For your honor and your glory working To you in your duty never shirking Dear Leetonia! Hats off to you, To the Blue and the VVhite. Page Fin' THE FORTY-NIN ERS F OREWORD FOREWORD When we have become old and gray, so old that our very vision is fading away, and we are watching the rollicking time of youth, so that it hurts to see the truth-that we are fading away, we hope that the eyes that once turned to watch youth brotherly and sisterly run, may yet look back, for in this book, as well as we might, we strove to give the aged the light, to chronicle events as they came, to give heart throbs so that they,d appear the same, in any day that we might care to look on the year of high school through this book. So here is the annual preserve it well- for the years its true value will tell. Although scattered, and far apart your classmates will live, you'll enjoy the larks, once called to memory a thousand times, that somehow grow sweeter with the passing of time. Page Six THE FORTY NINERS DEDICATION We, the Seniors of Leetonia High School, Class of 1949, dedicate our Annual to you, Miss Wilhelm, the one person who has put forth every human effort for our benefit. You have worked with us Constantly, shared our good times, and helped us over the rough spots. We know you, not as just a class sponsor, but as a benefactor and friend. We, the Forty-Niners, are proud and fortunate to have had you to share these few years with us. From your viewpoint, helping us solve our minor problems was all in the line of dutyg but to us, the students, your eompetenee and patient guidance gave us renewed inspiration and increased confidence in ourselves far above the immediate accomplishment of the task. -Y The Editor.

There should be no doubt in any of our minds today. as to the path we should travel. because we have been fortu- nate enough, in our twelve years of school, to have as our leader a man who has tried to open to us the gates leading to success. He has been eo-oper- ative, patient, understanding. and always willing to devote his time and effort to what F. R. N arragon . we thought were major prob- Superintcndent of Schools lcmsi We have disagreed, but Ohio Northern University - B. S. in Education in thi' Cfld, WC have f0Uf1d, ohio state University - MA. that he gave the decision he , did because he had our inter- est at heart. He has seen us make mistakes as others have, he evidently felt that President Teddy Roosevelt spoke wisely when he said. A man who never makes mistakes, never makes anything else. We are now prepared to leave Lcetonia High School and make our way into the world as others have. We have been taught definite principles of character and effective living. The foundation has been laid, but the building itself must be constructed course by course. Doubtlessly, we shall face many difficulties but sin- cerity and persistence will lead us to success. We, the Forty-Niners, extend sincere gratitude to you for helping us lay this foundation and for giving us the desire to travel the path of success. Because of your guidance, we are better able to face our private trials and tribulationsg and solve the problems of this fast moving. scientific age with the knowledge that char- acter is essential equipment in every worthy pursuit. V -The Editor. Page Nine THE FORTY-NINERS ADMINISTRATION The S'Forty-Niners are about to make their departure from Leetonia High School and as that day approaches, we look back on these happy days. Foremost in our minds we re- call a man who has had to check over our enthusiasm and point out to us the saner way many times. Although he has not been with us during all our school years. he had been with us dur- ing those most active and often most hectic-Sophomore, Ju- nior, and Senior years. VVe re- member him not only as our principal. whose duty it was to see that our conduct in school i was sociall ' acce table, but al- ' ' ' so as any inspiiiiing teacher, C. H. Aihson' Prmclpal . American Problems whose patience and good sports- manship we shall not easily Mi- UIUOH College - B- S- forget. University of Pittsburgh - M. of Education On leaving Leetonia High School with its many fond memories, we also leave our many classmates, teachers, and friendsg we almost feel that the end has come? but in reality, it is only the beginning. We shall acquire new friends, new exper- iences and new activities. We know that we shall enjoy and profit by these new situations and contacts because of the guidance received by those persons who were interested in us and were willing to give of themselves in shaping our character. We, thc Forty-Ninersf, express our appreciation for keeping us on the right path at all times and seeing that we conduct ourselves as we should. Through the efforts of many at Leetonia High School, we, the i'Forty-Ninersf' are preparing to leave and carry on with the ideas and principles that have been taught us. We hope to make the coming days profitable and useful to others. - -The Editor. Page Ten TTHZFORTYJUNFRS FACULTY V Aw Nmfv fu ' mf--f W !

After eight years of struggling, they finally became Freshmen with 73 brave and courageous '49ers full of determination. Rose Guido was president of the '49ers that year assisted by James Smith, vice president, Phyllis Gilson, secretary, and Eleanor Coppersmith. treasurer. Miss Bailie and Mr. Myers guided the '49ers that year. The American Beauty Rose was selected as thc class flowcrg Old Rose and Blue, the class colors: and To Make the Good Better and the Better Best, the class motto. Wildcat Willie, a one-act play, was the first dramatic experience of several of the '4-9ers at an assembly program. Another task of Freshmen was cleaning up after the All-High Party. Two '4-9ers fell by the wayside during this first year but lanct Fieldhouse, with her tools of knowledge, joined the slowly advancing band. On entering our Sophomore year, we elected James Gibson, president, Mar- lene Tortora, vice president, Jack Kennedy, secretary and William Gibson, treas- urer. Miss Graham and Mr. Myers were our sponsors. With the arrival of the basketball season, we assumed charge of the concessions. Lois Steer and Howard Hoprich joined our lively group while 12 of our pros- pective '49ers fell by the wayside. With the passing of summer, we returned to school to find ourselves Jolly Juniors. Having led us through a successful Sophomore year, James Gibson was again elected president, Marlene Tortora, vice president: Phyllis Gilson was the new secretary and Rose Guido, treasurer. Miss Wilhelm became our new sponsor. The delightful comedy, Love Is Too Much Trouble was presented to an appreciative audience. To add merriment on our journey, we gave the Junior-Senior Prom as the customary farewell for the preceding class. Enhanced by breath-taking decoration, beautifully attired girls in formals, dashing young men and music by Keith Riffle's orchestra, our Prom theme Rainbow Plaza was complete. Having made ample profits on the concessions at the football games, our junior year passed all too quickly. Our secretary moved to California and four of our group succumbed to Gupid's arrows. Kathrvn Bailey and Bill Craig joined us this year.

Under the faithful leadership of Miss Wilhelm, our sponsor, these class officers were elected: james Gibson, presidentg Marlene Tortora, vice president, Shirley Hinerman, secretary, and Eleanor Coppersmith, treasurer. Twelve Senior boys played football, nine of which were on the first team. Senior co-operation is illustrated with the publication of the Forty-Niner. Margaret Sherwood served as editor, Norma Weikart, assistant editor, and Marlene Tortora, business manager. We are on the threshold of our final goal. Our Senior play was presented in April to an appreciative audience. On May 7, the juniors entertained us at the beautifully decorated Junior-Senior Prom. With the arrival of Class Day, we be- gan to count the remaining days in Leetonia High School. We made our second appearance in our Caps and Gowns at the Baccalaureate Services and the days were becoming fewer when we would be referred to as so- phisticated Seniors. With the arrival of Commencement Day, our reward is within our grasp. Henceforth the '49ers will be referred to as Alumni of Leetonia High School. We have reached our goal and foremost in our minds will be the days spent at Lee- tonia High School striving for that goal.

Shirley Hinerman Theresa Lodge Jewel Farmer Wilma Jones Norma Spears Catherine Murphy Page Thirty-Three THE F ORTY-NINERS CLASS PROPHECY CLASS PROPHECY Ho Hum! What a warm day! I guess I'll just sit down a minute ..... My what a smooth highway! Why it is Route 14! I used to live near here but I don't remember such a large city so near by. My goodness! the sign says, fLeetonia Corporation Limit, Population 672,349' and to think that when I grad- uated Leetonia was just a small village. I must drive through this city and see if I can find some of my old class- mates. I'd like to know how they are getting along. Oh! I must watch these stop lights! I almost went through one. I had better park and walk through the business section. Here's a parking lot. The attendant is Ronnie Bush and his partner is Gene Morrow. I was glad to see some of my old friends. They told me it was a good thing I had parked because the police chief is that tall Irishman Roy Driscoll and he's very strict about traffic laws. I left the parking lot and started across the street. On the corner covering a full block was the Stelts Lumber Mills assoeiated with the Duco Paint Company. You've all heard of the Duco Enamel. In their show window is a beautiful pre- fabricated mansion designed by their chief architect William Carlisle. As I was looking in the window the noon whistle blew and Pat Simonds and Joanna Smith came out of the lumber company office. I greeted them and they told me they were on their way to lunch at the cafeteria nearby which is managed by Theresa Lodge and Virginia Young. I didn't want my lunch just then so I continued down the street. I entered the post office next and saw Fred Price, who is the Postmaster, and Lawrence Oliver, who was loading mail sacks onto a truck to be taken to the railroad station. Norma Spears was also working in the Post Office as a clerk but she was out to lunch with her good friend Mary Jo Sevenich, who was a clerk in the Supermarket a few doors down the street. Next I went to the bank. Ernie Rutzky is headman here and Tom Gluck- ner and Ezzie Deffenbaugh stand guard over the thousands of dollars which pass through the bank daily. Wilma Jones and Eleanor Coppersmith are two of the many tellers of the bank. By this time I was a trifle weary and so my next stop was the Sherwood Pharmacy. Peggy certainly is on the gocd side of the high school crowd with her triple dip sodas for only 5c. She was very glad to see me and told me some of the latest gossip. She said that Carol Bell is dancing in a new Television Musical and Jewel Farmer is on tour in Europe with the Metropolitan Opera Company. As I was leaving the drug store I ran into Mert Tortora who used to be a cheerleader at old L. H. S. She's now modeling in the Vestal-Sneddon Department Store which carries the most complete stock in the nation. I walked along with Page Thirty-F01n THE FORTY-NINERS CLASS PROPHFCY nnIannnnnuuunnnnnnnnuuunuuu nnnnnnnnnussnao ununnnnmnnnuu :nunsnunnnnnununnnunu CLASS PROPHECY fCont'd.l her to see the great store. She told me that Patsy Sipe also worked as a model at the store and that Catherine Murphy was the store's nurse. Bernard Briden is the store detective. As we entered, I saw Bill Adams with a white carnation in his lapel which told me that he was head floor walker. There is Joe Entriken buying a new hat and Howard Hoprich is the clerk waiting on him. The store also contained a beauty salon on the eleventh floor operated by Dolores Perry. I needed some beauty aid but had no time to stop. I decided to take the elevator to the main entrance so I could continue on my journey about town. Lois Steer in a sleek purple uniform was operating the elevator and she told me that her relief operator was Ruth Kleinknecht. Out on the street once more, I took a deep breath and plodded on. I next saw a large sign heralding the Gibson Oil Co., President jim Gibson. His secretary is Kathryn Bailey and the vice president is Bill Craig who got his experience on his hot rod in high school. Bill's secretary is Helen Reese. Much of .their business comes from the Cushing Truck Company owned and operated by Bob Cushing. His fleet of 67 semi's employs many mechanics and drivers. Two of his drivers are Gene Weikart and Hughes Taylor and Carl Sebrell is his chief mechanic. Elea- nor Kiliany keeps the company records straight. From Eleanor I learned that Kenny Girard and Janet Fieldhouse were spreading the fame of the 49ers by mak- ing movies in Hollywood. They were very good in high school plays as I remem- ber. Gene McCoy is writing the script for them. By now it was dark so I started toward the parking lot once more. But what's that bright light up ahead? The Dan Dee Company operated by jack Kennedy. What a huge building! jack must really be in the chips. He gets free advertising in the local paper edited by Richard Sitler because he supplies Richard with all the chips, pretzels, and twisters he wants free of charge. At last I climbed into my car and started to leave. I almost backed into a station wagon and what's this? Norma Weikart is driving and Shirley Hinerman is with her. I pulled up beside them to say hello and they told me they were owners of an exclusive business school for girls specializing in a new shorthand method. I finally'had to go but I took one farewell glance around the city where so many 49ers had prospered. But I forgot that I was supposed to be driving and I was going to crash into that stone wall ..... Where am I? Why, it was only a dream .... or was it? Ester Theil. Page Thirty-Five I THE F ORTY-NIN ERS CLASS SONG CLASS SONG Tune: Home On The Range We're leaving today But when we're far away, Weill dream of the hours we spent here Of parties and fun, All the things we have done, Especially of our Senior year. Chorus: Oh, Leetonia High Weire leaving, weire saying goodbye To the white and the blue, Our colors so true, Though weire sad, we will hold our heads high. Gur futureas ahead, Thereis a path we must tread To keep up the code like the rest, With the Lord on our side Like the old Forty-Niners out west. Page Thirty-Six THE FORTY-NINERS CLASS POEM Good-Bye To L. H. S. Tell me can you feel it, too And can you answer yes, When asked if each tomorrow We'll feel the parting less? Four years filled with happiness We soon will leave behind We hope and pray the years ahead Will be as good and kind. Although we know this parting Is a necessary thing, We cannot seem to stop The rush of tears it brings. If we could only turn back time Just a year or two There are so many things We would have liked to do. Yet it seems we'll have to take What fate has set in store And put our eyes upon a goal Much higher than before. T So we must accept this parting However sad it be And take into the future Our golden memory. But tell me, can you feel it, too, And can you answer yes, When asked if each tomorrow Weill feel the parting less? -Virginia Young.

White as the first presi- dent. Miss Amy C. Shinn was the advisor of this group until her retirement, when Mr. Allison, our principal, assumed the sponsorship. This organixatiotw is the oldest and most active in the high school. The main responsibility ol' the Council Is to act with Courtesy, Co-operation, and Service for a Good School Spirit. For the intertst and welfare ot' the high school, the Council serves as a medium between the stu- dent body and the faculty. They provide opportunities for the students, create and maintain stand- ards ol' good citizenship and support all Worthy school activities. The Council is composed ol' fourteen members and its faculty advisory representatives being elected each year from the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, Three representatives are elected from the eleventh grade and they serve until they graduate. Seventh and eighth grade representatives have only been active for seven years. Shirley Hinerman, our president, has been a member of the Council since ninth grade. Cooperation of the students ot' Leetonia High School in the future as in the past will enable the Student Council to carry out their aim 'to be an outstanding high school of the state.

The newspaper first published in Leetonia High School was a printed form entitled The Blue and White Messenger. This was in 1923 with Miss Helen Crum as the sponsor and Calvin Weimer was the editor. This paper continued for several years. Then in 1931, another newspaper was published under the name of 'tThc Searchlight with Audrey Morris as the editor-'n-chicll Since our presidents were inaugurated on March 4th, the date of the publication ot' the first Searchlight was on March 4, 1931. Interesting articles in this magazine included the ones on Student Council, Library, the opening of track season, and the cafeteria lunch- eon held hy the Student, Council. In January 1942, the name ot' the paper was changed to the t'Tatler. At this time Pauline Mar- shall was the editor. The name Taller came from a penny newspaper edited by Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele. The plan of the paper is to develop community interest and to bring together the mem- hers ol' all Classes. Pact' 1't?I'lj'-l21.QlIf 1 THE FORTY-NINERS A CAPPELLA CHOIR Row 1-,ff-N Row 2 B. Row 3 A.

The A Cappella Choir was organized in 1946 when Mr. W. Gwynne Jenkins became a member of the faculty of under the Leetonia High School. Before this time, the students were organized in a mixed chorus, direction of Miss Etheleda Szalma. After becoming acquainted, Mr. Jenkins immediately organized the Girls and Boys Glee Clubs and the A Cappella Choir. When first organized, the choir consisted of fifty voices. Seeing the need for voice training, Mr. Jenkins set about to develop new Voices, bringing forth increased enthusiasm and progress. Showing fine progress and interest in music, Mr. Jenkins suggested the addition of choir robes. During 1947-48, the robes were purchased by the Patron-Teachers Association. The robes not alone added to the appearance of the choir, but boosted their morale and gave a definite quality to their singing. With the progress of the A Cappella Choir, Mr. Jenkins hopes to have this organization participating in contests in the near future.

Alexander of St. Mary's, Pa. Due to the lack of funds, the twenty members had quite a struggle getting started. The present. director is W, Gwynne Jenkins, music supervisor for the past three years. The Band has had a two-fold purpose, that of a marching military unit and a concert or symphonic band. The activities of the military unit, as in the past, have been many. They participate at football games both at home and abroadg compete in county band contests: serve the community when a marching unit is needed, as well as pep rallies, school assemblies, and the like. A definite date is set aside each year for the annual Band Concert by the band, which is always attended by a large, appreciative audience. Proceeds from these concerts are placed in the music fund. The band consists of fifty-one members. They were very outstanding during football season with their clever formations at half time intermission. New formations with spotlights were developed this year. Just to name a few that were received very favorably were the Log Cabin to the music of My Old Kentucky Home, the cross to My Buddy, the harvest moon to Shine on Harvest Moon. The traditional L was formed at each game together with other letters using the popular flash- light display. Six attractively dressed majorettes are Joanna Smith, Ester Theil, Carol Grindle, Shirley Grindle, Ida Mae Lipp, and Martha Zimmerman. The drum majorette is Patsy Sipe. In October, the Band competed in the Columbiana County American Legion Tournament at Salem. They competed with top ranking bands of the county and placed fifth in the contest. The main event for the Band is the Annual Band Concert in May. This attraction is always well attended and well received by the audience.

M iss Hanna The Girl Reserves, renamed the Y-Teens in 1945, were organized in Leetonia High School in 1928, under the leadership of Miss Doris Shoop, now Mrs. Fred C. Cope, of Salem, Ohio. Under Miss Shoop's leadership, the girls made silver bracelets with the Girl Reserve Insignia on them, made beads, wove baskets and were the first to sell Christmas Wreaths in Leetonia. In 1929, this group attended the National Convention of Girl Reserves at the Y. W. C. A. Building in Youngstown, where they received many new ideas for the organization and its purpose. In 1932, the Girl Reserves were discontinued as a sponsor could not be secured from the faculty. In 1941, the organization became active under the leadership of Miss Mildred Brubacker, now Mrs. Charles Mather, of Massillon, Ohio. With the start of the 1942-43 school year, Miss Mary Jane Shepherd, now Mrs. Edward Rowedda of Sunbury, Ohio, assumed the leadership In 1946, under the leadership of Miss Anna Ruth With, they decided to become affiliated with the National Organization of Y-Teens and were accepted into membership of the National Organization. This year, they aided the Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion in selling poppies on Poppy Day. They held their annual Easter Breakfast at St. Paul's Lutheran Church and had charge of the Easter Assembly the same afternoon. With the arrival of Spring, April, 1948, the annual Spring Prom was held in our gaily decorated gymnasium with Y-Teens and their escorts from East Palestine, Lisbon and Columbiana as our guests. Our sponsor, Miss Hanna, and our president, Margaret Sherwood, attended the annual Y-Teen Dis- trict Conference at Columbus in September. The Club project for this year was to send clothes to a needy family in Kentucky. Our outstanding affair this year was the Snowball Dance on December 18 in the Music Room for Y-Teen members and their escorts.

We have been proud of our Championship teams. In 1924, our team was County Champs under the leadership of Coach Reuter. In 1945, we were consid- ered the Class B mythical State Champs under Coach Mather, now of Massillon. August 20, 1948, thirty-five boys reported for the first football practice. Train- ing progressed rapidly under the leadership of Coach Morrow and Assistant Coach Mruzik. The coaches worked diligently to arouse fighting spirit, the same spirit that brought Championship teams to Leetonia in 1924 and 1945. The first game of the season was played under the lights at East Palestine. With Leetonia leading 13-0 at the half, Palestine made a powerful comeback in the second half and won 20-13. Leetonia rebounded in the dying minutes of the first home game with Canfield and won over the favorites 20-18. Continuing their winning streak for the second game, the score with McDonald was 12-6. After a loss to Warren St. Mary's at Warren, the Bears defeated the Colum- biana Clippers 14-6 at Columbiana. Successive defeats were suffered at the hands of Lisbon and Toronto on their home fields and by Sebring on our field. Leetonia completed the schedule by winning from Carrollton 12-7 on our field. Football fans willnever forget Roy Driscoll's dash for a touchdown in this game which gives him the honor of being the first tackle to make such a dash in the county this year.

The team played one of the toughest schedules on record for Leetonia and finished with nine wins against nine losses. The closeness of the scores reveal the progress of the team. The home attendance record at the Lisbon game was broken by 70. This game was by far the most spectacular game ever played on the Leetonia floor by both the home and visiting teams. This is the first year that basketball has been as popular as football. With the return of five lettermen for the 1949-1950 season more victories will be ex- pected.

The Leetonia High School Basketball Reserves of 1948-1949 completed one of the most successful seasons under the guidance of Coach Morrow. Sixteen boys practiced diligently and adhered to training rules as their eleven victories igunst eight defeats show. Coach Morrow and his Reserves are to be commended for their splendid shovx ing.
