Shaw is a very unique school with distin- guishable characteristics: stu- dent life, its people, the sports, other extracurriculars. These are just a few of the different areas in which Shaw stands out from other schools. Student life at Shaw includes fashion, hangouts, jobs and life after 3:25. Students at Shaw al- ways dress to impress. They wear nifty outfits that make them stand tall among the rest. Usually, Shaw students hang- out in one big bunch, either at someone's house or at the mall, shopping. Life after 3:25 includes '89 work for some, homework, household chores, or just rest- ing from a long school day for others. The people at Shaw are what make Shaw special. The seniors, juniors, sophomores and fresh- men unite to make one big fam- ily. Almost everyone knows ev- eryone else which makes get- ting along with others easier. They enjoy socializing be- tween classes. They are high spirited and will support their school to the maximum. Shaw 32 — Heights 14! We win again! Shaw excels in foot- ball, basketball, track, volley- ball, swimming, wrestling and baseball. We have top teams in all these sports. They are always supported and encouraged to win. There are many clubs and or- ganizations that are at Shaw. Many of them are educational and fun. They strive to get the students involved outside of the classroom setting. Our speech and theater department is a state leader. Included with all these aspects that revolve around Shaw, aca- demics are still our first priority. The staff and administration are trained to focus on the student and make sure each student gets his her fair chance at an excellent education. Shaw is truly worth being checked ut this year for many reasons. As you read on, I'm sure you will agree. Check This Out. . . Check Out the Diversity As in years gone by, Shaw has had quality as well as class. We, the Shuttle Yearbook staff of 1989, feel you should check us out further before you depart and flow into the future. In order for you to do so, you will have to Check Out the remainder of this yearbook. This book has many memories for Shaw High. We gathered them all and put them into a book for you. Shaw holds a future for anyone who aspires to one. Those who do, deserve to be checked out. Shaw students are vibrant, diversified and, above all, special. You can't make a judgment of them in one glance. As our theme implies, you have got to get to know them and check them out. The theme Check This Out signifies we are worth a second look. This book shares the good times and the sad times which occurred at Shaw and in the world in '89. It not only focuses on seniors, but it lets you see all of our school. When the staff considered a theme for the book, we wanted one which would make you look at our school and get your attention. From our cover to our close we hope you will Check Out Shaw High, its students and its life. If you strive to be an achiever and you hope to succeed — Good Luck to you!

Student Life Checkin' Out the Hangouts Cardinals Flock All Over! Shaw students would hang out at a variety of places in the Cleveland area. Some of their fav- orite places were right on the Shaw High campus. They included the Tech and voca- tional cafeterias as well as Korb Lounge. The two most popular places to hang out were Korb and, when weather permitted, the courtyard. Students would turn the courtyard into a private park where they could sit on the grass, talk and have lunch under a tree. Students also had a variety of hangouts around town. A popular place was the nearby Severance Mall. The newly renovated mall was a great hangout and included Severance The- ater, which hosts seven movie screens. Shaw stu- dents met several times as a group and enjoyed Shaw Night at the Movies. Severance also had an eating section known as the Galaxy. You can always find students grabbing a bite to eat be- fore a show. Speaking of eating, stu- dents could always be found in local restaurants such as Angela Mia's or McDonald's after a victo- rious game or a dance. Games — football and basketball — drew large crowds of Shaw students. Extracurricular activities also drew a large group of students who united for the purpose of having fun and being with friends. It was not uncommon for members of a variety of cliques to assemble for in- formal gatherings at a friend's home. There, they would listen to music, talk or view rented videos.

Homecoming Day celebrations began with a parade which featured the Homecoming Court, clubs, organiza- tions and different groups. Immediately following the parade was the football game where our Cardinals beat Lincoln West by a whopping 58-0 score. Dur- ing halftime, the King and Queen were crowned. In the long run, most people thought overal I that the proceedings were better with soft instrumental music for each candidate. Perhaps this reflects the strong jazz liking of so many students. Each candidate was required to give a brief speech this year, to explain why they were the best candidate. The female candidates this year were Melonee Bunell, Audrey Curtis, Kelly Drake, Cecelia Young and Jennice Hunter. Males in the Vocational were introduced. The night concluded with a semi- formal dance. All students could attend and dance the night away the Cardinal way. Far left: Students jam at a pep rally.

''We, the students of Shaw High School like to dress and we wear it well. This year, there are many fads and fashions that the students of Shaw High are wearing. We, the students of Shaw High school, like to dress and we wear it well. Here are some of the most common styles and names that people are wearing: Polo, Benetton, Anne Klein, Tommy H., Outback, Red Leather Gap and Liz Claiborne. People like to wear loafers with suit jackets as the extreme in casual apparel. Are Shaw students still attracted to designer labels? You bet! Senior swimmer, Brian Mas- sey, says he prefers to wear a designer label because 'That's Kimberly Branch and Oliver Faison exemplify the after five look. Hot Trends of What's Hot and What's Not! what's in! His fellow senior, Jerome Lowery feels they promise quality. Tracy Jackson represents the views of many, however, when she says, Wear what looks good on you. Labels mean nothing if you don't look good! 89 is a year of hot trends and fashions. To show you what we mean, we intend to show you some of the fashion trends of this year. As you will see, in the fashion department, Shaw stu- dents know what style is and how to coordinate various out- fits. The biggest trend that's new this year is the friendship band. These friendship bands are worn with any attire and their purpose is to symbolize the close bond of friendship be- tween two friends. Looking at hair styles, Shaw has always been known for its fresh cuts. The Cameo cut is a style which most young men of Shaw wear. Shaw women enjoy wearing a Bobb which can be cut into geometric shapes. As you can see, fashion plays a big role at Shaw. We, the stu- dents of Shaw, like to dress and we wear it well! 14 y Student Life Shaw students are well known for their fashion statements. They are also known for their Super fresh cuts, Above, you will find a few examples of Super Cardinal Style From the left, April Robin- son shows off her three point Bobb while junior Evelyn Riase gives us a glimpse of her glam- orous cut. Senior Cedric Robinson adds an attrac- tive smile to complement his Cameo cut. Twins Freda and Donita Arnold set good examples of Shaw High fashion. Student Life Hot Trends . . . Fashion Looks Around Shaw The fashions that today's teens are wearing seem to vary as the years go by. Today they sport styles that are casual, dressy, preppy and even include the torn jeans and tennis shoe look. Every year, the craving for tennis shoes gets stronger and stronger. They have become such a fashion statement that females wear them with skirts and males wear them with suits. One of the most popular styles is the suede or leather look. A leather dress or skirt with a nice blouse for the girls and a pair of leather slacks for the guys, (accompanied by a silk shirt, a sweater or a full length jacket) is DEATH! A new look, called the sag is also very popular. The sag is created by buying pants too big so they hang down in the back. Today's fashions are truly eye-catching '. Shaw students look great be- cause they take care in de- veloping their wardrobe. Shopping has become an important activity for today's students. In fact, the malls are like a second home for students. Patrick Williams, Kevin Hawkins and Terrell Cameron show super fresh cuts that compliment casual styles. Melonee Burrell shows off a hot leather skirt with a silk blouse. Syvella and GiGi step out in Rolanda Rogers shows style at style. its best! Friendship bracelets show close relationships.

Today was the day, much to the chagrin of the staff, when it was O.K. to bring a stuffed animal or two to school. Boy, oh boy! Wasn't it a sight to see? Guys were more involved in the day than expected. When asked what they thought of bringing a stuffed animal to school, this is what they had to say I love to show off mine because I enjoy showing him dressed up in school colors. He is also very spe- cial to me because I won him for my mom Big Bob Harrald Grade 12 Above, 1. Akia Foster and a lovable lion! Conrad and Jerry are excited over their dates . Stuffed animals show caring and sensitivity to- wards a young lady, as well as bringing out the kid in all of us1 Calvin Curry Grade 12 Why did Shaw High students like their stuffed animals and bring them to school? Is it a big time ver- sion of Show Tell ? Is it to have something to hug when things go wrong? Finally, are they just too lovable to be left alone? The answers, though similar, do vary. To me it shows you care for someone more than just yourself. I also feel are for Show and rt Shawndra Maxey Grade 12 Beside being cute, quiet and lovable, they don't talk back? Somedays we all run into people who put us down and hurt our feelings. With a stuffed animal, we can turn around and see a sweet face, give a hug and feel a whole lot better! Simone Lawson Grade 12 To me, a guy who admits to liking and even having his own stuffed animals is a real sweetheart! We should have days like this more often! Senetta Mays Grade 10 The day was fun with lots of oohs and aahs. Perhaps we should have days I ike this more often! Dwayne and friend bring their cuddly friends Even Mr. Hines deserves a hug!

Students these days seem to be very independent, and when we say independent, we mean finan- cially, as in workin' through school ' Students tend not to ask their parents for money as much as they used to. In some cases they can't and in some cases it's be- cause they have their own. Many of our high flying Cardinals have jobs and spend up to 40 hours a week at work. Students work in order to keep up with the expenses of school, in order to keep up with the latest fads and fashions and, in some cases to help out at home. They also work to become reliable, re- sponsible and mature members of society. Working through school can really be difficult. It's rough when you have to work too many hours or do not have a set schedule. Many students find it difficult to combine a job and school. In most cases, it's the school work that suffers. When a student combines a job and school there are many adjust- ments to make. The important thing is to remember your first job is your schoolwork. Working through school is a good way to make an entry into the real world. Duana and manager go over the sales for the week at Manta Ik. Broderick and Daryle had already learned about team work on the football field. It carried over to their part time jobs. 22 Student Life Student Life if 23 Antoinette tries hard to stay awake when there are no customers around.

Through out the years there have been people who have become famous because of their special friendship. There is Tom and Jerry, Laverne and Shirley, Heckel and Jeckel, the Three Stooges, the list goes on and on. Their stories made us remember when, how, and Best friends come in twos, they also pay a lot of dues. You can't see one without the other. The special bond between the two cannot be broken. Many of them use this as a token. The special care for each other cannot be stolen. Their friendship is very unique. Best friends are always joking. You can say that they often get in trouble together. But most of all, they stick together in the worst situations. Ebony and Christa where we met our best friends and how our relationships started. This year we asked our seniors Who's your best friend? We received a lot of response from our students, but we could only feature 10. The groups picked showed a spe- These two met at a time of sorrow. It was when the Brooks boys were killed. LaVisa was very close to them.

Check them out! Costance and Nicole hated each other more than anything, but they were together a lot because their boyfriends were best friends. So they learned to get along. When they both turned out to be managers of wrestling, they were together all the time so their hatred turned to love. They became best friends and shall always be the best of friends. Costance and Nicole Who's your best friend? all these students just wanted you and everyone else to know that they're the best of friends. Lynn and Shari have been friends a long time now. But this year their friendship has grown into love and a great friendship that will last until the end of time. Lynn and Shari Student Life My best friends are Dwayne (Da-Da) Compton and Kevin Hawkins. We are the best of friends because we basically enjoy the same things and we are easy to get along with. We all enjoy going out with girls, hanging out at the mall, and some times just riding around town when we have nothing better to do. We've been best friends since elementary school and we will always be the best of friends, even though they left me here to graduate from Shaw all by myself. Patrick, Da-Da and Kevin Leah and I have been best friends for 13 years. We have had our ups and downs but that is what friendship is about. We have shared many secrets and the good thing about it is that we are the only two who know about it. We have laughed and cried together. When Leah is down, I cheer her up, and when I'm down, she cheers me up. There are times when we have gotten in trouble together and what a mess! The best part about our relationship is the trust and honest we have for one another. Another positive thing is we find it easy to confide things with each other. These reasons and many others are why we are best friends. Leah and Stephanie I first met Sam on my way home from elementary wrestling practice at Shaw. Along with other wrestlers on our street, we walked home from practice. Sam and I saw, one by one, everybody quit except for us. Once we were at Kirk, we became good friends, but we were also rivals. We both thought we would get the M.V.P. award. I was wrong and Sam got the award. Sam and Maurion 28 Student Life Lisa Fields has grown to be my best friend. Her friendly, quick smile and great personality aided in our friendship. I recall meeting Lisa in gym class during our 9th grade year. Though we weren't close then, this year she has become a great friend who I can identify with. We get along all of the time and share special moments, which we will be grateful to tell our kids about. No one could have a better best friend. Lisa and Kim We met at Case Western Reserve University Upward Bound during the school year of 1986-87. Neither of us actually know when we became friends and just recently we realized that we were best friends. We can openly express the way we feel and if our feelings are different we still respect each others views. We love each other like sisters. That is why our friendship will last until the end of time. Cassaundra and Jozon My best friends are Conrad Bartley and Darnell Staten. They are always around when I feel down and I am always there for them too. We are sorta like a modern, say, Three Muskateers. There is no female in this world, no matter how beautiful she is, that can destroy our friendship. We have a strong bond between us that will never be broken, and that's why we are best friends.

A colorful, three hour spectacle mixing ancient Korean rituals with space age technology kicked off 16 days of athletic competition. 30 % Student Life mmm i The Shuttle Discovery blasted into orbit in September, the first space flight since the shuttle Challenger mission ended tragically 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1988. The Discovery ended it's successful four day, 1.6 million mile mission with a triumphant landing at Edwards Airforce Base in California. It became an international effort of good will Russians and American rescuers cut through the ice in Alaska to save two California gray whales. The whales were trapped in the ice for more than three weeks. News media from around the world converged on the tiny village of Barrow, Alaska, to cover the successful rescue. The summer of 1988 was hit with the worst drought in many years. Throughout the midwest, farmers watched helplessly as their crops went dry. In East Cleveland, we baked on the streets! Amid tears and grief, thousands of people who had died of AIDS were memorialized in October in ceremonies centered on a huge quilt that was made from friends and family members of the victims. Each of the panels measured three feet by six feet and all 50 states and a dozen foreign countries were represented in the 375,000 square foot quilt. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev worked for several years to bring the two countries together. After a treaty was signed to eliminate certain nuclear weapons, 1988 was the year the efforts of these two leaders went into effect. Vice-President George Bush, after serving for eight years in the Reagan administration, got the expected nod at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans in the summer of '88. His running mate was Senator Dan Quayle of Indiana. Public opinion polls showed the 41 year old senator was not a popular choice. Bush and Quayle won the y election. 32 W Student Life It was one of the big marriages of the year. Heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson married actress Robin Givens. But the stormy marriage of the 22 year old rich boxer and the 23 year old beautiful actress lasted less than a year. She filed for divorce. After being accused of marrying Iron Mike for his money, Givens said she wouldn't take a dime. Tyson came to Cleveland to recuperate. We've alt heard of an American in Paris, but whoever heard of a Parisian in East Cleveland? Shaw High, that's who! This year Shaw was home to Steve Andre of Paris, France. Steve was here with the Youth for Understanding Exchange Program and resided with senior Germaine Billingsly and his family. In Paris, Steve lives with his mother, Christiane, who is a psychologist and with his older brother and sister. The school Steve attends in Paris is much smaller than Shaw. How did Steve enjoy his time in America? He loved the phone system, Cedar Point and the friendly people. He did miss the hustle and bustle of Paris, the City of Light. Steve returned to Paris at the end of May. His American brother, Germaine will visit this summer. Bon soir, Steve! We enjoyed your visit, your humour and most of all, YOU! Senior cheer leader, Simone Lawson, was hoping her first composition this year would be How I Spent My Summer Vacation . After all, it's not every girl who spends her summer in Brazil! Simone participated in a Youth for Understanding Summer Program. She spent seven weeks of die summer of '88 w ith die Scota Family of Campinos, Brazil. The family included Jose and Rita, Simone's Brazilian parents, and their daughters, Andrea and Daniel la. My time in Brazil was a very enriching experience which opened my eyes to new horizons and ideas, said Simone. By the time I returned to the U.S., I had discovered that people are the same everywhere. They seek happiness, love and success. Simone found teenagers in Brazil very like their American counterparts. Despite language barriers, certain things are universal. We are certain Simone will always treasure those seven weeks! Student Life Geeks! Ugh! They're every- where! This male, teenage phenomenon can be spotted either when his head scrapes the ceiling or when his fore- head crashed into the door- knob! His bone thin (or squat, dumpy) body awkwardly nego- tiates the hallways at school. Readily identified as the creature who happily resides in the front row of your math class — he's one of those types with all the answers. He's the kind who spends his leisure time in search of newer and more ex- citing ways to solve those tricky math problems. He's the kid who does tomorrows home- work at lunch — the one who does his shopping at Geeks-R- Us. Whatever he is — he's not your type! You wonder what guys like this must be thinking! How could they possibly believe their pas- sion for you — a normal girl with normal friends — could ever be reciprocated! What happens when one of these hopelessly weird people falls for YOU? Definitely not a geek is Michael Iordan. At right, your basic geek. Geek City Blues If a geek liked me, I would just tell him we can be friends but nothing more than that! Angela Bennings I would dismiss him and walk away! SIKE! I would be his friend! Taiwana Story I would just say I had a boyfriend and that we could just be friends. Stacey Taylor I would probably just take his number down and then, when I saw him again, I would act like I didn't see him! Stephanie Adams 34 Student Life Geek City Blues (J'XaiAT- t A - iiriu ntt- £) j+4t. j J -v£4 VM - Those geeky girls! The re out to get you no matter what hap- pens! A geek in love will hap- pily dump their favorite hideouts to get close to YOU — her cherished love! Abandon- ing her calculators, computer screens, thick books and other geeky friends, she will tag after you — desperately seeking a glimmer of recognition on your part! Remember guys — when you're tempted to laugh and run away — that a geek would never laugh at YOU or stand YOU up for a date! Geek girls aren't into all that superficial stuff like good looks or clothes. They like you because you're YOU! What guy among you has never been doggedly pursued by such a specimen at least once? Remember, guys, let this girl down easily, if you must. You may feel she is maki ng you look bad in front of your cool friends. How do you get out of a tough relationship? Most guys would put a beauty like Jasmine Guy on the top of their date list but would they accept all girls as readily? I would probably say that I had a girlfriend and that maybe we could be friends. Tyrone Ashford I would ask her where she knew me from and then I would ask her if she had a job! William Gambrel I I would probably just say, in a nice way of course, that I would not be interested in her. Sean Zitney I would say that I had a girlfriend already and then I would introduce her to one of my other friends. Roderick Crockett Student Life Off Campus Lunch A Matter of Taste or Legality? Where are you going for lunch? It's a popular question heard around Shaw as the lunch periods roll around. Some students do mean what cafeteria are you going to but many mean where are you going, as in Sister's, Mays, or Mickey 0's. At some schools this is not a problem, but Shaw has a closed campus. A closed campus means students are not permitted to leave school for lunch. An open campus, of course, means you can. Most schools, as is Shaw, are on a closed campus basis. It saves a lot of legal hassle if you keep students on campus. Other schools have gone to the open campus because of evercrowding. Their cafeterias just cannot meet the needs of large numbers of students. At Shaw, the enrollment is declining. Why do students persist in leaving campus? Many say they prefer the food at local fast food restaurants. Others say they work better after a break from school. Many teachers feel that once a student leaves campus, he she is un- likely to return. A number of students have obtained off campus lunch passes. They thought it made it legal to eat off campus but all they allow for is going home for lunch. Local restaurateurs like the money students bring in but are the first to complain if students are loud or rowdy. It often turns away their adult cus- tomers. Off campus lunch. What does the future hold? Video games may be an attraction Shaw can't offer. Warm fall weather makes the courtyard the place to be at lunch. 36 Student Life The Health Office's Ms. Rozier stirred staff and students with her rendition of Amazing Grace at the MLK assembly. Reverend Tanya Fields told all students they possess the power to succeed. At right, Mr. May stresses the importance of remembering the past. ‘ iCwvjtuLfit Lifyt U 38 Student Life 7 4 . . KNOWLEDGE SHALL LIFT UP THE SCHOLAR'S HEAD , a quote by Egyptian poet Ptah- Hotep, was our theme this year for the month of February. Special attention was given to the heritage, culture and contributions of African Americans. Every class was asked to become involved in observing this special month through the use of bulletin boards, assignments, special projects, and participation in the school project. The special school project was the compilation of a list of the ten most influential African Americans in addition to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This project was coordinated by the teachers in the English depart- ment. The annual Black Academic chal- lenge Competition, sponsored by East Cleveland Public Library, on Thursday, March 16th at 7:00 p.m. Coaches for the competition were Mr. Leon Hines, Mrs. Carol Sha- heed, Mrs. Jacqueline Sharp, and Mr. Vernon Tolbert. The Honor- able Judge Una Keenon served as moderator. Each member of the winning team, coached by Mrs. Sharp, received a $100.00 United States Savings Bond. This years winners were Jocelyn Taylor, Calvin Curry, Angela Thompson, Shawnamichelle Leonard and Vic- tor Jones. The seminar series was held with a number of excellent speakers from the community participating. Special announcements that high- lighted some aspect of African American history and culture were made each day during the month of February. An impressive display greated students who attended the Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards ceremony. African American History and Culture Ptah-hotep Student Life M.L.K. Awards Rainia Wiley Takes Top Spot! The 1989 Martin Luther King, Junior, award winner was senior, Rainia Wiley. Rainia was chosen by the selection committee as the student who best exemplified and strove for the ideals and goals of Dr. Martin Luther King. This year's selection was par- ticularly difficult due to the high quality of all nominees. Students are nominated on the basis of character, academics and com- munity involvement, the 1989 nominees were all well qualified. In addition to Rainia, Germaine Billingsley, Cornelius Owens, Jacques Sadler, LaVisa Walls, Kara Strong and Gregory Sherrod were nominated.

Neil Simon's 'The Odd Couple showcased the tal- ents of seniors Cornelius Owens and Thomas Barnes. Owens starred as the irascible Oscar, a perennial slob, while Barnes played the role of the finicky Felix Unger. The two opposites are forced to share an apartment and the differences in their personalities provide the laughs. The remaining roles were filled by Tramel Tucker as Murray, Akia Foster as Royal, Constance Hick- man and Tandy Hatton as the Coo- Coo Pidgeon sisters, Marcus Reid as a decidedly Lewis Turner Vinny, and junior William Morgan as Speed. Ms. O'Leary, director, said the play was . .. Truly an ensemble performance. All cast members worked together to make the pro- duction a success. The veterans worked with the newcomers to make them more comfortable on stage. All cast members worked to fill in the gap when the original Murray moved to another school district. Tramel Tucker came in at the last moment and, with the help of Owens and Barnes, did a superb job. One aspect of the production which all cast members enjoyed was learning to play poker. Oscar and his friends are real poker players and the scene didn't work until the cast learned to play. Ah! The sacrifices required by art! Murray, Oscar and Royal get news of Felix's depression. Above, Oscar and Felix argue as their friends look on. At left, Oscar tries to sweet talk an unwilling Felix into doing things his way. Student Life “QUcfc -' Oa Pteflt” Senior Hopes and Aspirations This year has been one that is truly action packed. After four years of blood sweat and tears, the seniors of Shaw High's Class of 1989 have finally conquered the system. During the four years we've spent together, we have grown as a family and have spent good times as well as bad with one another. And now — we move on! We move on to achieve the potential of which our educators have made us aware. We move on to being the innovators of our generation. We move on to be positive role models for others. These are our senior hopes and aspirations. Although we ail won't make it to being the politicians, lawyers and doctors of tomorrow, we will still succeed by being the very best in whatever we have chosen. Our renowned educators have provided us with the necessary tools for preparation Above: Germaine dreams of what is future will hold. To the right, Calvin Curry, Yolanda Ison, Donnie James and LaShella Lewis discuss their college plans. 46 Seniors for the future. Our math will help us to become accountants; with our English classes, we can become the famous writers of tomorrow. Our vocational courses have provided us with the sharp tools for succeeding in business and the trades. Skills in computer programs will help us advance in our country's modern technology. Now we will cross the bridge to the other side and begin building our dreams. Although there may be rough water under the bridge, infested with pollutions such as corruptions, selfishness ant destruction, we will strive to succeed and find the road to success. As we begin our journeys in separate directions, we know that now is the time to take a look at ourselves. Now is the time that we will move on to greater heights. Now is our time to take on new responsibilities and expand our horizons. If we believe it, we will achieve it. We have the talents and gifts to contribute to the dreams we seek. As we take a look at our past, we will make a difference. It is the only way, the expected way and the CARDINAL way! After my senior year in high school, I plan to attend eight years of college. I plan to earn a degree in business management and a minor in social services. Business would give me an opportunity to make a mark in the world. Social Services will enable me to work with people. My goal is to set an example for the younger Black Americans and show them that it can be done. Leslie Alford As a graduating senior of the class of 1989. I have many hopes and aspirations for the future. My immediate goal is to attend a small but reputable college and major in psychology. My minor would be in ROTC. My next goal is to become a commissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force. Marcus Reid After high school, I plan to attend a Cleveland area college. My major will be pre-law and I will minor in theater. I plan to study these fields for six to seven years and obtain a law degree. I may work for a firm of attorneys, or maybe open my own office. I know this is the right choice for me because I love working with and helping others. Tanya Gamer At top: Lavelle Humphrey and Howard Ottrrix work on the computer.

FACULTY The Shaw faculty and staff is composed of a variety of per- sonalities, abilities and inter- ests. Whatever Shaw students needed or wanted — there was someone capable of providing it. Shaw's administration com- posed of a principal, six unit principals, an assistant princit pal and an administrative coor- dinator, are primarily respon- sible for taking care of business here at Shaw. They are the peo- ple who enforce board policy, enroll students and handle dis cipline referrals. Shaw's unit office system changed last year. It expanded from four to six units to equalize the stu- dent load and provide better service to students. Students are now assigned according to last name as Opposed to being divided by grade level. Initially, many students disliked the new system but continuity and fa- miliarity have made it more comfortable. The teachers of Shaw High do far more than just teach. In many cases, they provide that extra spark and support. Many teachers were involved in coaching, or tutoring, or a number of other activities. Often they are just that special person you needed to talk with. The administration and faculty are able to do their jobs be- cause of a fine support staff. Our excellent secretaries ease the jobs of counselors and administrators. The custodial staff at Shaw works hard to keep the buildings clean and orderly. The cafeteria workers make even the most institu- tional of foods taste better with their cheery smiles and pleas- ant manner. Shaw teachers, administrators and staff helped make Shaw a nicer place to be in 1989. Look them over and check them out! Martin Gottlieb Vance Holt Adm.

What do they do, these support personnel of Shaw High School? The range of their re- sponsibilities is overwhelming. They check you in when you are tardy; send you home when you are sick. They handle re- cords questions, phone calls, administrators, teachers, stu- dents, parents and visitors. They cook meals for you and clean up after you. They set up the stage for programs. They handle incoming mail and out- going packages. They carry heavy loads. They maintain security in the halls and at events. They sometimes as- sume the role of mother, father, friend, counselor and instruc- tor. They do a lot, these support personnel. Ms. Sowell, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Rice brighten the main office. How are they treated, these support personnel? They are loved and hated; respected and insulted; held in esteem or treated likedirt. They share joys in life as well as the brunt of frustrations. They are thought of well — or not at all. Where would we be without these support personnel? We would have dirty halls and overflowing waste baskets. We would receive no mail, have no lunch and never receive a mes- sage. We would have no grades, no records or transcripts. There would be no light or heat. Without them, the support per- sonnel of Shaw High School, we wouldn't be able to func- tion. They are truly a key ele- ment in the successful opera- tion of Shaw.

The beginning of a whole new decade, that's what makes the class of 1990 so unique. The blending of their personalities, values, attributes and achievements form a colorful rainbow that no other class can outshine. We are the start of a whole new decade! This symbolizes an immense change; greater leaders, greater sense of values. Through our academic abilities and determination, we have proven we are the best. We are able to keep our eyes on the prize and work to reach our goal. We are the class that remember: 'Tough times never last, but tough people do! Aerica Clay Junior Aerica Clay The class of 1990 enjoys lunch! New Ideas! As is every person, the class of 1990 is unique. We are the first class of the '90's. This symbolizes a change, a new beginning for all. It will be the beginning of a new decade and a new beginning of our lives. We, as the class of '90, will be entering the world at a new and fresh point. With new things come new ideas. I think that with all the bright intelligent and hardworking people in the class of '90, we will all make a significant mark on the world.

The day when they would be able to break away from the humiliat- ing title of an “underclassman and enter the wonderful world of the upper class. After surviving the terrors of being a freshman, you finally, with great relief, reached your sophomore year. 'Things can only get better, you thought. And they did. Here you are only one step away from that ultimate goal of being a senior. For some, this day wasn't as wonderful and glamorous as they had imagined. It meant long hours spent on challeng- ing courses and agonizing over preparations for college. For many, academics became an increasingly important fac- tor . . . College, and other advanced training seemed so far away. Now students are faced with the choice of where they want to go and what they want to do. More importantly, students are faced with the reality of having a grade point high enough to please the school of their choice. Re- member, the junior year is the year that most colleges look at when selecting their next class. We hope you made it one of your best!

Everald Manning Angela DeBuse Richard Bulgin Ellen Melvin Hakim Lewis larita Summerville Marc Graham Sharon Semple Nichelle Porter Monique Mackey A Step Up for the Class of '91! Sophomores had reason to celebrate. Things had changed; There were now people in the hall shorter than they. The upperclass students tended to ignore them rather than tease them. They even began to develop a unique Shaw spirit ! All sophomores got the once in a lifetime chance to take health and learn all about healthy living as well as sex-ed! After sophomore year, phys. 94 if Underclass ed. will become only a memory. Another memory was be- ing a freshman and being glad that year was past! Sophomores had a good deal to look forward to — soon enough they'll be the seniors and will graduate from high school. For now, we hope they will take their time and build up memories for a life- time! Nineteen Hundred and '91 It's True! We are a class of class. A class of courage made only to last. Although our work is yet undone; We await the year of '91! And as we await the year to come. Take the time to see how far we've come; So far from where we started from, We are the class of '91! Let other look at us and see What a class was really meant to be: A spirited class A determined class A proud class A strong-willed class A class which walks successfully! The class of a year so soon to come. The class of a year which will be won, That spirited class, that class of class — Nineteen hundred and '91!

Wnaley The first day of school is usually associated with the words mass confusion , but when that first day is coupled with freshmen, chaos can result. This past year, the first day of school was especially hectic for new students. Coming from the middle school, where they had been the top dogs , they were now at the bottom of the heap again, and there is nothing worse than that They had to try to adapt to a new school, students and administration. The Transitions program was designed to help the new freshmen overcome some of these problems. It offered an intensive look at get- ting around Shaw; school rules and scheduling of classes. Some of the major problems faced by freshmen were finding The class of'92 offers fresh new faces! Freshmen Smith 1002 Bottom row, ! to r: S. Thompson, S. Thomas, T. Trotter. Top row, M. Tin- shy, M.

On any given day, one could see more than half the freshman class walking around with duffel bags, many of which were larger than their owners. They also encountered the problem of musical classrooms, in which the fresh- men were seen scurrying from room to room, trying to find the right one before the tardy bell rang. Many were on the run for the first couple of weeks! Despite all their problems, the class of '92 gave it their all. They found the rooms, found ideal locker times and even re- membered their new teacher's names! Although you could still find a few freshmen with their oversize duffel bags, most managed to figure it out. This class of freshmen certainly tried their best to succeed. Good Luck to the class of 1992! A new freshman figures out the right combination! Freshmen Killian 1102 Bottom row, I to r: R. Benjamin, D. Armstrong, T. Baines, T. Arnold, A. Arnold, A. Beasley.

The main ob- jective of the department is to enable the students of Shaw High to read, write, and speak well. This year a new class Black Literature was added to the curriculum. Other cur- riculum changes will include a whole new course of study for grades 9-12. Also a writing lab is in their process of develop- ment; the lab will be equipped with word processors that will enable students to revise easily. Eleven years ago, the English department began the Renais- sance Festival . The story is told by Ms. Carol Blaha. In 1978, when Shaw offered three elective senior classes, an assembly program to encour- age juniors to select British lit- erature was envisioned. The as- sembly program would show- case the talents and abilities of seniors in a program of vigor- ous competition. Thus began the Renaissance Festival. So that all seniors would have a chance to perform, five differ- ent competitions were included as well as a variety of non- competitive event. Prizes, in the form of certificates are awarded in the character cos- tume show, poetry writing, dramatic presentations of scenes from Shakespeare, me- dieval dance and a champion- ship joust, in an Academic Challenge style competition. Other events include a musical selection, pantomime, decora- tion, refreshments, program cover design and photography Over 1200 students have com- peted in the annual event which has delighted scores of Shaw parents and underclass- men. Shaw teachers have served as judges, coaches and resource artists. Former festival participants return to judge and enjoy the tradition of excel- lence. Above, Ms. Blaha's students form a meny group for the Renaissance Festival. At left, future Renaissance participants from Ms. Simmon's tenth grade, perform a scene from Julius Caesar. Mathematics at Work One of the strongest curricu- lums we have here at Shaw is the math department. This de- partment is headed by Ms. L. Cain, the purpose of the math department is to prepare stu- dents for post secondary plans which include college, busi- ness school, trade schools, the military and or the world of work. The math department is a very strong department with excel- lent members to uphold this title. They can be considered one big family because they work together in order to achieve their goals. This year slight changes were made. A few teachers left and new staff members were added. Ms. Karen Owens took a year off, Ms. Paulette Gaines moved to Washington and Ms. Esther Boyd took a sabbatical. Along with these deletions came some additions. Mr. Richard Aistrope is new this year and Ms. Elizabeth Good- win came to Shaw from West Tech. This year we have a total of eighteen math teachers on staff aimed to educate. There are many facilities around campus where students can go to improve their math skills. We have a computer lab in which students can spend their free time. There is also a computer stationed in Mr. Jec- kels room where students can work. If any student is having trouble with math, tutoring ses- sions are held in the library on selected days. The math department offers a variety of classes that will en- hance the students thinking. They range from general math, algebra, geometry, probability and calculus. Probability and statistics is a new course of- fered this year. The last time it was taught at Shaw was eleven years ago. Since there was suf- ficient enrollment, the class was offered again this year. There is no reason not to have an excellent background in math if you go to Shaw!.

The Shaw High Science De- partment, offers a wide variety of activities for students in Sci- ence as well as those who are not. The Science Department initi- ated the Greenhouse Program. The Greenhouse Program is for 9th grade students, who have a 7th period Study Hall. Students meet every school day at the greenhouse. They are taught how to grow plants from seeds, the care of plants and how to arrange them. The students are involved with the aspects of business also. Students are re- sponsible for the sale to the public publicity, bookkeeping and the distribution of the plants and flowers. The money that is raised from the sales are used to buy materials to carry on the greenhouse. Students from colleges also visits the Science classes. An al I day assembly is given where students from Hirim College visits to give talks about their institution. Students are also in- volved with campus visits to Bi- ology centers, weekend stays on campus, and also a chance for parents with personnel. The Science Department spon- sers the Career Awareness Pro- gram (CAP) which has visited Kentucky University, More- house and Spellman College. The department also presents its annual Science Fair and dis- tinguished Scientist Program in which outstanding Scientist within the school and com- munity were honored for their achievements. The Science Department of Shaw is shaping the minds of the future Scientist. Students in Ms. Turk's chemistry classes grace these pages. Look at all those smiles paired with all that learning! Science is sure worth checking out! Academics Students from Ms. Shaheed's Black Awareness class listen to a speaker at the African Museum in Cleveland. Ms. Sharp's students examine their personal badges as a clue to discovery of self. Social Studies Our Past, Ourselves The social studies department of Shaw offers a wide variety of courses which are aimed to help students in day to day living. Popular courses such as Black Awareness, Street Law and psychology are fun, but also interesting. Black Awareness, taught by Mrs. Shahee, was a course designed to teach Afro-American students about some of the things they do and why they do them on a cultural basis. The course is one that is very trendy. Students are taught about what goes on, on a day to day basis in the black community. In order to learn the future, we must know our past. The course includes the study of how Africans came to America. It also handles the way African Americans talk, act and dress. It covers what we do in general that affects our minds and bodies. Black Awareness is full of basic under- standing of the African American. Street Law is a full year popular course full with great excitement, fun and learning about the law. What is the law? Basically, the law is the set of rules that enables the mem- bers of a society to live and work together in harmony and to settle their disputes without violence. It pervades our day to day relationships, the people we deal with in our jobs and the mem- bers of our community. This course advises you of every right you should know as a citizen. It goes into great detail about the legal system and about laws. Some laws are in the form of a written constitution of statutes. Others are legal principals that have arisen over the years from custom, experience and common expression. To make the course more realistic, weddings, a family and mocsytriak are experienced first hand. There is also a drug game for students in street law classes. Mr. Tuttle and Ms. Simon taught street law. Psychology was taught by Ms. Sharp. This course gave students a brief class about life. The course runs for a semes- ter. Emphasizing common sense, the course deals with the mind and what makes people act and behave as they do. The class is action packed and con- stantly involves the students. Courses such as these enhance aca- demic excellence. They help students at Shaw leam about their past, their laws and themselves. Above, Students examine exhibits at the African Museum, while at left, Ms. Simon and students prepare for the Mock Trial Competition, in Columbus, Ohio. Social Studies Foreign Language Experience Adds Zing to Spanish This year, the students of the 1988- 89 Spanish classes had a unique opportunity to meet people and ideas from other cultures. Mrs. Senor has an exchange stu- dent from Alexis Mcarciz, who visited her classes. Maria Jose Salcedo from Argentina assisted the Spanish Students and taught them about her native country. In addition, Mrs. Senor's Student teacher, Mark Cummings of CSU, lived in Venezuala where he taught English as a foreign lan- guage. His Venezualan wife vis- ited the Spanish classes and talked about life there as well. Having lived in Argentina, Mrs. Senor prepared lessons employing slides and showing an Academy Award winning film The Official Story to her Advanced classes. Mrs. Senor's Spanish IV class of 1989-90 is hoping to visit Costa Rica and live within families there for several weeks in the coming year. Senor Howard's classes did some- thing very exciting. They built Casa Sonada {The Dream House). Each class divided itself into five (5) groups and each group was re- sponsible for one room in the house (i.e. living room, dining room, kitchen, etc.) The students increased their vocabulary for home furnishings. After the houses were completed, twelve judges were kind enough to judge each category. In the end, each Casa Sonada was a winner! Students rejoice when test grades are high!

At right: Senor Howard, Robert Greenwood and Chafeka Moore find the answer. 116 'foreign Language Exchange student Steve Andre and friends. Above: Shaunamichell and Aarion share. French Students Meet a Real Frenchman! French students this year had a unique experience to strengthen their lan- guage skills. They were able to meet and talk with exchange stu- dent Steve Andre. French teacher, Madame Blum, used Steve advantageously. Steve was able to work with students and help them with grammar and idio- matic expressions. Steve's classmates really enjoyed working with a real Frenchman. It helped to increase their awareness of the need to speak another lan- guage correctly. You won't be un- derstood unless you speak clearly and correctly. Steve's work with students helped to increase his English skills. He became more aware of the differ- ences than he would have had an opportunity to at home. Sharing cultures and language is what exchange programs are all about! bright colorful board displays increase interest as Cedric, Chablis and Charles complete a lesson. Foreign Language Health in Perspective Health is offered at Shaw in order to teach students the principals of healthy living in order to insure long and productive lives. Health is a required course for all tenth graders and transfer students who as yet have not completed this state required course. The curriculum for the health de- partment is continually updated as more information becomes avail- able on a wide variety of health topics. Students learn about themselves, their bodies and their relationships with others. As Mr. Jordan's bulletin board states — Health is mental, social and physical. It is an important subject for all. The health teachers work closely with a variety of local agencies to keep students updated on many topics such as teen pregnancy, AIDS and chemical abuse. They also try to use the latest in films re- lating to their topic in order to show the importance and rele- vancy of what they are teaching. Students also learn the principals of CPR during this course. Many a student has come to love or hate asphyxiated Annie — the practice dummy for resuscitation. They also learn the Heimlich maneuver for saving a person from choking. There are many courses at Shaw that are important. Health is both important and practical — a real bonus for its students and teachers. Students watch, listen and take notes during their health class. At top, from I to r: D. Lawrence and D.

Jones practices steering skills on Ms. Lawrence. Behind the Scenes in DHO The letters DHO stand for Di- versified Health Occupations. This is a vocational program designed for interested juniors and seniors. The main objec- tive of the program is to prepare students for entry level posi- tions at medical institutions and enable them to advance in the medical field. The instructor of DHO is Ms. Mary Lawrence. She has been in charge of the program for fourteen years. She says, 'The students are nice and I enjoy working with them ' It seems her students feel the same about her! The criteria for entrance into the program is that you enjoy helping others and have a background in biology and typ- ing. During the junior year, three credits can be obtained and classes last for three periods. In the senior year, only two pe- riods of the day are occupied by DHO. Many people have the idea that only students with low abilities enter DHO and other vocational classes, but there are many bright students in the program who think vocational school answers their needs, says Ms. Lawrence. I have had many honor and merit roll students who show a great po- tential for nursing or other tech- nical medical work. The program is a very success- ful one, but there are changes needed. A VCR in the class- room would be helpful for students to view related ma- terial. A computer would help because much of the current medical technology is com- puter related. Many students from the DHO program go on to become reg- istered nurses, head nurses and physical therapists. It is up to the student to strive to be the best they can be. They must choose their own future. Academics if 119 Senior Accounting Specialists: M. Semple, H. Ottrix, K. Burnett, Y. Hardrick, M. Johnson, A. Prince, P. Calloway, instructor, B. Price.

It is used in advertising, publications and television to interest a particular idea for support. Areas that are taught are welding, mag welding, straight edge cutting, brazing and blue print reading. This course is a two year course. Students should have a background in math, industrial art and science. The purpose of T.V. Production is to give students an opportunity to have hands on experience with audio-visual equipment. Students gain a lot of experience by taping many Shaw activities such as the Renaissance Festival, Mock Trial, play previews and classwork. Mr. Brown, instructor, notes that state of the art equipment was used to tape the Black Academic Challenge at the East Cleveland Public Library. Art One is designed to aid students to develop a keener and more profitable use of the senses to enhance them in the appreciation and worth of art. This course will provide students with a strong foundation in fundamentals of design through the study of five principles: line, form, space, texture and color. In 1989, the department participated in the Nuclear Age Video Project sponsored by the Nuclear Age Resource Center at Tri-C. Susan Wehling was the guest videographer Mr. Brown would like to see the department grow. Videography is the science of the future.

Overall, they were 5-1 in the Lake Erie League which meant the Cardi- nals shared the 88 Conference Title. Seniors Mike Thomas, Sean Patterson, Waverly Willis, Darnell Staten, Calvin Curry and Robert Bostick led the way during the season as captains. This season has been one of the most productive seasons in years. Not only did the team win nine games, but seven of those games were shut outs. Cardinal fans were treated to six shut outs in a row as the sea- son opened. Of those shut outs, four games were decided by three or more touchdowns! The offense moved and scored whenever possible. The defense for the mighty Cards was outstanding! The Big Red defense held all ten opponents to a combined total of thirty points! In ten games, that was an average of only three points per contest! Great defense! The most wins since the sixties! said Coach Tom Mental. The Lake Erie League Champs were so good that they were ranked seven- teenth in the State of Ohio and fourth in an inner city Plain Dealer Poll. Coach Mental said he had a lot of great moments suring this season. One bad moment, however, was the double over- time loss to Valley Forge at home. As a result of the great season, a number of players made the all L.E.L. first team. They are: Mike Thomas, Robert Bostick, Lavell Humphrey, Demetrius Oliver, Sean Patterson, Darnell Staten and Waverly Willis. Named to L.E.L. second team were Calvin Curry, Daryle Burns, Mario Houston, Darryl Vaughn and Altin Williams. Lance Houston, Bobby Harrell, Jonathan Howard and Mike Thompson received honorable mention. Needless to say. Coach Mental was named L.E.L. coach of the year. Kent State University scored a coup by offering scholarships to three Shaw seniors, Mike Thomas, Darnell Staten and Waverly Willis. Coach Mental would like to thank all assistant coaches which includes Mr. DiBarto- lomeo, Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Ross, Mr. J. Brown, Mr. Shelby, Mr. Jeckel, Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Con- rad and Mr. T. Spivey for all their hard work which went into a winning season. Big Red players included: D. Staten, D. Vaughn, L. Houston, N. Hilliard, D. Lambert, W. Willis, M. Thomas, M. Houston, R. Miller, B.

He's a young man with talent and more importantly, the grit to carry out the basics. Sometimes they pass unnoticed by the crowd — but this is not the case with Waverly Willis. During his time here at Shaw, Waverly has consistently im- proved as a football player. As Coach Mental pointed out, The important thing is that Waverly is the single most consistent player I have ever seen. Everyone remem- bers the big plays, but, most im- portantly, I see him following the basics in every play. Thats why the big plays come his way.

They were not only cap- tains but also have been Shaw's Volleyball stars for 4 years. “This has been the best team I've coached because of the ex- perience of the players! says coach Tobiasz The teams biggest thrill was placing 3rd in the Akron Buchtel Tournament. In the tournament, the team was not only led by Londa Byrd, but also Rhonda Holmes who be- came the star of the show and earned the recognition of being the all-star. The L.E.L. player of the year for the Ladybirds was Londa Byrd. Receiving honor- able mention recognition were senior Kelly Drake junior Rhonda Holmes. Most improved player is Noura Johnson, and scholastic player was Vida Johnson. Coach T will look for- ward to next season's action, because the team will be led by Rhonda Holmes and hopefully she can lead the Ladybirds to an L.E.L. title.

Softball Boy's and Girl's Harriers Stride Ahead Coach Thomas's team displayed a 6-12 record during the '88 season. This was the best cross country season mark since 1937. SINCE 1937! “Winning is sweet ' says Coach Thomas. The team was led by senior Craig Stewart, who also won the distinction of being an all L.E.L. player. Coach Thomas said the team really displayed good discipline. In this area, they were led by Clarence Ladson, Tyreno Sowell, Kareem Samod and Rausheeim Thompson, along with Craig Stewart. They were the teams top five runners through out the season. Other accomplishments were turned in by Nate Robinson, D'Artagnan Lyles, Leon Allison, Robert Ray and Dauntley Signal. Edward Danner and Jermaine McGowan were also top performers. The Boy's Cross Country team has progressed throughout the years, but this was their biggest year in terms of wins and point spreads. Coach Thomas and his runners are earning respect around the league for their hard effort this season. It is certain that the season is bright for the Cardinal Cross Country team. The girl's cross country team had a 5-5 record overall. The team is to be commended for their gutsy dedication through out the season. The girls who competed for Shaw in 88-89 were all either freshmen or sophomores, thus making them young and inexperienced. Our Lady Card's, however, ran to their best despite all odds. Both Mr. Ms. Brunton said, that because of their dedication, the girls could see great improvement in their skills. They look forward to next year's competition. Girls to be recognized for this season and looked forward to next season are ninth graders, Adrianne Edwards, Adrtanne Owens and Ebony Lee. Also look for sophomores Lafrica Gums, Kistina Boyd, Nicole McClonton and Erica Miller. Youth on the team is an advantage for next year, because, not only will the girls grow up together, they will improve and become better together. Indeed, they will become champions together!

The team finished in 5th place but even this season provided thrills for the Ladybirds and their fans. One of the exciting moments was beating Glenville at the buzzer in the sectionals. Coach Spivey says that a lack of experience was a problem this year. Only Shirelle Kaiser returned from last year's squad. The Ladybird's Most Valuable Player this season was Ms. Shirelle Kaiser. Her work on the team was invaluable. Scholastic award recipients were Charity Williams and Terris Moore.

Both teams face some real competition but there is an old saying in tennis that you don't improve unless you play someone better. Good luck to both teams. Get those rackets ready.

In addition, Emmanuel Delk led the team in re- bounds. The most im- proved player was senior Stephen Hardaway. All players are definitely a credit to the team. Coach Killian said that in- experience was what kept the Cardinals out of first place. That's the bad news. The good news is that the future looks bright for next year's Cardinals. Winning is a tradition at Shaw. Kevin Griffin, Stephen Hardaway and Willis Epps were selected to play in the regional all star games; the North Classic Thanks for another excit- ing year, Cardinal's.

As the season began, the Cardinal Wrestler's started off with 4 back to back wins. After the Normandy match, the mat stars lost a bitter match against rival Shaker Heights. Top manager. Crystal Levert, was concerned but not disappointed. She has always been a supporter of the Cardinal wrestlers since she joined them in the fall of 1986. She hasn't had a dull moment since signing on. The Cardinal wrestlers have had their ups and downs but even in their worst moments, on one could ever call the matsters quitters. They will fight until the fight is done! Shapiro McDonald, Demetrius Kin, Lamar Washington, Del rone Brown, Marc Graham and the rest of the team have set some very impressive records while on their journey to victory. Shapiro has a personal record of 21 wins and three lost matches. This record took him to the Mentor Tournament and Districts. Along the Coach Morgan stands with two of his top wrestlers, Shapiro McDonald and Demetrius King. way he earned the nickname of Meatgrinder because of his aggressive style. Del rone Brown has a record of 20 wins and four losses. This qualified him for the Mentor Tournament. Brown's motto is 'Take all you can! and he means it! Once he sets his mind to something, he is going to go through with it. Delrone, Shapiro and Demetrius King are seniors this year, so they will be turning over the leadership to the underclass stars, in the hope that they will carry on the Shaw winning tradition. Coach Morgan looks forward to the 1989-90 season with confidence. Manager Crystal Levert is a senior this year and as a result will also be leaving. She wishes the best for the car Cardinals of the future and promises to return to help keep records.

What It Takes It takes a lot of courage It takes some self-control It takes a lot of work If you want to reach a goal. It takes a lot of caring It takes working as a team It takes a lot of bending If you're reaching for a dream. It takes some painful hours Of muscles tight with pain It takes determination For squads to be the same. It takes a lot of giving It takes some rays of hope It takes encouragement from others To Know just how to cope. But when all the skills are learned your goals are almost done You look back on all the pain and trouble And just remember all the fun.

One of this year's highlights was a trip to West Virginia where they competed with some of the best marching bands in the country'. The crowd loved us and really wanted to see us number one, said Band director, Forest MoAtee. We lost out because of size and instrument area; which counts heavily in technical competition. I'm really proud of the band. Although they missed out on number one, the band placed very high for technical merit. They were the people's choice for overall winner. It appears that good stiff competition among peers is what drives many bands. Competing is fun and offers an opportunity to show what you've got. The Shaw High Marching Cardinals have a lot!

The current concert band and ensemble groups are rapidly gaining their own rep- utation as a force to be reck- oned with in the high school music world. First, there are the Shaw High Instrumental Rhythm Teens, who have already gained a great reputation. In addition to many school and local per- formances, the Rhythm Teens participated in the Lakeland Jazz Festival. They were also honored as a featured jazz ensemble at the Tri-S Jazz Fest High School Invitational Con- cert, where they performed with Mr. Rufus Reid, a pro- fessional jazz bass player from New York. Secondly, ensemble and solo groups have improved their skills. At the greater Cleveland and Ohio Region Seven Solo and Ensemble Contest, the groups took ''superior and excellent ratings as a group and as solo artists. The concert band was awarded and excel lent rating at the Oh io Region Seven Concert Band Contest held at Kirtland High School. The band performed at school assemblies, held Winter and Spring Concerts, per- formed at Kirk Middle School and at Shaw graduation cere- monies at the Front Row Theatre. These groups have established a considerable reputation. Congratulations! Shaw Music Lf 169 Sweet Sounds of Success! Shaw Choir The Shaw Choirs concentrated on performing this year. Their con- certs were not only given here at Shaw but throughout the city, where they enhanced Shaw's rep- utation. Early in the school year, the choir was asked to perform at a rally for Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, which was held on Cleveland's Public Square. The performance was excellent and the media coverage was outstand- ing. For the remainder of the year, the choir continued to perform at a variety of public and private func- tions, in addition to activities at school. This year, the choir competed in the Lake Erie League Competition held at Normandy High School. Keep up the good work, choir! Shaw is proud of you. Mr. Yarbrough has the rapt attention of all students as he directs. Concentration and dedication are evident here. There is little time for relaxation in choir, but the rewards are great!
