In our hands is the future of this planet. Time will never kill the memories of things we have gone through in trying to establish a satisfactory future. And time will not stop us from doing more toward the future; and living, not just being.
We experienced a good year full of happiness and time spent in search of eterna~ knowledge. We had times when we felt no one was truly there when we needed them and sometimes we were suddenly sentimental, but from our experiences we could sense the future.
goals
Whether we liked to think about it or not, somewhere in the back of our minds we all wondered who we really were and what we were going to face after graduation. Our teachers constantly prepared us for the future by presenting us with new ideas, problems, and concepts. They tried to relate to us through their experiences.
It was hard to realize where all the time went and it was even harder to decide what we would do with the future. We saw that people wasted away their whole life because they hadn't yet thought about what they wanted and what they, as individuals, could give it.
Together we must open our minds and think about where we are going and what we can do to make this world a better place.
Each day, East High ' s teachers shared new experiences and helped students discover previously unknown ways of solving problems and gaining knowledge. They constantly tried to stimulate thinking. When they prepared lessons and assign-
ments they attempted to share knowledge and excite students ' interest in learning. Part of that learning involved the ability to question and challenge. When new materials or ideas were presented, students strove to take a stand in class dis-
faculty • aims to
experience. They supported an Individually-Guided-Education program, by which students earned credits working outside the school.
The Administration and faculty members at East High continued to emphasize individual
share
cussions. By doing this, they learned to present opinions and form philosophies. With the new advisor system, students and teachers had the chance to get to know and understand each other better. Through this advising program , the teachers could help students work out their pro bl ems. The students began to realize that tJ1eir teachers were there to help.
East H igh teachers fostered an atmosphere of learning through

learning. They expanded programs to specialize in subject areas. Mini-courses, seminars and individualized instruction were some of the ways teachers promoted specialization. Students realized that teachers can ' t make anyone learn. The students have to want to do it themselves. Cooperation between East High students and teachers helped make this selfmotivation possible.
The administration hoped to create a • better atmosphere for the faculty and students, so that they would take an interes·t in each other and come to a better understanding. The administration felt this would help a great deal in developing courses
geared more for students interest.
This year the administratior hoped to develop a better program orientation for the new stu-

With the addition of English quarter courses, the department had to buy more material than usual. The courses provided students with the opportunities to study things more to their interests and gave teachers a chance - to teach their specialties.
The interns in the English department were Mrs. Lynne Anderson, Mr. Jim Buchanan, Mrs. Carol Cabacunzan and Miss Roxie Lyons. They taught one-or two classes a day, while they study for their masters degree.

"By studying a foreign language you begin to understand your own language better," stated Mr. William Hammelmann, German teacher at East. Students also take a foreign
language to understand foreign people and their countries, and to do this they need to know the cultural back ground of that -country .'
This was one of the reasons for the use of the Fulbright Ex-
change Program, which involved Mr. Fred Schelert and Mr. KarlHeinz Wimmer. The teacher exchange program, new this year, sent Mr. Schelert to Germany to teach English, and Mr. Wimmer came to East and taught German.

The students in Mr. Wimmer's class felt that they had gained something more than just learning the language, they said they also learned what a German life1style is really like. Mr. Schelert wasn't the only one to leave this year. Mrs. Molly Tooley, a former French teacher also left. Although East lost two teachers, we gained three new teachers. Mrs. Carol Zartner taught French, Miss Mary Brauer taught Spanish and Mrs. Jartet Forde taught French and a new course this year called Greek and Latin roots.

Making people aware of the many facets of home economics was one of the goals of the department this year.
Most of the classes were broken down into quarter courses. This way the students were able to choose exactly which area they wanted. Specialty classes in the areas of family living, foods, and clothing were especially popular with the students.
Another goal of the department was to raise class enroll-

Vocational training in the form of two hour blocks was an asset to the industrial arts department this year. The program provided two hours of training for those interested in autq mechanics and architectural drafting. The auto mechanics_training, taught by Mr. Jerome Kohl, required students to have had some on-the-job mechanical experience before taking the course.
The courses were geared to im prove the skills students needec in order to go into specializec fields

This year, the staff of 12, including student teachers, set up programs that appealed to more students.
New girls' physical education quarter courses, better teaching
techniques, more assistance in classes, and bigger intramural programs, became a reality this year. Some of the new quarter courses added were co-ed syncronized swimming, badmitton,
tennis, bowling, volleyball, gymnastics, slimnastics, dance and bicycling to mention a few. Volleyball had the biggest enrollment of the quarter courses this year, with tennis running a close second.
phys ed staff expands intramurals
Another new concept was the addition of CPU programs, where students could choose the type of activity they wanted. Some of the CPU's were snow skiing, table tennis, and horseback riding.
Workshops, summer camps, and teacher aids brought new ways of teaching and learning - into the school. The department showed larger enrollment this year, partially due to the new courses, optional class activities, and pass-fail grading. The department's biggest need was smaller classes to provide more personalized instruction.

The driver education program, including a multi- media room and a driving range located on the south side of the student
parking lot, aimed to help students develop driving skills for real situations.
There were five phases in the drivers education program: simu-
lation, six films, six ranges, four behind-the-wheel drives, and 32 hours of classroom time.
Classroom work was a combination of lecture and a multi-

Mr. Robert Eyth, one of the three Lincoln East drivers education instructors said, "Every year the drivers' education program has been changed a little to organize the best method of scheduling for the students."
Something new was tried by giving each student one of the three instructors for all five phases of the program. "I feel it has worked quite well," Mr. Eyth commented, "because this way the students instructors know pretty much what to expect from them when they go out qn the street to driVe."

The Social Studies Resource Center headed by Mrs. Dee Mehrens was also a place students could go for information pertaining to history and government.
A new asset to the Media Center this year was the Career Information Center. It was located at the north end of the Media
Center. Students could look up information about careers or colleges that interested them.
Mr. Tom Crockett, head of the Instructional Media Center, aided by Mrs. Estelle Detmer, handled video taping, making signs, charts and transparencies, and scheduling of films.
At least once in the course of a
school year every student finds a need for resources and information that cannot be found in the .. classroom. The two places in which the students could find this information were in the Media Center and the Social Studies Resource Center.
Three women helped students in the media center this year. Li-

title III aims to fill student needs
Although the Title III program is in its second year of implementation at East, many still did not fully understand or make use of its many opportunities.
-Two years ago the administration and faculty at East began to look at various ways to improve and operate a high school. After reviewing several new programs, the majority felt that the IGE (Individually Guided Education), otherwise known as Title III, best fit East's needs. This system was basically student centered and oriented to aid
them in decision making. Incorporation of this new system began last year when students selected teacher-advisors and were segregated into learning communities. Their role was not to replace counselors, but to provide the students with more individualized attention. The newest phase this year was indi~ vidual conferences. These were directed by the student and include the parents and advisor.
One of the purpose-s of the Title III program was to try to give students more curr~culum
also encouraged for those who wanted them. Included was the Program Improvement Council (PIC) this was a governing group which included faculty members student representatives and administrators. The students were elected from their advisor groups and were later chosen to represent e;ich learning community. This council was designed to strengthen communication between student admin, and to make decisions which affect general school policY..

sold tickets and recorded attendance. Answering endless questions and phone calls also kept the office personnel busy. This year East used a new attendance procedure. The use of blue cards for senior high and yellow cards for junior high with the class roster written on it helped teachers keep track of daily class attendance. The custodial staff worked around-the-clock. With the continuation of open campus , the cafeteria staff again faced the problems of estimating the number of students for each lunch hour. Prices in the lunch program increased because of the rising cost of food.

After 13 years of schooling where all students follow the same basic learning program, finally it is time to make decisions concerning education.
what is different about East High's seniors? What typifies the class of '75? "The Boys" and their escapades, and then their opposites, "The Men";

But when that time comes some people are confused and uncertain. "What school should I go to? Do I even want to go to college?" They find it hard to break away from their circle of friends and become independent.
Yet others are anxious to try something new, to make their · own choices and experi m ent. ''I'm really excited," said one senior. "It'll be like starting a new life. I'll be on my own, away from hovering teachers and parents."
But these things are true for all people whenever they reach a crossroad and it is time to make a decision. So,

More responsibility seemed to be a part of becoming a junior. For some, the responsibilities started with becoming more involved in school activ-
they had left behind the year before.
With determination, the class proved itself spirited and well organized. Because of junior class is trapped in the middle, but this year's juniors proved that their year was as productive and fulfilling as any other.
ju _ niors gain licenses, independence
ities , for others it came from jobs. Since many juniors had their driver licenses, they felt a greater sense of freedom and independence.
With this added feeling of responsibility, they began to think of the future. With the help of advisors and counselors, they started to make tentative decisions about college and possible careers.
Juniors found it easier to begin a new school year. They came back to a familiar school and friends, and welcomed the time they would have to strengthen the relationships
these quaHties, they supported and improved many school activities.
The Sophomore year was a year of beginnings. The Senior year will be a year of ending high school and anticipating the future. Many felt that the
When the year started a junior may have felt that he was merely a student at East, but as the year progressed, many felt the unity that made them a part of the class of "76" and a very important part of East High School.

As sophomores beginning in high school they were faced with both opportunities and obstacles. Sports, Pep Club and many other organizations were available to the new se-
nior high students.
With fewer requirements and a wider range of class choices, they were allowed more freedom and choose a

Along with. the new-found freedom of becoming senior high students, they also had to face the new obstacles. Walking in to a class where there are only a few familiar faces proved to be a frightening ex-
As class members of "77" look back on their first year in high school, they remember the temporary loneliness of the first few weeks, the good times through the school games and clubs, the friendships they made.

After several struggling years junior high students were tired of being called gummers. "We feel we are now being identified," ex-

Most new seventh graders coming from elementary to ju-
Junior high students liked having more freedom, "even though we did have to work harder and had more homework." But as the year prog-
junior high strives for identification
plained a group of eighth and ninth grade students. Since junior high has been so closely associated with the senior high it has always been a touchy situation. Instead of feeling jealous or insecure, junior high students respected senior high.
Most students liked having an advisor, "just to know you can go to someone who is willing to help you and answer • any questions you are concerned about," said one student.
The whole East High complex was a building with the junior high a part of it. "Even though we got bumped and had to dodge all the 'big kids' " one seventh grader moaned, "It's worth it."
Sports, the newspaper, student council and many other
nior high found it an exciting experience. Going from one room to another in a very short period of time, carrying loads of books and trying to look much more experienced were typical of junior high frustrations. But come second semester, they had caught on. Mingling with the upper classmen and wearing the latest fad was the biggest transition for most. .
ressed they felt they were more grown up.
One ninth grader commented that being a ninth grader equaled his expectations. "When we were seventh graders I thought, wait until I'm a ninth grader, it will be fun.
Knowing this is the last year i:Q. junior high we feel we have a better understanding of junior high and can leave a fond memory to the underclassmen.''

This year's musical was the comedy Li'l Abner. It was put on by the East Singers and directed by Mr. Jon Peterson. This show was considerably harder than previous musicals because come-
dies need more exact timing to bring out the right moments and emphasize the humor involved. There were many students who fit the character parts well and as time went on they grew
into their given roles. The play was enhanced by many chorus scenes. Li'l Abner required many time consuming practices but the final performances were very successful.

Searching for quality creative writings, art works, sketches, or photographs were just some of the many hassles that the East
Winds staff experienced this year. East Winds is the creative writing book put out in the spring by any interested student who is willing to contribute the time to edit, rewrite, type and layout the poems and copy
contributions compose east winds
for the book. In the sixth year of publication, the main problem in getting the book out was the lack of contributions made by the student body. "The more contributions we have, the more selective and widespread we can be in the topics we cover,' '. stated one staff member. " Although we spent a lot of time after school when we could have been doing something else, seeing the book come out and knowing what contributions you made to it, made all the work worthwhile."

project was the DECA snack bar. Each morning club members sold doughnuts, orange drink, and other goodies to students who had missed their morning nutrition.
In addition to this their other f~ll activities included: a leadership lab for all local officers at the Radisson Cornhusker Hotel , the Regional Conference in Wisconsin, a week-long book fair, and various field trips. The holidays gave DECA Members the opportunity to use their profits for a community project. They bought a Thanksgiving dinner, a Christmas dinner, and presents for the children of a needy Lincoln family. They also purchased a Christmas tree for the library. Spring projects included: the State Conference held here in Lincoln in February, Employer s Appreciation dinner, anothe r book fair, the style show durin g PAC week, and the Nationa l Conference in Florida .

but the problems were over come as the staff began to work together and push toward a common goal. The format of staff positions was altered and a managing editor and layout editor were added. This aided in keeping a constant layout format throughout the book.

and emphasis was on school affairs.
New members who graduated from the beginning Journalism class and joined the newspaper staff second semester were Mary Davidson, Mary Herrington, Casey McCabe, Randy Sargent, and Shelly Strait.
An innovation was for students to change staff positions at the semester break. This broadened the educational experience of the staff and forestalled complacency.
" I feel that the change was good, " Linda Olson said. "We had a different style second semester , but it didn ' t hurt the paper. "

This year they had many requests for performances from various organizations around the city and the state, such as a Christmas program for PSAB, and a clinic for Nebraska Music Educators Association at Hastings College. Performing well for others is a special experience and the fourteen members of Swing Choir had many of these special memories to treasure.
Pract ices are work, but also enjoyable

Stage Band has represented East for several years by visiting other schools and competing in band contests. Along with the many other appearances, it a so played for the Father-Daughter Dance which was held by the junior class in February.
Stage band members selected uniforms, white overalls over blue-patterned shirts, which added to the fun aspect.

An integral part of the spirit of any school is its band. The East High Marching Band this year took pride in their accomplishments, a pride that was
shared by the whole school. Individually and as a group their enthusiasm and dedication to their performances inspired everyone. Starting two weeks before
school, they practiced three hours every morning. Their many activities included a trip to Grand Island with the football team, four half time shows, and

participation in two contests. Both were held in October, one in Wahoo, Nebraska and the other at Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln. Both times the band received a high division rating of two. This years band was the only Lincoln band to participate in these contests.
A special honor this year was beihg selected one of four bands in the state to play for President Gerald D. Ford's visit to Lincoln. Some marching band members are also involved in Pep and Symphonic Ba!1d.

Traveling was a big part of the East High Orchestra this year. A trip to western Nebraska was planned for the whole group, and many attended a music conference in Minneapolis durin ·g February.
Aside from the regular concerts for the parents, the orchestra played for many junior highs and performed at the City Orchestra Festival.
The orchestra also started branching out to a more contemporary music field to interest more types of people.

The annual show, held in April, had acts to signify each decade of the 20th Century with the finale being "2001, Space Odyssey."
Work on the show began last summer with acts being assigned and a theme established. This way the acts, costumes, and music were all ready and technical work could be done on them im-

Not everyone can be an athlete; just as everyone cannot be a singer. Those who are, and those who are involved in athletics, gain valuable experience. Athletics involves many special talents-skill, endurance, desire, competitiveness, and of course the most important . . . Determination.
Determination is what an athlete uses to run those last practice laps that seem impossible. Determination is what helps an athlete achieve his goals that were so hard to reach.
Determination is what makes a champion. Determination makes a frame of mind that encourages a person not to give up, no matter how impossible the task ahead may seem. Determination is what makes a winning athlete, a winning team, a winning season.
All coaches work for a team with determination because it can be the difference between success and failure, but in the end, it all lies in the athlete and his amount of.

sportswriters, the Spartans faced a rebuilding year, and supporters feared they would be lucky to win 50 percent of their games.
The Spartans made the sportswriters eat their words by rattling off an unprecedented string of ten straight victories without a defeat or tie.
The Spartans held their opponents to four shutouts and a mere 60 points in ten games. East put 219 points on the board; their highest point production in one game was 34 against Lincoln High.
East opened the season by defeating a tough Omaha Gross team, 28-13. Fine play by tight end John Selko and halfback
three interceptions and Doug Caulkins scored twice in the game.
In their first home game, the Spartans hosted top ten rated Hastings, but the Tigers, without their starting quarterback, were turned back 16-6.
The first of the Spartan shutouts came against I-80 conference contender Ralston.

an unbeaten season as they squeaked by one-time winner Papillion 6-0. Head Coach Lee Zentic gave team managers Scott Phillips and Okie Von Seggern most valuable player award for the game.
East put together their best offensive showing of the year against Lincoln High, racking up 34 points to the Links ' seven. This win gave the Spartans the city championship, at least a tie for Trans-Nebraska title, and a
shot at the state title if they could beat North Platte.
The Spartans capped their season with a convincing win over North Platte in a mud bath at Seacrest Field. In the game, starting quarterback Dave Watters ran for three touchdowns and threw for the other. With this victory East was picked by both the Associated Press and the United Press International polls the best class A football team in Nebraska.
Junior Sam Yow e ll rushed for 862 yards on 149 carries, and senior halfback Doug Caulkins had 345 yards on 60 carries. In the passing department the Spartans were led by junior Dave Watters; he hit on 34 out of 68 pass att-Bmpts for 682 yards and six touchdowns. Senior Bill Holmes had 34 of 40 for 644 yards and three touchdowns. The main target for these two was senior Pat Scott who gathered in 16 pa s ses for 451 yards and two touchdowns. Senior split end Karl Voss came up with 18 receptions for 365 yards and one touch down. Tight end John Selko wound up the receiving chores catching 15 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns.
The defense was highlighted by senior Neil Mitchell with 86 total tackles, along with linebackers Bing Behrens and Randy Palmer who played well. Middle guard Tom Strasheim and tackle Brian Hensel were top performers for the defensive line. Leading the team in intercept10ns were safety man Eddy Mulligan and cornerback Karl Voss; they each had five. Cornerback Tony Leffert and monsterman Bill Holmes rounded out the defensive backfield.
The Spartans also led the Lincoln school in All-City selections. Seven East High players were chosen. They were: Gordon Thiessen, Bing Behrens, Karl Voss, Bill Holmes, John Selko, Sam Yowell, and Pat Scott. East was also represented on the AllState team by Bill Holmes and John Selko.

" The program was more competitive this year but our teams really came through, evident in the season records , and the AllCity and All-State picks," said Vokolek. "We're in a good area for swimming, most of our kids are involved in programs before they're on swim teams which gives them a real good background, and our support is great, it has to be a big secret in our successes in the past five years of never losing a dual meet in girls' swimming, and our senior dominance has also helped in our season's finish, I think that the future looks good!"

East then finished up the regular season by picking up wins over Lincoln High, Hastings and Grand Island. •
In District play, the Spartans drew a tough first round assignment with the Knights of Southeast.East could not seem to find the range as they managed only four points during the first quarter of play.
The game continued along at the same pace as Southeast led by 22 points late in the third quarter. East began a rally and it looked like the Spartans might have a chance but they never got any closer than the final score, 56-49.
Leading scorer for the year was senior Steve Gohde with 213 points, averaging 12.5 points per game. Leading rebounder was senior John Selko with 134 rebounds on the season.

The ' 75 Spartan baseball team had hopes of a strong season with approximately 80 boys out for the sport, nine of which were returning lettermen. With the aid of many returning reserve and sophomore players from last year , the team eyed chances for
city and state honors. Pitching and hitting were the • strongest points of the team this year. Wade Cascini, a two year letterman and All-City in 1974 spotlighted in the shortstop position.
The outfield was the most in-
experienced aspect of the team, but speed and range on the part of the newcomers made it no serious problem. Because of the loss of many good defensive men last year, the coaches worked much on defense.

in tram urals use gyms to capacity
The boys' or girls' gyms after ' school were wall to wall people participating in intramural sports.
The entire gym was in use every day with such sports as football, basketball, volleyball, softball, and table tennis.
There were 24 basketbp.ll teams this year , the largest group East has ever had. This caused a problem of insufficient practice area.
East volleyball and softball teams both entered their seasons as defending city champs.
The purpose of the intramurals programs was to supplement varsity sports and give s t udents competition outside of the games.
Intramurals had a variet y of sports so people could choose what they wanted to participate in. The pr ogram was tea m -or iented so it could provi d e the pportunity to work with othe rs .
As girls' sports gained more recognition this year, more girls became involved.
The tip-off can be a dt.!c.iding factor in intramural games. Greg Smith shows you don't need to be tall to put up a stiff defense.

Another year of experien ce s had passed and life continu e s. We enjoyed the happy tim e s and endured the bad.
Every time we turned around reality was there. We faced it , not always in the best way, but we couldn ' t ignore it. We move on now, a year older and wiser.
A year full of successes and failures is gone. Sometimes wondering if we would make it until tomorrow, we struggled through a class project into the wee hours, still having to rise early the next morning.
Through all this we lasted , and existed , and succeeded. And now from our experiences we can look into the future more clearly.
