KUJALA FRAZIER-LAVECK CO LAKE AVENUE BEAUTY SHOP ESEMH CHAPTER 1 HOW few people realized that in the fall of 1941 the Harbor School System was entering upon its Golden Eral How few knew that the next thirteen years were to be auspicious ones, rich in experiences and excitement! The reason? The be- ginning kindergarten class, of coursel But then, who could know that in thirteen years this nucleus of twenty-six mere children would have developed into a class of Fifty-seven individuals such as Harbor will never see again? Of course, it did not simply burst into bloom overnight; it rather grew like the slow, patient weav- ing of a tapestry, with the weaver casting out some threads, only to add others even more bright and colorful. CHAPTER II Miss Tilton, our kindergarten teacher, apparently recognized our innumerable talents immediately; for she set us to work developing both aesthetically and athletically. The field of Art re- ceived a thorough going-over by such masters as Jeannine De Noble, James Laird, Allen Nieminen, Audrey Haapula, Mariel Herlevi, David Kotila, Shirley Noble, Richard Perskari, Wilma Wagner, Eleanore Fuller, and Thomas Watts, all of whom spent much of their time drawing on the blackboards, eusels, and, occasionally, whoever had the misfortune of sitting near them. Scientific characteristics were exhibited by Charles Anderson, Nancy Beswick, Kathryn Hakala, Barbara Kellogg, Gary Russell, Janice Bolog, Shirley Carle, and Betty Sneory, who were special friends of Ramsey the Turtle. And the future athletes among us, Peter Dodge, Ronald Engel, Bob Pakkala, William Hamilton, John Riddell, Keith Lair, and Robert Peura, proved their masculine superiority once and for all when they slid down the brass pole on our class trip to the fire stationl CHAPTER III Of course, such fundamentals as first grade reading and counting held few terrors For such a group, but by the time we had reached second grade, we were glad to have some newcomers to add their talents to ours. Donna Davidson, Shirley Sidbeck, and Shirley Niemi demonstrated advanced cooking techniques when we canned tomatoes, and Linda Backlund and Frank Daniels had a lot of fun pushing everyone around in their movable seats. CHAPTER IV Our versatility was even more up arent the next year, when our homework brave y peeped out From between stickers attesting our academic t success. With a little help From John Konne, Mary Stevensfi Jacqueline Billhardt, and Elona Ruohonen, we constructed a monstrous dinosaur, using our typical ingenuity to invent a new artistic medium--paper towels. CHAPTER V We explored yet another artistic field, dramatics, in fourth grade. Having added Shirley Kopsas and Marian Lundi to our ranks, we cavorted gaily on the high school stage, reciting health rules and trying to look as rosy-cheeked as possible. CHAPTER VI Fifth grade Found us in an honored position in grade school, this was the year we held down the movie room. Aided by Jack PFetsch, we solemnly went about our duties of pulling down shades, closing doors, etc. , end enthusiastically saw each movie twice through. There were other diversions, too, such as the grade school carni- val at Wenner Field, where classmates, Mary Stevens and Richard Perskari were crowned king and queen. Congratulations to the Class of l954 P E N N E Y ' S MITCHELL HARDWARE COMPANY 12 CHAPTER Vll But time was marching briskly on, and we soon Found ourselves in the rather nice position of sixth graders. Weekly football games between the Washington and Jackson buildings indicated athletic and cheering talents in our three newcomers, Robert Di Donoto, David Kuivinen, and Susan Endelmann. Later in the year we tackled another dramatic plum, Rumpelstiltsken, with enioyment, once we had mastered the pronunciation of the title. As we left our grade school days forever behind us, perhaps we Felt a little twinge of sadness, but we were young and ambitious. Ahead lay new scenes, new teachers, new Fields to be conqueredl CHAPTER VIII The new Fields didn't exactly leap out at us to be conquered, we discovered. Rather, we Found our- selves scurrying around the halls, up the down stairs and down the up stairs, arms full of books and hearts full of fear of the upperclassmen. But genius will not be defeated, and by the time we had gone through iunior high, with our numbers increased by Roberta Vocchelli, Barbara Lehman, and Barbara White, we had gained 0 little niche in Harbor High School. The teachers didn't shout QUITE so loudly now, and the seniors didn't seem QUITE so big, somehow. CHAPTER IX The next year we were kept busy getting acquainted with all the newcomers from the parochial school: Ronald Candela, Janice Kusick, Jean Fisher, Roy Petros, Millie Saverice, Jim Shaughnessy, and Carl Simmons. At last we could go to some of the Senior High dances, and our heads puffed up like overblown balloons when we saw the upperclassmen viewing our freshman athletic record with esteem and respect. But we were hungering for an artistic triumph, too. CHAPTER X When our chance came, it was certainly different From what we expected. As the annual Variety Show, which includes the sophomore class play drew near, strange creatures, clothes buggy and torn, hair uskew, cnd Faces dirty, could be seen scompering around the School. The occasion? The class play, It's Cold in Them Thar Hills, 0 hillbilly saga. Helping in dramatics and ap- plause were newcomers Donna Wood and Janis Buzzard. CHAPTER XI Audrey Hopkins, Jack Maenpo, and Joe Rill ioined us for our first prom, at Unionville Tavern, in the eleventh grade. Our class picnic took an interesting turn; the boys decided nothing would be more Fun than to dunk the girls in the duck pond, and so they did. Oh well, even geniuses have to have Fun sometimes! CHAPTER XII At last, as Seniors, we received some of the honors so richly deserved. Mariel Herlevi was our Homecoming Queen, and Susan En- delmann iMiss Varietiest and Barbara White Statue of Libertyt took the bows at our Var- iety Show. Many of our classmates could be seen spouting lines from Seventeenth Sum- mer, our class play; and Bob Peura and Jack Pfetsch basked in the glory of beating Ashtabulo twice in basketball in one year. cw And now we are leaving these ivy-covered portals of Harbor. When again shall such on outstanding group grace the halls and classrooms with its presence? When again will the very air quiver with excitement in iust the same way? Never again, for in all the world cannot be found another group quite like this, our Senior Class. 13 Ellic and Kate ma Jack Pfetsch - Barbara w. l .' l I Dick Perskan E 2 Compl imenfs of Kuilh Lair ASKEW-BRINK FUNERAL HOME EDUCATIONAL SUPPLY COMPANY Ambulance Service Painesville, Ohio win? 1?

FORTNEY Insurance and Real Estate 4700 Main Avenue, Ashtabula, Ohio 29 vulediciorian LINDA Backlund tops the scholastic list in the Class of '54 with a point average of 4.000. However, this ambitious girl does not spend all her time studying. She is a member of the Bond, Choir, National Honor Society, Jr. Red Cross Council, Sr. Girls' Ensemble, and Yearbook Stuff. Music could well be described as the main interest in Linda's lite. Besides en- tering in district and state solo contests for the past 3 years, she has also been selected to play with the region- al orchestra at Kent and the state orchestra held in Co- lumbus. For several years now, Linda has been taking violin lessons at the Cleveland Institute of Music from Joseph Knitzer. As for the future, Linda plans to attend either Baldwin- Wolioce or the Eastman School of Music with the hope of some day teaching college music. suluIanrian ETTY Sneory takes honors for second place scholastically with on average of 3.692. Betty also takes part in many extra-curricular activities such 05 Sr. Girls' Club, National Honor Society, Canteen Council, Ushers Squad, Thespians, Choir, Giris' lntramurals, Editor of The Mariner, and Business Manager of the Yearbook Staff. In her few spare moments, Betty enioys watching television, dancing, and participating in sports. However, in the future her plans include attending Dyke-Spencerian Business College and she has the high hope of becoming an executive secretary one day. Harbor wishes the best of luck and success to these two intelligent and very likable Senior girls. LSO placing in the top ten of the Class of 1954 with a point average of 3.000 or better are the Following: Kathryn Hakolu, 3.667; Jeannine DeNoble, 3.559; Eleonore Fuller, 3.480; David Kotilo, 3.269; Mary Stevens, 3.137; Nancy Beswick, 3.i36; Donna Wood, 3.129;and David Kuivinen, 3.104. Best Wishes to the Cioss of '54 Capt. and Mrs. C. E. Endelmann 30 class Prephecy Dear Harbor Friends: This document started out a long time ago to be the Class Prophecy included in the '54 yearbook, but we have despaired of that volume's ever being completed in our lifetime. To let you know what has been happening to the graduates of 1954, we are sending this letter to each member of the class and to our friends. We have had to seek in some very unlikely places to Find all of them, but the record is now up to date, and here is the story. We found Jeannine De Noble still rushing around trying to collect material for that '54 yearbook. Janice Balog and Janice Kusick we did not actually see. They were last seen running down Bridge Street in hot pursuit of two sailors. By this time they may have set up housekeeping on some desert island. Having recently elected Frank Daniels as their new mayor, the citizens of Harbor are anticipating an era of peace. One dark cloud on the horizon, however, is the financial difficulties of the local bank. When we learned that John Riddell is the president of the bank, we thought we could understand its shortage of funds. Things over at Harbor High School are well under control, although we found some new faces among the Faculty. With Donna Davidson as head coach and Millie Saverice as her capable assistant, the Harbor Mar- iners are confident of a victorious season. Danna Wood has taken over Mrs. Casbourne's occupations class. The agricultris have definitely lostout at Harbor now, because Donna is a city girl . She does her farming in pots. The loss of spirit among the cheerleaders will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the excellent in- struction of Sue Endelmann and Shirley Kapsas. Jim Digney told us that he really intends to graduate this year with the Class of '64. Then he is going to Ohio State University to take a teacher's course. We found that because the Harbor has added so many television sets Elona Ruohonen and Shirley Sidbeck have added their services to the repair department of the North End TV. They have many opportunities to talk over old times with Barbara Kerins, news reporter at the Ashtabula TV station, and with Dick Williams, who frequentlyappears on the screen to demonstrate his talents with the cue stick. Carl Simmons has accepted a position as a pipe fitter with the Gas Company. Carl always was a firm believer in good connections. We located Betty Sneary in the barber shop which she is operating. To attract customers she has or- ganized her own barbershop quartet composed of Shirley Corie, Shirley Niemi, Shirley Noble, and Janis Buzzard . Ashtabula's most profitable used car lot belongs to Tom Watts of the Class of '54. He has been trying to sell Bob Pakkala a new model, but Bob is still determined to prove that his '34 Ford is not asteam engine. Bob Di Donato used to be one of Tom's most regular customers until he won in a raffle that I964 model Cadillac he is driving around town. Kathryn Hakala is driving a bus. She insists that she got in the habit during her long rides to school . Keith Lair gets to town quite often. He has become a member of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and in that capacity is conducting a course in safe driving. Patrons of Ashtabula's largest night club, The Spot, are always glad when they are lucky enough to have Wilma Wagner wait on their table. Those who attend the Harbor Palace will find David Kotila, versatile as ever, singing there in the evenings after all the farm work is done. It was Dave who told us that Chuck Anderson has iust graduated from college with a doctor's degree. His first patient was Dave's cow. O'LEARY'S SHOE STORE BELL'S CLOTHES HARBOR DEPARTMENT STORE HARBOR MOBIL SERVICE 1037 West Fifth Street I'lt Pays to Climb West Fifth Street Bob Stapleton 8t Bob Ric 3i Allen Nieminen has had to change his way of living to conform to his new iob. He has accepted the position of county game protector and, it is rumored, has bought a license For the first time. Jack Maenpa had to try any number of different jobs before he Found just the right one For his taste. He is a grave-digger For the You Dig 'Em Deep Company. After gaining some good experience at the famous Harbor Hotel, Linda Backlund is now appearing on the Mil- ton Berle show. She is not the only one of our class who has gone into the theatrical profession. Joe Rili, Har- bor's contribution to Hollywood, has just completed his first 4-D movie. Eleanore Fuller, familiar to all concert-goers, is now making a tour through the army hospitals. Maybe at the same time she is looking for a certain person. Mariel Herlevi has put her talent with the drums to such good use that she may now be found in the tympany section of the Metropolitan Opera Company's orchestra. Others at our classmates are famous names in sports circles. One of these, Barbara White, having recently won the women's wrestling championship, is now seeking tougher competition. Nancy Beswick and Barbara Kellogg prefer a less strenuous activity. Acknowledged to be the worid'scham- pion marble players, both are members of the AII-American team . Jackie Billhardt is now attempting to swim the Atlantic Ocean. If she makes it, we will always be con- vinced that she did it with concealed water wings. The center on a winning women's basketball team is Mary Stevens, who should have played that position on our varsity squad back in '54. Ray Petros is a sprinter on the Olympic track team. He developed his remarkable speed by running to school every morning. We certainly did misiudge Ray. We thought he had iust overslept. After playing for Penn State for four years, Jim Shaughnessy is about to begin his sixth year of playing pro football. Jack Pfetsch has deserted athletics in favor of research. After receiving his L. S.M.F. T. degree, he de- voted himself to studying the effects of nicotine on the human body. From experience comes faith, eh, Jack? Bab Peuro also believes in putting every experience to a good use. He has built up a thriving business producing a new kind of plastic nose guard for basketball players who fall down and break their noses. Jean Fisher is exercising iust her jaws. She is chief gum tester for the Big Blow Bubble Gum Company. John Kanne and Bill Hamilton are associate drivers at the Indianapolis Speedway. So far, their car has not Finished a single race, but give them time. They always did need time. We found Marian Lundi in the honorable position of chief bender in a paper clip factory. Four of our ciassmates are in New York City. Roberta Vacchelii is modeling bathing suits for an exclusive Fifth Avenue Shop. Designing women's clothing for the same shop, we find Peter Dodge. He specializes in French styles. Ronnie Candela has been promoted to head cartoonist for the Nifty Joke Book. All three of these get together often to talk over their school days with Jim Laird, a bartender famous all over the country for his new drink. It picks you up and lets you fall . We dislike to mention a fifth classmate who is living near the big city, but, if we are to make our record complete, we must do so. Audrey Hopkins is in Sing Sing, sitting out her term for smuggling. The saddest part of that business is that Audrey Haapala, head of the Crime Investigation Department, was forced to indict her former pal . To take the taste out of our mouth, we are glad to state that David Kuivinen has brought our class inter- national recognition. He is Finland's new ambassador from the United States. Dick Perskari is famous, too, but in a different way. In a recent vote taken by the women of the nation he was named the man with the best build. Realizing a lifelong ambition, Gary Russell, the renowned lion hunter, has ventured into Africa to explore and hunt. Ronnie Engel and Barbara Lehman have had to wait a while to see their dreams come true, too, but they are now raising their children on the moon. As we bring this newsletter to a close, we wish to each member of the Class of '54 many more years as full and as successful as these past ten have been. It the yearbook is not done yet, we shall make the rounds again in '74 to make our report.

HARBOR High School's newspaper, THE MARINER, is written, edited, and published every other Fri- day of the school year by a student staff under faculty supervision. Although the publication relies solely on its advertising revenue For financial support, every family in the Harbor community enioys THE MARINER free of cost. Approximately twenty-five hundred are distributed by a carrier corps of high school and grade school boys and girls. Now, with the recent addition ofc vocational printing department, copy for this newspaper can be set right here at Harbor. Serving as editor-in-chief for the first semester was Audrey Hopkins, with Betty Sneury as associate editor. Dur- ing the remainder of the year, Betty Sneury took over the editorship, with JoAnn Jeffers assisting. Editor Betty Sneory and Assistant Editor Jo Ann Jeffers look over the latest issue.

CHAPTER of the National Honor Society is now firmly established here at Harbor. Its motto, Character, Scholarship, Leadership, Service, is a special incentive to a high type of school work and service. Because of the high qualifications, this group is made up of a comparatively small number of students. In addition to their traditional task of cleaning the school after the Carnival, the admin- istration initiated the custom of taking the society to Cleveland to see their choice of entertainment. This year the eight members saw the New York production of The King and I, on April 9th. Another new responsibility for the National Honor Society this year was the organization and operation of Stu- dent Teaching Day. Mrs. Clara Alford serves as advisor for the group.

Walker, has led an active life this year, from two weeks before the start of school to the Memorial Day parade at the year's end. It opened the year with a series of half time football shows, culminating inoMarching Band Revue held atConneout. Immediately after this, it went into action as a concert band, playing at the dedication of Fowcett Gymnasium, a Rotary Club luncheon, and giving an outstanding performance at its Winter Concert. All activity was then directed toward two things - the Spring Concert and the Harbor Invitational Band Festival, which was held on May Ist. The ten participating bands took part in a parade, individual afternoon concerts, and an aIl-storbcnd concert, conducted by Leonard Smith, in the evening. choir lst low: M. Stevens, B. Pasanen, D.

THE Senior Choir, under the direction of Mr. George Marek, consists of approximately sixty students se- lected from grades ten, eleven, and twelve. This is the performance group of the choral music department, and membership in it is the highest distinction of this depart- ment. During the year the choir plans exchange concerts with surrounding schools. Beside these performances, the choir presented selections at the Christmas Meditation, Variety Show, and Spring Concert. The officers for this yearwere: David Kotila, president; Peter Dodge, vice-president; John RiddeH, secretary- treasurer; and Donna Davidson, librarian. The accom- panists were Eleonora Fuller and Lois Lehtinen. Director of the Choir - Mr. George Marek. Maierettes of the Senior Band demonstrate a parade formation.

THE SEASON IN REVIEW HE Freshman fooiball season couldn't actually be classified as either successful or unsuccessful. Out of four league games, the Junior Seamen won two and dropped two. In the two exhibition games played, they managed to win one while losing the other. At the conclusion of the season, their record stood at a 10ml 0F 3 wins and 3 losses .

R. Hill. J. Huhta, R. Sidbeck, G. Bordeaux, Mr. David Bevevino. Mr. Norbert Soltys. The big brass of the team: Head Coach Norbert Solfys, Captain Bob Peuru, and Assistant Coach David Bevevino. NORBERT SOLTYS: A native of Detroit, Mr. Norbert Soltys graduated from Alliance College and later earned his teaching degree from Edinburgh State Teachers College. He came to Harbor in 1952, taking over the position of assistant football coach. This season he was named head coach, a new and difficult iob. DAVID BEVEVINO: A newcomer to Harbor this year was the assistant coach, Mr. David Bevevino. Mr. Bevevino isa graduate oF Clarion State Teachers College, where he was awarded four varsity letters playing quarterback. Although this was his first year at Harbor, he proved very capable and earned the distinction of being well liked by all the players. Captain Bob Peura BOB PEURA: Beginning histootboll career in the seventh grade, this year's captain, Bob Peuro, proved to be the main stay of the team. Bob has played first string ball for three years, although, unfortunately for the Mariners; he was not able to play during his sophomore year due to on iniured wrist. For the lost two years, however, Bob could be seen in the fullback position playing outstanding football throughout. Despite bad luck and defeat, he was never known to quit trying. His spirit and attitude added con- siderably to the morale ot the whole team. ALTHOUGH this year's football team was laden with sixteen returning Iettermen plus a good crop of sophomores and you couldn't ask for two better coaches than Mr. Norbert Soltys and Mr. David Bevevino, they couldn't seem to produce a victory during the season. i i I i Q h t i C I In the first game of the year the underdogs, the Edgewood Bulldogs, upset the Mariners in the annual Anchor Fray, 39-7. Bob Peuro, Seamen captain, scored the lone touchdown. 'k f I k 'N i' 1' 'I' h I' The oniy highlight of the season was when the 30-point favorites, the Conneout Tro- jans, invaded Wenner Field, only to be tied 6-6 by a determined squad of Seamen. Bob McNutt was the star of this second game, as he scored the touchdown that tied the Tro- ians in the final minutes of play. Qttkii'iiti The third game found the Mariners upset again, this time by the Jefferson Falcons, 26-18. Scoring for the Harborites were Bob Lampela and Bob McNutt. iiitiiwwii For their fourth game the team traveled to Dover, Ohio, only to suffer their third setback of the year, 25-7. Bob Peura scored Harbor's lone touchdown. ttiiit'kt'k'k It was Homecoming and the opposition was Painesville Riverside, but again the Mor- iners were on the short end of a 25-21 score. Scoring for Harbor in this real thriller were Bob McNutt, Bob Peura and Ron Engel . wikttikitf Perry was the scene of their sixth defeat of the year when the team lost 19-13. Bob Peura and Dick Williams did the honors for Horbon titittttii Mentor came to Harbor and trounced the Seamen 50-6 in a rout. Bob Peura scored Harbor's lone TD. tittiiQQ'kQ In the final game of the season the Harborites traveled to Fairport but lost a heart- breaker.

This provides a main basketball court 84 feet long and 50 feet wide. On the ground level east of the main floor are facilities for boys' physical education and basketball, which include the director's office, locker rooms, shower room, team and supply room. On the second floor, above these Facilities, is the girls' physical education department, also consisting of director's office, locker room and shower room. The main basketball playing court runs in a north-south direction. On the east and west sides of this court are folding bleachers, which extend out 20 feet when open. The seating capacity of both sides is approximately 1,500 people. When not in use, the bleachers fold up against the wall. This gymnasium has been named in honor of J. A. Fowcett, who was high school principal for 24 years from 1929 through 1953. Mr. Fawcett, over all these years, gave faithful service to ath- letics both at Wanner Field and the old gymnasium.

E, the Class of '54, being of sound mind and in full possession of all our faculties, do hereby pause before departing from the hallowed halls ofour beloved alma mater and do hereby humble ourselves to give thought to those less fortunate individuals who we must leave behind us. To your friend and ours, Supt. Ralph Lanhom, we do leave these remembrances. First, we have set aside a 3' X 10' plot of ground for him to use as a parking lot. For our second gift, a motorcycle identical to that one found parked in the school yard during the early part of this year; it was owned by our cellmote, John Kanne. Also upon Mr. Lonhom, we lovingly bestow the well deserved nickname of Uncle Sam. We had best make it clear that in his case the true meaning of U. S. is Unsung Sleuth of 1954. To Mr. Harold Caylor, our fair, iust, and deserving adviser, we leave one possession which all year we have carefully treasured lest by excessive use we might dim its perfect shine; this is our record of 10096 at- tendance at not one, but all class meetings. In the no doubt vain hope that the members of the class of '55 may prove even a fraction as sound-minded us we, the graduates of '54, we hereby do distribute our numerous individual skills, talents, and possessions to those Juniors who, we feel, will best benefit from them.
