Haas - F Ity Ad Foreword All too soon that short span of four years in high school is completed, and with each advancing year some of us leave the alma mater to go out to take our places in the realm of life. It is with this in mind that we, the staff, present to you the 1940 Crescent. In its tinterl pages you will find light and dark shades that spell a word or make an image. They Will give you a pictorial and Written review of each of the more important events of our high school life. By always keeping this book near us, the memories of our school days need never grow dim, for we may again encounter our acquaintances of youth by turning the pages of our 1940 Crescent.

Pages 87-128 The Goddess, Minerva It is said that Jupiter one day suffered from a severe headache which no remedy alleviated until he bade Vulcan cleave his head open with an axe, whence sprang Minerva, full grown, attired in glittering armor, flourishing a spear, and intoning a triumphant song of victory. The goddess presided over peace, defensive warfare, and needlework. She routed the obscure deity called Dullness, who ruled the world at that time. Minerva was the goddess of the lightning and thundercloud, which was symbolized by her breastplate of goatskin, the Aegis, whereon was fastened the head of the Medusa, the Gorgon which turned to stone those who looked upon it. The Latin name Minerva is akin to the Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin words for mind. Not only was she the goddess of wisdom, but also of skill, of study, of spinning and Weaving, of horticulture and agriculture. She protected cities and people sacrificed oxen and cows to her. She created the olive tree which was sacred to her, as were also the cock, the crow, the owl, and the serpent. No more fitting symbol could be chosen for the theme of this annual than Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, to whom has been attributed the name of the town and the high school. As one leafs through the pages of this 1940 Crescent, one will see the goddess, Minerva, viewing the various activities of the school. As her name is derived from words meaning mind, so does this book take its origin from mind, for it is a result of painstaking effort, meticulous skill, and profound contempla- tion, all of which are attributes of Minerva. This volume is a perpetual memento of the wisdom gained in its many ramifications by those who have attended the Minerva High School for four fruitful years. Lastly, it is significant that the goddess who presided over de- fensive warfare and peace should be chosen for the theme of the CRESCENT, a book published while defenseless countries are in supreme need of protection. It is the earnest prayer of every Christian in the world that by the time of the publication of this annual the wis- dom which this pagan goddess typifies plus the love for our fellowmen which the great Teacher Himself lived and preached will have brought an end to the human sacrifice which is being perpetrated today. MISS MARJORIE PATTERSON Dedication In appreciation of her friendly interest, her Willing cooperation in many activities, and constant help- fulness, We, the Class of 1940, dedi- cate this issue of the Crescent to our adviser.

University of Pittsburgh Minerva has done her duty when her graduates are prepared to enjoy life at its fullest. Day in and day out existence without a purpose is drudgery but when a definite goal is in sight and all efforts are culti- vated toward that goal then living becomes worth while. The biggest task of the public schools is to guide pupils until they determine and define their destiny in life. The Class of 1940 is proof of her devotions.

And now we know this year's our last. But when our way through life we tread. We'l1 think of you and what you said. Your thoughts so kind and guidance true l'm sure will help to see us through. As we glide along the stream of life O'er rocks of temptation through valleys of strife The tests and trials we meet will tell If we've practiced what you taught so well. We're happy and sad that this year's our lastg The remainder is rushing on, oh, too fast. The class of '40 extends to you Its hand in thanks and to bid you, Adieu.

They've mastered high mathe- maticsg They've conquered botanyg Their art in handling Virgil ls a pleasing sight to see! Their knowledge is completed As far as they have gonep To some. this signifies the end: While others travel on, Thev seem to us the greatest! Whom we shall ne'er forget, But to a world of cultured men They are but children yet! JUNIORS Be strong, oh faithful comrades? Pause not for trivial fung The journey's almost over. The battle almost won! So far. you've proved you're worthy Of wisdom's fairest lightg Don't give up now, just when Your precious goal has con sight! ic- in Be strong. and be among those W'ho make the final test! For onlv those who finish What they start are truly blcst! Look at your comrades near you: Their happy voices ring! Their eyes are filled with eager- ness At what the year will bring! SOPHOMORES Many times neglected: Yet always there to serve. Many times not given credit You so well deserve. Although of true importance, Not recognized as such: Too often you are overlooked Wlien praise would mean so much! And so, because of this, you need A character that's trueg One that's strong, yet gay and bright, To guide you safely through. But just because you're inhe- tweens. Don't rush your schooldays on! linioy your youthful comrade- shipsg Too soon, they'll all be gone! FRESHMEN Shy, yet carefree creatures, Uncertain what to do, The future of our school ls being handed down to you. Upon this first important year. You must begin the base Of wisdom's statue: and each year You'll carve a larger space. Still have your pleasures while you may: Don't give up all for fame. For, once your childhood slips away T'will ne'cr return again. Some day, you'll take the seniors' place. Still through these trying months Our sympathies are with you.

Class Flower: Red Rose Class of 1936-37 1937-38 1938-39 1939-40 THE GODDESS MINERVA REVIEWS THE CLASS OF '40 One hundred fifty freshmen entered Minerva High School in the fall of 1936. Miss Marjorie Patterson was chosen class adviser. This group gathered for a gay, Freshman party on Febru- ary 6, 1937. When the class of '40 reassembled as Sopho- mores, they soon began gaining recognition for themselves. Several members joined the ranks of the Lions, and others were active in literary and debate. An evening of fun was spent aboard the S. S. Sophomore, pleasure launch. As Juniors, this class proved to be outstanding in both scholastic and social activities. The por- trayal of Shirt Sleeves discovered definite dramatic talent among members of the class. One of the highlights of this social season was the dance sponsored by the Junior class, in honor of the football team. The colorful Merry-Go- Round Prom climaxed a brilliant year. Seniorhood. The class of '40, who such a short time ago entered Minerva High School as Fresh- men, sees the end of their high school approach- ing. No effort was spared in making the last year the best. One of the outstanding events of this year was the Annual Holiday Dance featuring the orchestra of Harry Grunau. The Seniors were also hosts at the Gobblers' Hop and the Gala Autumn Dance. A talented cast brought honor to the class by the presentation of The Ghost Flies South. The class of '40 assumed the responsibility of publishing the Crescent. The year ended all too soon with an impressive Com- mencement service, in which ninety-six Seniors were awarded diplomas. 1940 ep'- EDDIE ANTONACCI Commercial M a j o r s: Commercial, English, lndustrial Arts: Minors: Science, Social Science: Sportsmen's Club 3.4: Sergeant-ab Arms 4.

You can't help but be entertained as you become acquainted with the delightful personalities of the main characters. They are the humorous Mr. Paul Schofer, adviser of the Freshies, the lovable Miss Dorothy Beckman, adviser of the Sophiesf' the jolly Mr. I. J. Miller, adviser of the Juniors, the sophisticated Robert Crouse, President of the Freshmen and Sophomores, and the dignified Francis Pariso, President of the Juniors. There is fun and excitement for young and old alike. packed in the chapters describing the dance, the play, and the parties given by the class. When you read about the Kid's Party that was held in March, 1939, it will bring back memories of your childhood days, the play, Second Fiddle, will hold you spellbound as it did the audience when it was presented December 6, 19393 you can prac- tically hear the haunting refrains of the orchestra as you read of the dance sponsored by the Juniors March 15, 1940. All books must have their villains and this one is no exception. They take the forms of algebra, chemistry, latin, and geometryg however, most of the characters are able to conquer them and they sink slowly out of the pic- ture as the end of the book draws near. The Junior-Senior Banquet is the grand climax of the book which is as you have guessed, a happy ending. -Reviewed by Janet Shively and Jane DeWalt ... -on M 'Q-I .1 8? .af :Q W 5 ,x '15 -' W : N .25-3 K t if , tw Q fri ' T 3 5' E' y 1- ,111 117-Y -ie, I I x ft A it at A in i Y S I V E I 'f 5' ' gf - 5 3 13' ' ' my r 1' -2 an .'

Hurry George Faculty Adviser ,- - Mr. H, P. Smith Unc ol' the hopes for better higll schools in the future rests upon thc IllUIlllH5l'H ot' the National Honor Society. Appealing to the sense ot' j.Z'l'illll,llll0 for educationztl benefits received, to the feeling of growth toward higher ideuls, and to the hope of developing fruitful personalities, the National Honor Society endeavors to develop these feelings so that, as citizens and people of responsibility in later years, the elected members will exercise an influence that will uplift the secondary institutions of our land. Stzirting in 15121 with the g.:'1'zu1ti11g' ot' Chapter Number Une to Fifth Avenue High School i11 l,ltlSlJlIl'5.'fll, Pennsylvziniu. the National llonor Society has grown steadily, and ln re ure more than 2400 chapters in every State of the Union. There are also Kit o lluwuii and the l'l1illipines. lolluyt 2 , laipters in Puerto , , National Honor Society Scholastic Ambition The National Honor Society should be the goal of every boy and girl in Minerva High School. It is known that there are certain definite restrictions placed on ad- mission to the organization but this should only further increase one's ambition to attain his mark. High honors come at high prices and cannot be bought by scanty effort or false hopes. It has been said that the best things in life are free but this is only a half truth. The air we breathe and the earth We live on are common to all While hard work and determination are known only to a few. lt is a simple law of nature that we cannot get more out of a machine than we put into it and if the efforts we put into our school subjects are small, then the results should not be disappointing. As we sow, so shall we reap. Contrary to some opinions, membership in the Nation- al Honor Society is not based entirely on scholarship. The applicant must be in the upper fifteen percent of the Senior Class or the upper ten percent of the Junior Class. In addition, the candidate must be a good citizen and must be a participant in some other activity in school besides his studies. The present membership embraces class officers, club officers, club members, football and basketball players and all other departments of the high school. The old adage again applies: if a person Works dili- gently and succeeds in one field, he will likely be able to succeed in another if he chooses. Success in high school is highly predictive of success after graduation. Success after Commencement is likely indicative of good work back in school days. --H. P.

Their motto is Sportsmanship-Citizenship, Today and Tomorrow. The interests of the boys in the club are varied. Some of them are enthusiastic hunters: others are devotees of fly-casting, bait-casting, or just ordinary fishing, Some enJoy camping, others. hiking. Since all are lovers of nature, the club members are interested in the czonservation of our natural resources, particularly wildlife and game. The activities of the club a1'e as varied as their interests. Six outside speakers have appeared before the club this year to give illustrated talks on such subjects as bear hunting in Pennsylvania, deer hunting. duck hunting in Canada, canoe trips in Canada. conservation of game and wild life. baseball, and other allied sports. The club sponsored an unusually fine assembly, depicting outdoor lite. The members honored their dads with a rabbit supper, for which 58 were present in all. The club has a library of sports magazines which are purchased with the dues l systematically among its membership. Sportsmenfs Club rf E.

These include four different typesg namely, vocational, athletic, scholastic and social. Repre- sentative of these types are the Future Farmers and Homemaking clubs Whose chief interests are vocationalg the Sportsmen's Club and G. A. A. which promote ath- letics, the National Honor Society and the Biology Club, Whose aim it is to encourage high scholarshipg the Friend- ship and Girl Reserve Clubs and Senior Hi-Y and Junior Hi-Y, which aid in the growth of its members morally and socially. The oldest of these clubs is the Hi-Y, established in 1925, and the youngest is the Sportsmens Club, founded in 1938, for boys who are interested in any form of sports. Each club offers to its members an opportunity for educational, moral, and social advancement. Much of the pleasure of our High School life is derived from affilia- tion with these organizations, and they should hold a definite place in our schedule.

A BALL THE SEASON'S SUMMARY The season opened under the lights of Mount Union Stadium with Alliance. Although ilu- Crirnson and Cray warriors put up a valiant struggle, they were outclassed by their larger opponents. 58-0. Minerva then rebounding from their opening defeat, put on an offensive spurt to completely overwhelm Lisbon, 39-0, for their first league triumph. The next game turned out to be one of the crucial games of the year. Playing on a cold and rainy day which pitted Columbiana's great passing attack against Minerva's vaunted ground attack, the teams fought to a 7-7 tie. Columbiana passed to a score early in the game while Minerva plunged to a similar tally late in the game, Sebring was next and were humbled without much trouble I9-7. Then a slightly favored Carrollton eleven was taken over the coals to the tune of 40-l4, Although Carrollton had quite a weight advantage, they couldn't stand up against the Minerva attack. With the winner of the Minerva-East Palestine game having an excellent chance for the league championship, the battle was a natural. But Minerva overpowered the Bulldogs IZ-0, by scoring on a pass and a plunge. llaving beaten hitherto unbeaten East Palestine, Minerva then was the victim of a big game let-down and barely edged out North Canton 6-fl. This game featured one of the greatest goal-line stands in the schools history. Late in the fourth quarter Minerva stopped the seemingly unbeatable North Canton team on Mincrv-a's two-yard line. Showing better form than in the preceding game, W'aynesburg was smothered 38-7. The annual Minerva-Louisville game was played at Louisville this year. l,ouisvillt-'s team was an on and off team, and on this particular day they were Hon, Minerva showing superior football power drove to a score in the first quarter, passed to another in the third quarter, and drove to a final score in the final moments of the game to win 2040, This put Minerva in a position where it needed only a win ln the Cru but in the second activities went to or a tie to become undisputed champions, icial game a big Boardman team showed spirit and power all during the game, quarter Minerva uncorkcd a surprise pass to score a touchdown. All of Boardman's naught as Minerva triumphed 7-0. Thus Minerva became 'ATHE CllAlVlPS, Nlinerva ,.., ...fl .Xlliance ...... ........,..,.. 3 B Minerva East Palestine ,.

His absence was noticeable after he became ineligible at the age of 20 years. He has sl1ow11 his wares for the last time and will be greatly missed. TONY MAZZAFERRO-Senior Tackle This was 'l'ony's fourth and l'inal year as a regular. yet truly his greatest. lle was the cornerstone of Minerva's great. line. a standout on offense as well as on defense. Tony used bull-like maneuvers in overpow- ering his opponents. He equalled the league record by being placed on the first. team of the all 'l'ri-County League team for his third consecutive year and was rightfully honored as captain of this eleven. His shoes will be hard to fill next year. GEORGE LOGAN-Senior End Milt was an excellent pass receiver as well as :1 good defensive player. He was easily the most conscientious player of the team and a great team player. He also has checked in his suit for the last time. ROY NEWSHUTZ-Senior Tackle Roy. although hampered by injuries. was always in the thick of the fray and was an important cog in the forward wall this year. Roy is a Senior and has finished his High School gloriously. 'ANCIENT' T K 'T a5tfi.'4y-T? .. . l RICHARD SHEARER-Junior Halfback Dick was not so speedy but very pow- erful when he car1'ied the hall. He was a standout as defensive halfback. always hindering the opponent's plan of attack. Dick should become one of the best line- plungcrs next, year. BRUCE LEYDA-Junior Guard Turk was the running guard ol' the team and defensive center, He excels in both, but is at his best intercepting oppon- ent's passes. Turk also received honorable mention on the mythical league team. We should expect Turk to play a lot of foot.- ball next year. LEROY MINER-Sophomore End Bogie was the smallest member in the Minerva forward wall. yet he stood out almost. alone a defensive star. He was picked on the second all Tri-County eleven. Only a Sophomore. he will be heard from a great deal for the next two years. HOWARD MARRINER-Senior Lineman Although Ancient was on the squad for two years before he earned l1is letter. he could always he counted on to plug up his hole in the line. He will be missed next. year. ,..T.,. JOHN GUST TELLES-Junior Quarterback Gust was the speed merchant of the backfield. His speed plus his extreme shit'tiness made him o11e of the hardest men in the league to bring down. Gust should ring the bell many times next year. This year he was honored by being placed on the first team of the All-Tri4County Team. JAMES NIAZZAFERRO-Sophomore Tackle Jimi was well on his way to a very successful year when he unfortunately had his arm broken. llis size and experience will be evaluated next year. ARTHUR ELLIOTT-Junior Back Art. although small. was ve1'y valu- able as a passer and a safety man, Ht- should coine to his own pinnacle next year as a regular. JOHN CLARK-Sophomore Back .lohn had very little experience to start the year but he increased in ability as the scason progressed. He will be a great asset to next year's team. WILLIAM COLTER-Junior Halfback Bill played ill the most inconspieuous rlace of the team. that of blocking back. Although he seldom carried the ball. yet a large part of this year's success belongs to Bill. We'll be seeing him next year, plenty BOB 19 if , r , W., 1 .

JOSEPH SPONSELLER-Senior Fullback Joe was the leading scorer of the Tri- Connty League this year. Although he was the line plunger he handled the kicking duties of the team very splendidly. also bat-king' up the line on defense. He rated the fullback position of the All-Tri-County Leagzgne first team. Joe has checked in for the last time also. DALE KEISTER-Senior Guard tThink was as hard a fighter as this High School has produced in many a year and showed up often as the fifth backfield man on the opposing team. Chink has earned two letters and this year was select- ed on the second team of the Tri-County League. Cbink is another senior who has checked in for the last time. fi. ffi ! 1' N' wk 2 MINERVA and the LION The name of the goddess Minerva, known to the Greeks as Athena or Athene, was derived from Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin word for the mind. An institution of learning is particularly fortunate in having for its pro- tectress and guardian a goddess whose attribute is wis- dom. Moreover, it is favored by her glances because she is also the goddess of skill. contemplation, spinning, weav- ing, needlework, horticulture, agriculture, and martial music. During Minerva's reign in the minds of the ancient Greeks she influenced greatly the lives of many gods and demi-gods. One was Hercules, an earthly son of Jupiter. the king of gods. Upon two occasions the beautiful and wise goddess came to his assistance. Once when jealous Juno caused Hercules to become crazed, Minerva knock- ed him senseless with a stone, so that when he regained consciousness he might be rational again. The goddess helped him bring Cerberus from the lower world. This feat was the twelfth and last of a succession of desperate undertakings known as the twelve Labors of Hercules. The first of these labors was the fierce but success- ful combat with a lion that infested the valley Nemea. Hercules has been orderd to take the skin of the lion to the city of Mycenae. The beast's tawny skin. which the victor wore, reflected the rays of the sun and augmented the belief that Hercules was a sun-hero. In cognizance of the fact that our patron goddess was an admirer of Hercules and the quality of which the lion's skin was an emblem, Minerva High School has chosen the lion, the king of beasts, for her emblem in athletic contests. Her hope is that his glowing coat may reflect upon her the rays of good fortune and imbue in her some of the strength of Hercules in her labors Her prayer is that her patroness, Minerva, may endow her with wisdom to accept that good fortune and employ that strength with discretion.

The number of wins and losses do not always show the true merit of a team and although this year's team had a very nice record of 10 won and 6 lost, they turned in a truly remarkable year. Several of their defeats were heart breakers at the hands of strong clubs. They played an aggressive type of offensive ball this year and through this have scored the second-most number of points ever scored by any Tri-County teams in the history of the league. possessing two of the loop's leading sco1'ers. This campaign 1'ounded a very commendable athletic year at Minerva High School, by winning both championf ships. They equalled a record held by themselves and no other outfit. The personage who deserves an untold amount of gratitude for this team's fine showing is Coach James L. McBride. His spirit of enthusiasm helped the students as well as the team to appreciate basketball in its true value. Mac adds this year's to his long string of successful teams which we hope will be endless.

The Lion whose very being commands respect and whose character announces strength and courage, has been perfectly selected to symbolize the courage, the strength and the devotion which the 1939-1940 athletic teams have put forth in attaining the highest goal pos- sible, that of Champions!! As for respect, the student body and the entire com- munity are filled with gratitude and appreciation for such a fine standing as has been bestowed upon us. They are indeed worthy of claiming this regal title, for like the Lion they have always been leaders in battle, courageous in face of danger, and triumphant over all! Very few schools have ever achieved the honor of winning the Championship in both Football and Basket- ball, in the same year, and although we were obliged to share the Basketball title, we are still proud to be among the honored few. Much credit and praise is also due our two splendid coaches: to Mr. Emerson, for his gallant leadership dur- ing the football season, and to Mr. McBride, for his heroic efforts in the basketball season. Words cannot fully express our feelings towards them. And so because of the successful athletic year and the characteristics which these teams have shown, we christen them- The Lions and to them we say All Hail!!

Wlith the crowning of the May Queen. Max- ine Garee, a senior girl chosen by popular vote ofthe girls of all four classes, the program was launched. Typical southern melodies and Stephen Foster com- positions formed the background for the negro dances, Virginia Reels and Quadrilles. which were executed in costume suited to the era of jolly folk lore in the South. The queen reigned over the town as her court parade proceeded to each section and on to the athletic field where the field-meet took place. The usual races and con- tests ensued. The hilarious climax ot' the day was a greased-pig race, in which the holder ot' the pig won the contest for his class and was given the pig as a prize. The queen's procession then left the field led by the band and returned to the high school where preparations were being made for the regal evening dance in honor ot' the queen and her court. Spring and Youth ,Xxx AJ, ' LX gif ?f 3 X' li ,.-fi X BAND This year marked the beginning of a new and unpredictable era in the history of our band under a new and very progressive director, Mr. Kenneth E. Ruckman, who victoriously led the band through the great- est and most successful season in the marching history of our band. Early in the school year the band added much materially to the proper spirit of the football games by attending all the home games, and all but three of those away from home. The band also played at almost all the basketball games, entertaining spectators between the playing periods. Much joy has been given to the townspeople on account of the many public appearances of our band. This was made possible only by the faithful and untiring efforts put forth by the Band Boosters Club. The highlight of the club's achievements for the year was the sponsor- ing of the Collins Festival, the proceeds of which will go toward purchas- ing new uniforms and instruments for the band. Band members who participated in the Stark County Solo and Ensemble Contest Festival were as follows: Clarinet Quartet-Richard Richardson, Betsy McMillan, Frieda Ray and Donna Jean Snook, win- ning a superior ratingg Woodwind Quintet-Annada Dager, Marjorie George, Eleanor Lozier, Donna Jean Snook, and Ronald Rue, winning a rating of superior plus, Trumpet Trio-Kathleen Swank, Mary George, and William Walters. winning a superior plus rating. Soloists participating were William Walters, winning a superior rating, Mary T. McCullough playing a trombone solo and winning a rating of super- ior, and Mildred Dager winning a superior rating with a Xylophone solo. On April 5, 1940 our band reached its climax in the rendition of a very successful spring Concert. The program was very artistically arranged by Mr. Kenneth E. Ruckman and effectively presented with the cooperation of each member. Left to Right - Top Row: Eloise Helymun, Elizabeth W'hitacre. Robert johnston.

A well-chosen cast carried this delightful story across the foot lights to a highly appreciative audience. Shirt Sleeves is a true, domestic comedy. lt is about the Rand family who lives in American society. The family consists of Franklin and Julia Rand and their four children, Donald, Diana, Theodore, and Esther, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty years. Having inherited a modest fortune, Franklin Rand and those dependent upon him have never realized what economy and teamwork mean to the average family. A bank failure precipitates disaster to the Rand publishing busi- ness, and almost over night the family is brought face to face with poverty. The first reaction is that of incredulity, followed by open rebel- lion on the part of Julia, Donald, and Diana. Theodore and Esther, as interesting and resourceful a pair of twins as ever graced a home, fight to the last ditch for the despairing father and are in no small measure responsible for the change of attitude exhibited eventually by the remainder of the family. To add to their troubles, Donald, the social rebel, married Margie Scanlon, the daughter of a notorious law breaker. Into the maelstrom of disorder and bickering comes Margie, fitted through a life of combat to add new blood to a weakened family organ- ism. Against overwhelming odds she turns the tide against Richard Crandall, a suave, mean politician, who would take advantage of the Rand misfortunes to make a fool of Franklin but finally succeeds in planting the family fortune on firm ground at the close of the play.

Anita and Diana Meredith, who had been reared to regard gambling as something of a major vice, decided to gamble on the stock market regardlessg and with beginners' luck they won four hundred thousand dollars. In order to keep Morgan Winthrop, Anita's fiance, from discovering the situation, they invented an Uncle William who had died and willed his fortune to Anita. Because of Morgan and his mother's opposition to gambling of any sort. their discovery of Anita's venture would have placed the engagement in jeopardy. The little lies grew beyond the control of the girls. Most amusing was Grandma Bantry. who had to be convinced that she had a son, William. Mor- gan. growing suspicious, hired actors to appear as partner and wife of the invented uncle and blackmail Anita. Anita and Diana were aided in carrying out their plan by Tyler Rankin and Homer Reed, a lawyer. The latter's slightly shrewish wife augmented the excitement.

The Juniors of Mr. Miller's homeroom are the winner, so they will receive, as their reward, a theater party. This year Crescent sales have broken all previous records. Are the Seniors proud! Who wouldn't be! 383 Crescents is really a record. So Mr. Smith decided to quit playing hookey and come back to school. Any- way we're glad he is back. The Super- intendent of Stark County Schools made the address at assembly. He put the finishing touches to our Courtesy Week. Minerva knocked the socks off of Louisville in a very exciting basket- ball game. History repeats itself. Timken defeats Minerva for the second time. Did you know that we have an orator in our school! Frieda Ray was awarded first place in the Stark County Oratorical Contest. At last Dick Robart has found out where Alberta Filliez lives. Maybe sometime he will go visiting. How about it Dick? Maybe the band will come back to normal again since Mr. Ruckman has returned to school. It seems as though the teachers are taking their turns in being on the sick list. Miss Hazen has decided it's her turn this week. Mr. McBride will have to be good now since his wife is keep- ing her eye on him. How do you like to have your wife teaching school, Mac? New buzzer installed in the Studv Hall. The School Board Members and their wives, and the Faculty and their wives are holding a big party over at the Grade School tonight. Why are all the teachers so sleepy this morning? They must have stayed too late at that partv last night. Minerva girls make a better showing in basket- ball against Waynesburg than the boys did. M.H.S. girls scored 35 points to Wavnesburg girls 33. More pupils ab- sent this afternoon than any other time in the history of the school. Where is everybody? The Juniors certainly have a good broadcasting station. The assembly wit- nessed the first broadcast in which they presented musical numbers, news, sports. and an eration. M.H.S. chalks up another victory by defeating Car- rollton 56-34. Minerva Lions hold their position for first place honors in the Tri-County League by defeating Lisbon 31-24. Abraham Lincoln's Birthday. Leonard Provance is taking good care of Frank- lin Coy's girl friend while Franklin is in Chicago. Will Franklin appreciate this kindness?????? Hi-Y Club will trav- el to North Canton for a joint meeting of County Hi-Y Clubs. Girls, have you seen the new boy in School! He happens to be Ruth Knowles' brother. Bill Roby can't get attention any other way so he upsets a chair in homeroom. Don't forget your school spirit! Buy a copy of The Diary which comes out today. Valentines Day. Even the snow won't keep Cupid away. What attracts Scar- lott to tl1e Senior homeroom? It's not only French is it, Fred? Lost: Mr. Stevens' brief case. Found: Behind the door. Who is guilty? The Minerva Lions came through victorious in their last league game at Boardman. This means that M.H.S. will share the first place honors of the Tri-County League with Columbiana. Mr. Smith reviewed the lives of Wash- ington and Lincoln in Assembly. The speaker of the afternoon was from Czechoslovakia. He gave a very inter- esting talk on life of that country. Have you heard the latest? Jean Mowls is going in for hurdling. She was seen jumping over several seats in the Sen- ior homeroom after school. This was just for a mild practice. She'll be a champion some day. Jane Keister and Junior Richards are just another one of those inseperable couples. Bob Mount has been going around in a daze foi seve1'al weeks. Could it be he's lonesome for Vonnie? Seniors choose caps and gowns. The girls will wear white with a maroon tassel on the cap and the boys will wear maroon with a white tassel. The boys of M.H.S. really proved to Canton Township that they are a good ball club. They went to town the second half and trimmed Canton Twp. by a score of 45-37. No school. Thanks to George! M.H.S. musicians receive supe1'ior plus and superior ratings in the Stark County Literary Contest held at Canton Township, The Freshmen are all excit- ed! Tonight is their first class party. The theme of the party will be built around George Washington's birthday. The girls basketball team falls before Malvern in defeat. Dress rehearsal for the operetta tonight. Bad rehearsal means a good operetta. No school. The teachers go visiting to see how other schools operate. Mr. McBride got some pointers on girls' swimming classes while visiting at Mc- Kinley High School, yesterday. He hopes to use them when Minerva High School installs a swimming pool. The Glee Clubs present the Mikado under the able direction of Miss Cal- vert. The Minerva Lions will play Can- ton Township tonight in the tourna- ment at Akron. Good luck, boys. +,-,,,, .... .... ...... . . -. ., ........- .. ..,.,.-..,...,.+ WATCHES DIAMONDS Watch and Jewelry Repairs Cameras and Supplies XX!

Today ends the con- test for paying class dues in the Senior home room. Has Merrick got a girl? That is a gen- eral question. We wonder! Intra-mural basketball games create enthusiasm. Miss Patterson is displaying a diamond ring but nobody seems to know when the wedding is to take place. Maybe she believes in a long engagement. Ruth Hockenberger fell for Richard Atherton. Now don't get me wrong. He tripped her. The annual spring concert of the band consisted of marches, overtures, and swing numbers. Our band is something to brag about. Bill Morrison states that he would rather sing than eat. Could Miss Cal- vert have anything to do with this statement? What can I do to make Minerva High School better? Bill Gill: Graduate Home Ec. girls have a luncheon. The speaker is Mrs. Stewart McHenry. An observer in Chemistry class picks up a lab manual and says Lester Em- erson. Who's that? The boys' Glee Club sings Now the Day is Over, at 9:00 in the morning. We wonder if they feel all right! The Home Economics Class will send sev- eral delegates to the State Convention at Columbus this week end. The elementary grades hold open house. Some of the girls go to Cleve- land to hear Grand Opera. Test and more tests. Today ends this six weeks period. Mr. Johnson says he expects to see the boys of his Industrial Arts Class work- ing on W. P. A. in about five years. Evidently they don't work hard enough to suit him. What has Mr. Miller been searching for? Oh, just one of his pet lizards which escaped from its cage in -Biology room. Have you located it yet, I. J. M.? Those report cards are out again. Only one more six weeks period and this school term will be at an end. Spring is in the air, and spring fever is popular. Seats in the study hall should be replaced by couches. There is a certain group of Juniors who never seem to have their lessons. Per- haps they have too many club meet- ings. Dictator for a day. Charles P8t6l'S turn- ed dictator while giving a speech in Sportsmen's Club meeting. While speak- ing he had his picture taken by a cam- era fan. What would orphans do in France if they wanted to marry, since their par- ents have to choose their life mate? Anyone having this information please tell Jack Haldeman. Is Owen Hemphill preparing for a ser- enade, since he's been heard singing lately? If so, who's the girl???? Miss Hazen was so excited when The Diary came off the press that she sold her own copy. The Physics class, in studying a Sam- son battery, couldn't get it to register. He must be asleep, said Sponseller. From the looks of things he must be dead, put in Dixson. The Seniors again make the headlines! This time by presenting the Senior Play, The Ghost Flies South. which crowns the successes of the class of '40. A large crowd and a good perform- ance. S.O.S. Mr. Switzer needs protection! He was seen carrying two ball bats through the corridors. Who is he afraid of?????? What member of the faculty turns red in the face from trying to say negli- gible? You might find him in the Physics department.

We drink to the health and well being Of, the greatest team of the years! To mention their victories is useless, llowever some praises are duep And so in a moderate manner l'll try to review them for you. Of course, at the top there's Sponseller, Whose daring feats brought us great pride, He established a championship record tAnd courted his girl on the side i! The next on my list is Fred Scarlott. Whose basketball work was superb! He took all our kidding about his tall frame And never uttered a word! Bob Mount was a foreward this season, And one of the best on the job For all you've contributed to us, Our heartiest thanks to you, Bob! Dale Keister's the next of our teammates, Dependable right from the start, But he couldn't quite keep his mind focused, You see, he had troubles lat heartj! llarry George, has a marvelous record His playing was always the same, That of the highest caliber For HE kept HIS mind on the game! Now Colter, could really play ball ln front of a crowd that he knew But the strange majorettes made him ner- vous, And the cheerleaders bothered him, too! Leyda could always be counted on To give of his best to thc game! He deserves our thanks and best wishes For his help in attaining our fame! Tarbet, the next of the Lions, Is also deserving of praise For he helped us in reaching our goal ln a countless number of ways! Ciunca's the next of our royal lads! And a prince of a fellow is he. And the fine basketball, which he played for our cause: Will go down in our history! Miner, the last, but far from the least, llas also won highest esteem! For the needed support he so willingly gave He merits the praise of the team! And nowfto the Lions' trainer! VVe lay all joking aside: And humbly express our deep gratitude To the Coach of all Coaches, MCBRIDE! Only a word now in closing, For l've said quite enough, it would seem: But l still have just one little message Which l'd like to convey to the team! Teamfalways reniember your motto!

MAY Why is it that some of the Minerva girls like the boys from Malvern so well?? Ask Norene Heath! Both Haas and Miller claim that their off-springs have red hair. What's so wonderful about red hair?? Tomorrow the band and Glee Clubs will spend the day in Canton at the musical festival. Also the Dis t r i c t State scholarship contest will be held at Kent. Have some of the senior girls started a new fad of wearing diamond rings or is it just the result of leap year?? The Senior President, being an eavesdrop- per, was set in the waste paper basket and pulled around the senior home room. If Elwood Plott keeps up his steady run he will soon beat Clark Gable's former record. Have you found any one girl, yet. whom you think will suit you, Elwood? Could it be that Bob Dillon is girl shy? Maybe some of the girls will help you out since this is leap year, Bob. How about it girls? It seems as though one of the members of the junior class is headed toward matrimony. She has taken the first step by securing a diamond ring. Junior-Senior Prom-the highlight of the year. Beautifully gowned girls and neatly dressed boys plus decorations, entertainment, and food equals a per- fect evening. Thank you. juniors. We had a wonderful time and we, the class of '40, hope that next year you will have as fine a prom given to you. Chuck Osborne is always winking at careful. the girls You lzetter be Chuck, or some of the bnys will get jealous. May Day-a very beautiful ceremony in which Maxine Garee was crowned queen by Vera Bonardi. the Maid of Honor. Other attendants were June Vink, Frieda Ray, Shirley Boehm and Kathryn Stoffer. The queen and her court reigned at the field day event held at the athletic field and also the G.A.A. dance held in the evening. I wish I had a sweetheart, says Rob- ert Dixson, they are such lovable creatures. This is leap year, Bob, so be careful. 9 U One would think that by now the fresh- men would know their way around but Robert Logan appeared in French Il class, today, when he should have been somewhere else. Seniors take full charge of their last assembly. Here it is May and teachers are still keeping detention hall for those who break the rules. This is a fine way to spend after school hours on such beautiful days. Bill and Jane, and Donna and Gus are just those inseparable four. Paul Peter- son prefers reading Superman to American History. Maybe he'll be a superman some day. Sponseller is an all around athlete. It's good he is because that's the type Max- ine likes. You got to be a football hero to get along with a beautfiul girl! The freshmen also have puppy love affairs. Arla Sanor and Faye Brandt carry each other's pictures around. Last day for the seniors. This school will certainly be lost without those pleasing seniors. How will it ever get along without them??? Do you think the seniors can make it'?? 6 A. M. is rather early for some but a senior breakfast only comes once in a lifetime. Gee---are we sleepy'?? Final exams. Baccalaureate services this evening. Seniors are attired in caps and gowns for the first time. Elementary school holds commence- ment exercises. Exams. We realize we didn't study hard enough during this semester. Too late now. The teachers put their 'thard hearts on display-the students their ignor- ance-exams. Today is graduation. In caps and gowns of maroon and white the class of '40 closes the last chapter in its high school history. We read on its pages of many happy occasions which will never be forgotten. And now we say good-bye to dear old M.H.S., but the memories which it holds will linger on. Final report cards today. JUNE We find ourselves wandering back to M.H.S. already. The occasion is the alumni banquet where once again we shall meet our former classmates. -1- - -------- -- ---------- - -1- f 'mnpIinw11Tsuf W C7 CD 1Q1 z.z f fffe ffAJA.172cyJ 1i27 Alliz1mfcf,0I1iu 4, ...... - - -A...-X... -----.-- -. 4. 1 2 4 1..,.1..11111111111 COllQI'Ililll2liiUl1S Seniors from llixson SERVICE STATION The Home of Sinclair Products Phone 150W Minerva, O.

The atmosphere was charged with tire, The listeners were tense, The drones were waiting eagerly For Logan to commence! They watched him rising to his feet! They watched him take his stand! They waited there with bated breath To hear his strict command! He slowly wiped his dripping brow And pressed his throbbing head With trembling hands he fixed his tie And this is what he said: Quote: My Friends. we have before us now A grave and serious task! A crisis lies beyond this question I'm about to ask! l've waited many days and weeks, For some enlightening newsg I've longed to hear some student say, But no!! I've strained my ears in vain: My spirits long have fled, My days and nights are filled with figures Running through my head! I cannot eatg I cannot sleep, My head keeps spinning round! My hands are weak and tremblyg My feet f1'eeze to the ground!! I never meant to ask you this, I thought I could be strongg But now my strength is failing. I've stood it just so long! And so I throw away my prideg I beg on bended knee: I pleadingly beseech of you To pay your dues to mc! ! At this last. longing, lingering plea The drones were keenly smote. I'm sure they'll pay their dues now To save their friend!! Unquote! 'l've come to pay my dues'. -'Bette Widener Foo Club THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Head Foo .......... .. ............ ,. ....,,..

Ray Ramser The Foo Club has the distinction of being the youngest society in the Minerva High School. This club was founded in 1884 in China by a Chinese. Tim Foo, to prevent cruelty to beautiful women. This today is the primary purpose of the organization but various coinciding activities have been added. The society is open only to Senior boys. thus insuring a very high I. Q. for scholastic recognition. Underclassmen are give11 the sacred ritual, Society secrets and a very unique informal initiation in order to prepare them to be better Foos. No outside persons are able to get tl1e secrets of this sacred society because they die with those who know them. Those underclassmen who are being groomed for the high positions of the Foo Club are: Robert Dillon, Harry Bolen, Frederick Scarlott, William Tannehill, William Dieringer, Mac Garee, and John Burchfield. +'-- ---- -M- '--- - ---- -----H--- ---- - ---- - ---- - ---- ---n- ---- - '--- - ---- - ---- ---- ' -------- - ------I+ 127 The Leader Again Ex J The Minerva Leader in Publishing in Printing ...
