Having endeared himself to students and teachers alike and having made himself not only an adviser and teacher but also a friend and companion to all those with whom he has come in contact, our principal, Mr XY ll Oliver, has chosen the following poem, Task, by Maude Louis Ray, as one of his favorites, appropriately, we think. since it expresses his genial attitude and humble purpose in daily existence and in life itself. To love someone more dearly ev'ry day, To help a wandring child to Find his way, To ponder o'er a noble thought, and pray, And smile when evening falls, This is my task, To follow truth as blind men long for light, To do my best from dawn of day 'till night, To keep my heart fit for His holy sight, And answer when He calls, This is my task.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Pictured in front of the pictures of the first two principals of East High who did so much to establish the ideals and traditions of the school are johnny Steinhauer, presi- dent of the Alumni Association, and johnnie Martin, secretary-treasurer. jane johnson, vice president, was absent when the picture was made. Under the direction of Mr. Keyes and lwlr. W. P. Fisher, first principals of East High, the Alumni Association was founded in order to bring about a closer relationship between the school and the former graduates of it. Of the 249-1 graduates of the school, today there are approximately I500 in service. When the service flag was dedicated in 1943 it had about 300 blue stars on it. Steadily more have been added, and 37 blue stars have been replaced by gold ones In October, 1944, students, teachers, and alumni of East and Father Ryan High Schools gathered at the annual homecoming game to witness a dedication ceremony at Keyes Stadium. Prior to the East-Ryan game, the service Flag was presented, and representatives of each school stepped forth to dedicate the game to alumni serving in the armed forces. Pictured during the services are Father Elliott of Ryan, Prin- cipal Vf. I-I. Oliver of East, and johnny Steinhauer, representing the East Alumni Association.
