East Technical High School - June Bug Yearbook (Cleveland, OH)

Page 7 text:

Foreword The June Bug of 1923, gorgeous in leather covers and colored borders, rose from its own ashes like the fabled phoenix and took on new splendors in the process. In the fall of '22 the usual hubbub arose among the Seniors who were demanding a yearbook to commemorate their glorious sojourn at East Tech. No one was indifferent, but when the order went forth from Headquarters that no drive could be put on to secure subscriptions from undergraduates, a lull occurred that chilled the hearts of the leaders in the campaign. Meetings were held and subscriptions to the number of two hundred and fifty were taken. To find a printer and engraver who would view with enthusiasm the scanty sum available was hard, and not until February, when all life had apparently departed out of the Annual, did the magic combination appear. Contracts were being made when most annuals were being fitted into their covers, and all the work of picture making and copy writing was launched. The Egyptian excitement was at its height when the book was begun, and it was decided to make the Scarab, symbol of East Tech, the keynote of the decorations. Sphinx and pryamid and desert sands recall the solemn rites of the Scarab ceremony which was once a part of every East Tech classday. Like the High Priest the Editors have many a time and oft echoed the prayer: I O great god Ra, we lift up hands of prayer to thee and ash the gift of light. If this little book pleases you, we may conclude that the shades of the tomb from which our scarab came are at rest, that the curse is averted and that at least a little Light has filtered down upon THE ANNUAL STAFF AND ITS ASSISTANTS.
