PRESENTING MINERVA HIGH SCHOOL Foreword The Crescent staff of 1950 is proud to present The Minerva High School Televised Talent Show, as announced by the MHS Lion and recorded by the Crescent Bookworm. An array of talent in administration, faculty, classes, sports, and activities is seen throughout the telecast. The administrators and teachers, acting as scouts, have given direction to all students so that they might be conditioned for the screen of life by their performances over the MHS channel. It is assured that the memories inspired by this book will increase in value with the years, as the screen of 1949-50 grows dim with time. 4 Theme Song of the Crescent Television Show .4 F55E l 5!1EiEEF is? ,I ' I 1 7 I j 1 .

In victory floats on high. Where age and youth have sought the truth, And should thy form wrestle with storm, And as the years roll by, And then the foe will find, Beloved is thy glorious name, We'l1 conquer for thee, or die, Beloved is thy glorious name. We'll conquer for thee, or die. Chorus: Oh! Minerva! Oh! Minerva! Hail to thee, our dear old high school! Oh! Our Minerva High School, Our Alma Mater dear, For thee we'll ever cherish, For thee we'll ever cheer. Oh! may we ever prosper: Our hearts' best wish to thee Oh! our Minerva High School, Is for prosperity. 5 Table of Contents Introduction - Faculty - - Classes - - Sports - Activities - Sponsors - 6 1-13 14-17 18-55 56-65 66-97 98-123 MR.

History One-hundred and sixteen members of the Class of ,50 first entered our television broadcasts in September of ,46. We chose Mary Palmer as our star leader with Miss Dorothy Beckman directing the year's per- formance. A Special St. Patrick,s Day set- ting was chosen for our class party held in the high school auditorium. Entering our second year and being more experienced in this field, our most important scene took place February 20 at Cuthrie,s rink where an evening of skating was enjoyed. Delmar Smith was elected to undertake the leadership with the able guidance of Miss Ruth Nicholson. During our third and fourth years of broadcasting, the responsibility -of leader- ship was placed on the shoulders of Merle Coy with Mr. Charles Catanese as the spon- S011 All of us portrayed the part of sales- men as we tried to build the class treasury. Decals, emblems, and name plates were our merchandise in our junior year, along with manning the eats' stand during all home games. A bake sale was first on the money- making list during our senior year. Later, anyone could hear us extolling the virtues of our fine Christmas cards. To display our talent as juniors, a three-act comedy entitled HA Young Man's Fancyv was presented on December 4 un- der the direction of Mr. Franklin Arndt. Other social events of the year were the HCorn Shock Shuffle , HLion's Ball and the 'fHeart Beat dance. In keeping with the one-hundredth centennial celebration of the California gold rush, -a theme of HCold For The Forty-ninersn was carried out for the junior-senior banquet and prom on May 20. Only seventy-eight of the original show cast completed the television broad- casts. These sponsored such dances as the HFloating Frolic and HHolly Hopn. Our second big production was MWe Shook the Family Treew, a three-act comedy. A nev- er-to-be-forgotten party was the one Merle Coy invited the entire class to attend, in celebration of the play's success. About 40 seniors gathered at Merle's home for a square dance in the barn, a treasure hunt that seemingly covered miles, and games and refreshments to close the eveningls fun. Reaching the end of our career in this field, the class of ,50 presented a senior assembly to those who will follow our foot- steps in later years. We were the guests of our understudies, the class of '51, at the junior-senior banquet and prom on May 26. Having attained a positi-on of high standing, we are prepared to move on to bigger and better performances with our commencement and graduation June 2. We were an excited group as we boarded a school bus, June 3, and began our senior trip to Washington, D. C. For three days we were full-fledged sight-seers and greatly enjoyed the role. We still shall always hold these past four years as the best and most enjoyable years of our lives and shall go forth with the experiences and knowledge we have learned thus far to help us play our roles in life. 1949 s Prom Trotters As juniors, the class of '50 honored last year's seniors With the annual May han- quet and prom, centering the theme upon the California gold rush ol' 1849. TI'ilIlSl-Uflllillg the gym into the valley of the forty-niners required a week of earn- est but rewarding work. Fir trees, a camp- fire, the gold mine, a center rock garden, and an authentic covered wagon, complete with a l'rontiersman and his wife, all lent to the air ol' reality. Underclassmen served the chicken loaf banquet alter which Mr. Franklin Arndt, serving as ioastmaster, 6i6IIlCCCd,, the pro- gram. A forty-niners, quartet rendered several selections. Miss Mildred Dager entertained with lively music on her marim- lma, and Mr. Dan Myers, of Mount Union College, proved himself an alile comedian as well as magician. Phil Masonss orches- tra furnislied music for dancing. Busy chairmen who planned and di- rected the details were Pat DeWalt, han- quetg lioland Smith, program and orches- trag Janice McNary, decorationsg Richard Glass, talmle decorationsg and Dorothy Whiteleather, invitations. Beauty Reigns in '49 Presented before an overflowing crowd on Minerva High's campus, 1949's May Day festivities were rated Mbest yet by the hundreds who wit- nessed The Return of the ll9ers . Students elected Pat Robbins May Queen and Martha Hawkins and Arden Steffey, senior attendants from the class of 749. This year's seniors represented as junior attendants on the court were Carol Glasser, Gloria Baker, Mary Palmer, and Janice McNary.

Under the direction of Mr. Harold G. Koerber, the year 1950 shows a great im- provement in the Minerva High School Band. Membership has rocketed f r-om twenty-f ive in 1947 to seventy-f ive in 1950. Present at every football game wilh the exception of Newton Falls, the band took the spotlight at half-times with shows of varied categories, ranging from the 4'Stairway to the Starsl' theme at the Car- rollton game, to the HSweetheart -of Miner- va Highl' theme at the Malvern match. The Stairway theme, carried out in complete darkness with the exception of head and feet lights on every member, proved to be a breath-taking scene as the various ma- neuvers were executed. BRASS.

Crescent-Screen of School Life We, the Crescent staff -of 1950, have done our best toward presenting a clear visionw of the school year '49-50. We should like to re-enact for you some of the scenes behind the screen. Over in the corner is Janice lVIcNa1'y, script writer, pondering on new ideas and schemes. In another corner is Sondra Lantz, who as art editor is busily drawing her sketches. At the large table in the oth- er end of the room is Richard Class dili- gently working on layouts. Lending her feminine charms to the calendar is Pat De- Walt. In the activities section, Inez Fav-ri is working on girls' organizations and Char- les DePalmo on bfoysi. Slumped in a chair is Wayne Scott, sports editor, who is usual- ly dreaming of sports. Completing a very efficient job on advertising is Irene Dickey and her assistants Beverly Hazen and Nor- ma Brogan. Business Manager Mary Pal- mer can usually be found checking over sheaves of bills and adding columns of figures in a vain effort to make the books balance. Pounding the keys on the type- writer is Sara Loudon, typist. Contacting the photographer, confer- ring with the printer, overseeing the layout, discussing problems with the adviser, and busy with Crescent plans in general is the harried editor, Dorothy Whiteleather. Every effort has been made to pool the talent of these people to produce this book with full coverage of school life and personnel. So jealously did staff members guard their secret of the theme and their activities in the publication of the book that the junior editor, Ann Boerner, is invisible, Y-'l'l1Il1IN l1IXEl'l l'lVE CUM M l'I l'l11E Standing: Beverly Hazen.

Suspense . . The J uniors' Play g'Fog Islandf' a three-act mystery by E. Clayton McCarty, was presented by the junior class April 28 and 29. The scene was laid in the living room of a mansion on a lonely, fog enshrouded island off the coast of California. Jerry Martin, a young scientist from Los Alimos, thinking himself to be the guest of a friend on the desolate island, encount- ers instead two phony caretakers, the Williamses, and the malignant overlord, Brock, who plans to wrest from Jerry some secrets regarding atomic energy. A group of young ladies with their teacher, from a summer drama camp, crossed the channel at low tide and became stranded on the island. Sheriff Doolittle finds the party and brings the girls into the house to await dawn and low tide. Jerry is obliged to play the host, always closely guarded. He recognizes Priscilla, whom he had known well in college, but pretends not to. A battle ensues as he tries stealthily to warn Priscilla and her girls of the danger. The girls unconscious- ly make matters worse and crisis follows crisis until the final showdown, which is as unexpected and as nerve-tingling as anyone can find in a play.
