PerspiraTion Tlowed mosT copiously Trom ThaT secTion in which saT eighTy-six EasT High School graduaTes. Nervous whispers came Trorn The corners oT drawn mouThs. Tenseness permeaTed The aTmosphere. A slighT relieT was TelT when The sTudenTs ioined in The sTrains oT songs ThaT paTienT music Teachers had drilled inTo noT Too recepTive brains. Then came The crisis-one by one The bodies oT graduaTes sTood as The names oT Their schools were called. The voice called, NorTh High , WesT High , CenTral High . Then came an awful, Terror-inspiring, phrase, Miss Gugle, and The graduaTes oT EasT High School . All The graduaTes oT EasT sTood as Their principal rose. Dry ThroaTs TighTened, waTer came To eyes, and knees knocked wiTh an indefinable rhyThm. As The music began To play, backs sTraighTened and chins Took ThaT resoluTe do or die Tirmness. Then The music began, across The packed house, in TronT OT The proud parenTs and up Those' seemingly never ending sTairs. Midway across The sTage, The pupils were presenTed wiTh The cerTiTicaTe oT Their achievemenTs by obiecTs which seemed To swim around in space buT somehow managed To place The paper in an ouTsTreTched hand. Then down The long sTeps Tearing To sTumble every minuTe. BenedicTionl lT's over aT lasT. The rewarded members wenT lsTill hoTl ouT The door wiTh Their TaThers and moThers or alone, To Tace a new world and cerTainly To caTch a cold. IT WAS PROPHESIED . . . Bob GasT and Ralph Billups are enjoying Themselves immensely over The laTesT ediTion oT The Esquire when a message Trom MargareT Hedges, Bob's secreTary, informs The relaxing genTlemen ThaT Their TorTunes have been losT in The sTock markeT crash. Ed Rice, Their broker, has ruined Them. . Fear, Terror and panic Take Them as They make plans To Tlee Trom Their wives who have n-o selT-conTrol in such siTuaTions. Marjorie Ludwig and BeTTy STrader always did acT ThaT way. The broken business men Tear being overTaken by Three ace sleuThs: Jack Chapman, Bill King and STanley McCollum. TwenTy miles on The road Trom nowhere our Two heroes were swinging Their Thumbs aT passing moTorisTs going in The direcTion OT Columbus. ATTer hours TOT Thumb- ing an EchT Whizzer, an auTo propelled by rockeTs, invenTed by Their old school- maTe, lrving EchT, sTops To accommodaTe Them. ArT Landon is aT The conTrols oT The Whizzer .

DURING THREE YEARS WE... As we poor. beicuddled seniors of Today enTered EasT l-ligh School as Sophomores, we sTarTed a new liTe, and wiTh us on This exciTing Trip was a new principal, a new vice-principal and quiTe a Tew new Teachers. All in all iT was a new school. STarTing Trom scraTch, Tor we had no background in The high school curriculum, we bravely 'Faced Three long years oT Trials and hearTachesg oT honor and happiness. ATTer our TirsT week in school, we Tinally became acci.isTomed To The new and sTrange sighTs and were able To meander down The halls wiThouT gaping. ln a Tew monThs The school again began To be Bored of EducaTion Tor some, while Tor oThers school was iusT sTarTing and The pupils were beginning an advenTure ThaT was To lead Them To greaTer heighTs. So as we soughT new worlds To conquer, vacaTion loh dear vacaTionl came, and as iT came, iT wenT. As we began our Junior year oT educaTion, The ever Tlowing river oT Time Trickled by and The members oT The class had To husTle To accomplish someThing,- maybe in wriTing or in music or in speaking- Perhaps The mosT popular subiecT oT The year was daTing. And Then anoTher vacaTion came and, oT course, all Too soon, leTT us. ReTurning as Seniors, we spenT a bounTiTul year aTTending senior meeTings, going To The RoTary Luncheon, gaining scholasTic and exTra curricular recogniTions in The various organizaTions of The school, and enjoying ourselves generally. And now we have come To The end of our Senior l-ligh School educaTion. Our paThs will parT, and we will enTer inTo diTferenT proTessions, oThers will go To varied places and posiTions in liTe. As we look beTore us, we see only a Tog. and Torced To look back, we see a Sunny paTh, obsTrucTed here and There, perhaps, wiTh rocks uninTenTionally placed There, buT on The whole we Teel ThaT we have had a grand and glorious Three years here aT EasT l-ligh School, and we hope ThaT years in The TuTure are buT as brighT.
