I have an old program for a charity football game between West High School and Shaker Heights on Saturday Dec 1 in the old Cleveland municipal stadium.
It doesn't say what year.
Some clues:
Shaker Heights record that year:
SH 27...Berea 6
SH 30...Garfield 0
SH 33...Maple Heights 6
SH 13...Euclid Central 0
SH 34...Bedford 6
SH 35...Euclid Shore 7
SH 26...Cathedral Latin 0
SH 26...Brush 0
SH 7...Ceveland heights 7
Principal is listed as RB Patin
Coach is Carl Brubaker
SH lineup last names
Petrone
Emmert
Mogg
Neuter
Barren
Cassaro
Ackerman
Zackerman
Brooks
Quayle, Jack
Smith
Quayle, Joe
Kimball
Proceeds are for the Give-a-Christmas fund, its sponsored by the Plain Dealer and is for the "plain dealer trophy"
Rep and eternal gratitude for anyone that can help me pin this down to the exact year.

Just based on the Saturday, December 1, it had to be one of these years:
2001 - not it, since the stadium was already gone (it existed from 1931 to 1996)
1990
1984
1979
1973
1962
1956
1951
1945
1934
In 1934, Carl Brubaker of Shaker Heights was president of the OHSFCA (I found that on Google), so that might be the year.
Sorry, I'm not from the Cleveland area.

1934 is a possibility. Brubaker was the head of the Ohio Coaches Association and December 1 was a Saturday.
Sorry I couldn't help more, but 1934 is about 65 years before I went to Shaker.
EDIT: Euclid Shore and Central were rolled into what is now Euclid HS by 1950 at the latest. Thus, we're down to 1934 or 1945. Any ads that would help date the program?

Every year from 1931-1970 the Cleveland City League champion would play another team in the Plain Dealer Charity Game. Your game was on 12/1/1934. It was a 0-0 tie between West and Shaker Hts. Attendance was 25,235. The game stars were Pat Brooks from Shaker and Elmer Gedeon from West.
The biggest game was 1946 - Cathedral Latin beat Holy Name in front of 70,955 fans.
I have a book on the history of Muni Stadium with the scores of every game listed and team photos going back to 1943. Good stuff.
