To the knights in the days of old, Keeping watch on the mountain height, Came a vision of Holy Grail, And a Voice through the waiting night. Follow,follow,follow the Gleam, Banners unfurled o'er all the world, Follow,follow,follow the Gleam Of the Chalice that is the Grail! And we would serve the King, And loyally Him obey, In the consecrate silence know That the challenge still holds today. Follow, follow, follow the Gleam, Standard of worth o'er all the earth, Follow, follow, follow the Gleam Of the light that shall bring the dawn. -Hi-Y song- Page 2 A fi' gf -41+ ' ,Lu V. .- Ei'-1 . x EASTERN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, PONTIAC, MICHIGAN voL. 6 JANUARY 1931 No. 5 Edited by the Arrow Editors Clubg hand composition and printing done bv the nrinting classes of Eastern Junior High School.

They are leaving Eastern now because they had the pluck to strive for a goal and con- quer it. Eastern congratulates them! For many, however, the game is not yet over. The last goal has not been reached. There are years ahead that spell High School. Let those who are privileged to take advantage of another three years of education consider the home base Just ahead. May those who have found it at Eastern remember that education does not stop with the class-room. n Eastern is proud of the devotion that her 9A's have given their school. In bidding them farewell she Wishes them the suc- ess that accompanies all good endeavor. Donald Mc Leod Q Editor-in Chief . fqy. ,ew- C5776 fprinczpal Says: Some years ago a group of prominent educators met and attempted to answer the most important questions of the day in education. What is education? What is its purpose? They all agreed that the aim of education is to iiveitheugood life, and by this meant ahappy,successful life.Such a life they said would contain seven essential elements which they named in the follow- ing order: , QU Health f2l Command of the fundamental subjects 133 Ethical character C41 Worthy home membership 153 Acceptance of civic responsibility Q63 Vocationalfitness 475 Worthy use of leisure time. Let us set them up as guiding signs on the road to right living. We ere living in a country Which offers us many opportunities to attain any or all of these seven major educa- tional objectives. ' He who lives the successful life must first set up goals and then plan to make the best of the many opportunities life offers. Eastern is a progressive school. It offers you many opportun- ties but it rests with you to take advantage of them. Plan a good life! Live it welll Happy, thrice happy, every one Who sees his labors well begun, ' - And not perplexed and multiplied By idle waiting for time and tide. .

It came from the name of a man. He was the son of a very great king and had every- thing he wanted, but he was not satisfied. One day he did a very mean cruel deed. Lo you think his just father let that deed go unnoticed? No,not for an instant. The doer of the wicked deed was placed undera sf- vere punishment. But what was the punishment? The king and some of his officers met and discussed the subject. A plan was finally decided u :on and carried out. The cruel sm was placed in a lake in which he stood with the water up to his chin, andabove his head was plac- ed the most delicious fruit you have ever seen. Now you might think that was not a punishment but wait! What happened when the son tried to quench his thirst? Thewater receeded until he could not get a sip of it. And what happened when he streched up his arm to grasp the fruit? It also receed- ed out of -reach. How tantalizing! Now, I suppose,you know the poor fellovv's name. It was Tantalus and his father was Zeus.

Grace McGinnis 7B-5 ..--E-1- High Adventure One day while Jean and I were trudg- ing through the woods, we saw a thin wisp of smoke curling upward from a small, dried-out swamp. Upon closer investigation we found a smouldering camp fire, and over it hung a pail. We thought that perhaps this would turn out to be an adventure so we look- ed cautiously in all directions to see if anyone were about.However, no one was in sight, and we crept towards the fire. ' The most delicious odors were com- ing from the pail,and we were hungry as bears. We waited a while,but no one apps-ared.We finally became impatient and Jean suggested we help ourselves. We took our tin cups ,from our knap- sacks, and prepared tc take some of the contents of the pail, which proved to be a stew of rabbit and vegetables. We made up our minds that some hunter must have left his camp to find more game. We were justbeginning to enjoy ourselves when a shot disturbed the silence of the woods about us. The natural thing to do was to run, which we promptly did. We heard a shout, and an angry voice saying, Halt or I'll shoot. Needless to say, we halted, for we supposed of course the voice was addressing us. When we turned around, we had another surprise, for ,we saw a man running our way, closely followed by another man with a gun. This frightened us more than ever, and once more we started to run. I stumbled over a root and bumped my head on a stump. I was dazed at first, but I started to rise, when it seemed as if a huge tree were crashing down upon me. When I recovered my senses, Ifound it was a man, and not a tree, that had fallen on mel i The man with the gun was compli- rnenting us on our bravery in helping him capture the one who had fallen over me, who turned out to be a poacher, and the owner of the stew that we had been obliged to leave. The captor gave ns a reward, and I promptly fainted once more. It wasn,t very large, but it was enough to buy each of us a new reel for our fishing rod.

After you so generously gave us permission to print in.our Christmas issue a story written by cane of your pupils for your own paper last Christmas. We were obliged to cut down on our pages, and so were unable to use it. However we still have the story and shall keep it until next year. It will lose none of its interest- ingnessn in the meantime. We are glad to welcome to our ex change desk The, Beehive, from Harding Junior High, Steubenville, Ohio. The issue for Christmas was Very attractively illustrated, and the poems were good. The staff is fortun- ate in being able to have their material linotyped, and the student body is fort- unate in that the paper is free to stud- ents. Fort Smith Pow Wow, your De'- cemberissue was well-nigh as Christ- massy as our own Arrow. We liked your cuts very much. Many thanks, Washington. Hi-Lights Honolula, for the copy of Na Huna Manao which you so kindly sent us. We are much interested in it. In fact some of us think we may try some such venture ourselves. So watch us. Along came the Terra Haute Tailsman with a cover even more attractive than -former ones, and the inside of the magazine as good as the outside! We have as our ambition to some day be as good as the Talisman. A The editor of the Arrow wonders whether the idea followed by the Bin- ford Bulletin, Richmond, Virginia of having above each article the name of the boy who set the type would not be a good one for us to follow. ' , The editors of the Tiumpeter Spanish Fork, Utah, have reasons to be proud of their paper. The articles are well written and the arrangement is gond. We are glad to receive the paper. Sometime we shall print a list of all our exchange friends. We are proud of the' fact that we have so many. Each one of them gives us new ideas for our magazine and we hope some of them find us helpful. 4 Page 10 lla- fzfrlik Lamar Little Gyla Logan XM 9th Grade Lucile Beach Arlene Beers Marian Bently, Geraldine Boerschinger Helen Braknis Evelyn Buckler Violet Burder John Carr Ruth Carr X Ethel Carter Oren Clausen Raymond Cole Mary Coulthurst Dorothy Dennis Francis Gamble Kenneth Gibson James Glennie Sarah Gregory Mabel Gutzke Vera Gutzke Camille Harris Agnes I-lermoyian llah Immel Ruth Irwin Geraldine James Robert Jockwig Everet Johnston Jlilverett Joseph Thelma Kirk Alice Kissell Alex Kissell Annie Kostin Eleanor Kuehn Emma Lewis I Marvel McCarrick Lena McDougall NjRamona McLean Catherine McPhillips Leonard Miesse Peter Moskos Agnes Nacarato Marian Nessie Coleman Lee J Elsie may Russell Lyon Charles N utter Bert Olson Lorne O,Neil WGretchen Ossman Virginia Padfield Rosilla Parcels Claudia Phipps Mary Pietz Harol Pickford Wilbur Ponn Laura Racine UMary Roden Helen Rooney George Rulka Vivian Schember Walter Sharako Ada Shaver Stanley Siggs Kenneth Skelton lXjMelvin Skelton Charles Snyder Eva Soldusky Harry Stenhens Durward Stoner Grace Strohschein Ina Stuart Augustine Sustaita.

Mary's sister,Winifred,was on the honor list when she left here in June l929gher oldest sister, Gladys, was valedictorian of her class upon graduation from high school,so you see winn- ing honors in scholarship comes naturallyn to the Rodens.

The club also spent some time looking into pic- tures by Michigan artists which are the special exhibition for Ianuary. ...lgeiu The Arrow editors have asked us for some news about the Nature club. Because of the shortness of club per- iod and the shiveryness of many of our members we have not been going outside lately.Instead we attempt to see nature through the eves of Ernest Thompson Seton as described in Two Little Savages . We particularly en- joyed the fight between the skunk and the mother cat, and the adoption bv the cat of the baby squirrels. We are al- ways glad too when Ca'eb Clark visits camp. We feel very proud of lhe activi- ties of one of our members- Laoma Wilcox .She has made three remark- able collections, an insect collection, a flower collection, and a leaf collection. She is now working on a nature scrap- book containing pictures and articles. Lois Blake, Francis Bruce,Wilma.But- ler and Curtis Snyder have also made interesting collections.

The Radio Club is One of the clubs we hear very little about at Eastern. Undoubtedly the reason is because the boys are too busy to make reports to the Arrow staff. ' The fellows not only build crystal sets, one, two, or three tube sets which are zzsually called blooper receiving sets, but they also gain information concerning the possibilities in the radio field. Radio engineering, journialism, inventions, television aud radio-vision, service work, broadcasting, manufact- tue of sets, jobbers and wholesalers, public address system, and education- al developments have all been dicuss- ed by the members of the club. No wonder the toys are interested in ra- din. Thc officers of the club are: John Tashjian, President, Charles Uligian, Secretary - Treasurer. ....-f-Q..-W..

The office was soon jammed with excited Spectators. both children and teachers. Just as it was suggested that admission be charged, Stanley Slggs appeared and gave a clue as to the probable rightful owner. The dog was left in Miss Reynollls care or Miss Reynolds was left in the dogs care we know not which, while Stanley and Mr. Cox set forth to locate the owner. A member of a construction force vx ork ing near the Yellow Cab factory claim- ed the Least and sent a messenger to lead him away. The last we heard he was still in captivity.

Deposit slips should have the name of the ma- ker of the check opposite the amount. He told the reasons checks are sent back to people and showed us the stick- ers that are put on bad checks. He particularly emphasized how important it is to notify the bank of any change of address. Mr. Bush's talk was very inter- esting andl am sure that all who heard him would like to have him come again. Doris Banghart 8 B-7 .-..Tj1-1..- -. The Boys' Glee Club, for its second assembly of the semester presented, on Jan. 22, and 23,the one act operetia Freshies by Otis M. Carrington. 'lhe part of Charles, president of the Wanta Pie fraternity was played by Roy Seaman while Russell Lyon and Ailisterparpenter were college stu- dents of law and medicine,re-spectively. The parts of the three football stars were taken by Durwood Stoner, lilarl Fields,and Peter Moskos. Other prin- cipals were,Kenneth Gibson,Alec Kis- sell,and Russell Perkins. The operetta told a typical college stcry of the persecution of tie three freshmen played by Howard Houcks, Billy Dunseith and Robert Jocafwig' and the surprising turning of the tab- les upon their tormeutors. The rest of the Glee Club formed the chorus of college men. A.C.

He has added several pounds to his weight and has grown a little in height.- He is now back in school feeling fine. ..-...E---.g. Did you happen to see the big red can dles burning in Room 110 the last two weeks before Christmas? Every day that any homeroom pupils brought a gift for the Christmas basket,a candle was lighted during home room period. several candles were kept burning all day on the Friday before vacation in ho.1or of the children who had made possible the large. contribution to the Christmas work 1 f the school.. ..,,.. El.. ,., Elizabeth Gilmer who left Pontiac about two months ago to make her home in Rock Springs,Georgia,has re- turned to Home room 118. Elizabeth says there are no schools in Rock Springs so Well equipped as those in Pontiac. Home room 3 0 1 has the distinction of having two members, M argaretMill- er and Maud Lawrence whose names are identically like two teachers in the Pontiac schools. Miss Miller teaches at Crofoot and Miss Lawrence teaches at Webster. Perhaps Margaret and Maud will be teacher ' also some day. ...-.E...-- The members of Home Room 110 consider themselves very fortunate in having Mrs. Dearing as the substitute during Miss Abbott's absence. While they do not wish any teacher' any bad luck they do hope that Mrs. Dearing will be in Eastern freguently, for she has made many friends here. .,.--.E---.... Twenty eight out of the thirtyone pupil enroled in Home Room 111 have a record of perfect attendance for the semester. These same 7A-2s have had only one tardy mark during this school year. 1 The 7B-7. Home Room 208, have established the same record as to tard- iness. Would that Eastern had more such groups!

He has hunted in the Arctic, barely escap- ing death when the schooner went on the rocks only seven hundred - fifty miles from the Pole. He has spent two years in Alaska hunting and tak- ing pictures.Altogether,it appears that Eastern will have a wonderful time when Art Young comes on' Thursday, February 19.

Here is the story. During December occurred the various spelling bees which were planned by the Pontiac Daily Press. In the home room contest, the first of the series, each of the girls won the cham- ' hi of her homeroom In the building bee Carrol was the pions p . winner over thirty-one contestants and was declared champion of Eastern.

They played six games, winning from Drayton Plains once and twice each from Cranbrook and the third team from Pontiac High. They lost to St. Fredericks only. Tne outstanding men were Brown, Murd- ock, Taylor, Schiefler and Bigler. Eastern's basketball team has won three out five games played thus far in the season. Brown, Tayior and Murdock are play- ing a good game. In the basketball home-room league, reports available up to January 19 showed the team made up of boys from Miss Whit! field's and Mr. Barclay's home-rooms leading in the ninth grade. Boys from Miss Gulick's and Mrs. Elliott's rooms form the lead- ing eighth grade team while Mr. Sturdy's and Miss Healey's rooms furnish the boys for the leading seventh grade team. ,..,12--.... G.A.C. girls and the girls'gym classes so far have had asplen- did year. The playday held in OcLober was a huge success. All the girls played kickball. Miss Gulick's 8B-5's earned the right to represent Eastern and won over Lincoln and Washing- ton, thus becoming champs . The team made up of 7A's tied with Lincoln and lost to Washington as did the 9B team. Basketball for the ninth grade has begun with four teams. The 9A'S will continue playing at the high school while the oth- er three teams will play each other twice earning the right to represent Eastern against other schools. Games here at Eas- tern will be played after school each Tuesday and Wednesday during F ebruary. Thd winning team will play other schools in March. The other girls are playing volley ball.
