WATERS. HOWARD RANKIN. EDWARD SCHROTH Page Seven Page Eight IN MEMORIAM To school associates, pupils and friends, the passing of Miss Florence Ohl, Attendance Of- ficer for Niles Schools for the past twenty years. was indeed a great sorrow. Her close association with the pupils of our schools endeared her to both young and old. Although she has passed on, her memory will linger in the hearts of all who knew her, es- pecially those who sought her advice. In her years of service we felt confident that she had first and always the interest of the youth of Niles at heart and that her loyalty was sincere. We, the class of 1943. pause in silent tribute to this person who faithfully served us in the past. ' DEDICATION In recognition of the untiring efforts as Spon- sor of the Class of 1943, we whole-heartedly dedicate this year's Dragon to Paul Moritz. His willing advice and ceaseless work have greatly aided us in successfully completing our High School career. As a teacher, he has always been well liked, and as a class sponsor, he will never be forgotten. Page Nine Page Ten CLASS POEM Another year, another class, Will soon say its goodbye, To all the joys and sorrows here At old McKinley High. lts fame has spread both far and wide, Its laurels are not few, We're glad to say we've done our best To pay the homage due. Our high school toil will soon be o'er, The prize we soon shall gain, And others here will carry on For we cannot remain. So all shall part and go their way, This class of '43, But old McKinley will endure Through all eternity. --DALE GALBRAITH THE SENIORS OF 1943 CLASS COLORS Blue and Gold CLASS FLOWER Red Carnation CLASS MOTTO Only in what we do will the future become an actuality.

STU DENT COUNCIL School problems, both social and educational, are discussed when the Student Council meets under the able sponsorship of Mr. Robert Sharp. The duties of this governing body, composed of home room prexies, lie in overcoming school difficulties and setting down rules as to the enforcement of their laws. Their discussions, carried on in parliamentary procedure, prove educa- tional and interesting. Assembly programs and social affairs throughout the year are promoted by this group which, besides their regular duties, seeks to raise funds for the payment of many expenses incurred by the student body.

Journalism, English HI-CRIER A nose for news, one of the characteristics of a good reporter, is not lack- ing among the members of the Hi-Crier Staff, patrolling the halls and class- rooms in search of any scraps of news that might lead to a good story. The journalism class, sponsored by Miss Olive Bowman, experienced a little difficulty due to fewer members this year. Nevertheless, they came through with flying colors, upholding the reputation of the Hi-Crier of thirteen years past. Page Forty-seven gf ' meni0. Connie Casa joan h Sheets.

SENIOR D RAMATIC CLUB On the first and third Thursday of every month, sixty-four seniors with dramatic ambitions met under the sponsorship of Miss Valor Shurrager to learn correct diction, posture and stage appearance. One of the major accomplishments of the group was a patriotic one-act play, Land of the Free , given by several of the girls for the club. The Club had the ,great privilege of hearing the distinguished Mr. Louis Lytton, actor and critic when he provided them a very enjoyable hour of dramatics during one of their bi-monthly meetings. The final curtain was dropped on the scene of the Senior Dramatic Club of the class of '43 when the Senior play successfully ended the perfect settin made by all its members. 9 Page Forty-eight CHARLOTTE WILLIAMS . . .

L. was founded in 1925 for the purpose of stimulating interest in speech activity. T. C. Bond, sponsor, and N C Davis, assistant, have devoted a great deal of their time in the past years in training students not only in de- bate, but also in humorous, dramatic, and oratorical declamation: extempor- aneous speaking and original oratory. Now the N. F. L., like every other organization, has had to change its plans because of the war. Gas rationing made fewer trips for debate and in- dividual events possible. Not to be dismayed at this, Mr. Bond coached his speakers in original speeches which were given at school assemblies and before Service Clubs and Civic Clubs of both men and women. This is really better experience than mere tournaments. We are proud of what the N. F. L. has done for our school and of the hard work undertaken to make this a successful organization.

During the past year, these youthful Patrick Henry's have been trying to decide the fate of the country after this war. The question is, Resolved, that a federal world government should be established. In class, they choose ' affirmative or negative and then have practice debates. After a few to interscholastic debates, in which incidently, Niles only a few because of transportation either ' tice, they go there were n though weeks prac ranked very high, although difficulties. All in all, the debate team has had a very exciting year and eve the seniors will leave the juniors to carry on, they will uphold the famou Kinley High to always rank high in debate. tradit ion of Mc S Page Fifty-one ANNUAL STAFF First Row: Josephine Shaker.

Under the direction of Miss Mary Pater, this organization has undertaken two projects this year: one, a scrapbook for the national government, contain- ing a survey of McKinley's contribution to defense, and the other, a survey of employment of the students of McKinley High, to show in what fields of em- ployment the pupils are best adapted. Although few realize this committee exists, nevertheless they have quietly compiled valuable information. ,L OFFICE ASSISTANTS Left to Right: Marilyn Rickard, Margery Urmson, Margaret Driscoll, Anna Bahn, Phyllis Bartel, Louis Beil, Dorothy Rose, Anna Mae Bancroft.

The Niles High School Band is at it again - once more their outstanding performance has won them great renown. Football games, pep rallies, music programs and departures of service men are stimulated by the Band's appearance. Among the popular perform- ances at gridiron clashes were the formation of an army airplane and a navy anchor. Special features honored all branches of our nation's defenders. Proclaimed extremely successful, the Annual Mid-Winter Concert in Feb- ruary featured Dr. Frank Simon of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the most outstand- ing band directors of the United States. It is interesting to note that all Niles and surrounding communities were represented at the presentation. Our band, under the direction of Ellsworth Baldwin, has, without a doubt, brought much recognition to our school. We sincerely hope this organization will continue their excellent work in the future.

Oberlin Conservatory of Music Music' VOCAL GROUPS The soft blending of the voices of McKinley's Nelson Eddys, Lawrence Tibbetts, Lily Pons' and Ieannette MacDonalds float o'er the air every week when the vocal groups gather in the music room for many enjoyable hours of singing songs, old and new. These well known musical organizations have contributed much to school functions. This year, for their main performance they presented the outstand- ing Mid-Winter Vocal Concert. Novelty numbers, classical and popular renditions were included on the program. Without doubt, director Margery Shields has been largely responsible for the success and accomplishments of this organization. These vocalists well deserve the credit given them for their splendid ef- forts in helping to promote the music department of dear old McKinley High.

A., Ohio State University Physics - Pre-Flight This year mentor Earl Hoker, with the able assistance of Iames Wiand and faculty manager, W. N. Halbedel, wound up a very successful season for the gridiron annals of 1942 With wins over Warren and Girard, their bitter foes, and the highly touted Mansfield Tigers, the Dragons were guided thru the season's frays undefeated after dropping the initial encounter to Chaney of Youngstown to the stinging count of 24-0. Immediately following this the boys were put thru some rugged drills with some pep and speed added. The coaching staff was not kidding, and the boys practiced from 3:30 to 7:00 every night. Showing that they really had team- work the Dragons overcame the fighting Trojans of Canton Timken to a tune of 15-6. Two of the Dragon first team sat this one out, due to disciplinary measures taken by Hoker. The Dragons did not stop, downing next the fast and very shifty team of the Irish from Ursuline. Next the chargers from Niles High raised the eyebrows of the sports commen- tators all over the state by traveling 115 miles to defeat Mansfield's highly rated team to a decisive 16 - 0 count. The Niles lads next proved themselves worthy of their rising fame by turning a withering attack on Youngstown South in the last quarter to snatch a 7 - 6 victory from the hands of Iupe Pluvius, who had a cold and muddy reception waiting in their honor. The Dragons journeyed to New Philadelphia next to corner the Quakers 40- 6 for their fifth consecutive victory. The McKinley Gridders then traveled to Warren to take a hard-charging, tough-tackling contest from the Hard- ing High Presidents 12-6. This was the highlight of the season, in that it refused Warren permanent possession of the Stein Trophy and placed it in the Niles trophy case for the first time. The Niles McKinley boys capitalized on stam- ina and power next to defeat the Steel City boys from Struthers 20 - 0 on a field buried in snow. The Dragons wound up their season by defeating an always threatening Girard team 12 - 7. I-Lthough swamped with tough breaks and penalties, the Dragons emerged victorious, not only for their eighth straight win, but also the holders of the Trum- bull County Championship. However, these were far from the only honors bestowed upon Hoker, Wiand and their boys. The Niles team placed at least seven players on every all-county selection, includ- ing four first-string berths awarded to Devarich, end: Kas- zonyi, center: Evans, tackle: and Zorn. halfback. Hoker placed his second player in four years on the All-Ohio first team in Paul Zom, stocky and powerful back. Doug Evans was given honorable mention in this same poll. The fans are pleased, the coaches are pleased. and the boys themselves are pleased with their 1942 record. Thus, in the words of Honorary Captain, Anthony DePascal, We were proud to be under the coaching of Mr. Earl Hoker and Mr. Iames Wiand , we close the book on the 1942 grid season.

Page Seventy-four PAUL BROWN Head Coach Ohio State University THE FOOTBALL SEASON When Niles played the Chaney team Our boys felt sure to win, But soon they lost their confidence As Chomey's men came in. The next game turned out better though. The team began to fight. The Canton squad tried very hard, But could not win that night. Thus through the season Niles went Determined not to lose, And when the Warren game came up, We all knew whom to choose. Successfully the boys went on And sailed right through Girard. We think they're great, that team of ours, From fullback down to guard. -EUNICE ROUND TONY DONADIO SENIOR CAGERS BOB HOLLOWAY RUSSELL NAPLES PAUL ZORN IOHN DEVARICH The McKinley Hi Cagers polished off their season this year with a none too creditable showing in the wins and losses column, stack- ing up two wins against seventeen losses. However, the success of a team must be con- sidered in a broader light. It must be remem- bered that mentor Wiand's boys suffered acute attacks of height-itis . In almost every fray the local bucket-shooters were out-distanced in height. Also, it must be remembered that our boys played their hardest every second of every fracas. In the long run, after all, that's what counts. Perhaps the most outstanding member of the team was Robert Holloway, who accounted for an overwhelming majority of the points accredited to McKinley this past season and who broke our High School scoring record. Iohn Devarich, who was elected Hon- orary Captain by his teammates, served this year as center of the Dragon's squad. This BOB MQCELROY lad displayed particular ability in obtaining the ball from the backboard. Seniors on the team who distinguished them- selves by their team spirit and the smooth and careful ball handling which has been a char- acteristic of our team are Bob McElroy, Russell Naples, Larry Chance, Paul Zorn, and Tony Do- nadio. Ralph Williams, a Iunior, without much previous experience who added height to this year's team, will be back next year along with Frank Mangino, Arthur Rizzi,and Harold Orwig. In spite of transportation difficulties, the Re- serves played a full schedule. This experi- ence should help them to perform next year according to the promise they have shown. The following Sophomores will be back next year, W. Trimbur, M. Woodford, E. Puhak, H. Steele, L. Pela, W. Vaughn, W. Biddlestone, R. Mayer, and I. Doran. R. Fawcett, Iunior, who completed his sec- ond year as manager, will be back again next year. Page Seventy live f I BASKETBALL SQUAD First Row: Bob Holloway.

Many's the time the McKinley High Cheer- leaders echoed this cry throughout the stadium during the football season and likewise at every basketball game. Cheering and prais- ing our team on to victory, this lively pep squad was always on its toes and was forever in- itiating new ideas into the cheering routine. Credit is due the pep squad for keeping up the morale of the team as well as the Niles fans. Their's was quite a task, and win or lose they were on hand with smiles and plenty of pep.

The Girls' Athletic Association, sponsored by Miss Mary Pater, gives the fairer sex a chance to be in the spotlight on the stage oi sports. In this club the girls drop their dignity to don shorts and show their ability in such sports as baseball, basketball, swimming, badminton and volleyball. The goal most of the members strive for is to obtain a varsity or flying N , both earned by outstanding participation in sports. F air play and co-operation are highly stressed in all the activities of the Girls' Athletic Association.

Probably the most frequent question asked is, Why organize a Victory Corps in high schools? There are three definite answers to this question: First, there is a war to be won. Let us remember what happens to the youth when the Nazi slave drivers are in a position to crack the whip and consider the 3,000,000 youngsters from the Balkan States who have been rounded up for compulsory labor service in Germany. Second, the high schools are a potential source of trained manpower. The War Manpower Commission hopes to have eventually as many as 10,000,000 men under arms, and this means that the majority of the boys of 16 and 17 years, now in high schools must be prepared for military occupations. Third, the high schools should prepare our youth for war production and essential community services. This is exactly what McKinley High School, along with many others in the United States, is doing. McKinley High School offers the following pre-induction courses: Pre- flight, a special course for the preliminary training of prospective aviation cadets and ground crew maintenance men: pre-mathematics, basic training necessary for successful entry into war occupations: pre-shop, the develop- ment of the youth in constructing essential war materials: first-aid courses-3 classes of girls and one class of boys, which are conducted by Red Cross First Aid instructors in a 20-hour course: home nursing, excellent training for future nurses who are in constant demand: and military drill, basic training taken from the fundamental requirements of the United States Army. With such preparedness of our youth, the hoped-for Victory is inevitable. It can well be said that among Shicklegruber's worst enemies are the many divisions of the Victory Corps, being established by youth all over America.

It stands or falls now according to your opinion if it. We have done our best within the limits of our experience and our time. All that remains to do is for me as sponsor to give credit where credit is due. Norma Ienkins and Iosephine Shaker were co-editors. They spent many hours planning the annual and many more hours at the long and tedious work of putting its parts together. Josephine and Norma did the job: they pasted and cut: they counted words and ruled off spaces in the dummy: they conferred with the printer, the binder, and the members of .the staff: they wrote and rewrote and read copy: they moved furniture and ran errands: they did all this with tactful efficiency: the rest of us were their helpers. Among those who helped to build the annual, Dick Bond, Doug Evans, Phyllis Bartel, Eunice Rounds, Ioan Morris, Vivian Werden, Gladys Raynes, Anthony Salandra, Lucy Shing, Mildred Frampton, and Margaret Seaball did stalwart and loyal service as writers, thinkers, advisors, as finders of the name of that boy in the last row who quit school just after the picture was taken, and as errand runners and furniture movers. Catherine Ann Wilson, Ioan Campfield and Ruth Saylor composed the business staff, and with the assistance of other members of our staff and of the Homeroom Treasurers, they did an efficient job. They also served as advisors, typists, writers and errand runners. Others of the annual staff who cheerfully did what they could but were limited by time and other activities and unable to give all their efforts to the work of name-finding, writing and errand-running were Margaret Seitz, Bertha Schuller, Rose Marie Sullivan, Margaret Walters, Ruth Sheets, Verna Sipe, and Lucille Infante. Many persons who were not members of the staff helped us in various ways. Anthony Natole did our art work. Many of you saw Dick Bonham carrying the sandwich board through the halls, but few of you saw him or the others from the Fifth Period Study Hall or from my Fourth Period Class as day after day they carried benches up and down the Annex stairs or helped move the furniture in Room 41. Charles Trimbur and Bob Delute set up the lighting system and hung the backdrop for the pictures with the welcome help of Mr. Strock and Mr. Tiefel. At one time or another all of the members of the stage crew helped to take down or rehang the back drop. Mr. Wiand fixed the camera after I dropped it. Lastly, if you ever appeared in Room 41 and did not become an errand runner for the annual fwe seem to have a great many errandsl, I think it can be safely said that you were one of a fortunate few. The annual staff wishes to thank the faculty for its co-operation, par- ticularly the sponsors of activities, who furnished us with the material of the annual: Mr. Iones, who took and spent and saved our money: and Miss Bow- man and her staff, who helped us advertise. Needless to say, there is one other person without whose constant help and encouragement the above- mentioned furniture moving, drape hanging, writing, advising, pasting, cut- ting, planning, drawing and errand running would have been dull indeed- our thanks to Mr. Sharp. In conclusion, I wish to mention the photographers. Sincerely, N C DAVIS. P. S. The photographers, who are also writers and advisors, admit readily enough that it is my business if I wish to be a base ingrate and say nothing of the long hours they have spent in semi-darkness, with their hands in smelly solutions or cold water, at the tedious work of keeping the prints moving: but they insist that I give them credit as furniture movers and errand nrnners. With the exception of P. T. Alfonsi's photographs of the Band, the Or- chestra and the members of the Senior Class, the photographs in this book were taken, developed and printed by Irvin Iohnson, Ted Iohnson and Fred Fisher.
