A II Gilman Eiatnrg NE day in September, 1913, we first entered East High School as Freshmen. We came running up the stairs with our hearts in our mouths, and I read the large sign, New Pupils to the Auditorium. Then we started: up-stairs, down-stairs, through the halls, to the elevator, everywhere but to the right place we went. No matter where we went we heard, or thought we heard, Flats! Flats! Flats! We finally did reach the Auditorium, and for a while all was well, and while receiving our programs, we began to feel truly grown up, and to acquire the dignity of High School students. Somehow we lived through the first days, and even completed our first semester without more than the ordinary number of mishaps. As we look back we recall the Baby Show as the most important event of that term. When we became D II's, our heads were in the clouds, but I am not sure that our feet were on the ground. We did our part to help the Entertainment Course, and felt proud to think we helped to buy the new piano. Then we were Sophomores! We talked it, we walked it, we sang it, we acted it. That year we learned to draw straight, curved, dotted, squirmy, wiggly lines by the hundreds. That was Geometry! Our teachers told us we must not memorize the propositions, but when we applied the same rule to the theorems, they were not at all sympa- thetic. What a bugbear Caesar was! Always fighting fighting, never getting anywhere so far as we could seeg just Writing words, words for us to translate. The joy of being a Junior! We read reams and reams of O tem- pora! 0 moresf' Incidentally we discovered that we had several orators in our number. During this year we took upon our shoulders the responsibility of governing ourselves. We joined clubs and eagerly took part in spreads and dances. With our own money and some contributed by the Sopho- mores we bought a Pathescope for the school. As Seniors we began the year by organizing our class, electing offi- cers, and, last but not least, collecting dues. We are on the last lap. Stud- ies and amusements vie with one another for our interest. Soon we shall leave East. Some of us will go to college, some will enter work in other fields. Wherever we go we shall try to remember that East High has marked us with her stamp of approval, and do nothing to dishonor her fair name. RUTH A. ROBISHAW, '17. 19
