighter area is the sur- rounding territory of the district. As can be seen, the district ran to the west, just slightly past the river road on a me just east of Linworth. To the north it carried just past Wilson Bridge Road on a line that intersected the Worthington-Calena road. The district to the east extended the farthest of any direction since the southern limits of the village marked the line of the district in that direction. . Of the original boundaries, only the east retains its lines. As population in the area increased so the school district increased, until today it follows the lines of the boundary on the opposite page. The center of the district is easily identified by the intersection of Granville and High streets. The Olentangv River may he seen immediately west of the western extremity of the building. , , The school tract runs from evening street, on the north side of Granville road, to the river, and north to the Medick Estate. 1831 WORTHINGTON WORTHINGTON SCHOOL This red-brick building was built in 1938 on E. Granville road just east of the James Kilbourne Memorial Library. This school was used to house the first nine grades before the present high school building was built. An annex has been built behind the elementary building to aid in serving the many students. Since two units of the high school have now been erected, there are only six grades in the elementary school, and annex, with the seventh and the eighth grades in the junior high building. The last four grades are in the new high school. The Board of Education has its offices in this school and the senior high school holds its assemblies in the auditorium, and its basketball games in the gymnasium here. The new gvmnasium, now under construction, will house the athletic events after September of 1953. The teachers who instruct the children in these six grades are as follows: Miss Thomas, principal. Miss Deuble. Mrs. Rau. Mrs. Cox, Mrs. Kensler. Mrs. Diller. Mrs. Hirsh, Miss Murray, Miss Pringle. Miss Barnes. Miss Koste. Mrs. Stanos, Mrs. Ashton and Mrs. Hutzell. 1833 A committee meeting in the Worthington Elementary Annex 1834 A group of children practicing their reading Busy painting during art class 1835 Busy at their work HOMEDALE The Homedale school is one of three elementary schools which was consolidated with Worthington in March of 1049. Homedale was built on a three-acre plot of land at 50 Westview Avenue, in 1923. The three-acre plot enabled the school to retain some recreational facilities on the outside while enjoying the freedom of space in which to place the building. Homedale is an elementary school which houses the first four grades for its area. The building has been recently redecorated and offers an excellent environment for its students. After the first four years, students transfer their studies to the Sharon school, which lies just a few blocks away. The present teaching staff at Homedale is headed by Miss White, the head teacher, who is ably assisted by Mrs. Herrman. Mrs. Uhl. Mrs. Shollenberger and Mrs. Strasser. 1836 Viewing some relics of the pioneers 1837 Game-playing time in one of the classrooms at Homedale Left: Children playing on the Jungle Gym during recess.

The building was built in 1924 on three acres of land. The ample land space afforded both building space and area for outside recreation. Flint gives one the feeling of school, from a casual look at the picture above, since the school bell is still atop the building. This building and the Worthington elementary are two of the few schools in the area which still feature a school bell, perched in its old familiar place, atop the school The Flint school came into the Worthington district in March of 1949. At the present time Flint has six grades with three teachers. Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. Law and Mrs. McCormac make up the teaching staff at the Flint school. 1839 Students organize a store 1840 Time is given students for study Intent on handwriting exercises 1841 Checking over their science project SHARON Sharon, the newest of all the elementary buildings in the Worthington district was consolidated with Worthington in the spring of 1949 at the same time as Flint and Homedale. This elementary school was built in 1 149. The building was not yet com- pleted when it entered the district. After it was consolidated, four more rooms and a gymnasium were added. They were completed in the summer and fall of 1951. Sharon is located on an eight-acre lot at 5400 Foster Avenue south of Worthington The teachers in this school instruct children in the first through the sixth grades. The teachers are as follows: Mrs. Linnabary, principal: Mrs. Kersling, Miss Onsel, Mrs. Woods. Mrs. Hollenback, Mrs. Poling. Miss Winegar. Mrs. Alkire, Mrs. Clay, Mrs. Eymann, Mrs. Newman. Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Blanchard. Mrs. Beem, Mrs. Jaynes. Sharon’s modem cafeteria is often used by many different organizations and classes of the other schools for banquets, dinners, etc. Also, the classes have held big dances in their gym, such as the Junior-Senior Dance. 1842 Gym class square dancing at Sharon Reading is an important part of the curriculum. Above is the reading hour. 1843 Here is story telling time at Sharon Students paint a mural of South America 1844 r NORTH PERRY NORTH PF.RRY SCHOOL BUILDING The North Perrv School combines old English architecture with a lovely country setting to bring a picturesque school building into the community. A circle drive leads in to the school, which is situated on a five-acre plot of land. The school entered the Worthington district in June of 1951. The building, which was built in 1918. is situated on West Granville road in Linworth. The school features many activities, one of which is the little toy hand, pictured on the following pages. Ample recreational spare is afforded by the large play yard which is in the rear of the school. The teachers at North Perry are: Mrs. Holl. head teacher; Mrs. Poole. Miss Corbin, Mrs. Lee, and Mrs. Hile. 1845 Painting a mural of the western movement. 1846 Peering at a microscopic object while others wait their turn. The little first grade toy band at North Perry.

The final wing of the main building is still under construction and will house the new gymnasium. The west wing of the building was the first unit to be used b the Worthington High School student body, «luring the 1951-52 school year. Our school office was set up in the front hall of the building and classes were maintained in all of the rooms. In October of 1952 the administrative wing on the building was completed to a great enough extent to permit use of some of the rooms. As the workmen moved out the student body mcrved in until the entire administrative wing ha«l l een taken over by the students. Actual completion of the building was not made until after classes had been held in this unit for two months. The sounds of hammers and sanding were common during our early class days in the administrative wing. Now the shovels have moved the dirt for our new gym. and our athletic unit is well on its way. We hope to move into this unit by the first of the next school year. With the com- pletion of the gym, the main sections of our “campus type” school will be finished. However, as time progresses, there will be greater needs to be met. Our school popula- tion is growing, and from the looks of it, our school plant is growing right along with it. 1850 JUNIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL Mr. Howard Andreas, Junior High School prin- cipal. has been with the Worthington Schools for eleven years as principal and math teacher.

Linda McCord represented the class on Homecoming court. In our Sophomore year, we moved to the Junior high building and elected Jim Rurke as our president. Betsy Moore was our Homecoming attendant. Then we were Juniors and working hard to put on a good Junior-Senior. Jim Burke again should- ered the responsibility of the presidency. The Jun- iors began the Christmas tree sale which has be- come a traditional project. We gave a three-act comedy “Who’s Batty Now” in the spring and our dance “Moonlight Bay” was a great success. Suz- zanne Knowlton was the Juniors choice for Home- coming attendant. In our Senior year, all of our efforts were aimed toward the wonderful trip to Washington. D. C., and New York. To this end we worked in the milk concession, in the cafeteria, sold Cardinal sweat shirts and scarfs, collected tax stamps, held spaghetti dinners and gave a verv successful plav “Magnifi- cent Obsession.” Eddie Dressel was President in our Senior vear and Jane Tracy was chosen Homecoming queen. Betsy Moore was Senior attendant. The class will graduate with memories of wonderful years of fun and work together at W'orthington. 1860 Bailey. Nancy Y-T. 2-3-4. Treas. 3-4. G.A.A. 2-3-4. Cab. 3.

HOMECOMING Rain and cloud� greeted our Homecoming queen this year, hut neither dampened the spirits of a stand-out homecoming throng. The Queen and her court reigned as it rained with the sereneness of true royalty. The half-time ceremonies ran smoothh. 1892 The crowning is always a memorable moment on homecoming eve. Here Paul Smith places the crown on Queen- Jane’s head. The interest of the group is reflected in their faces The third annual Mid-Six Track and Field Meet was held at Worthington in May of 1952. This is the third year that Worthington has been lucky enough to act as host for the event. According to custom, the Queen and her court are elected by the track team from the host school. Suzzanne Knowlton was the Queen and she was assisted in awarding winners’ medals by her at tendants: Betty Hamilton, senior; Linda McCord, junior; Beverly Crooks, sophomore; and Patt Culp, sophomore.

HALLOWEEN The 1952 Halloween Celebration was held at the football field. This year’s Queen was very fortunate in having a clear night to reign over all of Worth- ington’s spooks and goblins. The Queen, Carol Palmer, was crowned by Mayor Wing in the absence of last year’s Queen, Jacquie Dumbauld. Her court consisted of: Carolyn Markey, senior; Marylon Scatterday, junior; Nancy Price, sophomore; and Tish Stover, freshman. Due to unfortunate circumstances, all pictures taken the night of the celebration were out of focus.

REESE BOHN BIRKE WOLF JOSEPH COX Worthington pursued its fortunes in the Mid-Six this yeuf, giving a good account of itself in five league starts The Cards wound up with a 3 won 2 lost record in the league and a 3 won 4 lost record for the over all season The Cards seldom trailed by more than one touchdowr during the season. The heart break of the season was the final game with Westerville. The Cards had the ball on the Westerville one foot line as the game ended. Had the Cards scored they would have tied the game and had they converted they would have won the game by one point. Seniors who walked off of the field for the last time after the Westerville game were: Roger Bohn. Cle Reese. Jim Burke. Dick Wolf. Bill Joseph, Bob Traver. John Quelette. and Jerry Cox. Capt. Phil Wood led the team throughout the year and also bid farewell to his high school football career at Westerville. The high point of the season w'as the Cardinal win over Hilliard by a 33-14 score.

It was Coach Dave Howell’s second co-championship in his first two years with the varsity squad. The Cardinals dropped six games in seventeen starts this season, losing to Linden. Mt. Vernon. Upper Arlington. West. Grove City, and Hilliards. In the winners’ bracket the Cardinals won over Delaware Willis. St. Clairs Shores, and Bexley in non-league competition. In the two rounds of league play they had a clean slate, except for splits with Hilliards and Grove City. All in all. they had a 11-6 record and completed another fine season. Graduating members of the squad include Capt. Chuck Roll, Jerry Cox, Jim Burke, Tom Lindblom, Bob Tarver, Roger Bohn, and Paul Smith.

I andis. Smith. Tennis is a favorite sport, even in the early spring. Excitement on the gym floor as a “long shot” is launched by Dornbirer from the outside of the opposition’s defenses. Tracy eyes two points as the other players wait for the shot. Hockey furnishes an energetic past time as these players set their sites on the wooden ball. 1906 In picture number one at the upper left, Sevy stops a hard driving hack with a high tackle. At the upper right, Burke stretches for a two pointer while the opposition makes a vain attempt to stop him. In the picture at the lower left the ball seems to fascinate the players as a goal drops neatly through the nets. At the lower right, follow the leader seems to be the game as the ball carrier is brought to earth by a multiple tackle. 1907 TRACK First row: Williams, Stevens. Rieke. Butler. Mally. Bell. Biven.

The 1952 track season was really a thriller for Coach “Les Eisenhart’s enthusiasts. It was the smallest team in the history of the school but probably the best. They won the Mid-Six track meet for the second time in a row, and also set many new school and track records throughout the season. Other important meets in which they par- ticipated were: the Springfield Relays, Mansfield Relays, Ohio Wesleyn Relays, and the Miami Relays. The track squad won its seventh District Track Championship and ended its fine season by tying for eighth place in the state. Senior members of the squad were: Captain Buddy Butler. Don Rieke, Bob “Barrel” Stevens. Paul Mally. Bill Bell. Jim Biven. Jerry Williams, and Paul Bronson. Juniors were Bill Joseph, Jerry Cox, Rick Ross, Bill Cariens. Promising Sophomores are Jack Blackburn. Dick Rieke, Tom Schumacher, Ken Adams, and Chuck Zimmer. 1908 BASEBALL Kneeling: Baxter. Baltin. Wood, Dressel. Wolf, Greenwald. Hoskey.

Senior members of the team were Clyde Battin. Ronnie Baxter, and Beldon Dixon. Juniors were Chuck Roll, Evan Hartman. Eddie Dressel, Jim Burke, Phil Wood.

By joining the Girls’ Athletic Asso- ciation a girl may participate in almost any of her favorite sports. This ear the group was advised by Miss Calland. All forms of sports are the keynotes of the group. Tournaments are held be- tween girls' teams each year and the victor in the tournament series plays in the traditional Yale-Harvard game, which is held in the elementary gym. The two teams playing in this are made up of the better players in the school and the game is always exciting. The point system enables a girl with 50 points to receive a letter and .a girl with 100 points to receive a medal. Aside from the many games and tournaments. GAA gives dances every year. This year the GAA has also sponsored swimming at the YWCA: this has been a fast growing activity at Worthington and a majority of the girls in GAA have participated in the sport. First row Low-man.

As our school grows the junior Ili-Y group will also grow until it will he possible for every hoy to participate in four years of Hi-Y activity. Both the junior and the senior Hi-Y are directed by Mr. Nelson. This activity has contributed much to the growth of fellowship in the school and has also taken on the providing of materials for needy groups. Articles of clothing were collected this year for the state hospital. The entire group works to foster the aims of Christian fellowship. Firs! row: Lake, Aleshin-, Santoni, Schwab. Bachelor.

Y ’’-TEENS The purpose of the Y-Teens is to achieve a higher standard of womanhood for all of its members; to have a spirit of friendliness to- ward people of all races, religions, and nationalities; to grow in the knowledge and the love of God. The organization is open to any girl in the High School and this year is the big sister organization of the Jr. Y-Teens. The first activities of the year were the rough and formal initia- tions. These were followed by monthly meetings and the alumnae tea and the Christmas Formal. This year the group brought underprivileged children to a Christmas party. The collection of gifts and monthly informative meetings are other projects of the group. The group holds its meetings in the war memorial building which lends an informal and homelike atmosphere to the events. A scavenger hunt is one of the diversified activities which the Y-Teens engaged in this year. The meetings are held in the evening, thus making the scavenger hunt even more difficult. Speakers and programs are plan- ned by the cabinet in conjunction with the planning committee thus furnishing exper- ience in leadership of the members involved. Miss Frye is the capable advisor for the group. Bonfire before the Marysville game. The night pep rally has come to be regarded as a traditional thing at Worthington. The Y-Teens sponsor this all-school event. Wood for the fire is gathered by the ini- tiates and stacked in the field near the high school. A snake dance starts the evening and winds its way down the hill and around the fire. The fire is lighted and the group engages in cheers for the team and the building up of school spirit which usually spells victory for the Cardinals. First row: McCord. Hall, Crawford, Markov.

The society has two meetings a year. At these meetings the new members are in- ducted and a service is held.

Their cheers spurred our team on to many victories during the season in- cluding a very good showing in the mid-six league. Our reserve team too had a very good season. The cheerleaders pictured at the bottom of the page were responsible for keeping the team in the best of spirits through- out the season. Their able efforts were rewarded by the fine response in the gym and the rise in the general school spirit. R E s C E H L R E E V E A E R D E R S Raine, Snouffer, Keqting, Spring.

Our football cheerleaders serve throughout the season and enter into practice for their cheers just like the team does. When the band is on the field it looks to the drum majorettes for leadership and inspiration. Linda McCord was head majorette this year. When the going is hard and the team needs a cheer, the yells for a Worthington victor)' ring out on the night air under the direction of our football cheerleaders. Traver, Sheets, McCord, Crooks, Reeves, Price BAND The Worthington marching hand lends a festive note to all of our football games. Not only do its members perform at the football games, but they lend their music to the Hallowe’en celebration, and they march in the Memorial day paradt. The variety show, which occurs in the spring, is another band activity which has come to be recognized as traditional. The state of Ohio conducts a music contest every year, and here too our band members find recognition. Although not as large as is planned for the future, this year’s group won the admiration and respect of the entire student body and the community for their fine performances on the gridiron. Our new band master this year is Mr. Baumgartner, who is replacing Mr. Franck. Mr. Baumgartner has done a fine job in continuing to build this musical organization to keep pace with our growing school. First row: Price, Reeves. Crooks. McCord. Sheets, Traver.

'Ds M 44JZj( ft' Ten pounds of potatoes, please . . . And Mr. Jones methodically weighs out the potatoes, accepts your money, rings up the sale and hands you the change. To us this is a symbol of free enterprise in America. Mr. Jones has invested his savings, and perhaps borrowed capital, for a small neighborhood business. He has stocked his shelves and outfitted his store to attract and hold valued customers. He has advertised and worked toward an established business that will take care of his family and build an estate for the future. He has employed other people to help take care of his customers. Mr. Jones must make a reasonable profit to provide for a “rainy day” and to replace worn out equipment. By investing his money, he expects to make a little more than wages and to continue rendering this neighborhood service as long as needed. He is respected and admired as a wholesome part of our American way of life—through the free enterprise system. When we recognize these values, we will be ever on our guard to protect the way of life that is known as the best in the world.

One hundred and fifty years of living are portrayed in the opening pages and three years of living are portrayed in the latter pages. Our little moment on the Worthington scene is but a brief one compared to the span of years. We hope to live our brief moment so well and so fully that history will both remember and be kind, when the tunes comes to present our lives to a future generation. We have lived, w'orked and played together. Now the road is rapidly narrowing and the end of our journey together is in sight. The staff of the Cardinal wants to extend a hearty invitation to all of its readers to remember our years and the people involved in them. W'e have worked hard to bring this book together as our memory volume. Let all of us work to keep the friendships we have made. Keep our memory fresh, of friends made and times enjoyed through the reading of the pages of this book. OUR STAFF Some of our staff members have earned special recognition and we take this opportunity to say “thanks” for a job well done, believing that this is humble payment for the many hours spent. Tom Class is our candidate for the longest service to yearbooks through the last three years, and scarcely enough can be said to praise Tom. The business staff has all been wonderful, and deserves the full page upon which their names appear. Our hats are off to JoAnne Mitchell, Carolyn Markey, Cheryl Cummings, Linda McCord, and our assistant editor, Marylon Scatterday. Thanks also to the scores of other people who helped in many ways to make this publication possible. We can’t leave without mentioning also the many hours which Jerry Bulford has spent in getting all of your photographs between these covers. Lastly, the business staff leader has financed the biggest yearbook ever, and come out on top with a little to spare. Paul Smith gets our vote for future secretary of the treasury.
