DON'T FLINCH; DON'T FOUL: HIT THE LINE HARD
ALUMS HOLD REUNION
Charlestoning to a jazzy beat—the
alums from the East High graduating class of 1920—recently held a
reunion at the Municipal Auditorium
after five years on their own in the
big. wide world.
George Linger drew up in front
of the auditorium in his new Pierce
Arrow, surrounded by girls. What
female could resist a car like that?
In raccoon coat, Dick Brown and
Gene Zelinger were dressed in the
highest male fashion, and the sexless lines of the dresses of Val
Freshman and Carol Senechal demonstrated what women were wearing this year.
To entertain the alums, Phil Sterling displayed his goldfish swallow-

smooth flavor! The flying legs of
Helene Ross, Marilyn Miller, John
Edgar and Ed Dierdorff demonstrated the newest Charleston steps;
Rodger Parrett, Ronnie Gotling, Jon
Weigardt, Bill Hein, Dave Jackson
and Jim Wilber in the jazz band
played such favorites as "My Girl
Is a Different Kind" and "Papa
Isn't Home Tonight." Bob Levy and
Karen Goldstein demonstrated their
top Bunny Hug form.
Carl Baker watched all the goings
on from a 20-foot rod. He never
quite got over being champion flagpole sitter.
The orator, Rich Shore, reminisced about the memorable events
of his high school days, carefully
including all the points of declamation Mrs. Genevieve Kreiner had
taught him.
The marathons were the most popular activity. Lynne Halpern and
Vonnie Names held the record for
talking. They didn't stop once in
four days. Joe Wood was the winner
of the sleeping marathon. He didn't
wake up for 17 years. The All-state
team of George Welch and Don
Shwayder took the roller skating
championship that season.
Sandy Kean, Ellen Horwich, Lin-
dy Lay, Kay Hinman, Patty Stitt
and Clarice Van Name recalled
when their bobbed hair almost got
them expelled from school. They
caused the scandal of the year.
Prominent attendants at this reunion included engineer, Mr. James
Ogilvie, with his wife, the former
Fran Glather; and department store
head, Charles Forest Delzell, and
the former Joanne Grimes. Jerry
Roseman was accompanied by his
children, all 12 of them.
RED AND WHITE DAY
Elaborate plans for the first annual Red and White Day of East
high, under the sponsorship of Miss
Betty Sparhawk and Fred V. Ticen.
are nearing completion as the date
set for the big event, May 19, approaches.
This celebration replaces Slouch
Day which has been held until now.
On this day the students wore old
and baggy clothes and funny costumes. About noon everyone simply
got up and walked out. To prevent
this, Red and White Day has been
set aside this year.
All the students will be asked to
wear red and white. A best-dressed
boy and girl will be chosen from
each home room to compete for the
points offered. Rumor has it that
J ere (the sheik) Cummins and Katie
(the flapper) Bowes will be the two
to beat. These points will go to the
three classes, counting toward the
silver loving cup awarded to the
class gaining the most points.
After this judging there will be
nothing until 2 p.m. when a boys'
and girls' track meet will be held.
Because lettermen cannot compete,
this leaves trackmen, Wells, Writer,
Knight and Langan, out of the running. Andrea Jelstrup and Nancy
Palm are expected to sweep the
girls' field. Following the track
meet, gunnysack and three-legged
races will take place. Judy Orr and
John Edgar are favored in the
latter event.
The culmination of the festival
will be a "jitney" dance in the boys'
gym with Chuck Bennett and his
"Charleston Charmers." Here the
May Queen will be crowned, and
she will present the loving ? cup to
the class earning the most points.
GARDEN CLUB PARTIES
An ice cream social in honor of
the winners of the annual Flower
Fair, held by East's Garden Club,
was given in the home of Miss Dona
Shwayder last Tuesday evening.
Winning first place for her pink
peonies was Miss Herbetta Pingree,
who blushingly accepted the Blue
Ribbon. Runner-up was Miss Billie
Kemper, who entered a lovely display of tulips and heather.
In the table decorations division,
the first prize went to Miss Honey
Erickson for her striking display of
violets, cattails and St. Augustine
grass.
Honorable mentions went to
Misses Georgia Linger, Michele Roberts, Joan Madison, and Lotta Carr.
STUDENT COUNCIL
Aside from flapper dresses, racoon coats and Model T cars which
have been haunting us since this
reckless period of the roaring '20s
began, one of the most important
items concerning East's Angels now
is the organization of the student
council this year, 1925!
Mrs. Violette McCarthy, a very
terrific flapper, became sponsor of
the council, which consists of eight
seniors, six juniors and four sophomores, in September. Under her
leadership it has become a helpful
and valuable organization in the
school.
At weekly meetings the student
council works hard to promote our
welf are!
John Edgar, Charleston champ of
the year, suggests that social hours
be held daily to reduce tardies. At
this time jazz music will be played,
gum-chewing permitted and corners
provided for "makin' whoopee"!
A deadly problem, brought to the
council's attention by Bob Levy, is
the fact that students are being expelled from school for talking in
class without permission and for
tardies! "Gee whiz!" said Bob,
"something just has to be done
about it!"
The new constitution recently ratified by the council was written by
Carol Senechal, Audrey Meer, Tom
Inman and Sergi Djatschenko. In its
introduction it states that, in order
to be law-abiding (ah, heck!) citizens of tomorrow, East students
must have a voice in their school
government today!
"Something must be done to enforce the honor system in study
halls!" declared Don Shwayder enthusiastically. And it was immediately agreed that something wou'd
be done! But the plan has not yet
been announced!
Hot dog, kiddo! It's a great council! Keep it up!
