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.

Appreciation was pronounced in '54 as EHS became melody conscious through the efforts of the chorus and the band. 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.
