DEDICATIGN N recognition of his long and excellent years of service as a teacher, his fine record as Dean of Senior Boys, his un- tiring efforts in training boys for stage lighting work, his service as Treasurer of the Athletic Association, his Willingness to cooperate with students and faculty, and his unselfish and unassuming attitude, We, the Senior Class of 1938, consider it an honor to dedicate this Griszmill to Mr. Wayne L. French.

FOREWORD T has been twenty-five years since the beginning of the Shaker Heights School System. The years have brought mo- mentous developments and achievementsp our growth has been rapid: our educa- tional and community advantages have been increased many-fold. We have prepared the l938 Gristmill to serve as a review of our brief but im- portant careers in Shaker. We have at- tempted to record the events and activi- ties of the past three years. The entire student population of Shaker High School has been represented in some way. Nu- merous pictures of our friends and teach- ers serve to make this book one of fond memories and happy recollections. We hope that this Gristmill will serve as an unfailing bond between us and our high school days.

O the Seniors: The advent of the Gristmill reminds me that I must take leave of another class completing its secondary course of training and on its way to real adventure. It promises, indeed, to be a great adventure for there are many challenging problems in economics, in government, and in science which are awaiting your contributions. Certainly there has never been a period when leadership is more needed. I have reason to congratulate you as a class on your de- pendability and your achievements. We shall long remember the Radio Script Club and the new interest it has created. The class radio engineers have delighted us with new mechanical devices and kept our enthusiasm at a high pitch. The serious thought given by some members of this class to the present needs in education and their suggestions concerning these problems may contribute significantly to a new curriculum in our school. However, I do not think of you as a class. Your personalities have so definitely emerged that I shall recall the part you as in- dividuals have played in the life of the school and the contri- butions you have made. As the years go by, I shall expectantly await the news of your successes and be thinking of you proudly and affectionately. Sincerely, ROBERT B. PATIN
