THE RIGHT PREVAIL Neil D. Mathews Members of the Class of January. 1943: Perhaps our greatest satisfaction comes from a feeling that we are wanted and needed. You are leaving high school at a time when your talents are in great demand. The armed forces, industry, commerce, agriculture. and the professions, all are bidding for your services. Some of you will have little choice in the work which you will be called upon to do during the war: others of you will be able to make your own decisions. In either case, we shall expect you. insofar as the decisions lie with you. to select the job which you can do best and do that job with a realization that the future of America depends on you. We shall expect you to do everything in your power to maintain a strong healthy body, an alert mind, and a growing faith in the democracy of which you are a part. My good wishes go with each of you. Sincerely. Neil D. Mathews We the members of the graduating class wish to dedicate this Yearbook to Mr. Howard Gaiser. He was more than a teacher. For three and one-half years he helped to guide us and to shape our principles. To those of us who knew him personally he was an all around swell fellow who was always willing to take a joke, but who still commanded the respect of all. To those of us who knew him by sight only, he was the good looking teacher with the smiling features. Now even after he has left our school, his memory and good work still linger in the halls and classrooms. Mr. Gaiser is now in the Army of the United States of America, helping to fight for the principles which he taught us to live by. We want to thank you. Mr. Gaiser. for helping us to get started on the right foot in this world of grief and sorrow. We want to thank you for fighting for us now. And perhaps most of all, we want to thank you for being a pal. The best of luck to you. Mr. Gaiser. ■7 THE SENIOR CLASS DOROTHY JEANE ACEl “Choice words and measured phrase, Above the reach of ordinary ones. Junior Friendship Club. Jr. Journal. Art Club.

This historic congregation occurred in February, 1939, when we first pledged ourselves to be honest and loyal students of Rhodes. General confusion followed until all were settled in their homerooms —except in Mr. Hoffman's, which was definitely unsettled. It seems his was doomed to be plagued by little m;n called Yahoos. the most notorious of which was Robert Squirrel Karohl. Don Soula was our first classmate to be distinguished as a scholar by oeing placed on the honor roll. One is placed on the honor roll when one has attained the grade of A in all of one's subjects. In our sophomore year, Don Bollam and Emil Pawuk tagged spots on the varsity five. ( Tye Tyminski decided not to accept a varsity position until the following season.) The girls were not to be outdone by the boys, however, for it was in this semester that Norma Michael was photographed and interviewed for the Rhodes Review.” In the winter of '40 and '41 Rhodes entered its first hockey team. Included in the lineup were Chuck Gossie and Karl Hemerlein. Came February. 1941. we rose to the elegance of the junior division. The class immediately organized and Emil Pawuk became our first president. The highlight of the term was the picnic held at Snow Road Metropolitan Park. Dick Sovish began pounding the ivories in earnest and became Rhodes unofficial champion Boogie Woogie beater. He has played for the local hepcats. the German Club, the National Honor Society, and others. Although we were but mere 1 1 A's. we put over one of the most successful dances ever held at Rhodes. This became a high spot in the social cycle of our junior year. An unofficial communique has rumored that this rhythmate is the probable stimulus that encouraged so many of our men to dance at the afternoon informal. November 6. 1942. Dave Gifford and Stan janitzki contributed greatly to the upset handed West Tech in 1941. marking the downfall of the once invincible carpenters. Harry Schulke received the highest honor ever won by a Rhodes artist when he was awarded second prize in the city-wide Charity Football poster contest. ( Tye accepted position as varsity basketballer.) Our junior year terminated; we gained further prestige as we passed into our most memorable year at Rhodes. Casimer Pavlak became Rhodes' wrestler in the 135 pound division. Cazzy ended up a very successful season by being placed second in the city and fourth in the state. ■20- A murder mystery entitled Through the Night was the 1942 spring play. Cast in leading roles were Ethel Cedeon. Jeane Agel, and Henry Kurd-ziel. Stage management was capably handled by Betty Rae Stitt. Emil Pawuk, Dick Sovish, Betty Haller, and Don Soula were chosen class officers in our senior year. Social activities included a picnic, afternoon and evening informals. and an unforgettable prom with evening gowns and tuxedos. Dave Gifford—center, Emil Pawuk—end. and Will Oros—tackle, helped give Rhodes our most successful football season. Rain or shine, they were spurred on by drum-majorette Betty Haller performing the job of leading the band. A word of caution to any future lab assistants who venture to generate more vile gases or to perpetrate more brown ceiling spots than did Howard Bleil and Andy Weiman of the foaming-mouth fame. They were more than assistants. Don Soula captained the cross-country team to a second place in the city-wide conference. Henry Kurdziel became editor of the Rhodes Review. Linda Hummel was elected the 1942 Football Queen. And so it finally came—as we all hoped and feared it would—Class Day and Commencement; thoughts of college, vocation, and service in the United States Armed Forces. The Graduation of 124 students from Rhodes High School. LAST WILL AMD TESTAMENT We. the graduating class of January. 1943, of James Ford Rhodes High School, supposed to be fully inoculated with the world's greatest wisdom as prescribed by the honorable Board of Education and both meticulously and carefully dispensed in days, good and evil, by the able faculty of the aforementioned secondary school, and by the same able faculty we are being dismissed with sound mind—and all that sort of stuff—do hereby make public, affirm, announce, publish, depose and declare our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Section I—Appreciation Article I We thank the office and faculty in appreciation of their guidance and counsel along the path of education, for life's long way. Article II We also thank you. our beloved homeroom teachers. Miss Thomson, Mrs. Beerman. and Mr. Tanko, respectively, for your endurance and patience as our homeroom teachers. Article III To Mr. Hoffman, our one man comedian, we all leave behind our tears of sorrow, for with deep regret we must part with his wit. Section II—Sports Article I Dave Gifford leaves behind to any up-and-coming Rhodian the use of his blue and white football suit in remembrance of his ability and speed. Don Soula leaves his track shoes and his wings land we don't mean angel wings) to the next track flash. Don Bollam, Emil Pawuk. and William Tyminski, basketball whizzes, will their splendid record to any other three fellows capable of assuming them. Section III Article I Ann Medzenyak leaves behind her dancing slippers for any other lower classman to step into and take over. Article II Leader of the drum majorettes. Betty Haller leaves behind her twirling baton to Vera Alberts, to do as well as Betty has done in her two years of drum majoring. Article III Richard Petti leaves his drape shape, his grip hips, jut reat pleats, cleaver sleeves to any one that has a priority rating. Article IV To all future upcoming youngsters of radio and stage. Ethel Gedeon, and Henry Kurdziel impart grievously their dramatic ability. Article V Dick Sovish leaves his boogie woogie cafeteria piano to any promising student who can do justice by beating the jive. Article VI Muriel Cox leaves pencils, textbooks, and gray matter to any bookie who cares to snatch up the opportunity to burn the midnight oil. which is hard to obtain in these times of war and stress. Article VII Last but not least----we leave. v. FACULTY Our whole-hearted appreciation is extended to all members of the faculty who have helped to make our high school days beneficial to us. We are grateful to them for the patience and understanding they have showed us during the years we were with them. 23 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Election to this society is perhaps the greatest honor that this school can extend. These students have been recognized as having abilities in the four objectives of the organization, scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Because of their abilities they have been honored by being elected into a national organization. BOYS’ SPORTS ACTIVITIES These are the boys who fought the battles for the honor of dear old Rhodes High, on the gridiron, on the basketball floor, on the mats, on the track, and on the other fields of conquest. They may not always have been the best, but they always fought good. hard, clean games. These boys, while building up themselves physically and mentally, have given the mass of the students the chance to watch, to hear, and to feel the struggle as it progressed. These boys have given the student body a chance to get together and to cheer and to make new friends and to get better acquainted with old ones. 25------ GIRLS’ SPORTS ACTIVITIES Although members of the gentler sex do not receive the same recognition in sports that boys do. these girls have participated in sports during their high school careers, and have made for themselves a name as being tough adversaries. cAutographs
