19 4a EASTOAIAN Published by the students of EAST HIGH SCHOOL KANSAS C ITY. MISSOURI JOHN SNYDER DON STEVENS DEDICATION WE DEDICATE OUR EASTONIAN THIS YEAR TO EAST’S MEN IN THE ARMED FORCES, MEN WHO HAVE GONE FORTH TO PROTECT AMERICA AND HER HIGH IDEALS. WE ARE GRADUATING IN SERIOUS AND GRAVE TIMES. AFTER GRADUATION SOME OF US WILL BE CALLED TO SERVE, SOME WILL SHED THEIR BLOOD, BUT WE WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WE WILL BE PROUD TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY! MORE AND MORE AMERICA IS COMING TO DEPEND ON US. WITH THE PREPARATION GAINED HERE WE SHALL BE ABLE TO CARRY ★ ★★★★★★★★ ON. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY; WE MUST MAKE AMERICA’S DEMOCRACY STRONG AND FREE. u ADA ROBBINS ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ W. V. CLEMENT Principal To the Students of East High Seliool At the close of my first year as principal of East High School I am glad of the opportunity to express my sincere appreciation of the unreserved support I have received from the student body, the faculty, and the patrons of the school. I have never worked with a more responsive group of young people. The wholehearted co-operation of the faculty has been most gratifying. My contacts with the school patrons, though limited, have been uniformly pleasant and helpful. Our year together has renewed and strengthened my abiding faith in American youth and in that distinctively American institution, the public schools. This year has been one to test the fundamental soundness of both. “Ours may be the tragic privilege of living in the greatest military crisis since Napoleon; the greatest economic crisis since Adam Smith; the greatest social crisis since the fall of the Roman Empire,” said Eric B. Johnston. We have seen in increasing numbers our graduates and even our active students enter the military services and have read in the press frequent reports of their daring achievements and occasional untimely sacrifice. The multiplied demands made upon us all by the war program have been faced with courage, intelligence and enthusiasm. No essential or even desirable activity has been abandoned, but all phases of school life have been reshaped to meet developments current and to come. Pre-induction courses have been set up, adequately staffed, and filled with carefully selected groups. The Victory Corps, the Federal war plan for schools, has been integrated with an expanded program of student participation in school affairs through an extension of the work of the student council. Faculty-sponsored council committees charged with getting specific jobs done through personal work and home room co-operation have proven highly efficient. All curricular and extra-curricular activities have been pointed up to meet the criterion set forth by the Educational Policies Commission: “In the secondary schools, every young person must be regarded a reservist in preparation for the armed forces or for the war industries.” Though our immediate task is winning the war, and we have willingly joined mobilizing the schools of the nation to aid in bringing this to pass, through the murk of materialism of the moment, there must be kept alight the glowing idealism which has brought America safely to this day, confident that the American way of life is worth preserving at any sacrifice. And when the war is won, we must be prepared to enter upon the perhaps more arduous task of establishing for ourselves and for all the world a just and lasting peace. Faithfully, W. W. Clkment. Miss Hatch, our counsellor, carries important duties and responsibilities at East. This year, one of her important duties was the organizing of the High School Victory Corps at East. By the end of school there were several hundred s t u d e n t members of this organization. The b u r d e n of adjusting the programs of tho s e who were working, qualifying for the Victory Corps, or beginning the new pre-induction courses for seniors, was a duty of Miss Hatch. As one of the advisors of the Student Counsel, she helped to organize this group into an effective st ud en t a d m i n i st r at ion. 8 Mr. Broadlick has many and varied duties as vice-principal of East. This year it was his problem to adjust the seniors’ programs in such a way as to relate to the war effort. Several new subjects were introduced for this purpose, and the adjustment of such programs was the duty of the vice-principal. All of the extra-curricular activities at East are under the supervision of this executive. 'I'lie literary clubs and departmental clubs come in this group. Being chairman of the assembly program committee, il is the duty of the vice-principal lo help plan interesting and profitable assemblies for the student body. Mr. Broadlick might be called an “advice-principal.” 11 is doors are always open to help students and teachers with their school problems. As advisor of the junior and senior classes, he comes into contact with class organizations. He supervises all activities of both classes, including the graduation activities of the senior class. Aided by Mr. Nichols and Sergeant Mansour, the vice-principal helps to keep order in the cafeteria and to supervise the assigning of cafeteria seats. In short, the vice-principal is the person who sees that the machinery and mechanics of the school run as smoothly as possible. MISS LOUISE HATCH Counsellor JOHN N. BBOADLICK Vice-Principal East Leaders From eight in the morning till live in the evening the office doors are open to all. Mr. Clement is seen in his office working on a letter of recommendation for one of our departing seniors. Mr. Clement spends many hours in his office faithfully working for the benefit of the students and the welfare of the school. Mr. Clement in his freshman year at East has effectively given his energy to meeting East's wartime problems. Because of the present world situation the academic problems have been most perplexing. Many times it has been necessary for Miss Hatch. Mr. Clement and Mr. Broadlick to “go into a huddle” and straighten “kinks” in the new courses devised for the emergency. Mr. Broadlick receives many telephone calls during the day from parents of students. Mr. Broadlick is seen talking with some parent concerning little Johnny or Mary. We also find Miss Hatch talking with an underclassman and helping him to make out his new program card. These three administrative heads are on hand at all times to help students. 1942-’43 CONTENTS I . . . Where do we from here?

These years now done we’ll not forget In life’s uncertain race, Their memories will linger yet As time mores on apace. The pleasures of our high school days Have matched the stress of thought, And both hare helped to show the ways Our future should be sought. In agony the world now groans And bloody flow the streams, The air is filled with cries and moans, And wrecked are many dreams. The human race must not despair And lay aside its hope, Give up ideals of life more fair While worlds in darkness grope. The highest, few of us may reach, Fat all of us must try To put in practice what we preach The code of dear East High!

NATIONAL II ON OH SOCIETY This year forty students reached the highest possible goal in their high school career: member- ship in the National Honor Society. In 1924 the Society became an established national organization. The East High School Chapter was founded in 1928. Since that time, a group of new members are elected to the East Chapter of the organization each spring. To become a member, a student must have been at East at least one year and have a scholarship index that places him in the upper quartile of the senior class. In addition to one’s scholarship record, activity point and character recommendations are considered. No more than fifteen per cent of the senior class may be chosen each year. On April 19, students were presented bids by the junior class officers during home room period. In a special assembly, held May 14, the new members were inducted into the Society. The members of the faculty co mmittee a r e: Miss May Farr Hiatt, chairman; Mr. Ralph Tiefel, Miss Evelyn Gilchrist, Mr. James Curtis, Mr. John N. Broadlick, and Mr. W. W. Clement as an ex officio member. Those elected to the National Honor Society this year are: Lloyd Bell, Margaret Brading, Marjorie Brading, Marvin C o rev, Dale I) e a n, C a r 1 Deuel, Virginia Denser, Selma Dillard, RosaLee Duett, Margaret Edgell, Mary Flynn, Norman Gibbs, Clarence Harper, Martha Hill, Marion Ruth Kathemann, Ryland Lackore, T. .1.

Senior Officers CLASS III STOIC Y On September 9, 1939, a four-year journey began for some two hundred fifty graduates from the different grade schools of the vicinity. To these new freshmen, everything seemed new and different, and best of all, very exciting! As the freshman year advanced many intelligent students were presented with bronze E’s. Those who received this honor were: Jeanette Livasy, Hosa Lee Duett, Margaret Edgell, Billy Phillips. Virginia Denser, Jeanette Livasy, Hosa Lee Duett, and Margaret Edgell were taken into the American Association of University Women. At the beginning of the sophomore year, Patricia Smith and Marilyn Schwenneker came from Northeast. Dorothy Mae Patrick won first place in poem at the Literary Contest. The third year in the history of the class showed greater success; Bill Whaley and Ed Nelson were on the first team basketball and Ed was also on the first football team. The annual junior-senior mixer was a big success. Russell Beebe led the juniors as president of the class. The fourth and best year of the class brought many honors to different people. Bill Whaley was elected president of the first semester student council and also president of the senior class. Billy Phillips earned the honor and rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Kansas City B. (). T. C. regiment. East won third in football and second in basketball. Jack England, Norman Gibbs, Ed Nelson and Bill Whaley were awarded all-star football honors. Whaley and Nelson repeated in basketball on first team all-star selections. The mid-year play, “The Garden of the Moon,” was a big success. Lloyd Bell was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Eastonian. with Martha Hill, Virginia Deuser and Ada Bobbins as associate editors. At the middle of the year, changes were made in the programs of most of the second semester seniors to conform with war requirements. Trigonometry, refresher math, human science, and gym were added as courses to help them. Near the end of the final year, many of the boys went into active service in the different branches of the armed forces. Among those who are now in the services are: Boswell Combs, Ralph Hill, Calvin Wilson, John Mover, Don Goode, and Eldon Eads. “They took the khaki and the gun instead of cap and gown.” ' Alice Aileen Ablard—Proctor Captain 4; Eulexia 2-4; Spanish 2; Gen.

But this stargazer and birth recorder will let out a few nomnilitary secrets for the benefit of our royal sons and daughters on the home front. Laura Fetters — January 16 — You were born under the sign of the goat and will have a natural tendency to become a miser. (Doesn't it get your goat?) However, you will find your own path to the goal, for a goat picks his footing carefully. “Mickey” McLain — February 14 born under Aquarius, you have a natural cheerfulness, but it is likely to be clouded by the influence of the Moon. Just remember, “That’s the Moon, Not Love,” my chum. Joe Anway—March 17—If you are characteristic of your sign Pisces, you should make a comfortable, agreeable and loving husband. It’s really very simple. Just wear the skirt and love, honor and obey your wife. Lloyd Bell—April 6—The Sun and Moon were dominant at your birth. You have the traits of a dictator. I'll warn you to hibernate when the tomato season is in full bloom. Roy Olson—May 22—You were born under Gemini, which is symbolized by twins. You can resolve yourself into two persons at one time and do well with both. When you get tired of one person, turn to the other. Just remember “you can’t love but one.’ Elizabeth Lloyd —June 27 —Venus and the Moon will dominate your life; and your flowers are the moonflower and the wallflower. I believe you change with the weather. Inez Wilt Sturgill—July 18 — You were born under the sign Cancer, which is symbolized by the Crab. You can easily gain property, such as homes, husbands, etc. Ada Robbins—August 8—Your sign is Leo and your personality is magnetic. Your family and friends revolve around you. And at what a speed! Edward Johnson—September 19— You were born under the intellectual sign, Virgo, and will succeed in any mental work. Sorry, but there was no mention of bachelor. Pauline Banes — October 14 — You were born under Libra, whose daughters are experimenters in love. I suppose you’ll be writing a column one of these days. Ed McBurney November 22 You are a Scorpio person with a strong constitution—an able body in which to house an able mind. I wonder why people don’t take advantage of such good opportunities. Betty Lawler — December 29 Y ou were born under Capricorn and enjoy family and social gatherings. 31 Senior Ihiss I'roplio v TIMK: 1958. FLACK: Last High School. CAST: Members of Class of 1913. NOTH: The following was taken from a torn, yellow page of the Senior secretary book: “it was moved and seconded at the last meeting held May 2X. 1913, to have a reunion fifteen years from now, «r thr members of the class of 43 and their faculty advisers. A reception committee composed of the facultj advisers, MIL W. Y. CLEMENT, MR .1 N BROADLICK. MISS I.Ol’ISK HATCH and PAULIN I; BANKS, are to meet the others. The motion was carried.” The platform is gaily decorated with green and black streamers. The reception committee arrived early by plane. (The Air Hostess was none other than tin obliging and “service with a smile.” DOIU) rH N LIHLRTON.) The Globe’s head news reporters. VIRGINIA DKUSKR and MARTHA HILL, also arrived early so as to get ail the flashy news of the big reunion. They arc eagerly awaiting the arrival of a special train carrying the class of ’13 home. The Democratic nominee for President. MR. RUSSELL BKKBK, is furnishing the train. A whistle is heard in the distance. DANNY SHIRKS’ “Stooges” strike up the band. DON HKLTOVS “hot” trumpet wails in svneopated rhythm. The train rushes into sight with none other than CHARLKS COPPEDGK and HUGH AUSTIN leaning out of the engineer’s window. Well, the surprise of all surprises! The busy Honorable U. S. Supreme Court Justice JOK ANWAY is the first to step upon the platform. He is accompanied by his pretty secretary, JEAN JONES. Who is that following them? Yes, that’s right. It is his wife, SHIRLEY WEST, in a perkv hat. If you’ve been reading DICK PAINTER’S Washington news column, you know all about Dick’s memorable decisions. Heaven’s sake, there’s 1). I , now. (..ill that be playboy WELCH? Why, of course, we knew DON WELCH always played around, hut we never thought he’d make a profession of it. There seems to lie a sudden rush. What is it. gir.s.' OLI KR MALS. Why? He’s the most eligible bachelor in the good old U. S. A. Tall. dark, handsome and money. Wow ! This isn’t a medical convention, but there are three famous “Mods” here anyway. Here is MARY LOU SCHL1E. who after several years of helpful surgical nursing has become the world's greatest woman surgeon. Now comes HORACE MANN, the famous eye, ear and toe specialist, and MR. BUI) HARPER, well known for his wonderful red-seal manner. Remember that if you have any ailing trees don’t forget JEAN PARKER is an expert tree surgeon. The BEADING TWINS, MARJORIE and MARGARET, hardly had time to come away from their “Tin Tinker Shop” for the repair of “Tinker Toys,” but here they are. My goodness! ELIZABETH LLOYI) seems to be having trouble with some of her patients. Those are handsome-looking bloodhounds, “LIZZIE.” Of course, you have heard of LLOYD’S Hospital for “Sick and Homeless Dogs.” Well, here comes a queer-looking couple. Why, it’s none other than HERMAN MOHR. Heavyweight Champion of the world, and ED NELSON, featherweight title holder. Who can this dreamy-eyed fellow be? No, not LLOYD BELL, the famous poet. It is? Well, who is that following him? T. J. LANKFORD. Oh. yes. he is a circus barker now. you know, “Step right up. 1-adies and Gents. See the big. colossal ... Everyone seems to be overflowing with greetings for one another. We see PHILLIP SCHUPP, the second Fred Astaire, and SOPHIE DRYJA, a renowned toe dancer, are joining in a new kind of dance a combination of toe and tap. Looking on this new creation is MRS. SCIIUPP (the former ALTA MAE MORRIS), the leader of the women’s 1958 styles. Here come three very serious women, all keenly interested in world affairs. First, there’s PEGGY TODD the best Home Economics expert in the business world; next VIVIAN GRAY she is president of American Federation of Woman’s Rights Club and ADA BOBBINS, a social leader in N. Y. City; last of these but not least is a woman whose column you read every night. A Kup or Advice to the Lovelorn,” by VALENTENE LOWERY. These two people look as if they had stepped off a stage. One is our own 1943 Student Body President, BILL W HALE . His name is blazing on Broadway this very minute as America’s Matinee idol. The other is TOMMY PARKS, famed chorus girl. Who’s this literally falling out or the train? It’s none other than the well-known DON McCOY, the famous Flea and Ant trainer. He is followed by BEN CHARTIER, a member of Benny Goodman's band (yes, he still has a band, although he has a long, white beard, too). BEN is playing, “Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here” on his saxophone. MILDRED NIPP, now of Metropolitan Opera Company, joins BEN on the lyrics. We see ABC IE BAKER, a manufacturer of women’s lingerie, talking to his old friend. BILL PHILLIPS. BILL is now Professor PHILLIPS. Next to come hurrying up to the reception line is the coach of football at Yale, “REGGIE” ASHUR. He is followed by JOLINE SIGLER, first lady of the theater, and BETTY JOYCE TOLER, the first lad of the land. JACK ENGLAND, the head of an industry producing clothes for cats, is approaching tin reception line with a very dignifh d air. Making her way through the crowd is BETTY HUBI.ER. BETTY has been traveling all over the country showing her fine group or thoroughbred horses. She is considered the first lady of this work. CLARENCE MASON achieved his boyhood ambition to be a fire chief and also a policeman. He worked hard but made it. We see him talking to LKRDO OYER, who has worked his way up to the proprietorship of a men’s furnishing store in New York City. The last to leave the train is our own DOLORES ROSE, who has become a tightrope walker. DOLORES seems to be having trouble with her baggage. for she has so much she can’t carry it all: but DAN STARK (radio announcer) rushes to her rescue and not a minute too soon. ROY OLSON (movie director in Hollywood) seems to be having trouble getting everyone in cars to go to the High School where the reunion will continue. There he is sending the last car ofl', so I guess those in the reception line had better hurry and get in their cars. GOODBYE ALL.

Besides preventing locker thefts, they promote neatness in the hallways, direct stairway traffic, run occasional errands for teachers, and show visitors about the building. They are chosen from dependable juniors and seniors who have free periods. A list of names is submitted to the of lice and the proctors are selected on the basis of the pupils’ character and scholastic ability. For each hour, one person is appointed captain to direct the other proctors and to take attendance. On every floor in the halls during class hours one can find a proctor stationed. If a locker is left open, the praetors take all the books in it to Mr. Shelley’s office. To show their authority and :r; distinguish them from the 1400 other students in the school, they are given a pin which they are to wear while on duty. The pins are issued by Mr. Broadlick. The first year the system was in effect, passes signed by teachers were required for those who left their classes, but it was found that such passes caused too much inconvenience. This year the proctors have been under the direction of Mr. John X. Broadlick, vice-principal. Miss Evelyn Gilchrist, teacher, and Ed Nelson, generalissimo. The proctor captains this year were: First hour, Vincent Hughes and Rosemary Heater; second hour, Edwin McBurney; third hour, Lloyd Bell, Erwin Constable and Rosa Lee Duett; fourth hour, Herman Mohr and Walter Norton; fifth hour, Ed Nelson; sixth hours, Valentene Lowery. •Il'MOIC OFFICERS (Seated from left to right) Inez Lord, treasurer; Boh Baker, secretary: Martha Coleman, gift receiver; Wayne Heady, vice-president: Shirley Coughlin, reporter; Shirley Sims, sergeant-at-arms; Ivdwnrd Mais, president. Homo Rooms The last fifteen minutes of the first hour is known as the home room period. At this time money for different activities, such as football and basketball tickets, play tickets, senior accounts, shop tickets, and defense stamps, is taken. Each home room elects a president, who is the representative at student council meetings, and brings back discussion which has been carried on during student council meetings. Suggestions given by students in the various home rooms are taken by the president to the student council and there they are more fully discussed and acted upon. Complaints are carried on between the home rooms, usually divided into two or four divisions, the freshman-sophomore, and the junior-senior divisions; and sometimes the freshman, sophomore junior and senior divisions. These campaigns are carried on with the sale of football and basketball tickets and play tickets. Prizes are given to the winning divisions. The student council presidents are elected by members of the different home rooms. One student from each home room is nominated and then the names are tallied. The three receiving the highest number of votes speak before the student body, stating what they will try to do if elected. After their speeches have been delivered, everyone goes back to his home room, and votes for the one he thinks best qualified for the position. The one with the highest number of votes is president and the next highest is vice-president. Bill Whaley was elected president of the first semester student council and Jack England was elected for the second semester. Argie Baker and Bill Phillips were the vice-presidents. 37 CONGRESS” (SIihIciiI oum il) FIKST SEMESTER Hack How— Ryder, Tindall, Stokes, Logan, Whaley, England, Combs, Miller, Netherton, Stark, Scearcc, Fa I ken burg.

Girls in turn work with “Friday.” This examination is being carried on in Miss McGloin’s room. Senior Literature students enjoy listening to Mr. Nowlin, former prin- cipal, lecture on Chaucer. This subject proved to be interesting. Senior girls are in step with war in studying first aid. The demonstrations are being performed in the emergency room. Senior hoys prepare for service in studying aeronautics with Mr. Esther. He is explaining the structure of a model plane. (11 Cafeteria i 'orner No, this is not the result of rationing. The cameraman merely took the picture of the cafeteria as it is seldom seen by the students. Many new problems caused by the war rationing have been encountered by the cafeteria staff, directed by Mrs. Romine, and all have been met efficiently. The business of the cafeteria has increased about thirty-five per cent over last year. Books have not been rationed, although reading time has been shortened for many because of the time war work demands. An attractive part of the East Branch Library is shown empty with the exception of the rows of books which offer knowledge and recreation. 62 KEEP ’EM SMILIN’ KEEP ‘EM SMILIN’ Keep ’em smilin’ through the hours Thai are black and coldly drear; Keep ’em smilin' though the showers Drench their souls with trembling fear.

Wahlstedt, who later became vice-principal, as the first sponsor. The three purposes of the club are to create a greater interest in literary work, to further the study of parliamentary law, and to foster a fine spirit of friendship among its members. The name Kalailu is a Hawaiian word and means Friendship. Its motto is “True Friendship Conquers All.” Social events of the year include rush parties, skating parties, and the annual Literary Contest, which is the principal event of the year. For the past two years Kalailu has won third place. After the departure of Miss Carlotta Cunning from this school, Miss Bereniece Cannon became sponsor.

Bernadine O’Dell Martha Hill ...........Sergeant-at-Arms________ Rosemary Heater In 1920 the Leundis Literary Society was founded, the second such organization at East High School. The name Leundis was derived from the three words LEarning, UNderstanding and Discernment. The purpose of the club is to promote literary appreciation among the members, to foster higher ideals in social life, and to work for the mutual improvement of its members. The Hamilton Literary Society is the brother club of Leundis and the two clubs enjoy many social activities together. Other activities enjoyed by the girls of Leundis are the rush teas, pot lucks, the Inter-Society Dance and the literary contest, followed by a slumber party and sunrise breakfast. Of the fourteen literary contests held in the history of East, Leundis has won nine. In 1929, the Third Annual Literary Contest, Leundis tied for first place with the Kalailu Society; in 1930 and ’31, Leundis was completely victorious; and in 1932 they tied with their brother club, Hamilton. Miss Flinn is the present sponsor, and Miss Northern, who formerly held this position, was chosen Honorary Member. Each adviser is chosen for a period of two years. However, Miss Burrus, who was one of the first advisers of Leundis, held this position for six years. The club colors are rose and gray; the flower, sweet pea; and the emblem, a flaming torch.

The purpose of the club is the bringing together of congenial boys who wish to develop higher ideals of literary merit, to study parliamentary procedure, and to strengthen fraternal ties with other hoys.

Last year on the mutual agreement of both clubs, the Websters and Eulexians banded together as brother and sister clubs. During this year the two clubs have conferred and often joined in different club activities. Eulexia has enjoyed the usual rush teas, potluck suppers and parties this year, at which they were entertained by members of the club, who submitted oral and written subjects for the programs. The annual Founder’s Day Banquet and Ball, held at the Newbern Hotel, the Inter-Society Dance and the Lit Contest in April, were highlights of the year, and the pink and blue banner was unfurled on each occasion. The club represents their three high ideals, which are scholarship, leadership and service. The flower of the club is the Delphinium. The letters in Eulexia stand for: E, for Earnestness; U, for Understanding; L, for Leadership; E, for Excellency; X, for X-traordinary; I, for the Ideal girls; A, for Ability.

The club was named after Daniel Webster, the prominent orator. This club strives for a wholesome tiS fellowship among the hoys. It encourages a greater interest in literary and dramatic work. Black, gold and crimson are its colors. The W e b s t e r s are the recently adopted brother club of Eulexia and hold many social functions with this society.

Among the activities of the Hi-Y that were outstanding during the year were: “Girl Reserve-Hi-Y Christmas Football Banquet,” at which football lettermen were guests; “White Christmas” observance, which brought forth gifts all wrapped in white for soldiers, the tribute being a bushel basket of gifts; and the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y Spring Party. Social service was rendered on Thanksgiving Day. The meetings scheduled Monday evenings offered a very wide selection of programs, which included swimming parties, picture shows, discussion meetings and lectures. During the cold weather, the Fast gym was open to the boys for recreation, such as basketball and track. OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Norman Gibbs . ______ ..President .

OIK I KV The aim of the Girl Reserves can be described in no better way than by their motto, “To find and give the best.” They are junior members of the Young Women’s Christian Association. The Girl Reserves are divided into four triangles which meet once a month. The triangle advisers: Miss McClure, freshman triangle; Miss Young, sophomore triangle; Miss Carry, junior triangle; Miss Jenkins, senior triangle. During 1942-3 the Girl Reserves have participated in many activities. On Monday, December 21, the football banquet was sponsored by the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y, and was held at the Y. W. C. A. Paper books were filled with nickels and turned over to the Girl Reserve office and sent out to aid the war-stricken areas. On October 20, Mrs. Ethel Nowlin Head, secretary at the American Embassy in London, England, spoke on London in wartime. Six dancing lessons were sponsored by the Girl Reserves as a means of raising money and promoting better dancing. A farewell to seniors and the Frances Scarritt Hanley award to the outstanding senior closed the year of significant social activity. OFFICEKS President_______ Vice-President__ Secretary-......

East is made famous by its four horsemen— Coach Brown, Assistant Coach Heine, Manager Esther, and Mr. Heischman, physical education teacher. No, they don’t make spectacular touchdowns, stirring long shots or record time. In fact, many times they merely plod along, thinking, worrying and planning to get the best results from the boys on the teams. Coach Roy Brown has been at East five years, during that time having coached several successful and high-ranking teams. This year the head coach was again pleased with the athletic boys and the teams they composed. A new athletic director at East this year is Assistant Coach Heine, who hails from Baker University at Baldwin, Kansas. He coached all second-team games and aided Coach Brown in training the first teams. Mr. Esther, faculty manager of the teams, also deserves credit for the success of the various athletic teams. He was responsible for the splendid attendance at the games, and the line support given by the students to the boys on the teams. Although Mr. Esther gave the pep talks to spur on the 78 ticket sales contests, it was Miss Baker and her business stall who managed all the returns of the contest and kept the books. They, too, deserve commendation. Another newcomer to the staff of athletic directors is Mr. Heischman, who came to East this year after seven years at Central, teaching physical education. Perhaps it is through his efficient training that East will also have good athletic teams in the future. Four athletes were highly honored by their teammates by being elected co-captains. Carl Logan and Bud Harper were elected as football co-captains. Bill Whaley and Wilfred Hanna co-captains of the basketball squad. Whaley Hanna SPOIM SEASONS Student malingers. Wayne Stokes, Don England, Orin Kilkenney, were busy, and cheerleaders Mussel Beebe, Argie Baker, Bill Winders and Charles Coppedge, were at the center of attention, luring three sport seasons. All sports and junior-senior field day (M2) are shown. FOOTBALL The 1942 Bears, using a new system and occupying the dark horse position in the Interscholastic league, gained much success as a powerful scoring machine, but failed to be consistent and thus ended the season with five victories and three defeats to their credit. In spite of seven returning lettermen, the hast football team opened the season with a defeat in a preliminary game with the Ottawa Cyclones, with the score 12 to 0. The Bruins opened league play with a 12 to 0 victory over the Pasco Pirates. East’s touchdowns were made by England and Hanna, versatile Bruin backs. On the following week end, the Bears suffered their first league defeat at the hands of the Southwest Indians. The Indians, playing their first game of the season, came out on top in a high-scoring duel, 47 to 27. This game set a new scoring record for the Interscholastic league, the two teams scoring a total of 74 points. The following week, the Bears decisively defeated the league-leading Tigers by a score of 26 to 0. In this game, Bill Whaley displayed great ability as a passer, and Jack England continued as individual high scorer of the league. In the next league game, East accomplished something that a Bear eleven has not been able to do since 1936. Northeast was smothered by a faster, superior squad of hardened, hustling Grizzlies from East. In this game, Erwin Constable, tackle, and Ed Nelson, fullback, played their greatest defensive game. The climax of the season came in a nonconference tilt with the Wyandotte Bulldogs when the green-clad grid-men ended the powerful Bulldog’s victory string at sixteen, with a score of 19 to 13. A ninety-two-yard return of the half-time kick-off by “Lightning” Hanna and an eighty-live-yard runback of an intercepted Wyandotte pass by Bill Whaley were the offensive highlights of the game. Both coaches agreed that this was the team’s best game, and that all players worked exceptionally well. With the Wyandotte defeat still on their hands, the Bears returned to league play and succeeded in defeating the Southeast Knights, but only scored thirteen points. In the last game, the Bears suffered their second league defeat at the hands of the Central Eagles, by the score of 19 to 7. England scored East’s only touchdown on a pass from Whaley. Seven East boys made the All-Star team. Norman Gibbs, guard, Jack England and Bill Whaley, backs, placed on the first All-Star team. Ed Nelson, tackle, was selected on the second team, and “Wolf” Hanna, Erwin Constable and Reginald Asher were East’s representatives on the honorable mention list. The players who received first team letters are: Clarence Harper, Reginald Asher, Roswell Combs, Robert Ainsworth, Robert Burgard, Forest Austin, Erwin Constable, William Gilbert, Glenn Ellis, T. .1. Lankford, Carl Logan, Norman Gibbs, Wayne Wheeler, Thomas Stokes, William Adkins, Ed Nelson, Robert Baker, Oliver Mais, Jack England, Harold Mallicoat, William Whaley, Wilfred Hanna and Edward Mais. The football father and son banquet this year was held on December 16 at the New-bern Hotel. The squad banquet was held at the Y. W. C. A. on December 21. It was sponsored by the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y. The Cubs won one game out of four in their second team league. Northeast, Central and Southeast defeated the little Bruins, while Southwest was defeated by the Bears. Games with Paseo and Westport were not played by the Cubs. 80 FIIIST S«|l All Hack How—Coach Brown, Harper, Ellis, Scott, Austin, Reardon, Burgard, Thuston, Gilbert, Coach Heine. Middle How—().

With two returning lettermen from last year, Ed Nelson and Bill Whaley, the Bruins opened the season by winning two out of three practice games. The Bears tirst game with De La Salle was easily won, with the score 47 to 16. In their second preliminary game, the Bears again cut loose and defeated William Chrisman by a score of 28 to 22. Although the Bruins fought hard throughout the next game, the Shawnee Mission veterans managed to defeat them by a 34 to 26 score. In these three games, the Bears were paced by Nelson, Whaley and Ainsworth, a great scoring combination. East opened the Interscholastic League with a defeat by what proved to be a championship Paseo team. The score was 33 to 21, and although this was their second defeat, it also proved to be the last defeat for the lighting, hustling East teamsters. Bill Whaley was the only East player to score from the field, connecting six times. On the following week end, the Bears got back into form by scalping the Southwest Indians with a twenty-one point margin, the score being 33 to 12. Gilbert, Nelson and Jack England were great offensive stars in this game. The next start again brought cheers from the followers of thfc green-clad basketeers. East defeated a Westport live, the score being 29 to 22. The Bears were again paced by Nelson, Ainsworth and England. Northeast, champion of the preceding year, was defeated by a faster, smoothly-clicking East team in the fourth league game. East’s sparkling attack was led by Whaley and Ainsworth, and the final score was 35 to 22. This game put East into undisputed possession of second place, and ended the Vikings’ winning streak at nine games. S2 The following week end, the Green Bears observed their vacation from the Interscholastic League by slaying the Wentworth Dragons by the score of 30 to 20. Ainsworth and Gilbert were sparkling offensive stars in this game. After leading the first two quarters of the following league game, Manual was stopped with a fourth-quarter spurt by the fast-breaking East quintet. Whaley, brilliant East guard, again proved himself to be one of the best ball handlers in the league by pacing the attack. The final score was 38 to 28. The day following the Manual game, the East Bears, paced by Nelson, Oliver, Mais and Whaley, trounced the Wentworth Dragons for the second time this season with the score 28 to 20. East rounded up a highly successful season by defeating the Central Eagles 36 to 26. Ed Nelson, sturdy forward, led the Bruins’ march to victory. The sharp-shooting forward hit goals from all angles to total sixteen points in the last three periods. Accurate shooting, excellent rebound play and brilliant passing and guarding ability, all contributed to a successful basketball season. The players who earned first-team letters are: Ed Nelson, Oliver Mais, Edward Mais, Jack England, Bob Ainsworth, Wilfred Hanna, Bill Gilbert, Bill Whaley, T. .1. Lankford and Bill Thuston. Bill Whaley and Wilfred Hanna were elected co-captains. Four East boys were named in the annual all star selections. Bill Whaley and Ed Nelson rated positions on the first team selection, while Bob Ainsworth was a choice for the second team. Jack England rated honorable mention. East was also honored to have Bill Whaley chosen as the captain of the mythical five, as he is regarded as the finest offensive and defensive player in the city.

TRACK The East High track squad of 1913 looked forward to a successful season at Easto-nian press time. The boys were in good shape as they downed William Chrisman High School of Independence 49 9 10 to 47 1 10. It was a close race all the way. Jack England put the shot 43'5 . Leroy Greene won the high jump with a leap of 5'8 . Donald DePew, brother of Thomas DePew of last year’s team, won the 880-yard run in 2:11:2. Wilfred Hanna broad-jumped 19'4 to take the broad jump honors, with Bill Whaley taking second. Holland Barron, a junior sprinter, showed well, taking third place in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, respectively, and running the first furlong of the relay. The East spirit was shown when Ross Brewer set a terrific pace on the first quarter of the half mile to 84 wear the Chrisman runners down and make possible East’s taking of first and second places in this event. If we had not captured the event the meet would have gone to Chrisman. Probably the two most promising sophomores on the team are Bob Burgard and Jack Lassitter. Burgard took second in the 880-yard run, while Lassitter came through with a second in the 440-yard dash. Prospects for the State Meet are Leroy Greene, Jack England, Wilfred Hanna, Bill Whaley and Donald DePew. Each of these boys is also trying for the coveted state award which is won on the individual’s merits. In the runs, special times are set up for this award. In the jumps and shot-put, special distances. All boys bettering these receive a state award. Coach Brown is hopeful, especially as to the City Meet. Many of the boys have great potentialities. If these potentialities can develop into real ability by the time of the Meet, East may walk off with the championship honors. Action At East Competition for the boys and action for the girls illustrate the rigors of the wartime physical education program at East this year. In the picture above, Gilbert has the ball in this Northeast game, but Ainsworth and Whaley led with high scores. Hanna and Mais are also in the picture. In the picture below, the girls are doing their version of wartime training. The girls participating are. left to right: Beulah Huggins, Mary Lou Ubank, Mary Dooley and W i 1 m a Mathis. Lorraine Gray supports the wall. Both pictures were furnished by the Kansas City Star. In1r;i-yiiir;il Sports The objective of the intra-mural sports program under competent direction of Mr. Hcichman is to offer opportunities, under competitive conditions, to develop physical and mental dexterity, and to utilize the athletic inclinations among all the boys. This plan gives the ones who are not participating in an active gym problem as well as the ones who are, a chance to play. Athletes participating in inter-scholastic competition are not eligible. After the preliminary organization at the opening of the school year the hoys adjusted themselves, and began to show interest as well as ability. Programs are fully occupied, with touch football taking the spotlight in early fall and after “old man winter” comes, the gymnasium is buzzing with various basketball tournaments that are taking place along with the commandos training. The latter includes all sorts of races, such as horseback, wheelbarrow, relays and others, and calisthenics daily. Soon the sun is shining and warm weather is here, and again the boys return to out-of-door activities, which include track, field events, softball and obstacle races. In previous years the schedule included speedball, volleyball, ping-pong, boxing, wrestling, shuffleboard and hand tennis, and the following conditions indicate the reason for their omission: Cooperation between Coach Brown and Mr. Heischman enabled the sixth hour gym classes to have the gym floor every Friday and for Coach Brown’s basketball players to use it during the week. Wrestling and boxing requires a large mat and the only one the gym department has is worn out. The full program is also limited because the small mats need repair, and many more boys work after school and smaller numbers are able to report for after-school programs. 86 All in all. the intra-mural activities contribute to developing greater courage, leadership, spirit to do and win, and a better co-ordinated body. ■Basketball The annual intra-mural basketball tournaments were held in the boys’ gymnasium. The freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior classes were represented. The games were run in a double round robin schedule in which the combination of freshmen and sophomores had four teams and junior-senior classes had four teams. The double round robin tournament is one in which each team among the eight plays every other team twice. The full tournament consists of twenty-four games. The champion team of the fall tournament in the fresh-men-sophomore division was team number III, and of junior-senior division, team number II. Captains were chosen and they selected the members of their teams. The champion teams of the fall tournament were as follows: Freshman-Sophomore Junior-Senior Xetherton (captain) Campbell Clark Cobleigh Berchtold Whittington Stamper Schupp (captain) Stark Shelton Hughes Oglesby Harper Brewer The champion teams of the spring tournament were teams number III in both divisions: Freshman-Sophomore Junior-Senior Harper (captain) L. O'Neal Anderson Penniston Russel Baker (captain) Werning Brown Norton Me Co n nell Seri ght Sousley ioiniiiaiHlo Style Training Much more rigorous training for both boys and girls in physical education courses in the second semester made them true preinduction courses. New obstacle courses, including high jumping, crawling through a barrel, going under low benches, and climbing over board walls, have been added to the gym equipment to aid in the physical fitness program. In the lower left picture is the girls’ hockey team. GIRLS9 ATHLETICS Each year four sport clays are held at the various high schools in Kansas City, at which time the girls participate in games such as volleyball, hockey, basketball, baseball, and also individual sports. These play days teach the girls sportsmanship, cooperation, teamwork and loyalty. They also make many new friends from the other high schools participating in these play days. This year the members of the various high schools met at East on Saturday, October 31, at 9 a. in. Each school played three games, which totaled twenty-four for the day’s schedule. At noon the games were completed and all the girls were invited to attend a picnic luncheon in Quear’s garden, with the East girls acting as hostesses. East had an unusually fine team, represented by Wilma Parker, captain; Mary Dooley, Marjorie Richards, Margie House, Wilma Mathis, Beulah Huggins, Betty McDonald, Kathryn Hancock, Frances Pence and Jean Phillips. Miss Rose Segelbaum and Miss Elenore Canny direct the girls’ physical education department, which endeavors to teach the girls cooperation, sportsmanship, loyalty and athletic ability. Miss Segelbaum left East in February to work as a visiting teacher. Mrs. Janet Morris replaced her for the remainder of the year. Letters are awarded to those girls who have gained individual achievement, special award, physical fitness, and those who participated in after-school activities and play days.

And men go matching, one by one, Between my dreams—so near aline Thai I can count them, fine by fine. As they go by. This is no dream—no farce. This life is real—and laughter's sparse. We drank of life from golden chalice, Xow we taste the gall of malice And thirst for peace. Ethereal glow; Heaven's own sweet light Swells round about us in this night. We seek, we find an answer here: Sight for blindness, strength for fear— Our God watches. With God our Master: flag unfurled We challenge life, all men, the world! Mankind follow—look ever up! We'll drink a toast, from the Golden Cup, To- - Victory! —Pat Smith EARL HARRIS 89 LEADERS in R. O. T. €. After winning the coveted position of Major, Bill Phillips, through competitive examination, was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Kansas City regiment of the R. (). T. C.

Mansonr Technical Sergeant Franklin left East in October to report for duty in the United States army as first lieutenant after serving as East's R. 0. T. C. instructor since February 13, 1941. He was honorably discharged from the army in Kansas City and was sent to Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Lieutenant Franklin has been in the service of his country for twenty-four years, beginning in the World War at the age of seventeen. Thirteen of those years have been spent in R. 0. T. C. work. His commanding ability led East to a rating of honor school after inspection last May. His friendliness and cooperation were highly appreciated at East. Replacing Lieutenant Franklin is Sergeant John Joseph Mansour who came from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he served at headquarters as classification expert. Sergeant Mansour was formerly of Kansas City, having graduated from Central high school and Junior College. He also studied at Florida University. He has been in the army for three years and this is his first R. (). T. C. work. He reports that he is very happy to have the opportunity to head the R. 0. T. C. department at East.

LIFE’S KEY’ The key lo life— looked and looked And hunted everywhere; I roamed the wood and searched the field And hoped in hooks lo find it sealed, But no, it was not there. The skies and stars must hold the truth, Or waters of the sea . . . To temple sermons did 1 list. And sought where I before had missed. But still I found no key. At last, 1 learned that life unfolds To each, in turn, when ready; No person holds in hand a key To solve this greatest mystery: The combination lies in me May I be strong and steady. - Virginia Dkusek.

From this training comes the fine ability to sing in girls’ trios. Many beautiful, romantic songs with often elaborate piano accompaniment furnish the experience for singers of this group. The spring concert in assembly by this group includes a selection of choruses as well as trios, duets and solos. Every other Friday the class has a program for fun and experience. This year a lovely Victory song was written, both words and music, by this group as a class creative project. It will enter the Song Contest in Washington, I). C., this spring. 102 The Boys’ (ilee Club is an organization in the Music Department wherein much training is given in the singing of quartets. All boys learn to hold their parts in many line songs, and daily practice is given in quartet work. An especially line, patriotic song was created this year by these boys—entitled “Sing a Song of Victory.” This song will also enter the song contest in Washington, I). C. Much good music is heard on the phonograph symphonies, overtures, songs and suites—until the boys have a large list of the world’s fine music in their experience. Voice training is included in the work of the class, and the making of hobby music scrapbooks. A CAPPELLA CIIOI1K The a rappel la choir represents a very active organization. They have sung for many programs during the year, thus obtaining a broad musical experience. Their engagements consisted of: School Masters’ Dinner, singing for Superintendents’ section of Missouri State Teacher’s Association at Little Theatre, Open House Meeting of P. T. A., Last Town Hall, Presentation for the Men’s Largest Bible School in America, Soldiers’ Canteen and USO, graduation music and baccalaureate service, and the Spring Radio Concert. The annual Christmas concert presented on December 22 was very impressive. The program opened with the soft singing of “Noel of the Bressan Waits,” an old French melody, by the girls’ glee club in the balcony. The a cappella choir then had its processional. “O Come All Ye Faithful,” by F. Oakley. After all the members had assembled on the stage, the song, “O Blest Are They,” by Noble Cain, was sung. The following Christmas numbers were then presented : “Silent Night,” by Joseph Mohr—Quartet by Jean Parker, Hyland Lackore, Norman Gibbs and Dolores Hose; obligato by Phyllis Win drum and Wanda Shively. “Nazareth.” by Gounod—Solo and bells by Freeman Oglesby. “Away in a Manger,” by Muller Duet by Halph Toler and Bob Bennison. “The Birthday of a King.” by Neidlinger -Solos by Norman Gibbs and Jae Hutchens. “Carol of the Sheepfold,” by Virginia Grant Collins—Solo part by Valentene Lowery; trio by Geraldine Heynolds, Valentene Lowery and Freeman Oglesby. “Carol of the Birds,” an old French melody Choir. “Song of Mary,” a Spanish melody Solo by Jean Carnahan. “It Came I’pon a Midnight Clear,” by Willis—Solo by Betty Joyce Toler; quartet by Peggy Todd, Gerald Stanton, Virginia Coppedge and Marjorie Richards. “Sleeps Judea Fair,” by Makinon—Choir. “He Is Coming Soon,” by Melius Chris-tia nsen—Choir. “Ave Maria,” by Schubert—Solo by Margaret Sieggen. “Fairest Lord Jesus,” a Silesian folk song Quartet by Mildred Nipp, Bonita Gilliland. Jae Hutchens and Harold Jackson. The Hallelujah Chorus ended the program in glorious style. It was sung by the a cappella choir with the aid of the sixth hour. During this number the audience stood in silence. Many compliments on the program were received from members of the faculty and students. Two concerts of the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra were attended by many members of a cappella choir. They have grown to be very intelligent and appreciative listeners. Many recordings were made last year, and will be made this year of a number of individuals and also of the entire group. The choir this year has improved a great deal by listening to these.

The story concerns an old professor, who, to prove to his young friends that such a thing as enduring love still exists, tells them a story of his youth, which is then enacted on the stage. The first and third acts were modern, while the second was of the delightful Gibson Girl era. For weeks the drama class, under the able direction of Miss Grace Breen, worked not only on their lines and costumes, but on the plans for the stage scenery. As the play was acted in the garden, there had to be realistic scenery, and the flowers and other bits of scenery were made by the class and the stage crew. Every person in the drama class had an important job to do, and because of their wonderful cooperation, an outstanding performance was viewed with delight. The cast was: Carol, a young, modern girl, a strong combination of dreamer and materialist, portrayed by Marilyn Schwennecker. Katy, a girl who believes in speaking her mind. She is a bit sharp-tongued, crisp and talkative. Brilliantly played by Artie Brink. Professor Maxim is a kind, sympathetic professor, of about sixty years, played by Joe An way. Professor Gaylord, Dick Painter, benevolent, understanding, patient and self-sacrificing. An English professor, and a writer in his spare time. Mr. Palmer, a reserved, dignified, business type of man, father of Carol, played by Richard Lee. Preston, Wayne Heady, a typical, old- 70' fashioned college boy, fun-loving and prankish. Herbert, just another of the gang, full of pep, Horace Mann. Jasper, played by Don Welch, another member of the clan of Herbert and Preston. Alice, Patricia Smith, a gay, fun-loving college girl. Gladys, played by Jean Jones, was Alice’s attractive girl friend, and a member of Carol’s sorority. Leo, a tall, well-built, good-natured athlete, Harold Garrett. Brent, Carol’s fiance, an idealist, sensitive, serious and sincere, Don Helton. Isabelle, Julia Chasteen, extremely curious, pretty. Other valuable participants in the play were: Norma Jean McLain, in charge of sound effects; Mary Edith Fanning, Barbara Taggart, Nita Eldridge, Billy Jean Cox and Betty Yarkasky, in charge of properties. A valuable aid to the play, the stage crew, were responsible for the appropriate scenery and the beautiful lighting effects. Under the direction of Mr. Michaels they worked long and hard to make the stage a vision of beauty. The construction crew, under Mr. McClure, erected a house that was very realistic, and made a wall that appeared genuine. Another organization that played an important part was the orchestra. They played beautifully before the rise of the first curtain and during intermission. The publicity for the play was handled by Miss Cobb and her adept salesmanship class. They made talks, wrote announcements on the blackboard and made posters to announce the coming of the play. Cooperation of the players, coaches and all departments was effective, and the play was truly one of great merit and one East will long remember. Speech Department Hast High has accomplished much in the way of oral interpretation under the able leadership of Miss Grace Breen, speech teacher. The students in the various speech classes have participated in events such as school plays, the charity campaign, American Education week, and radio broadcasts. The members of the public speaking class consist of juniors and seniors who have had previous speech work. From this class, students are chosen to present speeches before the public. The past year students spoke in home rooms on special occasions, in assembly, and also appeared before various civic organizations. The charity campaign speakers were: Patricia Smith, Edward Mais, Xita Eldridge, Jean Hagsdale, Inez Lord, Jean Smith, Patricia Hubler, Shirley Simpkins, Norma Hartsell, Joan Walker, Marilyn Schwenne-ker, Wayne Heady, Virginia Wall, Caroline Schmitt, Horace Mann, Marvin Corey, Betty Yarkasky, Donald McCoy, B. C. Amos, Betty Hubler, Dick Painter. Alice Sinclair, Donald Helton, Kira Thomas, Joe Anway, Shirley Sims, Julia Chasteen and Dolores Bose. Edward Mais was the speaker at Bellerive Hotel, and Wayne Heady spoke at the dinner of the South Side Business Association at the Blue Bird Cafeteria. The value of education was stressed in home room programs by the following speakers: B. C. Amos, Shirley Sims, Nadine Huff, Wayne Heady, Edward Mais and Dolores Bose. The Drama class has veen very active this year in presenting plays. One of the outstanding entertainment features of the year was the three-act romantic drama, “The Garden of the Moon,” by Arthur Jearue. The Gibson girl, portrayed by Marilyn Schwenneker, was the leading influence in carrying one’s thoughts back to that picturesque period. Professor Gaylord, p 1 a y e d by Dick Painter, and Professor Maxim, portrayed by Joe Anway, were two instructors at the University of California. Nearing graduation time one evening as the two professors sat in their garden, memories of their schoolgirl sweetheart, the Gibson girl, appeared before them. The cast included: Artie Brink, Bichard Lee, Wayne Heady, Horace Mann, Don Welch, Patricia Smith, Jean Jones, Harold Garrett, Julia Chasteen and Donald Helton. 10C In the opening exercises of assembly programs the scripture lesson is read by students from the advanced speech classes. “Wild Cat Willie’s Lucky Number” was presented in assembly February 20. Willie, played by Dick Painter, bought a new bat and had spent every cent of his.allowance except one that was spent for a lucky number. He had forgotten at the time that it was his mother’s birthday. Trying to get his mother a birthday present resulted in some pretty humorous incidents. The other characters were: Marilyn Schwenneker, Gloria Neise, Don Helton, Betty Yarkasky, Bill Winders and Norma Jean McLain. Another humorous one-act comedy was presented in assembly March 12. “Thursdays at Home” with Mrs. Larkin, portrayed by Patricia Smith, devoting her entire day of Thursday to saleswomen presented many curious, humorous and sometimes irritating moments. The cast consisted of Patricia Smith, Alta Mae Morris, Virginia Wall, Nita Mae Eldridge, Mary Edith Fanning, Jean Jones, Shirley Simpkins, Billie Jean Cox and Barbara Taggart. Bepeated performances have been given by the two one-act groups outside of the school. On March 10, East met Manual in debate. The question for debate was: “Resolved, that the several states should adopt the unicameral system of legislation.” East’s debaters were: Alice Sinclair, Eira Thomas, B. C. Amos and Maxine McMurtry. On March 11, Wayne Heady, Shirley Sims, Norma Hartsell and Patricia Hubler, representing East, went to Manual for a return debate. In the radio field on March 3, Marilyn Schwenneker served as news commentator for the Bancroft school over radio station WDAF in the interest of selling war savings stamps. On March 5, students participated in the Junior Bed Cross play, presented over KMBC at 5:15. The players from East were Dick Painter, Patricia Smith and Beverly Henson. May 6th of the last year inaugurated the first speech festival which was held at the Junior College. The junior and senior high schools, also Junior and Teachers Colleges, participated. All phases of speech work were demonstrated. The speech festival is expected to be held on May 1st of this year. Intense interest is being shown in the preparation of East’s contribution. National Art Honor Soriotv • One of Ihe highest honors that can be bestowed upon the art student is membership in the National Art Honor Society. To become eligible for membership, the student must display at least ten pieces of art, representing four media and those whose work maintains Ihe higher standard of excellence are chosen for membership by a committee of three judges. Because the exhibition is held so near the end of the year, we record last year’s, 1912, new members. First place was achieved by David Willson, second by Frances Hendrix and third place was a tie between Warren Wallace and Donald Stevens. Those who became members were: Beverly Canine, Jack Davis. John Hamilton, Shirley Iliestand, Shirley Johnson, Betty Lawler, Shelby Leslie, Jeanette Livasy, Dorothy Marye, Wilma Mathis, Waneta McBee,Dorothy Molder, Dorothy Patrick, Alice Pierce, Herbie Ramsey, Fred Reichart, Ronald Ryder, James S e i d e 1 m a n, Phyllis Sparks, Marvin Thomas, Delores Tibbs, Inez Wilt, and Anna Sue Wright. One of the high points of this year's art work was the regional scholastic art exhibition, held at Kansas City in March, at which seventeen East students exhibited work. Those winning honors were: David Willson, one first in water color and one third in water color, and three honorable mentions in water color; James Seidelman, one second in water color, one honorable mention in water color; Inez Wilt Sturgill, first in textile design; Beverly Canine, third in water color; Donald Stevens, honorable mention in water color; Ronald Ryder, honorable mention in linoleum block print; Edward Chambon, honorable mention in water color. Earl Harris, honorable mention in oil. Those who won ribbons also received a gold key, an award given to the ninety best high school artists in this region. The above work was sent to Pittsburgh for the National Exhibition and David Willson sent a folio of fifty pieces of work to file application for a scholarship. He was awarded a scholarship at the Cleveland School of Art, Cleveland, Ohio. EAST PARENT-TEACHER OFFICIALS Hack How- Miss Louise Hatch. Mrs. John Williams, Mrs. J. M. Perrv, Tice, Mrs. E. H.

EAST SHOPS The shops have entered into the war effort in full stride and are helping in every possible way. With Mr. McClure as foreman in the wood shop, work is going “full blast.” Day after day small model airplanes roll off the assembly line. These miniature structures are of great importance in the training of new air cadets. The study of the model planes enables the student pilots to become familiar with various types of planes. Besides making posters, maps and charts for war activities, the drafting department has also received high honors in the field of drafting. Boh Humphrey won first place in the Regional Scholastic Art Exhibit, with Boh Werning ranking second. Mr. Tiefel is the teacher. The importance of safe maintenance of our cars has been stressed in the metal shop. Several “gas buggies” have been overhauled in the shop and the study of motors has been emphasized. The metal shop is under the supervision of Mr. Cessna. 108 CAFETERIA One of the most popular rooms at East is the cafeteria, with its selection of well-balanced and appetizing lunches. Despite the food rationing, Mrs. Frances Romine and her eflicient staff have been able to continue serving the students and faculty complete, wholesome meals. By co-operative buying, the rationing has not affected East cafeteria greatly, although Mrs. Romine has found it necessary to substitute honey and syrup for sugar. However, the meat rationing will be noticed more, since coupons will be required. The ice cream shortage has been replaced by a larger selection of cakes, pies and puddings, and sales at the dessert counter have increased greatly. Business as a whole has increased about thirty-five per cent over last year. The system of seating in the cafeteria was commended by Mrs. Romine, and also meets the approval of the students, since it decreases confusion and allows them to eat with their friends. There are three lunch periods with approximately four hundred fifty students eating in each one. The cafeteria staff consists of fourteen members, including the manager. They are Mrs. Romine, manager; Mrs. Mildred Stark, cashier; Mrs. Mamis Davis, Mrs. Jane Furness, Miss Irene Jones, Mrs. Myrtle Nelson, Mrs. Helen Freeman, Mrs. Dottie Stucker, Mrs. Verna Worthington, Mrs. Mamie Burger, Zula Brown, Mrs. Bessie Reynolds and Fred Clarke. Mrs. Frances Famine Alice .4. Walton HEALTH CENTER Miss Alice A. Walton is the public health nurse of East high school. She is a graduate, registered Red Cross nurse. Her aim is to encourage each student to accept responsibility for his own health and direct him in his development of health habits and standards which he will always carry with him. Our nurse is very helpful to both the faculty and students. She gives talks and illustrations by appointment to human science classes of the school. Miss Walton gives the audimeter test to freshmen, and assists with the tuberculin skin test. The East mothers, members of the faculty and students have aided the health program with their splendid cooperation and attendance at the Red Cross home nursing class, under the leadership of Miss Walton. Miss Walton’s work is constructive in aiding students to maintain health and discover health hazards to themselves. Her cooperation with Miss Hatch is invaluable. Her understanding and considerate treatment of students have made Miss Walton a necessary part of the daily life of East high school. 109 EAST MHO One of the things which the students look forward to every two weeks is the Echo, the school paper, which gives the student recent information on the activities in the school, timely editorials, and knowledge of youthful heart throbs. A surprise to the new students at East is the first edition of our paper which is issued to each student on the first day of school and gives a general concept of the paper and encourages him to subscribe. A special six-page edition was presented at Christmas time which was printed in green ink. There is a different editor for each issue; those who have served as issue editors are: Elizabeth Lloyd, Betty Joyce Toler. Lloyd Bell, Maurine Parks, Ed Nelson, Virginia Deuser, Marjorie Lacer, Martha Ilill. Bonnie Perry, Ryland Lackore, Pauline Banes, Madge Brown, Ada Robbins, T. J. Lankford, Barbara Brewer, Betty Lawler. Pat Smith, Inez Sturgill, Margaret W bite. Jean McClain, Clarence Mason. Details of a staff member’s work include obtaining a specific assignment. Each student in the class writes down events that have happened or will happen during the two weeks’ period that will make news for the Echo. All lists in the class are consolidated into a master list in order to avoid duplication. From this list individual assignments are made. After a story has been completed it is typed and read again by the person who wrote it. It is also checked by the instructor before going to the printer. A headline is also counted for the news item. The copy prepared comes back from the printer in white and colored galley strips. The white galley strips are proofread and the colored ones arranged to show position in the paper. Each page is completed in this way. The “dummy” is then sent back to the printer and the next day a “page proof” is received from the printer and is checked again for errors. The staff members also study biographies of prominent news reporters and editors. Several cuts were obtained from the Kansas City Star for use in our paper. The exchange editors, Martha Hill and Majorie Lacer, wrap and address Echoes for mailing to those in the armed forces, friends who subscribe, alumni and various other schools. The sales and advertising managers were Don McConnel and George Brehm. The Echo has carried much news of service men, some of its outstanding stories being about Lieutenant Laub receiving the Navy Cross; Lieutenant Koutclas receiving the Navy Cross, Seaman First Class Bill Reynolds winning a Navy Citation, Captain Santoro’s decoration, and Lieutenant Bill Gray’s death. Promotions, stations, and branches of service our hoys are engaged in, were also reported. East athletics and sports stories were prepared during the various seasons by Lankford, Nelson. Mason, Soltys, Deuser, Lloyd, Combs, and others. Club activities, knowledge of current books in our library, foods, latest fashions, activities in our classrooms, and home room officers have been recorded by the Echo. Miss Crawford was in charge of all art work. Miss Baker subscriptions and accounting, and Mr. Nichols was editorial adviser. 110 ECHO STAFF Top How Kathryn Badgett, Pauline Banes, Lloyd Bell, John Brehm, Barbara Brewer.

Stim-son said upon its announcement of the plan: “The Victory Corps, with its emphasis on a thorough mastery of fundamental subjects physical training, special studies, and other activities that can properly be a part of any school’s program—will enable the boys and girls to serve more usefully after graduation, both in the war effort directly, and indirectly in other related pursuits.” The two primary purposes in the establishment of the Victory Corps are: (1) The training of youth for that war service that will come after they leave school; and (2) the active participation of youth in the community’s war effort while they arc yet in school. The objectives of the high schools’ wartime program which the Victory Corps fosters and promotes arc: (1) Guidance into critical services and occupations; (2) wartime citizenship; (3) physical fitness; (4) military drill; (o) competence in science and mathematics; (( ) preflight training in aeronautics; and (7) preinduction training for critical occupations. Miss Hatch, our counselor, has been director; Miss Johnson has served as 112 assistant director. Mr. Esther is chairman of the Air division. Sergeant Man-sour of the Land division, Mr. Curtis of the Sea division. Miss Miller, Miss Cobb and Mr. Tiefel of the Community division, Mr. McClure, Mr. Cessna, Miss Reid, Miss Nowlin and Miss Crawford have collaborated on the Production division.

The Production division under the supervision of Mr. Grube has laid special emphasis on Victory Gardens. The Community division has stressed Red Cross work and has assisted in various community projects. The Victory Corps is this year a declaration of intention. The insignia worn by members is not an insignia of award. Miss Hatch, the supervisor of the Victory Corps, states that “we feel that our first job in being a true American is to do our present job, school work, well in order to fit ourselves for the duties we will have to face.” VICTORY CORPS Community Land Sea Hack How—Jacobson, Wilk, Kolmetz, Davidson, Chrisco, Vaughn, Klos, Lux, Badgett.
