In honor of this occasion, we wish to pay tribute to the men and women who have made Ohio a great and prosperous state. We also throw out a challenge to those who follow in their footsteps to preserve the ideals and institutions which they have so nobly fostered, in order that Ohio and the United States may continue to be a land of hope, courage, and freedom. SUPERINTENDENT J. H. WANAMAKER Congratulations and Best Wishes! Congratulations on having earned the right to be graduated from Conneaut High School; on having prepared yourselves mentally, emotionally, and morally to face and solve the problems of living in this modern world. Best wishes to you as you go forward in life, continuing your training and preparation either in college or in your employment, ever rendering yourselves more competent to wrestle with the tremendous challenges which confront us all. We have confidence in you and in your achievements. We feel that we can rely upon your judgment and your intelligence; we know you will not shirk from work or from duty; and we are confident that your honor, your integrity, and your faith in God and right will guide your activities in constructive paths. Conneaut High School is a better place because of you; our community, our nation, the world will be made better by your contribution. We are proud of you, Seniors of 1953! J. H. Wanamaker OUR ADMINISTRATORS There is one characteristic which, consciously or not, we all seek in those whom we respect or admire. That characteristic is integrity. It is the quality that makes one believe another person is sincere, honest, truthful and just. It is the quality that makes us respect a person even when we violently disagree with him. Macauley was undoubtedly thinking of integrity when he wrote “The measure of a man’s true character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.” With Integrity, Seniors, your lives will be successful even though you fail all material gains.

SENIOR DAZE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of the class of 1953 is so dramatic and colorful that it resembles a play. The play is in three acts, with two all too brief intermissions. The play was written by the actors as they played their parts under the direction of the principal, the Board of Education, and the taxpayers. This play is classified as a comedy, a tragedy, and something that will never be forgotten. All take place in the corridors, classrooms, gymnasium, and the auditorium of Conneaut Senior High School. Act I opens with the arrival of the Sophomores in the halls of learning. They are known as “Cookies” to the Seniors who promptly initiate them informally to make them understand what is to be expected from them in the years to come. The Sophomores, though timid and still a little scared, gather their wits and accomplish their first feat, the Sophomore Mothers’ Tea. The Sophomores finally settle down to acquire the knowledge that they have been told they would find here. Again something new puts in an appearance. It is called Study and is of great size and proportions. At the close of the act a tragedy seems imminent as there is a mental crisis created by examinations. But by one last spurt of their tired brains, the Sophomores win. After an intermission of three months, during which time the actors go away on vacations or stay at home and rest, the play is resumed. Act II shows the same people in the same place, but they are now known as Juniors. The actors are so changed that it seems like an entirely new play. Their position and their pride have both advanced, but there remains the dread of study. In this act the members of the cast seem to have acquired a charm or feeling of security. Love affairs are noticed, and the costumes are much more elaborate. The director allows the actors much more freedom than they have previously had. There are many delightful interludes to make this a cheerful act—such as, the sports events, band and choir concerts, the Junior Play, dedication of the new gymnasium, and the Junior-Senior Prom. By this time some of the actors have come more prominently into the spotlight, and their parts are of stellar proportions. Before the curtain falls, there again are the fatal Exams, but this time they are defeated by a much larger margin than before. Act III arrives at last, and by this time the actors have changed so much they are difficult to recognize. We have grown very fond of all the cast and realize that in a few short months they will be separated for the first time in three wonderful years. The action is more rapid than before. Football season has ended, but with a record to be proud of. The senior play, “Little Women,’ was truly a marvelous production. The annual Christmas concert, presented by the choirs and the spring concert presented by the band, furnished superior musical entertainment. Other events that will be cherished throughout the years are: Senior Girls’ Banquet, basketball season, Donovan’s Day, and Baccalaureate. The play ends in a burst of glory, speeches, music, and congratulations on May 27, Commencement Day. It may be that we have erred in writing this history. So we take this opportunity to say now that, in our far from humble opinion, the class of 1953 is the most brilliant and attractive of any class known to the school history, and will always be remembered by the faculty of Conneaut Senior High School. 77e TTaJUL TESTATOR JOHN WALKER JACK DECK BOB BENSON BESSIE HOLBROOK and FRANCES HOLBROOK SHIRLEY SHARP NORMA SIMONE MARTHA STUMP ELIZABETH SZALAI DICK TESSMER JOHN WALSH HARRIET WEAVER CHUCK WHITNEY ROSE MARY WOJTOWICZ MARIAN ZAPPITELLA NAOMI FELCH BILL JURY JOAN DUFFETT MARY LOU GOSCHE BETTY ENGLISH MARY MARGARET DOYLE DAVID STOLSON WAYNE ALTMAN and DOUGLAS MURPHY DICK TANTARI GARY HALL JOE RUNNER JOE DOBBINS ROY WOODWORTH and PAT VIGNAL “DUDY” NIELSEN RON FINDLEY JOE KEHOE JIM ADAMS PAT HENDERSON LEE GOVE DAVE KITINOJA ELLEN D’AIUTO LUCINDA JOHNSTON ERVIN HOLDEN ROGER HYDE EUGENE SELINE JACKIE MEAD MARY LOU DEWEY KEN BRUNDAGE YVONNE GOODALE FLOYD HUSTON LARRY KOONS RUTH ANDERSON ANN ARCARO ANTHONY ARCARO and RONALD FEDOUSH LORETTA BARTONE BEQUEST My political “pull” Apple polishing Old Jokes Our identical last names “Tallulah Bankhead” voice Posterboard, paint and brush Giggles Any available single boys School Horse Amazing dancing ability My speed Concession stand and a cold hot dog A set of Hamish Menze’s records All gum on seats My book of excuses One lock of my hair One pair of blue jeans “All of me” My smashing backhand in tennis All of my jobs Gift of gab Shyness (He needs it) Intense interest for many women My sincere quietness My Irish smile Our secluded corner Trusty No. 14 (Plus chalk) Cigarette hangover Unused Toni Jobs I thought about doing Golden voice and dangling earrings Witty remarks My undying love Tight skirts Unused bleach Address book My old Grandad Love for red hair Efficiency as Secretary Love letters Secretarial ability Knack for making good banana splits at the Creamery Interest in the better things of life My half of Waddle and Koons Navy interests Roving eyes Long, black tire marks on pavement Sweaters LEGATOR Marjorie Albee and Ellen Bax Donald Dye and Edgar Brown Edmund Brundage Juanita Snyder and George Snyder Elsie Morano Cherry Nelson Joan Mucci Lois Perry To whoever wants it Ralph Portzer Norma Phelps Richard Ritari Norma Sack Nancy Simone George Brown James Brown Ronald Carlson Anthony Gruber Audrey Fenton Andy Hardin Russell Meinke Tom Reddy David Bidwell George Lindgren Dave Runner Bob Stemple Ken Adair Nancy Zappitelli Alan Essig and Nancy Devlin Neil Simpson “Sam” Mowry Buck Cifelli Bill Winslow Audrey Wallis Marjorie Snyder Judy Justice Laura Dittler Gayle Cheney Bernard Ruettger Bradley McClellan Paul Ring Mary Russo Janet Connolly Carl Lemponen Edward Gildone Nancy Hazen Ronald Hakola Glenda Flegal Jannette Matthews A1 DiBaggio and Bill Davey Leeta Contino TESTATOR ARLENE BAKER SALLY HECKENDORN MARY ANN ELY TED DZIK MIDGE DE NUNZIO JANIECE FLORO HELEN LEGEZA SHIRLEY LOPEMAN ANN SHEEHAN FLOYD SPRAGUE LOIS LOUDEN and SHIRLEY JANDA DAN RING CHARLES RITTENHOUSE JANET JULIO LEONARD JONES SALLY EADES LEE ARP and JOHN DUFFETT TOM CAMPBELL BONNIE JACOBS CHUCK SCHLAICH JACK CHENEY BAILEY STUMP BARBARA DELLO DON KINNEAR PAT OLSON RICHARD ONION AGNES SWIFT FRED MONDA NICK KANANEN HAROLD LININGER MARY JANE KNOX RONALD MAENPAA JOHN PALO GEORGE SMITH MILES STRINE JACKIE WISE ELAINE LUNDGREN LILLIE MAE MARTIN PAT MITTLESTADT PAT O’BRIEN LOUISE PASSMORE DORIS PEARSON CHARLES THOMAS DELORES PICKENS IRENE PROUTY DAN RABER and JANE READ MARILYN SALO CHUCK AMIDON BEQUEST My piercing scream which drives referees wild My majorette strut Unused ambition Love for ladies Air of sophistication Some of my interests in Case Reserved seat on bus Radiant smile Nose for the news My model airplanes Secret smiles My ambition to become a cop Daily hour of sleep in Physics My flowing black hair My censored thoughts Reputation as “fou dePari” Library seats Backseat My little finger around which many boys have been twisted Women’s intuition The diploma I hope to get One used milk pail plus cold fingers Interest in basketball team Notes for $5.00 Ten easy lessons in “Square Dancing” My pitching arm My dancing lessons My extra muscle Nickname of “lovey dovey” My paper route My hotrod and license My parking meters at the point Success in love and politics Height My front pew in church Undaunted school spirit Post-graduate boys Technique for getting the family car Tube of Revlon “Fire and Ice” The name of “Marmee” My football interest My vitality End of the bench Gum-cracking Soft and gentle voice Pony translations Daring and Romantic night life Leaves ! ! !

On September 18, 1952, the Senior Class held their annual Chestnut Hunt at Girard Community Park, North Girard, Pennsylvania. The morning was ideal, but by noon rain was falling; however, this did not prevent the Senior teams, “Half Wit High,” “Pinhead Prep,” “Tooth Paste Tech,” and “Sinner Central” from enjoying contests of bubble gum blowing, water-filled balloon throwing, and many others. The school recorder provided music for dancing. At noon the teachers joined the group and enjoyed a delicious tureen dinner. Dancing and outdoor games, (including hunting for Chestnuts) continued until 2:30 p. m. Then the tired, but happy Seniors bundled into cars and returned home, thus bringing to an end the annual Chestnut Hunt. Committees for the Chestnut Hunt were: Food —Norma Simone, Chairman, Betty English, Norma Felch, Arlene Baker, Janet Julio, Elaine Lund-gren, and Marilyn Salo; Refreshments—Dave Kitinoja and Roger Hyde; Entertainment— Sal’y Eades, Chairman, Joe Runner, Jackie Wise, Sally Heckendorn, Bob Benson, and Duane Nielsen; Transportation—Chuck Schlaich, Chairman, Ron Fe-doush and Irvin Holden; Invitations—Mary Lou Dewey; Finance—Ruth Anderson, Joan Duffett, Mary Lynn Hall.

SENIOR CLASS DAY On the bright and sunny morning of May 21, the Senior Class was waiting eagerly at the Nickel Plate Depot to board No. 6 for Buffalo, where busses were stationed to take them to Niagara Falls. The train finally arrived with a special coach to accommodate the Seniors and their chaperones. When the Class reached Niagara Falls, they began unpacking their suitcases at the Clifton Hotel. The hotel literally buzzed like a bee-hive for two days, and the elevator was in constant use. During their stay at the Falls, the Class saw everything there was to see. Some of the Seniors took a conducted tour by bus to all the points of interest, while others ventured forth on the Maid of the Mist and down ino the Cave of the Winds, or took a leisurely ride around the the Falls in a surrey. Almost everyone spent some time shopping for souvenirs. One of the high points of the trip for the Class was seeing the colored lights on the American Falls. The Seniors will remember their Class Day trip for a long time to come and it is safe to assume that the chaperones will, too. The Class of ’53 and the weary chaperones returned to Conneaut on Friday evening. May 22, via the Nickel Plate Railroad.

We praise our faithful teachers, for the patience they have shown. We thank them for the leadership, which we have always known. We praise our parents, too, for worries they endured; For wisdom they have given us, for confidence assured. We’ll always cherish memories, of boys in blue and white. Of courage strong, of purpose high, that keeps our honor bright. We leave thee Alma Mater dear, the school we love so true. The goals we may someday attain, we’ll reach because of you. Backward we’ll look throughout the years; cur thoughts shall linger long. Of happy days we spent with you, friendships true and strong. Our Conneaut High we’ll never forget, no matter where we roam. In memories gay we’ll of’t return to the school we call our home. RONALD FINDLEY v oao w� � Trww7irj r� i -, -‘l ii ■ «■ i rtniu-Mtn.'T tf l SOPHOMORE MOTHERS' RECEPTION An autumn theme of gold, green, and orange streamers with sprigs of oak leaves decorated the center hall for the Sophomore Mothers’ Reception on October 8. Each mother was presented with a corsage of fall flowers. A lace covered table, decorated with a large vase of yellow marigolds, formed the background for refreshments of fruit punch and cookies. Phillip Suman, president of the Sophomore Class, gave the welcome address, and Ronald Ka-nanen, vice president, gave the formal greeting to the mothers. The musical portion of the program, which was held in the auditorium, consisted of: a flute solo, “Carnival of Venice,” played by Betty Dittler and accompanied by Sally Weppler at the piano; a piano solo, “Tico, Tico,” played by Annette Graham: and a saxophone solo, played by Carole Carmichael, accompanied by Annette Graham at the piano. Myrna Scott gave a humorous reading entitled “Oh, Mother.” A short skit entitled “Three is a Crowd” was presented. An old-fashioned street lamp and a park bench composed the setting. The characters in the skit were Madeline, who could not possibly walk another forty blocks, portrayed by Mary Kay Pauli; Ellen, Madeline’s little sister who tagged along, played by Millie Hakola; Eddie, who could not get his Dad’s car to take his favorite girl to the dance, enacted by Jack Martilla; Elmer, Eddie’s sly cousin, who got the car under false pretenses to rescue the weary Madeline, played by John Maney; and Mr. Johnson, who solved the whole problem in the end by allowing Eddie to take the car, portrayed by David Murphy. The following were the committees for the reception: table appointments, reception, decorations, refreshment, and guest book. LEFT TO RIGHT—Pe gy Wheeler, Mrs. Wheeler, Phil Suman, Mrs. Kananen, Ronald Kananen. LEFT TO RIGHT—Joseph Runner, Mrs. Archie Runner, Joseph Dobbins, Mrs. Ralph Dobbins, Mrs. Paul Murphy, Douglas Murphy. SENIOR MOTHERS' RECEPTION taught the Class of ’53. The Teachers were Miss Laura Salisbury, Miss Faye Welch, Miss Bessie Beardsley, Miss Nellie Kinney, Miss Elizabeth Tinney, Sister Joan of Arc and Miss June Sprouse. Decorations consisted of a large Maypole with pastel colored crepe paper streamers which occupied the center of the lower hall, a fan-shaped arrangement of spiraled crepe paper as a background, and cherry and peach blossoms to create a spring effect. Students participating in a program of drama and music were Sally Heckendorn, Sally Eades, Harold Lininger, Pat O’Brien, Ann Sheehan. Roy Woodworth. Roger Hyde, Yvonne Goodale, Mary Margaret Doyle, Duane Nielsen, Joe Runner, and Patricia Henderson. The announcer for the program was Dan Raber. The annual reception for the Senior Mothers was successfully held on Wednesday, May 6. As the Mothers entered the East entrance of the High School they were greeted by a large welcome mat reading “Welcome Senior Mothers,” and a reception committee composed of Superintendent and Mrs. J. H. Wanamaker, Principal and Mrs. J. H. Wolfe, Mrs. Ralph Dobbins and Joe Dobbins, Senior Class president, Mrs. Doroth Baker and Arlene Baker, Senior Class vice president, and Miss Lottie E. Peck, Mrs. Bernice Miller, and D. F. Macmillan, Senior Class Advisors. After all Mothers were registered and seated in the center hall, Joseph Runner and Mrs. Paul Murphy gave the Welcome Address and Response, respectively. Arlene Baker then extended a personal welcome to the first grade teachers who had SENIOR GIRLS' BANQUET LEFT TO RIGHT—Sally Heckendorn, Chief Engineer; Ann Sheehan, Skipper; Judy Justice, First Mate; Joan Anderson, Deckhand. The Senior Girls of the Class of ’53 produced one of the most successful banqquets in several years on February 26, 1953. From the three classes, 164 girls gathered at the Evangelical United Brethren Church at 5:30 P. M. to enjoy an excellent meal and fine entertainment. Chairman of the decorations, Mary Margaret Doyle, and her committee, carried out the nautical theme in a unique style. Anchors, telescopes, and miniature sail boats adorned the tables, while a large scale ore boat added to the “salty” atmosphere. A huge sailboat, The U. S. S. Conneaut High, attracted much attention. “Senior Girl” fish and “sea horse” teachers were caught in a fish net that covered one wall. Captain Ann Sheehan was the Navigator for the evening. She sailed a smooth course with the aid of her Chief Engineer, Sally Heckendorn; First Mate, Judy Justice; and Deck Hand, Joan Anderson. The crew held the passengers spellbound with entertaining speeches. A program of musical numbers was presented, revealing some exceptional talent among the Seniors. The beauty of the Class of ’53 was displayed in a novel little play called Girls Must Talk. The ship docked at 8 P. M. and the happy crew went ashore. Hard work and co-operation had resulted in a successful voyage. FOOTBALL BANQUET LEFT TO RIGHT— Charles “Chuck” Mather, Head Coach Massillon Hifch Timers; Gene Seline; Lou Saban, former Captain of the Cleveland Browns. Gene Seline—popular with both his team mates and class mates—was the proud winner of this year’s coveted Ojajarvi Trophy. Highlighting the football banquet, the Trophy was presented to Gene as an award for his sportsmanship, his value as a team man, and the Americanism he displayed on the field throughout the season. Guest Speakers for the occasion were Charles (Chuck) Mather, head coach of the perennial state champion Massillon High Tigers, and Lou Saban. former linebacking star and captain of the Cleveland Browns. In his brief address Saban praised former Trojan athletes, Leo Cifelli, Elmer Kitinoja, and Don Smith, with whom he had come in contact at Case Institute of Technology. Until recently Lou has been employed there as football coach. Chuck Mather, whose boys at Massillon have won 37 of 40 games during his four-year tenure there, gave an ironically humorous account of his first coaching experiences in Brilliant, Ohio. The first season, 1937, his team lost seven of eight games. “The eighth game,” Mather jokingly admitted, “fortunately was cancelled due to bad weather. About the only thing we won that year was the toss which decided the kicker and receiver.” The Massillon coach lauded Yesso and the Trojans on their fine record and had special praise for Conneaut product, Jim Hietikko. He concluded his talk with the Massillon football slogan: “We work to be good—if we aren’t good, we have no one to blame but ourselves.” Introduction of the Trojan squad by Yesso followed Mather’s talk and a movie short, “Touchdown Town,” shown by Mather, concluded the program. More than 275 people participated in the banquet honoring the Trojans, and it was sponsored by the American Legion.

LITTLE WOMEN On the evenings of November 20 and 21, 1952, members of the Senior Class, directed by Donald Tamburro, presented Arthur Jearue’s “Little Women,” by Louisa May Alcott. The eldest sister, Meg, was gracefully portrayed by Louise Passmore, who kept house during her mother’s absence. Mary Margaret Doyle was the rollicking tomboy, Jo, who was recognized by her slang, striding walk, and boyish gestures. Arlene Baker was the shy Beth, the once cheerful, rosy girl who contracted scarlet fever, and left an empty silence in the house by her untimely death. Bonnie Jacobs, the pretty little Amy, was a slightly selfish girl, who liked to put on airs and pronounce big words. Patricia O’Brien was a serene, lovable, well-poised Marmee, and her husband, enacted by Charles Amidon, was a congenial, affectionate father. Norma Simone, as Hannah, the March’s maid, amused all with her incorrect use of grammar and terse method of self-expression. Sally Heckendorn portrayed the stern, yet lovable, crochety Aunt March, who had all the money in the family. Joe Runner characterized the dashing, but lonely “Laurie,” whom Jo befriended, but Amy later married. John Palo played the part of John Brooke, Meg’s bashful lover, who said, “I do,” in the end. Bob Benson, Laurie’s wealthy grandfather, liked the antics of the four March girls. Roy Woodworth, who portrayed the German Professor Bhaer, encouraged Jo to continue her writing in New York. The four girl friends of the March’s who came to see Joe’s Christmas play entitled “The Witch’s Curse,” were Ann Arcaro, Loretta Bartone, Mary Jane Knox, and Lucinda Johnston. JUNIOR PLAY STANDING—Juanita Snyder, Charles Hardin, Arthur Arvay, Bill Winslow, Ellen Bax, Laura Dittler. SEATED—Beverly McCann, Janet Connolly, John Baker. DEAR RUTH The Juniors, under the direction of Donald Tamburro, presented a very entertaining performance of Norman Krasna’s two-act comedy, “Dear Ruth,” on the evenings of April 9 and 10, in the Senior High School auditorium. The play takes place in the Wilken’s home on Long Island during the Scond World War. Judge Harry Wilkens and his wife, Edith, have two daughters, Ruth and Miriam . Miriam, the teenager, is extremely patriotic. She is such a devoted patriot that she writes sixty letters to a flier named Bill Seawright, in order to bolster his morale. The only mistake she makes is signing Ruth’s name instead of her own. The family finds out about Miriam’s letterwriting shortly before Lt. Seawright rings their doorbell. None of them has the heart to tell him the truth. Since Bill has only a short leave, Ruth agrees to play along. Ruth’s fiance, Albert Kummer, a local banker, does not like this pretense. Albert, somewhat of a stuffed-shirt, becomes the jealous lover and for good reasons, but to Ruth and Bill and the Wilkens family he becomes a nuisance. Mrs. Wilkens thinks Bill is “so implusive.” He showers Ruth with love and affection, especially in the form of daffodils and crackerjacks. as that is what she said she liked in her letters. The maid is completely frustrated when gifts arrive every hour on the hour. Meanwhile, Martha Seawright, Bill’s sister, arrives, and so does her ex-fiance, Sgt. Chuck Vincent, by a trick of fate. This causes complications, but they are finally married by Judge Wilkens. Bill receives a phone call from his commanding officer, to the effect that he does not have to return to Pacific duty, but will be stationed in Florida. Bill asks Ruth to marry him, but she reluctantly says “no.” Miriam, fooled into thinking that Ruth finally has told Bill the truth, confesses everything to him. He realizes how ridiculous the whole affair seems and leaves abruptly. However, everything brightens up as Ruth decides that she doesn’t care for Albert. Bill, fortunately, comes back, and after a whirlwind wedding, he and Ruth leave for Florida. But, before the final curtain, a sailor, Harold Klobbermeyer, arrives and asks for Miss Ruth Wilkens. It then becomes apparent to the Wilkens, that Miriam’s letter-writing only began with Bill Seawright. The cast included: Judge Wilkens, John Baker; Edith Wilkens, Janet Connolly; Ruth, Laura Dittler; Miriam, Beverly McCann; the maid, Ellen Bax; Bill Seawright, Arthur Arvay; Albert Kummer, Charles Hardin; Sgt. Chuck Vincent, Bill Winslow; Martha Seawright, Juanita Snyder; and Harold Klobbermeyer, Harvey Kananen. Members of the Dramatics Club constructed the set and worked backstage on the production. INITIATION Sophomores, wearing very fashionable burlap bags, the latest in patched blue jeans, long hose and tennis shoes of every size, shape, and color trooped into school on the memorable day of October 25, 1952. The boys wore attractive, brightly-colored bandannas and clothes pin earrings for accessories. The Sophomore girls displayed a new hair style which consisted of ten pigtails. Throughout the day, the Sophomores honored the Seniors and obeyed their every wish. In the evening, the Sophomores presented a very amusing program of entertainment for the Seniors. They bobbed for apples in charcoal water, drank buttermilk and carbonated water, held dress relays, threw eggs at each other, and jitterbugged. The most comical event was the dressing relay. The girls dressed as boys and vice versa. Even though the boys became quite twisted up in feminine attire, they managed to win. After the initiation, the glowing Seniors and the bedraggled Sophomores enjoyed cider and doughnuts served in the center hall. The “Cookies” were then officially accepted and became full-fledged Sophomores.

TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION ENTERTAINS SENIORS AT VALENTINE DANCE THIS IS HEAVEN LEFT TO RIGHT—Bob Benson, Lucinda Johnston, Queen Arlene Baker, Kinjr Joe Dobbins, Pat Vignal, Roy Woodworth. In a heavenly atmosphere created by midnight blue crepe paper and sparkling silver stars, Joe Dobbins and Arlene Baker were crowned king and queen of the Junior-Senior Prom by Junior Class President Neil Simpson, on the evening of May 15 in the Junior High Gymnasium. The theme “This is Heaven” was carried out in unique decorations. “Pearly” gates with golden harps welcomed the guests upon their arrival. The orchestra was seated on a little white cloud be- neath a large star suspended in the center of the gym. Attached to the star were streamers of midnight blue crepe paper which whirled out to the walls of the gym, where they were caught and held by silver stars. All who attended the prom agree that this year’s Junior-Senior Prom was a big success, thanks to the hard work of the Juniors and their faculty advisors. TATTLER STAFF EDITORIAL—Standing—J.

STUDENT COUNCIL STANDING—A1 DiBaggio, Phil Suman, Carol Marker, Nancy James, Dolly Kennedy, Neil Simpson, Phil Dobbins, Darrell Maukonen. SEATED—Roy Woodworth, Joe Dobbins, Sally Kay Heckendorn, John Palo, Dan Raber. The Student Council of Conneaut High School again proved the necessity of student government in promoting good pupil-faculty relationships. Membership consists of homeroom representatives, elected by the student body. The Council’s capable advisor is Mr. Wolfe. Every Monday the Council assembles to talk over the problems of the school. During the first week of each semester, a new corps of officers is elected. Serving the first semester were: Joe Dobbins, president; Roy Woodworth, vice president; Carol Marker, treasurer; Sally Kay Heckendorn, secretary. Second semester the following were elected: Roy Woodworth, president; A1 Di-Baggio, vice president; Dolly Kennedy, secretary. Other members of the Council are Dan Raber, John Palo, Neil Simpson, Darrell Maukonen, and Phil Dobbins. Student Council presented a sample meeting before the entire school, at which time Mr. Wolfe awarded pins and officially installed the Council members into the National Association of Student Councils. This is the first time that the Conneaut High School Council has belonged to the National order. The Council’s fall scrap drive financed a payment on the public address system, and the spring scrap drive raised money for a contribution to the Athletic Association. One of the most useful and much appreciated accomplishments of the organization was the installation of a public phone in the center hall. The duties of the Student Council vary from arranging Teentown dance schedules and planning assemblies to participating in such activities as the March of Dimes’ porchlight campaign. All dances and class functions must receive recognition from the Council. Paid assemblies and movies are financed by its funds. Student Council gives valuable experience to our future civic leaders by teaching them proper parliamentary procedure. HONOR SOCIETY STANDING—L. Contino, J. Snyder, N. Sack, C. Speer, P.

The committee’s aim is to instruct the students in the best methods of protecting themselves in case of an atomic attack. DRAMATICS CLUB Dramatically speaking, C. H. S. is buzzing, thanks to the professional skill of the Dramatic Club. Under the capable direction of Mr. Tamburro, the Club has become very adept in the arts of make-up, costuming, building sets, and acting, as was quite obvious in this year’s Senior and Junior class productions, “Little Women” and “Dear Ruth.” In addition to backing these two full length plays, the Club presented the Christmas assembly. The members of the Club journeyed to Kent State University this year to attend the Drama Clinic for Northeastern Ohio High Schools. They also attended various stage productions at neighboring high schools. The highest honor the Club pays to its members is the awarding of its pin .which is based on merit and service. Those receiving Dramatics Club pins this year were: Arthur Arvay, Mary Margaret Doyle, Harvey Kananen, and Perry Woodworth. The officers of the Dramatics Club are: President, Arthur Arvay; Vice-President, Harvey Kananen; Secretary, Annette Graham; and Treasurer, Carole Carmichael.

CHEER LEADERS LEFT TO RIGHT—Donna Cline, Arlene Baker, Lucinda Johnston, Jackie Wise, Beverly McCann, Ann Arcaro. Under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Graham, the cheerleaders entered the sports spotlight again this year. The teamsters displayed another full year of enthusiastic moral support. Their working together night after night, day after day, resulted in fine cooperation and a tremendous willingness to bid our hard-hitting Conneaut Trojans on to victory. Win or lose, they backed their spirited teams. Rain or shine, they continued their yells and demanded the cheering voices of the never-lacking student body. Together, they formed the fortune wheel of the gridiron and the hardwood. Exhibiting an inexhaustible amount of vim, vigor and vitality, the cheerleaders led colorful pep rallies in school and throughout the town, to bolster pre-game morale. Their snappy cartwheels added contrasting distinction to the squad. To be a cheerleader, a girl must have passing grades, must be able to turn a perfect cartwheel, must conduct herself properly, must be a good sport and must be courteous at all times. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Smith very generously supplied the transportation for the cheerleaders to and from all the games.

FOOTBALL The 1952 football season began September 5, minus the traditional “Blue and White” intrasquad game, as the “Men of Troy” journeyed to Niles, Ohio, to take on the Niles McKinley eleven in the windup of a pigskin preview. Lettermen in the lineup this season, who were out to keep an eight-game winning streak going, were: Co-cap-tains Fred Monda and Ron Fedoush, Gene Seline, Roger Hyde, Dick Tessmer, Gary Hall and Joe Dobbins. The opener found the Trojans in Meadville, Pennsylvania, playing the hefty Bulldog teamsters. An early three-touchdown spree was found by the Bulldogs to be too much to overcome, as Conneaut racked up number nine in a row by a score of 20-14. Monda grabbed the spotlight as he bucked the line and traveled some 60 yards to “paydirt” for the first score of the 1952 season. Early in the second period, “Cowboy” Snyder scampered around the end for 76 yards and Con-neaut’s second touchdown. Snyder scored again in the second period from the three-yard line to wind up the Trojan scoring. A week later, on September 19, the Trojans played host to Ashtabula Harbor’s Mariners. In the “get’m early” spirit, Joe Dobbins skirted around end to score the first touchdown. Monda’s placement was wide and the score stood at 6-0. In the second quarter Snyder went 72 yards around end on a beautiful touchdown gallop for Conneaut’s second score. Again, the extra point was no good. After a couple of attempts by Harbor, deep in Conneaut’s territory, they were stopped by a fast-charging Conneaut forward wall. Snyder took the pigskin on the 15 yard line and raced 85 yards, untouched, for the third touchdown of the night. A third time, the placement failed. Monda added a 75-yard jaunt and an extra point before Harbor’s passing attack took effect for their one touchdown. A 25-6 victory made it ten wins in a row for the Yessomen. Out for win number eleven, the Trojans met the Geneva Ea es at home grounds on the night of September 19. The Trojans scored first, as the story goes throughout the season, when Bob Benson intercepted a Geneva pass. A few plays later, Monda pushed his way over from the one yard line. Monda tallied on his point after the touchdown. Late in the initial period, Love raced around end for Geneva and Hunt added the extra point. The remaining three periods were strictly “dog-eat-dog.” After the 7-7 tie, Conneaut held up a fine record of eleven wins without defeat. October 3 was Dad’s Night in Conneaut. Monda took the spotlight as he tore the Tiger invaders apart by scoring four touchdowns of 21. 4. 1, and 2 yards. An extra point brought Fred’s total for the night to 25. An 18-yard jaunt by Snyder and three extra points, a total of 9, finished the scoring for the Trojans. The Dads of the players were the proudest people in Conneaut as the Trojans remained undefeated in twelve games by downing Youngstown Rayen, 34-19. On October 10, Conneaut met an old rival in Ashtabula. The Trojans hit “paydirt” first as Monda smashed the middle of the line from the one yard line. Snyder’s try for the extra point failed, but he added a score, a touchdown, from the 10 yard line late in the first period and Monda’s foot was good for a halftime score of 13-0. Late in the game, Conneaut’s forward wall held the Panthers for three tries on the one-inch line before they scored. A 13-6 win made it thirteen wins for the Trojans. October 17 found the Trojans badly battered for the Homecoming game, but Conneaut proved its determination to win by blasting St. Stanislaus of Cleveland, 49-19. Snyder scored on runs of 92, 6, 1, and 75 yards. Joe Dobbins came in second with sprints of 25 and 24 yards. A seventh run was added by Mowry from the two-yard marker. After a 26-0 defeat last season, the Fairport Skippers sent Conneaut’s fourteen-game unbeaten streak up in smoke. Monda score a lone touchdown for the Trojans on a 68-yard run in the 20-6 defeat. The invasion of Erie Academy ended in a 14-6 triumph for the “come-back kids” of Conneaut. Snyder, who was held under check most of the game, scored both touchdowns. As of then, the Trojans’ season record read as follows—six wins, one tie and one defeat. The Trojans ripped up Warren St. Mary’s for the second straight year in a 20-13 contest, marked as “Jim Hietikko Night.” Monda uncorked runs of 4, 30, and 3 yards for the night’s touchdowns. The season ended with a total of seven wins, one tie, and one loss. TROJAN SENIORS ★ Joe Dobbins, who filled positions at fullback and right half, although weighing only 155 lbs., was noted for his line smashing and effective defensive work. Cocaptain Fred Monda, 190 lb. bulldozing back, plowed his way through enemy lines for numerous TD.’s. ★ Dick Tessmer, 165 lb. tackle, one of the best team men, who was always in the thick of the battle as was Co-Captain Ron Fedoush, 155 lb. guard, who was the best lineman on the team. Bob Benson, 160 lb. halfback, was a Trojan blocking specialist and ‘‘Buzz” Thomas was one of the team’s best reserve defensive blocking backs. TROJAN SENIORS ★ Chuck Whitney, a defensive stalwart, and Dick Onion, lineman, gave the Trojans good reserve backing and moral support. ★ ★ The Trojan’s field general was 170 lb. Quarterback Gary Hall, who showed fine ball handling and passing ability. ★ ★ Roger Hyde, 170 lb. center, was the outstanding key blocker on the team. Gene Seline, rangy left end, was a good defensive man and ace pass-snatcher. ★ BRING HOME THE BACON “Cap” Donovan’s Panther killing, intensely exciting, “Bring Home the Bacon” assembly once again received tremendous acclaim throughout Conneaut High. Evidence of this was that deeply satisfying triumph over our arch rival—the Ashtabula Panthers. The assembly began on a solemn note with a dignified dirge played by the pep band. Accompanying this musical lamenting were two Trojan sentinels—Roger Hyde and Fred Monda—who bore the stretcher inscribed “The End of Cap” to the stage. The procession was completed by Duane Nielsen, personal attendant and body guard of the esteemed deceased. As the mourners reached the stage, the auditorium was enshrouded in a cloak of darkness and “Cap’s” skeleton, accented by an eerie green light, descended from its celestial cloud. Regretting that he could not attend the “big” game, “Cap” reminded us that he and other Trojan fans above would be cheering the team on in spirit. Then Cap ascended. During the course of his speech, “Cap” was threatened several times by the menacing panther (“Cowboy” Snyder) but he subdued the panther with a shot from his pistol. The cheerleaders’ chant of “We Want Cap” soon swelled to a clamor by the student body. The sentinels then accompanied a very much alive “Cap” to the stage in a triumphal march. He lauded Coaches Yesso and Garcia midst the cheers of the pupils. Then the team in full uniform rushed onto the stage. Co-captains Ron Fedoush and Joe Dobbins presented “Cap” with two pounds of bacon to show their confidence in winning the Bula game. “Cap” then, bestowed the bacon upon Coaches Yesso and Garcia, thus concluding the ceremonies. LEFT TO RIGHT—Co-Captain Fred Monda, Queen Louise Passmore, Co-Captain Ronald Fedoush. HOMECOMING The limelight surrounded Louise Passmore on the night of November 10, when she reigned as Conneaut High’s Homecoming Queen in the victory of the Trojans over St. Stanislaus School. Her Highness’ Court was composed of Seniors Sally Eades and Arlene Baker, Juniors Dolly Kennedy and Juanita Snyder, and Sophomores Eula Page and Sue Ann Walsh. The Queen was presented with her crown and bouquet of baby white chrysanthemums during the half time by Co-Captains Fred Monda and Ronald Fedoush, and she also received the traditional kiss from them. The Conneaut High School Marching Band played “The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” during the coronation. Following the game, the Queen and her court attended the Homecoming Dance held at the gym in her honor. Chuck Schlaich’s Orchestra played music for dancing as the Queen and her Court reigned in regal majesty. CENTER—Queen Louise Passmore.

BASKETBALL The first basketball season in our new Junior High Gym ended with a 13-9 win-loss record. This record, however, doesn’t tell the true story of the 1952-53 season, as fans that witnessed the games will agree. The Garciamen began slowly but displayed a spectacular finish, as they were edged out of the tournament by Euclid in the second game. Their first win came over the Cathedral Latin High School team. ★ ★ November 28—Ashtabula Harbor The Trojans initiated the ’52-’53 season by playing host to the Harbor Mariners. Fading in the last half, the Conneaut five dropped a 42-40 opener, with Adams scoring 14. ★ ★ December 5—West Springfield A slow game, but a victory, was the story as the team handed the West Springfield five a 42-33 setback. Kehoe was high man on the totem-pole with 12 points. ★ ★ December 9—Painesville Like their first game, the Trojans dropped a close two-pointer to Painesville by a score of 57-55. Seline and Hall tallied for 14 points apiece. ★ ★ December 12—Girard The Trojans “reopened” the season when they gave the Girard, Pennsylvania team a 59-36 licking. Not only did they hit the baskets, but they also displayed a strong defense. Tantari stepped into the spotlight by scoring 17 points. ★ ★ December 19—Fairport In a close game all the way, the Trojans came out victors as Adams dropped in a last-second basket to turn the Fairport Skippers away with a 50-47 score. Seline was high with 14 points. ★ ★ December 30—Alumni The annual Alumni game turned out to be Conneaut’s third two-point loss of the season. Ex-Trojan, “Skip Palo”, scored 17 points; Seline netted 12. ★ ★ January 2—Ashtabula Time was the main factor in saving Ashtabula as the clock cut Conneaut’s rally short, leaving a 53-50 score, with the Trojans on the light end. Seline set the pace again with 22 points. January 6—West Springfield The Conneaut Courtsters provided many thrills as they pushed a tight game into a 45-35 win over the spirited West Springfield team. Tantari scored high with 16, as Conneaut marked up a fourth win of the season. ★ ★ January 10—Jefferson It was a night of foul shooting on Jefferson’s part, but the Trojans came through to win the game by a score of 56-42. Tantari came through with a high score of 18 points. ★ ★ January 13—Wesleyville The Trojans played a badly outclassed Wesleyville team for a score of 66-31, with the reserves taking charge in the last half. Seline and Adams teamed up with 14 points apiece. ★ ★ January 16—Millcreek The Conneaut Trojans came out on the short end of the scoring, but not in performance, as the Millcreek team played an unimpressive game. Seline again came out high with 7 points. ★ ★ January 23—Geneva Conneaut showed a new last-half surge, only to be defeated at the hands of Geneva by a score of 68-51. Gary Hall netted 18 points for the home team, and the win-lose record for the season was set at 6-6. ★ ★ January 27—Linesville Conneaut came out victors in a foul shooting contest with Linesville with a 63-43 score. Three Garciamen—Hall, Kitinoja, and Seline—were dismissed from play with fouls. Adams scored 17 points. ★ ★ January 31—Rowe The annual March of Dimes contest with the “team across the bridge” ended in a score of 69-46 in favor of the blue and white. This game made it five victories apiece in the ten-year life of the games. Captain Tantari came through with 17 points. ★ ★ February 7—Geneva The home team was shaded out, 52-47, in a “razzel-dazzel” game with Geneva. Conneaut showed great improvement over the last meeting with Geneva, even though defeated. Again, Seline came through with 20 points. BASKETBALL CONTINUED February 10—Ashtabula As with other teams, Conneaut showed enough improvement to beat Ashtabula, 51-38. This worked the first victory over the Panthers in five long years. Totals for the game gave Seline 13 points. ★ ★ February 13—Ashtabula Harbor Harbor supported a perfect home season—that is, until the much improved Trojans invaded. In the second over-time period, Tantari and Kehoe each sank a basket, after stealing the ball from the Mariners’ hands. Seline turned in a high score of 23 points for the season. February 20—Erie Academy Conneaut lost a 52-43 game to Erie Academy as they experienced an “off night.” Even though the baskets were hard to find, Seline chalked up 16 points. ★ ★ February 21—Fairport The last game of the season was a contest of “keep away,” started by the Fairport five. The final score, 28-24, proved that Conneaut did the better freezing job. Tantari came through with 15 points. TRACK TOP ROW—D. Herpy, B. Swift, J. Whitehill, D. Roach, J. Risley, D. Braun, B. Julio, A. Cifelli, P. Miller. SECOND ROW—Coach Yesso, D. Bidwell, A. Morano, R. Mowry, A. DiBaggio, J. Adams, L. McGovern, T. Reddy, D. Maukonen, B. Davey, Coach Garcia. BOTTOM ROW—G. Hassler, D. Kitinoja, C. Schlaich, G. Hall, Captain D. Nielsen, F. Monda, R. Fedoush. The 1953 track season for the Trojans was highly successful, as the record shows. A highlight of the season was the near-winning bid for the title at the Lake Shore Invitational meet. A well balanced team of cindermen, lead by seniors Duane Nielsen and Fred Monda, finished second to Mentor. “Dude” made an impressive showing by remaining undefeated throughout the season. He turned in his best performance of the year in the invitational. He ran the 880 yard run in 2:07. Fred was at his best in the invitational when he put the shot 50 feet. Other standouts were our top notch 880 relay men—Ronald Mowry, Ronald Fedoush, David Bid-well, and Ben Swift. These boys took several first places throughout the season, as well as a first place in the invitational. Junior Jim Adams, who has qualified for the state finals the past two seasons, turned in his best pole vault at Columbus —11 feet, six inches—but failed to place in the stiff competition. Gary Hall, Conneaut’s other representative at Columbus, reeled off his best discus throw of the year, a long 139 feet, but again high-classed competition prevented point making. In dual meets this year the Trojans took four in their favor and lost only two. Both losses were to a strong Erie Cathedral Prep team by identical scores, 62% - 55%. In the other dual meets the Garciamen downed Painesville Harvey, 75% to 42%. Hall lead the field with three out of nine Conneaut firsts. On April 14 the Trojan thinclads handed our all-time rival, Ashtabula, a 71 to 47 drubbing. “Sam” Mowry won the 100 and 220 yard sprints to lead the winners. Geneva was out-classed by the Trojans, 87 to 31. In this meet the tracksters notched eleven of the fourteen events. Conneaut made a clean sweep of all point making places in four events—the 100, 440, pole vault, and broad jump. Mowry placed first in three events to lead the Trojans again. Rowe was another victim of the well-balanced Conneaut track squad. The Trojans came out on top by a score of 58 to 23. In triangular meets, the Trojans took two out of two. In the first meet, Conneaut out-pointed Ashtabula Harbor and Albion, 82-50-16. In the other, Conneaut trimmed Ashtabula Harbor and County Champion Kingsville, 64-43-36. A seventh place in the District Meet in Cleveland and a sixth place in the Mentor Relays ended a highly successful season for the Conneaut Trojans.
