Her spirit of helpfulness, her will- ! ingness to expend herself to the limit of her physical endurance, her absolute trust- worthiness, her cheerfulness of spirit, her true courtesy on all occasions, her innate sense of I'Clll1ClI1CIlI, and her rare good judgment made her service in and for this high school of incalculable value. For five years Miss Wood was the literary adviser and instructor of the Quill staff. i Under- her tutelage the news material con- , cerning our school has reached the press in an interesting, 11 dignified, and a forceful lIl111'IHC!'. Miss Wood was much more than a teacher, she was truly a conscientious citizen. She built and kept up her own home for many years because she loved it, she was devoted to her garden and shared its returns lavishly, she entertained her friends, she took her place in the community, quietly but efliciently, in church and Sunday school, in the East Des Moines Club, in the Association of University Women, and in clubs related to her pro- fession. She was a woman of culture-culture attained through the wide and constant reading, through travel both at home and abroad, through a diversity of interests not narrowed to her profession alone. She was in- terested in life, she knew birds, she knew flowers, she was at student of affairs of the day, she understood people. By her daily living she won the love and confidence of her fellow teachers, and she profoundly influenced and inspired scores of boys and girls throughout her years here. East High is truly grateful for her years of devotion. Daily now her pupil and teacher friends miss her sincere words of kindly greeting. Her spirit of beautiful womanhood will live long in the influence it exerts. All Interloper One year I planned a garden To satisfy 1ny dream, VVhere birds with joyous colors Over flowers would flash and gleam. Witll care I planned my list of guests- But in one unguardecl hour I invited in the larkspurg She seemed a friendly flower. The larlcspur liked 1ny gardeng She settled there to stay. She summoned all her kinsmeng They refuse to go away. They step upon the pansies, They hide the violet, They disregard all borders And crowd the migonette. Ch, once I owned a garden But it is mine no more, The larkspur has possessiong On me she's closed the door. -ESTELLE Woon. This poem, An lnterloperf' was written by Miss VVood, probably as an incidental piece of work, written just for the fun in it. Miss Tolosa Cooke of Greenwood School, who taught with Miss Wood during the summer of 1928 at the State University of New Jersey, sent a copy of this poem to some East High friends. Those who knew Miss VV ood will enjoy the amused dismay of the gardener, who loved beauty and orclerliness, when she found herself confronted by a flagrant disregard of hospitality on the part of the larkspur. All of her friends also knew what a great joy her garden was to her. ' an P 1 1 4 i V x X 1 L NOVEMBER, 1929 Y VOL. XXVI.

Though the school was held at East High, the president was a North High student. The combining of the four schools makes an unusually fine class, and the summer school graduates enjoy themselves as much as the .lune or january ones.

As a child I would sit hour after hour staring into my grandmotl1er's lireplace. The red and laven- der Hames seemed to enchant me. As I watched them flicker and leap, I became unconscious of all else. I was in fairyland. Love, romance, and adventure appeared to me in this wonderland of color. I imagined myself in strange lands seeing queer sights, or I was on the high seas lighting with pirates. Instead of just being a small lad with a great imagination, I was, in this fairyland, a prince leading great forces to light for righteousness, a king governing broad pleasant lands, a poet, or an inventor. How pleasant it was to sit before the fireplace while Granny told stories and the wind whistled wildly through the lofty pines. Great dreams unfolded before me as I listened to Granny's words. I saw the struggle man had made to raise himself out of barbarism. I saw the rise and fall of beautiful cities and great nations. The brightly colored pages of history's enormous book opened before my eyes as I gazed at the fire. People called me a dreamer, but I am sure they could not seed what I saw, as the flames of red, orange, blue, and green danced and llickered before my eyes. MARY GOLDBERG, '30. Mm. Recipe for Happiness jest happy as a blue bird, A-singin' blithe and gay, Oh, that's the life for anyone Who's happy all the day. Don't sit around all time an' mope, See how the sun's a-shinin'g An' watch the clouds go floatin' by jest like a lazy lamb. It doesn't pay to' sit an' cry, You're jest a-wastin' water. So tell your tear drops all goodby, An' 611 your heart with laughter. T'wi1l make a better man of you To say that you don't care. . An' as the sunshine dries up dew, Watch all your sorrows fly. MARGARET WILLEY, '30. Page' Thirteen Effects of F rowns If you should frown, and I should frown While walking out together The happy folk about the town Would say The clouds are settling down In spite of pleasant weather. FRANCES PERKINS. The Early Bus With a push and a hearty shove we crowd ourselves into the street car. A few are lucky enough to get a seatg Come on, Lucky. If-Iold my books for me. That's a nice pal, frankly calls a friend. Do you think this street car will catch the early bus ? asks a painted, waxen flapper between the chaws of her favorite gu1n. 'fYes, I'm sure it will. I ran some in order to catch it, is the answer. With a stretch of many necks and a cheer from several voices, we see the bus standing waiting as we turn the corner. Like a center smash, we go from the street car to the already crowded bus. The bus is built to seat 'thirty-five, but the driver makes eighty his limit. ' Move on back there, Cheese! Well for gosh sakes, Mary, who can help it if your white socks get wiped on, calmly assures a young student to his closely pressed neighborg As we ride merrily along, one can hear various scraps of conversation. Ouch, somebody's pen is sticking my back. 'Tm standing like a button hook. Who has my history? Oh gee, I'surely did. get the Worst bawling out today I have ever had. Some one cries with pain. Who in the world has on a porcupine coat? Others almost die with laughter. That note was a scream. Say, big boy, hand over my handker- chief, come on, pass it over, chirps an angry teased girl. 4 As we make our way through the crowded aisle to the door, it re- minds one of a boa constrictor trying to swallow a fat cow. Witl1 a sigh of relief, we get off the bus and snatch from the windows our scattered belongings that are not fortunate enough to be stationary like a nose or an ear. , BEULAH Hour, '32. Time's Messengers Who bring the tidings that make time pass? Golden sand in an hour glass, The sun a-tossing its flaming head, And an orange moon when day has Hedg A robin, in spring, to tell he's back, A calendar's numbers of red and black, Little feathers of snow to show winter's here, And a tiny red leaf bringing autumn near,- We'll always know that the Past is past, For Time's messengers bring the news so fast. . ' MARGARET PECK, '31, Page Fourteen e B1 Revenge is Sweet Undoubtedly he had been seriously wronged. He had merely climbed up on the roof of the summer-house to hear what would be said down be- low. lt was not his fault that the straw-thatched roof had broken in' and he had fallen through, disturbing an otherwise very pleasant meeting between Bess and her next best boy friend. To be sure, he did land on Mr. Childings' foot rather hard, but that was no excuse for Bess's insist- ing that his father should paddle him, and then make him stay in bed all the next morning. Bess said he had just spoiled everythingg she and Mr. Childlings were talking along nicely, when Jimmy came down through the roof so noisily and abruptly that Mr. Childings supposed for a second that the sky had fallen in. 'Course she would say that, because he came through just when action was at its highest. But he'd get even with her somehow or other, all he needed was time. The disaster did not have such a bad effect on Bess that she forgot to have a good time in the next few days. Oh, no! Bess was lively and kept things going wherever she was. In two days, everyone in the family but Jimmy had forgotten the incident. They were all too busy to .remember anything now. Bess was to have a lawn party that night, and everything had to be ready in time. Jimmy, somehow, could not be found that morning. The door to his room, however. which overlooked the side yard, was locked and queer noises were issuing from within. The general surmise was that Jimmy was monkeying with that use- less old ,searchlight of his again. VVell, let him 'amuse himself with it. He would only be in the way if he came downstairs. About noon Jimmy appeared. He ate his dinner in silence and then disappeared in the general direction of town. In half an hour he was back again. This time he wandered around the summer house and in a little while became very much interested in the chairs there. He was not bothered, for everyone was busy with Bessis affairsr He stayed in the summer house for about half an hour and then disappeared in the barn. E Wlieii jimmy went into the barn, he did not. as might be supposed, wish to get anything from the store of treasures in the loft, he went in for business. After crawling through devious dark passages and under- neath old boxes, so constructed as to form a tunnel, he arrived at the other side of the barn which was next to the neighbor's yard. Here he lifted back a board in the wall, and by. much puffing and twisting, man- aged to squeeze through and come out in the neighboring yard. He gave the gang whistle, and in a moment or two was joined by a red-haired, freckle-faced boy, whose real name was Bill, but who was Willia.111 Stuart Romney, according to his mother. V Hullo, Bill? Hullo. A Say, you still got that cannon cracker you' saved from the Fourth of july ? ' ' Sure Wl1at'll you take for it ?,' Nothin'. I wantto keep her. A 4 Page Fifteen up A Q A X fgg I'll give you some hooks and a ten cent fish line for it. Will you trade P Nope, Tell you what I will do though. If you'll gimme that mud turtle you caught, I'll trade with you. Now. That's too much. Say though, I'll give you that mud turtle for her, if you'1l shoot her off for me tonight. Bill, bewildered by an offer that let him have all of the fun out of the Hrecracker and still get a mud turtle for it, rather blindly assented to this proposition. All right. Be sure and shoot her oi? at ten minutes after nine to- night, down back of Sis's summer house. Be sure now. Will you P 'Course Why P , So help ye. V So help me. After these thoroughly binding words had been pronounced, jimmy went into the barn again and appeared a moment later with a wriggling mud turtle in his hand. This he gave to Bill. Bill took it, still in a daze at the unheard-ofbargain and started for the house. Each then disappeared into his own strongholdg-Bill into the house and Jimmy into the barn. jimmy again climbed through the mysterious but useless passages, emerged from the barn, and went immediately to the house, where he buried himself in his room again. As we mentioned before, Mr. Childings was Bess's next best boy- friend. Her best one, a Mr. john Tillons, was under the disfavor ofthe head of the house because of a certain escapade in college. Bess had received a note from him the day before via the small boy route. with these words inscribed on it, I shall be in the summer house at nine o'clock tonight. 'Nutt said, john. In some unaccountable way that note had disappeared from Bess's apron pocket. Bess managed to free herself from the care of the party at about one minute to nine that night and was on her way to the summer house. Sure enough, John was there waiting for her. They went swiftly over the preliminary formalities of a meeting like this, then sat down in a chair that would hold comfortably about one and a third small people. They enjoyed this rather close but entirely satisfactory position for about ten minutes,-ten minutes in which both were very well satisfied with the world in general. Bess had just remarked that this was such a nice, quiet place to meet, and john was just in the act of agreeing with her, when, like lightning out of a clear sky, there was a loud explosion behind them. To say the least, they were very much startled. For that matter, everyone in the house was. The guests came running out of the house wondering whether there was a Zeppelin attack in progress or merely a shooting affray. No one was able to settle the question, how- ever, as it was pitch dark, and Bess and john had more common sense than to make a noise by trying to escape. For a second or two, the guests were completely mystiiied as to what was happening. Then a great light dawned on' them. It dawned on them in the shape of a brilliant shaft of light streaming from a searchlight in jimmy's window and directed exactly on the summer house. Asound greatly resembling uproarious laughter came from the people in the yard. Bess and John were wedged in the chair, each endeavoring Ease Siefefcff - T-2 a to rise but apparently unable to do so. They were held back by some un- seen force. They remained in this predicament for fully a minute, the most agonizing minute that either one had ever gone through. Then a fuse was kind enough to blow out in Ji1nmy's Searchlight, and a merciful darkness surrounded them again. V ' When the first person reached the summer house, he found -no one. Sharp eyes might have' detected a white dress disappearing around the house, but the only visible sign of anyone's ever having been found in the summer house was a medium-sized chair in the middle of the iloor and a generous portion of Bess's party dress sticking in the bottom of the chair beside the greater part of Mr. Tillon's spotless white trousers. - The next day, as Bess, now in temporary disgrace with the. family, was making up jimmy's room, she made two discoveries. The iirst was a note that fell out of Iimmy's coat when she hung it -up. The note had a strangely familiar look to her, so she opened it. Inside were written -the words, I shall be inthe summer house at nine o'clock tonightr, , 'Nuff said. John. ' ' ' ' ' ' b I ' ' The other discovery was a large bottle that had been full of mucilage a day or two ago, in Jimmy's wastebasket-empty. 4 CAROLINE DUNCAN, 30.

The teacher asked John, thinking that he was asleep, fas teachers always doj to tell of the journey of a pioneer to Iowa. This is what she heard. Listen, my children, and you shall not hear The mid-night ride of Paul Revere. But of a better thing, as you shall see, All about my history.

They helped settle this country, for me and for you. lNe lived in Richmond, a dear old town VVhose houses were painted, a red and a brown. VVe left by the way of the Cumberland road. A trail very difficult with a very heavy load. And when we reached the Cumberland Gap, We heard Indians coming like a loud thunder clap. The Indians came onward with an awful rush And we shot them from behind every tree. every bush. VVe killed them and killed them, and killed them with glee Until there was not an Indian to see. And when we had picked up our wounded and dead, We rolled up in our blankets and went right to bed. The next morning we got up with the sun, And soon the wagons pulled out. one by one. VVe traveled for a week or so Because you see, we went very, very slow. And one day we came to the top of a hill From where we could see the town of Louisville. Here we bought a big flat boat, A cow, some chickens. and an old billy goat. We floated down the Ohio, day by day, With our animals and a load of hay. And when we reached the Mississippi river, Thinking of going up stream made us shiver. But we buckled in and started out To make St. Louis without a doubt. VVe staked a claim for a little homestead And went out to camp and went right to bed. RUSSELL OLSON, '3l. Gangway A buzz of a bell, a shuffle of feet, They're running a race that's hard to beat.

As Mrs. jones is used to having her own way, she and mischievous little Jimmy step into the back seat of the car, while Mr. Iones reluctantly climbs into the driver's seat. Now, Pa, begins Mrs. jones, do be careful when you back out of this driveway. You might happen to bump into that telephone pole. She sees a car approaching a block away. Pa! put on your brakes quickly. There's a car coming, up there a little ways oE. Mr. Jones slams on his brakes. It's all right now, Pa. That car turned at the corner. Thank good- ness, we came out of that driveway safely. Look out! There's a nail on the street. Don't run over it, or we'll have a blowout. Pa manages to run the front tire right square over the nail, Qwhich proves to be only a stickj. Pal Didn't I tell you not to run over that nail? By this time Jimmy thinks that it is about time to put in a word. Oh! Mother! Look at that pig. Look quick. Hush, Jimmy, I don't have time to look at everything. Silence ensues for a minute or two. Pa is so overcome with surprise that he turns his head to see if Mrs. jones is still there. Pa, ,don't turn around and look at nie. I'll take care of myself. You might run into a ditch. She sees a yellow sign, some distance away. y Now what in the world does that sign say? Oh! It says it's a 'turn.' Now drive slowly. Pa speeds up. Didn't you see that sign that said to drive slowly? Don't drive so close to the edge, you'll go right into that fence. Here comes a car! Get on your own side, quick. Papa, look at that house, screams jimmy. Hush, Jimmy.

Oh, what a terrible warning for a girl like me, with such a love for good things. It was my mother who decided things had gone far enough, and took matters into her capable hands. I was doomed. ' My form, which was not unshapely but well-padded, was to be chiseled by one method or another until I was the fashionable shape of ai tooth pick, upon which my frocks would hang as though still on a clothes hanger. I rebelled, but the uprising was sternly put down, and I was a target of this cold-bloodedphrase, that it- was for my own good, -odious phrase. ,QE ly ig I submitted to being put on a diet. I-Iow I hated it! None of my favorite dainties could be indulged-I could eat only corn Hakes, while the family enjoyed hot biscuits with melting butter, crisp green salads, flaky baked potatoes, roast pork with its crisp fat still crackling, and a tempting dessert topped with a fluff of whipped cream. I sat nibbling corn flakes and reflecting on the Injustice of Life. Oh, Mom, don't I get ANYTI-IING?', Do you mean to say you want to break your diet at the very first move? Have you no will power F Under her glance I subsided, and my father suggested that perhaps an olive wouldn't hurt me as its caloric value was low. An olive! I wanted FOOD. After two weeks of this, I was led expectantly to the scales, which were to present me with the reward of my torture. One look at its smug, round face informed me, I had lost nearly three-eighths of a pound! Was it worth it? I didn't think so, and I presented myself accordingly at the table for supper, a determined expression on my face. In spite of protest from the family, I ate and ate and ATE, for the first time in fourteen days. ' Peg, if you eat any more, you'll burst, cried Mother. Well, I said coldly, pass the potatoes, and get out of the Way l MARGARET BARRON, '30.

The Biography of a Whirlwind J Even before the sunrise there had been something suffocating in the air. After the sun rose, his rays had beaten on the yellow of the wheat, the dry stubble ofthe barley, the gray-green of the oats, the black-green of the maize, and the black alleys of soil between the corn-rows, like the downward strokes of wielded flame. Every breathing creature needed air, but not the occasional hot putt, now from the south, now at the next movement from the east or the west. These puiis were so hot as to suggest that they had been blown from iireg people moved out of the breeze for comfort, instead of into it. In the northwest, the clouds hung draped in pendant folds. Rising from the southwest was a .vast curtain of clouds. The leaves hung motionless in the parched air. 1 Suddenly appeared the queerly shaped cloud of which they who watch the tornado always tell afterward. The black funnel-shaped cloud hung there, threshing about, moving back and forth like a starved beast searching for food. Everything under it was hidden by sheets of rain or hail or dust or mist! It was coming on, coming fast! Now the funnel touched the earth! And now! Out of its sides and top as it came on, a thousand things were thrown, as if the funnel were a great grinding-machine! A roar like the clashing of railway trains afar off began to be heard. It came on, roaring louder and louder! It was hurling things upward and onward-trees, posts, beams, frag- ments of destroyed buildings. It was dark, and- The tornado was over, but not forgotten. MARGUERITE VVRIGHT, '30. Page Tweutysone - 'iii try' ig s Of Praise fWith Apologies to Baconj Praise is the reflection of virtue, but it is as the glass or body which giveth the reflection. This is a complete sermon in one sentence. Images are the reflections of forms, but they are as the mirror or body which giveth the reiiection. Have you ever been in the Fun House or the House of Troubles at Riverview? If you have, you will know what I mean. Those of you who have, will remember those queer shaped mirrors which reflect your image in many impossible, crooked, and queer forms. We may liken human beings to those mirrors. Have you ever stopped to think what kind of a person it was who was praising you? For my part, I can tell what persons I want to associate with by what and whom they praise, and I think that most of us are inclined to be that way. It is not always your praiser who is your friend. The one who rep- rimands you is thinking more of you than your praiser is, because your praiser is risking nothing by praising you, while your reprimander is risking theiloss of your friendship. I think that is one of the points Bacon tries to make clear in his essay. It seems as if times have not changed. much in this respect. Doesn't it? ' ' There are so many false points of praise, that a man may justly hold it a suspect. just think how true that is today. No, human nature does not so easily change as do dress, mode of living, and our idea as to what constitutes a luxury. ROBERT GREEN, '30. E Lost! A mystery, worthy even of Van Dine's efforts, has successfully baffled the astute minds of the East High students. Early this semester, Mr. Lyman, biology teacher, discovered one of his three valued frogs miss- ing. He immediately put his sleuths on the trail. Many theories, which were more or less imaginative, considering that no clues were found con- cerning the fate of the poor frog, were advanced at that time. Some claimed that the frog had been kidnapped for the ransom which the ab- ductors felt sure would be forthcoming. However, as no black-hand missiles or letters were received at the time, this theory was abandoned in favor of more reasonable ones. Others of the amateur detectives spent their time following up a lead which they felt sure would solve the mystery. These sleuths claimed that Jimmy Frog had eloped with either Miss Liver or Miss Kidney, or perhaps both of these charming young ladies, for they, too, were missing from the lab. Those who supported this theory based their case on the fact that jimmy always had shown a decided interest in the two ladies. Once before when he had escaped from his 'fhomej' he had been found curled up between these two beauties. However, their efforts came to naught, for not a trace of jimmy was found. If he did decide to elope with these two ladies, he made good his escape and is no doubt living peacefully at Salt Lake City. If he is there and happens to see this article, we wish he would com- municate with his friends, for they are greatly concerned as to his fate. A very devoted friend, Mr. Bull-snake, became violently ill at the time of Jimmie's disappearance, and recovered only after weeks of anxiety. After such a long departure, Mr. Lyman seems to think that Jimmy has croaked. RICHARD MCGAHAN, '3O. Page Twenty-two The Book Digest THE SUN CURE -Alfred Noyes From one of the outstanding English poets comes the clever, witty novel, The Sun Cure. It is the story of a village curate, who, rather disconsolatze at being rejected by Barbara Lane, the girl he loves, decides to try the sun cure. How he gets back into the village after his cloth- ing is stolen by Double Dick makes a most humorous story. This story shows Noyes to be a good novelist as well as a good poet. Despite the fact that humor and cleverness are the outstanding character- istics of the story, a philosophic strain runs through it all. ERMA RoM.ANs, '30.

THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD -Philip Gibbs Q A man pulled on one side by that which his own conscience thoughts right and on the other by the ideas and traditions of his beautiful wifeg a man striving to walk in the middle of the road, yet truly believing the opposite of what his wife believed right-thus was Bertram Pollard's position. Pollard's sympathy for the poor and striking class of England and Ire- land, and Ioyce's feeling toward the aristocracy make up the plot for this interesting novel. The trials and beliefs of the man and his friends and the condition of all Europe after the Great War are given in an in- teresting manner. . The novel not only gives us a good account of the condition of Europe and the views of the different classes of people, but it also shows how this man was loyallto the last to that which he believed' and to those whom he loved. JEANNE SWEENEY, '3O. - Page Twenty-thnee Page Twenty-four BITS Cf ITE MEAT . . A Gummy Question A e T The horrors of chewing gum have been lectured, sung, taught, and preached to students since the days of the hoop skirt and have impressed them so much that they now chew twice as much! Contrary to popular belief, highschool pupils are no different from other human beings, and as human beings they enjoy doing something that is generally' believed to be a little naughty. It appeals to their spirit of adventure and in their own estimation raises them high above their humdrum fraidy catf' fel- lows. The average student knows that the teacher holds nothing in such low esteem as she does a stick of gum. She says, lt's awful stuff. As it is awful, and as it is a little naughty to chew it, most students go the way of all flesh and indulge in this habit for reasons that have just been mentioned. - In Lebanon, Illinois, Time tells of a chewing gum enthusiast that chewed 45 sticks of gum, broke the wo1'ld's chewing gum record, and got diabetes as the result. This is an extreme example, however, for gum is really not 'tawful stuff as far as the ingredients are concerned, but the habit is awful One does not fully comprehend how degrading gum can be. Neither does he realize that this habit might be a deciding fac- tor in securing a position. It is universally considered boorish and un'- couth, and it is a certainty that no person could ever hope to gain social eminence with a wad of gum in his mouth. Faux WILLIAMS. The Coal Bill - p Back in the Good old daysi' when education was intiicted by the per- suasive powers of a well managed hickory switch and school was'a luxury to many, the problem of the fuel bill was negligible. A day in the timber with bucksaw and axe, skillfully manned by a group ofthe least situdious boys, furnished the season's fuel for the big iron stove. But the younger generation, Oh! Attending school in a modern three story structure with 110 rooms to be heated, the fuel problem is infinitely greater. In fact, East High burns enough coal annually to supply an average home for better than 180 years. A truck hauling 10 tons of coal per trip would have to make 180 trips to haul the winter supply of coal for East. At 32.75 per ton this coal supply would place in circulation approximately 34,950 every year. - ' ' Discontented fathers should read these figures and rejoice exceedingly that they do not have to pay East I-Iigh's coal bill. . I .LL ,. . . . A LLOYD REISE. H Page Twefaty-five g 1 . The Globe Trotter, a la Hobo One of the most interesting personages in our school is a student, who, like the VVilliam Goat of song and story, has a habit of rambling all around. He has rambled to more than twenty-live cities of major im- portance from the Atlantic to the Pacific, andfrom Canada to the Gulf. He has souvenirs from every city that he has visited. These souvenirs range from spoons and napkins to geological specimens. He has traveled 14,499 miles or almost three-fifths the distance around the world. His travels started in the fall of 1923 Qand have been falling ever sincej. Among the widely separated places he has visited are: London, Ontariog Sioux City, Iowa, Lincoln, Nebraska, Omaha, Nebraska, Milwaukee, XfVlSC011SlI1j Davenport, Iowag Dubuque, Iowa, Kansas City, Missourig and three times to Chicago. His latest pilgrimage was to VV'aterloo when the East High football team played there. Wlietlier or not he will attend the next out-of-town football game depends upon his financial condition. One of the rarest stories he tells is that he flew in an airplane Qstow- away methodj from London, Ontario, to Hamilton, Ontario, and on tl1e way took a picture which contains three of the Great Lakes. Oh, me! Oh, my! On another occasion he rode on a truck which had an 1800 inch wheel base. Ut was used to haul automobile bodies in Detroitj. The stories he tells would fill seven volumes of closely printed pages. QN. B. Seven is the number always used in exaggeratioimj He calls him- self the Prince of I-Ioboes. No, he was not dying but told this in a moment of extreme depression. His greatest ambition is to be a conduc- tor on a one-man street car. The above confession was sworn to in secret as he does not choose to use profanity. CEditor's Note: As this confession would cause no end of embarrass- ment if it were not kept entirely secret, we entreat you not to reveal this strange tale to any other personj Figures It is not the purpose of the writer to advertise the smoking of cigar- ettes, but to show how many of them, were sold in our state last year. The cigarette tax in the state of Iowa for the year 1928 was a little over 951,000,000 lf your mathematics doesn't fail you, you can easily see that 50,000,000 packages were sold. The average package contains twenty cigarettes, so 1,000,000,000 cigarettes were smoked in Iowa last year. Consider the length of an ordinary cigarette as three inches, then divide 3,000,000,000 inches by twelve and discover that 250,000,000 feet or 47,348 miles of cigarettes were smoked. For figures' sake, let us say that a man can smoke a cigarette a minute. If a man were to smoke all the cigarettes sold in Iowa last year. at the rate of one a minute, he would have to smoke 16,666,666 minutes or 694,191 days. In order that you may know how long that is, divide by 365, the number of days in a year, and you will find that the man would be 1,992 years old bythe time the last cigarette was smoked. As I have said before, this was not written for the sake of the cigarette manufacturers, but rather for the sake of statistics, and not of figures that reach for a Lucky instead of a Sweet. , . . l'.IOW.-XRD PORTER. Page ,Twentygsir Tick Tack Toe ! Tick, tack, toe, around I go, is evidently a game quite popular at East High, for it is played by over hfty per cent of the students. The other half either have game legs or else are too sophisticated to indulge in such a kiddish pastime. The game is really quite simple. All one needs is a good pair of shoes, plenty of heel plates, and the natural ability to walk heavily. The object of the game is to walk to and fro, hither and yon, up and down East High's long, marble corridors Qbeing careful to step extra heavy when passing to and from a roomj. This is said to draw scowls and reprimands from the teachers, at which the offender is supposed to gutliaw with evidence of great glee. Let it be known that this game is not confined wholly to our great, big, husky football players. Oh, my no! for girls can play too, and do play, only they place twice as many plates upon their shoes to make audible the tiny tick tack that would otherwise be lost. No plausible reason has yet been advanced as to why they play this game, and numerous surreptitious inquiries have, to date, failed to give the much desired information. just how long this noisy little game will continue is very doubtful, although in all probability it will be in the dim remote future, for some people will never grow up but will for- ever be attempting to play little games learned during their romper days. FELIX TVILLIAMS. Long Skirts Time is passing, and with it fashions are changing. There is a current opinion that long skirts will be popular in the new wardrobe. Why should this fashion become popular again? It was fashionable once, and if it was a desirable asset to a girl's wardrobe, then it would not have changed to the other extreme so quickly. ' Imagine Queen Elizabeth, attired in one of her extremely long and fastidious gowns, running to catch a street car. She would find this im- possible, and would certainly be late to work every day. All girls will agree, without doubt, that the adopting of this fashion of long skirts would mean that more time would be required for dressing. The majority of the girls' escorts now complain about waiting. The don! ning of long skirts would certainly notqshorten this indefinite delay. But now the question arises: will modern girls be able to content themselves with today's fashions, or will they follow the new fads even if this means Wearing long skirts? We shall have to wait to see if the fashion becomes the rage. If it does, then the girls will have an oppor- tunity to show their will-power in refraining from such extreme fads. If it does not, then we have no cause to worry. Thus the old proverb still holds true, Don't cross the bridge until you come to it. . ARDIS ROBERTS.

Q N es- X ACIQOSS THE TABLE The modern version of Thanksgiving differs from that of the Thanks- giving of a century ago, although the general idea of the occasion will never change. This Quill portrays Thanksgiving as a joyful festivity. We have, by renaming departments and introducing new features, tried to make this edition a combination of the Thanksgiving of yesterday and the Thanksgiving of today. Around the Fireside and the Gifts of Maize symbolize the Thanksgiving of our grandfathers, but Chasing the Turkey and the humorous Pass the App1esauce! express Thanks- giving as it is in 1929. VVith this generalization we hope that your atten- tion' will be even more focused on Thanksgiving as a time for thankful- ness and joy. ' Are You 21 Thief? A thief? Cf course not. VVhy do you insinuate such a thing? ' It is a pretty harsh accusation, indeed. Is it just to speak with such elfrontery? Let's see. Of course you never disturb those near you, when you sit talking to your neighbor during home roorn period, telling of the fun you had last night or how unfair it was for Mr. VVilson to give you that four in Civics. No indeed! V You never sit in study hall drawing pictures showing Mr. Houser studying diligently to enable himself to prove that the vertical angles are equal, or Miss Patterson crying because she could not translate Vir est bonus. ' And certainly it was absolutely necessary to pass that note across the room to your friend. No time at all was taken from class when you popped your gum and attracted the attention of the teacher, who immediately requested you to donate to the obliging Mr. Wastelnaslcet. Of course, such an indignity as that never happens to any of the dignified seniorsg for they, no doubt, have so thoroughly mastered the art of chewing gum that even Miss McBride cannot detect the presence of that obnoxious confection. A noble accomplishment! But we're not all seniors. Did you ever stop to realize that it is not just your time that you are wasting, but that you are literally stealing time from your neighbor? Let's think of the other fellow, and help him all we can. By so doing, we will not only help him, but we ourselves will learn an invaluable lesson in self control. Page Twenty-nine e. 1' 2 ef- Q The Changing Times A certain gentleman of the past is known to have said Times change, and we change with them. Evidently that man never visited East High, nor did he know of East High's history. In an ancient volume of an East l-ligh.Quill, dated 1910, this com- ment, made by a long forgotten joke editor, may be found. He that hath money and subscribeth not to the Quill, but looketh over .his neighborls shoulder to behold the contents thereof, is like unto an ass, who having his own manger full. of hay, nevertheless, nibbles from that of his neighbor and then brayeth with glee. Today, when an edition of the Quill is issued, a person who walks through the halls or upon the campus may note numerous instances of one to live students looking at the same Quill. Invaribly thosewho do not own that Quill will be eating either candy bars or peanuts. Therefore it is appropriate that we amend that gentleman's rule, Times change, but human nature is constant. Am 1 right? Or have you already discredited my theory by having bought your own Quill? .. - Lack of Responsibility at East Many of our East High students lack the ability to 'accept responb sibility and the power to carry a task to its completion. Perhaps we are no worse in this regard than the students of other schools ot the city, for irresponsibility seems to be characteristic of our age. Should we be content, however, to comfort or justifyourselves with such an argu- ment? Wouldi1't it be much better if we began at once to weed this trait from our school life? It can be done. A concerted eH'ort one the part of all our students would work wonders. , Perhaps you say, Wl1at are you talking about? I always do what I'rn asked 6 Maybe you do. No one can deny, however, that there are such unreliable people here at East. There are slackers in the home rooms: students who never contribute in any way to the welfare and advancement of their room, except perhaps to grace it with their pres- ence Five mornings a week. The clubs of the school bemoan the fact that many of their members are just such slackers, who refuse to par- ticipate in the club work as they should. Teachers complain that for class parties they often have to do all the work which should be done by the committees, and that then the students take the credit for the final success. Now, students of East High, I leave this problem to you. Think it over and discuss it among yourselves. Resolve that whenever any one asks you to participate in any project or to serve on any committee, you will forceyourself to accept. l admit it is much easier in most cases to say, No, I'm afraid I can't help you out this time, than to take it over and put your best efforts into it. Wlieii you are graduated from school, you are going to enter some profession in which you will be compelled to handle responsible and important matters. In fact, all jobs have some responsibility attached. Consequently, if you learn now to conquer your leanings toward irresponsibility, your work in later life will be just that much easier for you.

Dust, disorder, and noise' in the new Quill Room! Though there were boxes and cases containing relics and keepsakes of the Quill staff since 1909 all the unpacking and straightening had to be done in one period. A dive down into a dusty box, and an ancient pair of rubbers was waved triumphantly in the air! Probably the property of some bygone editor -who had a chronic cold and an incurable fear of getting his feet wet. ' A worn-out powder puff, a broken mirror, and an old coat 'hanger gave silent testimony that there have been Happers on the Quillrstai. How the present members were shocked! Flappers on the Quill staitl A And who was the athletic person who owned' the game of quoits? Was it just an ignorant new member or a wise adviser who used it to while away her lazy hours while the staff was busily working? The athletic department has claimed it and will use it to keep in training for their work. ' ' And, oh, how glad we are to be out of that room which we always considered stuiify and little. However, a few years ago whenlthe stait first moved into it, they thought it a minature paradise because- they always had to edit the Quill in classrooms before. V - Matinee Dances '- - It's tive o'clock in the evening, we've danced UD-since 3:15. We don't get the blues when it rains! Not when we can attend a matinee dance and listen to the peppy strains of our service orchestra. East High's social committee, composed of Virginia Arthur, chair- man, Margaret Chinn, and Kenneth Brown, has planned dances on the following dates: Qctober 4, November l, December 6, December 20, and January 31. I The service orchestra, under the competent direction of- 'Mr. Tallman, consists of: Harlan Park, banjo, Charles Buford, saxaphone, Harold Rosenquist, drums, Kenneth Young and Ralph Hall, trumpet, Alvin Turnquist, trombone, Elwyn Welsh, bass horn, Phillip Jester, piano, and Pat Kelsey and Claude Isham, violin. l ' X New Teachers at East This semester the East High Student has exactly eleven new reasons for acquiring a bigger and better education. These good reasons are nothing more nor less than eleven new members of ourfaculty. Four of these eleven were formerly at East High. They include: Miss Helen Woodman, who spent the last year studying Speech at Columbia Uni- versity, Miss Cummings, who has been traveling, Miss Stella Hargis, who taught at Callanan last year, and Miss Carolyn Wetzstein, who came from Woodrow Wilson Ir. High. ' ' The teachers' new to East are: Mr. Harold H. Talhnan, who' taught for the past year at the Ida Grove High School, Miss Pauline May, who was graduated from Ames this summer, Mr. Frank Goddell from North High, Mr. Olson, who taught last year in the commercial department of the Boone High School, Mrs. Mildred Chesley from Princeton, West Virginia, Mr. White from the College at Pittsburg, Kansas, and Miss Spencer, who taught at Warren Harding. Page Thirty-three e i ' it X is - r - - Our Honor Roll - - - A study of our last semester's honor roll again shows that East High's fair sex ranks higher in ingenuity than the masculine students. 'Forty- three' girls earned three, four, or five one.'s against twenty-two of the sterner sex' making the same grades. Perhaps the sturdy lads are so occupied with being attentive totheir pretty adversaries that they do not End time to devote to the mere study of Latin and mathematics.

A North High Can't Stop ' EAST HIGH ' T I Do you wonder that the East High Pep-o-meter strikes the top with a bang when the students are led by four contagious yell leaders spreading pep through the student body? VVho would not yell at the top of his voice for 'daring Dale, Batesole, capricious Carroll. McGregor, rol- licking Richard Debakey, vigorous Vernon Holstad, and jaunty John Elliott, the alternate? ' A ' ' Contests ' 1 Contests have always created great interest at East Higitzuid it is a notable fact that they have all gone over the topt. The lirst contest in which the students participated this year was the P. T. A. drive with Treble East Higlfs P. T. A. Attendance as 'their' slogan. The slogan proved true and the home rooms placing in the contest were room 104, firstg rooin 4, second, room 115, thirdg room 16, fourth, and room 303, fifth. 4 ' - The second contest was the Quill drive. From corners and byways alumni Quill subscriptions were obtained from foriner students of East High. The home rooms ranking-ilirst, second, third, and fourth, are as follows: Rooin 104, P00111-'Ll-, room 205, 'a.ncl.roon1.303. -Page ' 'Thirtgynfive In Memoriam - . Ships rise above the horizon, meet, greet, and pass. So it is with human beings. They meet, associate for awhile, and pass. Q Into our lives come relationships with friends which leave an im- pression that is always helpful to review. Wheii the students of East High returned to their work September, 1926, with them came Elliott Stuart. V He remained with us for two years and during that time as he mingled with the students there was no one in the school that was more cheerful, kindly, and patient. He has passed on, but his passing leaves no memory of an unkind thought or deed. East High deeply feels the loss of one of its juniors, Raymond Cook, who died of typhoid fever, August 23, 1929, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cook. Raymond was a very religious and thoughtful boy. He also took an active interest in Boy Scout work. His absence is deeply felt, for he was a favorite among his classmates. East High Prepares Etiquet Booklet East High school students have begun the preparation of a booklet on high school etiquet which our principal, Mr. Burton, considers the most important and far reaching enterprise ever undertaken by the students. Topics in the work, which will probably be known as the Manners and Conduct Booklet, will include class room and corridor courtesy, correct assembly conduct, school party and banquet etiquet, the art of conversation, East High traditions, and East High student score card. . This project is under the supervision of the Citizenship Committee of the Student Council. It is their plan to have each topic discussed in home rooms and from these suggestions to select material for the final booklet. Senior Calendar Whe11 fond recollection presents the senior calendar to view, each senior is promised a gay time at all the frivolous parties and banquets planned for the year. Under the direction of the senior officers: presi- dent, Harry Rhemsg vice-president, Robert Fallsg secretary, Virginia Wardg treasurer, Merritt Hammans, board members, Virginia Arthur and Walter Jones, the senior calendar offers various festivities. They are as follows: Senior Mixer-October 19 i ' Parent-Faculty Party-October 25 Education Program-November 13 Novelty Party-November 22 Christmas Party-December 13 Class Night-January 20 Matinee Dance-january 21 Senior Banquet-January 22 Senior Assembly-january 22 Commencement-January 23 Page Tliirty-six: T If IXI GBC Our ancestors, who came over in the Mayflower and founded the custom of celebrating Thanksgiving Day, had many forms of clubs or social activities. No doubt they considered the Thanksgiving Festival just one great club, and had their plans made for this day months in ad- vance. Althouglrour ancestors were intensely religious, yet they enjoyed a good time as much as anyone. Both the men and the women partici- pated in the social activities. The men had their hunting parties and their harvesting and huslcing bees. They also had their social groups to which they went in the evening. The hard-worked women of colonial days ,did not have as many different kinds of entertainment as the men, for in those days the husband was the master of his house in fact as well as in name. However, they did have some recreation, and perhaps once a Week or so gathered at the home of one of the most influential members of the colony for a neighborhood gossiping session such as those that seem to be so popular in this day. . Student Council Everyone should know something about our self-governing body- the Student Council. This body is elected by the home rooms of our school, each home room electing one representative to the council. VVhen these representatives meet every week, they discuss the problems and activities of the school. They then take back reports to their home rooms as to what has been discussed during these meetings. The Student Council has charge of all important projects at East High. It is the Student Council that supervises the VVelfare drive, ticket sales, Quill drive. and P. T. A. campaign. This body also has charge of ourrnoon assemblies, which are so entertaining this semester. This semester our student council was organized with Dale Batesole. presidentg Harry Breeding, vice-president: and Jeanne Sweeney. secre- tary-treasurer. The standing committees are: Citizenship. Virginia Ward, chairman, Lowell Dunlavy, Alex Baridong Athletics, Sam Turk, chairman, Williain Gill, Madaline Steeleg Campaign, Waltei' Jones, chairman, Edris Morgan, Dorothy Smithg Public Entertainment, Rich- ard DeBakey, chairman, Clifford Biggs, Helen Edgington: Finance, Francis O'Connell, chairman, Ruth Hunnell, Russell Kieferg Social, Vir- ginia Arthur. chairman, Kenneth Brown, Margaret Chinng Public Wel- fare.

' The Vignolian Club is under the advisership of Mr. Mayo, the me- chanical drawing teacher. The club has been reorganized this semester for the purpose of acquiring more knowledge about the history of archi- tecture and mechanical drawing. The Purple Mask presented at its first meeting a short one-act play entitled, A Night in an Inn. Their chief project this fall is the pres- entation of one of Eugene O'Neill's sea plays for a school assembly. ', On October 7, the initiation of the Shorthand Club was held in the third floor corridor after the formal initiation, which was conducted by the officers of the club, had been completed. ln an informal affair which followed, the old members gave the pledges a grilling. Refreshments were served after the initiation. -The Zeta athean Literar f Societ f is making an extensive stud of 1 , g I 3 H 5 s , Y childrens poetry this semester. lhe program committee has mapped out the semester's program, which covers this subject thoroughly. The members of the Home Economics Club extends a hearty wel- come to their two new advisers, Miss Wetzsteiii and Miss May. They feel confident that these two advisers will do everything in their power to advance the club. The junior and Senior Athletic Leagues have enjoyed the hikes they have had this semester. VVhenever the clubs decide to have a hike, a notice is posted on the bulletin board in the gym, and all girls interested immediately see the adviser or one of the ohcicers for further informa- tion. . Home Room ,lots Every Monday morning during the football season, home room 10 was entertained by their silver tongued oratorf' Sam Turk, as he re- viewed the week-end football games. Home Room 219 claims that they have two handsome boys and only one member who has curly hair-the teacher. VVe wonder who these two boys can be? Mr. Bingham, home room teacher for 206, won the faculty golf cham- 'pionship when he defeated Mr. Mayo, his strongest rival. Mr. Bingham received a china loving cup, which he immediately put on exhibit in his room. Miss Patterson's home room is: divided into two parts, for she really has two classes in one since she is teaching both Latin 5 and Latin 4 the first period. At the beginning of each period there is always an argu- ment as to which section shall recite last. V Miss VVoodman's home room presented a short play, A Pottle of Brains at a noon assembly, October 24, which everyone enjoyed im- mensely. i I Page Thirty-nine Home Room 319 adopted a very novel way to become acquainted with each other this semester. Ethel Baker, program chairman, brought to class a small punch board, which each member of the homeroom had to punch in turn and follow explicitly the directions written on the slip he punched out. You can imagine that it was great fun to see a girl make love to the chair legs, or to hear a boy sing a Mother Goose song. Home Room 307 took charge of the sale of football tickets this year. From the appearance of our stands at all the city games, we judge they did a good job in selling these tickets. A '- Albert Peterson, globe trotter of 209, has crossed the Atlantic four times. In addition to this, he has lived at Wfikon, North Carolina, Al- buquerque, New Mexico, and San Diego, California. A The annex, Mr. White's home room, enjoys the distinction of being the only home room of East High important enough to have an entirely separate building for their use. The annex, a wood frame building fac- ing Fourteenth Street, is devoted to the science of Auto Mechanics. A Abe Rosenfield of home room 19, who came from Russia six and one- half years ago, has mastered the English language and is now a 11A in spite of the fact that he had little or no schooling in the old country. The home room in the study hall was given a test! during the foot- ball season over practical football knowledge. It is surprising how little some people know about our all-American game.- Home Room 300 says that one of their members, Izzy Fresh, is so dumb that he thinks, Ruth is a child because she is Y omzg. Billy is old because he is a Baldwin, The teacher is in a hurry because she is Quick. Loren. is cold because he Shitfers. g Miss Searl's home room is blessed with two boy members this semes- ter. Even this small number of the stronger sex is unusual, for Miss Searl is accustomed to teaching only girls. It must be embarrassing for these two boys to have Miss Searl forget that they are present and make a statement such as this, Now, girls, I want you to do, etc. Here's your chance, boys. Home Room 303 claims, Our home room is composed only of girls, who are full of pep and are -good looking too. The members are certainly peppy, for three-fourths of them belong to some club here at school and four of these are officers of some club. They can sing, too, for six members belong to the glee club. Home Room 204 challenges any other home room in the building to any of the following contests: talkathon, gigglethon, smileathon, chew- athon, or sleepathon. This home room feels confident that they can dc- feat any or all contestants in the last two contests mentioned. Home Room 7 boasts of their quartet, composed of Gregory Secor, Harold Snyder, Felix Viggers, and Bob Dillon. Margaret Chinn is the pianist. We would certainly enjoy hearing this quartet sing. Page Forty CHASIN6 THE T IQKEY A Would You Do This? Sometimes we wonder how much the student appreciates the sacri- fices which every football player makes during the football season. Most fans think only of the work they do in the actual contests, but every night about forty boys go to the gym, struggle into various parapher- nalia, and amble nine long blocks to a deserted stadium, where they prac- tice two and a half hours under the gentle supervision of Mr. Augustine. Wlietliei' it's 90 degrees in the shade or freezing, whether it's raining or snowing, they work just as hard. Long practices at the tackle dummy and tiring signal drills are enough to make an ordinary person give up in disgust, but these boys keep at it from the scrubbiest scrub to the stars ofthe first team. In addition to this work, they have to keep themselves in the best physical con'dition possible, which means early hours, no sweets, and no pastries. Therefore, loyal fan, please think of this at the next football game and cheer just a little harder for our hard working boys.. Real and Black Surprises Waterloo 20-0 Showing a strong attack which was well balanced for the first game ofthe season, East High ran up a lead of twenty points againstAVVater- loo in the first half of their game at the latter's field. East scored in the first quarter when Rhems smashed over the goal line after the team had marched clown the field. In the second quarter two passes to Gill re- sulted in two more touchdowns. This left the score 20-0 at the half. In the second half the Waterloo defense strengthened, and the Red and Black attack was ineffective. East substituted freely in the second half because of their safe lead. Since the .held had been used for a base- ball diamond all summer, it was full of holes, dusty and hard. In spite of this handicap, both teams played good football the whole game. This was the second victory over- Waterloo in the last two seasons. East Downs Marshalltown 14-12 ' Outplayed and outweighed, a scrappy East Des ,Moines aggregation fought for all they were worth and finally defeated Marshalltown at the local stadium Saturday, September 28, by a score of 14-12. Marshall- town, boasting one of its best teams in recent years, outplayed the Lee township lads most of the contest, but due to wonderful team work dis- played on the part of the opposition, they were unable to gain the win- ning points. The rangy Marshalltown backlield gained consistently by means of trick plays against which East seemed to have nb effective de- dense. East scored early in the second quarter, but Marshalltown retaliated, leaving the score 7-6 in favor of East at the half. Page Forty one .: - i Tae Wil 5 --9 The invaders scored again the third quarter, but failed to secure the extra point. This ,lead looked l1KC the winning margin, but late in the game a long pass, T'2LllS to Gill, placed the Dilll within scoring distance, and balls plunged through the line tor a touchdown. tk pass, Gill to lihems, added another point, leaving the score l4-ll, in favor of the Red and Black. The playing of Gill, lfalls, and lthems was outstanding for East High, while linnberlin and limken held the spotlight for lvlarshalltown. Oskaloosa Upsets East 7-0 Still smarting from last seasons defeat, a group of husky lads from Oskaloosa invaded the East l-ligh stadium Uctoher J, and battered through a stubborn Red and Black defense to gain the l01lg end of a 7-O score. The local team was swept otf its feet Dy a strong and beauti- fully performed attack, which left holes in the line large enough for the proverbial wagon to be driven through. The visitors scored early in the game after marching eighty-eight yards for the only touchdown. Coach Markley's boys kept the east- siders guessing during the lirst half 'land seemingly had their own way. In the second half, however, their attack was solved and the local line held against the Oskaloosa assaults. The playing of Gill, Rheins, and Falls was outstanding for East, while Raffety and Smith starred for the visitors. East and Iowa City Battle to Tie, 14-141 Failing to hold an advantage which they gained earlier in the game, an invading East High team allowed the scrappy Iowa City lads to tie the score in the final minutes of play and ruined all hopes for an appar- ently easy victory. The game was raggedly played and was full of mis- takes, neither team displaying their usual form. Iowa City took the lead by scoring a touchdown early in the second quarter by means of a steady march down the field. East soon retaliated with a pass f1'O11l Falls to Gill, which resulted in a marker. The Lee township lads scored again in the third quarter when Rook blocked a punt and fell on the ball back of the goal line. In the final minutes of play, the referee ruled that an East High man interferred with 2111 Iowa City player, and gave the Little Hawkeyes a touchdown on the penalty. This left the score 14-14 when the game ended. Mofflt starred for Iowa City, while Falls, Gill, and Rhems played their usual stellar game for the Red and Black. A East Eliminates Lincoln 7-0 Playing in a sea of mud and in arcold rain, two local high schools battled and struggled for 60 minutes at the East High stadium, and one finally emerged victor by a score of 7-O. After a close examination, the winning team was found to be East High and the losing team Lincoln. The examination was necessary because the players were so besmattered with mud that their own mothers would not have known them. The game started as a punting duel between Fisher of Lincoln and Gill of East, neither side having much of an advantage. Both sides played defensive football in the first half. but in the second half a long run by Hayes, substitute lialfback, gave the Red and Black axtouchdown, which, incidentally, was the only score of the contest. The ball was slippery, and fumbles made the game so uncertain and exciting that the stands were kept in constant apprehension. Page Forty-two I is-.s.'lf'-A..-ve er In spite of the inclement weather, the game was very well played and was full of thrills. The 50-yard run by Hayes was the outstanding fea- ture of the game, and the punting of Gill and Fisher would be considered excellent even on a dry field. East Crashes Roosevelt 19-6 Witli their anti-aerial guns going full blast, a determined East Des Moines aggregation repulsed a fighting Roosevelt team before a colorful crowd of 5,000 spectators in the Drake bowl, Friday, October 25. The passing for which the Blue and VVhite has been noted this season was a great help to the Eastsiders, who manufactured two touchdowns out of intercepted passes. The game was a hard fought contest, both sides playing clean foot- ball. Although several fumbles were made, none of them resulted in anything serious. Roosevelt took the lead in the first quarter by means of a lateral pass. a forward pass, and a line plunge by D. Griffith. East was undaunted, however, and came back with a series of smashes and passes which resulted in a touchdown. A little later. Captain Harry Rhems of East snared a Roosevelt pass and raced sixty-seven yards for a touchdown. Neither side was eHective until the Hnal seconds of the game when Hayes of East gathered in another Roosevelt pass and galloped thirty-two yards for the Red and Black's third touchdown. A pass from Gill to Cannon added the extra point, leaving the score 19-6 as the game ended. Captain Rhems. of the victors, was easily the star of the game with his long run, line smashes, and hard tackling. An eighty-.eight yard punt by Gill. which rolled over the Roosevelt goal line, was one of the high lights of the game. f East Second Squad Active There are no awards given to our second team, in fact, the only thing they receive for their work is more work. Two or three nights a week they scrimmage with the first team, and usually, being light and inex- perienced, they get the worst of it. On some Fridays or Saturdays they play games of their own. This season they have played six contests, winning two, losing three, and one ending in a scoreless tie. Playing the Lincoln reserves at the latter's Field, they were victorious by a score of 7-6. They defeated North. High 6-0 at the Westerii League ball park. Valley Junction was their opponent in two contests at the East High stadium, and the Red and Black lost both contests. 12-0 and 6-0. In a practice game with ,Tohnston Station they lost again, the score being 6-0. In a city game. at the Roosevelt field. the game ended in a scoreless tie. The playing of Lucian VVyant, elusive ball carrier. has been out- standing all season. 1 Tennis Players Prepare for Tournament A group of boys at East High, who have ambitions of rivaling Wil- liam Tilden, have been spending all their spare time 011 the East High courts so that thev will be well prepared for the city tennis tournament. After the elimination matches. four boys- 'were chosen for the team: Jul- ian Lutz. Alfred Mohler. Freeman Frost. and Robert Patterson. The fall tournament will be held on the Des Moines Tennis, Club courts and will bebetween the four Des Moines high schools. I V , Page F arty-three Cross Country Team Prepares for Meets How would you like to run two or three miles every day after school? Believe it or not. this is what seven ambitious boys have been doing' every day since the beginning of school. These boys desire to have one of the live places on East Highs cross country team. The team this fall will probably have the following members: Miles VVilson, George Holmes. Clarence Stevens, Dau Davis, and one from the following trio. Dale Farr, Charles Young and Beryl Sullivan. The team will ruu against Perry. Saturday. November Z, and a week later they will journey to Iowa City, where they will take part in the Iowa City Interscholastic cross country meet. Last year an East High team placed second in this meet, and this year the team has a very good chance of winning. East Golfers End Season Ending the fall season with one victory to their credit and two de- feats chalked up against them. the East High golfers were content to take third place in the city golf tournament. The team, under the direc- tion of Mr. Hostetter, defeated Lincoln and lost to Roosevelt and North. Every night the weather permitted, the team went to the Grandview course and played nine or eighteen holes. Two teams represented East High in the city tournament. The first team was composed of Don Rhems, Fred Clausen, Fred Hill, and Kenneth Prine. The second team had for its members Carl Hall, Don Ortlund, Robert Vlfielander. and Mathew Baird. The second team played the same schools as the hrst team. Although the golf teams were not as successful as in previous years, all the golfers are looking forward to spring when they can exer- cise their drivers and putters and make up for this fall's defeats. Grid-Graph to be Introduced at East On E Saturday. November 2. East High students will become ac- quainted with n new type of entertainment. It consists of a large piece of cardboard which is marked off in the same manner as a football Held. A special telephone line from Cedar Rapids will bring the game plav by plav to the audience. As the game progresses, a miniture football will be to the audience. As the game progresses, a miniture football will be moved on the surface of the grid-graph in accordance with the distance the ball moves on the actual plaving field. In this way, the fans will obtain a clear conception of the game although it is being played miles awav. This tvpe of entertainment should prove to be popular at blast T-Tigb as it gives everv one a chance to hear out-of-town games. It is believed to be the first grid-graph to be used in the Des Moines highschools and is one of the manv proiects being carried on by the student council. Fighting for the Red and Black Coveted places on the football team are held bv the following stu- dents: ends. Wfilliani Gill. Versil Deskin and Lyle Rickabaughg tackles. Gilbert Bolton. Sam Turk and Dick Heggeng guards. Bob Rook. Art Tillman and Virgil Hoosg centers. Waltei' Tones and Laurence Smith: miarterbzicks, Bob Falls and George Sandburg: halfhacks. Nile Cannon, Harrv Hayes. and Tohn Hartung: fullback, Harry Rhems. These players do not constitute the entire squad, but are the boys who have been in the starting lineup almost every game. Frlgn' Forty-four. Pdge' Fbrty-jiizc 2 a 'iii' t is GIRLS' ATHLETIC Times have changed, we hear on every side. This adage surely holds true about girls' athletics. VVouldn't it have been shocking had the girls played such strenuous and unladylike games as basketball, tennis, and golf during the Puritan days? It is certainly evident that our East High girls do not think it improper to participate in such games, for they enter into sports of all kinds. In fact, we consider ath- letics so very essential that we include it in our high school course. An Interview With. Miss Spencer It takes a clever questioner indeed to End out about Miss Spencer, the girls' new physical director, for she much prefers to speak of the East Highvgirls, their interest in athletics, and the organization of the different sports. I was very much surprised to learn that I was to come to East High, she said. I certainly like it very much. The girls are splendid, and enthusiastic about athletics. I like them all and am really beginning to love them. I11 regard to what sl1e likes best todo. she said, I like to swim, and you should have seen the animation in her face as she spoke. I spend a great deal of time swimming during the summer. I would like very much to have swimming classes here in East. This may a ear to be an unsuccessful interview but it reallv de- . 1 J 1 s ' scribes Miss Spencer very accurately. She is the very type of person who proves true the maxim, Actions speak louder than words. . Girls, Golf g Mr. I-Iostetter, who has charge of the golfers, is extremely anxious to have more girls become interested in golf. This fall there were only fifteen girls out for this sport. The girls were listed according to their ability to plav-the best first. and so on. If a girl wished to head the list of golfers, it was necessary to challenge a girl ahead of her on the list. If she won, the girls changed places. At the close of the season. the list was as follows: 1. Virginia Patterson. 8. Helena Linnane. 2. Lucille Williniiis. 9. ,Iean Iildinlnorougli. 3. Lucille Demsl-cy. 10. Ruth Peterson. . 4. Annie McPherson. ll. Elizabeth Conklin. S. Mariorie Crawford. 12. Frances Bailey. 6. Corinne Rider. 13. VirFIi1'5Pl GYCC11- 7. Dorothy Saunders. 14. Alice Mowthorpe. The first team played North, tying them 2 to 2. but East lost every game played with the Roosevelt golfers. Page F arty-six Qr Qglgrl, Tennis The fall tennis season opened with 'a bang. The courts were crowded from 3 115 until 5 130 o'clock all during the iirst month of school. Because of the great number of applicants for the team, an elimina- tion tournament was held. Those who came through victoriously, and who consequently made the team are Mildred Dixon, who plays girls' singles, Mary Lou Martin, and Elizabeth Erskine, girls' doubles, and Lois VViley, who represents the girls in the mixed doubles. Mr. VVilliams, the coach, believes that the chances for East High's winning the city tournament are good. i Girls, Have You Joined the G. A. L.? Five years ago twenty-six girls met with Miss Gregg, who was then the athletic director, and organized the Girls' Athletic League. Now, the G. A. L. is one of the most progressive and wide awake clubs in East High. There are twenty-live keenly interested G. A. L. members a11d sixty enthusiastic junior G. A. L's. Although the fundamental purpose of the club is to create a wider interest in athletics-swimming, hiking, skating, playing games, keeping health rules, and innumerable other sports-each girl learns infinitely more than that. She learns the value of fair play and co-operation. She develops a healthy body, and a clear mind to go out into the world to meet the problems of life with vigor, and a straightforward, determined air that seems to say, I am ready. I can do it. Y How about it, girls? Isn't membership in the G. A. L. worth con- sidering? Girls who Wish for wholesome fun Into G. A. L. will surely run. Respite from work, and friendships galore Lurk behind that gymnasium door 5 ' So come and join us by the score. Any girl who health will reap Training rules will try to keep. Hard to do it, some may sayg Like to do it, you'll say, this way. Everyone numerals likes to win Tennis and golf will work right in. If a helper you lind you need, Call on Miss Spencer-a friend indeed. Learning to exercise the right way Eeach will gain points every day. After points have all been won Girls will say-yes, every one- Using this club for gain and pleasure Every girl has had joy without measure.

From Hollywood the word was flashed over United Press wires that Helen Friend Sagers, graduate of Drake University and of East High, was to play a part in a new sound production. Helen F. Sagers went to Los Angeles to fill an engagement with the Los Angeles Opera Company. She came to the attention of directors who placed her in the talking version of The Desert Song,', and later made a place for her in The Two Black Crows' VVhy Bring That Up. Victor Schertzinger, director of music in Paramount studios, became interested in her performances and offered her the new role. She was a pupil of Ross Vernon Miller, was soloist of Des Moines' Philharmonic choir for two seasons, and has filled a year's contract for concerts on the west coast. 4 News from the West I From Miss Marion Larson we have received a letter telling us of her new work. Soon after her graduation from East High, in 1927, Miss Larson was editor of the children's page in Better Homes and Gardens. When two of her editors assumed the editorship of the -Sunset Magazine in San Francisco, they persuaded her to accompany them, and she is now working with that magazine. This publication, she says, is similar to Better Homes and Gardens in that it is devoted to the interests of families, gardens, and homesg but it is unlike the local magazine, be- cause its articles are only for western people. Chooses College Before Career Miss Katherine Gustafson, an East High graduate of 1929, has turned clown three opportunities to go on the stage in order to continue her studies at Drake, where she is a freshman. All these stage offers have come within a month, suggesting that Miss Gustafson will have little difficulty in securing a graceful foothold in the dancing profession when she has completed her schoolwork.

Other High Schools East High students will be interested to note that the other three high schools, Lincoln, North, and Roosevelt. are trying outa new plan of activities ticket. By purchasing an activities ticket, each student may attend all the functions of the school for the price of 33.80. The students may buy the ticket on the weekly plan of ten cents, if they so desire. Since East High has not adopted this plan, the students are eager to see the result of the other schools' experiment. V According to the North High Oracle, this plan has many advantages for the average student. It is much easier for him to deposit a small amount of money each week than to pay for a ticket i,n a lump sum. Too. it makes it possible for him to attend football games, school plays, and all other school functions .forfa much smaller amount of money. -PbbefFi?Ey3thiFEe An Interview With Dale Batesole , From The Pebbles, Marshalltown high school's newspaper, we take this very interesting interview with Dale Batesole, secured by a Marshalltown high school student. This high school is especially in- terested in Dale, as he formerly lived in that town. 'East High likes the competition with M. H. S. because you are such good sportsmenf was the very gratifying statement made by Dale Batesole, captain of East High's cheer leaders and president of the Stu- dent Council, at the East Des Moines game Saturday. 'E. H. S..' con- tinued Dale, 'certainly appreciates your representation here to support your team. So many times a team will come without any backing at all. Concerning your own school, I think you have a line new senior high, and the grounds are beautiful. 'You asked if we had a pep club. 'We do not. Four cheer leaders train the student body in their yells, and take charge of the cheering at each game. When a cheer leader is elected, he holds that office, provid- ing his grades are satisfactory, until he graduates. Preliminary tryouts are held each year. and the eight winners are then entered in the finals. The ones then chosen by the student body fill the vacancies made by graduation. The school furnishes two sweaters for each boy, one white with red and black letters for football, and the other, a lighter weight red one for the basketball season. 'Neither do we have season activity tickets. VVe have season ifoot- ball tickets, but all plays and the matinee dances, which are held every two weeks in the gymnasium, are separatef said Dale in conclusion.

F1199 .Fifty-four DASS Tl-I If ADDLESAUCE Over the Ice Cream Soda Inasmuch as the Hyperion Club already has begun a C0lLlI'1ll'l in its monthly publication called 'Over the Ginger Ale,' and other parodies on this rampart of wisdom have been attempted, tsome outsillying the orig- inalj, a blessing is hereby given to Margaret Barron of East High in launching 'Over the Ice Cream Soda' in the Quill. Always provided, how- ever, that the P. T. A. does not jump to the conclusion that I am thus sanc- tioning ice cream sodas in place of wholesome, warm lunches which I am not-, says H. S. M. of 'Over the Coffee in the Tribune. There is no chance of our missing our Proteins and Vitamin B. :sf at :ef Be that as it may, our P. T. A. is doing fine work. It must be noted, however, that the meetings are not as beneficial tothe students as a Whole as they might be. It's rather hard for some of us willing CPD students to have our doting mamas and fond fathers discussing us with our de-ar teachers. Some cats are let out of the bag. One mother was heard to remark, Well, I always come to P. T. A. meetings to meet my daughter's teachers. After they see me, they don't expect so much of Peggy. Euc- cellent logic! an wk :ef I suppose everyone has noticed the remarkable Cto say the leastj color combination which has swept the school by storm. VV hat a storm! The ensemble is red and lavender. The boys have adopted it in red ties on lavender shirts, While our feminine students have clashingly arrayed themselves in red sweaters and or- chid skirts. All of which is all right, it you like it. Plsakvk Our cheer leaders, in being photo- graphed, posed themselves so that the letters on their sweaters spelled TSAE. I can see only one reason for this, and that is that their know- ledge of a mirror led them to believe that in a photo words are spelled backwards by the camera. Then they might have been given another in- spiration by the looking glass, which suggested to our pep boys that TSAE would stand also for The Sheiks at East. !7 Ik Pk Ik During the Quill assembly a good many of us were carried away by memories, pleasant and otherwise. Many of us wiped a tear from our mind's eye in thinking of the ice cream cones we used to consume with great gusto, the comfortable booties and convenient bibs we wore, and the big fuss fond aunties and aifectionate ladies used to make over us because Him wuz too sweetsie, eetsie, eetsie for words, him wuzl!! But then. Sweet are the uses of Adversity for in those carefree days we couldn't enjoy football games, geometry tests, and matinee dances.
