CAREER DAY FIELD DAY Two special events that were held during the year were Career Day and Field Day. April 22 was designated as Ca- reer Day at Eastside High School. A coffee hour was held before school started to give the teach- ers ana their guests an opportuni- ty to meet and become better ac- quainted. Each teacher had invited a guest speaker to talk to each of their classes. A full day of classes was shortened so that each class could meet about 20 minutes and be finished at noon. After which, a luncheon was held for the teachers and their guests. Students at Eastside learn about law enforcement from one of the guest speakers during Career Day. Teams line up for the start of the four- legged race. 18 Career Day The speakers discussed their jobs and careers that would be related to their area. The students felt the day was very worthwhile and would like to continue the same type of program next year. The annual tradition of field day was held May 7. It was drizzling rain during the morning and ev- eryone was filled with anticipation that it would stop, but the dreaded announcement finally came, Field day will be held in the gym- nasium this afternoon.” The an- ticipation of being able to spend the afternoon outside was dam- pened temporarily, but was soon overcome as the excitement of the various events started. Field day was sponsored by the student council and these members orga- nized events such as relay races of bat twirling, life saver passing, four legged race, leap frog race, suck- ing jello through a straw, rubic’s cube contest, ping pong contests, and last of all the annual tug-of- war. The junior class gained the most points and were victorious at the end of the day. Once again, field day was termed a success and a fun-filled afternoon broke the daily routine of classes.
