crease the schools capacity by 1,5OO.
This petition was presented by A. H

Park Citizens Association, who pointed
out that Eastern, opened in 1928 with
accommodations for /, 100 students, now
is carving on its rolls $500, forcing
the institution on a double shift" or
staggered plan" Of operation. Mr..
Gregory told the board further that

ten1ber Eastern will have an enrolment
In excess Of 5000.
Satisfactory In Emergency.
The double-shift plan, Mr.. Gregory
declared, means that 1000 students at
tend classes from 8 am. to 2:40 pm,
while 800 attend classes from 11:15
am. to pm.
"This pian," he said, sis satisfactory
as an emergency measure, but as an
emergency measure only. The people
of East washington are entitled to the
same school facilities accorded the
pupils Of any other section. At the
present time the Eastern High School
Is the only local high school that has to
operate on such an emergency system" !"

ouate ground for the building lies ad-
Joining the present structure, and that

Miss Wigman's first appearance in

with interest, because of her own
belief that the future of the group
dance lies in group expression.
Solo dancers for the most part

Wigman, because the modern dance
realizes its highest effectiveness
through group action. The task of
the solo dancer to project her ideas
and to emotionally affect her au-
dience is almost inSuperable.
