In Class. In an average high school, being In Class may be bor- ing, mind boggling, tedious and point- less. East High is not an average high school. Being In Class at East is challenging, dramatic, fun and adven- turous. For example, how many high schools have a teacher who has pet guinea pigs in his classroom, such as our very own Mr. Ray Patrilla, biol- ogy teacher, pictured at left? How many teachers are there who swap recipes in the audio-visual room? Still, there are other teachers who have to be dragged screaming and kicking into the twentieth century. The teaching styles are varied throughout East High School. To make the ncws game more interest- ing, a teacher designed a football lield on the overhead. The class was then divided into two teams and tried to score touchdowns by answering questions about the past week's news events. Whatever the teaching style is, East High is the place to be when one wants to be ln Class IN IN i ND Nl IN CLASS 25

26 LIBRARY ASSISTANTS Student library assistants lend extra hands and minds to East High librar A library is a place for learning and studying. In order to have a peaceful atmosphere, the librarians were there to help students find what they needed. Mrs. June Kalsem, head librarian, and Mrs. Ann Hoehle, assistant librarian, were busy answering questions and finding materials for students, The East High library is one of the best libraries in Des Moines. The librarians asked interested students to become assistants and help keep it that way. Before becoming a library assistant each per- son had to agree to and sign a contract that explained the responsibilities he or she was to undertake. During each period, two of the 12 to 14 helpers checked books in and out, stamped new books, alphabetized cards. filed cards in the card catalog and deleted information from the compu- ter. One student worked at the circulation desk and the other assistant worked at the magazine desk to help people find the magazines they needed. Some students worked every day and oth worked on alternating gym days during th study halls. The assistants received one fou credit per semester.
