Miss Tran took over and taught us the three R’s. At the end of this year jacaueline Sandusky, Marilyn Dent, Bessie Kelly, Arnold Collins and Robert Lawson left us. We again had Miss Tran in our second grade. Our class gradually got smaller as Robert Richards and Norman Butler left us. Miss Adams took ‘us’ in the third and fourth grades. Here we were taught how to read the big clock on the wall. In the fourth grade we said ‘hello’ to Charles Willman, Violet Weitzel, Richard McCracken and Marjorie Meyer. We said'farewell' to Shirley Lower who moved to South Amherst. In the fifth grade we welcomed our new teacher, Mrs. Mitchell, who taught us long division and started us on history. This year we bid farewell to Betty Kazmierczak. Mrs. Rust had us in the sexth grade. She took the hard job of training us for high school. Ann Blackburn left us to go to St. Mary’s in Elyria. Seventh grade at last! We thought we were really big because we had different teachers, changed classes and had our own lockers. We said ‘hello’ to Nancy Fling. In the eighth grade we were still trying to adjust ourselves to the changes we found upstairs. At the end of this year we said ‘good-bye’ to James Knechtges who went to St. Thomas Academy in Minnesota and to Charles Willman who moved to Green Springs, 0. Freshmen! We had finally made it to high school. Now we could choose the subjects we wanted and select our class officers. We also started thinking up ideas to enlarge our class treasury. Violet Weitzel left us to attend Andrews School for Girls in Willoughby. In our Sopho- more year we found it to be kind of dull except for the selling of pen- cils and magazine subscriptions. The big thing this year we selected our class rings from Bastian Brothers. With our Junior year we found it the busiest of all. We sponsored two successful dances, sold pop and popcorn at the basketball games and helped publish the ‘Purple and Gold’. We also helped to put on the Junior-Senior play, ‘Desperate Ambrose’. The most important event was the Junior-Senior Prom, which we gave the Seniors. This was held on May 12th in the school auditorium and was decorated in a Hawaiian fashion. Music was furnished for dancing by Rocco Trombetti and a delicious banquet was served by the Junior mothers. We said ‘good-bye’ to Donna Jarkowski, Marcia Glover, Gerald Overy and congratulated Norma Brehm on her marriage to Edward Fildes. Now that we are Seniors we look back on the long twelve years and we find that they were very happy and gay years. The last and final year was another busy one. We had our individual pictures taken by Indicoot’s Studio in Elyria and we selected our announcements and name cards from Herff-Jones. We sponsored two dances and a play, ‘The Lucky Penny’ with the Juniors. We also kept helping to publish the ‘Purple and Gold’. The Editor-in-Chief of our publication was Carl Filipiak. The last three events and the most important were the Junior-Senior Prom which the Juniors gave us, Baccalaureate and Commencement. The Rev. Fred Stroebel delivered the Baccalaureate address, and Dr. Blair Stewart, Dean of Men at Oberlin College, gave the Commencement address. Our last day in school, Class Day, was spent saying eoodbye to our classmates and teachers. We now are going out into the world to make a place for ourselves and we will look back on those twelve years with happy memories. BACCALAUREATE ORDER OF SERVICE PROCESSIONAL . . .

Like most of the other members of the class I found it hard to decide upon a vocation, but by the year of 1957 I had finished my business courses and had found a terrific Job with a large law firm. With report- ers coming in every day for stories you will never guess who I ran across one day, - one of my old classmates and friends, Wilma Schwed, who is a reporter for the ‘New York Times’. She had come to find some facts from my employer about a recent investigation of a bank robbery. Sur- prised to see each other we planned to go out to lunch and talk over old times. We spent a wonderful afternoon reliving our school days, as you may well imagine. Much to our surprise we found that our husbands, Bill and Art, were both stationed at the Naval Base in San Diego, Cal- ifornia. With our vacations coming we made plans to drive out to spend the remainder of their training period with them. To our joy our vacation time finally arrived, and with our last minute arrangements taken care of we were on our way. Our first stop was Pittsburgh and while looking for a place to stay we saw to our great surprise, Carl Filipiak walking down the street carrying a large suit- case and sample brushes in his pockets. Immediately we stopped the car and rushed over to talk to him. When we asked what he was doing, he re- plied that he was working as a Fuller Brush salesman. He told us that he liked it a lot. He invited us over to his home to meet his wife and have dinner with them. During dinner we talked over the good times we had had in school, and he told us to stop and see Carl Jantz who lived in Indianapolis, Indiana, and that he has entered the 500-mile racing classic on Memorial Day. We thanked Carl and his charming wife for their hosDitality and said, ‘Good-bye’, with a promise to return. We followed Carl’s advice and went directly to Indianapolis. Immediately we headed for the Speedway. While driving through the grounds, we noticed many posters with ‘Slink Jantz’ written in big letters. When we saw the picture of him we recognized it as the ‘Slink’ we knew in high school. After pushing and shoving through the crowd we managed to obtain two admission tickets with the idea of find- ing him in the ‘Pits’. When we reached the ‘Pits’ there was ‘Slink’ working over his car. Very surprised and glad to see us, he rushed over. With the time for the race drawing near he had to leave us, but gave us passes to his box seats and told us to go and sit with Linda. The seats were wonderful, right at the last curve and from there we could see plenty of action. The race was a thrilling one with ‘Slink’ coming in third. We went down to the ‘Pits’ to give our congratulations and and to say ‘Good-bye’. While driving through junction City, a small town in Kansas, we happened to see large posters showing a familiar face and the slogan, ‘Vote for MCCRACKEN FOR MAYOR’. We stopped auickly and asked the first person passing by where we could find Mr. McCracken. He told us that Mr. McCracken owned ‘the’ barbershop down the street. Yes--there he was, ‘Milt’ McCracken. Milt asked us if we had noticed the posters, then he invited us to stay and hear his campaign speech at the Town Hall, that evening. Milt was full of surprises because when we arrived at the Town Hall he introduced us to his wife and his two-year old sons, - triplets! We spent a wonderful evening playing with the darling children, who looked just like Milt, and talking with his charming wife, who showed us a very enjoyable time. When we arrived in Colorado we went directly to Denver to see Margie Meyer who is living there with her husband Larry of the Air Force. Upon reaching her house we found that Margie was not home, but Larry told us that we could find her at the factory. At this statement we were greatly surprised and inquiring further we found that she had established the 'Margie's Potato Chip Company . Rushing down to the plant, we talked with Margie. She told us that in her spare time she was doing charity work, singing for the Salvation Army at the Music Hall. Margie had certainly turned out to be a good business woman, and we were glad for her success. She told us to go down to Texas to see Faye Strickland with whom she keeps in contact. Our next stop was San Antonio. As we had to cash some Travelers Checks we stopped at the Lone Star National Bank. Much to our surprise we recognized the cashier as one of our G.H.S. classmates, Faye Strickland! She has a very interesting and responsible position and enjoys her work very much. She told us that Allan and she have a son, Allan Jr. and own their home in San Antonio. She Invited us for the week-end and naturally we were more than glad to accept. Allan and Faye showed us a wonderful week-end,their home is a lovely one and they are supremely happy. After thanking them for their kind hospitality we bade farewell and left for Nevada. We stopped at Las Vegas, Nevada to see if it was as wonderful as we had always heard. We were glancing through the evening paper look- ing for some kind of entertainment for the evening when we noticed a lecture was to be given on the ‘Evils of Gambling’, this sounded as though it would be interesting, especially in this part of the state. To our surprise Dr. Nancy Flingwasthe main speaker. After the lecture we congratulated Nancy on her magnificent address. She was auite sur- prised to see us, and we were delighted to find another of our class at old Grafton Hi who had become a real success. After spending a week-end with nancy, the famous Professor of Psychology at the University, we bade our farewell. As we had one day left before we were to meet our husbands,we left for Hollywood to tour some of the motion pictures studios. Going through 'M.G.M.’ we spotted one of our former classmates, Marilyn Schworer, taking pictures of the movie stars, suddenly we recalled her favorite hobby, photography. We were very glad to see each other and while talking she told us that she was singing at the Paladium during this week. She showed us the thrilling and exciting L.A. As we were anxious to see our husbands we said good-bye and thanked her for the wonderful time. We had had an unusually pleasant time, traveling and seeing our former classmates, but when we reached San Diego we were more than glad to see our husbands and settle down. Our apartments were close together so we could spend much time together, in gay reminiscence.

The theme was ‘Hawaiian Paradise’. On walking into the gym one found a bridge of green and white, spanning imitation water. It was decorated with blossoms from May Apples and Confetti. Miles of red, yellow, green, and other brightly colored crepe paper covered the gym in an octagonal shape. Around the floor were placed palms, and a palm tree stood at the entrance to the stage. Here some of our pictures were taken. The punch bar was located in a small, decorated room on the stage. The junior mothers served a wonderful turkey dinner on small card tables, decorated with small individual palm trees and place cards and memory books with a Hawaiian scene pictured on them. In the center of the tables were vases with crochetted carnations of pink and white in them. After the dinner, music for dancing was furnished by Rocco Trombetto’s Orchestra. As we danced that night, we looked around at all our guests enjoying themselves, and knew that all our work and planning was not in vain. Now as we look back upon our prom, we know that it will always hold a cherished place in our memories.

The outlook for a successful basketball team didn’t look too bright this year. Due to graduation, this year’s squad was short of experience and height. But the team was out to learn basketball. The Comets ended the 1951-52 basketball season with 2 wins and 14 setbacks. It was not too good a season as far as wins and losses, but we learned some basketball, and the Comets hope to have a more success- ful season next year. - The Varsity Record - Columbia 50 Grafton 42 Avon 40 ‘ ' 42 Ridgevllle 57 ' ' 33 5outh Amherst 64 ’ 21 Brookside 56 ‘ ' 47 Eaton 64 ‘ 62 Columbia 49 ‘ 39 Avon 63 ‘ ‘ 48 Avon Lake 44 ’ ' 23 Ridgevllle 61 ‘ ‘ 44 South Amherst 55 32 Brookside 71 51 Eaton 74 ' ‘ 27 Belden 60 5 Avon Lake 60 ' ‘ 34 County Tournament 40 LaGrange 39 RESERVE BASKETBALL TEAM First Row - Jaatt Addis, Manager; Chock Braine, George Kaisierciak, Ron Camel, Robert Ovary, Gerald Bycsynski, Manager.

FOOTBALL RESUME The Grafton High Comets inaugurated the 1951 football season by giving up the opener to Avon 42-18, a hard-fought battle. For the second game the Comets traveled to Columbia to be handed another de- feat 19-13; then Avon Lake came to Grafton and took home a 52-8 victory. With “dogged determination” our Comets turned the tables and were vict- orious over LaGrange 20-13; however, when they traveled to Ridgeville they were set back 52-32. The South Amherst Cavaliers then came to Grafton and whipped us under the lights 32-6; the Comets next went to Brookside and on an ice and snow covered field surprised Brookside by handing them a 24-8 loss. When the season closed they rightfully had a feeling that they had had a somewhat satisfactory season in spite of their several defeats.
