LLR55 OF PRESENTS THE Alma Mater Sweet be thy memory, High School of ours; Fair be thy destiny, fadeless thy flowers; Hearts that have loved thee have won in life's fight; Names that we honor, thy standard holds bright. Our Alma Mater dear, to thee we sing; May all thy future years new honors bring; May friends thy banners raise, thy foes grow less; All love and praise to our old E. H. 8. This page is blanl<. For the past four years, East has· been the center of our educational and social life. Through the classes and extra-curricular ac­ tivities available to us, we have learned to be responsible and mature citizens. Now that we are about to dissociate ourselves from East High, we see how much our life has been influenced and enriched by the commendable faculty and amiable atmos­ phere of our school. As we turn to leave, we see the last grains of sand sifting· to the bottom of our hour­ glass. These few particles represent the final moments of fifty-six years of joy and anxiety experienced by countless East High alumni. Privileged to be the last class to graduate from this historical educational institution, we, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty­ nine, dedicate this ORIENT to "our old E. H. S." 3 FDRE~DRD-CDNTENT5 It is said that "time waits for no man;" it certainly didn't wait for the class of '59.

By likening the school to a big Grand­ father's clock, we are able to visualize how the administration, faculty and stu­ dents each contribute to its smooth func­ tioning. The principal, as chief administrator, is the sustaining force that regulates the activity of the school, just as a pendulum regulates the movement of a clock. Mr. Clark, in his first year as principal of East High, has shown a facility for recog­ nizing and successfully solving the many problems encountered in the supervision of the present school and the organiza­ tion of the new school. Mr. Myers, Vice Principal of the Main Building and Mr. Waide, teacher-in­ charge of the Annex, are analogous to the hands of our timekeeper. In their administrative jobs, they carry out the policies of the principal. To complete our timepiece, we have the mechanism. This is the part that de­ termines its quality. Our teachers and students personify the intricate workings; They determine the school's scholastic and good reputation in the community. MR. CLARK Principal Administration MR. MYERS MR. WAIDE Vice-Principal Teacher-in-Charge of Annex 5 Guidance MR. ROLLER MR. LAWRENCE MRS. DAVIS The Guidance Department has charge of our future. The counselors help us to plan a program of study that fits in with our special plans for later life. We are fortunate to have Mrs. Davis, Mr. Roller and Mr. Lawrence assisting us in projecting beyond the present. MISS BASSEIT Advisors MR. DiCLEMENTI While the Guidance Department takes care of our future, the Girls' Advisor, Miss Bassett, and the Boys' Advisor, Mr. Di Clementi, are in charge of our present. If we are having some difficulty at school, these are the people to whom we talk. 6 Back Row: E. Rytkonen, B. Kalmn, R. Torrens, C. B. Daly, R. Morse, k. Beisman, R. Corcoran. Front Row: J.

To see that a class makes best use of Time with a minimum of waste, two members of the faculty are appointed as advisors for the class. Our Advisors, Miss Curran and Mr. Welch have taken a genuine interest in our activities and have guided us wisely in all of our undertakings. We sincerely thank Miss Curran and Mr. Welch for the past three years of friendship that we as a class and as individuals have shared with them. 13 Vice President, Warren Harman; Advisors, Miss Curran and Mr. Welch; Social Chairman, Elaine Purcio; Treasurer, Jeanette Bult; Senior Class Officers President, Tony Fantuzzo; Secretary, Johanna Padelt.

Ambitions and ideas were initiated through the organized planning of the Senior Council. Under the direction of President Anthony Fantuzzo and the advisors, Miss Curran and Mr. Welch, the class en­ joyed the many social functions that were provided. Standard Bearers Scholastic achievement is rewarded by the selection of two Seniors who rank the highest in the class. Marianne Utz and Peter Clark were appointed daughter-of-the-flag and standard bear­ er, respectively, for their outstanding grades.
