Class History FEBRUARY 1933—FEBRUARY 1937 a HORDE of grammar school graduates filled with infinite wisdom paraded A through the halls of East Side High School for the first time in the year A nineteen hundred and thirty-three. We were accosted by imposing, scornful seniors who severely reproved us for infracting the regulations of the school. Disgusted in not finding the elevators which we were assured were in the build- ing, the little angels trod the stairs and were guided through the one-way traffic from room to room. Much to our keen disappointment, the Freshmen Frolic program, for reasons un- known, was denied us. The main attraction was to be the accompanying gift, a lollypop. To think that we had been denying ourselves sweets for days for the main purpose of enjoying the anticipated charm to its fullest extent. However, our spirits were soon revived. The commercial, technical, musical, and literary resources of the school were made known to us from which we were to reap a vast amount of knowledge and pleasure. Another important feature was that each student was to meet new friends. One of the essentials of our training and edu- cation is to be able to make new friends and to co-operate with one another. Thus the freshies took their hands out of their pockets, hoisted the anchor and steered for the open sea with all hands on deck. Sophomores! What a relief not to be called freshmen anymore. The new fresh- men were soon given a dose of high school hospitality which was very unexpected. Along with our fun also came our troubles. We had advanced and were taking advanced subjects. In the mathematic’s class, one did not know whether the pupils were marveling at the wonders of algebra or the contrast of the white chalk on the black slate. We were introduced to that grand fellow, Caesar, both in Latin and English. Those of the German class can well remember Miss Bernkopf’s gallant fight with the weak verbs. The would-be typists’ enthusiasm waned all too soon when they became accustomed to the routine. Cooking and sewing were taken up by the girls. The cooks must have been a great success for we still can smell the delightful (?) aroma of their chili sauce. Sophistication became another important issue, among the girls. They became make-up artists and began to attend the weekly 4A dances. All the wiles and charms of Cleopatra were exercised to vamp the senior boys but to no avail. Taking all, in all, we were taking an interest in the academic and commercial subjects, athletics, and social activities. We entered the third year older and wiser individuals. We were elated because we knew we were going to the assembly with the seniors. As to our knowledge, we learned from Mr. Laughton which way the wind was blowing by wetting our fingers and holding them out of the window. From Mr. Buttcrworth’s lectures, we learned many interesting facts pertaining to the hardships of life. However the teachers have taught us truths vital to our future though we evi- dently didn’t think so at the time. ♦ Page Twenty-eight THE TORCH —JANUARY 1 937 ♦

In the second half of our third year our class was organized and Mr. Haeseler was appointed our class advisor. The first class officers were George Kranick, President; Jane Gustave, Vice-President; John Fitzsimmons, Secretary, and Andrew Buzcak, Treas- urer. The Senior year rolled around and proved to be the most eventful of the entire four years. We elected Senior B officers and they were George Kranick, President; Lillian Camy, Vice-President; Joseph Zuckerbrod, Secretary, and Andrew Buzcak, Treasurer. First we were ushered into the realms of United States History” where we strug- gled with the political and historical development of the United States. Then the sweet-smelling aromas of the chemistry class were inhaled with a choke and a smile. Of course we were ree’ed” by the Senior A’s” and found ourselves full-pledged seniors. After the ceremony we went upstairs where we had a fine time dancing, play- ing games and enjoying the delicacies prepared for us. Passed on to the A” grade we again elected officers. The President and Treas- urer kept their offices for the third time. Jane Gustav and Anne Palumbo were elected Vice-President and Secretary, respectively. The weekly dances were organized and special attractions were featured which afforded an enjoyable time to all participants. The Torch Staff was chosen with Joseph Zuckerbrod as the editor. Members of the staff were seen hustling and bustling about looking for material. Then there was our play, Man or Mouse” which proved to be a great success under the able guidance of Miss Kartlukc. Now the outside world was beckoning us. Soon we were to pass through the portals into the maze of life. Although we were eager to step out into the world, many of us were touched with sadness at leaving our dear Alma Mater which had been our haven and shelter for four years. Yet one must travel onward to bring about the realization of lofty aspirations. Our ship of state had put into port and left in its wake fond recollection. The success of our further adventures in life will depend on the success of our voyage. Nothing succeeds like success.” ♦ THE TORCH —JANUARY 1937 Pago Twenty-nine ♦
