:W I ag I . ww, C School started this fall with a swirl of activities for sophomore, junior, and senior Rabs alike. New faces, new classes, and new teachers greeted everybody on the first day. During the early weeks each sophomore experienced a lost feeling while walking down the huge halls. However, it wasn't long before all this was over, and the sophomores felt that they were a part of East High. They began their activities by electing class officers. Posters and banners were made for the candidates and placed on the walls of study hall 201 by members of the class. Among these were Hazel Burch, Shirley Allen, Pat Adams, Pat Hills, and Kent johnson. Clj One day in October everybody's hair was especially neat. Many of the Rabs could be caught in front of a mirror practicing a smile. Yep-it was picture day for the Argus. Here Margie Hubbell and janet Hammerstrand are writing receipts for Lillian Carlson, Gladys Felden and Ed Brockmeier while Mar- lene Bergsten takes a last look at her hair. C29 At the beginning of each semester, class advisers were kept busy changing schedules. Almost every Rab has had a double schedule marked and changed with red ink. Miss Catherine Needham, sophomore class adviser, is shown helping Tom Wailker arrange his classes while Art Olsen, Morris William- son, and Pat Loy wait their turn. C59 C!QLAa5?a, After the senior class oflicers were elected, they began planning activities for the class. A job which the class of '50 officers also had to do was find a way of raising money for the class treasury. Ken Carson Cleftl and George Bennett Crightj, two homeroom presidents, discuss the problem with Denny johnson, vice-president, Roger Beckett, president, Donna Olsen, secre- tary, and Karen Ericson Cseatedb treasurer. C43 Plans were made by the classes for parents' night when our folks visited East high and talked with our teachers. Besides information about us, they also got plenty of food. C55 Speak- ing of food, it took lots of it to keep the E-Rabs happy. How- ever, the cafeteria was not only a good place to eat but also a good place to finish that paper for English or that math problem. C65 Publications staff proved their dramatic C ?J ability in the pub- lications assembly. Hopalong Hamlet and other Shakespearean characters were portrayed by staff members. Here Caesar CVal Krukonisj is being shot by a Roman senator CEarl jonesj as other senators CLewis Albee, jack Beckstrom, Dick Ahlgren and Rog Beckettb watch. C75 The reason for his death? He wouldnt buy an Argus! Of course, fall wouldnt be complete without the football games at the stadium. Neither cold, rain, nor even snow kept the fans away from the games. These gloomy faces can mean only one thing--the Rabs are losing. C89
