KWonderful memories came flooding through my mind when I opened this web site. I think it is a wonderful idea to save the bell tower. I especially like the memory walk made from the bricks of the old high school. I support this project and look forward to hearing more about it. Marlene Miller Tassi class of 1959

My sister Susan Snyder forwarded your web site, and it is really impressive. I've downloaded the LHS picture to use as wallpaper to remind me of what a great high school we had. A number of us also attended the first four grades in that building, so a lot of good memories will be torn away. Thank you so much for all your efforts. I look forward to hearing more about your plans.

I think it is a good idea . I would like to help keep bell tower from being lost forever . You need to let more people of the different year's know what is going on and you will get more support .

Throughly enjoyable. It's a great job and a credit to your computer skills. I will give the address to all my classes here in Japan. Many have computers (Japan: about 40% of population but growing)and are interested in Ohio by way of my teaching them. Just as Memorial Day was started by ordinary people who cared 141 years ago, this project illustrates that it's the same today. Honored to be from LHS. Ray Goerig

This Internet site is a wonderful tribute to the old LHS building and football field. The superb photos bring back many fond memories. I would love to see some photos from inside the school including the hallways, classrooms, gym, etc.

Congratulations for creating this terrific site on the web.

Best wishes.

Hi, Everyone,

As a 1964 Leetonia High School graduate and someone who is very thankful to have grown up in Leetonia, I wnat to thank Linda "Cookie" Steele for all the hard work and talent that she has expended on this wonderful project. I will be happy to do anything I can to help, and I hope many other Leetonia and Washingtonville students, past and present, will show their support in any way they can. Sharon Cope Parrish

I commend you on a great web site. I am totally in favor of the bell tower and all that accompanies it. As a member of the last graduating class from the old school on High Street (1937) I wonder if you have also considered a momento from that building. Perhaps a stone from the building or walkway. I do not know what is available. I will watch the web site for progress in the endeavor. Good luck. Dorothy Arnold Gray

Count me in. Advise what I can do to help. The project sounds terrific. The area needs a shot in the arm. Leetonia will have something that no other school in the area will have. The proposed square is well thought out. It ties all the schools and their classes both past and future together. Where do you plan to locate this square? Great job in laying out this web site.

Although I know live far from Leetonia/Washingtonville, the well-done site brought me back immediately. Great photos! Alumni Square is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when a community pulls together. Praise to everyone involved for working to preserve the history of our schools. I wonder, however, if any thought has been given to incorporating any memories of St. Patrick's School into the Alumni Square? Many Leetonia students were there for kindergarten (Mrs. Olmsted rocks!) and again for fourth grade in the 1970s and 80s. Anthony Snyder Class of 1988

Keep up the great work!!! Also if anyone knows where we can get the little wooden buildings of the school I would appreciate your help, love the new ornament too. Go Bears!!!

From someone who grew up with LHS in their backyard, it it a pleasure to be able to get online and show other folks what I looked at daily out of the kitchen window. The building itself brings back many a fond school memory, but in a larger sense it was part of my territory. From selling Kool Aide at age 5 to the older kids, to watching Honda Wade roar off on his Dream in '66 , street dances when Summit St. was still dirt. Hey, 175 Walnut St. was a pretty cool place to grow up. Kudos to your efforts, you'll probably never know how many people you have touched. Jim Weikart Class of 1972 - elibot@aol.com

I think that the Alumni Square project is a wonderfully nostalgic undertaking. I also "vote" that the LHS time capsule should be opened at the dedication ceramony for the Alumni Square. That way it would be shared with a larger number of people.

To everyone who worked to put up this site, well done. I've enjoyed viewing all the various pages and especially the many comments. I did not graduate from LHS but I did go to school at the old South Side school and then attended LHS for my first two years of high school. I would have graduated with the class of 1955 but instead relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio where I still reside. I hope to attend a class reunion and see some of my classmates again. Bill Beavan

Thank you for the dynamic views of Leetonia village. I hope this web page will contribute to your cause. In the 'LHS hall of fame,' I suggest to broaden your focus from athletics.

Your site is well organizied, easy to use and refreshing. Thanks for your efforts to help keep LHS alumni connected. LHS will always be unique. I've seen a little bit of the world and it's been fun. In my travels I've been surprised as to how many fellow travelers I've met who have been from Ohio. There's something special about growing up in Ohio. It's a certain mindset; a solid midwestern practicality, industry and willlingness to be open to others. Growing up in Ohio is good but growing up in Leetonia and going to school at LHS developes a moral character that every alumni should be proud of. It really is the heart of America.

5/30/03 Hi, Just found out about this site last night when I revisited my past at the street fair, and a few watering holes. Enjoyed seeing some classmates. We do not wander all that far, do we? The book is really great! Did not know "Flossy" had been a teacher that long. She surely was great. It was fun seeing us all so very young and ready to conquer the world. It is hard to believe it was so many years ago. I dont feel that old, will not comment on if I look that old. I hope to see some of you at the next reunion. Keep up the good work, and I will check back on occasion. Feel free to contact me if you wish.

We need to keep our past alive. Anyone else remember how we did not like the little town of Leetonia because there was nothing to do?

Having been away since graduation in 1970 (retiring from the Navy after 22 years and now living on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi)I finally made it back to Leetonia in June 2003. The new school is simply amazing and the web site is truly a professional accomplishment. I've all around the world but driving the streets of Leetonia after all these years brought back a lifetime of memories.

Hello there!. My husband Ken,came across your site while looking for something else on the net.My name is Frances Tharp, (nee Burgess ) and I used to live at 175 Walnut Street,Leetonia, opposite the high school,I lived there from 1958 until 1969 when I got married and returned to England.During my time in Leetonia, I attended Washintonville,Orchard Hill,and Leetonia High School. I did not graduate so my name does not appear in any "class of list", however I still have my "Leehiscan" book and looking through it from time to time it brings back memories,I still remember a lot of the students that were there with me,a few that come to mind are Cindy Weikart, Susan Trenkelback,Tom entriken,Patricia Ann Marshall,and Jana Dean Longbottom,there were others but to numerous to mention them all.My sister Jackie Prior,still lives in Leetonia out on Crestview Road,and she e-mailed me ealier this year about the high school being demolished,but did not mention anything about the Alumni web site. We think that you have done a great job producing the site,and your ideas for the Alumni Square are well thought out,and the use of the various stones from the old buildings is a nice thought.I`m going to ask Jackie to get me a couple of your t-shirts,and we will visit the site regularly to keep up with progress.

Boy I guess I've been gone too long. Twenty-four years to be exact. I didn't know the old school had been torn down. The last time I saw it standing was in 1992 when I came back to bury my mother. When you leave your birthplace you expect it to be just like you left it. When you go back you see what time has done to it. I recall walking up the hill on the cold snowy days and the rainy ones, too. Time may take away the schools and the town. It will not,however, take away the four years of the up and downs known as Leetonia High School. I haven't seen any commments from any Class of 63 members. Charlie Welling e-mail Chs552@cs.com

I enjoyed visiting your website. I`m Japanese and Ray Goerig is our teacher. He suggested we might visit the site to see his old school. It`a beautiful building. It must have been great to go to school there. You have so much open space. I was amaged at all the open space & green areas. We have learned a lot about your country and Leetonia from Mr.Goerig. Mr. Goerig is a great teacher and a civil diplomat. I think you can be proud of him. Some day I`d like to visit Leetonia & see the "Coke Ovens" museum.

It has been bittersweet to see the old schools make way for the new Leetonia k-12 building. In one sense it is nice to see a new facility for the young people in the Leetonia /Washingtonville / Franklin Square areas... in another sense, it is reassuring to see the old victory bell relocated so that future classes have the joy that I did in ringing it!

This site is greatly appreciated. All of you are doing a wonderful job. I really enjoyed the pictures of the old school. I spent 5 years there. My last year was spent in the new school. The memories flooded back though when I looked at the old school. Thank you SO much for adding them! So proud to be an alumni bear. ~K~ class of 2003

This is a wonderful site! I was saddened to see the high school torn down but the new school is wonderful. I have many wonderful memories of growing up in Leetonia. I no longer live there but go back often to visit my family and always enjoy it. I now live in Akron and miss the smaller community. Sara Shetler, Class of 97.

Loved the website. I am so happy that Alumni Square is being built. I was really devastated when I saw that spot where the old HS used to be and am so gratified that some things will be saved. I am especially happy to see that Jackie Batcha and George Trombitas are being remembered. They were both great LHS staff. (Ethel)nka Johnny Marshall class of '73

I was only at Leetonia for three years of my life but they were good ones. It is nice seeing the pictures of the new school but even better to see the nice things being done to remember the past.

What a GREAT website! When you live away from "home", (Leetonia will ALWAYS be home), it is a special treat to just sit back and drift through your photographs of the town. It brings back a simpler time in my life, when I would spend the summer days at the ballfield by the creek,(is THAT still there???), and then walk home in the dark and know that my parents were sitting on the front porch swing. It was a Beaver Cleaver childhood, and I value that more than you would ever know. These are tremendous things you are doing..the preservation efforts, this website, and I am proud to be considered an alumni. Kirby Reese, class of '68....kreese1864@aol.com

Even though I still live near Leetonia, we tend to become so busy with our daily lives, families, etc...that it is difficult to keep in touch with those we shared most of our first 18 years with! It is awesome to have such a great website which can help to bridge some of those gaps. Thanks for all the hard work, it's a great site and I will continue to check it out from time to time.

Submitted 7-2-05 by Linda (Majewski) Lorimor from Mountain View, California, Leetonia High School Class of 1969!!! -SO PROUD!-

My sister Barb (Class of '66) in Florida told me to check this site out. I haven't been through the whole thing yet, but the pictures of the high school made me cry, as I haven't seen it in years. It was still standing the last time I was "home," which was in 1991.

I have such wonderful, fond memories of my time there, both at the high school and "growing up" in Leetonia in general. Though I haven't been back in a long time, hopefully someday I'll make it for a reunion or. . . just because I love that place!

It will always be "home"!!

All the best to everyone!

Wow!!! The NEW Leetonia High School is pretty impressive. The current students should be so proud to attend such a nice school. I graduated in 1984, and when I look at the pictures of the old school, it brings back so many memories. If I could return to 1984, I would return to Leetonia High School in a heartbeat. It's a place that I will always call "home". Judy (Taucher) Weiss

I didn't see anyone from '93 here, but I thought I'd ask anyway...does anyone remember the time capsule that the 4th grade class at Orchard Hill (the only class of three not at Washingtonville) buried in front of the big rocks? We got on the front page of one of the papers when we buried it. I guess it was forgotten when we graduated, and probably bulldozed when the new school went in. If anyone has any information, it'd be interesting. Sam Shirey '93

I just wanted to say I love the website it brings back many thoughts of youth, which at times seems so far away. The only thing I see that is missing is a way to get in touch with classmates and friends, maybe a where are they now thing. also is there going to be a reunion for the class of '94?

thanks......Hope Batman-Shafer class of '94
