GILLIN DEDICATION We, the graduating class of January, 1945, wish to dedicate this book to Miss Ethel L. Gillin, former teacher of English at East. Not only her homeroom but the entire senior class has missed her kindly and dignified presence, her wavy white hair, smiling blue eyes, and her friendliness. Miss Gillin first came to East in 1919 as a physical education instructor. She has devoted twenty-five long and faithful years to teaching at East and retired—we hope not permanently— in October, 1944, because of poor health. We sincerely hope this book will recall to her pleasant mem- ories of our class, of the years she spent here and of the senior homeroom she had to give up. 5 EXODUS Jan. ’45 12A HOMEROOM TEACHERS MISS FRANCES A.

TINAN Aud. 3 6 ADMINISTRATION Jan. ’45 EXODUS I want to take this opportunity to express the appreciation and affection of the entire faculty, including myself, to the class of January, 1945. You have been helpful and loyal. I hope the years to come will be increasingly kind to you and that our friendship will continue over these years. Emmet E. Smeltz, Principal You may not have learned all the lessons your school had for you to learn, but that you have mastered enough of them to make you more nearly aware of what ought to go into your to- morrows is our hope. Grace A. Martin, Assistant Principal Your country has been at war during all the three years you have been at East High School. This was has necessitated many adjustments at home and in school. You have made these ad- justments well enough to complete your high school education. This, in itself, is an excellent tribute to all the fine people in your graduating class. J. J.

We were to be trained at East High before being sent into action on the coun- try's battlefields. Reveille was sound- ed earlier than usual that February 9, for War Time had come to Cleveland. All complacency lurking in our minds was banished by East’s first Air Raid Drill, only ten days after our induc- tion. When the Student Council appealed to everyone to work together for Vic- tory, we became active in the Red Cross at East and helped in the waste- paper saving campaign which was launched with the slogan “Cheat the Wastepaper Basket.” Aware of the necessity of physical fitness in wartime, Virginia Tasi and Olga Mazur worked diligently to meet the requirements of the Girls’ Gym Leaders. Bob Clowacki, model air- airplane specialist, spent a great deal of time making model airplanes for the government. The entire army of Eastites was called out to assist in the first national rationing program, which began in May. As summer drew near, a new opportunity to help in the war effort was presented—that of joining the “Land Army.” A few of our more energetic members developed addi- tional muscle while helping to supply the nation with food. 10A - Distribution Center In the fall we began work under a new “commander-in-chief,” Emmet E. Smeltz. That fall, Ration Board 18- 10 came to East. Boys were becoming so scarce that for the first time East’s girls were permitted to march in the band. We were further reminded of the war by gasoline rationing, trips through the rain collecting scrap met- al, the changing of the Community Fund to the War Chest, and a new aeronautical physics course. Jack Becker began the basketball season on the tenth grade team, but was soon promoted to the first team. John DiMarco, Bill Morley, and Sam Travato began their football careers, and Carolyn Shadley represented our class in the Victory Queen Contest. Reduced in number from 209 to 1 52, we started the new year with re- newed efforts to unite for Victory. The Victory Corps was organized with five special divisions. Outstanding was the Community Service Division headed by Carolyn Shadley with Char- lotte Berman as secretary. Nearly fif- ty of us were active members of this Corps. Genevieve Neller was occupied with the presidency of the Whirlo Club, while Bob Schroeder found a new field to cona.uer in hockey and suc- ceeded in winning his letter. Bob Clowacki came to the fore as winner of the fencing meet and a member of the team that won the trophy for 1943. Looking for a place to invest sev- eral hours of valuable time, June Boe- nig, Olga Ehrhardt, and Phyllis James found it in the English set room. 1 1th Grade — Maneuvers With a vigorous attack on absence, Lloyd Z. Walton took up his new po- sition as assistant principal in the fall of 1943. Another newcomer was Lois Ogawa, who had lived in Oregon before being sent to the Tule Lake Re- location Center in California. Carolyn Shadley took part in East’s first Junior Town Meeting, which con- sidered the topic “The Atlantic Char- ter as a Basis for World Peace.” Homeroom Victory projects were launched, along with a drive to pur- chase a $75,000 pursuit plane. Again we were active in athletics. Hulda Hetzel became a gym leader, Chris Markos was one of the first members of the newly organized wrestling club, and Genevieve Neller and Peter Gialamas began their rise to fame in the Bowling Club. The 1 1 A boys showed outstanding ability in in- tramural basketball with James Kra- vitz as their captain. On the football field Dorothy Nor- ton became substitute drum major and Bob Schroeder, Bob Clowacki, and Wally Zawacki led Eastites in spirited cheers. Carl Burkons proved his worth as the “Star Gazer in the Blue and Gold by selecting 22 out of 24 17 EXODUS Jan. '45 correct winners in inter-scholastic football. Before the end of the year the Co- bra Hi-Y” boys were proudly dis- playing their club sweaters. Five of our army—Janet House, Carolyn Shad- ley, Virginia Tasi, Olga Ehrhardt, and Tony Kordalski — received the distin- guished service award—induction in- to the National Honor Society. 12B — Embarkation Furlough We assumed authority as 12B’s in February, 1944, under the leadership of our new class officers—Tony Kor- dalski, president; Bob Schroeder, vice- president; Ann Gamiere, secretary; Virginia Tasi, treasurer, and Peter Gia- lamas, sergeant-at-arms. A promising actress was discovered when Irene Morask starred in the an- nual play, Stage Door. Bob Clowacki, another genius in our midst, drew up plans for changes in the boys’ gym locker room, which were put into ef- fect a few months later. Because window washers were not available and East was acquiring a de- cidedly dusky atmosphere, Tony Kor- dalski and James Kauer, with other Lincoln Club members, shampooed the windows of the entrances and stairways one Saturday. Our activities were many and var- ied that semester. Florence Stradley completed her nurses’ aid course at Lakeside Hospital and spent her free periods in the dispensary along with Doris Wisehart, Eleanor Ingraham and Irene Krzys. James Kauer began his third semeter as George L. Bush’s top- notch assistant in the chemistry lab- oratory. One of the artists of our class, Ethel Marciniak, submitted the winning cover design for the Horizons booklet, which included stories writ- ten by Lois Ogawa and Tony Kordal- ski. Idaleen Root took second place in the Music Memory and Apprecia- tion Contest with a score of 96 per cent. Celia Homa kept the girls in- formed about fashion do’s” and don’t’s in Cals Only,” her column in the Blue and Cold. Elaine Wolf began her second semester as head bookkeeper in the school bank. The pursuit plane drive was com- pleted by the end of the year with the 12B girls in the lead and the boys a close second. Heading the clean-up campaign, Virginia Tasi put all East- ites to work with mops and brooms to clear away the cobwebs. Phyllis James found her shop principles pay- ing dividends that week. The medal of honor was awarded to Carolyn Shadley who was chosen Man- tle Orator. Carolyn’s activities were as varied as they were numerous. She was a participant each year in the Press spelling contest, placing second in the finals in her 1 OB semester. Ja- net House, outstanding in both Eng- lish and French, received the French award, and Olga Ehrhardt, German club enthusiast, received the German award. With the ever-increasing number of boys serving in the armed forces, the need became apparent for a larger Honor Roll to replace our Service Flag. Accordingly, on Memorial Day a new Honor Roll was dedicated to World Victory and Peace.” Joining the ranks of the National Honor Society were Charlotte Berman, June Boenig, Olga Mazur, Doris Wise- hart, Kathryn Giviskos, James Kauer, and Ruth Solether. 12A — Front Lines! Starting off the football season with vigor, Dorothy Norton assumed her position as East’s first girl drum ma- jor. The Student Council presented to the school a new American flag and a marching flag with East’s emblem and motto in gold. For the first time, everyone bought an Activities Ticket to make the drive 100 per cent. Bob Schroeder handled the Student Coun- cil’s finances as treasurer while Ser- geant-at-Arms Jack Becker kept order. J. J. Stillinger replaced Lloyd Z. Walton—who took the top job at Willson—as assistant principal and continued to wage war on absence. Virginia Tasi, head of the health de- partment, also played an important part in combatting absenteeism. Tony Kordalski was re-elected class president with June Boenig, vice-pres- ident; Ann Gamiere, secretary; Elaine Wolf, treasurer, and Chris Markos, sergeant-at-arms. A riotous evening of entertainment was presented under the direction of Chris Markos, chair- man of the Senior Revue script com- mittee, and Carolyn Shadley, produc- tion chairman. Jack Becker, 1943 All-Scholastic in basket ball, with a basketball letter, 18 Jan. 45 two football letters, and offers from professional baseball teams to his credit, remained unrivalled sportsman in the class. Also outstanding in sports was George Mattey, All-Scho- lastic football star from Uniontown, Pennsylvania, who was chosen captain of East’s team; Bob Glowacki, who coached the fencing team in his 12A semester, and Bob Schroeder, with let- ters for hockey and cheering. James Kravitz, “the boy with the car,” was president of the Cobra “Hi- Y” and the Combined “Hi-Y ” Charles Johnson was an active member of the Spartan “Hi-Y” and was secretary in the 1 2A. In the middle of our last semester at East one of the girls’ homerooms lost its “captain” when Ethel L. Gil- lin found it impossible to continue her work at East. Miss Frances A. Mur- phy, class adviser, headed the home- room until the end of the semester. Christmas received a joyous pre- view with carols and services before school two mornings, conducted by the Lincoln Club and the newly or- ganized Inter-racial Club. Our 209 recruits were gradually transformed into 97 veterans who turned out in force for the Senior Prom at the Wade Park Manor on Jan- uary 13. As East’s first all war-time class, we had our commencement at John Hay Auditorium. Seven of our army were on the Honor Roll for six semesters—Olga Ehrhardt, James Kau- er, Tony Kordalski, Virginia Tasi, Car- olyn Shadley, Janet House, and Ruth Solether. With our training period completed, we received our diplomas, eagerly looking forward to whatever lay ahead of us. H - Hour!

'45 TIME WAS WHEN OLGA EHRHARDT was wearing a pur- ple heart for her injuries received in gym. KATHERINE GIVISKOS could play something besides the Greek Na- tional Anthem. Mr. Bush blamed JACK AUBLE for making the paper dolls on his desk, while HULDA HETZEL was the guilty party. We were all surprised to see how tall CLAUDE HIRSCH had grown. TONY KORDALSKI proudly displayed his draft card. FRITZ NELLER and ALEX PARASKE- VA were shown Mr. Bilsey’s pet type lice. IDALEEN ROOT displayed her locker- ful of Pierre Aumont’s pictures. ETHEL MARCINIAK’S initiation into the Athenaeum was such a success. CARL BURKONS revealed his new Ishkabibble hairdo at the senior re- vue. PETE GIALAMAS wore his sharp blue jacket to the Laurean-Athenaeum formal. LAVERNE DAILEY gave a Mazie-at- the-movies monologue. OLGA MAZUR first became the of- fice errand girl. JULIA KELLEY first sang “Blues in the Night,” VIRGINIA TASI was loaded down by her mop and pail brigade. High merits were given to BOB GLO- WACKI for his fencing ability. WALLACE ZAWACKI fell asleep in Choral club. The honor of being East's Kate Smith was given to ELEANOR INGRA- HAM. DORIS WISEHART as Minnie Pearl, made her debut in red and white striped socks. RUTH SOLETHER got her new glasses. CHRIS MARKOS joined us and took us in hand. The audience was surprised to see BOB SCHROEDER as the “Voice.” We learned of CAROLYN SHADLEY’S hidden talent as a songstress at the 12B mixer. DOLORES BAXTER discovered she was sitting in Bob Hope’s seat in 109. The Ladies’ Daily Gab Session, headed by DOT BEYNON, was disbanded by Mr. Mathews. There were two boys’ homerooms. JUNE BOENIG had the first pair of blue-rimmed glasses. RUTH KOVACS announced her en- gagement and later her marriage. 20 Jan. ’45 EXODUS CLASS DIRECTORY VIRGINIA TASI GENEVIEVE NELLER ELEANOR INGRAHAM IMELDA HERRING JUNE BOENIC ANNA RUGGERI DORIS WISEHART OLGA MAZUR AMELIA FERRARI MAXINE O’HARA DORIS LILLY CAROLYN SHADLEY LOIS OGAWA ANGELA ALAQUA RUTH SOLETHER MARGARET CHRISTOPHER ALICE LINDBERG JULIA KELLEY OLGA EHRHARDT Most Likely to Succeed Athletic Bluffers Cut-Pps Good Kids In the Dog House Bookworms Wings on Their Feet Sharpies Versatile Moody Brains Shy Cute Kids Sweetness Eyes Lips Without a Care Know-It-All TONY KORDALSKI GEORGE MATTEY JAMES KRAVITZ CLAUDE HIRSCH LEWIS CURRY TONY IAMMARINO CARL BURKONS BOB GLOWACKI JACK AUBLE CHRIS MARKOS BILL TENBUSCH JAMES KAUER RICHARD SCHAEFER BOB SCHROEDER JACK BECKER PETER GIALAMAS WALLACE ZAWACKI CHARLES JOHNSON CHARLES LIAMOND 21
