Jw' Vikk 5:,,,. , :,., ,....,. N., ..,- .aa PRINCIPAL-Charles N. Clark VICE-PRINCIPAL-Fred R. Myers Running a large, metropolitan high school is never an easy job: it is often a complex and difhcult one. Not only must a good Principal keep in con- tact with all facets of the scholastic life in his school, he must somehow keep abreast of the prevailing mood of his students. Mr. Clark has always been remarkably accessible, considering the demands of his schedule. This accessibility, this willingness to communicate with his students, is perhaps the IIIOSI important quality conveyed by a good Principal. Mr. Clark more than adequately gets the message across, and for this we, the Orieuf staff, wish to thank him. AT THE TOP The job of Vice-Principal is in some ways more undefinable than that of the Principal's, although just as complex. Mr. Myers works in close coordi- nation with Mr. Clark, and both play the greatest part in the management and direction of the school. Mr. Myers is known for his sense of humor and his willingness to be of help to any student seeking his council. Those students who have received help from Mr. Myers, along with the Orient staff, wish to thank him.

Mrs. Beatrice Bushnell Dedication: IVIrs. Bushnell The average student is indeed fortunate if ex- posed to a mere handful of truly effective teachers in his entire high school career. Such teachers are rare, and all too often, unsung. We at East High are fortunate in that we have at least one such teacher among us: Mrs. Bushnell. In her 15 years at East High, Mrs. Bushnell has earned great respect from both students and facul- ty, and this rightly so. Her teaching ability is indisputable. Mrs. Bushnell's obvious patience and desire that each student understand has been great- ly appreciated by hundreds of math students. More than this ability, however, Mrs. Bushnell generates a genuine warmth and concern for her students. Her renowned after-school sessions, in which stu- dents can receive all the mathematical assistance they need, are tangible proof of this concern. This union between professionalism and human warmth is all too seldom found among teachers. It is this union which makes Mrs. Bushnell so special. In recognition of this quality, We of the Orient staff dedicate this book to Mrs. Beatrice Bushnell. Patience . . . 15 Instructing a class . . .

Mr. Lambert Mrs. Parthoens The school Deans are the disciplinary force within the school. They possess an insight and un- derstanding into student problems that is perhaps unequaled by any other administration member. The job of the Deans is undoubtedly one of the most difficult of all. They must keep the students orderly and well-behaved, but not alienate them in the process. They remain receptive to ideas and suggestions presented by the students themselves. 15 Miss Carnahan Mr. Youngman
