Faculty O book of East high school life would be com- plete without some mention made of the faculty. Probably few of us will ever realize the lasting effect of our high school teachers on us. In this part of our life when many impressions of the world about us are made, we need the guidance of older and more mature minds. This group .of people is in a large way responsible by their every day iniiuence, and association with us, for our thoughts and actions. It is a recognized fact that the education of the youth of this country is one of the most vital ele- ments in our modern civilization, and it is probable that it will be more so in the future. Teaching as a profession 'is looked upon as being worthy of the best any man or woman can give. The value of a high school education is daily becoming greater because of our scientihc and economic advance- ment. The students of today will be the citizens of tomorrow, and whether they are good or bad Page Eight citizens depends largely on the influence exerted by the instructors. One of the reasons why East high is one of the best schools oli its kind in Iowa is its superior Eac- ulty. Our faculty is composed of men and women who have had wide experience in teaching. Besides' being familiar with the subjects they teach, East high teachers have the success of the student at heart. A pupil who needs extra attention or help is sure to get thorough, patient, and sympathetic help in spite of the fact that the teacher may want to do something more pleasurable. When help is needed regarding student activities, a teacher will be ready to do anything in his or her power in spite of the fs we didn't get, and the long sixth hour classes, when we think of their patience with our stupidity, their unseliish willingness to help, and the Way they enter into our high school life, we shall always have a soft spot in our hearts for the faculty.

Mr. O. G. Prichard AST high's vice principal, Mr. Prichard, has a friendly 'attitude and manner which at all times make him highly admired and respected by the student body as a whole. I-Ie believes in the students and they in turn put their faith in him. He holds a position that is hard to fill-that of boys' adviser-one requiring the happy corn- bination of many talents. I-lis wise counsel and unquench- able optimism have led many a wandering boy aright and helped more than one out of his difhculties. East high realizes a recognized need for Mr. Prichard. His warm smile and quiet skill along with his athletic interest seem to create a spirit of enthusiasm in athletics and deepen the channels of academic desire and widen the horizons of all the students. East high without Mr. Prichard would not be East high. V W N E ii E , fl , 'iiii 6. wtn,f-ri Miss Agnes Helmreich N Miss Helmreich, our girls' adviser, we value the qual- ities of sympathetic cooperation and unselhsh devotion to her work. She is a cheerful person who always gives us a helpful word in our perplexities and who always offers a willing hand in our dilliculties. During her years of serv- ice in East high she has made many friends among the girls because she is glad in our successes and she sympathizes in our failures. Miss Helmreich is fond of poetry and especially enjoys the poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay, Emily Dickinson, and other modern poets. In addition to being girls' ad- viser she teaches Bible history. Ahove all, Miss Helmreich is truly interested in what we are and in what we hope to be. Y Page Seven

FORENSIC The Forensic club of this semester represents a line selection of boys. Fifteen students, who were eligible, passed the try-outs and were elected to the club this semester, bringing the total membership up to thirty-five, the limit. Oliicers of the club are as follows: President, Billy Lindquistg vice presi- dent, Roland Smithg treasurer, Lyman Long. The Forensic is beneficial to its members because it improves their speaking ability and creates a stronger bond of friendship among them. The business of this gathering of boys is to study and discuss current events. Mr. Wilson, who is adviser, expresses his sincere regrets at losing the senior members of the club.

At one of their meetings which are always interesting and versatile, they sponsored a Spring Style Show. The entire school was in- vited. Their other meetings have been equally de- lightful. The subject varies, of course, but it is generally on some phase of Home Economics. The members under the direction of Miss May and Miss Wetzstein entertain at a tea once a semester. These teas are charming social functions. The ollicers are La Verne Latta, president, Mary Ray- mond, vice president and program chairman, Gretchen Sandahl, secretaryg and Velma McGowan, treasurer.
