TO THE STUDENTS OF EASTMONT Another wonderful and successful year is almost com- pleted. Soon our thoughts will turn from studies to va- cations, and we will drift to the four winds. The students of Eastmont can be proud of the many outstanding accom- plishments attained in such a short period of time, in that our first graduating class was in 1958. A quick look at a few of your achievements: in 1958 one of your students was awarded a four year scholarship by West Coast Airlines fthis scholarship was equivalent to the National Merit Schol- arshipjg in 1960-61 you won more first and second place awards in the Spokane Inland Empire Science Fair than any school in the Pacific Northwest has ever Wong in 1962, you were proclaimed state champions in football, a.nd through your FFA you won the State Championship Speaker's Con- test sponsored by the Washington State Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. A 1963 graduate won one of the highest scholarships in the country, the National Merit Scholarship. These are but a few of the things you can be proud of and cherish as the years go by. How did all these accomplishments happen in such a short time? First of all, I believe, it is because of you, the in- dividual student of Eastmontg second, because of your par- ents and the high ideals they have established for youg and last but certainly not least, because of your dedicated and down-to-earth staff whose main interest is your success and happiness while attending Eastmont High. With these three teams working together, we have harmony, cooper- ation, and outstanding success. In the four years I have had the pleasure of being admin- istrative head of our senior high school, I have never work- ed with a finer student body. In an atmosphere of cooper- ation, cheerfulness, good school spirit, and sportsman- ship, your ideals have been held high and we have a student body of which we can all be proud. Our problems at East- mont are few and far between and are so greatly over- shadowed by your outstanding deeds that it makes each year more pleasant than the last. To those who are graduating this year and those who have graduated before you, may I wish each of you happiness and success. This is your second home and we hope you will find time to come back often. You, the underclassmen, must carry on the traditions of classes before you and in every way attempt to do a better job. My most hearty congratulations to each of you. Thanks for the opportunity of being a part of Eastmont these past few years. Sincerely, Lynn W. Easton, Principal PEAKS MR.

MR. ROBERT DINTELMAN Superintendent of Schools MR. JAY CHILDERS Assistant Superintendent mi Since its beginning, the Eastmont High School has grad- uated six senior classes, a total of 665 people. About 145 seniors will be graduated this year. Hence, our high school is still a relatively new school, compared with others in this part of the state. How successful has our high school been in its short his- tory? Has it measured up to the hopes and aspirations of the people who voted to establish it? How can the success of a high school be measured? If success means that a large number of our graduates succeed in college, we have some evidence of such success. If success means that many of our students win valuable scholarships, we can point with pride to many of these. If it means winning awards in competition with other schools in debate, public speaking, music, athletics, and other school activities, we have won quite a few awards. If a successful high school is one which keeps its students in school, we can quote figures to show that our attendance is among the highest and our number of drop-outs among the lowest in the country. If success means being recognized by other school authorities, we can point out that the East- mont High School is accredited by the State of Washington and by the Northwest Association of Secondary Schools. Yes, we have some evidence of the success of the East- mont High School. It is proper that We should be proud of these accomplishments. Yet, it seems to me, there are many other criteria for measuring the success of an edu- cational institution. There are many questions we might raise at this time for which we do not now have the an- swers. How good is the citizenship of our high school graduates? How intelligent is their voting? How interested are they in the affairs of the world and the future of our nation? How skillful are they in applying the knowledge acquired in school to the work they perform to earn a living? What kind of philosophy of life have they developed? What kind of par- ents will they be? What kind of attitudes will they inculcate in their children? What will their ultimate goals be? Until we know the answers to these questions, we will have only inadequate knowledge as to how successful our educational experience is. Robert Dintehnan, Superintendent THE ADMINISTRATIO
