Eleven sports including basketball, table tennis, softball, speedball, golf, archery, volleyball, modern dance, and badminton are offered in this program. The Physical Education Department strives to gain the interest of every studentg and, therefore, many of the sports are offered for the beginner as well as for the advanced student, giving equal opportunity to each girl. A varsity team is selected from many of the groups, and this team then enters into inter-high school competition. The athletic letter at Eastern is awarded on the basis of points. A student is given a definite number of points for each of the various activities she enters, and these points go toward the winning of an award. The awards are respectively: small E, large E, star, pin, and large star. In these ways and many more Physical Education is made an exciting and interesting part of life at Eastern.

Gifs: D gs. as H513 'Y The home economics department, under the direction of Miss Marjorie Wills, participates in an active and vital program. This department has the problem of preparing the students of today to become the homemakers of to- morrow. These students must be taught to manage the home efficiently and expertly. This department actually falls into two distinct divisions - that of cooking, and that of sewing. ln sewing classes, students are instructed in the intricate details necessary for successful sewing, en- abling them to create attractive and appealing garments. Similarly, cooking students learn the basic skills of the culinary lift by preparing all types of meals from a simple breakfast to an elaborate dinner. Supplementing this knowledge, cooking students are taught the essentials of nutrition, flower-arranging, and child care. The home economics department is one of the most generous departments at Eastern. In addition to contri- buting cakes and cookies to the annual Parent-Teacher Association Christmas Concert, the members of this sec- tion can often be found assisting at many of the teas given at Eastern.
