A coming-in party, more or less formal, was given for all the debutantes and debutantors entering the gay, social life of liast High in 1921. Some of the girls dressed up in their graduation dresses, but all of the boys, being much more vain than the girls, acquired a high polish to their hair and shoes alike, and put on their best polka-dot ties. We presented our invitation, engraved in very best taste on the opposite side of pink slips, to a Senior standing at the door, and, to make a good impression, knocked our heads three times on the floor to show our complete submission to the wishes of the upper classmen. A senior boy gave us our welcome in a low, dignilied, awe-inspiring manner, and a freshman girl returned the compliment in a high, trembling voice. Next, we played games and got acquainted with Seniors, and teachers who did not know us. Never will we forget the thrill received when asked if we were seniors or freshmen, and each of us was secretly glad he thought he didn't look as green as our other classmates. As all good children get rewards, we each received a stick of candy and an apple. l think that apple and candy furnished us with an incentive to be good for four years. Cliristnizts Carols Every year just before the Christmas holidays the students pause to listen to Christmas carols which are sung in the corridors by the Girls' Glee Club. These melodies, sweet and clear, suggest more than words can tell. Year after year the carolers go up and down the corridors singing the old hymns. The low, sweet strains of Holy Nightl' come floating into the classrooms. At once studies are forgotten and a solemn stillness falls over the classes. As the words of the old familiar song reaches our ears a beautiful picture rises before our eyes. We can see the Christ-child lying in the manger, the Virgin lylary watching over him, and the WVise lylen kneeling, offering their gifts of frankincense and myrrh. The music grows gradually softer and softer until finally it dies away in the dis- tance, leaving us with deep and solemn thoughts and a realization of what Christmas reallv is. The First Senior Meeting There will be a senior meeting in the assembly room the seventh period. For almost four years we had heard such announcements read, but each time they referred to another class, a higher, more distinguished group than ours. This time as the announcement was read, we slowly realized that it applied to us, and to us only- we were the elite of the school. We walked rather daxedly into the assembly room. There we saw faces as radiant as ours, each bearing that same perplexed look of ,ioy utoo good to be truef' ,-Xs the principal rose to speak, a thrill passed through each of us. We were Seniors at last, and this, the first senior meeting, was material proof that we had arrived. 25 , 2 f .. .,. . ..,..-..ig',,g? N X 'f-W ' L9 - 'Fi' A. 'X L Pep Assemblies One other thing can never be forgotten by graduates of East High. Vivid in our memory will always be the familiar question: Will we beat West Highin And we can never rid our ears of the deafening reply, HYEAA BO! l The team seated on the platform, looking just a little nervous, the crowded assembly room-these are things which will recur to us over and over again. ls there one who cannot remember the famous Dr, Mayo's pep pillsn and the genuine enthusiasm which they inspired? Shall we ever forget the memorable con- flict between Prince Harris and the valiant Prince Hoyt for the beautiful princess, City Championship? As we look back over our days at East High, pep assemblies will stand out as an important and unforgettable factor in our school life. Our Main Highway Trying to get through the front hall about 8:25 involves more brain work than a cross-word puzzle. You start to your right, and then to your left. You begin thinking yourself quite ignorant for even having tried it. Why, there are Seniors who have been trying to make it for four years, and they havenit got any farther than the bulletin board. There stand about twenty-five of them all talking so loudly you can't understand any of them. Therefore, you have to find out for yourself, and you start making your way to the bulletin board, and there you see the cause of the excitement in big black letters, VERY IMPORTANT SENIOR MEETING THE SEVENTH PERIOD. DON'T FAIL TO BE THERE. That very sign reminds you that you had promised to meet your English teacher the 7th period in order to make up some work, and you had forgotten all about it. What would she sayl And then, a thought comes to you that almost makes you jump for joy. Why you are a SENIOR now, and just two more weeks till graduation, teacher won't say a word, for she knows that you will soon be gone, and she hates so much to see you go. Introducing Our Parents Of all our memories, the Parent-Faculty party will be one of the brightest. If Parents or Faculty had any sedateness or dignity it was lost in the whirl of fun. A dignified senior trying to maintain order in a room of noisy, unruly parents is a picture not easily forgotten. Nor will We forget the many times they were called to the oflice for chewing gum. We do not wonder that there was no order in the classes when the teacher tried to impress upon the parents the importance of letting the children rule the home. The fellowship that prevailed that night will always remain in our memory. An Impressive Spirit There are many impressive customs and happenings at East High, the Pep Assemblies, Noon Programs, Organizations, the singing of Christmas Carols, and even the building itself. Nevertheless, East has one thing which is far greater and more commendable than any of these. That is the spendid spirit of friendship and fellow- ship existing among teachers and students. A friend is the most prized gift that God bestows upon us. l am sure that anyone who traverses the corridors of this school, if he does but half his share, cannot fail to find the staunchest, the strongest, and the truest friends he ever possessed. l am quite certain that any honest conscientious person who has labored in this building a year or two will be able to say with Richard Watson Gilder: The years are angels that bring down from Heaven Gifts of the gods. What has the Angel given Who last night vanished up the Heavenly wall? He gave a friend-the gods' best gift of all. 26 ' CAN YOU IMAGINE MfXRGARl'1'I' GROVES, Rosena Weissinger, Anna Presser, and Anna Linclbeck, holding Friday afternoon exercises in a country school?

New, because many of the older members have graduated and new students have taken their placs. With clock-like precision all of the business is carried through and the meeting turned over to the program committee. During the semester some wonderful pro- grams have been offered in the way of debates on various subjects of national and inter- national interest. An interesting feature of the program at the beginning of the semester was a mock trial in which the president was tried. Nor are all of the entertainments confined to members alone. The club took charge of a noon program in the early part of the semester and for twenty minutes or so the fifth and sixth period students were entertained by a quartet, a saxophone solo, and a reading, all given by various members of the club. Another social feature not confined to members alone was a party given in the school gymnasium on the evening of November Sth. Dancing was the main feature of the evening, although several games of Rook were played by those not dancing. TPIE STUDENT COTTNCIL Numerous and varied have been the activities of the Student Council this year. While, since the publication of the last Quill no spectacular accomplishment has overshadowed the others, many necessary and important actions have been taken. Among these are the erection of the drinking fountain in the Gymnasium, the pur- chase of the flags of the allies for use in the auditorium, rendering assistance in the Quill drive, the purchase and framing of a copy of Darling's prize winning car- toon of 1923, and participation in the highly successful Parent-Teachers, meeting of December 12th. During the past few weeks several requests have been received from high school principals in different sections of the country for a copy of the constitution of the Council. The letters state that Fast Des Nloines is regarded as one of the few high schools that has a really successful Student Council. The Council regards as the primary reason for whatever it may have attained the splendid co-operation of the student body. It wishes to take this opportunity to as- sure every student of its sincere appreciation of the line loyalty and spirit of help- fulness that has been so often exhibited during the past semester. JUNIOR Y. VV. C. A. The Fast High ,lunior Y. W. has been growing steadily since its organization and is stronger this year than ever. There are now fifty girls enrolled and we expect to initiate many more. At present our ofiicers are as follows: President, Pauline xlackson, vice-president, Dorothy Huggins, secretary, Ida Levine, treasurer, Vernita Kirkland. Chairman of the committees are: Program, Dorothy Huggins, social, Dorothy Grey, publicity, Mary Caspe, service, Vernita Kirkland, membership, lda Levine. The advisers are Miss Woodman, Miss Scott, and Miss Buxton. The girls are active, dependable freshmen who are taking an active interest in our club. We have great hopes that our club will be a true and loyal one. We know it will, with the backing of all of the freshmen students. 29 I- L i---M - H X X.. if-' FORENSIC CLUB The Forensic Club has joyously passed another semester true to form. Political talks, humorous and serious debates, parties, and a noon day program have formed the background of its meetings the past semester. With the gay spirit and the feeling of friendship that have been manifested, a semester that will long be remembered by some thirty odd fellows has been passed, and everyone is looking forward to a still more interesting and educational period next semester4if such a thing be possible. At the time of election, speeches were given on the characters of the candidates, their platforms, and their promises for the future. Possibly some fathers have ex- perienced unexpected difhculties when trying to explain to their wives how good or bad certain candidates were for vice versaj because of these talks, but on the whole, these speeches did much to arouse the boys' interest in national problems. Then, what could be more full of fun than a good, humorous debate? Also, what could be more educational, and worth while, than a debate on some modern problem, such as the World Court? Speeches and debates have furnished the programs, but other things as well have been accomplished. A party was given, to which the Philomathean and Dramatic Clubs were invited. Also a noon day program was presented to the students, and, if hand clapping means anything, it surely went over big. The Forensic Club re-dedicates itself to the school's service and promises both the school and students that .its service shall be more valuable in the years to come, than it has been in the years that have gone. HI-Y CLUB All East High knows them-the true Hi-Y fellows, whose clean sportsmanship, habits, speech, and scholarship cause their name to be known throughout the school. For the club, a most prosperous semester has flown by. ' Character building speeches, Joint Hi-Y-Y. W. Banquet, Football Banquet, Convention at Waterloo, Mother-Son Banquet, and a rip-roaring membership contest have formed the nucleus about which the club has built its meetings. Musical numbers, and humorous and serious talks have afforded the members inter- esting and enjoyable programs. A group of boys attended the convention at Waterloo and brought back good reports on it. The Joint Hi-Y-Y. W. banquet, and football sup- per slipped by in a very commendable manner. At the MOILCT-S011 Banquet, mothers were interesting spectators to an induction ceremony, when a great number of boys were taken into the club. Then came the thing that caused the boys to do what so seldom boys will do-work and work hard. With the club divided into two teams, members went about school for two weeks getting boys to join. Over sixty new members were taken in and now a very pleasant evening is being anticipated by half the club. But, fellows, it's some of the speeches and talks given that do most toward creating clean sportsmen, clean habits, clean speech, and clean scholarship. The Hi-Y is one of the oldest and best friends a boy has and is open and wants all who have the desire to uphold its standards. LATTTV CLLTB You don't hear any of the Latin Club members saying, Latin is a dry subject. The programs of this club have been planned to stimulate the interest in the Latin language. The club is planning to give a Latin play, learn Latin songs, and study points of interest in this romantic language. The members enjoyed an interesting social during Hallowe'en season. The Cumean Sibyl, a fortune teller of Roman times, was present and told many interestings things about the futures of the members. The club is planning a noon program to be given during this semester. Do we think Latin is a dead language? Well, just ask one of the members of the Latin Club. 30 7! 2 4- --- -QW? X xiii is Y. W. e. A. Personality, Upopularityfy world fellowship, and health are the Words ex- pressing Y. Wf' for the past few months. Miss Pritchard talked to the girls on popularity, and every girl felt that she would be very popular within the next few days. 'KWorld Fellowship Weekl' was observed by an appropriate program which was very interesting. A little playlet was given by some of the' girls to bring just a little closer to every one a thought about our foreign nations. The plot of this play was as follows: A beautiful Chinese maiden was madly in love with a certain young gentleman. The maidenls father was very much opposed to the love affair and brought another suitor for his daughter's hand. This man he admired and wanted for a son-in-law. The two lovers disappeared and went to a hiding place where they lived happily together for some time. Later the father and jilted lover found the happy pair and the disappointed lover killed the true lovers with a butcher knife. But their love was not cut asunder, for the happy couple ascended to heaven by way of a ladder leaning against the wall. This was very amusing and thrilling. The YU has a large membership now, but, girls of Fast High, the Y. VV. C. A. wants you. SHAKRSPEAREAN CLUB The Shakespearean Club, as I110st of us know, is one generally composed of the seniors of our school who are studying the unrequired subject of senior English. As a result of this composition, the club will lose several of its members with the close of this semester. The Shakespearean Club has had some quite interesting meetings this semester. On November 21 its semesterly initiation was held at Union Park cabin in the form of a picnic supper, and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present, although some of the new members had come out with rather unnaturally long faces and uneasy manners. The second meeting of particular interest was on December 19 in the Public Speak- ing Room and was in the form of a Christmas party. After lfrnest Porter and Sherman Green had presented a scene from f'The Rivalsf' each member of the club received a gift from a grab bag. Each gift was accompanied by a quotation from Shakespeare, an accompaniment which in several cases proved quite amusing. The present officers of the Shakespearan Club consider that the club has passed quite a successful semester and forecast a very favorable outlook for next semester's activity. RADIO CLUB The East High Radio Club has been holding meetings practically every week this semester. Since its organization last spring the meetings have taken on the aspect of discussion classes, in which nearly every phase of radio was taken up. Through the courtesy of Mr. Astor, the faculty adviser of the club, the members now have the privilege of using the auto mechanics shops one afternoon a week, for the construction of various radio apparatus. ln the near future some very fine sets are to be completed. During this semester, two radio assemblies were put on. The first, just before the East-North game, consisted of a group of East High students, who produced musical programs, speeches, etc., from the various well-known stations. Of course there was no doubt after we listened to President Coolidge, that the thing was a fake, but for a while it was doubtful. Another afternoon, during National Education Week, one of our East High students gave a short talk from the Des Moines station VVHO. We were able to tune in on this, and enjoyed the speech immensely. The apparatus used in both of these programs was obtained through the efforts of the Radio Club. , 31 B 2 gigs THE NORMAL TRAINING CLUB The semester's work of the Normal Training Club has consisted mainly of a group of interesting demonstrations and speeches by people outside of the department. There have been a few programs given by the girls of the club. The girls have spent a good deal of their time on display and project work. Among the many interesting demonstrations and speeches given were those of Miss Gilbert and Miss Needles. fMiss Gilbert gave a demonstration on making leaf-prints. The girls joined in the fun and made a group of familiar leaves for the State Teach- ers' Exhibit. Miss Needles gave us a speech on her Over Sea Worki' which pertained to Armistice Day. She brought out the decrease of deaths from diseases since the Civil War, this decrease is caused by better medical service and progress in that line. She gave us a clear, vivid picture of the agonies and hardships of the people of the Allies. The girls also had the opportunity of going into the country to attend one of the Lee township board meetings. It was a new experience for most of us and we got a great many helpful ideas. Altogether, the Normal Training Club has had the best time evern and we are sorry to have a great many of the girls leave the department to go to teach their own schools, but we wish them all the good luck in the world. We will Welcome all the new girls next semester and will begin with new efforts for 1925. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais has held three meetings this semester. The first was merely a business meeting, but the last two were business and social affairs. The most important business we have had this semester was the discussion about pins. Two different patterns were submitted to the club, a small round pin, about the size of our standard senior pin, and a very small pin, the design of a fleur de lis. The small fieur de lis pattern seemed to be the most popular with the club as a whole. It was finally accepted. At the second meeting, Louise Burnett, our program committee chairman, had planned a very interesting program. Dorothy Ellison gave a spooky Hallowe'en read- ing and Zoe Ringrose recited A Rockin' in De Wind. She also planned a program for the third meeting. Neola Kerr played Spring Showersf' a very pretty piano solo, Stanley Wilson recited effectively The Defense of Tyrannyf' Katherine Grogan whistled Memory Lane, accompanied by Neola Kerr, and Lois Lineweaver read Billy Brad and the Big Lie. . We then went out into the corridor and enjoyed French games and a dish of ice cream with a sponge cake. CAMP FIRE CLUB T Almost every girl in Fast High knows or has heard of the Camp Fire law- Seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, and be happy and would love to hear more about it. This year the programs for the meetings are based on the different points of the law. At each meeting we hope to have some well-known Des Moines man or woman speak to us on one of these points. The Fast High Camp Fire Club was not organized to be merely a club, but to give more girls a chance to realize what a real Camp Fire girl ought to be, and what Camp Fire work is. A Camp Fire girl learns to love the out of doors and the study of nature. But Camp Fire does not limit its 'activities to out of doors. A great many honors won by girls are won by work in the home, dish-washing, ironing, and bed making are not drudgery if you know you will receive a bead for doing the work for a certain length of time. . 32 Q W . ggkfs --. Q GIRLS, DRAMATIC CLUB The girls of the Dramatic Club are going in high at full speed in their tradi- tional manner. Our peppy programs, due to our capable committee, are one of our greatest assets. A new system introduced recently, by this committee, to get unusual programs, to help the girls get experience, gain confidence in themselves, and practice in handling and developing programs, is very successful. The club is divided into live parts and a girl chosen from each one for a director, then each group under the direction of its leader is to put on an entertainment at a meeting. The first was the play l'atsy,', directed by Evelyn Walker. Wasnlt Patsy with her lrish brogue cute? And weren't you disappointed when her lover didn't come on the stage? Didnlt it give you a terrible feeling when Nita's engagement was about to be broken? Dorothy Sargent's group put on a Minstrel Show. The professionals had nothing on us, did they girls? Remember our end men and those costumes? Nuff sed. The remaining three groups are planning amusing affairs that are sure to interest the girls. PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY During the fall semester the programs of this society have dealt with the works of various authors, such as James Whitcomb Riley and Eugene Field. The life of the particular author selected is given and some of his most important writings are reviewed. ln this interesting way, knowledge of various important literary work is given to the girls. At one of the early meetings of this semester the girls had the rare privilege of hearing Miss Gabriel tell of her travels in Egypt, after the talk delicious frappe was served. After a very interesting Christmas program on December ll, Santa Claus left a pleasant surprise for each girl in the form of a candy cane. The society gave a noon program December 15. The entertainment was a one-act comedy entitled, The Revolt by Ellis Parker Butler. lt is hoped that another society of this kind may be formed in East High soon which will enable a greater number of girls to enjoy the opportunities and pleasures offered the Philomathean girls, and will tend toward more fully developed literary LIBRARY CLUB At the first meeting of the Library Club, on October 13th, we agreed to call the club the Library Round Table. This is a new club in East High, and we are trying to make it have as high standards as the other school clubs. At the election of officers, the following were chosen: Martha Seamans, presi- dent, Irma May, vice-president, Nora Gooding, secretary and treasurer. The com- mittee officers are: Social, Dorothy Burrows, program, lrma May, publicity, Celia Goldstein. Our adviser is Miss Cavanaugh. At our meetings, we have book reports given, and sometimes speakers to address us. A general program is also planned for each meeting. We all hope to make this club a success. lf you are interested in joining, please give your name to any of the officers or committee chairmen. THE BAND Now that the football season is over some people do not know that we have a Band, but if they are in school in the afternoon on either Monday or Wednesday they will hear them playing. What is the purpose of the Band? The aim of each member is to become a better musician and to play for the school when called upon. lf you play a band instrument you are invited to join the Band next semester. 33 work in East High School.

Seniors Ire told by more mature people that they :ire living the best years of their lives. Perh1ps thu are, 0ne's future is so indefinite. But between their moments of pleabure 'md cur ricular labors they find time for more serious thought. 34 - Q - ,, ,...,. - .... .,. . 2 X S.-K.X ' The senior has no more moments of elation at the thought of graduating, but rather a distinct feeling of having lost something. And so he will, for who that has ever severed associations that have continued and grown through four years will question that feeling? it is inevitable that this feeling should exist. However, it is just as natural that it does not last for long. The business world, the world of our parents holds, besides its strange fascination, a spirit. This spirit is, oddly enough, an exact replica of our own school spirit, except of course it is much broader and more extensive. It will do much to fuse the interests of the graduate and the interests of others about him. Yet, in spite of the fact that the future looms very formidable, the senior is not outwardly daunted. Who has not seen one of their number very much like a modern Atlas with the cares of all the world seemingly resting upon his capable shoulders? They do not hesitate to accept the burden, heavy as it may be, it is a pleasure to be so weighted. No matter how ludicrous this picture may seem, it is nevertheless for- tunate that the senior is willing to take the added responsibilities without faltering. We are told that this appearance of confidence is the offspring of inexperience, but it is the fate of every man to be at one time inexperienced, and yet the world has rolled on and progressed in spite of this fact. Of course there are memories, some of which leave us sad. These are the memo- ries of happy days spent at this school, of honors won, of friendships conceived, of functions attended, and of the schoolls splendid spirit. . And then, too, there are the thoughts of responsibilities shirked and of opportunities ungrasped. To forget the enjoyable events in our school life would be a sign of indifference, a symptom of a coarse mind and calloused heart. But it is with the latter type of reminiscence that we are interested. ' For of af! Jam' zconif of tongue 01' pen The rudder! are there: 'It might have been! J D17 The truth of the above quotation is vividly evident to the seniors. They have run the first lap, and knowing most of their shortcomings they will watch each stride and be expecting the dangerous curvesn ahead. There are among the graduates some who would like to start over again, or so they say. Perhaps a natural impulse, for who can say with certainty that the butterHy does not long for his cocoon and the insect for an earlier stage in his metamorphosis? All this is entirely probable, however, most of the graduates 'will leave the old chamber for the newv with a determination to think in the future, not in the past, and will continue to do their work in the world when it should be done and to the best of their ability. 4 RE SPON S IBILITY We are quite aware of the fact that the country is flooded with numerous formulas pointing out the surest road to success. Nevertheless, we have observed that those who have attained the greatest success are those who have accepted the greatest amount of responsibility. By success, we do not refer to a state of financial independence, but rather, to the attainment of an enviable character, a contented mind, and perhaps, some degree of fame. The happiest people, you see, are seldom the richest. One with an undegraded character, a peaceful conscience, or an envied name is far happier than a Midas, who wins his pecuniary success by the employment of merciless or cunning schemes. One cannot do a task requiring severe physical exertion without first having per- formed many smaller ones. just so, with accepting a great responsibility, one is unable to do it unless, previously, he has satisfactorily accepted small ones. 35 .a-aefg er ig We, therefore, conclude that if we seniors, who are about to take our places in the world, wish to lead happy, contented lives we ought never to refuse or avoid small responsibilities, as these are stepping stones to larger ones. And, heavy responsibilities lead directly to the goal of success. So, unless we are ready to carry real responsi- bilities, our course will be deflected from a life of attainment and turned to one STAYING ON TOP Every now and then We hear of some one Who, through a brilliant piece of Work or a kind fate, has reached the top in some line. At once We hail this person as the greatest of the great, and tell stories about his climb to the top. And the person? He stays on top till he is pushed off to make room for someone else. This fellow was pushed off, in most cases, because he stopped after reaching the goal of ambition. Then, is he a champion in his line? No, the real champion is the one who can win a world--title today and go back to work tomorrow with the same spirit and determination that he had before. We are too prone to take a vacation after achieving some distinc- tion or winning some honor. We forget that a similar success has been won by others, that others are after the same good fortune, and that the World will not stop and mark time while we rest. Then we awake to the fact that the world didnit Wait, and we are lost. This marks the place where failure begins. We don't like to admit it, but a thing loses its glamour after We once get it. When one is climbing to the top, he is inspired by a fire which drives him on and on, beating down all opposition. When he gets to the top, he no longer has the desire forcing him on. Then, faced With the possibility of losing his laurels, the man on top feels some of the old urge. If he can recall enough of the old spirit to overcome that fire of conquest raging in the blood of the challenger, he wins and keeps his place. If not, he loses. Now Why Wait for this possibility of losing your success before putting forth your best attempts? We are not doing our duty if we do not give our best at all times. THE NEEDED IMPROVEMENT A great magician stood before the crowd! Their eyes protruded as they watched him With amazed incredibility and wonder. How can he do itll' Isn't that wonderfull Ohl that seems almost impossi- ble! Such were some of the remarks made by the audience. One man arose and asked, How are you able to do all those seemingly impossi- ble things? V By continually trying with all my might, the magician answered. So We, the pupils of East High School, could fill our halls and classrooms with beautiful and educational pictures if we would but continually try. We could have inspirational and emotional pictures that would reflect the ideals of this period, if our best were given. Perhaps you, the reader, have visited a home With nothing but bare walls to look at. Isn't it Wonderful to sit there and spend the evening looking at them, and isn't it easy to talk of pleasant things and have an enjoyable evening if you can't play some game like bridge or chess or ma jongg, or work a cross-word puzzle? Of course not. So it is in East High. Students can't sit in a classroom and study, or pass about in the halls and continue to have a good time, if there is nothing but bare walls to look at. Then, pictures are educational. If pupils could see a painting of The Last Supper,', or The Crucifixionn hanging on the wall Where it could be easily seen, it would recall to their minds the Words of the Bible, if they could see an illustration of The Round Table of King Arthur,', it would remind them of the early English days, when existence was a struggle and schools were unheard of, they would be re- minded of the great advancement of the World in all lines, and they would appreciate more the chance they have to obtain an education. 36 of failure. bat2:D in Q35 EAST HIGH QUII,I, HONORED At the recent lowa High School Press Convention held at Grinnell, December Sth and 6th, the Quill, in spite of the stiffest competition, fairly walked off with honors. Allan Ashby, a senior, is the author of the editorial, The Extra Load, which captured first honors against hfty entries, and brought home to East High a silver cup which has been placed in the trophy case. The Quill, as a whole, received second prize in the magazine contest against seven competitors. Besides the honors, the Quill stalI's representatives to the convention, Harry Hartwick, editor, Ernest Porter, associate editor, and Gene Grey, art editor, in uni- son with Miss VVood reported that they were entertained royally. The Grinnell chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, the honorary journalistic fraternity, acted as host to the convention and was ably assisted by the student body. O Q Q CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY The students of East High were given a very effective assembly on Friday morn- ing, December 19th. A portion of the Bible was read, telling of the journey of the three wise men to see the new born babe, Jesus. Then in a series of stories and tableaux, the story of Artaban, the wise man who failed to see Jesus, was told. The tableaux were illustra- tions of the stories. Q 0 Q HONORING EAST HIGH STUDENTS The East Des Moines High School re- cently placed bronze memorial tablets honoring the former students who served in the Spanish-American and lVorld Wars. The tablets contain the names of 542 former pupils, beginning back at 1877. Among the service men repre- sented, are two who have attained the . highest rank which the country can con- fer on army men in peace times. They are Major General George Read in the class of 1877, who will retire during the present month after service in both wars, and John Hull, ofthe class of 1890, who received the rank of major general re- cently. Col. Frank Harris and Col. Ned B. Rehltopf, both regular army men, also appear on the lists. Commander Roy W. Ryden of the United States Navy is an- other East High man who has attained a high position in the service. The names of only three women appear. They are Edna Crowe, Forence McRae and Agnes Ellison, who were in the nursing service during the last war. 0 0 Q THANKSGIVING OFFERING During home room periods on Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday, a collec- tion was taken up for the Iowa Chil- dren's Home. This collection is taken up every year, sometimes in the form of food, but usually in the high schools it is a money collection. For several years this collection has averaged 3S6U.0O. This year the collection amounted to 573.259, Q Q Q ' EAST HIGH GIRLS VVIN DE- CLAMATORY CONTEST Two East High girls won first place in the inter-high school Girls' Declamatory Contest held at Roosevelt High Friday evening, December 12th. Roosevelt High girls were second, while North and West High entries placed third and fourth, re- spectively. Lillian Bradley won hrst place in the dramatic division, giving How the La Rue Stakes Were Lostf' Sara Thomas placed second in the humorous division with the reading, A Pleasant Day at the Beachf, A piano solo by Velma Shipp, and sev- eral selections by the Roosevelt string quartet added much pleasure to the en- tertainment of the evening. H 2 W EAST HIGH HOMECOMING On the evening of Armistice Day a group of alumni, faculty, and present students gathered in the East High audi- torium to honor the men who served in the Spanish-American and World Wars. Miss May Goodrell presided. Addresses were given by Lafayette Young, Mr. Burton and Mr. Peterson. The audience was led in singing war songs by Ed Lytton and Clifford Bloom. A quartet composed of Tyne Buck, Ed Lytton, Harley Taylor and Clifford Bloom sang, Land O' Minev and My Uwn United States' Judge Eskil Carlson dedicated two bronze' memorial tablets, one to Spanish War veterans, the other to the boys who fought in the late war. These tablets were given to the school by the alumni. They will be placed in the front lobby, where all may see them. These memo- rials were unveiled by three young girls, Peggy Bennet, Mary Garton and Isabelle Conkling. The assembly ended with the playing of the national anthem, the singing of America,l' and the sounding of Taps This homecoming was a decisive proof that that incalculable spirit which sur- rounds East High is a thing which re- mains with a person after the years ac- tually spent in East High are but pages in the great book of memories to be cher- ished forever. Q Q Q EAST HIGH HOLDS TROPHY ASSEMBLY The big assembly for East High this semester was held the morning of De- cember 10th. The assembly room was packed with students as this was Trophy Dayf, ' The first thing on the program was a talk by Miss Margaret McKee, superin- tendent of physical education, in which she gave a very interesting account of her trip to France with the Olympic athletes and the interesting things she saw. Coach Hoyt was then called upon and responded with a speech. He followed this by presenting football monograms to sixteen football men. Harry Lindbloom, captain of the team, . Kgfga presented the city championship cup to the school and remarked that he was cer- tain it would remain here. Then Dr. P. G. Watters presented us with a large sil- ver football trophy as the reward for having the team with the highest scholar- ship rating in the city. The average grade for the team was a little under a two. Mr. Hoyt remarked that this trophy meant more than the city championship cup, because it showed the high mental caliber of our team.

The theme of the march depicts those thrilling, tense moments during a game in which it almost seems as though fate itself was either for or against, also times of proud, joyous victory. There was also a football stunt in the form of a Punch and Judy show in which an East High football player begged his mother and father, alias Punch and Judy, to attend the coming football game and yell for East High. Pep songs were sung to the tunes of Sweet Adeline, lt Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo',,' Old Fashioned Gardenf' Good Morning, Mr. Zip, Zip, Zipf' and others. aile-PQ.-I.-QQ s zig NIARTHA-BY-'I'I'IE-DAY Successful high school plays have heen presented time and time again, but the extraordinarily successful play is a rare thing.

The parts in the play were remarkably well presented. lwargaret Cronland, who did such a praiseworthv piece of work in the leading role of Peg O' My Heart last year, was at her hest in the characteriza- tion of Martha. Upon her appearance she was greeted ln' a liurst of appause from the audience and throughout the entire evening she more than succeeded in holding their attention. Don liurnett, as leading man, did a good piece of acting in his interpretation 39 of Frank Ronald, playing opposite Mary Garton. David Phillips did some good acting, while Lois Louise Thornburg and lfmily Albrecht did some very clever work in the roles of Martha's mischievous young datthters. lileanor Burton was excellent in her impersonation of Grandma Slawson, who just loved to pass the time away lay up, ' H ' av v, I h istenin in on other people s te ep one conversations, much to the distress of Martha.

This article endeavors to mention some who have been prominent in school activities. We cheer for our football team and heartily applaud those we see over the footlights, but the excellent student often goes his quiet way unpraised and unno- ticed by his classmates. However, the per- son who upholds the scholastic standing of his school and does a lot of club work besides is worthy of Commendation. Ruth Foster, Dorothy Lozier, and Edna Pear- son have had high grades, been promi- nent in clubs, and done Quill work. Ruth is now president of the Philomatheans, Edna is president of the Y. W. C. A. and Dorothy is active in the Dramatic Club, Camp Fire Club, and is a member of the Quill Staff. These girls deserve much credit for their efforts. Two boys who have high school rec- ords to be proud of are Harry Hartwick and Stanley Wilson. Besides having un- usually high scholarship standings, they have served East High in other ways. Harry is editor-in-chief of the Quill and has worked for its success long and faith- fully. Stanley has played leading roles in school plays, and has taken many hon- ors in debates and declamatory contests. Three senior girls whose activities have been along the same line are Mar- garet Nutt, Margarite Murray, and Lulu May Mason. All of these girls have been intensely interested in the Y. W. C. A. Also, these girls have been, or now are, Quill typists, Lulu acting in that capacity 'Ili , ...... . . ..,.,,-M-L-I-I I it .X NX N gf--. XS, in 1924- and Margaret and Margarite this semester. Margaret is service chairman of the Camp Fire Club, and Margarite is a Student Council member. Lulu, by the way, is Eastis youngest senior, for she is only fifteen years old. Several boys who have been very im- portant members of the swimming team are William Chennell, Basil Plummer and George Turbett. The success of the team for the past few years has been due to their efforts. William and George hold state championships, while Basil Plummer is widely known for his skill in aquatic sports. The two latter boys have held po- sitions as life guards. Some of the staunchest supporters of dramatics are graduating also. Among these students are Kathryn Cosson and Dorothy Ellison, who have been very use- ful in our school plays, have helped out in assemblies, and are active members of the Dramatic Club. When the call for men for track or football or basketball is sounded again, six men who have been active in athletics will be missing. Edwin Schlenker, track man for three years, Eugene Kuefner, Joe Story, Fred Sheets, and Harvey Inman who have basketball, track and football records, have served East High in other ways. Joe Story is president of the sen- ior class, Eugene Kuefner' is a member of the Quill Staff and Fred Sheets is chair- man of the athletic committee of the Stu- dent Council. Allan Ashby has quite a varied past in athletics, having been ac- tive in almost every phase of this work. He has worked on the Quill for a year, and will take a position as sports writer with the 'fOskaloosa Herald after gradu- ation. sr SJ x Q43 V tv c sr, Q N a o . u .ister ?+'f' JXF LT , XC! 4 kiix DSW' , VVINTER NIGHTS I don't see why the artists Don't paint pictures of the Especially in the winter, When the moon is shining The stars that seem so large ab night, bright ove Make diamonds in the snow, And everything's so deathly still, The winds forget to blow.

But there are bags of gold all around us. We must hunt for them and open them before we may become famous. Do you suppose Fdison, Marconi, Faraday, and any number of men who are writing their names in the history of men would be famous today if they had waited for an idea or an opportunity?

Q ' THE SI'EC'IlRE OF TI-IE SPECTATOR Quorum magna pars fui In wffiflf I zcaf rlzicf actor In this article, my readers will probably be most interested in the questions of why I am here,', Hwhat I look likef, and what I am to do.', Therefore, instead of relating to you the family traits and my own infantile and youthful character- istics, I shall merely refer you, if you desire to become acquainted with them, to my first essay entitled the Spectator', which you will find in the Papers of Sir Roger de Coverley. My name, the Spectre of the Spectator, tells you what I am. I am the spirit of the Spectator come back to earth to do penance for a sin of omission. In 1719 when my material body ceased activity, I started on the long journey to the Great Un- known. As I arose from the shell in which I had spent my material existence, I was met by a kindly spirit and led toward the golden gates of Heaven. After we had traveled quite a while, I noticed zz ruddy hue, which looked much as does a distant, burning building in the dead of night. The nearer we came, the larger and brighter it seemed. At last my companion stopped and signed to me that he must return to earth to guide other waiting souls, and that I should continue alone toward the blazing light. The confiagration, he informed me, was a cleansing fire through which my tarnished spirit must pass before I could even approach the entrance to Heaven. At the prospect of being alone in so new and strange a place, I trembled from beginning to end. fYou see, I had neither head nor toe now, they were left on earthj But before I could speak or make ll movement to stop him, my companion had gone, and the only thing left for me to do was advance. As I sped on toward the wonderful scene, the atmosphere became cleaner and hotter. The purifying illumination shed so bright a light that all people and objects seemed to be wearing a glistening robe of jewels. The roaring of the flames was so deafening that the Keepers of the Great Blaze had long ago given up trying to speak, but used exclusively a sign language. Finally I arrived at the very brim of the blaze. Several keepers pounced upon me, unrolled me, so that every inch of my spirit would be subject to the cleansing fire, and firmly nailed me to a hard fiat substance. When this was finished, I was shoved directly into the midst of the clarifying flame. The light was so clear and penetrating that I felt like a Cimmerian, seeing light for the first time. After quite a long time, I found the edge of the blaze and crawled out. Several guards very critically and carefully inspected my soul, smoothing it out, turning it over and over, and violently shaking it. But after making some signs among them- selves, I, to my intense sorrow, was thrown back. Time and time again I scrambled out, but after an examination I was always pushed back into the blaze. Finally, after a solemn conference, the guards unnailed me and allowed me to go on. My spirit seemed to shine and sparkle like a sunrise. I felt so clear, so light, and so airy that I wanted to dance, and would have done so had I not caught sight of the majestic splendor of Heaven's golden gates, immediately in front of me. Right merrily I started to float in between the portals, but Saint Peter's command- ing voice boomed out, demanding that I submit myself to his scrutiny. He carefully looked me over, and then told me that a long, dull streak marred my shine from beginning to end. This continuous dull streak tells mef' he said, running his finger along me, that you have committed a sin of omission. From the time you were a tiny babe 42 - ..,... H... R. . e ,141 , x i,,,,,,-N , ' until you came here you absolutely omitted and carelessly neglected to speak pleas- antly and conversantly with your fellow menf' QThe second and third paragraphs in the Spectator give you an account of my quietnessj K'You were given a tonguef, he went on, that you might speak amiably and kindly to your companions. You omitted doing this, and you must pay for it!,' So beautiful and wonderful did Heaven seem from my tiny glimpse of it, that I argued and pleaded with Saint Peter to allow me to enter, until he agreed to let me in on one condition. Every hundred years I was to return to earth, wrapped in an invisible cloak, and write on the customs, manners, and people of the Universe. This, you see, is my second return to earth. However, the papers which I wrote in the eighteen-hundreds were destroyed by Kaiser Wilhelm's father, because in one of them I made some severe criticisms about his sonls traits and tendencies. I sincerely hope, my dear readers, that in the following essays l shall please rather than offend any of you. I hope that you will look upon me as one who has graduated from the school of experience and has some valuable information which he wishes to impart to you rather easily and pleasantly. FF Plf Pl: PK PF Between these two essays, which are the first and last of a series, there appeared two papers treating the life and customs of the supposed inhabitants of Mars and the Moon, respectively. ak wk wk ak ak ON THE TAIL OF A COMET I returned, as l stated in my last article, to Saint Peter with all possible haste. Saint Peter saw me from afar and merrily waved his hand. Upon seeing this, I re- joiced, for then I knew that 1 had not displeased him with my writings. After I had arrived, my friend smiled and said, Spectre of the Spectator, unless I call you back to Heaven, you will make the people of the earth as wise as the spirits. So, come, I say, and forget the modernists of the Earth, the science of Mars, and the religion of the Moon. Come, and again dwell in peace in your beloved Heaven. Oh, kind words, what happiness you diffused through my soull No longer need I push a stubborn pen to inform the people of the Earth about the doings of the Universel As I turned to enter the portal of Heaven, lo and behold, there stood six of my best friends, King Tut, Caesar, Socrates, Solomon, Shakespeare, and Emerson. These kind friends had planned a jolly party for me. It was to be an all-night frolic of an unusual sort. They took me to a small planet near the Earth. From a place near there, my friends had learned, a comet was to follow the wings of night in order that earthly people might take more note of the splendors of the Heavens. It was this comet that my friends proposed to ride. As the fiery comet swung by, King Tut and Emerson jumped astride first. Then King Solomon and Socrates seated themselves together, lastly, Shakespeare, Caesar, and I scrambled board the speeding train. Oh, you human people, what a glorious time we had on that ridel King Tut and Emerson outdid Mark Twain himself, in cracking jokes. Solomon and Socrates were our songsters. But as the time progressed, Shakespeare became so lively that he rushed to the end of the comet, grabbed its tail and swung off. Hanging there, on the very tip, he jerked his spirit spasmodically, and thus caused the tail of the comet to crack the whipl' time and time again. What a wonderful ride that was, how beautiful the Heavens seemed! As we sped through the cool atmosphere, we could see in the distance the twinkling planets, stars, moons, and suns of the universe. On the planets which were near our path we could see strange forms of animal and vegetable life. We saw giants and pygmies, 43 F l i l H 2 , .... -- . ... . K NX T' X Eh . ' KH-.-v monstrous animals and queer fowls. We saw the most-but never mind, I shall not tell you any more, because some day I want every one of you to take a comet ride, and a detailed description might lessen your interest in doing so. Therefore, friends, if you would have a good time, remember the parting suggestion of the Spectre and on your first chance, snatch a ride on the tail of a comet. STARLESS NIGHTS I like a night without stars or moon, There is something in the impenetrable gloom That soothes me like a sad song. On starless nights the little memory ghosts slip out, And the wounds, that seemed to you would never heal, You find were only sweet, sad moments of eternity. Rosabelle Houston, IZ6. THE BOOK NOOK Brrrl' The North wind whistles through the chimney, and the very ghost of Edgar Allan Poe seems to be in each dark cornerl As I glance around the room a most inter- esting sight comes to my eyes, the book case, and those new books from Mr. S. Clausl Man, Maiden and Mantillaf, Stella May's last book which is included in the City Library Qnumber 916.41 takes me away to Spain for a journey among the castanets and boleros, where warm winds and sunshine drive the ghost of Il. A. Poe far away into the smallest niche in the atticl 'KThree Asses in Bolivia, by Lionel Portman, takes me to the land across the Canal fin the Library this book is listed as 918.4 p833tQ. This is what I found out about Bolivia, that the hotels are mostly dirt and bar-rooms, that the food consists of grease, rice, onions and more grease, that presidents are protected by game laws, or appear to be, since according to Mr. Portman they are never shot, that the principal products of Bolivia are lead, gold, tin and silver, and chiefly, the principal occupation of any one who ventures into Bolivia is trying to get out as quickly as he can. Although this was written in 1920 it is really the most interesting book which I have read for a long time. Back to Spain again! This magic land holds charm for those who are fond of building air-castles, and who can say that Spain is not the place to build them? This time to A Corner in Spainn Harris, listed as 914.6 H24D. We shall start from New York and go to Gibraltar, then on to Malaga, which from Miss Harris, point of View is an uninteresting town with dirty streets, and if you want anything you must do without it. But, the people are picturesque, and the good food and climate make up for the lack of French and English shops. Most of the authorls stay in Malaga was at the convent near which the Marquis of Cadiz was encamped during the time the Moors held the Fortress of Gibralfaro during the conquest of Granada. At this same convent was a donkey which was used to pump water from the ancient stone well. That is, the donkey was used when he saw fit, for unless he was blindfolded he would refuse to go around and 'round to draw water. All of which goes to prove that animals as well as native people of Spain are affected much the same way as far as work is concerned. Other impressions gained from this book are that the people are not nearly as happy as they are reputed to be. Their fairs are dull and far too decorous for the supposedly music-and-dancing loving Spain. Dirt and lack of food and water make living condi- tions, both in the better cities and in the suburbs, rather impossible. Ten Days in Spaini' QKate Field, 912.6, f453tj gives a very interesting account of a short trip to sunny Spain in company with a guide called 'fthe Blinkerw who remarked that if you trust me, Madame, have no fear, you will see everythingf' Perhaps the things which warmed me most while trying to drive the North wind away, was the fact that, even with the wind, I am glad that I can stay in America, and build my castle in Spain! 44- EAST 134XVA'l'E1iL0O 7 Un November 8th, lfast High took lfast W'aterloo into camp to the tune of 13 to 7. 'llhe boys were angry over their defeat from North High the week before and showed it in every play they made, especially George llourland, who tackled the visiting players so hard that they didnlt know whether he was playing or fighting. ln the second quarter lfiast marched down the field, scoring a touchdown when a penalty put the ball on the Orange one-yard line. lfrnie VVillis hid behind Sherman Green and Bus Davis and the boys couldn't find him until he crossed the goal line. Then in the third quarter we marched down to another score which was delayed just long enough to allow the VVaterloo punter to kick the ball up into a tree near the side lines. It was our ball on VVaterloo's five-yard line and liernahan plunged over for another marker which we regarded as unnecessary. VVe soon found that we needed this extra six points and even wished for a few more in the fourth quarter when liast lvaterloo finally got together. 'l'hey made one touchdown, kicked the point and started out after another in a very business-like way, but got cold and stopped about a foot from the last line. From then on we held the raging visitors and were able to add another win to our list. EAST Z7fsfXVES'l' 7 On November 22d the boys wound up the season in a blaze of glory by running affords, have decided to enter that field after leaving high school. VVe are printing touchdown. The boys made one of the biggest scores of the past ten years by adopt- ing the policy of keeping the ball. lf' your opponents don't get the ball, they can't score, and VVest certainly did not get the ball because our youngsters kicked just three times during the battle which consisted of a march up and down the field by the boys in red. livery man on the team played like a fiend incarnate and the result was the smoothest working machine seen in any of the high school games this year. ln 1921 a wet field helped us win, while the next year Dame Fortune took a hand, but after missing on one year, there were eleven reasons why the Maize and Blue went down, and every one of those reasons wore a red and black jersey. The game was a triumph for those who played their last games, and we shall never forget them for the work they did. Here are the boys who played their last game and just a little of' what they did: Captain Harry Lindbloomi Harry was on this day one of the greatest line plung- ers that ever wore the Scarlet and Black. His plunges would have made Five Yard lVlcCarthy turn green with envy. His returning of punts was all that could be asked for, he being a veritable eel in the open field. Lawrence Davis: After being injured in the first half, 'fllusu came back and, although suffering excruciating pain, played the game at left guard that won him all- state 1nention the year before, making himself a stone wall and spending a large part of his time behind the Yfaize and lllue line, throwing the ball carriers for losses. Chester lfrickson: Chee, turned VVest end runs in, dumped interference, boxed tackles, and in other ways raised Cain on his end of the line. George liourlandz George played the greatest game of his career, eclipsing even his stellar performances in the Sioux City and lfast Waterloo games. He ran A-l in- 45 2 A ' --' -' -- - Nr.- x Sig- 5 U ST, terference and tackled so hard that the ground was full of dents where he drove the yellow jerseyed players into the ground. Sherman Green: Shermy,' played an open center which was very much closed to our opponents. This animated sack of cement spent the entire afternoon with his arms wrapped lovingly around the legs of some West High back, and his passing of the ball was faultless. Ray Bolton: During the time Ray got in the game, he made everyone who saw him and those who played against him see the result of four years, hard and faithful training. Ray waited for this chance four years and finally got it. We never knew a fat man could be in so many places at once. Harold Carlson: Fat relieved Bus Davis at guard and, from his playing, everybody thought Bus was still there. Carlson did everything a guard is supposed to do and did it well. - Joe Story: Joe got in at Thompson's end awhile and was muchly there. These boys are not the only stars of the game, but they are the ones who will never again have a chance on an East High grid team. Well do we remember Hauge's Red Grange stunts around the end, Willis, faultless handling of the team and pig- skin, and-but what's the use? We could go on like this forever, but we won't, so here is the line-up for the game. Pick out your favorite in it and say anything about him We didnlt say.

Besides having the city football cham- pions, we have the smartest football team in the city. At least so say the scholastic records compiled for the purpose of finding which team in the city was best qualified for the P. G. Watters' Trophy offered during the last Week of the football season, to be awarded to the team having the best collective classroom record. Our boys, led by Captain Harry Lindbloom, who had the highest record of any football player and most other pupils, won the trophy in good shape, having seven boys who had grades of one in some study, and Handsome Harry, who had only four ones. Try and beat that, some of you who don't play football or any other game. We are the city football champions because North High, who shared the honor with us, was the victim of a very unfortunate and regrettable circumstance, and conse- quently had to forfeit all of her games, thus giving us a clear claim to the title and possession of the Conopus Club cup for one year. We feel very sorry for the hap- pening which cost North High the thing for which she had striven so hard, and which everybody knows beyond a doubt she deserved, but we think that any feelings of regret for her plight should be lost in the admiration of the splendid spirit and de- termination to do the right thing regardless of the consequences. 46 T2 3 . ig FOOTBALL PLAYERS HONORED On Wednesday, December 10th, our football players were awarded monograms in recognition of their season's work on the gridiron. Sixteen boys were honored by the school in appreciation of their hard and faithful grind. Previous to this, four of our boys had been honored by the sports writers of the city in the selection of all- star teams.

The games this year are to be played under the same system that proved so popular last year. There will be four teams graded A, B, C, and D, and each team will play only the teams in its class. This will provide for some exciting games, as all the teams will be evenly matched, and you know what happened last year. rm' 4-7 e X SENIOR CROSS-OXVORD PUZZLE This puzzle contains seniors, lirst names, last names, nicknames, or initials, inter- niingletl with a few other words derived from three different languages.

Soon those thoughts of their school, their alarm clock, and all, Fade away as the mind answers sleep's emphatic call.

The process of securing these tablets was a long and arduous one, requiring much tedious and painstaking work on the part of the committee in charge of Miss Gabriel. The idea of erecting a fitting memorial to the memory of our service men originated in the minds of the students who were in lfast High at the time of the war. As they graduated, they carried this idea into the Alumni Association with them and the afore- mentioned committee was selected. There was no student council to help them, and the money had to be taken from the miscellaneous fund of the school. So one morning during the war, when everyone was filled with the flame of patriotism, Miss Goodrell, then principal of the school, called the school together in the auditorium. Some speeches were given showing the students the purpose for which the money was needed, and asking their opinion. The school voted unanimously in favor of buying Liberty Bonds and using the money received from them when they fell due to form a nucleus for the tablet fund. Accordinglyythree hundred and hfty dollars worth of Liberty Bonds were purchased. This was the start of the fund, to which additions were made from time to Sl Q X Tb The committee at once began collecting the names of those whose names were to be inscribed upon the memorial. This was probably the hardest task of the committee. The Quill had a service list, and a card catalogue was kept in the ofiice. The list on the tablets is as nearly correct as human effort can make it, and much credit is due Miss Gabriel, chairman of the committee, and Miss Goodrell, president of the Alumni Asso- ciation, and Mrs. Wilbur Conkling who filled Miss Gabriells place during her absence, for their faithful work and the whole-hearted interest they -took in the success of the tablets. Theitablets were finished this fall, and November eleventh, at eight olclock in the evening, the unveiling and presentation ceremonies took place. Miss May Goodrell, president of the Alumni Association, had charge of the meet- ing. The report of the chairman of the memorial committee was called for, and given by Mrs. Wilbur Conkling. The treasurer, Clyde Frazier, then made a satisfactory re- port. Then Mr. Burton, our present principal, addressed the assemblage. He spoke on The Alumni-An Asset? Lafayette Young, Sr., followed Mr. Burton with a glowing tribute to Spanish-American War veterans. A group of patriotic songs of the Spanish-American War were sung by the crowd, led by Mr. Ed Lytton. Mr. Allan Peterson, a member of our faculty, paid tribute to the World War vet- erans in a Wonderful speech. The audience then joined in singing some songs which were popular at the time of the War. Mr. Clifford Bloom, an alumnus of East High, led the singing of these songs. The Americans Comef, a tribute in song to the Gold Star boys, was then given by Ed Lytton. Mr. Tyne Buck also sang. His selection was There ls No Deathf, by O'Hara. The dedication address was ably given by Mr. Eskil Carlson. Then an expectant hush fell upon the room as the tablets were unveiled by Peggy Bennett, Mary Garton, and Isabelle Conkling. The orchestra played our national anthem, at the conclusion of which American was sung by all. Taps was sounded as a last farewell to our heroic boys, and the meeting was over. Everyone is much pleased with the tablets which have now been mounted in the front vestibule. May they remain there forever in memory of the men who answered the call and gave their all, For the Sake of Humanity. There are many interesting events connected with some of the names on the tablets. The class of 1887 had four men who served in both the Spanish-American and the World Wars. These men are Ernest R. Bennett, Emory C. Worthington, R. Har- tung, and Frank Harris. Two girls of this class, Mrs. Nettie Gregg Eberle and Mrs. Lizzie Owen MacNulty, are mothers of Gold Star boys. We should also like to add that this class has never failed to be represented at a meeting of the Alumni Association since its graduation. General Read, class of 1877, is holding a very high position in the United States Army. He has been in the Philippines for some time, but sailed for San Francisco November 15th. - Everyone knows Carl Garver, who is serving his second term as mayor of Des Moines. But how many know that he is a graduate of East High? This tablet tells us that he graduated with the class of 1878 and served in the War of 1898. Ernest R. Bennett finished his high school work with the class of 1887 and is now treasurer of Polk County. We must not forget Mr. P. B. Sherriff. He took a great deal of interest in the tablets, although he is not an alumnus of East High. He used his influence to secure the tablets at cost price and made no profit on them himself. ln this way the final cost was greatly lessened. We all heartily thank Mr. Sherriff for his kindness to East High and the interest he has shown. time, because this amount was but a part of the final cost. ln this Way our money was helping Uncle Sam and us too. S2 5 EAST HIGH IN JOURNALISDI A few students who graduate from Fast High enter journalism every year. Most of these have been members of the Quill StaH', and, like the taste of journalism it affords have decided to enter that field after leaving high school. We are printing the names of some of these in the hope of interesting some of their friends. Dorothy jastrom, who was a popular postgraduate in 1922, is attending Des Moines University. She has been chosen president of the Scribblers, a newly formed jour- nalistic club at her school. We are wishing Dorothy every success and are sure the Scribblers will grow and prosper under her leadership. Margaret Gruener, former associate editor of The Quill in 1922-3, is also going to Des Moines University. She has won a position on the staff of the Highlander, the school's publication. Her work is chiefly reviewing modern books and authors. Margaret has also been chosen to fill the oilice of vice-president of the Scribblers, of which Dorothy Jastrom is president. A former editor of The Quill, Ralph Jester, is doing journalistic work as as- sistant editor of the Delphic, one of Drake University's papers, and is a member of the newly formed honorary journalistic fraternay, Sigma Delta Chi. ln addition to this, Ralph has been selected as a member of the Men's Glee Club, and has been elected treasurer of the senior class. lf he keeps the stride he has struck in his school life, we know he will make a mark for himself in this little old world. An East High graduate, Clair Yohe, has charge of the faculty and administration department of the Quax, the school magazine at Drake. Ruth Middaugh of East High and a graduate student at the University of Iowa recently had occasion to feel greatly honored when she received a note from james Branch Cabell, one of the foremost authors of the day, in which he thanked her for her understanding article, James Branch Cabell, Romancerj' which appeared in the last issue of the lowa Literary Magazine, the university publication. The note is as follows: Dumbarton Grange, Dumbarton, Virginia. My dear Miss Middaugh: You have my very best thanks for an article which, to my partial eye, appears extremely well done and in all ways delightful. l am, of course, the Worst possible judge of your dicta's veracity. But I am certain of my gratitude. Yours faithfully, James Branch Cabellf, The section of the Des Moines Daily Capital which is given to the schools of the city is eagerly read by students and teachers in all parts of the city. Very few people know that the editor of this most interesting column, Miss Prudence Nicholas, is a graduate of East High. We wish to compliment Miss Nicholas on her columns and we wish her many successes in the journalistic held.

Also there has appeared among our exchanges a paper published by the Kauai Union High School of Hawaii. The paper is called Ka Welo O Ka La, which means Out where the sun sets,'y and implies the idea that they are the farthest west of the possessions of the United States, that they are the farthest west of all the important islands of that possession, and that they are the farthest west of any four- year school on United States soil. The editor of the paper is japanese, literary edi- tor is Haole, one assistant editor, Haole-Hawaiian, and the other, Japanese. The business staff is composed of one Haole, one Japanese, and one Hawaiian. The four class reporters are Chinese, Portuguese, japanese, Haole. The coach of their foot- ball squad is H. Hill, a former student of -West Des Moines High School and we quote from him: I once lived in a city where there were three large rival high schools and three colleges. The city had the opportunity of seeing some real games and of seeing them played as they ought to be played, with the following results: first, the youngsters began to play football before they were out of rompersg second, that spirit of energy, coupled with good sportsmanship, thus learned, showed in the spirit of the city, one of progress and moral cleanliness. We have noted from the magazines l'ih Kah Namw published at Walla Walla, Washington, and the Student Crierl' from Fairbury, llinois, that they have received our magazine, The Quill. The following criticism was taken from f'The Voice of South Highl' of Youngston, Ohio: The senior pictures and the football picture were good. The cut of your school on the staff page was good.

A stranger coming in would have been scared to death and might have either grabbed a weapon to defend himself or taken to flight. The ruckus lasted throughout the afternoon and when the last of the peo- ple had left the room it was after four o'clock. Many a young brain had given way and snapped under the strain of those strenuous periods, and one teacher came out of the affair with snow white hair, she was the faculty adviser. The above description is not one of a mad house or a battle Iield, but merely a confused view of the Quill staff at Iiast High as the paper went to press on De- cember I9, to be in the hands of the students by January 20. 6 0 0 HORRORSI Beulah M. fscornfullyjl 'II canlt imagine anything more dreadful than a man without a country.

MOON LOVE The Moon crept up from the silv'ry sea, And rocked on the crest of the Waves. And the fishes who live 'neath the silv'ry foam Swam up from their silviry caves. The moon looked down from the silv'ry sky And smiled at the fish below. And the fish looked up at the silv'ry moon As it rocked there to and fro. A great black cloud came sailing by, To the silvyry moon it spoke. The moon looked down at the silv'ry fish, And fell in the sea-and broke. . M. L. M., '24 33 0 , Xl: il ' A .

They give the possessor grace, self-confidence, better business success, and many friends. Grace is acquired by removing awkwardness from speech and actions. Good manners will do this. They bring him self-confidence by making him feel at ease. Ease is obtained by the knowledge that he is doing the right thing. A person who knows he is right always feels surer of himself than one who is in doubt. Also, people will not be apt to put faith in one who has no faith in himself. This is where manners affect business. A person ill at ease is not able to use his mind to the best advantage. More- over, the average individual would far rather deal with a courteous business man than with one who seems to have no regard for the comfort of his customers. The society of the courteous is always more welcome than that ofthe rude. Therefore, the well- mannered never lack friends. Nothing shows up the character better than conduct. lt is an index to your heart and mind. What you feel and think you will unconsciously do. Kindness prompts good manners. If you have a dislike for someone, it is with the greatest difficulty that you hide your feelings from him. Likewise, if you have a kindly feeling toward others, it cannot help but reflect itself in your actions. For this reason be careful of your conduct. By good manners we do not mean the use of the correct spoont at dinner or the proper method of introduction. These are etiquetteg merely forms of polite society which may be changed tomorrow. A person with no social training will have good manners if he has the right regard for others. If you are known to be a member of some oranization, that organization is, to some extent, judged by you as an example. It is your duty to uphold the reputation of the group. On the other hand there is such a thing as affected manners. One immediately sees that these are not sincere and consequently does not care for the society of one who has them. Do not show off your manners. Affection and ostentation are not assets. To have good manners, is simply good common sense, use your common sense. YOUR TASK This world was here before you came, ,Twill be here when you're gone, The years you spend on this old earth Are not so very long. Ruth Rothfus. Now here,s the point I wish to make By starting out like this, Youdre in this world to do some good, So don't just go amiss. Have as your aim to help your friends, And then you'll help us too, For he who helps his fellow-man- His enemies are few. And when y0u've signed life's payroll check, Review the things you've done, Then if the work has upward been Life's worth-while task is won. But here's the rub, and please beware, That when you have grown old 5 And evil tales are being said, That none of you are told. Craig McKee. 36 .-t...

The lessons have a fainter glow. I see them daily weaker grow, Oh, laziness brought my grades so low. Those books, a shining store, By me were seldom used before, Now never used, are mine no more. For though they gladly would fulfill The same kind ofiice for me still, Uselessness decrees not they will. Their indistinct expressions seem Like glimmering visions in a dream, They charmed me not, whate'er the theme. But ahl By constant heed I know How oft the dumbness that I show Transforms my smiles to looks of woe. And should my future lot be cast With much the same chance as the past, I'll study true till the very last.

No doubt he has to labor consistently for what he gets, but did you ever stop to think of that poor old bird who gets so tired he has to stand on one leg? 3 no, my friends, I believe the stork is the hardest working bird. In the United States there are more than three hundred thousand birthdays every dayg this means that Johnny Stork, during the last generation, has carried over ten thousand of us foolish mortals every day from the Golden Gates to the Terra Firma. It is quite interesting to take a little time somewhere and think Whether or not February 12 was declared a holiday for you and Abeg or whether you discovered the World on the same date friend Chris', discovered this old land of ours. We have Seniors who were so unlucky as to have their birthdays on the same day that school begang we have others who will be exactly one year older on their Class Day, June 103 but let all the Seniors bow their heads in thanks and reverence to whoso- ever is responsible for the fact that none of those who forsake our halls this June were born on fatal February 29. However, here are some of the dates on which a few of the worldys greatest personagcs were born. January - 3: Marcus Tullius Cicero-Rose Quinn. January 22: Francis Bacon-Helen Venn.

Thus are the birthdays of famous people scattered through the year ONCE UPON A TIME Once upon a time, a long, long time ago there came through the gates of a large castle a great horde of hungry and ignorant folk. They were small in stature and young in age, and they were afraid. They all had been compelled by a ruling of their land to go to this castle to study. They were not taught to be fine knights and ladies as you would suppose, but were given tasks in very commonplace subjects, such as English, ancient history, civics, Latin, algebra, and many other useless things. Even though they were given useless tasks they worked hard for the esteem of their teachers so that they might be given more useful tasks. They were laughed at, and called Freshmen by all the older people who worked in the castle, and so were very much discouraged. Many pranks were played on them and they were too often the object of the mirth of everyone else. After a long year had gone by they were advanced into a more influential position, Where pranks were not played on them so often and Where they could turn and laugh at those coming in to take their places. At this time they were called Sophomores. Another long year passed and they were known as Juniors. Now they were in a fine position. They were envied by all the lower classmen and looked on with a certain amount of regard by those older. They had grown to love the castle very much by this time and were just waiting for another year to come when they could look down on everyone else in the court, except, of course, the king and his advisers. At the end of this year they were certainly highly elated! They were Seniors! They were in sight of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! In just a short time they would be let out of the castle to go out in the world to battle with other people for the top rung of the ladder of success. Yet what had come over them? Their love for the old castle and all its tradi- tions had grown so that they didn't want to leave. As they looked back over their stay in the castle they thought of the many times they had come to class with no lessons, how they had bluffed and made excuses in order that they might just get by. Oh! if they could only start all over again and do as they saw they should have donel Now it was too late. Their stay was ending and they were to leave this wonderful castle to go gto new fields. Some were going out into the world to fight for fair ladies. Others were to be merchants, sending ships to many strange ports. Others were going to foreign castles to study and thereby increase the size of their heads, for it was said that the larger the head the easier it would be to gain headway. As they passed out they all said to those remaining, Yea, verily we say unto thee, abhor failures, and do not bluff, for that is the sure path to destruction? Nelson Brodrick. 41 2 11, X ' Q STOP!

SENIOR SCENARIO I was blowing bubbles the other day, When they came into a sunny ray, l saw the things I'll tell you here, Though they'll not be true for many a year Ernest Porter, the track team ace, Had just beaten Nurmi in a race. Lillian Bradley stood on a stage, A star in New York, and all the rage. Virgil Blackburn was behind a plow. Wilbur Pricer was settling a row. Dorothy Burrows was writing a book, Vera McCoy was Somebody's cook. Craig McKee was a World golf champ. Rita Novinger was a movie vamp. Minnie Wilson was a suHragette, And Prospero Tamasi a real poet. Grace Ferris was an opera star, A radio king was Harold Tarr. Sara Thomas was still in debate, Fay McMillan was a preacher great. Edith Soppeland was an authoress of renown Elmer Rhone was mayor of the town, Louise Berner was a gym teacher, Warren Fisher was another preacher. Willard Mabee was an actor line. Marjorie Williams run a bus line. Juliette Redfern played at the dime store. Dean Lightfoot was minister to Singapore. Many other queer things l could tell, But I do not think it would be Well, For some would surely burst their heads, While others would lie in river beds. AN OLD VVOMAN REMEMBERS SPRING They say that spring has come. l remember When it was spring. The birds sang, and the brook Twinkled as it ran by the low bank. I remember how the daffodil in the yard Opened its bright eye to greet The earliest robin. l remember how the grass was green, Like a carpet for dainty fairy feet, The sky was as blue as any blue bell ln the awakening wood. They say that spring has come, But I can only remember. 43 L.M L S 'z flfmflfffl ffl 'IIE Ill IIIYUIWQI Ulu' ful: IDII fifJIOIfIl4Il10f1I1flfffflfl Iflffllffl1lI.'fOQ1 .llf 'FCI''flIIOIr'nfl,ll7ffllIlllfl'0fQn'I 7 ' ' ' A 1 3 3 5 5 5 Q , f W Q 5 '.

Q ,U ....,..,,.. .Nm . wh., 'U' t--sq - 'iam' l K There is the old story of the sculptor who stood watching some workmen bring a huge block of marble into his studio. Nearby was a small boy, gazing intently. Finally the lad ventured to comment, l don't see much in it now, but I suppose you can make something out of it. But the artist replied, No, l donlt expect to make something out of it. l expect tt, find something in it. l thought of Fast High. What can we get from our school before we see some- thing in it? Hidden within our schoolroom activities are possibilities of deepest won- der. Within our very selves there is a wealth of hidden beauty. The sculptorls first work was not that statue that emerged from the block of mar- ble. The masterpiece was the culmination of hours of toil, hope, and prayer, only after the long years of labor came the vision that inspired the hearts of all who looked upon it. Years and years ago the people on the streets of London saw a swearing tinker and turned away in disdain. But a greater Sculptor chiseled off the hard surface and brought forth john Bunyan, the ideal of dreamers, the inspiration of all who love hne literature. And then to my mind comes the thought of another, a man at whose feet the high and the lowly, the rich and the poor, have knelt in reverence. Abe Lincoln was so homely that the street children made fun of him. But beneath that unprepossessing exterior there lay a soul that has proved itself strong enough to rest forever before the eyes of the American people as an ideal of true manhood. For the service of humanity East High is today carving the first strokes on some of the masterpieces of the coming generations. It is up to us to guide, not retard, the chisel of our sculptor. ja ' 'Bal ildvlt iii! WORK AND VVORKERS Everything accomplished in this world of ours has been achieved by the unceasing efforts of some individual or individuals. These persons easily fall into three classes, those who really work, those who think they work, and spend all their time trying to make others think they do, and those who make no pretense of working and are proud of their idleness. When a person is heard commenting on his activities, abilities, or achievements he may be set down as belonging to the second group, and the world will know that it has not progressed any because he has lived. The third group usually comes from the extreme ends of the social scale-the idle rich and the shiftless poor. They live and die, leaving no token of their existence, but merely a feeling of relief that the strain on the public purse has been lessened. But to the first group we owe everything we have that is worth having. They may be distinguished by their quiet unobtrusiveness and businesslike air. They do not boast of their work because they don't need tog it is of such a standard that the other fellow is always ready to sing its praises. They are never too busy to take on some extra job, and when this extra bit is finished it is well done. They are the ones who really enjoy life, and they do not have extreme views on any subject. Assuming that these people comprise one-third of all the people, might not the world have advanced to three times its present status if everyone had followed their example? 47 2 , JUST FOLKS An old man from Arkansas, who physically was quite rugged, having been hardened by much hard work and all kinds of weather, once became rather philosophical. As he sat on a stump in front of his cabin and whittled, he looked up at my father and drawled, Don't you know human nature is perty much alike, only a little more so? How true these words are, yet how loath we are to accept them at their face value. For instance, we as students, notice the peculiarities and short-comings of others and are quick to criticize. Sometimes we laugh at other peoples' actions, if not, we generally smile to ourselves. Did you ever notice any one being flawless, perfect? The answer is no. The reason for the answer is the old manls statement that Human nature's pretty much alike, only a little more sof' So when We want to laugh at other people and criticize them we should look at them, then look into a mirror and remember-the old man's words. STICK-TO-IT-IVENESS A teacher of mine often said that if a person had a well developed bump of stick- to-it-iveness, he held a strong card in the game of Success. If a man is promoted again and again, many of those who witness his rise in the world, shrug their shoul- ders and say, 'fOh, well, he always did have all the luck! To them that sums up the whole affair. But why did he get ahead in life? This man had the ability to act, and he acted. He had that quality of constant endeavor, of trying again, which enabled him to push onward to success. It is a waste of time to sit around hoping a good luck fairy will favor you wtih some of her four-leaf clovers or horse-shoes. lt requires continued hammering, not just one pound, to mould metal, so does it re- quire constant work to bring success. Opportunity does not, with one grand swoop of her mighty wings, lift you upward to your goal, you must climb every rung of the ladder yourself, and stick to it until you reach the top. Remember the postage stamp: The postal clerk gives it a lick And stamps it on with a blow, The work of that stamp is simply to stick And it goes where it started to go. TRAINING FOR LIFE There,,' said the coach, is a striking example of the wonders training can do for one man, and the ravages lack of training can perform on anotherf' This observation was made at the close of the mile run which decided the state championship in that event. The winner had surprised even himself by coming out those thirty yards ahead of what all the athletic directors in the state had a few weeks ago hailed as the fastest man this side of the Mississippi. However, the fact remained that a hitherto unknown athlete had won. The reason for his winning was soon circulated among the spectators of the race. The winner had obeyed each of the rules set down for a track man, the loser had not. Does this observation not offer a suggestion to the graduate at this time? Will it not give the graduate rather a worth-while hint in regard to the way his future will turn out? The question to be considered is, how has the graduate spent his four years of high school training? Did he obey all the rules of the game or did he choose the course of talking his way through school? The result of each course will be identical with the corresponding one of the track men. 4-8 Q A , Y:- ON MANNERS AND CONDUCT Using the words of Emerson as a slogan, Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesyf' a Manners and Conduct Committee has come into existence in Fast High. The purpose of this body is to improve the general conduct of the students. If anyone doubts the need of such a committee, let him watch the manners of those about him. He may hear one student making loud remarks, another will be dash- ing wildly through the corridor, or allowing a door to fly back in the face of someone behind him. Such actions are bad habits, easily formed through thoughtlessness. After all, courtesy is not a thing of fashion, but its practice springs from an unseliish con- sideration of others. An outsiderls opinion of an institution is formed by the actions of those of its habitues with whom he comes in contact. Thus the conduct of a thoughtless person may endanger a schoolls reputation, likewise, the manners of a quiet, polite individual may give an impression of refinement and culture. That ill-mannered people exist in Fast High today, is due to carelessness on the part of all others actively connected with the school. The Manners and Conduct Com- mittee is trying to remedy this deplorable state of affairs, but they cannot do it alone. Will you, in loyalty to East High, help? HE CAN WHO THINKS HE CAN-GRADUATE One of the seven wonders of the world' to the fourth or fifth grade pupil is a high school senior. This isnlt because of any particular virtue of the senior, but simply because he is a senior and soon to graduate from the schooling that is com- pulsory. Very probably the student in the grades has serious doubts about ever getting far enough to graduate from high school. The whole thing in going through high school in a creditable manner is believing you can, and then not cheating yourself by lack of application and study. The entire viewpoint of a person changes as he passes through high school. When he is a fresh- man he looks upon the teacher as a fearsome master, when a sophomore he begins to realize that perhaps the teacher does know what's best, when a junior he feels that the teacher is not so great as he had thought, and when a senior he at times actually feels himself on a level with the teacher. The school football team is composed of eleven boys who individually think they can hold down a position on the team, and collectively think they can beat any other team. In no other way is it possible to win in football, likewise, it takes a student who think: he can to graduate. I B Xi 49 J A-W-k X f f T: 7 X' f X sy N 1 If sf., Lit vary rf 5 O fl N F- 1'7lM!

YOU SPEND YOUR VACATION? Now that the rare month of June is here, it is time to think of the coming vaca- tion, which, it is to be hoped, will be enjoyed by all of Fast High's students and ln friends. Those who have an opportunity to leave Des Moines for a time will be doubly fortunate for they will enjoy not only a change of scene, but also the pleasure of returning home, after an absence, with new things to tell and think of. Whether one goes to the mountains or to the sea, to the great city or to the country, he will surely find himself the better for it. Some may go east, and it is to them that this article may be of particular interest. Two years ago l spent a month there, visiting New York and Boston for several days. There l learned that sight-seeing should be an unhurried affair, to be taken in small doses, if it is not to become tiresome. From Chicago, which is itself a wonderful city, we traveled by the Michigan Central to New York. This road is that branch of the New York Central which runs nearly half of its way through Canada, entering this country again at Niagara Falls. Our train reached the Falls early in the morning, and stopped there long enough to afford an excellent though somewhat distant view of the mighty cataract. l suppose it would have seemed even more tremendous if We had been so near as to receive the full volume of its terrihc sound. The monotony of the journey to New York City was greatly relieved by the fact that the tracks lie near the Hudson, which is indeed a most beautiful river. Near New York its banks become the Palisades, steep cliffs of soft colors, most pleasing to the eye. lt was not until dinner time, l am sure, that we left the Grand Central Terminal in search of a hotel. lt was much later than that before we were settled at the Bres- lin, an unpretentious but very comfortable hostelry. lts food was good and its beds were soft and these accommodations were all we asked. Nlanhattan lsland, which holds the business section of the city is narrow, and very, very long, so that it takes time to get anywhere. The big, double-decked busses are 51 Q fe a splendid means of transportation, but I didn't care for the street cars since the only aisle they had was a step running the whole length of the car. However, one must ride unless he has an abundance of time and endurance. We boarded one of these conveyances, and reached Battery Park, at the extreme end of the city. from here we could see the famous statue on Bedloe's Island, but the choppy water discouraged closer viewing. In this same park is the Aquarium, which with the Bronx, was to me a suiiicient reason for going east. Of course, those who prefer their colors somewhere else than in gorgeously marked fish, might not be interested in this remarkable collec- tion of aquatic creatures. We once entered the towering Woolworth Building in a vain search for a ten-cent store and contemplated going up, but decided against it, in view of the fact that what ascends must descend, and a drop of fifty-some stories in a swift elevator was not to our liking. Sunday afternoon we spent at the Bronx Zoological Gardens, where I should have liked to spend a week, for two hours of walking did not give us a chance to see all the inhabitants of this great zoo. I will say, however, that this time was more than enough for those who were with me. On Monday we left New York by boat for Fall River, and went from there to Chatham, a little resort on the elbow of Cape Cod. Here we came as close to million- aires as I ever shall, I fear, the two-storied cottage on the other side of the fence was tenanted by Coningsby Dawson, author, whose Rolls-Royce town-car frequently swept past us. He rented this cottage from the Chatham Bars Inn fthe natives said Chatham Bahsj for a sum probably considerable. One of these mansions, that owned by Joseph Lincoln, was rented for 52,500 a month. We spent an uneventful month in Chatham and departed on July 30 for Boston, via Plymouth. We stayed one night and part of a morning in Plymouth. The hotel was built in 1734, as was proved by the sagging floors, so steep that one nearly slid down them. This venerable inn looked out upon the Rock, which had been returned to its original place. Plymouth is a remarkable little town, for 'everywhere we found spots of historical interest, so close together that no weary walking was required to find them. Unfortunately, one does not find his way about in Boston with the ease he does at Plymouth. Boston would have proved the undoing of Theseus if he had attempted unassisted to locate a Nlinotaur hidden in its center. If it were not for its subway system, Boston would have given little pleasure to me. By the aid of its underground railway we managed to reach many places of interest including King's Chapel, Old South Church, Harvard University, and the towns of Lexington and Concord. Never- theless, we had too little time to enjoy these places properly, for we were anxious to return home. It was with no little pleasure that I saw Boston recede into the back- ground. Truly, john Howard Payne was right. BEGGING ALMS FROM LIFE I hope that I can always see My duties-just as they should be. I ask, that I may always say The words which brighten every day. I hope that I may always feel The beauty of bird and wind and tree. Though skies are dark, and sad my way, May God within my heart still stay. Rosabelle Houston, '26, S2 A Sis WHA'1' HAPPENED? Fin! Prize Story Now l'm all done with everyone of my lessons except English, and that's to read 'The Fall of the House of Usherl' Edward slammed his books upon the table. Well, my word! ejaculated his sister. And you left that until night to read? About the time everybodyls in bed except you, you'll be sorry you didn't read it during the day. Itls a horrid old thingf' Shucks! Think I care about that? You will care when you have to stay up alone and read that old ghost story. You'll be just as scared as I was when I read it. Mark my word! Hoi Think l'm scared? You must think l'm a coward, answered Edward, with an air of pride and scorn and apparent indifference. Edward was a year and a half younger than his sister Dot. He was sixteen years old, and a junior in high school, his sister, a senior. He, as many other boys, was wont to brag of his lack of cowardice. His uncle had died just two weeks before and, having been a great pal of Edwardls, his death had quite an effect upon the boy. lt was nine o'clock and he had read the first two pages. Silence existed in the room, except for the scratching of Dot's pen. Dot had yawned several times, when at ten o'clock she closed her book and said, Pm going to bed. How're you coming along? Do you like itii' Naw, there's nothing exciting or ghosty about it as you said, he answered in a hurt tone. Well, l hope you'll enjoy yourself, and with that she was off. Edward was left alone. 'Thoughts of his deceased uncle came to him but imme- diately he rid himself of them and read on. His curiosity was aroused by what his sister had said. The night was cold and Windy, with snow flying at intervals. It was dark in and out of the house, with the exception of the room-Edward occupied. From the big grandfather's clock in the hall came a loud tick-tock, tick-tock, Edward was annoyed exceedingly by its loudness, and for some reason he wished it would stop. When it pealed forth eleven in low, full, solemn tones, he shuddered. He had always liked to hear the clock strike but somehow, tonight it did not seem like the old clock. But he read on. ' Cars were passing at the rate of only three or four to the hour, for Edward's folks lived in the suburbs of the city. That seemed like an unusually small number com- paredpwith the number that passed on other nights. What was the matter with every- thing. He was nearly at the end of the story, and was reading about the grinding and scratching of the big iron door of the vault, when suddenly he heard for imaginedj a sort of grinding as if some one were cleaning his shoes on the side-walk. His heart beat wildly. His mind moved slowly in fact, he was so astounded that hc just sat and listened. Edward was not a coward. Oh, no! He just felt a little queer. Why, that was nothing. He would just read on and finish, and with that thought in mind, he laughed at himself. But, again it came. This time a heavy foot step upon the wooden steps. He turned white as snow. Edward was actually frightened. He couldn't have spoken a word if he had had to. Another heavy, low step and still another! The thing advanced slowly but surely. Oh, what could he do? He stirred not an inch, because he couldn't. He sat next to the window, but didn't look out. He stared into space. A fourth step upon the porchl Louder, louder! He would have shrieked but for the thought of his sister, being able to say, I told you sof, Anyhow, it was probably nothing, he told him- 53 , 5 LW, x -,nm - ' , self and attempted to read again. But it was there again. Oh, the agonyl Why couldnlt it hurry? He was as limp as a dishrag. Where had his strength gone? As the step advanced, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind that if it knocked he would find what it wanted. It was surely at the door by nowl But it slowly ad- vanced and then-Oh, if the fear that had possessed him would only leave-came a knock. His fear grew, but he jumped up. He wanted to run out of the room, any- where, just to get away, but he dared not. He suddenly thought of his uncle. Could it be-P No, he told himself, it wasnlt. Again that knock. It seemed tremendously loud, but really wasn't. He shuddered. He started toward the door, stopped once, and then walked rapidly. At the door he hesitated, then with new vigor he jerked open the doorl The wind blew and the snow fell fast. It was-Ohl Alice Rothfus, '26. THE VVOMAN VVHO LOCKED HER HEART VVITH AN IRON KEY Seaond Prize Story There was a little child once, a happy, care-free child with a joyous singing in her heart and on her lips. The years flew by on golden feet, until the little Girl locked childhood in the chamber of yesterday and gave her hand to Life. And Life gasped when he saw this vision of wondrous beauty that the four winds of heaven, the silent stars, and all of Naturels forces had created for him. w Life took the Girl's eager hand and gave it to a Lad, whose eyes were full of dreams, and whose hands were like those of a poet or a builder of beautiful things- long, slim, strong hands. And the Lad looked at the Girl and loved her-as he would have loved a rare Hower or a graceful tree or a thing of exquisite beauty. But the love the Girl gave to the Boy burned as the flame of a holy star-strong and steadfast and unfaltering. The Lad took the treasure that Life had gixen him, and built for her a house by the sea-a little house of love and new hope and sweet faith and singing sea voices. And soon the sea sang a cradle song, for a new life came to the little home. But the little onels frail, sweet smile summoned the Angel of Death, and the woman and her man buried their child by the sea. And the Man put his strong arms about his wife and tried to mend her torn heart with words of comfort and faith4but she would not be comforted, and wept and wept. As time passed she ceased to weep and went about again dusting and cleaning and cooking in the little cottage. Her lips never sang now, and her eyes were cold and hard, and without dreams. She learned to say sharp things to the Man, who, after all, was only a boy--a dreamy boy who loved beautyl And as the days passed, he heard the call of the world-and answered. The Woman did not notice for many days that her man was gone, when she did realize that she was alone, her heart bled again with grief and longing. At last the longing for him became so intense that she could bear the awful silence and the mock- ing Waves no longer-and she Went out into the world in search of him. After many days she found the body of the man she loved-but not the soull She found that he was a thing of common thoughts-a worshipper of gleaming coins and evil pleasures. And blinded by the hate that rose up in her soul, she lost all reason and struck cruel blows on the weak human-as a creature of the wilds, blinded by rage--strikes and killsl Then she fled back to the little cottage, and with a fiendish laugh, locked her heart with an iron key, and built a high impenetrable wall of hate and bitterness about herself. As the years passed many people tried to pierce the wall, and were scowled and cursed upon in return. S4- ? But a day came when the Woman was conscious of a queer feeling about her being, and when the first sweet scents of Spring crept in at her open door, she knew that her earthly pilgrimage was nearing an end. She found great peace, when she mused that she would soon be a thing of insensibility-capable no longer of feeling love and hate and misery. Yet she was strangely afraid, too. She kept asking herself, 'fSup- posing death isn,t the end, after all? And as her sight became less clear, and her breath grew sharp and painful, the words kept racing through her brain-like little impish devils. And in one wild moment, she tried to break down the awful wall that surrounded her life-but it seemed only to mock and hoot at her, and the key held fast. Fxhausted, she collapsed on her bed-and when a fisherman ventured over her doorstep, he found a huddled, withered old creature, with a strange, calm smile on her lips. Was Death the end of all things for the Woman who had locked her heart with an iron key? Pk if PF Y And out in the dusk, Life laughed-long and mockingly-as he gave a girlls eager hand to a lad, whose eyes were full of dreams, and whose hands were strong and slim, like those of a poet, or of a builder of beautiful things.

'fOh, mama, let me keep himl Let me keep himlv shouted Jimmy Miller when he saw the little tramp. Yes, mama, please say yes,,' pleaded four-year-old Jean. Oh dear, children, youlll have to wait until daddy comes home and see what he says,,' the distracted mother said. Mr. Miller, who was away on business, was due in a couple of days. Most of the family troubles were decided by him. Oh no. Papa may not let us keep him, do you think he will, mama? questioned Jean. Don,t pout, -lean. We will get to keep him two days at least, said jimmy. During this conversation, the little dog had been sitting with his ears cocked, looking first at Mrs. Miller, then at Jimmy. He was about a foot and a half high. He had brown eyes and a laughing mouth, from which a red ribbon of a tongue lolled. He was al'l black except for one patch of white about two inches square on his back. The two children ran down to the lawn, but the little fellow sitting so soberly on the step remained where he was. Come on-a-er-Patchl That's his name, 'cause he's got that white patch. Come on Patchief' called jimmy. Down the steps raced little Patch. Together the three ran to the corner, which was the meeting place for the neighborhood children. The two days passed quickly, and in due time Mr. Miller returned. Oh, daddy, please let us keep him, begged Jimmy. 'cCome here, little doggief' called Mr. Miller. Patch trotted to Mr. Miller and jumped up into his lap as was his custom with the children. Mr. Miller laughed as he pulled Patch's ears. 'fWe will give Patch a trial for a week. If he proves to be a good doggie, he can stay. If not, he'll go to the dog-pound. Goodyl Gooclyll' shouted the children, conhdent of Patch's good behavior. SS Q X glee The week was drawing to a close and Patch had not been a good dog. In fact he had done everything from jumping upon the table three times and getting the meat, and tearing jearfs best rag doll to pieces, to scratching up Mr. Miller's newly planted garden. Thank goodness, this Week's about overf' exclaimed Mrs. Miller, this is Friday, just one more day of Patch. lt grieved the children terribly to part with Patch, but they knew he had proved his own undoing. Saturday dawned a bright, beautiful day, but a sad one, for Patch was going to have to leave. That afternoon, jean took her skipping rope and Went out to the road to jump. Mrs. Miller with Patch, was sitting on the porch so she could watch Jean. All went well until a big racer was seen coming down the road at a terrihc speed, and -Ieanls back was turned. Ujeanl jeanlv screamed the frantic mother, come quickly jean turned and saw the big car come tearing along. She started for the house, but she caught herself in her skipping rope and fell, too frightened to move. Her mother rushed down the steps, but she feared she would be too late. However, in front of her tore a little black streak, Patch. He reached jean, caught her dress at the neck, and dragged her from the road just as the auto passed. That night after lVIrs. Miller had told her husband, who was sitting with Patch in his arms, of Patch's heroic deed, all he said was, I guess Patchie qualiiiesf' Ezma Peterman, '27. SKETCHES Like some broad Midas-brush The moonlight gleams across the lake. Little wavelets rise and fall again Within its path. Upon the bank the trees rock softly To the last notes of some bird's song. Yesterday the trees Stretched bare black arms Defiantly skyward. This morning they bow humbly In their white robes. Yesterday they were Proud aristocrats in black, This morning they are Little white nuns rejoicing Humbly in their beauty. The day has gone home to the sky. She left little memories in the west. Tiny streaks of gold and pink Chase each other across the tree tops. Soon the night will come, She will wear soft comforting gray. But I like the day best, She is so exciting. M. L. M., '24, S6 n'Yf'rv BCQJK POPULAR FICTION Present day fiction is rather dirhcult to review, and about as diflicult to read, but in the City Library are some quite interesting books which may have escaped your eyes. l've always liked Zane Grey. Perhaps the name has something to do with it- Zane sounds so like wonderfully high mountains, their steep sides dyed in myriads of colors, great stretches of yellowed sand, and gay Spanish fiestas. The Light of the Western Stars 1 read and enjoyed very much. For the benent of those who enjoy seeing the picturization of their favorite books, 1,11 say that the play is now under pro- duction, and will doubtless prove as interesting as the last of Mr. Greyls stories which was hlmed, '1Code of the West. Betty Zane is the story of the authorls great grandmotherls thrilling life in the days when America was young, and Indians lurked behind every bush and bend. 1 have read it many times, and yet 1 lind something new in it each time. The King Who VVent on a Strike, by Pearson Choate, is a quite new and very amusing book. It concerns a king who grew tired of his life made up of quarreling with uncompromising subjects and went on a strike during an insurrection. The end- ing is different, and 1 think you will like the entire book. Jeffery Farnol is a writer who has always interested me greatly. He writes mostly of common folks, people whom one would meet fthat is if one is in the habit of hob- nobbing with tinkers and gypsies, and English lords.l Mr. Farnol has that art of describing things so that one can almost believe that he is in the midst of them. The Open Road' and Hlgerrigrinl' 1 liked the best. There is a very new book just out, which is really more than up to the standard. Stupid people always exact pity from me. It may be because 1 make so many blunders myself that 1 know how they must feel. Harry Leon Wilson delights in writing about the queerest people. Professor, How Could You? is one of his books which kept me laughing for a week fl read it during vacationj and is mostly about the adventures of a perfectly proper professor who found suddenly that he needed to be cut loose from his too perfectly proper life and so he proceeds to do so with alarm- ing results. 1 also read, K'Oh, Doctor! and then my favorite star, Reginald Denny, played in the Elm version of the book, and 1 laughed all the more. 1 think it helps onels imagination to see the picture versions of the best books. Hugh Walpole has written two books about a small boy, jeremy Cole, the son of a Polchester curate. The Erst book, jere1ny, is mostly concerned with jeremy's home life, the second, jeremy and Hamlet, describe? his school life. 1 liked them both, they are human books, and seem to be about real people instead of just characters. O'l3rienls edition of the best short stories of 1924 is a convenient book to have, because the stories are not too long, and they are all good. For those who enjoy plenty of real thrills along with their laughs 1 can recom- mend Don Marquis' 'lSonnets to a Red Haired Lady fby a gentleman with a blue beardjn.

M., 124. 57 PLAY-READING Novels are interesting as well as short stories, but plays are classed as being dull and stupid reading. Perhaps one's tirst play may seem difficult, but the next one is more easy to understand. One does not have to read Shakespeare. There are many plays being written which are available at any library. The authors have not been proclaimed yet as famous, but do not overlook them because of that. Among the worth while present-day writers is john Galsworthy, an English play- wright whose works have only recently been noticed. During the early part of his career his stories and novels touched upon the purely conventional. Later plays and novels departed from the conventional and became individual, serious, and alive. He writes of life in terms of loyalty, strife, joy, justice, and love. There is a bit of humanness in each play that tends to make the characters live in the hearerls or reader's mind. He also deals with acute social problems of the twentieth century. He has the rare quality of seeing both sides of a question, a thing which is reflected in his char- acters. In 1914 Mr. Galsworthy wrote the play The Mob. An ideal which was true and sincere led a young man to take a stand that was opposed by his country. The reader cannot help but wonder if he himself does not sometimes mistake the primitive mob spirit' in him for patriotism, a word that covers this feeling in all its cruelty. The Fugitivev is another example of the author's ability to create a person with an unswerving determination. In this play a person passes on at last, disbelieved, mis- understood, and criticised. Joy, Strife, and Uulusticen deal with life in the same broad way. I suppose John Galsworthy is one who remembers that human nature is the constant. A play written about the seventeenth century would probably contain the same morals. He brings out the idea, however, that every phase of life which has a problem, may have it solved in two ways. One hurts, the other heals. Play-reading is a different and delightful pastime. There is a large scope for im- agination. The somewhat boring descriptions are left out to be supplied by the reader. I have in mind a young lady who could not get head or tail to the play which she was reading. To remedy this she set a miniature stage on the library table, and, with spools for characters, she was able to follow the trend of the story clearly. In conclusion: Plays are merely stories in a condensed form. They are to be read and understood, not set away on a shelf. Try to understand them, when once you do, much pleasure will be yours. Iola Smith, 'Z5. THE SCARECROVV Percy MacKaye Have you read Hawthorne's fantastical story, Feathertop? If you have, you may be sure that you would enjoy The Scarecrow, which is a play based upon the same plot and using the same characters. The hero, quite the reverse from the usual, does not marry the heroine. Why? Read the play to find out! RIDERS TO rI'HE SEA J. W. Synge Riders to the Sea is an Irish play, presenting the opposite side of the life of the Irish fisherman from which is usually pictured. The main character is an Irish mother, who has lost five of her sons and her husband in storms at sea. Her sixth son also drowns and his body is brought home by his friends. The play is written in the Irish dialect of course, and for that reason, if for none other, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Dorothy Burrows, ,2S. 58 JUNIOR JOURNAL NOTES APR11. 6, 1925- Some day, when my ship comes in, as I have so often heard people say, Ilm going to have a large library like those you read of in books, lined With shelves and shelves of books, because I can think of few things quite as annoying as being unable to find a book that I have set my head on reading. Yesterday when I finished reading Illargaret Ogilzfy, I decided to read either Little Minister or Treasure Irland. I wanted to see if I could detect the superiority of Stevensonls writing or if I found either of them interesting at all. To my disgust when I tried to get them today, neither was in. Since I had made up my mind I wanted nothing else, I returned with only a book for my sister. Perhaps if I had only to rise from a big easy chair, stroll over a luxuriously carpeted floor, and without any trouble select Treasure lrland from among the hundreds of books there, I probably wouldn't want it, because, as I heard a lady say in a recitation the other day, Folks is always wantin' what is not-Now ain't that so?,' Lila Larson, ,26. APRIL S, I92S- Once more the peace of our happy home is disrupted! Mr. Payne must have ex- perienced one of those delightful periods of house cleaning when he wrote: There's No Place Like Horne. I hope not. This evening I returned to my erstwhile restful domain, stepped over a roll of rugs and a charm from the skies seemed to hallow, perhaps I had better say halo-me there. The paper hanger had merely dropped a strip of ceiling paper around my head. I exiled myself to the rooms already hung, but, alas, the splendor dazzled me in vain, for the curtains were gone, every picture and bit of ornament had disappeared and the most prominent feature of the room was half an inch of dust covering every- thing. This dust, I learned, was simply the natural thing in housecleaning. I thought of what my home once was and I reeled backward in an ecstasy of fond memory-and stepped into a pail of soapy water. The grocer boy came, and I had visions of something delightful for the evening meal. I opened a package. Cleaning powder. Not dismayed I tore the wrappings from another. Soap. Then at last I espied a long slim bundle resembling a loaf of sweet bread. I unwrapped it tenderly-and found a large scrub brush. The only edible matter was a dime's worth of prunes, which for some reason or other did not appeal to me. I sighed and went to my room. A red flannel polishing cloth was draped artistically over my rose reading lamp. A bar of Bon Ami peeped cunningly around the cerise glazed bowl I had spent so many hours arranging into an exquisite still life. The paper hangerls assistant was perched on a ladder reading that holiest of holies, my diary. I wished fervently that I had not been quite so exact about the recording of incidents. I went to the open Window. Across the street our local prima donna song: But, Give, Oh Give Me, the Pleasures of Home! Amen, said I. Lois Louise Thornburg, '26, APRIL 10, 1925- I accomplished a wonderful job today and one that may be accomplished only when there is a great deal of spare time. What did I do? Well, I taught my dog how to shake hands. This job was very hard because somehow the dog and I did not seem to understand each other's language. I would say, Shake hands, Bof' But that made no impres- sion on him at all. I could have been saying anything else and he wouldn't have known the difference. Finally, after I had lifted up his paw and said, Shake hands at the same time, he seemingly understood what I wanted done. 59 2 1Q.X5x J In about half an hour I went out to the dog again and said, Shake hands, Bo. To my astonishment, he turned around and started playing with a little rubber ball. So I began to teach him all over again, but this time the effort was also in vain. The third time was seemingly the charm, for now when I go out and say, 'fShake handsf, he lifts his right paw and places it in my hand. Really, he is a very intelli- gent dog. Eleanor Burton, I26. Ami, 11, 1925- Edna Ferber says that there comes a time in every womanls life when she feels that she must wash her hair. Perhaps the fact that the sun was shining very brightly and I knew that I could dry mine out of doors for the first time this year made me feel that I must wash it today. Anyway I washed it shortly after lunch and I am now out doors drying it. It isn't much of a task to wash it because it is very unlike that of Edna Ferber,s heroine, who, if I remember correctly, had long thick tresses falling in deep waves below her knees. No, I'm not making fun of her heroine, at least not intentionally, but it makes me so envious to read books because almost every heroine I ever read of had wavy hair if not very curly hair, a lock of which was always escaping and curling by her ear. Never have I read of one with a short stringy mop, several locks of which were always escaping but not to curl stubbornly, yet prettily by her ear, unless perhaps the homely heroine-and she wasnlt a success!

The Orchestral accompaniment was played by the Fast High Orchestra, with Virginia Patterson at the piano. MUSIC-ATHLETIC ASSEMBLY Everything from soup to nuts on the East High platform! In other words music and athletics combined resulted in one of the most delightful assemblies of the year. Mr. Areule Sheasby of Drake univer- sity began the program with a group of three violin solos. His music was so en- thusiastically appreciated, however, that he was obliged to give several encores. His accompanist, Miss Leonore Mudge, next favored us with a piano solo, which was also enthusiastically received. Although this completed the musical parts of the program, the assembly was by no means over. Mr. Hoyt first pre- sented seven two-ring and fourteen one- ring basketball monograms for the past semester. Five girls, not to be outdone, were then presented with their hard earned numerals. It is safe to say that very few people realize just how hard these girls had to work to receive those re- quired ISO points-the first step toward an honest to goodness F. D. M. mono- gram. However, by the time Miss Pritchard had finished her explanatory talk, the students were quite able to ap- preciate the red and black numerals. Mr. Russell had the honor of bringing the assembly to a close by awarding the swimming honors-six one-ring mono- grarns, three two-ring and two three-ring monograms. Q . AMES HIGH HERE GLEE CLUB slwcs The curtain rang down amid thunder- ous applause and the Ames' Glee Club fafter more persuasionj favored East High students with a generous encore. The Ames, Glee Club contains about twenty-five boys whose voices show talent and careful training. They came to East High on Wednesday, March 18th, through the efforts of Mr. Gilbert, our music director. The program consisted of songs by the whole club and piano solos. The en- core, an impromptu program, revealed the fact that many of the boys were capable actors and artists in playing instruments, one versatile member of the organization gave a demonstration of clogging. The manner in which the school re- ceived the visitors indicates that the stu- dents do care for other than jazz melo- dies. Similar music assemblies would be appreciated, according to popular opinion. SPRING VACATION Well, spring really came at last! proof of that statement lay in the that the students were free fthat is, free as far as school is concerned, to do any- thing they wished for nine whole days, beginning Saturday, March Zlst. The fact Of course a good many students had their vacation just as mother decided that the living room rug needed beating and that the windows were just simply crying for waterf, Others were fortunate enough to be able to sweep all unpleasant thoughts of geometry tests or lab', checks into the dim past and to take the Ford or the first train to Altoona or some other restful rural scene, to spend the school-less days. This vacation was a much needed one. The teachers had noticed among the stu- dents symptoms of that malady so fatal to every one it ensnares. The only possible remedy for this con- dition, according to the school's officials, was the Week of freedom. Regardless of the manner in which the week was spent, these educators believe it restored to East High in general much of the old vim, ,. .... I A , N X X 7 X-5' S-? ' ', vigor, and vitality , for which the school is known in normal times. INAUGURAL ADDRESS WAS RECEIVED Were you one of the two thousand peo- ple at East High school to hear the first inaugural address to be broadcasted? Did you realize that history was being made, that probably the future generation will read about this as one of the greatest events of 1925? The huge and anxious crowd of people could hardly wait until the main event started, the address of the President of the United States. As a preliminary, de- scription of the Weather at Washington, D. C., was given, and the Marine band played several numbers which came in very clearly. The climax ended as the president was given the oath of ofiice by Chief Justice Taft. The presidentls voice was clear and sounded forcible enough to settle any question. The applause of the seven- ty-tive thousand people, approximately, at the address was heard distinctly. The voice seemed to fit the personage of the president quite Well, as one would visual- ize him. The program was sponsored by the Ra- dio club of which Nlr. Astor is the ad- viser. The student body sends its heart- iest thanks to station WHO, for its part in the program. NOTED SINGER ENTERTAINS Mr. George Jackson, of New York, sang the following selections during the noon hour program on Monday, March 9: 1 Stood on the River Jordanf, Somebody's Knocking at Your Door, At Dawning. Mr. Jackson was accompanied by Miss Adams at the piano. Mr. Jackson is representing the Na- tional Community Service. He gave a very impressive talk urging the establish- ment of more playgrounds for children, and said that musical life should be given more attention, because music carries a message of truth with it. Mr. Jackson Put especial stress on this sentence, Low senti- ment makes low people and high senti- ment makes high people. Q SENIORS MIX 'llhe lull ol social alliairs of the senior class was started rolling hy the senior mixer in the gymnasium on Friday eve- ning, lklarch 13. The purpose of this alliair was to acquaint all of the seniors with each other. Clever games and fea- ture dances accomplished this. lkfleinlvers of the decoration committee proved that they were not susceptible to superstitious beliefs for, in keeping with the so-called unlucky date, a ladder was placed directly over the doorway, open umhrellas were suspended from the ceil- ing, and the figure thirteen was displayed in a conspicuous position. Red and lwlack pennants completed the decorations. :Xfter several amusing games, planned hy the entertainment committee with VVillard Malvee acting as chairman, the rest of the evening was spent playing games of rook and in dancing. 'llhe fea- ture dances included several tags and a hroom dance. Nlembers ol' the faculty who acted as chaperones were lkfliss Gabriel, lyliss l'ritchard, lVlr. Houser and lVlr. Burton. slfilifiii it ' EXTRA! BIG WR1iCKl l'lAs'r III. CHEM. Lau. A XYIHGCK During the third period Tuesday, March 31, the peaceful inhalwitants of the lfast High chemistry laboratory were roused from their routine hy a terrific crash. Picking themselves up and rushing to the spot from whence the sound pro- ceeded they discovered lvig splashes of xxlfss acid and a nuinlwer of hroken re- agent liottles. Some one had upset at shelf containing these laottles. This hflarch did not go out like a lamhg at least not in the chemistry laboratory. A TRACK MEET EVERY DAY 'llhe student council has provided noon programs for the past three semesters, but now they are appearing in an entirely ditlerent form. The line weather has caused the corridor and assemlvly room to lie practically deserted, so the council devised a plan of out door entertainment. liach week some track stunt is sched- uled for lvoth girls and lfoys, and every person is given one chance. 'llhe home rooin having the highest average score is the winner. CAST OF DADDY LONG LEGS. Q VVHO'S VVHO IN EAST HIGH Should Calvin Coolidge or Thomas A. lidison visit our school he might right- fully feel he had been slighted if We did not introduce him to our faculty of- ficers, and, as the one who has the great- est responsibilities, we should probably first exhibit our eflicient principal. Mr. Burton has been in liast High for seven years and during that time he has served as friend and counsellor as well as su- pervisor. His hobby is music and he has ably played both in the school band and orchestra. lt might be interesting to l-:now that at one time Mr. Burton was a science professor and one of his pupils is now earning an enormous salary. Our princi- pal, however, elected to work For the service of humanityl' and his cheerful personality leads one to believe he is not sorry of his choice. The personality of Miss Pritchard, our girls, adviser, would impress our visitor, as it has the student body, as being a very likeable one, indeed. Miss Pritchard came to Fast High in the fall of 1923 from Winfield, Kansas. She has received her Bachelor's Degree from Ohio Wes- layan and her Master's Degree from Col- umbia University. lyliss Pritchard enjoys tennis and golf and dancing. She does scores of things for the school which one seldom stops to think about, yet there would be a great clamor, and many cogs in the machinery of the school would be- come congested if she were absent for a short time. For instance, who would give permits for parties and help plan them? Who would supervise senior meetings and student council meetings in Mr. Burton's absence? ln general, who would direct social activities for the whole school? Discipline is the chief duty of one member of our faculty, and perhaps some students, who have been so unfortunate as to need her attention along this line, would vouch for her htness for the posi- tion. However, this is but a secondary side to the nature of Nliss Needles. She is ever willing to help wherever she can and she does so in the true spirit of the giver-because she likes to. She has helped many a girl to gain a cheerful outlook on life and often, through the girl, has lifted a whole family from the depths of despair to the heights of hope. During the war Miss Needles was an elli- cient nurse overseas and did her bit'l in a more direct manner than many of us were allowed to do. Mr. Pritchard, the vice principal, has much the same part to play in the lives of the boys of the school that Miss Needles has in those of the girls. He has made it possible for many boys to continue school when financial difficulties have made the student think of leaving school. He acts as a medium between boys who have something to give and those who are in need of something, in this way no one feels that he is being patr0I1iZCd. Mr. G t Pritchard is an enthusiastic debater and a baseball fan. ln spite of the fact that he has many duties to perform, he im- presses one as having very little to do. This can only be explained by the effi- cient and thorough manner in which he handles his work and his carefully formed habit of never leaving until tomorrow, that which can be done today. Last, but not least, Mr. Pritchard is a true gentle- man in every sense of the Word and in this way he sets a hne example for the boys with whom he comes in contact. AMATEUR SCHOOL TEACHING Talk about school ma'amsl During the spring vacation the Normal Training girls stepped to the exalted position of being country school teachers. The girls looked forward to their Week of practice teaching with fear in their hearts as Well as in their knees. Each had a separate school in which she taught every subject on the program throughout the eight ele- mentary grades, with the permanent teach- er of that school as the critic. One girl reported the following suc- CCSSI I was so remarkable in teaching Arithmetic that I worked every problem in the book that the eighth grade asked me. The reason for this ability to dem- onstrate the problems asked for might be explained in various ways, one important thing being that there was only one girl in the eighth grade and she was review- ing. 'gln the fifth grade Geography class I almost met my Waterloo. One little fel- low asked me where the world was-and of course I answered Very intelligently, being a school teacher. Two little red-headed, freckle-faced boys in the primary class were reading the story :Chicken Little., I guess they knew it from memory because this is what one of them read, 'I hood it wif my eyes an I saw it wif my tail.' The girls all reported having had an .enjoyable time and found many friends among the pupils and their parents. 65 r 'r ' or ' L s X Xb Q., . SEN IORS AND FRESHIES FROLIC Come on Northln and from East High School, tool On Wednesday afternoon, March 11, the East High seniors, headed by Craig McKee as chairman, introduced themselves to the freshmen by dividing themselves and their younger brothers and sisters into four groups under the re- spective headings of West, Lincoln, Roose- velt, and North High. As an ice-breaker for the afternoon, Harry Lindbloom, senior class president, extended the oiiicial glad-hand to the guests, black Haltman as freshman repre- sentative responded. This was followed by a period during which the senior or- chestra furnished the party with some first-class syncopep. A bit of old Italy was introduced when Catherine Gustafson, garbed in the flaming reds and sombre black of that romantic old country, danced into the gym to the tune of O Sol Mio. Then the fun began. Contests, whose winners were each re- warded with a certain number of points, featured the remainder of the party. North, West, Lincoln, and Roosevelt themselves would have hidden their heads in shame had they heard the piercing yells which each of the four groups gave for them in the yelling contest in which Roosevelt came out, out of breath, never- theless, on top. The rest of the afternoon was divided between a mirth-creating balloon race, a heated contest of marsh-mallow eating, a pin rolling relay, a thrilling dash of eight honey-mooners, and lastly a kiddy-car race in which four gallant horsemen, 'in the form of freshmen boys, bravely rode their bucking spark-plugs in the crowning event of the afternoon, which brought West High up to the top with a score of 23 while the other three high schools tied with I7 points each. The party broke up after everyone present had marched around the gymna- sium, led by the victors, and received a package of cracker jack, each of which, by the way, contained a prize.

The manual training department is headed by Mr. Hostetter who directs the talents of the students along the lines for which they are best fitted and enables them to work, or to enter college with a very comprehensive knowledge of the subject. At the present time the classes are work- ing out a project which they call their dream housef, For this piece of work the student selects a lot and chooses the type of home he desires. He sketches the design for his home and plans the furniture. He also studies the home with a view to equipping it with a furnace and other conveniences. The manual training department is al- ways ready to do anything for the school. They do all the carpenter work for the stage and stage settings. The printing department serves the school more than is generally known, not only in service rendered but in a money saving of hundreds of dollars a year. The department prints all programs, cards, forms and other printed matter for the entire Des Moines school system. The machinery represents an outlay of from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars and an additional stock of materials amounting to several thousand dollars is kept on hand. The work of this department is an aid to the student in both mathematicsand lfnglish and it fits him to take a good posi- tion on leaving school. Many graduates of this department are holding competent positions through the application of the knowledge gained here in school. The mechanical drawing department prepares boys to enter college in the archi- tectural and engineering courses with full credit for all drawing done While in high school. They are given entrance credits by our state institutions for all industrial Work taken while here in school. During the studentls last four semesters in school the course is divided into two large di- visions, architecture and engineering. In the architectural course the work consists of: a. House plans, including basement, first and second floors, roof, elevations, perspective, plot plan, and details. b. Five orders of architecture. C. Free hand pen and ink and render- ing. 66 e - d. Topographical and map making, in- cluding laying out city additions with public buildings, water mains, sewers, lighting schemes, bridges, gas mains, and other public utilities. The engineering course includes me- chanical, civil and electrical engineering subject matter. The work is planned to eliminate the so called copying of plans, and puts each student upon his own initiative and re- sponsibility for the designs turned out. The picture which heads this page was made by Harold Carlson, a pupil in the drawing department. His work comes under the architectural course and it is a free hand pen and ink rendering. Mr. Bennett, the head of the department, al- lows the pupils to work along the lines to which their talents seem particularly adapted and in this way the pupil gains exceptional development in the work of his choice. NEWS CORNER NoT T0 Bic READ Louise Burnett and Dorothy Cahill did not speak to each other for an entire pe- riod, Friday, April 2. Furious anger caused flashing glances to pass from brown eyes to blue eyes and back again. However, lt's all right nowf, Did anyone notice a change in the in- tense brightness of the sun during the first two weeks of April? lt is said that competition makes the world go forward. Well, anyway, Craig McKee's sweater was a bright one. We know that all vegetation eventually returns to the earth, water runs away to the sea, moles live underground, trees grow upward, rain falls downward, sta- comb sticks to hair, and compact cakes are applied to noses, but where, oh where did all those red ties disappear to? Has anyone fbesides the Seniorsj ob- served the fact that for many weeks there have been no noon-hour programs? Evi- dently sunshine, basket-ball throwing, and promenade a la sidewalk are too enticing.

During the course of the evening an all-:tar cast from Hollywood was an- nounced and a one act play Eether or Eyther, was given in a creditable man- ner. The stars were to be recognized as influential members of the senior class. The ice was broken for the more timid members of the class by taking part in the game upersonality' in which everybody got acquainted. An attempt was made to dance an English dance, but it met with little success. Those who did not take part in the dancing which followed, indulged in a game of Senior crap-shootingf, The winners of the game, Bessie Calvert and Mr. Wilson, were given prizes. The dance was beyond all words of de- scription and the ueatsl' were fine. Every- one left at 10:30 feeling in high spirits. EAST HIGH ENTERS ANOTHER CONTEST Each year more branches of competi- tive work are opened for the high school student, and now it is possible for him to prove his superiority in many lines be- sides athletics. This year the lowa State College spon- sored a state wide music contest for stu- dents of high school age. The local con- test took place in Des Moines at the Uni- versity Church of Christ on Friday, April l7. East High entered one pianist, Mar- jorie Gustafson, and one soloist, Bernard Thompson. Marjorie Gustafson, who was awarded second place, entered the state contest at lowa City on April 25. e - TROPHIES EAST HIGH HAS WON As the law of gravity draws all things downward, so the East High Trophy Case draws to its shelves all trophies offered, thus spoke Paul Cotton. Paul believed it when he said it, we of East High be- lieved it when we heard it from our own stage, and now everyone believes it. lm- plicit faith in any institution or project is absolutely necessary, or failure is inevi- table. We of East High have that faith in our school. Everyone remembers the two football trophies and the Quill cups which were presented. One cup for winning the city championship in football, a silver foot- ball won by the team, not on the grid- iron, but in the classroom, by making the highest average in scholarship, and the Quill cup, our first trophy won through journalistic competition. The city debates were in the form of a Round Robin, the negative teams of each school debating the afiirmative team of every other school, and the affirmative teams meeting the other negative groups, making six debates for each senior high school. We, of Lee Township, proudly walked off with the trophy offered and calmly placed it in our case along with our other evidences of victory. Did you say anything about the city championship swimming cup? Of course itfs in our trophy case, and to be more emphatic as well as correct, we will state that no one can claim it ever again, as we have won it for three consecutive times and it is our own. The city meet was held March 13th and 14-th and the E. D. M. swimmers came Bringing Home the Trophy to East High School. A group of basketball boys represented East High in a State free-throwing basket- ball contest. Another silver loving cup found its way to our trophy case because the team from E. H. S. proved themselves the best basket-shooters. Welcher Ullrich is state champion basketball free-thrower, with Louis Rich second. The cup won at the Drake Relays last year is to stay with us for the second year. 68 ,- -.... . . Kb X Sr - -E A GLIMPSE OF HAWAII, OR THE PARADISE ISLES AN INTERVIEW BY MAH. These are the islands of everlasting summer. We do not know what a real winter is like. The kind that we know is a rainy, windy and muddy one. This is confidential, but shall l tell you that the ice box is the coldest spot l know. From my study window l can see the babbling brook, overshadowed by royal palms and green tropical trees, winding its way to the blue sea less than a mile away. Some children are swimming, while others are catching bullfrogs and tadpoles. These little ones are of every nationality. Truly Hawaii has been called the Melt- ing Pot of the Pacificf, The Japanese are by far the most numerous. You in lowa and we in Hawaii with thousands of miles of land and water between us pay homage to the same American flag. Hawaii is indeed a romantic spot. Can you imagine yourself down at Lawai Beach on a bright moonlight night, sit- ting beneath the shadows of the stately cocoanut trees, listening to the waves dash- ing against the rocks, and at intervals to some soft and melodious Hawaiian love songs, accompanied by the steel guitar or by the ukelelef Don't you think it is incomparable? But this is not the only phase of life in Hawaii. There is that other side- that life of hard toil and endless struggle to make both ends meet, the long dreary hours in the cane and pineapple fields and in the mills and canneries. ln all the schools athletics take a promi- nent place. Frequently there are inter- island contests in which the players are granted a furlough of perhaps a week in which they have the opportunity of representing their school and of sight- seeing. We have not won trophies as you in East High have done, but our name is synonymous with being clean, determined fighters. Perhaps I have given you a haphazard view of our islands but my sincere hope is to bring Hawaii nearer to you in thought and in speech. Aloha to you from our Paradise Isles. ,.-... -f .-.. .

This party was a celebration for the class having egped finals by doing good work. TWENTY On May 25, 1895, was held the first city track meet. Rivalry was keen, no one could pick a sure Winner, but then as now, each school could figure out on paper how they could win the meet. It is needless to say that the red and black supporters were everywhere in evidence, and that enthusiasm and high school spirit were overflowing. Miss Cuplin was the mascot, and, to her is given the credit for perpetrating the first war whoop of the East Side lndians. Rah! Rah! Rahl She is best, Maximal Maximal E. H. S. Possibly our track team of ten years ago, if lined up beside our present day team, might look provincial, and even in that day, our competitors from Center street referred to them as hayseeds and inhabitants of Podunk Junction. ln the game between the Y. W. C. A. and East High basketball teams, East High won by a score of 21 to 19. A gymnasium assembly was called for an indoor baseball game, the faculty ver- sus the seniors. Both teams had good sup- port, the teachers making up for lack of number in colors and enthusiasm. Imme- diately after the game there was a wild rush ff D for classes, and school work went on as usual. One certain harbinger of spring has appeared. Red,' Shufelt has resumed his habit of coming to school without any head covering. QEvidently our lads are merely following an old stylej When the football team left for Dav- enport, they were accompanied 'l, -ne cor- ner by the school and given a rousing send-off, with admonitions to defeat Dav- enport. CNote the old East High Spiritj YEARS OLD Parties have been conspicuous by their absence lately. Never before, or at least not for a long time, have the girls of East High shown the true athletic spirit so heartily by earnestly endeavoring to co-training, in order to make this spring athletic season a success. Parties, it must be confessed, are a great thing when it comes to fun, but they are also a great prompter of evil from the trainer's point of view. For the above reason, this di- vision of the paper may not be very flour- ishing for this issue in regard to size but we would rather have our trophy case filled with cups, than our boys, evenings filled with dates. In order to make this paper a success, the general student body must wake up, do more contributing, and take a livelier interest than usual. They must not for- get that it is they who are to furnish most of the material for the editorial staff and who will be counted on for making The Quilll' a financial as well as a literary success.

A group of Dutch students was visiting the school for the purpose of studying our institution of learning. Their tour was being personally conducted by the president of the student council. After they had visited several classes and had some of the workings of the school explained to them by the principal, one of them expressed, through the interpreter, his desire to learn of some of our extra curricular activities. The president ot' the student council was anxious to comply. As he started up the corridor he met the very person for whom he was looking, the president of the IC lipi 'I'an, Wilbur Pricer, who explained to our visitors that the li lipi Tan is one of the leading forensic clubs in liast High. The Dutch students listened with Wide eyes as the interpreter translated to them the facts about the speeches and the interesting debates in which the club members participated. How their eyes sparkled when he told of the last li lfpi Tan dancing party held in the gymnasium. Mr. Pricer was about to meet some of the members of the club who were preparing for a debate on the Child Labor Amendment, so the group departed to look for another club. Ii EPI TAN The president of the Student Council and his little flock had hardly begun to move on when they met Louise Burnett and Ifvelyn VValker, president and vice-president of the Girls' Dramatic Club, as they entered Miss l'ritch:1rd's room. The fair haired little Dutch girl did not lose a word of l,ouise's tale about the clever one :ict plays and programs which the girls of the club put on at each meeting. From the first Word of the account ot' the girls' division into Dramatic committees, until the last word of the description of the party, the little girl's eyes did not leave the speakerls face. 71 L -Qifi' Zig DRAMATIC CLUB just then a studious couple, armed with some mathematical instruments, hurried down the hall. The grave look on their faces attracted the guide, and investigation proved them to he Mr. Bakalyar, faculty adviser of the lCuclidean Society, and .lohn lVIclVIanus, president of the club. They accounted for the instruments by the state- ment that they were undertaking the task which the club had adopted, the making of a gigantic slide rule. From forensics to dramatics and dramatics to mathematics A ' EUCLIDEAN ' 72 and seienee in fifteen minutes seemed rather :1 swift change for our foreign friends, but they survived ndiniralnly, with fully enough endurance left to meet the president of the Forensic Club, David Phillips. David was occupied with his duties of conduct- ing the Clulv business. He stopped long enough to tell of the wonderful Nlny Party, FORENSIC 5 Q 1 1 FRENCH CLUB p 73 l 4+ .. .,... .... -.. - ggip. M - S X 1--n - they had had, and also about the many interesting debates on national topics which had been given in the club. The parade of presidents continued, and next they met Dorothy Cahill, who leads Le Circle Francais. Dorothy was just going to a meeting of the society and she took our guests along. When they entered the room they were greeted in French by Miss Jordan, the adviser. Of course the Dutch boys and girls could speak French, and so for a few minutes there was quite a salvo of French salutations. The meeting was started, and in keeping with the name and purpose the meeting was conducted in French. Lucille Hamblin, secretary, read an account of the play Cinderella,' which had been given in French a short time before. Our friends enjoyed the account im- mensely. Soon after they took their leave, bidding adieu to their new found friends, and started for fresh adventures. As they rounded a corner they came upon a group of Camp Fire girls just starting on a hike. As luck would have it, they were in charge of Vivian Ogburn, the vice-president, she explained that the president, Vera McCoy, was to meet them later. One rosy cheeked Dutch girl timidly asked, through the inter- preter, what the members did. Then every member of the club began talking at once. Some told of a swimming party, some of hikes, and others of various speakers who had entertained them. As their time was short, the group of girls had to leave soon, but they left with many a backward glance and much waving of hands. The Dutch girls fboys, tooj, looked longingly after them. Perhaps they would have liked to go with them. Who knows? About this time, one tall boy from the group, asked if there was any one inter- ested in Radio. It seemed that he had a set of his own. The guide immediately found Mr. Astor and Harold Tarr, adviser and president of the Radio Club. They explained how the club had installed a radio receiver in the school, and enabled the student body to hear President Coolidgels inaugural address. They also told of the several interesting speakers and chalk talkers who had given the club food for thoughtf' By this time the interpreter's throat was so dry from doing so much talking, that he stopped to get a drink at one of the fountains. While he was doing this, the members of the group stepped to the door of the chemistry laboratory and watched with open mouths some of the experiments being conducted. Raymond Bolten, president of the F. D. M. Club, was in the laboratory, and on seeing him the guide asked per- mission to see him for a few minutes. The interpreter was refreshed by this time and was once more quite able to translate. The letter club is composed of only those men who have won school monogramsg they have been very instrumental in promoting athletics and athletic events. The visitors were quite astonished when they learned that this club, too, had held a dance. Upon asking they received the reply that each club is allowed two social functions a semester. After thanking -Raymond for his trouble, our little party journeyed on. The next stop was on the third floor. They arrived panting a little, for none of them could have been classilied as under weight. The orchestra, under lVIr. Gilbertis directions, was just finishing a practice num- ber. Upon learning that visitors were present, the orchestra entertained them with two hne selections. The visitors sat enraptured throughout the whole time and were sorry when they had to leave. At the sound of voices in a sharp quarrel issuing from the music room, the tourists hardly knew what to do. After cautiously peeking in, 'the guide came back, chuckling to himself. He said it was quite safe to enter. The sight their eyes beheld was not what they expected at all. Instead of a hstic argument or something on that order, it was only a group of Shakesperean Club members practicing one of Shakespeare? 74 Q N Sig ORCH IQSTRA SIIAIQESPIZ.-XRE.-KN colncdius.

About the meetings they told that some feature of special interest is given at each meeting, and the programs of the past semester were very entertaining. The tourists started off again and soon arrived at the library. Miss Cavanaugh, the adviser of the Library Club inet the little group. The visitors were particularly interested in the Library Round Table which consists 01 girls who are interested in the study of libraries and books.

Lee Township has again displayed her colors and has started an Inter-School Debating Contest. Ifach club has entered a team which is being coached by a member of the School team, beside this, three Independents have entered the field, two of which are being coached by faculty members. The E Epi Tan has sent William Ash, Marcus Clifton, Alfred Eastwood, and Darrel Garwood out to win the 'KChamp title. The ulipiesw are coached by Van Robinson, a member of the Allirmative School Team. The Forensic Team, which is comprised of Vaughan Cook, William McGrew, and Iidwin Youtz, is quite positive that they will emerge victorious. This team has as their coach, Wilbur Pricer, captain of the Negative School Team. Geneva Proudlit, Vera Altman, and Ifunice Hurfaker are representing the Normal Training Club. Leslie Baridon of the Negative School Team has undertaken to put these girls into shape for their iirst trial. A team which is going to give the Forensic fellows a run for their moneyf, is from the Zetagathean Literary Society, on which is Pyhllis Hall, Lucille Hamblin, and Alice Copeland. These girls, coached by Mr. McCullough, have worked hard and furiously and have good cause to make the Forensic hustle. The representatives of the Dramatic Club are Lois Louise Thornburg, Anita Allen, and Alice Leadley. Paul Cotton, captain of the Al'Iirmative School Team, is the coach. Independents No. 1 is composed of girls, namely: Mary lilizabeth Hawk, Dor- othy Lindberg, and Salome Minetor. These girls also have a girl coach, Sara Thomas, who is a member of the Afiirmative School Team. Miss Cole, a member of the faculty, has Independents No. II under her care.

TO VVIN OR NOT TO XVIN No athlete is worthy of the medals he wins unless he can win without sneering at the beaten. In order to take success without losing his head, he must be able to ree others defeat him and then congratulate them. He would rather see a race lost in fair competition than won by a few shady tricks. Thorough study and work is required in the business world for success, likewise, training and practice is needed in order to succeed in athletics. East High stands for clean sports and fair competition. Given worthy opponents, lCast's athletes will do or dieu without attempting to take unfair advantage. Our trophy case shows what the past athletes have done, our own efforts will show what we can do, and the spirit we leave behind us will decide what the future will bring forth. Looking back, we see that it is the spotless reputation of former East High repre- sentatives that gives us our standing among other schools. Let us give the future stu- dents of liast as good a start, and by doing so give our school a reputation for fair play. A SIDE VIEVV OF OUR TRACK TEAM This year we have some very good athletes representing East in track. The team has for its captain lirnest Porter. Ernest is a good leader and will set a high mark in winning points for the school. We look for some fast time in the half mile from our captain. Some of the others to run the half mile are Arthur Wartburg, Cecil Goodrich, and Thomas Farley. In the dashes, the two boys who stand out most prominently are Robert Turner and Gordon Lagerquist. Gordon and Bob both run in the hundred and two-twenty yard dashes and half mile relay, and in addition, Bob calls the quarter mile his specialty. Charles Zook and Harry Lindblom will also run in the half mile relay. Duane Winter looms up among the high jumpers, among whom are numbered Richard Rice, Carl Widmayer, and Loy MclV1illan. ln practice these boys have jumped quite high, and Duane has several times cleared five feet six. Several good vaulters are soaring for East this year. Lloyd Lansrude and Harley lnnis are left from last year's team, and they with George -lohnson and Donald Wil- kins should gain points and set records for the school. Ernie Willis, Robert Wright, and Chester Erickson hurl the discus for us this year. These boys are working hard to perfect their form and distance. It is not uncommon to see one of these boys send the discus over 110 feet in practice. To cap it all, we may say that the team is certainly a strong one and one to be proud of. If we don't win, there will certainly be some good competition for those who do. EAST'S TEAM IN THE DRAKE RELAYS East High came through the Drake Relays in first-class shape. ln the special hun- dred yard dash, East took iirst place in the person of Gordon Lagerquist. Gordon's time was 10 9-10 seconds, which is pretty good for the first meet of the season. For winning this special race Gordon was presented with a Drake Relay special gold watch. 89 Pltbletios Q A . lg' jig In the half mile relay for the Des Moines schools East took first place. This is the second time in succession that we have won the challenge loving cup which is to be presented to the team that wins it three times in succession, we hope welll win it next year also. When the tape was crossed, our anchor man, Bob Turner, was nearly seventy-five yards ahead of the nearest rival. Although our other teams did not place, the boys all did well. In the one mile relay, our team finished second to Omaha, but the time in the other heats was less and so we missed placing by 1-10 of a second. Coach Hoyt is planning to take the team to at least three other meets besides the Drake Relays and the City championship meet. These will consist of a meet at Guth- rie Center, at Grinnell, and the state meet at Ames. Our team is doing its part, so let us do ours by boosting whenever and wherever we can. EAST CAPTURED CITY CHAMPIGNSHIP The old adage that has it that All honors, cups and trophies gravitate to Lee Township and finally come to roost in East Highf' has again proven true. This year we won the city championship track meet with a margin of twenty points, the total pointage of East being 62. Herels how we won our points. In the half mile Ernest Porter and Cecil Good- rich both got set three yards for jumping the gun, then these two worthies took the bits in their teeth and came in first and second, respectively. Lloyd Lansrude set a new city record in the high vaulting and raised the old one more than ten inches, the heighth he cleared was 11 feet 5 inches. In the high jump, Dwane Winters took third place with a jump of 5 feet 6 inches and even then beat the old city record. Harry Lind- bloom captured first place in the running broad jump with a leap of 20 feet 4 inches, not so very far below the city record. Gordon Lagerquist finished second in both the hundred and the two hundred and twenty yard dashes, Bob Turner Finished first in the two hundred and twenty with the time of twenty-four seconds flat. Bob Turner was also first in his heat of the quarter mile run, his time was fifty-four seconds flat, Charles Zook took first in his heat of the quarter mile run, with the time of fifty-four and five- tenths seconds. Harry Lindbloom took third place. Ernie Willis threw the discus 107 feet 82 inches and this took first place in that event, Bob Wright came through with third place. In the shot put Edward Ekvald took fourth place. Our half mile relay team came in first again and upheld their reputation as fast men. In the mile relay our team took second. After glancing at this formidable array of point winners it does not take any prophet to see that we will at least give all opponents a race for their lives. EAST HIGH TRACK MEET IN 1952 The other day I was listening in on my newly perfected Radole that could bring in programs that had not yet been broadcasted by radio. The city track meet caught my attention especially. One of the surprising things to me was that all the records we now consider fast were considered slow in that coming track meet. I shall not at- tempt to describe how my Radole works, but it is enough to say that I could both see and hear that meet. The meet opened with the hundred yard dash, run in two heats, eight to a heat, there were eight high schools here in that year. Even now it does not seem possible that those heats were run so quickly, but the fact remains that East won in the person of Raymond Lagerquist who won it in 8 9-IO seconds. The half mile was won for East by David Porter who broke his own record by two seconds, the time was 1 236 2-10. 90 Q A , fge Although East did not win the running broad jump, we took second place with a leap of 29 feet by Francis Lindblom. First place was captured by another school with a leap of 29 feet 2 inches. In the vaulting the red and black was given first place by a vault of I7 feet. Percival Lansrude was the winner of this. Two of Eastls jumpers tied for first place in the high jump, they were Clarence Winter and James McMullin, and their jump was six feet ten inches. ln the discus throw East placed second With a throw of 150 feet 3 inches. First place was captured from us with a throw of 151 feet. U. P. Wright took second in this for East. Although East did not win any of the remaining honors, yet she Won the meet. Another thing that I would like to investigate, but don't know how to, is to find whether or not the athletes named were the direct descendents, if not the sons, of our present track team. A GLANCE AT OUR TENNIS PLAYERS Tennis is a sport that at East High has long been carried on behind the scenes. The players who were on the team and those who tried out for the team Were never given any honor. They worked just as hard as those who took part in the other sports, but no special notice was taken of them. Now all this will probably be changed. At the present time fourteen boys are trying out for the team in Section A. Mr. Williams, the tennis coach, has arranged a round robin with the matches in such a Way that every aspirant will play every one else in that group. The team will be com- posed of the four players who win the most matches, two will represent East in the singles and the other two will make up the doubles team. The contestants who rank ifth and sixth in the round robin will play the third and fourth every week to see fvho will be the doubles team for that week. Besides the round robin for the first-class players there is one for the second-class and one for the freshmen. Both of these groups are crowded with players. This year for the first time it has been planned to give monograms for a certain amount of work in tennis. To be eligible for one of these monograms the player mus. first play his round robin matches without one default, also,' he must win enough of nis matches so that he can make the team. After he has attained that position he must play in the matches with the other schools of Des Moines and in all the other meets. Finally, to receive what he is working for, he must fill the requirements in both the spring and fall tennis seasons. At the present time very few boys are in line for monograms, but if those who are out will work hard they will receive equal recognition with other athletes. William Kennedy. THE END OF THE SVVIMMING SEASON Eleven boys received swimming monograms for representing East this year. The boys to receive them were George Garton, William Chennell, Donald Love, joe Henry, Paul Birch, Charles Caughlan, Charles Silva, Donald Ross, Glen Mower, Paul Kees, and Donald Walker. Another loving cup was permanently settled in our trophy case by this team, as the cup has been won for the third time. Besides the city championship, we Won all our meets and so have a claim on the state championship. George Garton, captain of the team and one of the best 220 yard dash men in the high schools of the middle west, is the only member of the team to be lost from com- petition by graduation. fPerhaps Scotty will wear black crepe when George receives his diploma.j Very few realize how much hard work and continuous training our swimmers donate to the school for the privilege of wearing the school letter, and We should accordingly feel more proud of them and their records. 92 9 . RESULTS OF TPIE STATE FREE THROYV CONTEST Yes, we won the state free throw contest which was entered by ninety-six high schools. In addition we took first and second places in individual honors. Ten men composed the winning team. They were Welcher Ullrich, Louis Rich, Dean Light- foot, Joe Anchor, -Ioe Andriano, Isadore Levin, William Downing, Keith Kernahan, Duane Winter, and Richard Peterson. Welcher Ullrich made forty-nine out of tifty attempts at the basket from the free throw line and he is now the state champion. Louis tied with a boy from Van Dyke Consolidated High School and when each was given thirty tries to decide which would be second and which third, Louis made a perfect score, nothing 1n0re was possible. Five others of the team made forty-three of the fifty tries and so the average of the whole team was high. EAST' HIGHIS GOLFERS AND THEIR PLANS This season our golf team is looking forward and expecting a successful season. If all goes well our team will compete for both the city and state championships. Besides competing against North, West, and Roosevelt for the city championship, our team will journey to an invitation meet at Iowa City, and the state tournament which is held at Ames. In two dual meets with Newton and Marshalltown, the Fast High team will compete with their players on their own grounds, and the teams of these schools will come here and play East. In our own school championship, Harold Carlson defeated Jack Wickham in the finals. Following this, Mr. Hostetter conducted a handicap tournament in which all entered. The boys who are striving for places on the golf team are: Harold Carlson, Craig INIcKee, Jack Wickham, Dean Lightfoot, Clyde Walbert, William Koethe, William Gould, Harold Porter, David Phillips, E. Carlson, Henry Dalburg, Charles Fraley, and Richard Jaeger. An additional incentive to lure these golf players on is that this year, for the lirst time, monograms will he awarded to those who win them. The time the monogram TRACK TEAM 93 winners in other sports spend in winning their monograms has been computed, and to win an East High letter in golf an equal amount of time must be spent, also the golf player must show himself a worthy member of the team and must fill all the scholar- ship requirements which are filled by those in other branches of sports. GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION NUMERALS Few people in East High realized how ditlicult it is for a girl to win a monogram, until at an assembly on April 18. Miss Pritchard explained the health rules and point system of the Girls' State Athletic Association. At this time live girls, Louise Berner, Frances Goldenson, Evelyn Latta, Louise McCaughan, and Helen Venn, received numerals.

There is much competition between the players, and one may count herself lucky if she makes the team. hflr. Williams is the coach and is out every day to work with the players, getting them ready to compete in the inter-scholastic tournament. The round-robin tournaments started April 20. The winners of this event will play singles and doubles with the other high schools for city championship. Among the ablest candidates for the team are Madge Roberts, Helen Venn, Evelyn Latta, Dorothy Siedler and Lorena Cowell. THE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION COACH The girls participating in athletics this spring are very fortunate to have for their coach Miss Irene Souder, a senior of Drake University, majoring in Physical Educa- tion and Liberal Arts. Miss Souder comes over to East High every day to teach base- ball, soccer, and track. She has been the girls' coach since March, but last fall she taught them hockey. Her ollice is opposite Mrs. Maflitt's in the gym and it has proven a popular rendezvous for all girls interested in the G. A. A. OUR LIFE SAVERS Life Saving, as taught in the swimming pool, is a popular sport with a great many girls. Some work at it for several years before completing the tests,lof which there are two, the Junior and Senior. The former test is for younger girls and requires less strength and skill than the latter, which is the test recognized by professional swimmers everywhere. The girls receiving Senior Life Saving Emblems are Louise Berner, Mildred Field, -lanet Thompson, Frances Goldenson, Beulah Keeney, Louise Mc- Caughan, and Edith Soppeland. Emblem receivers in the Junior class are Mary Hayne, Mildred Parsons, Eleanor Burton, Evelyn Latta, and Marjorie Slininger. 94 ,....T--- I nl r Us BV .N dogg , L- -A If H' - F ormer Sfzzdems Wrife In an effort to learn what former students are doing the Alumni editor sent letters to various members of the Alumni asking them to send letters to the Quill.

Hersh Lair said the other day that in spite of all the fraternity brothers you might make, your friends from Ifast High meant more to you than any of them.

Pk if 44 :lf 221 Pls ik Pls PI4 liven though it has been only a year since our class left the friendly portals of dear old lfast High we have been eagerly watching the advance of the ready and cap- able classes who have taken our place. What has intersted me most is the way in which you have realized the need of more outside curricular activities to accommodate the number of students desiring them. It is also gratifying to know that Ifast High is doing active, constructive work in debating. Wve are glad you scored the mark this year where we failed last. With your present training of debaters you should do even better next year. I suppose it is dillicult for you to realize how expectantly we watch for the Quill issues. Apart from being concerned with friends and familiar activities, the Quill is such a complete little journal of Lee township that anyone who is at all interested would enjoy it. If you are open for suggestions, I offer the idea of a column written by an alumnus or seieral of them. The alumni editor could select subjects or give general ideas of the article when he requests the writers for the issue. We of the 1924 class admire your progress and will support you in all that you do for the betterment of our school. Irene Densmore. My memories of Fast High are very sacred to me for they represent the idealistic part of my life's work and whenever I think of my Alma Mater I have a strange choking sensation in my throat and a queer feeling around the region of my heart. My business at present is that of a student at Drake University. Next year I am planning on going to Columbia University, New York, to begin my study of medicine. lVIinnie Schnieder, '23, and I are playing together in a musical comedy to be given sometime in Nlay by a local fraternal group. It brings back the old days of rehearsing on lfast High's stage whenever I step on the boards with Minnie. I want to thank you for offering me the opportunity to put forth a suggestion whereby the Alumni of Ifast High may be in close touch -with the school. At Iiast High there is an Alumni Association, but it does not keep the Alumni in touch with the school or the other Alumni. Now my suggestion is that there should be an active Alumni secretary, with ollices in the school, whose duty it should be to keep the Alumni interested in Fast High, and to let the Alumni know whatls doing, and that he or she should receive a small compensation for the work. Through an organization such as our Alumni .Association many good things can be accomplished, but these good things can be accomplished only by a unified and closely knitted organization. Charles Shane, IZ3. 95 X i ' ' I S3 THE ALUMNI FIELD Most of our students seldom stop to consider how East High secured many of the fine things which it now possesses. Because they take too much for granted, few of them have stopped to consider how we happened to secure our stadium to which We all have access. For a few years after East High was built the football boys had no regular place to practice, to their great disadvantage. Four of the alumni, George Garton, Fred Van Liew, John Van Liew and Clark Beard, seeing the advantages of a stadium, do- nated their services and used their influence to persuade the school board to find a place and secure a lease for one. The senior class, wishing to help defray part of the expenses, gave an entertain- ment and raised enough money to buy the lumber for seats and other necessities. The boys of the senior class became greatly enthused and under the direction of Mr. Hos- tetter built the seats. Their wonderful spirit of enthusiasm will long be remembered. Even before Mr. Hostetter could get to the scene of action in the morning, some of the boys would be there working. Cement had to be mixed and laid and all the water for mixing had to be carried from a nearby school. The boys worked during their regular manual training periods and part of them spent their study periods in working there. This is, without a doubt, one of the most wonderful things East High students have done for their school. One of these enthusiasts was Leon Smith, with whom the Hi-Y boys are well acquainted. It was through the efforts of the four alumni, before mentioned, that a twenty- five-year lease was secured and presented to East High. At this time the student body voted that these men should always be admitted free to the games played in that sta- dium and that it should always be called Alumni Field in honor of the former stu- dents that carried the plan through. We wonder, however, if these things which were voted upon have been carried out. QUILL FAME SPREADS Gladys Swanson, ,24, who served on the Quill Staff in '23 and ,24-, in writing for a copy of the Quill says: 'fl am going to the Sioux City Normal School and my English teacher, who taught in Des Moines quite a few years ago and so knows our school and the Quill, asked me to get a copy of this Spring number for her. She teaches in Boston during the sum- mer and would like to have the Quill as an example of some of the things our Western Schools do in the work of newspaper writingv--lrrethe East the teachers and professors believe that no work like this should be done by pupils alone. They fear it will not be perfect enough, consequently they do most of the Work. My instructor wishes to show what pupils with initiative can do. SCHOLARSHIPS AVVARDED We were very proud to learn that Hardy Larson and Keith O. Alexander, former East High students, have recently been awarded the Lydia C. Roberts fCha1nberlainj scholarship at Columbia University, New York City, for the year 1925-1926. Larson received his scholarship in chemistry, and Alexander won his in mechanical engineer- ing.
