Our principal, Mr. Pittman, has been with- us from the time East High first opened its doors twelve years ago. He has had the responsibility of developing each student to the maximum in our instructional program. He also has arranged the schedules and supervised our overall opera- tion. Mr. Pittman has been the man who was there and has made East a school that we have always been proud to say we attended. Our assistant principal, Mr. Singleton, has proved in his second year here a very effective administrator. One of his special charges has been the buses and the bus drivers. During the day he and his office assistants have handled absentees. Our secretary,-Mrs. Duke, registrar Mrs. Wright, and her substitute, Mrs. Cate, have carried out the office work very efficiently. Mrs. Duke handles the regular secretarial duties along with running the bookstore. Mrs. Wright has been absent on account of illness a good deal this year, but Mrs. Cate has been a very capable substitute. W, rw' if be it Mn. DAVID T. SINGLETON, IR.

GUIDANCE . . . Through guidance services we strive to make school a worthwhile experience for every student at East. The program includes: ORIENTATION: Representatives from junior and senior classes present assembly programs and visit junior high schools and home- rooms to acquaint sophomores and other new students with what East has to offer. GROUP CUIDANCE: Clubs, committees, and homeroom activities provide information and participation for leadership training and social development, helping students recognize what they have to offer East. TEACHER-PARENT CONFERENCES: Parents, teachers, and counselors exchange ideas and information about a student's test results, study habits, personality traits, etc., in an effort to arrive at a better understanding of the individual. I INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING: Three trained counselors engage in individual interviews with students for purposes of schedule and course planning, discussion of college information, consideration of specific jobs and careers, assisting a student in self-assessment, and working toward a solution of his personal problems. The guidance activities are not confined to the counseling process but encompass the whole school program-classes, extracurricular ac- tivities, faculty, students, and administration, for it is the entire school community which shapes the individual-the degree of success he achieves here and that which he reaches in his life after East. .,l4:.w.a xref' "Personally, I don't care what you think about Freud!"

The teachers in the English department of East Meck- lenburg High School are making a concentrated effort to help students think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and feel more keenly. Under the direction of Miss Myrtle Kiker, Miss Thelma Laws, and Mrs. Elizabeth S. Stevenson, the English de- partment has prepared a very complete syllabus, which shou-ld be a great help to new teachers coming into the department. A new English course, "World Literature," has been added to our curriculum. This course, taught by, Mr. Charles Davis, is an elective for both juniors and seniors. Frances Elizabeth Pittman was a winner of a National English Achievement Award. The following students At the first of the year the library shelves are unusually full. ul, i ng X if .iff 'P fl .LJ had articles published in the 1961 student issue of the North Carolina English Teacher: Donna Cullen, Barbara Irby, Pat Lawless, Jane Catherine Miller, and Frances Elizabeth Pittman. The following students had articles starred, meaning that the articles were given equal rating with some of those published: Betty Brookes QD, Karen Hodges C21 Sheryl Key CZD, Pat Lawless C21 Jane Catherine Miller CZD, Jay Campbell, Daniel S. Jones, Pat Kasmar, Frances Elizabeth Pittman, and Lyn Wil- liams. The following students received honorable men- tion: Marianne Bell CBD, Becky Crews CZD, Judy B. Untz CZD, Mary Boyd, Boddey W. Brandes, Martin Dulin, Madeline Cray, Donna Hailey, Sandra Haney, Judy Hough, Lynda Johnston, Sue Lemmond, Larry Sus- tar, Henry Tysinger, Jane Williams, Jane Willis, and Kathy Yarborough.

Since most junior high schools offer one or more foreign language courses, the high school system is approaching the state goal of six years of con- tinuous study in a foreign language. A big step in this direction is the acquisition of a language laboratory this year. In our effort to raise money for a language laboratory, the department sold more doughnuts last year than any other or- ganization in the United States. Lynda Murchison and Glenn Rhodes had the highest scores in the school in the National Regents Exams. Mrs. Shinn was added to our staff this year. The department was honored by having Mrs. Purvis speak for the second time at the state meeting of Latin teachers at Duke University.

Iuniors take time out from class to participate in East's annual "clean-up day." SUCI l STU Social studies teaching at East Mecklenburg is geared to a changing world situation. To this end, a group of well-qualified social studies teachers offer a wide range of subjects including: world history, United States history, American government, economics, and Bible. The latest addition to the curriculum is a contemporary history course taught by Miss Betty Smith. Mrs. Gray and Miss Davis were added to the staff this year. ln all classes supplementary reading materials, newspapers, current magazines, audiofvisual aids, and the services of re- source people in the greater Charlotte area are used for valuable enrichment and enlightenment of students. During the summer, Harvey Alper, Miriam Cunningham, Carter Heyward, Fran joslin, and lane D'Brien were enrolled in a "Humanities" course at Garinger High School. ,nz - xl Q Page Seventeen r ,QAM .

This course is evaluated by the National Science Foundation. Basic biology was also added to the curriculum. This course is designed to give the under- standing of biology that every citizen should know. It is not designed as a college preparatory course. Cut of the science department, four of the science teachers studied at various colleges during the summer. Mr. W. B. Robertson studied the technique of independent research and use of radio isotopes for eight weeks at the University, of Virginia. Mr. VV. E. Cheek took sixteen hours of advanced chemical study at Peabody College. Mr. lames Knox took dendrology at the University of North Carolina. Mr. O. K. Caskins studied field biology at Southern Methodist Univer- sity. We had the following number of students receive advanced placement at these colleges: seven at North Carolina State, one at the University of North Carolina, one at the Massachu- setts lnstitute of Technology, one at Wake Forest, one at Duke, and one at Pfeiffer. During the summer we had War- ren Lonon studying chemistry at Western Carolina and lane Lynch studying ecology at Appalachian State Teachers Col- lege.

ART - DRAMA - MUSIC ART Despite inadequate facilities, growth and expansion can best descibc the art department-both in numbers of students studying art and the areas of art studied. A great deal of new equipment had been added to the department to enable students to work in such fields of art as graphics, ceramics, metal, enameling, as well as painting in the various media. Students are exposed to art of the past, but emphasis is placed on the role of art in our life today. East was represented in the county art exhibit during National Education Week and in the regional Scholastic Magazines l-ligh School Art Exhibit. jane Horner was a gold key winner and lan Lemmond received an honor- able mention award. Judy Miller placed first and third for her portraits at the Mecklenburg County Fair. Art students were also active outside of their classes with bulletin boards, scenery, poster, dance decorations, and other service projects. DRAMA TICS The Dramatics Department produced Blitlfze Spirit in December. ln the spring the Dramatics Department re- hearsed and presented three one-act plays for the District Festival. The Dramatics Department also participated in the Fine Arts Festival at East Mecklenburg. MUSIC Although music is offered as an elective course, East Mecklenburg students can well be proud of the talent in their school, as evidenced by the large number of students who participated in this department. The De- Beginning to get ready for "Blithe Spirit," East's dramatics students prepare to make the props. Page Twenty partment of Music at East Mecklenburg consists of the choir, two mixed choruses, a girls' ensemble, and a band. The choir and girls' ensemble made many public ap- pearances throughout the year and certainly strengthened East's public relations. All of the groups participated in the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assemblies at school. Four of the Department of Music's largest projects for the year proved to be great successes.

It is a course com- posed of many subjects, contributing to the aims of both general and vocational education. The department offers two vocational courses of study, either stenographic or bookkeeping. Through a wide selection of carefully planned extra- curricular activities, such as The Future Business Leaders of America Club, guest speakers, field trips, the NOMA award, guidance, and aid placement service, the Business Department prepares all students for business and com- mercial positions which are open to high school graduates. The students elect these courses either as a terminal education or as a means of acquiring efficiency in other fields of education. Last year the NOMA award went to Barbara Keziah. Mrs. Charlotte A.

IIEERIEAD R The day after elections last year, the 1961-1962 cheerleaders began to work. There were many cheers to learn, along with the new ones to create. A paper drive and doughnut sales were summer money-making projects. Also taking up leisure hours in the summer were weekly practices and poster parties. The vacation was climaxed by a week at the beach, but that week was not one of rest. Two or three times a day the cheerleaders were seen on 'the beach practicing their cheers. At the end of the summer the group was at the stadium still practicing. September 1 found the cheerleaders at school for a sophomore pep rally. That same night East had its first football game. The beginning of school marked the time for the cheerleaders to boost spirit by making posters, selling pom-poms, booster cards, boos'er buttons, and decals. The school spirit work- shop was continued with many enthusiastic people helping to boost school spirit. Chartered buses, pep shirts, spirit chains, door decorating, the card sections, and the "after-game sock hops" were all sponsored by the cheerleaders, en- thusiastic students, and the Booster's Club. The year of cheering, from one election to the next, has been filled with many moments which will be fondly remembered by each cheerleader. ' gf?

BASEBAIL With seven wins and eight losses, the East baseball team ended with a losing season. Although it was not a winning season, the team made a good showing with Don Tweed and Gene Sides leading the pitching and the batting. With the experience of the 1961 sea- son and the advice of the senior players, the 1962 team promises to be one of the best yet. Leaving his role as one of East's leading pitchers, David Beamon strains to make first base. Page Ninety i 5 i 4 fs if 4 ti s 5' if ,.! g.

Under the leader- ship of David I-larkey and Ted Edwards we had a suc- cessful season, but our team was not as spectacular as last year. Ted Edwards, David I-larkey, Gene Sides, and Bobby Threatt were the backbone of the team this year. During the games, Gene Sides and Bobby Threatt made many shots from as far out as twenty-five feet.

The council had to strive extra hard this year because the schedule change necessitated meeting after school. Nevertheless the yearly projects proved to be successful and beneficial. As always, Homecom- ing was exciting, and the Variety Show, "Over the Rainbow," was a real treasure. During periodical night sessions the Student Council held workshops for overall evaluation and improvement. Through Public Relations, a stand- ing committee, students from feeder schools and other senior high schools attended the workshops to exchange ideas. For its successful year the Student Council owes much to its adviser, Mr. Charles E. Free, for his loyalty and hard work. Seated: Chuck Barton, Bob Wilson, Carol lean Harkey, Charles Griffin, Mr. Free, adviser. Second row: Carl King, lane Williams, Betsy Ramsey, Cina Peixoto, Culler, Linda Leopold, Powell Huitt, Bill Crier, Bobbie Pool. The Executive Council, the nucleus of the' Student Council, is composed of the officers, standing committee chairmen, and our foreign exchange student. It is the duty of this council to serve the school through the upholding of East's foundation, the Honor System. The members of the Executive Council meet and talk if ' 1 5 . Linda with those who have failed to meet the standards of Honor at East. The Student Council is operated around this body through the leadership of committee chairmen working with a committee of representative students. 2 f 3 : . 5 . , J ' g ..

The new staff began to pour out new ideas and suggestions for the approval and disapproval of the new editor, Meldonna Griffin, and the adviser, Miss Thelma Laws. Miss Laws and Meldonna carried these ideas along with them to the annual S. 1. P. A. Convention at Washington and Lee Uni- versity, where they attended lectures, panels, and round-table discus- sions created to help yearbook staffs in planning for the coming year. They also shared with the representatives from other schools their own experiences and ideas as they participated in panel discussions. Meldonna served on two panels, "The Editor's lobn and "The Selec- tion and lmplementation of the Theme." Miss Laws presided over The Advisers' Round Table for schools with an enrollment of more than 500. As a climax to the three-day convention, at the Awards Luncheon on Saturday the EAST WIND was awarded a First Place Award. Upon returning, Meldonna informed the new staff of what was "inn and "out" in the way of yearbook publication. The idea for the theme was the first big thing. The staff, after having seen and having helped with various themes for the yearbook, chose "East-a Galaxy of Stars" as the theme. Then the work really began. Throughout the months from September 'til February, the staff worked long and hard-but with fun and enjoyment-to produce for you, who made the "galaxy of stars" possible, an ever endearing memory of your '61-'62 school year at East.

A . A-M WND BUSINESS STAFF The EAST WIND Business Staff consists of a business manager, three assistants, and homeroom representatives. Mr. Andrews advises the staff in its work of financing the publication. A good bit of the annuals income comes from ad sales. During the summer, members of the staff began the selling campaign by visiting the business firms in the area and soliciting ads. Sales continued through October. Qther income is derived from the sale of the book and of class pictures. Because of the Business Staff's untiring work, the cost of the annual was held to a minimum. Z 5 5.

Brought in by those ads was well over nine hundred dollars. Last year for the first time students other than those in the journalism classes could join the selling staff. As a result, with the money brought in by the advertisements plus the subscription price paid by each student, The Eagle paid for its own publica- tion. Lena Swofford led the list of those selling the most ads. Anna Flatt and Susan Litwak ran close behind. i ' SJ I. 4 X1 'VII I , 6' 2 u -2 Interest in journalism grew rapidly during the year.

It contained the best essays, poems, and short stories written during the year by the English classes. The purpose of the Eyrie and its staff is to promote an interest in creative and expository writing among the student body and to bring recognition to those whose writings have been chosen most outstanding. lt is the Wish of the Eyrie staff that this magazine will serve as an inspiration to all English students. Qlllll G SCRO l Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society for high school journalists, whose purpose is to encourage and to reward individual achievement in journalism and allied fields. Membership in this organization widens a student's horizon, increases his journalistic perspective, and gives him the prestige of belonging to a scholastic society. The chapter at East Mecklenburg is named for Kays Cary, a columnist and reporter on The Charlotte Observer staff. Each year Mr. Gary presents an award to an out- standing student based on attitude, contribution to his staff, and writing ability. The 1961 award went to Arthur Skibbe.

MAR IIALS' One of the most outstanding service and honor organi- BONNIE EICHER Chief illarshal zations at East is the marshals. This recognition lies in the fact that the marshals are the fifteen students having the highest averages at the end of the first semester of r . . . 5. M' ffm S1 their junior year. 'W' ff A' . 'll' The service of the marshals is evidenced by their mar- fr . . . . ., if . shaling at various school functions, such as the Variety i at ,Q Show'and assemblies. The group is responsible for usher- ' V I , a 1 1 a n ' ing and distributing programs. The big moment of the g . , - marshals is at graduation, when they lead the senior -ar" -' i procession at the Baccalaureate Sermon and at the Com- mencement Services. 1 if .f.,, Members of the National Honor Society, an honor club composed of students with an A-minus average, are selected on the basisiof character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Inductees are chosen the last semester of their junior year or during their senior year. Activities during the year were the induc- tion service, the Faculty Tea, and the Na- tional Honor Society Convention. The club presented the annual savings bond to the "Most Outstanding Sophomore" and a scholarship to a deserving senior who was not a member of the Honor Society. All of these were financed by the sale of personal- ized stationery. Honor Society members have several spe- cial privileges not granted to non-members. For instance: Written excuses are not neces- sary for absences and tardies, and impressive NHS gold satin stoles are worn by members at baccalaureate and graduation. The club's year was quite successful with the help of its new adviser, Miss M. Davis.

Hard-working members of the Business Staff of the EAST WIND who sold at least a hundred dollars worth of ads were invited to join the Hundred Dollar Club, a new club at East this year. These people alone sold more than half the ads for the annual. It is hoped that the existence of this club will inspire future members of the selling staff to be- come eligible for membership.

URI!-'HTA TIUN CUMMITTEE Under the supervision of the Guidance Counselors, the Orientation Committee, composed of many selected upperclassmen, dealt with acquainting incoming students with East's policies and activities. In the spring of 1961, the committee began its work by visiting the various feeder schools and presenting to the ninth graders a program about East Mecklenburg, placing more emphasis on the noneacademic activities of the school. Ei f nv -if ,X .gk i., WA-ig vans- J-X 4-SA H fn... When school began in the fall the new sophomores were offered a concentrated picture of the school and were guided in their homerooms by two upperclassmen, a "big brother and sister." A "Mardi Gras" sockehop, spon- sored by the committee, gave the sophomores a chance to get acquainted with each other. Grientation was, by no means, a short, conclusive pro- gram. It was a continuing process throughout the year of growth and understanding among the students and faculty members. 3 '-,,W,-,,- G'-gn ,..,-L 4 NL Y A4 V BMJ Seated: Betty Harkey, Ioan Wilson, Phil Farrow, Sheryl Key, Ioyce Tumer, Dickie Forbis, Peter Bridge, Mr. Hagan, adviser.

At both the Senior Class Banquet and the Variety Show the Senior members performed their famed "can-canl' in full dress "unif0rm." Of course, "entertainment" is not the main purpose of the Key Club. During the year the club had many projects. Weeks of intensive planning went into both the club-sponsored sockhops-the Zombee Jamboree and the Bohemian Hayless Hay Dance, and much work was done by the club members to make the annual Miss East High contest the big success it was. One of the many things the Key Club did to "help outn around the school was to assist the cheerleaders in decorating the stadium before all home football games. No higher honor can come to a boy than to be accepted as a member of the Key Club, for this is a recognition of his high character, scholarship, and outstanding qual- ities of leadership. Only the most outstanding boys in the student body are accepted. Humlred Eighteen Through many interesting films, speakers, and other types of programs, the El Circulo Espanol furthered the members' knowledge and understand- ing of Spanish-speaking people. The club had two money-making projects during the year: selling engraved plates and selling candy at Christmas. Trying to stimulate an interest in Spanish among the student body, the club spon- sored Spanish Week in February, during which club members decorated bulletin boards and gave Iudy Hankins, secretary, Marty Claus, vice-president, and Nor- man Iunker, president, put up a poster advertising Mexico. devotions over the P.

The pur- poses of the Latin Club are to stimulate interest in the language and classical world and to complement classroom study. This year the club sponsored a sock hop in the fall. The money from this project was used to purchase supplementary books for the Latin classes. On March seventeenth, the mem- bers attended the state Junior Classical League convention at the University of North Carolina at which the club conducted the workshop on "Latin Week." ln the spring the club held Latin Week. During this week the members gave the morning devotions, placed posters around the school, and made bulletin boards for each classroom.

' FRENCH Clll Designed primarily to supplement work in the regular classes, the French Club is an honor club. The programs include lectures, films, and speakers -all of which are planned to acquaint the members with French life and culture. The French Club sponsored the annual French Week, during which the members gave morning devotionals, and exhibited a display of French art for the benefit of the student body. This year, the French department offered, for the first time at East, a course in third year French. Resembling the march on the Bastille, the French Club members crowd around the tape recorder.

The purpose of the Distributive Education Club is to further the knowledge of the business world and also to provide an organization to take care of the social activities which D. E. students might miss by being in school a half-day only. The club was most active during the entire year, participat- ing in local, state, and national conventions which emphasize leadership training. The club sponsored the following projects: preparing a Christmas box for the needy, surveying shopper's preferencesg publishing a local D.E. department newspaper, the Salescheclcg selling Christmas cards, surveying to find out what students like best and least about East, and providing a faculty shopping service. The highlight of the D.E. Clubis activities for the year was the Bosses' Banquet at which the students entertained their employers.

FUTURE IIUMEMAIH-'RS 0F AMERICA Getting a wider understanding of the fields of home economics is one of the main goals of the Future Home- makers of America. This was done through demonstra- tions, speakers, and active club participation. The FHA. gives three degrees of achievement.

The mem' bers learned how to use vocational knowledge to the best of their ability for the benefit of their homes, community, and nation. Two purebred Hereford heifers, purchased by the Citizens Bank of Charlotte, were placed on the farms of Gilbert Black and Leon Ferguson. Mickey Cochran and Perry Harris entered a feeding con- test with beef calves and won a hundred dollars each. Some of the results of the home projects were: Harley Harris won a thirty dollar prize in elec- tricity at the State Conventiong the Sears Roebuck bull, kept by Bill McComb, won fifth place in the stateg and Frank Brawley and Douglas Flowe re- ceived the Carolina Farmer Degree at the State Convention in Raleigh.

The Library Cl-ub, in learning about the organization and use of the library, is able to help the other students in developing and using this competence. Thus the club offered an opportunity to the members to share the re- sponsibility of carrying on a vital and essential part of the school program.

The 1962 query was a timely and important topic of great interest to the debaters themselves. It was: "Be- solved: That the federal government should equalize educational opportunities by means of grants to the states for elementary and secondary schools." Six students, Margie Brown, Harvey Alper, Richard Klein, Nick Leonard, Warren Lonon, and Suzanne Schuster, competed for the four positions on the Varsity Team. Eight students were trained as Novice Debaters. The Varsity debated Forest Hills of Marshville in March. 1 i The Varsity Debaters pose for a picture before getting down to work. K 'Q F X fre' " .

In November, the Choir was chosen to present a musical program for the North Carolina Principals' Conference at Caringer High School. On December 19, it gave a very successful evening Christmas concert in the school auditorium. In February, it showed up in the usual fine style at the District Music Contest. The highlight of the year came in April with the presentation of the musical, "Bye Bye Birdie," before an approving audience. The last performance for the year was singing at the Baccalaureate service for the graduating class of 1962.

This very capable and active choral group performed on numerous occasions this year. During the month of November, the Girls' En- semble sang at the Mint Museum for the Women's Carden Club. The girls sang Christmas carols from many lands while Christmas trees from many lands were displayed. With the Choir, the Ensemble participated in the Christmas assembly program and Christmas concert. Other engagements were at the Rehabilita- tion Center and numerous churches.

These are students who are interested in performing, appreciating, and hearing good music. The Musicians Club meetings, which were held twice monthly, were composed of solo and small group per- formances. A large variety of music was presented: jazz, classical, popular, sacred, and modern. The amateur per- formances helped to give the young musicians experience, poise, and knowledge for their future musical careers. ln the spring of 1961, the club gave a scholarship to a selected senior who 'planned to major in music in college.

At a pep rally on October 27, Judy, clad in her cheer- leading uniform was crowned by Mr. Peter Cerns, a representative of the Carrousel Committee, while hun- dreds of East High students applauded. Riding in the Carrousel Parade and attending the Carrousel Ball November 23 were Judy's greatest honors. In an emerald green formal she represented East while riding in a 1962 white Buick convertible, compliments of Lee A. Folger Buick, Incorporated. The ear was deco- rated uniquely with poinsettias by the Carrousel Com- 4, J mittee of the senior class. The two-day festival afforded f Judy many unforgettable memories.

The tenseness of the evening was lightened by master of ceremonies Brooks Lindsey, better known as Ioey the Clown, and entertainment was provided by East students at intervals. All this was backed by a "Stairway to the Stars" theme. After the judging was narrowed down to fifteen girls, then eight, the top three girls were presented: Carolyn Brents, winner, lean lVlcKissick, first runner-up, and Iudy Chesnutt, second runner-up.

It was fun - except that we had a difficult time choosing winners. All the contestants are very attractive. Our very best wishes to the winners - and to everyone else at school. Thank you for asking us. Janet joins me in wishing you a Happy New Year. Sincerely, Cya Tony Cur is TCfah encl. Z' fv- rim 'l""""' STARS TO JUDGE THE STARS Selecting class beauties was begun by each homeroom's nominating one girl in their class as class beauty. Three class slates were then prepared and each class elected four girls as their beauties. In an attempt to have a non-local judge, twenty-five movie stars were written in early june of 1961. After receiving five acceptances to judge the twelve beauties, Mr. Tony Curtis was decided upon. To add a woman's idea of beauty, he was asked to judge with the assistance of his beautiful wife, janet Leigh. To Mr. and Mrs. Curtis: the feature editor extends sincere appreciation for their fair selection, quick re- sponse, and complete cooperation.

All this made our 1961 Junior-Senior one of the loveliest and most enjoyable ever.

BOYS' G GIRLS' STATE Each june rising seniors who have been nominated by junior teachers and have been selected by local American Legion Posts go as delegates to Boys' and Girls' State. The boys' conclave is held at the University of North Carolina, the girls', at Woman's Col- lege of the University of North Carolina. During their week's stay, the students were divided into cities and precincts which made up the state, and they became members of one of the two political parties. Mayors and other politicians were elected. These experi- ences afforded not only helpful knowledge concerning the phases of govemment, but also about sectional differences in our state.
