Ban All But School
Business Porkinq
On School Properly

Even the board of education has
its parking problems. In fact, the
problem has become so acute at
the school buildings having play
grounds that action has been taken
to prohibit all but school business"
parking on all school property.
Within the week signs will go up
on all school yards notifying motor
lists that they stand liable to a
towing fee if they park there.
Parking will be permitted for
anyone having business with the
school or attending a function in
the school.
A check of the school yards, es-
pecially in the Rozelle- Mayfair dis
tricts indicate that school people
have difficulty finding a place to
park because of space being occu-
pied by other cars.
Boost Rentals
The board also was unanimous
in boosting school rentals 25Gc,
effective with all new contracts.

Local School
Enrolment Up
In Elementary

Enrolment figures for the East
Cleveland Public Schools for the
second Monday of the current
fall term shows an increase of one
pupil over the corresponding l949
date, DR.. o. K. Korb reported to
the board of education Tuesday
night. Mondays figures are 4879.
A year ago they were 4878.
The first six grades have 1926
pupils, Kirk Jr. High has 949 and
Shaw Senior High has 1907. This
is a loss of 80 at Shaw, a gain of
48 at Kirk and a bulge in the third
grade mark in the elementary
schools.
In statistical year-by-year and
grade-by grade report of enroll
ment going back to 1878 school
year, DR.. Korb gave the board a
picture of the trend in today's
enrolment. On these figures is
based the staff requirements, and
pupil-teacher ratios.
In 1887 38 the elementary
schools had 3072 pupils. This fig
ure then started dwindling until
1944-45 when it reached low OF
2467. Since then there has been q
steady increase in enrolment up
to the 1925 figure this September
The biggest increases are in the
third grade.
At Kirk Jr. High School the
1898 enrolment was 1911 when
it started decreasing until it
reached 1923 in 1943-44. Contin.
uing the decline Kirk has 949 pu-
pills registered as of last Monday.
The upward trend in the elemen-
tary grades, however, will be
boosting the Junior High division
within a few years.
Shaw High School enrolment is
reflecting the downward trend in
the Junior High department. In
1878 Shaw boasted 1899 pupils.
This started falling off the fol-
lowing year and by 1944-45 the
Shaw enrolment was 1887. The
following year it went up to 1908
and then started on another down
curve to the 1907 mark of this past
Monday.
The overall picture of the pc
riod included in the report indi-
Gates a drop in total school en-
rollment as of now from the 1887
SO figure of 6282 to 4879.

Hey Kids! Want To
Be In A Show
For Other Kids /?

year it was a minstrel show
someone had the happy thought OF
bringing into the picture the many
talented youngsters in town-to
give the 19 year olds and under the
opportunity to display their tai
ent to the benefit of their own
hometown kids who now and then
need a lift.
No sooner said than committee
got to work. Here is the plan:
A two hour vaudeville shoW at
Kirk Auditorium, November 18th,
with the cream of the crop parti-
cipating.
That every kid or group of kids
may have a chance to be in the
show, tryouts will be held the week
of October 23rd. The deadline for
entries is October 10Th.
The spacing of dates will give
every entry time to sign up and
get ready for addition, and, if
selected, there will be time to put
the finishing touches to the act
for the big night.
So here it is, you 19 year olds
or under who live or go to school
in the East Cleveland School Dis
trict. Kiwanis is looking for musi-
cal talent, vocal or instrumental.
1t wants dancers, solo or groups;
it wants dramatic skits; it wants
anyone who has talent to put into
a two hour performance.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the Kids Show announce
ment. Read it. Fill out the blank.
Send it in. Start practising.
What are some of the Kiwanis
Boy and Girl aids? Well, the club
really prefers not to let he right
hand know what the left hand is
doing but:
The club provides dental care
gave $1,000 to the YMCA this
year; aids Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts
and Camp Fire Girls; send a boy
to Boys Town; subscribe to a
scholarship fund, etc. etc. All to
make some kids healthier and hap
pier. Quite an order. The Kid
Show should balance the books
even providing more activities
therein.
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-09-14

Basis of the action are the 25Go
increase in the schools electric
costs, and higher maintenance and
operation costs. A careful study
is to be made to determine if the
boost will still be sufficient, it
was indicated. Present Shaw audi
torium rates are $25 afternoons,
with no additional heat; $35 for
evenings without heat, and $50
evenings with heat.
Since Kirk Auditorium is larger
the rates are higher in proportion.
Night performances are $50 with
out heat and $50 with heat. Re-
hearsal rates are So between
$3.50 and $50 p. M, and ST
or $40 evenings, depending on
whether there must be heat. The
$3.50 boost will add to each of
these figures.
Gymnasiums, used entirely by
the WV and the YMCA when not
in use for the usual school activ-
tiles, have been rented on a special
cost basis. The increase here is
to be worked out later.
Fuel Bids Let
The East Cleveland Coal Co. and
the Morse-Grable Co. were awarded
bids for supplying coal this winter.
The former company will supply
the warehouse, Rozelle and Mayfair
school. Morse Cradle will supply
the power house which heats both
Prospect and Shaw buildings. The
Standard Oil Co. will again pro-
vide oil for the other buildings.
Miss Ruth Nemec, secretary, re-
ported all bins and oil tanks filled
as the school year starts.
The school burns an average of
1900 tons of coal yearly.
Request Tax Exemption
Since the School Athletic Asso-
| citation funds are now under control
of the Board of Education, and
any profits revert to the school
district, the board will file a re-
quest with the City of East Cleve-
land for exemption of amusement
taxes. Under present state regu-
lations amusement taxes are paid
directly to the municipality.
Suggest Black Topping
L. B. Keith, chairman, Build.
} ing and Grounds committee recon.
e mended that the board considel
black topping of all school pla!
grounds. Mr.. Keith is of the opin
ion that such an Improvement woult
lessen janitorial work and preserve
painted floors where now grave

jected the comment, it might also
mean a saving in shoe leather
The board adjourned to meet
Friday afternoon to open bids on
its building program.

School Board
Hears List Of
Complaints

Residents of the Dresden rd sec
ton of Cleveland Heights whose
properties abut or are adjacent to
the East Cleveland School Dis
trict's Caledonia school property,
geographically in the Heights
municipality, appeared before the
local board of education Tuesday
night with number of complaints.
First on their agenda was the
question of damage from surface
water which flows from the rear
and side of the school yard, across
the properties to such an extent
that landscaping Of their particu-
lar area is impossible, they told the
board.
L. B. Keith, chairman Of the
boards building and grounds COM
mittee explained that two years
ago Cleveland Heights did some
filling along there. At the same
time, according to Charles Sedgley,
935 Dresden rd., a man hole which
had been previously broken, was
completely closed up, adding to the
difficult situation.
A question on the erection Of a
| fence along that side of the school
property was also introduced, but
no action was taken.
! Next on the visitors list was tht
question of closing entirely to thu
public the little irregular triangle'
etc. of land which lie between tht
two property areas. Mr.. Dana
Thomas, 939 Dresden rd., indicated
they might be willing to buy these
little sections. The board indicated
it would consider this proposal
The board also let it be known that
they had no intention of making
a drive through this ground, but
had considered laying walk there.
Next was the complaint that
motorists race across Caledonia
Playground to see "who can get
out first" following ball games or
other entertainment on the lot.
The board was requested to mark
off stalls at the rear of the build
ing, near the driveway, and keep
parking within that space. This
would leave the children's playspot
free from the racing hazard. There
Just would not be sufficient room
for racing from a stall to the
driveway, they held.
The board agreed to check on
this, but at the same time Informed
the property owners that the sum-
Ter playground is operated by
Cleveland Heights. The Local
board employees two of the per-
sonnel.
Going back to the surface water
problem, Mr.. Keith was instructed
to make a check of the situation
contact Cleveland Heights anC
make a report as soon as possible
1t was thought a drain might be
put in to empty into the Ravine
the upper part of which is school,
property.
