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

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,
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!
Exchange Students
JMH has had several exchange students over the past few years.

At the JMH Senior Awards assembly last June, scholarships from
the Alumni Association were awarded to the following four sen-
iors:

SROKA SCHOLARSHIP

ship to a JMH student. The Sroka Schol-
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!

ade! Please drop us a line—we’d love
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.)

various consulting projects,. One includ-

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

Joe and Rosemarie Deluca, Parents,
Parma Hts., OH, write they are the proud
parents of 8 JMH graduates! They were
blessed with the privilege to enjoy 15
years of the JMHS culture, traditions,
teachers and the education provided by
the staff. The extracurricular events
allowed him time, while waiting for his
children to finish a night class or meet-
ing, to feel the driving spirit in the
school from the 30’s through the 90’s
and onward. The newsletters made him
want to donate and write a letter to the
alumni. Both Joe and his wife graduated
from John Adams in 1952 and he is the
President of the John Adams Alumni
Men’s club. What a great organization
the JMHS Alumni Association is, God
Bless and keep it strong! The Deluca’s
are so blessed to have had this John Mar-
shall experience.

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.

team, communicating with the school, taking weekly photos of the
new building completion, liaison with the district; runs the AA!

arship selection and Hall of Fame activities

makes bank deposits, checks post office weekly, (swamped in
April- June!), participates with Hall of Fame selection, and Reun-
ion Handbook updating

database records by searching for new addresses when returns
come in, Reunion Handbook updating

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

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

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.
You can always email us at [email protected] or call us at
(440) 356-0249. We want to hear from you!
