DD UT ENTER HOME ECONOMICS-Miss Helen Beck and Mrs. Emma Berry look over the blueprints for the remodelling of the home ec. department. 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.

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.
