22 Because of the strain of over- crowded classes, many teachers found it difficult and sometimes im- possible to give each person the indi- vidual help he needed. To help solve this problem Mr. Robert Ford, Guid- ance Counselor, lent an ear to the tri- fling problems which seemed like mountains to the students. TOP: Mr. Ford performs his morning duty of excusing absences. LEFT: In addition to teaching classes, Mr. Barnwell, has the added weight of being assistant principal. RIGHT: Teachers’ meetings require full attention from Mr. Reese and his fellow teachers. Office Staff Links School Activities Mr. Barnwell in his capacity as an assistant to the principal is the liason between the county school superin- tendent and East High, handling a host of forms, orders, and records.

E. L. Justus Receives Athletic Facility Dedication r. Justus waited a long time for a ae track around the football field. As school opened in the fall, he saw his dream come true. It was no longer just “football field”. In ap- preciation of his dedicated work, the Boosters Club named the field for him, the E. L. Justus Field, home of the Eagles. Mr. Justus graduated from the Uni- versity of North Carolina and re- ceived his MS from Columbia Univer- sity of New York. After 43 years of teaching experience, Mr. Justus stated that he thought the moral of the stu- dent body was the best in many years. An important step, agr eed the teachers, was taken towards a better understanding between teachers and students. A booster sticker on the lapel, a concerned look for someone’s problem, a warm smile, and a conference with a teacher — all these typify Principal E. L. Justus’ attitude to- ward students and teachers at East High. A true symbol of Mr. Justus’ philosophy was captured in the final picture: whatever sur- face activity occupies his time, his eyes are on the students. 21
