-.- ivfoicwvi - A - YE CRUCIBLE EAST HIGH 6!East's CEEMEEFJ. 1BbpsinaI fllfhucatiun Bzpartment The girls' Physical Education is a new department at East High under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Savage. 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.

IMGAYGNI YE CRUCIBLE EAST HIGH Ziaume Qlfnunumins Bzpartment The Home Economics Department of East High School is under the competent direction and supervision of Miss Elizabeth Bone and Miss Martha Fleming. In the cooking department 52 girls have been enrolled. Divided into groups of four, the girls serve meals each week under a hostess. Pretty hats and dresses are made by the 125 girls in the sewing department, the display of which is held at the end of each semester. Miss Bone has one homemaking class of 24 girls. One laboratory period a week is held in which the girls make luncheon sets, table covers, dresser scarfs and pillow slips for department use. One of the most interesting features of the department is thepretty little three-roomed apartmnt adjoining, which was furnishd by the home- making class. It consists of a dining room, breakfast room and bedroom with bath adjoining. The dining room is furnished with a walnut Sheraton dining room suite with chairs upholstered in blue leather, and a 54-inch rectangular table and buEet. The bedroom has an ivory bed, table, chairs, ivory chest of drawers and two blue rag rugs which make it a very attractive room. W The breakfast room is of special interest in that it was furnished by the boys of the new Manual Training Department under the supervision of Mr. Brophy. The dining room is both useful and beneficial as through it the pupils learn the art of a finely appointed dinner and the niceties that contribute to its success. The girls learn home nursing through the use of the bedroom, learn how to make beds properly even when the occupant is present and perform other household duties in the best manner. The students showed their interest and enthusiasm by giving a candy sale two months ago, the proceeds of which went towards the purchasing of pictures and bric-a-brac for the apartment. 23
