room Qoll You are therel 264 made history this year with a regular council meeting demonstration before the homeroom to give members the facts about what usually goes on behind closed doors. Parents too had a special look see at re- sults of career and aptitude test results, and were briefed by counselors on future guidance plans in January. , Homeroom members didn't have to peek to find out what was going on around school this year, thanks to a capable art staff who supplied a number of colorful and original board drawings advertising coming school events. A really important event on 264's calendar was the homeroom dinner where members and their parents were entertained by girls' and boys' singing groups, a chorus line and Freddy Burnside's rendition of When l Was Young.

,qnw 1.29 dzifgl f 91 room 244 Our main goal has been improving scholar- ship, stated homeroom director Carlyle Ehri in summarizing the work of 244's homeroom council. In connection with this, a special emphasis was placed on guidance to show students more about college and professions. During the year, graduates of ETHS gave the inside story of college life. Professional men were also asked to speak on their particular fields. 244 had a unique system of homeroom pro- grams, in that it had a weekly talent show every Thursday morning. These programs consisted of talented students of 244 as well as groups from the rest of the school. A special speech was given on each national holiday or event by a student of the room. One of the achievements of this year's coun- cil was to write a constitution and have it rati- fied by the students. Upper: 244 Council.

room 344 Welcome to ETHSl Mid-year trans- fer students in 344 were greeted by a special orientation program which helped them become acquainted with not only the homeroom, but also the school. This spirit typified 344 as its stu- dents went all out for the many char- ity drives and campaigns, and as they emphasized scholarship as the room's highest goal. Students were encour- aged to refer to the extensive collec- tion of college catalogs on file in the homeroom, Participation in homeroom affairs was stimulated by council meetings in front of the room. ln addition, a subcommittee from the students and the council was selected to plan for permanent decorations. On the social side, attendance at the homeroom dinner was at its high- est. Upper Right: The washwoman's wail, Chris Chacona and Fran Kremer.
