CALENDAR OF EVENTS 1946-1947 SEPTEMBER 4 — School opened today, and it was great to get back. We renewed old acquain- tances and made new ones among teachers and pupils. 5 — We ' re in the routine already. Council representatives were elected in home- rooms this morning. G — This certainly is a busy week! The Bud- get Book assembly put across the pur- pose of the books, and we all made up our minds to save that $5.00 by any means. 12 — fust to prove that we ' re going lull steam, we had our first pep assembly today. Those cheerleaders really are terrific, to say nothing of the drum majorettes. 13 — We all came back to school this evening for the first all-school dance. To honor the football players, the gym was decor- ated with red and white banners bearing their names. Steve Pindor ' s band fur- nshed the music. This Friday the 13th left nothing to be sorry for. 20 — We had another pep assembly today, even better than the last. The pep com- mittee is doing a swell job of putting on original and entertaining shows. 23 — As club week started today, we all tried to figure out what clubs we could join without conflicting schedules. Some of us had impressive lists, but how long will we be able to carry out our good in- tentions. 26 — A Navy blimp flew low over the school today. Everyone on the east side of the building dashed to the windows to see it. 30 — This morning we had an assembly fea- turing Professor Quiz of the radio. About twenty contestants, suggested by the deans, were called up onto the stage. Each was asked to answer a preliminary question. This narrowed the field to six students, who battled it out until the win- ner was decided. Ralph Stephan won again, proving that he is tops in every- thing. OCTOBER 4 — A big pep rally this afternoon put us in the mood for tonight ' s game at Shaw. Despite the fact that it rained dismally most of the day, we all braved the ele- ments to see our team fight and win. After a brilliantly played game the boys went home victorious, and the backers went home happy. 7 — To celebrate our conquest of Shaw, we had a victory assembly this morning. After some cheers and a few words by the coaches, the captain of the team, Jim Weizer, presented Coach Breiten- stein with the football used in Friday ' s game . The coach very generously gave it to the school for the trophy case. 10 — In one of our most important assemblies, Colonel Kenneth Walker this morning spoke on the subject We Must Live To- gether or NOT Live . The colonel stated that the only field which hasn ' t made great advances is the field of human re- lations. Here ' s a thought for some of you Seniors who haven ' t yet decided on a career. 14 — The Community Fund campaign was off to a good start after an assembly in which the band and several speakers took part. 18 — We had one of the best rallies of the year this afternoon. The president of the Dads ' Club, as well as the president of the Alumni Association, spoke during the assembly. The annual game with our neighbors and rival, U. S., has al- ways been one to arouse a lot of en- thusiasm, but this year it ' s really true that We ' ve got the style, we ' ve got the pep. The Neetnac opened tonight for the first time this season. New lighting, a dance band, and refreshments made a very enjoyable evening. 24 — Tonight our only bonfire of the season was held. It was a very peppy affair, with everyone cheering wildly around a blazing fire. To end the evening right, an all-school dance was held immedi- ately afterwards in the girls ' gym. Oh, yes, all the pep was in preparation for the tussle with Willoughby on Saturday. 25 — A great day — no school! The teachers got away from it all at the annual N.E.O.T.A. meeting, so we had a whole free day. Doing what? Why, homework, naturally!!! 26 — Hamlet is coming to town and we Sen- iors are ready and waiting. In our as- sembly today Mr. Allen Ludden, per- sonal manager for Maurice Evans, told us a little about the production. We all decided that no matter what we ' d pre- viously decided, we wanted to see that play. He was a very convincing speaker. Good-looking too!

mfmwffitmvrtitmittti-r-rr iiiiniiiiiiiiiliiiilimiliiiii CALENDAR OF EVENTS 1946 - 1947 31 Happy Hallowe ' en! What a day for Shaker! After an exciting pep assembly we were all set for tonight ' s game with Heights at Shaw Stadium. We can ' t seem to evade the rain when we play at Shaw. Another downpour doused our clothes, but not our spirits. NOVEMBER 1 — We needed our beauty sleep after last night ' s game, and therefore school start- ed at 9:15 this morning. There was a big victory assembly, and everyone was happy the whole day. This evening the 10-B ' s held their class party. We couldn ' t go (strictly a 10-B affair), but they say it was a whopping big success. Con- gratulations, kids! Your spirit will be a great asset to Shaker. 4 — Many Seniors are looking sleepy these mornings. Upon being asked why their homework isn ' t done, they reply unani- mously, I went to see Hamlet last night . Well kids, Old Will finally came in handy. 8 — This afternoon we had our final football rally. We play Lakewood tomorrow on their home grounds, and we really need plenty of spirit. Not to be outdone by the 10-B ' s, the 10-A ' s held their class party tonight. Chalk up another success! 1 1 — Today was the beginning of horror week — Co-ops to you. But only the poor A classes suffered. Our time will come, and then they can laugh. 15 — The Seniors are all looking extra nice these days. The reason? Sittings for the Gristmill pictures have begun. 22 — The Moonbeam Bounce, an all-school dance sponsored by the 11-A ' s was held tonight. The gym was decorated to look like a planetarium, and all present en- joyed the affair. In fact, many couples looked moonstruck. 27 — Are you aware of The Importance of Be- ing Earnest? Well, you certainly should be after tonight ' s presentation by the Senior class. The Play was a huge suc- cess and the whole audience was kept laughing. Tonight we played our first basketball game, at Euclid Central. Af- ter the play and the game, everyone (es- pecially the Alumni) headed for the Can- teen to meet the gang, dance, and eat. The Neetnac overflowed with enthusi- ast and happy crowds. 29 — We ' re all stuffed with turkey, and won- dering how many more fowl sand- wiches it is possible for one human to consume. What did we do on our day off? Well, those who could get out of bed went downtown to do their Christ- mas shopping. We haven ' t had snow yet, but it ' s tradition to start Christmas shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. DECEMBER 1 — December started out right with the first snowfall of the winter. 5 — Club pictures were taken for the Grist- mill today, much to the distraction of the teachers and the pleasure of pupils. 13 — This afternoon the band gave an as- sembly featuring Rhapsody in Blue. 16 — The movie Tale of Two Cities was shown to the whole school this morning. It helped the Sophomores in their studies, and brought back memories to the Jun- iors and Seniors, who had read Dickens ' s novel in 10th grade. 20 — The choir gave its annual Christmas pro- gram today. The beautiful music, and the snow falling outside put us all in a holiday mood as we left for Christmas vacation. 21 — To start vacation really right, the 11 -A class gave a combined Junior Prom — Alumni Dance. The decorations, big white roly-poly snowmen, and entertain- ment featuring Santa Claus reminded all that Christmas was not far off. 25— M ERRY CHRISTMAS!! JANUARY 6 — We came back to school today after a wonderful two week ' s vacation, and set to work to learn all we could before ex- ams roll around. 10 — The 12- A Recognition Assembly was given this afternoon. It made us all wish we were in those seats ' Oenter Front . 16 — The 12-A ' s celebrated tonight with a combined dinner and dance at the Tu- dors Arms Hotel. 17 — Today was the last day of the semester. The 10-B ' s got their first glimpse of the school when they met to hear about the Budget Book, the Canteen, etc. 20 — Second semester opened today. 22 — At commencement tonight, smiles and tears combined as the Seniors said Good-Bye to the school. 16 BBB MU »I I I WM I I |IW W IW I I | I I,H IW I 1I||II ■J I | I .II.I IW |III — - 7.m
