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]

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]

19 3 4 THE BINNACLE THE SAILORS BEQUEATH Wc, tlx efficacious Class of January, 19)4, being in good health and of sound mind (although the l2B’s would have you believe otherwise) do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. Article One To Mr. Frank P. Whitney, skipper of the good ship, Collinwood, wc bequeath the right to guide other sailors in their voyages, wishing him a calm sea and fair skies. To Mr. Carl J. Stringer, pilot, is left the dull routine of an uneventful sailing, which must of necessity be his after our departure. We also grant to him such sundry duties as arc explained in detail in Article Three. Article Two The 12B's have already received from us a beautiful loving-cup which they erroneously believe to be tin. We wish hereby to correct this mistaken idea, for the cup is made of shect-meial. May they in turn be as magnanimous as we! We also present to the June class the traditional right of every 12A—getting by with murder. Article Three: Minutiae Henry Reinhard, commander, bestows upon George Bowen his qualities of leadership. Bill Dodge’s vocabulary, which has astounded so many of us, is reluctantly granted to Ray Thomas, whose friends, it is said, are forced to consult Webster in order to appreciate Ray’s linguistic ability. From all of Frances Kocjan's great gifts, she selects her secretarial ability to go to Jane August. Bill Petti, whose coquetry is unsurpassed, graciously permits Roscoc Fulgan to try his best to approach it. Be prudent, Roscoe! Ruth Rulon leaves the somewhat doubtful joys of writing editorials to the next editor-in-chief of the Spotlight. George Theuer has decided to entrust his refulgent top to Mr. Stringer, whom he considers the only one who can really appreciate its rosy glory. George has arranged for careful redistribution, however. Mr. Stringer is to hand it to Harry Knox for the next semester, and, in subsequent 12A classes, to anyone who meets the obvious physical requirements. [30]
