Miss Agnes Helmreich, Girls ' Advisor ' THROUGH THE PLANNING and guidance of our cap- able girls ' advisor, Miss Helmreich, East High students em ' oy a varied and entertaining social program. The Lee Zur Hours, All-Club Parties, All-School Parties, and the Senior Parties are directed by Miss Helmreich with the cooperation of the committees assisting in the manage- ment of these social events. At the Senior All-Club Party held April 4 eleven clubs participated in the program presented in the auditorium. A mixer preceded the program and dancing followed. Every other week Lee Zur Hours are held in the gym with music by the Dance Band. An All-School Party held March 14 featured a magician. Saint Patrick ' s day was the theme carried out in the dance that followed. Miss Helmreich seems always to have a new idea for a different type of party or a solution to a program problem. Students seeking the advice of Miss Helmreich find in her the desired answers because her many hours of thought and planning have made her the capable social leader she is.

WE WATCH our athletic teams carry on the fine traditions of sportsmanship and showmanship, in com- petition each year, we fail to realize the many necessary tasks carried on behind the scenes. Aside from the coaching of the teams, there is the big job of managing them. This job is in the able hands of Mr. D. Q. Williams, vice principal and boys ' advisor at East. Mr. Williams arranges the schedules of our basketball, football, and track teams, as well as those of the many other sports. He picks the finest and toughest teams in the state for our athletes to compete against. The sched- ules are made nearly a year in advance to assure contests with certain schools. Another phase of the athletic manager job is that of arranging transportation for teams traveling to other cities to participate in out of town games. Mr. Williams charters a special bus to carry athletes and coaches to these games. This year our teams have traveled many miles to and from out of town contests. Mr. I). Q. Williams, Vice-Principal

Office HpHE OFFICE FORCE at East, headed by Miss Alma Hammer, registrar, and Miss Sybil Burt, secretary, is a very important part of East High School. All school business is taken care of through the office. The school ' s correspond- ence is handled by Miss Burt under the direction of Mr. Prichard and Mr. Williams. Miss Ham- mer handles the school finances. The students ' records are kept carefully filed in the office filing system. A complete record can be found of every student who ever attended East as well as those of present students. These records include all personal information about the student, his parents, and grades from Junior High to Senior High. By looking at student files it is possible to locate any one of the two thou- sand students now in attendance at East in a matter of minutes. After graduation the files aid in placing former students in positions. A potential employer can find the type of student he wishes to employ by looking at the student ' s record of subjects, grades and activities during high school. A weekly bulletin is issued by the office each Monday and read in all home rooms. This bulle- tin contains the schedule for all school activities throughout the coming week. Any important announcements that are missed on this Monday bulletin are sent by special messenger to all classes. Mrs. Alice Clark Miss Alma Hammer Miss Sybil Burt Nurse Registrar Secretary
