openly for the annual. In spite of this, the vote was dangerously close. The book was immediately placed under the capable leadership of James Hall CEditor-in-chiefj and Frank Carchedi fBusiness Managerj. There was grave concern over what course the new President would take. Many wondered whether he would embark on narrow- minded and bigoted policies, incompatible with democratic principles. The different groups stood facing each other in hostile readiness wait- ing for developments. The President astonished all by his broad- mindedness which consequently obliterated party lines. We like to pay tribute to Frank Carchedi for his devotion to tolerant principles. In our last year, we have continued to hold the spotlight in differ- ent iields. Eddy Primavera distinguished himself by being President of the Excelsior Club and Captain of the football team, which was com- posed mainly of Seniors. In basketball, James Hall and James Cald- well were the pace setters in nearly every game. In the scholastic field. Alberta Dubin occupied the spotliht. We have concluded our high school career. We look back with just pride over our past accomplishments. We feel certain that our feats have been so remarkable that many of them Will be helpful to our successors in their struggles, and that some will be used by them as precedents. Now with sorrowful hearts we leave these portals, and as a last memorable contribution we present Lowellville High School with our year book, ECHOES. ALL LOVELY THINGS All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die, And youth, that's now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by. Fine Ladies all are soon forgotten, And goldenrod is dust When dead, The sweetest flesh and flowers are rotten, And cobwebs tent the brightest head. In Commercial Law Class-Mr. Appelman: Define a contract. Bananas : When something doesn't expand, it's a contract. f E181 . if N'---f

history. The outbreak of the storm, however, was delayed. It was destined for our Junior year to suffer the inevitable consequences. OUR JUNIOR YEAR Starting our Junior year, we wasted no time in electing class offi- cers. Paul Centofante was re-elected President, other officers Were: Vive-President, Robert Jones, Secretary, James Hall, and Treasurer, James Caldwell. Mr. Metzger was the class advisor. Although the girls made up the mapority of the class, their attempt to elect a girl of- ficer was frustrated for the third successive year. During this year our President, yielding to the pressure of public demand, began calling meetings. Once meetings were called, many argumentative issues came up. In many of these controversies, ardent leaders attacked each other's policies with passionate eloquenceg but those conflicts in principles did not deter the advancement of our class activities. In fact, different points of view were advantageous, for they eliminated the danger of indifference, and gave us a sample of conducting meetings according to parliamentary law. Near the end of the year, in View of our financial distress, there was grave concern as to whether or not we were able to give the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The defiant motto, A hot dog and Pepsi Cola or nothing, could be heard uttered boldly to the Seniors. However, in the end realizing that next year would be our turn, we provided enough funds to be able to sponsor a great banquet. Anita Pallozzi was chosen Prom-Queen of the affair. During the Junior year, we again had scholastic honors, and we held undisputable possession of the athletic honors. Frank Carchedi, by Winning first place in American History in the county scholarship tests, made it the third consecutive year in which at least one of our class- mates won the honor. In athletics We proved our Worth by contributing eight men to the starting line-up in football. We also Won the inter- class basketball championship by a humiliating victory over the Senior boys. In baseball, Andy Susany's steady pitching arm was a priceless factor. OUR SENIOR YEAR We came back the next year with a strong determination to make our last year the most successful. After a most bitterly fought contest, the following were elected class officers: President, Frank Carchedi, Vice-President, Paul Centofanteg Secretary, Anita Pallozzi: and Treas- urer, John DeMarsh. For the first time in our history, We elected a girl, Anita Pallozzi, to act as class officer. Miss Gray automatically was elected class advisor. -f We immediately were called to determine the most momentous question of the year: Whether We were going to have a year book or a trip. Opinions on the issue were so evenly balanced that any trivial influence could change the decision one way or the other. This the administration did when it abandoned its neutral stand and came out L17l X' XNX'X'X'XK'YX'XN ' N 'XR'VX'X'YN'XN'XNeX'X'YXNX'XNYXNX'YY A FN'XNXNXNNXNNNX'YYX'X'X'X'X'YX'X'YX'YXN'XNX'X'X'X'X'X'XNN'X'YYY 'XNYYX' NNNN 'X' +V 'X'NsYX'YX'X'N'X'YY 'YXNX'X'YX'X'
