Senior History CLASS OF JUNE, 1945 Thirty-four started out, and now the class of June, '43, has 127 members. Quite a jump! But here's how it all happened. We started out with these thirty-three charter members in the Garfield Heights Elementary School: Emma Gaeto, Elroy Smith, Bill Stone, Carol Urban, Florence Anossee, Dan Samerdyke, Bob Graber, Bob Kucera, Richard Brich, Isom Atalia, Jon Borowicz, Mildred Duckworth, Jean Fleming, Rollyn Manke Jack Mannu, Calvin Peterson, Lillian Pugely, Nuncio Scebbi, Charles Turner, Madeline Vocila, Carol Hruby, Ronald Brown, James Mika, Jean Kocar, Carolyn Knowles, Dolores Lau, Carole Porter, Shirley Pike, Robert Ochocki, Mildred Januska, Bernadine Lawicki, Jacqueline Kessler, and Virginia Ratica. In the second grade we acquired AliceJagus from Harvard School, and by now we were starting to pester our teachers. Many prophesied the title we later got of Teacher Scourgersf' Judy Cundra popped in during the third year of our life from Warren. Phyllis Baker from St. Peter and Paul, Helen Ryan from West Denison, and Leona Zdanowicz from St. Mary's, joined our select group in the fourth grade. In the fifth along came Ida May Steiner from Holy Name, Ralph Styblo from Woodland Hills, and Lois Kohler from Benjamin Franklin. By this time we were going strong, and the Elementary Staff was glad that we had but one more year over there. But before we left the little red building, Jane Zaremba skipped in from Moses Cleveland. In the first year in the High School Building we acquired many new morons. From Moses Cleveland came John Povejsil and Lucy Petrecco. Park Knoll sent us the Iapello Sisters, Bess and Josephine, as well as Lenore Stobbe, Marcia Stanley came from Holy Name, George Chaloupka from Barkwill, Kinsman sent Ruby Denlinger with a sigh of relief, while George Millburn got here from Miles. Grant gave us Ruth Olson CNO not U. S. Grantb, Miles Park got rid of Ralph Matt. Finally, Lottie Kaminski got here from Maple Leaf. Now our Class had climbed to fifty-four. No one bothered to get here during the eighth grade, but in the ninth the rains came. St. Peter and Paul, perennial helpmates, gave us Joe Rutkowski, Dan Volek, Eleanor Wagaski, Richard Gruszka, Virginia Baranski, Harriet Stankiewicz, Frank Novy,John Presby, Sabine Gorzelancyk, Richard Matejka, Ed Kuzma, Ralph Cenny, Ralph Crosby, Peter Dodosh, Ed Kosey, Ed Skura, Florence Zajkowski, and Frank Vitoj. Roosevelt also kicked a few our way: Fred Woody, Vern Nazarek, Laura Diehl, Frank Traviglia, Gabriel Szabo, Bob Lockhart, Robert Vicha, Wallie Kalski, Bob Riley, and Marvin Dress. Maple Leaf gave us Jean Angarano, John Opala, Louis Parasiliti, Frances Augustine, Nathalie Owczarek, Eleanor Svoboda, Tony Malone, Eileen McKinley, and Jean Rossi. From St. John's came Viola Bode, Shirley Godenswager, Irene Bohning, and Dorothy Bode. St. Therese sent its representatives .Janice Cunningham, Mary Hart, Pat Paul, Al Slowick, and Rosemary Caldwell. Laurence Boyer came from Holy Name,Jack Lewis from A. B. Hart, Casimer Kin walked in from St. Stanislaus, Dolores Brozowski came from Immaculate I-Ieart, and Jean Flanigan got here from Audubon. Gerry Kayder came all the way from Ashland just to go to Garfield. In the tenth grade our class had its reputation firmly established, all the citizens swelled our treasury with their tribute. Strong additions and reinforcements were in the form of Dorothy Muir, from Darlington, Pa.,James Kubat rushed from Nathan Hale, Tommy McGowan arrived from Latin, Mary Ellen Gulick came from Ursuline, while Lucille Przbylski transferred from A. B. Hart. In the eleventh, all the faculty were wheezing but thought they would last two more years. But George Vajda from John Adams, Rose Fabio fromJohn Hay, and Ray Kalinowski and Ester Haas from South almost changed their minds for them. Four more came in the twelfth and final year to bring it up to 119 in our class. They were Margaret Marks from Jane Addams, Glen Willen from Lakewood, Nola Wrentmore from Shaw, and Wilbur Mantkey arrived from John Adams. This is our history, except for all the bad parts which we left out. But there wasn't too much of that, or- why did all those teachers quit and go into nice, quiet factories! 7

Four lettermen started the year and only two llinished. Garfield's Gridders held undisputed second place in the Eastern Conference, and a victory over Berea in the last game of the year would have given the boys the best record of any team ever coached by Mr. Wilson. Seniors who played their last for Garfield Were: Frank Titus, John Povejsil, Russ Jarmusch, Gabriel Szabo, Dick Hart, and Bob Graber.
