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

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

EASTONIAN 11934 RUTH ROBINSON FRANCES ROMINE HELEN XVILKIN Miss Evelyn Gilchrist, who has presided over the study hall for the past eight years, has made this a quiet, pleasant place in which to study. Although she teaches no classes, she has the responsibility of a home room two or three times the size of a regular class- room. She must keep the records of all of these pupils and assist them in making their programs. Beside performing these duties, Miss Gilchrist answers helpfully numerous questions and often directs pupils in their studies. Miss Ruth Robinson. registrar, and Miss Helen Wilkin, clerk, not only keep the records of the school and assist the Principal and Vice-Principal, but they cheerfully stand ready to advise and aid all who need information. Mrs. Frances Romine, East's new cafeteria manager, has, in her years's presence here, proved herself a happy addition to East's faculty. She helps to make the lunch period pleasant by providing a variety of good foods, attractively displayed. Mrs. Romine has won the gratitude of the student body by her generous cooperation in opening the cafeteria for social events, including dinners and dances. Miss Rachel Agg, librarian, and her staff help the students to make the most of the advantages oifered by the excellent new library. The staff is always ready to assist the students in their research work and to aid teachers by placing in readiness books required for special assignments. Each year the Freshman and Sophomore English classes go to the library for instruction in the use of the facilities offered. Attractive displays of new books tempt the reader into unvisited fields. l17l
