Senior Class Histor The Queen appointed the following to her Court of Honor: Maid of Honor, lean Fink and eight lovely maidens, namely: Shirley Minich, Sally Carrier, Dorothy Canoe, Margaret Palo, Dorothy Yeany, Mary Klepfer, Thelma Young, and Mary Cross. The King's Court of Honor consisted of: Charles Corbett, Gerald Rhoades, Victor Collett, Dean Buzard, Laird Shingledecker, Leonard Seigworth, Ray Ser- vey, and Bill Aaron. We surely enjoyed the music rendered by Sandy Cherico and his Kadets. With the graduation of our special friends, the Seniors, we ended our Junior year ready for our last lap of the journey the following fall. September 3, 1946 saw us back at C-L with our long-time friend Miss Stewa1't and a new member, Mrs. Filson as our advisers. We readily welcomed the new members from Corsica, Hawthorne, Union Township, and Strattanville and after becoming acquainted chose our pilots as follows: President . ..,.,. .. ....... ...,.... B ill Kerr Vice-President .,... ..,.. B arbara Lucas Secretary ,.,.. ,,.. ,,.. .i,. ......... S h i r ley Minich Treasurer . .. .. ,.,........,...............,....,.........,..,,.. Victor Collett Senior year found the treasury quite depleted with 8178.26 to our credit but we settled down and pitched right in by sponsoring a movie. Everyone went all out for this and we came across with a profit of 810878. Our next attempt to make money was a skating party at Brookville and our proceeds totaled 82652. Of course our big project for this year was the yearbook and the 'expenses were to exceed 81200.00 The Advertising Committee raised 8842.00 which was more than their quota. The magazine sales went over very well with Captains Shirley Minich and Barbara Lucas leading one team and Captains Patty McKinley and Dorothy Canoe leading the other team. Rewards were given for those who secured the greatest number of subscriptions. Shirley Minich won the pen and pencil set. Sally Carrier, Emerson llaybuck, and Margaret Palo were other winners. The profits totaled 826088. The class, sales of Christmas cards topped any other classes known. A total of 8216.00 profit was realized. Business activities did not occupy all our time. The Christmas Party in Miss Stewart's room was a great success where everyone got his fill and received his many gifts. At this writing our plays havenit been given but rehearsals are in full swing and we have great possibilities of topping any play yet. This we hope to do by the cooperation of all members. We are now nearing the last few days of our most eventful journey. We will soon leave our plane but none of us will ever forget our good times or work to make our class a most successful and prosperous class. Our future is bright. 23

JOHN RAYBUCK ' A JOHN SHIREY gg i RJ Senior Class istor It was a great day for us when our soaring plane took off on September 3, 1943 with Miss King and Mr. Tremba as pilots to guide our class. We were a little scared and of course agreenv but we soon got our books and were settled for our first flight. The one main event of the Freshman year was initiation but our many pig- tails, hair bows, and the boys' painted faces added much color to the school day. After we all became acquainted the class officers were elected in this order: President ,...r..,. ....,.,..... 4 .. 4 4 .4 lean Fink Vice President . 4 . .4 ....

We landed for the summer in many different communities but on September 3, 1944, we came back again for our second flight. This year Miss Evans and Mr. Riley were our pilots.

. Senior Class Prophecy - l947 Ladies and Gentlemen: This is Margaret Palo, broadcasting from the aerodrome on the Island of Oahu. As I stand here, I can see many of our prominent citizens who were members of the ,47 class. As I glance ahead of me, I see Captain Iohn Raybuck talking with Max Shofestall and giving him a few point- ers on army life. With him are a number of other colleagues, Chester Daugherty, Robert Kahle, and Bill Kerr who have been recently dis- charged from the Army. I approach them and we start chatting about old school days. Bob invites me to attend a ban- quet and a dance. The banquet IS being held at Serveyis Country Club, because Ray is the prosperous manager. His assistant manager is Bill Raybuck. His staff of employees includes Pauline George as head waitress and Mary Lou Kifer as assistant waitress. The dining room of the Club is attractively decorated by the skillful hands of Frances Car- rier, a graduate of VVisconsin Art University and who now employs a staff of assistants: Marie Pasquerette, Anastasia Aaron, Dorothy Repoff, and Emma Jean Wilson. After dinner we dance to the music of Jay Kesner and his Rhythm Boys, starring Dorothy Yeany as vocalist. The song feature of the even- ing is Carry Me Back to Old C-Lv written by Lois Glenn. The entertainment is about to begin and Gerald Rhoades, the toastmaster, has ad- vanced to the speaker's platform. First on the program is the renowned radio star, Mary Cy- phert, who plays a piano solo. Another famous star present is Bonnie Smyers. Gerald Rhoades is now introducing Frank Hilliard, Jr., the main speaker of the evening. Iunior, who has just re- turned from his globe-trotting expeditions, will speak on The Blessings of Homef, Entertainers who will follow Mr. Hilliard are: Harold Har- mon and Tom Myers, famous comedians, and Marian Orcutt, who will play a coronet solo. Later in the evening, Mary White is going to enact a scene from Too Many Wivesf, While the guests are filing into the Club, I shall tell more about the members of our class who are present tonight. There is Barbara Lucas, head nurse in a large hospital in Minne- apolis. Ready to assist Miss Lucas is Patty McKinley, an occupational therapist. Dean Buz- ard, a research chemist, has just walked into the dining-room. On the dance floor are many people we have seen before. They are: Loretta Bish, noted nov- elist, Clair Burns, professional ball player for the Cleveland Rams, Ioanne Iones, expert hair sty- list, and Mary Brown, proprietress of the Smart Set Shop. We have several business men here tonight who are holding a conversation concerning busi- ness prospects. Allen Shute seems to be winning his point by his forceful words. Iames Shaul, re- cently discharged from the Navy, is listening in- tently, so that he can get back into the swing of things. Another member of that group is Victor Collett, owner of a large fleet of trucks. His assistant, Harry Wolfgang, was not able to attend this evening because he is on the West Coast on business. Arriving here for a short rest are William Aaron and Emerson Raybuck, owners of pros- perous farms. Doyle Orcutt is surrounded by an interested group. He is telling them about a few of his adventures on his last trip to India and Burma. There are several teachers here tonight rep- resenting many different schools. Nancy McKin- ley has made great success as a kindergarten teacher. Jean Fink and Charlotte Simpson are teaching social studies at Clarion-Limestone High School. Mary Gross is a music teacher in the Pittsburgh Schools, and Charles Corbett is a bas- ketball coach. VVhile at the banquet, I meet two prominent business men, Leonard Seigworth, manager of the Curtiss-Wright Airplane Factory on Oahu, and Paul Rhoades, President of the Research Lab- oratories, who invite me to see their prosperous and modern factory, built by Dolby-Shingle- decker Contracting Firm of Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania. This Hrm employs a staff of efficient sten- ographers: Gloria Kennemuth, Thelma Young, Mary Klepfer, and June Taylor. As I am leaving the factory, I meet lane Ros- sey who is on her way to the Central Beauty Salon, which is owned and operated by Shirley Minich. Her assistants are Dorothy Ganoe and Sally Carrier. Returning to the Club, we see some late- comers, including Louella Brockway, a dean of women of an exclusive girls, school in Pittsburgh and Mary Alexander, a successful stenographer, employed by a large industry in Columbus, Ohio. I now hear the first strains of our Alma Mater and everyone rises as Alice lean Stahlman leads us in the song.
