Always ready to help or hender us in the attendance office were Edna Rusk, Betty Fuller. Hester MacDonald und Eva Bishop. Their Jobs AFB Rnltndin' Up UST1 and Round1n'Up Dirt One of the hardest working bunches around the camp we call East High, the office staff deserve much more credit than they ever get. No matter what time we went into the office, We found them busy at something, typing up the an- nouncements, selling tickets, filling out readmittance slips, getting the finances straight, collecting gym fines, mimeographing tests, giving minutesf oops! We'd better stop before we change our minds. Then there are our custodians. Always riding herd on the dirt, and inci- dentally on kids sneaking into the hall at noontime, they are familiar sights around our campus. Always busy at something and always working to improve the looks of the school, the custodians were certainly among the people we were glad to have around.

OUR BEST PAN Here undoubtedly we have East High's best fan and greatest supporter - Mr. Kenneth W. Rich our favorite principal. We could always find Mr. Rich cheering for the team at Blade conflicts of all kinds, from the football games where we froze our hands and feet to the sweltering track meets. Not alone a sports fan, he came to all East High functions that he could possibly attend. And during each long school day he put in, he worked constantly for better methods of getting a little book learning into our heads. He also worked hard to keep teacher-pupil relations at the highest possible level, and in so doing, helped make our school one of the best in the valley. Mr. Rich has been head man at E. B. since its inception ten years ago. He has seen it grow from a two-year high school to the formidable institution it is today. He has seen many changes in the old place since 1939, and all for the good. And these improvements are due in great measure to one man, K. W. Rich. Not content with watching sporting events, Mr. Rich likes to play the rough old western game of chess! ln the panel at left we see him relaxing over the chess board. He ponders thoughtfully his next move, carefully plays his man, then settles back, successful as always.
