Corning High School - Corhian Yearbook (Corning, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 50 of the 1953 volume:

We, the editors and staff of the Corhian, present the 1953 edition of our school annual. Into the creation of thi3 publication went many hours of labor and deliberation. They were, however, hours of dedication to a task which we deemed most highly. Into tais book we have attem ted to portray our high-school life exactly as we have worked and struggled these last twelve years. Into the production of a book such as this, the services of many students and faculty members area prerequisite. The Senior Class, under the guidance of our advisor, Mr. Rodgers, developed the enthusiasm and the determination to carry this .roject forward from its inception as an idea to its final phase of presentation to you. The expression seems far .too overworked and trite for 3uch anoccasion, but lacking a better sub- stitute, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all these who gave unstintedly of their time, patience, and uidance.

Along the trail in the first semester we stopped for a spaghetti party. We had many good times together, but at the end of the first long trail we lost three of our classmates; Chuck Verfers, Joanne Gos- SToan, and Mildred Jones. Then our long awaited summer vacation. We began our second path in September, 1950 with Mr. Allen Koonts as our guide. Again the gun-bearers were Beckey Hartley, President; Patty Maxwell, Vice President; Delores Moody, Secretary; Jack Ballis, Treasurer. We had a stop or two in the jungle clear- ings for skating parties. In the spring our Secretary, Delores Moody, was chosen queen at the Homecoming Dance. Then Prom Time, and those chosen to do the upper-classmen honor and serve were; Delores Moody, Beckey Hartley, Rosalie Puccie, Norma Plant, Bernioe Eickel, Barbara Pierce, Gene Toth, Jack Ballis, Ken Nelson, Tony Paessun, Bill Deime, Ray Snowden. This year Bob Lewis Joined us for a short time, but he didn't stay long. We lost Ray Snowden, Frances Helmick, Phyllis Glaneman, Nancy Kinsel, and Evelyn Burley at the end of this year. Then we had another summer vacation to be rested for our third part of the long journey. In September, 1951 with Mrs. Gladys Forshey as our guide, we began on our third trip through a new part of the jungle. The new gun-bearers were Jack Ballis, President; Delores Moody, Vice Presi- dent; Beckey Hartley, Secretary; Patty Maxwell, Treasurer. We stopped in a little clearing to give our Junior Play, Family Circle. Then we went onward again, We had a new classmate, Maureen Margraf, join us from Elyria, Ohio. In the spring we gave our Homecoming Dance. Gene Toth was chosen king at the Gold Diggers Dance. In May we had the pleasure of a pause for our Prom. We danced to the music of Amy Armhurst and admired our theme of Hitch Your Wagon To A Star . We lest Barbara Pierce the end of this trail. Then another rest for summer vacation for our final trip through the tangled under- growth. Finally in September, 1952, we began our last leg of the trip with Mr. James Rodgers as guide and our trouble-shooters were Ber- nice Eickel, President; Jack Ballis, Vice-President; Delores Moody, Secretary; Maureen Margraf, Treasurer. We picked up a new student, Joan Walt, from Cleveland. We began making our money for our trip at the beginning of the year. At this writing we are looking for- ward to the things Spring will bring, including our Senior Play, to which we hope will be a reality and a success. i' mi-p'n n t fTTT M111 irrrmTTTr i Class Will 1 XHKKXKIKXNXKXHXKXKXHXIMrk P- It; At' ' .no::.
