BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Stanley Shondel President Mr. Don H. McMillen Vice-President Mr. Frank E. Crawford Clerk Mr. Clarence J. McMullen Mr. Harry L. Pelley, Superintendent Kent State University: B.S. in Secondary Education, B.S. in Business Administration. Ohio State University: M.A. School Administration. Mr. Pelley, the Senior Class of 1958 at Northwest High School salutes you. Our four years of association with you at Northwest have been very inspiring. We have bridged the span from childhood into adulthood with a great measure of cultural knowledge that cannot be gained from books alone. As we say farewell, we leave with this adage in mind: “It is impossible to spend much time with gentle people and attain not some small amount of gentleness.” Mr. Ketter, Principal B.A., Mount Union College; M.E., Kent State University Mr. Ketter, our principal and friend, whose tolerance and guidance will be long re- membered. As we, the Sen- iors of 1958, depart from Northwest, we wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the counsel and advice so patiently given. Mrs. Irene Shull, Secretary We were happy to welcome you, Mrs. Shull, as our new school secretary and we hope you have enjoyed your first year at Northwest. The class wishes to thank you for all your services in our behalf.

Five years ago, our educational fathers brought forth in this County of Stark a new school district, conceived in the hope and dedicated to the purpose of a better education for us, the students. The Superintendents of the two merging schools were Mr. William S. Stinson of Clinton and Mr. William H. Knight of Canal Fulton. Officers of the Board of Education were Mr. Don FI. McMillen as President, Mr. C. J. McMullen as Vice- President, and Mr. Walter Schroeder as clerk. Other members of the Board included Mr. Wilbur Fellmeth, Mr. Carl Smith, and Mr. Randall Kurtz. The second year of our school was a most eventful one. Mr. Harry L. Pelley became the executive head of the new school district with Mr. Robert C. Ketter as principal of the high school. It was one day that year, during the third period, that Mr. Pelley announced that the Board of Education had purchased forty acres of land, located midway between the two communities. In the next few years, he said, we would see quite a change on that hill. As time went on, there was a distinct change in the newly acquired land. Giant machinery was brought in to level the hill. The men worked tirelessly to get the ground ready for the building. The photography class took many pictures, as things progressed, and puc them on the bulletin board in the old high school. The following year we moved into the new building. All available trucks were used to bring things here. It was very much like an adventure. Each day something new would be added to the rooms, whether it was a new piece of furniture, a new filing cabinet, or new draperies. The Board of Education was.fflAcfe 8 of-Mr. C. J. McMullen a Mr. Don H. McMillen as Vice-President,’ and Mr. Frank Crawford as clerk, members included Mr. J. Stanley Shoqdel, Mr. Randall Kurtz, and Mr. Richard Reigli On November 12, 1956, a great event was held in our new building. This was the day on which we held the dedication. Mr. Robert Manchester, who was president of the State Board of Education, was the guest speaker. In those five years Northwest High School has been active in scholarship, band, and athletics. Our band has received consecutive superior ratings, our basketball team has been runner-up in county tournaments two years, and several students have won district honors in scholarship and a few have won state honors. Perhaps the world little notes what we have done here but it is for us, the students, to be dedicated to fulfill the hopes of the two communities in their sacrifice of time, money, and effort.

Under the leadership of Mr. Ketter, the advisor, the club represents the high ideals and standards of our school. It is composed of three representatives from each class. Y-TEENS The Y-Teen Club, composed of 104 members, is affiliated with the national Y. W. C. A. Each member pledges herself To grow as a person, to grow in friend- ship with people of all races, religions, and nationalities, and to grow in the knowl- edge and love of God.” The club is counselled by Miss Fletcher, Mrs. Reppart, and the following officers: Gretchen Geier, President; Judy Just, Vice-President; Jane Reid, Secretary; and Patty Walsh, Treasurer. HI-DM-MATICS The newest activity at Northwest High School is the Hi-Dra-Matics Club, under the direction of Miss Zampieri, which has provided fine entertainment with their plays and inspirational skits and speeches. HI-V The Hi-Y Club, composed of 89 members, is affiliated with the district Y. M, C. A. The purpose of this organization is to create and extend throughout the school and community a spirit of Christian living. The club is under the direction of Mr. Ketter, Mr. Luther, and the following officers: Larry Notch, President; Bob Schilling, Vice- President; Jim Hood, Secretary; and Herb Blachly, Treasurer. OFFICE HELP The office assistants are students who help Mrs. Shull with the office clerical duties. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club is a group of students who have studied library techniques from Mrs. Reppart. Their main function is to assist students in securing books and reference material from the library. Counselled by Mrs. Fisher, a group of home economics students are furthering their education in the art of home making by their activities in the Future Flome- makers Association. VARSITY N The membership of the Varsity “N” Club is limited to those members of Northwest varsity teams who have earned their monograms. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is for students whose interest in Latin extends beyond the class- room. Through the club, the so-called “dead” language is brought to life with the presentation of a Roman banquet, Latin plays, songs, games, and quizzes on Roman history and mythology. Miss Fletcher serves as advisor of the club. MASSILLON P A T Davis Siudio R Don Ensminger Shoes 0 The Evening Independent N Hal's Sport Shop S Long's Men's Shop M. H.

Homecoming, Snowball, and the Prom are always memorable occasions where fun and good fellow- ship are the rules of the evening. 042529 HOMECOMING Patty Walsh reigned as our 1957 Homecoming Queen. She was introduced prior to the Northwest-East Canton game, won by the Indians 34-6. The queen’s attendants were Gretchen Geier, senior; Wandalee Hofsteter, junior; Georgia Jones, sophomore; and Kathy Young, freshman. The escorts were Bob Schilling, Larry Notch, Jim Selch, Buddy Hartmann, and Earl Minks, respectively. The annual Homecoming Dance was held in the Northwest High School auditorium the following Saturday evening. SNOWBALL ' The high spot of the 1957 social season at Northwest High School was the annual Y-Teen Snowball, highlighted by the reign of the Hood’s, Queen Judy and King Jim. The court was composed of Patty Koppes, Elinor Ruehling, Patty Walsh, and Rita Volk. Their escorts were Bill Simmons, Larry Notch, Buddy Hartmann, and Jerry Duncan. Music for dancing was furnished by Ferguson’s Orchestra. The traditional Junior-Senior Prom was held in the Hotel St. Francis Ballroom. The theme for the evening was “Pink Fantasy.” Dancing was followed by the movie, “Designing Woman,” at Massillon’s Lincoln Theater, and breakfast was served at the high school by the parents of the juniors. The 1957 Prom, under the supervision of Miss Carolyn Bruce, Junior Class advisor, was a gala and very successful event. £mfi imenk oj AUTOGRAPHS Squawk Box You can squawk all you want about how your government is being run. You can squawk to your family, your neighbors, the boys at the shop, or your barber—anyone who’ll listen. Or you can praise your government. But your squawks and praise won’t pay off unless you deposit them in the ballot box. The right to a secret ballot gives you an actual voice in your government. By casting your ballot at election time, you can help decide who is going to run the show. It’s not like this in every country. Behind the Iron Curtain there’s a lot to squawk about. But people have to keep it to themselves. If you com- plain out loud, you may get a one-way ticket to Siberia. At election time you may get a ballot, but there’ll only be one person to vote for. But in America you can choose. And choosing means that you’ve got to do some serious thinking to make sure you vote for the right man. The secret ballot is a right you don’t exercise every day. But the fact that elections are not daily occurences makes the right all the more important. And the guy who fails to vote has lost the right to squawk. Think it over—and then make sure you vote. It’s your right; so treat it right. TRAOE-MARK REG. U. S. PAT. OFF. The Timken Roller Bearing Company The right to work shall not be abridged nor made impotent DO YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS?
