Chris Lange, senior, a foreign exchange student from Germany was welcomed. He came from the Ruhr area in Germany and stayed with the Moorhead and Merriam families. He commented that the schools in Germany didn ' t have swimming pools or tennis courts. In the Music Department, Mr. Carnes, after teaching 10 years at East, resigned. Miss Chamberlin replaced him after he was replaced for a brief period by Mrs. Drucker. Choirs were given new names: Sca- rlet Company, Scarlet Choir, and Concert Choir.
