Eastern Junior High School - Arrow Yearbook (Pontiac, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 62 of the 1930 volume:

Giastern unior ffhlgfz School ! O OUR SCHOOL SONG Let us raise our song of praise to Eastern Junior High. With courage staunch and spirit fine, the best of all its kind. Here's to teachers tried and true, And dear comrades here's to you! May We so live to honor give to Eastern Junior High. Chorus Eastern Junior High School! Eastern Junior High! Ever true to thee we'll be working day by day Loyal to thy colors, the Maroon and the Gray, Rah rah rah! Rah rah rah! Eastern Junior High. Mrs. Hogue and the Boys' Glee Club. PAGE 2 ......,f- .i.---1---JUNE 1930 Qledication TO OUR PARENTS: No one else knows us so well as you. No one else so generously overlooks our shortcom- ings, as you. N0 one else is so desirous of our success, as you. No one else is so eager to increase our opportuni- ties, as you. For these reasons, and others so many this volume could not contain them, The Arrow Editors, in behalf of the Students of Eastern Junior High, lovingly, and gratefully dedicate this number of The Arrow to- O UR PARENTS JUNE 1930..-..-.--- cgbe Superintendent of5cl1ools l vt l JAMES H. HARRIS Mr. Harris has been superintendent of Pontiac Schools for the past eleven years. He has been for many years very much interested in the Junior High School idea, and as a result of that interest, Eastern Junior High School was built five years ago. The building has had an addition since that time, the teach- ing force increased, new subjects introduced, all as a result of Mr. Harris' desire to give to the boys and girls of Pontiac the kind of school that will best fit them to be happy, useful, men and women. PAGE 3 PAGE 4+-k.++ -.!.-.-.-JUNE 1930 C556 Sprinczlbaf Says: Eastern should be proud of the achievements of her students, both past and present. The school year which we are complet- ing has been a most successful one for the students who have represented Eastern in school activities and contests. Results would indicate we have the right to use the slogan, We make students who make good . The majority of our students and student groups do things very well, a few do exceedingly well and thus stand out as superior. A resume of student achieve- ments for the year follows. In athletics, the boys produced an undefeated football team and a basket ball squad which took junior high school honors. The girls succeeded in taking city honors in Class C basket ball and 8 A kickball. Music has held a prominent place, our orchestra taking first place in the state contest in the junior high class. W.A.Hinshaw, a member of the orchestra, goes to the National High School or- chestra camp this summer. Glee clubs, both boys and girls, have represented Eastern many times and have contributed outstand- ing service. The Harmonica Band is another group which has performed well on many occasions, Eastern's dramatic productions would do credit to a senior high school. The Little Clod Hopper is an event long to be remembered. The operetta, Riding Down The Sky, was pro- claimed by all to be the finest ever staged by a junior high school. Many of the regular assemblies should be rated as excellent productions. I would not attempt to choose the best, it would be impossible. Scholarship is not neglected. Fourteen percent of our students names were on the school honor roll. To the mid-year class we awarded fourteen gold E's, six pin guards, and five special a- wards. The number will be greatly increased this month. In the field of declamations Jacqueline Walsh won the city contest and placed well in the district. Elsie Liddy,an 8A,after winning the District contest, was third in a field of sixty - two at the Metropolitan Spelling Bee held in Detroit. So the year has been worth while in many wavs. What will the next one bring? 1.549914 JUNE 1930........-1- ...,.-.----1--PAGE 5 The Sprincipal I LORAINE F. HIRE Mr. Hire came to Eastern September, 1929, from Wyandotte, Michigan, where he had been principal of the High School for eleven years. He entered Junior High School work because of a real interest in it, and brought with him many ideas which have proved of real value to Eastern. Mr. Hire holds both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Michigan. Eastern students have heartily enjoyed his first year with them, and they hope that he will remain here for many more years. ' 14.

The Arrow Editors have had full charge of the Arrow this semester, as to material and make-up, and the actual printing has been done by classes in printing, directed by lxlr. Schoenoff. Ten Arrows have been issued, with a monthly average sale of six hun dred. JUNE 1930.-......i- 1-.-......lPAGE 7 Qpfve cgrtist LA WRENCE PHILLIPS ' 'The Arrow' ' is very much indebted to Lawrence. He has made all our page headings, and our cover design on this June number. In addition to this, he designed the cover which was used in May, and which is to be our permanent cover. He also pre- pared the drawing which appeared on the program for Riding down the Sky. We feel sure that Lawrence will make Art his profession and we are equally sure that he will be successful. We are happy that We have so much of his work. PAGE 8l.1-.lw ..-1-1.-JUNE 1930 HPROSPECTINH' Up the mountain and thru the burn We climbed.

The 9 A Council is a new method of 9 A class government which was tried for the first time this semester. Miss Brown has acted as advisor for the Council, and the other 9 A Home - room teachers have acted with com- mittees. The Council has had general oversight of all affairs pertaining to the class as a whole, for example the class gift and the class party. Every three weeks, the seven 9 A Home - rooms have met in the auditorium, to enjoy a program in change of Council members. The Council has proved entirely satisfactory, because of their willingness to work together under the guidance of their sponsors.

The girls were undisputed champions in Class C,which included teams composed of girls who were playing their first year of basket ball. The season was brought to a very pleasant close with a banquet in the school cafeteria, at which time their home room teachers were the guests of the girls, and Mrs. Beach and Mrs. Crossland were the speakers. page 30-,f-,f-.l.-- Tcl JUNE 1930 r BASKET BALL TEAM Top row: Monroe Ford, Tony Pietz, Lawrence Phillips, Qoach Bartels, Allen Denham, Ross Burton, arry Hiller Newton Tubbs.

Out of a total of seventeen games played, Eastern won fifteen, putting our team at the head of the Junior High column. The total number of points scored by Eastern in the seventeen games was 182, and in the game with Washington to decide the championship, the score was 119 to 8.

The purpose of this club is just what the name suggests-to give glimpses of a few foreign languages, hoping that the boys and girls may become interested enough in one of them to continue the study of it later on. They have studied German, French,and Spanish, and it would be hard to say which was most in- teresting. They became familiar with a few everyday expressions and learned to write and to translate simple stories. This is the first time this club has been offered, but its success makes it sure for next fall. L W JUNE 1930-..l.. -..........PAGE 33 the Lp if le M2 ffid Shui e f'-Havnl H 4119581 cf IEW? am!

Of course, this founders group has the advantage, because we have had to begin at the bottom, and build all of our own equipment. A stage had to be constructed before anything else could be done. Then came the problem of lights. While the boys were making these things, together with miniature furniture the girls busied themselves making and dressing dolls of all kinds. While our equipment Wouldn't compare with Tatterman's, We are proud of it, and we are happy that Eastern can boast of such a club. The object of our efforts has been to produce The Three Bears , The Three Wishes, and scenes from Alice in Wonderland . So much interest has been shown that we feel puppetry is here to stay. Our membership will be smaller in the future, and Will include only those people who are really interested, thus giving talent a chance. The Club adviser is Miss McDermet.

We'd like to bring all of those people Back to Easternhf only we could! And that's about how we'll be feeling next fall when school opens. But let's look backward a bit, instead of forward- in this particular case it's pleasanter. Recently the Arrow undertook to gather some information about the present 9A's, so a short questionnaire was sent out. There are about two hundred seventy 9A's. and only about two hundred sheets were returned, so the results are not all they might be. Still we thought they were interesting. We found that onlY 100 entered Eastern as 7B's: 2 of those report- ing, as 7'As:30 as 8B's: 9 as 8A's: 50 as 9B's: ll as 9A's. Now, where did they come from? Of course, most of them came from grade schools in the city- McConnell leads with 38: then Cen- tral and Wilson with 18 each: Baldwin, 10: Bagley and Webster, 5 each: McCarroll, Florence, St. Frederick's, The Lutheran, Willis, Washington and Linc ln each contributed 3: 2 came from Central High, 2 from Wisner, and 2 each from Wever and Donelson. From other cities or rural schools in Michigan came 19. But not all of them came from Michigan schools. Missouri, Ind- iana, and Illinois each added 6 to our enrollment: Ohio 4: Pennsyl- vania and Kentucky, 3 each: and New York, Maine, Virginia, North Dakota, Arkansas, California, and Wisconsin, 1 each. So much for the enrollment. Now let's go farther back. Where were these people born? The records say that only 37 were born in Pontiac. Ten were born in Detroit, and 57 others in various Mich- igan towns. But the rest! Twenty one states besides Michigan claim some of these people, Missouri leading with 10, then Illinois 9, Ohio 8, Pennsylvania 7, Indiana 6, and 27 others are from 16 states. Will you believe it'?We even have foreigners here! Strange to say, they look like the rest, and act like the rest, and we'll make a wager that they ARE like the rest! Anyhow, we've never wanted to trade any of them! Alfred Wright,Reggie Smith,Thomas Murphy,William Mansfield, were born in England. Ermay Karnoogian, has come all the way JUNE 1930-..-..i.l.. ..i.i?.....-PAGE 49 from Smyrna,Turkey. Paul Johnson is sort of putting it over on us. He has a sister in another grade in Eastern,and she spells her name quite differently. We suspect hers is more nearly like the original. Paul was born in Kardista, Greece. and his name is Gianokos. John- son is easier, but is isn't any pleasanter to listen to. George Mas- robian came from Armenia. And now for the Canucks ! Howard Smith, Earla Rooney, Eula O'Neil, Elizabeth Pickford, Cecil Hyatt, Harold Humphries.Narie Hulbert, Ethel Havill, Lloyd Pawley, Walter Chersack, all came from Canada. You'd never guess it. How old are these people. The average age of the 9A's is 15 years 4 months,with N iola Mason the youngest one who reported. She will not be 14 until November24, 1930. Edmund Hadden is a month older, his birthday being October 7. But listen to th1s! Dorothy Hawkins was born in Wichita, Kansas, but how she has traveled! She has attended school in 9 states-Kan- sas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennes- see, and Michigan. She has 3 more years of school yet - we'd like to follow her. Their given names are interesting, also. We found 6 Marys, 7 Ruths, 5 Dorothys, 5 Helen, 5 Katherines, or Kathleens,4 Gladys's, and sev- eral others repeated two or three times.

By what yardstick is greatness measured? Some time ago, several teachers - eleven in fact - were asked to make a list of the five persons whom they considered to be the greatest living individuals. Almost all of them com- plained that the number was too small. If you had said ten it would be easier to decide, they said. Their lists are interesting and their yardstick not hard to discover. One thing that is very noticeable,-not one list includes a military man. True, one name is that of a naval officer, and another an army officer, but they were not chosen because of their achievements in military affairs. Each person who is mentioned has made some outstanding contribution to the world of people--in the field of invention,of statesmanship, of science, of social welfare, of exploration, of aviation, of industry. Each one crowds every minute of his or her life with service for his fellow men, and that is the keynote to the greatness of each one. All the great people were not named, of course, but as they said who made the lists, Your number is too small. Now, wha are these people? Thomas Alva Edison was named by each one, a total of eleven times. Benito Mussolini, the Italian states- man, appeared on five lists, as did Charles Lindbergh, and Madame Curie, the French woman who has made such remarkable discoveries concerning the use of radium as a cure for disease. Herbert Hoover was mentioned four times, as was Jane Addams, who has led for many years in settlement work in Chicago. Commander Richard E.Byrd,of Ant- arctic exploration fame and Henry Ford, whose ideas have so changed the workingman's world, were named three times. John D. Rockefeller, another indus- trial giant, and Charles Evans Hughes, who was appointed to succeed Chief Justice Taft, were each mentioned twice. No other name appeared oftener than once, but the fact that they were men- tioned at all says something for them. Those whose names occurred once are: David Lloyd'George, former Prime Minister of Englandg Dr. Clarence Cook Little, former president of the University of Michigan, who has done valuable Work in the field of medical researchg Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the hero of the Labrador g Helen Keller,who has become a use- ful womanin spite of her double hand- icap of blindness and deafness, Ramsay MacDonald, the present Prime Minister of England, Mahatma Gandhi, the great Hindu leader of the people of India: Guglielmo Marconi, of wireless fame: Dr. Adolph Lorenz, the bloodless surgeon g Elihu Root, who was largely respon- sible for the organization and operation of the World Courtg Albert Einstein, the great mathe- matician. Edward Bok, the boy who followed Bai Frziklinn, was mentioned also but because he died recently, his name must be omitted. Any person who tries will be able to make a list of his own. The names may be entirely different, but if each one uses the yardstick by which these peo- ple were measured, his list will be worth while. 15. PAGE 52- ? .h.f.-.iiunm 1930 PAGES FROM THE DIARY OF REBECCA To my dying day shall I revere the memory of Wilfred of Ivanhoe.No fair er knight ever graced Saxon hall.But Bois'Guilbert-as if 'twere not enough to place me in my present plight, he comes to mock me. He knows,Norman churl, that I, Rebecca of York, would die a thousand deaths rather than to throw myself on his mercy, or accept liberty from his hands. Marry,I would suffer tortures rather than look upon his guilty face. Worse tempter hath no one: Brian is entirely without mercy, mine avowed enemy. Mayhap he would like to undo 'a part of the wrong he has done, but alas, only heaven can help me now. Death is welcome to me, F ath e r Abraham, for I am resigned. I am pre- pared to die, and yet - I would that I could see my Father Isaac, thatI might have one last word from him, one last blessing from his lips, and that Imigh tell him that before Heaven, I am innocent. fSeveral days later.J - Once more am I in my father's castle at York. A miracle has happened! I am free, free! Bois-Gilbert relented at tbe last moment, and would have saved me, but I spurned him. The G1 and Master placed me before the stake, and ordered fagots piled about me. Then he looked upon me as coldly and mer- cilessly as I had been the Witch of Endor. Wilfred of Ivanhoe, my friend, was chosen by heaven to be the instrument of my delivery. At the last moment, just before the torch was applied, he appeared, as swift as the wind, before the lists, to champion my cause. I knew him even though his facewas hidden, for have I not nursed Ivanhoe from death? The false villain, Bois-Guilbert will never again trouble me, nor 'ny peo- p'e,for he was stricken by the hand of God, and is dead. Not Wilfred of Ivanhoe, but his own wicked passions undid him. When Ivanhoe appeared in the lists I searched his face in vain for some- thing other than solicitude for a dam- sel in distress. But Wilfred hath chos- en the Saxon Rowena - ah me! Heaven grant him happiness. Once more I have looked upon my father's face, so worn with anxiety. He wished to thank Ivanhoe, but I stayed him, pleading weariness, and we departed. Today,I have seen Rowena. Ah,how fair she is, and methinks she is as good as she is beautifnl. I have taken her a gift of jewels. She was loath to receive them. but I told her that ere the next moon, my father and I jour- neyed to Granada, there to abide with my father's brother, andl shall join an order of women whose good deeds are known far and wide. And Ivanhoe? Never again shall I behold his face. May Heaven bless him, and keep Rowena! . Fare W ell ! Mary Louise Duncan. JUNE 1930..----- ...-....-PAGE 53 A Legend of Beowulf Once upon atime a beautiful maiden came to Beowulf and asked him to come and rescue her two brothers. They had been turned into stone by a fierce dragon, and could not be freed until the monster was slain. This beast lived in a wood aerossa lake that was filled with smaller dragons, and the only way to reach the wood was to swim across the lake. Beowulf went with the fair lady. It had been many days since his last adventure, and he had feared lest his sword rust with disuse. They traveled for many miles: until they came to a very dense, dark, forest. When they were in the midst of the forest, Beo- wulf happened to glance toward his beautiful guide. Imagine his amaze- ment when he saw, not the fair maid- en, but his own worst enemy! He knew then that the Lady in distress had been merely a disguise, and that he had been tricked.He drew his sword and was about to strike the witch'for so she was--when the en- tire wood was plunged into pitch dark- ness. He felt someone touch him,and draw gently toward him. He struck wildly with his sword in the darkness. He heard weird sounds, which would have madea much braver man trem- ble. He lay down on the ground, as if dead, and the witch thinking she had killed him, caused it to become light once more. Quick as a flash, Beowulf cut off the witch's head, being care- ful not to let any of the blood touch him, for it would have poisoned him. Then, carrying the fearful head with him, he turned homeward, vowing never to be so deceived again. Mary Coulthurst. A Spring Pomise A little bit of blowing, A little bit of snow, A little bit of growing- And crocuses will show! To every twig that's lonely A new green leaf will cling, On every patient tree top A thrush will stop to sing! A little bit of sleeting, A little bit of rain, The blue,blue sky for greeting, The violets again! And every frozen hillside Its gift of grass will bring, And every day of winter Another day of spring! Katherine Toshan. May May is coming! May is near! 'Tis the best month of all the year, For with it come wee birdies dear- Oh, l'll be glad when May is here. Small children then will romp and playg Fresh violets open every day, Oh,do you blame me whenl say, Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, for May! Ethel Turnbull PAGE 54 Redskin Oh,Redskin,you roamed America long ago, Everywhere were woods,and branches hung low: You searched for game, and fresh watercress, And painted your face, and wore curious dress: Your cheekbone was high, your hair black and long: Your dark eyes shone when you sang your war-song. Your skin was dark, and your muscle like steely Befor your totem pole, you did worship and kneel. This life was heaven to you, so simple and so free- But when the white men came, your people had to flee. Laurel Stanaback. Today Today the hills appear more green. The skies take on a bluer sheen. Today I see blooming here and there Flowers in fields that late were bare. Today the children laugh and play Because indoors they need not stay. Today sweet springtime comes once more- What joyous days it holds in store! Claribel Archey Report Cards Report cards come, Report cards go, And oh, the marks we get!

Our parents on us smile: But if they're D's-or perchance E's- We're punished for a while.

Night The sun's bright orb Sinks slowly down Into the western Seas, And, glowing fire, if eflects itself, Still shining through the trees. The stream flows on When dav is done, And stars are in the sky, And,twinkling bright, Are mirrored there, With lilies standing by. The country road Winds, ribbon - like, Across the dusky field. The silvery moon Shines lazily- To it the darkness yields. Yet in the town The brightness stays, Tho' the sun sank in the deep, For brilliant lamps Reflect below The stars, that guard sweet sleep. Esther Stuart JUNE 1930........-.-- PAGE 55 IT MARS UNITED STATES The United States has the enviable reputation of being the richest and most prosperous country in the world. Yet there are millions of people in the country who are in financial distress. There are some who do not have the vitality to carry on the work of the country. It is estimated that there are 40,000 deaf people in the United States, There are 53,000 blind, and 74,000 insane, in this country. These people are unable to do anything for themselves. They are crowding the institutions that care for such invalids. There is more to life than luxury and ease. If we want to live a decent, happy life, we must have healthy and complete bodies. There are a great many things that need to be remedied. Some of these are: Cal Epidemics are too common.Near- ly every year some epidemic breaks forth. Recently there Was an outbreak of meningitis, that ravaged parts of the country unchecked. We have no cure for it. Science is helping us, but it still has great work ahead. The labor problem must be solved. Every year there is a slack period during which many men are without employment. We are making minimum wage laws, so that every family may have adequate living facilities. and not have to scrimp to have a good time. There are a number of things that cause poverty, for eXample,the unem- ployment situation, high taxes: poor health. There may be lots of work, and low taxes, but if one's health is poor, the work won't be of much good to him. Some people believe that giving money to poverty-stricken people will relieve tbemkbut it only relieves the giver of his money, and makes him feel that he has done a good deed. This is all very well, but the beggar will probably make a profession of begging.He will take the money home, and use it,but he will never rise above the poverty-stricken stage, because he will always feel that no matter what he tries to do to better himself, he will fail. Then there is the profes- sional beggar,who preys on the public. He poses as a beggar, but he may live in a palatial shack on Fifth Avenue. In other words if you give money you can never tell whether it is going to a millionaire, or whether it is helping someone who deserves it. Another problem to be solved is the unwise use of our powers,and the con - mon forms of human waste. The most prominent form of human waste is idleness. This includes the sick,the un- employed, and the leisure class. Those that are sick cannot be blamed for not being used. The unemployed are pro- bably not to blame for their idleness. But the leisure class are to blame. This includes wealthy people, and parasites. If the wealthy were to put all their PAGE 56 ' 'R 1,4 money into use so that it could give work to the unemployed, it could be excused. But some of these use it on- ly for gambling of various kinds. They use it for their own enjoyment. Then there are the frauds and false teachers that prey on the public to get' their meal ticket. 1 e A Another form of 'human waste is the 'ineffectively occupied. This class in- cludes people who haven't had suffi- cient training for the work they are interested in,True there are those that lack' opportunity: and those 'that' lack ambition. Nothing, can. befdone for Blackers, because if people do not have ideals .and strive tO attain them, we might as well leave- them alone. Then come the people that do not have the mental power topaccomplish their end of the job. Nothing is more pitiful than an imbecile, iorfa person of low mentality. He may feel as if helhadf achance. bnt he is always doomed to disappointment .V,e' A Another class that makes human waste is the harmfully occupiedf They are the ones who waste their. energy by vice and dissipationg and those who Waste other people's energy by- fraud and crime. Most of us never realize the powers that are shut up in us. That is why the schools teach so many subjects, such as printing, sewing,drafting, cook- ing, so that we can get an idea as to what we can do. Another thing we hear a great deal about is health. We -kmiinmt: 1930 don't value our health until it is too late. But it is the way of the world- what we have we do not bother with, and what we haven't,we want. It is said that if we made use of the knowledge .that we have, 75 percent of these conditions could be corrected or prevented. Y I A 2' 1 It is a consolation to know thatiwe are diminishing illnesses and accidents by the use- of the ,slogan, 'Safety first. A- - . We are notfivery fast solving the unemployment isituation, -but a few things are being done which should be mentioned. The banks are enforcing banking laws that reduce the hazard of banking ' failure. Better, employ- ment agencies, are beingi formed to find work for the unemployed. -Em- ployers are manufacturing other pro- ducts in slack times. It almost seems as if war- would be a great thing.More than half the unem- iployed men would volunteer, because they would all be' sure of X their next meal.It wouldreduce the crimewave, because some gangsters: would -.enlist and-get all -the shootings they wanted in bunches- Of course,the'evils that come from the war would over balance any possible good. if ' ' When a slack time exists, the whole nation pays the penalty. It suffers economically, because so many people are idle. We suffer socially, 'for it de- grades the attitude of the people to- ward their employees. X - JUNE 1930,,....--- PAGE 57 Social service is the giving of hon- est lat or to honest people. The United States is making great improvements in the country so as to give work to the unemployed. Roads are being built or repaired,and people are urged to give work to the needy. The Pontiac Welfare Department is endeavoring to keep the situation. They find jobs for people. They clothe children and keep them in school in- stead of letting them go to work. How many things can he done to help diminish these calamities? We could have safer workshops,and this is being done. We could better guard our health.We could have cleaner cities by doing away with smoke and dust. We could do away with the squalid tene- ments in the larger cities. Some em- ployers have a pension system, and if a man is killed, his wife Will be given a pension until the children are old enough to support her. Then, too, some employers have a department that deals with the choosing of voca- ti zns. It is here that a person may find out for what job he is best fitted. The applicants are given tests, and are judged bythe way they respond to the questions. What is the outlook for 1930, as to prosperity 'Z It is said that we shall see a flood tide of prosperity, because the failures of 1929 were due to lack of confidence rather than to economic reasons. We are not the only country that needs improvement, but we do need to rid ourselves of these black marks against us. Howard Humphries.9AHuman Progress Spring We cannot count the buds so fair V On lovely days of spring, By woods, and streams, and field, and caves. The flowers a message bring. Up from the greening sod they come To lift each fragrant head, A million signs that Spring is here And Winter vanished--dead! Helen Curtis Dreaming I sat by my window last evening, Watching the sun in the westg I noticed the leaves were not flutter- ing, But all had stopped for a rest. I looked o'er the lake in the distance, Where white tluiy sails were a-gleam. They were coming, with every sail drooping! This surely must be a dream. And then in the halll heard foot- steps, A tap on my sholder I felt- My mother was there with a dish towel, And said, Thanks, my son, for your help.
