September, 1940 Y-Seniors at last, and a glorious year of supremacy ahead. As soon as schedules were settled, the newly elected Senior Council, lirst of its kind in East High, convened to elect nominees for class oflicers. Then followed an exciting campaign: after what seemed an endless counting and tallying of votes, it was found that Kenneth Bacon was president: VVallace Font, vice-president: June Stevenson, secretary: Irving Spalty, treasurerg and Janet Van Niel, social chairman. The Senior Council then concerned itself with the election of the Orient staff. From a list of seniors, ready, willing, and able to serve, they elected: Anthony Caliri, editor-in-chief: Richard Anderson, photography manager: VVilliam Bondi, circulation manager, George Gage, advertising manager: and Loretta Griffith, art editor. Nleanwhile Janet Van Niel and her committee were very busily planning a Christmas party. The members of the Class of 19-ll did not confine themselves to class activities. Three seniors were elected oflicers in the student government while others were chosen as heads of standing com- mittees in Congress. The Clzzrfozi was revived under the leadership of the seniors. Altrud lietz and VVallace Font as guardian of the flag and standard bearer, respectively, show that scholarship also played a part in our lives. This active class started the new year off with a bang by presenting the play, Young April. Under lVlr. Dolan's direction this comedy was a huge success, and will be remembered by everyone for the splendid acting and beautiful scenery. The last few months which the Class of 19-ll spent in lfast lligh School sped quickly away, and examinations and graduation were upon them before long. With mingled feelings of joy and sorrow they were dubbed knights and given diplomas by Mr. VVolgast. ADVISIQRS Miss ANNETTH M. O'Nia1L AND MR.

These timid souls were the future knights of 19-11 beginning their apprenticeship at East High School under the supervision of Mr. Harris. During this hrst year, they zealously applied themselves to their books, for the thrill and glamor of high school had not yet worn off. Several times lofty seniors, inhabitants of another planet, descended upon these freshmen to sell tickets to the Frolics. 1n June Miss Bassett and Mr. lVlerrell came to explain the courses which were olfered to sophomores. Aside from these, connections with the main building were few. ln September, 1938, a crowd of less eager, more worldly students approached the portals of the liast High School on Alexander Street. Gone were the bookbags ofthe freshman days. They were sophomores now pages to the senior knights. For the first time the Roman State, the Science Club, and the Modern Language Clubs assumed a tangible meaning, for these progressive students began to enlarge their horizons through extra-curricular activities. The Constitutional Convention, the Frolics of 1938, and the choir soon discovered the latent talents in the Class of 1941. 'Way back in 1939, A.D., the Class of 19-11, ascending one step toward knighthood as Squires, made history by organizing a junior class. The proud ollicers were: Ellen Maier, president: lietty Pearson, vice-president: Gladys Reinhardt, secretary, Anita Sheldon, treasurer, and Robert Pearson, social chairman. Miss 0'Neil and Mr. lVlcKie were wisely chosen as advisers. Under these able ollicials a junior party was planned, and a gala aH'air it wasfsocial dancing, square dancing, a jitterbug contest, singing, a variety show, ping pong, and refreshments. Nineteen thirty-nine also marks the return ofa student government, and in this democratic organization many juniors were prominent. 12
