CHANEY HIGH ANNUAL Q aes Qglpropclsliesy ,J AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS By Helen Si pos rom up in the composing room, the printer, Ernest Schoenhut, called, Hey, Helen, the city editor wants to see ya. The city editor, Isabel Donahue, gave me my assignment, Since this is June 17, 1947, go and look up our old classmates of the first graduating class of Chaney High. Write a feature story that will bring tears to the eyes of a potato. I left the office-but where to begin? just around the corner, at Phelps and Wood streets, I saw an accident. A Packard car driven by Ralph Jordan, chauffeur of Miss Erma Grice, collided with Fredericka Bardon, the first woman football coach at Ohio State. She was rushed to the hospital where the attending physician, Leo Spain, who also owns the controlling interest in the Berry M. Deep Undertaking Establishment, gave this bit of advice to anyone whom it may concern or anyone else-take it no extra charge QWe known he learned it from his Senior English teacher years agoj. Don't take life too seriously, you can't get out of it alive. just then I saw Vedabel Young who was on her way to the state legislature to in- troduce a bill for the extermination of any and all freshman. She was accompanied by Senator Helen Roxbury, who will try to introduce the same measure in the U. S. congress. As we were chatting, the champion loafer of the world, James Barnes, the owns the Barnes Bed Co., Inc.j joined us. He told me that Louise Stough is the elocution teacher, while Marjorie Metcalfe is the singing instructor at the Deaf and Dumb Institute. A parade passed by on Federal Street. It was the Society For the Repression of All Flappersf' headed by James Marks. I doubted his sincerity as he winked at Freda McKnight, the ideal American girl of 1947 fshe won this title at the Atlantic City Beauty Contestj. Leaving my friends I went to the courthouse. There I saw Attorney Charles Gallagher pleading before Judge John Crosbie that Clifford Scannell deserved a divorce from Helen Kollar Scannell. Remembering Spike, I only wondered that it took the poor boy so long to find out. 29

Cl-l.XN1'Y HIGH ANNUAL Through persistent efforts we secured the front seats for assemblies and the privi- lege of leaving the auditorium in a dignified fashion-without being run down by mere children. XVe were permitted to be real society on November 2, 1926 and staged our first Senior party. With the successful closing of our first semester at Chaney, we became advanced Seniors and our work began. W'e established an enviable record of achievement in basketball by winning the class championship as well as by defeating our Worthy oppon- ents, the faculty. Some of us set about to record the facts of our school history, while others attempted to add to our list of success by displaying the theatrical inclinations of the class and gave a three-act comedy Adam and Eva in the school auditorium on Friday, May 27. 3 v-, I 1 'O o 5' , K g , fi lf! t wlf l ll X . i I 3 J! 5 ,' ' , ,rl J.

CHANEY HIGH ANNUAL After buying a paper, I found out that Archie Rider had become president of the United States because of his ancestors. The paper also stated that Benjamin Vaughn, the famous bootlegger who was apprehended soon after graduation, had served his twenty year term. He will join Esther Olsavsky in a partnership. They will repro- duce antiquated relics-starting with hair pins. Under Lillie Robinson's advice to the love-lorn I found this: Dear Miss Robinson: My wife, Thelma Cruickshanks Hainaut has made a hen pecked husband, she in- sists that I eat peas with a knife. For old times sake help me. . Charles Hainaut. I entered St. Joseph's church. As Sylvia Bloch played, Here Comes the Bride, I saw Nick Sopkovich promise to love, honor and obey, the younger of the Dolly twins. They will live scrappily ever after, I suppose. When I reached the H. H. H. QHonor Hawkins Hospitalj I found Margaret Ondash in tears. Her patient had died. The doctor had told this pretty, but sophisticated nurse to administer as much of a powerful opiate as would cover a dime. She used two nickles instead. Isabel Russel is here suffering from softening of the heart. She forgot she was born in Scotland and paid her Senior dues. When I saw John Tarkanish he was up in the air. John is an aviator. At the Thomas Griffith's Theater I saw, Coming Attractions, Dorothy Timlin, the vamp of the movies in, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, When There are No Brunettes Present. This great scnario which caused a riot in Timbuktu was written by Nell Broderick. In this connection I might mention that Mildred Kornsweet has completed a book with the greatest vocabularly--it is a new compilation of the dictionary. Nelson Pabst is very proud of a new position, he has very many men under him, he is an aeronaut. His glory is only rivaled by john Kelly, who owns an exclusive Second Hand Store in New York. Theresa Herman also has a very high position. She is a window washer at the top floor of the Woolworth Building. Miss Dorothy Filmore's Rolls Royce was stolen from in front of the old maids con- vention. The sleek, black-haired villain, Nick Johnson is suspected, but he claims to be a gentlemen since he calls hot dogs boiled canines. No one can say ou? class has not done its share in cleaning up Youngstown. Our famous street cleaner is none other than William jaspers, and we have our Parson Dut Cole. awww' t 'gi'fW,'h . gn ziiiSi2Ivie3'f1ZQ'5zi,az -2?
