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.

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.

E' Q H ro o m 3 6 4 lf an idea seems good, we're will- ing to try it, said homeroom direc- tor Rasmussen in explaining the rea- son for 364's being the homeroom with so many firsts. lts members, first to write and ratify a homeroom constitution, were also first, and only, to have the president supervise the morning assembly instead of the homeroom director. Another interesting point in the 364 program was its counseling system. Calling in professional people and college representatives at various times to speak during homeroom pe- riods helped students to start think- ing about college and careers. Eighteen guidance films, shown during the year in counseling groups, and a vocational file for the use of the room, set up by students with the help of Miss Larson, aided students' plans for the future.
