Wilhelm ln appreciation of her endless patience, help- ful interest, and dependable assistance throughout our high school days, we gratefully express our appreciation to Wilhelm with this dedication. THE SPARK Administration F. R. Narragon, Superintendent Ohio Northern University, B. S. in Education Ohio State University, M. A. As the end of this first post-war school year approaches, we are all happy to see many students and former students of this school returning to normal activities after having given generously to the vast effort needed to win a war. The task ahead is no less important than the one behind us. Each student and each alumnus is con- fronted with the duty of contributing all within his power to bring every activity of our school, city, state, and country - even of our world 3 to a normal state of progress and a proper state of spiritual and material advancement. Grasping greed, selfish disregard of others, rights. intolerance among groups about us and among nations of the world, are stumbling blocks in the way. How can the Class of l946, or any of the classes to follow. better justify its right to exist than by making through its members a contribution to the right solution of the problems now confronting our battered world? No one leader will oller all the right answers, but a united nation of intelligent workers for righteousness will be an unconquerable agent for peace and progress. The power and influence of any one of us may be slight: the Christian might ol' all ol' us can be tremendous. Mr, Narragon. THE SPARK Administration J. L. McBride, Principal Mt. Union College, A. B. University of Wisconsin, Ph. M, We, here in Leetonia High School, are interested in many things. Our objectives are many and varied. We are interested in scholarship and in making a fine scho- lastic record. We are interested in athletics, and strive to have the very best athletic program possible. We desire dramatic productions of quality. We are interested in music and we are proud of our musical organizations. We want our school to be beautiful and have, during the years, surrounded it with trees and pretty lawns. Most of all, we are interested in the kind of boys and girls we are, and of the kind of men and women we will bc. We want our school and community to be friendly and sincere. We want interesting and interested citizens working to- gether. VVC realize such ideals will be accomplished only if we achieve our best, and practice now as young people in school, what we must do later as adults in the community. Mir. McBride. lllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Amy C.

Getting acquainted with the group of boys and girls who had come from St. Patrick's School, the class waited until December lst to hold the first class meeting. Under the direction of Miss Sheppard and Mr. Leever, our sponsors, we elected our officers. Pat Mancuso was elected President, Mike Salvino, Vice President, Guy Beltempo, Secretary, Lee Todd, Treasurer, and as our representatives for Student Council, we elected Dale Klingensmith and Arlene Clark. After much discussion on which colors blended well, green and white were finally decided upon as our class colors. A white carnation was to be our class flower. The next problem was to think of a suitable motto. Finally Dale Nichols offered With the spark of the past, we will light the flame of the future. We all liked this and the motto was quickly accepted. Remembering that the prom was only two years in the future, we, as Freshmen, began to raise money. Two skating parties and a few candy sales were supported by the whole school and the proceeds started our bank account. The 77 Freshmen were reduced to 68 irrepressible Sophomores. Miss Graham, Miss Joerndt and Miss Wilhelm were our sponsors and managed to guide us safely through the year. To get business under way, we elected class ofiicers as follows: President, Pat Mancuso, Vice Pres- ident, Lee Todd, Secretary, Guy Beltempog Treasurer, Marian Mellinger. Student Council Rep- resentatives were Arlene Clark and Dale Klingensmith. Our social activities were becoming more important as our second year in high school pro- gressed. October 19 was decided upon as the date for our first hayride. As the day approached, the weather became worse, but we continued with our plans anyway. In spite of the dark clouds all who went had one of the nicest times of the Sophomore year. Still trying to raise money, we again sponsored two skating parties as they seemed to be popular with the high school students. Taking another step in our social careers, the Sophomores decided to start plans for the annual All-High Party. We had a very good time at this party and remember it as one of the most successful during our high school days. The Hrst attempt at dramatics was made by several of our girls belonging to the Girl Re- serves in the play, 'fPolly Put the Kettle Onf' Others had parts in the history pageant. Hard work took up the rest of our time as the curriculum seemed to get more difficult as the years went by. The years 1944-45 found 52 jolly Juniors all together in Room 73 with Miss Wilhelm as the home room teacher. Ofhcers elected were: President, Pat Mancuso, Vice President, Dale Klingensmith, Secretary, Arlene Clark, Treasurer, Marian Mellinger. Since we were upper- classmen, we elected three council representatives for the two ensuing years. Arlene Clark, Dale Klingensmith and Bill Halverstadt were chosen to fill these positions. There were many activities to brighten the year for the fun loving Juniors, and also many jobs to keep us busy. With the prom only eight months away, we really got busy to raise enough money to have a memorable one. First there was a skating party, then came the selling campaign. We sold at football games, and also pennants, beanies, Christmas cards and all at- tempts were profitable. Then came our Junior play. Most of the juniors had very little acting experience, but under the able direction of Miss With, we worked hard to make our comedy, Brother Goose a success. In our search for a good time, we attended a Junior-Senior Sweater Dance, the All-High Party and the other activities sponsored by the organizations in the high school. THE SPARK Class History Q Continuedl The highlight of the year came May 5, the night of the long awaited prom. We really had a wonderful time dancing to the music of Shy Lockson. We really had worked hard to hide the gymnasium nUnder A Starry Sky. Much of the praise for the success of our prom belongs to Miss Wilhelm who was the impetus behind the whole affair. The end of May and our Junior year came to an end all too soon. We all remember that year as one of the best. September 7, 1945, the diminishing class of 1946 gathered together as Seniors in Room 71 and 76 with Miss Wilhelm and Miss Kearney as home room teachers. Election of officers brought the following results: Dale Klingensmith, President, Guy Beltempo, Vice President, Bill Halverstadt, Secretaryg Marian Mellinger, Treasurer, ,Ioan Laughner was elected to Hll the Student Council vacancy left by Arlene Clark who had moved to Arizona. During the past three years there were 29 of our original 77 pupils who left us either to mar- ry, to go to another school or to enter the Armed Forces. As the year progressed, several ex- servicemen returned to finish the school year with us. This year kept us busy with as many activities as we could arrange. We sponsored the first All-High Party November 30 of the year and together with the Juniors, held a Sadie Hawkins Dance on October 19th. After much procrastinating, we finally got started on our annual. It was decided that the class pictures would be taken by the Johnson Studio in Lisbon. january 28 and 29, we were excused to have our pictures taken and the following Thursday our proofs were ready for us. The second semester found us helping to organize many of the activities which had been discontinued during the past few years. The first activity of the semester was an All-High Dance, the first ever held by the school. Other dances were enjoyed after Friday night basketball games. On April 25, we presented our Senior play under the direction of Miss Kearney. The play was entitled The Sunshine Twins, and included in the cast: Larry Duco, Marian Holt, Marian Mellinger, Bill Halverstadt, Dale Klingensmith, Becky Townsend, Bob Kornbau, Helen Briggs, Pat Mancuso, jean Gabriel and Joan Laughner. May soon came, and with it the Prom. This time we were the guests and we all appreciated the Juniors, work and worry that goes into a prom. Everyone had a wonderful time, but the Seniors were beginning to realize that their high school life would soon be in the past. With the selection of Commencement Announcements, the Seniors began thinking about com- ing activities. Class Day was May 17, followed by the Baccalaureate Service May 19th. And then Commencement, May 23rd H the biggest event of the year. Leaving the school and many of our friends was harder than we expected and thus we ended our careers in Leetonia High School.

I traveled by rocket. My pilot, Dale fOmarl Nichols, drove cautiously for the light from the stars was glaring on the Platiluminum metal of the ship and almost blinded us at times. The first planet on which we stopped was the Cutchellano, named after that famous wo- man explorer, Mary Ellen Cutchall. Being tired and hungry from our long trip, we stopped at the Wilkinson Wayside Inn where Virginia served us the special Fiscus Biscuit named after that cookery expert Donna Mae Fiscus. While glancing through the newspaper, I found that a new king of the Planet was being chosen. It was none other than Bill Halverstadt the First. Dale Klingensmith, his scientific expert, had invented a chemical called Klingoxide that would take excess weight from fat peo- ple and add weight to skinny ones. We decided to listen to the radio and imagine our surprise when we heard Jean fHuttonl Gabriel singing, Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief to the accompaniment of Tom Reese's orchestra. After resting, we explored the town some more and discovered that Fred Dominic was doing very well in the Recreational Business. It seems that he has recreation centers all over the uni- verse. While talking to Fred he told us that Arlene and Korney were married and living on the planet right next door to Lee Todd and Dora Conkle. As we were leaving Fred's Recreation Center we ran into a group of servicemen who seemed very engrossed in their conversation. After a second look I saw that two of them were former classmates of mine - Admiral Vestal and Sergeant Sposato. While talking to them we learned that Becky Townsend was married to Francis Perry and that they were successfully rearing their own basketball team. Also. we learned that Al Cox was playing Romeo in a neighborhood theater with Mary Baulo as Juliet. After seeing and hearing these things we decided to leave this planet and continue to our destination. The next planet we stopped at was Klinker, named after Lettie Klink. While I was there, I ran into Shirley Dejane who is the chief reporter on a newspaper edited by joan Laughner. Shirley says that Marian Mellinger really puts their paper out in a hurry since she got her new printshop equipment. Shirley told us that Marian Mellinger also was busy setting up the type for Marie GriHith's book How To Be Cultured which promises to outsell anything Emily Post ever wrote. Shirley said that Marie and Goldie Guidley, who is now a dress designer, are still great friends. She also told us of the promotion of Dave Fenstermaker to the presidency of the Wolfing Club. All he did was howl a little and he got his promotion. When I returned to the ship I found that Margaret Snow and Amelia Stancato had cleaned it well and filled our supply chest with delicious pre-cooked food. I left this planet wondering about the remainder of my classmates and I stopped on the moon, which was our last stop, I became determined to find out. As I walked down the street I met Alice Tolp and Helen Briggs who were secretaries to the new king, Halverstadt the First, whom I mentioned before. They were in a terrible hurry, but they told me that there was a fortune teller in town and that perhaps she could give me the information I desired. While trying to find the fortune teller, I stopped at a house and who did I find but Marian Holt and George Lance. They, too, were in a terrible hurry, so they directed me to Madame Knows It All and I departed. At the large sign of Madame Knows It All, I entered and found myself confronted by a familiar figure in typical fortune-teller garb. Soon I remembered the face and spoke. Sure enough, it was Pauline Bell. She told me that Josephine McNeely is the owner of an Isaly's Store and that she has a special singing cook, Glen Bailey. Also, she showed me THE SPARK Class Prophecy Qflontinuedl crystal-ball movies of the game between two professional teams at L. H. S. stadium. The op- posing coaches were Pat Mancuso and Guv Beltempo with Larry Duko as referee. It was really some game. Finally I took leave of Madame Knows It All to Find a little recreation. After a short search, I found, by the help of Don Bell's famous ads, the Roller Rink. Just as luck would have it, Jim Warner and Vera Waggle were giving one of their breath-taking skating performances that night. I went to my hotel in a daze of crazy spins. At the hotel, I met Jim Carlisle, the ele- vator boy who said that Paul Eskay was the owner of the hotel, and that Clarence Carter was the chef. I went to my room and dressed for dinner. When I came clown I was surprised to see Dick Conkle running around like mad. He was having trouble with his trained dogs. Paul wouldn't let him keep them in his hotel so he was being ejected. In the dining room I was met by the hostesses, Patty Stoffer and Doris Walker who told me that Helen Hinerman was now married to Eugene Eyster and that Verda Roller owned a skating rink.

Since then, through all the trial and strife Of any studentis High School life We've done our best for Leetonia High, Without one tiny reluctant sigh. At times we've left the straight and narrow path, just as sometimes, we neglected our math, But never far nor long to stray Always to return to that long and narrow way. After four long years of study and fun, The end of it all has suddenly come. We're seniors now and it,s time to go But we wish before we leave that you might know, Weive loved it here and we must confess Our hearts will long remember L. H. S. THE SPARK Class of I947 Row 1-B.

The Bears downed all of their foes with the exception of Columbiana. This was one of the nightmares of a scoreless game we all dream about but hoped never would come true. Leetonia scored 346 points to their opponents' 72. This is a record any team and school can be rightly proud of, which we are sure we all are. Pat Mancuso, on left end, and Fred Dominic in the backfield, were high scorers for the sea- son with 80 points each. Larry Duko and Guy Beltempo are next with 73 and 68 points respec- tively, which is good in any man's language. Guy Beltempo and Dale Klingensmith were the eo-captains who led this fine team through such a successful season under thc coaching of Mr. Mather. Jim Driscoll has been chosen by his teammates to hold the position of captain for the 1946 season. We wish jim Driscoll, Mr. Mather and the entire team all the success in the world. lllllllIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllHllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIlllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIlllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIlIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Row 1-Fenstermaker, Zimmerman, Mancuso, Stumpo, Duko.
