East Henderson High School Flat Rock, North Carolina b4?c KIGHLANDER Volume 12 ; Be Unrelenting, the future invades the present at a mind-boggling rate. The future uses the process of change, both sociological and technological, to overwhelm us. Our ability to adapt to this rate of change will determine how fast and how far we are able to develop as a civilization. However, before we can adapt, and in turn cope with, change, we have to understand and anticipate it. As society advances, we reap the spoils of progress. Recent population increases, for example, have contributed directly to the creation of new crises, both soci- ological, pitting m2n against man, and ecological, pitting man against his environment. Yet, ironically, outstanding among our advances is the increase in and distribution of knowledge. The task ahead of us is in the application of this knowl- edge to control development, to benefit society. An inherent risk in dealing with technological development is the loss of individualism-the creation of a society of robots, guided by an authoritarian Big Brother, beckon- ing us to 1984. Yet, by protecting personal liberty, 1984 can always be years away. Though these concepts may seem alien to the daily routine at East, they deserve the attention of people our age as they do no one else’s. From here on out the world is ours; and its problems, though we did not create them, fall square- ly on our shoulders. lf we realize that we are our only hope, perhaps we can effect pos- tive change and shape a better world. AEA NS Ce i alae ae iain See yer ; : Challenged last August by adminis- trators and student leaders, we left that first meeting anticipating only the best during the next nine months. The ensu- ing weeks, however, introduced us to the realities of high school life, among them schedule mix-ups and orientation. or ae 5 Cie ce en é LOLS The population problem wors- ened at East as total enrollment climbed to well over one thousand. Overcrowding made it necessary to exceed quotas for classroom size and look to the lunchroom for extra seats during assemblies. x ¥ ¥ Le 4 1 4 : i 3 Sites CURSE TIRES ctr siot nes setae Chsditasianainsienntaeenisaeinancemenanesemeemme et w wiks ae ans SS aaa | : J ‘a ie ‘ . yy _ y ¥ P es : y . x y a NOOK ue , i Os ee eae _—— Ses Pep rallies attest to the fact that the mass of a body may be directly equated with its energy. Cheer- leaders convert this energy into the elusive substance known as school spirit. Unfortunately, some find it more difficult to make use of their energy in the classroom as well as at ral- lies and games. We may not be as aware of the ef- fects of future shock as we should be. The symptoms, however, increase with every year — more files in the office, students too involved in their own af- fairs to be concerned with those of others. Yet, at the same time, old friendships from elementary school and junior high continue, and new ones begin. 14 , m .«£ Aarne, Stet lum Curricu People Student Life Athletics Community Pease = CURRICULUZD 17 Robert Ford Glenn Marlow Sammy Reese Kay Williams Superintendent Assistant Superintendent William Barnwell Leland Zollinger Assistant Superintendent Supervisor 18 Dr. Thomas Ledbetter is second principal in three years “quot TO FREE FOUNS . : = . Se Z Because of the advancement of Sammy D. Reese, East’s principal for two years, to the office of assist- ant superintendent of Henderson County Schools, Thomas Ledbetter assumed the principalship. Dr. Ledbetter, who graduated from Sylva High School, received his B.A. degree from David Lips- comb College, Nashville, Tennes- see. He has an M.A. in Education from Western Carolina University and a doctorate in education from the University of Tennessee. Besides teaching in Macon and Haywood Counties, he has worked with an architectural firm as an educational consultant in school planning. Dr. Ledbetter was assisted in the office by Mrs. Kay Williams, secre- tary of the school, who typed, took care of the financial matters and answered the telephone, and by the counselor, Mr. Robert Ford, who also directed tests such as the S.A.T.

Hysong Bessie Bright Emmaleen Maxwell Ted Maybin 20 ! . 3 = Library staff again promotes orientation Without the services of the libra- rians, teachers’ aide, janitor, and lunchroom ladies, East High would soon come to a standstill. These non-teaching personnel contributed to the everyday life of students and faculty. Mrs. Hysong and Mrs. Bright sponsored the Library Club, gave freshmen an orientation to the li- brary, sold paperback books, and of- fered help on term papers. Mrs. Maxwell assisted three teachers in preparation and grading. The lunchroom ladies, under the management of Mrs. Mabel Justus, prepared daily lunches for the school, while Mr. Maybin kept the school buildings clean. Group journeys to N. Y. for weekend A group of 19 English III and IV students traveled via airplane to New York with Mr. and Mrs. Pace for a two-day theater weekend. At the American Shakespeare Festival Theater, the students observed a production of The Tempest. Other highlights of the trip were a visit to Lincoln Center, a ballet perform- ance, andthe off-Broadway play, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in- the-Moon-Marigolds. New additions to the English fac- ulty, Mrs. Gerstacker and Mrs. Mul- lins, were not entirely unfamiliar with the school. Mrs. Gerstacker re- turned from a year’s absence, and Mrs. Mullins joined the faculty after having completed her student teach- ing at East several years ago.

The staff of 22 students, represent- ing all four grades, with the help of Mrs. Gerstacker and Mrs. Hunnicutt, undertook the task of publishing the paper every two weeks. Eag e Echo became the new name by popular vote of the student body. Controver- Sial editorials and student writing characterized this year’s papers. English classes found interests in areas other than verbs and nouns. Jimmy Mayfield headed up a paper- back book drive to supplement classroom libraries. Mrs. Pace’s senior English class hired them- selves out to other teachers to teach their classes for a day. Mrs. Lappin’s classes experimented in self-expression by making co- lages, writing self analysis Papers, and keeping daily journals. Barbara Hunnicutt Betty T.

Other staff members attended subsequent workshops in Sep- tember. With much frustration, the 16 new and four returning members managed to meet deadlines with many long hours during and after school. As a result of the successful ad campaign, the staff was able to provide many changes for the stu- dents. 26 THIS PAGE, TOP: Judy Huggins, Audrey Dorn, Kathy Wood, Carla Roberson, Leta Litman, and Cindy Bell review the possibilities for the class sections.

The course was dropped af- ter the first semester. Other class- es taught by Mrs. McConnell, Mr. Jarvis, and Mr. Hysong were Alge- bra | Il, Geometry, Advanced Math, Business Math, and General Math.

The newly-formed 15-member Science Club began its second year with the election of Kathi Kronenfeld, a sophomore, as pres- ident. The group sponsored scien- tific research and experimentation.

June Barnwell Gwen Oechslin Leslie Fisher David Montross Science department reshuffles teachers’ class assignments Mr. David Montross filled the vacancy in physical science and bi- ology left by Mr. John Jarvis, who took a position in the mathematics department. Mrs. Oechslin con- tinued teaching biology, while Mrs. Barnwell and Mr. Fisher added this course to their schedules. Mr. Montross’s classes were sad- dened by the untimely death of three of their white mice. This unfortunate event was shrouded in secrecy al- though it is rumored that they died as a result of the consumption of poisonous mushrooms. Some of the biology classes be- came film critics this year in addi- tion to their regular classroom activ- ities. Filmstrips on such diverse subjects as dinosaurs and mayflies passed under the scrutiny of seven classes.

Because of the large number of U.S. history stu- dents in the 1969-70 school year, few world history classes were of- fered; therefore many of the sen- iors this year were unable to take world history in their sophomore year. The situation was also com- plicated by a shortage of social studies teachers. One of the highlights of the year was the enrollment of Shadid Smihi from Tangiers, Morocco. Shahid visited some of the world history classes and told of his way of life. Special interest was shown in his Islamic religion. THIS PAGE, TOP: Gary Caudle works on his civics assignment.

A separate mini-course in psychology during fifth period was directed by Mrs. Nickell, with the assistance of Mr. Ford and Dr. Ledbetter. The success of the pro- gram was to determine whether psychology would become a per- manent part of the curriculum as a senior elective. Other changes in the social studies department included the addition of Mr. Harold Stephens, who filled the position vacated by Miss Beddingfield. Mrs. Mullins, also new to East, taught one world history class. THIS PAGE, RIGHT: Mrs. Foster wears jewelry she purchased during one of her many trips abroad.

Catherine Crawford 41 Mrs. Wanda White sponsors Art Club For the first time in East High’s history, the students held an art show for the county. Sponsored by the Hendersonville Art League, Art Club members displayed their sketches and paintings in the Hen- dersonville Art Gallery. The Art Club painted a car do- nated by Boyd Pontiac and entered it into a contest against other schools. During the Christmas season, the club constructed a Nativity scene on the school campus and sold small gifts. Other projects for the year in- cluded selling posters and bumper stickers, making tie-dyed tee-shirts, and going on field trips.

Last spring thirteen students from East auditioned before a panel of college voice instructors to attend the Mars Hill Choral Clin- ic. The ten of these who were se- lected spent two days at Mars Hill with students from other WNC schools. Later the chorus rated ‘“‘excel- lent” and the ensembie rated ‘‘su- perior’ in the state sponsored Chorus contest. The choir also performed in a program for the Association of Classroom Teachers in November and in an assembly and concert in December. Marion Smith 45 Band rates “Superior” at WCU festival Last spring, the stage band and chorus made an overnight trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, giving as- semblies at Pisgah and Cherokee High Schools. In October, the band traveled to Bristol, Tennesse-Virginia, where they won an excellent rating and a trophy in the Southeastern Band Festival. Also in October, they re- ceived a superior rating and trophy and Debbie Reese won the out- standing majorette trophy at the Western Carolina University in Cul- lowhee. The band also participated in the Apple Festival and Cherokee Fall Festival parades. In December, the sixty-two band members combined with the chorus to give a Christmas assembly for the school and a concert for the community.

Besides comedy scenes used to get such points across as magazine-selling procedures, the group presented dramatic scenes such as Viet Rock. Projects for the year included a winter production, a spring produc- tion, and a one-act play contest. Early in the year, members of the class formed a drama club. Officers were president, Ronnie Fender; first vice-president, Johnny Ray; second vice-president, Marty Redden; sec- retary, Beverly Baynard; treasurer, Sandy Sosebee; historian, Judy Ward; and parliamentarian, Rick Jones.

The two-hour horticulture class, consisting of juniors, was taught by Mr. McCall. To boost sales of plants from the greenhouse, the class presented each teacher with an arrangement of flowers. Plans are underway for construction of a new section for the greenhouse. The industrial arts department, offering drafting, construction, and maintenance classes, was headed by anew addition to the faculty, Mr. James Coston. His students aided teachers by repairing desks, build- ing the pigeon hole box for mail in the teachers’ lounge, and welding broken music stands for Mr. Smith.

Courses offered by the department were Home Economics rt | and Il, Family Living, Occupa- tional Home Economics, and se- mester classes in clothing and foods. Besides the normal cooking and sewing, Home Ec. | girls visited a kindergarten and did independent Studies and reports on careers. The Occupational Home Eco- nomics class prepared dinner for the Flat Rock Lions Club twice a month. Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Meador teamed to teach good grooming to the girls in the class. Family Living classes cooper- ated with classes from the other high schools in a survey of social activities of today’s young people. Several of the classes joined to put on a fashion show to be broad- cast over cable television.

Students learned not on- ly ways to maneuver a car, but also the rules and courtesy of driving, in semester classes meeting on al- ternate days and in on-the-road training after school and in the summer. Instructors, Mr. Scott and Mr. Nickell, faced the traditional un- certainties of the Driver's Educa- tion teacher. )UNITLI CUULALIUN | oe HENDERSON COUNTY SCHOOLS aaa yeas MO came ASR SANSA LEE E WARE 64 THIS PAGE, ABOVE: “You in a heap o’ trouble, boy.” LEFT: Russell Holliday gets set for a road test.

The jeweler offered white gold rings for the first time with the seniors’ preference of stone color. This year’s senior class will be the last to have this particular style of ring; next year the design will be changed to a style designed by a student committee of class offi- cers.

John Stover, David Rall, and Marty Redden took an excursion on the Tracy Grove Road that ended with hospitalization for the students and total demolition of the compact car. Mrs. Davidson’s fourth period Family Life Education class ob- served an unusual auto chase be- tween Mr. Adkins and his student, Keith Allison.

Three other juniors served as presidents: Bob Capps, of Junior Boosters Club; Betty Wil- liams, of Junior Civitan Club; and Bob Hammond, of Key Club. Home- room representatives included Dennis Ashe, Dawn Dixon, Taunia Fisher, Janice Hoots, Steve Killian, Cindy Nanney, Sherry Rutherford, and Betty Ann Williams.

While growing out of adolescence toward adult- hood, juniors faced baffling new experiences. Many discovered the pleasure of driving to school and, for the first time, having a parking lot to park in instead of Fairground Avenue. There was the excitement of being measured for senior rings and the anticipation of finally getting to wear them. For this year’s Junior- Senior, the juniors placed more emphasis on the band and refresh- ments than in previous years. The class raised money by paying dues and sponsoring a paid assembly.

Schedules included the re- quired subjects which distin- guished the junior class from other members of the student body. En- glish It] provided students with in- teresting forms of literature and study in grammar and writing. While taking U.S. history, juniors learned about their country’s past. Students learned that chemistry was intellectually stimulating, re- quiring accuracy, knowledge, and, above all, extreme caution. THIS PAGE: Susan Flack and Renee Goe- tsch look into another world.

They hesitantly paid their dues which entitled them to an invitation to the long-awaited Junior-Senior. Waiting in the lunchline for the seniors, who so persistently took their time, prompted some juniors to rebel, while most patiently waited their turn. Juniors took col- lege board preparation tests in the fall and finally, the long-dreaded college board itself in the spring. OPPOSITE PAGE: Juniors walk out of class to go to assembly.

Lynn Grasty, a varsity cheerleader, encouraged sopho- more spirit. Their great enthusiasm resulted in Mrs. McConnell’s home- room’s taking top honors in the Keyettes’ canned food drive. Some sophomores distinguished their class by showing enthusiasm in extra-curricular activities. Three sophomores were chosen for the annual staff: Greg Hunnicutt, Fred Justice, and Norman Sams. In F.H.A., Ragenia Langley was par- liamentarian, and Vera McGraw was reporter. Faye Jackson served as secretary in Tri-Hi-Y, and Will Andrews started on the varsity foot- ball team.

Biology, English Il, and world history were requirements. The most outstanding experi- ence for biology students was dis- secting a pig. Many disliked it, but they knew that a good grade de- pended on the proper dissection. In English Il, sophomores broad- ened their knowledge by an in- depth study of Shakespeare’s Jul- ius Caesar. The students acted out the play and created original proj- ects. The projects ranged from reports on Elizabethan music and religion to reproductions of Eliza- bethan art.

The major problem for the soph- omores was too much homework and no study hall. Those sopho- mores who had study halls had to sacrifice them for Driver’s Educa- tion. Sophomores had many me- morable experiences in driver’s ed. Some common mistakes were driv- ing in the wrong lane, going too slow, and running off the road. Some sophomores were too short to see over the steering wheel with- out sitting on cushions. The dream of having their licenses kept them from giving up in frustration.

The frustrations of being unfamiliar with the surround- ings of campus and the dire threats of the ‘‘Senior Gestapo” influenced their first impressions of high school life. In time, however, freshmen adapted and developed a sense of belonging and a unique ‘‘together- ness” seen in their singing of the Alma Mater, participating in pep rallies, and winning the spirit stick.

They chose the following as home- room representatives: Karen Bayne, Laura Cornelius, Debbie Freemen, Gregg Gosnell, Jackie Johnson, Jimmy McKinnish, Ronnie Mayfield, Debbie Moxley, Cindy Newell, Perry Sams, Becky Stread- wick, Carolyn Williams, and Keith Young.

Mrs. Elizabeth Rog- ers acted as sponsor of the student committee planning the special ac- tivities and projects. Preparation of projects and posters received encouragement from the Student Council in the form of a contest with cash prizes. Some classes went on field trips to the Biltmore House, Thomas Wolfe Home, Vance Homestead and other places in North Carolina history. Others used skits, characteriza- tions and model projects; one class made arrangements with election board members to hold a full day of registration for all 18-year-olds. On Thursday night an open house gave visitors an opportunity to view projects and handicrafts of North - Carolina heritage. Assembly highlights of the week included the Smoky Mountain Cloggers from Reynolds’ High School, and Mr. Billy Edd Wheeler, foik singer, who sang several of his original songs. Mr. Edsel Martin, maker and master of dulcimers, accompanied him. THIS PAGE, TOP: Mr. Edsel Martin plays his dulcimer.

The Flat Rock and Balfour fires left a doubt in many students’ minds of there even being a school for them to at- tend. However, the buildings stood undamaged when students clam- bered off the buses on opening day, August 25. During the first week, freshmen wore the traditional identification tags along with new green dunce hats, which were the cause of many an altercation with the ‘“‘Senior Ges- tapo.’’ With considerable relief, frosh rid themselves of the hated hats at the week’s end. The school welcomed a new prin- cipal, Dr. Thomas Ledbetter, and several new teachers. Upperclassmen realized that the parking problem had been solved with an additional parking lot. Many things had changed, but the bewilderment and fright on fresh- men’s faces remained the same. doce a th 135 Rain causes much Homecoming chaos On a damp October 4, Home- coming representatives and nomi- nees were introduced to the student body in assembly. Afterwards, stu- dents returned to their homerooms to cast votes for queen. That evening, wet weather forced the homecoming festivities into the gym, but did little to dampen the enthusiasm of the students who had just witnessed East’s first football victory of the year. A large crowd filled the gym to view the crowning of the 1971 Homecoming queen, Debbie Reese, and the presentation of her court.

The slack line of as- semblies suddenly pulled taut near the end of the first semester as three assemblies were held in two weeks. Taking advantage of his position on the Assembly Arts committee, John Stover made plans to hold the senior-sophomore team versus the junior-freshman squad and the In- teract-Key football games during the school day in an assembly. The General Motors assembly proved to be the most interesting during the early part of the year, but its popularity was contested during the latter part of the year by other assemblies. 138 THIS PAGE, TOP: ‘‘Coach’’ Marty Redden gives his team a pep talk before the crucial homecoming battle.

The Exotics, a soul band from Orangeburg, South Carolina, set the free and easy mood of the evening. Prom activities interfered with normal study habits in numerous ways. Many juniors delayed studying for College Boardsandconcentrated mainly on making this an eventful Junior-Senior. 141 Speech and Drama produces farce, “See How They Run” One major impression, that of frenzied action, left the auditorium with the patrons of ‘““See How They Run,” the lively farce presented by the class of ’71. The play based its plot on mis- taken identity, involving such in- congruous characters as a Russian intruder posing as one of three En- glish clergymen, an old maid, a Cockney, a pair of Americans, and a sergeant. The play was produced under the direction of Miss Joyce Loftin. The cast performed several excerpts from the production as an assembly before the student body. The public audiences turned out to view the two evening performances. THIS PAGE, RIGHT: Ronnie Whittemore, Susan Paxton, and Sue Buttner lunge for each other’s throats.

In response to claims that East’s pep and vitality showed a marked decrease, the var- sity cheerleaders, headed by Kathy Blakely, planned a ‘“‘Rebirth of Spir- it.” Mother Nature, Mrs. Davidson, wheeled in the newly-born spirit as portrayed by Coach Williams in a decorated grocery cart. “Go, BigGreen’” buttons, day-glow posters, decoratedtablesandalways incessant yells of “Give me an E!” defeated the bareness of the gym, lunchroom, and campus. With com- bined efforts from three squads, spirit soared whether in winning or losing, whether in football or basketball. 145 New clubs receive temporary charter The ECO Club, the Junior Boosters, and the Junior Civitan Club, sponsored by Mr. Stephens, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Jarvis, re- spectively, all received temporary charters in 1971. After a year in temporary status, each club is eligi- ble for a permanent charter. Junior Boosters sponsored a pressbox slogan contest at the beginning of the year and offered a cassette tape recorder to the winner. “Home of the Big Green Machine” won Robert Jones first- place honors. The Junior Civitan Club was eli- gible to receive a permanent char- ter before the year’s end. The club recruited students in an active membership campaign and sold fruitcakes to raise money for schol- arships and other services of the International Civitan Club. - ECO, the Environmental Clean- up Organization, spearheaded a community paper - and glass - re- cycling project.

C. Roberson to complete a season of four wins and three losses. This marked the first time that an Eagle football team has beaten the Bearcats. The Eagle offense was led by the running of Ronnie Mayfield and Jack Stepp and the passing combinations of Ken Patterson to Jackie Johnson and Randy Baynard. In addition to the potent offense, Coach Scott and Coach Stephens molded a hardnose defensive unit which gave up yard- age sparingly. Defensive standouts for the freshman team were line- backer Gary Caudle and defensive guard Gary Johnson. The team av- eraged scoring 24.3 points and gave up an average of 13.4 points.

Losing their first four games, the girls bounced back and compiled nine wins and seven losses for the remainder of the season. Highlights of the season were an upset win over Owen, and a 51-21 trouncing of West, along with two victories over Hendersonville. SCOREBOARD East Opponent 22 Owen 26 34 T. C.

East led most of the game behind the shooting of Mary Pressley; but, after Kay Williams was injured in the first half, East began to lose the lead. West captured the lead in the third quarter, and the Eagles were never able to regain it. The differ- ence in the game came at the foul line where West converted 26 of 42 to East’s 18 of 36.

Raymond Davis led the Eagles with 25 points. These hopes fell to T.C. Roberson in their next outing. In the following game, East went to North Bun- combe where they defeated the Blackhawks 49-41. Following the pattern of winning, then losing, East was defeated by Brevard despite the efforts of Ken Burgess, who scored 22 points. Following the defeat at the hands of Brevard, the Eagles defeated Owen again and came from behind to score a victory over powerful Tuscola. In this game Burgess hit key free throws in the closing sec- onds to win the game. Without the services of Ken Burgess, the Ea- gles again fell to T.C. Roberson, while beating crosstown rival West 49-41. With the whole team intact East defeated Enka impressively as Burgess led the Eagles with 20 points. Greg Cheadle and Ray- mond Davis contributed 15 apiece. Closing out the first half of the season, the Eagles beat Edneyville 50-47 as Burgess poured in 25 points.

East had a poor shooting night and fell behind after the first quarter, never able to regain the lead. Following the loss to Hendersonville, the Eagles beat Erwin, fell to Brevard, and lost a heartbreaking game to Edneyville. Against the Bearcats at home, East led most of the game and trailed by only a few points un- til the last minutes. At that point Hendersonville pulled away. Against North Buncombe, the Eagles played one of their finest games beating the Blackhawks 85- 49. Burgess, Haynes, Warren, and Killian placed in double figures as East poured it on. At Tuscola East suffered one of its coldest shooting nights of the year. Far behind at the half, the Eagles could never catch up. Closing out the season, the Eagles beat Enka, West, and Erwin. Against Enka Burgess scored 32 points. At West Burgess, Davis, Killian, and Haynes placed in dou- ble figures. While beating Erwin, Burgess poured in 28 points to lead all scorers.

Gymnasts present “The Globe-trotter” One of only two schools in Western Carolina to provide a gymnastics program, East opened the class this year to qualified freshmen. Last spring the gymnastics stu- dents promoted a two-hour pro- gram entitled ‘“‘The Globetrotter,” which featured various countries. Proceeds from the program were used to purchase a set of unevens, two new mats, and a springboard. This year the classes entertained the basketball crowds at half-time during most home games with routines, gave an assembly pro- gram at West, and provided a pro- gram for the Western District of Administrators on March 8.

Hold -it! We are not trying to jump on your case or put you down. But look at this side of the coin... We’d Like a Few Friendly Words with You: WHAT'S ALL THIS BIT ABOUT A GENERATION GAP? Pardon us, if we sound as though we’re preaching about the so-called “generation gap.” We don’t intend to sermonize. Because, we know that young men and women like yourselves have learned a lot—and are determined to learn a lot more, preferably without any lectures from the older generation. But we’re against “gaps”—generation or otherwise. And we suggest that we all gain from the insights and progress made by those who’ve lived before us. Consider these factors: YOUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS are the people, within just five decades, who have helped in- crease your life expectancy by almost 50% .. . while reducing the working day by one-third, and doubling our nation’s per capita output. THESE SAME PEOPLE have lived through history’s greatest depression. Many know what it is to be really poor, to be hungry, cold, sick, uneducated. Because of this knowledge, chances are they were determined— though they may never have told you so—that yours would be a better world . . . that you’d have greater opportunities to succeed tha n they. BECAUSE OF THEM, you will work fewer hours. Learn more. Have more leisure time. Travel to more dis- tant places. And have more of a chance to follow your life’s ambition. THESE SO-CALLED “UNTOGETHER PEOPLE” made a start, perhaps a late one, in healing the scars of the earth . . . eliminating pollution, fighting racial discrimination. They’ve done many things. And they have had some failures. They have not found an antedote to war or hatred. AND WHILE WE CONGRATULATE YOU on the milestone you’ve just reached. We also by indirection con- gratulate your parents and their parents. WE HOPE YOU ’LL SHARE OUR VIEWPOINT. We hope you'll build on past progress instead of magnifying any so-called generation gap! As you take your place in the adult world, you’ll want to benefit from the work that’s gone on before you. And you'll want to add to the progress of mankind. That’s what life is really all about.

What we know and what we can do upon graduating will in- fluence what we do in the future. Le Fh ae ; eran aos ee Be Fe With the end of 1971-72 come inevitable changes. Students be- come employees; teachers, stu- dents; athletes, lettermen; and un- derclassmen, upperclassmen. Seniors face the crucial transition from high school to college or em- ployment. For those of us returning to East in the fall, 1972-73 promises to be a year of challenge, with the loss of the ninth grade and major Changes in curriculum and sched- uling. For those of us leaving, our years at East can be remembered as the years that prepared us to cope with the complexities of the future. 263 The task ahead of us is to apply what we have gained from our ex- periences in each of the facets of life at East, for the benefit of self and of society. 264 ¥ =e =F ones ee + % Wye pote Seba ait IR a ta ; ‘f %
