Yearbooks for Mentor are hostages By LARRY LUPAS Staff Reporter MENTOR - Mentor High School’s yearbooks are being held hostage, innocent victims of a Pennsylvania trucking company’s bankruptcy and labor dispute. The yearbooks are stu k on a trailer in a West Middlesex, Pa., layover lot. The chances of the 1,250 books getting to Mentor High School before the last day of school Thur- sday are unknown. “It’s hard to say which way it will break now. We’re really in a Catch- 22,” said Jack Walker, faculty ad- visor to the yearbook staff. “It’s just crazy,” said Debbie Bailee, yearbook editor. “We worked so hard just so we’d get the yearbooks on time, but it didn’t do any good. We keep looking at the boxes that corrje in with the food to see if they’re the yearbooks.” The books were stranded on the last leg of trip from the printer because the trucking company, Interstate Trucking, filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 13, and the Teamsters Union walked out over back pay. The hostage crisis has attracted the attention of Cong. Dennis Eckart, D-ll, who called Teamster Union President Jackie Presser. But even their combined clout hasn’t been able to solve the problem in time for Mentor seniors to write those never-changing salutations in each other’s yearbooks. “The teamsters have pledged their full cooperation to get the yearbooks back,” said Greg Allen, advisor of the yearbook staff along with Walker. But that may not be enough. In- terstate Trucking is reluctant to let non-employees onto their property to unload the books because of in- surance liability, said Walker. And even if a group of people were to travel to West Middlesex, about 40 miles east of Youngstown near the Pennsylvania State line, the books are loaded in the front of the trailer with a full cargo load blocking it and no forklifts at the site, “It looks like everything is going to be shut down from now until Tuesday with the holiday,” said Walker. “No one believes us when we tell them what’s happening,” added assistant editor Tulika Sinha. “They think we're keeping them, or the principal will hand them out after school’s out because she doesn’t want the signatures to disrupt classes, but that’s not the case.” Allen has one copy of the $16 book for the 2,600 students at the school. 7

The excellence in Mentor sports is a 60 year Tradition. Back in 1925, Mentor's first Football Team soared their way to a 6-0 record. At this time there wasn't an athletic league, so Mentor was named Lake County Champs. Mentor hasn't always been the Cardinals either; their nicknames, in chronological order, were Scarlet and Grey, Redskins, Redbirds, Cardinals, and today's Fighting Cardinals. Finally, in 1930. Mentor joined a sports league called the Lake County League. Later leagues were: Lake County League, Western Reserve League, Lake Shore League, Northeast Conference League, Freeway Conference, and finally, in 1968, Mentor joined the Greater Cleveland Conference League. In the year of 1930 the football field was built and named “Memorial Field” in honor of all Mentor Youth who served in the Armed Forces during World War I. On October 19th of that same year the Mentor Dad's Club (now known as Mentor Boosters) installed lights and bleachers to seat 1000 screaming Mentor Fans. The types of sports offered today were not always available to Mentor Students. For example, the girls never had varsity sports until 1975-76. Instead they had the Girls Athletic Association, or G.A.A., where interested girls would play various sports. The girls did have a Field Hockey team, but didn't belong to a league. The following are dates to give you an idea when your favorite Varsity sport was instituted at Mentor: Football - began in 1925, and the Football Team has 17 league championships under their belt; Basketball - began in 1925.
