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.

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.

Discovery through Experimentation To realize the complexities of change, and to react to each change intelligentlyg this is the meaning of the study of science. In today's ad- vancing, burgeoning society, the need for such realization is apparent. The students of East High have been fortunate enough to study science in well-equipped, highly technical surroundings un- der the guidance of skilled teachers. Under the direction of Mr. Goodwin, our Science Department has guided hundreds of students toward the ful- fillment of their goal: a knowledge of order and reality in a chaotic, active world.
