All of these beautiful, charming, and poised young ladies that we now see in Eastern are products of the Personality Club. Advice is given to those interested regarding clothes, make-up, hair styling, and other valuable topics. Vlfho are those charming young ladies that pass in the hallways of Eastern? Mrs. Zucker-have you been injecting some of your charm into these handsome damsels? The rooms are shining with a new luster. The boys are putting on ties. Parties . . . teas . . . dances. We have watched a new order come into Eastern. We have Mrs. Zucker and the Personality Club to thank for it, we think. Each year there are stenography contests for advanced stenographers. The winners in these contests receive various awards. The purpose of the Secretarial Club is to prepare stu- dents for these contests. The mem- bers of the club, under the super- vision of Miss Solomon, have prac- tice sessions where they take dicta- tion at a very high rate of speed. This is the club for commercial students who are serious about stenography. You, too, probably intend to apply for a Civil Service job. It is to pre- pare pupils for Civil Service exam- inations that the Civil Service Club was formed. This club is under the auspices of Miss Alweiss and meets weekly. Interested? join the club next term. The N. Y. A. office staff is work- ing constantly in their drive to help out needy students. Students in need may apply and receive aid in the form of pay for small jobs in the school. Dr. Murray is the adviser of Eastern's N. Y. A.

FOREIGN QUARTER The Pan-American Club is one of the modern language clubs of E. D. Melodic Spanish songs are taught by Mr. Scarinzi at the meetings. The pupils get a knowledge of the cul- ture of Spain and Latin America. The pupils who are interested in La France attend the meetings of the French Club. Officers are elected since the club believes in the poli- cies of unoccupied Qnot occupiedj France. Enjoyable games are play- ed. French is spoken at meetings and is really very well understood. Wluen the meeting is over, easily understandable English is again spoken. Miss Smith is in charge. The camera shy German Club isn't here to be seen, but is very much appreciated, nevertheless. Un- der Miss Steinhoffs supervision, they are perpetuating understanding of a great culture. The Art-Weaving Club is the cen- ter for all those interested in fancy needlework. With instructions from Mrs. Lippman, the members of this club turn out beautiful hand made scarfs, luncheon sets, and anything else they desire. Many of the girls make entire sets for bedrooms or dining rooms. The Newman Club, headed by Miss Southee, holds its meetings on Tuesday every second week. It gives an opportunity for Catholic pupils to discuss their ideas, ideals, and aspir- ations.

WHITE-COLLAR WORKERS Where would the world be with- out the telephone? It would be in the same place that Easterntown would be without its Switchboard Staff advised by Miss Bannon and Miss McGuire. If our town is run- ning smoothly, then thanks should go first to the white-collar workers, the switchboard staff. MAIN OFFICE In Easterntown each one has certain duties to performg thus, we are able to be helpful and good citizens. In the Main Office we find a group of industrious people. Mrs. Goldhammer has her desk there, and she is at present kept occupied by the seniors QGod bless themj who are forever changing their minds about what college to attend. Dr. Sprague, the assistant principal, who is also situated in the Main office, has his hands full helping Mr. Mos- kowitz execute the laws of Eastern- town. Miss Bannon and Miss Mc- Guire are secretaries to Mr. Mosko- witz who has an adjoining office. There you can always see him hov- ering over some papers or records in an effort to make Easterntown a better place in which to live. GRADE ADVISERS There are six desks in the grade advisers, offices behind which sit six of the busiest people in the world- the grade advisers. There is never a dull moment. Students are always rushing down about either programs or marks. The eighth term grade adviser is usually the one who is most active. She has so many duties because her grade is graduating and there are many loose ends to be taken care of. Each grade adviser helps the students of her grade to secure the course for which they are
