WHAT A JOB! With only five periods this year, the students had many scheduling problems to test such patient understanding Counselors. Standing beside the teachers' boxes, Mr. Guy Fox, Mrs. Lucile Ming and Mr. Sheldon Eller took a few minutes to discuss a current problem. ? cultq Thine ed Idea A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE accompan- ied the faculty staff as they worked to- gether in close cooperation to teach the students of E.U.H.S. Schedules were com- plicated as many teachers commuted be- tween City and Valley Campus. Their patience was often tried by care- fully planned excuses and well-meant jokes from the students. Still they strived to make the classroom a pleasant, educa- tional experience so that the students could prepare to carry on the responsi- bilities of the future. PUT AWAY ALL NOTEBOOKS, cheat sheets, gyp slips and aids to grades. Mr. Georges greeted the students and gave the daily vocabulary quiz. Mr. John Georges, Mr. Wallace Gray, and Mr. Albert Weissburg present to the students a full English course. A SOUTHERN BELLE was added to the English Department this year in the person of Mrs. Dorothy Porch who taught English and Dramatics with a pleas- ant accent. Mrs. Margaret Dove, in addition to Sopho- more English, advised the Escohi-lites, Miss Charlotte Breidenstein, teaching Sophomore English, kept busy as advisor to the Sophomore class.

Prog:-a A ffefeewrfvss A GROWING COMMUNITY created many difficulties to be met by our Board of Trustees. After defeat of the school bonds in l955, Board Members were faced with the problem of providing sufficient classrooms with very limited funds. During the summer a new wing was added and plans were made to house the Freshmen at City Campus. Another important decision involved the demolition of the vacant main building at City Campus. Decisions were reached only after care- ful study, and Escondido is grateful to these men for their untiring efforts to reach solutions which would guarantee a smooth running school, THE OFFICE STAFF worked quickly and efficiently to take care of the many assignments made by the administration. At left, Mrs. Bea Duncan worked at City Campus, while Mrs. Elmina Deal helped the different organizations with their financial problems. Mrs. Norma Casto served as attendance clerk, and Mrs. Ruth Pritchett kept the student records.
