CWA-zmory GEORGE M. ELMGREEN November 23, 1934 Although George Elmgreen was not a student of East High at the time of his sudden death but a stu- dent of Wisconsin State College, his many friends here feel that he still belonged to this high school family. He entered East High as a seventh grader and for six years was an important part of many school activi- ties. Because of his interest in his fellow students and his smiling ways, he endeared himself to his many friends. George was killed in an automobile accident Oc- tober 19, 1954. His sudden death was not only a great loss to his family but also a great shock and loss to his many friends, The Wa Wa Ta Staff wishes to set aside this page in loving memory of a former East High student and friend. October 19, 1954

gg mmm. On the shores of Gitche Gumee, By the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stands Wabanong, our East High School Silhouetted in the sunlight, Shadowed in the shade of nighttime. Warmed by balmy summer breezes, Beat by whipped winds of winter. Yet it stands to serve its students. Stands so someday we may prosper. Here we come for learning, wisdom: Here we Come for education. Here are hearts so fresh and eager, Those with faith in God and goodness, For in even adolescence There are longings, yearnings, strivings. You who love a high schooI's legend, Love the story of young people, Listen to this East High legend, To this song of Wabanong.

.K . Mlss ERNESTINE SEYLER In Iune, 1954, when Miss Ernestine Seyler completed her years of service at East High School, the students and teachers felt they had lost one of their most valuable co- workers. During her many years at East she had the distinction of working with the largest number of students each year of any teacher. She came to East High School to teach English. Later, she became the adviser of the school news- paper staff and the school annual staff. At the time of her retirement she was the school librarian, the adviser of the Student Council, and the Dean of Girls. Through her friendliness, kindness, and wise counseling many students have had a happier school experience. Be- cause of these pleasant associations with Miss Seyler, she will be long remembered by a great many students. Mrs. Gudrun McCartan will leave East High School this lune after giving many years of very valuable service to the school. She has been a commercial teacher at East since the opening of this building. During her many years of service here, she has gained the reputation of preparing commercial students with an enviable achievement. Because of her thorough instruction and her high standard of accomplishment, graduates from East's commercial department have always been in great demand. With Mrs. McCartan, the instructor, these students have had daily before them an example of the standards she has taught them to achieve for a successful business career-her willingness to do more than her position re- quired, her deep sense of responsibility for any assignment, her pride in work well done, and her graciousness. The Wa Wa Ta staff wishes to dedicate its 1955 an- nual to Mrs. Gudrun McCartan and Miss Ernestine Seyler, two excellent teachers whom East has had the good fortune to enjoy, ' We say farewell to those who leave us Those who daily strove to serve us, Those who gave to us their knowledge, Gave us also of their wisdom. They no longer will be with us, No more will they give us guidance: Yet we never shall forget them Or the lessons they have taught us. All our doors stand open for them Open stand for those we cherish. is Mas. GuDnuN MCCARTAN
