EXODUS Jan., June ’42 Ruth Berglund, Ray Calati, and Frank Mohorcic were chief assistants. The crew of this ship began to diminish in number, as some members of the class bailed out to join the armed forces of the country and to work in defense factories to win the war in which our country had engaged. The extra-cur- ricular and scholastic work of the rest of the crew went on as usual, but now they were leaders and guided the un- derclassmen. The Blue and Cold, un- der the guiding hand of Elmer Manley, with the capable assistance of Mary Rozeski, Evelyn Wlosek, Suzanne Frauenthal, and Bob Davis, continued to bring the news to the school and to win national recognition. The Student Council, under the leadership of Ray Stanish, represented the student body well and accomplished much for the good of the school. The club program was piloted by Jerome Shapiro in the Lincoln Club, Ray Stanish in the Na- tional Honor Society, Sarah Barclay in Senior Friendship, David Nichols in the Chem-Cam Club, and your histori- an in the Athenaeum Society. The last part of the adventure was well begun when plans for the Senior Revue were made. Richard Betton, with the help of committees and a “grand bunch of troupers, made this a success. Eugene Filsinger and Rich- ard Egan will long be remembered as the capable Masters of Ceremonies which they were. And who will ever forget that bevy of beauties? The army scene, the Frankie and Johnny act, and that memorable Carmo Varandah dance will be recorded in indelible ink in the annals of this journey. Tony Leta and his dance band supplied the music for the Revue, and their inter- pretation of “Liebestraum” will long be remembered. The extra-curricular work of these pilots could not dim their scholastic ability. Late in the semester the language awards were presented to three seniors. The award for excellence in French was given to Elizabeth Farnfield. Evelyn Cwiklen- ski, having valiantly studied Latin for three semesters, received the Latin medal. Dorothy Cooper received the award for excellence in German. Oth- ers had made arrangements for further training before they attempted the so- lo flight. Ed Hayes, Jerome Shapiro, Marjorie Kirts, Merle Miller, Fred Wirt, Ruth Berglund, Liliian Wynne, Catherine Spellacy, Elizabeth Farn- field, and Dorothy Cooper won schol- arships to Adelbert, Flora Stone Math- er, Fenn, Baldwin-Wallace, Notre Dame, and Cleveland Colleges. By this time plans for graduation, the landing field for this journey were being made. The script was being written, the commencement chorus was practicing, with the theme the symbol of freedom for which our country is fighting. Plans for the dinner-dance, the last social gathering of the class were made. Harold Allick, with the help of a committee from the homerooms, made arrangements for the affair to be held at the Tudor Arms Hotel on May 16. There they came, young men and young women, to share an evening with the friends with whom they had traveled the same course for three years. They knew that very soon they would part and each one would fly his own course. But they ate and danced, and went home a merrier crew, be- cause they knew that they would nev- er forget that evening and that it would be a bright spot in their lives through the years that were to come. At last on June 10, at Masonic Au- ditorium, they came to the end of their flight. The theme of the graduation was the American flag. Ed Hayes, Catherine Spellacy, Richard Betton, Dorothy Cooper, Leo Sandel, and Ray Stanish told of the progress of the country and the flag. They told how all this would affect the course of their lives. Then they received their diplomas and left the training ship. They had piloted a glorious course which never will be forgotten and which will be followed by many. Hon- ors had come to them in scholastic, athletic, and extra-curricular work. Now they were each seeking a new ship, a new course, and they would have to fly alone.
