PREFACE bringing to us, the heirs of all the ages, a heritage at once in- spiring and bewildering in its magnitude. This year East High School enjoys the facilities of a new addition. lnscribed upon the' walls of this edifice is the design of the Chambered Nautilus, symbol of growth, emblem of the spirit of evolution which still inspires the modern world.
