c A A A T R C) N freshman Class Histciv The transition from elementary studies to high school duties had its diffi- culties at first, but the Freshman Class came to the top well represented in the Chorus, G. R.’s, Hand and last, but not least, the Scholarship Club. This club boasted six “Freshies” namely: Marilyn Trescott, Virginia Lazarony, Shirley Ostrander, Janice Jay red, Irma Hensel and Herbert Kubach. Our first and most exciting activity was a sleigh ride (the sleigh drawn by an “iron horse” held on January tenth. A theater party was held at the Shea Theater in Geneva on March first. Our Valentine Dance, one of the most successful dances of the year, fol- lowed the sleigh ride; it was held February 1(5. The class officers who launched our ship and brought us safely through our first year in high school were: Jim Paine, president ; Thomas McCormick, vice president; Joseph Berta, secretary; Margaret Lonser, treasurer; and Miss Mat lack and Miss Shimmon Class Advisors.

(yeniol Cl ass Plophecy Dear Diary: Last night was the tenth annual banquet of the Madison Memorial Higli School Class of 1940. I had such a wonderful time. It seemed so good to see all my classmates again. Our Master of Ceremonies, Dick Miller, who is teaching mathematics and physical edu- cation in Painesville, introduced the first number on the program. This was a delightful song by that sensational girl's trio composed of Gladys Brown, .Jane Harmon and Laura Jones. My! I was surprised to find the next number was a monologue by Lois Wellman, who was recently starred in the stage version of “Gone With the Wind,” co-starring Lloyd Ben- jamin and Milton Nichols. Lois is playing a return engagement at the Memorial Theater in Unionville, which is under the management of Carl Melville and Carroll Van Dyke. As the concluding number on the program we enjoyed group singing led by Bill Rose. His better half, Blanche, accompanied him at the piano. Bill and Blanche arc the new music supervisors of Lake County. After the banquet we danced to the delightful music of “Bob Wismer and his Musical Wizards.” Bob has been voted Waltz king of 1950! His latest recording written by Bill Jayred and featuring Ray Wickert on a clarinet, is the new hit sensation of the year. Our dancing is suddenly and rudely interrupted by a news flash. For a moment, we are breathless with anticipation, but to our relief, find that it is Bud Falk, that ace radio commen- tator. Bud announced that Franklin Lonser and Jerome Scott have completed their non- stop flight to Timbuctoo. Their plane, “Majestic”, was designed by Lynn Geimeier. Well, on with the dance! My partner told me Stephen Nash has moved into his new Agri- cultural Experiment Station on Hubbard Road. Stephen has sent John Visosky and Bob Lesh on a cross-country tour to give lectures on the conservation of natural resources. Oh! I almost forgot to mention those unique favors at the dinner table. They were min- iature candy models of old M. M. H. S. with the compliments of the Kuhn Candy Company. Jack Kuhn has taken in Eddie Mavko as his partner and has established a chain of stores in Lake County. The new building was such a striking contrast to the one we attended ten years ago. The construction was under the general supervision of Jack Graves, the architecture by Frank Sarazin. The new swimming pool was superb! Gloria Volante has taken over that department and is teaching swimming to the freshman and sophomore girls. Dora Brotzman certainly created a sensation modeling Freida Leimbach s latest crea- tion—“Television”. I believe this is the same gown which won the national artist and models contest last month. Later in the evening Dora told me of a new beauty salon in Geneva. Henrietta Krauter is managing it. I believe she said that Aili Rinta, Dora Lord and Aune Komssi were her head operators. Wouldn’t you know there would have to be a stag line? Where there is a stag line there is bound to be some mention of baseball. It seems Ray Eckerle is pitching for the Indians and doing a good job of it too. So far they have won five out of seven games. Madison now boasts a hospital. M. M. H. S. is well represented by three members of our class. Doris Kubach has recently been appointed by the board to serve as assistant to the head surgeon, and Ruth Sager has taken over the position of night supervisor. In the labora- tory we find our friend Rita Lazarony who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her research in chemistry. The attendance was complete except for two members, Dorothy Kaminerer and Betty Brainard who sailed last Saturday for Paris where they plan to get some new creations for Milady’s summer wardrobe. Well, all good things must come to an end, but we hope next year to meet again. —ELAINE PASCO twenty-one I i 1 ()
