CALENDAR FALL REVIEW September 5 was the Big Day for us Shakerites, who got up at seven instead of ten-thirty to drag ourselves to school. We discovered some changes had been made: Mr. Rupp was the new principal, Miss Macdonald, Mr. Sins?er, and Mr. Booth were newcomers to the faculty, and Mrs. Motto’s room, 209, had been rejuvenated with soft blue walls and flowery designs. There were long lines up in the deans’ offices and at the book store win¬ dow, and “students” asked each other, “O why did it ever have to end?’’ On the seventh, the Budget Book sale was launched at the first assem¬ bly, and by the end of the week about 855 books were sold. The next assembly brought Mr. Sam Pierce, who with tales of Prospero’s magic brought The Tempest to life. The first football game with South ended in a hilarious 20-12 victory and was celebrated by the “Rupp Rumpus.’’ The following week, on the twenty-first, Cuyahoga Falls was also beaten, this time 7-0. Our “fighting spirit” was heightened by a shiny, new marching band, the seven peppy cheerleaders, and even a goat as mascot. On the twenty-ninth, Elyria edged Shaker out by one point; that night the Neetnac opened with Jack Collins’s “Hotlicks.” After a month of the grind, we realized school was in full swing. Suntans were replaced by “autumn pallor,” and book-covers were dark with drawings and doodlings. On the fifth of October, under the lights, the Raiders held Shaw to a 6-6 tie in a thrilling game. “Know Your Club Week’’ began soon after with daily skits over the P. A. Our knowledge of distant places was broadened by two assemblies. Mr. Paul Moritz, on the ninth, impressed us with the young people’s struggle for education in China. Later, Mr. Sullivan C. Richardson through vivid pic¬ tures took us into the depths of South American jungles. By the nineteenth, our goal of $1,000 for the War Chest Drive was topped. In blue jeans and loud plaid shirts, we had a rip-roaring good time at the boisterous All-Shaker Barn Dance. The next day the Raiders tied their U. S. rivals in a 6-6 score, but a week later it was Shaker over Wil¬ loughby, 13-0, with Jerry Galvin, the star. We welcomed N. E. O. T. A. on the twenty-sixth as a mighty agreeable break in the 8:30-3:30 routine. The final flourish was given to October by “Breezy” Branson and his soph¬ omores, who completed their successful season on the thirtieth. We started November off in a roar of cheers; the order of the day was a whole hour pep assembly featuring the Heights prexy and introducing the Skyliners, Shaker’s own swing band. However, the following afternoon, the Heights Tigers were triumphant, 7-0. At the assembly on the fifth, Sim¬ eon “Nutchuck” Oliver treated us to his Diano-plaving and the story of his experiences in Alaska. Down at Chesshire’s the seniors were tangled up in appointment cards, sittings, and proofs for Gristmill pictures. The week-end of the sixteenth was memorable with the first swimming meet of the year, the All-Shaker Bonfire Rally, Dads’ Day, and the Lakewood game with the new souvenir programs. The hilarious rejoicing at the proud 33-12 score even carried over to Monday when we celebrated the Lakewood victory and the whole successful season with a spirited rally. In the girls’ swimming meet on the nineteenth, the seniors gained the title. More cultural entertainment was presented by the Kryl All-Girl Sym¬ phony concert for which we “sacrificed” attending afternoon classes on the twentieth. During the “restful and relaxing” Thanksgiving vacation occurred the Inter-Club Sing on the twentv-fourth. Two hundred and forty-five of us prolonged our vacation because of the flu, and the rest hopefully asked, “Won’t they close school?” The victorious opening basketball game with Euclid-Central was followed up by the 12A Dance and the election of the All-Shaker Queen, Beth Lewis, to complete November’s program. 30
