WALTER C. ALLEN EARL R. PARTRIDGE Some people may call them "Faculty Advisors." They deserve no such dignified title, however. They are merely friends—and the best friends that June 1918 ever had. Some teachers build up the intellectual powers of their pupils. As home room teachers for our class, Mrs. Allen (ne Miss Fosdick) and Mr. Partridge did more. They built up the character of those with whom they were so closely associated dur- ing the four years just completed. Since Miss Fosdick became Mrs. Allen, Miss Van Alstyne has taken her place. Her thoughtfulness and broad-mindedness has won for her a place in the hearts of the June '18 girls. Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Yearbook Collection The School Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Yearbook Collection Uncle Sam, We're Behind You E HONOR our Nation's Defenders"—you have read that many times as you have passed through the lower corridor. You have perhaps felt W depressed as you realized how great a sacrifice some of East High's boys are making for their country. At the same time you were thrilled with a feeling of pride and exaltation to fesl that Old East High was really doing her bit. We have been doing our bit. It is only a little of what we must do and what we are going to do. It is no time to pat ourselves upon the back. I c is a time when we all should be doing something for our best friend, Uncle Sam. In order that it may inspire us and others to do more we have though it best to here record some of the things which Our Alma Mater has done to prove that she is behind the government. Since war was declared over a score of students and five of the faculty have left to offer the supreme sacrifice, to risk their lives in the first line trenches in order that we may continue to enjoy the rights of a free government. In the trenches behind the lines East High School is helping to support the front line of defence. Each member in school pledged a certain amount to the Second Liberty Loan last fall. The pledges were kept. The one thousand dollar bond pur- chased was turned over to the Junior Red Cross and enabled every student ot this school to become a member of that organization. Many students raised food on war-gardens last spring. Many of the boys went on farms to help produce more food so that our Allies could be fed. Money was raised by the pupils and given to the Base Hospital to enable them to buy music and other entertainment. Magazines and books were brought and sent from school to those in the trenches so that they might have some of the home comforts. The girls of the school have been knitting, sewing, doing all sorts of Red Cross work. The Third Liberty Loan was subscribed for by the school, each student pledging five cents a week for three weeks. The management of Debating turned ovc-r the profits made on the debates to the Base Hospital and to the Third Liberty Loan. This spring many boys left school to work on fa Many more will go this summer. This is a little of East High's history during the past year. We are proud of it for it shows we have done something. Again we feel ashamed of it for we realize that we should be doing everything for our country instead of something. We must do school work as we have never done before. We must work at everything as we have never worked before. The history of the past year in East High School should in- spire all of us to give all of our time, all of our energy, all of our money, and to exert all of our influence to help America win this war.

WILCOX After four years of contact with the faculty of East High School it is natural and fitting that we should herein pay some tribute to them for their help in making our high school course uplifting and instructive. The teachers in this school have put their shoulders to the wheel alongside of the pupils and have greatly assisted in push- ing across the big campaigns of the last year. The faculty finds few enemies and many friends among the student body. This fact speaks well for their personality, their influence, and their teaching ability. Nothing undeserving can be said concerning the principal, Albert H. Wilcox. He is honored and respected by all of the students and teachers. Is it not a seldom occurence to hear a pupil say "There isn't a boy or girl in this school who wouldn't do anything for Willy." The school at large speaks of him as "Willy." Some teachers think it disrespectful but it is not. Instead it merely shows that we look upon our principal as a friend and not as an executive who is merely a cog in the educational machinery.
