Senior Class History It seems that only yesterday we Seniors started out to school with our faces shinning from Mother’s overdose of elbow grease, our Cubby Bear Books tucked under our arms. Whether in Farnham, Amboy or East Main Road School the stories are the same. A scolding here, a spanking there, much to our discomfort and our schoolmates’ delight. Georgia and Duane can tell you they didn’t let up any with the paddle way back in the first grade. And remember how horrified outwardly and tickled inwardly we were when we thought there was going to be a real fight on the playground. We used to glance around for the teacher hoping she had her mind enveloped with some absorbing problem, oblivious of the world 'but expecting her to pop cut on the aggressors and make them pay the penalty. She usually caught them, however, and administered a just sentence. Maybe Hitler wouldn’t get into so many scraps if he had a teacher over him. The competition between our elementary schools that kept the field meets and scholastic contests exciting and worth while were completely dissolved when we, the first class of ’41, entered Rowe High’s portals 69 strong. From then on it was work —and work together. While we were still a little bewildered, the Seniors huddled us together and forced us to undergo the initiation ordeal. Tom looked just too cute for words with that baby bottle. Remember? For the most part after that we remained rather quiet waiting for the day when we would be referred to as upperclassmen. But occasionally we glided from our obscure corner. Our Sophomore skating party, Thanksgiving party and sleigh ride are examples of this. In 1939 we again came under the supervision of Miss Drown and Miss Hunnell as we started on our third year of high school. Joe Dickey was elected president; Boh Childs, vice president; Marjorie Montgomery, secretary,, and Marie Harrington, treasurer. The biggest event of the year was the Junior play, “Lookin’ Lovely,” with an able cast which included “Margie” Montgomery, Marie Harrington, Flora Langdon, Joyce Holdson, Francina Seibert, Roland Fisch, Joe Dickey, Ed. Powell, Raymond Kostura, Jack Culbertson and Bob Childs. The Junior-Senior Prom was given May 10, 1940, to a vast crowd of upperclassmen who wore the varnish off the floor. The plaque of Teddy Roosevelt gracing Room 211 was presented the school by our American History class. We are still wondering as to how Mr. Halchin could orate so long and still keep Elsie’s mind on more important dates other than the ones she was having that week. For our Junior Assembly Kay Kyser (Earl Hopkins) took us into his studio for a merry half-hour. The very dramatic Othello, Shakespeare’s masterpiece, was in pieces all right after Inez Ward. Vaughn Ilerbel, Jean Wolcott and Roland Fisch massacred it. It was a year round sight to see Sylvia Sivak and Viola Kultti keeping the paper sales stocked up. Then came our final year. With half-joy, half-regret, we started out on the last leg of our 12-year journey. We elected an able group of officers. For the third year in succession Joe Dickey was elected president. Bob Childs was given the vice president’s chair, Marie Harrington the secretary’s, and Sylvia Sivak the treasurer’s. Revenge is sweet! We finally had our chance to laugh at the queer antics of the Freshmen. On a fateful night in October we watched them squirm as they were officially initiated into Rowe High. The Senior Sociology class gave the school the opportunity to vote last November. Booths were set up in the lower corridors and the whole school turned out to show its political spirit. By a very close margin Roosevelt was handed the third term. The Chicken Supper, an annual senior affair, needless to say, was a “killing” success. Although worn and tired we smiled through. Joyce was head of the affair in our home room and the Cooperation given her was indeed congratulatory. It was a merry, but tired group that furiously wiped 15 S SfS S SAsAsA s VS S S SA S S S S S S S S SA � S SAs SA As though to breathe were life! dishes while trying to dodge the broom Tony Hall was wielding. The Senior play, “Crazy House,’ was presented April 11, 1941, to a full house. For a silly slap-happy family the Beldinkers just couldn’t be beat. Joyce Holdson took the part of the opera-minded Mrs. Bel-dinker who composed music entirely without music or words. So-o-o modern, so-o-o inspiring. Vaughn Herbel played her henpecked husiband who finally breaks away and expresses himself. Ed Powell was the oldest son Aay, who peddled his bicycle in the living room 12 hours a day. Bee, Inez Ward, painted pictures which no one could understand including herself. And she was engaged to Dick Charles, Bob Childs, who was the promising student at the College of Embalming. See, Francina Seibert, was a brat in the fullest sense of the word. Nothing personal is meant, Ciney. Sylvia Sivak ably acted Grandma Dimity with the purple hair, a sad result of a free sample of hair dye. She is a maniac for clipping coupons and entering radio contests. And Roland Fisch was the energetic bookseller who practically caused the downfall of the Bel-dinker family. Suzy Kloppenhauer, the girl who was always seeking glamour and finally attained her goal, was portrayed by Marie Harrington. This year when we Seniors received our rings we were more than pleased with them. They arrived about the time that dear old gentleman rolled down the chimney and were proudly bearing the Viking head in all its glory. It is the first class to have this emblem on their rings. A radio play was given for the first half of the Senior Assembly. The melodrama was the well-known story of a villain trying to collect a mortgage. The last half of the assembly was devoted to Eddie Powell and his orchestra, composed of Hal Baker, drums, Joe Dickey, trumpet, Berna-dene Dewey and Viola Kultti, clarinets. It was hard to keep from swinging it right then and there. Wayne Clark and Bob Childs were fortunate enough to take part in Ohio’s Buckeye State. In an assembly the boys told us f the wonderful opportunities that had been offered them in Civics by participation. Will we girls ever forget how we had to swallow our dinner practically whole in order to be on time to sell candy to the jostling crowd at the candy counter? The Alumni came back for a brief visit to have a gala time at our Christmas party. 1 he celebrators gathered around the Christmas tree to form an Alumni Association. Richard McElroy was elected president. The vice president is to be taken each year from Rowe’s Senior class and Joe Dickey filled the chair this year. Robert Childs was the representative for the class of ’41. For the first time in Rowe High the Red Cross course was opened to Senior lassies who were interested. It met with great enthusiasm on the part of the girls. Instead of just reading about hygiene and home care of the sick we put into practice what we read through demonstration. We don’t expect to be full-fledged nurses but it will ibe an aid to us when there is sickness in the home. Our equipment wasn’t perfect but it gave us just that much more experience. The bed looked as if it had seen better days and it must have ailed from rheumatism because it groaned terribly and sank almost to the floor when anyone tried to lie on it. We are very fortunate to have two of our basketball players on the All-State team. Adolph Kultti made the third team and Bob Childs was given honorable mention. Rowe had a brilliant year and besides these two, Seniors Ed Powell, Roland Fisch, Vaughn Herbel, Joe Dickey and Vincent Smile deserve recognition for their fine performances. Adolph Kultti, Reino Hill, and Vaughn Herbel represented the class in the baseball tournament last October. Francina Seibert and Jean Wolcott deserve credit for their four years of service in the cheerleading section. Will we ever forget the thunderous volume of cheers that knocked the building off its foundations and back on again? The two seniors made a pretty picture in their blue and gold outfits, as Roland Fisch and Stub Hillyer will readily admit. This year the Senior girls played an important part in both the Pilot Light and the A Cappella Choir. The six-page Pilot Light was off the press bi-weekly, furnishing news of the school to the student body. There lies the port; Remember how quickly we told about the radio play over WICA—even the local paper wasn’t that good. Editor-in-Chief was Georgia McElroy. For the first time the paper staff received pins for their work. The staff included Bernadene Dewey, Sylvia Sivak, Mary Best, Reino Hill, Alberta Bennett, Robert Childs, Marilyn Brauch, editors; Ina Orrenmaa, Pauline Ring, Vaughn Heribel, Duane Beach, Elsie Shultz, Raymond Kostura, Bolb Glenn, reporters; and Marie Harrington, Myrna Hensler, Margie Montgomery, Joyce Holdson, Elizabeth Herman and Mae Lawrence, typists. Some of our happiest times were found in the library pasting, cutting and headlining. What do you say Bernadene and Chillie? A Cappel la Choir is losing a score of ▼ Senior Class It’s really surprising how fast ten years can go. Here it is 1951, and I have been away from Conneaut for quite a while. I’m not quite 65, but due to the efforts of Reino Hill, who just yesterday forced a bill through Congress to eliminate tests of any kind in public schools and social security checks are now issued at the age of 28, I decided to use mine up all at once and visit my old home town.. I found it had changed but little. When I had parked my ’80 Pontiac, I started up the street and found myself attracted to sounds issuing forth from the direction of a soap box located at the corner of Washington and Main Streets. I drew nearer, and imagine my surprise when I saw that it was none other than my old classmate, Earl Hopkins, who was lauding the merits of “Hopkins’ Hair Grower,” which he was selling at 75 cents per bottle. He was arguing with the customers, and was having such a good time that he failed to recognize me when I stepped up to buy a bottle of his wares. I continued up the street, and met Effie Bleasdale Foy, who married her little Walter in the fall of ’41. She gave me the low down on the other young marrieds; among them Hal Baker and Inez Ward, Jean Wolcott and Roland Fisch, Bernadene Dewey and Bob Childs. When I heard this I re- good singers when we leave our Alma Mater. Marjorie Cook, Josephine Bennett, Earl Hopkins, Marjorie Montgomery, Jean Wolcott, Inez Ward, Flora Langdon, Joyce Holdson, Otis Osborne, and Jim Wheeler will all turn in their robes. Most of them started with the choir in its infancy and have helped to make it what it is today. Looking back over our history it is something of which we can be proud. We have had representatives in every field of work and play. Together we have learned cooperation and fair play. Now, thanks to those who have had charge over us we go with a deep anticipation for a full and happy life “Out of school life, into life’s school.” Mary Best, Historian Prophecy called again the days of ’41 when these three couples spent their noon hours holding up the lockers on the third floor of Rowe High. Incidentally, Hal and Bob have formed a partnership and head a firm known as “The Double Purpose Locker Manufacturing Company” and are making money fast by manufacturing lockers with automatic shutters, which scratch the back when one leans against them. These lockers are now being installed in the third floor corridor near room 307. I was almost to the end of Main Street when a sign confronted me—“The Kirking-burg Secretarial School and Telephone Company.” I went in, and surely enough, the receptionist that greeted me was Beatrice Kirkingburg. She told me she was getting rich teaching daily classes in shorthand, typing and bookkeeping, and it was only then that I remembered what a whizz she was at these subjects back in high school. She invited me to join her night school, but I declined, and asked if she would take me through the telephone company, which she told me was also under her supervision. There were many girls working at the switchboards, but I saw only one familiar face, that of Ella Poole, who managed a smile and a nod between “Number Pleas-es.” Beatrice told me that she was an expert The vessel puffs her sail; at her job, and I reflected that it was not at all doubtful since she used the office telephone so much during her years at Rowe. 1 had a lot of other places that I wanted to visit, so 1 took reluctant leave of Beatrice and started down the street. As I stepped to the curb at the busy intersection of Broad and Main Streets, I was knocked down by a car. When I regained consciousness in the hospital, 1 was told that the man who hit me was Vincent Smile, who, as usual, was late for an appointment. I smiled at this, because in my mind’s eye, 1 could see Vince coming in 307, 15 seconds before the tardy bell every morning. I really had a nice time during my three-day stay at Brown Memorial; two of the nurses were classmates back in '41, Alberta Bennett and Myrna Hensler. They were very efficient, but the second day of my stay, two movie stars were hurt in an auto accident while en route to Cleveland and from then on, I saw very little of the girls. After my release, I decided to visit my alma mater, and when I went in the front door, I heard voices coming from the gym, so I stopped there first. 1 was delighted to see that Virginia Petro was the Physical Education Instructor. She had developed a new set of rules for basketball, and this reminded me of her nickname “Flash”, which she earned during her Senior year, due to her ability to be everywhere at once. We chatted awhile, and then as I saw by a glance at my watch that I must go. I hurried on up the hall. A loud burst of off-key music burst from the music room, and no wonder, when I discovered that the singing teacher was Marilyn Brauch, whom I remembered as being perhaps the most ardent music lover in the gills’ chorus. She was teaching a group of first graders to sing “On the Mall,” which I recalled afterwards was her favorite song. She was too busy to talk to me, so I went on, but I saw no more familiar faces in the school. Since it was a little early for lunch, I decided to go for a ride out in the country. It wasn’t long before I came to a sign which said “The McMullen-Eccleston Home for Harmless Horses,” and thinking the names sounded familiar, I decided to stop and investigate. Surely enough, I was greet- ed by Bill and Edmund who took me on an extended tour of inspection. The expressions on those horses’ faces made me a little homesick myself, so I got out of there in ten seconds flat. I was almost back in East Conneaut when I spied a lonely figure beside the road. I stopped my car, and immediately recognized Duane Beach, clad in a sweatshirt and athletic shorts. He explained that as he was in training for his big fight with Joe Louis next month, he could not accept my offer Gi a ride. I was very much interested, and as .ed who his manager was. He told me it was Wayne Clark, who himself had beaten L uis in ’45 but had been forced to leave the ring due to a broken back received as a result of the fight. Duane gave me tickets to the fight, and after promising to attend, i drove on. By this time it was past lunch time, so, leeling the pangs of hunger I cruised around town looking for a good place to eat. At last I came to a place called the “Aw Com-on inn.” This, I decided, was as good a place as any, so I went in. When the waiter came to take my order, I saw that it was Jack Culbertson, who was the owner of the place. As I was eating my cheese sandwich—which is all I allow myself these days—I visited with Jack. He said he was doing a very good business and was making money selling hamburgers camouflaged chicken fricasee to high class lady customers. His experience back in ’41 at the Shadix and Silver Diners had indeed stood him in good stead. It was from Jack that I learned of the existence of two new factories in town. Marjorie Cook owned a potato chip factory but was eating so many of the chips that she seldom had any left to sell. Richard Fuller had founded “The Fuller-Full-Brush Shaving Company,” and when I remembered Dick’s all-too-obvious whiskers, I could well understand the irony of this. Jimmy Wheeler and Josephine Bennett were in partnership and spent their days trying to perfect a practical reducer. They had worried so much about this invention that they had lost all their excess avoirdupois and were living testimonies to its merits once it was invented. Marie Harrington has become executive There gloom the dark, broad seas. secretary to the mayor of Conneaut, and is hard at work on a set of simplified shorthand forms. The mayor, whom I knew back in ’41, Clarence Hall, has the distinction of being the youngest mayor in this section of the country. He is also known as “rapid-transit” Hall, due to his method of getting revolutionary measures passed in the city council. Two out of the graduating class of 1941 are in Hollywood. Roy Frank is a studio technician making radios on the side. His expert handling of the sound effects for our senior assembly was an able recommendation for him. Jack Maki, currently known as Gable Tyrone, is a movie star, and is dazzling the girls on the set with his curly blonde hair, just as he used to dazzle the senior girls ’way back in ’41. Joyce Holdson and Vaughn Herbel have collaborated on a book called “How to Quarrel Effectively,” and again I remembered the fights they used to have back in 207. Joyce is still looking for the perfect man and as a result, is still unmarried. Flora Langdon has made a name for herself in New York, designing dresses and is now nationally known as “Madame Flour-ette.” Mae Lawrence is her most famous model, and has won recognition by being the only model who doesn’t eat Ry-Crisp or drink Welch’s Grape Juice. Tom Schlaich has won the Nobel Prize in Science and is now professor at Harvard; John Liimataine is posing for Charles Atlas ads and coaches a 'boxing team at the Y. M. C. A. on the side; Adolph Kultti has perfected an automatic seat adjuster for lowering seats in sociology classes when one is unprepared; Sylvia Sivak and Fran-cina Seibert are now successful dramatic actresses on the stage and are appearing currently in “Amboy Epic”, a sequel to “The Philadelphia Story.” Elizabeth Herman, Elsie Shultz and Ina Orrenmaa are the founders of the “Anti-Giggle League,” and are flooding the markets with pamphlets on “How to Be 111 at Ease Without Giggling.” Joe Dickey is a successful salesman for Oldsmobiles and dashes around thither and yon in his ’41 making frantic calls on prospective customers. Ed Powell, our class lawyer back in ’41 has made that his permanent profession, and is now a national figure due to his successful proof that the Died Scott decision was unconstitutional. Marjorie Montgomery and Pauline Ring have made their fortunes selling insurance. Marjorie drives and Pauline sells. The speaker we had in Vocational Guidance class back in ’41 really set them to thinking. Shirley Alstrom, Robert Glenn and Barbara Blakeslee are taking post graduate courses at Rowe, but they spend their time passing five and ten minute tests at two bits each for disgruntled second year typists. Betty Bartlett's classic profile is gracing Redbook covers regularly and she spends her leisure moments carrying books on her head to acquire poise; Lynn Chapman, John Joslin, Otis Osborne and Leonard Kuhn are all established members of the Arthur Murray Dance School. They have jointly invented a new dance step known as the “Slinky Slip,” which has taken the country by storm. Edward Titus has just been named champion squirrel shooter of the world. Raymond Kostura has printed an English literature textbook with supplements of Greek tragedies in the back of it. This text is widely used in Rowe High, where Ray studied loud and long on these same subjects. Viola Kultti is still collecting money for various enterprises, but she seems to have centered her activities as a social worker on going from house to house getting contributions for the “Help Our Helpless Felines” fund. Mary Best has realized her ambition at last, and is now head of a home for foundling guinea pigs, whom she nurses tenderly and rents out to the scientific research laboratory. Viola Curtis has become affiliated with the “Curtis Candy Company” and has bought out the Senior class of 1951, who are now forced to rely on a special laundry delivery service to provide them with the finances for the annual Senior trip. As Jack finished this last bit of news, I glanced at my watch, and my eyes widened with horror. It was 4:30 and I had to drive all the way back to Amboy before 6! I hastily gathered my belongings together and sped, thinking as I went, “No sir, the old town hasn’t changed a bit.” Georgia McElroy My mariners, Souls that have toiled, Dorothy J.

The Junior play was the hit of the year. For the first time a mystery was given and found to be a great success, and our hats off to its participants. The colorful Halloween party and St. Patrick’s Dance added momentum to the year, while the Junior-Senior Prom brought cheers from all who attended. , 20 And wrought, and thought with me— James Chaplin June Ring: Richard Taylor Mable Smith Willard Puffer Lillian Kuhn Edward Stephenson Virginia Spencer Walter Chaplin Helen Fogg Paul Whipple Marion Cole Charles Devereaux Vera Rlakeslee Charles Riley Mildred Turner Richard Springer Katherine Bristol Harold Belnap Ruth Scully Robert Holdson Patty Nelson Junior Ashby Lavenna Helmbrecht Keith Anderson The Junior Class The class prospered financially as they looked toward the ensuing year when they too would be Seniors.

The Sophomores This year was a great year for the Sophomores—a highlight in their high school career. Under the influence of the executive staff with Harriet Smith as president; Bill McCrone, vice president; Dorothy Rapose, secretary; and Grace Hall, treasurer, they held a decorative Thanksgiving party in November and were joint hosts with the Freshmen at an April Fool’s party given on April 2. To add money to their treasury they sponsored bake sales and collected sales stamps. The Freshmen The proverbial greenhorns did not live up to their name at all this year. Instead they took a lead in school activities by having the honor of placing a member on the basketball team, holding the Pilot Light banner for the entire first semester and playing hosts at a grand party the latter part of April. Officers elected were president, Barbara Kaiser; vice president, Bill Bennett; secretary, Ruth Akerley; and treasurer, Gertrude Shumake. 22 Unexcelled In Sports The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed II SKKTBAM.

Vaughn Herbel and Philip Puffer were absent. Champs . . . Rowe’s basketball team of 1910-41 added another gleaming trophy to the shelf by clinching their third straight Ashtabula County Championship. The Viking quintet set another fine record by winning 11 out of 12 leage games and four out of four non-league frays, breaking even in the annual tournament with one victory and one loss—a total of 16 victories out of 18 games. With a style all their own they trounced their first four opponents by overwhelming scores, the victims being Dorset, West Springfield, Austinburg, and Pierpont, respectively. Then, as league play toughened, every team seemed to be out to stop Rowe, and the Vikings were pushed hard for the remainder of the season. The Edgewood battle was the first thriller, and the Viking five edged that quintet by two points. From then on it was nip and tuck all the way, Rowe’s team winning all the games, usually by close margins, until they met Andover on the latter’s floor. The Andover quint handed the Vikings their first loss of the season, but the defeat seemed only to put more fight into our lads and afterwards they battled with grim determination to capture the title. Rowe finally wound up the season by again crushing Pierpont to take the coveted championship. Bad luck hounded the Vikings in the tournament at Edgewood and after having crushed Pierpont in the second round of the tournament, they were eliminated by the lads from the county seat, Jefferson, in the third round. Boh Childs was high scorer of the season with 193 points out of Free hearts, free foreheads - - the grand total of 704. Ed Powell made 148 points and Kultti 124. Coach Charles Hirshey should also be given credit for his excellent coaching and management of the team played an important part in winning the third consecutive county title for Rowe High. The lettermen for the season were Robert Childs, Joe Dickey, Vaughn Herbel, Roland Fisch, Adolph Kultti, Edward Powell, Vincent Smile, Bob Holdson, Harold Wiley, Dwane Wheeler and manager Richard Wheeler. Each was presented with a stunning gold belt buckle in place of the school letter. The reserves received medals for their outstanding play of the '41 season.

Intramurals Intramurals again held the interest of the school through noon competition between Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. These teams, selected out of the Physical Education classes, formed almost as exciting games as those by our Varsity team. Intramural softball began the season and ended up around October with the Senior B team champs. They had defeated the struggling Sophs 11-3. Although losing the championship, the Sophs tied for 750 points. The girls stepped into the sports page to try their hand at sliding to the bases. The Freshmen claimed the victory to show a spirit of determination in the new “younguns” 0f Rowe. The Sophs claimed second place. Cold weather breezing in brought football into play. Six-man teams were formed and at the end of the first round HerbePs team had smashed their way to victory with 11 points. Right behind him Wiley held his team. However, at the end of the second round, Wiley’s 316 team blazed ahead to smother Herbel in the finals. Through the winter months the girls again came into the lime-light. The Senior lassies topped the Juniors for a hair-breadth victory. Hill’s Tigers smashed through the other opponents in the boys’ league to place a first in intramural basketball. Ping-pong found many contestants but finally dwindled down to Childs and Glenn. The final game placed Glenn in front to name him Champ of the Table. S s s Ays s s s v s v s sAA VsA V j 25 One equal temper of heroic hearts, Baseball Baseball started with a “bang” at Rowe and sailed through three games with the Blue and Gold the victors. Stopped by the battling North Kingsville boys for two consecutive games, the Vikings soon got a foothold and sped on with new determination to end with flying colors as runner-up in the County Tournament. Batting averages swung high this year with Hirsimaki in the lead with .370 average; Jimmy Wheeler following at .345 and Kultti and Duane Wheeler at his heels with .333. The team, as a whole, “hit” to the average of .285 while our closest opponent was at .145. 1040 lettermen were Hirsimaki, J. Wheeler, Kultti, D.

The A Cappella Choir The Rowe High A Cappella Choir has again completed a successful year of hard work. The choir, composed of 36 members, 17 of which were added this year, was directed by Mrs. Alma Tailing Wellman. Many appointments were filled, including those at assemblies and P. T. A. meetings. At Ashtabula, Springfield and Conncaut they sang at church services while appearances were also made at Jefferson and Geneva. The highlight of the year was the trip to Kent March 21, where they participated in the district contest. Here they received a rating of “excellent,” the highest given to any chorus competing in this group. The winning of this rating made them eligible to enter the State contest at Columbus, April 18, where they again came through with flying colors. Gold pins in the shape of lyres were presented to all the Junior members and to those Seniors who had joined this year. The other Seniors had received similar pins last year. THE MESSIAH A large and appreciative audience attended the performance of the well-known Christmas oratorio “The Messiah,” written by George Frederick Handel, and held December 14, 1940 in the Rowe High School auditorium. The combined music department, consisting of the Girls Glee Club, the Boys’ Glee Club, the Girls’ Chorus, and the A Cappella Choir participated in it. This is the first time that a piesentation of this kind has ever been given at our school and it was received with great acclaim by music critics in this vicinity. Guest soloists from out of town were featured. The alto and bass soloists, Miss Ida Mae Kaiser and Lyman Bodman were from Oberhn C onservatory and Miss Helena Strassburger, the director of the music department at Andrews School, Willoughby, was the soprano soloist. The pianist for the occasion, Miss Evelyn Smith was also a student at the Conservatory. Death closes all; but something ere the end, Orchestra and Band The high school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Teachout, has added two new instruments, the bass clarinet purchased near the close of school last yeai, and the alto clarinet bought this year. With these additions and the old stand-bys, they have furnished music for nearly all the assemblies and the Junior and the Senior Class Plays. The woodwind quartet made up of Christine Jones, Ruth Jane Walters, Jeanne Philley, and Dorothy Cook, and all members of the orchestra, entered the music contest held at Alliance, Ohio, April 5. Joe Dickey, accompanied by Joyce Holdson, also entered, playing a trumpet solo. The “Pep Band” played at the home basketball games this year, helping to cheer our team on to victory.

It’s the members of the Camera Club peeking around the corners snapping pictures of anyone they can catch. The club is sponsored by Mr. Curie and has seven camera-crazy members. The officers are: Jack Culbertson, president; secretary and treasurer, Duane Beach. There are only about four formal meetings held a year by the club. At the other meetings they meet the first and third Monday in every month in the dark room where they develop and print pictures. The boys are able to pay for the film and other equipment they use, by developing and printing pictures for the students. The snapshots used in the Annual are the work of the club. Pretty good, too, don’t youthink? 30 The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks; Eighth Grade Art Club One of the first signs of spring was the attractive array of spring posters made by the Eighth Grade Art Club. The club, which was under the direction of Miss Fenton, included 12 members. Cabinet meetings were held every other week, and officers were elected in September and again at the beginning of the second semester. For the first half year Bernice Hershey held the president's office. Tommy Kantola was elected president for the second semester with Clair Bunnell serving as secretary-treasurer for the whole year. The club met every Thursday activity period The members completed some art class projects, painting colorful pictures on glass, making gum models, and dipping jars in bright colors and lovely pastel shades. 8th (JRADK %RT CV � Rear row—Tommy Kan ol . ar.j’d A rkc I n, (Jordon Turner, ('lair Blood, Wallace •rkeli .

The 28 members enrolled have undertaken a variety of dramatic enterprises. The first of the year was spent working on radio plays, using the school’s sound system. This study culminated in broadcasting “The Flight of the Raven” for the English classes. A play entitled “Sauce for the Gcslings,” a better speech play, was capably enacted at one of the school assemblies. Those taking part were Donna Mae Clark, Jean Louise Titus, Junior Ashby, Alice Fogg, Willard Puffer, and Jane Ross. One of the aims of the club has been to keep informed on outstanding movies and Broadway stage plays. A Thanksgiving party and program, an April Fool Feast, and a visit to the Erie Playhouse have been other main events enjoyed by the group. The officers are: President, Junior Ashby; vice president, Ruth Scully; treasurer. Willard Puffer; press reporter, Helen Fogg; and secretary, Jane Ross. The long day wanes; the slow moon climbs; The French Club Sometimes members of the French Club think it’s more fun being Frenchmen than Americans because of the good times everyone has at French Club meetings. The business meetings of Le Triangle Mystique open with La Marseillaise and the roll call in French. For the program French songs are sung, reports on great French men and women are given, and games and contests are included. One of the games most enjoyed this year has been Jouer, originated by Joe Dickey, Roland Fisch and Ed Powell. “Le Loto de la Matemell,” a game created especially for French children, is another favorite. Some of the meetings to be long remembered are the one at Ring’s the night of the snowstorm and the Christmas exchange at Fisch’s. The club, sponsored by Mrs. Ruth Kitchen, meets once a month at members’ homes, with the president, Roland Fisch, presiding. Other officers are Junior Ashby, vice president; .Flora Langdon, secretary, and Inez Ward, treasurer.

Several scrapbooks have been made of leaves and objects pertaining to Biology. Their trip to Akron climaxed an interesting year for the students. The entire group have taken several field trips in order to study the laws of nature. Mrs. Kellogg, in connection with the East Conneaut Fire Dept., gave the boys a course in first aid. This was one of the highlights in the year’s activities. The deep moans round with many voices. Home Economics Club Two Home Economics Clubs enjoyed bang-up successes this year. One, composed of Senior High girls and the other, of seventh and eighth graders. Both were directed by Miss Pearl Hunnell. , __ The Senior High girls chose the following officers: President, viola Kultti; vice president, Ina Orrenmaa; secretary, Barbara Blakeslee. The main purpose of their club was to develop personality. This was done by having the girls entertain the club at their homes and acting on various committtees. Some of the girls did craft work. This year they tried something unusual and it proved to be Quite a success. The club was divided into two groups or teams, a point system figured out and the team with the lowest number of points at the end of the year had to give a party for the other team. The group of seventh and eighth graders chose for their project to learn the art of preparing food for social occasions. This proved not only educational but to be a very entertaining pastime. Their officers are Bernice Hershey, president; Shirley Ilakkio, vice president, and Mildred Kultti, secretary. HOME KC« (nilCS Hear row—Shirley Branch, Margaret Buie.

This year there are 23 members, working under the direction of Mr. Howard Hopper, industrial arts instructor. It was necessary to limit the group to members of grades 9-12. Many projects that were started in class have been completed in club time, including: end tables by Archie Buie and William Greenfield; filing cabinets by Charlie Sippola and Milford Wheeler. A chest by Lawrence Best and a chest of drawers by John Mononen were also completed. Club members worked on plastic pins, hunting knives, iron lamps, bracelets, rings, book ends, kites and objects cast in metal. Perhaps the outstanding project resulted in a bob-sled, which was the work of “Ade Kultti. •VS S S S S I 33 Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

The Senior Play On April 28, the Senior Class presented to a capacity audience the three-act comedy farce, “Crazy House.” The play told the story of the Beldinkers, a likeable family of crackpots, whose six-day bike races, contests, opera and painting formed hilarious entertainment. The children, instead of being named as ordinary children, were called Aay, Bee, See, because, as told by Mrs. Beldinker herself, she did not wish to destroy their individuality by arbitrary names. The plot centered around the machinations of Jonathan Q. Pypuss, an energetic book agent who sold the Beldinkers a 87-volume encyclopedia on what he termed easy payments. These so-called easy payments were the downfall of the Beldinkers, finally resulting in the loss of their furniture and dispossession of their home. But ali turned out happily when each obtained the goal for which he had desperately been striving. Praise goes to the cast for their fine portrayal of this mad-cap family and their friends. Those included were Inez Ward, Joyce Hold-son, Marie Harrington, Jean Wolcott, Sylvia Sivak, Francina Seibert, Vaughn Herbel, Joe Dickey, Roland Fisch, Edward Powell. Raymond Kostura, and Robert Childs. The director was Mrs. Ruth Kitchen. 34 Push off, and sitting well in order smite RED CROSS CLASS Under the able supervision of Mrs. Helen Kellogg:, county health nurse, 18 Junior and Senior girls studied Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, a Red Cross course offered for the first time this year at Rowe High. Some of the things demonstrated by Mrs. Kellogg were how to wash and care for a baby, how to make an occupied bed, and how to give a Ibed bath. Classes were held for two periods every Monday, the morning class in Room 814, and a period in the afternoon in Room 316. Demonstration took place in the rest room. The girls knew they would not be full-fledged nurses when the course ended, but under Mrs. Kellogg’s guidance the training was one of the most enjoyed and profitable classes the girls attended.

On March 28, Rowe was host to the district contest, composed of Kingsville, North Kingsville, Pierpont and Rowe. Rowe was adjudged the winner and entered the county contest at Jefferson.

We all sincerely hope that what we have begun will be unceasingly carried on by our ambitious successors, and if anyone feels that he can improve upon the methods which we have used to make and keep things lively in this, our beloved school, let us say, “more power to him.” INDIVIDUAL BEQUESTS So that Christine Jones may defend herself, I, Marjorie Cook, hereby leave my temper. Ask Herbel if you don’t think I have one. Inez Ward and I, Hal Baker, hereby will our night life and ability for dancing to those two love-birds, Ruth Scully and Richard Springer. But remember, Springer, don't step on her toes. I, Jack Maki, bequeath my love for drum-majorettes to the Junior Casanova, Charles Riley. May he continue to break their hearts. So that Lois Williams can have a different hair dress, I, Beatrice Kirkingburg, will to her my original coiffeur. Because I am losing tyishfulne s, I, Wayne Clark, leave what's left of it to that Don Juan, Calvin Swartz, for they tell me he can use a little. On hearing that Junior Ashby is taking chemistry next year, I, Jo Bennett, bequeath to him my love for that subject. Maybe Mr. Curie will appreciate him. Out of the love for my billy goat and old horse, I, Bill MacMullen, leave them to Eloise Evans with the stipulation that she take good care of them. I. Lynn Chapman, bequeath my motorcycle to Miss Woodworth so that she will have another means of transportation when her Pontiac gives out. I, Effie Bleasdale, hereby leave my slenderness to Idamae Jones, that petite freshman girl. I do it with Rye Crisp. I, Jean Wolcott, bequeath my cheerleading ability to Rowe's glamour girl, Dorothy Browne, and may she get her chasis more than six inches off the floor. I, John Liimataine, hand down my power of earning A's in all subjects to Robert Frame. Burning all that midnight oil should tame him down a bit. In order that Kate Nelson will learn to appreciate the open air, I, Marie Harrington, bequeath my country romances to her on the condition that she go with only one at a time. I, Junior Hall, hereby leave this motto, “Feel free at all times to do or say anything you wish'' to Russell Knauff. In hope that the senior girls next year will win the intramural (basketball championship, I, Viola Kultti, bequeath my basketball ability to Mildred Turner. To Archie Buie, I, Richard Fuller, will my grin and my seat in the library, hoping he doesn’t get thrown out too often. As president of the senior class, I, Joe Dickey, will my dignified responsibility to John Robert Holdson. May his class meetings be as orderly as mine have been. To Harriett Smith and Grace Hall, we Ina Orrenmaa and Elsie Shultz, will our giggles, night life, and noon excursions. To Charles Deveraux, I, Vaughn Herbel, a hen-pecked young man, leave my physique and crazy actions. A tip: If you want to stay physically fit don't take tumbling. Being a great speech-maker, I, Leonard Kuhn, bequeath this trait along with my bicycle to James Shuster. I, Betty Bartlett, will my liking for the U. B. Church in North Conneaut to Audry Hazeltine. Since June Ring gets such good grades, I, Georgia McElroy, will to her the job of writing the class prophecy, because it won't hurt her to let her studies ride for a while. Hoping that they will like out-of-the-way places, I, Bernadene Dewey, leave to Doris Bunnell and Jimmy Walters my favorite niche on the third floor near the senior room, trusting that they don't get caught as often as we did. I, Alberta Bennett, will to Harold Bel-nap my broken test tubes and my broken spirit, both the results of that grilling chemistry course. 39 0 It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles. I, Virginia Petro, leave my shyness and good-looking boy friend to Jean Conway. I, Jack Culbertson, bequeath my secret of being able to ride home in a certain girl’s car after school to Paul Whipple. May this secret save him from riding in a crowded bus. In order that the Pilot Light may have corny jokes again next year, I, Sylvia Sivak, bequeath my job as joke editor to Phyllis Herbel. To anybody that is capable of handling all of these traits at the same time, I, Reino Hill, leave my chemical, artistic, and argumentative abilities. I, Bob Childs, will to Willard Puffer the job of sports editor and hope that he will manage to get the stuff in on time. So that the teachers of Rowe High will not miss me, I, Tom Schlaich, bequeath to Bill Neal the knack of being everywhere 'but where I’m supposed to be. To Marjorie Churchill, I, Marjorie Montgomery, bequeath my place in A Cappella choir. May she hit fewer sour notes than I did. So that Bobby Puffer won’t get blown away in a high wind or stepped on in a basketball game, I, Jim Wheeler, leave to him exactly 53 1-2 pounds. I, Signor Giglimoni alias Raymond Kos-tura, bequeath my foreign accent to Frank Fogg, hoping that he, too, will be a strike agitator. I, Adolph Kultti, leave to Ray McVoy my versatile ability so that he will be able to do something besides making love to girls. To Bryce Bryant, I, John Joslin, leave my cookie-duster so that he can have as much fun brushing off ruby lips. I, Shirley Alstrom, bequeath my delicate features and gracefulness to “Rock” Taylor so that he can be one of our future jitterbugs. To Barbara Kaiser, I, Myrna Hensler, bequeath my blond hair and impediment of speech so that she will have an easier time telling her favorite joke. I, Roland Fisch, leave my big feet and power too woo women to Leonard Blood so that he can get as big a kick out of staying out late at night as I did. I, Elizabeth Herman, bequeath my speed in shorthand to Mabel Smith, wishing it will do her some good, as it did me. So there will be no more ill-content in the school, I, Earl Hopkins, leave my motto “Never Argue with Teachers” to the rest of the school. I, Barbara Blakeslee, in hope that Audrey Cline may calm down in study hall, bequeath to her my quietness. (They will probably give me a medal for this bequest). I still feel I got hooked on my grades, so I, Bob Glenn, leave my stubborness to Bob Gaus in the hope that he might win one argument in his favor. Since I, Edmund Eccleston, am moving to a farm, I leave my art ability to Helen Fogg in order that the library may have more paintings. Having found out that I can read in the dark, I, Joyce Holdson, bequeath that remarkable trait to Jean Conway, but don’t try it more than once. The second time it might not work. To Keith Anderson, 1, Bud Titus, will my erectness and love for mathematics. May he supply his classes with all the technical data they need. I, Ella Poole, leave my cheerfulness and giggle to Marion Cole, only please don’t carry the laughing part too far. So that Dave Jacobs can keep awake, I, Duane Beach, bequeath to him a pillow so that he may sleep more soundly than I did in study hall, and thus get caught up. (Those blonds). We, Pauline Ring and Marilyn Brauch, leave our companionship and collaborated French papers to Virginia Spencer and Katherine Bristol, with a warning to watch out for Mrs. Kitchen. To Hazel Kirkwood, I, Mary Best, bequeath my job as class reporter and historian. To anybody who is interested, I, Roy Frank, will my knowledge of and ability to fix radios. Though I don’t think he can break my record, I, Vincent Smile, will to Floyd Batchelor the art of getting to school just under the bell. Being of sound mind, I, Mae Lawrence, bequeath my laugh and my Sunday night seat in the State Theatre to Vera Blakeslee. To Muriel Quinn, I, Francina Seibert, be- I am become a name; queath my art of playing the part of little snobby girls in plays, because I’m beginning to think I am one. As long as Albert Hubbard will be a senior next year, I, Viola Curtis, will my love for juniors to Doris Bunnell. Having heard that ‘‘glamour-boy” Wiley needs a good car, I, Otis Osborne, bequeath my Austin to him so that he can go romancing. So that giggling will not die out at Rowe High School, I, Fluff Langdon, leave to Patty Nelson the responsibility of carrying on where I leave off. And now that I have completed this most pleasant task of obtaining information about my dearly beloved classmates and recording it sometimes with approba- tion and sometimes without, I, Edward Powell, still being in excellent health and physical condition (my constitution was exceptionally hearty to begin with) bequeath the alluring and well-paid position of class lawyer to anyone, who, also, is strong in body but who at the same time is somewhat below the normal in mentality. Such must be the qualities of a will-maker. In Witness Whereof, the Seniors have hereto subscribed their names this 28th day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-one. SIGNED: CLASS OF ’41. Attorney—Edward Powell WITNESSES (SEAL) ▼ Ot Class of Jfortu-onc Once more it is the month of May, That long awaited month; The month in which the glorious day Of Graduation comes. Looking back we Seniors say The time has swiftly passed; We’d like to shout “Hurray!
