GHS 'i A Review of The School Year Inasmuch as very few human beings are able to determine just exactly what progress is, and since success is a term which only few dare to use, we feel that it would be rather presumptuous on our part if we sat down and labeled a year as successful or marking progress in the history of the school. We can but reflect upon the many sides of the life of East High School and endeavor to point out the instances in which rather outstanding accomplishments have been made and to single out examples which devote the trend of scholastic effort and under- graduate activity at East High School. To the outsider the most important feature of the year in the high school has been the quartering of some twenty-eight hundred of Rochester's youngest and finest in a building with an original capacity of a thousand, assisted by a beaver-boarded gum factory. To us on the inside, the year has stood out in this regard as an example of well-planned manipulation of equipment, the situa- tion being so skillfully managed that the over-crowding, that constant source of parental lament, seems only evident during the five minute interval between classes and at the double period when pupils are herded into the lunchroom for a hasty repast. This problem has only a few more years to run, we pray. But at some future time people will look back and marvel at the administrational feat which is passing before our eyes to-day. A few noticeable changes, necessitated by the influx of Rochester's youth will be credited to the year 1921-9.2. The Annex opened in the fall with a splendid equipment for technical courses, making possible the enlargement of the lunch- room at the main building. Large rooms have been cut up into small recitation rooms, and the teaching staff has been augmented to take care of the additional classes. School activities have had a flourishing year. The athletic teams have been of a quality representative of the standard of the school. Returning to a five- cent rate, the Clarion has enjoyed a year of service to the school and a record- breaking circulation giving evidence of the pupils' appreciation of their news- paper. The band and orchestra have been established as vital parts of the school's assembly program. The supply store has given an ever-increasing service to the school. The thrift campaign, at the present writing, promises to be a most valuable item in the year's achievement. We could mention new clubs which have sprung up and organizations which have languished. Enough has been said, however. The year 1921-22 has almost come to a close. It will rank, we feel, as significant, when recorded in the annals of our school. ROBERT T. LANSDALE. Page 20 MQ, 2,
