Janice, Roosevelt H.S. 1954: Frank Czapla All Star Athlete McKinley H.S.

The following is information taken from a scrapbook I bought on eBay a year or more ago. There are no photos but many names. The scrapbook is called School Daze Memory Book. It belonged to Janice, who graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1954. She was a cheerleader and was captain in 1954. Her boyfriend’s name was Frank Czapla who was an all star football player at McKinley High School. He was King of the Prom. Prom was on May 29, 1954, which was also Janice’s birthday. The Prom was held at the Biltmore Country Cub.

Some of her friend’s names: Joyce Reinhardt, Marianne Hack, Marvleen Yvonne Wallace, Phillip Sabin, Bill Lawson, Barbara Noll, Carol Sagan, Judy Snyder, Belva Schneider and Eugenia Henke.

She had an uncle named Bill, aunt named Sis, and 3 cousins: Marilyn, Jimmy and Jesse.

Her boyfriend Frank Czapla went on to have quite a sports career as I learned here. From his information I learned the schools were in Saint Louis. Frank did marry Janice. So, this should be an easy scrapbook to return.

Update: 29 May 2015: I thought with the surname Czapla this would be an easy item to return but it isn't. Janice Stratmann Czapla and Frank Czapla are both deceased. They had 2 children, a daughter Jill and a son Marc. Marc married a Jill so there are two Jill Czapla's. I have been in touch with several but none are her. I haven't heard back from any of the Marc Czapla's I contacted. So, I am looking for Jill Czapla Walsh and Marc Czapla, whose wife is also named Jill.
