CLASS HISTORY On September 8, 1934, sixteen very happy and cheerful students appeared in Room 3 to begin their high school term. Mr. Fretz was our Home Room teacher. Two of our boys, Roy Logan and Nicholas Ralich made the first team in basketball. The freshman year seemed to be the most difficult year in High School. We ended the year with our sixteen classmates and decided we had spent a successful year. In 1935 we came back with fifteen of our classmates. Elizabeth Moldovan, Oliver Moon, john Mikitka, and Donna Myers moved and continued their schooling elsewhere. Thelma Conrad is going to Notre Dame Academy in Cleveland. Fortunate Naro and Emma Cunning' ham quit to go to work, and Louis Patek got a job on a lake freighter and has spent two success' ful years on the boats and has enjoyed it very much. We had a new girl, Evelyn Biscan, join our class. We had no time for leisure. We spent most of our time on our school work. In 1936 we were admitted to Room One with Miss Frisbie as our home-room teacher. We had eight students. but Helen Diosy and Margaret Polesko quit to go to work, so that left only six in our class. We are sorry that all of our classmates could not remain with us because we certainly have had a very pleasant time even though we have had to work. During our junior Year we visited Nela Park, The Cleveland Illuminating Plant, The National Tube, The Elyria Waterworks, and a Court Case. We had such a small class that we had to work hard to earn money for the junior-Senior treat. We visited Kelly's Island in May and everyone had a most enjoyable time. In 1937, six students came back to school as fullffledged Seniors. After a few weeks Nicholas Ralich left us, leaving only five. During the first week we chose our class officers, our motto, Tonight we take off-where shall we land, our class colors, blue and white, and our flower, the carnation. We worked hard to publish this fifth annual which we feel will be a great success. We have enjoyed our four years of active high school work and hope everyone else will enjoy it as much as we have. As a climax to our high school education we are planning a trip to Washington shortly after graduation and expect to have a grand time. We,'the Senior Class of Brookside High School, 1938, having been duly pronounced sane by all authorities, do hereby bequeath this, our last will and testament, to the faculty and pupils, trusting that they will cherish and use them to the best of their ability: I, Kathleen Patek, leave my studious nature to Stella Radyk. I, Roy Logan, leave my position as center on the basketball team to Bernard Wood. I, Betty Patek, leave my ability to play the trumpet and an empty chair in the orchestra to Anna Melbar. I, Steve Gacse, leave my fame as a dancer and a man about town to Robert Taylor. I, Edward Dotzlaf, leave my place at the head of the honor roll to Boris Pando. We leave the class of 1939 one row of seats in room 1. We leave our many privileges to the juniors, may they use them correctly and not put too great a strain on any of them. Last, we cherish many fond memories of our school and teachers and hope that classes to come will have memories just as fond and firmly imbedded in their hearts as these are in ours. We, the Senior Class of 1938, in witness have signed and sealed our last will and testament this 25th day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirtyfeight. Senior Class of 38 Six
