K. n. wAl.no SUPERINTENDENT or Efxsr Sum Scuool.s Throughout his twenty-four years as principal of East High and superintendent of the East Side schools, Mr. Waldo has done much to advance East lligh to its present standing. It was for this reason that we asked M r. Waltlo to write a few words about the development ofthe school since 1914. Ile says: ln September 191111. fewer than 500 students and twenty-five teachers greeted me, the new principal of East lligh. In convocation everybody was seated downstairs with much room to spare. We had many vacant rooms. Regular sewing and physical education teachers appeared for the Hrst time and the school nurse rented a horse and buggy to speed up her work. Forty-seven graduated in ,I une 19l5 compared with over three hundred fifty who will parade at the East lligh field this year. 66Many new courses and methods have been introduced: an athletic field and a new addition sccuredg the faculty has increased to sixty teachers: and l sincerely hope that the increase in eflicieney and service to the community has kept pace with the growth in enrollment.
