On through fair and stormy weather; And when e’er the White and Blue begin, We’re all dead sure that Conneaut will win. She our pride and spirit raises. As we stand and sing her praises; And we proudly do our school revere And greet her with a rousing triple cheer. For old Conneaut. to you your sons are ever loyal; Old Conneaut, your name will ever cherished be; Old Conneaut, we’ll give a cheer for that royal Alma Mater, dear to us — Old Conneaut! Betitcatiuu MISS LOTTIE PECK Teacher of English and Latin Oberlin College, A. B. University of Pittsburgh, Litt. M. Throughout our years in C. H. S. and during her nineteen years of teaching service rendered to our school, MISS PECK has been notably outstanding as a teacher, friend, and adviser. Her remarkable personality has won the affection, admiration, respect, and friendship of her many students and faculty friends. Her beliefs in the Christian ideals and the American way of life have inspired her students to strive toward attaining a better way of life. Her qualities of helpfulness, patience, understanding, and cheerfulness have made her classrooms both pleasurable and interesting. Finally, for her excellent leadership and counsel, as our adviser and friend during the crucial senior year, we, the class of 1948, wish to express our thanks and appreciation to MISS PECK. In due recognition of her inestimable worth to students, faculty, and community and in appreciation of her innumerable services, we dedicate this 1948 TATTLER to MISS PECK. 31n jHemortam JOAN HERSHEY Eugene was a hardy, handsome fellow whose great fondness for the outdoors added zest to his personality. Eugene was a friendly individual with a cheerful attitude toward life which not only helped others to feel happy in his own happiness but also netted him a great host of friends. In his heart he had a special place for his beloved trombone; this led him to become an ardent band lover and a faithful band student. Eugene died on April 3, 1945. We last saw him in his beloved band uniform; thus shall we ever remember our friend and former classmate. To know Joan was to like her, for her happy smile and friendly manner touched the hearts of all who knew her. Joan possessed a natural beauty, a kind and sincere nature, and a vitality which made her an outstanding person. She was an outstanding athlete, excelling in all sports. Joan’s earthly life ceased on August 7, 1946. Though removed from our midst, she has been and will ever be present in our memories. EUGENE HARLACHER THOMAS RY’AN: Tommy was a friendly fellow with a remarkable tranquil nature. Never offensive, he could take great pride in his friendships which remained steadfast and pleasant. He liked people and people liked Tommy; this won’t be forgotten. Tommy suddenly slipped away from his loved ones and friendships in February, 1948. We miss him. Always he will hold a place in our hearts as a boy who never revealed a lack of either cheerfulness or friendliness. ★ ★ ★ “We have left but one last tribute to pay To those who have fallen along life’s way; A tribute in words of memories most fair Of our dear classmates who lie in God’s care.” Our Superintendent’s Message MR. R. D. PURDY Superintendent Conneaut City Schools Ashbury College. A. B. University of Kentucky, M. A Ohio State University, Post Graduate To the Class of 1948: The dawn of a new day is breaking for you. The new-born light represents your awakening intelligence, an awareness of your abilities, and a hope for a brilliant future. Your parents, your teachers, and your community have worked together that you might be better prepared for this great new day which is now opening for you: a day which represents your life. They are looking to you with faith and confidence that your efforts and your labors during this day will be productive of love for one another; of peace in your home and with all the neighbors about you; and of those things which will make our community, our nation, and our world a better place in which to live. If you can contribute your fair share of these finer things in life, your day will have been well spent, the sunset of your life will have a brilliant radiance, and your face will possess an eternal smile. Yours is the hope of tomorrow through victory over the struggles and labors of today. Our Principal’s Message MR. D. F. MACMILLAN Principal Senior High School College of Wooster, B. A. University of Pittsburgh, M. Ed. Dear Students: Today, we are faced with one great challenge and responsibility which overshadows all others: we must win the peace. Fulfillment of any of our plans, ambitions, hopes, and dreams hinges upon our first solving this problem. Our most dangerous enemy is the one which would destroy us from within by playing upon our selfishness and baser emotions, by sowing distrust and discord, suspicion, and strife. This enemy must be neutralized. The defeat of this foe and the establishment of peace depend upon the intelligence and character of each individual. Peace, like charity, begins at home. It depends upon our ability to maintain peace and harmony between ourselves and other individuals, and between the various groups within our nation. Such a relationship can be established only by living up to the true spirit of America—the spirit of tolerance, fair play and cooperation—and above all, by placing the general welfare ahead of short-sighted self-interest. Thus, only as each one of us develops understanding, practices self-disciplining, and applies the ideals of Christian brotherhood, will be establish peace within our land. Only a peaceful America will have the wisdom and the power of example to lead the rest of the world in ways of peace. Board of Education First row: Supt. Ralph Purdy, Mrs. A nes James, Mr. John Walsh, Mr. Carl Millard. Second row: Mr. George Heinemann, Mr. Kenneth Buss, Mr. Ralph Wright. A vital cog in the functioning of Conneaut High School and the entire school system is the Board of Education. This Board of five members is responsible for the maintenance of our city schools: a responsibility which includes the purchase of new equipment and books, constant repairs, employment of teachers, and many other tasks. Results of the efforts of the Board of Education were everywhere visible. Several rooms on the first floor of the high school were painted. The painting program will continue throughout next year, facilitated by the purchase of a new spray paint machine. Continuing the program of improvement, the Board has secured a sanding machine, a power scrubber, a wax polisher, and a wet and dry vacuum cleaner. Then, too, a large amount of money was expended in purchasing new books. Approximately twenty thousand dollars were utilized in purchasing war surplus equipment of great value to courses and classrooms. Under consideration is the construction of a new fire escape deemed vitally essential to the protection of the students. The members of the Board are a good representation of the cross section of our city. The President of the Board, Mr. John Walsh, is secretary-treasurer of the Citizens’ Banking and Trust Company; Mr. George Heinemann is a purchasing agent at the dock; Mrs. Agnes James is a retired business woman; Mr. Ralph Wright is a co-proprietor of the Wright Market; and Mr. Kenneth Buss is a foreman at the dock. In the hands of these citizens lies the responsibility of keeping the schools and the school systems operating efficiently. Having only the welfare of the students at heart, they make numerous sacrifices to execute their duties faithfully and willingly. To them is extended the appreciation of students, teachers, and parents. Administration Seated: Carl Millard, Janine Hermann, Jessie Hall. Standing: George Helmbrecht, Marie Walter, Laura Cox. (Missing from picture: Katherine Byron). Students, let us conceal ourselves (a few of us, that is) in the Principal’s office and observe what occurs “behind our backs.” The telephone rings and Miss Janine Hermann, secretary to Mr. Macmillan, cheerfully answers it; then she resumes her typing of a transcript of credits for a senior aspiring to ascend to greater heights in education. “Goodness,” we say to ourselves, “we presumed she did nothing but stalk into study hall and classrooms, bearing yellow absence lists or those detested detention notices.” At this point, Mr. Macmillan enters, seats himself at his desk, and asks, “Janine, do you have those forms ready for my signature? By the way. Mr. Sayre would like you to locate this student; he isn’t in class and yet his name is not on the absence list. Before you do that I want you to call Mrs. Byron at the Junior High—she has the Dispensary this period, doesn’t she?—and ask her to come here to help with the innoculations.” This continues all day: telephone calls, detention lists, transcripts, locating students, and calls from anxious parents. As the school day draws to a close, students rush home; but activity is still in evidence here. Janine types a long test for Miss Johnson; Mr. Macmillan arranges the details of an assembly program. As we sneak out of this busy atmosphere, we encounter Mrs. Laura Cox sweeping the upstairs halls and rooms. Going down to the first floor, we greet Mr. George Helmbrecht emerging from the basement where he has been firing the huge furnaces. Broom in hand, he turns to his sweeping, on the first floor. Sometime later there will be light bulbs replaced and several desks “pieced together” again by George. In the main office, we see Miss Jessie Hall taking dictation via the dictaphone. Mr. Carl Millard is seated at his desk, completing one of the numerous school reports which confront him daily as a clerk. Soon, Miss Artello enters and requests another ream of paper. As they leave for the supplies, a student approaches Miss. Hall with a demand for a working permit. The telephone rings and the call is transferred to Mr. Purdy’s office. As we leave (unnoticed, you remember), we almost collide with Miss Marie Walter, who is returning from her daily visits to the various homes. Since most students are familiar with the nature of her work, we shall not enumerate the duties performed by this “beloved” attendance officer. Exhausted from a day’s observation of office routine, maintenance mechanics, and administration duties, we give thanks that we are not members of this industrious group. FAC Katherine Artello B.

We thank thee for counsel, So learned and prudent; For teaching; and guidance, Provided each student. We thank thee for friendships. For memories we’ll treasure; Elation in victory; For joys without measure. We thank thee for wisdom; Attainment of knowledge, That helps to prepare us For tasks of life's college. We thank thee for honor, The challenge to duty, Awakening within us The essence of beauty. We thank thee for culture And social environments; Foundations well-builded To meet life's requirements. We thank thee for solace In hours of our sadness; For untold rejoicing In periods of gladness. For friends and companions So loyal and true. We give hearty thanks, Alma Mater, to you. 29 Senior Class History We. the graduating class of 1948. are leaving to the future classes of Conneaut Senior High School, a record of which we can be justly proud. If they desire to follow our example, we feel certain that the fame of our school will crow nobly and spread widely throughout the years. We have set the pace; follow, if you will. In 1945, we entered C. H. S. s hallowed halls of learning as a humble, almost terrified, group of “cookies.” who were soon made aware of their low station by being initiated into the high school student body at the Senior-Sophomore Party. As we recall that party (and who can forget it?), it was an exhibition of senior cruelty meted out to helpless “cookies”; however, both classes united in having a wonderful time before the evening came to a close. With conditions restored to normalcy again, we elected a very fine group of class officers: William Simpson. President; Lura Lovell, Vice-President; Peggy Gaugh, Secretary; and Joan Hershey, Treasurer. The sophomores that year were reluctant to engage in much activity, so the year passed rather quietly. The Student Council members were Billie Chor-penning. Paul Dombroski, and Glenna Ocshier. Our helpful class adviser was Miss Gladys Bigler. Re-entering school in 1946 as juniors, we chose Paul Dombroski as our President, Leo Cifelli as Vice-President, Peegy Gaugh as Secretary, and Marlowe Christopher as Treasurer. Miss Kennedy was the adviser, who guided these officers and the class through a significant year. Charles Sayre. Billie Chorpenning, and Margaret Jackson were our Student Council representatives. We were responsible for the Junior-Senior Prom that year and executed that responsibility commendably. As we recall the event we can visualize the hall, decorated to resemble a ship: the name of this mythical vessel was the V. R. Henry, in honor of Principal Henry, who retired from school that year. Our final year in C. H. S. has been the most glorious of all. We made a good start by electing Leo Cifelli as class President. George Needham as Vice-President, Joanne Maney as Secretary, and Lura Lovell as Treasurer. The members of the student governing body this year have been Billie Chorpenning, Joanne Delanty. Paul Dombroski, Joanne Rositer, William Walsh and Lura Lovell. The Chestnut Hunt, a traditional social event of previous senior classes of Conneaut High School, was held at Cherry Hill. As everyone expected, not a single chestnut was discovered in the day’s zealous search for those almost extinct nuts. Before the close of the day some of us almost became extinct, too. (No, it wasn’t food poisoning, for the faculty guests survived the feast.) Much food, many wholesome games, pranks, and attempts to lose oneself in the cherry grove brought great enjoyment and exciting exhaustion to everyone present. The “cookie” initiation somewhat later was fun for everyone, exceot the “cookies.” Our sophomore friends were compelled to wear their weird costumes during classes, as well as at the party, and to obey the seniors commands or suffer severe penalties. What commands! What penalties! We refer you to the sophomores surviving the ordeal, for an accurate account of this Senior-Sophomore Party. The custom of having a Homecoming game with a Queen and her Court presiding was first instituted when we were sophomores. That year Joanne Keating was the sophomore member of the Court; in the junior year Betty Peck and Pat Hecken-dorn were chosen to preside as Court attendants: and in the senior year, tall blonde Glenna Ocshier was Queen, with seniors Betty Peck and Dora Faye Bacon elected to her Court. The annual senior play, entitled “Here Come the Brides,” was presented under the direction of Miss Gravette. It was a comedy truly deserving of the name, and we proudly name the cast who displayed their histronic ability so well: Richard Taggart. Herbert Frietsch. Joanne Delanty, Marlowe Christopher, Joanne Keating. George Whitney. Joanne Rositer. Alice Ahlberg, Joanne Maney, Carol Herb and Mary Brown. Betty Peck was prompter, while Warren Wood and Norman Grose were stage-hands. Last fall. Conneaut’s Trojans adorned themselves with glory in football fame by winninc the Lake Shore League Championship for the first time in many year . Thr e-year lettermen were William Simpson, Leo Mucci, and Paul Dombroski. L°o Cifelli. Harold Hoyt, Donald Laine, Charles Lyon, George Needham, and Ricb rH Soares were two-year lettermen. As a ‘junior, Bill Simpson was selected as right guard on the All-League Second Team, while Paul Dombroski received honorable mention. As seniors. Bill Simpson, Leo Mucci, and Paul Dombroski had been 30 named to the All-League First Team. Dombroski was named Co-Captain of this team, while Bill Simpson was selected as a guard on the All-State Second Team. In basketball, too, our boys performed outstandingly. We placed second in the Lake Shore League and fourth in the class “A” district tournament. Leo Mucci was the only three-year letterman; Don Laine, Paul Dombroski. and Leo Cifelli were two-year lettermen. Leo Mucci was named to the All-Lake Shore League F’rst Team and also to the First Team chosen from players in the tournament. In track, the Trojans have always had a fine reputation. Track lettermen for the past two years were Paul Dombroski, Phil Braun, Leo Cifelli, and Leo Mucci. No team and no players can be better spirited than the student body supporting them. The cheerleaders, livewire spokesmen for the Trojan fans, have done a fine job of leading the cheers that spurred the team to superb performances and victories. For two years this group worked under the direction of Miss Gravette; this year they were directed by Miss Dubinski. Alice Ahlberg has been a cheerleader for three years; and Phyllis Howson and Joanne Blevins are credited with two years’ service. To the music prestige of our school, we have contributed great talents during these years. The marching band was led by majorettes Pat Heckendorn and Nancy Thompson in the junior and the senior years. The concert band, after sponsoring several creditable concerts, contested in the district competition at Kent in our sophomore and junior years and won a “1 rating in the class A” group. They competed again this year in the district and state contests, repeating their former performances. These people have contributed their talents to the band for three years: Billie Chorpenning. Charles Contino. Phil Braun. Joanne Keating. Joanne Maney, Herbert Frietsch. Bob Waid. Glenna Ocshier, Dale Whipple, Nancy Thompson, and Joanne Rositer. The list of those in the A Cappella Choir for three years includes: Billie Chor- penning, Charles Contino, Joanne Keating, and Dick Taggart. Those who have been members for two years are: Bob Gibson, Phyllis Howson, Dorothy Martin. Bill Mathews. Betty Peck, Tony Pignotti, Edward Schlaich, Paul Spehr. and Bob Waid. These seniors have been in the orchestra for two years or more: Betty Camp- bell, Mary Brown. Charles Contino. Phil Braun, Herbert Frietsch. Marilyn Pappold, Glenna Ocshier, and Joanne Rositer. Model students are few and far between: therefore we point with pride to Pat Heckendorn and Mary Collar who have not been absent for even a half day in their entire three years of high school. The “brains” of our class are represented in the Honor Society. Seniors who were granted membership during their junior year were: Leo Cifelli, William Walsh. Joanne Maney, Charles Contino. Billie Chorpenning. Joanne Rositer. and George Whitney. Members selected to the Society in their senior year were: Marcia Bryant, Peggy Gaugh, Margaret Hathy, Carol Herb, William Matthews, George Needham, Glenna Ocshier, Richard Soares. Paul Spehr, and Marian Surma. The upper five per cent of our class is a hotly contested position. It consists of Leo Cifelli, George Whitney. William Walsh, Carol Herb, and Billie Chorpenning. These intellectuals and several other seniors took the Jefferson Scholarship Test. William Walsh tied for second place in the county and received honorable mention in the Kent District and the State; Leo Cifelli placed seventh in the county; George Whitney placed eighth: and Peggy Gaugh, Richard Soares. William Mathews, and Paul Spehr received honorable mention. Leo Cifelli received a three hundred dollar scholarship from the Elks on the basis of his remarkable school record. Special honors were bestowed upon Peggy Gaugh, George Needham. Charles Sayre, and Tony Pignotti who were elected by the class to be Historian, Lawyer, Prophet, and Poet, respectively. The class has lost some of its original members for various reasons. Charles Lyon, Shirley Lamont, Caroline McKenzie, Geraldine Woodworth, Arthur Nottingham, Donald Foster. Clyde Porter. Raymond Cole. Edward Schlaich. Bill Myers, Dale Whipple, and Ted Gebhardt have withdrawn to pursue more profitable ways of life. Death robbed us of three former classmates: Eugene Harlacker. Thomas Ryan, and Jean Hershey. Several students transferred to other schools. Thus marriage, death, gainful employment, army enlistment and transfers have been instrumental in decreasing the size of the class of 1948. Something new was added to the school this year; a coke machine has been installed in the center hall to bring much-needed funds into the senior treasury. In all respects, the senior class have had a busy, interesting three-year inhabitation of dear old C. H. S.; and as we pass through its portals into the world, we have no®ses icn of a great many unforgettable associations that will become fond memor-i«r urdirrmed by overshadowing years. 31 Senior Class Prophecy It is now 1958. World peace has been established and our country is again at ease. Our people are living normal lives: that is. providing they are normal people. Previously, I had completed a six months’ tour of the country to locate all my former classmates, who had been equipped with sheepskins and then turned out into the cold wide world. In executing this gigantic, yet pleasurable, assignment, I left no ground uncovered. I sought for that “lost tribe” of C. H. S. among various establishments of business and in all occupations and enterprises. Herein is the unveling of the startling facts concerning the occupations and preoccupations of that notable class of 1948. I divulge the following information, the heretofore undisclosed details of progress made by those once respectable seniors. My first stop was in New York City, at the Radio City newsroom. BOB MOROSS, famed radio announcer, was just presenting news flashes of the day; and I quote: KEN “FIREBALL” CALL completed his forty-eighth flight around the world as of today. The new supersonic airplane used in the flight is the newest of airplanes, accidentally invented by ED MOROSKI, who is better known as the world’s greatest tricycle magnate. WARREN WOOD, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the United States Navy, arrived home from a summer cruise in the South Pacific. New York City’s largest billiard room, owned by BILL SPLAN and ED SCHLAICH, is now vacated. The owners left for a more interesting venture — a circumnavigation of the globe. The great economic news item of the city is that all the women have sold their refrigerators since JOHN “LOVER” ARCARO has become the new iceman. CHARLES CONTINO signed another five-year contract with BILLIE CHOR-PENNING, the notorious movie producer. Charlie’s famous dance band includes (among others) saxophonist PHIL BRAUN, trombonist BUD FRIETSCH. and vocalist BOB “CANARY” WAID. Who had ever supposed these juvenile artists had such high aspirations? Three brave mariners — FRED MARVIN, RICHARD ARP. and NORMAN GROSS — have been returned to the United States on the cargo ship “S. S. WILLIAM SIMPSON.” The ship is named after the wealthy owner of the Far East Steamship Company. It seems that Norman was diving for pearls from Fred and Richard’s sailboat when a sudden typhoon sank the boat; the men were left afloat on a life-raft. After three months at sea, the raft was sighted by the cargo ship, and the men were rescued. The great Metropolitan stock holder, BILL MATHEWS, and his two errand boys. BOB GIBSON and DICK CAMPBELL, returned today from an elephant hunt in the wilds of Africa.” After this dynamic news broadcast a commercial was sung by JACK MOROSS. (Was I surprised to hear Jack singing — commercials, that is!) Leaving the newsroom, I resumed my search for the “missing links .” In the next two weeks, I made the' following notations: Scheduled to appear on the next program at Carnegie Hall are our former classmates: GLENNA OCSHIER, DONNA ELY, BETTY PECK, and LEO JOSEPH MUCCI. (They’re really music makers of eminent distinction.) BILL WALSH is an Ohio Senator at Washington, D. C. His secretarial force includes MARIAN SURMA and WILMA SMITH. (What a competent staff our political “big-wig” has chosen to assist him!) Speaking of political geniuses, PEGGY GAUGH and ROZINE GOLLMER are United States Representatives. JOANNE ROSITER, another political aspirant, has decided to contend in the Presidential race on the Independent ticket. (Yes, indeed! The world has finally succumbed to feminine control.) While “killing time” at Atlantic City, I sauntered over to view the construction of a new ballroom. Gazing upward, I beheld a blinding flash of teeth. Behind that dazzling smile appeared LEO CIFELLI. LEO and DICK PERKIO are chief bricklayers for the LUNDGREN Construction Company. (Have these once scholarly classmates suddenly discovered this heretofore dormant talent, or has fate tricked them?) I also discovered NANCY THOMPSON and PEARL WAID managing the Venus Charm Salon on the Boardwalk. DELORES LYNCH and TONY LYUBI currently received national distinction in the four-mile surfboard race held at Miami Beach, Florida. BILL MYERS, successful in attaining the much-desired height of eight feet and six inches, is with the Ringling Brothers Circus. HAL HOYT, that terrific light-weight boxer, won the title of “World’s Champ.” He defeated DON “SHORTY” MEINKE in the second round of the bout at Madison Square Garden. NINA SWAP, renowned screen actress, recently appeared as the leading lady in the sensational movie “Tarzan of Today,” in which BOB SILLAMPAA starred in the role of Tarzan. CAROL HERB, queen of radio’s “soap-box” operas, had her fourth set of twins, thereby establishing the world’s record for such a generous contribution to humanity. DON LAITINEN is brandishing branding irons as the foreman of DALE WHIPPLE’S ranch in southern Arizona. 32 MARGARET HATHY and MARY HORVATH are managing a highly successful pet shop in Chicago. It is most strange, but the monkeys are most prominent among the two hundred species of animals. LENORE SPEAKS is a popular stewardess with the R. MARKIJOHN Airlines, which are operating between New York and China. Two famous skiers, LOIS YATES and MARY KUHN, have begun to practice for the 1960 Winter Olympics. PAT NIELSEN, a dress designer, and HELEN SIMADER, a clerk, are both employed by the J. RITTENHOUSE Department Store of Boston. TONY and VINCINA PIGNOTTI are staging a twenty-four weeks’ performance on Broadway; they are known as the “Twinkling Tap-dancers.” Evangelist MARY LOU OLSON and her singing companion, SHIRLEY GILES, have just returned from Siam. DORA BACON and JOANNE BLEVINS are inmates of a sanitarium in Arizona. They say they are not T. B. patients; they are simply in need of a rest. Finally, I returned home to make a survey of the many classmates still residing in Conneaut. Many of these have effected interesting changes in the home-town atmosphere. MARILYN RAPPOLD. JOAN HECKMAN, and DORIS MATTOCKS are the present co-owners of the local “Sugar Bowl.” Hired as their chief cook and bottle-washer is DICK SOARES. It is no wonder that this has become the most patronized restaurant in town. BILL LAIRD has purchased the Duck Pin Bowling Alley and has hired BOB KILLE and JIM STARKEY as head pin-boys. (Wasn’t Bob aiming for naval fame when he was a pensive senior lad?) DON VALENTI and DON LAINE have become prominent as drivers of the latest model cars. They’re certainly flashing the “mazuma” these days. Perhaps they had struck a gold vein while vacationing in Alaska several years ago. DICK TAGGART’S trucking service is still booming, though greatly expanded. In the front of each of his twenty-two trucks is a sign “Here Comes Tageart”; on the back is a sign “There Goes Taggart.” MARLOWE CHRISTOPHER and PAUL DOM-BROSKI are about to retire on the Ten-Year Retirement Plan which Dick has proposed for his truck drivers. MARY BROWN and VIRGINIA ANDERSON are cigarette girls at MARY COLLAR’S Cafe, which has been established in our town. PAUL SPEHR is really soaring to dizzy heights in this world; he is the window washer on the forty-eighth floor of the G. WHITNEY Warehouse. JOANNE KEATING is quite preoccupied with her daily task of washing baby clothes at the Laundromat. “Now we are seven,” she boasts. CHARLES BRENNEN recently won first prize in the skeet-shooting contest held at the Amboy Rifle Club’s annual picnic. Second and third prizes were awarded DOROTHY FOX and NANCY HILL. JOAN BARRINGER, MARJORIE GEORGIA, and DOROTHY ANDERSON are expanding their already flourishing baby-sitters’ service. GILBERT TAYLOR has been promoted to chief paper-folder for the News-Herald. PAT HECKENDORN is the delivery girl for the new Super Market in town. GEORGE WOODWORTH is the handsome manager about whom all the ladies are raving. BILL CULBERTSON and RICHARD JOHNSON are employed as foremen on the Nickel Plate Railroad. DON KALLIO is still in C. H. S.; he is trying to earn an “A Plus” in a physics test. BETTY FIFE, MARIAN MEINKE, and RACHEL AHLBERG are operators in the local telephone exchances. The women of the town think these are the “strange” voices calling their husbands to the phone. This must be a mistake. GEORGE NEEDHAM is a prominent M. D.; after seven years of intensive study he has become a competent veterinarian. Two faithful workers employed at the packing room of the Goldette are ALICE AHLBERG and JOANNE MANEY. JOANNE DELANTY, ANN DICKINSON, LURA LOVELL, and NANCYLEA ROBINSON were, until yesterday, the sole survivors of the Never-Marry-Or-Become-Engaged Club. Joanne and Nancylea were married yesterday; both married visiting counts. DONNA ELY and FAYE HAZEN have established the Dandelion Flower Shop which is living Eaton’s some stiff competition. HELEN STEWART and CLARICE SPEER, both travel-minded individuals, are emoloyed as taxicab drivers. The men don’t care to drive their own cars, when the taxicab service offers such interesting chauffeurs. Feeling it her duty to keep C. H. S. looking clean and wholesome. PHYLLIS HOWSON has asked for the position of school janitress. Conneaut’s leading real estate man, JOHN GRISWOLD, and his surveyor, CHARLES LYONS, are planning to obtain prooerty as the site for a new high school. MARCIA BRYANT is one of the city’s welfare workers. It seems that her teaching experience has rendered her so proverty strickened that she can well understand the problems of other unfortunate people. Being tremendously interested in the mental status of our population, BETTY CAMPBELL has decided to establish the Haopy Holiday Institution which aims to correct all beginning traces of feeble-mindedness. I was very sorry to read of the death of my dear friend, TED GEBHARDT. Ted passed away, unnoticed by a human eye, while he slept under an evergreen tree, secluded in the deep woods of Sawtell’s Run, near Conneaut. This, my friends, concludes my prophetic ramblinvs. My only desire is that you may be able to live up to and beyond the standards of living which I have prophesied for you. 33 Senior Class Will We, the 1948 graduating class of Conneaut Senior High School, in the city of Conneaut, in the state of Ohio, and in the United States of America, do hereby announce (on this great, serious, and solemn occasion) our last will and testament. Let it be known that these are our last precious gifts, presented to you from our dying hand.

As they prepare for the last year of high school, they look back at this year’s record with pride and confidently expect an equally brilliant future. Members of the class are deeply indebted to their advisers. Miss Ashelman and Mr. Sayre, for their cooperation and helpfulness throughout the year; the earnest efforts and good advice of these teachers have been truly appreciated. Mark Adams led the class as President. He, with Vice-President Robert Byron, Secretary Barbara Brown, and Treasurer Marjorie Daggett, planned dances, parties, and other money-making projects. In the Student Council the juniors had six representatives: Mark Adams, Martha Douglas, Frances Holden, John Miller, Richard Voelker, and Pat Wise. Frances Holden was the only member serving on the Council for two years. Conneaut’s championship football team contained the following valuable varsity lettermen: Robert Byron, James Hietikko, Harold Ladner, and James Shirkman. James Hiettiko, right tackle, was appointed to the All-Lake Shore League Team. Juniors on the reserve squad were: Charles Campbell, Robert Kauffield, Omer Laughlin, John Miller, William Pinkerton, and Richard Sharp. These boys will be seeing much varsity action next season, we trust. Head managers of the team were Gary Bogart and Carroll Armstrong. Big James Hietikko was the only junior regularly playing varsity basketball. Phil Castrilla and Elmer Kitinoja also saw some varsity action, while Robert Byron and Gary Bogart played with the reserves. Hietikko placed on the All-Lake Shore League Team. The Conneaut track team rated high in the Lake Shore League standings this year. Robert Byron, James Hietikko, Elmer Kitinoja, Charles Campbell, and Harold Ladner participated admirably in the track feats. The class contributed Mark Adams, Marjorie Daggett, and Marijo Dunnington to the cheerleading ranks. Mark and Marjorie were faithful workers during both football and basketball seasons. Marijo was forced to withdraw because of ill health. The band attended all the home games and a few out-of-town games. Junior members of the band were: Barbara Brown, Harold Carle, Margaret Ferrio, Kath- leen Gray, Frances Holden, Lois Kraus, Karina Maenpaa, Geraldine Mullen, Richard Oakes, and Judy Weaver. Robert Byron, Robert Kauffield, Elmer Kitinoja. and the majorettes (Joyce Crombie and Mary Taylor) utilized their talents during the concert season. The juniors are especially proud of the A Cappella Choir because so many of its talented singers are class members. They are: Mark Adams, Sally Bidwell. Robert Byron, Barbara Brown, Harold Carle, Mary Lou Capela. Joyce Crombie. Martha Douglas, Marijo Dunnington, Kathleen Gray, Geraldine Julio, Robert Kauffeld. Jean Mathews, Richard Oakes. Roland Von Osinski. Mary Jane Patterson, William Pinkerton, Rose Marie Preisel, Nancy Smith, Richard Voelker, Judy Weaver, and Mary Lou Waltz. At the Homecoming, football game last fall, the squad chose Joyce Crombie and Vivian Gustaferro as representatives of junior loveliness in the Homecoming Queen’s Court. High scholastic achievements were the aims of the entire junior class. Those who attained the distinction of membership in the Honor Society (as based upon their scholarship, character, and service), were Martha Douglas, Marjorie Daggett, Robert Byron, Elmer Kitinoja, and Karina Maenpaa. Knowing the Junior-Senior Prom would be an important financial item, the juniors made an early attempt to accumulate treasury funds. They sold pencils, and beanies; they sponsored dances after football and basketball games. The treasury balance began to swell. Yes, the juniors were able to finance this mammoth project. The Prom was an anticipated success. It was held at the Country Club on May 21. The juniors are justly proud of their accomplishments which have netted the class members a greater enjoyment and appreciation of school life, and have (we hope) contributed to the students’ collections of cherished memories. To the graduating class of 1948. the juniors extend hearty congratulations, wishing them a bright and a promising future. 43 Junior IMPORTANT INDIVIDUALS EXPRESSIVE ENDOWMENTS ACKNOWLEDGED AMBITIONS Adams, Mark Fast line To be a good cheerleader Anthony, Donald Recklessness To be void of ambition Armstrong, Carroll Gum-chewing technique To be a hobo Barringer, Duane “Skeeter” nickname To be Vendetti’s assistant Benson, Donald Sharp wit and humor To be a general (four star?)

As if entering Senior High for the first time wasn’t a terrible affliction, the seniors proceeded to initiate us. Our acceptance into the ranks of Senior High is an unforgettable milestone. Hideous sights were the girls as they moved about their classes, their natural beauty distorted by dungarees, sloppy workshirts, ties, union hats, mismated shoes, and mismated socks. To top all this, they practically bisected their heads: one-half the hair was arranged in pie tails, while the other half hung unbecomingly straight; one side of the face bore traces of make-up, while its counterpart was void of artificial coloration. The boys in the class were subjected to equally ludicrous innovations in clothes and facial appearances. They were almost feminine in the transformations. The evening initiation program was really terrific! Eggs served as messy missiles heroically hurled at “cookie” targets. Blindfolded girls fed oats to each other— such horse-play! Mana Cifelli was conspicuous in the impressive role of the “Statue of Minerva.” Incredibly, we managed to survive this truly amazing but also amusing •‘welcome” extended by the superior and merciless seniors. Incidentally, they called this horrible nightmare the Senior-Sophomore Party. Having become full-fledged sophomores, we proceeded to bring our mothers into the picture; so we sponsored the Sophomore Tea. with mothers and women faculty as our guests. (We wanted the home folks to see for themselves what they had wished upon us.) Everyone enjoyed a fine program conducted by class President James Miltner. Nancy Needham extended the welcome to the mothers, while Mrs. Eades responded appropriately. Harry Luce rendered a piano solo; Joanne Jarvi presented a flue solo; Mary Ann Phillips, Mary Lou Eades, Joanne Getz, and Maxine Markijohn contributed a lovely clarinet selection; Maxine Markijohn and Joanne McKee presented a vocal duet; Joanne McKee terminated the program with a humorous reading. Refreshments were greatly enjoyed, too. Time sped swiftly; it brought with it the football “fever.” Everyone was either wild or becoming wild as the team, the cheerleaders, and a remarkable school spirit flared forth. Speaking of cheerleaders, our class contributed Mary McDermott and Janice English to their ranks. These “live-wires” performed especially well. Then the marching band, which was always on hand at all the games, was strengthened by the following sophomore members; Mary Lou Eades, Joanne Getz, Nancy Green. Joanne Jarvi. Bob Lopeman, Patricia Hathaway, Mary Lou Hill, Harry Luce, Mary Ann Phillips, Maxine Markijohn, Joanne McKee, and Pearl Ann Walters. The time for the Senior Girls Banquet arrived and sophomores received invitations to this elaborate affair. Our class was very well represented in numbers at the Banquet. Joanne McKee, class representative, spoke on “Sophomores — '.he Candles.” Lest we forget those students who excelled in scholarship during the year, may we pay tribute to Irene Bradnan and Nancy Needham, who attained honor roll distinction several times. Named to the merit roll at least four times throughout the year were Wanda Brake, Mary Lou Eades. Ruth Gee, Mary Ann Phillips, and Susan Whitney. In class organization we had the following officers to direct our sophomore year’s activities: James Miltner, President: Amy DeNunzio. Vice-President: Pearl Ann Walters, Secretary; William Dombroski, Treasurer. Student Council representatives were: Patricia Allen, James Brown, Joanne McKee, James Miltner, Chester Roberts, and Susan Whitney. Well, students, herein lies the briefly reviewed “cookie” stage in the halls of higher learning. Innumerable things, good and bad, were among the unmentioned but unforgotten items in this reminiscence. 51 INDISTINCT INDIVIDUALS Allen, Patricia Arcaro, Anthony Basen.

Sharp, J. Miller, R. Kauffield, W. Livingston, P. Green, J. Griswold, R. Wallace, C. Campbell, W. Vibbard, A. Arcaro, O. Laughlin. When the 1947 football season rolled around, fifty candidates, who were unaware that they were on their way to a Lake Shore League toga, answered the call of Coaches Peaspanen and Garcia. The backbone of the team consisted of twelve returning lettermen. They were: “Sonny” Needham, Leo Mucci, Paul Dombroski, Bill Simpson, “Chuck” Lyons, Donald Laine, Leo Cifelli, Harold Hoyt, Dick Soares Harold Ladner, Elmer Kitinoja, and Jim Hietikko. After electing Mucci and Simpson the spearhead to their combine, Peaspanen’s gridders went through two weeks of hot and grueling practice to prepare for their warm-up fray in the third annual Blue and White tilt which was instigated by Mr. Peaspanen in ’45. The Blue team came through for a 12-6 revenge over the White eleven, who edged the Blues. 13-12, last year. After a strong down-field drive by the Blues. Dombroski applied the finishing touch by romping twenty-four yards to pay dirt. A touchdown pass from his brother Bill to Sillanpaa put the whites back in the game. However, Tony Arcaro clinched a win for the pre-game favorites, as he ran back an intercepted pass sixty-five yards to score late in the third period. Both lines displayed powerful stamina. In the season opener with Harbor at Wenner Field, the Mariners completely dominated the first half play. A sensational ninety-six yard trek by Conneaut’s stellar halfback Mucci, on a pass interception, gave the Trojans a 7-0 advantage just before the gridders retired for the half. Ignoring a ragged-line showing and a weak-pass defense by the backfield, the Trojans came onto the field to demonstrate to the crowd the brand of football that was to elevate them to the top. At the start of the fourth quarter, speedy Paul Dombroski dashed sixty yards for another tally, making the final score 13-0. 58 194-7 PtifiJzUt PasiadU When Conneaut invaded Sharpsville they gave those husky Blue-Devils a great surprise, as the invaders fought “even-Stephen” to a 7-7 tie. The Trojan’s line-play was bombastic and very different from the ragged opening display the week before. “Hoopy” Sillanpaa paced the Trojans on a sixty yard march; and after nine plays, the wiry half-back crashed over from the two-yard line. Ladner converted the point. The invading Painesville Raiders returned home with a 1S-13 loss, as Dom-broski and Mucci counted for one and Two Trojan tallies, respectively, all of which climaxed long drives. In their first League tame, Conneaut’s forward wall performed superbly, succeedng in preventing Painesville’s invasion of Conneaut territory during the first half. Painesville’s A1 Herpy ran back a kick-off ninety yards to score in the waning seconds of the game. A squad of heavy-hearted Conneaut boys abandoned Geneva’s football field on the following Friday, despite the 6-0 win over the Eagles. The game was a disheartening exhibition of football, with the exception of the drive that culminated with Dombroski's crossing the goal-line. The championship-bound Trojans appeared incapable of the rugged determination necessary to a pennant-winning eleven. Conneaut was penalized seven times—five times for fifteen yards—for a total of eighty-five yards. Geneva taught the Trojans a vital lesson: if they wanted the trophy, their season would not be an easy journey. Bouncing back from a shameful showing of football, Conneaut thumped Mentor here, 30-0, as they paved the way for THE GAME of the year with Bula. With Dombroski, Mucci, and Silanpaa contributing to the scoring, the devastating Trojans completely dominated the game. Soares, Hoyt, Simpson, Lyons, and Laine were outstanding. Invincible Conneaut took sole possession of first place when the men of Troy blasted Bula, 31-13, before a thrilled mob of spectators—the largest audience ever to witness a Lake Shore League fracas. The city was actually reverberating with football spirit that hadn’t been aroused since 1939. The night belonged to Paul Dombroski as he romped to five touchdowns, thereby gaining the honor of United Press’ player of the week. Paul battled for 247 of the total 324 yards covered by ruthless rushing. Two of his touchdowns were scored on the Trojan’s famous trap play, with which all League mentors were acquainted but none could stop. The Trojan lads will always remember it as an ingenious work of art. Conneaut’s line proved, beyond a doubt, that they ranked among the best in the state, by holding Bula in three goal-line stands. In what they considered their toughest and roughest game, the Trojans overpowered Austintown Fitch, 12-0. Sillanpaa was outstanding, although he made no journey to pay dirt. Dombroski shared the spoils of the onslaught. Conneaut was held to a 14-0 victory over Willoughby because of poor offensive play and numerous penalties. Their defensive strength was excellent, as they held the Rangers to a total gain of forty yards. Once more the slippery Conneaut fullback took all the scoring laurels, his second score being set up by a punt, which was blocked by Kitinoja. Before a huge “Homecoming” crowd, the mighty Trojans were in trim condition as they conquered Millcreek, 26-13. One of the evening’s highlights was a beautiful forty yard pass from quarterback Leo Cifelli to his right end, Dick Soares. Each of the Trojan’s triple-threat trio scored once. In their final game of the year and the last battle for the seniors, the men of Troy attacked Harbor fiercely, scrapping to a 7-7 tie and their first Lake Shore League Championship since ’39. Conneaut’s famous forward wall again showed their defensive ability by stopping three long Harbor drives, as the opponents neared the goal-line. Sillanpaa sparked the “champs in the running department, scored on a pass from Mucci, and converted for the all-important point. In the following week, Mucci, Simpson, Hietikko, and Dombroski were elected to the All-League “eleven” with Paul as Co-Captain. Sillanpaa received a berth on the Second Team. Simpson won recognition as Second Team All-State guard. Dombroski, who during the season entered pay dirt to claim a total of sixty-seven points, was top scorer in the League. The Lake Shore Champs have much claim to glory and noble endeavor—thanks to their able mentors and to the inspiring support of the student body. To these “pigskin” enthusiasts, who have thus adroned our beloved Alma Mater with the laurels of noble victory, we say, “Well done, good and faithful warriors!” LAKE SHORE LEAGUE STANDINGS School W.

The 1947-48 basketball season opened at the Lakeview gym with only three returning lettermen—Leo Mucci, Don Laine, and Jim Hietikko—on Coach Garcia’s team. After one week’s practice the Trojan cagemen traveled to Linesville to win their first game, 37 to 22. Netting eleven points, Don Laine sparked the Trojans, who took the lead after a first-period deficit. Trailing throughout the first half, Conneaut surged forward to defeat Erie’s Strong Vincent team, 26 to 23. Losing to Geneva, 30 to 25, the Trojans were suddenly seized with a fighting spirit which would stop at nothing short of a victorious season. In a return engagement at Lakeview gym, Linesville threatened the Trojans in a tough battle extending into overtime and ending in Conneaut’s favor, 32 to 30. Jt was Mucci’s climactic field goal, during the overtime period, that clinched the fame for Conneaut. Conneaut defeated the Willoughby Rangers, 45 to 26. Don Laine totaled eleven points for the top scoring of the evening. The Trojans had an equally easy victory over West Springfield, surpassing them 45 to 36. Making eight out of eight foul shots. Coach Garcia’s team whipped the Alumni, 36 to 24. 62 With the lead shifting twelve times in the first three quarters of the Ashtabula battle, the struggle ended in a 34 to 22 victory for the Panthers. Leo Mucci led the scoring with twelve points. Mentor became Conneaut’s next victim when they lost to the Trojans, 34 to 27. This victory gave the Trojans eight wins out of ten games. In an exhibition game with Sharpsville, Conneaut lost the play by a score of 37 to 24. The following week. Garcia’s men swamped Painesville, 40 to 15. Reaping vengeance for their previous defeat at the hands of Geneva, the men of Troy gained second place in the Lake Shore League by defeating the Eagles. 45 to 34. Jim Hietikko and Dick Soares netted twenty-five points. After putting up a good fight in the first half, Ashtabula Harbor yielded to Conneaut, 43 to 24. Dick Soares led the scoring with eleven points. Transcending all records set by Conneaut basketball teams since the Trojans’ entry into the Lake Shore League in 1929, Coach Garcia’s hardwood men defeated Willoughby again, 38 to 28, making an all-time goal of twelve victories reaped in fifteen battles. This game also gave them six victories in eight league starts— Conneaut’s best record since 1932. Mentor once again had her name placed on the list of Trojans’ victims, as Mucci poured in seven field goals and two foul shots. Conneaut crashed through with a score of 34 to 25. The men of Troy drew blood from the vaunted Ashtabula Panthers, wresting a 34 to 31 victory for C. H. S. and defeating Bula for the first time in ten years. Although they tied twice, Trojan cagemen never trailed during the entire game. With approximately one minute to play remaining, the score was tied 30 to 30 when Dick Soares made the winning basket. De Vaughn converted a foul shot to trim the Trojan lead, 32 to 31, but Laine sank another to hail the Trojans victorious. Although they outscored their opponents from the field, the Trojans yielded the game to Erie East, 45 to 42. at the foul line. During the game Mucci and Laine compiled twenty-nine points between them. Seeking vengeance for their previous humiliating defeat, Painesville gave Conneaut a hard fight, but lost to the Trojans, 38 to 31, in Conneaut’s final home game. Concluding their Lake Shore League season at Ashtabula Harbor with a 29 to 19 victory, Conneaut emerged in second place in the League. In their final scheduled match of the season, Conneaut crushed West Springfield under a 67 to 31 score. After balancing precariously on the brink of bitter defeat, the mighty Trojans forced the game into overtime and attained victory over Shaw High. 53 to 50, in the Class A” Tourney held in Cleveland. The Trojans rallied forth with an eleven-point scoring in less than two minutes. Leo Mucci and Don Laine scored fifteen and eighteen points, respectively. In their second clash in the Tourney, the Trojans edged Fairview, 26 to 25, in a see-saw thriller. Leo Mucci masterfully managed seven out of seven foul shots, leading the scoring with eleven points. As we recall this match in basketball skill, we are convinced that fate favored the Trojans that evening. Tournament clashes ended for the Trojans when they were defeated by Lake-wood. 40 to 37. A last-period rally failed to give Conneaut victory. Conneaut lost the Class “A” district consolation trophy to Ashtabula, who defeated them 55 to 37. Seniors Laine, Braun, Soares and Mucci participated notably in the scoring. Leo Cifelli was unable to play because of a back injury suffered during the Lakewood match. The Trojan cagemen ended their season with a record of twenty victories in twenty-six clashes. Guard Leo Mucci was the only player from the Lake Shore League named to the Class “A” district tournament First Team. Mucci also was second in the scoring department for the Lake Shore League, with an over-all total of two hundred and sixteen points. The All-Lake Shore League Team included Jim Hietikko and Leo Mucci on the first string. Don Laine on the second, and Leo Cifelli on the third. The co-captains for the 1947-1948 season, as elected by their fellow cagemen, were Dick Soares and Leo Mucci. 63 7RetUeta ojj 194-7 First row: L. Mucci, G. Hakkio, P. Dombroski, T. DiBaggio, R.

In the Lake Shore League meet the Trojans won fourth place. The mile relay team, consisting of Paul Dombroski, George Hakkio, Leo Mucci, and Dick Simons, won first place. Conneaut’s team claimed fourth place in the eisht-eighty yard relay. Tony DiBaggio won first place in the discus throw, with a heave of one hundred thirty-nine feet and one-fourth inch; Jim Hietikko placed third in the same event. In the eight-eighty yard run Paul Dombroski and Leo Mucci ran second and fourth, respectively. We sent Tony DiBaggio and Paul Dombroski to the State Meet in Columbus. DiBaggio hurled the discus one hundred thirty-nine feet and eight and one-fourth inches, thereby taking fourth place. Dombroski. although not placing, ran the eight-eighty in 2:3.8, which earned him sixth place. This year, the hope of winning first-place laurels in track competition rested largely on the shoulders of the following lettermen: Paul Dombroski. half-mile and mile relay; Phil Braun, hurdles; Leo Cifelli. pole-vault; Jim Hietikko, discus and shot-put; Elmer Kitinoja. pole vault and hurdles: “Chuck” Campbell, dashes. Also performing outstanding ly during the ’48 season were: Charles Sayre, eight-eighty relay and broad jump; Don Laine, discus; Bill Dombroski, pole vault and relays; “Happy” Ladner, discus. 1948 TRACK SCTIEDl'LE Ashtabula April 16 Mansfield Relavs April 17 Painesville April 23 Ohio Wesleyan Relays April 24 Ashtabula Harbor April 27 Mentor Relays Mav 1 Lake Shore League May 12 District Trials May 22 State Meet May 29 65 Qifili' Athletic Addaclalio t First row: L.

Many were the vocal aspirants turned away from the music “sanctuary” of Mr. Mackey; but those accepted into the ranks of the A Cappella discovered that they were to constitute the largest choir in C. H. S. for many years. The group was a “lively” organization, according to Mr. Mackey. Whenever they became too much alive and were in need of “toning down,” the Maestro quickly assigned suitable music as a release for such excess energy, for he believes music to be a form of discipline and a mistress of order and good manners. The year was a busy one: local concerts, exchange concerts, radio broadcasts, and the impressive Easter Sunrise Service gave incentive for much persistent and strenuous practice. Throughout the year, too, the choir members were looking forward to the district and state contests, and a possible “superior” rating. The choir won top-ranking honors (“superior” rating) in the state contest. As the happy year came to a close, senior members of the A Cappella were almost reluctant to leave vacancies which would be filled by new members; yet they sincerely hoped these newcomers would derive much satisfaction from active participation in this famous organization. In conclusion, we think how appropriate are the words of D. G. Mason in this day of wordly strife: “If it be true that music is, in sober fact, the only international language, the only emotional and spiritual coinage that is honored all over the world, then it must be an invaluable influence toward peace.” 70 Go+tcesU Ba+td First seating: J.

Our renowned Mr. Kaarlo Mackey firmly maintained that a good band must have good volume if it is to be a creditable organization. Consequently, the Band had plenty of pep and the necessary harmonious elements which were to bring honor and praise to C. H. S. During the year. Band members were subjected to auditions during which band directors from other schools served as examiners. These auditions were given for the purpose of making the players practice more than usual: for if they couldn’t plav fairly easy exercises assigned to them, it would be useless to enter the Concert Band in any contests. Day after day the Band practiced the difficult contest selections: then when spirits began to fall and everyone was convinced that Mr. Mackey and contest judges could never be pleased with the performance, the Maestro himself would break through the gloomy atmosphere with a magical bit of humor. Thus were spirit, interest, and energy re-awakened within the dejected group. A concert consisting of both serious and lighter types of music was presented in January and was enthusiastically received by an appreciative audience. Who will ever forget that delightful novelty number entitled “The Little Red Caboose”? On February nineteenth, the Kiwanis Club and the Band Boosters sponsored Bill Veeck of the Cleveland Indians. During the evening’s program the Band played several suitable numbers. Proceeds from the ticket sales helped to finance the trips to contest centers, for participation by our various music groups. The Band won top-ranking honors (“superior” rating) in the state contest. 71 Ma ioUi Uf Hand Trombone: D. Bugbee, H. Frietsch, F. Holden, K. Maenpaa, J. Maney, J. Runner. Bass: W. Laird, R. Waid, D.

Fall in. ‘'Attention!’ “Forward march!” These were some of the crisp orders i inging in the ears of the Band members, who had rushed home from summer vacation trips to struggle through marching practice under the scrupulous direction of Mr. Kaarlo Mackey. The Marching Band was almost as much a part of the Friday football games as the team itself. All those long hours of practice in the stadium constituted strenuous work. It seemed an almost impossible feat to march against a cold northwest wind, especially when one was wearing father’s long ‘woolens” or one’s “flannels” under the fitted uniform. The band members felt justly recompensed for their hardships and labors when they were assured of the many “ohs” and “ahs” which voiced the pleasure and admiration of the fans viewing the clever and intricate marching drills. 72 SaiilAllDy Student Council Seated: J. McKee, P. Allen, S. Whitney, J. Rositer, J. Delanty, B. Chorpenning, M. Douglas, F. Holden, P. Wise. Standing: C. Roberts, J. Brown, J. Miltner, W. Walsh. Mr. Macmillan, P. Dombroski, L. Cifelli, M. Adams, J. Miller, R. Voelker. The Student Council is the most representative organization in Conneaut Senior High School; its purpose is to afford and promote wider student representation and interest in student government. The Council was composed of six members from each class, two members having been nominated and elected by their respective homeroom groups. Members who gave their votes of confidence to school policies and aided in handling problems confronting the student body were: Leo Cifelli, Billie Chorpenning, Joanne De- lanty, Paul Dombroski, Joanne Rositer, and William Walsh, seniors: Mark Adams Martha Douglas. John Miller, Frances Holden, Pat Wise, and Richard Voelker, juniors; Pat Allen, James Brown, Joanne McKee, James Miltner, Chester Roberts, and Susan Whitney, sophomores. There were two corps of officers (this policy in keeping with the provision in the Council Constitution) chosen to serve one semester each. First semester officers were: Paul Dombroski, President; William Walsh, Vice-President; Billie Chorpen- ning. Secretary; Pat Allen, Treasurer; Mark Adams, Press Reporter: John Miller, Sergeant-at-Arms. Second semester officers were: Joanne Rositer. President: Leo Cifelli, Vice-President; Pat Wise, Secretary; Martha Douglas, Treasurer; Mark Adams, Press Reporter; Chester Roberts, Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. Macmillan served as adviser to the Council. Not only does the school benefit by the Council’s efforts, but the members profit by this experience likewise. They learn correct parliamentary form and correct procedure for passing and rejecting bills. Among the many duties were the management of assemblies and supervision of activities which advanced the interests of the school and developed better coordination among the various student organizations. Matters pertaining to bell systems, proper flag display, selection of Homecoming Queen, elimination of all fire hazards, and other important problems were carefully considered and effected as Council projects. Thus, one can sincerely say that the Student Council has been a worthwhile organization and has served the school commendably. 74 cManosi Society Seated: B. Chorpenning, G. Ocshier, G. Whitney, J. Maney, L. Cifelli, W. Walsh, J. Rositer. Mr. Sayre, P. Spehr, M. Bryant. Standing: P. Gaugh, C. Herb, W. Mathews, G. Needham, R. Soares, K. Maenpaa, R. Byron, E. Kitinoja, M. Douglas, M. Daggett, M. Surma, M. Hathy. In previous years it had been the policy of the school to choose members for the National Honor Society on the basis of scholarship alone. This year, however, emphasis was placed on leadership, character, and service, in addition to scholarship. Present members elected during their junior year were: Leo Cifelli (Presi- dent). William Walsh (Vice-President), Joanne Maney (Secretary), Charles Conliro (Treasurer), Billie Chorpenning, Joanne Rositer, and George Whitney. Members newly elected to the Society during their senior year included: Marcia Bryant, Peggy Gaugh, Margaret Hathy, Carol Herb, Lura Lovell, William Mathews. George Needham, Glenna Ocshier, Richard Soares, Paul Spehr, and Marian Sui ma. At the same time were elected the following junior members: Robert Byron, Mar- jorie Daggett, Martha Jane Douglas, Elmer Kitinoja. and Karina Maenpaa. The annual initiation of new members was formally and impressively conducted during a special assembly. Under the guidance of Mr. Sayre, the Honor Society rendered many valuable services to C. H. S.; among these were the selling of programs and refreshments at the football and basketball games and the sponsoring of several dances after the games. By virtue of the many honorable traits possessed and the noble services rendered to the student body and faculty, this distinctive group are well deserving of membership in the Honor Society. 75 Glt etileadesiA, First row: J. Blevins, P. Howson, A. Ahlberg. Second row: J. English, M. Adams, M. Daggett. Group adviser: Miss Evelyn Dubinski. Athletics in Conneaut High have made history this memmorable year, and supporting them wholeheartedly were our cheerleaders, who showed remarkable skill in making the student body respond to their enthusiastical leadership when cheering was most needed. We all feel certain that our hearty cheers gave the boys the necessary stimulus to help them attain such prominence in athletic feats. The members of this group were: senior veterans, Alice Ahlberg (active three years), Joanne Blevins (active two years), and Phyllis Howson (active two years). It was the first year of cheerleading for the remaining yell-leaders: juniors, Mark Adams, Marjorie Daggett, and Marijo Dunnington; sophomores, Janice English and Mary McDermott. Mary joined the cheerleading ranks for the basketball and track seasons only. Marijo was active during the football season but was forced to quit the ranks because of ill health. Miss Evelyn Dubinski coached this group through many hours of persistent practice. Her excellent leadership was reflected in the equally superior cheerleading skill manifested by the group. 76 £1 GUL £,4jianol Seated: N. Smith, R. Matson, M. Daggett, H. Simadcr. Standing: J.

The El Club Espanol, a new Spanish club organized in October of 1947, was composed of juniors who were members of the Spanish I class. The following were elected to serve as officers for the year: Jean Mathews, President: John Miller, Vice-President; Nancy Smith, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Evelyn Dubinski was the club’s able adviser. The members of the club decided to stage a Spanish Christmas assembly to highlight the activities of the year. The evening meetings which followed, served a two-fold purpose: first, to practice for the assembly; second, to benefit the group socially. After dress rehearsal, the group, attired in colorful Spanish costumes, assembled at the home of Ruth Matson. Christmas gifts were exchanged, games played, and appetizing refreshments served. The assembly program was presented before both Senior and Junior High School groups. Bob Byron, the ingenious master of ceremonies, presented the various and exciting selections in the three-act program. The Spanish songs and dances, almost professionally presented, were highly enjoyable. During the second semester, the club members enrolled in the International Society of Students and were granted the Society’s charter enabling them to correspond with students in Latin American countries. Since their first social gathering, the club members have been entertained at the home of Rose Marie Preisel. Their unrealized desire, to dine at a Spanish restaurant for a sample of real Spanish cooking, may be fulfilled yet. Then, and only 1 then, will they learn the answer to the question: are hot tamales really hot??? 77 Servian. Play Seated: R. Taggart, J. Delanty, J. Keating, H. Frietsch. Standing: J. Maney, B. Peck, M. Brown, M. Christopher, Miss Gravette, C. Herb, G. Whitney, J. Rositer, A. Alberg. The senior play “Here Come the Brides” was presented November twentieth and twenty-first under the direction of Miss Mildred Gravette. The play was a howling success; the capacity audiences of both nights were laughing throughout the acts. The setting of the play was the attractive sitting room of Jimmy Took’s home, located in the suburbs of a large metropolis. The three-act farce was woven about a likeable young bachelor, Jimmy Took, and his attempts to obtain a wife in a terrific hurry to prove to his generous Uncle Dan that his monthly checks for the support of Jimmy’s non-existent bride were justifiable. Three brides appear in the play, each attempting to help solve Jimmy’s problem. Two of these men were dressed as women and the other was Jimmy’s sweetheart Madge. Uncle Dan arrived with his ward Peggy and found three brides waiting to greet him. He also found Mrs. Duvalle Smith (who had been chasing him across the country in hopes of matrimony) and her sister “Bubbles.” Aunt Ellen, Jimmy’s housekeeper, was equally interested in Uncle Dan. Adding to the confusion was the mysterious Lady MacBeth and a nurse McDaniel from nearby Green Gables. Here is a summary of the cast: Dick Taggart superbly characterized Jimmy Took; Bud Frietsch colorfully portrayed Bill Thompson, Jimmy’s best friend and one of the brides. Joanne Delanty gave an enchanting performance as Madge Burns. Jimmyls sweetheart. George Whitney commendably portrayed Uncle Dan. Joanne Keating gave a charming performance as Peg Westfield; Alice Ahlberg made a colossal hit as Mrs. Duvall6 Smith; JoannS Maney performed amusingly as the gicjdy “Bubbles.” Joanne Rositer portrayed the role of Aunt Ellen very convincingly. Carol Herb gave an effective performance as the ever-running McDaniel; and Mary Brown, playing the mysterious Lady MacBeth, added more suspense to the drama. Incidents behind the curtain were equally enjoyable; “for instance; the night Marlowe and Bud shaved their legs so they could dress like glamour girls (even to sheer nylons); or Marlowe playing “poppa” to Miss Gravette’s little niece; or even the ever-loving doorbell which, with its temperamental little heart, rang once out cf every ten times. 78 SenioA Play Scene. 4, 1.

M., when a crowd of well-dressed young ladies began to arrive at the Methodist Church Auditorium, together with women faculty members, wives of the faculty and the school board, and other guests. This was the day of the long-awaited Senior Girls’ Banquet. The curious sophomores, eager to be a part of this event, were in a mood of great anticipation; the cheery juniors, already acquainted with last years’ banquet, were happy to be present once again; while the proud seniors, knowing this was THEIR banquet, truly believed it would be a great success. The dining room was gaily decorated with multi-colored streamers adorning columns and draping windows and doorways. The theme of the banquet being “Methods of Lighting,” the tables were appropriately decorated with lighted candles resting on crepe paper holders. As favors, there were tiny candles in gumdrop holders with life savers as handles and little bows for added color. The programs were fashioned as oil lamps with the monograms S. G. B. Following the dinner, the girls blended their young voices in toasting guests and each other. Billie Chorpenning furnished the piano music for the group singing. A sextet composed of Peggy Gaugh, Joanne Heckman, Carol Herb. Phyllis How-son, Joanne Maney, and Joanne Rositer sang “A Dreaming Rose.” The girls were accompanied by Glenna Ocshier. Joanne Rositer presented two solos: “How Soon” and “Farewell to Dreams”; she was accompanied by Billie Chorpenning. Miss Lovell, the charming toastmistress, introduced the speakers of each class. Joanne McKee, sophomore representative, spoke on “Candles,” comparing the hopes and efforts of the sophomores to obtain a good start in Senior High to a flickering candle. Joyce Crombie, junior representative spoke on the “Oil Lamp,” comparing each school year to another lamp that has been lighted. Joanne Keating, senior representative, spoke poetically, calling attention to the three school years symbolized thus: the candle representing hope: the oil lamp serving as a symbol of progress and learning; and finally, the beacon being symbolic of the guiding light in future years. These speeches, as well as the sincerity of the speakers, were highly commendable and were applauded with great zest. Following dinner, the students assembled in the church auditorium for the continuation of the program. Nancy Thompson played a trumpet solo “Serenade of the Bells.” Her accompanist was Billie Chorpenning. A comedy “Sisters Under the Skin” was presented under the direction of Miss Gravette. Student actresses in the roles of the scrub women were Peggy Gaugh, Joanne Heckman, Patricia Nielsen, and Mary Lou Olson; all were trying to become “ladies.” The setting was a beauty salon, the owner of which was Clarice Speer. The characterizations were excellent. The program was concluded by two piano duets, “Dark Eyes and “Valse,” played by Betty Campbell and Billie Chorpenning. The banquet was over; it had been a lovely occasion; the food was delicious: the program was delightful; and the decorations were beautiful. The committees, which helped to make the banquet a success, were: DECORATIONS: Misses Elizabeth Rudd and Lorene Kennedy, Helen Stewart. Betty Fife, Vincina Pignotti, Dolores Lynch, Rachael Ahlberg, Mary Brown, Wilma Smith, Virginia Anderson, and Ann Dickinson. MENU: Miss Lottie Peck, Marcia Bryant, Faye Hazen, and Lenore Speaks.
