Divided into two squads Warsity and Junior Varsityi, these girls whipped up the enthusiasm of the spectators at the athletic contests. The Varsity squad cheered the Varsity team on to victory while the Junior Varsity squad was present at the Junior Varsity and the girls' team games. Increasing school spirit was the primary goal of the girls as they revised old cheers and introduced new ones. They looked for new ways of building Long, J. Hackney, H. Richardson; Second Row.- 5.

Along with their duties at the games, the cheer- leaders sponsored two pep rallies icomplete with bonfires and burning dummiesi, one before the first home game, and the other before East Coast Chris- tian Colleges Tournament. Together with the introduction of Eastern's first fight song and the presence of the pep bond, the cheerleaders' infectious spirit spread throughout the school this year to bring spirit and interest to a new peak. .;-;u.s;.t.,....-w..v.-..V....'.........o-s.-;7..,;....,-'.....ewe,.s-.a..........,.... . . s. t . . i

THE 10G S TAFF The problem of presenting the students at Eastern with a tangible memory of this school year was capably solved by the 1958-59 Log staff. The plan- ning for this book actually began last spring, al- though the bulk of the work was accomplished dur- ing this year. Under the dedicated guidance of Dr. J. Wesley Ingles the stat? worked to produce a yearbook which would be of the highest possible quality. A full schedule of picture-taking, writing, and general technical work greeted the members of the staff as they returned to school this fall and much hard work ensued. Through the co-operation of the members of the student body the deadlines were met and the goal was achieved. . ?mswnr s The acquisition of a newa-painted, roomy office on the third Hoor of Walton Hall made working con- LOG EDITORS ditions much more Pleasemt cmd- enabled staff mem- J- Hester, M.

A fast bullyeand the game begins. HOCKE Y The girls' hockey team of Eastern began a long term project this year. The project consisted of a pre-school hockey camp and planned regular prac- tices throughout the season. The idea of regular scheduled games was also included. The hockey camp, organized by Mrs. Crawford, the newly appointed coach, and the captain, Mary Ann Long, was successful for those who at- tended. It was held during Freshman week and opening of the 1958-59 semester. The girls, armed with their new tunics, practiced during the early morning and late afternoon hours in trying to avoid the heat of the mid-day sun. An able core of girls met an equally able group from Ursinus College on the home field. Ursinus, drawing from a large student body, had a clear edge over the local team. But Eastern's enthusiasm was not to be daunted by such a formidable foe. The second game was played against neighboring Cabrini College. The Eastern girls had learned much as a result of the previous game but again proved not strong enough to win. Next year the team is looking forward to a more successful hockey camp and more vigorous schedule. First Row, left to right: 5. Nelson, K. Smith, M. Long, J. Sixsmith, S. Corbett, L. Stanley, D.
