Music Department Eastern's reputation for fine harmonic singing by the entire stu- dent body at its assemblies is main- tained under the direction of the Music Department. Mrs. Anne Codd, Mr. Gerald Eyth, and two new faculty members, Mrs. Ruth Moyer and Mr. Glenn Bunch, see that every student has at least one period of general music each week from which she may learn to ap- preciate both vocal and instru- mental music. For girls who are in- terested in still further musical study, Eastern offers a special music curriculum and a music ma- jor, as well as the opportunity to participate in its extra-curricular music groups, the Clee Club, Choir, Chorus, and Orchestra. ufh Moyer Mr. Gerald Eyth 22

Mathematics Department In today's space race, with its greater emphasis on physics, another important science is that of mathematics. Eastern's excellent program for girls interested in this field is headed by Miss Margaret Men- ton. The Mathematics Department now of- fers courses in general mathematics, alge- bra, plane and solid geometry, and trigo- nometry, along with calculus. Through the study of mathematics, the students not only master the world of figures, but also acquire better understanding of many of the principles guiding their daily lives, and come, to know the need for accurate calculations and logical reasoning.
