CALENDAR OF EVENTS 1946-1947 FEBRUARY 7 — Today we had our iirst pep assembly of this semester, to build up our spirit for tonight ' s basketball game aginst Shaw, and show those new 10-B ' s how we Shakerites really can yell. 16 — The A Cappella gave its annual concert in the auditorium this afternoon at 4:00 P.M. The program included such favor- ites as Holiday for Strings , Serenade from the Student Prince, and How Love- ly Is Thy Dwelling Place , by Brahms. Solos were sung by five of the outstand- ing singers in the choir. They were Joan Bernstein, Bob LeLievre, George Bissell, Pat Allen and Dorcas Ann Hutch- inson. The choir robes had been restyled with beautiful red revers and were worn today for the first time. 28 — Today was a big day for us all. In an assembly this afternoon, Mrs. Julia Schle- mon spoke very interestingly on Persia and Iran. In the evening the Dramatic Club presented its play, Stage Door . After the play, we all went to the Coun- cil sponsored dance in the gym. MARCH 7 — The band gave a concert in the large auditorium at 7:00 P. M. They appeared in their new uniforms for the first time. 10 — An assembly today featured a talk on conservation by Dr. Paul Sears, head of the Botony department at Oberlin Col- lege. 21 — The Lake Erie League choir festival was held in the Cleveland Heights High School auditorium. Our A Cappella un- der the direction of Reynold Ellis per- formed excellently in the evening pro- gram. 28 — Another all-school party started Spring vacation with a bang. APRIL 7 — School reopened today after a wonder- ful week of Spring vacation. We were all in a mood to get back and finish the year in good style. 9 — Today ' s assembly on Williamsburg, Va., was of particular interest to history stu- dents, but was enjoyed by all. 14 — Today started a two- weeks campaign which will be climaxed on the 25th by the annual Student Council election. May the best candidates win! 30 — The Choir gave its second annual Bob- by-Sox Revue. Those fellows and girls certainly know how to entertain. MAY 2 — Everyone got all decked out in their Spring finery for tonight ' s Junior Prom, one of the biggest and best dances of the year. 9 — The Senior play this evening was an oc- casion for gayety and happiness, es- pecially for us 12-A ' s. Afterwards we all went up to the canteen to dance and enjoy a hamburger, ending the evening in fine style. 18 — The choir and band gave a combined concert in the large auditorium this af- ternoon. It was a very pleasant way to spend a Spring Sunday afternoon. 21 — Today ' s assembly had a dual purpose — to honor 12-A class, and inaugurate the new Student Council officers. 29 — Another of those wonderful Asphalt Dances was held this evening. The idea originated last year and this has become one of the most enjoyable dances of the season because it is held right under the honest-to-goodness moon and stars with a live band. 30 — Memorial Day found us trying to remem- ber all we had learned the past semester in preparation for next week ' s finals. JUNE 4 — We 12-A ' s really had a wonderful time tonight at the Senior Prom. It is one thing we will remember fondly after we ' ve forgotten all our other High School activities and studies. 6 — Today many of us leave Shaker High looking forward to vacations or a sum- mer of work. As for the majority of ex- 12-A ' s, we will be entering college in the fall. None of us who have spent three years here, however, can ever forget the wonderful times we ' ve had at Shaker, both in class and out, and you can bo sure we ' ll be back in the years to come as Grateful Sons with love un- failing. 17

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.
