Leaving football, the sport world quickly turned its spotlight to the hardwood during the cold months of our extra cold ' 45 winter. Setting the scene for Bula ' s basket- eers and putting the fans in the groove was the A. H. S. Cadet band under the direction of W. W. Hamm. American Patrol topped its list of solid sendings. The Black and Gold quintet ended its season as runner up to Willoughby in the Lake Shore League. Bula ' s cagers displayed a well- coached aggregation with emphasis on team work. Coach Ball awarded the coveted A to senior varsity members Jack Cum- mins, Don Dunick, William Kelly, Andrew Monda, Jerry Talkington, and senior man- ager, Milton Robinson. While we are in the sportscope, our track team seems a sure bet to cop the Lake Shore League track meet, since most of last year ' s champion thinclads return for action in ' 45. Practicing the fundamentals of democ- racy, students voted for class officers on Tuesday, November 7. Bula prepared her family in one of the fundamentals of Amer- ican freedom — the right to vote. Jack Cummins assumed the president ' s duties with Bob Miller serving as vice-president of the Senior class. Jean Madden and Ber- nard Roskovics were named to the posts of secretary and treasurer, respectively. Senior senators serving in true demo- cratic form were Bob Bollman, Don Dun- ick, Bill Hall, Bob Miller, Lynn Morse, Betty Jute, Dorothy Nelson, Joe Serieno, Barbara Sullivan, Eleanor Taija, and Wallace Throop, Bob Bollman headed the first sem- (continued on page eighty -six) fifteen

We, ike enioi Class oi ' tf S, SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Treasurer Bernard Roskovics, Pres- ident Jack Cummins, Secretary Jean Madden, Vice-president Bob Miller. ■ 1945 — a year that we will long remem- ber; a year in which the responsibilities of youth were great; a year we hope will be V year to bring a permanent peace to the world. But this last year of ours at A. H. S. was not entirely jammed full of war-torn world actions and ideas. Quick flashbacks bring memories of the Turkey Day clash, the Class play, the Proms, and other activities at Ashtabula High School. Bula has marched along the lighter side while keeping pace with the principal task facing America — that of maintaining a free, democratic, peaceful nation. Yes, Uncle Sam was still drafting 18- year old boys. The masculine portion of the ' 45 graduating class had the old beard- ed fellow staring them straight in the eye as soon as they left the portals of A. H. S. Many of Bula ' s sons enlisted in different branches of the service, not waiting to be drafted. Albert Eaton, John Garner, Harold Gran, Ted Guerini, Howard Hakkarainen, Joe Mock, Sam Nappi, and Clifford Palmer chose Navy blue to defend the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Army ' s khaki appealed to Joe Dondrea, Gabe Nappi, and Harold Stearns. Leather- neck Leo Felix is receiving some rugged treatment with the Marines. The biting Fall atmosphere quickly made football the main topic of discussion. Bula Field ' s brightly lighted turf, the intricate formation of our A. H. S. marching band, while playing Bula ' s Swing Song, and the roar of Yea, Ashtabula led by cheer- leaders Ann Bino, Joyce HIinovsky, Sylvia Sardella ,and Barbara Sullivan, all added to the gaiety of a very successful grid sea- son. They say it quite often now — Coach Guarnieri and his Golden Panthers did it again. They carried another Lake Shore League championship to Bula High. What could top a victorious season better than walloping the lake-dwelling Mariners 20-0 in the traditional Turkey Day classic? The first meeting of the two arch rivals in League competition found Guarnieri ' s boys on the top side of a 25-0 score thus ending Harbor ' s 1943-44 nine-game winning streak. Senior lettermen on Ashtabula ' s powerful championship eleven were Robert Bollman, Francis Candela, Jack Cummins, Steve De- Gennaro, Leo Felix, William Kelly, Joe Mock, Willard Morrow, Wendell Reynolds, Joe Timonere, Tom Vocca, and Don Dunick, who was elected captain by the gridders. Walter Nelson served as senior manager. The champ chose Barbara Sullivan to reign as grid queen at the Ashtabula-Har- bor League game played at Bula Field. Her court consisted of Ann Bino, Dorothea Hen- fourteen
