There is More Beyond The URAELE, 1949 LIBERTY HIGH SEHUUL YUUNGSTUWN, UHIU The old order changeth, yielding place to new. Tennyson's observa- tion on continual change, made so long ago, holds true even today. There is not a pupil in Liberty High School who cannot recognize these many changes that have come about in the last Iew years because of new discoveries, new inventions, and improved methods of transportation and communication. You do well to keep abreast of these changes which have so great an influence on our daily lives as well as on the history of the world. In chemistry, physics, medicine, engineering-in all the arts and sciences--new discoveries and inventions are constantly being revealed! These advances have brought about the highest standards of living ever known. Unfortunately, we have failed to make similar progress in the field of human relations. More important than all the gains made in material things is an improvement in our relation with one another in our own community, and with the other peoples of the world. The hatred, prejudice, and intolerance that separate individuals and nations must be overcome if we are to have peace in the world. What can we do about it as students in our schools? We can make our contribution to the building of a better world by promoting good will and mutual understanding here at home-in school and in our own community. Let us be proud of our fine achievements in its material progress. At the same time, however, let us strive to make much greater advancement in the art of living together. Toward this goal, we twentieth-century pioneers, future builders of America, must direct our efforts. -'EQ Page Two filt- The twentieth century has given to man an ever expanding world. Fron- tiers have been pushed back by the mind of man until by ever increasing degrees the various aspects of our physical lives are being conquered. Proof of progress attained is evidenced by our increased comfort, in our many con- veniences. and in our improved standards of living. The genius of man is challenged by the realization of unlimited fields of research which still lie before us. Diligent examination constantly unveils areas which, heretofore, have been shrouded in the darkness of ignorance. The surface of the possibilities of human achievement has scarcely been revealed. Future efforts will continue to unfold as science achieves intrigu- ing wonders which will affect our daily lives. The world of today will seem quite primitive in the light of the knowledge which may be gained tomorrow. In the future our task will be to concentrate our efforts for the betterment of mankind. The world offers unlimited opportunities for those who have the intellectual stamina and the fortitude to accept the challenge. That is both the challenge and invitation to the youth of today. 'EQ Page Three Ii' In no respect can education be called new, for from the earliest times man has carried on the task of instructing those who follow him. Early teach- ing was undoubtedly individual, as each father taught his son the necessities of making a living, and the son in turn profiting by the fruits of his father's experiences. As time went on, group instruction was found to be more economi- cal and superior, and the task of education was assigned to trained intellec- tual leaders who developed the schools of their times. Our system of education is the cornerstone of our government. It is the result of the realization of the importance of having an intelligent body of citizens. A nation is no wiser nor better than the schools and teachers which it provides for its youth who will be the citizens, the diplomats, and the presi- dents of tomorrow. No longer is the simple readin', writin', and 'rithmetic system adequate. Many additions and supplements have had to be added to the basic formula. Education must produce a citizenry able to cope with the many baffling problems of this chaotic world, a people who can govern themselves and develop through these new fields of progress a life satisfying to the individual and creating, through man's ever increasing knowledge, a world in which greater fields of progress will always be open. l -'El Page Four ll' on if ItJ'fJi.f I L,-5 -1, lv . 5'7' If I To the Class of 1949: We sometimes see present events in a truer perspective if we ask ourselves what importance they will have a hundred years from now. Most things will make little difference a hundred years from now, but there are some things that were vital a century ago, are vital now, and will be a hundred years hence. You seniors have chosen the Forty-niners as an inspiration for your class because those old timers had qualities that a hundred years could not erase. You admire their hardy indi- vidualism, their restless energy, their heads-up self reliance, and their faith in God, their country, and themselves. Everyone wishes you modern Forty-niners well and feels that you will not suffer in comparison with your namesakes of a century ago. E. I. Blott fit Page Five I To you, the Guardians of Knowledge, we owe our apprecia- tion ior your guiding hands. We have tried your patience in- numerable times while you gave us advice and encouragment. You have prepared us for the future, wished us luck, and now stand aside as we take our places in the world-as BUILDERS, perhaps LEADERS, of TOMORROW. -if Page Six B' To You, We Hand the Torch A Kg Q 4 U1 . 7 4 t jg .J' Be it Yours to Hold it High +G! + Lee Cauffield We are all indebted to the members of our Board of Education for their unselfish efforts in behalf of the school. Theirs is an important office in which there is scarcely any recompense except the satis- faction that comes from a job well done. TO THE SENIORS: As you leave high school you will find a continually changing world, in which there is a bewildering array of occupations. From all of these you will select one, and have your try for success. In so doing remember: Success is merely getting what you go after. Have you a plan to work? Work it-that's success. Have you a duty to perform? Perform it-that's success. Have you a dream to realize? Realize it-that's success. Lee Cauffield Board of Education H. Alan Deeley President Raymond F.

We, the 1949 graduates of Liberty High School, have been trained to take our places beside those who seek to solve the perplexing problems which are arising in this our day. Our education is the foundation of our career, the basis of our life, whether it be one of leader or follower. We have received our instruction and are now free to use it as best we know how. As we leave these hallowed halls, we leave treasured memories of hours well-spent, and never-to-be-forgotten friendships. We go forth to new life with a hope that we shall not fail, and with a confidence that we can succeed.

They should, because right now you are peering into the sweet, innocent physiognomies of our dear departing seniors as they have appeared just five short years ago. Yes, they have GROWN UP! Page Eighteen Class History Way back in '37, a group of little boys and girls toddled into Liberty School in the iair city of Churchhill. Bob Kay, Bay Gifford, Bill Edwards, Herman Sostaric, Ray Miketa. Ioann Milliman, Laurel Draves, Alice O'Connell, lean Frew, Thelma Dieter, Doris Homer, Iack Nearhoof, Ann Killmeyer, Iune Thomas, Bob Welk, Alfred Osgood, Ioe Davidson, and Dick Beach made up part of this group. They were frightened and quiet-a far cry from their present character. In second grade Herbie Pittock, Edmond Fredericks, Jack Cramer, lane Berlin, Esther Daley, Doris Elseg, Paul Drvodelic, Nick DiVencenzo, and lim Mapes decided to join the gang. That was the year Doris Homer got her front tooth broken off, and the boys thought they could get away with smoking behind the garage. And, oh! that nasty word from that rhyme, First grade, angels: second grade. s - - - s. Into the third grade these brave two-year veterans marched. Bob Pratt was the only person added to our class that year. lean didn't even know that Bob was alive. Imagine that ! ! No one joined the class in our fourth year of school. The class was beginning to 1oosen up. Remember all those recesses and noons we had to stay in for talking? In fifth grade Danny Fedorchak, Harry Minnick, and Eva Mae Wilson joined the class. Ozzie and Laurel got disgusted with Liberty and left us. Esther was the first girl to latch on to Danny. Who ever told Minnick that Ioann Milliman liked him? Helen Colbert came to our school in the sixth grade. This year the Kay-Milliman romance blossomed out. Mrs. Kay got excited and hit Bob Welk on the head with a book. That explain what is the matter with him. Jumping rope, Drop 13. and Release were the favorite games of both the boys and the girls. Remember all the black and blue marks we had? While we're talking about it, who put the orange peelings down Chicken's back during reading class? If Mrs. Kay was going to make the boys and girls sit together for talking, why didn't she pick out the right people! Seventh grade marked a new turn in the path. We were really growing up. This year, we even began to change classes. We were presented this year with a few new members of our class: Ianice Bott, Margaret Maurer, Iohnny Homonek, Mathew Fleming, and Betty Fritz. The following year, grade eight, Bob Fredericks and Kenny Turner were added to the class. Two big handsome men! ! And Kenny was so-o-o-o bashful, too. ' Ninth grade added Mark Iennings and Delores Hossman to our class. We'll never forget how scared and shy Hossie was. And Mark. well he's always been the class cut-up. We were glad to have both of them. During the tenth grade, we lost one oi our classmates. Iohnny Home-inek decided that he would like to try the Army life, andfso he did! We were very sorry to lose him. But with Iohnny's leaving, two of our old classmates, Alfred Osgood and Laurel Draves. decided that Liberty wasn't so bad after all and came back to join us once again. Eleventh grade was an important one to us in many ways. This year added Bob Baker, Dorothy Tarica, and Mary Lou Scott to our class. Along with the excitement of the junior year went the picking of class rings, the class play, and that one event which is looked forward to by everyone. our first prom. V Now the great day ! ! We finally made the grade. We were SENIORS! We did not acquire any new members in the class. but we were very unfortunate in our loss of three-Bob Fredericks. Bob Pratt, and Herb Pittock. All three of these lads became sailors of the sea. Through these twelve years in which we acquired our education and became prepared to enter this great business world, we have made many new friends. They have, each and every one of them, been a true, kind friend, and we are proud of all our classmates. To the coming classes, we hope that you shall. have as nice a group of friends and classmates as we have had during the past years. We sincerely ieel that we have one of the finest classes ever to pass through the doors of good old Liberty High School. 'El Page Nineteen lil' HIP Tweuly Destiny's Call As I look into my crystal ball, I think of those in the Senior Class. What would be destiny's call, To them in the years that pass? Would Baker be a commentator on the radio? Would Hossie ever find the one she wants? Would Bubbles be selling Texaco? And would Bill still go to his old familiar haunts? Would lean become a sailor's wife? Would Danny to Esther be true? Would Chicken lead a bachelor's life? And would Doris be a bride, too? Would Suspie be an umpire? And Mapes a ladies' man? Would Paul become an airplane flyer? And would Bob marry Ioann? Would Iane always be Larry's favorite singer? Would Kenny lead a band? Would Helen have that ring on her finger? Would Ann always be willing to lend a hand? Would Ray and Harry still pal around? Would Eva always be so quiet? Would Marge drive her car abound? Would Ianice be Mrs. McKnight? Would Iune always be so sweet? Would Joe always be so shy? Would Dorothy always be so petite? Would Cramer never stop asking Why ? Would Mark become a doctor? Would aiming high always be Gizzy's ambition? Would Ozzie be a contractor? Would Beach be an electrician? Would Doris and Thelma always be so chummy? Would Matt always be such a good friend? Would Torchy and Betty always have dispositions so sunny? Would Alice's talking never end? Would Bob Welk always walk so slow? Would Nick always be so sleepy? Would Scottie with friendliness glow. And always be cheery? Oh crystal ball, these visions you show, Of the Class of 49 , Let them live on and let Liberty know, That these last twelve years were fine.

Yankees. Such clever majorettes-What a wonderful day- wonderful meal-and Oh! What a trip home! November: Election day. The bond issue for the new school passed 4 to l! I That's real co-operation, isn't it? Sewing circles are fun, aren't they? We began making sewing kits for our senior mother's Christmas presents at Ianice's home. Those cookies that Janice baked were not only good, but quite novel. Our sewing was continued at Iane's home a few evenings later. This, too, was a mem- orable evening. December: Our new score board arrived. We have waited a long time, but it was worth it. We had a Christmas party for our parents. Each one of us was most proud to say, This is my mom: here is my dad! January: Time is pushing us. We were measured for our graduation caps and gowns. They will be pretty: maroon for the boys, white for the girls, and a gold tassel for each. February: Mrs. Sebastian held a party for us at her home. Say, she's not only a career gal: she can also cook. March: Class basketball games were held in the gym at noon. The senior girls bowed to the juniors, but the senior boys won their game in a tight match. That was an interesting assembly on ceramics-Polomene Potters. We should have more of that kind. April: Two things popped up on the ninth of the month. The Glee Club and the band went to Kent for a rating. The seniors had tickets for the opera Othello in Cleveland that night. What a busy and exciting day! May: Our senior play- Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. How well we remember the practices and getting into our director's hair by ad- libbing. What a time we had! And prom. Probably this is the last get together for all of us. It surely gives one kind of nostalgic feeling. Baccalaureate on the last Sunday night of our high school life! Are those butterflies caused by nervousness or excitement? With the Glee Club we sang our favorite songs The Holy City and Bless This House. Shall we ever hear those melodies again without thinking of this occasion? Iune: This is IT! Graduation. A big day for all of us. And the teachers too! Diplomas, here we come!! +R!

The introduction of candy ma- chines to the halls of LHS was one of the outstanding con- tributions of this class. The first really important occasion was the day they chose their long-dreamed-of class rings. Then try outs for the play-did you ever see such anxiety? Their Thanks- giving Dance was a huge suc- cess and, because of their thorough job of decorating, the streamers remained intact the entire evening. For their own personal enter- tainment, the juniors had a theater party at the beginning Iack I-Iaiely Gary Harbison Ioanne Heller Ioyce Heller Herbert Hoover Dick Kinkley Richard Koehler Leo Lawrentz David Lindsay Jacqueline Luther of the year, and a never-to-be forgotten Christmas party at B e v e r 1 y O'Neil's-mistletoe and everything!

Without effort, nothing is accomplished. This is a truism that is applicable in every aspect of life: high school is no exception. The activities in Liberty High School offer students opportunities to de- velop the abilities and talents which they possess. Many benefits are derived from our program of activities. Foremost of these is the development of leader- ship which will enable us to take our places in the world. Willingness to face responsibility is another virtue which is developed as students follow their various endeavors. The hidden talent may never come to life except through the medium of the informed group of enthusiastic students working toward some common goal. Students, working and playing together, develop whole- some attitudes, a sense of responsibility, a realization of the importance of co-operation, and a respect for that individual who can work with and for his friends. The same characteristics which are developed through our activities are of importance in our everyday world. Citizens of the future are needed who can face responsibility, who know how to co-operate, and who are imbued with the desire to work for the good of all people. Activities being the keynote to a richer, fuller life in high school, are likewise the keynote to progress. If we participate wisely, we shall grow into a more fully satisfying life, and we shall be better able to contribute our share in making this world a happier place for all peoples everywhere. if Page Thirty-eight lif- LIBERTY BELL The Liberty Bell is published monthly by the members of the Clerical Office Practice Class under the capable direction of Miss Powers. This school newspaper contains ten pages and has a circulation of 285. Interesting news stories, comedy feature stories, sport news, and columns are presented in every issue. Would you have time to make 50 copies of this by 1:15 to- day? ..... Please take this notice around to the teachers ..... Would you type this letter for me? ..... These and many other questions and requests are familiar to the girls who have Clerical Office Practice. However, most of the girls enjoy these duties and are thankful for the experience in office work. Besides the tasks the girls do for the teachers, they have regular class and textbook work. This is one class that requires considerable time, and one which is only a half credit course: but the girls all highly recommend this class. -'Sf Page Thirty-nine ik Melodious strains of music can be heard, drifting through the sound proofing, about the seventh period every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. The harmoniously blended efforts ot many Cwould-bel musicians come to light during this band practice. The band, reorganized by Mr. Schroeder this year, contains several younger players who are being trained with the veteran players to assume their responsibility in the band in years to come. Their reperotire is large, ranging anywhere from Boogie-Woogie to the Light Cavalry Overture , with the usual number of marches included. The band serves many purposes in the school activity program throughout the year. ill llagc' Forty lk The glee club this year is one of the largest ever trained at Liberty High. Mr. Schroeder said that we will be one of the largest choruses he has ever taken to the Kent contest. Our contest number is called Oh, Lord Redeemer .

They are would-be stage folk, and they have been driven to this community scheme by the lack of economic security. It is a whacky plan they have in mind, for the apartment they rent is immediately above that of a Broadway producer who has quite a hit running and is about to cast a road company. They rehearse the play which he is currently producing, but the problem is-how to get him upstairs to see it?The plans are further complicated by the fact that a snippy young friend of one of the girls enters the picture and threatens to tell the girl's father that she is living in what could most politely be called an unusual manner. Now, it so happens that the producer is an amateur chef of some considerable ability, and right in the middle of a culinary concoction he runs out of flour. He comes upstairs to borrow a cup. At last! The kids have him in the house, and they aren't going to let him out until he sees some evidence of their ability. So to impress him they stage a murder scene. It is so realistic that police swarm into the scene and the misunder- standing becomes hilarious when it is discovered the girl who is playing the corpse has been served a Mickey Finn. However, in spite of everything, what seems to be a profitable friendship springs up, and Equity dues gets paid and the landlady gets the back rent, and it looks as if the future might hold some promise for the youngsters. if Page Forty-two lil' Williard Zimmerman Mary Larue Work Ann Tobin Ierry Peduzzi Carole Colbrunn Homer Hush Iohn Ryan Pete Ryan Ieanne Berlin Ray England Beverly O'Neill Iack Hafely Qi 1 rr- r or rili ri no A 5 5 X , .

The flaming torch is the emblem of this society. To bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep burning in our schools a high ambition for the enduring values of life, and to serve-all are symbolized in the torch. Our members faithfully try to carry out these principles: Scholarship, Leader- ship, Character, and Service. These members are chosen by the faculty from students who rank in the upper third of the junior and the senior classes. Elections are limited to five per cent of the junior class and to fifteen per cent of the senior class. The installation at Champion High School on February 19 was a solemn and impressive ceremony. 'Et Page Forty-five FJ' The primary objective of the staff of librarians is to serve the students by assisting them in the library. They learn to repair books, check them in and out, and file and keep re- cords of the books. We also have a library bulletin board, and the librarians try to keep it up to date, advertising the new books. These girls, who volunteer their services, are conscientious and willing workers. ...-tt., Page Forty-six ii? Le Cercle Francais is a group of thirty-five students who are interested in learning more about the French people and their language. The meetings are held in the music room of the school, and usually consist of a speaker or a planned pro- gram followed by music and a social hour. French songs and short plays are practiced to p r o v i d e entertainment and opportunities for conversation. Many of the members read Le Petit I o u r n al, a newspaper printed in French. It is pub- lished in New York City to give American students of French interesting material about France and current affairs. As far back as October, 1948, boys and girls of the senior class began work on this year book. The story included in these pages is the story of Liberty in 1948-1949. Though responsibility for the recording of it has been ours, the year belongs to you. Consequently we have attempted to prepare a factual account of the high- l lights of the year. We have tried to publish a book that could be read and appreciated from the opening pages to the end. We have tried to emphasize whal we did so that the record of the year might be as nearly complete as possible. This book represents the combined efforts of many of the students of the senior class. In addition, several underclassmen have aided our work through their co-operation. The business staff included our advertising solicitors-Marcus Iennings, Bob Baker, Bill Edwards, Herman Sostaric, Iames Mapes, Harry Minnick, and Kenneth Turner as well as our Oracle salesmen -Iack Nearhoof, Hay Miketa, Ann Killmeyer, and Margaret Maurer. The art work which serves to introduce the various sections of our book was the exclusive handi- work of lean Frew. Delving into the future became the assignment for Ioann Millimon, Ianice Bott, Esther Daley, and lane Berlin. From out cf the blue mist of their crystal ball stepped designers, farmers par excellence, professional athletes, teachers, vocalists, musicians, and home makers. With zeal and zest, music editor, Danny Fedorchak, beat out the musical section. Special conferences with Coach Griffith and sports reviews of Liberty's athletes kept Bob Kay and lack Nearhoof on their toes. The idea and preparation of the baseball diamond was Marcus Iennings'. To Thelma Dieter fell the task of keeping a record of this year's events. Write-ups of our strictly senior activities were contributed by Bill Edwards, lean Frew, Ianice Bott, and Laurel Draves. But for the unceasing work of our typists Delores Hoss- man, Esther Daley, Margaret Maurer, Janice Bott, Betty Fritz, and Alice O'Connell this book would never have gone to press. With cheerful disposi- tions they typed and retyped until their fingers were stiff. With the distribution of these annuals ends the story of the 1949 Oracle. l U Page Forty-seven its That NEW LOOK- Colorful and fashionable outfits have been created, representing that NEW LOOK by these seam- stress-to-be. Miss Lorenz is most generous with her time and patience in teaching these girls the fundamentals of sewing. To these draftsmen of the future Mr. Wheeler de- votes rnuch time. These drawing courses are de- signed to give work in free hand sketching, orthogra- phic projection, machine d r a w i n g , and architec- tured drawing. The objec- tive of the entire industrial arts department is to ac- quaint the boys with mod- ern tools and tool pro- cesses, to familiarize them with materials used in wood construction, and also in the types of con- struction. qi, Y 1?

The efforts of the individual often seem meager and fruitless as he tries in his own small Way to accomplish his purpose. As the individual joins in groups and classes the desired results become stronger and more effective. As the classes merge their strength and energy, the spirit and zest of the school is much increased. Activities which the individual could not hope to realize become positive accomplishments as the various groups direct their united efforts to build a better school. Iust as we students have learned to unify our efforts and to co-operate, so we must continually strive to utilize our full strength as new opportunities are presented to us. eff Page Forty-xiirle Physicists are in the makng under the super vision of Mr. D'Onofno OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY Cornelia cmd Emily, in a frenzy of excitement as they prepare to sail for Europe, are trying desperately hard to appear bored and very accustomed to this sort of thing. They are determined to be completely independent. They have saved up their money, and are off on their own-anxious to prove how mature they have become. Aboard the ship, they have an exciting adven- ture with a stowaway, mistake the leader of the ship's band for an admiral, take all sorts of fancy seasick remedies, and then meet two handsome young medical students. When the ship was nearing port, Cornelia learns that she has contracted the measles. At her age! Cornelia is petrified. Emily is convinced that they will be quarantined on the ship. The only thing to do is somehow to pass Cornelia by the medical inspector. Cornelia must exercise all the make-up skill she has. The act she puts on in front of the bewildered medical inspector is uproarious. The girls get by the inspector and are off to Paris. Here, they get involved with a gas meter that explodes, sleep in a bed that Cardinal Richelieu once used, and try to convince a great French actor that he should give them acting lessons. These are but a few of the wonder- ful moments in the final play produced by our illustrious seniors. +31 Page Fifty ll' In Ourselves is the l 5 ,AQ I Triumph or Defea t.

For most of the boys on the squad, this would be their last season of baseball, and a championship would climax a thrilling high school baseball career. We started off the season well by defeating Howland 5 to 3 in a hard- fought game. Iennings and Ryan led the way with two hits each. The next week we had a practice game against Hartford, which we won by the score of 6 to 4. We even had Suspie umpiring behind the plate. Some class, huh? We heard all season that Champion had one of the best teams in our league, so we were primed to meet them. The game was played on a wet, cold day, which didn't help much. However, Lady Luck and alertness was on our side, and we defeated Champion 4 to 1 in a nine-inning affair. Bill Edwards was the big gun of Liberty's victory by pitching superbly and getting three well-needed hits. Then came our annual fall series with Leavittsburg. Every year we have to play more than one game because the weatherman turns on the rain. This year we encountered Leavittsburg three times. Leavittsburg beat us for the fourth straight year: this time by the score of 6 to 4. The Liberty cripple crew ended the season by defeating Mineral Ridge 7 to 1. For the boys who are leaving the team, I should like to express our thanks to Coach Griffith for his leadership and to wish him championship teams in the future. -'Et Page Fifty-four B+ ' . ...

In February we started bowling every Monday at Iulian's in Girard. During February and March we played basketball with Girard, Vienna, and Hubbard. These games were real fun. The G. A.

IEAN FREW President IOANN MILLIMAN Vice'President IOAN PAYTON Secretary HELEN SHIRILLA Treasurer Page Fifty-five l- A l Q --V' Our Liberty High cagers underwent a very difficult season by taking on a number of schools that greatly outclassed us. Although we lost eleven games of our twenty scheduled contests, we lost five games by a very narrow margin. This was the first year of the new T. I. A. League in which Liberty was grouped with the larger schools. In spite of our win and loss record, our boys were in there fighting every minute they were on the courts. Five members of the squad played their last game for Liberty: Bob Welk, Mark Iennings, Bob Baker, Iim Mapes, and Ken Turner. Liberty's hopes next year will lie in the one regular starter, Gary Harbison, and a few reserves that received a little varsity experience. The reserves played a schedule similar to that of the varsity, but they were not so fortunate with their victories. While they won only five games of their nineteen games played, they received a great deal of experience. The reserves dropped five games by single basket or a foul shot. Our hopes for next year should be great for the reserves, as they will have most of the players back. They will also inherit a few junior high boys that are handy on the hardwoods. ell Page lfiltyesix CHEERLEADERS lean Frew Danny Feclorchak Ioann Milliman i Helen Snyder Peggy Modarelli Bernadette Delmark Marlene Kostello Avis Stephenson Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty N.

We met in front of the school at 11:00. Believe it or not, all thirty-five of us were on time. After getting securely on the bus, we started for Cleveland, laughing, singing, and joking all the while. A few of the kids brought lunches, which we all enjoyed. I think everyone enjoyed the coffee that Mr. and Mrs. Blott brought along: they had enough for an army! Mrs. Blott surely had a time of it--coffee in one hand, cream and sugar in the other, and trying to keep her balance on a moving bus. Those that didn't get it in their cups got it in their laps. Then we stopped at Parkman to stretch our legs and to get something to drink. Those two camera fiends, Mr. Blott and Mr. Deeley, took pictures of all that went on. We arrived in Cleveland about 1:30, parked the bus, and went straight to the stadium. Someone should tell those poor fellows who sell trinkets the sports season: They were still selling banners and pins with the Indians' insignia. On our way to our seats we saw Bill Veeck. We spoke to him and he replied, Hi, fellas. Funny thing, he didn't sign any of us! Before the game and during the half time, George Byrd's Musical Majorettes performed. They executed several novelty acts and complicated drills, all of which were very interesting to the fans. Someone should explain to a certain senior girl about the goal posts. Said she, Now, isn't that something? See how the team takes the ball to the end of the field to kick it through the posts to the spectators. tSome people do things the hard way, don't they?l Then she added brightly, Say, why didn't we get seats over there? Maybe I could take something of importance home to my kid brother. He'd love a football! It was very cold, and everyone was fighting for a corner of the blanket. Everyone was glad Mr. Sebastian had brought his binoculars: I mean, every- one except Mr. Sebastian. But we weren't a hundred per cent selfish, for we let him use them to and from the game. The New York Yankees proved no match for the powerful Browns, as you can tell by the score - Cleveland 35, New York 7. After the game we climbed aboard the bus and drove to Mil1's Restau- rant, where Mrs. Sebastian had previously made reservations. We left Cleve- land about 7:00 tired and full!! Everyone must have been extremely happy with himself for there was not one quiet moment all the way home. That was a day that will linger long in our memories. -'El Page Fifty-eight IB'- Page Fifty-mined Vyyxsnkrxx 4 Ia-up 'NW 'J.....3ihN'QK 'G-Xu Q bluff- fb fAowu-J ww- 'Q - v-,Baud M2 ' w.-ma.-.1 N In 915311 Y' ' YD:-A aw gzfafflf L11 f .Lru,f'1' j 12' lrurffe- 7,149 7M,,.,,,Af , f M61 C2-30 '.f ff.fTf'A- LAL M327 M minkus - -- Yxmngifxsluuuu Tavnnhxp - - -- 1.,.,.A.....f uvJvi!'s-no M4!olhqA-ii'-'5.,..gu.Y'1-JY -3000 M.12g,.,.,..J Iam! ww- - - yu. mac.. Uv-lah-.wN' -NM M1 Mail' N. Wie Slxty f 1-.IU On December 8 the Senior Class honored their parents with a dinner in the auditorium. The tables, at which were seated 115 guests, were aglow with lighted candles and glistening angels. The place cards and favors had been prepared by the seniors themselves. After singing the Doxology , each senior lit the small candle which stood on his parents' place cards and his own before sitting down. The success of any dinner depends upon those who plan the repast. To Mrs. Nearhoof, we owe an especial debt, for it was she who acted as chair- man. Her immediate assistants were Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Iennings, and Mrs. Vehre. Many other mothers, however, willingly offered all possible assistance. During the dinner, seniors -both fellows and girlseetook over the task of keeping vegetable and meat dishes filled, coffee poured, and ice cream and cake served. Having completely gorged themselves, the members of the class pro ceeded to the entertainment. Doris's poem was both clever and timely. Comedy interest was introduced with the corny program-costumes, music, and jokes-put on by the German band. Because some might not have been recognized behind the mass of grease paint, whiskers, glasses, pipes, and pillows, these took part: lean Frew, Esther Daley, Ioann Milliman, Iack Near- hoof, Alfred Osgood, Kenneth Turner, and Danny Fedorchak. The ever- popu- lar White Christmas was sung by the crowd, with an obligato by Kenneth Turner. lean Frew's humorous tap dance produced considerable titter among the crowd. Ianice's and Ioan's duets were conducive to humming, while every- one sat still as churchmice when Iane sang Oh, Holy Night. Mrs. Floyd Miller brought Van Dyke's The Other Wise Man to the group, a story which greatly enhanced that Christmas spirit. With everyone's singing of Silent Night the program closed. Boys, as well as girls, all helped to clear away the tables for dancing. And the floor wasn't filled with seniors alone-parents, too, tripped the light fantastic. Those few adults who didn't dance enjoyed themselves in visiting. As the hour of departure approached, everyone went home with a happy, warm feeling in his heart. The evening had been well-spent: that night would not soon be forgotten! 'ff:gs -..::5.fsg::fe,- ' ' - if Page Sixty-two lif- In May, 1948, the G. A. A. held their annual May Queen Dance. Four candidates were chosen previously from grades nine to twelve. The boys voted Dolores Savage the May Queen. At the dance, Dolores wore a light blue formal and carried cz lovely bouquet of red roses. The G. A. A. girls led the procession followed by the other candidates for May Queen. Then came the previous year's Queen, lean Frew. The new May Queen came in last, looking very pretty and most happy. After the G. A. A. girls performed the May pole dance, lean crowned Dolores May Queen of Liberty School for 1948. Harold Glancy, Lettermen Club president, sealed the ceremony with a kiss for the Queen. +R Page Sixty-three lk .Nx- Page Sixty-four Service, not serve us. MOTHERS' CLUB During the twelve years of its existence, the primary purpose of the Mothers' Club has been to serve the school cmd the community. Increased interest in the activities of this organization is evidenced yearly by the addi- tion of many members, and by its well-attended meetings. Pupil participation by students of the first six grades, the Home Economics Department, and the Music Department is featured in the club's monthly program. This undoubtedly is responsible for much of the interest displayed by the mothers. The elected officers serving the Mothers' Club are: Mrs. Harold Turner, president: Mrs. Marlin Clouser, vice-president: Mrs. Russell Vaughn, secretary: and Mrs. William Evans, treasurer. -if Page Sixty five Mrs. Georgie Cliff Mr. lack Kennedy Mrs. Sue Miller Mrs. Decker, our school nurse, performs various and sundry duties in her role as a friend in need. During the week she dispenses relief to approximately one hundred fifty students. She assisted Dr. Birch in administering the Shick Test to one hundred fifty children and immunized fifty who had positive reactions. They are planning to give the Patch test to all the students in the first eight grades. All first grade students have had a dental examination and have been tested by the audiometer for hearing. Mrs. Decker has been the agent through which many needy children received clothing and shoes. She is an asset to our school and is a good friend to all. 1 Congratulations to the Class of 1949.

The men engaged in these businesses have been our friends. Without their aid the 1949 ORACLE would not have been possible. With the advancement of industry, specialization has become universal, and it is necessary for the manufacturer and merchant to advertise to place their products and wares before the public. The era in which there was direct contact between producer and consumer has passed. Now the customer, the manufacturer, and his product meet through the medium of advertising. Advertising has become a field of progress which educates the consumer and introduces him to better and improved ways of living. The intelligent consumer will find these advertisements of use as he goes about his daily affairs. Improved products are publicized, and the consumer can learn oi the advantages which various commodities offer. With the exercise of critical judgment the potential consumer makes the wise choice.
