Noticing our program, we see the date is August, l967. Beneath the date in large letters is printed Mitchell Field, Poland, Ohio. There is a roar of applause, and looking up we see nine players dressed in purple trotting onto the field. Referring to our program we find that this is Coach Allen's team, The Purple Pumas, undefeated in 4673 games. The Purple Pumas are battling the Crimson Avengers coached by Squeak Davis, also undefeated in 4673 games, in a bitter contest to decide the better team. The scoreboard shows that it is the beginning of the ninth inningp the score is tied 5-5. Immediately realizing the importance of this game, we begin looking around for celebrities. At that moment the loud speaker announces that President Wayne Kelly will throw the ball out in the field for the final inning. Next to him is his bashful wife, the former Nelle Wagner, who is now six foot four. On the other side we notice lane Weese, senator-at-large from Ohio. President Kelly unwinds his beard from his right arm and amid thunderous applause throws the ball out to the umpire. We find to our amazement that the umpire is Bob Susany, better known as Shorty. His wife, known to us as Cynthia Heim, is sitting in the stands. Directly behind Home Plate we notice the famous jockey Martha Skeel sitting in the front row with her horse, who, by the way, is very well-mannered. Seated on the other side of her and holding her hoof-excuse me, her hand, is Harold Temptation Freiheit, the band leader. Also noticing their friendliness is Hudile Hadnett, the inquiring reporter from the Poland Daily Blare edited by Dorothy herself. Another employee of the Daily Blare is Bob Flashgun McCullough, who in twenty years has worked his way up from peddling papers. There is a commotion on our left as a late couple arrives. It's Marty and Bill. Dolly Benson, girl mechanic, says he is still drivingt?J Ezzie. Before sitting down, they have to detour around a crowd. No, they are not shooting crap, it's just Henry DiBlasio telling one of his jokes. It is rumored that Henry owns a dancing school for chorus girls. Looking a little further, we see, engaged in conversation, Ray Butler and Gordon Bennett, ministers of Poland Churches. Behind them we see Professor David Hill and his master craftsman, Ray Cover. You will no doubt recall that last year Professor Hill startled the scientific world with another amazing device, the eleven foot pole for the man who wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. After many hours of study with his slide rule Ray Cover perfected this miracle of our modern world. A colorful fashion magazine catches our eye. On the front cover we recognize Barbara Brooks with the latest style. Incidentally, the fashion editor is Gail Carroll. At this time, the loud speaker breaks in with an announcement that this week's lucky number winner will receive a new model car from a recently established automotive concern owned by Phyllis Ford. The new car will bear her name. This model will be on sale Monday at Bryant Motors where the expert mechanic Bernice Reese will service your car. A helicopter made of motor scooter parts hovers over a box seat and lack Fournier slides down his rope ladder and lands in a seat next to Clemie Shimp who is currently seen in the motion picture Swing lt in which she is a South American dancer. The picture is ably directed by lack Morrow, and the leading male role is played by Dorr.inic Polito. tlt is said that Clemie has a new twist to her dancing, and this time she is putting everything she has in ith. Elmer Sakely, President Kelly's agricultural adviser, rushes excitedly over to the President's box. We find out later that there was quite a drop in the price of corn due to this article. A bit of romance is in the air as Elmer, when leaving, winks at President Kelly's bodyguards, Ruth Matte- son and Marcelle Linden. A few seats down we come to Virginia Posey and Elma Pekkanen who are now working as adjusters for Presidental Insurance Company. lt is more convenient to report their own automobile accidents than to call the insurance company several times a week. A few rows back in the stand are the co-authors of the best seller, Forever Hamburger, Olga Dunchak and Mary Evans. On the outfield fence we recognize many familiar names and slogans such as lf you have moths, don't get mad, get mad, get Mil1er's used by the Miller Moth Ball Company. We see by his motto, When you want to talk turkey, come to Strand's Turkey Farm, that Bill is still handling those drumsticks. Elberta Patrick is his business manager. This is a feather in her cap. In large black letters is printed Ina Freely's slogan for her five and ten cent store- Spend Freely at Freely's. Edith Wolz is her bookkeeper and she loves her work. Other familiar faces we see are Barbara Martin and Betty Lou Stiver who are now running a very successful date bureau. we see that Myrtle Walker has a good position in the advertising department for the Old Silver Cigarette Company. Their slogan is There's no Butts about it, Buy Old Silver. Mary Helen McNab and Ellen Paine make a boring living capturing rattlesnakes. They sell the rattles to Alton Curry who manufactures baby rattles. Alton Curry III, tsix months! seems to enjoy them as well as his father does. ' We hear by rumor that construction genius Marvin Tradler and his foreman Don Thullen are building a footwalk across the Grand Canyon for sightseers. This plan is backed by the former Barbara Schuette who is yachting in the Caribbean. It is said she has her eye on another husband. She has been back from Reno for two weeks. The familiar voice of the announcer, which we now recognize as Tommy Hoyt's, brings our attention back to the game, still in progress. Glancing at the scoreboard we see by the failing light that the score is still tied 5-5 in the thirteenth inning. Everyone is silent as the loud speaker booms out across the field: Matthew Medicus, manager of the stadium, wishes me to announce that the game is called because of darkness.

Do the runners-up in the school championship games want a ride? Pile in, but leave room for our athletic girls who were on the G.A.A. All-Star team. Now that we've seen the games, let's chug along to the high school on November l, to relax at the Sophomore's big Harvest Moon Dance: that is if the old jalop' can make it to the gym. Boy, what a swell time! What you're still in the mood for dancing? Well, in that case we'll hop along to April ll, for the Spring Dance with Kenny Hogg and his orchestra. By the way, those two girls so industriously writing in the back seat are Cathy Romeo and Marilyn Taaffe, our Serninarian reporters. Sophomores study, too. They really went to work when it came time for the scholarship tests on May 3. Do you hear that musicC?l coming from the front bumper? lt must be musi- cally-inclined.

I've come to see what you know about the one and only seventh graders. Did you know that a local celebrity, Ianet Smith, was our Student Council representative? H Did you know that Dick Shepherd won the seventh grade spelling cham- pionship? Did you know that those 'pro' seventh grade sports teams are really good? Did you know those busy beavers, Dick Shepherd and Shirley Witt, are your Seminarian writers. These and many more things were achieved by the seventh grade for themselves and Poland Seminary High School. Seventh Grade if Page- Twenty-four 134- M6 g CLD The Left to right-R. Davis, C.

Each year as the Student Council reorganizes, it strives to narrow the gap between the faculty and the student body. This year was no exception. When the closing of this gap is a reality, then and only then, will the Council have achieved its objective. The purpose of the Council is to maintain a smoothly functioning school. ' The Student Council functioned this year with the following officers: lack Allen, president: Cliff Reichard, vice-president: Io Ann Iohnson, secretary: and Wayne Kelly, treasurer. The other representatives Were: Seniors, Dick Davis and Bill Kiblerp Iuniors, Iohn Shurilla and Iim King: Sophomore, Iack Holtp Freshman, Hugh Stacy and Phil Thompson: Eighth Grade, Don Kelly, Seventh Grade, Ianet Smith. Some of the 'accomplishments of the Council were: the promotion of honor study halls, the opening of a dance room at noon, the sale of school pencils, and many other activities too numerous to mention. The Council also sponsored many educational and entertaining assemblies throughout the year. A monitor system was established to curb the running in the halls during the lunch hour. Five members of the Council appeared before an assembly at Bessemer High School to explain the workings and accomplishments of our Council so that a Student Council could be established by the students of that high School. The Student Council of 1946-7 wishes to extend its thanks to the faculty and the student body for their sincere co-operation during the past school year and hopes to have aneven more successful Council in the years to come.

Iunior team VI won the basketball tournament by winning all the games that they played. The penny hike was a lot of fun and everyone had a good time. After the hike there were refreshments at the pavillion in the park. ' ln February the Freshmen and Sophomore .girls had a Valentine party for the Eighth grade girls. Our dance, The Windy Hop , was a huge success. The music was by Fred Cockman's band.

Back again under the direction of Mr. Raz, the band got off to a colorful start with a complete new set of uniforms. After the dust was shaken off the instruments and the uniforms were pressed and fitted, the band started the year by playing at all of the home football games and most of the pep assemblies. As the football season came to a close, the band started looking forward to the basketball games and pep assemblies. The band played for several home basketball games and pep assemblies. The band would like to thank the P.T.A. for the beautiful new uniforms. In closing, the band would like to wish the best of luck-to the seniors who leave the band this year.

Mr. lohn Raz was director of the orchestra again this year after spending two years in the service. There were quite a few added to the orchestra this year from the seventh grade. The organization gave the younger students an opportunity to show their ability and talent as much as it did the older students. Many of the members of this group belong to other organizations besides the orchestra. A few belong to the Youngstown Senior Symphony Orchestra or are in various dance bands in Poland and nearby vicinities. As usual, the orchestra supplied the music for the Iunior Play on November 15 and the Senior Play on March 28. A mid-year event was the Christmas party sponsored by the Poland P.T.A. on December l9. Christmas Carols were played by the orchestra while every- body sang. The annual Pop Concert on April l8 was the most important event of the year. The theme was A Gypsy Caravan. The orchestra started the concert off by playing a few fast numbers. The final point of the year was commencement on May 28. The seniors who have been so faithful will be greatly missed by the rest of the orchestra. We wish all the members of the class of '47 the best of luck and success in whatever they set out to accomplish in the years ahead. The Orchestra -tif Page Twenty-nine tif' This year, as every year, will see the loss of many of the members of the chorus, but there are always the memories of the good times we all had. One of the activities foremost in our minds is the Choral Concert at Christmas, which added greatly to the seasonal spirit. A transcription of our December radio show was made in our gym, and then broadcast the following morning. This gave everyone who took part an opportunity to hear themselves perform. Other performances in the life of the chorus were the Principal's Meeting, for which the older chorus sang, and the Pop Concert in which all members of the chorus participated. The Pop Concert, which was centered around gypsy life, consisted of not only singing, but also dancing by its members. A group dance was arranged under the direction of Mrs. Sullivan, in which the following girls appeared: Cynthia l-leim, Barbara Brooks, Gwen Campbell, Olive Smith, Sarah Doeright, lean Dyer, and Norma Stone. A solo dance was prepared by Clemie Shimp. So, all in all, we had a grand time, and owe our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Raz, for his able direction of our activities. We seniors, especially, thank the chorus for the music which they pre- sented for our benefit at Baccalaureate and Commencement. Good luck in the future. The Chorus +3 Page Thirty H4- First Row-R.

The l946-47 year of the club opened with a very impressive recognition service in the auditorium which was followed by a tea for all the members and their mothers. The name of the national club was changed from Girl Reserves to Y-Teens. The name Y-Teens means that members of the club are teen-age and the Y connects them with the YWCA. Along with the changing of the national name of the club, the name of our own club had to be changed from Polagires, which meant Poland Girl Reserves, to Tawanka, an lndian name meaning friend- liness. During the Christmas season everyone showed her talent in making stuffed animals for the Red Cross, Some of the other activities for the year were a bowling party, a Y-Teen dance, a fashion show, the All-City formal, and our own formal dance. Several guest speakers spoke before the club at different times during the year. The most outstanding were Miss Spicer, Mrs. Phillips, and Rabbi Gordon.

Adviser Our meetings were held in the high school. We had some excellent speakers. Iack Appleton gave us advice on the Hi-Y system While Dwight Beede showed us some good pictures of outstanding football games. Sheriff Elser talked about delinquency at the joint meeting of the Hi-Y and Y'Teens. The Hi-Y has participated in many helpful services such as the U.S.O. drive and the T.B. seal sales. We have had several social events that were successful. Our basketball players have done well, Winning nine out of twelve games. Dick Hill has done a marvelous job of directing the grade school's Gra-Y and teaching them to follow our high standards. We have been planning for next year's club by sending a boy to a Hi-Y training camp for a week. We have also initiated the sophomores into the club so that they will be able to take good care of the club in future years. We sent five boys, Dick Davis, Wayne Kelly, Iack Allen, Dave Hill, and Don Thullen to Civic Day on April 14. The H1 Y 'tif Page Thirty-three H4- Again this year we tried in vain to get our Serninarian printed or to find some method of making our paper more readable. For our special Christmas issue We had the Seminarian printed by a Ditto machine. This was a little better, but due to the lack of paper and the cost We could not continue this. Next year we are going to try again and this time We hope to succeed in getting a better means of printing. The staff, as a Whole, did a very good job of Writing and turning in articles. The feature and editorial Writers did an excellent job. The gala columns came out with some striking and humorous facts about our classmates. Last of all, the Seminarian Wants to thank the Seniors, especially, for their cooperation in the Writing, typing, and the rnimeographing of the Seminarian.

The Bulldogs, coached by Cy Warden, gained revenge and also the Old Straw Hat as they trounced their arch rivals, Lowellville. The team thanks the Booster Club and the school for the fine support they received during the season. E Three Poland players were picked on the first Class B All-County team: Ted Dale, left guard, Dave Hill, center: and lack Allen haltback.

The team won 6 games, including the alumni, and lost ll games. lack Allen, playing guard, was high scorer with 186 points. Dick Davis, a forward, who came back from the navy to rejoin the team this season scored 146 points. Robert Clapie was a forward, and Glenn fones a center. Ed Meeds and Richard Clapie alternately held down the other guard position. The substitutes did a fine job of playing, also. Poland dropped out of tournament play by losing to Springfield in the first round of tournament play. After showing a fine start early in the game, Poland lost by a 70-49 score.

This sums up the 1947 edition of Poland's track team. Every one on the squad has been working toward this goal from the beginning of the season. Paced by seven returning lettermen, Allen, Davis, Kelly, Strand, Thullen, Cockman, and Fauver, the Bulldogs started the season right by winning both of their dual meets, Austintown Fitch was the first victim, as Poland drubbed them 81-37. Leavittsburg was swamped by the Bulldogs, 93-13. Poland participated in the Ohio Wesleyan Relays for the first time in the school's history and finished up in second place as they scored 20 points. The tenth annual Poland Relays were held at Mitchell Field on May 3, and the Bulldogs walked off with first place, scoring 69W points. The Poland shuttle hurdle relay team broke the old record in this meet. Still on the schedule are the Y-Bridge Relays at Muskingum College, the Mahoning County and District Meets at Poland, and the State Meet at Columbus. The members of the squad would like to extend their thanks to the four coaches and others who have given their time to make this season a successf ful one.

The First Appearance in New Uniforms The The On March 8, seventeen weary Seniors trudged up to South High School to take the Senior Scholastic Tests. Against competition from both city and county schools, Wayne Kelly placed third, lack Fournier seventh, lane Weese thirteenth, Fred Bryant fifteenth, and Ray Cover twenty-fifth in the county. April ll, the preliminaries for the District-State Scholastic Tests were held, the first two in each subject going to Mt. Union College, May 3, for the finals. At the time this book went to press, the results were not known. Academic Contest December Zl marked an eventful day for the students of Poland. Station WFMI featured Poland Seminary High School as one of a series of High Schools on Parade at ll:OU A.lVI. The program was recorded the preceding day with the cooperation of the student body and faculty. The singing of the Poland High School Alma Mater provided the back- ground for the introduction by Ray Butler, student announcer. The high school chorus, under the direction of john F. Baz, then sang Song of the Vikings, followed by lf My Songs Had Wings, Dear. Dance of the Merlitons was skillfully played by the flute quartet con- sisting of Barbara Brooks, lane McCaughey, Sarah Doeright, and Mary Ina Hill. The historical and remarkable record of Poland schools was related in a short skit by Barbara Schuette and lane Weese. The boys' octette then harmonized Old Man River. The octette included lack Allen, Ted Dale, Dick Davis, Henry DiBlasio, Harold Freiheit, Eugene McCauley, Don Seidel, and Trexler Thomas. This was followed by three selections sung by junior high school chorus. The numbers were Yuleticle Night, Christmas Hymn, and Vesper Hymn. Gwen Campbell sang the beautiful carol, O Holy Night. The high school chorus concluded the program with l:'airest Lord Iesusf' The broadcast ended with the singing of the Alma Mater. Martha Skeel and Marjorie Millman were accompanists.

March 28, the houselights were dimming, and the show began. Iane Weese as Cornelia Otis Skinner and Mike McNab as Emily Kimbrough were in the leads with the following supporting cast: Barbara Schuette and lack Allen as Mr. and Mrs. Skinner: Marty McCall and Martha Skeel as two English girls: Elmer Sakely as the ship's steward: Betty Lou Stiver as the stewardess: Dick Davis as the ship's purser: Dave Hill as leader of the ship's band: Myrtle Walker as the Health Inspector: Iack Morrow as Dick Winters: Pray Butler as Leo McEvoy: Clemie Shimp as Therese, a French maid: Gail Carroll as her mother: Henry DiBlasio as Monsieur De la Croix and Bill Kibler as the window cleaner. Such incidences as Emily's hitting a drowning stowaway on the head with a deck chair, the continual clashes with the safety pockets, Cornelia's episodes with measles and bedbugs, the reciting and dancing done for the benefit of Monsieur De la Croix by the girls and the experience with the gas meter provided many laughs. Romance was provided by Leo and Dick. Cornelia's monologue displayed dramatic talent. lt was a play with great possibilities and, under the direction of Mary Frances Iohnson, proved to be a huge success. The Senior Play Randolph, will you please settle down so that we can get something done? You people simply don't seem to realize that the play is only a week away and none of us know our lines yet! November 2nd-what a momentous occasion! Backstage really did look like the back room of an A ci P. The Iunior Class's great presentation of A Date with Iudy was the most exciting and eventful play ever produced in Poland Seminary High School. There was almost as much action backstage as there was in the play. Sis Smith and lim Anderson played Iudy's fine but harassed parents. Iudy Foster herself was played by Dorothy Olchon. Cliff Reichard was very realistic as Iudy's gangling boyfriend, Oogie Pringle, who was always in a fog about ludy's ever-changing emotions. Boy Goterba made such a perfect pest of himself as Randolph, Iudy's young brother, that he almost stole the show. lt could be because he had so much practice in real life! Iere Wolfe and Gwen Campbell were excellent as Iudy's gum-chewing pals, Mitzie Hoff- man and Barbara Winsocket. Ioanne Swanson took good care of everything as Hannah, the maid. The supporting cast included Iohn Shurilla as Ptexford Meredith O'Connor, the new thrill in town: Virginia Milisky as his little sister Susie who charmed Randolph: Pat Swain as Mrs. Hotchkiss, the washwoman: feanne Puharich as her elocuting daughter: lim Conzett as a big Broadway producer: and last, but hardly least, Emmy Shepherd as that P.T.A. busybody, Mrs. Schultzhammer. The play was under the capable direction of Marjorie Randall, who re- mained calm throughout, while the rest of us were nervous wrecks. The play was a great success and the cast enjoyed giving it as well as the audience enjoyed seeing it.
