And it took such lessons as these, tearful eyes and wounded hopes, to convey to us the realization that life means duty, that success and happiness mean the accomplishment of duty. But now' we stand no longer freshmen, no longer children, but men and women matured in body and mind. Our paths are no longer the roads to self enjoyment, no longer blind trails of blissful ignorance. Self no longer blinds the eyes of duty. For now we stand on the brink of li and the lessons learned from experience will serve us well in the future. Looking back again, we are surprised. Is this the moment for which we have waited for weary years? Where is the thrill of joy? Where the feeling of exultation? We feel no thrill, no exultation, no joy—only the deep, dull, aching throb of the parting The almost incredulous realization that with the passing of June we are leaving a haven of friends—the realization that in a short time East Side will be like a beautiful dream that steals quietly before the eye and makes one sigh with the regret that it steals so suddenly away. We have made friends here, trusting friends, and the graduation is especially hard because for many the parting in the road will have come. Duty’s call is infinite- It knows no bounds. It makes no discrimination. ORIENT EDITORS XXI

N. J.. JUNE, 1925 PRICE OF THIS ISSUE. TWENTY CENTS Published by Students of East Side High School June is the rose month, the month in which the noses reach the rich, blushing stage of pure and wholesome maturity. June also is the commence ment month, the month in which seniors pass from the old life to the new. And what a beautiful graduation month it is! As we stand entranced midst the spell of its magic charm we cannot help but look back on the times that are no more, the times that for the rest of life will stand forth as the ideal of happi- ness. The freshman life returns to us. that year of bubbling joy and careless abandon. No duty bound our paths then, no worries dimmed our joys. No. All was happiness, for we were children with ears that heeded not duty’s call, .with hearts that beat not for others, but for self, and with eyes that veiled sorrow and saw but joy. We were children who first saw only the rose and

DISTURBANCE AT FOUR CORNERS The city almost witnessed a tornado at the Four Corners yesterday between the hours of 3-7. Paul Otto and Mel- vin Morrow during the brief period of four hours were having a fiery discus- sion as to where they should buy the r cigarettes. The discussion ended when the police force interfered. HERMIT PAIR FOUND One of the greatest shocks to society came late yesterday when our reporter found a hermit pair living on the out- skirts of the meadows. Upon investi- gation he found the pair to be Matilda Del Negro and Highland Beaman. As a result of the interview it was found that the reason for this behavior was because they had lost faith in human nature. EXTENSIVE CAMPAIGN PRESSED Krueger’s Auditorium was flooded to capacity last night when Hon. Carl R ff and his Manager John Dinzik attacked William Jennings Bryan. This meeting had a greater showing of the people of Newark than did the meeting he’.d last week by the Big Three. Golden. Sefack and Rohn. Per- haps that was caused because many disagreed as to the fitness of the plat- form that soap-box orations should tc considered lawful. We know only that there was no excitement caused by an ill-wagging tongue such as was done by Judge Golden at their meeting. CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN An unusually large crowd is ex- pected to attend the opening day fes- tival of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Promises of a splendid performance are given for Ignatius Scarpitta is this year’s attraction. THOUSANDS COLLECTED As a result of the unusual perfor- mance given by the Salvation Army yesterday thousands of dollars were collected. Elizabeth Curimano. Cath- erine Oliva and Edward Burns as so- loists are to be complimented. Miss Curimano gave a saxophone solo; Miss Oliva playing the trombone and Mr. Burns the tuba, proved a delightful number. Their performance was the first of a series. If the following numbers are as good we are sure that the treasury of the Salvation Army will be greatly increased. SCHOLASTIC NEWS Mildred Hirleman is about to be pensioned for her splendid service given through the public schools. Marion Dunn has had her name placed in “Who’s Who’’ by the intro- duction of the word JIGGER. Dex- terity is one of her qualities for she certainly has stuck to this word. Mildred Cohen has just been ap- pointed editor of the “Sarcastic Sar- casm,” the school paper of the high school in which she was teaching chemistry. Good luck to you. Mabel Mitchell is giving lectures in Maine. She seems to have a struggle in accomplishing her aim; for the topic, proper enunciation of words, s a difficult one. Arthur Le Maitre has become a gym teacher. This is a promise that he will soon be gym supervisor. LITERARY NOTES Bruno Becker has been appointed advertising editor of “Free Advertis- ing World.” He has already intro- duced a new color scream, green and orange. XXII
