We, students and advisers, of the Tattler business and journalism staffs present this book for Conneaut Senior High School as a pictorial record of the past year. We hope it opens doors to you in the future—doors of memory and review. On the pages that follow we present photographs of the faculty and students, of the sports and activities, of the programs and holidays that were all a part of the school year. Here we would like to give credit and thanks to Mr. Robert Murray for his work with the photographs of school scenes and activities, to the editor and business manager, Jean Ann Smith and John Jackson, to the advisers, and to all the teachers and students. Without them, there would be no 1947 Tattler. Bebtcatton VIRGIL R. HENRY Principal Senior High School Grove City College, B. S. University of Pittsburgh, M. of Ed. To Mr. V. R. Henry for his leadership and wise counselling in Conneaut Senior High School the Senior Class of 1947 gratefully dedicates this yearbook. For forty years Mr. Henry has been on the faculty, 24 of which he has served as principal of Senior High. In that span of time he has been a friend and adviser to many—students, faculty and citizens alike—sharing all their joys and sorrows. He is noted for his patience and kindness, and the serious way in which he takes his responsibilities. During this time he has guided and watched with great pleasure, the expansion of many school programs. The music department, athletic activities, good scholastic records—all have grown under his supervision. He has aided and encouraged the development of our school library, which has grown from a small room with a few books, to the first rate library we all enjoy today. There never was a finer gentleman nor a better friend than Mr. Henry; and while he will always be remembered for his share in the devlopment of our high school, his kindness and friendship will long remain in the hearts of his many friends.

Andrew Sabo 24 Class Poem By Phyllis Kitinoja As I sat in the garden by golden moonlight While lone shadows were gathering fast. I was marveling there at the beauteous sight And was thinking of days that were past. Many familiar faces then came back to me; And the scenes of the good days of yore. All those fine high school friends once again I did see. Happy faces I now see no more. Other fond memories came again to my mind. Those events in which we all had part, Of the dear high school days we had all left behind That made lasting imprints on my heart. Once again 1 could see a hard-fought football game. When our boys took the ball down the field, And our band, dressed in blue, from the crowd won acclaim Cheering on our boys who would not yield. A bright vision of our Senior days came to me. Of the Chestnut Hunt fun then I thought. How together we played, full of laughter and glee And those wild football games that we fought. Senior Play with its work, with its fun. and delay. Legion gym, hard-fought basketball games, Class Day thrills, assemblies. Baccalaureate. Commencement Day. Music, Old Conneaut, lots of names. I awoke from the joy of my quiet repose. From the memories like beautiful flowers. From my dreams and reflections I gently arose Proud to have been in a fine class like ours. 25 Class History By Lois Ann Helman If ever a graduating class has been richly endowed with talent, ambition, and enthusiasm, the class of ’47 really takes first place. Ever since we entered grade school in '35. we have been called upon to render our services. So now we, the class of '47, leave for posterity, the record of a great class. No class can succeed without helpful advisers. As Sophomores, we had the aid of Miss Bigler and Miss Ballou. As Juniors, Mrs. Loomis and Mr. Williams guided us. And as Seniors. Miss Gravette and Mr. Macmillan led us. We could never have accomplished our goal without these friendly advisers, and we wish to thank them very much for their efforts. The history of the class of '47 in Conneaut High School began on a cold fall night in October, 1944. We felt distant enough from our far superior seniors, but when they dressed us up as dunces, well, that was the last straw. But time heals all wounds, so we carried ourselves proudly and hoped for better days to come. Those who were chosen to serve as our class officers that year were: President, Chester Arcaro; Vice-President, James Reger; Secretary, Maxine Wallace; and Treasurer, Robert Allshouse. Those belter days that were spoken of were not too far away, for in the fall of 45, we again crossed the threshold into high school life, but this time we were merry juniors. Although we were then in the revolving door, as every Junior class before us had been, we had a good time because we could watch both the seniors and the sophomores with sheer delight. The Junior-Senior prom was a gala event at which we were in charge. Our class officers that year included: President, Earl Heinemann; Vice-President, Robert Allshouse; Secretary, Richard Simons; and Treasurer, James Reger. And then we became Seniors—the goal for which we had strived for eleven years at hard labor. Now we initiated the Cookies and made them feel unimportant. The Chestnut Hunt was an occasion which none of us will never forget. The class officers who were chosen that year were: President, William Gustaferro; Vice-President. Chester Arcaro; Secretary, Richard Simons; and Treasurer, Anthony Di-Baggio. The Senior Girls’ Banquet was for ladies only, and what the boys missed! Those who have represented us as speakers are: Sue Walsh, Mary Jane Julio, Nancy Pinkerton, and Lois Helman. Yes, we are the Seniors who will soon receive our diplomas and go out into the world, prepared for anything that may come our way. We look forward to the challenge which other classes have met so bravely. The class of ’47 has always had leaders. Those who have served on the Student Council are: Jean Ann Smith, William Pennell, Mary Jane Julio, Chester Arcaro, Sue Walsh, Fred Schmidt. Earl Heinemann, George Schindler, and William Gustaferro. These people have done their best to see that the interests of the students were well taken care of. Don't be too surprised if you see some of these names in bright lights on Broadway or Hollywood, for these people are the future actors and actresses of the world from “What a Life.” The cast included: Lee Erb, Edith Harris, Fred Taylor, Fred Schmidt, Richard Pease, Thad Hundertmark, Martha Niemi, Sue Walsh, Marjorie Stone, Jean Ann Smith, Earl Heinemann, Hugh Joslin, Marjorie Wimer, Bunny Burns, Mary Jane DiPlacido. Norma Specht, Kathryn Picard, John Jackson, John Copeck, and Lois Helman. If you ever are in need of some music, you can count on the Senior Class for help. These people served in our famous Band. Laura Benson, George Hak-kio, Earl Heinemann, Lois Helman, Thad Hundertmark, Louise Matson, Harold Nas-telin, Richard Simons, Marjorie Stone, Margaret Hinkle, and Jean Taylor. The A Cappella Choir has made a name for itself, and no wonder, for just look at the list of Seniors who participated. Joe Castrilla. Maurice Hewit, Robert Allshouse. Elaine Altman, Jane Benson, Laura Benson, Bunny Burns, John Copeck, Mary Jane DiPlacido, Lee Erb. Richard Gilbert, Edith Harris, Earl Heinemann, Lois Helman, Martha Lopeman, Louise Matson. Margaret Mickaloski, Richard Pease. Kathryn Picard, Nancy Pinkerton, Betty Rood, Jean Ann Smith. Shirley Snyder. Marjorie Stone, and Sue Walsh. In recent years too much importance has been given to the orchestra at Conneaut, but there are people from the Senior Class who have proved that they can make a good one. The list includes: Harold Nastelin, Laura Benson, Norma Specht, Marjorie Stone, and Lois Helman. Although we Seniors did not present an operetta, as Sophomores and Juniors, we helped present two successes, “Peggy and the Pirates” and “The Belle of Bagdad.” Those who lent a hand were: Elaine Altman, Bunny Burns, Charlene Hall, Louise Matson, Nancy Pinkerton, Betty Rood, Jean Ann Smith, Marjorie Stone. Robert Allshouse, Joe Castrilla, John Copeck, Earl Heinemann. Maurice Hewit, Richard Pease, Jean Taylor, Richard Gilbert, Eleanor Blazek, Edith Harris, Janine Herrmann, Martha Lopeman, Margaret Michaloski, Kathryn Picard, Jane Reddout, Shirley Snyder, Norma Specht, and Sue Walsh. And while we are still on the subject of music, let us look into another aspect of it. The above mentioned groups in music have performed music written long ago. We have a group of people who write their own music. These people constitute a class known as the Music Major Class. This is the first time that music has been taken for a whole credit. The class was organized by Mr. Kaarlo Mackey on his return from the amed forces. The Senior members include Laura Benson, Earl Heinemann, Harold Nastelin, and Marjorie Stone. The class has already brought glory to itself and its Alma Mater. This class has a great future and is a great opportunity for those who want to know how music is made as well as how to olay � t. Many Seniors have taken part in solo contests and have won fame for themselves and their school. Laura Benson received a superior rating in the district in flute comoetition and went on to the state contest and won an excellent rating. Harold Nastelin received a superior rating in cornet competition. Mariorie Stone won an excellent rating in clarinet competition and a very good rating in piano :omnet-tion. Richard Pease received a very good rating in voice competiton. The class of 47 was proud of its only majorette, Laura Benson, who Willfully guided the marching band through its formations. But the Senior Class is not in a rut. No, sir. Just look at the other activities in which we have participated. On the gridiron, many boys played -heir last game for C. H. S. last fall. Among these boys are William Getsey, George Schindler, Anthony DiBaggio, Chester Arcaro. Robert Allshouse, Earl Heinemann, George Brown, Richard Picard. Richard Simons. James Reger, George Hakkio. Thad Hundertmark. Harold Nastelin, Joe Cas rillo. rmd Dominic Iarocci, Manager. The second annual Homecoming Ceremony took place last fall with Delores Orrenmaa reigning over the football field. Those girls who have served in the courts are Jean Ann Smith, Jane Reddout, Phyllis Kitinoja, and Joan Terry. On the basketball court, too, these boys did their best and played .heir last games for C. H. S. Watch for these names on the sport pages: William Getsey. Paul Campbell, Robert Allshouse, George Brown, George Schindler, and John Copeck served as their manager. These boys have really made the cinders fly on the cinder track: George Hakkio, Richard Simons, George Schindler, George Brown. Arthur Eisworth, William Getsey. Anthony DiBaggio, Chester Arcaro, Robert Allshouse, Clarence Cole, and John Copeck, Manager. But no team can win without student support and these are the ones who led the cheers, no matter what the weather: Mary Jane DiPlacido, Jean Ann Smith, and Martha Niemi. In Conneaut High this year a Girls’ Athletic Association was organized with Miss Gravette as supervisor. The Senior girls belonging are: Phyllis Kitinoja. Norma Specht, Joan Terry, and Kathryn Picard. Ever since the National Honor Society was started in Conneaut. it has been a great honor to belong to that organization. The members of the Senior Class who have won that honor are: Phyllis Kitinoja, Mary Jane Julio. William Gefsey. Lois Helman. Janine Herrmann. Lee Erb. Delores Orrenmaa. Mary Jane Natto. Richard Simons. Marjorie Stone, Shirley Barringer. William Gustaferro. Edith Harris. Fred Schmidt, Sue Walsh, and Loretta Wiesen. Scholarship has always been an important part in the life of Conneaut students. Those who took part in the Jefferson test were: Fred Taylor. Marjorie Stone, Richard Simons, Sue Walsh. Louise Matson, Edith Harris, Janine Herrmann, Phyllis Kitinoja, Lois Helman, William Getsey, William Gustaferro, Hugh Joslin, Lee Erb. George Hakkio, and Robert Zoratti. Those who have taken part in the Kent Tests are: Phyllis Kitinoja, Sue Walsh, Edith Harris, Marjorie Stone, Loretta Wiesen, William Getsey, William Gustaferro. Shirley Barringer, Lee Erb, Janine Herrmann, Mary Jane Julio, and Mary Jane Natto. These three students took part in the Honor Society Scholarship test: Sue Walsh. Edith Harris, and Janine Herrmann. And so our list of Seniors comes to an end. But these are not the only ones who have helped to make ours a successful class. Many unsung heroes have done their part, also. We wish to express appreciation to all our instructors for their oatience nd ever readiness in rendering assistance. Especially are we indebted to Mr. Henry for his long and valuable services—ever-ready counsel and friendly interest. It may be truly said of him that he was every student’s friend. The class of 1947 and the hundreds of former students will affectionaly remember him. All wish him many happy and successful years. 27 Class Prophecy This evening, June 15, 1967, is Ihe big event for the Class of 1947. We are having the first class reunion in twenty years in the Conneaut High School gymnasium that they built after our graduation. Beautifully decorated with clouds of blue and white crepe paper overhead, the huge U-shaped table sets in the gym for the members. In this morning s paper I read about CHESTER TEN-GUN ARCARO'S mob, aided by CARL BEETLEBRAIN-COPPOLA and ANTHONY SLAPPY-DI BAGGIO, who robbed the 55th National Bank. They’ll be there if they can evade WILLIAM GETSEY and WILLIAM GUSTAFERRO, brilliant criminal attorneys, and JUDGE ROBERT ZORATTI of the court Her Honor, Mayor KATHRYN PICARD, and the City Council—that's LORETTA WIESEN, SUE WALSH. JOAN TERRY and NORMA SPECHT—are all planning to come. Mrs. Walter Thayer (I knew her as BUNNY BURNS) sent her regrets—she has to stay home with her six children. That mighty tackle of the Cleveland Brown, GEORGE SCHINDLER, plans to come and bring some other friends: DOMINIC IAROCCI and RICHARD PICARD, now managers of the professional gridiron. Of course, that prominent band leader. RICHARD SIMONS, is bringing his star vocalist, MARTHA LOPEMAN, to the banquet. JOHN COPECK and MARY JANE JULIO of the Metropolitan Opera are flying from New York to attend the reunion. BETTY ROOD and DICK PEASE, stars in the current musical comedy success on Broadway, have sent in reservations. I got letters from our own town merchants: JAMES REGER and WILLIAM PENNELL who say they’ll close the stores to get there early. STEVE HORVATH will leave his fish truck near the Lake and come. ROBERT FIELDS is closing his dentist’s office and bringing his assistant, BETTY TISDALE. GEORGE HAKKIO—they used to call him Gabby—is now the owner of the Conneaut Can Company and PAUL CAMPBELL, his partner, are closing up the place to come and let their employes. CHARLES GETSEY. HUGH JOSLIN, and EUGENE MACKEY, have the night off. From New York, I’ve heard from MARJORIE WIMER. now a costume designer, who says she'll bring a few samples to show us. ELAINE ALTMAN wires from Reno that if she’s not marrying or divorcing anyone she might have time to get back to Conneaut. I also received a postcard from THAD HUNDERTMARK in Alaska who says he’ll try to get the President’s permission to let him out of the guardhouse to come. I ran across ELEANOR BLAZEK down at the Sugar Bowl and she says if Chris will give her the night off, she'll come. And GEORGE “TRAY” BROWN has promised to help out with the serving. He’ll bring EDNA KAMPINNEN along to help wait on the guests. FILOMENA DI FILLIPO, with DELORES CASTRILLA. ALVA BOROWSKY, JANE BENSON and CHARLENE HALL are taking over the kitchen that night so there’ll be no worry about food poisoning. Of course, somebody has to be Master of Ceremonies so they’ve asked ANTHONY GURTO. He says ROBERT ALLSHOUSE can now play “Clair de Lune all the way through so that completes the musical part of the program.

SOPHOMORES 39 Sophomore Class On September 3, the doors of Conneaut High were swung wide to admit those shy, young Sophomores from across the way, labeled “cookies on the shelf ' But it wasn’t long before they began to feel important by having a party given in their honor by the Seniors. On November 27, Miss Ashelman’s girls from Room 37 put on the assembly. The girls really showed off their dramatic ability by presenting a very humorous play. Then came the formation of a little government all their own—election of officers. Elmer Kitinoja, president; Martha Douglas vice-president; Virginia Mackey, secretary; Vivian Gustaferro, treasurer. The “Cookies” first sponsored dance was held on Friday, January 31, in the nigh school gym. On February 21, Mr. Jiskra’s boys from Room 31 presented the assembly.

Jiskra. It was a huge success to the delight of both the audience and the cast. The action of the play takes place in the office of the principal of Central High School. The story centers around Henry Aldrich (Lee Erb), the boy who had so much trouble with his enemy, George Bigelow (Dick Pease), while he was trying to date Barbara Pearson (Edith Harris) for the Spring Dance. Henry first became involved with the high school principal (Fred Schmidt) and his secretary, Miss Shea (Martha Niemi). Then Mrs. Aldrich (Elaine Altman), Henry’s mother, entered the picture and left him more confused than ever, until the kindly assistant-principal, Mr. Nelson (Fred Taylor), came to his aid. While Henry was trying to iron out his problems, the following teachers entered upon the scene: Mr. Patterson (John Jackson), Miss Wheeler (Sue Walsh), Miss Pike (Jean Ann Smith). Miss Eggleston (Marjorie Stone), and Miss Johnson (Lois Ann Helman). Two of Henry’s schoolmates, Gertie (Bunny Burns) and Bill (Hugh Joslin) tried to sell him tickets to the Spring Dance and help him out of his trouble. Henry’s worries were forgotten for a time when Mr. Vecchitto (Earl Heinemann) visited the school with a problem concerning his daughter. Other schoolmates (Norma Specht, Katherine Picard, John Copeck and Marjorie Wimer) were unbothered by his problem as they entered the office. The stage manager was John Copeck and the bookholder was Marjorie Wimer. The Senior Girls’ Banquet, an annual event of the school year, was held this year at the United Congregational-Christian Church. A delicious meal and a splendid program furnished a very entertaining evening for approximately 176 girls, teachers, and guests on February 20. The theme for the banquet was “Doors,” and around this topic evolved the speeches by the class speakers. Martha Jane Douglas, as the Sophomore speaker, spoke about the “Open Door”; Junior speaker, Joanne Maney, described the “Revolving Door”; and the “Triumphal Arch” was pictured by Lois Ann Helman, the Senior speaker. Those who took part in the program were: Martha Lopeman, soloist; Marjorie Stone, pianist; Martha Niemi, announcer; Louise Matson, Marjorie Stone, Marjorie Atkins. Loretta Wiesen, Betty Rood, Laura Benson, Joan Terry, Charlene Hall, Mary Jane DiPlacido, BeeLoris Castrilla, Carol Harlacher, and Alva Borowsky, members of the cast of the play, “The Life of the Party.” Miss Ednah Johnson directed the play. Faculty members with the assistance of several of the girls formed the committees. On September 25, 1946, the Senior Class traveled to Log Cabin Grove for the eighteenth annual Chestnut Hunt. It was an ideal day. The Seniors put on their old dungarees, or slacks, and shirts and cast aside their cloaks of dignity. Girls and boys joined together to play baseball and football. Others danced, while a group of “Happy Hunters” went to hunt for squirrels. At noon, the high school teachers came to Log Cabin Grove to eat their dinner with the Seniors. Senia'i Chestnut cMu+tt 55 Parity The “Cookies” will never forget this night. It was October 15 and the Seniors iniliated every one of them. Some, like James Hietikko and Phil Castrilla. got their heads used as targets, some pushed peanuts across the stage, some walked in wet spaghetti barefooted, some had to clean up the mess.

Adams. 1946-47 Trojan Grid Games When Fall rolled around in 1946 and Coaches Elmer Peaspanen and Andrew Garcia issued their call for football hopefuls, seven lettermen returned from the 45 squad. Forming the nucleus of the ’47 Trojan eleven were lettermen Leo Mucci, Paul Dombroski, Tony DiBaggio, Bill Simpson, Bill Getsey, Chet Arcaro and George Schindler. Getsey and Schindler were elected Co-Captains and then the squad started to work in earnest for the season opener. After two scrimmage games against Farrell and Sharpsville, Pa., the Trojans were ready to show what they could do. The first game of 11 booked on the Trojan’s gruelling pigskin schedule featured the Blue and White as the season’s football premier. The curtain raiser was an intra squad affair boasting two evenly matched teams in size and playing ability. Two thousand fans watched as the White team edged the Blue eleven, 13-12, and as Leo Cifelli and Bill Getsey put on an impressive passing exhibition. Cifelli, quarterback for the Blue eleven completed 11 out of 19 tries while Getsey, field general for the Whites, connected on 4 out of 12. The following Friday, a powerful high scoring Conneaut grid machine, sparked by Trojan quarterback. Bill Getsey’s one-man aerial attack, bowled over Ashtabula Harbor 34-20. Getsey scored one touchdown, passed for a second, set up three others, and connected on four conversions after touchdowns. The next week the Conneaut gridders were host to a powerful Cleveland Central eleven in an exhibition game at City Stadium. The all Negro eleven was intent on avenging two previous defeats at the hands of the Trojans in ’39 and ’41 and they did just that. The score was 6-6 in the first minute and 50 seconds of playing time. Con-neaut’s aerial attack gave them an early edge over their heavier opponents but slackened in the final minutes of the game to see the Clevelanders nose out a 26-20 victory. Trojan quarterback Bill Getsey again sparked his teammates with his accurate passing to his capable receivers Mucci, Simons, Allshouse, Sillanpaa, and Dombroski. On the next Friday evening the Trojans trekked to Painesville to clash with the Harvey High Red Raiders. The Conneaut eleven led at halftime 19-18 but the Raiders ground offensive netting them 259 yards to Conneaut’s 52, proved to be the margin of victory over the smaller Trojans with the final score, 25-19. After suffering its first league defeat at the hands of the Painesville eleven, the Trojans were host to the Geneva Eagles the following week end. The Trojan backs had a field day romping to five touchdowns over the weaker Eagles. The victory was the second in four starts and total points scored at the time was 106. The Trojans won their next league victory the following Friday over the Mentor Cardinals. Displaying a variable attack, the Trojans rolled over the Cardinals 20-12, sparked by fullback Paul Dombroski who scored three touchdowns. Outstanding line play was exhibited by Jim Reger, substitute end, and Bill Simpson, dynamic guard. Reaching the half-way point in the 1946 championship race, the pigskin performance of the season was the clash between the Bula Panthers and the Trojans at Bula Field. The Conneaut team was out to break a four year scoreless record with the defending champions. 59 r The Trojans ended the blank four year scoring period by pushing over a touchdown in the first three minutes of the game. After playing the Panthers off their feet, the first quarter, the Trojan defense slackened in the second period to see the Bulans rack up their first touchdown. Scoring again in the fourth, the Panthers led 14-6 when the final whistle blew. It was a vastly superior aggregation the Trojans faced the following Friday when they were host to the powerful Erie Cathedral Prep Ramblers. Rambling through the Conneaut eleven and amassing 338 yards, the Erie crew scored five times to make the score 32-13. Leo Mucci, swift Trojan halfback, who almost singlehanded, accounted for one Trojan tally and Paul Dombroski racked up the Trojans only two touchdowns. Fumbling four times, three of them good for touchdowns, the Trojans literally fumbled away the game when they were host to the colorful Willoughby Rangers at Municipal Stadium. The Trojans saved themselves from a white-washing in the last period, however, by a touchdown set up by Chet Arcaro and pushed over by Leo Mucci. The championship-bound Rangers held a 21-0 lead at halftime and the final score was 27-7. After the Trojan starters scored twice in four minutes, Coach Peaspanen sent in his second and third teams to finish the game against a weaker St. Mary’s, Warren eleven. The Trojan subs succeeded, not only in holding the visitors scoreless, but they pushed across two more T. D.’s themselves. The Warren squad returned home on the tail-end of a 25-0 defeat. Opening and closing the season with the Ashtabula Harbor High Mariners, the Trojans succeeded in repeating their early season performance by defeating a vastly improved Harbor eleven, 19-0. Offensive and defensive stars were Chet Arcaro. right end, who displayed some nifty pass catching and Tony DiBaggio, rugged defensive tackle, who repeatedly broke through the Harbor defense. Playing their last game for Conneaut, were Co-Captains Ge'sey and Schindler. Heinemann. Arcaro, DiBaggio, Simons, Reger, Allshouse, arid Brown. This, the 1946 football team, proved to be the second highest scoring combine in the school’s history. The Trojans totaled 196 points for the season. They ended the season with a .500 record, winning five and dropping five of the ten game schedule. The fourth place they reached in league standings was the highest achieved by a Trojan squad in several years. An additional honor bestowed upon the squad and school was the selection of six Conneaut gridders for league recognition. Elected all league right tackle and Co-Captain was Trojan Co-Captain George Schindler. Chosen for quarterback was Conneaut’s aerial artist and field general. Co-Captain Bill Getsey. Elected to a second string berth was stellar right guard. Bill Simpson and receiving honorable mention were Paul Dombroski, Robert Allshouse, and Harold Ladner. 60 tf-ootkcdl Ma LCU eAA. M. Adams, J.

A contest was held and several students were selected to be cheerleaders to represent Conneaut High School. Those leading ihe cheers during the football season only were: Jean Ann Smith. Mary Jane DiPlacido, Martha Niemi, Alice Ahlberg, Dora'Faye Bacon, Phyllis Howson. Joanne Blevins, Dorothy Martin, and Maryanna Bishop. The cheerleaders during the basketball season were: Mary Jane DiPlacido, and Maryanna Bishop with Lee Erb lending his acrobatic talents. Majo'ie.tte'i In front of our marching band this year were our four majorettes; Laura Benson (the lead majorette), Nancy Thompson, Pat Heckendorn, and Joyce Crombie. It was Laura’s second year as a majorette, and Pat’s first year as a majorette here, having been one before moving to Conneaut. It was Joyce and Nancy’s first year as majorettes. 67 Senior Farewell 'Ike VilLuje Se+UanA (With Apologies to Hank) Under the spreading knowledge tree The village schoolhouse stands; The teachers, mighty men are they And when a spitball lands. With eyes alert and silent tread They’re death on rubber bands. The boys are big, seme Tat, some strong. Some play football, plays they plan; Their brows are wet with honest sweat For they sleep when’re they can. And look the whole world in the Cace And grin, “Match me if you can.” When school is out the girls depart And hurry off to get a coke, Use their lipstick, comb their hair, And some one tells a (funny) joke. The girls are watchful, then they see The boys stroll in through clouds of smoke. Perched at counters, tables, booths, Cars and clothes and dances, dates Are soon discussed. Then on we go To teachers, sports, and likes and hates. And as we homeward wend our way. Movies, clubs and winning baits. Week in, week out, from morn ’till night, With measured step and slow, We drag our weary brains to class And hear the teachers go. On and on about the things They thought that we should know. On Monday nights we went to Band To play the music soft and sweet. One eye upon the leader grim The other on the music sheet. And Mackey dreams of Army life Where he could hear retreat. Toiling,—rejoicing,—sorrowing. Onward through school we go, Each morning sees some talk begun Each evening to the show we go. Something attempted, nothing done. What will we ever know?
