Making this communication possible is the function of all educators. Much of this job, however, rests primarily upon the shoulders of the language teacher. Capably supervised by Mr. Varrenti, the Lan- guage Department at East High has offered such intriguing courses as Russian, Latin, French, Span- ish, Italian, and German. In providing each of these languages, our Language Department has made a significant contribution toward the eventual goal of communication between youth, among people. sen, Mr. Aguglia, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Sutton.

DEPARTMENT HEAD-Mr. Toms. sq' - f Q ENGLISH-Sitting' Mr Palleschi Miss Dolce Mrs Wisdom through Words The formation of a dependable set of values is the main goal of youth. In order to clearly express these values we must possess an intelligent know- ledge of the English language. At East High School our English Department has contributed much toward providing us with this knowledge. Through the use of novels, plays, poetry, and stimulating discussion, a battery of twenty-two teachers, headed by Mr. Toms, has provided us with the essential abilities to reach, to relate, and to communicate.

Encouraging the Use of Logic One of the most important attributes of the thoughtful, aware person is the ability to think and reason logically. Mathematics provides a sound basis for the development of this ability. Through subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, and Trigo- nometry, we learn the techniques involved in working from specific facts to general conclusions. The Mathematics Department at East High School, ably headed by Mr. Crane, has instilled these techniques in countless numbers of students. It has enabled all of them to develop skills in reasoning which will be invaluable to them in the future.
