TABLE OF CONTENTS Board of Directors Subscnbers Theater Sports S W Oclety Features ewspaper Plant This building houses' Swanton Public Schools, with their 668' workers and twenty-three supervisors. Here the laborers learn information and develop habits which are used all their lives as the basic principles of moral, intellectual, and social' activities. There' are rnany departments, among' these the English department plays an im-- portant part in producing the L'Pioneer. This piece of worlc is put out by a dozen members of the senior class supervised by Mr. Baker and Mrs. Carpenter. Originally built in l90fL, and enlarged in l927, the building lacks much to be desired for efficiency. The stockholders must soon devise a plan to relieve crowded conditions by providing more classrooms and a larger gym and added library space. A school cafeteria is greatly needed, a music room should be added and modern im-- provements in lighting and ventilation are necessary. The 'cPioneer goes on record as believing that good physical conditions in zu plant add greatly to the efficiency of the worlcers. 4 ewspaper Staff Nancy Pinkstone .loan Michalak Emmitt Cole Joyce Koepfer Beryl Overmeyer Dorothy Buckenmeyer James Holland John Smith .

They scar our hearts and blind our eyes They curl our spirits and tangle our minds But they are for a purpose. No matter how great there is something greater As beauty is to sing so is sorrow to cry For to have beauty is to understand beauty To know sorrow, too, is to understand. What avail we here if not to comfort? How comfort without understanding? An empty sympathy it would be Never knowing a pain of our own. So when your sorrow comes- Mourn, even suffer, but do not forget For there will be othersg Uthers with tenuous cries to a Higher Power And the something greater will be That you will know and give to them peace. -Aloyce Koepfer unior Class Enjoys prosperous Year The junior class of Swanton High School is composed of fifty-nine members who are now enjoying the most exciting of their school years so far.

The class officers are: president, Bud Overmyerg vice-president, Louie Bowmang secretary, Bob Mossingg and treasurer, Mona Babcock. The class sponsors are Mrs. Mack and Mrs. Carpenter.

N anuary Thaw., ls Success Excellent Acting Aids Plot A good plot, superb acting, and capable directing-add them together and the result can be nothing but a hit!!! Yes, the senior play, January Thaw, presented April 24' and 25, was a huge success. As the curtain rises we see the living room of an old Connecticut home into which the Cage family has just moved in an effort to find peace and quiet. Mr. Gage Him l-louserj is striving to write a best sellerv while his wife, fBetty Jean Schielj busily turns churns into flower vases, and coffee grinders and spice boxes into lamps. However, rather than finding the country quiet which he sought, he is beseiged with numerous interruptions. Among these is his oldest daughter, Barbara, Uoan Michalakj who seeks a husband, an- other, Sara, fPeggy Hallettl who loves all kinds of animals. Paula fBetty Haynesl is always ready to twist her sister's wrist to help in any project. As Mr. Gage, a volunteer fireman, is leav- ing to put out a fire on a neighboring farm, the original owners of the house, who are supposed to be dead, return. This old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Rockwood, Uoyce Koepfer and Albert Taylorj and their son, Matt, fRay- mond Kreuzj who has been staying with his Uncle Walter, flim Keoghl are absolutely oblivious to the Gage family and despite the efforts of the Gage's lawyer, Mr. Loomis, fGeorge Kellerj they stay on. Differences of opinions about politics, gar- dens, animals, and modern xinconveniencesv cause much argument and bitterness. While Matt and Barbara are caring for a neighbor who is ill, George, Uohn Smithl Barbara's fiance, returns from college and thinks they have eloped. Very discouraged, he leaves for uparts unknown . The supposedly marriecl couple return be- fore a constable fDick Scherzerj can locate them. George and Barbara are 1:-united. Mrs. Cage, discovering that the barn is forty years older than the house, decides to let the Rock- woods stay in the house and she and her fam- ily move into the barn. Now she will have the oldest house in the state of Connecticut. Assembly Programs One Wish of many students, both those who have graduated and those still attending S. H. S., has at last been fulfilled: more as- sembly programs by talent within the school. The personnel for all but one of these pro- grams was chosen from the student body. This one was sponsored by the Senior Hi-Y. The speaker was a song leader who really got 'some harmony from the assembly. The first to prove that we have reai talent in our own school was the Junior Y-Teens. This program included songs by the Junior High Glee Club, a short football skit, and a Thanksgiving Play. The Girls Glee Club welcomed the Christ- mas season by singing Christmas songs be- fore the faculty and students for our third assembly program. Instead of limiting its program to a play this year, the sophomore class presented a piano duet, a clever skit in which several characteristics of the high school faculty were imitated, a sextet composed of six girls, a play about two quarrelsome brothers. and lastly a jitterbug dance by two girls. Just two weeks later the freshman science classes presented a radio program from Sta- tion H20. Nothing was omitted from this realistic program. There were three piano solosg two pantomine skitsg presentation of the virtues of a very potent pill fgum dropj g commercialsg special news flashesg a little skit proving the worth of fruits and vege- tables, and last, but certainly not least, the director of this program, Miss Curtis, sang a soprano solo-4'Happy Birthday to Mr. Runnelsf' Another radio program! This one coming from Station G. A. A. This all-girl cast pre- sented several small skits about courtesy: singing commercialsg and a pantomine skit, in which only the shadows of the actors were seen. These assembly programs not only provide enjoyment for the student body and faculty, but also teach the students participating in the programs not to fear appearing before large groups of people.

THE TE GENOA Genoa initiated its newly light- ed stadium by rolling over Swan- ton's inexperienced team to the tune of 30-0. Genoa's speed and experience were the deciding factors. Long runs on the part of Genoa's backs provided the scores. HOLLAND Swanton got its second defeat in as many games as it outfumbled Holland and lost 13-6. Woityna scored on a 20 yard end run. A long pass for one and a blocked kick for another gave Holland its points. This was the first game in which the band appeared upon the field They formed two large block let- ters, an S and an H. MAUMEE Maumee steamrollered Swanton 34-0 for its third straight loss. Maumee's line never gave and its running attack was never stopped, so the long end of the score went to Maumee. OTTAWA HILLS Swanton entered the win col- umn as the Bulldogs whipped Ot- tawa Hills 20-0. The first score came when Woityna smashed through the line. The other two touchdowns were Holland-to- Blake passes. Kahle added two extra points. DELTA A strong Delta team overrode a bewildered Swanton eleven 31-0. Two passes, Koder-to-Hood, and one touchdown each by the other backfield men gave Delta the game. The band traveled with the team to Delta to entertain the football fans between halves Witl a unique formation- The Faint- ing Trombone Player. While marching down the field a trom- bone player fainted, and it wasn until the last rank passed that he was observed. T his observei quickly reported it to the drun major who called to another play- er to warm up. The substitute wa: put in, and the one who had faint- ed was carried off on a stretcher The band at last continued on it: way. This type of formation hac never been attempted by a Swan- ton band before. It was a complete success. WAUSEON Swanton eked out its seconc win, this time over Wauseon 19- 14. Emmitt Cole made a 55 yarc run for the first score. Niswandei also scored on a plunge. Wauseol came back with two touchdowns but Niswander sewed up the gamt on another line plunge. Kahlt made the extra point.

Rossford cored on two passes, Richard-to- udeigh, and again through the ine. Swanton counted on Hol- and's passes to Blake and Over- myer. Kahle again added a point after the touchdown. Between 'halves of this game, the band again proved its march- ing ability. In this formation, the band refused to obey the instruc- tion of its drum major-all inten- tional, of course-so she traded her baton for a trombone. The trombone player found that twirl- ing a baton wasn't too easy, so each took his original place and all ended well. LIBERTY CENTER Swantonis Bulldogs pulled an upset over Liberty Center 7-6. Niswander scored on a plunge. Kahle added the winning point. Liberty Center scored on a pass DULE SWANTON 20 ,,,,-.,19 .......13 32 - 87 from Leatherman to Myers. Swan- ton showed its strength for almost the first time this season. DELTA Swanton was the victim of hard luck and a Delta eleven 7-0. Stevenson scored through the line in the first quarter. From then on Swanton controlled the ball but failed to put it across the goal line. Although Swanton played its best game of the year the game ended in De1ta's favor. The band members strutted their new white spats at the last De1'a game. They outlined a D and S for the schools, but the fea- ture of the evening came when the band formed a huge map of Ohio, Kilroy,', the bandis mascot, was also introduced during this game. Kilroy also appeared at the last game of the season. But this time he was led onto the field by Nancy White. The two danced in front of the band. Mr ffirten, the director. stressed marching. A new turn and count- ermorch were introduced this year which was very effective. WHITE HOU SE Swanton played a fine game to smash down Whitehouse 34-0 and to win its fourth game against six losses. Niswander, aided by the perfect blocking of his teammates, scored three times all on line plunges. Kahle made one touch- down on an end run and Holland added another when he intercept- ed a pass Kahle added two extra points.

But he him- self had an enviable athletic record in col- lege and in the army. After graduating from Edgertown High School in 1937, he entered Bowling Green College where he majored in Physical Educa- tion. Here he was a four letterman for three years. He was captain of the 1939-40 basket- ball team and of 1940-41 baseball team. He played forward on the basketball team and fullback and halfbaek in football. He pitched and played first base for baseball and just for exercise ran the four-forty, high jumped, and threw the javelin in track. During his service with the army he was the player-coach of Mitchell Field, rated the top service team in the country in 1945. This team' won the Eastern Division Tournament held at Madison Square Garden. fBesides himself the team had the Rader twins form- erly of L. I. U., now playing pro with the Buffalo Bisons and Jerry Rizzo, star of Ford- ham, now with the pro Syracuse chiefs, plus Ossie Shirctman, L. 1. U. Captain 1943-44, now playing for New York Knickerbockersj He also played on the First Air Force football team which came in second in their league composed of service elevens from all parts of the U. S. A. fThere he played against such famous stars as Damianto, Philadelphia Eaglesg Paschel, New York Giants, and Char- ley trippi. Georgia,s all-American and also Frank Sinkwich, another of Georgia's greats. He was discharged January 1946, and signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers pro- football team but later decided to coach and he is very happy over this decision. We would like to say that Swanton High players and fans are also happy over this decision and they all say, Good luck and continued success in sports, Dewey Johnson. 43 l Strength Behincl the Team FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS , Shirley Klein, Dorothy Mroczkowsld, Peggy Hallett, Albert Taylor FOOTBALL MANAGERS Richard Baker, Don Eaton, Mahlon Walp, Dan Guthrie 44 arsit y LEFT T0 RIGHT: 'GlVIouse,' made the first ten this year get- ting into the game quite often. ,lim played either Czajkais or Busack's position when he went in. Jim is small, but a smart ball hand- ler. This boy will play more regularly next year. This little redhead was a fighting guard on this yearis five. He is a great man on zone defense because he follows the ball so well. Red is a very fast man and is one of the hopes for next yef1r's team. This good looking senior didn't see much action, but Jim was one of those eagers who kept the first team in practice by the rousing' scrimmage work he did. Ray played on the first ten this year, see- ing action a good many times. He is a good shot. Ray played forward and made the first five run at a full gait to keep ahead of him. Dick was our right forward, moving up from his reserve spot of last year. This tall, curly-haired hlond was a great asset along the side. He did board work in the triangle and made 124 points while feeding a good many haskets to Blake. Mliiglipoeketsi' spent his fourth year with the first five. This tall hoy was the center and spark of this year's team. Jim was a great hack-hoard man. getting the hall off the op- ponents, hoard and tipping the hall in around ours. As high point man this year i203 pointsj, Jim will be sorely missed next year. This tall lad played on the first five this year. Al was Scherzer's running mate. nim- ing left forward.

Dick played forward and is a good backhoard man. He made a great numher of points this year and was a cham- pion foul shooter. Dick is another of next yearis hopefuls. Don played regularly on the reserves this year and often on the first ten. He scored points and was a great little man on defense. Don will do well on the varsity next year. i E 1 2 Z 1 2 3 1 1 4 i 1 THE TEAM BULLDOGS ROMP THROUGH HOLLAND Swantonis Bulldogs put on a swell show to defeat Holland in their first game, 47-19.

One of the boys sug- gested, Why don't we have a track team? We have enough boysf, They got together and went to the principal and asked him about it. He said, ive haven't any coach or equipment, and I donlt think we have the material? The boys said, We may not have a coach or equipment but we have the ma- terialf, The boys escorted our principal to the football field where he timed them for a 100 yard dash in ll.6 seconds. Being a most fair-minded man, he took into consideration the lack of track shoes and other handicaps and then consented that we have a team providing there were enough boys interested and their grades were kept up. Now for a coach. Our football coach was the baseball coach, so he was out, but one of the boys remembered seeing some track ribbons at the home of our industrial arts teacher. He was approached and he consented to coach. On March 3, 1946, we glgggour first meeting of the first track team since The boys who were responsible for this track team were Emerson Cole, Herman Lightner, Don Niswander, Emmitt Cole, and Gene Hines, with the help of Mr. B. G. Runnels, our principal, and Mr. Eaton, our coach and industrial arts teacher. On March 3, 1946, a track meeting was called and twelve boys reported. They practiced running and jumping, some went out for 100, 220 and 440-yard dashes, others for the short spurt or broad jump, while some the mile and half mile. The boys were: Don Haynes, Clarence Zeigler, Emmitt Cole, Floyd Meier, Charles Mitchell, Her- man Lightner, Dick Czajka, Gene Hines, Don Ni- swander, Emerson Cole, Roy Barnes, and Eddie Woityna. .,... COACH Darwin C. Eaton, a former Glenville High and Ohio State University athlete, came to Swanton in 1942. Mr. Eaton took over track coaching respon- sibilities in 1946. ln that short length of time he produced a fine team, which never came in last, in any meet. Mr. Eatons philosophy: Track is a sparg where each individual is a team within him- se . Mr. Eaton entered track as a sport at Cleveland, Ohio. He ran the 220 and broad jump, was on the Champion Relay Team of this school one year. He History also won numerals at Ohio State his freshman year.
