11935 EASTUNTIAN TEACHERS ARE PERSCNSH For years the legend has been extant that pedagogues are a stern, peculiar set, learned, it is true, but utterly helpless in practical affairs. Teachers, according to this legend, are utterly without the sense of humor which makes life pleasant for the rest of us. To some extent even today the belief persists that the teacher is incapable of anything more human than the Pythagorean theorem or Avagadro's hypothesis. At East, however, this unfortunate tradition is belied by the very human and benevolent activities carried on by the faculty. If pedagogues of past centuries could but view with what relish and uproarious delight Mr. Wahlstedt, Mr. Esther, and their cohorts greet the capture of a ten-pound bass or crappie, they would turn in their graves with loud wailings and bemoanings for the extinct good old days of dunce caps and stout rulers. During the school year, there is always a program of dinners and parties which the women of the faculty sponsor, to say nothing of a series of volley ball games between the men of the faculty and the boy students, of fly casting in the gym, of fishing trips, hunting trips, sponsoring of student athletics, etc., ad infinitum. From this account it may seem that the faculty activities consist of nothing but entertainment for themselves. However, the long list of charity and benevolent contributions, so often escaping notice, greatly overbalances the amusements participated in by the faculty. From the employees of East High School this year 5507.25 was pledged to the charity chest. Two hundred seventy was collected for the Y. M. C. A., of which amount 55216.50 came from the faculty and other employees at East. The women of the faculty contributed 51371.75 to the Gold Star Scholarship Fund, which supplies money for incidental expenses to needy high-ranking students in Iunior College, Teachers College, and all the high schools. ln addition there were contributions to the Y. W. C. A., the lunior Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Campfire Girls. All teachers are members of the Parent-Teachers Association which sponsors many other worthy enterprises. Keeping all these facts in mind, it cannot but be realized that East is fortunate in having such a fine group of upstanding, civic-minded and co-operative men and women for her faculty.
