. -Iwntcwl-. ., YE CRUCIBLE EAST HIGH East iiaigifs library East's splendid library which since 1919 has been in the care of Miss Alice L. Morris, has been expanded in its new location and now contains between forty-eight hundred and five thousand books with more coming in frequently. The library is an excellent combination of beauty, utility and pleasure, and ranks with the best high school libraries of the country in its housing and equipment, together with its complete sets of reference books, the best grades of fiction, magazines, and newspapers. Two girls from the Senior class, Miss Hester English and Miss Eliza- beth Kinsell, have served as assistant librarians during the past year. iBhp5ins Bepartment The Physics Department is under the tuition of Walter R. Bailey, who graduated from Otterbein College and later took a post-graduate course at Ohio State University. Mr. Bailey has taught at East High for two years. The number of students taking Physics has so increased that George E. Parkinson was added to the Physics Department. Mr. Parkinson is a graduate of Ohio State University and has been teaching at East for the last five years. New equipment has been supplied to the laboratory during the current year and this splendid research room has enabled the students to do en- larged practical work. Bahia filuh The new East High Radio Club, which was organized shortly after school was opened, has been very 'active during the term. William R. Bailey, head of the Physics department, is the advisor of the organization, Loren Windom, is the presidentg John Hopkins, the vice-president, Robert Conner, the secretary and treasurer, and John Hackenberg, their publicity manager.

East was indeed fortunate in procuring such an eflicient teacher, and the girls have shown their appre- ciation by 334 being enrolled in the department. The work here had not been under way quite a month when the Flag and Field day exercises were held. Here East took her place beside the others with a sword dance given by 120 girls, a very creditable event. The next event of the year's work was the organizing of basketball from which these three teams were formed, the Senior basketball team, with Geraldine Lewis as captain, the Junior team, with Mary Rousculp, and the Sophomore team with Evelyn Boggoss. With the spring season the girls were busy, both in the gym and out with their rackets and tennis ball, which sport brought forth talent along this line as well. Both teachers and pupils were eagerly watching this department grow. On April, a basketball game was held between the women members of the faculty and a picked team among the girls, the money to go toward tennis equipment. g Another spring sport among the girls was baseball. Two teams were organized, the captains of which were Marie Yaeckle and Mary Rousculp. The culmination of year's work was the Physical Education Exhibition which was held the latter part of the school term. It was a great success and showed the work of the pupils during the year, to have been entirely satisfactory to parents, teachers and pupils. , Bupa' Bbpsinal Ciilmnatiun The recently introduced Physical Education Department at East High with Joseph A. Stevens as an instructor, makes compulsory for all boys a thorough physical examination on entrance and a systematized course of instruction and directed sports. Miniature or under-study Western and Ohio Conference basket ball leagues were instituted under Mr. Steven's supervision. Inter-school and inter-class track meets and indoor tennis were scheduled. The introduction of a new remedial Treatment-Training course in the department of physical education at East High School again put Co- lumbus schools in the limelight for progressive educational methods. The two-fold aim of this surgical supplement to the usual athletic de- partment is the early diagnosing and immediate progressive remedying of such common physical defects as curvature of the spine, round shoulders, hollow chest, flat feet, wrong posture, bad walking, under-weight and similar correctable menaces to health.
