This assignment afforded me the long-awaited opportunity of discover- ing what my former classmates had done to fate ,... Well, the weather hasn't changed, I remarked, as I sloshed my way into the station where I met the first of my former classmates Claude Ellsworth, who, with a wild gleam in his eye, was still tossing refrigerators around the station, could be heard muttering I'll get to college yet. The first person I visited was Suzanne Allen, who was still busily knitting yellow socks. I seem to be a little behind the times, she laughed. I itil! don't know what I want to be. Just before I left, Suzanne gave me some doughnuts made by Charles Reuning, an unimportant member of our class, whom no one seemed to remember, but whose baked goods were excellent. While walking down Main Street, I met Vaughn Phelps, who was giving the streets of Wellsville their annual cleaning. Because of his natural talent and ability, Vaughn had also become janitor at the hospital, the library and the bank. The cover girl on the magazine I bought from Mary Eymer in a drugstore, was none less than model Gwen Clark, who had been chosen by the National Cameraman's Association as The Girl We're Most Likely to Pick. After admiring the many photographs taken by Donald Hills, I noticed a hand-lotion advertisement featuring a single pair of hands labeled The Hands You'd Love to Hold. These hands, often seen in fingernail polish, jewelry and hand-lotion advertisements, belonged to Elaine Dalrymple. I had a pleasant visit with Gean Crichton, local undertaker, who enjoyed her work because as she remarked, the customers never talk back. I think I'll move on soon, Gean added, things are so dead around here. My conversation with Marion Brandes, who now wore a wedding band in addition to the engage- ment ring she had received in high school, was interrupted by the sound of hoof-beats. I recognized the rider of the horse as Virginia Benjamin. Ginny afterwards told me that she planned to give up her career as horse trainer as soon as John Giopulos started earning living wages. Doesn'tJohn have a job? I asked in surprise. Oh yes, was the answer, but his salary barely covers living expenses. You see, John is the mayor. On my way to the hospital, I stoppped in James' Flower Shop to buy some roses for Mrs. Merle Perkins, formerly Emma Dickinson. Ella Lamphier, who was now manager of the store, persuaded me to buy an exotic, black tulip, cultivated by Barbara Shear, a well-known botanist. Upon reaching the hospital, I was greeted by Ethel Burdick, who introduced me to the nurses, among whom were Mary Lou Anderson, Betty Lou Wilson, Mary Bastian, Joyce Duke, Esther Fanton and Mary Moline. On the way out, I met Phyllis Badgley, who was there on an errand for Dr. Harkness. Jane Ludden plans meals too well, sighed Phyllis. 'ANone of the patients want to leave the hospital. Owners of the many un-painted and partly peeling houses of Wellsville were impatiently awaiting the return of house-painter Lewis Wachter from the Navy. Those who remembered him, told me that the mystery man, Stephen Zilliacus, was also a sailor, but no one was altogether sure. On my way to visit Mary Jane Sibble who now lived in the Greenhouse, I stopped in the bank to see William Schreiner, who was a cashier. William's pleasant habit of telling clients of their neigh- bors' financial difficulties made up for the deficits caused by his mistakes in balancing their accounts. Bruce Herman, one of the nicer traveling salesmen, told me that he had seen both James Wilson, forest ranger, and Ellis Stout on his last trip thru New York State. Jim's really having a 'hot' time putting out fires, remarked Bruce. I'll bet he wished Ellis wouldn't plant quite so many trees. Above the roar of the driers and chatter of the customers at Mary Jo Pieri's Beauty Shopfpel I learned the following from Mary Perkins, head beautician: Alice Ives was working in Ulysses, Pennsylvania. Leona Fanton was now Mrs. Robert Burgess. June Brehm was working nights in Thatcher's Packers Factory in Olean. QJune had always liked to sleep in the daytimel Mary Jo's special scalp treatment was a real surprise. I think my hair will grow back in any day now. Because of their heavy schedules, wealthy businessman Francis Richardson and Sinclair executive Arthur Heineman had little time for social life. They solved the problem of extra-curricular activities by employing such charming secretaries as Clara Brandes, Betty Thompson, Jean Graves, Barbara Neal, MaryJohnson and Helen Hornburg, and equally charming accountants Leola Hunt, Betty Bailey, Lena Walker, Betty Fisher and Marette Brandes. Francis, however, refused to share the talents of Ellen Mathers, his personal secretary. Having remembered Francis Dean's numerous excursions during his high school days, I was not surprised to hear that he was now running a taxi-service between Wellsville and Bolivar. He was 30 ppl 0l9LeCy kind enough to take time out from his game of fifty ball and drive me to Bolivar where I visited Pat Neary, who was now married and proud of her three sons. Upon returning from Bolivar, I learned that Walter Pfuntner's long experience and hard work had hnally won him a high position in the railroad business. Pour months ago he had been appointed official time-keeper on the Erie Railroad. Nancy Towner, an ambitious young stenographer, was searching for some method to lure Leonard Whitney out of the machine shop where he had been madly working for eight years. Even Donald Newland, a Diesel Engineer, was unable to understand the great love of machines which even in high school days, had caused Leonard to spend all his time with machines. Having no solution to offer I strolled on down main street and bought a newspaper from Ward Heers, Jr., son of the former Carol Field. The newspaper, The Teetattlerf' edited by Katherine Rigas, was much enjoyed by Wellsville citizens. The more intellectual-minded especially appreciated the profound editorials written by Wilma Lewis, whose scholarly mind and serious personality had won her widespread recognition among the cultured persons of the world. Pink Elephants Cafeteria, a respectful establishment owned by Richard Brown, was the favorite meeting-place of Wellsville's social-minded citizens. In this local night-club, such appropriate and classical lyrics as The Face on the Bar Room Floor and Rain-barrel Polka were sung by Christine Chaffee, who was accompanied by the great pianist, Mary Lou Boyd. Entertainment was also pro- vided by Norma Mallery, whose interpretative dance, Fright of the Bumblebee, was a favorite among the customers. Undesirable customers were gently removed by Jerome Sullivan, who some people vulgarly called the Bouncer. My conversation with Mary Deery was very brief because she had to hurry home and give her pet, Bessiemay Mucho, the attentions required by a cow. Mary's next door neighbor was Lawrence Vossler, whose activities as an enterprising agriculturist had won him great respect among both city and country dwellers. The citizens of Wellsville were justly proud of Eleanor Kruger, who through hard work and great artistic ability had become a great painter The Metropolitan Art Museum is all right, remarked Eleanor, but this work requires true genius, and she resumed her work on the billboard she was painting. Another Famous '46 graduate was Tommy Theoclitus, who had startled the world with his dis- covery of a method of putting the atom back together. Noticing an extraordinary looking dress in a shop window, I entered and found its designer Barbara Grimes. Working with her was Amy Shadeed, who, in her widely read fashion magazine, advertised the creations of her friend, Barbara. Amy herself, however, preferred to wear dresses designed by Monica Baldwin, who had created the famous fur-lined sunsuit. Why, little Berwyn Hauser, I said, gazing up at my former classmate, I hear that you're manager of Smith's Shoe Store. Yes, was the reply, Hand we have a fine supply of shoes. Maybe you'd like to . . No, Berwyn, I answered firmly. I won't buy any new shoes. I don't need any. No, absolutely not. . . . As I continued down the street, admiring my new shoes CBerwyn always was a great talkerf, I suddenly found myself surrounded by a howling mob of children Cstudents of Marcella McGinnis, Mary Coyle and Velma Millerl, who carried me along in their mad rush to the library where Nancy King and Patricia Nye, children's librarians, were to read stories suitable to little minds. I'll never forget the sight of the children's innocent little faces, eagerly awaiting the next chapter of Dracula and the Bloody Bread Knifef' . . . Where are we off to now, dear children? I asked, as we continued our wild dash down Main Street. To Doctor Sangree's, they replied, We go there every day. It's a great racket, Anne later explained, If I give them too much candy one day, they're bound to come back the next. Promptly at five o'clock my little escorts hurried home to listen to Lee Dunstone's dramatic radio portrayal of Dragon Lady in jerry and the Pirates. Paul Van Druff, radio technician, was re- sponsible for the many details involved in the broadcasting of this program. The only unpleasant incident in an otherwise perfect trip, occurred on my return home when Icpassed the state asylum, which had been designed by architect James McClure, and was superinten ed by Bruce Dunbar. To my horror, I recognized many familiar faces among the inmates who were leaning out the windows and throwing spit balls. Oh, those poor things, I cried to my companion, Billy Hart, who was president of the National I-Iobos' Union. And to think it's all our fault. Yep, was the elegant reply. We sure did treat our faculty rough. 31 2... x f X Y X 11300- , . Aw 9 Q ' qi 'W . . ., , ,.,Q,,f1wg N.. .' f gg, ,, Vw,-.ffz .ww ' W , - J' wa s .f . I '1 . , , ' - , L 5 1 ww--3 -s '- U .

The Lower House of Council is made up of the 7th, Sth, and 9th homeroom presidents and the presidents of these three classes respectively. lt has the privilege of instigating action and proposing bills and also the power to vote on any hills proposed in the Upper House. Due to the success of the movie, Tom Sawyer, which the Lower House sponsored last year, it has been decided to continue the plan this year. The Black Magic Ball held for the Junior High Students was the outstanding social event sponsored hy the Lower House. .ggluclenf Counci!-lower oude 42 o o 1.f ,f:.: i. One of the greatest honors a student can attain during his high t fl Att,' school days is membership in the National Honor Society. , . 'F ,,K' Since 1900, when the first high school honor society was founded, , the idea has spread throughout the nation rapidly. In 1927 Wellsville 1, ,gif AQA' ALIV , ,g..,, High School, feeling the need for an organization to create scholastic am enthusiasm, stimulate service, promote leadership and develop ii i ' fr 'l character of the students, established a chapter of the National ' lt Honor Society. 203 students have become members of the organiza- MN MXH' Aj,j,.,,,,,. tion since then. While scholarship is one of the essentials for membership in the society, it is not the only quality required. Leadership, which in- cludes initiative, executive ability and influence, character, which covers personality, dependability and honesty, and service are also considered bases for membership. After a careful consideration of these qualities, the faculty council selects, from the top third of the class, not more than 159g of the seniors, not TZ? of the juniors to the National Honor Society. The local chapter, under the guidance of Miss Louise Myer, con- ducts monthly meetings. Oflicers directing the organization forl945- 1946 are: president, Nancy King, vice-president, Katherine Rigas, secretary, Anne Sangree, treasurer, Virginia Benjamin.

Each year several members of the Senior Class are selected by the Faculty Council to the Wellsville Chapter of the Sportsmanship Brotherhood .... In considering candidates for this honorary award, the general attitude of the student is of primary importance. Sportsmanship is a quality which may be demonstrated by a student suffering from a physical handicap which would prevent him or her ever becoming a member of any athletic team. A student does not have to be on a basketball squad or a football squad to be eligible for the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. Qualities are tested by daily con- duct in classes and the corridors, as well as on the playground or in the gymnasium .... All members of the chapter are assumed to be doing their best to be a good sportsman. The Sportsmanship emblem is not a reward, but an award. Its use should be as highly regarded in the iield of sportsmanship as the National Honor Society pin is in the held of scholarship. The code of sportsmanship is as follows: KEEP THE RULES ' KEEP FAITH WITH YOUR COMRADE ' ' ' KEEP YOUR TEMPER ii KEEP BIT , lllllv I n KEEP A STOUT HEART IN DEFEAT H KEEP YOUR PRIDE UNDER IN VICTORY KEEP A SOUND SOUL, CLEAN MIND AND A HEALTHY BODY Any member who has been selected to wear the insignia must do his best to uphold all of the ideals for which it stands. Continued failure to live up to the code of sportsmanship after an award has been received will be sufficient cause for the Sportsmanship Com- mittee to ask the offending member to return the award. ix T , . .,, Q ,SX mv J 'I f' 5375: 75' ' MR. DUNBAR, Advifer laorfdmand ilo Etofkelioocl 44 we MCLFAOOL This first staff of the Sonnontouan and the Policy Committee had many problems to solve before we could even begin our great task. The first of these was a name. After heated disputes over birds and beasts, and other suggestions and ideas, our name was finally found in Hiftmy of Gmefee Cozmtfy, Sonnontouan, an Indian name for Genesee Country. Next we hunted for an appropriate theme. Since victory was declared last summer and this is the first school year of peace in five long years,we decided to have this first edition of the Sonnontouan serve as a memorial to our fellow students who served in World War II. ln this book, the Sonnontouan staff has tried to present a lasting record of our activities, whims, Wit, and what-not in Wells- ville High School during 1945 and 1946. With no traditions to fol- low and no predecessors to live up to, we had a free hand, but nothing to hold on to. Thanks to Mr. Ross of The DuBois Press and the unfailing help of Mr. Dunbar, Mr. Brown and Mr. Fuller, the staff managed to keep itself erect with only a little stumbling. ANN E SANGREE, Iftiifar-211-Chief Anne San ree was chosen as the editor-in-chief and to her is iven a reat deal of credit for the I 8 . H H 8 A U 8 . preparation and completion of the Sonnontouan. She has worked untiringly in her efforts to produce a yearbook which represents everything we could hope for fn our first volume. Virginia Benjamin,advertising manager, tramped the streets and with the aid of her many helpers, secured the necessary backing for our book. Mary Lou Anderson is the business manager and in charge of selling our book. lt is surprising how many expert salesmen she discovered. Lenora Dunstone is responsible for the make-up of the Sonnontouang Jean Graves and Jack Lahr, the photography, and Nancy King, the senior write-ups.

It aims to develop school spirit, build and influence student opinion, promote good sportsmanship and work for the hest interests of our school community. In short, it is the life and spirit of the school in print. For many years a magazine, in 1928 the Owl was changed to newspaper form. Today it is a monthly eight column publication which has won Medalist and All-American honors for the past nine years. The linished product, however, is the result of long hours of i. writing and editing. As the copy deadline approaches, the Owl room is a scene of continual activity, Reporters, the editor, adviser i,ip and typists are busy preparing copy for the Reporter orlice. Here, ii F after dummies are set up, the paper is printed, and brought back to school for distribution. Faculty adviser of the Owl is Mr. Charles Fuller, Editor-in- Chief for 1945-46 is Katherine Rigas, with Amy Shadeed, Managing Editor, Bruce Herman, Sports Editor and Norma Mallery, Exchange EditOr.

This year's Cercle Francais, whose purpose is to study French people, their country and to create a more fluent French vocabulary for themselves, was composed of 33 enthusiastic members. Meetings were held the third Monday of each month at 7:15. These meetings were of a business and social nature. Singing and the presentation of plays, both in French, were enjoyed frequently. As in former years, the Fete de Noel and the annual picnic were the red letter gatherings. The former was, in reality, a party. We ate, sang and played games, all of which added to the joyful atmosphere. The picnic, which was held in the park, also afforded fun for all. Com- mittees, responsible for the year's meetings, were appointed at the first meeting. The officers for the year Were: President, Suzanne Allen, Vice-President, Kenneth Etterg and Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Garvey. MRS.CANESSA,VAdUi5ff e A 52 ofafin The Auxilium lntellegendi Club, under the guidance of Miss Bergerson, was established about 1932 in order to create a better understanding of Latin and Roman life, and to promote social inter- course among Latin students. During the war the Latin Club aided the Red Cross in war work, but now it has resumed its former program of regular meetings on the third Tuesday of every month. The officers of the club are: President, Katherine Cretekos, Pro- gram Chairman, Wilma Lewis, Scribe, Barbara Shear, Sergeant-at- Arms, Elaine Dalyrumple. Through the efforts of the adviser and officers the monthly meet- ings are conducted for the interest of all. The club meeting opens with a discussion of business and this is followed by songs. The remaining program consists of either a play, radio program, quiz, literature on Roman background, or some suitable entertainment which tends to enrich the student's knowledge of Latin, and aims to stimulate more interest in Roman culture. As one phase of the educational program here, this group has purchased Latin Newspapers, Ref Geftae and Arm Diurna, and has added The Rolfe to the library.

There has been some form of student help in the library since it was organized in 1927, but the only credit allowed was two points towards the twenty-point letter. As the library book-collection and space increased, it seemed wise to establish requirements to entice students to earn a Library Council letter. These were drawn up and accepted by the Student Council in 1944. Six letters have been awarded thus far. A special Library Council is being designed for use in the future. The Library Council helps the librarian in many ways. These students prepare new books for circulation, record attendance in the library, charge books and keep the library in good order. They also help look up reference material for both teachers and students. lt is , helpful to have one or two members who can type book orders and catalog cards, which require considerable time each year. l Membership is voluntary and about ten students are selected each i year. Sometimes new members are recommended by Library Council i members. From this valuable library experience a student may find his or her life vocation. oggrary ounci Mus.

A last game victory over a stubborn Hornell eleven made it nine straight victories for the locals. The schedule this season was one of the stiffest in recent years and the Lions deserve much credit for their undefeated status. Starting the season off with a bang, the locals romped over Portville, Corning Northside, Bath, Cuba, and Canisteo. Dansville, Bolivar and Hornell were the last victims of the season with mentors Miles and Rugaber doing a fine job at the helm. The line, with Ray Smith, Bob Walsh, Dick Brown, Claude Ellsworth, Carmen Congelli, Bob Gordon, Burdette Gleason, Jerome Sullivan, Lawrence Mallery, and Francis Dean, was one of the lightest lines in the local league, but it made up in spirit what it lacked in size. Bob Walsh and Burdette Gleason, left and right tackle respectively, were called into the Armed Forces during the middle of the season, but Dick Brown and Jerome Sullivan very capably filled these vacancies. Captain Chuck Reuning, Angelo Tower, Dennis Wood, and Howard Underwood were the back- field regulars. Larry Reed and Bob McEnroe did a fine job when the regulars were not able to play. The roaring Lions tallied 183 points to thirty-eight for the opposition. Bolivar was the only team to score more than one touchdown against the locals.

Hornell, Steuben Class A cham- pions, Alfred-Almond and Boli- var were the only squads which were too powerful for the locals, with the Hornell Raiders being the only team to defeat the Lions twice. In league competition the Milesmen dropped only two con- tests and ended the season tied for first place with Alfred-Almond, the Allegany County Class B champions. Throughout the 1945 season the Lions rolled up a total of 613 points, while the opponents tallied but 509 counters. Of this total, the locals netted 117 points from foul shots. Three members of the Lions quintet scored over 100 points this year. Howie Under- wood, 151, John Giopulos, 139, and Ray Smith, 101, were leading scorers for the locals. Other members of the squad and their scores are: Chuck Reun- ing, 784 Jack Bush, 665 Dan Haskins, 465 Dick Smith, 185 Gus Rigas, 5, Bill Harder, 4, Max Grossman, 3, and Denny Wood, 3. Max Grossman and Jack Bush entered the service during the season. As Class A champions, the locals met the Steuben Class A champions, Painted Post, in the quarterhnal playoffs, but the ln- dians were too fast for the Orange and Black, winning 46-30. gadegaf Seven 1945 baseball lettermen along with 47 newcomers turned out Monday, April 1, in answer to Coach Dick Farnsworth's first baseball call of the 1946 season.
