A 6 L 5,1' 3 '.5'f1.fjgi in. ,ff - tiff' A June Class of 1929 wgrwp- We consider how four years were spent. For four years we have trod the long path leading to a cherished goal. Sometimes the path led through cities, and the great buildings cast dark shadows across our way, but we didn't seem to care, for there were the shops on either side, bright and dazzling, that ever drew us to gaze wist- fully at the wares displayed. During the first year it was the confections and glittering baubles that fascinated us, and we trooped in merrily to buy and laugh and revel in the rosy dreams of a new life. But we didn't think to save for the bread and meat shops just ahead. The following year we had found a firm footing, and we began to peer interestedly into sport shop windows. Several of our members ventured in and finally joined the lively group trooping to the gridiron, courts and track. The next year-ah, Vanity Fair! How we preened our glossy feathers before the mirrors in the shops of Monsieur, the tailor, and Madame, the modiste! Our social status had been raised. We even attended a few dances and assisted at other social functions. Then during the last year we reached the upper end of the avenue where the path was wider and brighter with the promise of a summer sun. By that time we had learned of beauty and the things that are more excellent, so we lingered often in the art and book shops and talked in whispers and handled old books reverently. Now we have come to the end of the long, dark street. We have come to the gate, and beyond we can see the highway, endless and wide and free. Beyond the rise we know there are hills to climb and torrents to cross, and there are no bright shops, but there are flowers by the side of the road, and at length we shall come to the horizon. So now we stand at the gate of the world, our first lesson learned, Han' forward, through we canna see, we guess and fear. MARIAN C. DEAN, '29. , 1, V' 25

C3 CD A Qing:-5 4 pm ,. FRANCIS STEPHEN BECKER e Hi-Y 3, 4- Band 3, 4- Orchestra 4- Class Secretary 4-- Pronz Committee 4- Junior Track 1- Class Basket- ball 2, 3, 4- Joke Editor 4- Class Play 4. A very prominent young man has been Francis in our class for the four years we have spent in East. He has the ability of a leader as was demonstrated when he led our band during foot- ball season. We don't know what he will do when he leaves but we are sure he will forge right ahead. GEORGE WILLIAM BENEDICT Orchestra 1, 3, 4- Band 3, 4-Interscholastic Orchestra 1, 2, 3- Jzlnior Basketball Manager 1- Class Play 4. Hail to East's 'Fritz Kreisler'! During his 4 years at East, he has been one of the mainstays of the orchestra. George is a likeable chap and will be missed, but we expect him to shine at Ohio University. HARRIET BOWEN Harriet is our dream girl. We feel sure that many of our popular songs were written in honor of her. Her raven tresses and brown eyes have inspired male and female alike. But be- sides being very good to look at, Harriet is an ardent student and one who confines her efforts to that much evaded necessity- studying. Life will be kind to her. CHARLTON BRITTON Glee Club 2, 3, 4- Basketball Manager 2, 3- Sunrise Staff Not too small or not too tall, Her personality pleases all. Charlton has one of the sunniest dispositions in the school and those with whom she comes in contact in her chosen field, are to be congratulated. fli'AxJ,4-X eo ' ff . Ilia ',z9 v GLADYS ELIZABETH BROWN J 'TW' Club 2, 3, 4-Secretary 3- Basketball 1, 2. When you're sad and blue, Call on Murf and she'll be true. Gladys is not only snappy and happy all the time but she is in for good marks as well. Her school spirit and willingness to help others make us regret to lose her. Sharpsville seems to have an added attraction. We wonder what it is! w i 27 . ,.,4
