In lhis eil- ition, you may think the trenil is towurfl isolation- alism. That is exactly opposite to what we really want. With new inventions always on the horizon. the whole earth is lzeeoming more anrl more vom- pact. We must learn, therefore, to unflerstanrl each other. our eustonzs. our thoughts. our people. In this eililion we wan! you to realize the neerl for a strong Pan-American Union. We must first build the Amerieas anrl then go out into the rest of the worlzl anzl bring unilerstaniling unzl comfort. We must not BUY our Pan-Amerifran lfnionism. but must trade with each other and thus support each other. just as the two illustrations on this page portray unflerstamling and proteetion, the Ameriean coun- tries must unite anfl thus afforrl protection to the Americans through a Pan-American Union. i S ,f2 ?.7 e 53 yt 5 XV ' Ci A r 7' Q . , ,, t f Q 5 .fl C7 6-A jr Vxfq J X if 2 AND OUR CLASS ADVISER MR.

True enough your educational background has been of a general nature. To youe-the rnenibers of the graduating class, there has hovered ever near through- out your entire four years that shadow of world-wide conflict.

To you- ufith such patriotic devotion and loyalty, may Cod watch over you and return you quick- ly and safely to your homes.

' ' I' ' SENIOR HISTORY September, 1941, one hundred and thirty-five freshmen opened the doors of a new world, one which they will never forget. This group of one hundred thirty-five was to be known as the Class of '45 g its patron, Mr. Thomas O. Weir, its president, Bobby Judge. In February, this group turned out in mass to attend the Carroll- ton-Minerva basketball games. After the games we went in a body to Arthur's for hamburgs and dancing. We were no longer individuals, but the Class of '45 working and cooperating together in everything we did. Our freshman party will long be remembered by all. Remember the shoe pile? Yes, it was even fun to lose your shoes.- The second half of our party was in the spring in the form of a track meet and pic- nic. Remember the contests and treasure hunt? The Class of '45 was on its way to success! September, 1942, one hundred thirty-one eager sophomores opened the doors again of this new world, to which they were becoming more accustomed. Early in the year, Mr. Weir was called to the Army, and Miss Ruth Scott became our patroness, and again Bobby Judge our president. The Class of '45 wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Weir, who assisted greatly in the installation of the class on a very successful high school career. . Our sophomore party in November was also a very outstanding one Do you recall playing Truth or Consequences? The Class of '45 was a step higher toward success! September, 1943, ninety-six excited juniors entered for a third year in our high school career. Our patroness was Miss Doris Norris, our patron, Mr. Robert Henry, our president, Robert Davis. Our first dance-January 15! An outstanding crowd of about four hundred fifty danced to the music of the Swingteens. Remember the novelty dances we had-the broom dance, the tag dance, and the Grand March? What an enjoyable evening! Thirteen hundred people came to our play, Double Exposure . Did they come to see Labus in a sarong or Cronin as the funny old con- stable? And remember our motto, One thousand tickets or bust , the dog tags we wore around our necks, and -the German Band? Yes, we were bringing fame to the Class of '45 ! Our second dance-April 22. No admission-everyone invited! Remember those hotdogs and cokes? We had a lot of fun that night! Our gay and colorful Circus-Prom !-The red and white tent, anlmals staring at you, especially those monkeys at the entrances, Mr. Eckert and Mr. Henry swinging on the trapeezes. Those delicious pork chops, girls in long, beautiful gowns dancing with nicely dressed boys under the big red and white tent-an evening to be remembered, 'The Class of '45 had advanced another step higher toward suc- cess. September, 1944, eighty-four competent seniors entered for the fourth and last year in our high school career. At the beginning of the year we were asked to take over the ad- vertising for the football games. How we worked to get ads and to sell tickets, but it was so much fun. ' Remember the night we sold twenty gallons of cider and thirty dozen doughnuts at our Halloween Dance? Masquerade-the clowns. the brownies, tramps, and the bride and groom. What a time we had If 5 f ?'f7 ' ' K 4 5 ' 'j. f .

We , the seniors, present the faculty a much earned rest. ' We, the seniors, present to whatever class will have him, one very' capable, but rather weary patron. We, the seniors, bequeath our good looks to the freshies. We, the staff, leave next year's staff a well-worn wastepaper bas- ket. We, the seniors, bequeath our intelligence to the sophomores. I, Paul Tomlinson, bequeath my athletic ability to Dale Carmen. I, Grace Linhart, bequeath my 98's to Dave Yingst. I, Esther Haynam, bequeath my bookkeeping ability to Ila June Betz. 1 I, Norma Coy, bequeath my dimples to Gwen Moss. I, Ralph Hahn, leave my blushing ability to Joe Davis. k I, Sally Yingst, bequeath my dark, sparkling eyes to Evelyn Star- ey. I, 'William Cronin, leave my physique to Dick Johnston. I, Leah Hyatt, bequeath my ability to get pink slips to Katie Ray. I, James Mitzel, leave my golden voice to Jerry Velick. I, Jean Hannen, leave my beautiful, ebony tresses to Barbara Moody. I, Howard Mobley, bequeath my editorship to Whatever unfortu- nate junior has it thrust upon him. We, the seniors, bequeath the juniors our superiority in all lines. We hereby appoint Mr. Henry as executor of this will, and direct him to pay all just debts outstanding against this, the senior class of 1945. trying to square dance and round dance on a slippery floor! The night ended too soon. An outstanding crowd came to see Miss Jimmy , our Senior Class play. This time they came to see Mitzel as the lovable and glamorous Miss Jimmy . Remember when he was caught in the girls' dormi- tory? A great success! December 23-the Christmas dance, the one for which we did no advertising and still made fifty dollars profit. We had to chuckle over that. Too rapidly the year was coming to a close and with itour high school days. Some of our members joined the services of our country, others are leaving soon. We are proud of these boys and wish them the best of luck. We, the members of the Class of '45 , are taking our places in another world, but we shall always remember and cherish our high school days. l -ld f 'T ' I X 25 ly' ' Tr If -. .

Hopes for a better season were dimmed when Bob Davis. who completed his high school subjects in summer school, entered Ohio State and Bruce Horsley left school to enli.st in the Navy. The Blue Raiders again proved to be a jinx when they edged out a 23-24 win over the Lions in the opener at Louisville. The first home opponents were the Trojans from Timken. Having too much height and speed, the Trojans won, 69-36. Missing many shots, the Lions were edged at Salineville 21-20. Minerva's loss column was run up to four straight by the fast-breaking Salem Quakers, 55-21. In their second home game, the Lions broke into the win column at the expense of Carrollton, 48-18. In a Tri-County game at Lisbon, the local five made it two in a row 34-25. Traveling to Sebring for a second Tri-County contest, the Lions lost 38-30. The third win of the season was over the Green Waves of Malvern on the home floor 33-25. The Tri-County champion Columbiana Clippers came to Minerva and clipped the Lions 70-25. Aft-er four losing years, Minerva gained revenge and defeated Louisville on the home floor in a thriller 34-33. Carrollton again was defeated in a close game on their floor 29-24. In an afternoon game before the student body, East Palestine handed the Lions her third Tri-County loss 53-42. Boardman administered the Lions' fourth Tri-County loss 59-43 on the home floor. The Lions journeyed to Malvern to break into the win column again, 35-24. The Lions, however, again bit the dust at the hands of the Canton Township Wild- cats, 67-40, on the local hardwood. Augusta was the last home opponent and Minerva closed the home season with a 39-25 triumph. The last regularly scheduled game was played on the Canton K of C Court with Canton St. John as the opponent. The Crusaders marched off with a 48-30 win. Minerva drew Canton Township as an opponent at the Youngstown tournament. February 27. Th-e boys played hard but could not match Canton Township's hard- shooting team and came up on the short end, 48-27. Prospects for next season are brighter .since there will be four returning lettermen. With these will be some promising juniors from the Reserve Team. Also to be con- sidered will be the members of a promising sophomore team. With the-se prospects, Minerva's outlook for the future is bright. The team appreciated the support of the student body and the town people. They also appreciated the time and effort of Mr. C. F. Eckert in his dual role of coach and faculty manager. i 8 jf f ff 48 gy, . 1 I lil. JOE DAVIS-Sophomore guard. Joe is one of the few who have had the honor to play varsity basketball in their sophomore year. This honor he rightly deserves. for not only tan he play one position on the team, but also he is considered one oi' the smoothest b.1ll handlers to play for Minerva in reeent years. 'Fliougli hindered some- what by his size. he is always in there and in the next two years will prove a valuable asset to the team. JACK DAVISON-Junior guard, earning his second letter this year. lle was one ot' the Ieanrs mainstays on defense and offense. Offensively he teamed with Yoder to form a fast break c-ombination that was very hard to stop. llefensively he was in there lighting all the time. We should see lots of .lack on next year's team. JACK YODER--Senior guard and Captain of the team. He sparkled on offense and defense and was the team's leading scorer. Because of his ability. he was often given the job of guarding the opposing team's leading si-orer. He was an inspired player and spurred the team on during the season. Not enough 1-an be said for .lake and it will be xery hard to find a replacement for him next year PAUL TOMLINSON--Senior forward. Although this was 'l'ommy's first year at varsity basketball. he proved himself outstanding by keeping vool and calm under fire whieh is all important to good basketball. Playing under the basket. he xi as able to get many rebounds which helped to roll up Lllinerva's svore. Whether on the offensive or defensive, he was always in there and will be greatly missed by the team next year. VAUGHN RHODES-Junior center. Throughout the year. Vaughn showed great signs of developing into a valuable basketball player. Playing under the basket, he has recovered many a rebound off the backboards for Minerva. XVith his height and this ye-ar's experience. we are expecting great things from him in the coming year. FRED BATES and RALPH HAHN, Managers of Basketball-Fred and Ralph are both seniors. Fred handled the varsity squad and his red-headed assistant, Ralph hand- led the reserves. These two boys need to be congratulated t'or their fi11e job during the basketball season. We realize the job is hard, hem-tit' and long. Many thanks go to you two young men, Fred and Ralph. GEORGE GIUNCA-Junior eenter playing his first year on the Varsity. George proved very valuable under the basket and out t'ront. Ile improved throughout the season in rebounding and developed into one of the best set shots on the team. Next year we should see George make use of his height and experience and become one of the top players 011 the team. 49 RESERVE BASKETBALL TEAM Back Row: Richard Huber, Bill Bush, jack Hudson, Corky Hawkins, Deun Myers.

They were joined by Richard Jones at the close of the football season. RESERVE BASKETBALL SCORES The Reserves opened their season with the records set hy last year's Reserves to shoot at. The team was a new one and was under tl1e guidance of a new coach, Mr. Robert Henry. Before the season's start, no one knew what to expect of these boys. The season's opener with Louisville saw the local Reserves lose a heartbreaker 28-27. Tin1ken's fast-moving Reserves won 43-18. The first win was at Salineville in a slow-moving game 17-13. Salem proved a little too much in edging out a 29-27 win. ' The following night the boys rebounded to heat Carrollton 39-20. Next was a win over Lishon 26-22. Sehring's Reserves proved little trouble as the Reserves won 23-11. With the first string seeing action little more than half a game, the Reserves hand- ed Malvern's Reserves a 52-19 licking. Columbiana suddenly snapped the string with a 37-26 win. Revenge was gained against the Louisville Reserves with a 30-20 win. At this point, Jake Tarhet was lost from the team. due to a case of mumps. loss was noticed during the rest of the season. Carrollton was again defeated 231-24. A hard fought game was lost to East Palestine 32-26. Boardman next handed the Reserves a 29-10 beating. The last win was registered at lVIalvern 34-9. Canton Township's sure-shooting Reserves triumphed 48-23. A fighting Augusta team defeated the Reserves in their last home game 33-24. His The Reserves from Canton St.. John's proved too much for the local Reserves, as they won 33-15 in the season finale. The team. although not having an entirely successful season, appreciated the sup port of the fans and tl1e time and effort spent by their coach, Mr. Robert Henry .QW Ars. , 1 x U r A' ' 5, 1 3 e ' 51 'eq- - -e ' W A1 !-1' 5,4 lm., Z, 5 ,gr .Q A ' 1 1 rf 1 -Y' ' 7 A .15 A fxvfia 1.

The play, directed by Miss june Stanley, took place in the residence hall at the exclusive Brier Mountain College for women. The actlon began when jimmy was forced by his fraternity brothers to enter the girls' dormitory in Search of a girl's dress to wear in an initiation stunt. At the same time, the girls were finding it difficult to get dates for their big dance of the year with anyone but brothers, cousins, and uncles, and when they captured jimmy, they decided to make his fraternity escort them to the prom, by holding jimmy for ransom. From then on things happened. The girls had a hard time keeping jim- my hidden. When the girls all fell for jimmy and tried to win him, jimmy tried to escape by posing as Miss jimmy in a girl's dress. When everything looked clear, the chief of police, who had a long record for catching kidnappers, appeared.

I ,llieve that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as well as challenging: for I know the joys 8.1111 discomforts of farm life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which. even in hours ot' discouragement. I can not deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I ran secure, and in the ability of organized farmers to serve our own and the public interest in marketing the product of our toil. I believe we can safeguard those rights against practices and policies that are unfair. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargainingg in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so-for others as well as my' selfg in less need for charity and III01'E of it when neededg in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that rural America can and will hold true to the best traditions in our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home aud'community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.

Eckert The Sportsman Club, organized during the school year of 1928-39, is composed of thirty-five boys who are interested in outdoor life. Their motto is Sportsmanship- Citizenship, Today and Tomorrow. The interests of the boys in the club are varied. Some of them are enthusiastic huntersg other are devotees of fly-casting, bait casting, or just ordinary fishing. Some enjoy campingg others hiking. Since all are lovers of nature, the club members are interested in the conservation of our natural resources, particularly wild life and game. Several interesting speakers were obtained for the monthly meetings of the club. As a project, the boys built squirrel houses for the park.
