CARDINAL OF 1929 body, the faculty, the number of courses of electives, the extra-scholastic activitiesg until like a huge machine, we clicked ponderously on, faster and faster, limited only by the 'no thoroughfare' of time ..... Mr. Webster became principal of the Holmes school in 1893, and when East High was completed in 1900 he was transferred to the new school. The 1923 Cardinal tells of this great educator: Now in the year 1900 there reigned over East high school a mighty ruler. And he was called William Francis Webster. And this was the first year of the Orient. And he was young when his reign began. But he got him a faculty. And he did what was right. And the school waxed great and mighty. But that which was evil and abomina- tion he did cast out. And after some years he did build him a third story to his temple. C1905.l And he did cause his people to pass thereto. Also he built an annex and cut thereto a doorway leading from the main hall. And he set a carven image of Minerva in the hall. And with pictures did he adorn the walls of his temple. And when he spake unto the children of the Orient, they did harken unto his voice, for it was good. And his words were wisely spoken. And he was greatly loved. Additions were made to East High School in 1908, 1910, 1912, and 1914. Mr. Webster was succeeded by Louis N. McWhorter. He remained principal for one year and was then transferred. In 1922 when Mr. Webster became superinten- dent of schools, Mr. McWhorter was made assistant superintendent. ln 1917 Sheri- dan W. Ehrmann became principal of East high. He remained until 19241 when East high school was abandoned. Mr. Ross N. Young, present principal of Marshall high school, began his work at the new school when it opened in the fall of 1924. In 1923 the new northeast high school was opened and in the fall many of the East high students were transferred to the new Edison junior-senior high school. The senior class of 1922 was the last class at East to be representative of the whole East side. Because East had by now become inadequate in facilities as well as in room, John Marshall junior-senior high school was built and- occupied in the fall of 1924. East then became a vocational high school. The school history of the East side, herein presented in a very condensed form, also contains many glorious examples of achievement. Some of us who have older brothers and sisters can remember those days when East was at its height, when it was in the midst of its distinguished glory. Marshall students have at their own school several heirlooms of this famous school. Our annual, The Cardinal itself, is a price- less inheritance from East. The first 18 volumes of the Cardinal contain and pre- serve the glory of that old school. East High School earned the famous comment, Fighting Cardinals. Eastis teams won this old appellation. The cups and tro- phies in the trophy case are individual reminders of the wonderful teams of 1921, 1922, and 1923. These traditions along with several others give Marshall a back- ground upon which to build her own platform, her own title to a laurel wreath. ln these five short years which is the life of our school, Marshall has proved that a firm foundation is a wonderful one upon which to build. Anything Marshall achieves she achieves gloriously alone. Her background must have an important part. Soon Marshall will have her own traditions just as East had hers, just as Winthrop slipped out, so East will slip out, East traditions will be Marshall's traditions with but a faint memory of the grand old school. Eastls accomplishments should be a spur to the hearts of the underclassmen of Marshall. Together with anything this senior class may have accomplished, it is for the oncoming senior classes to give Marshall its own, to make Marshall as proportionately great and to make it proportionally greater than East.

BOOK OF SCHOOL BRIDGE SQUARE IN 1851 This is a reproduction of the oldest picture taken on the site of Minneapolis and shows 11 group of Indian Lepees on the site now known ns Bridge Square. Partly concealed in the background is the Stevens house. A VISITOR AT MARSHALL E are really proud of our schoolfl said the six month alumnus as we walked up the broad sidewalk to the door of the buildingg and from the cheerful exterior I could not but agree with him. The grass was luxurious and green, and the flower beds were shining with red and yellow tulips. I-Ie, seeing my glance in their direction, hastened to explain. '4The June graduating class left those flowers and shrubs as a memorialfa he said. Then we entered the quiet building. As we came into the front hall, a boy rose from behind an information table and asked if there was anything that he could do for me. However, I had a guide, so I merely thanked him and passed on. It was the middle of first period, and John asked me where I should like to visit. My mind was made up. HEnglish, I answered. - So English it was. I had scarcely entered the room until the host came up to me and made me welcome. He gave me a book and pointed out where the class was reading. Then in a low tone he explained what the lesson for the day was. The hour slipped by as though it were only a few minutes, and then the bell rang and there was a five minute intermission. We slipped out of the room, and as we walked up the steps I noticed that in each corner of the hall was a boy wearing a pin with the word nservicen on it. I looked to my guide for an explanation. Those are the hall pagesfl he told me. They leave class a few minutes early Fifteen
