Classroom work gives individuals a chance to show personal accomplishments Seniors in their classes are often tested on their work, allowing them to demonstrate their proficiency or point out their weaknesses. At East where education is the focal point of school activity, classroom exercises are standard procedure throughout the students’ three years at East, culminating in the senior year as students prepare for college or a business career — and for life.

allowing students to participate in a variety of events East’s eighty-eight-voice choir often sings at public performances, this one on the staircase of Ivey’s Department Store in Charlotte. Such performances in addition to daily rehearsing develop the talents of many students, not only those in the choir but also those in the chorus classes and girls’ ensemble as well. Frequent informal dances offer all students an opportunity to relax from their studies and extra-curricular activities by par- ticipating in currently popular dances. At the Howdy Dance, Seniors Janyce Howell, Anne Bistany, Lamar Phillips, and Tony Little in the foreground “twist” as underclassmen visit and join in the dancing. Page Eleven

The guidance department always offers a cheerful mood of helpfulness as Student Council Secretary Joyce Ketchie, Erverine Campbell and Ann Bistany, office assistants, and Registrar, Mrs. Wright, help a new student with his class schedule. From each student’s first day at East until he graduates, the guidance department plays an important part in his school life — not only in scheduling his classes, but also in helping him choose a college or vocation, or resolve personal problems.
