Jlie foundation A wide diversity of academic activity has taken place at East during this se- mester. Several new courses have been initiated. In the area of mathematics, fourteen advanced students are enrolled in a new elass encompassing probability and statistical inference. Advanced jun- ior English students are participating in a new, experimental, advanced course, emphasizing speech, prose, poetry, and the American novel. The new look in in mechanical drawing is the two girls enrolled there this semester. Scarlet scholars have well received their share of honors. Four students at- tended the U. S. Army Science Sympo- sium in Iowa City. In April eight East students undertook a trip to the United Nations. While in the East, they saw the White House, the Capitol, a Broad- way play, and learned first hand about the activities of the U.N. Lee Township students are all ex- tremely proud of our new library. Dur- ing this semester the library was re- modeled and expanded, and in the fall of 1963 it will open with triple its for- mer book space and a seating capacity for ninety students. Certainly the value of physical skills and fitness is well acknowledged, for our students have received intensive prepa- ration in both areas. Whether in swim- ming class or gym, East High boys and girls learned the importance of healthy bodies through calisthenics and various recreational skills. In the shops boys have gained practical experience in nu- merous physical skills: the auto mechan- ics students concentrated upon accom- plishing a complete auto overhaul job. Academics will always remain vital in preparing East High students for assum- ing important roles in today ' s scientifi- cally and socially advanced world. What is that strange sound you hear from Room 313? It is tk students, like those above, sharpening their foreign language skill with the aid of the new language lab.
