To the student reading his annual, the actual parts of the book may seem only the literary and art work which he sees as he turns its pages, but back of it all are the divisions which make possible the production of an annual. The financing of a year book is by no means a casually planned nor a hastily finished work. The bookkeepers of the Aeroplane have worked all year on the finances, that we may know exactly what we have to spend -what we have in the treasury. The business staff, headed by Catherine Cady, has been re- sponsible for the successful sale of annuals to business men and students, and has taken charge of the photography in a truly capable manner. The art staff, headed by Willis Austin, has worked hard at the inserts and other art work that beautifies our annual and makes it interesting and individual. The typists have typed reams of material in preparation for revising and for the printer. To all who have worked on the circus for weeks, and in some cases, months, to help in the financing of the Aeroplane, the success of the book is also due. To our advisers, Miss Little, Mr. Byrnes, Miss King, and Miss Hansen, we extend our heartiest thanks for their pains- taking and valuable efforts on the Aeroplane's behalf. And to the faculty and student body at large the annual owes whatever measure of success it may have in reflecting the spirit and school life of our East High. To all these - we ask your thanks and give ours, for it is their work that has made this Aeroplane worthy of a place among the fine annuals East High has had in the past.

We believe that the circus idea has never before been used for a high school book. It is quite a natural development for East High School, however, since the annual amateur circus is one ofthe big events of the school year, meaning 'a great deal, not only to the students, but to that large part of the community which stands back of the school. The Aeroplane has been a pioneer in taking action on the idea that a high school annual should not be financially dependent on the community. We are among the first to discard advertising in our annual as a means of finance. Our downtown sale' of annuals to business men has been so arranged that it is not a burden for our business friends, since we sell the books at a very small profit. In our search for the best way of financing the Aeroplane, we have tried and abandoned several schemes, until last year, when our first circus was given. Two circuses have been presented thus far, stirring the imagination and se- curing the co-operation of both students and the community, who look forward to the circus not as a duty toward the annual, but as a real event, both to those taking part, and to the enter- tained and delighted audience of parents, friends and students. Too much can hardly be said about the wonderful co-opera- tion on everyones' part in making the circus successful. As though attempting a return for what the annual does for the school, in reflecting its spirit and activities, and, in so doing, reflecting a vital part of the community. No one needed to be urged to attend the circus or take part in it. In spite of stormy and freezing weather, large crowds attended all performances, enjoying the fun and thrills. The Circus is considered the biggest and best high school amateur circus put on anywhere. Everyone likes to be in it, and likes to attend it. The circus is an event in the school year, and the annual, doing its best to become a true reflector of the school, could find no better theme than the Circus for the Aeroplane of 1928. ..qIgIgg..
