We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and fifty-three, dedicate this fifth issue of the K-Lite to our beloved teacher, Mrs. Margaret Konnert. Mrs. Konnert was born in Conneaut, Ohio. She came to Kingsville fifteen years ago and has been teaching here regularly for three years. She belongs to the Presbyterian Church. After graduating from Western Reserve, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree, she did work at Denison and Ohio University. She teaches Latin and English. We shall never forget her friendship, nor the interest she has always shown in us. rom TO THE CLASS OF 1953: Many of you started school in September, 1941. December 7 soon followed. Your early years in school were clouded with war, with its turmoil and grief. The world has had no real peace since, as the war ended with former allies suspicious, and rightly so, of others. You have been living through years of a “cold” war. For many of the boys a little older it has not been a “cold” war. Some of you will be called upon to participate in it. You will meet the challenge in true American spirit. However, those of us who are older and have lived thru times of peace as well as through times of war wish you a better world in which to live than that which you have experienced so far. May that time come soon. May you know a world at peace. Congratulations to you on the completion of your work and Best Wishes to you in all that is to come. This yearbook is the last project undertaken by the Class of 1953. We have enjoyed working on it and the ether duties performed by each graduation class in their twelve years in school. We sincerely hope you, the readers, will find this finished product enjoyable. Every member of the class deserves much credit in making this yearbook a success.

SENIORS SENIORS TERRY BOWDLER President Pitching for the Kingsville nine, Is tops on Terry’s list. The track squad and chorus, too, Will show how he is missed. MARIAN LILJA Secretary Marian finds writing an enjoyable hobby, Along with playing in the band. And when it came to leading cheers, She was there to lend a hand. PAUL WESTCOTT Vice President Paul combines sports with scholastic skill, And rates at the top in both. He has been at Kingsville all 12 years. Seen its steady growth. RICHARD BRUCKMAN T reasurer Basketball and baseball take most of “Dick's” time. An actor, too, he has been. For what would the “Kings” have done, Without “Dick” to help them win ? RITA NOJONEN Council Representative Cartoons and “crazy” writings, •Take up a lot of time. But library work and chorus, Helped keep this gal in line. RONALD BRANCH The Honor Society claims “Ronnie” He rates among the best. The Centra-Light had a fine Editor, To makek it a great success. BERNICE FISHER One of the 3 girls in this Senior class, Bernice will succeed, never fear. She sings soprano in chorus, And helped lead the cheers this year. LEE ROBISHAW The Navy will claim this likable lad, When school days come no more. Baseball, track, and chorus, Show what he has been here for. SENIORS RICHARD SIMON Just call on Dick when you want to laugh, For he can make you do it. The Star of all the Plays we’ve had, He always makes a hit. RICHARD DAVIS Another Richard, but that’s all right, He has helped to keep us going. He was in on the money- making schemes. And in the “dough” came rolling. JAMES THEISS “Jim” finds hunting an absolute must. When he’s not working in school. If it’s running around the track you like. He’ll challenge you to a duel. ROBERT HAYS “Bob” helped both our plays run well, He sings in chorus, too. You can usual’y f'nd him driving around. When there isn’t any school. JAMES SIMMONS “Jim” likes to tinker with automobiles. At least to keep his going. I hear he’s fine at woodwork, And excels in mechanical drawing. WILLIAM FANDRICH “Bill” joined the class a few years back. And can argue with greatest skill. He makes fine music in singing class, —Listen if you will. RUSSELL LOUDEN “Russ” likes to make the camera click. For pictures any time. He’s been managing the “Kings” for many years. He also thinks music is fine. JERRY GOODE Sports come first with Jerry, And sleeping, so he says. But working at the corner in Kingsville, Is another like ( ?) of his. aledictorian Ronald Branch was chosen to be valedictorian of the class of ’53. He was born in Kingsville June 17, 1935. He has attended Kingsville School all twelve years. Ronald has taken the college preparatory course, plus typing and shorthand. He has been Co-Editor of the Centra-Light and K-Lite and a member of the Na- tional Honor Society. He likes typing and dislikes English. Ronald has taken two “firsts” in the state history exams, and was top man scholastically in the Ashtabula County Seniors. He was 14th in the state. Paul Westcott is salutatorian this year. He has gone to school here all twelve years but was born in Ada, Ohio. Paul’s likes are sports and (good-looking) girls. He doesn’t say anything about dislikes. Paul is Vice President of the class and has been Student Council representative for the past two years. He has been on the baseball and baskektball teams for 3 years and the track squad for 4 years. He is taking the College Preparatory Course. Now a tribute we would pay thee. Our Alma Mater dear. With loyal hearts we hail thee. Thy children gathered near. Our fondest hopes are with thee. We pledge thee love untold, We give again a three times three. For the Crimson and the Gold. Old times may often take us Far from our high school home. False fortune oft forsake us. As through this world we roam. Yet ever fresh we’ll greet thee. Our love shall ne'er grow cold; Our Alma Mater Kingsville High And the Crimson and the Gold. Then Kingsville High forever Friend of our High School days Naught from thee our hearts can sever. We will ever sing thy praise. In after years we’ll sing thee. As in the days of old; All hail to dear old Kingsville High And the Crimson and the Gold. Salutatorian Alma Mater Senior Sketches Richard Simon—Ambition: own my own home in Central Park.

Senior Class Prophecy DEAR BERNICE: I just got a postcard from the graduating cass of ’75 at old K. H. S.. requesting my presence at the Alumni Banquet. You must have received one too. You know. Fish, that postcard really sent me back, over a trail of reminiscing, to our old class of '53. You wrote that Bob Hays lived near you in a little town called Boidville. You said that you had been to see him. They tell me he’s getting white at the temples. Such a shame. His hair was the nicest in the class of ’53. You must have had quite (he shock when you were met by little Fauntleroy Hays, his only son, who is a bundle of manners. Recentlv Bob turned to me and said, “My kid’ll never be ’da brat I was.” Now Bob wasn’t so naughty, as I remember. I got quite a jolt when I saw Jerry Goode, for holding his arm was one of (hose mink coated dolls. She had platinum hair and was leading the Frenchiest French poodle I ever saw. To add to my surprise, in the society column, I read that he had married. It took him a long time but he did it. Remember how he hated women, or was that some front he put on in English IV. At any rate, he struck oil beneath his gas station and made a cool million or more. That's what comes off letting the world go by. Your six little boys must keep you busy. Don’t despair about their freckles and red hair as they may outgrow them. I can’t imagine your buying a dog for each boy. You must have the currency. Wouldn’t one dog have done for all of them? You said your oldest son named his dog Sharp and that he races through the ‘house yelling, “Shuddup, Sharp,” all day long. How can you listen to that and remember which mouth you fed last? I went to Louisville, Ky., and I’m sure I saw Ronnie Branch. He was talking with some bookies. Hmm, I wonder. He was quite ecstatic when Man O’ Peace won (he Derby. In fact it’s the first time I ever heard of a man snatching a horseshoe of roses from the winning horse to place it around his own neck while he jumped up and down shouting, “Himmel, Ve Von.”' Didn’t you write me once that he had married an heiress of some big company? I wonder if that was her money he was playing? Remember how Lee Robishaw shied away from going steady? Well, he’s still in the Navy but some girl got stuck by his charms and has followed him around ever since. Last time they found her she was on the anchor. He just never dared tie himself down to one. I guess he’ll have to soon. She’s chased him 20 years now. He keeps shouting from the topdeck, “I like it, I like it,” and she goes another 10 knots. That smile of his would make any gal go for him even if he is bald. You know, I was never so insulted as when I went to call on Mr. and Mrs. Paul Westcott. Paul was always so sweet in school that I was somewhat appalled when Wicked Westcott, his little 8-year old son met me at the door. He kicked me in the shins, and casually drawled. “Pop, dere’s some creep to see ya!” Hisi mother rushed to me apologetically and asked Wicked if he thought he acted like a nice boy. “Eh. me old man tol’ me to,” he sang as I was felled by a feathered jirrow. Since Paul has taken over John L. Lewis’s job, the miners are really going places. I knew his contemplation would get him far but it would take more than a union to curb that son of his. Marian Lilja tromboned her way to fame. She played Finlandia in a talent show and romped to a winning. She wrote two books last year, “John Sobellous and I,” and “Cooties Kan’t Ketch Me.” The latter was about a little immigrant who fell in love with an entomologist. Marian has a farm in “Upper Maine” where she also has a sugar bush. Be- sides giving out with New England’s Yankee humor, she teaches teakettles to whistle, “Bell Bottom Trousers.” Marian is still very attractive, and her hair and complexion have weathered New England’s stormy gales very nicely. Her husband has always loved the sea and is known as the “Fisherman of Gloucester.” Bernice, who was the first to foul our plans for having a triple wedding? You know, the one that would have made headlines. Marian, you. and I were all going ?o be married together. I guess what halted that was we couldn’t get the men. ’Nuff said. You also wrote that you saw Mr. and Mrs. Simon in the park, teaching their daughter, Simple, the fundamentals of sailing with a toy sailboat launched upon the placid waters of the park pond. Yes, Richard would make an understanding if not doting parent. I read that he was the first to do away with the Dishonorable Dis- charge in the Navy. The article said that he reversed the charges and the whole Navy was Dishonorably Dismissed. And all that from our own lovely to be )ovcd. just plain Dick! Oh, yes, vou said his wife is a good cook and makes delicious Shiskebob. If anyone could make that delicious, think kof the wonders she could do to Yoghurt. You asked about Jim Theiss. Well, our dear smiling Jimmy, smiled his wav through a seminary and is now the Rev. James Theiss. He got his way paid by the ex-sailor’s plan and now he has his work divided between two churches. I just saw him at Grand U. where his son graduated from the same seminary as Jim. Jim was the guest speaker at his son’s commencement. Mrs. Theiss is a lovely brunette, slightly hefty, the way Jim always liked ’em. I wasn’t surprised at Jim’s chosen career because he always looked as innocent as a choir boy. He shook his greying head in puzzlement when I asked him what he thought of our uncertain times with a possible World War 10 ahead. Then he blandly said goodbye as he had two baptisms before sunset. I’m so proud of Jim. I always knew he’d become successful. Russell Louden married a little Italian girl and he runs through their Spa- ghetteria saying, “Mama Mia,” under his breath. She cooks and he serves. I thought he liked blondes. He has twins, Armaghetti, and Armaghoul. I think Armaghoul is the little boy. He’s a year younger than the girl. Russ wants triplets this time so he can turn” over his restaurant to his children and sit back and enjoy life with Carmen, his wife. Russ still has that wave in his hair, which is Carmen’s pride and joy. She’s afraid he’ll love it as the years go by. You can’t have a wave without hair. You should see their little cottage. It has a southern colonial front with the inscription, Viva il Italia, inscribed in Louden fashion across its portico. As a hobby, Russ plays a mean game of checkers. Carmen tells him when to move just like any woman would. Richard Bruckman has a beat along Broadway and walks it each night. He and the boys pulled quite a raid on some Million Bubble All-Nite Club. Dick got his name in the New York headlines. Richard, noted for his long speeches, told the press modestly, “Aw, shucks, it wasn’t anything.” Last week he caught the Diamond Thief and was presented with a diamond ring for his nose by the force. He was bull- headed way back in high school. He married a pretty red headed Irish colleen and her father got him into the Police Force. He and his wife have fought ever since. Now why wouldn’t anyone be happy with Dick? He’s a perfect husband. He buys her a shamrock every Mother’s Day. Some wives don’t know when they’re well off. Did you know that the Bruckmans adopted a son and that by some coincidence he turned out to be a basketball star for Mississippi? Maybe Dick should have been a coach instead of a flatfoot. Terry Bowdler became famous overnight, didn’t he? He went to Hollywood soon after graduation. I can’t figure out why he didn’t replace Van Johnson or Clark Gable. He was the ardent lover type with missable lips but for some reason they put him on the sound effects for Walt Disney productions. Bernice, next time you go to see Sno-Black and the seven pixies and you see Mopy, the little pixie who is always silent, remember that Terry is making the sound effects and he could make the most noise being silent of any man I ever saw. Terry had a huge Hollywood marriage, didn’t he. Not every guy could get Margaret O’Brien. He even wrote a book called, “How I Got Margaret O’Brien.” Maggie retaliated with a book, “How I Got Terry Bowdler,” and so Ad Infinitum. Pity poor Alexander when he said, “Alas, there are no more worlds to con- quer,” as Richard Davis just conquered the Saturnites and now is ruler thereof. He and his spouse, being two of a kind, are living up there without air. Richard was the leading man in discovering the way to penetrate the stratosphere. When they sold real estate on Saturn, he bought some and was not daunted by those who scoffed as he replied, “They laughed at Edison.” Well, Saturn stock skyrocketed, taking Richard from his career of begging in New York to his castle on Saturn. His kids love it and space programs on TV thrill them to pieces. Just think of the fun we’re missing, Bernice. James Simmons. M. D., is now head of a hospital for turtles without shells. Isn’t that touching? Jim loves animals. James was always so quiet back in ’53 that I’ve come to the conclusion that silence is golden. Look how much dough he’s made by keeping his mouth shut. Jim performs some pretty delicate operations which require precision and timing and he hasn’t lost a turtle yet! James met his wife at the Freshman initiation in college. She was crying be- cause she had to eat worms for her stunt and so our noble Jim put ketchup on them for her. Now he can’t get her to fix him anything else! She raises them in the basement. They’ll work something out as Jim was very cheerful and easy to get along with in our high school days. What’s Bill Fandrich doing now? I’m sure it was he who I saw lying shall we say majestically upon a featherdown mattress in Hoiman’s Department Store window. He was getting paid $5 per hour and had a ring on his finger signifying that he belonged to the Upper 900 Club. You know, that’s the one the plumbers belong to. Well, Bill didn’t use his brains nor his brawn but oh, Brudder, imagine his bank account! I heard he married. He’s the last person on earth besides Jerry Goode that I ever thought would marry. He got shipwrecked on an island where there lived a sweet young thing and a boat found them. Up until then he had told her she was the only girl in the world for him. At least she was the only girl on the island. Now shes’ back in her little grass shack and he ran off and married Hoiman’s daughter. He’s got that bed leased for life. You must visit me soon as I do get lonesome. I miss the old class a lot but then we must face facts. All of our classmates are enjoying various stages of matri- monial bliss and I doubt if they seldom think of us. Your husband is cruel to make you work in the fields all day and then mind those young ruffians while he raises Ned at the pool room. Why don’t you put your foot down? I can’t attend the Alumni Banquet as the regulations here are too strict. Only my mail is allowed through and that is usually censored so that I only can read the date and the person’s signature. When the Cheshirians took over here in Samoleon, I was one of those taken hostage. I am hoping to be freed before the war strikes as otherwise escape may not be possible ever. My husband is anxious for my release. He‘s so eager that he’s suing me for a divorce. If my book, “My Number’s Up!”, is published, it may save my marriage. Then my husband can quit living off relief. Well that’s all the reminiscing I have time for as I’ve got a whole rock pile to disintegrate before dawn so write soon.

Cheerleaders On November 5, 1952, the upper six grades voted for the six high school cheerleaders for the 1952-53 basketball season. Although the girls went out in groups, they were voted for individually. They were all so good, it was difficult to choose between them. After the votes were counted, Mr. Sprague made the announcement that the varsity cheerleaders were Marian Lilja (Senior), Bernice Fisher (Senior), and Patty Fandrich (Junior). The reserve cheerleaders were Mary Reger (Freshman), Glenna Bancroft (Freshman), and Jeanne Williams (Freshman). We congratulate you for your wonderful cheering and helping the boys to a victorious second place in the league and tournament. Coronation of Basketball Queen On January 17, there was a basketball game here with Pierpont. But this game was second in importance to the main event of the evening. This was what everyone had been waiting for since last January — the crowning of the basket- ball queen. The preparations for this night were begun several weeks before. Each of the upper four grades elected their queen candidate. Then the campaigning started. The girls in each of those rooms were busy painting or drawing posters to be displayed around the school. As the eventful night drew closer, each candidate was trying to decide who would be her escort and what kind of gown she would wear. On the week of the crowning one girl and her escort were interviewed over the P. A. system each morning beginning with the Senior candidate and working down to the Freshman. Each high school student was trying to sell tickets to the game. For each ticket he sold, he could have one vote for his favorite. Each person who bought a ticket or came to the game also got a vote. Then the evening came. If you were there that night, you know how beautiful it was. At the half of the varsity game, a red and white throne was put in front of the stage. Then in walked Marion Lilja, our past queen, escorted by Richard Bruckman. our basketball captain, and the captain of the Pierpont team. Following her came the senior candidate. Bernice Fisher, on the arm of Lee Robishaw. Loretta Sowry and John Oren represented the Junior class. Then came Mary Jo Loesch and Bill Smith for the Sophomores and Claudette Slater and Bud Sowry, who were the Freshmen representatives. The longest moment was when Richard was opening the envelope. In it was the name of our next basketball queen, Bernice Fisher. Richard then escorted Bernice to the throne. The crown was placed on her head by Marion, our past queen. The queen was given a bouquet of red roses, and the court and past queen were presented corsages of yellow roses. There was then a short pause while pictures were taken, after which the cheerleaders led the singing of the school alma mater. Then the queen and her court marched out, between an aisle formed by the cheerleaders. It was a beautiful occasion and one which everyone will remember for a long time. Congratulations to you Bernice, and also to the other girls who helped make this occasion a memorable one. Basketball Team FIRST ROW: Russell Louden.

We have all enjoyed the lunches they have prepared, and hope to see them back again next year. Mrs. Louden lives in Kingsville. She has been married for 20 years; she has four children. Russell is the first to graduate. She is a mother, housewife, and “a wonderful cook.” Her hobbies are cooking, baking, and sewing or needle w'ork. She is a graduate of Kingsville—1928. Mrs. Carter lives in Kingsville. She has been married for 26 years: she has five children. One is still in school. Her hobby is working with little children. She is a graduate of Kingsville—1924. Mrs. Flack lives at 881 W’right Street in Kingsville. She has three children, two married, and one still in school. Her hobby is sewing. Custodians With thirty-three years of married life behind him and eleven years of keep- ing Kingsville school clean and in good condition, Mr. Loomis, who’s first name is Errett, is still putting in about eight hours a day, depending on the weather. This year he has an assistant, Mr. Clyde Smith. Mr. Loomis has two children, Erwin and Ruth. They are both married and have children of their own. He was born in 1893. Mr. Smith has three children, all boys. Two are in school, and the third will start in a year or two. We surely do appreciate the good care that these two men give our building. We could not do without them. Library Staff FIRST ROW — Rita Nojonen, Virginia Good, Ruth Simak, Mrs. M. Konnert. SECOND ROW — Helen Wolfgang, Glenna Bancroft, Verna Wise, Jimmy Risley.

Several of the band members participated in a solo contest at Youngstown College. The biggest event in 1953 was the band contest at McDonald. Saturday, March 28.

High School Choi US PLAYS Junior Play The Juniors this year chose as their play the old favorite ‘‘The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come.” This, of course, was based on John Fox, Jr.’s familiar story of little “Chad Buford.” The play was a huge success and much of the credit goes to Mrs. Margaret Konnert, who so ably directed the production. The class enjoyed putting on this play, and is looking forward to next year’s production. One Act Play Jeff Mulkey stands at his cabin window and peers out at the blizzard and ever deepening snow. Five years ago he was involved in an auto accident on a snow-swept highway—an accident that took the lives of a mother and her daughter. Since then, each storm brings back to him the reality of the mishap. That’s why Jeff moved with his wife, Mary, to this cabin in the mountains, far away from peo- ple. Now as the blizzard rages, there is a rap on the door. A man enters. He’s tall and walks with a limp—says he was hunting and got lost. As he sips coffee, he tells them the story of a man who had a wife and daughter. They couldn’t get along, so she took the child and left. Finally, she started back to him, had an accident in a snow storm and she and the daughter were killed. When the husband got word a couple of years later, he swore ievenge. It slowly dawns on Jeff and Mary that they’re trapped with the crazed husband. Suddenly the door flies open and in walks a woman and girl. The woman looks at the hunter and their eyes meet for an instant. When Mary and Jeff come in from the kitchen after fixing supper, they find the room empty. Mary crosses to the window, peers out and gasps! Although three persons left, there’s the tracks of only one person in the snow. The above is a summary of the one-act play presented by a group of K. H. S. students on January 26, 1953 at Edgewood High School at 8:00 P. M. It is the first time in several years that Kingsville has entered a play in the county competition. The play is entitled “THE STORM” and was written by Donald Payton. Mrs. Kon- nert was the able director of it. The cast includes: Richard Bruckman as Jeff; Rich- ard Simon as the Hunter; Mary Reger as the Daughter; Emilie Kubichek as Mary; Marleah Thompson as the Woman. Senior Play The Senior Play, a three-act comedy called “Good Gracious, Grandma”, was puresented on November 14, 1952 at 8:00 P. M. It was directed by Mrs. Margaret Mikolay. Richard Bruckman as George Breckinridge and Terry Bowdler as his cousin Henry Breckinridge were both broke, and no means of getting credit. Things were looking down and the boys were sure they were going to have to go work. A, call from their landlady, Mrs. Lennox, as played by Lee Robishaw. does all but make things look better. But a telegram for Henry’s father announcing the arrival of two daughters of an old friend and requesting the father to entertain them, gives a bright idea to the distressed boys, especially as money is being sent for the girls’ expenses. Of course, a chaperone is needed and out of this urgent need comes Grandma—in private life George—dressed up in the landlady’s clothes furnished by P-Sam, a colored houseboy, played by Richard Simon, who has a miserable time when the girls, Helen and Cecile, Rita Nojonen and Bernice Fisher, show up with a delightful colored maid, Delicia, played by Marian Lilja. Life from then on for the next two days is a series of thin explanations for Henry—to the landlady as to who the girls are—to the girls about himself and dear Grandma—to Clancy, a police officer played by Russell Louden, and Wiggins, his assistant, Jim Thei-s. when the landlady reports the loss of her clothes. George is having an uncomfort- able time hiding behind Grandma’s skirts, but emerges in time to solve things com- pletely, except for the fact that he has fallen in a big way for Cecile and Henry has had the same feeling for Helen, but all this seems to be well under hand.

The girls really looked cute in men’s nightshirts and the boys in girls’ shorts backwards. There was a dance afterwards. Everyone had a good time in spite of the rough time the Freshmen had. The Sophomores have their rings ordered for next year. We had men from three different companies come with samples. The committee then chose the man they liked best to come back and show his rings to the whole class.

We complained about some of the stunts we were told to do but were willing to do them when we heard our conse- quences. In January we had a skating party at the Jefferson rink. Most of those who attended brought someone with them. We have four new pupils with us this year. They are Nancy McMillen, Claudette Slater, Ernest Middlestadt, and James Mulholland.
