Miss Sowry was born in Dorset and has lived in this vicinity all of her life. At Kent State University she majored in history and minored in biology and the commercial course. She received her Bachelor of Science in Education and is now working on a Master’s Degree. After her graduation from Kent, she came to Kingsville High School, where she has been director of the Commercial Department for the past four years. We shall always remember her radiant smile and the guidance she has given us during our four high school years. We hope that she will have lots of luck and happiness in her future, for she truly is worthy of it. From Mr. Sprague: Greetings to the Class of Nineteen Fifty-Four: As this is written the basketball team is in the midst of tournaments. They have come far. When you read this you will know more definitely how far they went. “Hard Work” has carried them through to the present success. I hope all of you will learn the lesson of work. It may be terribly old fashioned but some of us are rather old fashioned. Luck may help but hard work is more dependable. Our Best Wishes to each and every one of you. May you find it pleasant to work hard at something you like and may success come to you. Kindest Regards, LYNN SPRAGUE. From the Editors - - This yearbook is the result of the combined efforts of all the members of the senior class of 1954. We have all had a part in gathering the material or in the set- ting up of the book itself. We hope the readers will get as much pleasure from read- ing the K-Lite as we got from putting it out. We, the editors, would like to thank each member of the senior class and everyone else who helped in any way to make this annual a success. Most of all, we would like to thank Miss Sowry, for we know that without her help and guidance this annual would never have been possible. EMILIE AND JON.

Senior (lass Prophecy As we step out of our time machine in the year 1979, we are very tired and decide to find a place to rest up. We start out and turn the first corner, and what do you suppose we see but a big white building with a big white dome on it. At first we think we are in the wrong place so we decide to ask two men standing in front of the building. As we approach them, we think they look familiar. Just as we thought, Ed Weaver and Ray Reed. Ed assures us that this is Kingsville. When Eddy became President of the United States, he got homesick in Washington, D. C.. and decided to move the Capital to Kingsville. Eddy is happily married to the ex- Miss America and has a family of four girls and four boys. The children all look like their father and are all just as sweet as Ed always was. We turn to Ray, then, and ask him how life has treated him since graduation. He tells us that he is a bachelor and intends to stay that way. He is Ed’s bodyguard and owns a large estate on Creek Road where the homes of all big political party members are. Ray is known as the best host in the country. He is famous for the parties he throws and is always the center of attraction, never running out of jokes to tell. After receiving and accepting an invitation from Ray to attend one of his parties, we continue on our way. As we are strolling along, whom do we see but Joanne Bancroft coming up the street. She is all decked out in high heels, minks, and diamonds. Joanne claims that she still dislikes men, but everytime a tall handsome one walks by. Joanne casually gives him the eye, turns and whistles and says, “Where are you headed for. Big Boy.” Oh yes, same old Joanne. She is now the private secretary to Julius La Rosa, great star of television and cinemascope. She likes her work very well. We turn around and bump right into Carol Reed (who is now married to John Barrymore, Jr.) and has two very lovely curly-haired daughters. We ask the girls what their names are and they reply “Oh Shaddup” and “Why should I tell you?” Yes, such lovely children. Carol said that she lives in Hollywood but is vacationing in Kingsville. She tried her luck in the movies and was just getting places when she met John and that was that. She got married and tore up her movie contract with M. G. M. Such a shame. Carol was a good actress in school. Remember ‘ Grandpa’s Twin Sister?” Oh, how could we forget. We say “Goodbye” to Carol and Joanne and continue on our way. We pass the great Bijou Theater and guess whose name is up in lights. Jon Manwaring in Whither Thou Goest, I Will Go,” which is the greatest romantic hit of the year. We couldn’t figure it out because Jon was so bashful in school. That just goes to prove that you can never tell what’s going to happen next. Someone taps us on the shoulder and we turn around to see Pat Fandrich. Patty had just come from the beauty shop, and looks as lovely as ever. We ask her how life is treating her and she replies “Purty rough, girls, purty rough.” She says that after graduation she married a fellow whom she thought was loaded. After they were married a while, she found out that he was loaded most of the time, but not with money. Poor Pat had to get out and scrub floors to keep her home together. One day she got wise and used the rolling pin on him. She told him if he didn’t bring in some dough, it would be too bad for him. It really worked miracles. Since then the “dear” has carried Pat around on a feather pillow, treating her like a queen. Now he even carries her scrub bucket. After we leave Pat, we are stopped by Joe Brown. Joe is now a surgeon and lives in a most expensive apartment in town. Joe drives a big automobile around lown. While we are talking to Joe, his sons run up to us. He says they are real angels but knowing Joe as we do, we sort of doubt that. They take one look at us and give us a swift kick in the shins. Oh yes, real angels. We just wonder how he ever managed to cover their horns. Rosa Magons, who has taken the place of Rise Stevens on the operatic stage, is just coming out of a nightclub stage door and we call to her. She stops and we rush to catch up with her. Rosa is as beautiful as ever and she tells us that she is married to an Italian boy and they own a little Italian restaurant in Kingsville. Their spe- cialty is Pasta Fasul. She tells us that she must get home soon because she left her two children home with her husband, and she says they just about drive him nuts. The last time she left them with him, they had him tied up and gagged and were just ready to brand him when she rushed in. Goodness, what angels the people of the class of ’54 had. As Rosa hurries home, up comes Claudeen Slater. She almost rushes right by us and we reach out and grab her by the arm. We thought she was going to slug us. Imagine that of Claudeen. She tells us that she just got back from Madison Square Gardens where she won the championship in Women’s Wrestling. She also tells us that she had never married because she wants a man who can at least equal her strength and before she can find out whether any of them do or not, they get scared and take off. Claudeen has changed considerably since high school. We wish her luck and success and go on, only to run into Bernice Shank. Bernice, who was always the belle of the ball, is now operating a lonely hearts club. She always was good at playing Cupid anyway, and now she is known from coast to coast as “ Cupid. ’ Even in all her fame, Bernice lives in a little shed out in the edge of the woods. We think she has some money hidden away somewhere in it, but she denies it very strongly. Even yet, she might meet some nice millionaire who will marry her and take her away from all this. Bernice tells us that John Oren is now a coal miner in Pennsylvania. Remember how John was the only one in the class who wanted 15 children. Well, it just so happens that John still is a bachelor. It seems that every time he got serious over a girl, she found out how many children he would like to have and that settled that. His main excuse, though, for not getting married is that he just simply can’t afford it. John is one of the lucky miners be- cause he has a mule to help pull his cart and, of course, that is a lot of help. We leave Bernice and as we go on we see a sign which reads, Dead End Funeral Home—Tinker’s Hollow—Come in and make yourself comfortable—Co- Managers, Emilie and Kamdes—Telephone T-H-000.” We decide to go and see if this is our old pal. We rent a jet car and we are on our way. In a few minutes we arrive, and before we even finish ringing the doorbell, someone opens the door and says, “Come in and make yourselves comfortable. Such wonderful service. We ask to see Emilie and just then she walks through the door. Sure enough, it is our pal Emilie Jean Kubichek. She invites us into her home and we accept gladly. She lives in the back of the funeral home. We ask her if it doesn’t bother her sleep- ing there when there are corpses in the other room. She says, Oh, no, it isn’t the dead people that hurt you. They are sometimes safer than the living.” Her house is dark and damp and, believe us, very spooky. She asks us to stay overnight, but we politely make an excuse. Because night is approaching, we stay only a short while, but while we are there, she tells us that Bob Ball is now acting as Judge of the Dog Shows at the fairs around. She says he enjoys his work very much and has been working at this for ten years. He has only been bitten once. It seems he told a German Police Dog to heel and instead he barked once and simply chased Bob out of the ring. He bit him as he was going over the fence and since that time. Bob leaves the German Police dog judging to the other judges. He just doesn’t trust those dogs, and we can’t blame him either. After all, that could be very embarrass- ing. Before we leave Emilie, she gives us a calling card and tells us to come around again some time when we could stay longer. We wonder if she means on business. We leave Emilie and go back to Kingsville. After depositing the car and leaving the garage, we run into Margaret Church who is now on vacation from her job as a model in New York. She models fur coats in the summer and bathing suits in the winter. What a life. She tells us it is a lot of hard work but she enjoys every minute of it. She gets as high as $400 a week and still she says that she is broke all of the time. We ask her if she ever married, and she tells us that she has been married four times and is thinking about getting married again. That is, if her last husband will let her. You see, her hus- bands think that she spends too much money on her clothes and she naturally dis- agrees. After all, if she earns the money, why can’t she spend it as she pleases. Margaret tells us that she got a letter from Loretta Sowry the other day. Loretta is a private nurse for the Ambassador to Algeria. Loretta is there now, but since the Ambassador is never ill, she spends her time seeing the country or staying in her hotel room working on her hobby which is mounting foreign butterflies on a plaque. She is going to save the plaque to show to her great grandchildren if she ever has any. We say “So long” to Margaret and go into a restaurant. Keith Carlson and Ronnie Hanson are eating lunch and we join them to find out what has happened to them since school days. Keith is now the head salesman for the Fuller Brush Com- pany. That company has really expanded since 1954 and it’s a good job. Keith has a nice family and lives on Wright Street in the same house he lived in in his younger days. Every night Keith can be seen in his backyard teaching his children to throw a baseball. He is trying to make major leaguers out of them. (Keith’s own ambi- tion). Ronnie is also very successful in business. He owns and operates a fish mar- ket in Kelloggsville. Naturally Ronnie is married and has a family. You’d never guess that Ronnie’s hobby is, designing women’s hats! His wife is the best-dressed woman around—it is all due to her husband’s good taste and originality. Ronnie and Keith are working on a project of starting a gymnasium to train boys to play basketball and other indoor sports. This is a very worth-while project and we wish them luck in it. We find out from the boys that Marleah Thompson and Charlotte Rushton are now working for the Navy Secret Service Department. They say that they like their jobs very well. Who wouldn’t like being around all those sailors! It must be very interesting to know what the Navy is going to do next. Certainly the Class of 1954 has come a long way in 25 years. I wonder what they would have done if they had known then what they were going to be doing now. Good question! Senior Class Will — 1954 We, the Senior Class of 1954 of Kingsville High School, being of sound mind, do hereby give, bequeath, and devise the following: 1, Carol Reed, will my ability to make mistakes in the office to Mary Jo Loesch.

(SEAL) THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1954. Senior Letters From Long Ago When the graduating class of 1954 was in the third grade, Mrs. Emily Miller presented our room with an American flag. Mrs. Keller, our teacher, then told us to each write Mrs. Miller a letter expressing our thanks. Following are some letters which were written by members of the senior class. They are printed as they were written. ★ ★ ★ Kingsville, Ohio March 14, 1945 Dear Mrs. Miller, We thank you for your flag you sent us. We love the flag. Your friend, JO ANN BANCROFT ★ ★ ★ Dear Mrs. Miller, Thank you very much for the flag. We all like it a lots. Every morning we say the Pledge. When we say it we look at the flag you gave us. Mrs. Keller put it at the back of the room. It looks pretty there. Your friend, EMILIE JEAN KUBICHEK Cheerleaders This year the six Kingsville cheerleaders got new uniforms which made them look very snappy. Our congratulations go to these girls for their fine work. They cheered the team on to win the Big Seven League Championship and second in the sectional tournament. Pictured are Mary Reger, Jean Williams, and Nancy West- cott. Reserve cheerleaders; and Evelyn Hinkle, Janet Hinkle, and June Bartrum, Varsity cheerleaders. Basketball Queen Saturday, the 39th of January, proved to be an exciting evening for all who attended the Kingsville-Pierpont Homecoming game. The colorful event of crown- ing a basketball queen was spiced with two exciting, action-packed games. The gym and balcony were filled to capacity. The big event took place between the reserve and varsity games. As the players cleared the floor, a red satin-covered throne, mounted on a platform, was placed under the basket at the west end of the gym. All was ready. The sound of Ed Weaver’s trumpet silenced the crowd, and. with Carol Oren playing the proces- sional march on the piano, the candidates, accompanied by their escorts, made their way to the end of the gym where they formed a semi-circle around the throne. Leading the candidates was Bernice Fisher, last year’s queen, who was escort- ed by Pierpont’s captain, Pete Wilson, and Kingsville’s captain, Ronnie Hanson. Following, was the senior candidate Rosa Magons, escorted by Bob Ball; junior can- didate Evelyn Hinkle, escorted by Russel Westcott; sophomore candidate Janet Hinkle, escorted by Victor Tiscenko; and the freshman candidate Nancy Westcott, escorted by Buddy Beardsley. At the end was little Ellen Lafferty, who carried in the envelope on a satin pillow the name of the new queen. When everyone was in his place, Captain Ronnie Hanson opened the envelope and seated the new queen, Rosa Magons, on the throne. Then the former queen, Bernice Fisher, placed the crown on Rosa’s head. Ronnie saluted the queen with a kiss on the cheek. Next, a bouquet of red roses was presented to the queen by Cap- tain Pete Wilson, of Pierpont, and he also saluted Rosa with a kiss. All the candidates had received yellow rose corsages before entering the gym. There was then a short pause while time was provided for taking pictures. Then the cheerleaders led the crowd in singing the Alma Mater and the queen and her court marched out between an aisle formed by the cheerleaders. Congratulations to the queen and her court. It was a truly lovely ceremony, «and one which will be remembered for a long time.......................... Basketball Champs Congratulations are in order for the Kingsville Kings basketball team. This season they won the Big Seven League Championship and the Ashtabula County Championship. They went on to win second place in the Sectional Tournament. Pictured left to right are: Coach, Mr. Ed Batanian, Arthur Wilkinson, Raymond Reed, John Reed, Burtom Bartrum, Manager. Second row: Duane Cleveland, Frank Fisher, Bill Konnert, and Ivars Magons. Third row: Don Edixon, Joe Brown, Keith Carlson, Bill Carlson, and Ronnie Hanson.

They had won the Ashtabula County Baseball Championship two years in succession previously. They defeated Austinburg 7 to 2 in the first tournament game on October 7. 1953. On Saturday, October 10, at 9:30 in the morning, they beat Andover 9 to 3 in the Semi-finals, as Keith Carlson pitched a three hitter. Then at 2:30 the same day, they were defeated 8 to 3 by the Rowe Vikings, for the County Baseball Championship. During the 1953 season, the Kings played 9 games, winning 7 and losing only 2. They scored a total of 85 runs, while their opponents scored 29. FIRST ROW, left to right: Coach. Mr. EJ Batanian. Don Edixon. Jo Brown. Jeff Miller. Ray Rruckman, Bill Shreck.

She graduated from Kingsville and her hobby is taking care of little children. Mrs. Flack lives in Kingsville also. She has three children, one of which is still in school. Her hobbies are sewing and cooking. Mrs. Louden graduated from Kingsville School and she, also, lives in Kings- ville now. She has been married for 21 years and has four children. Her hobbies are cooking and needle work. I’m sure that all of you know our trusty custodians, for you see them at school every day and also at activities which are carried on in the school in the evening. They are Mr. Errett Loomis and Mr. Clyde Smith. Mr. Loomis has been keeping our school clean and neat for twelve years. He has been married for thirty-four years and has two children and several grand- children. Mr. Smith works very hard in helping Mr. Loomis keep our school clean.

This spring the band members ordered and received their new trousers. They are gold with red stripes down the side. Some members also received new hats. This project was financed by the P. T. A. and the donations received from parents and interested friends. The main playing engagement was the contest at McDonald on March 27. We were entered in the class Cl for schools who have enrollments of from 100 to 150 in the upper four grades. We played a march, our selected overture and the required overture. We also were required to play a sightreading number. In preparation for the contest, we played at a P. T. A. meeting in March. We also played for the school assembly. On April 28 the annual Band and Chorus concert was held. The band plaved the contest pieces and several new arrangements, consisting of marches and over- tures, which were practiced especially for the concert. | SPECIAL CHORUS The special chorus is an ensemble of girls of three parts—soprano, second soprano, and alto. The director is Mrs. Genevieve McCausland and Carol Oren is the accompanist. This school year they sang for several school assemblies, P. T. A. meetings, and various town groups.

HONOR SOCIETY Early in the spring the faculty of Kingsville School met to decide on the members of the Honor Society. They chose Loretta Sowry and Joe Brown from the senior class and Evelyn Hinkle from the junior class. These young people, along with Emilie Kubichek who was chosen last year, will represent Kingsville School at the Ashtabula County Chapter of the National Honor Society meetings. Several meetings are held each school year. Members are chosen from the top part of the junior and senior classes. Not more than five per-cent of the junior class or fifteen per-cent of the senior class may be chosen. They are chosen on their leadership, scholarship, character, and service records in the school. Last year Emilie served as secretary for the Society. Congratulations to the new members! JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class presented their class play on April 9. It was entitled “Love Is In the Air.” It was based upon a series of radio episodes entitled “The Trouble With the Truitts.” “Love Is In the Air” and in more ways than one around the Truitts. Gladys (Ruth Simak) can’t maneuver Roscoe Blimp (Bill Carlson) into proposing; Clarence (Art Wilkinson) and Hugo Nogginnocker (Bill Smith) can’t even find out the name of the new girl across the street (Nancy Carter); and Maggie (Helen Wolfgang), a thwarted thirteen, finds that every boy she and her friend Poodles (Verna Wise) try to invite to the Girl Scout wienie roast mysteriously developes a toothache—even Beanie Weaver (Kenny Smith). Gert, (Evelyn Hinkle) the good natured, intruitive mother can’t even inveigle husband Elmer (David Webster) into taking her to see a revival of “Blossom Time.’’ Needless to say, Elmer is astounded and hurt when the younger Truitts tell him that he has lost the old zing.’’ He determinedly forges ahead in the fund-raising contest, sponsored by his lodge. When it is announced that the winner will be rewarded with a jet plane ride, Elmer finds himself well on the wav to becoming a “Man of Distinction.” Soon, however, he wished he had never heard of a jet plane. An ill-timed visit from the “Lady Buffaloes” (Mary Joe Loesch. Annabell L’Amoreaux, and Vir- ginia Good) singing a significant version of “Ghost Riders in the Sky adds to his panic. There are many more episodes before lovable, generous, old Gramps (Bill Schreck) comes through with the biggest surprise of the play. Senior Baby Pictures FIRST ROW. to.� to bottom: John Oren.

In the first year of school, which some were glad to see and others not so glad, I find nine who started together. They were five girls: Carol Reed, Joanne Bancroft, Bernice Shank, Emilie Kubichek and Char- lotte Rushton; and tour boys: Ray Reed, Jon Man- waring, John Oren, and Bob Ball. In the first grade we had a rhythm band in which we played castnets, triangles, and tambourines. In the second grade, where Keith Carlson joined us, we put on a play, “Collecting Scrap for Uncle Sam.' All of us were dressed as Negroes and brought in smash- ed tin cans as scrap. In the third grade we made our own puppets and put on a puppet show. I also re- member going on picnics at the end of the school year. Then in the fifth grade Marleah Thompson came to Kingsville from Ashtabula. Ohio. We had a wiener roast in back of the school this year. While in the sixth grade, we had a Junior Red Cross Council in which all grades took part. Patricia Fandrich came to us from Cleveland, Ohio. We made silhouettes of stage coaches and great big chalk pictures of dinosaurs. It was now time for a new adventure. We started junior high school, which meant changing classes. It was very exciting but the teachers still held us under their control. Ed Weaver started his first year in Kingsville after coming from Olmstead Falls, Ohio. Carol, Emilie, and Ed started playing in the band this year. We also had a hayride and then a wiener roast out at Pat’s place. It was in the eighth grade that Loretta Sowry started at Kingsville after leaving Linesville, Penn- sylvania. For arithmetic we made church windows of colored cellophane and art paper. We had some very pretty ones which we put on our home room windows. Joseph Brown, president of the class, came to Kingsville from Northfield, Ohio, and Rosa Magons, formerly of Latvia, came from Jefferson. Ohio. Pat and Bernice joined the band this year. A big event Senior Despite the superstition that Friday the thir- teenth is unlucky, the senior play turned out to be a great success. It was held on Friday, November 13. and was presented to a packed auditorium. Miss Janet Sowry was the director, and Charlotte Rushton assisted. Grandpa, who enjoyed poor health and ordering people around was played by John Oren. His only worry was how to escape the persistent Widow Wil- liams (Emilie Kubichek) who was looking for her fourth husband. Living with Grandpa were Clara (Marleah Thompson) and her henpecked husband Edgar (Ed Weaver). Then there was Louise (Pat Fandrich) his grandniece, and her prospective bride- groom, Henry Collins (Keith Carlson), who wanted Louise only if she had definite prospects of being an heiress. His granddaughter, Betty (Carol Reed) didn’t want anything from Grandpa but did want of our Freshman year was our initiation. Our candi- date for Basketball Queen was Pat Fandrich. In our sophomore year, we initiated the poor freshmen and put on a one-act play “Leave It to Joe” for a school assembly. Margaret Church also joined us from Conneaut, Ohio. Several of the girls in our class were also in the junior class play. In May we went to see the Indians play at Cleveland Stadium. As juniors we presented The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come” directed by Mrs. Konnert. Claudeen Slater, the last to join our class, came from Ashtabula. For the public, we sponsored the first “Witches’ Ball” and we also held a Christmas party. As is customary for juniors, we had charge of the refreshment sales at basketball games. Loretta Sowry was our candi- date for Basketball Queen this year. We had charge of the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held at Hotel Ashtabula on April 25. It was carried through with a Mexican theme and was enjoyed by all. In our last carefree year at Kingsville High School, we presented “Grandpa s Twin Sister” which was directed by Miss Sowry. Rosa Magons was our Queen candidate and she easily walked away with the crown. The second “Witches’ Ball” was held. In the junior year Emilie was chosen to repre- sent Kingsville in the County Honor Society; and in the senior year, Loretta and Joe also became members. Loretta will be our Valedictorian and Carol is Salutatorian. Throughout the four years of high school our boys have been very active in sports. One of the highlights of this year is the fact that our basketball team won second in the sectional competition, besides being Big Seven and County champs. Going back over the memories of the years, we remember some which aren’t too pleasant. There were the epidemics of measles and chicken pox which caused us to miss school. There were also times we were sent to the office of had to write “hundreds and hundreds” of spelling words for talking. Now we can look back on these memories and we know that we will never forget them. Graduation is before us. After that, only time will tell what is in store for the Senior Class of 1954. Play young Dr. Wyatt (Joe Brown). Maggie, the cook, who was played by Rosa Magons, paid ten dollars for a husband through a mail order matrimonial bureau and got a Scotchman Adam McPherson, (Jon Manwaring). Grandpa decided to try to settle the matter by dressing up as his own twin sister, and that was w'here the confusion started. Then, in order not to be caught, Betty had to dress as Grandpa. But the plot was discovered because there were a few too many Grandpas. The production staff included Bernice Shank, tickets and programs: Pat Fandrich and Rosa Magons, Publicity; Ray Reed and Ronnie Hanson, Properties; Joanne Bancroft, Prompter; Bob Ball, Stage Manager; Mrs. Mikolay, Make-up; Margaret Church, Loretta Sowry, and Charlotte Rushton, ushers. Music be- tween acts was furnished by Ed Weaver. Seniors - - Then and Now FIRST ROW, left to right: Mi� � Janet Sowry, Patty Pandrich. Carol Reed. Loretta Sowry. Claudeen Slater, Mar- garet Church.

A dance was sponsored by the freshman class October 2. The gym was dec- orated with the school colors and balloons were hung from the ceiling. The music was by records. On December 18 we had a Christmas party. We exchanged names for gifts and refreshments were served.
