THE SENIOR TATTLER ADMINISTRATION 10 THE SENIOR TATTLER MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD C. A. Risley, President Louise E. Kahler Charles A. Ott O. L. Brewster Carl B. Millard SUPERINTENDENT OF CITY SCHOOLS C. M. Dickey PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL V. R. Henry THE SENIOR TATTLER In order that pupils may receive the most out of life and give the best service, they must do their work well, learn lessons thoroughly, deal with others honestly, treat competitors fairly, accept defeat gracefully, and conduct themselves politely. —C. M. Dickey MR. C. M. DICKEY Many large high schools have discontinued the publishing of an annual owing to the heavy expense imposed upon the student body. The effort formerly placed on these publications has expressed itself in a better weekly or other periodic school papers with much benefit to a great number of students. It is only natural that any school publishing an annual desires it to rank with the best. This especially increases the cost in the small high schools. If the annual is to continue, it can only do so with the financial support of the entire student body of the high school. —V. R. Henry. MR. V. R. HENRY 12 THE SENIOR TATTLER FACULTY 1. MR. CABLE T.

But we’re not through, there’s much to do. We finish to begin. We finish to begin means this, Our goal’s not yet in sight. To gain success and happiness We must keep up the fight. —Thomas Goldsmith. CLASS COLORS Crimson and Slate THE SENIOR TATTLER CLASSES Class Poem “FAREWELL” When the wild geese go a-llying To their home of ice and snow, Then our high school days are dying, And it’s time for us to go. As the sun is slowly sinking. Thus our high school days will fade; Then we do our saddest thinking, Did we make the highest grade? Now the study and the dreaming Of our childhood days are o’er; Our real work is just beginning, We will play at school no more. We are sorry that we’re leaving, And ’twould be the same with you, Though outward we’re not grieving, Still our hearts are ever blue. Schoolmates we do not leave to you Our honor and our fame— Just do well whate’er you do. And you’ll win as good a name. For our friendships all must sever And part as the dying day; So we leave high school forever. Each to follow his own way. —Frances Johnson.

I he I attler affords a means of expression to those members of the school inclined along journalistic lines. Critics have commented favorably upon the literary quality of the Tattlers this year. But next year the advisors and the staff hope to surpass this year's record. The Tattler may well be called the Pathe News of Conneaut High School. It is published at regular intervals throughout the school year and it attempts to fulfill the “Know All—See All” slogan. Miss Ruth Rossiter acted as the faculty advisor for the regular Tattler, while Mr. Paul F. Sheehan supervised the Senior Tattler. THE SENIOR TATTLER 41 Debate Team James Lowell, Mara Cox. Elizabeth Johnson, Clarence Baxter, Maurice Adams, Coach, Grant Joslin, Bertha Barber, Jane Davis. Wellington Crews. The Debate Team got away with a flying start this year, hut clue to the resignation of Mr. Roy E. Hundertmark, the morale of the Club dropped to a rather low ebb. Finally, with the annual triangular debate but three weeks away, Mr. Maurice D. Adams assisted by Mr. Paul F. Sheehan, succeeded in getting the teams ready for forensic battle. The triangular debate was held on April 21st between Geneva, Austinburg, and Con-neaut. Each negative team remained at home and for the fourth consecutive year each negative team won. Thus the debate resulted in a three-way-tie. The question for debate was: Resolved that the Direct Primary is preferable to the Caucus and Convention System of nominating candidates for public office. Attorney E. I). Loose of Erie, Pa., acted as judge for the Conneaut debate, and after he had given his decision he explained in a delightful manner the reasons for deciding as he did. Attorney Loose said that the people of Conneaut were missing a golden opportunity by not patronizing the debates. It seems that Mr. Loose is correct. Not only are the people of Conneaut missing something of educational value, but they arc discouraging the young students of the high school in their attempt to excel in that most difficult of all arts—oratory. Perhaps this is not the place to make a stump speech hut the editorial staff of this publication feels it necessary to arouse the public to favorable action in this matter. It is a difficult task to spend hour upon hour in research, writing, and practicing. A conscientious debater spends more time in preparation for a ten minutespcech than the average high school athlete spends for a whole season of athletic-carousing. Wo do not wish to cross swords with athletics, but we do say that the debate teams of Conneaut High School have not and never have received the proper support of the students and citizens of Conneaut. 42 THE SENIOR TATTLER Senior Play On Wednesday and Thursday nights May 26 and 27, the people and students of Con-neaut witnessed the presentation of the Senior Play. The vehicle chosen this year was the three-act comedy “Billy.” written by George Cameron and produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The play was under the direction of Mr. W. L. Davis. The people of Conneaut have come to look upon Mr. Davis as the “grand old man of dramatics” in Conneaut. His ability as a director is unquestioned, and the success of “Billy” is but one in a long list of first-class plays with which he has been connected. For twenty-five years Mr. Davis has been connected with dramatics in the city of Conneaut. Previous to that time he had considerable experience in dramatics in Edinboro, and Crawford County, Pa. A few of the outstanding plays in Mr. Davis’ career are: The Drummer Boy, The Old Homestead It Pays to Advertise, Nothing But the Truth, The Whole Town Is Talking, Friendly Enemies Honor Bright, and a host of others. Turning to the cast itself, it might be said that the interpretation given to “Billy” by the various members enhanced the plot of the story by many fold. One satisfied playgoer was heard to remark, “A clever play presented in a finished manner. It was more pleasing to me than many professional performances that I have witnessed.” Each individual in the cast “spoke the speech” and “played the play” in a manner which pronounced “Billy” as being one of the greatest successes that any Senior class in Conneaut High School has yet presented. The story in brief is as follows: Billy Hargrave, a football hero, having lost four teeth in a football game, decides to take a trip on the S. S. Florida while he is getting used to his new false teeth. His sister Alice accompanies him to act as his bodyguard. Unexpectedly Billy meets his fiancee, Beatrice Sloane on board. He is about to propose when someone accidentally hits him on the back and he loses his teeth. He is then afraid to open his mouth to speak to Beatrice and she becomes offended at him. Billy steals Mrs. Sloan’s false teeth and tries to use them hut with no success. Sam Eustace, Billy’s rival, seems to have the advantage. In the meantime, the teeth are found by members of the ship’s crew, and are sold at auction. The bidding becomes desperate. Finally Billy succeeds in buying his teeth for a thousand dollars, and then after returning Mrs. Sloane’s teeth he explains the whole situation to Beatrice resulting in her acceptance of his marriage proposal. Walter Patterson as Billy played the part as only “Pat” could. The role was a difficult one, but he carried the play to success by his excellent character work. Dessalcnc Mosher very ably filled the part of Alice Hargrave, Billy's sister. The part called for a very versatile actress and Miss Mosher filled the part in a very capable manner. Bernice kisley, as the heroine Beatrice Sloane, showed excellent stage presence and proved to be a very capable actress. Desmond Marcy, as Sam Eustace, had the part of the villain, if it could be named as such. He played the part in a clever manner. Each individual in the cast helped to make Billy a success. The support given to the main characters helped in a great degree and each is to be commended upon his work.

THE SENIOR TATTLER 43 The Music Department What would life be without music? It is difficult to realize the awful emptiness of things that would prevail. Music is our natural way of expressing happiness. Music is universal; even the animal kingdom has its form of music. Hut the greatest of all joy is to hear the human soul express itself through the medium of song and musical instrument. Miss Lucille Tilton, supervisor of music in Conneaut City schools, has been with us for three years. She has charge of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, and directs the music in the annual operetta. The success of her work is obvious, judging by the meritorious groups which she directs. MISS LUCILLE TILTON Mr. Carleton C. Davis, a resident of Conneaut, has directed the High School Orchestra for two years. He has succeeded in moulding the members of the orchestra into a true musical unit. To him goes the credit of making it possible for the people of Conneaut to have the opportunity of hearing good music. MR. CARLETON C.

The girls appeared upon several special occasions and pleased their audiences with a fine display of musical ability. The Club was at its best in “The Belle of Barcelona.'

By playing gratis, they have helped to make every dramatic production given in the High School auditorium a success. Conneaut High School is proud of their achievements. Dr. . J.

THE SENIOR TATTLER 47 The Belle of Barcelona THE BELLE OF BARCELONA Undoubtedly the crowning event of the school year was the production of the Spanish operetta “The Belle of Barcelona. It was presented on the nights of March 16 and 17. THE STORY Margarita dc Montero, who has been attending a finishing school, returns to her home in Barcelona at fiesta time. Her friends hold a reception for her in the plaza. After much' hilarity they all depart for the first hull fight of the season where Emilio, Barcelona’s Toreador, is about to defend his title. As they depart Harold Wright, of the U. S. Customs Dept., and his companion, Bat Malone, enter. “Hal” discovers that he had met Margarita three years before in Washington. Their friendship ripens into love and they plan to eloj e because Margarita’s parents had, according to an old custom, taken it upon themselves to betroth her to a Spanish nobleman by the name of Francisco de la Vega who had been planning, with the aid of de Montero’s plantation manager, to defraud the de Montero’s out of a large sum of money. Hal aves Emilio’s life at the bull fight, and later Mercedes, Margarita’s sister, makes Emilio promise that he will take up aviation as a profession instead of bull-fighting. Senor and Senora de Montero are de termined to have Margarita marry de la Vega. The wedding is interrupted by “Hal who denounces de la Vega and proves his guilt. Hal and Margarita are then happily reunited. In the meantime Hal’s companion, Bat, had succeeded in winning the love of Margarita's English governess, Miss Ayers. The plav carried a fine plot and the characters enacted their parts faultlessly. Their voices' blended beautifully in duets and the solos were given in an accomplished manner.

Literary Societies and Clubs I or a number of years the school has sponsored literary societies in one form or another. This year the societies met semi-monthly and presented on the whole some very creditable programs. Literary societies offer an opportunity for students to get in touch with things not ordinarily discussed in the class room; they also afford a good opportunity to cultivate the art of public speaking, which in itself is of untold value. I pon several occasions various clubs presented special programs in assembly. Among the outstanding ones were: The Christmas program, given by the Dramatic Club under direction of Mr. Sheehan; The Temperance Day Program, directed by Mr. Adams; a debate upon the question of establishing a tri-county tubercular hospital, coached by Mr. Hundertmark; and a clever one-act play entitled Modes and Manners, given by the Senior Girls’ Club under the direction of Miss Lodge. THE SENIOR TATTLER ATHLETICS 50 THE SENIOR TATTLER The Coaches MR. ALBERT GRANDSEN Albert Grandson, a graduate of North Central College, Naperville, 111., came to Con-neaut with four years’ experience in coaching athletics and succeeded in directing the fates of Conneaut’s athletes through a rather successful season. During the war Mr. Grandson was stationed at the Great Lakes Nasal Training Station and while there played on his regiment’s football team. While in college “Al” was prominent in all forms of athletics. He held the position of left tackle on the football team, payed at guard in basket-ball, and still holds the college record in the shot put. We hope to see Coach Grandsen with us again next year, for we feel sure that he can produce some championship teams for us. MISS LOIS FREER Miss Lois Freer, girls’ athletic coach, is a graduate of Toledo I'nivcrsity. While at I oledo she took a course in basket-ball technique and was prominent in intra-mural contests. She was a member of the tennis team, the basket-ball team, and won the annual pistol-shooting match. Two years of Miss Freer’s college career were spent at Greenville College, Greenville. 111. While at Greenville she succeeded in making the all-college basket-hall team and was high point -winner in track events. Miss Freer has an abundance of pep and enthusiasm and we feel certain that next year the Fates will be more lenient to our girls’ basket-ball team. THE SEASON Speaking of floods, Conneaut has had a miniature one of its own. At least the athletic field appeared as such during the greater portion of the football season. Considering the condition of the field upon which the games were played, the team did excellent work. Captain Mundy and his fellow mermaids splashed through the muddiest season in years with four victories, three ties, and two defeats. Although we didn’t win the county championship. we gave the Harbor a good, hard battle. The team will miss Mundy. Cohuzzi, S. kangas, Eckoncn. O Connor, Roach, and Pruelson, greatly, but Coach Grandsen has such men as Friend Lyon, Smith, and Woodworth, to build upon) he should have a strong team next fall. The basket-ball season started with a bang and it looked as though Conneaut was sitting on the world so to speak, but at mid-year when the combination of Silo Kangas. Eckonen and Kolebmainen was broken up, because of the semester ruling which excluded Kangas and Eckonen from athletics, the team had to be reorganized. Before the new- combination could hit its stride Geneva had taken us into camp by a score of 13 to 12. Finally, with Truelson and Captain O’Connor playing guards; L. Smith at center; and Kolebmainen, Chapman, and T. Kangas forwards, the team put up a greater fight than any team ever did upon Conneaut’s gym floor. The result, Conneaut 22, Harbor 21. Leland Smith was the find of the season and much is to he expected of him next year. Truelson and O’Connor were mentioned as being a pair of sure-fire guards. Captain O’Connor was undoubtedly the best guard in the county. The girls were rather unlucky all season. The hall either seemed to big for the basket, or else Fate had just decided to give us a jolt. The team will lose Forster, Kananen. Laituri, and Maukonen by graduation, but next year with a little more support from the student body the girls expect to come through with the county banner. « V, % THE senior tattler 51 FOOTBALL TOP ROW Coach Grandsen.

Con-neaut is hindered materially because the facilities for track and field events are limited. A race horse never likes to race until he sees a track. Interest in track is at a rather low ebb in Conneaut High. Perhaps a good track would arouse a little enthusiasm. David Seibert has been elected Captain of the Track Team. He is expected to take a couple of firsts in the Jefferson meet. O’Connor, Koleh-maitien. Friend, Roach, and Kangas are working hard. We expect that as you read this you will have the satisfaction of knowing that they copped the banner at Jefferson on May 20th. The Letter Awards The “Open Sesame” to Conneaut’s Hall of Athletic Fame is the coveted C. In order to obtain a letter the athlete must first prove himself a student, second, a true sportsman, and third, he must have played a specified number of games in order to be eligible. It is not possible for all athletic competitors to be rewarded with a letter. To earn a letter is an honor. To work hard for the team and to plug away even though a letter is not forthcoming is an honor equally as great. The letter awards for the year 1926-27 (track letters not yet awarded) : Football—Mundy, O’Connor, Truelson, Eckonen, S. Kangas, T. Kangas, Seibert, Kako, Yokr, Roach.

THE SENIOR TATTLER 55 LITERARY SOCIETY What greater joy! Aunt Liza Ann knitting—Mrs. Hobson there to gossip with her, and me around the corner to listen! I knew I’d get a nice little call down” because the two never get together without passing some suggestion on how this younger generation could improve upon its morals, or some other like subject so, with all the dignity of a lady—I sat down to take in all that might be said. I knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but I wasn’t—I was merely listening to what was being said! Well. Liza Ann, it’s like this,” I heard Mrs. Hobson say, “Ye can’t deprive them of everything, and still it’s hard to let them go so much, too.” “That’s true,” came the answer, “My Alice has just told me so much about these here parties and proms and masquerades and the like that I’m clear gone on lisnin’ to them any more. She no sooner got her costume to the Senior-Junior made, ’till she up and wanted a dress for some “Cootie” party that the Senior Class gave, and she had the very nerve to wish she was a Junior and a Soph so she could go to their parties too. The Juniors gave their party November 19 and the Sophomores on December 25, so there’d be two more dresses she’d want. You know girls aren’t like they used to be—we had one dress for everything and made it do!” I felt guilty, but when I heard Mrs. Hobson say, I know it,” and she wanted to know alxnit the banquet that was held March 23rd, my guilt left me. What did 1 care? If they could talk, 1 could listen—so I proceeded, or rather I meant to proceed for at that time my kitten had very joyously pulled Aunt Liza’s yarn around the corner—and she was after him. You’ve heard of people moving quickly, but I never knew I could navigate so in all my life! But that was soon over, and the hand of providence lead me to the scene just to hear Aunt Liza tell Mrs. Hobson what time it was when 1 got home from the Junior-Senior prom, and the way she said it! 1 heard her say that the party was the 16th and I didn’t get home until the 17th. and that I just raved and raved about what marvelous entertainers the Juniors were. It got me, so. I very boldly marched from my place of concealment and with the bountiful air of a Senior said in my prettiest voice: “How much did you say I could pay for my Alumni Banquet dress? I know we’ll have a wonderful time—I’ll bring two of them, you can help me choose. But why wait for an answer? I went. —DOROTHY COOK. 56 THE SENIOR TATTLER Commencement Valedictory EDUCATION AND CITIZENSHIP Parents, Friends, Teachers, and Classmates:— Education is considered l y most people to mean essentially training received in a school. Although book-learning plays an important part in the whole, education does not only mean school training but in its finer sense includes all the ways by which the intellectual and moral endowments arc drawn out. Education begins when a child comes into the world and ends when he leaves it—for his powers are ever being developed by all he sees, hears, feels, or does. Never before in the history of the world have ctiizens had such a marvelous chance to he educated and well-informed. And modern inventions and conditions have afforded them this great opportunity. The railroads and the automobiles have practically banished the backwoods. The country man as well as the city dweller may know the issues of the day for the radio, the wireless, and the telephone so closely bind our nation together that these forty-eight states are truly one—one in fact as well as in theory. And the daily newspaper spreads its information into every corner of the land. Now, a great event in California is well known to a New Yorker and knowledge of affairs in Washington is common to every citizen. Thus .America is kept from being an ignorant nation and her citizens are considered the most wide-awake, active, and interested in the wide world. Australia, too, is a country which has been able to coordinate her forces easily and train her citizens well, because she has taken advantage of modern facilities and applied their use to her small continent. And while her citizens grew in intelligence her country grew in degree of independence. Just as Australia has developed from a subordinate country into a practically independent power, so may we expect Africa, India, and South America to do. And the greater powers, such as England and France, must needs relinquish their grasp upon those dependencies which develop a closely-knit body of well-informed inhabitants. For the famous saying of James Madison that “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance” is surely true. Its living proof is found in the land of America containing the most intelligent common people in the world and thereby having the most democratic form of government. These intelligent people gain a large part of their knowledge in schools very highly developed in system. Every citizen has an equal opportunity for receiving elementary education because, in general, attendance at school is compulsory from the ages of six to sixteen. And, in addition to an elementary education, a chance for higher education is offered by high school and college. For the past twenty years, the schools have made it their aim to turn out graduates who are intelligent, well-informed, and clear-thinking; graduates who will he useful citizens to their country because of their training. In order to achieve this end, the schools are now offering a practical course in citizenship training. The foremost aim of this course is to awaken the interest of the students in governmental affairs and to arouse a sense of duty to their native land. This is accomplished through study, through experiment, and through real experience. Information concerning governmental functions, institutions, officers, and principles, is given in the study of Civil Government. History and Sociology provide knowledge of Amercan ideals, and Economics makes clear to the students economic conditions. Throughout all this work an attempt is made to interest the future voters in national, state, and community civics. The the senior tattler 57 second point, experiment, is illustrated by the recent use of the Student Honor System. Of late years, many schools have experimented with this system. In places where it has been successful, the school authorities have found that it provides very good citizenship training in that it focuses the value of honesty and straight-forwardness in the minds of the pupils. Real experience in governing is given by student government through a student council. This student council encounters real problems of government which are similar to those met in civic affairs. Through student government, the principle of cooperation with authority is instilled into the minds of the young scholars. Above all, the school tries to start out into the world honest, straight-forward, clean-minded, clear-thinking, and law-abiding young people. America is striving to preserve a high-grade citizenry for this country—to provide citizens who have the ability to serve their country in their daily work, who fulfill the obligations due to their country, and who have the intellect to know the right course and to avoid the wrong. You, the citizens of Conneaut, have made it possible for this graduating class to be started on the right course in life, and we, realizing that such is the case, wish to express our appreciation and gratitude for the interest which you have shown in our struggles thus far. In leaving high school, we realize that we arc losing in a sense the help and advice of those who are very dear to us. But we go with the knowledge that they are still abetting us in all our future endeavors and enterprises. Classmates, let us assume the responsibility which is placed upon us. In future years, let us so strive to carry out the ideals of citizenship, that we will justify the great trust placed in us. Let us leave our high school days with a firm resolve to do our level best— “to give to the world the best that we have, and the best will come hack to us.” MARIAN WHTTNKY. 58 THK SENIOR TATTLER SALUTATORY THE ONE IN SIX Parents, Friends, Teachers, and Classmates: We, the Class of 1927, welcome you tonight to our commencement exercises. Not only are we the largest class to graduate from Conneaut High School, hut we are the first to have finished under the chartered Junior High plan. We entered Senior High at the beginning of the tenth or Sophomore year. All credits of our class, scholastic and athletic, are figured on this basis. The group most interested in this commencement are not the ones seated on this platform but that larger group in the audience—the fathers and mothers by whose efforts, and perhaps sacrifices, this achievement has been made possible. To them we express our appreciation. Another smaller group, for three years, have followed our failures and successes with tireless effort. Perhaps our future lives will reveal how much we have profited by the work of these—our teachers. We also thank the school officials and citizens of Conneaut who have made this graduation a reality. The small group, who do not wait for things to happen, but who resolutely set themselves to straighten them out. have been typified by Bruce Barton as “The Noble Order of One in Six.” This proportion of one in six is very common in the world. In the House of Commons, and in Congress, the leaven of one in six seems to be required to keep things rightly going. A certain class of individuals grumble about this and that; but the members of the “Noble Order of One in Six” are wasting no time in grumbling; they are busy getting men and machines into motion. The world is full of folks these days who are willing enough if the work is brought their way, but here and there an ardent spirit has the mind to work and think out a job where there was no job before. It is really by these ardent spirits that the world is to be rebuilt. “He is dead who sees nothing to change. No wrong to make right. But contents his indifferent soul With things as they are.” Education is not a necessity for membership in the order of the one in six but other conditions being equal, the educated man’s responsibilities for leadership, either in a big or a humble way, are tremendously greater than those of the uneducated man. Some of our class will have the chance to enter the order through the advantages that college brings, others may find their opportunity in the home or in business. How the opportunity will come is up to each individual. We have received from our high school training just what we have put into it, we will receive from life just what we put into it. Henry Van Dyke has beautifuly described a chain of little lakes in Canada—a necklace of lost jewels—one is bright and friendly—another is sombre and lonely—another is transparent and joyful as the sun’s smile on the face of a child—another is surrounded by fire-scarred mountains, and steep cliffs from above it, and the shores are rough with fallen fragments of rock; it seems as if the setting of the jewels had been marred and broken in battle, but the gem itself shines tranquilly amid the ruins and the lichens paint the rocks, and the new woods spring bright green upon the mountains. There are many more lakes and all are different. It seems strange that they should be sisters, they are so'unlike. But the same stream runs through them all, and lives in them all, and makes them all belong together. So too, at this commencement season, every village and city is graduating its future citizens. Each school has its own peculiarities and virtues, yet running through them all is the spirit that founded the great American Public School System—to train men for leadership and service. —MARTHA KANANEN. THE SENIOR TATTLER 5 ) Class Prophecy WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA In presenting this 1939-40 edition of Who's Who, we wish to say that those whose names appear in this issue have secured their places through some unusual characteristic or achievement, due more to an intellectual accomplishment than to the accumulation of a large amount of money. Not a few of these people have their names on these pages because they have shown that they are mentally eccentric and refuse to follow a common line of reasoning, doing strange, uncalled-for things, and thereby bringing themselves into the limelight.

THK SKXIOR TATTLKR 65 Class History Ultimate success in the world is achieved only by continuous climbing along the stairs of life. There are many landings where a person may rest for a while from the climbing, some never regain strength to proceed further. The fist rest is fatal and they remain on that landing through life. There is no escalator—one must use his own initiative and power in order to ascend. Many find the way difficult and, lacking initiative, begin to descend, at first with slow, relenting step, but, gathering momentum on the downward journey, soon find themselves at the bottom. Once at the base it is a most difficult task to ever regain the will to mount again. All are not started on the same level. There are many before and many after. A hand rail is helpful for a ways, but soon this guide is found lacking and one is left upon his own resources. If he hesitates, he is apt to be trampled by those eager ones from behind. The progress of the members of the class of 1927 on this flight of stairs is hereby chronicled. There are many humorous incidents meriting a place even in history and they shall not he neglected, but our chief purpose as far as is humanly possible, is to establish a true record of events. If all that are listed have not attained the same level as a certain few, perhaps the explanatory reason is that the hand that placed them on the stairs of life was kinder, or it is possible that in our midst we are harboring genius. However, I receive as a good sign the fact that no one has yet turned back. Life is young for this class and there is much to be proved. The rapidity of progress varies as we struggle onward, and the hand rail is about to end. The Historian considers it right and in order to place the Valedictorian’s name at the head of this chronicle. Needlessly 1 will tell the honored one’s name, Marian Whitney. The Valedictory is a great achievement and greater when you consider that Marian was also editor-in-chief of the Tattler. Now, to set down the accomplishments of the remainder of this class as they appear in my mind. Andrew Roy Nelson Truelson is the President of our Class. Everyone knods Andy has made good, not only in the presidency, but in basket-ball and football. He is a Commencement speaker to whom we look forward expectantly. I might add that the Sophomores will miss him after this year. Elizabeth Clark, our “Dede” is also a Commencement speaker. She made a wonderful looking Spanish Senorita in the Operetta. Four years of Latin. My! My! You have, of course, seen, or at least heard, Richard McGuire’s Packard. Everyone likes Dick. He’ll make good we’re certain. Margaret Armstrong p’avs tlv piano or ukclclc in accompaniment to her sweet singing voice, and everybody knows Margaret is one of the prettiest girls in school. Furthermore, she studies in school, which is quite commendable. Albert Cobuzzi is an all around good fellow. He plays the saxophone, is an automobile mechanic, plays football and basket-ball. Maurice Bartoo is the fellow who keeps track of the athletic doings and writes them up in the Tattler. l'helma Blake’s approach to C. II. S. is always heralded by her baby Lincoln. A crash! A bang! That’s unmistakably Thelma. Howard Bell and Albert Tyler have much in common. They both drive cars, are in the Senior Play, work the lights on the stage, and help on the Tattler Staff, also they have a habit of washing their faces. Howard says it’s an old family custom. Dorothy Anderson has been a girl of few words, but a still stream runs deep. She has left her mark in our annals. Mildred Rich is a vivacious maid who has lent her support in all matters except gum chewing—her one weakness. Margaret Christman is one of our Commencement speakers. I like contralto voices, don’t you? Then here’s Miles Dorman of the winning smile and wavy hair. The girls aren’t the only ones who like him. More power to you Miles. Bertha Barber is athletically inclined. She can beat the historian at tennis with her eyes ;hut. Bertha was one of the mainstays on the debate team, too. Kenneth Dudley is another Commencement speaker. There’s a certain sophomore who will be there to listen to him, I’m sure. THE SENIOR TATTLER 66 Ruth Borland makes us feel cheery, even on rainy days, her smile just brims over with “It.” Raul Dripan or Gerard Betz wouldn’t seem natural unless they were together, so I’ll keep them that way. Paul is our artist, you know. Isabell Brabender is a girl who never sulks. I’m certain that many would like to possess her cheerfulness and ability to accomplish whatever she sets out to do. Lewis Brown lends his baritone voice to the Glee Club. Lewis has entertained us many times on the Senior Boys’ Club programs. Dorothy Ferguson is our Latin shark. Just try to stump her. Laura Myers has won laurels in bookkeeping and typing. 1 was just thinking, forgive me, but I could save a lot of time if I could type. William Fenton is our business manager. He lias saved the class check book many an embarrassment. He was an “Old Salt” in the Senior play. Dorothy Cook—Ah, titian damsel, we certainly enjoyed your singing in the operetta. And you’re in the Senior play, too? Well, well. fhomas Goldsmith—versatile fellow—he does most everything and does it well. Some of the things he does are to play the piano, write poetry, drive a car with his feet, and prophecy the doings of this class many years in the future. Margaret Durkee was that efficient girl in the library who knows just where every book is located Donald Justice was the hard-boiled sea-captain in the Senior Play. Mara Cox will be remembered for her excellent basket-ball ability, and of late as an able debater. George Hill always wears a genial smile, and he was this year’s track manager. There are people whose abilities are shadowed by their forwardness; not so with Dorothy Greenwood. Her congeniality alone will recommend her. Grant Joslin was one of the few who has studied Latin for four years. He was on the Debate team, too. Irene Forster—“Sparky”—is a girl who you instinctively like. You know her for her true friendliness and her basket-ball laurels. Neva Eccleston comes here from Fast Conneaut and Neva never, never has been late to school. If anyone wishes that they had pictures of the doings of this class for years back, don’t worry. Just ask Thomas Howard. Donna Kendall is the one who does such perfect typing. She is a cheerful girl, always ready to lend a helping hand. She typed this paper for the Historian. Thank you,’Donna. John Earl Frederick has been with us just one year, but we certainly appreciated him and his work m Debate. Donna Mae Guinon was the stewardess in the Senior Play. She has been in the cast of many previous presentations. Come again! Reid Herrick plays “hot” piano and also helped to make the operetta a success. He is writing a dance tune. Lots of luck, Reid. Has anyone ever seen Edwin Kako when he wasn’t smiling? 1 thought not. Even when he played football, Eddie still retained it. Martha Kananen is our Salutatorian. That shows that athletics help a person to study. She played fine basket-ball. Frances Johnson, a girl with the artistic profile, wrote our class poem. A girl of unknown depth is our Frances. Robert Marcy was the toreador in the operetta. When he had his pictures taken for the Tattler, every girl that didn’t get one of them broke down and wept. School was closed for two days. Margaret Husted is our pride. 1 heard of a fellow who walked six miles to hear her sing in the last operetta. You have a wonderful voice, Margarita. She has written a song for our class. Minnie Laiture, vivacious girl, and Esther Lindala, are two more basket-ball enthusiasts. Esther managed affairs exceptionally well. Desmond Marcy was the villain in the Senior Play. Can you believe it? “Des”, with his sweet personality. Emmer Griffey is another girl who has won the admiration of all by her quiet and industrious work. If this were a prophecy, we would predict a future for such as she. THE SENIOR TATTLER 67 What! Sure enough; Martha Maenpaa, Sannie Syrja, Hilda Tchonen, . and argu-mentive Olive Maukonen. We couldn’t do with out them. All four of these, girls are necessary to the school for models of good students and enjoyable companions. vSulo Kangas, that serious humorist. Who among you does not enjoy seeing him play basket-ball and football? Put down your hand, Sulo. Dessalene Mosher. We all have enjoyed her readings. You certainly can “elccute”, “Dess”! She’s a principal in the Senior Play, too. John Kolehmainen is vice president of the class, a basket-ball and track star. You certainly do your part, John. ‘‘For he’s a jolly good fellow”. Signc Perkio and Hazel Cole are friends from years back. In school these girls are quiet and studious,—but when they’re out for fun, they lead the crowd. Aylene Lower and Lillian Lund, too. Are there any of you present who have not laughed with them ? Their quiet humor is well known. Claribel McKay is another practical joker. But we forgive her. Who could hold any ill feeling for such an otherwise perfect girl. Walter Kidder is that quiet fellow. Yes! Did you know that he writes really clever poetry and can make a speech on nearly any known subject? Well, he can. Bernice Kisley is a popular girl. Nearly every fellow in school must be a gentleman. You’ve heard, I suppose, that ‘‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes!” She was the Heroine in the Senior Play. Bcrnie played the piano in the High School Orchestra. If it had been without her, there wouldn’t have been any orchestra. Frances Pittis and Helen Petrie are in constant demand because of their soothing effect! Oh, by the way, I heard that Frances was riding with a fellow from Florida and when she came home, one from California was sitting on the doorstep. No foolin’. Walter Lyon is a fellow everyone likes and always will. “Pink” plays football, and girls’ hearts. Edward Kuzma is a studious fellow. Any night after school you can see him working [ his books. I envy this quality! Wherever there is a lack of flightiness and flurry, we find accuracy and sureness of accomplishment. This describes the work of Thelma Whitworth during her high school career. All who have read Ralph Meckley’s stories know how clever he is. Ralph says that he wants to be an architect. Ralph is noted for his originality. Daisy Mae Reeves is a quiet girl, but she is conspicuous by this quietness, because everybody knows that her agile mind is always at work. David Seibert is an athlete, he plays football, and was this year's track captain. A good mixer and a true sportsman. Hazel Ross’ favorite instrument is the typewriter. She ought to join an orchestra, her rhythm is perfect. Louis Mondy, speedeist fellow, plays football, basketball, baseball, and goes out for rack. Some record, what? Evelyn Salisbury, another pianist, and a very good one. All have enjoyed her playing for us. She made many friends here who will always remember her. Francis O’Connor, the force behind many things, among them football, basketball, track, and baseball, and everyone likes him a lot! Clara Ralston, do I hear sighs? Yes! She has made many hearts palpitate. She is wise and understanding. The historian feels that he must say no more. Gary Painter, that quiet studious fellow! Excuse me, I was thinking of Walter Patterson ! To proceed—Gary plays the hottest banjo of anyone in the class. He took the part of a fond parent in the Senior Play. Popular? I’ll say so! Mariana Smith, the nicest blue eyes, and sweet temper. Oh, my! She leans toward Dramatics, has been in many plays, and took a motherly role in the Senior play. Mariana worked hard on the Tattler Board too. Robert Robison. Don’t worry, Bob, 1 won’t embarrass you by writing of your hair and the effect you have on girls! I must state that he has taken part in nearly every theatrical presentation that has appeared in Conneaut. Bob's singing in Operettas is truly fine. Marian Taylor, a temperamental child. She dances for us, entertains with her quick wit and never bores anyone. Some time if you find her in the right mood she’ll sing for you. Try it! Elizabeth Twichcl draws amusing pictures for us. This alone should excuse her for being late to school. 68 THE SENIOR TATTLER Chauncey Pendleton is a fellow we’ll always remember and forgive for his practical jokes. Chauncey plays the banjo and sings sweet tenor. Katherine Treas. If you want to be absolutely certain that a task will be carried out ask Katherine, and if she says she will do it she will. Katherine should be thanked for her work on committees in the past. Raymond Roach plays football and has many friends. “Roachy” does not care to let it be known, but he plays the trombone very well. He likes to play this instrument but will soon be forced to stop because of the expense. He has twice blown out all the gold fillings in his teeth. Ray Shriver goes out for track. Ray has given many interesting talks in Literary Society. Loella Walters isn t at all true to her class. She is seen quite often in a former stage Tfanager’s Ford coupe. Harold Webb, an able debater, also plays trombone in the High School Orchestra and took the part of a dignified doctor in the Senior Play. Joseph Stanziano plays mighty fine football. He’s a good mixer. Kenneth Stewart’s personality drew for him many friends. Hard work in school and out was his most commendable trait. He has a witty line, it helps a lot. Irene Waid is a demure girl. No one would know how hard she studies if they didn’t see her marks. Did you ever notice her eyes? I knew it! You can’t help it. George Turja is a basket-ball player, and good-looking. Just glance at his picture in '.he Tattler! George has always been quiet, but we like it. Irene Warga and Gertrude Wright shall be together until the last. Both have won typing awards. .Karl Taylor will always be remembered for his entertaining talks in Literary and Senior Boys’ Club. He has the power to hold an audience as long as he desires. ’Tis not a finished work with all the deft and Subtle touches of the master’s art. The painting of the masterpiece is left to you— This is a mere outline—Just a start— On which my toil has stopped. —Walter Justin Patterson. 70 THE SENIOR TATTLER Office Hours from 1:00 till won SOPHOMORE GAZETTE Weather Forecast: Rain, snow, clear, hot.

The city sleuths were concluding an unsuccessful and baffling search for the law-breaker when Patrolman Jones, leader of one o fthe posses, discovered the culprit hiding behind a bill-board at the intersection oi Harbor and State streets. Jones states that the posse would have passed the culprits’ place of concealment had it not been for the loud noise caused by the dainty lawbreaker’s gum. Miss Golstein still remains steadfast in her confession that she has robbed only stores in Conneaut selling Wrigley Products. County Prosecutor, John Ingram, states that there are several other charges against Miss Goldstein. One of the major charges reported is that on the afternoon of May 20, George Fortune, the State’s star witness, swears that Miss Golstein stole softly from behind a fire plug on Main street and ran down the street past Phillips’ jewelry store, stooping long enough to steal a glance at the clock. Turning suddenly, she was confronted by John Friend, the Chief of Police, and after stealing a kiss she stole away. Miss Goldstein will be ar-raigned in Judge Ritari’s court on charges of grand larceny. MOVrE NOTES 1. Students of C. II.

This is the broadcaster speaking from Station JUNIORS. Hope everybody's goin’ to like this new column. I’m afraid it ain’t goin’ to have much class from a literary standpoint and it may be a bit lowbrow to those of you who have an intimate acquaintanceship with the President’s English, but we sure aim to make it powerful interesting. This station manufactures the latest news items, society news, etc., and broadcasts by permission of the C. H. S. Tattler Staff. As usual the letters of questions will he read and answered. It is very amusing to receive these letters and more amusing to answer some of the brilliant questions. Well, well, wc shall proceed to read and answer them. Dear Miss Broadcaster:—Last mon:h I wrote you regarding a gold watch I lost which I value very highly as it was an heirloom. 1 asked you to print an advertisement in your column and I waited and waited. Yesterday I went home and found the watch in the pocket of my other suit. God bless your station ! —Richard Grant. Thank you, write again. Dear Miss Broadcaster:—Did Christopher Columbus’ great-great-grandmother have a wart on her nose? —Hazel Beckwith. You arc right. Hazel. Then on the other hand, how should I know? Dear Miss Broadcaster:—Did Abe! have an accident policy when Cain slugged him? Are you from Chicago? —Paul Rist. Dear Miss Broadcaster:—I am a handsome looking young man and am pestered with pretty girls. How can I get rid of them? —James Lowell. This matter is serious indeed. Send a self-addressed envelope, or better yet for good results take 2 ounces of bed-bug poison. Dear Miss Broadcaster:—What is going to be the latest in shoes this season? .. . , —Chloe Hill, rcct, as usual, Chloe. An item of interest has been reported lost. The Freshmen girls’ Hearts to Jim Lowell. If found please return to Freshmen Boys. A person missing from Massillon has been reported as headed for this part of the country. This person goes by the name of “Chippy,” and should be reported to police if seen. The police will probably return him to his former home. A message has been received pertaining to an immense hold-up. Two masked Seniors ntcrcd Mr. Richard Harris’s home and swiped his tri-cycle. No clews were found pertaining to the exact identity of these hold-up men. Such is an illustration of two minds with but a single thought. If anyone secs anything of this vehicle which bears the following license Jr. 1926-1927, please return (the tri-cycle) to the bereft one. On behalf of the assistant broadcaster, W. Whitehead, and his family, we wish to thank all radio fans who so generously remitted kind tokens of condolence to the poor bereaved family whose canary was attacked and eaten by a beautiful, but dumb, animal owned by Miss Agnes Ring, East Conneaut. May the canary rest in a comfortable coffin! I wish to announce the success of Eddie Flynn in inventing a noise eliminator for celery. Wc wish Mr. Flynn all the success he can stand (or sit) in the future. The following number on the program will be a song by Margaret O’Connor accompanied on the piano by Jane Davis. Mae Johnson writes us that it is real hot in her home and asks where she can buy a radio fan. Last week in 11A Bookkeeping Class the following took place: Mr. Morris said: “Are there any dumb-bells in this class? If so please stand up.” Nobody stood up and finally Margaret O’Connor stood. He said, “Are you a dumbbell?” And she said, “No, but I hate to see you stand alone.” We’re really not weary of broadcasting for you, but the folks at this station say that ;ve’rc through. This is Mary Kchoe announcing, signing off from station JUNIORS at exactly nine rainutes after eastern standard time. Good-bye, Everybody.
