History of the Red Cardinals ifggxk Let's go back to September of 1946. It is a cloudy and windy day. The wind whistled through the near-by buckeye trees. On the door-step of Clay High, it de- posited 150 flashy red cardinals-the freshmen-to be developed into the finished product. That was the year when our hearts were set on anything but school work. Our minds were floating across the skies with the 'Ohio clouds. The breezes from Lake Erie carried our voices into the corridors of Clay High. Alvin Bargahiser, Don Mercer, Mary Klebold, and Bonnie Sibberson were elected class officers. The weak and small voices that were heard in Student Council belong to ou.r freshman representative, Janyce Blessing, Alvin Bargahiser, Neal Crews, and Jeni Szuch. Our advisors were Miss Boles, Mr. Needles, Mr. Huyck, and Mr. Schaller. By the second year, the flashy cardinals had quieted down. We devoted most of our time to our studies, and had very little spare time. The year passed without too much excitement. Robert Wisdom, Jacqueline May, Bonnie Phillips, and Robert Breese served as class officers. The Student Council representatives were Lois Higley, Don Mercer, Clara Donelly, and Ruth Schumaker. Our new class advisors were Mrs. Mahoney, Mr. Potter, Mr. Berkey, and Mr. Wallace. 1948 saw us as juniors. What a changed group we were! We were still studious, but many outside activities burst upon us. We gave our junior class play, Salad Days, in November. The junior-Senior Prom high-lighted our spring activities. Our class officers were Robert Breese, Nancy Hauter, Lois Higley, and Joyce Seeger. The voices that were once weak in Student Council had strengthened. They were the voices of Mary Klebold, Lois Higley, Bonnie Sibberson, Loral Browning, and Colleen Stith. The class advisors were Mrs. Fern Ray Morse, Mr. Greenler, and Mr. Pyle. At last, we were Seniors. The last pages of our high school education have been written, This year, the wind has murmured Well done, flashy cardinals. Go forth and take your place in the worldf' as it went through Clay High. We have made this our most happy and profitable year. Robert Wfisdom, Wayne Fox, Barbara Koesterr, and Barbara Bowers were our class officers. Loral Browning, Alvin Bargahiser, Colleen Stith, Mary Klebold, Lois Higley, and Bonnie Sibberson were our Student Council representatives. Miss Bodle, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Huyck were the advisors for the best students in Clay High. For, after all, we have attended Clay High for four years. 14
