.,, After several days of intensive prac- tice, Coach Duncan, Miss Risse Cwho also taught Spanish and Frenchl, Miss Cook and Coach Ahler were set for a fast game of ping-pong. These Phys. Ed. teachers gave students a welcome change from classes in which the sole physical exercise was sharpening pencils. The department offered not only a well-rounded program of seasonal sports, but also arranged for more than a month of swimming classes. This year a valu regular schedule. jArougA jail' mafker The palette and the T-square are the symbols of the parts played by these two teachers in E.U.H.S. Mrs. Surface, in the art room, instructed her promis- ing students in the fine arts and crafts, while just down the hall Mr. Kliewer held his mechanical and architectural drawing classes. The art displays in the main hall and the exhibits during the spring Open House were graphic proof of the development of talents in these classes. Directing the boys who were interested in shop work this year were the shop teachers, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Schmeeckle, and Mr. Bahen. Mr. Shaw instructed metal shop and study hall, Mr. Bahen taught agri- culture and metal shop, and Mr. Schmeeckle helped the would-be carpenters in wood shop.

1 ' f l ly fl. l.g, AX, . t , t . t Above Furthering the cause of science at E,U.H.S. were Mr. Christianson-Biology and Girls' Glee Club, Mr. Bovie- General Science and Chemistry, Mr. Cameron-General Science, Radio and Audio-Visual tdirectorl. Photosynthesis, electricity, and oxygen were studied, along with atomic tracer chemistry and the hydrogen bomb. Above, right ln the Basement and in the Cafeteria, the world, past and present, was being studied and pondered over. Under Mr. Randels-l-listory and Sociology, and Mr. Sherrill- History and Civics and Public Speaking-many problems in social studies were discussed. Maybe all the answers were not found, but certainly many students now have a new insight on America's relation to the rest of the world. Music hath powers to soothe the savage beast -and students too, judging from the number of band and glee club members. Mr. Brown, Band and Boys' Glee Club director, and Mrs. Christianson, Boys' and Girls' Glee Club accompanist, made it a double pleasure to take these classes. Their skill has been instrumental in shaping the outstanding music department. Some more students are on their way to filling positions in the offices of America. Mrs. Couts-Typing and Stenog- raphy, Mr. Quode-Typing, Business, Arithmetic and Sports, and Mr. Hilmer-Bookkeeping, Typing and Business Assist- ant, can be given much of the credit. Through the year they've listened to the clattering of typewriters, and the complaints about shorthand and book- keeping, but now feel their efforts have been well rewarded.

fl .W 'Q Mrs. Hall returned to school this year after taking a leave of absence during which time little Jackie made his appearance in the Hall family. Our school nurse remained calm and cheerful throughout all the aches and pains characteristic of a normal school year. Mrs. Hall also instructed a class in Home Hygiene and First Aid, which in these days is a very important course. It was reassuring to know that such a capable person was always on hand, ready to aid those who needed the attention. i CIJIJ .S?0l'l'l'lg Bad Will one of the janitors please come to the office?
