HOLDSON . .. .DEDICATION To the one who binds up bruised knees, administers iodine to cuts, does that last minute odd job, checks absences, and serves as secretary, we dedicate this Saga. As we leave our Alma Mater she will long be remembered as a friend who gave untiring devotion and service to the students and school. This is but a small momento of our appreciation of Mrs. Alice M. Holdson. . ... D EDICATIONS FACULTY. The senior class motto, “Not for school but for life we learn,” has come to be a reality to us through the help of our high school faculty.

But soon we separately-recorded creatures were banded together for the beginning of our contacts with the great, wide world outside our own homes. The first grade! Our present class thrived as triplets—Amboy, Farnham and East Conneaut. But the story is as one. Rhythm bands, sandbox farms, learning to read, jumping rope, marbles, jacks, the multiplication tables, ante-i-over, fox-and-geese, a scolding or two, pom-pom pullaway, code messages—and a thousand more blocks which go to make up the crazy-quilt of grade school. The faces of several first-graders at East Main Road School were red once upon a time. The obliging whirly-gig granted forbidden rides to the dear little creatures. After a short business meeting with the teacher acting as chairman, their—did I say faces?—were red. Paul was singled out from the other first grader boys to have the honor (?) of sitting on teacher’s lap. The wee lad, so exhausted from being—angelic, fell asleep. An innocent garter snake was once ushered into Patty’s crumpled coat by a band of fourth grade desperadoes. She expelled him with a screech like an owl’s. The Amboy sixth grade teacher took an unexpected skid on the freshly oiled floor. Oh! Our hearts vaulted up into our throats. Perhaps she had broken a leg (we hoped.) She might be unconscious. Yet she had clawed at a desk on the downward flight. Then—she moved. Ah, heck, she was O. K. She arose. Our little hearts collapsed. Our little round eyes followed her outstretched arm to her hand where her thumb hung— dripping with a coal-black liquid called ink. Then the deadly silence was shattered by cackles, giggles and guffaws. The years murmured on until the day, diplomas, tied with narrow red ribbon, were presented “grads” of Amboy, Farnham, and Rowe. If we weren’t already green freshmen we turned that color from fright on the evening of freshmen initiation. However, we led the “cruel” seniors a merry chase and did all the wacky things they demanded—“or else.” This was the night that Hub’s dress slipped its moorings. What I mean is—Hub masqueraded as a “gurl” and his “gown” was tucked up to show his legs to advantage. But what goes up must come down—and his hem did just that. Why faces turn crimson! When Paul becomes a minister may he remember the time he swished and swayed as a “hula-hula girl” (admission—one cent) at our sophomore Thanksgiving party. Johnny couldn’t foretell it, but this year was his first step as a third-termer president. Then our class was dissected when we turned juniors. We were back where we started from as freshmen—Room 316 and 314. One room and one room should make two rooms. But in our case, one room and one room made one group. If a play goes over with a bang, do you call it a banging success? If you do, “Aunt Susie Shoots the Works” was that. Lights went on and off—love pills were munched —and “if you don’t mind my sayin’ so” got on peoples’ nerves. The cast will never forget their unique and breath-taking rides after practice in a certain milk truck. Them was the “good ole days.” So say the cast: Whipple, Devereaux, Bunnell, Evans, Ashby, Turner, Puffer, Scully, Fogg and Cole. Sailor scenes were the “thing” at our junior-senior prom. A super decorating committee had erected the lighthouse of lighthouses in the gym center and the music room was a melody of blue and white. Do you remember clanging the ship’s bell? Then quick as lightning, we blossomed (or am I being optimistic) into master minds. At least, I’m safe in saying we became seniors. Re-elected junior officers Holdson, Whipple, Turner and Scully took up the reins as we romped through our Mutt and Jeff year—the longest, yet the shortest. We were seniors! We were back together again! Everything was a little bit of all right. 14 Our mouths drooled as we lustily reaped our revenge. Unsuspecting freshmen cringed before our iron touch. It wasn’t too bad, though the committee had to turn Sherlock and track down one reluctant little lass. Our only complaint on our chicken supper was that we gave ’em too much to eat— truly constructive criticism. I won’t mention the incident of someone’s putting NaCl in a sugar bowl instead of what belongs there. Never say “no versatility” in our senior class—recollect our assembly ? Helen and Ruth wrote it, but that didn’t do the wowing. Barefoots “Cherry Blossom” Ring and a L’il Abner Holdson set a new style note —a bag dress and dirty feet and on them the feet in such condition looked good. Sloppier end-men there never were than Frame, Puffer, Holdson and Whipple. Whenever I hear “Chatanooga Choo-Choo” I think of their “Special.” Old grads trooped back to the Yuletide shindig and swung themselves to the music of Morrell Starks’ orchestra. Activity was our middle name. Representing us in behalf of basketball—the sport of Rowe—were Springer, Walters, Taylor, Wiley, Holdson, Hubbard and Knauff. Piloting of the “Pilot Light” was in Marian’s hands and scads of reporters scurried for fresh news, gossip, or inside dope on the kids. Snoopers and production whizs were Turner, Williams, Puffer, Scully, Ha-zeltine, Quinn, Nelson, Bunnell, Evans, Fogg and D. C. Browne. A sextette of singers, Frame, Holdson, Bunnell, Whipple, Gaus and Ring will make their “cheerios” to the a cappella choir. A projector, new in idea to almost every- __________SENIOR We the Seniors of Rowe High School, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this, our last Will and Testament, in manner following—that is to say: I, “Little” DOROTHY BROWN, bestow my incessantly shining sex appeal on Arlene Schlaich with the stipulation that she must receive at least ninety-nine and forty-four one, was the class gift to the school. This baloptican may be used to project on a screen any type of ordinary picture from a newspaer or book. It surely got plenty of work-outs during P. O. D. news report sessions. We admit our class doesn’t lack too many nit-witty people, but “Mr. Hyde,” Priscella,” “John Alden,” and “Lady Mac-Beth”—a “nut house”—and a dummy who is “murdered” rather exceed the limit for any one class. “Lunatics at Large,” had all these and more—excitement with a capital “E”, but definitely. Whipple, Fogg, Bristol, Frame, Puffer, Bunnell, Turner, Haz-eltine, Nelson, Holdson, Springer, Williams, Ashby and Wiley trod the boards for this laugh-and-scare killer-diller of a thriller. Then suddenly like toadstools, little signposts started bobbing up—they were all pointing toward “Graduation.” We were measured for gowns; then rings took the center of attention. We had our pictures taken; in rapid succession came cards, announcements, trip discussions, the “Saga” and class night. Like raindrops, matters new tc us began falling into our hands. I guess it’s all a part of becoming a senior—a complex individual, to say the least. Wanting school to end—yet, regretful because for some of us it may be our last taste of school life—outside that huge school of which we’ve heard so much and which now shall see for ourselves—the “school of hard knocks.” Our class motto was “Not for school, but for life, we learn.” Will this prove true? Time has the answer to this question within her covers. Ruth Scully, Class Historian CLASS WILL one hundredths per cent of the letters from handsome soldiers as I have. To Bill McCrone, I, KEITH ANDERSON transfer my unique facility for being absent from school at least three-fourths of the time—more if possible. If he can improve on this record, it is his privilege to do so. I, PATTY NELSON, will gladly my “sweet disposition” to Ruth Akerley (if it will do 15 her any good) to be used only to keep Bob Herb in hand. We, HAROLD WILEY and RICHARD SPRINGER, hand over to Ike Kent and Bill Neal all of our dates with Conneaut girls— except two—(everyone knows who they are) provided they don’t go out with the same one twice in one week. To Pauline Petaro, I, DOROTHY KOPP, donate my efficiency on the basketball floor with the agreement that she will fumble the ball five times to my ten. 1, FLOYD BATCHELOR, present to Joe Schor my position as Rowe High’s “Singing Cowboy.” (Of course, there are several strings attached.) He must come up to the Senior room every noon and serenade the fairer (?) sex. To Mid Maki, I, ROSE PROLONG, bequeath my fantastic notions on fashions. May she use them to the best advantage in snaring her one and only. I, PAUL WHIPPLE, alias “Parson Paul,” impart with my impulsiveness and aptitude for always arguing myself into a predicament to Bryce Bryant—for the benefit of the teachers (so they won’t forget me) in good old Rowe High. To Donna Mae Clark, I, KATHERINE “0. K.” BRISTOL, bequeath my unlimited imagination and yarn spinning. She must answer to me if she doesn’t keep the ball rolling. I, CHARLES DEVEREAUX, leave to Ben Roberts my “Super Snazzy Snooze Society” of which I am president. The members consist of me, myself, and I. It goes into session every day in English class—no violations permitted. To Elsa Kesatie, I, FLORA HUCKEL-BERRY, will the task (?) of being certain “not” to have her French paper so Mrs. Kitchen can have someone to scold. But I caution her not to try it too often—Pm speaking from experience—ask Katherine. I, WILLARD PUFFER, gladly hand to Charlie Sippola my questionably warm spot in Mr. Ward’s heart because he’ll need it ir chemistry. To Kate Nelson, I, AUDREY HAZEL-TINE, present my simple duty of supporting the future senior class by purchasing two or three candy bars every noon — may her shadow never grow less. To Clifford Osborne (the lucky guy), I LEONARD BLOOD, leave my passion for women and if he keeps this fire burning brightly, I shall also dub him the “Romeo of Rowe.” To Waynie Wheeler, I, RUSSELL KNAUFF, render my facility for dashing into the room lust two seconds before the tardy bell rings, agreeing that he will make it one second if Mrs. Kitchen will kindly allow him to do so. I, JUNE RING, surrender the job of being the “Delilah” of Rowe to Geraldine Kennedy, with the stipulation that she must find another Sampson somewhere other than in Jefferson. But Heaven help her if she gets the razzin’ I got. To Kay Graff, I, EDWARD STEPHENSON, will my brain (?) and my brawn(?) and my super-farm ability with the understanding that he must get himself evicted from the library once a week and have an argument with at least one teacher a day. I, NAOMI BRADY, present my weakness for sailor boys to Dot Rapose. I’ll sympathize with her when she’s left to sit at home while the boats are out. I, ROBERT FRAME, grant to Emerson Page all of my prevailing chemistry memories involving my quips and cranks plus the broken test tubes and the everlasting smells which issue forth from the lab. I, VERA BLAKESLEE, allot my proficiency (and I DO mean technique) of speechlessness to Muriel Ericksen. May she have more success than I. To William Greenfield, I, ROBERT GAUS, assign my position as Mrs. Kitchen’s joy and consolation with the understanding that he should keep her reminded of the previous senior class (and me). I, LAVERNA HELMBRECHT, bequeath to Louise Carey all my different coughs and giggles—very effective too—as I won’t have need of them now that I am grown. I, JAMES WALTERS, will my petite niche by the fountain near 307 to Bob Herb only on the condition that he and Ruth are to occupy it every noon and all other convenient times (without getting caught.) To Helen Fisch, I, MILDRED TURNER, hand over my flarey temper—as you might need it—but I have found that it gets a person no place fast. To Altha Bates, I, MURIEL QUINN, present all Sunday nights—personally re- 16 served, provided she and her dandy use them only when Hube and I are busy elsewhere. I, HAROLD BELNAP, transfer with joy to Richard Bunnell all of my beautiful blue “dan-Dees” and red “Fines” in chemistry. I, HELEX-ON-THE-LAKE FOGG, bequeath my rights during school hours on Richie Wheeler to Robby Puffer with the agreement that he keep all the girls away from said Richie. To Phillip Puffer, I, JOHNNY HOLDSON, will my throne—a dirt mound—and as king of the Hillbillies, I command him to keep the future seniors from feudin’ too much during meetings at noon. To Bernice Hershey, I, LOIS WILLIAMS, bequeath my ultra-modern hair styles, which have led me to fame—did I say something? Here is the formula, wash it once a month, curl on one and one-half inch strips of bright red and green cloth, allow to dry, comb into curls—come to school and let the boys pull it out—result: hair-do of the future. I, RICHARD TAYLOR, hand that unde-finable “something” which makes me the Robert Taylor of Rowe to Gene Spieldenner. To Bernadene Yusko, I, RUTH SCULLY, leave all my excursions to Yankee Lake with the agreement that it is to be Phil who takes her there, as Richard of Jefferson did me. So that the tradition of having at least one sailor in the Senior class, I, CHARLES RILEY, award this trying assignment to Fred Hirsimaki. If he maintains this tradition faithfully I shall give him another prize possession that he should appreciate— that of postponing appointments, but “Re member Pearl Harbor.” I, MABLE SMITH, lavish on Delores Davis exactly forty-one pounds and ten and one-fourth ounces as I have heard she needs a little excess ballast and I really don’t need it—or do I ? I, ALBERT HUBBARD, impart with my many dates with “overtown” girls to Archie Buie. May he have as many classy times as I—you see I must settle down to just one •blond, two brunettes, and one redhead now. To Betty Jack Wright, I, AUDREY CLINE, donate my original tittering as I must be a lady from no on out in the cold, cold world. May it get her into as much trouble as it did me. I, DORIS BUNNELL, turn over to Harriet Smith my bespoken honor of having all the mirrors I need. But in investigation she is conceded the wee sum of 15; one in each book, one in every coat pocket, two in her locker, and three in her purse. To Grace Hall, I, HAZEL KIRKWOOD, offer my chemistry book in hopes that she will open it more than I did. If she carrys out this trivial mission faithfully, I am sure Mr. Ward will appreciate it. To Christine Jones, I, ELOISE EVANS, grant my high rank in the United States Navy, provided she leaves the sailor with a label “hands off” alone. Beach is reserved for me. I, WALTER CHAMPLIN, bequeath my technique of being the blushing senior of Rowe to John Mononen. If he loses this trait, he must turn it over to someone else more adept at the business of blushing. To Esther Montgomery, I, “Big” DOROTHY BROWNE, will my graceful art of ballet dancing. On an after thought she had better practice every day, but be sure to do this on the ground floor. I, MONA WARD, bequeath exactly 4 and 1-2 inches of my waistline and 3 inches of my height to Betty Hall, I am positive she doesn’t need it. To Ida Mae Jones, I, FAYE STACK, surrender my willowy figure with the stipulation that she has to drink one pint of milk every noon plus one orange, and at least one candy bar, and stand on her head in the northeast corner of the gym. I, MARIAN COLE, will my talent as the Bette Davis of Rowe to Jean Conway—May she participate in as many activities as I have. To David Jacobs, I, JUNIOR ASHBY bequeath the position of the Nelson Eddy of the Senior class, I hope they don’t laugh at you as much as they did at me when I sang. I, VIRGINIA SPENCER, bequeath the enjoyable (ha, ha) job of writing the Senior class will to everyone who thinks he is unfit for the undertaking. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names this 28th day of May in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Forty-two. SIGNED: Class of ’42 Attorney—Virginia Spencer WITNESSES SEAL 17 ...SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One bright day, May 28, 1950 to be exact, I was sitting in my cubby hole of an office marked, “Miss Bristol, Superintendent, Rowe Memorial Hospital ' dreaming of days long since past when there came a knock on the door. Bulling my legs off the desk and parking my gum under the chair for future use, 1 bellowed, “Come in! In walked a student nurse, Mildred Turner, who having gone through three colleges, Princeton, Harvard and Yale disguised as a man had finally found her true profession, holding her patients’ hands. “ upey, she cried, “there’s been an accident out front. As we dashed out with stretchers across our backs, I supposed that that lazy janitor and ambulance driver, Floyd Batchelor, was sleeping again as he used to do in study hall at Rowe High. Once outside we found Keith Anderson, buried beneath the debris of his ancient 1928 car, “Hayrack,” with his girl friend the glamour girl of the screen, Hedy L. Brown or if you prefer, Dorothy Jane Brown, beside him. After lugging these two into private rooms, I stopped in to see Mrs. Howie Mast who was visiting her three children who had pedicurus, a new disease of the feet. Mrs. Mast had been our farmer Faye Stack until a wintry day in 1942 when she had said, “Yeah, man. The day’s work had tired me so I decided to go to a movie. As 1 passed out the door 1 gazed again at the plaque,“This hospital donated by Edward Stevenson to his native city, Conneaut. Ed had become a multimillionaire you know. At the show “The Fleacatcher,” I saw Richard Taylor-ed pants playing the leading role of the hero and his heroine, Patrio Nelson. Patrio or Patricia had continued her stage life after her tremendous success as Elaine in our senior play at Rowe. The film story of “The Fleacatcher had been scribbled off by Willard Puffer. Mr. Puffer had written two best sellers, “What Happens to Bed-Bugs When You Step on Them and “The Case of the Crook With B. O. After leaving the theater I stopped at the “Ye Olde Browne-Brady Cookie Shoppe where Dorothy K. Browne and Naomi Brady had gone in cahoots and were chiseling people by using sawdust instead of graham Hour in their cookies. I asked Dot what had become of Audrey Cline and Hazel Kirkwood and she told me to take a gander out in the kitchen. There to my amazement I saw Hazel parked on a chair kneading dough with her feet and with great tears rolling down her cheeks. She kindly informed me that Nick and Dote were too broke to buy salt for the bread so she had to supply it with her salty tears. Audrey Cline was standing on her head drilling holes in bread and drawing out the insides to use as biscuit dough. Leaving the four chiselers I sauntered along Main Street when I saw a sign above Peltons marked “Come in and see Vera Blakeslee from Broadway ballet dance and receive a lollipop free. By the Sugar Bowl I met the former Muriel Quinn now Mrs. H. Todd dragging three tots by the arms. All were screaming for ice cream, including Muriel so 1 invited them all inside where we found Harold “Dutch Wiley and his wife Shirley running the joint. Muriel whispered, “He must have learned the business hanging around here so much in his senior year at school. Departing hence, I traversed toward the City Hall where our old pal, Russell Knauff was sitting on the mayor’s chair. Russ was puffing on a vile smelling se-gar and had a prop under his stomach to keep it in place. Remembering how Russell would dash in the room fifteen seconds before the tardy bell would ring, I wondered how in the world he ever got to his meetings on time. I went in to speak to him and his two secretaries Mona Ward and Laverna iHelmbrecht. Mona and Laverna were still old pals and they went to their work each morning in their plane, which was now parked on the top of the city hall. Leaving the sitting hall I strolled into the park where Robert Frame, home on furlough from the Navy was sitting in the fish pond teaching the goldfish to use a periscope as they swam. As we stood talking, along came Leonard Blood and Charles Devereaux swinging their billy clubs. Yes, in these two mighty graduates of Rowe lay the hope of 18 Conneaut. Their main duty was to help beautiful women over the curbs. As I walked on I saw Mable Smith and her third husband wheeling a baby carriage. Her latest husband came from Springfield I was told. It seems that most of my Rowe High girl friends were married. Speaking of marriage I remembered that my old pal Virginia Spencer was also married and lived down on the bank of Lake Erie. Bob had built her a home high on the hill and had given her a telescope for a present so that she could watch for his boat. Because she loved candy so much (remember her candy bars at noon?) he had had a candy factory built next door for her. Hearing a great noise above my head I looked up and read in sky writing, “Fly with John Holdson at the Municipal Airport.” John was an old bachelor, having lost his faith in women. No wonder! How Dorothy K. Browne used to bat him around during the noon period! Getting into my kiddy car (cal's having gone out of style with the war) I heard a boat whistle. That reminded me that Charles Riley and Albert Hubbard were captains on their own ships. It was rumored that they were jealous of each other and that every time their boats, “The Suzy Q” and “The Big Apple,” met they bumped each other. Say, speaking of men in uniform, Robert Gaus became the toughest sergeant in the U. S. Army. They called him “Leatherneck” behind his back. Walt Champlin had rapidly made his way up in the world by marrying the captain’s daughter. They created a new post especially for him called Co-Captain. In my kiddy-car I turned on the radio to hear my favorite program “Let’s have faith,” by the Reverend Paul Whipple and his wife June Ring, who had told us many times in her senior year that she was going to marry no one but a minister, but she couldn’t quite give up the farm so she and Paul lived on their farm in Silent City between their engagements. Tuning in on station R-O-W-E I heard the crooning voice of Doris Bunnell who, after putting Jimmy asleep in his own little room, exercised her vocal chords by hog calling over the radio. After Doris had finished there was a debate given by Eloise Evans and Marian Cole, both running for president of the U. S. The president that we had had when we were seniors had left a will stating that the next president should come from Rowe. Not wishing to disappoint him these two girls had volunteered to run. Of course the whole world cheered when they did so. Stopping at “Pierre’s Beauty Parlor,” (or in plain English, Jimmy Walters’) for one of those new coiffures called “Swing a gig,” I met Dorothy Kopp and Audrey Hazeltine, now both farmers’ wives, Dorothy living in Sandy Creek and Audrey in Monroe Center, her old stamping ground. As I sat near the window, Ashby’s dairy truck went past. I could understand why Junior had gone into the milk business. Making the round collecting, he’d be shore to meet some pretty gals! Just outside the window stood a woman on a soapbox yelling, “Women of America, keep your toe nails trimmed and save the peelings for defense. Leaning out to tell her that the war had been over for five years, I saw that it was old “Skull,” Ruth Scully. Knowing that it would be useless to argue, I withdrew my head afraid that it might be hit by some of the rotten tomatoes being thrown around. Across the street was the dress shop, “Take It or Leave It,” run by Rose Prolong and her manager, Flora Huckleberry. These two madamoiselles obtained their latest styles from the greatest designer of all times, the one and only Helen Fogg of New York, Paris and Boston. I never purchased my gowns there, the styles were too extreme. I had heard that one of their customers had left the shop with one of their purple, black and orange gowns on and had instantly been run over by a truck. The driver thought she was a stop sign. As it was becoming dusk, I thought that I would scram back to my shack in the flats, designed by Richard Springer, builder of new homes, and listen to “Butch” Belnap under the management of “Sis” Williams, fight Joe Louis for the third time. “Butch’s motto is “Never Say Die.” Cruising up Route 20 by the Gulf Station I hit a bump. I sighed as I thought of what Mr. Hershey used to tell us in class, “What this town needs is new blood.” And now, my creaking bones told me that the town was still the same and that our class, no matter how great and famous it had become, had still neglected to fix the bumps.

To start the year rolling we presented the mystery “The Black Derby” which turned out to be the hit of the year. The play was a double barreled mystery nd turned out quite different from what was to be expected. Three cheers for the participants. Who was it that was chosen on the all county basketball team and gained the highest points for the team? No one but our own Dwane Wheeler and close runner up was Fred Hirsimaki Eleven juniors received a cappela pins and one is the proud possessor of a Pilot Light Pin. Not only is our class represented in these but in all activities in the school. Breaking an old tradition we are the first class to wear our school rings in our junior year, and how proudly we display our school emblem, the Viking head. 20 Jeanne Phllley Charlea Sippola KInii Kenatle John Moimmicii Shirley Ilraneli Vivian Iwine Kelieeeu W'riuht Jean TIiiin Flir.nlx'f li lloule l� orU Kopp (■race llall Florence I'arriw Havhl Jacob Arlene Sehlaleh I Isle «ahel Dorothy ltap M Kutli Walter Wary Kins: Hetty Wright Margaret lluie Kathryn ‘Imoii Helen ('lark l.iilu Potter PliylllM Herhel . . .JUNIORS The seniors were our guests at a colorful prom which was held in the school auditorium on May 13. We—David Jacobs, Jeanne Conway and Bryce Bryant—acted as representatives for our class in the one act play contest which won in this district. Taking part in the radio play over WICA were Bill McCrone as student announcer and Charlie Sippola as Benjamin Franklin. Those elected into the National Honor Society from our class were Elizabeth Hogle, Grace Hall, and Charlie Sippola. They were presented their pins at a formal initiation held at Jefferson. To guide us through this year of achievements we selected as our executives Philip Puffer, president; Bryce Bryant, vice president; Christine Jones secretary; and Ruth Walters, treasurer. 21 . . . FRESHMEN The Freshies after being initiated and becoming full-fledged members of the high school no longer held back but became known in all school activities. They were represented on the basketball team, a cappella choir, Pilot Light and other activities. Officers elected to head the class were president, Richard Wheeler; vice-president, Dorothy Cook; secretary, Altha Bates; treasurer, Marjorie Tinney.

SOPHOMORES The Sophomores started the year with a bang. In October they decorated the gym for the Halloween party and made programs for the St. Patrick Day Dance sponsored by the Student Council. To add money to their treasury they sponsored bake sales and collected sales stamps. They were guided through this successful year by Dean Scully, president; Barbara Kaiser, vice president; Shirley Blood, secretary; and Gertrude Shumake, treasurer. They sponsored a skating party for the high school— the first one to be held for a long time—which was a great success. 22 BASKRTIIAM, Hack Row: Harold Wiley, David Jacobs, Charles Sippola, Frank Fogg, Coach Charles Hirshey, Richard Taylor, D w a n e Wheeler, Richard Wheeler.

The Viking quintet kept up the Rowe tradition of a spirited, well-coached basketball team, by winning 19 out of 22 games. Their defensive play was outstanding in that it held its worthy opposition to a 24.5 average per game, the lowest in the history of the school, while themselves rolling pp an average of 39.5 points per game. The starting lineup consisted of tour juniors and one senior plus several freshmen and sophomore prospects. Their excellent play revealed bright prospects for next year. The only two league losses came at the hands of Edgewood and North Kingsville, the latter went on to take the championship. Both losses were by close scores. In the tourney the Vikings showed their class by winning five straight games to take the coveted trophy. They gained it by defeating Colebrook, Pierpont, Edgewood, Orwell and overpowering the strong North Kingsville quintet in the finals. Thereby they qualified for the Orange sectionals. In the first game there with dark-horse Geneva, the hard-playing Rowe boys ran into some tough luck and were finally defeated 33-25. Duane Wheeler led the scoring for the year with 192 and was followed by another junior, Fred Hirsimaki, with 179; Wiley placed third with 104. Lettermen for the season were Duane Wheeler, Richard Wheeler, Fred Hirsimaki, David Jacobs, Robert Puffer, John Holdson, Dick Springer, James Walters, Richard Taylor, and Harold Wiley. The strong Viking Reserves, winners of 11 out of 13 games, give promise of strong teams in the future. Scoring was led by Charles Sippola, a junior. Thus Charles Hirshey, Rowe’s capable coach, ended another successful season. In the past four seasons, Rowe has won 72 and lost 15 games, scoring 3440 points to their opponents’ 2351.

Having phenomenal success during the regular season, the Viking nine entered the A. C. H. S. A. A. tournament, and with Fred Hirsimaki’s shut-out pitching and Dwane Wheeler’s circus-catching battled to victory by crushing, in order, North Kingsville, Edgewood, New Lyme, and Andover in the finals. By virtue of their tourney victories, the baseball team is eligible for the Kent tourney. The eagle-eyed batters swatted the apple for a team average of .245 for the ’41-42 season. They were led by Harold (Dutch) Wiley, who slugged the ball to the tune of .318, and was followed closely by Rich Wheeler with .278 and Bob Holdson with .263. Lettermen were Rob Puffer, Holdson, Wiley, Dwane Wheeler, Rich Wheeler, Walters, Hirsimaki, Knauff and McCrone. 25 INTRAMURAL SPORTS Boys’ basketball—The winner of a hotly contested intramural basketball crown was a team lead by flashy Russell Knauff. It also included level-headed Chuck, pivot-man Bill Neal, dribbling little Jerry Puffer, and scrapper Edward Stephenson. Girls' basketball — The Sophomore girls showed their power by winning over the other class teams. They were led by versatile Mid Maki. The seniors came up a close second. Ping Pong—By virtue of his final game victory over Frank Fogg, little Robbie Puffer now wears the crown of “The ’42 King of the Table.” He won his title by defeating twelve other competitors entered in the tournament. Softball—-Wiley twirled his mates to victory in intramural softball. The winners received a softball medal. Football—The juniors triumphed over the seniors in a thrilling final game to nose out their upper classmen for the football crown. | CLASS POEM ; } Twelve joyous years have swiftly passed, Since first we entered Rowe.

The membership was again thirty-six, fourteen members of whom were new members this year. The choir held an initiation party at the school last fall and a Saint Valentine's party in February at Mrs. Wellan’s home. Personal appearances were made at the East Conneaut Church, Ashtabula Baptist Church, West Springfield Church and also at a Junior MacDowell program in Conneaut. Thirteen choir pins were awarded this year to juniors and seniors. Those receiving them were Grace Hall, Jeanne Conway, Christine Jones, Ruth Walters, Esther Montgomery, Mary Ring, Phyllis Herbel, Elizabeth Baird, Harriet Smith, Vivian Lane, Robert Gaus, Paul Whipple, and Philip Puffer. ___RADIO PLAY Under the direction of Miss Frances Woodworth the radio playlet, “Benjamin Franklin,” one of the series of educational dramas sponsored annually by the Parent Teacher Association was presented successfully over W. I. C. A. on January 28th by Rowe students. It was based on that shrewd old philosopher’s wise sayings, which are as applicable now as they were two hundred years ago. Six of our aspiring actors braved mike fright to participate. Charles Sippola managed for once to keep serious as Dr. Franklin. Johnny Holdson was anxious to find a solution to the penny saved is a penny earned problem. Robert Frame had a terrible time maintaining his dignity with Ruth Scully and Mildred Turner asking those silly questions; while Bill McCrone acted as announcer. 28 BAND First How: David Fisher, Howard Irish.

The Orchestra took its accustomed place before the stage for all the cJass plays and gave us music for our marching feet at assemblies. Mildred Kultti, Barbara Kaiser, Altha Bates, Jane Hibler, Gordon Turner, Doris Joslin and Dorothy Cook played solos at the Macdonald County Contest in March. The Band was enthusiastically received at Ashtabula High School where it gave a concert. It played at the school exhibit in May and its stirring martial airs helped to spur on Rowe’s Vikings at home basketball games. 29 FRENCH ....CLUB LE TRIANGLE MYSTIQUE The members of Le Triangle Mystique should by now be experts in that French Bingo game—Jouer. All looked forward to times when members entertained the club in their homes, and programs including French songs, plays, games, and pertinent reports, and last but not least, refreshments were enjoyed by all. We’ll remember Virginia and Flora struggling with the French alphabet in Anagrams and those loud choruses coming in on the “Marchons, marchons” part of La Marseillaise. Meetings were held once a month with Ruth Scully as president; Junior Ashby, vice-president; Grace Hall, treasurer; and Harriett Smith, secretary. The sponsor is Mrs. Ruth Kitchen, and Miss Frances Woodworth joined our meetings. FRENCH CM B First Row: Ruth Scully. Virginia Spencer, Katherine Bristol, Dorothy K. Browne, Mildred Turner.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB Taking a prominent part in activities this year was the High School Boys’ Industrial Arts Club under Mr. Hopper’s direction. During weekly meetings the organization enjoyed making various interesting projects of wood, metal, and plastic, one of the outstanding being archery sets. Some of the twenty-six members also proudly exhibit hunting knives of their own construction. Kenneth Roberts, the president, conducted the business meetings; Albert Hubbard was elected vice-president, and Omar Kirk acted as secretary and treasurer. 30 For the third consecutive year Miss Drown has directed a Rowe winner in. the district one act play contest and for the first time in Rowe’s history, a winner in the County finals. This year’s play entitled “Life With Willie,” was judged the winner in a group of four district plays at Kingsville on March 13 and was also given first place in a group of four district winners at Jefferson March 20. “Life With Willie” portrays a typical family scene in which Willie is trying to prepare a speech for the P. T. A. program that evening. As all comedies have a happy ending so “Life With Willie” finds all is well as the curtain falls. The cast includes Mr. Taylor, the father, Junior Ashby; Mrs. Taylor, the mother, Marion Cole; Willie, Bryce Bryant; Susie, his sister, Shirley Blood; Henry, his brother, David Jacobs; Janice Carter, Willie’s girl friend, Jeanne Conway.

As usual the organization conducted both the roll call within our own school and the Senior Red Cross call in East Conneaut. Among other projects were making favors for the hospital at Christmas, filling gift boxes for foreign lands, adopting a family for which a happy Yuletide was provided, hemming ninty towels for the British War Relief and making bags for our armed forces. No doubt the main undertaking was knitting an afghan for the soldiers. As the year drew near its end, tiny Red Cross nurse dolls made from yarn were sold.

LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, under the direction of Miss Frances Woodworth, was a newcomer this year. Members met every Tuesday to learn how to shelve and catalog books, and care for library equipment. They exchanged reports on interesting books and poetry. Featured—and especially enjoyed—were those luscious noontime feasts held in the library. The members gave an unusual assembly of skits, stories and songs based on popular books. Keys were presented to all charter members who passed a test in library management. CANDY SALES The sight of two senior girls (with sandwich in hand) dashing madly down the hallway at 12:12 is a common one in Rowe. The seniors; Eloise Evans, Patty Nelson, Lois Williams, Ruth Scully, Muriel Quinn, Marion Cole, La Verna Helmbrecht, Mona Ward, Vera Blakeslee, and Doris Bunnell will long remember swallowing their lunches practically whole in order to wait on the crowds at the candy counter. The collective “sweet tooth” of Rowe’s students has resulted in the sale of over five thousand candy bars. In addition to the work of selling, the girls assisted by Mr. Deevers counted the money and took inventory of the stock. The members of the high school's “Art and Crafts Club” have been trying their hand at plaster-casting this year. Rubber molds of dogs, rabbits, angels, bears, owls, and Indian heads were purchased. These were filled with plaster of paris and the resulting figures were attractively painted. Another interesting project was making wooden plaques. 1 !

The aims of the club this year have been to give each member some experience in dramatic entertainment and to emphasize the importance of selecting carefully the motion pictures we see. A humorous one-act play “Unaccustomed As I Am” was presented in assembly and was also given for the Rotary Club. The cast included Marion Cole, Mildred Turner, Bryce Bryant, Irus Kent, and Joe Greenfield. A better speech play “Applicants” was presented for the English classes. Willard Puffer, June Ring, Junior Ashby, David Jacobs, Donna M. Clark, Dorothy Rapose, Bill Philley, and Ben Roberts participated. “Betty Behave,” a character study, was successfully enacted before The Mother’s Club and The Child Welfare League by Barbara Kaiser, Helen Fisch, Bernadine Yusko, and Shirley Blood. A weiner roast, a Christmas Party and program, a trip to the Cleveland Playhouse to see George Bernard Shaw’s famous play “St. Joan” and the attendance at the movie “Journey to Jerusalem” were among other activities of the club. Officers are president, Junior Ashby; vice-president, Marion Cole; secretary, June Ring; and treasurer, Phyllis Herbel. 33 PILOT LIGHT Each month a twelve-page issue of the high school newspaper under the name “Pilot Light” has found its way into the hands of approximately two hundred and sixty student subscribers. News, gossip, jokes, features, sports and art found prominent places in each edition.

Feature editors included Ruth Scully, Mildred Turner, Doris Bunnell, Lois Williams, Patty Nelson, Eloise Evans, Helen Fogg, Dwane Wheeler, and Willard Puffer. Sponsors were Miss Frances Woodworth and Mr. Paul C. Dcevers. A PILOT LIGHT First Row: Francos Mam.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB This year Miss Hunnell has organized three Home Economics Clubs for the girls of the seventh and eighth grades and high school and also a boys organization. The boys spent most of their time proudly demonstrating the fact that men can shine in the culinary art too. Candy and cookies were especially popular. The seventh and eighth grade club under the leadership of Doris Joslin as president, and Patty Hayes as secretary, learned to prepare simple foods for the first semester and made personal clothing during the second semester. The high school girls divided their club into two teams and worked under a system of points for each project completed. The losing team entertained the winners with a party at the end of the year. Among projects undertaken by the girls were towels for the Red Cross and utility bags for the United States armed forces. 1941 and 42 officers were as follows: president, Muriel Erickson; vice-president, Mona Ward; secretary, Bernice Hershey; treasurer, Dorothy Cook. 34 On April 24, the Senior Class grave a capacity audience something: spectacular to look at when “Lunatics at Large” was presented. The setting of this rollicking three-act mystery comedy took place amid crashes of thunder and flashes of lightning. The plot was centered around a playwright, Don Cutter, who operated a “nuthouse” on the side and his lovely but helpless wife, Lucille, were two likeable young people with the thought of Amos Burke, a heartless villain of long standing, always in their minds. The “nuts” of the “nuthouse” included Mr. Hyde with ‘He’s a spy’ and his hideous laugh; Priscilla the bloodthirsty character who had a mania for wanting to kill someone; John Alden after Indian scalps; and Lady Macbeth the victim of Shakespeare and with her speeches taken from Shakespeare. Mrs. Adair an evil, mysterious character posing as the mother of a slightly cracked girl Elaine in order to gain entrance in the Cutter house to obtain some money. Wing—the house servant performed good detective work and could find a Confuscious saying for any occasion. Inspector Britt the competent but unintelligent officer solved the mystery in the end in a hilarious way. Other characters that are involved and add to the effectiveness of the play are Gregg and Claire Stevens and Dr. Janet. Praise for their effective performance goes to the cast including Katherine Bristol, Helen Fogg, Doris Bunnell, Mildred Turner, Audrey Hazeltine, Patty Nelson, Lois Williams, Harold Wiley. Junior Ashby, Johnny Holdson, Richard Springer, Willard Puffer, Robert Frame and Paul Whipple.

PLAY ‘The Black Derby” (yes that’s black, not brown) a three act mystery play, was presented by the juniors before a large and appreciative audience on October 17th. Miss Mina Drown and Miss Pearl Hunnell had the difficult job of directing (and restraining) the cast. It included Bryce “Sherlock Holmes” Bryant as detective Wimple, Phyllis Herbel as the perfect (?) maid, Cora Kipper; Richard Bunnell and Jeanne Conway as brother and sister; Philip Puffer as that coed’s dream, Tom Randall; and Grace Hall as a debutante. David Jacobs, as Mickey, pestered the unfortunate Wimple, while Jean Louise Titus and Ben Roberts enacted the housekeeper and caretaker-chauffeur, respectively. After many amusing and “spooky” episodes the identity of the mysterious hooded ghost was finally revealed and the play ended, as all good plays should, happily for all. 35 Math, wizards • Double Trouble • Junior vs. Senior • Three Stooges • we dedicate • Siren • Our President • Eric Strongheart • Skull • Curves get me • Little John • Knaw-mumble-grunt • Charles Boyer • Meller- dramer • Conference table • Coy • Proud Poppa • Minstrel days Champs • Pretty Maiden 9 Where’s Frame? • Pause that refreshes • Time- out. 36 ol6—“is it not?” • Moider • What’s cookin’? • Precision • Discussion Center • For whom the bell tolls • Air Raid • U-gh-h • Mine’s better • Day Dreamer • French Frys • Little Red Schoolhouse • Fill ’er up • Birds of a feather • Hyde and Boone • Broken wing • All “A’s” • Contemplation • Sno Sound • Wits need sharpening, too • Let’s go—team • Sing Me a Song. . . . Student Council Picture on Page 32 The Student Council, newly-formed this year, was organized to promote coordination between the various classes. Membership in the council includes the four officers of each class, one additional elected representative from the junior class, and two from the senior class. The Council planned all-school activities such as the St. Patrick’s Day Party, and held meetings once a month, under the sponsorship of Mr. Holdson to discuss problems of interest to the school. Officers were John Holdson, president; Richard Wheeler, vice-president, and Ruth Scully, secretary-treasurer. The Council hopes to continue and increase its activities next year. To study trigonometry and work problems in mathematics Rowe’s Einsteins met every Tuesday and Friday under the direction of Miss Marguerite Tobin. Officers are Charles Sippola, president; Richard Bunnell, vice-president; and Frank Fogg, secretary-treasurer. The members decided to contribute money ordinarily spent for the Saga picture toward construction of a transit. Club members will make the transit and it will be used by math classes of school. The Conservation Club, sponsored by Mr. William Saari, spent an interesting year studying habits of various birds and animals. To prove that they carry out the true spirit of conservation, the members constructed six feeding stations for birds and animals in Conneaut’s Game Propagation Area. Meetings were held every Tuesday activity period. Officers of the club were Charls Sippola, president; Richard Armstrong, vice-president; and Richard Wheeler, secretary-treasurer. . . .
