ORDER OF THE BOOKS Book IV: From the Sidelines Though the first teams gave good accounts of themselves, it remained for the sophomore and sec- ond teams to garner top honors in both football and basketball. Tennis and swimming were noteworthy as Angel teams brought home championships. East sports of 1938 were outstanding in the many indi- vidual stars that were produced in all branches of sport. Book V: After School A socially bright year was 1938, made so by the numerous dances, mountain outings and teas given by East's numerous clubs. Notable features of the dances were the conspicuous absence of corsages, which Mrs. Anderson, mothers and girls decided early in the season were too expensive for escorts' purses; and the conspicuous presence of the Big Apple plus its components: trucking, pecking, the suzy-q and the shag. Teas brought mothers to school to be served refreshments by student daughters, to have friendly chats with pedagogues. Book VI: American Youth of 1938 Streamlined? Yes, and speedy, too. Never was there a generation more up to date than the Ameri- can youth of 1938. Able exponents of the Angelus theme, Today I build for oil tomorrow, 1938 Angels realize the many advantages East offers; ore quicker than ever to take advantage of them for future achievements. Not forgetting, of course, to take time out from their studying to date, dance, laugh, joke.

ORDER OE THE BOOKS Book I: Curriculum The major changes of 1938 that have been ef- fected by the guiding educational lights headed by Mr. Hill and aided by new and old students alike, have been the widening of the scope of the courses of pro- gressive education, the eight-year educational experi- ment, and the introduction of two new courses; one, Physical Science, is a study of the basic principles of both physics and chemistry; the other, Art Craft, gives to students the opportunity to enliven their homes and clothing with clever, useful articles. Book II: Over the Footlights One of the chief sources of recreation for Angels lies in the auditorium programs. Besides the numer- ous pep-meetings at which cheer-leaders were given their chance to shake the walls, 1938 saw a brilliant array of auditorium presentations, among them the Big Broadcast; the operetta, Rosamund; the senior class play; and many speakers. In addition, movies were presented regularly. Book 111: Participation 1938 saw significant advances made in all fields. The R.O.T.C. reported a record enrollment. The school publications moved ahead; the Angelus received Pace- maker and Gold Medal awards; the Spotlight was All- American as usual, and showed financial success as a result of record sales; the Scriptbook gave to East the last word in the efforts of Angel literati. The Stu- dent Council promoted the Big Broadcast, Red and White Day, purchase of A Cappella uniforms, and school welfare. And in the contest field, Woodbury, Wolcott, and Shafroth attracted interested audiences; Kiwanis effected a change of pace by sponsoring an inter-school panel discussion.

Three thousand students spend three years of their lives working, studying, playing in and around the influence of East. In this great educational plant students study; they dance; they write for school publications; they act on the audi- torium stage; some lead, but the most follow. Out of school and into a complex world they go following their nat- ural bent; some will continue to feel school influence; some will continue to study; the most will write and act and play as they did in school. There will be leaders, too, but mostly there will be follow- ers. Truly then they build today for all tomorrow.
