Waldo, super- intendent of schools, thinks is a highlight of the year. Without an intelligent citizenry, a de- mocracy cannot succeedg hence, our public schools. East High School represents true democracy in action. Here, all are on an equal basis, rich and poor, jew and Gentile. One cannot learn democracy from a text- book. East High exemplifies democracy in action with many opportunities for student activity and leadership. Long may this continue so that gradu- ates may take their place successfully in the vocations and social institutions of the United States. 46 Zuma .ag 5 ' Ma
