ITH the beginning of the school year last fall, we were in- troduced to -a new member of East High, Mr. Burton, our principal. The manner in which he has affiliated himself with our school, its customs, and its students is indeed remarkable. New customs and new rules have been inaugurated, to be sure, but surely there are none about which we can complain. The most notable innovation is that of the Students' Council which gives the pupils an opportunity to direct as well as participate in the activities of the school. Certainly appreciation is heartily felt for tl1e interest, the co-opera- tion, and the tactful guidance of Mr. Burton in all school affairs and op- portunity is thus taken to express to him our gratitude for his val- uable assistance during the past year.

Among the many events the class of 1919 will have to re- member is the Flu, It came with a dash, and broke un- ceremoniously into our school career. However, we have been fol- lowing our daily routine with precision and due decorum for a num- ber of weeks. Now we are about to take our departure from the Cor- ridors of Knowledge and sally forth into the Great Unknown. Before we go, let us say a word to the Faculty. To them, let us extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude for interest and con- sideration they have shown us at all times. Let us thank them, too, for the part they have played so well in helping to make our enter- tainments and enterprises successful. We heartily congratulate our- selves upon having such a body -of instructors to stand by' and ass sist us as our faculty has done in the past year. Then, we say, three cheers and a tiger for the faculty! Dorothy Graves, '19, To the June Class of 1919. OUR years ago there entered the portals of East High a throng of youngsters. They trailed self-consciously across the plat- from amidst thunderous 'applause from the student body. Today they are the Seniors-the Class of 1919. We have looked back four yearsg let us now look ahead four. Where will the Class of 1919 be then? Wherever they are, whatever they do, let us hope they have not forgotten East I-Iigh and the good old days there. The memories that come to them, memories of days gone by, may they be of those spent at East High-those of games, assemblies and contests, those of defeats and triumphs-filled alike with the real spirit of East High. May they be thoughts of the members of the faculty, who so valiantly struggled to see them through. Class of 1919, when you are looking ahead, don't forget to look back also, to the happiest days of your school life, those days spent in dear old East High. Do1'othy Graves, '19. THE quit The Royal Road to Learning. OUR years ago this June, a class of rollicking, eager, expectant youngsters longing to experience high school life, entered the portals of East High. They formed in twos in the corridor and then marched, on to the platform, down the aisle, made by the new graduates. In front. of themf loomed an important personage, who seemed to be ofiiciating at this initiation of the new Freshies. ,She directed them as to the matter oi' turning to the right or left, as the case might be, and saw that they quitted the platform with as good a grace as they came on. Now one of these round-eyed youngsters made the terri- ble error olf turning to the left instead of the right and Miss-this personage-grasped her firmly by the shoulder and wheeled her back int.o position. Theora never has forgotten the humiliation she felt, The program that followed was hardly comprehensible to these awed Freshies, their minds were so occupied with absorbing new emotions and sensations. At last they were part of a high school, East High. After the summer vacation, we returned to school, dreading the first day, yet eagerly anticipating it-and each small student grasped a quarter in his hand to be expended on the first symbol of high school- ship, a locker key. Many of us had difliculty in opening our lockers at first. Why, I had to call on a Freshy to help me out and wondered how I ever could open that door alone and unaided. tl was not as dexterous then with a key as I am now with a hairpin.J As we looked around tho-se corridors with their numerous classrooms and endless suc- cession of lockers, what wonder if our poor hrainsreeled as we realized. that out of that number we were expected to find our classrooms. We listened in awed humility to the A Freshmen dispensing informa- tion in a somewhat lofty and condescending manner, it is true, but we could stand anything from them until we, too, knew the ropes. VVe would have our turn to assume the wisdom of a Delphie Oracle at mid-year. In a week or two though, you couldn't faze us with any- thing, We were really an exceptionally intelligent lot of Freshmen. One Freshman English class had a live hunch of youngsters in it, too peppy at times. Now a certain young man, an excellent marksman, undertook to exhibit his skill by shooting-what is it?-O, paperwads. tlt is so long since I was a Freshman and of course Seniors don't bother with such child's play.J Now, Miss Pa- crossed the room just in time to receive the full force of its impact. She demanded who the culprit WELS. He evidenced a natural reluctance to disclose his identity. and Miss G-- happening by at this inopporitune time, took a hand in the investigation. Everyone being too modest to admit the excellent -shot was his, she asked all who ever shot paperwads to stand. All the boys rose and one girl, red-headed, I believe, and addicted to such Tom- boyish pastimes. She looked rather out of place, but the truth is she should have had company. It all ended in a lark. Miss P- retired to the window, her shoulders shaking, and Miss G- had much ado to 'JTHE ,QUIL keep her face grave. However, the incident served to quiet a certain bunch of irrepressible youngsters who sat in the balcony the third hour. Hostilities of a like nature ceased, and all was quiet along the Potomac. I wonder if Marjory and Evelyn remember. O don't you remember our Freshman-Senior party! How the Seniors played all the games-and we watched-and they had a grand march and passed out stick candy and apples! Didn't you resolve that when you were a Senior you wouldn't give the Freshman stick candy? O yes, you must remember. Well, we've had our party for the Freshies, and we didn't give them stick candy. They had ice cream and cake! Score one for our class! Of course, dancing isn't good for infants so we couldn't allow, that but we let them .play with us. Dost happen to recall those days spent in the cafeteria? I am speak- ing to the girls, the incessant chatterers. Their punishment was soli- tary confinement, Mrs. B-- as jailoress and-not bread and water- but appetizing odors of the lunch hour to tantalize. O blissful days! No assemblies, either. We weakened. Remember the Shakespearean pageant and our Midsummer Nigl1t's Dream. Osie made a pretty Titania, didn't she? Kenneth Bl was Puck. It takes a wise man to play the fool, n'estce aps? The pageant brought to a close our Freshman days. We passed our first milestone. O happy care-free Sophomore days! The bloom of innocence was gone, and we were more or less sophisticated but in a childish way that was charming. We loved to air our views and opinions on the World to anyone that would listen. Next to that we liked to ask questions. George Tl asked more in a minute than could be answered in an hour. He was one of these deep thinkers and liked to propound such weighty questions as would startle the teacher into giving him an E for the intelligence he showed. Ransom, at this early age, showed symptoms of literary ability by getting some of his efforts published in the Quill. Now l1e's editor. One must not let his work interfere with his school life, so this year we had several parties. Miss M--'s English classes had a gym romp one afternoon. Baseball n'everything. And weren't the doughnuts and chocolate good! Then the history party! Shades of George W. fyou knowb Betsy Ross, Julius Caesar, etc. They all came to life. Never was such a distinguished company brought together before. And say, remember The Worsted Man? Don't you know at the party we had for our parents, and they-unravelled him! Poor Ted. Lowell Ki was some hightlutin' colahed gemmenf' Another milestone was passed. We were half through our high school course. We came back in the fall as Juniors, self-satisfied and conceited. We held an important place in the school but did not have the sadness that a Senior has in knowing it is his last year. GTI-IE quu. Almost immediately the girls organized into knitting groups and the boys into military training classes. 'Several of our classmates had gone to the colors, Tony Comito, Loren Taylor, Earl Walters, Perry Johnson. Our work had a new seriousness. We bought Liberty Bonds, sub- scribed to the Junior Red Cross, had old clothe-s drives and did what little we could to help in the World War. Then came the visit of the Belgium soldiers. Such a gala day! Seven assemblies! We will never forget those brave, bronzed lighters whom we were privileged -to wel- come that day. Again to break the monotony of the school routine came the visits of two poets, Edmund Vance Cooke and Vachel Lindsay. l'll wager you can remember your astonishment yet when we were told that we Juniors were to have a class meeting and then informed that we might have a class party. Vile were allowed to dance, too. In the midst of the Virginia Reel when Shrimp and Marjorie C. were iirst couple, as she advanced gracefully toward him, hands out- stretched, her foot slipped and she did the Banana Peel Glide across the polished floor. lt was done very unwillingly, I'1l admit. I-Iaven't we had grand assemblies? Will anyone forget Dr. Medbury's talks, especially the one, Lincoln, the Mann? What enthusiastic pep meetings! Remember when Grayden Myers and Earl Walters as- tonished us by their staying power in an oratorical contestq tThey were talking for a cake.J Moving Day was an all-school picnic. The French surely have the right idea of good eats if Monsieur Constant is an example. One day the Seniors summoned us by bugle call and the ruffle of drums to help in the ceremony of planting a tree in honor of Miss Goodrell. She was leaving us that June and so it was in her honor that the Seniors dedicated their tree. We as Juniors looked on at the Seniors' festivities with content, knowing-that next year we would -be in their envied position. So an another milestone was passed. We entered upon our Senior year with dignity and decorum, as be- htted such a staid, important class of students. We were the oldest body in school and we fully appreciated ,the responsibility of our posi- tion. We must set a good example that the rest of the school might follow it. I tear this responsibility rested lightly on the shoulders of some of our classmates, as their record of punctuality is not enviableg for instance, Paul F., Margaret R. and Marjorie B. The calm course of our academic lite was broken November 11 by the great news that the armistice had been signed. Didn't we have an assembly and didn't we parade afterwards! That day was a wild, crazy, hilarious one. After that-the flu-and vacation. Then came .the day of the annual football battle between West and East. We beat them 21-7, the first time since this class had been in East High. O, Glorious! We paraded home. We had a bonfire. In QTHE quit our pep meeting before the game we determined to get West Highs goat fdid you see it?J and We got it. What did North do to us? O, We've forgotten. Time passed. The mid-year class held the center of the stage for awhile and then yielded place to us. We elected our class oihcers and at last became an organized body. What an original and obstinate body we were. The School Board decreed uniform pins, and we decided our rights as free and inde- pendent citizens Were being infringed and vehemently objected. Can anyone ever forget Crayke S.'s impassioned plea for a united resist- ance to the School Board's ultimatum? I think not. It will stand by the side of Patrick Henry's Give me liberty or give me death! We have been fortunate in having two great men visit us this year, Edwin Markham and ex-President Taft-didn't he' have a delicious little gurgling laugh? Another ripple in the calmness of our life was the Victory Loan con- test. East High took first honors, of course. Didst hear Wilber Bfs speech, or perchance Elmer O.'s? If you did not, you were blessed of men. Such blood and thunder eloquence, fine language, and such forceful gestures! It is a shame that they are not known to the World at large. They seem wasted on such unappreciative listeners as we are, for we do confess ourselves unappreciative. The Class of 1919 is not without its great men and women. We have our hall of fame. Some of tl1e greatness is real, some fancied. Carl D., our track captain and president, and beside him Bob and Ned, are three celebrities. Ned's a busy man. They need l1i1n in track and in the band, and to ofllciate in Carl's absence. Marjorie Bfs oriental fads and fashions have surely not escaped your notice. She is our Lucile and dares to costume herself in attire that most of us only dream of. Our little Hugh is the original hot air supply. Always spouting and, I believe, thinks he's clever. lrrepressible. He was like that as a Freshman and the habit has grown on him. We're truly proud of our sailor lads, Perry and Loren, and we put a gold frame around their pictures in our hall of fame. Kathryn K., Gladys R. and Wilma P. ably uphold the honor of the class in the terpsichorean artg they're there! Annette Kellerman has nothing on us. Watch Margaret R. in the pool sometime. She's a fish. In the histrionic art we exhibit Vic and Lorna-fine actresses both. Remember Green Stockings. Anyone who has heard Margaret M. play will not dis- pute her claim to a place in our hall of fame. Hail to the feminine Paderewski! And Howard, our ragtime artist. Appearances are de- ceitful. If you know Edith W. you know something of her love affairs. She confide-s in everyone. They do say she's engaged. Now don't tell. That's only gossip. And Emma N. Are her curls worn for Uvamping' purposes? They do give her a childish ingeniousness that is compell- ing and attracting. l've heard she's quite a il- but you hear lots of things. And say, if you ever have occasion to open a difficult lock 1 'awvrwrz quit, and don't have the key-page Florence P. She's awfully handy with a hairpin. Elmer O. has dared something that would earn him a place in this galaxy of great folks if he had done nothing else. You have seen his crimson striped sweater, have you not? Nuff said! He who will wear that will dare anything, and deserves a Carnegie medal for bravery. I pause. My pen falfters. It would take too long to men tion all our celebrities, for to do so would be to mention each member of the class. I content myself with these few. Our four years of high school life have come to a close. These last few weeks have been a round of pleasure and gayety culminating in the day we received our diplomas. A big clay in the lives of all of us. l1Ve have done our best these years and are now going out into a wider sphere in which to work, taking with us the experience and knowledge our high school life has given us. East High has done much for us, and it is not without a pang of regret that we leave. but youth longs for adventure and new worlds to conquer and so with our regret is an eager anticipation and impatience to know what the future will bring.

TRACK TEAM BOUND FOR IOWA CITY 'DTHE quit The First Annual Ames Track and Field Meet. NE of the best track and Held meets of the year, from an athletic viewpoint, was held at Ames the second week in May. lt was the first high school meet ever held at the State Col- lege, and, if one were to judge from the competition, was also one of the most successful meets staged this season. There were about 225 athletes taking part and the meet was representative ot almost the whole state. East High track men, under the guidance of Coach Moyer and Capt. Bill Dwyer, were able to finish, as usual, near the top in number of points garneredg in fact For the better part of the meet it looked as if our scarlet and black runners would bring home the cup. How- ever the individual work of two Mason City men spoiled our chances for iirst place. While we did not secure the premier position, the work of our fellows was consistent, and they are to be commended for their individual efforts. The first event of the afternoon was the 120 yard high hurdles. Entered in this was Aldera, our sole high hurdler, who somewhat sur- prised himself by winning lirst in his preliminary heat, and finishing second to Crawford of Mason City in the final heat. Neclis work in this event was somewhat accentuated by feminine presence in the gnandstand, and I believe his reward was angel food cake at the hands of East High co-eds. . v The second race gave East High its only first place in the meet. This, the mile run, was one of the hottest contested races of the aft- ernoon, and as usual our miler, Bob King , did better than our ex- pectations. Barnes 'of Cedar Rapids, set the pace for the first three quarters, where Bob was seen to pass him up and secure a lead of about 10 yards. Hoyer Jensen of Cedar Rapids, the favorite of the mile run, made a 'desperate attempt to catch Kinfg but was unable to do so as Bob was apparently the better man. The winner is cer- tainly to be congratulated on his stamina and nght, deserving to win as a triumph of several years training for this particular distance. He, also, was inspired by East High co-eds as every time he would pass the grandstand one could hear his name shouted by treble voices. In the centu-ry dash East High was represented by Rocko and An- drews. Rocko placed in his preliminary and secured fourth in the linal heat in competition with such men as Brewton of Mason City, Funk of Fort Dodge, and other crack speed-kings. The quarter-mile race gave East 3 more points by Capt. Dwyer winning second place. There were so many entrants in this event that it was necessary to start the contestants in two rows at the head of the 220 yard straightaway. Beck of West secured the lead at the pole by fast work and was closely followed by Dwyer who QTHE dun. finished hard behind the West High mentor. Mr. Dwyer was also inspired by feminine voices in the grandstand which probably had something to do with his beating Walsh of North by about 3 yards. The half-mile was a good race well run and East High was for- tunate enough to secure second place due to the pluckand Hght in Capt. Dwyer who after running a hard quarter, ran this additional halt-mile with only a short rest. The time was very good and the winner, Harold Jensen of Cedar Rapids, was forced to the limit to win. East High failed to place in the 220 yard dash finals and the two relays. Rocko placed in his trial heat but, having run three hard races already, was passed in the last 20 yards after leading the field for almost 200 yards. In the field events we secured two thirds. One by Strobridge in the pole vault and the other by Klinger in the discus throw. East High tailed to place in the high jump and broad jump. There are fellows in school who can do good work in both these last events and would ,sure be a. big factor in East High winning track meets as at present we have no one who is good in either one of the jumps. The track team wishes to express their appreciation to Miss Smith and her corps ot teacher-chaperons for conducting a lively bunch of East I-Iigh girls 'tio Ames and back, tor their vocal support was an im- portant factor in some of the races. Jay A. Mitchell, '21, Iowa City Trip. I-IE Iowa City trip was a very enjoyable one indeed. Vvhen we arrived Friday afternoon we were invited to a duel meet he- tween Cornell and Iowa U., which we watched till it started to rain. lt rained all Friday night and Saturday morning until it seemed that we were not going to have a field meet but instead an acquatic one. The field was so wet that the officials held the preliminaries in the gym. At noon all of the athletes who took part in the meet were given a dinner in the gymnasium. VVhen the meet started in the afternoon, about two hundred yards of the track was under tive inches of water. All of our boys placed well up in the meet, and we hope all those who are back next year will do the -same. We also wish to thank Miss Wolfe and the domestic science girls for the very good lunches which they llxed for us. A The boys who went on the trip are Kenneth Greenlee, Detlif Bogue, Jack Groves, Glenn Strobridge, Ned Aldera and Bohuliing who took second in the mile run. Bob Hartung won the gold medal for llrst place in the discus and 'Harold Rocho won third place in the 220-yard dash, while Harry Shell close behind him took fourth place. Bill Dyer took second place in the second heat of the quarter mile run, while Laurence Klinger tied second in the discus.

ERETOFORE no mention has been made and no appreciation has been expressed for the services rendered by the Sewing ' Department and the Art Department. For five years the work of costuming has been done by the members of the Sewing Department and in all entertainments the Art students have willingly given their talents to provide original and beautiful stage settings. It has been almost entirely unnecessary to look outside for costumes, as the Sew- ing Department has provided most excellent and prompt service. We have now accumulated costumes of every nationality and our ward- robe is well stocked with attractive garments for almost any character. Through the aid of the Art Department, stage settings have been made and color schemes for costumes have been worked out. The co-opera- tion of these two departments has added much to the success of East High in all her entertainments. To them both we are extremely grate- ful. We are proud to have such ability and such co-operation coupled with the willingness to serve and the promptness to deliver the goods associated with our school. , Dorothy Graves, '19, The Girls' Dramatic Club. AST HIGH, the Girls' Dramatic Club wishes to thank you for your hearty coeoperation in making a strong and healthy child from the inexperienced babe that came to you on January the second. We are exceedingly glad to have been one of your family, and for next year we are planning-well, you are going to be sur- prised at this clever child you have in your midst. Perhaps you do not know about our childhood experiences-We have had 1nany! The first thing we did when we came to our new home was to choose Norma Mershon as president, Marion Crowe as vice president, Dorothy Graves as secretary, and Victoria Love as treasurer, to rear and care for us. We hope we are a credit to them and to Miss Bennett, who had given so much of her time that we might become strong and lusty. On account of our age, we gave a Baby Party on January 23. By the time we had blossomed forth in our silver and old-rose collars, we felt strong enough to attempt something more diflicult so we de- cided to make our debut at the ten o'clock assembly, March 17. The club song, with which eight of the club girls opened the program was written by Ru-th Shaw. The clever little Irish play, Saint Patrick's Snakie Snakes, was written by Miss Bennett and played by ten of our talented members. Norma Mershon, -as the colored maid Angelina, Was, as I afterwards heard it exclaimed in the corridor, a perfect scream. sri-is quit A Current Magazine Review was given at a closed meeting on April the tenth. Marian Crowe, as The Girl, was trying -to decide which magazine she should subscribe for. As she was -sitting at her desk thinking of the various magazines, Country Life, came in and tried to persuade her to buy ity then the. Traveler, Red Cross, 'tVogue, Life , and many others told her of their most interesting articles and many advantages. Finally, The Girl decided that Life', was the best of them all, because it is a highly developed funny bone , and without a funny bone one is sure to die before he even reaches the Cape of Goodhopef' Friday, April the eleventh, the Social Hour was in charge of the Dramatic Society. The entire time was spent in dancing. Miss Rag Doll, who played the part of a drooping walliilower, was feeling very lonesome until two gentlemen were kind enough to take her for a walk. Miss Rag Doll, being composed of sawdust, was unable to tell them her name and her identity is still shrouded in mystery. The other interesting visitors were Sheldon Gladstone and Grace Ryan. Kenneth Gibson and John Casady played thelhumorous parts of a monkeygrinder and a monkey. A very interesting Edison program was arranged by Grace Ryan for April 24. The musical life of Thomas Edison was explained by Martha Morrison. Talks were given on instrumental, vocal, sacred and popular mrusic. We were fortunate in having with us Miss Brin- ton, who told us about the Opera and related the story of Lohengrin and the trial of Elsa, after which the opera was played on the Edison machine. Friday evening, May the second, the Forensic and Debating Society boys were entertained at the gym by the Dramatic Club girls. During the course of the evening, we were very much surprised to discover that one of the members of the Forensic Club was indeed musically for noisilyj inclined. Ask anyone of the one hundred who were at the party, the name of the obliging fellow who spent most of his eve- ning at the traps Home-made candies and nuts were served by a group ot girls, from a booth trimmed in old rose and silver. At 10:20 the lights flashed and we knew that this meant Home, Sweet, Home. Kollege Kapers written and played by a group of club girls was given May 15. This short one act play was iight and lively-a group of college girls get together and have an evening of fun, without the Dean being any the wiser. T-he strumming of the ukuleles gave a cozy touch to the scene and Margaret Thomas' dance was lovely. This finished the first chapter in the history of the Girls' Dramatic Club of East High. With your help, we hope to make next year even bigger. ' Mabel Burnett, Publicity Chairman. 'EWTTHE quit A Historical Sketch of Debating Society. fContinuedJ April 21. Time: evening.

Mr. Verner I-Ialden was sued for 3350,- 000,000 in a breach of promise suit by Mrs. Mrs. etc. Audrine Petticord CRalph Jesterl. The 'trial was held at eight o'c1ock. Curtain rises. The solemn judge CR. Wrightl with snowy white hairireposed at his desk. Ponderous law books fFunk and Wagnalls Stand-ards J and Blackstone's Commentaries fWebster's lnternationall were piled about the venerable old man. At the right, loitered the diminutive bailiff Clliddle Hanson? who called the court to order. Next, the vamp beautifully attired made her appearance accom- panied by her attorney Cmyseilfj. Then Mr. Breeden, attorney for the defense, entered. The jurors were sworn in by Mr. Ball. In vain the prosecuting attorney declared that an Irishman CG. Trumanl was not eligible to sit on the jury, in vain he expostulated -that an insane person flvlr. Guildl was not a fitting juror, in vain argued that it was unlawful for Mr. Runibaugh to appear as a juror wearing short trousers. However, Mr. Waters was ousted for wearing too loud neckties. The witnesses were sworn in and then -they were ques- tioned and cross questioned. Mr. Breeden insisted on nraking love to the vamp in spite of the fact that she brandished her rolling-pin threateningly. During the plea that followed, Mr. Breeden cried be- cause he was so moved by the va1npire's immodesty. Jurors' Verdict: Mrs. Audrine Petticord was insane for loving such a thing as Verner Halden. Vive. Vale. Elmer Osberg, '19- NOVEL and interesting program was presented in the assem- bly on Wednesday, May 9, by the Boys' Debating Society. The president, Ransom W1'ight, opened the session with a short sketch of the history and growth of the Society. Marion Hawk, ac- companied by George Deskin, gave us several violin solos, which were greeted with thunderous 'applause from the students. A debate, Re- solved: That the railroads in the United 'States should 'be owned and operated by the government, concluded the program. The affirmative 'genres dun. was upheld by Stuart Ball and Edward Briggs, while Harold Hanson and Elmer Osberg supported the negative. The judges, Miss Gabriel, Miss Bush, and Mr. Peterson, after careful consideration, returned a verdict of two to one in favor of the negative. By this program, the students of East High learned something of what the Debating Society is doingg what it means to East High. XVe all enjoyed the program and hope to have more like it again. Junior Red Cross. N September, 1917, the Junior Red Cross was organized to enable the -school children to help in the great war. Since the war closed activities have been somewhat at a standstill while plans were be- ing formulated for peace-time service. By the opening of school next fall, these plans will be completed and the Junior Red Cross will con- tinue to render service at home and abroad. Our work abroad will consist in helping to bring relief to the millions of children who are suffering and will continue to suffer for a long period because ofthe war. As we take out our Red Cross memberships, G0 per cent of the fee will be sent to National Headquarters for a National Childrens Fund for relief work among children in various countries. The remaining funds may be used for home service where our local committee finds a need, or it may go for particular relief purposes abroad in which we have special interest. Your Des Moines Chapter Committee is planning to turn over a part of our balance for this year to the National Children's Fund. The rest will be u-sed in relief work here at home. One of the things the committee has in mind is the maintenance of a bed in one of our hospitals for the use of needy children. Here at East High we have rendered service in various ways during the past year. The following is a fairly complete summary of our activities for the year although some may have been overlookedf The classes in sewing have made one thousand and nity-eight trench bags, eight hundred and sixty-seven face masks, nine hundred and sixty-ilve tooth brush holders, one hundred and ninety-five bandages of various kinds, and refugee garments consisting of fifty flannel skirts, nine com- forters, fifty aprons and ten suits of pajamas. The manual training boys have completed one hundred and sixty bedside tables and will have done some other work before the year is over. We had two collections of magazines for the boys at Camp Dodge aggregating about one thou- sand numbers. We also collected one hundred and eighty books to be sent to the boys overseas. In two drives for old clothes our tot-al col- lection amounted to over 3,000 pounds. A collection amounting to 3559.19 was taken at Tlianksgiving time for the benefit of the Children's Homes in the city. At the time the war closed we had' over 1,200 pounds of fruit pits on hand, but fortunately they were not needed. During the fall forty-live of our boys worked an afternoon each at the Red Cross 'ammo HE quit headquarters and thirty of our boys have assisted during the two Liberty Loan drives. A dozen of our girls did clerical work at the Red Cross headquarters at the Capitol. ln February we raised over 5100 by contributions toward our year'-s membership dues of twenty-iive cents per pupil, and on May 9 our splendid Vaudeville show assisted us in completing the quota. As Junior Red Cross workers under the stress of war, we have learned as never before the meaning of the motto which adorns our main entrance, For the service of humanity. When the new school year opens may we still remember its meaning and be ready to heed the call to service as it shall come to us from time to time. As chair- man of your organization I wish to thank all who have so cheerfully responded to the calls for service in one way and another. Allan Peterson. The Forensic Club. HE Forensic Club is a comparatively new organization in East High School. It was organized February 15, 1919 with David - Bolen, Presidenftg Crayke Stephenson, Vice President, Jay Mitchell, Secretary, and with the following students charter members: Ray Hardin, Vernon Hanger, Jay Newburn, Harold Engleman, and Carl Slininger. Mr. Moyer, our esteemed coach, is the Faculty Ad- viser and in this capacity has given the club complete satisfaction. Since the founding of the Club, the following boys have been elected to membership: Karl Greenlee, Clarence Ridgeway, Kenneth Greenlee, Robinson King, Cecil Frisk, Clarence Newell, Ned Aldera, Sheldon Gladstone, Perry Johnson, Randolph Ruhley and Charles Sloan. The purpose of the Forensic Club is in the main four-fold. First, it wishes to co-operate with the principal and faculty in developing in East High, students that will be at credit to themselves and their school and worthy citizens in their respective communities. Second, this club aims to bring together the students, who show promise in school activities, for concerted .action in ways and means of furthering the best interests of East High. Third, a meeting place is provided where literary, musical or other programs may be carried out, also, where vital matters pertaining to the school may be discussed and ways devised to carry out progressive ideas. Lastly, the Forensic Club wishes and intends to further the democratic spirit in East High and to make the school fan institution where everyone is treated alike, satisfied and happy that he is a part oi East High. While the club is still in its infancy and the members have spent much of their time in getting a sound organization and proper start, they have not had the opportunity to accomplish as much for East High as they would have liked to do. We have made some mistakes, as all mortals do, but all are confident that the future will furnish chances to serve our school in many ways. Harold Engleman, '20. sri-H: quit The Student Friendship Circle. ' Mem-bers of the Student Friendship Club are already planning for their summer camps-a iield and a local camp. The 'field camp which takes the place of the Geneva Conference will be held art Lake City, Minnesota. Special effort is being made to secure a local camp. The location has not yet been decided upon but it will be somewhere near Des Moines. Ten days of the summer will be given .to Girl Reserve Clubs and ten days to high school clubs such as the Friendship Club in East High School. The day's program in these camps will follow the Geneva plan. There will be the usual attention given to the triangle-spirit, mind, and body. An Old English May Day Fete was given May 22, 23, and 24, to raise money which will be used to send delegates. The Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves is a new organization in East High this year. It is the junior department of the Hi Y consisting only of first semester girls. On March twenty-sixth, Dr. Nelle Noble gave a demonstration on first aid to the injured. This meeting was attended by both junior and senior groups. The Girl Reserves held Vesper Service on Sunday, March thirtieth, at the Y. W. C. A. The girls' mothers attended. The members are now looking forward to a social meet- ing in the form of a hike and picnic. Girls' Swimming Classes 1918-1919. HE girls' swimming classes under the capable direction of Miss Ward and Miss Millier have proven very fascinating as well as beneficial. One hundred and forty-tive pupil-s enrolled the first semester and one hundred and thirty-five the second. Considering the handicap en- countered by the epidemic of influenza, this number is very nearly up to the average. One thousand and eighty-seven points have been made on the progressive charts. The following girls have completed all the points on the S'vVilI1ll1Gl S chart this year: Lucile Hurst, Minnie Lucas, Edith Latta, Mabel Moser, Lena McGowan, Esther Rawlins, Laureen Smith, Glow Salisbury, Marie Wiley, Clara Hendricks, Ethel Harvey, lvlinta Morgan, Lorraine Patterson, Florence Selindh, Julia Ringland, Anna Edmundson, Hilda Schoen, Gladys Rudston, Verona Farrand, Mar- tha Mortensen, Dorothy Stearns, and Ruth Spry. These girls have made all the points on the life saver's chart this year: Gladys Rudston, Minnie Lucas, Lucile Hurst, Ethel Harvey, Edith Latta, Esther Rawlins, Julia Ringland, Laurene Smith, Florence Selindh, Mae Vander Linden, Marie Wiley, Christina Thompson, Anna Edmundson and Ruth Spry. Una Routson, Margaret Rawlins, Zola Overturff, Mildred Bosley, 9THE quit Bernice Goreham, Marjorie Temby, Maybelle Anderson, Anita La Plant, Florence Seliudh, Gladys Rudston, Ethel Harvey, Julia Ringland, Lucile Hurst, Edith Latta, Mae Vander Linden, and Laurene Smith have suc- cessfully passed the test for membership in the United States Division of the World's Life 'Saving Alliance for Women and Girls, sister or- ganization of the Men's Life Saving Corps of the American Red Cross. Una Routson, Gladys Rudston, Zola Overturff, Maybelle Anderson, Florence Selindh and Bernice Goreham qualified with a grade of 100 per cent. All successful candidates receive a certilicate and are en- titled to wear the bathing suit emblem of the organization. The quarter mile swim has been made by Maybelle Anderson, Mary Johnston, Bernice Goreham, Julia Ringland, Christina Thompson and Ruth Spry. The half mile swim made by Una Routson, Margaret Rawlins, Edith Latta, Laurene Smith, Florence Selindh, Lucile Hurst, Gladys Rudston and Zola Overturff. Friday, April 4th, ten girls from tl1e swimming classes at East High gave a dry land drill demonstrating the plain back stroke, right side stroke, breast stroke, and scientific back stroke, as a part of the pro- gram given by the Physical Department of the Des Moines school for the Teachers' Convention. These girls also demonstrated a combina- tion of strokes, introducing the left side stroke. Those taking part were Ethel Harvey, Minta Morgan, Elizabeth Devin, Esther Rawlins, Velda Wilbe1'n, Ruby Crowe, Edith Latta, Christina Thompson, Mar- garet Phillips, Laurene Smith, and Zola Overturli. Plans are on the way to hold a pleasure swim, participated in by the girls of the swimming classes and their friends, the proceeds of which are to go to increase the Junior Red Cross Fund. Velda Wilbern, '20. The Junior Chamber of Commerce. N this, the last report of the -season, I will endeavor to tell you two ' things-what we have done lately and what we have done as a 'whole this year. At the meeting of the 16th of April, the Junior Chamber was given a splendid talk by one of the members of the Harris-Emery firm on just how the business of one of our leading mer- cantile establishments is carried on. He told of the place that is open for all young people who really want to start in and learn the business and what chance there is for advancement for the person who does his level best. He answered all questions in a very pleasant manner, and we all counted our afternoon well spent. The April 30th meeting was a great one, too, for we divided by classes and took in three big places of interest. The Seniors were entertained and educated by the Iowa National Bank and were thankful beyond measure to have had a chance to see such an institu- tion from the inside lout. We hope that the fbank's deiicit after our upper classmen left did not amount to very much. The Juniors and Freshmen went to the factory of the Hawkeye Tire and Rubber Co. and saw the tire from the raw rubber to its place on the wheel. It was THE quit very interesting to wautch the men work the raw materials into this and that part of the tire so that it would have the maximum life and give the most satisfaction to the user. When we all get our cars, we'll sure use Hawkeyes on all four wheels, won t we. The Sophomores were given the glad hand at the Bast-Fogarty Mills and had a royal time watching the wheels go around. It is an education in itself to see the grains of wheat go into one end of a ma- chine and come out the other Qfiguratively speakingl in a clean white sack ready for the baker to use. Perhaps some member of the class of '21 will inve11-t a ntachine which will revolutionize the present mill- ing system-who knows what our Sophs will do in time. As a whole, the Junior Chamber has been a wonderful success this year. It has been instructive as well as interesting and has helped each and every one of us, I am' sure, We, the Junior Chamber of Commerce as a whole, wish to extend our gratitude to the men of Des Moines who have so willingly and so graciously opened their doors to us and who have so kindly told us how they made their success. We also wish to thank those men who have arranged our trips and who have helped to get the iniiuential men of this city to talk to us. After the year we have just had, it will be a surprise to us it every fellow does not plan to leave every other Wednesday afternoon open for the big Junior Chamber of Commerce next year. Howard Wicks, '20. Advanced Gym for Girls. HE Girls' Advanced Gymnasium class has been quite active this winter and spring even though the ilu did try to prevent them ' from having a good time. The girls have learned a number. of folk dances, also how to play N8NVC01Ih9 Volleyf' They have had a few lesson-s in tennis. Members of the class took part in the Swed- ish Gymnastics at West High, enjoying themselves a great deal, also receiving considerable benefit from the work. Girls' Hi-Y. HE girls organized after school started in the fall and held their meetings every week. At these meetings, lectures' were given the girls, also hikes, picnics, and social events planned. The chief aim of the Hi-Y is to look after every new girl that enters East High and thus help her to make friends. They also want to get the girls interested in their school work. During the flu epidemic, the Y girls gave much ot their time to visiting and cheering the sick. They have done much Red Cross Work and helped with little -odd jobs around ethe school, such as decorating the cafeteria and helping during vacant periods on the honor roll. One of the biggest social events the girls had this year was the Mother-Daughter Banquet held at the Y with the girls of West and North High. Besides this, the girls served at the Parent-Teacher's meeting and at the Y, banquets. T1-is quit Swimming. HROUGHOUT this year a deep interest has been manifested, among the boys, in the aquatic sport. They have turned out in large numbers as indicated by the large enrollment of two hun- dred. This exceeds West High's total enrollment by forty and North Higlrs by iifty. Again Ea-st High has taken the lead. This year the boys were given something tangible to work for. Bronze, silver, and gold medals were to be given those who passed certain tests prescribed by the American Red Cross Life Saving As- sociation. These medals were an excellent stimulus, for they might be won by beginners after a few Weeks of instruction and honest edort. Moreover, another and much more distinguished honor might be won by those who were or became sufliciently expert to pass the life-saving test prescribed by the Association. Such persons were to be given a membership in the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps and the monogram of the organization. Every effort was bent by the aspirants 'towards winning these honors, and swimming has certainly boomed in East High this year. May I add in connection, for the benefit of those who may wish to take swimming next year, that the awarding of these medals and honors will be a regular feature of the swimming program. Ralph A. Waters, '19. Orchestra. INCE Mr. Bland took charge of the Music at East High the be- ginning of the second semester, the whole school has come to appreciate music more. We have two separate orchestras, a junior and a senior, that meet once a week the first period. It is in- deed remarkable how much these two orchestras have accomplished: The senior orchestra is playing pieces far above the standard of high school orchestras while the junior, although not making so many ap- pearances, will furnish the senior orchestra next year with a number of good musicians as remarkable talent is shown in this group. A The senior orchestra has played at assemblies a number of times, at our school plays, and also for the community course that was given at East High last winter. From this orchestra a few musicians have been selected from time to time to go to Camp Dodge and play for the con- valescent soldiers. East High is proud of both organizations and hopes that next year as efficient a group will take the place of those members who are leav- ing this year. Choral Club and Glee Club. HE Glee Club and Choral Club have suffered just like all the other organizations this year on account ot the Ilu . Both have met separately once a week the same as the orchestras for their practices and have accomplished considerable. The Glee Club with a few of the boys from the Choral Club has formed a group to- gether With students from West and North High. This group has sung an-IE quit at all three of :the Hfigh 'schools and also sang for the mid-year com- mencement exercises. All the students in this group have enjoyed themselves and only hope that the schools will get together again next year. Parent-Teachers, Association. HE purpose of this association is to bring parents and teachers together in order to discuss problems which may be a benefit to the pupils of the school. The first meeting was held October 8. lt consisted of an address by Miss Ada Hershey, on the subject, Does Not the Serious Dearth of Nurses of Today Demand a Course in 'Home Nursing' to be Established in Our Public Schools? The second meeting held November 12, was a Visiting Day for the parents. The third meeting of January 14, was an address on Making Leisure Hours an Asset Instead of a Liability. A lecture entitled, A Tribute to Wasliingtoli and Lincoln, was given the evening of February 11. The meeting of March 11 was left in charge of the teachers and a very in- teresting musical entertainment was presented by Mr. Burton and Miss Malin. Miss Turner and Miss Bush tooli part in a, little sketch called The Crystal Gazer. The meeting of April 8 was the annual business meeting and the following oiiicers were elected: President, Mrs. J. N. Albright: Vice President, Mrs. A. G. Hostetterg Secretary, Mrs. VV. A. Carr, Corresponding Secretary, Mi-ss Julia Padmoreg Treasurer, Mrs. Amos Ball. After the election of oilicers, Mrs. Jones the district presi- dent, gave an inspiring address. A May Party has been planned for the next meeting, May 13, to be held at the park. The hostess will be Miss Mae Goodrell. On account of the flu one meeting was mis-sed but all the others have been a great success and those interested are hoping to have many more successful meetings in the coming years. Jeanette McCril.lis, '2Z. Penm anship . INNIE BOOS is the proud possessor of the Palmer Method Students' Diploma. The following students have submitted their examinations to the Palmer Company, at New York, for the American Penman Certificate: Minnie Boos, Pauline Plumb, Josephine Hartman, Ruth Spry. Harry Bilz has the distinction of being the only and perhaps the first student of East High, who has secured the Teachers' Diploma in penmanship. He has also presented to East High a bound volume of his penmanship exercises and designs which he has recently prepared. V, on-us qun, A 1 ' !nrEs':b4?J5g VA! gb.-ef - QD ' ?

To prevent them from entirely forgetting the main things of their last high school year I have prepared a sort of calendar. The flu stopped a lot of things during the first semester but we made up for it later. CALENDAR. February 5 the mid-year class gave a group of Valentine plays. February 18 Princess Watahwaso told us Indian stories and sang Indian songs. March 6 the Saxaphone Six gave us a splendid program. March 12 the Drake Glee Club was here. March 17 the Girls' Dramatic Club gave -a Saint Patrick Play called Snakey Snakes. March 20 the poet, Edwin Markham spoke and read to us. March 21 we heard the sad news of Mr. McKinney's death.

May 16 a picnic and celebration for the school and in the evening a home coming for our returned soldiers and the deinobilization of the Service Flag. May 25 Demobilization of our Service Flag. 7THE quit Senior Festivities. HE many social affairs which were planned for the Senior Class helped to make the last weeks the happiest of our school days. On May 9, a basket supper was held at East High after which We danced in the gym until time for the Junior Red Cross Benefit Vaudeville. From the reports we heard concerning this vaudeville, we anticipated a good entertainment. But this was only one of the many picnics or parties we had planned. Next came the Masquerade party which was held in the gym on the 17th .of May. In retrospect we can see ourselves gaily disguised, some fluttering about in adorable Japanese kiinonos, some skipping merrily in jesters' costumes and others dressed to represent mis- chievous little brownies. All of our 'old friends, such as Red Riding Hood and the stately colonial lady, were there too. How much fun we had and how mystified our friends were! We wish Father Time would take his scythe, and cut out the weeks since the Masquerade, and let us live it all over again. We looked forward eagerly and longingly to the Senior picnic, which had floated through our dreams for the past four years. At last it came. There have been picnics from time immemorial, but none like this. Every Senior, whether blonde or brunette, long or short, re- gardless of previous conditions of servitude was there. It was a glor- ious and never-to-be-forgotten day. Every -one ate as though that meal was to be his last, and the girl-s learned that as far as a Senior's -a male Senior's capacity is concerned, There is ever a void that is yet to be filled. In th-e latter part of May there was a supper at the Grand View Park club house followed by a dance. We think this order should have been reserved, for there was considerable danger that some of our members might not be able to dance after they had eaten their share of the generous lunch which was served. But we shall recall an enjoyable evening whether we ate Iirst, last, or all the tinie. For some time past there has been sentiment in favor of a Get- Together party, for the Seniors of all three Des Moines High Schools. Taking into consideration not only the size of -the crowd but also the arrangements which are being made, this party was one of the big- gest social events of the year. Last came class day, 'and you all remember how well our capable committee carried out its clever plans. For a few short weeks we abode in the golden land of Seniors, en- vied by all. ' Mary H. Gordon. 'NGWJTHE Quit Vaudeville Show. RIDAY evening, May 9, a vaudeville -show was given to help East High complete l1er Junior Red Gross enrollment. The entire pro- gram was very good, in fact it imitated an Orpheum show so well that it we miss any of the actors next semester we will know that the Orpheum has at last awakened to the talent lying idle in our school. Just let me name some of the acts and see if you don't think they at least sound well. The first act was moti-on pictures of The Pirate's Bride. This was the greatest splenditerous and phantasmagoric spectacle of the year. The second act was the Allies' Ball. Toe ticklers from France, Scotland, Italy, and the good old United States were there. The third act was what some 'slangy folks would scream, It was Lunatics, not just out from the their way there as most folks seem to be, but some were already there. The fourth act was a musical call a perfect asylum, or on real ones who number called Dixieland It was called a .Tazzzzzz on the program, but outside of that it was very good. The Seniors, who had been having a iine time all ailternoon, were ia little frightened at first for fear they would show how tired they were by falling asleepg but all I noticed seemed very vivaci-ous for folks that were in the Land of Nod. The fifth number was in charge of a magician who could manage many marvelous magical mysteries, mromentarily make massive missiles move merely by metaphysical means, and send shivers surging down your spine by setting up your silly sentiment-s for the survey of so- ciety. The sixth was called Carmen, or The Railroad Men's Opera, assisted by Mr. Simp Phoney's Orchestra. The seventh was the King of Dancers, If2l,iLill'Yl1, and the eighth was the 'Ladies' Choice. I mean of course that that was the name of the act. The ninth and last number was A Japanese Tea Garden, presented by Yutaha Kissome and twenty-three slant eyed dolls. Now, are you not sorry that you did not come? You missed a great deal by not seeing the show and we missed your quarter, but perhaps we will survive without it. There might be such a thing that our auditorium was not large enough, did you ever think of that? It will not be quite so bad this time because you may get a chance to see the show in Chicago or New ,York, but you must never run such a risk again. Make them give it two nights if necessary. Remember, a bird in the hand's worth two in the bush. Willialn Howard Taft. AST High is lucky. That. was the case Tuesday, April 15, when -4 we were favored wi-th a speech given by one of the greatest men in the world, William I-I. Taft. Pupils left the lunchroom to hear the ex-president, and for once did not mind missing a lunch. Mr. Taft made an impromptu speech of fifteen minutes' length. It was largely along the line of suggestion that young people should not hesitate to take advice from their elders. 7Tl-IE quit Governor Allen. GAIN East High is lucky. Friday, May 3, East High had the honor of hearing Governor Allen, of Kansas, deliver a speech in our auditorium. Mr. Allen is a big man in the United States, and a speech from him is surely worth while., He has just returned from France, and is on his way to his home in Topeka, Kansas. Shakespearean Assembly. 'PRIL twenty-third students from West and North High came and gave us portions of some of Shakespeare's plays. West High gave scenes from As You Like lt, North High the fairies dance from Mid-Summer Night's Dream, and East High scenes from the Merry Wives of Windsor. Since April twenty-third is Shake- speareis birthday it was felt that something should be done to cele- brate. Of course the best way possible to do this would be to give parts of his plays. That is the reason it was done and naturally we did not object any. I think we all have been wishing lately that more famous men like Shakespeare had been born, not so we should have more to study in English, but so we should have more birth- days to celebrate. Let us all resolve to do something great so the school children, many generations from now will have many birth- days to celebrate. The A Junior Party. l-IE A Juniors, becoming jealous of the Seniors who have been much in the limelight, decided to have a party themselves. We elected a committee, of which Karl Greenlee was chairman, and Irene Anderson. treasurer, and they did much 'to help make the party a success. The party was held in the Gym, Friday evening, April 25. As everyone arrived about eight o'cl0ck a short time was spent in getting acquainted with each other. Then as things quieted down a bit, Sheldon Gladstone gave us a pleasant surprise by announcing that a short program would be given. The first number was two dances given by Gladys Rudstong the next was a violin solo by Mil- dred Crowe, then Lillie Holm favored us with two pleasing solosg the last number was ukelele selections given by Ruth Shaw, Ruth Morahn, Velda Wilbern, and Marie McNerney. This program was very entertaining and we enjoyed it immensely. After this we had a Grand March and then refreshments were served. It is sad but true, that we who served were obliged to forget all man- ners and eat our ice cream with knives, as the spoons were all in use. Nevertheless, we decided that it tasted quite as good as it would have done with spoons. Dancing was enjoyed by the students at in- tervals during the evening. We want the Seniors to know that they are not the only ones who can have a good time. Tina I-Ieaberlin, '20, fri-11: quit A Picnic' Party. I-IE old clothes drive which was staged about the middle of April called forth a challenge from Mr. Oonstant's French class to Miss Wood's English class and for some unknown reason f?J the latter lost. Tl1e loser was to give a party, so we had a picnic in the log cabin at Union Park. Oh! Them Eats! Them swell eats! If anyone did not have all he coulld hold, it was purely his fault for there was enough and more too. The picnic was scheduled for May 1 at 6:30, and nearly all of us were there. Miss Wood demonstrated beyond a doubt that at least one of our faculty memlbers can have an appetite when it is convenient. She was sick Friday fthe day following the picnicj and missed the first part of the next week. Now, whether the pic- nic was to blame or not is still a mystery, but things still look sus- picious. But, you should have seen Bess Altman play the role of champion paper licker. We all knew that she liked ice cream, but we were truely surprised to see every paper which came around a brick get licked clean before it was out of the hands of the cutter. If you could have seen her face after the supper was over, you would not have had to be told that she did not believe in using a spoon to clean paper with. George Groves :tried to eat his portion and that reserved for Mr. Constant fwho could not be presentj too, but decided that it was impossible to be two persons at once as far as capacity is concerned. Everything went off fine. We caught a homeward bound car at aboutnine o'clock, ,for the next day would start out bright and early with a recitation and that would require a little preparation. We all went home with heavy stomachs and light hearts. What more could be asked for? French Program. HE assembly of May 9, was rather an innovation in programs. We have had German and Latin programs, but this is the first French entertainment that has been put on, and we thank Mr. Constant for his presen-tation of this unusual program. The first number was fthe singing of America by the whole school. Rulth Gould favored us with a reading, in English, La Drapeauf' The Flag. Margaret Murray read it in French, and it was very impres- sive. Mr. Constant gave a history of the French National Hymn, Les M'arseillaise , and -Madeline Mershon gave us the translation in English. The climax of the program came in the singing of that im- mortal hymn by Velda Vtfilbern, all the school standing at attention while she rendered us that inimitable vocal solo. Lillias Plummer en- tertained us with Vive La France in English, and Daisy Field gave us La Petite M'andiante , an illustration of a poor French orphan, begging food from house to house. It wars very interesting. Mr. Con- stant had a special fealturen that we enjoyed. Miss Laura McLean art-is quit sang to us in English, French and Italian. Mrs. Cornell accompanied her, and later gave us Aa very good piano solo. We were pleased to see what the French students could do in as- sembly, and also very mruch pleased to have Miss McLean and Mrs. Cornell with us. We hope they liked East High well enough to call on us again. Miaurine Englund, '19, The Latinus Nuntius. HE Latinus Nuntius, or Latin Messenger, is a Latin paper edited by Miss Wood's two Caesar classes and it is very inf - teresting as well as instructive. The paper appears every week, the two classes alternating in its publication. It contains jokes, current events, etc., all of which are printed in Latin. It was sug- gested that the cartoons be drawn in Latin but this was later found to be impractical. The editor for the second period class is Siegmund Neumann, who is assisted by Lillian Johnson and Frances McKee. The editor for the sixth period class the first semester was Ransom Wright, who had as assistants Elizabeth Devin and Velda Willaerii. For the sec- ond semester this class elected Elliott Guild editor and Ruth Shaw and Velda Wilbern as assistants. The Latinus Nuntius is one of the many f?l things that make the study of Latin interesting and we hope it will serve the same pur- pose throughout the coming years, each year bringing out the same number of ambitious young Latin students that this year has pro- duced.

HE friends of East High will perhaps be interested to hear of our former teacher, Miss Irene Taake. Here are portions of a - few of her letters to her sister. This is a part of a letter written in London the last of December, about the time that Wilson was there: Today is a truly London day, fog and drizzle, not really rain. Or- dinarily the shops close only the 25th and 26th, but I stopped a woman and discussed the shop question and she said: 'This year, because of the armistice and because the people needed a rest so badly, many shops are remaining closed until January 1st.' 1 arm: quit In my wanderings I lost all sense of where I was, so asked assist- ance and made my way to the tube station. I went down, thinking it would only be a flight or two. I went down winding stairs for a distance that would have been about six or seven stories in a large building. No wonder crowds flocked to the tubes during air raids. The service is wonderful and the whole tube-really tube shaped- is lined with smooth glazed green and white tile. When I came out of the tube I found .the stairs are merely a superiluity, for I came up on an elevator as big as a room. This afternoon we went to the Abbey. What I shall always re- member is the wonderful arches and columns. Those and the stained glass windows alone make it wonderful. We also took in the British Museum. While we could see very little because the treasures are largely stored, to make room for government offices, still it was very interesting. In several places we saw them clearing away the sand bags that had been stacked up around pieces of value as a protection from the air raids. Ingother places the bags were still in place. In one place an Egyptian Sphynx-like statue had just been cleared of over 1,000 bags of sand. In another we saw a mass of sacks and in front of them a fac simile -of the 'Discus Throwerf The original was buried in the bags behind Bombs were dropped within a half mile of the Museum. After lunch we took a bus to Westminster bridge. Because we cou1dn't get the old bus stopped, we went clear across the bridge. l'm glad, for we had such a wonderful view up and down the Thames and of the buildings from the opposite side. VVe came back and went through the building. Again the wonderful columns, high arches and stained glass windows are the most impressive to me. The House of Lords is a wonderful room with its golden throne, chairs for the King and Queen, and Ithe smaller one for the Prince of Wales. The wood is all dark brown, quite like black walnut, but I don't know that it is that. The seats are cushioned in a most brilliant red leather. The railings, galleries, etc., have a good bit of bronze. The windows are the richest of blues, reds and browns. The coloring is certainly won- derfulf' This next gives a faint idea of the country where Miss Taake is located for her work. How I wish you could all take a peep at me. The immediate set- ting is a back room on the ground floor of a French peasant cottage, the only occupant besides myself being an unusually clever old French woman who talks so fast that I have so far only understood one whole sentenceg that was this morning when she told me to put lots of wood on the fire right away. My room has a curtained niche which was where the bed stood when I arrived, but I have put the bed out in the room and use the niche as a closet. There is one rug about 18 inches by 48 inches on -atewrut quit the floor. There is a fireplace, but it smokes so badly that the Captain has had a stove put in. This stove is actually 8 inches square and 2 feet high. It burns sticks 6 inches long. Can you imlagine the in- tense heat it radiates? The rest of the furniture is a table, two straight chairs and a big plush affair covered with crocheted tidies. It has never been warm enough here to relax to the extent that I could enjoy that. The bed, like all French beds, is a dream of linen sheets and feather beds. The chief points of interest in the village are two wine shops and a wash house. The wash house is a large open building where every woman takes her clothespand washes and gossips. - The most common sight around here is a shepherd with a horn, actually a horn, herding about 50 to G0 sheep. It is all so interesting and novel that any little thing seems of no importance and can easily be overlooked. How I wish you could see the little thatched huts with oil paper for windows, no glass around here. The peasants cannot quite understand a Mademoiselle alone and they look at me with pity, while I am enjoying every minute of it. They Are Coming Back. HESE words are heard everywhere. We hear them on the street, in the theater, in the church, at school-yes, everywhere we - hear those words. At East High most of the boys have come back. Friday, April 25, we had an assembly just for the soldiers that happened to be visiting that day. East High was surely well represented for those that were on the platform were stationed at different parts of the globe. John Hanstrom came back from Siberia, Everett Horner, George Peterson and Vane Overturff from France, Parker Karr from the Philippines, and Mose Goldenson, Tom Dunagan, and Roy Anderson from down near the Mexican border. - The soldiers were not the only people on the platform, for the Gobs occupied almost half the space. In the navy were Richard Walle1'stedt, George Beese, Loren Taylor, and Randolph Ruhley. With Lieut. Nathan Smythe in charge ot the program, each related some one interesting experience while in the service.

WING to the fact that sufficient information was not supplied us, the name of Joe Wyatt was omitted from the list of gold stars, and his picture not included in the group printed in the April number. We deeply regret this, and hasten to make some reparation, Joe Wyatt entered East High in 1914, almost contemporaneously with the commencement of the struggle in which he was to fall. After one-half year he left to enter an automobile school. Lavter he remained at home, until America entered the war, when he joined the army. He soon went overseas and was placed in the trenches. He was killed on July 18, one of 'those who sacrificed their lives at the critical period when the German hosts were sweeping toward Paris, and who stemmed the tide at the turning point of the war. 1 1-is quit Alumni. Carl Juline, '16, is a junior at the University of Illinois. Joy Hervey, '17, and Madge Vest, '17, will be on fthe lyceum circuit this summer. Ethel Wilson, '17, is studying music at Dra.ke. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Irwln are -the proud parents of a baby girl. Major Worthington of the 168th is one of East High's alumni. Cjarence Bishard, '15, has been discharged from the army and has been home for some time. Anne Hersberg, '15, is now employed at the office of the Des Moines Capital. Leona Dietz, '18, spent a week end in Des Moines recently. The last letter from Paul Schaffer brought the news of his being on his way home. Clair Thomas, '18, has gone to Kentucky for a short time and may make his permanent home there. William Kelso, '18, is soon to be home with the others of our boys who are of the Rainbow Division. lt Cupid has had any spare time lately it surely is not the fault of the alumni of East High. Beulah Park and Allan Hobson did their share in keeping him busy. Agnes Wright gave us a pleasant sur- prise Saturday, May 3 in her marriage to Mr. Homer A. Stone of In- dlanola. Another marriage, that of Harry Stieglitz and Bessie Win- frey is expected between the first and the fifteenth of May. Football Prospects. FTER two weeks ol! good hard spring training the prospects for a 1919 championship football team are very good. The team will be strengthened a great deal by Walters, captain 1917, and Hanstrom, captain-elect 1918, who has' been in Siberia. We lose seven veterans, Strowbridge, Watts, King, Tillotson, Niel- son, McKee and Aldera. Those who will be here are Krueger, John- son, P. Hartuug, Hibbs, Tew, Garretson, Mcloees, and Ridgeway from the team, and for the vacancies we have good material in Tillotson, Carr, Bolinger, Ashby, and R. I-Iartung in the backiield, and Little, Cork, Waltersteacl, Hill, Ginsberg, Eisenlauer, Bogue, Holsaple, Mitchell, Bolen, and 'Hall for the line. The schedule is Indianola, here, Sept. 273 Oskaloosa, there, Oct. 43 Oct. 11, open, Newton, Oct. 18, here, Council Bluffs, Oct. 25, thereg Sioux City, Nov. 13 'West High, Nov. 83 Nov. 15, openg North High, Nov. 22. These are some of the heaviest and fastest teams in the state, but those are the kinds we like, and under Coach Moyer, Blat' tcnberg, and Strowbridge we w.ill have a championship team.

HEN so many of East High's boys answered our country's call we all hoped and prayed for their safety. In spite of this eleven of them lost their lives in service. East High felt tha.t the least that could be done to show our appreciation of all they had given for our safety would be to plant a tree as a living memorial to each, so on Thursday, May 1, at one thirty, the entire school re- sponded to the call of the bugle and gathered in groups of a hundred or more about a newly planted tree in the parking. Eleven members of the student body gave dedication speeches, as follows: Lieut. Earl Anderson-Lola Thomas. Jack Burke--John Scovel. Fred Eberle-Mary Gordon. Lieut. Edwin Hites-Howard Wicks. Theodore Kirne-Stuart Ball. Fred O. MacNulty-David Bolen. Miles M. McBeth-Dorothy Graves. John Patterson-Victoria Love. Elmer Spears--Jay Mitchell. Ed. Sterzing-Madeline Mershon. J oe Wyatt-Ralph Jester. After the speeches, .the various groups marched in order to the main entrance and formed on the main walk leading to the entrance. Here America was -sung and the entire school faced the flag while it was being drawn up and at the close gave the flag salute. The entire ceremony was the most impressive that our High School ever held. Each one entered into the services with all his heart and soul. In after years when we see these trees, we will al- ways be reminded of those boys and the splendid service they did for us.

E are now drawing near to the end of the llrst year of work for the Amos Hiatt Junior High School and we very natur- ally turn to survey the results in an attempt to determine if the junior high school movement is really as desirable as its ad- vocates have predicted that it would be. It is of course extremely difdcult for those directly connected with such an 'institution to be ab- solutely unbiased in their judgments, but since they are closest to the situation and know most about the immediate conditions, their opinions may perhaps be accepfted at their face value. It is no doubt unnecessary to remind anyone of the demoralizing effect which the two interruptions caused by the flu last fall had upon our school work. The Junior High School suffered more than some other schools because of the fact that much of the work in the way of organization had to be done over aiiter the quarantines. In spite of the handicaps-not the least of which is a building which is poorly arranged-some good results have been accomplished. Nearly six hundred pupils have been enrolled in the Amos Hiatt Junior High and at the beginning of the second semester of this year a small building 'two blocks east of the main building was opened to accommodate 'the new pupils who came at that time. This building will house about a hundred more than are now there and this num- ,ber of new pupils will be received there this coming September. There are now twenty-four teachers in the corps and three or four more will be added. One of the best evidences of the success of the Junior High is the splendid spirit of loyalty and pride which is manifested by the pupils. Our visitors, especially those who have attended our assemblies, have been impressed with the pep which our pupils have. This pep is shown thru the singing of school songs, the giving of school yells, and by participation in all of the various and varied school activities with an enthusiasm which produces results. Elements of leadership have been discovered in a number of cases and initiative has been fostered whenever it has appeared in a desirable form. These qualities have carried over in a marked degree to classsroom orl-IE quit work and high standard-s have been maintained. A recent check on the sixty-five B freshmen showed that out of that number there was but onepupil who was failing and he in but a single subject. On a basis of four subjects to each pupil, this would iigure less than a half per cent of failure. A large high school in the southeastern part of this state recently reported thirty-three per cent of failures among its B Freshmen. Everything possible is being done to encourage pupils to finish the Junior High and enter the Senior High and we expect to furnish much of the pep for East High in the days to come. We have enjoyed our relations with East High through the Quill and in other ways and wish to voice our appreciation of all courtesies. We are always ready to reciprocate in kind. Not the least important of our school activities have been ,the va- rious forms of athletics. We have made a good showing in base b-all and have developed considerable interest in track. Next year with the experience of this as a guide, we shall expect to do even better. We greatly appreciated the visits to our school in January of Mr. Amos Hiatt, the man for whom our school was named. He inspired us with the charm of his personality and the integrity of his char- acter. We have taken his advice as our motto and we are sure that this junior high will have a large measure of success for WE CAN- IF WE THINK WE CAN. R. J. Cornell. The One Hundred, Sixty-Eighth. ELCOME home, brave soldiers of the One Hundred Sixty-eighth, Our hearts for you are yearning, while your hearts are filled with faithg No regiment was braver than the one from Iowa And we're glad to have you with us o11ce again, and proudly say: Welcome home, brave soldiers, we are with you, one and all, We supported you in Belgium where you made the Germans fallg We have followed all your movements, from old Iowa to the Rhine, So we're here to tell you that you surely did do due. So here's a welcome greeting to our boys from o'er the sea, Who fought so well and did so much to win Democracy! In Memoriam. NOTHER gold star has been added to our Service Flag. George Reese was not only among the youngest but the first to enter the great confiict. He enlisted in the British Army and left for overseas October 9, 1917. He belonged to the King's Shropshire Light Infantry. While digging a dugout, he was hit by a piece of shrapnel and in- 'amp HE quit stantly killed October 9, 1918. Word of his death was late in reaching his home and but little information has been received concerning his service, except that he saw much hard service with the British Army in Belgium. e 6'Play Ball! MOS HIATT Won the championship of East Side section when the A team defeated Phillips at Union Park, May 9, by the score of 9 to 1. Snyder held Phillips to but live scattered hits, While Hiatt batted out thirteen safe hits. Phillips was no match for our team, and it was the splendid playing of every boy on the team that Won the 'game for Amos Hiatt. Tuesday, May 12, at the Gun Club our boys easily won their first game in the dual round by defeating Casady, 17 to 3. As a matter of fact, there is no secret to SUCCESS.
