Chagrin Falls High School - Zenith Yearbook (Chagrin Falls, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1959 volume:

Foreword I do not presume that thisforewardwill be read by you for at least twenty years. Or, if you do hap- pen to glance at it some time this year, then perhaps the few things that I have to say might stir you to wonder—just a little. Many from your class will be headed for college, some will go into the service, and still others will be entering the working world. Each venture is important. A person becomes educated in whichever field he chooses, whether he enters college or digs a ditch. The important thing is to be a good student or dig a good ditch--the best that your capabilities will permit. Our country has entered the race for survival with another power of the world. Only the future will tell whether we are strong enough to live with this power or be subjugated by it. The handwriting is on the wall and the challenge is in evidence throughout Russia— Reach and Surpass America. We chose to ignore Hitler's warning in MEIN KAMPF until it was almost too late. Will YOU choose to ignore the Russian threat? America's hope lies with you—its youth. Only through you and your capacities of enthusiasm, de- sire, and pride can this country continue to lead the free world. You and other 1959 graduates MUST meet the challenge. Don't let John do it! Check your inventory and see how you stack up when it comes to Pride, Use of Time, Desire, Goals, and Values. This foreword is not meant to be a lecture. I hope you don’t take it as such. Instead, if we of the faculty of your high school have tended to inspire you to take a step toward doing your very best in life, then we have succeeded. May you do the same. Dr. Robert M. Finley, Superintendent of Schools 4 Miss Kathryn E. Warner Dedication ... In the three years you have been with us, you have demonstrated your outstanding teaching ability and your frank honesty both in and out of the classroom. We remember how, in past years, you have rescued many of us from the mathematical oblivion into which we had unfortunately stumbled. And we remember the help and guidance you have given us as advisor to the Y-Teens last year and this year to our Student Council. Each of us has some memory of you: Your familiar face as you stand beside the door to Room 9; your insistence on having things done the right way; or the quick honest replies you al- ways had for our questions. Now, with these and many other memories in our minds, we dedicate this 1959 ZENITH to you. .

I.---: Faculty In Memoriam Regis P. Mourier A man whom we all knew and respected passed away on Decem- ber 13 of this our Senior Year. That man was Regis Mourier. High School Guidance Counselor and Junior High School Principal. Some- where along the line he had done something for each one of us. whether it was a friendly word of advice about our future or an interpretation of a test which told us what we could and couldn’t expect of ourselves. He was a man great with sincerity and a genuine love for the teaching profession. This page is dedicated in tribute to the tall man whose passing shocked and saddened us all. 22 Superintendent Dr. Robert M. Finley B.S.J. B.S. in Ed. M. in Ed. Ph. D. Administrators Principal T. C.

It is the voice of the students, the median between the faculty and the student body. Your class representatives try to represent your ideas and feelings as well as they are able to do.

In addition to our regular projects, such as the weekly activities bulletin board, keeping football and basketball statistics, and promoting good school spirit through our members, we undertook such projects as the World Clothing Week Drive, a campaign to support the teams and revitalize school spirit, and the November Ballot Battalion. We hope by this and by our meetings and participation in conventions of Key Club International to develop into better citizens and to grow in friendship with all people.

Tiger Rag Claudia Mayner...................................................................Editor Betty Ricker..........................................................Assistant Editors Kathy Alcorn Mrs. Coates.....................................................................Advisor This year the Tiger Rag, edited by a volunteer staff, was a monthly publication. With the aid of the Chagrin Valley Herald, we were able to have the paper printed out of school. As a result we extended our sales to the grade schools and have been able to sell about six hundred copies each month. Through the paper, the voice of the students of our high school and grade schools have been transmitted to many other schools in Northern Ohio, and to the folks at home around Chagrin. 46 Falls Art Club Meta Strick . Pete Warner , Pearl Bayless . . . President Vice President . . . Secretary The Art Club is designed to create interest in different areas of art not usually covered in class periods. About once a month a speaker from the Chagrin Falls area comes to the meeting to acquaint the members with new ideas, or to show them special art work. Field trips are taken, one always to the Cleveland Museum of Art, another to the Regional Scholastic Art show at Halle’s. The Art Club is truly worth- while to any interested student.

Our social activities included attending dramatic presentations in the area such as UNCLE VANYA at the Cleveland Playhouse and the Kent State Players' version of ANASTASIA. We presented Mardi Gras, the first costume dance in C.F.H.S. history and sponsored several other social func- tions throughout the year.

Fred Kiel Advisor................................. Mr. Richmond The Junior Council has had many profitable experi- ences this year despite the fact that the first year of a new club is difficult and often awkward. In accordance with the main purpose of our club, we have held discus- sions on predominant world affairs, visited the Cleve- land Council, heard talks by noted men, and seen movies of great interest to satisfy our vision of the story behind the headlines of the foreign affairs. Our big ac- complishment was participating in the Cleveland area mock United Nations Assembly in Lakewood. Our Council represented Japan and chose Ned Nakagawa, the C.F.S. exchange student, to help prepare the twelve elected representatives. The entire club bene- fited from this teaching: learning customs, government background, and political issues of Japan. The club owes a great deal of its initial success to Mrs. Wentz and Mr. Richmond for their patient and intelligent help. At our meetings we used parliamentary procedure and found it very effective.

OFFICERS President............................Carol Neidhardt Vice President.......................Betty Lou Ricker Treasurer............................Perry Petersen Secretary............................Jean Gurney This year the Future Teachers of America have been able to continue the program of assisting ele - mentary teachers with their classes. In doing this, the student is able to receive a true understanding of the teaching field so that he may decide whether or not he is really interested in going into the field of educa- tion. During our meetings throughout the year we have had speakers, movies, and discussions covering topics such as teaching in integrated schools, experiences en- countered while student teaching, and advantages and disadvantages of teaching. There is no doubt that this has been a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile year. BOTTOM, (Left to Right): Hope, Jones, Odenweller, Lackey, Miraglia, Kroening, MIDDLE: Miles, Hurst, Hill, Wood.

During the course of the year, girls in Leaders Club participated in soccer, volleyball, and basket- ball games as well as in track activities. The games were played with similar organizations from other schools in the area and with the men faculty. LEFT TO RICHT: Gilson, Neidhardt, Mayner, Gurney, Wagner, Terry, Rufener, Wilson.

Varsity Club. Our main function this year has been to raise money in order that we may be of service to other organizations in need of financial aid. The club has raised this money in various ways: the members have sold basketball programs, spring jackets, tickets to the Sportsman Show, and have sponsored sock- hops and car washes. One other important function, although not money-making, is that the members of the Varsity Club have boosted the school pride. We have encouraged the wearing of letter sweaters, and have also painted signs with various slogans for the school and athletic events. A great deal of the suc- cess of the Varsity Club can be attributed to the fine leadership and get-ahead drive of our advisor, Coach Jim Thedieck. 53 Radio Club FIRST ROW, Left to Right--Bauman, Swaye, Price, Jefferson, Woodrich.

The Camera Club is unusual in its pur- pose of organization. While increasing our knowledge of photography, the club has served in the extremely practical sense of being an economical method of developing and printing our own film.

No one will ever forget the problems we had when there were no trumpets or bass drum player, when the lights all went out while we were playing The Star Spangled Banner, and when there was no music for the saxes. But regardless of all our little problems, we have enjoyed working together and have done our best to boost the morale of the students and other spectators at home basketball games.

With the return of several State contenders, Coach Ralph Quesinberry was looking for- ward to a successful season. Art Davidson, A1 Pickford, Orlo Mc- Kibben, and Dave Dunbar, all State runners-up last year, were expected to provide the nucleus for this year’s team. FIRST ROW: Shelton, Mitchell, Davidson. SECOND ROW: Otis, Still- man, Cahill, Pettibone. THIRD ROW: Hallstrom, McKibben, Dunbar, Johannisson, Pickford, Whaley. So this is wrestling? Wrestling This was the first season that wrestling has been introduced into the school athletic curriculum. Under the capable tutelage of Coach Ray Tamowski, a former wrestling champ himself, a large group of freshman- sophomore boys were taught the basic fundamentals of wrestling. It is hoped by Coach Tarnowski that, in the future, wres- tling will become a major sport in CFHS. FIRST ROW: Noble, Cowlin, Engstrom, Biel, Gilson, Buus. SECOND ROW: Rice, Adler, Swan, Nakagawa, Alcorn, Carpenter. THIRD ROW: Coach Tarnowski, McNally, Robin- son, Haldeman. Exchange Students ANNIE RICOUTAT, France The '59 Seniors were uniquely fortunate this year to have TWO foreign exchange students. We were even more fortunate because these students were such outstanding people, extremely able to teach us their way of life. We will always remember and appreciate the opportunity that Annie and Ned have given us to understand people of other lands. They have our best wishes for success in future years, for we know their abilities will carry them far. 88 Betty Lou, Jacqui, Sandy, Meta, Mary, Shirley, Vicki, Lee, Bill, Al, Phelps, John, Pat, and also Judy and Mary Lynn, wish to show their thanks.
