East High 1970 Yearbook

East High School

Lincoln, Nebraska

Volume m

History must be more than just a collection of individual responses and attitudes that have been accumulated and summarized for convenience.

We must not sacrifice aqcuracy for convenience. The year 1969-1970 needs to be more than summarized in retrospect. Accuracy is essential.

To investigate personal reactions-the fundamentals of history-in depth is to achieve a precise account of that which you are recording. This is our objective.

I don't want to lose what is personal to me and have it summarized and related to the whole mass.

Students were trying, teachers were trying, parents were trying: trying to probe for reactions in every possible way; trying to express their feelings without getting personal; trying to have that quick witty answer for the question nobody can answer; trying to form an opinion so as not to be caught without one or simply trying to avoid it all completely.

After we earned the city football crown last November a policeman on hand noted: 'They ·sure don't seem too excited about it. I expected a whole lot of yelling and cheering and they're just going home." Posters stood for weeks unnoticed. Student Council grew frustrated at an apparent lack of concern. Dances failed. Bake sales and donut sales flourished. The only effective appeal must be to the stomach.

I have what it takes one to be, No one else but the singular, Remarkable, unique, original, I ' \' .. . . . m me.

Anyone can take a poll :

"'Alright now, all those in favor of a pass-fail grading system raise your hands ... any opposed? We had a lot of you not voting. Let's have Mark stand up and act as a spokesman for those in favor. O.K. Mark, why did you vote for it?"

"Well ma'am, I feel that if a student can't then he certainly shouldn't "

"Thank you. Very well summarized. We'll call that the majority opinion."

The truth is that the student in the side row who never says much has his own opinion. They all have their own opinions and to dilute and pollute the value of • each individual's response by summarizing and blending it with the rest is conveniently criminal.

Ultimately it matters only what you think, not what 53 percent of those interviewed think.

So What?

I glance around and ask myself if I really envy the people who diligently do their homework and pull in the spectacular grades.

I then tell myself that while I'm here the most important thing is learning something of value to me. Grades become secondary, but I'm forced to ask myself still another question. Who actually learns more, those who sit and wait for knowledge or those who dig in and find it?

" I have learned that students have a great deal to contribute if the teacher ·will give them a chance."

"A glimpse of the sun shining between classes. II

Classes: Depths of Despair, Peaks of Pride

War moratoriums, controversy over Nixon's pol'icies, the issue of legalizing marijuana-all factors that clutter our minds while we try to concentrate on a · pile of books.

We sometimes consider how unimportant our minds are to the· world. There are times when we can't even solve an algebra problem. How can we be expected to express our own opinions on major issues when congressmen offer false hopes and make promises that can't be fulfilled, instead of admitting "I don't know''?

Social issues are constantly discussed in our classrooms. We rarely hear lectures demanding that we adopt established concepts. Instead, we're encouraged to form individual opinions from the conflicting thoughts presented to us by our teachers and classmates.

Some of us find ourselves scared to take a position on many issues. No matter which way we turn there will always be a classmate's tongue setting up a dead end for our minds _ by exposing our faulty reasoning.

We would be blind if we couldn't see the relationship between school and the

world. Some day we won't be in school. We must learn to listen to everyone's ideas, to let everyone speak, to respect everyone's thoughts. Our world should begin where the ' opportunities and advantages exist.

Students have a wide rnnge '.)f interests at East. When asked what meant the most to him, one student answered, "finding myself," while another commented, "People-to get socially ready for the world."

The world's problems seem to make us look petty when we worry about grades or what plans have been made for the upcoming weekend. We're here, the world's problems continue, and sometimes the only important thing to us is catching a glimpse of the sun shining as we pass through the halls between classes.

Most of us found something this year that gave us a purpose for continuing our struggle with life's academic frustrations. While some looked forward only to the

Many of us seem sensitive to adults' generalizations of the "teenager." Some seem to catagorize us as disrespectful without examining individual merits.

Most teachers at East would disagree with the above concept. Many faculty members give students and teachers equal respect. They agree with physics teacher, Mr. Douglas Wilson, who concluded, "I automatically expect respect because I'm a human being-but only for that reason. I am fully aware that a person's prior experience may prejudice him against me because I am a teacher, an old fogey over 30."

Most students are concerned with the grading system, but for various reasons. Some of the motives behind it are college, parental pride and a sense of attacking and conquering a goal.

Many teachers expressed their desire to grade on a pass-fail basis. They claimed the grading system is an inaccurate evaluation of a student's ability.

n The student body makes up the school- - that's all there is -- without it there's just an empty old shell. 11

- -a senior

end of the day, others looked forward to a class. "In Philosophy-you talk about problems relevant to us right now; the teacher is well-read, humorous, talks on our level, understands our problems and keeps the class' attention," a senior said. Class discussions replaced lectures more and more. Performance classes and other methods were put into effect to create "a change of pace."

However, one student criticized his classes in general, "One of my classes is boring because of necessity, the other four because of stupidity, laziness or tradition."

Most teachers tried to make the students feel like individuals and many adopted philosophies similar to that of Mr. Bill North, American studies teacher, "I prefer class discussion where I can take my turn with a student as chairman or teacher. I am in the audience."

One student reasoned, "If they didn't have grades then there wouldn't be much sense in learning; you wouldn't have to try."

Some feel that learning something of personal value is more important than any evaluation made by a teacher. They agree with the comment, "Grades don't mean anything-most grades are earned by pleasing the teacher, but learning is on an individual level of desire."

Mr. Larry Rogers, history and philosophy teacher, compared grading to the town dice game. "Nobody likes it but it's the only game in town."

Mr. Edward Kemble, history teacher, was concerned with the way in which the system recognized gradations of passing but not of failing. "He who does much, gets a better grade than he who does enough; but he who does little gets no better grade than he who does nothing."

" I'm in this business because I enjoy it. It is the only job I've had where the time goes so fast that the day is over before I'm finished."

Self-Motivation: Byproduct of Daily Learning

"If you're really serious about learning you can get as far ahead as your initiative takes you."

Classroom learning is not for everyone. Some students learn by self research in a subject, while others gain knowledge by listening to people.

Independent study projects offered limitless opportunities to the student this year. Mr. Larry f{ogers, history instructor, declared, ,,I would guess that you learn more when you do personal research and learning than when someone feeds the information to you. You can also choose your own area of interest." He felt that his students under this program had been very successfu I.

Mr. Harold Hoff, English teacher, was a little skeptical about this type of study. He explained, "The student may become more proficient in one area, but he must be careful to include a 'wellrounded' program."

Performance classes were another type of study in which self-motivation played a big part in learning. Many teachers and students had favorable feelings about this

kind of classroom situation. As Mr. Robert Barrett of the History Department put it, "The performance classes are far superior to the traditional class."

Mrs. Marian Hanson, math instructor, saw some drawbacks when she said, "I prefer the performance over the traditional but I do not think I could teach a full schedule because of the demands on the time and energy of the teacher. Also I do not feel that all students can function well in that type of class."

A student put it very bluntly, "I can study when I want to. I'm learning much more because we don't waste our time listening to lectures."

A variety of tools and resources are used in the learning field. The library and special resource areas were in constant use throughout this year. One student had this to say about a resource area: "I use the library when I really want to study."

As for the actual study center, many

people used it as a place for casual conversations and also for discussions about controversial subjects.

Classrool'T! techniques included small group discussions, special speakers and many types of visual aids.

Tutoring was a stuaent -t o-student way of learning. It was a method which used students as resource people. Many individuals got positive results from tutoring. They felt both tutor and the one being tutored learned a great deal.

Student teachers offered "more indiv id u a Ii zed attention." There were approximately 115 student teachers each semester. They taught with the teachers and, in this way, the student benefited from two people and often two approaches.

One individual commented on student teachers: "You get younger opinions and views. They add to the classroom and take out some of its dullness."

Administrators Pursue Progressive Goal,s

Not too long ago blackboards were actually black, textbooks were used until worn out and high school administrators were old men who spoke sternly to kids and gave talks to the PT A. This era is now as far gone from East High as the sock hop. Adaptability and progressive plan-

n i ng a re requirements for today's administrator to survive in a system which is marked for rapid revisions.

This change was noted by Dr. Jean McGrew, principal, who remembers his first years in administration as a transition from a "book of rules" approach

toward an emphasis on independent responses fit to independent situations.

"There's much that you don't know that we don't know either," antj with that, essential fact to temper their reactions, our administrators found their job a continual learning experience.

Innovations such as town halls and class audits were periodically inserted, tested and evaluated. For every new idea enacted many more were eliminated out of practicality and reality.

Mr. Frank Masek, assistant principal in charge of instruction, commented that teachers are required to serve in roles that waste their educational abilities. "Most teachers like to teach and enjoy learning." A study hall or lunchroom supervisor is doing little of either.

Mr. Masek would welcome paraprofessionals as replacements in other than educational tasks asked of teachers. But limited time and money form at least a temporary obstruction to this and other practices.

Just as the entire educational approach has shifted now from what it was in the fifties, likewise for the future. Mr. Darwin Salestrom, vice principal, recognizes that one of the obligations of the adminis-trator is to take a panoramic view of the trends and modes being taken by · education and to creatively combine the most valuable innovations with the most valuable traditions.

The duty, then, of the administrator is to be a continuity factor as well as a change agent in directing the enormous potentials of youth.

Mr. James Rakers, assistant principal in charge of student affairs, Summarized the attitude the administrator must have towards his duty: "It must be a willingness to accept the fact that the world is changing and that young people definitely do have a positive influence on that change."

Care er Day Prompts Occupational Decis ·ions

New approaches challenged the Counseling Department this year. Due to the greater number of students, a schedule was set up which established monthly meetif)gs for each class. •

Career Day became the new program for giving students occupation information. It was held on Oct. 22, during second and third periods. All senior high students participated by going to two areas of their choice, where qualified speakers gave them the information they requested.

The four new members of the counseling staff included Mrs. Deonne Smith, administrative assistant to Mr. James Rakers; Mr. Neal Zimmerman, seventh and eighth grade counselor; and Mrs. Anna Belle Darnell and Mr. Ivan Goochey, who joined last year's two remaining counselors in charge of the ninth through twelfth graders.

English Revisions Reflect Student Requests

The recent student cry for relevancy was answered with alterations in the English curriculum.

Communications and Linguistics courses, open to juniors and seniors, were introduced second semester Films and the effects of mass media were stressed i n the Communications classes , wh ich were taught by Mrs Jennifer Johnson and Mr Harold Hoff.

Mr James Holechek taught the Linguistics course, whic h was based on the study of language from the point of view of history, slang, social influence, personal influences and words as tools of professionals.

Black literature appeared on the shelves of the Junior English classes and, as Mrs. Ann Barry explained, "It had something to offer as modern and relevant reading."

Speech classes were characterized by different teaching and learning techniques

this year, as the emphasis was placed on the ability to communicate.

A new face in the .Orama Department was that of Mr. E. Mike Dobbins, depaqment chairman. "In all of my classes I wanted them to use natural experiences in their work," explained Mr. Dobbins, who noted that the major objective was improvisation.

The 1969-70 school year found approximately 30 students attracted to the debate program. "This has been our peak year," noted Mrs. Linda Freeman, instructor.

"The mass media are changing and so must high school publications," remarked Mrs. Jennifer Johnson, yearbook and newspaper advisor. In accordance with this new policy, the Journalism Department revised its courses and publications to bring out interpretive and depth approaches.

Computers, Calculus Enter Ma-th Curricu ·lum

Most people can spell and pronounce the word "computer," but as far as understanding the machine itself goes, their minds are blank.

The Math Department tried to clear up some of th is ignorance by offering one section of Introduction to Computers

A desk calculator, the Olivetti Programma 101, was at student disposal for the first six weeks of school.

Late in September, a terminal to the IBM 360 Compute r at the University of

Nebraska was installed in the school. This gave novice programmers access to most of the University's computer facilities and gave them the opportunity to run their programs any time during the week.

The Math Department initiated two new classes for seniors this year. The Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry classes were replaced by Pre-Calculus, while advanced seniors took a Calculus course based on th \e University's Math 114 and 115.

Histqry Classes Say 'Good-bye' to Columbus

Students in the American history courses didn't start with Columbus this year. Instead a new approach was tried where the usual stress on strict chronological dates was disregarded, and topics ranging in different periods of time were studied.

Junior high social studies classes focused on performance programs and comparisons of current and past events.

A study of the stock market was an important part of the economics classes. Students not only observed buying and

selling but also case studies of certain related businesses.

"The young people have to be listened to-especially the minority groups," was one opinion voiced by Gov. Norbert Tiemann, who visited the Modern Problems classes in November. Issues ranging from welfare to Vice President Agnew's view on the press were discussed by the governor and the students.

Guest· speakers from the continent of Africa were featured in International Relations, the new course added to the

history curriculum this year. Surveying Africa south of the Sahara, the course included in-depth studies of tribal structures.

The Graeco-Roman classes "went Greek" for two days during teachers' convention. A trip to Kansas City gave them the opportunity to see model Greek architecture. Among other things, those who went dined at a Greek restaurant and danced Grecian dances.

"It's a great honor to meet you." No longer did Spanish and French students learn this line in their first year. Instead, "Hi, what's new?" became the familiar line from the new Holt, Rineheart and Winston series.

This series has shorter dialogues and new audial visual materials which, as Mrs. JoRene Wilken commented, "are really apropos to teenage vocabulary."

With a class of only six, fifth year French was taught th is year. The class met on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. An 8 a.m. Thursday morning class at Lincoln High was conducted by a native French speaker.

Other "firsts" in the language department were classes for fourth year Spanish and German students.

Dancing, singing and even eating "hot" Spanish food were a part of some experimenting done in one of the third year Spanish classes

Mr. Dale Vigil commented, "When more culture is introduced, more interest develops and thus self-motivation comes about, which is the primary objective trying to be achieved in this experiment."

s . cience Program Com~ines Lab Work, Individual Study

"Inquiry" was the key to the Science Department's slant on teaching. The classes were more student oriented, with the emphasis on individual labwork and small group work rather than on the teacher's lectures.

Chem-Phys, a new four semester course, and one class of accelerated biology were offered on the performance level. In .these classes students were given an outline to follow and were free to complete the work at their own speed.

Students were chosen for performance classes on the basis of their previous science grades, teacher and counselor recommendations and grades on the Iowa tests.

New equipment included a $1,600 calculator, a "fancy adding machine" used in physical science problem solving. Aerospace students made use of a Link Trainer, an apparatus that simulates airplane flight.

\ Driving Fears Fade as 260 Gain Experience

Spring and fall registrations found over 260 students enrolled in Drivers Education for the 1969-1970 school year.

Making the transition from the English Department, Mr. Robert Eyth became a full time Drivers Education instructor.

In preparation for the future, the department outlined pl.ans to construct a practice range on the school grounds. The area, which would possibly include a control center, would provide students with the opportunity to gain experience in passing, backing and parallel parking.

More emphasis on individual achievement was the basis for new business classes. One addition to the curriculum was Performance Level Typing. Typing students worked at their own level, each student receiving a grade instead of the pass-fail system used in Personal Typing.

Each morning over 30 girls took dicta- • tion, operated the key punch and sorter, and learned the technique necessary to operate the calculators. With the use of pre-recorded instructions, Performance Level Office Machine students were able to master one machine before they attempted another.

Notehand, a new one semester course in the Business Department, offered students both instruction and a system to take notes.

Males Infiltrate Home Ee; Topics Ignite Controversy

This year for the first time the male population of East took an interest in Family Living. Sex education and child care were emphasized in this course taught by Mrs. Marilyn Gade.

Miss Rose Marie Tondl's clothing and textiles classes deviated from sewing skills to learn about textiles, their uses, how they affect people and the careers avail-

able in this field.

An independent study, where the girls worked on their own in class with limited supervision, was initiated on a trial basis for the ninth grade foods class by Mrs. Marlene Bachmann, the new junior high home ec. teacher. This was also the first year for independent study in the home economics field.

Industrial Arts Attracts Greater Enrollmen t

With the addition of a fourth instructor to the Industrial Arts Department, greater enrollment opportunities were available. Contributing to the growth of the department was the increasing number of girls who became involved in the various aspects of industrial arts.

A one semester crafts class was added to the curriculum, giving students the opportunity to work with wood, plastic, leather and metal.

Teaching methods varied according to the course and teacher, but individual progress and creativity were stressed in each area.

Department Aims To Polish Musical Taste

Personalization of the curriculum was the chief objective and the biggest change in the Music Department this year. Previously, classes were geared toward group accomplishment, but the new goal was personal satisfaction.

"I noticed a complete change in student attitude," said Mr. Jon Peterson, high school vocal director. "More people, for the first time, are really interested." In anticipation of this change two courses in the development of music, Music Theory and Music Appreciation, were added to the curriculum.

Mr. Richard Kucera, high school instrumental director; Mr. Duane Johnson, junior high director; and Mrs. Ethel Schram, junior high vocal instructor all developed more personalized courses and noted a new maturity in their students as a result.

Art Constructions Convey Social Comm~~t

Art constructions, a type of collage in th.e form of sculpture, expressed the opinions and feelings of their senior high creators th i s year. Mr. Steve Lahr , art teacher, explained that each const r uction was not "just a thing of beauty," but actually exemplified comments and cri t icisms about society.

Mr Lahr's junior high students worked independently on projects of th eir own They were allowed to concentrate in one area or work w i th a combination of oil painting, sculpturing and print making. Mrs. Sally Cory, a new teacher in the Art Department , taught two junior high classes.

Interested seniors prepared portfolios, organizing their work primarily for scholarship applications. Serving as a representation of their capabilities, the portfolios included eight examples of work. According to Mrs. Shirley Martin, art teacher, the portfolios can also be used for job applications.

General practitioners are out, specialists are in. This has been the case in medicine for years and was true in the Physical Education Department this year. Boys' P.E. classes, concentrating on three or four sports each semester, started to , replace the conventional programs of a new sport every third week.

The courses also differed from each other as one class might have been in-

volved in football, volleyball and gymnastics, while another class was participating in speedball, handball and basketball.

Girls' P.E. underwent a change of its own when flag football was added to the fall sports program. The gymnastics unit was aided when tumbling mats and twisting belts were purchased for the school.

Service Comes From Library, IMC, Nurse

Services ranging from having opaque, overhead and film projectors ready for use, to the lighting and sound effects for assemblies and school plays were only a few of the responsibilities of the Instructional Media Center. The IMC, supervised by Mr. Tom Crockett, was used by teachers and students continually. Helping Mr. Crockett were student assistants, student teachers and a full time clerk, Mrs. Estella Detmer.

Mr. John Schere, librarian, concen-

trated on building up the number of filmstrips and filmloops for student use in the library, which was frequented by i;iver 100 people each period of the day.

The school nurse, Mrs. Mary Rodaway, spent much of her time searching for students who needed to be weighed and measured, or who had to have their hearing and vision tested. Treating fractures and back injuries, as well as colds and sore throats, became common occurrences in the routine of the school nurse.

Lunchroom, Custodial Staffs

Adjust to Growth . of School

Almost every aspect of East High this year was affected by greater enrollment. Cafeteria personnel met the demands of growth with the addition of eight new staff members. •

"Feeding more kids in the same amount of time" was one problem created by the schoot:s growth, according to Mrs. Donna Parker, lunchroom manager.

Administrative proposals for clean-u p problems in the cafeteria included temporary removal of frosties and a limitation of sandwiches and desserts.

Enrollment took its toll ·in the custodial department as well. As the number of students multiplied, student act1v1tes boomed and custodians remained on duty around the clock in order to insure a clean building daily.

Office Clerks Deal With School 'Red Tape'

Did you ever want an activity ticket, a permit for a parking sticker, to find your lost glove or to have an announcement put in the morning bulletin? If you did, there was always one place where you could go-to the office.

This year there were six office women aiding students, teachers and administrators. The office secretaries kept all club money records, ran the parent assist~nt program, kept lost and found articles, gave building permits, kept all student records, sent out senior transcripts, kept track of absences and ran the test makeup center.

Due to the large enrollment of students in English classes, second semester brought the addition of a new teacher, Mrs. Sue Merwic.

The Student Body-- Commonplace?

It's 8:20 a.m. and as I slowly make my way into the cafeteria, I encounter the familiarity that comes with each school day.

But suddenly I realize something else: As a student, I'm surrounded by more people my age than I ever will be again. Every day I'm subjected to over 1,900 students. We share classrooms, teachers and mutual experiences. Cnmmunication among us is something valuable that we alone can understand. Does this mean we are all carbon copies, or are we merely individuals united on common grounds?

Seniors: A Class United in Nam .e, Divided

THE CLASS OF 1970 was nonexistent. This grouping of people known as SENIORS tan only be viewed by and remembered as fragments and not as an entire body.

Is it possible to remember 482 students as a whole? Memories are ignited when people are singled out from the mass, people recalling the role they personally played in the school.

As an organization, seniors promoted a pancake feed, sponsored a garage sale and took part in Spirit Week. But in interviews with about 100 seniors, a great many were concerned with the disunity of their class. One senior girl said, "We have failed our own class because of prejudice among ourselves."

Other seniors felt they had been dominated by an inner core of select people who had excluded the majority of the class. Criticism that cliques were prevalent was standard. "I really don't care what THEY do, but why do I bother

East for me and it's getting scary."

Gunfi~e in a Vietnam rice paddy seemed remote. But many boys viewed the draft and Vietnam as a detour for future plans. Some realized and worried, while others showed no concern. As one girl put it, "I think that boys are pondering the draft a lot more than they are letting on."

Looking ahead, seniors wondered what kind of preparation they had received during their high school years. Was it actually possible to lay down plans for life at the age of 17?

Many decided that further education was needed. Dr Jean McGrew, principal, estimated that 75 per cent of East's students go on to college. To reach this goal , seniors had to endure hours of concentration taking entrance examinations. "Bring two sharpened No. 2 pencils. No slide rules, dictionaries or scratch paper "

Not everyone sought a college educa0 /'m ready to get out of high school and go on.,, to notice?"

To talk about cliques, however, is to use a word which is slaughtered by diverse definitions. A problem concerning cliques is intangible, and that problem which is intangible is often the most impossible to solve. Perhaps this is why the class of '70 could find no solution to its problems.

For some people, the reality of being a senior equaled their expectations. One senior boy said, "When we were sophomores we always said, 'just wait until we're seniors and we'll be great,' and now we are."

For others, anticipation overshadowed the real thing. "There really isn't anything special about being a senior except that you get out a week earlier for graduation."

On the surface, seniors became very wrapped up in school functions and personal problems while underneath, the future crept continuously. Many had the same feeling, "Next year there will be no

tion. One girl stated, "It's sad that peol!)le don't realize that there are more types of education than the University."

East seniors supported o'ther types of education by applying for admission to business and trade schools or by taking advantage of education plans offered by firms interested in furthering the education of their employees.

For the class of 1970, the past held success, pleasure and pride in school achievements. As a group, seniors had seen their school develop. Many in the class of '70 could s~y that they had actually participated in the establishment of East High.

Athletes, leaders, followers, organizers and enthusiasts of all sorts had played a role in building a school and constructing a personality.

Each person in the class of '70 will display his own amount of pride, his own amount of criticism, and will remember his own actions at East High. But no one will forget.

The polish and sparkle of victory gave students the feeling of accomplishment and belonging as the third year came to a close

Dave Little checks out facilities of the University of Nebraska in preparation for next year. Many East graduates planned to attend the U.

Class of 1971 Fosters Unity, School Pride

With only one night left and school the next day, a crew of blue-denimmed volunteers answered the urgent call for spirit. After hours of preparation, the cooperative effort achieved its resu Its: blue and white crepe paper streamers, 1 aluminum foil stars, window paintings, an "unworldly" skit; and then, a marble trophy awarded to the most outstanding class in the spirit week competition. The juniors had succeeded.

Serving as a model for incoming sophomores as well as a scapegoat for seniors, juniors abandonned the "immaturity" of tenth grade and met with the "in betweenness" of their junior year.

Despite personality and age conflicts, juniors tended to identify with seniors more often than with sophomores. "I admire seniors more than sophomoresthey're easier to associate with. Anyhow, I've known most of the seniors longer," commented one eleventh grader.

This year's junior class was "one big happy clique," according to one postgummer, sub-senior. It was a class with a

distinct personality comprised of school spirit, pride and friendliness.

One junior, commenting on what made his class unique, said, "Our class is special because it's our class."

Although no one could quite pi npoint the specific reasons for the unity among juniors, it obviously existed. Most agreed that the students themselves were the greatest unifying factor.

A majority of the students interviewed recognized the enormous potential in their class. One person felt, "We (juniors) have some of the most talented people in all areas-athletic, academic, music, art-

0 We're the best and here we come. We're the class of seven-one!"

that have ever been at East High." Even with their class pride, a number of students felt that their "unsnobbish" attitude waS- the junior class's most outstanding feature.

Dissenting factions of the junior class, although minor, made their presence known. Contrary to popular opinion, the dissenters noted that cliques and lack of pride were predominant shortcomings.

What was termed successfu I by many was considered a failure by others. And as usual, "lack of communication" was blamed for the dissension.

Boredom was of major concern to many juniors who were looking ahead to their senior year of high school. They felt that they weren't getting everything that education had to offer them.

A few were worried about grades and class rank. One girl noted, "The more active I am, the better grades I get." She went on to explain, "When you've got a lot of pressure on you, you learn how to organize your time." Most of the students, however, were thinking about college and the career they would pursue.

The sanctuary of the lunchroom offered juniors the opportunity to make plans for the remainder of the day.

Sophomores Seek Acceptance· Build Spirit

"For some ungodly reason, the seniors and ;uniors have completely erased from their oversized minds the memory of once being sophomores," one girl from the tenth grade class said, criticizing the relationship between the separate classes.

Striving for acceptance at a time when conditions for meeting new people and making new friends are prime, sophomores experienced mixed feelings when they came in contact with the upperclassmen. Some felt the seniors and juniors were friendly, and one girl said, "They're great people. I love 'em all."

Many were happy to break away from junior high, where they knew everyone. Uniting approximately 387 sophomores from four different junior highs resulted in a lost feeling during the first week. However, most of the students gladly took advantage of becoming good friends with many new individuals.

One girl marveled, "I guess junior high was a very small world. The first day at East I'd walk into a class and see few familiar faces. It was scarey. I felt as if all my friends had disintegrated."

Those who attended East during ninth

were taking courses that would contribute toward future plans.

Many expressed a new sense of freedom and responsibility. Teachers became friends, and sophomores lost their "watched over" feeling. One said, "I love the freedom. You feel like you can actually take care of yourself without teachers breathing down your neck, telling you exactly when to do what and how."

Some seemed to think that the sophomore year determined one's social status. Social attitudes were sometimes individualistic, but more often sophomores were worried about being accepted. As one girl commented, "I'm afraid we're all socially conscious to a certain extent. Sometimes it seems very important to do the right thing at the right time."

The Class of '72 sponsored a "sign-in" on an old door, later awarded as the "door prize" to senior Barry Blue. Bake sales and other projects helped build the treasury. A Sophomore Class Dance took place Feb. 27, and informal "ge.ttogethers" were planned.

Expressing their spirited attitude, one

"I finally get the feeling that I'm really

someone and

I'm able

something for my own reasons."

grade found it amusing to watch all the new kids running around. One boy grinned and said, "It's nice for a change to be able to call someone else a gummer."

Adjustments to high school life included harder homework, more activities, less time and added responsibilities. Wider · selections of electives, as well as interest clubs and specialized study halls, offered sophomores a choice of becoming more involved.

Community work was achieved through Lin-Co-Y groups, and fine arts interested some tenth graders. Young Life was also introduced and many identified with this new type of spiritual experience.

Academically, some sophomores tried to free themselves of as many required classes as possible. Others worried if they

girl said, "I think the sophomore girls possess genuine spirit, completely opposite of the sometimes manufactured spirit produced by Pep Club. The boys, however, are still in the stage of making fun of spirit."

"Spirit is like a gigantic snowball. It keeps on getting bigger as long as it rolls. The bigger it gets, the more snow it picks up and the faster it rolls. As sophomores, we've been added, and we want to show the seniors and juniors how great we think it is to be a part of East, " one sophomore noted.

Pride not only stems from sports, according to one sophomore "I wouldn't want to go to any other high school. East is where things happen." She went on to explain: "We're the ones who question present policies, and our administrators are willing to act. They listen to the

reasons for changing the grading system to allow a pass-fail basis. They're willing to help us gain an open campus. Few students have as many reasons to be proud of their school as those that go to East."

"As a sophomore, I hope our class will get involved and continue in the tradition of those before us who have made this school great," she summarized.

Junior High Faces High School Problems

Attending a school in which six foot "monsters," sophisticated senior girls, and junior high students walk down the same halls can be a trying experience.

However, most junior high students felt that there were many advantages in attending a combined junior-senior high school. "Having the senior high gives us ideas on how we should behave I th1nk we act more mature because of the senior high," were two views of junior high students.

More activities, more responsibilities, and more homework were what most junior highers felt was the result of being included in the same building as a senior

"What do you mean you have too many books to carry?" was one of the comments heard as junior high girls endured the drudgery of being a "slave." Slave Day wa s instigated to raise money for the junior high dance. The dance, which was attended by all three grades, took place Jan. 16, and centered around a "Winterwonderland" theme.

Seventh graders found that one of their greatest problems at East was "getting from class to class." Though seventh graders felt that there were a lot of changes from their elementary school, most agreed that "making the change was worth it."

from eighth grade to seventh grade, except "maybe we act a little bit better."

"At any other junior high we'd be top men-ninth graders; but here we are only climbing up from the ranks as a freshman," commented one freshman boy. Torn between loyalties, the freshmen discovered advantages qf being included. "When you're a freshman, you've finally obtained a name in this school." Freshmen exercised privileges by participating in such things as pep rallies and spirit week.

However, some felt that the high school was unwilling to accept what the ninth graders had to offer. "Our Class has

0 /'d like to identify with the senior high, but I don't think we can.

high.

The only problem which most junior high students encountered was a poor relationship with senior high students. "I really don't like being called a gummer," and "the dislike is probably equal on both sides," were some of the responses given by junior high students about their relationship with the senior high.

Junior high students were attracted to the variety of activities open to them. Such activities as Junior Red Cross, intramural sports, Y-teens, Junior High Student Council and Canteen or Nine-Hi dances offered the junior high an escape from the everyday routine.

One of the changes seventh graders enjoyed most was the addition of a study center. "I usually don't get anything done," admitted one seventh grader, "study hall is more like a recess for me." Some felt that the study hall was boring and the regulations strict.

"By the eighth grade, you're used to the school," was one of the opinions which typified that class. Some students felt that one year of experience had helped, while others felt that eighth grade was a type of mid-point, half-way in and half-way out.

Most eighth graders admitted that there really wasn't "anything different"

a lot of spirit and enthusiasm, if only people would take time to notice."

Though many freshmen complained of their position, all agreed they would attend East even if they had the option of going to another high school.

"Junior high students say they don't like it (East), but they actually love every minute of it," commented one teacher who had classes of both junior and senior high. Most junior high students agreed that junior high was a great experience, but as one ninth grader stated, "going to school with the senior high makes me more anxious to become a part of it."

Student Life

Social Life or Solitude ?

I want to belong, to be a member of a group . .. and yet, I realize that I need to attain significance by myself.

Sometimes I wonder about being typical. I enjoy saying ""w~" and nus," because they tell me I'm included as part of the whole. But · where does identity begin? Can I conform with my friends and still be the individual that I want to be?

·"/ fit in as well as anyone-for what it's worth: that's the problem now-finding out what it's worth."

Growing Pains Taint Achievements, Desires

Assuming the year of 1969-70 as a generalization is impossible, for every aspect of school life is a product of pulsating change. The extremes that existed were the result of fluctuating attitudes, habits, structure and interests.

Attitudes changed. From the optimistic sophomores' first day of high school-free from the chains of junior high-to the second-semester seniors' attitude of "Why didn't I graduate midterm?!," attitudes oscillated from sunny optimism to gloomy negativism.

Satisfied students, swept up in their own storm of happiness, rattled through the halls, leaving confusion in their wakes. Pessimists voiced resentment at the antics of those who enjoyed life. "Why should I be happy today"? asked a junior. "So what if the sun's shining? I know it'll snow tomorrow anyway."

"To us East High is a prison; to visitors it's a zoo"!

Habits changed. King's, still the postgame hangout of many die-hards, ceased to be a "must" for some Spartan boosters. Pep Club wasn't as allencompassing as in previous years; its once great influence lessened considerably Non-members were treated with as much indifference as were musclethroated Nikians. No one was put down for following his own desires-doing what he felt was right. With lessening pressure, Spartan males felt no obligation to become a prestigious "jock " "If boys aren't out for sports, that's their perrogative. They live their own lives," noted a senior boy.

Skipping study hall to go to MacDonald's for a hamburger became a widespread practice and was prevalent even among the more "respectable" studentsthose who held elective offices. One senior summ ed up the feeling when he said, "School just doesn't hold as much for me as it used to. I get bored too easily, so I skip pretty often."

Structure changed. Organizations found themselves in a turmoil when faced

with liberal ideas attacking structure. Pep Club emerged virtually unscathed through a radical revision of its constitution. Other groups devoted energy to projects designed to satisfy the demands of the student body. The student government fought the administration, student body members, and strugqled internally to further ideas deemed worthless. Frus(continued on next page)

trating decisions plagued administrators as they faced student demands of pass-fail courses and open campus for seniors. Faculty and students worked together for the causes but were deflated when the final analyses were presented. The revisions went through the various levels of the school, but when they were presented outside, there were too many obstacles to overcome, so the projects were delayed until the next year.

Frustration further increased as the brain-child of the previous year's Student Council, the unattainable student lounge, dangled above the heads of the uncompromising students. Curses fell on

"

anyone involved with the lounge: the administration, the School Board and even the architect who did not provide it in the beginning. One bright note, however, was the acceptance of random assembly seating. Regardless of anything Council did-success or failure-students remained critical.

Interests changed. The girl who used to sit by you in Algebra class wasn't as friendly as she used to be. She became a social climber. As people probed into the personalities of others, they were sometimes enlightened, but more often disappointed. Kids were interested more in themselves than others. To be accepted was a major goal.

Students realized that high school was more than just a hollow building of walls, floors and lockers. Outside activities

Indifference and Frustration

demanded much time and effort from those who were willing to give.

Three years of growth, expansion and change altered the character of East High. In the beginning, it was nothing but a spacious building with individuals rattling around the halls. Faced with innumerable obstacles and equipped with various handicaps, the Spartans rose from obscurity to an influential high school.

The institution of East Educational Complex (rah!) will continue. With such a short history, the school has conquered much from a state crown in sports to awards in journalism, debate, etc but this is just the beginning of something that will never end.

A Musical Ends

Gazing ·from center stage to the empty seats of the auditorium, a sad chill ran through me-the show was over, done, finished. Seats where 2,900 people had sat to witness "The Sound of Music" were bare, echoing my experiences . . . . I remembered try-outs when the atmosphere held a nervous, "never hurt to try" attitude, to the callback, where friends were battling friends for a certain part.

The day finally came when the cast was announced. It was a day of mixed emotions: "Great, I made it," "I got a part-not the part I wanted, but I got a part," or "I made it, I made it OH you didn't," "WOW, I'll never learn all these lines."

I recall directors shouting, "QUI ET, or I'll kick you kids out!" "Watch those stairs," "Don't clomp your feet" and "LOUDER, EMPHASIZE, the audience has got to hear you." I saw faces expressing anger, confusion, satisfaction and pride. Tensions and frustrations mounted as time grew short, with only two weeks • to go.

too long. Tomorrow was the opening. The overture began, the finale ended and the curtain came down. I thought back to all that had happened during the show: my two hour make-up call, the nuns running backstage panic stricken, shouting, "You guys, there are REAL nuns in the audience;" the crisp cracklin•g of the escape stairs as the exhausted stagecrew held them together for our exit; completely changing my clothes in less than two minutes; the painful pang of my bruises from hitting the sets in the dark; the unity we had acquired; backstage joking, laughing, crying, playing cards, eating and deciding ovations were the GREATEST reward.

I suddenly realized, as I stood there in a gypsy trance, that there were parties to go to, pancake grease make-up to take off, and a tear-soaked rose to put in water. Time stood still for eight weeks, the bubbles gone, and then life was back to normal.

Max Detweiler forsees approaching predicaments in the romance between Captain van Trapp and the Baroness Elsa Schraeder during the melody of "How Can Love Survive?"

Diversified aspects of home life are reflected in cuts from "The Sound of Music." At lower left, Captain von Trapp (Mike Gunn) takes time out of a busy day to humor his ch ildren with a round of "Do-Re-Mi." Despite strong family ties, individual members are afforded moments for personal interests and private thoughts (upper right), as Rolf (Pat Chambers) points out the advantages of being 17, going on 18 to Liesel ( Linda Bey mer). A wife for the captain, a mother of his children, completes the family as Maria (Deb Fletcher) takes her wedding vows (lower right).

Maria pauses on the stairway of the von Trapp family home as she contemplates returning to the security of the abbey.

Janice Piccolo asks, "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" as Jean Thomsen, Pam Orcutt and Dee Schmidt reconsider Maria's residence in Nonnberg Abbey.

Kohtz and Lindsey, performing early in the program, set a high standard for later acts to follow. They played many of the works of Simon and Garfunkel for the audience.

Folk and Hard Rock Form a Natural Union

Doesn't it seem a bit ironic if not paradoxical? The East High Auditorium, which every other night of the year sleeps alone, counting his bricks and chairs, suddenly, one Jan. 24, erupted with a fluid musical experience. But it has been said that a determined plant can break · through a concrete sidewalk in its climb toward the sun.

It seemed to me about Christmastime, as I reflected upon the success of Zager and Evans, who had sung at the last year's Folk and Jazz Concert, that East High had sponsored a unique function, one worth the time of the audience. I wondered if we would really let such a potential success end with its first year. Later that winter I knew the result of an established tradition: The Folk-Rock Festival.

With overtones of beat, peace, looe, harmony and profit, the stage shouted soft, desperate sounds of folk Kohtz & Lindsay and Jim Rupert, and screaming pleas for love "Music" and "Sound

Expedition."

It grew late. The sound was still coming. My ears were filled. There was an uneasy, queasy feeling in my sides. Hard rock never should be taken lightly. There were times when the electronics stepped aside for the singing of a folk or two, but only sometimes. People were leaving; thought they had heard it all: mostly before.

It was done. The glorious cadenza of pop rock was coiling its cables and smiling as it unhooked its circuits. But somehow the auditorium still looked the same. The chairs were still made of wood. People were leaving and the air still smelled as it had before; maybe a little cleaner. I remembered I had to feed the cat when I got home. I looked at the stage who had been - - lecturing all evening. It was empty-he had lost his voice. And then I wondered if he had ever really had it in the first place. I went home. He silently counted bricks.

Drama Students Accept Challen _ ge to Create

Sit quietly, listen (or at least pretend to), complete all assignments and mumble a few big words every now and then welcome to a typical high school classroom. Now, walk across the stage and into the women's dressing room where the first semester Drama 111 class met each day and spent many hours planning and rehearsing for the "Night of the Absurd." The classroom is atypical. ThE;? students were given the freedom of acting in and producing cm evening of theatre on Jan. 16.

Mr. E. Mike Dobbins and his student teachers, Miss Ellen Peterson and Mrs. Chris Salmon, chose and directed three absurdist plays: "Salutations," by Ionesco; "One Way For Another," by Tardieu; and "Humulus the Mute," by Jean Anouith and Jean Aurenche. The Drama 111 class did the rest.

Students formed and headed the costumes, lighting, properties and sound crews and also did all the acting and make-up. Posters and radio broadcasts publicizing the "Night of the Absurd" were made by th~ publicity committee and extra students were used on tl:le running crew, which cleared and reset the stage between plays.

"As I became involved with learning my lines, trying to understand the character I was portraying and working on my assigned crews, I just sort of forgot that "Night of the Absurd" was just an assign-

ment," said one of my classmates as she voiced our thoughts. We began by spending most of our time both before and after school on the stage rehearsing; but, as always, performance night was upon us too soon.

In basic black leotards and tights which were personally accessorized to emphasize our characters, we stole onto the stage and secreted ourselves behind the bleachers, whi~h were surprisingly almost full. The audience reaction was exactly as we'd hoped it would be. Absurdist plays, a theatrical innovation of the past two decades, are meant to point out the humorous and chaotic side of man's traditions. They are also to be

enjoyed. And one man's· boisterous laughter amid the crowd's slightfy more subdued chuckling assured us that at least we possessed the ability to amuse.

01,Jr plays, in true absurdist fashion, poked fun at man's inherent lack of communications and at conventional etiquette. The audience saw themselves in the actors and actresses onstage.

Between plays it was pandemonium as the running crew changed the sets and those in more than one play transformed their appearances for the next. When the last bow had been taken and the clapping had ceased, the familiar cry of "Hey, let's do it aga~n," was heard.

Christopher Columbus (Paul Ritscher) tries to explain to the audience that he was really looking for the West Indies, and that he hadn't intended to discover America.

Reality is disgusting for the contemporary (Stan Mozdzen) as the passive Olan's (Kathy Betts') mute son (Bob Peterson) dies.

Anxiously awaiting the return of war hero Wu Tsiang (John Quinn), Hwang Ti (Gerry Giraud) and Cleopatra (Emily Woodward) contemplate their future security.

'Chinese Wall': Purgatory Stimulates Agitated Impact

When you were small, did you ever lose a teddy-bear-something that was as much a part of you as the color of your eyes? You longed for that lost possession and you knew nothing would ever replace it. I lost my best friend one night in the blast of a nuclear bomb

Silent and mentally exhausted, we left Friday night, formulating opinions about the "Chinese Wall." Each was thinking of some fabulous interpretation to pour forth, surprising and impressing the others with a vast understanding of the "play-within-a-play." Yet we were uncertain of our individual intellect and ability to comprehend, as the meaning was somewhat obscure to us all.

We wanted to talk about the play but, then again, we didn't. Usually a happy group, we had just escaped from purgatory and we were unsure of our feelings. We could still hear the bull whips cracking and the endless heaving of the inmates of purgatory, directed and con -

trolled by Lucifer's hideous attendants who kindly escorted all to their seats.

Within the intimacy of the "theatre-inthe-round," the performers disclosed no signs of tension or panic when enclosed by their audience. It was impossible to physically ignore the actors; their presence demanded each and everyone's attention. Every word was heard, every grimace detected; the audience easily became emotional participants.

I suspected a portion of the 600 who attended the play during its three performances escaped purgatory without being affected. I knew some had mentally ignored the actors and made no effort to perceive the purpose or significance of such a deep form of entertainment.

The usual weekend conversation was forgotten as we started discussing the play. We all agreed that the Chinese Wall exhibited ugliness found in senseless war and destruction. Is it possible,to be aware of the past yet completely ignorant of it? The intellectual is often unable to communicate with society and is therefore ineffective. Ignorance is eternal.

Our connotation of an "all school play" was completely shattered. None of us knew anyone performing. They were actors, not the teenage students we attend the same classes with. Each executed his part so magnificently that we felt they achieved much more than a successful high school play. Admiration was followed by a feeling of pride. I was sure that parents, college students and professors had been impressed by the spectacular production.

Yet, many people I had. considered very intelligent and discerning were confused and would have preferred some- • thing easily grasped and understood. Coats were grabbed as some mistook intermission for the end. The whole evening was weird and a total shock. We were upset. We wondered if we were fooling ourselves, thinking we had derived a basic rationalization from it.

I wondered how we could talk calmly after being bombarded all evening by the superb acting of our classmates, warning us of the threat of a nuclear holocaust. Now I know that the whole evening was ironic.

Homecoming Greets Alumni; Ni_ght Becomes Happening

Early Saturday morning , after a night of exhausted rejoicing with the defeat of the Northeast football team, we hearty Pep Club girls heard our call and sleepily wandered into the East High cafeteria to decorate for a homecoming celebration

Complete with tired bodies, out-offocused eyes, jeans covered with paint from the "festival at the bridge," grubby t-shirts and rollers in our hair, we prepared for "Return of the Spartans 1969." The sight was one of organized confusion: girls on ladders hanging crepe paper from every conceivable spot, the assemblage of the throne with the help of a few daring boys, getting the refreshment table set up and filling the courtyard pond with water.

When I returned at night the scene was one of dark elegance as 500 past and present students danced to the sounds of "The Music." I had the eerie sensation that I wasn't in the cafeteria but in a ballroom. "Psyched-up," happy f)eople were dancing in the dark room with the only illumination coming from the band's

flashing strobe lights.

In the courtyard, water was flowing through the statue fountain with wh~te and yellow flowers floating on top that added to the breezy peacefulness of the cool September night.

I found myself thinking about ancient Greece I saw the columns on the throne, girls dressed in togas serving punch and cake and the atmosphere of the courtyard. I even imagined Dionysus lurking in the grapes around the punch fountain.

The evening was climaxed with the announcement of the royalty, Pat Gibbons and Wally Swanson. The couple was crowned by last year's king and queen, Lynn McKee and Kristi Maser.

SAD1E

HAWKINS

Classes were conducted as usual on that sunny Friday afternoon in March when suddenly, the cafeteria was mysteriously sealed off from the student body. What plot was being hatched behind those closed doors? A student demonstrc:ition? A faculty demonstration? The end of Ban Man? These questions were soon answered, as the doors reopened at 8:30 that night to welcome a host of students into the world of Dogpatch and the third annual Sadie Hawkins Dance.

Over 200 couples rocked out t~ the sounds of "Richmond Brown and the Blues Band" at the annual Student Council sponsored stable stomp. Amidst the wild flurry of bib overalls and hobnail boots, the most original costumes were sported by Redge Johnson and Barb Fischbach, who were awarded the coveted titles of Moonshine King and Queen.

Dodging the laund~y, couples were obliged to pass under a clothesline when entering the cafeteria. Instead of crepe paper, toilet paper was draped across the beams and enhanced the refreshment table.

Equipped with all of the latest developments in modern technology, the traditional outhouse offered a variety of suggestions for those in distress. Sawdust created the illusion of a hay covered barn floor, and if that wasn't enough, a barn, complete with · horses and chickens, was painted on a window.

Sagging streamers, wilted daisies and aching feet signaled the climax of another turnabout. The gay tone of the evening

spilled out into the parking lot and accompanied party and homeward bound students to their destinations.

SENIOR BALL

Following in the footsteps of last year's senior class, the class of '70 kicked off the school year by initiating fund raising projects to finance the Senior Ball. Because the event was not school sanctioned, a garage sale and pancake feed were conducted by individual students on their own initiative

Proceeds and efforts finally fused at 8 p.m., Jan. 17, when over half Of the · senior class gathered at the Elks "Club for the second annual Senior Ball. The sounds of "The Collections" echoed throughout the second floor of the lodge for three hours, much to the dismay of club members who were dining there.

CHILI FEED

Chili warmed the frames of those who had weathered the driving snow and frigid temperatures for the Student Councilsponsored Chili Feed on Feb. 12. Preceding the Grand Island basketball game, chili, coke and a choice of either cake or pie were served from 4:30 to 7:00 in the cafeteria.

The snow took its toll, however, as over 13 gallons of chili were left after the last booster had departed for the game. Plans for selling the remainder for $1 per gallon fell through when the chili was later reported missing. While visions of profits had danced through the heads of Student Council members, thoughts of spoilage had concerned cafeteria personnel, who had disposed of the chili before a sales campaign had materialized.

Student Council members serve chile to an anxious Spartan crovvd awaiting their game with Hastings.

Discarded Dresses Exchanged for Gowns

With a steady pitter-patter on the roof, two little girls were pondering their immediate plans for the afternoon:

"Ya know sumpun'? My mommy has lots of pretty dresses she lets me wear."

"So does my mommy. Only mine are real long and full-you should see me twirl 'round. I'm bee-utiful."

Little girls grow up. Soon they're not begging their mothers for discarded dresses and shoes for play clothes. Instead, after an invitation, each begs for a distinctive formal to attend a "Once in a Lifetime" experience, the Prom.

One junior girl was excited aboug the event because she's never had a long dress before and her date was a special person. "You have to get out of jeans and act like a lady-and dinner-I'm scared to death."

Many males, however, tended to view the function realistically. "Yes, I'm going to the Prom," one senior admitted, "and I'm going bankrupt because of it. I'd rather watch a baseball or hockey game."

Occurring throughout the country every spring, proms are nothing new. Tradition forces. the junior class to "throw a bash" for the deserving seniors. Juniors work to build a treasury which quickly dwindles with the cost of the"Music" combo and other essentials for a "Once in a Lifetime" atmosphere.

One junior was concerned about the early date, April 18, as it defeated the purpose of the Prom. She felt the event should serve as one last time for the seniors to get together.

Some considered the Prom an entirely social event where all the girls utter, "Oh,

I love your dress-where'd you get it"? and the boys complain, "This collar itches-what time is it"?

East has few dances, however, and many felt the "pre-dance rituals" served as a form of social acceptance until the couple arrived. Then you have fun and freak out, regardless of the stiff and uncomfortable feeling of formal clothes.

Some boys who rarely date were afraid that they might make a "bad investment." With an invitation a month in advance, the possibility of hating the girl by the night of the Prom resulted in an uneasy feeling. They felt it was risky to spend the money on a date for a girl they hardly knew. Therefore, most males waited until one or two weeks before the "big date."

Junior boys, particularly, were noted for not dating. One junior girl explained, "The junior class is like one big happy family. Everyone goes out in groups. A bunch of girls and guys gQ to shows and Pioneers-just mess around together."

Both sexes described their expectations of the "perfect night." After a "yearly bath," dinner would be interrupted by the older generation's stares and whispers, "Aren't they cute"? The • night would be calm and filled with the moon. The candles floating in the pond and the park benches in the courtyard would create a dreamy, romantic effect.

Few thought of disastrous possibilities. Illness was ignored. Even an untimely act of clumsiness resulting in a stained tux was somewhat forgotten. And rain? That possibility seemed nonexistant.

"Students are demanding this rather than asking for it-that's disrespect. "

-Sidnee Abrahams

"The Student Responsibility Act contained a lot of good points. If points like these are recognized by the present school system it might force students to take more responsibility and to be more active in decisions concerning the administration of their future. The way it was presented to students and faculty might have been the reason why it wasn't as well received as could have been expected."

"If 17-year-olds can go around and say they know what's good for them, then why are they in school?"

-Miss Rose Marie Tandi

"I think it is a healthy sign-we have some complainers who are willing to actively do something to change the status quo. The faculty feels it is giving up some of its authority-but why is the faculty here? It is a school for students not an institution to keep middle class adults off the streets!"

-Mrs. Linda Freeman

"This movement has created among some faculty members an awareness of the extreme thoughts of some of the students. This awareness isn't necessarily negative in all cases. Some of those more extreme student thoughts may be positive and some may be negative to a person's way of. thinking."

Student Responsibility ACt Arouses Opp0sing Factions

In 1791 Congress adopted the Bill of Rights as amendments to the Constitution to outline the basic freedoms of the citizens of the United States. In March of 1970 another expression of rights was composed at East. Written by seniors Gerry Giraud, Bill Lyons, Wayne Kubicek, John Kelly and Forrest McMichael, the Student Responsibility Act was endorsed by Student Council and signed by more than 800 students "It all began during the dispute over the abolition of Student Council," stated Gerry. "A few p~ople started thinking about the controls the students at East

'The problem with the Responsibility Act is that adults are not willing to accept that someone 10 years younger could have insight into problems."

-Tom Paulson actually have. We decided that they are minimal and that students have a right to help determine the way of things here," he added.

Thus, the Student Responsibility Act claimed the rights of ~tudents to unrestricted political activity, due process during disciplinary action, an increased voice in school affairs and the right of independent progression.

During the spring months it was one of the prime topics of discussion. Student opinions varied from "Who cares, so why try?" to "What a joke!" to "This is the most far-reaching, important thing that's ever happened at East." Faculty views were heated and frequent, • and basic questions arose: "How much power and responsibility should students have?" "Is this a positive sign or do students need tighter controls?"

After being previewed by the faculty, its composers took the act into negotiations with the Faculty Advisory Committee, the faculty's representative group. The negotiation sessions took place almost nightly for several weeks, and when they were over Dr. McGrew promised, "If they (the faculty and Student Council)

pass it, I 'II personally take it to Superintendent Prasch and the School Board. They'll determine what we legally can and cannot do." "At first I thought it was just a few students caught up in a sickness of trying to find things to change," Dr. McGrew said. "I knew that about onehalf of the proposals were illegal or impossible in its original form. But both the faculty and the students have made compromises, and the kids are now trying to operate within the legal channels of change," he said.

"It seems like over half of the students really care about the Student Responsi"I think there is a small minority (of students) for it. If the issue were really hot, more kids would have come out of study hall to talk and listen."

-Miss Rose Marie Tandi bility Act," Gerry said, "but of that 50 or 60 per cent, 95 per cent are willing only to sit back and watch us do the work. If 1,200 stu(jents were working with us, it would have gone through channels much faster. As it now stands the language isn't strong enough. The faculty and Or. McGrew worded it diplomatically. We shouldn't worry so much about diplomacy, rather about what the petition says."

If any conclusive action is to come of th is movement it needs proponents to push the issue, opponents to compromise the issue, and citizens (students and teachers) to practice the issue. And like so many inspirations time will serve as the final testing ground.

If the spark which fostered this movement is of proven value, then it will exist next year and the year after and the year after. Light and transient causes are buried as time passes. There needs to be someone to carry through the initiatives taken this year. Perhaps this ultimate responsibility will evolve upon the very organization whose inefficiency allegedly engendered its beginnings, the Student Council.

"So many of their (students') demands are so flat, so blanket. I'm at the age where I'm 100 per cent caught between the establishment and the new youth movemel'ltsomewhat of an incubation stage."

-Mrs. Ann Barry

"If we got a new administration and they were not quite as liberal as Dr. McGrew, then if we didn't have anything written down they could do anything they wanted to. That kind of convinced me maybe we better have it written on paper. "

-Jim Hayes

"Education is not an enjoyable process. But we need it to face society and live in society. RebellinjJ really has no good educational purpose. It'll probably do more , harm · than good. "

-Sidnee Abrahams

"I guess you could say I'm kind of for it, but kind of against it, too. I think it's ridiculous to demand things when we've got a pretty liberal school anyway. We've got all the rights we need and I think the majority o( East High is happy."

I -Judy Petersen

"As I saw it in its rough form I was totally opposed to the thing. I feel a little more comfortable with it now that it has been rewritten and redefined, although there're a couple of points that I just can't bring myself to agree with. I think this thing can become enormously out of hand. Along with rights come responsibilities. I think if we have the rights nailed down we've got to have the responsibilities nailed down, too. There are some responsibilities that the students must assume."

'Freedom Generation Denies Ancient __ Adage

"When was your age I had to work hard for everything I had and I earned a sense of responsibility as well as a living." And so reads the ancient family proverb. Things were a little rougher for our parents when they were our age and were living life with wild abandon. Because of their disadvantages we've all, I'm sure, been accosted on at least one occasion for "taking advantage" of the more lenient privileges and the finer material things that we find commonplace. More spending of money, cars, and slightly later curfew hours, I've been told, are coddling us, while at the same time robbing us of our sense of responsibility. Can this be so? I was under the impression that young people still work,

Dismal weather doesn't seem to dampen the zeal of anti-Vietnam War protestors who turned out for the Oct 15 moratorium. Many East High students wore black arm bands in sympathy with the protestors, and a number of students joined the activities on the steps of the statehouse.

Town Halls, described by some as "student gripe sessions," employed a class recorder as a mediator between concerned st udents and the administrators at East, who were more than willing to listen.

demonstrations are "pooh-poohed" and the questing spirit of youth is often ignored, the real meaning of responsibility-caring deeply what becomes of our world and accepting the challenge to improve it-may also go unrecognized.

Early last autumn the first official war moratorium was held on the University of Nebraska Campus and at the State Capitol. Though strictly forbidden to attend the speeches and the march during school time, many East High students solemnly marched -through the rain and the cold. Was it merely di so bed ience for disobedience's sake? "We weren't marching against the administration, or the rules at East, or even the older generation who got us into the war. We were marching for peace," said an East High

senior boy.

Another, though somewhat dubious example of the responsibilities and the responsiveness of the students at East was the day Governor Norbert Tiemann came to speak. Some listened thoughtfully, some criticized rather rudely, some asked questions and others voiced valid opinions. Unfortunately, only the unbecoming student reactions to the Governor's words were best remembered.

Other students were active members of such organizations as the Teenage Republicans (TARS) and Democrats (TADS) clubs. By helping during the elections and by listening to differing speakers and politica l opinions, many (continued on next page)

young Americans gained an insight to the governmental machinery. Even though the voting age was still two or more years away for most East High students, some, through their political interests, attempted to prove that they cared.

Even running for office in the more structured traditions such as Student Council and class officer elections pointed out the students' need for quality in their own school government. Girls' and Boys' State and the Presidential Classroom, which is a study of National • Government held in Washington, D.C., also expressed a growing student desire to be involved in government and the adult world.

Earliest man possessed a certain curiosity about that which he did not understand. At the same time he tried to improve his envir'6nme~t-(to build a better wheel)-which is the same goal that East High students strived to achieve.

There has and hopefully always will be

"How can I be me when I'm always lost in the crowd'?

a reason to alter or improve the status quo. "Just because today's standards of living force us to get an ~ducation, doesn't mean that the word 'school' must be synonymous with 'boredom' and 'nonmotivation.' There has to be a better way of learning,'' philosophized a junior girl.

In comparing the high schools of 20, or even 10 years ago with a modern school such as East High, an overwhelming change was obvious. "This year, for the first time, my teachers and the administration don't scare me," said a sophomore girl. A gradual understanding between teachers and the administration and students has been growing and has

finally bloomed with the arrival of a freer school system, unlike the regimental systems of former years.

Though still a "system," students have been free to wear the type of clothing they like, to select their studies from a larger and more varied curriculum and to broaden or encourage their interests through independent study projects. Work passes offered a glimpse of the world of business, while Town Hall meetings encouraged students to voice their views and criticisms to the administration and hope for answers.

All of these privileges and freedoms naturally helped to create a more relaxed atmosphere. By releasing some of the pressures and anxieties normally associated with school life, more importance was placed on personal creativity and initiative. Students were partially responsible for budgeting their time while working at their own speed.

With the passage of time, dreams of open campus, modular scheduling and complete choice of studies may become realities. A senior girl summed up her hopes for the future by saying, "Freer schools like East are the best because they give the students a choice. We can choose to merely "educate" ourselves and be spoon-fed or to "learn" and move on to bigger things."

Walking up from the parking lot on a cold morning, many girls agree that unisex fashions are not only fun, but functional as well.

Clubs Promp t Divided Views

"Pep Club members, remember

How many times have you heard o r neglected to hear daily announcement s such as these? Often• you find yoursel f obligated to two or more organizations at the same time; so how do you decid e which to attend? What makes one club more important than another?

"Nothing you invest your time in is a waste.,,

If a club's purpose is to provide "satisfaction for the individual," as one senior suggested, then surely there is a goal behind the club's existence. After a ~ross section of students at East were interviewed, there appeared a noticeable split in attitudes toward organizations.

One large group of students agreed that "interest has dropped" within the last three years. The other side felt "in three years we have increased interest. "

"The school doesn't have the leaders this year that they did before," was a senior boy's answer to why some of East's activities failed to get off the ground. Another junior felt that a person misses out on "learning to get along with people and learning to work together" if he doesn't belong to a club.

There are many reasons for joining a

club. A new student at East said she joined this year because she "felt left out and thought she could get to know more students." Some cluos received members because of social pressure, others for prestige.

Students even· joined clubs for su ch reasons as "everybody else joined," or "all my friends are in it." One junior boy _ observed that the "clubs with the largest number of the school's population" were the most successful.

"It takes all kinds of people to make a club," observed Shelley Reagan, senior. It takes the conservative doers and the loud, obnoxious talkers. It also takes the halfway-in-between average people who provide the support and backing.

The "leader" in a club doesn't necessaril y have to be t_.he president. He mc!IY be the one who pulled through when no one showed up for the committee meeting, and no one helped decorate. He organized

all the activities, and the club members sighed, "We sure worked hard, didn't we"?

"Responsibility, imagin~tion and an ability to work with others," is all a leader needs, according to junior Terri Logsdon. But a president needs "help," as well-help from the leaders, the organizers and the supporting members, all of whom take active parts in their club.

This year's graduating class contained the three-year charter members. These were the people who helped to establish and build present clubs.

As we look back we'll remember the sophomore, who was so enthusiastic and full of pep, ready to jump in and work on anything; the junior, whose willingness slowly depreciated, but still had a spark of enthusiasm; and the senior who would "love to help, but was awfully busy right now."

·Council Confronts Criticism

I n Effort To

Help Students

This was a year of successes and frustrations for Student Council. They succeeded in naming a fight song, but were criticized for not getting a student lounge. They revised study center procedures, including random seating and roll taking, and music over the intercom; but practically nobody noticed.

Town Hall meetings were conducted in hopes of soliciting students' suggestions, and the action taken on these ideas, as well as the results, were posted in the cafeteria. Most students didn't take time to read them, and assumed that nothing had been done.

Attempts were made to interest students in school government, but they failed. Students were quick to criticize, but only a few came to the Council meetings, which were open to all. Junior Council member Perry Rickli commented on the representatives of the Students for Radical Change who came to one meeting: "I didn't like what they talked about, but I'm glad they came."

The Council was labeled "ineffective'' by a majority of the student body, but sponsor Mr. Larry Rogers commented on the Council, "They're not in a position to make decisions." Before a resolution was passed, it had to go through the administration and school board.

Jean Bates, senior Council member, said that "When we take on a project, we go as far as we can. Some are rejected, but we can't dwell on the impossible."

Jean also made the point that some Council members were at fault.

She said, "I get depressed. think every club has to get excited about something, and it just isn't there." Some members were active and interested at the meetings, some talked, some slept and a few didn't show up at all.

Sponsor Mr. Paul Guidry said, "At the beginning of the year, the goal of Student Council was to develop better communications between students and faculty. Council hasn't reached up to a lot of expectations, even their own."

"'You get as much or more out of something according to what you put into it."

Among Council's accomplishments was a successful drive to get a school fight song. Junior Jerry Baster's "Hail to the Spartans" was chosen from three songs presented at a song rally.

Group Dynamics demonstrates to student participants the steps that lead to successful group work by actual experiments in each phase. The session was sponsored by Student Council.

Epic Ambition : Sensing Student Psychology

"Starlight, star bright, I wish I didn't have to stay late another night!"

This is what might have been heard, as annual staff members left East High at the conclusion of a deadline night. It wasn't uncommon for any Epic staff member to be going home after the sun went down and the moon had come out.

"We're 'quoting' the year," summarized Epic Editor Eric Nye when asked to comment on the new aspects of the yearbook. The individual, his feelings and his desires were emphasized in student and teacher quotes.

A hard working staff often grew tired after a long day, but occasional breaks helped to revive them. The printer was quite accustomed to pizza crumbs on copy and coke rings on the back of layout sheets. And if you happened to walk by B-159 some evening, you probably heard laughter echoing from the interior. Staff members combined their efforts to produce their best, with a minimum of frivolity.

Nebraska High School Press Association's first place trophy was awarded to last year's Epic, at the 38th annual convention. This year's staff was able to accept it and display it to the school.

INTERNATIONAL CLUB

"What's on your calendar for tonight"?

"Mum's the word." Flower-making for the traditional East High "holiday away from noise" required much chatter and planning prior to the eventful day.

Club members participated in the competitiv·e King's Food Host ticket sale and enjoyed East's AFS students who shared their countries' customs and ideas. Ticket sales raised money for future AFS students.

A first this year was the combination of the East High and Lincoln High International Club Christmas parties.

GERMAN CLUB

German Club, according to sponsor Mr. Ben Vrana, aimed to "promote friendships among different nationalities." The meetings were very informal and held at irregular intervals.

Among the club's activities were two soccer games between German Club and Spanish Club, with German Club losing one game and tying one.

Mr. Hans Gilde was a guest speaker who showed slides of East and West Berlin and told of life in the divided German country.

Spring plans included a lecture by the German foreign exchange student from Lincoln High and a film about the Third Reich in wartime Nazi Germany.

SPANISH CLUB

Spanish Club's biggest activity was a trip to the fall convention of the Nebraska Association of Spanish Clubs, at Creighton University in Omaha. Junior member Debbie Taylor served as publicity chairman for the association.

Members at the school meetings sang in Spanish and made occasional trips to a restaurant with authentic Mexican food.

Spanish Club also participated in the Lincoln Council of Youth's All-City talent show, where they sang "The Girl from lpanema" and "Aquarius" in Spanish. Another activity was a roller skating party for the whole school.

Flowers for Mum's Day will be the end result of this creative International Club meeting.

Active Schedule Mirrors Successful Future

If the events of the past year indicate anything of what lies ahead, the Math, Science and Chess Clubs are destined to have a busy fu_t_u_r_e.___

MATH CLUB

This year's Math Club toured a local Burroughs computer installation to complement a pair of earlier talks by one of the field representatives. The group also

coordinated two five-man teams and sent them to a math field day in Ralston.

SCIENCE CLUB

The Science Club offered the school an inside look at glass blowing as they brought Mr. Lloyd Moore, a glass blower, to one of their meetings. During the demonstration, he made a variety of objects and later sold them to the congregation.

CHESS CLUB

The Chess Club continued battling the other city chess clubs this year, and for the first time took wins over.all of them. The improvement was partially credited to the U.S. Open Chess Tournament in Lincoln, during August. Three club members played in the tourney, while other members helped run .the demonstration board~.

Musk originating from the concession area was a sign that East High's bookstore had arrived. The Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) initiated the school bookstore idea and carried out its plan with the selling of paperbacks, "Cliff's Notes" and East High bookcovers.

Scottsbluff, Nebr., was the site of the state~wide conference, with East's Pat Weesner elected as state treasurer.

A regional conference, including 1-3 states, held a three-day convention at the Nebraska Center in November , and the national OECA conference was in Minneapolis in April.

BUSINESS CLUB

If East High is any indication, the business world of the future will contain many women. Business Club was an

all-girl organization this year.

The goal of this group is to "give girls an idea of what to expect in business, and help members choose what courses to take in high school," according to club president Jewell Metcalf. Speakers and activities were designed to appeal to the feminine members, especially those who wanted to become secretaries.

Guests at the 8 a.m. meetings included a buyer from a local department store who spoke about secretarial apparel, and a secretary who talked of her job with an insurance company.

Victory pillows of blue and white felt were sewn and sold by the members as a money-making project. Plans were made to make and sell paper flowers at the Student Council cart1ival. It was also decided that a traveling trophy for the outstanding Business Club member be awarded, starting a new tradition.

ART CLUB

There are some things yet to be created in the world of art, and the displaying of artistic creations is becoming more fascinating all the time.

This year's Art Club innovated the traveling art cart. Plastic flowers, stretched bottles and unique jewelry were among the items made by the club during weekly workshops.

The members sold the art objects in the halls before and after school. The proceeds from this and other moneymaking projects helped send interested club members to Europe to study art for six weeks during the summer.

Observing a teacher for a day, giving valentines to all faculty members and hearing speakers on teacher education were a few activities of the Future Teachers of America (FTA).

Future Teachers, now an officially

chartered club, started out rast year with a membership of only four. However, having the required number of 10 members this year, F~A expanded and was able to have greater participation in school activities.

CREATIVE WRITING CLUB

Creative Writing Club (CWC) compiled its third printed literary publication, "The East Winds," this year. More illustrations were included and subscriptions were sold in advance.

The club initiated bake sales for teachers at faculty meetings, and CWC members sold concessions for the first time.

Teaching and its many aspects is the topic of Dr. Jean McGrew's discussions with the FT A.

During a season stretching from November to March, the debaters learned to show that there are two sides to every issue. "We stress that students learn how to think logically and critically," stressed Mrs. Linda Freeman, debate coach.

DRAMA CLUB

The flurry of backstage work on opening night introduced Drama Club members to the world of the stage. Acting and presentation techniques, as well as behind the scenes action were stressed at club meetings.

Hollywood Arrives at East Through Historical Movies

Of all the visitors at East High this year, perh aps the one attracting the most attention was "King Kong." This film was one of many shown by History Club, and the entire student body could attend for an admission fee.

Sponsors Mr. Richard McGowan and Mr. Larry Rogers collaborated to start History Club partially because of their interest in films. They recognized the value of Hollywood movies to -American History students and ordered movies that would correlate with history classroom studies.

Numbering between 25 and 30, the members were divided into two committees: one for advertising, slogans and ideas, the other for providing guest

speakers.

A movie was shown about bi-monthly, and at meetings following the movies, errors in the historical events portrayed were discussed.

Although "King Kong" was shown purely for enjoyment, other movies were shown for their historical significance, such as "Captain Blood" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." The latter was a surprise to all, when it proved to be the silent film version.

After selling concessions at the AllState Swim Meet and other money-raising endeavors, the club members hoped to either make their own video-taping in color or to take a club trip.

The mood of the year was expressedas a flutist or trumpeteer or drummerthrough the mus i c of East H igh's I nstrumental music organizations.

The Orchestra participated in the Orchestra Fest i val at Pershing Auditorium on March 20. The festival was directed by Dr. Louis Trczinski. Stage Band discovered public appearances were often

very demanding and time consuming. Their appearances included playing at J. F. Kennedy College, The Sertoma Club's Pancake feed, a television program on Channel 10, and assemblies at East. Stage Band consisted of 21 regular members, with four augmenting the group.

This year's Pep Band received the honor of being the first to sound the school song. Playing at all the games and rallies, the band remained busy trying to keep up with the crowds. Referring to early practices, one member said, "If you have any frustrations early in the morning you can hon~ real loud."

Adding motion to Pep Band's peppy music were the Spartan Majorettes. Their year began with twirling for the Big Red Kick-Off Banquet in the fall. There were six Spartan Majorettes and three reserves. They practiced once a week or more when there was a performance near. Candy and doughnut sales helped finance costumes and other needs. Tryouts for new majorettes were held in May following several vJeeks of pre-tryout practicing.

All the groups were "reflecting more spirit and enthusiasm, as pride in the department increased," noted Mr. Richard Kucera, instrumental music director.

Enthusiasm and Pride Tie Singers 1ogether

Did you ever notice how East Singersthose 90 kids in Mr. Peterson's fourth period vocal class-liked to be together this year?

The unifying force behind East Singers was Mr. Jon Peterson, vocal director, who "really developed a lot of pride in Singers," according to one of its members.

One of East Singers' biggest joint efforts was the musical production, "The Sound of Music." Lots of hard work, late hours and neglected homework went into play rehearsals. Also contributing their talents were the home economics, drama and instrumental departments.

Other activities included Christmas caroling, concerts, school assemblies and a bus trip to Kansas State University in

Manhattan, Kan.

Swing Choir was really swinging, with more invitations to perform for business and civic organizations than they were able to accept. The mission of the 16 member group, chosen by auditions from East Singers, was that of a public relations agent from East High. Swing Choir also gave its members a chance to sing

music other than what was sung in class. Going "professional" for an afternoon, Swing Choir joined the Stage Band in an hour television performance on KOLNKG IN TV. Hoping tp create a favorable attitude toward East High, Mr. Peterson noted that the program was a first, and that other Lincoln high schools were to follow suit.

Day Camp$ and Conventions Greet Key Club Delegates

An average observer might imagine Key Club to be composed only of those who are intelligent and concerned merely with civic services and accomplishmentsthe stalwarts of the community. For the benefit of the unaware observer the truth will be revealed.

As many may ~call, the civic-minded fellows were resp~nsible for the car bash, and the winding up of tricycles for that momentous race, the Key Club 500. And refreshments? Do these men, these leaders of the next generation indulge in such delicacies? Mais oui !

On the serious·side, Key Club painted curb signs and worked with the Lincoln Action Program in their day camp during the summer. To East High they contributed the EAST HIGH SCHOOL sign and led lost, lowly spectators to their seats at all East High school productions. Spring brought "Spartan Spectacular!" auditions, and the final performance. Forever remembered in the minds of the members who attended Key Club Interna tional, in Miami last July is the incident known as the "1 :24 Flush."

In the "land of the outstretched palm" it was 1 : 23 a.m. and there wasn't a sound from any of the four hotels in Miami

where Key Club members were staying, waiting. Then it came, that voice out of the boob tube, "It is now 1:24 a.m." FLUSH! (went the toilets). And next morning to the shock and surprise of many of these young, dedicated gentlemen the sewer system had been busted.

PAC Pits Girls in Powder- Puff Showdown

Boys clad in skirts and consp icuously petite football players attracted "record breaking crowds" at the Panathenaic Council-sponsored powder puff football game this year. The game gave senior and junior girls a chance to prove their athletic ability, and the boys displayed their talents as cheerleaders and Nik i ans.

Greek melodramas, Spartan Olympics, honor and vocal assemblies and Senior Day were among the festivities on the five day agenda for Panathenaea. May 18 to 22 marked the traditional spring event.

Assuming the responsibility of a service organization, the council helped with the parent open house and with the handing out of student schedules Report card time was sweetened by nectar and ambrosia sales.

Girls Shape Up in Gymnastics, Swim Team

GIRLS' GYMNASTICS CLUB

More than likely, the members of the Girls' Gymnastic Club were in training as long as or longer than any other team at East High. For two months in the fall, each girl worked on her routine in either vaulting, trampoline, tumbling, free exercise, unevens or balance beam. At the end of the second month the girls had to perform for the clt2b sponsor, Miss Carol French, and for the officers.

Members who were accepted on the basis of the tryouts spent the next four months practicing. It wasn't until February that they entered into dual meet competition with the other Lincoln public high schools, and the city-wide meet was in March.

Miss French said that this year there was an attempt made to "branch out"for each girl to work in her best' areas, but also to try new skills. Although the girls tended to enter into competition only in the areas in which they felt most confident, the new system was designed to "create a more rounded athlete by realizing more than one talent."

GIRLS' SWIM TEAM

Along with GirJs' Gymnastics Club, Miss French was busy coaching the Girls' Competitive Swim Team. The club was organized for those girls interested in

competitive swimming, but it was also a way to get in shape, and many girls joined for a combination of both reasons.

Two inter-school meets were held, both with Southeast, with one victory and one tie for the Spartan team. In addition, one inter -squad meet was held between the girls in the club. East and Southeast were the only high schools

with girls' swim teams, but it was hoped that the program would expand to include Northeast and Lincoln High.

According to Dee Schmidt, captain, the practices were more organized, but the girls could have used more time in the pool. Two one-hour practices were held each week, but the pool had to be shared with the boys' swim team.

Sophomore Jenny Carey grimaces as she hears the results of a teammate while waiting to swim in a meet with Southeast girl swimmers.

'Wild' Wi Id' Wet' Dollf ins Perform Autumn Water Sho

Wet suits, zipping and tying. Wet suits, unzipping, untying and drying. These simple actions, done a million times, were part of the "behind the scenes" Doll-fins' "Wild, Wild, Wet" synchronized swim show.

Acts were created with the Wild, Wild Wet theme in mind. Songs such as "Keem-o-sabe," "Lovin' Things" and "Hawaii Five-O" all worked into the scene.

Unusual effects were the gimmick of some of the acts such as "Apache," where the swimmers wore bells on their fingers and bells on their toes and you could "hear 'em coming'." "Fire!" required the use of dry ice to -create an illusion of smoke rising across the water.

A duet to "Mission Impossible" and a trio to "Windmills of Your Mind" were two of the individual numbers. Male members of East Guard swam with Dollfins to the tune of-what else? "Buttons and Bows."

Recruited emcees Jim Hayes an d Randy Beam kept a steady pace betwee n acts, allowing the girls additional time t o get ready.

Judy Petersen concocted a way to use 7-UP bottles, balloons and paper flower s as scenery to supplement the "First in th e City" use of slides as a background. Mis s Carol French was behind the girls to hel p and give advice.

"I could feel the spot on me and I thought, oh God, here they come." An d then there were flowers for this year' s soloist and president, Kris Bottum.

A direct result of the Doll-fin production was the forming of two cliques : the "Big Five" and the "Bod Squad."

As the last girl slid into the water an d swam into place to form the L E of th e finale, there was a feeling of relief as another show was completed.

East Guard Drafts Females for Active -- Duty

Seeing a girl decked out in grubbies and scurrying around the pool was not an unusual sight at swim meets. In fact, it was all in the line of duty for the female members of East Guard, who helped with "mechanical aspects" of swim meets, such as timing and recording.

Other services were performed by the club as a whole. Wednesday nights were devoted to teaching retarded children how to swim. The sessions, which were initiated by last year's club, were continued at Wesleyan University.

New projects and parties were the main discussion topics at bi-weekly meetings. Leadership responsibilities were shifted at the beginning of second semester as new officers were elected. A wate r show featuring comedy spoofs was East Guard's contribution to Panathenaea.

Yells, Ropes and Programs Unite E- Club's School Spirit

What organization sells programs at athletic events, sponsors banquets, holds ropes AND yells (original) cheers at the refs and opposing teams.? It's E-Club!

E-Club is "designed to promote the athlete and athletics" commented one member. In return, E-Club members have contributed to East. Money received from program sales was spent for two video tapes given to the athletic department to be used for taping games.

E-Club and Pep Club united to treat orphans from Cedars and White Hall to a home basketball game.

Yell Squad Cheers to Tune of 'Victory'

Sprained ankles, a broken fifth metatarsal, hoarse voices, sore throats and tired muscles are a part of the excitement of cheerleading.

An early morning breakfast last spring announced this year's 10 varsity cheerleaders.

Clinic brought lots of practice and rewards. At the end of the competitive week, both the varsity and reserve squads were nominated along with two other squads from the state for the Coca Cola Award. The week's climax came when East High's reserves won this award.

One aspect of cheerleading was the Monday night meetings to iron out problems and discuss crowd psychology. One cheerleader noted, "You learn to give a little."

Sponsored by Mrs. Dorothy Schafer, the varsity cheerleaders' chairman was Patti Weesner and Mary Copple was secretary. Terri Sch laebitz was the reserve's chairman.

This year's tryouts were held Apr. 1 after three weeks of two-night practice sessions. The finals were Apr. 3.

How did the cheerleaders feel about their job this year? There were sometimes hard feelings, just as in any other organization. One comment was that "some people ·make it more than it is." Another girl commented, "As Coach Forch would say, there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians." Cheerleading takes time and precise organization and it's a "great experience."

Varisty and reserve cheerleaders did extra little things for their teams. They designed and hung house signs and made or bought small gifts for team members and coaches.

• Memories? Millions, such as "when we finally decided permanently on our outfits" "Homecoming when we beat Northeast" , "Districts" "A great Year"!

Ir Rallies, Games, Decorating Create' Memories Collage'

Caravans of cars spilling over with kids and enthusiasm pizza and cokes and lots of chatter at pre-game dinners the fantastic feeling of just squeaking past a tough rival in the last few seconds of a basketball game, and the inevitable sore throats that followed making signs, signs and more signs standing in the spirit line outside the locker room door when • the blue and white armor-clad football players come charging out selling candy sitting through meetings and thinking that they would never get over pep rallies

All these bits and pieces merge to form a memory collage for Nikian members

There were lots of changes this year. Pep Club became a thing of the past. The old Pep Club, in keeping with Spartan tradition, was re-christened "Nikians," in honor of the Greek goddess of victory.

New uniforms were chosen, to the delight of the girls, if not to the fathers who paid for them.

Merits and demerits gave way to the service point system. Members were given points for games attended and other activities, but no points were taken away

for missing an event. A certain number of service points was needed to earn activity points.

"Hail to the Spartans," the new fight song, was enthusiastically accepted and sung over and over at games and pep rallies.

Keeping tabs on such a large group was no easy task. The responsibility of organizing the 250 junior and senior girls was divided among five sponsors, four officers, 22 squad leaders who kept track of service points and did pompon routines at the games and six committee chairmen who planned rallies, sold concessions, made signs and the Spartan arc, raised money and planned special events.

Nikians' main job was to create spirit for all of the teams, and to lend that extra morale boost that can make the difference between winning and losing.

What's spirit? According to some Nikian members it's "How much yelling you can do, even when we are behind."

"Spirit is true, 24-carat school pride." "Going to the game and yelling your head o.ff." "When you're there and you really ~are."

Sports

Vidory- -A Uniting of the Factions

Who are those players practicing on that field ? They all look the same to me, yet that old man insists I couldn't be further from the truth.

He says each player is part of a separate, unorganized team. Some of them play for the excitement, some are there for their health and others are just trying to win a letter. But if that's true, how can the separate divisions ever win as one team? The man only replies that to win is the one element that exists for all of them. And if you really want to win, you're very hard to defeat.

Sophomores Spring Out of Early Shadows

Do you remember the names Paul Kratz, Jim May, Mark Hayman or Craig E 11 i ott? Perhaps the names Bruce Northrop, Rich Butler, Tony Contreras or · Boyd Jones are a little more familiar. But what do they have in common? They team up with Pat Gibbons, Barry Blue, Kent Reckewey, Tom Graham, Len Dickinson, John Lowe and countless

the boys that turned out for football were sophomores. The cross country team barely existed due to a lack of interest from the student body. But every athlete who showed up for sports knew he was bound to letter that year for the Spartans, or whatever name the school would adopt.

"When I first showed up for football I

"'You always want to quit if you don't get to play. Instead of sophomore, reserve then varsity, here you're on varsity all three years."

other Spartans who have started a dynasty at East High.

Even though May and Elliott could not manage a shutout, or Kratz couldn't score the winning touchdown, they helped foster a team that would two years later win the city and conference titles. And even though Hayman only came out of one game knowing the taste of victory, he also started the road to a pair of championships.

The first year came early and most of

knew everyone I saw. I told myself 'all I need to do is act like I know what I'm doing and Coach Zentic will have me starting in the first game'."

But success wasn't quite that easy, as everyone found out after a few workouts.

"I'm not going to quit, but I sure hope he cuts me."

The first year was quite a long one as the losing records tended to show. Basketball, the last of the "major sports"attracted quite a few boys, as just about

To Help the Past Build an Athletic Dynasty

100 of the top ball players in the school showed up. After getting most of theboys he wanted on his team, Coach Forch found himself with one senior forward, Mark Hayman.

Many similar things that occurred in sports that first year have pretty much been forgotten.

The next year provided some wins in every sport, including a conference title in swimmin g, but the same line of inexperience kept cropping up in game predktions -

"If you look at the records, East should win, but Northeast has more experience."

By the time the third year came around there were a lot of Spartans who were determined to show everyone that two years of experience can win you a lot of ball games. Thus it was proclaimed: "1969-1970 -Year of the Experience."

The fall season began an~ everyone was talking state titles.

"Just look at us. We've got 20 guys returning plus last year's city champion reserve team! You've only got five lettermen back."

But inside each player, a serious side of the issue was always evident.

''When I went into that locker room yesterday, I got Velled at for talking to

Bob. And there wasn't anyone talking. They were just lying in there with the lights off."

By the time the football season had come to an end, there wasn't a state trophy in the trophy case. But the team did win the city and Trans Nebraska titles and the hardware that went with them.

Experience showed in the other fal I sports as the gymnastics, cross country and tennis teams all finished in the state's top ten. Just one year before, only the tennis team had placed in state.

When winter rolled in, the attention was focused on wrestling. After losing one senior the year before, Coach Ramey was gone and Coach Holechek made an appearance. By the time the season was over, Len Dickinson had repeated as state champion, John Lowe had just missed again and East had its first state trophy.

"That trophy made al I that sweat and time that I put into three years of wrestling worth it for the first time, but if any guy really deserved it, it was John. He's worked so hard and all he ends up with is second place. It's just not fair."

Fair or not, the trophy representing the best in the state had made its debut at the school, and it is very unlikely that it will be the last.

Players Live Through Excitement With Fans

What drives a boy into athletics? Why does he fee I they are more important than school or at least a necessary part of school?

Barry Cross, one of the state's better gymnasts, went out for the challenge of competition, while baseball player Ross Stephenson summed up most people's views when he called it, "A little glory and fun."

Some of the top athletes use athletics as preventive medicine. Golfer Jay Oxton stated, "If I hadn't gone out for golf, I

would've been a bum for 12 months of the year instead of eight." Kent Reckewey only answered , "If I wasn't out I'd probably get worse grades because I'd learn to waste time. When you're out for a sport you're more structured and you make time for homework ."

When you're an athlete, you've got a lot of things to worry about. Sure it may pop up sometime that you scored the winning conversion against Northeast, but the next week you can be called the goat for failing to do the same thing against Lincoln ·High.

"You know, fans are more unpredictable than a game of football in the rain One day you can score 20 points and hel p win the game, but the next week they te ll you that you shouldn ' t be on varsity because you • could only score 15 i n defeat."

But the decision of "should the boy play"? is left u p to the coach, not to th e fans Yet, if the coach is despised in the eyes of the autiience, how is he regarde d by his team?

I t was evident that he should be a teacher, an administrator, a timer and a friend. The best coach has "got to b e your friend, but at the same time command enough respect so you can't ca ll him your buddy "

What does the public think of th e athlete? To many people they're representing the school, but to all the littl e kids around the neighborhood, they'r e idols

"Hey Jerry, I'm not going to be Barr y Blue anymore. I want to be Ken t Reckewey."

And how do the stars look at it ? According to basketball player Dic k Kohler, "It makes you feel kind of good Here you are walking to the showers an d some kid says, ' nice game, Dick' and I didn't even play."

and Return to Reality With va·ried Emotions

It isn't hard to guess that all of those • young kids have the same · thing in mind that Dave Dunnigan had years ago.

"I never believed I'd see myself out there playing at Seacrest or Pershing. When you're a kid you dream about it. You just think about how great it would be to be interviewed on the radio."

And those kid days are over for all the boys in high school. Either you're an athlete or a spectator. Yet, is the distinction that easy to make?

In every sport there are many more boys going out than the crowd will ever see in one evening. There are, of course, the starters, but then there are the reserves-the guys that keep playing so the first-stringers can improve and help insure their success and glory. But a non -starter is in a lonely position.

"I don't want to quit because I keep thinking maybe sometime I'll get a chance to show everyone what I can do."

And after a loss, he doesn't feel much better.

"It's as though I were sitting in the E-Club section. I feel bad but I don't feel personally bad because I was not directly involved."

But the stars, the guys that get all of the publicity, do their own bit of suf-

"'A coach never wins. If he calls for a punt on fourth

down, everyone in the stands is mad at

him for not going for it. If he goes for it and fails, they

want to string him up. And if they

feri ng after a loss.

Senio r pole vaulter Tom Waddle feels bad "because I let down the coach." Many others were depressed for reasons like, "Here the coach gives you your big chance to go out and show everybody what you can do and you botch it up. You just want to crawl in a hole."

So believe it or not, the athlete at East High is a regular human being, not much different than anyone else. He suffers through the losses, celebrates the victories and wonders about the fans just as much as they wonder about him.

But does it take three years of varsity ball to bring him back to humanity or is everyone like that? The answer lies ahead as never again will half of one team play at Seacreast or Pershing for three straight years.

The trophies that have been filling the display case do not belong just to "us," nor do the ones of decades ahead belong just to "them." Because in these first three years a dynasty has been founded, and all the future can do is keep it alive.

Depth Holds Team Together Despite Injuries

"No more sprints!" a lineman's fist crashed into the side of a locker.

"No more hills!" and a jubilant cheer erupted from the far side of the room.

This mayhem was momentarily muffled as Coach Lee Zentic and his first year assistant, Lyle Sittler, came jogging into the locker room.

The football team had just defeated Pius X 7-6, and Coach Zentic wante d to know, "Who wins the award tonight"?

After an opening nominat ion for Bruce Waldo, the decision for the game's most valuable player was made as the team started yelling for Gary Hustad.

The season was over now, but how could it be judged?

The last week of August was supposed to signal the return of 19 lettermen to East High football practice. However, only 18 were going to make it as Ron Weichbrodt was going to miss the season with a back injury.

But during the first week of practice another blow struck the team. Jeff Gade, a two-year letterman, sustained a knee injury during drills. Although he would see some game action later on, he wouldn't be in top condition for the rest of the year.

The first test of the year was with Grand Island, with the winner to be given a high state ranking and the inside edge on the Trans-Nebraska Conference crown.

The game in Grand Island would be the best overall game that the Spartan

fans would see. Quarterback Barry Blue scored three times while Pat Gibbons and Kent Reckewey, one of the two junior squadmen, each tallied once The defense held the Islanders in check as two passes were interecepted and two fumbles picked up

The next outing was at Hastings, and was probably going to le ave the bigg est scar on the club. Little (5'6") Jeff Mu nnis got his first chance to play offensively, and came through by ripping off high gains and scoring twice The defense produced its only shut out of the year, as the game ended 20-0.

Despite the victory, the next morning's practice was marked with silence. The reason being that Stan Hegener, an all-state candidate, was in the hospital awaiting surgery on his knee. Hegener had been cut down by a Hasting's block and would not be able to run until weeks after the final game.

The Homecoming game against Northeast received major attention around the city since the rockets had been upset the week before. With everyone knowing that Northeast could not be taken lightly, the practices began to last a little longer than the two -hour sessions that had been employed when school started.

Longer practices or whatever, Reckewey scored on the third play of the game, the score being set up by Munnis' 68 yard gallop the play before.

With minutes left to play, the Spa rt ans were deep in their own territory and

trailing the Rockets, 14-7. Blue slowly moved the team upfield on a pass to Bill Shepherd and the touchdown pass to Reckewey. The East High stands· suddenly erupted. Everyone went wild, jumping on each other, crying to anyone near them and then started to pray for a successful two-point conversion.

Coach Ze ntic chose to go with the option play, and Reckewey skipped around left end for the 15 - 14 win.

The week after the Northeast conquest, signs were seen everywhere saying, 1967 : LHS - 54, East-0.

All seniors could remember how Lincoln High had run up the score two years earlier in an attempt to impress the sports writers. This year was to be the year of revenge.

However on Wednesday, Blue was ailing with an ankle injury, and by Thursday it was considered a major question if he would even play. When the game started, Blue was on the bench wearing high-top cleats and Ross Stephenson was on the field guiding the team.

Lincoln High pegged a 14-0 lead, and it began to look as though the undefeated Spartans would go down without a fight. Although Blue came into the game early in the opening quarter, it wasn't till late in the game that the offense started clicking. Munnis scored his third touchdown of the year, and before too long, East was on the four-yard line with goal-to-go.

Fulfillment in Team Success Brings Year to Fruitful End

But Blue could not move the ball. It was fourth and two, with less than a minute to play when Blue lofted a pass into the end zone. The entire student body quickly showed their opinions of the play as some people sat down cursing, while others just sat down and cried.

But the officials had detected pass interference on th~ play, and were giving East four more cracks at the goal line. It only took two though, as Blue took the ball in from the one. The two-point conversion attempt proved to be one of the most memorable plays of the year as Reckewey was called on to sweep left end. Finding all channels for the victory blocked by Link defenders, he cut back to his right. Trapped again and again, he finally fell to the turf exhausted near midfield.

The game ended with the Spartans losing 14-13, and dreams of an undefeated season lost with it.

On a cold and overcast night, with the loss pretty much forgotten, Reckewey, Munnis and Kent Mahoney each scored once against Beatrice for a 21-7 victory.

East travelled north the next weekend to battle the Columbus Discoverers. After Gade scored his only touchdown of the year early in the game, the offense could not score after crossing the 20 yard line, once fumbling away the ball at. the one.

East fell from the ratings following the 15-6 loss to Columbus that week, and began preparations for Southeast.

Southeast had been ranked numb~i;. two, but was now out of the ratings following three losses in a row. It looked like a run away for East before the band could finish playing the national anthem.

Gibbons scored on the opening kickoff drive and Blue kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead. The Spartans recovered a Knight fumble on the ensuing kick-off, and scored on the next play when Reckewey drifted downfield and Blue threw him a perfect strike for six more points. Southeast came back to make the score 14-13, and had the ball in East territory with time running out. But a hard rush by Roger Fix, made a lot of hurried passes fall to the ground incomplete.

It was not until Monday that most of the student body knew that East had won the Trans-Nebraska football crown.

There was an extra week of practice

between the Southeast and Pius games, and a concern for the team's r~adiness began to show. It was late in the year and darkness was halting the sessions after an hour of practice.

However, the test against Pius X would mark the final game for 30 seniors. There were nine three-year men led by cocaptains Gibbons and Jeff Patterson, who also led the team in tackles. There were six guys on the team for their second year and the rest of them were graduates of the 1968 reserve city champions.

The game against the 'Bolts proved to be as memorable as the rest of the narrow victories against city teams. On a broken play, Blue scrambled around the backfield before hitting Mahoney for the score. The extra point was good, and East led 7-0.

Later in the game, the Pius quarterback threw a touchdown pass to a receiver who had managed to get steps on all East defenders. The kick attempt was apparently halted as the snap from center sailed back to the 20 yard line. But the 'Bolt player retrieved the ball, calmly looked downfield and threw the ball into his receiver's arms. Somehow he dropped the ball though, and East held on for their third one-point win in the city race.

""We're number one!"

Aft e r a successfu l two-point conversion, a referee's signal caps a Spartan comeback. The score put East past Northeast, 15-14.

Almost an hour had passed since the game ended, and the team had pretty much deserted the locker room in search of food and friends.

The coach was finishing his rounds of congratuations as he came up to Gibbons, who lockered at the end of the last row of lockers. Coach Zentic held out his hand and said softly, "Pat, too bad about those injuries, but you still gave us a great year. Thank you and good luck." The coach turned quietly and went into his office.

And as he had said, it was a great year. The Spartans were the new city and conference champions. Blue, Bob McGinnis and Patterson would be selected to the all-city team, while eight others would earn honorable mention. In four weeks, Coach Zentic would be chosen as the head coach in the Shrine Bowl Game.

But as Patterson left the locker room for his last time after a game, he said in a breath, "Don't thank me, coach. Thank you."

"I know I've probably griped more than anyone else on the team during practice. But what we did out there to_night (after Pius game) made up for it all 10 times."

Reserves Snare City Title, Turn in Cleats Undefeated

A city crown and a 7-1 record are difficult traditions to continue. Such things haunted the Junior Varsity football team all year before they surpassed the achievements of the team before them and finished, 7-0-1.

Memories of last year's champions were back in Coach Bob Eyth's mind after the first game as the team opened the season, crushing Grand Island, 33 -6. The only blemish on their record came the next week when the reserves earned a tie with the Ashland varsity team, 14-14

In quick succession, the squad then blasted Beatrice, 40-6, Lincoln High,

27-0, and Southeast, 46-6, before slipping past Fremont 13-6.

The next game; against Northeast, proved to be the most satisfying for the coaching staff. Only a year before, Northeast dealt the Spartan reserves their only l9ss, 6-0. After a hardhitting battle, East went home with a 20-15 victory. With the city title already theirs, the J.V.s finished their campaign with a 21-0 blitz of Pius X.

Sophs' Attitudes Outweigh Season's Record

A 2-4 record might signify a poor season for a lot of teams, but for the sophomore football team, it was their attitude toward the game that helped make the year a success.

Coaches John Henry and Rudy Stoehr tried to instill the ideas of team play and determination into their squad of 48 players.

During the first two games, the offense could cross the goal line only two times as the sophs fell to Pius X, 8-6, and Beatrice, 14-6. Spending the next week on moving the ball, the results were quite evident as East shut out Lincoln High,

23-0. The fourth contest was against Southeast, but once more the offense got bogged in a 20-7 setback.

Two weeks later the Crete Cardinals came to East. Before they were able to leave, the young Spartans had scored more points against them than they would against all the other oppositon put together in a 60-6 romp.

The final opponent was Northeast, and for the third year in a row, East was on the short side of the score. Playing as hard at the end as they were at the opening · kick-off, they finally succumbed 29 - 13.

Chicago Contributes Tal·en _t; Team Nets Seco·nd in Cit _y ·

Chicago, to a lot of students, means Mayor Daley and a rough force of policemen ; but to East High students it represented hopes for a top-flight tennis team

During the first two years of competition, Coach Bill North's tennis team struggled through only a ha n dful of wins. With top man Dick Kohler returning along with letterman Pat Chambers, it appeared that the\ Spartans could be considered as a threat in the city race.

However, when practice opened in August, Kohle r and Chambers were listed as the two and four players Dick Mcleese, a senior from Chicago, and his sophomore brother, Doug, had taken over the first and th i rd positions.

Dick Mcleese established himself early as one of the top players in the state

when he defeated S i g Garnett of Southeast, the top -seeded singles player in _ the city.

During the early weeks of October, East w as considered a pr i me contender for the state title by mqny of the local coaches, mainly since i n doubles, the Spartans were sending Doug Mcleese and Kohler , the city's best number two man, and for the singles competition, Dick Mcleese who had earlier shown his capabilites

When the meet was over, East had finished in a tie for fifth. The doubles team had been eliminated in the first round, but Mcleese survived until the semi -finals, where he lost to the new state , champ.

East Gymnasts S\Ning, Jump to City Wins

Victories over all, its city opponents, a claim which no other varsity fall sport could make, were the result of the-depth in th'is year's gymnastics team.

Coach John Scheer's varsity squad compiled a commendab le dual meet record of 8-1, falling only to North Platte. In addition to capturing the city crown, East's gymasts finished third in district behind Northeast and Lincoln High. Invitationals proved equally successful as the Spartan gymnasts came in near the top in all.

In midseason, such stunts as the "Arabian front flip" and the "Giant" were incorporated into the various routines.

Whether or not the stunts did the trick, when the state meet finals rolled around, 12 Spartans qualified for state. The final tally found East rated third, with senior letterman Barry Cross pegged fourth best in all-around performance and seniors Larry Bond and Bob Bowden placing high.

Other notable performances were turned in by seniors Alan Everett and Wayne Kubicek, and Rob Binger, junior.

Harriers Trade City Cellar for State -Meet'

A seventh p l ace sta t e frn i sh, from a team of runne r s who barely knew what a state meet was l i ke ; highlighted the East High cross country season this year._

Cpach Ji m · McConnell had six lettermen r et u rning, and a good shot at escaping the cellar position in the city that East had occupied for the last two years. Seniors Tom Graham , Steve Shaneyfelt and Alvin Tao, and juniors Kent Leach and Kirk Vifquain led the squad to successful finishes at the invitationals held early in the season.

Still running f i ve to ten m il es each day, the team hit a slump during the second half of their schedule. The apparent low point came i n the City Meet where East finished fourth out of four.

The next week-end, the Spartans sent Graham, Leach, Shaneyfelt, Vifquain and junior J i m Plass to the District Meet. When the totals were compiled, East had finished second and was taking all five runners to the State Meet.

Qua l ifying for the meet was a dream, and finishing near the top was far from most people's thoughts back in September. But Graham, the top runner all year, paced a balanced team effort to their seventh place State finish.

And as one parent put it, "That's a nice long way from fourth in the city."

"Paul, I like to see you win, but do you have to make them all th is close " ?

While basketball coach Paul Forch jokingly answered, "Just put another close one down for us," Athletic Director Phil Sprague turned quietly, slowly made his way through the empty bleachers and prepared to go home for the night.

That was the style of play East had been toying with all year long - either coming from far behind to make a dull game close, or unavoidably allowing the foe to do the same.

It all started when the pre-season prognosticators gave the Spartans a chance to win a lot of games if they could play up to their potential. Barry Blue, Dave Fischbach, Paul Malone and Tom Slaughter were back for their third season. The remainder of the 10 -man squad was balanced with second year men Stan Hegener, Dave Loos, Kent Reckewey and rookies Dave Dunnigan, Steve Gans and Dick Kohler.

against cross -tow n foe Lincoln High. For the first half it l ooked like a continuation of the Southeast game as neither team could capitalize on the other team's poor shooting. But by the time the game had ended the Spar ta n s had put the ball through with enoug h consistency to win.

The Spartans went to Omaha Central the same weekend and started the game running strong. Bu t another cold spell hit the quintet in th e fo urth quarter, and they finally lost a close battle in overtime.

The final test be fore the winter break was against anot her city foe, Pius X Opening the game w i th a tight full co urt press, qu i ck bask ets b y Loos and R eck ewey provided East wi t h a 19-7 cus h i o n

But early i n the game a chill went down the spines of many observers ~s Reckewey fell hard to the cour t After being carried o.ff and into , the dressing room, rumors were circulating that he'd sit out the year with a broken bone. But a less serious fate was assured as he hobbled back to the end of the bench · with an ice pack on his ankle early in the second quarter.

The three-week l ayoff gave Reckewey enough time to recover but it also slowed down the offensive barrage that had become the talk of the school since the game with Pius. With tough Omaha Tech c o ming to Lincoln, the Spartans would have one game against Kearney to sharpen up for the big contest.

Apparently overlooking the game with Kearney though, East struggled much of the second half to escape with a close 59 - 53 win. Omaha Tech left the next night af t er delivering a 57-47 loss to Coach Forch's club. Even though a close battle l o oked probable during the first half, Tech controlled the boards in the second half to gain the 57-47 conquest.

one-on-one."

So with the big win and now rated number two in the state, the team went to battle Columbus. But apparently the Discoverers had been reading about Reckewey as they put two and sometimes three men on him everytime he had the ball. Despite this, the game still went down to the closing seconds before East fell 72-70.

The top ranking in the state had gotten away for the time being as the top team in the ~tate had lost also, but the club was determined to make it up in the next few games. Ahead were the city and Trans-Nebraska crowns, both races in which East had not yet suffered a setback.

Five days later Reckewey's 18 second half points and the balanced scoring added by Dunnigan, Fischbach and Malone brought the team back from a 10 point disadvantage in the first half to squeak out a 69-66 sweep over Southeast.

The next night the Spartans were matched up with Fremont, a team rated first in the state by the Associated Press. After falling back 15 points in the third stanza, defensive star Loos entered the game to start the full court press. With Malone and Reckewey doing the scoring, the game was finally tied early in the final quarter.

With one win needed next weekend-

Reflecting the emotions of the coaches and the

against either Lincoln High or Northeast-for East to claim another city trophy, the team went through practice in a very relaxed atmosphere. It wasn't until the night before the game with the Links that Coach Forch cautioned his club against taking anyone too lightly.

The first evening the team jumped to a 21-11 first quarter lead and everyone started worrying about the Northeast game. But the foe came back to tie it up at 43-43. Not before a flurry of baskets went through was the city trophy earned

with a 67-56 win.

The return match with the Rockets gave Reckewey another chance to score as he fired through 23 points. But no one else contributed more than six as the Spartans lost their only city game of the year, 62-52. •

Trying to forget the week before, Dunnigan scored 23 in the 73-70 win over Hastings, while Fischbach had his best night ever, scoring 25 in the 80-74 Grand Island finale.

Season Terminates With District Thrillers

It was tourney time again, and East was matched with Lincoln High in the opening round. Playing Reckewey, Blue, Fischbach, Dunnigan and Malone the full game, Coach Forch advanced the squad to the finals. After holding a commanding 15 point lead at the midway break, the team went through a third quarter slip and found themselves tied 50-50. But the Link's roof fell in as East ran up 14 straight tallies for the 67-52 win.

As Northeast eliminated Southeast in overtime for their berth in the finals, a chance for revenge was given to the team.

In the fast-moving first period with the Rockets, the Spartan five fired through point after point but still trailed by nine, 30-21, when the buzzer sounded. But Dunnigan, Malone and Reckewey sent the team out to a 44-37 lead with two minutes left in the half. By this time Reckewey had forced Novak out of the game with three personal fouls and was now waltzing over the Rocket replacement.

After East stole the ball, a pass was fired down to Dunnigan who was steaming for the basket. As he went up for the shot, Northeast all-state fullback Maury Damkroger crashed into him from behind. The referees halted any confronta- • tion between the two as they banished Damkroger from the contest for his foul.

The Spartan stands erupted. Now that Damkroger was gone and two starters in

foul trouble, how could anything stop East from ballooning its seven point lead into a lop-sided win? But something did happen as Novak and Reckewey waged an awesome scoring duel which led the game to a 71-71 tie after regulation time.

With Dunnigan, Malone and Fischbach on the bench, and Reckewey playing with four fouls, the play turned ragged. The only shot that the team would get off in the fifth period was an off-balance jumper by Hegener following the tip. After East lost the ball the next two times for violations, Northeast got the ball and decided to stall for one shot.

The time finally came when Novak, guarded tightly by Loos had the ball 20 feet from a trip to the state tourney in Omaha. With nine seconds left he flipped a pass to Greg Wright who arched the ball home. With the finalseconds flashing by, Reckewey raced up to half court with the ball and tried to get off a shot. But he lost _ control of it on the way up and the ball sank just past the free throw line. The year was over.

The pep club broke into tears and a round of good luck to the Rocket team as they realized that their three years of high school basketball had ended.

But it wasn't really going to do a lot of good as one more close one went down on the season slate; only this time, Mr. Sprague couldn't "put another one down for us."

Although the success of the team can be traced to its players, the support given by a full-house crowd played its role in the effort.

Team Efforts Guide J. V. s To Second 12 -4 Campaigi1

\ A duplication of last year's 12-4 record may be one of the few similarities that can be drawn between the '69-'70 reserve basketball team and the squad before it.

The club "without the outstanding individual, but 15 talented boys" suffered their initial defeat in the first outing with Southeast. But they rallied back to drop the foe in their next eight games, including handing Northeast one of their two losses of the year.

Down on the bench Coach Rudy Stoehr's antics kept everyone loose all year long. Very few minutes would go by before he was whistling encouragement onto the court, moving to 1the far end of

the bench or climbing a few rows up into the bleachers.

Coach Stoehr slowed his junior varsity down this year, and the result was a deliberate offense that "shot less (720 shots) but better (48%)." Leading the scoring and rebounding assault was junior Steve Joekel, a driving forward, who finished the year with 183 points and 93 caroms.

For a slower offense and a first-year team (only two boys played reserve ball last year), they oddly enough managed to break the last of their seven new school records when they scored 85 points in the finale at Grand Island.

well taken, the reserves rolled on to victory number eight and handed the Northeast junior varsity their initial setback.

Vac ation Marks End of Championship - Ho pe

Sophomore basketball coach Ken Rippe may spend a lot of his free time before next season trying to devise some techniques to eliminate school vacations. At least he might try to since his team fell from the city lead at Christmastime and finished the season with a 5-7 record.

Going into the yuletide·period with a 3-1 mark, the sophs appeared to be in the thick of the race for the city crown. But over the winter break, the team got a taste of the spirft of charity and unavoidably gave the cross town schools the time to improve their playing talents.

"We got off to a fast jump and it just' took the other teams a vacation to catch up with us."

Despite the year long scoring e!forts of Scptt Weary and John Bryant, a lateseason flurry of violations cramped the style of play that the sophs had successfully employed in December.

At season's end Coach Rippe cited the general floormanship displayed by Marc Mahoney and Doug Mcleese and the rebounding of Weary as factors for putting the sophs on top in many of their wins.

Disqualifications Thwart 'Finest Year Ever'

"I want it to be known that this was the best team we've ever had. This may not have been evident in the season record, but it showed in the individual performances." Coach Dennis Vokolek paid this tribute to his 1969-1970 swimmers.

The breaking of seven of 11 school records by wetbacks such as Randy Carlson, Terry Chapin, Jim Wendt and Dave Wicks certainly was an indication of a team that worked hard all season. Led by captain Bob Hynek, these and the other seniors formed the nucleus of the squad which came back from an early disappointing loss at Hastings to cap the dual season with their finest effort, against Fremont. This victory earned them a 6-4 record and left them with a winning attitude for the big meets ahead.

The high light of the season came when East used its team depth to avenge earlier dual defeats at the hands of Lincoln High and Southeast by winning the city relays in the last event.

It was strangely ironic and sadly disappointing that these same relays kept East High from defending their TransNebraska title and destroyed their chances for the runner-up spot in State. In both of these important meets, overly eager tankers leaped off the blocks too soon which resulted in the disqualification of the relay teams and cost East crucial points.

Commended by Coach Vokolek as the most consistant performer of the season, senior Tom Lawson typified the desire and determination shown throughout the - • season by the spongeheads, as he constantly garnered points throughout the season.

Juniors Roger Fix and Jon Miller contributed, one as an individual, the other as part of a relay team. Sophomore Jeff Putman bacame the first diver to reach the state finals, but the greatest Spartan success story involved sophomore Kim Kovanda, who switched strokes in mid-season and captured thirds at State in the ·50 and 100-yard freestyle.

With their hard work, competitive spirit, and outstanding individual performances, this year's swim team built upon the "East High Swimming Tradition" and proved themselves "the best team we've ever had."

State Trophy Awakens Yesterday's Dreams

A few premature screams could be made out as the referee gave the wrestlers the signal to stop. He hopped over to the scorer's table to check the final count, returned to the exhausted grapplers and heiped raise Len Dickinson's hand into the air. The section of East High's boosters erupted, as the ref's actions had put enough points behind the Spartans' score to assure them of the school's first state championship team.

The tension and nervousness that had been building up since mid-November and had peaked during the last two days finally had an outlet.

In the middle of the season, East was so highly touted that the papers made a claim that the Spartans would not lose to a team of all-stars from the crosstown schools. Ironically, the team felt their initial pains of defeat the same night the article appeared as they lost to Fremont.

Coach James Holechek 's squad realized for the first time that they weren't invincible. They could lose to any foe at any time if they didn't maintain their humility. Buckled with this idea, the wrestlers swept through the rest of their slate and finished the year with that lone setback from Fremont.

The goals of city, conference, distric t and state titles were broken into as Kevin Puderbaugh, John Lowe, Mike Arthur, Dickinson and Jerry Stoner won individual championships and led the team to the Trans-Nebraska trophy. Less than one week later they knocked off Northeast for the city crown.

The final two tests were the district and state meets. The district meet appeared to be going well as 10 of the 12 boys made it to the final round. Puderbaugh, Lowe, Arthur, Pat Arthur and Dickinson won district titles while Steve Hastings and Stoner were the other two to survive regional elimination.

With seven qualifiers in the state meet , East was rated as a favorite with Scottsbluff. After four of the 11 'Bluffs entries suffered early setbacks, and Puderbaugh and Hastings claimed first-round wins, the Spartans could see the pot at the end of the rainbow.

But before the finals were held, only Lowe and Dickinson had earned a berth The co-captains had gone through the season without a loss, with Dickinson owning the longest winning streak in the state at 46.

Only one of them had to win in the finals for East to takE? the trophy, and it finally came down to Dickinson's match After Lowe lost for the second year in the final round, the thoughts of losing the title began to crop up. But Dickinson ran his streak to 47 wins as he decisioned his foe 6-2.

So it had taken three years, two coaches and · a lot of individual sacrifice , but the shiny hardware in the trophy case was well worth the time.

Returning Seniors Improve With Goals for Sta·t e Crown

Coach Stoehr sure was right when he said he didn't expect many sophomores to be up on his team this year. Here I am just on thereserve roster after thinking that I would come to East and play varsity baseball my first year.

I suppose I deserve it, though. Even if I can field like those seniors and hit the ball just as far, they don't need me anyway. They just don't lose to anybody this year.

When I came out and watched them last spring, they needed help in my position, but I guess Coach Stoehr finally got that guy to work a little harder. I'm

almost glad that I'm not on the team anyway. I don't know if I could practice that long just for a chance at the state trophy. But apparently those guys really want it.

I'd still like to be one of them, though. They just about live together, talking baseball wherever they go. They're alway~ having a lot of fun even if some of the sacrifices they go through seem a bit too much.

Oh well. I guess I better get over to the practice field before play starts and maybe I 'II be back with these guys before next year.

Ne~ Coach Sends Veteran Squad \to Meets and Titles

East's new golf coach, Dale Wismer, summed up his pre-season expectations by saying, "I don't want to make any predictions, but if these kids progress the way they are capable, we should have a good season." Senior returning letterman Dave Fischbach went a step further predicting a state championship if the players worked.

It was hard to predict the impact of a new coach on the performance of a team, but East High golfers and their new coach both heartily agreed that the Spartan performers had the potential to do some great things.

The return of seven lettermen from last year's team, which was edged out of a state finals berth by just two strokes, along with 25 other eager players made yearling Coach Wismer's debut understandably enjoyable.

Pre-season practice began in earnest

early in March and the first meet was Apr. 3. It was soon evident that the golfers would be chasing a state title all season long. A tougher schedule, including more invitationals helped sharpen the skills of the already talent-ladened team.

"Golf's a pansy sport. No contact, no endurance, no brains, no no thin'."

"Ever try it''? "No."

"Most people think golf is a pansy sport, but it's just like any other sport; if you want to succeed it takes concentration, determination and hard work."

Joint Interests Accent Prolific lntramurals

The mangling of limbs and the rending of flesh signaled the initiation of a new intramural season at East High, as the H. T. & T., a senior flag football team, took their cue from the success of the Spartan gridders and captured an undisputed school championship, coupled with a runner-up trophy in city • competition.

Though girls' field hockey lacked the ferocity of flag football, their team's desire carried them to a 1-1 record against both Northeast and Southeast.

Girls developed their agility on the gymnastics team during a season of dual meets and finished with the city meet. Bowling was added to the list of sports available to girls with time to spare.

Frustrated females found a lid on the basket as they hustled full-court for the first time. ~he Rejects won the hardfought, annual jr.-sr. boys' basketball league, ousting the defending champion Hot Tacos.

Volleyball drew interest from both sexes as the Golden Horde, reigning city champions, returned to defend their title and the girls' volleyball team went 3-1 against city foes.

The base paths were well worn as softball teams were formed by both departments. This ended the year for boys, and track and field closed out the intramural season for the girls.

Co-sponsors Mr. Jean Henrichs and Mr. Steve Lahr cited greater enthusiasm among the boys and a higher caliber of playing as improvements over last year. Student leadership and skills were developed in girls' intramurals, according to sponsor Miss Carol French. Participation increased as 325 boys and 500 girls were involved in the after school activities.

I live alone. It hasn't always been that way. It's nice sometimes to open up the heart a little and let some hurt come in. It proves you're still alive.

l'q, not sure what it means. Why we cannot shake the old loves from our minds It must be that we build on memory and make them more than what they were. And is the manufacture just a safe device for closing up the wall?

-Rod McKuen -

"The herd instinct makes the average man afraid to stand alone; he is always afraid to stand alone for an idea, no matter how good, simply as a matter of prejudice. Our herd, like evety other herd, when stampeded is liable to trample under its feet anybody who does not run with it."

- Victor Berger

"Supreme happiness consists in self-content; that we may gain this self-content we are placed upon this earth and endowed with freedom, we are tempted by our passions and restrained by conscience. What more could divine power itself have done in our behalf?"

-Jean Jacques Rousseau

Old friends, Old friends Sat on their park bench Like bookends.

A newspaper blown through the grass Falls on the round toes On the high shoes Of the old friends.

Can you imagine us Years from today, Sharing a park bench quietly? How terribly strange To be seventy.

Old friends, Memory brushes the same years Silently sharing the same fear . .. -Simon and Garfunkel0 0ld Friends"

"Our lives as we live them, are passed on to others, whether in physical or mental forms, tinging all future lives forever. This should be enough for one who lives for truth and service to his fellow passengers on the way. "

-Luther Burbank

"Man is a product of his environment." Is it true? It is. You are what you live. In determining character one cannot overlook the relationship between one's background and the future that is the direct derivative of that background. It's very hard to change. It takes time. But sometimes it's necessary. 'The old order changeth, yielding place to the new; And God fulfills himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world. "

-Alfred, Lord Tennyson
