EAST HIGH JANUS weigh JANUARY NATIONAL HONOR GROUP Chosen for the four outstanding characteristics: leadership, scholarship, service, and character, seventeen seniors were selected from the mid-year class for the National Honor Society. They were inducted into the membership of the organization on January 18. The luminous glow of candles which the novitiates carried, the soft musical accompaniment, and the low voices of those ofliciating . . . all served to increase the solemnity of the installation. Members of the alumni were the characters which tradition- ally preside at the National Honor Society inductions held at East. At the conclusion of the ceremony Principal Smith talked at some length about the history of the society: he then welcomed the new members, complimenting them on their selection. Those chosen as members of the National Honor Society are: Joe Balazs, Hannah Belinky, Donald Davis, Mary Elizabeth Davis, Georgina De Maria, Leanor Gregory, Joe Hanak, Paul Haustovich, Betty Hay, Nina Lushinsky, Betty Miller, Harold Reuben, George Rudy, Patsy Test, Fred Van Kirk, James Watkins, and Janet Young. n if Pug: Tuenfj'-Eight Ee P

EAST HIGH JANUS get saff- Grade ll or Junior year-1936 Dear Diary: Living up to our resolution of last year, we immediately proceed to choose a few well-qualified class executives and advisers. We proclaim Mike DeLucia, president, and Ruth Hammond, vice president. Guy Chainese is selected as treasurer: and Janet Young is to be our secretary. Our first social event, a Get-acquainted Party, is planned exceptionally well, and is staged even better. The full co-operation of the class is asked for, and is graciously received. Although this is a very successful year, still we must note that we have lost a few students who have either moved, been compelled to quit because of unfortunate circumstances, or who have failed to keep up with our high stand- ards and have had to drop back a grade. Wherever these people may now be, we wish them luck and happiness, and are sorry that they cannot be with us to share our last year. Grade l2 or Senior year-1937 Dear Diary: We All-mighty Seniors are progressing rapidly, with our advisers, Miss Mary E. Ackworth, Miss Martha Norris, Mr. J. P. Griffith, and Mr. O. A. Carlson, supervising with wise authority. A few of our outstanding social events are our talent show, called the East High Revue 1 A Senior B Dance which, as usual, is carried off with great success. Co-operating with the Senior A's a prom is held at the Nu-Elms. Beautiful rings and pins are the delight of our whole class and quite prominently displayed. After our victory over South High in football, we hold a Grid Iron Victory Dance which, it is hoped, will become established as an annual affair. Our play, 'iThings Unseen, scores a great hit, and so We triumph again. The Senior Prom being held at Nu-Elms on December l8, l936. and h t e class banquet at Piccadillo Club on January 25, are acknowledged as being the outstanding social events this year. Class day and Baccalaureate service automatically suggest the attainment of our high school diplomas. The former, affording every one fun, is held January 27, 1937. The latter service, is January 24, 1937. All that has been hoped for is at last achieved on that memorable day January 29, 1937-Graduation Day. -LEANOR GREGORY. -if Tmvnfywwn Q39

EAST HIGH JANUS ... g- l -M , JANUARY SENIOR PLAY The Unseen Way was presented January 20 and Zl, in the East High Auditorium by the mid-year graduating class. A mystery melodrama, it played to London and Broadway audiences for several seasons. Being a professional play it taxed the powers of its amateur interpreters, but as finally performed it was smooth The careful timing necessary to facilitate the action seemed non-existent. Only the drama of the Uvehicle was evident. Miss Helen Morris, director, inaugurated an idea, novel to ,East High, that of having a double cast, The cast which presented the evening performance was composed of the following: Theresa Fran- cis, Patsy Test, Betty Miller, Joe Hanak, Mary Elizabeth Davis, Frank Marinelli, Geraldine Keasey, Mike DeLucia, Harold Reuben, Fred Van Kirk, Joe Reto.
