To ascertain how many of its
graduates attend college and the
type of college in which they are
interested, with a view of shaping
its guidance program, Wayne C.
Blough, principal of Shaw High
School has just completed an inter
esting and helpful survey.
Normally, explains Mr. Blough,
a
college does not notify a high
school of the enrollment of a gradu
ate. To get the desired information
a form was prepared and a copy
of it sent to each college to which
a
student’s transcript had been
sent. The returns show that 114,
or 33%, of the 345 January-June
.1949 graduates are enrolled as
freshmen as of September, 1949.
The information will be helpful,
primarily, in determining the type
of guidance needed in the school.
It is expected to make of this sur
vey a yearly routine.
In announcing the results of the
survey, Mr. Blough makes it clear
that any omission is due to the
college’s failure to return the form
mailed to them. The following list
of the college and the SHS 1949
graduates enrolled there is made
up from the returned forms.
Baldwin Wallace College—Fred
Thomas, Harriet Williams.
Bowling Green University- Ron
Johnson, Victor Peterson, Ellen
Pasco, Carol Thut.

Yummy
golden brown, comes the pumpkin
pie which Dick Fort, Al Gray and
Bill Nelson (front) prepared. At
tracted by its spicy fragrance
(back) Dick Geiger, Dick Hender
son and Karl Kramp crowd around
for a look at the pie, without which
a Thanksgiving dinner is hardly
complete.
“What’s Thanksgiving without
pumpkin pie ?M ask the boys in
Shaw’s newest class, foods for boys.
Here Dick Henderson carefully
trims that extra bit of dough from
one of the pies which the boys
prepared as a Thanksgiving delica
cy. Watching are Bill Nelson, Al
Gray, Karl Kramp and Harley
Knopf.
All the delicious foods with those
tantalizing odors which come from
the recently streamlined kitchen at
Shaw High School is not the work
of the girls. Oh, no. The boys are
studying there, too.
This new elective with fuH credit
for a year’s course is due to Harley
■Knopf, one of the seven boys whe
make up the first class in foods
offered the boys. Harley enjoys
cooking and baking. In fact,
plans to teach it one day al
with woodworking. He had a
of it at Kirk Junior High and w
disappointed to learn, upon enter
ing Shaw, that for some reason oi
,other it vras not included in the
curriculum.
Harley took the question up wftb
the powers that be and learned the
subject would be offered if a suf
ficient number of boys were inter
ested—with the result that seven
Shaw seniors are learning about
foods, under Miss Lucille Provo,
who teaches this course at Shaw.
In the class are Harley, Dick Fort,
Dick Geiger. Al Gray, Dick Hender
son, Karl Kramp and Bill Nelson.
The class includes menu plan
ning, marketing, care of the kit
chen, table setting and serving,
with special attention to baking
and meat preparation. A text book
is also used.
Speaking of “care of the kitchen”
Miss Provo says the boys are
actually fussy about having every
thing in shipshape order. Any
utensil out of place or put away
with the least bit of grease or
daugh on it, brings forth com
ments a-plenty.
Today the boys are preparing
themselves a Thanksgiving dinner,
complete with roast chicken and
all the trimmings, including the
delicious pies shown in the ac
companying picture. Come Christ
mas, the boys will prepare the
canapes and make the cookies for
the tea which the Home Economic
department is giving for the
faculty.
Fruit cakes are being baked for
Christmas, gift boxes containing
cake, cookies and candies being in
the mind of the chefs.
Earlier, the class canned several
kinds of fruit. When it comes to a
breatkfast to start the day off
right, the boys proved tops with
pancakes, waffles or muffins, and
the grapefruit prepared just right.
Earl Kramp was in mess while
in service and Dick Henderson’s
out-of-school job keeps him busy
in the kitchen at Owen’s Planta
tion. All the boys take a hand now
and then at home, they say.
It’s a safe prediction that these
seven boys will look back on their
cooking class at Shaw as one of
their most practical high school
subjects and one might also
be safe in predicting that the boys
who follow in their Foods classes
will be grateful to these seven pio
neers.

Need To Give Thanks Finds
Expression In Thanksgiving
Services la City's Churches
In services of praise and thanks
giving, with sermon and music and
responses e o i n the theme,
churches of the city prepare to
observe the nation’s day set apart
annually on which to give thanks.
•Thanksgiving Day is this Thurs
day.
Churches everywhere are urging
all to attend church somewhere
during the Thanksgiving season.
America has more for which to be
thankful than any nation on the
face of the globe, and the churches
should be crowded with its grateful
citizens.
Announced is the usual union
service under the auspices of the
East Cleveland Ministerial Associ
ation. This service, to be held Wed
nesday evening, November 2»3rd in
First Presbyterian church, Euclid
at Nela aves., is one of the high
lights of the co-operative spirit
which prevails among the churches
of East Cleveland. Rev. Dudley
Uphoff, new pastor at the Phillips
Avenue Presbyterian church will
bring the message.
The Order of Service will be as
follows:
“Oh give thanks unto the Lord,
for he is good his mercy endureth
forever and ever.”

Thank Merchants
For Their Support
Totaling up earnings from their
Country Store which they operated
at the recent Superior PT A party,
the Mothers Study Club of the
school were surprised to find they
had made §128.30. And for this
they give thanks to all merchants
who contributed to their store.
Members' of this group are the
mothers of the children in the
Deaf and Hard of Hearing class
es. Because their problems are dif
ferent from those of other moth
ers they conduct their own meet
ings, while retaining membership
in the school’s PTA Uni^t.
There are 88 children in four
classes, eight of the enrollees
coming from East Cleveland and
the other children from surround
ing communities. Support for this
specialized teaching comes from
the State Department of Educa
tion and the local school board.
This year there is a half-day ses
sion class for the very youngest
children, they may come at the
age of three, and three all-day
classes.
The money earned by the Moth
ers Club will be used to supply
aditional equipment, and also to
pay for the little kitchen they have
set up in the school wherein to
prepare hot lunches for these chil
dren. No allowance is made by
either the state or the local school
district for lunchroom equipment.
Mrs. Vernon Burt of Bay Village
is the club president.

It9s Time To Start Shopping'
The past few days we’ve been nosing around in the
stores of the comniunity looking for ideas for our
Christmas gift list. Shopping this year is a cinch.
There ade more doodads on the market than ever
before and the stores are loaded. Not only with doodads
but with plenty of nearly everything anyone could pos
sibly want. The “substitute” days are over and the stuff
displayed is the “real goods’*, with no apologies.
We dropped in and “shopped” at furniture stores,
appliance stores, men’s shops, and even took a furtive
peek into, those places where everything has a silky
look and is lace trimmed.
And, the gadgets they have thought up to amuse the
youngsters. We weren’t born thirty years too soon, far
from it—nearly fifty.
We aren’t going to urge you to rush right out today
and do your Christmas shopping. But. we do advise that
you get going soon. Stocks are plentiful, but it is a lot
more fun shopping when the counters are piled high.
Keep an eye on the inside pages from now to
Christmas, and we’ll bet you’ll agree with us, that you
can do just as well or better in the neighborhood stores—
and no transportation or parking problems.

Thank You
The ‘East Cleveland Leader
has much for which to be thank
ful this Thanksgiving time, and
highest on the list is the sup
port and the co-operation being
given it by the citizens of East
Cleveland. A splendid example
of this co-operation was demon
strated for this issue as public
ity chairmen and others an
swered our appeal for “Copy
Early’* by sending in their ma
terial early. It means a holi
day at home for all the staff.
We add, that the Leader ie
your paper. It is trying to keep
you informed on the happenings
in your own community. How
well it succeeds in this single
endeavor is in proportion to the
support it receives, week to
week, from those it would serve.
As we give thanks this
Thanksgiving Day may we have
a prayer for the privilege of liv
ing in America.

Await Their First American Thanksgiving
/.•: Ik

Thursday is Thanksgiving Day
and probably no other three per
sons in East Cleveland will be so
eager to, raise their voices in praise
as Dr. Vilis Nagelis, his lovely
wife, Ksenija, and her mother, Mrs.
Varvara Veismanis. That their
first American holiday is a day in
which to give thanks is a joy to
this Latvian family. They feel they
have so much for which to be
thankful.
The family, which includes also
smiling Aija, 7, and blond Egils,
2, are among the recent displaced
persons coming for sanctuary in
America. Until they are located in
a home of their own, they are the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Isley,
1848 Chapman ave. The Isley’s are
active in the East Cleveland Bap
tist church, through whose assis
tance the family came to Cleve
land.
While they have been here but
two weeks, things have moved in a
typical American fashion—fast. Dr.
Nagelis and his wife and mother
in-law have aTi’eady applied for
their first citizenship papers and
Dr. Nagelis is working at Huron
Road Hospital. As soon as his
first papers’come through, he plans
to take the Ohio State Medical
Board examination and receive his
license to follow, on his own, his
profession of physician and sur
geon.
A graduate of the University of
Riga, Dr. Nagelis was practising
in that city war came. Germany
offered Latvian able-bodied the
choice of joining the army or
going into Germany, with their
families. The doctor chose to go
to Germany and they made a hur
ried exit from Latvia. From then
until War’s end he worked in hos
pitals in Germany and Czechoslo
vakia. Since then he has been as
sociated with UNRA and the Inter
national Refugee Organization. It
has been four long years since he
first sought entrance into America,
but the lists are long, so long. His
brother finally got, into South
America.
Dr. Nagelis speaks English well.
He learned the language in his
contacts with Americans in Ger
many after the war.
Little Aija, who attended school
last year in Germany, is now a new
beginning pupil a,t Prospect School,
and likes it. She is eager to
learn the English language so she
can talk with her school mates.
Eglis, who was born in Germany,
doesn’t know what all this moving
about is about—he just smiles.
The family is a little awed at
the size of Cleveland. Riga, the
gay Latvian metropolis, had a pop
ulation of 40,000 when they were
there before the war brought such
change and suffering. But they are
certain of one thing, that here, in
free America, they will find happi
ness and work. It is because of this
and their gratitude to the congre
gation which has made this possi
ble, that they will be giving thanks
on Thanksgiving Day.

Too seldom does a community
gather round and let a fellow cit

for what he is, and how much they
admire him for what he has ac

and happy experience which came
last Friday night to Cook Cleland,
product of East Cleveland’s pub
lic schools and Y MCA, twice win
ner of the Thompson trophy in the
National Air Races.
The dinner was served in Shaw
Cafeteria.
Sponsored ny the East Cleveland
YMCA where Mr. Cleland has re

the dinner was attended by 266
local and former local residents
and other friends who presented
him with a water color of the Cor

by the Cleveland artist, Quenton
Young, the picture portrays Cook’s
plane circling a pylon at the race.
Too overcome for words, bnt
with a smile that clearly showed
his pleasure at the gift, Mr. Cle

thankful,” and sat down.
Toastmaster Curtiss Lee Smith,
vice president of Greater Cleve
