An answer is therefore demanded to the ..age-old question ``What's in a name?" The name "Angel," once spoken in derision, now symbolizes tlie niost precious possession of any boy or girl, namely, be wol.thy of the responsibility it signifies. It often happens t,liat a name given in a spirit of raillery comes to have the deepest and most powerful significance. "Angel" is associated with the purest •types of endeavor., whether in scholastic work or in any field of competition for -the glory o±. East. Because, in clays long ..gone by, the efforts of East i+-ere crowned with an unusual amouiit of success, the name "Angel" was applied in a derogatory manner, implying that with all this success would come a figurative trip in tlle clouds, witb its subsequent fall back to the land Of reality. But in a larger and I.inei. sense, in its true form, "Angel" conveys the spirit of lofty aspiration coupled with pure and spotless application. Harry Shubart. 6 �Foreword The purpose of this booklet is to give to those interested in East High School some notion of the spirit, ideals, and objectives of our school.

From this building we may see from the Wyoming Ila,ramies well nigh to the Spanish Peaks ~a hundred miles of the unbroken front of a mighty mountain range. To the east-the arc of this mountain chord--is the graceful curve of the horizon. Following the streams are broad bands of for.tile fields. \Tearer are the temples man has builded; many to the gods of his business activities; some to the invisible God and for the betterment of men. Closer still are the softer beauties of the park and esplanade. Thus set about with the wonder of God's handiwork and encircled, by the fruits of man's toil, stands the new East, an enduring monument to the civic aspirations of this community. What is it that is now so nobly housed? A spiritual edifice, a house not inade with hands, a structure of ideas and ideals, ideals of. conduct, of scholarship, of beauty, of culture, of sacrifice, of service; an in9 �stitution whose office it is to beat back the blight of ignorance and push far the frontiers of knowledge. Truly, East is on high ground. Whence came the elements of this spiritual structure? Of an institution it is sometimes said that it is but the lengthened shadow of one man. Not so, of East. Among the units of this complex, we needs must count the community ul.ge, which has sought for itself better things; the efforts of hundreds of teachers, who have given unstinted service. Four men have contributed most; Baker, Smiley, Barrett, Hill are names which should hereabouts be graven in stone. Denver has not stinted the measure with which she built the material structure ---neither did they stint in expenditure ot. learning, of love, of sympathy, of enei.gy; these have made East a mighty force in the upbuilding of character. Each brought his generous share to the erection of the spiritual edifice which is the real habitant of this building. Each has given and given generously of the best that God gave him. From all directions and from many lands come the tributes of praise for the services these men have rendered. Of a truth, East is on high ground. -Dorus R. ®Hatch. 10 �YOUR OPPORTUNITY The first lesson you must learn is that an education canot be given you, it mattei.s not how ardently your parents may desii.e it. It is a goal to be attained thl.ough individual effort, and it is a-task long and difficult. The past has revealed no easy road to achievement. Work, hard and continuous, is the only course that i`-ill insure growth and development of your powers. Charge your being with the thought that Work is your good friend and not something to be avoided. You have an opportunity in high_ school to, arrange a schedule of studies that will prepare you for any college in the country. These subjects have a value in themselves and should be thoroughly mastered by a definite program of home and school study. You will find the knowledge thus acquired can be turned to account as you go on in the world, but the habits of mind and body formed from your study will be of more real value. If you acquire habits of promptnessr industry, and\ dete.rmination in the I ace of difficult assignments, if you learn to be accurate in statement an3¢ honest in thought and work, 11 -==--I-iirf-i-.I-+i-i--i--- �you will find such qualities of highest value in the struggle of life. 8© loyal to your school~faithful, cheerful, and co-operative in relations with teachers and fellow students. From every standpoint it pays to be respectful and courteous. Habits of politeness which lead us to respect others' rights, privileges and feelings will go far towards smoothing the path of life and in securing a good measure of success. Roscoe C. Hill. "What do we need to keep the nation whole, To guard the pillars of the State? We need The fine audacity of honest deeds; The homely old integrities of soul; The swift temerities that take the part Of outcast right-the wisdom of the hear.t. We need the Cromwell fire to make us feel The common burden and the public trust To be a thing as sacred and august As the white vigil where the angels kneel, We need a faith to go a path untrod, The power to be alone and vote with God." ~Edwin Markham. 12 �HAST HIGH SCH00Ij AP`TTHHM _-_ Tune-"America the Beautiful" 0 beautiful is our' East High, The hope and dream of years; Our love we bring, thy pl.aise we sing, Thy builders we revere.

True nobility is to serve mankind. SHAL AND SHIHIID The seal and the shield for our high school were designed by the Art Department during the year 1925-26. For the design we 'are indebted to Ramon MCLain, supervised by Miss Estelle Stinchfield, teacher of art. The interpretation or significance will be included in the senior ceremonial. 14 �CREED As a student of East High School, I believe in "An Aristocracy of Service." I believe that only those who serve, live. I believe that I can attain this ideal only: As I learn self control, As I-keep my mind and body clean, As I am open minded, honest, fair in thought, word and deed, As I am sociable, courageous and dependable, As I am t.olerant, conceding to everyone the right to his opinion, As I respect law in my school, in my home, and in my community, As I develop in myself an appreciation for the finer' things of life. I believe it is my duty to develop my possibilities and to be the self that God intended. I believe I can do this only as I find myself in service to others. _ Above all, I believe that character and contentment in service are the best test of success*: and that in achieving these, by serving as I would be served, I shall be a true` citizen of East High and of my country. 15 �IDEALS The ten ideals enumerated below were chosen by vote of the student body of East High School as the ideals they deem most esesntial in the chat.acter building of boys and girls: Honesty-A sense of honor shown in conduct, in speech, and in straight-forward dealing; sincerity; fairness; truthfulness with one's self and others. Courtesy-An affable, kindly, polite way that makes life easier and lovelier; acts of kindness performed with poll,teness. Sportsmanship-Love for fair play; winning honorably, losing gracefully; "When the great scorer comes To write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost, But how you played the game." Co-operation-Willingness to woi.k with others for the good of all; team-work; helping; boosting; doing one's part. Ambition-Industry; desire to progress and a willingness to work to that end; steady attention to business; habitual diligence in any pursuit; pride in doing things well"Keeping the mind on one's task, not on one's self." Cleanliness-A clean mind and a clean body; good health; strict adherence to our own best thoughts, impulses, and tendencies ; Self-control-Mastery of self ; restraint; 16 �modesty; calmness; self command; tem- PerTarnucsetir::Fhc±ennetsrsat]in. worthy of the "trust" or confidence that is placed in one. Ability to answer for one's conduct or obLf8#±±?1:io*°erbLipdeerps::tde:tLee;. sticktoitiveness; ability to overcome difficulties; ability to direct one's energies. Respect for authority~Reverence and 1.espect for our superiors. Reverence for law; an appreciation of the accomplishment or knowledge of others; regard for leadership; intelligent obedience. Since the days of Benjamin Franklin it has been recognized that character build+ ing, or training of one's self for the best things of life, is not accomplished except by a systematic effort and a definite program. We boys and girls of high school know that we are learning many things not recorded on the report cards. Habit makes or mars character. The wasted study hour, the borrowed problems, tbe grade not honestly won, the undirected energy, all these things tell on the wrong side of the balance. Edmund Burke once wrote to Benjamin Franklin: "When prodigious things are to be done how carefully men are prepared and chosien for the doing." As we build these ten desirable qualities firmly into our school life, we are surely preparing for the tasks ahead of us by doing squarely the tasks of today. 17 �WOMHN'S FIELD Woman's field has always been one of service--service in the home, in the school and in the church; now that her horizon is broadening and other and still other fields of service are opening for her, you, dear girls of today, should have the forward look, so that your preparation will make you the women of tomorrow that you will wish to be. MYRTA 8. PORTER, Dean of Girls. 18 �WHAT HAST Owns YOU IEast High School owes you three years of development which will make you able to enter college fully 'prepared to carry your work there or to enter business life and make good. But you will have to collect what East owes you by giving to her the best that is in you. During your three years at East you should have such a quality of scholarship that you will really have a foundation for living the broadest life now and after high school days. If you have definitely decided where you are going to college, plan your course consistently for entrance to that institution. If you have no definite plans for college, plan your course so that you may enter the average standard university. Do not choose a subject because you believe it will be easy, but because you believe that subject will better prepare you for a worth while manhood or womanhood. If you do not contemplate going to col1ege, take advantage of the many courses which the school of fers to prepare. for business or commercial life. Almost every student will find time to taker advantage of some of East's cultural courses-art, music, literature, public speaking, dramatics, home making, clothing construetion, manual arts, etc. 19 ;*`.t`.?.:.`;;*:.:¥r>::..+3.±t �Keep up your scholarship so that no good university can turn down your application for admission or so that you will •nevel. be ashamed to give your high school as a reference. East has every opportunity for physical development. Gymnasium classes are offered hourly. Classes for those needing physical correction or rest and nutrition are given to all who need or desire these things. All branches of high school sports are open to everyone. Try out for your favorite sport~you may not make the first team but you can help by being on a second team or on an inter-class or an inter-room team. East has many clubs covering all fields of interest to young people. Join a club or two which really interests you and then work intensely there. Learn to carry responsibility and be a dependable leader in your class or club. The woi.1d needs leaders in all fields-the best way to prepare for later leadership is by being a leader now. If you do your best each day, you can leave your high school life behind you with' a scholastic foundation of which you are proud, with the friendships of classmates and teachers which you will value always and with a confidence in your ability to cope with the problems of life.

Carl Schurz. 21 �STUDHNT ORGANIZATION It is recognized that the best way to train future citizens is to recognize tha`t students are now citizens of the school; that they have definite obligations and responsibilities; that as they co-operate with the faculty in school affairs, they are assuming the responsibilities of this citizenship.

The business of the organization is conducted by an executive committee consisting of a Head Girl who is a senior, efle.cted by all the girls of the school, three seniors, thl.ee junior, and two sophomore girls, elected by the girls of their respective classes. The League assists the Dean of Girls in all possible ways. It helps to create a high mol.ale among the girls. Another important function is the Organization of the Big Sisters which assists new girls in becoming adjusted to the school. The League has two or three social functions each year for the girls of the school. This year a Mother and Daughter Day was held. These and numerous other services constitute the activities of the All Girls League. 26 �A man in public life-if he looks on his office as a mere instrument to give him power and glory-is only an empty shell. But if he keeps his petty ego suppressed and looks on his office as an opportunity to serve the people, to establish justice, to increase good will, then his office becomes an altar of righteousness, a hiding place of the Almighty. Hdwin Markham. 27 �CLASS ORGANIZATION The senior class is organized in the early fall, and the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer are elected by a popular vote of the class, each holding office for the school year. The president is a member of all standing committees of the Senior Class. The vice-president performs the duties of the president when the latter is unable to carry them out himself. The duties of the secretary are to preserve the minutes of every class meeting and keep a general rcord of all business of the class. The treasurer takes charge of class finances. The Sophomore and Junior classes are organized similarly. SHNI0R CLASS ACTIVITIES The social activities of the Senior Class are given their first impetus for the year by the Hallowe'en Costume Party. which is an annual affair. This is one of the most colorful and gorgeous spectacles of the year with the high school ballroom (transformed lunch room) cr,owded with couples dressed in all the fantastic array inspired by the gnomes of t/he Hallowed Eve. 28 �This gala event is followed by the Senior Field Day. At the field day the class is divided into four teams, each one representing a college. These teams com-` pete in indoor field events. The All-School Party, sponsored by the Senior Class, comes next in point of time. This is the olne Senior event of the year to which the entire school is invited. The principal event of the year is the Senior `.`Prom", held in the late spring. This is the event on the social calendar of the Seniors. As graduation approaches, the social hour for the Seniors, the Class play, the Senior Picnic, the day when the Seniors throw off their cares and studies and :rnoE±c th±en stehne±or gr8::ss opDeany S#::£ consists of a private luncheon for the Seniors at which prominent people of the city are invited to speak, come in rapid succession. The grand finale of high school life is the never-to-be-forgotten Commencement Day Exercises. These exercises are held in the City Auditorium the last day of the school year. In addition to the social activities of the Seniors, the Senior Class publishes annually a year book which goes under the cognomen of the "Trail Blazer." The "Angels Guide" is also sponsored by the Senior Class. 29 �Bring me men to match my mountains; Bring me men to match my plains, Men with empires in their purpose, And new eras in their brains.

If you are, choose your subjects so that you will have the correct number and the right kind of credits to meet the entrance requirements of the college you wish to attend. Look in the catalogue of the college that you have chosen and see its entrance requirements. If you have not a catalogue of the college you hope to attend, send for one immediately. Pupils planning to enter an Eastern college must take College Board Examinations on their subjects. See the Dean of Girls or the Dean ot Boys about this matter. 30 RES-L^ -+E7?, �Er\tTRANCF, REOulREMENTs FOR cOLLEGEs I.\T cOLORAI]0 1925-1926 SAVE TIIIS FOR FUTURH REFBRENCE REQUIRED SUBJECTS Universit,y U.

I 32 �CO-OPHRATH Tardiness Tardiness disarranges the entire system of any organization. Punctuality is essential in business, in life, everywhere. School is the business of the students. Parents are urged to co-operate with the school in seeing that boys and girls are on time. It is very important in the work of the School that the study hall or the class room be not disturbed by late students. Tardiness is penalized. Be on time. Those who are late report for slips to admit them to class or study, boys at the box office and girls to Miss Porter through Room 202. After 8:45 all students report to the office. Smohing Smoking is strictly prohibited on the school grounds. It is a violation of the rules of the Board of Education for any person to smoke "about" ,the school premises. The word ``about" must be interpreted as being in such proximity to the building that the student may be identified as a pupil of this school. Since such conduct produces a harmful impression of our school, it should be the privilege of every student of East to guard the good name of the school. 33 �IJibl.ariy The Library is open to all students for reference work. Four attendants are in charge at all times, and will rgive all necessary information and help regarding reference work. To visit the Library, one must obtain two slips from the teacher for whom the work is to be done. One slip is left with the study hall teacher, and the other is taken to the Library. Student co-operation is essential if all are to receive the best results from the time spent in the library. Silent study is very necessary. If consultation is desirable, there are two rooms provided for this purpose, and permission will be granted by the librarian if the teacher desires the conference. The library is already the pride of East. Let us build such a tradition in the use of it that the great opportunities that await us there will be realized by all. Halls The visitorrr gets his first, and often his strongest, impression of our school from our halls. Our conduct here should be marked by good breeding, thoughtfulness of others, and real school spirit. Running and sliding are dangerous, and are not permissible. There is ample time for everyone to reach his destination without any violent exertion. 34 `=ffi-#f ` �Our halls should be clean and orderly at all times. It is the drity of EVERY STUDENT to co-operate in having our halls in keeping with best that East stands for. Hall permits will be signed by the teacher, if it is necessary for the student to pass during the school periods. No permission- will be given students to go to lockers for "forgotten materials." The workman must provide himself with his tools. There are two reasons other than your own training involved: it is the only possible way that your property can be protected, and it is necessary not to disturb classes that are in progress. Auditorium The Auditorium is used for class meetings, concerts, all-school assemblies, lectures, and similar functions. The Auditorium periods are not social hours; the best order and attention is expected. Those who come to speak to us are our guests, and we must not forget that they are entitled to our most courteous consideration. Our Auditorium is difficult for the speaker, and if we help to make the auditorium period a success we must exercise great self control. Our school is judged by our conduct. Let us show our school spirit and our school pride by keeping the name of East above criticism. 35 �Cafeteria The Cafeteria is on the fourth floor. Enter through the SIDE DOORS. You may bring your lunch or buy it, but you are asked to eat it in the lunch room. You are requested to return your tray of dishes and waste paper to the window at the south-east end of the cafeteria. This co-operation between students and those in charge of the lunch room is necessary because of the limited time and the large number to be served. You should then remain on the fourth floor until the bell rings, as classes are in session and must not be disturbed. The roof garden is open- to you after you have eaten your lunch. Respectful conduct is expected in the cafeteria. Let your home training be properly reflected here. The allotment of students to each lunch period is determined by the number of pupils and the subjects taken. During the lunch period all students must remain on the fourth floor: The roof gardens are open and the pupils are permitted to go out of doors if they please. You are not required to buy your lunch at the school. You may bring your lunch or go home if you live nearby and present a written excuse to the office. There is only one lunch room. The halls and rooms of the building are not 36 �included in the lunchroom, so do not consider them so. The cafeteria is a lovely, clean wholesome place to lunch. It is the second largest room in the building. At the beginning of each lunch period, the waiting lines are formed on both sides of the room; along the windows. Each person should take a tl.ay and pass as quickly as possible along the serving counters. Have your change ready and pay as you pass the desks in the center. All implements necessary to successful eating are on a table in the middle. Pupils may sit anywhere they please except in the teachers' lunch room, on windowsills` tables, etc. It is the pride of East Denver to maintain a spirit of home, a spirit of order in the lunchroom. This is a place to which visitors are often brought, and invited to share with us. Substitutes When a substitute comes to our building, she should receive the most courteous treatment and the best of co-operation. The chairman of the class should step forward, inquire her name and .introduce her to the class. He can I urther assist by explaining the work that is being done and by giving her the assignment. The secretary should take the roll for her. The entire class should co-operate in making the 37 �period profitable and pleasant. The reputation of our school depends on our conduct at all times. Absences Nothing interferes with the progress of a student's work in school more than irregularity of attendance. A student should not be absent, therefore, unless for. very serious reasons. If the student is absent, he must present at the office a written excuse signed by his parent or guardian. The excuse which he obtains at the office must be shown to the teacher of every class fro\m which the pupil has been absent. The student must not forget that if he is absent one or two periods, that is, if he is not here at 8:30, he must go to the office for a slip before going to his next class. The greatest gift that a man can give to his friends is himself at his best. Harry IEmerson Fosdick. Twelve Tests of Character. "The whispering students of today become the village gossips of tomorrow." 38 ---i: �ACTIVITIES The matter of importance is not the place a man fills, but how he fills itnot even the achievement of his life, but the spirit of his life. Edwin Markham. }39 �Physical Education Physical education is compulsory for freshmen and sophomoi.es with two-fifths of a credit given for each year's work. Under the supervision of the physical instructors for boys, the inter-class, interclub and homeroom athletics are played. Every fellow that is not proficient enough to make a school team has a chance to take part in all sports by placing himself on one of these class, club, or homeroom teams. The coach is assisted in his work with the school teams by the instructors of physical education. Health Progr'am One objective in education, and a very important one, is health. By slow growth there has been built up in our school a definite health program. This year a full physical examination was given at East. A doctor was retained by the school board who examined the eyes, ears, throat, lungs, heart, skin, posture, nutrition, and feet of each pupil. If some defect was found, the doctor advised the pupil to see his family physician, or if the defect was minor., the pupil was urged to aid in the corrective work. Corrective classes for posture and for weak feet for both boys and girls are included in the school curriculum. Regular nutrition classes have been or40 �g.anized this year I or g.irls who are under- weight, as it is recognized that rest and nourishment are just as important for those who need it as exercise in the gymnasium is for others. Therefore, girls who belong to `the nutrition classes get a physical education credit for it. Regular rest periods and additional nutrition are prescribed at school and a regular schedule is followed at home. Each girl must check herself daily on 10 points, some of which are: drink at least two cups of milk daily, do not drink tea or coffee, have nine to ten hours sleep every night. Later nutrition classes will be organ- --- ized for boys as well as girls. The Code of Honor of a Sportsman is that : He keep the rules. He keep faith with his comrade, playing the game for his side. He keep himself fit. He keep his temper. He keep from hitting a man when he is down. He keep his pride under, in victory. He keep a stout heart in defeat, accepting it with good grace. He keep a sound soul and a clean mind in a healthy body. *From "The Sportsman," endorsed by Coach Schweiger. 41 1 �Athletics Let us stand by our duties fearlessly and effectually. I am not bound to win, But I am bound to be true! I am not bound to succeed, But I am bound to live up to the light I have. Abraham Lincoln. East is a member of the Delrver-Boulder League composed of the five Denver high schools and Boulder Pr'ep. The athletics of this league are under the supervision of a Board of Control composed ~of a representative from each school. This Board makes the schedules and decides all questions concerning the high school athletics. There are four major sports and one minor sport which are competitive at the present time. Four more minor sports have been adopted and will be made competi.tive as soon as plans are formulated. The major sports are football, basketball, baseball, and track with tennis as the minor competitive sport at the present time. The four new sports are swimming, golf, boxing, and wrestling. For eligibilty in any of these different sports the participant must be getting a passing grade in three subjects, and must have passed in three subjects the previous semester. He must not have attended 42 �high school nlore than nine semesters and must not be twenty-one years of age. Any pupil in high school may take part in these sports if he is physically fit and observes the above rules. Each one who tries out for a team is given a fair trial by the coaches, a,nd the coaches want every fellow with any ability at all to come out for the teams. The coaches have found that for an athlete to be at his best, he must keep certain rules for the good of his health. Her'e you will find the general rules for training with one or two added for the different sports. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Be in bed by ten o'clock. Do not use tobacco or liquor. Eat meals regularly. Do not eat between meals. Three meals a day. The coaches feel that if a student does not intend to observe th\e training rules, it is better for him not to try to make the team. These training rules must be observed if the sports are to contribute to the health-building and physical development of the men. Letters are awarded to fellows participating in each sport. A large "D" for a major sport and a small "D" for a minor sport. It is needless to say that members of teams that do not keep faith with the coaches and keep training rules are not awarded letters. 43` �CONDITIONS OF AWARDS Football A large "D" is awarded to boys who have played in one whole league game or parts of three halves. Bas.ketball A large "D" is awarded to boys who have played in one whole league game or parts of three halves. Ba,seball A large "D" is awarded to boys who have played in parts of three league games. Track A large "D" is awarded to boys who have place-d in the city meet or men on a relay team that placed, or to boys who place in the state track meet. Tennis A small "D" is awarded to the singles champion and to the two doubles champions if they compete in the inter-school championship tournament. SHASON TICKHTS Season tickets may be bought at the first of each school year for $1.50. This ticket entitles one to see five double header football games, ten basketball games, ten baseball games, and the junior and city track meets. Buying a ticket is the means of a great saving; for otherwise, each contest would cost one fift.y cents. 44 �BE GOOD SPORTS The teams that come here to play and the officials who conduct our games are the guests of the high school. We owe it to East and ourselves to see that they are treated at all times and under all circumstances with the utmost courtesy and consideration. In this connection all spectators arre urged to co-operate in seeing that the following suggestions are observed : 1. Please refrain from all personal remarks addressed to players, the bench, or the officials. 2. It is inevitable that some of decisions should be close. You may agree with the correctness of some them, but the officials are in a better position to see them than any spectator can be. Please do not attempt to "ride" the officials or comment on their decisions. Let's keep our fun clean, clever, fresh, frolicsome, genuine, refreshing. A beautiful behavior gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts. Ralph W. Emerson. 45 �GIRLS' ATHLETICS The girls have taken more interest in athletics this year than ever before because of the advantage of the new gym. So many girls have tried out for the sports that there have been two and three teams for each class. The fall season was opened by tennis, which was followed by soccel., a sport which was never tried out, at East before. This sport was met with enthusiasri from all classes. Soccer was followed by basketball, volleyball, and baseball, which are all popular among the girls. Games are played between the different class teams. The girls on the first teams receive 100 points, those on the second teams receive 50 points, and those on the third teams 25 points. For the first hundred points a girl makes, she receives a small D, and for every additional hundred points she is awarded a chevron. When a girl has made 600 points she is awarded a big D, and when she reaches the goal of 750 points she is entitled to a small gold Old-English D pin. 46 �-~ f.i9i.2a h1.'=JF-i•Ep3.iCi !i ±ijlc=aij so •jiI €ji -I0•i-g! 1` 35;? !?-®a93? •!.!!i 3®!f, ;J3S! i(•-i 5#::ii + ", ®j-09# __Vi:=I !!; I ,n,IiP, •j§!I II Jt`0Ou __A �1 48 �- wlHfr tr tl EE \j'Eim i.:.lil y .'.: •';i, :('i: I:'';,i.,.

There are thirtyfour clubs which are so` varied in character as to cover every interest and hobby of the pupils. The combined object of all the clubs is to encourage initiative, co-operation, and leadership. Each of the clubs, which range widely in size, has a member of the faculty for its sponsor. The following clubs are recognized in the school: 1. The National Honor Society is an organization for which only students who have the Ilighest scholarship average and are leaders in the school are eligible. All members have life membership and only Juniors an-d Seniors are admitted to this society. 2. The Local Honor society. Students are admitted to the Local Honor Society when they have an average of "8" in their studies. Meetings of this club are not held during the regular club periods but are held once a month. 3. The Minerva Literary Society is a club for girls, which has for its object the study of good literature. It is next to the oldest club in the school, being established about 1904. 4. Congress is the oldest club in the school. It is for boys only and its pur52 �pose is to study the science of government and to practice the art of expression. 5. Junto is also a literary society with the purpose of promoting literary interest. 6. Senate is a club for boys whose purpose is to study the science of government and to practice the art of expression. 7.

It is composed entirely of girls and its purpose is to arouse interest in historical subjects. 9. The Public Speaking Club is just what its name signifies. Its members, boys and girls, discuss questions pro and con and take part in debates. 10. The International Relations society is composed of boys who are interested in world questions. It is a member of the International Relations League, the only high school group in the League. 11. Drama Club. The Drama Club of the school was formed to familiarize students with the good in drama. Several times a year the club presents plays, some of which are for the club only, and others which are open to the public. 12. The "D" Club is a club for boys who have made their letters in athletics. 53 �It always sponsors any movement/ for the advancement of school spirit and for the betterinent of the school. 13. The Sports Club is an organization to further girls' athletics. Only girls who have made a certain number of teams can belong to the club. 14. The Tyro Club is an athletic 'club for boys who are interested in athletics but who have not yet been fortunate enough to mak-e their letters in the school. 15. The Fencing Club was founded for the purpose of instructing boys in the rudiinentary elements of fencing and the study in general of the art of fencing. 16. Archery. 'The Archery club's purpose is to revive interest in an old but thoroughly absorbing art. 17. Le Cercle Daudet is a club for students of French. It was formed to advance the study of French and the programs are arranged to interest its members in France and the French people. 18. The Latin Club is another of the three language clubs at Hast. It is only for girls and has for its object the study of Roman life, customs and literature. 19. The Spanish Club, whose purpose it is to promote interest in Spanish customs, ideals and language at East, is di- vided into two parts-the Andaluces section, and the Alhambra section. The two sections of the club wol.k in unison, although they are in reality separa'te. 54 �20. The Hi-Y is a city-wide club, with a very active chapter at East. Its purpose is to promote growth in the four sides of life, namely: spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social. 21. The Girl Reserves, a national or- ganization, has a chapter at East. They are very active in the school, and meet at the regular club period. Their purpose is to rind and give the best in life. 22. The Two Arts Club is one of the few clubs of the school open to both9boys and girls. Only students who are inter- ested in art belong to this club, the purpose of which is to promote appreciation of the Fine Arts. 23. The Piano Club. This is a club for girls who play the piano and who are interested enough in music to want its advancement in the school. 24. The Boys' Music Club is an organ- ization formed to stimulate interest in music. 25. The Girls' Music Club` has the same purpose as the Boys' Music Club. 26. The Science Club is a club for boys interested in engineering. Great engineering achievements are studied in the meetings of this club. 27. The Wonder Club is another club that admitsi both boys and girls to its membership. In it the wonders of nature are studied. 28. Radio Club. There are a certain 55 �number of radio fans at East, just as there are in every other place at the present time, and these "radio bugs" have all grouped together and formed East's Radio Club. 29. The Spad Club was organized for the purpose of instructing those boys who desire it in aviation. The word "Spad" signifies a small type of aeroplane. 30. The Motor Club is an organization which specializes in the study of the motor and its details. 31. Boys' Travel Club. The purpose of this club is to obtain a better understanding of the geographical features of the state of Colorado, of the U. S. and of the world. 32. Cruisers. Cruisers is a girls' club organized to learn more of our own country and of foreign lands. 33. Boys' Cooking Club. This club's purpose is to instruct the boys of our. school in culinary art. 34. Stamp Club. In almost every group of people there are some who have for their hobby the study and collecting of stamps. This is also true at East where a group of boys have formed a club with the study and collection of stamps as its Purpose. "The heritage of a great language is one we should jealously guard." Henry Ford. 56 " llli �The man that has no music in himself , Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils. Shakespeare. MUSIC Almost every phase of music is offered at East. These are all credit bearing activities. A boys' glee club and a girls' glee club are formed at the beginning of each term. These organizations give programs both at school and throughout the city. The membership is limited to about forty for each organization and tryouts are held so that any student interested may apply for membership. There is also offered by the music department, instrumental and vocal instruction as well as orchestra and band. The orchestra is composed of about thirty-five pieces. It serves to accompany most of the dramatic productions and also presents concerts throughout the year. Those who have had experience are invited to join the orchestra. The signal honor of being chosen as the representative High school band of Denver, was conferred upon the East High military band. The band plays at all the games and is a valuable organ in arousing enthusiasm in the school. 57 �PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The greatest succe,ss for the school can be achieved only through co-operation of parents and teachers. It was with this idea in view that the East High School Congress of Parents and Teachers was organized. The yearly dues are twentyfive cents. The Congress holds monthly meetings at which the problems of the school are discussed. Notices of these meetings are distributed to pupils to be delivered to parents. Every high school student should urge his parents to join the organization and attend the monthly meetings. The school is indebted to the P. T. A. for many services. During the Homecoming held in 1925, with the aid of the alumni, they held open house for all those who wished to come home to the Old East. A Mother and Daughter Tea has been held, and an effort has been made to establish regular visiting days I or parents. They have at all times upheld the high morale of our school, and recognition of their work was made by the school board in the installation of an office for their us\e in the new building. 58 �PUBLICATIONS Both of the student publications have editorial rooms. Members~ of the two staffs are assigned to these rooms for home room period and are allowed to work here during their study periods. This arrangement is for staff members only. If you do not have business in these rooms with the editor or sponsor, do not loiter in them. Anllual Every spring the students of East pub1ish a year book summarizing photographically and editorially the events of the school year. Besides the pictures of all the students, organizations and athletic teams, the book contains views of the school, stories, and humorous snapshots. This year it has been decided to change the name of the annual from "Angelus" to "Trail Blazer." There also will be zL radical change in the form, from a stereotyped catalogue to story book form, giving the events of the year and the history of the class. As no permanent name has been decided upon, the succeeding annuals may or may not be known as the ``Trail Blazer." The sta,ff for the annual is chosen largely from the senior class, the editor being elected by the senior class and the staff 59 �being appointed by the sponsor and editor. All students with any ability in newswriting are urged to apply for positions on the annual staff . Spot,light The student newspaper of East High School was founded in 1921 as a \four- page, three column paper under the name of "The Angelus." The next year the name was changed to ``The Spotlight" and after a gradual increase in size, the paper was enlarged to six columns in 1924, which is the present status of the publication. The Spotlight is published bi-weekly on Thursdays, and is sold at this time by home room representatives throughout the building at the price of ten cents per copy. Subscriptions are not sold in the school but are limited to alumni and others not attending. At various times during the year, instead of the usual publication of The Spotlight, special editions are put out appropriate for the event or date, which they emphasize. Chief among these are the Christmas, the April Fool, and the Senior editions. The Girls' issue, and Junior Journalists' number are both issued independent of the regular staff. Appointments to the staff of The Spotlight are made largely from members of the news-writing classes of the school who show particular ability. It is very difficult for a student to 60 �be appointed to the staff without this prerequisite, the study of news-writing. The Spotlight is a member of the Central Interscholastic Press Association, a national organization, and the Rocky Mountain Inter-scholastic Press Association with headquarters at Boulder. Since its entrance to the latter organization, The Spotlight has always been a contender for honors at its contests, and in 1925 has been successful in winriing three cups -all that were offered. One of these gave The Spotlight the title, "Best in the West." If you are interested in news-writing this is your opportunity. Handbook "The Baby Angels Guide" edited this year by the Handbook Committee from the senior class was the first effort of East to furnish a guide for the information of entering students. The "Angels Guide" is printed for the first time, and sponsored by the senior cla]ss for the use of the student body in general. Other editions will tfollow as needed. 6] �NATIONAli HONOR SOCIIETY rT--1 To be elected to membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can come to an East High student. There are four cardinal requisites for entrance into this society: The first is character. The student who aspires to membership in this organization must be clean, dependable, and trustworthy. The second is scholarship. A member of this society must have a high scholastic standing, averaging throughout his high school course among the highest twentyfive per cent of his class. Leadership is the third requisite. Leadership does not necessarily mean an officer of a class or club, but it means exerting an influence I or better things in the school. Service, the fourth requirement, is willingness to share the work of the school and to take part in at least one extracurricular activity. The student who wears the shield with the torch of. learning, signifying he is a member of this society, is fortunate indeed, for he has had bestowed upon him one of the highest honors thatTthe school can give. 62 �I)EBATE "A clear statement is the strongest of arguments." In the world today success in government and in business depends largely on the ability of those who stand for what is just and right to control the convictions of their fellows, and so to make them see the best and seek after it. A democracy such as ours draws its life blood from the full .free discussion of matters of vital concern to the individual and the state. Nothing so much as debating develops in the individual the abilit}- to think straight, to see clearly both sides of a question. Debating also gives one excellent training in public speaking, for there is much opportunity for extemporaneous speaking. It is an acknowledged fact that no one can succeed in any line of business today unless he can express clearly to the world his ideas. A high school debating league has been formed in Denver. Each school is represented by two teams, one affirmative and one negative, but the custom at East is to have two affirmative and two negative. As only two members are on each team, this proves to be a very good arrangement for it gives more students opportunity to debate. The teams are chosen at a ngeeting of all candidates for positions in the fall. At the close of the school year, members 63 i_`_ I �of the team are presented with gold pins for representnig their school_ in an interscholastic contest. This is a splendid opportunity for your development. .. ORATORICAL CONTHSTS The Woodbury Declamation Contest was established in 1875 in acceptance of the following from the Honorable R. W. Woodbury: ``Being desirous of promoting the interests of the Denver High School (East High) by some encouragement of the pupils therein and entertaining an exalted opinion of after life to boys who give special attention and study to declamations, I beg to tender a prize for this object if in your judgment it can be used .... You may if you wish consider this a piermanent offer." This contest occurs annually and is preceded by a trial declamation at which eight speakers are chosen. It is one of the most interesting contests and is hotly fought. Kiwanis The Kiwanis Americanization prize, which was originated by Mr. I. N. Stevens in 1895, has been continued since his death by the Kiwanis Club of Denver. the prize is given forJ*the best original patriotic oration and is competed for by a representative of each of the Denver high schools. 64 �Shaffroth The Shaffroth Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, which comes early in January, was established in 1923 by a gift of the late Honorable John H. Shaffroth. This is an interscholastic event at which one boy and one girl from each Denver high school participates. State Contest In tlle spring of each year, the Univ.,ersity of Colorado sponsors a combined oratorical contest and essay contest at Boulder. Hach high school in the state that sends contestants to the event is allowed to enter' one boy and one girl in the respective contests. Each contestant is required to write an essay which is adjudged in competition with the essays submitted by the other contestants. The five essays that are judged the highest in thought and composition in the respective contests, one for the boys and one for the girls, are delivered in the final contest: National Contest In the spring o£ 1925 the Denver high schools first entered the National OratoriGal Cont,est sponsored by the Kansas City Star, and this year the interest in this contest has increased tremendously. The winming of this contest is the greatest honor which can come to any high school student. 65 �Kliauss Hssay Conteist Some phase of American patriotism is the, subject for the Knauss Essay. These essays are to be approximately 1,000-1,500 words. The contest is open to Seniors and a prize given to each Denver High School. Senator Knauss instituted this contest to stimulate patriotism among High School students. HILlj PRIZH SHORT STOR|T The Hill Prize Short Story Contest is sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe C. Hill. The object is to promote more extensive literary writing in the school. Members of the Short Story Classes compete and the winner is awarded a book. W0IicoTT RHADING CONTEST Wolcott, is an annual sight-reading contest for girls of East. It was inti.oduced by Henry 0. Wolcott in 1879 and enthusiasm for it runs high among the girls contesting for the medal. SONS OF REVOLUTION ESSA17. The State Essay Contest, sponsored by the Color.ado "Sons of the American Revo- lution," is another annual event, open to all students of the Denver high schools. The prize is a medal and a set of books. 66 �QUOTAT|OP`TS Habit is a Cable; we weave a thread of it every day, and at last we cannot break it.~Horace Mann.

Plays are well attended and the students as a whole seem to enjoy gI.eatly the work in Di.ama that is carried on. During the year four dramatic events have become traditions. The first, a group of plays staged by the Drama Club, is given about the middle of the year. Three one-act plays are usually chosen for this eve`nt; two comedies and a tragedy, or vice versa. Later the "All Club Play" is put on by the clubs of the school. Try-outs are held and two members are selected to represent their. club in the final try-outs. The best characters are then chosen. The resulting play is very popular with the Angels. The next in linei is a three-act play participated in only by members of the Drama Club. This play is usually a good comedy by a popular author. The last dramatic event is the "Senior Play." The cast is composed entirely of Seniors, no underclassmen being eligible. This final play is a gala ev.nt and is well attended by students, faculty, and friends. The "Senior Play" is the climax of "Senior Day." 68 �CADETS Under the supervision of Capt. L. T. Gayle and four other officers, the Cadets progress rapidly with their year's work, which includes: close order drill, such as marching and the manual of arms; extended order, which includes the dif ferent formations used in warfare a,nd fighting. The course also embraces rifle marksmanship, first aid, scouting and patrolling, and personal hygiene. The future officers of the ai.my have as their leaders some vei.y efficient commissioned and non-commissioned officers who ai.e regularly advanced according to their ability. Promotions a.re made on Cadet ratings which are based on scholarship, proficiency in drill and depo.1.tment. Scholarship counts-60 per cent, and military efficiency 40 per cent. Boys who aspire to commissions should enlist as soon as they enter East, and should strive from the very beginning to make high scholarship and military marks. `ie Cadet Corps has had part in all the notable parad`es, and have been prominent in public demonstration of a patriotic nature. Not infrequently has it been the part of the East Cadets to carry the colors on such occasions. The annual company competitive drill is an outstanding event of the school year. 69 _-ra �East has usually received her share of the honors. The discipline and knowledge gained in the course of military training makes .it invaluable, and a great number of student`s are year.ly enrolled in the Cadets. The Pilgrims of Plymouth stand forth as exemplars of certain gi.eat principlesThey never confused moral and economic values; they never set.material advance above the higher qualities of heart and mind. They set character first. They reverenced learning and did homage to intellectual achievement. Henry Cabot Lodge. She has the essential attributes of a lady-high veracity, delicate honor in her dealings, deference to others, and refined personal habits. George Eliot-"Silas Mat.ner" 70 �SuuDHNT WHLFARH FUND Previous to the fall of 1923, many students from East had received financial aid from the teachers, but there was no provision for a fund for that purpose. In 1923, through the efforts of the faculty and st'udent body, the Student Welfare Fund\ was instituted. The Drama Club was the first to contribute with the proceeds from a play and a book sale. The year 1923-1924 opened with a gala tag day bringing in $333. Still another contribution in 1923 was the Faculty Play. In 1924-1925 the annual tag day yielded $473.57. Students will not soon forget the appeal.ance of the lower hall of the old building on that day. The motto was ``Give until it hurts," and was carried aloft in a vast surge of enthusiasm. This year, 1925-1926, the Drive netted $490.19, surpassing all preceding results. The Committee in charge of the fund consists of Miss Evelyn Griffin, Mrs. Mary Adkisson and Mr. E. Waite Elder. Each succeeding fa+1l, as the S. 0. S. is sounded, faithful Angels dig deep into their pockets, and unselfishly place their offerings in the coffers of the Student Welfare Fund. The Fund is just one more proof among many of the spirit of helpfulness and neighborliness and good comradeship characteristic of the "Angels." 71 �LOST AhTD FOUND All articles that al.e found in the classrooms or about the building should be returned to the office at once. Students in search of their belongings may then find them promptly. This little care for the property of others will often save an unfair reflection on our school. CARH OF PFuRSONAL PROPHRTY If students will take some precautions, they can help the school, themselves, and others` by protecting their own property. The following suggestions may be ample: 1. Have all property marked legibly with your name. As soon as you purchase a book, write your name in the front of the book and also on some page in the book that you can readily remember. 2. Do not leave your books, note books, or pens, etc., lying carelessly about the building. You may be leading some one into temptation. 3. 4. Never. leave your locker open. If you are wise, you will wea.r your locker key, and not trust yourself to carry it. 72 �AWARDS The very idea of the power and right of a people to establish government, presupposes the duty of ' every individual to obey the established government. George Washington. �Hollor Cup The Honor Cup is presented annually to the student who has shown to the highest degree leadership, scholarship, and athletic ability. Three members of the Senior Class are chosen by popular vote in class and their names submitted to the faculty, with whom rests the final decision. Thatcher Cup Good citizenship, sportsmanship, leadership and athletic prowess are the characteristics considered for the awarding of the Thatcher Cup. The Cup, instituted in 1922 by Thomas Thatcher, an East student is awarded to the best all-round athlete. Richa,rd-Cr&wford-Campbell The student of East who is adjudged to have given the greatest service to the school throughout his high school career, is rewarded with the Richard-CrawfordCampbell medal. Servicei Pins In recognition of service, silver and gold "E" pins are awarded to students' of East High School at the close of each school year. Gold pins are awarded to the head boy and the head girl, editors of the Annual and The Spotlight, and business managers of the Annual and the Spotlight. The silver pins are awarded to the presi74 �dents of the Senior and Junior classes and those holding places next highest to the editors of the Annual and The Spotlight, Scholai.ships All colleges are eager to assist worthy pupils to obtain a college education, but they desire only those pupils from the upper fourth of the graduating class, having the highest standing. If a student is desirous of a scholarship, he or she should average a strong 8, for these scholarships are awarded to students who are diligent, reliable workers, and who will put untiring effort into the task they are set to do. It is a great honor to receive such recognition. The scholarships a.re awarded by the deans to an equal number of boys and girls. The scholarships offer`ed by the various colleges in Colorado are as follows: The University of Colorado offers four; Colorado Agricultural College, two; Colorado School of Mines, one; Denver University, ten; Denver University School of Commerce, One; And Colorado College, two. 75 �SONGS AND YRELlis SHOU1`, SHOUT FOR OIiD HAST DHNVIER!
