EAST HIGH JANUS .gsm fl ,... He carries always in his mind the thought that knowledge in youth is wisdom in old age . . . So years ago with the aid of other educators, he influenced Youngstown to build East High School. In eleven years, he has helped many thousands of people of the East Side acquire an education. It is your privilege to graduate from high school while the World is celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the begin- ning of the great Work of Horace Mann who dedicated his life to the cause of public education. Would that we could imbue you with his faith, his ideals, his spirit, his untiring energy and his devotion to a cause! If that were possible East High would be worthy of a most enviable place in the annals of all history! May the challenge of almost the last words he uttered: Be ashamed to die until you have achieved some victory for humanity spur you on to the noblest and Hnest achievements. is our most earnest desire.

EAST HIGH JANUS .nm His are the shoulders on which heavy burdens are laid. Mr. Fell's time is spent, not only as assistant principal of a school, but also as a friend to two thousand students. His words of encouragement are an incentive to those with a tendency to lag: his disappointment, a reproof. The year 1937 brings with it a more optimistic feeling on the part of people everywhere than any year since you have been in East High School. Most of the years that you have spent at East have been known as years of depression and through it all you have shown a spirit of cheerfulness and fortitude that has contributed much to the happiness of all with whom you were associated. We hope you will retain this attitude and make it a part of your daily lives. In doing this you will leave behind a tradition that is of real worth to East High. As a school grows older there becomes established certain traditions which may be of the greatest value to coming genera- tions. The traditions which make the reputation of the school are fixed by the attitudes and ideals of students and faculty. It must be a source of inner satisfaction to know that you have made a contribution on the right side of the ledger. E. E. FELL. if Page Nine Q24- 16224--
