Well-known to students for his introductions of speakers in the assemblies and his presentations of special awards, Mr. John Paul Collins, principal, was kept busy with administrative duties. Always ready to offer advice on girls' problems, Miss Freda D. Egbert, assistant principal, enjoyed her hobbies-gardening and reading. She showed her in- terest in student art by her bulletin board exhibits. Mr. Lynn F. Woodworth. assistant principal for boys, inspired the Twelfth Man spirit in pep assemblies in addition to his regular administrative duties. Mr. Woody also spoke to students in the cafeteria over the PA. system. Answering questions on programs, colleges, and jobs, the three counselors, Miss Margaret Abramson, Miss Pauline Lohmann, and Miss Ella Monk, were assisted by six advisers. To keep the business office going, the two secretaries joined forces and directed a student staff. TOSS-UP-Assistant principals, Miss Egbert and Mr. Wood- worth. and teacher.

Languages Produce Understanding While beginning German students mastered basic principles and vocabulary, the advanced class pro- gressed to Emil und die Deketivef' The purpose of the course is to learn conversational German and to appreciate the art, music, and literature of the German people. The classes attended a play at the Shubert, '6My Three Angels, in March and interviewed Walter Slezak, German-born star of the cast, on his career. French students read Le Petit Chosei, and acquaint- ed themselves with French customs and culture. To increase their vocabulary and accuracy of pronuncia- tion, students listened to tape recordings of parts of their textbooks. Recordings of individual readings were made and replayed to correct mistakes.

To better understand Spain and South America while studying the Spanish lan- guage and literature, students learned customs and songs through records, motion pictures, slides, and pamphlets. Advanced books were Lluvia Rojav and 'LLos Otros Americasv while beginners used El Camino Real to master grammar es- sentials. First-year Latin students surveyed newspapers for words of Latin origin in addition to written homework in Using Latinf, Maps and cut-outs from Life maga- zine helped students to envision the cus- toms and art of the ancient Romans.

Broadening Political Perceptions To gain insight into causes of present oonditions, students of world history covered the obscure be- ginnings of man to the present. In the junior year, American history added a picture of the immediate background to which this knowledge must be ap- plied. After a semester's study, seniors knew the me- chanics of the Federal government. Electives in so- ciology and world problems spotlighted current af- fairs to inspire interest and research. x Putting social studies into action, Charles Parker represented Eastern in the American Legion's I Speak for Democracyn contest. He rated honorable mention in the city-wide semi-finals in November. Virginia Arnold delivered a three-minute talk on citi- zenship to the Daughters of the American Revolution in February.

Puzzled as to why, biology students fol- lowed the trail to gain for themselves inti- mate knowledge of the workings of crayfish and earthworms. Physics enthusiasts found explanations for weather and light refraction and discovered the essentials of nuclear phy- sics. Chemistry classes learned the rudiments of atomic structure and carbon, fostering a desire for exploration of the scientific field.

X 1 X gg i To prepare for further education or for the business world, thirty per cent of the student body enrolled in algebra, geometry, business arithmetic, and ap- plied math courses. Record-keeping class demonstrates usages of math in business, whereas sciences, Cartography, and architecture show academic applica- tions of mathematics. The high-minded Easternite investi- gated and found that math is not only necessary for college entrance and spe- cial training but is also helpful in all pursuits. Therefore. he charted his course to include arithmetic to solve the problems that will be presented in daily living. Future Einsteins Formulate Theories Effort at .x 43 Four art classes went daily from fantasy to realism and from nature to abstraction, us- ing watercolors, oil paints, and black as well as colored inks. Other projects included wood and marble sculpture. Yvorking for bet- ter composition, freer movement, and greater rhythm, design classes opened with exercises in which students 'gtook a line for a walk across the paper. Ninety pupils, besides learning technique, were encouraged to consider art as a medium of personal expression. Therefore, individual- ity became the keynote of classwork. Aiding the Art Center Committee, art clas- ses spent class time to set up exhibits for the Oriental art show. Entries in a city-wide ex- hibition of art work in the public schools at the Smithsonian Institute rated Eastern a mention in the Washington Post art column. Mr. Leon Berkowitz served as chairman of the senior high division of the show, while Mrs. Margaret Persina headed the junior high division. To perpetuate a winning tradition, twenty-five students entered the Scholastic art awards contest. The junior high level artists painted with watercolors, working for control, color, and composition. Crafts projects were paper sculpture and three dimensional posters fash- ioned from colored paper. lNTROlHfClNC ORlENT.-XL CULTURE-.-Xrt stu- tlf-nt-. liobi-rl Roberts. William Warren.

Easternis thirty-eight piece marching band, the first in Washington, performed at football games and made interhigh op- ponents' school letters while playing their school song. Returning to Easternls half of the field, the blue-uniformed band played Eastern's alma mater. Drum ma- jor Norman Scott directed the band on the field although it was instructed and or- ganized by Mrs. Helen C. Shaw. For the first time Eastern also fielded a drum ma- jorette unit. Attired in Easternis light blue, the nine-girl squad was captained and instructed by Dorothy McCarty. Adding a new tradition, the chorus, un- der the direction of Miss L. Jeanette W'ells, presented the first Christmas Pre- lude with Mr. Wi. Barrett l'Santa Clausl Fuchs as guest soloist. Student announcer Robert Dimond emphasized that the spirit of the program followed the Christian significance of the season. The chorus, joined by alumni, closed the annual Spring Serenade with Waring's arrangement of The Battle Hymn of the Republic,,'which they sang over sixty-three radio stations on the Dave Carroway show on Lincoln's birthday. +f- K, 4- .- ,. -z.

Mrs. Berry sponsors Y-Teens. Home economics pupils at the end of the year glimpsed the wonders of housekeeping in the elec- tronic age. A ST2,000 renovation provided new equipment, including electric refrigerators and four electric ranges, ten gas ranges, storage rooms complete with shelving and various kinds of cab- inets. The home ec. unit was provided with a dishwashing machine, a deep freeze, and a garbage disposal unit for each of the three laboratories. One is for foods and clothingg the second, arranged in units, is the general foods lab and connects with the living room. Each unit has its own stove, cabinets, work surface with double sink, and table with four chairs. The third is a larger combined nursing and child care laboratory. Amid daytime hours of hammers in action, cooking classes during the year had to concentrate on m-ovies and texts in school and on carrying out assignments as home projects.

A series of slides, movies, and maps demonstrated basic mechanics and engineering. The intricacies of internal and external combustion and diesel engines were uncovered. while the study of jet planes con- sidered wing and power loading. Trips were taken to Anacostia High School, where students had experience in a link trainer, and to Bolling Air Base, where latest models used by the Air Force were surveyed. Map-makers and readers acquired background in cartographv class, while precision was the watchword of mechanical drawing classes in practicing the ac- curacy essential to drafting. Cartography pupils learned to operate instruments used in laying out maps.

After ratifying and adopting a constitution. which they sent to the California Junior Statesmen Legislature for approval. members met with Commissioner Renah Camalier to discuss visiting places of interest in Washington, such as the jail and The Home for the Aged. Organized under the city government form, the club elected as officers Robert Dimond, mayor: Violet Former, vice-mayor: and Yir- ginia Arnold, secretary. Topic of the George Washington Conference was 'How Can Present Procedure and Practice of Con- gressional lnvestigation Be Improved? The program consisted of speakers from Senate investigation com- mittees, an open discussion and group discussion, fol- lowed by the nomination and election of student of- ficers from representatives of area public high schools. ln an open forum the assembly adopted rules for Sen- ate investigations. lncentive was provided by the George Washington University Speech Department's offering three full-tuition scholarships to winners of the conference.

'i' To instill patriotism and an awareness of the job-to-be-done into Eastern's one hundred and fifty man regiment, drills were held in the school armory, the National Guard Armory, and on the drill field. Mass for- mation, which required twenty-five hours to perfect, taught basic military principles and constituted the main drills. The regiment is composed of two battalions, each of which is divided into two companies. Supply sergeants for each company distribute uniforms, sabres, and rifles to their companies. Monthly contests offering movie tickets and ice cream as prizes were aimed at keeping the units in order and neat at all times. Judges, officers from Second Army Head- quarters, awarded Company B two vict-ories. Other competitions for the corps were Com- pany, Battalion, and General Excellence. For the second year the four companies were shooting for the Honor Company Award which was w-on by Company D last year. Twelve officers were awarded their commis- sions in the ceremonies at the National Guard Armory. Captain Harry Litts of Company A ranked highest of all Eastern cadets at his graduation in February.

Ticket sales for a November variety show netted three hundred dollars and candy sales added fourteen dollars to the sum. Posters ad- vertising the annual helped forty-two home- room representatives to boost the subscrip- tion percentage to the goal of four hundred. A down payment of fifty cents was required to reserve a book. Sections 1228 and 2148 achieved one hundred per cent subscriptions J V17 under representatives Mary Jo Lewis and An- nette Simon. Hall displays gave photo pre- views to boost sales. When Shirley Kendall was graduated in February. Cornelia Faasen took over as busi- ness manager. The Business Staff which makes all appointments for the yearbook sen- ior pictures is eligible for membership in Quill and Scroll and for HE certificate awards.

Home economics students served as waitresses and were given a free meal and admission to the dance in the gym. The gym was deco- rated with massive posters suggesting a gay circus motif. Dances Add Social Sparkle THE LIGHT FANTASTIC-Alumni enjoy the dance after their yearly reunion ban- quet in the cafeteria. Assorted activities entertained Easternites in the current year. Thirty-four mid-year grads joined seniors from Coolidge, McKinley, and Wilson for the first interhigh senior prom. Held at the Shoreham Hotel, the dance featured a grand march, led by the class officers from each school. Attracting hep jitterbugs were Friday evening dances given for teenagers by the Eastern Branch of the Boys' Club of Vvashington. Music students who purchased tick- ets and presented notes from home were excused for three concerts by the National Symphony Orchestra. A work census revealed that jun- ior and senior high students listed jobs from baby-sittingu to French teaching. In the senior high 18.9 per cent of the boys and 14.6 of the girls are employed, while in the jun- ior high division 19 per cent of the boys and 15 per cent of the girls hold iobs. HOP. HOP.

At Christmas they sent baskets filled with candy to Mr. Collins, Miss Egbert, and Mr. Woodworth. For their Christmas project Red Cross delivered to St. Elizabeth's Hospital fifty stockings filled by the forty- two homerooms. Baby clothes were made for D.C. General Hospital, and boxes were sent to children overseas. Because of lack of interest to senior high students, chess turned into a junior high sport. Before actually trying chess, members played checkers until they were taught individually by someone who knew the rules. Allied Youth sponsored the Halloweien dance, which featured a fortune-teller, Madame C.D. Future, played by Doris Mason. At AY's bowling party Nor- man Scott was high sc-orer. Twenty members were all wet after the splash party at the Ambassador Hotel pool. AY played Santa by collecting toys for unfortunate children. Also on the agenda was a Hcooli' hayride in mid-January, despite five inches of snow. Great Falls was the destination via moving vans. Besides in-school extra-curriculars, qualified stu- dents marched in the military reserves as did faculty members Maj. John Collins, Col. Lynn Woodworth, Lt. Alverta Dillon, Maj. Harold Stevenson, Lt. Col. Ralph Watt, Lt. Col. Herman Littman, First Lt. Rob- ert Hart, and Capt. Samuel Williams, who served in World War ll.

My V 2 5 'S-Gi ei' 3 Gridmen Stalk Playoffs In a valiant effort to regain the football prom- inence lost by a third place finish in '52, the Rambler gridmen struggled through an uphill battle, finally reaching a place in the playoffs before being humbled for the second time by a spirited Anacostia eleven, 13-0. This loss, which eliminated the Tide from the football picture, was highly justified by the fact it was the Blue's third game within six days. Although the Tide entered the fray gamely, their energy had been tapped by a stubborn Western team, whom the Ramblers had to beat twice in four days. The biggest problem when the Ramblers open- ed spring drills was the fact that the whole first string backfield had been graduated in June '53. The problem was greatly altered by Coach Dick Mentzer, when he switched towering Ed Mulli- gan. for the past two seasons an end, to the quar- terback post, Ed proved he could handle the position as he was topped only by Phil Perlo of Roosevelt. Eastern received a big break when Bob Ellis transferred back to Eastern, after having moved to Maryland. Bob fitted into the fullback spot and played himself into the All-High backfield. Besides leading the interhigh loop in scoring. nTuna', was immovable on defense and was the driving spirit of the squad. Halfbacks Emmett Bland, Cay Clark, and Dave Edington com- pleted a well-rounded backfield. Opening the holes in the line and making a good defensive team were such stalwarts as Mike Monaghan, Clyde Shippe, George Eliades, Ronnie Winters, Don Beck, Dick Bosmans, and Bob Hays. They were flanked on either end by John Payne and Charlie Sampson. SLOW DOWN-Tide halfback Cay Clark prepares to haul down W S L's Jim Rogers from behind as Charlie Sampson moves in to assist.

They received their worst licking of the season from Navy Plebes. 12-4, followed by an upset to Wilson, 3-1, but the Blue snapped back to edge Roosevelt, 3-2, during a hailstorm. The across-the-river foes, the Anacostia Indians, then knocked the Ramblers off their pedestal by edging them, 2-1, but Littman's charges had already wrapped up the title. In the first playoff game the Tideis bats rang with an 11-1 conquest of Western, lifting Eastern into the finals.

Rebuilding his squad with almost entirely green recruits, Mr. Howard Bristor, newly named track mentor, attacked his job with enthusiasm. Centering his team around a few proven veterans, Bristor opened his drills early, having the boys work out in their gym periods. Carrying the bulk of the Tidels pointage again was six-foot three-inch Graham Pennington, who took part in low and high hurdles, high-jumping, and sprints. Other veterans who helped bolster the green Rambler team were shotputter Bill Hix, Buddy Fontana, who ran relays and was in the pole vault, and Buddy Ison, a miler. ,lan Jankowski, who is returning to take charge of the '54 team, will be blessed with an experienced squad. Eastern's first meet with Coolidge was halted by the weather, with the Coolidge cindermen leading 46-4-1 and four events unfinished. Graham Pennington, hampered by a knee injury while playing football, placed third in the high jump. However, Danny Few took up the slack in this department, winning the event with a leap of 5 feet 4. inches. The Colts' Harvey Love outraced team- mate Vick Fram and Rambler Dave Edington to carry the 100-yard dash in 10.8 seconds. Coolidge continued its winning ways, claiming the 880-yard relay. The Ramblers attempted to overcome their handicap by net- ting the next five out of six events. Bill Lawton and Bob Adams of the Blue gained the -14-O-yard dash in that order. Placing second in the mile relay at Tech in the Inter- high meet. four Rambler cindermen obtained medals for their performances. Enabling Eastern to win the only honors of the season by placing seventh with 8111 points, Dennis Kemenyas, Allen Drew, Alvin Bean, and Gene Adams gained the medals as well as their letters.

Apparently many students are interested in becoming the Presi- dent of the Lvnited States, or so it would seem by the fast growing popularity of golf at Eastern. Competing against seven schools. the Eastern golf team, which is in its fourth year. accomplished its goal of building up interest in golfing among students. This fact was shown by the twenty-two boys who came out for golf. Led by lettermen Ralph Robey, John Payne, Ronnie Edwards, Shat Fong, Mike Ryon, Emmett Bland, and David Pohlmann and coached by P.E. teachers John ,lankowski and Bobby Hart, the team worked out during gym pe- riods using practice balls and rubber mats with rubber balls at- tached. ,a.fn:.:- -31 Ramblerette Program Features Archery With aching muscles and bruised shins and aspira- tions for a successful season. the Ramblerette hockey team opened practice in September, coached by Miss Myrta Wiley.

'N.- 'vii ll I f A N Looking Aloft To the seniors who are seeking the final plane-success-which spans the transition from high school student to citizen of the world, the view is instinctively up. Each graduate foresees success at a differ- ent level. While no two concepts of achieve- ment are exactly alike, two ideals may meet or overlap, but still the central portion, or the individual himself, is novel. Life is in itself each new experience brighter boundaries of the knowledge become so dividual must discover and to content himself. Along els, the graduates realize have one common focal goal of the civilized causing love of self to abdicate humanity and appreciation of nature. Certain that the future holds what want to achieve, the seniors, set forth to attain the heights. f Junior High Enlarges Scope... Seeing friends between classes, buying lunch in the cafeteria, joining clubs, and meeting at three for a ucokel' becomes associated with school life. The seventh grader found that the step from elementary school to junior high was a big one. He was expected to be more nearly adult than before and to be able to take more responsibility. Between a rookie and a senior-this is the plight of the eighth grader. He has reached the mid-year of junior high life and become better accustomed to school rules and planning. He feels more at ease and at home. The time comes to decide between academic and business courses.

The eighth grader takes a more active part in school life, sending homer-oom representatives to Student Council. He participates in fire and civil defense drills and is subjected to standardized tests. Foreign visitors ob- serving educational methods became a frequent sight. Since Eastern is the only junior-senior high school in the District, he enjoys sharing parts of sen- ior high life by going on chartered busses to inter- high games played away from home. Music in the cafeteria during lunch time heightens his spirits as do gab-fests with his pals in the auditorium. 2' 91' 'V' F UZ' 35 1 3?- A. -.

Starting afresh on the course they have chosen, eighth graders set out to make a new record for themselves as they prepare for further education and eventually their life's work. As academic stu- dents begin their study of either Latin or French and business students take typing and introduction to busi- ness. new problems are confronted. Attending games and cheering their team on to victory, the eighth graders become ardent supporters of all athletic con- tests. showing that one word-enthusiasm-can de- scribe SA students.

Students prepare for graduation, that day for which they have dreamed and planned for five semesters. More nearly-adult students emerge from junior high to consider the problems of senior high life ahead of them. As the oldest students in the junior high school, they receive special privileges, such as being excused to visit vocational schools, missing classes to practice for graduation, and choosing elec- tives instead of the straight academic or business course.
