mfZAnJ, yORTHINGTON ilGH CHOOL yORTHINGTON ---n f1 assays It is always hard loma great star Ode into the twi- light at Worthington, but this year one of our greatest will be leaving us. Mr. Ray Heischman has been with our system (or sixteen years and in that time has won the respect and acclamation of hundreds o! students. Many recall him as a physics teacher and principal but still more recall him as a coach. We hear old grads come back and greet him with Hi chief” and we know that with the greeting they are drifting back to the days when they were a member of one of his basketball squads. We can all recall the 1947 season when Worthington placed second in the state. This might have been the highlight of his career, but really, there are many other incidents that were just as important, so many in fact that we hesitate to recall all of them. In reality every season was a great one. if not for scores, then for sports- manship and honor that goes with winning of a 'cleanly fought contest. We could relate, by the hour, the students he has helped and the many extra efforts he has made on our behalf. The opportunity for student expression and the fairness of treatment means more to us than these words or any others could describe. We have a feeling that the faculty, too. will miss a real friend and companion in the coming year. What we say here might well be stated in their behalf also. Efforts to describe true feelings in words are poor at best, and we have not improved them much with this writing. We just want you to know. Mr. Heischman. that all of our good wishes go with you wherever you go. SUPERINTENDENT Mr. McCord has served as superintendent of the Worthington schools for 17 years, as principal for two and as teacher of science, physical edu- cation, and industrial arts for six years. He has taught in four other schools. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Ohio University and his Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University. Mr. McCord's hometown is Ashville, Ohio. SENIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL Mr. Heischman, our high school principal, has taught at Worthington sixteen years. He began his career at Worthington by leaching junior high mathematics and science. After teaching four years at the junior high, he became prin- cipal at the senior high, teaching physics and coaching varsity basketball and golf. Mr. Heisch- man obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Capital University and his Mas- ter of Arts degree from Ohio State University. His home town is New Albany, Ohio. JUNIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL Mr. Andreas, Junior High School principal, has been with the Worthington Schools for thirteen years as principal and math teacher. Prior to joining the faculty here, he taught in Leetonia, Ohio, and in Medina, Ohio. Mr. Andreas earned his degree of Bachelor of Science in Education at Kent State University and his Master's degree from Ohio State University. His hometown is Wheeling, West Virginia. 7 Mr. Lester Eisenhart Mr. Rudy Hitzemann B.S., Education. O.S.U. B.S., Ind.

CLASS OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary T reasurer Dave Stinchcomb Bob Langhirt Rowena Zimmerman Nancy Biven THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1955 The class of 1955 was the last class to enter high school as Sopho- mores and the last class to spend its Freshman year in the Junior high school. In our Freshman year John Goers presided over the class and Donna Lakota was our attractive representative on the homecoming court. Upon entering the new high school building as Sophomores, we undertook our first fund raising project, the magazine drive. Fred Wood capably led our class and Patty Armstrong was our striking homecoming attendant. In no time we were Juniors and a trip to Washington, D. C. and New York was everyone’s dream. Terry Morgan and his cabinet began turning this dream into a reality. The Christmas tree sale, wood cutting project, taffy sale and several bake sales began build- ing up our treasury. Karen Keating was our cute addition to the Homecoming Court. Gales of laughter filled the auditorium as we presented Dear Ruth. We were the first class to have a Junior-Senior Prom in the new gymnasium. We planned for many months and on the big night the gym was completely transformed into an underwater scene. Every- one enjoyed an evening in Neptune’s Court. Dave Stinchcomb was our very able president during our eventful senior year. It was highlighted by many dinners, selling cushions on O.S.U.’s campus on football Saturdays, and our Senior Class Play, George Washington Slept Here. Everyone took pride in Karen Keating, our Homecoming Queen, and Patty Armstrong, her senior attendant. Long at last we spent an exciting week in Washington D. C. and New York. Then our memorable commencement climaxed our high school days. As the stars fade into the future, so do the Seniors of 1955. i4 FATTY ARMSTRONG - G. A.

All ot the contestants were most attractive and it was very difficult to decide between them. Cur selection was based on (a) features and contours ot the face, (b) alertness and apparent intelligence and (c) feminine charm. Naturalness, not glamour, is my criterion of a young lady’s attractiveness — and I think this year s CA ?DI NA L QUE EN is an excellent exa mpIe of the natural girl at her very best. Congratulations to the winner, all the contestants and to ycu and fellow members of the yea rbook staff. Sincerely, INCY Cardinal Queen Candidates Carole Kocpkc. Sue Shidakcr, Nancy Van Voorhis, Pat Armstrong, Marla Hoskey, Nancy Price, Joan Williams. TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR HOW WE WONDER WHO YOU ARE- This year, for the first time in the his- tory of W. H. S„ a Cardinal Queen was selected. The contest was sponsored by the yearbook staff. John Robert Powers of the Powers Modeling School in New York City made the final decision from our seven lovely candidates. Queen Sue’s eyes were certainly twink- ling through tears of joy when Gary Boucher, Business Manager of the year- book, told the biggest secret of the year and crowned Sue, Cardinal Queen of 1955. 46 QUEEN KAREN RAIN, RAIN, RAINI HOMECOMING QUEEN This song must have been written for our Queen, Karen Keating, as the steady downpour didn’t let up for a minute during her reign. However, nothing could stop our team this year. The spirit of every Wothingtonite soared sky-high as our team put the “P” in champion by downing Grove City 27 to 6. It was only a few weeks later that they finished the work and became the Mid-Six Football Cham- pions of 1954. We took pride in Karen and her court, composed of Patty Armstrong, Senior; Caroline Corbin, Junior; Mary Thomas, Sophomore; and Peggy Campbell, Freshman. The Royal Party were the guests-of-honor at the Homec -ning Dance, where the coronation took place. A record crowd of happy couples Vd among the harvest-time scenes and Steve Jerman, Hi-Y President, crowned Karen, Home- coming Queen of 1955. HALLOWEEN QUEEN LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW! The snow was lightly falling as the tra- ditional Halloween parade, highlighted by the clever high school float covered with pretty leaves and done in autumn colors, passed by. Our Queen, Nancy Price, was seated in front of a radiant silver crescent moon; and her equally charming court, Joan Williams, Senior; Haldane Dosher, Junior; Lois Sells, Sophomore; and Nancy Ingram, Fresh- man, were seated before large silver stars. Due to the absence of last year's Queen, Marylon Scatterday, Nancy was crowned by Mr. H. C. McCord, Superin- tendent of the Worthington Schools. Dressed in tiger-lily orange with black accessories, Nancy was especially out- fitted to reign over all of the ghosts and goblins as Halloween Queen of 1954. Queen Nancy. Joan Williams, Haldane Dosher. Lois Sells. Nancy Ingram. 49 TRACK COURT BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE! On a cold, cold night in the spring o{ 1954, the honor of being host to ih« Annual Mid-Six Track and Field Meet was again bestowed upon Worthington. This was the fifth traditional Mid Six Meet, and each year we have been the host school. The Worthington Track Team se- lected the Queen. This year a new twist added much to the ceremonies and to! the unity of the Mid-Six. The Track team of each school selected a member of the court to represent them and their school. The girls were: Joan Williams, Worthington; Barbara McArton, Grove City; Marilyn Rose, Westerville; Rheba Miller, London; Marianne DeMary, Hil- liard; and Barbara Smith, Marysville. Coach Eisenhart presented Joan as Track Queen of 1954. Medals were awarded to the winners of the various' events by Queen Joan and her court. ] Every Worthingtonite was proud and happy that, for the fifth straight time,! Worthington was victorious. We were the Mid-Six Champs of 1954! The court looks on as Jack Blackburn bestows the traditional kiss on Joan Williams, Queen. 5° NELSON! Through sleet and snow, rain and storm, the team must come through. But some- where in all of this foul weather there has to be a beacon light to steer by. We think that Coach Dow Nelson and his assistants provided the perfect beacon during the past football season. For twelve years the Worthington “football ship of state” has been guided by Coach Nelson. He has been more than a coach to the teams that have passed under his watchful eye; he has been a good friend and a steadying in- fluence. “Thanks” may come in many ways, but most of the adjectives escape us. In- stead of a string of superlatives we seem to hear a football cheer that echoes down the corridors of Worthington football history — “Nelson! Nelson! He's our man! NELSON! HE’S OUR MAN! At left: Coach Nelson gives some directions from the sidelines, assuming a typical pose. Below: Fred Wood and Ralph Smith listen while Coach Nelson talks, before they go into the game. Dick Roberts, standing, has that far away look of victory in his eye. Ml.M % ' ' : ; Co-Captain Worthington’s football team brought home the school’s first Mid-Six champion- ship this year, after four years of league competition. The combined efforts of all eleven boys spelled the margin of victory. The line did a fine job and the backs took advantage of the openings. Coach Nelson was well backed by Coaches Howell, Hiueman and Hill. The assistant coaches called in plays from the observation booth and carried out the million and one tasks that must be accomplished to perfect a football machine. The highlight of the season was the London game. London went down to defeat on a perfect football evening. London’s tricky quarterback met his match in Bill Hickman and substitute quarterback Ted McQuaide. This set the stage for an undefeated, untied season. Steve n Co-Cap| From the first contest, when a favored Grandview squad was defeated, to the last game, when Big Walnut was swamped, the Cardinals held out for one of those rare football occurrences - A PERFECT SEASON.

Worthington’s cross country squad ended its season with a virtual even split for the year. The team netted four wins and five losses against some very tough competition. Springfield, East, Newark, Mansfield, Arlington, West, South, and Marion furnished the competition during the course of the year. The team finished third in the district and fifth in the Bowling Green Relays. They also finished second in the A. A. U. Captain Terry Morgan finished 16th in the state meet as Worth- ington’s only entry. Lettennen for the year were Terry Morgan, Jim Russell, Sam Wiley, Duane Pelkey, Sam Ream, Bob O'Neil, Charles Mick, Gary Schwab and Dave Stinchcomb. The team is looking forward to a strong year next year when the 9 dual meets of the past year will be staged again. 63 GOLF Kramer, Woods, Durlcy, DeeU, Jerman. Coach Kaynci This year Worthington’s golf team started almost from scratch” with only three lettermen returning from last year’s squad. The 1954 team placed second in the Mid-Six and also made a good show- ing in the Central Ohio League. Worthington is entered in the Mid-Six Tournament and also plays in the Central Ohio Golf League. In this league Bexley and other CBL teams are represented, as well as the city and Mid-Six Leagues. There are fourteen teams in all participating in the play. After one round the top bracket enters into a playoff of the golf crown. Worthington’s golf play has been improving over the past few’ years and this year promises to offer another step in that direction. 64 WRESTLING Row 1: Russell, MoVdear, Alban, Tangeman, Keating, Workman, Latham. Row 2: Coach Eisenhart, Goins, Mann, Dumbauld, Cook, Joseph, Kennedy. CHAMPIONS Worthington’s first year to have a wrestling team proved to be a successful one. Coach Eisenhart saw his mat men bring home a championship in their first year of competition. The Blind School, University high school, Fremont high school, Fostoria high school, and Findlay high school provided die oppo- sition throughout the season. In all of the meets, Worthington made an excellent showing. Highlight of the season was Worthington’s victory in the Central Ohio Invitational Meet at Ohio State University’s gymnasium. In the meet, Worthington walked off with the team title which in- cluded five divisional championships. Bill Dumbauld took the heavyweight division, Phil Tangeman the 171 pound class, Bob Cook the 160 pound class. Bob McVicar die 125 pound class, and Pete Beckwith, the lightweight division. Worthington scored 50 points to nose out the Blind School. The Cardinals plan to make this a yearly sport at Worthington, and from their beginnings the future promises to be a bright one. 65 SWIMINC Mr. Holderman and Dr. Bennington. Worthington’s school farm received a major addition last summer with the building of a new swimming pool just west of the high school building. Thanks to the Cardinal Boosters and the Swiminc organization the dream of a swimming pool became a reality after months of work in raising the money. The entire community got behind the project as it gathered momentum, and the final result was a beau- tiful new pool. We think that the Swiminc board is most deserving of any small tribute that we might pay them for their fine work. We also think that the man who built the pool is well deserving of the thanks that we wish to give him. Pool manager Dow Nelson has our best wishes for a most successful opening season, as does his assistant Earl Lane. We also hope that all of the youth of this community who swim in this fine new pool take time to give a thought to those that made all of this possible. Manager Nelson and Assistant Manager Lane. Swimmers Sally Quelette, Gail Travel , and Nancy Price pose on the diving tower. Bathers resting beside the pool. 67 Included in the G. A. A. basketball program were interscholastic contests as well as intramural games and class tournaments. The teams traveled to nearby schools such as Grandview, Arlington, and Bexley. Although the hockey teams lost all of their games this year, the spirit of sports- manship was on hand at all times. Practices for the teams were held every Thursday afternoon dur- ing the season. A spaghetti dinner for all of the girls on the team climaxed the hockey year. All of the tennis matches were played between differ- ent students of the G. A. A. club and these contests pro- duced many skilled players, one of these being Phyllis Pelkey, a very deserving champion. 69 SjfTTT'ATTOr? V MIXED CHOIR Row I: Dicrker, Keating, Roloson, Huggard.

The rapidly growing instrumental music department under the direction of Mr. Alan C. Williams com- pleted another busy year. The Marching Band again furnished outstanding half time shows at all of the home and away football games. An added feature this year was the use of pre- cision drill formations. After an absence of several years, the Orchestra was reorganized and was featured at both the Christmas and Spring Concerts. At all the home basketball games and many of the away games the lively Pep Band provided music. The highlight of Worthington’s finest Dance Band was the Variety Show. The Concert Band enjoyed its greatest year musi- cally as its repertoire included many outstanding sym- phonic compositions. Other groups which contributed to a successful year were the German Band, small jazz combos and numer- ous ensembles. The Band Council is the governing body for all of these organizations and the group which makes it possible for a smooth functioning department. Row 1: Price, Corbin. Traver. Bach, Enz, Herron.

VARIETY SHOW This year's variety show was built around the theme Fantasy in Color.” The show itself featured many colors and just as wide a variety of acts. The Lady in Red offers an opening scene of brilliant color. A Latin American scene features the Senior Girls' Quartette and the Girls’ Ensemble. In a setting of sea foam green, the mixed choir is featured with their outstanding number being “Down the Wind. Throughout the show the dance band is featured. The variety show has come to be rec- ognized as the biggest musical event of the school year, with a great deal of ef- fort going into the production of the show. Both the vocal and instrumental music departments combine their talents for the show. Directors for the instru- mental and vocal departments respec- tively are Mr. and Mrs. Alan Williams.

The football cheerleaders did a fine job of planning pep rallies and building up the spirit which backed their team in an untied and undefeated season. The warm spirit lasted through even the coldest of football evenings. Although the reserve basketball team didn’t lake the championship, their cheerleaders were an inspiration for many season victories. The varsity cheerleaders, with a fine cheering section, lifted the team from many tight spots with that important full-hearted spirit which helped the squad earn their well deserved cham- pionship and an almost perfect season.

Each homeroom and class had a representative in Student Council who brought the ideas of the student body with him. At each home basketball game Stu- dent Council sponsored a coat check. A first at Worth- ington this year was the Teens Against Polio Benefit also sponsored by the Student Council. Fred Wood, Student Body President, was a very competent presid- ing officer. Mr. Ray Heischman advised this group. Fred Wood, Student Body President Row 1: Anderson. Hindes. Shidaker, Badertscher, Wood, Koepke. Scatterday, DeWeese. Row 2: Stump, Wren.

To be selected for membership in this group is quite an honor and virtually all of the school’s students contest for the honor of membership in the group. Two meetings are held each year. This year's meetings were held at Dublin and Mifflin. The meetings began with an initiation of the new members and ended in a social hour. The purpose of these meetings was to create an atmos- phere of friendship for better understanding among the members. This year’s representative from Worthington was Sam Ream.

SCIENCE CLCI The Science Club had a busy year under their capable officers, I)an Owens, Presi- dent; Bob Langhirt, Vice-President; Van Volk, Secretary; Mike Schaer, Treasurer; and Enid Levenson, Reporter. At their bi-monthly meetings they had speakers and worked with high fidelity. Some members made their own hi-fi systems. They began looking into the possibility of establishing a radio station at W. H. S. with the students themselves doing the entire operation. This year they revived an old custom at Worthington, which hasn’t been done since 1945, by sponsoring a Science Ex- hibit in connection with the P. T. A. open house. It is hoped that in the years to come they will be able to hold a Sci- ence Fair as a preliminary to the State Science Fair. The club also sponsored an assembly for the entire student body. Mr. Earl Lane and Mr. George Taylor advised the group. Row 1: Ream, Schaer, Langhirt, Lee, Levenson, Owens, Volk, Shirk.

Throughout the years this party has come to be one of the best attended events of the school year. An average of one third of the school has attended over the four years in which the party has been staged. This year’s party was held during the Christmas vacation. Joan Williams and Jayne Dornbircr pause a moment before leaving for the roller rink. 97 1955 CARDINAL An endeavor to present the best yet in a yearbook has been the goal of the 1955 CARDINAL staff. We have attempted to present an exciting theme and to in- clude features new and outstanding. Among other improvements are a broader coverage of activities and organ- izations, and the selection of a CARDI- NAL Court to be featured in the book. All the hours of hard work, struggle, and worry were thrust aside when the final copy shipment left for Buffalo and the staff anxiously awaited the arrival of the finished product. A large group of capable and industrious people have contributed their energy and time to this year’s book. Leading these were Editor Karen Keating, Business Man- ager Gary Boucher and Advisor Mr. Glenn I). Williams. It is the sincerest and highest hope of the staff that we have produced an an- nual that will delight the student body and will recall the 1954-1955 memories for years to come.

Sam Wiley han- dled sports this year and did a good job in that department. Carole Koepke was the author of the Teen Chatter column and kept a lively interest going through- out the year. Sophomores were active this year too as Gretchen Lalendorf and Sally Purcell excelled with their writing. The entire staff was well led by Jean Inglis. Her efforts were rewarded by fine results.

This year Barbara Halliday was elected President of the club. Sally Taylor served as Vice-President, Shirley Felder as Treasurer, Barbara Wren as Reporter, and Paula Marks as Secretary. Mrs. Vir- ginia Palcich was the advisor. The group meets once a month. The purpose of the club is to further the in- terest of the girls in home economics.

CHESS CLUB Seated: George Krauss, Bob Hall. The Chess Club was founded this year by a group of students interested in forming a club in which they could share their hobby of chess. Because of the fact that chess is growing in popu- larity from coast to coast, and in various academies, such as Annapolis, the club found their venture quite successful. Among the programs which were planned for the meetings was a chess demonstration by a professor from the Ohio State University. Games were scheduled with chess groups from West- erville, University and other surrounding schools. The club made up in enthu- siasm what it lacked in experience but was showing marked improvement in its tournaments toward the end of the year. The advisor for the group is Mr. George Taylor.

This organization was formed for the purpose of joining the various seasonal cheerleaders in united efforts toward better school spirit. They are hoping to increase their treasury so that in future years the club may pur- chase the uniforms for the cheerleaders. Under their president, Gail Traver, the club has gone a long way toward achieving its goal. The club meets when the need arises and some of their proj- ects have included the sale of license tags and decals. The advisor for the group is Miss Mary Lou Bach. Standing: Doth Fouls, Nancy Down.

When teenager, Miriam Webster, begins corresponding with a soldier overseas, she signs her older sister, Ruth's name. Problems and hilarity galore prevail when Bill, the soldier, returns to the U. S. A. and ventures to Ruth’s home to see her. To add to the mix-up Bill wishes to marry Ruth, who is also the sweetheart of Albert Kummer. The problems and humorous plot provided a full evening of enjoyment for the audience. Miss June Porter directed the play.

Chuck Vincent Bill Hickman Harold Klobbermeyer Steve Potter SENIOR CLASS PLAY A farmhouse in Pennsylvania was the setting for the Senior Class Play this year. Despite the historic value of the house, it was a dilapidated wreck complete with a hole in the roof. The trials and tribulations of the Fuller family in redecorating their new home and trying to meet payments provided an enjoyable evening of fun and laughter. Miss June Porter directed the well known play by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, George Washington Slept Here.

To add to the monotony Uncle Stanley must not be disturbed during his nap, which incidentally is being taken on the Sunday newspaper, the only possible source of entertainment. Raymond, the juvenile demon, receives a blow on the head for an attempt to release secret information. His know-it-all ability has proved quite a problem to the family, but he later saves the day for them. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY TIME: 1970 PLACE: STAR Airport at Cleveland, Ohio EVENT: “Worthington Meets the Stars” California here I come, right back where I started from!” What’s everybody singing about? You say the class of “55” is just about to leave for Hollywood to meet the stars? “All passengers taking off on Flight 415 for Hollywood leave on ramp three.” As the passengers hurry to board the plane, we notice our stewardesses, Nana Richards and Nancy Down, greeting the people. We watch the mechanics busy at work preparing our plane for the long flight ahead. We then are reminded of our own mechanics John Davis, Bob Backus, and Dick Brown, who will be riding along with us to be on hand in case of trouble. It must be nearing take-off time, for we see our pilot and co-pilot, Don Korn and Dave Fornshell. We know that the plane is in capable hands, for they are graduates “magna cum laude” from the Dick Roberts Flight Training School. Dave Stinchcomb, our leader, and his assistant- Bob Langhirt, now boarding the plane, are accounting for all passengers before take-off time. But wait! Was that lightning we saw in the distance? There it is again, and it’s coming closer and closer. Why it’s none other than our track star, Terry Morgan, with two of his teammates, Ron Shanks and Sam Wiley. It's time for take-off. All safety belts fastened? Here we go! As we saunter through the plane, we notice some of the officers of the Chess Club, Bob Hall and George Krauss. indulging in a game of chess. We finally come to our seats, and the sweet strains of Bob Jacobs’ morning music provides tunes for relaxation. Suddenly one of our classmates begins to cough, breaking the silence. This continues for a few minutes, and finally the Smith Brothers, Ralph and Clyde, can stand it no longer. Nancy Evans and Pat Morgan, our experienced nurses rush to the scene, while the Brothers quickly come to the rescue with a carton of their wonderful cough drops. We see the airport from our window as the plane comes to a stop. Everyone is certainly looking forward to getting on with the tour. Janice Glaze and Carol Kibbey are especially enthusiastic about meeting Patti Page and many recording stars. Bound for the Ambassador Schwab Hotel- we are greeted upon our arrival by Gary Schwab, who offers us excellent hospitality and service. Dale Durley is making sure that everyone signs the register while Bart Fisher, a bellboy, tries to corral all of our luggage. By now the pangs of hunger have struck, but we know the answer — Guy Fracasso’s exclusive Driftwood Inn, specialties of Pizza and Spaghetti. Upon arrival, we immediately spot The Four Lads and persuade them to entertain us with some of their hit songs. Charles Burrer, having already been served, is having hysterics over the salad as he tries to find the Thousand Islands in the dressing. Since the hour is late, we leave the restaurant; while enroute to our hotel, we spy the name of the fabulous entertainer, Henry Shuster, high on the marquee. Remember the terrific marimba solos he used to play for us? A jjeaceful night is had by all and, after breakfast, someone suggests that we go to the beach for a swim. On our way we lose some of the boys at Crow's Sports Haven. Bill’s establishment is really quite the sportsman’s headquarters. There goes Bob Leist, taking time off from his growing business to purchase a new' surf- board from the store. Ed Boggs, consulting engineer, follows Bob out with some •13 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY golf balls and is making a bee-line for the golf course to keep his golf date with his two associates, Bob O'Neil and Chris Deetz. They are ready for their daily golf date with Perry Como. Continuing on our way. we finally reach the beach. There we notice Verna Snoufler, Sharon Radclilf, and Carolyn Tucker, on vacation from their various teaching jobs in different states chatting over old times. Look at the crowd on the diving raft! Oh! Wasn’t that a beautiful dive! Who was it? Why, it’s the cham- pion diver, Jeananne Seymour. She is busy teaching Phyllis Pelkey the techniques of championship diving, while Esther Williams looks on with approval. Say, isn’t that Dick Woods, coach of the noted Globe Trotters, sitting in that beach chair? He and his team must be on vacation from their busy schedule. Having had a refreshing swim we are now anxiously awaiting the Rose Bowl Parade. Floats galore are in store! Here comes a float representing Autumn and time for Halloween. Why, the queen is attractive Nancy Price. A huge track shoe is on the next float, and standing beside the shoe is lovely Joan Williams. The float which everyone has been looking forward to seeing is now approaching. On it is the Rose Bowl Queen, lovely Karen Keating, attracting the eyes of all. As we leave the parade we spot the Exclusive Plastics Designer, Steve Jerman, on his way to the stadium. Entering the stadium gates right behind us comes the well know veterinarian, Dr. Jack Hopper, who has become the private vet for Esther Williams’ sea horses. He introduces us to Mr. Steve Potter, owner of Holly- wood’s largest lumber concern. We learn that Mr. Potter is supplying the lumber for the construction of a piano shaped house for the famous millionnaire piano player. Gary Boucher. Mr. Lowell Shuster, contractor for such stars as Ray An- thony and Ben Gage, is in charge of construction. Within the stadium we see a large newsstand owned by Tom Aumock and Fred Curran. As we thumb through a paper, we see that the entire editorship is under MartyLewis. Say, aren’t diose drawings familiar? Why, they are drawn by the famous cartoonist, Carl Kramer. Reading on, we find that Phyllis McGee is Society Editor, Joan Irvin has a very interesting column on the home, while Julianne Shiland writes on the latest fashions. Later in the afternoon we find ourselves in front of the W. H. S. Production Studios. Shall we go in? Gail Warner is not particularly interested in these studios since she has her own Warner Sisters Studios. She and her vice-president, Barbara Southard, leave us to tend to their own business. Entering the studio, the first door we come to is that of die sound stage. Through the window we see Tom Green, the famous movie director, busy at work. We pause a few minutes to catch Dan Owens in a fabulous romantic role, while Martha Huggard and Jean Inglis play accompanying parts. Strolling on, we hear some familiar voices; and upon investigating, we find it’s Patty Armstrong and Sally Reeves busy working on a new musical. Under the effective and experienced lighting of Chuck Mick, we see Bob Herron directing the choreography for the production. Nancy Sheets and Carolyn Keck, now in the spotlight, are his leading dancers. We recognize the familiar face of Nat “King” Cole as he watches Sue McCord and Wilma Johnson, two noted recording stars as they rehearse. Who was that who just passed? I do believe it was John Spoff. Isn’t he the famous lawyer who assists actresses with legal affairs? That looks like the make-up room just ahead. Let’s look in. Jane Dornbirer is head of this department. There she is now, supervising a make-up job being done on Julius LeRosa. 114 Pictures, pictures, pictures, announces the expert photographer, Rowena Zim- merman, as she madly tries to round up the models who are scheduled for the photography set. I timing toward the double doors, we see Sue Moladay and Gail Traver grace- fully coming forth in some of Dior’s latest fashions. The girls are modeling to the pleasing music of Archie Blyer’s orchestra, while Marla Hoskey, a John Powers model from New York, instructs. As for costumes, the studio has the best of designers. This department is under the supervision of Beryl Insinger. Continuing along the corridors, we finally near the dressing rooms of some of the famous stars. Among them is the Evans team, Ruby and Fred, who are starring in a unique musical number. We also see Bill Ayers, now a famous comedian- having been discovered because of his superior commercials during the first years of his booming career. Preparing to leave, we notice Homer and Jethro with their staff of secretaries, Sally Quelete, Mary Lou McCall, and Sally Black, departing for a day’s work of answering their ‘‘Dear John letters. But before we make our exit, we stop at the soda fountain where Nancy Cory serves us a tasty snack. Everybody is enthusiastic to attend the premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Arriving, we recognize Ann Spring, the exclusive buyer for Springtime Fashions, stepping out of the car with her escort. Next our eyes are turned to a cluster of girls near the entrance; Karlene Dierker, Cynthia Kay, and June Gabriel, all well- known newspaper critics, are immediately recognized. The soothing music of an orchestra catches our ear, so we hurry inside to find our seats. As we enter we hear the music of Ray Anthony and his able musicians which include our own Sam Reamand Don Cameron on trumpet. Bill Dumbauld beating drums, Vic Badertscher on clarinet, and Judy Mowry at the piano; we feel that a super evening is in store for us. The lights soon flicker and the enter- tainment is ready to begin. The following day, while we are sightseeing, we pass the W. H. S. TV station where we see a billboard stating that Barbara Halliday, Bobbie Sanders, and Shirley Felder are the stars of the TV show, Homemakers. After leaving the station we are now on our way to view the Golden Gate Bridge. As we pass a huge car lot, you can’t help but see the sign of “Moore. Mayes and Corrigan.’’ Bob, Ray, and Dave seem to have a specialty on foreign cars. Walking on, the billboard up ahead informs us that Ginny Evans and her famous horses will be coming for a show in the near future. As the Golden Gate Bridge looms ahead, we gaze in awe, and see the names of the engineers and contractors on the bronze tablet. Don Richards does not seem interested in the bridge, but upon that yacht cruising out on the water, wondering if it is one of his. On our way to the hotel, as we pass the State House, we see Governor Fred Wood, accompanied by Nancy Biven, State Auditor, as they leave the building. Seeing the Governor seems to have completed our day. There is much hustle and bustle as we prepare to leave the hotel for the airport. Everyone seems anxious to be homeward bound. As the plane departs, dusk and the beautiful lights mark the setting of a perfect trip. Each light in itself symbol- izes some of the fine times Worthington has had as we met the stars. 1 ‘5 Compliments of GABEL DAIRY GRACELAND Compliments of INTERIORS INC. 4959 North High St. KANAWHA MARKET Columbus, Ohio 5314 N.

Each Saturday, many of the staff gathered early in the morning to spend the day in laying out the pages and collecting the advertisements. Joan Williams did an outstanding job on every piece of art work. A wonderful time was had when the stad took a quick trip to Cleveland last summer to photograph the pictures of the various stars that follow Joan’s creations. We owe our special thanks to Nancy Riven, Jane Dornbirer, Sue Shidaker, and Rowena Zimmerman for their constant attendance during the Saturday work sessions. The boys who showed films of various stars were Paul Jerman, Bob Backus, Don Korn and Dale Durley. We cannot thank these boys enough for their con- stant edorts to help finance the special record of this yearbook. Without Gary Boucher and his spirited cohorts, who comprised the business stall, this book would not have been possible. Many hard hours of work and tireless edorts were put in by our wonderful advisor, Mr. Glenn Williams. As this was his last year as advisor for the “Card- inal” we want to give him our sincerest thanks for giving us so many ideas and so much guidance along the way. The staff will never forget him as he always worked side by side with us to produce the annual. We don’t believe that any words can sum up his many excellent features and his outstanding character. We cannot thank him enough! As we look back through the “Record of Stars,” the good times are remem- bered and all our troubles are forgotten, our job is done and we sincerely hope that we have pleased each and every one of you.
