Y CD U T I-4 IQLLI For twenty-eight years East High students and faculty have been guided by a man who believed in his students and taught them to be square shooters. Today East High School stands as a memorial to his achievements. Although a very busy man, he was never too hurried to help a student solve a problem, to Welcome back an alumnus, or to call out a jovial greeting to those who came into the office. This year for the twenty-eighth time, he will inspire a graduating class to make the World a better place. The good he has accomplished through his students can never be reckoned, but his record is far above that hoped for by most men. In recognition of his inspiring leadership, his success as a principal and as a personal friend of his students, his cheerful participation in all school affairs, and his tireless attempts to better East High, and With the deepest gratitude that We have had the privilege of knowing him and studying under his supervision, We dedicate this 1941 Trojan ' to Principal Fred I. Miller. His ideals and aspira- tions for East High Will live forever in the hearts of those who have known him. X x .

Although de- layed three weeks by a city-wide epidemic of polio- myelitis, a large cast of eight hundred and ninety-six reported on September 23, to play their roles before the footlights. The sophomores, as understudies, began their training: the juniors, familiar with their stage, aspired to add more meaning to their lines, while the seniors, as experienced actors, hoped to star in the final stands of their high school career. On the set they found the producer and a group of capable directors ready to guide their talent. Supporting the drama by their foresight and financial backing were the Board of Education who provide the essential equip- ment for a stellar production. So it's places, everybody, house lights, curtain for Act I of TROIAN YOUTH, 1941. .

PQoeQAM FoQ ALL Enrolling a larger student body every year and constantly expanding its facilities to offer each student training he needs to adjust himself to the world of which he is a part, East High today holds a high rank in educational circles. For those. pupils interested in college, the curriculum provides adequate preparation in English, the social studies, languages, arts, and sciences. Musically-minded students have access to one of the best equipped music departments in the state of lowa. This music annex also houses the mechan- ical arts departments where shop classes re- ceive instruction in mechanical drawing, wood- working and metals. Also in the vocational de- partment is the print shop. All these classes offer advanced training through part-time work in industrial plants. T The model apartment serves as a back- ground for inducting girls in the arts of personal and social living, while the commercial depart- ment, with its modern business machines, pre- pares students to meet requirements of Waterloo employers of office help. The physical education program places ,most of its emphasis on sportsmanship. For those excelling in certain sports, athletic teams in football, basketball, wrestling, track, tennis, and golf are formed. Students participate in the government of the high school and supervise many of the school activities. East High has kept pace with modern trends, and its doors are always open to new and bet- ter ideas in education. t t t Page 9 A. Peterson, C. Hansen, G. Thorne, L. Raffensperger, M. Blough, M.

Reluct- antly, vacation-Weary students settled down to the task of scanning the papers daily for the first Word of the date the ban would be lifted. East High's faculty was getting anxious, too, for many had attended summer schools and were ready to give East High students outlooks with which to face the World of today. So they came to school a Week early, laboring those hot September days to outline programs of study and policies of administration that would make the year's work more practical than any that had preceded it. ' The faculty members met and discussed problems pertinent to a democratic and creative school. Forming committees, they considered plausible solutions, unhampered by time lim- itations. At the end of the Week of conferences, they all decided that each had a better under- standing of his role in relation to his colleagues, more enthusiasm for adjusting his Work to the needs of the students, and a more adequately organized procedure for the first days of school. Page 10 The camera caught some of these groups in discussion. Although many of the teachers Worked on several committees, they are pictured here with the unit of major importance. Formed last year is a group of faculty mem- bers known as the Guidance Committee. As its name implies, it is primarily a committee to shape the school program so that the individual student can adjust himself to his school environ- ment and to the work-a-day World of which he soon becomes a part. Each student receives individual attention in planning his high school schedule. Coach Leonard Raffensperger heads the group as chairman. Miss Margaret Barnes and Miss Grata Thorne interview the lOB girls and direct them in making the necessary adjust- ments. Miss Carrie M. Hansen acts as one of the employment counselors for students Want- ing part time work or a full time job at gradua- tion. Arthur Peterson, vocational co-ordinator, and Miss Marguerite Blough, head of the English Department, complete the committee personnel. F. Black, V. Knoche, M. Camp- bell, V. Older, L. Strope. ily, Sli Ula lam 52, One of the factors the junior and senior classes need is competent faculty advisors. East High has always had this type of advisors, and tra- dition is carried on this year with the Misses Marie Campbell and Grata Thorne as junior advisors, and the Misses Leola Strope and Velma Older as senior class advisors. As Miss Viola Knoche and Miss Florence Black are faculty members who have often acted as class advisors, they are pictured here as councillors for this year's advisors. Uppermost in the mind of junior sponsors are the plans for the prom, while for senior sponsors, measurements for caps and gowns, choice of announcements, and senior breakfast arrangements loom important. This group are not jig-saw enthusiasts, they are merely tearing apart the calendar and matching it with a list of scheduled events to plan the activities of the school year. Here you will find Cecil Kersten and jack Taylor, drama and speech teachers, Donald Baum, Herbert Goodwin, and Miss Elizabeth Green of the Music Department trying their very best to avoid schedule conflicts so that the junior play wouldn't be given the same evening as the orchestra's spring concert. East High has en- joyed one of the finest school programs it has ever had due to this group's efforts. Q ll, I. Taylor, D. Baum, E. Green, C. Kersten, H. Goodwin. Page 1 1 C MAJ, ,fA2ca1fi0n5lQceiue.fgf1fen1fi0n Of lvl Hugh Logan, Gordon Bute, and Russell Starr, as they are pictured here might be discussing the co-relation of the various shop and craft classes. Their domain is the first floor of the annex Where they try to equip each East High boy who enrolls in their courses with a knowl- edge of the industrial crafts. Training mentally and physically is also a part of the course offered. Shop instructors are instrumental in securing positions for the fellows who come through the course in satisfactory style. Last year a part time course was offered for the first time. Going out to Work in business firms of the city half of the day, the boys gain ex- perience which may result in their securing a job. ' Without advisors, clubs of the school would find themselves lacking guidance. So that clubs would be able to meet on non-conflicting dates, these club advisors organized the club programs, and discussed club advisorship. Some of the clubs of East High have been di- rected this year by Miss Lillian Enlow, librarian, Miss Edna Mae Rittenhouse, English instructor, Lyla Sill, girls' physical education instructor, and William Waters, mathematics mentor. If a club is outstanding in achievement, the club advisor is usually the guiding force back of the club's prominence. G. Bute, H. Logan, R. Starr. E. Prizler, L. Enlow, E. Rit- 1 tenhouse, L.

Wiolfie r01,1,la,,Jlincufzce ommilffee For the first time in East High's history, a movie camera ground away for foot after foot of film to record the highlights of the year's events. Made primarily that students and their parents might know of school activities, this film has grown to a thirty-minute run. Arnold Luce and Mark Flanders were in charge of the pho- tography, Miss Kathryn Rogers and her art classes of the scenery, and Miss Eva L. Smith and some of her English literature students of the script. The Camera Club is assembling and editing the film. The movie is to be con- tinued yearly to preserve a complete record of East High. These faculty members held the purse of the organizations by regulating the activities DIRECT PYQCJ FCTS of the accounting system .Each member had charge of an activity, and all joined in forming regulations to govern organizations putting their funds in the school treasury. Candy sale profits were divided among the organizations par- ticipating in the sales. Each group's money was handled separately under the direction of Ralph Le Moine, new commercial instructor, who supervised the activities accounting system. This group, Miss Iosephine McElroy, of the history department, Miss Ferne Parkhill, com- mercial instructor, Robert Redmond, law and bookkeeping instructor, Harry Sievers, physical education mentor, and Ralph Le Moine appar- ently are discussing the technique of the ac- counting system. Page H .Ze efftfng CW.f,f.fe.L m,fAe HBH To these students a new world of education opened in September, a world which never before had offered -such privileges. This era was packed with fun and enjoyment in addition to extensive study. Among the absolutely necessaries, these students found World His- tory and English which were required subjects in addition to physical education. These tyros discovered a great range of studies from which they had the privilege to choose, including such interesting subjects as biology, geometry, foreign languages, book- keeping, and business arithmetic. To provide added fun and enjoyment there were such extra-curricular activities as football, tennis, golf, band, orchestra, glee club, track, debate, and numerous others. A cultured social atmosphere of no equal proved another fine advantage extended to these students and citizens of whom America will be proud. 10 A's- Upper Picture . . . First Row: M. Neal, B.

TEN A STUDENTS 5i.,,..J,..f.......J,.,4.,f.,..... This group of students have found their place in East High and are now establishing a name for themselves. No longer are they a cluster of timid novices, but they are among the leaders of senior high, setting fine examples for new students to follow. In this class may be found some excellent students with scholastic records of a high calibre. Many of them are members of the debate squad, which had an unusually suc- cessful season. The band and orchestra's roster lists many of these students. The field of sports in East High claims a galaxy of these members of the class of 43 . The football and basketball teams had staunch contributions from the steady work of these students while the golf and tennis teams were completely composed of members from this group. Due to their steady work all four East High coaches are looking forward to champion- ship teams. Don't be surprised if some of this group appear in large stage productions in a few years as there is outstanding dramatic talent in this class. Prominent social leaders of the future are to be found in this group. Many of them are al- ready executives of school clubs. Here are some of the students who are making East High one of the finest schools in the state. Page 15 HMiLIfcA Ourcycfead Waferiagze, H Kaufion H 3,811 After a year of adjusting themselves to East l-ligh's curriculum, the juniors now know their way around and have passed into the inter- mediate division oi the student body. By now most of the juniors have made deti- nite plans tor the future. Some have chosen the colleges and universities they plan to attend and are studying to gain knowledge necessary to pass entrance examinations. Those who are not planning to continue their learning at higher schools are carefully preparing themselves for the business or industrial world. School lite is becoming more interesting and exciting for the juniors as opportunities in extra- curricular activities and social events increase. A highlight in the year's activities was the junior class play, The Cat and the Canary, pre- sented April l8. Ten juniors emerged victorious from the tryouts, with Zinita Taylor and Gib Glasson in the leading roles. Throughout the year the juniors have been loyal supporters ot the parties held on Friday nights in the Little Theater. The activity paramount in the minds oi juniors, as the school year drew to a close, was the prom. Iuniors entertained the seniors the evening ot May 23 at the Electric Park Ballroom to the strains of Don Dodge's Avalon Orchestra. First Row: R. Kelley, R. Broell, D. Chapman, D. Draves, M. Oman, I.

DEMCDCRACY IN ACTIGN Under the guidance of Miss Margaret Barnes and Coach Leonard Baffensperger, Bast's stu- dent governing council composed of 32 stu- dents elected by their home rooms, organized projects and stimulated the morale of the entire student body. The executive committee included Paul Young, president: Betty Snyder, vice-president, Zinita Taylor, secretary, and Louise McCoy, treasurer. Finance committee activities were organized by Louise McCoy, social by Ruth Bickelberg and lack Logan, auditorium and pep by Marie McCalley and Dick Mitchelly Get-acquainted with-your-school by lean Donnelly ushers by Betty Bandfield and Bob Allenp citizenship by Betty Snyderp and the study hall-library com- mittee by Boger Stephens. The first semester student council held its meetings every other Tuesday morning in the library. They also met once a month in the Homemaking apartment for a dinner prepared by members of the council with a meeting and discussion immediately following. Their dis- cussion included many problems of the school and also many important events which they sponsored during the year. ' The Student Council organized plans for Homecoming on October 18 with the clubs cooperating in decorating the halls and rooms, and in arranging the program. The homemaking girls prepared and served an informal tea for the visiting alumni. Although not all the people who attended registered, the roster totaled 183, the largest number of visitors ever recorded at the Homecoming festival. First Row: Z. Taylor, D. Robinson, H. I.

EASTGNIANS PRCDGRESS Under the auspices of the council, A. I. Draper, student consultant representing the Youth Serv- ice Program of the Iowa Congress of Parents and Teachers, spent two days at East. In group discussions Tuesday and Wednesday in the English conference room he directed stu- dent thinking toward answering problems of family, boy and girl, and teacher and pupil relationships. The citizenship committee worked with a committee from the faculty to consider the tardy problem. They decided there would be less confusion if the tardy students secured admits to class from first period teachers rather than from the office. Each teacher then was to determine the penalty for tardies in his own room. The success of this new method is ap- parent in the smaller amount of tardies first semester. First semester last year had 898 tardies while the corresponding period this year showed only 600, an improvement of 298. The student council was of service to the whole school by taking tickets for pay audi- toriums, providing timekeepers for debate tour- naments, and furnishing ushers for many school affairs. A new group this semester was the Get- acquainted-with-your-school'' committee, who had charge of posting pictures and information about students who took part in various school activities and clubs. This material was posted on the bulletin board case on the second floor across from Principal Miller's office. According to custom, the student council conducted the campaign for the sale of the activity tickets. This was done by each room representative pushing the sale by pep talks. An auditorium presenting all the activities sup- ported by the activity fund as well as the events which students attend on activity tickets was arranged. Getting subscriptions for the 1941 annual and selling tickets for Stage Door and Swing's the Thing were other sales promotion feats of the council. Bulletin board publicity arranged by council committee: Don Kelly leads group discussion, Leona Neubauer, Naomi Behner, and Iuanita Widdell sell candy after school as part of council organized candy sales group: Thus the Fates Spin Wins homecoming room decoration contest for Miss Campbell's Latin enthusiasts, finale of activities auditorium sponsoring sale of activity tickets: Paul Fagerlind, student monitor, at study hall desky doll collection of hobby show, a council-hobby club enterprise. The auditorium and pep committee spon- sored several student auditoriums with students participating in the program and students pre- siding. Some outstanding auditoriums have been the play dramatizing the student activities, the Homecoming, Christmas, and Armistice Day programs. The finance committee of the student coun- cil under the supervision of Miss Florence Black and Miss Elizabeth Green worked out a new system of responsibility for selling candy after school, at basketball games, and football games, and for distributing the resulting funds to the clubs.

Under the advisorship of William I. Waters, mathematics instructor, and under the sponsor- ship of the Y. lvl. C. A., the I-li-Y Club held weekly meetings at the Y the first semester. The second semester the club met on alternat- ing Wednesdays in the gym at school Where they were free to swim and play basketball after a short business meeting.

GRIDSTEQS succsstia-f.,..,f.w...l.12 ..., . Football practice, postponed for about a month because of the late opening of school, made it necessary to cancel two games, one with Roose- velt, Cedar Rapids, the other with McKinley, Cedar Rapids, both of which undoubtedly would have been the easiest games on East's schedule. As the season opener, a squad of fifty boys, after working from four until dark every night, showed good spirit and defeated Dubuque, 7 to 6. Having to play the seven of the toughest teams East High ever played in one season, East had a team that didn't know when it was beaten. They out-fought every opposing team but one, East Des Moines. Win- ning but two games out of seven, the team concluded a moderately successful season. The results of East's l94O series of gridiron encoun- ters records the following: October 4: East. 7: Dubuque. 6-There Leon Pike scored with a 70-yard run while Iohn Tedore made the extra point good on a line smash.

FIELD mott to Stephens for the touchdown. D. Pike made the extra point. The team elected james Brooks as captain. He was the smallest back on the team and was noted for his blocking in offense and tackling on defense. He was awarded honorable men- tion as halfback by the 'lowa Daily Press As- sociation. Leon Pike was the leading scorer this year, totaling 30 points. He was noted for his line smashing and punting. Third high scorer last year, he played halfback on the team for three years. Dick Marble, utility back, made his first let-- ter this year, but he has been a member of the squad for three years, receiving minor awards previously. Dick Mcliinstry acted as captain and called signals. In addition he played guard on of- fense and backed up the line on defense. jack Logan, smallest man on the line, might be considered the fifth man on the opponents' backfield, so effective was his fast charging. Henry Petersen, who played tackle on de- fense, was one of the heaviest men on the team. Alec Lawrance played tackle on an offense and defense. He was dubbed Big Sun the second because he carried the ball on a tackle around as Big Sun used to do. Harold Wenthe played tackle both on of- fense and defense, following in the footsteps of his brother, Lawrence. Harold Zell, Ed Haven, and Don Lauritson were senior minor letter winners who made the first team line worry and work harder for their position on the team. Other major awards went to Bob Updegraff, Don McDermott, Estel Warren, Dwight Pike, john Tedore, Paul Pagerlind, and Boger Steph- ens. They were juniors and did a good job in every respect throughout the season. Vinton jones and Kenneth Greening, also juniors, re- ceived minor letters. jack Allen, a sophomore, also received a minor letter. Paul Pagerlind, and Dwight Pike were the most improved line men for the year, while james Brooks' tackling was outstanding, and john Tedore's passing merited recognition.

During East's debating season this timely proposi- tion was debated by 32 students in over 375 debates . Through- out the season the 'students debated primarily for the purpose of developing skill in public speaking, organization of thought, and correlation of knowledge. Although it is most desirable to win, winning or losing a decision is always incidental to accomplishing these three aims. ' Page 38 C. Davis and I. Logan, negative. Iack Taylor, forensics coach. I.

East l-ligh's 1940 debate season drew to a close with the team, comprised of Dick lvlcliinstry and Iudson Decker, affirmative, and Cleora Davis and Iack Logan, negative, traveling to Iowa City to rate good in the state forensic tourney. It was the first time in the history of East that a debate team won the right to participate in the state tournament. The debaters were coached by Iack Taylor, East High speech instructor. Ratings for the season in eleven major meets in which East partici- pated include: tieing for first place at Oelwein, tieing for second place in the Brindley tournament at Teach- ers College, and in the Big Four meet, winning first in the Class B at West High and Luther College tour- neysp and ranking second in the Class A at Decorah and in the district encounter. East's logicteers also entered com- petition at Drake University in Des Moines, Mount Pleasant, and Coe College at Cedar Rapids, in addition to East's own meet, which was one of the largest debate tournaments in the middle west, drawing 20 schools from a 150 mile radius. glad .7AeA,9ian:I .gale .fgowbence .7!Lr0 The dramatic season opened with the all-school presentation of the Kaufman and Ferber play, Stage Door, a story of the conflict between the tinsel and glitter of the movies and the sincerity and warmth of the stage.

U B J,,i,,ff,i.,,fe, WML wwe, ln previous years, East's embryonic scientists and biologists were members of separate clubs known as the Phi-Chem and Biology organiza- tions. At the beginning of the present school year these groups merged into one, assuming the name, East High Science Club. Striving to promote greater interest in science projects outside regular classroom activities, the club, under the advisorship of Miss Velma Older, biology teacher, and Arnold Luce, chemistry and physics instructor, has concluded a successful year. With potlucks featured during the fall and winter, the major spring activity was the nature study hike, when the club members transformed an ordinary May day into a delightful jaunt in the woods by not only observing, but also Page 40 examining nature's make-up. Holding their meetings bi-weekly, the Science club, listing fifteen members, conducted interesting experiments and discussions at their get togethers, held in the biology laboratory immediately following the regular school period. Headed by Marvel Decker, president, and Margaret Seagraves, secretary-treasurer, the group also has an executive committee com- prised of Decker, Seagraves, Fawn Walters, and Don Kelly. Affiliated with the Iowa Iunior Academy of Science, the new club is also a member of the American Institute of Science and Engineering Clubs. CU IQTAI N CALLS ecof .J WW.,...,,..4A d4.A...,.,,....,f.

To recognize the outstanding roles played by individuals and groups who have achieved honors in a variety oi activities this year we introduce Curtain Calls . Although these are only a few of the many who have made the drama of Trojan Youth 1941 a success, they represent a cross section of those who have contributed commendable performances. Only through individual participation in all events sponsored by the school can We de- velop a democratic student body for a demo- cratic society. Page In the second act of East's 1940-41 drama, scenes shift, new settings gain significance, and themes of ' library science, art, music, and sports intrigue the actors. The interest, both of the actors and the audience, rises, for all are becoming absorbed in the activities of which they are a part. Many find themselves involved in a wide variety of episodes, While vigor and color combine to enlarge the plot of the drama. Each actor chooses, inter- prets, and enlarges his role himself, guided by the directors. So it's places, everybody, house lights, curtain for Act II of Trojan Youth l94l .

Interesting posters and exhibits which are posted in the library add to the general appearance of the library and give helpful information to the student. A course in library science is offered to those students who are interested and have grades of average or above. This course is substituted for an English course. However, students are required to do reading of the nature of the English course for which they are substituting. Students took or trip to a book binder's shop and also to East's own printing department where they learned the technique of book binding. Page 44 The addition of 877 reference and informal reading books last fall brought the total circu- lation in the library to 4,748. An attraction this year is the vocational guidance section. Books and pamphlets on all types of vocations have been collected to aid the student in choosing the vocation for which he is best suited. These books also suggest courses in high school and college which will be most helpful to him. According to records filled by librarians, 28,862 students used the library during the first semester, and 24,295 books were checked out at the desk. . Plans for next year include 1,200 feet of additional shelving for a reserve section. UA cqwire ,Sbciaf lmenified l N S U B - D E B At a spring preview of what the modern miss and her escort should wear to spring class events, Sub-Deb made a public appearance before the entire student body at an auditorium on May 19, as they presented fashion and etiquette do's and don't's for the 'teen-agers. For the first time the annual event included Duds for Dudes. The social year was launched by a sport dance at the Y. W. C. A. on November 9. It was further highlighted by a Valentine dinner on February ll, which was planned and pre- pared by the social committee and the chair- man, Byrdine Hartman. A party preceding the dinner was planned by the program committee. Qn April 7, the cabinet and committee mem- bers held a special meeting and supper to plan other events to further personal and social enrichment, the purpose of the organization. As a result a picnic was planned and held on May ll. Outstanding in the year's programs was the one given on December when Mrs. A. C. Prime demonstrated and explained Christmas table decorations. The program committee was headed by Elsie Foufas. The officers included Iune Quint, president, Norma Strumpel, vice-president, Norma Fischer, secretary, Helen Closson, treasurer. The club is under the sponsorship of Miss Grata Thorne.

PCR CREATIVE EXPRESSICDN The Art Club accomplished many interesting projects this year under the direction of Miss Katherine Rogers. The club held its business meetings every other Tuesday after school with the other Tuesday open for members to come in and work on projects they enjoyed. First semester executive committee was headed by Marguerite Anderson as president and Gene Wilson as secretary-treasurer. This group served faithfully to the end of their term and helped to elect someone who could fill their offices. These included Russell Millette, president, Louis Betts, vice-president, Louise Carpenter, secretary-treasurer. Russell Millette represented the Art Club at the Iowa City Art Exhibit. One of the major projects for this year was the cleaning of the room on the top floor of the school for an art museum. The purpose of this room was to have some place to put pieces of art that were too well done to throw away, and yet, there was no room in the art class room for them. It was agreed that at noon those who ate their lunch at school could come in and enjoy them. Three of the club members carved the plas- Page 46 ter paris carvings that appear in this annual. Betty Snyder carved the full statues of a boy and girl walking to school. The social dancing couple to represent winter was done by Russell Millette. The girl in the cap and gown for graduation was carved by Marguerite Ander- son. The journalism mural was recently com- pleted by five people, one of which was a club member, Russell Millette. Laurence Fisher con- tributed an interesting oil painting of his violin. Wood carving of figures and animals are prod- ucts of jim Koloc's efforts. Betty Snyder carved two figures in a walk-a-thon. A six inch pewter plate with an original etched design is Melvin Morgenson's masterpiece. One of the unusual projects is that of Roland Manley, who is ex- perimenting in carving wax. Some of the mem- bers prefer to draw and sketch. Among these are Vivian Ewalt and Louise Carpenter. Louise Carpenter also created two new pets out of soap: a teddy bear by the name of Pou Tang Aweoweo and a swoose named Alexander. Club members along with students in the art classes cut linoleum blocks for illustrating and decorating the Wooden Horse. 41.44, 5i4..,.iZu..,.!.,. STUDENTS' PASTIMIES With 163 entries, this year's hobby show topped past records. The exhibition this spring was under the auspices of the student council, with Miss Margaret Barnes as adviser, and lean and lane Magee in charge of the general setup. F or their winning entries, ten students received medals and 86 merited ribbons. Iunior Biggle received a medal for his orig- inal symphony orchestra composition, and Twila Tompkins won a medal in the home crafts division with her crocheted table cloth. For her carved wooden plate, Berniece Cole won the medal in the art section, and l awn Walters was awarded a medal for her collec- tion of insects and butterflies. Iunior Vose won the prize in the manual arts division for his cedar chest. Two medals were awarded to Richard Salz and Dexter Dennis for their air- plane and train models. Lindsey Decker, for his guns, Pat Pfaltzgraff, for her busts and biogra- phies of famous persons: and Betty Ieffries, for her clever group of books and book characters were awarded medals for their entries in the collections. Margaret Neal, with three exhibits, won the show prize for entering the most hob- bies in the show. b Throughout the week during which the hob- bies were on display in the school library, students could brouse about in the show room in their free periods. Student library assistants acted as guides at the exhibition. l-lobbies are popular at East High because they are enjoyable and serviceable. They are Melvin May and Louis Watson examine specimens in the collections exhibited by fellow students. not merely ways of using leisure but are a necessary outlet for self-expression. Tastes, moods, and pocketbooks govern the choices of Eastonians. Through the hobby shows many students discovered they had like interests. After the second exhibition, plans were made to enable them to meet in groups, and a hobby club was formed last spring. Miss Lillian Enlow con- sented to act as adviser for the club, and Betty Bandfield was elected president. During this year the club has had an active membership of 35 in addition to those interested in art and photography. Anyone who has some interest which occupies his extra time is eligible to join the hobby club. Twice a month the club holds an informal meeting in the school library. Some groups work on favors, scrap-books, and stamps. Other miscellaneous groups talk over their collections. Nearly every third meeting of the club is a social affair, usually in honor of a holiday. Games and conversation, followed by light refreshments are the content of these meetings. A demonstration on flower arrangement was an interesting feature of spring activity. lt is hoped that this will lead to a high school flower show in the fall. Page 47 hageanlfry ana! panfomime . .

Preparing the audience for the tableaux which was to follow, Dal Segno, the honor group of strings directed by Elizabeth Green, played a Christmas Medley. The A Choir, directed by Donald Baum, furnished inspiring Vocal music fitted to the changing tableaux on the stage. Page 48 The main characters were chosen by Cecil Kersten following tryouts of students, While the waits were selected from the glee clubs. Ed Haven, as the scribe, read the Christmas story during the production. This year's Nativity cast set a precedent by giving the production a second time the following Monday night at Black's tearoom for the Rotary Club. owic .J41!afA 6Aarm:5 WAen . Tl-IE A CAPELLA I-IARMCNIZES The a cappella choir again took the lead in furnishing East High With vocal music. Their first appearance this year was singing for the student-produced Armistice Day pro- gram. The cho-ir was next heard singing the inspiring vocal music for the Nativity. The most outstanding number interpreted at this time was The Three Kings, by Willan. The climax of this year's choir activities came With the overnight festival trip to Daven- port. There East High's choir, together with the choirs of Davenport and Dubuque, attended voice clinics and joint rehearsals. Herman Genhart, professor of music, gave special audi- tions to each choir and directed the massed chorus. N In the evening the East High choir com- bined with the other attending choirs to give a concert with Haydn's magnificent The Heavens Are Telling, with the festival orches- tra accompanying, as the finale. Cn May lO the East High choir was host to the Charles City choir for a music festival. Voice clinics and rehearsals of both choirs were held in the afternoon. ln the evening the two choirs combined to give a concert. Membership in the choir is secured by merit of musicianship and general good character. The other choral groups in the school are a source of material for the choir. The last appearance of the choir this year was their performance on the baccalaureate program. First Row: Z. Clemens, D. Robertson, L. Dally, D. Zopf, K. Campbell, A. Thompson, E. Kamaras, I.

Page 49 This year the highly ambitious Camera Club has undertaken a larger task than ever before. Under the direction of Mark Flanders, and as- sisted by the president, lean Donnell, the vice- president, Maurice Sampson, and the secretary- treasurer, Marvel Decker, the club has moved from the line of still photographs to the even more intriguing field of motion pictures. The year's project has been the writing, directing, and taking of a school movie en- titled East High on Parade. The movie con- sists of action -'shots of most East High events including the junior play, boys' and girls' gym classes, athletics, and many other subjects of Page 50 06WL9l 5L N S What scenes will best represent East? may have been in the minds of these camera club members as they discussed preparations for taking a school movie.

The film and the other costs of producing the movie were paid by the admission charged students for the first show- ing. Included also on the program Were several color slides and snapshots of East High shown through the projector. In spite of the tremendous amount of time and effort involved in the making of the movie, the club did find time at their regular meet- ings every other Monday to Welcome new mem- bers and to initiate them into the Wonders of photography by explaining some fundamentals. The meetings generally consisted of very in- teresting discussions and criticisms of pictures, both moving and still. NEWS STAFF East High's student publication, the Orange and Black, presents a bi-weekly picture of active school life, for the news-nosy reporters track down all facts while covering their beats. Climaxing the year's work were the awards given the staff. The Orange and Black ranked superior in the Iowa High School Press Associa- tion contest. This was the highest and only award of its kind in the state. The paper also won All-American in the competition sponsored by the National Scholastic Press Association.

Winning the Sectional tournament at Dysart by turning in two average games and one superior performance, Trojan basketeers added another trophy to the formidable array on display in the second floor corridor. In the first game little Bob Kuehnle, playing his best game of the year, was high point man, thus helping East High beat Belle Plaine 30 to 25. The second game was the closest game of the three with East on top with a one point margin over Dysart with a score of 30 to 29. In the final game East High's net-swishers hit their stride, collecting the highest score of the season and defeating Vinton 48 to 29. In the District, getting revenge and also advancing in the tournament, East High's spirited team defeated Dubuque's exceptionally tall quintet to the tune of 48 to 31. Returning the next night for the final game, East met Roosevelt of Cedar Rapids, a team East had defeated earlier in the season. Holding their Page 52 lb C'- eue foloecf cllormiofagd Ololoodilfion own most of the game, they tired in the last few, seconds while Emory Sample, all-state forward, got hot for Roosevelt and his team defeated East High in the last ten seconds 28 to 26. This game closed the high school basket- ball careers of Bob Lynn and Bob Kuehnle, major letter winners and Don DeBerg, Leon Gunderson, and Vernon Ohm, minor letter winners. Dick Kelly with 134 points walked off with scoring honors while Bob Lynn, 132 points, and Roger Stephens, 130 points, were close behind. Ralph Zegarac, Bob Kuehnle, and Don McDer- mott took fourth, fifth, and sixth places. The team made 20 per cent of their shots, and scored on an average of 28.7 points to their opponents 26 points per game. They won 16 games: lost 11. This average points per game, per cent of shots made, and games won and lost is better than that of the teams of the past two seasons. Cn the lowa daily Press Association team Bob Lynn received honorable mention while Roger Stephens rated honorable mention by lack North in the Des Moines paper. Bob Lynn, a senior, was second high scorer and the tallest player on the team. He played in 24 games and was elected by the team as captain. Roger Stephens, a junior, was third high scorer and also played in 24 games. The Varsity basketball team played 27 games, the largest number of games an East High team ever played in one year. It placed higher in the Mississippi Valley Conference than any team since Coach Raffensperger came here ten years ago. The team finished fourth in the Mississippi Valley Conference, winning 5 and losing 3. Although losing two games with West, the Trojans finished higher in the Mississippi Val- ley and went further in the tournament than their closest rivals. After the season got underway Bob Lynn was shifted from a guard into a first class center and did a good job at handling the re- bounds off both boards. The sophomores played 13 games, winning 8 and losing 5. E. Hultman and B. George tied for scoring honors with 62 points, and N. Cor- dary was second with 58 points. They played two overtime games, winning one and losing the other. RESUME' CI: SEASCN .i2s...4.... u4,...., VARSITY SCHEDULE - 1940-41 Won 5.

CRAPPLEIQS SCCIQE SUCCESS Wrestling one of their toughest schedules in recent years, the Trojan grapplers came through the season with a commendable record of eight wins and four defeats, one of these occurring at the hands of the State Champion Usage wrestlers, who won by a narrow four-point margin. Although State Champion H. Zell and B. Ryan graduated at mid-term, East con- tinued to score victories. Zell's place was filled by Vinton Iones, who is a promising heavy- weight. During his two years of wrestling, K. Cantwell, East's 95 pound grappler, has been beaten by only one boy, Styanoff of W'est Waterloo, state champion. The team elected Bob Ryan honorary cap- tain for the season of l94O-41. Of the ten major letter winners, six will graduate. Those gradu- ating are: W. Hudson, D. Widdel, B. Ryan, R. Millette, R. Sears and H. Zell. Wrestling in the Mississippi Valley Con- ference at West Waterloo, East High placed Page 54 second in a field of five. ln the Big Seven Meet, East placed fifth. Probably the peak of the season was the defeat of Fort Dodge, the l94l State Champions. We have had several teams at East composed of more brilliant performers but we never had a team equal to the current one in spirit and loyalty, commented Coach Harry Sievers on the past season.

Q.. Jlodlfer ,gioorlfdmawkip Among mgjfucfenlfdi 'Ever important as a major factor in upholding the schools' age old tradition of good sports- manship in all athletic encounters is East's Trojan Club, comprising thirty-seven members, all major letter winners. Under the advisorship of Leonard Raffens- perger, basketball and football coach, the club holds its meetings bi-weekly in the school gym- nasium, at which time there is a regular busi- ness meeting followed by basketball, swim- ming, and gymnastics. Sponsors of the spring football and the faculty basketball contests, the club also pre- sented a trophy to the winner of the grade school basketball tournament. Following the spring elections, the adminis- trative tasks were turned over to Paul Fager- lind, president, and Marvin Klenzman, secre- tary. During the fall the group was headed by Don McDermott, president, Leon Fike, vice pres- ident, and Roger Stephens, secretary. Featuring potlucks throughout the year, the club's activities were climaxed in late spring by a Trojan picnic. Furthering of girls' sports is one of the para- mount aims of the G. A. A., girls' athletic as- sociation, guided by Lyla Sill, girls' physical education instructor. A girl desiring membership in the club must attend meetings, pay dues, and earn 75 points. The club has two meetings a month, one busi- ness and the other social. The dues collected this year were used to pay for the transportation to the Dubuque play day, to decorate the second floor for home- coming, and to buy a radio with victrola attach- ments, twelve records, and a radio table.

Kersten, director of the play, applies make-up on l the face of Robert Morris. JM... IN MYSTERY DQAMA All the mystery, suspense, and excitement of a melodrama was achieved in the production of the junior class play, The Cat and the Canary by Iohn Willard. . The play was pro- duced on April 18, with Cecil A. Kersten as director and Meredith Smith as stage manager. The overture to the play was written by two members of the orchestra: Lloyd Cluniorl Biggle, a senior, solo clarinetist, and Donald Smith, a junior, solo trumpet. The players were: Charles Dierenfield as Roger Crosby, Claire Fry as Mrs. Saunders, Mark Flanders, Ir. as Harry Blythe, Carolyn Rollins as Susan Sillsbyp Marie McCalley as Cicely Young: Iim Koloc as Charles Wilder: Gib Glasson as Paul Ionesp Zinita Taylor as Page 56 Ann West, Robert Morris as Hendricks, a guard at asylum and Richard Williams as Patterson. The first act was set in the library of the late Cyrus Canby West home at Glencliff Manor on the Hudson. Act ll was in the next room a few minutes later, and the third act returned to the library following a short lapse of time. The plot revolved around the three wills, appearance of the cat, the valuable necklace and panel in the bedroom, the death of Crosby, the capture of the cat and the discovery that Charles Wilder is the cat. The curtain fell on a fond embrace between Paul and Ann with everyone in the audience breathing a sigh of relief after the terrific suspense and excitement of the preceding acts. H wgngl jig jim? H mmm .Auf Q N Outstanding in the season's activities was the annual all-school presentation of Swing's the Thing . This musical production won spirited applause from the audience of about 2,500 persons who saw it during the two nights. The show was written and directed by students with the aid ot tacultv advisors. Almost halt the student body were included in this extravaganza of eight main acts interspersed with ten specialty numbers. The opening chorus ot twenty people greeted the audience with the original lyric, Meet Your City, which introduced Waterlo'o to them. Uncle Sam and supporting chorines provided the colorful, patriotic, grand tinale ot the show. Page 57 Before the final curtain on Iune 6, the varied threads of interests introduced in Act I and Act II must mingle with still more strands, rise to a climax of enthusiastic par- ticipation, and draw to a satisfying conclusion. Out- standing performances will merit honors, directors will reap the reward of their untiring assistance in the success of their proteges, and the backers of the drama will feel gratitude for the sagacity of their policies, which they see materialized. The drama of Trojan Youth 1941 unfolds along the pattern of the American way of life for the applause of an interested audience of friends and critics.

That is the slogan of these new members of East High. Becoming acquainted is the first major problem facing these students. The change from junior high to senior is rather difficult. To meet this problem the faculty of East High have worked out a plan which has functioned nicely. The major part of this plan is carried on in the English classes. The first unit of the become acquainted unit is the drawing of a floor plan of the school. This plan doesn't have to be dimensionally perfect but must contain all the room numbers and subjects taught in these rooms. Next the students must learn how to spell each teacher's name. Iust learning the names of the faculty, however, is not sufficient. The new Eastonians are sent to interview many teachers and then report to their class. The library is also an important factor in the new students' activities, so considerable time is spent in teaching the facilities of East's library. To aid a student in finding books or references quickly, a floor plan is drawn show- ing where each type of book is located. Another step in this plan is learning about the many clubs which are open to the students. Individuals from each English class interview the presidents and advisors of these clubs and give an oral report to acquaint their class- mates with all the clubs. Knowing your fellow classmates is the foundation of the become acquainted plan. With the aid of this plan these novitiates found East High a friendly school, where students desire to become acquainted and enjoy their everyday associates. First Row: F. Mullen, I. Ackerman, H.

Ten students received medals and 86 'merited ribbons for their winning entries. One of the problems for the citizenship com- mittee this year was keeping the halls and classrooms clean and free from wastepaperp also washrooms and lockers neat. On this committee were Bob Carpenter, Betty Snyder, Iohn Holler, and Harry Samuelson. Under their guidance the entire student body responded to the undertaking with admirable results. Iane Wentland, Roger Stephens, and Iudson Decker represented the council at the youth conference held at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on April l6. Delegates to the youth conference at Ames, Iowa, were: Roger Stephens, Pat Donnell, Don Morphew, and Bonnie Iones. Pat Donnell was chosen as one of six students to talk over WOI, the radio station at Ames, on the topic Prob- lems of the High School Girl. The social committee has sponsored parties every Friday night when no other activity was held. Only 150 tickets were sold for each party in order to keep the groups small enough for all the participants to get acquainted. Among the outstanding parties were roller-skating events at Felix Rollerdrome, with l8O at each party, the lOB parties in September and Febru- ary, and the parties held after basketball games. The study hall and library committee, under the leadership of Roger Stephens, organized the student government for the study hall and library. Because of the fine cooperation of the school, it is considered unusually successful. The council sponsored Monday night prac- tices for students who wished to learn the tech- niques of ballroom dancing, with capacity crowds each time. These practices were open to both juniors and seniors who wanted to learn to dance in preparation for the prom. ln the first fifteen minutes of the first period class the room representatives led discussions on the students' philosophy. The aim of these discussions was to change the attitude of the students from one of what can l get for nothing to one of what can l do to serve my school, and later on my country.

PLAYS VICTQIQY MAQCI-4 After staging many public performances, East's band takes a bow as being known as one of lowa's leading high school musical organiza- tions. ln April, the organization travelled to Daven- port where they appeared in the Tri-City Festi- val program. Then East High was host to a new two-day festival made up of Northeast lowa bands in May. This promises to be an annual band event at East. Tone quality surpassing size, the band was honored as it played for the annual Iowa Bandmasters Convention in Cedar Rapids. Page 62 To provide practical experience for the con- cert band players, Herbert Goodwin, band di- rector, inaugurated a series of Sunday afternoon concerts. These short concerts, at which no admission was charged, were well-received by their audiences. Many national and state contest winners comprised the personnel of East High's band this year. As the grand finale to an active year, the Vxfaterloo Iunior Chamber of Commerce again sponsored a massive Iune music festival in which East's group participated. owzfc Gnlfedlf N 'fQn to the National! That was the cry of battle of the contest-minded East High musicians who had attained the right to enter the na- tional contest in Minneapolis. These musicians represented those who had satisfied the sub- state judges, convinced those' of the state: then they began working toward gaining the high- est honors possible to any high school musician. During the latter part of winter ,these stu- dents started Working on compositions which would require months of practice before they would be presentable for contest. After hours of strenuous rehearsal, they were ready for contest entrance. The sub-state contest was not one to fear but just a caution. Then came the contest which eliminated the good musicians from the finest, the state. These were the musicians who proved their ability in notes and tones as being superior. This group Was made up of twenty-two solos and ensembles. The solos were under the classification of flute, piccolo, English horn, oboe, B flat clarinet, alto and tenor saxophones, cornet, fluegel horn, student conducting, and harp. The ensembles Were: a double reed trio, Woodwind trio, quartet, and quintet, B flat clari- net quartet, mixed clarinet quartet, brass quin- tet, saxaphone quartet, Cornet quartet, and drum ensemble. lf any individual distinction should be made, it should be bestowed on the musicians who finished their high school careers this year.

SPRING LUIQES EASTONIANS . . . .7 Following a chilling overtime, the spring breezes defeated the winter blasts by a tem- perature of 60 degrees to 32 degrees. As a result Eastonians after six months of hiberna- tion resumed their semi-weekly gym classes in the clear and fresh out-of-doors. Baseball held the spotlight in the boys' classes, with an occasional day set aside for track activities. After baseball teams were chosen, the boys began round robin tourna- ment play. Marching was also stressed in the boys' gym classes. Under regulation marching orders, the gymsters were directed by student captains in marching to and from the stadium. Lured by the warm weather, the girls' gym classes have moved from their winter quarters to the stadium. Since the latter part of April, the activity program has changed from volley-ball, basket- ball, and ping-pong to soft ball, tennis, and Page 72 rom owaroom ja Oulfcloor !9uM1f1,iL'A track. Dividing into four teams, the girls played regulation soft ball. East's team, comprised of the better players from the classes, met West High late in the season. Tennis enthusiasts who have bikes or cars went to either Pat's Pond or to Cedar River Park to practice during their gym period. From those interested, a girls' team was organized. . For those who preferred a track program, javelin, shot put, discus, and running events were offered. Also golf and archery furnished activity for a few who requested it. All this is but a glimpse of the spring out- door health program at East High. Through these activities the department aims to develop within the individual a more ef- fective play life, abilities to adjust himself to enter adult groups, lofty principles, a sense of social standards, and a recognition of health and safety factors.
