Corning High School - Corhian Yearbook (Corning, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 54 of the 1948 volume:

DEDICATION With gratitude for a job well done we, the senior class of 1948, wish to dedicate this annual to all the young men of our community who went out to fight for those American ideals in which our public schools play so vital a part. We do not need to give the names of these men; we all know them. They were members of our families who, in an American way, answered the call of duty to strive to pre- serve things peculiarly American. We want this annual dedicated to these men so that we will not forget the war and what they did—so that we will always remember what they went through to keep safe things like annuals, ball games, and high schools. This is a return small enough for their sacrifices, but any- thing is small beside a global war. The best thing this class can do is to see that Corning High School, others like it, will be having a yearbook for 1998 in a peaceful world. We will have the chance to try because they fought to give it to us. The Staff Table Dedication .......................... Corning High School ................. Doctor Miller .......................

Corning, Ohio Dr. James Miller is one of the most influential citizens of our town. Born in Scotland on December 17, 1873, Dr. Miller came to Corning when he was seven years old and received his early education in the nearby vicinity. Dr. Miller graduated from the College of Medicine of Georgetown Uni- versity and has been practicing medicine in Corning for forty-seven years. He has long been active in public affairs, having served for fourteen years on the Board of Education. One of his latest and greatest achievements in helping our town is his gift of $1000 to aid in building our school library to one of the finest in the county. The students of Corning High are grateful to Dr. Miller for the many things he has done toward the betterment of our school. Many thanks, Doctor Miller. 4 Compliments NEWLON-FORAKER New Lexington, Ohio Compliments GARRISON’S HARDWARE Corning, Ohio WILLIAM FORSHEY Superintendent of Corning Public Schools Mr. William Forshey is now completing his second year as Superintendent of Corning Public Schools.

HEARING Superintendent of Perry County Schools Mr. O. E. Hearing has been superintendent of Perry County Schools for nineteen years. During his long and successful career as ad- ministrator of the schools of our county, Mr. Hearing has gained the confidence and re- spect of all with whom he has worked. Long an advocate of a well-balanced school program, Mr. Hearing has done much to bring the schools of Perry County to the fine place which they occupy today among the high schools of the state. Under his excellent and careful guidance Perry County has produced many championship basketball teams and has been a Constant winner of recognition in the annual state scholarship awards. Mr. Hearing has been a champion of mod- ern and well-founded educational methods and has brought the visual educational pro- gram in Perry County Schools to a place of prominence in the curriculum.

Class Prophecy Let’s take a look into the future, And see what it contains. Then after you have heard this, We’ll gladly pick up the remains. Jim Kanuch, the pride of Congo, Is a clown in circus, by the name of Jumbo. Eunice Jenkins wanted to be a housewife, All she says now is: “What a life!” Charles Hall is mayor of Rendville, so I hear, That’s why Clarence is constable every year. And Harrison, the star of our team, Looks at his kid with that same old gleam. Pat Shaw, who loved Chopin, Is keeping time now with an old dishpan. Chuck Alfman used to love to play pool, He’s in the army now—drives a mule. Losey, who was one of our gay little girls, Is teaching others to make those curls. Jack Reho stood by another guy’s gate, One night he stood there a little too late. When Goodwell played football, he made every goal, We’ll find him now on the Highway Patrol. Briggs, who wanted to be a nurse, Is now driving her brother’s hearse. Fitch used to like to take shorthand, She’s taking orders now from a big, handsome man. And Beresh who came from Indian Run, Is awfully tired of packing her son. Latta, the pride of Rodgers’ street, Now is covering a reporter’s beat. Joe Benedict wanted to roam the seas; He’s busy at home with ten hives of bees. Hardy and Love who were going to teach, Now are “steadies” at Mimai Beach. Wemmer is still every lady’s beau But now he owns and runs the show. Judy Young loved to play the drum Every night, he makes quite a little sum. Ferguson wanted to go to Hemlock every night; someone nabbed him, now he’s a sight. Pompey, used to go with all the men, She’s married now and never again. And Titko, who liked to hunt the squirrels, He quit the squirrels, and chose the girls. Chesty and Buty went together so long, They thought if they married it wouldn’t be wrong. Swisher went to college to be a teacher, She found someone there to really teach her. Myers and Vanway, those gay little dolls, Are teaching others the ups and falls. Hopkins and Carmichael both loved a cer- tain guy, Hopkins won, now she’d like to die. Woodruff’s father managed the A P, Guess who’s manager now—at 33. Richard Glass wanted a brand-new car, He’s working now at Doc’s bar. Lue Dunlap, who was so sunny, Is in L.A., making the money. Pat Hillis liked to sing songs She’s in South America, wearing pretty sarongs. And what about Marie Ayers? She found a guy that really cares. On May 24, 1948, our class did cease Next day, Mr. Rodgers was arrested for disturbing the peace. That’s how things look in 1965, To sum it all up—we’re lucky to be alive. By Joe Benedict. Senior Class History Our senior class started out as freshmen in September, 1944. It was a large class of 42 people. Mr. Jacoby was superintendent, and Mr. Benedict was principal. Our homeroom teacher was, for a time, Mrs. Amelia Park, who was then replaced by Mrs. Jeanette Apple. We elected the following officers: President, Bob Wemmer; Vice- president, Joe Benedict; Secretary, Pat Shaw; Treasurer, Lila Latta. We had several parties, including a wiener roast at the old dam. The next year was begun with Mr. Benedict as superintendent, who was assisted by Jean Dudash, our office secretary. Mrs. Lewis was our home-room teacher at the beginning of the term, and she was replaced by Mr. Brown. Our officers were: Jean Fitch, presi- dent; Betty Bowland, vice-president; Mary Briggs, secretary; Rheba Losey, treasurer. The following class members were chosen to serve at the Junior-Senior Prom: Jean Fitch, Mary Briggs, Lila Latta, Louise Swartz, Patty Beresh, Lois Swisher, Bob Wemmer, James Linscott, Charles Alfman, Jack Reho, Eugene Titko, and Jack Harri- son. Three sophomores were elected cheerleaders: Jean Fitch, Mary Briggs, and Lila Latta. Our Junior year was begun under a new superintendent, William Forshey. Jean Dudash remained as office secretary. We now began to take a more important part in school activities. Our class advisor was Mrs. Lillian Winnenburg. The officers were: President, Jean Fitch; Vice-president, Lois Swisher; Secretary, Mary Briggs; Trea- surer, Pat Hillis. This year the cheerleaders were again chosen from our class—Betty Bowland, Evelyn Urban, and Rheba Losey. They had the privilege of going to State, the farthest we had ever gone in the field of basketball. The class play, “A Date With Judy,” was a great success, and we sponsored a home-coming dance which helped secure funds for our banquet. A queen was elected, again from our class—Lila Latta. Now we have reached our senior year. Mr. Forshey was again superintendent, and Mr. Rodgers was our advisor. We elected Lois Swisher as president; Jean Fitch as vice-president; Mary Briggs as secretary; Jack Reho as treasurer. We gave several dances, and also a carnival with the Juniors. The class play we chose was “Don’t Take My Penny.” As this yearbook went to press, our plans for a class trip were to go to Washington, D. C. 16 Senior Class Play The Senior class chose for its play “Don’t Take My Penny”, a three-act comedy; but as the yearbook went to press, the books had not yet arrived, and it was impossible to cast it. The story follows: Sixteen-year-old Penny is walking around with a book on her head and a dreamy look in her eyes and practicing elocution with her mouth full of pebbles, preparing herself to play the star role in the movie version of a popular novel. The author is searching the country for his ideal—he’s coming to town tomorrow—and Penny just knows she’ll be chosen! What Penny doesn’t know is that Sally, the new maid, is a former child movie star, now grown up, whom a clever publicity agent has planted there to be miraculously “discovered” by the author. So Penny ignores Sally (who practices dance steps when no one’s around), and she ignores the talent of her quiet, unselfish older sister, Mavis, who has small parts in radio. Penny and Joanna have their .hands full with preparations . . . for Penny intends to take her girl friend, Joanna, with her to Hollywood. Penny and Joanna give up playing in the tennis tournament with their boy friends, Greg and Kerry. They tell them they are putting childish things like tennis behind them. Greg and Kerry confer with Gram and decide to outwit Penny and Joanna by posing as the great author and a brunette model. They do—and the girls fall for it! A riotous scene follows in which Henri, the clothes de- signer, shows off his latest creations on attractive models for Penny to con- sider for her descent on Hollywood. But the disguised Greg and Kerry poke fun at each lovely outfit and finally kick the indignant Henri out the door. Then, just as Penny is prepared to say “thumbs down” on famous authors— Dad shows up with the real author. But the plans for the “discovery” of Sally go awry, for Sally has fallen in love with Mark, the older brother, whose one ambition is to run a chicken farm! That seems to Sally a lot more glamorous than a screen career, for she remembers the real Holly- wood of hard work and disappointments. Sally and Mark plan their little white cottage, with its picket fence and roses, and about this time their first chicken triumphantly lays an egg! In the midst of all the excitement, the author does choose a star for his play—but the girl he chooses surprises everyone. But by this time Penny and Joanna have changed their minds again and paired off for the tennis tournament with Greg and Kerry. And Gram has given Mother a piece of her mind for running about giving lec- tures on child rearing when she should be looking after her own family.

In 1946 the Juniors of that year selected twelve of the then, sophomores, to serve at their banquet: Margie Hillis, Charlene Levering, Donna Bryson, Martha Fisher, Dorothy Jones, Elaine Fouts, Gene Matth- ews, Bill Wright, Bob Harmon, Dick Thom- as, Keith Rodgers, Randall Mayes. They started this year of 1947-1948 with Gladys B. Forshey as advisor, and elected the following officers: President, Margie Hillis; Vice President, Louise Love; Secre- tary, Joan Morris; Treasurer, Gene Matth- ews. They contributed many members to the team, band, and safety patrol. They sold Christmas Cards and Tee shirts, and presented the play, “Grandad Steps Out” in order to finance the Junior- Senior banquet in the spring. 20 Junior Class Play First Row—Left to Right—Gladys B. Forshey, Director; Elaine Fouts, Keith Rodgers, Jeanne Johnson, Randall Mayes, Delmar Alfman, Dorothy Jones, Donna Bryson. Second Row—Left to Right—Margie Hillis, Bob Harmon, Charlene Levering, Bill Wright, Louise Love, Martha Fisher, Gene Matthews. “Grandad Steps Out” was presented on December 5, 1947, under the direction of Gladys B. Forshey. The play was a great success. The plot deals with the troubles of Grandad, who has been an invalid for some time, and the futile efforts of his daughter, Mrs. Laura Morton, who tries to keep him contented. Two young relatives, Kip Shadduck, and his attractive sister, Betty, come to visit, and get romantically involved with the Norwoods, the new neighbors. Kip strikes up a friendship with the Norwood triplets, and Betty strikes up a romance with Jack Norwood. Then comes a complication in the form of an old friend of Grandad, Jim Mahoney, “from Arizony,” who “kidnaps” Grandad for an evening of real eating. After many mirth-provoking misunder- standings, Grandad is a new man, the ro- mances are straightened out, and the aud- ience, at least at Corning, has had a won- derful evening. The cast follows: Mrs. Laura Morton—Charlene Levering. Grandad—Bill Wright. Tilly, a green country maid—Louise Love. Betty Shadduck, an attractive relative— Elaine Fouts.

Who Will Follow in the Senior Footprints Naturally, the departure of the Senior class will leave a void in the life at C.H.S., but we have decided that the Juniors can fill the gap—with practice, of course. The list of replacements follows: Delma Alfman will replace Bob Wemmer and be on time for school every morning. Esther Ashby will replace Pauline Carmichael and recite often in English class. Nellie Beddow will replace Patty Pompey and talk a lot. Donna Bryson will replace Eunice Jenkins and be good-natured all the time. Martha Fisher will replace Jean Fitch and be Senior flirt. Elaine Fouts will replace Mary Briggs and be Senior tomboy. Josephine Gaddis will replace Dorothy Woodruff and move a little closer to the schoolhouse. Betty Grannon will replace Eileen Love and fly off of the handle. Bob Harmon will replace Chesty Hern and be quiet. Margie Hillis will replace Pat Shaw and leave the men alone. Jean Johnson will replace Patty Beresh and stick to one fellow for a change. Louise Love will replace Luella Dunlap and be the future Senior house-wife. Charlene Levering will replace Lois Swisher and be a star Eng- lish student. Gene Matthews will replace Karl Goodwill and be Senior he- man. Randall Mayes will replace Bob Buty and be Senior “cutie.” Joan Morris will replace Dorothy Myers and be official giggler. Eddie Owrey will replace Charles Alfman and be the tallest man in the class. Keith Rodgers will replace Jack Harrison as the high-point man on the team. Dick Thomas will replace Eugene Titko and obey orders, for a change. Harry Wade will replace Jim Kanuch and form a quiet area in the middle of the room. Mildred Watts will replace Marvene Hopkins and be the one Senior worker. Oliver White will replace Joe Benedict and not stay away from girls. Freda Woodruff will replace Lila Latta and lend dignity to the Senior class. Bill Wright will replace Jack Reho and make more noise. Remember Us? Si 8 -Soi nd O ' ■ 'itX TYW JuJ! Remember When?

The auditorium was artistically decorated with hearts and cupids. The juke box was decorated with a huge heart with the silhouettes of a boy and a girl. The top three classes chose two candidates for the Home-Coming Queen. They were: Seniors, Lois Swisher and Jean Fitch; Juniors, Martha Fisher and Margie Hillis; Sophomores, Irma Barron and Jeanne Hatfield. The basketball team cast the final vote to elect Martha Fisher as queen. At intermission, under the supervision of Mrs. Forshey, Martha was officially crowned queen by Jack Harrison, captain of the basketball team, and Lila Latta, last year’s queen. The Juniors worked hard for this dance and it was a huge success. 34 “The Railroader” Staff First group—Left to Right—Patty Vanway, Richard Glass, Charles Hall, Delmar Alfman, Joe Benedict, Patty Beresh, Jean Fitch, Pat Hillis.

The paper, with its gossip, its corny jokes, and unpredictable editorial policy, will be one of our most treasured memories in later years. James E. Rodgers, Jr., is faculty advisor. 35 Typing First Row—Front to Back—Joe Benedict, Lois Swisher, Lila Latta, Nellie Beddow, Freda Woodruff, Miss Maxine Laughlin, Instructor.

Long after we have been graduated and gone on our different ways, the music of a waltz or ballad will bring back the memory of a long-awaited dance or game, and the people who made them important. So we took a poll of the Senior class to see which songs they remembered best. And here they are,—they our favorites from 1944 to 1948: Time Waits For No One I’ll Be Seeing You My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time Oh What It Seemed to Be Till the End Of Time Temptation Full Moon and Empty Arms Anniversary Song You’ll Always Be the One I Love For Sentimental Reasons Peg O’ My Heart I’ll Close My Eyes Dance, Ballerina You Do How Soon So Far I Have But One Heart Two Loves Have I Apple Blossom Wedding Stardust Sonata Now Is the Hour Serenade of the Bells Sept. 2— School opens—Happens every year about this time.

No one with our opportunities can ever be “finished.” There is too much of the world’s work to do, too many of the world’s mysteries to solve, for anyone of us ever to quit. All the young people of America owe a debt of gratitude to the genera- tions before them, who built this country and gave them this heritage of pride and freedom. The payment of this debt by our class will be seen in the things we intend to build with our hands and our minds. “The wisdom of the world said unto me; ‘go forth and run, the race is to the brave! Perchance some honor tarrieth for thee! . . . There are bays; Go forth and run, for victory is good, After the stress of the laborious days’.” —Ernest Dowson 50 zSL z u a m S- vV il i . - • - V ! V
