Alter several years the preliminary plans have been made for the junior highs. .-X new problem which has arisen in the past year is the increased enrollment in grade schools. This is particularly true in the Edison. I,owell and Irving school districts. This will neces- sitate new schools or additions on the present schools. The addition erected on the Lincoln school, completed last year. helped solve the increased enrollment in that area. The board is working to improve teachers' salaries in this district. slilll was added to con- tracts during the late part of 1946. Members ex- Destinie press the hope that teachers' salai'ies can attain a level equal to that of any in the state of Iowa. In addition to being on the board of education these men play an important part in the business world. Xlr. XIcKinstry is president of the National banlv of Xvaterloog Mr. Donnell is seci'etary of the Rath Ilaclxing companyg Nlr. Seidler is assistant chief inspector of john Deere Tractor company: Hr. Taylor is secretary of XY'eston-Barnett Inc.. advertising agency: Mr. Dewees is cashier at the Peoples Savings hanltg Xlr. Ilarr is division manager of the Iowa Public Service company, and Nlr. Horslund is the owner of the D 86 D Iiood Prod- ucts company. Devoted to the tasls of providing the best schools possible for XY'aterloo youth, these men give infinite time and concern to developing all phases of our educational program. Firs! rnzr: Win. A.

Parr. ds For the Welfare of Youth In these days of an acute shortage of teachers ,lack M. Logan finds the task of iilling 330 teaching positions in the system an important phase of his role as superintendent of schools. Equally important is the responsibility for stimulating the thinking of this group of educators so that they will create a program of vital experi- ences for the students in their Classrooms. To do this he recognizes that he needs to be concerned, not only with what is going on in the classroom today, but also with what should be included in the curriculum of the future. During the past year under Mr. i.ogan's super- vision approximately 51,100,000 went into im- provements in the educational program to enable XVaterlo0 students to have broader experiences in democratic living. .Z Miss Lorraine Rose, secretary to Superintendent Jack Logan, is aided by Ramona Cooper, senior student. Gives the CK A man who enjoys working with people and receives immense satisfaction from seeing young people do well in tasks they undertake is Principal Charles L. Hoffman. Mr. I'IoFfman's position keeps him both young in spirit and broad-minded and gives him an opti- mistic outlook. He believes that the profession of education provides an opportunity to contribute to society the best that a person has to offer. East high's program under Mr. Hoffmaifs direction is set up to give students more than a mere accumulation of factual knowledge. It aims to help each student develop traits that will enable him to create a more democratic tomorrow. Taking care of the office routines is Miss jenn Dewees, who is assisted by Betty Jean Andrews, senior stu- dent. ex Leonard Raifens- perger and Edna Lenicek advise IIB homerooms in addition to their counseling duties. Information Plea e With a background of a B. S. and M. A. degree from the State University of Iowa, Leonard Raf- fensperger, as vice-principal, assists Principal Charles Hoffman in directing the policies of the school. Scheduling of classes is under his direct supervision. He is director of the testing program and is responsible for putting the results on each student's permanent record. Questions concerning high school credit and other phases of veteran administration are also under his counsel. He directs the entire athletic program including coaching football and acts as chairman of the faculty guidance committee. Miss Edna Lenicek is in the know about all those doings around school that make life interesting and busy for students and teachers because, as co- ordinator of all student activities, she is advisor for student council and its committees, she is the personal counselor for the students, and she is in charge of the extra-curricular program. Her job brings her in contact with more indi- viduals at East high than that of any other teacher. She helps students adjust to high school life when they come here as sophomores and provides a pro- gram of activities which will give them the chance to express themselves throughout their high school days. Miss Lenicek has both a Bachelor of Music and an M. A. degree from the State University of Iowa. Miss Edna May Rittenhouse has charge of attendance records, a position which includes both counselling and guidance. She tries to serve as the intermediary between the parents and students in cases which might lead to juvenile delinquency. Miss Rittenhouse graduated from Iowa State Teachers College with a B. A. degree and has done graduate work at the University of Chicago, Harvard and the State University of Iowa. Juanita Dale and Billie Z3 Jean Brown assist Miss Rittenhouse in writing excuses in the morning and at noon.

Hoffman to suggest that we start con- sidering a commencement speaker, but after weigh- ing the suggestion, we immediately realized the soundness of his counsel. Of course we'll all remember that harrassing week in which we collected payments on announce- ments and cards. Very often we had to take as long as thirty or forty minutes for tabulating and compiling our reports. Later we worked in cooperation with the an- nual staff to distribute ballots and tally the votes for the popularity poll conducted in February. Those eight o'clock meetings in Miss Camp- bell's room resulted in varied plans and activities, always with the best interests of our class at heart - the class of '47.

Junior Sparks No matter how big or how small, all activities n1uSt have some kind of a spark pushing them steadily ahead. In this case that spark is called the junior council, a group who planned and co- ordinated all class activities. This was not a large spark for it consisted only of the sponsors and twelve representatives elected from the junior homerooms. The two chief functions organized by the junior council were the junior-senior prom and decorations for the baccalaureate exercise. In their preparations for those events the council was divided into three committees whose duties were to make the necessary arrangements for the prom, securing the Electric Park ballroom and making the negotiations that were necessary to book Dave Townsend's orchestra. At least six weeks prior to the prom a home- room survey was made to list the names of students interested in working on committees who had the more detailed work. Among these was the invita- tion committee, which selected the type of in- vitation and sent them out to school board mem- bers, school administrators, faculty members and their husbands or wives and one to each senior homeroom. It was their duty to issue all of the tickets for the juniors and seniors who were plan- ning to attend. Another committee important to everyone was the refreshment committee, who had charge of the menu and the serving. The program, presented during intermission, was arranged by the program committee. This was climaxed by the coronation of the king and queen. The committee for the selection of the king and queen planned the election of attendants and of the king and queen. The hall was decorated by a decoration com- mittee and the reception committee had charge of the dance programs and the reception of the guests. Several sophomore boys and girls were invited to serve as ticket takers and to help serve refresh- ments. Immediately after the prom the spark turned toward preparing decorations for the baccalaureate services. 7' Miss BIack's Homeroom First row: Ralph Schauer, Betty Mueller, Carmen Lewis, Bill Bisdorf, Marilyn Redmon, Melvin Shenafelt.

Initiating our activities early in the fall, our ,47 staff discussed pro and con the Trojan they wished to create, always with the idea in mind of maintaining the high standard set the previous year in our All-American Trojan.

If you've been accosted by some persistent soul who insisted on knowing the how and where and when and why and what of some event, you can wager you were talking to one of the Orange and Black staff reporters trying to cover a scoop for our bi-weekly news sheet. Through practical experience the Orange and Black staff members learn the ins and outs of the newspaper game. Through the paper these people were responsi- ble for the excitement you could Find in any sixth period class on the Ifriday the paper came out. Advising this group was Miss Marguerite Blough. As an added incentive for the journalism Class, East high maintains the Quill and Scroll, an inter- nationally affiliated organization for the purpose of stimulating a higher quality of journalistic work. Students must have one hundred inches of printed copy or two hundred inches of ads, and must be in the upper third of their class scholastic- ally to become active members. The club has assumed the responsibility of editing the Wooden Horse , a yearly publication of student creative writing. This year's staff in- cluded co-editors, Shirley Barg and Eleanor Rogers, business manager, Ralph Schauerq publicity, Bar- bara Glasson and Ros Jensen. Another project of the club was the planning of a publications banquet which members of the O and B and annual staffs were invited to attend. Acting as reporters for the O 55 B are- seated: L.

This governing body serves as a discussion group where questions involving the welfare of the student body may be thoroughly and fairly discussed. lt teaches us democratic government as practically as any student-governing body could do. Leading the group as president was Jack Geist. Other ofiicers included Dick Diekmann, vice-presi- dentg Juanita Dale, treasurer, and Glenita Dale, secretary. Miss Edna Lenicek served as our faculty advisor. Many activities and programs were undertaken and accomplished by the council as a whole, operating through its tive standing sub-committees .md the Homecoming committee. These com- mittees reported weekly to the council on their projects and accomplishments. Regular weekly council meetings were held at 8:00 o'clock each Tuesday morning with the ex- ception of the first Tuesday of every month when the council met during two class periods. These Sturlcuf rounril President jack Geistg Vice'prcsident Dick Diekmann. meetings rotated among the periods so that a repre- sentative would not miss the same classes each time. Twenty-six representatives, one elected from each homeroom, comprised the membership of the council. Theirs was the responsibility of seeing that their homeroom was properly informed about the matters discussed at each meeting. Some projects sponsored by the student council through the year have been activity book sales, the setting up of the swing show and raising money for the Red Cross. ln all of its activities the council had an unusually successful year. 1' Sc-ated on floor: L.

This was the slogan that echoed through the halls on October 11, here at East high. Homecoming this year had special significance, for it was the fiftieth anni- versary of the beginning of our football team. Planning the proceedings of the day was the homecoming committee with Lauretta Bredow as chairman. One of our earliest preparations was sending letters announcing the homecoming activi- ties to servicemen graduates. The homecoming auditorium featured the cus- tomary pep meeting, which was very enjoyable to many guests as the familiar yells and songs brought back memories of past good times at East high. lncluded also in the auditorium program was a speech by Fred Miller, former principal. music by the band and speeches by students wel- coming guests. Congratulations went to Lawrence Garloclos homeroom for producing a first class decoration scheme which won them the annual loving cup award. Decorations also adorned the halls wel- coming alumni bacls to their alma mater. A tea dance, sponsored by the seniors, was staged in the little theatre following the audi- torium.

Education Plu The aim of this year's auditorium committee was to provide many varied programs while combining education with entertainment. Ten different speakers appeared during the year, outlining the professions and vocations which they represented in talks to the student body and later to small groups who were especially interested in finding out more about what's ahead in their chosen field. Highlighting this series were talks by joe Duklond on radio and Gene Thorne on newspaper work. Pep auditoriums were held frequently throughout the athletic seasons and always before an important encounter with some rival. Xlueh enthusiasm was aroused and everyone enjoyed himself shouting or laughing at the skits presented and being inspired by the band's playing of the school song. The student body was extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity of seeing the Danish gymnasts perform their breath-taking feats of tumbling and body co- ordination as well as hearing Chief liiutus Tecumseh talk as a representative of the Indians of America. The large committee was kept very busy at its Monday morning meetings as it had a more or less rigid schedule to maintain in fulfilling its goal of one auditorium per week. Led by Dick Diekmann, who as vice president of student council was chairman of the group, and Miss Edna Lenicek, faculty advisor, the committee completed an extremely successful year. A group of 42 Danish gymnasts demon- strate their agile feats before an amazed crowd of East and junior high students. Coach Raff awards Captain Tesla his letter in football as team mates watch in background. irited P p romotion This year the orientation committee, under the leadership of Lola Silver, launched a new program to introduce our school to the mid-year sophomores and transfer students with an auditorium to show these students the activities of various clubs and musical groups. A handbook giving a complete picture of school courses and functions and including floor plans was published by this committee for new students. Students out of school because of illness received cards from the committee. During the past year the citizenship com- mittee, with ,lo Pmisone as chairman, has worked toward mutual cooperation among members and workers of the school, good condition and ap- pearance of both school and personal equipment as well as a student governed study hall and library. In addition to the achievement of these goals, the committee held locker inspections and a Bring Back the Booksn campaign, which enabled the return of overdue books without line. Part of the success of the Dutch school drive and sale of annuals can be attributed to the work of the publicity committee with Edytha Davis as chairman. Decorations in the halls at Christ- mas and Homecoming were created by this com- mittee in cooperation with the art department. Clark, B. Bclscampcr. Third row: C. Curtis M. Reed, J. McCoy.

More Than Book Larnin' XY'e canyt glean all the facts relating to a subject by just scanning printed pages. There are other just as important ways of learning by which we can get more all-round knowledge and enjoy- ment in our studies. Experimenting with tools and discussing our ideals help us solve problems. whether personal or planetary. In sports and group work we discover that sharing ideas and working together are essential. Careful observation, whether it be watching an experienced printer set up type or noting the mechanism of .1 science experiment. reveals addi- tional information about the subjects we take. Many opportunities to create are offered, from regular individual work as in homemaking or art to group etlorts including our plays and the large cooperative production of the swing show. Records and movies dramatize our courses while assigned outside reports give background and interesting details to classes. School is not all routine and text book mem- orization, but, as a Visit to East would show. there are many ways bv which we learn. SHE is HERE T0 new You gg: QW R Listening Going around and around in Eng- lish classes are records such as Shakes- pe.1re's Macbeth, which are owned by the school, After the more formal fifty-five minute chalk talks, literary discussions and reading. this new method of teaching in our classrooms is relaxing as well as educational. Due to the fact that East hasn't a special sound-proof room for its record playing set, the library offers a special nook for listening. This ma- chine includes two sets of earphones, which enable two students to enjoy records without disturbing the rest of the library. Investigation and preparation make class reports worthwhile in ex'erybody's way of thinking. Varying from bio- logical observations to reports on those end-of-the-semester themes in college prep, they give the students J chance to delve into subjects that might be of particular interest to them and to share this knowledge with others. y Co-operatm Many students with an interest in public speaking applied their talents by sharing ideas and material for panel discussion groups. XVhether working in a history class or as a member of the schoolls panel group, discussion proved a popular method for solving our cur- rent school, community, national and even international problems. Besides regular gym activities such as basketball, tumbling, volley ball and creative dancing, girls may jump on the trampoline, a new addition en- abling one to spring three feet high or do somersaults in the air. At the end of swimming classes ambitious mermaids work out group patterns in the water. Snappy band marches from the far end of the stadium lend an appropriate background for rough and ready pig- skin toters. Yep! Come fall, the boys, gym classes sing their way to the Held for football practice. After choosing up sides they plan and stage their own plays! O O O 0 O Anyone interested in printers, ink, in type, or in becoming a future John Gutenburg might consult the occu- pants of room 10. These vocational printing boys learn to run the presses and set up type. Proccts include rintin the unior l P g Hi Times and all types of tickets, letter heads, programs and tests. Have you heard? Hamletls on the loose! Yes, those creative dramatics studes are doing their interpretations of Shakespeare, Maxwell Anderson and the like everyday. XVe,re pretty proud of this class because it forrns the back bone of our all-school and senior plays. Surrounded by needles and notions these future homemalsers create the latest in Vogue and McCall from pat- terns and clever materials. Some of these homemaking originals .ire seen meandering around our halls and some are those ritfy costumes that take the spotlights in plays and swing show. y Creating sa- y Collaborating Wood shop certainly isn't book learning, itls practical knowledge de- veloped by each boy. Anything from fruitbowls to telephone booths can be madeg however most boys make tables or desks to take home. Also creations of wood shop are any tables or small set pieces needed for swing show and school equipment. Developing a fun-packed swing show with plenty of zip and appeal is the job of the script writers. They assume the responsibility of collecting suggestions, discarding, adding and re- vising ideas to form an expandable outline of the show. Though IIIOSI of Eust's art students won't become commercial artists, they may try their skill in making posters for advertising and scenery for dra- matic productions. Outstanding SILI- dents may gain state and national recognition at the contests and exhibits open to students. In this yenr's Scho- lastic Art Awards contest East placed three students -- Gerry Hanson. james Bracken and Bob Vnvnrka. ..... V'suaIi in l. XVith Miss Lillian Enlow,s chelifers. otherwise known as book worms, as guides to good reading, East high gathers in the library for anything from information in Wbflyi Who to the latest Book-of-the-Month club selec- tions. There's a book for all occasions at every student,s finger-tips. Regularly scheduled days in th: projection room give a realistic slant to history and a clearer interpretation of the problems involved in chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and shop. Then, too, they're usually most enter- taining. Mark Flanders, audio-visual education instructor, supervises all pro- iectors and film strips here at East. Surrounded by equipment these science club members view their work critically as they note the progress made with telescope mirrors. Through this telescope which these scientists assembled, students are able to view the universe. 9 6 O 0 O Holding aloft a retort and .1 smok- ing test tube or generating electricity by hand, Lloyd Ritland's amazing experiments always intrigue Chemistry students. Classes perform similar tests twice a week in the laboratory under his supervision. How does this story fit into the layout? XVhat number head should I use there? Should this follow up story have three or four inches? Similar questions are asked by tyro-reporters who are striving to bring the latest news to the school. Editor-in-Chief Gene Raffensperger coaches reporter Letty Miller on page make-up of the paper. Those triangles and squares on the blackboard in Room 1 aren't a be- ginning of a modernistic drawing. They are part of Mr. XVilliam Waters' instruction in geometry as he points out all the different angles and curves. The students take part, too, by prov- ing theorems on the board for the benefit of all the class. .59. Instructing Experimentin It's time for the annual backstage clean-up so Masquers club calls an early meeting. Suitable garb is donned and the gang retires behind the curtains. There amid spatters of paint, much talking and merriment each cranny of the prop room is whitewashed and the stage is given Ll general going over. Precision and neatness are two of the aims of Mr. Starris drafting classes as they study such things as archi- tectural and machinery designs. Some of the most promising drafters have helped out in the designing of the Swing show sets, too, putting their classroom theory to practical use. If experience really is the best teacher, East high school shop students should be tops, In shop they learn metal skills by actually using forges, arc welders and lathes. With this equipment boys can easily learn a pro- fession and step right into a well pay- ing job. O O O O 9 Getting along with people is one of the most important factors for liv- ing, and although East l'I.1SI1lI Ll scheduled class for this, morning, noon and after-school confabs take care of the problem without too much dif- ficulty. What better way is there to get acquainted? After a luscious meal there is al- ways the gloomy prospect of hot dish water and soap suds galore, but it's not bad at all when good friends get together and all pitch in to help. The grease, the conversation, and the time are all going full speed. These camera club members, like many other school groups, found this the necessary finale to their after-school potluck. Parties and sports events provide the best chances for students to get together. The vivid and varied ex- pressions mirrored on the faces of these basketball rooters will soon change into lively bits of conversation as points of the game and school news come up for discussion. .51.

This is really one of the exclusive groups of the school, since to become a member Ll student must be a veteran of W'orld XVar II. The club was organized so the ex-service men could get to- gether and talk over things they have in common. Aside from just get-togethers there are also social events to make things interesting. The club was formed during the second semes- ter, and it will be one of the few short-lived clubs in the school due to the absence of eligible persons after a few years. The Navy seems to be predominate with ten ex-sailors as members. They are as follows: James Backen, Bill Derr, john Freesner, Earl Roberts, Eldo Schmidt, james W'ebber, .lohn XVebber, Charles Nlohlis, Richard Henry and lloyd Turner. The Army comes second with four: Marvin Baldwin, Richard Burhite, Clyde Lybrand and Pedro Tovar. The Marine tradition of being first has been broken this time for Nvalden Baskervilie is their sole representative in the group. Among our veterans are men who have been to all four corners of the globe. Places such as Saipan, Leyte, Normandy and the Marshall Islands are just a few of the many world famous spots to which our vets have travelled. One might think that after having been to all parts of the world East high would seem a bit dull. Our vets don't think so. The idea seems to be that it,s interesting to learn. Ifrom a vet's view school is really a good place to be. Rules are not strict and the few there are aren't enforced by threat of court martial. For that reason the common opinion is that school is definitely the life of a free man. Othcers of the club are: Walden Baskerville, president, Charles Nlohlis, vice president, Earl Roberts, secretary, and -lames Backen, treasurer. The club is under the guidance of Leland Zimmer- man, of the East high English department, who is also .1 veteran. Di iding Our Time Newest among the clubs at East is the junior Business club, formed by oihce and sales co-op students under the sponsorship of Miss Concetta Spagnolo. These students accept a responsibility quite different from that of the ordinary student. for in addition to their school activities they hold part-time jobs. Many of the club members par- ticipate in other school organizations such as stu- dent council, Friendship club, Camera club, and Art club. Committees of the club functioning during the year were social: Darlyne Kneeskern, chairman: Della Stafford, Ada Patterson, Jackie W'elchg mid- year: Bonnie Pates, Clara Zecof. Program com- mittee: Nina Murray, chairman, Bernadine Bishop, Beulah Betts, Dolores Schroeder. Project committee: Marcella West, chairman: Carla Hosier, Betty McKinney, Mary Finger, Paul XVetzlick, Shirley Rivers. Constitution commit- tee: Bonnie Peverill, chairman: Aresta Kontos. Ruth Shader, Elizabeth Harmon: mid-year, Nancy Morey. Mid-year treasurer was Jeanette Gieleau. The main event of the year was a banquet sponsored by the club members for employers. A combined East-Xvest affair, the guest list included some one hundred students and employers. The two schools shared the responsibilities of making the banquet a success. The decoration committee with Edythn Davis as chairman consisted of Bonnie Pates, Jeanette Gieleau, Elizabeth Harmon, Nancy Morey, Aresta Kontos, Carla Hosier. Velma Person served on the menu committee. All of the co-op students worked on the banquet directory. Edytha Davis was toastmistress and Carla Hosier played a piano selection. Because of its unifying features, club members hope the group will become a permanent organ- ization at East. First row: A. Patterson, B. Peverill, V. Ferson, secretary, M. Royer, vice-president, E.

Test Tube Gremlin The East high Science club was formed to give students interested in that Field a chance to make use of the science department's equipment for out- side projects. Like any scholastic group, it was never all work and no play as the club demonstrated in the comedy skit, Centuries of Progress, written by Norman Seeman. A more serious attitude was often taken. Some- times hours of work were involved in the experi- ments as Robert Leebl, Bob Snowden, Burton Christensen or Bob Truax could verify. They put in over fifty hours apiece grinding, polishing and silvering the four inch telescope mirrors they made. Lloyd Ritland, club sponsor and chemistry and physics instructor, said that he spent longer than that keeping an eye on those four young Galileos. The seven girls in the club did more than enough to prove that even the scientific isn't just a man's sphere any longer. Besides taking a major part in the skit and rewriting the con- stitution, they took major parts in the scientihc demonstrations performed at each meeting. Club officers for the first semester were Bob Snowden, presidentg Bob Truax, vice-presidentg Dale Turner, secretary-treasurer. The second semester executive committee in- cluded: Bill Van Eman, presidentg Bob Snowden, vice-presidentg Gerry Hanson, secretary, Wayne Dally, treasurer, Dale Turner, program chairmang Darlene Lauzon, Bob Truax and Burton Christen- sen, program committee. Seated: B. Bieman, D. Turner, B. Rogers, J. Scharif, B. Lemke, C. Harper, M. Luloff, M. Larson, Y. Nasko. Slanding: B. Truax, H. Foote, C. Curtis, B. Leebl, B. Christensen, W. Dally, D. Lauzon. On With the Show Whitewashing and further rejuvenating the make-up and costume rooms backstage and appear- ing in demonstrations at local clubs and audi- toriums are a few of the projects that demanded the attention of Masquers club this year. Elected this year as our othcers were Don Dieckman, presidentg Bill Van Eman, vice-presi- dentg Nancy Brunn, secretary, and Sue Walter, treasurer. The club was advised by Leland Zim- merman, dramatics instructor. Requirements for club membership are stiif and are based on a point system. Points are awarded on size of parts in dramatic productions and, in the case of crews, on the number of hours worked, the amount of points given varying ac- cording to quality of work. Our meeting schedule in effect for this year allowed only six meetings, sandwiched between dramatic productions. Social life has been conhned to the strictly in- formal sessions following initiations and meetings, usually held in the homemaking apartment. Through practical expression we aspiring Thes- pians have been learning the background of the theatre as well as the appreciation of dramatic productions. Sfanding: B. Van Eman, R. Jensen, D.

Genius Incorporated One of the newest clubs at East high is Olym- piad, organized in 1944 to encourage scholarship, thus raising the scholastic standing of our school. The basic requirement for membership in Olympiad is a B or three point average, making membership exclusive. Our oflicers this year were Bill Sage, presidentg Tony Loveall, vice-president, Kathleen Perry, secretary, and Jo Bisone, treasurer. Our faculty sponsors were Miss Elva Tucker, Miss Erma Priz- ler and Lawrence Garlock. One of our Hrst accomplishments was choos- ing our club pin. We decided on a laurel wreath design centered with a flaming torch. Our activities included a survey and tabula- tion of available college scholarships. XVe gave this to each homeroom teacher so that the scholar- ships could serve as a goal toward which students could work. NVe sent letters of congratulation to ninth grade students who had grade point averages of three or more and urged them to keep up the high caliber of scholarship. Meetings were made particularly interesting by talks from faculty members. Included in these were two concerning the experiences of former service men now on the faculty. The Olympiad arranged the presentation of the Senior Honor day auditorium, at which awards and scholarships were presented to students who had done outstanding work. One of the lasting contributions which the Olympiad has given to East high is that of mak- ing students aware of and interested in their grade point averages. By establishing a three point goal for students to work toward, the club has raised the scholastic standing of many students at East high. Firs! row: G. Tesla, D. Sherwood, D. Head, Geist, L.

Specialty-Sports One of the better known Clubs at East, the Trojan club strives to bring clean play and sports- manship into everyday life as well as to display it on the battlefield of sports. To qualify for membership in the club, an athlete must earn a major letter in one of East high's five major sports, football, basketball, wrestling, track or baseball. Then follows the initiation. One of the fond- est memories a Trojan has when he recalls his days in the halls of Troy is that fateful night when he was blistered into the fold. Each of the meetings consisted of a business session and a period for relaxation and enjoyment. Business meetings included discussions and decisions on club and school problems. The need for larger and better lighted trophy cases was presented to the club. Through the initiative of our faculty advisor these cases have been ordered, but are not expected for some time. Fun and fellowship are bywords with members of the Trojan club. The Trojans follow the busi- ness meeting with a period of friendly rivalry Con- sisting of basketball, boxing, swimming or a work- out on the newly acquired trampoline. One of the highlights of the club is the spring picnic, at which members CLIE all sorts of indi- gestible food and run themselves ragged playing a fast game of football, softball or taking a dip if the weather permits. The Trojans, aim is to make every new student at ease in his new environment. XVe feel that the club and the standards we set should be the goal of every boy. Trojan club oliicers for this year were ,lack Geist, president, Don Head. vice-president, Lee Davis, secretary-treasurer. Faculty advisor was Leonard Raffensperger. Meeting at th Hi-Y has as its main goal doing service to others. The club stands for clean sports, clean speech and clean living. Early in the year the hold-over fellows staged a membership drive. at which time thirty boys became members of the club. The formal event of the year was a combined East-XY'est service for the initiates. The club sent five delegates to the Tri-State Hi-Y conference at the Y.M.C.A. in XlV.1terloo. They were Frank Cowley, Henry Bruns. Clyde Monroe, Byron Surface and Judd Leland. Judd, who has been very active in the club, was elected president of the area group for the coming year. Among the social affairs of the club was a hayride in October with Bill Sage, one of our members, providing the hayracls. A potluck dinner was planned by the othcers during the last of November. At this time each of the members brought canned goods to be used to nll the baskets at Christmas time for some needy families of Xvaterloo. During the second semester the club tools an active part in the .lLlkllf0I'lLll'llS given by the various clubs of the school. The club held its meetings twice a month at the Y.M.C.A. with the first meeting set aside for speakers and the second meeting of the month scheduled as an activity night. Our othcers for the year included Byron Sur- face, presidentg Henry Bruns, vice-presidentg Bob Ferguson, secretary and treasurerg Frank Cowley, ehapling Bob Surface, sergeant-at-arms. Advisor for the year was August Lulses. First row: D. Nabholz, D. Diekmann, B. Surface, Leland, F. Cowley. Serond row: I.. Ryan, C. Monroe, D. Smith, P. Manbeck, F. Shader. Third row: H. Diets, R.

O ' ' l't The present art club, under the leadership of Nliss Esther Oleson, has been reorganized into a competent and worthwhile organization. Of the several projects completed by the mem- bers of the Paint and Pallette club, one of the IUOSI successful was the Christmas week decoration scheme. For this project the Rembrandts and Angelos created adorable paper mache lambs and angels for the main hall. Instead of giving an assignment to art classes, Miss Oleson allowed each student to work on any subject and with any materials that he preferred. First ron: L. Roethler, C. Shea, J. Patava, M. Marken. Unlimited Amid the industrious hum of workers, one could see a boy at the Hrst table busy lettering the foot- ball that East received as winner of the Mississippi Valley conference, while at the next table was a girl working on a swing show poster. At another table a girl was making a paper doll family for her younger sister. The club also made eye-catching decorations for the main hall during homecoming week.

Witli the increasing fre- quency of such get-to-gethers, the group organized and coined the name Cameranians. Now known as the Camera club, the group still retains the or- iginal purpose to develop photographic skills. This year camera enthusiasts held meetings regularly every second and fourth Thursday after school, plus special meetings when additional projects came up. One of these. a fall hike. re- sulted in an array of outdoor photos. A December meeting lasted until nine in the evening. Members developed and printed films besides viewing an instructive movie, Camera Magic. At other meetings we discussed and studied types of lenses, films, camera shots and lighting. Several of us tried portrait making, even to tint- ing and were quite proud of the results. Our hrst semester othcers included Joe Holdi- man, president, Don Curtis. secretary, and Laura Leibundguth, treasurer. Mark Flanders, the orig- inal sponsor, directed our work. Photography, we have found, makes a wonder- ful hobby and if worked with seriously can be the beginning of a profitable future. XY'e amateurs think Camera club has its angles. .J Members of Camera club enjoyed a gala experiment taking in- formal shots while on an outdoor excursion.

Ofhcers for A choir were Henry Bruns, president, and jean Bennett, vice-president. The choirs were accompanied at the piano by lloreta Saul and Shirley Ewan. Some of the highlights of this ye.1r's AU choir were the Nativity,,' the broadcasts, the spring festival and spring concert. The combined choirs of East and W'est performed over both KXEL and XVMT. From East were two featured soloists, Henry Bruns and Kathleen Perry. The Harmon programs were sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The choir also appeared at the Grace Methodist Church. An choir had smaller groups chosen by Mr. Burowg these included the sextet, quartet, and the girls' trio. The purpose of the vocal groups is not only to work on music which will be given before groups, but also to provide a Hhavenn for music lovers. By learning to sight read better, to harmo- nize and work in co-ordination with fellow stu- dents, the musician not only enjoyed himself, but he also developed his special talent to a higher degree of perfection. With An Artistic Touch Consisting of sixty-live members each, both B choir and IUB chorus have scored many accomplishments during the year. Not only has B choir provided training for students to enable them to enter A choir, but the group has also polished numbers and presented them to the stu- dent body in auditoriums. Students must complete at least one semester in either B choir or 10B chorus in order to be eligible to enter A choir. Although many of these students who were members of these two choral groups never entered A choir, they had a feeling of doing some really splendid xvorlt in music. The choirs interpreted many novel numbers this year. I'm Only Nineteen. by the IUB chorus, was perhaps the most intriguing. B choir met every Monday. XY'ednesday and lrriday during fourth periods with sectionals on Tuesday and Thursday. By combining both talent and love of music, the students have developed two of the most out- standing choruses in recent years. First row: A. Brunsen, D. Marble, M. Bishop, D. Howard, P. Fry, F.

First Softl With Strings The East high orchestra, composed of about thirty-five members, has been under the direction of Herbert Goodwin. Two public appearances made this year were at the senior play and com- mencement exercises. The orchestra is one of the many extra-curricular activities at East high in which students with musical talent may par- ticipate. One of the big things which we look forward to every year is the Music Festival which took place this year May 1 and 2. Otto Jelinek from Grinnell college was our guest conductor. West High school and Marshalltown orchestra students also participated. Four of the most capable players in the or- chestra compose our East high string quartet. This group makes numerous public appearances during the year at civic organizations and various programs throughout the community. Our quar- tet has won high esteem at East high for its con- tribution to activities outside school. The East high orchestra along with many other groups in Iowa has suffered severely from war con- ditions and is now on its way back to being a first class organization. Our orchestra has improved over that of last year and we are looking ahead optimistically to a larger and more capable group. H. Leistikow, A. Lemke, L. Silver, B. Andrews. Firs! rout D. White, D.

Then Triumphantl With Herbert Goodwin, Marine veteran and East high band director for ten years previous to enter- ing the service, returned this year to his position of band and orchestra director. Numerous directors and their extra heavy re- sponsibilities due to manpower shortage caused the band to become lax in its activities. Before the football season was over this year, however, im- provement of the band could easily be seen and a promising future was in store. Shortly after the concert season began, a band Council was chosen by a vote of the band. lt con- sisted of two sophomore, two junior and two senior representatives and a president. The purpose of the council was to handle any miscellaneous business of the band, plan trips and parties and seek a solution to any problems which Horn stood in the way of the bandis success. Under the supervision of the council each band member who could meet certain easy requirements received a letter for his participation. An honor society was also set up for the more musically inclined members. Judging was entirely in accord- ance with musical ability. Highlighting the bandys performances through- out the year were appearances at football games, leading the Armistice day parade-the result of East high's victory in the East-Nvest football game-the pre-Christmas program for the stu- dents, and the annual city music festival. The general appearance of the band was greatly improved by new uniforms purchased late in the year. The uniforms met with the approval of both the band members and their audiences. J.

Manbeck Taking Top Honors Holding the post of drum major was Loras XVeilein, whose musical aim is to become a con- ductor. Besides being a drum major, he sings and plays the piano. Away from W'aterloo for a year and a half, I,oras attended Morgan Park Military academy. Delores Daggett, junior student, was our drum majorette. Like Loras, she has a variety of talent. Sheis studying singing, tap, ballet, and acrobatic dancing and she wants to be a professional dancer. Gerry Hanson, another junior, played baritone in the band this year. She was the only junior entered in the state music contest. Phil Manbeck was chosen by a majority vote as the band president. Phil played solo chair trum- pet and was a winner in the state music contest. Luke NVarm played a mighty hor drum with the swing band, but he is also recognized for his legitimate playing. lle played a drum solo in the music contest this year. Dell Wfhite, another entry in the state music Contest, played solo chair clarinet, was senior representative on the band council and acted as student conductor of the band. Bob Shafer, tenor sax player, was not only an active band member, but also a good all-around athlete. Bob had a big hand in turning out a top swing band this year. Dick Deyo, known to all as Duke,,, played trumpet in the band, but he was more popular for his work in the swing band. We'll probably always remember him for those hot ad-lib solos. A truly outstanding individual is Harold Leisti- kow. Harold is an exceptional high school violinist and played first chair in the orchestra. He also played with the Iowa State Teachers college or- chestra and the Waterloo Symphony orchestra. Doreta Saul deserves recognition here also. Doreta played piano in the swing band for two years and has done a great deal of accompanying for soloists and vocal groups. She was one of the accompanists at the state music contest. uSmHng Success with a capital S! That is the record of East high's annual swing show, and the 1947 version, Swing Feverf' too, was written off as tip top by all who saw it. The production, which was started eleven years ago as a variety show and has since gone through several years as a four act musical revue. was this year presented as a musical comedy. Sev- eral months before the performance work was begun in English classes with students presenting their ideas in theme or script form. The script and executive committees, chosen by the student council, began by weeding out the best ideas from the best works and lining up personnel for other committees. When the groups were chosen and the Hnal script had been drafted, Fevern tryouts were held and weeks of rigorous rehearsals started. The plot of Swing Fever concerned itself with the reunion of Pamela, a small town girl who made good in Hollywood as a vocalist, and Steve. a local boy and one of Pamela's old flames. Fate, in the form of two gremlins looking for mischief, interfered, and until the last moments of the third act the romance seemed doomed. The two mischief makers, invisible to all but the audience, spent their time luring Steve away from Pam and generally raising havoc until a lovely little girl gremlin appeared and distracted them. The co-operation of students and faculty mem- bers was the keynote which made the 1947 pro- duction number eleven on East high's record of successful swing shows.

On Sunday December 15, our annual Christ- mas pageant the Nativity was once again pre- sented by the music and drama departments. The A Choir, under the direction of Burtis Burow, sang the familiar Christmas music, so beloved to us all. The solemn presentation, received by a hushed and reverent audience, was narrated by Bob Truax. Mary Jo Reed and Walter Oetting portrayed Mary and Joseph, blessed parents of the Christus. Guarding the lowly manger and watch- ing over the shining host of angels was the Arch- angel, played by Joyce Cordray. Bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh were the three Wise Men: James Brooks, Clyde Monroe, and Don Ketcham. Offering their humble adoration to the babe in the manger were the shepherds from the fields. As the choir sang the beautiful old carol O Come All Ye Faithful, a procession of white robed waits, carrying lighted candles came slowly down through the auditorium to kneel around the holy scene. The curtain closed slowly and once again the pageant of beauty and peace was instilled in the hearts of men. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly host praising God and say- ing 'Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men'. -LUKE 2:13,14.

This fall, on November 22, the feminine populus of hast high staged a partial triumph when they pre- sented The XY'omen Have Their XVay, by the Quintero brothers, Seralin and .loaquin Alvarez. Under the watchful eye of Esther Oleson, stage designer, and Leland Zimmerman, director, the Spanish setting took form as the home of the parish priest. Adding vivacity to the colorful set were the bright costumes, which included flowers and traditional Spanish lace mantillas. Encouraged by their competent director, the cast spent many an hour of instruction and re- hearsal before the long awaited opening curtain. Action centered around the attempts of the town gossip, Concha Puerto, played by Kathleen Perry who schemed to match the town's most eligible bachelor, Adolpho Alalid, Loras Weilein, with Mardell Holley as Juanita La Rosa. Most of Conchals match makingi' attempts were thwarted by the watchfulness and well mean- ing of Dona Helen, aunt of Juanita and .1 social leader of the town, who wished everything to be done according to society's precedent. and Don Cecilio, the village doctor, who attempted to warn the unheeding bachelor of his impending doom. Nancy Brunn enacted Dona Belen and Rosmond Jensen, Don Cecilio. Adding laughs and continuity were Don Julian, the parish priest, Herman Diersg Santita, deaf sister of Don Julian, Shirlee Gormly, Angela and Pilar, daughters of Santita, Margaret Reed and Charlotte Farnham, Pepe Lora, a disappointed suitor of Juanita, James Scharffg Dieguilla, San- tita's servant girl, Arden Smith, Guitarra, servant of Concha Puerto, Walter Oettingg village girl, Joyce XValtsg village sacristan, Norman Seeman.

Competition Waxes Keen Intramural homeroom basketball was inaug- urated at East high this year under the super- vision of Lawrence Garlock. It was started dur- ing basketball season to give boys who werenit quite prohcient enough to make the varsity team a chance to play. The leagues were planned orig- inally for sophomore and junior homerooms only. but senior homerooms generated such enthusiasm that they soon organized a senior league also. Due to the size of the three leagues and lack of sufficient space, each team met every other team in its respective league only once. Homerooms of Raffensperger and Garlock reigned supreme in sophomore and junior competi- tion, while that of Enlow won out in senior league skirmishes. After the leagues had terminated their regular schedules. a tournament was planned. The three top teams in each of the three leagues were declared eligible for the tourney. Raffensperger, Prizler, Blough. Thierman, Black, Garlock, Campbell. Tucker and Enlow were the selected nine. In tournament competition Tucker and En- low, both senior league juggernauts, swept aside all opposition to meet in the finals. In an action packed final, Enlow outclassed Tucker. 36 to 23. and emerged as tournament champion and the only team to go undefeated in both league and tourna- ment competition. After the final game the homerooms that par- ticipated in intramural basketball presented Mr. Garlock with a gift in appreciation of his interest in the project.
