We stand united In thy purpose true Loyal and faithful To the white and blue. DEDICATION We, the graduating class of January, 1958, dedicate this yearbook to Mr. William Martin. Although he retired in June, 1957, he has vividly remained in our thoughts. For three and one half years he served as homeroom teacher for our boys. Always understanding and well liked by all, he attended numerous class activities and was a great aid to our class — “our guiding light”. Members of the Class of January, 1958: A prominent American industrialist recently said: “In any society, the real pay-off will continue to come to the person who concerns himself first with blazing the trail ahead and not with keeping the road behind open.” In the coming years it will be natural for you to look back with varying degrees of pleasure upon your days at Rhodes, but we hope that the time you have spent here will have made it easier for you to look and think ahead, for there can be no progress without vision and there will be little vision unless you think ahead and think greatly about your job be it ever so humble. It is not too much to hope that all of you may find some way in which you can be trail blazers. Best wishes to each of you. Sincerely, NEIL D. MATHEWS The members of our class will always thank you, Mr. Blum, for the wise guidance and counsel you have given us. You have understood us in a way that few adults can. You patiently helped us to conquer our faults instead of condemning us for them, and you have showed us how to cultivate our better points in order to prove worthy of the trust that you placed in us. We will always remember you for this, and we hope that you will remember us as a class that tried to live up to the high standards you set for us. We are grateful to you, Miss Palmer, for the personal interest that you took in each and every one of us. With your fine sense of humor and your friendly smile, you won the friendship and trust of us all. Your enthusiasm inspired us, and through your urging we achieved things we did not realize we were capable of. We will always remember you as a teacher and friend who was ever ready and willing to help us solve our problems. We thank you sincerely. When a person reaches his senior year in high school, a tiny doubt worms its way into his mind. What does the future hold in store for him? In what way is he best suited to meet the challenge of life? At the time when these important decisions have to be made, we feel the need of someone to help us make the right one. You, Mr. Ferguson, were the one who gave us the help we needed. Taking into consideration our abilities, our natures, and our desires, you set us on the right track to a successful future and did much to ease the doubts we had. We shall always thank you for helping us when we most needed it.

At one time this was a thriving community, but the bulk of its habitation, in their search for Rhodesphorous, pushed on south when the supply in the town vacinity became exhausted. Boltzo now only exists as a supply center in Allen glen. The year . . . 1978. It is Saturday night and the town’s people have gathered at Lisy’s saloon to watch the imported sensation, Marge “Bubbles” Gough. Wait!! What’s the commotion down there? The town drunk, Jim Bognar, is being bounced by Tom Rexin, head bartender. Tom’s other bartenders, Frank Maraldo, and Dave Hobus assist him. The feature show is about to begin. Here come the girls!! In the chorus line we find Marlene Janz, Loretta Hanson, Georgene Lewis, and Beverly Eiben. Erwin Martin supplies the piano accompaniment. In another section of town, at the general store, the town’s people are sitting around the cracker barrel. Members of the Women’s Temperance League are discussing the town's welfare. Virginia Hunter, captain, is giving orders to her sergeants, Mary Lou Chorba and Mary Ann Cresante. Here comes Deacon Don Brown. Irene Wolzuk, the proprietor, asks him if he’ll lead the group in a few hymns. The other folks present are listening to the latest hit, “That Lucky 01’ Sun.” Times have changed. There’s Karl Steiner dancing with . . . why it’s Fred Whitman. Spike Maisey, foreman of the Boltzo mines has just rushed in shouting, “We’ve hit a new vein!!!” The town’s people are going wild! Sgt. Montie Cutlip is at his wits end trying to quell the mob. Deputies, Dave Dickens. Byron Fike, Don Maraldo, and George Novy come to his aid. Drs. Loreen Dickau and Pete Roman-chak are frantically at work in their home laboratories, rushing to develop a badly needed intradigitexer. (An intra-digitexer???) Here come the hurly-burly miners, Ken Flannagan, Jim Kazol, and Bill Servicky. Following them is their “straw” boss, Marlene Stefonsky, who really cracks the whip. They enter the saloon, clamoring for sasparilla. Connie Koehn, Bognar’s colleague in drink, staggers in just in time for a last snort before reporting to her boss, Stan Sokol, town mortician. Stan’s motto is, Use my convenient lay-away plan.” The Town Council is frantically at work to bring the people back to order. Mayor Glen Boltz and his cabinet members, Mary Ann Skwarlo, Dave Krailo, Elaine Dietrich, and Larry Eaton, have called an emergency meeting. They call in the manager of the Claims Office, Julius Kovacs, to hear their decision. The claims will be stopped until the turmoil has subsided. Kovacs is ably assisted by Virginia Sitek, Tom Gieroski, and Pat Timchick. The bulk of the book-work is handled by his private secretary, Esther Rivellino. Rushing in for the news for the latest issue of the “Daily Dirt” are Jackie Metzger, Jane Gelzinis, and Sonia Sasarak, co-editors. They are followed by their photographers Doreen Bartch, Marge Squire, and Dolores Dzuranin. They learn that the strike was discovered on Bob Lie-bold’s penguin ranch by his cook, Nola Lasher. Gathering penguin eggs she came upon the valuable metal. Cubing ice on a local glacier, Toni Vavroch and Joyce Weintz saw Nola go plum loco.” Alerting the Page 40 CLASS PROPEHCY — continued other cubers, Barbara Ferrell, Ursula Janke, and their boss, Dave Sommer, the cubers ran to Nola as she yelled, “Eureka, Eureka.” The kitchen help, Carol Dorner and Geraldine Garner alerted Harold (Spike) Maisey who brought the news to the town. Tonight a special banquet will be given in Nola’s honor at Dick Bibel’s ice house, the “hottest place in town. Waiters and waitresses, Dave Rodusky, Dave Holst, Fran Murino, and Linda Keils, arc setting the tables. The party is about to commence. Wait, here comes bespectacled Steve Tekesky, head assayer, followed by his somber co-workers Tom Froby, Mel Zelek and Ron Ferguson, and their secretary Joan Cianciola. Steve asks to make an announcement. His words stun the crowd. “The strike isn’t Rhodephorous. The metal is nothing but Iggyphorous, which is absolutely worthless. THE END . . . CLASS HISTORY — continued from Page 37 Boltz, Zelek, Ferguson, Leibold, and Rodusky. Taking up the baton for the third consecutive time, Nola Lasher is President of Orchestra. Fran Murino takes up her baton again as one of the seven majorettes. October 29, 1957 Speakers at the N.H.S. induction are Stan Sokol, Doreen Bartch, Connie Koehn, Jim Bognar, and Nola Lasher. Those inducted are Marge Gough, Ursula Janke, Marlene Stefonsky, and Dave Sommer. Congratulations to them. And a good, good morning to you,” beams our announcers Dick Lisy, Dave Sommer, Dave Dickens, and Tom Froby. Stan Sokol, Jim Bognar, and Nola Lasher rank high in Ohio State Psychological brainwashing. This means they have good chances of working themselves to death at college, being pessimistic about that particular test. Besides all mannerisms of flu, viruses, and tse-tse fly epidemics, the painters have invaded the drab interior of Rhodes with beautiful new pastel shades that are fast giving us a new face Bows to the officers of Senior Choir. President, Dave Sommer; Vice President, Jules Kovacs; Treasurer, Dick Lisy. Miss Vavroch has already taken her bow as Secretary. October 30, 1957 Plans for a production by our dramatics class see Tom Froby, Dick Lisy, Dave Sommer, Virginia Hunter .Jules Kovacs in the play “Men Are Like Streetcars.” Again our girls ranked high in the Community Chest Drive. Our boys led the male portion of the school for the second consecutive year. Not to slight beauty among our ranks, we congratulate Esther Rivellino on being elected Football Queen attendant. Many activities not listed here have been part of our class. To those who in their own silent ways have participated and upheld the true Rhodes spirit without due recognition, we say thanks. Plans for the future are the Informal and Prom dances. The Informal ‘Winter Wonderland’ will be held on Saturday, December 14, 1957. The Prom date is set for Saturday, January 18, 1958. And lastly, but most happily, our class awaits that big day—January 21, 1958. This date will be the most significant of all our lives as in leaving these halls of learning we go our ways with the lessons not found in any book. The defeats and worries, questions, endeavors, victories, joys, and friendships are now a part of us. Always keep smiling—because in our smiles rests the future of tomorrow and America. Our high school days are ended. Page 41 JANUARY, 1958, DIRECTORY Koehn, Constance.......... .. 3221 Oak Park Avenue Kovacs, Julius................4201 Valley Road......

Mr. Schmidt, For all the time, the personal help you have given us, and the pleasure and satisfaction we have had through the many performances of the Instrumental Music Departmen t. we s a y, “Many thanks.” Mr. Van Nortwick, Since vocal music plays a tremendous part in our cultural education, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for all your efforts, and for all the many hours of your time so generously given to us. To Members of the Class of June, 1958: The unsolved problems facing our country at this time should help convince us that America is still the land of opportunity. Too often the immigrant or refugee realizes this fact more than does the native-born. It is our hope that you will be concerned in the years after graduation not only with doing something for yourselves and your families, but also with doing something to help enrich your school, your church, your community, and your America. In doing so you will be helping to guarantee that our “sweet land of liberty continues to be known throughout most of the world as the land of opportunity. Best wishes to each of you. Sincerely, NEIL D. MATHEWS vVN Class of ’58 MAGIC MOMENTS AT RHODES HIGH In September, 1954. we arrived - - bewitched, bothered, and bewildered. We bought elevator passes, lost program cards, and caused general confusion. “Where’s the cafeteria?” “Is this the way to the auditorium?” “Isn’t this homeroom period?” There were all sorts of laws to learn: the Code of Hammurabi, the laws of Julius Caesar, the Napoleonic Code - - even homeroom and school laws. In our freshman year, we were much mystified. Whereas, we had always thought that an “X” represented a kiss, we were now taught that “X stood for an unknown quantity in algebra ;while in English “X” stood for the known quantity, the subject of the sentence. Now we were confused! Was an “X” known or unknown? Was a kiss worth anything? But now we knew everything. We were sophomores! We were wise to the mores. In elementary school we had worked long and short division. Now, we talked gaily of cell division, of amoebae, of protozoa, and of frogs’ nervous systems. Magic moments! We were juniors at last. That year we became aware that a dash wasn’t just a mark of punctuation, but that “Dash” meant president.” That fact was again pleasantly impressed on us in our senior year. Suddenly, as if by magic, some evil spirit had come up from behind and had pushed us into our last year at Rhodes. The mystery of CO, H SO and H,0 was now revealed. (My, how chemistry has gone up in value these last few months!) And here we are at the last precious moments. It’s hello to the future and farewell to the past. Oh, moments of magic, you’re fleeing all too soon, and now they all say we must go to the moon. So. good-bye, Alma Mater. We love you - - and yet, there’s a lure and a call in the zoom of a jet. We’ll enter, we’ll win the contest for space. Just give us our helmets; we’re off to the race. Miss McGinness If I had only one suggestion to help guide your future, it might well be Polonius’ advice to his son “This above all: to thine own self be true . . . thou canst not then be false to any man.” Pattern your life in such a way that you can face yourself in the mirror each morning with pride and satisfaction. Harry E. Blum To the June class of 1958 we hope the future will bring life’s richest blessings among which we count good health, for without physical and mental vigor, industry and ambition cannot flower; an absorbing vocation, for without work life is dull and meaningless; love of family and friends, for without them prosperity loses its delight and adversity is hard to bear; and a satisfying philosophy of life, for without spiritual convictions, peace of mind and contentment with one’s lot cannot result. May all these be yours - - and one more gift, humility, so that though you may achieve renown, you will still be of service to your fellow-man. Our very best wishes to each one of you. Helen E. Palmer May the experience and training acquired during your high school years make it easier to arrive at right decisions in the many and difficult problems you will encounter in the future. Best wishes for your success! Carl B.

OUR CLASS HISTORY - 1954-1958 GREENHORNS With the opening of the September ’54 school year there came to Rhodes the freshmen who were to be the graduating class of 1958. There were 267 of us then (138 girls and 129 boys), confused, bewildered, and perhaps bumptious as 9B’s will be. Despite deviating influences, we all at length stumbled upon the auditorium that first day and were, for the first time, a united class. We were introduced to those fortunate (?) people who were to play the role of parents to this group of fourteen-year-olds who thought they’d already seen the world. The unsuspecting pedagogs were Misses Ballash and McGinness, Mes-dames Karnatz, Mock, and Messrs. Bereit, Levine, Rockwood, and Seginac. Several weeks of orientation classes and general instruction and we began to feel a little more at home here so that we could finally settle down to general science and algebra. The new band members really got a workout (and we bet Mr. Schmidt did too) getting acquainted with the side streets in the Rhodes vicinity during marching practice. High school offered new experiences to us ninth graders. Football rallies gave us occasional breathers between classes, we attended musical concerts and the first National Honor Society induction gave us inspiration and encouragement. After spending a year in these hallowed halls, we were well acquainted with Rhodes and high school life. We had passed the first milestone in the completion of high school and left the torn programs and gullibility of the freshman year to the incoming 9B's. SOPHOMORES We plunged into the second year of high school, joined by Mr. Templin who was to be our senior adviser. We went on to great things—dissecting cow’s eyes in biology, tedious finger exercises in typing, and speech classes. Now we began to join in the extracurricular activities and really got into the swing of things. Especially was this true of the Hi-Y pledgies. Remember the entertainment they provided in the cafeteria? Other activities such as majorettes, Gym Leaders, junior varsity athletics, Foreign Affairs Club, Student Council, the Glee Clubs and Junior Choir, posture contests, and Y-Teens showed us that a high school career is not only books and study alone. It is, in addition, a feeling of belonging to and taking part in the life of our home away from home. UPPERCLASSMEN! Having passed the half-way point of our life at Rhodes we began to realize that we were casting the die for our futures and that we needed to get down to business. In the eleventh grade, American history, physics, shorthand and autobiographies in English class took a lot of our time which seemed to dwindle as the assignments piled up. Besides all this concentration on education, many of us found time to procure girls’ gym awards and Varsity “R’s”. Others participated in dramatic and musical productions. United for the second time while at Rhodes, we had our first class meeting in the auditorium. Class officers were elected as a result of this meeting: president, Dick Dash; vice-president, Nick Chapler; secr-tary, Ojars Mantenieks; treasurer, Sue Hricik; and social chairman, Tom Gerdel. “Roman Holiday”, our first informal, got our class activities off to good start. Snow Road Metropolitan Park was the scene of our 11A picnic. The girls’ soft ball team, under the splendid management of Mr. Hoffman, put up a good fight and a winning battle (or was it a losing battle?) against the merciful onslaught of the tactful masculine forces. This contest was followed by the attack of these hungry athletes on the pavilion, which held for us what we were disappointedly to discover were raw hot-dogs and sour Kool-Aid. Eleven of the scholarly members of our class were inducted into the National Honor Society which was a sign that our scholastic endeavors were beginning to pay off. To climax our junior year Tom Gerdel and Rita Erne were elected to the offices of president and vice-president of the Student Council for the following year. WE MADE IT! Beginning our last year of high school, reaching the top, and becoming seniors, we embarked upon completing the twelfth and final stepping stone of our public schooling. We left the old homerooms to become united in the girls’ 219 and the boys’ 209 homerooms. New class officers were: secretary, Alice Gompf, and social chairman, Mary Jane Egna, while others retained their previous posts. Despite unfavorable weather, our picnic, thwarted by a continuous deluge of rain, was a tremendous success. One success followed another and our 12B informal, Drifting and Dreaming,” continued in the same pattern. Our fellows were the star athletes of the football squad, and our class was well represented in the election of the football queen for that season. Other contributions from our class were a Community Fund speech, great artistic achievements, honors in music, and more National Honor Society inductees. The basketball team also was led by members of our class. With the 12A semester we took over the “senior” tables in the cafeteria and went on in our second semester of chemistry and more Senior Choir. We did our share in promoting honor study halls and providing hall guards. Class officers for the 12A semester were: president: Dick Dash; vice-president, Ron Annes; secretary, Alice Gompf; treasurer, Ojars Mantenieks; social chairman, Pat Hunsicker; and yearbook editor, Larry Wozny. Major activities in this semester were our 12A informal, “Mardi Gras,” the picnic, and our prom, “In a Persian Garden,” with our musical Commencement on June 10th terminating twelve years of scholarly effort. Reminiscing, remember when we all had plenty of study halls and nine-period days, and we could get to classes on time; when the boys could wear blue-jeans and the girls wore slacks to school for the class picnics; when fire and security drills brought about haphazard confusion; when everybody was able to hear homeroom announcements; and finally when there were enough chairs in the cafeteria for exhausted seniors? These treasured recollections of our dear old Alma Mater, James Ford Rhodes, we recall with nostalgia, remembering the fun, frivolity, friendships, and fundamentals established here.

Why burst your heart with useless striving? Look to the lilies and the flowers growing on the banks. The waters of the pond are crystal-clear for those who would look deep in them, the perfume of the flowers sweet for those who would bow and breathe their fragrance, the sky beyond the whispering trees blue and pure for those who would look.

Four years —beyond them life, life with its labor, its mysteries, its joys, its sorrows. Gather flowers with your left hand; with your right, forge a sword of finest steel. You have a battle yet to fight, with happiness its goal.

From the high vantage point of twenty-five and a half years at Rhodes, it is a great pleasure to reflect on the past and its contributions to your heritage. Vividly I remember that February of 1932 when we were younger; we squashed through mud, rocks, and other multifarious debris for the opportunity to enter these brand new and magnificent halls of learning. Ahead was a chance to establish precedents, to attain great goals, to learn all the enduring values which an education might give one. Throughout all these years many fine students have proved that Rhodes did give them opportunity for betterment of themselves as individuals, as scholars, as citizens. Not only did they recognize the opportunity but they used it to the full. As I look back over the years, I can recall many students who did grasp these opportunities and who made or are still making successful lives for themselves. They took advantage of everything that school offered them, realizing full well that the responsibility for a successful life depends to a large extent upon their own efforts and desire to succeed. Many of you are among those who have taken advantage of the opportunities offered by your school. To all of you I send my very best wishes. You have a goodly heritage indeed. Edith Cherrington TO THE EDITOR: When Rhodes High opened in February, 1932, there came into existence a new school. The building and equipment were new--yes, even to the point of rawness, for it was not entirely completed; the faculty was new- -having been collected from other schools; the students were new- -to the school, to the grades (8B—12A) and to each other. No auditorium, no girls' gym, no landscaping, no athletic field, no playground, no familiar teachers’ faces, no old school friends- -all was new. Moreover, another new something was entirely absent—that real but intangible something; that of tradition, custom, spirit, pride, and all else which is necessary to a feeling and knowledge of a school. Five grades, a faculty of fifty, approximately fifteen hundred students, new furnishings, malfun c t i o n i n g heating, unpainted waits, plankboards for a walk laid in a mud stretch, a school treasury with zero funds, athletic teams without equipment, a band without uniforms, and the depression of the thirties were all part of the background of beginning. Yet, seemingly at the very start, just about everyone felt and realized there was a job to do- -a big one. As each part of the job appeared, there were many who appeared to do it. The carnivals to raise money just to buy and do some of the things needed in a school, the circus in the gym, the band uniform campaign, the various club and class groupings, study and scholastic attainment— all came along and all were accomplished, some beyond expectation. Each Rhodian had a part to do which he did- - and a little more. There came out of the sum total of these contributions a model which came to be recognized as Rhodian; the source of the growth that led to the excellent reputation held by Rhodes High School by all who knew it or had heard of it. That to me is the most impressive event in the history of Rhodes High: the molding of a good name, a heritage of sincere pride. Oliver Hoffman TO THE EDITOR Although I entered Rhodes with apprehension, I realized that this was the beginning of a great challenge. These next four years would, basically speaking, set the pattern for the future. In my freshman year I found myself confronted with those things I now accept as routine. During my sophomore year I gained confidence in myself and began to take interest in social activities of Rhodes, such as various clubs and sports. My junior year furthered the companionship of our class by having its traditional picnic and informal. My senior year is the year I would cherish most of all. To me it means the last basketball game I have played in for Rhodes, the last choir concert I have taken part in, and missing a lot of friends that I have learned to know these last four years. Completing my final year at Rhodes, I feel that I have overcome the challenge that had been put before me these last four years of high school. Richard Dash THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the June class of James Ford Rhodes in the year of our Lord 1958, being of nearly sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under duress, menace, fraud, or undue influence of any teacher whomsoever, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

Signed on this 10th day of June, The June Class of 1958 Witnesses: Sue Turnbull Mike Shano Irene Reineks TO THE EDITOR: After four years of high school, I look back on my playing football and basketball as my fondest moments. In football, I can look back to our freshman and junior varsity teams and remember how much we looked forward to playing on the varsity squad. I remember particularly the '56 Sandusky game. It was the first time we had gone out of the city to play. Although we lost the game, we still looked forward to the next year when we would be seniors and would play them for the last time. I also remember how scared and nervous I was as I went onto the field. We knew we had to win. The cheering from the band, cheerleaders, and the loyal students who made special trips to see us play, helped us to win the game 6 to 0. I had my greatest thrill while playing J. V. basketball under Mr. Rock wood. It was the second time we played Ignatius that season. We won 56 to 55. It was their only defeat and the only time I played on a team that beat them. I only regret that we, as seniors, could not reach our potential in football. We let down the school and our coaches who worked so very hard. In basketball this season we were much better than our record shows, but things just didn’t work right for the team. Rhodes has done a lot for me. I've met many swell people and have acquired good friends. I look forward to the future, but will always remember my days at Rhodes. Ron Telischak TO THE EDITOR: In all wage and salary negotiations, “fringe benefits” are a major topic. How about your “fringe benefits while at Rhodes? Have you learned to be an orderly, dependable, industrious, persevering student? Have you discovered that to be courteous and co-operative is helpful in finding and keeping friends? Have you learned to praise the many fine things that you find at Rhodes, and to try to correct the deficiencies you see? If you have learned good work habits, how to get a-long with people, and to help improve existing conditions, your “fringe benefits” have been collected. Furthermore I am sure that your “take home pay” (grades) has been adequate. You have the educational tools, the personality traits, and the proper attitudes for work, further schooling, lifelong friendships, and good citizenship. Congratulations to you and your parents on your accomplishments while at Rhodes and sincere best wishes for the future. Mr.Hicks DEAR EDITOR Now that my education in public schools is complete, I’m supposedly prepared to face the future intelligently, whether it’s college, a job, or marriage. These twelve years have provided me with the opportunity to gain knowledge and friends, some of whom will remain with me for perhaps a lifetime. My three years at Rhodes are the most memorable of my life thus far. Thrills like that of a certain NHS induction, singing with the choir and Triple Trio, or editing the Rhodes Review can be understood only by those who have experienced the same privileges. These events constituted the highlights of my high school years; but a mong the enjoyab 1 e ex periences that can’t be omitted are flaming chem labs, the American History classes in which Mr. Hoffman was forced into drastic disciplinary measures with the talkative Grandma Quinn,” or the squiggles we accepted on faith in shorthand. As a reminder of the many school activities; I’ve kept a collection of posters, pro grams, report cards, and even a personalized get-well card sent to me by Miss Cherr-ington’s English class. These sentimental obj e c t s can never replace the events they represent. At best, they can only renew the happy memories of my days at Rhodes High. Janet Pirro TO THE EDITOR: I wish to thank you for this opportunity to express my feelings about Rhodes. It is a wonderful school with a lot of wonderful people. I will never forget our 11A informal, and the many friends I made there. Of course, there were other dances and there will be many more, but this is the one I will always remember. To the faculty I would like to express my sincere thanks for helping me get the good education I now have. Without their help I would certainly have missed many of the fine things in life. I am proud to graduate from Rhodes. Dan O'Meara JUST THIMK “GREAT EXPECTATIONS” By James Hamilton During the past four years, we have experienced world-shattering and record-breaking events which have affected our personalities and philosophies. We have matured in a singular era, an era which was characterized by man's upward climb to better living. Let us again walk down the halls of James Ford Rhodes and, amidst the undying footfalls and bubbling laughter; let us be referred to previous events and the effects they made upon our lives. The labor, anti-trust, and various other investigating committees have played such an important part in our lives; the position once held by McCarthy is coveted by SHARON BLUNK. Similarly, TED KLEIN has adopted the Estes handshake, while TONY TYRPAK has assumed the coon look. These conferences have not only augmented our vocabulary and indigestion but have afforded MARIE LABYK opportunity to practice shorthand and TOM MILLS to develop his cleaning industry. Other national and international news has affected our dispositions. Budapest, the city washed red by the blood of its freedom fighters, has inspired JANE BOLEK to perfect the blood-proof shoe. Budapest, the scene of a horrible defeat and a winning victory, has induced JIM McRAE to hit the moon while HELEN CHARVAT and VICKY KRO-KOS have applied for positions in the United Nations Security Force. This e-vent has also caused the team of PROKU-PEK and POLY to develop a freedom bomb - - one sniff and you’re free. Second to Budapest is Little Rock, the sore spot of the nation. It is said that Governor Faubus will be defeated in the next election by KEN DANCIK. Ken predicts that with the aid of National Guard officers, KEN and BILL GRAINGER, there will be no further riots. Governor Faubus is not the only personality that has influenced our class. Heroic Babe Didriccson has been the inspiration of the women’s first four minute mile which is being perfected by DOLORES STEFAN. So also, Van Doren, quiz champ, has induced DORIS AKINS to become all-time book worm in order to equal her idol. DORIS BOLSTERLING, inspired by Marlon Brando, sees an Oscar” in her future. She has only to find a part that is suited for her. In like manner, SALLY GRIEBELER hopes to imitate the success of Grace Kelly, while ALLEN EICHLER hopes to match Humphrey Bogart. In addition, BOB CRAIGIE is slated to replace Jimmy Hoffa, Teamster boss. He promises free reins. Likewise the personality of the American Observer has caused SANDRA BEATON to develop the Kruschev smile, while JOHN BROWN has been animated by his idol, Billy Graham. Space has also influenced us, and since there is some, we will say a few words about it. Animal lovers jumped to their feet in indignation at the thought of a poor, unprotected puppy, secluded in the lonely, empty vastness of outer space. News has been received that pilots SARA BROWN and AL PELOSO have volunteered to act as substitutes in proposed space experiments in order to prevent further cruelty to dogdom; space congestion is said to be a problem of tomorrow. MARIE FOECK-ING has been designated as “Czar” of the space police, while PAT DECKER has been assigned to M. W. B. (MIELKE Way Beat). GERDEL IN THE STRETCH In the fall when the dead leaves are falling And wild birds have ceased their shrill calling, Helmets and pads are donned by stout lads Who partake in the rasslin' and maulin'. Oh! For the days of the gridiron brawls Geared under the leadership of Mac and Ralls. The husky Ram team of blue and of white Did give its opponents a hell of a fight. And leading his men was RON TELI-SCHAK JUST THIMK — continued With strength and courage to back the attack. Ends. GLOVER and MANTENIEKS, showed their skill When they blocked and ran and took many a spill. To one was often said, “That’ll learn ya!” But he came back for more, did CALIFORNIA. There was never a player quite as rare As vociferous RUSNAK, nicknamed “The Bear.” BARGIEL and CROFT made tackles by the score Practically always they traveled home sore. There was always DENNIS with the first aid To patch up the wounded and bury the daid. In the spring when the lilacs are blooming And lovers have started their cooing, The time is near when the trackmen appear To thrill us with jumping and zooming. First call, second call, third call, the gun, Twisting and panting, the cindermen run. Down the stairways, around the curves, Race the Holdenmen completely unnerved. Groaning and moaning, BURTON runs the mile, Captures a trophy, trots off with a smile. The second place winner is—oh. my stars! It’s another Rhodes runner—GORDON DEMARS. In the fifty yard dash there is no sorrow. For first place was won by speedy KEN MORROW. KAMINSKI gives Ken a close run in the fifty. It’s a guess to see who can run more swiftly. Watch those hurdles and see how they vanish Under the strides of MROCZKA and ANNES. Pole vaulter BRANDENBURG wins with ease, Goes over the bar as high as you please. • • Come with us while we trace back the map of time to a period when knights were dazed and, - - well, see for yourself. King HEIDELOFF and his knights, Sir SNOWBRICK. Sir HABERKORN, and Sir JOHN JANKE are concerned over the presence in the kingdom of Grendel, the fiery dragon. Princesses DOLORES IHNAT and LYNN HIRSCH are playing a game of blackjack in the royal garden when Grendel sticks his head over the garden wall, saying, I wuv you, I wuv you to bits!” Princess Dolly runs to the castle and procures an axe to break the glass of a wall case which reads, In case of dragon, break glass . Sir Janke steps through the broken glass. Under PAT CHAPMAN’S influence, the dragon promises not to blow smoke at the castle and says, “I dont wuv you anymore.” In another part of the kingdom, Clyde, the alchemist, and his assistants, ROSE CESARATTO and BARBARA FUER-HOFF, are studying their editions of BARBARA BICKLEMEYER’S book, “500 Magic Terms and Potions.” “Oh ho,” the master wizard calls, “it’s time for classes!” As NANCY GEHL and JOAN GEN-IEC, two would-be magicians, approach the tower, the assistant mixes the chemicals so that none of their experiments will work. Along one of the forest paths ride two rich nuns. BEVERLY NICKLAS and PAT NIELSON. Suddenly, from behind a large bush, jumps JIM MORDAUNT and two of his merry men. “We’ll take your money, my rich friends, calls NICK CHAPLER. Oh well, it’s for a good cause,” declares RONALD SLOVICK. As the three bold robbers walked away, they decide, After all, we’re the poorest in the kingdom.” • • a • Conversation overheard between two young WACS: “Golly, BARBARA MEIER, isn’t this a terrible life? This morning I was awakened by our sergeant, JUST THIMK — continued FRANCIS McLAUGHLIN. She told me it was 4:30. I told her she’d better get to bed, since we had a tough day ahead of us tomorrow.” “Yes, JOYCE NAHUIS, I know what you mean. I asked the supply sergeant, OWENA O’KELLEY, for a few more rounds of lip-stick, and she said. “Remember our camp motto, ‘Less and less of more and more makes us fit for lots of war!” “Do you know, Barbara, I think those Army fellas, DICK DASH and PAUL STIBORA, are trying to tease us. Yesterday Paul and I were riding in my jeep, and I had a flat tire. These fellas came along. I told them I knew where the air filter was, but I didn’t know how to hook it to the tire. They just laughed and laughed.” “I think you’re right Joyce. About a week ago CECILIA PACIOREK. GAYLE PAGEL, PAT PRESLAN and I were over at the men’s firing range. The target master, JOE SLOMKA had us firing from 300 yards. We didn’t do so well, so he moved us up to 200 yards. We still weren’t hitting the targets, so he moved us up to 100 yards. Nobody got a hit, and he shouted, 'Fix bayonets, charge!' I think he was fooling, ’cause when we cut up his targets, he got pretty mad.” “I guess that fellow was right.” “What fellow? “The guy who said. ‘War is tough.” CpHiOzCzOaLpAiTeE The sun cast soft shades over the market place, centering upon the statue of DENNIS FECHTER, the founder of this small Italian village. Near the center of the square, MARLENE VRABEL was selling onion rings. To her left, BOB SULL was selling violets while his friend PAT PETERS complained that few people were buying fish tails this morning. Then, JANET PIRRO, daughter of the Pizza King, tripped up the fountain singing, I'm Going to Sit Right Down and Eat Myself a Pizza. In answer, the baker, JOHN HURA, set loose his cry of “Day-O-Bread.” Not to be outdone, the seamstress, ELAINE GRIFFIN, warbled. “I'll Be Sewing You in All the Old Familiar Places.” Here one of Janet’s admirers, HARRY LILLY, piloted his wagon into the square expostulating the glories of, The Surrey with the Sauerkraut on Top.” As he paused near Janet, the owner of the hardware store, HALLIE HAENI, chanted I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Bolts and Nuts.” The beautician, MADELINE GREGG, decided this a fitting time to inform everyone that she planned to “Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair. From the opposite corner came the call of Janet’s other admirer, BRIAN GRIFFIN, “Standing On the Corner Selling All My Chocolate Bars.’ As Janet and her two admirers leave the scene, the butcher begs his sweetheart to “Butcher Arms Around Me, Honey.” At the Pizza Palace, Janet”s mother, SHERRILL WIDLICKA, was kneading dough. Her father, DAVID VAUGHAN, informs the admirers that neither was good enough for his daughter; he would have a pizza-eating contest, to determine which one should marry her. That evening at the contest grounds the chief tomato sauce stirrer, JUDITH CONKLIN, was stirring tomato sauce. Off to the side of the fire, oblivious to its sparkle, a drama being enacted before them; two gypsies were performing. As GAIL PRITKO played her concertina, MARY BETH DANKO was dancing the “Russian Rumble.” Then came the most important event ever to occur in the town. Each of the participants, under the direction of the biggest cheese, JOYCE MIKA, stumbled warily to his appointed place. Get ready” shouted the official starter, DONNA DEMCHO. “Eat, she screamed, and the 9,000 members of the town screamed with delight. Each side called encouragement to its favorite; “urp”, each admirer agreed. A small girl, BARBARA MEYER, was JUST THIMK — continued walking down-wind from the battlegrounds. Suddenly, she keeled over, victim of the odor of the stale pizzas, cold pepperonies, and two contestants who had had a little too much pizza. Downing the pizza, piece after piece, the rivals demolished the stack of pies in short order. In came CAROLYN DRAKE, MARY JANE EGNA, and CAROLYN DOMBROSKI from the kitchen - - bringing more pizza. The half-plump twosome started in again. Halfway through the second batch, our friend, the sauerkraut salesman showed signs of weakening. A nurse named CYNTHIA MILLER, watching the duel suddenly stepped out of the crowd and gave Brian a checkup. Finding that the pizza was coming out of Brian’s ears, he stopped the contest, declaring the winner by P. K. O., or Pizza Knock-Out. Brian and Janet walked blissfully to the nearest Justice of the Peace while Mildred Clow shoveled up pizza scraps and shoved them back in the mix to give the spectators a treat. At DIANE GUTGLUECK’s house, a quiet service was taking place. The Right Reverend JIM LATSKO stepped forward and began the services. As he sang Death of a Dream , the two young lovers held hands and walked up before him. He began the services. Friends, we all know what a fine man this was......... Woops! Wrong service! Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today......... At the end of the service, as the flower girls, BARBARA BARTKIEWICZ and RUTH BERGSTRESSER showered the pair with rice, Brian and his new wife started to leave. When his friend PHIL WEICEK asked him if he were going on his honeymoon, he shook his head. VAUGHAN explained an idea he had to develop. He planned to make Glunchies , luscious milk-chocolate-covered pieces of pizza, filled with big. juicy chunks of pepperoni. The hamburger is dead; long live the pizza pie! HAVE CAR, WILL TRAVEL By John Birkimer Here’s my card, Sheriff, said A. E. Paladin. “Come on, gang, those pesky Pontiacs have jumped reservation again. One of their braves, BRIAN PARKER, told us they wanted Maypo for extra en-ger-ny, he shouted. Paladin, whose Have car, will travel was known throughout the West, knew that it was his duty to try to prevent harm to defenseless women and children. With cries of Hi-Ho Chevy, from the rough-riding RICHARD GOLAN and “Come On Ply, from Sidewinder SPINELLO, Paladin’s boys hit the road. Off in a cloud of dust rode Mad-man MYRIONIAK, Go Get-um GEIL, LOUIS the Red and Hard-hitting HEZEL, and the rest of Paladin’s trusty lads. Meanwhile, back at the reservation, Big Chief PALUMBO and his braves were doing their well-known war dance. Any resemblence to a traffic jam is pure-1 y obvious. Ma n-With-Short-Red-Hair NAEGELE threw back his head and gave his terror striking war cry, Get that heap off the road. Not to be outdone, Sub-chief Jack - in - the - Trunk Mc-CREERY answered with his equally well known If you can’t drive it, park it.” Then, reaching a horn-blowing, throttle pumping frenzy, the Pontiacs were off in a cloud of blue smoke. As the pesky carmints” stormed across Pearl Run. they discovered a wagon train, (jeep convoy) led by the King of Ye Olde Open RoadeJOHN ROHDE. Deciding to hold a pow-wow with the settlers, the Pontiacs sent their chief interpreter, IVAN WEICH, to make signs of peace. (An inverted mush-room cloud.) In the discussion which followed, an exchange of hostages was arranged. GEORGE METRICK, one of the wagon-eers, agreed to act as the hood-ornament for a ’53 Dodge, while TOM PASTERNAK, an Indian, consented to work in a cigar store. Content to leave the white-eyes and continue their escape, the Pal- JUST THIMK — continued umbo-men rode off. At the fork of the Little Ridge Road and the Big Memphis Creek, the showdown was beginning to take shape. A. E. Paladin and his boys had stopped at Fort JOHN BOSKO, where they had helped Colonel OKTAVEC and several of his soldiers straighten up Wild BOB KNORR and the HANSEN Gang, who were shooting up the “O. K. White Castle Saloon. Then, after being equipped with the new repeating chrome Air Horn 73’s, famous as the Horn that Won the West, they continued toward the ensuing battle. With a screeching of brakes and a gnashing of gears, the Pontiacs charged down on Paladin and his boys. But then, just as the two groups were about to clash, Sheriff McDONOUGH and his chief deputy, Catch-um CUTLIP, arrived with their posse. Each of the deputies was armed with one of the sheriff’s shiny white tow-trucks. It seemed that both Paladin and the Indians had ridden down a oneway cattle train. Minutes later, it was all over. As the tow-trucks pulled the valiant chargers into the sunset, A. E. and his boys stood with Big Chief Palumbo sadly watching. Here’s my card,” volunteered A. E. The chief looked slowly at his hand, and then realized the full effect his actions were to have on the West. There, where once had been the words that struck fear into the hearts of the lawless, were these words. Have thumb, will travel. • • « When our class sings “Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine,” they really mean Graduation Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine. As this last day ends, it is fitting to record for all posterity the actions of each group as it eats its final meal in the cafeteria of James Ford Rhodes. In one corner, after nine months of practice. LOIS GRAY, SUE HRICIK, JUSTINE ROSEBROUGH, and JANET WALTZER have finally succeeded in harmonizing “We Are Table Number Two. From across the way, BARBARA HINCKLEY, MARLYN KERSTEN, and BARBARA RONYETZE, not to be outdone, answer back with Here’s to KRASUNA and the way she does the Hula.” At the table of SUE STAHLEY, BARBARA YANNIE, and Company, the girls are so busy eating that no one has time to sing. In fact, if ROSEMARY LAVELLE has something to say to IRENE REINEKS, a note is passed via PEGGY SCHROEDER, CHRISTINE VACHUSKA, and NANCY WILLIAMS. Not only does this procedure contribute to a quiet cafeteria, but it gives each girl more time to have something in her mouth. However, don’t get the idea that the only things done are singing and eating. On the contrary, if you asked LEAH LUDLOW and ROSE MADACHIK what their gang does at lunch, they would be sure to mention the many walks taken with their friends MARIANNE MATHEIS, DOLORES SCHMIDT, IRMA JANKE, and DIANE KNIPPER. Still, don’t get the idea that these girls don’t like to eat less than any other group of girls. Just observe ANN TESAR, TAMARA THOMPSON, ROSALIE TROLYKA, or DOLORES VESELENAK in the Bright Spot sometime and you’ll see what I mean. Finally on this last perfect day, we’ll go to the noon movie with GEORGIANNA KETOLA, JEAN KAVULA, and CARYL LUIS. Since it is such a special occasion, PAT HUNSICKER has designed special tickets, each having a picture of JOY SOPKO’S flute. These tickets, which cost one Ruble, are being sold by professional ticket sellers PAUL RUSINKO and BOB TEKESKY. If you are wondering why tickets are at such a premium, Promoter MARIE CORRAO will quickly tell you that the feature attraction is Androcles and the Lion, featuring CARL STAS as the lion. Well anyway, that’s how the lunch period was spent. If you're trying to decide how I could see so much, the explanation is simple. I had to stand up; there weren’t any chairs to sit on.
