Dear?Editor

On Sunday, May 2 Shadyside Student Council honored more than 100 students in grades 9-12 who have excelled academically over this past school year. The students had to be on the honor roll for the first three nine weeks in order to be eligible for this banquet. John “Gizzle” Ciszewski was the guest speaker. He is a 1973 graduate of Shadyside High School. Giz was with the Detroit Pistons for more than 30 years and is now with the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers. I would like to thank Mr. John Ciszewski for coming back and doing such a wonderful job at our banquet. I would also like to thank the following sponsors.

Melanko, Attorney Tom Ryncarz, Bauknecht-Altmeyer Funeral Home & Crematory, Carlini’s Pizza, Central Grille, Dr. Pat Long, Don Wild Insurance/ Motorist Mutual, First Christian Church, Home Town Hair, Kucera Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, Lincoln Avenue United Methodist Church, Lytton Sanitation Service, New Life Fellowship Church, PKS Innovations, Paul Krajnyak, Reisbeck Food Markets, Shadyside Dairy Queen, Shadyside Ladies’ Civic Club, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Fr.
