6 of humor adds to and whose high Ideals stimulate to larger serviced we dedicate tte N 4 ®o last It is twenty years hence, as I write this rhyme, I can see myself in the dying shine Of a fire on my lonesome hearth. As the embers die and slowly grow cold My thoughts fly back to the days of old, To my happiest days ’neath the blue and the gold, When I was young. Some friends I had are dead and gone, The world can’t relive, it must go on; But as it goes on we, too, must progress, And the knowledge we gain is not half we possess Of the treasures of friends we loved and knew In those wonderful days ’neath the gold and the blue When I was young. My earthly fire is fading fast, ’Tis so poorly laid, and not meant to last; But the fire that glows in my heart for you Will last as long as the heaven’s blue, And the dying fire, like the sinking sun, Will glow pure gold—Ah! But still I’m young. s Lovina Wright, ’21. 9 ANNUAL BOARD Wallace Hardie Clara Raymond __ Ralph Williams Chas.

The doorway is little altered, although the stone steps below it are somewhat more hollowed than a half century ago. This old doorway is the threshold of East High School. I never see it without throwing off some forty years and going back to 1916-20 when we, the class of June, 1920, lived within those walls. There was the Monday in September, 1916, when we entered East for the first time. Then came the weeks and months of adjustment. Grad- ually we became a part of the school, a small part at first, but the longer we stayed the more we became imbued with the spirit of East High School. Still the picture remains in my mind of one night during our Sopho- more year when there was held a “Senior-Sophomore Reception.” During our Junior year we “grew up,” so to speak, joining clubs and assuming more social responsibilities than heretofore. It was in the latter half of this year that our class organized. At this time we contributed materially to the success of a bazaar, the proceeds of which were used to buy Victory Bonds, for the school. How clearly they all come back to me, the events of our Senior year! A very momentous question, the design of our class rings, was decided. It was with great pride that each one of us wore his ring, the true symbol of interest in a common cause, East High. Then after four years together we separated and went in different ways, but always there was with us the thought of the banner, “Noblesse Oblige,” and “A consciousness remained that it had left, Deposited upon the silent shore Of memory, images and precious thoughts That shall not die, and cannot be destroyed.” Portia Goulder, ’20. .19 EDMUND K.

Did we make the usual mistakes? Naturally we did, just like the rest of them. Per usual, we were the attraction for the first few weeks and rather enjoyed being made a fuss over. However, we soon settled down, and our first year ended all too soon. By the time we were sophomores we marched right in line with the rest of East High. We held a Sophomore Bazaar, the proceeds of which went to the Scholarship Fund. We showed our spirit by adopting some French orphans. For at this time, as you know, the war was being waged. During our junior year our spirit never slackened a pace. We showed our loyalty both to country and to school by buying Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, and by helping in every possilile way. In our 11A term we organized and held a dance in the Gymnasium. We made a splendid showing in the fund raised for the Marine Hospital. Now that we are seniors, and more in the limelight than before, we are doing our utmost to help our school and to be worthy of dear East High.

A few Campus tablets, even, were scattered throughout the crowd, but most of us, despite all rebukes, cherished vain hopes that our teachers would supply us with all such necessities. After our first hour English class with Miss Hanna we were utterly disillusioned. But in no time at all we caught on to the customs and traditions of the school. How could it be otherwise when almost our very first Friday an auditorium meeting was called to bid farewell to “John Eisenhauer, and present him with the novel gift of an umbrella? (Was it really silk?) Later on we had Rhetoricals or something else every Friday. _ Sometimes, indeed, budding orators would make our ears ring with high-sounding words and nicely-turned phrases. Shall we ever forget Myron Glauber’s “cosmopolitanism” and “cooperation” when he told us about that new venture, a weekly newspaper, “The Blue and Gold”? And every teacher of Freshman English made us look up those two words in the dictionary, aside from our regular library papers. Here endeth Chapter One. Our Sophomore year, Dorothy Blackwood’s curls were still with us. Elly Hart’s feet were growing, but it was little suspected to what lengths they would go. Instead of a general twenty-minute lunch period, devoted to a mad scramble for roast-beef sandwiches, we lunched in shifts, six of them, and leisurely consumed hot dogs at double the former price. But then, the size of the lunch-room had doubled, too. The Baby Show, which had cast threatening shadows over our first year, was forgotten, but a Senior-Sophomore Reception made up for the oversight quite efficiently. On April 6, 1917, war was declared. For that period of time the history of our class must be devoted to a summary of war activities, Red Cross work, the sale of Smilage Books, the collection of books for soldier libraries, selling Thrift Stamps, and the purchase of Liberty Bonds in sums of thousands of dollars. About that time the classic aria, “East has lost her spirit,” was being rolled back and forth among the returning alumni. It ruffled us a bit, but our confidence in our school, our class- mates and ourselves reassured our troubled thoughts and shaken faith. Let us proceed to Chapter Three. Our Junior year brought the omnipresent Junior High to our doors. For a while we stumbled all over them, but eventually, with the aid of traffic regulations, we contrived to avoid disastrous encounters. Our real attention, though, was centered upon the Pageant. There were only two or three of us in the cast, so we could appreciate the fineness of the production from a critical standpoint. Besides, it must be admitted that we enjoyed being excused from Oratory the greater part of the term on its account. And now for the last lap and conclusion. After having finally succeeded in growing up our third year we proceeded to grow down as Seniors. Drop-the-handkerchief, jack-stones, fox-and-geese typified our recreation. Escaping hall police, also, fur- nished us with some amusement. But things began to wake up. Our winning football team with Elly, Stew, Red, and Captain Bud to represent us, surpassed all ancient glory. Friday afternoon dances made our grad- uates gasp in amazement. In addition, the publishing of an Annual and the presentation of an Annual Play denote a grand revival. Although ancestor, or rather alumni worship, has never been noticeable in our make-up, we seem to be turning back the leaves quite successfully. Albeit, the passing of Miss Hanna, Miss Kelly and Mr. Findley rather threw us out of our ele- ment ; we thereby obtained some relief, and we seemed to survive quite suc- cessfully. We may not be affected by changes in faculty, but when it comes to change of hours, schedules, and when, as a climax, the report cards are bleached from yellow to white, the class and room numbers utterly changed, Commencement came as a relief. 45 E.

Juniors, we can look back with a reminiscent smile to our first day at East High, and the trials and pleasures of our Freshman and Sophomore years. On that fated day of long ago, when we first crossed the threshold of our Alma Mater, there was no smile upon our faces, but only an expression of bewilderment, with frequent attempts to seem carefree. Can we not still see the row of Sophomores standing at the auditorium door, kindly (?) giving directions as to its whereabouts? The day, however, came to an end, as all days have a way of doing, and we found ourselves organized as a class. We also discovered that ‘‘every cloud has a silver lining,” for in spite of being flats we had the honor of being pupils of East, and we hastened to prove our loyalty. This was first shown in the Red Cross Drive, in which we collected the most subscriptions. Then, one day, sitting in our obscure seats in the auditorium, we thought we saw members of our class upon the stage, that place sacred to Seniors. We had to pinch ourselves for fear it was a dream, but no, they were certainly there, receiving honors for winning in the skating races. The next September a band of very important personages entered the building. No, not Seniors, but our class who were now Sophomores. We had just got nicely started along with the steam-shovel at the back of the building when the flu came and, much to our sorrow, gave us a five weeks’ vacation. We returned, anxious again to translate Caesar and prove that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Spring came, and with it the opening of the new gymnasium. Like a veritable whirlwind the summer passed, and we returned as Juniors to a school overflowing with spirit and pep. Our champion football was a great source of interest, and we enjoyed the enthusiastic rallies, the East Tech-East, especially from our seats near the front. Again our class won honors in skating, though this time we had no trouble in believing our eyes. Thus have three happy years been spent, and the all-important Senior year looms before us, bright with the possibilities of achievement and success.

Ill (ElasB Ijtstag ON a cold, wintry day, early in 1918, I entered East High School for the first time, and after much hunting around, aided by some kind and gentle seniors, I finally found Room 82, where most of my classmates were already assembled. To my surprise I noted that the room was quite similar to a grammar school room, with the exception that the inkwells were of a different shape than those we had formerly used. Under the supervision of Miss Bennett we decided upon our courses and went home feeling much enlightened. The term passed rather rapidly while we were trying to get accus- tomed to East High, and the upper classes also seemed too busy to spend much time torturing us. The fall term had hardly begun when we were all filled with appre- hension by the announcement about the Freshman Mixer, which was to be held in the Library, for this seemed to us to be a plot on the part of the upper classmen to make up for their failure to haze us the previous term. However, we were quite mistaken, for we really derived some benefits from it, such as learning some of the cheers, and getting better acquainted with some of the other students. Nevertheless, we didn’t have a great deal of spirit in us, and also because of the effect of the “flu” on football we saw very little of the team. When February arrived the majority of the former Freshman class was ready to enjoy the pleasures of studying Caesar and geometry, and of being members of the all-wise Sophomore class. At this time military drill entered into our innocent lives, and, moreover, it succeeded in taking all of the joy out of life. Likewise we were greatly displeased at still being forced to stay in school until half past three because of the shift plan, but otherwise the term passed pleasantly. When we returned to begin the following term we were greatly pleased at the thought of getting out at half past twelve, but we surely did hate to get up in the morning. Being supplied with a great amount of spirit, most of us went out to see all of the games (on the East side), and we were well rewarded for our support by the splendid achievements of the team. A few of us were fortunate enough to be appointed to the distinguished position of hall police, but it proved to be a busy position on the first floor, where the Junior High is located. At last we have become Juniors, from which lofty height we look down with disdain upon the Sophs and Freshies. Previously we were only onlookers in the scene of activities, but from now on we, too, shall be called upon to make sacrifices and to accomplish something for Old East High. til 11B CLASS Arnstein, Dorothy_____ Bailey, Martha________ Barr, Clyde___________ Bateman, Madaline_____ Bejeck, Harold________ Benfield, Grace_______ Bolmeyer, Marion______ Boyd, Vera____________ Bristol, John_________ Canty, Alan___________ Carran, Gertrude______ Champney, Horace______ Clements, Karl________ Collins, Richard______ Corlett, Allen________ Coyne, Loretta________ Crawford, Lillian_____ Davis, Norman_________ Dorer, Leila__________ Dowling, Virginia_____ Dylzinski, Walter_____ Dyer, Sydney---------- Eckert, Dorothy_______ Ehstrom, Valborg______ Ehrke, Raymond________ Einstein, Paul________ Friedman, Pearl_______ Goodman, Gertrude_____ Govel, Elmer__________ Guinness, Marion______ Hackenburg, Phyllis___ Hart, Alice___________ Harter, Reginald______ Heflich, Gerome_______ Heringhaus, Lawrence Higley, Charles_______ Horn, Wilbur__________ Hough, Carlton________ Hungerford, Altha Jaroszyuska, Jennie Joseph, Frank_________ Kaighlin, Helen------- Klein, Jerome--------- Klein, Sherman________ Koplovitz, Annetta Lamden, Frances_______ Lauster, Edward_______ Larson, Mildred_______ Lee, Carolyn --------- Luff, Robert__________ Macauley, Mabel------- Magaw, John----------- Marsh, Josephine------ Mastandrea, Joseph _ McGovern, Earl-------- Mendelsohn, Emanuel Miles, Nadine--------- Morey, Courtland______ Moyer, Meriam_________ Newcomb, Robert------- Newman, Edward — 1575 East 115th St. _1850 East 86th St. „1351 East 97th St. _1422 East 80th St. „1103 East 79th St. _7605 Linwood Ave. __1400 East 80th St. _1890 East 97th St. __5706 Luther Ave. „1423 East 88th St. „2075 East 81st St. „6309 Whittier Ave. _1831 East 63rd St. „1928 East 97th St. ____9723 Logan Ct. „1844 East 73rd St. .„1435 East 85th St. .2134 East 100th St. „1864 East 86th St .8514 Carnegie Ave „„8011 Pulaski Ave. __7607 Redell Ave. „7617 Linwood Ave. ,__1187 Addison Rd. „5808 Whittier Ave. „1925 East 84th St. ____7602 Home Ct. „„1148 East 71st St. __9400 Hough Ave. „1392 East 59th St. „„1616 East 93rd St. „2092 East 100th St. .„2025 East 77th St. „1646 Holyrood Rd. ___1800 East 93rd St. .„„1339 East 105th St. ___1725 East 70th St. ____9105 Cedar Ave. ___1149 East 77th St. .„„1689 East 105th St. ___1699 East 86th St. „„„1870 East 101st St. __ 10628 Ashbury Ave. ___1581 East 85th St. „„7612 Sagamore Ave. „„„1058 East 64th St. 7805 Whitethorn Ave. _______1596 Ansel Rd. ___2201 East 84th St. ____11500 Euclid Ave. „„„1726 East 84th St ___1413 East 94th St. „„12300 Mayfield Rd. ____8311 Decker Ave. ___2196 East 87th St. „„„1689 East 85th St. ___12412 Phillips Ave. ____8015 Euclid Ave. „„„1674 East 82nd St. ___1629 Crawford Rd.

However, the seniors were not the only ones who were disappointed when this class entered as second year pupils, for the class itself was disappointed when it learned that it would have to attend Junior High another year. The 10A class seemed to be “out of luck,” as we might say, for through all the eight years of grammar school we had all been looking forward to graduation with the greatest pleasure. Then when we got within one-half year of graduation we found that this form of promotion to high school had been done away with. And then, to add to this disappointment, we found that we must stay at Junior High another year. But the year soon passed, and at last we found ourselves within East High’s walls. We had very little difficulty in finding our respective class rooms, for they were numbered with much larger figures than the dainty little ones above the doors now. We enjoyed the East High spirit and pep and joined the upper class- men in rooting at the football games. The long assignments we received were very different from what we had been having, but we had to become accustomed to them. By this time, though, we feel that we belong to East High just as much as we would had we spent the ninth grade here, and we have one consolation in knowing that we were never flats. 65 Elizabeth

We were just “flats” then and, well can you blame us for arguing to see who should be the first to open the door that meant four years of toil and labor? Finally, after much persuasion, we held both the doors wide open and stepped over the threshold of East High School. We found it wasn’t so bad, after all, and we gayfully trotted up to the Auditorium. But we found it wasn’t as gay as it looked. First we were sent to the fourth floor, then to the first, then to the Lunch room. Finally we found the Auditorium. We had heard all about this wonderful large room, as one would call it, but our imaginations were not broad enough to picture it as it was. We then decided it was “some school”! Finally we became used to the idea of being called “flats” and “flat- lets,” and soon we were settled down. Then we started to enjoy the sports of the school, especially the basketball games, just like the “big ones.” By “big ones” I mean our beloved Juniors and Seniors. We were 9A’s before long. No longer flats, but Freshmen! Those were the happy days. Soon football season came, and most of us took in all the games, even though we were Freshmen. Soon this term was nearing an end, and before we knew it we were no longer 9A’s, but fullfledged sophomores, lOB’s, if you like, and mighty proud of it.

But we were slow in getting acquainted, until along came our first oral theme. I don’t know anything that makes us friendly toward each other more quickly than an oral theme. Somewhat later I obtained a seat at one of the lunch tables, and as the tables and seats were all filled several girls had to stand. I chanced to hear one older girl say, “Oh, these ‘Flats’ always get all the tables!” I don’t know where those older boys and girls ever found that word “Flat” and applied it to us ninth grade pupils, but I’m sure that they didn’t learn it in their English class, at least that isn’t what we learn in our class. Daniel Webster says that flat means a level piece of land or a mark in music. I don’t feel as if I’m either of these, so surely it must be a case of mistaken identity. Therefore, I’ve made a secret resolution, and don’t you tell anybody; I hereby resolve never to call any pupil a “Flat,” even after I have reached the dignified position of a Sophomore or Junior. If Webster doesn’t give a definition of “Flat” suitable to us I’m sure it is not in the English language.

The beautiful sun was concealed from view by this spacious brick building. It gave one a lonely, forsaken feeling to pass through the long, dark halls. The rooms were almost impossible to find. The program cards seemed to be made out in such a way as to present a puzzle. The orders given were forever being disobeyed, but not intentionally. All this was new. Every one was going somewhere, and all were unconcerned about the little “flats,” not caring whether they found their destination. The seniors were delighted to see the greenness of us. On this day, in our hearts, we resolved we would not ignore the poor little flat when we should become seniors. Dolores Wise, ’24. 01 flucUa?

Then, as we became sophomores and juniors, we learned that some day, when our knowledge had increased and we, in turn, bore the name of seniors, we would be admitted into the society. So, eager to know what was in store for us, we timidly inquired the meaning and purpose of the Athenaeum club. We learned that membership is based partly on scholar- ship and partly on popularity; that its name is derived from Athene, the Greek goddess of arts and sciences; that the club wants girls who are full of “pep” and enthusiasm, ready and willing to work. Now, at last, we were seniors. After three patient years of waiting we could attempt membership in the Athenaeum. One morning we found most attractive looking pink envelopes in our desks. At first sight we took them for perfumed billets-doux. But, horror of horrors, when we opened them and saw their contents! There, confronting us, was an exceedingly skinny, fleshless skeleton with the terrifying word, short but imperative, “Beware!” How our hearts did beat! Then came the great day, initiation. With our pride in our pockets, we dignified, world-conquering A Ps gracefully sped through the halls of East High with a knot on our foreheads similar to the headlight of a loco- motive. Many of our classmates became dizzy looking at us as we had donned our middies backwards. As a final adornment we carried our knowledge-containers in a bushel basket. The day was growing shorter and shorter, our gloom and fear were constantly increasing. Now our hour had struck! Now we were initiated! Now we had at last received our final bruises! Now we were members of the Athenseum! On the twelfth of December came the big event, the football banquet. First a dance in the “gym” to insure healthy appetites, and then East’s noble heroes were led into the blue and gold lunch room. According to the cheering and applause which the boys awarded the hostesses the banquet was a royal success, and a truly jolly time was had by all. The term was drawing to a close and, sorrowful at seeing their elders depart, the A Ps gave them a party. Thus ended the many jovial, enter- taining and interesting activities of the Athenseum society until a new term should call into action new members to carry on its worthy aim. Kathryn Thiele, ’20.

Each school is allowed a limited membership of twenty-five. East has a fine record, as it has its maximum membership. In fact so many fellows applied for membership at the beginning of the last two terms that it was necessary for the club to turn down a great many good fellows. This shows, however, that the club has a good reputation and is worth belonging to. Until last September, Amos Parrish, an East graduate, was in charge of East’s Hi-Y. At that time, however, Mr. Parrish found it necessary for him to give up his work with the Hi-Y club. He has been succeeded by Mr. Munds, who has recently returned from service in France. Mr. Munds has done a great deal to help the Hi-Y fellows and to put “pep” and spirit into the club. One of the things he has done is to conduct a short discussion after the meeting in which some of the great problems of life are presented. Last term Raymond Blecher was vice-president and Kenneth Bailey treasurer of the entire Hi-Y. This term Wilson Sherman was elected secretary of the entire organization. The big social event of the year for the East Hi-Y was the sleigh-ride. It was decided that sleighs would be a little slow to an up-and-doing club like the Hi-Y, so, with the aid of some trucks loaned by President Hardie, things were speeded up a bit. The destination was Willoughby where the party had dinner and danced a while. The whole affair was a big success, and “a good time was had by all.” The entire Hi-Y has also had a “father- and-son night” and a “faculty night,” and expects to have a “mother-and- son night” in the near future. The Hi-Y club may safely be said to be the most successful and up- and-doing club at East.

The membership of the club is limited to the boys in the Senior High School. From the first the club made a hit and went off with a bang, and although it was forced to meet away from school it took its place as one of the foremost school literary societies. Finally after giving great aid to the school by furnishing nine of ten speakers in East’s debates, it was officially recognized by the school and became a true East High Club. We meet the seventh and eighth periods every Friday in the Chemistry Room. There, under the faithful guidance of Miss Bennett, we have pledged ourselves to help the school in every possible way, or following the words of the great Emerson, we have hitched our wagon to a star. Two of the debaters on the East-Technical debate were members of the Lincoln Club. The club had a good start again, and it is for us, the undernamed, to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these nineteen boys we take increased devotion to this club for which they strove so hard —that we highly resolve that they shall not have striven in vain—that this institution shall have a continuance of the old spirit—and that this club of boys, by boys, and for boys, shall not perish from East High.

Earl Benninghoff J'TT WAS back in the balmy days of April, 1919, that three hopeful male | students of East High first conceived the idea of forming a club composed of both boys and girls. These students worked hard and finally gathered together a number of boys and girls who chose Miss Kraft as faculty adviser and elected John Murray as president. A constitution was drawn up, certain dues were arranged, and the club met once each week. It was stated that the purpose of the organization was to promote the general welfare of the school by having the students come into contact with each other in a friendly, business-like way. The things that were taken up at the meetings were just like the weather, changeable. It was decided upon to take up literary work, and this was found successful. A name for the club was voted upon, the name, “Strut and Fret,” being selected, and under this name it continued until November, when it was changed to “East Literary Club.” The club at this time began to show signs of life and was becoming known in the school. A dance was held in the new gymnasium, and tickets were given to all who wished to come, It turned out to be a great success. There are many things that are being “cooked” up for the near future, and will be signed “Literary Club.” So, now is the time to join the club that is fast going to the front. The members receive a very fine pin—by paying for it—which they expect to keep as an heirloom and hand it down through generations. Join now and receive a pin, so that some day, when you are a husband or a wife (perhaps) and look at the pin you can say with pride that you were a member of the first boys’ and girls’ club in East High that was a success.

Knapp (Miss Mary Susan Collins ALTHOUGH there have been art clubs before, none have been more practical and beneficial to the school than the Poster Club. The Poster Club is East’s youngest club. As its name implies, this organization’s greatest work is its posters. Last term over a hundred posters were made. If you’re from Missouri, maybe this list will help you convince yourself. Posters have been made for all doings at East, including all football and basketball games, swim- ming, debates, Senior-Sophomore Reception, Friendship Club, “The Dansante,” for the “Annual” and “Blue and Gold,” and such campaigns as “Better English,” “Better Attendance,” “Safety-first,” “Clean-up” and the Junior High “Better Health” campaign. A few outside posters have also been made, including community center, and some submitted for a Poster contest. A number of posters-and sigp boards were made for the annual play. Posters were made for the minstrel show. Although the poster work has been hampered a great deal this term because no room can be had for meetings or making posters until after the ninth period, there will have been over a hundred posters made when the term ends. Many drawings in the Annual are by members of the Poster Club. The future is the main thing. Will there be a Poster Club next year? There will be! In the first place, the future of any organization depends upon its past and present reputation. It would seem, then, that the Poster Club is surely due for a bright future. Then, too, there will be an extra art teacher next year. This will make it possible to have a room for work after the sixth period.

(girls’ (glrr GIlub THE Girls’ Glee Club was formed after much deliberation and careful work on the part of their instructor, Mr. Davis. There being so many applicants for membership, it was hard to decide how many should form the club. So to abbreviate matters, it was decided to select the best voices for the club. When this was done we formed a club of forty-three members. This club has become very popular, owing to the fine work done the previous year. The boys and girls rehearse together, which makes the work very interesting indeed. Mr. Davis is a fine leader, and what he does not know about music would not make a primer; we all love him and appreciate the wonderful privilege and opportunity we have in being able to have him as our instructor. A very lovely dance was given by the club on Dec. 20th at Conklins’ Dance Shoppe atop Cedar Hill. The girls and boys appearing in their best bib and tucker, together with their joyful faces and youthful remarks made, made an event long to be remembered. Mr. Davis and Miss Brack were the chaperons on this occasion and proved their efficiency by sending all the members safely home before the wee hours of morning. We must not overlook the fact that some of the girls sang to our football boys, at the Senior-Sophomore Reception, to the delight of all present, their inspiring songs, which helped to win the East-East Tech game.

So one fair day, last June, an ambitious group of young Carusos cornered Mr. Davis in his sanctuary, the music room, and said, “We have here twenty-five men with voices strong and true, and we wish to form a glee club.” After the organization it was decided to adjourn until the new term began in September. At the first meeting of the new term it was decided that the club give a minstrel show. This was not received with so much enthusiasm until it was announced that the combined girls’ and boys’ clubs were to give the show. This meant- meeting with the girls eighth and ninth hour every Tuesday. After the fellows learned this the pep they showed in supporting the minstrel idea was wonderful. It was first decided to hold the entertainment in February, but on account of the annual play it was postponed. The date was then set for April 30. The end-men selected were: John Keffer, George Sturte- vant, Harry Beeman and Paul Hexter. The girl end men picked were Babette Devay and Vera Smith. The report of Mr. J. Davis, M. D. (musical director), is, that the bouncing baby, that is, the boys’ glee club, is getting along fine, and in the future it promises to be one of East’s loudest organizations. 103 last Ipgtj ( rrt stra THE 1919-20 East High Orchestra has been a “booming” success, due largely to the competent leadership of Mr. Davis, the persistent efforts of the members, and the splendid support of the school itself. This orchestra is one of the best orchestras East High has ever had, as is proved by several concerts which have been given in the auditorium. The orchestra is composed of about fifteen instruments, including violins, piano, cornet, trombone, clarinet, saxophone and drums. It meets every week on Monday, the eighth and ninth hours, in the music room, under the direction of Mr. Davis, who takes great interest in the success and welfare of it. Among those who deserve individual praise are Ethel Hook, who is known by her smile and “Just a Little Ragtime,” and Herbert Warman, who has played the cornet three years in our orchestra. Another is Hyman Schock, who plays violin in the first chair, and Kenneth Haber, the librarian and Mr. Davis’ able assistant. It has done one duty to the school by playing at the commencement exercises, and also another by playing for the annual play, “It Pays to Advertise.” The members of the orchestra are: Violin Hyman Shock Ben Silverberg Richard Diederick Margaret Ryan Kenneth Haber Dorothy Hahn David Luben Harry Stewart Grace Rudd Earl Benninghoff Thelma Taylor Victor Germ Letitia Hutchison Arthur Smith Clarinet Jim Upstill Cornet Herbert Warman Sadina Jacobson Trombone Taylor Nelson Saxophone Drums Norman Hurst Ernest Welker 105 ijr tl|at uirratlra uittty ua atrrugtljrtta our urrura auk aljarprna our aktll. ©ur antagoniai ta our hrlprr.-aurkE. 107 at 1910 Oh!

Indeed, all indications pointed to a stronger team than East had been able to put in the field for several years. Practically the entire 1918 squad, including Fullback and Captain-elect Feldman, Halfbacks Cook and Hart, Quarterback Barlow, Center Blecher, Guards Seaman, Moss and Toland, Tackles Noble and Beach, and Ends Zivoder and George Ehrke, were back in school and reported for practice at the beginning of the term. Besides these men, Guard Heller of the 1916 eleven, Halfback Ray Ehrke of the 1917 squad, and Sturtevant, a lineman from Central, turned out. Then there were Waldorf, Meyers, Prather, Bailey, Chambers and Mills, who had had no experience in scholastic football, but who afterwards proved of great help to the team. With this large group of excellent material to choose from, everything seemed to favor East for first place in the scholastic race. East opened the season on September 27 by playing Cleveland Heights on their field. Although Heights put up a good fight and prevented our heavy backs from scoring during the second half, we won 13—0. The Ehrke brothers and Feldman starred in this game. The following Saturday, East journeyed to West Tech field and wal- loped Lincoln 20—0 in the first senate game of the season. As Lincoln was considered at this time to be a title contender, the result was very favorable, especially as it was obtained without the services of Captain Feldman. Several new men were given an opportunity to show their abil- ity late in the game. Ray Ehrke, Seaman, Noble, and Cook were the bright lights against Lincoln. The next week the East warriors, still gathering impetus, met Glen- ville in a drizzling rain on Shaw field and slipped and slid to a 32—0 victory. The game was featured by a ninety-five-yard run for a touch- down by Ray Ehrke. Hart also showed up well, gathering twenty of East’s thirty-two points. Although we conquered, our losses almost over- balanced the success, as Ray Ehrke and Zivoder were injured so severely as to prevent their playing again during the season. Every newspaper in Cleveland predicted an East Tech, victory. In- juries necessitated lineup changes. We were the underdogs in every one’s eyes but ours. A spirit of optimism, momentarily checked by our loss the preceding week, was continually growing. Pat Hayes told us at the biggest rally in years that we could not lose, that East spirit wmuld conquer. He told us that while Tech’s team was not to be belittled, Tech lacked some- thing which East had, namely, East spirit. With that speech in mind our men went upon the field October 18, not merely resolved to do their best, nor better than their best, but to WIN. A record-breaking crowd had assembled, prepared to shed tears at the slaughter of Bud Feldman’s team. The officials and captains conferred, the whistle blew, but the tears never flowed. A few minutes after we kicked off, and when well into our territory, Tech fumbled. East proceeded to Tech’s thirty-yard line and punted. After a near-safety, due to a bad pass, Tech punted. By line plunges we scored a touchdown, Feldman carrying the ball over. Hart kicked goal. East had drawn first blood. Soon after the beginning of the second period Tech made a touchdown, not losing the ball after our second kick-off. Goal was failed. Later, Heller recovered a Tech fumble, gaining ten yards. East continued to advance, Buddie again crossing the line. He fumbled, however, after crossing, but Noble recovered for a touchdown. Hart kicked goal. The score-board showed East 14, Tech 6. Tech threatened twice in the second half, but East held. Some indication of the way East fought is given by the fact that only one substitute was necessary. It may be said to the credit of Tech that before each of our touchdowns they held three times within their two-yard line. Over-confident because of this victory and because of newspaper fore- casts we met Shaw, whom Tech had defeated 45—0. Punch was lacking and, showing a complete reversal of form, we were held to a scoreless tie. The team did not “come to” until the first half was nearly over. They then, began a march toward Shaw’s goal, but were stopped by the whistle. ill Ol Jl TiritN TO CROW? They attempted to start this drive anew in the third quarter, but Shaw held. The East Clevelanders made a desperate effort to score in the final period, but East held in turn. Prather did some fine open field running in this game. Recovering from this disheartening result, East met Longwood, November 1, on West Tech field and won 16—0. The rain, the sloppy condition of the field and the fact that several men were being “saved” for the game with University School, kept the score down. Hart and Prather were our stars. For two weeks notices announcing the meeting of the only undefeated teams in Cleveland had been placed throughout the city. No other im- portant games were scheduled, either in scholastic or collegiate circles. For these reasons great interest was displayed in the result, so great that a larger crowd assembled than that which had witnessed the East Tech game. Great preparations were made at East. A large rally was held under the leadership of Mr. Hogan, Mr. Eisenhauer furnishing much enthusiasm. A rooters’ club was formed for the occasion and marched to the field in a body. Four times East had opportunities to score, but did so only once. Following a fifty-five-yard end run, U. S. scored a touchdown early in the second quarter and kicked goal. Up to this time U. S. had outplayed East. When U. S. kicked off East started a march down the field, but was stopped near the goal as the half ended. A trick play with Noble carrying the ball netted thirty yards as the second half began. East continued to advance, Feldman scoring.- Hart kicked goal. Score 7—7. A twenty-five-yard pass and several new plays once more brought the ball under the goal posts, but, as the quarter ended, U. S. held. East threatened again later in the game, but lacked the necessary punch. We completely outclassed U. S. after the U. S. touchdown and should have won. Our best opportunity was lost in the third quarter when four times we were held on the two-yard line. Our old rivals, Central, who had been playing but mediocre football and were low in standing, were scheduled next. Again over-confident be- cause of newspaper “dope” and because East Tech and U. S. had defeated Central, East did not concede Central a chance. At a dull rally, so differ- ent from ye old-time rallies, we prepared (?) for the game. One of the smallest East crowds that we displayed during the season turned out the morning of November 15 at Shaw field. Before we realized that another team was with us Central had blocked a punt, scored a touchdown and kicked goal. While we were still dazed they placed a drop-kick between our goal posts from the thirty-yard line. Thus the half ended. Somewhat more animated in the last periods, East made a touchdown and kicked goal, but was unable to overcome Central’s early lead. We would have had more opportunity to even up the score, had it not been for the excellent systematic stalling of Central in the later stages of the game. It is a mmmm '4m. C: ? ■tA-' Z’Wj wmmm : ' ' S S - Wm Af Av s jrv, Wmk. 11: noteworthy fact that we have lost to Central for four consecutive years, three games of the four being lost by one field goal. November 22 we met West Tech, outclassing them completely in the last game of the season. Our goal was never threatened, while we scored two touchdowns, one by the aerial route. We should have scored twice more, but were brought back once because of offside, and the second time Tech held. The team showed the best form since the East Tech game. Feldman hit the line for good gains; Noble ran the ends and forward passes; Hart and Prather gained almost at will; the ends caught and intercepted passes; the men in the line charged; in fact, everybody played a fine game. Had it not been for the unhappy result of the Central game, East would have been in undisputed possession of the scholastic championship, as University School lost its last game to Shaw. As it was, we tied East Tech for senate honors and shared the city championship with East Tech and University School. It would seem that East should take precedence of these two, as we defeated Tech and tied U. S.; but not so—we each lost one game. East undoubtedly had a strong combination; neither was she lacking in individual stars. Bailey at left end and George Ehrke at right proved to be able wings for the team; down under punts, catching and intercepting passes, hold- ing their positions on defence. Meyers also developed into a fine end before the close of the season, playing particularly well against Central and West Tech. In Noble, East had a man of two years’ experience, and an undoubtedly strong tackle, as newspaper all-scholastic selections show. The Plain Dealer placed him upon the first team, while the News and the Press gave him honorable mention. Waldorf, although new at the game, soon made his presence felt. He made his debut as tackle and defensive center in the East Tech game, and thereafter was never missing from the lineup. Sturtevant, although new at East, soon fitted into a guard position and played an admirable game throughout the season. In Seaman we had an experienced guard who proved very faithful, playing over thirty quar- ters out of thirty-six. Although we have placed Blecher at quarterback in the line-up, we must discuss him. at center. An experienced player, he was placed at quarterback as an emergency issue and split his time between the posi- tions. He, nevertheless, was chosen all-scholastic center by all three papers. Heller, who fitted in at center when Blecher was at quarterback, but played defensive tackle, was strong in either place. The Plain Dealer 114 placed him at center on the second eleven, while the afternoon papers gave him a berth as tackle on their first teams. Zivoder, who had played end the preceding season, was fast developing into a clever quarterback when injuries forced him from the game. We all regretted his loss from the squad and were delighted to find him able to enter athletics once more by the time the basketball season commenced. Hart proved to be another Old Faithful, playing all but two or three periods. In Ray Ehrke we had excellent material for all-scholastic half- back, but a broken collar-bone compelled his withdrawal early in the season. His fine playing, nevertheless, brought him honorable mention by all three papers. Prather, although new at the game, stepped into Ehrke’s place and played admirable ball the remainder of the season. Feldman was undoubtedly one of the best line-plungers in the city, being the Press’s first choice for fullback, the New’s second choice and receiving honorable mention from the Plain Dealer. Cook proved to be a general utility man, substituting for Feldman, playing halfback or taking his place at guard equally well. Moss also was of help in the guard positions. With Prather, the Ehrke brothers, Bailey and Moss back in school as a nucleus to build upon, East should have a strong eleven in 1920. Ralph Llewellyn Cox. J15 11(? laaketimU Coach, W. W.

When the call for basketball material was sent out the entire 1918-19 team, consisting of Center and Captain-elect Noble; Forwards, Zivoder, Orgel and Wike, and Guards, Feldman and Blecher, reported. Others who turned out were Meyers, Reardon and Bailey of the second squad, and Livingston, who was spending his first year at East. With this group to choose from, everything looked as if East would be on top at the close of the season. The first jolt came January 9 when East, who had had but little practice, was defeated by Longwood in the East gym by a 16—9 score. East led at the half, but could not stand the pace. Zivoder was our star. With a slightly reorganized line-up, East met and conquered West Tech by a 19—6 score. West Tech never had a chance, East leading by a comfortable margin at the half. Livingston and Feldman starred. Out for revenge, with blood in their eyes, the East warriors deter- mined to defeat Central. As Central had ruined our chances for an undisputed football championship, we were bound to wreck their basket- ball hopes. We did! Central not only counted upon defeating us, but upon defeating us by a large margin. But when the game was over the dark cloud, with which Central had hoped to envelop East, had been blown away by the breeze generated by our fighting guards. And while speaking of our guards, we must say that they accomplished against Central some- thing which is rarely done, i. e., prevented this opposition from scoring a field basket. This wonderful brand of guarding enabled us to win by the decisive score of 13—6. South was one of the biggest contenders for the senate crown. By defeating them we could go into first place. The game was, therefore, Feldman graduated before the season was over and, consequently, did not receive a letter. 117 looked forward to with a great deal of interest. But when the fatal night arrived it seemed that our boys had lost the knack of dropping the ball into a certain iron ring. This poor shooting undoubtedly lost the game, but did not prevent a hard fight, as South won out by the scant margin of four points. Feldman starred for East. Recovering from this second defeat, East defeated Glenville on her own floor, 16—12. Glenville’s inability to shoot baskets proved their undoing. Zivoder starred for East. West Commerce was next on the schedule. The game was hard fought, neither team piling up a large lead. East was ahead at the half 4—3 and kept the advantage throughout the game. The final score was 14—11. Livingston and Zivoder starred. As West and South were defeated, East was now a tie for first place. In another closely-contested, hard-fought game we retained our tie for first place by defeating Lincoln, 17—15. The scoring was about even throughout, East being ahead one point when the first half ended. Living- ston and Meyers were large factors in the victory. Zivoder had difficulty in making shots from the floor, but managed to cage seven fouls. The team had planned to enter the tournament at Delaware the following week, but their application was made too late. A game was hastily scheduled with the Central Y. M. C. A. Day School. East won 21—8, Zivoder caging enough fouls to have won on those alone. East was now tied for first place with South and Central, each team having won five games and lost two, with two games to play. East Tech attempted to break that tie as far as we were concerned, being determined to avenge their defeat at football. A record-breaking crowd assembled March 5 to witness the battle between the two rivals. As is customary in East-East Tech games, the contest was full of fight and pep until the final whistle blew. Tech occasioned a scare early in the second half by caging two baskets in rapid succession, but East gradually drew away from them, winning by a 14—9 score. Zivoder alone scored enough points to win. Great interest was shown in the East-West game for two reasons. First, Central had been defeated by Lincoln, leaving only South and East tied. Second, the winner of the game was to be entered in the Berea tournament. The half ended with West ahead 7—6. East came to in the second half, however, and won 16—12. Livingston and Zivoder starred. East left early the following morning for Berea. There, after play- ing the night before and thoroughly tired, they were matched against Lincoln who spilled the “dope” of three weeks previous and won 16—12. The East boys put up a good fight, Noble and Meyers shining in particular. Besides holding his man scoreless, Meyers managed to score two field baskets. The next week the team journeyed to Detroit to play Northwestern, the champions of that city. Here in a very close game East nosed them out 13—12 in an over-time period. Wike substituted for Livingston and scored three of our four field baskets. East closed the season March 24 by playing University School on the U. S. floor. East led throughout the game, although never by a large margin. East was desirous of a play-off for the championship with South, but the game could not be arranged. Noble did well against U. S. 118 For the first time since the founding of the school did East win a basketball championship. As Central was defeated in her last senate game we tied with South for senate honors. We undoubtedly had a very strong combination. Zivoder and Livingston made the best pair of for- wards in the city. Noble succeeded in out,jumping every center who opposed him. As for guards, we were very well fixed. Blecher proved an excellent all-around man. It may also be said that he caged his_ annual field basket, his third in three years. Feldman worked well with him early in the season and Meyers filled the gap ably after Feldman’s graduation.

With Towne, Cooks, Heringhaus and Jennings as a nucleus, the chances for the best swimming team in the city were excellent. Nelson, Matsu, Hester, Stadler and Raymond also turned out and lent their best efforts to the squad. East defeated Shaw in the first meet of the year by a score of 40—28. Nelson scored the most points, being first in the twenty-yard dash and second in the forty-yard dash. University School was the next victim. The feature was the breaking of the interscholastic twenty-five-yard dash record by Taylor Nelson, who clipped one-fifth of a second off the former mark. The final score against U. S. was 43—25. Matsu and Nelson took individual honors, each winning a first and second. The result of the next match brought East another cup. The cham- pionship decided was that of the East Side, East having a margin of fifteen points over her nearest competitor, Shaw. Towne and Nelson were East’s big scorers. It was arranged that in the next meet Case was to compete against a picked team of high school swimmers. Of all Cleveland, only six turned out, and these were from East. Notwithstanding these odds, Case had difficulty in winning, finally finishing ahead by a 35—30 score. If East could have had her entire team present we would have had an excellent opportunity for defeating Case. The city championship was to be decided the following week. Five teams were entered: East, University, Shaw, West Tech and West Uni- EU versify School secured an early lead, but East went ahead on the fancy diving- and remained there. The final scores were: East, 30; University School, 24; Shaw, 21; West Tech, 13; West, 5. The ensuing week East journeyed to Erie to compete with the cham- pions of that city, Central High. In this meet they were not as fortunate as the basketball team was in its game at Detroit, losing by a 39—15 score. This result was totally unexpected, as East had easily defeated all Cleveland teams. Towne was East’s largest point winner. The cups which East won in the East Side and All-Scholastic meets were the first cups ever won by an East High swimming team. Towne and Matsu demonstrated that they were the best divers in the city, winning first and second honors respectively throughout the season. Nelson was excellent in the short dashes, wdiile Cook showed his ability in the longer dashes. Towne and Matsu were our exponents of the breast stroke and Stadler of the back stroke. Heringhaus again proved that blindness was no handicap in the plunge and placed in all meets in which he was entered. Hester w?as likewise entered in the plunge and also in the 100-yd. dash. Raymond proved of help in the shorter dashes. The relay team consisted of Raymond, Nelson, Cooks and Stadler. All in all, considering the fact that they had no coach, the boys had a wonderfully successful season under the able leadership of Student Man- ager John D. Arthur. 122 Bkntmg, FOR the seventh straight time East has won the inter-scholastic skating meet. January 31 they acquired the first leg on the third cup which the Guardian Savings and Trust Co. has presented. Our large number of entries insured success. In eight events we scored six firsts, three seconds, one third and three fourths, securing at least second in all races. The East point winners were: Boys: Freshmen—Chester Rosinski, first Sophomores—John Behm, first; Stewart Strong, fourth Juniors—Edward Harbaugh, first; Chester Wike, fourth Seniors—Frank Hodubski, first Girls: Freshmen—Norma Furtos, first Sophomores—Virginia Thompson, second Juniors—Irma Gaensslen, second; Helen McNulty, third; Lillian Regan, fourth Seniors—Ethel Hook, first; Helen Bulkley, second Jl’3 124 (girls’ laskrttmll ufcam IT may be a surprise to know that a fund is to be raised for a Girls’ Athletic Association. It is surprising to some, but those of us who know what the girls have done this year in athletics, particularly in basketball, know that it is only just and right. One team in particular is to be complimented on its excellent showing. It has withstood the battering attacks of the speedy Junior, Senior and Sophomore teams, and has risen to the top of the list with an absolutely clean slate. This team is the team of the present 11a class. It succeeded in defeating the present 12b’s with a score of 20 to 0, and the 12a’s 10 to 8.

By this change the Cleveland High School Cadets became members of the Reserve Officers’ Training Camp. And, whereas last year the supreme command was vested in Col. Hunt, with commission from the School Board, at present we are under command of Col. Fuller, a regular army man, detailed by the Government. The Colonel is assisted by Capt. Saulkins as executive officer. Major J. F. Landis remained in command at East. As the old Dorothea armory was obtained as headquarters, it was used as a distributing center for uniforms which were issued in the early part of November. The uniforms consist of shoes, spiral puttees, breeches, a shirt, coat or tunic, and hat. No overcoats were issued, and as yet no brown R. 0. T. C. hat cords have been received. The insignia of last year was discarded and a system of round silver buttons substituted: one button for second lieutenant, two for first and three for a captain. It is believed that major’s insignia will consist of one gold diamond. Leather puttees were banned, much to the misfortune of certain “shavetails” who invested their life’s savings in a pair immediately after receiving commissions. In the fall the battalion was organized into six companies, five service and one of military police for use in the halls. The organizations were led by Captains Cox, Co. A; Murray, Co. B; Neff, Co. C; Sampliner, Co. D; Harris, Co. E, and McNamara, Co. F. The first lieutenants were Robishaw, Hexter and Raymond; second lieutenants, Wolpaw, Raish, Welker, Nelson and Boyd. Lynn Waldorf acted as adjutant, Gilbert Halle in charge of supply, Arthur and Nesbitt Kelsey as athletic and gymnasium officers, respectively. No change has been made in the ordnance, the old, wooden drill guns being still in use. Cartridge belts have been issued to all men, and at the present writing it is understood that real rifles of the model Springfield 1903 will be supplied. A full supply of rifles Model 1917 were received at the armory, but were never issued, and are being exchanged for the earlier type. A great deal of good work was accomplished by the organization in the first term, but due to the fact that deep snows have made outside drill practically prohibitive, for the last three months very little real drill work has been done. However, some inside drill, theory and signal work has been done in addition to calesthenics, gym work and basketball. The inter-company basketball games aroused so much company esprit de corps that numerous personal combats resulted from the question of company superiority. This “setting up drill,” marching, basketball, etc., which reaches every man in the organization, should materially aid school athletics, for many men become interested in such work who would otherwise not have considered it. 127 EDITORIAL THIS year at East we have had one of the most serious epidemics that the school has ever known. Never before in our history, which would make Caesar blush with envy, were he still living, have so many students been afflicted with so contagious a disease. We refer now to the epidemic of goloshes. No disease has ravaged our students as this one. Although it was known to exist among the girls in previous years we did not think that our noble-minded brothers would succumb to it. Quite a few of our members have been exhibiting 1920 model, Number 13, f. o. b. Halle’s goloshes upon their pedal extremities. Although a pair of them while on their way to Tomlinson’s look like twin gondolas in a Venetian canal, we will now attempt some feeble arguments in their favor. Before going any farther we wish to state that none of the Faculty were afflicted, although there were some rumors to the contrary. Although we were unable to find a definition in Webster we are told upon reliable authority that goloshes are closely related to a rubber boot. The relationship is that of a very fond young brother. The use of these depends very much upon climatic conditions and upon the state in which you live. A person wearing these down in Pennsylvania would not be a very good risk for an insurance company. We think that many people who appear to scorn them are jealous because they are not made in larger sizes. There are several styles of wearing these, but the one that is in vogue is to wear the bottom hook fastened and the rest any way. Think of what a valuable addition they would make to an orchestra when worn open. They furnish music much like that of a tamborine, and the drummer could wear them and play the drum at the same time. They will be a very useful household article in the summer, for if care is taken and the articles are packed closely they could be made to contain as much as a small-sized trunk. Better buy your moth balls now. Owing to a dispute several of the boys obtained permits from their home room teachers for parking space in the cloak room. When walking in these (if possible) always remember the slogan : “Watch your step.” BOLSHEVISM VS. SPRING FEVER ONCE a year we have to go through a very severe period. It begins usually around the 21st of March and is commonly termed spring. It is then that the revolting spirit pent up for so long breaks loose. Bolshevism reigns, and the slaughter of the innocent grades begins. Spring fever is not a disease, it’s an affliction. Is there any one in school now who was never afflicted with it? No, there isn’t, but all cases don’t have the same amount of spring. Another thing, there is no cure for it, so you have to let Nature take its course. In some cases the course that ms Nature is taking must be a marathon, for we do not get over it until it is almost too late. If the case is of short duration we maintain that it is beneficial to every human being. After it is once out of your systern you are all right, but while you have it . . well, we guess that is all right., too. You have a sort of Shakesperean feeling. “To be, or not to be (in school) ; that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler to be in school,” but why go on? We think that you have the general sentiment. Far be it from us to encourage you to cause an “irregularity in your attendance,” but at least if you do, why not have an original excuse? A splendid article appeared in one of our “Blue and Golds” on originality in lying. Use your own judgment. When the cards go home for the second time in the spring-time a gentle May-day riot is started in every home. Of course there are excep- tions to everything, even report cards. You ask the cause of this Bol- shevik uprising in our mental conditions. It leads us back to the old affliction of “spring fever.” This may be camouflaged quite a bit in home discussions, but when all of the war paint has been removed from the different reasons, it, namely, “spring fever,” is the fundamental cause. All of these are given at home for the betterment of the student’s “eco- nomic condition,” but why not try the “Ask dad, he knows” reason? This is given as a helpful suggestion for freshmen. In one of our former Annuals some one wrote a poem on the different oils used by the different classes. The senior’s held the most significance. It was gasoline, even though it does cost thirty-two cents a gallon. The author of this poem spoke the truth even as you and I. This condition occurs but once a year, and that is in the spring. Cherish these pearls of wisdom beneath your noble brows, ye Bolshevik seniors, and let a word to the wise be sufficient. We have blushingly admitted that spring is a curse in some ways, a blessing in others. We maintain, though, that if a blessing it is very deeply disguised. But do not let this abnormal condition of spring affect your mentality, even though it wanders at times. Be a man for all of that. 129 2 ! £ 1 £ '{■ rt - a c o c - 52, CO K. o - 'w' rt ' o — c - -' • c - 2 - — 0� r. “ — ■° « w « � £ jf cc O 9 - I r' ? t_, CJ t- ' i ■ - c CO ■! O 1.

In these twelve years our boys have won twenty-one Case scholar- ships, nine Adelbert, eight Yale, and six Harvard, a total of forty-four scholarships since 1908. Certain colleges evidently believe that boys who have the ability to achieve in intellectual matters are worthy of encouragement and assist- ance. This assistance has been offered in very tangible form: our boys have won in competitive examinations the generous sum of twenty-one thousand dollars. A dull and uninspiring thing, indeed, is a mere list of names; but here, I warrant you, is a list which will make you, student, thrill with admiration and pride; which will lead you, teacher, to realize anew that your job is the finest on earth; and which will inspire you, youngster, to will and to work that your name, too, may, perhaps, some day shine as a star in the heavens of East’s achievement. These are our scholarship boys:— REPORT OF SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR 1919-1920 Number of students aided, 4. Amount on hand, $4175.53. Of this amount $4100 is invested in Liberty Bonds.

We’ve all gotta write something for the Annual. Miss Blank said so, and Miss Blank’s word is law. Oh, what’ll I write? I’m sitting in the “Aud’toryum” with the wind blowing on my neck, Newman blowing nonsense in one ear, and the basket- ball game in the gym coming into the other. And all the time there runs through my brain like goldfish in a bowl that beautiful, illusive refrain, “Oh, what shall I write?” Ah, breathes there an author with brain so dead that never to him- self has said, “What’ll I write?” We authors have a terrible time. I lift my eyes and gaze upon the inspired countenances of my school- mates. Over in one corner is the table, seating capacity, two, with six hovering about it like “Little Disturbers” around Mr. Disbrow’s desk. In the seats in front of me two bright-eyed innocents are engaged in a quiet little game of tit-tat-toe. Newman continues to blow in my ear, the wind continues to blow on my neck, and the b. b. game continues to make a noise. Between watching the athletic endeavors of the ambitious six trying to sit at a table built for two, watching the expressions of surprise, dis- gust, satisfaction and boredom on the faces of the flappers playing t. t. t., and keeping my ear out of range of Newman’s mouth (I’m afraid he’ll bite it; not his mouth—my ear) I find time every once in a while to wonder, “What shall I write?” Shall I write a comparison between the Horrors of the Inquisition and Military Training? Ah, no, that brings up unpleasant memories. Looie the Fourteenth’s famous words in Cohan’s one-act comedy, “As You Like It,” “A Horse, a Horse, My Kingdom for a Horse,” have nothing on me when it comes to dilemma. We need an idea as bad as he needs a horse. Since I started this tale of woe I have moved my base of operations. I am now in the Library, watching the clock. In front of me, bending close over his ledger and test papers, peering over his glasses at the long columns of mistakes of some innocent blundering Freshie, is Mister Blank, Geometry Teacher, ever looking for the correct answer. Ah, his face lights up, his eyes shine, he seems to be transported to some far isle of bliss. He sharpens his pencil to its finest infinitesimal point, and, with a great flourish, writes a—40. I shiver. I squirm. I am consumed with curiosity. I wonder, and yet subconsciously I surmise, that it is the paper I handed in this very morning. I can’t write about Mr. Blank. I couldn’t do him justice. Maybe Mr. Dante Inferno could. I don’t know. I now have a cold in my neck from the wind at my back, a throbbing in my ear from listening to Newman, a heart-ache from watching Mr. Blank and a pain in my head trying to think of something to write. I think I’ll take carbolic. Oh, what, oh, what shall I write? P. S.—I’ve just counted the words I’ve written. There are 505, so I’ve written something for the Annual. Can you figure out what I’ve written? Neither can I. Frank N. McGehee, ’22. WONDERFUL are the contents of a school-room waste-basket. Let’s begin at the very bottom. It seems that the pencil shavings are in the habit of being in the very bottom of the basket where they can most easily sift through to decorate the floor. There, covering the shavings (that is, the remainder) are the inevitable tiny scraps of paper. (Some one must have been terribly ashamed of himself or maybe of a certain paper.) Hiding behind several sheets of paper is a hard, round ball. (A most uncomfortable position for what was presumably a per- fectly normal sheet of perfection note paper, n’est-m pas?) Why should the owner have made it suffer so? I know curiosity killed the cat, but then women, you know. ... I thought so. Sixty in a Physics’test! I should think the owner would be ashamed of himself! There goes the bell, and I’m not half-way to the top yet! Oh, well. THE WASTE-BASKET Caroline Speser, ’21. 139 THE STORE ACROSS THE WAY There is a store across the way, The busiest store in town; Where all the East High loafers go To eat the wieners brown. This little store across the street, Where many a shekel flies, Supplies them with their candies sweet, And books they all despise. The pretzels are a cent a piece, The wieners are a dime; And cookies, cakes, and other things They buy from time to time. Margaret Bolgiano, ’21. 140 THE WORRIES OF WILLIAM IT was a great occasion in the Halstead home. William, the sixteen- year-old son, was to make his first formal bow in the select society of Glenwood. Now the Halsteads were one of the four hundred of this small town, but certain business difficulties had left them a little short of funds. That is why William had to press his own trousers. A dance was to be given by the Delta Sigma Pi. William had asked a girl, and she was a most wonderful creature. This, William knew for a fact, for no one had such eyes, such teeth or such a complexion. He wondered now, how he had had the courage even to ask her, but that was all over, and the worst was yet to come. He had composed a rhyme about her and was exceedingly proud of it. It ran thus: Your mjm arc blight, Your teeth are white. Your hair, it curls so pretty,. Your cheeks are Wee a big red rose I saw once in the city. His trousers had to be pressed. There was no getting around it. His mother was busy and could not help him, for she also was going to the dance, where she was to be one of the patronesses. Nevertheless, William had confidence in himself. He would do such a job on those trousers as had never been seen before. He got out the ironing board and attached the electric iron. He felt it every once in a while to see if it was getting hot, but much to his surprise the iron did not heat. “Ma, oh, I say, ma,” he called up the stairs. “What under the sun is the matter with the iron? It won’t heat.” “Are you sure you have attached it correctly?” “Yep,” answered William, “sure.” “Did you turn on the electricity?” “Well, I—I think I did.” “You go right down and see, to make sure.” William went. He had not turned on the electricity. He remedied the defect, however, and in due time the iron was hot. “I don’t see why these fool tailors charge such a price for a little job like this,” he thought, as he squeezed the water out of the towel. “Pooh, I can do it just as easy.” He laid the trousers carefully on the board, put the towel over them, and ironed vigorously. He thought of his poem. In a sing-song voice he commenced to repeat: “Your eyes are bright, Your teeth are white.’’ Little did he suspect his small sister Jane was standing by the door taking it all in. By this time he had finished ironing one trouser leg to his satisfac- tion. He held up his work and viewed it with pride. “Now, that’s what I call a rather good job, but what’s wrong here?” He had pressed his trouser leg with the crease down the side instead of down the front. But William was not to be dismayed by such small trifles; he wrung out the cloth, started reciting his rhyme, substituting her name this time: “ ‘Alice, your eyes are white, Your teeth are bright, Your cheeks they curl so pretty.’ “No, no, that’s not right. ‘Youi■ eyes are bright, Your teeth are white. 141 t He corrected himself. His sister again took note. “Well, thank goodness, there is one leg done. Now I will have the other one done before you can say Jack Robinson.” Ah, William, we are sorry for you, but you forgot to press out the first crease. The trouser leg now stands out like a cube. “Well, vvhat d’ ye know about that? But the third time’s a charm.” The third time was a charm, and William had as beautifully pressed trouser leg as any one could wish to see. He started on the other one. “Dear Alice, your teeth are bright, Your eyes are white sang the now jubilant William. He looked dreamily at the wall, he stood still, the iron ceased its motion, he was thinking of “her.” “William Montgomery Halstead!” shrieked his mother down the stairs. “What on earth is burning?” “For Pat’s sake,” said William, lifting a cloth and disclosing a large hole with crisp, brown edges. “My trousers!” Now, who ever heard of a pair of trousers burning right under your nose ? Luckily for William it was Saturday night. His father took Wil- liam’s coat and rushed to the tailors. He procured a pair of trousers that were a reasonbly good match. William went up stairs and arrayed him- self for the fray. He came down shining, immaculate and beautiful to behold, but with a somewhat crestfallen expression. He acknowledged defeat. He realized that he could not press his own trousers. He seized his hat and beat a hasty retreat. As he closed the door he heard his sister sing tantalizingly: “Dear Alice, your eyes are blight, Your teeth are white, Your hair it curls so pretty, Your cheeks are like a big red rose I saiv once in the city. Loretta Coyne, ’21. KEEPING UP APPEARANCES MANY a woman has frozen, just to be stylish. Many a woman has suffered from the heat for the same reason. Why do they do it? is a question asked by every man. No one really knows, but there are even some of the gentle sex who can’t understand, either. Women wear low shoes in the mid-winter and high shoes in bathing in the summer. When going to the beaches in the warm weather they put something which resembles a “white, furry dog,” around their throats. In the winter they would never dream of wearing a coat collar turned up. Fur coats are only in vogue with low shoes and silk stockings. The effect would be spoiled otherwise. There is one thing which has come into style just recently, which our great-great-grandmothers wore (but it was never in fashion), and that is the woolen stocking. Probably the main reason for its popularity is the fact that bright colors are used, otherwise people would think it altogether too sensible. One of the greatest wonders of this world (even barring the Seven Wonders) is the fact that after each cold winter there are women still living in spite of all efforts at self-extermination. Irma Gaenssler, ’21. 142 A CHILD’S REVELATION Ul f A’S upstairs changing her dress,” said the freckle-faced little l girl, as she tied her doll’s bonnet strings. L ▼ “Oh, tell your mother not to dress up for me,” remarked the missionary lady as she settled herself in one of the comfortable chairs in the parlor. “Run up and tell her to come down just as she is, in her every-day clothes.” “Oh, but she hasn’t got on her every-day clothes. Ma was all dressed up in her new brown velvet dress, ’cause she expected Mrs. Jones to call this afternoon. Ma says that Mrs. Jones always comes over when she has something new, so she is going to get even with her this time. Ma and I saw Mrs. Jones buying a new hat yesterday, so ma put on her new dress first thing this morning so she would be ready when Mrs. Jones came. So when ma saw you coming she said, ‘The dickens!’ an’ seemed awfully mad about something. Ma said if you saw her new dress you’d ask her for more money for the heathen. I wish my doll was a heathen!” “Why, you wicked little girl, what do you want a heathen doll for?” inquired the lady, taking a mental inventory of the new things in the parlor. “So folks would send her lots of nice things to wear. I ain’t a wicked girl, either! Ma’ll be down in a minute, so don’t take off your coat. She said she’d box my ears if I asked you to. She’s putting on that old dress she wore last year so you won’t think she could give any more this time. And she says that she needs a new muff worse than any old cannon-ball needs religion. Uncle Jack says that you ought to go to the cannon-ball islands ’cause you’d be safe there. He says he never seen a heathen hungry enough to eat you, unless he was a blind man. Uncle Jack’s awful funny. He makes ma and pa die laughing sometimes.” “Your Uncle John is an evil-minded man. He sets a bad example for a little girl like you.” “I think he’s awfully nice. He showed me how to slide down banis- ters, and now he’s teaching me how to whistle when ma ain’t around. That’s a pretty coat you’ve got on. Do you buy all your clothes with missionary money? Ma says you do.” Just then the freckle-faced little girl’s mother came into the parlor and kissed the missionary lady on the cheek and said how glad she was to see her again. The little girl’s ma can’t understand how a person like the missionary lady could go over to Mrs. Jones’ and say such mean things about her after being so sweet to her face. Dorothy Spangler, ’20. FICKLE YOUTH The freshie girl, With bright red curl And cheeks with dimples, two; The freshie lad. With eyes so sad, Swears he’ll be always true. Another Miss, And, oh, what bliss!— With eyes of deepest blue, But, sad to say, The same old way He sivears he will be true. 143 William Duncan, ’20. 144 THE LESSON FOR TOMORROW IS— HOW many times will every pupil have heard these words, “The lesson for tomorrow is—after he has been graduated from high school? It has been something like this, four times a day, for five days of the week, for nine months of the year and for four years. These few words can and do mean so much. Oh, how sometimes we do wish that our teachers would just forget that sentence once in a while; but no, they never do. Our usual morning greeting, as we enter our class room, is, “The lesson for tomorrow is—” Perhaps it has been overlooked in the begin- ning of the hour; then a wonderful thought comes into your mind; maybe he will forget to give us an assignment. The morning’s lesson has become quite interesting, and the teacher has overlooked tomorrow. Bz—there goes the first bell. With its ringing every one is remarking that no lesson has been given out for tomorrow. Our joys are soon to be ended, as the teacher says, “Your assignment for next time is the problems on page one hundred and seventy-nine. Take all of them.” You fumble for the page, and the second bell rings. Yet you must see how many problems you have to do. When you discover that there are thirty, you are just ready to faint. You manage to get to your next class to hear the assignment there. One can well see that Providence has blessed all teachers with two virtues, namely, a good memory and generosity (that is, generous in giv- ing big assignments). We pupils have also been blessed, but our blessing is work. Doris Wertheimer, ’21. ON PUTTING OFF. WHEN, as freshmen, the dreaded announcement is made to us that before long a theme will be allotted us and every far-sighted pupil will keep the idea in the back of his head and be on the lookout for material, we groan with one accord, explain to our next door neighbor that we never could write and simply can’t do it, and promptly dismiss the matter from our minds as something not necessary to be thought of for some time to come. When, a day or two later, it is announced that our theme has to be in the following Friday, we recall the matter with a start, decide to make a beginning before long, and on Thursday night realize that the last hour of grace is upon us. We resolve to do our other lessons first, have them off our mind, and then settle down to serious work. But serious work is not easily begun at ten o’clock; and when, in the midst of stifling a yawn, mother appears to tell us it is high time we were in bed, we welcome the interruption gladly, obey with unquestion- ing alacrity, and explain with a clear conscience and perfect truthfulness the next day that mother simply wouldn’t let us study last night. We now have three more days given to us in which to write our theme. That gives us a chance to drop the disagreeable subject for the present. The matter is deferred till Sunday night. Towards the end of the following week, under threats of a zero unless the theme is forthcoming immediately, we sit down in desperation and in a half hour before recitation dash off a rapid scrawl, write our name with a flourish, and deposit it with a sigh of relief on our teacher’s desk. Thus, at an early stage we form the habit which clings to us with changeless tenacity throughout our school-life. The idea of never doing today what you can put off till tomorrow predominates in the minds of all normal and healthy high-school pupils. It would be interesting to note the result, if some freshman, who, forewarned, started his course with the firm resolve of never even beginning the practice of “putting off.” It would be interesting to observe whether the habit would stay with him during the remaining three years or whether he, too, would fall into evil ways as time proceeded. Minnie Rolf ’21. 145 OUR AUDITORIUM Dear old auditorium, Within whose spacious walls We’ve had many a happy gathering And countless thrills and thralls; Where oft our hearts have pounded With the spirit of East High, And our voices loud have sounded When our cheers raised up the sky; Would that God could give you speech To tell us all you know, And, oh! what many things you could teach Of the classes that come and go! Your walls are scarred with age and dirt, Your beauty is all gone, And though your heart we often hurt, We love you all along. Charlotte Young, ’21. STUDY PERIOD IS there any one who has never had a study period? If there is, his education has been sadly neglected, poor thing! What a “grand and glorious feelin’ ” it is to have a study period when you haven’t done your home work! But oh, what a dreary outlook there is when you have nothing to do! You go into the room after the second bell, go to your seat and lazily sit down, looking around to see who’s there. No one new, just the same old people, beginning to study. However, you punch the person in front of you and ask some foolish question, just to start a conversation. But she’s busy and pays no attention to you beyond a shake of the head. So you try the people on both sides of you, and the girl behind you. Then, as they seem to have too much to do, you try to catch the eye of some one farther off. Failing in that, you turn your attention to your books. You open one after another and idly turn the pages. Then you look at the clock. Only fifteen minutes gone! Will this dreadful period never end? You yawn, and stretch, and turn around to see what other folk are doing to pass the time. You take some old papers out of your books and and look through them. Then, seeing one of your master- pieces of art, you try to draw some more. But this soon tires you, and you look around again. What is that book that Helen has? It must be the new English book. In sign language you ask, “May I borrow it?” “Oh, yes, of course!” Helen passes it over to you and you begin to read. Quite an interesting book, really. As you read on and on, you lose track of the time. You read and read, hearing nothing, until, at the most tense moment, every one begins to move and you realize that the long-looked-for bell has rung.

Chapter I CHIEF DUTIES OF A TEACHER THE chief duties of a teacher are to prove to the pupil how absolutely ignorant he is and to endeavor to sow those rudiments of knowledge in his gray matter which may at some future time prove useful. All good teachers will be most diligent in carrying out the aforesaid duties. CHIEF DUTIES OF A PUPIL The chief duties of a pupil are to prove to the teacher what an absolutely limitless store of knowledge he has in his possession, to do this with the least possible labor, and to maintain an air of wholesome fun in the office, i. e., to keep the Principal company on rainy afternoons while you explain to him that you weren’t really shooting craps, you were merely the victim of circumstances, or that you didn’t really intend to skip, you merely felt sick, and so you went to the ball game to get some fresh air. THE NECESSITY OF TACTICS With these aims in mind the pupil may well consider himself ready to contend with hard-hearted teachers, but he will find himself materially aided if he will use a few of the simple tactics explained in this manual, adapting them to his own particular case, Ruse 1 Remember, as we have stated before, that the teachers aim to catch you up. If they are successful more than 30% of the time you are failed, an obviously unfair arrangement, as you must be twice as good as they are to escape perdition. A teacher will not call on you if she thinks you know the answer. If you know the answer place your feet in the aisle, slide down on your spine and gaze with your eyes half closed at the ceiling. You will very likely be called upon and receive a good mark. If you don’t know the answer jump around in your seat, wave your hand wildly, look the teacher square in the eye and smile. If this is well done you probably will escape reciting. Ruse 2 When you fail to fully understand the subject or wish to know more about it, start an argument. When the teacher gets wound up she will Pupils very successful along this line of endeavor will have their names placed on the Honor Roll. 147 tell you all she knows. It would seem that she would class you as a bonehead—however, such is not the case, she will in all probability be pleased to think that you take so much interest in your work. Ruse 3 Whenever you must give an excuse tell the truth; it is the only really original excuse and will not be believed under any circumstances. Ruse 4 A successful absentee must cultivate a delicate constitution. A geometry test is coming—he cannot escape—he has no chance of passing. In Spanish he develops a violent headache, he can hardly stand for dizziness, he staggers homeward and, having escaped the test, recovers and attends a show in the evening. And teacher pities Terence for his poor health! WELL— AFTER being pestered by about seventy-five per cent of the Annual Board, namely, the editor, I am commencing on a masterpiece of nonsense. Speaking of writing nonsense reminds me of a friend of mine who, though being a Central alumnus, had not lost his sense of humor. One day he told me that if I ever came within a mile of his house he hoped I would stop there. I have never been able to figure out what he meant. You know, readers, I used to be a tramp. Yes, I was. One day I went up to a house and asked the lady for something to eat. She said that she hadn’t a thing in the house and, besides that, she had some letters to write. “Madam,” I said, “let me lick the stamps. I can’t starve.” She looked at me and said, “What is the matter with your coat?” “Insomnia.” “What?” “Insomnia. It hasn’t had a nap in ten years.” She looked at me again kinda peculiar like and said, “I’ll give you a dipperful of water “Is that all?” “No; you can have as many dipperfuls as you want.” She set the dog on me so I ran into the next yard. There was an old maid there, and before I had a chance to say anything she said, “Do you believe in a system of free baths?” I said, “No man’s ever going to make me take a bath without paying for it.” She said, “What do you want?” “My relatives were all lost in the Chicago fire, even my poor, poor mother, and look at me, here, in the year 1920, nineteen years old, asking for aid. Won’t you help me?” “Aren’t you the same man that lost hi;s relatives in the Johnstown flood and the San Francisco earthquake?” “The very man,” I said. I could see she was near tears. “Well,” she said, “there is work to be had down the street, seven doors, sawing wood.” “Thanks,” I replied, “I might have run into it.” So you see, readers, even if I have discouraged your becoming tramps by showing its pitfalls, I also have been able to fill up space. “Thurdrowe Fronte.” 148 TEACHERS THIS is an easy subject to write upon, not only because it is so inspir- ing in itself, but because it is so broad that we can say almost anything we choose. We are not even limited to a point of view. If we were kindergarten or primary youngsters, this would become a eulogy of an angel, fully fledged, who conducted a daily party for our benefit, and for whom we scrambled to wash miles of chalky blackboard. Parenthetically let it be said that a glance about the rooms would reveal that a few kindergarten-minded pupils would be welcome here, if only from the purely practical standpoint. If we had progressed to the fifth or sixth grade, we should probably omit any mention of angelic qualities, and dwell on the unspeakable cruelty of those who kept us shut in a stupid schoolroom when the whole outdoors was calling invitations to us. But since we are considering high school teachers, neither of these phases will answer. It is impossible to give the typical high school stu- dent’s opinion of his teachers, for the typical student does not exist. All are as different as different can be. If we began listing individual opin- ions, there would be room for nothing else in the Annual. Having run up against a stone-wall in that lane of thought, let us look at the subject in another light: What do the teachers think of the pupils? This ought to make interesting reading, even if strictly censored. As this is one of the few subjects on which the teachers have not had to fill out questionnaires, we have no exact and tabulated statistics, and shall be forced to draw on our general observations. A teacher can discourse fluently on Latin or English or History, and still be conscious of the penitentiary cut, the infinitesimal bow-tie, the hydro-cephalous “hair-do,” or the hectic flush in that startling position just below the eyes. Have you noticed that voices are growing louder these days ? If the girls will wear those things over their ears . . . There is one group of pupils who are a relief and satisfaction to every teacher; not the mentally anemic ones who keep out of trouble because they have too little energy to do anything, good or bad, but the group to which you, who are reading this, belong, those boys and girls who come to school to get an education and can subordinate everything else to that during class hours. But there are pupils who get on a teacher’s nerves as they would on yours as well. You would be as fussy and irritable as you sometimes think they are, if you had to listen daily to the boy who always asks, “Did you say page 168?” and who always repeats the right page; to the one who invariably inquires if it is to hand in; to the one whose books are con- stantly stolen, whose home work so frequently and magically disappears. You will recall the Cockney jingle so appropriate right here: “Hit’s not the ’eavy ’aiding that ’urts the ’orse’s 'oofs. Hit’s the ’ammev, ’ammer, ’ammer on the ’ard ’ighway ” There is considerable monotony in the daily routine, checking up absences, excuses, library permits, and now even hall passes. But before we entirely leave this subject of what your teachers think of you, consider for a moment that curious class of pupils who regard grades as gifts bestowed in accordance with their teachers’ preferences, tests as a species of torture in which the teacher gleefully assembles all the unanswerable questions, and sending pink notices as the teacher’s most enjoyed recreation. Of all strange people you know, are any odder than these? If teachers did not need to mark papers until all hours they could make fortunes writing up their pupils for the current magazines. Finally we come to the eternally unanswered query, “Why is a teacher?” 149 Why should any man or woman in these days, when the business world is clamoring for the well-educated and offering undeniably great financial inducements to them, turn their backs on these and choose to spend long hours taming obstreperous boys and girls, training forever after them to impress the necessity of meeting their obligations, hourly hearing the subject they love butchered by the beginners? When all is said, the teacher’s task is largely a thankless one, really appreciated by only a few. Why, then, IS a teacher? The only answer we know, and it is not such a bad one, though it is the one you used to give to that ancient catch, “Why does a goose stand on one foot?”—not there is any other similarity, is “Try it and see!” , HE courtship of the lovers, “Romeo and Juliet,” was like a “Mid- summer Night’s Dream.” When he proposed her answer was “As You Like It”! They were married the “Twelfth Night,” and every one knew that he bought the ring of “The Merchant of Venice.” The best man and maid of honor were “Antony and Cleopatra,” and the ushers wTere “The Two Gentlemen of Verona.” The reception was given by “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” After their marriage they lived in a “Hamlet.” Romeo soon found that Juliet’s disposition was like a “Tempest,” and so his chief occupation was “The Taming of the Shrew.” Their first quarrel was caused by “Much Ado About Nothing,” and they proved their courtship to be “Love’s Labor Lost.” Their married life resembled “A Comedy of Errors,” and they gave each other “Measure for Measure.” But after they were reconciled their friends said, “All’s Well That Anonymous. A SHAKESPEAREAN ROMANCE Ends Well.” H. M. Wills, ’20. l.Ki THAT’S THE WAY WITH MEN I HAVE racked my brain to think of something appropriate to say about that piece of human nature which the world has deigned to call man. However, being a so-called man-hater myself, I find it rather difficult to treat the matter in at least a fair way. Men are of all sorts, kinds and shapes, naturally, but it strikes me that there are really only two types of these creatures, at least of the married kind. First we have the lazy type, the robust, red-faced kind who arise at about ten in the morning, leave, after a comfortable breakfast, for about two hours of pretended work in a becushioned office (they can’t help it if the money rolls in) and then set out for a lavish dinner at the club and an easy chair with a tempting cocktail close at hand (beg pardon for referring to days gone by; I meant to say an enticing coca-cola). In the summer time these leisure gentlemen choose the golf courses to while away their hours of boredom, and the poor caddy is the one that generally gets the worst of the bargain. As for the dear wife at home (most generally at home), she has nothing to say, but must willingly mend the socks and look after the children and be glad if her fond husband visits her for a dinner or two a week, contenting herself with believing truthfully that that is the way with men. On the other hand there is the work-fiend type—the kind who have their wives awake them at six-thirty, have breakfast at seven and have their hat and coat ready by seven-fifteen. With a rush they arc off to work, almost forgetting to kiss the dear wifey who has done so much for them. Peculiarly these men, after their start in business, do not work because they are ambitious and want to get ahead. No, they know it is their duty to themselves, to their wives and to their country, and so they have plodded along and have entrenched themselves in a rut of work where they must always stay. When the day’s work is done they return home, and after a silent supper sit reading the paper until sleep calls them to bed. Should the poor wifey dare to mention the movies, what a storm would follow! “How could she be so cruel as to ask him, after a hard day’s work, to wear himself out taking her to the movies !” They abhor vacations, these funny men do, little journeys to summer resorts which wifey always loves, and if they ever submit themselves to undergo any such hardship, it is always spoiled by their having to rush back to business before it is half over. Such are men! Having said sufficient concerning the married men, let us consider that type which have not yet entered into the stage of matrimony. Here a line may be drawn between the mushy kind and the too bashfully uninterested. I knew of a young man who fell head over heels in love with a sweet little girl, and for two lohole days he rushed her to death. Theater, movie, dance, candy, letters, all were showered on her little self by this fickle boy. On the third day his eyes came into contact with those of a blushing young damsel, and he was even stopped in the halls (I wonder by whom?) because he ran so fast to meet his date between classes. It was said (and by a boy friend of his, for I must admit that women do not always relate things in exact accordance with the truth—that’s how they’re clever!) that his number was four a week, and that he became very unhappy should it be only three. Among my acquaintances also was a boy, to whom his fellow-sufferers had to apply a bomb before he would ask a girl to a very respectable school dance. However, he finally gained courage and went and was so interested that he said practically three words to the young girl during the whole evening. The dear girl’s mother consoled her by saying, “That is the way with men!” When a group of the masculine gender get together there is usually something said about how women are forever changing their minds about 151 everything. Alas, poor men, you don’t even have to change your minds because they are never made up. It is known that men are the stronger sex. Women must stoop to them for that, especially on the street cars, where they have to hang themselves (not suicide) on a strap, while the men rest their weary bohes seated in a comfortable seat. Styles are a great thing in a woman’s life, certainly, but it has been said that men care naught for such foolish frivolities. Wherefore, I ask, do they wear pink shirts, green ties and yellow socks (you don’t need to look far to find this combination in our school), and why is brilliantine so practical for the head and derby hats so useful? Would a man think of wearing a black vest when his haberdasher told him olive drab was the style? Or would he ever miss wearing his straw hat on Easter? No, decidedly, no! And so I could go on naming thousands of peculiarities about men. Perhaps I have been one-sided, perhaps I have slammed the stronger sex too much and have hurt some one’s feelings, and there is a hope, a faint, flickering hope, that I have left out a type of man in whom all qualities are perfect—one who does not scatter cigarette ashes all over himself or forget to kiss his wife good-by. At least we can all hope. Charlotte Young, ’21. 152 WOMEN, IRRESISTIBLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE (With due apologies to my girl) WOMEN, where have I heard that word before? Ah, yes, t’was some thousand years ago that a human phonograph was placed upon this balmy earth in the form of a woman, Eve. And, believe me, it was good-night for Adam. Thus the feminine creature descended from a rib, and has continued to grow more crooked year after year. Having such a hardy origin made them quite a substantial affair, but years ot idleness and wrong dress has changed them. Alas! they are but hard- headed. Women are thus naturally given to stubbornness and believe in doing the direct opposite of what a clear-minded man advises them. But, seeing this obviously necessary trait, we sidetrack their train of thought so as to get our own way with the advantage of keeping the girls in good humor, which is a benefit to the entire community. Do you know any girl capable (now be honest, men) of being taken out to a movie and speaking in the present? No! Absolutely and emphatically, NO !! She uses the past tense. Last night, the night before, and “Oh, George was splendid,” but never does she talk about the present. Well, now that is passed. In the movies she cooes, “Isn’t Wally Reid a dear? and oh, his sweet smile!” I’m not jealous; I’m just truthful. Then, in order to show her a good time, you suggest an ice-cream symposium, but she switches you to a high-class restaurant, and you bid good-by to the five rocks that Dad has given you, for the dainty little thing has an appetite that would do justice to an Irish deck-hand on a tramp ocean schooner. Nevertheless, she is attractive, so you can endure the strain. All women are the same. Seeing that leap-year has once more arrived, the women are again disposed to try their hand at the art of wooing and, perhaps, winning. Now all the world loves a lover, and when the lover is a woman she is so darn lovely that we are at a decided disadvantage. We may as well throw up the sponge before we start. A woman having the experience of many love affairs, and no doubt several proposals, sure can make marriage sound like a good proposition. Can you imagine yourself bringing a beautiful girl home from a swell dance and having her slip to one dainty knee and offer her life, love and obedience, plus cooking and general house work? Then she looks up out of her watery eyes, like those of a dying calf, and— well, a man just keeps from fainting by sheer nerve, and shakes a feeble affirmative. Well, then comes the funnymoon, and you settle down to the simple married life, and the fun begins, for by this time your wife, whom by all rules of convention you should call “Kitty,” has become a wild-cat. Now you see, instead of a fair woman, a human being who is about 1% fair and 99% so unfair that you begin to realize that she has swindled you, but it is too late now to argue, and, anyway, all the weaker sex are the same, so why create trouble? But when you quit eating at restaurants and she starts to cook you find she has about as much conception of the culinary art as a bottle of Bevo has pep, but the two cases are parallel, you have no kick coming. Your one bright aspect of life has a total eclipse, but you join a club and eat once in a while. To be accommodating I went down town shopping with my wife one day. I ask you in all seriousness, men (you, too, fellows), were you ever accommodating? If you ever were you know what labor it is; if you never were, this is for your benefit. In the first place you start out just in time to get luncheon in some female haberdashery where you take half of your wife’s friends in with you. After receiving a glance of pity from the Swiss head waiter, who was born in New Jersey, you find a table and are seated amidst a clamor which would do justice to Child’s restaurant. After luncheon you endeavor to proceed. You notice I say “endeavor,” for to proceed directly would be impossible. Be it ever thus with women. You 153 never knew your wife had so many friends and loving enemies. You try to pilot your wife out as a tug boat does a liner, but give up the job in great disgust. A bright idea has suddenly come to your mind: all you do is speak two words more than necessary to the check girl, and your wife comes a-flying. You heave a sigh of relief; but wait, man, the worst is yet to come. First you might look at some jewelry of some sort. The clerk shows you some at all different prices, but they all look the same to you, so for once in your life let your wife use her own judgment. Then the battle of wits between the clerk and your wife begins. You can enjoy it this time, for you are not in it. Another reason, there is nothing near by that can easily be thrown. But in some ways you feel sorry for the clerk. You know what the outcome of the battle will be before it ever starts. Your wife will always win, for she has had so much experience with you. After the fight, in which your wife has won the leather medal, you follow meekly at her heels to some other counter. So the afternoon passes. Your wife has only lost one argument; that was at the bathing counter where the clerks wore rubber ear stoppers. Five o’clock comes, and you begin to think of home. The whole day you or your wife haven’t bought a thing, but purchasing wasn’t the idea—you were merely shopping. Speaking of two-faced animals, did you ever happen to think that a woman is so two-faced that she often can argue with herself and enjoy it? A woman is so constructed that she can meet one of her dearest hated enemies, fall on her neck in mock joy, accept an invitation to dine and go home and proclaim to her husband how she met “that hateful Mrs. Brown and was forced to accept an engagement.” It’s truly wonderful how a woman can stuff herself with all sorts of moods. The telephone rings, and “Oh! Mrs. So-and-So, how are you? I was just wishing you would call up, dear.” An hour later she blows a kiss over the wires and turns away with utter disgust at the loss of time on such a social climber, but “one must not be rude, you know,” and all that sort of thing. It is marvelous the way they act at times. What would we do without the fluttering, doll-faced-blue-eyed-cooing girls? Even the Ouija Board refuses to answer this question. We all must admit they are ornamental, necessary, and not so bad after all. If they could only forget that to be happy you must create trouble we would be 0. K. Well, we admit that we could not get along without the women, but listen, Fair Ones, could you get along without us? It’s a 50-50 break, and we hold the upper hand. Go ahead, talk right on, the last word is yours by the right of conquest. We know you’ll get it because you are only a woman. John Keffer, ’20. Some months ago there appeared in the American magazine two articles similar to these, hence the idea. The affirmative, or man, was written by Irvin S. Cobb, and the negative or woman by Mary Roberts Rhinehart. The subject is so large that John and Charlotte collected some more information which is shown in a humorous but, nevertheless, truthful way. These articles were written without either author seeing the work of the other. With woman suffrage looming up in the near distance, and being a male myself, I “dassent” say which is the most truthful, but “Birds of a feather stick together.” You say there is no truth in these; well, wait awhile, we’ll all grow up some day. The Editor. EAST JUNIOR HIGH WHEN East Junior High first came into existence in February, 1918, Hodge, East Madison and Sowinski schools sent their seventh and eighth grades, numbering four hundred and sixty pupils, here. Every one who comes to a strange school for the first time naturally runs all over the building to find where he belongs, and we were not exceptions. During the first few days many pupils engaged in what was in reality a “wild goose chase” in searching for their rooms. But during the next few days the pupils began to “settle down.” All the new pupils have hardships, but they’ve conquered them despite new rules and customs and other troubles. Later East received pupils from Doan, Hough and Wade Park schools, so that increased our number to six hundred sixty students. There have been many pleasant and important events during our stay at East. The 7B1 class of last term gave a play for Better English Week. The 7A1 class of September, 1919, organized an important class society, which prepared debates every week in English. This class also produced an original play for Better English Week and conducted a mock trial. Many Junior Highs took part in a dramatization of Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” at Christmas, 1919, under the direction of the English teachers. The Senior High pupils have many times given plays and done other things for us, and we are very grateful to them. Mr. Lothman has called us to the auditorium for some interesting talks. There were many other important events, chief of which (at least to most of the pupils) were those pertaining to athletics. One of these was a basketball contest between the various rooms in the late winter, Room 30 winning the championship. The Juniors have raised money through the sale of mint candies, and the sale of products of the woodwork and art departments. We have already bought a victrola and a lantern with the money thus raised, but we need a much larger fund, and we are going to raise it. Thus the pupils added to the spirit of East, and they realize what East Junior High is—she isn’t a building; she isn’t school-rooms, books and periods of hard study and work; she isn’t the teachers; she isn’t the pupils. We are all a part of it, but we aren’t really East Junior High. She’s the spirit of East, and the teachers and pupils are each a part of it. And so, when the Juniors go out into life, they will surely remember the time when they first became pupils here, and what East junior High was to them. Victor Lowe, 8AL 155 THE PLEASURES OF EATING I TAKE great joy in eating. There, I have thrown down the gauntlet. The deed is done, and I may speak freely. Many people like to eat, some people adore eating, some even live to eat; but who will admit it? The person who devours Latin or Greek, or the person who acts like a glutton when he discovers a particular horror of a geometry problem, is proud of the fact. He flouts it before the world. Then, why do all ye people who partake of the pleasures of eating hide the fact and keep it in dark seclusion? Was there ever an oration of Cicero’s, however hand- somely bound, that could compare with one of Crane’s chocolate nut parfaits? That same parfait is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, and is there a pupil in East High School who would challenge that statement? If the joy has been taken out of eating, why not do away with it? It takes time, money and thought, which, in this age of high efficiency, should be conserved. A tablet every three hours or so should suffice. This tablet would contain all the necessary proteins, fats and starches that the domestic science teachers preach about, and that are slowly taking all the joy out of living. We certainly can’t have a properly ordered life and give so much time to food. Look at the Germans! I am sure their efficiency slipped up because they liked to eat too well. But can the pleasures of life and love and food outweigh the calls of modern efficiency? Ah, fair reader, if your fond parent, while reading the morning paper, took a tablet instead of his usual breakfast, when, oh, when could you make that gentle little “touch”? Soon our ancient and honorable Thanksgiving holiday would sink into oblivion, for can you imagine Thanksgiving being maintained without Friend Turkey? Intel- lect and oratory would no longer flourish in our fair land, for how could there be any after-dinner speakers if there were no dinners? But the thought of all this becomes too much for me. I am over- come by the horror of it all. I feel as though the foundations of civiliza- tion are crumbling when across my mind flashes the scene in the lunch- room at the sixth hour. My trust in life returns. With my fears subdued I go back to my work. The pleasures of eating are still enjoyed by a few. Gladys Goldfinger, '21. MR. LOTHMAN’S ANNUAL BANQUET ON Saturday evening, November 29th, 1919, at the College Club, occurred Mr. Lothman’s annual banquet to the faculty. This de- lightful event has become an established custom at East, and it is always anticipated with much pleasure by the members of the faculty. It is the outgrowth of the “football banquet”—minus the football boys, plus the ladies of the faculty. As guests of the evening we were honored by the presence of Mrs. Brewer, of the Board of Education, and Judge Brewer, Assistant Super- intendent Lake, Director of Foreign Languages, Dr. De Sauze, and two well-beloved former teachers at East- Mr. Boles and Mr. Eisenhauer. After the excellent dinner, for which these affairs have become noted, our guests were called upon for short talks, and when these were com- pleted some one suggested that we dance. Think of it! At once the tables were removed, and “then the fun began.” During the intermissions Mr. Davis led the faculty in singing, which was enjoyed by all those who did not have to sing (I hope). After a most delightful evening the party broke up at about ten o’clock (but it is reported that Mr. Gabriel F. Smith did not arrive home until after midnight, due to missing connections). We all hope that this affair may continue to be an annual event (not Mr. Smith’s late arrival home). 156 ARE YOU A GRADUATE? FFANCES HARDING turned in at the gate of her home. She was tired, for the day had been hot, and she had been looking for a position during the morning and afternoon. It was nearly five o’clock now, and yet she had had no luck. Why were employers so anxious to employ high school graduates? What good did it do them? Would she have to go back to school and finish up her high school course? With these thoughts crowding her brain she entered the house and slammed the door. Her mother, who was preparing the supper in the kitchen, came into the hall. “Well, Frances,” she said, “did you find a position you would like?” “I would like all of them, but they will not hire me because I am not a graduate. Who couldn’t, after being in a commercial high school nearly four years, take dictation and typewrite? Who couldn’t, I ask you?” She was disgusted at the thought of having been refused all the positions she had applied for. “They say I can have the position for the summer, but not after that,” she ended. ‘T believe you had better go upstairs and lie down till supper is ready,” answered her mother. Frances lay in bed for an hour. Then she arose and dressed herself. When she heard the outside door close she went down stairs. Her sister Grace had come home from work. Whom did she have with her? Frances soon learned who the distinguished looking woman was. Frances stood at the foot of the stairs until her sister called her. “Fran,” said Grace, “this is my employer, Mrs. Myers.” “How do you do, my dear,” cheerfully asked Mrs. Myers. “I suppose you will be going to work soon. When do you graduate?” “Oh,” came the answer, “I—I shall—I would graduate next Feb- ruary.” “My dear child,” exclaimed Mrs. Myers. She understood what Frances meant. “You don’t mean that you are not going to graduate, do you?” “I hate school, and I do want to work,” answered Frances, “but I have tried all day to find a permanent position, and everywhere I went I was refused, just because I am not a graduate.” “Well,” began Mrs. Myers, “I was in the same predicament when I was your age. My parents forced me to go to school, and now, you see, I have a business all my own, because I graduated both from high school and college. Haven’t you noticed how well your sister gets along? She receives a salary of over a hundred dollars a month. We could not dispense with her.” “Grace has more brains than I have,” said Frances. She knew now how foolish she had been. “Oh, no, she has not,” continued Mrs. Myers. “I would gladly employ her sister if she were a high school graduate. I shall let her work for me this summer if she will go back to school in the fall.” Frances accepted the proposition and worked for Mrs. Myers during the summer. When the new term began Frances was back at school. Mrs. Myers promised her a permanent position for a graduation gift. When the eve of graduation came Frances found that Mrs. Myers’s promises were real. Ina Murray, ’21. 157 LIFE ON THE STREET CAR Come, my childrun, and you shall hear Of a street car ride, now all come near. It is light on the subject as it seemed to me. (He is light in the head; that yon will see.) Critic. WHEN you board the car, the motorman starts a minute before you expect it, and it mixes up your equilibrium. That is the begin- ning of all your trouble. You walk through the swaying car to the seat you spy in the rear. As you go staggering drunkenly past the two files of people, the women in the car, unless one happens to be abnor- mal, .glance up from whatever they are occupied with, and regard you with cold hostility. They seem to say, “Only you? Why, I thought I’d see some one.” There seems to be a sort of mental telepathy between the person entering the car and the said women, for invariably they glance up at him. You encounter, on your promenade down the aisle, the surprisingly large pedal extremities of several people, and on the feet of the said people there seem to be monstrous corns. You mumble your most humble apolo- gies for having been so clumsy, knowing all the time the others were at fault. Then, after surmounting all obstacles, you fall, with the sudden lurching of the car, into your seat, jostling the people on both sides of you. Again you murmur your exceedingly humble apologies for being so clumsy, but you inwardly curse the motorman so fluently that when he dies he will surely have a hot time of it. You read all the advertisements around you, and then you pretend to read those toward the front which one really needs a pair of binoculars to read. This is to give your friendly neighbors time to give you the “once-over” (as the slang is). Well, you begin to feel at home, so to speak, and it is now your turn to scrutinize your neighbors. The trend of your mind is like this: “That girl over there is not bad looking—she looks worried—I guess I’d better look the other way, she’s looking at me—she’s turned away—I wonder what she is thinking about—ah! I know. She has opened the paper and is looking in the Want Ad Section—she must be out of work— she looks capable—well, I’d like to help her, but there’s nothing open at the office—too bad—look who’s sitting next to her—some young fellow in uniform—he looks fussed—wonder what it’s all about—ha! ha! ha! he is debating whether or not he should give his seat to the girl standing up—she is sitting down now—well done, my boy, you’re a gentleman— wonder where I am—Wheel—two stops past mine—Conductor!” Paul Hexter, ’20. 131 LEST WE FORGET HAVE we forgotten that memorable day in the history of our school, when out on the front lawn we dedicated that young tree to the four boys of our school who died for our country? We first had a session in the auditorium and then were told to go down stairs. And how quietly we did go! We formed alongside of the fence and waited. All was silent. Above the sky was a clear blue with fleecy white clouds floating about, and the sun poured down its warm rays. Old Glory floated half-mast in the breeze. In the center was the tree with a fresh mound of dirt around it. Little did it know of the grief of our school! Near by was the boy with the bugle. At the signal he began to blow taps. And oh, the rever- ence and sadness in the tones! I could feel their vibration within me, and all around was a dead silence. For a moment I forgot the crowd around, rapt in the solemnity of the tones. I felt proud of our brave boys and earnestly hoped that I, too, might do some noble and good deeds before the moment of my departure comes. I was suddenly aroused from my meditation by the sound of a voice delivering a talk, dedicating the tree to our fallen heroes. This speech also stirred the heart and mind, but somehow the solemn tones of the bugle took me away in thought. As we went back to our rooms everything was quiet. The air was still, and every one seemed rapt in thought. There were a few who spoke, but only in whispers. Every one’s feelings seemed to have responded to the sad call of the bugle. I have often thought of this meeting on the front lawn, and I hope that we have not forgotten about our departed heroes, and that we may do good deeds. For why are we in this world if the main reason isn’t that we should forget ourselves and do good to others? We may not have the opportunity to do so great a thing as sacrifice our lives, but surely there are little things every day that we might do for some one. Ruth Hoffman, ’21. 159 THE VICTORY Fierce and bitter was the struggle, But the strife at length was o’er, And the joyful news went ringing, That East High had won once more. Proudly homeward rode the players, Glorified by their success. Every one was full of gladness, As our cheers led all the rest. Alex Sobocinski, ’22.

If you have, why, then, you’re a “Buddy” of ours, And we welcome you to our fold. Did you ever eat with your plate on your lap And your cup on the ground at your side, While cooties and bugs of species untold Dance a foxtrot over your bide? Did you ever sleep in a tent so small That your head and your feet play tag? Then shake, old man, you’re a pal of ours, For you follow the same old flag. Did you ever stand in a front line trench With “Fritz” a few feet away? With “Jerrys” and “Minnies” a-whistling around And gas coming over all day? With “No Man’s Land” a sea of steel And gangs of bursting shell? Then come in, old man, and toast your shins, For we are all .just back from Hell. DISCIPLINE ONE day as I was walking down Euclid Avenue I noticed a large crowd standing on a corner. I began to wonder if it was a mass meeting with “Billy” Sunday officiating; but no, today is Monday, and it is impossible for Sunday to come on Monday. Then I noticed that the people were gazing upward, so I looked up, expecting to see an aeroplane shaking a wicked rudder on top of the building, or even to see a “horse-fly,” but to my surprise saw a young fellow standing on his head on the edge of the building. This led me to believe that he was upset about something. He finally lighted upon his feet again, and turned around to gaze behind him, when a strong gust of wind seemed to sweep him off his feet, and he began to descend. He fell contrary to the laws of flying, for an aeroplane descends to earth in a nose-dive, but he was in a tail spin. About twenty feet from the ground he changed his position and came down head first, landing in a big truck loaded with coal, and disappeared from view. Well, everybody thought, that is the end of one man. Then some one had the courage to yell, “There’s a fellow in the coal- pile.” So shovels were brought to the scene of the accident to dig him out of the coal, and an ambulance was called. It was fully five minutes before they could find him, and when he was uncovered he rolled his eyes around and asked, “Where am I?” “You’re here just now,” replied a man, “but I don’t know where you will be in a few minutes.” He had scarcely uttered these words when the fellow jumped to his feet and started to walk away. Some one in the crowd yelled, “Hey, aren’t you hurt?” “No, sir, not at all,” he replied. “You see I go to East High School, and besides passing Senior Algebra and ‘Trig’ I have played on the football team for two seasons.” 161 MY UNIFORM How well I remember That night in November When to the Armory we went To get the new suits, Hats, shirts, and boots, That the Government had at last sent. How often I pictured myself all dressed up In my uniform, snug fitting and fine, And at each report of when the suits would arrive I eagerly waited for mine. For I longed to walk down the street with a stride, And a heart that would be verily bursting with pride. But, alas and alack! My pride fell with a whack When I came to wear my new rig: My coat was too tight and my trousers too big; My shoes were too large, and my hat was too small; In fact there was nothing that fit me at all. All my life I had been very hard to be clothed. And buying a new suit I especially loathed; But that misery was nothing, compared With the knowledge that I Could neither walk, stand nor sit While wearing my uniform which did not fit. Vaudry Linas, ’22. fiSU e TH0U6HT rneyy ve: 162 ARMY SHOES IT 7 E got our army shoes at the armory. Ordinarily you get them at V y the hardware store, for they are certainly built for hard wear. After several weeks you will get them “broken in,” but not with- out getting some experience of the pleasant (?) feeling of blisters. You have only two blisters, one on each foot, but as they cover the whole foot no more are necessary. However, after the shoes are once “broken in” they are quite comfortable. They certainly are built for comfort; not for speed. But if they were, you would need no horn to warn people of your approach; the squeak followed by BANG is sufficient. But with them you can laugh the H. C. of shoes in the face, for army shoes last a lifetime if they are occa- sionally taken to a blacksmith shop to be repaired. Wendell Norris, ’23. SPIRRL PUTTS g .

From all the data that I could discover the Italians were the first people in beginning to digest this delicious morsel. This last statement I give as a reason for asking an Italian how to eat spaghetti. There are many ways in which to eat it. I shall try to give you a few pointers. First of all you have to play the part of a contortionist. Given the bowl of spaghetti and one fork, preferably one long-handled fork, to prove that in time spaghetti will have to emigrate from the bowl to some place in the proximity of your mouth. Place the given fork into the mass and twirl it so as to engage a portion of spaghetti with the fork. Suddenly draw it forth into the air, throw your arm around and then open your mouth very wide and make a stab for it. Of course when you are learning there will be a great loss of spaghetti, as it will fly to all parts of the room and sometimes spoil the wall-paper. Then there is always one caution for the beginner, and that is to hold tightly on the fork when putting it in the mouth. This is only one of the ways to treat spaghetti; there are many others. I find, after experimenting with many ways of eating this article, that the best way to eat spaghetti is to cut it up fine and eat it with a spoon. Frank McNamara, ’21. Our X 3o jv t -O'RAToTA IS ftciros 164 THE WAR PANTHEON PIERRE CARRIER-BELLEUSE and Auguste Francois Gorguet, two authors, with the help of the best French artists, wanted to express simply, clearly and patriotically the French views of the war. The painting is on the inside walls of a circular building which covers about three stories high. As you enter the building you see a beautiful laurel-crowned maiden as tall as the building, representing the Pantheon of Glory. Her arms are uplifted, with two laurels in her hands. Under her uplifted arms are Marshals Foch and Joffre. Behind this Pantheon of Glory, which will be later called the Pantheon of Victory, rise many long, wide stone steps, upon which are about five thousand heroes. Each man is a portrait, and each portrait a hero. Opposite this Pantheon of Glory is a painting of two French ’75 guns guarding a large mausoleum upon which are six French poilus holding at arm’s length a coffin, over which is draped a flag. At the foot of this monument, called “Pro Patria,” is a weeping woman kneeling, under the mourning veil, who prays, suffers and weeps for the dead heroes. The two centers of the composition are joined by the hemicycles, on which our allies are grouped. First comes England, Belgium, and so on, around to the United States, picturing the head men of each country who played a part in the war. Behind the hemicycles are all of the battle- fronts and all of the ruined towns. Over Verdun there is a gold star to represent France’s greatest battle. This painting was started October the first, 1914, and was finished just recently. The artists worked with undying efforts while they were being bombed, and under many other hardships, but, nevertheless, this work of art will be classed as one of the wonders of the world. Charles Wicks, ’21. ON GETTING A RAISE I HAVE often read essays on “Asking for a Raise,” but few, if any, have I read on “Getting a Raise,” especially an uncalled-for raise. Therefore, I shall endeavor to write on one which came in our family. One Sunday, early last fall, the most beautiful day of the season, my brother brought his girl friend home. The sun shone brightly, the day was warm, and the skies were a bright blue except for the few white clouds which floated overhead. Every one was happy. We amused ourselves playing the victrola, the ukuleles, and singing—- a regular concert—until dinner was announced. At the table we joked and laughed, my father, a regular “cut-up,” making up funny stories of how different objects in the room had come into the family. My brother had just said, “Well, you might as well bring on the family album,” when a sharp knock on the front door startled us all from our seats. Who could it be? No one could get to our door without first coming through the door in the vestibule, and that was always kept locked. On answering it we found it to be a messenger with a special delivery letter. At a sugges- tion from my father, that such things always bring bad news, we waited until the meal was completed before reading it. On opening it we found: “I am your landlord. I have bought the flat in which you live. Beginning next month your rent will be raised fifteen dollars ($15.00) per. Kindly remit. Yours, Mr. ------.” Margery Slayton, ’2j. 16-5 THOSE M. P.’S STUDENT enters building and briskly starts down the hall with a business-like air, looking neither to the right nor the left. M. P. lifts eyes ever so slightly and watches Student, ready to pounce upon him at the first sign of an attempt to mount stairs. Student, unconscious of the fact that he is being observed, quickly turns just as he is about to pass the steps and hurries upward. This hostile act is greeted by a loud “Hey!” on the part of the M. P. Student slackens his pace somewhat, due to the startling exclamation, but continues onward and upward as an innocent angel might. “Come back here!” yells the M. P. “What do you think you are doing?” Student, very much chagrined, about faces and descends. “Where are you going?” demands the M. P. in his deepest bass. “Up to the Physics room,” Student boldly replies, having recovered by this time. “What for?” “To finish some experiments.” “Where’s your pass?” again queries M. P. “I haven’t any. Mr.--------lets me come up every day.” “Well, you can’t work that any more; you either get a pass or you don’t go up,” replies M. P. cruelly. “Aw,” is all Student can say as he turns around in disgust and makes his way to the land of “hot dogs” and “pop.” Elmore Haring, ’21. fo-R Tat ’OmamoH e ?

But as a psychologist he had about as much mentality as an irresponsible babe. The little ditty might apply to a comedian in a vaudeville show, but for a bit of advice to a group of high school seniors our friend the poet was dead wrong. Today it is not the man who goes to business with a new joke and a boisterous laugh who wears the laurel in the hall of financial fame. Abso- lutely not! It is the chap who hurries forth each day with a grim deter- mination and a pleasant, warm smile, who “cops” the medals. The keynote to success is dependability, and this is where the jokester takes a back seat. An employer today won’t, and can’t take a chance on him. He wants a live wire, to be sure, yet he demands steadiness, so the happy-go-lucky type is out of the running. Does this mean the sacrifice of wit and sense of humor? By no means, for these qualities in their place are essential, but when misused are a drag, a millstone to one’s ambitions. A pleasant personality is a wonder- ful help to a fellow, but this is never created or supported by a burst of loud mirth. But why worry over this? Listen, fellows, for four years we have studied more or less and are now about to take our first step on to the rugged road of life. How shall we face the situation—with a care-free laugh or a determination to do, to succeed? There comes a time when we must face the future. That time is graduation night. When the eyes of our parents and friends are focused on us, as, with a quick step, we go forward to receive our compensation for four years of honest effort, and we are handed that treasured certificate, our childhood days should be over; then the spirit of noblesse oblige thrills us and we begin to feel a burden of responsibility. Knowing that we must deliver the goods makes us think ahead. Four years of high school training have roughly but firmly molded the course we will follow. It has built a substantial foundation for us or a high barrier which is hard to tear down. All the while you have been walking back to your chair somewhere on the platform in the auditorium, diploma in hand, these thoughts will rush through your mind, and you will make a definite decision for yourself. You will get acquainted with your true self, see whether you have a feeling of might and ability or a sense of weakness. And after the exercises are over and your dad, mother, or dearest friend sticks out a hand of hearty congratulation will you meet it with the strong, steady, powerful grasp of a man, or will you be a weakling? John E. Keffer, ’20. .1(17 OUR NEW PICTURES DURING the year an attempt was made to beautify the lower hall of our school with some good pictures. The money for these art works came really from the student body, for on every set of books sold by the English department a small profit is made. So, in a way, we have all contributed to the new attractiveness of our lower hall. Among the pictures hung we notice a modern French painter’s work, Bastien Lepage’s “Joan of Arc Listening to the Voices.” The rapt face of the peasant girl looks out from the canvas—as she dreams her dream of saving France—and listens to the mystic voices. In the background are the shadowy figures of her saints, indistinct to us, but so clearly heard by Joan. Another French artist is represented in “The Storm,” by Jean Baptiste Corot. The landscape is of his usual coloring—delicate and poetically tender, but the spirit of the picture is more vigorous than we usually associate with Corot. The trees bend and writhe before the approaching storm, and the solitary traveler “forward bends his head,” as he hurries to reach shelter. Two colored prints of beautiful Rheims Cathedral—exterior and interior views—remind us of one of the war’s tragedies. The picture showing Colleoni—a mercenary soldier of Venice—is the work of the sculptor Verrochio. It stands today in a Venetian square, which the lordly horseman proudly surveys from a horse as proud as its rider. This work is sometimes called the finest equestrian statue in the world, for the horse and its rider are a unit, breathing pride, vigor and a daring which does not know the meaning of fear. The full length woman’s figure of great dignity and grace is the Saint Barbara of Palma Vecchio. She was the patron saint of fortifications and guns, so in spite of the gracious, softly curving lines of the figure, we have cannon and a bit of fortification in the picture. Mr. Henry Turner Bailey has called this “the picture of perfect womanhood—perfect physically, intellectually and spiritually. Saint Barbara is so feminine and soft, yet so strong and capable; so beautiful and so good. We hope that other years may see constant additions to our collection of good pictures, until there is not a wall in hall or class room at East High School where the eye does not rest on some copy of a beautiful work of art. KiS THE JAZZ AND RAGTIME AGE WE may refer to the last two years as the beginning- of the Jazz and Ragtime Age. These two words, jazz and ragtime, are the fav- orite expressions of people who are interested in the Terpsichorean art. For the benefit of any who have been sleeping for the last few years I shall try to explain what jazz and ragtime are. Jazz is midway between real dancing and the motions of a person who has St. Vitus Dance. The movement is different with every couple and is mostly of a sliding and whirling nature, aided by a prayer that you do not fall. Ragtime is so-called music to which the jazz dances are performed. This is also called jazz music, and when you hear the tune your pedal extremities (pardon me, your feet) begin to keep time with the music. Let us visit a theatre which has one act or two of the kind we are discussing. The program reads: Act I—Dixie-Jazz Band The curtain ascends and we see five colored gentlemen attired in full-dress suits, seated on chairs, and each having his instrument. Sud- denly the band begins to play, and the tune is of a weird nature. Every man is swaying in a different direction, and the audience receives the impression that they cannot keep time. The clarinet is giving out shrill tones, the saxophone is trying to obliterate the noise of the trombone, while the violin arid piano seem to have become “lost in the shuffle.” The noise soon stops and the curtain is lowered while the band receives great applause. Act II—Madame Wiggle, the Great “Shimmy” Dancer The curtain ascends a second time, and we see a lady kneeling on the floor bowing her head as if praying to Allah. When the music begins she proceeds to imagine herself playing the renowned colored gentleman’s game called “African Golf,” which is played with dice. Soon she grows tired of this diversion, stands up and proceeds to give her shoulders an oscillating movement. These peculiar motions constitute her entire program. From the above illustrations can we not see how deplorably music and dancing have degenerated? In the near future I shall endeavor to enlighten my parishioners as to how immoral these new fads are, and I may have to attend another performance in order to find the proper antidote.

CAMP HREE miles south of Geauga Lake, Ohio, surrounding a most beau- tiful lake of about four acres, lies the Cleveland Y. M. C. A. camp. This forty-acre camp is the most beautiful site that could be selected for such a purpose. On approaching the camp the first glimpse you obtain is that of the glistening water of the lake. (Scene 2.) As we draw alongside of the lake we observe an old saw-mill beside a slowly decaying dam. (Scene 5.) This dam was built on a small creek (Scene 1) to furnish water power for the saw-mill. Consequently this beautiful lake was formed. In Scene 5 the water runway can be faintly seen held up on props beside the mill. The rocks to the right of this picture are usually covered with water, but at the time of this picture there was an unusual drought. The mill is rather extinct as a saw-mill since most of the timber has been cut. Nevertheless thirty-nine different species of trees can still be found on the grounds despite the lumberman’s ax. The East End Branch of the Y. M. C. A. always leaves on the first Monday of July. The Erie train is taken to Geauga Lake. There a hay wagon meets the boys and takes their blankets while they hike to camp. Immediately upon arriving in camp, four teams are chosen for competition in different athletic events. Of course, everybody wants a swim, which is generally granted. Noon is well nigh by now, and the dinner bell is greeted with the noise of a county fair and the rush of hunting dogs. After dinner the fifteen tents are pitched in a semi-circle along the lake as can be partly seen in Picture 2. As only a hard wooden floor is furnished to sleep on, we then fill long bags with straw to substitute for a mattress. After supper that evening the new boys are initiated. All the boys who have never been in camp in previous years must sing a song, tell jokes or put on some stunt until it has been accepted by the rest. Failure to do this calls for you to bend over and let the ninety odd boys “warm” you. Usually a great effort is made by the actors to elude this penalty. By that time everybody is ready to try his new bed and await the next day. A boy could never say the camp lacked something to do. At 6:15 the bell is rung for the morning plunge for those who desire it. By 7:00 everybody must be in front of the mess hall for breakfast. You must not only be there, but it is necessary to have your hair combed, face and hands washed, not only a gym suit on, but also a shirt. If you fail in any one of these requirements your team loses points, and the team pays you back. During the morning, swimming or running events are held between the teams. In the afternoon, team baseball games are held on the ball dia- monds. Different nights we would take hikes, cook our supper, and then sleep out under some tree. On Sundays hikes are taken for learning the different species of trees, for which points are given. Boys can also receive points by diving from the top of a thirty-foot bridge. This might not seem so much to the reader, but getting your nerve together to dive is a rather large task. I have gone to this camp for the last five years and have enjoyed every day of it. Fred Struggles, ’21. 171 TAP DAY AT YALE IT was tap day at Yale and, probably in the lives of Yale men, the most critical single event of the four years’ course, because this is a means by which one may prove to the world whether one has or has not made good in the estimation of the student body. It was the last Thursday in May on which by long-followed custom this selection was to take place, and as any onlooker might see, the crowd on this particular afternoon was moving as one toward Durfee Hall and the big oak tree that stands in front of the hall, which for many years has been the place where this supreme test takes place. Crowds of boys came on the campus like a flood, and the Juniors, separating from the rest, gathered at the foot of the oak tree just inside the famous fence which surrounds the campus. Today the three senior societies, Skull and Crossbones, Scroll and Keys, and Wolf’s Head, each choose fifteen boys from the junior class to take the places left vacant by the seniors. These seniors go among the crowd and tap the fellows on the back and say, “Go to your room,” Each selection is welcomed with a shout by the crowds who look on. The seniors who do the selecting wear derby hats, while the juniors go bare-headed so they may be easily distinguished and keep track of the tapping more easily. Today in this crowd of some three hundred odd men are many not- ables, including the captain of the crew and captain of the football eleven, almost certain to be chosen, but not always, else why the anxious expres- sions on their faces? Neither popularity, wealth nor standing are sure of bringing the desired tap. It is a heart-breaking test for those not chosen, and sometimes seems cruel, for only forty-five may go away happy. At the same time, it is a wonderful incentive for the under class men. As the hour of five approaches a stillness fixes the entire crowd, and when the five strokes of the college bell have hardly died away the first two juniors are tapped. There rises a shout, and the crowd surges forward toward the two hurrying figures. The exciting spectacle has begun. The seniors with grave faces work in and out of the crowd searching for their men, and every few minutes a man is tapped, and each time a shout and rush follow. Still the three hundred odd men wait, thinning little. The last few minutes are filled with anxiety, the black hats of the seniors are growing fewer and fewer as another and another junior goes from the crowd, solemn and happy, each with his guarding senior. Those who remain grow very quiet, and then the last man is chosen. Slowly the two hundred odd men who were not good enough scatter, pluck- ily laughing and joking together, yet ’tis safe to say, with heavy hearts. Somewhere a boy who was not chosen would go back to his room to face alone the stern reality that he was “not good enough” and to realize that he has fallen short of the coveted mark. This was heart-breaking—■ for tap day means much at Yale. JOHN MURRAY, ’21. LOVE OR FASCINATION BY A SUFFERER LOVE is not a pastime or a pleasure. It is a peculiar, distressing, mental affliction, which spreads to the heart and causes the affected to lose all self-control, and proves serious to the general welfare of our average high school student, whom it attacks most violently. The symptoms of this dreadful disease are the loss of sleep, the loss of appetite and gross neglect of study. Often there are periods of strange muttering as if pain were being felt, although none actually was. The heart is, however, apt to be under severe strain, and the cords supporting it snap, causing the poor sufferer a total breakdown, often ending in a proposal to the fair damsel with whom he is infatuated. Parental objection is sure to result, and this invariably causes the separation of the pair who long for death, for they feel they cannot live if separated. This condition is indeed very distressing. Loving mothers and fathers are forlorn. They realize the need of medical aid and are offering large sums to further the discovery of a harmless cure for the extremely contagious plague, love. Doctors, quacks and chiropractors are devoting much time to the case, hoping to find the cure and thus make their fortune. To those who still have enough mentality to avoid exposure to the disease I have only this to say: “Continue to protect yourselves from the germs of puppy or insincere love. Fortify yourselves against an evil which, after the sun of romance sets, casts the poor unfortunate into the shadow of regret and into the sea of remorse.” Thus have I spoken. Weigh my words and take heed ere it becomes too late. John Keffer, ’20. HER FIRST BEAU MAY hurried home from school that night; she didn’t wait for some one to walk home with, because she had to hurry, and she really wanted to be alone to plan for the evening. When she arrived home she found that mother was very cross because the laundress had disappointed her and everything had gone wrong. May tried to get a chance to tell mother about—well,—but she couldn’t get up enough nerve. She went up to her room. What was she going to wear? She went to her clothes closet and took first one dress, then another to the mirror and held it up to her face to see which one showed the blue in her eyes most plainly. She finally decided to wear the blue silk one. She combed her hair, and oh! what pains she took! She arranged it very carefully, pull- ing it down over her forehead, “just like the other girls.” Mother called her and told her that father would not come home until late that night, and that she was going to bed very early because she was so tired. The house was May’s for that evening. May was so excited after dinner because HE said he would be over by seven-thirty. At six-thirty May was entirely dressed to entertain. She had even manicured her finger nails and, “sh-h! she had put some rouge on. Just a little, just like the other girls.” She went into the living-room and straightened the chairs, and she sat down in the Morris chair and admitted to herself that he would like that chair. She thought the time would never pass; she was so nervous and excited she didn’t know what to do. She was counting the minutes until seven-thirty. “Six—Five,” and suddenly the telephone bell rang. She answered it. Yes, it was he. He couldn’t come, because he had too much studying to do. Now she understood why women commit suicide because of broken hearts. _ Margaret Davies, ’21. ENVY I am a small athletic fan, I love all kinds of sports; And I do all I ever can To help make good reports. But, oh! I wish that I could play In games we lose or win, And make a gain like Erke, Ray, Or run a stretch like Jim. In basketball I wish I might, Instead of standing by, Help Zivie and the team to fight The enemy, or die. I envy each strong-built athlete Who does his level best; Who knows a way in which to meet Each great and humble test. One of the fairer sex am I, But yet I have a motive; If in such sports I cannot vie, I yell the “Locomotive.” If on a team girls can’t belong, They still can do their bit, And give a cheer or sing a song; In this we never quit. M. F., ’20. A LOYAL POST There was a boy at East, And he had wondrous skill. Now that he’s not at East, He sketches for us still. He’s tall and dark and straight, He may be six foot eight. Can you guess his name and station ? Ed Vorpe is his appellation. 174 175 176 DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED ART MANY outsiders as well as students of our school, not connected with the art department, have queer ideas as to what the course in arts consists of. Many think that it is entirely drawing and painting, while others believe that it is a class in sewing and embroidering, but such is not the case. As a matter of fact, the course is intended to touch upon as many varieties of applied design and art as possible. The plan is, not to dwell upon any one variety, but to find out in which one has talent, and then to perfect oneself in that particular line in higher schools. The applied work of the art course, in the first year, takes in cross stitch, embroidery and the making of pottery tiles, vases and the like, while in the second year one does the more complicated embroidery and stenciling. Block printing, which has the added attraction of not infre- quent trips to the boys’ manual training rooms, where gluing of blocks and not a little conversation ensues, comes in the third year, after which, last, but most interesting and complicated, comes the making of jewelry. The pleasantness of this is somewhat marred by the themes required on copper and silver, but not enough to outweigh the joy derived. The accompanying photographs give some idea of what has actually been accomplished in our art department. THE WOULD-BE HEROES THE mysterious hour of midnight—a smuggled candle—a cherished paper-covered novel—and to top all a rusty gun which had been triumphantly unearthed from its remote corner in some one’s musty attic—these are things guaranteed to throw any normal boy into trans- ports of delight and to evoke the wildest flights of his youthful im- agination. Thus were the enterprising Bob and Percy, his cousin, propped up in bed with knees drawn nearly up to their chins and tousled heads bent eagerly over the lurid tale of “Writ in Blood.” The flickering light of the candle cast fitful shadows about the room, and the firearm looked particu- larly warlike in contrast with its peaceful resting place, the pillow. In such a manner had these two adventurers been engaged for several hours with the delicious fear of being discovered hovering over them all the while. But healthy bodies cannot stay awake all night, no matter how alluring the prospect might be. Consequently their eyelids grew7 heavier and heavier, and the candle burned lower and lower, until with their minds a confused jumble of robberies, murders, rewards and escapes, they sailed away to the land of dreams. Two ! The last silvery notes of the clock were dying away when Bob suddenly sat up in bed with dilated eyes and hair on end. With none too gentle kicks and with the hoarse whisper of, “Robbers!” he aroused the snoring Percy. The boys listened in breathless suspense to the unmis- takable sounds of some one walking about dowmstairs. “Where’s the gun? I’m goin’ t’ capture them an’ get the reward,” said Bob, as he recalled a similar heroic deed of the infant prodigy in the “dime novel.” “Come on, Percy. They might put our pictures in th’ paper. You’re not afraid, are you?” “N-n-n-no,” chattered the more timid Percy as he slowdy tumbled out of bed. “I-I-I’m n-not a-f-f-fraid, j-jus’ c-c-cold.” The moonlight streaming through the window disclosed a strange and laughable sight, two little white-robed figures stealthily creeping down the broad staircase with the battered old weapon pointed straight ahead of them. They cautiously approached the pantry where light shone through the half open door. Bob suddenly mustering all his courage thrust the muzzle of the gun through the open crack. The startling entry of the fierce-looking firearm was greeted with a shriek and the sound of breaking glass. “Gee! It’s Sally, our cook,” shivered Bob, all his former courage quickly melting away; and the two heroes scurried up the back stairs as if there were a dozen angry cooks at their heels. Frantically shoving the gun far beneath the mattress they dived under the bed-clothes and listened with beating hearts to the volley of w'ords that the terrified Sally hurled at the aroused household. “It’s a wa’ning. It shuah am, missus,” she sobbed, as she picked up the broken fragments of a medicine bottle. “I jus’ came down stai’s to get some pain killah fo’ my toothache when, shuah as I’m a niggah, I done saw a gun a-stickin’ through the doah and pointin’ straight at my haid. It sca’t me most to death. I’se pow’ful afraid it was sperrits. I sho’ly am.” Three o’clock! Peace and quiet once more reigned supreme over the household. Sally at last had been persuaded that it was not “sperrits” but a trick of her imagination or a shadow. The adventurers slumbered peacefully with cherubic countenances. However, the mystery has re- mained unsolved to this day why the two boys were not awakened by the noise and confusion and Sally’s shrieks. 178 Winifred Sommer, ’20. THE CALL OF THE WILD The wind bloweth east, and the wind bloweth west, And the wind bloweth over the sea; And over the meadow, tender and green, It hath wafted the call to me. ’Tis the Call of the Wild! the awakened Wild! That the wind gaily bringeth to me; And it telleth of birds come back from the south, And wild flowers mine eyes long to see. As the magnet attracteth the nail to itself, The Wild draweth me to its heart; Until, throwing all caution away on the wind, I’m ofF to the woods like a hart. And the Wild welcomes me with outstretched arms, As a mother an erring child; And more gladly each year hark I to the call, The joyous Call of the Wild. Jessica Megaw, ’21. ECHOES HAVE you ever stood in a secluded spot among high, resounding rocks, and heard the strange noises which are thrown back to you when you call? I have often wondered what the wild animals think when they hear these sounds for the first time. Are they afraid, and do they run? Perhaps they think it is one of their kin calling for them and set out to find him. What must be their disappointment when they do not find him up there among the rocks! Children hearing echoes for the first time are usually filled with won- der and then with fear, but when these fears are dispelled and they become acquainted they find “Mr. Echo” a most delightful companion. It is like throwing a rubber ball against a wall and catching it as it bounds back. It is great fun when a number are together to call all at once and then see if you can detect your own voice among the others. Another game is to see how often “Mr. Echo” will repeat your words without making a mistake. But “Mr. Echo” isn’t always as pleasing as on these occasions. Have you ever been lost in one of these enchanted or haunted recesses? If you have, and especially if it is growing late, you have undoubtedly experienced many strange feelings. You call and call for help, but all you hear in response is mocking “Mr. Echo” sending back your call. As this weird creature whispers in your ear his mocking words you feel like murdering him. Cold chills run up your back and you want to run and run far, far away from it all. You begin to think of your hapy home and not until you hear your father’s answer and find yourself safe in his arms do you forget insulting “Mr. Echo” and feel happy once more. As you grow older you hear other echoes, echoes of the past. I wonder if the mother watching her children at play does not hear the echoes of her lost childhood and try to put some of her early happiness into the play of her children ? So the echoes must always follow us, some with sad voices, others with happy voices, but with us to the very last. Sara Turcotte ’21 179 ’ IF «TV | OTHER.” said Tommy, as he sat looking at the rain beating I Yl asainst the window, “what would you do if you had a million dollars?” “Oh, I don’t know, son. Why bother thinking about it? It makes one dissatisfied to think of things one hasn’t got.” “Well, I think if I had it,” went on Tommy, “I would buy an auto- mobile and a lot of gasoline and a fine house. Then I could run all around the city and take all my best friends with me, and I could have a lot of parties. If you had another million, mother, what would you do with that?” “Oh, don’t bother me, dear. I am busy sewing and can’t be bothered now.” “Well,” said Tom, “I would buy an aeroplane. They will be all the style soon. I have always thought it would be great fun to fly way up above every one. Oh, mother, do you know what I would do with a nickel?” “Oh, what?” cried his mother, getting impatient. “I would go to the movies. It is so rainy, and I don’t know what else to do. If I had two nickels I would take Helen Mason with me.” “For goodness’ sake, Tommy,” exclaimed his mother, “take a dime and let me alone.” Josephine Lederle, ’21. WATCH YOUR STEP! 3 r I A WAS a slippery morning in January, and the rain was drizzling. I A thin ice covered the sidewalk, and over the ice was water just deep enough to splash nicely with every step, no matter how carefully it was taken. The snow' on top of the buildings was melting, and lovely drops of water descended upon my head now' and then as I walked along. There was absolutely no use for me to run, even though I was a few minutes late, because a hurried step would mean a great splashing and, probably, a miniature swim. I made my w'ay along gingerly, my eyes constantly on the ground watching the feet which meant so much to me that morning. As I turned the corner I saw the car which I knew w'as my only hope for getting to school on time. Being fearful of running as usual, I slid my feet along on the ice as quickly as possible, hoping to get that car. The last person waiting was about to board the car and nothing but a gutter full of water and snow prevented me from being there also. That gutter of water proved rather considerable prevention; however, I took one large step, but instead of arriving safely upon the other side my foot landed right in the middle of the stream. That was bad enough, but on top of it all the car and my last hope of being on time had vanished. There wras nothing to do but w'ait for the next one. In the meantime passing automobiles splashed mud all around, and I think I had my full share of it. At last the car came. It crawled along as slowly as possible, as street cars have the habit of doing when one is in a hurry. As I was turning up the walk towards school I congratulated myself on at least not having fallen. There is an old saying, “Pride goeth before a fall,” and just then I made a very good literal example. Once inside the building I hurried up the stairs which, happily, were not slippery, and just got inside the door before the tardy bell rang. Then I vaguely remembered hearing some one say, “Well, you just got here on the last scratch!” Dorothy Hahn, ’20. iso THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY IT had always been Doris Moore’s ambition to be something in her class—to do something spectacular and great for her school. Day after day slipped by, but the opportunity never seemed to come. Doris’s parents were well off, and Doris had ample spending money, but still she was not popular in her class. The principal reason was her selfishness. On many occasions her companions had asked her to do some slight service for them, but Doris was always too busy, or had some other excuse ready. These little golden opportunities renewed, day after day, never concerned Doris. Then, near the end of her Junior year, the chance Doris had been longing for came. A trophy was offered to the school which sold the greatest amount of Thrift Stamps, and also a medal was offered to the individual pupil selling the greatest number. “Now,” thought Doris, “I shall easily win first place, for Dad has many rich friends who will sub- scribe, and then, maybe, I shall be elected class president.” Doris didn’t act immediately—she thought it more fun to look on at first, and in the end surprise every one. The last week of the campaign Doris started out. The first wealthy friend she visited informed her that he had given his subscription to some one else. This rather surprised Doris, but she passed lightly over it and went to the next person on her list. Here it was the same. From house to house she traveled with the same results. Almost in tears, Doris started down a street, the people of which she did not know. Inevitably she received the same answer. By this time she was cross and weary, but she kept doggedly on. Finally at one house, upon her inquiry, she found the woman had not yet bought Stamps. “Well, you must buy some from me at once; it is your duty to your country,” she said, crossly. “Is that so?” the woman replied. “Since when must I do what you tell me? I wouldn’t buy from you if you were the last person around, and I think there are children in the neighborhood who will come,” and she slammed the door in Doris’s face. This was the climax. Doris rushed home and wept bitterly. The following week results were announced. Centerville High (Doris’s school) did not have the largest number of sales—a few more sales would have put them ahead. However, one of the pupils (Doris’s bitterest enemy) had sold more stamps than any one else in the city. Doris was disgusted. She had lost! When her opportunity had come she had not been ready! That night, in looking over an old book, she found this written in it: “Though the opportunity for great deeds may never come, the opportunitv for good deeds is renewed for us day by day.” “I guess that’s so,” she mused. Then, seeing her mother sewing a button on her coat, “Mother,” she called with a smile, “I’ll do that.” Perhaps her opportunity had not been entirely lost after all, for she had learned one lesson so as never to forget it. Silvia Wunderlich, ’21. 181 THE CURE HERE you go again, stamping through this kitchen with the cake I just in the oven,” Mrs. Boyer raised her plump, floury hands in distress. “I’m not stamping, Gran’ma. It’s Mrs. Bike, an’ she can’t help it; she’s got the rheumatism so bad.” “Alice Thayer! What happens to little girls who don’t tell the truth?” Mrs. Boyer tried to sound strict, but under all her assumed severity was a great anxiety. “I’m telling the truth. Mrs. Bike and me came in to help you.” Then, recognizing the cookie tin, “Oh, Gran’ma, will y’u let me cut cookies?” “Yes, yes, child,” trying to get Alice’s mind off Mrs. Bike, “run and wash your hands.” Alice skipped merrily over to the low kitchen sink, and in a second there was a great splashing of water. “Shall Gra’ma come and help you, dear?” Mrs. Boyer called, as she shut the oven door. “No, thanks, Mrs. Tapkins is helping me.” “Who?” Mrs. Boyer’s voice was plainly troubled. “Why, Mrs. Tapkins. She’s Mrs. Bike’s cousin, you know, and she lives over here near the sink,” Alice explained. “Now, I’ll have no more of this nonsense. You know as well as I do that there’s no one in this kitchen but you and me.” “ ’n’ Mrs. Bike, ’n’ Mrs. Tapkins,” Alice supplemented. “Oh, dear, oh, dear, I shouldn’t uv undertook it in the first place, with her mother and father so far away,” Mrs. Boyer was speaking half aloud and half to herself. “Now, you stay here like a good girl while Gra’ma goes out to the barn to speak to your gran’father.” “Yes, I can’t do a thing with her. She just goes on about some woman she calls Tike or Pike or some such name,” Mrs. Boyer’s voice ended in a wail. A smile played over the rough, easy-going face of the tall man whose shoulders were stooped with work and age. “Now, ma, I wouldn’t be so hard on the young un’ if I wuz you,” he drawled. “Well, with her talkin’ a blue streak to some one that ain’t there at all, I think it was time somethin’ was done. We shouldn’t uv agreed to take her while her father and mother went on that trip. Our children was never that way.” “You just go in the house, and when I get this last bit of hay pitched I’ll come in an’ take care of her.” Mr. Boyer picked up the pitchpork and began stacking the hay with slow and regular strokes. A week had passed, but instead of causing Alice to forget Mrs. Bike, Mrs. Boyer was introduced to many friends of Mrs. Bike. There was Mrs. Crepinjack and Mrs. Sevenoak and ever so many others. Finally Mrs. Boyer decided that Alice was too much alone. So she invited some children who lived down the road to spend the day with her. But Alice lost her usual loquaciousness and was quiet and bashful with these children who played different games from any she had ever known. That night after Alice was in bed, Mrs. Boyer had another council with her husband. “I tell you, Herb, there’s something ails that child. She isn’t like others. I noticed that today.” “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her. She’s smarter’n other kids, that’s all; but if it ud make you easier you could have Dr. Starkweather look her over.” Here Mr. Boyer emptied his pipe prepara- tory to retiring. ill The next day was Sunday. So it was not until Monday that Mr. Boyer hitched up the surrey and with Alice on his lap and Mrs. Boyer sitting beside him, they drove to town. After Mrs. Boyer had explained the symptoms to the doctor, he and Alice had a private interview. When the visit was over Dr. Starkweather accompanied her to the carriage where her grandmother and grandfather were waiting. “She doesn’t even need a spring tonic,” the doctor called to Mrs. Boyer. “And just think,” Alice already seated was wiggling with joy, “Dr. Starkweather is going to cure Mrs. Bike’s rheumatism.” Portia Goulder, ’20. A FOREST POOL In the forest is a pool Where the trees make shadows cool; Where the shy-eyed deer look through, Watching keen for hunters few, And the owl with large round eyes Marks each tiny bird that flies. In thy waters, gentle pool— Waters deep and dark and cool— Bright-hued fish with colors rare, Are darting here and darting there, In and round you, forest pool, God’s wild creatures go to school. Winifred Kirby, ’22. THE DESERT Have you slept in a tent alone—a tent Out under the desert sky, Where a thousand desert miles All silent ’round you lie? The dust of the iEon of Ages dead, And the Peoples that wandered by. Have you looked in the desert’s painted cup? Have you smelled at dawn the wild sage musk? Have you seen the lightning flashing up From the ground in the desert dusk? Have you heard the song in the desert low (Like the undertone of a wordless rhyme) ? Have you watched the glory of colors glow In its marvel of blossom time? If you have, then you know, for you’ve felt its spell, The lure of the desert land, If you have not, then I could not tell— For you could not understand. 183 Elinor Badger, ’21. DEBATES THIS year East witnessed a revival of the- ancient sport of debating. In the school year of 1918-19 interest in debating seemed to die out, but this year, 1919-20, it staged a come-back, largely through the efforts of Mr. Replogle and Miss O’Grady. Mr. Replogle, as coach of both teams, deserves a word of thanks for the way he worked with them and inspired them with that old, East, never-say-die spirit; while Miss O’Grady kindly consented to listen to our speeches and give us any help in their presentation that we might need. East vs. Lincoln On Jan. 16, East met Lincoln in a debate on the question: “Resolved, that Congress shall create a Department of Education with a Secretary of Education as authorized by the Smith-Towner educational bill, H. R. 7 and Senate 1017.” The teams were : East, Affirmative Arthur Scharfeld, Captain Samuel Wellman Arthur Dettlebach Ernest Welker, Alternate Lincoln, Negative Theodore Newcomb, Leader Maynard Veber Ray Gibbons Lloyd Keller, Alternate In spite of the fact that none of the members of the team had had any previous experience in debating, our boys put up an excellent con- structive argument. In this debate, however, it was a case of one team putting up a good argument, and another team putting up a better one. Our team put up a splendid argument, but Lincoln’s was even better, a fact that was reflected in the unanimous decision that was given to Lincoln. East-East Tech Debate East has the negative of the question: “Resolved, that the State of Ohio grant municipalities self-government in taxation, with a constitu- tional limitation on their borrowing capacity, constitutionality conceded.” Our team is as follows: Gordon Groth George Goodman Arthur Petersilge Arthur Scharfeld Arthur Petersilge, ’20. 1 4 1S5 A UttU ttonapnap now attb tljpn, 3Ja rpliatjpb by tbp bpat of mptt. —AnonyauiuB 1S6 BLANK (?)

Yes, we even remember when he came amongst us wearing short trousers and starred in Mr. Haber’s algebra class. But, oh! in his senior year. To use the words of that beautiful song, “You’d be surprised.” Lynn Waldorf: As we look over this noble youth’s career we are almost tempted into thinking of the blushing, shrinking violet. Verily, we speak the truth; but, alas! that was before he was a Senior. We have heard rumors but do not know whether they are true or false. Personally, we will not give him the benefit of the doubt. He is one of the most confirmed woman haters we have ever known, but we are looking forward to the day when the wedding bells will peal out all over the city. P. S.—He always sits in the bald-headed row. John Keffer: 5 feet 9 inches. Weight 145. Although in the far dim past his ancestors might have lived in caves, Johnny still retains some of their brutal, but, nevertheless, successful methods. Enough has been said of his ambition. Now, John, we all know of your successful career, but how about that one disappointment? March 20, 1920. Go ahead! Ask him ! But why blight this young bud ? Better that the unknown past be buried beneath the spreading chestnut tree. You’re a better man than I am with a Jane. Who said Johnny wasn’t a regular Houdini with a pale purple past? Pope: So young and innocent doth Ervin appear, with that natural flush of manly beauty on his delicate features. But, alas! he is a Mormon. Two wives with but a single thought—Ervin. It’s a deep thought, all right, and all we can authoritatively say is, “Will they still love him?” He must make it a fifty-fifty proposition. Look forward to the future, Erv. Remember the law, take your choice. Cook: Here is a fair young cherub with such babyish smiles and silken blond locks. We can here state that you can’t tell by appearances, he’s so likably different. The damsels gaze at him and sigh. Oh, why art thou so bashful? He fears the awful girl. We predict many good times for James in the future; being the treasurer of the noble senior class he is in funds at will. Careful, Jim, we don’t care to fight it out. You win. Hardie: Somewhere beneath the somber and sober aspect overshadowing this dignified senior’s face there sparkles an ever burning fire of he vampishness. He doesn’t talk very much, but when you get him alone he speaks directly to the point. Oh, Wallace Gordon has learned the ways of the world; never fear, his eyes are open. Don’t rush, girls; put your name, address and picture in an envelope and mail to 2501 Wellington. His secretary of future engagements will promptly reply. Sturdy: Women to the right; women to the left; women around him. How does he do it? Simple enough. There is charged within his magnetic soul such an abundant store of electricity and wide-awake- ness that women are drawn to him. We don’t begrudge that personal magnetism of yours, George; we envy you for it. Solomon had a thousand wives, Sturdy, dear; why can’t you be the little record- iss breaker? Sol was without a wife when he was in his senior year at the village high school where he attended. Look at the head start you have. Meyers: From a bashful, self-conscious little flat within the past four years he has grown to be such a changed youth. As an athlete he thrills one with his prowess, and at a dance they are awed by his gentleness. With such a dual character we predict a great future for him. Why, think of the little wife that will bless his home, and the ice man will deliver the frozen HO and leave pronto. Might is right. Blecher: Is there a student at East so dead that he hasn’t heard of our own little Red? Here is a mighty fine chap who has played many a leading role in the school activities. But, like others, he has his faults. At our dances ’tis a pitiful sight to see him daintily and gracefully tripping through a one-step, or lumbering heavily, 200 lbs., through a dreamy home waltz. Encore—his partner hath fainted; the strain was too great. J. D. Arthur: Methinks this is a peculiar lad, for oft times we see him flittering and twittering round the girls like an irresponsible little canary bird. He doth bring his offering of gum and candy and bestow them recklessly upon his favorites. Now, boy, why all the ado about nothing? Remember, even though the women are decorative, they are by no means essential to a senior’s well-being. Don’t toy with dyna- mite, John. Rollin Snider: He is advertised on the billboards as the lad with the marcelled hair. Before going any farther we wish to say that he has no more vices than a centipede has legs. Here is a little bit of Shakespearean advice f. o. b.: “Not wisely but too well.” Keep it up. Heinz’s trademark is known all over the world (57 varieties, blondes, brunettes, hennes, etc.). Arthur Petersilge: What is that which scintillates on yon horizon ? Fear not, ’tis Arthur. He guides us past port (and sherry, too) as a light-house gives forth its cheery, ruddy glow, and keeps us off of rock bottom (69, 70, 71). We ask you, How does he do it? We always felt as sorry as Arthur did when he received less than ninety in any subject. In fact, we loaned him our handkerchief once. The “Snappy Stories” above were handed in anonymously, and we take the liberty of printing them. While the spotlight is being thrown on their upright character we hope that they will not grieve too much over it and pine away their hearts in sadness. If you were not insulted it was probably an oversight on the writer’s part, but don’t worry; we will have another Annual next year.

Don’t take your pretzels to class. Some selfish teachers insist upon half for themselves. 8. Don’t tip the waiter. 9. Help yourself to everybody else’s lunch if they aren’t there. 10.

To the north, the south, the east and the west, Sailed this sailor, with never a fear. At last came a trip to his own home town, Joy—unequaled bliss! Again he would see his sweetheart dear— Perhaps he could steal a kiss. But, readers—here a story lies Which caused the lad some great surprise, The girl he left was very slim, Quite slim—with dark blue eyes. How eagerly he donned his hat, And to his sweetheart’s door He carried flowers, candy, books, And gifts from abroad galore. He thought again of their last sweet talk. He’d said, “You’ll wait for me?” “I’ll wait and wait and wait and wait,” Said she, “I wait,” said she. And thinking thus he heard her step Advancing from the stair. Ah! Just one little moment more, And she would be right there. She came. 0 horrors! What a sight! Was this the girl he left? This great, stout, awkward, bounding girl— Was this his slim Yvette? He cried, “My own—how stout you’ve grown!” His ardor some abated. She said, “Why, yes, my own sweet man, You see that I have weighted.” Charles Bryson, ’22.

FRENCHIE’S LAMENT I fear I’ll never parlezvous, Nor roll my R’s as Frenchmen do; The reason why is plain to vue, I’m Scotch or English through and through.

I met her at the Senior Prom ; A fairer face, a finer form I never saw. She took my heart right from the start, Pierced deeply with young Cupid’s dart. The little vamp. Across the floor I caught her glance; She smiled, I fell into a trance. My knees grew weak. An introduction I then sought; Although I trembled at the thought, Yet I did dare. I let no grass grow 'neath my feet; I told her she looked very sweet. Oh, happy hour! She murmured gently, “Is that so f Bill told me that an hour ago.” Oh, cruel words! I asked, “Who may Bill be, I pray?” She answered, “He’s my fiance.” Then lights grew dim. P. S. Relentless world, why must it be That you should be so cruel to me? You do me wrong. Geo, Goodman, ’20. AN ODD LINEUP THE game opened with Molasses at the stick. Smallpox was catching. Cigar was in the box wdth plenty of smoke. Horn was on first base and Fiddle on second, backed by Corn in the field. He made it hot for LTmpire Apple, who was rotten. Ax came to bat and chopped. Cigar let Brick walk, and Sawdust filled the bases. Song made a hit, and Twenty made a score. Cigar went out, and Balloon started to pitch, but he went straight up. Then Cherry tried it, but he was wild. Old Ice kept cool in the game until he was hit by a pitched ball, and then you ought to have heard Ice cream. Cabbage had a good head and kept quiet. Grass covered lots of ground in the field, and the crowd cheered loudly when Spider caught the fly. Bread loafed on third and pumped Organ who played fast and put Light out. In the fifth inning Wind began to blow about what he could do; Hammer began to knock and Trees began to leave. The way they roasted Peanuts was a fright. Knife was put out for cutting first base. Lightning finished pitching the game, and he struck out six men. In the ninth inning Apple told Fiddle to take his base, then Song made another hit. Trombone made a slide and Meat was put out at the plate. There was a great deal of betting on the game, but Soap cleaned up. The score was one to nothing-. Door said if he had been pitching he would have shut them out. Harold Schiltneck, ’20. 210 What’s your name now?

Your last is, indeed, a very weighty question, and would need a heavy sitting with a lapse of time. Dear Mrs. Axwell: A friend of mine informed me that it is very bad form to chew more than six sticks of gum at one time. Kindly inform me if this is the truth. Jean Keim. It all depends on the size of your mouth. My Dear Mrs. Axwell: My History teacher is always asking the most foolish questions. Today he asked us how many teeth an elephant has. Could you answer this for me? Blue Eyes. Certainly. That’s very simple. An elephant has a trunkful. Please don’t bother us with Mr. Ziegler’s questions any more. Dear Mrs. Axwell: I nearly got caught smoking by the principal of the school yesterday. Could you recommmend me to a good smokeless tobacco? Phil Sloan. We would recommend chewing tobacco. Dear Mrs. Axwell: I am a regular subscriber to your journal and enjoy reading your column very much. I have a very funny History teacher, who is always asking funny questions. Please answer this one if you can: What animal is satisfied with the least nourishment? James Q. Noble. The question was undoubtedly asked by Mr. Ziegler. The animal in question is the moth. He eats nothing but holes. Dear Mrs. Axwell: A friend of mine once said that love was like chemistry. Kindly give me the origin of this simile. Dorothy Sparrow. This expression probably came from the fact that “lower the gas, the greater the pressure.” 212 B. Flat. Dear Mrs. Axwell: Why do they call Elly Hart “Wood Alcohol”? Because he has some kick. (When it comes to football.) Dear Mrs. Axwell: Kindly solve this problem for me. It was given as an assignment by Mr. Smith, the English Teacher: “What is the difference between a farmer, a billiard player, a sexton and a gentleman ?” Serious Senior. I’m ashamed of a senior who could’nt answer that. It’s very simple. You see a farmer minds his peas, a billiard player his cues, a sexton nis keys and pews, and a gentleman his p’s and q’s. Dear Mrs. Axwell: When a young man calls on me and during the course of the evening asks me if I save stamps, what should I reply? Pittsburg. We suggest that you see W. G. H. in the matter. Having been a collector, he would probably advise you on the technicality of the case. NOT QUITE A look, a word, She was a bird. I grabbed her in a flash.

Old East High I seemed to see; It looked quite different, though, to me. The fence of iron was not there, And neither were our trees so fair. Instead of autos on the street, Aeroplanes our eyes did greet. A large plane stopped, two girls jumped out, And for their books they looked about. Then a porter came along And took the books where they belong. Since the elevator needed repairs, The girls went up the moving stairs; And after this good speedy ride A maid put arctics and wraps aside. Off to class they journeyed then, And every one received a ten. In cushioned chairs they all reclined, And all the class was quite refined. No teacher said, “See me here, You need some extra work, I fear.” Those awful days had gone to flight When after school we must recite. After each class they danced and played The two girls then a journey made To a marble palace standing near, For all the trophies were stowed here. After one of the big rallies They had choice of a lunch like Halle’s, Or one of those you serve yourself, Taking it from Tomlinson’s shelf. I woke, and to my awful fright Found it was no longer night. I hurried, for ’twas very late! And went back to my dreaded fate Of staying tenth hour after school Just to learn some Latin rule. I thought of what it might soon be In years to come, say, Nineteen Fifty. Grace Benfield, '22. WHY? When walking ’long a shady lane Which wends it rambling way Through grove of pine, so tall and grand, You stop, and fain would stay. For there you see them, straight and strong, But soon you find your eye Upon a crippled trunk, all bent And gnarled—you wonder why. And even in your school-day life, You cannot help but trace The traits of character portrayed In each and every face. In some you read the straight and strong, O’er some you stop to sigh, And every time you find the small And mean—you wonder why. Ruth Nienhuser, ’20. 224 225 19 We have an entirely new club, known as the Poster Club, We wish you success, artists, the “spirit of work.” 12 Seniors organize. Evidently our “high and mighties” believe in the motto, “The early bird catches the worm.” Wonder what their “worm” is! 15 That spirit, before mentioned, is in full swing now. CALENDAR 7 Great expectations! 8 Grand (?) opening of all public schools. 9 It is really the truth; school has begun once more. We begin to feel 26 A preparedness rally for the first football game of the season. Johan- nes Keffer displays his wonderful mathematical power. Who taught him so much? Could it be Miss Kraft? 27 Boom! Rah! East High! The team starts off just like a sky-rocket by beating Heights 13—0. 2 The Blue and Gold makes its debut; Helen Hopkins, editor. Safety First Parade. The East battalion graces the procession. 4 Football. East 20, Lincoln 0. 10 Football. East 32, Glenville 0. Ray Ehrke makes a 95-yard dash. Great work, Ray! 16 We commence to feel a great throb of East High spirit. Something must be in store for us. 17 Ah! we know what that feeling is. ’Tis the approach of the Tech game. 11 A. M. A peppy rally. A new version of “Liza Jane” by Mr. Davis. Pat Hayes spurs us on to victory. (Shall we ever forget that speech?) We cheer ourselves hoarse. And leave, determined to win that game. 8 P. M. Senior-Sophomore Reception. Wasn’t Ralph just so roman- tice about his “Revo-oree in Pu-u-r-rple” 7 18 Football. East 14, East Tech 6. Our boys sure did get the bacon this time, even though prices are high. 19 All East High students feel full of pep, and today is Sunday! They just can’t get rid of that feeling of victory. 20 Some rally. We have a chance to let off some of our excess energy in yells and songs. Mr. Davis sings the last verse of “Liza Jane.” Every one is glad he didn’t have to change his name. 25 Football. East 0, Shaw 0. Too much confidence. 27 The 12A class holds a meeting to decide a matter of vast importance to no one but themselves, namely, to set a date for the Senior Prom. After much discussion as to a formal or informal, and with many dark threats from the gentlemen (?) in the crowd, December 5 is decided on as THE day. 28 The Shaw art department shows its ability on our front steps, in honor of the game in which they managed to tie with East. 31 Another new club! East certainly is progressing. This new one is second only to the Glee Club in its ability to make a noise. Oh, yes, it is the Rooters’ Club. Spook Night. 1 Football. East 16, Longwood 0. 3 Better Speech Week begins. No more “aint’s,” “I done it’s” or ‘Til say so’s” for a week at the most. Oh, beg pardon, we mean at the least. Auditorium. Speeches by Miss Sanderson, Head of the English department, and Dr. Thomas, Supervisor of English in the schools of Cleveland. 6 Better Speech playlet. The girls show the school that it takes a great deal of effort to keep perfect English at one’s command. 7 A rally! A fine program is given, with Mr. Hogan presiding. Mr. Eisenhauer, and Mr. Blossom, director of public welfare, speak to us. Senior Dance. 8 Football. East 7, U. S. 7. Nine rah’s for the Rooters’ Club. 10 The Fisk Jubilee Singers entertain us with Southern songs. 11 Armistice Day. We expect a day of vacation, but no such luck. 14 Central Rally. For some reason the school lacks its usual pep. School Dance. Come, all ye students of old East High, and join our merry crowd on Friday afternoons. 15 “No other school can make us feel cast down.” We have a golden opportunity to prove this. Football. East 7, Central 10. 21 Our artists, namely the Poster Club, have a dance. 22 Football. East 14, West Tech 0. It was the last but, by no means, the least game. 26 Rhetoricals. Several of our classmates show their ability. 27 Turkey Day. No school. 28 Another day of freedom. This is a wonderful world. 29 Mr. Lothman gives a dinner for the teachers. Wouldn’t it be nice to be a teacher, too? 3 The 11A girls surpass the Senior girls in basketball. The Senior boys, however, maintain their glory. 5 12A Dance, in our own gym. Every one has a good time. 9 Musicale, given by our very own East High Orchestra. It certainly seems good to have such excellent musicians. 12 Athenaeum spread for football boys. A memorable day in the life of a certain young gentleman who makes a declaration that he will live in bachelordom forever more. What is the matter with Berea, Elly? The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra gives East a sample of their ability. Oh, that Indian War Dance! 19 Honor Roll. Harriet Hippard and Frieda Katz tie for first honors, both having an average of 96.75. Christmas Rhetoricals—“The Old Lady Shows Her Medals.” What a fine, big, burly Scotchman Ray Wahl does make! 20 The Holiday Season begins. 22 Winners in Plain Dealer Christmas Story Contest announced. Sylvia Wunderlich receives first prize of $50; Portia Goulder, third prize, $25. Another leaf added to our crown of laurels. 25 Just one guess as to what day this is. 31 The end of an almost perfect year! 1 A brand new year, some more brand new resolutions, but a rather old system of lighting—candles. That is, the East End is forced to adopt it. 2 Lights at last. 9 Basketball. East 9, Longwood 16. Rather a bad beginning, but it is traditional that when East loses its grip it bucks up and starts to fight, and never stops until it has WON. Let us hope that is the case this time. 13 The Annual comes out victorious. Six hundred subscriptions are secured. Great praise is due Miss Kraft, who so valiantly assailed each poor creature who had not subscribed. 16 East-Lincoln Debate. Lincoln wins. Basketball. East 19, West Tech 6. 22 11 A. M. Rally for Central game. The Dean of Dartmouth College speaks to us. He makes the statement that he feels more at home at East High than he has since he left his own home. We feel quite complimented, we assure you, Dean Leacock. 8 P. M. Basketball. East 13, Central 6. Revenge is sweet! East hasn’t forgotten what you did to it in football, Central. 23 An impromptu rally. Wonder how Central feels today. Dansante! Friendship Club. 26 “Come on, fellows, get in the skating races,” so says Major Landis. 12 A banquet, and our Farmer was there in his native green costume. 27 Oh, Miss Kraft, won’t you be glad to get rid of that sixth hour Geometry class? 28 End of the term! Good-by, 12A’s, East High wishes you the best of luck out in the cruel, cold world. 29 Commencement. Helen Hopkins is valedictorian of the February ’20 class; Eugenie Cummings receives second honors. Yes, “Uncle” received a diploma, too. The class presents a bronze tablet to the school in honor of the four boys of East who gave their lives for their country. 30 Basketball. East 13, South 17. 31 Hurray! Another victory for East in the skating races. Frank Hodubski wins Senior race. 229 2 Another new term. Let’s do our best this time. We have with us—several of the graduates, taking a P. G. course. 3 It’s too bad, Johnny, too bad you lost your fountain pen. 4 Speaking of a League of Notions, the Annual Board surpasses them all. 6 Basketball. East 16, Glenville 12. 11 Annual Board meeting; evidently two of the members believe in “Better late than never.” 12 We really believe our girls are going to be regular suffragettes, for they are wearing stiff collars, bright yellow ties and men’s shoes. Oh, you say it is the Laurean initiation. Pardon, mademoiselles, we really were becoming quite alarmed. Great playing, boys! Again you upset the proverbial “ dope ” by beating West Commerce 14—11. 13 Who said Friday the thirteenth is unlucky? Not for East. Our team, is again in the race with South, West and Central for Senate Basket- ball championship. The Blue and Gold resumes publication; Allison Neff and Ralph Cox, joint editors. 14 Wasn’t that the sweetest valentine, Elly? The boys on our swimming team certainly are “water sprites.” They outswim the University School team 43—25. Taylor Nelson, of East, takes away the record of Klump of University. 17 Life is getting so monotonous. We long for something new. 19 The Athemeum girls follow in the footsteps of their Laurean sisters. They appear in gentlemen’s attire; they wear shirts instead of collars, and add a bit of color to their make-up by sticking, in their hair, a green feather at a forty-five degree angle with their head. 20 Due to the fact that the football sweaters did not arrive, our hopes for a rally are crushed to the ground. We are promised the Annual play. That is some consolation, anyway. Basketball. East 17, Lincoln 15. 21 Swimming Meet. East 41, Shaw 26, U. S. 25, East Tech 5, Heights 0. Fine work, swimmers! 22 Cherry Tree Day. 23 We have a day off in honor of the “Father of our Country.” 25 A few of the teachers who are in the city this week visit East. 26 Another disappointment—waiting for the “speaker who never arrived.” Swimming Meet. East 30, Case 35. We would like some heat in the Auditorium, first period, if you please. 230 27 2 At last a rally! John Arthur presents the swimming cup to Major Landis. Mr. I. W. Baker of the Guardian Bank presents the skating cup to Mr. Day, who in turn presents it to our own Mr. Rankin. Two cups in one day. O-oh, we’ll soon have a whole silver tea set. 3 The sale of Annual play tickets and Basketball tickets is booming. 5 11 A. M. Professor Keffer’s pupils graduate with honors. They are tried out to see which one is the most fit for the dignified position which Johannus is evacuating. Smoke census announced. 8 P. M. Victorious again. Basketball. East 14, East Tech 9. Did you see that look Jim Noble gave the Tech fans each time our team scored? 6 The Newman Studio does a rushing business. 8 John Stewart is officially announced cheer leader, with Charles Stevens as his assistant. Another Johnny! Who ate peanuts up in the dining room on the fourth floor, the seventh period? 10 The 12A’s insist they will not be sandwiched in between the P. G.’s and the 12B’s in the rogues’ gallery. 12 Basketball. East 16, West 12. The decisive game. 13 East wins swimming meet. South wins from West Commerce, thereby tying with East for Senate Championship. 15 Teachers sing—“A Comedy of Errors.” Never mind, we like you all the better for doing it. 16 Two of our gentlemen show their pugilistic ability. Who were they? We would rather not tell. 17 More urgency for sale of Annual Play tickets. 18 First presentation of “It Pays to Advertise”—a great success. 19 Was there ever such a play at East? Words cannot express its greatness. 22 Doomsday! Report cards are out. The little yellow birds flit gleefully about. 24 Scandal. Wallace Gordon—gives up his lunch period so that he may sit at the same table in the library with a certain young lady. Basketball. East 19, U. S. 14. 25 Spring is here and so is the fever. 231 5 Everybody happy. Sure. Why? Think it over. 7 Was a rumor that some one saw “Shorty” Groth with long pants on. He was seen on Euclid Avenue accompanied by_________________ This is just a rumor. 8 Ellie Hart got on honor roll. 13 Big trade for the nicotine venders. One-third of the school smokes Omars. Hollander Drug gets in new supply. 14 Tramped all over every one's feet in the gym. Did you see some of the wicked strangle holds? 17 Hexter did some work for the Annual today. Yea, honest. 19 Liar de luxe contest called off. B. and G. unable to buy the prize as Cox ate a heavy lunch the day before. 20 Swimming team expects to go to Pittsburg. Careful fellows! 22 Debating team eating dictionaries to keep in trim. 23 Regular skirmish for the attack. It did some good, for we won. Score was the same as the well-known shoe polish. 26 Still recovering from the 12B dance. Can you imagine; no chaperons. 28 Plea for more track men. 30 Here it is. What; why “The African Brunette Babies” are giving their performance tonight. Sturdy was carrying his massage cream on the hip in the form of 2 in 1 shoe polish. Big time the whole day foah it suah weh some shoa. l :!c FARE-WELL rbaritg, a plant itrnndg uapii. —(Somjjpr.

The Plain Dealer was born in Cleveland. In the seventy-seven years that have elapsed since that memorable time both Cleveland and The Plain Dealer have en- joyed a tremendous growth. They have grown together—Cleveland to a thriving metropolitan city—The Plain Dealer to the dominant newspaper of Northern Ohio. For 77 years The Plain Dealer and the people of Cleveland have walked hand-in- hand with progress. Today they stand supreme—each having confidence in, and helping the other.
