The Dollar Campaign was a huge success! It’s not too late to send in a contribution!

With over 18,000 active names in our data base, we asked for a donation of at least $1.00 from everyone who receives the newsletter. We col-lected over $19,000, which was a record high! Of course, not everyone turned in $1.00, but many of you sent in more, which will continue to help us print our Spring Newsletter. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in the fund raiser! Elaine Schultz Staley 6/68

Former Tom L. Johnson Elementary, 13111 Crossburn

Ralph Pfingsten, JMH Class of 1958 and Fac-ulty, has been proudly selling his current book, The History of John Marshall High School, Cleveland, Ohio. This comprehensive, informative text has 240 pages with over 600 pictures. It includes articles on faculty, music, drama, sports and, of course, the stu-dents. From 1899 into the 2000’s, Ralph has captured an important part of our lives and, once again, do-nated all the proceeds from the book sales to the En-dowment Fund. We thank him for his generosity. Many of you have written in to express your ap-preciation of the fine work this book entails. Infor-mation about purchasing the book is on page 20 of this newsletter. All proceeds from the sale of this book and From Rockport to Westpark benefit the endowment fund, which awards scholarships to JMH students. In a letter written by Jean D. Mosier (formerly Barbara J. Hahn, 1/67), it was pointed out that her ele-mentary school, Tom L. Johnson, located at 13111 Crossburn Avenue off West 130th was not mentioned. The school was dedicated May 12, 1955 and started as K-3rd grade but eventually included 4th grade. Chil-dren then attended Longmead Elementary School to finish their primary education. Pictured here, the build-ing is currently being used as a facility for a Community Center. Read about other elementary and junior high schools in the John Marshall district by purchasing the book.

The JMH Hall of Fame Committee, along with the JMH Alumni Association will be commemorating the Fifty Year Anniversary of the 1959 and 1960’s Sports Teams, including the City Football Championships. A tentative date for the celebration is Friday, May 1, 2009. The committee is working on finalizing the de-tails for the large celebration party. Those of you that played sports or attended JMH in the late 50’s and early 60’s will want to attend this event. This invitation includes all Alumnus of JMH, along with the faculty and staff, both current and past. Our City Championship story was a tremendous accomplishment for a school known more for its academic achievements, than for being a football powerhouse. This was a marvelous time for ALL JMH sports, as we had many other great teams during this period. We also had one of the best Marching Bands in the state. It is fitting that we honor all of these people once again. Please contact the Alumni Association if you were a member of any of the 1959 or 1960 teams or use the check off box on page 23 of the newsletter, to receive further information. We would love to have you share your memories and pictures. Please plan to attend this gala event. Our website: www.jmhalumni.com Contact: Andy Mathews at 440-572-7685
