We Zack! Om ' We build our lives at East. During the six years which most of us spend at East our lives are shap- ed in many different ways - physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Of course, we go to school mainly to learn. ln the classroom we learn many skills such as the old favorites, reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as gain a wealth of useful knowledge. But, more important, we learn how to think and reason and apply what we learn. We build for bigger and better things to come. We are given opportunities to develop our interests and talents through a varied program of activi- ties. We govern ourselves and direct student functions through our student councils. The programs of our music, dramatics, iournalism, and speech departments are wide and affect a large part of the stu- dent body. lt is through these activities that we may develop our talents and learn to express ourselves effectively. And each student has an opportunity to join a club in which he is interested. Adding a note of excitement to the school year are athletics. We cheer our teams on - rejoicing in victory and, when defeated, resolving to try even harder the next time. Besides varsity athletics, our intra- mural athletics program gives many students an opportunity to take part. During those six years we earn many friendships. We learn to work with and get along with others. And we grow up during those six years from uncertain seventh graders to seniors - young adults ready to make their place in the world. E Q wx, s fi i 3
