However, we were well aware of the process we were going through -- the sudden transition from junior high to senior high school. Soon we were established in our new surroundings and began to take stock of our ’’second home”. The chlorophyll craze sweeping America had a color- ful effect on the school. A beautiful sea-green and white cafeteria took the place of the crowded lunchroom in the basement. At that time too, in 1951, ground adjacent to East was broken for construction of a new auditorium. Class members caught the true ’’esprit de corps” in the 10A as the educational machinery was thrown into re- verse during a successful Student Government Day. Everything happened while we were in our second year! A rec room rocked to the tunes from the juke box, and a public address system provided electrical contact with every room in the building. The auditorium was complet- ed and is a fine example of how education has advanced in Cleveland. In the 11A, individuals from our class began to be recognized for their achievements. First to be summoned from our class into the National Honor Society were Elsie Corcoran, Bill Ebihara, and Delores Mates. As l2B’s George Kilbane and Diane Maver took part in the revival of Honor Study Hall system, an innovation to us, by becoming members of the Central Committee . Parlez-vous francais? Janette Slanina does, and very well too. Proof of her knowledge of French came to light when she was awarded the Lafayette Medal given by the French government. Paving their way in a different field were our musical- minded classmates. Bruce Clapper and Bill Koballa were in the band and Joyce Gifford and Anita Miller were in the orchestra. Delores Mates and Gilbert George participated in both groups. Displaying fine singing voices were Bonnie Gould, Anita Miller and Lucille Jacobi on stage for the operetta production, The Fortune Teller. George Kilbane, showing proficiency in woodwork, won $100 first prize for his coffee table he had entered in the Press Industrial Contest. Class scientists, Eugene Kaine and Don Kocsis, were awarded $25 War Bonds for their projects in the First An- nual Science Fair. Eugene constructed a theremin, and Don, a five-foot telescope. The solemn National Honor Society induction had spe- cial meaning for the next five members from our class who were chosen: Bill Aurelius, Nancy Coville, Bonnie Gould, Audrey Koren and Diane Maver. Two girls of whom we are especially proud are Elsie Corcoran and Marilyn Brand. Elsie was chosen to receive the highest honor East High can bestow on a girl, the Mantle. Marilyn, with her friendliness, popularity and beauty was chosen May Queen. The school experienced two faculty changes. R. H. Nyland and Miss Grace A. Martin, assistant principals, were transferred to administrative positions at John Marshall and Jane Addams, respectively. We certainly 16 won’t forget two such fine friends and counselors who had worked with our class ever since our entrance to the school. However, we gained two new assistant principals, Miss Maurine Rosch and Louis E. Welton, who are maintaining the high standards their predecessors had established. Mr. Nyland expressed these wishes for our class: ”It is always difficult to leave the security of the friendly and familiar present and venture into strange new tomorrows, but the greatest tribute to the past is the abil- ity to face the future. The knowledge gained and the friendships made at East High have prepared you well for the task ahead. Best wishes for your success. Miss Martin sent these greetings: You will find that no one ever completely leaves East High School. Those of us who have tried find we still look for good things to be said about it. At Commencement time our congratulations and good wishes go out to its graduates as mine go out now to you, its January Class of 1955. We chose Bill Ebihara to lead us in our last semester and Bill Aurelius for vice president. Carol Gruzeski was elected for secretary, James Smith, treasurer, and Don Greif, sergeant at arms . Elsie Corcoran and Carol Gruzeski held responsible positions in the Student Council as vice president and sec- retary . Blue and Gold staff members could be seen almost any period of the day hopefully searching for news. Nancy Co- ville was chosen to be the literary co-editor, and six other classmates helped produce the bi-weekly newspaper. Elsie Corcoran, copy editor, and Mildred Chin Wing shifted grammatical errors. Bonnie Gould, Diane Maver and Pearl Walton were page editors, and Carol Gmzeski was exchange editor. The honor study hall system was really rolling along In the 12A, Lou Syroney, study hail chairman, was accept- ed into the honor study hall committee. What is a football game without the thrill of the perform- ances of the drum major and majorettes? Gilbert George, drum major, led high-steppers Carol Gmzeski, Mary Bishop, Marilyn Brand and Janice Rodono in the spirited half-time marches. Our class again produced a royal member when Carol Gruzeski was elected Football Queen attendant. Mary Ellen Boyd, Mary Ann Lesiak, Beatrice Logan, Marilyn Brand, Mildred Chin Wing, and Merrie Eve Klimas helped keep the school a healthy one with their work in the dispensary. However, they certainly weren't needed by the Conlymen , who set a school record with their perfect at- tendance of 46 days out of 53 school days! Climaxing the 12A semester was the Starlight Club Revue, an all-school dance, held in the star-spangled gymnasium. Miss Lillian Aitken, senior adviser, helped us with the project, as she had with all our problems throughout the entire senior year. As the Christmas holidays arrived, we realized just how close we were to completing the change that would make us mature adults, ready to face any challenge the busy world had to offer. Although Commencement means a parting of the ways we will never forget the friendships we have made among the faculty and among our classmates, and the pride we felt every time our school was mentioned. Good -by? Never !!!! See you at our class reunion! Tnem Us 17 t JPill mt (irstmm'itt WE, the students of the graduating class of January ‘55, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby dedicate, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking any wills heretofore made by us. We bequeath to the classes following us these items: I, Audrey Koren, leave my sore toes and bruises I ac- quired while playing soccer in gym class to future sports enthusiasts. I, Hazel Landers, leave my aching back to those who try doing the backward somersault on the parallel bars. We, Anita Miller and Pat Hytha, leave the lock on our locker to whoever knows the combination and has our lunches of October 13 . I, Judy Ritchie, will to future bookkeeping students of East High my leaky fountain pen. I, Bill Aurelius, leave a box of two dozen earplugs forG. M. Conly's next homeroom. I, Ebe Messina, leave for Norm Holliday a megaphone for third period study hall. I, Mary Ellen Boyd, leave to the new lOB’s my one day of sorrow, the day I cut classes. I, V.

I, Nick Markovic, leave two very black strips of rub- ber around the comer of East 82 and Decker to all students who get up late in the morning. I, John Metzger, will to a mad scientist, Karl Krebs, my former drawer 204 in the chemistry laboratory. I, Pearl Walton, leave my ill-fated blouse eaten by nitric acid to the next fortunate chemistry student. I, Carolyn Dearth, leave J. E. Middagh’s favorite last words, Easy gas, easy clutch, to the new drivers. I, Janette Slanina, leave my olive green cashmere sweater and my shorthand book to Ursula Marciano. I, Carol Jerson, leave my typewriter in 402 to any- one who has the patience to use it. I, Diana Angeloff, bequeath my latest hair style to the coming lOB’s of Miss Virginia Enkler’s homeroom. I, Janice Rodono, leave my majorette uniform to the thinnest girl in next year's club. I, Shirley Sowinski, leave pity and sorrow to anyone who does not yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic while J. E . Middagh is in the car. I, Yvonne Tuma, leave to Harry Blum my best wish- es, hoping that next year he will be old enough to stay out after 10 p .m . I, Adelia Grinnell, leave the gym building standing for another driver to hit. We, Lucille Jacobi and Joyce Pryatel, leave our rep- utations as the worst class cutters at East High to any lOB’s. I, Jack Carter, leave this school with a smile . 19 Two bits, four bits, Six bits, a dollar, All for East High Stand up and holler,” OUR class has a lot to holler about! Many of the boys became members of East's various sports teams. The girls got into the swing of things by their participation in after-school intramurals. Shelby started his athletic career by joining the track squad as a shot-put contender when he was a 10B. Others enlisting with him on the team were Bob Riley, Don Sper- off, George Kilbane, Bill Ebiharaand Bill Aurelius. Brightest spot in the track and football outlook is the availability of 10B Shelby (Man Mountain) Kellogg for the next three years, stated a Blue and Gold sports writer. Only member of our class to take a berth on the base- ball team was 10B pitcher, Lou Syroney. In that year, 1952, the Blue Bombers, under the leadership of Coach Earl Ocker, jf John Rebar Dash Champion competed at Columbus for the state title, losing to Cin- cinnati Central 7-1. However, the team came back with a lot of determina- tion, enough to capture the East Senate championship from Collinwood, 4-2. Next came the see-saw battle for the Cleveland Sen- ate title against powerful West High. For eleven innings our determined Bombers showed their championship form by winning 5-4. The season ended with an impressive 17-2 record. When the 1952 football season rolled around, three of our 10A boys earned places on the squad; Bob Stepanovich, end; George Kilbane, center; and Shelby Kellogg, tackle. Who could forget the Senate opener with East Tech when Bob scored the final touchdown after receiving a 25 yard pass ! The Scarabs lost 37-l3. When the Senate schedule ended, the roster showed 2 wins, 3 losses, and one tie. This was the last season during which Thomas Corbo coached the team . In his place came Paul Anderson who had a reputation for producing rugged grid squads . Another new coach for the team was Line-Coach Anthony Ventresca. During the '52-'53 track season, John Rebar, 1 IB, joined the ranks of thinclads. He became another bright spot, along with Shelby, in the track spotlight. Shelby took third place in the shot-put event at the arena by putting the shot 48 feet 10 1 2 inches. The track team, under the watchful eye of Coach Karl Bauer, placed third in the arena meet. llA’s Bill Pastis and Leland Hall joined the other members of our class already on the football team as tackles in 1953. But even with five of our boys playing under the coach- ing of Paul Anderson, we had a record of one win, four losses, and one tie. In the basketball season of '53-’54, we succeeded in placing two 12B's on the squad in the persons of Lee Hall, center; and Lou Syroney, guard. Under Coach Gene Krakowiak, the team came up with a record of 8 wins against 6 losses. 20 SPORTS Lewis Syroney Guard Track season '54 found Lee Hall joining the boys al- ready on the team. In the same year, John Rebar was named captain of the harriers. Two of the boys really made names for themselves and East High that year. Shelby was city shot-put cham- pion, and at the State finals he took third place. John came in first for both the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes in the Senate track meet. East’s team of thinclads came in sixth. The girls finally got into the sportlight in the 12B se- mester by winning a rotating plaque for volleyball. Team members were Carol Jerson, captain; Diana Angeloff, Carol Champa, Mildred Chin Wing, Diane Maver, Elsie Corcoran, Pat Hytha and Bonnie Gould. This plaque still belongs to us as we leave East High. John Rebar joined the Blue Bombers during the ’54 foot- ball season to bring our team membership to six. These lads helped to bring East a 14-12 victory over St. Joseph High School in the opener. This was the first game the boys had played against St. Joe's and it proved to be a thrilling contest with which to start off the football season. As the season progressed, we found ourselves meeting tougher and more experienced opponents in the forms of Latin, Collinwood, and John Adams. Our last contest was one of the hardest battles, with East pitting their strength against Benedictine, which we lost 48-0. The Senate season ended with 2 wins and 4 losses. We, the class as a whole, are very proud of the boys and girls we have had participating in sports. They proud- ly expressed the entire class’s opinion on how we felt when it came to winning, or even losing, games against some tough opponents. 'Old East High forever, May we always be Faithful, proud, and loyal, In our love for thee.” 21 Shelby Kellogg Tackle 22 rV ■ .'. vr -I '■: • ; '1 J.-C ..� ,' , . „ .. e-- rr.
