MR. AND MISS EAST WIND Late in October, the three assistant editors of the EAST WIND met and nominated three boys and three girls for the title of Mr. and Miss EAST WIND. Nominated for the title were: Becky Hamrick and Randy Cate, associate editors, David Stevenson, editor, Wayne Wilson and Pat Hall, associate business managers, and Julie Felts, business manager. These students were nominated because they had contributed much time and effort to the EAST WIND during the year. Early in November, at a called meeting, David Stevenson and Julie Felts were elected Mr. and Miss EAST WIND, 1965, by the editorial staff. The EAST WIND extends sincere congratulations to David and Julie on a job well done.

The 1964-65 school year brought with it many special occasions and afforded many varied activities for its students. Some activities, such as Orientation and Home- coming, were a part of every student’s life. In others, such as Charlotte Exchange and National Merit, only a few students participated. But each activity brought with it a feeling of specialness for the students involved. In the days of King Arthur, a knight’s shield was emblazoned when he had accomplished a particularly brave or noteworthy deed, and he was thus recognized for his outstanding achievement. In the following pages, we emblazon the shields of those students who have distinguished themselves through outstanding leadership, scholarship, citizenship, or service. Remembered also are those special occasions which have highlighted our year. Turid Sverre, one of East’s exchange students, enjoys herself at the Howdy Dance.

CHARLOTTE EXCHANGE During the 1964-65 school year, East was fortunate in having two foreign exchange students, Ake Lowhagen, and Turid Sverre. Ake and Turid were able to visit East as a part of the Charlotte Exchange Program, which also provided for several East students to go abroad during the summer of 1964. During the school year, Ake lived with Bob Armstrong and his family, and was a member of the Student Council, Key Club, Beta Club, and the Honor Society. Ake, who is a native of Hallsberg, Sweden, attended many school functions and was asked to speak at various community activities. Turid, a native of Oslo, Norway, stayed with Linda Dudley and her family. She was a member of the Honor Society, Beta Club, Student Council, and French Club. Last summer, four East students went abroad for ten weeks as a part of the Charlotte Exchange. Linda Hoffner went to France, Mary Ann Caldwell to Chile, Bob Dever to Argentina, and Randy Cate to Norway. Each of these students lived with a native family and toured their respective countries.
