Not only general math, taught by Mr. Harry Hommes and Mrs. Crystal Barndt, but algebra, geometry, and trig- onornetry, under the instruction of lVLrs. Mary Zickefoose, Mr. Carl West, and Mr. Robert Winters, were the funda- mental subjects that college students based their programs upon. Science has rapidly increased its need in the past few years due to the stress on space travel, engineering, and scientific leadership. For the past two years, East has of- fered an advanced course in physics which is equivalent to a second year college course. lt is taught by Mr, john W. Layman' and is conducted through a college-level text, Chemistry, too, is an accelerated course, receiving an extra honor point. Mr. james Michaels teaches this course in the newly finished laboratory, Girls' human science and biology are taught by Mrs, Mary Bates. Mr, Paul Day and Mr. Tom Smith instruct earth science and general science classes, while Mr. Wallace Grube teaches boys' human science and photography.

These courses are taught by Miss Mabel Mary Cobb, Mrs. Nellie McKanna, Mr. Richard Benson, and Miss Minnie Baker, who is also the school treasurer. Physical fitness is also stressed here at East.

The office has a time- saving addition to its staff. The new addition is an IBM machine which records all the tardies and absences during first and sixth hours. Mrs. Mina Eubank, the attendance clerk, or one of the other office clerks may be seen operating this machine. The machine saves Mrs. Eubank time and work at the end of the year when she makes out the yearly report. Mrs. Helen Watson, who serves as secretary to Mt. C. O, Williams, is in charge of all these rec- ords. Some of her other duties are making out transcripts, senior indexes, and senior ranks. Taking dictations, typing, and sending out all the required letters are a few of the responsibili- ties of Mrs. Margaret Potts. Along with these duties, she also serves as secretary to the three counselors, Mr. Edwin J. King, Miss Anna C. Stewart, and Mrs. Helen Scott. Mrs. Geneva Blencoe, general secretary, is kept busy by making sure that all bulletins are nm on time and seeing that all reports are taken care of properly. All the work that is done in the office is made easier by the help of the student office proctors. Some of their duties are to run errands, file, and to look for the cards of certain students to find out what class they are in at a certain time, 'l7
