Outside Activities Supplement Classes All aboard for a soul-jammed match! This was the cry as the rollicking Roadrunners prepared to ramble along the road to Chattanooga. Accompanying the five buses along Highway llE were reverberations of students singing Give It Up or Turn It Loosefl Just as the basketball team reluctantly gave up a victory to Riverside, other students almost gave up before they finished a personality inventory for University of Tennessee researchers. While these students were speeding through their tests, the tailoring shopls stuffed turtles were winning in a race for money. Like Aesopis hare, some students waited too late to order and did not get the color turtle they wanted. Color also played an important part in the sidewalk art show. On the campus lawn, art students displayed samples of their skills ranging from painting and stitchery to collages and ceramics. Classroom lectures and homework assignments are educa- tional necessities, but the non-necessities also help instruct Austin-East students. Judith Hyatt and Jacqueline Hawkins sell two of the tailoring shop's sniffed turtles to Willie Willis and Thomas Holloway. 1 4 i 1 i 4.1

With these likenesses in hand, student artists painted game, braved a wobbly ladder to staple their posters on the gym wall. Problems Merely Add Zest to Student Life New school, new emblems, new colors- these were chal- lenges facing 1969's seniors. Queries of what to put on the Come See Me Graduate cards were placated by Josten's representatives who came armed with paper samples and design sketches. Art students also ran into problems while making posters of the dribbling Roadrunners. Skip Jackson, offended by too much soul color, had his picture white- washed, and BaBa Jackson wanted his head reduced. Not immune to misfortune-mania were faculty members, While overly active students Hkept the faith on ballgame Fridays, teachers exchanged lt's another one of those days! sighs. Even outsiders occasionally encountered problems at Austin-East. A Saturday night burglar broke into the school vault only to find it empty. Life at Austin-East is only sprinkled with problems, but these vexations are the happenings which add that teasing touch of zest to student life. And then, there were several times when student life was just too much for the weary teachers, including Mr. Ford, to take.
