'A ea 4 t ..., , is sys? 11 ua 'Senior Calendar September. l9l45, and East High opens wide its doors to welcome 400 new freshmen as well as many returning friends from last year. One of the new faces to be seen in the halls is that of our new principal, Mr. C. O. Williams. The C. O. E. program is also mak- ing its initial bow. October, the month of falling leaves, brought the student elections of student coun- cil officers and cheerleaders. Karlin O'Neal was chosen as President of the Student Coun- cil. The football season got under way with the Bears triumphing over Manual, 14 to 6. November brought worried looks to the faces of the Senior Class as they entered 201 to take the Ohio Aptitude Test. It also brought American Education Week and Open House to East. Karlin O'Neal was elected president of the Senior Class. December was memorable with the presen- tation of the mid-year play, '6Miss Alma Mater . The Senior Ballot caused the usual amount of excitement and the basketball sea- son began. Everyone thanked old Santa for the welcome present of a week's vacation. January rings in the new year of 1946 with East's rifle team placing third in the City match. Students sighed in relief as they real- ized that half of the school year was over as the grade cards were distributed and the new term began. Leonard O'Neal was elected as second term Student Council president. February brought smiles and tears as the Lit Clubs rushed their prospective members. From various parts of the school came the sounds of music and dancing feet as tryouts 30 for the Outburst got under way. Although everyone was very proud of the Basketball Team, we placed eighth in the lntcrscholastic league. The boys shined their shoes and the girls got out their prettiest dresses for the Intersoeiety Ball held in the gymnasium. March blew in with the first Junior Prom ever to be held at East High School and it was a huge success. East was the guest school on the radio program gilt Pays To Be Smartll. The Outburst, as usual, was one of the biggest triumphs of the year. The gymnasium was again decked out in gala crepe paper and soft lights for the H. O. T. C. Ball. April came joking in with April Foolls Day and the track season got off to a racing good start. The R. O. T. C. Circus, the first for several years was held in the Municipal Auditorium. Everyone welcomed the Easter vacation and the beautiful Easter Assembly. The highlight of the month was the annual Literary Contest. May was a month almost overflowing with events. Amid soft music and beautifull dresses the Senior Class held its annual Prom. The new members were inducted into the National Honor Society in an Assembly. The P.-T. A. gave their Fairyland Picnic. The Eastonian was out on the last day of the Seniors and amid the tearful farewells they said good-bye to their dear old Alma Mater. June brought shouts of joy from some stu- dents on the last day of school. The seniors. dignified in cap and gowns, accepted their diplomas knowing that their happy school days were over.
