Challenging is a democratic method of placement practiced in the band and orchestra classes. When a student feels that he is more capabie than someone in a higher position, he may chailenge for the right to that posi- tion. This is done by means of solos which Mr, Roland Roberts judges, Here Peggy WiIliamson'plays her solo while Mr. Roberts and the members of the string section listen, Music Students Find And Develop Talent For those students who have musical tal- ent and who are interested in developing this talent, East offers many opportunities. Students who enjoy playing an e of instrument may enroll in one of th va ious bands or orchestras conducted by Mr, Roland Roberts' frayg trainirrg ban h- fsb1'rTe'expeEence in junior high, to the more advanced concert band and orchestra, there is a place for every degree of ability. t Students with inclinations toward the vocal side of music have equally good chances for expression. Beginning in a chorus group, they are advanced by permission into concert choir and girls' ensemble. Both instrumental and vocal music groups participated in many activities during the year. The entire vocal department presented three assemblies at which the members enter- tained the students with novelty, patriotic and spiritual songs. The concert choir and the girls' ensemble sang at civic affairs and holi- day functions. The concert band provided music at the football games, pep assemblies and parades. With the orchestra, they gave concerts during assemblies which were repeated in the evening for the public. ..-J

With the training re- ceived in such courses as typing, bookkeeping, stenography and business mathematics, stu- dents can secure a job after graduation from high school. For those going on to college, these courses, plus others offered, provide a basic background for a business major. Many of the business courses may be applied to per- sonal use as well as vocational, Typing stu- dents find their experience valuable for home- work and letter writing, and shorthand is an excellent method for taking notes in class. Courses in business principles and busi- ness law prepare students for executive posi- tions as well as for office work, As assistants to Mr. Croley in the programming depart- ment, girls are taught how to operate various business machines, Advanced typing classes aid the East high school office by typing and duplicating absence lists and other forms.
