Ken Cantrell sings before an assembly of music and drama students. Outstanding Speakers Talk At Assemblies Senior girls, alias the football players, huddle at a pep assembly. Among the various facets of school life are the informative and enjoyable assemblies. East takes pride in these enlightening and interesting programs. At the commencement of the school year, several assemblies were held to orient sophomores to East’s ever expanding way of life. Special departmental assem¬ blies were planned which featured such noted speakers as Ken Cantrell, renown Broadway singer, and Dr. Edward Weiant, noted speaker on political science. The afternoon pep assem¬ blies, although being in a lighter vein, were just as important in contributing to the spirit of life at East. Marshal Debbie Haan helps to alleviate traffic problems during an after¬ noon assembly. 16
