And what do you think? It was an invitation to attend Jeanne Goode!s wed- ding, She's been so successful as a lady detective that Mm quite surprised that she wants to give up HER CAREER, BUT JEANNE ALWAYS WAS A GOOD COOK, If my hubby's morgue business doesn't get better, I'll have to find myself a career. The only consola- tion ABOUT THIS BUSINESS IS THAT WE HAVE A NICE, QUIET PLACE TO BRING UP OUR SIX KIOS. I WENT SHOPPING FOR A NEW DRESS TO WEAR AND WHOM SHOULD I MEET BUT ANNA GR IEN . SHE AGREED TO HELP ME WRITE UP THE GALA EVENT FOR THE STAR-BEACON. ANNA HAS BEEN DOING ALL RIGHT AS A Tl GHT-ROPE WALKER. While in town, we met MARIAN URBAN. She's rest- ing up between engagements at Carnegie Hall, where she is the top program seller, RUTH Sll MONS called while I was doing dishes that evening. She has been a campfire girls' leader for some time. From the looks of her cute home, I bet RuTHI E REALLY KNOWS HOW TO KEEP THE HOME FI RES BURN- I NG, Today is a big day. Most brides are very nervous ON THEIR WEDDING DAY AND I DON'T IMAGINE JEANNE IS ANY EXCEPTION. JO HERL PICKED ME UP ON THE WAY TO THE CHURCH. SHE LOOKED VERY LOVELY, AS USUAL. JO HAS HAD A GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE AS A COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER. LAST WEEK SHE WAS SQUEEZED VERY TIGHT- LY, WHILE IN THE CITY ZOO, By A PYTHON, NO LESS. Anna warned me not to be too surprised at JOHNNY CARTER'S appearance. It seems that his job as care- taker at Lake Shore Park proved so interesting that Johnny spends all his time learning different tech- niques AND FORGETS ABOUT HIS OWN LOVE LIFE. SNAP out of it, John, you should have enough knowledge to GO INTO BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF. The other half of the t49 class twin combination, WILLIE CARTER, has been having fun, tooc He runs a DOLL HOSPITAL IN WEST ANDOVER. We ALWAYS KNEW W|LL- IEfS KIND HEART WOULD HELP HIM SOMEDAY. WHILE AT THE wedding, Willie informed us that West Andover is now a thriving metropolis. Some change, from t49, when the Village Inn was the one and only building. JOANNA HIKER, always the witty one, is now a brain surgeon. Which goes to prove that blood is thicker than water. I don’t know what that has to do with Joanna’s occupation but it seems like a fitting quo- tation. At the reception, BETTY OUKE admitted to being a JUI JITSU EXPERT. An D BETTY USED TO BE SO FRAIL, GERRY BOWDLER was supposed to be a bride’s maid BUT SHE SPILLED ONE OF HER CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENTS ON HER DRESS AND THE ACID ATE A HOLE IN THE SATIN. THAT SEEMS TO BE PROOF THAT GERRY USED HER TALENTS ACQUI RED IN LAB WORK AT K. H. Se AS I BALANCED MY CUP IN ONE HAND AND MY PLATE IN THE OTHER, WHO SHOULD I SPY BUT DUANE HATCH. HE MANAGED TO GET OFF FROM HIS JOB AS A COMMERCIAL PI- LOT FLYING SUPPLIES TO MAROONED ESKIMOES, TO COME TO THE WEDDING. He BROUGHT A BEAUTIFUL SEALSKIN TABLE- CLOTH for Jeanne and her hubby. AUDREY PICKENS appeared for only the wedding and THEN RUSHED OFF. SHE IS NOW CO-OWNER OF A DOWNTOWN CHUCK WAGON, WITH PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES AS HER SPECIALTY. WASN’T AUDREY THE GAL THAT ALWAYS WENT BACK FOR PEANUT BUTTER SECONDS? HER BUSINESS IS THRIVING NICELY, SO I GUESS SHE DOESN’T EAT ALL OF THEM. Just then the air was full of rice as the bride AND GROOM SLIPPED OUT. SOME OF THE FELLAS AND SHIR- LEY DEWEY TIED OLD CANS AND SHOES ONTO THEIR CAR. AS THEY DROVE OFF, SHIRLEY TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD COM- BINED HER TWO MAIN AMBITIONS—OF PHYS. ED. INSTRUCT- OR AND ELEMENTARY TEACHER. SHE’S NOW SWINGING HER BASEBALL BAT AT THE GIRLS REFORMATORY. TOO ’ KEITH FLACK has attained some degree of fame. He IS HEAD OF A SCHOOL CHILDREN ’S UNION. RIGHT NOW HIS UNION IS ON STRIKE FOR BETTER GRADES AND SHORTER WORKING HOURS. BETTY HAYES, now just as cute as ever,got married ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER OUR CO MM E N C EM ENT. SHE HAS BEEN VERY BUSY IN HER CAREER OF RAISING SCOTTIES. Also married shortly after graduation was JEAN- NETTE URBAN. Her husband operates a bowling alley in Geneva. Much fun, or so I hear. BOB MCCAUSLAND has reached great heights as a new MEMBER OF THE BALLET RuSSE. MUCK REALLY HAS TALENT AND CAN EXECUTE A PIROUETTE LIKE AN EXPERT. BETTY HILTABIOEL is one member of the class that IS BEHIND BARS. NO—NOT IN THE JUG, EITHER. BETTY IS THE HEAD TELLER IN THE NATIONAL BANK IN ASHTABULA. LOIS CRANDALL has had a very exciting career, as WATER GIRL FOR THE CLEVELAND BROWNS. CHIN-CHINNING with Mac Speed!e, huh, Lois? RUTH MAKYNEN has used her artistic skill. She is A NECKTIE MANUFACTURER. IT SEEMS RUTH REMEMBERS SOME OF THE LOVELY CREATIONS THAT FLOATED THRU THE HALLS OF K. H0 S. DURING 749. DON THEISS FINALLY ACHIEVED HIS HEARTS DESIRE. HE GOT INTO FOOTBALL. IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT DON’S TEAM HAS LOST 72 GAMES IN A ROW. THAT IS NO REFLEC- TION UPON HIS COACHING ABILITY, FOR IF THEY LOSE THEIR HEADS AND WIN A GAME, THEY’LL BE PLAYING IN the Powder Bowl one of these daysJ SURPRISE’ SURPRISE: NORMA HOGLE is very success- ful AS A TATTOO EXPERT. IT’S STRANGE HOW SHE’S AC- QUIRED SUCH SKILL.

Betty Hayes CLASS OF '49 (Tune: Oh, My Dating Clementine ) In a schoolhouse, On Route 90, Dwelt the class of '49. NOW THE END'S COME, Now WE MUST RUN ; How WE LOVE THAT CLASS SO FINE. rus: We are going, We are go ing, We are going for all time — 'Member sweetly, Mourne us deeply — Kingsville's class of '49. We are smart, We are athletic, And the school is so depressed. We've departed Whence we started, We are grieved by all the rest. (Chorus ) MINOR KEY We ARE SIGHING, We ARE SOBBING, We are trying to believe, That we're glad Of our freedom; Sad that soon we must leave. (Chorus ) We have wit, and We have charm, And we hate to leave you thus; But we promi sed Long ago, that We would make it or we'd bust. (Chorus ) DEMON IN THE DARK Miss Margaret Mischick oirecteo the cast of the SENIOR PLAY THROUGH WEEKS OF PRACTICE, WHICH WAS CULM IN AT E 0 ON NOVEMBER 19 BY THE PRESENTATION OF the play, Demon In The Dark. The scene was the living room of Lafitte's Look- out Loooe, now the property of the Trevor Sisters. It was formerly owned by the girls' uncle, Uriah Coffin, the cause of much of the mysticism of the PLAY. The plot centers around Sonora (Marian Urban), TOO HEAO-STRONG AND COURAGEOUS FOR HER OWN GOOD. Duncan (Bob McCausland) ano Janet (Gerry Bowdler) TRY TO PERSUADE HER TO RETURN TO HER OWN HOME IN Bayouville but Sonora refuses. Ethelind (Betty Hayes) and Bob (Keith Flack) conspire to frighten THE SERVANTS SO AS TO GET THEM TO LEAVE, THUS forcing Sonora to leave or stay sy himself with the McTavishes. But Deryk (George Kaull) arrives IN TIME TO MIX THIS CONSPIRACY UP SOMEWHAT. Dido's (Jo Hiner) and Juniper's (Willie Carter) FEAR OF HA'NTS, PLUS LIZZIE'S (MARY LOU ShERMAn) FEAR OF THE CRAWLING HAND NEEDED VERY LITTLE COAX- ING from the Creole woman, or the ghost of Uriah Coffin to keep the auoience on the edge of their SEATS THROUGHOUT THE PERFORMANCE. When Sonora came up missing and Mary's (Shirley Dewey) hand was nearly cut off, Bob proved himself A HERO BY CAPTURING THE BlONDE BANDIT. SONORA RE ALI ZED THAT BOB WASN'T A COWARO AFTER ALL. Just when all seemed to go well, the ghost of Uriah Coffin turned up, sut Lizzie fixed him with ONE BLOW FROM HER BOOT-JACK AND THE GHOST WAS NONE OTHER THAN ROBIN McTAViSH (Don ThEISs). The crawling hand was found to be nothing but a TRAINED WHITE RAT ANO THE CREOLE WOMAN IS NONE OTHER THAN DUNCAN McTAViSH. STUDENT DAY IS OBSERVED On Fri day,January 7, the Senior Problems of Ameri- can Democracy Class took over the duties of the high SCHOOL FACULTY e THIS PLAN WAS FORMULATED SO THAT THE SENIORS MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO STEP INTO THE COVETED SHOES OF THE TEACHERSo The student teachers were elected by a school BOARD COMPOSED OF BETTY DUKE, PRESIDENT; MARY LOU Sherman, clerk; and Ruth Simmons, Jean Urban, Anna Grien, and Lois Crandall0 Qualifications considered WERE INTEREST IN THE SPECIFIED SUBJECT, PLEASING PERSONALITY, AND ABILITY TO WORK WITH STUDENTS e Audrey Pickens was superintendent and teacher of PHYSICAL EDUCATION, AMERICAN HISTORY, AND P. Ae D Substitute for the Commercial department was Joanna Hiner. Industrial Arts, biology, and physics were TAUGHT BY WlLLlE CaRTER. MARIAN URBAN REIGNED IN the Home economics and science departments Math and English classes were handled by Gerry Bowdler. Shirley Dewey taught English, history, and geography CLASSES AND BETTY HAYES TOOK OVER ENGLISH AND LATIN CLASSES. Student day was considered successful by all who PARTI Cl PATED . ONE-ACT PLAY On May ii, the seniors presented a one-act play, I Shall Be Waiting . The following week, the cast competed at New Lyme in the preliminaries of the County One-Act Play Contest. Cast in the play were Audrey Pickens, Mary Lou Sherman, Robert McCausland, George Kaull and Willie Carter. I Shall Be Waiting was capably directed by Mrs. Margaret Konnert. Jeanne Goode was prompter and Ouane Hatch was stage manager. Although it didn't WIN ANY LAURELS IN THE CONTEST, WE KNOW THAT THE CAST PUT ON A TOP-NOTCH PERFORMANCE. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On March 25, the Junior class presented their play, One Wild Ni ght. The play centered around Rodney Dodd, a rich, healthy young man, who thinks he is an invalid� Mr. Dodd must have absolute quiet so Henrietta, the maid, and Jodwillow, the butler, MUST SEE TO IT THAT IT IS QUIET. Rodneyts Aunt Myra comes to visit. She is an in- valid, too� She brings with her a traveling compan- ion, Charlotte Allen, who is full of life and pep. Rodney wants to impress his aunt, because he is BROKE AND NEEDS REIMBURSEMENT, AND TO DO THIS HE HAS TO ACT AS AN INVALID; BUT HE ALSO WANTS TO IMPRESS Miss Allen, and to do this, he has to be full of LIFE AND ZEST. He HAS QUITE A TIME TRYING TO PLEASE THEM BOTH. FINALLY AUNTMYRA ADMITS THAT IT IS BEST TO LEAD A FULL, ACTIVE LIFE, AND EVERYONE IS HAPPY.

Ho So STUDENTS ON THAT FATEFUL 24TH DAY OF SEP- TEMBER, 1948 © Yes, it was the Freshman Initiation DaYo and Did those Freshi es get the works!

Donna Wick SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President Vi ce President Secretary Larry Sunbury Rodney Hadlock Lenna Hawn Treasurer Norma Shellhammer A V t % y? b t A St s;j i C T I V I T I € S KINGSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL'S PUBLICATIONS Formerly in Kincsville High School, there were TWO LITERARY GUILDS. ONE WAS KNOWN AS THE IDEALS AND THE OTHER ONE WAS KNOWN AS THE GUIDING STARS. These two organizations had for their colors crim- son AND GOLD RESPECT I VELY. THESE GUILDS MET ON ALTERNATE MONTHS. Every member in the High School was a member of ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE LITERARY GUI LOS. By DRAW- ING STRAWS OR BY CHOOSING IN TURN, EACH INCOMING Freshman was assigned either to the Ideals or to the Guiding Stars. He would remain as a member of THE GUILD TO WHICH HE WAS ASSIGNE0 THROUGHOUT HIS YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL. These clubs sponsored a variety of activities SUCH as athletic contests, scholastic contests, AND MANY OTHERS. FINALLY, WHEN THE ACTIVITY SCHE- DULE BECAME VERY FULL, IT WAS DECIDED TO EDIT A SCHOOL PAPER. THIS PAPER WAS CALLED CRIMSON AND Gold,” honoring the two clubs' colors. This name WAS RETAINED UP TO AND INCLUDING THE AY ISSUE IN 1936. Starting with the October issue in 1937, the name Centralight was adopted, and is still seing useo.

The Slogan or the Student Council i C; WE SERVE OUR SCHOOL ■ KINGSVILLE SCHOOL BANO When Roland Graves came to Kingsville in the TALL or 1947 TO DIRECT THE SCHOOL BAND, HE FOUND NINE FORMER BAND MEMBERS WAITING EAGERLY WITH THEIR INSTRUMENTS TO AGAIN BE IN THE BAND. In THE 1947-4® SEASON, HE BUILT THE BAND UP TO A MEMBERSHIP OF FORTY MEM3ERS. A PARENTS BaND Booster Club was organized. The ragged, faded GOLD LINING OF THE UNIFORMS WAS REPLACED BY SHINY, NEW RAYON TAFFETA MATERIAL. ThE CAPES AND HATS THEN RECEIVED A MUCH NEEDED DRY CLEANING. Wh EN THE BANO PRESENTED ITS FIRST CONCERT, PEOPLE MAR- VELED AT THE APPEARANCE OF THE NEAT, WHITE SKIRTS OR TROUSERS AND SHIRTS WITH BLACK TIES, AND OF COURSE, THE BRIGHT, CLEAN CAPES AN 0 HATS. The MEMBERS OF THE BAND WERE THEN ASKED TO PLAY for a Masonic banquet; and later, at a P.T.A.meet- ing. A MASSED-BAND CONCERT WITH PlERPONT, AuSTIN- 8URG, W I LLI AMSFI ELD, ANO ROCK CREEK BANDS PARTICI- PATING, AND PLAYING FOR MEMORIAL Day SERVICES WERE INCLUOED IN THE BAND'S SCHEDULE. Band practice continued throughout the summer of 1946� The North Kingsville Firemen invited Mr. Graves sano to play at their carnival in August, This also helped the rapioly increasing Boosters' TREASURY. NEW MUSIC ANO SUPPLIES WERE BOUGHT. When the 1946-49 school year began last Septem- ber, THE BANO WAS COMPRISED OF APPROXIMATELY SIXTY MEMBERS. THE BANO THIS PAST SEASON PLAYED FOR THE Rededication of Route 9° and also put on their an- nual SPRING CONCERT. With only three of the present band memsers GRADUATING THIS SPRING, WE CAN EXPECT BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS FROM THIS UP-AND-COMING BAND WHICH WAS STARTEO WITH ONLY NINE EXPERIENCED MEMBERS. OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY When this school was built in 1928, our school library was started. In 193 , the library had no FICTION BOOKS LISTED, BUT HAD 15 BOOKS ON POETS, 51 on History, 34 on Geography, 25 on Science, 10 on Agriculture, 29 on Vocations, 19 in the Commer- cial field, 25 on General Literature, 10 on Indus- trial Arts, 10 on Home Economis, 10 on Physical Education, 25 on Music and 29 on Social and Politi- can Science.

Those serving this year are Rose Best, Jeannette Reed, Jeanne Goode, Janyce Baldwin, Lau- retta Simmons, Wanda Simon, Norma Shellhammer and Maureen Wharram. The duties of the student librarians are to assist students in the use of the library, helping THEM LOOK FOR BOOKS ON DIFFERENT SUBJECTS, ASSIST- ING IN THE SELECTION OF BOOKS FOR BOOK REPORTS, KEEPING THE LIBRARY NEAT AND ATTRACTIVE, AND MAIN- TAINING A QUIET ATMOSPHERE FOR STUDENT STUDY.
