SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September 1938. nineteen bright-eyed boys and girls bounded into school to begin their first year of high school life. We soon called a meeting to choose our officers. Jeanne Snyder became the leader of our gang with Jean Currier as the vice president: Jim Slack kept the secretary's books and Shirley Unger, the treasurer's. The rest of our class consisted of the fol- lowing illustrious members: Jim Currier, Leland Kinsley, Lewis Pete, Mar' tin Groh, George Kesessi, Joe Currier, James Unger, Tom Williams, George Webber, Bernard Rennert, Anna Maston, Virginia Dorow, Esther Emmerick, Elsie Hostetler and Nancy Andress. After greeting our teachers, Miss Cat-- lin. Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Gannett, and Mr. Slack, we took up our subjects with zest but with a slight interruption by the Sophomores who came along to do their worst by way of an initiation. The ordeal of fun, torment, and merri- ment was survived by all with very little after-effect. We gave our share of members to all of the school activities and clubs. Soon our year's work was finished but we found that we had lost two members: Martin Groh Joe Currier. and Seventeen students came back i11 the fall of '39 all ready to begin the Sophomore year. George Rottari from Lorain joined us later to increase our number to 18. VVe were greeted by a new coach, Mr. Falace, while the smiling faces of Mr. Slack, Miss Catlin, and Mrs. Gannett greeted us again. We elected officers and George Webber took over the presidency with Jeanne Snyder his assistant, while Jean Currier fulfilled the office of secretary and treasurer. We initiated the freshmen in grand style and began diligently our work which was interrupted with plans for a minstrel that we enjoyed helping to give. When we returned from Christmas vacation we had lost George Rottari as the result of a fatal accident and Jim Unger had left us to seek his fortune. Soon Betty limery rejoined us from Birmingham and we completed the year in happy anticipation of the next. In 1940 George VVebber was again elected leader of our band of eighteen Juniors while Jeanne Snyder filled the vice-presidency, Shirley Unger was secretary and Bernard Rennert was treasurer. We found we had another new coach, Mr. Covault, and another commercial teacher, Miss Yeiter. Slack, and Miss Catlin, who was soon to become Mrs. Johannsen still graced our class rooms. We took over the candy business as well as a new venture, the school store, to earn money. Besides these we gave the Junior play en- titled June in January, the preparation of which was enjoyed as was also the presentation of this our Junior masterpiece. Time ushered in events rap- idly, giving us little rest. and soon we were planning our Junior-Senior ban- quet. We took our upper-classmen to the Lorain Country Club on April 26. After the dinner we saw a movie in Oberlin. Three members left us: George Keressi, Anna Maston. and Bernard Rennertg but David Gerstacker came from Rocky River to join us. We were very glad to close the year with a surplus in the treasury, a host of memories, and many hopes for the future. As the ever expected Senior year arrived our members were aquiver with excitement and plans. This year three new faces greeted us: Mr. Hartman, Miss Conard Zlllfl Mrs. Johnston. Of all the teachers from last year only Mr. Slack remained. We chose George VVebber as our leader again, Tom Wil- liams, vice president, Jean Currier was secretary and Elsie I-Iostetler, treas- urer. In March we began work on our play, Bolts and Nuts, which was given May 1 and 2. On May 9 the Juniors gave us a banquet at the Hi-O-Hi Tea Rooms which we all enjoyed and for which we thanked them very much. For our class trip, because of the national emergency, we did not go to Wasli- ington but went to Detroit and Greenfield Village. This event will be re- membered by all of us. We chose for our class colors brown and yellow and the yellow rose was our flower. Our motto was On to Victory l The bacca- laureate service was held at the Methodist Church on May 17. Reverend Riggs gave the address. On May 20 we officially ended our high school life and entered into the malestrom of life with earnestness and determination. THE HUB
