will allow the Cardinals to play
this final 1860 gridiron contest.
That we all are not tumbling
through eternal space or lying
crushed among earthquake
wrough debris is nothing less
than amazing after the Cardi-
nails humiliating defeat at the
hands of Shaker Hts. last week.
OF course, the loss was more
bitter to take since it elimi-
mated the East Clevelanders
from the Lake Erie title race.
In fact it allowed Parma to
claim the coveted crown
through the back door method.
The gallant Cardinals went
down to their first defeat in
their last, 10 games as they
were upset by the determined
Red Raiders 80 to % last Fri
day at Shaw Stadium.
Playing flawless football
throughout, the Shaker team
could do no wrong as they con-
stantly fought back and finally
took the thriller by a tremen-'
dous display Of offensive
power.
The upset cost Shaw the title
as it's 3-1A record left them in
second place behind the Parma
Redmen who finished league
play with a Al mark.
However, a victory against
the Barberton team tomorrow
night will assure the Redbirds
of their best season since 1857
when they compiled q 81
record.
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1960-11-10

Barberton's record is II
with it's only loss being to
Akron st. Vincent. The Magics
have a well-balanced winged-T
attack with the two halfbacks
being special delivery mail
carriers.
The Magic line is not as big
as Shaw has been used to, but
scouts report it is quite agile.
At any rate, the game tomor-
row will be just that. With no
title to seek or pressure in
volved, the Shaw players might
well enjoy the contest - win,
lose - or draw.

Age Study
To Be Asked
Of Board

The East Cleveland Board of
Education when it meets Mon
day night will be asked to al
low an entrance age study"
to determine the feasibility of
changing the birthday date Of
youngsters starting school.
AS it is now, if child will
be five on or before Dec. 31st,
he or she can start kindergar-
ten in the June session prior
to that date.
Supt. Nichols related he
wants to study to determine if
it would be wise to move up
the latest date a youngster can
be five and still start school to
Oct. 1st.
He poined out that prelimi-
nary studies have given some
evidence that IS per cent of
failures in elementary schools
were pupils who started when
they were close to four and
half years old.
THAT three months differ
ence could we'll be extremely
important in the development
of most children" he explained.
He further stated that as far
as his investigation goes, re-
ports indicate that a child
doesn't normally develop the
eye conception needed for read
ing until he is fairly close 10
five years of age.
DR.. Nichol. said further stud
les on this would not be con-
Quoted unless the board grant
ed official approval.
At Monday nights meeting
in the board office, the school
officials also will be asked to
allow the following to attend
the meetings:

their packers an additional re-
ward.
Since we have mentioned
Sarah and John Shaw, it might
be feasible at this time to reIive
their period in history.
One hundred and fifty years
ago Sarah McIlrath and John
Shaw were two young people of
the seven first families to settle
in the area which is now East
Cleveland.
The land was covered by trees
as far as the eye could see.
In order to prosper the pio-
neers had to farm. In order to
farm, trees had to come down,
and roots had to come out.
With a minimum number of
implements, crops had to be
planted, cultivated, harvested
and sold.
John Shaw was one of the
young, first pioneers who
worked hard and long hours to
make this city a thriving COM
munity.
In addition to his farm labor
he felt that he must work also
to educate the minds Of the
younger people.
Taught At Night
So, in the evenings, and dur
ing the cold of the long winter
months he taught lessons to
the community children.
Soon he and Sarah McIlrath
fell in love and were married.
When no children came to bless
their union their interests and
affections and their energies
went to prosper their COM
munity.
When he was nearing so
years of age, John Shaw made
his will, with a provision for
80 acres Of land and cash to
$4,000 to build a good school.
A year later her died. Three
years later Shaw Academy was
built, on the site where now
stands Shaw High School.
The side street was then
called Prospect, and only later
was its name changed to Shaw
ave.
A two-story, white frame
building with a fine, white
picket fence bordering it's lawn,
the school offered education in
elementary subjects, in mechan-
les, in farming, in preparation
for merchants and for college.
Not For Free
No, it was not a free public
school. A free school was not
to be had in the area at this
time.
Fees were SO a term for the
primary classes, 81 for the ad-
vanced classes, and S5 for
classes in Latin and Greek.
Terms were for IL weeks,
with four terms scheduled in
the year.
Youngsters who came from
long distances, such as Medina,
Newburg Heights, Paniesville,
were boarded. 1t was a good
school. It prospered and it grew.
1t was faithful to the communi-
| ty to which John and Sarah
Shaw had entrusted their
wealth.

Ward 44O3 for; 745

Ward 5 (three precincts in
Cleveland Hts.) 1,709 for; 407

In tabulating East Cleveland
figures, two interesting points
arise.
First, the percentage of peo-
pie registered to vote that did
cast school ballots was close to
I73 per cent. This is far above
the national average of people
who have and exercise this
sacred privilege.
1t, however, does not give
the complete picture, inasmuch
as there more than likely were
some who voted but not on the
school issue. The complete pic
Iture of the total amount of
residents who voted in this
dramatic election were not
available at press time.
The other interesting fact is
in the total vote for the school
issue. 1t is more remarkable
when linked with the statistical
data that 66 per cent of he
registered voters do not have
children in the East Cleveland
school system.
''Good Testimony"
Like School Supt. Harold
Nichols says, "It most certainly
is a testimony to a good COM
munity."
DR.. Nichols, who has been in
the school business for more
than % years also states the
margin of victory for the re-
newal levy here was the high
est he has encountered in his
professional career.
He further pointed out it
was probably the most decisive
victory Of any issue in the
state Of Ohio.
While DR.. Nichols and other
school officials are mighty
pleased with their achievement,
they certainly have not for
gotten those who have worked
so hard for the passage OF the
renewal levy.
Thanks from the school
board is now going out to all
PTA groups and the local
League Of Women Voters.
In a letter to PTA presidents
that was Hlt in the mail today,
DR.. NichoN commented:
"We are most grateful to
you and your PTA members
for the fine job of levy infor-
nation distribution.
81 have not heard Of higher
favorable percentage vote any
where in the State of Ohio.
This latest effort was the
largest favorable school vote
in the history Of the COM
munity. AS / have stated many
times, East Cleveland is a diff
ferent community than most.
1t has evidenced proof of its
support of value items over the
years.
Thanks again for your CO.
operation"
