llgue a fond farewell on her
soJourn to California, we have
sentimental desire to remin.
see a little.
Would you call our entrance
upon the scene "the return of
the native" or a case of the bad
penny turning up again. At any
rate, we are here and are glad
to be and hope you feel likewise.
We have fond memories of
growing up in this pleasant
community and are proud that
Nom and Dad (Mr. and Mrs.
Ben Hersh) still reside in the
old homestead on Eddy rd.
OF course, our deepest i'm
pressions are from the school
years, and as we sit at the type
writer images are formed and
what we know happened from
Is to 20 years ago seemed to
have occurred only yesterday.
Starting off with our first
taste of school at Rozelle, we
remember the first principal,
Miss Della Freeborn who has
an elm tree planted in her hon.
or on the school grounds.
Then there was our favorite
teacher, Mrs. Laura j. Averill,
although now retired still
proves a very capable substitute
when needed. And, who could
forget Joe Bentler, the custo-
dian, who not only kept the
furnaces at an even temper
ature but us boys as we'll.
At VIII. Kirk Junior High,
we continued the pleasant task
of acquainting ourselvec with
people who will leave lasting
Impressions on us.
The only trouble is that we
really do not realize the con-
tributions they have made to
our lives except at times like
this.
At Kirk, there were three
lovely ladies who did more
than any others to start us on
our journalistic endeavo
Mary Richardson and Jean
Scott have passed away-but
now or never will their men,
cries. These two along with
Agnes Curry were social study
teachers who aroused our in I
terest in writing about people,
places and things.
Also at Kirk was William
Galbrerach who as football
coach spurred us on to journal
ism by his opinion of our ath-
letic ability.
At Shaw, one Roy H. Wise
cup did likewise because Of his
thoughts concerning us and the
manly art of baseball.
We could go on and on, but
as space permits let's remember
others who led us through our
youth.
There were those associated
with Boy Scout Troop 48 such
as ex-policeman John Fenwick i
and Herbert E. Treadwell, men =
who spend many hours guiding '
US to richer life. a
Then there were the sons, 7
Melvin Fenwick and Kenny
Treadwell who were our as E
sociates in mischief and living. n
AS we look back at those we 1
knew, we look with equal joy d
to those we have met and are Il
going to meet. Our first ac- W
luaintance was with members N
of the East Cleveland Business G,
mems Association. Il
Thanks to Carl Tomcik, we
had dinner recently with the is
committeeman and women who n
directed the successful COM G,
picnic. C
We enjoyed ourselves so o,
much, we will forgive Don Fish
er for not remembering the ri
name of our dearly beloved II
However, we can't b,
say we are ready to forgive s
Detective Capt. Patrick O'Mal- d
ley, at least not until we catch p
our second wind.
