“and the schedules will be co
ordinated to minimize the incon
venience of transferring. Pass
engers wanting to use the Rapid

NEW LOOK. Here is an architect's rendition of the pro
posed new campus-like look for Shaw High School.
This view is looking north from Terrace rd. Plans are
The price tag on Shaw High School’s campus-like
new look, including 10 additional classrooms and a
new administrative wing was estimated at $105,790.
The Board of Education Monday night authorized the
Conrad & Fleischman architectural firm to develop
a master plan of the Shaw- and
Prospect Elementary School
sites.
The plan was to include a
study of pedestrian and vehicu
lar traffic, outdoor recreation
facilities, building utilization,
overhead connections between
the various Shaw High School
buildings, better utilization of
existing structures and pos
sible new construction.
The long range plan will he
presented to East Cleveland
City officials to determine
whether traffic and fire safety
have been given adequate con
sideration.
Closed bi September
With the Board's action
looms the possibility that Shaw
ave., from Euclid south to Ter
race rd., will he closed to
through traffic by September.
The portion of the street,
how-ever, has net been official
ly vacated by the city, even
though the Board owns all the
homes in this area.
For this development, the
school has on hand some
$350,000 in building funds
which was left over from
money used to build the Korb
Student Center.
According to Superintendent
Harold Nichols, depending on
the availability of additional
funds, the new’ look could he
completed within three years.
Ninth Grade at Shaw
One of the major implications
of the plan includes the moving
□f ninth grade pupils from
Kirk to Shaw High School. The
Board of Education had given
serious consideration to this
move two years ago.
In order to gain an informa
tive and impartial opinion of
the student capacity of the tw’o
school buildings. Dr. M. J. Con
rad, Director of Research and
Services of the Bureau of Edu
cational Research of The Ohio
State University, was requested
to do a capacity study of Shaw
and Kirk Buildings.
Dr. Conrad’s study revealed
that the maximum pupil capa
city of Kirk W’as 1260 and that
special facilities for science,
physical education and music
were inadequate. The addition
of three teacher stations
would increase enrollment ca
pacity to 1400. Enrollment ex
ceeded 1400 the past tw’o years.
Pupils have been housed by
holding class sizes in excess
of 30.
Seven Schools Larger
Only seven junior high
schools in Ohio are larger than
Kirk in terms of enrollment
one in Akron, three in Cincin
nati. two in Cleveland and one
in Parma. Large enrollments
of the junior high agp level
children has not been deemed
advisable. Narrow corridors

A PROUD MOMENT. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Bruce Williams
admire the Eagle Scout badge pinned on their 12-year
old son, Robert, at ceremonies Tuesday night in Cale
donia School. Bob became the first Eagle Scout of Troop

to attain this rank. Awarding of the coveted rank was
especially thrilling to Mr. Williams because he is an
Eagle Scout himself. The father is a retired army officer
end presently teaches at Kirk. The Williams live at 1051

Heights Snaps Shaw's
Long Victory Streak
The Shaw Cardinals’ seven-,
game winning string was snap
ped last Friday on a solid ef
fort by the Cleveland Heights
Tigers, 84-79.
Heights, hitting 48 per cent
from the floor, still had to
scramble for its fourth straight
win over the Cards in two years.
In the first half, the Tigers
built up a 35-27 advantage after
two Shaw starters ran into
trouble with fouls.
Sophomore Chris Wood led
the assault, scoring 13 points.
The third period saw little
difference—although the lead at
one time was cut to three
points, it stood at six at the
end of the quarter.
Smalley Hits
Then Shaw's Jim Smalley
started to hit, and the edge was
reduced to one point. With time
growing short Heights still
held on to a 78-77 lead.
They withstood the final
Cardinals’ challenge to hand
the Redbirds their first LEL
defeat in their last six con
tests.
A great effort by Smalley,
who netted Shaw’s last 12
points and totaled 18 for the
fourth quarter, was the bright
est spot for the home croud.
He had 31 for the night, the
second time this season Jim
has topped 30. and also picked
up 13 rebounds. Mike Males
Ii’1f,
and Fat Visci hit 30 more be
tween them.
20 Pointers Are Pacers
Heights was paced r»y a pair
of 20-point performances, from
Harris Melsher and John Roos*.
Wood added 15 markers, and
Melsher led the rebounding
with 11.
Valley Forge's Patriots in
vaded Shaw the next night, and
it didn't take long to find out
that this was a different team
from the one the Cardinals had
previously defeated by more
than 49 points.
Valley Forge took the ad
vantage late in the first quar
ter at 14-13, built it to 35-29 at
the intermission, and held on
until Shaw rallied late in the
third quarter.
Pat Visci stole the ball and
drove in to regain the lead »t
44-43 with about 1:30 to go
in the third period. He also
scored at the buzzer for a 47-45
quarter advantage.
The Patriots kept fighting,
though, and with about two
