Local history: Who’s this future rock star and why did he have to hide his long hair?
The Beacon Journal archives are an endless source of intrigue. You never know what you’ll find lurking in the files.
For example, we discovered a future rock star hiding in a steel cabinet in a dusty folder that probably hadn’t been touched in decades.
His name is Myron Grombacher. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, you definitely are familiar with his work.
But more on that later.
In September 1970, Myron was a 17-year-old student at Austintown Fitch High School and embroiled in a controversy over hair length.
The Beacon Journal dispatched reporter Robert E. Hoyt to Mahoning County, outside the Akron newspaper’s usual coverage area, to write about the unusual situation unfolding at the school.
Following summer vacation that year, school administrators refused to admit 50 boys because they had long hair. Principal Merlin “Bo” Valot told the students that they couldn’t return to class until they got haircuts. Girls could have flowing locks at school, but not boys.
Every kid cut his hair … except for Myron. When the boy went to the principal’s office to ask about his schedule, Valot paused.
“Is that a wig?” Valot asked.
“Yes, sir, it is,” Myron replied.
