Senior Class Officers Richard McElroy, Leon Stephenson, Frances Ann Graff, William Pataky, President Vice President Secretary Treasurer 11 Class Prophecy It was hard work swimming ashore from that Detroit trip and a long stay on the desert isle: twenty years. But when I came back to Conneaut— Things weren’t at all like they were before I went. As I walked down Main Street what should I hear but the court crier, Clyde Smith, saying “Oyez, Oyez, Oyez.” Upon further investigation, I found that Jay Childs was not just plain Jay Childs, but Judge Childs, and who was it taking down the court procedure so swiftly? Why, none other than Bernice Graves, Conneaut’s court reporter. On further investigating the town, I stopped in at Conneaut’s leading department store, founded in 1942 by Myron Pease. The store was doing a rushing business. In the bathing suit department, who do you suppose was modeling bathing suits of the latest fashion? Shirley McMillen. Margaret Clarke and Evelyn Simpson were two of the most capable clerks, and Dorothea Huber-ich was the buyer who went to the fashion centers, Paris, New York and Hollywood, for all the latest styles for “Pease and Company.” My next stop in this new Conneaut was at the bank. Here was Anthony Christopher “behind the bars.” A great financier. This position was undoubtedly due to the fact that he always could explain stocks and bonds to the Economics class. Anthony’s private secretary was Frances Ann (? . . . What was that last name?) who cherished her typing and shorthand so much in high school. After my errand at the bank, I hailed a taxi whose driver was “Never Speed” Reets. Somehow or other, I ended up in the hospital, no one seemed to know much about that. Anyway, when the taxi crashed there was “Movietone” Hollister rushing to the scene of disaster with his candid camera. He was a reporter for the Conneaut News-Herald, trying to please Editor William “Utah” Tinney. When I awakened in the hospital, there was nurse Dorothy Beach to hold my hand ar.d Dr. Wiley, successful brain surgeon. With the work of these two, especially “Doc,” it wasn’t long before I was once more meeting old friends of Rowe High. One day I turned on my radio to hear John Lahti, announce that “G Man” Buie was giving a dance for the graduating class of ’38. At the dance I learned many more things about the class. Marjorie Swartz was wnuag a column, entitled Muvice to tne Lovelorn” in one of New York's largest papers. Irene Kangas (?) was broadcasting her helpful hints on “How to stay happily married.” William Pataky and Harold Atkins were operating a school for typists with Betty Jane Childs their “Always smile” secretary. Bob Rector and Charles Massie were engaged in a peculiar kind of vocation. I hey were holding chamelon races every week and were now “in the money.” Ar-vine Seppi had become the athletic coach at a large college. Mabelle Wheeler was a well-known manufacturer of “Madame Mabelle Mae” no-grease cosmetics. Grace Goonus was doing her duty by helping to educate the heathen in faraway countries. After J. Edgar Buie’s party at Washington, I went back to Conneaut and decided 1 would like to take a little drive out in the country. A very well-kept farm had a sign “Jersey Cows lor Sale.” Of course 1 had no intention of buying a cow, but I thought 1 would stop and see if maybe some of my Rowe High cow fanciers lived there, and sure enough, Leon Stephenson was successfully operating a 200-acre farm with Richard Shumake as his assistant. A little later I stopped at a little country store which was owned and operated by Duane Kent. There I saw Ernestine Groff demonstrating how to use a miracle corn pad to keep the corn borers out of corn. After a time, I thought that I would go and visit the school once more. In the Senior room was Jean Whitney, now teacher of Physics, and Mrs. Kitchen playing “Hang ’em” on the blackboard. The worst part of it was that Mrs. Kitchen had “hung” Jean on her own name. Here Joe Bagnall was taking a postgraduate course in Home Economics. Lydia Gaus had set up a growing business known as “The rent-a-pen” for shorthand students, and she was earning profits. The day I visi- Continued on Page 34 PILOT LIGHT 1938 T 13 The Last Will and Testament of the Class of ’38 PILOT LIGHT 1938 ▼ We, the most progressive and intelligent class ever to graduate from Rowe High School, are on the verge of departing from our beloved Alma Mater and therefore do bequeath our various talents to students who will attempt to fill our places but will never quite succeed—(so we believe). I Harold Buie, bequeath my chairs and dryers in the various beauty salons to Harold Bennett. To Evelyn Hicks, I Dorothea Iluberich, bequeath my vocabulary of snappy retorts. I, Charlotte Dewey, bequeath my infinite patience and length to Hazel Fuller. We, the senior triplets, Donald Zeller, Robert Rector, and Richard MeElroy, will our studious and angelic natures to Dernll Evans, George Rector, and Henry Brooks. We only wish that the latter three would ar-lange to be in the same grade so that the tradition oi a perfect trio in every class could be carried on. 1, Jay Childs, bequeath my curly hair and rosy cheeks to any girl who can use them. To anyone who goes against my wishes I will my attack of the “itch.” 1, Shirley McMillen, bequeath my long fingernails to Anna Maki. To Gladys Parris, I, Irene Kangas, will my clinging feminine ways. I Robert Wiley, bequeath my quiet dignity to Kenneth Davis. In return for his promise to charm all the girls with it as I did in my day, I, Haroid Atkins, bequeath my cute grin to Raymond Kangas. To Norwood Lane, I, Anthony Christopher, will my flirting ability. I, Dorothy Beach bequeath my quiet and bashful manner to Wilbur Brown. I, William Tinney, bequeath my hate of women to Floyd Valentine. It’ he is found willing to accept my first request, he may have a second gift—namely my ability to avoid the afore-mentioned section of human society. After searching far and wide, I, Clyde Smith, have decided to will my hidden gallantry to Harold Hillyer. I, Frances Ann Graff, bequeath my long- cherished giggle to Bertha Bailey. To Barbara Cheney, I, Grace I oomis, bequeath my rough and tumble ways. We, Arvine Seppi and Charles Massie, bequeath our mighty muscles to Russell Silkey and Leslie Frank. 1, Evelyn Simpson, bestow my permanent wave on Wilma Bartlett and may she sufier the ridicule I suffered when I appeared with a fuzzy top. To Mary Louise Ryan, I, Darwin Hollister. bequeath my incomprehensible bashfulness. 1, Jean Whitney, bequeath my love of sweets and passion Tor dieting to Matie Phillips. May she remain slim until I lose weight. After long consideration, I, Richard Shu-make, have determined to will my ability to slide down in my seat so as to be unnoticed in Economics class to Ahti Orrenmaa. .My passion for falling down, I, Bernice Greaves, bestow upon whomever designated by Miss llunnell and Mr. Williams as the best at choosing weak chairs in which to sit. I, Leon Stephenson, will my dapper, man-about-town manner to James Bast. To Ross Buie, I, Myron Pease, bequeath my sense of humor which is such that 1 burst out laughing when the joke is over. My poetic talent, which has been so useful to me in writing in autograph albums, I, Betty Jane Childs, bequeath to Mary Christopher. 1, Margaret Clarke, will my ability to smile in any situation to Jeanette Sauro. To Esther Hill, I, Lydia Gaus, will my gorgeous blush. To Orel Hicks, I, Duane Kent, will my playful nature, and my book on how to slide desks around successfully and make a general nuisance of yourself. I, John Lahti, bequeath my beautiful pompadour to Ralph Cox. He may also have my imported brush to care for it. To Ethel Bennett, I. William Pataky, bequeath my love of money and my ability to care for it.

The 41-piece band also turned out at several of the home basketball games and played lively marches which inspired “that old fight” in the players. The band has been steadily increasing in size and this has enabled the organization to maintain its 41 pieces despite the fact that several of its players were graduated last year. More new players next year give promise of larger band, fuller tone, and better instrumental “balance.” Those who received letters for band are: Durward Olds Francis Dickey Kenneth Davis Orchestra The orchestra is still progressing, even though many of the best players were graduated last year. Mr. Kaarlo Mackey, instructor, has added several violins and one oboe since last fall. The annual concert was held May G. The group took part in a musical assembly given for the pupils of Conneaut Junior High school and played at the Operetta, Junior Play, and the Senior play. The organization did not enter the annual contest this year because of the lack of necessary instruments. Lydia Gaus and Charlotte Dewey won school letters. 34 Und er Classmen Sophomores 2 A Freshmen SOPHOMORES Top row: Oiva Kansas, Bruce Clarke, Melvin Barker, Fred Hopkins, Harry Kirkwood, Lyle Dennett, Henry Brooks, Hugh Dixon, Robert Conway, Donald Cline, George Rector, Marvin Andes, Howard Crandall, Edward 'Braden.

PILOT LIGHT 1938 ▼ 25 Organizations and Activities ■------------- i PILOT LIGHT 1938 T Girls7 Athletic Association The G. A. A., founded and established by Coach Charles Hirsimaki December 2, 193G, has an enrollment of eight girls, who ha're earned letters for varsity sports. This organization was founded for the purpose of increasing interest in varsity sports, enlivening school spirit and participating in various entertainments. The organization sponsored a successful Skating Party on March 9 and a Spaghetti Supper on April 21. They also sold Vikings’ stickers to the Howe High students. The officers for 1937-38 are: President—Esther Hill Vice President—Helen Hirsimaki. Secretary and Treasurer—Mabelle Wheeler. Home Economics Club Making crepe paper flowers, giving talks on hobbies, and sewing on regular class projects were the activities of the Home Economics Club in their Thursday meetings. The club is under the direction of Miss Pearle Hunnell. The officers for this year were: Shirley McMillen, president; Helen Hirsimaki, vice president; Geraldine Chapman, secretary; and Ernestine Groff, treasurer. Boys7 Home Economics Club One of the big news items of the year was the formation of the Boys' Economics Club. Ten senior boys got together once a week in a valiant endeavor to learn to take care of themselves. Cooking, mending, and buying were subjects studied with great interest. Cooking reigned favorite. Officers were: president—Harold Atkins; vice president—Bob Wiley, and secretary-treasurer, Myron Pease. Declamatory The declamatory team, Voletta Lane, Ersel Dye, Marjorie Wright, and Donald Cline, were carefully coached by Miss Tobin, then found no interscholastic opponents matched against them. However, an assembly was set aside in which they competed against one another. First places in each type, humorous and serious, were awarded Donald Cline and Voletta Lane. Industrial Arts Club With its experienced staff of officers, the boy’s Industrial Arts Club greatly increased its membership and the scope of its activity this year. New rules increased the efficiency of the committees and transformed the club into a more active organization. Their projects ranged from model plane building to the construction of small electric motors. The boys made rings, models, knives, acquar-iums, electric motors, light fixtures, stands, and book ends. New members came in to raise the membership to an active group of 40. Two model airplane contests were staged by junior and senior members. Officers are: William Tinney, president; Lee Mullen, vice president; Leslie Frank, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Hopper is faculty advisor. The junior club of 25 boys and girls builds model planes entirely. Their models supported by wires fill the ceiling of Mr. Halchin’s home room. Over 250 have been built in the past six months. Officers are: Bobby Hold-son, president, Charles Riley, secretary-treasurer. Vocal Music, continued tenor, Richard McElroy, first bass, and Francis Dickey, second bass. The boys’ harmonic singing has been in great demand throughout the year. They have sung at the Masonic Temple, at the Methodist, Baptist, and E. C. Methodist churches, at an assembly in Geneva, in Harpersfield and in Jefferson. The Madrigal singers is a choral group singing A Cappella numbers. They made their radio debut on station W. I. C. A. March 21. They have also sung at t!Te Baptis Church and in Jefferson and Geneva. Members are: seniors: Jean Whitney, Mabelle Wheeler, and Frances Ann Graff; juniors: Esther Hill, Francis Dickey, ar.d Kenneth Davis. A vocal concert was given on April 1 by the singing section of the school. It included an original medley of tunes and some dancing acts. The combined groups, including the glee club, presented programs at the Ashtabula County P. T. A. Council, at the Ashtabula County Teacher Association meeting, and at an assembly at Conneaut Junior High. 28 Sports BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM BACK ROW:Robert Rector, Durward Olds, John Reets, Coach Charles E. Hirsi-maki, Manager Raymond Kangas, Adolph Kultti. SECOND ROW: Orel Hicks, Harold Hillyer, Robert Wiley, Russel Silkey, Louis Palagyi, Wallace Bittler, Arvine Seppi. Schedule Results Boys' Basketball Team Winning five of its six league games, Rowe High narrowly missed first place In the county league this year. The victory drive halted abruptly when Austinburg, last league opponent, won a surprise victory on their own floor. Three Rowe boys were out with injuries, and the loss of Hicks, Pease, and Olds made Rowe vulnerable to the “small court” tactics of Austinburg. Three points from a league victory: 29-32. The team is given credit for playing some of the most brilliant games of the season. The entire team with the exception of Bob Wiley, first string guard, and Myron Pease, who started the season in full swing, will see action next year. The team has high hopes and chances of bringing the league pennant and trophy back to Rowe. Those receiving letters are: Wallace Bittler, Russell Silkey, Orel Hicks, Louis Palagyi, Durward Olds, Harold Hillyer, Robert Wiley and John Reets. 19, Alumni 19 14, Albion 26 21, Girard 31 37, Dorset 11 21, E.

Girls’ Basketball Team Scoring thirteen wins and only two defeats for the entire 1937-38 basketball season, the Rowe Girl’s team, led by Coach Charles Hirsimaki, placed third in their division. Unfortunately, the only two defeats were league games and this placed Rowe below her two victors. With only two players graduating this year, Rowe has an unusually bright outlook for the future. Helen Hirsimaki and Anna Maki won honors for individual game scoring by totaling 177 and 170 points, respectively. Helen Hirsimaki also won a small gold basketball for her marksmanship in shooting fouls during a contest held at practices. Miss Pearl Hunnell acted as girl’s faculty advisor for the season. The following girls received letters: Bertha Bailey, Mary Christopher, Edna Cline, Esther Hill, Helen Hirsimaki, Joyce Holdson, Anna Maki, Pauline Strickland, (Manager) and Mabelle Wheeler, (Honorary Captain).

Boys’ and Girls’ Track Team Rowe won three inter - school meets, brought back three county pennants, and again proved herself the strongest track contender in Ashtabula county. Her last year’s record, in which Rowe brought home all four pennants, made Con-neaut’s name a challenge to all schooLs in the county meet at Jefferson. There, on May 16, Rowe won pennants in the boys’ and girls’ elementary, and the seniors girls’ division. The senior boys’ class was closely contested, first Austinburg and then Rowe in the lead. Jefferson’s surprise relay victory gave her first place, with 3-4 point more than Rowe’s 29 1-2. In the inter-school meets Rowre won over North Kingsville, Austinburg, East Geneva, Edgewood, and over Jefferson girls. Rowe’s First Football Team A newly organized Rowe High football team ended the season with a perfect record winning the game against the strong Ashtabula Reserves, 14-0. At the first call to practice by Coach Charles Hirsimaki fifty candidates lifted themselves up as prospective material. Scrimmage was staged several times with the rugged Conneaut Trojans, with whom we started our season. By the time of the Ashtabula game the squad was thinned to twenty-five '‘heads up” players who saw action. Coach Charles Hirsimaki had many handicaps against him. In spite of the lack of equipment, a squad of inexperienced players, and the inability to schedule more games, Rowe’s first football year was one worth remembering. 32 ¥ • CLASS HISTORY We began. Not together, not in one school but three. Amboy in its new red brick, Farnham, and the late old Main Road building. They tore down a part of us, a part of our past when they took away the frame structure on East Main Road. In these three schools were written the first pages of our history. There began reading, writing, arithmetic and more. Much more than even we could dream. We had our playground quarrels, they lined us up against the wall in baggy dresses and short trousers for those never to be forgotten pictures. We talked and stayed in at recess. After school we wrote for 50 or 100 times those confessions of quote: “I talked in school today.” Perhaps, alas, for certain we even left behind those queer little donations of gum beneath our chairs. Birthday cakes began to carry more and more candles. We looked now down upon the little first, second and third grade “babies” who followed us so far behind. We learned to forget the favored front seats that won us a gold star and made us monitor. We still cleaned a few erasers, emptied the pencil sharpener and helped “teacher” carry on. But we had long since passed that first day when mother helped us across the street and brought us into a new world, the schoolroom. Independence grew in us. We saw more things to look on and our lives were forever adding new interests. Instead of marbles, beanshooters and paper-wad sling-shots our interests became centered on school plays, assembly programs, baseball, basketball, track. The microphone lured us to find our new voices. WICA opened its doors to numbers of our group who proudly represented Rowe. The fall of 1937 found us Seniors, initiating the freshmen and entering the last stage in our high school career. Through operetta, Senior play and on now to this class night we worked together and worked more earnestly than ever before. Somehow we knew this was our last year and now we know it was all too short. Part of our lives are left behind us here. Some tomorrow we will come back to walk, these halls, here we will remember teachers, friends, and those beloved desks in our Senior home-room. We will not forget Mrs. Kitchen who helped us out of this final childhood and when our caps and gowns have brought us proudly to that last brave moment when we accept our diplomas and try not to show we almost wish we didn’t yet, we leave these doors and the life that began so long ago. We are not Richard, Donald, Jean and Anthony. We are not mere individuals selfishly wrapped up in the interests of one life. Tonight we are the class of ’38 and we are leaving these gates more proudly and we hope more wise than we entered them. Such is the history of the class, Rowe High School’s class of 1938.

Class Prophecy, continued ted school, I was fortunate to be able to listen to Ziegfield Zeller, a well-known lecturer, talk on the subject “Improving the Behavior in Schools.” He was holding a spellbound audience with tales of “I remember when. ...” As it was now time for Rowe High’s 1958 graduating class to take a trip, I decided that I would like to go along and see again the things I had seen ’way back in 1938. When I got on the boat, I learned that Richard McElroy was the captain and that he had been taking the Senior classes of Rowe High School on these trips since 1940. I’d played Rip Van Winkle long enough and was glad I was awake to the New Con-neaut and the graduating class of 1938. H. C. CHAPMAN General Hardware PAINTS OILS GLASS 193 Park Avenue Conneaut.
