19 3 4 THE BINNACLE ATHLETICS Boys' Sports After many years of preparation, Coll inwood finally reached its goal, a place in the athletic sun. In the fall of 1932, the first year in the Senate Football League, Collinwood outclassed all other teams, and won the championship. Due to the very fine record csablishcd that fall, the team played a charity game against Latin and was defeated for the first time by the score of 13-0. Much of the success of that season can be attributed to four members of our class, 1 larry Pahner, Mike Zappia, Walter Kovic, Joe Tomaro. Harry Pahner in the season of ’32 played end, and in ’3 3 played both fullback and end, making a letter each year. He has also earned two letters in basketball as well as one in track. He is a member of the Collinwood Varsity C” Club. Mike Zappia, president of the Varsity O' Club, besides earning a letter in football, has earned two each in basketball and track. Being ineligible for play in his last semester, he devoted his time to being assistant manager and doctor for the varsity football and basketball teams. Walter Kovic and Joe Tomaro, who also belong to the Varsity C” Club, alternated at the left guard position of the stalwart line of ’32. By earning a letter in track, Frank Mlakar also won admission to the Varsity C” Club. He was one of the city’s outstanding quarter-milers last spring as well as a dependable anchor man in the relays. Charles Lumadue won a letter in track in his senior year, thereby gaining admission to the Varsity C Club. He was one of Coach Pludson’s best half-milers. Another who is a member of the Varsity C” Club, but who is little known to others, is Joe Romano. Joe has been manager of the athletic teams during his high school career and is regarded by the players as the finest little manager in or out of captivity.” At his graduation, Mr. Charles Dunkel, faculty manager, will lose a most dependable and able assistant. ■ [28]

THE BINNACLE 19 3 4 Although many do not know it, Coll in wood has a tennis team. It is not a recognized major sports activity and therefore the players receive little publicity. Robert Gardner has been one of Coach Weir’s most consistent players for three years. Charles Fox played for one year. These boys have given their time and energy for the school without receiving any rewards other than the personal satisfaction that comes with victory. There are also students who have gone out for some branch of athletics, but who were not successful in earning letters. They arc Edmund Rosenberg, Robert Duthie, Herman Lefkof, John Thornhill, Robert Weber, George Theuer, Oscar Anker, Chester Disantis, Robert Ehinger, and Lewis Goss. Besides participating in athletics, George Theuer won the Greater Cleveland Health contest when a 10B, thereby winning one of the two scales the school now possesses. 2 3vf 9 Girls’ Sports Three girls who have done outstanding work in the Physcal Education Department are Kathryn Greshauge, Frances Stcuhringer, and Jean Capasso. Kathryn Greshauge, who was a Greater Cleveland I lealth contest winner and receiver of one of the school scales, has been a student leader for live semesters and by her personality and manner easily won the respect and confidence of other girls. At all times she has been a pleasant and capable assistant to Miss Mary H. Steeds, senior girls’ athletic instructor. Frances Stuehringer has been one of Miss Steeds’ most reliable helpers. She was always willing to accompany at the piano or to assist any of the student leaders. She has been a capable and cooperative worker. As a basketball captain, Jean Capasso has been most successful. I Icr homeroom was always represented by a complete team. On several oceaisons she has had three teams in the gym ready for play. As a leader and an organizer in athletics she is unsurpassed. [29]
