East High 1968 Yearbook

NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT

EPIC

LINCOLN EAST HIGH SCHOOL

Neither building nor school come prefabricated; both are painstakingly constructed. A structure progresses from architect's dream to finished product- habitable, functional steel and stone. The process is slow. Foundations precede realization support poles wait, unemployed, .months before completion. A school, too, is a progression - of faculty and students, spirit and activity- a spiraling, animate structure, continually regenerating, never entirely finished, ever growing; all within the framework of a building. Improvements will come. What is required now? Firm foundations, flexible walls and infinite patience.

Strong foundations are not easily built. Long after the final girder has been welded, after the last brick has been cemented into place, there remain questions not covered in the construction plans. How is the individual to retain his identity among a mass of 0 students 0 ? Such a question goes beyond the vision of the architect - answers are not built in, like tiles and lockers. The individual is awed by the complexity of corridors.

• Some identification is found in · studies, but still rampant is the frustration of anonymity. Being lost takes on more than a physical sense. Activity assumes vital importance ...

Activity - the 0 group 0 - inspires participation. The spirit generated by students and faculty alters school character. Students, learning to balance homework and parties, come to understand themselves and others - a lesson demanding alternately fervor and patience. School is more than an education, more than an experience - these are available elsewhere; it is above all a gathering and growing place for human relations ·with each individual a cornerstone.

Ad ..ministrators Work for Individualized Education

"We try to develop a school which places emphasis on the ability of the student to take charge of part of his education," emphasized Dr. Jean Mcqrew , East High's first principal.

Establishing such educational goals was among the long list of considerations for this initial administration. For nearly every adminis•trative move, Princip 91 i McGrew was required not only to decide and act, but to establish precedents and policies.

f Pre-school preparations began for Dr. McGrew a year before the September 5 opening of East. In his first year on the job Dr McGrew developed a curriculum, helped with the selection of equipment and teaching staff and acquainted Lincoln students with East High.

Dr. Norbert Schuerman, East High's viceprincipal, observed that "administration is different only as the people are different."

Dr. Schuerman assumed his duties in June, previous to the opening of the school. His major

duties included supervising student conduct, administering the summer school program and assisting with the student teaching program.

Also prominent in administrative affairs were Mr. Gary Lake, assistant principal in charge of instruction , and Mr. James Rakers, assistant principal in charge of student services.

Mr. Lake was in charge of taking inventory of educational supplies and involved in teacher education and scheduling classes . He was also active in developing new techniques in instruction. The greatest problem faced was obtaining materials.

"Making people aware of the procedures we want them to follow" was a goal for Mr Rakers, the director of guidance. During the year he organized elections for class officers and student council elections and talked to students about scholarships from standardized tests. He also helped solve discipline problems.

Counselors Start Year

Filin ·g Student Records

The unique situation at East which most ,guidance counselors never face was the di verse scholastic background of the more than 1 , 400 students. Counselors were presented with the gigantic problem of checking into all senior and junior records to see what requirements were met and which needed to be filled for graduation Because a few seniors graduated in January, this had to be promptly and efficiently accomplished in order to send grade transcripts to universities.

Counselors utilized study centers all year long for such purposes as explaining graduation requirements and registering students for classes. Group counseling and individual counseling also occupied convenient study center periods.

It was also the responsibility of the counselors to administer the Regents tests to seniors and the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test to juniors. They registered interested students for the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Through their counselors students arranged interviews with representatives from various unit versities They could learn through them not only about the curriculum but also about campus life. The guidance staff also started building a pam phlet library about career opportunities.

Drama, Journalism Offer Students Creative Outlet

Reading plays in class , working with make-up and learning the basics of stage production were among the activities of this year's drama classes. Plays were presented by the classes for their members By giving various types of speeches in class, students in speech learned, through practice and experience , the elements of communication at the personal level. The technical aspects of the plays produced were handled by the stagecraft class.

Also produced by East High students were a first newspaper, the Oracle, and a first annual , the Epic. In addition to newspaper and annual classes, a beginning journalism class was open to ninth graders the first semester and to grades nine through twelve the second Included in this course were an introduction to mass media, a history of journalism, advertising principles , story writing and yearbook production. The final exam for this class was putting out part of an issue of the paper.

Project English Stresses . Literature, Writing Styles

With the initiation of Project English at all levels, East High became the first Lincoln high school to completely drop the traditional grammatical approach to learning English. Based on selected literary works, Project English aims to connect literature and writing in a thematic and generic approach. In the rhetoric units, sentence and paragraph structures were studied to improve the students' own writing. The program is structured sequentially, beginning in kindergarten and continuing through twelfth grade .

Some English classes, while studying the tragedy "Julius Caesar," produced readings from the play complete with properties and costumes. Professional recordings of "Julius Caesar" were also available for student use during study centers. Other classes made collages while studying the Christiam epic. Papers, panel discussions and individual reports were also a part of the English program. The early New England authors and poets constituted one of the units, while other units covered the works of the twentiith century.

Junior high English provided an introduction to various types of literature, particularly the novel. Senior high students studied in detail English and American authors and their works.

American, World History Diversify Subject Areas

The beginnings of civilization in the TigrisEuphrates river valley and the current military involvement in Vietnam were among the topics for discussion in world and American history classes in junior and senior high. First semester world history traces the development of Western civilization up to the Renaissance. The junior high world history program included, an investigation of the roots of both Eastern and Western civilizations.

The reasons for the exploration and settlement of the new world were probed in the American history classes, as students were introduced to the how's and why's of American history.

Studying at the history resource table in the library, Todd Jones and Kathy Wallantine appeal to student teacher Miss Linda Suntken for help.

Mrs. Nancy Fortney, world studies instructor, discusses current events with students Current world and local events, research papers, time lines, book reports and films combine to make an integrated world studi~s program.

Social Studies Department Adds Specialized Courses

Realizing the desire of students to take history courses other than the required world and American history~ the Social Studies Department offered additional courses such as Greco-Roman history, economics, philosophy and computer science. These courses concentrated on a rather small area of study since they were limited to one semester. All were open to seniors only. Economics was required for graduation; the others were electives.

The growth of the Hellenic culture, its absorption by the Roman empire, the innovations introduced by the Romans themselves and the effects on our present society were covered in GrecoRoman history.

Philosophy, regularly a two semester course, was condensed into one semester for the last half of the school year. It was primarily an introduction to and study of the basic ideas of philosophy. Computer science was a study of the uses and importan e of computers in today's world.

Enthusiasm, Achievement Keywords in Fine Arts

Diligenc.e and enthusiasm marked the concerts and rallies produced by students in the Music Department , under the direction of Mr. Jon Peterson, Mr. Richard Kucera and Mr . Duane Johnson "The enthusiasm of the groups sparked spirit throughout the school," Mr. Kucera, high school instrumental instructor, remarked. The marching band produced football half-time shows as well as taking part in several parades The East High Swing Choir, advanced choir and boys ' and girls' glee clubs sang both for the school during the year and for outside audiences.

Involved less publicly in the fine arts, but no less enthusiastically , was the Art Department proper, where individuals developed separate and unique approaches to the traditional areas of painting , drawing and sculpture . The art and music departments joined forces to design interesting program covers for the instrumental and vocal music concerts.

"Is it really any good?" asks Jeri Hall of art instructor Mrs. Mary McPherson, as she presents her masterpiece to the art bulletin board.

Math Lays Background For Prospective Careers

As the technological revolution continued in America, the Math ·Department found itself with the task of giving a solid math background for the country's future engineers , architects , physici~ts and common citizens .

In algebra class students graphed linear equations , while geometry students soon became familiar w i th such terms as triangle, trapezoid, compass and protractor. Geometry students worked with coordinate gridboards, extensible quadrilaterals and triangles, and circle and line relationships. This was done in a laboratory situation to study the structure of the "discovery approach." Fewer but more determined were those students in the solitary trigonometry class, the highest math course offered by the school, first semester. Analytical geometry was offered second semester for students who had passed trigonometry to complete the higher math program .

In order to provide extra help for students, the department offered the services of tutors from the University of Nebraska during study centers.

This year the school participated in the National Mathematics Contest sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America. This was an 80 minute test in which the highest scorer from each high school received a medallion. Another highlight of the math program was the Mathematical Field Day, held at Wahoo Neumann, which was open to sophomore, junior and senior teams.

Mr. Jerry Trimble, health education instructor, carefully scrutinizes each book for extra drawings and phrases added by prankish students.

Experiments in Sciences Lead to New Discoveries

Through independent thinking and discovery, science teachers prodded students to think for themselves. The lab equipment available provided an opportunity for all classes to discover through experimentation.

Health classes emphasized the systems of the human body, its functions and processes. Students learned that body cleanliness, physical checkups, plenty of sleep, well-balanced meals , outdoor recreation and living habits are all important in protecting their health. Also included in this course of study were units on the hazards of drinking and smoking and techniques in first aid.

Chemistry students were introduced to the characteristic phases of matter and chemical reactions, while introductory physical science classes learned the physical aspects and characteristic properties of different types of matter.

Students of physics classes concentrated mainly on four important areas. These areas were motion, light, electricity and atomic structure.

Mr. Robert Fisher, physical science, chemistry and physics instructor, explains the complexities of an experiment to students Kathy Parker and

Connie Johnson, who are having trouble trying to comprehend the equipment and the chemical processes which have just been demonstrated.

Foreign Languages Add Visions of Other Lands

Students of German , Spanish and French this year could imagine skiing in the Black Forest , shouting "ole'~•in the bull arena , or purchasing a Saint Laurent's coatdress in a Paris fashion house

The study of foreign customs and government with the use of maps, magazines , slides and films added variety to long hours of essential grammar instruction. Time was also set aside for games, singing, production of plays and publication of newspapers .

The foreign language program was supplemented by new laboratory equipment able to play three different language tapes simultaneously. For students who desired extra help, teachers were available in student study centers, and the lab remained open throughout the day.

Dialogs, speech patterns and -structure drills helped students learn_ to express themselves in the native manner . All the language instructors agreed that the laboratory, as well as tapes and records for home use, was a great aid to those developing pronunciation habits.

Second year Spanish classes , instructed by Mrs Anita Lemons, go through daily recitation exercises. Recitation is made easier for the students in

Future Homemakers Gain Knowledge, . Find Values

Home economics, a comprehensive course, included such areas of study as foods, clothing, child care and housing and grooming.

Mrs. Marilyn Gade, in charge of ninth grade home economics, instructed her classes in foods, housing ·and consumer education.

In cooking classes, an emphasis was placed on nutrition, management of the home and food preparation and planning. During the week of school preceding Christmas vacation a holiday meal was served as a special project.

Family living classes helped the girls prepare for marriage. They discussed topics such as dating, the physical aspects of marriage, child care and family life.

Students in home planning and design classes, under the supervision of Miss Rose Marie Tondl, developed their own values with class discussions on the economic level they expect to reach in the future years. Also they discussed how to become good consumers and discovered that a girl's personality can be expressed through her home design. Another project of home planning classes was designing their future homes. Field trips to a leading furniture store, a condominium and a home added extra interest to the course.

Mrs. Marilyn Gade, home economics instructor, takes advantage of the demonstration mirror in the home ec. room while showing food preparation

to one of her classes. In addition to teaching foods and nutrition, Mrs. Gade teaches general home economics and a course in family living.

Miss Rose Marie Tondl explains to sophomore Debbie Dohman the many steps involved in threading the machine, setting the stitch and sewing seams.

Industrial Arts Classes Develop Individual Skills

A chance to experiment with tools and various types of equipment was given to the boys in the industrial arts classes this year, Students of woodworking cla~~es began first with basic carpenters' hand tools, those usually found in the home, and soon progressed to more complex machines, 4The boys discovered basic :nethoas of coiistruction through working on projects chosen according to their ability and the amount of space and equipment available.

Mechanical drafting classes learned basic drafting techniques and the proper use and care of drawing tools. Among the tools used were T-squares, parallel rules, drafting machines, white printers and electric erasers. The students also learned methods of making different types of drawings.

Eiectronics class, a two-hour course, was open only to junior and senior boys. In a labyrinth of dials, switches, wires and other similar equipment, they could adjust, repair or build television sets, radios, house wiring kits and public address systems. The boys also discovered how to fit modules, or units, together, and learned the components of individual circuits.

the proper use -of tools to his high school classes and emphasizes the point that a craftsman must be well acquainted with his equipment.

Driving Classes Discover Safe Driving Techniques

With both simulators and under actual driving conditions, students gained first-hand driving experience in driver's education classes. Student study centers were utilized for the actual driving, while before school classes spent time studying safe driving techniques.

Driver's education offered important information to future drivers, instructing them beyond the rudiments of proper motor vehicle operation. Car insurance , accident reports and their importance, buying a car and car maintenance were all covered in the one semester course. The classes also learned how to change tires, what is required of them in various driving situations and what will be expected of them when they apply for their driver's license.

could be totaled easily after each "test" drive. Students were able to check the counter after each class to see how many mistakes they made.

Business Students Learn Basic Office Techniques

Stenographic_ or clerical training were the alternatives that the business education students had to choose from. The stenography course included shorthand, office practice, bookkeeping and typing. Clerical students were instructed in the areas of typing, bookkeeping, clerical training and salesmanship. Each class was unique and developed the students' skills for later use in the business world.

Advanced shorthand and typing classes were small this year due to the small number of juniors and seniors interested in the two classes. Even so, the classes were productive and soon increased speed and mastered skills. The business education department anticipates a much larger participa- tion in these two areas as the enrollment at East expands.

With modern equipment and new techniques, the teachers helped the students to learn the basic essentials of the business world. Students of clerical training and office practice classes were combined during the first semester because of parallel subject matter. These students learned such things as addressing envelopes , correct telephone usage, typing and spacing letters correctly, transcribing from dictating machines and about the different phases of the mail system.

Another first for the Lincoln public school system was the use of electric typewriters for both beginning and advanced typing classes. With 93 electric typewriters and 24 available dictating units students learned modern business methods.

Going over plans for typing class, Mrs. Luella Van Vleck, department head, gives useful suggestions to her student teacher, Mrs. Susan Ebel Lee.

Typing courses are offered for students with different achievement levels. The use of electric typewriters was a new experience for many.

Coordination Developed Through P.E. Programs

Both junior and senior high boys and girls were involved in the physical education program. In addition to developing muscles through exercises, the program developed coordination and physical skills Sports like basketball, volleyball and tennis and individual areas such as gymnastics and wrestling provided exercise and recreation for the student .

• Senio.r high students participated in the Red Cross swimming program. Every student was required to show proof tha he h jt,,d passecl~ level of intermediate swimming• ability; those who were unable to do so were required to take a semester of swimming The beginning swimming classes learned basic water skills and safety, while the advanced classes reviewed swimming strokes and were certified in junior and senior lifesaving.

In addition to physical education classes, the Athletic Department sponsored many extracurricular activities including intramurals, extramural sports and athletic clubs.

The school has ample facilities for physical education classes with boys ' and girls' gyms, a swimming pool, a track, a baseball diamond, tennis courts and several playing fields around the school. New equipment, such as parallel bars, a trampoline, weights and exer-genies aided the teachers in helping the physical education student understand the correct techniques of physical fitness.

1968 Class Merges From Five Other Schools

Leaving their old high schools behind, the 131 seniors worked to integrate their various traditions and form distinctly new clubs and organizations. Class officers were voted into their positions along with four Student Council members representing the seniors.

New teaching techniques and high scholastic levels made the class of '68 eager for the higher education experience. Six seniors graduated midterm to pursue their college and vocational opportunities. Other students worked half-days and attended school the other half to complete required subjects such as economics.

Senior meetings during study centers, which replaced guidance classes and home rooms, were used for registering and informing students about colleges.

The senior year is regarded by underclassmen as full of excitement and prestige. Because of the small size of the class, seniors found it necessary to distinguish themselves to prove they were able to lead the other five grades. Graduation did not bring about the end of responsibilities but rather the beginning of many more.

Mounting the stairs to class leadership are senior officers Tom Shalberg, president; Mike Ragatz, vice president; and Lynn Jackman, secretary.

Al ~ontana and Ann Kirk, in the final stages of high school life, gaze down the Spartan hans where moments experienced are memories made.

Crossing the annual hurdles of National Merit and Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude tests,juniors began preparing for college. Team teaching , introduced for the first time , involvedjuniors in American history. County Government Day provided an opportunity for juniors to learn about the importance of government and its functions. The responsibility of organizing the first Junior -Senior Prom was one of the final challenges undertaken by the Class of '69 . Making new friends and participating in many activities, the junior class showed a true Spartan spirit Caught in the middle of high school life, they displayed the qualities necessary for next year' s leaders .

L___ Lynn McKee, junior class president, seems to be "on top of things." Vice President Laurie Smith and Secretary Jackie Burns stand ready to assist.

with other sessions being reserved for individual study. With college in the near future, juniors found this an important practice for study habits.

Class of 1970 Excels In

Size, Sports, Spirit

Overcoming the combination of new-school pandemonium and typical sophomore bewilderment, the class of 1970 emerged as an active portion of the student body. Significant contributions in fields such as music, athletics and school "politics" enabled the class to supplement the efforts of upperclassmen.

Far outnumbering all other classes, the 469 tenth graders provided enthusiastic and noisy support of the Spartan teams through pep club and attendance at games.

Elective classes were a source of both freedom and frustration as sophomores faced the awesome questions of "What career shall I choose?" and "What type of life do I want to lead?"

With its increased responsibilities, senior high also brought new opportunities. Pep rallies, Keentime, and classes such as swimming, which were being offered to them for the first time, became a part of everyday sophomore life. Added to the strain of sophomore existence for many, was the all-important task of obtaining a driver's license.

After careful thought the sophomores elected officers Barry Blue president, Mary Copple vice president and Janet Bourke secretary-treasurer.

Hoping for a high grade average and favorable comments from his teachers, Darrel Kelley glances over his first set of high school report cards.

Beginning Student Council Finds No Old Business

Prospective politicians announcing their intentions and imaginative campaign slogans initiated Student Council elections this year. Candidates were screened in a primary election and, of the ten remaining contenders from each grade, two girls and two boys were finally elected.

In an effort to widen the Council's scope of representation, the membership was expanded by the addition of class presidents, two ninth grade delegates and a representative from each club with 25 or more members.

Following the Council's initial organizational meetings, it devoted itself to drafting a constitution and chartering newly formed clubs

Acting as a liaison among the elements of the school's personnel, the Council entertained questions, problems and complaints concerning school life. The Council met regularly before school in the cafeteria and boasted its own office next to the counselors' offices.

Probing questions and constructive debates, coupled with the guidance of Mr. James Rakers, lead council members to concoct a unique money-

Epic Staff Creates Style For 'Future Journalists

The first Epic staff found itself with more than the usual amount of work when the ' 67- ' 68 school year began. They quickly realized they had to be more than just an annual staff. They had to be groundbreakers With no traditions to follow , they had a free hand in creating what would become the traditional Epic style.

They also had to be inventors. Originality was needed ·not only in the actual production of the book , but in the promotion and sales campaign ; hard work helped them come within a few books of reaching their goal of selling a thousand

Aside from sales considerations , the novice staff members were faced with selecting a name for the book, finding a suitable theme and setting up and filling the necessary staff positions Work became the rule as staff members wrote copy , planned pictures and drew page layouts in order to meet the deadlines.

Oracle Staff Represents Voice of Student Body

"East High really needs a paper This paper should inform, influence, entertain and improve relations between the administration and faculty and the stuq_ent body." With these words of Mrs. Jennifer Johnson; staff sponsor, the first Oracle staff set out to produce a paper.

Since few of the staff members had previous experience, one of the first tasks undertaken was that of learning the principles of newspaper publishing. Mrs. Johnson explained, "We worked on the principles until we were ready to put out a good paper."

But this wasn't the only problem confronting the beginning journalists. It was necessary to choose a name for the new creation. The Oracle was chosen by popular vote in a staff election. The unusually large staff of 29 could then begin setting a pattern for succeeding journalists.

After long weeks of work, during which other schools' papers were utilized as examples of both good and bad work, the first Oracle made its appearance on January 5, and appeared biweekly after that.

Business Club gains profitable knowledge at its opening meeting , as Secretary of State Frank Marsh speaks on the aspects of his job.

Future Spartan Tycoons Organize Business Club

Future Spartan tycoons satisfied their inquiries about the economic world through the Business Club. A ten-member advisory board organized the club and arranged pre-election programs. A constitution was composed to enumerate the purposes and duties of the club

President Ann Stapleton explained, " We wan t to make Business Club the most enthusiastic organization at East. Lincoln has many business educational resources and we'll employ them all. "

Mr. Frank Marsh, Nebraska Secretary of State , spoke to members on the commercial potential of the abandoned air base and afterward undertook to answer informal, but highly meaningful questions at the refreshment table.

A tour of the State Farm Insurance building gave members insight into the management of a business firm .

Encouragement and support of East's athletes was the aim of pep club members, as they made their presence felt at the school's sports events.

Pep Group Inaugur ates

Uniforms, Cheers, Spirit

Cheering the teams to victory, selling booster buttons, choosing uniforms and forming committees were all .a part ot_the PeP, Club's job thi s year. Organized in August, the large group consisting of 349 girls, got the Pep Club under way even before school started. Several meetings were held in August when officers were elected. Leading the group were Becky West, president; Helen Richmond, vice-president; Linda Humbles, secretary; Susan Koch, treasurer; and Linda Stoki, sergeantat-arms.

With the help of the sponsor, Miss Carol French, squad leaders were elected and committee s formed. Squads were assigned to the variou s sports, such as swimming, wrestling and track, to show the boys that the Pep Club really had Spartan spirit. The girls also showed their enthusiasm by making locker signs, helping with pep rallies, buying booster buttons and attending games.

The style of uniform to be worn was decided at one of the early meetings. Blue skirts and sweaters with a white E on the front were chosen.

Work Brings Rewards I To Spirited Cheerleaders

Being a cheerleader was not all glory, at least not for the school's first cheerleaders. As varsity basketball cheerleaders Nancy Duling, Kendy Jones, Kim Jelsma, Debbie Kenney, Jackie Ketelhut, Kris Maser, Joanie Wickless and football cheerleaders Debbie Schmid, Lori DeWitz, Connie Cave , D eb Haas, Linda Hassler, Deb Hines and Jeanette Stewart found out, hard work accompanied the cheering at games.

Chosen the preceding spring by the faculty, \ the girls worked hard on new cheers and practised routines. During the summer months they attended a cheerleading clinic held for Nebraska high school cheerleaders. This clinic showed them new cheers and ways to improve old ones

Helping the varsity cheerleaders to spark spirit were reserve basketball cheerleaders Niesje Steinkruger, Barbara Davis, Jackie Burns, Carol Sward, Janet Lampshire and football reserves Betty Jo Frey, Georgia Lincoln, Karen Cade and Debbie Garwood.

First Homecoming Event Features Game, Royalty

A brisk swing of the "spirit stick" launched East's first Homecoming weekend at a pep rally early in November. Cornhusker Coach Bob Devaney addressed the student body on sportsmanship and the first boys to earn the letter "E" were announced.

Topping the first athletic season at East was the Homecoming game Friday night against Lincoln Pius X. Saturday night saw the Spartans dancing to the beat of the "Nobody's Children" combo at the Homecoming dance in the cafeteria. Blue and white streamers and snowflake decals captured the festive mood of the "Spartan Holiday." A crowning ceremony mid-evening announced football co-captain Jim May and varsity cheerleader Joanie Wickless Homecoming Royalty for 1967.

"Homecoming meant a lot of work for a lot of people," reflected central committee chairman Rita Jacobs, "but it proved worthwhile since everyone seemed to have a great time."

From their newly won throne, Homecoming King Jim May and Queen Joanie Wickless survey the dance scene and reflect upon their recent coronation.

On the eve of the Homecoming coronation, Spartan bandsmen, in Eformation, salute royalty candidates, as they promenade on the field during the half-time festivities at the East-Pius X football game. Candidates were elected by seniors.

Attendants Becky West, Doug Burns, Jackie Ketelhut and Mark Hayman skim across the dance floor chatting about· the first Homecoming

International Club AFS Build World Friendships

The East High International Club constitution stated the purpose of the club to be, "to promote friendship and interest in the peoples and cultures of other countries." This became the criteria for all of the club's projects.

The first of these was selling at the East-Pi us X football game in order to establish a treasury. In December the club initiated a number of projects in addition to their biweekly meetings. A St. Lucia Day breakfast was held to honor East's AFS student from Sweden, Anna Nilsson, and over Christmas vacation a tour of the school was given to AFS students from Nebraska and western Iowa, who were in Lincoln for a convention. Regular club meetings featured speakers, which included East's own Sriyani Candappa from Ceylon and Northeast's Oscar Brancamonte from Argentina.

F ebruary and March saw the club raising funds to support an orphan by selling at a basketball game and sponsoring Mum's Day, when boys vying for the title of "Mr Irresistible" tried to break feminine silence.

Closely connected -with International Club was the AFS program. King's Food tickets were sold to raise funds to support the school's three foreign students.

Spanish Christmas Party Highlights Club Activities

Striving to promote greater understanding and interest in the people and customs of Spanishspeaking countries, 26 students established the Spanish Club in October. The organization was led by PresidentJ-im Hayes, Vice-President Deb Stranathan, Secretary Julie Moreland and Treasurer Jeanene Nutz.

At an introductory meeting, Flamenco guitarist Charles Armstrong performed. Guest speakers during the year included Mrs. Judy Wilcox, who spoke on her trips through South America, and AFS student Ricardo Domingo, who told in Spanish about Christmas in his native Spain. A Spanish Christmas party, featuring Spanish games and traditions, highlighted the group's activities.

"Our club has one really unique quality," President Jim Hayes observed. "Almost all the active members are girls. There's only one boy in the club, and that's me!"

Because many of the first meetings were devoted to organization, "we haven't been able to do as many things as we would have liked," explained the club's sponsor Mrs. Anita Lemons. Jim added that recruiting active members, along with more and varied activities, ranked high on the list of Spanish Club's future goals.

Clashes, Splashes Mark German Club's Activities

With all of the problems inherent in forming a new club in a new school, this year's German Club, with nearly 20 members, still managed to work towards its goal, which was studying the cultures of German-speaking countries.

Leading the club were officers John Hancock, president; John Rogers, vice-president; Greg Holdren, secretary; Hamilton Bock, treasurer; and Phyllis· Hamilton, vice president in charge of activities. Organization was a problem and the club, according to Mr. William Hammelmann, sponsor, had difficulty in getting together regularly be- \ cause of activity conflicts.

One of the first things the club did, however, was to join forces with the Southeast German Club for a Christmas party at Capital Beach Lake. The highlight of the semester occured when the ice cracked under Vice-President John Rogers and he fell into the lake. Later in the year, traveler Jan Harris, of the University of Nebraska, spoke on her year in Germany. American Field Service student Anna Nilsson, became the first honorary member of the club.

Before school while most students frantically worked on the day's assignments or talked with their friends, the Chess Club met to practice their skills. Sponsor Mr. James McConnell offered his time and classroom for this early morning intrasquad competition. Club President Dan Draney and Vice-President Tom Brakke represented East High in the Nebraska Scholastic Chess Tournament.

The Red Cross Club, sponsored by Mr. Dennis Vokolek, undertook two major projects this year. Repairing toys for the Winnebago Indian children kept the small group of 18 busy during the fall. Before Christmas, they participated in a pop bottle drive with all Lincoln schools. Acting President Nancy Sutton stated, "Although the interested members were few in number, more participation is expected as East ' s population grows."

Considering his next move, President Dan Draney tries to outmaneuver his opponent, Vice-President Tom Brakke, during early morning chess game.

Science, Aviation Groups Study Lasers, Navigation

"Our most interesting project this year was building our own hovercraft ," reported Aviation Club president Gregg Henry. The club, consisting of 11 senior high boys, was extremely active throughout the year. Besides attending regular weekly meetiJ1gs and working on the hovercraft, the boys took seve1:'al field trips. They visited the control tower at the Lincoln Airport and the Air • National Guard, and also saw the Thunderbirds perform. In order to improve their knowledge of aviation the members took advantage of navigation ground school, taught by Mr . James Rakers, the club's sponsor. _ Science Club also was developing programs and projects which were designed to improve members' knowledge ~n the diverse fields of science. Speakers and demonstrations were presented on subjects ranging from lasers to electrical stimulation of the brain to careers in biochemistry. In addition to these areas, the bi-weekly meetings featured lectures by Mr. Robert Reeder, sponsor, and a chance for the ten members to work together on projects. John Haskins was club president with Gregg Henry as vice-president, Mary Kubovec, secretary, and Diane Sonderegger, treasurer.

Bands Strive To Present Noteworthy Performan ces

Among the first sounds of the school year were those of the marching band. Greeting students on the first day in the gymnasium, this group con .:. tinued to practice each morp.ing at eight o'clock in preparation for their weekly performances at football and basketball games. They encouraged spirit at pep rallies and on the football field during half time shows, at which eight majorettes contributed sparkle and color. Under the direction of Mr. Richard Kucera, the band also participated in concerts at school and marched in the parade for the Legion Commander

Diversity seemed to be a key note in the instrumental music department. Prep band was formed as a reserve group for the band. Adding valuable experience to their musical skills, members may audition for band the following year.

Stage band was an optional activity offered to interested students. Meeting once or twice a week after school, they practiced for their numerous engagements.

Orchestra Develops Skill; Encoura.ges Individualism

Divided between the demands of the classroom _ and the rigors of public performance, the 32 member orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Richard Kucera, spent the year perfecting individual skills and learning to act as a unit.

Leading this unit were officers Rick Buntain, president; Mike Gunn, vice-president; and Concert Mistress Pam Mickey, secretary. •

Included in the many activities of the orchestra were performances in the first musical program, concerts at other schools and Spartan Instrumental Night : Entrance of musical competition in the Fine Arts Festival in the Spring rounded out the year's schedule.

Among the instruments provided for students' use by the Music Department, were two grand pianos, an organ and a harp. Orchestra members were given the opportunity to utilize these instruments and the other facilities of the instrumental music resource center during their study centers.

Dollfins Splash Into Year With Swim Performance

Dollfins, the synchronized swim club, was sponsored by the girls' gym and swimming instructor, Miss Carol French, and her student teachers. The swim club was · organized for the purpose of presenting swimming shows during the school year.

Seventeen girls were selected to take part in the club by tryouts held at the beginning of the year. The tryouts were designed to test the girls' mastery of those skills essential to synchronized swimming. Participants met twice weekly in order to keep in practice.

Officers were Janet Lampshire, president, Georgia Lincoln, vice-president, Louise Hall, secretary, and Cheryl Dunn, treasurer.

The first Dollfin shows put on at East were on Nov. 30 and Dec 1. All the members participated in at least two numbers, including the finale Costumes were made by the girls or their mothers; other students helped with the show's background and lighting.

Miss French concluded , "They did a very nice job on the show, but can use some improvement , as any young club needs in the beginning."

Girls Gymnastics Group Emphasizes Skill, Agility

Coached by Miss Carol French , the Girls ' Gymnastics Club brightened half-time at the FremontEast High basketball game and gave other demonstration performances. The girls , sporting blue leotards, demonstrated their skills in five events. They performed individual rou ti nes on the trampoline, uneven parallel bars, bal a nce beam , mats and in free e~ercise. Dance steps and music helped the performers to · express feeling and move fluently from one step to another.

Open to any high school girl interested and willing to work hard, Gymnastics Club consisted of girls possessing average or above -average skills Members strove continually for a higher level of skill and gracefulness. Miss French stated , "We had very good talent; all the girls had to do was apply themselves."

East hosted other ;high schools , on April 6, at an inter-city meet for girls ' gymnastics Each girl competed in two events. These girls practiced two nights a week in preparation for this and other performances throughout the year.

Novice Members Capture Debate Tourney Trophy

The debate topic for the 1967-68 season was "Resolved: That Congress should establish uniform regulations to control criminal investigation procedures." After 10 weeks of extensive research, the first debate squad was prepared for a challenge. Participating in tournaments within the state , novice debaters earned the school's first debate trophy by taking second place at Norfolk

Keeping abreast of the news, debaters formed their own classroom library of useful magazines and utilized the many resources available in the school library. Class time each day was spent in learning the principles of good debating and exploring the unlimited possibilities of the subject. In preparation for each tournament, the Spartan debaters staged "mock" debates, having their information well in mind.

Under the careful guidance of Mrs. Linda Freeman, five of the fourteen members collected the 25 points necessary to become a member of the National Forensic League. Points were awarded for each tournament in which they participated, the number varying according to where the debater placed.

Reconsidering their notes and strategy in mock argumentation, debaters Jim Dodson and Tom Lawson prepare for the next forensic contest.

Shakespeare, Albee Begin Student Drama Tradition

Based in the Speech Department, under the supervision of Mr. Charles Carlson , student actors produced several plays this year, beginning with Shakespeare's comedy, "A Midsummer-Night's Dream," in mid-December

In an~iciP._~tion of the spring speech contest, Moliere's "Sganarelle" was produced under the direction of drama student teacher Mr. Bruce Borin. This play, a French farce performed in the commedia del arte manner, was entered in the Nebraska Fine Arts Festival, in March.

Other events in the speech contest included play reading, oral interpretation of poetry and prose, and original public address The play reading, a cutting from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" by Edward Albee, was done by dramatists Mark Lowry, Joanie Wickless, Jim Rupert and Gwen Roush. Oral interpretation of poetry was handled by Ed Johnson and oral interpretation of prose by Tom Bredenberg; original public address was undertaken by Gail Een.

Another activity was dramatic research through the Independent Study Program, with Tom Bredenberg, Sherry Tomek and Claudia Johnson participating.

Creative Writing Group Stimulates Poetry, Prose

Amateur writers from all grades met together this year to form the Creative Writing Club under the sponsorship of Mrs. Shirley Doan. Though student organized and run, the club had the benefit of encouragement and helpful criticism from student teachers Miss Joyce Vales, Miss Shiela Petrik and Miss Jennifer Marshall.

Student officers included Ann Henry, president; Ed Johnson, vice-president; and Paul Breckenridge, editor of the student literary publication, East Winds.

The club strove most to stimulate interest in creative writing of prose and poetry. The effort to publish student productions was calculated to employ the talents of each of the 1 O members.

Meetings, conducted on a bi-weekly basis, introduced members to the art of critical reading and analysis, while still emphasizing the importance of enjoyment. The club also attempted to spark non-members' interest in writing. A number of plans for publishing literary efforts of the student body were given consideration, but the proposal for a publication in magazine style met with the most approval.

Giant Spartan; Calendar Occupy Art Club's Time

Chances to develop artistic skills and exhibit original works of art were offered to students by the Art Club. This club, open to any senior high student, was formed in late September and met every Thursday after school in the art room. • •

The 26 members spent most of their time working on two club projects. The first was the construction of a life-size Spartan statue made of plci.ster; when complete, the statue was placed in the school for permanent display. The second club project was the designing and printing of a calendar which was distributed to club members.

In addition to the projects, the club also visited the Scholastic Art Awards show at Gold 's in February. In May the club sponsored an art show at the school. Although it was sponsored by the club, the show was open to entries from all students in the school.

The Spartan figure, created by the Art Club for permanent placement in the school, is worked on by members Candy Jacobs and Diane Sonderegger.

Broadway glamour came to the East auditorium stage May 2 and 4 when the advanced choir presented " The Lowland Sea ," by Alec Wilder. The operetta is the poignant story of a young girl named Dorie and Johnny , her l over. Johnny goes abroad as a sailor, and the plot centers around Dorie's behavior after his presumed death at sea.

The uniquely stark sets featured a stage bare to strict simplicity. Players abandoned almost all props and were costumed in everyday dress to preserve the informal mood The sense of travel pervading the story was stimulated with exotic slides shown on a scrim in the background.

The . entire production , dubbed " A Night on Broadway ," coupled the operetta with 26 show tunes Fifteen minutes of musical scores preceeded the operetta and concluded it with no distinct line to separate the three segments of the performance . Directed by Mr. Jon Peterson , the musical medley culminated an active year for the vocal department. Future musicals will be the work of the select mixed group , East Singers.

Spring fever infected Spartans, as the final weeks of school drew near . As the season progressed , so did the desire to be outdoors canoeing, cycling or kite-flying with friends.

Busily planning their senior spring day , the seniors held several class meetings. Committees planned activities in the gyms and outside on the lawn , with a barbecue later in the evening. A combo in the upper level of the gym furnished music

A pp roaching commencement exercises geared students' thoughts to the Baccalaureate services , senior announcements and caps and gowns. With aching muscles and high hopes , sophomore and junior girls awaited the day of cheerleader tryouts. During after-school practices , varsity cheerleaders showed them proper positions for cheers and gave helpful criticism to the girls.

The approaching primary election turned students' attentions toward national affairs. Many students actively campaigned for presidential hopefuls. While many more participated in the impromptu debates in the halls.

Narrow Defeats Mark Team's Early Progress

It could easily have been called the " Year of Frustration " for the first East High football team. Concluding the season with an 0-8 record the young Spartans soon discovered it is more difficult to lose the close-fought game than go down in lopsided defeat .

At the beginning of the year most observers had predicted many one-sided def eats for East. The Spartans soon changed the opinions of these people Debuting against Hastings , the obviously nervous East team gave up an early first quarter touchdown to the Tigers. The Spartans did not yield another score as they struggled for victory. Quarterback Bruce Northrop was dropped for two consecutive losses at the nine yard line, as East finally succumbed, 6-0.

The following week East scored their first touchdown against Alliance but lost 13-6 to a final Bulldog rally In their third game the Spartans controlled the ball 52 out of 72 plays but fell 20-7 , as Council Bluffs ' Abraham Lincoln scored early. East's first intra-city conflict pitted them against the state ' s third ranked Lincoln High team. The Links were surprised and held to a one touchdown lead at half time , but came out angry to smear East 54-0 in the second half. The Lincoln High game marked the conclusion of the first h~lf of the football season, and a high in frustration and disappointment.

Spartan Spirit Persists During Premier Season

Normal was not the word for the Spartan ' s first varsity football season . Even though the statistics showed · a losing season, Coach Lee Zentic commented that the record did not reflect the team ' s ability, spirit or determination. Because they did not have any lettermen, the coaches were forced to go with a team heavy laden with underclassmen. East ' s competition also proved better then predicted. The desire not to lose to a new high school often encouraged even the poorer opposition , who felt a loss would mean disgrace, to play better

Of the 40 boys who dressed at various times for varsity games several received horiors Jim May received All-City laurels for his performance at tackle. All-City honorable mention went to Craig Elliott, Len Dickinson , Bob McGinnis , Rick Mertens, and Bruce Northrop.

Reserve Team Receives

Hard

Hitting Exp _ erience

This year's reserve team had only nine permanent players all year. The rest of the team played football for the varsity or for the sophomores . After a late start , a four game schedule was worked out, with one game against each of the other Lincoln High Schools.

The young Spartans dropped their first game 18-0 , after holding the eventual city champ, Lincoln High, scoreless through the first three quarters. Sophomore quarterback Dave Dunnigan scored the first touchdown of the season on a 32yard run in the Southeast game The rest of the intra-city competition also proved tough, as East lost its last three games.

Despite losing all their games, there were bright spots which made it a rewarding season. Coach Lee Zentic pointed out that many players gained valuable experience.

Sophomores Fight Hard: Give East First Victory

Although not finishing the year with a perfect record, the sophomore team did achieve many things. Their proudest accomplishment proved to be their 6-o · victory over Lincoln High. The win came in the closing minutes of the game when Jeff Munnis caught a 35-yard touchdown pass for the decisive score. This victory was the first one for East High in any athletic event.

The East sophomore team was at a disadvantage in that a good number of sophomores who might have been on the team were moved up to the reserve and varsity teams because of the lack of upperclassmen.

Coach Bob Falos said that the strong point of the team was that they never gave up. The sophomores were within reach of victory in most of their games until the final quarter. Some of the outstanding players on the team were offensive halfback Ron Weichbrodt, linebacker Dave Ottoson and monster man Scott Levey.

Coach Falos summed the season up by saying, "To win a race you must take many steps. Our victory over Lincoln High is the first step in East High's history on the road to championship teams."

Showing the determination which the entire sophomore team displayed during the season, Tom Waddle strains in pursuit of a Southeast back.

Cross Country Runners

Conclude Active Season

Beginning two weeks before school opened, cross country attracted nine boys who competed in varsity and reserve meets. Most of the meets were run on East's new cross country course, which proved to be one of the toughest in the state. Other meets included the Kearney, Fremont and Wesleyan Invitationals and the city and district meets.

Because the other schools had been practicing all summer, Coach Jim McConnell explained that the East team was about four weeks behind them. The team had 11 meets in which they competed against such cross country powers as Omaha Westside, Lincoln High and Hastings. East beat Pius X several times in duals and triangulars, and came within a few points of upsetting Northeast.

The team consisted of seniors Ken Steele, Bob Rutledge and Mike Ragatz; juniors Greg Holdren, Don Vande Krol and Steve Farmer; sophomores Eberhard Wunderlich, Barry Cross and Kent Kolmorgen. Greg Holdren led the team until Ken Steele transferred from the football team giving the harriers a boost.

Becoming the first lettermen in the history of East High School, Steele, Rutledge, Ragatz, Holdren and Wunderlich were awarded letters on the basis of their performance.

Rated Competition Deals Roundballers 1-14 R·ecord

Opening the season as if they had more problems than could be solved, the varsity cagers came forth at mid-season with some good solutions . The team's inexperience became evident in their first two games, as they lost by large margins to Southeast and Lincoln High.

Mounting a scoring attack against Millard, East was finally stopped 72-61 , as the Indians cashed in on crucial free-throws Moving back to class "A" competition, the Spartans forced Pius X into a third-quarter rally before losing by 14 points.

Against Kearney East saw an eight point ad\. vantage vanish along with victory hopes, as the Bearcats came back to ·win, 49-47 With hopes increased the following night, East came apart , allowing Holdrege to breeze p~st , 79-60. Victory looked even more distant as successive routs were dealt by Beatrice and North Platte. The Spartans failed to show good scoring or rebounding in either game

Then in a turnabout, the Spartans came from behind to whip Nebraska City , 68-55. The steadily improving squad seemed to jell as they used balanced · outside scoring and a strong inside rebounding to record victory number one.

Despite losing their final seven games, improvement continued. All the remaining contests were against rated clubs c 1osing out the season, East saw a two point deficit build to 27 , as Northeast knocked East out of district tournament play, 71-44.

Individual standouts marked the progress of the basketball team throughout the season. Tony Contreras was named by the Lincoln Journal-Star the outstanding high school player of the week beca use of his excellent play against Nebraska City.

Barry Blue remained high on the city scoring chart throughout most of the year and finished third. Blue was the only sophomore among the top ten scorers with a 15 plus average. Blue's high game was 26 points against Northeast. Contreras tallied 25 in the Nebraska City game and senior \ Mark Hayman scored 25 in a losing cause against Columbus . Rich Butle·r, East's tall pivot, was singled out by Coach Paul Forch as the team's best defensive player.

Early in the season, turn-overs proved costly for the team, and they resulted in the loss· of important baskets. The lack of experience and team co-ordination were also detrimental during the year. Against Kearney the squad lost an eight point lead and the game due to a mix-up in instructions

The Spartans tough schedule also made it difficult for the young players. Out of 15 games, 11 were with teams rated in the top ten at one time or another during the year. The last seven games, all losses were with top ten teams.

Reserve Cagers Surge, Record 7-8 Seas~n Log

Off to a slow start, the reserve team steadily improved as the season progressed After a two point loss in their opener to Southeast , the cagers bounced back to hand the Knights a 43-33 drubbing. Contributing to the Spartans' late season success was the inspired play of sophomore Stan Hegener, who was moved up from the sophomore team at mid-season. Hegener proved to be a capable team leader and was usually near the top in individual statistics.

Coach Rudy Stoehr pointed out that good individual performances combined with a strong team effort resulted in the late season surge, which brought the reserve record to 7-8. Hegener, Dave Loos, Dick Kohler and Milan Stuebe led the potent scoring attack. Rick Mertens was also a team leader until injuries sidelined him at midseason.

Although a reserve team, there were only two upperclassmen on the squad, the rest of the team was composed of sophomores. Much of the competition faced, however, was composed of juniors and members of the varsity teams.

back , disappointment as the lead changes hands, and frustration when a desperate bid for victory falters against crosstown rival Lincoln High.

Sophomore Team Boasts

Second Place in Lincoln

Performing exceptionally at the beginning of the year, the sophomore basketball team was stopped ' in their final bid for the city championship. As it was, the squad finished in second place behind Southeast and Northeast, who tied for first place.

Through the first seven games the Spartans gathered a 6-1 record. Plagued by inconsistency the second part of the season, the sophomores skidded to 8-4.

Stalwarts for the team, coached by Mr. Bob Falos, were forward Bill Oberg, center Jay Kreimer and guards Rick Rolfsmeyer and Lloyd Ness, Further ·depth was provided by Jeff Gade, John Crose, Dave Dunnigan, Dave Billesbach and Pat Chambers.

Though disappointed, the players proved they could have gone all the way as they showed championship qualities in winning several close games. These included a two point nerve-racker against Pius X and an even tighter one-pointer over Northeast.

The championship was not determined until the final game, which pitted East against Southeast. East lost 48-39, and dropped into second place. The game typified the season by its closeness

Young Spartan Grapplers Take Initial Varsity Win

Recording the school's fi-rst victory in any varsity competition, was one of the wrestling team's main achievements. The victory came against Crete, 23-21. The matmen also captured a close match over Beatrice, 22-20. Although the team posted a dismal 2-10 record, there were several outstanding individuals.

John Lowe won the district championship in the 95 pound weight class. Lowe, a sophomore, finished the regular season with an 18-0 record and placed fourth in the state meet. Len Dickinson , District champion in the 145 weight class failed to place in the state meet. Steve Hastings, who came on strong in the second part of the season also qualified for state competition. The team was strengthened the second semester when Mark Jones and Steve Bush became eligible for competition. Jones and Bush made five the number of qualifiers from East for the state meets. Bill Shepherd also gained valuable points during most meets. Further depth came from heavyweight Jerry Stoner. Being the last wrestler in each meet , Stoner often decided whether East won or lost.

The ;major problem faced by the team was the lack of experience. As the season progressed the newly acquired depth gained by experience began to show. The team demonstrated their depth by capturing fourth in the Trans-Nebraska Conference Meet.

1·ndividuals Provid _ e Spark For Gymnastics Season

The taste of victory came early for the gymnastics team, but proved to be a rare diet. The triumph came at the Omaha North Invitational 1n the Novice Division. From that time on the season was difficult, as the squad went winless through eig~t dual meets.

Major problems were lack of experience and depth. Added strength was gained during second semester with the , addition of Mike Jones. While competing in only three meets, Jones was the team's third highest scorer and only state qualifier.

Consistent scoring from Barry Cross and Larry Bond supplied the rest of the team strength. More points were provided by Wayne Kubicek, Tom Burtch, Hal Traver and Jerry York.

When injuries sidelined Cross and Burtch, hopes of a dual meet victory faded. The last two meets were the closest of the year, but the absence of Cross and Burtch proved fatal, as East lost to North Platte, 63-49, and fell 61½-50½ to Beatrice.

Mike Jones received an award as "the outstanding gymnast of the year" at the end of the season.

Tankers Have 5-5 Year; Pull Out Tenth at State

Grabbing the honor of being the first varsity team with an even record, the best record of any varsity team, were the swimmers. The tankers •started the season placing fifth in the Lincoln High Invitati onal Relay Meet and finished the year placing tenth out of 24 at the state meet. Following an unpleasant introduction to dual meet competition , after back to back losses to Hastings and Southeast, the swimmers came on strong to finish with a 5-5 season.

Victories came against Omaha Bryan, Northeast, Columbus , Grand Island and Fremont. Out- \ standing performances by Joe Arkfeld, Gale Jackman, Steve Mccutcheon, Jim Arkfeld, Don Vande Krol, Dave Wicks and Jim Wendt led to the fine record. Coach Dennis Vokolek commended his swimmers for their desire and individual improvement . Competition proved stiff for the .team, meeting state leaders Lincoln High and Southeast in both city and conference meets. Practice paid off, however, as the tankers placed fourth in each meet and qualified 18 swimmers for the state meet at East.

In the state meet final the Spartans qualified two relay teams and two individuals. Joe Arkfeld placed third in both the 100 and 200 yard freesty les. Gale -Jackman, placed ninth and eleventh in the 200 and 400 yard freestyles respectively. The 200 yard medley relay team finished tenth and the 400 freestyle relay team eleventh.

Supplied with lettermen from other schools, East High's track situation looked better than in many other sports University High gave East three lettermen They were Bob Rutledge in the 440 , 100, high jump and broad jump; Roy Elliott in the high jump and hurdles; and Ken Steele in the pole vault and middle distances. Rich Stansbury from Northeast in the broad jump rounded out the city's tracksters.

Omaha also provided the school with two fine lettermen in middle distance runner Paul Kratz and broad jumper Bruce Northrop.

The rest of the events were left without experience, but promising sophomores were expected to fill in the vacancies Dave Billesbach and Tom Graham looked good in practic es and along with East's cross country letterman Eberhard Wunderlich rounded out the distance runners .

Sophomores Pat Gibbons and Ron Weichbrodt were on the 880 relay and added depth to the spr inting corps. Rod Loos and Bob McGinnis, so phomores; were joined by juniors Bruce Schlaebitz and Dan Bowlin to make up the weightmen. During the season, the team had three invitationals which prepared the squad for the District Meet on May 1 o and the State Meet on May 1 7.

Netters Fall in Opener,

Rely on Team Balance

Despite being halted in their first endeavor for victory against Omaha Bryan , East's netters showed early season development. Relying on what Coach Bill North termed a team with "good strength a11:- a1o~g the line" the squad readied itself for the remainder of the year.

Ten other matches were featured throughout the season with the Trans-Conference Meet on April 26 and 27 The annual State Meet concluded the season on May 17. Of the 17 boys who reported for the spring practice five participated in the City Meet with only three being able to go to the State Meet. Chuck Berst, runner-up in the Elks Tournament, brought the only experience to the young squad. Greg Weier, who had not started playing tennis until the summer, led the team. Larry Day, Dick Kohler and Rick Buntain rounded out the varsity team . The rest of the squad was composed of sophomores and juniors.

Calisthenics, challenge matches and running were used in the spring to condition the netters. Coach North cited the players for their rapid improvement and desire to learn.

Baseballers Gain Skills; Fundamentals Emphasized

Braving the cold of early spring, Coach Rudy Stoehr's baseball team got off to a slow and tedious start. On a few occasions the team yielded to the elements and went inside to practice. Both hitting and fielding were emphasized by the coaches . The pitching, weak at first, developed as the season progressed

Like most of the athletic teams at East, baseball was composed mostly of sophomores, a few juniors and a limited number of seniors The varsity and reserve teams usually practiced together under the joint leadership of Coach Stoehr, Reserve Coach Bob Falos and Assistant Coach Dennis Raetz.

A pre-season exhibition game with Northeast gave the team both experience and a boost to their morale. The varsity won by a substantial margin, but the reserves were defeated due to an early inning onslaught by Northeast

The regular season opened on March 30 against Elmwood. The varsity had a 14 game schedule and the reserves eight games. The season, along with the District and State Tournaments, lasted into the middle of May. Among the tougher competitors , were city rivals Southeast, Lincoln High and Pi us X.

Coach Jerry Trimble's golf squad began the year in a different way from the other city high schools Coach Trimble had the boys run a mile and go through a daily exercise program to keep them in good shape for the first match against Pius X on April 5

The team was composed of 27 boys. This included 20 sophomores, five juniors and two seniors. Due to the large turnout, the team was divided into three groups: varsity, junior varsity and a reserve squad .

At the beginning of the season, the boys withstood cold weather and winds to practice, but the weather changed allowing qualifying rounds to be held. Ten boys qualified for the first two teams. The reserve squad was set up for the boys who did not qualify for either the varsity or the junior varsity.

Sophomores Paul Malone, Jay Oxton, Brad Reynolds and Dave Fischbach led the qualifying rounds throughout most of the season. The year consisted of 13 matches, which included duals, triangulars and invitationals , and the annual City and State meets at the end of the year.

E-Club Promotes Project; Sportsmanship Stressed

At the conclusion of the football and cross country seasons the E-Club was formed for athletes who had earned varsity letters in either sport. Anyone lettering in the remaining sports immediately became eligible for membership. The objectives of the club were to promote good sportsmanship ani.ong athletes and, just as important, · to try to generate a feeling of good sportsmanship among audiences at sporting events.

At the first meeting of the E-Club, Paul Kratz was elected president and Jim May vice-president. Eberhard Wunderlich and Mark Coyle were chosen historians, responsible for keeping a permanent record of all athletic events.

Several money making projects were organized by the lettermen's club. Programs were sold at all of the football and ba'sketball games, with the club also operating the concession stands occasionally. Later in the year car decals and candy were sold.

The goal of the club was to buy a physical fitness machine with the profits. The machine was an athletic setup of weights, which could be used by as many as ten people at one time. The total cost was over 1,000 dollars, with the machine to be purchased ·from Lincoln High.

Intramural Boys Exercise

Full Group Participation

"A sport for everyone , everybody in a spor t," were the words of Mr . Garry Powell in outlining the goals of the rigorous boys intramural program Intramurals were organized at the beginning of the school year for senior high boys More than 300 boys participated in the nine sports offered

Flag football began the program The rest of the year included water polo , weightlifting , table tennis , basketball , volleyball , badminton and softball. The variety of sports pointed to what Mr . Powell felt was the most important factor of the program-the opportunity for all interested students to participate

The chance to take part meant involvement in what Mr. Powell termed an "outstanding program." East ' s program compared well with the other Lincoln schools, as the sophomore basketball team placed second in city intramural games .

Anyone who was not entered in a varsity or reserve event was able to join a team The games normally were played in the gym after school , under the guidance of Mr Powell and his assistant , Mr. Jean Henrichs

Girls lntramurals Create Full Season of Enjoyment

Until the last few years, girls sports had been ignored by the Lincoln schools. Sin9e that time , however, there has been a new move to -improve intramurals and start a program of inter-school competition. In keeping with this move, ;East opened with hopes of beginning an active program in both areas.

,

Miss Carol French, intramural director, noted that East patterned its system of girls sports after the other Lincoln schools, with the exception of dancing which was unique at East. The full season schedule consisted of nine sports which were open to any girl who wished to participate.

More than 130 girls joined the volleyball and basketball teams, while others entered into the additional seven sports. The volleyball team compiled a 3-9 record in competition, with the field hockey, tennis, golf and competitive swimming teams also involved in city competition. Track and badminton rounded out the program.

The purpose of girls sports, according to Miss French, was to provide the girls with time to relax, meet friends and exercise.

Team work pays off, as sophomores Peg Mertens and Debbie Dohman combine talents to return a difficult serve back over the net in badminton.

0 0ut of the many, one. 0 The individual, in a world of individuals, finds his experience broadened - not cramped; in the crowd he discovers a measure of boundlessness, a kind of freedom in responsibility. To have built a school - which means people as well as door;ambs - is an accomplishment, but not in a finished sense. Building is a process, a continued creation, a maturing. There are no teachers, only students, only learning. Everything progresses. Education above all is always a beginning, a beginning that extends to the furthest limits of human potentiality . ... Nothing is ever finished.
