Several of the persons mentioned above are no longer with the East High faculty. Three have passed away, some have been married, and others have taken up new duties, At the present day East High School is an excellent example of a highly organized, co- operating body. Each department, under the leadership of competent men and women faculty members, has at one time or other been distinguished in civic, or even national activities. The English department strives not only to teach the English language as a tool for gaining success in life situations, but to open up the field of literature as a source ot pleasure and of an enriching and understanding of life. The teachers of English this year are: Mr, Nichols, Miss Burrus, Miss Rucker, Miss Tarbet, Miss VanNatta, Miss Waring, Miss Cannon, Miss Hatch, Miss McClure, and Miss Varney. To promote straight and accurate thinking, as well as to lay the foundations tor scien- tific studies, is the aim of the mathematics department. The following are the mathematics teachers' Miss Ammerman, Mr. Broadlick, Mr. Curtis, Miss Flinn, Miss Sisson, Mr. Tiefel, and Mr. Whisamore. The broadening influence which knowledge of the language of another nation has upon a student is impressed upon those who come into contact with the department of languages. Those who study Latin under Miss McClure are convinced that Latin is not merely a background for the study of English, but that it may be interesting for its own sake, especially when the time comes for the annual Roman Banquet, a feast served in true iilll ?'
