EDDIE CHUPEK Many students, both of the Class of '51 and the Class of '50, are perhaps wondering what became of Eddie Chupek. Fortunately fate was with Eddie when he was injured in the Shade-Windber game, Septem- ber ll, 1949. With the same drive and deter- mination he had shown on the athletic field, Eddie pulled through. Hundreds of persons, both stu- dents and adults, crammed into Eddie's' small room at the Windber Hospital. He received cards from many more. A highlight in his period of convalescence was Eddie Chupek Night. An exhibition game was held in the Point Stadium. The game was broadcast by telephone to Eddie at his hospital bed. On Iune 29, 1950, Eddie left for New York. There he received the care of a specialist in physical therapy. There, also, he continued his education. His French teacher was once a private tutor for Paul Whiteman's daughter. On his return to Central City, Iune 3, 1950, Eddie was presented with a television set. Through the co-operation of the Central City School Board, Eddie was tutored by Mr. Danko in Problems of Democracy and was taught a course in Economic Geography which none of the other seniors received. Mrs. Firl assisted him with his literature and language classes. Eddie graduated with the Class of '51, He graduated with sixteen credits in the academic course. The Class of '51 is proud to acknowledge Eddie as one of its members. LOWELL LING Lowell Ling, who left us in Iuly, 1950, to join the Air Force for four years, formerly played in the Shade Band and was a varsity tackle on the football squad. A Pfc., he is now doing tele- type work. Interested in this type of work, he expects to go to a radio and radar school. Lowell received his basic training at Sheppard Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. After his basic train- ing, Lowell was given a furlough. While on his furlough, he came to visit his many friends and former teachers. Lowell was then shipped to Hawaii, where he is now stationed. Lowell would have graduated with the class of 1951. MIKE RADYK Mike Radyk, a member of the National Guard, was called to the service of his country on Octo- ber 6, 1950. Mike, who was a member of the graduating class, sang bass in the boys' quar- tette, played in band for three years, was captain of the boys' patrol, and was enrolled in the shop course. Receiving his basic training at the Munici- pal Airport in Iohnstown, he is now stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Although he is a cook in the army, he is receiving his training in engineering. Mike was home on furlough from March 4 to ll. Like all Shadites, Mike found his way back to Shade to renew his old friendships with both friends and teachers. The class of '51 extends to you the best of luck, Mike.
