V -Frances Angermayer Page fifteen Tim Ears LOWELLVILLE IN THE WAR Lowellville is proud of the part it has played in the 'I Y.A ar-and rightly so. lt's people have proven patriotic and courageous by contributing their sons as Well as succeding in all War Loan Drives. Every family shared the burden to bring victory. Men and Women have Worked in defense plants and the children have helped collect Waste fats, Waste pa- per and have willingly given their help when called upon. These people not only gave what they could, but also have endured many inconveniences, such as the shortage of sugar, gasoline, and household articles. But none can compare with difficulties endured by our boys. Our boys willingly gave their services to help their country after that fateful day of December 7, 1941. All the 600 boys of this community made a part of our Army, Navy and Marine Corps. These boys have served all over the World-Europe, Afri- ca, the Pacific, and the Orient. Now that the strife is over, our boys are return- ing and it Will be the job of Lowellville to make its returning veterans feel at home again and take their place in the community affairs. WORLD WAR ll 1941--1945 Page sixteen - The Eclrxo W - ,1' 'is- SALUTE TO THE FACULTY IN THE WAR We salute these men, for we know that the services we gave will seem small, when measured with their accomplishments. We knew these men as teachers, counselors, and what is more, as true friends. Their absence is felt much by the gap they have left. But until they have all returned, we are fortu- nate in having such competent teachers to take their places during their ab- sence. We await the day of their return for we know that by their unselfishness, sacrifices, and influence they have rendered great service to our beloved coun- try. A veteran of World War I, Captain DeFord again volunteered his services. He has been in charge of war prisoners at Camp Haan, California. Lieutenant Reed participated with the occupational forces which entered Iapan, while a- board U. S. S. Todd.

ALMA MATER To thee, oh dear old Lowellville High School, We sing our praises loud and true. How beautiful thy banners gleaming Thy colors of the gold and blue. While students gather round thine altars, With tributes of your praises high And mingle merry hearts and voices, In praise of Lowellville High. Here as the evening shades are falling And gone is every care of day, And closest ltinships all be broken As out in life we wend our way. But yet Whatever be life's fortune, We'll always think of you and sigh, We'll love thee still our Alma Mater Our dear old Lowellville High. New York University Palisades CLASS HISTORY - Well, here we are, was the attitude when we entered the seventh grade, We had just been rulers of our grade school and had a very cocky air about us as we filed into the school auditorium for our first assembly. We were soon brought to our proper frame of mind by Mr. Metzger, who started on his favorite topic-The Seventh Graders. Then we began to shrink. We shrank so, that as seventh graders, we were heard of little. Next year, we regained some of our confidence by see-ing the other seventh graders squelch and squirm. Of course, we were still considered small fry. This year was also spent quietly, although we helped raise some money for War Bonds and this was some job. Ninth Grade was a little more eventfu.l, for we started to be recognized and so participated in many of the school activities. Night work began to increase, but we learned to stand up under the barrage, which later we learned was a burden to be carried for the next three years. Our tenth year was when we really felt big We were now flashing our class rings around and took a larger part in preparing the activities for the school. There were many things of which we were proud, Mac Krall played Varsity Basketball and Pat ludiciani played Varsity Football. At last, in our eleventh year came the time we had been eagerly await- ing. We believed this to be our best year. We had almost reached our goal. The Senior had no pity for us, for they hounded us continually a- bout raising enough money for the biggest event of the year, the Iunior and Senior Prom. Our best means' of raising money was the Turkey Raffle and the Class Play. After surviving the great task of securing these funds, we gave the Seniors a great banquet which was held at the Mahoning Coun- Page l ,, , , twenty-eight jim. Ecko- g Class History QContinuedD try Club. This had never before been practiced. After a wonderful dinner, we had speeches by the Senior and lunior Class Presidents, Eldo Netto and lay Moore, respectively, and talks by some members of the faculty. Mr. Haines act- ed as toastmaster. According to L. H. S. tradition, the lunior boys choose a Prom Queen to reign for the night. This year, Rose Donatelli was chosen Queen and was crowned by Mary Romeo, the Queen of l944. Qur lunior days went entire- ly too fast, and before we realized it, we had received our report cards and were about to prepare for our twelfth and last year. ' Qur Senior year, under the sponsor ship of Miss Gray, was an active and merry one. There were so many things to do and so little time in which to do them. There Were dances and send-off parties which were given for those who left their last vear to serve their country. Then, the Senior Play, graduation pict- ures, Senior Prom, Baccalaureate Services and last, Commencement. Qne rea- son for this year being so eventful was the great job our boys did in making us County Champs in football. lt isn't very often that a class can boast of having an undefeated team. For a while we feel proud of our acccomplishments, then we discover that our days of fun are over and We are out in this cruel world--again as small'fry. WHY SENIOBS COME TO SCHOOL? R.

Looking jolly and well fed, he wished us all kinds of luck and gave us two documents to be given to the two great lawyers, Slaven and Zarlengo. Quite a few of our friends were present at the send-off: Norma l-leadrick and Theresa Sarville, famous authors of Two Babes on the Loose, Mr. and Mrs. Pat Mangine Clrene Savonl and their little daughter, Gale, and also Toni List who is one of the Powers Models. As we got aboard the train called The Spirit of Ammonia which, of course, ten years ago we would never have known this device to be a train, we met the porter whom we also know as Lindsay Moore. We chatted for awhile and then went on to our seats. Whom did we find but Leonard Esposito and Frank Cic- ciarello! Lennie has his own orchestra and Frank is featured on the clarinet. They are now playing at the Stork Club with that oldie, Harry lames. When we got off the train in Chicago whom did we meet but Rose Donatelli, confidential secretary ot the President of the T. A. A., and Elsie Perry, who is now helping Iames Moore with his new discovery on the Atom Bomb, concerning ras dar. They told us that Marjorie Primavera was now a United States Army Nurse and also that George Mongine was making discoveries on a new drug to be used in Cancer Research. As we walked through Chicago, we went into Marshal Fields and whom should we run into but Mary Ann Robb, who has become a famous corsetiere for this concern. She told us to go over to the Bridal Department, where Loretta Cook was modeling bridal clothes. Because of her saintly look she had been chosen as the model bride of the United States. Mary Ann informed us that Mary Lou De Pasquale and Veronica Leason were two featured' dancers with the Fol- lies in Paris, which was under the direction of Tony Caltagirone and Armand Centofante. Mary Ann also told us that Donald Arp had been elected Governor of the State which we were now visiting, and we should try to see him and his wife, the former Lucille Faraglia. WL said our goodbyes and went to our heli- copter. As the doorman helped us into the helicopter, l took more notice of the pilot and who should it be but Roy Dutton, resplendent in gold braid and all. He told us that Lucille Conti and Helen Gbur lifted faces at the Uplift Beauty Sa- lon on Michigan Boulevard and the two famous hairdressers with this establish- ment were Iean Norberg and Amelia Piskovich. Page thirty-two The Ecko ll.endevous With Tomorrow CContinuedD We arrived at our destination, the Governors mansion, and who should be their butler?-Pat ludiciani. As Pat ushered us into the Library, two maids went by, who were none other than, Phyllis Tamburino and Elizabeth Mulina. When the Governor and his wife came in, they greeted us warmly and told us that Richard Iohnson and Peter Argenziano were manufacturing helicopters. Donald also told us that Frank Cicuto and Rocco Miletta headed production ol these new type machines. He said, too that Ioe Williams and Augustine DiRus- so were working on the property as lan dscapers. After we left the Governors mansion, we boarded our train. There were Rose Catanzarite, Ann Menichini, Dorothy Mohney and Angie Mariotti who were hostesses. We left our luggage and made our way to the diner, where we saw Harry Krall who told us he was going West to act as coach for U. C. L. A. We then retired to our luxurious drawing-room and discussed the various activities our former classmates were now engaged in. As we listened to the swish of the powerful rockets that propelled The Spirit of Ammonia at the terrific speed ever westward, we consoled ourselves in the fact that Margie was a famous model for that widely known Rossi-Kaneski syns dicate. As for myself CBarbara Gristl l'm on my way to the great rocket base in Los Angeles, to take an early atom cruis er to Mars, where l will take possession of my vast estate there. Can You lmagine?

So after one week of constant work, night and day, without food or water, we have finally condensed it. We hope that we have covered the most important events. A ln September we entered L. H. S. with great pep and vitality. A few weeks later, in our sane minds and fully conscious of our actions, we elected class officers. The most important event of the year so far, was the turkey raffle, We also sponsored two dances. They were both great successes. CThanks to Seventh and Eighth Gradesl. In football, many of our lunior boys played a superb part in helping to capture the title of Mahoning County Champs. They were cheered to victory by their home song, The Toasty Taste Clown. Al Alterio and Tom Marcorte played brilliantly in the backfield. Io Io Ste- phenson played as end, while Frank lnnocenzi served as tackle. Others who played are B. Fisher, T. Catanzarite, A. Nolfi, and I. Mayberry. And now our spotlight turns to Frank lnnocenzi who has been elected Captain of the l946 football team, and to our 6'4 pride and joy, Io lo Stephenson. Io Io, who made varsity bas- ketball during his sophomore year, is now playing center. I. Crocetti, R. Fisher, C. Derenzo, P. Meehan, and A. Finamore also played basketball. Our lunior girls are undefeated in the G. A. A. Basketball tournaments. Last year they were undefeated in the class tournaments. Kitty Iones and Stella Simone are our two cheer- leaders of whom we are very proud. Now that our third year of high school is nearly finished we are going to putt forth all our effort to make the best of our Senior year. CLASS CONDUCT DEPARTMENT Freshman-- I don't know.

Vile entered our Sophomore year September 7, l945. As all Sophomores we were elated at the thought of initiating Freshmen as the Sophomores the year before had initiated us. Also, we were going to do our best to keep the Iuniors and Seniors from saying, those Sophomoresu in the same tone as they had said, those Freshmen, but they did. In sports our boys have excelled. At the beginning oi the year, the Sophomore boys in the football line-up were: Iack Esarco, Pat and Iohn Augustine, Billy Ripple and Domenic Po- lito. ln basketball we have a good showing. Iack Esarco is one oi the iirst six. Included on the reserve team is Dick Williams fone of the big ten playing in the County Tournamentsl, Ernie Delisio, and Mike DeLisio. Backing our boys and leading our cheering sections, are Frances Crocetti and Marie Sarville. Frances and Marie along with Mary Ellen Mariotti are Majorettes. Six of our Sophomore girls, Shirley DiLullo, Frances Crocetti, Madeline Conti, Virginia Bon- grazio, Marian Rossi, and Ioanne Grow have formed a new sextette, under the guidance of Mr. Gittings. fContinued on page 46I Page forty W I I W Y Y W ,F A egfilfTIAL Eckoj ornno Freshmen Left to right, First Row:--D.

A., bowling, and athletic the student body of Lowellville High School. Excelsior Club is very active Since the Club is a very selective in the social lite ot the school. The first dance in this Sept. 28. Olher activities ot the Club are: swimming at meets in the gym organization-V-never numbering more than twenty-live- naturally our entrance requirements are very difficult. To be a member of this organization, a person must be a male student of Lowellville High School, a Senior, lunior or Sophomore, and must not be found objectionable on the standpoint of character or scholastic ability by old members. SOPHOMCRES CContinuedD ln the cerebal portion of our class we are also to be congratulated. Patricia Batteiger and loseph Erskine were representatives from our class in the hunt for Youngstown's Quiz Kid. Three of our class members left us this year and we want all to know that they are upper- most in our thoughts. The boys are Pat and lohn Augustine, and Willis Mohney. Pat was Secretary. Another member we are justly proud of is Billy Shericlc, who is serving in the army. That's the end of our Sophomore history and now admit it---you do agree we are quite the class.

When Mr. Reed lett our school to join the service, his position was capably taken over by Mrs. Merz. The club teaches students how to conduct themselves at school dances as well as how to dance. A nicl-:elodeon was purchased when the club was first organized and the upkeep has been maintained by the succeeding members. The nickelodeon is rented out to all classes and organizations ol the High School at a reasonable lee. ln the line of activities, the club, so tar, this year has given a dance which was very successful and which was patronized by practically all the pupils. Last year, the club intro- duced new entertainment at the school dances which proved worthwhile-this entertainment was a floor show during intermission This adds variety and gives the patrons more enters tainment.

In the early part of the year, Boardman High School and Lowellville exchanged assembly programs. The Chorus made up the main part of this program. In the Spring Concert the Chorus made a wonderful showing. Over the l3TOGClCClSfiYlg 1'19iWOFk of WFMI, The girls' and boys' chorus took part tor the second time on High School on Parade.

During his college days at Wooster, he was Captain of the football team and on the track team. While atten- ding football coaching school he was under the late Francis Schmidt. He was an assistant to Mr. Iohnson for six years before becoming head coach in l936. Mr. Haines, a patient, long'-suffering man, Worked hard to build the great team that he put out this year. A His hobby is taking care of chickens. Although winning many Inter-Valley titles, this year was his first undefeated team. FOOTBALL The greatest football team to come out of Lowellville High! The first undefeated and uni- ted team in l.owellville's seventeen years of football! lt also defeated Struthers High School -a feat never before accomplished by our school. Backed by a good student crowd with plen- ty of enthusiasm, our school ended its best football campaign in Lowellville's grid history. Our team- down river boys, as called by many-were paced by one of the flashiest backfields in many a year. Standouts were Seniors, Krall and Slaven, luniors, Marcone and Speedy Al Alterio. A fast starting, solid moving, and veteran forward wall paved the way again and again for this ground-gaining backfield. At ends, Veterans Cicciarello and Ste! phenson, a 6' 4 Iunior, did a fine job of keeping opposing backs bottled-up, and were also excellent pass receivers. At tackles, standouts included big and rugged Armand Centofante and Frank lnnocenzi, a hard tackle, who was elected to lead the Blue and Gold for the l946 season. Starring as guards were Pat ludiciani, considered one of the best in Mahoning Valley, and foe Williams, a hard-charging lad. Backfield men from other teams were heard to say, lt's like hitting a brick-wall to tagle with one of these boys. At center, flawless passing was done all season by highly capable Pat Mangine. For the splendid reserve work, a lot of crcdit should be given to Bud Mills, sub tackle, A. Zarlengo, end, Frank Cicuto and Dick Iohnson, tackles, Steve Sontich, center, and Tony Stefano, quarterback. To honor the undefeated team of 1945 a banquet was held on November l4. This was to show appreciation for the team's fine work. Coach lohnson was toastmaster. Head-couch lohn Swigart, of Wooster College, was the principal speaker. After a splendid meal, Coach Swigart showed the squad films of Wooster football games. During the banquet Frank Inno- cenzi was elected Captain for the '46 season. One of l..owellville's best seasons ended but the team did not compile their remarkable record just by luck. It was the fact that they worked hard every day, from the 20th of Au- gust during hot scorching days till the night of the opening game. Coach Haines and Coach Iohnson sacrificed a lot of time and energy in building this team and the boys are grateful to them. - V' V -Y C W Page fifty five The Echo STATISTICS OF FOCTBALL PLAYERS CAPTAIN PAT IUDICIANI- Bananas 5' 5 l55ibs-GUARD.

An overflow crowd of 3,000 fans watched the locals upset a heavily favored Wildcat team. The following ,week we journeyed to Goshen, where we ran rough-side over a much weaker opponent, 49 - 0. The next game, which was also played away, was with the rival gridders from Bessemer. The game was thrilling, with the locals being victorious, 14 - 7. Lowellville displayed its power and ability to play heads up ball by defeating a tough aggregation from Fitch, l4 -0. This game practically decided the County Championship. We held four downs on the six inch line four times in the first half and then broke loose in the second half to win. In our first home game we defeated Brookfield, 24 -0.

IOHNSON, after graduating from Ohio University in 1929, started his career in Lowellville High School as head coach. His coaching ability has been derived from such famous coaches as Knutc Rockne of Notre Dame, Schmidt of Ohio State, Lambert of Purdue, and Hargold Anderson of Bowling Green. His success is due to his personal interest in his players and to his insistance that team cooperation forms the basis of a good ball club. During the last eighteen years, his many well spent hours have been rewarded by 302 victories to 112 defeats, seven County Cham- pionships and three State contests. llis personal life is much the same as that of any other out-cloors man in liking to fish. hunt, and play golf. lrwellville citizens are proud to say that they have one of the best Basketball Coaches in the district. BASKETBALL Lowellville High Blue and Gold Quintet under the brilliant leadership of Coach Iohnson, enjoyed one of its best seasons. This ball club won eighteen out of nineteen season games. With such veteran players as Krall, ludicicni, Stephenson, Slaven, Mangine, and Esarco, we romped to many victories. The only blot during the season was a three-point deficit suffered at the hands of Struthers early in the season. But this defeat was later avenged on the Struth- ers court. The team amassed a total of 1002 points during the regular season for an average of about 53 points a game, which is excellent for a Class B Team. Most of the scoring was done by Captain Krall, lo Io Stephenson, and Mangine. Our defensive stand-outs were Sla- Ven, ludiciani,and Esarco. The reserve team, which was coached by Mr. Haines and Iimmy Hall, a former star cager from Lowellville, also compiled a fine record. The record read: fourteen victories and five de- feats. The personnel of the team were: R. Williams and A. Finamore, forwards, Freshman L. Grist, center, and l. Crocetti and R. Fisher, guards, Outstanding games of the season were Bessemer, Sharpsville, Struthers and Springfield. The locads had rough going until a late stage in the Bessemer game but we came through by three points. In the game with Sharpsville, we displayed our use of the fast-break and defeated a team which was runner-up in thc Pennsylvania State finals last year The Struthers game was sweet revenge from the Blue-devils. An overflow crowd witnessed the game and watched the locals determinedly defeat Struthers in fine fashion. Our toughest county game was played against Springfield at the South High Field House to accomodate the many fans who were interested in these two county pace-setters. About 3,000 fans were on hand to see the game. After playing neck to neck for three and one-half quarters, Low- ellville spurtecl to win by a margin of eight points. A school record for scoring the most points in the game against New Waterford as the score board soared to 82. Thus another great feat was recorded in the basketball history at Lowellville. on Page sixty-one Tre Echo BASKETBALL CCon'linuedl COUNTY TOURNAMIENTS We entered the County Tournaments with county teams we sported the best record 118-15.

Page sixty-two The Ecko STATIQTICS OF 4 BASKETBALL PLAYERS M AC KRALL-FORWARD- CAPTAIN A wonderful floor man, rated one of the best players in the valley. A boy who was a dead shot from any angle on the court. Krall was also the leading scorer on the team. During his four years of basketball, he distinguished himself by being on the District Tournament Team at Kent in 1944 and 1946, and on the All-County Tournament Team in 1344, 1945, and l946, His high-scoring will never be forgotten by l-cal fans, sports writers, and coaches from all arouncl. GEORGE SLAVEN-GUARD . Slaven played his first year as a regular in playing an important role in the many victories piled up by our tccm. He was the fastest boy on the team and was our play-malgof. Whenever there was a loose ball in the mix-up on the flour. Slaven would always be the man to come up ' titr ith it. Gear- gie always showed up his bigger opponents by taking count- less rebounds. Because of his stellar ball playing, lie was picked on the All-County Tournament Team. B ANANASH IUDICIANI-GUARD A fine defensive man for all the height that he had. When assigned to a man, he guarded him like a hawk. He was a scrappy player and also did his part in scoring. ln the county playoffs against Poland, he scored ten consec- utive points in the last quarter that decided victory for us. Many high scorers of the district were held down to low point totals by this little dynamo of defense. PAT MANGINE-FORWARD Pat was our replacement for rangy Bud Mills, when the latter left for the service. Continuing in the footsteps of his famous uncles, the Coppolas', who starred for Lowellville from l93O to l943, he did his part in high-scoring. Although suffering from an ankle injury received in the county tour- nament, Pat managed to keep the pace of our fast-moving boys.
