O) ‘His heart was as big as the world, yet there was room for not one single wrong.”—Emerson. Dedication The 1946 class of Conneaut High School humbly pays its final tribute to a devoted friend and classmate. Pasqual De Placido, whose death occurred suddenly on January 25. 1946. As a student, Pasqual was outstanding, overcoming many obstacles and constantly striving for the best. As a friend be was generous and kind. His clean character and friendly nature endeared him to all who knew him best. To honor the memory of this departed friend we dedicate the 1946 edition of the “Tattler.” (8) Administration (9) Board of Education Mr. John F. Walsh, President Mrs. Allies 1).

Ohio State University, Post Graduate To the Class of 1946: A new and strange word has been born in the writing of Mr. Frank C. Laubach. Its growth has been rapid; its message has and will affect the lives of millions of people. This new word is CIHU (Kyhoo), meaning, “CAN I HELP YOU? ’ You, the graduates of 1946, and those who follow you, will determine whether or not your children shall give their lives to protect and defend our country and our way of life twenty-five or thirty years hence. The Hague court, The League of Nations, The Kellopp-Briand Treaty outlawed war, but war outlawed all of these well built structures. Today we are trying all over again with The Four Freedoms, The U. N. O., and others which will follow. These will succeed only as their foundations are solid. The efforts of 1918-40 failed because any structure will crumble if it is built on sand. The essence of CIHU was neither known nor practiced as evidenced by scarred relationships within homes and communities, within nations and between nations over problems of races, classes, religions and economic systems. These issues are still before us, and they will continue to haunt our happiness, safety and well-being until we constructively and cooperatively do something about it. Jesus said, “Love One Another.” This is but another way of saying, CIHU (Can I Help You?). If all of us were to adopt this as a basic principle of our lives there would be no need for Courts of Human Relations, a U. N. O., or a World Court. Truly a miracle would be wrought in our midst. But it must begin in the minds and hearts of each one of us. There it can be born, and there it can grow. Members of the class of 1946, “Love One Another.” Approach all people with “CIHU.” It’s a magic key to a better world and to your unlimited future. Expectantly yours (ID VIRGIL R. HENRY Principal Senior High School Grove City College, B. S. University of Pittsburgh, M. of Ed. Much is being said about the lack of preparation and poor qualifications of boys returning from the armed forces and entering college. Because of deficiencies in their previous education, they are doomed to disappointment and discouragement in academic work. They should receive council from persons qualified to advise and guide them into the type of school for which their ability best fits them. High school students, seventeen years of age or older, who leave high school to enter the armed forces make a serious mistake. The argument used that they will get their obligation to the army satisfied and then finish school is open to grave doubt. They will find pursuing a high school course after two or three years of absence is doubly difficult, and in many cases will never complete the work. Too frequently young people get the idea that having expenses paid guarantees a college education. They fail to realize the hours and years of work required to complete any worthwhile course. This should not discourage but rather act as a challenge to the young men and women who seek an education. (12) Faculty Clara B. Leet Allegheny College A. B.; University of Minnesota; B. S. in L.

(29) Class Poem Allan Kennedy We stand on the thresh-hold of life, We’re reaching our hands toward fame, For we’ve garnered a fair share of knowledge. As we learned the rules of the game. We’ve argued our way through civics, We’ve battled through history, Hut with our teacher’s firm guidance. Learned of democracy. We’ve dabbled in music and art, In sports we have carried the ball; We’ve tried to be honest in winning, Or else not to win at all. College, Commercial or General; Home Ec. or Physical l£d., Xo matter the course of our learning, We look to the years ahead. So now we are leaving with fanfare, And a trembling tribute of song, And there is a feeling of sadness That we no longer belong. Though we merge and be lost in the masses As we go our separate ways, We shall all be united in spirit When we think of our High School days. (30) Class History Dorma Means Twas the fall of '43 And throughout C. H. S. All the cookies were stirring, And, gee, what a mess. The sophomores were tramping up stairs to third floor. Shouting for joy ’cause there weren’t any more. One thirty-eight strong, we’d made it at last. Who thought that, as seniors, we’d look at the past? Our troubles began on an October night, Senior-Sophomore Party brought a terrible sight; They dressed us in lipstick, pigtails and sweaters, To let it be known that they were our betters. We prospered as sophomores, and we all want it known We were under the leadership of John (Chick) Bartone. The others in office who helped reach our goal Were Shirley Randall, Patricia Morton and Mary Lou Hoel. With lifted heads in ’44 We entered C. H. S. once more. But we weren’t frightened as we came; We knew our way in this fall of fame. For we were juniors, every one, This was our year to have some fun. It was he once more. By this we meant John Bartone again was class president. Vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively, Found Bob Benjamin, Dollie Roberts and Pat Morton, “electively.” Junior-Senior Prom was held in the spring, And we juniors were in charge of everything. We made the punch and fixed the hall That a good time would be had by all. Again in ’45 we started school Agreed to abide by the Golden Rule. As seniors we tried to do our best, Of course, we still had our usual zest. The Chestnut Hunt, the last of September. Was one event we shall long remember. The whole affair was one big thrill; The place of the hunt was Cherry Hill. We initiated sophomores, one by one, We made them dress as we once had done. Lenora Fifer, queen for homecoming game, Had three senior attendants, these by name, Pat Morton, Mac McLaughlin, Bev Ahlberg. we laud The excellent choice of the football squad. The Senior Banquet at Cleveland Hotel Was a dinner about which we’d like to tell; It was honoring six boys who joined the service, When they thought they must speak, oh, were they nervous! Another dinner, strictly for girls, Was Senior Girls’ Eanquet, all ribbons and swirls. Each one who attended had fun to the last. And everyone’s sorry that now it is past. Pat Morton served us as class president. Vice-president Bob Soltis his services lent; (31) Secretary Mary Lou Hoel kept the records duly, And class treasurer was—yours truly. A big success was the senior play, “The Groom Said No.” He got his way. The leading lady was divine And the handsome hero had a line. Here is the cast and we’re sure you know Their fine performance made an excellent show. Edward Delanty, Patricia Morton, Susannah Loomis, Mary Ellen McLaughlin, Robert Lane, Mary Ann Heasman, Theresa Buss, Marylin Streeper, Lenora Fifer, John Bartone, Richard Halliday.

Janis Joslin, Mary Ellen McLaughlin, Susannah Loomis, Jacqueline Osenbaugh, Clarice Picard, Jeanne Sampson, Nancy Williams, Prudence McNutt, James Williams, Richard Vibbard. And when as juniors we tried again, These were the ones who were sure to win: Janis Joslin, Mary Ellen McLaughlin, Ellen Haler, Mary Ann Heasman, Nancy Williams, Prudence McNutt, Beverly Cool, Madolyn Simmons, Susannah Loomis, Jacqueline Osenbaugh, Patricia Morton, Robert Rist, James Williams.

My pet cat snoozes soundly on my footstool. I half listen to the radio program as I knit—suddenly I hear the announcer say, “This is C. H. S., the Radio Station at Con-neaut, Ohio.” I quickly glance at the television to see the announcer. I can scarcely believe my eyes, for there is George Laituri, twenty years older, but the same George. I immediately drop my knitting; the cat falls off the stool. I pay undivided attention to the broadcast which is telling about the famous Class of 1946 of Conneaut Senior High. George, in his “Winchell-type” voice, states that Professor Carol Mundi has landed on the planet Moon, and will soon set up business there as a vegetable vender. His fellow partners will be Theresa Buss and Shirley Randall. A flash is suddenly received from the ace sports reporter, Alfred Anderson, who describes the spectacular fight taking place at Madison Square Garden between “Bashful” Harry Burr and “Slugger’ Dennis Carberry. “Bashful” Burr has been defending his World Championship Title for three years. Some of his most powerful opponents have been “Chubby” Jim Williams and “Battling” Bill Rist. The proceeds from the present bout are being donated to “The Home of Friendless Animals,” maintained by Shirley Bynorth and Margaret Groce. Referee for the game is Lenora Fifer. The trainer for “Chubby” Jim Williams is the all-star-women trainer, Barbara Stewart. As the broadcast continues, the next announcement is a commercial advertising “Hopkins’ Hash House,” owned and operated by Betty Hopkins. The “Hash House” slogan, known the world over, is, “Clean and neat—not a dirty pan. The reason— janitor service by Lois Sutherland.” George Laituri then turns over his program to the traveling announcer, Viola Dombrowsky. Viola, standing at the corner of Main and Broad Streets in Conneaut. interviews first, Janis Joslin, who has her head heavily bandaged. Speaking into the microphone, Janis informs the listening audience that she hit her head on an iceberg in Alaska while traveling with Eileen Bossard’s Polar Bear Club. To the delight of her hearers, Janis relates several amuzing incidents that happened in the Club. A few former students who are now in its membership are: Dorothy Perkio, Phillippa Scott, Betty Jane Sharp, Clarice Picard, and Mary Ellen McLaughlin. Viola instructs us to look to the left in our television sets. There we notice a large billboard announcing the coming attractions starring several 46 graduates. The latest Benjamin Studio production is that of the “Life and Loves of Patty Morton,” starring Dorma Means with Donald Sedmak as the hero. Also billed are, “Twinkle-toes Arp and Her Dancing Four.” These include the “blonde heart-breaker,” Jo Ann Angle, “eccentric” Jean Shafer, “the southern beauty,” Ellen Haler, and the comedian dancer, Futch (lay ’em in the aisle) Moroski. Also appearing are the renowned Apache Dancers, Beverly Cool, and Bill Blazek. (38) On the billboard is posted the advertisement of the coming of the Opera, Rome-owed What Juli-et,” featuring the famous sii ger Susannah Loomis and the versatile baritone, Vern Jarvi. They will appear at the Davin Theater owned by Jim Davin. This new amusement place is located on the corner of State and Broad Streets and replaces the former Bock Drug Store. I now note that the program is switching back to the original announcer, George Laituri, who proceeds to inform us about the other members of our Class. He states that he has just received at the station, news of Pvt. Donald Stone of the United States Air Corps who is stationed in Anchorage. Alaska. Stone has been in the Service twenty years and is working hard to get his Private First Class stripe. He sends word that in Alaska he ran into Delores Bartone and Mary Campbell panning for gold, but he regretted to add that so far no gold has been discovered. A singing commercial for Eva Bly’s Beauty Salon,” next interrupted the program. The faces of the songsters appear familiar to me, and I recall that they are my old schoolmates: Janet Thompson, Florence Porter, Robert Fox, and Sheldon Compton. They have become famous slogan singers and are heard in an advertisement for the newly-established fashion studio owned by Mary Biesty and Virginia beard. The singers inform us that the lovely models there are Irene Adamski, Rita Brissee, Jackie Hazeltine, and Margaret Berus. The latest news of the hour is then announced. I am stunned to learn that in court the breach of promise case of Beverly Ahlberg against Chick Barone is being brought to trial with Jack Brennan as presiding judge. The presidential candidates mentioned for the coming election are Alan Kennedy and Manuel Phillips. Running for the office of dog catcher is Bud Halliday. One startling bit of news is that the new truant officer, who has just been appointed, is Dick Simpson. This action was taken over the protests of parents who remember when Dick went to school—or rather, when he did not go. Fame has at last come to Conneaut for information has been received that Coach Jim Knight s Battling Five’’ has been voted the champion girls’ basketball team of the United States. The team includes Alma Jean Bricker, star center, Mildred Kit-inoja, Rosemarie Lasko, Patricia McNulty, and Prudence McNutt. Following the summary of the news comes the announcement that Ernest Rickard’s famous orchestra will play tonight at the Amboy Fire Hall. The feature singer is Jacqueline (Queenie) Osenbaugh and the guest singer will be the swoon crooner, George Sharp. Once again Laituri returns to broadcast the stories of the members of the famous class of 46. Vincent Madonna has really gone up in this world. He runs the elevator in the Empire State Building between the fiftieth and top floors. A news flash interrupts the proceedings. This is from Delanty’s Snake Farm which Edward Delanty purchased and moved out west after failure in his love life. At present Ed plans to be a bachelor. The public is informed that he has just been bitten by one of his pet snakes, but unfortunately his condition isn’t sarious. Mary Lou Hoel is the chief reporter for the Conneaut Gazette, the editor of which is Robert Lane. (39) Paul Lyon is in Hollywood taking Walt Disney’s place. His chief model is Dolores Roberts. An aviation news item states that Lois Benson and Marie Jasinski have just completed a non-stop flight around the world in two hours and three minutes in the rocket plane newly invented by the famous Robert Crandall. In a short commercial advertisement for Rossick's Wet Wash, we are told a few of the laundry workers at the plant are: Juanita Ritari, Tillie Penko, Bonnie Nixon, and Mary Alice Medeiros. Back to the news once more, I learn that Duane Laird and Robert Soltis have made the Army their life occupation and are stationed in Too-We-Wo-We-Too. Laird is engaged to the Ubangi tribal princess, but Soltis may win her over. Caroline Tavone has opened a new dance hall in Florida. The “bouncers ' are Clifford Carr and Donald Hill. The hat check girls include Evelyn Magill, Delores McManus, and Martha Fox. The new crane operator at the M. S. and W. Railroad is Norma Campbell. This railroad is owned by Marjorie Meinke, Helen Shuster, and Nancy Williams. The handcar operators are Mary Karznia. and Mary Lou Snyder. Because of the limitation of time George is forced to close the broadcast, and I, with a sigh, switch off my radio. I then call my faithful maid, Patti Hayes, who has been with me for years. She brings me a box of chocolates made by Barbara Hall in Springfield. Pennsylvania. Suddenly there is a loud knock on the door which Patti opens. Mary Ann Heas-man appears delivering the groceries. I look out the window and notice that the driver of the truck is none other than Helen Minnick. Mary Ann tells me that Mayor Marylin Streeper has had a helicopter accident with Maryalice Gildone, but luckily both girls parachuted to safety and were uninjured. After Mary Ann leaves, I am interrupted again by Roselyn Smith who is collecting for the Conneaut paper. In paying her, I give her a few extra pennies, and send her on her way rejoicing. I then pick up my knitting and sink back in my armchair. As I munch on the delicious chocolates, a dreamy look comes over my face, and I smile as I recall the wonderful afternoon I have had. No longer do I have to wonder what is happening to all my old classmates of C. H. S.

President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Earl Heinemann Robert Allshouse Richard Simons Jim Reger fjusuati Gld'l'i In 1941. a new class was born. Entering Junior High was incomparable to grade school for our future Seniors, but they adjusted themselves quickly. Their three years in Junior High School was composed of parties, assemblies, a prom and an operetta. In May, 1944, they graduated from Junior High School. The following autumn, this class entered Senior High under the leadership of Chester Arcaro, President; James Reger, Vice President; Maxine Wallace, Secretary; and Robert Allshouse, Treasurr. The year s activities varied from the Senior-Sophomore Party at the Country Club, to the Senior Girl’s Banquet at the United Church. As Juniors, these students chose an excellent corps of officers: President, Earl Heinemann; Vice President, Robert Allshouse; Secretary, Richard Simons; Treasurer, James Reger. In addition to sponsoring a Junior Party, this class displayed their abilities in their successful Junior-Senior Prom. After five years of diligent preparation, the Seniors of 1947 are ready to take their positions in Conneaut Senior High School. (46) Allshouse Altman Arcaro Baker Barringer Benson, J. Benson. L.

The sophomores left many fond memories in Junior High School—the ninth grade play, “Peck’s Ead Boy.” numerous parties and assemblies, the prom, and last, but rot least, the night that they received the Junior High School edition of a jheepskin. When these youngsters entered Senior High School they were bewildered and afraid, but that was before they had elected their leaders. With William Simpson, President; Lura Lovell, Vice-President; Peggy Gaugh, Secretary; Joan Hershey, Treasurer; and their advisers, Miss Bigler and Mr. Sayre, they soon became adjusted vO their lew life. After their initiation at the Senior Sophomore party, the “Cookies” realized that they were a part of our fair school. On November 21, they sponsored a party and entertained the school in regal style. On February 28, the girls of this class attended the Senior Girls’ Banquet for the first time. After viewing the Sophomore's activities we know that the class of ’40 will accomplish great tasks in the two years waiting for them in C. H. S.

During the intermissions of the fotball games, the Band put on an excellent exhibition of maneuvers. Under the leadership of their majorettes, the Band executed many interesting and attractive formations, some of which were square dances, revolving wheel, and on one occasion the Band blew bubbles and played, “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows.” These and other antics performed by the Band members, proved highly entertaining and helped the “on lookers” forget their half-frozen toes. On March 12, the Band presented their annual evening concert, which included: “Exerpts from the Song of Norway,” Grieg; “Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna,” Von Suppe; “Slavonic Rhapsody,” Friedemann; “Mardi Gras,” Grofe; “Red Cavalry March,” Gould; “Prelude to La Traviata,” Verdi, and “Rhapsody in Blue,” Gershwin. The first two selections of the above program were p'ayed by the band at the contest held at Kent on March 20. This was ihe first contest that our Band has attended since the war. Later in the year, a group of Senior High Band members entered the solo contest at Alliance, while the Junior High members went to MacDonald. On March 30, five members of the Eand ard three from the A Cappella went to Cleveland to participate in a State concert. It was made up of a two thousand voice chorus, five hundred piece Land and a 250 piece orchestra. The members of these organizations were selected from the better players and lingers 'rom the State of Ohio. With a season such as this, it is no wonder that the Conneaut Senior High is exceedingly proud of its Band.

Majorettes Two newcomers end two veterans led Conneaut High’s marching band through a very successful season. The art of baton twirling is not easily mastered, and it requires many hours of practice. A majorette must possess natural ability and be a member of the band in good standing. Mary Ellen McLaughlin, a senior, has completed her third year as a majorette. This year, as leader of the quartet of majorettes, Mary Ellen performed her duties with finished skill. Senior Jackie Osenbaugh was next in line with two years’ experience. Her ability was well displayed when she led the band during the absence of the head majorette at one of the games. The two newcomers were senior, Alma Jean Brieker, an excellent performer, and Laura Benson, a junior. A toast to these who led so faithfully !

Monthly Tattler We are proud of the accomplishment of our school newspaper staff and their able adviser, Miss Ballou. We feel that our paper compares very favorably with any of the twenty-five other school papers with which we exchange issues. The paper, published in newspaper format, has been issued in four to six page editions. Each of the eight issues has contained from two to five photographs of headline news. Since the student body subscribed almost one hundred per cent to the paper, it has been entirely self-supporting from advertising and subscription fees. During the first semester the paper was published by the members of the journalism class with the following staff members: Editor-in-chief, Robert Lane; Asso- ciate Editor, Ellen Haler; Business Manager, Donald Stone; Typists, Eileen Bossard. Patti Hayes, Pat Johnson; Staff Photographers, Allan Kennedy, James Davin; Literary Editor, Dorma Means; Etiquette, Norma Campbell; Movie Chatter, Phillippa Scott; Exchange, Phyllis Kitinoja, Edith Harris; Sports, George Schindler, Paul Lyon; Reporters, Harry Burr, Jacqueline Osenbaugh, Patricia Morton, Robert Soltis, Marjorie Stone, James Williams, Lenora Fifer, Lois Ann Helman. There have been a few changes in the staff membership the second semester since the publishing of the paper has become an extra curricular activity because of the completion of the Journalism course. The last issue will be published entirely by the underclassmen with Phyllis Kitinoja and Edith Harris as co-editors, Lois Helman as business manager, George Schindler, sports editor, and Marjorie Stone as literary editor.

It operates in a very systematic fashion. It is set up under a constitution, which was written by the members of this year’s group. The council has been active in many affairs, such as the supervision of all athletic rallies and the management of the assemblies. The officers are: Robert Benjamin, President; Patricia Morton, Vice President; Viola Dombroski, Secretary; Earl Heinemann, Press Reporter. Other members and the class which they represent are as follows: Paul Dombroski. Glenna Oschier, Billie Chorpenning and William Simpson. Sophomores; Mary Janie Julio, Fred Schmidt and Sue Walsh.

(68) Left to rijrht: Martha Niemi, Alice Ahlberpr, Jean Ann Smith, Jean Sheafer, Barbara Hall. Cheerleaders In the early fall all students interested in cheer leading for the school year were gathered together for organization and tryouts under the direction of Miss Mildred Gravette. In response to the summons a group of some twenty enthusiastic girls displayed their talents in rhythm and pep before a committee of Junior High teachers as judges. As a result of these tryouts this group of aggressive girls was chosen for the first team: Jean Shafer, Barbara Hall. Jean Ann Smith. Martha Niemi. and Alice Ahlberg. These five girls received the coveted C for their steady and untiring efforts toward keeping up the morale of our football and basketball teams. The second team which assisted willingly whenever substitutions were necessary was composed of Barbara Arp, Jo Ann Angle, Mary Jane DePlacido and Elizabeth Johnson. Many new yells and clever routines have been added by these girls this year. The student body appreciates their contribution toward the development of a good school spirit. (69) (70) On the .second of October, the annual Senior-Sophomore Party was held at the Country Club to initiate the prospective seniors of “48. as cookies. Susannah Loomis opened the program by singing the following selections. “All the Things You Are, and “Please Don’t Say No, accompanied by Marylin Streeper. Maestro Carol Mundi offered the piano selections, “Wood Chopper’s Hall. and “Atcheson. Topeka and Santa Fe. The program was concluded with a tap dance given by Barbara Arp. accompanied by Patricia Hayes. A cleverly arranged initiation ceremony was conducted by Edward Delantv and Margaret Groce. Some of the stunts were: A rowing team, a drill by the future drum majorettes, a love song to Miss Johnson, and the traditional cookie rolling across the floor. After the initiation, refreshments and dancing were enjoyed by all. The seventeenth annual Chestnut Hunt was held at Cherry Hill. Pennsylvania on September 25. 1945. In previous years the hunt has been held at Camp Peet but. since the main building burned down, there would have been no shelter. Even though it rained before the Seniors got started, the afternoon proved to be beautiful. Nobody minded the wet grass and mud puddles. During the morning the girls occupied themselves with a game of baseball while the boys played football. At noon, the teachers came to Cherry Hill for dinner. After dinner everybody relaxed and took pictures. The well caught the attention of some of the boys who waylaid their classmates and dunked them in the well. Everv Senior will remember the annual Chestnut Hunt of 1945. On Thursday. March 28. the annual Senior Girls' Banquet was enjoyed by 190 girls, women teachers, and guests at the Methodist Church. The theme of the evening, “Crocuses and Crinoline, was cleverly displayed at the tables brightly decorated with beds of Crocuses in gay colors. The individual programs of pastel shades represented ladies dressed in billowing hoop skirts. Dorma Means, as toastmistress, explained the theme of the banquet and introduced each of the speakers. Billie Chorpening representing the Sophomore girls used as her topic. “We Discover.” Mary jane Julio, the Junior Class speaker, spoke on the subject. “We Settle Down.” Representing the Senior Class, Jacqueline Osenbaugh looked to the future in her toast, We Go Forward.” The announcer of the program, which was held in the Sunday School room, was Lois Benson. Susannah Loomis, accompanied by Marjorie Stone, sang “Star Dust” and “Look for the Silver Lining. Marylin Streeper and Patricia McNulty played two violin duets, “Second Little Symphony” and “Shepherd’s Song.” with Mary Ellen McLaughlin as accompanist. A very clever one-act play: “Mushrooms Coming Up. under the direction of Mrs. Kline Loomis, was presented by the following Senior girls; Mary Lou Snyder. Margaret Berus, Mary Lou Hoel, Rita Brissee. Beverly Cool. Alma Jean Bricker, Prudence McNutt. Mary Alice Maderios and Barbara Stewart, assisted in the performance. The evening closed with the entire group singing “Old Conneaut.

(74) The Trojans opened their Lake Shore League play by trouncing a game but weak Geneva, playing in a driving rain on their own field, lost to Conne-aut, 26-2. Mentor's Cardinals surprised everyone, including the Trojans by toppling the favored Conneauter’s 6-0 the following week. Conneaut, hampered by bad luck and injuries, failed to make a good showing in their home league opener. On October twelfth the Stadium was shaken by the annual titanic struggle between the Trojans and the Panthers of Ashtabula High. Although the 'Bulans triumphed 26-0, Conneaut put up the best battle the Panthers got from any league opponent. The magnificent performance of the Trojan line was greatly responsible for this. Seeking to re-enter the winning column, the Trojans traveled to Willoughby, only to fall by a 6-0 score. Conneaut outplayed the Rangers all the way. but came out on the short end of the count. Meadville proved to be the necessary remedy as Conneaut returned to the winning column by trouncing the Bulldogs on the Meadville field. 18-6. Carr scored two Conneaut touchdowns, and Paul Dombroski scored on a Get-sey pass to bring in the third tally. Conneaut played host to the Trojans of Millcreek, Pa., on the second of November. Millcreek, Erie County Class “A champs, solved the Conne-auter’s for 13 points, all scored by the Hedderick brothers, while the Trojans were held scoreless. Wenner Field, at Ashtabula Harbor, was the scene of the Trojan's following league fray. Here the Mariners bested the Trojans 12-6. Jarvi tallied for the blue and white when he snatched one of Getsey’s offerings in the fourth quarter, and raced 50 yards to score. The closing game of the season, the Homecoming game, was fought against the powerful Painesville eleven. In a high scoring, bitter clash Conneaut emerged on the short end of a 34-18 count. Hard running Bud Mundi plugged across the first Trojan tally from the two yard line, and Allshouse and Dombroski crossed in the final period on passes from quarterback Bill Getsey. The culminating event of the season was the football banquet, held at the Elks Home on the nineteenth of December. Mr. Ernest Godfrey, assistant coach at Ohio State, was the principle speaker. Varsity “C’s” were awarded to Bob Benjamin, Bud Mundi. Vern Jarvi, Dick Simpson, John Bartone, Clifford Carr, Dave McQuistan, Chester Arcaro, Anthony DiBaggio. George Schindler, Bill Getsey, Leo Mucci, Joe Castrilla, Paul Dombroski, and Bill Simpson. Reserve lettermen were Alan Kennedy, George Laituri. George Brown, Thad Hundertmark. Dick Kauppila, Harold Nastelin, Jim Reger, Bob Allshouse, Donald Paine, Harold Hoyt, Dick Soares. Leo Cifelli, Bob Sillanpaa, Ted Gebhardt, Charles Lyon, and Mickey Zezzo. Managing letters went to Robert Lane and John Copeck. In the statistics department we find that Conneaut played sixth in die .league, with a one and five record. For the whole season they won three, lost seven, and tied none. They scored 75 points to their opponents 112 points. In individual scoring Bud Mundi led with four touchdowns, and Clifford Carr. Paul Dombroski and Bill Getsey followed with a pair apiece. Jarvi, Allshouse, Arcaro, and Sopka each tallied one each. Benjamin and Getsey hosted the extra points.
