SCI-IGCDL Thirty-seven years ago, on Jan. 18, 1910, Miss May Goodrell, then principal of East High School, put down the first trowel full of cement on the corner stone of our most beau- tiful and inspiring building, thus dedicating it to its future students and foculties. Since then, we of East today, and those before, have accepted the challenge set forth by the class of 1910, It has been a real challenge, but we had no choice but to work to our optimum in carrying on the great spirit and tradition laid down for us by others who helped to give our school its unique status. We could do no lessl The spirit shown by that class of 1910 as they moved from the old East High, piece by piece, to the one we know today has not been lessened for one minute since then. Instead, the famed East High spirit has grown and shall con- tinue to grow as long as there is an East High. The bulging walls ot the auditorium as the students and faculty together cheer and yell for the football team to the time of the cheerleaders and band are illustrative in them- selves ofthe great spir- i t a n d co-operation which has made East High so conspicuous J ' mwliiilg IN among a l l o t h e r fs r . r www ' schools. A if 5 East does not flinch under strong competi- tion-this has been proved time ond again in the fine sportsman- ship so characteristic of Lee Township, ln- stead, it has been urg- ed on and on to fight hard in order to deserve the great honors which have been bestowed upon it through the years. .-3..
