Remember This !?

Shaw football teams have not
always confined their playing to
the famed Lake Erie League. and
their close neighboring teams, out
side of the League. Back in 1928
it played what is still its most
distant opponent, the Salem High
School of Salem, Mass.
That year the crack Shaw High
football team had beaten every
team it faced in Cleveland, and in
addition had soundly trounced
Detroit Northern, winner of every
thing in sight in the Detroit area.
Then came rumors of another
champion team, the Salem Mass
High eleven, star in all New Eng
land. Sure of its self. Shaw invited
Salem to come to East Cleveland.
1t accepted the invitation. 1t re-
turned home with the short end of
26-0 score.

Renewal of 4.4 Levy

For the first time in many years,
possibly ever, East Cleveland cleo
tors are being asked to vote on
three school issues at the Game
election. When they go to the poles
on Tuesday, November 5th, they
will be given the opportunity to
express their personal opinion on:
/. Renewal Of the a. mill levy
which expires this year.
z. Election of two school board
members.
3. A proposed $1,750,o0 build
ing bond issue.
Each of these three items is
important to the continuance of the
high standard of education which
has so far marked the East Cleve-
land Schools. There must be funds
with which to operate; there must
be qualified administration; there
must be buildings ample to accomo-
date curriculms being expanded to
keep pace with today's educational
requirements.

LOTUS Recalls
Football Events

Last weeks Shaw victory was
just as big a thrill TO me as was
the first victory l experienced in
/ 1886 as a coach at Shaw So de-
clared Marty LOTUS, for three
years a Cardinal coach an / always
a staunch supporter of the schools
football team.
81 am always proud of Shaw"
/ said Marty. For instance, at Open
! House last Thursday | saw many
of my former students visiting
their children's teachers, all equally
as proud Of Shaw today as were
their parents Il years ago and
many of their grandparents years
before that. This Shaw spirit is
something of which the school and
the community can always be
proud.
''In l949, after passing the state
board to be licensed to practice
optometry, | was faced with the
decision as to Where l should
establish my practice. have never
regretted the decision to return to
East Cleveland and its good schools
for my children"
When asked for few highlights
of his coaching years on the Shaw
gridiron, DR.. Lotus mused a
moment then replied with zest:
Jerry Cadiou going AZ yards to
score on the third play of the game
against Akron East in our first
game at Shaw Stadium in 1886.
The 1885 Shaw team had lost every
game and had not scored point.
"Then there was that first night
game in Greater Cleveland, on our
illuminated field, opening with
East.
"There was the 27-27 tie with
Lorain in 1899; the 81 record of
1914; Johnnie Davis tackle of
Corbin in the Warren game of 1945.
And not the least such stalwarts
as Bob Tresch, Dick Palmer, Bob
Harris, Bill keenan,, Jerry Gould,
Howie Wolfgram, Bob Gaudio, Jack
Shaw, Jim Farrar, John North, and
others too numerous to mention,
all helping to make my years at
Shaw, years to remember for ever.
"And as for the thrill of seeing
many of the same people at games
now as attended in 1886, with Shaw
graduates by the hundreds coming
back to Shaw Stadium many Fri
day evenings each Fall, what other
school has such loyalty.?"
AS a last comment Marty recog-
nized the work of Coach Leo Strang
and his staff "now giving us the
best High School football in Ohio,
and richly deserving the support
we are giving them"
