Assemblies Offer Entertainment and Learning Assemblies played an important part in school life. Although East is changing, the face presented by all the Eagles under one roof at an assembly was still one of a well- disciplined student body. Many experi¬ ences can be gained at an assembly; at a special exchange assembly, students not only heard East’s own exchange students but those of other schools as well. An as¬ sembly can be a learning experience; at the beginning of the school year, several orientation assemblies were held. One of the most popular assemblies was the pep rally, held before certain games to boost school spirit. Representatives of several clubs are cleverly costumed for a skit during the Club Week assembly. Exchange student, Thomas Fischer, speaks at the exchange assembly. The Pep Band is an important part of any pep rally. 15

Lunch Is a Time for Conversation Lunch time was the scene of various activities. The senior class made an effort to use their patio more of¬ ten, which resulted in a new game. Boys vied for the honor of blowing the most pennies into holes on the patio tables. Other more constructive tasks were pur¬ sued by those students in the library. There, they were able to get ahead in their homework or perhaps to catch up. Always a popular place during lunch, the Student Lounge served a variety of purposes. Tickets to athletic events were sold as well as the usual traffic stickers. Other students used the lounge simply as a place to re¬ lax and talk to friends during the hurried lunch period. The library is the scene of quiet study during lunch. Excitement reigns on the Senior Patio during the penny-blowing tour¬ nament. 17
