Alliance High School - Chronicle Yearbook (Alliance, OH)

From Out Our Past Oh, how well we remember that first day in high school! This big building with so many stairways and rooms in which to get lost was so confusing to us. Of course, as green freshies, we fell for the old gags of the seniors, even to looking for the mythi- cal elevator. Very soon though, the strangeness wore off, and we found our place in school affairs. The clamor which could be heard in 101 after school on March 21, 1941 was caused by our first class meeting at which we became organized. The officers whom We elected were: Donald Felgar, president, Dean Ashbrook, vice president, Vera Alfani, secretary, Shirley Miller, treasurer. Mr. James Wilhelm accepted the patronship of our class. Our first social gathering was a party in the Log Cabin at Silver Park. With an eye to increasing our treasury for the future prom we would give, the class sold pencils which were inscribed with the school's name. To round out the year we held a Christ- mas party at the Y. M. C. A. The school life had changed for us now for we were upperclassmen. A change in officers was brought about in an election. Patricia Green became vice president and Catherine Cox was secretary. We began work on a new project of selling Everyday Greeting Cards. This proved very successful for the class. The fall term found us without a patron because Mr. Wilhelm had enlisted in the Navy. This was remedied when Miss Ruth Weaver graciously accepted the position. Since Don Felgar decided to graduate in June '43, we had to hold a new election. Those elected to office were Walter Wollam, presidentg James Pappenhagen, vice presi- dent. Cox and Miller remained in their offices. Who of those present will ever forget the Prom of All Nations on January 16, 1943? The dancers enjoyed Earl Jones' music, under a column of flags of the United Nations and with the portraits of the leaders of the four great Allied nations watching them. As seniors we realized that graduation was approaching when the measurements for rings were taken. We gave a farewell party for Mr. Husat in the form of a treasure hunt at the Big Log Cabin in Silver Park. The Charge of the Very Light Brigade, our play, was given December 10 with Helen Greek and James Pappenhagen in the lead. No seniors will ever forget General Octave Talaba who won top honors in the ticket sale in the contest between the home rooms 221 and 222. The Chronicle staff and all the graduation committees were appointed and the grad- uation machinery began to grind. Because of our small size everyone had a job to ac- complish. The best senior chapel I have seen, was the comment of Principal Walter Webb on our Minstrel Show chapel. The seniors marched onto the stage to form the red, white, and blue background for the entertainers. With Sam Reale and Kenny Cade as clowns and Howard Shackel as M. C., the show brought out much of our hidden talent. As we gave the gavel to our successors our red and silver ribbons were added. In the hustle of the last week, the senior banquet was held at the Woman's Club. The musical theme was carried out cleverly in the decorations and program. Mr. Cop- pock gave sound advice to us in the speech on Future Harmonies. As Aregutha Nich- olson played Farewell to Thee, a feeling of sadness crept into many seniors' minds. Our first appearance in caps and gowns was made on January 23 for Baccalaureate at the First Methodist Church where Reverend McCallum delivered the sermon. As a fitting climax our impressive graduation following the theme: What Is Worth Fighting For? was held in the auditorium January 27, 1944. Thus we have tried in our four years to be true to our motto: Deeds not words. With many treasured memories of good times and carefree days we bid a fond adieu to our high school. 11
