POLARIS 1938-1976 John H. Lehman High School Canton, Ohio Volume 39 HP $« Introdu Feature The story of Lehman is rich with proud memories. For more than fifty years, its students and faculty have built a heritage of outstanding achievement and undaunted spirit, a standard of cooperation and ex- cellence that has remained through the decades. The quiet dignity of its tree-studded view, the relaxed enjoyment of its many traditions, the deep The Story Of Lehman dedication of its gifted leaders, the brilliant victories of its athletic teams, and the colorful pattern of changing times are all a part of Lehman's cherished history. Here, in patient pursuit of knowledge about ourselves and our world, we have discovered that goals can be reached and barriers broken because we are Lehman.

The building itself has been significant in the history of Lehman. The school's northern position in relation to the other high schools in Canton has given birth to its mascot, the polar bear, and also to the name of the yearbook: Polaris, which means the North Star. The story of the school begins when Old North Junior High School, the renovated Brethren Church, was torn down to make room for the present build- ing, begun in 1920. Costing more than one million The Building dollars to build, the school was finished in 1923. As a junior high school and later as a high school, Lehman has undergone several changes. Rooms have been improved and redesigned, and a completely new wing, containing the music room, the biology lab, and a large classroom, has been added in recent years. The main lobby trophy case was added later to house the many awards Lehman students have won for outstanding performances in athletics, speech, and other areas. 6 EXTREME FAR LEFT: Lehman's library has always held an important position in the school.

Each fall, the marching band performs at the football games while Carmichael, the cheerleading mascot, helps support the team with her enthusiasm. Dubbed the cake-eaters, Lehman students exhibit the fierce pride they have in themselves and their school. This support is prevalent in other activities as well. Every year, classes compete in the Booster Club Drive, an important fund-raiser sponsored by the Student Council. Upper-classmen may attend the annual Junior-Senior Prom, one of many social events planned each year for the student body. Lehman is also proud of the many traditions maintained by the clubs and organizations that enrich the school program. Wherever students strive for quality and sportsmanship, they add to the contribu- tions of many in the past who have given their time and skills to the school.

The People Many different people have walked the halls of Lehman High School. Throughout its history, Lehman has been fortunate in the quality of its faculty and student body. Here pupils have had a superb faculty to guide them in their search for answers to the many questions they face. People have given Lehman its greatness. Under the direction of five principals—I.W. Delp, M.P. Watts, Richard Barnes, Robert Henderson, and Robert Menarchek—faculty and students have worked to- gether for the cause of high-quality education. Only through such able leadership and mutual cooperation have their wishes been fulfilled. Its people, not its size, are what makes a school a success. Now the smallest high school in Canton, Lehman still enjoys a respected reputation because so many have given so much to make it the fine school it always has been.

FAR BELOW: The crowded cafeteria shows the results of closed lunch periods. The Sports Program Lehman owes much to its sports program. The athletic department has been invaluable in fulfilling the need for a balanced, well-rounded education. Lehman High School's first football coach, Jimmy Robinson, was a major factor in building the high standard upheld by athletic teams at Lehman. Begin- ning his career at the school with a stunning undefeated season, he began a winning tradition that has remained through the years. In 1971, Lehman athletes showed outstanding talent in basketball by being the first team from the Canton City Schools ever to win the State Champion- ship for that sport. They have also been successful in a variety of other sports, including track, baseball, cross country, tennis, golf, wrestling, and others, many including girls' competition. All have played a role in Lehman's history. 12 Extreme Far Upper Left: Football uniforms from 1941 look very different compared to present day uniforms.

Extreme Far Lower Right: Fund raising activities, such as this car wash in 1967, have remained popular through the years. The Changing Styles Lehman has been a blueprint of changing styles and attitudes. Life in the school's early days was far different from today. With every change in society, life at Lehman has also changed. Dress worn to school has constantly evolved. As opinions about clothing and personal appearance became more tolerant, the dress code was liberalized to permit students the greatest possible freedom. Adaptation has always been an outstanding charac- teristic of student life at Lehman. But many popular events of the past still flourish at Lehman. Every year, students and faculty show support for the sock hop, the Junior-Senior Prom and the Football and Basketball Queens and attend- ants, as well as many other time-honored traditions. And so, as Lehman grows in the future, it brings with it the rich pageantry of the past. Lehman —1976 Lehman is a remarkable school. Despite many changes in many years, it has re- mained an institution of renowned spirit and pride, of dedicated faculty and brilliant students, of athletic prowess and academic excellence, where people have learned much about other ideas, other people, and most of all about themselves. Now Lehman faces a different future. As it began in 1923, it will return to its status as a junior high school with new teachers teaching a new curriculum to new students. But Lehman remains. Always growing, it will continue the long, rich story of the past that never stops unfolding. 16 EXTREME FAR UPPER LEFT: Band mem- ber Alex Christ knows that practicing perfects his playing.

The student body has always been noted for great spirit and enthus- iasm. Lehman is one of the few schools left that still has assem- blies and the reason for this is the fine conduct displayed by the stu- dents. The Lehman stage has been the scene for various skits and as- semblies, from 1776 to number one in 1976. A Tradition Of Spirit (A) The Bears have pride; students and signs are up to show it.

The Bears amassed a record of 110-10 and captured the county title along with various other invitational crowns. Oustanding senior runners were captain Bill Trissel, Todd Deetz, Kevin Kelly, and Don Wright. Outstanding juniors were Joe Taylor and Rich Russel who balanced out the Bear's attack. According to Coaches Sommers and Perez, this team will be remembered for not giving up though plagued by injuries. Furthermore, two of the top five runners were not able to run for various reasons. The team overcame all obstacles to make the last season one of the best. 48 (A) The coaches practice early in the morning.

The team consisted of eight sophomores, one junior, and two senior, Jim Helling and Ron Paone. Mr. Manderine said the high- light of the season was watching the growth of a young team into a matured experienced one. Tennis Girls Have A (A) Mrs. Nelson plans her strategy.

Plagued by in- juries of key players and long seasons the last few years, the Bears, with grim determination, fought back and made this season a success. On a winning team everyone is a star, but some shined even brighter. George Christ completed his high school career con- tributing his best effort in a dazzling victory over conference rival Timken. Coach Neading even imported talent in the foot of Mike Sandstrom a Swe- dish exchange student and field goal specialist. On defense Spiro Pimpas pounded the opponents (with a little help from his friends). Other Stand- outs were Ken Wannemaker, Bob Sea- man, Tim Fagan, and Chris Mullane, all chosen for the Hall of Fame Confer- ence all-star squad. (A) The defense held tough against the foes.

Some Bears worth special mention are Kent McClelland, Greg Zeren, Doug Nau, Jeff Kneffler,and Mark Paumier. 56 Despite their lack of size the mighty Freshman had a good season with a record of 3-3-1. After their loss to Aquinas 0-2, they decided not to let it get them down and they won every game afterward.

Some bad shooting nights, the early season injury of captain Dan Hlavaty, and a hard schedule were major factors in contribut- ing to the eleven regular season losses. However, when the Bears got it all together, as they did against Massillon, they were hard to stop. Head Coach K.C. Dorland, with the help of Assistant Coach Lee Sommers, had a tough job taking over the team for his first and last year. The regular season record was only 7-11 but the Bears marched through the sectionals beating top seeded Akron South by 18 points in the finals. 60 do (A) Defense is the name of the game in Lehman basketball.

Students Earn While They Learn D.E. is designed to train students for occupations in retail, wholesale, and service. It provides a valu- able, practical background for students who will go on with formal schooling either in technical school or college as well as give basic training to students who will go immediately into the business world. O.W.A. is made up of non-college bound students fourteen and fifteen years old. Each student works within the school system or for a local business for a minimum of two hours a day. The objective is not to train the students for a specific job but rather to give them experience in the world of work. O.W.E. is made up of students selected by the counselors and principal and enrolled in regular academic subjects for one half of the school day. Fifteen hours per week are devoted to the classroom. A minimum of fifteen hours of work is required each week. High school credit is given for satisfactory on-the-job performance. C.O.E. is designed for seniors sixteen or more years of age. Students work for a mini- mum of fiteen hours per week, usually three hours a day, five days a week. The primary purpose of C.O.E. is to introduce the student to the world of office work. (A) O.W.A.: Row 1: Charles Fuller, Tim Fannin, Charles McCartney, Berle Williams, Dion Calhoun, Mr. Wright (advisor). Row 2: Kris Gauze, Jeanne Raymond, Doris Heflin.

Quill and Scroll is a national honorary organization con- sisting of dedicated JOURNAL and POLARIS members. Qualifications for membership into this organization are to have written 200 inches for the JOURNAL or to have served two years on the POLARIS. Miss Vesely was advisor to this organization in addition to being in charge of the publication of the JOURNAL. Much credit can be given to her for being the originator of Quill and Scroll at Lehman. Under her supervision members of this group published the HELICON which is a book of poems and short stories written by students at Lehman. Recognition should also be given to the officers of Quill and Scroll who kept the organization running smoothly. Mary Patterson, President; Carole Harvey and Kris Sims, Co-Vice Presidents; and Dan Rapport, Secretary-Treasurer. C 108 Expression Through Writing The JOURNAL, Lehman's newspaper, was published monthly by a qualified group of students and headed by advisor Miss Vesely. The paper was edited by Terry Myser and his staff con- sisted of four page editors, assistants, and also additional writers. The task of this group was to relate school news and local, state, and national issues to the student body at Lehman. Through much time and effort these conscientious students used their writing ability to keep everyone well informed.

Rarely a night went by when several staff members, an editor or two, and the advisor, Miss Boardman, were not found in room 312 working to meet deadlines. This job did not even end in the summer. Margo, Mary, Julie, and Kris attended a yearbook work- shop at Walsh College this past summer. There they learned more about style, copy, and the many other things which helped make the POLARIS a more memorable and outstanding yearbook. (A) Business Staff: Carole Harvey, Dan Rapport, Marsha Chap- man. (B) Staff Editors: Top To Bottom: Ken Rapport, Julie Kohl, Kris Sims, Carol Fleenor.

Be- sides many minor functions, these offi- cers were responsible for organizing the graduation ceremonies of their class, the last one to graduate from Lehman High School. Their reasons for running for their respective offices were many and varied, but two which they all held in common were the desire to gain experience in a position of leadership and to do what they could for the seniors of Lehman. ns Eugene DeChellis Cathy DeChiara Denise Dessecker Burlen Dewell Darlene Dickerhoof Stephanie DiPietro Terrance Duerr Chris Dugan Diana Eberhart Timothy Fagan Rick Fagert Peggy Farrell Lisa Fawcett Chris Feezel Sharon Felder Marianne Finn Michael Fogel Vaughn Foraker Bob Ford Scott Frazier 116 Greg Fuchs Keith Furman Jodi Gilmore Debbie Gliatta Dave Greaves Dottie Greel Tami Hackathorn Kinthea Hadjian Dottie Hague Lisa Hahn Peter Haritas Cris Harman Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night kept these senior band members Julie Kohl, Heidi Waidman, Doug Wolf and Kurt Mackall from performing a half time or pre-game show. During football season, the band practiced marching on the field during first period. They had to memorize over twenty pieces and the steps of fifteen different formations. Why does the band put up with muddy fields, frost-bitten lips, and the pleading of their director, Mr. Bonar? Because of the pageantry and excitement of performing a show. Besides, you get to go to the football games for free. 117 I wish to be considered an ordinary individual rather than a blind person. I don't even think about being blind, says Becky Totten. Becky has been a student at Lehman for four years. As a blind person she feels she has encoun- tered no major problems, perhaps be- cause she has been blind since birth. Becky is involved in the Spanish Club since she would someday like to work with Spanish-speaking people. She visited Mexico with a group of students and loved the country. It is her dream that she might live there someday. Becky, who enjoys such sports as swimming, toboganning and bike riding, participates regularly on a bowling league. She feels her greatest accomp- lishment was learning Lehman. She is proud of her recent completion of the White Cane Travel in Columbus. Her future plans include college. 118 Rick Harper Laura Harter Carole Harvey Paul Hawke Suzanne Hawkins Tracy Hayes Jeffrey Hecker Michelle Helaney Jim Helling James Henrich Scott Hinterleiter Dan Hlavaty Vicky Hughes Margo Humphrey Doug Jacobs Lori Jacobs Donna Johnson Mark Joliat Kevin Kelly Carl Kennedy Chris King Diane Kirk Tom Kirkpatrick Sandy Koehler Julie Kohl John Kuemmerling Ray Kurdziel Debbie Lanam Gary Lang Doug Lasick Elizabeth Lavin Mary Beth Lawton Norman Lehman John Liberator Thomas Licht 119 Linda Lilly Mona Littell Carrie Livingston Greg Locke Peggy Locker Ron Lyon Kurtis Mackall Becky Manos Steve Marsh Shelly McDonald Terry McFeely Bruce McGaughy I signed up for this course so occasionally I could eat third period, was one student's reaction to Independent Living course. An- other reaction was now I know how to prepare more foods than toast and bologna sandwiches. Independent Living was a course offered to junior and senior boys and girls who have had no other Home Ec lab experience. They studied family life, sewing, foods, consumer education, home fur- nishings, and child care. Some of the projects attempted were sewing T-shirts and cooking interesting concoctions as Rex Runner, Greg Fuchs, Jim Rossiter, and Tom Serban are doing. They look like they're doing a ... fine... job? 120 Jo McGeorge Pam McGonagle Danniel McHenry Vallery McHenry Jeff McVicker Robert Meadway Marie Miller Rayne Mills Dan Millsap Patty Moran Patti Motts Christopher N.

Joey Stein has been a varsity manager for four years. He devotes much of his time to his job —going to all practices and varsity games. His job is to take care of all injuries by taping and wrapping the players. Joey's job is important because it gives the coaches more time to work with the team. Joey went to training classes held at Kent State Stark Branch and Kent Uni- versity during the past three summers. He says, Training is a fun job and I plan to make it my career. 122 Jim Patterson Mary Patterson Cindy Paul Karen Paumier Tammy Payne Karla Pearlman John Peebles Celeste Perez Lou Perez Spiro Pimpas Jean Potento Chris Poulos Stan Prazer Joanne Proios Melanie Psomiades Rhonda Rafailedes Beth Rapp Dan Rapport Ken Rapport Denise Resanovich Brian Risley Brenda Rogers Sue Rombach Jim Rossiter Cathy Rubin Mary Rucker Anne Runner Rex Runner Dale Salyers Mikael Sandstrom Theresa Savage Phil Scarpino Jeff Schering Bill Scheurer Thomas Schleig 123 Joanne Schmucker Barbara Schneck Ed Schneider Julie Scipione Bill Scott Debra Scott Bob Seaman Chuck Seifer Karen Shaffer Sharon Shaffer MarcShaheen Nassar Shaheen Steve Shaheen Frances Shawver Ken Shimko Diane Shott Lori Sick Tim Siegenthaler Kris Sims Kirt Singhaus JoeSleighter Grace Smith Laurie Smith Tim Smith Gale Snyder Bambi Solomon Sally Sprandel Melissa Stach Joe Stein Dinah Stickel 12 I like it here because people are friendly, remarked the blond haired, blue-eyed Swede. But, the school system here is much more strict, especially with attendance. Mikael Sandstrom, an exchange student from So- dertalje, Sweden, didn't find the adjustment to speak- ing English difficult, but he never got used to all the commotion at football games and pep assemblies. Mikael, an experienced soccer player who also dives and snow skies, contributed to this year's football team by kicking field goals. When he was introduced at a football pep assembly, he admitted he was scared to death by all the cheering fans. 125 Rod Stutler joanna Symeonides Geri Szymanski Lori Talarico Jed G.

These girls dedicate much time perfecting their cheerleading skills. The squad attended a cheerleading camp at the College of Wooster for four days in the summer. In general, the squad feels cheer- leading is fun and makes us feel a part of the team. Their goal is to get the school behind us one-hun- dred percent to support the team. 127 Juniors Rick Abdulla Debra Abel Karen Abramson Rich Alexander Debbie Angeli Venny Angeli Pamela Argyris Steve Armatas Becky Baker Cindy Baker Susan Batton Lori Belew Bob Bennett Dale Betz Mark Bierly Brenda Black William Both Dave Bradley Mary Brinkerhoff Barry Brown Tim Brown Jennifer Cable Norman Campbell Lisa Carnes juniors Class Officers: V.P.

Our traditions live on, our spirit remains. Members of all classes have contributed this year to the fulfillment of academic and extra-curricular ambitions, and the enthusiasm of our student body promises a strong beginning for the reorganized schools of the coming years. For many seniors, this final year brings the long-sought high school diploma as a testament to the successful completion of twelve years of learning. In any of its many forms, achievement remains an integral part of the Lehman experience. 164 (A) L-E-H-M-A-N, Lehman is the best. Yes! (B) Faculty members sing Fifty Ways to Beat the Indians at the Denim Day assem- bly. (C) Betsy Hess explains how to make Quiche at a French Club meeting. (D) Sue Frey, Sue Batton, and Jody Gilmore are overjoyed after a basketball victory. (E) The visually impaired are instructed by Mrs. Nolan. (F) Liz Lavin tutors a student with his studies. (G) Carla Pearlman proudly displaces her diploma to Celeste Perez. (H) Jamie Connor, Mary Rucker, and Kris Sims practice for a state band competition. 165 (A) Students leave the school grounds after classes are over. (B) New additions to the Reading Lab, such as the Craig Reader, aid students in their studies. (C) After a long school day. Missy George and Rick Harper sit down to talk. (D) Mr. Stitz teaches his Computer Science class how to operate the com- puter. (E) Theresa Savage performs an experiment in the Chemistry lab. (F) The new McKinley High School, now under construction, will open its doors in the fall of 1976. (G) Mr. Hadden and Dee Ann select her courses for the coming school year. (H) In addition to attending school, Heidi Waidman finds time to work in the kitchen at Aultman Hospital. 166 Challenge And Promise Meet In The Future Lehman has much to be proud of in its past, but it must look to the future. Lehman will join Crenshaw, Hartford, Souers, and Lincoln Junior Highs. Sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors will have the option of choosing between Timken High School and McKinley High School. Despite many changes, however, much will remain the same. Benefits such as individual help in language skills, tutoring by students, and first-hand experience in laboratory experimentation will con- tinue. Outside school, pupils will still take an active part in the community, working part-time as a volun- teer or wage earner. Many new ideas will evolve in upcoming years, for as we close a door on the past, we must meet the challenges we will face in the open door of the future. 167 t i % Wonder Clo will not injure your most delicate fabrics --- it is kind to your hands.

INDEX 187 The moods and events accompanying Lehman's last year as a senior high school are difficult to express in a yearbook, but this is what the 1975-76 POLARIS staff has attempted to do. Hopefully we have succeeded in relating to you both this year's events and past highlights in the history of Lehman. This being the last year of Lehman's existence as a senior high school, we wanted to make this book quite special by reminiscing about past activities and people at Lehman. Although Lehman's days as a senior high school are over, the pride and tradi- tions of Lehman will live on. Many people are needed to produce a yearbook, and the POLARIS is no exception. Special thanks go to Miss Martha Boardman, who is advisor of the POLARIS and who devoted much time and effort I into the production of the yearbook. Thanks go also vs- to Mr. Jim Buchman, our advisor from Josten-Amer- ican Yearbook Company, who guided us in our assembling of the yearbook. Jim Patterson is to be commended for his excellent copy in the opening and closing sections. Vic Tolin contributed his efforts to the taking and developing of the fine pictures displayed in this yearbook. Also, thanks should be extended to the dedicated POLARIS staff members who spent many hours laying out pages, writing copy, and cropping pictures. It is through the combined effort of these people that we suc- ceeded in meeting deadlines and assembling the POLARIS. Editors-in-chief, Margo Humphrey and Mary Patterson son I I) 188 ■ • • • - . .
