Dr 3k i= - i Classes spilling over into the Methodist Church next door, students studying most anywhere (in cars, in corners, at the Public Library) , and an influx of 750 sophs making our halls more crowded than ever . . . that was EHS in the fall of ' 58. However. Superintendent Rice has given us new hope. When the new West Side Junior High School is completed, we can expand into all of the Central Junior High School Building. Meanwhile study halls were made into classrooms, schedules were adjusted to the new conditions, and classrooms were added wherever possible. Or in ;i looker. A horiowcd classroom: the ME Church ' s nursey. Studying most anywhere: on the library steps . . .

These crowded conditions caused us to have staggered programs; that is, some of us came to school at 8: 15 and others came later. For some, classes ended at noon; for others, at 3:40. However, this new program offered a challenge to juniors and seniors. Now we were really on our own; we had to make our own study schedules and try to fit them into our activities or jobs or our family and church life. For the first time we knew the real meaning of homework. Learning under these conditions was new to us, but encouraged and inspired by good teachers, we tried to keep up our high standards of scholarship. The Public Librarv was always full of kids with a free hour. There ' s hardly enough room to move in the crowded EHS halls. -
