HARTVI LLE HISTORY HARTVILLE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1946, a group of frightened, starry-eyed children entered the port of education at Hart- ville. We were a small, eager crew of thirty people. Our Skippers on this first voyage were Mrs. Knight and Miss Merkle. In the the second grade we set sail with Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Cathon. Our greatest achievement this year was learning to write. Next, we embarked into the rough waters of grade three with Mrs. Fulmer and Mrs. McCartney. Among the things to master this year was learning to multiply. We set sail in our fourth year with Miss Shaffer and Mrs. McCartney. This was the year of our first exams. Finally, in our fifth year, we were sent topside where our upstairs teachers were Mr. Brumbaugh and Mrs. Balliet. Two new members signed up with the crew-Iudy Iackson and Linda Slingluff. As sixth graders, our adventure as Grade School Chi1dren was almost over. Our teachers were Mr. Werstler and Mr. Paul. In the seventh grade, we welcomed a few more privileges and changed classes for the first time. Our first experiences in parliamentary procedure were in evidence as we held class meetings and elected class officers. This year, Mr. Savage was appointed our sponsor, and we were happy to have Carol Eshelman sign the roster. Two new sailors joined our eighth grade crew--Terry Ewing and Leona Coblentz. This was the year for better organized class meetings and the responsibility of dance arrangements along with more interest- ing and varied activities. The day finally arrived for our great promotion. Our rank was raised to Freshmen. This year we chose our subjects and elected the following officers: President, Bill Schoryp Vice President, Bonnie Slusser: Secretary, Keith Knowles: Treasurer, lim Stoll. Two new students carne aboard on this voyage-Katie Cavalier and Noah Borntrager. When our Sophomore year arrived, we sold basketball schedule pencils.

UNIONTOWN HISTORY UNIONTOWN CLASS HISTORY By Becky Grable In September 1946, eight of the 1958 graduating class of Lake Local High School embarked on the first lap of their journey in formal education from the port of Uniontown school. They were Iim Whittaker, Hugh Wise, Bob Bourn, Vera Miller, Ronnie Miller, Ioan Barta, Kenny Iones and Becky Grable. These little sailors were accompanied by proud mothers who tearfully bid them bon voyage and left them in the hands of the Skipper , Miss Erlewine, who, during the year, skillfully unfolded some of the mysteries of reading, spelling and arithmetic. This group sailed along during the next six years and started their seventh year under the able super- vision of Mr. Witherow. There were twenty-six on board the craft of learning by this time. Bonnie Poe, Lowell Kinsley, Marlene Atkinson, Ianet Matson, Iim Baldinger, Nancy Noel, Rex Diehl, Marsha Orr. Mary Ann Susdorf had joined the crew. On the last lap of the grade school journey eighteen sailed into port. Mrs. Gamble was the skipper and the crew was ably handled by President lim Whittaker, Vice President lim Baldinger, Secretary Bonnie Poe, and Treasurer Ianet Matson. This year Terry Pagna joined the group. Leaving smaller craft behind, the crew now numbering thirty boarded the ship Uniontown High Schoo1. Officers were elected and the journey was started from rank Freshman to Seniors. The 1958 graduates who joined the Freshman crew in 1954 were Pat Gold, Herbert Kiester, Sonny Manno, and Dave Iarvis. The next year still numbering thirty having lost four of the crew but gaining Pat Brown, Dick Mishler, Larry Barnes, Iack Dost and Carlon Howington, the group ranked as sophomores. They were represented in football, basketball, cheerleader and various active groups. Sailing into the Iunior year having lost two and gaining Ina Green twenty-nine crewmen began to feel the pole of rough waters. Money must be made for the Iunior-Senior Prom. Tax Stamps were col- lected, a ham supper was served, newspapers were gathered and candy sold. We were also the first class to make a float for the annual homecoming dance. Our class also sponsored the sweetheart dance. Every- body worked hard. Class officers were President Bob Bourn, Vice President Pat Gold, Secretary Marlene Atkinson, Treasurer Dave Iarvis. Not until the end of the year did the crew learn that this was to be the last sailing from port Uniontown High School. Larger craft was manned and in the fall of 1957 sixteen Uniontown High Seniors joined the ranks of Lake Local High School at Hartville for the last lap of their voyage. Some of their fellow crewmen joined the ranks of Springfield Township High School thus separating a crew that started together eleven years before. Iim Whittaker, Hugh Wise, Bob Bourn, Vera Miller, Ronnie Miller, Lowell Kinsley, Bonnie Poe, Marlene Atkinson, Nancy Noel, Marsha Orr, Terry Pagna. Pat Gold. Sonny Manno, Dick Mishler, Pat Brown, Ina Green and Becky Grable went to Lake Local and Kenny Iones, Ioan Barta, Ianet Matson, lim Baldinger, Mary Ann Susdorf and Dave Iarvis went to Springfield Township High. Ioining forces with the Hartville crew meant combining efforts and the results were gratifying. They were proud that Union- town's Iim Whittaker made All County in sports.
