rJumping rope, sandlot football, going to the zoo ... simple things we remember.
The first day of spring, a hike in the park getting back to nature.
A baby's laugh, the song of a bird the sounds of life.
Wedding bells, a funeral march living goes on
Every morning my alarm awakens me at 6:30. scurry around for 75 minutes for the sole purpose of arriving at school on time. And for seven more hours my time is occupied by quadratic equations, memorizing the periodic table, and whether Fred will ask Jan to Homecoming.
I am so busy wasting time I don't realize that the entire day has zoomed by without my doing one thing to really help someone else. I wos so preoccupied with dull little details I had not time , or so I thought, to spare l O minutes from my "important" schedule to just listen to the other guy.
Time is so very precious that we must decide which aspects of our lives are most important. If we are ever to reach out to those around us we must simplify our daily routines enough to allow for this.

Knowled ge
Often times students have been known to complain that a particular course or a certa i n teacher is boring. School is the place we attend to learn and yet when a course or teacher does not meet our every expectation we hide behind this excuse. Knowledge is not something that can be obtained by being exposed to it for a certain length of time. Knowledge is not necessa ri ly obtained easily or painlessly but only when we put fo rth the effort. Even if a teacher is du 11 the re is something that can be learned if only we give it a chance. Knowledge will come when we demonstrate this attitude throughout our lives.

"Thinking does not cause cancer or brain damage."
-Mr. John Kastl
Everyone has it, some use it more than others. It is something which can't be held in your hand, but held steadfast in your mind. Knowledge is the state of knowing about life and the things around you.
Recognizing the necessity for knowledge, students and teachers work together to understand the complexities of the world. The information that is gained by experience
It seems for a person to lead a successful life he must take pride in what he is doing, and what he plans to do in the future.
With an atmosphere of trust, respect and understanding students and teachers can function to their utmost capacity. There need not be strong supervision to make the learning process work.
For all that are involved recognizing the
Knowledge: key to understanding
or understanding comes from many aspects. The teacher is one of the basic elements. He doesn ' t just fill our minds with thoughts and ideas, he motivates each and every one of us into a state of knowing, realizing what the world has to offer.
Knowledge is knowing the truth about yourself and the people around you, human understanding of each other ' s feelings and ideas. Students must feel respect not only for themselves but others that they come in contact with.
necessity for knowledge, and using it constantly in all your experiences, with people in school, and out, you will grasp the light of wisdom, which will be carried with you the rest of your life.
Improvement of school climate is goal
The desire to improve the climate at East High in such a way that would promote a better atmosphere for learning describes the administration's goal for this year.
This attitude was stimulated by a grant received by Mr. James Huge from the C. F. Kettering Foundation for the purpose of studying the school climate. The grant pays Mr. Huge's
expenses to the national meeting where other administrators discuss, study, and analyze ways to improve the atmosphere of the school.
One approach to accomplish this goal was to try to give the students more responsibilities for jobs formerly the administration's. This, however, was not a signal to abandon school rules. One administrator commented, "I become

Mr. Darwin Salestrom: Vice Principal
Mr. Phillip Sprague: Athletic Director
frustrated when students don't conform to the few rules that East has. The rules we do enforce are for the students' advantage."
A special emphasis was placed on encouraging the students to eliminate their fear of failing so that they would feel comfortable in trying something new or different at school, and even if the student does fail, he should not give up.
The administration tried to instill a feeling that school does serve a purpose among students. · In the words of one administrator, "My main dislike is when a student has the attitude that ' school can do nothing for me.' I don't care if it is just learning to get along with people, school has its purpose."

"You
just start to know your students and then you have to turn them over to a student teacher."
Student teachers, as the title implies, are students learning the art of teaching. At times there may be some controversy as to whether they are an advantage or disadvantage to both the teacher and student. As a whole, teachers generally consider the student teacher to be an advantage. One teacher explained, "Student teachers can be a tremendous asset or they can be a total disaster. It is a disastrous position when a student teacher replaces the teacher."
Many teachers had discovered that two different approaches to teaching could definitely be beneficial to the students. "The students can identify with the student teacher whereas they might not be able to do so with the teacher." Another teacher commented that "a student teacher is a great asset because he is excited about teaching, has new ideas, and hasn't gotten into a rut."
Student teachers, because of their inexperience, are sometimes cons i dered to be disadvantages in that the student may possib ly
suffer in his role as a guinea pig. "Student teachers are helpfu l when it comes to working with the student on an individual basis, but a disadvantage when it comes to not being able to handle the class." One teacher suggested that the teacher shou Id work more closely with the student teacher by first approving his proposed lesson plan before it is done.
In order to insure good teachers for the future the student teaching program must continue. One must remember that it is "the individual student teacher who makes the difference."

"It's more important for a student to learn the process of learning than the content of something."
As a student one hears tales from teachers of what they used to make their students do , which are enough to make one extremely thankful he isn't a few years older. As an assignment , one teacher used to have his students memorize the Declaration of Independence , the names of all the Presidents in chronological order , plus a mere 100 question semester quiz. Somehow one wonders how teachers react toward this somewhat sudden change in teaching methods .
"It's neat!" one teacher exclaimed. " It's more like life is. The classes are more relaxed and the students can accept or reject an idea with the benefit of having heard that idea. It creates more classroom noise , but exciting things happen when the teacher is no longer the center of attention but takes part in discussions."
"No one should learn facts. But students need to understand and recognize the disciplines man has made. If man doesn't understand history he'I I · make the same mistakes now."
Probably students would most agree with the teacher who said , "It's the best thing that has ever happened in the teaching profession."

"There is a necessity for grades in order for students to have a degree of self-satisfaction." '
In recent years a pass-fail program was initiated in which students could take a certain number of hours pass-fail. This action stirred up numerous thoughts as to the revamping of the entire grading system. Many teachers feel that the present system is adequate and see no need for a change. "This system is as good as any. The present system wi II change as soon as the next level of education changes theirs. Right now we're stuck in the middle." "I like the 1, 2, 3 system for it gives the students a goal to work for."
Yet others feel that too much emphasis is
put on grades. One teacher said, "I use grades only because I have to." And another stated she would "like to see a non -gradi ng system where a student can go on when he meets a minimum requirement."
Perhaps the grading system is best left in its present state - at least u nti I another level of education initiates the change. Or in the words of one teacher, "The high school students now have been taught ~hat good grades are important, not that you learn to think. If the system were to be changed it should begin with students in the first grade and not with high school students."

"A teacher is like a product and the students should have a voice in their evaluation."
With the adoption of open campus many teachers are wondering what new freedom the student body will demand. Possibly this demand would be in the area of an evaluation of the teachers by their students. Many teachers feel that the students shou Id be able to evaluate their teachers. However, just how much importance should be placed on this evaluation is not agreed upon.
One aspect to ponder is if the student would be truly honest in the evalu ation or if it would be just a popularity contest. As one tea c her suggested, " If a positive sense of mind is used so that the students would not look only at the negative side of the teacher , all could benefit. But our society is geared to see only the ne ga t i ve ;ide of things."
Another teacher stated , "Students are the :>enefactors and they should play a part in :eacher evaluation. The teachers should be =apable of recognizin g and underst and i ng their :;tudents' capacities . Students , on the other hand , :;hould be able to decipher between a good ~ducation and a popular teacher " Numerous :eachers felt st ra i ned relations between faculty nembers could result if thJ~ evaluation w as not 1dministered properly. One teacner felt th at the ivalry to be the most popular could chan g e ;ome teachers. However, another stated th at 'adults should be mature enough to know that 1ot all teachers and students will get along with !ach other."
There is also disagreement as to whether he results of the evaluation should affe c t the ehiring or salary of a teacher. Comments anging from "a teacher should not have to be lependent on popularity for staying on as a eacher" to "the results should have a 75 % affect •n the hiring of a teacher" can be heard.
"When a teacher reaches a certain point he an no longer receive a raise unless he goes
into administration . When a teacher reaches that point he may feel that he can just "slack off for the rest of the time , and incentive pay would give this teacher something to work for by continuing to be a good teacher. "
There are many areas to be ironed out before this student evaluation could come into effect. However , many teachers feel that it will occur in the near future. As one teacher said , "Teachers and students are constantly bein g evaluated- just not in such an out-and - out way."

"There never was, there' 11 never be a better class than '73!"
The senior class 415 different people with different activities and interests that have somehow come together to form the class of '73.
The big worry of many seniors is the future ... what it holds and what will happen to them in the years to come. For some seniors who have
Nobody could decide if the class of 1973 was unified or not. According to some, we were more split apart than ever. And then again others felt the seniors were finally getting it together. Many seniors had jobs and other outside interests that kept our class from being completely unified.

been in the building six years, graduation was a welcome change of pace and relief. To others the uncertainty and lack of security was frightening. But overall most seniors felt the promise of the future was exciting and enticing. Divisions and cliques were still alive and existing in the senior class but things were getting better. People seemed to be friendlier and talked to everybody. Many realized that this was their last year and it was time to start to get along better with everyone. The age-old problem of the "jocks" versus "freaks" still continued. But as we got older it didn't seem so bad. As one senior commented, "The jocks got jockier and the freaks were freakier, but I still like everybody."
But cliques still got in the way. "Eve ryone stayed in their own group, but as a whole we got along much better than we did as sophomores and juniors," said a senior boy.
Most seniors thought being a senior was great. "We're finally the oldest and no one can boss us around." As one senior boy commented, "The seniors before always gave the impression of being 'tough' or 'cool.' I can't see that I should give that impression."
Being a senior is having to say goodby to old friends and securities. School has always been a place to meet and see people, to pick up and give ideas. But most seniors felt this has been their best year and the senior class is a fantastic group of people.

"We are the best, there are no more, we're the class of '7 4!"
A gradual conversion took place this year at East High School. Although the ch a nges may have gone unnoticed by some, they definitely occurred in the class of '7 4.
The overwhelming amount of spirit and enthusiasm shown by last year's "super sophs" toned down and changed slightly as they became juniors. Many people agreed that it was more
numerous cliques were voiced often. "We are still segregated-the more popular kids in their groups and the less popular in theirs."
"The class is built up of petty diques which isolate people and give them false security."
"This class is a class of jocks and superjocks, there's no place in this class for a freak!"
"I just wish it was easier to communicate

difficult to promote spirit within the class this year.
One girl felt that "Pep Club split up our spirit a great deal. Pep Club spirit seemed too fakey and uniform. Our spirit was us."
"It was harder to promote class spirit with the girls in Pep Club and the guys active in sports and E-Club," stated another.
However, many juniors felt that their class had "changed for the better." Several students agreed that the junior class seemed more unified this year.
"We've gotten older. We have become more unified in different ways and we have become more mature," cited one individual.
Another commented, "At times the class unity was very strong, but not all the time. Only when we were working on class projects and during fund-raising functions."
Most of the juniors felt closer to other classes this year too. "You are accepted more by the seniors as a junior," replied one boy. "I feel closer to the seniors and the sophomores."
On the other hand, complaints about the
with some kids. There are a lot of people who need to feel the feeling that they are needed."
"It's the same old story once, just once I'd like to see the juniors who don't make it, make it!"
Jobs and other interests also tested the unity of the class. Many juniors also felt more emphasis was placed on their future.
"Being a junior put more pressure on you for good grades towards college," one boy noticed.
• "ft's a lot more work and not as much fun," commented another.
Regardless of the many hassles confronting the junio r class this year, one thing remained essentially the same, their ability to work together. One individual truly summarized the class when he stated, "We are a group of highly spirited kids with personalities as varying as on looks and names, but we all have pride in the fact that we are trying for improvement in ourselves as individuals, our class as a whole, and for everyone."

Sophomores attempt acquaintance
Three separate classes of junior high graduates were lumped together to form the class of '75. Getting acquainted with each other was the main objective of the class this year. "It's hard to have unity when we don't know ~nyone," said a discouraged class member. "We're mostly jocks and freaks. If you're anything in-between you are ignored." "We aren't' a class, but a group of individuals trying to achieve our separate goals," added another.
"The junior high look at you and say 'wow.' The seniors look at you and say 'punky little kids,'" observed one class member. However, most sophomores agreed that the _juniors and seniors were easy to get along with. "We're treated with real respect and appreciation,"
expressed a sophomore boy.
A sympathetic view of the junjor high was expressed by the former "gummers."_ "After all we were once there, too. Although I can't believe I ever acted like that." One sophomore that had attended another junior high added, "Kids going to junior high here won't know the feeling of being on top as freshmen." "They're human, too, just younger," said another sophomore.
Sports, Spirit Club, Young Life, drama, and music were among the popular activities of the class. "And of course, we can always just mess around," commented one boy.
As one girl explained, "Our class is mostly divided into groups, but once in a while we're all there-and it's fun!"

During the game sophomores sit stunned as their Spartan basketball team experiences a 20-point deficiency to a powerful Lincoln High team .
Junior high desires school involvement
"East is fun and the day seems shorter than it used to," commented a seventh grader, "but it needs improvements." The overall feeling of the East Junior High was good. "I love it and I'm proud to say I go to East."
Although the junior high morale was high they still voiced many complaints. "I feel we should get to go to all the pep rallies because we're just as much a part of the school as anybody else," expressed a ninth grade boy. "Last year the ninth graders got to go to the pep rallies, and this year we don't."
Other junior high students felt that they should get more assemblies and school activities.
"I want to go home to lunch, too." "And why can't we go to the good assemblies, we're a part of East." "I think that they should invite the junior high to more activities."
What is junior high spirit like? "We're number one in spirit in this school." "Great!" "Really good." "Better than the senior high."
But the junior high still felt that if they were allowed to go to pep rallies their spirit would be better. "Then we would have a chance to show the senior high what spirit is all about."
The junior high students had mixed feelings about the treatment they received from the senior high. One girl said, "They look down on us just because we're younger. I think they should help us feel more a part of the school." "I don't know about others, but I haven't been bothered by the senior high, they just act like I'm not there. " "I haven't been called a gummer too much, at least not for fifteen minutes." "I really get along fine with the senior high, especially my sister's friends."
lntramurals and the ninth grade heavyweight football team occupied a lot of the ninth graders' time. "Maybe now that our football team is winning the high school will know we're
alive."
A lot of students were active in the junior high plays. "The plays are a lot of fun. They give us a I ittle bit of our own identity "
Many eighth graders were busy working on their social studies project. "In our class we formed our own business and have been selling caramel apples and popcorn balls."
The seventh graders' main activities seemed to be getting adjusted to East and all the "big people." Many spent their time at intramurals and gymnastics.
One ninth grade boy summed up being a ninth grader in this way: "When I want to be a part of the senior high I am a freshman, and when I want to be in junior high I am a ninth grader."
"Being in junior high isn't so bad, I kinda like it. At least we stick together and are friends." Said a seventh grader, "We just have to, to survive. "

When your time is not occupied by cramming for tomorrow's exam or t oday is your day off from work, a rare moment of relaxing with your friends makes your spare time fulfilling. Visiting different places and meeting new people creates memorable experiences. Whethet your activities range from ski trips to Colorado, to taking a refreshing dip in a swimming pool, these special moments can be cherished by all as THIS AND THAT.
I have watched you grow from a time of insecurity t o a place of acceptance of life-of yourself. You have learned to express your emotions rather than smothering or denying them. You understand and h ave learned to communicate your understanding to o thers. And because of this, I have grown
We find meaning in life, not only through happiness, but through sorrow.
Accept your sorrow, learn from it and grow.
WHY WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW...
Travel, if you must, leave your home and find your highway, ride the desert lands and mountain tops. Do what you want, but don't forget what you have been, because what you are and what you wi 11 be cannot be separated from what you were before your travels began.

Life
A lifetime is a microscopic particle in history , but it is the only certainty we have of living. How many of us have wasted our alotted time by wishing we were "somebody"
Most of us don't want to die and leave our memories to decay and disintegrate like our mortal bodies. Only a random few will be remembered and the remaining populations must be content with what they are.
The future holds no certainty for men, so they must live only for now , sharing the pain and pleasure, the joys and sorrows of ... LIFE.
Varied activities make year fulfilling
Each day you reach out, trying to find yourself a little more , trying to find the real you, the real person inside. You joined clubs, became involved in school activities, activities outside of school; you met people and you got to know them.
You find the simple joy of a "Hey, I understand!" from one of the elementary students you've been trying to teach for weeks. You feel the excitement of upcoming sporting events, and the disappointments of a small turnout for the dance you've spent months and more planning. You see that as the semester draws to a close, you have learned something from the class you once thought was such a waste, even if your gain wasn't all academic.
You find that some of the clubs you joined weren't exactly your type of thing. Either you forgot about it and didn't participatei or completely dropped it because you considered it a total waste of time.
The year , whether spent studying, watching a lot of late night movies, rooting for your favorite team , learning the art of acting, managing your organization, or just plain messing around , all turned out to make the nine months spent at East High unforgetable.
Whether good or bad, your experiences all helped you grow , helped you learn, and most of all , helped you get a better picture of life.
Student Cou nci I
"A l l Student Council does is have parties."
"Student Council is a big farce."
"Council members treat us like we are just insignificant announcements in the big bulletin of life."
Such comments from students were often heard but not totally justified. Last year's council was marked by a concerted effort to make the group more responsive to students.
Its first step was to stop sponsoring dances and other social activities so that it could concentrate on the needs of students. Council members then embarked upon a new system of town hall meetings designed to bridge the communication gap with the student body. The meetings were successful and Student Council received many valuable opinions and ideas about various school problems. Students also found that the governing body was doing a great deal for them. One student was heard to remark, "Gee, I didn't know they were doing all that stuff."
Another major accomplishment of Student Council was the offering of mini courses after school. These subject areas ranged from macram~ to engine mechanics for girls. Students who had little time during the school day could take subjects of interest after school. The new courses were desig n ed to make education more relevant to the student.
During the year the counc i l also took care of many other concerns, among them the supervis i on of the student lounge and helping iron out open campus problems. A city-wide student excha n ge and supervision of school e l ections were othe r council projects.

Art Club
The Art Club this year was active with a Christmas party at which the member exchanged gifts and had a pot-luck supper. One member commented, "The Christmas dinner showed that some members were better cooks than artists."
Also during the year, Art Club arranged a field trip to Elephant Hall which concluded with dinner at the Cornhusker Hotel.
Art Club members involved themselves with making rings, earrings, and various other items to sell at the Art Cart. Another money raising • project the Art Club devised was a popcornball sale.
With the little time that there was for all involved in Art Club, most found it was a rewarding experience.

International Club
Becoming more aware of people around the world was one of the main objectives of International Club.
Through money raising projects led by Alison Moore, president, the club was able to sponsor two American Field Service students at East.
The selling of King's Food Host tickets, gummi bears, and an annual foreign dinner held in March, were some of the activities sponsored by International Club. In April an AFS carnival was held.
According to Mrs. Bonnie Bothe, one of the sponsors, the students enjoyed being involved in the club. Many members expressed the desire for more people to join. "I only wish more people would become interested, " stated one.
Another member concluded, "I found that people all over the world are really alike despite language barriers ."

PAC
Hear me, Muse!
I sing of Panathenaic Council, illustrious Greek-freaks who ever aim to instill Olympian tradition in the hearts of the coura g eous Spartans.
In ages past, Panathenaic heroes purchased
statues for t~e courtyard of Lincoln East Educational Complex.
PAC members met gregariously in 8-110, home of Hera and Mrs. June Williams , to plan their attack under the capable leadership of Chief Strategoi Steve Henderson, Amazon Janice Nelson, and Steph Kallas, stylist of the stylus and keeper of the drachma.
Although this year ' s Epicureans, (whose philosophy is to eat, drink and be merry , for tomorrow we graduate) celebrated on several
special occasions, the primary emphasis of the group continued to be service to the school.
As the words of Socrates, "All I know is I know nothing," resounded through the halls, and as grade reports, more powerful than a lightning bolt were passed out, many students perked up with nectar and ambrosia supp!ied by PAC.
These money-making efforts helped Panathenaic Council in its unending quest of the continued glorification of the courtyard.

Chess Club
"Con c entration is one o f the most important things to est ablish in a game of chess," stated Chess Club president Bruce Draney.
The competition this year has been a lot harder. Club activities were such that members could involve themselves in other similar interests. Meetings were held three times a week, where members would challenge one another to advance their experience in the art of moves.
Local cha I lenge matches prepared the members for the state championship meet which was held February 24.
Future Physicians
Future Physicians of America Club changed their approach to the field of medicine this year. "We want to encourage people interested in a ll health-related fields, not just those who want to be doctors," stated club president Ruth Auers. Guest speakers and films acted as catalysts for discussions as members explored their interest in medicine. The year was highlighted by a field trip to Norden Laboratories and observations of sur gery. The size of the club was also encouraging as one member commented , "This is the l argest club we've had and everyone is really enthusiastic."

Creative Writing
"What is East Winds? " was a familiar question heard this spring when the Creative Writing Club published the annual literary magazine.
East Winds is made up:. ;fart work , poems, and prose submitte d by the student body and the senior composition classes. A core committee, who was in charge of putting the book together, then selected the material.
Because of practical considerations, Creative Writing Club was made up of all students who were in a composition class. Producing the Ea st Winds proved to be a valuable experience, fo r many, as this was their first venture a t a publication.
Poetry is just one of the many genres included in East Winds :
As I listen to the sounds of silence, My mind opens to the world
Not knowing which steps to take, I listen to my conscience for guidance , And hope I make the right turn.

Decorating cafeteria: 'impossible' iob
Early Saturday morning after a hard night of cheering our team to a decisive win over Lincoln High, we Pep Club girls wandered sleepily into the East High cafeteria to begin our job, or rather try to begin our job of doing the impossible decorate for homecoming.
As the girls began to wander in minus everything from make-up to shoes, our bleak cafeteria began to take shape for our traditional theme, "Return of the Spartans 1972." The hands of the clock crept quickly to the noon hour and the decorating was called to a halt. The cafeteria was a new room with a new atmosphere, now all it had to do was survive the night.
Surprise was the feeling of many as they entered the dark beauty of the cafeteria that night. Surprise for those girls who had decorated •that afternoon to find that none of the decorations
had fallen, and to others to see their. own noon time madhouse transformed into such subdued elegance. Music was provided by the Chancel Iors, playing for each couple their own special song. Remember when you first decided to walk across the bridge thinking all the way you could feel it crashing in? Or maybe you remember the look on your parents face as you left for the dance with your date. Maybe you kept thinking how your food managed to keep landing in your lap instead of your mouth. But most of all maybe you just remember the dance and how much fun you had.
Homecoming 1972 happened only once for all of us, but it was a memorable night we probably never will forget. All kinds of little things happened to make it a special night for all of us, but it is the little things that count. .. the I ittle things that make it a night we' 11 always remember.
Kim Underdahl and Ritch Stitcher find that the courtyard provides a good place for conversation between dc;1nces. Pep Club furnished time and money to create the Return of the Spartans. Homecoming queen and king: Beth Ballew, Brian Breed
The Return of the Spartans was the th eme of the 1972 East High homecoming with the Chancellors providing the music.

Details make musical an experience •
"Damn, damn, damn, I've grown accustomed to her face;" though this line was reserved for Henry Higgins, it pertained to the entire cast of "My Fair Lady." Growing accustomed to practices, memorization, painting, praying for six weeks and concluding in three nights.
The songs, the lines, the costumes, the set, the actors, no one aspect can be singled out for making "My Fair Lady" the success it was, everything was blended perfectly.
Under the direction of Jon Peterson, and his
assistants Rita Smith and Kim Olson, the musical reached its peak each and every perform a nee.
Losing a mustache here and there; substituting garlic bread for strawberry tarts didn't leave Colonel Pickering too enticing for his waltz with Mrs. Higgins; pushing sets which didn't always go in the right direction; playing hide and go seek with underwear; having a nip and tuck battle selling tickets; girls padding themselves in the proper places to make their dreams of womanhood come true; all details helped to make "My Fair Lady" an experience that no East Singer will forget.
"Tonight, tonight, you did it, you did it, you did it," I knew that you could do it , "My Fair Lady," and succeed you did.
"I could have danced all night ," exuberantly sings Liza Doolittle after an enchanting evening spent with Henry Higgins.

London is the setting for 'Threepenny'
Picture the year 1850, set the stage in Soho London, England, add to this hoods, beggers, whores and the like. Sound like a play? It was the all-school production of Bertoldt Brecht's and Kurt Weill's " The Threepenny Opera."
"Threepenny Opera" is a story about a man who heads the local underground blackmarket operations. This man is known as Mack the Knife . His love patterns lead him into many marriages and the story revolves around his latest. Polly Peachum is the latest victim. As soon as Polly's parents discover that she has married Mackie, they plot to get him hanged.
Through his connections in town, Mackie learns that he is being sought and plans a tactful retreat via his Thursday night visit t<? Jenny Diver, who turns him into the police. After all the chase scenes, capture sequence and the mournful songs, the play comes down to the do or die for Mackie.
Mackie, faced with a noose around his neck, three claiming wives, mixed emotion crowds, and the coronation, was through with life until the last minute-note from the queen
grants his pardon because of her coronation.
As in any group there are always the problems of missed lines, lost and mislayed props, trying honestly to break a leg, long rehearsals that seemed to be longer than they were, arguments on how to do the ptay, building steps to the platforms that would not tilt or wobble, adapting to fight against a fear of heights , making a jail that would not melt when touched , covering for props that cracked and broke during a performance, and the pleasure of being in the performance.

Unique Senior Ball breaks tradition
This definitely was the year of the class of '73. We were a unique class, and this year's Senior Ball was evidence for that claim. The only tradition we followed was having the dance. After months of careful preparation (and helped by the reputation of last year's Senior Ball) we selected the East High cafeteria for our memorable night out.
The dance was an enigma. It was almost possible to go to the Senior Ball three times in less than two months. The date of the bal I was kept a mystery until the organizers finally found
a definite night. The location had everyone's heads spinning and found the kids in younger classes glad they weren't going. The time of the bal I was not even known - we wandered in when the mood struck us, and left when the music stopped.
But when parties after the ball had dwindled in numbers and tired couples said their "good nights," we realized that through all the mixedup plans and Mr. Huge's lectures, our class could have a good time just being together. The whole school knew, "There never was, there'll never be, ANOTHER class like '73 ! !"
Dionysia
"What's the Dionysia?" The D ionysia was the new name for the annual Sadie Hawkins dance that was held in the East High cafeteria. "But why is it called the Dionysia?" This year Panathenaic Council, or more commonly known as PAC, sponsored Sadie Hawkins. Even decorations and the traditions of getting married, having your picture taken, and the Sadie Hawkins king and queen were the same.
As usual the annual Sadie Hawkins broke the book-and-bell boredom of winter studies and was the climax for many unsuspecting young
By a loud round of applause, Stephanie French and Tom Moore are chose n king and queen. men.
At the girls' initiative , the Dionysia was a good place for newly-four1d couples to get to know each other . The "His and Hers" turned out to be a nice place for a hillbilly couple to talk.

:Juniors voice displeasure with tie, while • seniors
Meeting new friends, working with old ones ... painting the floors ... throwing paint on each other ... long distance phone calls ... insufficient supplies of blue and white streamers at neighborhood stores missing overhead projectors playing "ladder, ladder, who has the ladder?" ... paint without brushes ... and participating in a spirit week that tried to instill enthusiasm in everyone.
If there is a lack of spirit, it was not shown
during spirit week. "This was one of the best spirit weeks we've had for a long time," stated one senior. There seemed to be more people involved than in other years which made the whole ordeal more enjoyable.
Comments ranged from, "I think that we should have spirit week, but not be judged on it. After all we're doing this for the school as a whole, not for the trophy." to "We could have used teachers if we had wanted to."
As quick as spirit week came, it ended leaving the class of '75, sophomores, in fourth place, freshmen in third, and a tie between the juniors and seniors. Officially it went down as a tie in the books, but the trophy was awarded to the class of '73. The seniors were praised for not catching senioritus.
"We've got spirit, yes, we do! We've got spirit, how 'bout you?" will remind us of spirit week 1972.

DECA
Have you ever thought about the buying habits of people? This was the main thought of the students in this year's DECA Club. Their project, creative marketing, dealt with a study on the buying habits of Lincoln residents. This plan was submitted at the state conference in March at Omaha.
The DECA bookstore and before-school concessions were the main fund-raising projects. Th is money enabled the students to attend the conferences which were held.
Because of the many projects and activities of the club, DECA found the need for president Lori Anderson, vice-presidents Marv Adamson and Steve Adams, secretary Mary Murray and treasurer Norm Jackman.
DECA members get together for a final meeting before going to the annual DECA Conference this year , which was held in Omaha. Many individual as well as group awards were give n

Learning skills and techniques are the most important elements in business administration. This was the over-all theme of Business Club.
Business Club consisted of 25 girls, yet this didn't mean it was closed to boys. All who wanted to learn about business and its future were welcome to come.
Business Club not only taught skills but it prepared its members for full and part-time placement in a firm or company.
Field trips to State Farm Insurance Company and Latsch's gave the members a view of management that might not have been seen.

Debate
A hush settles over them as the announcements begin. All sixteen listen intently as the disembodied voice embarks upon its daily trek through a myriad of trivia. Then it ends and their hearts drop, but suddenly the voice returns, saying, "Oh, yes, the East High Debate Squads won two more trophies at a tournament they attended last weekend. Our sincere congratulations." ·
Their hopes realized, the debators returned to their normal routine of polishing new trophies and preparing for the next week's contest.
This was the picture of the debate room every Monday after a busy weekend of traveling to tournaments throughout the state. Teams from East traveled over 1000 miles throughout this year. The work paid off in recognition as well as awards. The Oracle pre-empted fewer debate stories than in the past. The announcements regularly hailed debate achievements. Even Pep Club managed to throw a few signs of encouragement in the debators' direction.
Though more recognition has been received, the debators still largely remain a no-name squad. One debator commented, "People still scoff at the sport and its participants. Nevertheless the team continues, satisfied with the fact that it is ably representing its school. When the days of our football and basketball dominance are over , the student body can be comforted with the thought that debate will still provide a winner for East High."

Crank
A unique club organized this year was the Crank Club. It was dedicated to the purpose of bringing those students not involved in sports to a closer understanding of the athletic processes. These wel I-weeded individuals , handpicked from different fields of interest, played in an assortment of intramural games and participated in other extracurricular activities.
Each member seemed to feel a sense of pride from being associated with Crank, but the club's asset to the school was never clearly determined. This, however, did not hinder the spirit which motivated Crank.
One member commented, "Crank seemed • to make me feel at home in the massive halls of East High."
Dionysians
As revivals reign on Broadway, Lincoln East has also experienced a revival. Dionysians, East's drama club, was revived after lying dormant for several years. Al I participants were also granted membership in the International Thespian Society. •
In order to promote the performing arts, the Dionysians' activities included a student-directed play and the presentation of "Hamlet" with faculty and student actors.
Dionysians also played a major part in sponsoring mini-courses in make-up, mime, and an acting work-shop.

Do llfins
All corners of the world were brought together in the annual Dollfin synchronized swim show. The theme, "It's a small world," was carried out by 30 girls who co-ordinated 15 acts including the finale in which "all the people of the world" joined together.
Wet hair, swimsuits, and an "aroma of chlorine" became the girls' attire for weeks
preceding the show. Elaborate costumes, music, and dancing were used to create the mood of each individual nation. This year dancing around the edges of the pool was done in addition to the girls' under water activities. Emcees gave the girls added time to prepare for their next act.
A memorable performance by the Dollfins made Walt Disney's dream come alive when he said, "It is a small world, after all."

Oracle
"How do you crop a picture?" "Where is a pica stick?" "What is a pica stick?" "Will someone please tell me what I'm 'sposed to be doing?"
At the beginning of the year, when most of the Oracle staff was new to working on a publication, these and other such comments could frequently be heard in B-158 seventh period. But soon everyone (well, almost everyone!) caught on to the idea that hopefully an interesting, informative and self-supporting paper could emerge from the journalism room every other Thursday.
Procrastination was one of the Oracle's worst enemies as the staffers struggled to get advertising and copy completed and handed in in time to meet the all too inescapable and foreboding deadlines. This affected each member of the staff at one time or another and was complicated by such symptoms as an ad salesman who was embarrassed to call a certain company to sel I an ad, by other staffers who made faces at the blushing salesman as she tried to talk to her client on the phone, and by the
client who finally produced the ad the night before the paper was to come out. This kind of thing was known to give the adviser severe headaches and occasional sleepless nights.
Spendin g hours proofreading at the printers , remakin g a layout three times, staying after school until 5 o'clock then coming back at 7 o'clock to develop pictures, trying to think of a clever and original line for an ad - these were some of the things that became "routine" for staff members. But, as everone knows, all work and no play makes the Oracle staff a dull bunch, so imagination was used to devise new and different ways to relieve the occasional boredom. Making "creative" calendars, selling concessions, and playing football and baseball with a paper wad and a ruler were some of the things the intellectual staff members found relaxing in their spare time.
"You learn a lot working on a staff like this," mused one member. "But I think the most important thing I've learned is that a group of individuals can work together to produce something the whole group can be proud of."
To raise money to pay off a sizeable debt, the staff members sold concessions

Epic
On a cool, soggy spring day in 1972, eighteen individuals became a new family, whose sole purpose for the next 12 months was to produce the 1973 Epic.
Every sixth period the Epic staff met to plan, organize, and produce a yearbook which took up the majority of the staffers' time. Their time was not always spent on drawing layouts, writing copy, taking and processing photographs, checking pages for mistakes, running to the typographers, and waiting for the book ·itself. But the staff also found time for late night campfires at Pioneers Park ... birthday parties during class kidnapping the adviser on her birthday ... getting a box fu 11 of manure ... working after school and late nights
with eased characters having their group picture taken in the middle of a cow pastu r e rubber cement fights ~iding from frantic coaches after pictures playing moldy oldies ... a joint Oracle-Epic Christmas party ... turning the darkroom into a wading pool ... initiation of the next year's staff before the journalism banquet. . . and finally the annual Valentino's pizza party the night before the books arrived.
During other time that was not devoted toward working on the yearbook, the staff found themselves involved in conventions to further their abilities, making a commun·cations short for a local TV station about East High, entering annual contests and working on the formation of a Journalism Club to receive credit and activity points.
"The 1973 Epic Staff decided to try a new format, starting from scratch, and we suffered many setbacks, had arguments, and indecisions in order to put out a different type of yearbook. But without the various episodes in the past year we would have never made it," commented editor in chief, Bob Thompson:
Copy Editor Robyn Ramsey spent many hours checking names for mug shots.
An Epic staff meeting usually proved to be a hectic experience. Meetings were held 6th period, Saturday mornings and student vacation days at 8:30.
Singers
Knowing you are the best is a fantastic experience which is felt by someone only a few times during the span of his life. It was this feeling of supremacy that gave East Singers confidence to strive to become a great group of vocalists. With concerts scattered throughout the year, Singers first proved their ability to work well as a group when all of their 88 members combined efforts in the production of "My Fair Lady."
Swing Choir
"Remember the time on our way to sing when the car broke down in the middle of Capital Parkway? We took off running in the pouring rain to a gas station. When we got there we were soaking wet and they didn't even help us ... "
This was one of the many challenging situations Swing Choir faced on their way to performances. During the year the group, composed of twelve vocalists and an accompanist, entertained for schools, clubs, conventions and had the honor of being invited to sing at Hastings College.
One member commented, "Swing Choir is a lot of fun, especially since we get out of school so much."
The group felt Swing Choir had given them more experience and confidence in performing in front of an audience. "The friendships that have grown within the group makes me glad I'm part of Swing Choir," one member concluded.
As the year progressed, Singers soon found themselves performing a series of concerts in order to raise money for a trip to Kansas City to perform for the National Choral Directors Association convention This is an accomplishment that was achieved by only three other high school choirs in the nation.
Singers were kept busy this year with many other activities. Besides participating in a Christmas assembly, Singers' warm voices filled the wintery night air during their traditional Christmas caroling. There were various cast parties and the frequent singing of "Happy Birthday" to any member whose birthday became "known" to the group.

Marching Band
"Band, ten-hut! Instruments up!" A whistle blows. People in scattered formations split into mass confusion. Another whistle blows. "Ok, let's go back and try it again!"
This was a familiar part in the daily routine of the illustrious and rather controversial East High Marching Band. This was a building year for the band, as many of last year's bandsmen graduated. Under the leadership of a new director, Robert Colwell, the band, though largely inexperienced, came through the season after a rather "rocky" start. Mr. Colwell commented, "The marching band did a fine job and I am looking forward to a great band next year."

Orchestra
"The orchestra members are the highest calibre students, musically," commented Mr. Robert Colwell.
The orchestra gave a successful, housepacked concert early in the school year and many other such concerts were held throughout the year.
With over one-half of the members also in the Lincoln Youth Symphony, this added experience and it was found to be an essential asset fo their success. The youth symphony members will be going on tour of Europe during the summer.
After the All-City Orchestra Festival in March, pr_eparation began for the final concert which was held in May. The many senior soloists were featured in the concert.
Stage Band
Stage Band is composed of 19 members. Their music varied from the "big band" sound of the '40's to contemporary rock. The Stage Band took on a different project this year. They cut down in sound and played the accompaniment for "Three Penny Opera." Their versatility in playing so many kinds of music made Stage Band an interesting group to listen to. They also played for several junior high audiences across Lincoln. They participated in a clinic at Wesleyan and again played for the "Expressions" concert.
Stage Band also attended several other music clinics throughout the year, o"ne of which was a clinic attended by some of the better stage ban ds fr o m Nebraska and Iowa.

Maiorettes
Some people may wonder what a majorette really is and does. Well, she's someone who wears a short outfit in 20° weather; someone who gets hassled by a clown during a parade; someone who follows in t he hoofsteps of horses in that same parade ; someone whose uniform sheds blue fuzzies; someone who makes 40
carameled apples for a bake sale; someone who, while practicing with fire, ends up with shorter eyelashes and a few less hairs
Someone who is "accidentally" bumped from behind by a trombone; someone who collides with the drum major during a halftime show; someone who practices long hours during football season; someone who gets a 1 in advanced band; someone who is part of the craziest looking "E" in the history of the school;
someone who salutes a non-existent flag during the "Star Spangled Banner"
Someone who wonders whatever possessedher to try out in the first place; someone who is responsible for bodily harm done to those unfortunate enough to be passing through the hall during a practice; someone who very quickly learns to hate dill pickles; but most of al I she is someone who is glad for the experience of having been a majorette.

Spirit Club
Throughout the year blue and white '75 hats declared the presence of the Sophomore Spirit Club. Any tenth grade girl willing to promote "sophomore spirit" within the class and at athletic events was eligible to join the organization.
Membership of over 100 girls created a problem of keeping everyone involved. "It seems like four or five girls do everything," commented one member.
Although support of sophomore athletics was the main objective, the club also cheered for many reserve and varsity competitions.
One of the most exciting experiences cited by many members was the footbal I migration to Fremont. "A lot of us had never ridden on a bus as a group and didn't know how much fun it could be," recalled one member.
Many club members spent an otherwise free evening creating posters, booster buttons, and locker signs in support of the favored sophomore athletes.
Whether it was making signs, cheering the team on, or just having fun, the ·sophomore girls made evident the "spirit of '75."

E Club
The 1972-73 E Club was one of some controversy because they spent a large sum of money to install a stereo in the senior high locker rooms. They had accumulated a large bank account over a few years, and decided that there was no better way to spend their money.
Most of E Club's money was raised by the sale of programs at football and basketball games.
Many of those outside E Club objected to the stereo because of the "pure selfishness" of it. But as one member commented, "Who has a better right to the money than the people who earned it?"
Besides buying a stereo for the locker room, E Club funded the weight room, used by everyone including Bob Hayes, Joe Collura, and Steve Gade

Cheerleaders
Even though the word "cheerleading" remains the same throughout the years, every year brings a new group of girls and different experiences. It was inevitable that these ten girls were to become close friends.
It all began the morning they were awakened from worried sleep to be kidnapped, and strained their eyes to see who else had made it. Through hugs and tears, it became an unbelievable morning!
Summer came, and the cheerleaders attended the Wesleyan Cheerleader Clinic for a week. At the end of the week, it proved to be worthwhile for they won the coveted "spirit stick " for all-around spirit during the week.
During "their" year, the cheerleaders raised
Cathy Slocum
money through such things as a garage sale, pop bottle drive , bake sale, and the selling of "Spartan power" booster buttons. The money was used for house signs and gifts for the athletes.
In addition to fun times, cheerleading also meant a lot of work, in fact, more than was at first expected. Much practice was needed to get the girls in shape for crowd appearances. Pep rallies needed to be planned and new ideas for gifts had to pop up constantly. It proved to be time-consuming and sometimes costly.
The tie of the Northeast-East football game and winning the State Championship missing the interstate exits when going out of town jumping the fence at Seacrest on a moonlit night "pigging" their faces forgetting a cheer these memories will be hard to forget. The girls will always remember their friendships and a gre at year together, and many wish they could live it over because it went by all too fast.

Nikians
Pep Club's emphasis this year was on the girls themselves and their personal enrichment through participation in Nikians.
The voting membership of Pep Club changed the uniform skirts and added year patches to the sweaters. Just as they came in vogue, saddle shoes were abandoned for blue shoes of the girls' choice. Points required for juniors wanting to try out for cheerleader were raised with the hope that only the most deserving girls would be chosen.
Minor sports enjoyed the much improved support given to them by the Nikians. Special t-shirts were created to be worn to the swimming meets where Nikians filled the stands meet after
meet.
Squadleaders and chairmen held special activities to separate themselves from the rest of Pep Club. Before the all-important Lincoln High swim meet they went out to dinner together and arrived in mass at the meet. To show their appreciation to the swimmers at the end of their long season, they kidnapped them and then treated them to dinner at Valentino's.
As a reward for their work, Nikians who ha c over 125 points received either a Spartan pin or a Spartan power charm as a remembrance of their year's efforts. Plans for the future included the possible formation of a drill team and revamping of the point system.

ENERGY: st rength, power, or spirit shown in words or actio n Does this definition remind you of an East competitor? It may sound a bit corny, but the Spartan athletes had to show energy just to go out for a team. As certain faculty members would say, they have changed their potential energy to kinetic energy.
This group of athletes was not expected to show much this year. How reminiscent of East's fi rst several years of existence. But this year's athletes had a tradition to live up to. They also contended with the.rivalries that follow with each sport.
With these facts in mind they surpassed all expectations. Of course not every team was a state contender, but those teams never gave in, they gave 100 % , and 1% mo!"e.
Keep in mind that these competitors took three months of their school year, minimum, and altered their whole life style for that period of time. Whether sports is your bag or not makes no difference, you have to appreciate their spirit , or energy.

Spartan dream comes true-# l • again
Number one again? You've gotta be kidding, only the University of Nebraska does things like that! But no one was kidding, especially not the East High football team as they captured their second straight State Football Championship.
Led by their tight defense , never giving up more than eight points in a game, East rolled to an 8-0-1 season, with the tie coming against cross town rival Northeast. The Spartans shut out three of their nine opponents in allowing only 40 points to be scored upon them all season. In the meantime the offense was busy scoring 222 total points , an average of 24.6 points per game.
"At the start of the season we knew we could have a good year, and the team proved it by filling the holes left by last year's seniors," commented head coach Lee Zentic. " We had several question marks at the beginning of the season , but we were pleasantly surprised by Doug Arkfeld, Rick Carr, Dennis Payne, Toby Churchill , Bill Holmes, and Pat Scott, who performed very wel I for us."
The Spartans began their trek to the state championship by crushing the wishbone attack of Grand Island, 23-3. Playing at home the following week, the gridders, after fumbling on three out of their first four offensive positions, pulled themselves together to overcome the Hastings Tigers, 34-8.
It looked as if East would have one of those years when nothing goes wrong, but the Northeast Rockets had not yet been encountered. In a truly physical battle, the defenses prevailed as the score ended up 7-7. One may look at the score
and conclude that the teams were evenly matched, but no member of East's team would admit it. They knew that they had not played their usual offensive battle, but there was no looking back because the Spartans had to prepare for Lincoln High.
The usually tough Links folded under East s powerfu I offensive attack, as East got back on the winning track, 28-7.
Next - came the three shutouts. East methodically rolled over Fremont, Topeka, Kansas, and Southeast, by scores of 30-0 , 14-0, and 23-0, respectively.
The toughest of the three games was against Topeka who never scored but threatened several times with long drives, only to be held in c heck by Ea st's defense deep in Spartan territory. The Spartans used their second string offensive backfield for nearly the whole game due to injuries. They didn't seem to be second stringers though , as the running game proved nearly as effective.
McCook had to be the bright spot on the season offensively as East exploded for 42 points and halfback Pat Lehigh rushed for 100 yards. The always tough defense made the job even easier holding McCook to only eight points.
The last game of the season put a scare into the Spartans when the Pius X Thunderbolts scored first. The Spartans came back, however , and put three more scores on the board to win it 21-7.
"We knew we could count on our regular standouts such as Reg Gast, Joe Collura , Kurt Stacey, and Pat Lehigh. But when the rest of the team puts out that way you know you have a good team."
"Chop 'em!"

Reserve CCC record best season
The Spartan reserve gridders staved off attempts by Pius X and Northeast, to retain their now-traditional title of Capital City Champs.
" I think the big reason for our success this season was our consistent improvement every week," stated coach Bob Eyth. Coach Eyth obviously knew what he was talking about as the junior varsity methodically disposed of all eight of their opponents, making this the reserve's best season's effort. In previous years , the best had been a 7-0 season mark.
The closest decision came in the last game against the tough defense of Northeast, which held East to seven points, but this wasn't sufficient as the East defense proved to be even more capable as East won 7-0 in the freezing wet weather.
" The Spartans scored an average of 24.5 points per game and held their opposition to an astounding 2.5 points per game. With scoring like that you can't lose," commented Eyth
. East's performan·ces were supported by Ti m Birdsall , voted outstanding lineman , Steve Rodenburg , voted outstanding back, Curt Hedberg , leading receiver , Doug Streitwieser, leader in interception 5 with ten (a new reserve record) , Randy Palmer , leading tackler, and Jim Dennis, leading scorer who was injured in the sixth game against Fremont, and still managed t c retain the title.
Another key to success, according to Eyth, was assistant coach Paul Forch, "He always do e a real fine job in preparing our lineman." Apparently coach Eyth knew what he was talki r about here, too.

Sophomores forced to share city title
The sophomore football team went throu·gh the first five games of their season without so much as giving up one point, only to see all their hopes crash on their final outing with Northeast.
The Spartans started off their season with wins over Pius X, 14-0, and Beatrice, 41-0. The Spartan defense then pulled them through a bout with Lincoln High by the score of 6-0. The sophs rambled on through the Southeast squad and the Syracuse varsity by scores of 14-0 and 18-0, respectively.
The big blow to the sophomores came on a cold and rainy Saturday in late October against
the fired up Northeast Rockets, who displayed ar amazing running game along with a stingy defense that kept the East squad scoreless.
In the first half it was the Rocket's ability to keep the ball moving that took the score to 20-0 In the final two quarters East tried to play catch up and made several mistakes while Northeast played virtually errorless ball control.
This loss ended East's hopes of sole possession of the city championship and forced them into a tie with the Rockets, who had lost earlier to Southeast.

Indeed it was a good season after an impressive first place finish in the season opening Lincoln Public Schools tournament, East soon commanded respect from all contenders in the battle for c i ty wide dominance.
Coach No rth was especially pleased with t he pe r fo r mances of underclassmen Curtis Banister
and Peter Allman, who combined their efforts to support the bottom of. the team ladder while enroute to the Trans-Nebraska number two doubles championship.
As the season progressed so did the efficieney of the East High squad. After a tie for first in the Fremont Invitational, and a second place finish in the Trans-Nebraska conference meet, the East High netters finished the season w i th a fifth place ranking in the state tournament.
Coach North is also quite pleased with nex t year's outlook, with three lettermen and the members of the city championship reserve team returning nexrfall, it looks as though East will retain its position as a powerful state contender

Ha rriers plagued by lack of intere st
The East harriers tried to build on their six returning lettermen this year but a crucial injury and a small turnout accounted for a winless season. Mark Hartman , the team's number one runner, was sidelined halfway through the season due to an appendectomy, and to such a small corps of runners , thrs was a damaging blow. Helping to fill the gap left by Hartman was sophomore Doug Carver, who transferred from Chicago midway through the season.
The team was also hurt by the fact that some of their better runners decided that cross
country was not for them.
The high point of the season for the runners was the city meet where the team's five man average dropped fo a very fine ten minutes eleven seconds for the two mi le Pioneers Park course. Even so East came up last in the meet due to the strength of the other three Lincoln schools.
"Some marked progress was noted toward the end of the season, which lends an optimistic air to next year's season," commented coach Jim McConnell.

Gymnasts find going rough • district
East High came up with what coach Phil Sprague and the gymnastics team considered the fifth best team in the state, behind the other three Lincoln public schools and Grand Island. East, however, could not place in the team finals at the state meet because of the elimination rule of the tough Lincoln district. The rule is that only the top two teams in the district meet can qualify for the state team championship. The Spartans placed fourth in the meet and did not qualify.
After a good 5-4 dual meet season with the losses coming to the above mentioned teams, and a fifth place Trans-Nebraska conference
finish, East managed to qualify seven men for the state individual championships. Among them was senior Mike Buckner who finished the season undefeated on the side-horse, and wound up being East's only state champion. Other finishers were sophomores Tracy Turner, Dave Weakland, and Dave Lehnert. Turner was runner - up on the long-horse and fifth on the horizontal bar, Weakland finished tenth on the side-horse, and Lehnert placed tenth on the trampoline.

The ten membe r varsity team consisted of four sophomo res, four juniors, and two seniors, Pat Halama and Toni Churchill. A ten-member reserve team was coached by Jan Fenemore all of whom will be returning next year, except for senior Cathy Lewis.

The duckies then finished fifth out of a field of 22 in the second annual East High Invitational meet , which is the equivalent of a state meet. "Last year when only half as many teams competed in the big meet , the c ompetition was not nearly as fierce," cited coach Dennis Vokolek.
" Our outlook for next year is fantastic," commented Vokolek. " We only had one senior this year, Sally Haun, and we'll miss her strength in the butterfly and the individual medley, but with that many underclassmen and looking back on this year's season, it's just great!"

Cagers provide no lack of excitemen
The Spartan cagers failed to win a state tournament birth, but they may well have provided their fans with the most exciting overall season in East's history. Seven of their seventeen games were decided by five points or less, with two going into overtime.
They started their season with a glimpse of what was in store for them, by opening against Southeast with a narrow two point win. Senior Rick Samuelson showed what was to be seasonlong scoring leadership by canning 26. As if that wasn't enough, East's second game, against Lincoln High, went into overtime in a lowscoring battle with East winnihg, 43-41.
Next East stomped Omaha Central, a team believed to be a state power, 71-36, and Pius X, 70-27.
Kearney proved to be a worthy opponent, although East bested the out-state power, 82-73. The Spartans easily trounced Beatrice, McCook, and North Platte, giving East's subs a chance for valuable experience.
Arch-rival Northeast came up next and nipped the Spartans 61-60 in an intra-city battle that typified East-Northeast clashes. The Rockets led 28-25 at halftime, but the Spartans regained the lead at 44-43, at the end of the third quarter. The last quarter was a coach's nightmare, with a one point lead swinging from one team to the other, and both teams having an equal chance to gain victory.
Omaha Tech proved to be another barnburner with the Trojans nipping East, 70-67, in overtime. East then pulled themselves together and scored a 53-48 victory against upsetminded Fremont. The Spartans continued their winning ways by handily defeating Southeast for the second time, 64-54. •
Playing Lincoln High for the second time,
East lost their defense and ended up short, by th score of 57-48. That was quickly blotted from the Spartans' minds because they had only five days to prepare for a rematch with Northeast. This seemed to pay off as the Spartans outshot the Rockets 66-61, with seniors Rick Samuelson and Marv Adamson pacing East with 20 and 18 points, respectively. East had a comfortable 10 point bulge late in the game, but while Northeas refused to quit, East held to win. This victory tiec the two teams for the city championship.
The last two regular season games were · anticlimactic compared with the rest of the season, as East beat Hastings 73-42, and Grand Island 67-62.
The first district game prt)Ved to be East's last, as they had the misfortune to draw Northeast in the first round. The Spartans were unbelievably cold from the field, and the absence of teamwork showed as they fell 58-42. East showed a glimpse of their former play in the third quarter by chopping a 26 point deficit to 14 points, but Northeast capitalized on East's inahiiity to control the Rocket's Terry Novak and held on for the win.
Inconsistency was the Spartans ' downfall, though they did lead the class A rankings for much of the season. The tough Lincoln district was another factor as three of East's four defeats came from Lincoln teams, two of those three from state leader Northeast.
Leading the team all year were starting seniors Reg Gast, Kurt Stacey, Rick Samuelson and Marv Adamson, and junior center Curt Hedberg. Senior Jim Spahn helped solve some of coach Paul Forch's rebounding worries and senior Rusty Reckewey spurred the Spartans on numerous occasions with his long-range shooting and ball handling.

JV1 s capture City and Trans-Nebraska
With only a few men returning from last year's squad, the hopes for this year's junior varsity basketbal I team appeared bleak. But by combining desire with excellent leadership, they turned the tables completely around and produced not only a city, but also a TransNebraska championship team.
A major factor in the varied achievements of the reserve squad was their ability to adjust well to a given situation. Using a man-to-man pressure defense, and an effective, deliberate offense, the reserves out-scored their opponents by an average of ten points per game.
Led by the all-around ability of junior Mark
Alquist, the JV's achieved almost every goal they had set out for. Even though they did not acquire a perfect season record, they came very close by tying the all-time best of 12-4.
An advantage this year's team had over previous teams was that no matter who was on the court, the rest of the team was confident he could get the job done. "We had twelve basketball players who could play ball," stated coach Ed McPherren , who was obviously quite pleased with his team.
Sparked both offensively and defensively by such players as sophomore Karl Voss, this year's JV team succeeded in its major purpose: producing seasoned players for the varsity squad.

Sophomores obtain respectable record
After a slow shakey start, the sophomore team accumulated a respectable 7-5 season record. The sophomore cagers utilized a sticky one-three-one trap defense and their running ability throughout the season.
These two factors contributed a great dea I i n defeating their opponents with impressive wins such as 58-39 over Papillion , and 62-48 over Millard. Their excellent use of the fast break wa s complemented by the fine effort of defensive reboundin g put forth by Gordon Thiessin and John Seiko.
When asked why the team showed a definite improvement as the season progressed, coach Ken Rippe replied, ' 1yYe learned to play better team ball as the year went on."
Although behind many times during the season , East's " desire to win" often dictated the
eventual outcome of the game. Sparked throughout the season by guards Brian Schmidt and Scott Shottenkirk, the sophs obtained a finesse offensively , and ended the season with a • bal anced team.

Wrestlers go undefeated; Carr takes stat e
What must a wrestler go through? One mw only watch a wrestler throughout the day to see the sacrifices he makes. At lunchtime usually there were wrestlers weighing themselves to se e if they had made their weight limit. The meals were summarized by one matman who groane d "I wish I could have more than an orange for lunch."
In the end, it was worth it as the East High wrestling team finished the season with a 10-0dual record and placed sixth in the state meet i what was termed by coach Jim Holechek as "a rebuilding year."
Highlighting the state meet was senior Ri ck Carr, who topped off an undefeated season in the 167 pound championship, and a runner-up finish at 185 hy senior Doug O'Mara. Carr typified the dedication of the team as he weighed 185 before the season, but worked h is way down to 167 for every meet.

The East swimmers, led by senior pride but backed by sophomore and junior depth, went undefeated on the season and grabbed second place at the state meet. The first place team at state, Omaha Westside, had been beaten by the Spartans earlier in the season at the Ralston Relays. This fact helped to make the runner-up finish a little easier to take for coach Dennis Vokolek and the team.
The Spartans began the season with two big wins over future Trans-Nebraska runner-up Hastings, 50-45, and future third place state finisher Southeast, 54-41. The Hastings meet was won with a slightly weakened line-up where several Spartans swam events other than their own. Southeast was opposed by a full st rength Spartan line-up and East pulled it out in the last relay to crush the Knight's hopes. Southeast was never to come as close in the four following meets with East.
Dual meets with Ralston and Sioux City North proved to be merely primers for East's well-balanced squad with Ralston falling before the Christmas vacation and Sioux City North
Tankers achieve best season reco
coming directly after.
One of the high l ights of the season was the vict o ry over defending state c h ampion, Westside, in the relays at Ralston. Westside to Nebraska swimming is like Indiana to collegiate swimming. One team member was heard on the bus trip to Ralston saying, "We might have a shot at 'em, but we'll get second for sure!" Such was the apprehensiveness of the Spartans, but as the meet progressed, and East kept finishing at or near the top, the ent h usiasm shot up like a rocket.
When the last relay was over and East had dethroned Westside 326 to 282, there was a feeling of satisfaction wi t hin every member of the team. The clincher to coach Vokolek was not the team trophy, but the challenge of a dual meet made by Westside's head coach after the relays were over. Coach Vokolek commented, "My greatest pride was humbling Westside for the first time in East's history."
The Spartans were on cloud nine as they marched over Northeast a n d Millard, beating them by phenomenal scores. Lincoln High
proved to be to u g her, but East co u ldn't be held from avenging itself of the one point loss to the Links a year earlier. The Spa rtans triumphed 54-41.
After East put Grand Island out of action by using reserve swimmers, coach Vokolek clinch e1 East's first undefeated dual meet season with a win at Fremont, 60-35. This fulfilled one of the team's season goals and proved that East was nc a Cinderella team, but a true state power.
The two biggest meets of the season were yet to come. Trans-Nebraska was first up and East used its superb depth to capture the team championship by 26 points over runner-up Hastings. An elated coach Vokolek commented , "If you can perform in the big meets, you are truly a championship team. That's where you put it all together and get your best times. We managed to do just that!"
The tankers coasted through city relays an buried the other three teams, never placing below second in any relay. After a week of individualized workouts the Spartans were rea d for state.
The two-day meet challenged the Spartan ' '> depth severely because Westside had picked u r, several swimmers at. the semester break. Every team member believed the Spartans had a sho t state and after the Spartans qualified 16 memb e. to finals, only three behind Wesi:side, there w as still a hope. But Westside power overwhelmed East in the end.
East. had the satisfaction of pressing Wests i r closer than any team previously in the state meet, and humiliating them at Ralston by the u of Westside's own weapon, depth.
The combination of a dedicated coach an< team spirit pulled the seemingly med i ocre swimmers stra i ght to t h e top.

It looked like the weather would be the toughest foe for the East High baseball team as practice started on March 5, with cold and rain. But under the experienced supervision of coaches Rudy Stoehr and John Henry, the team got in some good practices and were ready for the season's opener.
Coach Stoehr termed the attitude excel lent, with stiff competition for starting jobs not a llowing anyone to take it easy. With 12 eturning lettermen , Stoehr looked for the team > be in the thick of competition.
"This year's team was more aggressive, in the field, at the plate, and on the bases than ever before," stated Stoehr.
Outfield was the team's strong point, with well balanced infield. The pitching was good, but inexperienced.
According to Stoehr, hitting was no problem, "We've always been able to hit here at East."

• Early season rain hampers golfer s
Being a golfer means braving the cold, rain , hail, and heat in order to produce a score which meets your satisfaction. Many times these efforts go unnoticed Despite all this , East has traditionally been able to build a good golf team .
Hampered early in the season by the elements, the golf team found themselves enjoying only a few practice rounds before bein f! tested by their first meet on March 23. Being a member of one of the toughest districts in the state, the team took it upon themselves to work hard and find a place for themselves among the best of the competition.
"You have to pay the price to be a good golfer," stated coach Dale \!Yismer. This year's team did pay the price, workihg hard after school and on weekends. Their efforts helped establish a fine team which showed promise during the season. With help from returning lettermen Mike Smith, Mark Rogers, and Craig Hatfield, the team proved to be a major power in statewide competition.

Sarah Boslaugh and Lori Harlan find the going a little tougher on the back stretch.
The sport of tennis was added to the list varsity athletic teams avai Iable for female pa rticipation . Gir l s tennis, previously an intramural sport, began its official season in m March. Interest in the team was tremendous as was illustrated when 40 eager girls signed up t participate and began work-outs. The number girls was later reduced, but.the enthusiasm remained.
Tearn coach Mrs. Debbie Ensz looked forward to the season and enjoyed the girls' enthusiasm and their eagerness to improve the game.
The need for a girls tennis team became
., clearly visible last fall when four girls from eac of the Lincoln high schools tried out for the bo varsity teams at their respective schools. Befor( parental legal action was taken against the Nebraska High School Activities Association rule barring female participation in boys tenni s the Athletic Counsel for the Lincoln Public Schools recommended to the school board th a girls tennis be approved and implemented. The addition of girls tennis became anoth ( step towards the ultimate goal of a well-round E athletic program for girls.

Intramural competition
lacks pressure
lntramurals were filled with all the successes , frustrations, and flaring tempers of varsity competition, but one major thing was lacking, pressure.
The mental strain exerted on the mind of a varsity competitor is fierce. A product of wellmeaning coaches, parents, girl friends, and school population, this "pressure" is virtually non-existent in intramurals. This fact is one of many , luring non-varsity competitors to participate in the intramural program. As one participant put it, "If we win, great; if we lose, nobody's on our back!"
atte mpts a bucket against a band of talented freaks Jock - freak conflict was constant in intramurals.

I wait. Time passes so slowly in the winter of my life.
I wait.
The snow melts, the sun brilliantly returns.
I rejoice. All is wonderous in the lives born anew.
"If there is one thing I'm going to do, it is to live life."
"This is the day that I am going to blow up the world, because it just is not going right, especially today ... I feel really great right now, man, my whole day is going great ... amazing how moods can change so quickly ... life is such a strange game, everybody has his own set of roles ... no hassles now that it is the weekend, games to go to, after game parties, early morning bike rides, and being able to sleep late ... hey, waddaya say we skip tomorrow? ... I have the third quarter slump in the middle of the first. .. does anybody have an aspirin, my head is aching ... I haven't been to all my classes as usual, but that's the whole fun of going to school. .. can't think of it and it was on the tip of my tongue, it won't come truckin' around in your jeep, really getting into ·life and all the things that make it interesting ... the neat experiences I've had with all the people I've met the past few years I like snow very much, but it does present problems ... the snow is all melting away and getting mushy ... weather definitely plays a part on human emotions ... I can't wait 'til this day is over, it's so hard to stay awake and alert ... such trivial n ;atters can upset everyone ... if we could all accept the fact that we do make mistakes ... tny cla~s~s have been terrifically boring, especially fourth: . hour ... if there wasn't open campus here, I would still skip class because that's why there is school ... a long lost sou I who hasn't been found yet ... you can be a good kid, when you don't do those idiot things life is like going for a picnic or a drive in the • country just for the fun of it ... I dig those things myself, I am just a plain old country person ... I wouldn't trade this time in my life for any other time because I'm enjoying it too much ... how has your day gone?"

The year has been filled with heartbreaks and sorrows ; happiness and excitement; caring and uncaring . . . The staff of the 1973 Epic tried to only in the copy written, but through the pictures, some of these happenings to every person that opened the yearbook ... The people involved in 1 the book took on a job and though at times they felt that it was a lost cause, they seemed to find the -perseverance necessary to complete the ye yearbook cannot be produced without support from the students both in financing the book and by their cooperating in candid and group pictures. Teachers must also be remembered for their cooperation in their own candid pictures and also for letting students out of classes for group or cand i shots ... Well, the 1973 Epic staff took on a great project and has hopefully captured a happy moment of l ife
