O pioneers! On and on the compact ranks, With accessions ever waiting, with the places of the dead quickly fill'd, Through the battle, through defeat, moving yet and never stopping, Pioneers! O pioneers! Have the elder races halted? Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied over there beyond the seas? We take up the task eternal, and the burden and the lesson, Pioneers! O pioneers! Life's involv'd and varied pageants, All the forms and shows, all the workmen at their work, All the seamen and the landsmen, all the masters with their slaves, Pioneers! O pioneers! These are of us, they are with us, All for primal needed work, while the followers there in embryo wait behind, We to-day's procession heading, we the route for travel clearing. Pioneers!

With graduation and the presentation of the Interlochen on Class Night, memories of the past year become vivid in our minds, to remain there as long as there is an Interlochen to recall classmates, teachers, and important events.

In the fall a special music assembly was pre- sented to the students. The band performed be- tween halves of all home games. On Band Day our band marched at the half of the University of Michi- gan-Tulane football game. It was also selected to perform at the Teachers' Convention in October. Opening the winter season, the Mixed Chorus entertained at the Kent County Teachers' Associa- tion Banquet and was included in the Grand Rapids' Symphony Christmas Concert. The East High Christmas Concert was given entirely by the vocal department. The Winter Band Concert, presented my the instrumental department, terminated the winter season. During the spring, the department spent many hours in preparation for the Grand Valley Vocal and Band Festival, District Instrumental Festival, and the Distrcit Vocal Festival with Solo, Ensemble, and Chorus selections. The annual Spring Concert was given with great success. Scholarships to Camp Interlochen, three given by the Band Booster's Club and two by the P.T.A., were awarded students of the Music Department. Mr. Kingsbury is the director of the orchestra, which played for the National Honor Society As- sembly.

Grand Valley Co-Champs The Pioneer football team ended the 1953 season in a three way tie for the Grand Valley champion- ship. An early season loss to Godwin and a tie with Lee seemed to ruin our chances for victory, but the team, made up largely of veteran seniors, had the drive and determination to Eght for every game. Coach Schiller, ably assisted by Coach Stubbs and, for a few weeks, Bill Durkee, showed the team how to use the single wing and the split T offense. Co-captains Jim Clay and John Jones, with seniors Gary Verhey, Ken Karlzen, and Sandy Beerbohm, plus the juniors Glen Young and Dave Leavenworth led the ball carriers through the line to victory. Without a forward wall of such stalwarts as Kevin Mulvihill, Mike Jacobson, George Douse, Tom Jones, Bob Eleveld, Dick Moser, Phil Chamberlain, Orv Bliss, and Ray Becker opening holes in the opposition's lines, East would have been stopped short of the championship. Our football team also had an outstanding sophomore fullback, Rocky Tonkel, who made All-Conference honors. Other post-season awards went to All-Conference players Bob Eleveld, Kevin Mulvihill, and Mike Jacobson. The latter also was chosen as East's most valuable player. George Douse was elected as the Most Improved player. The young Pioneers finished second in the Re-- serve Football League on the basis of their record of five wins and one loss. Mr. Kuta served as their coach. Second Team Football First row: Manager D. Jones, D. Petrick, D. Mehney, B. Fishman, G. Wixom, T. Halstead, Coach Kuta. Second row: B. Lee, J. Fowler, B. Goodspeed, S.

Coached by Carl Schiller, the 1953-54 squad tied Godwin for second place in the Grand Valley Conference. The team finished the season with a 10-9 record, losing most of their games at the start of the season. At mid-season, the Pioneers changed from a zone to a man-to-man defense. Helped by the improve- ment of several boys such as Rocky Tonkel and Roger Blackport, a new spirit was instilled in the team. These factors influenced the late season surge and resulted in the District Championship. The 1953-54 team, paced by John Jones, used a fast-breaking offense. Jones in the Rockford game tied Dave Nash's 1950 individual scoring record of 30 points. Jones was also honored by being selected on both the Herald and the Press All-Conference teams. Coach Kuta's second team won the Grand Valley reserve title for the second consecutive year. Dur- ing the past season Coach Kuta's team won fifteen games While losing only one. The excellent second team players will play varsity ball next year, and they should carry on East's excellent winning tradition. Second Team Basketball Kneeling: Coach Kuta, Mgr. B. Shade.

You have worked through the week, with no time for play. . l u You've swum hundreds of miles in that chlorine pool, And you didn't complain when the water was cool. You've kicked laps, you'1'e pulled laps, and I s'pose even floated, No wonder, when finished, you felt a bit bloated! You've swum long races, short races, then you've swum more, No surprise you won State by such a large score! The All-American, the star of your team, Is a man we all hold in our highest esteem. Responsible for East's pride, fortune, and fame, Of course, you all know, Coach Stubbs is his name. So to you we give honor, our great swimming team, Who have brought our school trophies which glitter and gleam. A team which has won seven championships straight, We hope that next year it will be number eight. Pioneers! O, Pioneers, we're all very proud, We sing to you praises triumphant and loud.

Karlzen, Pioneer Tbinclacls Capture Valley Crown Under the guidance of Coach Waterman, the 1953 track team won full claim to the Grand Valley Track crown on the basis of an undefeated dual season and a second in the Conference Meet, losing out to Grandville by only one point. The Pioneers captured a second in the Regional Track Meet, bow- ing again to Grandville by one and one-sixth of a point. East's success can be attributed to depth in most events, since sixty-three boys were members of the team. For that reason there were no outstanding stars, although Mulvihill in the shotput and T. Jones in the 880 consistently won their events. In the Regional Meet, besides Hrsts by Mulvihill, Luce. Beerbohm, and T. Jones, victories were won by the medley relay team of J. Jones, Karlzen, Ver- hey, and Sheldon and by the 880 relay team of Ver- hey, Karlzen, Beerbohm, and Luce. R. Kallinger, S. Beerbohm, and J. Rose register for the 100 yard dash.

With Don Winterhalter, Bob Bonfield, Ham Stone, and John Bosma filling the state meet positions, the team finished thirteenth in the state finals with 184 points. In the dual meets with the city schools, East won one and lost eight. Win Valley Tennis Title The Tennis Team won the Grand Valley Cham ionship for the fourth consecutive year.

Varsity Club The Varsity Club is a service organization com-- posed of major varsity letter winners.
