Saga Year 1 94 3 ______________WWW M ---------------B DEDICATION To those who serve To those of Rowe High School who are now serving in the Armed Forces of our Country, we proudly dedicate this 1943 edition of our Viking Saga. They are on far-flung battlefields now, willingly offering their lives, that we in America may have the Freedom and Privileges which our forefathers fought for so gallantly. These fighting men of ours have left their homes and families to answer the call of our Country. Those of the faculty who have gone are Mr. Curie, Mr. Halchin, Mr. Saari, and Mr. Dodge. Our alumni, numbering one hundred and forty-nine, have gone into the great fight and are now serving in all parts of the world, fighting to protect the American way of life. And so it is to these teachers and alumni of Rowe High School that we reverently wish to dedicate our annual and this way show a small part of our appreciation of their sacrifices for us.

For us this meant four schools, located at Amboy, Farnham, Monroe, and East Conneaut. .Jane, Evelyn, and Libby know the true meaning of “the little red schoolhouse”; fond memories take them back to the one-roomed Monroe school with the double seats, one teacher at the controls, and early morning walks to a neighbor’s house for the daily water supply. Perhaps these recollections can’t be matched by the rest of us but nevertheless, we, too, have memories of grade school. Kate will never forget those daily escapades with the new fourth grade teacher as she was in the process of becoming acquainted with her. Those who saw the operetta here at East Conneaut would never have recognized cute Peter Rabbit as our own Phil Puffer. Charlie still blushes as he thinks of the time in the seventh grade that he was mistaken for a coat on the coat-rack by one of the girls who needed some support while she was attempting to remove her snow-pants. Ben and his speedy green convertible were a familiar sight at Amboy. Mary was the athletic star at Farnham in those days and she is still known for her skill in basketball. Somehow we managed to live through these days until “the day” came at last when we were ushered into the portals of Rowe High. As “green frosh” we found refuge with Mr. Curie until the fatal Friday arrived when we were to be initiated. That night nothing could save us, we figured, but by some miracle Betty Wright got “Your Are My Sunshine” yodeled out, and Shirley Brauch managed to push that peanut across the floor with her nose. The rest of us suffered as much but actually we felt like full-pledged Rowe freshmen after the party. Christine presided over us the rest of the year. Her helpers were Jeanne Conway, vice president; Jane Ross, secretary; and Grace Hall, treasurer. As sophomores in Mr. Saari’s home room we chose a newcomer—Harriett Smith, for our president. Bill McCrone was elected vice president; Dorothy Rapose, secretary; and Grace Hall, treasurer. That year we received our first real taste of high school life—term papers, posters, newspapers, and bookkeeping. We held a Thanksgiving party and were joint hosts with the freshmen at an April Fool’s party. Our receipts were netted chiefly by sales tax stamps and bake sales. But it was in our junior year that we blossomed into full bloom and buckled down to show “good ole Rowe High” that we wanted recognition. Our class was divided for the first time in our school life, but in this case the house was not divided, against itself. This time our home room teachers were Miss Hunnell and Miss Drown. Our “chief” was Phil and a good one did he make; to aid him were Bryce Bryant as vice president; Christine Jones, secretary; and Ruth Walters, treasurer. Our first success of the year was our junior play, “The Black Derby,” a double-barreled mystery which revealed many surprising things to its appreciative audience. The eleven reasons for our play's success were Jeanne Conway, Phyllis Herbel, Grace Hall, Jean Louise Titus, Dave Jacobs, Kenneth Roberts, Philip Puffer, Bryce Bryant, Richard Bunnell, Miss Drown, and Miss Hunnell. Because of a shortage of war materials ours was the first class to receive school rings when we were juniors, thus breaking an old tradition. But this only added to our pride—being able to show the famed Viking head a year early. Jewelry was coming our way, not only in the way of rings but also in pins—eleven of us received a cappella pin, one a Pilot Light pin, and many received library keys. Little did we know that we were fortunate enough to have the great man Ben Franklin—alias Charlie Sippola—in our class until the radio play was presented over WICA. The “Honorites” selected for the National Honor Society representing the juniors, 13 ► While the rest of us were enjoying our were Elizabeth Hogle, Grace Hall, and Charlie Sippola. (We’re mighty proud of them, too.) If the spring fever bug: hadn’t already been around it was biting hard by May 17, for that was the date of our super-gala-prom. It was carried off to the theme of a garden which was complete even to the pools, and the bridge. Large May baskets were suspsended from the ceiling, holding balloons which were released during the evening. In the music room was a similar .scene but with a wishing well and all its accessories—yes, even the frog. But these days were not to last forever and before we knew it we were again being seated alphabetically, but now by Mrs. Kitchen in room 307. Then they called us seniors. Again Philip Puffer was elected president; Waynie Wheeler, vice president; Elsa Kesatie, secretary; and Grace Hall, treasurer. As soon as we came to, we realized that this was the year we had been waiting for since we were freshmen. Now was the time to get revenge on those poor scared freshies. We ruled with an iron hand so they were forced to squirm but not squawk as they removed their first layer of outer clothing and continued with their sentence. But “all’s well that ends well” and this ended well so we felt our cordial welcome had been appreciated. The Pilot Light was edited by Phyllis Herbel assisted by some other able-bodied seniors; namely, Elsa Kesatie, Kathryn Nelson, Ethel Palagyi, Esther Montgomery, Harriett Smith, Becky Wright, Grace Hall, Jean Louise Titus, and Waynie Wheeler. Can we ever forget the third and fourth periods on Friday when the Pilot Light came off the press. Typewriters were flying, the mimeograph machine was rolling, and the stapler was banging. Such a racket! We hope that next year’s staff can run it off as quickly as we were forced to do at times. vacation last summer, Charlie Sippola and Richard Bunnell were attempting to learn how to run the government when they were elected president. They were fortunate enough to be among those selected to attend Buckeye Boys’ State at Delaware. None of the other activities lacked our two cents, either. Where would those Rowe “champs” be without our representative in the all county basketball team, Duane Wheeler, and his friendly rival, Fred Hirsi-maki? Of course, there are our other let-termen, Phil Puffer, Charlie Sippola, and David Jacobs. The a cappella choir probably will miss next year the official tuner-upper, Christine Jones; Harriett Smith, Esther Montgomery, Mary Ring, Vivian Lane, Grace Hall, Ruth Walters, Phyllis Herbel, Elizabeth Baird, and Philip Puffer will also bid the choir adieu. Remember, too, how we used to try to keep in step with the music being played by the orchestra in assembly? Someone will have to take our place in there and in the band also. There was no need to get excited if you saw two flying figures dashing wildly down the hall at noon. It was merely the girls who sold candy. Those super-saleswomen included Kathryn Nelson, Rebecca Wright, Grace Hall, Evelyn Cole, Dorothy Rapose, Ruth Walters, Jeanne Philley, Christine Jones, Elizabeth Hogle, and Harriett Smith. It was rather dubious if we would be able to have a senior play but it was a “must” and so by the cooperation of all we did put it over. Just as quickly as the year had come, it was leaving. Nearly before we realized it, we were choosing our announcements and cards and making plans for class night, baccalaureate, and commencement. It is with regret that we say goodbye to all those who have helped us through the years—to the teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Hold-son, Mr. Torrence and all the others. Senior Class Prophecy I could hear the first robin singing the evening of April 21, 1955, when I laid aside my book, “Gigglin as a Fine Art,” which had been written by those two supercolossal authors, Jeanne Philley and Dorothy Rapose, and decided it was about time to scramble off to that mel-o-dramatic musical, “The Alexandrian Feud.” As you might have guessed from the title, the name of the composer and star in electric lights over the marquee is Christine Flagstaff Jones. As I left my cleverly decorated plastic studio, designed by Helen Clank, and rounded the corner by the drugstore, my eyes were attracted by a “Scrubo Shampoo” sign. Going closer for a better view and for confirmation of my hunch, I saw that the model was Rowe’s glamorous, golden blond, Rebecca Wright. Leaving the show window, I hurried to my destination and arriving there I was greeted by a poster which announced the coming appearance of Beatrice Taylor, premiere danseuse of the American ballet. Dashing into the last available box seat, I saw the curtain rise for the first act. One of my ambitions had been to attend an opera and at iast it had ibeen realized. Pushing my way through the record-breaking crowd, I hastened to Christine’s dressing room, but it was so crowded that I got only the autograph of the wardrobe girl, Evelyn Cole. Among other things she informed me that Christine’s manager is Paul Irish. Leaving the opera house I was struck down by a reckless driver and rushed to a hospital by a kind passer by. Who do you suppose was at the hospital to greet me? None other than Muriel Eric.xsen, acclaimed by a Gallop Poll as the No .1 nurse of 1955; the secret of her tremendous success is the fact that she reads jokes to her patients. I thought, “That’s Murial for you.” I asked her about the other girls who had had ambitions to become a nurse back in 1943. She told me that Harriett Smith had passed her course but the only way she can cure her patients is to hold their hand and sing them lullaibies; as for Donna Mae Clark, at present she is masquerading as ■ a man and studying for her doctor’s degree as a veterinary, at Harvord. After three days of convalescing I decided to strike out for the old home town, Conneaut. On boarding the AA plane, I was greeted by the hostess who turned out to be Kathryn Nelson; on the trip, we swapped bits of news about the old gang and it was from her I learned that Grace Hall had been a June bride and was now feeding Bob her all-bran muffins. Betty Wright, too, is now a very successful farmer’s wife—must be she also took a hint from P. O. I), class and learned to make her own bread. As for Gordon Stoker, he has just been proclaimed the world’s champion corn husker. Ruth Jane Walters would iby now be a rich woman due to her large celery and carrot farm but, alas, she has eaten all the profits and is now 'bankrupt. Since Kathryn had to attend to the demands of her passengers, I asked her to turn on my individual radio; she tuned in to the “Hit Parade” and who do you suppose the tobacco auctioneer was? None other than Kenneth Roberts, the cutter-upper of the class of ’43. The East Conneaut City Airport came all too soon and, after biding Kate good-by, I hailed a taxi and made a beeline for the school. When I had opened the north door, I was sorry I hadnTt brought along some cotton batting—I wondered who in the world could be making such a racket and on sneaking up to the music room door I saw Esther Montgomery teaching a music class and I thought , “No wonder.” My eyes then wandered to the home economic room and its teacher, Elizabeth Hogle. She beck oned for me to come in and began to give me the low-down on the class of ’43. Lawrence Best and James Quinn had gone into cahoots and due to the strict rationing of cow’s milk were successfully raising nanny goats. Elizabeth Baird is down in Washington, I). C., scribbling down shorthand and has just received her golden jubilee four-star medal at three hundred words a minute. I thought it no great wonder considering the way she had gone to town in Mr. Deevers’ shorthand class. The chimes ■ ► 15 brought us back to the home economics 100m as the boys began to stroll in for their sewing class. I noticed that their project was a multicolored “zoot suit.” 1 reluctantly left Elizabeth and got into the elevator to get to the third floor. When i opened the door I was greeted by a very iamiiiar voice shouting, “good, go, will, can, and, he,” and I hurried to see if it could Le Jane Ross’ voice I heard. It was Jane exercising her vocal cords but the racket clidn t oother her any because she was wearing earmuffs. Not wishing to bother her . nowing the kiddies would not like it—I strolled on down the hail but not seeing any more familiar faces 1 went in search of a bunk for the night. Great was my astonishment when I saw an up-to the-minute skyscraper on the site of the old Conneaut Hotel. Deciding that it must be a new hotel, 1 wandered over to ee if I could reserve a room and greater sti.l was my astonishment when I found the , l. prietress to be Elsie Gabel. She ushered me to her best room (I had to take her word ter it) at five dollars a wink. Thinking it was better than a hay stack, I accepted it and then decided to walk down Main Street to see if there were any other changes. As I was strolling along I came upon a sign which urged the reader to learn French in six easy lessens—I wondered how it could be done—from Mile Doris Kopp but I thought if anyone could do it she ought to be the one. Departing hence, I wandered � n towards Woolwcrth’s but I wondered if my eyes were deceiving me, when I saw instead, the sign, “The bine Schlaich Five a:id Dime.” I decided that they must have learned the -business from working after school in Newberry’s store. 1 wandered still further until I reached the City Hall where, of all things, I found my old schoolmate, Jean Louise Titus, resting her size ten, triple A shoes on the mayor’s desk. After chatting for awhile she informed me that the fire fighting demon, Wilbur Hillyer, is her Fire Chief. Just as I was leaving the City Hall the mayoress called for her secretary and I glanced around in time to see Florence Parris dash in. Leaving the City Hall I heard sobs, screaming and yelling and rushing out; I thought it no wonder when I saw a large neon sign across the street which read, ‘Bring your kiddies here while you work and play—Shirley Brauch, proprietress.” Be-iae her establishment 1 noticed the sign of “Jean’s Curel Shop” which I later learned i . the beauty salon of John Mononen, the creator of that new and glamorous coiffure 1 hr ;.uper-Fuzzeroo.” As it was getting dusk, I thought I would pass by the news stand, get a paper and scramble back to my room. Who should . find there grinning from ear to ear but David Jacobs; he had to keep this business on the side line so he would not have to staive between his appearances on Broadway. Me sold me the “Page Special” which is edited by Emerson Page and I soon had no doubt about its editorship when I found every other page upside down—must be he is still thumbing that well-worn little black note book. I settled myself for a nice evening of reading and turning to the front page whose picture should I find but that of the great movie actor, Philip Puffer. On leafing the legend, I learned that he had i.opj.ed into his jeep and eloped from Hollywood w'ith Bernadene. It had come as a surprise to the great mobs of women who ido ized him; even his manager and publicity agent, Richard Bunnell, had been kept in ignorance of his intention. On the sport page 1 was hit in the face by the blazing headline, “FRED HIRSIMAKI SCORES 7‘J,” and I immediately remembered those scores he had rolled up during ’43 and now’ he has broken the world’s record. I was greatly interested in a column, “Snoops With Wanie,” wrhich is jotted down by that great sports writer, Dwane Wheeler—I wondered if his position on the Pilot Light staff had prepared him for the job. Two articles interested me especially: one fea-tuied the great Olympic figure-skating star, EthJ Palagyi, w'ho is at present training at East Lake in North Kingsville for her next engagement; the other informed me that my old pal, Mary Ring, is at present working on a new set of basketball rules between her own spectacular plays on the professional basketball team, “The Lone Riders.” Down at the bottom of the page w'as an article of particular interest—Phyl- ■ ► 16 lis Herbel has just won the title of world’s champion woman wrestler after losing four front teeth—must he she made use of those dumbells Santa Clause Jacobs gave her during the senior Christmas assembly. On turning the page, I saw the column, “Cupid’s Helper” by Jean Miller. There is an argument as to who is more famous, she or Dorothy Dix. I also noticed a picture of tne queerest looking ship and upon reading the article I learned that Charles Sippola had finally achieved his life long ambition cf flying to Mars in his space ship, The Star Dust. Still another article that caught my eye featured Archie Buie, who had joined the Navy on the day of graduation, and has been commissioned an admiral. I sighed as I tossed my paper aside and decided it was about time I get into that bunk that awaited me in the corner. As I crawled under the covers, I thought that even as great and famous as our class had grown we had neglected to make all those changes in our town we had discussed in P. O. D. class. Senior Class Will We, the 1943 Senior Class of Dear Old Rowe High, believing, (or at least hoping) ourselves to be sound of mind and body, do wish to leave this last will and testament behind to serve as a reminder of our sunny faces and winning ways, long after we have passed through these doors for the last time as students, and go out into the ranks of the alumni. And so to begin: As I wouldn’t want to wish it on anyone in particular, I, BETTY WRIGHT, just leave behind my ability to make inopportune remarks. Perhaps Frances Main can handle this trait effectively. My skill for reciting at length in class, I, FRED HIRSiMAKl, grant to Evelyn Karal. It ought not to be hard for her to tay more in class than I ever did. I, DONNA MAE CLARK, impart to that dashing man-about-town, Richard Clark (no relation), some of my excess spirits. May he have the fun out of living that I have. So that the next year’s readers of the PILOT LIGHT may have hair-raising and nerve racking mystery stories, and lesser items of a literary nature, I, ETHEL PA-LA GYI, pass along my job as feature editor to whoever is willing to take the burdensome task. I, LAWRENCE BEST, grant my talent in criminal law to Edward Shumake. If he proves himself worthy of this, he can also have my philosophical nature to supplement the first bequest. To the matter-of-fact Georgiana Kako, I, HARRIETT SMITH, bequeath my credulity. I can’t take it with me out into this cold, cruel world. She might also find use for my Southern accent. I, JEAN MILLER, will my extremely cautious nature to Shirley Blood, and advise her never to come to school if she thinks measles, or maybe mumps, might catch up with her. To whatever junior who thinks himself suited to the task, I, EMERSON PAGE, entrust the job of keeping the senior room supplied with cartoons. Incidentally—find ones that won’t need to be explained. I, WILBUR hILLYER, endow Bill Phil-ley with my pugilistic talent. Ben Roberts can testify to the might of my muscles, when the count of ten. was given him one fifth period in the senior room. My silent, respectful attitude in chemistry, I, CHARLIE SIPPOLA, yield to Richard Armstrong (that is—if he takes the subject). Maybe Mr. Ward will not find it necessary to squelch him as much as he did me. So that Mr. Deevers will have someone to reprimand in Shorthand II, I, FLORENCE PARRIS, will my studiousness in connection with that subject to the junior shorthand whiz, Carol Ward. To Helen Fisch, I, ELIZABETH HOGLE, contribute some of my reserve and lady-like ways. I have plenty, thanks, and I think that Helen can do with some. I, BEATRICE TAYLOR, relinquish my :e 17 ■ visits to Pierpont to whoever might be interested in them. Maybe she can also time her visits when we have only half days of school. To Evelyn Dalrymple, I, ARLENE SCHLAICH, transmit my interest in overtown doings, such as the skating rink. All Wednesdays are presented to her with my compliments. As a reminder of my years spent here, I, SHIRLEY BRAUCH, leave my beautiful red shoes to Pauline Petro. Maybe she will be able to wear them sooner and oftener than I could coax myself to do. After careful, and perhaps tearful, consideration, I, ELIZABETH BAIRD, bestow my bewitching dimples on Flora Hall. I feel sure that the teasing won’t annoy her. To that junior physics student, Edward Moisio, I, DAVID JACOBS, cheerfully give my love of chemistry. If he will open his books three times to my one, Mr. Ward might appreciate him more than he did me. My strong right arm for carrying books home, I, MARY RING, bequeath to some studious junior, such as Ruth Best, who will have need of jt. I admonish Ruth always to remember “business (meaning school work) before pleasure.” I, DOROTHY RAPOSE, bestow my title of “Rosie the Riveter” to Ida Mae Jones. I often wondered if the “roses” that bloom in my cheeks had anything to do with my having this name. I, DWANE WHEELER, will my system for getting to school on time to Iris Kent. He can reform for next year, as I did for this year .... or did I just think that I had reformed ? Although I, PAUL IRISH, didn’t indulge in the pastime so very much, I will tell anyone who wants the method, my tested and proved way for successful study hall sleeping. I, ARCHIE BUIE, transmit my speechlessness in P.O.D. class to David Fisher. Maybe he will be able to express himself satisfactorily, even while under fire from Mr. Holdson. Now that I am going into the big world of grownups, I, ELSIE GABEL, no longer want my little girl talk. So I grant the privilege of using it to Gertrude Shumake, and request that all refrain from teasing. I, RUTH WALTERS, give to any Latin student my rules for successfully doing language lessons at noon. (One tip—better have a couple of smart friends who get their lessons beforehand.) To Marion Braden, I, JANE ROSS, bequeath my knowledge of Creamery milk affairs, so that Mr. Hershey will always have an informat in next year’s Consumer Ed. class. Remember—tell facts just as they are. My perserverance, I, EVELYN COLE, will to Jean Bartlett. If she tries in Shorthand II as hard as I tried, perhaps she, too, can win fame and acclaim. I, VIVIAN LANE, grant to Bernadine Yusko the right to use my pet expression— “I betcha.” Perhaps she can make as good use of it as I did, when arguing with teachers. It's quite effective. “I PHYLLIS HERBEL, do hand over my arduous duties as PILOT LIGHT editor-in-chief to Ruth Akerley, if she can get the position. Best of luck to her in writing to-the-point editorials. To that petite junior, Norman Kezertie, I, GRACE HALL, donate my black and blue socks, with the stipulation that she, at least, keep them in good order. My beautiful blond hair, I, REBECCA WRIGHT, bestow on Neiva Congdon. She might find that tip curl that slips out of place once in awhile very effective in attracting attention. As the sole gifted giggler for this class, I, JEANNE PH1LLEY, will this endearing talent to Barbara Kaiser. Remember, only laugh when everybody else is laughing. To Audrey Kirkwood, I, MURIEL ERICKSEN, leave my unwritten motto— “don’t do any lesson you don’t want to; what you don’t know won’t kill you.” I have been heard to say, quote: I am saving my brain for my old age, unquote. I, ELSA KESATIE, leave behind me to whoever the coming senior class elects for the job next year, my rules and regulations for being a highly successful senior class scribe (secretary to you). I, KENNETH ROBERTS, endow my very original notions of chivalry to Robbie Puffer. Ours is supposed to be an untamed generation, so he can carry on where I left off. To whoever is in need of it, I JOHN MONONEN, transmit my even temper. I hope this bequest will be appreciated by all who have to tread gently near those whose tempers are made of much more inflammable material than mine. I, DORIS KOPP, pass along to Dora Zeppettella my ability to get such an imposing list of grades. But, Dora, budget your time well, because the midnight oil is rationed. My beautiful rosy red blush, I, GORDON STOKER, will to most anybody, though I don’t know who would want it. Doggonit, I bet that I am blushing right now. I, CHRISTINE JONES, part with my ahead-of-the-times notions of school styles. They are for the use of any junior, for whatever purpose her discretion indicates. In order that the kids next year will know some of the local dirt, I, KATHRYN NELSON, reveal my “Katy Kate” methods to Delores Davis. Don’t print anything that will cause libell suits, though. I, ESTHER MONTGOMERY, leave behind my artistic temperament to Dorothy Norton, to remind others of me. You know what the artistic temperament is supposed to be like, don’t you? To Eunice Hicks, I, HELEN CLARK, bequeath my willowy figure. There are no beauty secrets. Also she may have my unobtrusive nature, that must be a welcome relief to the faculty. My methods for successfully putting off assignments, and sometimes not even doing them at all, I, RICHARD BUNNELL, pass along to Joe Greenfield. It will be easy for Joe to make use of this bequest, because there is nothing to do. I, JAMES QUINN, hand down my passion for checkers to whoever will sharpen his wits for battle at noon in the typing room. He will probably get plenty of competition. Since my loud laughter won me so much criticism from various teachers, I. PHILLIP PUFFER, honor Gene Spieldenner with this distinquishing feature. May he know, more often than I did, what he is laughing about. And, last but not least, I, JEAN LOUISE TITUS, drained of thought and probably in dutch with everyone afore mentioned testators, bring this will to a close, hoping that everyone will accept my remarks in the friendly spirit in which they were meant. I bequeath this will-writing task to whoever the junior class feels would be able to stand up under the strain demanded. In Witness, Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names the 21st day of May in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Forty-three. Signed: Class of ’43, Attorney—Jean Louise Titus Witnesses (Seal). 19 Junior Class First row Barbara Kaiser, Shirley Blood, Iris Kent, Norma Kezertee, Bernadene Yusko.

Junior Class History The juniors were a small, but mighty class this year having the good fortune, because of their number, to be all in one room—which made it nice and cozy. The year started off with a bang with the presentation of their play, “An American Is Born,” which definitely opened the eyes of a lot of people to the fact that a foreigner can be a loyal American no matter what his nationality is. Hats off to the juniors for an excellent performance. The juniors proudly placed three members of their class, Barbara Kaiser, Shirley Blood, and Edward Moisio on the National Honor Society. That, underclassmen, is the reward for hard work. Six members of their small class—Georgiana Kako, Nevia Jean Congdon. Barbara Kaiser, Flora Hall, Bernadine Yusko and Bill Philley are the proud possessors of A Capella pins. As for the members of the Pilot Light staff—Ruth Akerley, Bernadine Yusko, Georgiana Kako, Helen Fisch, Audrey Kirkwood, and Frances Main toook care of that and nothing escaped their watchful eyes. Robbie Puffer was their only contribution to the basketball squad, but what a contribution! He certainly did a good job and backed the juniors heartily; however he's got a bigger job awaiting him next year. Besides the class officers: president, Barbara Kaiser; vice-president, Gene Spiel-denner; secretary, Shirley Blood; and treasurer, Gertrude Shumake; they were represented by Georgiana Kako on the Student Council. Sophomore Class History The sophomores settled down to a quiet school term this year (pardon me, but did I say quiet?). Well anyway they seem to have done a good job in keeping the study hall under control and have participated in many school activities. Delores Davis, Bernice Hershey and Katherine Cole put their news in the Pilot each time to let the rest of the high school know that they weren’t slackers by any means. Five members of the class were on the varsity. Richard Wheeler was their pride and joy as he was on the first team and what a player! Nice going, Richard, you certainly earned, their praise. Richard Olsen, Omer Kirk, Bill Neal, and Tommy Kantola were the other sophomore players. There were more sophs in the a cappella choir than from any other single grade; namely, Joe Shore, Clair Bunnell, Dean Beckwith, Allen Ritari, Richard Olsen, Kay Graff, Alex Elonen, Altha Bates, Delores Davis, Jane Hibler, Lois Wallace, Mary Lou Torrence, Martha Fiala, and Howard Irish. Gordon Turner was president of the Latin and Photography Clubs. Vice-president of the Latin Club was Altha Bates. They were guided through the year by president, Richard Wheeler; vice-president, Howard Irish; secretary, Dorothy Cook and treasurer, Bernice Hershey. Freshman Class History Fifty-three wide eyed freshmen got their first thrill and scare when the seniors made them go through that frightful initiation in September. However, they came out of it with nary a scratch, but minus a shoe or two. They immediately got into the Rowe High stride and took their place in school activities by giving a skating party in the fall. It turned out to be a great success with no casualties, except a few skinned knees. Harriett Montgomery, Elizabeth Waddle, Mildred Kultti, Bessie Ring, Dick Armstrong, Laura Yusko, and Margaret Dewey passed their test successfully and became members of the A Cappella choir. Jean Wheeler, was that frosh news and gossip got its place in the Pilot Light. Bessie Ring won the badminton tournament and was also the star of the freshman basketball team. That “riot” sender Jerry Puffer and also Ray McVoy were on the basketball squad. A party with the sophomores was enjoyed in February. This proved to be such a big success that another one followed. Officers of the freshmen class were: president, Alan Punker; vice-president, Bessie Ring; secretary and treasurer, Mildred Kultti.

At the close of the season each year all the coaches from all over the state send in a list of their ideal players, and out of some 25,000 class B players our own Freddie Hirsimaki was picked on the first team. Fred scored more points than any other player on this first team. He scored 419. There is no doubt in anyone's mind who has seen Hirsimaki perform, that he is the greatest offensive player that Rowe has ever had (barring none), but if Fred had not been on this Rowe team of '43 chances are that he would not have set the record he did, because this team composed of three seniors, one junior and one sophomore, is the greatest team that Hirshey has ever turned out. Dwane Wheeler, forward, was named to the All Ohio honorable mention group. Last year he was chosen on the third team. Dwane scored 279 points to average 12 points a game. Thus these two “All State” players have scored 698 points this year, in the last two years, 1,069. Two 100 Scores The people that thought it impossible for a Class B school team to score over 100 points got the surprise of their life at Rowe Hi gym on the nite of February 5, as the classy Vikings scored 102 points against Pierpont (46 of these points were whipped in by Hirsimaki). This “century” score smashed all previous records by tens. And then—after everything had gotten all quieted down about the big score these boys had made, they off and “dood” it again. This time at the expense of Kingsville; in the first tournament game at Jefferson as they swept over the Kings by a 101 to 35 score. These record scores will undoubtedly stand for a long time. Never before in the history of Ashtabula County Basketball has a team had such a scoring power as Rowe has possessed this year. Ping Pong Clair Bunnell upset the dope bucket in the ping pong tourney this year, as he carried off high honors. Clair's battle was against the stiffest kind of competition as he whipped 4 foes (among them Robbie Puffer, the 1942 champion). Little Jerry Puffer carried away the runner-up spot when he met Bunnell in the finals. Rowe Track Wartime Style Track at Rowe (1943 style) took a beating when county officials announced that due to a shortage of players and trackmen in the county that there would be no 1943 Jefferson Track Meet. Rowe, one of the potential powers of track and field in the county, however, will hold a meet on May 8 to take place of the Jeff Tourney. Coach Charlie Hershey invited 28 teams to participate in this racing carnival. Out of these it is expected that probably 8 teams will be present at the Rowe Relays. With Rowe and Spencer looming as the threats of the meet. Hershey’s “ace-in-the-hole” is his brother, Fred. Fred, having swept through the intra-murals at will, looms as leading contender in the half-mile, shot put and discus. Incidently he now heaves the shot about 42 feet and its going out farther all the time. Another Rowe threat is Robbie Puffer in the 440 and half mile.

This year the Vikes started out with a potential game winning baseball combination. They won every game before the tourney started, knocking off North Kingsville twice, Edgewood and West Springfield. Then came the tourney and with it Edgewood, Rowe’s oldest rival, as a first game opponent. Rowe s fate was written at this first game in a slow drizzle. For ten innings these two teams battled on even terms as again and again Rowe’s Freddie Hirsimaki and Edgewood’s Billie Shaylor mowed ’em down. For these long ten innings it rained on one of the greatest pitchers’ battles ever seen in the Tourney. In the last half of the tenth it happened after both teams had been deadlocked by a one-all tie, Billie Shaylor hit a drive to left field good for three bases; then he scored on a fatal error to win the game by a 2 to 1 score.

Despite this short practice period, however, the Choir has done exceptionally well under the able direction of Mrs. Wellman. We don’t expect our names to go in the Hall of Fame but.... We had a grand time at the two parties we had this year; in the fall of 1942 we had our annual initiation of the new members of the A Cappella Choir. The other was a Christmas party, held at Mrs. Wellman’s home where gifts from bubble bath to sock dolls were exchanged. There are thirty-seven members in the Choir, fourteen of whom are new members. Messiah Directed by Mrs. Alma Tallin; Wellman the girls’ chorus, boys’ chorus, girls’ glee club, A Cappella Choir, alumni and guest artists sang George Frederick Handel’s Messiah before a large and attentive audience. On December 21, 1942, at the Rowe auditorium it was given for the second time in the history of Rowe High School. The orchestra, also directed by Mrs. Wellman, played, from the Messiah, the Overture and the Pastoral Symphony. Giving an excellent performance were the five guest artists from Erie; Mrs. Jean Rodefer, soprano; Mrs. Lois Wells, contralto; Mr. David Rodefer, tenor; Mr. William Carr, bass; and Mrs. Alma Way, pianist. ■ 28 ■ ► OBCIIESTR First row: Mrs. Well man, Katherine Hosick, Harriett Montgomery, Iiessie King, Vivian Lane, David Fisher, William Philley, Doris Kopp. Lois Wallace, Jane Ross.

It has done very well considering the fact that there was only one short period a week in which to practice. The orchestra has played for our marching feet at assemblies, for the junior and senior plays and for the Messiah. The Hand, also under the direction of Mrs. Wellman, has twenty-five members. It has played for almost all of the home basketball games, helping to cheer the Rowe High Vikings on to victory. 29 HKD CHOSS Second row: Dorothy Snow, Jeanne Wheeler, Thelma Atkins, Evelyn ('ole.

As usual the Red Cross conducted both the senior and junior roll call. Over-seas Christmas boxes were packed and sent and nine Christmas boxes were sent to Longview, the county home for the aged. For Easter, favors were made for the hospital. For additional war time duties many things were done along with the Home Economics clubs under the direction of Miss Pearl Hunnell such as making ditty bags lor the soldiers and twenty-four slippers for the Veterans hospital and a group of sophomore boys made ashtrays for the Veterans' hospital also. Under the direction of Miss Jessie Fenton the art department aided us in sending menu covers to the Navy. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Shirley Blood; vice president, Richard Wheeler; secretary, Ruth Akerley; treasurer, Emerson Page. The sponsor was Miss Marguerite Tobin. Candy Sales The sweet tooth of Rowe's students has suffered somewhat the past year. Due to rationing and shortage of materials, we have not been able to get as much candy as we formerly did. But then, who are we to complain? Regardless of the shortage, the seniors: Kathryn Nelson, Grace Hall, Jeanne Philley, Evelyn Cole, Elizabeth Hogie, Ethel Palagyi, Rebecca Wright, Phyllis Herbel, Dorothy Rapose, Harriett Smith, Jeanne Conway, will long remember swallowing their lunches whole or eating then, on the run in order to meet the demands of cash customers as they thronged around the candy counter. The girls, assisted by Mr. Deevers, also took care of the money and took inventory of the stock. Le Triangle Mystique Have you heard those strains of queer music coming from Room 307? No harm done, it’s just we “Frenchies” getting together for our monthly meeting. Once each month, during our regular class period, Mrs. Kitchen, our sponsor, hands the “reins” over to Mile. Marie Ring, our president. At first we have a program, consisting of songs, jokes, and reports. Then conus the treat. Yes, we do have refreshments! At our Christmas meeting we had an exchange of gifts and some, I’m sure, will not soon forget what they got. Will they, Mary? Then for the Valentine meeting we got together with the Latin Club and we had a good time by exchanging French and I atin valentines. We also bought French club pins for ourselves which, I don’t have to say, we are mighty proud to wear. To help Mary in leading the meetings, we chose Harriett Smith as treasurer and Elsa Kesatie as secretary. Home Economics Club A group of boys from Rowe have proudly demonstrated the fact that the men as well as the women can take an active part in household affairs—especially cooking. These boys, members of the Boys’ Home Economics Cluh.sponsoreei by Miss Hunnell, were divided into two groups with a leader for each group. They have made anything from soup to candy. The Girls’ Home Economics Club, sponsored by Miss Hunnell, and under the leadership of Dorothy Lewis, president; Bernice Hershey, vice president; Kathryn Bosick, secretary; and Shirley Fulmer, treasurer; has devoted itsf time to sewing for the Red Cross. Utility hags to be sent to United States soldiers in Africa and moccasins for soldiers in the camps of our own country were two of their projects. One of the highlights of the year was a Christmas party at which the Christmas theme was realistically carried out. In the center of the table at which a spaghetti dinner was served were grouped the gifts which were later drawn by members of the group.

Yes, that’s who thy were—the Snappy Clickers. The club had thirty-eight members. Their leaders were President, Gorden Turner (that able photographer of the tenth grade); vice president, Boh Crawford; secretary, Dorothy Cook; and treasurer, Kathryn Bosick. Under the leadership of their sponsor, Mr. Howard Hopper, they started the year off with all kinds of reports and explanations of the fundamentals of cameras and picture taking. They have had many interesting meetings, held every two weeks on Wednesday. Activities included developing, printing, tinting, enlarging and toning of pictures. Mr. Hopper also took n indoor picture of the group. Snappy Clicker Camera Club “Young: America” is a patriotic club organized under the sponsorship of Mrs. Mina Kelley. Students of the sophomore and junior English and history classes with an average grade of “B” were automatically admitted to membership. Other students who felt they would benefit from the discussions of the group were invited to make application to the Executive Committee. The club is designed to acquaint its members with happenings of curr nt interest and to give practice in discussing problems “Young Americans” face in the present and future. Meetings were held every other Wednesday in Room 316. A program chairman and an assistant were appointed for each successive meeting. Material from current magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, air-age text bcoks and the radio was utilized for the reports, news flashes, forums, and panned discussions that made up the programs. Basic magazines used were Reader’s Digest, Scholastic, Newsweek, Young America and Everyday Reading. Realizing that America needs today more critical thinking on the part o? its youth, members of the club discussed such questions as these: What courses in the school curriculum should receive emphasis during these wai years? What revisions need to be made in the courses now offered? Should we plan now for peace? If so how should such planning proceed? Officers of the club were: President, Barbara Kaiser; vice president, Dorcth.i Cook; secretary, Marjorie Tinney; and treasurer, Jo Anne Wright.

Boys' Industrial Arts Club The fifth period every Friday, about thirty boys gathered in the industrial arts room. They were members of the Boys’ Industrial Art’s Club, sponsored by Mr. Hopper. They had as their officers: president, Tom Kantola; vice president, Paul Irish; secretary, Lawrence Best; and treasurer, Wilbur Hillyer. During this period, the club members worked with a number of different materials such as metals, wood and plastics. Many boys made bows; others worked on regular class projects such as end tables, knives, picture frames, rings and bracelets. If you have heard a burst of laughter, applause, or singing coming from Room 307, it was only our newly-organized Latin Club sponsored by Mrs. Ruth Kitchen. We had a meeting once a month in which we played games, gave talks on Roman people and customs, sang Latin songs and, best of all, consumed refreshments. You can see we had a fine time. We had a Valentine Party with the French Club when we exchanged Valentine Greetings in French and Latin. We enjoyed trying to read the French verses and sing French songs. The officers were President, Gordon Turner; Vice President, Altha Bates; Secretary, Bessie Ring; and Treasurer, Donna Mae Clark. Sodalitas Latina Rowensis I, ATI I CLUB First row: Thelma Atkins.

That was our “war” cry each Friday as we rushed madly to publish a two page paper “hot” with news. Wei revised our tradition in the second semester to average four pages every two weeks. Meetings were held, with our sponsor, Mr. Paul C. Deevers, every Monday and Wednesday activity period to “hatch” out plans for the coming issue. News, jokes, sports, cartoons, and gossip have been the result of these weekly meetings. Each senior member is the proud possessor of a Pilot Light pin which shows the position he held on the staff. We, who held the positions of editors under our Editor-in-Chief, Phyllis Herbel, are Ethel Palagyi, Kathryn Nelson, Bernadine Yusko, Dwane Wheeler, Ruth Akerley, and Elsa Kesatie. Junior Play A timely play “An American Is Born” aptly directed by Mrs. Mina Kelley anti Miss Pearl Hunnell, was the junior class presentation for ’42. The cast included Richard Clark as the gray-haired father, Eliot James, and Helen Fisch as his devoted spouse. Their two off-springs, Madge and Patty, were portrayed by Barbara Kaiser and Shirley Blood, respectively; while Edward Shumake as Bernard Balch played the impatient suitor to Madge. Joe Greenfield as the lawless, little Englsh refugee disrupts the household of Pauline, the Polish maid, played by Ruth Akerley. Sigmund Hale, the tall, handsome stranger who won Madge’s heart was played by Gene Spieldenner. Dottie Newcomb, Flora Hall to you, and Gertrude Shumake as a colored lady, Mrs. Cruikshank, added much to solving the mystery of the stolen blueprints and the identity of Joe. Miss Furness, James' secretary was weepingly portrayed by Ruth Best; while the super-sleuth of the play was Robert Puffer as Major Benson. After much excitement and comedy the stolen blueprints were found and a Nazi spy was exposed. Sigmund Hale, an ex-Americanized German and more recently an officer of the German Luftwaft,. was found “not guilty’’ of illegal entrance into this country and everything ended well. .11 sion plan First row: Miss Hunnell, Barbara Kaiser.

The plot centered around the home life of the Adamses. Into the hands of Jeff (David Jacobs) had been placed the tic’ lish job of bringing up two sisters and on-' brother. Hy’s (Donna-Mae Clark) pride and joy was football and her greatest aim wa • to get rid of Lenore Hudson (Kathryn Nelson) who is for Jeff, the quickest way possible. Carol (Rebecca Wright) was sure that she was going to get to Hollywood with “Wheat Puffies” and brother Wes (Emerson Page) was thrown into a whirl by that charming southern girl, Eve Mason (Harriet Smith). Then there is Peggy Winkle (Grace Hall), who came along to save the day after some exciting moments and some help from Mrs. Lulu Trimmer (Phyllis Herbel) Jeff’s customer. Sarah (Vivian Lane), the negro maid, made a perfect fourth for a football play and Helen (Elsa Kesatie), the housekeeper was quite determined in quitting. The driver (Kenneth Roberts), if you remember, was very angry because he wasn’t a plumber to drain out his digging machine. Despite poison ivy, mosquitos, plans and digging machines, the Adamses still held their own at the end of the play. Mrs. Ruth Kitchen was the director. lass cPoerru SAILING From Farnham, Rowe, and Amboy, too In nineteen thirty-nine We came to join the High School crew Which sails in rain or shine. Then to the sophomore class we sailed Striving to reach the shore, Ne’er stopping when the clouds grew dark And seas began to roar. We next steered towards the junior class Which made us swell with pride; Thus far we’d sailed successfully O’er this sea, broad and wide. As Seniors, we’ve enjoyed this year Which swiftly has gone by; Regretfully we mariners bid The remaining crew, “Good-bye.” As we sail on, each by himself, To Rowe we’ll e’er be true; For through the sunshine and the storms She safely bore us through.
