KOONTZ SUPERINTENDENT Yale University, B. A. — Columbia University; M. A. Qreetings to the Qlass of 1940 Lose money, lose nothing; Lose honor, lose much; Lose heart, lose all. —Earl Lytton. Do not lose heart if you do not find employment as soon as you get out of school. This is to be expected. There are more young people in this country today between the ages of 16 and 25 than there are positions. Continue to prepare yourself and your opportunity will soon come. As a group the young people graduating from our high schools in 1940 are the best prepared that have ever gone out from the schools. Society will not long be without the need of your services. Keep up your courage and keep smiling. Norman Koontz, Superintendent of Schools. VIRGIL R. HENRY PRINCIPAL B. S., M. Ed.

The Trojans captured the Lake Shore crown for the first time since 1934, and finished the season with a perfect record, remaining undefeated in ten games. The games were won in typical hard-fighting Trojan style, each man doing his part well to form an invincible grid machine. Following is a summary of the ten-game schedule: Cleveland Central, a dusky aggregation, was the first victim for the Trojans. They were defeated by a score of 7-0, Sept. 15, managing to put up a stubborn defens? which harassed the local boys throughout the game. A pass from Anthony to Cifelli accounted for the lone score; Anthony kicked for the extra point. Next to be trampled under Trojan spikes were the light but game gridmen from Fairview, Sept 26. Duff Bricker took high scoring honors with two touchdowns, while Frankie March and John Anthony accounted for one apiece to make the final score 26-0. Painesville’s Red Raiders were easily disposed of, as the two teams battled on a rain-drenched field. This was the first league clash of the season, and it was sparked by that Trojan determination to start the season with a “bang.” Anthony scored twice and booted the extra tally which made the final score 13-0, Sept. 29. The Eagles of Geneva invaded the Municipal Stadium with high hopes of upsetting the Sons of Troy, but were overpowered by a 33-6 count in the second league clash, October 6. Frankie March came through with four goals, and Bricker took care of the fifth. Anthony placed three out of five well-aimed extra points through the uprights to put the finishing touches on a sparkling game. Fowler ran around Conneaut’s right end for their only touchdown. Taking a few of their concealed trick plays out of the bag, and coupling them with 16-cylinder power plays, the locals massacred Union City’s Bears, 40-6, on October 13. Frank March and Wally Smith tied for top honors with two goals each. Anthony shot a pass to Cifelli which was good for a touchdown, and then scampered 35 yards for the la.st score. Mineo, enemy fullback, got away for 74 yards and a touchdown to save the Bears from a complete whitewashing. Then came the highly-touted Panthers of Ashtabula, traditional Trojan rival as far back as can be remembered. The Panthers were outclassed and outplayed as they were trounced by a 13-7 score on October 20, in the highlight game of the year. The entire team displayed the true Trojan spirit as ’Bula was stopped dead in every play. Duffy Bricker crossed the Panther goal twice and Anthony booted one extra point for a total of thirteen points. Ashtabula’s ground attack proved quite inefficient, but a pass from Gentile to Collette and Ball’s kick for the extra tally accounted for the visitors’ seven points. Still riding high on a tidal wave of six straight games, the Trojans swept over the Willoughby Ranger, 33-0, on October 26. The Rangers could collect only 22 yards during the entire game as compared with Conneaut’s 303 yards. March came through with flying colors with three touchdowns to his credit. Duff Bricker and Hank Cifelli each contributed one goal and the game ended w;th the Trojans again threatening. Trojan met Trojan as Conneaut and Greenville clashed in one of the hardest battles of the season. The Conneaut boys proved themselves superior, however, and toppled the Greenville boys by a score of 20-0 on November 3. Anthony scored on a 7-yard plunge for the first score, and later went through the visitors’ line for his second THE TATTEElt 33 score.

They were also awarded berths on the coveted All-Ohio eleven. Conneaut High School was recognized as having the league’s outstanding team, as the Trojans carried oxf live first-team places together w tn one second team award and honoraoie mention ior eight other gnomen. These awards are as lolxows: Lake Shore League, first team: John Anthony, haltoacK; Joe Ferl, tackle; Frank March, quarterback; Hank Cifelli, left end; Don Bly, leit guard. Lake Shore League, second team: Duff Bricker, quarterback. Honorable mention, Lake Shore League: Wally Smith, Francis Williams, George Adams, George Putnicki, Raymond Morris, John Sylvester, Art Nunisto, Bob Miller. Anthony and Ferl were named captains of the all-league team. So ended a perfect football year, a year studded with highlight games and highlight players. The head coach of Ohio State University, Francis Schmidt, was the guest speaker at the seventh annual Football Banquet held on December b, at the Elks’ Lodge. Coach Schmidt congratulated the Trojans on their perfect season under the efficient coaching of “Dutch” Hoppes and Johnny Brace. Jack Graney, widely-known sports commentator, and “Stu” Kell, sports writer, also gave brief talks, congratulating the squad and coaches on their fine work. The program opened with the Invocation toy Reverend Joseph Kenney. Edwin Zack, toastmaster, introduced Charles Halyday, Exalted Ruler of the Elks, who welcomed the Trojans. Co-captains John Anthony and Henry Cifelli gave responses. Brief talks were given by Norman Koontz, V. R. Henry, Louis Vettel, Carl Phelps, and Ben Olds. Harry Rockwell led the group in singing “The Beer Barrel Polka,” and Mrs. Clyde Smith led the singing of “God Bless America.” Accompanists were Mr. and Mrs. Tom Smith. Johnny Brace spoke on the future of the Trojans. Coach Hoppes then made the letter and gold football awards, remarking on each player’s achievements as he did so. The boys receiving awards and letters were as follows: John Anthony, Henry Cifelli, George Adams, Frank March, Robert Miller, Raymond Morris, Arthur Niinisto, George Putnicki, Wallace Smith, Robert Steele, Thomas Knox, John Sylvester, Francis Williams, George Ferl, Robert Herpy, Thomas Raynor, Vincent Reo, and Mike Bartone. Mr. Schmidt showed pictures of the Ohio State-Michigan and Ohio State-Mis-souri games after the program. 34 TIIE TATTLER HASHKTI A 1.1, TKAM liACK ROW, Lt ft to Right: James Lengyel, Francis Leach.

The Trojans landed in the cellar position, after winning only one league game and one outside game. Confronted with a 14 game schedule, Conneaut won from Fail-port for the only league win, and capitalized on a revenge game with Union City. Only five players were awarded basketball letters. These letters were awarded at the annual basketball bano.uet given this year by the Kiwanis Club. The boys winning the letters were as follows: Raymond Morris, George Putnicki, Frank March, Joe Ferl, Bob Steele. Following is a list of the games played during the past season.

Although garneting only a meagre 18 points the blue and white was yet able this year to place sixth, ne:;t to last, at the Lake Shore League meet at Jefferson, May 15. The response to Coach hoppes’ call for track men this year was better than in any other recent year. Conneaut showed its increased power on the cinders in the initial fray with Erie Tech, May 3. It won the same number of first places as the invaders, losing only through vital second and thirds by Erie. Harbor went down before the Trojan guns, May 7, 63-55, in the league’s first night track meet. Geneva topped the Conneaut hosts, 62-56, May 10, in their only other meet. Wally Smith was the outstanding man on the team. His brilliant work in winning the mile run each time he entered the event brought him league wide acclaim. The mile relay team nabbed firsts in all but the Lake Shore League meet. This year for the first time the Tattler prints a record of the best marks set by Conneaut High athletes in any form of track since the invocation of that sport in the school in 1896. These records will be changed as new marks are set. 100-yd. dash, 10.3 seconds, Roland Capela, 1934, dual meet with Geneva. 220-yd. dash, 23 seconds, Ralph Wagoner, 1908, Ashtabula County track and field meet. 440-yd. dash, 51.2 seconds, Jack McConnell, 1934, Lake Shore Meet.

CO o THE TATTLER 40 TIIE TATTLER The Banc) at Ool umbus After many weeks of diligent practice, the Conneaut School Band, led by Kaarlo Mackey, went to the State contest at Columbus, May 4. Twenty-eight cars transported the eighty-five piece band, starting from the Junior High building at 8:00 a. m. Most of the cars began to arrive at the Deshler-Wallick Hotel after 3:00 p. m. Rooms were assigned to the different groups upon arrival at the hotel, after which everyone could be at leisure until 5:00 p. m. when everyone was to get dressed for the contest. Conneaut was to play at 7:00 p. m and the driving distance from the hotel to the Ohio State University was five miles. After warming up a bit, the band went to be seated in the place provided in the Boys’ Gym where the class “A” bands played. Finally the judges came to their places and the bard started on its warm-up march Hands Across the Border” by Gagnier, this being followed by the required overture, “Manx,” then the selective number ‘ Tannhauser.” When the band was through with its three studied numbers, it was then brought to a sight-reading room where it played a number it had never seen before. After this, everyone returned to the hotel. At 9:00 p. m., a turkey dinner was served to the Conneaut group in the Spanish room of the hotel. Mr. Mackey, in a short speech, told the results of the contest. Conneaut received a “superior” rating, surpassed only by two other bands. After the dinner, dancing was enjoyed by band members and boosters, everyone doing as they pleased afterwards. Sunday morning, breafast was served in the Ionian room of the hotel to members and boosters of the band. Most of the people began to leave after breakfast, though many stayed to go sightseeing around the capital. It truly was a trip that will be remembered. SOLO CONTESTS On March 16 four high school musicians participated in the District Solo Contest at Alliance, Ohio. John Holkko, clarinet, Wilho Wintturi, bass clarinet, and Aino Naykki, flute, qualified for the State Contest. Dick Fortune, cornet, received an Excellent rating but was not eligible for the State competition. At the State Contest at Oberlin on April 27, John and Wilho received Superior ratings and were made eligible for the National contest. Aino received a rating of Excellent but did not qualify for Nationals. Accompanist for both the District and State contests were Aurora Airo and Marjorie Stevens. John and Wilho received second and third ratings respectively at the National contest at Battle Creek, Mich., on May 15. Their accompanist was Elizabeth Crews.

THE TATTLER 47 OPPERETTA The annual High School Operetta, “Top O’ the World,” was presented in the High School Auditorium April 3 and 4, 1940. The production was under the direction of Mr. Kaarlo Mackey, music; Mr. Paul Sheehan, speech; Mrs. Velma Shepherd, dancing; and Miss Ruth Schultz, costumes. The story of the operetta concerned an orphaned girl’s search for her long-lost brother while on a vacation at the Grand Canyon. The cast of characters follows: Ma Spinks, Elizabeth Crews; Florry, Marjorie Stevens; Jack Bean, Dick Miner; Miss Lee, Kanerva Korhonen; Donald, John Henson; Rosalind, Cora Mae McKee; Ezra Spinks, Dean Horton; Nancy Gray, Mary Jane Marcy; Truman, Paul Wishon; Jim Gray, Don Bly; Mr. Gray, Dale Thayer; Pokeasy, Bill Cowden; Big Bill, Frank March; Tony, Richard Chase; Wild Hawk, Bud Grable; Pinch, Joe Contino; Betty, Sylvia Wirk-kala; May, Eleanor Raines; Sheriff, Loren Burns; Mayor, Bill Sherman; a cowboy, Duff Bricker; and the Indian chief’s daughter, Norma Howard. SENIOR PLAY Under the direction of Mr. Sheehan, the annual Senior play, “Prize Family” was presented on December 7. The play, a three-act comedy, was centered around the efforts of the Perkins family to win a puzzle contest. The amusing efforts of “Pinkie” and Boyle, gangsters from New York, who wanted to be on hand when the Perkins received the prize money added greatly to the success of the play. The cast included: Cora Mae McKee as Ma Perkins; Douglas Roberts as Will, her husband; Marjorie Stevens as “Bobby” and Natalie Reid as Una, her daughters; Dale Thayer as “Doc” Piper; Dick Miner as Kenneth Scott, originator of the contest; Richard Chase as Boyle and Dean Horton as “Pinkie”; Peggy Donnelly as Mary, Eleanor Raines as Bertha, Ruth Fife as Lulu, three maids Ma Perkins interviewed but they proved unsatisfactory; Robert Miller as Dr. Kipper; Ann Van Besien as a sob sister; Kanerva Korhonen as a camerawoman; and Elizabeth Crews as Mrs. O’Leary, the truant officer. Julia Sanford was prompter; Thomas Knox was stage manager. —Pat Jackson. THE TATTLER 49 Class ttistolu RICHARD FORTUNE As I write the history of the class of 1940, I keep thinking how different our lot might be if we lived in another part of the world. Here we have a class whose ancestors came from England, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Poland and other countries of the world, yet they are all living together in complete harmony and are not obliged to take up arms against one another. If these students were in the countries from which their ancestors came, they would be obliged to discontinue their schooling and enter the army. How lucky we are to be citizens of a country where we have the freedom of religion, speech, and press, where we can still hope to read the truth instead of propaganda in our newspapers. Most of the class of 1940 have traveled the rugged road together throughout the Junior and Senior High School. However, in our Junior year, Shirley Bales came to us from West Springfield, and during the Senior year, Paul Wishon from North Kingsville, Merle Childs from East Conneaut, and Robert Howard from Toledo. Robert finished his work at mid-year. From the one-hundred-fifty-one students entering Senior High in the Sophomore year, class officers were elected as follows: Henry Cifelli, .president; Anthony Pape, vice-president; Raymond Morris, secretary; Donald Bly, treasurer. In scholastic achievements we were represented in the Kent tests by Richard Chase who won first in Biology; Robert Miller, fourth in Biology; Peggy Donnelly, ninth in Latin; Marjorie Stevens, Honorable Mention in English. Under the supervision of our class advisors, Miss Johnson and 'Mr. Macmillan, a clever party was given. Two of our group. Marjorie Stevens and Wallace Smith were fortunate in being picked for leading parts in the annual operetta—“The Belles of Beaujolais.” During our Junior year we were led by Richard Fortune, president; Peggy Don-nely, vice-president; Robert Steele, secretary; Jake Castrilla, treasurer. Our class advisors were Mr. S'ayre and Miss Bigler. Under their leadership we sponsored a number of parties, the most notable of which was the Junior-Senior Prom. Who will ever forget how beautifully the Odd Fellows’ Hall was decorated? The taste of home made cookies and punch; how gorgeous the girls looked in their formats; the gallantry of the boy.s; also, the good orchestra which made dancing a pleasure. Do you also remember that Richard Chase and Cora Mae McKee received a prize for the best dancing? In the operetta, “The Gypsy Troubador,” Elizabeth Crews sent the audience into gales of laughter in her character role, and Mary Jane Marcy, Marjorie Stevens and Dick Miner also had leading parts. In scholarship we were well represented at Kent. Those receiving awards were, Tina Kapsanis, first in typewriting; Douglas Roberts, fifth in Chemistry; Richard Chase, sixth in Chemistry; Elizabeth Crews. Honorable Mention in French; Sylvia Wirk- oO THE TATTLER kala. Honorable Mention in English; Anne Van Besien took the test in Junior Shorthand and won seventh place. The most outstanding year of our schooling was the Senior year with Sylvia Wirkkala serving as president, Henry Cifelli as vice-president, Raymond Morris as treasurer, and Robert Steele as secretary. Miss Bigler and Mr. Sayre were again appointed our class advisors. This has been one of the biggest years in our football history. No wonder we won the championship in the Lake Shore League with boys like John Anthony and Henry Cifelli on the team as co-captains. Several of the Senior boys were especially honored at the annual Football Banquet held at the Elks Club. These were John Anthony, Joe Pet-1, Bob Miller, Wallace Smith, Thomas Knox, Donald 'Bly, Art 'Niinisto, Robert Steele, Henry Cifelli, Francis Williams, Thomas Raynor, Duff Bricker, Raymond Morris, and John Sylvester. For their fine work, they received inscribed gold footballs. On the basketball team were Robert Steele, Ray Marvin, Norbert Moser, Raymond Morris, and Joe Ferl. This is the first class to witness a track meet under the lights of Conneaut’s wonderful stadium. Conneaut won this meet by a margin of eight points over Ashtabula Harbor. Much credit is due to “Wally” Smith who starred in the mile and half mile races, Joe Ferl who was outstanding in the discus throw, one-hundred yard dash, and broad jump, and Red Morris who shined in the broad jump. On December 7, 1939, the Senior Class presented the play entitled “Prize Family.” The roles of father and mother were ably played by Cora Mae McKee and Douglas Roberts. Natalie Reid and Marjorie Stevens took the parts of the two daughters of the family. Didn’t Dick Miner make a wonderful Romeo? The parts of gangsters were well played by Dean Horton, Richard Chase and Bob Miller. Who will ever forget Dale Thayer who played the part of the eccentric biologist who loved flowers and was easily taken in by the crooks. Others taking part were Peggy Donnelly, Eleanor Raines, Ruth Five, Anne Van Besien, and Kanerva Korhonen. Those who had leading parts in the annual operetta were, Elizabeth Crews, Donald Bly, Marjorie Stevens, Paul Wishon, Dick Miner, Kanerva Korhonen, Cora Mae McKee, Dean Horton, Mary Jane Marcy, Dale Thayer, Sylvia Wirkkala, Richard Chase, Eleanor Raines, William Sherman, and Duff Bricker. Included in the chorus were the following Seniors: Anne Van Besien, Shirley Brewster, Joyce Emmett, Natalie Reid, Linda Nyman, Peggy O’Neil, Richard Chase. Helen Zappitello, Francis Williams, Claude Wheatall, Charles Tucker, and Ernest Robinson. It is with regret that sixteen Seniors say “goodby” to the Conneaut School Band. With great pride they have watched it develop into “One of the outstanding Bands in the State of Ohio. A large part of the credit of this success is due to Mr. Mackey, its director. Two of the Senior Band members won recognition at both District and State Solo Contests. John Holkko, Clarinet, “Superior” rating; Bill Wintturi, base clarinet, “Superior” rating, making them eligible for National Contest that was held in Battle Creek, Michigan. Dick Fortune, cornet, won “Excellent ” rating at District meeting held THE TATTLER 51 at Alliance, Ohio. Other Seniors in the Band are Aurora Airo, Karl Perala, Henry Naste-lin, Dick Miner, Jack Adamson, Harold Briggs, Douglas Roberts, Sylvia Wirkkala, Cora Mae McKee, Opal Smith, Elizabeth Crews, and Dale Thayer. The High School Orchestra must not be forgotten. Aside from playing at our Senior play and operetta it has been a great addition to our assembly programs. The ten Seniors who are leaving this year are John Holkko, Dick Fortune, Douglas Roberts, Peggy Donnelly, Keith Keidel, Dean Horton, Karl Perala, Henry Nastelin, Kanerva Korhonen, Cora Mae McKee, Opal Smith, and Marjorie Stevens. The Dance Band has certainly furnished fine music for the dances at our class parties and I know that those who have danced to its rythm will say that it is a success. Senior members include John Holkko, Dick Miner, Dick Fortune, Wilho Wintturi, Marjorie Stevens, Jack Adamson, Harold Briggs, Cora Mae McKee, Dean Horton, Karl Perala. The Tattler Staff includes Marjorie Stevens and Dick Miner as co-editors; Peggy Donnelly, business manager; Mary Jane Marcy, advertising manager; Eleanor Raines, circulation manager; Don Campanelli, sports editor and Tina Kapsanis and Ruth Stein-hoff have acted as typists for the staff. Under their supervision we have had a very fine paper. We must not fail to mention the group which won for themselves the right of membership in the Honor Society. Members include the following Seniors; Opal Smith, Elizabeth Crews, Peggy Donnelly, Mary Glogoski, Marjorie Stevens, Ruth Steinhoff, Douglas Roberts, Bob Miller, Sylvia Wirkkala, Elizabeth Pratt, S’teve Wassie, Elna Tuominen, Dick Miner, Richard Chase, Don Campanelli, Helen Di Baggio, Anne Van Besien, Jeanne Steel, Eleanor Raines, and Juanita Hoskins. In scholarships our class is well represented. We made an especially good showing at Jefferson with Dick Miner taking first place; Robert Miller, sixth place; and Marjorie Stevens, tenth place. While at Kent Tina Kapsanis receiving second in shorthand; Don Campanelli, fifth in shorthand; Dick Miner, eleventh in History; and Douglas Roberts, eighteenth in physics. At the Girls’ Banquet, which is sponsored by the girls of the Senior Class,, Eleanor Raines acted as toastmistress while Opal Smith spoke in behalf of the class. A very clever little play entitled “Ask Nancy” was given with the following cast of characters: Eleanor Groger, Joyce Emmett, Ruth Fife, Linda Nyman, Jane Murphy, and Theresa Paduano. Time and .space prevent our mentioning each individual achievement but I have attempted to brush the highlights of our history, and now as the one-hundred-twenty-two members of the Senior class we wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Henry for all his fine advice and guidance throughout our three years in Senior High. A great deal of credit also goes to our faculty who have so graciously guided us through our school years. And so in closing I wish to say that it is with deep regret that we leave our high school. 52 THE TATTLER Class Will ROBERT STEELE We the Senior Class of 1940, being: of sound mind and body and having attained the highest degree in mental development, do hereby make these last requests.

THE TATTLER 55 (3lass Picpliecv By Dale- Thayer There’s nothing like a Spring World Tour to revive a fellow’s jaded nerves. The scenery, countries, and people I would see and meet would surely offer a perfect vacation. I decided to forget my cares and business worries with a World Cruise, so on May 1, 1960 I boarded the train at my home in Chicago, and started for New York. I found my compartment, and soon settled down for a restful ride. Soon there was a rap at my door. “Yes, what is it?’’ I asked. “Telegram, suh,” came the reply. I opened the door. “Why,Bill Bremner, what are you doing here?’’ I asked in surprise. “I’m the Western Union messenger boy, now!” he replied. After we had conversed a few minutes, he left. I opened the telegram which read: Mr. Dale Thayer, “Continental Clipper Cruises Incorporated dropped twenty points”—Robert C. Miller, President. “Good heavens, why should the market drop like that?” I pondered. No doubt Richard Chase has flooded it again. The police will get that guy yet. I glanced at my watch. It was almost dinner time. I changed my clothes, and rang for a valet. There came a knock at the door. “Come in!” I called. In walked Ray Morris. “What are you?” I asked in blank astonishment. “Bootblack,” he replied. “The valet is busy taking a letter for some woman.” I gave him my clothes to be pressed, and tipped him generously. Then I sat down at the only vacant seat in the diner. It was opposite a young woman whose face I could not see. Soon she put aside her menu, whereupon I glanced at her face. She was none other than the gay divorcee just returning from Reno—Joyce Emmett! I knew her by newspaper photographs. I looked around the dining car carefully avoiding Miss Emmett’s eyes. There— in the front end of the car—was Julius Cebasek and his wife. Weren’t his children cute? I asked myself, “Who were that couple across from me?” Duff Bricker, a world famous dancer, with his latest partner, Marjory Hackett! I ordered my dinner, and having finished it, I walked into the Club Century. I sat down at a table, and tried to see through the darkness flying by outside. My attention was brought back quickly by a beautiful singing voice. I han’t noticed an orchestra playing before. The singing continued, and I put on my glasses to see if I could recognize the singer. Surely enough, I did. Miss Jane Murphy was appearing with the Rug Cutter Orchestra. This orchestra, I remembered, was conducted by a Mr. John Holkko who was the best clarinetist in the United States. What was the name of that song Jane was singing? Why, of course, it was the new hit, “Rattlesnake Rag.” The words of the song were written by William Sherman, and the music by Anthony Pape. Both of them were well known song composers. I remembered Anthony especially because he had been in one of my classes back in C. H. S., and was always humming. Soon the music became so fast and violent that I left. The train arrived at the Midtown Station the next morning, and I quickly hailed a cab to take me to the boat docks. Arriving there I handed the driver five dollars. Heavenly day! I looked again at the driver. It was an old friend, Douglas 56 THE TATTLER Roberts. We greeted each other eagerly and talked of old times a few minutes. On the cruiser I was shown to my stateroom by a steward, and I unpacked my suitcases and trunks. The boat sailed at three o’clock that afternoon. The usual tears and farewells accompanied the departure. One little lady 1 noticed in particular, was quietly weeping. I walked over to her and asked, “May I offer my handkerchief?” She looked up astonished. “Julia Sanford Horton!” I stammered. We talked for a while, and I found why she was crying. A Mr. Dean Horton, her husband and a well known salesman, was supposed to bid her bon voyage, and he hadn’t appeared. The first morning out I decided to walk around the first class deck on which my stateroom was located. I strolled casually along carefully looking at and recognizing other people who were fellow travelers. Lounging in a deck chair was His Majesty, William Wintturi, II who recently was found to be the missing heir of the Ramblon-ian throne. At His Majesty’s left sat his “rumored” wife, Miss Cora Mae McKee, who, like another American woman of past history, was not recognized by the Ram- blonian Royal Family as Queen. In another chair sat Tommy Knox, the famous news commentator. Ah, the swim-niing pool was ahead. I sat down in a deck chair and watched the swimmers. Perched on the highest diving board was a graceful figure. Suddenly she leaped and dived beautifully into the crystal pool. By George, that was Miss Shirley Brewster, the diving queen of the world. Across the pool sipping tea under a huge umbrella were Donald Bly, the hat designer; Henry Cifelli, a famous dress designer; and Miss Mary Thompson, who recently had created lipstick to match one’s eyes. Later in the evening, I was invited to attend the Captain’s Ball. I dressed in formal attire, and went to the ballroom. All the celebrities were there including Miss Elizabeth Pratt, a well known debutante of New York, and Mr. Gilbert Rood and his wife, the former Ruth Steinhoff, who were enroute to China as missionaries. I also noticed a trio who had entered the ultra-smart society of Fifth Avenue, New York, nearly fifteen years before, and had since refused to leave it. In those days they were known as the three debs. I was referring to the Misses Marjorie Stevens, Vio-lette Cooper, and Mary Jane Marcy. I have heard rumors that they have their breakfast served at three o’clock in the afternoon. The dance was delightful except that someone kept climbing the chandelier. Later I was told that it was Mr. Karl Perala, who was given an extra “kick,” in his “horse’s neck.” His wife, the former Aurora Airo, was reported missing, but as it was her first trip across the ocean, her disappearance was easily explained. Towards the end of the party the captain appeared. I was speechless, because it was none other than my old Conneaut High football friend, Wallace Smith. I returned to my stateroom, and prepared for bed. I had removed my plate, when I heard a knock at the door. “Who is it?” I questioned. “Cablegram!” was the reply. I opened the door and looked around. No one was there. The cablegram lay on the threshold. After I hastily opened it, I read. Mr. Dale Thayer: “Advise you sell American Can quickly stop. It dropped fifty points stop, (signed) Merle Childs. “How would Merle know?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer my attorney’s cable because I was determined to enjoy myself without business worries. The third day I wandered through the magnificent stores on the ship. One in particular attracted my attention. It was a perfume shop. I entered and was received by two rapid sprays of perfume in my face. I wiped my eyes, and went over to the counter. THE TATTLER 57 “May I help you, Monsieur V” someone asked. I looked up from my perfume-spotted tie, and stared Claude Wheatall in the eye! 1 replied that I would like to purchase a lew drams of perfume. Mr. Wheatall snapped his lingers, and soon three ladies came lorward. 1 recognized them as the Misses Laura Cox, Lharlotce Bra-bender, and Margaret O’Neill. Each walked by me and sprayed more perfume on me. 1 quickly bought a bottle, and hurried back to my stateroom. The fifth day we sighted the shore line of England, and later that afternoon we docked to spend the next two days at Southhampton. 1 entrained to London to see my Foreign Branch Manager, Jakie Castrilla, about a misplaced order. As I neared his office 1 heard glasses clinking. I opened the door quicxly, and there sat Jakie with his feet on the desk and a cigar in his mouth. Two ladies, whom I recognized as Victoria Copple and Theresa Blank, were sorting a shipment of glassware. Tnat was a relief to me. “My deah fellow, do you have an appointment?” he demanded. I stared at him for a moment, and disgustedly turned and left. “My vacation will be for pleasure yet.” 1 told myself with determination. As I was crossing Salisbury Street, I barely missed being struck by a car. I turned to see who the reckless driver was. I quickly noticed that the lady at the wheel was June Lilly, who was working at Windsor Castle as one of the Queen’s hairdressers. On the following Sunday our boat sailed for France. Captain Smith and his first mate, Charles Tucker, informed me that we were were only allowed one day in France. Our liner, “The Class 40 ’, docked at Havre, and we tiaveled to Paris on the boat train. Arriving there, I left the crowd and headed for the embassy where my friend, the American Ambassador to France, Miss Elizabeth Crews, lived. “Lizzie” greeted me joyously, and I was invited to stay for dinner and a cocktail party. The dinner was delicious, but, no wonder, when the chef was Joe Main. About ten o’clock the guests began arriving for cocktails. I was tremendously surprised to see among them people with whom I was acquainted: Miss Eleanor Raines who was recently divorced from the burly wrestler, Tom Raynor; Mr. Jack Adamson, an expert in safe cracking, and his wife, the former Natalie Reid, whom I knew as the “I ady in Orchid.” Mrs. Adamson had been given this name because she had helped convict the criminals, Cyril Mallory and Steve Wassie, who had committed a crime in every state. Other guests included the Messrs. Robert Bishop and Clifford Cox, well known surrealists, who were escorting the Parisian hairdresser, Miss Jean 'Babbitt, and Miss Helen Zappitello. Miss Zappitello was well known as the inventor of a new rumba. She had presented a show each summer at the Sky Club in New York. The party ended at four o’clock in the morning. I managed to return to the ship just before it departed. Our next stop was Cairo, Egypt. I wanted to see the new Egyptian Queen. I was admitted to a room in the palace from which I could view her passing 'by. To me the Queen of Egypt looked very much like my old class mate, Anne Van Besien. Walking impatiently behind her, and looking like a “henpecked” king, trailed a person closely resembling Duane Coates. In the afternoon we took a trip to see the Sphinx and pyramids. We rode camels, and I found many of the travelers had never been on one before. A man particularly experienced in camel riding demonstrated to us the best method of procedure. He was introduced as Arthur Armeni, the wealthy owner of a camel caravan. Professor Lowell Johnston of the National Geographic Institute, showed us the interior of a pyramid. Our trip carried us through the Suez Canal and Red Sea. We stopped for a day in a port of Arabia where I saw a sheik. This sheik was quite rich, and had twelve wives. I asked myself, “How could even a sheik support twelve wives unless he were 58 THE TATTLER rich?” His name which corresponded with that of an American who had disappeared irom a ship hereaoouts, was John Anthony IX. We had just enteied tne .‘traoian fcea, when a terrific storm struck. The ship locked violently. 1 was attempting to walk to my stateroom wnen an object slid across tne aec aim sauck me in tne sioe. Alter i recovered irom my da j, i looked about to see what it was. Despite my pain I had to laugh when 1 lound it wa.s Miss kina iuominen. hne had been canying a custard to her m.stress, and wn..n tne wi. u struck, the custard covered her face. She rose without saying a word, and dashed for the stairway. My injuries proved serious enough to require an operation. The ship’s doctor happened to be Richard Miner, who had just rece.ved his Degree in Medicine and Surgery. The nurses, immaculate in their white uni.orms, were Josephine Palmer and Opal Smith. As the ether was taking enect, I thought what a lovely vacation this was. When I was able to leave my bed, we were nearing Australia. My nureses tucked me carefully in a deck chair in order that 1 might see the shore line. 1 glimpsed very little of it, for strolling leisurely by me was one passenger after another. Among those I recognized was Miss Madeline Ross, always accompanied by a large well-bred, white dog on a leash. Miss Ross had charge of the ‘ ritzy” dog shows oi Ne v Ifo.k. Another lady passed dressed in slacks and a fur coat. I thought she looked amil.ar. Oi course, it was Dorothy Patto. Two men tip-toed by. They were Miss Patto’s pr.va.e detectives, Ernest Robinson and Robert Marsh. A quiet sophisticated lady saunte.ed down the deck. I knew it was the famous drama tst, Zelma Guest. We docked for the week-end at Perth, Australia. 1, not i.nowing any one in Perth, decided to remain aboard ship during this period. Late Saturday nignt I was awakened by a great commotion. I opened my door, and alter listening, found the cause. It seemed that the Perth police had brought a gentleman and two ladies back to the boat, and prohibited them from leaving it. 1 could hardly blame the officers, because it isn’t within the law to fish in an aquarium. The following morning I was told that these violators were Keith Keidel and the Misses Tina Kapsanis and Betty Hayes. Our next scheduled port was the Hawaiian Islands. Here, it was rumored, a wedding or two of our tourists was to take place. We docked in Pearl Harbor late at night, and the following morning went ashore. As we neared the beach, Hawaiian ladies tossed rings of flowers at us. One of our group, Miss Eleanor Groger, a famous hostess, was allergic to flowers, and began sneezing violently. The wedding (whose, I didn't know) was to take place in a beautiful garden. The entire ship’s company was invited to attend. After I had dressed, I left for the scene where many guests had already arrived. Among them were Miss Kanerva Korhonen, a famous critic and author; Mr. Frank Kovacevic, captain of a tramp steamer; Misses Florence and Ruth Kitinoja, well known figure ice-skaters; Miss Ruth Fife, a society editor; and Miss Peggy Donnelly, a noted wealthy spinster. I met the minister, Edward King, who talked with me for a while about the advantages of life in Hawaii. Miss Shirley Bales, the organist, soon began to play the wedding march, then, after a breathless moment, the groom, John Sylvester, appeared. He stood at the altar waiting for his bride. Who could it be? Gracefully strolling down the path came Helen Dylong. My, she made a beautiful bride. After the marriage ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester left on a clipper bound for Japan. During that evening our party was entertained by a group of Hawaiians. Perhaps the best of the dancers was an American girl, the former Miss Betty Merrick. She and her husband, Francis Williams, had come to Hawaii several years before. One of our last mornings in Hawaii we went to the shore of the harbor to watch a clipper ship come in. When it halted at the dock, wre observed the passengers dis- THE TATTLER 59 embark. Those I knew were Miss Wanda Benedict, famous explorer; Messrs. Albert Colby and Don Campanelli, who were in charge oi the 4iegxeiu ironies, and had been searching for new loreign talent; and Mr. John Dewey, a toocnpick magnate. Our boat sailed ior America on the tollowing 'luesaay. mere was only one important occurrence on this last lap of our journey. On our third day out we noticed a small object bobbing around on the horizon. As we approacned it, we recognized a crude rart. Our crew witn the aid of ropes finally got tne occupants ox tne ra t aooaru sn.p, and Dr. Miner ordered them to bed. Naturally we were curious to know wno the starved, unshaven fellows were. Later we were iniormed that tney were Joe Leri and Roger Greggs whose fishing tug had capsized a few days before and leit them at the mercy of the waves. We arrived in San Francisco late at night, but none of the passengers left the boat until morning. Nearly all of our party remained in that city, but 1, still wondering about the stock market, wanted to leave immediately for Chicago. 1 purchased a ticket on the ‘‘City of San Francisco,” and got aboard. Several movies stars were on the train. I got autographs of America’s Romeo, Harold Briggs, also the comedian, Gracie Kovacs. Miss Linda Nyman and Mr. Arthur Niinisto, champions of the roller skates, and Jermaine Smith, the ski champ, were enroute to Sun Valley, Idaho. At Oakland we stopped for more passengers. I noticed Miss Jeanne Steel, a buyer for the Macy Company of New York, get on board the train. The next morning we arrived in Salt Lake City where Miss Sylvia Wirkkala, the supervisor of an orphans’ home, entered the car. Alter leaving Salt Lake City, I went into the “Little Augget Car” for breaklast. 1 saw Miss Helen DiBaggio, and sat down opposite her. Helen was a photographer for a famous studio. We ordered our breaklast, and as we were eating, Mr. Richard fortune, an Omaha joweier, joined us. As we were visiting, he pointed out a dude ranch owned by Miss Mary Mucci. Dick also said her ranch foremen, Norbert Moser and Henry Nastelin, had charge of the thousand head of cattle on the ranch. I learned that the cowboys had many arguments with Tony Mecci who owned a sheep farm next to the dude ranch. At eighty miles an hour the train sped through the Wyoming country side. I saw a farmer, whom I recognized as Charles Michaloski, impatiently trying to force a stubborn mule to get up. We finally arrived at Omaha, Nebraska, and the Omaho City Commissioners boalxled the train. I knew three of them: Mr. Leonard Novinski, Miss Clara Mooney, and Mr. Ray Marvin. At this station the Misses Florence Dyke, Mary Glogoski, and Juanita Hoskins, attractive models, entrained for Chicago. Mr. Vernon Childs, the owner of a chain of Child’s Drug Stores, was another Chicago-bound passenger. In the afternoon we arrived at Chicago where Misses Natalie Maenpaa and Helen Maukonen, co-owners of an exclusive women’s college, and their recently acquired teachers, Mr. Paul Wishon, teacher of English, and the Wagoner sisters, Joyce and Doris, specialists of physicial education, got off the train. I hailed a Red Cap who happened to be Bill Hazeltine, and had my luggage taken to my home. Before going home, I visited my office. The elevator boy, Robert Heckman, greeted me joyfully. My office staff was very much surprised to see me. I realized that by the condition of the office. Miss Patricia Jackson, my stenographer, quickly dropped her “Romantic Episode” into the waste basket. Some stranger who was sitting on the corner or her desk with one of my “Havanas” in his mouth, quickly picked up his hat and moved on. My office assistant, Milan Garrison, dropped and broke Mr. Miller’s airplane model. Later I was informed that the stranger on Miss Jackson’s desk was Harry Hahn, my largest buyer! About seven o’clock that same evening I boarded a street car, and started for 60 THE TATTLER home. I sat down in the car, and immediately two ladies, who gave their names as .Misses Elsie Miller and Theresa Paduano, pounced upon me. I was startled and tr.ed to calm down their tempers. It was impossible. A Mr. Robert Steele, the car conductor, demanded that 1 let the ladies sit there. 1 did, out when 1 arose, a terribly crushed hat lay in the seat. In disgust I got olf the str°et car and walked. 1 was stopped by a group of temperance people, Misses Jane Pryately, Jeanne Smith, and Mr. Robert Howard, who had seen the newspaper picture of Karl Perala climbing the chandelier of the boat, and me nearby laughing. 1 hurriedly apologized to the gioup and walked a.vay. Soon the former Alice Jean Slocum, Mary Elmer, and Helen Ritari, now housewives, stopped me. These ladies operate a riding stable in Oak Park. 1 told them a bit abou my trip, and then continued homeward. I arrived home late at night and - - - -What’s that noise? ‘‘Wake up, you’ve only hah an hour to get ready to go to school!” my father was calling. I arose and tried to dress. I thought to myself, “What if such ridiculous things as my boat trip dream should happen to the best class ever graduating from Con-neaut High?” The annual Senior Chestnut Hunt was held last October 2 at Camp Peet.
