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 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
