EASTONTAN 11934 l 1 IOHN R. WAHLSTEDT VICE-PRINCIPAL i Through his sprightly jesting and merry greetings, Mr. John R. Wahlstedt adds that touch of informality so essential to an enterprising faculty. This friend-making diver- sion, however, does not interfere with his administrative duties, which he executes with speed and efficiency even though he teaches three classes and engages in numerous outside activities. Setting an inspiring example to the students, Mr. Wahlstedt is, figuratively speaking, a glutton for difficult labor, which he cheerfully effects. The combination of such desirable qualities constitutes a character and personality that is an invaluable aid in East High's speeding rise to distinction. l15l

N OWLIN PRINCIPAL ftdcaffwww There are many types of students among the throngs at East High School, and arising from this mixture of personalities are many problems demanding a fair solution. This situation calls for a judge or compromiser, such a person is our principal, Clifford H. Nowlin. Settling disputes in such a way that everyone is somewhat consoled is a Herculean task, yet it is efficiently executed by our principal. There are other sides to the character of Mr. Nowlin, howeverisidelines which would combine to make any job more pleasant. He has first introduced many students to that zenith of thought and expressionk-poetryf-through verse of his own com- position and that of acknowledged masters. Also, Mr. Nowlin has enlivened many a classroom by narrating in his expressive way some short story, legend, or tale. Through these personal contacts with the pupils, Mr. Nowlin enjoys a popularity with the students that is seldom attained by a high school principal. E141 , fig Mmm . 644427474 Wet ffmaa

11934 EASTONIAN EVELYN L. GILCHRIST LOUISE HATCH NON-DEPARTMENTAL TEACHERS Several members of East High School's faculty have duties which are not strictly departmental in nature, but which bring them into a position of service to the school as a whole. These persons have, in untold instances, smoothed out diliiculties for students, given advice in matters pertaining both to school and private affairs, and in many ways added to the comfort, pleasure, and educational advantages of our school home. To Miss Louise Hatch is entrusted the important office of Counselor. To her any student may go who needs advice. The duties of Counselor include giving advice as to school study programs, suggestions to failing pupils, help in solving financial prob- lems-in fact any aid which will enable the student to adjust himself to his present situation. On visiting Miss Hatch, pupils know that they will receive able counsel and better still, that they will find a friend. Miss Alice Walton, who is completing her first year at East, has the important duty of caring for the health of the students in the school. She administers first aid and checks the health of the pupils. This year she assisted members of the Tuberculosis Society in giving tuberculin tests to many of the pupils and teachers. E161
