•THE SENIOR TATTLER SENIOR CLASS HISTORY THE PARADE” Oh boy, look what is coming—a parade! Come on, everybody. We can’t miss this. They've got a band 'n everything. 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
