The new staff, however, have devised themselves to the efficient operation and improvement of Coventry, Lakeview, and Lockwood. They have shown their resourceful- ness in acquiring for Coventry Twp. higher ideals. Thus, to this group, we, the graduating class of 1942, extend our sincere gratitude. l 4 ,,, .Q W .. . ' i p Without these people Coventry never could have functioned. Dora Lee, the bright little messenger of Mr. Erwine, filled her new post well as secretary to Mr. Erwine. Mrs. Rhoades and Mrs. Cormany provided warm lunches that filled many an empty stomach, and Mr. Dickson provided warm heat that was always welcomed by the Coventry students. 'A 'To these we owe a happier, more cheerful year. Compliments of Krugers IGA Compliments of Hohman Realty -1 479 Portage Lakes Drive FR-2167 Tower Bldg. M1-3333 MR. ROBERT ERWINE Akron University M. A. and A. B. The democratic way of life and those ideals which have characterized the America of the past are now under vicious attack by foreign arms without and within. The successful defense of these rights and ideals requires more than raising huge armies and navies. It requires more than laying down one's life for his country: it requires that in every thought, in every action, in every deed, each of us proclaim to the world what it means to be an American. The future of our democracy rests in the hands of the young people who are now students in our public schools. There is a challenge to the school to help fit them for the part they are to play in life. They must learn to live the democratic way of life. They must realize that they are not only studying the history of the past, but that they are seeing his- tory made, and are preparing to take their part in making the history of the future.

Compliments of Dietz's Landing - Turkeyfoot Channel The Student Body of Coventry High is composed of the four high school levels plus the seventh and eighth grades. The student body representative is the president, who is assisted by a secretary. These officers were elected early in the first semester. This year Charlie Whitehead, the presi- dent and presiding officer at student body meetings, presented many outside assemblies to the student body. He was capably assisted by Kate Stamps until her withdrawal from school. In a special election Ioan Mann was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Kate Stamps' withdrawal.

Wanda plays the flute in the orchestra and band as she has done for four years. She was given the honor of crowning the queen at the Homecom- ing celebration. Morrie is easily dis- tinguished by the lock of white hair arising from his forehead. He is best remembered for his per- formance on the basket- ball court.

Coventry football hopes suffered a severe jolt when three lettermen took defense jobs and did not return to school and a fourth was declared ineligible after the first game. We defeated Orrville 19-0 on the first game of the year at Orrville. Stow then became the first team to defeat the Comets on our home field since 1937. The score was 7-ll. After that the Barberton Reserves were defeated 13-0. Then came a visit to our arch rivals, Springfield, and we won 6-0. Neither team had much advantage as play was confined between the 30 yd. lines after a 2nd quarter drive netted the Comets a score. Kent State came to Coventry next and w 19 7 I on - . t was the first time Kent football team had ever beaten Coventry and it was accomplished while their Coach Mr. Von Hyning was in the hospital. Norton then took our measure in the mud by 13-0. It was a terrific battle but the Panthers couldn't be stopped. We tackled Mighty Ellet at Ellet and even though the experts pre- dicted an Ellet romp, the Comets rnade goal line stand after stand, and with 10 seconds left to play, took the ball on our four inch line, and with it the ball game 7-6. Greensburg then got revenge for the last four years by winning 12-6 in our last game of the year. All in all it was not as successful a year as past years have been, but ghe Eoys won fouruand lost four which makes them an average football team y t e azzi ratem system of picking championship teams. Compliments of Huston-Pugh Sporting Goods North Main Street VARSITY BASKETBALL Don Welever, Bud Marks, Capt. lim Provence, Harold Ley, Earl Valentine, lohn Buck, Bill McKenna, Harold Anderson, Morrie Williams, Bill Miller, Al Rollins, Coach Miller. Coventry's team was small but aggressive this year. Their lack of height was a definite handicap throughout the season, We won ten and lost nine games including two losses to Canton Timken and to Canton St. Iohns. High spots of the year were the one point win over Springfield there, and a one point loss to Ellet here. Both were very good ball clubs. Among other close games were the Stow game, which we lost 22-24, at Stow, and the 38-40 game which Kent State took from us at home. Standouts on the team were Hank Provence, a forward, elected honorary captain and All-Metropolitan forward: and Morrie Williams, another fast, scrappy, diminutive forward. Don Welever at center, Iohn Buck, and either Bill McKenna or Harold Ley at guards, made up the starting lineup. Much credit must be given Bud Marks, Harold Anderson, and Bill Miller for good relief jobs in several games when the Varsity regulars departed for the showers via the personal foul route. It was a fast aggressive ball club that had to depend on clever ball handling and superior basket shooting to win any games, but too often this was not enough to offset the advantage of height which other teams had.
