In September, 1947, we began three years which were filled with activities. There, waiting to greet us “cookies” were the brutal—or so we thought—seniors with the sophomore initiation. This was a “royal” greeting, as we all can recall. Having been properly initiated into the halls of learning, we elected James Miltner as class president. In order to start our high school careers right, we brought our mothers to school for the Sophomore Tea. Our class was the first to have a Sophomore Tea and we hope that it will be continued as a custom of C. H. S. Miss Artello and Mr. Garcia, our class advisers, were very helpful in guiding us through this critical year. The following September we re-entered the “bright shining hall of Minerva’s hallowed home”—this time with more confidence. To lead us, Richard Megyesi was chosen as class president. Our highlight came near the end of the junior year; and working on and looking forward to the Junior-Senior Prom, we found it well worth the long wait. For the first time our class voted to have a semi-open prom—that is, for juniors and seniors and invited guests. The Prom was carried out in a “May Day” theme and was a memorable event for all who attended. Our very helpful class advisers were Miss Ashelman and Mr. Sayre. It was September, 1949, and we, far wiser than we were the previous two years, eagerly began our final year. We chose Robert Voelker to be the president of the Class. In order that the sophomores might “feel at home,” we held the Senior-Sophomore party. We all had fun initiating the youngsters: putting the girls' clothes on backwards and dressing the boys in ultra fashion. We think they enjoyed it— deep down—as much as we! We remember the Chestnut Hunt held at Girard Community Park. Although no chestnuts were found, many bruises were received (by girls as well as boys) during the terrific games of football and baseball. For the annual Homecoming game the Trojans chose Evelyn Davison as Homecoming Queen. We felt very proud of her as she was escorted to the field by her court of attendants and the Trojan co-captains, Tony Arcaro and Chester Roberts. The Senior Play, “Midnight,” was presented under the direction of Miss Peck. It was a mystery which kept everyone on the edge of his seat. The cast showed that our class had, among other things, dramatic ability. The Senior Girls’ Banquet provided a merry time for the girls of all classes, as well as teachers and guests. During the fall our foot-oall team achieved many thrilling victories. At every game was our snappy marching band to provide entertaining half-time shows. Also there were our spirited cheerleaders. Later, the basketball team was there to provide many exciting moments in which victories were wrested in the last few seconds of play. The track team, too, had its share of victories, individually, rs well as a team. Our band went on a concert tour and our A Cappella choir went to the contest at Kent and then they joined together to present the Annual Spring Band and Choir Concert. Then came a series of events which left us all in a daze—the Prom, during which everyone was bubbling with merriment; Class Day, which left us full of glee; Baccalaureate, which gave us spiritual blessing and enlightenment; and then May 25, our Commencement, when we received our diplomas and abandoned the halls of Conneaut High School to begin a new era in our lives.
