Discussion and conversation assume important role in The principle place for discussion in school is the classroom. Sophomores Mike McFadden and Mike Wismer make English class a discussion area. In spite of the consensus that teenage girls talk more than anyone else, their male counterpart does his fair share. Actually, few teens are ever at a loss for something to say whether it is as serious as What is your opinion of Milton ' s philosophy in Paradise Lost? or as trivial as How about those crazy hose. ' EHS teens spend a large parr of their day conversing with oth- ers on matters both important and commonplace. Discussion has an extremely important place in every class- room. An invaluable supply of information is disclosed when the students debate and give their own opinions about contro- versial matters. Giving speeches or reports on subjects that stu- dents enjoy is also beneficial to the teens. Class discussion pro- vides a vast field of information that probably would nor have been explored if it were left up to each individual. Discussion and conversation occupy a large part of the Trojans ' time, but the talk is not wasted. Following basketball games Trojan high-schoolers get together Joyce Rousseau. Lynn Closterman, Jean Kingsbury, and Fred Warner (photo left) have an informal discussion while gluing senior portraits. 18

From showing films to helping teachers grade papers, Running the audio-visual e quipment is a service performed by boys such as Doug Mignerey who are members of the Projectionist Club. Duties of hall monitors like Dave Congdon include checking student passes and accompanying incoming visitors to the office. Many Trojans give up their study time to do volunteer work around the school. Sometimes this is done through an or- ganization such as FTA or the Projectionist Club. Other times students take the initiative and ask for the jobs as in the case . of the people who help serve lunch and those who work in the candy store. These students all have one thing in common: they donate up to five hours of their busy week to helping the rest of the student body and the faculty. If it were not for these serv- ice workers, EHS teachers would have more papers to grade, would have to mimeograph their own tests, and would have to become hall policemen. A group of boys under the ditection of Mr. Gwaltney relieve the teachers of any responsibility for vis- ual aids. In addition, some girls offer further assistance by help- ing the libiarians and the secretaries in the office. One of many FTA service workers who help the teachers, Joyce Rous- seau grades a set of English papers for Mrs. Decker. Operating the mimeograph machine in Mrs. Gobel ' s office, junior Gwen Gutmann helps the teachers by running off stencils for them. 20
