sense of self friends new cultures new heights expectations experience Athletics help students explore their own potential for success. They help set per- sonal and team goals for achievement as well as introducing students to new ways of looking at problems or challenges. Extra-cumculars bring students into con- tact with new and different ideas and people. They broaden horizons by chal- lenging the mind, creating wider circles of friends and teaching new skills. Personal relationships teach how to re- late to others; to put the needs of others be- fore our own. Combined, the above make it possible for Shaw students to grow and develop as mature, responsible adults. They have and will continue to broaden horizons. HORIZONS 3

BROADENING developing meeting new experiencing exploring exceeding The Shaw Developing a sense of self. Meeting new friends. Experiencing new cultures. Explor- ing new heights. Exceeding expectations. This is what happens to Shaw students each and every academic year. Through study, athletics, extracurricular, and per- sonal experiences. Shaw students broaden their horizons to prepare them for life. From the home and elementary school, is the first step in broadening horizons. From Kirk to Shaw is the next and from this point, students prepare themselves for life's chal- lenges. Academics prepare a student to broaden horizons. They set the stage for under- standing differences and learning new things. They also help us to relate to others. 2

Developing a sense BLACK HISTORY MONTH A variety of activities were planned at Shaw to help celebrate the history, culture and achie- vements of Afro-Americans. The theme for 1988 was: If you know the beginning, the end will not trouble you. Activities began in January with the viewing of films about history by students in their social studies classes. During February, video-tapes on African-American history and culture were shown at Korb during the lunch periods. A lec- ture series assemblies and Black Academic Challenge Competition were all part of the cel- ebration. Highlights of the series were an electrifying performance by the Imani African American Dance Company, which was made possible by the Ohio Arts Council. Ms. Linda Thomas- Jones, the Imani Company Director, is Shaw's artist in residence. Misani Gayle, publicist for the musical Gospel at Colonus talked to a group of students about behind the scenes careers in theater. Mr. Robert Earl Jones did dramatic readings of poems by African-American poets. He was accompanied by Mr. Willie Rogers, lead singer of the Soul Stirrers.
