QIDGXJ Clubs at East High Help Decorate During the past year it has been the policy of several of the clubs to help decorate the stadium for the football games. By this method a friendly sort of rivalry has developed between several of the clubs in their endeavor to make their decorating the most attractive. This rivalry has become so keen that it has induced the Euclidean Club and the Student Council to join ranks with the Forensic and li lilpi Tan in making thc decorations this year an accomplishment that will be a standard for years to follow. QIQGXJ Classes Issue Challenges Two classes, proud of their records in attendance and scholarship, respec- tively, have issued challenges to every other class in school. Miss Cumming's home room 20-L has given out the following challenge: Can any home room cqual or surpass the attendance record of home room 204-? 'Dur- ing the first seven weeks of thc semester, there was only one absence, and that was due to illness. Miss .lnrdan's first period French class challenges the school: Can any class equal or surpass the scholarship record of our first period French class, room 1l7? For the first seven weeks of this semester, our class grades averaged a very high 2-I-5 in this class of eighteen there were no tives, but two fours, twenty threes, twenty-eight twos, and twenty-six ones.

3 . Tb Yell Leaders Open Football Season at East Yell leaders may come, and yell leaders may go, but-yell leaders will be yell leaders. This was unanimously shown when East High gave its first support to its newly selected yell leaders at a pep assembly held September 23 in preparation for thc opening game of the season with Oskaloosa on the following day. VVith such leaders as Leo Isaacson, Clyde Johnson, VVilliam Wetherall and Lawrence Peterson, the boys on thc field will receive plenty of encouragement from the stands. Undoubtedly, a successful season is promised for these East High yell leaders. LZDCEJ East High Peps U p Will we beat North High? Yea, Bel VVc did not beat North High, but did the next best thing. VVc tied the score. Perhaps part of the good showing our team made was due to the pep assembly held at 1 p. m. on Friday, October 21, in the assembly room. The assembly was probably one of the best that East High has had in recent years. It began with two selections by the band as the students were marching into the room and preparing for the assembly. Dr. Geistweit of the First Baptist Church, and Mr, Irwin, a physics teacher, and a sports writer for the newspapers, were the speakers. Mr. Irwin told about the strength of the North High team and about our chances of winning this year's game. A very interesting talk on sportsmanship was delivered by Dr. Geistweit, who intro- duced himself by mentioning his football experiences while in college. William VVetherall, Leo Isaacson, Clyde Johnson and Lawrence Peterson led the enthusiastic group of students in yells. A large book, on the pages of which were printed the East-North scores of former years, served to arouse the group to enthusiasm. . After we had been favored with two or three songs by the quartet, Mr. Bing- ham gave ns all a big scaref He said that he had just been informed about some unaccountable mistake by which the game was being played at the time of the assembly instead of on the following day. In order that we might find out something about the game, he suggested that Mr. Luce, who was in the rear of the assembly room, should try to get station WHO on a huge radio which was standing upon the stage. Mr. Luce was said to have recently held a debate with some people on Mars by means of this radio. After a short delay and some static, he got WHO, loud and clear. At this time a very good account of a fake game in which East won by a 7-0 score was given. When the game was over, Mr. Pritchard dismissed the assembly, and allowed the cheer leaders to give one more yell as the students were passing from the assembly room. LIBGX9 Hall Monitors Selected at East H igli Thirty-two students have been chosen for hall monitors in East High for this semester. Applications are made for this position, and the most worthy applicant gets the place. This is regarded such a service to the school that mention is made of it on the monitor's diploma. The duty of the monitor is to keep order in the halls during the class periods. Unnecessary passing through the halls has been much decreased since this system was Started. Page Twenty-five

g X Let's see how many rooms will answer these challen res' some interestin . n, 7 competition ought to develop. QZDC-SSD Interesting Quill Assembly Now, children, sit up straight and fold your hands. This morning we are going to study the Quill. Thus the Quill assembly, held in the form of a country school day session, was opened on Tuesday, October 25. Teacher was impersonated by Dorothy I riedman, editor-in-chief, the superintendent was Stephen Vllrightg and thc pupils were the members of the editorial, business and typing staffs. The song, 'AGood Morning, Dear Teach- er, was rendered with gusto, and many interesting questions were asked in the history class. Some of the most interesting were: lVhen was the first Quill published? and VVho was the first faculty adviser? Long diflicult problems in arithmetic, dealing with the publishing of our mag- azine, were solved by some of the bright boys of the business staff. As was the custom in olden days, Friday afternoon was devoted to a pro- gram by different students. At about three o'eloek who should walk in but the dignified, all-exalted superintendent! After delivering the proverbial speech, hc quizzed the quaking pupils. Then he was entertained by five members of the school, who read some humorous essays and poems. Although this assembly was entertaining and humorous, it brought out very clearly the vital necessity of the Quill to school life. LIDGXJ Fall Play to Be Presentecl H ere How a family of thoughtless spendthrifts was halted in its mad race for excitement, and how this same family tried to adjust itself to difficult circum- stances will be cleverly and humorously revealed in our fall play, The Goosc Hangs High, a modern three-act comedy by Lewis Beach. It will be pre- sented on the evenings of December lst and 2d under the direction of the dramatic coach, Mrs. Lillian Getty Bridges. The play has been very popular and is modern, having been first presented in New York City in 1924-. It is very well balanced from the standpoint of character. The plot of the story centers around the lngals family. Grandmother Brad- ley, who heartily disapproves of modern youth and 'the frivolity displayed by l,ois and Bradley, furnishes niueh of the humor of the play.
