The TATTLER = 1 956 = Conneaut Senior High School Conneaut, Ohio DED CA TION MISS LORENE KENNEDY W C. t le graduation class of 1956, dedicate our Tattler to one of the most capable, interesting and friendly teachers with whom we have had the pleasure of associating during our twelve years of school Miss Lorene Kennedy will be remembered by the class not only because of the friendly and respected teacher-student relationship which she maintained but also because of the knowledge of American History which we received through her guidance. The Class of 1956 has dedicated this book to Miss Kennedy to show her its appreciation and also to express to her each class member’s sincere hope for a successful and happy future. 2 MEM OR! AM In memory of Maurice J. Maney, our beloved Junior High School principal wno died on March 13, 1953, in our ninth year of school, we inscribe these words in admiration and affection Mr. Maney had a high regard for the ethics of his profession, and with firm resolve tempered with quiet dignity and gentle good humor he conducted the affairs of the school accordingly. Never austere or harsh, he appealed to both teachers and students as a friend rather than as a remote disinterested administrator. We shall always remember his kindness, sympathetic understanding and tolerance. These salient traits won for him a permanent and endearing place in the hearts of the whole community. His passing has left a shadow where his friends meet and his footsteps in the sands of time endure in the minds of all who knew him. We pause to brush a few highlights on the self portrait of John Cherry, our beloved art teacher, who died February 23, 1956. The pertinent pithy bits of philosophical wit which flowed from the tip of his tongue have etched his memory in our hearts and minds, just as the master strokes of his brush have enriched the community with the handicraft of his art. His voice is stilled and his easel lies idle, but his art lives on as a glowing tribute to his memory. MR. MAURICE MANEY 3 MR. JOHN CHERRY ALMA MATER O HAIL, ALMA MATER. WE HONOR THY NAME; EACH BRAVE SON AND DAUGHTER SING PROUDLY TIIY 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 MEMORIES MOST FAIR. THY NAME, ALMA MATER. WE RAISE TO THE SKY. WE JOYFULLY PRAISE THEE. O CONNEAUT HIGH. 4 ADMINISTRATION MR. JAMES WOLFE Principal Congratulations and best wishes, Seniors! Ten years from now we expect to begin to hear of vour successes in your chosen fields in the adult world. How well we, as teachers, have done our jobs, will be measured by the effect your high school training has upon your becoming good and useful citizens. How well you, as students, have learned your lessons, will be reflected in your future achievements. Let us hope that we have both been successful! TO THE CLASS OF 1956: As we extend to you our congratulations on the completion of your public school education, and our best wishes for even greater achievements in the years ahead, we want also to assure you that we have the utmost confidence in your integrity, your ability, and your determination to succeed. The world today presents to youth tremendous challenges, with new and different frontiers to conquer. The frontiers which you must face, and which you and other youth who follow you will conquer, are the frontiers of human relations; of personal, social, racial, and international cooperation and good will; of man’s faith in his God, and in the ultimate triumph of right over might. We have enjoyed the years we have spent together, the achievements and satisfactions we have shared, the experiences we have had together. We look forward with confidence and optimism to your efforts to make yourselves and your world continually finer and better. We have no doubt of your success! MR. J. H.

English 11 CLASS POEM Like all good things, school days must end. A new way lies around the bend. Where’er we travel from pole to pole A finer America will be our goal. Fame and fortune, whate’er you seek. Be courageous and be meek. Banish all envy, deceit, and hate, For all these lead to disastrous fate. We’ll find, I know, education pays Countless times in countless ways. And though we scatter far and wide. School days we’ll cherish with love and pride. Teachers were our friends indeed. In times of trouble, doubt, and need. We thank them for their guiding care And look ahead with humble prayer. 12 —Barbara Coddin WALTER BRAUN Vice-President WILLIAM MARTIN President President 2. 3; Vice-President I; Key Club 2: Basketball Concessions j; Student Council 1. 2. 3: Chestnut Hunt 3: Scrap Drive 1. 2. 3; Honor Society 2; Soph.

CAMERA SHY CHARLES HAWES JAMES THOMPSON CLASS HISTORY On September, 1944, about 150 six year olds were dressed in their best clothes, had their hair combed and their ears washed, and for the first time in their young lives entered a school as students. After a few additions and a few losses, this was to be the graduating class of 1956. The next six years of elementary school were wonderful ones for us. We met and learned to get along with other children. We had parties and put on programs. Most important of all, however, was that we were receiving a basic education, a foundation for life. At the end of our sixth year, there was some sadness at leaving our old school and much wondering about the new one we would enter. In the fall of 1950, this group of young people came together for the first time in one place, Con-neaut Junior High School. A great deal of our seventh year was spent getting to know our many classmates, becoming acquainted with the school and teachers, and learning to get from one class to the next in what seemed a very short three minutes. By the end of our first year in Junior High, we were settled in the routine of the school. The eighth grade was highlighted by the building of houses in our math classes. In our ninth year we were joined by students from Monroe Township and Saint Mary’s Schools. During this year we were all shocked and saddened by the death of our beloved principal and friend Mr. Maurice Maney. At the end of the year we received our Junior High School diplomas, and once again were saddened at the thought of leaving an old friend, our school. In the fall of 1953, we entered the halls of Con-neaut Senior High and immediately felt that we belonged. We didn’t really mind three flights of stairs, although we complained. Our class officers were Wally Braun, president; Bill Martin, Vice-President; Sandy Sheehan, Secretary; Pat Cousins, Treasurer. We had parties and dances, but we did our share of studying, too. The social highlights of the year were the Sophomore Mothers Tea and the Sophomore Spring Dance. Our Junior year was a full one. We ordered and received our class rings. We had a football and basketball star in Ronnie Hinkle, who made the All-County Basketball team. Athletic team captains for the next year were elected. Our Junior Class Play, a comedy entitled “Time Out for Ginger”, was a success. Thirteen members of our class were initiated into the National Honor Society. Our Junior-Senior Prom, with the theme, “Cinderella’s Ball”, was a beautiful and successful dance. Our officers this year were president, Bill Martin; vice-president, Wally Braun; secretary, Sandy Sheehan; treasurer, Tony Julio. Now we entered our Senior year, the last we would spend at Conneaut High. We showed our approval of our Junior officers by re-electing them. Our first social activity as Seniors was the Chestnut Hunt. Although we found no chestnuts, we all had a nice time. Our big football game of the season with Ashtabula was Homecoming, and Sally Lacey reigned as queen. The class registered another success with the Senior Play, “Gramercy Ghost.” In football, one of our co-captains, Mike Zappitello, was given all-state honorable mention and also received the Ojajarvi Trophy. Our basketball season was a good one which found Ron Hinkle receiving honorable mention in the state. Tony Julio was awarded the basketball trophy. After hanging up a fine track record, the boys chose Ron Hinkle to receive the trophy. Our last party as a group was held in April and we honored our mothers at the Senior Mother’s Reception in May. We all enjoyed the Junior-Senior Prom, thanks to the fine work of the Juniors. Baccalaureate proved a solemn and impressive occasion which we shall not forget. Class day found us in Pittsburgh enjoying our last day together. Our last act as Seniors of Conneaut High School was our graduation which proved both sad and joyous. Now we stand on the threshold of adulthood. None of us are really sure what the next years hold; some will go to college, others will start work immediately. Let us hope that these years will hold as much happiness and good fellowship as the past twelve years have held. —Hazel Dewey. 27 SENIOR MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Alden Shanower Jane Dudley MOST TALKATIVE Tom McDermott Sheila Milne WITTIEST Bruce Markijohn Elaine Sumner MOST POPULAR Pat Cousins Bob Anthony MOST ATTRACTIVE Bev Dye Jim Hall BEST PERSONALITY Sally Lacey Garry Prince 28 MOST ATHLETIC Elaine Oberweiser Ron Hinkle PERSONALITIES MOST MUSICAL Bill Bachman Barbara Lewis MOST DEPENDABLE Shirley Martin Bill Martin TALLEST AND SHORTEST Louie Snyder Barbara Raistrick BEST DRESSER Judy Kangas Dave McDowell SHYEST Eldon Huston Mary Ann Gates BEST DANCER Joy Mundi Jesse Contino MOST DRAMATIC Sandra Sheehan Alan Whitney 29 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Finally, after many years of waiting, our dream had come true. We, Sandra Sheehan and Sally Lacey, had saved enough money from our teaching salaries to take a trip around the world. Before we left for Europe, we spent a week in New York City. Much to our disappointment we failed to get tickets at the sell-out in Madison Square Gardens where Ronald Cropeck was defending his heavy-weight crown. Arriving at the airport just in the nick of time, we were helped aboard by our gracious hostess, Carole Arp, who offered us a selection of literature to read on the flight. We chose the recently published books, “How We Snared Our Favorite Man” by Joyce Vacco, Mildred Braden, and Carol Bro-kaw, and the Pulitzer Prize winner “The Art of Sleeping While Standing” by Tom Jury and Bob Marshall. The flight seemed to go so swiftly that we questioned the speed. When Carole explained that Tom McDermott was the pilot and Vince Par-longo the co-pilot, we understood. At the airport in London, we chanced to meet Hannah Kerner, Judy Kangas, and Lucille Bartone, who were returning to the United States after attending the “World Wide Women’s Gab Session” held in England. Of course, while in London, we had to visit Jesse Contino, who has made a fortune designing the fashionable “Soleless Shoe.” Jesse told us that “Mayberry and Napp’s Nifty Nick Nacks for Household Uses Corporation” was doing a thriving business in the west end of the city. We also visited the fashionable apartment of Sheila Milne and Ruth Butterfield in the theatrical district, where we learned of their success in musical comedies. They told us that Hazel Dewey, one of the few women to speak in the House of Commons, had recently given a remarkable oration and as a result has gained world-wide fame. On our way to France, we flew over the English Channel where we got a glimpse of the famous swimmer, Pat Weaver, who was making a world record in swimming across the Channel. Her trainer, Emory Shobe, was following in a boat. Landing in Paris, we were met by Joy Mundi and Carol Constantine, who are executives in the “Preferred Perfumes of Paris, Inc.” Their perfume experts, Anne and Rose Pignotti, have just concocted a new perfume called “Share It, Don’t Spare It.” It has been estimated by Justices of the Peace, Douglas Hakola and Willard Hall, that marriages have increased 56% since the perfume has been put on the market. We set one night aside to attend the opening performance of “Peter Pan” directed by Alan Whitney. We especially enjoyed the leading lady, Pat Smith. We took a short trip to Switzerland where we stayed at “The Happy Haven For Hopeless Hoboes” owned and run by Wally Braun, Jim Hall and Ron Richer. It was here that we met the noted mountain climbers Bruce Markijohn and Bill Bachman. They were visiting this mountainous country in order to conduct experiments with Tom Gee’s new invention, jet-propelled skis. Cutting our stay short, we continued on our way to sunny Italy. In order to catch up with the current news, we bought a newspaper. One article that caught our attention was by foreign correspondent Charlie Hawes, in which he had written about Jane Dudley’s experiences as governess to the children of Princess Grace Kelley and Prince Rainier III in Monaco. We visited Barbara Lewis, who is superintendent of “Lewis’s Home For Tired Pizza Makers.” Of course, we had to visit Rome where, to our surprise and pleasure, we happened upon the poet, Wesley Stevens, in the ruins of the Colosseum. Wesley told us that the impressive atmosphere of the ancient ruins put him in the mood for writing. We were very happy to see the original copy of Bob Anthony’s famous painting, “La Mess,” which won first prize in the annual Eldon Huston Foundation Art Contest. Eldon has made an immense amount of money from his gasoline-driven kiddy car. Two of his top salesmen are Jerry Grice and Jim Thompson. Singing in the opera in Rome, was our famous classmate Albert Anthony. We attended “The Barber of Seville” in which he had the leading role. Taking a cruise to Spain on one of the luxurious boats that belonged to the “Oehlenschlaeger Pleasure Fleet,” we had the enjoyable experience of being entertained after dinner by the unique act “Tessmer and Slocum’s Professional Fleas.” The little insects did an excellent job and much credit should be given to the tireless efforts of their trainers, Evelyn Thomas, Joyce Baker, and Pat Morano. A short time later we arrived in Africa. We visited the famous French Foreign Legion, where we discovered Bill Martin, Ron Hinkle, and Dan Moroski, who have renounced the frivolities of life, and have devoted themselves to the Legion’s cause. Their ability to speak French has helped them immensely. Traveling deeper into the interior of Africa, we encountered an unusual safari which was departing for the heart of the jungle to distribute “Carducci’s Little Liver Pills” to the natives. The enthusiastic leaders of the expedition were Elaine Oberweiser and Sandra Jacobs, with their equally enthusiastic followers Karen Rap-pold, Judy Cool, and Joyce Cheney. Barbara Cod- 30 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ding also was going along with the group to lecture the natives on the advantages of “Armstrong’s Effective Mousetrap.” Equipped with mosquito netting, tents, and insect repellent, the girls braved the dangers of the jungle for this worthwhile cause. They were planning to reach the southern tip of Africa in a few months where they intended to visit the famous diamond mines belonging to Bill Cutshall and Joe DiFilippo. We crossed the Sahara Desert by way of “Reim-holz’s Rugged Camel Caravan.” On the way we came across Dave McDowell, who was on location in this part of the world while making the famous operetta “Desert Song.” His leading lady, Reda Passmore, was practicing on a nearby sand dune as we passed by. Being so close to the Pyramids of the Nile, we were conducted through the ancient ruins by the guide, Martin Conoboy. In the evening, after a day’s tour, we were very content to sit by the fire and listen to the camel leader Don Kauppila strum out a few Egyptian melodies. We boarded our boat for India at Bob Jury’s “Red Sea Boat Livery” and arrived in Bombay in time to attend the festive occasion in honor of the return of the celebrated snake charmer Anita Wil-berg. Anita is giving a free performance in the hope of increasing new interest in the field. While we were there, we visited the United States Ambassador, Richard Howland. Richard told us that the standard of living had been greatly improved due to the tireless efforts of Welfare Directors Mike Zappitello and Louis Snyder. This has caused some decrease in “Kitchen and Kruger’s Funeral Directors Service.” Taking an airplane to Shanghai, China, we were met at the airport by several rickshaws. We didn’t recognize our drivers, Eleanor Kelley and Mary Ann Gates, in their Oriental clothes until they helped us carry our luggage into our hotel. While we were there, we ate all our meals at Margaret Schlaich’s Tea House. Margaret told us that her good friends Mary Phillips and Hazel Fox had gone into the manufacturing of chop sticks. Their biggest buyer is Virginia Roland, who is the owner of an authentic Chinese restaurant in the United States. Staying in Sumatra for a few days, we were the guests of Alden Shanower and Garry Prince whose rubber plantation is inhabited by herds of elephants. They told us that they shipped many of the animals to elephant trainer Pat Cousins. Australia was our next stop. We attended a lecture at Darwin featuring Beverly Dye and Lois Starks. The topic of their speech was “The Comfort of Wearing Bermudas in Warmer Climates.” We also saw the expedition of Shirley Martin and Kay McGovern who had just returned from selling “Brunke’s Bouncing Springs” in the kangaroo country in the interior. On our plane trip to Hawaii, our pilot, Clyde Zappitella, pointed out to his passengers a small secluded South Sea Island where Jim Pataky resides in his bachelor’s quarters the year around. We were enthusiastically met by the official wel-comers, Elaine Sumner and Lettie McNutt, who scurried around giving orchids to the passengers and making everyone feel right at home. We visited Douglas Cummins’ and Leroy Maleckar’s factory which produces grass skirts and ukeleles. One afternoon we went to lunch with Evelyn Brook-houser, the founder of “Brookhouser’s Better Pineapples, Inc.” She told us she had just read in the morning newspaper that Tony Julio had been appointed to head the Treasury Department of the United States. We finally returned to the United States soil and decided to tour California for a few days. While we were in Hollywood visiting complexion expert, Janice Bortz, we chanced to meet Richard Higley. Richard owns a beauty salon which is patronized by the celebrities. Richard is famous for his ability to dye and achieve authentic looking red hair. We made our way to Texas to visit oil tycoon John Hall, whose ranch is said to be the biggest in the state. Having already made a fortune, John has turned his attention to breeding cows. The sole responsibility of caring for the animals is in the hands of veterinarian Barbara Gray. At the Huston airport we met Richard Ferl, the campaign manager for the candidate for governor of the state, Richard Palagyi. He told us that Richard was receiving strong support from the Huston Herald whose editor Kay Aldrich is doing everything possible for his election. Richard gave us two tickets to the Kentucky Derby which was to be our next stop. Of course, we placed a small bet at the race track with Howard English on the horse ridden by jockey, Barbara Raistrick. Our last stop before returning home was the Indianapolis Speedway for the stock car races. We were very fortunate to see Bob Meinke break his own speed record. We also had a chance to talk with Bob Terry who is in charge of the wreckers and crews at the speedway. Although we had traveled around the world, our last stop at Conneaut was the one we enjoyed the most. We were met at the station by Mayor Lee Dalrymple who was quite anxious to hear of our experiences abroad. It was a pleasure to be able to tell him of the successes of our old classmates and their contributions to society. 31 SENIOR GIRLS’ BANQUET Rose Pignotti, Elizabeth Hanks. Evelyn Thomas. Delores Huston. Hazel Dewey. IT’S A WOMANS WORLD “It’s a woman’s world, stars dance above, It’s a lovely world.” This line taken from the song, “It’s a Woman’s World,” the theme of the annual Senior Girls’ Banquet, described the dining room of the First Methodist Church on February 16, 1956. The favors, wall and table decorations and programs were in accordance with the color theme of silver, blue, and red. Stars gleamed here and there from pillars which were covered with crepe paper. Miniature cardboard girls with attached nutcups served as favors. The programs were in the shape of a girl’s face and her matching bonnet strings were held with a small globe. A fish net covered with stars labeled with different professions served as a background for the speakers’ table. Speakers for the affair were introduced by Toastmistress Evelyn Thomas. The girls, who represented their individual classes, were Hazel Dewey, Delores Huston, and Elizabeth Hanks. Grace was offered by Rosemarie Pignotti. At the conclusion of the dinner, an interesting program was presented. 32 SENIOR MOTHERS’ RECEPTION Standing: Sandra Sheehan. Hazel Dewey. Bill Martin. Seated: Mr . Paul Sheehan, Mrs. Henry Deway, Mr . Caroline Martin. The mothers of the graduation class of 1956 were honored on the afternoon of May 9. 1956, at the annual Senior Mothers’ Reception in Conneaut Senior High School. The lower hall was decorated with twisted crepe paper streamers in pastel yellow, pink and blue. At the foot of each stairway were vases of forsythia, daffodils, and cherry blossoms. The seniors met their mothers and introduced them to their class officers and senior class advisers. Each mother was presented with a carnation corsage after registering in the guest book. William Martin introduced Hazel Dewey, who welcomed the mothers and thanked them for all they had done through the years. Mrs. Paul Sheehan sDoke on behalf of the mothers. A program consisting of musical numbers and a play, “Concert in the Park” was given in the auditorium. Refreshments of punch and cookies were served in the lower hall at the conclusion of the program. 33 CLASS THE CLASS OF 1956 of the Senior High School of the City of Conneaut in the County of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, being of sound mind but bad memory, do make, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament.

CLASS OF 1956 35 The graduating class of 1956 climaxed their year’s activities with a class trip to Pittsburgh. Three bus loads of seniors joyfully left Conneaut on the morning of May 28. Lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day fo their trip, the seniors enjoyed the scenery on the four hour journerf to Pittsburgh. A stop was made at the West Side Park where the group toured an aviary and later a matinee performance of the Cinerama was attended. The next stop on the day’s activities was a visit to Pittsburgh’s Greater Airport. The time allotted at this stop went very quickly as there was much to see. The group ate dinner at the Pine Valley Inn where music and dancing were enjoyed before starting home Accompanying the seniors were Mr. James Wolfe, Mrs. Richard Graham, and Mr. D. F. Macmillan. 36 SENIOR SNAPS 37 Row 1: Ronald Hinkle, William Bachman, Evelyn Thomas, Sheila Milne. Row 2: Robert Marshall.

Again the rare chestnuts eluded the seniors on their annual Chestnut Hunt. This year the exuberant seniors traveled to Girard Community Park on September 27, 1955. A lunch of hot dogs and baked beans was served to the students and faculty members by the hardworking Food Committee. Then the girls changed from “timid little lambs” to rough and rugged football players and the game began. A decided victory was brought home for the girls because of their speed and strategic maneuvers. Toward the end of the day, rain began to fall so the party moved under the big pavilion where square dancing was enjoyed. School cheers were boisterously led by several male members of the class to the amusement of all. The group left for home at 3 p. m., tired, a bit damp, but happy. Chaperones were Mrs. Richard Graham, Mrs. Bernard Miller, and Mr. D. F. Macmillan. 40 JUNIOR ROOM 21 Row Is Ruth Forsty. Elsa Ciccone, Myrna Basen. Constance Cousins, Doris Dickson.

Joe Colangelo acted as master of ceremonies. 43 SOPHOMORE MOTHERS’ RECEPTION Using a fall theme to decorate the lower hall, the Sophomores of Conneaut High School welcomed their mothers to the annual Sophomore Mothers’ Reception on the afternoon of October fifth, 1955. Green and orange streamers adorned the ceiling while the pillars were strung with brown and green crepe paper. Carrying out the theme of autumn, pumpkins and corn shocks were placed throughout the hall. Phyllis Wanamaker gave the welcome and Mrs. J. H. Wolfe on behalf of the mothers, gave the response. Tom Sumner, class president, introduced the speakers and announced the program which was held in the auditorium. 49 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Seated: Marlene Randall, Secretary; Antonette Pizzi, Treasurer.

The Student Council of Conneaut High School has again proved how necessary it is to have an organization that promotes good pupil-faculty relationships. With the help of their adviser, Mr. Wolfe, the council carried out many worth-while projects. Officers for the first semester were Alden Shanower, president; Jesse Contino, vice-president; Joyce Kangas, secretary; Robert Ritari, treasurer. Those elected to serve as officers for the second semester were Jim Hall, president; Robert Ritari, vice-president; Rita Bacon, secretary; and Barbara Lewis, treasurer. The proceeds of the council’s annual scrap drive went to help pay for the new score board and to further the work of the council in the school. Not only did the organization sponsor the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine Dances, but they also were in charge of the enjoyable Talent Assembly Program. Funds obtained from these activities are partially used to pay for movies and the use of the public telephone. 53 Row 1: Lettie McNutt, Rose Pignotti, Lucille Bartone.

This annual event is sponsored by the American Legion for the purpose of acquainting these students with the problems of running a state government and with the hope that through this experience they will obtain a better knowledge of the complicated workings of such an organization. Standing: Wally Braun. Alan Whitney. Ron Hinkle. Jesse Contino. Seated: Elaine Oherweiser. Tuture Teachers A new organization, The Future Teachers of America, was formed this last year. A special day was set aside for Teacher Career Week and twenty-nine members took a closer look at teaching as a career. They spent a day in the city schools observing classes from the teachers’ standpoint. In some cases of elementary grades, the future teachers took over teaching duties themselves for a few minutes. Officers of the club were Alan Whitney, president; Sandra Sheehan, vice-president; Sally Rositer, secretary; Sally Lacey, treasurer; Peggy Phillips, historian; Marlene Randall, librarian; and Delores Lea-man, parliamentarian.

Many thanks should be given to the members of this club for the time and effort they have given so willingly to promote an interest in dramatics among the students. The members should be congratulated on their achievement in make-up and in designing stage scenery. Club members who were accepted into the National Thespian Society were Lenora Copeck, John Wheeler, Irene Biggins, Sue Davison, Marlene Randall, John Groger, Evelyn and Kathryn Brookhouser, Joe Hassler, Theresa DiPlacido, Robert Johnson. Jean McDowell, David Olmsted, and Sheila Milne. 58 The “VARIETIES of 56” On February 23 and 24, the A Cappella Choir sponsored the “Varieties of 56“ to raise funds to pay for the new choir robes. The program featured a male quartet, dance team, dance band, girls’ ensemble, vocal solos, and many other enjoyable acts. Master of ceremonies for the program was Larry Ogren and the director was Kaarlo Mackey. “CAINE MUTINY” An unusual production in the dramatic field this last year was an all-male cast which presented the two-act drama, “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.” The group of boys excellently enacted the stirring and dramatic court-room scene in authentic costumes. The boys, who were under the direction of Mr. D. J. Tamburro, deserve a great deal of credit for their hard work. The cast consisted of Dave McDowell, Robert Gleason, Alden Shan-ower, Robert Johnson, John Wheeler, John Groger, Douglas Hakola, Alan Whitney, Walter Braun, Douglas Cummins, Ron Hinkle, Joe Hassler, Martin Conoboy, Garry Prince, and Charles Friedner. 59 Seated: Shirley Martin, Hazel Dewey, David McDowell, Sandra Sheehan, Ronald Richer, Dougli Hakola. Standing: Beverly Dye, Sheila Milne, Wally Braun, Matt Carducci, Dan Moroski, Jane Dudley. Gramercy Ghost On November 17 and 18 the Conneaut High Seniors did themselves proud with their presentation of “Gramercy Ghost’’ by John Cecil Holm. The play centered around the comic situations that occurred when a young lady inherits a soldier ghost from the Revolutionary War. The cast included Sandra Sheehan as Nancy Willard, the recipient of the ghost Nathaniel, played by Douglas Hakola, who attempts to straighten out her life. Ronald Richer played her Boston-bred fiance, and Dave McDowell enacted the part of the appealing newspaper reporter, Charley Stewart. The kind housekeeper, Margaret Col- lins, was Hazel Dewey, while the comical lady lawyer, Miss Ames, was Shirley Martin. The part of the Irish policeman was portrayed by Walter Braun, with Beverly Dye and Sheila Milne as the ambulance drivers. The ghost’s cronies were enacted by Matthew Carducci, Daniel Moroski, and Jane Dudley. The play was under the direction of Mr. D. J. Tamburro, assisted by Alan Whitney. The script girl was Sally Lacey, and the prompter, Lois Starks. Ticket sales were under the direction of Mr. Jack Broughton, and usherettes under Mrs. Richard Graham. The scenery and back stage arrangements were in charge of the Dramatics Club. 60 Row 1: Delores Leaman, Marlene Randall, Sue Davison.

The Little Foxes On March 22 and 23 the Junior Class gave an excellent performance of Lillian Heilman’s “The Little Foxes” in the high school auditorium under the direction of Mr. Donald Tamburro. A cleverly designed set consisting of a living room, hallway with winding stairs, and a dining room, served as the background for the stirring drama in three acts. Marlene Randall, as Regina Giddens, enacted the scheming, domineering wife of a sick husband, John Hopper, and the sister of two equally sly and unscrupulous brothers, played by Robert Johnson and Robert Gleason. The shy and sensitive sister-in-law, Birdie, was portrayed by Sue Davison, while the part of Regina’s sweet daughter was played by Delores Leaman. John Wheeler played the role of the boisterous young son of Birdie and Oscar Giddens, while Kathryn Brookhouser and Barry Merrick portrayed the warm, heartening parts of the Negro servants and old retainers of the family. Thomas Hyland, as William Marshall, enacted the part of an industrialist from Chicago. The script girl was Theresa DiPlacido and the prompter, Linnea Smith. Ticket sales were under the direction of Mr. Jack Broughton, and usherettes under Mrs. Jack Yohe. The scenery and back stage arrangements were in charge of the Dramatics Club. 61 SOCIAL COMMITTEE Lef.; co right: Carole Arp, Dick Howland. Anita Wilberg. Carol Constantine, Beverly Dye.

AN EVENING IN PARIS All the charm of the great cosmopolitan city of Paris was brought to life at the annual Conneaut High School Junior-Senior Prom, May 18. As the Juniors, Seniors, and their guests entered the gym, they were transported magically across the ocean to spend “An Evening in Paris,’’ the theme of this year’s prom. A flagstone wall surrounded a softly lighted garden which provided the entrance. The garden featured a white trellis and pool. A white winding cobblestone walk led from the stage to the dance floor. A light gray flagstone wall set apart the gay cafe district from the dance floor. Colorful red and white striped awnings extended over the sidewalk cafe tables, while the background of red brick walls accentuated the gaily decorated tables. A replica of the Eiffel Tower was set up in the center of the dance floor. The light of the tower’s revolving beacon caught the reflection of the white stars in the midnight blue of the ceiling. The crowning of the King and Queen took place in the garden setting after the prand march. Jim Dombroski, president of the Junior Class, was general chairman of the prom. Mr. Andrew Garcia was master of ceremonies.

On March 9, 1956, new members were initiated into the National Honor Society at an impressive candle light ceremony in the High School auditorium. The senior members, with lighted tapers, ascended the semi-darkened stage and formed a half circle, with the new members in the background. Walter Braun, representing the Spirit of the Honor Society, called upon Evelyn Thomas, Hazel Dewey, Barbara Lewis, and Patricia Cousins to speak for the spirits of scholar- ship, leadership, service and character. As their names were called off by the Herald, Sandra Sheehan, each new member came forward and lighted his candle from the President’s taper. To be eligible for membership in the National Honor Society, a candidate must be outstanding in leadership, scholarship, character, and service. Officers of the organization are President, Walter Braun; Vice-President, Hazel Dewey; Secretary, Jane Dudley; and Treasurer, Patricia Cousins. 66 Senior Band Members Row 1: Pat Weaver, Hazel Dewav.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT Another happy and busy year came to a close for the Conneaut Band and the A Cappella Choir. This year the members of the choir gave up part of their lunch hour each day in order tc practice. As a result of their efforts, the choir received Superior rating in the district contest and an Excellent rating in the state contest. Both the choir and band gave many outstanding concerts. In the spring of the year the Band took a trip to Meadville and Franklin, Pennsylvania. At Meadville they heard the High School Band, and at Franklin they heard the Navy Band. With this year’s graduation, many band seats will be left vacant. Twenty-two senior band members will have completed their musical education under the direction of Mr. Kaarlo Mackey. 67 BA 00 CLARINETS TENOR SAXOPHONES William Bachman Sandra Hudson Darlene Peaspanen Barbara Lewi Jesse Contino June Bort Robert Gleason John Hopper ALTO CLARINET Carol Brokaw Jean McDowell ALTO SAXOPHONES Beverly Dye Fred Rankinen Jane Dudley BASS CLARINETS Delores Huston Anita WilberR Nora Mae Kitchen James Carducci Ruth Forsty Shirley I.asko Diane Carey BARITONE SAXOPHONE Joyce Rath TROMBONES Jane Wolfe Roberta Koons Frank Nagy PeRRy Phillips Ronald Hinkle EARITONES Phyllis Wanamaker Alan Whitney David Macmillan Bonnie Page James Hall David Smith Ruth Razetn Garry Prince Karol Hietikko Gary Hall BASSES Aldcn Shanowcr Darwin Bagnall Michael Carducci John Groger STRING BASS Hazel Dewey OBOES Patricia Cousins Delores Leaman BASSOONS Linnea Smith Marvin Bort CORNETS Bruce Markijohn Evelyn Thomas Douglas Cummins Wendell Kitchen Arlin Vines Tom Hyland Allan Marthaller Douglas Randall Gerald Miller FRENCH HORNS Susan Manniko Patricia Weaver Carol Sahl Carol Kangas Elizabeth Sundstrom PERCUSSION Walter Braun Evelyn Brookhouser Ronald Northrup Kenneth Sahl Dixie Kultti FLUTES Linda Sundstrom Lois Starks Paula Maukonen Sandra Spees Ann Perry Darla Taylor Marjorie Dudley o vO A CAPPELLA CHOIR Row 1: Row 2: Row 3: Row 4: Joyce Rath, Bonnie Page, Jean McDowell, Barbara Gray, Ruth Butterfield.

FOOTBALL REVIEW The Trojans proved their ability to play against better teams. They could boast several lettermen going into the 1955 season, but actually had only one seasoned performer, Ron Hinkle. Conneaut fans’ hopes were shattered as the Trojans dropped the first regulation game to Warren St. Mary’s 8-6. From the beginning low point, the Trojans went up to defeat Ashtabula Harbor 27-6, as Hinkle scored two touchdowns, one on an 80-yard run. Conneaut kept rolling and bulldozed Geneva Eagles 27-0, as Hinkle again broke loose for a 75-yard run. The Tro- jans then moved to their home field to gain their twentieth straight home victory by whipping University Prep 18-0. The Ashtabula Panthers had to spoil this record at the Conneaut Homecoming by taking a 12-6 win in the next home game. This spoiler was the first Panther win over Conneaut in five years. In the next game Conneaut had to overcome its streak of fumbling to blast Fairport 9-0. The Trojans then hit their peak as they treated a football Dad’s Night crowd to the roughest game of the year. 72 COACHES Coaches: Buck Peaspanen and Andy Garcia. Before the eyes of their admiring fathers, the Conneaut gridders trounced the Erie Tech team 26-20. The game which featured rough play and many flaring tempers, was not so close as the score indicated. Coach Elmer Peaspanen managed to clear his entire bench after gaining an early lead. Another low for the Trojans was in the game with St. Joseph’s when the Saints rallied to tie the Trojans 7-7 in a real thriller. In the final game of the season, the Trojan first team was sent to the showers early as the local team scored 8 touchdowns and took an easy 51-13 victory. In the post-season whirl 13 Trojans were mentioned on the All-County squad. Ron Hinkle and Mike Zappitello gained first-team berths, while Ron Cropeck and Bob Jury were named to the second team. MA NAGERS Managers: Tony Julio Richard Dibbs. Bob Cox, Tom McDermott. 73 SENIOR Lee Dalrymple. Bob Anthony, Dick Krueger. Lee Dalrymple, a good halfback, helped the team both offensively and defensively. Bob Anthony, quarterback, showed fine ball handling and passing ability. Dick Krueger, was a good utility backfield man. Jim Pataky, rangy end, was always in the thick of the battle, as was Louis Snyder, tackle. Dick Howland, center, was a sure place kicker, and likeable Le-Roy Maleckar, center, was rough on the opposition. Jim Pataky, Louis Snyder. Dick Howland. LeRoy Maleckar. 74 STARS Mike Zappitello, Ron Cropeck. Jim Hall, Bob Jurv. Co-captain Mike Zappitello, tackle, was noted for his quick reactions, while Co-captain Ron Cropek, lineman, proved to be an immovable anchor on his side of the line. Guard Jim Hall possessed spirit and determination and Bob Jury was the toughest man on the line for his size. An ace passer was quarterback Albert Anthony. Hard-working LeRoy Brunke was a quick-running halfback, while fullback, Ron Hinkle, was the fastest man in the backfield. Willard Hall, tackle, was one of the team’s best reserve players. 75 HOMECOMING Connie Cousins, Rita Bacon, Pat Cousins, Queen Sally I.acey, Anita Wilberg, Shirley Crossing, Sally Kositer. On October 14, 1955 coronation ceremonies highlighted the Conneaut - Ashtabula Homecoming football game as Queen Sally Lacey was crowned by last year’s queen, Carol Marker. Her attendants were seniors, Anita Wilberg and Patricia Cousins; juniors, Connie Cousins and Sally Rositer; and sophomores, Rita Bacon and Shirley Crossing. Forming a lane for the Queen and her attendants as they came to the raised platform for the crowning ceremony, was the Conneaut School Band. The Queen received her traditional kiss from co-captains Ron Cropek and Mike Zappitello as they presented her with her crown and bouquet of flowers. The Queen, as is customary, was gowned in white, while the members of her court wore the same type of strapless formals with bouffant skirts in shades of yellow, pink, and blue. The Queen and her attendants reigned at a dance held in their honor at the Junior High Gym after the game. 76 DONOVAN’S A SSEMBL Y The Ashtabula Panther again was slain by “Cap” Donovan at the annual “Bring Home the Bacon Assembly” on October 14, 1955. In spite of the powerful potion cooked up by “Cap” and his Trojan sentinels at the assembly, the Ashtabula Panthers succeeded in winning the annual encounter at the Homecoming game bv a score of 12-6. Cap Donovan, Queen Sallv Lacey, Ashtabula Panther. DAD’S NIGHT The proud fathers of the Trojan gridders were honored October 28, 1955 at the stadium, when the power-laden Erie Tech Centaurs met their defeat 26-20. Each bearing the number of his son, the fathers were given a place of honor on the sidelines. During half time, some of the fathers “jitter-bugged” with the majorettes, to the amusement of spectators in the stadium. 77 Mike Zappitello FOOTBALL BANQUET On November 21, 1955 the annual Conneaut Football Banquet was held in the Junior High Gymnasium. Highlighting the affair was the awarding of the Ojajarvi Trophy tc Mike Zappitello. As a memorial to S Sgt. Charles and Lt. Reino Ojajarvi, who lost their lives in World War II, the award is made annually by the Cowle Post 151, American Legion. The outstanding player is judged on sportsmanship, value as a team mate, and Americanism. Leonard Hoppes was the guest speaker. Ci ©' A BCD ANTHONYS The A B C D Anthonys—Albert, Bob, Carl, and Dick. The first letter of their names form the first four letters of the alphabet. Not only is this fact unusual but they are all related. Albert and Dick are brothers and are first cousins to the two brothers, Bob and Carl. This combination of brothers and cousins were active in helping bring home victories during the football season. 78 Carl. Bob, Albert. Richard.

This is the first time such an award has been made. Tony was an inspiration player on this year’s team. He was likely the team’s hardest worker and a consistent rebounder with a great deal of drive and spring. The award was made at a banquet given by the Moose Club in honor of the 1955-56 Trojan basketball team. TONY JULIO 80 CHEERL EA DERS Row 1: Sally Rositer, Shirley Crossing, Elaine Oberweiser. Row 2: Captain Carole Arp, Donna Udell, Doris Dickson. Win or lose, rain or shine, the Conneaut High School cheerleaders enthusiastically led the Trojan fans through both the football and basketball seasons of 1955-56. Working together, they led many pep rallies in school and throughout the town to bolster pre-game morale. Not only did they lead the cheers in the cold, wet weather at football games, but they continued their cheers during the basketball season. The cheerleaders received letters for the effort and time which they gave willingly to lead their fellow classmates in urging the Trojans on to victory. The Varsity cheerleaders included Carole Arp, Elaine Oberweiser, Donna Udell, Shirley Crossing, Sally Rositer, and Doris Dickson. The girls who should be given recognition for their work on the Junior Varsity squad are Lucille Galliazzo, Nancy Molner, Patty Rapose, Jane Pearson, and Captain Kay Aldrich. Both groups were under the direction of Mrs. Elsie Kiser. 81 TRACK TEAM Row Is Emory Shobe, Manager; Larry Ogren, LeKov Brunke.
