Already getting down to work on sophomore class prob- lems are Henry Brown, president, and Nancy Manne, sec- retary. Looking over their shoulders, are Duane Aase, vice- president, and Kathleen Maurici, treasurer. On the black- board behind the officers is an outline of some of their new responsibilities. Standing in front of a campaign poster in junior study hall, the newly-elected officers Bruce Lantow, treasurer, Kent johnson, presidentg Helen Moody, secretar ' and Chris Wold vice- resident look at Y, , P , last year's scrapbook of sophomore activities. Donny R, Anderson is trying to influence a group of seniors to support his candidate for vice-president with a clever bit of electioneering. The walls of sophomore study hall were literally covered with cam- paign posters as election time neared. Here Diane Nelson, Shirley Sea, and Sue Sjostrom take time out from putting up their poster to show it to the camera. fy s in ELECT F0 Qmciu ,I ,- R Tyra THE BEST MAN KN TOHN IS HENRY fa,?R0UN ETS FILL E

wr' aff- H Tom Hopp skillfully demonstrates, 'lHow to Change a Tire, in Speech class taught by Miss Adeline Hoegberg, dramatics in- structor. Speech is designed to develop better speaking habits, self-confidence, and clarity when talking to a group, and we would certainly give Tom an A if he can clearly explain to most girls the fundamentals of this operation. Life at school functions around certain forms and blanks that are familiar to everyone. There's the bright gold late admit, white and school-skipper's shame yellow absence or tardy slip, green room-to-room forms and more. Other colors and sizes are found in the dull yellow cardboard report, and book cards, while programs card day finds us filling out four of these white beauties. Another blue form is the coveted library admit, while most re- ceipts for dues and subscription payments are white. Last but not least since it is usually the first thing we hear in Home Room each morning is the white, mimeographed HR notice that varies each morning from several lines to a full page and contains all club, class, and special announcements for the day. L5 ef J . Learning by doing, is an East High motto as these pictures prove. Top, Dorothy johnson, jun- ior, interviews Harley Butters, announcer and disc jockey at WROK, to prepare her Newswriting personal interview assignment. Newswriting is an interesting course offered to students with above average English grades who want to learn about journalism. This subject, taught by Miss Marie Johnson, publication adviser, meets three times during the day and from its students are chosen the coming year's Highlights and Argus staffs. The juniors in Newswriting do most of the routine writing for the paper and are assigned regular sources of news, called beats to write on. ,j:j:'faf', T-,wif 'jg nfwfrnsami af rg,- - aff' I . any AJ I J 4 X3 A ,.--17 L.. , 0' , 1 .

Hitudmta 8Zaat 3a4a,aZ-Ze Oggwaw Agia Avid Gampaigna Besides school elections November, 1950, was a national election year, and 667 senators and representatives were elected to Congress. Shirley DeM0ss is shown voting on a mock ballot in Government class, a required senior course in which we learn qualities of a good voter, how the president is nominated and elected, and how our national and state governments operate. The photographer must have said, Smile Please, to John Hoaglund, left, president, Jim Samorian, vice-presi- dent, Lillian Nielsen, left, secretary, and Darlene Gran- berg, treasurer, as they posed for a picture in the model apartment. Hoagie's diligent swimming practice, which helped him place first in the state backstroke again this year, and the lead in the operetta, have kept john very busy along with his duties as class president. Sumo also a swimmer, placed fourth in the state breaststroke, and is Dolphin Club secretary. Lil, noted for her good humor, served as secretary of GAA as well as secretary of the class. Dolly too was kept busy, for besides collecting class dues, she served as girls' vice-president of Student Council.
