(X JANUARY CLASS OF 1] Colunwood High School CLEVELAND, OHIO ALMA MATER Oh Col I inwood, thy praises now we sing; Dear Collin wood, to thee our gifts we bring. IVe hail thy colors, both the blue and gray, Thy spirit leads us on our upward way; And as we come to take our leave of thee, IVe pledge our love our faith and loyalty. Oh Collinwood, thy sons and daughters free, Go forth to love and serve humanity; The lessons thou hast taught in hall andfield Shall be to us a bulwark and a shield; And ij the years shall bear us Jar from theey We 'll hold thy name in hallowed memory. Music by Sibelius Words by A. H. Ford 'AVE you learned to think accurately and purposefully? Until you are certain that your thinking is based upon well established truths, you will not have learned to think properly. Do you act promptly as a result of your thinking? Any action taken before you are certain that your thinking has been precise and accurate, and that your conclusions will stand the acid tesi of critical judgment will be premature. The extent to which you have learned to think accurately and act promptly is a direct measure of the effectiveness of your education. When you have learned to do these things efficiently and effectively without undue hesitation, you will then have become a useful member of society. You will then have the right to be thought of as an educated person. . 1 Principal Jumping Joe is surely some guy. To match Mr. Landis isn't as easy as pie. For little tips about the Prom, Miss Rebert's the lady, thank you, Madame. Get out of Miss Hornbeck's homeroom? Don't ever try it. Cause if you do, you'll cause a riot. Mr. Zahour's the man who wanders the hall. If you're caught by him you're behind the eight ball. Watterson knows all the answers; He teaches his homeroom to move like panzers. Modern problems is Miss Erickson's dish. To pass this course is a 12A's wish. Attention always is Miss Patterson's theme. Just ask the girls who like to dream. Mr. Avery's the man we'll never forget. He'll give you two zeros for the best answer yet. In Mrs. Masters' homeroom they call her Ma,'' Because she's such a pal, tra-la. Tempera, show-card, paste pot flurries— Miss Wilson's part in class book worries. Mr. Stringer is the 12A adviser, With his ideas he is no miser. Miss Wood's head aches from the booklet, Ideas stream from her like a brooklet. ;'Dedication Y; ORN in a period of economic disaster, raised during a depression, and starting on the road of life in a world thrown into chaos by the mad desires of a dictator, we who are about to graduate find ourselves faced with the problems of a post-war world. The war is not over, but victory will be ours. We are suffering the pangs of anxiety, loneliness, and despair; our brothers, sisters, uncles, and friends fight and die so that we may live in a free democracy; we'll never let them die in vain. We who have had the marvelous advantages of a free public education pledge ourselves to use that learning toward the preservation of peace; we pledge ourselves to be ever watchful of the manner in which the post-war problems are solved. Let us all pray that we shall learn from the mistakes our parents made in the period following World War I. We realize that our nation is the big brother to a family of nations which look up to us in admiration for our advancement. Only through education has this advancement been possible. This is the one thing which no one can take from us and will be our guiding light to a peaceful world. Most of the mistakes in this world are made through ignorance and ignorance cannot survive where educated people live. God gave talents fo each of us. If we make good use of those talents we will have a better world to live in. V V HO'S lhat good looking boy with the big smile, the one surrounded by 12A's? It must be their eHicient and popular president. He has proved to be a willing and talented leader. When confronted by problems and complaints he has been able to give as well as receive suggestions. Outside of his executive duties. President Morris has shown himself an able athlete. He has played on a championship baseball loam as well as putting his best in basketball, football. and bowling teams. 1 wish at this lime to express my gratitude and appreciation for the generous cooperation ot the class in the various activities which have made this class a success. 1 hope that in the future, when we look back on those memorable days we will look on them with both pleasure and satisfaction. JIHE first lady of the class is vice-president lean Pika. Her resourcefulness has been a boon to all of us. Through all our trials and troubles her sunny personality has been a light for us to follow. The day for which we have long waited is here, and now that it is here we regret that we have to depart from our classes, teachers, and most ot all. our friends who have become so dear to us. We now realize that the past years spent in Collinwood have been our happiest. J would like to wish every kind of success and pleasure to all of my co graduates now. and 1 wish to thank everyone who helped me to fulfill my duties as vice-president. JEAN PIKA DON MORRIS CLASS OFFICERS EDITH LACONTI JOHN VENABLES ill HE busiest pen of the year belongs to Secretary LaConti. She has done a qrand job in arranging the appointments for the graduation pictures. The class made sure of correct and precise records when Edith acquired the office of secretary. In addition to the duties of this office. Edith has been an active and valuable member of the Student Council, play production class, and the gym leaders organization. And when you part from your friends, grieve not. For that which you love most in him becomes clearer, as the mountain to the cl'.r.rber is clearer from the plain . . . The Prophet By Kahil Gibran When we part from our friends only then do we realize and see all their good qualities. NE would hardly suspect John Venables of-concealing heavy financial troubles under that smooth, placid countenance. But he has done his task well. Because of his experience in the school bank the class decided that he was just the man for treasurer. They know now that a better man could not have been found. As treasurer of this January Class of 1945. it has given me the greatest of pleasure to have handled your money. To my assistants and all who have aided in the task.

SEASON'S Scoring 25 touchdowns and 7 extra points, the Railroaders rolled up 157 points this season. In the touchdown race. Mike Cannavino and Nick DiCicco lead the team, each having tallied 8 times. COLLINWOOD..........20 COLLINWOOD...........7 COLLINWOOD..........12 COLLINWOOD...........6 COLLINWOOD..........44 COLLINWOOD...........6 COLLINWOOD..........44 COLLINWOOD...........0 COLLINWOOD..........18 157 The playing of Jack Harbin, senior letter-man. will be missed next year. Harbin, who plays right guard, is shown as he drives upheld while returning one of the kickoffs of the East Tech game. r Floyd Longman, promising young halfback is shown as he gams yardage against Cathedral Latin who. by whipping Collinwood 45 to 0. gained Charily game success. Record Floyd Longman is next with 5 and he is followed by Bill dicker, Ralph Heinlz, Jack Schenk, and Ed Rymarczyk, who each rolled up 6 points. SANDUSKY.............13 SHAW.................19 EAST.............• . 7 HEIGHTS...............7 GLENVILLE.............6 EAST TECH.............9 CENTRAL..............12 LATIN ...............45 BENEDICTINE .... 7 ' 125 Floyd Longman crashes over for a touchdown, while three Glenville men hang on, as the Railroaders roll over Glenville 44 to 6. ☆ Here again Latin's power is shown as Ralph Heinlz, Collin-wood back is being hit hard while attempting an end run. ALTHOUGH small and incxperionccd compared L to the powerful football teams produced in the soasons of '42 and '43 our team has shown that by working together they could ovorcome the obstacles of weight and inexperience. With a season's record of 5 wins and 4 losses, they havo provon that while not being powerful enough to enter the Charity Game, they upheld the tradition that has made the Collinwood teams the main threat and terror of the east side. As wo look back on tho season, we will never forget the thrill packed game at Sandusky in which the Railroadors. sparked by Mike Cannavino's brilliant playing, trounced tho mighty Sandusky eleven 20 to 13. Then Shaw finally ended Collinwood's four season winning streak by edging us 19 to 7. Collinwood came back the following weok to defeat East High by the small margin of 12 to 7. Next the Five-Pointers bowed to Cleveland Heights. 7-6, in a thriller in which Collinwood lead for three quarters and eleven minutes. Collinwood thoroughly outplayed Hoights except in passing. Heights completed nine passes out of nineteon attempts, while Collinwood completed only three out of thirteen. Cannavino, our driving fullback, climaxed an 83-yard drive by smashing over from the five-yard line to put the Railroadors ahead 6-0. With one minute to play. Consolo of Heights threw a pass to Siegal in tho end-zone to lie the score. The Hilltoppers' center thon went back to kick the point that edged the Railroaders 7-6. Next the Railroaders mol an improved Glenville eleven and triumphed 44-6. Collinwood was given a scare in the first quarter by being held scoreloss by the brilliant playing of Glenville's star backs. Joe Bowers and Trent Longo. But the Railroaders finally put on the steam and virtually rolled over the Tarblooders in the remaining three quarters. The blue and grey of Collinwood next met a powerful and undefeated East Tech team in a real thriller at Shaw Stadium. Immediately after the opening kick off the Collinwoodites took the ball to the Tech's 15-yard lino where they were finally stopped by tho Scarabs' forward wall. Tech then look possession of the ball and after throe unsuccessful attempts to crash our dofonses. their fullback Ray Stuckort puntod tho ball out of danger. The half ended with a scoreless tie. Tho first part of the third quarter was an even tussle, but in the closing minutes, the Carpenters got their break by driving the Railroaders deep into their own territory and we were forced to kick. Jack Harbin's kick was blocked and the ball rolled into the end zone whore a Tech man fell on it for an automatic safety. When the gun went off at the end of the third quarter, the Carpenters were ahead by the score of 2 to 0. Midway in the last quarter the Carpenters drove deep in to Collinwood's territory, and from tho 13-yard stripe Joe Rathy threw a pass to End Bill Harris who went over for a touchdown. Ray Stuckert then made the conversion. The Railroaders were not yet out of the game. Two passes from Mike Cannavino to Bill Mauser advanced the ball to the Tech 45 yard line. Two more passes from Cannavino to Mauser and Glickcr brought the ball to the 14-yard line. On the next play Cannavino dropped back and throw a forward pass to Bill Glickcr for the payoff as he scored standing up. Cannavino then failed to make the conversion. Soon after, the game ended with East Tech on top by fhe score of 9 to 6. Next we met Central at Thomas Edison field where we wholloped them 44-12. In meeting Latin the following week we suffered the worse defeat in recent years. Latin showed its amazing powor and speed which finally carried them undefeated and to Charity Game success by whipping Collinwood 45 to 0. Aftor losing to Latin we bowed out, winners over Benedictine. 18-7. Coach Vaccariello has done a fine job with the £oys this year and has found some fine playors in the ranks. We also wish Urban Vaccariello success in his future years and we all wish to thank him for his representation of football as a hard, clean game. MANY BRILLIANT PLAYERS have performed for the Railroaders in the last 17 years and some were mighty fine backfield men. Among these, such fullbacks as Nate Diliberto and Tony Adamle will always rank high in the annals of high school football. But more brilliant and more sensational is the outstanding performance of our own Mike Cannavino. Mike, who has made the number 23 jersey a scourge to east side teams by his hard tackling and line smashing power, is recognized as one of the most promising college hopefuls. Twice he has represented Collinwood on the noted Press All-Scholastic teams and thero is no doubt that he would have made it again last year had ho not been drafted into the Army. After serving- months in tho Army, ho was discharged because of a nervous condition and returned to his first love, football. This year whilo trying to play a hard, clean game of football ho has been troubled by being punched, kicked, and thoroughly roughod up by some of his opponents to tho point of almost being soriously maimed. Bewil-derod, Mike says that he hqs tried to play a clean game and he feols that if such performances continue. football will be lowered to such a point that brute strength will provail. During most of the 1941 campaign he was the Railroaders blocking back because the ball toting corps consisted of such talented performers as Pete Palumbo ard Tony Adamle. In tho Plain Dealer Charity game in which Collinwood lied Lincoln. 12 to 12, Cannavino blossomed out as a capable ball ccrrier, and there has been no stopping him since. During most of the season ho keeps his hair cut unusually short, but be believos and I quote: I never did think much of these Romeos who come out for football because they wanted to make a hit with tho girls. In youngor days, he always kept it lrimmod close to his scalp, which earned him the nickname Schutchie. This, his last year of high school football, has without doubt been his most successful one. Not only has he made All-Scholastic honors but he has also boon named on the All-Ohio team of 1944. As Miko stands on the threshold of his college career, we. tho 12A class of Collinwood wish him all the luck and success that ho dosorves. ★ ★ ★ Another sonior letterman. who earned his letter in the season of '43. but who was ineligible this year is Arthur Tibyash. Art. who is a typical football player with his broad shoulders and rugged build, made the varsity in his first year. He was declared ineligible this year because he was one of the few boys choson for a tryout in professional baseball. After spending almost tho whole summor with a New York farm team. Art wisely decided to return to school and complete his education. In carrying out this decision Art has earned the respocl and admiration of the whole school. When Tom Hubbard graduated last Juno, our football team was in need of a new man to take over tho kicking duties and immediately Jack Harbin stepped forward. He took ovor these duties with relative ease and turned out to be a valuablo asset to the team. Because of his steady performance and dependability. Jack earned his letter this year and his loss will be felt in the coming season. ljji S we come to take our leave of Collinwood yW. High School, we can look with pride to the classmates who were members of our basketball team. They were coached by Harry Newman, one of the best coaches in the district. They were members of last year's East Side Champions. We will never forget those games at the Public Hall where they were nosed out in the last few seconds. They also got to play nine games of the fourteen game schedule this season. Their loss at midseason will be felt. We can point with pride to Mike Scutchie Cannavino, guard on the '42 -'43 squad, and say he played hard and clean to the sound of the final gun both in basketball and football. Bill Dogger Davies is proof of the statement that good things come in small packages. Standing only 5' 6 Bill was a stellar performer. He played forward and was a letterman of the '43 -'44 squad. Ken Delfs, the big boy of the team, stands 6' 4 . He played center for his last two years. His height made him a stalwart man on defense. All-American Art Bebs Tibyash was also a member of the championship team. Art deserves the title of All-American because he is the only boy to gel a letter in three sports, baseball, football. and basketball. Ernie Malza Rua played a guard and a forward positon. He was elected captain of the '44 -'45 squad. Ernie's defensive play and ball handling was a great aid to this year's squad. Whenever you mention a basketball team at Collinwood there are two men whom you can't fail to include. They are Harry Newman and Charley Dunkel. Coach Newman's cool advice and friendship with boys stamp him as being the World's Best Coach. Not enough can be said about Mr. Dunkel for he always made sure that our boys were the best equipped. He ranks second to none for being a pal of the boys who played the game straight with him. BETWEEN HALVES TRACK IS AN ALL YEAR SPORT, featured bolh in fhe spring and in lhe fall. Il is coached under the eagle eye of William Simukka, whose training brings up the physical standards of all boys out for track. Agility, endurance, and a will to win are the essentials which made last year's cross-country team one of Collin-wood's best. Don Capella, letterman, and Roland Pahner were 12A's on the team. Frank Marki, now in the Army, and Capella provided the inter-class competition. Spring trackmen were Don Capella, Harold Seufer, Roland Pahner and Don Morris, class president. The season was successful. Honor goes to these boys for giving their time to one of Collinwood's leading sports. THE CLASS OF JANUARY '45 may well be proud of its baseball stars, Arthur Tibyash, Bill Davies, and Frank Vietz. These .three boys helped bring Collinwood the runner-up honors for the Central division of the Scholastic Baseball League. One of the main achievements in their season was making Shaw High, slate champions, come from behind in the last inning to score four runs to win. The players themselves excel in their respective positions. Arthur Tibyash was Collinwood's star catcher for two seasons, making him a two year letlerman. Art's defensive playing helped Collinwood immensely and Art finished fourth in the baiting averages of the team. Bill Davies may be small but what he lacks in size, he makes up by his excellent playing. Bill plays second base and is a fine offensive player. He ended third in batting honors. Bill, as Mr. Schafer, baseball coach, puts it was our all-around man. He plays every position but pitch and catch for our team. When Frank Matah, our star third baseman would pitch. Bill would play third base instead of second. Bill was also a letterman. One of the finest second string catchers that a team could possess, is Frank Vietz. Although Frank was in the background during most of the baseball season because of the brilliant playing of Art Tibyash, he has proven himself a real ball player. Frank didn't play enough to earn his letter but he gained valuable experience from it. Our coach, Mr. Schafer, is without doubt one of the best coaches in the city. He has turned out many fine ball players, but he has yet to achieve the major leagues. We hope that in the future one of these three boys graduating may make his dream come true. 20 years from flow Altwood, LaVerne.........Lap secretary Anderson, Kenneth ....

THY PRAISES NOW WE SING; Now comes the time for praising, thanking, and telling you how much we shall miss you. DEAR COLLINWOOD, TO THEE OUR GIFTS WE BRING. Service—the extra hours spent with the service organizations—is our repayment for knowledge received. WE BEAR THY COLORS, BOTH THE BLUE AND GRAY: Some sweated on the field; most of us cheered in the stands for the honor of the blue and gray, or just because it was fun. THY SPIRIT LEADS US ON OUR UPWARD WAY; We chose four to lead us. Our class officers piloted us safely through to graduation. AND AS WE COME TO TAKE OUR LEAVE OF THEE. WE PLEDGE OUR LOVE. OUR FAITH. AND LOYALTY. And now Commencement.. OH COLLINWOOD. THY SONS AND DAUGHTERS FREE. GO FORTH TO LOVE AND SERVE HUMANITY; By the way we live after we have graduated it will be proved that we have—or have not—learned. THE LESSONS THOU HAST TAUGHT IN HALL AND FIELD SHALL BE TO US A BULWARK AND A SHIELD; We found that teachers aren't so bad after all. They pampered our individual egos and temperaments and guided us through twelve years. AND IF THE YEARS SHALL BEAR US FAR FROM THEE. WE'LL HOLD THY NAME IN HALLOWED MEMORY. So we have made our mark. As we leave we hope the mark is deep enough and strong enough that the years will have trouble erasing it. £fon and Qataj dcib ££'teef (fj ) @cd , to SB ve and £Pelve dfaman du cr7 J His portion of the Collinwood Alma Mater is but the rephrasing of the age old philosophy of The Golden Rule, the origin of which is lost in antiquity. Moses more than 3000 years ago certainly voices its principles in his laws. Confucius, 550-481 B. C., is credited with saying; What you do not like when done to yourself do not do to others. Socrates, 469-399 B. C., is likewise credited with another statement to the same effect. Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount says; Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them, Matthew VII-12. The greatest service this or any other graduating class can render humanity is to work to the end that there be world wide acceptance and practice of the Golden Rule. Were all men and all nations to live by its simple precepts a lasting peace would certainly be brought about. The members of this graduating class are reminded that their greatest service to humanity can be by governing each voluntary action throughout their lives by the simple precepts of this one certain measure of ideal personal conduct. f fiilit ea ty 6 (Pn (Pul fy feutald Piaif FRANK ENNIS.

I'll remember April bringing rail birds out of hibernation. And the extra hardness of the office benches, The distant view seen from the tower after the long climb, Abe Lincoln who endured the crowded halls with plaster patience. The velvet folds, silent, secretive. That opened on the magic of the stage; I often saw the make-believe, the tragic, and the rhythmic there. I'll remember The chanting cheers, the blaring, marching band, Confetti, and We v ant a touchdown, please. Satin ribbon—blue and gray, yellow mums. Sad scores, glad scores, peanuts, popcorn, cracker jack. I'll remember football games. I'll remember All these little things, not only for what they are, But for what they meant to me.

SCIENCE GERMAN SOCIAL STUDIES SPOTLIGHT TECHNICAL ENGLISH FRENCH MATHEMATICS DRAMATICS fyle SReab tj iy c(?e c;ib} SB0 1 f ie 3B ue and From THE CLASS OF JUNE 1945 came eight boys who played their hearts out for the Railroader football team. They were Ralph Heinlz, Sam Ranallo. Jack Schenk. Bill Clicker. Dick Ando’sek. Peter Byrnes, Phil Ardire and John Vidmar. The team as a whole was small and inexperienced. Coach Vac look the boys in the fall and molded them into a hard, fighting, aggregation. Here is a resume of the games as they were played: SANDUSKY pass in the last minute of play and kicked the extra point. GLENVILLE Displaying a strong running attack and a tight defense the Railroaders rolled over helpless Glenville 44-6. Seven touchdowns were made in this scoring spree. Cannavino and Nick DiCicco each scored two touchdowns and Floyd Langman. Ed Rymarczyk, and Ralph Heintz scored one apiece. EAST TECH Paced by Mike Cannavino's elusive running, the Railroaders steamed by Sandusky 20-13. The Blue Devils held a 13-7 lead going into the third quarter, but Collin-wood's Cannavino racked up his second and third touchdown of the game to win. SHAW Shaw High Cardinals won their first game from us in 4 years when they took a 19-7 thriller. The game was played in a driving rain that stopped the Blue and Gray's power driving style of play. End Jack Schenk scored our only touchdown in the fourth quarter on a long pass. EAST HIGH Collinwood opened its long Senate grind by whipping East High in a close battle. At no time in the game was there a breathing spell. East took a 7-0 lead in the first period but the Railroaders came driving back before the half Jo score and make it 7-6. In the third quarter Cannavino passed to DiCicco for the winning touchdown. Final score. 12-7. Collinwood. CLEVELAND HEIGHTS The Five Pointers enjoyed a 6-0 lead for three quarters and 11 minutes, but lost out to the Hilltoppers in the last minute of play, 7-6. With the backs slashing the line and completing short passes. Collinwood drove 83 yards to score in the first period. Cannavino went over from the five-yard line for the T. D. Heights scored their winning touchdown on a Tech and Collinwood were both undefeated in Senate play and they met at Shaw Field to decide which team would stay in the running. Tech brought a huge and experienced team into the fray. Although they pul up a stubborn defense Collinwood lost 9-6. The Railroaders scored their T. D. in the closing minutes of the game. With Cannavino passing and Mauser and Glicker receiving, they drove 80 yards through the air to score. Glicker caught the payoff pass in the end zone. The Five Pointers started too late however, for after the kickoff the gun sounded. CENTRAL In the Central game the Railroaders crushed the boys trom East 55th in a 44-12 whacking. DiCicco and Langman made three touchdowns apiece and Cannavino tallied one. LATIN In meeting Latin we suffered our worst defeat in several seasons. Latin showed its amazing speed and power, which carried them into the Charity Game undefeated and earned them the title of ranking state champs. The Lions ran up seven touchdowns to win 45-0. BENEDICTINE After the Latin beating, the Railroaders bounced back in fine fashion by whipping once beaten Benedictine 18-7. DiCicco added two more touchdowns to his Season total and Cannavino got one. This game brought the 1944 football curtain down for Collinwood.

GREBENC MAROLT BASKET II ALL WITH ONLY a skeleton of the team that in '43-' 4 raced undefeated through their Senate schedule. Coach Nowman began piecing together as good a contender for title honors as was possible at the beginning of the 1344-45 season. Holdovers from that team wore Ken Delfs who saw considerable service. Bill Davies and Ernie Rua. who were used as spot players, and Red Maher. BUI Grebenc. and Ed Dwyer, who saw very limited service. To increase the hardships. Delfs. Rua. and Davies, wore slated for graduation at mid-year. To complete the squad two juniors. Trampus and Disantis. and two seniors. Marolt and Brown, were added. Ernio Rua was named Captain and Ralph Heints, another senior, was brought up after a year of inactivity following a year with the Reserves In his Sophomore year. The season opened wirh Shaw invading tho spacious Collinwood court. A fast and light ball-game ensued but the Railroaders onded up on tho short end of a 28-22 count due largely to Shaw's Ted Weil and his effective long-range shooting. In fact Shaw didn't make a single basket from up closo in the entire game. A southern excursion took the boys to Mansfield where Doggor Davies poured in 17 points through the hoops to pace a 39-36 victory over tho downstaters. Lincoln, which went on to win the West Senate Championship, went down in defeat on the Five Point floor in a merry farce. 32-22. It was surprising at the ease with which the New-men took them. Aftor reading advance notices on the greatness of Proliva and Gaffney faces turned up to soe what could be done about Rhodes as the Five Pointers traveled over to meet them, but they again surprised with a 37-27 verdict and Ken Delfs took a large hand with 16 points. Riding on the crest of a three-game winning stroak. the boys stayed on the West Side the following week as they mot Lakewood in their match box gym. Things didn't go in Collinwood's favor and they were humbled 35-18. The stage was now set for the opening Senato game which was anothor road game, this time at Adams. Five men played the whole game and with only a few seconds left to play. Ralph Heinlz sunk a foul shot to tio the game and send it into overtime. With it came the first replacement—Bill Grebenc—who sunk two quick field goals. Heinlz made another free throw and that's the way the game ended, 30-25. Although not completely bottling up A1 Stern, Glenville didn’t have a chance as they went down beforo the onrushing Railroadors who captured their 18th straight Senate triumph. East Tech's gym was not large enough to accommodate the expectod large crowd which wanted to witness the clash so it was played at Collinwood. Collinwood gained an early lead and led at the half, but Tech rallied to the task and tied the game at 25 all with a lew minutes Jo go. A foul shot gave Collinwood a one point lead and apparently victory was in sight. Toch again fouled but Collinwood elected to take the ball out of bounds and freeze it, but an intercepted pass sot up a two-pointer for Tech as they moved out in front. With 30 seconds to go the Five Pointers again look out. but again Tech stole the ball and now led by four points. As the Railroaders look out again the gun went off to end the game. With the heart of the loam broken, they traveled to visit tho Blue Bombers of East in what was expected as a breather, but in a giant upset, the Railroaders wore defeated and humiliated 37-23. Graduation came and went and Pits, Dougherty. Sedlock. Tiber and Volk, moved up from Reserves and Silla from the Juniors, to lako up the slack left by the loss of the three seniors. The first start for the rejuvenated lineup was against Sandusky in an independent skirmish. With Maher popping in long shots from the right side the boys easily won 36-29. Central invaded and with a team ot only seven men, they put up a stiff battle before succumbing to a last period rally. 39-28. Socking revenge for their humiliating football defeat, tho Railroaders wore out to defeat undofealed Latin. It was on the 107th court and a capacity CTOwd looked on. Aftor all but 30 seconds of the game completed, the score stood tiod at 21 all. BUI Grebenc then sneaked in under the basket and dropped in what proved to be the margin of victory. 23-21. Trying to keep in the running for a spot on the Public Hall basketball tournament, the basketeors traveled to Buckoye and East Blvd. to moot Benedictine, who had only one defeat and wore trying to keep pace with Latin for the championship. In a light basket-for-baskot struggle the Bengals came out on top when, with 15 seconds left to play, they sank a desperation long-shot to win. Grebenc led Collinwood to tho attack with IS points. Evon without the services of Grebenc and Maher who were ineligible, tho curtain was brought down against John Hay with a 43-16 triumph. With 4 minutes left to play. Dwyer. Hointz. Marolt. and Brown stepped off the floor for their last time. And so they closed their schedulo having played hard and given their all. Though they didn't win the championship, they still wore the most feared team in the league and will romain so as long as Collinwood High School stands! Dick Andolsek who is a big lad and well built has wrestled tor the Railroaders ever since the team was formed in 1943. Dick won all of his matches this year and lost out in the semifinal round of the City Championship tournament. Coach Vaccariello did a very splendid job of molding this fine team for Collinwood. ★ Bob Schmidt has been grunting and groaning with the wrestling team for two seasons. Bob is classified as a heavyweight, fighting in the 185 pound limit. He has earned enough points to win himself a highly regarded Collinwood C . SCHMIDT THACK CAVDEK Although Collinwood's track team never discovered any sensational cross country men or lightning fast sprinters, it has always had boys who ran with their hearts in it. Two of the boys graduating in the June '45 class who earned varsity ”C s are Victor Cavdek and George Wildemann. Cavdek ran the cross country and Wildemann ran the mile. Bill DeLembo ran in the 880 lightweight relays. Forrest Brown was the best pole vaulter Collinwood has had in a long time. He also heaved the shot pul. Bob Bregar was a dash man as was Joe Ennemoser. The boys have run hard all year and deserve plenty of credit. George Wildemann has been of the utmost importance to our cinder team. He ran on the relay team for so long that he was slowly becoming a fixture. Besides being a good distance man he also excels in his studies being in the upper third of his class. Unfortunately. George was forced to stay off the boards and cinders in his senior year, but he earned his reputation in his tenth and eleventh years. WllDEMAN HEINTZ LATKOVICH BASEBALL Every year with the first sign of spring boys begin treking into Mr. Ralph Shafer's office and asking, When do we start, Mr. Shafer?” And Mr. Shafer replies, you'll soon find out, sweetheart. Yes, the boys never can wail to start throwing the ol' pill around. Practice begins for pitchers and catchers about two weeks before the rest of the squad reports, but it always seems there's about a hundred of these pitchers and catchers who turn into infieldcrs and outfielders when the outdoor drills begin. (What some guys won't do for extra practice.) This year proved no exception, for at this writing, there were several 12A's who turned out for a tryout. Pete Knezevic, Joe Ferra, Ed Dwyer, and Wesley Turner, were the candidates. Ferra was with the team for a little while last year and much was expected of him this year. Two holdovers from last year were Ralph Heintz and Tom Latkovich. They started together in the tenth grade and made the team that year, but neither saw much action. But we do recall that Heintz batted 1.000 for the season when he got a pinch-single in his only trip to the plate. Latkovich on the other hand pitched two hitless innings of relief against East Tech in the next to the last game. As a result, much was expected of both these boys the following year but as it was, only one made good. Heintz started the season at shortstop and when his arm went bad he moved to the outfield, but his stick work was outstanding and he gave Frank Maloh a run for his money before Frank took the team batting crown. Latkovich on the other hand threw his arm out in spring drills and made only one start, against Lakewood in an exhibition game, and his performance made it evident that he wouldn’t be much use to the team tor that year. He therefore became a coach and filled the job for the remainder of the season. In 1943 the team had such players as Mah. Vaiksner, Matoh, Zaman, and Johnson and the team finished in third place. In 1944 Heintz and Matoh's pitching plus the Ray O'Neil - Art Tibyash battery carried the team within one game of the Central Division champs. Shaw High was that champ, and it went on to win the State Championship. Even so. Collinwood could have overtaken them if they'd had a few breaks. For instance there was the game with East Tech in which Ray O'Neil pitched a two-hitter only to lose on an error. 1-0! Then at Cleveland Heights he was defeated in another two hitter 2-1 on a ninth inning close decision at the plate which the Tigers got the best of. John Hay was the favorite cousin because Collinwood's first base coach got a view of the signals by the catcher and relayed them to the batters who got set for what was coming and proceeded to blast out winning games. This 1945 team should, if it continues on the upward path, carry the championship home for the reason that in the past two seasons it has ended in third and second place. A lot of credit is due to the coaching of Mr. Shafer who hates to lose. Thai’s why many think of him as being too lough on boys, but the way he looks at it, however tough he can be, it's nothing compared to what the boys will get in a baseball career, so they might as well get set for it. His favorite question is Well, what do you want to know about baseball? That is the key to his coaching—trying to teach baseball to youngsters so that they can someday make the grade. So far two of his proteges have reached the minors. They are Frank Matoh and Art Tibyash. If you look through these pages in a few years see how many of this year's team you can find following the same path, thanks to Coach Shafer. S T l F F Co-Editors GERALD GARFIELD.
