November 18th and the public is
invited.
A cast of twelve students will
tell what happened when “We
Shook the Family Tree” from
Hildegarde Dolson’s book of the
same name. It’s a rollicking tale
that goes through three acts with a
cast made up of Lois Rowley,
Bud Lemmerman, Gloria Marvin,

The guest speaker secured for
the Cook Cleland Testimonial din
ner at Shaw High School Friday
evening, November 18 promises to
make of it an interesting evening.
He is Commander Gus Woodhelm
U.S.N. who will fly to the Cleve
land Airport on November 18 in
a P-80 jet propelled plane to at
tend the dinner in honor of his
old flight mate, Cook Cleland.
Commander Woodhelm graduated
from Annapolis Naval Academy in
1932 and became a commander in
1934. He has served on 10 different
air craft carriers and during the
war piloted the famous “Bomb
ing Fool” and was a member of
the “High Hatters.” Commander
Woodhelm has the distinction of
being chosen for the first night
flighter squadron.
The F-4-U Corsair, which Cook
Cleland flys in the Thompson
Trophy race is a familiar plane
to both Commander Woodhelm and
Cook Cleland, who flew Corsairs
when they served together in the
air arm of the Navy.
If Commander Woodhelm can be
induced to reminisce on their fly
ing experiences the Cook Cleland
Dinner will be more than a success.
Be among those present when East
Cleveland honors Cook Cleland. Re
servations may be secured by phon

Election 01 1949 Football Queen
Another high point of the rally
will be a pep speech by Mike
Scarry, Western Reserve Univer
sity football coach and a cheering
session led by the Shaw cheer
leaders. The band, which plays at
all grid games, will provide the
music for the rousing rally.
Corridors throughout the build
ing are gay with poster* and
slogans as six class managers vie
with one another to claim the most
votes for their canoidate. Judging
from the pictures of the six on
display in the main corridor,
selecting the queen will be a diffi
cult balloting gesture, since all are
so lovely.
Slogans were also noted on the
backs of note books, and some of
the students were boosting their
choice for queen by wea-iag a sign
around their neck.
The committee in charge of the
football queen election is Mary
Henry and Dave Baumgartner
while the rally itself is arranged
by Roger Moorhead, Mary Hoff
man, Janet Johnson, Bill Campbell’
