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.

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.

-,N life vvith laiher l know what you're thinking . . . you can't get away! With this re- mark Mrs. Dorothy Waldo Phillips began her analysis of teen-agers be- fore a general assembly. Her speech was part of a PTA-spon- sored program to acquaint pupils with as many widely-known persons as possible, an idea typical of the PTA's policy of school advance- ment. Similar work was done by the Lay Advisory Council, designed to get the parents' point of view on administration problems. More on the informal side, the Dads' Club, consisting of many fa- thers of ETHS students, sponsored films of athletic events and a Foot- ball Banquet. Upper: Business over the tea table.
