2I 8 35 Cl QCOI' 0 fAQ parif and .MCMOIV We, the january class of 1943, look back upon our years at East High School as years of much activity and accomplishment. Upon entering its lofty portals in January, 1940, we enthusiastically started upon our new high school life. Our first two years rolled by with amazing rapidity. As our senior year approached, the United States was entering into a second World War. This war influenced our school life tre- mendously. As a result, we found ourselves taking part in many war activities. These in- cluded the sale of war stamps, a spirited scrap drive, purchase of war bonds with sales tax money, commando gym classes, and an increased wartime schedule. Heading our class were Bob Krausz, presi- dent: Helen Ebright, vice president: Helen Bar- rett, secretary: and Malcolm Kreske, treasurer. Outstanding for their scholarship were Helen Barrett, Bob Krausz, Jolene Finnell, Bernard Weisberg, and Wanda Petty. To the National Honor Society were elected Bob Krausz, Helen Barrett, Bernice Nance, and Bernard Weisberg. Quill and Scroll gained three members from our class, Helen Barrett, Pat Fields, and Bill Waterman. Those who distinguished themselves in foot- ball were George Rand and Bob Archibald, both making all-high, with Rand making first team and Archibald honorable mention. A few noteworthy personalities included Vic Pasini, treasurer of student council, and voted the most popular boy of his class. Jack Duck- worth aided East's war accomplishments by his output of model planes for the government. From the cultural standpoint, Laurabelle Zeigler made a name for herself in the line of Page F ourleen music and art, receiving a scholarship to the art school for the latter. Thus our class reaches the last rung of the high school ladder. Having gotten our diplomas, we shall go into the world with a greater degree of knowledge and a wonderful feeling of inde- pendence. pl'0l9LeCy My dear friends of the January, 1943, East High School graduating class, I knew that some day you'd finally get finished, so I, Aladdin, and my lamp do hereby prophesy: By 1953 I see Dr. Robert Krausz, A. B., B. S., Ph. D., M. D., and XYZ, for all I know, head- ing Victor Pasini's Wonderful College for Worth- while Knowledge which Victor founded after gas rationing in 1942 drove him away from his be- loved Sunoco. CNote: this is not a commercialj In Victor's college I find Ulysses Greason and james Goodrich as dignified professors of that really old-fashioned subject-Jive! But, say they, H1943 was the good old time for jive. Today we just can't get our students much in- terested. A musical faculty member is Ells- worth jordan, who just sits around and blows his own horn. In the center of the campus, a noted sculptor, Dean Thomas, has erected a simply magnificent statue of those two stupen- dous electrical wizards, Bill Mosure and Henry Gockenbach. Professors Mosure and Gocken- bach never quite recovered from the shock which they received when a young, new teacher. Norma Bornstein, turned on her charm in their direction. Pausing at the door of Wanda Pettyls class in engine construction are Dorothy Valentine and Lillian Lieberman, who say they just love to Cl 05,004 ---- grind pistons and change spark plugs. Atta girls! Speech professor is Bernard Weisberg, who says he doesn't care if his students just talk and talk. Ralph Holland and Sam Richards are very much interested in a class in food prep- aration and they are taking notes on every word their cooking teacher, jim Redifer, is saying. Whatever is this world coming to anyway? Greta Javert, dress designer, is looking long- ingly at Professor Redifer since he is her idea of a perfect man-about-the-home, but as yet he has not given her a complete tumble. In the ofiice of Pasini's Wonderful College are stenographers Norma Cash, Marjorie Ever- hart. Ruth Hunt, and Deborah Hurd busy at work on records and grade reports. Suddenly they are aroused by a terrific noise. Upon inves- tigation, this peace-disturbing racket turns out to be the singing of some melodious songbirds -in Betty Schirner's voice class. The birds -I mean the songbirds-are none other than Thelma Reid, Richard Scott, Theresa Sabino, and Wendell Brown. Would you believe it- Betty whispers that she is sure she has future Metropolitan stars in the making! And they were not noted at all in high school. At the football field Robert Archibald is dis- playing his latest football trick: a pass which he throws and then receives himself-for a touchdown. George Rand has a few football tricks up his sleeve himself, but he says if we want to know what they are, we must attend the game to be played with the Bernard Davis coached team of Kalamazoo Choo Choo College come next Saturday. Still plugging away for the old home team, eh, George? But speaking of athletics, did you know that Eugene Guess, James Zink, Fred Nesby, and jack Duckworth will become the outstanding track stars at Won- derful College? Eugene specializes in the 500-

Fred and jack both attribute their track success to some pow- erful vitamin tablets compounded by scientist Jolene Finnell. Why, those pills, says Fred, have more kick than Popeye's spinach. Students in the areonautical department are Elizabeth Hayes, Vivian Miller, and Martha Yarborough, who declare that they can hardly wait until they have assembled their first plane. Nursing injuries received in plane testing is Helen Ebright, who is truly a practical nurse! Josephine Cooper is in a class by herself: she is learning to sew! But here comes Robert Ross with his big bunch of keys. I guess he must be the night watchman because he seems to be locking up Pasini's Wonderful College for the night. Helen Barrett and Pat Fields are co-editors of the Newsy Newspaper. Star reporters are Anne Payne, noted for her witty, literary style, and Bill Waterman, the famous sports writer. Harvey Boston, owner of Boston's Bouncing Basketballs and Sports Books Company, is rolling in money and Frances Carter, his chic secretary, is doing all right, too. Two modern authors, the famous jean Cheeseman and Pat I-Iofer duo, are now working on a new book, How to Win Men and Influence Ministers. Morticians, Mine-workers, and Miscellany. They ought to know. The King Brothers Band is led by no other than Fred King. Its membership includes Ulysses Higginbotham and Whittie Creasy with Tom Sprattling as fea- tured dancer. Fred has just signed a long term contract to open at Danceland, a new night-spot to be opened soon by owner Edward Hunter. The prize-winning home of 1953 has been de- signed by the outstanding interior decorator. . Y 1.---.Y-...- , - ,.. . january gracluafing Cfadri . . . Helen Dowler. Her prize motto is Dowler Discards Dumps and Decorates Delightfullyf' The famous movie star, Albert Van F ossen, has changed managers again and now has as his agent Sanford Goldman, the man who gets results. The newest thing in hats will be found at Estella Gladney's new millinery shop. Her trade- mark originated by her star designer, Edith Hunt, is Gladden your husband with Gladney's Hats. Coming from many places to the famous den- tist, Robert Tribbett, Jr., are people with ach- ing mouths. His comforting assistants are Dene jones and Ossie Lee West, who also help to draw patients. Malcolm Kreske, the transport pilot, just broke a new record in crossing the Pacific in a 99 passenger plane. Accompanying him is the charming air hostess, Sophie Milo- shova. The up and coming artist, Laurabelle Ziegler, won another prize for her figure paint- ings. Instead of yesterday's Petty Girl, it is now the Ziegler Girl. And what a picture! The famous lecturers, Bernice Nance and Lulu Goolsby, will now be heard weekly discussing world affairs on a radio program sponsored by Pritchard's Pretty Pills for Privately Reducing developed and sold by Kenneth Pritchard. The new Mathless Hospital was built by Gene Math- less when his rich uncle died. It has on its staff Dr. Louis Reif. By the way, Helen Nord- hauser is head nurse. Last, but not least I, Aladdin, do prophesy a well-earned rest for all the members of the faculty, after this January, 1943, class has passed through the portals of East High School. As a parting favor from my genie, I bestow upon all of you the happiness which you would no doubt wish for yourselves by allowing you to rub this lamp and make a wish. Signed, Mr. Alexander Aloysius Aladdin W!! We, the members of the january class of 1943, being of sound mind and body, do hereby make and declare this our last will and testa- ment. Dean Thomas wills his ability to find excuses for not attending his classes, especially law, to anyone who thinks he can get by with it. Bob Archibald has decided to leave his great tech- nique with the girls to David Brown. Here's good news from Norma Bornstein, who has just left her drape shape to the most desperate 12B. For anyone needing advice on how to write letters to that certain someone, Norma Cash is the person to see. Curly hair and brilliancy are offered by Ber- nard Weisberg to Dick Wolf Levison. The teachers who thought they were not to be tor- mented any longer are doomed to disappoint- ment because, added to his own, Howard Gil- lard has just inherited Wendell Brown's silli- ness in class. Jean Cheeseman gratefully wills her ability to wear clothes to all lowerclassmen who wish they were in her place for at least one day. Helen Dowler leaves all her Hirtatious ways to any girl wanting a man. To Bob Wilkins go those whirling roller skates of Marjorie Everhart. Next year's senior music class should be perfect in harmony, be- cause Henry Gockenbach is leaving them his fine voice. CContinued on Page 20j Page Fifteen
