4 1- IX, N y HIJTOIZIC gilllmlgf-7 .uv--A FAIZMNAL ff THE SOUL OF EAST HIGH Some Eastern peoples believe that after death the Soul, that for a time found its abode in the body, lingers near, as if hesitating to go on to a higher life. East High has its Soul. It has been always manifest in high thinking and worthy conduct. As this spirit of old East departs from its home of twenty-five years, l see it floating above the old building, loth to go. How- ever dingy the Walls. worn the stairs, rambling the corridors: however far away from the beauty and efficiency of the new Marshall School, this spirit will always fondly remember the shelter that was kind. And as it departs, it tenderly whispers: A'Goodbye, old school house, goodbye. I shall not soon forget you. lSignedp W, F.

True it is that the material stones used in the structure of this building have in the past served their purpose well and that there is a kindly feeling for the old building itself, but the content of structure which seems to us of greater interest consists of those spiritual stones which have stood for certain ideals and traditions. In the foundation of Old East High, we find the stones of scholarship, standing for thoroughness, honesty, and a search for the truth. We find, also, in this foundation stones of loyalty and patriotism indicative of earnest efforts to foster such acts as tend to help the social standard of the school and the country. And we find many stones of character, stones that aid our judgment in making a distinction between right and wrong, in giving us a keener sense of responsibility so to act individually and collectively that we may be of service to our school and to our associates. These are the stones that constitute sincerity and right living in our dealings with others, the stones that speak for right action as well as right thinking. . Such are the stones which we have attempted to lay in the foundation of the old building, and l congratulate the Class of l924 that they have assisted in this construction. lt is my sincere hope that the stones used in their future building program will be of the same high standard. lt is also my hope that all who enter the new John Marshall High School. will toil away to lay stones of highest quality in scholarship, loyalty, and right living, so i i Toil away and set the stone That shall stand when you are gone. Ask not that another see The meaning of your masonry. Grind the gem and dig the well, For what? for whom?-l cannot tell. The stone may mark a boundary line, The well may flow, the gem may shine. Be it wage enough for you To shape them well and set them true. Of the future who can tell? Work. my friend. and so farewell. S, W.
