On the first day of school, students re- turned to East to be greeted by their old friends and to make new acquaintances. It was a time once again for walking down the halls, comparing schedules, and discovering who teachers and classmates would be. With a record enrollment of 2650 pupils packed into an already crowded building, everyone had to learn to adjust to the crowded halls and stairways, the two shifts, and the schedule changes. There were also 200 ad- ditional sophomores at Jefferson, who would begin commuting to East for participation in activities. For sophomores this day was the beginning of a new experience in education, for seniors, it was the ending. But the eagerness and an- ticipation at the prospects of the coming year were felt by everyone-it was good to be back again. After a seemingly short vacation, returning students once again began their everyday walks to school. Students Re-enter School Life Dave Hunter, Sherry Phelan, Bonnie Brauer, and Dave Carlson talk over sum- mer experiences at their lockers.
