THE SENIOR TATTLER CLASS HISTORY “MINERVA’S VIEWPOINT” Eugenia Page, ’26 As an interested though silent spectator, I, Minerva, have stood in the lower corridor of Conneaut High School and havei observed the activities of many classes, but I can truthfully state that no class has so interested me as has the graduating class of 1926. Under my all-pervading glance, many events have happened which have made my heart rejoice. For the class of 1926 has excelled in sports, dramatics, culture, music and art. At first, my scornful look saw “Faltering Freshmen,” but these soon developed into “Sophisticated Sophomores.” From this stage, it was not very long before these people became “Jolly Juniors” but soon changed to the most important of all—that of being “Self-Sufficient Seniors.” And in this marvelous state of toeing I will see them depart—but perhaps I will see them in later years, as sadder and wiser persons. But as I have spoken briefly concerning their achievements, I will now relate a few facts about the notables themselves. Lois Cossitt, the Editor-in-Chief of the Tattler, is also the class valedictorian. I have watched her career and am well pleased with the result. Also that of Dorothy Wheeler, the class salutatorian and Senior Girls’ Club president. With the name of Lois Cossitt I should have coupled that of Geraldine Jones, she being a most brilliant and artistic partner of Lois’. I have also observed with interest William Kehoe, prominent in sports and dramatics. His chum, Alex Pauli, has distinguished himself in athletics and the study of the French language. Douglass Lyons leaves nothing to be desired as a hero and a singer as far as dramatics is concerned. John Wellman plays the drums in the orchestra and his pastime is considered arguing, as he is a fine debator, also an actor. I have watched the antics of the two class “clowns,” Richard Merrick and Charles Maxon. Richard is a capable actor and Charles is featured as saxaphone player in a prominent local dance band. Speaking of quietness, Eleanor Rood and Elvi Kahkonen, are noted for their bewitching silences. Alice Cole and Martha Ylisaari are two girls who are seen but not heard, except at intervals. Eleanor Pendleton. Anna Maseik and Mary Chapin speak the French Language fluently, and are cheerful and loyal boosters for Conneaut Hight School. William James and Howard Walters are the inseparable, both in scholarship and companionship. Both are “charming” Englishmen with their derbies and monocles poised to perfection. Edward Reeves, Reid Eddy and Edmand Huston are all celebrated as learned “physicists,” otherwise they are normal in every respect. Arvine McElroy has posed for many collar-advertisements and as such makes the perfect president of this class. Howard Blackman and Sherman Kennedy are the original hardworkers, especially in the mastering of the Spanish language, i will say nothing more about them in order not to cast suspicion and ruin their characters. Dorothy Clark, Thelma Holt and Charlotte Baker are a few of our representatives from Amboy. Thelma has an almost uncanny preception of Latin poetry, while Dorothy exercises sound judgment in the use of French idioms. Margaret Hall and Lois Abbott are known as wonderful singers and excellent players of the piano. Nydia Strong, Vivian Kroterfield and Pauline Esterhay are in a class by themselves, being “intellectual lights.” Pauline had a share in winning the annual debate while Vivian and Nydia specialize in culture of the most important of the Romance languages. Floyd Struble, Vernon Harley and Otis Fuller, are all well versed in the intricacies of manipulating the steering wheel of that car of all cars, the Ford. “Always ready, always willing” seems to be their motto. Gordon Fassett and Charles Hogle are believers in all well-known adages and benefit daily by their use of -them. Gaylord is the competent class lawyer and Roland the class secretary. Kenneth Rickard has great enthusiasm when it comes to selling tickets or driving a Ford. Athena Treas is the efficient business manager of the Tattler and Pearl Ku-beck and Edythe Gruber help to comprise the Tattler Staff and are noted for their dramatic ability. Bessie Petrie, Dorothy Brand and Helen Sibbald symbolize the satisfactory specimens of Senior Girls, Bessie and Helen being famous as to their newspaper reports in their club. Dorothy is a new girl, having been with this class during her Senior year. Ray Miller and Stanley Peters are good examples of what a Senior man should be. Ray is a singer, athlete, and actor of whom the class is most proud. Stanley returned from Florida just so he could finish his high school career with his old friends. James Mohan has an irreproachable reputation as to scholarship and is renouned for his wise and witty sayings. Edith Rubenstein, Helia Kananen and Gertrude Rubenstein are always seen carrying large books and ledgers pertaining to their business-like business course. Mary Dingman and Margaret Ring delight in higher learning for women, although they are sometimes appalled by the problems in Physics. Mary Mowry and Claribel King are (Continued on page 79) 24
