Music and Art The music department at East is well equipped either to develop budding talent or to provide something useful for leisure hours. Vocal subjects range from advanced a Cappella through beginning a Cappella and selected girls' glee to girls' glee and voice. Instrumentally speaking, advanced or- chestra and advanced band head the list, with marching band, second band, inter- mediate orchestra and beginning instru- ments class following. Harmony, for ad- vanced students, and music appreciation, for everyone, are in the theoretical class. East's music department presents many concerts each yeas, which are well attended by the public. East's excellent art department provides students with training along several different lines. The drawing and painting classes make posters for Red Cross and bond drives, for dances and many other activi- ties. An advanced class in cre- ative art is offered to promising students, and to those who are planning to go into the com- mercial art field are excellent opportunities. The work of East students is amply dis- played to the public, and is often much admired. Below: WANTED BY WALT DISNEY Above SWEET AND LOW-AND LOVELY l26l

East High School's beautiful library not only has a vast and wellsbalanced collection of books, maga- zines, phamplets, and other materials, but also is well staffed with cheerful, helpful, and pro- fessionally trained personnel. Being the hub of all academic learning at East, the main library room is always crowded with students intently studying or busily searching for materials. ln the special library classroom almost any day may be seen a teacher with an entire class working on some special problem needing a variety of research materials. l One of the most helpful aids to classroom teaching is the library book truck service which en- ables teachers to have available in their room any period a collection of references on any special subject the class may be studying.
