Class History by William Aurelius and Bonnie Gould us Them A CHANGE is needed, stated the Blue and Gold in an editorial welcoming us as lOB's to East High School. 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
