ERMA BACHTEL M Club 3, 4. Dear, jolly Erma, with her ever-ready Wise cracks, certainly will be missed from old East.

- A 6 1929 Mid-Year Class History Hear ye! Hear ye! In February, 1923, this class honored Cas we thoughtj East High with our presence. Although we were only Junior High students, we thought we owned the school. However, to our great sorrow, we soon learned that we were of no importance whatsoever. After two years of this insignificance, we b-ecame Freshmen. Oh what joy! At last we would be recognized. But alas, we were doomed to disappointment. Being a mid-year class, we were not even organized. My, what a great event we thought it was when we became Sopho- mores. Now, surely, we would be 'somebodiesf' But again we were disappointed. It is said, History repeats itself, and so it does, for our Sophomore year was much like our Freshman year. We were lost sheep, except for the fact that we knew we belonged to East High, and were beginning to realize what school spirit meant. Near the end of the year, we helped the June Class sponsor a Sophomore Hop. When we first became Juniors, we were so overcome with our new importance that we did not know how to act. Of course, we were not long in becoming accustomed to it. We elected class officers, and began to talk of being the second class to graduate in mid-year. With all our might, we supported all school activities, and we cooperated with the June class in giving a Junior-Senior Prom. Naturally, throughout this year, we were looking forward to the time when we would be Seniors. Finally we reached the exalted position of Seniors. Now we could treat the underclassmen in the manner in which we had been treated so long. We followed in the footsteps of all Seniors, having kiddies day, class day, and a banquet. We also presented a play, The New Poor, the various parts of which were cleverly portrayed by members of the class. Many members of the class took part in athletics. Days flew swiftly, and soon graduation was at hand. It was a happy yet sorrowful occasion. We were about to enter our careers, but, oh, how hard it was to think of leaving dear old East, for after all, school days are the best days. Last, but not least, we wish to thank the members of the faculty for untiringly trying to pound education into our, not always willing, heads. ---AESTHER GILBERT, '29 17
