Illiblllllll' FOREWORD The Memoir staff proudly presents to you-the students, faculty and friends of Middlebranch High School-this, the 1952 edition of the Memoir. In the years to come, we hope this Memoir will provide the source, pictorially and otherwise, for renewing again and again the memories of the hard work and good times we have all shared: the exams we didn't think we could make it through hut sur- prisingly did, the many times we came home from games proud when we won and still proud in those fewer games we lost, the dances, assemblies, usur- prise tests, hallway uactivitiesf, home work, and last, but best of all, the priceless friendships started here that will never end. And so, sadly, we turn the last pages of the chapter that Middlebranch High School has played in our lives. Page 4 We, the seniors of 1952, wish to dedicate this edition of the Memoir to our guiding and patient advisor, Mr. Lester Klay. It was with his untiring efforts and cooperation that We have reached the peak of our high school career. With this annual go our sincere appreciation and regard to this member of our faculty. LESTER KLAY Page 5 A vote of thanks goes to the Board of Education from the Middlebranch seniors. We wish to thank them for the outstanding job they have done for Middle-lnranch High School. They improved our typing room by installing three new typewriters. To make our home games more enjoyable, they furnished the school with some new bleachers. Again, the seniors of '52 say Hthank you for a job Well done. Board of Eclucpzzfion BACK ROW: Mr. L. H. Symes, Mr. Don Black.

But these twelve years dongt end a life- The journeylmust go on. Do you recall that first new day When you were marched to school? Those first few words the teacher said, '60bey the Golden Rulev? Then carne the second grade and third, The years passed swiftly by. It wasn't long till you found yourself Enrolled at Middlebranch High. And now we come to that final day When we don our caps and gowns To enter a life that is all our own, And the possibilities hold no bounds Some may travel far and wide, Some enter the hall of fame, But if we keep our faith in Cod, Proud will be our name. But if you want to reminisce You possess the golden keys To open wide the chest that holds Those precious memories.

Class Pr Taking time to relax after a grueling day at the television studio, I chanced to think about the class of 1952 and that little town of Middle- branch. Calling my sponsors, I informed them that I was taking a week's vacation to visit my alma mater and look up my old classmates. As I arrived in Middlebranch, my first thought was which classmate will I see first. I looked around and there was Bill Chidsey. He informed me that, at the moment, he was experimenting with a skinless potato which would save peeling. I found out that Janet Spall was winning great acclaim as the worldis largest midget. Bill also told me that it would be worthwhile to visit the Art Institute and view the paintings of Norma jean Hendershot. Stopping in at the restaurant, I spied Helen Drenta eating her lunch. She remarked that she held the world's record for taking dictation. Helen said that she planned to attend the opera at the auditorium that evening. The opera, en- titled Rosemary and Charliette, was starring two of our classmates, Rose Cavalier and Chuck Leach. 1 was told that Clyde Shorb had written the lyrics. I bid Helen farewell and continued my search. Deciding to stop at the Diamond Portland Cement Company, I discovered that John Amato was heading the labor union there. He gave me information concerning a few of the boys.,' Continued Section 3--Howard Dyer passes his mechani- cal abilities to Lindall Shaffer.

Section 2-joe Fawver passes his strength to Darrell Hunt. Section 3-John Swanson wills his passing arm to Lawrence Werstler. Section 4-jack Weirich's keen hunting sense is left to those who can get out of school to hunt. Section 5-jack Saunders wills his deep voice to Archie Germanoff. opbecy Linn Rinehart had taken over all sports an- nouncing on WHBC. Tony Pastore has en- larged his poultry ranch in California to cover 500 acres. Jim Grundy is doing commendable work as head cartoonist for Dick Tracy. Bring 'em back dead Burfield is in Africa leading a large exploration into the wilds of the con- tinent. It seems Glenn Kamp is demanding more money for his pitching abilities on the Middle- branch Crows' baseball team. I bid john fare- well and stepped outside. Something whizzed by meg I was practically knocked off my feet. This was none other than Pat Day, who had just received acclaim as the first woman to finish in the 500. It seems she was showing Carolyn Cronin just how to handle a car. They stopped to chat for a few minutes and Carolyn stated that she had just arrived in town after having been on a world tour with her Campfire girls. Pat told me that Howard Dyer had engineered her car and was thinking of opening a garage to build and re- pair souped-up cars. They took off in a cloud of dust and I was left alone with my thoughts. There and then I decided to visit the mayor of the town, none other than Jack Evans. As I walked into the office, he was on the phone discussing a problem with jack Saunders, presi- dent of the Big Wheel Trucking Company. He waved me into a chair and proceeded to tell me a few of his problems. It seems there was a Page 22 Class Prophecy-Continued little trouble with the Green Cheese factory in Middlebranch. John Swanson, the owner, was not cooperating with the city ordinances. Jack had just refused an audience to Larry Feller, proprietor of Feller Athletic Goods. It seems his merchandise buyer, Kay Mann, was not re- ceiving the privileges that had been promised her by the city. At the end of our talk, Jack informed me that he was thinking of quitting politics. They're dirty, he stated. Out on the street again, a Cadillac pulled up beside me. In it were Earl Wolfe and Bob Psolla. They had combined efforts and were operating their own 8,000-acre farm in Texas and, as was obvious, were being paid handsome dividends. They asked if I would care to attend the circus with them. It seems that Stanley Wasik was starring in a new high-wire act with Dingling Brothers. We picked up Bill Holibaugh, who was feeling good since he had finally perfected a process for growing two-tone roses. As we watched the performance, we were sinking our teeth into delicious golden popcorn, when one of my silver fillings came out. In no time at all I had developed a severe toothache. They took me to the eminent dentist in town. As I walked into the dentist's office, I dis- covered it was none other than another class- mate, Larry Williams. As he drilled and pried, he gave me information concerning a few more members of the class. He had first been to Alaska and stayed at the Weaver Resort. Mary Ann Weaver told him that this past year had set a record for visitors. Joe Fawver had be- come the first man to swim the English back- stroke but was now laid up with a broken back. He informed me that Joe was at the new hos- pital in Middlebranch. Helen Henning had just been appointed night nurse there, and reports had been heard that patients had been kept up too late at night. Larry told me that Buzzy Bob McCoy and his jazzy and blues renditions were being talked about all over New Orleans, and proceeded to show me a few beats with a drill. I bid him farewell and left with a sore mouth. My next thought was the new university. The dean happened to be Norma Jean Schmucker, and as I talked to her I noticed that her secre- tary was Pat Kopache. Jean Karns walked into the office and complained that the Home Eco- nomics department did not have enough sewing machines. While I was there, Ronald Stinson, the coach of the Middie Bulldogs, stalked into the office and asked for more he-men on the team. After arranging with Norma Jean to at- tend the grand premier of Margaret Lewis, piano star, I left the dean with her headaches and decided to find the rest of the members of the class. I needed to look no further. I saw Joanne Nahay coming down the street. Joanne had taken over Louella's column since the column- ist's retirement. In a whiz I was brought up- to-date on the accomplishments of my class- mates. Named to the Roller Derby Hall of Fame last month was Donna Nemethy. Ann Gavlik is now in Paris modeling Robert Werst- ler's stylish hats made from bakery products. Miss America CSue Lehnerb is now touring Ha- vana, Cuba. Beryl Murphy is in England working at Scotland Yard as a handwriting analyst. Marion Swinehart is with her as body- guard and assistant. Raymond Sparks CRay Parksb has women fainting in the aisles over his newest release, entitled WOW. Head make- up director at his studio is Dorothy Herman. I discovered that Bill Schwab is racing hot-rods on the Diamondville Speedway. Joanne then excused herself, since it was almost time for her radio program. There were still a few more classmates. I decided to pay a visit to Betty Heim on her day off. She is holding a job in the laboratory of Shocking Products. Betty was telling me about two of our girls who were making quite a name for themselves. Loretta Tidrick is in Sweden participating in the '62 Olympic Games. At sea is Marlene Petro, the only woman seafarer in the world. The phone rang and Betty said it was the taxidermist, Jack Weirich, who just wanted to inform her that her stuffed owl was ready. Betty Stockburger and her husband, a prosperous shipbuilder, came to visit and we talked awhile, and then I decided it was time to leave. After thinking it over, I have decided on this one fact. I will take my television show with all its complications any day in prefer- ence to trying to keep up with the class of 1952. Page 2 3 Class History September 1948 marked the beginning of our high school days. Mr. Snode was the class ad- visor. After being properly initiated by the sophomores, we got down to work and elected our class officers: jack Evans, president, john Amato, vice-president, Norma jean Schmucker, secretary, and Linn Rinehart, treasurer. jack Evans was active in basketball. Kay Mann, Helen Henning, Norma jean Schmucker, and Ray Parks landed parts in the all-high school play. During our sophomore year, Mr. Snode and Miss Cordray guided us as advisors. We were getting accustomed to high school life and, as a result, we were more active in clubs and other activities. jack Evans and Tony Pastore received football letters and were on the Sectional and Stark County Co-Championship team. Sue Leh- ner and Helen Henning were successful in de- bate. Kay Mann and Sue Lehner were cast in the all-high school play. janet Spall was se- lected as queen attendant. Our class officers were: president, Norma jean Schmucker, vice- president, Linn Rinehart, secretary, Kay Mann, and treasurer, john Amato. Prom year!! Almost everything we did our junior year was aimed at the prom, our theme being Oriental Gardensf' Class officers in this important year were: president, Norma jean Schmucker, vice-president, Bob McCoy, secre- tary, Kay Mann, and treasurer, Tony Pastore. On the undefeated Stark County Championship team we had five active boys: Jack Evans, john Swanson, Chuck Leach, John Amato, and Tony Pastore. Tony was selected for the All-county dream team. Carolyn Cronin received the Girls' State Award. Sue Lehner and Kay Mann were chosen as cheerleaders, with Helen Drenta and Betty Heim getting the majorette positions. Sue Lehner, Helen Henning, john Amato, and John Swanson were on the varsity debate team that placed third in the county. jack Evans, Sue Lehner, Helen Henning, Kay Mann, and jack Saunders were cast in the high school play. Dorothy Herman was selected as queen attend- ant. C. J. Albrecht and Miss Crum did a com- mendable job as advisors. And now we have come to the end of our road .... Praise goes to Mr. Klay, our patient senior advisor, and to our capable class officers: Norma J. Schmucker, president, Linn Rinehart, vice-president, Kay Mann, secretary, and Helen Henning, treasurer. Eleven boys were awarded football letters and four of these were placed on the County All-Star team: jack Evans, john Amato, Ronald Stinson, and Tony Pastore. Tony also received a second-string berth on the All- Ohio team. Our queen was the lovely Sue Lehner and her attendant was Dorothy Herman. The seniors worked hard on their senior play, en- titled Fixit Incorporated. Helen Henning was named editor-in-chief of the Memoir, and Norma Jean Schmucker was chosen to head the Facet staff .... Thus we have recorded some of the outstanding things done in our short, four-year stay at M. H. S. We are ending our high school days, but shall never end the memories of one of the happiest times of our lives. Page 24 fw ,W ff ce rx e II ff! f Pb f Nx X fX g xii- X ix? LLNDERST Wi ,f ,f A gm. ff?

The activities of the junior class got under way when the class president, James Senter, appointed Charles Riffle as candy chairman. Candy and potato chips were sold by the juniors during each noon hour and at the games. Henry Downey, Dave Gibson, Glenn Humbert, and Bill Immel received letters in the pigskin game. Jackie Dine was chosen as queen attendant. Seen at the head of the band were Barbara Sollie as drum majorette and Helen Shupe, Beverly Bentz, and Mary Ann Brower as majorettes. The cheering at the games was led by Myrna Mears and Virginia Chamberlain. Goodbye, juniors, we hope you have all the success in the world. Page 26 Sopbomores The smiling faces of the sophomores greeted us on the first day of school. Some of the boys could be seen working on the football field after school. Bill Ruch obtained recognition by receiving a letter in football. Charles Drenta took the honor of class presidency. For the second time, Sue Lenhart was the choice of the class as queen attendant. The sophs also proved that they had an eye for business. They sold peanuts and decals in competition for some of that green folding stuff-called money. Delnor Neighbor and Jim Hendershot took the affirmative case in the debate team. So long, sophs, here's wishing you the best of everything.

Senior Play The senior play, Fixit Incorporated, was presented November 9, 1951, after long weeks of tedious practice. It centered around Dave Thompson and Froggy Edwards, who were just out of college and jobs. In order to make money they opened an office and called themselves Fixit Incorporated. Against their better judgment, the boys hired a secretary, Alice Gray, and the three of them started out to fix every- thingf' Helen Duval, Dave's fiancee, came in as honorary first vice president. Their first customers were the Harts, who had a bad case of henpecked husband on their hands. The play reached a point of hilarity when the fixers were misunderstood by Artis Thorpe in regard to what they were going to do with spoiled Rosemary Lawrence.

J im Grundy Page 40 Variety Show The evening of May 4, 1951, was the climax of weeks of work for the music department at M. H. S. The curtain went up on Collegiate Capers, a musical written by members of the chorus and cast. The story centered around a show that was being presented at Colbert College, and the troubles aroused when one of the leads failed a course. Everything worked out, and the last act was the show itself. To Miss Hull and the others goes a bouquet for a job well done.

Captain Tony Pastore, an outstanding offensive and defensive man, was placed at center on the second team All-Ohio selections by various sportswriters throughout the state. Tony played center for two years before switching to halfback his senior year. Tony also was among the five men to receive All- County honors in a list including Jack Evans, John Amato, Ronald Stinson, seniors, and Dave Gibson, a junior. Our own Coach Albrecht brought further honor to our school by being chosen Class B coach for the annual North-South football game held in Akron during the summer.
