THE ARROW u .Foreword . Our Arrow Staff is confident that The Arrow has hit the mark. By that we mean The Arrow has over-reached our expectation, and has surely been a success. The cooperation of the students and teachers has aided in making our success possible. We wish to give our sincere thanks to the Principal, English classes, Science classes, and the Com- mercial department who have been good contri- butors to The Arrow. Thanks are also due to the students who have written articles for The Arrow not under compulsion, but we shall thank the teachers for the articles written under compulsion. Considerable help was given to us by- the Office, such as arranging honor rolls, and the Principa1's very instructive editorials. Special praise is given by the Literary depart- ment to the people who have written such appropriate poems and to those who have contri- buted stories for our paper. ' If it had not been for the cooperation of these mentioned above, We would have missed the mark and our Arrow would not have been a success.. We take this opportunity at the close of the year of thanking each of you again, and soliciting your further cooperation when the new year sha.ll open in the fall. THE EDITORS . .

4 U THE ARROW EASTERN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL History of E. J. H. The Eastern Junior High School was the first Junior high in Pontiac. The bond issue was voted on November 1, 1923. On April 28, 1924, the plans were put before the Board, approved and adopted. Excavating for the new building was begun in the latter part of May, 1924. p In September, 1925 the school was opened. Pupils swarmed in from everywhere it seemed. There were ,papers on the bulletin board telling each pupil what room and what teacher he or she was to have. By ten o'clock things were quite settled. Indeed, much more so than anyone had expected. , Oh boy! look at the elevator, 3'Look at the swell drinking fountain, Yes but just look at these lockers would ya, etc. These were the wild crys heard the Hrst morning and who could blame them. ' Most of these people had been usai to a two-by-four desk for books and had then come up here to these spacious lockers. The people who came from Grove School thought it good to have a place to put their books as well as hat and coat. -
