This year they built a new work shop, which was needed badly, and purchased two new school buses to transport the children to and from school.

We've had so much fun in the past years. Here is a short review of our high school days. Four short years ago we were scared freshmen, with Miss Ream as our advisor. Wayne Bircher was elected president: Harry Orr, vice president: loan Washburn, secretary: Doris Humbert, treasurer: Celesta Campanelli and Rita Schell, chapel repre- sentatives. As usual, we had to go through initiation. which lasted three days, but we survived after the party. Our class had one cheerleader, Ioan Wash- burn, and two majorettes-Helen Grant and Mar- garet Moser. Shirley Boydelatour was chosen to represent our class as Queen's attendant. Ann Boville, Charlene Ball, Hazel Eddleman, Margaret Bauman, and Ann Cain received scholarship medals. Miss Ream and Mr. Cheney were our advisors during our sophomore year. Bill Wearstler was the president of our class: Harry Orr, vice president: Bette Aman, secretary: Eleanor Manoff, treasurer: Melvin Royer ,chapel representative. After initiating the freshies, we gave them a party. Later in the year we had a gay class party. This year Ioan Washburn was our very charming attendant at the Homecoming game. Four members of our class- Charlene Ball, Ann Cain, Hazel Eddleman, and Celesta Campanelli-earned scholarship medals. Soon our junior year was upon us. We were very busy throughout the year, but had loads of fun. Miss Sutherland and Mr. Robinson were advisors. Our officers were as follows: Orlando Cavalier, presi- dent: Ioan Washburn, vice president: Helen Grant, secretary: Mary Lou Fall, treasurer: Alda Guarnerie, chapel representative: Cloyd LeMay, candy chair- man. We worked hard, selling candy, pencils, hot dogs, and various other items, in order to pay for the Iunior-Senior Prom twhich we thought was topsl. Our class was well represented by this time in various fields. Helen Grant was chosen to be drum major of the band: Alda Guarnerie, Margaret Moser, and Stella Giannetti were three of our majorettes. Doris Humbert, Ioan Washburn, Dorothy Iervis, and Shirley Boydelatour were our four peppy cheer- leaders. Orlando Cavalier and Lee Kyser did well in football, while Orlando and Melvin Royer repre- sented our class in basketball. Ioan Washburn was Queen's attendant. Hazel Eddleman, Celesta Cam- panelli, and Ann Cain earned medals again this year. Before we knew it, we were walking the last mile. Our senior year was also busy, but we had plenty of fun, which we'll always remember. Mr. Snode was our class advisor. We elected Mary Lou Fall as president: Charlene Ball, vice president: Ann Cain, secretary: Nancy Swanberry, treasurer: and Celesta Campanelli, chapel represntative. To raise some badly-needed money we sold Christmas cards and sponsored a Christmas dance, which was quite a success. Later we sold Iello lby the cartonl. Cloyd LeMay was elected editor of the Mid-Hi News. Rita Schell was chosen editor of our Memoir. This year Ioan Washburn was elected Queen of the Diamonds' Football Follies, and Dorothy Iervis was her at- tendant. April 1 and 2 we presented a play, Best Foot Forward. We'll long remember Nancy Swan- berry as the movie star Gale loy, and Lindy Cav- alier, acting as Bud. Ann Cain, Celesta Campanelli, and Hazel Eddleman received medals. Our school days were put to a beautiful end by the Prom the juniors had for us May 15, and then twenty-eight members of the class went on a cruise to Detroit.

A hand of thanks goes to our band director, Mr. Aitken, who has improved our band a great deal. The band performed at the Stark County Fair and at all our football games, besides playing for spring festivals and band concert. We were quite honored to have Helen Grant for our drum major. Iudy Lehr, Anita Cavalier, Stella Giannetti and Alda Guarnerie were our majorettes. New band uniforms were received late in March and we'll always be proud of the band wearing those classy outfits. We ORCHESTRA The orchestra was forced to take a back seat this year, due to the fact that Mr. Aitken, wishing to build a band that Middlebranch could be proud of, gave the band top priority in the matter of finding and developing talent. It is Mr. Aitken's intention to develop stringed instrumentalists, Without which an orchestra cannot exist-but only after our band can rival any Class B Band in the county. In the only appearance of the orchestra this year, a sextet of eighth and ninth graders was selected , 6 1 1 I.

The Middlebranch eleven, coached by Iohn Albrecht and Lester Klay, had a very tough football season due to their lack of experience and the loss of eight lettermen. The Diamonds finished the season fifth in the County Class B standings with a record of three wins and seven setbacks. Two of the setbacks were inflicted by Springfield Township and North Canton. All in all, the boys showed great promise that by next year we will have a star team.

They ended up with a league record of ten wins and two losses. Middlebranch's fighting five started the year with four lettermen who made up the team which went farther in tournament play than any other team in the history of Middlebranch High School. The squad was very successful in the Stark County tournament by coming back in the final stanza to pull three games out of the fire. They were victorious over Navarre, East Canton, and Waynesburg in the tournament for the Stark County Class B championship. Next they went on to compete for the Sectional trophy. Being victorious over Hudson and Kent Roosevelt gave them this trophy and spurred them on to battle. Wins over North Lima and Savannah on the same floor-Kent State Wills Gym-made them District Co-champs. They traveled to Youngstown and fell at the hands of Midvale, a very superb quintet. The players deserve very special recognition and congratulations for adding three beautiful trophies to our school's collection.
