X Honor Roll Misha Elmao Emlle Ftienne James Gelke Joseph Buckwald 'Thor Oak Gertrude Theil xi ' Leo Deeken Charlotte Bold Vito Aieta Bernice Shlnkle Honor Roll As in previous years the faculty of East Night has selected a group of students of the graduating class who, they believe, deserve special mention for their attainments in scholarship, general ability, and attendance. We feel confident that thosewho are listed on this honor roll will have a bright future and a successfulca- reer if their present efforts are continued. We, the Rostrum Staff, offer con- gratulations and feel certain that these honors bestowed upon you have been well earned. FACULTH To the Faculty Five years have passed since we en- tered East Night's portals. When we came into our classrooms for the first time, each one of us looked askance at the instructor and mur- mured, UI wonder how well I'll get along with this one.H But now, as we stand before you,and as we enter other spheres ofaction, we know that the time we have spent was very beneficial to us in every way. We are not unmindful of your untiring efforts and.your4desire for us to better our minds. It is not Within our ability to ren- der a fitting eulogy to you, our faculty. To all of you we owe more than we can express in words. We shall always look back with grati- tude to the days when we first met you, Faculty of EAST NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL, The Senior class bids you a fond adieu. From the Faculty The year is ended. Vacation time has come. Students and faculty a- like look forward to summer even- ings spent with family and friends, or in some gay excursion. As we part, your faculty leaves this thought with you: Keep well-trimmed and bright the lamp of ambition and courage which made ymifirst seek to come to Night School. Some four thousand years ago,a young man named Jacob dreamed one night of a ladder which reachedfromearth unto the very gates of heaven. East Nighters are dreamers too. Before you there stretches the broad,steep steps to a castle in the sky,a cas- tle which is a vision of the man or woman each of you would be. You've faced the image in the mirror, were not content with what you saw, and then and there resolved to become indeed the person of your dreams. Don't stop dreaming, East Nighters. As you mount each step of your own ladder, you will find that then you have a new perspective and from its vantage a new vista of steps beyond the one you had thought the top- most round. Dream onl And as each tomorrow becomes today, let those dreams harden into sturdy reality. F. R. Roebuck, Ass't. Principal H. E. Inskeep, Principal To the Class of 1940, Back in the year eighteen hundred and forty, young people went to night school in Cincinnati for the first time. we smile at the statement that each pupil must furnish his own candles. How lim- ited were the opportunities of that day in contrast with yours of today. Albert Einstein has a message for you in these words, UA hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends mithe labors of other men,living and dead,and that I must ex- ert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and mnreceiv- ing. Upon the successful completion of your course of study as prescribed by East Night High School, we feel that the achievement o this honor amply repays the sacrifices made by those w o are 1n- terested in your welfare. Whether you now enter uponyour life work or go to some higher insti ution of learning, we want you to feel free to call upon us for any further service we may be able to render. Our interest in you does not end with your graduation, but rather follows you during the coming years. Ymn'achieve- ments will be an inspiration to us for further service in our work.

How often, with the close of day, Some easier task your hearts would swayg And many times the efforts made Seemed scarcely worth the highest grade. With days of toil and fervent hope, You've learned with life's hard tasks to cope, By sacrificing other joys, You're better girls and better boys. And now you stand on par with men, Possessors of a priceless gem, A fortune made by honest game, A gateway to the hall of fame, A passport to wide fields, and new, A brighter day, a broader view. You're passing on with honors bright, And armed with weapons for the fight, With hands outstretched and wishes true, Good-bye, HA Gradersn, good luck to you. Elizabeth A.

We feel that each one of us has work to do in demon- strating the spirit of patriotism that is within us. Reconstruction is still going on all over the world. Much, indeed, needs to be reconstructed,much to be des- troyed. We can all have a part in it, women as well as men - girls as well as boys. Whatever helpsto make the nation better and noblerg what- ever serves to elevate the people of the land to any higher plane of thought and lifeg whatever, in any way makes America better worth the living in, is helping in the great work of present day reconstruction. We know, of course, that we are not bound to make the earth go right,but we are sure that if we each realize our best possibilities,we shall have done our share. We expect great things of ourselves and we hope that you, too, may ex- pect great things of us, and shall not be disappointed. Ray Deal,President X Senior Farewell It seems strange that We should use the word, nCommencement,H to desig- nate the day which ends the high school work we have carried on for so many happy yearsg NCompletion,n might seem to be a more ppropriate term. But that would nit be life for in this world every thing that makes an end,also makes a beginning. The end of our school work merely means the commencement of those ex- periences which will put to the test the principles we have learned. To us has been given freely that which great men of the past have obtained only with many sacrifices and much labor. This day of farewell means differ- ent things to each of us. To some it is the commencement ofhigher ed- ucation workg to others it is the beginning of business life or home cares.

We, the Jun- iors,are proud to take over Umahelm from the leaders of the preceding voyage. We have sailed the rough seas with success. Through trying moments of hardships and storm, we have over- come many obstacles to reach our goal. Though our trials have been great, our efforts have been great- er,and greatest of all has been the progress we have made. We Juniors with mingled feelings of envy and regret, bid a hearty fare- well to the Seniors who leave our good ship, East Night High, at this port. We now must assume the great responsibility of guiding that ship through another year of happiness and sorrow, victories and defeats. With the spirit of enthusiasm and diligence that has characterizedcur past efforts, we are confident that we shall be able to steerzastraight course to our final port. Farewell, Seniors!

The Junior Class We, the Junior Class of 1940, have long anticipated the be- ginning of our Senior year. Now that the time is actually here, we question whether our feeling is one of elation or regret. Surely it is gratifying to realize that thelast corner to be turned can now be seen in the distance. But it is also with sincere regret that we near the close of a time which has been filled with pleasure. During the Senior year we shall play a prominent role. Our attitude must be one of sincere gratitude to those who have borne our problems along with us. Louise R. Cornn Memories It seems 'twas only yesterday That I, in care free hours, Roamed with my friends throughout the day Amid yon silvan bowers. O Time, why hast thou fled so soon, And with thee those whom we Most fondly cherish in our hearts Of all humanity? These friends are scattered far and wide, North, south, and east and west, And some, perhaps, the other side Now holds in peaceful rest. But memory, that ne'er can be By Thme's strong hand effaced, Has brought them back from distant lands, And in our presence placed. For once again before us stand Our teachers, classmates, friends, Whose lives and precepts gave us zeal To strive for nobler ends. Though visions fade and fond dreams pass, And fate thrust friends apart, The memories that cling to them Can never leave the heart.

Pre-Juniors and Sophomores We, pre-juniors and sophomores, soon to be juniors, have en- joyed our two years at East Night. The curriculum is so va- ried that one can find many interesting studies to fill his schedule. Too, the numerous clubs here at school offer us pleasant associations and informal information on a great number of subjects. We feel that our first two years have been well spent,and we hope, by expanding all our efforts, to complete our high school course here at East Night. Louise A.

Freshmen That first night! Shall we ever forget it? We were indeed proud to be here even though we felt strange and ratherawed. Now, however, after one year in the spacious rooms at East Night we feel more than welcome, thanks to the cordialty of the upper classmen. Our first year not only holds memories of work but also mem- ories of the many pleasures the school had given us. The dances,auditorium sessions, basketball games, and boat rides kept us interested in the social life as well as the academic. During the year our teachers were very kind and sympathetic, they listened to our tales of woe and gave us a helping hand whenever possible. Now that the year has ended, we are eagerly anticipating our sophomore year when we hope to greet new friends as well as our old ones. We know we shall always cherish the memory of our freshman year.

Post Graduates Why do those who have already completed the regular high school course of study return to high school? That is a question that many ask. The answer lies in the fact that many post graduates feel th t ' a they received their diplomas before they had completed the course of study upon which they had set their hearts. It is a tribute to the post graduate that his individual re- quirements for a high school education are higher than those prescribed by the best high schools in the country. It is a tribute to his insight that he sees the extensiveness of the demands of modern life on the individual. The post graduate is grateful for the opportunity to use the facilities afEast Night for the continuation of his education.

Americanization Class Americanization classes are held for the newcomers to the United States from all nations for the purpose of teaching them English and the principles of democracy. In the past year foreigners from no less than twelve nations have come to East Night High School anxious to learn English and American History. These people realize that it is important for their own progress to master the language and to become familiar with our standards. The United States is not yet a Utopia - but all true citizens believe that our constitution is the finest conceivable foundation on which a nation can belnnlt. By recognizing our short-comings we can correct them and work toward the ideal. In return for the home we offer the for- eigner, he is taught to feel his responsibility to the gov- ernment by contributing serious thought and a helpful spirit toward the American problems. No one who has ever so much as even peeped into an American- ization class can help feeling that the spirit of'the melting pot is one of democratic hope and promise.

Elementary Class The purpose of the Eighth Grade Class of East Night is to help those who for some reason or another were unableto fin- ish their elementary work and prepare for high school. Each of the forty-five members enrolled in this class has a very definite aim in attending. Two foremen of a large con- struction company see the need of a better education. Tohold their jobs they must become more efficient and better able to direct the men under their charge. A bookkeeper with a well known firm has a better chance to advance by acquiring more knowledge. Several skilled workmen active in Union work find they need a better background to become leaders. Three women in the class plan to take up special workzthatrequires the completion of eighth grade work. Certainly the ambition which has spurred these people to im- prove themselves and their communities will bring them suc- cess and much happiness. Mrs. Catherine G.

Advanced Civics and Mechanical Drawing Drawing as it is today,is the language of indumtry expressed It explains what hundreds and sometimes thousands of words could not. It enables one to visualize the objects in ques- tion. As we look back to the beginning of the school year of 1959 we, students of Room 115, have many happy memories. When en- tering we found the teacher,Mr. Evan Travis, willing to lend a hand to all of us. Lillard Pennington, who is employed by a can manufacturer is striving to better his position. Har- old Abraham, nthe artistn, as the others call him, is plan- ning to study com ercial art next year. Albert Sticksel, the radio man, is improving his knowledge of the making of blue prints. James Bordicks and Theodore Roush, machine shop em- ployees, are planning some day to be draftsmen for that in- dustry. Frank Giese is striving to be a designer in the clothing field.

In September we transferred desire into action. East Night offered us the scene for this transfer. Now, after what seems like a very short period of time we are well on our way to acquiring typing skill. We have all but forgotten the fright with which we were seized when we first were confronted with our typewriters. Even now we feel we are quite handy with those machines, but next year we hope to continue our efforts in Typing II. The Glass FRONT ROW: Ellanora Koeniger, Sylvia Simon, Ruth Jane Brollier, J.

Typlng II In second year typing it was our aim to increase our typing power and to improve our knowledge of various business forms and lettersl The class was made up of business-like young men and women. Many of the group hoped to become stenographers and secreta- ries,while others were interested in typing for personal use. Much of the typing for the Rostrum was donein this class un- der the direction of our instructor, Mr. Nelson. Dorothy Welsh,a member of the class, was on the staff of the Rostrum and took an active part in its development. Our class took part in many school functions, such as Girl's Basketball, Science Club, and Night Owls Club.

Typing I In spite of the fact that our class was organized late we saw our ability to type develop rapidly. Through the less inter- esting early drills we persisted and were rewarded by the pleasure of doing work in paragraph form and later in busi- ness letters. We feel that we now have acquired a definite and tangible thing as a result of our efforts. Next year we will try to finish the job by entering Typing II.

Typing II Typing II is arranged to make it possible forfirst year typ- ing pupils to pursue that elusive and sometimes difficult-to- attain standard of office speed and accuracy. It is organ- ized to enable the typist to increase his knowledge of the form and content of typical business letters and other busi- ness papers. During the year many of our class took part in the general activities of the school. They participated in Boys and Girls Basketball, Science Club, Hilarity Club, Forum Club. B. E. N., Night Owls, and other organizations. East Night Life commented on the beauty of our girls. The male contingent spoke for itself. We won a cocoanut for lOOZ subscription to the Rostrum.

Almost any evening when you pass through the hall you can hear them speaking this interesting language. Some evenings it may seem very quiet, but you will not find the Spanish students napping. Although they are not making as much noise as usual they are still very busy people. If you should take a good look into the room you would find them deep in study, prob- ably learning a new phase of this fascinating language. If you were to open the door and come in for a while, you would find that every one of the students enjoys learning Spanish from his enthusiastic teacher. FRONT RUN: Sullivan, James Roley.

Everyone is interested in this subject as it has a peculiar but fascinating habit of repeating itself. In September, therefore,we decided to learn more about history. And as it is natural to start at the beginning, we enrolled in Early European History. In our studies we were made welcome in the primitive homes of the cave man. We traveled through the Dark Ages and were not too sorry to leave the tragedies of Feudalism the Renaissance. We were present when the Magna wrested from the unwilling hands of King John, and nessed the development of western Europe into the civilized nations of today. and reach Carta was we wit- so-called Perhaps, too, the eventful happenings in Europe during the course of the past year in which our instructor proved to be well versed, served to make the subject more appealing and more enjoyable.

That means that each student before he graduates from high school must atleast be exposed to it. Educators feel that all future citizens ofthe United States should have some knowledge of the settlement and growth of their nation. This knowledge helps tolnake bet- ter citizens, and gives a background that will aid our stu- dents to understand the present day conditions of their land and government. Of the starting class in American History, thirty-six were interested enough to complete the course. This group was very active in school functions, participating in clubs programs, buying and selling tickets and annuals, and supporting all school events. Under usual conditions it is difficult tofind students to assume responsibilities,but leaders wereso plen- tiful in our room that wehad to divideiim duties among them. The American History Class of 507 was a very congenial group to work with, very good in attendance, attentive, and above the average in intelligence, and it is with real regret that I view the closing of the first semester, for it means the disbanding of our history class.

English II We were thirty in Room 510: Fourteen handsome fellows and sixteen pretty girls. Although 'twas ordered we must study English,we settled all the world's affairs, Sometimes it was the etiquette aboard an old green bus, Sometimes the merits of a state affair in high Tibet. Friendly, laughing Delmonico, and bashful Amos Woods, Had argument unending: while Sanders was inclined to wax poetic. Yet given on occasion to debate with politician, Wiley Wood and Zillich, Or clear and lucid thinker Carroll, Effie Casida and Florence Philhower all the while, Up and learned their English - imagine thatl Geraldine Watson and Selma Yentsch had a race to see, Which one could the quietest beg but they were both out-stripped. By Al Albright and Frank Barnett, Rex Reeves was known for witty rejoinder. And Leamon Foster, the class Don Juan, had clever come-back if he were cornered. Two pretty dark-haired girls were the Nussbaum-Bilotta team, With them we'd group Loretta Brueggeman, a regular Juliet. And Fatima Brown, all three so Winsome, fair, and intelligent too It wasn't merely sales talk, but more the lovely smile of Isabel Giordanog That put us at the top in all the school's endeavors. Wayman and Parker's sound business acumen were balance, when needed, To Agnes Kasselman's artistic sense, and Louise Schott's calm woman's wisdom. Garrett and Waller, our handsome athletes, upheld old Alma Mater's honorg While Fitshue kept his ideas so within control, that he, with Viola Smith and Beulah Martin made the old Sphinx seem chatty by comparison! Blonde Curl Hoelsle kept the rear guard all in order, While Larry Brueggen and Irene Young just visited class upon occasions, And Mrs. Flynt, our teacher, just made us prefer to speak the Queen's own English Although sometimes - now don't tell her - we lapsed - into good Qld gutter slang!

Business Arithmetic and Advanced Mathematics Most persons who have completed elementary school would be offended if they were told they could not add, multiply, di- vide, or subtract efficiently. Yet, we hear continued crib icism from the business world about the ability of the new employee to do just that. Whether the criticism is justified or not Business Arithmetic is designed to meet the needs of those who are keen enough to see the important role thatsim- ple arithmetic calculations play in the business world. However,our work was not confined to a study of short cuts . We were interested in problems involving discounts, interest and the like. Business Arithmetic was a source of valuable information.

English III Every Monday and Wednesday evening the social leaders ofour school cross the threshold of 519. This room claims not only the presidents of two of East Night's organizations, the Bowlers and the Science Club, but also officers and members of all East Night Clubs. This is no ordinary classroom for we are here not only for credit but to en- joy the beauty and wisdom of the masters of English literature. We discuss many classics. These are truly literary gems which we would pass by in our daily reading if they were not called to our attention. We may as well con- fess that some of these writings are hard to understand if read alone but with discussion and help we are able to interpret their meaning. We of 319 have learned the secret of successful school life which is to at- tend regularly, not because we are obliged to,but because we find our skill in the use of English moves rapidly ahead when we keep up with the class work. To make the most of our opportunities and to handle situations compe- tently it is imperative that we have a command of words and understand their correct usage. Not a small amount of the success of our room in literary accomplishmentand school spirit is due to one hundred per cent cooperation which is always forthcoming as witnessed by our annual subscriptions and ticket selling.

Bookkeeping I The first year Bookkeeping Class of 1959-40 was mnexception- al group. They were eager to learn Bookkeeping, master the imperative accuracy required,and understand the need of hon- esty in keeping records according to our State and Federal Laws. Without an exception they worked hard and all possess- ed a will to stay with a task until it was successfully com- pleted. Many will continue their Bookkeeping studies in ad- vanced work.

English IV English is one of the most practical subjects taught in our school. But, unfortunately, many seem to be satisfied with their knowledge of English, if only through it, however crudely, they can make themselves understood. Not infre- quently thoughts fade from consciousness because through poverty of language, they fail to rise to the level of ex- pression. But, on the other hand, we have all seen the val- ue of a ready command of language. The success of a business transaction frequently depends on the clarity and directness of the speech of the negotiators. Advertising depends main- ly upon skill in the use of language. In our social contacts, we are adjudged cultured or crude according to our speech. Leadership in any field is impossible for one deficient in the use of his mother tongue. Correct use of English depends mainly on close study. Eng- lish IV offers an excellent opportunity of acquiring the fundamentals of English speech, both oral and written. Every student should make the most of this opportunity, for a pro- ficiency in the use of language develops personality and greatly enriches life. T. K. F. Burns FRONT RON: Mabel B.

Bookkeeping -- Accounting Bookkeeping II, Cost Accounting,and Banking are the subjects taught in Room 524. Individual instruction as Well as class work is giveng thus any member of the class may progress as rapidly as he completes the required work. The interest of the class is shown by the number who, having completed Bookkeeping II, have started to work on the Cost Accounting, which constitutes Bookkeeping III. Instruction in Banking which is not required,is provided for those students who have finished the Cost Accounting. Each year a number avail themselves of this opportunity. A person interested in an accounting or clerical career need look no further, because he will find at East Night all the assistance and guidance he could wish.

English I Our first year in English has passed quickly, and with it many incidents that will always be cherished in fondest mem- ory. While we all have diversified interests, we are united in a common ambition and desire for achievement. Our class has read and discussed numerous short stories of merit and inspiration. We have delved into Greek mythology with its fascinating lore, and gained an appreciation of the vastness of the country through the study of Longfellow's classic, nEvangeline.n Our spelling bees and grammar drills have been lots of fun. We have been absorbing knowledge without realizing it, and the bell has always rung too soon. It has been a very pleasant association,which we,as a class, have enjoyed. Julia M.

Forum Club --1939-1940 nFriends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend us your ears. I've come to revive East Night School Spirit, not to bury it.U Those are the words that formally introduced the Forum Club to the School in an auditorium ses- sion last 0ctober,and they must have been impressive, for the club has grown to be the largest at East Night. But, of course, this growth was quite natural for our club has an ob- ject -- to make better speakers of its members. The meetings were en- tertaining and covered a variety of interests. At several meetings mem- bers spoke on topics of their own choice. At others, grab-bag topics were used, open forum discussions held, and, on one occasion, a debate on the resolution - nThe United States Government should own and oper- ate the railroadsn, proved very interesting. Mr. Wm. Steckel, of the University of Cincinnati, made one of the evenings memorable when he spoke on the subject nD1plomacy of Aggression.n Aside from the business and serious pursuits of our club there were al- ways the pleasantries of social life - those chatting groups before and after the meetings, and those tunes enjoyed around the piano, perhaps not so harmonious but replete with fun. And, speaking of fun, it cer- tainly was abundant at our Fall Frolic and the Christmas Party. We thank you, Mr. Pack, for your interest and skillful supervision which made the Forum Club possible.

On Tuesday of the second week of school, the teachers read the following announcement: nThe first meeting of the East Niglmt Owls will be held in Room 307, tonight at 9:45. All students interested are in- vited . For this first meeting a group of about twenty students gathered in Room 507. However, as the season progressed new members were accepted into the club until we finally boasted a membership of forty students. At this meeting it was clear- ly stated that the purpose of the club was to boost all of the activitiesof East Night High School,and to furnish several special events for the enjoyment of the club members. At the second meeting we had our election of officers with the result that Nick Weber was elected president, Ada Siegl, vice-president, Nettie Reeves,Secretaryg Frank DeGrasse, treasurer, and Joe Horsley, publicity agent. Due to circumstances beyond his control Frank DeGrasse was forced to resign as treasurer and theclub elected Dorothy Brewer to that position. Throughout the school year the club has been giving active support to all East Night events, and to date has given four special events for the benefit of its members. The first was an all day trip to Clifty Falls. A group of about twenty- five made this excursion. After arriving at the Indiana State park we took a ten mile hike, including an exciting investigation of a half-mile tunnel. Everyone returned foot weary and happy,feeling that the day had been well spent. The sec- ond event was a swimming party, held at the Friars Club. About twenty members attended, and a splashing good time was had by all. On April 6 the Owls gave a mystery hike to nDevils Backbonen at the termination of which was a big bonfire with a nground shown by clever Indian Dancers. The final event on the Night Owl calendar was an all day boat ride aboard the Island Queen to Split Rock, Kentucky. This took place on April 24 and was a huge suc- cess. The Owls have enjoyed a highly progressive season, and wish to thank all those friends and members of the club who have helped to make it so.

East Night Life by Publishing East Night Life this year was fun -- every minute of it. But what a scramble, what a rush when we went to press! There were petite Ada Siegl's reporters dashing into Room 510 with the latest news --- sometimes a brand new love affair, sometimes a teacher caught off guard,sometimes ajoke too good to keep. And Ursula Lampe -- did you ever see her without a fistful of sketches? Her Old Man Snoopy's nosejust grew and grew, and the gay wit of her pictures was the high light in the paper. But wherever you found Ursula,Dot Brewer was close behind. She was the girl that put it allinto print, swiftly grabbing each page when the ink of the faculty O. K. was scarcely dry, and then presto - 'twas over and done. We are proud of Volume V of East Night Life. Laughter, good natured ribbing , serious discussion,pathos, told in story, essay and poem -- it was a mirror we held full length sand broad, wherein we caught the swiftly passing life of owir school, East Night.

It is a club for those who are active, for those who want to participate in sports rather than observe them, and for those who are seeking genuine fellowship and recreation. And it is the one club that even at- tracts those of the fairer sex who like sports. At the outset the members insisted that a league be formed. This was the incentive needed for attendance. This year has been the best for the last few seasons. Much to their credit, members at- tended each game and gave their whole hearted support. There were six teams of five members each in the boys'league. Unfortunately the girls did not have a league and bowled for the sport in it. At this writing it is impossible to say who will win the race as the contest is so close. Congratulations are in order for Georgelmittwmo helped to make this a most successful season. His efforts were so great that it is hardly likely the league could have functioned without his aid. George kept the scores, and he introduced an idea which might prove successful in ensuing years. He edited a little broadside with the individual averages, team scores and common gossip. It was an excellent job that George did. Connie Robinson was the president of the organization.

It is one of the most popular of all clubs at East Night, the conversation and all comments being made entirely in Spanish. This gives the members an excel- lent chance to put into practice what they have been doingin the classrooms.

Only fifteen students of the Senior and Junior class are elected for membership each year. They are selected bywaFac- ulty Advisor Board appointed by the Principal of East Night School. Each member receives a certificate, a constitution and, in time, a gold key with East Night's emblem. To those new members who were chosen this year may we, the older members, offer congratulations. You have contributed largely to the success ofthe school both socially andintel- lectually. You have accomplished a difficult task and have helped make Beta Eta Nu a vital part of life at East Night. We are proud to accept you as members of the honorary fratmw nity which stands for honest endeavor by each individual stu- dent. Beta Eta Nu is the ultimate reward for your endeavor.

Camera Club The shutterbugs of East Night lost no time in getting to- gether and forming a Camera Club. A number of meetings was held and speakers told all we didn't know about pictures. Mr.Kock, photography instructor at the University of Cincin- nati,was taking some work at East Night so we elected him president. Some picture hikes and a contest rounded out the year. Most of the pictures of East Night activities which you see in the Rostrum are the work of the club, and especially of one member, Mr. Fred Catiller. Mr. Batterson acted as sponsor for the club.

Al- though we had only three members of last year's squad, namely,John Wal- ler,Charles Dinsmore and Elmer Frnz back with us this year,the addition of such new men as Robert Garrett, Ozell Pigler, Louis Koshover, Louis Stange, Paul Rieger, Edward Weise, Nicholas Weber, Frank Madama, David Einhorn,and William Mashmeir,helped to round out a well balanced team. The spirit of the teamwas very good, and although we did lose some games to such excellent teams as the Uni- versity of Cincinnati Freshmen and the Ninth Street Baptists, our boys were not discouraged,and nogame was lost until that final whistle blew. Albert Schaeffer was appointed man- ager,but due to unavoidable circum- stances was forced to resign, and for the remainder of the season his duties were carried outby the team. This year as in former years, we were assisted by John Ross,a former graduate, who devotes much of his time to the activities of his old Alma Mater. The team wishes to take this opportunity to thank the night janitors of East Night High School for their cooperation, and the ad- ministrative branch of our school, Mr. Inskeep and Mr. Roebuck,for the encouragement and assistance they have given the team.

It involves the ex- penditure of many hours of valuable time that those attend- ing night high school could handily spend otherwise. Yet there are many compensations for these efforts. We treasure the new friendships gained, the feeling of satisfaction that comes through having made a contribution to our school life at East Night, and the hearty student support accorded this, the l94O Rostrum.

Rostrum Circulation Enthusiasm, optimism, courage, tenacity, and industry are personal characteristics required for successful selling. When the Rostrum Circulation Committee first met,it became apparent that there were good salesmen present in abundance. Results indicate that the first observation was right. Each member sold annuals with the assurance that he had a product that was worthwhile and each was overjoyed with therecepdpn accorded him by his ncustomersn. The Rostrum Circulation Committee is deeply grateful for the extensive student and faculty support given to the l94O annual. GeorgeWhitt,our manager, conceived the idea of setting up a prize for each home room representative whose subscriptions equalled the number in his home room. Three of our committee won the coveted oocoanut offered as the prize.
