Penmanship The task of keeping the schools of the city, the grades as well as the High School, in order and in accord with the highest standards, is a difficult one. This is the task of Superintendent C. M. Dickey, and he does it with credit and fidelity. Conneaut is fortunate in having this wise and capable administrator at the head of her schools. To assume the duties laid down by the resignation of so splendid and honored a teacher and leader as Miss Kahler was the task Mr. V. R. Henry was asked to assume. He has proven himself able to fill the place with ability and merit. He meets his problems in a straight forward fashion and always secures the correct results. Mrs. Edna Hundertmark, because of her splendid ability as teacher, as friend, as adviser, has endeared herself to the students of Conneaut High School. In addition to her regular duties she has ably directed the Dramatic Club, the Senior Girls’ Club, this year’s Operetta and the Senior Play. Conneaut High School feels deeply indebted to Mrs. Hundertmark for her untiring efforts in its behalf. This year Mr. Gnagey has proved his loyalty to C. H. S. He has not only coached the Debate Team, but has ably directed the regular Tattler and Senior Tattler Boards. The students of Conneaut High School feel that a great deal of praise and honor should be awarded Mr. Gnagey’s most successful efforts. 12 THE SENIOR TATTLER- 13 •tup: senior tattler— The Senior High School, which this volume represents, consists of three classes—the sophomore, the junior, and the senior. Until recent years it had been a four year school, including the freshman along with the above mentioned three classes. In the spring of 1924 the new Junior High School building was completed, and the junior high school pupils, including freshmen, took occupancy. On May 16,1924 the Junior High received its charter and became a distinct system in itself, entirely separated from this school. The Senior High School, therefore, consists of the upper three classes-sophomore, junior, and senior, while the Junior High School consists of grades seven, eight, and nine (freshman).

So on we journeyed for three more years— Growing wiser as day by day passed, Learning to “work,” and “study,” and “think,” Gaining knowledge that will forever last. Ah, Classmates, how we hate to part! These years have brought us nearer; The days that we’ve in study spent, Have made our friends seem dearer. So here’s to the school we love the best, Here’s to our High School days— Here’s to the glorious white and blue, E’er on it may we gaze. Here’s to our faculty and classmates dear, Here’s to the happiest days we’ve met, For the golden haze of the student days Is wound about us yet. 16 TIIE SENIOR TATTLER Pearl Dunnin ton With many thots and few expressed, are Sure to remind you of signs to set you right.

What it it? The W. C. T. U., a Portugese funeral or a quack doctor? No, brother, better yet. That’s the class of ’25 going out of Conneaut High School for the last time. It's time they did some celebrating. They have a great deal to be proud of. From the time when as Freshies, they made a green little Freshle bow to Minerva, till now, they’ve had a prominent part in school activities. Sports, debating, dramatics, they excelled in everytning. Here they come, folks! Don’t crowd. We know they’re worth seeing. Who is that leading them? Foolish question. Don’t drummers always lead a parade and hasn’t Johnny Hines drummed us through four long years. Yes, we’ve quite an orchestra. Make way for Kill Taylor. It’s hard work blowing that horn but Dill can do it. He is seriously interested in the ministry. Do you wonder why? Cease wondering and turn your gaze upon the pretty girl beside him. Our orchestra wouldn’t be complete without Elizabeth Robertson playing the violin. Fiddlin' isn't her only talent, either. She has as many friends. Who could want more? As Jacqueline in •‘The Pirate’s Daughter,” she proved her dramatic ability, and as Editor of the Tattler—Well that speaks for itself. Don’t puzzle us any longer. What is this coming? A piano, of course. Three guesses now, as to who is playing. Only one is needed—Alice Marsh. We bet they’ve asked her to take a post-graduate course next year, so she can keep playing for them. Honestly tho 1 think they hate to see any of us go. What makes that piano move? It must be George Cheney. He came over from East Conneaut to be Alice’s right hand man. Basketball manager, one of the Tattler staff and a few other things. East but not least in our orchestra is Duane Herrick. Didn’t you know that he played? Oh yes! Dut's an artist. He’s very modest about it, though. I’ll let you in on a vicious little secret. He plays the mouth organ, when you coax him. We heard him in the study hall, one morning. But he helped uphold our honor in sports. Fine fellow too—Better get acquainted with him. We couldn’t all be in the orchestra. Here comes the rest of us. We take pleasure in introducing our president, Alex Smart. Don’t act shy. Al. we know you. like you. too. That’s why you are our president. Another shining light in athletics. (Jet out the honor medal. Here comes Hilma Kolehmainen. She was on the debate team, the winning side. One reason we like Hilma is that she is one of these bright people who are willing to help us lesser mortals, when we come to problems too deep for our intellects to grasp. We are proud of her as our Valedictorian. There is Mary Leet. She tried to convince us that she didn’t deserve second honors but Mr. Henry knew. He averaged the marks on an adding machine. Polly is strong for woman suffrage and sports. You’re liable to meet her any morning taking a ten mile jaunt before school. James Keating is one of our best debaters. We don’t wonder that he made the team—he learned to argue in Civics class. We don’t know where Jimmie learned to act but he surely can. His work in the Operetta proved that. Now. folks, don’t get excited, it’s not a fire. Just our two red-headed Seniors. Blanche Humble and Ellen Clarke. Blanche made a real cute, little Dutch maiden in. “The Pirate’s Daughter.” Well chosen, for they say she loves sauerkaut. Ellen is a businesss woman. Just because she doesn’t wear spectacles and mannish clothes, don’t think that she Is not efficient. Th« Tattler couldn’t ask for a better Business Manager. Make way, folks! Here comes an actor. John Barrymore II, alias Albert O’Brien. As Peter in the Operetta and Adam in the Senior play, he was a knockout. With that voice, Al. it’s a wonder some Victrola Company hasn’t signed you up to make records. Since Al is leaving this year, it is well for the school that he has such an efficient understudy. No, these two are not twins but they are brother and sister. Howard and Ednah McMahon have beaten a path from East Conneaut to our front door. Ednah seems quiet, but is great fun when you know her. Howard is our baseball hero. Howard! Isn’t there another in our class bearing that cognomen? Oh. Howard Price, how could I forget you? You who have been our cheerleader for four years and you have caused the teachers so much worry. I wonder if Miss Geyer will miss Don Parker’s daily boxing exhibits in her English class. About half way down this procession, notice those three couragious looking girls. Mary Abbott. Mary Fotch and Ruth Ring are always seen scurrying around the halls with their arms full of books, which makes one think of shorthand and bookkeeping. The mere thoughts of such things take courage. Speaking of courage. Inez Holcomb and Charlotte Gllbraith have their share. They are two of th few brave enough to take Eatin for four years. Arthur Halliday is in that class, too. The only boy! Is that courage, nerve or intentional? You ask who that quite little, dark-haired girl is. That’s Florence Tinney, not so meek as you might think. They say that the Irish have tempers but we have found Tinney to be the best kind of a friend. Tinney isn’t the only representative of old Erin. Here comes Cletus Kelley. We couldn’t forget him. nor would we want to. We need some of these light-hearted people to keep us amused. We've heard that he has a stubborn disposition though. There is some one missing in the parade—Oh. yes. Kathleen Watson. She was forced to leave school because of illness. We still consider her as one of our number, however. Yes. they do look tired, but no wonder. They come all the way from Amboy. Verna Gillespie and Maurice Baird have come this very morning. Genevieve Kellogg used to come with them, but acccord-ing to all reports she has moved to town. Donald Twlchell hasn’t been in our class long but we look upon him as a long-time friend. Curling iron manufacturers could go out of business If we all had hair like Helen King. She was very sweet as the maid In the Senior play. Do you want to meet an all-round good fellow? Here comes one—Dave Clark. Dee is our hard working stage manager. The only thing we don’t like about him is his disloyalty' to his class. He takes a marked interest in the Sophomore class. Tynie Forest. Jennie Sarela. Martha Jarvi and Impie Herpy don’t have to belong to the Hiking Club to get their exercise. They walk to and from the Harbor every day. Those girls coming now are not dressed no just for the parade. They are honest-to-goodness diamonds that you see and are to be worn forever. Fayetta Haefner and Dorothy Huston are wearing them. Good luck, girls. Gavlord Smith is a Civics shark. We have great hopes for him and also for Clarence Koellicker. another living ray of intellectual fire. (continued on page 79) 29 THE SENIOR TATTLER THE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 11% ARTHUR (jiOl:I DI (i On ihe opposite side of this page you read the history of the class of 1925, Conneaut high school. The writer of that document had an easy task compared with mine. She had the tangible record of the brilliant achievements of a glorious class to work with, but my task is to unfold the future of these self-same individuals; to lift the veil from a period, say fifteen years hence, and speculate on these seniors not as they have been or as they are but as they shall be; to locate, as it were, each star in his or her respective place in the firmament. So now prepare; the spell is upon me, my charm is beginning to work. All ready I can see our illustrious president, Alexander Smart, sitting in his office on Wall street determing the financial des-tin of the nation. While in New York recently, I visited Mr. Smart at his office, i had a great deal of difficulty in securing an Interview, but when he found out who it was that wished to see him 1 was admitted at once. My curiosity over his eagerness to see me was settled by his first words. “1 would appreciate if you would pay me the dollar and a half you still owe for Senior dues.” After relieving his anxiety on that point, 1 persuaded him to relax from his duties for an afternoon and show me the city. Upon descending from his office, I was a trifle surprised when I found that the elevator operator was Arloean Dean, for I knew that her performances with a Ford are not to her credit. Nevertheless we were safely, if not slowly, deposited on the ground floor. As we were going out of the building, I saw in a display window an instrument invented by a man named Hines, that, when attached to a sewing machine, would enable it to produce radio music, i was getting worried over who was going to pay the car fare, for my mother had always warned me against carrying large sums of money with me, when Alex came to my rescue and suggested that we drive down in his Rolls Royce. I considered this a good suggestion until I found out his chauffeur was Ellen Clark and then I informed Alex instantly that the walk would be beneficial to our health. As we started on our tour we noticed a large crowd gathered around a very excited Soap Box Orator. Judging from the name on the platform, one would take him to b Mr. Ivory whom I had seen widely advertised as being ninety-nine and three-fourths per cent. pure. Hut when with wild spasmodic gestures he started to sputter about swooping swallows snoring in the distance. 1 immediately recognized this would-be Demosthenes as our famous debator of “Ye olden school days. Janies Keating. (With apologies to Mr. Ivory long may he remain pure). Alex had kept himself well informed as to what the members of our class were doing. This was certainly interesting news to me. Blanche Humble, he said, had taken charge of the Destruction of French in C. H. S. Just then we passed a large sign which read. “Baker Baker, Auto Springs.” I noticed that the names were familiar. Alex informed me that Isabelle was head sales woman, while Irene tested each spring for durability. People hear quite a bit of Cletus Kelley now, for he cries newspapers in the busiest section of New York. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many of my former class mates in old New York and was ever on the alert hoping to see more of my fellow inmates of Conneaut high school. I was not disappointed in this, for I saw many more. Art Halliday, it seems, is not the only one of us who has attainted groat height, Gaylord Smith was formerly an air mail carrier but for economic reasons has been replaced by Russell Fancher. while Irma Myers, who. you will remember, greatly enjoyed playing post office while in C. H. S.. is postmistress of this route. Knowing the reputation of the Astor hotel. I, was growing anxious to view it. But as it came to view, Lo and Behold! the Astor had changed to a lily, in honor of Lily Bunker. In passing a large shoe store, 1 glanced in and saw a young man sur- rounded with shoe boxes piled three feet high, while the clerk was searching diligently for a larger pair of shoes. Because of this distinctive feature. 1 recognized the customer as George Cheney. I find that Albert O’Brien makes good use of his vocal organs in his struggle for existence. As we were passing a building just being constructed, I heard that familiar and melodious voice calling out More Bricks.” At this call I saw Don Parker grasp a brick in each hand, which is the union limit, and in-dicentally, stands in no great danger of being broken by Don. and rushed them to the industrious Albert. A short distance ahead we recognized Lucille Towne and Robert Andrews standing in front of an allotment, which was recently opened for sale. They were evidently making practical use of their experience gained in debate. Lucille firmly maintained that the colonial style would be more satisfactory, while Bob with equal ardor upheld the bungalow type. As they were siniiltaneoiisly bringing out some good points, we did not interrupt them. , Alex at this moment began to feel the pangs of hunger and since the feeling was mutual we entered a nearby restaurant. The place was marvelous and the waitresses did it full justice. Among the flock of fleet-footed dish-carriers I recognized Margaret Downer, Martha Jarvi and Alma Allberg. we observed two familiar figures sitting, or rather dozing, at a rear table, who appeared to have participated rather freely of beverages. Just as they reached their highest point of hilarity Ralph Downer, managing manager of everything imaginable, appeared and instructed Alma to conduct him to the door. Alma did this in a very unmanly way. As they were dragged past us we recognized them as Stanley Laird and Merwyn Liningcr. A few moments later and everything seemed to be coming my way, Margaret tilted her tray laden with hot coffee. She had recognized me. Alex, evidently jealous of all this attention I was receiving from the waitresses, seemed to think it advisable that we leave at once. He suggested that we get Maurice Baird, who lived a short distance away, and attend a circus which was on the bill for that day. There was a little delay in our program, however. Maurice said he would be delighted to attend a circus with us but he expected Genevieve home soon, and before leaving she had told him to have the ironing done when she returned. Both members of this family firmly believe that the man’s place is in the home. Maurice had received a Tattler recently and said there would be something in it of interest to us. Leaving Maurice to do his ironing we read the Tattler while making our way towards the circus. It held miny interesting things. Clarence Koelicker after taking the State Agricultural test realized that his talent lay along this line and now owns a mule ranch in South Africa. Clarence has named all of the mules Maxwellton because their braces are so bonnie. Lillian McGuire and Inez Holcomb have entered the agricultural field and are now trying to raise dates in Egypt. In a short article by Mr. Henry we read the startling news that he considered the high school priceless now that Howard had left. We were forced to postpone further reading, for by this time we had arrived at the entrance of the circus. As we turned to go into the grounds we were accosted by a man hobbiling along on one leg. Looking down. I realized at once that I was gazing into the sweet-smiling countenance of Lauri Ritari. After conversing with Rit several minutes I asked him by what strange accident it was that he had lost his leg. Rit then unfolded the heart-rending taleof how one dark and moonlight night while robbing Twitchel’s meat market he caught his leg in the sausage grinder. Being of a very generous disposition and feeling it our duty toward our former class-mate, Alex and I jointly contributed the price of a package of chewing gum. and showed our sporting blood by allowing Ritari to keep the gum just purchased. We noticed the towering form of Howard McMahon just in front of us. and hurrying ahead we finally reached him. Alex and T were very much surprised to find that Howard had survived the charms of the supposedly fair sex and still retained his freedom. What is the use of marrying. Howard tells us, now that the radio has made the phonograph so cheap? They not only last longer but the upkeep Is decidedly less. We were very glad to meet Howard for he paid our admission into the circus.

THE SENIOR TATTLER- THE ECONOMIES RESULTING FROM HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT. (Junior Prize Essay) Good roads are an important factor in the upward climb of civilization. High, way improvement is, therefore, one of the most beneficial public sei-vices. In the days when the Roman Empire was at the height of its power, good roads were the most important factor in keeping the country united not only in territory, but also in sentiment and relationship. The benefits of civilization were enjoyed in the daily-lives of the Romans before people had heard of them. Tlie rural schools and churches suffer lack of attendance because of poor roads. A few years hence, the children, educated in these institutions, will be active citizens and America’s standards of education will no doubt be lowered. Definite figures concerning how much good results to a community from some religious contact are not available, but it is a well—known fact that a small community where the people may drive over improved roads to church, is above the average in respect to morals. The wisdom of spending large sums of money upon road improvement has been questioned by several business men, however, statistics concerning relative value of property with and without good roads have been compiled by the National Highway' Department, which show- what good roads have really accomplished. The statistics which, were taken from eight counties, representing the typical dairying, mining, and lumbering districts of the United States, show'ed an increase in value from forty-five to one hundred and three percent, and a decrease ip the cost of hauling one ton for one mile, from thirty-three to eleven cents. Public opinion of a place is often influenced by the roads in that locality and very often an otherwise ideal community is spurned by business men because of the condition of its roads. Good highways is one of the most effectual ways to progress that a country-can employ. The life of a nation as well as that of a community is bettered by- good roads. The prosperity of the individual farmer becomes greater, the traffic of the railroads is increased, the consumer receives better supplies at lower prices and thus the beneficial effects continue in an ever-w-idening circle like a ripple produced by a stone cast into a body of water. Is the cost of new and improved roads necessary and legitimate? The experience of France, England and Germany prove that it is. In these countries, smooth level highways abound and the cost of hauling is one-half of the cost in the United States. A team of horses struggling along a mud road and endeavoring to draw half a load affords a striking comparision to a team drawing a heavily loaded wagon at a comfortable trot along an improved highway. This example must be multiplied by 6,000,000 in order to obtain the culminative effect of bad roads on traffic. The loss in dollars is serious enough for grave concern, but when the additional charge is made that bad roads are a menace to our health and our educational development, it constitutes an indictment of such severity as to demand the greatest consideration. It is not a well known fact that our miles and miles of bad roads constitute a great source of disease. By means of dust, germs enter the human system. This is particularly true of tuberculosis germs. How can the great medical doctors combat this dread disease w’hile we still have the menace of dirt roads ? One of the essentials to the prosperity of our country is the home owner whether he is a resident of the city or the country. All of the people who are interested in owning their own homes are also concerned in facilitating transportation to or from their homes. In a district where improved highways do not exist, we find that the larger numbers of persons do not own theirj own homes. In traversing a locality of this type, isolated from markets by mud and ruts, one is struck by the wastes of untilled land. A road cannot be built by- a single man; the community as a whole must unite in promoting this enterprise which is all-essential if the highest type of life is to be enjoyed. PEARL KUBECK. 36 -THE SENIOR T ATT I ,E R- 37 THE SENIOR TATTLER JUNIOR’S SOLILOQUY OF A SATURDAY EVENING To press, or not to press—that’s the question; Whether’t is nobler in the pants to suffer The shapes and creases of outrageous fortune. Or to take up irons against a sea of wrinkles. And by a pressing end them. To press,—to iron,— No cost; and by a press to say we end The wrinkles and the thousand natural bags that knees are heir to.—’t is a renovation Devoutly to be wish'd. To press.—to iron,— To scorch—perchance to burn! Ay, there’s the rub; For in that press of pants what burns may come When we have shuffled off our Sunday jeans. Must give us pause: There’s the fear That makes us disinclined to press our own; For who can bear the shame of creaseless trousers. Of burnished ankles, and shapeless seams. The disregard of women, and the spurns Made on the pants which greatly need a crease When he himself might rectify his shame With a hot iron? E. G.

It depicts the stirring adventure of a Knight of Arthur's Court, Sir Aka Demic. The noted English expert on matters pertaining to this period has interpreted the symbolism of the tapestry very effectively. We present herwith bis story of Sir Sloft-on-Top’s adventure. The tapestry is illustrated on the opposite page.) Sir Soft-on-Top set out into the World to obtain an education. On bis trusty can. Ford, be rode forth in order that he might gain knowledge. lie rode on and on, stopping only to fill his gas-tank, or to refresh his weary, creaking can with a draught of water. Finally, toward night fall, be laid his tired bones to rest, tethering Ford so it would not stray too far away. Here the tapestry takes up our hero, as he lies sleeping, sonorous snores thundering forth from the depths of his brazen armor. His adventure is depicted as occuring in a vision he had during his sleep, this being a very common method of recording the adventures of the Knights. In the First Picture of the Vision, entitled Sophomore, we see Sir Soft-on-Top entering the Senior High School. He is pure and innocent, untouched by the world-a veritable angel is he, after his three years’ sojourn in the Junior High School. He enters, melodiously strumming his harp, thinking that at last he has gained Paradise-the goal for Which all true Knights aim- But how badly mistaken is poor Sir Soft-on-Top! Yea, verily, how badly, how sadly mistaken is our brave hero Knight. The Second Picture of the Vision, entitled Junior, finds Sir Soft-on-Top in bad company. There are always serpents in every Paradise, and this particular one in no exception. Seniors there are-a Senior is a lordly being upon whom to gaze, but woe to the innocent Junior who falls into the clutches of one! Then there is the Faculty-a terrible old man of the sea who assigns certain Herculean labors which must be performed by each brave Knight- Sir Soft-on-Top's beautiful bright armor is beginning to become neglected and rusted. His harp is out of tune, strings broken, and uncared for- Truly Sir Soft-on-Top is in a sad plight! And then he is a Senior himself! And In has discovered that his supposed Paradise is false, and he has at last discerned the true goal for which he has been striving—it is Graduation, of which picture more will be said later. Sir Soft-on-Top realizes now that he is not in Paradise. The only way he knows of getting to this delightful place is by working hard, therefore he works harder and harder. But he is worried—he realizes that his Fate rests with the Old Faculty. So lie trys by every method known to appease the wrath of this hydraheaded monster. His success is inevitable, after much hard labor—a study of the Picture shows him bent over a desk, studying diligently, his thirst for an education never satisfied. One of the horrible—the least horrible, probably—heads of Faculty is seen in this Picture. Graduation arrives—everything does sooner or later. Our hero, in new raiment, a beautiful expression on bis face, parades solemnly across the Platform, and is handed his Diploma—and, horrible to relate, is dropped, unsuspected, into the World- Into the hurry and bustle of Life, which streams by him, never giving him a thought. What a rude awakening! What a cruel Fate! But the poor lad picks himself up and once more starts to work-—to make another try for his mirage—Paradise- TARZAN. Tarzan, roaming primeval forests, finds strange, oval-shaped objects. Several other apes, desire this object, and, in the scuffle, the object is dropped and kicked. One of the apes picks it up, starts to run, is tackled by several other apes and thus was the noble game of Foot ball invented. Also in this way, is rumored, Tarzan. our mighty foot-ball hero, acquired his marvelous proficiency in this great sport- ROUGH GOING A Ford is a noble animal-truly. yea verily, a wonderful animal is the Ford-and one of the remarkable things about a Ford is, it nearly always gets to the place for which it headed. Now, a Sophomore is likewise a wonderful animal. And, like the Ford, a sophomore nearly always gets to his goal. The Junior year of his glorious High School life. 43 THE SENIOR TATTLER Though the night of his Sophomore year he dark; though the moon be hidden behind dense banks of clouds an end to even the darkest, dreariest night must come, and the sun must inevitably rise over the distant hilltops. But a Sophomore, like a Ford, per-severes. SOPHOMORE'S IDEA OF CONCENTRATION As I have said above, a Sophomore is a queer animal. During study halls his queerness is apt to be particularly evident. For instance: walk down an aisle, watch each student’s face and when you locate one with a rapt, intent expression bent purposefully on a text book, be sure you have found one of these peculiar little animals. As a rule Sophomores are very shy, but a little questioning will usually bring forth a few words to the effect that the Soph-you have just caught was studying. And, 1 might add, this habit of looking at a book for periods at a time is not confined to the particular species under discussion, for, strange to relate, it has been known to exist among some of our lordly Juniors and Seniors- GREAT MEN We have in the Sophomore class many famous personages. One of the most famous, and one of whom we are justly proud, in our President, Hob Robison. Indeed, the artist has deemed our class President of sufficient fame to be classed with our President—“Cal” —and, to tell the truth, it is our opinion that “Cal” does not show up half as well as our own President-even tho he is President of these Cnited States. Bob has not had the chance that “Cal” has. Give the lad time, say we. Anyway, as the first candidate for a place in the Hall of Fame of Old C- II.

The officers: Robert Andrews, president; Hilma Kolehmainen, secretary. Hilma Kolehmainen, Glenn Reffner, Mary Dingman, Robert Andrews and Lucille Towne, from the club, and James Keating, at large, were selected by competitive try-outs to represent the high school in the Triangular County Debate with Painesville and Geneva. The debate coaches from the three schools convened at Ashtabula to discuss the proposition to be adopted which was: “Resolved, that the Philippine Islands should be granted independence from the United States within the next five years.” The affirmative team was composed of Hilma Kolehmainen, Glenn Reffner, and Mary Dingman; the negative team was composed of Robert Andrews, Lucille Towne, and James Keating. On Friday night, April 17th, Conneaut’s affirmative team defeated the negative team from Geneva in the home contest, while Conneaut’s negative team lost to the affirmative team of Painesville at Painesville. Painesville’s negative team lost to the affirmative team of Geneva. Thus the three schools finished in a tie, the affirmative team of each winning its contest while the negative team of each was losing. The teams were coached by Mr. Gnagey, who also had charge of the debate club up until April 8, when Mr. Harriman took charge of the club while Mr. Gnagey gave all his time to tlie selected teams.

Barnes, Robert Andrews, George Cheney, Howard McMahon. SECOND ROW: Pearl Dunnington, Arthur Goulding, William Taylor, Arthur Truelson. The C. H. 8. Hi-Y Club has accomplished a few things during the school term of 1924-25. Its largest undertaking was to make good on a twenty-five dollar pledge of last year for World-Wide Work. The treasury was entirely exhausted but the determination to find a way or make it in order to pay oft this debt was strong. By conducting a Checking Room at the big Basket-Ball Games and frequent candy sales, sufficient funds were realized to place the (’lid) in good standing with the State Association. The Check Room filled a long-felt need of those attending the games. Patronage increased steadily. Early in November the Club sponsored a Boys’ Mixer, which served to promote good feeling among the boys of C. II. 8. Pres. Whitney of the Rotary Club gave an interesting talk to the boys. The Club was well represented at the Older Boys’ Conference at Ashtabula, February 21. George Cheney was chosen Secretary of the Conference and he filled the place in a very efficient manner. Robert Andrews was selected Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions. Through his leadership a fine set of resolutions were presented to the Conference which accepted them unanimously and without change. The Club Members were invited to the home of their Leader January 28, where they were served a six o’clock dinner prepared and served by Mrs. Cable T. Barnes. Five new members and the Leader were initiated into the Club in true Hi-Y fashion- The five tortured ones were Pearl Dundington, Lee Woodworth, Gaylord Glenn, John Wellman, and John Kolehmainen- These activities, with several unmentioned coincidents, constitute the year’s program of the C. 11. 8. Hi-Y Club. 5(1 -THE SENIOR TATTLER- SENIOR GIRLS’ CLUB TOP ROW: Mary Leet, Irene Baker, Margaret Downer, Alma Ahlberg, Martha Jarvi.

King, Blanche Humble, Lilly For several years the need of an organization to promote more friendly relations and better comradeship among the girls of the high school with standards not to differentiate certain groups, has been felt. With this purpose in view the Senior Girls’ Club was organized this year under the direction of Mrs. Hundertmark. Every senior girl is a member of this club. The club was organized late in the vear and so is really still in its infancy. On February 5, the club gave a banquet for all the girls of the high school. About 60% of the girls of the school were present. It was generally voted that their Big Sisters entertained them royally. The success of the banquet has shown what can be done when the girls work with a unity of spirit. The Senior Girls have had a very merry time at their social functions, for at the Kid party at Mrs. Hundertmark’s, the well behaved children had a delightful time, and at the weiner roast at the lake not one fell in the water. Officers: President, Ruth Whitehead; Vice President, Hilma Kolehmainen; Secretary, Mary Abbott, Treasurer, Charlotte Gilbraith. 51 ORCHESTRA TOP ROW: Charles Maxon, Edmund Husted, Walter Patterson, William James.

SEATED: Ruth Whitehead, Helen King, Miss Brown, Librarian, Charlotte Gilbraith, Mary Abbott. For several years it lias been customary to have a Junior library staff trained at the city library by Miss Brown, the librarian. This staff took charge of the library after the spring vacation in their Junior year and up to Spring vacation in their Senior year. I his year the library staff has had charge of the library only during the morning periods and the city librarians have had charge in the afternoon periods. Each member has had the library at least one period a day for a month- 1 he library has been run very successfully and it has been due to tin work of this staff. . 4 —TIIE SENIOR TATTLER ORGANISMS AND OCTUPITIES The Senior Girls’ Club enjoyed a moonlight bathing party in the creek under the once-covered bridge on the South road on January 25th. The object of the party was to test out the fabric in the new spring bathing suits as well as to celebrate the beginning of the second semester. Ten of the girls came near drowning when they dove through the ice into the perilous depths but were rescued by Mrs. Hundertmark’s thoughtfulness when she threw in to them a package of life savers. The sophomore literary society, under the direction of Miss Slayton, entertained the students of C. H. S. when they presented “The Shooting of Dan McGrew” in assembly on Mar. 1. Vera Sanders with a cap pulled down over her eyes, and a great bushy' mustache which draped to her ankles, impersonated the “dangerous Dan McGrew” to perfection, while Mariana Smith vampishly played the role of tha “Woman that’s known as Lou.” Bernice Risley as the “rag-time kid” was striking up a tune on the player piano, when Dan pushed the kid off the piano stool and began to tickle the ivories on his own account. Lou shrieked out, “My golly, how that man can play!” whereupon Dan wheeled about and pulled a shotgun from his hip pocket and plugged her full of paper wads. It was the most exciting dramatic performance of the year. The Hi-Y club in honor of its new members gave a bean supper on April 1. Ten members, including the new ones, and Mr. Barnes, were present to consume the half ton of baked beans which had been perpared. The party resolved into a contest to see which individual could consume the most beans in a given time, eating them one at a time. Art Truelson strung four thousand of the delectable berries on a thread like a string of beads, suspended them over a pulley attached to the ceiling and let them drop into his upturned mouth one at a time at every tenth.second by his watch. Art, however, didn’t win the contest as his method was very ineffective compared with some of the others. It has been requested that the winner’s name be kept a secret. The High School Symp-phony Orchestra-ree gave a concert in the Clarks Corners Community Hall on Feb. 30th. They were assisted by the peerless dancer M. Dick Merrick and his partner, M. Charlie Maxon, the great woman impersonator, who gave a representation of the famous St. Vitus Dance. The program was executed as follows: “Selection of Tonsils” _______________________________________ From Adenoids “Oil by Myself” _______________________________________________by Rockerfeller A little ditty entitled “How a Garbage Collector’s Daughter made a Dump out of Me”____________________________________________________ .----sung by Johnny Hines “Prelude in Z Flat” ___________________________________________by Ivan Awfulitch “Moonshine £fonata” __________________________________________ by Home Brew “Don’t Pester Us”______________________________________________by Big and Little The Annual Debate was held on the high school athletic field, Dec. 30th, amid a flurry of snow and wind. The team was hailed to the field by a blast of trumpets. Their gleaming suits of armor showed to good advantage under the heat of the sun. The battle began. It waxed furious, each person being supplied with a slingshot and a goodly supply of wads of paper and gum so as to make their words more emphatic. The contest was so close that in order to proclaim the winning side, the wads of gum which had stuck to their armor were counted and it was found that the affirmative or Conneaut side had won. The scores were as follows: affirmative side, 991 9—negative side 99981 ,. The judges escaped with their lives and nothing more, the controversy being over the fact that one Geneva contestant swallowed part of his stick of gum, therefore losing the debate for his side. .

A Necromancer and assistant from India were engaged to entertain the assemblage. It was learned that the guests wished to dream themselves back in old Hollandland three hundred vears ago: The spell was cast by the necromancer and they were transfered to Holland in their dreams, where it was found Jacqueline, a dashing and flirtatious girl, who had worked her way into the Burgo-master Van Der Meer's home, was the daughter of the Pirate Thief and was planning with the Secretary to steal the town’s funds. The plot was revealed and the Pirate Band was banished to New York. The spell was removed and the guests awoke to find themselves once more at the house party and the later developments in romance were influenced by the dreams. The guest list contained: Jacqueline I.a Hue, Elizabeth Robertson; Mr. Da Rue. Douglas Lyons; Mrs. Schuyler, Irnm Myers; Elsie and Wilhelmina Van Der Meer. Norma Hammond and Ellen Clark: Peter.

SEATED: Blanche Humble, David Clark. Lucille Towne, Clarence Miller. The Class of 1925, directed by Mrs. R. E. Hundertmark, presented their Senior Play,“Adam and “Eva,” on Thursday and Friday evenings, May 28, and 29. James King, a rich man, disgusted with the extravagance of his family decides that, perhaps spending the summer on a farm in New Jersey will teach them to be less extravagant. The family, rather than do this, scheme with the doctor to persuade King that he isn’t well and send him away on a long trip. King discovers the plot and decides that he will go—but he will leave his business manager, Adam Smith, as father, in charge of his family, with a restricted bank account. The extravagances continue under Adam’s direction until he seizes the opportunity to exaggerate a fall in the rubber market, to indicate the ruin of the King rubber business. It is necessary that the family go to work. King’s daughters, Julie and Eva, and the maid Corinthia. with Adam’s assistance, run a Chicken and Bee Business on their father’s farm. Clinton DeWitt, Julie’s husband, becomes a clothing salesman, and Uncle Horace becomes an insurance agent. King returns and is stunned by the change of affairs, but Adam clears the matter up, and the affairs of Adam and Eva, who have fallen in love, are finally straightened out and all ends happily. The cast in order of their appearance: James King, a rich man, David Clark. Corinthia, his parlor maid, Helen King, Clinton De Witt, his son-in-law, Duane Herrick, Julie De Witt, his eldest daughter, Ellen Clark, Eva King, his youngest daughter, Lucille Towne, Aunt Abby Rocker, his sister-in-law, Blanche Humble, Dr. Jack Delama-ter, his neighbor, Lester Evans, Horace Pilgrim, his uncle, Clarence Miller, Adam Smith, his business manager, Albert O’Brien, Lord Andrew Gordon, his would-be-son in-law. Arthur Truelson. A group of Senior girls, directed by Miss Tilton, entertained between acts with a combined song and dance number—“When You and I Were Seventeen.” All musical numbers and the orchestra were under the direction of Miss Tilton. The financial managers were Mr. Hopper and Mr. Morris; the property managers, Mary Abbott and Irene Baker; the stage director, R. E. Hundertmark, and Francis Rood. 59 TIIE SENIOR TATTLER- SOCIETY JUNIOR-SENIOR MASQUE The social season for the underclassmen opened with the Senior-Junior masque, on November the eighth. The Seniors were very original in their choice of entertainment—a country fair, was their choice. Each masquerader received upon entering the building a colored balloon. They began the glorious round of the numerous booths which stood in the rotunda around Minerva. After a visit to these booths one might add greatly to one’s stock in trade. From the Japanese booth or the Good Luck Booth one could obtain numerous trinkets; from Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard, hot dogs, and ice cream from the ice-cream booth, and complete the repast with soft drinks from the soft drinks booth. One might also have his fortune told, his dreams dissected, a magic photo, or a fancy cup and could try his luck at fishing. Old C. H. S., somber C. H. S., was certainly a riot of colors; above the gay colored booths hung a lattice work of crepe paper streamers of Crimson and Grey— the Junior colors. At the invitation issued by Mr. Henry, every one journeyed to the gymnasium and danced gayly to music furnished by Shirk’s six piece orchestra from Cleveland. This affair represented considerable work and Miss Dinsmore, the Senior Class advisor, and the committees in charge, are to be congratulated on the satisfactory manner in which their program was carried out. CHAMPIONSHIP DANCE C. H. S. being pardonably elated over their victory decided to inaugarate a new social affair—a party for the whole school. So Conneaut-High-School-Football-Championship-Dance was held November the 15th. It is the first affair of its kind, and proud we are to have it be so successful. The music was furnished by volunteer orchestra from the school. The refreshments were of cider and doughnuts, as was fitting at that time of the year. Dancing lasted ’till a late hour—for a School night. But that is the spirit of celebration—and we had won! FOOTBALL BANQUET Since the winning of the Ashtabula County Football Championship was caused by the prowess of our team, it was fitting that it should be entertained. So on the evening of the fourth of November Miss Petite, assisted by most of the high school teachers, prepared and served a delicious banquet to the gallant warriors and fair maidens. Mr. Dickey as toastmaster gave his introductory speech, in which he effectually broke the ice as all good toastmasters should, then he introduced the first speaker, Cable T. Barnes, who spoke on the “Inflation of Many of Conneaut’s Citizens.” Mr. Hundertmark as the next speaker told how pleased he was that the championship was ours. Lauri Ritari, Captain of the Championship Team, spoke on “Loyality.” Mr. Harold Rock, Coach of the team, gave a description of a Lady-like game in 1940. Arthur Truelson, Fullback, followed this with a talk on the life at the training camp. Mr. Henry, the last speaker introduced by Mr. Dickey, read the list of letter men, and spoke highly of the men who did not receive letters. Mr. Dickey then turned over his official position to Ritari and the team elected Francis O’Conner Captain of Next year’s team, which it is sincerely hoped will be another Championship team. Thus ended the Football season of nineteen-hundred-and-twenty-five. GIRL’S BANQUET Our High School girls held a banquet in the rotunda of our institution of learning, on Thursday evening, February the 6th. The tables were decorated to represent the different months of the year and each girl took her place at the table of the month of her birthday. The delicious banquet fare was served by seven girls from the Junior High. Following this Ruth Whitehead as Toastmistress introduced the parts of “Our Memory Book.” The first, “School Mates,” was given by Irma Myers; “Our Seniors,” Olive Maukonen; a ukelele quartet sang several songs; Miss Kahler spoke on “Memories;” Kathryn L. King on “Stunts andi Jokes;” Lois Abbott and Margaret Hall presented a clever diologue to music—“Madam, will you walk?”; and Mrs. Slmonds spoke on the subject “Miscellaneous.” 1 wo one-act skits, “My Dear” and “The Fascinating Mr. Denbv,” concluded the program. The affair was sponsored by the Senior Girl’s Club and carried out with the assistance of Mrs. Hundertmark and Miss Petite, also Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Dickev and Mrs. Barnes. BOYS’ MIXER The boys of C. H. S. made merry at a Mixer held on Monday evening, Nov. 10. Each participant, upon entering the building left a shoe in Mr. Dickey’s office, then journeyed to the Gym window where they rode on the thrilling aerial railway. Beauty Contests and contests for big feet were held. The Juniors proved the greatest pugilists winning all the boxing matches. A talk was given by Mr. Charles Whitney. Refreshments were served from the Domestic Science Kitchen and soon after this the boys departed having thoroughly enjoyed a full evening. 60 THE SENIOR TATTLER BOOK nr 61 THE SENIOR TATTLER— THE DOPE BUCKET When giving credit for the success of C. H. S. in athletics we must not forget the cheer leaders. This year during the football and basket ball seasons the students were led in cheers by Rosie Phillips, Doug Lyons and Howard Price. There was an excellent school spirit shown at all times and without this Conneaut would not have been able to win the football championship. This is the first year that the cheer leaders have been awarded letters- They are the same as the football lettters except that they have a small megaphone on them. The outlook for athletics in C. II. S. next year is good. There will be eight letter men back in football and three in basketball. All of these boys will be larger next year and will also know more about Coach Rock’s system of football and basketball. Francis O’Connor, our plunging half back, is next year’s football captain- “Lard,” as he is called, is a hard worker and we wish him all kinds of success. “Webb” Mondy, our flashly forward is to lead the basket ball team. “Webb” is a fast man and with his leadership Conneaut is looking forward to a championship basket ball team. It is doubtful if Conneaut will be represented by a baseball nine next year, because at the last meeting of the S. A. A. A. C. it was voted to do away with awarding baseball banners. This will give the coach and his athletes more time to work on track. It is hoped by all the students of C. II. S. that we will have a fence around the athletic field before the next football season starts. With a fence, we would take in more paid admissions and therefore we would be able to buy more and better equipment for the players. If the fence is put around the field it will take in enough ground to provide a football field, baskball diamond, and a quarter-mile running track. With all these improvements, Conneaut should have one of the best athletic fields in this part of the state- Conneaut placed four men on the “All County” football team and one on the “All Counity” basketball team. These teams, which are picked by the six coachs of the county, are as follows: Football Kallio . . liar. L. II. Colliers Ash. L. E. Woodworth .... Conn. R, II. Abbey ... Ash. L- T.

The second team played a large part of this game. Nov. 17 was the day that the Championship was to be decided. There was a tie between Conneaut and Ashtabult for first place. Again Conneaut was outweighed, but the old C. II. S. fight won the game for us. It was in this game that “Tarzan” Woodworth showed the fans how to place kick.

LEMONADE SERVED FREE Vol. 66, PUBLISHED BY C. H. S.. FEBRUARY 42, 1925. No. 33 STUDENT PETITION REJECTED MOKE WORK ANI) LESS CREDIT A petition gotten up by the Senior Class and unanimously signed by all the students of Senior High School, asking that more work and less credit be introduced into the curriculum, was presented before the School Hoard and rejected. The seniors, forseeing that it was going to be too easy to graduate and sympathizing with this terrible situation among the underclassmen, took it upon themselves to draw up the following petition, to wit: “We, the undersigned, request that the requirements for graduation from C. H. S. be adjusted as follows: (1) That all science courses require 10 periods per week for 5 points credit instead of twice per week for 5 points credit. (2) That every student be required to give a one-hour speech -in assembly or class at least once a week. (3) That the passing grade in all courses be raised to 95% instead of 75%. (4) That all teachers make daily assignments ten times as long as is the present custom. (5) That each student be required to read 50 books outside of class each semester. (6) That all candidates for athletic teams be require to have a perfect grade every day in order to remain eligible. (7) That the school year be changed to twelve months with no DESIRED vacations except on Mr. Henry’s birthday. (8) That every student. male or female, who whispers in class or study hall be severely beaten with a lead pipe for each offense. (9) That all parties be eliminated, excepting one all-C. H. s. tea party t« which no one will be permitted to attend. (10) That the high school course be changed to 10 years (this will tame down the savants and give sufficient opportunity to the dutn-bells).’’ After the petition was presented to all the students of C. H. S. in their jespective class meetings and unanimously pigned. it was sanctioned by Principal Henry and submitted to Supt. Dickey, who presented it before the school board at a regular meeting. The School Hoard, however. broke the hearts of all the students when they voted down the petition. Everyone was so sad about it that barrels and barrels of tears were shed. The Tale Teller heartily sympathizes with all concerned in their bereavement for the loss of their most cherished ideal, and hopes that a similar petition be presented every year until public assent forces its passing. It is sincerely believed that this action has been a stumbling block not only to the present student generation but to all future generations. DERATE TEAMS WAGE BATTLE Moon is Made of Green Cheese The C. 11. S. debate teams consisting of Der-wfn Ely, Anton Watson and Bessie Petrie on the affirmative, and Evelyn Salisbury, Allen Cox and Claribel King on the negative, met in mortal combat with each other in the gymnasium on the 84th of April. The proposition was “Resolved, that the moon is made of green cheese. Miss Petit of the Domestic Science Department was the efficient coach. It was the most exciting contest ever witnes-ped in .� ur high school. Doth teams made special trips to the moon to secure tangible evidence to support their arguments. Boxing gloves. sabers, and brickbats were employed by both the affirmative and negative to convince each other (and the judges). The judges, however, being our intellectual faculty. were easily convinced that the moon is made of green cheese, so the affirmative team won. It is hoped that local interest in great questions like this will continue to be fostered in C. H. S. A FEW THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN THIS ISSUE By Arthur Di.Mdnin No one will doubt that C. H. S. is a great institution when he reads the advertisements on page 4 of this issue. A number of our graduates have secured chairs on the faculties of several notable institutions of higher learning. Don’t fail to read the advertisements for these new schools which are fast gaining a national repu-tation in the recovers of the lost arts. And may you be inspired to continue your schooling there when you say “so long’’ to C. H. S. where you got your start.

Kid Day The Senior annual Kid Day was hailed uproariously by students and teachers alike. The Seniors, entering the south door of the High School, instead of meeting a stern-faced principal and faculty, were greeted by gay “Good Mornings” and beaming countenances. The little ones were very good, to say the least, but one little boy forgot his manners. In so much as to come into the Study Hall with his bonnet on. The Kid Day” event taking place on Friday. the Senors were invited to assembly. where they sang in childish fashion, and one little girl was brave enough to suggest that the assembly sing Can a Little Child.

Tin-floor was not quite as springy as it might have been for one little man in trying to turn somersaults, discovered that jt didn’t spring under his nose very well, but that � 't did rise up and kick. His motto seemed to be If at first you don’t succeed, try. try again.” The faculty should indeed see the attempts to Radio Program The day before the High School was privileged to hear the Inau-garal Address by President Coolidge over the radio, the Study Hall was honored by a visit from a most beautiful member of Feline society. The guest having previously sper.t an enjoyable morning with Superintendent Dickey, feeling that the Study Hall would feel slighted without a call from this worthy personage. and being of a generous heart, she, nobly as a knight of old. gave up her afternoon, which was previously planned for a tea, to visit with her old friends. Entering at the north door and greeted by a rousing cheer, she was then led up and down the aisles by a fair member of the feminine sex. When the time came for her departure, tears of sorrow were seen on every one’s face, but each person wiped away their tears long enough to give a cheerful goodbye to this fair J member of the Feline society. A beautiful bouquet of onion tops was given to the cat, who made a most unexpected rpeech of acceptance. It seems that since this unusual display, the Study Hall has become a home for stray animals, for many have appeared, hoping to receive as nice a welcome as did that cat._______________ EXCHANGE Hot Dog Whizz Rang Confessions Secrets Police Gazette It is imposible to publish the names of the other papers received in exchange for The Tale Teller, because they can be secured only by secret arrangements with their publishers, their public sale on newsstands being prohibited by Act of Congress, 1876.

I do not believe that I have shown partiality to any team but have picked my men according to their complexions instead of tlndr prowess on the football field. They have all won the hearts of all young ladies in the county and therefore would succeed without any trouble. In Mook I have a quarterback who always uses his mouth when calling signals. He also has a good pair of lungs so he will not get tired calling signals. The rest of the backfield is of high caliber. In Puffer I have a back who can hit the line in any manner. Cuddeback and Pendleton have won many beauty contests so they must succeed in football. In Olah is a center who can do anything except pass the ball. That is the reason I have placed him at center. If I had a center that could pass the ball accurately, my backs would drop it. Therefore my backfield will never fumble. I think the line is very good. Not one man has tackled an opposing man this year so that will come in handy for the other team. They won’t have to worry. The three things that I have considered in picking my team are beauty, awkwardness and lung power. j SPOUT NOTES Heavos vs. Conundrums Forwards Slim Olah Bobbie Woodard Speed Hopper Addie Coffeeman Centers Cyclone Enry Harold Dormick?

The game started with a bang, Pendelton, the old reliable, received the tip off and the game was started. Pendelton passed to the famed Cyclone who tripped, gently but firmly, the whole length of the floor. Up toward his goal he began to meditate on the fall of the Homan Empire, and Addie Coffeeman. with his usual speed, slid toward him shouting lustily, “Foul Fiend-release that ball!’’ Cyclone, however, was insistent and he cried out, “I shall resort to rude antics of ancient Greek decision if you continue.’’ It was at this time that Speed Hopper, “Far Fetched Hopper, descended into their midst, grabbed the ball and dashed madly up the floor, oozed it into the basket as economically as possible. At many phases of the game Bobbie Woodard was seen to sweep up and down the floor like a caged lion. The last quarter started off in whirlwind fashion. Dormick. the old Stonewall on the defense, played one of his best games ever seen on the local court. Time out was taken by the Heavos. Bobbie Woodard feeling it necessary to get a breath of fresh air? A hush fell over the crowd as Cyclone Enry, the stellar star for the Heavos, was taken from the floor for swearing.

You can find him by addressing “The Cross Roads, Follyhood, California.” No, Inis not married, are you? Dear Miss Barefacts: I have read your very soothing advice to many other girls in distress, and so I thought I d ask you what you think of me. Glen has been coming to see me often.

Thank you for your compliments- Dear Miss Barefacts: I am a student in Conneaut High School, Conneaut, Ohio- I am in love with the boy who sits across from me in study hall. All year we have been writing affectionate notes to each other. The other day as 1 was just about to pass him a note in answer to one I received from him tin- teacher looked my way and I didn’t dare give him the note. Now lie thinks that I have thrown him over, that 1 refused to answer his note. What shall I do about it ? TRIXIE. It would be easier to solve your problem if I knew what he said in his note. However, I suggest that you go to your teacher and explain the whole situation. No doubt your teacher will remember when she (or he) was young and in high school, and will very generously give you permission to write all notes you wish in the future. 7-1 TIIE SENIOR TATTLER THE SALUTATORY BOOKS AND LIFE Citizens of Conneaut, friends, parents, and patrons of our school:—The teaching staff of our high school present to you this evening the graduating class of 1925, who step tonight from the life of school to the school of life. We, the members of this class numbering sixty-five are not unmindful of the honor you are bestowing upon us by your presence here this evening at this happy gathering and with humble and grateful hearts we welcome you. We feel that we have gained nothing from our high school experience of more value than familiarity with books which we have learned to recognize as the doors of life and so I have deemed it fitting to speak tonight of this intimate relationship between books and life. Books are the greatest power of man. Not until man learned to prepetuate his thoughts in books did he attain any results in his striving to contribute to the progress of mankind toward some ultimate goal. Not until he learned to store up for future generations the thought and experiment of the ages did he expand and enlarge his sphere of life. If all the lawyers, doctors, chemists, teachers and artists should die today, and their works should perish with them, man could very quickly learn from books the secrets of their arts and could reconstruct the lost monuments. Some one has said that books serve either as ornaments, tools or friends. To many of us they are ornaments only, reposing elegantly in mahogany bookcases, gathering the dust of isolation and solitude. What a ship of thought, instruction, wealth and diversion we are refusing ourselves passage on—a ship that sails the ocean of adventure, courses through the tragic seas of life, and is guided by master pilots who lead us into foreign ports where every sight is a new joy! “There is no frigate like a book to take us miles away, nor any courses like a page of prancing poetry. This traverse may the poorest take without oppress of toll; how frugal is the chariot that bears a human soul!” Books as tools are indispensable in this age of specialization. In business and professional fields we have learned that we must be well equipped or we lose out in the race of life, and to be well equipped is to learn and acquire knowledge from greater men and authorities. How many times has the lack of knowledge of a certain point changed men’s careers! Books as friends are ideal. They are our soothing and cheering companions in solitude, illness, and joy. By our choosing they can convey counsel, instruction, and refreshing relaxation. Remarkable are such friends who speak only when we want to listen and keep silent when we want silence. As in the choosing of companions, so in the choosing of books we must be cautious. Henry Fielding said ”We are as liable to be corrupted by books as by companions.” We would hesitate to associate with uneducated brutes or with murderers, yet we read glamorous love stories or shadowy tales of adventure written only for money and to satisfy the shifting tastes of the day. These do not inculcate noble ideas of right and wrong and do not leave us with fresh inspiration or new vistas of beauty. Good books only are worth our perusal—books that stand and have stood the test of time. All of u’s could profit by Bacon’s words: “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.” The test of a good book is whether we want to read it once or more than once. It should assume greater proportions every time it is perused. Carlyle has truly said, “No book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.” That is why the works of Shakespears, Dante, Goethe, and Homer will always endure the critical test of inspection from every age. But how superficial it is when a book does not interest us at first, to throw it aside after lightly scanning it, captioning it as “not exciting” or something of the sort, when it has taken the lifetime, experience, and toil of a great man to produce that book. A personal enrichment is the greatest service good reading renders. This persona! enrichment marks that indefinable charm called culture which is the quality and not the quantity of knowledge and inspiration absorbed. He who is cultured is he who has contact with the best minds of the years and this contact can be experienced by rich and poor, old and young alike, in books. The master spirits of mankind who have uplifted the world or oppressed it have known the power of books. Tyrants have feared books, and kings have forbidden the printing of them, but they could not be repressed for they are the image of life itself, they are the essence and potency of the human race. Books cannot take the place of life, they cannot give us the same thing as experience, but they can widen and enlarge our life, they can classify and enrich our experience, make us tolerant and forgiving, simple in conduct, truthful in word, conscientious in act, and noble in deed, with a penetration and insight into that great mystery called life. MARY LEFT. —THE SEX 10R TATTLER THE VALEDICTORY SAILING The history of the civilization of man shows that man's development lias been due largely to his conquest of the forces of nature. Nature nowhere has faced man more sternly than at the sea. To primitive man, before navigation had been developed, the sea represented a great, terrible, mysterious unknown, beyond which the world came to naught. After a few great souls like Christopher Columbus and Ferdinando .Magellan made their daring conquests of the sea, the world expanded from a small realm surrounding the Mediterranean, into a great realm embracing the circumference of the globe. Columbus had sailed on, with danger of mutiny and shipwreck, but “Pale and worn he kept his deck, And peered through darkness. Ah, that night Of all dark nights! And then a speck— A light! A light! It grew, a starlit flag unfurled! It grew to be time’s burst of dawn, lie gained a world; he gave that world Its grandest lesson, “On, Sail on!” And today, in this great age of science, the sea, afloat with men-of-war, merchant-men, or pleasure craft, holds the life of man in all its aspects. The sea is the path ol! trade; it is the road of adventure. It is because of man’s long-time relationship with the sea—the sea which in calm or storm has witnessed his advancement—that I have thought it fitting to choose for tonight the subject of sailing- From times immemorial, life has been referred to by poets as the sea of life. IIow apt is this comparison! Does not life have its ebbs, its tides, its calms, its eddies, and its storms? Fellow students of Conneaut High School, it is in this respect that I have thought of our four years within these halls as similar to a cruise upon a sea; the sea of training. Our boat stands at rest tonight, at the bending of the stream, and we are pausing for a short time to draw in our breath for the work ahead. Before man’s laborious wisdom gave birth to the ore, it had not seen the light of day. Down in the central darkness of the earth it lay, crushed by the weight of heat, not knowing then the air, the light, the noise, and the world of men. The trees, which form such an essential part of every steamer, knew no men—their life was to stand staunch with grandeur, strength and grace. The hemp and flax were a million grasses on the hill; a million herbs which bowed as the wind blew, trembling in every fiber, never still. Out of the rock, the tree, the springing herb, workmen built the wandering beauty that marches across great waters like a queen, laughing at all disasters, uniting the people of the world. Thus, out of raw materials even man is made. The shipyard in which man is built is the school. It is education that produces knowledge, insight, discipline, and character- Education has developed our instincts for discovering in every person, relation, event and experience something of permanent value as a means of enrichment. And this process should go on until the great stream of life, as it sweeps past and eddies about our minds, becomes a river bringing its wealth from, a thousand sources and draining a world-wide experience, for the enlargement of each open mind. Life is put in the hands of every one of us but the number who discern its highest and finest possibilities, who get out of it the richest growth, and who put into it the noblest personal energy are few. Mastery comes only after obedience, service and knowledge; and greatness always waits upon life. To know the world and ourselves is the main task of every one of us in life. All that man is and has done has depended largely upon his relationship with the sublime power which kindled the stars above the cradle of his infancy, and now, in his maturity, makes him master of the forces which are lifting him above drugery. It is a great triumph for a person to say, “1 am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.” The voyage of life is through many deep and unknown channels, with 76 THE SENIOR TATTLER many windings and turnings that often make it hard for us to tell just what we have passed by, and what we are yet to meet. It seems a long course to follow, and as we rest upon our oars and look back, how very short a distance we seem to have covered after all 1 It is pleasant to pause here at the bending of the stream, and consider the calmness of the wave-ripples through which we have so easily been rowing; but we cannot linger long, for already life’s larger waters are calling us, and we know that we must row ahead out of the peaceful, shallow current of our young life, where we have been able to drift through so much of our passage, and pull hard against the stream of active life. I’p to the present time, we have been guarded and sheltered and warned against the rocks and shoals so sure to be met with in the broader channels of our onward course. We have be.en gathering strength for the launching-We appreciate the kindnesses bestowed upon us before we, tonight, sail onward, to the sea of larger life. As we, the Senior class, say farewell to these waiters, it is truly with the knowledge that our training thus far has been merely to make us capable sailors, ready to navigate that greater sea of open opportunities upon whose shores we now stand. We linger at the end of our course; we have paddled together through the school-waves now behind us, but each must row forth, alone, into the life to come. Let us, as the billows of life force us apart, keep our blue and white, with all that they signify to each one of us, ever flying at the mast-head. HILMA M. KOLEHMAINEN. 77 THE SEN‘ OH TATTLER ALUMNI Every year there are a large number of new members added to the Alumni of C. H. S. To be a member of the Alumni has more than one meaning. It means that you not only have gone through four years of High School training, but that you have made a success of your work while attending this school. There are many, people, who after graduating, act as though there was not or never had been, a High '.School in this city. An Alumnus should be as true to the school, after graduation, as when he or she was a student in it. It is a great help to a school to know that a large number of people who do not go to school, are interested in it and want to help in every way they can. C. H. S. has had a great deal of support from the town and certainly appreciates it, but in some respects there could be a great deal more interest shown. The Alumni are valuable, not only for backing, but they enable the members of a class to get together once in a while and talk over their good times in school. Anyone should be proud of the fact that he is a member of the Alumni body either of a High School or a College. The Class of 1925 is looking forward to becoming active members of the C. H. S. Alumni. It is hoped that the enthusiasm and loyalty which they have always shown during their four years in High School will be transferred to the Alumni. Following is an incomplete list of our Alumni: Lucille Brace, ’24, 503 Washington Street, is employed at the W. E. Kearney Shoe Store. Maxine Morgan, ’24, 519 Liberty Street, spent this year at home studying piano and violin. Bernice Quinn, ’24, 232 Rockwell Street, is employed in' the Citizens Banking and Trust Company. Helen Armstrong, ’24, 115 Marshall Street, is in training as a nurse at Mt. Sinai Hospital, Cleveland. Lydia Prahl, ’23, 419 Harbor Street, is training for a nurse1 at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Elizabeth Cossitt, ’23, 229 Sandusky Street, is a sophomore at University of Michigan this year. Bernice Humble, ’22, 229 Mill Street, is taking a Physical Education Course at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. Robert Brydle, ’21, Main Street, attended Ohio State this year.

She's always ready for an argument with any teacher. Norma deserves a great deal of credit for her good work in the Operetta. If this parade wasn’t on foot, we’d expect to see Pearl Dunnington rambling along in his little Ford. He says it belongs to him, but we see it parked on Mill Street more often than on Buffalo Street. Pearl is one of our Commencement Speakers. Lester Evans, Merwyn Lininger, Bussell Fancher and Stanley Laird are more often seen than heard. Do you like blondes? Oh, yes. we all do. We like Francys Paulson, anyway, and you couldn’t call her a brunette. Here is Carlton Gee, our negro impersonator. When we see Lillian McGuire and Kozelia Linfoot, we always think of, Meek little maidens with eyes of brown.” Clarence Miller is a pirate brave and bold. He did very well in the Operetta. Don’t blush, now. Clarence. We know you can. A parade wouldn’t be complete without its clowns. So here comes ours, Arthur Goulding and Robert Andrews. We are never so blue that they can’t cheer us up. Yet, they were both serious enough to win football letters. Bob always takes advantage of the coasting on Center Street. Art goes in for cheerleading as a side issue. Another disloyal member of our class is Arthur Truelson, only he prefers the Junior class. Art speaks French with ease as English. At least he should, considering the lengthy conversations he holds with the French teacher. He’s another athletic star. Our class seems full of them. Take Laurie Ritari for instance. He graduated at mid-year. Conneaut High School will never forget Rit. Rozina Phillips is athletic Editor for the Senior Tattler. No one knows more about girls’ athletics than Rosie. Judging by the good game they play, the might think Rosie, Lily Punkar and Alma Ahlberg had played basketball all their lives. Lucille Towne’s interests lie in the dramatic field. We’re proud of her work and hope that she goes on with it. We would like to predict the career of a second Elenora Duse for her after her work in the Senior play. Derwin Ely can always bo depended upon to help in any emergency. We wish Irma Myers would do something for us to find fault with. Maybe her angelic look is only to mislead the teachers. Ruth Whitehead is president of the Senior Girl’s Club, a new organization this year. She was toast-mistress at their banquet and its success was due largely to her efforts. The butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker. Oh. no. just two Bakers. Irene and Isabelle. Don’t worry, girls, some noted man, I don’t know whether it was Adam or Shakespeare who said. What's in a name?” So probably neither of you can bake. But can Irene draw? Why. she’s art Editor for the Senior Annual. Anyone with Isabelle’s brains should try for every scholarship offered. We have another brother and sister in our parade, Margaret and Ralph Downer. There’s not a spot on their careers. At least we’ve never seen their faces in the office. Here is Arloeine Dean. When she isn’t studying we see her gazing out of the window with a far away look in her eyes. We’d give more than a penny for your thots, Arlie. We’ve missed Hazel Hibler this last semester. She graduated at midyear and I believe she has forgotten us already. All her attention is centered on a Ford coupe, just at present. That’s all of our parade. Oh no. it’s not. Here is someone elese—Naomi Grumbling. You’re such a tiny thing. Naomi. It’s no wonder we lose you, but the Senior class wouldn’t be complete without you. Well folks, that ends our parade. No. we’re sorry but we haven’t time to go over it again. You see we have the whole path of Life before us and we want to get started without any delay. Sure the class of '24 was a good class so will the class of 26 be a good class. Every class that goes out of Conneaut High School Is a good class. Come on now. everybody, three cheers for the best class.—the class of 1925. CLASS HISTORIAN— KATHRYN I,. KING 7!) THE SENIOR TATTLER (continued from page 30) The Senior Class Prophecy special feature of the afternoon was a parachute leap. The man had just reached the ground when we arrived. He looked around with such bewilderment that it did not take long to recognize t arleton Gee, for he looked the same way, when fifteen years before Miss Geyer had asked him. hy MacBeth used a dagger instead of a hair pin to stab Banquo. Gee told us that Mary Abbott had started out at the same time but that she must be light for she had not arrived yet. He thought perhaps her shoes fell off. We passed into the main tent where the program was just starting. The Siamese twins, chosen for the uniformity of size, were represented by Fayetta Halfner and Kozina Phillips. A large space in the arena was given over to Frances Paulson, who was holding down the position of fat lady. She had a specially constructed Ford which with the front seat entirely removed Frances could barely squeeze between the rear seat and the steering wheel. On a gayly painted cage in a permenant place one would see the wisest owl in captivity. Most of the people believed it to be genuine but 1 was not so easily deceived. I would recognize those intellectual ears anywhere as those of Hilma Kolemainen. The lion tamers were especially suited to their duties. They had to rule these terrible jungle kings by superior strength instead of superior intelligence. The fierce disposition of these lion tamers indentified them as Hazel Hibler and Derwin Ely. Three clowns were frolicking about with a baby carriage. One we recognized as Florence Tinney was pushing the baby buggy in entirely too reckless a manner for those Infant minds within. As Florence made a tail spin with the buggy I recognized the occupants as Pearl Dunnington and Impi Herpi. An awkward squad composed of Elizabeth Robertson gave a representative performance. She was accompanied by the full brass band. Duane Herrick. Lester Evans was a perfect white-haired, pinkeyed albino, until in some accidental manner he worked up a sweat and the color began to run from his hair. Charlotte Gilbraith then gave a life-like imitation of William Taylor on the trombone. She was stopped in the third lap for it was feared she would burst a blood vessel. Arthur Truelson is still athletically inclined and is perfectly content with his job as tight wire walker. He had acquired his sure-footedness in High School by trying to keep those confounded stairs from creaking when making an exit in the third period. Over in a farther corner we could see the strong man of the circus. He was giving an exhibition which showed his great physical development. The crowd gazed awe-struck when Taylor, the muscular giant, deliberately bit through three sticks of gum. We almost missed seeing the living skeleton for she was standing back of a tent rope and we had to knock twice before we could discern her. It was with a pang of remorse that we perceived her to be our former frivolous, corpulent school mate, Alice Marsh. On our way out of the circus grounds we lingered to watch the elephants and were quite astonished at the disgraceful conduct of two of our High School classmates. Whenever some benevolent bystander would toss peanuts to the pachyderms these former classmates of ours would snatch them be- fore the elephants could get them. Such a grasping habit as this, we knew could belong only to Mary Leet and Clarence Miller. Once more we were on the sidewalks of New York where we could breathe. The streets were almost deserted for it seems that even little Old New York must stop and rest at times. Alex invited me to stay over night at his house. I readily accepted for it was over an hour before the next plane left on the Atlantic-Great Lake Air Line and this was piloted by Helen King. Me started out to walk to Alex’s mansion, well content with our afternoon’s entertainment. I thought it unusual that so many of our class-mates should show talent in such a unique place as a circus. Alex then quoted Miss Dinsmore’s belief, that when a person thinks and practices ludicrous antics for four successive years It could not help but have a great Influence on their lifework. I could not help but think that Miss Dinsmore must be somewhat wrong for if she were entirely right the entire class of 25 would have important parts in a three-ring circus. Our pleasant walk homeward was interrupted by some unrelenting humans who were giving vent to some of their stored up musical energies. Attracted by the clamor, there were a few people standing nearby looking skyward. Arriving at the scene of the disturbance, Alex and I saw Norma Hammond doing the Human fly act while below Rozelia Lin foot and Tynne Forsty were singing “Old Conneaut to encourage Norma In her high calling. Continuing our walk we were soon comfortably seated in Alex’s luxurious home. We then tuned in station B. U. Z. Z. on the radio and sat back to listen to the latest developments both at home and abroad. It is a wonderful station and broadcasts the best static of any in the country. We learned later that it was produced by the combined musical efforts of Edna McMahon. Ruth Ring and Verna Gillespie. After a few minutes we heard a deep gruff voice, which we easily recognized as that of Mary Focht, announcing that the steamer M. T. Bunkers,” with Capt. Huston in charge, was foundering 30 miles off the cost of Nevada. Alex and I were surprised at this news for we considered Miss Huston a very proficient sailor since she had taken a college course on salesmanship. Then it was announced of the government’s recent appointment of Ruth Whitehead and Jennie Sarrela as examiners of all French immigrants on account of their great fluency of this language. The next number on the program was a lecture on Egyptology by Kathryn King. Kathyrn gave a very interesting talk on the recent excavations in King Tut’s tomb and told of the valuable articles that have been recently unearthed; among them a piece of Hundertmark’s brown suit and the record of Dave Clark’s first five years in Conneaut High School. After sending Kathryn an applause telegram we retired to dream of those glorious school days when responsibilities were light and cares unknown. 80 THE SENIOR TATTLER (continued from page 32) CLASS WILL I, Norma Hammond, bequeath my power in bluffing the faculty to Rachel Rajala.

Smith, as he signed himself, was a person with an inferiority complex. In other words, Marcus Quintus Smith was as shy and retiring in his disposition as his name was glaring and unretiring in its way. But, all names to the contrary, it has to be admitted that Marcus Quintus was a very, very bashful person. Having made this painful admission, I am now compelled to defend poor Marcus against a jeering universe, by pointing out that bashfulness is not the fault of the bashfulee—the person who is bashful, 1 think that means. Usually the shy person can not help his shyness—he is born that way. The fact remains, however, that Marcus Q. Smith was very, very, very bashful. Christened by a hard-working father, who was continually worrying about the bills which never failed to need paying, but who, nevertheless had one passion in his toil-crowded life—his study of Homan History—Marcus Quintus early grew to hate the name he bore, because it was so—well, so conspicuous. Indeed Marcus hated anything which attracted attention to himself. But cutting his name to Mark Q. did little towards ridding him of his shyness. In the eyes of Mark Smith, girls had been regarded as monsters—something to be avoided, in fact. Mark had even regarded girls as nuisances,—until one day during his Sophomore year in High School, when he had met a certain young lady. And then, in spite of his terrific shyness. Marcus gathered courage to take this young lady ‘•out several times. Quite remarkable, indeed—but perfectly. and very natural, when one stops to think. But Marcus’ bashfulness prevented his being thoroughly at ease while in the young lady's presence. And. really to enjoy one’s self, one must be at ease. Many methods Marcus tried in a vain attempt to rid himself of his bashfulness. He tried forgetting himself—but never succeeded; he tried auto- suggestion, suggesting to himself that he could conquer the world; that he was a better man than Alexander; that his bashfulness was gone. It was not, however; it remained always with him. But Marcus refused to give up. Always he tried to conquer his bashfulness, and always he failed. Always he failed—until one day he found an advertisement for a correspondence course on the development of personality, overcoming bashfulness, and generally improving one’s personal assets; all this for two dollars and ninety-eight cents, plus a few cents postage. “Send no money—pay Postman on delivery.’ This Marcus determined to send for. It came; and Marcus set to work. Carefully reading the directions, he daily performed the outlined work. Conscientiously he waded through each minute detail. Hour after hour he stood before a mirror going through the prescribed exercises; night after night he put himself to sleep by repeating to himself the various magic phrases destined to banish bashfulness. Slowly he felt a confidence growing within himself, until finally he came to believe that he had succeeded in doing what he had long been trying to do. To one who has not been cursed with bashfulness, the agonies endured by a shy person are unknown. No agonies are so intense or so uncontrollable—as any shy person knows. Consequently, when one who was shy overcomes his shyness, he is transported to the proverbial seventh heaven. And Marcus, thus transported, walked thru the world on rosy clouds for one long week. One long heavenly week Marcus succeeded in maintaining a “man-of-the-world’’ ease. Seven days of unalloyed bliss passed over the head of the unsuspecting Marcus before his last struggle with the demon of bashfulness. Marcus’ father was of the peculiar genus of the Human Race known scientifically as Suburban-ites,’’ and he belonged to a division of this genus termed by learned men as “Commuters.’’ That is. each morning at 7:57 by his trusty timepiece he made a heroic dash for the 8:03 train into the city where he was employed. The position he held in this city is of no great moment to us. but to satisfy the curious I might add that he performed the tasks of Head Bookkeeper in the offices of Punk, Punker, Punkest—Dealers in Domestic and Imported Foodstuffs. In these offices, Mr. Smith earned the wherewithal with which to purchase his daily bread—for. although man may not live by bread alone, take away his bread and soon you will take away the man. he will starve to death. As I said before, Mr. Smith was constantly worrying about upaid bills. This should be enough to inform the reader that money, the root of all evil, was not so plentiful as it might be, in the House of Smith. Is it now necessary for me further to inform the reader that, as a direct result of this shortage In the paternal pocketbook, the pocketbook of Marcus was also in a somewhat flattened condition the greater part of the time? Marcus worked when he needed money, but he spent all the money he earned—as is the case with the majority of the human race. And because of this, Marcus found himself in a predicament as the eighth day dawned. Yes. Marcus was in quite a hole: a hole, out of which he feared he might not be able to climb. To elucidate: A circus was coming—nay, had come to town. Marcus desired to attend this circus—but not alone. He had secured Margaret’s—his young lady’s—promise to attend this circus with him. At the time of securing her promises, Marcus had been flush—which means that,” his pocketbook had been well lined with “long green.’ ’’ At least he had enough to buy his ticket to the show, and to buy some ice cream. But in an evil moment. temptation had come upon Marcus, and he had. like the rest of us. spent his little fortune, thinking to procure more before the day of the date. This he had failed to do. through some combination of circumstances. Mr. Green, who owed him some money for services rendered, was reported out of town when Marcus called for payment. (continued on page 84) 82 SENIOR TATTLER- To The Merchants of Conneaut and all Faithful Supporters of The Tattler We Contribute The Following Department TIIE SENIOR TATTLER (continued from page 82) MARCUS CONQUERS HIMSELF All of Marcus’ friends were either dead broke, or wore hoarding their money for the circus; and, as a last resort, Marcus called upon his father, but here also he failed, and prospects seemed darker than ever. As the time at which he was to call for the young; lady drew nearer and nearer, Marcus felt his courage—felt his confidence—yea. felt his very universe—beginning to slip. What Margaret would think of him for breaking his date, he could not imagine—probably she would have nothing to do with him in the future. At this thought, he determined to make one last valiant effort to save the day. He would phone her and beg off. saying he was sick. And he could hardly be prevaricating, for at the moment, Marcus was about as sick as he could well be and still remain out of bed. But he could not telephone from the house; his father could not afford a phone. The nearest drug-store was a five minute’s walk distant. This store as his objective, Marcus set out. Now this drug-store stood on a corner. In order to enter it, Marcus had to round the corner, take about ten steps, and there was the door. Also, before he rounded the corner, there was a door, too, but it did not open into the drug store. It gave into the local lodge, dance hall, and general utility hall. Walking slowly, Marcus came to the corner. Pondering and thinking deeply, that is on his excuse, he halted a moment before he rounded this corner. What Fates, good luck, a providence made him hesitate, no one knows, but he hesitated a moment, looked up, and nearly ’•Hopped.” Through the large plate glass window of the drug store he saw Margaret walking steadily toward the corner on which he stood! Quickly turning around, he darted back along the way he had come. Back along the way he had come, he sped, seeking some place of escape. But no such place opened its welcome arms to him. Only the blank, brick wall on one side, the wide, open street on the other. He would surely be seen! As Marcus ran. every drop of self-confidence oozed from him. Had he faced it out—stood his ground—he might have saved the day. But by running, he lost all the “nerve” he had so painfully after months of hard work. Poor Marcus! But can he be blamed? So Marcus sped down the street, seeking a place of escape. Remember the door 1 mentioned? Just as Marcus drew opposite this door, it swung open. Without stopping to think Marcus hurled himself into the yawning cavern thus offered—straight into something soft—and path he and this soft something landed on the floor. The soft something—it was a fat man—the fat man; was uttering grunts of pain and rage. The door, however, crashed shut—and Marcus was saved! For the moment, at least. As he struggled to restore himself to his feet, two arms gripped him threatening,, and an angry, voice demanded. “What d’you mean by knocking me down?” “W hy, er r-r,’’ responded Marcus, “Y’see, Sir, I was in a hurry.” “Yeah?” queried his captor, “you must have been.” Why, Mr. Green!” Burst out Marcus, “I just called for the money you owe me. “Well, of all the nerve. Here it is.” And Mr. Green counted out three dollars and handed it to Marcus. Marcus, with a mighty wave of jublliant thanksgiving surging over him, grabbed the money, was thru the door almost before it was open. Up the street after Margaret he rushed, caught up with her, and eargeriy claimed the privilege of taking her to the show. “Oh, Marcus. I’m so sorry” she said, “But I was just on my way to tell you that I could not go to the show. Mother is going away, and I have to go with her.” Gasping, poor Marcus stood bewildered. He managed to express his deep sorrow that the lady could not accompany him, then as she hurried back homeward, he stood in the middle of the sidewalk, the honey of his victory slowly turning to sourness in his mouth. He fingered the money in his pocket______it was like so much ashes now. Then he walked homeward, bitterly reflecting on the hardness of fate. But as he walked, he realized that never again would he be bashful. After two such encounters, encounters in which he had acted without being at all self-conscious, he knew that he had certainly conquered his bashfulness.

And now, as the book goes to press, we want to express our gratitude to those, who by their advice and efforts have contributed something to its make-up. Whatever degree of success this volume has deserved is du3 directly to their efforts. We feel safe in asserting that no Senior Tattler editor and managers ever received more faithful service from their staff, than that ours has given us. And to Mr. Gnagey, our faculty advisor, whose careful guidance never lacked, we give a great deal of the credit. Nearly every design and drawing in this book has come from the pen of some C. H. S. student. For four drawings we owe our thanks to -John Cherry, ex-C. H. S. student. Mr. L. A. Payn did most of the photography. He was always willing to give us service when and where we wanted it. The Canton Engraving and Electrotype Co., of Canton, Ohio, did all the engraving by contract and spared no efforts to aid and advise us in the work on our book. In some instances, we had to draw upon other members of the class and of other classes. We express our appreciation for the assistance rendered by Paul Dripan, Alien Cox, Glenn Reffner and Robert Robison of the sophomore class, and to Rachael Rajala, Alex Pauli and Helen Sibbald of the Junior class. The printing was done by the Conneaut Printing Co., and we owe our thanks to Mr. Risley for the time and effort he gave to make the printing the best possible. When one comes to the end of a good day’s work, there comes to him a reward, in the satisfaction of having given the task his best efforts. So it is with us; we remember the tedious hours spent at this work with something of a spirit of gratification, for it represents the best our class c n offer. We hope that the result of our labors will prove to be a strong link in the chain that binds the students, alumni and friends of C. H. S. in a common spirit. We have made it our aim to include those things which will be most pleasantly recalled in the days when high school memories are golden memories. “For old Conneaut, to you your sons are ever loyal! Old Conneaut, your name will ever cherished be! Old Conneaut, we’ll give a cheer for that royal Alma Mater, held most dear, Old Conneaut!” The Editors The Managers 9S —THE SENIOR TATTLER- AUTOGRAPHS 99 •THE SENIOR TATTLER— A UTOGRAPHS • i .
