£ JHihnib “All of us who give service, stand ready for sacrifice, are the torchbearers. We run with our torches until we fall, content if we can pass them to the hands of other runners.” —Theodore Roosevelt.

GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1944 The loss of wealth isl the loss of dirt As sages in all times assert The happy man’s without a shirt. —John Ileywood, about 1565 This is the poet s way of saying that happiness does not depend upon wealth or position but upon one’s self. Life will offer you a succession of choices. Every day you will have opportunities to choose the highest and best or that which is not so high nor so good. Your lives will he just what you choose to make them. ou are unfortunate to be Youth at a time when the world is passing through a great revolution. Nations are at war. The channels of communication are filled with propaganda. Prejudice, mistrust and hate are the order of the day. You have little chance to live normal lives as Youth and thus lay the foundations for happy adult lives. Later you will perhaps be referred to as “The Lost Generation of Youth”. Do not, however, lose courage in the face of the destructive forces rampant today, dramatic though they he, but cling steadfastly to the things that are “just and true and righteous altogether”. Keep an open mind. Do not he misled by propaganda. Find out the truth before making decisions and taking action. Trust people. Cultivate a feeling of good will toward everybody. Constantly seek opportunities to help others who are less fortunate than you are, and you will find happiness in life. I congratulate you upon the progress you have already made in wholesome living, upon the successful completion of the high school course and upon the rich opportunities for service that lie ahead of you. Sincerely, Norman Koontz VIRGIL R. HENRY Principal Grove City -College, B. S. University of Pittsburgh, M. of Ed. Year books arouse real interest in the students of a school, although they follow much the same plan from year to year. They represent a short history of the school’s activities and when read in after years, bring back many happy memories. The first year book was published in 1908. Harrison Hunt, now Biologist in the State Agricultural Department of Michigan, was Editor in Chief Carl Wilson a victim of the First World War, literary editor Frances Joslin, now Mrs. Ijee Thayer, Erie. Pennsylvania, comic editor Frank Thayer, now Professor of Journalism, University of Wisconsin, athletic editor Jessie Daniels, now Mrs. Claude Crouch,Alumni Editor Wade W. McCall.

Before bidding a final farewell to Conneaut High School, we wish to recall a few of the pleasant times we have had together, and to thank those who have helped make them possible—our class advisers. Normally a class has only two advisers, but due to the uncertainty of the times, we have had four counselors. When we entered Conneaut High in our Sophomore year, Miss Whipple and Mr. Auld were our directors. They helped organize us as a class and aided us greatly in sponsoring several parties during the year. At the close of the school year, Miss Whipple and Mr. Auld left the teaching staff for other positions. Miss Jewhurst and Mr. Koenig were appointed to serve as our counselors at the beginning of the Junior year. In cooperation with their efforts, we held some of the most successful social events of the school year, among them being the annual Junior-Senior Prom, which was hailed as a great success. Going into our Senior year, we had only one adviser, Miss Jewhurst. In onr last year we held the annual Chestnut Hunt, Senior-Sophomore Party, and Class Day. On the whole, however, we decided to be entertained rather than entertain. Now as we leave the classrooms and halls which we will remember and cherish, we wish to extend our deepest and sincerest gratitude to those above, our teachers, and the friends of the Class of ’44.

With only thirteen inexperienced boys reporting, Coach Lytle faced a difficult task in picking a team. Nevertheless, with daily practices and excellent cooperation Conneaut was ready to take her stand against any opponent. Conneaut’s Trojans displayed vaunted power and a definite scare to the Lake Shore League by trouncing Meadville’s Bulldogs, 20-2, at Municipal Stadium, Friday, September 18. Alliance’s Aviators, guided by our former mentor Mr. Hoppes, downed our Blue and White at Municipal Stadium, Friday, September 24. “Dutch’s” aerial bom-barment proved too great an obstacle for our boys to overcome, and resulted in a loss for Conneaut, 25-12. Opening the Lake Shore season against the Geneva Eagles, October 1, the Trojans were defeated 6-0. Geneva scored its only touchdown on a drive late in the fourth quarter. The following week a squad of Trojan men trekked to the lair of Ashtabula Harbor to combat the Mariners. Plenty of fight was shown by Conneaut in the first THIRTY TATTLER half; however, this could not stop the Mariners. Harbor pushed the pigskin into pay dirt four times and made three successful conversions. The game ended 27-7. In a driving rain Friday, October 15, the Conneaut team received a crushing defeat from its arch enemy, Ashtabula, 20-0. This game was the fifteenth annual classic between the traditional i-ivals. With more of the old do-or-die spirit Conneaut defeated the Geneva Eagles in the second encounter of the season. On this night of October 22 the local boys fought with great determination. Midway in the second quarter of the game a pass from Rockwell to Jarvi connected, and Conneaut avenged the 6-0 defeat handed her earlier in the season. In a torrent of rain Thursday, October 28, the Conneaut team was handed another crushing defeat by the Harbor Mariners, 2S-0. Seniors Tony White, Dick McLaughlin, Wilbur Chidester and Lyle Gaugh ended their football careers in a blaze of glory with the last game of the grid season, November 5. The Trojans, paced by Chuck Rockwell, plastered the Paines-ville’s Red Raiders goal line three times, to take the game 20-13. True, the Trojans did not swamp the Raiders with points, but they did overwhelm them with spirit and statistics. The school may well be proud of our showing during the season 1943. Thomas Ryan LETTERMEN At the close of the season, the football squad voted Tony White the honorary captain for the ’43 football season.

The Trojans played 16 games this season, winning seven and losing nine. This amassed 470 points to their opponents 524. Three lettermen returned from last year, and with a good reserve supply of power, Coach Lytle’s charges were set to do battle at the Lake View Gym. The first game came early in the season, December 11, with Albion on thedr floor. Our untried Trojans showed up a bit rough in their initial appearance, but late in this- game they settled down to nose out their opponents 29 to 23. The tables were turned, however, when they tangled with Painesville, the league champions. After staging a game but losing battle for three periods, our boys put on a last quarter comeback that fell short of the mark with the resulting score of 39 to 25. Cormeaut’s true form became evident with their first home game at the Lake View hardwoods. The Trojans were set up as a definite meance in the league race by walloping Harbor in the first league game. The game was close all the way, but the boys drove to a thrilling 33 to 27 victory. Baffled by Ashtabula’s man to man defense, the Trojans dropped their second league attempt by a 33 to 17 count. In the return tilt with Albion on their home court, the Men of Troy cleaned house by trouncing the Indians 34 to 21. Although the score was close at the half, Conneaut held the lead throughout the game, and with a final rally forged ahead to a victory. For a while it seemed to the Trojans faithful fans, that bad luck was really THIRTY-TWO TATTLER with us. First, Geneva gave us a going over by outscoring us 36 to 26. Not content with that, Lady Luck deserted us again so that we lost a heartbreaker to Erie Prep on thie latter’s floor, 32 to 30. A second half scoring spree by our fighting Trojans fell just one basket short, so on to the catastrophe which took place at Harbor. The Mariner’s triumph, 28 to 23, gave them their first league win of the year and avenged Conneaut’s victory in the first round. In our return gam; with ’Bula, the last of Conneaut’s “hard luck series,” a first quarter spree by the Panthers proved the team’s undoing, and they were snowed under, 32 to 20. Although on ,even terms for the remainder of the game, the enemy eager’s initial lead proved too great to overcome. With the Men of Troy back on the beam. history repeated itself in reverse when Conneaut snagged a thrilling victory on the home floor from Erie Prep. The 25 to 23 tally gave the boys sweet .evenge for their previous defeat on Prep’s hardwood. The game was closely contested all the way, but you couldn’t have stopped the boys with a steam roller that night. The following week the Trojan steam roller was out of steam (due to the coal shortage) with the obvious result. The Geneva Eagles broke loose and downed the battling Trojans 48 to 32. The Trojans ran up a ten point lead in the first quarter, but it was to no avail. A spirited West Springfield quintet downed the favored Trojans the following week with a surprise score of 49 to 30. The Conneaut boys were just off the beam and the Springfield cagisrs just couldn’t miss. Conneaut’s participation in the Class A tournament proved to be a definite success. Everyone, including Mentor, thought ths Trojans were just going along for the ride, but the boys clicked and drove to a thrilling 23-31 victory over the dazed Mentor-ites. A thrilling last minute mid-court shot proved Mentor’s undoing and sent the Trojans to the siecond round against Cleveland Heights on the following night. This time Conneaut came out on the short end of a 38 to 24 score, but it was a moral victory for the team. Everyone was more than satisfied with the players showing against this favored opponent. The Trojan’s next triumph came with a revenge victory over West Springfield. The score, 40 to 29, proved that our previous defeat by the Springfield cagers came on an off night. The last game of the season was played with the Finnish Five for the benefit of the Red Cross. The Trojans, in their greatest scoring feat of the season, ran the count to a 50 to 85 decision, and thus successfully closed the ’43-’44 season. Three Seniors, Bill Manniko, Dick Metcalf and Lyle Gaugh played their last game for the Blue and White this season. Their scoring abilities, teamwork, and favor with the fans indicated perhaps that this, their last year of basketball for Conneaut, was also their most successful. The lettermen for the ’43-’44 basketball season are: Bill Manniko Anthony Bartone Charles Rockwell Gene McIntosh Dick Metcalf Bob Benjamin James Dunn Dominic Iarocci Lyle Gaugh Bob Smith Viemon Jarvi Charles Phipps manager tattler THIRTY-THREE tiaclz WILLIAM B. LA PLACE Track was revived by popular demand this year after abandonment of the sport in 1943. There were only three returning letter-men from the 1942 squad. They were Richard Adamson, Richard McLaughlin, and James Walsh. The loss of Coach Robert (Red) Lytle to the Marine Corps at the beginning of the track season was a severe blow to the aspirations of the tracksters. Once again track was a question in the minds of all. However, Mr. Sayre came to the rescue and volunteered to supervise the squad. His associates were Mr. Raymond Smith and Mr. Jay Keidiel. Mr. Lytle had been head coach here since the fall of 1942. He was assistant to Joe Leson prior to Mr. Leson’s entry into the army. At that time Mr. Lytlie assumed full coaching duties for both football and basketball. He was grooming the 1944 track team at the time of his departure for the Marine Corps. Mr. Lytle played center on the football team while at Edinbo.ro College. Following ‘his graduation, he was head basketball coach and assistant football coach at Bessemer, Pennsylvania. He came to Conneaut from Bessemer. In their first track meet of the 1944 campaign, the Blue and White trackmen were downed at the hands of the Ashtabula Panthers by a 70 to 48 score. Although on the low end of the final score, the Trojans showed great promise. Scene of the meet was in Ashtabula. Vem Jarvi starred for the vanquished as he placed in all four of his specialties. He took top honors in the quarter mile. Three other first places were awarded to the Men of Troy. Wilbur Ohidester clinched the 120-yard high hurdles with a 18.7 second performance. Bob Smith put the shot 41 feat to add another first for Conneaut. The remaining first place was won by an all-Junior quartet who triumphed in the 880-yard relay with a time of one minute, 43.5 seconds. This foursome was composed of Jarvi, Rockwell, Stolson, and Leavery. Stolson was the only Conneaut casualty of the meet. Although his foot was painfully cut as he received the baton, he ran his lap of the 880-yard relay in superb fashion before retiring from action. On Monday, May 1, the Conneaut thinclads dropped a 88 to 29 decision to a strong Harbor squad. The Mariners captured 12 first places, leaving only 2 for the Trojans. One of Conneaut’s firsts was registered by Bob Smith who hurled the discus 121 feet 2 inches, the other was an excellent 54.6 second triumph by Vern Jarvi in the 440-yard dash. Smith led the Blue and White trackmen with an 11 point total for the afternoon. The Trojans notched their first victory in three stars on May 4th by trouncing the Rowe Vikingss 79 to 21 at Conneaut’s Municipal Stadium. First places in all events, with the exception of the high jump, went to the home squad. Once again Smith was high point man, this time with 16 points. In the Eastern Division eliminations for track and field events, which took place at Ashtabula Hai'bor on May 9th and 10th, Conneaut gained 10 places for the all-League meet on the 12th. The Lake Shore League Meet was also held at Harbor’s Wenner Field. All eight teams of the League were represented. Ashtabula edged Mentor who in turn edged Harbor. Their respective scores were 49 1-2, 48, and 46 1-2. Willoughby was fourth with 32 1-2, followed by Conneaut with 18 1-2. Fairport and Geneva tied for sixth with ten points apiece. Painesville ended up in last place with 9. Bill Edwards of Mentor was the only participant to break a record. He threw the discus 148 feet six inches to better the old mark set by Dellerba of Ashtabula by 9 feet 2 inches. Bob Smith took thirds in the discus and half-mile and a fourth in the shot for an 8 point total. Jarvi gained 5 points with his second in the 440 and fifth in the shot. Wilbur Chidester took third in the high hurdles, and Dick Adamson was in a four-way tie for third in the pole vault. The remaining Conneaut marker came as a result of a fifth in the mile relay.

The gym season was dhided into major and minor sports. Among the major being basketball, volleyball, and softball, while the minor sports included tumbling, dancing, and individual contests. For their project of the year the group presented an assembly program which consisted of tumbling and the building of pyramids. The program was well performed and very capably directed. The girls who participated in this program were as follows: Patricia Morton, Lenora Fifer, Eleanor Blazek, Mary Lou Olson, Jean Ann Smith, Hazel Wetmore, Rachael Ahlberg, Barbara Arp, Jean Matthews, Peggy Har-lacher, Betty Weaver, Barbara Hall, Joyce Lamont, Mary Jane DePlacida, Mary Dun-nington, Patricia Middleton, and Betty Augers.

One never knew who was going to win out. Virginia Peffer, Mary Lou Benson, Mary Anne Mosher, and Mary Ellen McLaughlin made a fine foursome as majorettes with their strutting and twirling. At the Alliance game, the band went back a few years and performed with an old-fashioned square dance. For the Geneva game, four colored “Dixie” minstrel comedians offered antics. The skies cleared in the middle of the Painesville game and the band made their appearance in honor of the Army, Navy, Marines, Waves, and Wacs. “Pistol Packin’ Mamma”, enacted by Majorette Peffer, ended the band’s marching season as far as football was concerned. They still had marching ahead though, for the Army came to town and stayed over night. I don’t think any of the band members will forget the parade for the Army. They marched slowly for a mile and a half and then stood in formation for the complete program at the stadium. The band played for an assembly just before Christmas. The group also presented a program for the Senior MacDowll at Conneaut Junior High School in January. The concert season, however, officially opened in January at Lake View School which was the first of a series of three concerts. In March, the second concert was held at Kilpi Hall. The third in the series was held at Conneaut Senior High School. The big event of the year took place in May. At that time the band traveled to Ashtabula Harbor to play in a mass band concert. Five bands participated; Jefferson, Ashtabula, Ashtabula Harbor, Edgewood and Conneaut. A practice was held on Saturday afternoon, followed by a dance in the evening. The concert took place Sunday afternoon. FORTY TATTLER ORCHESTRA The Conneaut High School Orchestra, under the direction of Howard Pardee, has shown exceptional skill this season. This group gave short concerts at two assemblies early in the school year and, in collaboration with the Junior High Orchestra, entertained the audience during intermissions at the Senior Play. The orchestra played also at the lecture of Dr. Polgar, and a few members joined with the Junior High Orchestra to furnish music for the Ninth Grade Play. This group tends to act as an accompaniment to school social events and does not usually present public concerts. The orchestra is completely independent of the band except for the instructor, thus, a band member does not necessarily belong to the orchestra. The A Cappella Choir has become one of the high school’s major activities, ever since its organization four years ago by Mr. Kaarlo Mackey. After serving as instructor for two years, Mr. Mackey entered the armed forces of our nation. Last year Miss Helen Dickey supervised the choir and operetta. The school was extremely fortunate in finding an instructor as capable and as well qualified as Miss Florene Marlatt for the fourth year of choir direction. This year the A Cappella Choir has turned more to the religious type of song and has performed at several assemblies and social functions. Although neither an operetta nor a concert were presented this year due to Miss Marlatt s illness, the group sang excellently at all times. This year, as in past years, the choir has developed another first-rate soloist; this time she is a soprano, by name, Louise Narducci.

If this is true, Conneaut was at the top because our majorettes excelled others in their field with graceful performances. This group learned the fundamentals of twirling during their summer vacation seasons. Not only must a majorette have natural ability, but she must also be a band member in good standing. This year closes two seasons of directing for head majorette Virginia Peffer, a Senior. Both, Senior Mary Anna Mosher and Sophomore Mary Ellen McLaughlin completed their first years of successful twirling. The veteran of the four is Mary Lou Benson, a Junior, who brings to an end three years of marching. The majorettes have become a fixture in the hearts of the school and football fans.

The cast, in scoring an immediate success with their portrayal of terror and chills, played before capacity audiences both nights. The success of the play was largely due to the guidance and untiring effort of Miss Peck, the director. Bach member of the cast played his part exceptionally well, and to praisie some would be to slight others; Dorothy Karhn, as the reserved yousg house maid of the Ford family, was later revealed as one of the villains. MaryAnna Mosher played the part of a supernatural-believing heir of the Ford family with Robert Loomis as her husband, an inventor, whose secret plans for an airplane add to the plot. The superstitious, elderly aunt of the Ford family, whose notorious ancestor built the house, was portrayed by Virginia Campbell. Jane Duffett and Richard McLaughlin provided the humorous side of the theme as a fear-stricken couple caught in a whirlwind of events. Joyce Hewlett acted as the Norwegion cook, awkward in speech and manner. Virginia Peffer played the part of Maxwell William’s wealthy mother. Richard Miltner was the supposed uncle of Sandra. James Walsh and Robert Gifford provided a plot of their own as the detective and the escaped convict respectively. Barbara Gilbert helped to clear up the mystery, when her identity was revealed. Those who added greatly to the success of the play, but who were not seen on the stage, were: Marjorie Shultis- as the student director, Tom Ryan as property manager, Alfred Hoel in charge of the sound effects, and Norman Hazen and Eugene C Coney as stage managers. STAMPS AND BONDS For the past two years, Sharley Brokaw has helped to win this war by spurring on the sale of stamps and bonds. Each day a period is designated for the students to purchase their shares of “liberty” from her. All money for bonds is taken to the bank where the bonds are made out. The Senior High has gone all out to help win this war. Sharley deserves credit for handling this work for such a long period and so capably. The total for the year up to March first was $13,260. The Fourth War Loan drive netted $8,794. The Seniors led the sales with $5,520, but Room 27 had the best rate per capita with $118.30. We all know this money will hasten the day of victory which will bring our boys home. TATTLER FORTY-FIVE CIIE12R MCA DISKS Row 1 (left to right)—Richard Miltner, Thomas Ryan.

The cheerleaders are a group of students who have organized for the purpose of boosting the morale and spirit of the school, as well as the players from both the football and basketball squads. These students, who banded together under their own initiative without a faculty adviser, have contributed greatly to the success of our teams. The two students who have sparked the group are Tom Ryan and Delores Mascik. Very capable assistance was given them by Dick Miltner, Lois Barringer, and Joan Lovell. Through their efforts the school was able to cheer our teams at every contest throughout the year. FORTY-SIX TATTLER cJiOSKVl Society •Conneaut High School is a member of the long-established National Honor Society which is composed of the students of the Junior and Senior classes who have attained the highest scholastic averages. The officers for this year were: Robert Loomis, President; Mary Anna Mosher, Vice-President; William Manniko, Secretary; and Marjorie Shultis, Treasurer. Miss Ballou is the able faculty adviser for the group. The Honor Society sponsored several all school social events during the year, among which were dances after two football games and a St. Patrick’s Day dance. A banquet was held on February 9 as a welcoming gesture to the new members entering the society at that time. For the first time, the Honor Society financed wholly the purchase of their club pins.

Although no journalism class was ir. session this season, the paper was published in semester issues under the guidance of Mr. Henry. Each semester a completely new staff was organized for the publication of The Tattler. The original plan of the school paper was to give an account of the important events which took place during each semester. The Tattler staff wishes to extend thanks to all contributors, the advertisers, the students, and all the teachers who kindly cooperated with them during the school year. FORTY-EIGHT TATTLER attlesi The Annual The purpose of the annual is to record the events, mainly those of the Seniors, of fch e preceding year. The various departments prepared the material, while the editorial staff edited and planned the book. The annual was staffed entirely by the Seniors, and due to present wartime conditions no faculty advisor was available. The students used the years books of the past years as well as annuals from other schools for reference. The project started early in January and continued until the end of the school jfcar. The staff is listed on page four. The entire student body wishes to thank Mr. Sheehan and the faculty for their assistance in helping the Seniors to compile and publish the yearbook.

During each period of the day two different girls work in the principal's office. These workers must stand high in their scholastic rating and must have satisfactory citizenship traits. The office helpers do secretarial work, compute averages, run errands, and do other smaller tasks. These student secretaries have proven competent and would be an asset to any office staff. The girls deserve credit for doing their work so satisfactorily. FIFTY TATTLER The library staff has done an especially fine pob this year in preparing material for the teachers and students. Mis Leet deserves much credit for helping the students in selecting their books and for her valuable and indispensable aid in their research work.

The affair was then known as “kid day”. Unlike many of the preceding Senior classes, we had a beautiful day. All the Seniors were dressed in old clothes and were ready for a full day. They got it! Plans had been made the day before for trails which served as a scavenger hunt. These trails led us up banks, in mud up to our necks, through brush, and into the creek. Football, soccer, baseball, and wading in the creek were the chief diversions of the day. Practically everyone had his picture take in some peculiar pose, such as is done in the movies. At noon, all the teachers joined the class at the mess hall where all dined in fitting manner. All the foods, which were contributed toward the tureen dinner by the Senior students, tasted delicious. We all felt kind of lazy after dinner, so, many of the students relaxed and sang songs, told tall tales, or snapped pictures. Dancing was provided in the mess hall by records. Every Senior will remember the Chestnut Hunt as a gay, frivolous affair in spite of the war clouds which hung overhead. The day ended as automobiles slowly deserted Camp Peet for civilization and home. SENIOR-SOPHOMORE PARTY Although coming a little late in the season, the Seniors welcomed the Sophomores at the annual Senior-iSophomore party on November 12. The evening started off with the guests’ initiation. The girls appeared without make-up, with their clothes on backwards, with socks of different colors, and with their hair in pigtails. The boys offered a still more humorous aspect to the gathering by wearing cosmetics, bandanas, and their pants rolled up with skirts over them. While the “youngsters” were on a treasure hunt which took place within the school building, the Seniors were in the auditorium singing. The “cookies” were then taken to the auditorium where further initiation took place. The initiation provided plenty of laughs and embarassment for all. After the program, the students gathered in the gym where dancing provided the entertainment for the balance of the evening. Refreshments were served later in the evening by the hosts. FIFTY-TWO TATTLER GIgM Poem JIM WALSH Out through the portals of Couueaut High Ninety-three Seniors pass with a sigh. Never again to parade through the halls, Nor to toil through the springs and winters and falls. Some will advance to high branches of learning; Others for action in service are yearning; Others will follow some chosen profession, But no one will act without using discretion. Girls may be nurses or welders or WAGS: Boys may be marching with, kits on their backs, Or working in war-plants, or sailing the sea, All striving together to keep our land free. We all have a duty, and do it we must, For in us our country has vested its trust. At some future date, when we’ve all passed the test, We’ll all settle down to the job we like best. But all of us, whether we’re distant or nigh, Will cherish fond mem’ries of Conneaut High; And though some shall drift to far-away parts, Old Conneaut High will remain in our hearts. FIFTY-FOUR TATTLER GlcM JliitoJui THOMAS RYAN . . . WE, THE CLASS OF 1944 “The heights by great men, reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Wtcre toiling upward in the night.” We are the spirit, the life blood that flows through the halls of Conneaut High. We are the minds and persons who will soon march, capped and gowned, across the stage to receive our diplomas. We are the youngsters who entered to learn in 1941, and who, in 1944, when our country needs us most, go forth to serve. As a fitting climax to our glorious school careers, it is my endeavor to reminisce and present a brief bounding abridgment. Little did we realize, we youngsters who entered the portals of various schools over the city in the fall of 1932, that twelve years from then we would be dubbed the Seniors of ’44, and would graduate in the spring of that same year. It was with fear, excitement, anticipation and wonder, that we took our pices in the first grade classrooms It was in the nine grades where we learned: No gum chewing in classes and no running to “Mommie” with each bumped knee or scratched finger. Henceforth we were to be men and women, and men and women we have been ever since. In Junior High we became better acquainted and were exposed to a glorious contagion of unity—156 strong. It was there that we became better fitted to enter into the last phase of our scholastic training On the second day of September, 1941, in the presence of accustomed Seniors and getting-aequainted-Juniors, 147 wide-eyed, gawking specimens of humanity, known to the educational world as Sophomores, huddled together and were proud to call themselves the Class of 1944. But to the eyes of the upper classmen we were the greenest of the green. However, our loyalty to the faculty and upper classmen was soon recognized. The first stop on our social juggernaut of the Cookie Special was the annual Senior-Sophomore party held in the gym on October 7, 1941, where we were initiated and became a part of our high school. Those whom we chose to lead us during our Sophomore campaign were William Manniko, Alfred iHoel, Joseph Shirkman and Raymond Perala. Never let a word be uttei-ed to the effect that our class was not sports-minded, for we placed three boys on the football squad. Anthony White was the only sophomore to receive a “C.” On the basketball court we had William Manniko, Raymond Perala, Lyle Gaugh, Richard Hazeltine, Herman Rose, Richard Metcalf and Howard Marvin to represent us. The track team consisted of James Walsh, Anthony White, Richard Adamson, George Smith, Thomas Hayes, Herman Rose and Richard McLaughlin. The band had in its membership seven of our class mates. Speaking of strains of music, our class also placed six in the A Cappella Choir. As socialites we ended our Sophomore year at a party honoring the Irish, on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1942. The last long, dark tunnel through which the Cookie Special groped its way was Scholarship End. Taking part in the Kent tests were Robert Loomis, Elizabeth Ruffin, Marjorie Shultis, James Walsh, Jane Duffett, Alfred Hoel, William La Place, Charles Phipps, William Manniko and Barbara Gilbert. Day arrived! The dream of all cookies had come ti-ue: We were now Juniors, composing a new chapter in our lives. By petition and ballot, we again appointed William Manniko, Class President; TATTLER FIFTY-FIVE Alfred Hoel, Vice President; Elizabeth Ruffin, Secretary; and Anthony White, Treasurer. In the field of sports we once more scored on the athletic program with letters being awarded to Anthony White, George Smith, Richard McLaughlin, Wilbur Chid-ester and Archie Trizna. William Manniko and Richard Metcalf won letters for basketball. All parties sponsored by the Junior Class were enjoyable affairs. Spring came and with it the annual whirl and frills of the Junior-Senior Prom which we sponsored on May 14, with the Paramount Club Orchestra furnishing the strains of music. And so the Juniors, at midstream .in their high school careers, closed the ’42-43 school year, fighting their way to success and ranking high in honor, athletics and service. SENIORS! people, SENIORS! First in study, first in sports, and last, but not least, first in the hearts of the faculty. Pursuing the plan of democracy, a tiny army—ninety-six strong—went to the polls on the last of September to again elect William Manniko, President for the fourth year in succession. Such an honor never before in the history of Conneaut High School, had been accorded anyone. Great men make history! Alfred Hoel was elected Vice President; Marjorie Shultis was given the position of Secretary of the privileged class; and Anthony White was awarded the task of handling our filthy lucre. iNone of us shall ever forget the fun and frolic that we Seniors enjoyed on the annual Chestnut Hunt. As usual the some old chestnutty story of somebody’s having found a hypothetical chestnut was heard, but the traditional very real aches and pains were shared by all the following day. On November 112, we the Seniors entertained this year's New Recruits . . . Sophomores at the annual Senior-Sophomore party held in the gym. Athletics this year ranked high for all of us Seniors. Although we didn’t bring any trophies back home, we shall leave a sph'it that will not be forgotten for a long time. This year’s varsity football team included only four members of the senior class, Anthony White, Richard McLaughlin, Wilbur Chidester and Lyle Gaugh. Members of the audience were thrilled and tense with excitement when they witnessed the Senior Play, held on December 9 and 10. The Seniors stepped forward —dramatically—and produced this year, “The Mountain House Mystery,” under the direction of Miss Peck. Those having parts were Dorothy Karhn, Joyce Hewlett, Jane Duffett, Richard McLaughlin, Robert Loomis, Mary Anna Mosher, Virginia Campbell, Richard iMiltner, Virginia Peffer, James Walsh, Robert Gifford and Barbara Gilbert. Marjorie Shultis, Alfred Hoel and Thomas Ryan served as student manager, sound-effects man and stage manager respectively. Like all other affairs are classified, “the last the best of all” so we can say about the Trojan cagers this year. Seniors who took part were William Manniko, Lyle Gaugh and Dick Metcalf. Charles Phipps proved to be an excellent manager for Coach Lytle and his quintet. The pride and glory of all Senior Girls, the Senior Girls’ Banquet was held on February 21 at the Methodist Church with Marjorie Shultis acting as toast-mistress. Dorothy Dick was Senior speaker, and practically every senior girl did faithful work on some committee for the gala affair. The Class of ’44 also felt the sinews of war. How proud she can feel of those fellows of hers, who, when the call to arms came, laid down their pencils and replaced them with those weapons that are preserving for us this great nation. The A Cappella Choir under the direction of Miss Marlatt performed before full house in its many concerts. Seniors who were in this organization are Rita Lewis, Mary Anna Mosher, Barbara Gilbert, Louise Narducci, Arlene Aldrich, Mary Ann Delanty, Jane Duffett, Virginia Campbell, Virginia Peffer, Richard Adamson, Rob- FIFTY-SIX TATTLER ert Brewster, Alfred Hoel, Robert Loomis, Richard Miltner, Richard McLaughlin, Dorothy Karhn and Thomas Ryan. With Martial Air and Symphonies, Conneaut High School’s sixty-five-piece marching band proved sensational during another year on the football field and at its concerts as well, under the capable direction of Mr. Pardee. The Seniors in this Attention!— Forward March! organization are Arlene Aldrich, Virginia Peffer, Virginia Campbell, Mary Anna Mosher, Barbara Gilbert, Herbert Bushey, Bruce Holcomb, Wilbur Chidester and Karl Haapanen. One of the most important honors which can be bestowed upon a Senior is membership in the National Honor Society. Those who wear the keystone with a flaming torch under the guidance of Miss Ballou are Marjorie Shultis, Mary Anna Mosher, William Manniko, Robert Loomis, William La Place, Mildred Laughlin, Charles Phipps, Alice Tuttle, Richard McLaughlin, Zetta Oakes, Alfred Hoel, Virginia Peffer, Bruce Holcomb, Jean Ann Benjamin, Donald Redman, Sharley Brokaw, Virginia Campbell, Barbara Gilbert, Dorothy Karhn, Nora Mae Simons, Marian Maki and Jane Duffett. Once again that glorious month of May came, and with it the second year that we might attend the Junior-Senior Prom. But this year we were in the gentlemen class—guests, with our beautifully clad dates. Our class like all other institutions had its commuters, people who are able to enjoy life in the country, but come into the city day after day to carry on their schooling. A few of these are Nora Mae Simons, Philip Reger, Alice Tuttle, John Soltis, Donna Mae Clark, Louis Schlaich, Cyril Holcomb, Evelyn Johnson and Francis Anderson. Our class now goes forth into the world—we end our duties as students at Conneaut High School. How well we realize that we could not gather together now, as graduation nears, and review all these glorious trials, tribulations and experiences without the guidance of Mr. Koontz, the leadership of Mr. Henry, and ever helpful advice of our faculty members. Yes, there is something Big going on. It’s another one of those things that has gone by. One of those things that make the Sophomores a lot older, changes Juniors to the privileged class, and sends the Seniors out to get better acquainted with Uncle Sam. That something seems very Big. almost bigger than we are. Yet the graduation class of ’44 is going out into the mixed-up world, ready and well-prepared to do “something about it.” TATTLER FIFTY-SEVEN GlaU Will AL NOEL To Whom It May Concern: We, the Seniors of Conneaut High School, located in the City of Conneaut, in the state of Ohio, being of sound body and more or less sane mind do hereby make, declare an 1 publish our last will and testament.

PHIPPS The large banner above the speaker’s table read, “Welcome Grads of ’44”. This famous class was now holding its first reunion since leaving the sacred halls of Con-neaut High, fifteen years ago. Philip (Reger, the proprietor of the hotel, “The Waldorf-Bushnell,” came over to where I was sitting and we talked about the good ol’ days. I was the first one there, but Phil said they were not going to start serving until everybody had arrived. I noticed on the menu that the noted French chef Mme. Mary Ann Delanty was going to prepare her exquisite dish—hash! The ballroom was rapidly filling with guests. Some of the faces were familiar to me, and yet others I couldn’t remember at all. “Say Phil, isn’t that Richard McLaughlin over there? What’s he doing now?” “Oh, he’s STILL ’head of the police.” “Is Mac the chief of police?” “No, he hasn’t anything to do with the police force.” Glancing around the ballroom, I saw several persons dressed in the regalia of the West. On asking Phil if perhaps they had not come to the wrong place, he replied that they were Evelyn DeMarco and Marian Maki, the heads of a large ranch out West, and that the other three standing nearby were Lois Jane DeVore, Twila Borowsky, and Rose Mucciarone. They work on the ranch as cowhands. I noticed a small gathering across the mall, which was growing quite rapidly. As I made my way towai-d them, I heard a voice cry out behind me. Turning around, I saw Bill LaPlace. “What are you doing now, Bill?” “Oh, I’m running a home for weary capitalists.” I looked at him in surprise and- he replied rather sheepishly, “Well, they enter capitalists.” “What’s all the excitement over there?” I asked looking towards the gathering. “Why that’s Dick Metcalf, the famous explorer, who, just recently, narrowly escaped from the treacherous wastes and bear-traps of Main Street in rescuing George Wojtowicz from that Amazon leader, Mildred Burwell, and her two deputies, Shirley Carlson and Irene iCastrilla. Dick was telling how he is on the trail of and plans to track down the school elevator, which was last seen going up with Richard Hazeltine at the controls.” As we walked back to my table, I noticed Ray Perala, the millionaire banker, and his lawyer, Dean Dickinson, talking together in a corner. Ray has declared bankruptcy and U. S. Supreme Court Judge John Soltis is demanding an investigation. Robert Brewster, the movie producer, was selling tickets to his latest hit, “Slipped on The Rhine,” starring Viola Lane. Wo ducked behind a fern so he wouldn’t see us, and cautiously made our way back to our table. As we reached our table, my attention was called to a large lady entering the ballroom followed by several butlers and attendants. I soon recognized her as Shirley Lee, the head of the social register who has just rewritten the book of etiquette. A man is not safe anywhere now. Many of the names were coming back to me now. There’s Richard Meinke, who has astounded the world with his latest invention, a combination toothpick and match stick. Dick gave much of the credit for the invention to Dr. W. R. Donovan, his old physics teacher. I noticed three husky men sitting with a young woman. On looking again, I saw it was those threw? football stars, Carl Antin, Cyril Holcomb, and Harry Church, who play for the Alaskan Acorns and their coach, Patsy Hyde. I remembered reading the other night where the team is in second place of the Big Two. A rather tall, dignified man was appi-oaching us, but strange, he wore glasses TATTLER SIXTY-ONE with no lens in them. Why, of course, it was Jim Walsh that manufacturer of “Dr. Walsh’s Pink Pills with vitamin Bl’ Jim told me that Dolores Christopher, the renowned artist, was painting the pills for him and that Eugene Correy held the bottles while Joan Reno stamped the labels on. “Jim, I’ve heard that Dick Adamson and Dick Miltner have opened up a joint drug store.” “That’s right, a joint.” LaPlace then spoke up, “Tony White is president of the stock exchange.” “Yes, I know,” said Jim, “and it was just the other day that Tony was telling me how he got his start as treasurer of the Senior Class.” “Is that so,” I said, “gee, he did good after starting with such a handicap. There’s Rita Lewis and Barbara Davis, I see whs re they’re running an escort bureau.” “Yes, but it’s a little different from the others,” added Jim, they pay you five dollars per date.” The dinner was then served, the ballroom settled down, and the program began. The music was furnished by Barbara Gilbert’s dance band, “The sweetest music that side of Bock’s”, with Louise Narducci as the vocalist. A trio, consisting of Betty Hall, Frances Moroski, and Anna Castrilla, from Elizabeth Ruffin’s Broadway hit, “Ten Mornings in an Ice Cream Parlor, presented a few numbers. Russell Williams, the latest sensation over the airwaves as the crooningest crooner of all times, then presented a few solos. Following the program, after-dinner speeches were given. Dorothy Karhn and Jane Duffet, who are running against each other for Congress, each gave a long boring talk. From what I heard, you lose either way. Bill Manniko, the great politician, was called on next. I noticed everybody settling back in their chairs and Walsh leaned over and told me that (Bill will deliver the most hectic speech you ever heard on the drop of a hat. While Bill was still going strong, my eye roamed across the room, where I saw Karl Haapanen, the rearestadmira] on the U. S. S. Pat Simpson, named in honor of that lady lecturer who was last seen teaching Latin to the cannibals. Joyce Hewlett has struck it rich on a farm selling h. .y to Arlene Aldrich’s “Shredded Hay Biscuit” breakfast cereal company. Zetta Oakes and Rita Pounds claim the title of the most successful partnership. Zetta, the mad surgeon, providing material for Rita’s funeral parlor. Glancing at the table, I noticed that somebody had just placed a newspaper there. Taking up the paper, I saw it was called, “The Lonely Heart”, edited by Mildred Laughlin and featuring a lovelorn column by Dorothy Dick. There on the front page in bold letters it told of Tom Ryan’s night club, “Club 22”, being raided by Bob Loomis, the D. A., and Joe Shirkman, the chief of police. On turning the pages, I found out that Marilyn Snyder is the ghost writer for Virginia Campbell’s super-thrilling radio program, “Monroe After Dark.” Virginia Peffer and Marjorie Shultis are the heads of a famous state institution. This paper was quite interesting, on the following pages it told how Mary Tompkins risks death every day as a test pilot for Ella Jean Palmer s scooter factory. Under book review, I saw where Nora Mae Simons and Alice Tuttle have completed another bestseller, “Comforting Speeches for Every Disaster.” On the back page was a full page ad for Shirley Coates’ garment company, “Coats for every occasion.” Bill’s speech was over by now, and the guests were moving about from table to to table greeting old acquaintances. I noticed one particularly gay table, and on inquiry I found out that they were Josephine Castrilla, Eleanor Jarvi, and Dorothy Sylvester, the trustees of the Conneaut Museum. Also at the table were Ruth Pennell, the curator, and Thelma English who roams the world in search of material. Jean Ann (Benjamin and Sharley Brokaw, the heads of the Sluggers A. C. were talking with Zola Page, the lady wrestler. Lois Sweet was telling Donna Clark, the head nurse at the Victoria Kaczorowski Day Nursery, how she reads tea leaves at Evelyn Johnson’s Social Shoppe. Herbert Bushoy and George Smith, the big shyster lawyers are working on a big case—of coke. SIXTY-TWO TATTLER “What’s Wilbur 'Chidester doing,” asked Walsh, “walking around with his pants rolled up?” “Oh, he’s modeling socks for John Casey’s haberdashery. Say, there’s A1 Hoel with the rest of the gang, let’s go over and say hello to them.” After greetings had been exchanged, I asked A1 what he was doing now. “I’m president of the B. O. Halitoses Railroad,” he replied. “But he STILL watches trucks go by,” added Mac. Mouse then said that Mary Anna Mosher is head of the Amboy Zoo, and Maynard Hewit, Conneaut’s coroner has his offices on the 99th floor of Conneaut’s new morgue. A1 added that Don Redman, the architect for the building, has made a fortune. Bob Gifford is trying to bring back boogie-woogie. Edward Zappitelli, the mayor of Con-neaut, has defied the orders of his paity boss, Louis Schlaich, and refuses to dismiss Jennie Arcaro as head of the Health Department. While standing there, I noticed Bruce Holcomb, the conductor of a symphony orchestra—it is sponsored solely by charity, talking with Lyle Gaugh, the leader of a men’s suffrage party, and Francis Anderson, who beats the drum for Lyle. Lyle wants the pants given back to the men. By now the guests were beginning to leave the ballroom. As I left the hall, I realized that I had met or heard about every member of the class of ’44. Though we are small in number, we are great in deeds and I was proud to be a member of The Class of ’44. ) TRACK Continued from Page 34 Following is a list of the individual records for Conmaut: 100-yard dash—Roland Capela, 1934, dual meet with Geneva, 10.3 seconds. 220-yaird dash—Ralph Wagoner, 1908, Ashtabula County Track and Field Meet, 23 seconds. 440-yard dash—Jack McConnell, 1934, Lake Shore Meet, 51.2 seconds. 880-yard dash—Ivan Maenpaa, 1932, Lake Shore Meet, 2 minutes 8.9 seconds.
