This story goes with the above 2
pictures and this story is Lois's memory of it. The Boys Gym was the site of the Y-Teen "Aloha
Dance on April 22, 1960. My favorite teacher was Larry Chernauskas
(I got straight A's in his Algebra III and Algebra IV classes).
When I arrived at the dance, I told Mr. Chernauskas, who was a chaperone
that evening, that I planned on asking him to dance when a "Ladies
Choice" was announced. He said he never danced, and I even
saw him turn down a few other girls who asked him to dance. When
the next "Ladies Choice" dance was announced, there was a tap
on my shoulder, and Mr. Chernauskas said, "How about that
dance?" The song playing was "Theme from a Summer
Place" and I was in absolute heaven. It is my favorite high
school memory.

Every spring, West Tech was host to the
largest outdoor high school track meet in Cleveland, The West Tech
Relays. WTH girls sold tickets to the Relays, and the top five
ticket sellers presented trophies & ribbons to the winning
athletes. Tenth graders Joy & Lois were among those who sold
tickets to the 23rd Annual West Tech Relays, which were held May 2,
1958.
