Background

This edition of the Worthington High School “Cardinal” yearbook was produced in war time. As such, resources were scarce and a high quality production of the yearbook was not created. Ray Heischman was principal and Harold C. McCord was superintendent of Worthington schools. The yearbook features class photos of students for grades ten through twelve and brief biographical sketches of seniors. It also features group photos of faculty and staff, as well as students, clubs, activities and sports.

In 1945, Worthington High School was housed in the Packard Annex, which had been built in 1916 and served as the high school until 1952 when a new school was built to accommodate the post-World War II population boom. Designed by Columbus architect Frank Packard, the Annex is the current site of the Peggy R. McConnell Arts Center.

Worthington High School had published yearbooks in the 1920s and early ‘30s under the title “The Oracle.”
