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 Class History J It is now time for the class of ’54 to look back over twelve years of school and see what we have done. 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.
