MAJOR AND MAJCDRETTES The drum major and the majorettes add much to the appearance of our band. At football games they march ahead of the band where they attract a great deal of attention. Often, during the half, the majorettes furnish a large part of the performance, while the drum major leads the band in his colorful array. The bright gold uniform of Dick Strasburg marching in front of the gay red and white display of the majorettes forms a striking pic- ture, especially at the evening games when the bright lights give a dazzling effect. GIRLS' SEXTET East High can be proud to have these at- tractive girls in their record of sextets. This year at assemblies, parties and other activi- ties where entertainment was needed, the sextet easily filled the bill. A large number of East High girls try out for the girls' sextet at the beginning of each year. From this group, the six most capable girls are chosen by Miss Greenhill. Through- out the semester they continue to take part in many programs. Miss Greenhill is the ad- visor of this group and helps them a great deal in their singing.

WITI-l A Drums - trumpets - cymbals! These in- struments, along with many others, bring to our mind the band. East High can really be proud of the band this year as in the years before. lt is, as usual, one of the best in the city. The new uniforms are very striking. We have seen how attractive and impressive they are on the field at the football games, and at various times during our school se- mester. H. Strasburg, Granger, Boles, Marshall, Till, R. Strasburg, Kile BANJCD Our school does not give sufficient credit and attention to our orchestra. This organi- zation gives as much time and work as does any in the school. At the school play, the senior follies, and other outside entertainment connected with our school, the orchestra fur- nishes music. Although our orchestra is not very large, it does a good job. Mr. Borg is the trained director to whom we owe much of the success of the orchestra.

CLUB PRESIDENTS Our clubs are very important, and certainly the most well-known organizations in the school. They provide enjoyment for the stu- BOOSTER COMMITTEE One of the new organizations at East this year is the Booster Committee, The job of these people is to promote pep and good dents in many ways. The presidents of these clubs are needful to help organize and plan tor special events and to preside at every meeting. The quilting and husking bees of old tur- nished entertainment tor the pioneers. ln the same way our varied clubs help us to en- joy our studies more. The presidents do a fine job and we praise them for their accom- plishments. sportsmanship. Some examples of their duties are selling pom-poms, school pins, and ban- ners, decorating goal poles before the game, making signs for the halls, and giving pep talks. They also organize a group who come early to sit on the titty yard line, so as to have a more organized cheering section. This year the committee has done a splendid job.
