EXODUS Jan., June ’42 The boys and girls of the olive drab selected as their commissioned officers Don Harris, President; Leona Mady, Vice-Pres.; Dick Cebhardt, Secretary; Leigh Baker, Treasurer, and Ronald Smith, Sergeant-at-Arms. With this came the Athenaeum Society, claiming a good number of the girls of ’42 as members and the National Honor So- ciety again bestowed memberships on such recruits as Agnes Chuhran, Frances Moody, Lois Ann Obrock, Florence Vacka, and Jane Fong, along with yours truly. Meanwhile, such aspiring journalists as Dale Clark, Wayne Turgeon, Ella Bollinger, Ruth Ainsworth, Alice Hein, Dorothy King, Ronald Smith, Bob Platt, Jane Metz- ger, Anna Jane Sirey, and Agnes Stacks became members of the cub staff, and James Edwards became the Blue and Cold's photographer; they later be- came members of the regular staff. The last semester saw new officers spring from the ranks of the Blue Bomber Battalion of '42. Don Harris and Leigh Baker became the President, and Vice-President, respectively, of the Student Council. Jack Whitelock became president of the class, while the other officers elected were Tony Germano, Vice-President; Lillian Hing, Secretary; Dick Cebhardt, Treasurer, and Jim Haddad, Sergeant-at-Arms Elections in the Athenaeum saw Flor- ida Fajfar become President. The day that the class had looked forward to with a feeling of suspense finally came, and Laura Auble became the Mantle Orator. For the first time at East High the idea of a 12-A discussion class was tried. It was the duty of the class to write and plan the Senior Revue, one of the most important events in the life of the seniors. In this production First Lieutenant Ronald Smith had the part of the Master of Ceremonies, Ser- geant Don Harris was the villain, Pri- vate Dorothy McCuffin the poor, de- fenseless widow, and Corporal Don Butler the tightwad producer. It was a big night for the seniors, and it can be safely said that it was a big success. The football squad came into the spotlight and had as enlisted members Frank Umstead and the two Jims— Adams and Haddad. The team had a good season, climaxed by the choice of Jimmy Haddad as a member of the Press All-Scholastic team that went to Florida for the Kumquat Bowl game, which of course was won by the inva- ders. Jim Adams received honorable mention for his work as a guard on the team. There were quite a number of athletics letters represented in the graduating class; for instance, Three Letterman Jim Adams had received a letter for football, track, and wrest- ling. Also there were Two Lettermen, Bob Woodruff and Tony Colangelo, each having received two awards for track work. In hockey Leigh Baker and Harold Bartell each received let- ters, and the fields of wrestling and baseball were represented by Frank Umstead and Levester Corley, respect- ively. As the period of intensive training drew to a close, the full-fledged sol- diers turned their thoughts toward the Dinner High for some time, the sen- iors' last social get-together was held in the ball room of Wade Park Manor. At this event Capt. Ronald Smith took over the job of toastmaster, and Miss Gertrude V. Powers and Mr. James B. Fenwick were guest speakers. The solemn occasion of commence- ment left the students brave and well equipped to go forward and attack the trials and tribulations of everyday life outside the school. The commence- ment program was high-lighted by speeches given by three students on the subject Education for Defense.” The speakers were Florida Fajfar, Al- den Wilson, and Jim Adams. It has been a very full twelve years . . .years in which many friends were made and many experiences of deal- ing thoughtfully and tactfully with others were obtained. Some of the once-so-shy-and-thoughtful recruits will continue on in such offcers’ train- ing camps as Western Reserve Univer- sity and Cleveland College, while oth- ers will do battle in the everyday working world, and it is highly proba- ble that many will be called into the real armed forces of Uncle Sam. Well. . .it’s all over. . . we’ll miss it, and the pleasant associations we’ve made. 8
