MATHEMATICS-Miss K. Connor Jones. Mr. William Trail, and Mr. Robert White demonstrate alternate ways of drawing circles. One hundred twenty-six personal savings accounts and the funds ledger, which is comprised of accounts for school organizations, were handled by the Bank Staff of fourteen. The bank, located in room 106, is affiliated with the City Bank of Washington. Funds are deposited and draw one and one-half per cent interest, which is passed on to the de- positors. The Bank Staff sells defense stamps, movie, game, and bus tickets. Members of the staff receive credit for working before, after, and during school, paving the way for mastery of higher finance in their post-Eastern life.

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

Science lnterprets Discoveries NEIQTRON EXPERTS - Walter Scott and Veronica Kings study aiomic structure in chemistry class. 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.

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.
