4 JOHN HAY HIGH SCHOOL Cleveland, Ohio 1977-1978 ♦ YEARBOOK This is an unusual introduction for a yearbook but then again it was an unusual school year. The 1977-1978 school year is certainly one to be remembered . . . but for what? The Chinese say that we passed from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Horse while others say that this is still the Age of Aquarius. One thing that remains certain, however, is that we here at John Hay High School, in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, found ourselves in the Year of the Question Mark. This was a year that held no answers for people. It only posed questions. Why did everything seem to take us by surprise? Why did the Cleveland Public School system find itself in the throes of a painful desegregation lawsuit? Why were we suddenly teetering on the brink of bankruptcy? Why were the teachers asked to week for deferred pay? Why did so many cases of blackboard flu develop that a city-wide epidemic seemed apparent? Why were schools virtually shut down for days? Why were many teachers cut from their jobs in mid-year? And what do Seniors do when they find their school system falling apart at the seams only a few short months before graduation? Even the weather took us by surprise. After many heavy snowstorms we awakened one windy morning in January to the worst blinard ever to batter the state of Ohio. Why didn't anyone even warn us? It seemed an appropriate ending to the first semester of a school year that seemed to barely get off the ground. As this book went to print it was only the beginning of the second semester. All wc could do was predict the outcome of the remaining school year. Things would probably return to some degree of normalcy if the schools weren't forced to close due to a lack of funds, but would things ever be the same? People can only stand uncertainty for so long. We would probably bite the bullet and tighten our belts and try to pick up the pieces and move on to better times or would we find that this period of chaos was only just the beginning? The students and faculty of John Hay, for the most part, tried to keep tilings running as calmly as possible during some difficult times. Hopefully the next fourteen pages vail reflect, in some way, the various moods and feelings that prevailed here at John Hay High School, in Cleveland, Ohio during the 1977-1978 school year; a year of uncertainty and change. I often wonder if the pieces of my life will always fall the bits of colored glass in a kaleidoscope? Winter can be a strange geography text. I’ve always wanted to visit the frozen wastelands of the world. This year I’ve seen the North Pole and Siberia without leaving home. 5 When I am on my own, I hope I have learned enough about myself to help me understand others. a 9 Spontaneous me, nature, the loving day, the mounting sun, the friend I am happy with. - Walt Whitman I enjoy being me! Time changes all things and I hope that I will always like the person who I have m.§ • . n ■ P'r' ■ ||| ■ ■ w Our youthful thoughts and dreams are often in a state of suspended animation, much like icicles after a winter storm. It will be exciting to see what they may become when they thaw, awaken, and grow in the warmth of maturity. 12 Some ladders are long short broken strong dangerous sturdy safe . . . Upon which will I decide to climb? 13 Education opens many doors and there are so many choices available to me. Years from now I will look back and wonder about my decisions and where they’ve lead me. I only hope that I will be aware of all my options. 14 i thank You Cod for most this amazing day: for the leaping greely spirits of trees and 3 blue true dream of sky; and for every thing which is natural which is infinite which is yes (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth day of life and love and wings: and of the gay great happening inimitably earth) how should tasting and touching hearing seeing breathing any - lifted from the no of all nothing - human merely being doubt unimaginable You7 (now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened) e.e.

The Seniors amused themselves and others by parading around the school in a variety of strange outfits designed to highlight special days. Pictured here for your viewing pleasure are a few baby dolls, several rogues from the Wild West, and some very tacky people. A Touch of Class does not refer to a hit movie but to the members of Mrs. Sloger's advanced sewing classes. Students not only mastered the fine and practical art of tailoring but they also developed a keen business sense as they offered a special sewing service to the school. Students replaced buttons, sewed hems, fixed zippers, and repaired tears in clothing for a small fee. HIGHLIGHTS John Hay's Computer facilities have been in operation for five years now, funded by the State of Ohio. Through a terminal located in Room 240 we are able to communicate directly with the Board's IBM 370 145. Using the BASIC language, students in Algebra II and Advanced Math can run their own programs to solve mathematics problems. For the last two years we have also offered a Computer Programming course for students seriously interested in the computer field. We arc one of only three schools in the city with these computer possibilities. The $500.00 winners in last year's Martha Holden Jennings Essay Contest are Barbara Myers, Andrea Turner, Laurie Alexander, Kevin Golden, Toni Hardy, Cheryl Rivers, Michelle Kelley, Fred Walker, Darlene Holt, and Mae Sandford. These students will apply their winnings to the college of their choice and are also cligablc to enter this year's contest. Once again John Hay was selected to participate in the Academic Challenge television program. Pictured here are our representatives Kevin Golden, Patricia Binns, and Michael Shumpert. Karen Sanders is the alternate. Mr. McGraw is the team's coach. HIGHLIGHTS HIGHLIGHTS salutes Anthony Hancock. Among Hancock's many awards we find that he was named All-Northeastern Ohio and All-Scholastic halfback and was the Co-Most Valuable Player of the East Senate. He gained 1,083 yards on 154 carries, scored ten touchdowns, passed for five, and punted for a 37.5 average. Tony was named as one of thirteen area football players as Player of the Year by the Cleveland Touchdown Club. He is also a state-ranked hurdler in track. He was featured as one of John Hay's Hornet-of-the-Week winners and was voted ' 'Best All Around'' by his senior class. We on the YEARBOOK staff arc-sure that there will be many more awards for Anthony Hancock and we probably missed a few here. At any rate, congratulations on all of your accomplishments on the athletic field, in your academic subjects, and in your contribution to John Hay. We did it again! ! ! WE HORNETS HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF! ! ! For the second year in a row John Hay was selected by the CLEVELAND PRTSS for their Sportsmanship Award. We won the trophy, not for winning teams, but for winning fans. The sportsmanship on the part of the John Hay fans was so outstanding as to cause city-wide recognition two years in a row. We can all take a bow for this achievement and let's try for three, Hornets. Oh, to be Queen for a day! One of the highlights of our many team sports is the opportunity for young ladies to vie for the title of Queen for that particular sport. Unfortunately, because of an early printing deadline, we were unable to photograph all the lovely winners for the entire school year but we did catch this shot at the Football Homecoming game when we beat Collinwood. Here is Queen Zaharah and some of her court. 7S ART HIGHLIGHTS Applause ! Applause ! We can certainly be proud of our art department. Once again our John Hay artists came home from the Regional Scholastic Art Competition, not only with all the top honors but 32 of the 44 John Hay entries won awards! Awards arc divided into three categories. First prize is called Key New York. Second prize is called Cold Key. Third prize is called Place. Four seniors were among the top winners. They are: Andrew King with four Key New Yorks, two Gold Keys, and two Places; Edward Rozicr with two Key New Yorks, two Cold Keys, and eight Places; Bryan Thomas with one Cold Key; and Jose Gonzales with one Place. Other John Hay winners were: Dwayne Johnson with two Key New Yorks and three Cold Keys; Charles Palmer with one Gold Key and two Places; and Cecil Stultz with one Place. Not only did our art students overwhelm the judges with their talent but out of a possible five top awards, Andrew King, Edward Rozier, and Dwayne Johnson received Hallmark nominations of First, Third, and Fifth place respectively, for their work. We are verv proud of these fine artists and hope that they will go on to receive National recognition in the competition in New York. A small sampling of their many talents are pictured for you here on these two pages. 76 UK PLAIN DKAIjKR legislature bails out schools he trllinc Uifc a min A'uomcA Hf fry • gtl Clmtond out • ogentf dor ng jctpo't afudv WRIGHT’S FATHER ARRESTED i Tlu ( IcM'land Press JE.-l 62 city schools close, lack teachers, students ( IrM'laiul l,n s ° SCHOOL CLOSINGS CLIMB TO FOURTEEN | | Report Korco sought White House spy US tablets rote disputed SVj«j9iih mart turns iownword Co d 0 4% yrf'.ioo. rodt « • r m Sldrf • jfc f.r Guard rides city to rescue V l Dl 1N Hi worst Blizzard century was W.mf • ««• •• ’•A fAtMli • « «W4 le m off! iip« iti tnu« irtia«m '• «W'wjr d (fttlff KtlU ilMmi and II—l.t i t f« iKrtautK V-tlh N« uth TIIK PLAIN HKALKK do« I tut It rru Don on Till; PLAIN DEALER Big businesses pledge early taxes for schools c« r r«4ar Cro n returns home at | .t rrotfrfs rain Uathimrton Hays coming back rr a « • — M d««« rt NEWS HIGHLIGHTS 78 zs NEWS HIGHLIGHTS 79 PROGRESS Our cafeteria has substituted china with styrofoam for serving our mystery meat specials. Food is now steamed in plastic bags and butter has turned to mar-gerine. Cheap plastic utensils have replaced silverware. They had to raise prices considerably to cover the cost of these improvements. Because the Eighth Wonder of the Modem World is housed in the back of John Hay's school yard many tourists from that neighboring school house turn out in droves every day to watch the spectacle of co-ed gym classes. The fact that doors were not included on the inside of the new gym, probably an oversight or a cost saving measure, it's very easy for the tourists to wander all over the gym floor at all hours of the day, thus preventing classes from functioning smoothly. We must be the only school with a pool that has never been used. But at least we can say we have a pool. The faculty has been busy this year trying to keep up spirits. Many people tried to break their spirits by withholding pay checks but that did not get them down. Starvation, depression, and confusion are often the mothers of invention and creative thinking. Mrs. Margies surprised us all by wearing a dress. When someone said Hey, you've got legs! she stated that they weren't hers. She said that she had borrowed them for the occassion. Mr. Sanda was one of the winners of the weekly contest. Hornet of the Week. As you can see by his picture it was a well deserved award. Several teachers have banded together to form the Social Studies Teachers Club. This wonderful organization encourages its members to enjoy extensive traveling. All members have been trained in the Robert Or School of Thematic Planning and are regular contributors to NATIONAL CEOCRAPHIC MAGAZINE. As of this printing the winners of the Couple of the Year award have not been announced. The semi-finalists, however, are pictured for you here.

The Student Council sponsors a number of social activities and events as well. A new activity that the Student Council initiated this year was the Social Center. The Social Center is in the old gym and is a place where students can relax during their lunch breaks. Carnes and student guidance are provided at the center. Special events that the Student Council sponsored included the football and basketball Homecomings and occassional pep rallies. The lack of school spirit and pride were some of the major concerns of the group as they tried to bolster morale with posters and pride assemblies. This year the Student Council became a charter member of the National Student Council Association. Miss Juanita Byrant is the group's sponsor.

As you remember this is the first time John Hay was represented at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Even though every time we came to a camera they were doing commercials we were still the hit of the parade with our now famous ' 'Walking J H''. (The ' 'Walking J H'' is difficult to do because it is done in Arabic.) As for New Year's Day we arc still sifting through invitations for halftime shows from the Rose, Orange, and Tangerine Bowls. Plans for next year's band classes include a 10 day trip to Vienna. 86 CHORUS CHORUS--FIRST ROW--Antionette Hayward, Maria Brown, Sylvia Fisher, Teresa Roberson, Angela Isom, Eleanor Griffin, Cassandra Davis, Gloria Makeupson-- SECOND ROW--Teresa Ellis, Antoinette Hudson, Gloria Williams, Vivian Bradford.

The program presented by the Chorus draws from a varied repertoire which includes classical, traditional, sacred, folk, and popular music. All compositions are intended to be entertaining and are performed with musical excellence. 88 LEDGER The John May LEDGER is a student periodical newspaper that reports newsworthy events and features of interest. The LEDGER is produced by the Journalism II class and articles arc written by some of the staff members as well as members of the Journalism I class. The paper is printed by Hartco Printing Company in West Jefferson, Ohio. Fund raising projects such as bake sales and stationery sales enable the staff to publish the LEDGER monthly. We had a subscription drive early in the year and Mr. Klesh's senior homeroom won the contest with 100 participation. Congratulations ! LEDGER articles vary from personal interviews with famous people like Congressman Louis Stokes, surveys of interest, (Who was John May, anyway?) accounts of happenings in and around the school, and highlights of sporting events and outstanding students. If you want hard news ... all the news that's fit to print (and then some?) . . . Read it in the John Hay LEDGER.

LANGUAGE CLUBS The German Club should be out of quarantine by the time this book goes to press. The SRI LANKA Liberation Army hijacked the Cleveland Board of Education's DC-3 and flew it to Jaffna where the group was exposed to leprosy and hence the quarantine. While in quarantine Mr. Nechvatal dazzled the group with his ability to conjugate past participle verbs. After their release from quarantine the club plans to continue with the remainder of their schedule which calls for stops in Bonn and East Germany where the students will spend several days with a refugee of their choice. The highlight of the trip will be Mr. Nechvatal's re-enactment of John F. Kennedy's I am a Berliner speech. ( 1 am a Borlincr translates literally into German to I am a jelly doughnut.) To raise money for the French Club's five city tour of France, Miss Stroempl sold crepes outside of room 109 for a month. The club visited Bordeaux, Marseille, Grenoble, Chateau-Briand, and La-Marseilaise. Everyone involved is reported to have had a good time despite the fact that Air France lost the club's luggage, passports, American Express cheques, and three students in Orly International Airport. Miss Stroempl was unperturbed saying, 1 can get the cheques replaced.'' When asked to describe the trip Miss Stroempl replied, au nature 1 a poils, ruppe la stampe. Senor Morlan had to cancel the Spanish Club's Good Will tour to Guadalajara, Mexico, after Cleveland Hopkins Airport was closed due to blowing and drifting snow. They then decided that instead of Mexico they would go to the TACO BELL on West 17 Street. Senor Morlan claims that they serve better enchiladas there than they do in Mexico. Next year the group plans to journey to Central and South America, spend two weeks in Cali. Columbia for supplies before floating down the Amazon on a raft. Their last stop will be Peru . . . weather permitting. 91 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY National Honor Society--BACK-- Darlene Holt, Michelle Kelley, Bruce Lavender, Andrea Turner, Kevin Golden, John Jones, Mae Sandford--SEATED--Gerry Foster, Tanya Morrow, April Johnson, Leathea Young - - FRONT- -Pamelia Walker. The National Honor Society is an organization which recognizes students who have been outstanding in Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character, and Citizenship. We participate in a helping capacity in school activities. At open house we served as guides. In the near future we plan to have many fund raising activities. Our goal, with the help of our sponsor Mr. Sanda and our friends, is to furnish John Hay's auditorium with a new podium. Some of the hard working students of the National Honor Society would like to tell a little about their own personal goals. My name is Mae Sandford. Currently I am a member of the National Honor Society and I also participate at our local church. In the future I plan to attend Oral Roberts University. 1 would like to earn my Bachelors or Masters in Science in the field of Psychology or Chemistry . Geraldine Foster--My goal in life is to become an executive secretary. During my three years at John Hay 1 have been getting prepared for a successful career in the Business field. With the encouragement of Barbara Saulsberry, Mary Carter, and the C.O.E. program 1 was able to get a job as a clerical trainee at Diamond Shamrock where 1 wall remain after graduation. 92 I, Tanya Morrow, am the Treasurer of the National Honor Society. One of my future goals is to go to a four year Nursing School and graduate as a Registered Nurse. At John Hay, I, April Johnson, have accomplished all the required subjects which 1 need for college. My goals are to graduate from Akron University with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and go on to work with infants in a small hospital . Michelle Kelly- - Being a member of the National Honor Society- has been an honor. I would like to wish future success to my fellow members and also to the class of 1978. Go out onto the world and show it w-ho's great! NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY John Jones--You ask me what 1 have done for John Hay? ! Well let me tell you, 1 have given this school so much money through hake sales and candy bars that 1 could have bought the building. I was a student council member. I was campaign manager for Kevin Golden who is now President of Student Council. 1 have attended various football, basketball and track events and have experienced thrill of victory and the agony of defeat (Mostly the agony of defeat). I sat on the bench for Varsity Baseball. 1 was head P.A. announcer along with being in the Drama Club. Also I have attended John Hay for at least three years. Last but not least, my future plans are to attend either Carnegie-Mellon or West Point. Hi, my name is Leatha Young, I have been in the National Honor Society for two years. I've enjoyed every minute of it. Being in the National Honor Society lets my classmates and teachers and family know that 1 work and study hard. After graduation I will be attending the University of Akron to become a Lawyer. I leave here at John Hay High School my Leadership, Citizenship, Character, and strong ambitious powers for my sisters to adopt. Pamclia Walker--When 1 first came to John Hay in the 10th grade, I set a goal. And that goal was for me to graduate to a higher step in life. The three years I have been here in John Hay, 1 have accomplished that goal. Without the help of some of John Hay's faculty, 1 would have never made it this far. Ny name is Kevin Golden and I'm a member of the National Honor Society. As well as that, I am President of Student Council. 1 was also chosen for the Alpha Phi Alpha Outstanding high school student. My goals in life are ultimately to serve God and man through the field of Social Work. Barbara Myers--I am happy to say that 1 possess one of the most important qualities that a student could have. That is ambition. This ambition has enabled me to achieve certain goals. I have had many honors bestowed upon me including a $500 Martha Holden Jennings Scholarship and membership in the National Honor Society. 1 represented John Hay at the 1978 Spelling Bee Contest at the Convention Center. As for future plans, I hope to become a nurse so that 1 may help others. Andrea Turner--! am President of the National Honor Society. I have participated in Intramural sports. I was on the Volleyball team. I'm on the yearbook staff. In September I would like to attend either Amherst College or Case Western Reserve University and major in Pre-Mcdicinc. Once 1 have finished with all my necessary studies I would like to specialize in Neuro-Surgery or Cardiology.

What has caused the destruction of so many planes and ships that have dared to enter those forbidding waters? What is the mysterious green light that survivors recall seeing before tragedy struck? Nobody really knows, as a group of passengers have embarked on a holiday a-board a ship cruising through the Devil's Triangle. That vacation soon turns into tragedy as, one by one, the passengers begin to disappear. '' CHEERLEADERS Have you ever watched a cheerleader? For those of us who have trouble just walking, it's ama?ing to watch these agile young ladies perform fantastic feats of grace at the sidelines of sporting events. They capture your attention and even make you wince as they effortlessly perform forward rolls, splits, front and back walk-overs, and no-hand aerials to name a few of their accomplishments. This very dedicated group of young ladies practices two hours daily and cheer us on at every game. Our hats are off to them and their dedication to cheering the Hornets on to victory.

They will leave Sunday February' 19 and return on February 25. A group of about ten students is expected to go on the trip. Because of an early printing deadline we can only wish them a sale trip because by the time they leave we will have gone to press. John Hay's organizers of the trip are Anne Frihauf and Marvin Barber, both social studies teachers at Hay and co-sponsors of the club. Mr. Barber will chaperone and join in on the learning experience. The Washington-bound group sponsored a raffle to raise money to help cover the cost of the $342.00 trip. Highlights of the trip should include seminars and workshops along with a tour of our nation's capitol and some entertainment. Students hope that they will be able to meet our Ohio legislators. All in all it should prove to be a very busy and educational week. The members of the Social Studies Club pictured are Cynthia Martin, Lcttie Robinson, Karen Saunders, Debbie Moore, Augustine Nicklson, and Morris Robinson.

RADIO STATION 104 TRACK AND CROSS COUNTRY The John Hay 1977-1978 Track and Cross Country teams are hot on the tracks. The Hornets have put the sting on people for the past few years. Each year the Track team has improved at the big meet. The 1978 team will make history for John Hay. Last year's Track team went on many trips around the state and proved to be very strong contenders. The 1977 Track team was (Indoor) John Marshall Relay champs and runner-up East Sennate champions. The team was champions of the (Outdoor) Miami Relays, won fourth place at the Belairc Relays, tenth place at the West Tech Relays, 17th out of 237 schools at Mansfield, and third in the City Senate meet. Last but not least we came in 18th in the State meet in which Revon Harris placed sixth in tire shot-put and Anthony Hancock placed fourth and sixth in the high and low hurdles. Randy Farley, the coach, has turned out one of the most respected teams both at John Hay and throughout the city for the past few years. The team has sold popcorn and candy in order to raise money for the uniforms and transportation. The 1977 Cross Country team had a 2-2 record and the team captains were Edward Rozicr and James Jones. Special awards went to Ed as Most Dedicated Runner and James as Most Valuable Runner. The 1978 team captains are Anthony Hancock, Kevin Mondel, and Edward Rozier, all seniors.

Football inspires determination, responsibility, and the excitement of competitiveness. The team worked hard and gained from the experience. These players will have the opportunity to take their knowledge and apply it to the Varsity Football team next year. The Most Valuable Player awards were earned by Bryant Harvey, Offensive, and Kerman Hall, Defensive. The John Hay coaches would like to thank the students, parents, and faculty for their support.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The John Hay Varsity Basketball team did not have a winning year but it was a very productive one. The Homets had a small but dedicated team and their basic problem, besides ineligabi-lity, was inexperience, with only one returning letterman. Although this was a rebuilding year for the Hornets, the team worked hard and had good morale for the entire season. Anthony Jones and Chris Mitchell gave the greatest contribution to the Hornet's cause this season. Chris Mitchell was named as a member of the All-East senate basketball team. This is the first time in at least three years that John Hay has had a player selected fdr this honor. Chris averaged 20 points a game until he dislocated his shoulder at the East Tech game.

The 1977 John Hay Volleyball team was strong and determined. The team proved to be competitive. John Hay competes in the A League for Cleveland Public Schools, and the team's final standing was fifth in the league. The majority of the team consisted of seniors which gave us strength as we began the year. The team has improved and wall be even stronger next year. 126 VOLLEYBALL 127 GIRL’S BASKETBALL GIRL'S BASKETBALL 1977-1978--KNEELING--James Williams, Shelia Roberts, Denise Saulsberry, Yvonne Walker.

They are a young, inexperienced team but are developing quickly. Renita Story is the only senior on the team so the remaining players will return next year with a lot of maturity to help them win. Coach Sullivan says ' 'The team is young and they are still learning fundamentals.'' While watching a girl's basketball game you see a lot of determination and discipline. With a little more game experience our Hornets will be tough to beat.

Twice a week both the English teacher and various shop teachers get together and combine their efforts in a related class. Besides studying reading and comprehension, shop vocabulary, applications, state, local, and federal forms arc studied and filled out. Interview techniques arc stressed and the culmination of this unit is a mock interview that is videotaped and then replayed for the student with constructive criticism. A basic English course of study is stressed with strong emphasis on reading skills. In the Annex, the Machine Shop course has been established to moti- j vatc the students to learn a trade and a skill in a machine shop. Students learn the basic machine operations as well as other required skills for their trade. These skills include reading measuring tools, grinding tool bits, drawing sketches, operational sheets, repairing broken parts, and in general, learning to function successfully in an industrial environment. All students must learn to operate all machines and complete all assignments before receiving a vocational certificate from the State of Ohio and the Cleveland Board of Education of Vocational Training.

One of my greatest wishes was that there were more hours in a day when deadline time rolled around. ! hope you enjoy this year's YEARBOOK. A lot of time, effort, laughter, tears, panic, and creativity went into the planning and production of this book. Yearbooks cost a small fortune to publish so, as usual, we sold thousands of candy bars. You bought them and ate them and probably gained a few pounds. In general, we threw ourselves at your mercy, begging for spare change. Thank you for your generosity. As of this final deadline I don't know if we broke even bxit that lias been my goal along with helping to publish a quality book. Thanks to each and every person who helped me try to keep my wits about me. Special thanks go to my editor, Debby Moore, my photographer, Dick Wise, and my very patient husband, Kim. 1 suppose 1 earned the nickname of John Hay's Action Cam . . . that camera certainly became a part of me this year. 1 still hear Take my picture! Take my picture! even in my sleep. The production of the 1977 -1978 YEARBOOK began early last summer and continued throughout the school year, weekends and holidays included. Probably as you read this letter, we're still working on some aspect of the book. Seniors, you have been a good class and we wanted you to have a book that would not only provide you with pleasure but would also reflect, with as much accuracy as possible, the varied events that played important roles in your Senior year at John Hay. Good luck to the Class of 1978 and thanks again for everyone's help. 1978 YEARBOOK CREDITS ADVISOR: Carol Segebarth EDITOR: Deborah Moore ASSISTANT EDITOR: Andrea Turner COPY: Maridah Ahmad, Cassandra Baker, Lynda Bell, Deborah Moore, Tanya Morrow, Barbara Myers, Loren Olson, Denise Wells, Debra Woods, William Woods.
