As you proceed through our town, we, the inhabit- ants of Crescent City, are sure you will agree that, although it may not be the best town in the world, it is surely a most unique and pleasant one. Supt. H. P. Wisman may be likened to the city manager of Crescent City since he presides over all that happens here while the Board of Education acts as the Board of Supervisors. The faculty serves as the city council. The seniors are the suave capitalists who have earned their million and are enjoying it. The juniors are middle class families who are reason- ably secure in their prefabricated homes, while the sophomores, victims of the housing shortage, are temporarily housed in quonset huts. The freshmen are merrily bouncing along the happy roadway of high school life in their house trailers. Many types of people are to be found in Crescent City, busily engaged in civic and social affairs. 1 it MISS JEAN MOWLS Director of Public Welfare With deep admiration and appreciation, we, the class of 648, wish to dedicate this 1948 Crescent to Miss lean Mowls. For the past three years, she has given of her time and advice, her ingenuity and patience, so that our class might achieve in some measure the success for which we have aimed. She will long be remembered as the understand- ing person who helped to make our school life the most memorable period in our lives. As Director of Public Welfare, she occupies an important position in our City Hall. 5 CRESCENT CITY DIRECTCRY Executive Department - - Page 7 Classes ------------ Page 15 Sports ------ ---- P age 43 Activities ------ - - - Page 59 School Life - - - ---- Page Sl Advertising - - - ---- Page 92 6 10:50 Q gif 103 U 'ova Iva THEN V X E: ' XX : : X ff , I Oscar Shaw, clerkg H.

Board of Supervisors The Board of Education wishes to extend congratulations to the Graduating class of 1948, on their many achievements during the past four years. We also want to thank the Editor and staff for the pre- paration of this High School Annual. This annual is an almost startling record of the varied activites that make up your High School. The work that goes into such a venture can hardly be estimated by anyone who has not had some exper- ience in preparing such an Annual. These extra-curricular activities have a great educational value, and when properly regulated by the individual, are a proper part of any students development. It is our hope that you will carry with you in your future endeavors the knowledge and experience gained from your High School education and in this manner accept the chall- enge of building a Free and Democratic World.

P. Wisman, Miss Ruth Nicholson, and Rev. and Mrs. F. L. Trubee. Among other subjects, he has taken a special course in physical education which includes exercises and therapeutics. Having pursued a classical course, Stanley is especially interested in language, art, and history. Although limited in physical activity, he is chiefly interested in sports, which he follows consistently by newspaper and radio. He is in constant contact with the Cleveland Indians. He has avidly followed all Minerva High School athletics for which he has kept a complete scrapbook. A member of the Commando club, he enjoy-s camping and cabin life. He is interested in model building, especially model planes. Nature study is another hobby. Stanley has a complete set of drums and is a member of a neighborhood orchestra. Although confined to his home for the most part, he has many friends, among whom are adults as well as high school pupils. RICHARD BARNHART-A veteran of Wo1'ld War II, Richard Barnhart entered Minerva High School in September 1940, where he pursued a general course. While enrolled in high school the first three and a half years, Richard played basketball, one year with the reserves, two on the varsity squad. I-le was a member of the footrball team in his third year. He belonged to the sportsman club. Richard enlisted in the U. S. Navy in January of 1944 and took his Boot training at Great Lakes, Illinois, where he also attended Gunners Mate school for thirteen weeks, achieving the rating of Gunner's Mate, Second Class. From July 1944 until May 1946, he did sea duty on the U. S, Destroyer D. M. Following his discharge from the Navy, on November 15. 1946 he married Eunice Wolfe, a graduate in the class of '44, BILL MORGAN-With sandy colored hair, freckles and a smiling face Bill Morgan stepped into his role as a senior of M.H.S. this year. Bill hails from Canton Lincoln where he was enrolled in a Scientific course. Although his school activities have been limited to the Sportsman Club, his school spirit has been high and he is an all-round good fellow. KERMIT LEWIS-Junior, enrolled in the classical course, reached senior status in midyear. He has limited his school activities to the Music department, having taken part in the Operetta and Glee Club his second year and played in the orchestra three years. SHIRLEY TAYLOR-Shirley left the 1'3.llkS of the seniors early in the year to become the Wife of Melvin Keister, Class of '47.

Shirley majored in homemaking, English, and social science, having earned a secretarial minor. 26 Senior Class History In the fall of 1944, 128 travelers entered Crescent City to make homes for themselves. Remember the early days of our residence? As our first civic duty, we elected James Shafferour chief official. We wandered around through the city on various roadways and, with the help of the older citizens and the law officers, usually reached our destinations. In cele- bration of our one-year's stay in our new surroundings, we had our first taste of real society at the party held in the Civic Auditorium near the end of our freshman year. During this time, our affairs were capably directed by Miss Dorothy Beckman. After our summer vacations, we returned to Crescent City. By this time we were getting better accustomed to our present way of life. Many from our number were gaining prominence and were elected to important civil offices. Our social life also gained momentum. A kiddie's party was held in the Civic Auditorium in December and a skating party was held at Guthrie's skating rink the latter part of March. During our third year of residence in Crescent City, we vied with the class of '47 for the social, scholastic. and athletic leadership of our city. Our population had now been reduced to 96, but we still carried on our duties well and maintained our prominence. This year we had as our main task earning enough money to fete the older citizens of our community who were taking their residence elsewhere. Money was earned by selling hot dogs and soft drinks at football and basketball games. Refreshments were also sold during noon hours. Many fond memories remain of the purchase of our class rings, of dances, and of the play, Spring Fever, which We presented on December 7. The junior-senior banquet and prom, held in the Civic Auditorium on May 16, was a fitting finale to an enjoyable and successful year. As we left Crescent City for our summer vacations, all thoughts were centered on the future year, the final year of our residence in this community. We, as the elite of Crescent City, now took up our residence in the mansions of 48th Avenue. James Shaffer was elected our civil leader for the fourth consecutive year. Miss Jean Mowls accepted the duty of being our council representative for the third year. As was fitting to our prominent position, we controlled the community social life by sponsoring such affairs as dances. assemblies, and pep rallies. Acting, another of our abilities, was revealed again at the presentation of the play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. This comedy was produced in the Civic Auditorium on April 30. Miss Edytha Trickett, city dramatics coach, ably directed this comedy. The 49th Streetersu honored the residents of 48th Avenue at the junior-senior banquet and prom. This gala social function was held in the Civic Auditorium on May 28. Members of the elite group journeyed to Detroit from Cleveland as their last fling together before their ranks were broken on June 3.

Sophomore Class History 93 of the 116 original members of precinct 50 of Crescent City returned to the old home town after their summer vacations. Some of the charter members of the city had found their return trip too rough or had taken residence elsewhere. Although rather unfamiliar with the social life of Crescent City, these one-year residents gained social prominence by entertaining at Guthrie's skating rink on February 20. These residents plan to remain in Crescent City and eventually to control the leadership, social life, and service program of our city. 38 W ... .4 Standing: Richard Conn, Thomas Rush, Miss Olive Allnion, Glenna Wagner, Edward Davison Seated: Myrl Carson, Joan Brown Freshman Class Officers President i s ,, Richard Conn Vice President Edward Davison Secretary 7 Glenna Wagiiei' Treasurer Thomas Bush Reporter i Myrl Carson Historian ,,e,, ,Ioan Brown Advisor , Miss Olive Allmon MOTTO Today we follow' tomorrow We lead 7 ' ,,i FLoWER - Red Carnation A 9 ! -,if ' 39 Back Row: William Dieringer, Gene Hiner, Lester McCully, Robert Frank, Walter Mobley, William Brieske, Robert Unkefer, Mark Phillips, Robert Heacox, Wendell Hahn, Donald Burns.

Freshman Class History On September 8, 127 freshmen rattled into Crescent City on Route , 51. These newcomers found the road unfamiliar, but were ably directed by a loyal Crescent City citizen, Miss Olive Allmon. These tourists soon took up their abode in Crescent City and elected i Richard Conn their chief official. 40 The main social event of the year was the party held at Guthrie's skating rink on March 5. These new residents of Crescent City showed that they will make capable social leaders in the future. These Wanderers plan to settle in Crescent City and to make permanent places for themselves as have done the older citizens of this city.

Being head coach, he directed the instructions of his assistants: Mr. Charles Catanese, veteran line coach, and Mr. Harold Morrow, new end coach. These coaches did their best with what material we had in perfecting both football and basketball, their hours and fellowship and in- struction, never to be forgotten. Athletic Manager Mr. Alexander Kon- iecko is new on the M.H.S. faculty, taking the reins of Mr. Howard Evans former athletic manager. Much praise must go to him for doing his best to promote athletics in M.H.S. and for his interest in get- ting the public to attend the games.

FRANK MIZER lSenior tacklel wears his second M this year as a sign of the hard blocking and tackling he did on the gridiron. He put every ounce of his nearly two hundred pounds to work in every garne, espe- cially at Louisville where het and Billi- ter were concentrating their blocking on Menege. Frankie cou1dn't boast of speed nor could he be easily seen in the midst of the line but you always knew he was there trying to bring glory once again to M. H. S. He is another senior veteran who will be missed from the lineup next season. Frankie Athletics JOHN HEARN lsenior guardj 'A-Iohnny who was dubbed a little kidl' last year came back this season to receive his second letter award, and to prove that he was bigger and had more fight than most others. A scrapper and hard hitting lineman, johnny was always to be found in the thick of things breaking up oncoming opposition. Always playing his hardest johnny tried his best to bring honor to his Alma Mater, and he will always be remembered by the spirit at which he played the game. He is another senior who will be missed greatly next year. JOHN BILLITER tSenior guardj johnny earned his second this year playing an entirely new posi- tion. His blocking and breaking up of offensive plays was discovered in spring practice and he was immediately moved to guard where he played at his best through the whole season. johnny was always in the thick of battle, forever doing his best and play- ing his hardest for his Alma Mater. His position will be a hard one to fill next season for he has played his last for M. H. S. He was given Honor- able Mention on the Stark County and Tri-County teams. hash mark RONALD PINKERTON fSenior hackh Pinkey earned his second varsity letter this year, having played end in the previous season. His punting and passing knacks soon moved him to fullback position where he could be counted upon continually to plunge through the opposing line and pick up the needed yardage. This power was displayed in the Lis- bon game where he took the ball on the same play many times in succession and set up the only touchdown of the game. Pinkey could always be counted upon to punt out of the danger area and rifle the ball to an open pass receiver. He also will be absent from sports acti- vities next year, making another posi- tion unfilled. Pinkerton was also rated on the Tri-County third team. JAMES SHAFFER fSenior end! This was -Iim's first year to make the varsity and he proved that he was one of the first eleven by his courage to get into the game. Although he was handicapped by in- jur.es throughout the season, he never gave up on the gridiron. He was al- ways in there battling, even if injured. jim played his best at Dover St. joseph and will be greatly missed next year. Lettermen ROBERT GRUNDER fSenior backl Captain Bob merited his second var- sity lVl this season, playing at his best at all times. He was continually breaking up of- fensive plays before they were develop- ed and could always be counted upon to take a lineman out of a play when necessary. Bob was chosen, by popular votes the season captain to make decisions in the Louisv,lle game, and it was there that his wise decisions gave Minerva many advantages which held the Blue Raiders at bay. He will not be back to wear the red and gray another season. l STANLEY SIMMS Uunior centerl Simmie came back again this season to earn his second varsity letter as center. No man on the team could quite equal the way in which he rifled the ball into the hands of a waiting back, and the spirited way in which he broke up offensive plays. ln practice Simms was always the first in finishing his laps and could always make the blocking machine give the most when he hit it. His desire to be in the midst of battle and his aggressive spirit will be a great asset to the team next year. 46 JOE ELLIOTT ISenior hack! joe earned his first letter this year, not because he couldn't make the grade before, but because he received a bad arm injury in a previous season. joe's aggressive spirit was a spirit which could not be beat and it stood out especially in the Lisbon game when, in the closing seconds, he barreled through the Lisbon line for the only score of the gamet Also at Louisville, joe's undaunted spirit of winning stood out as he picked up a kickoff and head- ed up the gridiron only to be laid out by the Blue Raiders' hard hitting backs. joe's ability to run and punt equally well will be greatly missed next season. ROBERT JENKINS fJunior endl Rob was named on the Tri-County third team this season, a berth which was earned by him over and over again. This was Bob's second year with the first eleven and experience gained last season was a valuable ass-et to his playing this year. Bob was as hard hitting a man on the team as there was, many times knocking two or three man interference down so that the linebackers could drop the ball carrier, also catching unwary passers before they could let the ball go, causing much loss of yardage. He could catch passes with an ease that gained many yards for Minerva. Bob should be even more valuable to the team next year. KENNETH MICK Llunior guardj Ken was rewarded with his first letter this season. He substituted most or the games, but when he moved into the line, things really happened. Another of the 'corn-fed' boys of Columbiana County, he was no small object to move, nor was it too easy to put him out of a play. He played well at both offense and defense and will benefit the team greatly in '48. DALE HINER Uunior tackle, Otto earned a position on the first team for the second season, by his versatile playiwg. He could have as many as three men trying to block him and would incessantly manage to keep on his feet to break up any op- posing play. Otto would be seen many times breaking through and rushing an unwary passer. More great things may be expected from him next year. Lettermen CHARLES HILL lJunior backl Chuck worked hard to gather suffi- cient quarters this season for his first letter in football. He has in h.s possession a knack for playing the game hard and all the way through as did his dad who was an Nl. H. S. star in past years. His ability to pass and hand the ball off on quick openers was the very same ability wh ch h.s dad possessed when he played for his Alma Mater. Chuck could be depended upon to drop an opposing player who was de- termined to cross our goal line and saved our team from being SCOrCd upon more times. His performance will be a great helP to the team in the '48 season. BILL GREEN fJunior cenlerl Willie earned his first emblem this season, substituting at the center posi- tion. He was placed in a bad spot to contend for, since Simms already had a year's experience, but Bill could not give up easily and was soon regularly playing the games. He did quite well in this position and his line-backing was exceptional. Green will be a great asset to the team next year. 47 DON I-IAYNAM Uunior guard, Don was one of the 'corn-fed' line- men who earned his second letter award this season. He possessed the desire to play his best at all times and he managed to uphold fighting standards of a football family. Donls bulk proved a great advantage on the line where he stopped oncoming runners immediately after they started with the ball, and all offensive teams, were agreed that his position was a tough one through which to gain yard- age. A versatile lineman, Don's power will aid the team greatly next season. CARL THORLEY Uunior end! This was Carl's first letter year and he well deserrved it. When he began the season as substitute right end, his knack for snagging passes soon placed him O1 the first eleven where he manag- ed to play an outstanding offensive game. Carl always took a beating when he was playing but he was never out of a game long because of injuries. He will return to play for lVl.H.S. next year. JACK SAPIA fjunior tacklej Sappo was a newcomer to M. H. S. this year, but his aggressiveness soon was displayed, earning for him his first football emblem. He hailed from Massillon 'where men are menl and soon proved h.s stamina and power in stopping offensive plun- ges. jack will also be a veteran who will be back into next year's lineup. MAC WHITACRE fSophomore back, Mac started out his first year in his football career with a bang, earning his first letter this year. Although somewhat green, he could be counted upon to take the ball, pick- ing up a few extra yards when need- ed, and he could equally well watch his territory for pass receivers. Mac has two more years ahead and with experience: gained he should be very valuable in the future. Lettermen SONNY SALTSMAN flunior tacklej Sonny'l well earned his first letter this season, He possessed the same spirit of victory or die that many handi- capped players have, the spirit that wins games. Although he was handicapped, some- what, he proved his superiority over quite a few more fortunate members of the squad. BURLEIGH FELGER fsophomore backj Burleigh merited his initial letter this season, playing at his best at all times. He could be counted upon to knock down any pass which invaded his territory. He made many good runs although he never started a game. His defensive and offensive playing were examples of his aggressiveness on the gridiron. He will also be prominent in next year's lineup. BILL HINES fFreshman backl Bill attempted to earn his first let- ter this season and he did this quite well. It may be said that he was the most outstanding man on the team, inasmuch as he was only a freshman and quite small for this sport. He displayed professional skill in intercepting a number of our oppon- ent's passes and did very well when he ran the ball. Bill has three more years ahead of him, so much may be expected of him in the future. Sonny played his best at all times and many great things may be expected of him next season. 48 Football Summary MINERVA 0 MALVERN 2 The Minerva combine met with much difficulty in its league schedule this year, losing its first game to a determined Malvern team 2-0. This lone score came when a member of the Green Wavel' blocked Elliottis punt ill the end zone. MINERVA 6 LISBON 38 Lisbon's Blue Devils handed Minerva its seicond trouncing by a 38-6 romp. Lisbon held the pigskin most of the way, but the defeated Lions never gave up, scoring their only touchdown in the remaining seconds of the game. MINERVA 0 COLUMBIANA 6 Columbiana's last minute play took the game as they won 6-0. The Lions, deter- mined not to lose their third straight encounter, held the Clippers, scoreless until the very last play -of the ga111e when they hit pay dirt on an end run. Mzinerva completed passes and gained yardage running, but were not able to spell TD throughout the game. MINERVA 13 CARROLLTON 6 At last the Lions came from behind the curtains of three straight losses to edge the Carrollton Bl2LCk and White 13-6. Carrollton scored early in the first half and retained this 6-0 lead throughout, ibut the revengeful Lions, with a 6-2 defeat of the '46 season in mind, came to their senses, closing the door to Carrollton's lead, scored two touchdowns for the first win ot the season. MINERVA 0 SEBRING 60 Sebring USt6HII1-1'O116I'6d Minerva the following week by 60-0. The mighty Lionls had become poor little kittens. MINERVA 7 EAST PALESTINE 33 MINERVA 12 DOVER ST. JOSEPH 32 East 1-falestine iomped over Minerva 33-7 for the fitth loss of the season, and the .following week Dover St. Joseph, in a wild but accurate passing fray, handed Minerva a 32-12 setback. MINERVA 0 BOARDMAN 28 Boardman whipped the Lions 28-0 on our Homecoming Day. Palt Robbins, Football Queen, and her court were honored at this game. MINERVA 0 LOUISVILLE 25 The 8111111211 Altnlstice Day game with Louisville was the big thrill of the season when the underdog Lions, playing their most impressive game of the season, on the muddy field, held the Blue Raiders to 25-0 Wlliilll was gained by too many lucky breaks. Much praise must go to Mr. Harold Koerber tor the spectacular band shows produced at half-time, to lVIr. Koniecko as athletic manager, to the cheerleaders who were always behind the team even when they were down, and faculty members and students who handled tickets, rain or shine. Cheer Leaders Charlotte McMullen, Doris Anthony, Ruth Englant, Barbara Roberts 49 Reserve Basketball Summary Completing the season with much the same record as that of the varsity, the Minerva reserves clicked off 10 Wins and 8 losses to bring the curtain down on the 1947-48 season. Almost an entirely new squad of sophomores and freshmen, the reserves seemed to be able to click together Without much difficulty scoring 428 points to their opponents' 397. The reserves Were at their best throughout most of the season, being beat by a high score only once. Their games proved to be the most thrilling ones of the season, being close-scoring frays. With the advantage of being able to perform Well together, hopes look bright for a powerful squad next season.

Opening on the local hardwood, the Minerva Lions inaugurated their 1947-48 campaign by rolling over Augusta 56-28. The following evening the Lions, led by Jenkins and Hiner clawed Salineville 49-13, and the following week experienced little difficulty in overcoming Car- rollton 51-31. Good turned to bad, though, when the following Saturday night the Lions were forced to accept their first defeat of the year by a 44-30 count by Louisville. Returning to the victory trail, Minerva won a close-fought game over East Canton 34-31. Playing host to M.H.S. alumni, the Lions barely eked out enough goals to triumph over the alumni 29-27. Meeting North Canton on the local hardwood, the Lions were un- able to check the Viking's romp and were overcome 57-28. Again repeating past performances, the Lions were victims of a Win by Lisbon's Blue Devils, 46-35. Overcoming the victory famine which had plagued them in the last few engagements, the Minerva quintet chalked up their sixth Win and first Tri-County League triumph by edging Sebring 32-29. Battling on even terms the first half, the Lion's offense clicked into gear and recorded the seventh win of the year from Malvern 39-29. Moving on to Columbiana, the local five moved too slow to subdue the Clippers and were sent home with a 42-34 loss. The current campaign came to a standstill at this time, due to an epidemic of Scarlet Fever, and all games were postponed for two weeks. Getting back into the current campaign, the Lions drubbed Mal- vern 51-26, but took it on the chin in the next two contests, being out- classed by Louisville 62-34 and edged out by Dover St. Joseph 49-46. The Minerva Lions felt their seventh and eighth defeats as the Cen- fral Catholic five took home a victory of 56-36, and were overcome by East Palestine 41-33. Keeping the same strangle-hold on Carrollton, the local five de- feated them 53-39. 9 wins 8 losses Minerva's hopes failed when they drew Canton South in the N.E. O.D. tournament, losing this first game to the superior team 66-25. 52 , RONALD PINKERTON-raptain. for ward, and only senior on the team won his second varsity award this year. Pinkev measured over six feet which made it possible for him to gather in the majority of rebounds. Having ex- perience on the reserve team also, he used his ability to handle the ball ef- fectively and to outsmart our oppon- ents. lie was given honorable mention on the W.H.l-3.t'. county team. Pinkey has played his last game for M.ll.S, and will be greatly missed next year. CARL THORLEY-iunior forward, is the fifth of the five juniors who make up the varsity squad next season, l'arl received his first varsity letter this year, being moved up from the V747 43 reservie team. With experience gained on the reserve team last year, farl proved an important link in the five man chain ol hall perfectionists who swishefl the hall through the hoop for the wins of this season. 4'arl could continually be seen fighting to gain control of the hall for more points for Minerva. He will be welcomed back again for another season. Lettermen BILL GREEN--junior guard, played on the varsity squad for the first time this year and well did he deserve the varsity emblem which he received. liill was a natural for long shots from the center and put through the hoop as many as I5 points in a game. A tricky ball handler, he rould outsmart an op- posing player without much difficulty, making many good passes accounting for other players making points. Play- ing an ever pressing game, he stopped many of the opponents fast breaks helps ing Minerva to gain wiwning laurels. Hill is another junior who will, no doubt, make up next year's varsity squad. BOB JENKINS-junior forward, merit- ed his second varsity emblem this year, being high scorer for M.H.5. with I54 points. liob proved to be a dangerous man under the bucket where he had perfected a perpetual underhand shot which, if it didn't go through the hoop. usually drew for him a free throw. Bob had an average of at least ten points per game, being an outstanding ball handler as well as being a dead shot on one-handers and long shots. Hob was given honorable mention on the VV.ll.H.C. county team, lie had ac- quired his ability to handle the ball from former years of freshman and re- serve teams, and it was his quirk think- ing on the basketball f'oor that saved quite a few games for the lions. Bob will also help make up the first five for next year, making the team for I94B,49 look very promising. 53 DALE HINER-junior center, meshed l4b points in the season's games, mak- ing him second high scorer of the let- termen. Otto , the name by which we all knew hirn, could make unbelievable shots from the Corner, which made him a favorite with all spectators and ac- counted for his position on the Stark County team. lt was his over six feet heighth that gave Minerva most of the rebounds for their fast breaks and Vic' tories, and it was also he who swished enough spectacular shots to account for IB points in several of the games. lie was also given honorable mention on the W.l'i.B.C. county team. He will be back onto the hardwood to play for lVl.ll.S. next season, being even better with the experience collected this year. CHUCK HILL-iunior guard, earned his second varsity letter this year play- ing out front. Chuck got off to a fast start in his basketball career play- ing on former grade and reserve teams. lle possessed a knack for handling the ball which Carried the lVl.ll.S. quintet to many victories and made for him a position in all the bystanders' moinori- es of genuine basket-perfection. fhurk harl a sure-fire long shot that continu- allV swished through the hoop for two more points, making as high as Zi in the Malvern game. Ile earned an honorable mention on the Triffounty team and a berth on the first annual Minerva Leader first tc-am. Chuck will be a great asset to the M.ll.S. five next year.

Thorley's juniors proved their superiority over Hiner's freshmen 24-19 in the initial fray. Pinkerton's mighty five stole their first game from the sopho- mores 19-10, and did likewise when they panhandled the freshmen 30-19. Coach Sapia's sophomores edged out the juniors in a three minute overtime 11-10, moving on to trounce the freshmen 20-9. The juniors then came back to edge out the seniors 15-13 which re- sulted in a three way tie between the sophomores, juniors and seniors. In the first game of the final play-off the seniors avenged their past defeat by netting 26 points to the juniors 22. Not being able to be checked in their new stride, the seniors went on to make the sophomores bow to them 24-14, and win the title of Champs . Senior Lady Cagers Win Trophy Tied at the end of two rounds of play, the senior and sophomore girls battled it out in a special play-off-game to determine the champion. The seniors, fighting to retain the championship which they won last year, again displayed a first rate performance to clinch the title. The class of 48 has been engraved on the trophy for the last time but the fine style of play displayed by all the teams in the tourna- ment paves the way for a capable successor. With impressive victories over all their opponents, the seniors were on top at the end of the first round of play. The fighting sopho- mores took second, the scrappy juniors, third, and the inexperienced freshmen, fourth. The biggest upset of the tournament occurred when the sopho- mores defeated the seniors at the start of the second round. Defeating their remaining opponents, the juniors, and freshmen, the sophomores remained undefeated, but they were unable to match the experi- enced and enthusiastic seniors in the final show down. The game ended with the seniors on top 43-20, Second place went to the sophomores, third place to the juniors, and fourth place to the freshmen. All the players could be given some special recognition for their fine team play and true sportsmanship. The guards who never get a chance to score were always in there fighting to put their class on top. The forwards all displayed their ability for making baskets and at the end of the season we find Mary Seemann, the leading senior point maker with 129 points. Donna Walters led the juniors with 61 points, Jane Willis sank 93 for the sophomores, and Thelma House- holder netted 16 for the freshmen. 56 Champs Back Row: Vivian Johnston, Frances Hawk, JoAnn McHenry, Dolores Smith, Nancy Van Meter, Dorothy Brock.

The Yale team was snowed under in the first half, 'due mainly to the efforts of Frances Hawk in offensive. Inspired by Jane Willis in the second half, the Yale team registered 17 straight points, while holding their opponents scoreless. From this point on, the valiant Harvard team was unable to make up the deficit, and the Yale team triumphed to the tune of 40-36. The victory was partlv achieved bv the defensive work of Joan Lotz. Martha Hawkins and Gloria Jean Reed. This was especially true in the third nuarter, when they held the opposition to 4 points. This was not the first time the Yale Team had come out on top , for they edged their opponents 25-22 in the last years tilt. The game was officiated by Miss Barbara James. who was ablv assisted bv Jack Slapia and Ronald Pinkerton. The other officials in the aame included Pat DeWalt and Betty Ray as timekeepers While Inez Mae Favri, Nan Raley and Dolores Smith acted as scorekeepers. Each team had two managers. one of whom was a playing manager. The green- clad Yale team was managed by Sara Hubbard and Mary Jane Noble while their wor hy opponents, the Harvard team, dressed in white, were managed by Joanne Knox and Lottie Lou Lippincott. The Yale-Harvard game, originate-d by Miss James, promises to be more interesting as time progresses. With her untiring help and competent coaching ability, Miss James has done much toward the completion of a successful season of girls' basketball.

For the first time since the inception of this publication, experienced journalists edited the Diary the first semester without specific credit toward the 16 units re- quired for graduation. In the interest of a better newspaper edited by a trained staff. members of last Vear's journalism class, having last May attained the unit of credit allowed by the state, agreed to publish the paper fthe first semester of this vear, to give beginning students an opportunity adequately to prepare for staff positions. Junior students in the upper third of their class who complete the vear's course in i0'11'Helism. and qualify for Quill and Scroll. national honor-arv societv for high school journalists, by their contribution to the publication the second semester, will form' the nucleus of next year's staff. Anne Jones. staff editorial writer of the second semester won honorable mention in the county for her editorial on the Christmas Seal. She and the editor-in-chief attended the first annual county wide program in connection with the Hieh School Press Project on Tuberculosis which was held April 2 in the Canton YMCA lounge. Mr. Leonard Boerner, editor of The Minerva Leader and printer of the Crescent City annual and bi-weekly publications, delivered the address. Second semester staff members voted to participate in the nationwide nroiect of the National Association 'of Journalism Directors by sending at the end of the school year a. complete set of all the year's issues of the Diary to schools in Germany in the U. S. Occupied Zone. The purpose of the project is to get into the hands of German youth and their teachers material for aid in understanding the American school system and what the U. S. means by Democracy. The publications department sent representatives to the Northeastern Ohio Press Clinic held at Kent State University Saturday, April 24, having submitted entries in the various newspaper contests.

The purpose of the club is to stimulate not only scholarship but also leadership, character and service in the high school students. As formal initiation had not been held in assembly the previous year, a program was presented to the student body explaining the requisites for qualifications and the routine of election of new members. As a climax to this meeting, four seniors were notified of their election into the society by a ltap-ping ceremony. The odd-looking characters parading the hallways the next week were victims of the informal initiation which followed. During the second semester, five juniors and five seniors were received into the chapter at a meeting which all students with scholastic averages of 90 per cent were invited to attend. A picture of the entire group will be found in the calendar section on page 90. During the program, members representing a past and present member reviewed their methods of upholding the standards of the society and, upon the consent of the Spirit of the Torch, rekindled ltheir flame. The present members then preisented the future memlbers, who, after repeating the oath, lit their torches. As a.n added feature, Mr. Wisman spoke on one of his hobbies, the Underground Railroad. Aptitude tests were acquire-d by the society and given to any seniors who.wished to take them. The National Honor members were hosts to all students with an average of 90 or more at the traditional spring party. 62, Back Row: Beverly Draher, Donna Manful, Joan Brown. Vivian Jolinstton.

And what else will happen when, through .limmy's mis- guided scheming, three llI1it3..101l prides appear- two of them men dressed as women, and the OILHBI' his sweetheart, Madge?

Neither did we unltil Carl Schauer held up his hand when Miss Mc, Elree asked if there were any Y-Teen members in the class. 15e-Get rid of the pistol. This is supposed to be a fair election. 16-Russell Eyes, the one man minstrel, obliged the student body today as he res ponded to the applause and came back for an encore. tof course that little matter of time spent had nothing to do with our clapping him back, did it, kids?J 19-Want to know a secret? Miss Trickett likes cats as long as they have clean faces. Now don't laugh-this is a fact. We dis- tinctly heard her say this morning in study hall I don't mind your sitting on my desk kitty but you do need a bath. tMaybe someone should tell her he lives in the basement.J 20-All junior and senior girls with any interest in nursing for with an interest in getting out of class! were invited to hear a recruiting lecture by a representative of Aultman Hospital. 23-Music-minded students went to Kent State today to the Kent Music clinic. La de da-hmmmmmmm-maybe I should have joined them! 26-City officials started wringing their hands and finding grey hairs, as they trieil to picture the sttate of chaos the town will be in by tomorrow night. 27-Am I ever thrilled! Mayor Shaffer just spoke to me. More fun than a barrel of monkeys, I'd say. It's a shame we didn't get in on it until such a la-te late, huh doc??'??'? 28-Well the old rancho seems to be settl- ing down to normal again. Is there no devilment for me to dig up? ?'? 30-It says here on the program that their hearts were young and gay. I'll bet they were scared stiff! Am I wrong, or did I see your smiling face in the crowd? National Honor Society initiates Left to right: Virginia Dager, Betty Miller, Ruth Ann Wallace, Doris Mae Haynam.

Did you ever see such a cute theme for May Day? Wasn't that Tug- of-War utterly thrilling? Too bad you had to get wet, boys. 4-Eighth grade girls from miles around flocked to M.H.S. this morning Where a tea was given in their honor by the Minerva Chapter of Future Homemakers of America. 7-The little brain children of lVl.H.S. attended a dutch treat supper tonight when the National Honor Society held their annual panty. They really didnit mind bring- ing their own food, though 'cause they got treated to a movin' picture show afterward at the town theater. 10-We hear the seniors are talking of having a party. Suppose they can afford 1t????? 12-Some people just never will learn that crime doesn't pay, it seems. Therefore let us offer a word to the wise Why skip school these last few weeks? Don't you know you will soon have three whole months to do that Canton Shopping? 14-That astounding, amazing, uprising Minerva Band Cwhart cad wrote this script?j presented its Spring Band Concert for an unusually large audience tonight. 18-One of the saddest events of the year today. What? Why the Senior Assembly, they had an exceptionally large sale on hankies. -Could it be someone expected to be shedding etears? They did, but don't get me wrong. Laughs were many as the class will was read. 21-So long, you poor underclassmen. The seniors embarked on their trip this after- noon. Can anyone tell me if there is anything You can do about sea sickness???? 25-Hand me that stack of books. Maybe you heard that rumor that's going around about final exams. It seems thai they are this week. 28-My land, Mable, did you ever see so many purtty dresses in all yo' bo'n days?'??? The Junior-Senior Prom went over with a bang. Congratulations fagainl Juniors. 30'-We really realize that our school days were over at Baccalaureate services this evening. JUNE 2-Grab those report cards a11d strike out for home.
