WALDO -Mr. Waldo, superintendent of the East Aurora schools since l928, shows his deep interest by taking part in all high school activities and giving them his whole support. Community respects East Aurora schools One of the marked characteristics of the East Side public schools has been the stabil- ized policy of control. In over half a century, there have been only two superintendents. Six members of the Board of Education have held their office for nearly a score of years. Under the able leadership of Judge Olney C. Allen, who retired in i948 after serving as president for fifteen years, the Board has operated a school system respected by the parents and known throughout the State for its high standards. This has been done with one of the lowest tax rates of any unit dis- 6 trict in Illinois. Four modern grade schools have been built, and two old buildings have been modernized. At present a new Dieterich School and an addition enlargfng the Beaupre School cre under construction. Judge AIlen's successor, Clifton F. Simmons, had previously served for two terms as a board member. l-le was succeeded on the Board by Glenn Mason. ln 1949 Harold Stoll moved out of the district, and William Levedahl re- tired after twenty-one years of service. They were replaced by Floyd Keck and Alger Furnas. 1 PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE BOARD: Back Row --Mr. R. Stutz, Mrs. H, Nelson, Mr. H. Matthews, Mrs. H. Smely, Mrs. K. Jones, Mrs. J.

Mason Not in picture' Aihert K James,J A Brandt 7 Our administration East High had the new look last fall, when teachers and students came back to classrooms and classes of Ye Olde Alma Mater. They found bigger and better of' fices, new systems and regulations, and some- thing they have never before had, an assistant principal. The boys welcomed Mr. Matthews as boys' counselor, and Miss O'Neil, the coun- selor of girls, had her wish of a private office cnd a beautiful clubroom. Mr. l-lunter, who was for many years the dean of boys, was made the assistant princif pal, and Mr, Matthews, who has long been an industrial arts teacher, became the boys' coune selor. 54 PRINCIPAL J. W. GATES- Since coming here in 1946, Dr. Gates has encouraged more student responsi' bilities through self-government, has promoted more student activi- ties, and has expanded the cur- riculum. MR, HUNTER, ASSISTANT PRlNClPAL Dean of Boys' and Boys' Club adviser for has been made assistant principal. J. L. Hunter eighteen years rl 'rrr S . . .ii. .f K 5 establishes new offices and council A new counselor system was established. The purpose of this board was to co-ordinate the work of the year and to supervise the homeroom guidance program. One teacher from each class was chosen to represent his respective class year, Mr. Woolley represented the senior class, the junior class was guided by Mr. Blackman, Miss Brinkmann advised the sophomore sections, and the freshman home- rooms were counseled jointly by Miss O'Neil and Mr. Matthews, All were under the leader- ship of Dr, Gates, Through the co-operation of the Board of Education and Dr. Gates, the offices were en- larged and divided. The English rooms, num- bers lO2 and lO4, were converted into the CLASS COUNSELORS' Scheduling programs for each class- R. Gates, V. G. O'Neil, G. E, Woolley, and J. L. Hunter s i k H5 girls' club rooms and the high school offices, the original location remained as the board and superintendent's office. Students were introduced to new and dif- ferent systems and regulations. When they were tardy, they were sent to their counselors for a pass. Also, going to the office after an absence was no longer necessary, but the stu- dent went directly to his homeroom where a pass was given to him by his section officer. By establishing this system, much confusion was eliminated and time was saved. To the happiness and satisfaction of many students, 7:3O's were abolished. Hall passes were introduced this year, E. Blackman, l-l W, Matthews, R, E Brunkmann, J. W 9 MISS O'NElLr---fGiving Pat Cutter some helpful advice-Miss O'Neil, Girls' Counselor. Counselors A guidance program was inaugu- rated at East last fall with closed pe- riods for all homerooms on Wednesday and Thursday, club meetings on Mon- days, Student Council on Tuesdays, and pep convos on Friday. The junior- senior program featured vocational convocations. The sophomores stressed social problems, with lessons in social dancing for those interested. Orien- tation, getting acquainted with the school traditions and activities, was the purpose of the freshman program, All sections spent one closed period on business reports and discussions with emphasis on Student Council pro- ceedings. and faculty members assist Aaron Albright Delsie M.

We picked our motto, colors, and flower, mea- sured for caps and gowns, and decided how we wanted our diplomas inscribed. Then it was almost over. What would we remember longest about our senior year at East High? Who would ever forget collecting rummage for the Rummage Sale? The money we made was put toward the Speculum along with the money received through the Patron Drive, yes, the Patron Drive, when every senior used his persuasive powers to promote the Speculum. We were proud of being one of the richest senior classes. We will remember for a long time the senior class play, I Remember Mama, and espe- cially the Scandinavian dialect spoken for weeks after. The Senior Dance was next on the calen- dar of senior events. The Circus Swingtime decorations will remain in our minds forever. Class Doyl We willed the things dear to us to the juniors and hoped they would re- member us. It was on that day that Dr. Gates received the i949 Speculum and the memo- rial, expressing in a small way our thanks for all East High has given us. The caps and gowns, that we had been measured for, arrived, We started practicing for Baccalaureate and Commencement. One of our saddest but most impressive ,W H. .

We were reminded ot the responsibilities facing us, and how we could meet them. At the Senior Banquet and Prom, we re- called our first years at East High and our last one. We were proud to be wearing our fa- vorite flower, the Johanna Hill Rose, and danc' ing in the gym decorated with our colors, blue and silver. Our last day at high school dawned all too soon. On an evening in June l949, we marched to receive our diplomas. We heard the choir sing and the band play, and we listened to the commencement speeches. Holding our di- plomas in hand and singing our Alma Mater, we were reminded of our motto, Allured to a brighter world, we lead the way. . . class of '49 COMMENCEMENT A Brighter World Twilight Concert ....... ......,.

All activ- ity is limited to three days, and in this time Death falls in love with a beautiful girl and through her realizes why mor- tals tear him. The leading characters are the shadow, really Death, who amuses himself on a holiday, Grazia, a lovely girl, who is the object of Death's affections, and the Duke, who is the host of Death on his holiday, To give more students an op- portunity to participate, a double cast was used by Miss Stubbins, director, in all except three roles. King and queen One at the feature attractions of the Junior Carnival was the election of king and queen. The queen, Donna Dowell, and the king, John Mouis, were escorted to the throne by the other can- didates. After they were seated, the president and vice-president of the Junior class crowned them.

Introduced in the opening section by the Alma Mater song, the theme is carried out in the division pages and the senior album in special color, photography, and art motif. Joe Little and JoAnn Burg did the art work, and the cover design was inspired by the patron posters. Knowledge of the slide rule and the draft- ing board helped the photography staff in scaling, cropping, and trimming, but Paula Ann, Marie, Joyce, and Nancy got stuck with the rubber cement jobs.

Watch those characters meant just that to the manuscript editor, Dolores, and her typists, Gloria and Marilyn, as they set their typewriters to determine the exact copy for a given page. Sports editor, Frank, and Bill made some sharp plans, which were executed with the help of student photographers. Production problems, much like those of previous years, were handled by Carol Mueller and her business staff as was the distribution of the yearbooks on Class Day. The Spec was financed by the senior class, the activity ticket, and the patron's drive, all managed by the business staff, High salesmen in the pa- tron's drive were Marilyn Marsh and Jack Dunham. Mrs. Schick and Mr, Woolley were the Speculum advisers.

Davis, in whose honor Davis Field was named, has the respect and admiration of students, faculty, and community for his work with the students in athletics and in the classroom. A tribute to our athletic director Under the supervision of R. E. Davis, athletic director, East High maintained a full program of athletic activities throughout the school year with four football squads, three basketball, an indoor and an outdoor track team, tennis, golf, and intramurals. All schedules, equipment, and sale of ticket details were handled by the athletic director. Davis Field, with the bleachers recently added, 82 took care of attendance at football games, but East High gym with its limited capacity posed problems during basketball season for extra headaches and much diplomacy on the part of the director. New equipment included the two score- boards presented by the Lettermen's Club of which Mr. Davis is adviser. Lettermen lead sports activity The l.ettermen's Club of East High was quite active this year, not only working at the concessions at football games but providing ushers and refreshments at basketball games. They used the proceeds for the Scoreboards presented to the school. Since eight varsity and twelve beginning cheerleaders made this year's squad, a system ot rotation was used by Miss Galbraith, adviser, for action at the games. Cheerleaders led yells for the pep assemblies as well as tor all games. CHEERLEADERS, Back Row--S. Allen, C. Jeske, F. Schomer, J. Cosgrove, C. Stemple, C. Tallmadge. First RowgE. Jeske, L.

Then Turkey day arrived with the Big Eight championship riding on every snap of the ball. The Tomcats dominated every phase of the game that day, compiling 215 yards gained and eleven first downs to 72 yards gained and two first down of their adversaries, East's last possession of the ball was 6 inches from vic- tory as the game ended 0-0. And thus the Big Eight championship, so near and yet so far, faded from reality. Yes, that was the Tomcats of 48, gridiron warriors and unac- claimed champions.

Yearlings gain valuable experience The Frosh-Soph squad, coached by Aaron Albright and assisted by Arthur Court, played a full schedule of games in the Big Eight this season, winning two and losing five. Against non-conference foes the kittens dropped three games: York lZ-7, Maine 25-O, and to a larger Argo squad, 25-18. The squad was co-captained by Dave Reed and Jack Lippold, the only two returning letter- men. The yearlings dropped their first four conference games and then came back to win their last two games, the final being against West High. In their initial Big Eight start they dropped a l4-6 decision to Elgin. Traveling to Freeport they lost another l3-O, then to West Rock- ford IZ-O.

JOHN MOUW, freshman football coach The future Frosh-Soph gridders were coach- ed by John Mouw to a very successful season. The freshmen met Marmion twice, winning East High both games 6-O and 20-6. The last Marmion game was probably the outstanding game of the year. They dropped two games to Joliet 12-O and the second game 6-O. East then trounced the Yorkville Fresh! Soph 24-O to complete their schedule. Mr. Mouw had a total of fifty freshmen boys to choose f:om, of whom Don Schmidt, Bob NVilliams, Bill Brown, and Vincent David won Frosh-Soph letters.

The Kittens tasted of victory four times, while finishing second best on fourteen occa- sions this year. The bright spot in the year- ling's Big Eight schedule was o victory over West. The other wins were over Niles of Skokie, Maine of Desploines, and Maple Park. East again was hampered by mid-season promotions as it deprived them of their scor- ing ace, Dave Baker, who moved up to the varsity cagers. At mid-semester Dave was second in scoring in the frosh-soph Big Eight. Coach Forest Buckler varied the captaincy every game to allow the honor to fall on all of the starting five. The freshmen team got off to a slow start in their season. Winning one and losing eight, they encountered teams like West Aurora, Mooseheart, Batavia, and Geneva. The lack of marks on the winning side of the ledger is 92 Kitten kagers and in part ottributeo' to an unavoidable late stort in practice. Mr. Brown, intramural adviser, and Coach Buckler carried out a system of picking the best freshman intramural teams for the freshmen squad.

He also went down to Champaign last year to compete in the state meet. 94 Cat tracksters are Last year's squad sent Al Krock, Jack Hollis, Ralph Mead, and Bob Phillips down state to Memorial Stadium at Champaign, Krock entered the 440 yard dash, and Hollis competed in the discus. Mead and Phillips took over in the pole vault. This year the cinder crew, led by Cap- tain Tony Valent, started their indoor schedule by defeating West, 49 'fi to 45 V2. With a number ot lettermen back includ- ing Valent, Hollis, Mouis, Leden, and Krock, the team had a good season on the whole. George Leden won tirsts in the Naper- ville Relay mile and in the Oak Park Relay mile with fast times. This enabled George again victorious to run in the Tournament of Champions which brought boys from all over the state to compete. George captured a very close fourth in the mile. Tony Valent shattered two all-time East High hurdle records in the meet against Joliet. At that meet Tony's time was by four-tenths of a second the fastest time in the state. Tony contributed many points to the team all season, specializing in the low and high hurdles and also placing in the broad jump and relay. In the other departments Jack Hollis and John Mouis stood out in the weight division, and Dean Moecher, Fred Wrede, Dick Carrington, and Louie Morse were on top in the jumps.

Intramural activities dominate noons Intramural activities were at a peak this year with basketball, volleyball, and ping pong dominating most of the boys' time. The new system of tournaments made play easier, and every boy had his chance to play. The cham- pionship games were well attended. As the weather grew warmer, horseshoes and volleyball were played outside and the competition was stiff, Everything seemed to be handled smoothly by D. E. Brown, intra- mural adviser. With a full schedule all through the school year the boys were more advanced in the sports and were encouraged to try out tor the school teams the next season. VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS, Back Row+F.

The whole school took pride in the boys, when this was an- nounced. Dancing around the gayly decorated tree in the gym at the Christmas open house was one ot the highlights ot the year. Minstrel days are here again! With a snap ot the finger many talented boys were found who made the show a roaring success. Also to be mentioned are the hardworking girls backstage. Making a name for the school and for themselves were the boys who participated in the Band Contest and won tirst prizes. lO3 All colored bows bedecked the halls the final day of Bow Week when were worn the green bows with embarrassment, the yellow with distinction, the red with a feeling of superiority, and the blue bows with pride. What happened? Dick Barnes sending Mr. Connaway to the Boys' Counselor? This could happen only on Student Day, when stu- dents ran the school for one day, Life at East could While walking through the halls during the noon hour, students could hear the refrains of Little Brown Jug echoing through the third floor corridors, where there was dancing and ping-pong tables were set up.
