Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1945 volume:

( cidtoniun 1945 published by the students of East High School Kansas City, Missouri t)eclica tion For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see. Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furled In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. —Tennyson, 1842. These are the immortal words of a mortal man, who, over one hundred years ago conceived a prophetic dream. For this confederacy of nations, and a world in which the debris and chaos of a Martian era are but faint imprints in a forgotten volume, we work and hope and ready ourselves. Other pages of this book record the names of our school mates who have undergone their baptism of fire in a reeking foxhole or flaming aircraft; many will never come home. We still believe that they were inspired by hope for a better world. Their hope is ours. To the vision of a future conditioned by brotherhood and cooperation; not by hatred and violence, we dedicate the 1945 Eastonian. (Contents 1.

Clement, Principal North Africa with the later invasion of Italy and the ignominious eclipse of Mussolini. As juniors you saw America's growing might in the Pacific working far ahead toward Japan, the gradual pushing back of the Germans by the Russians, and finished the year with a paean of praise for General Eisenhower and his heroic millions on D-Day. And now as seniors you are privileged to plan with certainty for victory and the reconstruction. VE-Day will come before commencement. Throughout this experience it has been yours to do your share toward serving your country on the home front. War work has been your daily job: service in salvage drives, in the issuance of ration books, in Red Cross work, in war loan campaigns and weekly purchase of bonds and stamps, in jobs in commerce and industry to relieve the manpower shortage, even in the contribution of many of your own number to the armed forces. Your daily life at school has been definitely adjusted to winning the war. Your courses have been redesigned to fit the needs of war conditions and the solving of post-war problems. Do Dke CLii Of 1945 The Class of '45 has had a unique history. As freshmen you shared the Nation's horror and anger when Pearl Harbor was bombed, and thrilled to the wave of patriotic fervor which brought immediate declarations of war against the perpetrators of the outrage and their companions in crime against humanity. You followed with mounting concern the spread of Japanese conquest through the Pacific islands and the Asiatic mainland and the continued progress of German ruthlessness throughout Europe and North Africa. As sophomores you witnessed the stemming of the tide at Stalingrad and El Alamein and the arrival of the Americans and British in And what has been the net effect upon you, the Class of '45? I confidently believe you have come through this rigorous experience better fitted for the life ahead than have those who knew the quieter years. You have learned to accept responsibility and to bear up under stress. You have come to know the value of preparation and perseverance. Nor have you lost appreciation for the finer things of life nor reverence for things spiritual. It has been a privilege to me to have been able to work with you through the last three years of this high school life of yours. Faithfully, W. W. Clement 4 Mr. Broadlick, East's very busy vice-principal, might be called the adjutant at East for he has the duties that the second in command usually has. If you wanted to see a busy man, you would push your way through the waiting lines in the office corridor and gaze at Mr. Broadlick, with one hand on his pen and the other holding the phone. The war adds more duties to Mr. Broadlick's already overcrowded agenda, for he has to see that the students are getting the best possible training courses prior to graduating into the Service of our Country or a wartime industry, as the case may be. He also has charge of all the social activities such as the Literary Societies, the Departmental Clubs and the mixers. Besides his many other jobs, Mr. Broadlick is chairman of the assembly committee. The school is deeply indebted to its hard-working vice-principal. Mr. John N. Broadlick, Vice-Principal Mrs. Hester Kretz, Counselor Mrs. Hester Kretz might be designated as the advice -principal at East, for as counselor, she is called upon to advise and direct those who need the help of a more experienced person. Mrs. Kretz is known throughout the school for her always cheerful expression. Her many counseling duties include helping to decide on vocations, helping seniors in college choices and developing character among the students with straight from the shoulder advice. She also instructs careers classes. For a friend in need, you can count on our able counselor. 5 Mr. Nichols Miss Canny Miss Walton Miss Wade Mr. McClure Miss Canham Miss Nowlin Mr. Tiefel Miss McClure Miss Willitt Miss Waring Miss Reid Miss Boone Mrs. Romine Mr. Curtis Miss Hiatt Mr. Ryder Miss Young Miss Flinn Mr. Dix Miss Crosthwaif Mrs. Pierce Mr. Heine Mr. Schofield School Miss Gilliland Miss Miller Miss Adams Mr. L.

The cameraman gets a more inclusive picture of the faculty dinner in the lower left corner. In one of their lighter moments, the faculty presented a skit in which Mr. Tiefel was teacher and the students were faculty members. The usually serious teachers put on an hilarious spectacle.

They received small pins in the form of a scroll and torch, with the letters representing the four cardinal principles of Scholarship, Leadership, Character and Service. To be elected to membership in this organization, a student must have a scholarship rating that places him in the upper quartile of his class. He then must have activity cards signed by the sponsors of the various clubs and activities in which he has participated. A faculty committee considers the students and chooses those whom they consider to be exemplary of the four high ideals on which the society was founded. No more than 15 per cent of the class may be admitted to membership. The Society was founded as a national organization in 1924; the East chapter received its charter in 1928, and members of the first class to graduate from East were taken into the organization. Since that time the specified number of students have joined each spring. The officers of the junior class presented the bids to candidates on April 17, and those chosen were formally taken into membership in an assembly on May 11, before the entire student body. The faculty committee which assists the teachers in their selection of students h composed of 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.

Joyce Rogers This year twenty-four outstanding East seniors were honored in their selection for the Senior Ballot. The election was held about November 1, and twenty-two members were elected; the other two, the best boy and girl students were announced by the office, cfter checking the scholarship indices. The different talents, and personalities of those elected are expressed by the ballot, each position honoring one boy and one girl. The position on the ballot is honorary and there are no duties to be performed by the elected group. 34 Working together; here are two simple words which spell success in almost every undertaking, whether it be applied to an international peace organization, a football team, or perhaps the most important task of all, getting along with each other. The curriculum of modern American schools is a far cry from that employed in a day when a fat heifer was sufficient tuition for college entry and learning was so much cut and dried memorization of textbooks. In this progressive world, subjects are presented with an eye to bringing about better human relations. At East's November Open House program for American Education Week, parents were invited to witness a pageant of sons and daughters who represented different courses, and the manner in which those courses were taught. Here was a student of English. His forefathers were exposed to an oversupply of classics and more classics, whereas, this lad diets on a well balanced consumption of all types of literature and a healthy fundamental English background. A working knowledge of the language of this country is vital to his future. Jog.ether That young lady was enrolled in a course her grandmother never dreamed of. She was learning, in her American problems sessions, that man's inability to come to an understanding without resorting to fire and steel has stood like a great barrier in his path for time immemorial. A husky football representative could tell you that a winning team must have all eleven men working on one plan, and only one, or it will have little chance of crossing the enemy goal line. If just one player is offside, all ten others are penalized. And so it is in the world. By working together. East students won the right to fly a Minute Man flag for almost unanimous cooperation in a War Bond drive. Home Room salesmanagers patiently waited on students who had money to invest in some activity. They just as patiently waited to deposit this money with the cashier. All these instances came about as part of the work of a progressive high school, in which a body of young men and women learn to work with and for one another. There is nothing which excells that spirit in preparation for a plunge into this bitter old world. This section commemorates those two simple words, working together. 35 Jlome oomS ROOM 313 Miss Adams Back Row—Smith, Do Bolt, Broodbent, Atwood, Worthington, Haire, Richardson.

Most students spend these sixteen minutes in the first hour class room, where the period is used for organization and school activities such as the sale of tickets to school affairs such as basketball and football games, collection for the Red Cross and distribution of play and contest tickets. The home rooms elect a president for each semester who represents his home room each week at a student council meeting. It is the purpose of the student council to help the student and faculty to co-operate. It is the duty of the home room president to report what happens in student council to his home room, that all the students may be kept acquainted with the affairs of the school. Each semester a new representative is elected to act as a home room president. Those who acted as home room presidents during 1944-45 were: Bruce Cross, Maurice Thurlo, Carl Cross, Betty Farnsworth, Marietta Grow, Donald Gibson, Joy Powell, Grant Emery, Bill Fortune, Margaret Gimmarro, Ed Shornick, Bill Ohlson, James Patti, Bob Johnson, Asa Ames, Charles Russell, Bob Graham, Gerald Southard, Evon Thomas, Marilynn Coonrod, Donna Manord, Ralph Tiefel, Jane Coffey, Roscoe Harrison, Douglas Atwood, Herbert Anderson, Richard G. Nichols, Charlotte Emery, Edward Branski, Bob Stark, Shirley Thomas, Sara Laycock, Jo Ann Leeper, Vaughn Roark, Max Robinson, Oren Kilkenny, Bill Swanson, Francis Thomas, Joe Copenhaver, Beverly Canine. Those who acted as home room presidents the second semester were: oomd Wade O'Neil, Henry Earley, Charles Patti, Ronald Ryder, Marietta Graves, Richard Fisher, Virginia Snoddy, George Hunt, Wayne Templeton, Fern Nelson, Jo Ann Allen, Glenn Bailey, Bob Moore, Shirley Swartz, Richard Simpson, Margaret Gimmarro, Pat Kramer, Virginia Coppedge, Lucille Kurtz, Betty Rig-ney, Herbert Anderson, Jack Lassiter, Florence Nelson, Doris Richardson, Jack Cobleigh, Clara Beasley, Bob Burgard, J. H. Flucke, Ray Harper, Travis Thomas, Rodney Tucker, Jim Emery, Bob Graham, Don Netherton, Lloyd Woolsey, Barbara Williams, Maurice Thurlo, Lavonne Mais, Frankie Burgard, Roselia Marino. It is through the home room period that the business of the students with the school is carried on. It consists of only sixteen minutes, yet much is accomplished in that time. The business staff under the direction of Miss Minnie Baker takes care of the money that is turned in by each room. Because of an accidental fall Miss Baker was confined to the hospital much of the second semester; Mrs. Helen Valentine taking charge of the business staff. Those on the business staff were: Gene Quinn, Vonna Lee Potter, Velma Rice, Hilda Kamm, Eva Lynn Rafferty, Peggy Baker, Doris Johnson, Suzanne Edgell. A large amount of money was received from the home rooms during this year. The total of the bonds and stamps sold reached more than $12,000 before the first of April. East spirit always aids the efficient business staff in the many essential war efforts. 37 Back Row—Stark, Rannabargar, Burns, Moore, Cross, O'Neil, House, Maxwell, Johnson, Zachow.

The proctors keep the halls clean, inspect the lockers, prevent loitering and direct many visitors. For each hour, proctors are chosen from study hall 201. A list of names is submitted to the office and the students are then chosen on a basis of their character rating and scholastic ability. For each hour, a captain is chosen, this year's captains were: Oren Kilkenny, Dale House, Wade O'Neil, Joanne Allen, Barbara Hanna, Dale Burns, and Ethelyn Upp. The Health Center proctors were originally known as Nurses Aides They have the responsibility of caring for the minor ills and injuries of the student body, and care of the office in the absence of the Nurse, Miss Walton. The proctors are under the supervision of Mr. J. N. Broadlick, the vice-principal. 38 ROOM 304 .. jp Miss Johnston J4ome Koomi Back Row—Shepher, Southard, Stanley, Nelson, Parker, Cline, Johnson, Plisowski, Riley.

Pre- ceding the auditorium program, parents and students inspected the building and the work of the various classes. Open House ranks high as a genial get-together of patrons and administrators of the school. 40 ROOM 204 Mr. Cummins Jlomc oomA Back Row—Bradford, Duncan, Shornick, Martin, Earl Johnson, Scheafer, Kinnett.

This year East received the Minute Man Flag. To qualify for the honor East was required to maintain bond and stamp sales participation above ninety per cent for four consecutive weeks. This was accomplished during the four weeks period just before the Christmas holidays. The flag was presented in an assembly held January 10, 1945. Dick Penfold presented the flag to ana J lampS Mr. Clement, who accepted it for the school. Mr. Joseph G. Bryan, director of secondary education, was the speaker for the assembly program. War bonds and stamps are purchased through the home rooms. In each home room the sales manager takes bond and stamp money on Wednesday and turns it into Miss Baker who, with a student staff, checks all sales and orders the bonds and stamps.

This includes students from kindergarten through high school. All funds raised in schools by students are deposited in the local Red Cross Service Fund. Last year the Junior Red Cross contributed $3,009.28 to the War Fund. The committee does not set quotas or stress the collection of large sums of money. A Red Cross rally was held February 25th, at the Municipal Auditorium. Murlin Spencer, Associated Press Correspondent, was the principal speaker. All faculty members and students were invited to attend the rally. As in previous years. Miss Katherine Miller heads the East High Junior Red Cross. This year East turned in $552.58 for the Red Cross Drive. A part of this contribution. $165.35, came from the Outburst, when it was held over for a third night. The wood shop, under the direction of Mr. McClure, has made thirty-six bedside tables, thirty-six end tables, solitaire tables, and key cases for the Red Cross Motor Corps, here in Kansas City. One-fourth of the wood shop's time has been devoted to making these articles. Miss Crawford's art classes made favors, inclosure cards, greeting cards, portfolios and table decorations. The school at large filled over fifty boxes to go overseas to children, and more than seventy-five Christmas boxes go to the Wadsworth and Excelsior Springs Veterans Hospitals. Miss Walton, East High School Nurse, taught a Home Nursing course to the food classes which includes First Aid. 45 In the quiet atmosphere of the library, our kind friends, the librarians, help us select our books with good taste and intelligence. They are always ready to help us whenever we come in. They suggest good books for pleasure reading and help us find material pertaining to our school work. The branch librarian is Miss Sarah Bower and her assistants are Miss Brigid McCarty and Mrs. Hazel Marie Peek. The librarian in the children's room is Miss Jane Younger, assisted by Mrs. George Calvert. The library has about 20,000 books. It is in constant use from nine to nine on all week days except Thursday and Friday, retry when the closing time is six o'clock. On Sundays and holidays the library is closed. Assisting the librarians are the pages, students who work during and after school in the library. These pages are Gerald Leslie, Richard Boyce, and Keith Saunders. Mrs. Peek is in charge of the exhibits shown in the display case. Some of the most outstanding of these interesting exhibits were the Book Week exhibit of souvenirs from the theater of war including a bazooka, the Chinese clothes furnished by Miss Mabel Nowlin, and Miss Hiatt's early American glass collection.

Miss Crawford instructs the artists. Mr. Lawrence Nivens heads the vocal music department while Mr. Wendell M. Ryder wields the baton in the instrumental courses. In the senior English field. Miss Marie Burrus heads the list. Miss Breen and Miss Van Natta instruct the speech classes. Four years of general arts, which include design, drawing and craft, interpretation and study of the art and culture of the past, as well as most of contemporary artists, are available to aspiring artists. The students of this department are called upon for stage decorations, building decoration, advertising projects, the design and layout for the year book and co-operate with all departments of the school in the use of fine art in every day living. Mr. Nivens's vocalists are taught to enunciate properly, to read music and sing harmony numbers. The a cappella choir is an organization which performs exactly as its name implies, without instrumental accompaniment. Choir members must be able to render selections in four to eight part harmony. Christmas and Easter assembly programs are enriched with beautiful sacred music presented by the choir. Other divisions in the vocal department are the boys' chorus, the girls' chorus and the mixed chorus. Mr. Ryder's orchestra lends enjoyment to assembly programs and important extra-curricular programs. The band provides spirited music for athletic contests. In the advanced English classes of Miss Burrus, seniors are taught the history and appreciation of literature. They are taken back through the years in a survey of the most beautiful and expressive literature. Modern literature, however, is not neglected, and the students become acquainted with the foremost authors and poets of our time. The speech classes of Miss Breen and Miss Van Natta learn the rudiments of public speaking and pass on to the more advanced speaking courses. In public speaking, pupils observe the more difficult speaking traditions and sharpen debating abilities. Drama enthusiasts get their fill in the special drama class. One act assembly plays provide an outlet for their pent up abilities and the Outburst proves their worth in a large production. 48 ROOM 215 ,, ip Miss Crawford Momc KoomA Back Row—Fredrick, Copple, Decidue, Graham, Jones, Naylor, Foley, Curtis.

Students from the typing and shorthand classes act as secretaries to the teachers, while the bookkeeping classes take care of the school accounts, such as the sale of War Stamps and Bonds and all ticket sales. Since this department is so important to East, awards are given to those who have achieved certain rates of speed in each of the subjects. The following students were given awards in typing. In the forty words a minute class are: Dorothy Hall, Mary Thomas, Betty Qucaken-bush, Phillis Ashleman, Velma Corey, Mari-lynn Coonrod, Katherine Black, Ellen Moyer, Virginia Carey, Jane Coffey, Margaret O'Neil, Lela King, Maxine McConnell, Bette Williams, Betty Riedl, Mary Ann Pickrell, Mary Lou Eubank, Pauline Davidson, Ruth Sanderson, Mary Alice Ailshire, Clara Murray, Helen Opalka, Maxine Klopfenstine, Norma Turman, Virginia Smith, Joyce Rogers, Helen Scharfenberg, Dorothy Campbell, Bernice LeGrand, Imogene Gilliam, Clarice Bair, Marjorie Duncan, Barbara Robinson, Mary Louise Wessley, Jean Neff, Betty Heiser, Marguerette Joy, Barbara Hanna, Darlene Bell, Margaret Ballou, Venia Lou White, Virginia Bushnell, Zella Rhodes, Catherine Glathaar, Cecelia McCarthy, Etta Pearman, Maxine Baker, Margaret Gimmarro, Wilma Long, Lois Nelson, Barbara Mooney, Dorris Runyon, Peggy Twaddell, Alice Laursen, Barbara Childress, Peggy Loper, Betty Hardner, Joan John, Leonard O'Neal, Charles Patti, Virginia Meredith, Julia Lee Nelson, Marie Bales, Erene Dryja, Wilma Son, Delores Hutchison, Ralph Toler, Florine Jones, Frances Williams.

Eighty words a minute were achieved by Maxine Baker, Wilma Long, Beverly Seiff, Virginia Bushnell, Vera Redenbaugh, Virginia Smith. In the second year classes the following girls made a goal of one-hundred words per minute in taking shorthand dictation and transcribing it: Dorothy Campbell, Ruth Cooley, Marilynn Coonrod, Mary Nelson, Betty Quackenbush, Doris Richardson, Bette Williams, Mary Alice Ailshire, Peggy Baker, Velma Corey, Barbara Hanna, Maxine Klopfenstine, Meredith Richardson, Maxine McConnell, Barbara Hanna, Dorothy Hall, R'Neta Cline. 51 9n dll Atria I sdrli The Red Cross received bed card tables, bed side tables, and key cases for the Red Cross Motor Corps, from the wood shop, and 500 metal ash trays from the metal shop this year. This work was done in addition to the boys' regular work. Mr. McClures' wood classes are also nearing completion of the glider begun last year. It's production was held up because of the shortage of fabric to cover it. The boys also worked on many individual projects such as beds, card tables, coffee tables, lamps, etc., for their own homes. The metal classes of Mr. Priefert are divided into the following units of work: machine shop, foundry, sheet metal, bench metal, art metal and forge work. Projects in metal class range from door knockers, and tool chests to drill presses, lathes and band saws. These machines would make a complete home work shop. The efficiency of the already efficient drafting department at East was increased when it received a new blue print machine. The machine not only does prints in blue, but it does prints in black and white as well. A modern house designed by Walter Bruns was modeled for exhibition at the Nelson Art Gallery in May. Mr. Tiefel's classes are also planning a revised scale model of a post war classroom, with improvements over the previous one. STAGE CREW The stage crew is very fundamental in the activities of the school. It is the backbone of every assembly, show or meeting held in the auditorium. It's work must be exact and prompt. A few of it's many jobs are the arrangement of stage settings, taking care of all sound effects, lighting of the auditorium, both stage and audience during night shows, and the placement of the microphone. To be on the stage crew, a boy must have and maintain a high 'S' average. This is an accomplishment in itself, for many times a boy must be called from class to work on the stage. East students are grateful to Mr. Michaels, the supervisor and the boys for their many hours of overtime work.

Mrs. Romine, aided by the other workers in the cafeteria, must plan, each day, a balanced diet for the hungry East high students and teachers. In preparing this food, the vitamin and mineral content must be considered, along with the caloric content, to obtain a balanced meal. Rationing further complicates this problem. As students step up to the steam tables, they are served swiftly and efficiently, so that everyone may have time to eat. The cafeteria workers are: Mrs. Frances N. Romine, manager, Mary Audsley, Grace Bishop, Fred Clarke, Nettie Cox, Viola Dooley, Claudia Dalton, Eleanor Dunham, Florence Hale, Florence Holmes, Flora Howe, Irene Jones, Viola Kinsey, Mrs. Myers, Della Mahaney, Mildred Stark, Bessie Reynolds, Benson Taggart, Lillian Ware, Frances Smith, and Lucile Wheatley. JLJtk The Health Center of East High is directed by Miss Walton. She aids the pupils and teachers in forming good health habits and cares for those who become ill during school hours. Each year, she assists in giving the tuberculosis skin test, gives vision tests, and teaches classes in home nursing. The girls who assist Miss Walton are called Nurse Proctors. They have a position of importance, and, therefore, must have high grades and must be approved by the office. The Nurse Proctors, this year, are: Betty Chapman, Charlotte Emery, Mary Lou Eubank, Donna Manford, Anna McLaughlin, Carol Smith, and Mary Lou Wallace. 54 ROOM 201 Mr. Les Fields Jlome ?, oomS Back Row—Rudecn, Kilkenny, Mois, Johnson, Fct-terling, Klopfenstine, Krohn.

SaL esmanacjers These treasurers have never really been given credit for the faithful work they do each year. The job of salesmanager is among the highest to be attained as the work calls for the brain of a financial genius, responsibility, mathematical accuracy and absolute honesty. Students and teachers, alike, entrust their funds to these capable treasurers. Their work requires responsibility for Outburst ticket sales. Red Cross contributions, football and basketball money, P.T.A. memberships, War Stamps and Bonds, and many other tasks. Yet, on they work, always willing to oblige. During home room, if you happen to be passing in the hall, you would probably hear these remarks. You owe me six cents. Hey you, I don't want this receipt, I bought War Stamps. These Quiz Kids live the life of Morgenthau, but for only 16 minutes per day. To the patience and understanding of the sales-managers we pay tribute.

Mecco for East Art Students yjational Jlonor Societi y One of the most important experiences of the year for the art student is the one-man show, in which students compete for membership in the National Art Honor Society. Each participant selects at least 10 pieces of work which he has done during the year; these include plates in four different media. The work is displayed in the third week of May. After the three judges of the event have chosen the winners, on the merits of originality and workmanship, faculty and friends may view the accomplishments of the school's more artistic students. The winners in May, 1944 were: Jim Seidelman, who received first place; Fred Reichart, second; and Ronald Ryder, third place winner. Ralph Tiefel, Joyce Owens, and Jeanette Leeth were awarded Hon-orabl Mentions. The following nineteen were given membership: Vera Rose Butler, Beverly Canine, Bar- bara Casey, Edward Chambon, Dolores Cockell, Marjorie Duncan, Margaret Glad, Bill Gilbert, Dick Johnson, Florine Jones, Cecelia McCarthey, Anna Lee Milligan, James Patti, Bob Pounds, Phyllis Sparks, Bill Tarr, Bill Thuston, Tommy Vincent, Edna Wickman. Since 1937, when the East chapter of the National Art Honor Society received its charter, membership in the organization has been one of the highest honors bestowed on the East art student. Each member may proudly wear the Society pin, a small octagon with the typical palette and brushes and the letters A H S. Still another outstanding point in the year's work is the regional scholastic art exhibition, held in March, at which East students won honors. Ronald Ryder won first place in poster, Joyce Owens, Honorable Mention in poster, Dick Johnson, Honorable Mention in water color, Marjorie Duncan and Florine Jones received awards for portfolios. 59 Wu, PeaJ The members of the Eastonian staff wish to dedicate this page to the memory of Miss Pearl Jenkins, who unselfishly devoted her life to East students from the time the school opened in September, 1926, until November, 1944, when she was forced to retire because of ill health. During her years at East, she earned the affection and respect of all who knew her. Miss Jenkins' unselfish nature was expressed through her classes and through the Girl Reserve organization, in which she served for many years as junior triangle sponsor, and in which many East girls gained a warm and lasting feeling of friendship for the dinty, modest and sincere teacher in room 304. Miss Jenkins' attitude toward her profession was expressed by her friend during all the years at East, Miss Emir Ammerman, in the following: W. WL Dead, We who teach have for our shaping Precious plastic, boundless store, Blood red, pulsing, fluctuating. Seeking, changing evermore New beauty, far beyond the power. Beyond the skill of human hand. Every day and every hour Is ours to know and understand. We find the dreams that come fresh tinted From an angel's rainbow hue; We spend the coin that Eden minted When earth and sea and sky were new. There's much of love and eager living Within our narrow crowded halls; Much of generous, youthful giving, Before the world's harsh duty calls. No artisan can have the showing Of the workshop called the school; Bricks and stones and hot steel glowing Never quicken to the rule That young minds grasp and young hearts seek for, That widens eyes so wonder bright; No other builder thus can speak, for He builds not with living light. 60 I { e Reasons Coach Brown Coach Heine Coach Fields Mr. Esther s tlietic o epartmenl THE COACHINC STAFF This year East High's athletic teams were guided through successful seasons by the wise and able leadership of the big four, consisting of Mr. Brown, Mr. Heine, Mr. Fields, and Mr. Esther. Through the three seasons, basketball, football, and track, two trophies have been won as the Eastonian goes to press. The awards won by the boys through the coaching of Mr. Brown and his assistants were the Interscholastic League football co-championship, and the Big Six Indoor Track meet. These trophies may be seen in the case in the front hall. Coach Brown succeeded in bringing his first Interscholastic League Football Championship home to East. His track boys also won their first Big Six Indoor Track title. Mr. Heine is first team basketball coach. He is very valuable to Coach Brown as second team football mentor. Mr. Fields, back from a two year stretch in the army, proved his value as an all-around athletic coach. He served as Freshman football coach, second team basketball coach, and assistant track coach. In the meantime, he conducts the gym classes. Mr. Esther is the business man of the big four. In doing this, he has charge of the football, basketball, and track season tickets. STUDENT MANACERS This year the student managers were Ralph Toler, Donald Kudart, Lawrence Brockmier, Pat McCormick, and Junior Hutton. These boys worked hard and long for no glory and no pay. CHEER LEADERS For the first time East had girl cheerleaders as well as the boys. The boy cheerleaders were Ed Shornick, Grant Emery, Don Netherton, and Tommy Campbell; while representing East's girls were Darlene Bell, Marjorie Duncan, Joann Allen, and Marie Mistele. Their pictures may be found on the snap pages along with the student managers. 62 Spotlight On Snorts Flashes of 1944-45 sports events: Fans tensely await the referee's decision in a tight moment as the Bears do battle at Ruppert Stadium.

These are the boys who put East on top in the Interscholastic League football championship race 65 3oo tue Using the dynamic T-Formation for the third consecutive year. Coach Roy Brown's gridiron team proved to be just the outfit it was meant for. With two lightning fast backs in Ray Mais and Bob Johnson, only slight holes were necessary in the opposing lines, for the two backfield aces were sprung through the openings with explosive speed. East had a fine pair of guards in Asa Ames and Ronald Ryder, who stopped opposing line plunges at the line of scrimmage. John Reardon and Dick Penfold teamed up at the tackle positions to crush off-tackle slants and turn in around the end plays. Both were a power on offense. Bob Burgard and Kenneth Rudeen played the end positions effectively. Bob scord a touchdown against Southeast on an aerial and played a consistent receiving game all season. Rudeen holds the distinc- tion of playing in every quarter of every game. Ralph Hyatt held down the center post and was a strong defensive line backer. Karlin O'Neal quarterbacked the team through the schedule and carried the ball himself to good advantage. When a few yards were necessary for a first down, Bryce Copenhaver took the ball on a center plunge and never failed to pick up yardage. Coach Brown presented letters to the following boys: Bob Burgard, Kenneth Rudeen, Dick DeShazer, Raymond Harper, John Reardon, Asa Ames, Wade O'Neil, Leonard Parks, Clarence Schmitt, Ronald Ryder, Oren Kilkenny, George Clark, Richard Nichols, Bob Moore, Ralph Hyatt, Karlin O'Neal, Raymond Mais, Leonard O'Neal, Bob Wall, Bill Hyland, Bob Johnson, Bryce Copenhaver, Bob Werning, Dick Penfold and John Neville.

This year the 1944 Bears won their first football championship in eight years. With one of the most powerful teams in Kansas City, East won all but one of her Interscholastic games. Southeast was named as co-champions with East; their only loss was at the hand of the mighty Bruins. It is significant to note that the Bears defeated the Knights 26 to 0 in the first league tilt. East's only loss was to Northeast 0 to 6, on a wet, slippery field which somewhat slowed the dynamic Bear backs. East played two EAST BEARS CLAW EAGLES 12 to 0 BEAR POWER ATTACK DOWNS TIGERS 28-6 BEARS DOWN INDIANS 27-7 FOR FINAL WIN outside games during the season. The first was with a mighty Ward team and was lost 0 to T9. In the second, the Bears had a field day in overwhelming an inexperienced Manual eleven, 58 to 0. During the league season the Bears swept back their op-ponnts with a total of 138 points while only 31 were tallied against the Green and Black. Much credit for the team's success should go to Coach Brown and his staff, who worked tirelessly in developing the boys into a championship team. Mr. Brown said it was the best football team he has ever had the privilege to coach. 3inal 3n terScholastic oCeayue St an din 95 w. L. T. Pts. O.P.

The Bears, who were up against some of the strongest league teams ever grouped together in one year, were a good lightweight outfit, but couldn't match the sparkle of the opposing cagers. Northeast's Vikings were the undefeated champions in a sizzling race. Coach Fred Heine's Grizzlies toppled four powerful Catholic high quintets in pre-holiday games, losing only to a stubborn Glennon outfit, which had its hands full all the way. The yellow-jerseyed Cadets from De La Salle, led by southpaw Captain Bob Sterner, fell by the wayside, 32 to 29, in a see-saw battle which saw the lead change hands five times in the last half. Buckets by Dale Burns and Charles Russell in a thrilling overtime fracas left Ward's Kansan cagers on the short side of a 33 to 34 score. The Cyclones later humbled three top-bracket Missouri teams: Northeast, Southwest and Westport. Defensive-minded Hogan held East's basketeers to their lowest score of the year, but lacked the offensive punch to outscore the Bruins' back court men. The Green and Black triumphed, 19 to 17, with the Rams connecting with only two field goals. Catholic loop champions, the fighting Irish of Lillis, tasted defeat in a homecoming game for the Bears due to an accurate flip from the free throw line by Bob Burgard that knotted the count at 38-all, and a short lay-in fielder credited to Ray Mais which sewed up the contest. East ushered in the Interscholastic season jointly with Coach Frank Guemple's fast-breaking Central-ians in the first game of a quadruple bill. Playing race horse ball, the Eagles were all over the court in the first quarter to gain a swift lead, but Bruin cagers came back with a sticky defense and a steady scoring attack from the post positions that gave the Kingbirds a fit. Bob Burgard pushed in eleven points while Charley Russell finished in the runner-up position with 10. A hectic final half found the Central crew guarding a precious three point lead successfully. Smarting from a defeat of the previous week, a squad of ceiling-scrapers from Southwest poured in the baskets to overwhelm the Bears 46 to 28 in a fracas in which the grizzly quint saw nothing but elbows for thirty-two minutes. Seeing that under-the-basket tactics were useless, the Bears tried out-court shots but couldn't connect consistently. Bob Burgard, one of the finest back court men in the loop, left the team after this game to begin training in defense of his half-mile crown. 68 I M 0 1 idk. 6 o Adit O ti Ani ft A o . fZS' o Top Row—Dale Burns, Ray Mais, Bob Burgard, Walter Bruns, Charles Russell, Karlin O'Neeal.

BASKETBALL The next Saturday, the Bears drew a bye in league play and travelled to Independence to engage William Chrisman in what was, from the audience standpoint, the most thrilling game of the season. From the very start, both teams played fiery, hustling basketball. Chrisman concentrated on feeding Les Fields, lanky pivot man, and fluffing in short lay-in shots, which East concentrated on exactly the same thing, substituting Russell for Fields. Ray Mais played one of his best games of the season—couldn't be stopped. Field's fielder in the closing seconds spelled out a heart-breaking one point (34 to 33) loss for the Easterners. Manual's Crimson five, geared about sophomore all-star, Bruce Webb, were in hot water all the way up to the last quarter, having to go all out to down a stubborn East outfit. In that period, Webb's uncanny side-court floaters proved to be the margin of victory. Charley Russell worked in his pivot play effectively to the tune of 15 points. Coach Bob Armour's Pirate plank was well oiled as the Bruins slipped from a six point lead to a six point deficit in the closing seconds of play due to sub guard Dale Owings's two fielders and Bob Phillip's set shot which broke up a 36-all tie-up and salted away the game for the Corsairs. 69 SECOND TEAM Back Row Leo Mendenhall, Edgar Sayles, Charles Ramsey, Earl Klopfenstine, Frank Krohn. Front Row—Tommy Vincent, James Patti, Benson Taggart, Bill Speaks. d3aibetlal( A sparkling group of Westport Tigers put on a scoring exhibition in the next week's contest to outpoint the Bruin basketeers 44 to 27. Russell kept up his record in the top loop scoring strata with thirteen tallies. Living up to advance notice. Northeast's Viking champions-to-be exhibited a fancy scoring attack and glue-like defense in defeating East 55 to 25. The Nor'easters were a power off the backboard and controlled the leather sphere the greater part of the time. The last battle of the season saw the Bears bowing in an overtime period to a Southeast team which it had outscored and outplayed for three quarters. The Grizzly courtsters started off hot and ended as cold as an Eskimo's igloo. Coach Charles Huhn's southern five crept up slowly during the last half and shot into the lead in the appended session as Earl Niewald laid in a one-handed field goal and added a free throw. A late basket by Dale Burns could not bridge the gap. Thus ended the 1945 basketball schedule. Charles Russell, high-scoring center was honored with a second team all-star berth, and Ray Mais, fiery guard, was an honorable mention choice. In assembly, March 2, Coach Heine presented the following boys first team letters: Ray Mais, Dale Burns, Bob Burgard, Walt Bruns, Charles Russell, Karlin O'Neal, Jim Crider, Bob Werning, Leonard O'Neal, Charles Stamper. Coach Les Fields awarded second team letters. 70 Back Row—Robinson, Hunt, Simpson, Armstrong, Brewer, Stork, Schmitt, Trail, Morris, C. Johnson, Jones, Walker, Vaughn.

Before Old Man Winter had gone into his summer vacation the track team to represent East was hard at work. The sprinters and distance men were limbering up their leg muscles, while the field men were building up their shoulders. East has had four track meets, at this writing, and has displayed power and stamina by winning three. The Bears of William Chrisman and the Annual Big Six Indoor Track Meet were the easy pickings of the East Bruins. However Southwest, last year's City Champions, proved too much for the Bears in our first Interscholastic tilt. After this loss, the Bears snapped into some good performances to defeat the strong Central Eagles. Bob Burgard, Bill Peden, and Charlie Russell, are the half-milers. Burgard hopes to lower the city record of 2:02.3 this year. Bob Johnson, Jack Lassiter, Arnold Van Trump, and John Jackson are the hope of the sprinters' union. Johnson is among the timber toppers, a group which includes Bob Wall, Ray Mais, and Karnie O'Neal. The field men are Dick Penfold, Clarence Schmitt, Leonard Parks, Benson Taggart, Willis Brewer, Bob Johnson, Bob Wall, Bert Morris, Ray Mais, Jack Bird and Le Roy Gillham. Bob Burgard has swung around the oval this season in the good time of 2:06.5. Bob Johnson has broad-jumped 20 feet 6 inches and skipped the sticks in :24.4. Dick Penfold has put the shot 43 feet 10i inches and Bob Wall has high-jumped 5 feet 7} inches. Arnold Van Trump and Jack Lassiter have done well on the 440 yard run. John Jack-son, a sophomore, has displayed power in the 220 and 100 yard dashes. At this writing Coach Brown and the boys are looking forward to the City Meet and are working for the championship. 71 Cjirli ’ S ltlileticA The interscholastic playdays are the highlights of the girls' intra-mural activities. The playday sports for this year were Basketball, Volley Ball and Baseball, and were held at Southwest, Central and Westport, respectively.

Miss Canham came to East from special assistant's work in physical education in Elementary schools, in 1943. She is in charge of all freshmen, and also those who stay after school. Her work consists of helping the freshmen better themselves in athletics. She has competitive games between teams and between classes. The games are soccer, basketball and baseball. First hour class won the inter-class soccer tournament, and fifth hour class won basketball. Miss Canny came from Manual and Jr. College, in 1941. She has been in charge of many social events here at East and sponsor of the Senior Girl Reserves. She was in charge of the decorating committee for the R.O.T.C. Ball, and also helped at Kensington Center with the dancing and decorating for special occasions. Miss Canny has charge of the upperclassmen who stay for after school activities. Both Miss Canny and Miss Canham sponsor the Athenian Club. This department has many advantages and benefits and offers wonderful opportunities for the girls. Among the activities of the physical education department are dancing, exercising, marching and skills. The games offer relaxation from strenuous studies of the day and give the girls a chance to develop their physical strength and coordination. The physical education department strives to develop character among its members as well as athletic ability, speed and cooperation. This training often accomplishes an amazing transformation in some individuals who may lack these qualities before entering this course. 73 Sgt. Mansour ieoDC jll� Sergeant John Joseph Mansour is in his third year as sergeant-instructor of the East battalion. Sgt. Mansour has led the cadets to the coveted Honor Rating for three consecutive years. A native of Kansas City, the sergeant attended Central high and Junior College. He studied at Florida University before entering the U. S. Army. In the army he served as headquarters classification expert at Fort Leavenworth before assuming command of the East battalion. Major Withers Major James Withers has attained the rank of the highest officer of the East Battalion through application to duty and ability to command. The Major has distinguished himself in his three years of ROTC service by gaining a position on the regimental staff, winning the Best First Year Cadet Medal and firing with the rifle team.

His letter seems to indicate that combat missions are very similar to the gridiron sport and that football training is very helpful to combat pilots. Here is a vivid account of a raid in which Keith held down the pilot position on one of the vital aircraft: March 15, 1945 Dear Folks: Received your letter, written on the 26th, on the 12th of March. I started an answer but didn't have time before we took off again. I suppose you have read about several raids on the Jap mainland, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, etc. We have been doing pretty good. Not a scratch on our ship as yet. This whole thing is just like a big football game. First you start the season with lots of practice (O.T.U.). Then comes your first game on the varsity. The coach (C.O.) tells you the best plays to use and what plays the other team is apt to use (Briefing). Then you go out on the field (get in your ship and take off). Everyone pats you on the back and says 'Good Luck' and you wave and smile. The stands are full and the crowd is cheering (at the end of the runway). The whistle blows and you are off on a grinding series of plays in the first quarter (on the way to the target). As you near the half, the score is just about tied (you start sweating out how many searchlights and flak). You can see the goal line coming into passing distance. Then you start pulling the other team out of position (evasive action before and after the bomb run). All at once you make a touchdown (bombs away) and you are racing back to your end of the field. The whistle blows for the end of the first half. We go back to the locker room for a rub-down and check on any injuries (after leaving the target we remove flak suits which weigh 30 lbs., and check for any damage). Then the last half of the game commences. We are still playing hard because we are only 7 points ahead (fighters and poor navigation would even the score suddenly). The last half drags on for what seems eternity (the flight back from the target is long and tiresome after the strain and excitement is over). Then the final whistle blows and the crowd comes out of the grandstand (sides of the runway). We see our island and come in for a landing. Our ground crew is waiting to meet us and take over the ship and get it ready for the next mission. See, it's just the same—we're all scared as hell, just before we get to the target but once we start in on the run, we are all playing for keeps and don't have time to think about anything but going right on through and getting back to the sack on our island. There is nothing like seeing a good fire in Japan. Will close now and write Marguerite. Your loving son, Keith P.S. Don't worry about me. I'm O.K. I never got hurt playing football. 78 Saturday Afternoon Come along with me to the football game some Saturday afternoon When the sun beams down from October skies, and the world hums a happy tune. It's a rollicking crowd that throngs the gates, filled with a zest for Life, And out on the field teams of brilliant hue warm up for the coming strife. The whistle blows, your team kicks off— Onward East High blares the band. The crowd's on its feet, its eyes on the ball-pandemonium reigns in the stand. Up and down the field the battle's waged, you scream 'till your throat is sore. Cheer leaders down front exhaust themselves, you pray for the winning score. How swiftly the game seems to draw to an end and the final whistle blows. Victor and Vanquished file through the gates, parting as friendly foes. In memory will we keep these hours that are whirled away too soon— A jewel set in our chain of days is this Saturday afternoon. Make the most of such days—be carefree. Youth; little longer shall you play. For the Gods of War are mounting up a debt which you must pay. —Hoyt Shields, Webster First Place, Literary Contest, 1945 J a{ailu dliterary -Society Kalailu has two distinctions among the clubs of East. It is the oldest club in East High, and the only boy and girl club at East. The object of Kalailu is to create a greater interest in literary work, to further the study of parliamentary law, and to encourage a finer spirit of friendship among the members. It's motto is Vera Amicitia omnia vincit or True friendship conquers all. Social events of the year include the intersociety dance, rush parties, the Kalailu Ball, and the literary contest which is the outstanding event of the year.

The purpose of the club is to bring together a group of boys who wish to further their literary interests, study parli-mentary law, and strengthen their ties with other boys. The club engages in social activities such as chili suppers, the Inter-Society Dance, the Literary contest, and the annual sunrise breakfast at Swope Park with their sister club. the Leundians. The Ham-Leundis Picnic, the final club activity of the year, is also held at Swope Park. The club is named from the great American statesman Alexandei Hamilton. It has been said, To compete with Hamilton on paper you are at a loss. The club colors are blue and white. Miss Virginia Welch is the Hamilton sponsor this year. 82 First Semester Beverly Henson......................... -........President------------ Jane Coffey............-.......................

Its main purpose is the promotion of higher ideals in literature and the social life of the school and the cultivation of a taste for the finer things of life. The name Eulexia was chosen because its meaning is well-read and it signifies literary ability. Among the social events of the year are rush teas, pot luck suppers, song practices and picnics. The most cherished event for the members is their annual Founders Day banquet and ball. It was held at the Hotel Continental this year on the second of December. The club sponsor, Mr. Day, is the first man to serve as sponsor of the club. Back Row—Baker, Williams, Lowery, Wilson, Helen Glad, Swartz, Hector, Kamm, Klopfenstine.

Its purpose is to bring about a closer and more understanding knowledge of literary work and to promote better fellowship between its members. The Websters were organized under the leadership of Mr. James N. Curtis and later under the co- leadership of Miss Vee Flinn. The club is named for immortal Daniel Webster, one of our country's greatest orators. Black, gold, and crimson are the Webster colors. Last year the Websters won first place in the Literary Contest. 84 The Kalailu Literary Society, established in October, 1926, is the oldest club at East High School and also the only boy and girl organization. Kalailu is a Hawaiian word meaning friendship and the motto, True friendship conquers all. The society's colors are red and white and the flower is the red rose. The Leundis Literary Society was organized November 8, 1926. It was the first all-girl club established at East. The club's purpose is to give it's members an opportunity to meet and pursue social and literary interests and inspire them with higher ideals. The name Leundis is derived from the three words LEarning, UNderstanding, Discernment. The society's colors are rose and grey and the sweet pea is the flower. The Hamilton Literary Society, the first allboy club to be organized at East, was formed in 1928. Its purpose is to promote good fellowship and a finer feeling for the literary arts. The club name was chosen in honor of Alexander Hamilton, brilliant American statesman. The society's colors are blue and white and the Leundis Literary Society is the sister club of the Hamiltons. The Eulexia Literary Society was organized in December, 1928, the second all-girl club at East. Its objectives are the encouragement of original writing and the promotion of a greater appreciation of good literature. The letters in Eulexia stand for certain ideals: Earnestness; Understanding,- Leadership; Ex- CLL cellency; X-traordinary; deal girl; Ability. The club's colors are pink and blue and the flower is the delphinium. The Webster Literary Society, organized in 1937 is the youngest club at East. The first objective is to promote literature and the second is to establish higher types of social activities. This all-boy organization was named in honor of Daniel Webster, the great orator. The club's colors are black, gold, and crimson and the Eulexia Literary Society is their sister club. The highlight of the year for all the societies is the Literary Contest, with rousing slam songs and cactus-like compliments. The contest is followed by the annual slumber parties and the sun-rise breakfasts. The Inter-society dance is another event looked forward to by club members. The boys clubs eagerly await the test of athletic ability in the Ham-Webster football game. The opening weeks of October and January are filled with excitement for eager rushees. The various clubs give potlucks, slumber parties, chili suppers, and rush teas. The first of December finds the Eulexians preparing for their annual Founder's Day Banquet and Ball. This year for the first time the Leundians had a ball which they plan to make a yearly event. Both clubs held their dances in attractive ball rooms, amid the swish of gay formals, and to the music of popular tunes. It's fun to be in a club, but it's also considered an honor and a responsibility. 85 cJCiteraru C c .on test The nineteenth annual Literary Contest held on the evening of April 20, 1945, resulted in a first place tie between Hamilton and Leundis, brother and sister clubs. The tie score was based on ten points each for the winners, with Eulexia finishing in the runner up position with eight points.

This year the club adopted an emblem made in the colors of the club, red and yellow. A new constitution was written and adopted. The two social events of the year were the Christmas Fiesta, December 8, and the Spring Fiesta at Swope Park. The Spanish influence was shown in both events in the foods, games and songs.

The house was sold out for the two nights planned, and because the demand for tickets was so great, it was decided to hold the show a third night, the proceeds of which went to the Red Cross. As the houselights dimmed and the final strains of the Chattanooga Choo Choo were heard the sound of a train just pulling in reached the ears of the hushed expectant audience. When the curtains were pulled, a busy, bustling crowd was seen at the East High Union Station. An appeal was made for the Red Cross and it was announced that there were some stars from Hollywood who would perform. A peppy tap number was given followed by a beautiful vocal number, There Goes That Song Again. Onto the stage danced a group of girls with high top hats to the tune of Darktown Strutters Ball. A soldier in the crowd seemed to be greatly disturbed as his brief case, which contained vital military information, had been stolen. The last of the passengers were some hillbillies who entertained the audience as the red curtains were closed. When the curtains were opened waltzers danced onto the stage and as the music stopped the couples turned and made a semi-circle around the soldier who had just returned from war. He told about his mysterious dream. The dream became a reality as the curtains were drawn and two ow yriumfyni fairies appeared in shining white and silver costumes, and opened the curtain so that a lovely gowned girl could sing; then, the fairies danced to the sides and then out again to open the curtains to reveal an ensemble of girls in pastel formals. The soloist sang, Alice Blue Gown and the chorus gave their interpretation of You're Lovely To Look At. A graceful ballet number was given followed by a cornet solo. A toe dance ensued and then a guitar solo. Taps was played as the first officer stepped under the arch, followed by members of the khaki uniformed R.O.T.C. who performed. The fairies closed the curtain on the dream. In front of the curtain two Japanese spies were heard talking in hurried whispers. One spy wanted to get the important papers from the pocket of the army officer. Both spies ran off the stage pursued by a policeman who fired several shots at them. In front of the curtain, one frightened fellow made his way across the stage asking, Want to buy a flower? His companion had a lost expression and called, Where's Elmer? Two Negroes gave their interpretation of that old favorite Old Man River, fol-lowed by a snappy tap solo. A song was next and a group of girls danced to The Little Dutch Girl On a Little Blue Plate. A trio sang Don't Fence Me In. The fashionable, luxurious Four Hundred club was the scene of the rehearsals of the frightened rushees, watched by three of the old members of the club. A vivacious Rus- 97 sian group sang the hearty old Russian gypsy song, Dance, My Comrades. In contrast with this old world number were the pigtails and pinafores, knee pants, and bow ties of the School Days song and dance. A touch of oriental Asia was given by the lovely, exotic snake dance by a beautiful harem girl. The talented rushees then gave an out of this world rendition of that jive song, Accent-chu-ate The Positive with a jitterbug dance. A wonderful imitation of Bonnie Baker and her famous song Oh Johnny was received with stupendous applause. How does she do it, the audience wondered at an able and energetic acrobatic solo. A line of girls formed a patriotic V and sang Corns For My Country. The audience cheered as a golden-throated songstress crooned, I'm Gonna See My Baby. Back to pinafores and overalls for a good old fashioned square dance. Skip To My Lou was given amid clapping hands and dancing feet. Then came the soft strains of Mendelssohn's Spring Song from the orchestra pit as graceful ballet girls in tulle skirts and tiny slippers danced onto the stage. Doing graceful turns and leaps and taking tiny steps, the butterfly flew around the stage followed by the line. A very unusual number was the tap dance done to the orchestra's strains of Crosstown. Soft, Spanish music, gay senoritas, a dimly lit cafe—these furnished the atmosphere for the Spanish scene. Some of the passengers from the train visited a small Spanish restaurant for food and entertainment between trains. An accordion solo was played, after which a castanet number appeared. One darkeyed senorita danced and sang to Down Argentina Way. At this time the girls seemed to have some difficulty with their dates, who seemed inclined to take the words of the song literally. Following the flirtatious miss's number another talented lady gave a Spanish tap to the accompaniment of her castanets. The curtain closed on the scene and before the curtain the soldier who had lost his brief case retold how he had been attacked by Japanese spies who had stolen from him some important papers, containing the key to the information in the case. The curtain once more opened, disclosing a streamlined train. The passengers entering the train presented a varied lot; the hillbillies, much enriched by gambling ventures while visiting the big city; the colored men; the college girls, much awed by their visit; the WAVE and her soldier boy-friend; the mother still having trouble with her young son; the soldier and his friends, happy because his papers had been recovered and he could continue his trip to Washington; and finally a gaily dressed troup of dancers who sang and gave a live tap to Meet Me In St. Louis. As the last of the dancers entered the train it slowly pulled away from the station, leaving behind it waving friends and a happy appreciative audience. 98 Back Row- Rogers, Richard Kudart, O'Neal, Robinson, McCrory, Lilburn Tice, Neese, Duncan, Wittram, Donald Lazenby.

Ryder, is one of the most appreciated groups in the entire school. The orchestra plays opening music for nearly all assemblies. Among other activities in which they participate are the senior assembly. Honor Society assembly and commencement. This group has a very large share in the Outburst, as it accompanies nearly all the musical numbers. Many hours of practice and patience are needed in preparing for these assignments. The Orchestra spends much time practicing symphonies and overtures as a means of broadening it's musical experience and appreciation. Max Robinson.... Bill Hyland.....

His sense of humor and the interesting manner in which he conducts his classes account for the large numbers of students who enroll in these organizations each year. 101 In the top picture. Echo issue editors are in the process of making a dummy which will be sent to the printer, who adjusts his type to the pattern indicated and sets his presses rolling on the final run. The Eastonian art staff is busily engaged with mounting pictures for Eastonian pages in the second picture. These mounted cards will be sent to the engraver who makes a plate from which the final impressions will appear in the yearbook. A very busy business staff is pictured in the third photo. To these amateur auditors falls the difficult job of caring for all business matters involving currency which are related to the editing and publishing of the Eastonian. The Eastonian literary staff is grouped about the typewriters in the final picture. Dreaming up the printed material which will appear in the yearbook is their responsibility. 102 For that individual who wishes, more than anything else, to be a reporter or an artist or advertising authority for a commercial publication, the training received in high school is invaluable. Under the guidance of Mr. Garland Nichols, the aspiring journalists learn the fundamentals of the newspaper business, and Miss Crawford's art staff is exposed to the modern methods in which engraving companies transfer a photograph or a drawing to a metal plate from which thousands of printings may be made. Although amateur high school journalists are not forced to observe as strict a deadline or attain the speed of professional reporters, rudiments of the newspaper game are studied and the actual process of printing the Echo are very similar to those used in putting out a large city newspaper with hundreds of thousands of readers. Students learn the history of newspapers. Such names as Franklin, Ochs, Bennett, Pulitzer, Hearst, Nel- son, and Van Anda become as familiar as other great names in history. As they read of the immense scoop which the noted Carr Van Anda handed to the New York Times, at the time of the sinking of the Titanic, they realize the great importance of the accurate and timely record kept by newspaper organizations to keep news events before the public eye. And so, the high school courses keep alive and nurture the hope of the future journalists who will some day handle the nations' news. The Eastonian art staff has learned the importance of illustrations and other forms of art to the publications field. A good per- I centage of the space allotted to newspapers is devoted to illustrations and consequently the field for artists is a good one. High school training may mean the difference between landing a good job and entering a mediocre career in commercial art. 103 THE EAST ECHO The East Echo is the school newspaper published bi-weekly, and written by students of the newswriting classes. The subscription rate is seventy cents per year, or five cents a copy. The Echo is written entirely by the students. There are two semesters of newswriting, the classes meeting in the second and fifth hours. This year the second hour class wrote the paper first semester, while fifth hour studied the fundamentals of news writing. In the second semester the schedule was reversed. The first Echo of the school year, comes out on the first day of school. This copy is given to every student free of charge. In order to have this paper ready for the first day of school, pupils begin working several weeks before school begins. Two issue editors are chosen each time the paper is to be published. They name the assignments and give them to the reporters who want them. In this way a student has an opportunity to write different types of stories and those to his liking. After the assignments are made the stories are written. Sports stories and assembly stories cannot be written until the day of the event; and the student assigned to that story is to be there, and write the story immediately while it is still fresh in his mind. After the stories are written by the pupils, typed and checked; the headline is written and counted. Next the instructor checks the story before it is passed for publishing. When the stories come back from the printer they are on small strips of different colored paper called galley strips. They are numbered by the students and cut to paste on an old copy of the Echo. This is called making the dummy. The next day, the page proof is sent back to be proofread, and corrected if necessary. Among the outstanding stories that appeared in the Echo this year have been that football story with the banner head East Co-Champions With Southeast; East Earns Minute-Man Flag for High Percentage in Bond Sales ' Ray Mais Co-Winner of Notre Dame Trophy; 1945 Outburst Makes All-Time Record; East Tracksters Win Interscholastic League Indoor Championship. This year broadcasts were made by high schools every Monday over radio station KMBC. Every week a different school was given the opportunity to broadcast the most important bits of school news from items sent in by the newswriting classes of the city's secondary schools. Ray Chance and Marilynn Coonrod of fifth hour newswriting class represented East on the broadcast of Monday, January 22. 104 £cko Staff FIRST SEMESTER Back Row—Jacobsen, Roup, Tate, Niess, Hyatt, Shonfelt, George Tice, Murphree, Ashleman.

C aitonian Staff of 1945 The Eastonian staff of 1945 has tried to present to the pupils of East a better yearbook at a minimum cost in order that all may enjoy this publication. Due to wartime restrictions, the staff was unable to secure the type of binding used on previous publications. However, we have attempted to improve the contents of the inside pages for after all, the memories contained herein will be very dear to our hearts in ensuing years. A wise man once said, You can't judge a book by it's cover. The staff has endeavored to cover all phases of activity from the first day of school to The deadline, the highlights being athletics, the Outburst, and the Literary Contest. It was necessary that all events be covered by the news hawks. This was a genuine pleasure as well as an educational undertaking. The reporting or writing staff is composed of members of the 2nd and 5th hour news classes while the Art Staff is taken from the advanced Art class. Their contributions to this year's book speak for themselves in news items and in decoration and arrangement. After the material is obtained it is assembled by a group of editors, headed by Ronald Ryder, Editor-in-chief, and Kenneth Rudeen, literary editor. After the proof is printed and returned to be re-checked and read for errors, the material is reassembled and returned to the printer, for printing. This year's 1945 Eastonian is complete. We trust you will enjoy it through many happy years. To Tost high School r r. . _| -f h r r To East High School.
