MUSIC MAKERS On entering East High School Stan and Sally found that the musical opportunities were very numerous for the person who had ability and wished to try. Stan was interested in in- strumental music so when he found out that East High had an orchestra as well as a band, he decided to look over the merits of each. After consideration, he decided on the band and following a good deal of practice, he was made a member of not only the pep band but also the marching organization. Sally loved to sing so she tried out for the girls' glee club. On learning of her success in her attempt to become a member of the club, Sally was delighted and decided to work hard to make a go of her vocal education. She progressed well in the glee club and soon she was chosen to become a member of the girls' sextet. Assemblies, extravaganzas, and other various programs gave Sally and the other boy and girl singers the valuable experience of performing before audiences. Not only does the music student gain actual experience and an opportunity for fine instruction but he also has the opportunity to meet new people and to have many good times while entertaining others. CON CENTBATION CAMP Almost everyone is familiar with the study hall, for no matter what course you may be pursuing, this is one class in which you will probably at one time or another be enrolled. The study hall is provided for the purpose of lessening the home work burden of the strug- gling student. The hour is given as free study time in which the pupil may do any studying he wishes as long as he does so in an orderly, quiet fashion. This oftentimes serves as an answer to a pupil's prayer, for it saves the energy of carrying books home. The study hall would indeed be a great advantage if the pupil would only make good use of his time. dll 'Q we AT .Aim new l it EAT HOUSE At the sound of the chimes, we shall now have ration identification. Many a student has scrambled through his lunch. Sally and Stan Grad experienced these mad rushes for three long years and never once did they regret having been part of it. Although they didn't take all the time they were given for lunch, they did take time enough to thrash out the news of the day. And this is certainly the ideal spot to get the latest gossip. Everyone considers the lunchroom a lifesaver in more ways than one: Dates are discussed: plans made for new ones: last minute cram- ming for next period testsiand-oh, yes, they do eat their lunch.

-l-lie C3OI'TlI'TlGl'ClCl G Cll'lITlSI'll SPEEDSTERS Sally Grad took full advan- tage of East High's Sl7,000 Worth of stenographic equip- ment by taking five semesters of typing and four semesters of shorthand. In her advanced semester she learned to operate the dictaphone and mimeo- graph machines. Filing, carbon copying, and stencil cutting have become quite common to her. Because Stan was inter- ested in typing for his personal use, he took only two semes- ters, the maximum typing course without shorthand. Nearly all the lune graduates of East High who completed the five semester typing course are now regularly employed in some business concern. East High has 597 typists and 291 shorthand students. BIG BUSINESS The commercial department in- cludes several subjects which pre- pare the student for a business career. English and history are not the only esential requirements in obtaining a position. In a World that is tending to specialize in everything Stan and Sally plan to be prepared for at least one line of work upon graduation. Salesmanship teaches the fundamen' tals of selling and approaching peo- ple. Merchandising takes care ot the retail end of selling. Although many take bookkeeping merely as a foun- dation for college, Stan was able to prepare himself for a position in this field. The adding, calculator, and electric adding machines in the more advanced bookkeeping are steps toward a position in themselves. A Working knowledge of the commercial World is given through commercial geography, the study of our nation, of other nations, and of the Ways man has put nature's forces to his use: com- mercial law, which instructs one on business contracts: and commercial arithmetic, polishing upon previously learned principles. is ,C C ,J I J 1 J l J l ,I l ,I Q .2 C 1 'i 1 'G .1 C C 'i 1 1 w L Q 4 'I 1 1 1 4. u 1 L Q w J. 1 ,- J- - - 1 .2 Q .Q w Q -Q .4 4 .4 -1 .Q 'E .- - ..- - v-Q 1- v -:- -Q xg
