E J Thias participated in Track and Field. He told us stories about how in the 1940's pole vaulters used wooden poles and landed in sand pits. My father even made his own pole. This is one of those stories that it really takes you back in time before fiberglass poles and air cushions were introduced to the sport of track and field. Posted in a photo of E J Thias pole vaulting and two of the numbers that he wore at Cleveland High School track and field events. The photo is labelled E J Thias 1940.

Boyhood Photos
Posting two boyhood photos of E J Thias. My grandmother sent my father into school early - which he never seemed to be too thrilled about. E J is in the second row, second person from the left.
