Spring 2015

From the President’s

Desk…..

Many of your current JMH Alumni

Association Trustees have volunteered

on the committee between ten and

twenty years or more. Every year we

pride ourselves in publishing an annual

Newsletter for you, the Alumnae. Our

yearly newsletter is designed to keep

you informed of Class Reunions, class-

mate updates, events and death notices.

This past year, the Scholarship Endow-

ment fund had a good year due to the

stock market returns, brick sales and

some very generous donations from

alumni directed to the students. How-

ever, we noticed that the donations

toward our Operating Fund decreased

drastically, making it the lowest ever

in the past 10 years. The actual num-

ber of donors was less than 1.5% of the

18,000 receiving newsletters.

We have never charged for our publi-

cation or required a membership fee,

nor do we wish to do so. We are, how-

ever, counting on you to consider

sending in any donation to keep your

newsletter coming. Please take the

time to support your alumni associa-

tion! We depend on you!

Main classroom wing North-South parallel to 140th. Art rooms

occupy the north end (far right). Only a

few more things need to be completed on

the exterior—in this picture the Eagles will

be positioned around the center door, the

stair well will be completed, and stone

work along the north façade will be added.

Some of the original medallions are placed

between the first and second floor at the

south end of the building. Some medal-

lions also have been installed in the Alum-

ni Hall by the cafetorium and gym.

Alumni Plaza will be on the Viola side of

the building—see page 16.

The building ...

The new John Marshall High building is

still on schedule and will be open in Au-

gust 2015. Ninety to one-hundred con-

struction workers are in the home stretch

each day putting the finishing touches on

the building. Many of the rooms have

been painted and the lights installed.

Currently wall mounted cabinets are

being installed.

Educational trends and programs have

changed throughout the district in the

past few years. Everyone has wondered

what the new JMH will hold for our stu-

dents. Currently the plan is for the school

to consist of three small schools. There

will be a school of Information Technol-

ogy, a school of

Business and

Civic Leader-

ship and a

School of Engi-

neering. Each

school will

have its own

principal. It

also appears at

this time that

the ninth grade

will return to

the high

school, instead

of being at

Shuler as the

ninth grade

academy. The transition to the ‘schools’

will be gradual, as the current juniors

and seniors will still attend JMH, in the

existing comprehensive program. Even-

tually all students will be enrolled in one

of the three school programs, thus mak-

ing JMH another school of choice within

the district.

The football field has been used as a

parking lot for the construction workers

for the last two years. Once all construc-

tion is done, the field will at least be

returned to its preexisting condition, but

the 2015 home football games will still

be played at Rhodes field. There may be

a possibility of new stand construction,

but naturally funding has to be preap-

proved.

The cafetorium—currently being used for assembly of cabinets and

other items that need to be placed in the building.

Inside this issue:

Welcome to Mrs. Tiffiany James, Principal

Mr. Byron Hopkins, principal for the

2013-2014, decided to take a posi-

tion in the Akron City Schools. Our

loss, their gain….

However, our

gain is just as

impressive. Mrs.

Tiffiany James

was named to

head the 2014-

2015 school

year. She is no

stranger to JMH, as she was the

9th/10th grade Unit Principal last

year.

Mrs. James grew up in Cleveland

Hts., primarily attending Cleveland

Hts. High but then graduating from

Solon High School. She attended

Ohio University, earning a Bache-

lor’s degree in Biology / Pre Med

Naturally, as Principal, her main

goals mirror the district’s—

improving the graduation and attend-

ance rate. She aims to bring JMH

back to “what it was”! Much focus is

on the school culture—bringing in

new ideas and implementing differen-

tiated instruction.

Hopefully, she will be able to contin-

ue as a Principal at the new JMH.

There will be three principals, in

charge of the 3 schools—but there

needs to be some continuity with the

transition. We’re hoping she will be

part of the plan.

She is married with two children of

her own and two ‘inherited’ from her

second marriage—their ages are 15,

16, 17 and 22!

Welcome to the family!

She also attended Cleveland State

University earning a second BS in

Secondary Education with a concen-

tration in Science. Her education con-

tinued at the University of Phoenix,

earning a Masters in Curriculum &

Development and then a second Mas-

ters from Ashland in Administration

Education. In her ‘spare’ time she is

working on her Doctorate from the

University of Phoenix—with a Con-

centration in Technology Integration.

She began her teaching career in

1998 at East Tech and for five years

taught Physical Science, Biology,

Chemistry, and AP Chemistry. From

2003-2013 she worked in the Twins-

burg schools, same focus on Biology,

Chemistry, AP Chemistry, and

Chemistry in the Community. Then

last year she became a ‘Lawyer’.

The Mosaic, the one that was created in the early 2000s at the

end of the center hall, is hopefully going to be recreated in the

new building. If you worked on it originally or you might be

available to recreate it—please let us know ASAP!

Alumni in the News

Stanley Drayton, 6/89, just accepted a position as the running

backs coach with the Chicago Bears. Stanley spent the last 4

ed Alleghany College and was 3 time All American running

back. He had been an assistant coach under Meyer in Florida and

Community Partners

West Park Historical Society www.WestParkHistory.org

The JMHAA and the WPHS are intertwined in so many ways:

Trustees from JMH serve/have served on their board; Ralph

Pfingsten, 6/58 & FAC, has coordinated activities and books

with both organizations, and we have paired up on some commu-

nity events.

The unveiling of the Ohio Historical Marker, commemorating

Puritas Springs Park, is tentatively scheduled for August 30,

2015. Details of the exact time and location will be on their

webpage.

Last summer, the Alumni Association shared a tent at Fairview

Park’s Summerfest. We may return this year—it is scheduled for

July, but check our webpage for details!

A Familiar Face

While we usually don’t focus on any ‘one’ alumnae's passing,

this one is special—as many will remember him for his many

years of being seen about the West Park neighborhood.

His name was Robert Jankulov, a 6/69 graduate, but we all

knew him as ‘Popcorn’. Sadly, he passed away last March 29.

Excerpts from his obit: “A popular and unique individual, Pop-

corn was a familiar sight for over 30 years in Cleveland's West

Park area. An avid bike rider, Robert was often seen riding his

bike throughout the far west side neighborhoods. Robert was so

well known for his bike riding, that the school newspaper fea-

tured him in an article entitled "Bike traveling senior peddles

many a mile." A Cleveland policeman was quoted as saying "We

see that kid on his bike everywhere." Since graduation, he

worked for the Cleveland Water Department until early retire-

ment in 1992 due to many health issues. Even in retirement, he

continued riding his

colorful bike. He later

switched to a four

wheel motorized cart

and regularly traveled

around Lorain & W.

140th St. In 2002,

when asked about his

future plans, his re-

sponse was always the

same "Keep Going!"

Tentative Alumni Open House

& Volunteers Needed

Once the dust settles and students are in the new

building, we hope to coordinate an Open House/

Dedication Program with the School District for a

Saturday in September 2015. At newsletter press

time, everything is still up in the air. Once we have a

confirmed date, it will be posted on our web page,

announced to the Facebook Alumni group, added on

our voice mail, and published in the Sun News. We

hope to have that date selected and announced by

July 1st, so please be sure to check back.

If you can spare an hour or two and volunteer to help

us out that day, please let us know. We will have

students as tour guides—after all—it is now their

home to share! Call the hotline 440-356-0249 or

email [email protected].


2013 Scholarship Recipients

News From the School!

Many personnel changes!

Retirees from the 2013-2014 school year were Gini (Sinclair)

Kolar, English, (also 6/72 grad), Dan McMillan, CISCO, (also

6/71 grad), and Lorie Hein, Phys Ed. and two more!. This school

year, 2014-2015, (as of press time) JMH will lose two long time

faculty members - Bob Fast (also JMH 6/78 grad) Math/Union

Chair, and Michelle Franklin, English/Sr. Advisor/Radio Room.

At this time, we don’t know which of the remaining staff will be

at the new building—usually everyone needs to reapply for a

position at a school with new programs. With 3 ‘programs’ be-

ing proposed, who knows? There will be some continuity—as the

juniors and seniors will still participate in a ‘comprehensive’

program until their graduation.

Attendance Office Needs Volunteers The current JMH attendance officer supervises 5 schools

and would like some assistance in contacting students/

families to promote their attendance at school. JMH has a

fairly good attendance rate, but, with reminders to those

few, would hope to increase their time on task in order to

pass tests and graduate on time. As they say—’It takes a

village…’ There would be a script to follow—ie. if an

alumnus is calling to say — ‘We care, we want you to suc-

ceed, and have the opportunities we had. Please be sure to

attend school daily, get assistance with OGT test prep, and

never be afraid to ask for help.’ it would add a personal

touch and could make a difference! If you can assist, con-

tact Joan Gamble Office of Attendance, 216-650-5936,

[email protected]

Sports Update!

The 2014 Co-Ed Soccer team went undefeated during the regular

season before losing to John Hay in the Championship game.

Merima Veljak, in 3 seasons, scored 20 goals and won the All-

Star Senate Award. The 2014 Co-Ed Golf team were winners

as well—winning the City Championship. And of course, the

Girl’s Swim Team won the Senate Championship for the 18th

straight year. The girl’s Volleyball and Tennis teams were also

city champions this year too! Way to go teams!

SROKA SCHOLARSHIP

arship Award Is presented to a Future

Teacher. The award goes to a student

who has demonstrated leadership, charac-

ter, service and outstanding scholarship.

This year’s recipient was Alysda Gates.

Congratulations!

More Good News! The endowment fund did well in the marketplace this year. We

were able to increase the scholarships for the 2015 grads, offer-

ing five $2,000 scholarships renewable for a second year.

As you can see your donations to the endowment fund, brick

purchases, and paver purchases are helping our students further

their education. Please donate and help us, help them!

to hear from you—share a memory of

a day at JMH!

1940s John R. Coash 1/40, Bakersfield, CA,

began attending John Marshall the year

it opened. There were not enough HS

students to fill it at first, so they also

took in junior HS students. Thus, he

entered in 7th grade Jr. High and attended

for six years. He doubts if there are

many, if any, of his class left, as he just

turned 90. (Editor’s Note – as of 1/2014,

of 80 names for the 1/40 class, you are

not alone – there are 13 others, but there

are 19 lost – can’t confirm their status,

and the others have gone on to a better

place.)

live in a retirement community in NC.

After many fantastic world travels,

they’re slowing down a bit. Their “big

trip” last year was a Chesapeake Bay

cruise for a week and another week driv-

ing down the Atlantic coast and home.

Their visits with their three children,7

grandkids and 1+ greatgrand(s) are al-

ways highlights. On the last school day

of the old JMH a group from the class of

1953 toured the building and sang the

Alma Mater to the staff. We hope to see

the new John Marshall and perhaps see

you there!

writes to tell us it seems like yesterday

taking a trip to visit with Mr. Ernest T

Rose to discuss his future. He enjoys

retirement in Simpsonville along with

two other grads that live in the area. He

is retired from Furman University and

various consulting projects,. One includ-

ed coordinating food service programs

for colleges, hospitals and industrial ac-

counts. He had the opportunity to con-

sult for the NFL and former USFL teams

learning a new vocabulary from the late

V. Lombardi that was much different

from what Miss Kelly taught. Lastly, he

coached college ice hockey for 3 years,

and was fortunate to have chaired the

Miss West Virginia-Miss America Pag-

eant. His wife is deceased and they

raised 5 youngsters and are proud to say

they are all professionals. Thanks to

Jim Violi and Harry Baily who keep

him in the loop of JMH happenings.

Would love to hear from others!

?

Are you a snowbird?

Please let us know—newsletters

don’t always get forwarded—so if

we know the dates you are away

from your main address—we can

send the news directly there.

Have an email address? We can

send you a .pdf copy after the mail-

ing and prevent lost or delayed

newsletters and save postage too!

The JMHAA &

Technology Today We’ve had our webpage www.jmhalumni.com for several years, but recent-

ly updated it and there are some changes.

We have had/still have an email address to contact us direct—

[email protected] There are other addresses to reach us with specifics -

as for reunions and direct to trustees (a trustee’s first name with the

@jmhalumni.com extension added.), but the info address will get the message

forwarded to the correct department.

We no longer have a message board—it didn’t allow US a quick response to

you if you had a question, as we never got a notice from the webpage—and to

be honest—we just didn’t monitor it the way it should have been—life got in

the way.

BUT we DO have a Facebook connection. It is much easier to access and

results in quicker responses from us AND from other grads’ inquiries. There

is one main group (over 3100 and growing) at

John Marshall High School Alumni Cleveland, Ohio

https://www.facebook.com/groups/34559262277/ This is the one we

consider the ‘Official JMH Alumni Association’ as we monitor it regularly.

We try to keep topics STRICTLY JMH related and don’t allow advertising,

political promotion, or inappropriate heated discussions (not censored, just

not allowing for personal attacks). There are other JMH Alumni pages out

there, some belong to our John Marshall, others have ties to the other 7 John

Marshall High Schools throughout the country. Many classes have set up

group pages as well—so be sure to search for your class year and JMH or ask

within the main group.

Our Merchandise Link—is now up and running! Check out our JMH E-

Store or type in http://www.ebay.com/usr/johnmarshallalumni . We are

able to accept Pay Pal / Credit Card payments! Merchandise ordering should

be a breeze with an improved response time. Be sure to check it out! We are

also trying to make it donation acceptable as well.

The unique aspect of our organization is that WE DO NOT CHARGE any

standard membership fee to belong to our organization or to have access to a

web page, WE OPERATE ON DONATIONS ONLY.

However there is one page out there that is not US and there are many of

OUR ALUMNI who have signed up for that page, hopefully as a temporary

member and not as a ‘paying member’.

BELOW ADDRESS IS NOT YOUR ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

http://johnmarshallhighschool.net/cleveland-oh/

This website has been created for ALL schools in the ENTIRE country. They

list the vital statistics for each city, building, nickname, colors; promote mer-

chandise (which is very generic) and may create yearbooks (if they have had

access to a copy), etc. There is a yearly membership fee or lifetime fee. This

company does NOT represent the JMH Alumni Association NOR YOUR

JMHS so if you might have an issue with THEM, we cannot address it.

Please be sure you are dealing with the correct JMH Alumni Association!

Marshall High School’s Web Page

For the past 15 years or so, JMH has

had a web page, some times on,

some times off. Well, it’s back on

again, attached to the Cleveland

Metropolitan Schools web site:

http://

www.clevelandmetroschools.org/

jmhs

It does include a calendar of events,

some reports of past events, and

some useful information, however, it

is not updated as it should be either.

We’re hoping we can convince the

school/district to make it current and

accurate so that alumni interested in

attending/participating/supporting

can do so on a regular basis.

IMA

Mascot

Circa

1995 Anyone know

where it is?

Who was this?

Current Trustees of the JMHAA never

really knew that this existed! Does

someone have this buried away some

where? Who wore this at the games?

We would like some answers!!

‘OUR’ John Marshall is gone, but the new JMHS will incorporate several of its architectural elements. A new

feature, the Alumni Plaza, will be located on the Viola St. side, near the student entrance. Several original

granite steps will provide three rows of seating, with rows of red brick pavers interspersed between them. You

can leave your mark and become a permanent part of the new school. This is a great opportunity to pay tribute

to a past JMHS graduate, a teacher, yourself, or your family. Red pavers will be deeply engraved with your

name and class year, with lettering painted black. Funds raised by the sale will go to the John Marshall Endow-

ment fund, which is exclusively used for JMHS student scholarships.

Special Thank You to the Volunteers

While all Trustees put in time to attend monthly meetings, gener-

ate reports in their areas of responsibility/office, and participate in

Alumni sponsored events, (and are also usually involved with their

own class reunion events), many of us work for the Alumni Asso-

ciation on a Weekly, if not DAILY basis. If it were not for their

dedication and multi-tasking, much of what you see yearly would

not be possible. There are others who assist regularly below.

Ken Tischler—mailing out merchandise, meeting with the design

team, communicating with the school, taking weekly photos of the

new building completion, liaison with the district; runs the AA!

Joyce Murphy—coordinates scholarship selection and Hall of

Fame activities

arship selection and Hall of Fame activities

Elaine Staley—maintains database, mails out donation receipts,

makes bank deposits, checks post office weekly, (swamped in

April- June!), participates with Hall of Fame selection, and Reun-

ion Handbook updating

Darlene DiCato—handles brick and paver sale records, updates

database records by searching for new addresses when returns

come in, Reunion Handbook updating

Tom Thompson—web page redesign, maintenance, E-Store

Maria McKee—merchandise and brick sale pick up

Ray Vorell—merchandise sales, parade

Susan Kirst—contacts reunion committees requesting announce-

ments of a reunion and/or write-ups/photos after a reunion,

Deborah Fought—newsletter write ups

Andy Mathews—Former Trustee—yet—checks obits daily,

checks database for duplicates, collects current sports information,

military records, maintains Hall of Fame nominations, selection of

HOF nominees and preparation for HOF ceremonies, verifies class

lists with yearbooks, grad lists, database

Judy Gilson—communicates with school, scholarship presenter,

design team for new school, newsletter preparation and communi-

cation with printer/post office, etc., database research—finding

lost classmates for all years and updating records, prepare mailing

list from database, HOF program preparation, verifies class lists

with yearbooks, grad lists, database, Facebook—Coadmin

Lois (Plicta) Healan 6/65 Reunion Handbook Rewrite

And these individuals who act as part of the Hall of Fame selec-

tion and planning committee: Bob Vinyard, Bob Fast, Will Ke-

mer, Tom Barber, Carl Ludwig, Marijane Kubach, Larry Coy

(but looking for other former staff/faculty/alumni to join)

Are you a twin?

Do you know who the twins

were in your class?

Recently I came across my grandmother’s scrapbook. There

was a news clipping from probably about 1930—Almira school

had 8 sets of twins at that time. My father and uncle were in

that photo. So I asked on Facebook—how many twins can be

identified from the classes at JMH. Well, over 100 responses

were posted over the next few days, with only a few duplicates

being named. Yet I’m sure there are many more! There is one

set of triplets that has been identified. Are there more? Just

identical and fraternal sets—no ‘irish’ twins! I learned some-

thing new that day! Send in a note on your response form, iden-

tifying twins from your class or send to [email protected].

I’ll compile the list and we’ll post it on our web page! JG

JMH MERCHANDISE CD’s, T-shirts, hats, glassware—all are still available—

we just ran out of room! Check out all available items

at our E-store—now up and running on EBAY. You

can view & order online by credit car at

www.jmhalumni.com or mail your order to our PO

Box.

We NEED You!

Please Bring us Your Talents,

Suggestions, Ideas!

Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm, except

for July/August. They last 1-1.5 hours max at Bethany Lutheran Church on

Triskett. We are looking forward to seeing you at our JMH Alumni Asso-

ciation meetings.

Currently the Trustees consist of grads from 1957-1984. We aren’t getting

any younger and therefore we need younger alums to step up to continue

our organization. We would love to have representation from all DEC-

ADES! We want to represent ALL JMH GRADS! Your individual talents

and skills are needed to ensure that this current Alumni Association can

continue and remain the best in the district.

Many responsibilities can be brief within a year, but assistance is needed

throughout. Some responsibilities of the JMHAA can be performed by an

individual living in another state or city, especially if you have internet &

email access. Not only do we need a reunion committees assistance with

updating class records, but we are trying to compile a list of all grads who

have served in the military; research individuals for possible induction into

the Hall of Fame; clip news articles related to current JMH students and

yet research newspaper archives for any past articles—in order to create a

digital scrapbook! Some positions are filled, some have recently been va-

cated, and yet others may soon be retiring, so a back-up person or assistant

is a necessity. Please join us: [email protected], or (440) 356-0249

We asked for Memorabilia earlier—

but if you just can’t part with yours yet—

please help us out!

Scan a play, choir, or orchestra program, or

any other printed document, save it as a .pdf

and attach it to an email.

Send to [email protected] We are

trying to digitize those memories and any

help from YOU would truly be appreciated!

PLEASE REMEMBER,

we NEVER SHARE your information with anyone,

EXCEPT REUNION COMMITTEES when that time comes!

Please Help Us Update our Records! We strive to keep our database up-to-date so that we can provide addresses to

your reunion committees and keep the communication lines open with all alum-

ni. If you have friends or relatives who graduated from Marshall please and

they are not receiving our Newsletter, it’s likely that we don’t have their current

address. Please spend a few moments to let us know of a name change and/or

their location. One of the most difficult and time consuming tasks for any reun-

ion committee is trying to find missing classmates. Please let us know when

and where you move in order to keep our costs down—the Post Office charges

us FIRST CLASS RATES on returns and forwards for a limited time.
