Valedictory By Mary Loc\hart

And they shall grow and fill the air with humming noises, And power shall course through veins of steel Until each animate machine is the fulfillment Of the thinker's plan, the artist's dream. Needle towers shall rise and pierce the distances To make the earth and sky our common ground. And we shall rise with each steel girder That defies the earth, until there's nothing More to reach for, and everything to look upon. We shall cast our lives in steel, Make it a symbol of the knowledge That can make a hope reality and a plan perfection. June '40 exodus

ROBERT H. OWENS "Forty years of educational leadership lie behind the class of June, 1940, at East High School. In all these years your school has proved faithful to its obligations to boys and girls. May your experiences here assist you in your efforts to fulfill your own life obligations." F. L.

NEUMAN

Ben Neuman, labeled the "bear on de­ fense" by his team mates and the "little man who wasn't there" by opposing blockers, was the sparkplug of the East High line in 1939. As center, he had the job of backing up the line, and he carried out his assignment well as he cracked up play after play that got be­ yond the first line of defense. For this, Ben Neuman was named All-Scholastic second team center by the coaches of the Senate teams. The crowning feature of Ben's career came at the end of the 1940 season when he was elected honorary captain by his team mates. In his senior year, Ben went out for baseball and started the 1940 season at third base. He also played basketball for a short while.

*•§ ' BITONTI In the fall of 1937 when Coach Fleish­ man called for basketball candidates, there appeared a lithe, dark-skinned soph­ omore. This fellow had few hopes, but plenty of ability, and before the season was over he had won a starting berth on the East High basketball team. Thus started the high school career of Sam Bitonti, a career which carried him over a period of three years of brilliant sparkling floorwork, sharp-shooting and defensive tactics. In nearly every game it was his special duty to take the oppos­ ing team's high scorer and restrict his scoring activities for the evening. How­ ever, in his last year Sam became a star for the offense and led the team in total scoring for the season. Besides engaging in basketball, Sam also played first base for the Bomber's baseball team, but it was his work in basketball that made him outstanding. june exodus

DROBNIC The most versatile athlete of the class of 1940 was, without a doubt, Victor Drobnic. His field of endeavor included football, baseball, and track. As a football player, Vic was East High's leading ground gainer in 1939, besides being one of the most-feared run­ ners in the Eastern Senate league. His fine passing also helped East High to win several games that season. However, Vic's first love was baseball; for three years he was the regular center fielder. His amazing speed, coupled with his ability to judge fly balls well, enabled him to cover the outfield like a blanket, and his knack of getting base hits quite often earned him the third position in the : -0 batting lineup.

FURPAHS One of the best distance men in Greater Cleveland in the year 1940. That is what best describes Walter Furpahs, a stellar miler and half miler. Walter did not go out for track in the tenth grade because he was working, but he reported for practice in his junior year, and in a short time he was a can­ didate for a starting position on the East high track team. In the eleventh grade Walter ran on relay teams at Mansfield and at the dis­ trict meet, but it wasn't until the Arena meet that following year that he won any individual honors. His team mates are still grateful for the great mile he ran at the Mansfield Relays of 1940. He came from behind to win victory and wrist watches for the medley relay team. In addition to his regular track work, Walter ran on the cross-country team. e^QduS june '40
