Class History Y, how time fliesl Seems as though it was just a few days ago that we, as nervous and frightened Freshmen,made our initial entrance into the glorious halls of Seneca. Look at the size of that guyl was a common expression that we used when marvelling at the stature of the upper-class- men. Everything here was strange to us, and the readiustment pe- rios was rather difficult at first. The teachers, curriculum, and especially our classmates were so new to us. The machinists were lucky in that they came directly to the main building, and not to the annex, as did the electricians. As far as sports are concerned, there wasn't much done by our class, except for Big John Regan, who, although a fresh- rpan, gained an honorable mention on the All-High Football eam. Our sophomore year was highlighted by two memorable e- vents. Mr. Robert E. May, formerly assistant-principal in charge of the annex, was transferred to the main building to re- place Mr. William Pritchard as assistant-pI'ir1CipCIl, who in turn took the ost of assistant-principal of Girls' Vocational High School. The other was the passing on of Mr. Henry Shepard, photography instructor, whose classes were taken over by Mr. Victor Gilbert. ln that year, John Regan was elected to the first string of the Qif-fglq Evening News All-High Football Team, and to the second string of the Courier-Express. Also in sports, we took second place in basketball, first in track, and second in cross- country. ln baseball we stormed over everyone, but lost the championship to McKinley at Offerman Stadium. lt seems that in its third year, the class really came into the limelight. As others began to sit up and take notice, we, too, could see that we were no longer mere schoolboys, but were developing into young men. This time Regan was put on the first strings of both newspapers All-High teams, as was to be the case in his senior year. Eman- uel Phillips was elected co-chairman of the Tribal Council, as other iuniors began to take places of importance throughout the school. Class Prophecy OOD evening, ladies and gentlemen. We welcome you to the Seneca Casino. We hope that you enioy the show which we have planned for your enioyment. And now, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you our first star of the evening. Here he is, direct from a smash en- gagement at the Club Greece, that world-famous fortune teller, Professor Emanuel Phillips. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your generous ap- plause. l will now look into my crystal ball and make my pre- dictions. l, Professor Emanuel Phillips, prophesy that twenty years from now: The sole owner of the world's largest marble producing fac- tory will be Robert Transiskus. His chief marble tester will be Gerald Wehrlin. Donald Klocke will be the tallest player on the Washington Generals' Basketball Team feven taller than Bill Spingl, and Joey Giambra will be his coach. Bill Adams will become the conductor of the New York Phil- harmonic Orchestra, and under his baton will be Ronald Pitt- man, the world's greatest classical-iazz pianist. A sad note came when it was learned that Mr. Fred J. Atz- rott, a machine sho instructor for over thirty years, was to re- tire at the end of the first term. However, an able teacher in the person of Mr. Elek Csont took over for the remainder of the year. Summing up the year's athletic achievements, we found that the varsity football team came out in second place with an im- pressive five win-one loss record, while the basketball s uad did not fare so well. ln cross-country, Seneca placed fourfla in the All-High Meet, the first of its kind. Formerly we had not competed with the academic high schools. The fourth and final year of our soioum was entered upon with mixed feelings. Whether or not it was to be an eventful one was up to the class as a whole. Looking back, we can see now that it was an eventful year -- and a successful one. Under the leadership of Emanuel Phil- lips and Ed Klingler, the Tribal Council made many advances. A new committee was added - the Escort Committee. The Student Court, a functional, active body, com rised of the var- ious committee heads, was organized. Newlliy designed pins, badges and membership cards - a different one for each commit- tee - were issued. Another honor was given to Seneca when Emanuel Phillips was elected to the presidency of the newly formed Inter-High School Student Council. Early in the first term, our class held its initial meetings. The officers elected were: Bob Yerke, president, Richard Abend- schein, vice-president, Richard Bantle, secretary, and Joseph Ciambra, treasurer. These boys, under the guidance of Mr. Thomas Glass, class sponsor, really did a fine iob as the class leaders, and deserve commendation. Everyone agreed that the year went by too quickly, and it seemed that in no time the Prom was upon us. Following that night of nights, the final exams and graduation brought the year to a swift close. The sun set on one great day, only to rise on another. Al Wilczewski, playing for the New York Yankees, will win the American League batting crown with an average of .666. The United States government, of which Bob Yerke will be the President, will grant the following Seneca students a permit to build a :pace ship to fly to Mars: James O'Connor, Jack Meegan, an Richard Orr. They will hire as crew members, Fred Gross, chief pilot, John Skalski, navigator, James Ball, radar operator, and Lawrence Stapleton, chef. Charles Otto and Dick Teeft will become science teachers at Seneca. Seneca 's school custodian and chief engineer will be Daniel Bingel and Gerald Van Wie, respectively. John Red Regan, as head coach of Notre Dame, will have as his assistants, Ed Murray, Raymond Holland, and Richard Vitovitch. Bob Dudek will be working asascout for the Cleveland Browns. Mr. May's iob will be taken over by Bob Holcomb.
