1 .14 hile European youth march to the autocratic commands of ruthless dictators, carefree East High students climb the steps of democratic life. . . . X PATRICIA COWAN 0 EDITOR WARREN TARR 0 BUSINESS MANAGER HARRY CARL o PHOTOGRAPHER O The office buzzes with early morning activity O Student council 1'cpre.te11tutive directs home-room discussion From Eight 0'c1ock .... n harmony with the democratic principles of their nation, nine hundred sixty-five East High students learn to live together under a system of self-government during the nine and one-half months of their school year. Student monitors are on duty at eight o'clock each morning to admit early-comers who have permission passes. Following the eight-thirty bell, chums gather in groups to chat about their social life. Summoned by the eight-forty warning gong, they hurriedly snatch books from floors and lockers and scurry to work. To consider the problems lage Pour which arise in a school society first period classes under the direction of their student council repre- sentatives hold discussions and promote campaigns during the first hfteen minutes. Absentees and late-comers report to the oiiice where they present excuses from their parents or H11 out their own. For an excused absence the student gets a white slip, which permits him to make up all his Work. The blue slip designates an unapproved absence and allows the student to make up half the time missed. No credit is given to the unexcused absence, indicated by the pink slip. Three fifty-two-minute periods constitute the morning program. Dismissed at eleven-fifty, stu- dents flocli to the cafeteria, home, or downtown restaurants for their mid-day snack. With the sound of the twelve-forty-five bell, students congregate in classrooms to begin the three-period afternoon session. At three-forty, following sixth period, members of the different organizations supplement their budgets by vend- ing candy in the halls. Sales close at four o'clock and the proceeds are deposited in the school bank. All finances are handled by this miniature banking ....'Ti1 system run by students under the control of L1 faculty member. Play rehearsals, music practice hours, club and committee meetings, and make-ups occupy many students after school. Wlhen the hands of the clock in the lower hall point to five-thirty, all late-Workers hear the janitor's familiar All outl' echo through the corridor. Thus closes another school day, typical of the pattern of the one hundred eighty-two whose events we picture for you in our Trojan Parade of 1940.

Always at attention the administration are trained to prepare young people to join a larger parade than that to which they now belong. In their special formations students find the faculty an eager ally. It is with the aid and guidance of the Vanguard that the Trojan Parade attains color and success. in the vanguard He Charts The Goals GREETINGS TO THE AUTHORS or THE TROJAN PARADE: Publishing the school annual is one of the most im- portant contributions to student life each year. You people who work on it enrich student life by putting into im- mediate practice some of the skills you are learning in the classroom. You not only improve your own abilities, but you also make life more interesting for your fellow pupils, and youlre providing a permanent record which will be 21 source of pleasure to all of us when your school days are over. Sincerely, JACK M. LOGAN, SIl!76l'il7Ili'lIl1lC'l'lf For over sixty years the Trojan parade has been passing the reviewing stand. From the two who started the parade in 1877 almost each succeeding year has seen an increase in the number of marchers until now we see more than two hundred fifty passing by. The line of march has not always been smooth and easy for those who have gone along its way, nor will it always be for those who are passing now. Sometimes the way will be rough and stony, storms will assail and withering heat will bring weariness of body. Only those with clear vision, physical, mental, and moral stamina will reach the end of the march whose goal is marked Success. Marchers of 1940, the world is your reviewing stand. Keep in step. FR ian J. MIl.l.lili, P1'i11riju1l He Marshalls The Fielo LQ 'fi he school life of 4385 East W'aterloo students and their 140 teachers rests on thc little publicized group of nine men and women who comprise the board of education. Few people, students or parents, realize what faith the voters place in this small group of earnest workers and good citizens when they entrust to them the education of the men and Women of tomorrow. Few people stop to consider the load of responsibility which rests upon their shoulders and the difficult tasks which are regularly their lot. This year's board was headed by President Charles S. McKinstry, Secretary Charles Hostetler, and Treasurer A. J. Burk, and included Mrs. G. A. Tibbitts, H. P. Hansen, C. M. Sherrill, A. D. Donnell, L. A. Priebe, and C. W. Hutton. In this year,s building program were the completion of the new Longfellow School and the construction of an addition to the Frances Grout School as well as the renewal of the million dollar insurance policy covering schools of the East District. Stress was placed on the maintenance of the high caliber teaching staff and the continuance of scholastic progress. They Set The Pace SI .x ll nz Nlrs. G. A.

Lending variety and distinction to the Trojan Parade, club life molds personalities, develops leadership, teaches cooperation and individual responsibility, and vitalizes school life. Through club activity students discover a worthy avocation for leisure time. Latent abilities and interests find an opportunity to ma- terialize under faculty guidance. Proficiency is rewarded by membership in honor groups. Serving as officers and committeemen gives students an insight into administrative procedure. Thus clubs are the means of broadening viewpoints and social contacts. in fnrmatinn F1ksT Row: M. Anderson, ul. Wilson, B Snyder, Harrison, M. Anderson, K son, M. Trefger, F. Gonvales, P. Bagley L.

With Brush and Tallet If a visitor should drop into the art room any Tuesday after school, he would find the Art Gang absorbed in mask making, drawing posters for i'Swing's the Thing, modeling clay, or any other activity that would interest an artist. The art club chose the name, Art Gangf' to break away from the feeling that artists are dif- ferenti' in character and appearance. In this organization one is free to use the technique with which he wants to draw, and also, he is free to use any medium he desires. The active membership is now 16. Their ofhcers are Marguerite Anderson, presidentg Jeanne Harrison, vice-president, Kathleen Daake, secretary, Jeanne Wilson, treasurer. In case the visitor still doesn't know what or- ganization this is, just tell him to look on their apparel and find a little modernistic pin which says Art 1 1940.

Any girl interested in joining must submit her name to the board for approval. If accepted, she earns 75 points before becoming a member. A play day May 18 Was an innovation in the annual program. Many G. A. A. members of neighboring schools within 100 miles participated in the parade of fun. Miss Lyla G. Sill, girls' physical education director, guided the club formation composed of Louise Showers, president, Elwanda Mildenstein, vice-president, Florence Ketchum, secretary, and Pauline Camarata, treasurer.

This year, the second in the club's history, saw an increasingly large membership of girls who thoroughly enjoyed the many potluck suppers and small dinners which hlled pleasant evenings. An outstanding social gathering of the organ- ization was the St. Valentine's Day tea at which new Sub-Deb girls were welcomed into the social life of the group. The major activity of the Sub-Deb Club was the style show held in the Little Theater April 16. All girls enrolled in homemaking classes were allowed to bring one friend to the show where up- to-date dresses, coats, hats, shoes, and accessories were modeled by the homemaking girls with a soft musical background supplied by part of the orchestra's string section. Highlighting the May social meetings was the gathering for mothers and daughters at which the parents became acquainted with the homemaking course and the work of the club. Mothers and daughters were delighted with the three movies on successful living. Sharma FIRST Row: M. liichmeier, V. Way, H. Richter, M. Betz, M. Burroway, R. Stokes, M. Barrett, B. jordan, D.

O Accessioning new books O Numbering volumes last Tu CDK5' This year, in addition to training in the re- sources of a library and how to use it, a pre- vocational tryout in library work has been intro- duced. During the third six weeks of the second semester, students have been assisting at the public library during their laboratory period. This gives new experience and an opportunity to prove the value of their study in a different environment. This training will also give good preparation to those students who want to do part-time work while attending college. Students who take library science are eligible to membership in the Librarians' Club. Along with their social activities this group aims to be a service organization and through their efforts to make the library an attractive place to study and to browse.

Stringent requirements must be passed before any music student may become eligible for membership in the club. The program includes the playing of records, modern and classical, followed by a discussion on both types. A study of various Compositions, talks on musical instruments, and music quizzes supply activities for the club. Beverley Smith served as presidentg Richard Mitchell, vice-president, and Barbara Litchfield, secretary-treasurer. This group has the responsibility of ushering at various music concerts.

This club, under the supervision of Cecil Ker- sten, promotes the interests of the student body in dramaties and develops skill in play interpre- tation. To be a member of this club, one must obtain one hundred points, earning them through stage-crew work or appearing in a school play. Initiations occur twice a year, in january and May.

Four plays were produced and presented before various audiences. They were First Dress Suit, Three's a Crowd, The Happy Journey, and Last Flight Over. Cf course, none of these plays could be pos- sible without the efforts of the stage-crew. This interesting work ranges from sewing a curtain to uluggingi' scenery around. The people behind the stage who do just as much in giving the mood of the play usually get the least credit. It is a responsibility just as much as acting.

On the Gridiron From opening kickoff to Hnal gun, the 1939 foot- ball season showed what can be done at East. It was a success both from the standpoint of wins and losses and also from the spirited student in- terest in the games. The outstanding player on this year's team was Captain Wfillie Warren. He was selected as a member of .the second all-state team by the LD.P.A. Wfarren, a guard, was one of the hardest working individuals on the team. Practice started late in August so that the boys were well in trim before the beginning of school. Returning major lettermen included Willie Warren and Dick Dierenfield in the line, and Har- lan Kepple, Leon Pike, and Eugene Stephens in the backfield. Nine of last yearis minor lettermen also reported. The Hrst game of the season, with McKinley of Cedar Rapids, proved to be a walkaway for East and revealed a promising Raffensperger coached team. However, after the Dubuque game, with East on the short end of the score, things were not so bright. This was to be expected as Dubuque, with Dick Hoener, proved itself to be one of the strongest teams in the state. Page il vsenty-eight The Mason City game, feature tilt of the third annual homecoming celebration, found the grid- sters primed for victory. However, it took more than East had to stop the powerful Mason City eleven. Although a loss, it proved to be a rousing welcome for the old grads. The final game of the season was the intra- city battle with West High. As game time drew near, excitement reached fever pitch and East Highis walls echoed as the cheer leaders got into action. Since West has more adequate facilities for handling the crowd, the game was held in their stadium. The night of the game was cool and crisp, perfect football weather. The stands were filled long before game time even though all seats were reserved. After the flag raising ceremony, the contest got under way. The game, a battle in every sense of the word, ended with East ahead. West scored in the first quarter, but East came back to score two touchdowns and threaten a third time. W'ith the final gun, pandemonium broke loose, and crowds of celebrants stormed the gates. With this game the season ended. East came out with four victories, three defeats, and one tie. Hold That Line Nineteen boys won major letters this year. They included Willie Warren, Harlan Kepple, Eugene Stephens, Wayne Welch, Dick Dierenfield, Roger Ostrander, Ralph Arthur, Dick Bandield, Herman Robinson, Dick McKinstry, Leon Fike, Jimmy Brooks, Harold Zell, Alex Lawrence, Henrick Peterson, Don Lauritson, Bob Updegraff, Roger Stephens, and Don McDermott. Minor award winners were Dick Marble, Har- old Wenthe, Bill O'Brien, Harold Teisinger, Paul Fagerlind, and Dwight Eike. Nine boys had played their last game for East High when the season closed. Captain Willie Warren was one of the finest guards ever developed at East High according to experts. Harlan Kepple did an excellent job of holding down the quarterback post. He was a fine de- fensive back, could carry the ball for consistent gains, and was an excellent kicker. Eugene Stephens excelled in each of three sports, football, track, and wrestling. He was fullback on the football team. His track ability showed itself on the field as he swept around end for consistent gains. Dick Dierenfield played end on offense and tackle on defense. Although not a spectacular player, he was a good defensive performer and an offensive threat. Roger Ostrander, another end, played a steady though not spectacular season. Herman Robinson alternated all season with Dierenfield and was thus a tackle on offense and an end on defense. He was not only one of the biggest but also one of the best players who ever played for East. Opposing backs found Herman's position practically impossible to penetrate. XVayne Welch, end and tackle, represents a fine example of resolution. He tried for the team for three years and in his senior year won the coveted major letter. Ralph Arthur, guard, also won two minor letters in previous years before he played enough to earn a large orange WT Dick Bandfield, tackle, played off and on for two seasons. However, this year saw his success also. Peterson, Lauritson, and Updegraff all played center. Peterson started the season but had to drop out as a result of injuries. Lauritson was then the regular center until he was taken sick, when Updegralf took over. The scoring was all done by three boys. Kepple made six touchdowns and seven conversions for a total of 43. Stephens made six touchdowns and one point after touchdown for 31. Leon Eike made four touchdowns for 24 points. All East High echoes the praise of Coach Raf- fensperger who completed his ninth year as head of the coaching staff. He has done much to elevate the school to a place of respect in sports circles throughout the state. Of this year's team Coach Raffensperger says, The 1939 team was one of the best in recent years. Due to inexperience their play was not consistent but was typical of East High teams, the boys improved with every game because of their fine spirit. O Around the banquet table O On the scrimmage line O In the backfield O Sophomore ieammates I igt I nrty O n the Hardwood Playing a total of nineteen regular games, Eastls 1940 edition of basketeers rolled up a sum of eight contests won and eleven lost. In the tradi- tional opener with Dike they emerged unscatched with a margin of eight points to the good. A particularly bright spot of the year was the defeat of the Davenport Blue Devils 32 to 27 late in the season. The East-West battles provided big-time thrills for the rabid Waterloo basketball fans. The games were nip-and-tuck from start to finish. Scoring honors were usually divided between Seidler, East's high scoring center, and Darland, XVest,s diminutive forward. In retrospect the season looks like one of which all East High back- ers can be proud. Note that there were few capable seniors, and even less after the mid-year boys were through. In the first semester four senior boys with plenty of experience included Seidler, centerg Simbric, forwardg and Hollins and Redden, guards. Qnly one of these, Seidler, returned second semester. The juniors who played as regulars during the latter half of the season were Klenzman, Lynn, Stephens, Zegarac, and Kelly. These boys gave promise of good things to come in the way of East Highls future teams. The saddest blow to hit the team during the season was the loss of Odadean Hollins in January. Although small in stature, he compiled a brilliant record as a guard. Throughout the year, the scoring of the team was literally carried on the shoulders of what might well be the greatest offensive basketball player that East High will ever have. Dick Seidler had an almost uncanny ability to hit the basket. He averaged 16 points per game during the season. In only three games was he held under 10 points. His total scoring in all games added up to 273 points. He established a new Mississippi Valley Conference record of 141 points. Captain of the Trojans, he also had the honor of being on the First All-State Team. The sophomore squad had one of the best seasons in years, losing only three tilts, while play- ing almost as many games as the varsity. l'IRST Row: R. Kelley, R. Lynn, R. Seicller, Ii. Zegarac, R.

Roger Stephens, sophomore guard who showed definite promise as a dependable defensive player, started every game. At the end of the season, he was the second leading scorer on the team with 59 points. Another sophomore was Ralph Zegarac, for- ward. Throughout the season he played almost as many minutes as Dick Seidler. Although handi- capped by poor eyesight until special glasses were procured, he garnered S5 points. His defensive work was outstanding. He is sure to be a valuable asset to East High in the future because he has one and one-half years left. He turns in a good performance at both forward and guard. Dick Kelly, sophomore regular, was bothered by poor health part of last season. He started the last few games and scored a total of 35 points. Coming to East High with a fine record from Junior High as their ace scorer, he is potentially a very good shot. Bob Linn is a big raw-boned sophomore who really gives promise of being a prominent guard when he acquires more experience. He was prob- ably the most improved player on the squad. Al- though he didn,t get the chance to play until Odadean Hollins graduated in mid-year, he scored 27 points. lmpressing the fans with flashes of speed whenever he played was Marvin Klenzman, sopho- more. He was probably the fastest man on the squad and should develop into a good scorer in the coming seasons. He played in every game. ,lim Redden was one of the best ball handlers on the squad, showing up particularly well when the team was really up against tough competition. Through his experience in playing three years, he helped a great deal in developing Bob Linn and Roger Stephens this last season. Bob Simbric was out with an infected hand the early part of the season. He also was a mid- year man, but was a hard-working forward who proved loyal to the squad. W'ayne McGowen played on the sophomore team in all their games, and also got in seven varsity encounters. liike and McDermott were outstanding guards on the sophomore squad. Credit is due XVilliam xl. Wfaters for the coaching he gave the sophomores. lfast's varsity squad averaged 26.8 points to opponents, 29.5 points during the season. Page flih its L Flksi' Row: NV.

Holler, On the Mat XVith only two of last year's major letter winners available at the beginning of the season, East wrestlers opened a fifteen-meet schedule by de- feating a strong Iowa Falls team. The loss of Glenn Smith by mid-year graduation left a vacancy to be filled by the fighting Jack Logan Jr. Due to the Hne improvement of theiinexperienced members in the lower weights, the team as a whole ended the season with an average of better than 500 percent, winning six out of eleven dual meets. In tournament competition the team placed first in the Mississippi Valley Conference, fifth in the toughest District Meet in the state, held at Osage, and fourth in the State Contest held at New Hampton. Harold wonder-mann Zell won the championship in the heavy-weight division, while Captain Mike Balhorn took second place in the 125-pound class. These two boys went through a schedule of eleven dual meets undefeated, along with Keith Cantwell who was also undefeated, until an attack of appendicitis deleted him from the squad. An unusual feature of the team,s five defeats was that four were decided by the outcome of one match. Page 'I hirty-two Of the thirteen major letter winners, seven will graduate. Those graduating will be Glenn Smith, Gordon Marmie, Milo Balhorn, Bob Gun- derson, Richard Hoofnagle, Gene Stephens, and Dale Slaughter. Returning to compete next fall will be Keith Cantwell, Bob Ryan, Jack Logan Jr., Russell Sears, Vinton Jones, and Harold Zell, who will be eligible for the first semester. Le Moyne Holley, Bill Lynn, Wfarren Hudson, Verne McCoy, Wayne Hoofnagle, and Russell Millette were the minor awards winners who will return. Henry Lucas and Don Adams are the only graduating minor lettermen. Next season there will be a new set of weight divisions set up by the Iowa Athletic Association. They will consist of a 95, 105, 112, 118, 123, 129, 135, 145, 155, 165 pounds and over. This will omit the 85-pound class and lower the heavy- weight division down to 165 pounds and over. Commenting on the past season Coach Harry Sievers says, The squad was a fine bunch of boys to coach, and the boys on the team went into their meets in good condition, a factor absolutely essential for a winning teamf' Down the Cinder Path Rolling up records which topped all totals for the last decade, East's 1940 tracksters took top honors in competition. With a turnout of approximately 60 boys, the track squad, hampered by inclement weather, started practice in the gym. James Tyson, Gene Stephens, and Dick Dierenfield were the only major lettermen from last year's squad reporting. Tyson and Stephens returned to the sprint relays and dashes, Dierenfield to handle the shot and discus. Aiding East in a successful season were Tyson in the Sprints, Stephens in the hurdles and sprints, Dierenfield in the shot and discus, William Rich- ardson and Peter Eekhoff in the high jump, Verner Allen and Alec Lawrence in the broad jump. Paul Fagerlind, Dick Kelley, and Roger Ste- phens were the javelin throwers. Don McDermott and Bob Kuehule did the pole vaulting. Clarence Lippert, John Holler, Warren Hudson, Randall Middleton, Irvin Beener, and Marvin Klenzman held their own in the middle and long-distance runs. East's outstanding sprint relay teams consisted of Tyson, Stephens, Eekhoff, Kelley, V. Allen, and Darrell Beaver. C Beaver, Stephens, Eekhoff, Tyson, sprint learn O McDermott takes pole vault at 10' 6 O Lawrence hnrles discus O Eekhajf passes stick, Returning from the Hampton Relays with th: team championship on a Friday night, the cinder- men on the following Saturday scored the Hrst and only Big-Four Conference Championship ever to be won by an East High track team. The Hampton Relay trophy is to remain in East Highls possession permanently after winning it two years in succession. East Highis hauling off top honors in the State District Track Meet was largely due to the per- formances of Tyson and Stephens in the dashes, and the remarkable work turned in by the 440, 880, and mile relays. Although having made threats other years, East won the District Meet for the hrst time in over a decade. Rounding off their dual meet schedule by beating West High, the team tallied the first vic- tory ever to be scored against West on their own field since track was introduced. This victory netted East the record of going two years un- defeated in dual competition, and made possible their chance to break the record set by last year's team of winning thirteen trophies in one season.

The addition of Mr. Taylor as coach assured the netmen of a better out- fit than that of last year when they organized and coached their own team. Dual meets with surrounding schools were scheduled. P igc Thirty-four Along the Fairway Fore, Fore! shouted the nineteen boys competing for positions on the golf team as practice got under way in April.

Shaking Down the Thunder Marching with rhythmic precision and generating enthusiasm at the football games, along with entertaining hundreds of people at parades and musicals, East Highls marching and concert band played an important role. Drum majors included La Vern Williams, La Verne Priebe, Frances Rohle, and james Knitrel. First period Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the band practiced under the baton of Director Herbert Goodwin. Putting instruments in their proper places was the duty of Wayne Cary, prop- erty manager. Lending color and flash, a high stepping baton twirling unit was a new addition to the marching band. lntricate and new formations were made possible by this group of eight girls, who with the band drew applause and admiration from the crowd wherever they marched. Money making projects vied with practice in the minds of music students this season as their organizations undertook the Hnancing of the trip to the Dubuque Music Festival. They sold Coca Cola and ice cream in the annex and tickets to From the Skies Moonlight Sonata and Dr. Ehrliehls Magic Bul- let . They played host to the University of lowa concert band, and introduced novelty into the types of programs staged at East High when they presented their variety show, Swing,s the Thingf' written by Byron Gosden. Dr. Goginer, leading bandmaster of Canada and director of music for Canadian Na- tional Broadcasting Company, was guest con- ductor at the Dubuque Music Festival in which East's concert band participated. lnstructive criti- cism instead of competition was the the overnight trip.

On April 18 the advanced choir Went to Dubuque for the music festival with that city and Davenport. Here criticism and instruction from Jacob Evanson of Pittsburgh and other experts proved the festival a worthwhile venture. After the Hrst session in the morning, in which all choirs gave a short concert, the girls and boys divided into separate groups for clinics. Students had a chance to sing for the critics and received instruction. Page Fort 5' . f Song UPJOI If ll A CAPLLLA CHOIR li1ks'1' now: S. Bonben, V. Walkin- FIRST now: H. Nightingale, K.

The entire vocal department combined for fall and spring concerts this season. This gave the foun-fer students a chance to sing the more dini- l n o cult numbers with the assistance of the advanced l e lorry-two choir. These concerts proved so successful that their repetition next year is anticipated by the many people who enjoyed them this season.

The stage manager genially outlined the history of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, and intro-- duced the Gibbs and Wfebb families. George Gibbs and Emily Webb were married in an impressive and touching ceremony. Then the scene shifted to the cemetery, where the townspeople were patiently awaiting, not judgment, but greater understanding. When the new bride was lcd into their midst, she wanted to return to life, then it was pointed out that the past could not be relived, and truth was only in the future. The cast of S2 included Byron Gosden as the stage manager and Loyd Scovel as his assistant. Doc Gibbs, father of George and Rebecca, played by Warren Tarr and Ellen Morrison, was portrayed by Dick Bandfield. Ruby Stokes played the role of Mrs. Gibbs. The Webb family, neighbors of the Gibbs family, included Larry Danton, the father, and editor of the Evening Sentinel, and Shirley Rogers, his wife.

Other speaking parts included that of the first dead woman, Betty Landgraf, second dead WOIUQH, Marjorie Diekmann, first dead man, Bill Koester, the woman in the balcony, Marie Frye, the man in the back of the auditorium, John Talley, the woman in the box, Betty Mortensen, and Professor Willard, Berneita Bernett. ik The rattlebrained Rimplegar family portrayed by the junior class March 8, in their play, Three- Cornered Moon, by Gertrude Tonkonogy, amused an East High audience with their strange antics. When Mrs. Rimplegar, the dazed mother, sold out their moderate fortune to a margin broker, she left the family penniless. The children, who had always spent money lavishly, found themselves in dire circumstances, compelled to work at starva- tion wages. With the aid of Doctor Stevens, an old friend, they overcame the obstacles, forgot the wild schemes which formerly filled their minds, and found happier and more useful occupations. Cast in roles were Paul Young as Douglas, Jim Reed, Kenneth, Betty Jeffries, Mrs. Rimplegar, Minnette Frcrichs, Jenny the maid, Bob Clabby, Ed, Darlene Robertson, Elizabeth, Russell Millette, Donald, Jim Knittel, Dr. Alan Stevens, Jean and Jane Magee, Kitty and Katy.

At the Brindley meet held annually at Iowa State Teachers College, Cleora Davis and Harry Carl, negative, won five out of six. Other practice meets were held at Coe College. Teachers College High, Eldora Training School. and Mt. Pleasant. Debaters also participated in the Big Four Conference at Fort Dodge. Towards Poise Superior performances under excellent direction swept East students to high ranking in speech and dramatics contests. At Iowa City, April 27, where East's play, Happy Journey, was judged superior,', Zinita Taylor, Marie McCalley, Earl Winters, and John Kamaras entered the state prose and poetry reading contest in which both Zinita and Marie won usuperiorsf' Out of sixty-six entrants in the state radio contest, Jack Tromanhauser and Warren Tarr were listed among the top ten, with Jack Koloc and Bob Allen also rating high. An innovation by the English department was the speech festival to which eleven schools sent 215 representatives. For weeks in advance pre- liminary try-0utS were held in the schools to pick the final entries in the fields of verse choirs, one- act plays, original poetry, extempore reading of prose and poetry, reading of original poetry, prose reading, poetry reading, extempore speaking, and group discussion. When the final day of the festival came April 15, East's halls resounded with the voice of excited speech students. From the Little Theater came the echos of the six hundred riding into the Valley of Death and the soft whispers of i'Annabelle Lee, and in other rooms of the building, ex- tempore speakers calmly viewed prose and poetry to pick out the highlights, while radio artists ad- dressed the mikes in clear, expressive voices. The evening was devoted to verse choirs and one-act plays. Wfhen the final ratings were announced, East and West High Schools tied for top honors, each winning Hve superiors. However, East led her opponents in excellents, goods, and fairs. Superior winners for East included Zinita Taylor, who rated three top awards, Marjorie Og- den, and the play, Happy Journey. Excellents' were scored by East,s play, Last Flight Overf, directed by Betty Jordang Dick McKinstry, who won two excellentsg Marie McCalley, Jack Tromanhauser, and Mark Flan- ders. and Persuasion Planned to aid students in adapting themselves socially to their school and after-school life, the East High speech program reaches each individual and guides his development along the lines of his particular speech needs. Supplementing the older form of declamatory work, interpretive reading is introduced in all English classes as a more natural and unaffected activity in which the student aims to convey the thoughts and feelings of the printed page to his audience entertainingly. Selecting, appreciating, and analyzing radio programs expands into classroom presentation of original broadcasts adapted to the interpretation of units in all classes from social sciences to voca- tional groups through use of the newly-acquired amplifying system. Dramatizations, many of them original, are encouraged throughout the school. This year over one-third of all the boys and girls in school have appeared on East's stage in either an evening play, the Nativity,', a one-act play, Swing's the Thing, or in a student audi- torium.

With the aim of developing more constructive thinking, a system of student self-government, and parties for all groups of students, the student council successfully carried through its 1939- 1940 program under the able supervision of Miss Margaret Barnes and Coach Leonard Raffensperger. Nineteen gay parties were conducted by Co- chairmen Louise McCoy, Ruth Eickelberg, and Lindsey Decker, the first semester, and Jane Went- land and Jack Logan, second semester. For a second consecutive year the study hall honor system proved a success. The citizenship committee in charge of this monitor plan for the first semester was directed by Verona Nelson and Bill Klein and for the second semester by Bill Klein. Spirited auditorium programs, including a lively homecoming celebration and East's first swing show, Byron Gosden's Swing's the Thing, co-sponsored by the band, were arranged by the student council committee of which Byron Gosclen and Ruby Stokes were eo-chairmen. Page Fifty the Students The council's ushering committee, headed the first semester by Jean Donnell and Jim Knittel, and the second semester by June Quint and Gib Glasson, supervised ushering at all school produc- tions and public functions at East. The 1940 hobby show set a new high in en- thusiasm, expert organization, and excellence of the hobbies entered due largely to the increased efforts of eouneilmen and their chairman, Jim Lyon. Council-sponsored group discussions under the direction of A. J. Draper aimed at promoting bet- ter relationships between students and their par- ents, friends, and teachers. Composed of representatives from all first period rooms and headed by President jim Lyon, Vice-president Betty Jordan, Secretary Marjorie Diekmann, and Treasurer Ellen Morrison, the 1939-1940 council carried through the program established by the nrst council four years ago- to help as many students as possible get as much as possible out of high school life.

I Russell Starr, instructor, gives YVallace Lown a few pointers on machine drawing as Bob Carpenter observes. Wfayne Hoofnagle in the foreground draws at his desk. Four semesters of mechanical drawing introduce students to prin- ciples and skills of drawing and the use of tools. I Rosemary Gibbs puts the shuttle through the warp threads of the loom, lirances Rohle uses beater to make the pattern close and even, while Marjorie Ogden manipulates the levers that raise and lower warp threads. Wfeaving is one of the variety of activities which girls in homemaking class enjoy. ln addition to craft work, students study personality and grooming, home management, child development, and care of the sick. I Norma Hendrickson types a stencil, Darlene Sauser staples tests, Elwanda Mildenstein manipulates the comptom- eter, while Mary Jean McMillan uses the adding machine, and Annette Hutton practices on the clictaphone. This is charac- teristic of the work done by students in the business practice ofhce. This ofiaee turns out typing and duplicating for the entire school district and takes charge of the activities' accounting system. I Bookkeeping students pour over textbooks, journals, and ledgers, learning the elementary principles of the double- entry system. Practical material applicable to the students' private life is stressed. Q Aiming at accuracy and speed, typing ll students take special care for proper punctuation and spacing. Time tests, letter-writing, tabulation exercises, and straight copy typing comprise the work. Inside the Classrooms Q Mildred Bernett, Evelyn Bouclc, Gilbert Frye, Beverly Quinn, Arlene Thompson, Merwyn Hall, and Louise Car- penter discuss an American literature study unit in the English conference room. Designed to Hr individual needs, the English course trains in self-expression, interpreta- tion and analysis of reading material, and in choosing leisure reading for enrichment of living. I A boys, physical education class limbers up in knee- bend formation. These classes include not onl formal Y gymnastics but also basketball, baseball, volley ball, touch football, soccer and swimmin . Students artici ate in 1 3 P P golf. tennis, and badminton intramural tournaments during class time on Tuesdays and Thursdays and after school. I Aquatically-inclined femmes pose before a recreational swim in the pool. The Cheatham twins, Mary and Louise, safeguard the lives of their chums as they enjoy an after- sehool swim. Hiking, bicycling, tennis, softball, decli tennis, volley ball, track, badminton, soccer, ping pong, and basketball are additional sports in the physical educa- tion program in which girls participate. O ln the true spirit of democracy, self-government is practiced in the study hall, the students who supervise the study hall being chosen by a student council com- mittee. They are given the power of taking roll and grant- ing privileges. Leisure time reading is encouraged as the students have access to a complete adjoining library. I Darlene johnson, Ann Fowler, Louise McCoy, and Mary Fillos experiment, using beakers, test tubes, and Bunsen burners, essential equipment in the chemistry laboratory. Other sciences include physics, plane and solid geometry, and algebra. I Maxine Ahlhelm and Aileen Fambro observe the newtsg Gertrude Hayes, Carra Geiger, and Betty Hue peer through the microscope. Wlztching the collared lizzard in the terranium are Vlfayne Peterson, Richard W'ahl, Merrild Fortune, and Imogene Rogus. Projects in the biology room include the study of all phases of life and the ap- plication of biological laws. I Betty ,lean -lefferies and Ann Fowler compare their translation of Caesar's Gallic 'Wars, while the students in the bacli of the room watch Fdyth Mae Grove, Ellen Kelley, and Jim lfisher at the board illustrating Latin derivatives. I The projection room, scene of much of the visual educa- tion activity at lfast, is fitted with approximately N750 in equipment including 5 projectors, a microphone, and a record player. ln this social science class shot. Bill Smith is furnishing continuity at the milie while Leon Moss runs the projector. 5 They Learn East's Traditions An exceptionally social-minded group of sopho- mores found their way into the halls of East High this year. All the parties given for the sophomores proved to be exceptional successes. Most of the clubs boasted new highs for sophomore member- ship, for tenth graders seemed to be in everything. In athletics the boys had an outstanding basket- ball team. They also made good showings in foot- ball, wrestling, and track. The all-school play disclosed dramatic talent in numerous under- classmen. Some excelled in debate. Quite a number of music loving sophomores won medals and high ratings in music competition. In addition to all their activities it seems they still had time for regular classroom work, judging from the repeated appearance of many of their names on the honor roll. With two more years to go, this group of over two hundred energetic students should roll up an enviable record for themselves and for the school. 10 15's . . FIRST Row: C. james, D. Rolotf, I..

Already mid-year graduates are finding their places in the economic order. Some of them have gone into oHices, plants, retail firms, and shops, some to try to ascend the ladder of achievement from the lowest rung. Others of the mid- term class are pursuing further academic courses before entering the business or professional world. Basing predictions upon results of the survey of the class of 1939, about 18 per cent of the present class will continue their education. Nearly 77 per cent should find employment within a year. With such statistics on which to base their hopes, East's graduates of 1940 march out into society prepared to make their contributions to its progress. 8, f 1 1 A T, W, , 4: w V I V V 4 Group photography by HOLLET'f,S STUDIO Waterloo, Iowa Er1gra'L'i11g by XVATERI.OO ENGRAV Waterloo, Iowa Prinling by STEXVART-SIMMONS Whterloo, Iowa . .
