CLASS HISTORY After two years of Junior High the eighty-one members of our class still were excited in September of 1950 when we became Freshmen. The teachers who had the task of starting us in on our high school days were Mr. Schafer, Miss Robertson, and Miss Jones. The class elected Gene Kandel, President; Walter Walker, Vice-President; Shirley Brechbill, Secretary; and Delores Moretta, Treasurer. The class roll consisted of Peggy Allen, Paul Ake, Sue Aukerman, Richard Baad, Robert Baad, Judy Barrick, Gladys Barth, Jack Batten, Rosemary Beck, Jerry Bigler, Jim Blose, Nick Boldi, Shirley Brechbill, Mike Bryan, Jim Cable, Joe Calendine, Richard Crawford, Ruth Davis, Catherine Dobransky, Ted Doll, Carolyn Douglas, Dana Dye, Beatrice Eakin, Joe Fabyan, Kenneth Gastin, Eugene Haubert, Dale Henderlong, Madaline Hewitt, Kathryn Hoover, Ronald Iseli, Laurene Jones, Gene Kandel. Carol Kinsinger, Rhoda Kolm, William Lab, Robert Lee, Marvin Lin- bart, Nancy Margo, Robert Marhover, Jeanne Mark, Judy Masters, William Mateer, Ester Miller, Kim Miller, Mari- lyn Mitchell, Marian Mong, Delores Moretta, George Moretta, Richard Moser, Dorothy Mottice, Louis Moulin, Robert Mucha, Mary Ann Muckley. Richard Narduzzi, William Narduzzi, Shirley Nice, Paul Oliver, Ronald Pribula, Janet Ritchey, Herbert Robinson, Rose Marie Scharver, Ruth Seemann, William Slabaugh, David Slicker, James Smith, Barbara Snyder, Naomi Sprankle, Wayne Starkey, Marie Stertzbach, David Thelen, Joanne Tourno, Donna Trego, Carl Unkefer, James Walker, Phyllis Walker, Walter Walker, Dean Wheatley, Carole Wise, Mack Yoho, Neil Yoho, and Wilda Yoho. Our main project for this year was collecting tax stamps in which a contest was held between the boys and girls. The Sophomore year was directed by Mrs. Wagner and Mr. Carman. Our class officers this year were President, Walter Walker; Vice-President, Gene Kandel; Secretary, Shirley Brechbill; Treasurer, Dolores Moretta. We gained many new classmates this year. Among these were James Almasy, Karl Betz, Bonnie Emerick, Joan Wallingford, Stanley Arthur, Patricia Tourno, and Robert Wagner. We are sorry to say we also lost some classmates. They were Gladys Barth, Nick Boldi, Ruth Davis, Dana Dye, Joe Fabyan, Kathryn Hoover. William Mateer, Richard Narduzzi, Paul Oliver, Herbert Robinson, James Walker, and Phyllis Walker. For a money making project we again collected tax stamps. Under the guidance and patience of Mrs. Williams we began our Junior year, one of the most important of all twelve. Our big task this year was to sponsor the Junior-Senior Prom. This was held April 25, 1953 at the Swiss Coun- try Club. We also had a magazine drive in which our class was the first to sell over $1,000 in subscriptions. We held bake sales and parties to help raise the amount of our treasury. Along with Mrs. Williams, the class had the fine leadership of its four officers. They were Walter Walker, President; George Moretta, Vice-President; Shirley Brechbill, Secretary; and Delores Moretta, Treasurer. New class members were Nancy Ledbetter and Patricia Stephonic. Our class lost several members from the Sophomore to Junior year. They were Paul Ake, Richard Crawford, Carolyn Douglas, Eugene Haubert, Dale Henderlong, Madaline Hewitt, Robert Lee, Nancy Margo, Esther Miller. Dorothy Mottice, Janet Ritchey, and Wilda Yoho. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Moody, we entered our last year of High School. Of course, we are proud to be Seniors, but we also regret the fact that this is our last of twelve exciting years as a class at East Canton High School. The officers elected by the class this year were Walter Walker, President; Jim Smith, Vice-President, Shirley Brechbill, Secretary; Delores Moretta, Treasurer. We were sorry to lose two of our classmates this last year. They were Marie Stertzbach and Jack Batten. We also gained a new classmate, Ronald Feioch. The main project for our class this year was our class trip. We went on that long awaited trip to Washington in April. The annual Junior-Senior Prom was held on May 14, 1954. Baccalaureate and Commencement services were held in the High School on May 23 and 26 respectively. Although our days at East Canton are completed, we will always hold dear the memories of those wonderful years gone by. We will always remember the teachers, friends, and classmates we have met. Now we are looking forward to the future and the things it will bring each one of us. Carol Kinsinger Marie Stertzbach Mary Ann Muckley

CLASS PROPHECY Dearwould be interested in knowing that recently I took a trip around the world after being chosen the best Child Psychologist of the year and I either saw or heard about every one of your former students of the Class of '54. . Starting from my home in Hast Canton. 1 first called a taxi whose driver turned out to be none other than DAVID SUCKER who owned the Slicker Cab service. Driving me to the airport he in- formed me that he had just heard that WILUAM SLA BAUGH owned the Brazilian Steel Corp. and was doing a fine job. Arriving at the airport I found that MIKE BRYAN ® be the Wf plane and immediately 1 felt more at ease. Bringing me my first meal was PATRICIA TOURNO. Arriving first in Spain. I decided to go to a hotel, when I noticed a big sign Blose Hotel. When 1 entered 1 spotted the owner who happened to be JAMES BLOSE and when he saw me he gave me the best room in the hotel. He told me that if I really wanted to enjoy myself, to go down to the Spotlite” which was owned and operated by DAVID THELEN The feature attraction for the evening was a tenor. KIM MIUTR. who was the b«t since the Great Caruso. As I leaving I ran into CAROLE WISE who was a cigarette girl for Teak. She told me that CATHERINE DOBRANSKY was punching holes in Swiss cheese in a big cheese plant in Switzerland. Gening on with the journey I went to France where I met BEATRICE EAKIN.who owned a French modeling agency and JUDY MASTERS was her chief model. Bea said she had just heard that PATRICIA STEPHONIC had entered her French poodle in the dog show and had won the Boo-Boo prize. Arriving in Germany I heard ihat PEGGY ALLEN had just become victorious as a German wrestler MARIAN MONG was her manager . After a short chat with Marian 1 found out that BOB BAAD was a Radio and TV Repair man in Australia. Going on to Russia. I met ROBERT MUCHA who was pulling the Iron Curtain. He told me that he had just heard that JUDY BARRICK was married now and was living with her husband. Sam Snyder, in Canada. They had a small son. Sammy Jr. Pressing further along I met ROSE MARIE SCHARVER who was the Lady Ambassador for the U.S. to Russia. She invited me to stay awhile in the Embassy which I did. Later, she informed me that RONALD ISEU was her secretary. She also told me. BONNIE EMERICK was a stewardess in her airforce Leaving Russia I entered China to find CAROL KINSINGER who owned a silk factory. She told me that right next door. JOANNE TOURNO owned a home for old. stray cocoons. After a quick look around. I left there because I was expected at the University of China to lecture on Child Care with the Phychoanalytic Approach. The thing that amazed me most was that WALTER WALKER was a professor of Algebra. After the lecture I went to Canton where I found JAMES SMITH owned the local newspaper. The Chan Depository. My next stop was Hungary where RICHARD MOfER was employed at his own restaurant The Appetite Teaser, his motto was When you're hungry in Hungary, stop at The Appetite Teaser to leave Hungary not hungry” . . . Flying to Iceland, I was quite amazed to see LOUIE MOUUN selling ice boxes to the crazy mixed up polar bears . Going by boat to South America I reached Brazil just in time to see an auction sale. I was overjoyed to sec RONALD FEIOCK as the auctioneer selling Brazil coffee beans belonging to the distinguished bean grower. WAYNE STARKE. After a few brief words with Wayne I found out DONNA TREGO was in Argentina selling Fords. Going further south I ran into MARY ANN MUCKLEY. who was drawing Hires Root Beer advertisement signs. She said she was doing fine and told me to be sure and stop in Chili to see MARILYN MITCHELL who was growing bigger chili beans than ever before. Heading North I stopped off in peru only to see JAMES ALMASY who owned the Almasy Peruvian Bank. His chief teller was ROBERT MARHOVER. Moving on to Panama I met SHIRLEY BRECHBILL who was making Panama hats there. From there I entered Mexico, where I met ROSEMARY BECK, who was training bull fighters. She told me that TED DOLL was her best student at the moment, and GENE KANDEL was furnish- ing the bulls. Arriving in Texas I first passed a big dude ranch. A sign in front said. Triple K Bar Ranch. Investigating further I found that it was owned by NAOMI SPRANKLE. and her foreman and trouble shooter was none other than KARL BETZ. They had not been having much trouble with rustlers lately because NEIL YOHO had just been elected the new sheriff and his newest deputy was JEAN MARK. Karl told me that RUTH SEEMANN had just been selected representative of the National Holstein Association. Cutting over to Virginia, I met BARBARA SNYDER who was calling square dances at the Virginia Theatre. She told me. after a very wonderful performance, that JERRY BIGLER was painting stripes on prison uniforms at Sing Sing Prison. She also said that JAMES CABLE and RICHARD BAAD had just pur- chased the Cleveland Indians and they had iust won their first game. Going up through Washington I spoke to GEORGE MO RETT A who had just designed a Rocket to the Moon. He said he had just heard from NANCY LEDBhTI ER who was doing quite a business with her Moonshine still. George also said DELORES MORETTA was just elected as Congress woman. Upon entering Indiana I noticed the KOLM radio station and soon I realized that RHODA KOLM owned it. I stopped to chat with Rhoda and just as soon heard that CARL UNKER- FER was one of her finest radio commentators she had never had. Going on up to the Great Lakes I rode in a Big Ocean Liner called the NARDUZZIC. The name sounded familiar and the owner turned out to be one of my best classmates. WILLIE NARDUZ2J. We had a very good time reminiscing and he informed me that another old friend. MACK YOHO was working for him on the boat. Willie told me he had just heard two people talking on the boat and one said that MARGARET ROBINSON had just struck oil in Turkey. My next stop was in Toledo, Ohio and I saw SHIRLEY NICE right away. She was a police- woman. She was very glad to see me, so she said, and told me she had just stopped an old friend for speeding, JOE CALENDINE. After chatting shortly she let him go . . he was the Police Chief in Columbus, but he was late for a Bored” Meeting. On my trip home I met LAURENE JONES in the Pribula Foods whose owner was RONALD PRIBULA. another classmate. He has a few restaurants and Laurene said she was a steady customer in this particular one. Laurene plays basketball at Kent State University and likes it very much. Well, Mr. Goddard, as I climbed into bed that night I came to realize that I had heard about or seen everyone of my former classmates and your graduating class of '54. Of course, it did not surprise me a bit to learn they are all big business men and women, and I think you will agree with me. that it was a rare and exciting class. Well, I must close for I have to prepare a lecture for tomorrow. Sincerely yours, Susie Aukerman »
