@lcU6 ' ffyiAt Uf On September 1931, approximately 503 of us young workers started to broaden our blueprint of knowledge. Our group had various beginning camps, namely Bow¬ man, Brinkerhoff, Bushncll, Carpenter. Hedges, New¬ man, Prospect, West Fifth, and Western. For six long years we learned the fundamentals of the 3 R’s in these camps of construction under the direction of many foremen. After completing the first six years of our primary building instructions, a new contract was formed and blueprints were drawn for the secondary camps. Hedges and John Simpson. In these two sites further details of architectural knowledge were gained under the super¬ vision of Engineers Dotson and Rohledcr. Because of the behests of the State Inspector, the building John Simpson was condemned, and we were moved to the temporary site Warner Building, where the governing board ruled half-day sessions to be in order. For recre¬ ation during this time we, the workers, sponsored a skating parly affording enjoyment to all who attended. After the first year and a half we found that foun¬ dations had been laid and main constructions were under way for the two intermediate camps, the com¬ pletely new Johnny Applcsced and the re-established John Simpson. The board transferred us to these build¬ ings where we regularly and eagerly punched the time clocks each day for a half year before entering the different classes of trade and science for which we were destined. Organization of each camp took place and for ilie draftsman we chose Edward Fisher. Ronald Kern, James Sheads, and Ralph Tykodi for the Johnny Apple- seed Camp, and Janies Bierly, Louis Palmer, Mary Betty Hoffman and Arlecn Ridenour for Camp John Simpson. After three years of intensive training the board of trustees assigned -125 apprentices to the super structure of Mansfield Senior High for final craftsmanship. The first year in this exploratory camp, under the guidance of Chief Engineer Beer and Advisor Mann, was spent in adjusting our lives to the new surroundings. Here advanced courses in science, mathematics and vocational training were offered. During the experimental period the trainees were supervised by Edward Fisher, Ruth Blumcnschein, Arlcen Ridenour, and James Bierly, When the roll call was cheeked at the beginning of the second year there was a new group of officers, chief among them being G. C. Rohledcr who succeeded Jesse Beer; the others were Bob Harbaugh and his assistants Elsie Rochm, Marianne Jackson, and Ralph Tykodi, with Earl Mann remaining as our Advisor. Due to transferring to another camp Director Harbaugh was replaced by James Bierly. On January 9., 1912, a dance was held in the recreation center of our camp. As our last year approached we faced it with much enthusiasm in order to complete our final achievement. Once more an entire change of personnel look place, the new leaders being Robert Huber, foreman, James McClure, assistant foreman. Jack Eistnan. revenue of¬ ficer, and Ruth Ellen Hurst, recorder. Several times we laid aside our tools so that we could attend social activities which our camp presented; these activities included the “Janitor’s Jamboree and the Massillon Dance, the latter surpassing all previous financial records. Then the play “Our Town was presented in which many outstanding performances were given. Our camp proudly saw several of its workers achieve prominent places in contests given by the slate. As has been the custom we cleared the fields of the construction site to stage many successful football, basketball, and track events. Because of the war our divisions have been depleted as some of our co-workers have seen fit to leave our camps for those of Uncle Sam in order to aid him fight in the struggle for freedom. Now in this twentieth day of May, I9-J3, we, the June graduating class, are about to leave our completed achievement as we present this Class History to you.

the golf champ; DARROLL NICHOLS, the movie actor who was with JOAN SCHMUTZLER, the lovely new actress whom the famous director HOB BROOKER had just made a star. FLOYD WHITE, the World’s Champion Prize Fighter, was with a cute little blonde. Upon looking closer we recognized her to be ADELE KNAGGS. When we had finished our dinner and were about to leave, a large party of local celebrities came in. We knew CHARLES SAIMS, RUTH McKEE, BILLIE MAYBERRY, BOB WOLFGANG. BETTY PARROT and JAMES PETROFF. Flic rest were strangers — nice, though, and we had a notion to stick around and get acquainted. Who knows what might happen? Someone suggested a movie to round out a perfect day so we took the famous magnetic elevator to the 88th floor and entered the lobby of a sumptions theater owned by BILL PHELPS. MARCELL MAGLOTT was taking tickets and we saw FRANK RACHEL, TOM SHACHER and BOB SCHMALL in ushers uniforms. Upon reaching our scats we found DENNIS BERRY and EILEEN PEARCE sitting next to us holding hands. The feature was, “A Lone Wolf and His Companion . . , Did we say a Lone Wolf?” starring BILL SNOW¬ DEN as the Lone Wolf and LOUISE TURNER as his companion who opened the show by singing, Scrub Me Mamma with Your Barcfccl!” In the darkest corner of the balcony we see BOBBY BEE MAN trying to look over EILEEN BEMILLER ' S victory garden hat—(it ' s an old model — the war is over). Half-way down in the next aisle we sec ELAINE GIJIHER and EVELYN GRIFFI TH crying because the Lone Wolf isn ' t alone. Suddenly we hear a scream from the balcony. Looking up we see EVAJEAN EBY with her bee-bee gun aiming at ULA MAE PORTERFIELD. The show was soon over and we go to the 51st floor by way of the hydraulic escalator (as we said before this is a remarkable build¬ ing). This floor consists of Patent Offices, Copyright Agencies, etc. First, we see FLOYD BOWERS trying to persuade the manager. CARL ANDERSON, to grant him a patent on his new fabric, the beautiful??? dotlcss polkadot— it’s all one dot with a lot or polkas around it. Then in the wailing room, we see NEIL BUTLER and DANA CAVIN with a new car device for those unfortunate husbands whose wives take voice lessons. Neil invented one for the light and Dana one for the left. We see BILL CAVE playing with a tricky gadget for taking nickels from slot machines. Right beside him is JESSE CAIRNS with a new lensclcss spectacle. -JACOB BAUTZ conics in next with his brand new toast-scraper (he’s a newly-wed). WILLIAM DAUM also has a tricky gadget — a new streamlined rat trap. It seems lie’s devoted his life to this. Now we see ROBERT DIEHL and BOB CONSTANCE who are silting on lop of a mysterious looking box with a wicked gleam in their eye. They look so fierce that nobody dares to step near. But. they shouldn’t worry—we wouldn’t think of stealing their invention. MALCOLM CLICK and EUGENE IIETLER lead in (heir barklcss dog. which proves to be a wooden statue of Rin I in l in. In another corner we see PAUL FREER and JOSEPH HOFFER patiently waiting their turn by play¬ ing patty-cake. We see CARL LASH, star reporter, with notebook in hand trying to get the lowdown on the newest inventions. He is accompanied by DAVID FLOCKENZIER who can’t understand why he can’t take pictures. DEAN HAHN is trying out his new in¬ vention — the new water siphoncr for tlie public water fountains in the building. We leave these master-minds with their marvelous achievements hoping they will lie of some use to the future generation — poor future generation. Now we go up one floor to LUCILLE CALVER’S Beauty Center. First we see LUCILLE BEILSTEIN giving PEGGY BLACK a mud pack; BERTHA BAUDERER, by mistake, giving JANICE CARTER a Butch. BETTY ANDREWS, the pretty manicurist, is applying the new rainbow shade polish (which in¬ cludes all colors) to the pretty hands of KATHRYN BRANDT. Now we hear HELEN CARRICK yelling while GERTRUDE DIEHM and ELIZABET H HAGER give her a brisk rub-down. BETTY PFLEIDERER is doing the boring job of washing combs while COR R1NE PAYTON is seen selling MARJORIE RHINE- HART’S hair in peek-a-boo bangs. PHYLLIS SCHAAF is trying to give herself an egg shampoo but the egg beater got tangled in her hair. Now she has a wig. Once again we lake the magnetic elevator to the 325th floor where we visit the music department. First we stop by the string section and we see MRS. BUI) BANCROFT (ELEANOR WILGING) listening to her five children playing harps — directed by BILL SHUR- ANCE. Then we hear MIRIAM SAUDER and ELEANOR BRANDT singing Lillie Brown Jug.” We go now to one of the adjoining room where DORIS SCHMIDT is taking private tuba lessons from-- -while JOE HOFFER is silling in the corner squirting water into the tuba —out comes rippling rhythm. In another room we sec LILLIAN SCHNEI¬ DER, MARJORIE STAFFORD, and MARGARET KRAUS taking violin lessons from MARY MARGARE T LAKE. Site is leaching them to play He’s My Guy” — and we do mean Guy. Then we hear a quintette com¬ posed of BETTY STEER. MILDRED STONE, RUTH WAGNER, GLORIA WRIGHT and MARJORIE WYLLIE singing, ‘ If I Had the Wings of an Angel — it has been proved that ill is is impossible, however. In the record department we see BEULAH WESTMORE¬ LAND trying to sell broken victrola records to BEV¬ ERLY WILLBURN. JACKIE T IMMONS walks and says, Why not give them to the Leaders’ club? Next we see BON I HUMAN doing her job of tunin’ pianos. We hear from a distance BOB SHIPLEY singing an¬ chors Away.” He joined the navy ’way back in ‘13. LEROY WEIMER comes in selling sheet music to BETTY GREFS. Whose face do we sec adorning the cover? Nobody’s but EMILY HOLLAND, while TOM WOLFORD is trying to set a chemical formula to music — RUTH BREYMAN is helping him out by play¬ ing Minder, He Says.” At this point BARBARA GOFl-’ gives notice that it is closing lime and we leave the Yogi gazing in his little crystal ball intent upon some other future. With die little crystal ball singing, ‘TTl Never Smile Again,” we leave the Yogi’s hangout. The management asks the audience to please be lenient and to take these words of the immortal prophet with a bit of salt. After all, doesn’t salt go well with corn? Is Everybody Happy? YOGIS.
