Although this page is frequently topped with a picture of one of our teachers, it was the opinion of our class that this year this page be reserved for the most influential group of people in our lives-our parents. For that reason there is not a picture on this page, but there is a sincere attempt to express a little of what we know we can never really express- our appreciation, our respect, and our thanks to our parents. To say what we really feel is a responsibility beyond our humble powers, but the same understanding that was with us during those twelve, sometimes long, sometimes anxious, often wonderful years, is still with us as we write these lines. For your assist- ance, your help, and often for just your presence we, the class of 1956, dedicate this yearbook to our parents. Three Busy on the annual.

Harbor Light Staff f After many hours of thought, worry, and work the Staff has presented a 'book which we feel contains work produced with the best of our abilities. We know that many pages are new and quite different in arrangement from what has been done before. We intend that this Harbor Light become a memory book not only for the seniors, but for all who at this time are students of Harding High. Acknowledgments We, the Staff of 1956, wish to thank the following people for their time and effort in making this book what it is: Mr. Dale Knapp who acquainted us with this task and had con- fidence that we could produce the bookg Miss Hazel Rugg and Mr. George Daly for their proofreadingg and all others who have helped us in any way. Richard Bell iphotographerj, Albin 'Ulle fsports editorj, Mary Ann Moroz Casst. business lll2lll3g9l'J, and William Stange tbusiness nlanagerj make up the rest of the yearbook staff. Four xxvitll mixed feelings of sadness and joy, the girls arrived at school on the first day. Through The School Year The school year lasts from September 6 to June 1 this year. During these 179 days a great deal is learned. This learning not only includes what is gained from books, but also what is received from extra-curricular activities and assemb- lies that take place at Harding. The Whole program makes a Well-rounded student. Assemblies this year included: Mr. Dallavaux's talk on manners, the Man- hattan Trio's group of popular and semi-popular songs, William Haakar's piano selections, T. J. Corga.n's adventure in time-lapse photography, the Sloan's assembly on science and liquid air, and many student participation assemblies. In the Through the School Year section in this book we have included many pictures which should 'bring memories of some of that which happened during the school year. Countless things have happened which we were not able to in- clude. To learn more read through this book. Better yet, ask any student of Harding High.

Through The School Year: Music For ,D . This year's activities can compete with the best we have ever had. The performan- ces of the vocal groups under the direction of Mrs. Williams, and the band with Mr. Luoma at the helm, have again proved themselves to be an example of the musical talent which is found at Harding. many years Harding High has had an exceptional musical program The band began its activities for this school year in the summer vacation e group was learning to play and march as a preceding the opening of school.

Then came the Lake County Band Festival, the WICA radio transcription along with the Choral Club and the combined music concert which was later in the Spring. These events highlighted the band activities. The vocal groups have done equally well. Under the direction of a new leader the groups have presented many performances which have brought compli- ments to the school. Very early in the school year, the Choral Club sang a few selections to open an assembly. Since that time, the vocal groups have made many appearances. The Christmas Concert was one of the most inspiring ever to be heard at Harding. The County Chorus Festival Was another notable event. We, the students of Harding High are proud of our band and vocal groups. Robert Stevens and John Brennan at Jean Mackey and Karen Hill. 1I'llllll1lllll1!!! work in the chemistry lab.

This formula would make H d' ' ' ar ing a dull school. Many events through the year provide entertainment for students. The various classroom groups schedule parties on school nights in order that the ' 'ht ' ' y m1g eat, dance, and be merry. The soclals are a source of getting acquainted with your fellow students and teachers. In November came a highlight of the fall semester-the football dance which this year was coined the Harding Hop.

OUR LIBRARY FACILITIES Mrs. Casey the head librarian and l , I , ier assistants, have maintained a library which is very worthy of praise. There is probably no other town, the size of Fair- port, which has the facilities which we have St d , . u ents are able to spend many periods in the library during the school day and to spend hours there studying in the evening. Reading material is of no val I ue unless it is read. Our library not only draws Fairporters, but also many others. Inside the walls of the library building, much knowledge has been gathered. Many can base their success upon what they have learn d th ' ' ' ' ' e rough the facilities of an outstanding library. Harvey Hilston, Wlilliam Urban, and Neal Hilston: janitors at Harding High.

WILLIAMS Superintendent Seniors of 1956 End and Beginning Seniors: Four years of work and play have brought you to the climax of your secondary education. If your formal education is completed I hope that Harding High School standards and requirements have served as adequate prepara- tion for your chosen life work. Some graduates look for- ward to further intellectual enrichment at the university level. May Commencement be the beginning which will open the door to success in many fields of endeavor. High school should awaken in each of you the desire to serve society to the best of your ability. The satisfaction derived from serving man and country is the greatest achieve- ment of any individual. I congratulate you upon your attainments and extend best wishes for further success. Carl P.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY April 12 marked the day when the eight seniors listed below were received into the National Honor Society. This ceremony was the most impressive ever to be seen at Harding. The eight were tapped by Mr. Branthoover. They departed from the auditorium, then returned in a processional which included all the faculty who took part in the program. While on stage, the four cardinal virtues of the society were explained: scho- larship, leadership, service, and character. The chosen seniors were presented their membership certificates and society pins. They recessed from the stage each having attained the highest honor which can be given to any high school senior. Those taking part in the National Honor Society program are, left to right: Richard Katila, Frances Hilston, Mr. Luoma, Rosalie Bacso, Miss West, Mary Ann Moroz, Mr. Williams, Mr. Brant- hoover, Marianne Lefelhocz, Mary Hunter, Mrs. Martin, Jeannette Mackey, and Kenneth Urban.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Cheerleaders, left to right, kneeling: The Skippers just didnit seem to be able to get started after their impressive showing against the un- defeated Mentor Cardinals. This year the Skippers lacked the necessary bench strength and lost much of the winning spirit after their heart-breaking defeat to Mentor. With the able leadership of Coach Matt Ivary and Assistant Coach Daly, the Skippers were able to round out the season with a 4-4 record. They were in fourth place in the Northeastern Conference with a 2-3 record. The Skippers hope to go undefeated next year. Mary Jean Caruso, Roberta Alto. Stand- ing: Margaret VVilson, Janice Ticel. Forty A TRIBUTE T0 The final game of the 1955 football season brought down the curtain not only on the high school football careers of nine graduating seniors but also on the coaching career of Matt Ivary. Mr. Ivary, a home town boy, started coaching as an assistant at Fairport in 1939 after graduating from Ohio University. In 1948, Coach Ivary took over the job of head coach and has held that position ever since. During his reign as head coach, Mr. Ivary has compiled a remarkable record of 52 wins, 17 losses, and 2 ties. While a student at Ohio University, he played guard on a winning team during the days of Coach Don Peden, one of the foremost grid mentors of the late 30's. In 1938, Coach Ivary was named to Little All-American honors as an O. U. guard. To say that he enjoys foot- Coaches and Managers.

COACH MATT IVARY ' Coach Ivary's last year at the helm. ball would be an understatementg his interest in coaching is equally as great. Mr. Ivary is far from being just a coach. He is liked and respected by all who have come in contact with him. He has been an advisor who could be counted on for sound and helpful advice. Mr. Ivary also enjoys work- ing with boys and girls of elementary-school age. He is the director of the summer recrea- tion program for boys and girls. With his guidance and good example, Coach Ivary has influenced the lives of many of his young fol- lowers. Mr. Ivary resigned, mainly because he wants to teach physical education at the Fair- port McKinley Elementary School which posi- tion he will hold next year. Good luck to a man who has won the hearts of many with his amiable disposition and faithful consider- ation. May your future years at McKinley School be rewarding ones.

He was equally as capable on defense as offense. He snared many a pass that seemed impossible to catch. RICHARD KATILA - Senior - Guard Princie's ability to open those holes paved the way for many a T.D. for the Skippers. He was one of Fairport's seven rocks of granite on the line. ROBERT LURVEY - Senior - Tackle Bob played mostly defense for the Skippers, as his hard hit- ting tackling was important. Bob's good nature and defensive ability will be hard to equal on next year's team. NORMAN RANDA - Senior - Quarterback sneeze saw considerable action in the backfield this year. His capability as a passer will be hard to match. JOSEPH WALTERS - Senior - End This was Curlie's first year out for football. He caught on quick and earned himself a starting berth on defense. Joe-'s spirit will be missed next year. RICHARD ECKERT - Senior Captain - Tackle At 210 pounds, Crunchy, chosen Most Valuable Linemanf' was the largest boy on Coach lvary's squad this year. Besides being one of the important factors on the Skippers offense, Crunch was also outstanding on defense. ROBERT POTTI - Senior - Fullback Bob, who was chosen on the first team of the N.E.C. All-Star team, was the bread man of the team. Bob's plunging power gave Fairport those added yards which were many times de- C1SiV6. DARRYL MACKEY - Senior - Halfback TOM Possessing both speed and robust power, Bull was a hard man to bring down. His importance was rewarded as he was chosen Most Valuable Backfield Man. REMALEY - Senior - Tackle Hank was equally as important on defense as he was on offense. Because of an ankle injury, he missed a few games during the middle of the season. I-Iis team spirit could always be counted on during the pressure periods. l i ' i i i i Arthur Locotosh Robert Lurvey RICHARD ORRIS - Junior' - Guard Richie is one of the finest linelnen around as his courage and ability were shown throughout the season. Great things are expected of Rich next year. GARY BRAINARD - Junior - Halfback Gary was the soatbaok of tho team. When he broke loose, he was tough to catch. Gary was hampered part of the season with a shoulder injury. He will bolster the Skipper squad immensely next year. ROBERT MYERS - Junior - Quarterback Hick saw plenty of action this year. He possesses an ao- curate passing arm and a fighting heart. He will return next year to increase the Skippers hopes of a fine season. DELBERT KELTTO - Junior - Center Although a little green at the beginning of the season, Del shaped up to be a strong center man on the Skippers' offen- sive forward wall. Delbert will be back next year to strengthen the Skippers' line. RAYMOND NELSON - Junior - End Ray started at right end for the Skippers this year. His fine blocking and defensive toughness greatly aided the Skipper cause. Ray's ability will be welcomed next year. MARVIN LATVA - Junior - Tackle Marv saw most of his action on defense. This boy was hard to move as opposing line men found out. Marv will be back for another fine season next year. ROBERT HOLPIT - Junior - End Bob saw limited action as an end this year. His kicking ability got Fairport out of many holes. He showed his ability in the Riverside contest when he caught 3 touchdown passes. He will be back next year to fight for a starting berth. ALBIN ULLE - Junior - Quarterback Al started his first year at quarterback for the Skippers after having played halfbaok the last two seasons. He will be back next year. ROBERT JARBOE - Sophomore - Fullback Rob played fullback and halfback for the Skippers this year. But his importance was found on defense, as he displayed some keen ability as a linebacker. This young lad will be back to strengthen the Skippers squad next year. Marvin Latva John Brennan George Daly Face to face with the foe is Albin Ulle in Fairport.-Mentor game. REVIEW OF FOOTBALL GAMES OF 1955 SEASON Fairport 32 - John Hay 0 The Skippers' offensive and defensive squads shined as they had little trouble in overcoming the boys from Cleveland. Halfback Gary Brainard led the offensive attack with a pair of touchdowns. Fairport 19 - Mentor 21 The Maroon-and-White were stopped not by the Mentor team, but by Father Time. The Skippers were on the one yard line when the game ended. Led by Brainard, Mackey, and Potti on offense, the Skippers out-totaled the Cardinals in all statistics except points. Two blocked kicks by Mentor dealt the death blow to the Skippers. Forty-six Fairport 19 - Geneva 0 The boys from Fairport copped their first Northeastern Conference victory by downing a persistent Geneva squad. Potti, Eckert, Latva, and Katila held up the stalwart wall of Fair- port while Mackey and Brainerd led the of- fense. Fairport 6 - Paincsvillc 32 The Skippers just c0uldn't seem to get started in this one. The Painesville boys domi- nated play in both the first and second halves. The Fairporters' lone run came on a quarter- back sneak by Bob Myers. Bob Potti 'scoots around end for considerable gain against the Vikings from St. Joseph of Cleve- land. Most valuable players, Dick Eckert and Dar- ryl Mackey, receive trophies from V.F.VV. Coni- inander, Robert Quinn. Fairport 0 -- Conncaut. 9 Both teams fought to a scoreless tie in the first half. The Conneaut team scored a safety and a touchdown in the second half to spell the third defeat for the Skippers. De- fensive standouts for the home team boys were displayed by Orris and Remaley. Fairport 6 - Ashtabula 24 The Maroon-and-White eleven found the Ashtabulans a little too much to handle as they dropped their third N.E.C. ball game. Two intercepted passes and a fumble caused the defeat for the Skippers. Myers scored the lone touchdown from one yard out. Fairport 32 - Riverside 6 After three straight losses the Skippers bounced back against the Riverside Beavers on a snow-covered field. Dad's night was being celebrated at this game. Bob Holpit led the Skippers by catching three touchdown passes. Everybody got to play in this one as Coach Matt Ivary emptied the bench. Fairport 13 - St. Joseph 7 The Skippers ended the season in fine fashion with an impressive victory over St. Joseph of Cleveland. Touchdowns by Brainerd and Potti spelled victory for Fairport. This was the final game for seniors: Katila, Eckert, Mackey, Urban, Potti, Remaley, Walters, Ran- da, and Lurvey. This was also Coach Matt Ivary's last year as he announced his resigna- tion to the school board. Albin Ulle brought down hard by a determined Geneva Eagle t-ackler.

FOOTBALL DANCE The annual football dance proved the biggest social event of the year so far at Harding High School. More than 100 couples participated in the event, which brought the grid season to a close officially at Harding. Mary Hunter and Richard Katila, seniors, were crowned queen and king by Richard Eckert, captain of the 1955 team. Their identity was kept secret until the crowning ceremonies which followed the second dance of the evening. They were led to a throne in a canopied area at one side of the festively-decorated gym. Nominations for the queen were made by the Skippers squad and for king by the school cheerleaders. The whole student body voted for those who were included in the Court.

The group presented an assembly on safe driving. A car check was planned and student drivers were urged to participate in the driving Road-E-O. YOUTH TRAFFIC COUNCIL Dear Seniors: Most of you are now or will be automobile drivers and, as such, a great social responsibility is placed in your hands. An automobile requires an indi- vidual witli a mature mind to control it. Always drive as though your life depended on it for well it may. Be a safe driver at all times, not a statistic.

Bearing all the qualities of a mother, you have given us something from which we shall derive our future plans and dreams. You have laid the foundation,leveled the earth, mixed the mortar, and set the stones--and now as we prepare to embark upon life's travail, we stop and fondle the remnants which we will always keep in our hearts. Memories .... The year 1953 found us in our freshman year..clumsy, willing to try anything once, and for the most part a little incapable. The teachers found us quite a boisterous lot and we fought to maintain their opinion. The following year f1954j which was our sophomore reign split us up a little more. Choral Club, Boys' and Girls, Glee Club, sporting events, band, and other activities played an important part in our lives, and to top it off, we grew! 1955-found most of the boys running around in football uniforms while the girls were jousting with soccer and basketball. Intra- murals became more pleasant because we were now juniors and did not have to be a goal-tender or a substitute. Among the numerous social events was the Prom. This gala event was held at Madison Country Club. We all had a tremendous time! That brings us up to our lives and to you Harding we owe a deep, immeasurable sum. You have exemplified a free spirit and a liberal hand, when neces- sary, exercising your resources carefully and modulating your vast reserves of knowledge to the fullest possible extent. You have never become easily distressed at our failures to live up to your standards, but have continually urged us to keep striving. Our past has been rich, but our future can and will be much brighter. The cornerstone which you have laid in our minds has already given way to a much larger structure, a framework of nerve and sinew, constantly turning over new ideas and modes of thought. VVe shall never forget you Harding. You are deep down in our soulg wedged between the chambers of our heart. You have been the lifestream in our veins. That you should pass so quickly from our lives, leaves us cold and barreng but we are not the first to say good-bye, nor shall we be the last. You shall continue pouring out your rich wisdom into the hearts of young America, creating men from boys and women from girls. Our ignorance has been lessened, but more important, we have learned the art of association with our brethren. Our character has been molded and set to assume the personality of young men and women. We owe to you an immeasurable debt of gratitude through your patient efforts, and we only hope that we can uphold your criteria and conquer our problems. For these and for all the other countless heartaches and ills which you have suffered on our behalfg we thank you. The Class of 1956 Written by Kenneth Urban OI!
