We organized our 12A class with Richard Krajec, president; Norma Fasciano, vice president; Mary Pitterman, secretary; Norman Petite, treasurer; and Jim Tassie, sergeant at arms. The president appointed committees for the Year Book, the Prom, the 12A Mixer, the Financial Affairs, and a Class Historian. On the Year Book Committee were Vera Kanareff, chairman; Dolores Anglovar, Robert Keiter, Robert Lynch, Evelyn Nicholls, Albert Samperisi, and Gloria Smargiassi. Serving on the Prom Committee were Lois Merkle and Carl Viviani, co-chairmen; Rose Christopher, Emma Padolski, Walter Simpson, and James Tassie. The 12A Mixer Committee consisted of James Skowronski and Verjean Kuivenen, co-chairmen; George Antolovic, Rose Cortese, Anthony Kruszewski, Vera Sosa, and Stella Zailac. The students on the financial com- mittee were Norman Petite, chairman; Natalie Delnostro, Pat DeFrancesco, and Stella Klaich. The Class Historian was Evelyn Nicholls. Those on the Class Prophet Committee were Mary Jo McMahon, Helen MuKavetz, Frank Shima- mura, and George Skenzic. The school elected as its Student Council officers Richard Krajec, vice president, and Jean Weiss for secretary. Eastites buzzed with the excitement of choosing the football queen. Janet Spurney and Mary Pitterman were elected attendants to the queen. Philip Kovalchuk was captain of our football team. Serving with him on the squad were Patrick DeFrancesco, Walter Simpson, James Tassie, and Carl Viviani. Gene DelNero was captain of East's cross-country track team. Lois Merkle was a Community Chest speaker from East High and gave numerous speeches to different organizations in Cleveland on behalf of the Community Chest drive. Indeed, our senior year has been filled with extra-curricular activities. We can look in retrospect at rallies, activity ticket sales, and the excitement of planning our graduation at John Hay High School, our Prom at Tudor Arms Hotel, and our senior dinners given by home rooms and various clubs. There was our 12A mixer complete with music, toothpicks, balloons, and beans. We had ice cream cake roll with candies. Also there was a memorable Christmas dance which was held in the gym. This class of January, 1948, will enter the community as citizens dedi- cated to the struggle for peace. The war is over, but the fighting goes on with world-wide peace as its goal. We have studied the fumbling progress of the world toward this goal as found in our history books. We have come to put our faith and hope in the United Nations Organization for the prevention of any future world war. Our country we know, must take an active part in the sup- port of this world-wide government. If our own government is to fulfill its honor-bound duty there stands the necessity for active, wide-awake, interested, and intelligently informed electors. We have been exposed to training which was to prepare us for this important task of citizenship; now we must go forth with the confidence of youth to prove this education worth while by exercising it in the form of leadership, character, and of good citizenship. We have tried to hold up the standards of East High as a class and now we shall do it individually. EVELYN NICHOLLS
