The Senior Class of Chagrin Falls High School Proudly Presents . . Acknowledgment w, E, the Zenith Staff of 1954, in appreciation of the invaluable aid given us in the production of this, our yearbook, wish to extend our deepest thanks to Mr. Norman Fry, our advisor; Ellen and Bill Hood, photographers; Mr, Geo. Vance of the Tower Press; Mrs. Helen Daugherty of the Northern Engraving and Electro- type Company; the merchants and businessmen of Chagrin Falls; our parents and teachers; and everyone else who has helped to make the 1954 Zenith possible. Foreword SoMETIMES it must seem to you young people that the voices of doom are rampant in the land today. Often through news- papers. magazines, and novels you are given a sorry picture of the state of the world and of people in general. Too many timid souls warn you to he careful and cautious in planning your future. There is far too much existing and not enough real living along dynamic lines. It may seem to you that this new age has not produced men that can measure up to those of other times. But this is not so. All you have to do is to think of the heights of courage and great- ness to which men have risen in the last two years, and the suffer- ings and triumphs of the persecuted minorities of the world. Time and time again modern man has proved that the human spirit, desiring good, is still dominant and can win over the forces of destruction. You are living in terrible, wonderful, soul-stirring times. on not only bear the brunt of the mistakes hut you also enjoy the fruits of the age. And you will make your own contributions— some good, some had—hut as you are inherently decent and fine there is no doubt in my mind that you will try to do all you can to further the attainment of a better world. Year after year Chagrin Falls turns out young men and women of purpose and integrity. This happens all over America, and as long as this is so there is no reason to he afraid or despair. Youth is the ray of hope that is ever shining upon the horizon of America. Words that 1 wish you well cannot adequately express the depth and sincerity of my desire for your success and happiness in the future. Miss Elsa Jane Carroll Senior Class Advisor E, the Class of 1954. in an attempt to express our most heartfelt gratitude for the concern shown for each one of us, sincerely dedicate our yearbook to Mr. and Mrs. Neal Wheatcraft. % School Board Mr. C.

Chagrin’s aggressiveness and experience proved to l e the difference in this County Round Robin contest. Chagrin Falls 13_______________________________________ Kenston 0 Chagrin opened the 1953 season by defeating Kenston by only two touchdowns. Because of costly fumbles many Tiger scoring opportunities were baited. Mike McNally pushed over both markers and Pete Shelton added a placement. Chagrin Falls 28____________________________________Brecksville 0 The Tigers proved that they would be one of the top contenders for the Fast County championship by smashing a spirited Brecksville squad. Jon Fitzpatrick led the scoring with three touchdowns and Pete Shelton scored the fourth on a long pass play.

ETHER it be in trim, tapered slacks or short, swirling skirts, the cheerleaders manage to transform a mass of spectators into a unified cheering crowd, thrusting the team on to victory. Unfaltering in their school loyalty, they add pep and vitality to the gridiron and basketball court with their winning smiles and enthusiastic spirits. Newer and better formations were originated this year, thus making our gals with the megaphones six of the best cheerleaders who have ever defended the Tigers’ honor. Page 62 Football Letter men Ray Burton—Tackle Ray was the heaviest man on the squad, and probably the heaviest in the County League. His ability was recognized by receiving a position on the Cleveland A exes “Dream Team”, and being named All-County tackle. Clark Cramer—End Although Brud was lacking in size, he played his position well, and his great determination enabled him to receive his first varsitv letter this year. Jim Crink—Center Jim earned his second letter at center this year, and could always he counted on to split the uprights for that extra point. Jon Fitzpatrick—Halfback hitz was considered as one of the best running halfbacks in the county. His speed and deception enabled him to break loose from the opposition and gain much yardage. Because of his ability and leadership he was placed on the Cleveland Sews “Dream Team , and voted Co- Captain and most valuable player on the squad. Bob Hudson—Tackle Bob’s size and strength was a determining factor in the Tiger line throughout the season. His spirit and fortitude were recognized by the fact that he was awarded the annual Rotary Gold Book Award. Mike McNally—Fullback “Nailer displayed his versatility in the back field as he played both halfback and fullback for the I igers. Regardless of his size he sparked the defensive team and was always a threat to the opposition’s passing attack. John Miller—End Not only was John capable of playing his offensive position well, but his alertness as defensive end greatly stabilized the Tigers’ defense. Fete Shelton—End bred was perhaps one of the l est all-around football players in the history of Chagrin balls. His outstanding ability and reputation as a triple threat in passing, running, and kicking enabled him to secure a position on the All-County team. Pete’s teammates showed their appre- ciation by electing him Co-Captain of the Tiger squad. Page 63 Jerry Worley—Guard Jerry was always willing to fill in at a guard position anytime lie was needed. His aggressiveness and industrious attitude helped him to earn his first letter this season. Phil Hanning—Pnd Phil proved to he a competent pass receiver and was very capable of playing his end position well. He should see a lot of action with the Tigers next year. Bob Butler—Quarterback Bob earned his first letter this season mostly as a defensive hack. His excellent tackling and alertness made him a threat to many opposing teams. Phil Cleaveland—Guard Phil played a rugged and determined game at his guard position. Much will he expected of him next year in the Tigers' forward wall. AI Flynn—End After a year of absence. A1 returned to Chagrin and turned in a fine performance as a defensive end. He received his first varsity letter this year. Dave Hill—Guard Dave will probably be one of the best linemen in the league next fall. His savage charge made it uncomfortable for opposing centers, and his hard blocking was greatly appreciated by his teammates. Joel Jones—Quarterback Joel was unable to finish the season because of a hand injury, hut his dependable services in the first half of the season strengthened the Tigers' offensive and defensive backfield. Bill Moyse—Center Switching from guard to center seemed to agree with Bill as he per- formed very well throughout the season. He will be a mainstay in the Tiger line next fall. Stan Stoney—Guard Stan was perhaps the most improved player on the squad. His ability to break open the opposing line enabled the Tiger backs to gain much yardage. Page 64 Jim Van Gorder—Halfback Speed and agility were all that was necessary for Jim to break loose for many long runs. His position in the Tigers’ pony back combination proved deadly to the opposition many times during the season. Pete Van Nort—Quarterback Although Pete was considerably tall for a quarterback, he did a com- mendable job directing the team through many victories. His leadership and excellent hall-handling will he greatly appreciated next fall. Larry H'iley—Fullback Larry’s services were lost to the Tigers in the latter part of the season because of an injury. However, his powerful running and outstanding ability as a linebacker were recognized by the fact that he was named Press Star by many coaches representing opposing teams. Charles Vunkes—Tackle Bud gained enough experience at tackle this season to earn his first letter and to prepare himself for a starting position next year in the Tiger line. George Camp—Fullback Although only a sophomore, George possesses the qualities needed to become an outstanding player in his remaining years. His size and weight will strengthen the l iger hackfield in years to come. Gary Curtiss—Halfback Gary proved to be a fine kicker and hard runner. He will he a promising prospect for a starting role next year. H ard 'Tilton, Mike Carlton, Torn Mattern, Mark Smith—Managers This year these managers turned in another fine job as the men behind the scenes. Ward received his second letter, and Mike, Tom, and Mark received their first. Their work and dependability were highly appreciated by the entire squad and by the coaches as well. Head Coach Ralph Quesinberry Coach, completing his seventh year as head mentor at Chagrin, proved again that he can always produce an outstanding football team. His individual interest in the hoys he coached made him very popular, and because of their admiration for him the team always tried to come up with another victory.
