Now that the first half of the school year is ended, let us all make up our ‘ have the coming semester one 1 the history of Eastern No doubt the general ol work has been minds to of the best ir High School. character of our scho fairly good during the p no matter what it has been let each in- dividual decide to work just a little bit harder than he has before. If we do this our work will be of a character which will surprise even our teachers. That we should do our best we owe to our school, and let each pupil do his or her best. Re- “Do well,” “Do bet- ast semester. But iwember our motto, ter,” “Do Best.” Dr. Small has said time and again in Assembly Hall that ones education is not complete unless one knows how to dance correctly. If you ask why there is but one answer. They have not had the chance to learn. We have a large drill hall here where the pupils could easily learn how to dance. No one knows any better than the pupils themselves why we have not been allowed to dance more often than me have. It seems to us that those few pupils who have been the cause of this lack of access to the drill hall might be willing to cut out the “rag- ging” for the sake of the other members of the school if not for their own sake. As long as this style of dancing con- tinues, Dr. Small will never allow us to dance, willingly. Therefore we, in be- half of the whole school. request that when we are given the drill hall, we show our appreciation by not “ragging.” Before another issue of THe East. PRNER appears, the base ball season will be on in earnest. In order that our team shall be successful, it is necessary that every one in the school give the team their hearty support. Those of the pupils who can not play, can show their school spirit by going to each game and cheering the team on to victory. We advise those of the students who are just entering school and any others who have not done so to join the athletic association at once and get their tickets for the baseball sea- son. We are going to have a winning team and every pupil in the school wants to hdp make it a success. So heres three rousing cheers for the base ball team. Through the efforts of some enterpris- ing boys in the school a track team has been started, which promises great suc- cess. About twenty-five boys appeared at the first call for candidates, and all these are now registered with the A. A. U. It has been decided that we will enter some men in the George Washing- ton Meet. Track work is work which will do more towards making a boy per- fect. physically, than any other branch of athletics. And now that we have a physical trainer for boys at the school who will in all probability superintend the track work, more of the boys should avail themselves of the opportunity to practice. You never know how fast you can run until you “try out.” Then let more of the boys join the squad and help make this branch of sport a success,
