DEDICATION. AS a mark of appreciation of all that Mr. Twiggs has so faithfully and willingly done for us. we respectfully dedicate to him this first annual of the East High School of Commerce. It is a very small annual, thus it can show only a slight part of our esteem for our friend and adviser. EDITORIAL. YOU have in your hands the first annual of East High School of Commerce. Before commenting on it, we would like to have you consider that this is our initial publication. It is full of faults, but we hope that in after years, this little book will serve as a reminder of our happy school days. We have no bright Seniors nor clever Juniors t » help us out: for all our wit and wisdom we must depend upon irresponsible Sophomores and green Freshmen. We owe much gratitude to West Commerce for allowing us space for our humble efforts, and certainly we thank them. Athough this is a small school, we have plenty of school spirit, and the fact that the annual has as much material as it d K s. is due not only to the efforts of the Annual Board, but to those of the entire body of students. Our work is now finished, the annual belongs to you—may you enjoy it! 130

That after noon nobody had his lessons. When two-thirty came there was a great rush to rooms one, two and three, where there were booths and candy. Room three had three attractive booths; in one candy was sold, in another pennants, and in still another lemonade. Room two thought it would rain before we got home, so they were selling genuine paper umbrellas. They also had candy and flowers. Room one had a bowling alley, composed of ten Indian clubs and two indoor base balls. Here Eddie Weiler and his assistant, Kenneth Kastor, served as pin boys, and Frank Zwemer as score keeper and cashier. The candy sale had been in session about fifteen minutes when room two produced a crier who proved to be Arthur Kaighin. Instead of crying he advertised. Dancing was next on the program, and after that came an auction. This was great fun. Arthur Kaighin was auctioneer and knocked down hair pins, side combs, hat pins, brooches, erasers, rulers, pencils, pennants, and every salable article that, could be laid hold of. That endvd the day’s fun. Those who stayed a bit later found that, by this sale, we had made thirty-three dollars, which, after deducting some for the Dayton flood sufferers, would more than pay for our pictures for the annual. 1X1
