The new marker identifies East to all who pass by. 1 ■ East now has a tree to adorn its front court yard. Shrubbery around the flag pole adds to the attractiveness of the school entrance. Nen projects add beauty and charm to East’s campus The latest addition to the Beautification Project is this beginning of a new walkway system between the library and auditorium. Although the Inter-Club Council has taken over the rapidly growing Beautification Project, its present success can be attributed to the work of its creators, the East Meck- lenburg Key Club. Last year’s Vice-President, Tommy Thomas, suggested school beautification and led the way in obtaining a designer to make sketches of possible projects. With financial aid from the Student Council and other school organizations East proudly displays the new en- trance marker, the tree, and the shrubbery shown in the pictures on this page. 21

culminates the year’s activities A sweep of the dance floor shows grand march participants enjoying a spotlight number. On April 30, the 1964-65 Junior-Senior Prom was held at Charlotte’s Park Center. The theme, “An Old South- ern Evening,” was chosen by the decorations committee. An old Southern mansion, erected on stage, served to balance the Loonis McGlohon Orchestra at the ballroom’s opposite end. An array of streamers joined over- head centralized the dance floor while flower arrange- ments at tables added individ- ual beauty for those couples desiring to relax in informal conversation. The highlight of the evening was the Grand March in which East “celebrities” were recog- nized for their achievements throughout the past year. Students enjoy socializing as they dance.
