o I -ng v . . I .leaf Mrs. Kenneth Fletcher A FAMILIAR FACE AT EJHS Mrs. Fletcher has become a familiar figure during the past months at Eastern. With Mr. Yarger's appoint- ment to the position of assistant principal at Central Junior High, the yearbook was without an official photographer. Mrs. Fletcher came to our rescue. For the tremendous job she has done for us, we nomi- nate her for honorary membership in the Eastern Junior High School family. E. J. H. S. ACTIVITIES Other than activities such as the Student Council, the EASTERNER, the Choral groups, and sports, which are in- cluded on the other pages of 'Gator Tale-s, Eastern provides organizations to fulfill a wide variety of interests and en- thusiasms. The Chess Club, sponsored by Mr. Peterson, meets regularly on Thursdays after school. The Radio Club, under the direction of Mr. Kovach, visited a radio station and the high school radio club, learned the different codes, and built radios at home. The seventh grade Op Hop, eighth grade Carnival Dance, and the ninth grade Prom gave everyone a chance to try out the wildest of the new dances. The seventh and eighth graders monkeyed, hitch-hiked, and watusied to the music of the Whailers and our own Belaires and Mon- archs. The ninth graders at their prom, being naturally more subdued, danced! Their night to roll was the Lan- guage Banquet in June. With togas, berets, and pinatas, ,each language community dined in the manner of its country, and the evening was climaxed by a chariot race on the playing field. The Art Fair gave Eastern's artists a chance to display and even sell their chef d'oeuvres to an admiring audience of parents and fellow students. There are also many school service organizations made up of students working to help us all. The audio- visual squad, under the direction of Mr. Patrie, learn to operate and keep all of Eastern's proiectors, tape recorders, and record players in working condition. They also offer their services to grateful teachers. The school store assistants not only staff our store, but also, under Mr. Schongalla's guidance, organize the Book Fair in the fall. Mr. Harding's assistants help him with the quantities of work needed to keep our library running smoothly. The many books, sweaters, etc. lost each day are collected and kept by the Lost and Found committee. The Recording Committee keep records of all our main activities in a scrap book. Civil Defense aids are trained for duty on communication, radiation or first aid squads in case of an emergency. These clubs, committees, and other organizations afford an opportunity for Easterners to develop their own interests and are a source of enjoyment to all involved. THE RECORDING COMMITTEE

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS J. Fountain, A. Perkins, J. Enck, K. Hayes, C. Murphy THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT At EJHS there is a student-elected government. It consists of a council with a representative from each homeroom which performs legislative duties and officers who are elected from all three grades. To be eligible to hold one of these offices, a student must represent our school well in all areas and meet standards set by the constitution. This year John Enck served as our president, Arthur Perkins as vi-ce-president, Karen Hayes as secretary, J. Christopher Mur- phy as assistant secretary, John Fountain as treasurer, and John Rist as as- sistant treasurer. Mr. Schumann is advisor to this group. The iudicial branch consists of the student court and the monitors. Stu- dent court, with Mr. Kent as faculty advisor, is composed of iudges elected from each of the grades. This year it functioned under the leadership of chief iudge, Ted Cuthbertson with judges Libby McKeithen, Doug Finch, Peter Love, Philip Davis, Margaret Moore, and Elizabeth Disario. The monitor system works in co- operation with the student court under the management of Mr. Kovach, from the faculty, and Paul Betz, chief monitor. The monitor staff has done a great service in keeping our school running in an orderly manner. Q ln October, the Student Council sponsored the Pop Hop to celebrate thegencl of Eastern's most successful membership drive. Ninety-five percent of the student body became members, and almost 650 were in attendance at the dance. Both the membership drive and the social committee are spon-sored by Mr. Snead. Along with the usual events and activities, the student council re- vived the yearbook at Eastern this year. The student government is an important functioning part of the school. The decisions made in the council meetings are for the betterment of our school society, and the activities of its many service committees play an important role in life at Eastern. We are fortunate to have this training and to be given the privilege of making our school a better one. Mr. Schumann, Sponsor
