Rockford. Offering us opportunities for a large measure of fun, along with some serious thought and hard work, Rockford gave to us during our years at East, not only one of the best high schools in the state, but also a host of churches, theaters, eating-places, and libraries. Sunday evening finds faboveb Ronnie Garthwaite and Carol Ackerson, accompanied by Marian Blucher, john Seedoff, Carolyn Heid, and Carl Helm leaving church after an evening of fun and religious concentration at a popular young people's meeting. Hardly a week-end passes for Eastites without a typical double date to a favorite theater with an after-movie snack at a near-by eating place. Geri Brown and Lucille Pottinger wait in the picture above while John Carlson and Kent johnson buy tickets for their favorite dates. What's this! , . . Ralph Stang looks a little outnumbered but not too displeased after running into Colleen Kitzmiller, Audrey Anderson, and Clarice Young while they were resting their brains and satisfying their sweet tooths after a busy Monday night at the downtown library. Speaking of libraries Cnot many seniors did after the deadline for those famous senior themesj here is a group of industrious seniors working on their themes before the deadline. The serious expressions on their faces and the disarray of the table reveal hard work and prove they deserve an A -at least for effort. Upon the closing of school, these scenes around Rockford, blurred by time, will simply take their place in our scrapbook of memories as a necessary part of . . . East. 2 F . wp .

This was one of the many suggestions brought before the Student Council during the past year. This year a new plan was adopted for -fr choosing members for the Council. Five girls and live boys were chosen from each of the three classes. sophomore, junior, and senior. to represent the student body. This decreased the membership a great deal and made it possible for the members to get more work done. Chosen hy vote of council members as faculty advisers to this governing body were Miss lilizabeth McGuire and Mr. Steve Po- laski. Wlieri conllicts arose within the Coun- eil, the two were called in for advice. lixtensive work in safety, good sports- manship, and a new honor program was carried on by the members of Student Coun- til. An important job of Student Council was the selling of cokes at after-game and rec parties. Many a thirsty party-goer was thankful for the familiar sign Coca-Cola appearing at the end of the cafeteria. Presiding over this years meetings were .lack Holmbeck, presidentg Marilyn Halver- son, girls' vice-president, Carl Solomonson, boys' vice-president, Bonnie Greenwood, SCCFCIRITY, Lllkl Bill MCNLUULIFLI, UCZISUFCF. president, Marilyn Halverson, girls' vice-presidentg and Mr. Kroll, adviser.

We Stud the Past Everything from a discussion of MacArthur's worth to the study of the Carthaginian wars comes within the scope of social studies. Two years' work in the social studies field, including American History, Government, and Mod- ern Problems, is required at East High. This minor is essential because of the urgent need for developing in- formed and purposeful citizens in a democracy. Social studies are simply the group experiences of the human race. These can be divided into 419 history, which is the story of what man has done and why he has done it, and 429 progress made by groups in government, in making a living, and in social welfare. ln general they provide a broad background for under- standing the difhculties of modern living. Their aim is to make civic behavior more human, responsible and intelligent. Modern History is the study of the past and present history of various foreign countries, in order to gain a better understanding of the conditions of todays world. The history of civilization, of religious struggles, and of the arts and sciences is studied in the XX!orld History courses. American History deals with the establishment of our own democratic government and of the United States as a whole. Government is a study of the legislative and political side of America. Organization of government, privileges and duties of citizens, and qualifications of officials are covered, and the various governments of world powers are compared, Modern Problems deals with current economic and social problems which directly or indirectly affect every person. Economic Geography teaches the interdependence of all peoples and instills good will through common understanding and information. AE Gov, how'd we do? Did we M place?

In addition to debating the national high school question, Resolved: That All American citizens should be subject to conscription for essential service in time of war, many team members participated in the state speech con- testsg Lois johnson and Claudia johnson quali- lied for Champaign competition, and Claudia johnson won state honors by bringing home the first place gold medal.

A potluck supper was eaten in the gym, where the new Y-Teen director, Miss Sammy Colberg, welcomed the initiates. Senior, junior, and sophomore officers chosen to lead the Y- Teens this year were joan Christianson, vice-president, and Sandy Moore, secretary, East, Kay Sider, president, and jan Myers, treasurer, West High seniors. juniors from East were Sue Sjo- strom, president, and Nancy Van Deventer, secretaryg lone Grable, vice-president, Joyce Smith, secretary, and Kay Zegrill, treasurer, represented West. At other meetings a hair stylist demonstrated some of the latest hair-do's, and at Christmas time the girls made their annual visit to the County Farm, where they entertained the old folks with Christmas carols. An open house at the YWCA was given for the purpose of celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of Y-Teens. On the program was the traditional hanging of the greens. Again this year Y-Teens collected chocolate bars to send to Europe and with them went several letters from the girls. Many of these were answered by other teen-agers in foreign countries. The local branch of Y-Teens, which consists of members of both East and West high schools, is a part of a world-wide organi- zation sponsored by the YWCA for the purpose of promoting fellowship and good sportsmanship. 12 RIGHT: Hi-Y memhers were: STANDING: Gary Squier, Don Oslworne, Don Hagelund, john Dahlin, Dick Schachr, Hill Nelson.

Cease your wondering! That M stands for 1 'A monitor , and those chairs were set aside for those patient and dependable students who watched over the halls . . . Monomen. A few of the tasks these students performed were regulating hall lights, directing visitors through the building, and keeping the halls free from wanderers and noise. Whatever time was left was their own, and they could spend it studying if they wished. One of these guardians of the halls was selected by the Dean of Girls, Miss Winifred Ledger, to be the traveling monitor. This student saw to it that the other monitors were at their assigned posts at all times. All these people belong to a loosely-knit organization known as Mono Club. Leading the large Mono stali for the first semester was Roger Keene, president, Sandra Moore, vice-pres- identg Mary Gillman, secretary, and Tom Karahalios, treasurer. Co-advisers for the year were Miss Wini- fred Ledger and Mr. William Aleks. Monitor, LaVerne Christofferson, checks yellow admit of Wanderers Judy Mintz and Janice Rudin. 14 Music, the international language, was used by the American junior Red Cross Councils this year as a way to communicate with and better understand the other countries of the world and their customs. Under the International Music Program, the Council sent records of the musical groups at liast High to foreign schools and in return received records from these countries. The records were made in school and sent to Wzlsli- ington where they were stored. Wlleil a request came in for a particular type of record, or one of a special song or from a certain school, it was sent from Wfashington to the school which made the request. Council members helped the local blood program by keeping records and charts of the people giving blood and by working in the Canteen where food was prepared for the donors and workers. School supplies, playthings, and such items as wash- cloths and soap went to till the gift chest sent to an overseas school. The gift chest sent last year went to a school in Indonesia. Homeroom representatives enrolled the new members of the junior Red Cross by getting their contributions in their homerooms. Members for the Council are chosen by the home- rooms and meet during the year.

Shown above they rehearse under the skillful baton of Mr. june Bornor. Should you happen to visit room 319 about 2:40 on any school day, this scene is bound to greet you. First, you'd see a state of jumbled confusion-orchestra members scurrying about in the midst of a sea of stands, music, and instru- ments. Gradually things fall into a semblance of an orchestra, and you see Director June E. Bornor, or J.B. as his kids call him, step on the podium and wave his baton. Instantly, well, in a matter of a minute or two, everyone and everything is quiet. There are scattered frantic attempts made by the slower orchestra members to play the first note of the piece Mr. Bornor has announced. Occasionally during the practice session JB. stops to pass on a bit of humor or to tell of some experience he has had. Between numbers you would probably note the industry of some of the more ambitious amateur musicians busily trying to smooth out a rough spot in a piece to be played for assembly or a class play. Much preparation goes on at the east end of third floor for each of the many appearances which the orchestra makes during the year. Some of these include assembly programs, musical selec- tions for the junior and senior class plays, the We Add a Bit of Culture BACK ROW: C. Mattson, E. Siden, R. Carre, A. Youngquist, C. Quitno, C.

The annual spring concert marks the climax of the years work. Surprise and honor came this year when the picture of the combined Iiast and West High orchestra ap- peared on the cover of the National Music magazine. Don't get the idea that orchestra is all work and no play-definitely not. In the fall there is the annual tea for the purpose of acquainting old and new members. For the annual party in the spring the orchestra mem- bers don costumes to fit the theme of the dinner and dance held together with West Highs orchestra. The outstanding events of this party are the awarding of medals to the seniors and the viewing of movies of the past and present years seniors which were taken by Mr. Bornor. Sent to the All-State orchestra this year were Ianis lierglund, flutist, and Ianis Lindblom, percussionist. First semester oHicers of the orchestra were Roger Rathke, president, Paul Franzen, vice-president, Marilyn Halverson, secretary, Ioyce Burg, treasurerg Gilbert Cederholm, head librarian: Irene Ek and Roger Marga- son, assistant librarians, and Charles Carlson, concert- master.

School songs were featured along with typical college life. Besides performing for their concert, A Cap- pella members displayed their musical abilities in the operetta, concerts in various churches, the school Christmas program, PTA's, and Commencement exercises. Octet, made up of Anne Beckstrand, Mary S. johnson, Claudette Fagerstrom, Mary Lou Anderson, Ralph Stang, Ronnie johnson, Pete Hensley, john Moors, and Carolyn Heid, pianist, was kept busy during the year singing for various community affairs.

This year, as always, the band boys provided music which added spirit to many an occasion. Be- sides the well-known performances at football and basketball games and parades, the band put on a sacred concert at St. .Iohn's Evangelical church, took part in the ROTC Federal Inspec- tion, and played for commencement. What- ever the event, the boys were always cheerful, good sports that set a fine example of sports- manship, and were an enthusiastic cheering section. fRemember their terrific cheer of '7l?5 A Camera,.purchased this year, was used to good advantage. All the football performances and parades were filmed and shown in order to correct mistakes and analyze formations.

But let's take a peek through the door and see whats going on. Some of the liveliest and most energetic students at East make up the group known as Folk Dancers. This group, just as the name implies, dances to folk tunes from the United States and European countries. The members are picked from the Hillt0p's many choral groups. If you could watch a typical rehearsal of folk dancing, you would see and hear a conglomeration of unusual hap- penings. Mary Lou Anderson, the organizations able pianist, would be playing the numerous lively melodies that accom- pany the group while the dancers go through the intricate patterns of the dance. Once in a while you might hear the familiar strain of Lindy's voice saying Door again! The dancers, who usually meet on the aud stage, dance on Wednesdays and Fridays under the watchful eye of Lin- den Lundstrom, director of East High's music, and Miss Adeline Hoegberg, speech and dramatics coach. The members of Folk Dance Group sponsored their assembly in February, showing their Czechoslovakian dances, and gave their first school concert on April 14. St. Louis, Mo., was their destination May l6, 17, and 18, when they attended an annual national folk festival there. Members are Carol Ackerson, Joanne Adamson, Marcette Bloom, Marion Carlson, Richard Eck, John Engberg, joan Ericson, Ted Hager, Carl Helm, Diane Hlavka. Others included in the group are Marilyn Hoaglund, Janet Holmberg, Kent johnson, Leanard Johnson, Edith Lerman, Dick Lucas, Roger Lundstrom, Maureen McKnight, Nancy McMullen, Daniel Peterson, Lucille Pottinger, Paula Sedgwick, Joanne Soderberg, Ralph Stang, Ronald Swenson, Sharon Thomas, and jack Wztrtl.

The plot centered around these two royal maids who, be- cause they were bored with austere court life, dressed as peasants and accompanied by Lady Harriets cousin Lord Tristan fPete Hensleyj journeyed to the county fair seeking diversion. Wliile at the fair the girls were unknowingly sold as servants to the two gentleman farmers, Plunkett and Lionel, and were led off for a year in service. Back at the farmhouse the young men tried to teach their royal servants Cknown to them only as Martha and juliab sim- ple household tasks and were surprised to learn that they knew so little. ln the process, however, the heroes found themselves falling in love, but the girls spurned their lowly suitors. Dejectedly the men retired, and the maids escaped with the aid of the faithful Tristan. After the next meeting of the quartet during a hunting party, when the lovers again professed their love and were rejected, all proceeded in true light opera style. A grief- stricken Lionel was discovered to be of royal birth and at a reenactment of the Richmond fair staged to bring him back to his senses in order to recognize Harriet iwho is now will- ing to return his lovel, Lionel and Harriet were betrothed. as were Plunkett and Nancy. . . . . and present Martha .- ix.

Well, if you do, you're wrong-very wrong. Rather you should think of girls with their faces painted vivid colors, trying to eat jello with their Hngers. This is the way you enter ABL . . . as rr messy underdog in a hilarious initiation. Or you should imagine soft lights, romantic music and girls in swishing formals-for this constitutes the annual semi-formal sponsored by ABL. Junior girls with a A average or seniors with an A or B average are eligible for this club, which had its beginning in March, 1921, at Central High. The or- ganization has made great strides, advancing interest in literature and promoting a feeling of good fellow- ship among girls since its founding. First semester officers were Marian Blucher, presi- denrg Audrey Anderson, vice-president, Carol Acker- son, secretary, and Jane Lindquist, treasurer. Head- ing the club the second semester were Lucille Pottin- ger, presidentg Anne Beckstrand, vice-president: Diane Hlavka, secretary: Carol Ackerson, treasurer. Janis Berglund and Marilyn Halverson were the social chairmen for the year. Miss Martha Lyon was the adviser.

Tl - f V ll ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ic rtcnc y and strictly informal atmosphere of the classroom is indeed an aid to shy students. Choral reading was offered this year for the lirst time along with demonstration speeches- on subjects from shaving to deep sea diving-timed, and de' scriptive speeches. The advanced second semester program included writing and participating in student plays and mock radio programs, broadcast over the loud speaker system from the Little Theater to the rest of the class in rootn lll.

Here's your tin'! still ringing in their hearts and minds, the cast of the junior class play looks back with pride upon its presentation of Cheaper by the Dozen. The story of the famous Gilbreth family with its twelve hardy red- haired youngsters was humorously por- trayed by a fine cast headed by Ronnie Swenson as papa Efficiency Expert Gilbreth, assisted by his understanding wife, Phyllis Lundeen. Other leads went to Dianne Nelson and janet Holmberg, who portrayed papa's two eldest daughters, intelligent, fresh, and innocent, but trying desperately to be daring and sophisticated, while Skin- py McKnight added atmosphere in her part as an old maid schoolteacher who thought all teen-agers were sim- ply nasty little cheats, and was not afraid to say so! In the final analysis, however, every- thing did go smoothly and the credit should be awarded to one person, the old reliable of East high dramatic productions, Miss Adeline Hoegberg. ln keeping with the serious state of world affairs, the ,lignilied seniors of the class of l952 presented the Ruth ind Augusta Goetz drama, The Heiress, May 9 and lil. Heading the cast in the lead that Wetmcly Heller made famous on litoadway in I9- l7 was Helen johnson, also rc-memhered for her past performances at junior high and in last year's junior play and Christmas pageant, Playing opposite her in the male lead was john Moors, also talented and experienced in dramatic productions. The plot itself is one of partial tragedy, for the hero- ine's tale is one of woe. Catherine was faced with the problem of heing extremely wealthy but without the faculty of knowing just what to do with her money. As a result her taste for clothing and love affairs suffered. However, during the two years when her money-con- scious lover was traveling ahroad, a great transformation came over the drah creature, and in a series of psychof logical reactions she revolted against her domineering father, Roger Rathlte, and woke up to the fact that her lover was interested in her money, thus she hegan life anew as an ordinary human heing. On the other side of the globe, Morris Townsend, the lawyer, was realizing that it was true love he felt for Catherine. And so upon returning, their elopement was planned. liut the climactic ending occurs when Morris is left pounding at her door and a new and determined Iiatherine holts the door and ascends the stairs. Rehearsing their lines with the student directors, Sue Hutchinson and Clarice Young, are the lead roles in The Heiress. Standing: john Moors and Roger Rathke.

Valerie Guyer Myron Carlson Bart Richardson Geri Brown The staccato sound of three typewriters all going at once, .lrawers being pulled open and pushed shut in search of wan- .lering papers, someone waving a tipsy taffy apple to the tune of Little Wliite Cloud That Cried, the even hum of busy voices punctuated occasionally by a shriek of inspiration or laughter----all these form the background for each issue of the liast Highlights. A typical day would lind Sports liditor Myron Carlson in the far corner tapping Ullf bits of sports news and witticism for the Cheering Section. ln another corner Janis Berglund, editor- in-chief, would be laboring over the heading for a late story which somehow always counts out half a point too much. At this point the phone would begin ringing off the wall, four people would be bidding for the services of one poor typewriter, an agonized wail would he heard about a lost paper, and fours teen people would exclaim in one voice.

From here junior and senior reporters take over, gather information, and write up their assigned stories. Dead- lines are Friday and Monday, for jane Lindquist must then proofread the stories before .lanis headlines them. Arriving from the typesetter on Weclnesclay, the columns of print are cut apart and made up into the pages of the paper. This involves switching stories, borrowing ads, and tearing hair on the part of every editor. From here the paper finds its way to the printer and emerges as the Hnished product. Thus, in spite of lost stories, mix-ups, rain, snow, or stuck typewriter keys, the paper comes through and arrives on sched- ule in every homeroom. l.lili'l': Feature writers for the Highlights were: BACK: W.

Big things often come in small packages holds in the case of PSPO, Publication Staff Photographers Organiza- tion. Though it is tucked away in a little room at the cor- ner of third floor, powerful things often emerge. Many times this may look like just a quiet normal little room, but comes the time when a picture has to be done on-the-double. At first glance you would think someone had set off an explosion of dynamite, for you find people running in and out, around and about, all yelling and shouting. But amid all of the confusion and hubebub, no one knows when or where, but all the pictures for the Highlights and Argus are taken, developed, and printed. Master of this mess was Mr. Harvey Anderson, who calmly stood by as tempers flew, negatives were ruined, pictures lost, and everyone threatens to quit. Second semes- ter Sherwood Coul took his place. President of PSPO is Warren Conner. Vice-president and Hrst semester dark-room manager was Joanne Clark, while jointly taking over as Second semester managers were Betty Willis and Alin Fredriksen. Most of the pictures appearing in the Highlights and Argus were taken by -lack Ward and Chuck Carlson who headed the Photographers staff or Phil Skinner, their as- sistant. Football season found the photogs freezing their hands in order to capture the highlights of the game on hlm. The little heard of department of files and sales was headed by Ann Mitchell, while Shirley Allen kept the hooks, and Marian Blucher took notes at the meetings as secretary. 31 Hasn't anyone ever told Roger De Wert that curiosity once killed the cat-or could it be he doesn't know it's iust a camera! lCr2 .t F 1.1, . .

We Planned The Argus WUI' X X EDITOR ASSOCIATE EDITORS Clarice Young Bill McNamara Marian Blucher Dick Schacht Glue, rulers, paper and pencil, and plenty of midnight oil make up the working equipment for those busy but seldom heard from people-the Argus staff. Visions of possible picture arrangements, frantic worrying about not getting sections complete by the deadline, and just plain wondering what the finished product will be like are just a few of the diversions the Argus staff enjoys. In between times they can play in the picture glue, rule lines of all shapes and sizes, and track down strangely reluctant copywriters to try and recover long overdue write-ups. But, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and the same applies to the yearbook staff. On the lighter side of things you see the hard-working staff taking a threeeday journey downstate to Champaign to attend the Illinois High School Press Conference to gain ideas for the yearbook and swap plans with other high school staffs. After putting their combined wits together, the Argus and Highlights staff produced the annual publications assemblies- complete to Chinese dancers, and a singing commercial! In january they put on a talent show, Backstage Broadway, two nights before capacity crowds. And so finally, in june, the staff relaxes and wa:ches the student body pour over its work and mutilate the pages with autographs! Oh, well, it's all in a year's work.

A short business meeting starts each of these Roman gatherings followed by games and refresh ments. Perhaps you didn't realize that the Olympiz games were being run in Miss Helen Kelley's room Don't get excited, for its only the members of Latir club bringing Roman life up to date. At the Christmas party a short skit entitled A Dag Without Latin was put on by a few of the members Also featured at the party was a wide assortment ol Christmas cookies served with dixie cups. The Latir enthusiasts concluded the meeting by singing Adestc Fideles, a favorite Latin Christmas carol known tc everyone else as O Come All Ye Faithfulf' Latin Club's first semester officers were John Lind skold, president, Reita Gilbaugh, vice-president: Bol Sweeney, secretary, and Elaine Akey, treasurer.

Charlemos cerca de Charlemosf' Let's chat about Charle- mos. This year they adopted a club song, which was written and composed by a volunteer committee. The club name Charlemos as well as their song deals with Lets chat. A club scrap book, which will be sent to a Pan-American club in a foreign country, was started by club members this year as a written representative of the club's activities to be exchanged for a scrapbook from another country. Again this year the customary piflata was tied to the end of a stick and hung above the head of the attacker at the clubs annual Christmas party. After many vicious strokes the pinata still showed no sign of being broken. Finally it burst and everyone scrambled for the candy. Charlemos didn't have to look to outside help for enter- tainment, for they found all they needed within the talents of their own club. Ollicers for the year were Bonnie Greenwood, president, john D. Carlson, vice-presidentg Diane Hlavka, secretary, and Aloanne Lohman, treasurer. WWKPQQLL 'ff , 11 1: A . 5 i ,iw hw gf! 555:-viii' x, :XS ,-,ai X 5 5 , i g in H. i A 5 Q x his-hx iw -CTW .

Still in its infancy but growing stead- ily, it now boasts a total membership of 80, compared with the Z0 members of last year. Gathered together at bi-monthly meetings by a common interest in science, the club engages in a variety of activities that covers everything from picnics to lectures. The year opened with a contest that had the whole school guessing. The ob- ject of the contest was to discover what the initiates were looking for with flash- lights. Although no one discovered the tight answer, it was later revealed that the thing in question was the truth - what all true scientists search for. An autumn picnic was held in October and other outings during the year included a trip to the Museum of Natural History, a held trip to the jewett Laboratory at Rockford College and nature trips in the spring.

Founded by Mr. Robert Shumway in l928 at Central High School, the club was reorganized in l938, received its oliicial charter in l9fl5, and has been active in East High since that date. ln the early fall, candidates for membership in the Junior Engineers are inducted with a formal initiation. This year the traditional custom was followed, for one September day the hopefuls were found dressed in overalls, tee shirts, and unmatching shoes. Wlieii confronted by an old member, the inductee was obliged to kneel in front of his senior and hold a wrench above his head while reciting the club purpose. Following the day of subjection, the new members joined the old for refreshments and a discussion of the club and its plans for the new year. As the major purpose of the organization, the junior Engi- neers society was established to bring its members in closer contact with the profession of engineering and to provide a closer association between East High students who are inter- ested in engineering as a profession. ln order to qualify for membership in this club, the candi- date is required to enroll in an advanced mathematics or science course and take at least one year of industrial arts. The oiiicers for the club were john Gerbode, president, Dave Tobinson, vice-presidentg Bart Richardson, secretaryg and Roger Rathke, treasurer. -Iunior Engine:-rs intluilt-il: STANDING: ,lack Holmbeck, Emil Schadewaldt, -lohn Kull, Dave Tobinson, -lohn Gerboile, Rog Rathke, Stan Pore, Rog Ostrom, Stan Cooper, Dave Hubbard.

The purpose of the club is to teach girls how to be good homemakers in future years. This year the club obtained experts, who talked to them on different aspects of good grooming and social skills, and who gave the girls some pointers on these various subjects. Michael, a hair stylist from Weise's, a cosmetician from the Merle Norman studio, and a dance team from Arthur Murray's studio gave demonstrations to the club. The big feature of the year was the Mothers Tea, to which all members and their mothers were invited.

Rabs end first year under Sadtler Operating at the helm of the East Rabs for his first year after a successful coaching career at Lincoln junior High School was head coach, Arthur C. Sadtler. Although their unimpressive record of one win and nine defeats doesn'l look too good on the records, our determined East gridders had a poten- tially strong eleven this year. Playing such annually powerful non-confer- ence opponents as Bloom and Hinsdale in addition to seven tough con- ference games, the Rabs were able to salvage their only victory from Freeport. The Rab gridmen failed to perform satisfactorily at Beloit in the initial game of the season by losing to Beloit, 25-O. East's nemesis was in the form of Gordon Gower, quarterback for the out-of-state team, when he pitched three touchdown passes. The Sadtler men took a second bitter pill at the hands of Hinsdale in a muddy non-conference tilt in Rockford. A crafty all-state fullback by the name of Don Vena rolled up five of the six touchdowns for his team. A temporary spark provided by Bob Dobnick, East back, provided East's first tally, and a punt blocked by Nick Tabone, East lineman, added another to make a fatal total of 39-14 against the Rab eleven. The following week the Rabsters moved on to Elgin for their first con- ference attempt of the season. A pass from Langley to Squier in the third stanza chalked up the only marker for East. An effective passing attack by the Elgin Maroons backfield, composed entirely of juniors, proved to be too much for East, and the game ended in a one-sided loss for East, 31-7. Taking time out from conference chores to travel to Bloom Township, the Rab gridsters had high ideas at the end of the first half by leading 7-2 on a touchdown by Dobnick. But a concerted drive in the third quarter by Bloom made the score 15-7 in their favor, and the rest of the game was all Bloom. Bloom managed to add another two blows, finishing the game in the lead, 29-7. 48 sv- Ni 'Stay low and drive! drive! drive! are the words aimed at these Rah linemen my tht- assistant varsity foothall coaches, Frank Bohac and Steve Polaski.

Jim jordan, playing in his first game for the Rablets, passed 20 yards to end Ronnie johnson for the firs' touchdown and was on the receiving end of a four-yard pass from Ton Heflin to mark up East's second TD.

A vastly improved Rahlet team crushed West Aurora 7-0 on the Aurora gridiron on Allan Johnson's 7-yard jaunt. Playing on a snow-covered lield, the Rablets dropped the annual Exist-West soph grid classic 6-0 at Beyer Stadium. The final gun went off with the Rahlets on the Wfarrior three yard line after West had scored earlier on a pass play.

' 55 The E-Rabs opened the 1951-52 campaign with an inexper- ienced squad built around one returning letterman, Senior Bruce Lantow. With the toughest of tough schedules on the line before them, the Laudemen made their debut on the Hilltop camping grounds against a strong and veteran quintet from Mount Morris. Being a hard-fought and see-saw battle, the Mounders nosed out our hghting bucketeers in overtime, 63-62. A week later, however, the Rab cagers hit winning form to grab their first triumph of the newly-born season at Woodstock, by a 68-44 bulge. Hitting steadily on their shots the following night, the East- siders made it two in a row, as they bowled over Hinsdale to the merry note of 56-40. Coming home to play host, the Hill- toppers couldn't match Moline's depth, as the Maroons held the Rabs in check with a neat 69-56 win. Opening Big Eight league play at LaSalle-Peru, the Eastites stepped off on the right foot, as they played a miraculous second half to upset a favored Cavalier squad by two swish shots, 57-53. Paced by Guard Gene Waterfall's 20 points, the Rabs captured one for the Hilltop scrapbook, as the Laudemen swished the nets for an eye-catching 26-point fourth period. Maintaining the victory appetite, the Rabs sent Beloitys crew home disappointed the following night, while our hosts were roll- ing to an easy 66-50 victory. 5 3 I r F I i K Compiling a 6-4 Big Eight record and a 17-8 season record are the Rabs.

Resuming conference hostilities on December Zl, the West Warritmrs were just too much for our steadily improving ball- club, as hot shooting and consistent floor play handed Coach Laude's basketballers a 60-52 licking. To open the second annual Holiday Tournament, the Hill- toppers went down in the wake again. this time to Thornton of Harvey by the convincing margin of 55-yrs. The following night, however, proved to be a different story. as our host Rabs pulled an upset out of Coach Laude's sleeve with a thrilling 66-64 prize victory over a powerful Rock Island cage squad. Resuming league festivities, the first Friday in january, the Laudemen outpointed the joliet Steelmen on the home court, 52-45. Belvidere fell the next eve by almost the iden- tical score, 5l-45, at Bucdom. The Rabs took on the Bucs without the services of their veteran coach, jim Laude. Unable to erase the Pretzel home win string, the Eastmen were squashed at Kinertville, 65-42, but Rab rooters came out to the Hilltop to see their bucketballers slaughter Sterling Township a night later by 27 indentures, 60-53. West Aurora gave little trouble, as they fell down before the Hilltoppers, 47-55. as did L-P a week later for the second time during the season, 53-44.

With Coach Laude al- most ready for the reins after Coach Steve Polaski and Coach Art Sadtler had a finished a success- ful sub role for the sick varsity mentor, the E-Rabs were ready for the second East-West clash of the year. Repeating their earlier performance, the Saudargas Warriors again outshone our Rabs, this time ut the Warrior reservation. Bootsie Lantow canned 25 points, but his efforts weren't enough as the game went to the opponents, 54-55. After coasting to two straight wins East Aurora's Tomcats, 63-47, and Belvidete's once con- quered Bucs, 75-5O, the Rabs greeted Freeport's Pretzelmen with a revenge defeat, and a success- ful bid to keep the Lauditorium jinx over the Freeport boys. Our cagers nosed out the Kinert stalwarts in a slow, stalling game, 35-29. The following Friday night the Rabs made a trip to Elgin, later it turned out they were sorry they had left East that February 22. The powerful Maroons struck us down by one point in the closing seconds of the contest, thanks to Maroon Center Teddy Krumm, who squeaked out the score, 52-51, with his tip-in of a missed free shot attempt.

In their next bid for the tournament iinale, our cagers choked Harlem's Huskies out of the running with a 60-40 clincher, setting up the championship tilt with another liiist-West cross- town clash, the third of the season. As they were last year, the Laudemen were knocked from tournament play in the linale of regional play. This time the Wztrricmrs staged a last period scoring spurt to grab the game from the hands of our tired Rabs, 62-57. The Rabs led in the tilt a total of eight times.

To open the season, preparatory to the conference title scramble. the Rablets disposed of Mt. Morris. 42-54, and Woodstock, 45-55, but fell to Hinsdale, 41-40, and Moline, 45-41. They followed this unpromising start by hitting the canvas for LaSalle-Peru, 56-55, on the victors' court, in the initial loop match. After a conquest of Beloit, 54-46, the Rablets hit the conference trail again and dumped West Rockford, 41-58. Following the Christmas holidays, -Ioliet was flattened, 51-26. Belvidere took it on the chin, 40-55, the next night. Came the succeeding week, however, and disaster. A missed foul shot frustrated an opportunity to snap a 45-45 dead- lock with Freeport, and the Pretzelettes won in the sub- sequent overtime, 49-47. However, the Rablets took out their ire on undermanned Sterling Township, 54-22, on the next night. East then blasted West Aurora out of the picture, 45-26, and LaSalle-Peru's domination of the soph series with East was terminated as that club fell, 46-42. One week later, ie Rablets dropped their last contest of the campaign to the Lraves of We-st, 47-55, At this juncture, the team changed coaches. Harry Palmer, .ablet mentor for a number of years, was forced to relinquish ontrol of the team due to illness. Art Sadtler, head football oach, completed the season at the helm of the Rablets. liast Aurora was the first to face the Sadtlermen. That team ilew a seemingly insurmountable margin to lose, 52-50. Next iii the chopping block was Belvidere. who succumbed, 57-39. 'he Rablets duplicated the 57 points against Freeport for the weet revenge, as the Short Beers could score only 51. Then came the crucial matchg a chance for the Big Eight rown against lilgin, the Maroonettes were victims of a second- ialf spurt, 58-57, and the Hilltoppers gained a tie for the hampionship. ln the closing scheduled game, Lake View of Qhicago's junior team was outshot, 60-48. The annual freshman-sophomore tournament at Belvidere losed the season, the Rablets wound it up with the champion- hip of this meet. ln a preliminary round, they belted St. Vhomas, 55-l7. Sycamore tried but failed, 58-52. The rubber natch of the litist-We-st series was captured by the liast siders, Na-58. Leyden of Franklin Park blocked the path in the final ontest, and held llast even during the regulation periods, 49- L9, and in a three-minute overtime, 4-4. However. in a sud- Ien-death affair, Bill Laude, down from the varsity, paced the lablets to their second official title of the year, 55-55. These ccomplishments augur well for the future.

Swimmers Splash to Success The East Rockford swimming team this year concluded their season with a record of seven wins and three losses against a group of top- flight opponents. Though they failed to follow last year's precedent and place high in the state meet, the team, coached by Bob Allen, dunked West Rock- ford in three out of four varsity contests, and in both junior varsity meets. The East Mermen were fortihed by a number of promising sopho- more and junior swimmers who placed high against more experienced members of opposing squads. In the opening meet against a strong Waukesha combination the Rab swimmers were defeated 50-31. With a well rounded team the Wisconsin school captured the majority of points in every event ex- cept the medley relay. Facing the Rab mermen next was Peoria who was outpointed 44-31 by the Allenmen. Ed Kiltz led East with double victories in the 50 and 100 yard free style. East splashed to an exciting 41-34 victory over West the following week. Kiltz, Bob Erb, back stroker, and Wellman, in- dividual medley, took firsts for the winners. Drowning Janesville to the tune of a 59-16 defeat, the Rabs pre- pared for the big triangular meet with West and New Trier. jim Wisocki, star Rab swimmer, returned to the squad after recovering from a football injury to win the 50-yard free style. However, the overall power of New Trier proved the deciding factor and they went on to win the meet with East taking second place. 64 Keeping the Rab swimming team up to its high standards for another year was Coach Bob Allen. Faced with a re- building job this year after placing second in the state at last year's meet, Coach Allen did a fine job with this year's 5 K UPPER LEFT: Taking part in the Rah 200-yard free style relay, which placed fifth in the state were fleft to rightl Erb, Bergstrom, Kiltz, Wisocki, and Logan.

From a squad which represented East Rockford in just about the finest way possible, seven letter winners are returning to bolster this year's Hilltop thinclads. These 1952 potential Polaskimen, facing an unusually stiff schedule, will try mighty hard to equal and improve last year's out- standing record. The past seasons trackmen took the Janesville and East Rockford relays as well as the District and Big Eight conference titles. They captured all other dual and triangular meets, except the state cinder classic. The Rabs will again face such tough teams as Joliet and Elgin as well as their traditional rival, the Warriors. The returning mainstays include Henry Brown, speedy 440 and junior broad jumper, Bob Dobnick, senior 100-yard dash man, Roger Keene, flashy high and low hurdles man. Keene will be aided by major letter winner Royce Miller, last year's soph captain, in the hurdles event. Senior shot putter, Dave Lodin and Dick Propp, pole vault and high jump man are also '51 holdovers. Upper-classman Gary Squier, who throws that platter called a discus, rounds out the seven returning R men. Other potential men on the squad include senior jim Youngren, shot put and discus, and distance runner Carl Swanson, a junior. Others in- clude jerry Sheetz, Jerry Martin, Tenny Halloway, Duane Aase, Stanley Pore, Dexter Clow, John Kull, Dick Newman, and Donald johnson. Two promising lower classmen are Ronald johnson and Tom Heflin. The Rablets, sophomore thinclads, also face a good schedule which in- cludes a spot in the East Rockford relays on May 5. All varsity and sopho- more meets will be fought on the Beyer Stadium oval. Thinclads Out to Cop Twin Titles Varsity Track: BOTTOM ROW: Schneider, Martin, Gorman, Swanson, Clow, Holloway, Kull, Aase.

He will be acked by minor letter winners jim Peterson, Bruce Lantow, :hu Swenson, and Dick Schacht. Also two sophomores who ave promising qualities are Newell johnson and Harold Lar- mn. The only member not returning from last year's tournament quad is Howie Weyberg, last year's tcxtm captain. This team won the District Championship that qualified tem for the State Finals played on the new Illinois University nurse. The Rab teemen traveled to West Aurora for the Big ight Conference Championship where they lost out to West ockford, but will be back to average last years defeat. Sandy lollow will be host to the District this year while the Confer- ice meet will be played over the lilgin links. West Rockford, led by Kenny Scott, last year's District win- ner, is expected to furnish the most opposition to the Rab tee- men. Another strong team to meet the Rabs will be Freeport headed by Roger Reubendahl, brilliant junior golfer. East will face Freeport twice and the Warriors three timesg the first match being a triangular meet between the three squads at Freeport. With such potentially strong teams on their schedule, the Rabs will strive hard to equal the golf records of the past.

Thirteen contests have been scheduled, exclusive of tournament matches. Three of the aforementioned veterans are pitchers: Ralph Olson, senior, and Daryle Chipper Smith, junior, righthandersg and Paul Upstone, senior portsider. Sophomore Dale Hawkinson is yet another moundsman. To receive the slants of these hurlers are Bob Pellant and Roger Bowes, sophomores. Around the inlield can be found one letterman, junior Don Edwards, guardian of the initial sack. Paul Larson at second, Al Olson at third, and jack Loy, shortstop, complete the inner cordon. Olson is a junior, while the others are sophs. Two experienced outfielders will patrol the garden, Don Strauss, senior, and Dave Soter, junior, are award winners of last year. In the running for the remaining slot are Buster Lindsay, George Valentine, Don Lundine, Darrell Gilbaugh, and Ronnie Adams. It might be pointed out that the crop of sophomores is not completely unschooled, as most of these boys are products of the American Legion program. Last year's club started in fine style as Pat Fleming set down Aquin of Freeport on two safeties, 3-1. Woodstock bowed to the Rabs, 3-2, in another pitchers' duel, the winners being restricted to two hits. West took East, 5-4, in the first of the intracity clashes, and Belvidere duplicated the feat, 8-7. Although hitting only twice, both singles, Coach Aleks' charges edged St. Thomas 5-l, behind Chipper Smith. 70 Next came the annual twin bill with the two Madison representatives. Madison West opened the program with a win, 3-2g its east-side townsmen repeated by the same count. Vengeance was realized in a return go with Belvidere, as four Buc hurlers were battered for an ll-4 Rab victory. Scor- ing every run in the opening frame, East whipped St. Thomas again, 9-6. Belvidere turned a similar trick, confining all its scoring to the second inning but winning 7-1, to win the best-of-three series. These last two contests were part of the sub-district tournament held at Belvidere. Back to the regular schedule the Rabsox hit the trail with a late rally to knock off Hebron, 5-3. St. Thomas fell again, 4-1, to give East possession of the Tommies. A prospective 3-0 shutout disappeared when Genoa slugged the Rabs with a lead pipe in the form of five last-stanza tallies to Win, 5-3. A measure of revenge against West was taken, and so was West, 3-2. With a little more than half the season gone the Rabsox nine have compiled a won, loss record of 5-2. Wins were recorded over Belvidere, 2-l, Freeport 9-2, Madison West 6-5, St. Thomas 7-3, and Freeport again 12-3. Losses were suf- fered to West 6-5 and Madison East 9-8. Rain interfered only once so far this year as it cancelled the game with the Belvidere Bucs.

After being chosen from ten candidates by the stu- dent body to lead the Rab fans in vocal support, the sophomore and varsity cheerleaders began a tough season of whoops and HI'1lllS,-l A vital factor in football, basketball, and track. the cheerleaders add a special touch with their colorful outfits. The traditional white sweaters and emblems plus red skirts for the girls and pants of the same color for the fellows completed their fall wardrobe The accustomed red jacket with the white and black trim, identical to that of the basketball player, was traded midseason for an all white outfit, The sophomore cheerleaders kept the traditional red corduroy jumpers and white long-sleeved blouses, Sandy Barber added a new effect by throwing in a few acrobatics here and there. Veterans Marigene Bullard and Irene Miller completed their third year in the business while Helen DiTullio, following the footsteps of her sister, still has another season ahead of her. Representing the opposite sex were Tom Karahalios and Kent johnson. Practicing twice a week and performing at least once a week made a pretty full schedule for the rah- rah leaders. They certainly earned the letter they received at the end of the year. Cheerleading is a talent as well as a sport and the gals and guys cheered their hearts out at every game. Remember that close game this winter? Wlitit would we have done without the cheerleaders to make sure our support was relayed to the team? The roster of varsity cheer- 'aders was composed of Kent mhnson, Sandy Barber, lrene liner, Mari Bullard, Helen Di- ullio, and Tom Karahalios. ,e -1 .QNNKN s....x Ns.

Featuring Arabian Knights as their main activity of the year, the East High Dolphin Club under the direction of swimming coach Bob Allen made three big presentations of their annual Dolphin Show. The show was held in the East pool on the evenings ol March 20, 21, and 22. Highlighting the performance was the crowning of the Dolphin Queen and her attendants. Chosen as the high member of royalty was Marigene Bullard with Irene Miner and Mavis Carlson acting as members of her court. Dick Schacht introduced the queen and her attendants. Ken Arvidson, master of ceremonies for this year's show, acted the part of Aladdin with his magic lamp. After the rubbing of the lamp, the acts ranging from water ballets to magic appeared before the water show spectators. Dick Young and his combo provided music before the show and during the intermission. Another highlight on the club calendar is the spring picnic with Dorado, the girls' swimming organization. The twin clubs also try to arrange a Dolphin-Dorado swim during the course of the year. Officers of the club whose job it was to preside at all the meetings and share a large burden of the planning for the various club activities were: Butch Solomonson, president, Dick Brinker, vice-president, Roger Rathke, secretary, and Dave Tobinson, treasurer. 74 TOP ROW: Lundine, Streib, lidwards, Berg, Carlson, Schacht, Soter.

R Club Spell Rabmen To promote good fellowship among the varsity athletes, to take active part in the high school activities, especially those pertaining to athletics of all kinds, to be of service in any way for the good of liast high school, and to foster a wholesome atti- tude toward all of the rival schools is the purpose of the R Club, which is under the supervision of Steve Polaski. Our lettermen, besides upholding these line ideals, also be- came a hard working organization during the winter and spring seasons. They guide spectators to their seats during Rab basket- ball games and have the same function when various professional or special teams appear in the East high gym. During the school year the monogram winners hold fun nights for their members, during which the pool and gym facil- ities are put to good use. Besides this they have a huge picnic in the spring and hold their informal dance in March.

This was the season when the nights were either very warm or else jack Frost was ready to nip our noses. Many a night we would have enjoyed a swim in some cool, soothing pool, but later on the nights grew cold and forced us to finish the tournament playing line soccer in the girls' gym because of the heavy snowfall in November's first week. Also in November we had our annual color sale at the pep rally for the Iiztst-West football battle. For weeks girls had been preparing the streamers and making pom-poms to sell. The print shop boys helped us out by printing headbands to supplement our treasury. December swiftly rolled around and brought with it the beginning of the volleyball contest. We had such a large turn- out for the first winter sport that we used twelve teams with I5 or I6 members on each team. We continued this sport until the first of March before it faded out of the picture to make way for the basketball sixes. Much hard work and detailed planning resulted in the huge success of the Frontier Frolicf' the fourth annual carnival. Committees were formed and work was begun in Ianuaryg the merry event took place in the cafeteria after the East- lielvidere basketball tilt. Net profit was the grand total of 322620. Put together a group of eager sophomores with lots of team spirit, add a variety of skills, and the sum gives the class volleyball champs.

The reting had a serious purpose to instill in its members, the eaning of the club and its constitution. As spring blew in, so did the annual GAA mother-daughter .nquet. And linally came May 26, the day of the GAA vards assembly. We all had been waiting impatiently for it, ice it meant for many of us the receiving of our first award. mr a few others it meant that we were to receive our final AA award here at the hilltop school where we had worked id played with so many other GAA friends. When all was fer but our memories, we realized what a wonderful year we id enjoyed in the best athletic club of all, GAA.

Other things that help to make a winning team are good guarding, accurate shooting, and fast floor-work. Captains are chosen for their dependability, good sportsmanship, and their knowledge of the rules. This year teams were named tfter diseases, such as the Polioettes, the Strep-throaters, etc. Six rounds of hard play made up the tournament.

Although the Drill Team members do not receive letters for their work, as do the rifle team, they are distinguished by the black and white citation braid and the red patch they wear on their right shoulders. The varsity squad, while not having such a strenuous training program, put in just as much time as those participating in regular sports while working out smooth and sharp-looking movements. The nine men who were chosen for their appearance and ability to make up the varsity team performed under the lead- ership of Cadet Lieutenant George Burke during the half of the East-West football clash, despite adverse weather conditions. Spectators later saw the same squad strut their stuff in the annual Memorial Day parade, Also included on their list of exhibitions was a performance at Lincoln junior High.

CO PAYA An important part of the ROTC work is the classes with which every cadet is familiar. First year cadets are given training in hrst aid, military organization and courtesy, marksmanship, weapons, drill, and exercise of command. Seniors and juniors have much the same schedule with the addition of small unit tactics and map-reading. An addition to East's ROTC equipment this year was a sand table, which was used to illustrate tactical operations. Cadets must appear neatly attired in uniforms for all company meetings, and occasional formal inspections check the condition of the rifle as well as the uniform.

These recordings were featured over and over again at school gatherings, on home machines, and on WIND's 560 Club. The styles did not change much this year, aside from the fellows being robbed of an- other fad by the girls, white bucks! The same desired cashmere sweater was still dreamed of by the gals, but was set of? by a medallion, usually the bigger the better. The straight skirt, bobby socks, and suede shoes with flaps were a must for most girls, including Mavis Carlson below. For the fellows there was nothing as smart for that special date as gray flannel slacks and a long-sleeved sweater with contrasting tie and argyles, which seemed to be a big hit with Bob Dobnick, also. .Y fiff ifzifw 101' al 'A ,D-'sf H1 lil? j O 1. 3.1 , 0 5 .W sf I X 1-J if r Fads, Fashions, and Fun il .ay Y 25564 E i 1 Q One of the fads which vsas xxoln by thc boys fo: thc Rotkfotd Ccntcnni il is pittuicd abou bw lefty M it R 'd Anglcy, Mr. Arthur Satrc, 1 lk r. ,ti in Resthlein, 92 llitlx YUllIlj1'5UlkllL'5lI'tl tonsisted ol Dale -lohnson, Wftiyiie VUL-lwer, -liin Buell, ,hula Youngquist, Disk llollinitn, and lim lieers, .uid was enioyt-il hy the lzztstites ut alter g.une parties und the 'llilent Show.

V , 8 Y given January 24 and 26. The final act, David G. Anderson turned out to be the first place winner in both performances. In his interpretation of a concert pianist, he did everything from playing music upside down to discovering a mouse in the piano case. Taking second place honors was Ronnie Bartmann who wanted to play house with Mona Larson. Ronnie played the guitar and sang I Wrlnt to Play House with You while Mona listened with pleasure and accom- panied him on the accordion. Kent Johnson and Lucille Pottinger took the third place spot with their rendition of Vile Never Talk Much. The audience got the inside dope on how to put on a Broadway play in one easy lesson. Their view, however, took in only the backstage, trunks, wardrobe racks, dressing tables, mops, brooms, and Hats as Dick Schacht fussed and fumed in his role of director and master of ceremonies. Dick's cast included a variety of talent ranging from can-can dancers, classic piano num- bers, cornet and marimba solos, to vocal and dance routines. As portrayed, the tinal dress rehearsal of the Broad- way musical went over with flying colors, and we hope that the performance in the make-believe future brought orchids from the critics. But let us not forget that Mozart is dead! May his ridiculed soul rest in peace. The silver icicles and colored ornaments, which hung on the seniors' tree in the main corridor, and which are being admired by Dorothy johnson, Donna Anderson, and Gary johnson, were added to the memories of the class of '52, 94 vu.. --.-. x f R , f' 0 , T VS Q if S ' -2 L 'Q Q . 7 an f' V Y M A . it lffiz ii mong the many formal and semi-formal dances at East tis year was the AISI..

Muth, our former principal. We said goodbye to our principal The day that we close East's doors for the last time and then slowly turn to look at the imposing structure will come too quickly for us. No doubt on that day each Rab will recall the fun, the work, and the friends at East. Individual reminiscences will be differ- ent, but the memory of Harry C. Muth is bound to remain in the minds of every student, faculty member, and school employee. Wlretlier his friendship, guidance, sincere smile, or Assembly dismissed is the basis for the memory, everyone has reason to cherish thoughts of our former principal. Mr. Muth was East's first principal, and it was through his continuous interest, concern, and feeling of responsibility for liasts success that the school on the hilltop's good reputation became established throughout Illinois and the surrounding area. Last fall Mr. Muth retired because of ill-health - thus ending his forty-one year teaching career and his eleven years at East, Mr. Muth's teaching career began when Wliat college do you plan to attend? he was sixteen after he graduated from the Assembly is dismissed. nr high school in Poseyville, lndiana. He later attended the University of lndiana. Since he came to Rockford in l9l9, he has played an important role in our educational pro- gram, acting as principal of Barbour, Roose- velt, Lincoln, and East. Besides taking an active interest in Rock- ford's education, Mr. Muth has participated in various civic organizations and affairs, and has become a well-known, respected, and admired citizen of our city, a citizen of whom we at East High are mighty proud. Witli his vast knowledge of world affairs, his humble attitude, and sincere interest in the welfare of others, Mr. Muth is sure to succeed in whatever he may do, and he may feel certain that East High students, past and present, will always cherish their mem- ories of him-a true friend and constant helper. 98 Ill iw i4 Ei1i Mr. Welsh was welcomed a Principal ' 'habla Wfilliam R.

The students, their teachers, the fun, and the serious concentration and thought shown-all these make up East. Each class officer in his or her own way repre- sents a part of East that is very necessary in its being. Lois Sharron stands for high scholastic standards and for the friendliness shown by East in welcoming a newcomer. Ken Arvidson symbolizes the favorite band boys and the good all-around fellows at East, while short, curly-haired, smiling johnny Lindskold typifies the gayety and joviality shown by the stu- dents as they enjoy three of the best years of their lives. Bruce Lantow represents the excitement of sports and other extra-curricular activities. Mr. Erb, senior class adviser, stands for the effort given by East's faculty to guide students through their high school career. The students conferring with him recall to mind the honest effort on the part of East's students to earn the education they receive. These things prove that the class of '52 is deserving of belonging to East and that this senior class sym- bolizes the true spirit which is East. to find man things changed IONSTANCE ACHILLI ,R Sec. 23 Science, Sec. 3, Treas. 43 Junior Glee AIQ Puh. 2, 5, 4: I'TA 2,543 AA 2.5.43 ISC 53 Stud.

The sophomore class oiicers, Bob Pellant treasurer Rosie Rathke secretaryg Bill Laude, president, and Tom Heflin, vice president, discuss the plans for the sophomore class over a coke The officers were in charge of Sophomore Parents' Night, Vocational Speakers, and the Sophomore Miss Needham starts Sophs out to Three Five hundred and eighteen of us, bewildered and frightened, entered the doors of East High School in September, 1951. At first we felt as though we were lost in the crowds, but soon we began to learn our way around the school. After becoming adjusted to the new surroundings at East, we had our first class meeting and elected Bill Laude, Tom Hefiin, Rosetta Rathke, and Bob Pellant as our class officers, president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. Miss Needham, our class adviser, was always available when we needed help. We unburdened on her all our problems, which she accepted and solved as she guided us through the year. Some of us were active in sports, others excelled in leader- ship, scholarship, and activities, but we all added a little some- thing that made our class complete. In their red jumpers and white blouses, Betty Powers, Loretta Temporali, Rae Ann Patterson, and Rosetta Rathke led the cheers at the sophomoze games. On April 18, we donned our party clothes and headed for our hrst class party at East High. And now as we end our sophomore year, we look beyond these doors and are eager to start one of the biggest years in school-our junior year. .f4' 'fi-B PP ROXV: Don Sears, Ditk Iiildfihl, jerry Schmallng, Roger H ohnson, john Bill R y SI I R an III I ohnson THIRD ROW joanne Vintcr Delores nthtr Silly Bolton Ivx Br in Ienhuri., C harlotte Vanderwall lla Boldoek Faith Luke OND ROW AI Sttlgwitk Ditk Benson Robert L johnson Marvin Ketchum get llood, WiIIi'li11 lisher, Rohert Fleming.
