Wkgbb X rt i f Surel everyone agrees with the statement that without a capable faculty there cannot be a satisfactory school. The students of East High believe that they are especially fortunate in having as guides well prepared, sympathetic teachers. Although the program of the school has had to be somewhat curtailed, the curriculum still includes the essentials of a fine academic and cultural training. This February Miss Margaret Steketee came to East as art supervisor. Already she has made a place for herself. The Interlochen staff are especially grateful to her. Although the commercial department has suffered somewhat from necessary readjustment, East still offers typing. Miss Willamena Ribhink is not only an excellent teacher of typing but also a co-sponsor, with Miss Helen Dcjonge, of Hobby Club. 'h t 'th its nouns verbs and reading certificates is guided by a large corps of teachers. Mrs. Virginia The Englis Departmcn, wi , , . , Blanchard starts us on our first junior high school English adventures. Miss Ula Martindale gives us a grammar and composition background and takes us with Ulysses on his travels. Miss Martindale also is the Earl W'fnd adviser. Miss Lois Waterman has the sophomore and senior English classes. We are given figures of speech, more grammar, rhetoric, English Literature, and all of that sort of thing, you know. For the ' s 'n her session room Miss Waterman has a real feeling of friendship, which continues long after their graduation. Miss Ernestine senior 1 , Anderson teaches our own Americans, Bryant, Poe, and Teasdale, as well as essays and punctuation. Since she also teaches public speaking, we . . . . . . b M are able to quote without hesitation Thanafopfl-H fb' Rfwffh and Tren. As adviser for the junior class, Miss Anderson has ecome a ma er in helping the juniors make money enough to give the seniors a real junior-Senior Reception. ' ' ' ' ' ' d ' t lasses are alwa u Our Home Economics students have Miss Evelyn Wire as instructor. Her domestic science and omcstic ar c y crowded with those who desire to know more about home making. The boys are now having a try at it, too. ' ' ' hl ' d Mrs. Olive McCauley, Mr. Stanlev McBride, seventh grade session room teacher and Faculty Business Manager of At etics, an freshman adviser, guide the destinies of the junior high students in arithmetic and algebra. Then in senior high Miss Helen De-Ionge h h s ssi n room and patiently initiates the presents geometry, algebra Ill, and trigonometry. Miss Dejonge also has charge of t e sop omore e. o East students into senior high school life. East offers two languages, an ancient and a modern. Mr. Edwin ay or, rincip , NNri ht est une tres bonne maitresse de francais. Elle est aussi conseillere de la Portia Literary Society. F Physical Education for girls is directed at East by Miss Edith Ewald, whose many original ideas make her classes interesting. She W CA C h W t an encourages outside competition and this year we have had basketball and volleyball games with Marywood and the Y. . . . oac a erm Y starts training the boys for various sports as soon as they can hold a ball. He has directed the senior boys from the time they were in the ' ' ' ' ' am ionshi track football and lower grades. Coach says that the early training of these boys is one of the reasons for the past years ch p p , , T l P' ' al of junior High teaches Latin. Madamoisellc basketball teams. Nature hikes with their snakes, angle-worms, and toads help to make Mr. james llifl s biology classes especially popular with the boys and the more daring of the girls. Mr. Lynn Clark, in his chemistry and physics classes, replaces the hikes with tours through the Gas ' ' ' l ' t'fi ll minded. Oh no! Music is near Plant, the Telephone Company, and the Sugar Beet Factory. But dont think Mr. Clark is on y scien i ca y his heart. The social science instructors are numerous. Mr. Freburn James, the eighth grade session room teacher, gives instruction in United d d S. - H' t and Michi an Government. He is well knovun by the senior high school students as Hi-Y sponsor. This past year Mo ern an tatts IS ory g Ancient History have been combined into a new course, World History, which Miss Helen Dejonge and Mr. Ray Japinga teach. Mr. . . . . h U . d I ' a is also librarian and keeps the library a place of quiet for students who desire to study. In our junior year we are taug t nite g apmg . States History by Miss Audrey Wright and Mr. japinga. Our senior year we study civics under Mr. Stanton E. Ellett. We are lucky to have d one so well informed for instructor as Mr. Ellett. It was through his influence that the state passed a law requiring all high school stu ents to complete at least one semester of civil government. To round out our social science division of the curriculum, East offers physical geography, commercial law and economics. Mr. Walter Scharmack teaches these as well as instructing the manual training classes, whose latest accom- ! plishment has been the building of the log cabin. This cabin is being built to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the first school for white children in the Grand River Valley. In addition to junior and senior ig sc oo s t ere are wo g Miss Emma Doerr give these sixth graders a thorough foundation for the junior high work. To all of these teachers who are guiding us we wish to express our gratitude, for we realize that teaching any students, even East High students, takes patience and skill. h' h h 1 h t sixth rade rooms in the high school building.
