Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1949 volume:

Conneaut High School Our Alma Mater O Hail, Alma Mater, we honor thy name; Each brave son and daughter sing proudly thy fame. To you we are faithful; we're loyal and true. We love thee, salute thee—The White and the Blue. And when we may wander on land, sea, or air, Our school days we’ll cherish in mem’ries most fair. Thy name, Alma Mater, we raise to the sky. We joyfully praise thee, O Conneaut High. 1 Dedication MR. F. F. SAYRE Edinboro State Teachers College Grove City College, lift. B. University of Chicago University of Pittsburgh Ohio State University, M. A. We, of the Class of 1949, do proudly dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Sayre. Why????? because of the conscientious and modest way in which he performs his duties; because of his teaching which, time and time again, has proved to be a wonderful foundation for outstanding college work and practical living; because of his patience and understanding; because of his quiet enthusiasm and perpetual subtle humor; because the Senior Class whole-heartedly agreed that he was worthy of the dedication. These are the justifiable reasons, Mr. Sayre, why we dedicate this Tattler to you. MR. R. D. PURDY Superintendent Conneout City Schools Ashbury College, A. B. University of Kentucky, M. A. Ohio State University, Post Graduate During the past years you have been studying the knowledge and the culture of today and yesterday in order to be better prepared to live happily and successfully both today and tomorrow. The information and experience which you have acquired form the foundation which you can use to interpret and successfully cope with new problems that confront you. The coming years will be better years because of having successfully completed your high school course of study. However, you must remember that education is a continuing process. It is never complete, and it is never an end in itself. It can serve as a stimulus and a guide to a finer and a better way of life. It is an aid to assist you in achieving higher goals. Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself. Messages From Our Administrators It is the sincere wish of all that your hopes for success and happiness will be fulfilled. They can be, if the winning of two or more letters is your constant aim: one C for Character and another for Cooperation. The development of noble character is essential to the success and happiness of each individual; coperation is the key to success in the building of a happier world. MR. D. F.

Led by our officers (Elmer Kitinoja, president; Martha Douglas, vice-president; Vivian Gustaferro, treasurer; and Virginia Mackey, secretary), we managed to get into the swing of our new scene and on the way to a successful and thriving career in our first act within the halls of Conneaut Senior High School. All too soon, however, the curtain came down on this act of our drama. After an abrupt silence, the curtains rose again. This time I saw, upon the stage, my classmates who were void of either fear or horror; instead, I saw energetic faces and heard again their robust voices, full of greetings and excitement. It was then a group united in spirit and effort that made up the resolute characters for this act entitled Our Junior Year. It functioned under the direction of Mark Adams, president; Robert Byron, vice-president; Marjorie Daggett, secretary; Barbara Brown, treasurer. This scene was highlighted by a championship in football and a top-notch basketball squad, of which the class of '49 was a part. This class and the entire school didn't seem to have a moment of rest from the beginning to the end of this act. In the middle of the drama, they decided to participate in the Conneaut Capers, a masterpiece of student talent which will always be a part of pleasant and exciting memories associated with Our Junior Year.” In this act, too, our class certainly showed an almost superfluity of talents. What a tremendous amount of work, time, and fun was put into this production! Listen! I can still hear our first-rate band. Did you ever hear a more perfectly blended A Cappella choir, too? Don’t you recall the victorious trips to Kent and Columbus? These were unforgettable experiences for band and choir members. You say I'm bragging. No, we students can never be too proud. These are our school days; this is what we are a part of. These events, along with the Junior-Senior Prom, the Senior Girls' Banquet, and Homecoming helped to make a perfect plot for act two. Then our hearts felt that sudden pang as the curtain closed, pushing back this fun into the memories of our past. We held our breath. Lights! Camera! Action! Would we make it through this final act of our drama? Graduation Day would tell, for this act was entitled Our Last Year in C. H. S.” As we looked at the actors, we noticed a new look of responsibility upon their faces. The reason for this was the huge task of initiating the timid little lambs that had been taken into the friendly folds of Se nior High School. We wanted to do this 22 History well; in fact, we practically overdid it, as you will recall. With this accomplished and cast aside, the actors were off to a running start on their last year of studies, exams, report cards, fun, friendships, and numerous non-enumerated, but well-remembered, eventful incidents of the year. All this was accomplished under the guidance of Edward Lasko, president; Richard Voelker, vice-president; Patricia Wise, secretary; and Martha Douglas, treasurer. In football we lost not only one game, but also all but two. However, we did much better in basketball. Maybe we, the class, of '49, were not the athletic type, but studious instead. Nevertheless, you could perceive at a glance that there was no lack of enthusiasm, especially on such occasions as the fabulous Chestnut Hunt, held at North Girard Community Park, on October 7th. “I want more meat.” Where's the salad? Who's leading in the baseball game? Did someone say, 'Chestnuts'? These and other remarks filled the air amid discoveries of good food, female football and basketball stars, mountain climbers, and unsuccessful chestnut hunters. This was the day instituted solely for seniors; the day when everyone came prepared for an exciting time and then returned home, sober, weary, and minus the burred treasurer. Let us pause to recall other vitally important scenes from act three. Do you remember Homecoming with Rose Preisel as Queen; the band concerts, still under the direction of Kaarlo Mackey; the Christmas Choir Concert, which added a festive touch to Con-neaut's yuletide spirit; the Spanish Christmas program, in which we spoke such atrocious English; our Student Council meetings; the Senior Girls' Banquet, which proved that a female flock could be a jocund group despite the absence of males; the Senior Play, in which our normally suppressed “Hollywood technique was manifested for the sake of acting a part (speaking of acting, our class certainly has some actors whom we ought to be seeing in pictures before the end of the twentieth century); the Junior-Senior Prom, a colorful evening, just brimfull of fun and frolic; the Class Day in which speakers Richard Voelker, Harold Carle, John Miller, and Jean Mathews participated? Yes, the Senior Year was all a pleasant jumble of numerous, swift-moving episodes. Then with exams at an end and a faded report card clutched in one hand and a gleaming diploma in the other, we made our exit from the stage, almost tearfully, amidst the nostalgic notes of O Hail, Alma Mater gloriously ringing in our ears. The curtain closed on the drama Con-neaut Senior High School Days,” the scenes of which were to remain as beautiful memories of a glorious past. 23 Senior Class Prophecy It is 1959. A decade has elapsed since Conneaut's forty-niners had abandoned education of secondary significance, in pursuit of interests of primary importance. Being a victim of an unsatiated wanderlust, I, SONNY CARLE, planned a quick trip to the west coast in search of my bosom pals who had made my life, during those glorious days at C.H.S., such an exciting adventure. The rocket plane I had boarded was the one perfected by DAVE MILLER (the Dave Miller of those well-known flighty ideas). DICK BRUCE was to be the pilot, but unfortunately he had lost his license for excessive speeding. Consequently, ELMER KITINOJA was employed, chiefly because he always seems to know where to go and what to do. Shortly after my arrival in California, I made a tour of the PATTERSON-PECK Circus grounds, owned by the millionaires who had previously accumulated a fortune in their Slick Slacks enterprise. As I meandered about, I noticed a snake charmer plying her charms. It was KARINA MAENPAA! I observed, too, that JANE MORAN and PEGGY HARLACHER were managing the flea cages. RITA MUCHIARONE was there, scarcely recognizable as the Lady on the Flying Trapeze. Accompanying her as personal nurse was BARBARA TUURI. I suddenly heard melodious strains. BARBARA ENGLISH, the native dancer, was very exciting in her costume. (Nothing as was worn by her, back in '49.) LAVERNE WOODWORTH was there selling horse steaks to feed the lions being trained by DELORES JERAULD. (Doesn’t that sound like a roaring profession?) I perceived that GERALDINE MULLEN and NANCY BLEVINS had drifted into the balloon selling business, which appeared to be an expanding trade, too. You’d never believe GERALDINE JULIO would like the role of the tattooed lady, but there she was, looking quite picturesque in her array of colors. Next door to this booth was JOYCE LA-MONT, prattling fortunes in her authentic Spanish. One could scarcely hear her for the boisterous barking of JOHN WADLEY and assistant VIRGINIA BRUNDAGE, both of whom were engaged in selling tickets for the Big Top. As I left the Circus grounds, I was suddenly at- tracted to the peculiar behavior of my little portable. The singing commercial specialist, MARK ADAMS, appeared to be rudely interrupted by some bombastic news flashes. JAMES COOL's escape from the Kingsville Cooler had been quickly detected and his amazing recapture attributed to a most remarkable physical feat performed by Physical Education teacher, JAMES HIETIKKO, who was employed at LASKO's Exclusive School for Girls. Incidentally, PHIL CASTRILLA holds the honorable position of school janitor. All this information I obtained somewhat later upon inquiry into the functioning of this school; and I made other interesting discoveries. This school has but four pupils: JUDY WEAVER and MARY LOU WALTZ, who are still enthusiastic about choir rehearsals; and MARTHA DOUGLAS and PAT • WISE, who are financing their way by working at Rosie's Regulating Ranch and Herman's Hair Haven, owned by ROSE PRIESEL and PHYLLIS HAGUE, respectively. On my way to Hollywood I learned that two of our old friends had attained literary fame; namely, JOHN MILLER, for his dictionary and encyclopedia on the King's English; and LARRY SLODODNJAK, for his newest thriller, The Ohio Deerslayer. In Hollywood, I unearthed Wee WILLIAM PINKERTON, who was almost buried beneath a debris of studio equipment. His newest production was starring NANCY SMITH and that new rave with teen-agers, GARY BUMPHREY BOGART. DONALD RAWLINGS was an extra who was without much extra” in the matters of financial circumstances; so not surprisingly, he was wielding the hand-organ with an organ-grinder’s skill. Guess who was collecting the coin? PAT SOARES! (Enough said!) The latest in popularity and fame among California's night clubs were Sally's Solid Senders with SALLY BIDWELL thumping the big bass fiddle, DOROTHY CONDOR hovering over the drums, MARGARET FERRIO chewing on her licorice stick (that's her pet name for her clarinet), and GLORIA MATE rendering the charming vocals. Another popular feature of these nocturnal notorieties was the devastating duo consisting of Baritone DUANE BARRINGER and Irish Tenor ERNIE WAID. These artists were appearing under the sponsorship of night-club magnate OMER LAUGHLIN, whose fame is more 24 widely attributed to his earlier inheritance of the Jones-Laughlin Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh. While on my journey home, I stopped to visit JAMES SHIRKMAN, the owner of Sioux City’s most fashionable Bachelors’ Club. Incidentally, this town has become rather famous since the establishment of CHARLES CAMPBELL’S Camping Grounds. I was almost persuaded to remain indefinitely, but was recalled home by the Mrs. who reminded me of my marital status and place of residence. Almost reluctantly I returned home, only to learn of the many exciting innovations introduced into the otherwise normal living of hometown friends. It seems that PHIL CURTISS (the boy who had always liked pretty teachers) had received a new set of socket wrenches for Christmas and had seen fit to declare himself equipped for the jewelry business. Of news to me, was the revelation that BARBARA BROWN was now teaching fourth grade physics, and that ROBERT KAUFFIELD had returned for a refresher course in science; namely, physics. (Very strange coincidence, I must say.) BEATRICE ROOD has been taking vocal lessons from teacher JEAN MATHEWS for almost ten years, but still hasn’t found a way of breaking the monotony of the morning sessions in the school library. The Bobbsey Twins, MARIJO DUNNINGTON and RICHARD VOELKER (with the expressive eyes which fascinated our Lit. teacher), have decided to call Room 20 their permanent home, although allowed to occupy but one seat. MENDAL PAGE, who just couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the atmosphere of Government class, has been repeating the course ever since. WILLIAM STALEY has surprised the world with his discovery of a most potent pill by which one could master English grammar with only a gulp and a snooze. JOYCE CROMBIE and RICHARD OAKES have become well-to-do through their joint steam-bath and tree-surgery outfits; while HAROLD LADNER has suffered financial reverses in his Zooming Zephyr manufacturing concern. He attributes this to an excess of college sciences which have confused him in his scientific planning. JOYCE KAMPPI and EVELYN KENT have hired the town’s most eminent architect, FLORENCE RUSSO, to design an extra room for the exclusive use of Home Economics girls who have beaten a path to Junior High. MARGIE DAGGETT has erected a profitable Snack Bar which serves school lunches. (She sho’ can make dem griddle cakes and sho’tnin' bread as ah’s nebber tasted ’em befo'.) JOHN VENDETTI has gained fame by the Vendetti lovelies gracing the calendars distributed by the RUTH COX Calendar Company. DONALD ANTHONY is doing very well with his Angling Arcade. DICK SHARP has been married six times, divorced thrice; that’s all, however, that is known of his present circumstances. ROLAND VON OSINSKI has experienced vagabond days in United States; so he has now joined the Foreign Legion. MARY TAYLOR manages a chain of music stores and has employed FRED WAGNER as head Sales Manager. DALE WEBB has prospered in his used-cars business. His collections include models ranging from 1928 to 1934. CARROL ARMSTRONG is the test pilot for these vehicles, and he can really put them through the acid test. RUTH MATSON has become the nation’s top physical and chemical technician. Only recently she discovered a simple method of cooking water without evaporating the HO elements. A commendable volume entitled The Latest Trends in Winning Friends and Influencing People has been civilization’s heritage from the illustrious pen of LOIS KRAUS. The Know-lt-AII-Tribune, of which FRAN-NIE HOLDEN is the chief editor, has decided to publish this great work in twenty installments. Also appearing in the Tribune is the never-forsaken Advice to the lovelorn column written by ROBERT BYRON, the undisputed authority in this universal field of human experiences. Of especial interest today is the fact that the world has beaten a path to the door of KATHLEEN GRAY—ever since she invented the flawless mouse-catcher, guaranteed to captivate mice of all colors, races, and creeds. HELEN HAMMOND has become well-known as a composer of popular ditties, the latest being Faraway Gazes. We presume half the reason for the popularity of her songs is the charming interpretation rendered by chirping HELEN GOLASZEWSKI. VIVIAN GUSTAFERRO has started a new theater in town. The opening night was acclaimed a tremendous success; the film SUPER SAM became entangled in the projector, and before being rescued, it was shown continuously for six hours. It was certainly super! It is still 1959, and I have succeeded in rounding up the gang of unrivaled prestige and fame and vocational success. As all good things must eventually come to an end, even so must I bring an end to this epic of prophetical dreaming. Perhaps all my classmates may not meet with such highly desirable destinations; but let us hope their achievements in life may not fall too short of admirable accomplishments. 25 Senior Class Will We, the seniors of 1949, being of sound mind and in full possession of all our faculties. do hereby bequeath our characteristics, peculiarities, and idiosyncrasies of nature to the following under-privileged underclassmen: TESTATOR LEGATEE BEQUEST Mark Adams James Hewlett “Al Jolson style of vocalizing Donald Anthony Leonard Diauto Mathematical ingenuity Carroll Armstrong Robert Richardson Fine choral voice Duane Barringer Audrey Hewitt Timid nature Sally Bidwell Pat Allen Spanish initiations Nancy Blevins Nancy Olson Taste for convertibles Gary Bogart James Brown Intellectual personality Barbara Brown Mary Lou Eades Physics interrogations Richard Bruce William Livingston Bale of police traffic tickets Robert Byron Ed Palagyi Lead in the 1950 Spanish program Charles Campbell Nancy Needham Pinochle talent Mary Lou Capela Irene Bradnan Music appreciation Harold Carle Richard Wallace “High” hurdle style Phil Castrilla Jack Hall Abused basketball shoes James Cool Harry Luce That dancing technique Ruth Cox Margie Reid Mr. Cherry's obvious esteem Joyce Crombie Elenor Pearson Dynamic personality Phil Curtiss Mary Ann Phillips His $30 set of wrenches Margie Daggett Mary Lou Hill Distinctive impish stunts Martha Jane Douglas Roland Miller Executive ability and chuckles Marijo Dunnington Tony Arcaro Chef-like success with spaghetti Barbara English Janice English Love of common appellations Margaret Ferrio Pearl Ann Walters Big band uniform Helen Golaszweski Audrey Scott “Highland Fling Vivian Gustaferro James Markijohn Classical pulchritude Phyllis Hague Joanne Getz Subtle ways of achieving results Helen Hammond Amy Denunzio Perpetually smiling disposition Peggy Harlacher Maxine Markijohn Bombastic political opinions Jim Heitikko Ted Zikovsky Personally autographed football equipment Frances Holden All Underclassmen Conscientious pursuit of learning Delores Jerauld Leonore Muchiarone Enjoyment of solo singing Geraldine Julio Mary Ann Milhollan Head of titian tresses Joyce Kamppi Ella Pyle All that is part of North Conneaut Robert Kauffield William Fox Scientific mind with inductive reasoning Evelyn Kent Wanda Brake Undisturbed tranquillity Elmer Kitinoja Leroy Braden An inquisitive mind and manly physique Lois Kraus Joanne Jarvi One overworked flute Harold Ladner Bob Lopeman Joyce Lamont Doris Yates Ed Lasko Jerry Weddle Omer Laughlin Paul Green Karina Maenpaa Peggy Sharp Gloria Mate Elma Nastelin Ruth Matson Ruth Gee Jean Mathews Nancy Green Dave Miller Larry Kennedy Jane Moran Richard Ross Rita Muchiarone Pat DeNunzio Geraldine Mullen Richard Zorratti Richard Oakes Jack Lyons Mendal Page Sam Simone Mary Jane Patterson Gene Zappitelli Doris Peck Marilyn Shaffer William Pinkerton Marilyn Ralston Rosie Preisel Bill Dombroski Don Rawlings Chester Pazdziorko Beatrice Rood Susan Whitney Florence Russo Mary McDermott Dick Sharp Sally Buss Jim Shirkman Dick Colby Larry Slobodnjak Donald Fenton Nancy Smith Florine Taddeo Pat Soares Jim Miltner William Staley Maurice Hagerty Mary Klumph Carol Cantlin John Vendetti Anthony Madonna Richard Voelker Ed Pazdziorko Roland Von Osinski Bob Voelker Fred Wagner Anyone with gas Ernie Waid Bob Jarvi Mary Lou Waltz Estella Stofko Judy Weaver Martha Braun Dale Webb Roy Huston Pat Wise Evelyn Davison Laverne Woodworth Helen Lemak I, John Miller, as legal adviser to the class testament to our successors, the class of 1950.

Many times we'll recall thrilling moments of joy. As we cheered for our boys on the field; Of the spirit undying, no foe could defeat That brave spirit that never would yield. In our hearts we will cherish the courage and hope; The resolves our young hearts did possess; As we tried to achieve all our aims and our goals; Sincere thanks to thee oft we'll express. We will think many times of the debt that we owe To our teachers through whose patient care We've been guided, encouraged, and prepared for our pi In the world with its burdens to share. We can never express all our highest esteem; We can never begin to impart All our thanks for the years that we've pleasantly shared With friends who are dear to our hearts. As we leave the loved halls of Conneaut High, We feel sad—even shed a few tears— For we know nevermore will we all meet again As we did in these three happy years. In our thoughts we ll return to you, Alma Mater; One by one we'll come back to thy home. We’ll be loyal and true to the White and the Blue; Ne’er forget thee though far we may roam. —Richard Voelker The Senior Daze September 7 Hurrah! We're in school again and actually glad!

They were: Anthony Arcoro, Robert Byron, James Hietikko, Elmer Kitinojo, Harold Ladner, and James Shirkman. Hietikko and Kitinojo were elected co-captains by their team-motes before the practice got underway. After two weeks of rugged conditioning and fundomentol practice, the Men of Troy were beginning to shape up into o football team and were ready to exhibit their obilities on the gridiron, in the annuol Blue-White game. BLUE-WHITE With both teams evenly matched, the Blue-White game was expected to be full of thrills and exciting moments. The Blues, led by Captain Hietikko, and the Whites, led by Captoin Kitinojo. fought o grueling and exciting forty minutes of football, with the Blues emerging victorious, 7-6. Jim Shirk-man's conversion proved to be the margin of victory. Both teams displayed powerful defenses, but lacked offensive power. Both touchdowns were scored by way of the air route. The Blues scored first, on a pass from Tony Vendetti to Tony Arcoro, and the Whites immediately after, on a pass from Bill Dombroski to Dick Sharp. Both touchdown plays covered twenty-five yards. ERIE PREP Fighting to the lost second of the game, Conneaut hod its string of twelve victories broken by Erie Cathedral Prep, 19-7. Prep scored in the second period and held o lead of 6- 0 ot half-time. Conneaut came back in the third period on a 90 yard touchdown drive. Arcoro blasted over from the five ond Kitinojo added the point to give the Trojans o brief 7- 6 leod. This lasted only four minutes, for Erie scored on o sustained drive after the kickoff. Erie also scored in the fourth period to moke the final score read 19-7. PAINESVILLE A forty-yard touchdown pass in the first two minutes of the game proved to be enough to send the Trojans reeling in defeot. Fullback Tom Pietilo possed to Leroy Hamilton for the touchdown and Dick Cardina converted the extra-point try to end the evening's scoring. Conneaut displayed an open defense at times and a poor offense throughout the game. The Trojans penetrated to the Raider’s ten-yard line once, but were held on downs. Tackles Ladner and Hietikko playe J a bong-up gome on both offense ond defense. AUSTINTOWN FITCH Austintown rolled up a score of 46 9 to hand the Trojans their sixth defeat of the year. They scored twice in each of the first three periods and once in the fourth while Conneaut scored a safety in the third stanzo and their only touchdown in the final stanza. Again Arcaro scored for Conneaut—-on a 51 -yard gallop! Sub-quarterback Vendetti played a fine offensive game for Conneaut while Hietikko and Ladner turned in their usual stellor game. MILLCREEK Breaks and poor blocking proved to be the victors over Conneaut as Millcreek won by a score of 1 2-0. The Conneout charges played a sensational game, but a blocked punt and a fumble set up two touchdowns for the victors deep in Trojan territory. Jim Hietikko and 'Hop” Ladner proved to be ball carriers os they picked up quite a bit of yardage on their tackle-oround play. HARBOR The game with a storybook finish I With the score standing 19-13, Harbor ahead and one second to play. Bob Byron blasted his bruised body across the goal to tie the score and end the ball gome. The score was set up on a pass from tackle Ladner to Hollywood” Roberts. It covered twenty-one yards. Everyone was outstanding in his play and Conneaut fans went home full of joy and happiness. Arcaro scored the other two Conneaut touchdowns. ALLIANCE An obviously mis-matched game, Conneout was stunned 67-0. Alliance scored ten touchdowns ond seven conversions to hand Conneout its worst defeat of the season. The Trojans never stopped fighting, os they fought against a stronger foe. The game was played in a sea of mud and recognition of players by their numbers was impossible. Jim Hietikko proved to be an All-State tackle as he stood out for the losing Trojans. This game completed the season and the Trojans ended with one win, one tie, and eight defeats. WILLOUGHBY With a perfect passing parade, Willoughby beat Conneaut 21-6, giving Conneaut a record of one win and five losses for the season. Willoughby scored in the first, third and final quarters while Conneaut added their tally in the second period. Arcaro climaxed a sixty-one yard drive by scampering across from the nine-yard stripe. Sophomores Palagyi, Kent, and Legezza played a bruising game for the Conneaut line. Continued on Poge 62 49 Gridiron HAROLD LADNER - Tockle Hop was considered by our coach os the fifth man in the bockfield. He ran with the ball and threw passes with the ease of a halfback. A three-year lettermon, Harold was awarded the Sportsmanship trophy at the conclusion of the season. JAMES SHIRKMAN - Guard The most pugnacious little football player on the team was none other than Jim Shirkmon. He wos a little man with a fighting heart and o ' die-with-my-helmet-on spirit. Jim won a letter in both his junior and senior years. CHUCK CAMPBELL - Halfback Chuck was handicapped by injuries which limited action only. A speedy halfbock who could hit the line with the power of a fullback, he shone as a fine ground-gainer for the Trojons. ROBERT BYRON - Halfback Ploying only on defense in his junior year. Bob proved to be indispensable. As a senior he shone also on offense. He will be remembered for the touchdown he mode with only one second to ploy, thus enabling Conneaut to tie Harbor in the last game of the season. MENDAL PAGE - End Page was on aggressive man on the Trojon forword woll. He stood out greatly in the Millcreek gome even though the Trojans lost. He olwoys ployed best when he become somewhat provoked. ROBERT KAUFFIELD - End Bob performed notable feats during the latter part of the seoson of his senior year, both on offense and defense. His speed helped him to ground opponent ballcarriers ond to snag floating passes from our backs. Kauffe” was o good team man and fought incessantly to the end of every battle. 50 Personalities RICHARD SHARP - Halfback Another Tiny Tim of the Trojans. Dick was a swivelhipped halfback who could carry the ball. He ripped off many gains and caught many passes that were favorable to the team. Dick was a tough line backer on defense. OMER LAUGHLIN - Guard A fine ployer. possessing spirit and determination. Omer won his varsity C in his senior year. Although a little mon, ‘ Remo” was on osset to the team because of his fine teomwork. WILLIAM PINKERTON - Guard Wee Willy proved that being small didn't meon he was a pushover. Bill was the smallest mon on the line, but he proved to be one of the most valuable. He was as tough os noils on defense and ruined many of the opponents plays. JOHN MILLER - Guard As o remarkable offensive player for the Trojans, John was o good blocker and o quick thinker — always one step aheod of the other fellow. His witty remarks bol stered the team's spirit to soaring heights. PHIL CASTRILLA - Guard Phil mode his debut in his senior year. A rugged line backer, he could diagnose the opponents' plays and spoil them before they got underway. Phil always promoted the high spirits of the team and exhibited great pep. ELMER KITINOJA - End Besides winning three varsity letters, Elmer was elected co-captain in his senior year. He was a hard luck player; in his junior year he was injured and didn't finish the season. The next year he returned with on abundance of physical stamina and spirit. Another injury cut his season short, however. JAMES HIETIKKO - Tackle Jim was surely an All-State tackle. He was a three-year letterman ond he co-captain-ed the Trojans in his senior year. Big Jim's rugged defensive play stood out like a sore thumb on the Trojon's forward wall. 51 Homecoming Court Presiding at the picturesque Homecoming football game was lovely Queen Rose Marie Preisel and her beauteous court which included the following: Lois Kraus and Joyce Crombie, seniors; Martha Braun and Marilyn Ralston, juniors; Eleanor Lasko and Rachel Byron, sophomores.

Standing: William Dombroski, Chester Roberts. (Missing from picture: Phil Castrilla.) Hardwood First-Stringers HIETIKKO, JAMES Jim was one of the two returning lettermen this year and the only man on the team to receive three varsity letters in basketball. Deserv-ingly, he was named All-Lake Shore League center during his junior year. Throughout his years of playing Jim was a master at controlling the backboards and tipping in shots. KITINOJA, ELMER Elmer, another returning letterman, played forward. His determination to win carried the team through some rough spots. Being one of the best ball-handlers on the team, Elmer was quick to capitalize on his opponent's mistakes and plan Trojan strategy. DOMBROWSKI, BILL Outstanding in lead scoring. Bill could always be counted on to do his share. He used his height advantageously in helping to control the backboards. Bill has another year to roam the hardwood for the Troians. WALLACE, DICK Dick was a junior playing guard with a good defensive as well as offensive. Most of his points were via long distance; however, he was also a good close range shooter with either hand. Dick was one of Conneaut’s most consistent scorers. ROBERTS, CHESTER Chet was a junior playing his first year of varsity basketball in position as forward. His fast improvement earned him a berth on the varsity; he always had a habit of scoring the points when they were most greatly needed. Chet seemed to prefer making points on corner shots. CASTRILLA, PHIL Guard Phil was about the best senior ball-handler on the team. Most of his points were made on long shots. Playing defensive, his moves were efficiently and effectively executed. 55 Row 1: P. lorocci, D. Honkins, J. Phillips. R. KoufField. H. Carle. D. Dunbar, R. Colby, E. Ahlberg. Row 7: I. Slone, J.

They were: Leo Mucci, Paul Dombroski, Leo Cifelli, Phil Braun, James Hietikko, and Elmer Kitinoja. These men formed the core of the 48 team. After the seniors defeated the juniors in the interclass track meet, the team journeyed to Ashtabula to defeat the Bulans, 60-58. Leo Mucci took the scoring honors with 1 1 Va points to his credit. After this meet, Conneaut lost to Painesville and Ashtabula Harbor.

Girls' Athletic Association The dismissal bell has rung and students have hurried home. The hallowed halls of C.H.S. seem very peaceful and quiet; but what is this mass of confusion running toward us? It seems to be about forty-five girls clad in shorts and wearing their fathers' shirts. You really need not be alarmed. This group is only the G.A.A. starting on their afternoon workout. Leading this group is Frances Holden, president; Lois Kraus, vice-president; Lucinda Johnston, secretary; Elma Nastelin, treasurer. Who's that chiclooking gal in cute shorts? Well, that’s none other than Miss Mildred Gravette, their capable supervisor. The girls really love sports. We have seen them playing basketball, volleyball, field hockey, soft-ball, archery, and bowling. My! Such vitality! Their toil does not go unrewarded; for these girls not only have fun in participation but also look forward to the end of the season when their ambition will be rewarded by entitling them to the coveted blue and white letters. Now they’re speeding down the hall again, on their way to the gym. May the best team win! 58 FOOTBALL REVIEW Continued from Page 51 GENEVA Geneva scored their first victory over Conneaut in five years, defeating them 13-7, to spoil Conneaut's Homecoming. Poor line-play, offensively and defensively, proved to be Conneaut's downfall. Geneva scored in the first period on a seventy-three yard touchdown drive. The second and third quarters were dull and unexciting, but in the fourth quarter the Eagles added their second touchdown on a forty-yard pass play. Conneaut took the ball on the kickoff and went sixty yards to o touchdown. Arcaro scored the touchdown and Kitinoja converted to make the score 13-7 at the game's end. MENTOR Conneaut's only victory of the year was received in a steady downpour at the muddy Mentor field. With both the line ond backfield playing outstanding boll, Arcaro, Dombroski, and Joslin hit pay dirt to give the Trojans a 19-6 victory. Bob Kauffield, the right end, played on outstanding game for the Trojans. Tony Arcaro picked up yord after yard on the Trojan's powerful off-tackle plays, which proved to be the best type of plays in the Trojan offense. ASHTABULA Ashtabula gained revenge for the 31-13 trouncing received at the hands of the Trojans the year before, by beating them 21-0. Conneaut's offense and defense seemed to be os good as that of the Panthers, but the Panthers received the breaks. They scored once in the first quorter and twice in the fourth period to beat Conneaut. Bob Byron played superbly at his quarterback post. When the All-League team was reported, as expected, ' Big Jim Hietikko was named to the first squad. Those receiving second team berths were: Tony Arcaro, Phil Castrilla, and Elmer Kitinoja. Hietikko also made various first and second All-State teams. Harold Ladner received the Ojajarvi Sportsmanship trophy. His teammates voted him an almost unanimous choice for the honor. Even though Conneaut's season was not a glorious one, the Trojon gridders will never forget it. To them it was successful. They learned how to take defeat and keep a smile on their faces. They leorned that winning games wasn't everything; that if they tried hard and did not give up. they could be satisfied at the end. Injuries hampered the Trojans all season. Elmer Kitinoja and Chuck Campbell were out half the season because of injuries, and various players were bothered by flu ond charley-horses. Bob Byron had trouble with his foot, so his value was lessened. Almost every game, someone was out of the starting line-up,- but when all was over, the boys were hoppy to have played on such a fine team I Lake-Shore League Standing: Team Won Lost Tied Ashtabula ................. 6 0 0 Willoughby ................ 4 2 0 Painesville 4 2 0 Geneva .................... 3 3 0 Harbor .................... 2 3 1 CONNEAUT .................. 1 4 1 Mentor ............. ... 0 6 0 BASKETBALL HI-LITES OF 1948-1949 (Continued from Page 56) Conneaut jumped back into the winning column by trouncing the Mentor Cardinals, 53-44. Chet Roberts, playing one of his best games of the year, accumulated seventeen points, leading his team to victory. “First-stringers” Elmer Kitinoja and Jim Hietikko, unable to play because of illness, Conneaut bowed to undefeated Linesville, 47-29, with Tony Arcaro scoring eight points. With Hietikko and Kitinoja still sidelined, the Trojans dropped their last league game to Painesville, 47-21. Conneaut led at the end of the first quarter, 10-7, but couldn't seem to find the rim after that. High-scorer Dombroski gained nine points for Conneaut. In their last game of the season, Conneaut bowed to a powerful Cleveland Heights Quintet, 48-36. Heights soared to an early lead which the Trojans couldn’t overcome. Playing the last game for Conneaut were guard Phil Castrilla, scoring eleven points, Elmer Kitinoja, and Jim Hietikko. Center Jim Hietikko was awarded the berth of first-string” Center on the Lake Shore League team for the second consecutive year. 60 Inner Row: R. Gee, M. Ralston. R. Priesel, E.

The concert band convenes to invoke the muse. This, we think, will be a lovely music session. All serenity is suddenly shattered, while the stair-wells re-echo the strident pandemonuim as concert practice begins again. The strings wail as the brasses climb, rough-shod, up the crescendoes; the drums bump and flutter in petulant fury. Again and again, vast rumbles mount upward, then spill out across the floors. After one particularly hideous burst of discord, someone screams, Stottenbottles! The musicians continue unfrustrated; they are accustomed to such critical appraisals. Eventually, the noise of earlier days of practice changes into sweet, harmonious melodies (recognizable tunes, if you please) which continue through months and then a year in which the band plays on, under the dynamic direction of its brilliant bandmaster, Mr. Kaarlo Mackey. 65 Rachel Byron, Joyce Crombie, Joonne McKee.

Our Cheeileading Squad Traditional morale builders are the cheerleaders. They seem to possess an inexhaustible amount of vim and vigor with which to bolster pre-game morale. Performing in front of the cheering section before every game, they are a colorful addition as they enthusiastically demand voluminous vocalizing. They are the masters of ceremony at all pep ra I lies; the general gesticulators of the gridiron. Never lacking student body support, they create a friendly feeling as they endeavor to cheer the Trojans to victory. The brawny amazons and fluffy lightweights give contrasting distinction to the squad. You can quickly distinguish vivacious, good-humored. Captain Margie Daggett from the other teamsters who are as follows: Janice English, with her perfect splits, Mary McDermott, with her snappy cartwheels; Margie Ried, with her winning ways; Nancy Needham, with her own distinctive brand of efficiency; Nancy Olson, with her lightning smile; Gloria Heckendorn, with her lusty exhalations; and Joanne Beals, with just too much vim for so small a girl. The reserve cheerleaders have practiced and performed faithfully, enthusiastically, and splendidly. Three cheers go to Janet Cousins, Joan Walsh, and Susan Zack! Directly responsible for this lively group is Miss Evelyn Dubinsky, whose tireless efforts and vivid personality have been most effectively utilized. 68 Seated: J. Mathews, J. Crombie, M. J.

Senior Play On the ninth and tenth of February at 8:00 P.M., the audience witnessing the annual senior play saw something they’ll remember for a long time. Where There’s a Will brought howls of spontaneous laughter from the audience. Thirteen talented artists combined their efforts to present an almost perfect dramatization of this play. Stage stars were Martha Douglas, Marjorie Daggett, Joyce Crombie, Mary Jane Patterson, Jean Mathews, Judith Weaver, Geraldine Julio, Robert Byron, Richard Oakes, Charles Campbell, Elmer Kitinoja, Robert Kauffield, and Richard Voelker. Under the able direction of Miss Mildred Gravette, assisted by prompter Karina Maenpaa and stage managers William Pinkerton and Harold Ladner, the play was presented with flying colors. The first act gave impetus to the story, as the plotting Mrs. Emerson, who was disgusted with a relative's will, attempted to inviegle money from Lorna, a cousin who didn’t believe in telling a lie. In the second act, Lily the maid was secretly converted into a detective by two scheming couples. A confusing situation arose as Lily's misunderstanding changed the boys discussion of automobiles into a discussion of the girls. Jealousy enveloped the second act as the boys tried to impress Lorna, only because of their interest in the money she was to inherit. The third act brought to light the plot of the story and Mrs. Emerson's confession of the whole affair. The fellows and girls departed happily, as did Mr. Hale, the Lawyer, and Mrs. Keith, Lorna’s mother. Mr. Macy, the book salesman left with Lorna, as Lily happily resumed her ironing for which she was best suited. Presented with superb dramatic ability, life-like expressions, and accented feeling, the play was acclaimed a hit by its viewers, as the high school auditorium held its capacity crowd for both nights. 70 — Honesty is the best policy — Row Is M.

Honor Society The members of this year’s Honor Society progressed nicely under the leadership of John Yesso, faculty adviser for the group. Membership in the Society is based upon scholarship, character, leadership, and service. This year, as part of an initiation procedure, the candidates for membership were given a general scholarship test, written and administered by the five senior members, elected during their junior year, and Mr. Yesso. These senior members were: Martha Douglas, president; Karina Maenpaa, vice-president; Margie Daggett, secretary; Robert Byron, treasurer; and Elmer Kitinoja. The senior members were Joyce Crombie, Jean Mathews, Judith Weaver, Florence Russo, Joyce Kamppi, Robert Kauffield, John Miller, Harold Ladner, and Mary Lou Waltz. Junior members were Irene Bradnan, Katherine Frazee, Joanne McKee, Susan Whitney, and Richard Megyesi. The impressive Honor Society initiation ceremony was conducted in the traditional manner % during a special assembly. One of the many activities in which the members of the Society engaged was debating issues of current interest during the weekly meetings of the Society. It can be said the Honor Society is truly a worth-while organization because of the many services its members perform for the school. 72 Row 1: J. Mathews. W. Pinkerton. R. Byron. M. Daggett.

Student Self-Government Many noticeable changes have been in evidence within and without our “hallowed halls” during this past year, and these may be attributed to the action taken by members of our Student Council. That new tune echoing throughout the school may be recognized as the “Blue and the White,” the new Alma Mater arranged by last year’s Music Major class and adopted by our present Student Council. You may have noticed, also, a more spirited and united cheering section at our football games; this resulted from the Council's decision to transplant the student body’s cheering section to the south wing of the stadium. The Council was comprised of the following homeroom representatives: Robert Byron, president; William Pinkerton, vice-president; Margie Daggett, secretary; Edward Lasko, treasurer; Robert Voelker, sergeant-at-arms; Jean Mathews, press reporter; Rose Preisel—senior members; Pearl Ann Walters, William Dombroski, Mary Lou Eades, Joanne McKee, and Richard Megyes All Council members worked peacefully together (without any peace-pipe ceremonies) under “Big Chief” Macmillan’s expert and welcome guidance.

El Club Espanol With a Si, Si and an Ay, Ay, El Club Espanol began the year as one of the school’s most active clubs. The first event was the initiation of nine newcomers, held at the home of Sally Bidwell. Then with these same high spirits they began to plan and plot an assembly program designed to give the audience an idea of Spanish Christmas customs. The assembly program was authentic, even to the Spanish accent in English words. Not entirely satisfied with this sole contribution, the club members made a special effort to push CARE week into ‘ high, and then, as their own contribution, the club donated ten dollars for a package to be sent to Europe. The officers of El Club Espanol were: Martha Jane Douglas, president; Ruth Matson, vice-president; Patricia Soares, secretary-treasurer. Under the dynamic direction of its club sponsor. Miss Evelyn Dubinsky, the organization was highly successful this year. 74 r fc K - Y I hi HI b' I n b Row 1 : N. Blevins, B. Brown, J. Komppi, D. Peck, P. Wise, R. Preisel. Row 2: R. Cox, F.
