Here's a good example, from Christmas 1962. It's a full-page of photos depicting students at the various area high schools decorating for the holidays, with scenes from Lorain High School, Admiral King High School, Clearview High School and St. Mary High School. It ran in the paper on December 29, 1962.
From Lorain High School, we have student Sharyn Bacsi decorating a tree; and guidance counselors Mrs. Lillian Leimbach and Mrs. Nyla Pace getting their office ready for the holidays.
From Admiral King High School, students Terry Hollett, Barbara Garska, Susan Krase and Glenn Lucas decorate a student council tree that would be donated to a needy family.
From Clearview High School, students Howard Deliman and Kathy Stumphauzer are shown making a bow for a package to go under the school's Christmas tree in the main lobby; and students Dan Cain and Marie Yuresko posing with a turkey dinner, the special lunch served in the three schools that make up the Clearview District.
And finally, from St. Mary High School, we have French class members Ron Etzkorn, Mary Anne Meyer, Linda Connell, Dave Dombrosky and Bari Lynn Baxter performing an original French Christmas play; students Mary Anne Meyer and Mary Brosky decorating a bulletin board; and Pat Koba, James Balcik, Dave Tomsco, Ray Bialik and Donna Attie participating in an Advent wreath ceremony.
Collectively, the cute, posed photos depict a wholesome image that's almost surreal, like something out of Archie comics. But they mirror the city at that time and create a nice holiday feeling.
