We, the seniors of nineteen hundred and forty- seven, feel genuine pride in presenting to the school this ninth edition of the Spencerian. We have worked very hard to make it the best annual yet published. Although no radical changes have been made, we have tried to diversify and improve the quality of the contents. Nor is the padded cover an innovation. Still We feel this year's distinctive color and simplicity are something to be proud of. Notice, too, the originality of the division pages, the senior pages, and the candid pages. Without the earnest Work of the staff and with- out Mr. Capretta's and Miss Jones's assistance this annual would not have been possible. And We recognize, too, the part the student body and the rest of the faculty have played in its success. This is our parting gift. We leave it with the hope that you will derive as much pleasure from reading as we have had in working with this-your 1947 Spencerian. Our Superintendent . . Without your helping hand to guide us, We seniors would have found our high school days much more difficult. Your patience and understanding were things that steadied us on the rocky path that leads to graduation. We Wish to give you our vote of thanks, Mr. Capretta! DEDICATION DEAR MR. LOGAN . . . In sincere appreciation of your eight years here at Spencer we dedicate to you the 1947 Spencerian. We will relive many times, in the years to come, your history classes, your chapel programs, and most of all the friendly arguments in P. O. D. class. Your kindly scoldings and suggestions, and your willingness to help us in any way you could, will always be fondly remembered. Toryou, Mr. Logan,-thank you. THE SENIORS wsx w1 W O. IJ. Phelps, E. .l.

Outstanding in the 1946-47 record of the Geneva Local School Board's contributions to Spencer's welfare is the success- ful passage last November of the bond issue for building and equipping the badly-needed addition to the school. The board also purchased texts for junior and senior litera- ture, business English, shorthand, commercial math, and fourth- and-fifth grade history. A new water system was installed in the boys' locker room, new lockers were purchased, and the baseball diamond was conditioned. An event of especial im- portance to Spencer students was the arrival of the long-awaited new school bus. The men responsible for thus benefiting Spencer School are: Lyle R. Pruden, re-elected president, E. J. Hanneman, re- elected vice-presidentg J. J. Bliss, O. D. Phelps, Howard Wol- cottg and J. W. Simmons, clerk. To these six men, on behalf of the entire school, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for their tireless effort in making our school a better one. High School Faculty . . . 2' HARRY B.

Mike is known the school over for his generous good nature, hard-working dependability, and witty remarks. During his eleven years at Spencer he has been outstanding not only scholastically, but also in extra-curricular activities. His duties as student manager of the 1946 carnival were discharged with characteristic common sense and hard work. It is no small thing to have gained the respect and confidence of students and faculty alike yet Mike's very blue eyes, his friendly manner, are as unassuming as they were that day when, as a sixth-grade safety patrolman, he was stmck by a passing car and the whole school grew tense with fright. There are some people who leave a lasting impression upon others. .Jeanne is certainly one of these, for there is something about her that one dot-sn't forget. Wim, Wigger, and Witality' might explain part of it, but not all. Add to that, good humor, initiative, enthusiasm, poise, a way with clothes and people, and you have Jeanne. Jeanne, too, is a member of the original class and during her years here at Spencer has taken an active interest in both scholastic and extra-curricular activities. Three consecutive years as varsity cheerleader have been a real test of her sincerity and endurance. We have seen her pass that test with flying colors. Now, Ken is the go-get-it, get-it-done type. He likes things clone and done right. If it isn't worth doing right, it isn't worth doing at all, should be, and probably is, his motto. It is no accident that he has served as treasurer and account-keeper for almost every organi- zation in the school. We don't have to wish Ken luck. He doesn't need it: he works for what he gets. Curly auburn hair, warm brown eyes, style of walking all her own: sympathetic common sense, friendly tolerance, loyalty, dependability. You've guessed it --Eloise. Not until the seventh grade did she join our Happy Band, from down Pennsylvania way. Yet her friends are legion and she never fails them. We feel sure that Eloise will re- ceive the best possible from life, for that's exactly what she gives -thc best l wh ...Z I V X 1 N f x X f' J T X ...f X l X fig s -Lett. ,Q 4 ll i Nb-Q.31,hl'l I xi' U in il... f t rt Seniors CHARLES FREDERIC LEWIS A.

Charlie is one of those lads with a personality plus, Hailim: from Madison in the sixth grade, he has become one of Spencer's staunch- est supporters. His likes? Oh, anything and everything: sports, dra- matics, dancintr, and of course. girls. Razor-sharp wit, quizzical grin, curly hair, helping hands that's Charlie. We're very sure everything will turn out all right for him. Why shouldn't it, with a smile like his? Quiet poise, attractive appearance, and personality, competent management. resourceful imagination, diversity of interests and ability these are some of the qualities which have contributed to Irene's success since the time when she entered Spencer in the fifth grade. She has made a name for herself, especially for her editorial work on the Ili-bites and the Spcncrrian, though dramatics, reading, and dancing, along with participation in scholastic and extra-curricular activities, have also taken much of her time. Nor should we forget to mention a certain college football player who ranks very hiprh in her present, list of interests. Speedy, as his friends call him, has been at Spencer since way back thar in the first grade. We'll remember him in his basketball hair-cut at center, nor can our ears forget soon the roof-raising cheers at pre-game pep rallies when his name was reached in the line-up. After commencement, Marty hopes to learn the carpenter trade and go into partnership with his father. Mildred is another of that small but honored group Spencer School has had around for all twelve years. During: that time she has made a place for herself with her good nature and warm friendliness, her cheerful acceptance of work, often the thankless, unpleasant kind that others steer clear of. We'll remember other things, too. The way she looked atop the high ladder decorating' the gym: her fondness for chewim: gum and volleyball: her labors over the Y-Teen treasurer's account: and most of all, her astonishing performance as a poisonously sweet spinster in Arsenic and Old Lace.

Although Dick has been with us only a short time. having come from Madison in his junior year, he has made many friends. Friendly, quiet, sensitive such adjectives are right for him. In fact, only an occasional glint of teasing mischief in his eyes is evidence of his red hair. We'll remember his earnestness when puzzled, his thoughtful consideration for others, his good humor. Best of luck, Dick! Eileen. a blue-eyed blonde who entered our class from Cleveland in the seventh grade, is a girl of many and varied interests, among which are swimming, dancing, skating, and riding. In fact, her fondness for horses is such that she hopes some day to own a ranch in the West. In years to come, the name Eileen will recall to us sparkling blue eyes, straight bangs, swimming pool antics, and diving-board acrobatics. Easy-going gait, half amble, half lopeg stubborn lock of hair: dark eyes, sometimes sleepy, sometimes alive with mischief: Tersigni grin: insatiable urge for decorating all test papers with crazy cartoons---that's Bill, whose motto seems to be, When work interferes with play, cut nut the work. Does this explain his popularity with his classmates? Not entirely. But underneath all the fooling is something solid that his friends know they can count on. Down underneath is a real friend. Sensitive, kind-hearted, absent-minded Bobby joined us from Gar- field Heights in her eighth school-year. Always a willing worker, she has had her share of secretary jobs in school organizations. Barbara is not sure just what she wishes to do in the future, but from what she says we gather at least that it will have a lot to do with California and the West. We'll remember her for the way she conquered shyness and a naturally quiet voice to create the role of the murdered opera star in The Singing Ghost.

One of the few boys who have the enviable ability to look as though they were poured into a suit ot' clothes, Ed is always well- dressed and pleasant, a polished gentleman from head to foot. He is justly popular for his active interest in the music department ever since the day when he entered Spencer as a new eighth grader. An added claim to distinction is the remarkable jalopy tfully equipped with spotlight and horn! acquired in his senior year. We'll remember him, too, as superintendent for a day during American Education Week. Alice's cheery smile, shrewd wit, and practical. energetic nature have helped make school-life more interesting for her fellow students. Although she attended Spencer in the lower grades. much of her later schooling was received in other schools, She returned to Spencer, how- ever, in the middle of her junior year, in ample time to share in numer- ous activities of the Class of '44T. Alice's ambition is to prepare herself for a career of cosmetoloyzy. Frank is one of the orip:inal the who started here at Spencer a matter of twelve years ago. Known more than anything else for his participation in athletics tIt must run in the family- remember J0hnny'?l, he first went out for basketball way back in junior-high days and he's been going cver since. No doubt lu' will remember the long walks home. Nonrhalnnt characterizes his attitude toward most things except math' at which he-'s a whizz. On second thought, perhaps we should except girls, too. Noted for his athletic prowess and his lack of interest in the fairer sex, Don will be greatly missed next year at Spencer, where he has spent his entire twelve years. Not. only has Don participated in every field of sports of'fered 'by his Alma Mater: he has also had his share nf opportunities for leadership in class and school organizations. Loyalty to friends, dogged determination, and dependability are quali- ties Don Pruden possesses in abundance. They are qualities which can serve him well in future years.

Interested in dramatics, hc quite naturally became s one ol' the founders of Thespians. Acting, writing it's difficult to tell A in which fielnl his greater opportunity lies. At present he dreams of making writing his life's work. Although he is the dreamer type and seldom accomplishes all that he sets out to do, we feel sure that some :lay he will wake up and, when he does, the world will know about it. Published originally in the 1945 Christmas issue of the Hi-Lites, Norman's poem, Proclaim the Christ, Won signal recognition twice this year: first, when it appeared in the Anthology of Ohio Verse for 19465 second, when the National High School Poetry Association ac- cepted it for publication in their annual Anthology of High School Poetry. It seems especially fitting, therefore, that the poem which has brought honor to Spencer as well as to Norman, should appear in permanent form in this Spencer-ian. PROCLAIM THE CHRIST O men of Worldly things, It is meant for you to know That even kings To this King shall bend low, For through His veins The blood of God does flow. -Norman Foret Q 'gig ' i N, PU!

MEMO-April 17, 1957 Saw Eileen McGraw today in her one-woman act at Madison Square Garden. Will say this much-it certainly was different! Seems to do it this way: she dances a ballet number atop a platform on her horse's back. Went back to the trailer which serves as her dressing room and had a short talk between her act and the finale .... goes by the name of Sallie, calls her act Sallie's Dalliesf' Even yet, ten years after Spencer, she wants to own a ranch in the West. In fact, she has insisted in her contract that at the beginning of every act the circus band play that old favorite, Don't Fence Me In. This, of course, she told me on the side, is so my dear friend, Docewoober, will take the hint. I guess Eileen still plans on raising more than just horses. MEMO-April 19, 1957 In the city today and, having a short time to myself, 'thought I would run up Fifth Avenue way and drop in on an old friend. Irene, who now has a top position and large stock in Worth's, was more 'than glad to see me, so stayed longer than previously intended. Irene Knight, formerly Irene Hodgkin, has not only become a great designer of women's fashions but also a writer of some note, having to her credit, A Light in the Night, Dark Night, and a short biography of Clarence Day-title escapes me. Hated to leave. MEMO-April 29, 1957 Got into Hollywood last night. Surprised when I got the chance to see the premiere of Woman in the Clock starring Jeanne Adaire- to me, Jeanne Hanneman of Geneva. Had seen Jeanne a couple of times but never had a chance to talk. Was invited to her home later and had a swell time. Jeanne, married to Alexander Hopper, has not only wealth and position but also a happy home. She talked of dear old Spencer and told me about a mutual friend, Barbara Thornhill .... Guess I'll go down and see her in the morning. MEMO-April 30, 1957 Found Barbara just as Jeanne said I would. She has her own Beauty Salon on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. Owns, as a side line, the Beauty Soap Company, the one with the motto Love that soap. Upon entering her famous salon, was struck by its delicate soapy odor, and large artistic signs reading, I love that soap. Just as I got over that shock Barbara herself glided in, greeting me with I love that man. The only real change in her is her hair, which cur- rently is styled in violet and pink. MEMO--May 7, 1957 Bought a pair of new shoes today. Had noticed a large neon sign reading, Clarkson, Clarkson, And Sons, Shoes for all Souls, and below that, Have a Heart, Buy Clarksons and Be Smart. Went in and was greeted by Ed, himself. Told me of a new advertising scheme-hun- dreds of airplanes writing, Clarkson Shoes Never Cause Blues. Left Ed with the hope I'll see him again next time I'm in Cleveland. tContinued on Page 301 Class Will . . . We the Senior Class of Platt R.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Shore, Spencer's Junior Red Cross this year enrolled 180 members. In November the organization conducted a campaign and collected 5526.88 throughout the entire school. At Christmas time, members packed three gift boxes for the County Home. They contributed five dollars to the National Children's Fund, and also made holiday favors for Community Hospital and the Gilson Home. The high school home economics class, under the direction of Miss Jones, made ten wool skirts and four wool dresses for shipment overseas. Inserts For A Memorandum . CCcntinued from Page 203 MEMO-July 21, 1957 A vacation, finally a vacation! Came down to Geneva-on-the-Lake and am staying at the Wade Beach Hotel, owned by Eloise Waid. Eloise has bought out the Peras and has modernized and im- proved the whole resort. She seems most happy here, although she is still waiting for her husband-to-be to finish his education. Eloise feels that Geneva- on-the-Lake has great possibilities, even better than Miami. MEMO-Sept. 5, 1957 Ran into Richard Rea, or should say Doctor Rea, for lce is a prosperous veter- inarian. Was invited to his home for din- ner and spent a most interesting evening! Ended with an astonishing exhibition of tricks by his pet dog. Dick seems most happy, and certainly is not living a dog's life! MEMO-Sept. 6, 1957 Went up to what used to be the Pruden Hatchery, now a large factory manufacturing Kleilafrm Breakfast Ce- reals. Frank Kleindienst and Marty Larm bought Don Pruden out two years ago when Pruden decided to enter the big-time baseball racket. Frank and Marty have really gone over big with their breakfast cereals. Claim that, thanks to a new invention by the famous Dr. Lewis, formerly Miss Frances Dorsey, their breakfast cereals have a proton and neutron charge causing energy waves. Frank told me all the news about Don. Certainly hope to see him play next season. MEMO-Nov. 20, 1957 Biggest and best of all seasons opened in New York's Theatre World last night when Zeigfeld's successor presented his new star, ALICE. Recall her telling me years ago that she was going to take up Cosmetology. Appears now that instead of putting hair up, she's taken it down. Spoke to her back stage, that is, after leing trampled and pushed around for a good half hour. She talked about her fu'ure plans-always knew Alice would do something. MEMO-Nov. 22, 1957 Used to be Emily Post-now it's Mil Thompson. Read Thompson's Book on Table Manners and feel 10070 better about eating. She gives the impression that manners are the simplest thing pos- sible. Visited Mil at her home today, was surprised at the tall, slender, beau- tifully poised woman who greeted me. Mil has been married a couple of times, but at present is alone. MEMO-Nov. 29, 1957. Heard about Bill Tersigni today. In the advertising business in Chicago. Guess he really made his mark in the world. Recall once seeing some work he did in a hotel in Ashtabula. Come to think about it, believe he did the re- decorating job in the Ashtabula County Jail at Jefferson. Concluded on Page 373 30 14c1fia1liie4 Spencerian . . . Row 1 Norman lforet. Jeanne Hanneman.

It was with more than a small sigh of relief that we sent the Spencer-ian to the printer and settled back with the feeling of work well done. And now that the annual is here, we feel justified in sayingh- the best ever. We are really proud of the 1947 Spencerian. Mere thanks alone can not express our gratitude to Miss Jones for her guidance as we learned the hard way. We wish, also, to thank Mr. Hunter for his time and patience in taking the group pictures.

A 60 per cent increase in sales over the record of the previous year, due partly to the emphasis placed upon buying the paper through sub- scriptions, was a major accomplishment of the Hi-Lites during its tenth year of publication. The size of the Hi-Lites was increased by two additional pages and mailed regularly to servicemen. The Hi-Lites treasury also contributed fifty dollars toward the purchase of a sorely-needed new duplicating machine. With Miss Jones as advisor, the staff this year included: Editor- in-chief, Irene Hodgkin, associate editor, Susie Weaver, news editors, Eugene Kahanca and Richard Rea, features, Jeanne Hanneman, Eloise Waid, and Norman Foret, art editors, Ed Clarkson, Bill Tersigni, and Hugh McKenna, class news, Eileen Young, Marianne Harvey, Virginia Lingle, and Norma Kosierg club news, Joan Cox, Anna Martinchuk, and Mabel Rudolph, sports, Charles Lewis and Don Prudeng exchange, Mil- dred Thompsong and maintenance, Ken Mohney and Ed Clarkson. The Hi-Lites was typed under the direction of Mr. Brainard. Dur- ing the first semester four senior girls, Eloise Waid, Mildred Thompson, Jeanne Hanneman, and Irene Hodgkin, were responsible for the work, while second semester typing positions were assigned to four juniors, Maxine Eller, Peggy Sloan, Mary Kodrick, and Anna Martinchuk.

Among the many improvements instituted by Spencer's student governing body this year have been the reorganization and supervision of the hall patrol system, purchase of new chairs for the science room, fbadly needed and much appreciated by alll, the regular scheduling of noon movies, a skating party, and a share in the purchase of the clinic room furniture. Mr. Capretta was the advisor of the Student Council, and the fol- lowing were elected to office: First Semester-President, Dan Volponeg vice president, Dorothy Hogeg secretary, Barbara Thornhillg treasurer, Charles Lewis.

Troupe 679 of the National 'Dramatic Honor Society for High Schools was organized at Spencer in the spring of 1946 under the spon- sorship of Mrs. Warren Gressle, but Was not officially recognized as a Troupe in good standing until November 15, 1946. Jeanne Hanneman, Norman Foret, and Eugene Kahanca were members of the original group, which in the few remaining Weeks of the 1945-46 school year held a formal initiation banquet, presented in the County One-Act Play Contest We Regret to Inform You, and assisted in the production of the Junior play, Arsenic and Old Lace. This year, with Mr. John Kopp as sponsor, Ed Clarkson, president, and Irene Hodgkin, secretary-treasurer, the 18 members have been especially active. Living up to the Thespian aim of . . . furthering the standard of dramatics in high schools, fourteen members of the troupe attended a performance of Ten Little Indians at the Playhouse in Cleveland last October. Their next venture was the presentation in November of the mystery, The Singing Ghost, which was produced two nights, and netted a profit of 3103.79 On March 21, Troupe 679 played host to competing schools in the County One-Act Play Contest, presenting as their entry the psycho- logical drama, High Window. Music Department . . . The generosity of the P. T. A. in purchasing six new band instru- ments-three trumpets, two trombones, and one baritone horn-has con- siderably brightened the outlook for a more active band next year. Add to this the progress of Arthur Kerns, Billy Friedel, Barbara Grabkowski, Fred Martinchuk, and Del Rhinesmith, all of whom are taking lessons this year, and all of whom are good band material for next year, and the prospect for the future is even better. Assembly programs, an important share in the annual Spring Con- cert, and a performance for the Perry Hallowe'en celebration were high- lights for the year. The band members included: Ed Clarkson, Kenneth Mohney, Charles Lewis, Eileen Young, Arthur Williams, Robert Lloyd, Russell Mohney, June Phelps, Charles Grabkowski, Dale Hemphill, Robert Skul, Ed Dubsky, Harry Percival, Harold and Robert Mack, Nancy Brown, June Hunt, Betty Ann Cheney, and Roger Commisso. i The orchestra, led by Mr. Grafel's violin, played at assembly. Members were: V Eloise Waid, Kenneth Mohney, Charles Lewis, Ed Clarkson, Russell Mohney, Robert Lloyd, Charles Grabkowski, and Eva Fritz. The junior and the senior girls' choruses were combined for their appearance in the Spring Concert. The entire music department was under the direction of Mr. Grafel. INSERTS FOR A MEMORANDUM tContinued from Page 305 MEMO--Dec. 7, 1957 Ken Mohney is in the meat business, Mohney Packing Houses, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Chicago. Signs all over the country invite you to Get Your baloney from Mohneyf' Ken invented the new packing process in which a sin- gle machine does the entire butchering job. Good old Ken! Always was a de- mon for efficiency. MEMO-Dec. 20, 1957 Ran into Chuck and Mike today-Dr. Lewis and Dr. Kahanca. One's a doctor of dentistryg the other, a psychiatrist. Both have their offices in the Medical Building in Geneva. Seems that Geneva has taken over the.job of the old state hospital at Massilon and it really is a job. Mike's the leading psychiatrist in the country today. Chuck is the dentist at the hospital and, while visiting with him, heard about the class plans for New Year's Reunion. Guess it's about time we all go out together. MEMO-Dec. 31, 1957 Well, tomorrow is a new year-1958. Tomorrow everyone will be getting to- gether to review old times. Life is a funny thingg you run into peopleg meet them at odd times. But if you really like them or have something in common with them, it doesn't matter where you are or what you have been, you have that one common bond. I wrote once that hap- piness is like a stranger passing one in the sireetsg it is here and suddenly gone -unrecognized. I sometimes wonder if youth isn't the same way. As for me, I guess I've never quite grown up. I am still young-still want things, am still searching. Writing is a strange lifeg it isn't like just any job. For it can go on and on-has no limits, no boundaries, no end. In these ten years it doesn't seem I've gotten very far. But perhaps, if the world will wait just a little longer, Norman Foret, also, will take his seat in the Hall of Fame. If not, I have no regretsg at least I have dreamed big dreams. 37 Y-Teen . . . The news that the name Girl Reserves had been changed last sum- mer by action of the National Y. W. C. A. to Y-Teens came as something of a shock to Spencer girls when they returned to school last fall. How- ever, they gradually accustomed themselves to the change, and with Jeanne Hanneman as president and Miss Jones as sponsor worked and played through a year of activity. Other officers were Eileen McGraw, vice-president, Barbara Thornhill, secretary, Mildred Thompson, treas- urerg Cecelia Glaab, music chairmang and Joan Cox, chaplain. At the beginning of the year, nineteen members of the sophomore class were initiated into the Y-Teens and officially recognized at a candle-light service held in the eyening, with mothers and alumnae as guests. . The girls this year have enjoyed a Wiener roast at the lake in honor of new members, a spring hike, and several splash parties at the Ashta- bula Y . A pancake supper early in December and the annual Easter bake-sale were among money-making projects. At Christmas Time the Y-Teens packed boxes for needy families of the community, and spent much time preparing their Christmas pro- gram for the P. T. A. This same program, which portrayed Christmas in music, words, and pageantry, and featured vocal and instrumental ensembles, with choral arrangements by the girls' choir, was also pre- sented for the high school as the Christmas assembly. February 8, the Y-Teens, assisted by the Hi-Y, sponsored a semi- formal dance as a Home Coming Prom for alumni and friends. The Woman's Council of the Y. W. C. A., backing organization for the Y-Teens, has also had a very successful year with Mrs. Russell Stern as president and Mrs. Lewis Cox as secretary-treasurer. Hi-Y . . . This year fourteen boys went through the informal initiation to become members of the Hi-Y. The organization sponsored a volleyball tournament, in which four teams played, captained by Martin Larm, Don Pruden, Ed Clarkson, and Dan Volpone. Officers for the year were: Ed Clarkson, presidentg Don Pruden, vice-president, Ken Mohney, secretary, and Dan Volpone, treasurer. Mr. Brainard was club advisor. Y-Teens . . .

The 22 members, with Mrs. Lewis as their leader, and Mrs. Warren Gressle, assistant leader, packed baskets for the needy at Thanksgiving, and went caroling at Christmas. Most of their efforts were focused upon working for credits toward higher scout ratings. Swimming parties at the Ashtabula Y were enjoyed during the year, and the girls look forward to attending camp this summer. Boy Scouts . . . Boy Scout Troop 58 was formed in April, 1940, under the direction of Mr. Ernest Southwick. Mr. Carl Hensel was the first scoutmaster, with Mr. Southwick and Mr. Jack Ruhl, his assistants. When Mr. Hen- sel and Mr. Southwick moved away from Geneva, Mr. Ruhl became scoutmaster. When he later went on the lakes and then into the Army, Mr. Fred Moeckel, with the assistance of Mr. Lincoln Cahn, took over the troop. Mr. Lyle Pruden, chairman of Troop 58 Committeemen, and Mr. Alvin Polkow became assistant scoutmasters. Mr. Polkow is the present scoutmaster, assisted by Mr. Pruden. The Scouts spent a week at the Scout Reservation last summer, went on four overnight camping trips, participated in the annual district rally at Geneva, and attended two District Courts of Honor. In addition to this, they went swimming regularlyiat the Y, M. C. A. Athletic Association . . . Row l James Put-krin, Bernard Sehupsky, .lunene Blaeltletlge, .lean Logan.

Athletic Association . . 1946-1947 started for Spencer's Athletic Association with a mem- bership contest, in which the boys ran a close second to the girls, for a total of 160 members. Irene Hodgkin and Ken Mohney served as cap- tains. Officers for the year were: Don Pruden, presidentg Eugene Kahanca, vice-president, Eloise Waid, secretary, Charles Lewis, treasurer. Advisors were Mr. Cap- retta and Mr. Kopp. The main event of the year was the annual carnival November 1, in which the entire school participated. Eugene Kahanca was student manager. During the evening Dan Volpone and Mary Kodrick emerged victorious from the race for king and queen, and were formally crowned and presented with gifts. They reigned in state for the remainder of the evening. Enjoyable entertainment for the evening was furnished by John Wyman, a sixteen-year-old magician from Ashtabula High School, Eddie Pecjak and his accordian, Don Hickok, vocalist, and Kenneth Shand, pianist. The evening ended with the drawings for the Country Store and the raffle. Varsity cheerleaders elected by A. A. members for this school year were Jeanne Hanneman, chosen for the third consecutive year, Eloise Waid, and Helen Hanneman. Reserve cheerleaders were Alice Mae Brumagin and Dorothy Hoge. Both varsity and reserve cheerleaders were uniformed in new gold sweaters and green-and-gold pleated skirts. The Athletic Association this year resumed its practice interrupted by the war, of providing bus transportation for players and spectators for all games away from home, including the tournament. First aid supplies, and basketball, baseball, track, and volleyball equipment were purchased. Towels were supplied for members of the varsity, and, through the A. A. the boys were able to purchase socks and T-shirts. As a money-making project, the association sold Wildcat T-shirts and pencils imprinted with the basketball schedule. Varsity Basketball . . . Although they showed improvement, this year's edition of the Spencer Wildcats still had difficulty breaking into the win column with any regularity. The Green and Gold cagers wound up their season with 8 victories and 13 defeats to finish fifth in the Big Six League. Coach Capretta welcomed back three lettermen from last year's quintet. They were three seniors-Martin Larm, Donald Pruden, and Frank Kleindienst. The usual starting line-up found Don Pruden and Charles Lewis at the forward spots, Martin Larm in charge of center, and Dan Volpone and Ed Dubsky at the two guard posts. Varsity sub- stitutes were: Forwards-Frank Kleindienst, Dale Hemphillg Centers- Bob Skul, John Zupancic, and Guard-Bob Lloyd. Spencer opened their season November 23 playing in a non-league game at North Kingsville, where they were upset 26-17. In the second non-league game at Dorset, the Wildcats won easily 41-13, and sent a victorious telegram to Coach Capretta, who had been called to Arizona because of his father's illness. Next came the annual Alumni game, this one going to the Alumni in a close, low-scoring affair, 25-22. Spencer started the league season with a loss to Andover, in a close game, 39-34. The next game was another non-league contest, this one being with Perry, who emerged the winner 35-29. Playing their second league game-with a tough, fast Rowe quintet-the Wildcats went down in defeat 67-42. CContinued on Page 515 Reserve Basketball . . . Although the Reserve basketball team had a long rough season this year, playing 17 games for 7 wins and 10 losses, they gained valu- able experience which will be of help to next year's team. The Reserves started the season by thumping North Kingsville, 24-5. In their next start, Dorset edged them 18-14. They lost the next two games by close scores: to the Alumni, 29-19, and to Andover, 21-19. Perry then rolled over the Reserves for a. 36-20 score, but the Reserves, unwilling to stay down, pulled their major upset of the season by defeat- ing Rowe 41-34. They added to their win column when they again beat North Kingsville, this time, 25-12. Edgewood then came to Spencer to beat our boys, 25-15. The next five games found the local lads winning 3 and losing 2: beating Austin- burg, 17-143 Kingsville, 37-175 and Andover, 38-139 and falling to Jefferson 16-9, and to Rowe, 23-19. The Reserves lost 3 out of the last 4 games: nosed out by Orwell, 27-265 smothered at Edgewood, 36-10: and edged at Kingsville, 31-27. Their lone win in this stretch was with Jefferson, 24-23, perhaps the most exciting finish of the season. The usual starting line-up found Dale Hemphill and Charles Grab- kowski at the forward posts, John Zupancic at center, and Bob Lloyd and Russell Mohney at guard.

The 1946 track season, with Darl Dolan as coach, opened last spring at Kingsville with a 57141 victory, in which Pruden accounted for four firsts and Calhoon, for one first and three seconds. A threeway meet at Geneva ended: Geneva, 67, Jefferson, 62153 and Spencer, 52. Pruden took two firsts and one second, while Calhoon chalked up three thirds . In their third meet at Edgewood, the hosts emerged victorious with 65 points, followed by Jefferson with 3415, and Spencer with 2625. Pruden took four first this time. Next came an encounter with Perry, victors with 76 points to Spencer's 41. Pruden's share was three firsts and one third, while Cal- hoon tallied two seconds and a third. Subsequently, Don Pruden set a new Spencer track record when he covered 220 yards in 23.8 seconds. At the county meet Spencer placed fourth, with Don Pruden taking second in the 100 yard dash, the 220, and the broad jump, and third in the 220 low hurdles. Martin Larm took fourth in the 880 and Jim Cal- hoon took third in the 220 and fourth in the 100. Spencer came through fourth in the 880 yard relay and fifth in the mile relay. The boys and the events in which they participated throughout the season were: , 100 yard dash--Jim Calhoon, Don Pruden, pole vault-Dan Vol- pone, George Distlerg discus-Jim Calhoon, Martin Larm, 220 yard low tContinued on Page 651 Baseball . . . With Mr. Capretta as coach, the Wildcats came through the 1946- 47 baseball season with nine wins and five losses. In their first game, at Rowe, the Spencer lads suffered a 13-0 loss. However, the Wildcats took the next three games: Rock Creek, 16-33 Austinburg, 19-103 Rock Creek, 21-4. North Kingsville then took a close decision, 5-4, and Rowe handed the boys a 6-4 loss. Back into the win column sprang the Wild- cats again with victories over the Alumni, 11-8, and Kingsville, 7-5, only to be tripped 10-6 by Kingsville in the following game. Austinburg was then defeated 12-9, and the Alumni lost for a second time after a hard-fought battle, 9-6. The first tournament game netted a 8-1 victory over Rock Creek, and in the next engagement they trounced Austinburg, 17-3. However, the locals were eliminated in the semi-finals when Dorset handed them a hard, rough game and a 10-7 defeat.

The usual starting line-up was: forwards-Jim Woodworth and Bob Kozubg ceiiter-Harry Percival, guards--Adolph Tersigni and Harry Stern. The Wild Kittens' first game was at Austinburg, where after a close first half, the boys fell behind and were beaten 21-14. The next two games were with Grand River, proving to be easy victories, 18-7 and 40-12. Spencer then ran up against a tough Saybrook quintet for their next two games and dropped them both, 32-8 and 30-3. The Wild Kittens, however, squared things up with Austinburg, defeating them 15-1. The last two games found the local boys splitting a series of two with Kirgsville, overpowering the Kings 37-6 in the first match, but losing out in the second game 10-8. Jimmy Woodworth and Bob Kozub were the offensive stars, each tallying 38 points to lead the scoring. Adolph Tersigni and Harry Stern were good defensive players, while Harry Percival at center got his share of the rebounds. This year's squad of boys, besides the first five, included: Dick Berry-guard, Johnny Clarkson-forward, Dick Hunt- guard, Jack Vincent-center, Bob Wilkinson-center, Jerry Spring- guard, Howard VVolcott-forward, Delmar Rhinesmith--guard, Rich- ard Sherlock-guard, Bill Friedel-center, Carl Curtis-guard, Jack Lingle-forward, Roger Polkow-center, Larry Spring-forward, Roy Giddings-guard, Dave Van Steen-forward, Eugene Mann-forward, and Bob Mack-guard.

In their last game before the Christmas holidays, Spencer was taken over by a tall, accurate team from Edgewood, 42- 27. - During the past 10 years, Spencer teams had won 18 straight games from A ustirburg, with not a single loss. This vcrr was no exception, as the boys took 'he Austinburg Pioneers in a close game, 95-21. Coach Capretta, who started the winning streak back in 1936 with an up- set-victory over the highly-rated Pio- neers, must have felt considerable satis- faction when the nineteenth consecutive victory was chalked up. The Spencer lads failed consistently to hit the basket in their next game, but Jefferson had no trouble getting the range, amassing 43 points to the Wild- cats' 15. Kingsville then came to Spen- cer looking for their first league victory, but the Spencer boys sent them home defeated, 51-39. The next two games turned out to be losses: to Andover, 42- 363 and to Rowe, in a free-scoring game, 57-30. 1 , H The local team then invaded Orwell, Buckeye League territory, for a close 32-27 victory. But Spencer came out on the short end of their next two league games: doubled by Edgewood, 54-27, and downed by Jefferson, 46-32. The Wildcats closed their league play with a 49-45 win over Kingsville. Spencer tangled with Orwell in their first Class B Double Elimination Tourna- ment game and won handily, 39-29.

Never- theless, the Spencer lads went back to the tourney to defeat Williamsfield, 42- 29. However, the next game-with And- over-eliminated Spencer from the tour- nament with a 47-28 score. High scorer for the season was Don Pruden with 200 points, while Martin Larm and Charles Lewis both surpassed the 100 mark, Larm totaling 156, and Lewis, 123. Perhaps the greatest im- provement, however, made this season by any one player was that by Bob Skul, freshman center. Ed Dubsky, another freshman, showed real skill in passing and handling the ball, while Bob Lloyd's long shots are definitely full of promise. Last but not least, the unflagging deter- mination and aggressive spirit of Dan Volpone, junior guard, was a real inspi- ration for the entire team. Martin Larm was elected honorary captain of the Varsity. E553 RESERVE BASKETBALL CContinued from Page 445 a good deal of action with the Varsity as well, Bob Blair, and Bill Klaue for their hard work and fine spirit. Dale Hemphill was the leading Re- serve scorer for the season, with 107 points, while Bob Lloyd was next with 79. On defense, Russ Mohney and Bob Lloyd were especially good at rebounds and breaking up plays. All of these lads, plus the returning members from this year's Varsity, should emerge next sea- son as a real threat in county basketball play. At the close of the season, Bob Skul was elected honorary captain of the Re- serve team. 53 E -:- -:- -:CEI4 RB -:- -:- -:-:El 'U' FOR NEW FURNITURE 'C' G O O D L U C K - See - Class of '47 'U' , BARNARD BROTHERS gf W .nj Dial ml C, voms CLEANERS 51 North Forest St. 1107 East Main St, GENEVA, OHIO 'D' Geneva, Ohio Q35 'I' 'I' QTY QD?
