BROWN, superintendent Mt. Union-B.S. in Education Columbia - M.A. Mr. Brown has worked with the Ravenna schools for 25 years. During the past ten he has been superintendent. His interest and understanding and encouragement have made him a friend of everyone. Pls Pk Pk PIC To the Graduates of '49 --- On the pages of this Annual Will be recorded the achievements of Ravenna High School for the school year 1948-49. It is our belief that this school year with its many and varied interests and activities has been a most successful one. There may have been years when more championships and honors were Won, but this year has been characterized by a loyal student body and a conscientious faculty sincerely at work on a constructive program of education. As it should be, the members of the Senior Class who are responsible for the pre- paration of this Annual have, likewise, taken the lead in setting the tone of education- al accomplishments for the year. I am happy to congratulate the Seniors on all their past achievements and to wish them Well in their future endeavors. I am sure they will be Worthy members of Rav- enna High School's loyal and distinguished Alumni, of which our school is justly proud. H. L. Brown 6 W. E. WATTERS, principal Hiram College-B.A. Kent State University-M.A. Mr. Watters has spent ten of his twelve years in the Ravenna school system as principal of the high school. His helpful interest and guidance enabled us to suc- cessfully fill a school year with scholastic and social activities and achievements. Before coming to Ravenna he spent four years in the county schools, three of them as principal of Streetsboro. He also taught one year in Trumbull County. One of the chief obligations of any school citizen today is that of finding the way in which he can contribute most -effectively to the preservation and improvement of democracy. Free schools are a product of the democratic outlookg in turn it must nurture that philosophy. says Mr. Watters. :ic :i: :lc f Ravenna Board of Education The Board of Education has many duties that most of us know nothing about. For instance, did you know that the Board gave us permission to use the Highland School gynmasium for a Youth Center? The Board is also responsible for the attendance of everyone of school age, and setting up the requirements for graduation. The Board prepares the annual budget, forms the policies of the school system, and decides the amount of money to be spent on projects. Members of the Board are John Byers, presidentg E, G. Willyard, Mrs. Ralph Cun- ningham, Henry Jones, and J. B. Yoder. The clerk is Miss Mary Moncey. 7 l I A little over twenty-five years ago the location of the high school was changed from the Highland building to th-e new and modern structure on the corner of Main and Clinton streets. At the time of the opening of this new building, few extra-curricular activities ex- isted other than football. School was mostly a cut and dried affair of reading, writ- ing, and arithmetic. Even football didn't have an over-amount of stress placed upon it. It was then played at the same stadium we now have. Then it was nothing more than an old field that became flooded and full of mudholes after every rain. In 1929, w-e moved to Riddle Field which was located on the corner of Myrtle and Riddle streets. In 1934, our present stadium was started by the WPA. During all these years, we were gradually adding new activities and new subjects to our curriculum. In our grade schools, there also have been many noticeable changes over the past quarter century. They now have special art and music instruction each week and movies that go along with their studies. Our kindergarten, a great help to young children in getting adjusted, is also a recent addition to our school system. We are sure that if it wer-e not for the interest, loyalty and perseverance of the teachers to whom this article is dedicated all these things could not have been ac- complished in so short a time. It takes people like these who are willing to remain year after year and keep working for the things necessary to develop a fine, high quality and well rounded education so essential to the young people of today, and this foundation must begin in the elementary schools. There are twelve teachers who have contributed their time and effort over the past 25 years to make the Ravenna school system as outstanding as it is. They are the following: H. Larry Brown has been superintendent of Ravenna High School for 10 years. He attended Hiram college and Columbia where he received his B.S. and M.A. de- grees. Before taking over his present posi- tion as superintendent, he was principal and head coach at Ravenna High for 15 years. Charles B. Bates is another teacher who has served for more than 25 years. He is a graduate of Mt. Union where he received his B.S. degree. He also attended Columbia. He heads the Science department at Rav- enna High, and was formerly director of Ravenna High band. Mrs. Helen Chapman has been teaching seventh grade mathematics while here at Ravenna. She is adviser of Junior High journalism staff. Mrs. Chapman is a grad- uate of Hiram college. Representing Chestnut School, Mrs. Christine Cooke teaches fourth grade and all upper grade music classes. Sh-e studied at Columbia and Kent State and holds a B.S. in elementary education. Miss Bernice Crist of Highland school teaches the third grade. She attended Ohio and Kent State universities. In past years she taught the fourth grade and also taught at West Main school. Miss Eloda Holt, one of the two Highland teachers who have worked twenty-five years in Ravenna, teaches the fifth grade and particularly enjoys teaching music and art. A former teacher of the eighth grade, Miss Holt attended Wooster and Kent State. For the past five years, Miss Anna Mc- Clean has served as senior adviser and pre- viously as junior adviser. She graduated with her B.A. from Culver Stockton college. She is the senior English instructor. Miss Adelaide McCormick graduated from Kent State normal school. She has taught the fourth and fifth grades at West Main. She likes to teach arithmetic, Eng- lish and music. Miss McCormick enjoys reading Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and t'Huckleberry Finni' to her classes. The Latin department is headed by Miss Ruth Pangburn who is a graduate of Ober- lin college where she received her B.A. de- gree. She is the former sophomore and Literary Club adviser. While here at Rav- enna, she has taught Latin I and II and sophomore English. She is adviser of the Latin club. Teacher of seventh and eighth grade so- cial studies, adviser to Y-Teens, president of Ravenna Teachers' Association, and secretary of NEOTA, Miss Christine West- lake is busy in furthering school activities. Miss Westlake, who attended Ohio State University, formerly taught penmanship in the grade schools. Miss Vera Wright has always taught first grade and enjoys getting the younger folk started off on the right foot for their school years. She did her college work at Kent State. C. D. Zumbro was the FacultyManager of Athletics for 23 years. He teaches me- chanical drawing to junior and senior class- es and has previously taught metal and wood shop.

That's right-the custodians under the able direction of Walter L. Hugill. The staff includes Frank Arvizzigno, Marion Esposito and their helpers Roger Smith and Tommy Hugill. i r l Th-e able cafeteria cooks Whom you always see on the other side of the counter are director Mrs. Frees, Mrs. Coburn and Mrs. Wheaton. Their assistants are Marcella Robinson, Shirley DeLong, Bruce Peters, J oan Chalker, and June Chalker. Those girls are there for a very special reason, namely, to help Mrs. Coburn and Mrs. Lena Frees make their numerous burdens light-er. They have many tasks such as cleaning and Washing the trays, and selling ice cream and milk. Joan Chalker has the special and complicated job of keeping track of the meals with and without milk. You can understand what a job this is when you realize that the cafeteria served about 85 to 90 meals daily this year. I For the past two years, the cafeteria has had a very unusual but very vigorous helper. Yes, every day at noon, you can find Bruce Peters in the cafeteria running the dish washing machine. 12 X ' N Cherished Since D ays of Yore N Leonard Aristide William Balser Jeanette Barber Patricia Bell Raymond Berkley Joan Bolvin Richard Bowland Evelyn Byers Marion Byers Jane Calvin Jacqueline Case Harris Clark Herbert Clark Mickey Delano Marilyn DeLeone Sally DeLong 14 'wi f,. 1' N f -if ggi V - ' I -- A., . 4?

Spring is here, said Mrs. Chapman, Hie thee forth to write a poem. Out we went the skies to view, They weren't at all a heavenly blue. Not one robin past us flew. Still, she'd said spring was here, Then why the snowflakes on our ear? Scuse us for doubtin'! But when spring her finery is floutin', We ain't poutin'! Please, let us know, Cause we've got to write a poem About a spring that ain't yet showini So little snowflakes, go away! Don't clutter up our nice spring day! by Thalia I-Iergenroeder MIKE'S BIKE As you have guessed by the title, A great bicyclist in Michael. He went everywhere on his bicycle. In fact, he was always in a hurry And gave motorists quite a worry. On his bike he would scurry In and out of the traffic line. Riding four abreast was fine. Stoplights, he said, are motorists' not mine. If, instead, the laws he'd heed, Be more careful and reduce his speed, A happier, longer life he'd lead. by Sarah Post FIRST SNOWFALL Rushing to the window one cold, wintry day, I spied the first small snowflakes wandering down my way. Slowly, slowly, they flew past at first, As if from a bubble newly burst. Then faster and faster as down they swirled Dancing and flying like a flag unfurled! Harder and harder 'til the air was thick, They fell as steady as a watch's tick! Until at last they ceased to blow There it lay, the Very first snow.. by Carol Hampton SNOW Over the hills, lakes and streams, Over the trees it shines, it gleams, Over the house tops, big and bright Over the day into the night. See it shine on your fence See it whirl, play and dance See it sparkle, and be gay See it sleep at the end of day. by Tom Mariana PUZZLING WEATHER Slush and rain, rain and slush! Oh! how I hate this awful mush! Slivpy, Sloppy, Sloppy siippy, D This dumb weather sure seems drippy! In the winter, it ought to snowg Why it doesn't, I don't know! That old rain, it falls today. It really should not come 'til May! There must be some mistake! Oh gosh! Just for my sake, Please, let me know, Why won't it snow? by Thalia I'IGl'2'8lll'06d8l' N0 CRYSTAL BALL No, even if I were endowed With mystic power to read the years, I would not look ahead to learn The causes for my smiles and tears. My life without suspense would be A well as dry as desert sand, And even if I read the years, To know is not to understand. by Janet Zoll '47 MY LITTLE ROOM I have a little room at home, With a big soft chair beside my bed, And at night I sit up and look at The stars, through the skylight overhead. The color of my room is bluish-green With pictures tacked here and there- Pictures of actors, actresses, sportsmen and ath- letes Surrounding me everywhere. My little room has a hardwood floor, With linoleum protecting its top, The linoleum is slick for sliding, but once You start, you cannot stop. My curtains are light yellow, There are regular, and storm windows too, In the winter they keep out all the wind, While in the summer the screen lets it through. My room is not too comfy In the winter it's a little too cold, While in the summer in order to sleep there You have to be practically bold. But if we lay aside all these faults, I think all of us will see That the little room is really nice, Just as nice as a little room can be. by Jim Roberto SIGHTS NEED ADJUSTING? What if Cleopat, her hair awry, Had shrugged herself and with a sigh, Had said, Alas, I'll never pass, From what I see in my looking glass. I know that gents are never fond Of anyone except a blonde. So I deduce there's just no use To try to snag some Mark on the loose. And what if Napoleon, the Bonaparte, Had simply gone alone, apart, Reflected on his stature slight And said, I know it just ain't right For little squirts like me to fire The world, and hearts of men inspire To spill their blood to unthrone kings And generally to upset things. And if That boy had thought in Galilee, This preaching job is not for me. I'll toss my plans aside and admit The thing I better do is quit. Who would heed an accursed Jew? I might be scorned and crucified too. No use to jump in over my head, Why aim so high and end up dead? Well- Being modest is a virtue, But think you honesty will hurt you? Better invoice yourself too high Than let your destiny skid by. And how in the world will you ever know How far your luck will let you go, Unless you set your sights afar And hitch your buggy to a star? KAnonymousJ Flutter Shutter Take that line again!

Seniors Hit Print Glancing down from my work, I saw an issue of a 1959 Evening Record at my feet. Curious as to what my old classmates were doing, I picked it up on the chance that I might see some mention of them. The headlines were Klein Discovers 97th Element. The story beneath stated that Maurice Klein is a professor at M.I.T. and is recognized as the outstanding chemical engineer of our day. Farther down the page was a story about a plane that had crash landed in Cali- fornia. Due to the skill of the pilots and the quick thinking of the hostesses, few of the passengers were injured. The pilot was Jim Hoff, now making his home in Arizona, and the co-pilot was Jim Jordan of San Diego. Hostesses were Betty Kontros and Maxine Lemons. Aboard the plane were Jeanette Barber, noted Oregon psychiatrist and her nurse, Barbara LeRoy, Bill Ridenour, who was returning to his Marine Air Corps base after a brief visit homeg Joan Bolvin, secretary to David O. Selznikg and lVlarie Ensinger, who was returning to her home in Los Angeles. Billy Johnson and Wayne Wise were the mechanics in charge of investigating the cause of the crash. Farther down the page, an item about Joe Stoerkel caught my eye. He has unearth- ed a tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharoah. The president has appointed Phil Larcus chief engineer of the Columbia Valley Ad- ministration. His assistants will be Richard Bowland and Bill Balser. Well, I always said that Ernie Hollabaugh would come out on top. I read that he had just performed a successful operation for a rare heart disease which threatened the life of Elizabeth Prusak, employee of Clark's in Cleveland. Nurses assisting him were Marilyn DeLeone, Patty Devine, and Betty Schinke. Harold Wilson has a model agency in New York. Now he is in Akron with his chief photographer, Joe Myers, looking for new talent to add to his other great models who include Jerry Feiber, Claudia Livingston and Doris Hunt. Leonard Aristide's name came up on the local front. He has been given permission to extend his coach line to Sandy Lake for the summer. Paul Studer and Mike Giovinazzo, just back from Denver, are having the grand opening of their Tucker showroom and garage. Their chief mechanics are Lawrence Madonio and Doug Svoboda. Henri Pusker has been named manager of the A. C. Williams branch in Little Rock, Ark. Foremen for the new plant are Paul Wanstreet, Bob Wavrek, Pat Dimaso. George Dobrilovic, Bill Foster, and Frank Dill. Mary Jo Strickling and Marion Byers have been appointed to go as Pusker's secretaries. Turning to page two, I saw a design of an ultra modern home by the famed archi- tect, Donald Gray. Glancing down to the theater news, I saw that Ray Berkley's orchestra featuring Dorothy Ward and her clarinet was on the Palace stage in Cleveland. At the same time, I noticed that Hilda Myers is appearing at the Hanna in her new play before taking it to Broadway. The latest western from Bob Dustman and Mickey Delano's Broncho studio in Hol- lywood is now playing at the Ohio. It's The Battle of Bullet Basin and starred are Mario Tortorella and Jo Ann Franks. Jackie Case's picture appeared on the radio page. She stars in such daytime serials as Life with Lydia Lamplightf' and Life Can Be Pitiful and she also is heard with the great radio team of Tom Griffiths and Howard Hildebrand on their half hour show of comedy, philosophy, and music. 'Names of old classmates appeared often on the society page. Mary Solitro held a party for Carmella Provenzo and Hallie Eidson, both beauticians of Los Angeles, at her beautiful Shaker Heights home. Those attending were Jane Calvin, of Higbee'sg 24 Evelyn Byers, secretary to Dr. Brown, Geraldine Thompson, Ohio Bell operatorg Mary Lou Hentz, laboratory technician at Robinson Memorial, Gloria Stibbe and Lorraine Stanford. secretaries at Oak Rubber, Rita Fulweber and Joyce Gerr-en, ac- countant and stenographer respectively far the Fisher Body Plant of Cleveland, Jean Ann Klay, Cleveland social worker, and her secretary, Gail Morris, and Sally De- Long, secretary to Bill Veeck.

The stream-er on the sports page read Stump wins series game for Indians with his 69th home run of the season. Bob is the manager of the tribe since Boudr-eau went to the Yankees. Also on the sports page was this story: Bill Evans, coach of the Bowling Green Eleven, and Charles Knight, Miami coach, are meeting to see whose team will be victorious.Harold Stephenson, the famed motorcycle racer, is appearing at Sports- man's Park tonight for the first time since his crack up.

Dynamite Twins Trying to dream up the dynamite twins was a simple matter of rubbing Aladdin's Lamp. The swish of a jet propelled genii brought the pair into view. The boy and girl possessed the best in appearanc-e and personality that only the RHS seniors' magic could produce. vi: :ic This d-y--n-a-m-i-t-e lassie has the shapely figure of Doris Hunt. Those eyes are the big, sparkling ones of Anne Linton. She has the glistening tresses of Mary Lou Hentz That dazzling smile belongs to Jane Calvin, while the mellow notes of her speaking voice belong to Mary Jo Stricklingg her singing voice to Joan Bolvin. Barbara Le- Roy owns her tapering graceful hands, and Rindy Willyard has the skin you love to touch with Betty Kontros's dimples. You say you want to hear more-okay!- She has the groomed looks and clothes of Katherine Sarrocco. Her sense of humor resembles that of our own hep one, Mary Solitro, while her personality belongs to Ana Romano. Her cuteness is strictly that of Hallie Lou Eidson. Above all, she's a true lady like Jackie Case and has the fairest of feminine vir- tues, the shyness of Nancy Triscori. She has inherited the intelligence of Pat Mc- Cardel and the leadership of Pat McClel- land. When it comes to dancing, she swings and sways like Jerry Feiber. She can dash off a drawing anytime like Inez Rockafel- low and, if it is music you want to hear, Dorothy Ward can provide it in both jazz and classical form. She has the quality of Marilyn DeLeone's courtesy and Joanne Rusinko's enthusiasm. i 4 Ii it is athletic ability you're looking for, it belongs to Evelyn Byers, and as the num- ber one gum chewer it's Maxine Lemons. Our d-y-n-a-m-i-c lad is really super de- luxe! He dresses as snappily as Phil Lar- cus. His atlas build belongs to Jim Hoff. His eyes are the soft brown eyes of Bob Stump. That beaming smile belongs to Joe Stoerkelg his deep speaking voice to Mau- rice Klein, his singing voice is like Tom Griffiths'. Those red waves crowning his head are those of Neil Kellison. He has the friendliness of a guy named Paul Studerg the sense of humor of our pal, Tony Porcase. Mickey Delano's personal- ity is one of his nicest assets. When it comes to his energy and pep he has that of Leonard Aristide. Is he intelligent? You can bet your life he is, for he has the LQ. of Ernest Hollabaugh. He has a dash of modesty and shyness of Lawrence Madonio and Paul Wanstreet. Guess what? He has the musical ability of Ray Berkley and the artistic ability of Ray Gerber, and is a leader like Bill Ridenour. He is as dependable as Bill Balser and has the managing ability of Charles Knight. When it comes to dribbling down the bas- ketball floor, he uses Harold Wilson's tactics, while on the dance floor he has the rhythm of Mario Tortorella. Seniors on Review NAME L. Aristide B.

The gam-e resulted in victory number four as Wadsworth was shut out 19-0. The scene, Bowers Field, the actors, Ravenna and Roosevelt, in the annual clash between the two rivals. Anything can and usually does happen in a game between these two schools. In this case, the underdog and under-rated Rough Riders galloped to a 21-19 win over the slightly bewildered Ravens. After the defeat at the hands of Roosevelt, our boys were able to bounce back and edge out Newton Falls 26-24. It seems that the boys didn't have enough rubber in them to bounce all the way, for they lost the remaining three games to Cuyahoga Falls, 19-6, Struthers, 19-14, and Girard, 33-6. This added up to five wins and four losses. In total points the Ravens were able to out score their opponents 181 to 116. The Ra- vens scored in every game and were held to less than two touchdowns only twice. They were able to hold their opponents scoreless in the first four games. Six seniors donned their red and white suits for the last time in the Girard game. They were Mike G-iovinazzo, Bill Evans, Nardy Aristide, Tony Porcase, Joe Stoerkel, and Bill Johnson. 65 Ravens, Brood Varsity 1. Matt Rock, Don Gray, Harold Wilson, Bob Rupert, Sam Simone, 2.

The final season's record including the tournament game was 10 wins 8 losses. We opened by trouncing Newton Falls 53-27. Akron St. lVlary's did- n't help matters any in the second game as the Ravens tasted defeat 44-39. Louis- ville continued where St. Mary's left off by trouncing us 55-31. Kent Roosevelt, al- ways willing to help Ravenna, was our second victim of the year 39-32. Cuyahoga Falls and Salem handed us 51-35 and 53-50 setbacks while we spanked Warren St. Mary's 48-39 and the Alumni 40-33. Kent State went down under a barrage of points. The score was 74-37. The 74 points eclipsed by two the previous high for a Ravenna cage team. Harold Wilson flipped in 33 points which broke Bob Matteson's individual high score for a single game by three points. It seemed almost impossible to work up a good winning streak. After piling up three in a row, Akron Ellet snap- ped it with a 59-45 victory. Then it happen- ed, the Ravens scored victories over Akron Central 49-39, Newton Falls 58-30, Wads- worth 39-34, Warren St. Marys 46-45, and Roosevelt 43-31. The victory over Roose- velt was the second of the year, and it is the first time Ravenna has scored two wins over a Roosevelt cage team in one season since the 1937 season. Niles interrupted this victory streak of five with a convincing 60-52 win. A vastly improved Kent State team trounced the Ravens 52-39 in Wills gym. Wilson connected for 14 points to.tie Bob lVlatteson's individual scoring record for a season at 260 points. Failing to get started until the fourth quarter, the Ravenslwere eliminated from the tournament at Goodyear Gym by a rangy Wooster five, 50-47. Wilson's 29 points came Within three points of the court re- cord. 011 Reserve Nucleus The picture at right shows five juniors who will return to form the nucleus of next years club.
