,, I A V., . . W - . . Shown here is an ambitious group of people trying to digest the history of modern Europe under the direction of Miss joy FraiPont. Although the term paper was difficult, most students didn't mind history at all. Symbolic of the beginning of a higher education are these students who are shown entering the building for college classes. They are striving for better living through an education. The two fellows at the right seem to be in a very popular spot-in front of the coke machine. Shown here are Leland E. Johnson and R. Frank Johnson. Something new was added to East High this year-the University of Illinois Extension Course. Offered because of the crowded conditions in most universities and colleges throughout the nation, the freshman course provided 138 young men and women, mostly returned service- men, with an opportunity to begin their higher education. Because it included only the freshman year, the name Junior College was soon attached to it. On this and the next few pages, an attempt has been made to bring out some of the outstanding activities of the Junior College. Beginning two weeks after the high school session started in the fall, the college offered courses in rhetoric, accounting, German, hy- giene, mathematics, economics, history, chemistry, and drawing. Classes for the most part were intermixed with the regular high school schedule. The outstanding project of the college students was the establishment of a college lounge in room 226. This room served the dual purpose of a study hall and a recreation room. Students trying to figure out how to diagram a sentence sat side by side with equally earnest checker players. The cokel' machine was a great success with darts and cards following close behind. The library served as a second supply of textbooks to students in most courses. Miss Eleanor Heuver and her staff of assistant librarians were kept busy finding books which the fellows and gals might need for a special economics report, a history assignment, or the theoretical results of a certain chemistry experiment. Writing the news of the class was the job of Fay Carlson whose column, Meet Joe College, was a weekly feature of the EAST HIGHLIGHTS. Early in the first semester the class sponsored a get acquainted mixer in the cafeteria. Very informal, the mixer-goers danced, sang, played the piano, and ate refreshments including cokes, potato chips, and candy bars.
