541,555 Adfory ln the early fall of the year 1937, sixty-five eager, inexperienced Pioneers set out in a train of cov- ered wagons which they christened the Clip- per. We set our course across the plains, our des- tination, the top of Graduation Mountain. This was a long journey full of hardships and disap- pointments, but we all vowed within ourselves to reach the top in not more than four years. Our first stop was on the banks of the Green River where we built a tiny settlement which we named Freshman Village. We chose as our Chief Adviser, Mr. Barton and under his leader- ship we elected the following officers. President, David Culp: Vice President, Edith Newell: Secretary-Treasurer, Mildred Cotton: Social Chairman, Vtfanda Sheets: Ath. Chairmen, Mary Nell Chaddock, George Gleckler. Our recreation during our stay in Freshman Village consisted of a Wiener roast at the home of Roger Miller, a party and an assembly pro- gram.- Many of the girls joined the Girl Reserves and took an active part in its program. During the year 1938 we had two sad events: the death of Robert Evans and the withdrawal of Keith Poulton because of illness. . We also lost Alan Mierke who left us to go to Erie, Pa. In the spring of 1938 We again took up our journey and traveled until the next September. Then we made another camp which we named Sophomore Town. There we made our Chief Advisers Miss Darrow and Mr. King, a newcomer 'in our group. Our officers this year were: President, Mary Nell Chaddock: Vice President, Robert duBiel: Secretary and Treas- urer, Dorothy Exten: Social Chairman, Ruth Mollenkopf: Athletic Chairmen, Mary Burkle, David Holloway. We chose scarlet and gray for our colors. While in Sophomore Town some of the boys joined the Hi-Y. Our town also took part in all sports and Karl Zellers and George Gleckler were elected for the Tri-County Championship Team. i For our social activities we had a Wiener roast at Ruth Culp's, a party, and an assembly program. After traveling all summer again, We settled in Iunior City. Our Chief Advisers for this year were Miss Darrow and Mr. Walters. Our officers were: President, Ted Detwiler: Vice President, Ruth Mollenkopf: Secretary and Treasurer, Mildred Cotton: Athletic Chairmen, Karl Zellers, Mary Burkle: Social Chairman, Vivian Hum: Room Manager, Bill Peters. This year we gave a play entitled Skidding directed by Miss Darrow. We had our annual Wiener roast at Ruth Culp's, and we sponsored an All-Hi Dance. The biggest event of the year was the Iunior- Senior Prom. The theme was Hawaiian and it was a big success. Another surge forward during the summer months brought us near the end of our joumey but we could not quite make the top of the mountain. Therefore, we built another camp which we named Senior City. Our Chief Spon- sers were Miss Esterly and Miss Darrow. The officers this year were: President, Ted Detwiler: Vice President, Lloyd Coppock: Secretary and Treasurer, Edith Newell: Social Chairman, Iune Hum: Athletic Chairmen, Wanda Sheets, Dave Holloway. This year because we had acquired so much talent during our journey we had two Senior Plays Footloose and Io's Boys V- both under the direction of Miss Esterly. We had our Wiener roast, a Ir.-Sr. Party and were entertained by the Iuniors at the annual junior-Senior Prom. During our stay in Senior City we lost another one of our members, Lois McCurry, who left us to be married. After much hard work and quite a bit of progress we made an early start in our travels and arrived at the top of Graduation Mountain on May 27, l94l. Here we were greeted by our old friends who had gone on before us. But still our journey was not ended. Now we must start to build a brand new life for ourselves and make it a big success. -The Class of l94l

prop ec? Ar Kfcwd of 1941 Clipper C-H-S calling the East Liverpool Review, C-H-S calling Iean Reddington at East Liverpool. Hello, Iean! I'm glad you were permitted to use the special radio set so I could call you from this plane. I'm gathering information for my radio program and thought you might get a good article for the Review from my observations. Iust before we left the Detroit airport, I talked to Georgene Kaufmann and Elfriede Steeb, known as the Rhythm Sisters. At present they are singing at the Trianon ballroom. We are traveling very fast and flying over Toledo now reminds me of Eggs Moore. I-Ie's living here and has either changed his mind about girls or has at last found a girl he can trust. Gee, his secretary is cute! While I've been talking we have been flying to Columbus. The pilot informed me that Emil Kramer just passed us in one of the pursuit planes he's testing Ctodayl for Curtis- Wright, established in Dayton. We are passing over the Ohio State University campus now. The stewardess just mentioned that Esther Prizant is the housemother of the Phi Sig fraternity house here, Goodness, we are flying low! Everything is so plain. Why, I'm sure I saw Bud Morgan behind the executive's desk in the W.P.A. office here in Columbus! Our next important town will be Canton. We aren't going directly over the city but I can see the most important building through my binoculars. We are south of Canton. There's the Canton Sanitary Milk Company. Clinton Howell has his name on the side of the building as proprietor. We are really moving right along. We just passed Salem and Washingtonville is just ahead. Oh, what enormous apples in that vast orchard! Why, that is owned by Winifred Miller. We've slowed down to pay tribute to the dear old home town and will circle around it a few times. I see Roger Miller working as hard as ever in front of the Cities Service Station. Isn't it nice that of all the service stations he owns in this territory, he still prefers Columbiana? We had to gain altitude just now and I see why. It's because of the extra story added to Dave Holloway's Store. But before we rose I saw Ryan Snyder's name in front of McMaster's Market as proprietor. He has about nine trucks behind the store being loaded with meat for distribution throughout southeastern Ohio. I notice Bob Barrow has succeeded his father as owner of the Boiler Works. Passing over the Enterprise, I see that Ted Detwiler has taken seriously his delight to fix girls' hair and has opened a beauty salon next to the office of the Enterprise so he can operate both businesses successfully. Mary Nell Chaddock has evidently persuaded the Athletic Commission to permit inter-school basketball for girls because she's at the high school gym refereeing the Colum- biana game with East Palestine. Now I see Iune Hum is still working for the Bell Telephone Company. Through a skylight l just saw a Woman giving a lecture. lt's Twila Keller, president of the W.C.T.U. Two huge buildings just ahead cover about three acres Can you guess what they are? One is the new Chevrolet Garage belonging to Dick Sponseller and the other one is his mammoth ice arena. ' As soon as I focus the glasses I'll find out what this vast tract of land is. It must be that famous 65-acre farm operated by Everett Coalmer advertising Firestone implements. They say even the cows were bought from the Firestone Farm. Did I mention Bob Gobrecht? I-le has taken over Eber- hardt's Photo Studio. He has a contract with the school for the annual pictures. We are heading north now. Fred Brown ought to be happy down there in North Lima. He is owner, chief executive, and manager of the Famous Wrecking Company. Time passes quickly. So do we! I declare, if it isn't Dick Gaughn giving lessons on safe driving! He gives Fred quite a lot of business though. And in that neighboring building is Pearl Bailey, taking time out from her housework to sing for a safety program. Youngstown is now below us. I've refocused these glasses and I can pick out Harold Firestone supervising a group of electricians at the Sheet and Tube Plant. What an elegant costume has that girl who just came out of the Palace Theater! It's lean Pine, obviously an usher there: and the bright lights announce Gene Krupa's succes- sor, Leo Kissel and his band, featuring Ronnie Hively as soloist and that one-man band, David Culp with his sax, clarinet, bassoon, oboe and French horn. g While I was describing that last view to you, we have been on our way to Cleveland via Akron, and again we lose altitude. There's a man and a young lady in that big office. Why, it's Waldo Schlag, the big executive of the Sta-Put Construction Company and his stenographer is none other than our Iean Hodge. Did Dot Exten say in her last letter to you that she and Ruth Culp like working as assistants to Iane Haggerty, head supervisor at the Cleveland Clinic? I suppose she told you that Wayne Brubaker is dean at Iohn Carroll University. I see the Cleveland Ice Arena now. Abe Zellers is really an asset as goalie for the Cleveland Barons. They play the final game of the toumament with Hershey tonight. There is the Municipal Stadium. A baseball game is in progress and Bill Messersmith, manager of the Cleveland Indians, evidently doesn't agree with the umpire's decision. Believe it or not, Donald Young is in the press box giving a play-by-play description of the game. Well, we've left Cleveland and are nearing Erie. Below is the beautiful estate where Bette Magill runs a home for crippled soldiers from the last war that started way back in 1939. We are over Buffalo and there is the Select School for Girls owned by Martha Yarian. tContinued on page SSD
