Puttin' on the Ritz

As a visitor, the reputation of Lincoln East High School served to make me more than a bit skeptical. Once inside the doors, however, the true story of the life of a Spartan began to unfold. It is a story of pride, rather than conceit a story of class, rather than snobbery .a story of 1,583 junior and senior high students "puttin' on the Aitz". School, to the Spartans, was more than a building True, it was a structure that housed a myriad of classrooms-classrooms that were

filled at eight o'clock and emptied seven hours later every weekday. Life was found in every extremity of the educational complex at all times of the day and, at times, night. Flurries of excitement were continually springing up, whether they sprang from a simple group discussion held after school in the cafeteria or grew into something that incorporated many students in a bond of fraternity. The building that housed so many activities was a showcase, of sorts, for the Spartans. It received several

facelifts before August 29 when the school year began. Modifications included a new roof, repainted lockers, and an asbestos-free cafeteria. Perhaps Mark Twain best summarized the enthusiasm felt by the students, teachers, and administrators alike, when he said "This was simply bound to be a success, nothing could prevent it."

These efforts to keep up with the times were comparable to the pride with which Swiss hotel keeper Cesar Aitz ( 1850-1918) ran his palatial hotels in New York, Paris, and London. It was

lUS or van. Kelley Pasco drove his ritzy Corvette to the Southeast cross country meet at Pioneer Park September 20

" And as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. He had conferred on me the freedom of the neighborhood.''

Puttin' on the Ritz (cont.)

because of this chain of plush hotels that the phrase "puttin' on the Aitz" originated. The building made a visitor feel confused and insecure, but only until that first seventhgrader asked how to get to the library. F.Scott Fitzgerald said it best when he wrote "I told him. And as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. He had conferred on me the freedom of the neighborhood.''

The Spartans didn't have it easy, for East had a reputation for being a

school of rich snobs who didn't have to work for what they wanted.Taking this in stride, the Spartans continued to work hard in a variety of areas.

Twelve seniors were selected as National Merit semifinalists-more than from any other school in the state.

On a more individual basis, Jackie Kuenning won the title of Miss Teen Nebraska, while Sheryl Blad earned Lincoln Junior Miss, and Mrs. Debbie Salyards (proving that teachers weren't excluded from excelling in

non-academic interests) was named Mrs. Nebraska.

Achievers in every area began to show up as the year progressed, from scholarship-winners to recordsetters in video games.

But now it is time to step bock and let the Spartan story tell itself through its scholastics, sports, and activities.as the students carried themselves through the year with pride.

Spending habits challenge budgets

Spending money was something that no one could get around. Senior Melodee Smith lamented that "money slips through your fingers quicker than you think! "

Assuming one had money to spend, there was certainly no problem find ing something to spend that money on. ''If I had money I'd spend it, and when I do have money I do spend it," senior Edgars Circenis said.

Clothing took a large chunk out of many East students' budgets. Ann Workman, sophomore, recalled "I spent most of my money on clothes because there was so much to buy!" Jeans, both casual and dressy, were a common purchase. Popular styles for girls were London Aiders, pin-stripes and jeans with pleats. Popular brands were Lee, Calvin Klein, Levi's, Zena and A.O Simpson. Guys wore mainly straight cut jeans, but pleated and pin-striped jeans were also frequently seen. Lee and Levi ' s were the most popular brands among the guys. Girls paid between $30 and $45 a pair for their

jeanswhileguyspaidonly$25to$35apair. Shirts were something no one could get enough of. Plaids, stripes, and oxfords were popular as well as button-down collars. Shirts· for both guys and girls cost between $20 and $45. Sophomore Bret Tonniges lamented, "There is so much to buy, but never enough money!"

Shoes ranged greatly in both style and price. Nike tennis shoes were about $32 a pair while pumps, penny-loafers and Topsiders were $36 to $60 a pair. But one had to have new heels for that Homecoming dress or dress shoes to go with that new sweater and pants.

As weather grew cooler, sweaters came into the picture. Argyle patterns, stripes and small woven patterns were popular as well as plain colors and rag wool. Sweater prices went from $22 up to $65 depending on brand, store and style.

Of course everyone needed matching socks($2 to $7), cosmetics($3 to $20), belts

and barrettes. By the time this was taken care of there was not a lot of money left. Entertainment was another item students spent money on. Movies were very popular. Despite rising movie costs, students continued to flock to see the latest flick. Ticket prices ranged from $4.50 for a first-run showing of "Return of the Jedi" to $2 for a Saturday matinee. By the time pop and popcorn were purchased it was a rather expensive evening.

Eating out was a fun way to spend money. Popular times for eating out were after games or dances. Valentino's, Godfather's, Spaghetti Works, East Park Plaza, as well as various Mexican restaurants lured many East High students wherethey could eat for under $5.

Students found spending money easy to do and hard to control. Junior Venu Chivulkula gave the tip, "Carry only what you can afford to spend, then you wont spend too much!"

New Wave styles echo earlier trends

Walking through the halls of East High, one noticed a change in the clothing and hairstyles that students wore. The styles weren't entirely new, but rather a reflection of the trends started in the earlier 1980' s by European fashion designers, New Yorkers, new-wave recording artists, and freelance models.

According to psychologists, the clothes a person wears reflect how the individual feels about himself or herself. Students' tastes varied greatly, and most students made up original styles with clothes that they felt comfortable wearing, but there were three major styles which became popular.

Ironically, many of the styles considered

to be new wave, with the exception of hairstyles, were merely transitions of a look that students' parents had worn 20, 30, or 40 years earlier. Colored hightops, sleeveless t-shirts, Bermuda shorts, French-cut shirts and jackets, bright colors, plaids, stripes, and generally shorter hairstyles prevailed, bringing a taste of the past back to the present.

A desire to be original was in part responsible for some styles. When asked • why he chose to wear new wave clothing, senior Pat Pittman replied, "because I don't like to feel the wav other people look."

Another style worn by students reflected the casual atmosphere of the East High campus. Included in this look were blue

jeans, long and short-sleeved t-shirts, corduroy slacks and shorts, Western shirts, pullovers, oxfords, flannels, and button-ups. "The casual look fits mv personality," said junior Ackland Jones. "I like to feel comfortable in the clothes that I wear. To each his own, I guess."

Yet another look was inspired by Gentleman's Quarterh.i magazine, which brought the latest preppy styles to readers. Ties of all kinds, oxford shirts, blazers, tweeds, slacks, designer boots, and argyle socks and sweaters were popular. This style provided the impetus for the Gentleman's Quarterly Club which was designed to promote "class and respectability" among students.

Many st1.,1dents changed styles day by day. As senior Aon Brennan said, "My ' moods change every day, so I wear clothes to fit whatever mood I happen to be in."

Keeping fit becomes daily routine

The steady beat of a wel I-known song can be heard in the background . The aura of desire translates itself into sweat and fatigue, which is visible on each face. The fight against the flab continues in many different ways. More and more people are modifying their behavior in hopes of becoming physically fit.

The many health clubs popping up around town follow the national trend toward fitness Yet, to many students, it is difficult to take time from their busy schedules to work out. That is why more students are turning to aerobic dancing, weightlifting , swimming, and running as port of their daily routines at school.

According to P. E. teacher Debbie Salyards, "Three years ago, I had one section of Aerobic Dance with girls making up- the

majority of that class. But this year, I hove six sections with twenty to twenty-five students per section ," She attributes the increase to "the national trend toward fitness. People are becoming more aware of their bodies and personal fitness."

Mrs. Salyards has had a few guys in her classes, but most are girls. She would like to start a class just for guys, but most find weightlifting a more suitable form of figure enhancement.

P. E. teacher Lee Zen tic sees P. E classes as "an important part of a student's lifestyle." He enjoys working with students because he likes to see them "develop a good attitude toward fitness for the rest of their life, and gain confidence in themselves."

Mr. Zentic is concerned with "the physicalness of some P.E. classes ." He views Archery as a P.E. class which isn't very strenuous, yet is an activity with a high carry over value, because you can participate in

TO 1IIE music and choreography of

archery all of your life.

Tracy Linderholm took an aerobic dance class last year "because I like to dance. It released tension and helped me express myself in a different way." Even though she took the class to get in shape, and have fun doing it, she doesn't see herself as part of the national trend. "I just like to exercise. I'm going to take modern dance for fun, too."

According to Kristin Luthans, who took Aerobic Dance with Mrs: Salyards, "I like to exercise because it's fun and I want to get in better shape." Sharon Waddle agreed, saying, "lliketoexercisebecauseithelpsme lose weight."

Good attitudes were developed through good habits. As students developed a desire to feel good about themselves physically, their mental attitudes become more positive. Yet, in each case, it depended upon the effort exerted by the student. No pain, no gain.

Worth the extra effort Teens work for profit, experience

More than half the East High students held part-time jobs in addition to their extracurricular activities. These jobs ranged from selling popcorn at Nebraska football games to selling toys in a toy shop, from cooking, waiting on, or busing tables at local restaurants, to helping out at grocery stores and bakeries.

Why did so many teens have jobs? Many needed the money so th~y could afford to go to college, to buy theirown clothes, take that special person out on the weekend, or to make payments on that awesome new car they just bought.

"I work for the financial independence," said senior Kevin Clark.

But there were other benefits to working. Marcia Miller said she liked "the people that I

work with and the majority of the customers.''

Jobs provided experience in working with employers, other employees and with the customers. Besides that, it showed students what working in the real business world was all about.

Jobs also gave some teens an opportunity to explore their future interest while helping their community at the same time. For example, some students answered phones at a counseling clinic or candy striped at a local hospital, both of which were strictly voluntary.

Senior Gail Sutton said "After volunteering at Lincoln General Hospital for over three years I've become a teen supervisor and gained more responsibilit!J. Because

Lincoln General is in a different area of Lincoln I have also gained many new friends from Southeast and Lincoln High."

There were drawbacks to working while still in school. One of these drawbacks was interference with school homework and activities.

As Marcia Miller said "It gets to a point where there's too many things that I want to do and work just adds to that. Eventually you have to give up something and sometimes it's homework."

Most part-time jobs didn't require many skills but as Tracey Caciola pointed out, "Experience of any form in the working field may help you acquire a better job in the future."

Making something of summer Activities abound during break

It was 2:40 on a sunny spring afternoon , ust twenty minutes awa y from summer vacation. The seventh period teacher droned n about her own summer p lans •

Finally the bell rang and summer break egan, another summer i n which there were a variety of things to do : swimming , water skiing, meeting members of the opposite sex, or just laying around watching game shows all day

For many there were workshops, foreign language trips , all sorts of camps, and for the first time, a scholars ' i nsti t ute NSI, or Nebraska Scholars' Institu t e, ffered eighteen people from East the • ppportunity to expand their knowledge on a hosen topic. They researched these topics nd others that affected Nebraskans.

Jeanine Tharp stated that " I got a lot out 9f NSI, both socially and academ ically "

"It was a good way to meet kids my own age from other schools, " added Jenny Chou. Besides research and group activities, NSI scholars went to many evening activities such as plays, movies, and operas. "We all learned to get along with different kinds of people by spending so much time with them in the dorms or going to different places," Chou added .

Three seniors attended a debate workshop at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. Robyn Bishop attended because "it was an excellent workshop with very good credentials and an excellent location."

Although it was expensive (over a thousand dollars for room, board, and transportation), it was well worth it. Scot Caldwell stated, "Georgetown is the best debate workshop in the country."

Rob1,m Bishop also felt that, "George-

town was an excellent way to meet people with the same interests and excel in the art of debate."

Time at Georgetown University was spent in classes, hearing lectures, or researching. After an afternoon in the library, watching the Potomac River drift by was an easy way to unwind. "The view of the river was fabulous," said Bishop. "We also had the chance to see a Simon and Garfunkel concert," she added.

Another workshop attended by East students was Boys State and Girls State at UNL. "We learned a first hand knowledge of the political process through actual involvement and from actual people," remarked Devika Seth "

"I enjoyed Girls State. It was worth the time and the effort."

"A nation at risk" was not the title of a defense report prepared by the Pentagon but rather the title of a report on the nation's high schools.

The report was prepared by the Carnegie Commission at the request of President Reagan who sensed a national concern over the quality of the American educational system.

According to the report, students were spending far too little time in school and too little of their time in school on the "basics."

Lincoln school officials responded to the challenges presented in the report by first reminding citizens of the successful record posted by Lincoln schools but then moved to insure that students spent more time "on task." Plans to lengthen the school day or the school year were not favored.

Scholastic excellence, however, continued as

a strong tradition at East. Twelve National Merit semi-finalists were the most from any school in Nebraska.

The emphasis in classrooms was very much on improving reading, writing and computational skills but students still found a wide variety of electives. Classes such as Exploring Childhood, Physiology, Zoology, A. P. English, and GrecoRoman History offered distinctive changes of pace.

Students also enjoyed over twenty clubs, five of which were introduced for the first timeincluding a new Spanish Club, a computer club, a runner's club, and a math club. The letterman's club , "E Club," was also revived.

The continued high levels of achievement and participation in both academics and clubs proved East students were "puttin' on the ritz" every day.

Members make Spirit Club strong

What's blue and white and seen all over? Spirit Club, of course. Spirit Club was a very visual part of the East High scene. And the Club added a new twist with a major change in the qualification standards for cheerleaders.

"Spirit Club tried to do a variety of things for the school," explained Anne Barry, head sponsor. "We encouraged the girls to support a varied group of activities such as plays, debates, helping in the concession stand, and helping keep time at sports

events. We tried to pull the girls away from just watching boys sports."

Spirit Club helped with a diversity of events throughout the year. The club hired a band, decorated and provided refreshments for Homecoming, and organized Spirit Week. They also had a covered dish dinner in December and a pizza feed in Febuary.

The Spirit Club increased in size, up to 127 members. The officers of the Spirit Club were Renee Smith, President; Jenny Chou, Vice President; Suzie Gillette, Secretary;

Melissa Bartels, Treasurer; and Carrie Moser, Head Squad Leader.

"It took a lot of work planning the activities. We had to be organized and work together," explained Carrie Moser.

A major change in the qualifications standards for cheerleaders and Apo Ilona ires was enacted. The number of points required for eligibility was reduced by half, from 1 50 to 75 points for juniors, provided they had earned 150 points as sophomores.

patriotism wasn't restricted to being on Apollonoire: "You con still do many other things to promote school spirit."

Practice began in the summer, soon ofter the new squad hod been chosen. Practices before school ond on weekends put to rest the belief that the Apollonoires only needed first period every day to put together a simple routine The group only hod about five days, on the overage, to learn the routines for pep rallies and foll sporting events. Extra time was put into the performances they used for the Shrine Bowl Parade, the Lincolnfest Parade , and the

Iowa Bond Competition (where they performed with the school bond but rece ived a separate grade .)

Some of the songs the group performed to included " 1999, " " Dancing in Heaven," "No limit , " "Mr. Gots the Body, " and "P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing) ." The group won a Spirit Stick, three blue ribbons, and the Superstar Squad Award at the KSU clinic in Manhattan , Kansas. An individual award was also awarded to senior Shelley Somerholder when she won the Celebrity Award and got t o go to Hawaii to perform at the Aloha Bowl.

New selection process

Cheering takes time, effort & bucks

A new selection procedure made the twelve varsity cheerleaders the "most fairly judged squad" in the 1 7 years that East High School has been open. This was true because for the first time professional judges from the National Cheerleader Association were hired to choose the new squad members

East High School became the first and only school in Lincoln to try such a selection procedure and although it was expensive, "it was well worth it," according to vice-principal Dub Salestrom.

Being a cheerleader was expensive, emotionally demanding, and time consuming. Cheerleaders were expected to purchase both a spring and winter uniform at a cost in excess of $350, and pay for equipment, cleaning supplies, and summer clinics.

"It's very time consuming," said Mary (ahoy about being a cheerleader, "but I learned how to manage my time. You get out of it what you put into it."

• Regular evaluations helped the squad improve, and they could expect to receive criticism from other group members, the student body, faculty members, parents, and the groups' sponsor, Miss Marjorie Keep. Squad members had to arrange their schedules around practices, performances,

and sporting events. They practiced for at least two hours in the morning, every day in the summer, and during the school year they *ere expected to practice during second period.

"People expect you to be perfect if you're cheerleader," said Wendy Dickinson, "but obviously we weren't. I do feel, however, that we did support all athletics and gave our best effort to promote school spirit."

During the summer months, the squad attended several summer clinics. These clinics were sponsored by such organizations as the National Cheerleading Association, and the Dynamic Cheerleading Association as well as others

Members who attended were housed in university dormitories and followed a rigorous activity schedule. This year, all the members attended the National Cheerleading Association (NCA) clinic in late July and early August, which was held at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas The squad won many awards there , including three blue ribbons, one red ribbon, and three spirit sticks.

The East cheerleading squad was selected as one of the top four squads of the sixty-four squads competing, and was

chosen to try out for the Excellence Award. They were later asked to take part in the Pepsi Challenge Cheer-Off held at the Shrine Bowl, where they won the Spirit Award and a $200 first prize.

During the school year, the varsity cheerleaders played the role of teacher to girls in grades first through sixth at May Morley Elementary School, by offering them free clinics held after school. These clinic s were held once a week for four and a hal f weeks. The purpose of these clinics was to awaken an interest in post-elementary school activities, to inform them about hig h school competition, and to promot e sportsmanship and good pl.lblic relations

Ther~ were two co-heads of this year' s squad-Shane Tews, a reserve cheerleade r of 1982-83, and Wendy Dickinson , a new member chosen this year.

"Most people are unaware of the wo rk involved in this program," said Miss Keep , squad sponsor. "They just think that the.girl s are there to give them gifts when they do c good job, and to support the school on c 2eneral~asis.:..

Working together pays off big

Little things meant a lot to the reserve •cheerleading squad which made lots of noise but looked for quiet rewards.

" Little compliments mean so much," said reserve cheerleader Vicki Domina. " We really appreciate it when a player or an administrator tells us that they liked what we were doing. "

"We can't give any home-baked goods," said Colleen Blad, "because some feel that would take away from family time." She added that others worry that homemade food prepared for sports team could be tampered with by unscrupulous opponents

The squad proved its mettle early on by winning three blue ribbons, one red

ribbon, and two spirit sticks at a summer clinic. At that cl inic-held in late July at Springfield , Missouri-the East squad was the only one representing a high school in Nebraska.

"It was the second largest clinic in the country," noted Blad, who added that about 900 girls attended the clinic.

Another person who quickened the pulse and roused spirits was solo twirler Denise Unruh.

Although only a sophomore, Unruh had already won titles as Miss Majorette of Nebraska (two years running) and was a former state twirling and state strutting champion

"I twirl becuase it's a lot of fun and

something different," Unruh said. She spent every day practicing with the band Her routines were structured by Jody Adcox, her coach and also the coach of the Flag Corps.

Surely the most eye-catching portion of Unruh's program was twirling a baton on fire at both ends.

" It's scary at first, " she said , "and if you hi t the fire, it hurts. " Unrush sprayed a special chemical on her hair, arms, and logs before she twirled the flaming baton to protect herself.

Hard wo rk and cold toes pull through

A little adversity was all it took to bring out the best in the East High Marching Banc:f. The Band chose to grin and bear the cold weather, cold fingers, toes and mouthpieces and practice all the harder

The Band rebounded from a rating of " 2" ( excellent) at the Lincoln Public Schools · Competition held at Seacrest to a "1 " (superior) rating at the Pershing Marching Band Competition just two weeks later. Earning such high marks was not easy.

Two weeks before school began the Band was practicing from 7:30 in the morning until 7:00 at night. After school began, the Band was up and practicing at 7 :30 each morning. All the lost sleep paid off in the end.

Band -Director Duane Johnson felt many items aided the band's success. "This year we received the highest score ever since the scoring system was started," he said.

"Last year we played well, but our marching wasn't there This year our marching

and playing really came together."

Everyone felt disappointed when the ratings were read at the Seacrest competit ion. But the let down only made the Band work that much harder for the indoor Marching Contest held at Pershing. The Band's student teacher, Bob Kruger remembered, "After receiving a "2" at Seacrest, the kids in band decided to go for a "1 " at Pershing. They worked hard and achieved this goal. I was proud to be able to help "

A class act Tough schedule provides challenge

The East High orchestra was just the right class to take for those who had "classical" taste.

The orchestra gave many public performances, one of which was the All-State Orchestra Ensemble. "We try to give four formal concerts a year," said conductor Duane Johnson.

Several senior members of orchestra performed solos at some of the concerts. During their spring concert, they also had trios that performed.

Except for a few minor incidents,

students have taken good care of the new lockers. "We (the staff) are very proud of the care given to the lockers and we expect this to continue," Dr Moss said.

This year there were noofficers elected but that didn't keep the orchestra from being organized. One of their outside activities included a pizza party.

The Stage Band, otherwise known as the 70th Street Jazz Ensemble, was also directed by Duane Johnson, and performed many concerts throughout the year.

The band met every day during seventh

period This year they spent some of their time re-grouping after the loss of many of last year's seniors. "Since we have a new group, we started off with new music, and it's been fun," said senior Cindi Vavra. Their first performance was in December at the Band Parents dance. Additional concerts included the traditional FatherDaughter Dance in January, the Hastings Jazz Competition in March, and the All-City Jazz Concert in May.

MAKING 8EAUTIFUl MUSIC, Singers entertain in the East Auditorium during their first concert.

DURING PRACTICE, MARK Gaddis. Mike Schneider. and Dione DeJonge give their full attention.

New director on board

Stiff tryouts bring out the best .

An aura of excitement seemed to swirl around the blue and white robes of the Singers and Swing Choir members on their way to another stirring performance. But , long before they thought of performing, they had to pass some challenging tryouts

The new Swing Choir members were required to audition with one song of their own choice and one song that was to be sung with the senior members of their section. Following the signing tryouts, applicants next faced a dance tryout.

Students had to perform two different dance routines, one that they had practiced for several days and one that they had learned in just a few minutes. Finally, Mr. Jon Peterson made a selection of the voices that blended the best.

After the tryout process was completed, those selected put in a lot of time, dedication · and hard work to build a "winning" Swing

Choir. And win they did.

The group went to the Missouri State Competition with ·high hopes and returned with a trophy. Other places the Swing Choir \ performe~ werevarious elementary schools, the Legionnaire Club , and the Hawthorne Tribal Festival.

For those who wanted to swing with the Swing Choir, they first had to be accepted into Singers. The tryout procedures were much different, but if the hopeful singer could sing two songs of their own choice, match pitches, and sight-read successfully, he or she suddenly found themselves part of a very large family.

The Singers did have a new director, however, in Ms. Joey Evans. Evans replaced • Peterson who was on part-time leave to teach at Nebraska Wesleyan.

Singers performed three choral concerts, appeared in the musical ''Li'I Abner" in the

fall, and made an admirable showing at All-City Choir Night on February 13. They were also invited as the honor choir to Wayne State College, they put on the everpopular Expressions concert, and they made their final performance as a group at graduation ceremonies.

For all the beauty, charm, and grace of a Singers' performance, one student put the whole operation into perspective. It was also a great outlet.

"For two years," commmented Tom Viessman, "Singers was where I let out all my aggression-musically."

Five seniors, one Junior

Each year six soloists were chosen from each of the four public high schools to perform at the All-City Solo Night. This year's recital was held on January 16 in the Southeast Auditorium.

The soloists were selected the choir director at their own schools. They were allowed to chose the music they wished to perform.

East's six soloists were seniors Jana Erway, Sue Jeambey, Brad Jones, Sharon Waddle, Gretchen Zinnecker, and junior Kristin Handeland.

"I had always looked up to people who had the courage to sing in front of all four schools, so I thought I'd give it a try." said Kristin Handeland.

East-the friendly school

Council, SAB help new students

"We want to make East the friendly school," commented Principal Dr. Bill Moss, •sounding the theme for several student government projects.

"It's been a great vear for Stu-Co, " said senior cabinet member Ted Scott.

Student Council started off a blockbuster vear with their New Student Orientation. Senior members and officers took incoming students (from other junior high schools and from out-of-town) on tours of the school. Thev also introduced them to school activities and to facultv members

Blue/White Night, an annual happening for sophomores, ran smoothly under the

management of the Council. Approximatelv 350 students participated in the event, sampling booths sponsored by 11 different senior high clubs

The Council used several fundraisers to help defray the costs of the group'~ numerous activities. Their money-making projects included selling candy, showing full-length movies a~er school, and sponsoring the annual Winter Wonderland ·Dance.

The Council's newest project was their Ballloon-O-Gram promotion.

"It gets a little monotonous having to meet everv dav during lunch, " said counci l president Val Barton , but she added that

much had been accomplished during the Council's regular noon-time meetings

Late in the year, the Council developed a proposal for a student lounge. The proposal called for two seven-foot high walls to be built in the cafeteria, sectioning off a 30-square foot area that could be used to eat lunch, watch T.V., play video games, or just relax.

The Council secured the approval of both Dr Moss and Mr. Salestrom and then presented the idea to Dr. Robert Den Hartog, District Superintendent for Business Affairs If approved, the lounge would probably be ready whe,:i school opens in the fall of 1984

The other branch of student government, the Student Advisorv Board, also focused on the problems faced by new students

SAB arranged for new students to have sch o ol tours, helped set up newspaper feature art icles, and h_eld periodic new student meetings.

A second major project for the group was to provide display cases to honor past graduates SAB members scoured old yearbooks, newspaper clippings, and other records to find deserving students.

Then they had to determine guidelines a nd requ irements for recognition as a " Spartan Scho lar."

One of the bigger controversies of the year was over the selection of members . Adversaries d id not want past members to be automatically appointed to a second term w i thout review.

JUNIOR SARAH STAPl.ES felt the benefits of a new emphasis on helping transfer students when she moved to Lincoln from Springfield Illinois. She quickly become involved in both bond and Singers

Coach inspires perennial champs

Following a tradition of excellence, the forensics team had an impressive act to follow. They carried on for a school that had won the state championship in forensics seven out of the last eight years

One of the big reasons for the team's continuing success was coach Randy McCutcheon. "He's a man who really cares, " said debate captain Scot Caldwell.

"Randy works 24 hours a day for the team," commented speech captain Cara Hansen. "He sacrifices his personal time for the benefit of the team."

With that kind of dedication, it was hardly any wonder McCutcheon's teams have been so successful. Over the past eight years, more than 30 East High students have qualified for the National Forensics League National Tournament.

Another contributing factor to the team's success was a particular kind of attitude. "Randy doesn't stress 'winning, "

said Tonja Holder, "he stresses class and sportsmanship. To abuse an old cliche, if you act like a champion, you are a chem- , pion "

The forensics team made some of its most impressive performances on the road. The team won the Augustana Speech and Debate Tournament in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, besting schools from a five-state area.

Other road victories included a strong effort at Ottumwa, Iowa , where seventeen East speech team members placed in the final rankings East also did we ll at Creighton University's tournament where four first-time competitors placed.

Even if the competition was grueling, however, and the t ri ps were long, friendships and camaraderie made i t all worth while. As Tonja Holder p1.:1t it, "The tournament itself was the most strenuous, but the nights in the hotel made up-for it."

As successful as the team was, no one ever felt that winning was everything. "It's nice to win, but it isn't the most important thing," said Greg Coffey. "The most important thing is learning; developing talent in areas that will be important later on in life. Competing would still be just as enjoyable without winning because you meet so many interesting and talented people along the way. You develop friendships which will last a lifetime."

"You don't have to be talented or intelligent to be on the team," said Scot Caldwell. "Talent is something that is developed, and Randy Mccutcheon is one of the best people to develop talent."

Behind the scenes

It was all just one big act ·

"There are a Iot of activities here available to the students," said drama director Carol Scott. "They can be busy the entire school year if they want to be." Drama performances included two senior high full-length plays, a one-art play for competition, several junior high one-act plays, and crew worM for the school musical. The theatrical honor society, the International Thespian Society, was an extension of the Drama Club. In order to become a member, a student had to complete 150 hours of work on drama.

Students earned points by worMing on school plays, both through acting and technical worM, attending other plays, and helping with junior high plays.

"One of the nice things about drama and drama club is that you can be just as involved as you want to be," said Tom Viessman. "There are theater events going on all year."

Drama Club gave 51 sophomores, juniors, and seniors an opportunity to share their enthusiasm for the theater. The club met every other week, WOrMing to raise

money for the drama department, and to help students earn points for Internationa l Thespian Society.

Some of the club's activities included running the concession stand aft:er school every other Wednesday and sponsoring the senior high Turnabout Dance.

St. Louis trip inspires

Ye arbook staff strives for encore .

For the yearbook staff it was a challenge not to get stuck in a rut after the superior rating the 1983 Epic received from the Nebraska High School Press Associatior.. The goal of the staff was to maintain the high quality while adding new ideas as well.

Revising the ladder, or order of events and organizations included in the annual, was only the first step in giving the book a new look. In order to cut costs, the staff reduced the number of pages in the book by eight. The slack was mainly taken up by putting more portrait pictures on each page.

Another variation involved the use of magazine-style l9youts including the use of gray screens behind cast lists and sports \ scoreboards, kickers in addition to regular headlines, and •pictures which bled across the gutter to help unify the spread.

Probably the one change that affected the East High student body, as a whole, more than any other was the goal to include every student in the book at least twice (either in a picture or quote). This point helped sales remain high , despite a decrease in enrollment.

Sales were even different this year, since the Spartans tried a one-day sale for the first time. Students were asked to sign a card, committing themselves to purchasing

an Epic, durin~ their second period class September 28. The yearbook staff then collected money from those students later in the week.

Though students paid sixteen dollars for their annual, a dollar higher than last year, the price of the actual book had remained the same. The extra dollar merely covered the seventy-five cent sales tax on each book plus the cost of a plastic cover.

Five yearbook students (Kirsten Ameismaier, Joni Birdsall, Rich Egger, Jodi Flynn, and Marcia Miller) attended a journalism conference held in St. Louis. Each person competed in a nation-wide contest in a specific area, with Marcia Miller earning second place with her cover design

did it with color

National paper serves as model

The phenominal success of USA Today, labeled as "the nation's newspaper", triggered a new look and a new philosophy • for the Oracle staff.

The idea to create more stories of shorter length brought about a wider catalog of subjects in each of the bi-weekly editions.

Over the year the Oracle staff "learned how much work it takes to put out a newspaper that attracts the interests ofthe people at East." commented senior Stephanie Shapiro.

For the first time, the Oracle had color

( another takeoff from USA Today, known for its dynamic graphics). The color, of course, was blue, and was made possible by the business department of the newspaper.

• "Our job is to raise. money through ads," said Tom Hamilton, business manager. "We call businesses to see if they would like to run an advertisement in the Oracle."

With each member of the staff having certain responsibilities, it took total cooperation to make the Oracle a success.

The class was hard work, but still a lot of fun since the students had almost

complete editorial control. "We have more freedom at East than people at the other schools have with their papers," said Kim Cameron, who was in charge of a survey for each issue. "Dr. Moss gives us a lot of freedom."

The Oracle staff's only break came when the journalism class was assigned to write, lay out, and produce the Oracle once a semester.

With the help of returning advisor Jim Schaffer, the Oracle was once again a successful way of informing East students of the news around school.

Spanish in, French out Culture clubs also offer service

Something new and something missing marked the foreign language club scene . East High sported a new organization in the Spanish Club, but there was too little interest to sustain the French Club.

Of the three foreign language clubs, International Club held the most activities. In the fall, money was raised with a balloon toss at Blue/White Night and selling gummy bears. This money went toward the spring trip to World's of Fun, a monthly payment to a child in India, and a book donation to the school. On February 20, the club held a "foreign food" potluck.

"Our trip to World's of Fun was the big event of the year," commented International Club Vice-President Bridget Flynn

Unbeknownst to most students, the German Club was a service organization as well as a culture club.

During the summer the club entertained students from Germany. This exchange has been a traditional event for the German Club and members entertained their guests with an outdoor barbecue and a trip to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City.

In the fall the club officers organized a car wash to raise funds for Heidi Kahle. Heidi was a four-year-old girl who needed a heart transplant. When her parents were unable to pay all the money for the operation in advance, as required by the hospital, German Club members pitched in to help.

At Christmas time members of the club participated in the Salvation Army's fundraising campaign. Club members volunteered to ring bells at a local shopping center.,

Spring activities included a trip to DeWitt, Nebraska, for the Maifest, a spring festival held at Tri-County High School. The students also visited Das Schnitzelhaus in Papillion to sample authentic Viennese food.

"The German Club is a lot of fun," said Melodee Smith, President. "There is more

student involvement every year."

Other club officers included Aick Johnson, Vice-President; Jennifer Sievers, Secretary; Annette Brown, Treasurer; and Mandy Bair, Program Director.

.The officers seemed pleased with the level of involvement.

"We had a strong 20-25 members in grades 9- 1 2 this year," stated VicePresident of German Club Aick Johnson.

In its first year of existence, Spanish Club got organized early. They elected seven officers including a representative from each grade. Their club dinner and hayrack ride, however, were cancelled due

to snowstorns. Thus, all the money which was earned went toward paying for the 5 7 members to attend the Language Fair at UN-L on April 3.

Club Secretary, junior Dara Troutman, explained the money making project. "For Blue/White Night, we made pinatas. We then charged the sophomores $.50 for three hits on the pinata."

The three people largely responsible for the success of East's foreign language clubs were International Club President Beth Patterson, German Club President Melodee Smith, and Spanish ·Club President Charles Roberson.

Clubs mean business DECA overcomes bowl hat fiasco

One of the few clubs that could hold all its regular meetings during class time was the Business Club. All 16 girls studied the business field during Mrs. Carolene Skorohod's second period class.

"This year's girls want to do more things," Mrs. Skorohod commented.

The club's major event was the annual Employer Banquet on April 12. The girls each treated one of their supervisers to a meal. This occasion wasn't limited to East, but was celebrated with all the Lincoln public schools.

One of the main purposes of the club was to help students develop business skills. "I joined the club," said Denise Witfoth, "to learn how to be a secretary."

But the business world was changing rapidly, and students quickly discovered that shorthand and typing were not enough Senior Shelly Cotton said that "getting the chance to work with all the office machines·'· was what she liked best.

Cheryl Koehler, President of Business Club, felt that "Business Club has improved a lot since the beginning of the yea r."

One of the club's biggest accomplishments was a week-end shopping visit to Omaha on April 7-8. The club raised $624

to finance the trip buy selling candy included selling candy.

Another way the club helped members was in finding work. Cheryl Koehler commented, "The club got the two jobs I have now."

The group also took a tour of Southeast Community College and invited a number of speakers from the UN-L College of Business Administration.

School without DECA would be "wonderful", laughed Senior Ted Scott, President of DECA Club. A special kind of humor was indicative of a special kind of club. "(DECA) takes all the required courses and puts them to work in this club," commented sponsor Deb Payne. Students who assumed that an educational club could never be fun or exciting, however, were dead wrong about DECA.

Some of the club's projects included an investment 600 Orange Bowl hots which caused the club to lose $634. This failure was due to the "lack of proper planning", as Ted, Scott explained. Club members hod hoped a Nebraska victory in the Orange Bowl would spur sales. When the Huskers lost to Miami, sales plummeted.

Despite that downfall, they recovered

UJi~h the profits they made from the DECA Donut Stand. Few students could resist a morning donut or po-tart from the donut stand and the club netted over $1 000 proffr. What did DECA do for its members? Senior Brad Waddle felt that "Deco helped me to know people better It's a fun group, set up really well."

The group's membership included 45 future business leaders. The three officers, Ted Scott-President, Kelly Patrick-Treasurer, and Tracy Cociola-Secretary, worked hard to make the year exiting. Yet it seemed they weren ' t resonsible for all the fun.

"The officers are followers themselves, so they look at everyone for involvement," Mrs. Payne said.

Perhaps he group's most unusual activity was weekly bowling every Thrusday afternoon. In addition, the club sponsored one "fun" event every month, such as a hayrack ride in October and a wild Christmas party in December.

Fifteen DECA members qualified for state competition in business presentations. "Overall," concluded Mrs. Payne, "this year·is better than in years past, and certainly more interesting."

Learning to live independently

"Learn by doing" was the educational motto of John Dewey, and it was a motto shared by students and teachers in the vocational programs.

East had its own "Mr. Goodwrenches"the students in Mr. Kirk Stubbendeck's automotive classes. His auto mechanics classes each met for two consecutive periods, giving students more time to work on the cars.

Both staff members and other students were eager to have their automotive dilemmas solved by Stubbendeck's students. The program closely resembled a professiona I auto garage in that customers scheduled appointments and then brought their cars in at the appointed time.

Stubbendeck also supervised a vocational co-op program where students received high school credit for on-the-job training. Stubbendeck helped the students find positions with local garages and service stations.

"I try to visit them once a week," he said. "It ties business with education and

helps the student get good training. The courses may last 9-36 weeks."

Elsewhere in the industrial arts program, the focus was on several new courses. East High continued to be the only Lincoln school without an electronics course, but department head Rob Armagost was working hard to change that.

"We are always trying to better our program," Armagost said.

He also drew up a new one-quarter basic drafting class.

"The school district is planning to buy two computer-aided drafting machines that will travel from school to school," he said. The new course was geared for art and journalism students as well as regular drafting students.

Another area of the school's vocational program got a new look with the addition of two new teachers, Jan McCauley and Laurie Hovendick, in the home economics department.

Both teachers wanted to change the image of home economics classes.

'' I see the department as a way to teach pupils about all aspects of home and family life, including such things as budgeting and human relationships," Hovendick said Department offerings included courses called Independent Living and Interior Design as well as the popular course called Exploring Childhood where students ran a pre-schoo l for about four weeks.

Students did everything from a simple wash job to a complete engine overhaul. Best of all, from the customer's standpoint, the cost was low. Beyond a $5 base fee , there was no charge for labor.

Stubbendeck described the class as a good one for students who were interested · in a possible career. "It gives the kids good experience for college if they decide to take up an automotive career," he said.

For the students, the experience was enjoyable as well as educational. "I enjoy working on cars," said senior Scott· Clark "It's satisfying to get one working agai~ after it's been sick."

Teachers defend program Kerry plan threatens driver's ed

Students taking driver's education courses had a new worry on their minds. They weren't wondering so much whether a hard winter with lots of snow and ice would keep them from practicing, so · much as whether the state legislature would let them drive at all.

In his January 6 budget message, Governor Robert Kerrey called for the elimination of state-supported Driver's Education, a cut that would save the state more than $1.2 million next year.

The average cost of Driver's Ed was about $1 52 per student. The state normally reimbursed $80 per student to the school district, a little more than half the total cost.

According to Kile Nightingale, traffic safety consultant for the State Dept. of Education, at least 70 percent of the public school Driver's Ed programs now operating would die without the reimbursement.

"If the funding is cut," says Nightingale, "most schools won't have the money to

make up the difference."

Radio station KUN took a poll asking Iisteners whether or not state aid for Driver's Ed should be continued. The response was 73% in favor of keeping state aid; 27% were against state aid.

Mr Robert Eyth, Driver's Ed instructor at East High, noted several reasons for retaining state aid.

1 Teenagers need to be taught to drive by professionals. If not for their sake, then for public safety.

2. The program has too much to offer to cut funding. For example, drinking, drugs, and driving are discussed in depth.

3. 94 percent of the student body enrolls in this elective.

4. Insurance rates would be much higher without Driver's Ed.

5. No professional training schools exist in Lincoln.

Mr. Eyth also noted that the money spent for Driver's Ed was less than one

percent of the total money spent on traffic highway safety.

Insurance rate increases were a big concern for both teenagers and their par~nts. A seventeen-year-old male who had taken Driver's Education could save $76 every six months on insurance premiums. Females could expect $30 every six months.

Mr. William 8. Snyder, President of the Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) , summarized the feeling of insurance companies toward Driver's Education.

"To drive or not to drive is not the question," he said. "If you know teenagers, you know they wi II drive as soon as they can, whene'(er they can, wherever they can

"The real question is how well they will drive. For the accident statistics of the 16-20 year-old drivers we insure, we know that those who have taken driver education incur almost ten percent fewer losses than those who have not."

Special interests no conflict

A number of special interest clubs gave students opportunities to hold a festival, ski down a mountain, or help support their favorite team.

The senior high Art Club opened its membership to junior high students for the first time. According to club sponsor, Mrs. Donna Wilson, declining participation convinced her to invite junior high students to participate in the club's activities.

Those activities included making and selling buttons for Blue/White Night, selling Christmas and Valentine's Dav cards, and sponsoring a Halloween costume contest.

"The basic purpose of the Art Club," Wilson said, "is to give students an opportunity to explore the world of art and their own artistic ability outside the classroom."

The club's most popular activity was its annual Spring Arts Festival, held March 27 in the courtyard.

Another club which gave students a chance to do something outside the classroom, wav outside the classroom, was the Ski Club.

The club held meetings during the school year on ski techniques, but its major

project was a ski trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, over semester break. Forty-five club members made the trip, plus Ski Club sponsors Willie Sapp and Tim Spahn.

The group traveled by bus and stayed in condominiums at the ski site. During semester break, two other groups-the East High Band and the Singers-also sponsored ski trips.

A new club, the Runners Club, got off on the right foot with a small number of members. The club was sponsored by cross country coaches Jim McConnell and Pat Shuman.

"Our most loyal member," commented McConnell, "was also the person with the best name for our group-John Running ."

A science-oriented club, the Future Physicians Club, was again 5P-Onsored by Mr Doug Wilson.

Some sports had their own support groups. These included the East Guard , which supported the swim teams, and the Reversals

The East High Reversals, a group organized to support the Spartan wrestling team, took manv steps to become more

organized in its second year as a chartered club. The first step was to elect officers "We elected officers this year because we had more members," said President Lori McMurtry. "We also had regular meetings which helped our membership grow.". During regular home meets, the group helped get mats ready and worl<ed in the concession stand. Throughout the season, the group supplied the team with fruit and pins (baby pins painted with LE were given to each wrestler when he pinned an opponent) The Reversals also attended some of the out of town tournaments.

Officers included President Lori McMurtrv, Vice-President Sharon Waddle, Secretary Linda Witt, Treasurer Jennv Chou, Fund-raising Chairperson Jennifer Forl<er, and Recruiting Officer Dan Witters.

Despite a sub-par season by the wrestling, team, the Reversals kept up their enthusiasm.

"There were a lot more people involved this year and the group was a lot more organized," said Vice-President Sharon Waddle. "I think that shows spirit."

Swim show features love Boat theme

The East Dollfins kicked off their season with tryouts in November For the tryouts, • the girls had to display an array of strokes plus a number of special stunts.

Some of these stunts included swimming feet first, swimming · head first, and swimming under water. Prospects also had to perform a Catalina, Barracuda, ballet leg, belly kip, and an Eiffel Tower to become aDollfin.

Practices began on January 26 with 12 returnees and an evenly-mixed group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The girls started working toward the production of their synchronized swimming show called "Isle of the Dollfin."

"Preparing for the show and putting up decorations is a lot of fun," said junior Aesa Aeffert. "It brings all the girls closer

together."

The Dollfins practised every day, starting seventh period and continuing until 5:30 under the supervision of seventh-year sponser Debbie Salyards. Officers were chosen from among the 25 Dollfins to help chair each of the fifteen different acts that made up the show.

Officers included President Kris Korber, Vice-President Kristen Luthans, Secretary Sharon Waddle, Treasurer Renee Smith, and Decorations Chairman Aesa Aeffert.

The show, which was held March 1 5 and 16, featured love themes and jungle music. Notables such as "Surfin' USA, ". "All Night Long," "Never Gonna let You Go," "Love Will Find a Way," and the "Love Boat Theme" were part of the program.

An added attraction of the show was

the variety of costumes worn for the different acts. They were purchased from catalogs and also sewn by a seamstress, Mrs. Rude.

Also taking part in the show were eight senior boys-Jeff Smith, Kelly Pasco, Mike Healey, Scott Patterson, Doug Koenig, Scott Crimmins, Chris Murphy, and Curt Stingley.

The girls picked up a lot of water balle t skills, and the show itself proved to be c good learning expeirience.

"The girls have the responsibility of producing an act and performing in a show," said Mrs. Salyards. "But it's all done fo r pleasure."

"It takes time, and it's more of a responsibrlity than you would expect, " concluded senior Stephanie Shapiro. "But, i t is worth it!"

Enthusiasm makes up for low numbers

A host of intellectuals showed their strength and joined the Computer Club, Math Club, or Chess Club . Some even joined more than one club.

There were 14 members of Chess Club but they were always willin to take i n more members. As club president Craig Herzinger said of Chess Ch.Jb, "It's a chance for people to get together and play chess and improve their game.

An interest in computers was all that was required for membership in Computer Club , and that interest was not hard to find. \

The 1 5 enthusiastic members of Computer Club set up inter-club programming competitions and "other fun stuff , " according to Computer Club president Edgars Circenis.

" Computer Club has a five-year mission to partake in programming, to develop new

languages, and build Clyde, the cancrushing robot," said Circenis. "If and when we get funds, only the sky will be the limit."

All three clubs were open to everyone and encouraged people to join. As Edgar Circenis said, "Check it out, mate."

Boundaries end declining enroHment

The Lincoln Board of Education approved

• new school boundaries during December and January meetings that would take ~ffect with the start of the 1985-86 school year

The decision attempted to halt a declining enrollment at East. While Lincoln High remained the largest high school in the state, East fell to a position about halfway down among the schools in Class A.

Lincoln East Junior High was directly affected by the boundary changes Part of the new policy stated that seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students residing in the Colonial Hills area had the option to attend East Junior High for the 1984-85 school year, provided that an application was turned in before the deadline Ninth grade students who lived in the affected areas of Lefler Junior High also had the option to attend East

The difficulties involved in changing boundaries were large ones. Months of discussion led up to the new boundary changes as Board members heard complaints, questions, and shouts of protest

• The administrators of East Junior and Senior High held a meeting ·January 10 to discuss with parents and students living in the new boundary areas the educational program that East offered. A survey was distributed to all of the parents and students in order to get the viewpoints of those people who were affected by the new policy.

According to the survey, parents felt that the main advantages of having their child attend East were the combined sixyear junior/senior high program and the overall strength of the science and math courses. The main disadvantage , they felt , was the lack of transportation t? and from

school.

Students said they felt that the math coures East offered were an advantage. Some students did not want to attend East because their friends were going to attend Pound Junior High or Southeast Hfgh School.

The new boundaries for the senior high included the Colonial Hills ( east of 56th Street and south of Pioneers) as well a s the Hawthorne School district east of 48th Street.

Senior Renee Smith attended Pound Junior High and would have attended Southeast if her family hadn't moved into the East district But Renee did attend East and became actively involved.

"If they (Pound students) enter East wanting to make friends and get involved in activities, th~n chances are that they will be able to," she said. "They have to make the effort ; no one can do it for them."

Speaker hard to find

East tops stot

For a while in Morch it appeared as though there would be no guest speaker for the annual Honors Convocation. The Community Advisory Committee, which was in · charge of obtaining a speaker, tried unsuccessfully to get Governor Bob Kerrey and former Lincoln Mayor Helen Boosalis.

Finally, just three weeks before the assembly, Stanley Liberty, the Deon of the Engineering College at the University of Nebraska, agreed to be the guest speaker.

Students who mode honor roll were recognized at the Honors Convocation. These students hod to hove received grades of 1 or 2 in at least 20 credit hours with no foiling grades to be recognized.

After the recognition of Honor Aoll students, the 11 5 members of the Notional Honor Society received Certificates of Award.

Other academic honors included East's eleven Notional Merit Scholarship Finalists. These students were port of a select group representing less than half of one percent of American high school seniors.

'Tm proud to be port of such on elite group," said Melodee Smith, one of the

e in Merit Finalists

Finalists. - "I feel it hos opened a lot of college doors for me ."

The finalists were eligible to compete for scholarships awarded by the Notional Merit Scholarship Program. No other school in Nebraska hod as many finalists.

" It's unusual to hove that number in any school," said William Moss, Principal. "I think we're blessed to hove such outstanding scholars.''

Mott Longemeier, Fronk Tong, and Lindo Witt were chosen as Presidential Scholarship Semi-finalists According to Assistant Principal Francis Arthur, that was a special honor.

"I feel that to be a Presidential Finalist is perhaps more outstanding than to be a Merit Finalist," he said. "Not only must you be on outstanding scholar, you must also be on outstanding person and hove contributed a lot to your school and your community." There were only 141 Presidential Scholarships available throughout the notion.

Foreign language students also received many awards. Aick Johnson, Mott Longemeier, and Tony Varone scored in the 90th percentile on the Notional Germon

Test.

French, Spanish, and Germon students participated in the Language Fair at UN-Lon April 3 where many received awards. ''The purpose of toking a foreign language is not just to learn a second language," explained Aick Johnson, "it is to learn about other peoples and other cultures."

Juniors Amy Garwood and Jeon Lu were selected as finalists in the NCTE writing competition.

Sheryl Blad was chosen as Lincoln's Junior Miss and Valerie Borton was selected as the second runner-up. Fifteen high school seniors competed in the pageant.

Senior Jackie Kuenning was Nebraska's entrant into the Miss Teen pogent held in Florido.

Whether the honors come for beauty, brains, or brawn, however, East students shored a sense of accomplishment with parents and teachers. "Their recognition is a tribute to the student body osnd the entire staff," Moss said.

~ ACTIVI Tl ES~

The halls were still, the doors were locked, but more than one light was burning at East High. The , •administrators were busy planning, the counselors were calling parents, play practice was in progress, and the cheerleaders were working overtime. East High was caught up in the spirit-students were puttin' on the ritz in activities.

"Everybody really puts forth their best effort and the final product is always great/' explained senior Elizabeth Eddins in describing the production of school plays and musical events.

In pep rallies, production came in the form of spirit and pride. Students were willing to go

beyond the usual expectations and make their spirit something special. Production of an exciting Spirit Week sparked enthusiasm from all three classes.

"Spirit Week was for anyone who was willing to put forth some eff.ort," said Jenny Chou.

Not a week went by without some form of student activity, whether it was a Singers concert, an orchestra performance, a pep rally, a dance, or simply a party. Eventually, everyone felt that glow of satisfaction when the final curtain felt the last note of the last song died away, or the winner of some contest was announced.

Saturday Homecoming a first Hardwork and effort pay off

Students found a special reason for that Saturday night bath when they attended the Homecoming game and dance Oct. 8, held for the first time on a Saturday.

Many students and a large number of graduates returned to the East High cafeteria that night to make the dance a success. The theme of the dance was "Celebrate Me Home" and the band was the Star City Players.

Preparations for homecoming began long before the first person went through the turnstiles at the game or the band played its first notes. The Spirit Club planned, sponsored, and ran the dance. This involved many lunch meetings between Mrs. Ann Barry and the Spirit Club officers

"Planning the dance was a lot of hard work," commented Jenny Chou, Spirit Club Vice-President, "and it took many hungry l~nch hours, but ,seeing everyone have fun evening.

Saturday was a busy day for all. Spirit Club members helped prepare snacks for

the concession stand and sold concessions that night at the game.

"Homecoming night was very hectic, with the game and dance," said junior Pam Tatro. During the hal~ime show, the band marched, the cheerleaders and Apollonaires performed, and the royalty candida~es were introduced. Fortunately, the football team won the game, defeating Fremont.

At 11 :30 Saturday night the Homecoming royalty were announced. Doug Koenig and Beth Gonzales were crowned King and Queen. Other Court members included Laura Shriner, Linda Witt, Michelle Semin, Jackie Keunning, John Strasheim, Mike Ogborn, Scott Crimmins, and Charles Robberson.

Spirit Club sponsor Mrs. Ann Barry summarized the thoughts of many when she said, "Homecoming was really great this was worth it. " Decoration sc:hemes and

refreshments, as well as royalty balloting, were planned weeks in advance.

Friday night a~er school the Spirit Club assembled to decorate for the dance.

"Decorating was a lot of work ·a~ time consuming," said sophomore Suzanne Carter, " but I had fun and I'll do it again next year."

One-Act takes second

Unusual themes highlight plays

The fall play entitled "David and Lisa" was produced by more than fi~y cast and crew members.

The play was performed " in the round" on September 29. 30, and October 1 for appreciative crowds. Director Carol Scott staged the play in that manner because "It deals with a very serious topic. The intimacy of theater in the round helped us create the right mood."

Written by James Aeach, "David and Lisa" tells the story of two teenagers with problems. One of the teenagers cannot stand to be touched and the other has a split personality. The lead roles were played by Steve Lewis and Beth Gonzales

Four months later the drama depart- \ ment wa~ at it again. preparing for the District One-Act Play Competition held at Northeast High School on Jan. 18.

For this contest. Director Scott created a script from selected scenes of a play called "The Dining Aoom" by A. A. Gurney, Jr. Set in the dining room of a large house. the bitter-sweet comedy focused on how a single room affected the lives of its various owners.

For the record. East High placed second in the competition. "I like competing," said cas t member Bob Henrichs, "because it gives us a chance to see what other schools are doing We're proud of our show no

matter how we finish."

Two of the members of the cast. Tom Viessman and Bob Hinrichs. were recognized for outstanding performances. Other cast members included Valerie Barton, Ann Makinson. Bob Henrichs, Bryceson Watson, David Burrow, Cindie Gamble, Melanie Mason, Charles Roberson, Chris Vogt, and Jenny Eberly.

A public performance was given in the East High auditorium on Jan. 26 for the student body. Admission was free and many students said they enjoyed the 30minute performance .•

The show, put on by the East High Singers, drew a crowd of more than 1,000 people over a three-day run from Nov 10-12. "All three shows were a smashing success," said senior Bruce Schroer.

New choir director Ms Joey Evans and drama teacher Miss Carol Scott pulled the show together with the help of Mrs. Tracey Gabelman-Hart who choreographed the dances.

"Ms Evans and Scotty worked well in

putting the musical together," said senior Undo Witt.

"I think it would have been one of the hardest jobs to take over," commented junior Karen Hoyt, referring to the fact that Evans had to replace Mr. Jon Peterson , the former choir director. "Ms Evans has provec;j herself to be hard-working , dedicated, and a great person. Everyone needed to give her at least a chance and I think everyone did "

"li'I Abner" had plenty of parts to give every Singer a chance to get involved, but there were many long and tiring hours of practice. The diligent members of the

orchestra and back stage crew also drew well-deserved compliments.

"You could tell the orchestra put in a lot of work as well as the people behind the scenes," said junior Kristen Handeland.

The final week proved both exciting and exhilarating. "It was a lot more productive than what I thought we could do," concluded senior Molly Hayden.

Dance had a twist

Dads, daughters enjoy dance

About 1 00 dads and daughters attended the Father-Daughter Dance, which was sponsored by the junior class on Jan.12.

East's stage band performed a variety of popular songs from the S0's and 60's. They included many old favorites:-the tango, waltz and the very fast-paced twist.

The junior class officers, Bruce Lundak, Lisa Christensen, Stephanie Digman, and Kathy Borman, officiated for the look-alike and the dance contests.

Many hopefuls entered the look-alike

contest. Those left in the audience Judged by clapping which daughter best resembled her father.

A tie between the Erickson duo and the Gutz's developed, so a coin toss went into effect. The coin was tossed by the Picture Man. It turned up heads, giving Beth Gutz and her father the trophy

The dance contest was next. Everyone began dancing, and when the song was over, if the couples had not been touched on the shoulder by one of the judges (French

teacher Ms. Dress or senior high counselor Mr. Goochey), they were asked to leave the dance floor

Senior Sheryl Blad and her father, with their fast paced twirls and swirls, eventually won the contest. They too were awarded a small gold trophy.

This final contest ended at 10:00 p.m., and with its conclusion, many weary dancers decided to wander home. It had been an enjoyable evening.

Spirit Week smacks of sophomores

What had education come to? Seniors came to school dressed in three-piece suits • or dresses with heels, juniors came dressed as hippies, and sophomores came looking like their parents must have looked thirty veers ago with felt skirts and greased-back hair. The occasion? Spirit Week, of course.

Each class chose a theme for the week's activities. The senior theme was "Leave it to Peter," the junior theme was "The Spartan of Oz," and the sophomore theme was "Greast."

The purpose of Spirit Week," explained sponsor Ann Barrv, "is to generate spirit among the classes. Februarv is a dull time of the vear, and Spirit Week hopefullv helps the students make it through the vear."

The week began Februarv 6. Each class chose a dress code for the week. Some examples were the seniors' Dress-for-Sue- : cess Dav, the juniors' Happv Hippie Day,

and the sophomore~· Tourist Dav.

On Wednesdav each- class was assigned a hallwav in the school and given a -few hours that evening to decorate the hall. The hall decorations were designed to carrv out each class's theme.

On Thursdav each class pre~nted a ten-minute skit during an a~ernoon pep rallv. The skits climaxed several weeks of feverish preparation.

"We first got together 19 davs before Spirit Week," recalled sophomore Amv Shriner. "With 12 days le~. we wrote the script but we didn't finish the last prop for · our skit until a few moments before we presented it."

The sophomores also had to overcome a big setback when Sean Stewart, the star of their skit, sprained nis ankle Just a ·tew davs before the big pep rolhJ. -fortunatelv,

Jim Kittell was able to step in and take over for Stewart.

The Spirit Week championship wa s determined on the basis of the decorations, the skit, and the overall spirit shown during the week. The sophomores won the decoration portion of the contest and the juniors reigned in the skit competition.

The overall winner was the sophomore class in a big upset. "We never expected to win," Shriner said, "but we alwavs though t we would do well."

The sophomores had barely reaped their award before thev started planning fo r the future.

"Our goal for next year is to begi r three weeks before Spirit Week," said Gr~ Heinzmann.

Just once a month

Cranking up that ol' school spirit

For many , the monthly pep rallies were an opportunity to miss a few mi nutes of class but not everyone real ized j ust how much work had gone into fi ftee n mi nutes worth of entertainment a nd revelry

The Cheerleaders were in cha rge of planning the pep ra lli es and according to squad members, ~allies were difficu l t to organize

For one thing, cheerleaders were only allowed to schedule one morning pep rally a month. The new restriction on the number of rallies had been adopted city-wide in an effort to protect student instructional time

The new rule meant that each pep rally had to make the most of the time a l lotted. But not all students appreciated the change "The purpose of pep rallies is to

bui Id up the sp i ri t and when the number pep rallies are cu t doµJn part of the school is cut down ," said sen ior J:< i m Cameron. \

Cheer l eader Molly Hayden remembered that " the squad ' s ma in objective was to make sure the pep rallies were worth i t. We did n't ever want to waste the students ' or teachers' time with a boring pep rally-it embarrassed us just as much as it bored others "

The cheerleaders' goal was to do as many different and unusual skits as possible and to use a wide variety of students Some fun skits were the kissing contest and p i es- in- the-face . " We've tried to do a lot with the Apollona ire s and Reserve Cheerleaders in p romo ti ng spir i t ," explained Lori Kathe " We

asked them to do different routines with the Varsity Cheerleaders plus their own specia l things."

The band played faithfully at each pep rally. " The band supported the cheerleaders ; it was nice to have them at each pep rally," commented Marge Keep , cheerleading sponsor.

"We enjoyed playing at the pep rallies," said Jenny Jurgens, senior Drum Major. "We feel like an important part of the school. "

The cheerleaders also used the faculty more than in previous years. "Spirit is an overall aspect that needs the teachers ' support as much as the students , '' explained Shane Tews.

-------------·SPORTS ~·~

The name of the game this year was desire, and the fashion was intensity. Deep inside every athlete was the desire to succeed.

Athletes love competition. They struggle for a goal, but attaining that goal is not what makes them the happiest. It is the intensity of the struggle, the fashion of desire, not the victory.

The happiness derived through competition was easily seen on the faces of both co~ches and players. The football team was very successful. Their actions, both on the field and off, revealed the fun they hod while ploying.

Smiles were seen on the faces of volleyball playe~ as they tried to "relax and play volley-

ball." They tried to hove fun playing the game, and were successful most of the time.

East athletes hod different ways of expressing their desire. Each form of expression was unique, but usually recognizable to the outside observer.

Athletes, sidelined by injuries, were frustrated by the fact that they couldn't contribute their talent to the team. For some, like John Strasheim, there was a future. But for others, like Vicki Domino, a high school injury meant the end of a promising gymnastics career.

In the pages to come, you will read of wins, losses, and statistics. But the most important statistic, desire, cannot be measured. Desire stems from the heart.

Surprising Spartans reach playoffs

Before the season even began.no one believed that the Spartans would make it to the-playoffs.They weren't even rated in ;the pre-season polls. But when the dust had settled.they were City.Conference, and District Champions and also finished in the State Semi-Finals.

The Spartans changed their offensive strategy to utilize the arm of Second-Tearn SuperState quarterback Scott Crimmins This change involved putting the tight end in motion and shi~ing the running backs to unbalance the opponents defense and provide a more potent passing attack.

"The new offense was easier for me ( as the quarterback) to run," Crimmins said, "because there weren't as many options to run compared to the old veer." The switch paid off, as East defeated pre-season favorite Grand Island 16-0 in the season opener

However, in that game, and manv of the others, it was the defense which pre~erved the victorv. With the loss of co-captain Johr

Varsity Football

Strasheim to a costly inju,v, the defe:1se had to pull together. They counted on _ successive quarterback sacks by Steve Kirk, and an interception by Doug Koenig, to shut- out the Islanders.

"We got tremendous leadership from our seniors," Charles Roberson said. "Considering all of the injuries we had, · we accomplished a lot of goals, and had an ·excellent season."

"This year, we won the close games," said junior defensive lineman Tim Harrington And that they did Of their eleven games, six were won by a touchdown or less, and two of their last three games were won by one point.

Doug Koenig lead the team in rushing yardage. Car,ving the ball l 02 times, Koenig gained 4 72 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead Spartan ground attack. He also returned seven punts for 142 yards That was an average of 20.3 yards per return.

Rob Fangman was the leading Spartan

receiver gaining 512 yards and scoring two touchdowns. When he wasn't catching footballs, he was punting them. He had fortytwo punts for an average of 32 yards per punt.

On the defensive side of the ball, Scott Baker lead the team in unassisted tackles with fifty-five. Next behind Baker was junior Pat McCashland who had thirty-six tackles and made one interception.

But the key to the Spartan attack was the play of the linemen . Whether it was the offense, or the defense, the play of the linemen determined the outcome of the game. In nine of eleven cases, it was a favorable outcome, the one which shows the consistent' play of both the offensive and defensive lines.

The outcome of the season was questionable at the start.but junior Matt Jewett summed it up when he said, "As the season progressed, we gained confidence in each other, and we knew we would go far."

Injuries hurt both squads

Coaches pleased with performances

Steady improvement could not completely overcome a rash of injuries for both the reserve and sophomore football teams.

The reserve team finished with a 4-4 record while the sophomore team recorded a 2-5 campaign.

'' Injuries hurt us, but I'm satisfied with the season," said reserve play Doug Helm Actually only three teams were able to beat the reserves as they lost to Southeast twice.

The reserves started strong but playing two games in one week and the loss of starter Mike Forsberg to an injurv took its toll.

"It's difficult to single out players with all the talent we had," said Coach Bill Kechley, ''but Matt Kirkland and Tom Massey both did well filling in for Forsberg."

The reserve running game was handled by ChingJohsnon, Tim Costello, PatMcCashland, Tim Kuester, and Brett Frith. "The pass defense needs improvement, but this will come with time," concluded Doug Helm.

Although the sophomore team did not have a winning season, the players learned and grew closer together as teammates.

" The team had a lot of talent, but we

couldn't get it together," said sophomore player Dave Frey.

"I felt good about the team's performance at the last two games," commented Coach Frank McEntaffer.

Credit on offense went largely to the line. "The offensive line did really well," said Tom Massey. On defense top players included Scott Oswald and Tom Kubert.

Both reserve and sophomore coaches agreed, however, that thev felt pleased with the plovers thev would be sending up to the varsitv next veor.

Spartans fall short of second title

When a team enters the season as the defending Class A champions, the added pressure may be too much to handle. But this year's varsity volleyball team faced that pressure, and still turned in some top performances.

With seven seniors, five of them returning letter-winners, the team was swelling with leadership. Laura Brinton and Jena Janovy, the only returning starters, used their game experience from last year to help the team to some early victories.

The first victory for the Spartans was over Omaha Marian, eventual Class A Champion.

"We were able to play with the top competition in the state throughout the season. We were a young team, but a good team," said Coach Oehlerking. "Everyone worked hard to make it a good team."

Juniors Julie McMahon and Julie Vermeer

earned a spot in the starting lineup. They lead the team, respectively, in serving and spiking aces. Janovy lead the team with a 99% setting accuracy, and ~e scored the most points, followed closely by McMahon

"Our hitting got better because we started placing our hits" said Brinton ~"but, I think our biggest team improvement was in covering our hitters We practiced a lot on how to be in the right position."

Seniors Becky Bruening and Aenee Green also started in key positions for the Spartans. Bruening switched positions early in the season, and provided the team with some devestating outside hitting. Green played her most consistent volleyball in the middle of the season, and came on strong again in the state tournament.

Stacy Houser and Jeanine Tharp played in crucial situations, too. Tharp was a defen-

sive specialist, and Houser played a key role in the district tournament.

With all of these contributions, the Spartans qualified for the state tournament and played weU against Fremont. They finished sixth in the state, and had several members named to the All-City team.

"We played the best volleyball when we were confident about ourselves," said Janovy. "We had the desire to do well, and we did. I just wish we could have played Marian at the end of our season and beaten them like we did at first."

Winning isn't everything

N's and sophsend season on high note

" I think we had a successful season. We learned how to work together on the court, taking responsibility for getting our job done," said junior Aesa Aeffert.

She and Debbie Howser were the only two juniors on the Junior Varsity volleyball team. "People expected a lot from us, so we worked hard all of the time, and tried to take responsibility during practices. "

"If you look at our record, we weren't very successful. But if you look at the improvements made by each individual, you would see we were very successful," assessed N setter Kerry Kaura.

The Sophomore and Junior Varsity teams were very similar. Both were primarily composed of sophomores, except for Aeffert and Howser, and each team had to learn

how to work together.

"Working with new people was hard at first, but I think we improved on that aspect of our game as the season progressed," said Aeffert. She and Howser lead the young team to a third place finish in the city, and a fourth place finish in the Junior Varsity Tournament held at East.

The new sophomore team showed improvement too Their main goal for the season was to improve on fundamentals, while having fun.

"Serving was the biggest improvement our team made," sophomore hitter Chrissy Hawkins said. Setter Stephanie Antczak agreed, but also cited the improved team play.

"We learned, as the season progressed,

how to play more consistently," she said Sophomore coach Barb Hart viewed Antczak as one of the most improved players on the team. "Stephanie's serving improved greatly She also learned to anticipate where the ball was going, and what play she had to make."

Both teams finished third in the city, winning their final game of the season. N coach Cindy Golden looked back on the season and saw many good things.

"We had to learn how to play together, and I think that we accomplished that goal. Everyone's individual skills improved so much that I was able to play lots of people throughout the season. In that sense, we had a very successful season."

Seventh in State Trimble leaves with love

A record number of participants gave the boys tennis team plenty of depth and lots of enthusiasm, not to mention plenty of competition for playing time.

A total of 38 boys turned out for tennis, a new record for East High and, as it turned out, the largest number of players out for tennis at any school in the state.

The season also marked the swan-song for long-time coach Jerry Trimble who retired from coaching to devote more time to a new job as president of the Nebraska Amateur Golf Assocation.

"I was a little skeptical about how good

we'd be before the season," Trimble said. 'We only had two varsity players coming back."

The Spartans began practice hopeful that one of the top sophomores in the state was transferring to East from Lincoln Christian , but the student's family later moved to California. "There was a 'He's coming~ he's not coming' feeling for the first couple weeks which hurt our just getting on with the season," Trimble said .

In spite of the slow start, the team soon shifted to high gear. An important early competition was the Papillon Invitational where East placed seventh.

"I usually take our place at Papillon and

divide it by two and that's our place at

The Spartans' seventh place finish at Papillon matched their final state ranking.

"We d idn't do any better than expected," said #2. doubles player Danb Witters, " but we didn ' t do any worse."

All of East's state qualifiers lost to an eventual medal winner and #l singles player Steve Kirby made it to the semifinals, losing only to the eventual state champion.

The highlight of the season probably came at the Trans-Nebraska Meet where the Spartans finished second. The doubles team of David Tao and Steve Brugman finished first in #l doubles and the team of Alan Massengale and Dan Witters placed second in #2. doubles

"My last year was my best," Trimble concluded. "I am leaving coaching while I still love it."

Hardy five make up golf team

"This year , we were shooting for better scores. Next year, we'll be more experienced , and ready to shoot for some top competitors in the state ," junior Kim Gaber said about her experience as a Spartan golfer.

With only one senior on the te am, there were many opportunities to gain experience. Each golfer needed to be at each meet, or

the team would have to forfeit.

"Everyone had to produce in order for us to do well. We only had five players, but we ' re hoping to get more people out next year ," said Gaber.

In the presence of their new coach , Kim Wiseman, the g i rls tried to change their form in order to hit the ball further. The change

began to pay off as they earned a second place fini sh i n the Lincoln Public Schools meet.

Improvement followed, and most of the g i rls cut the number of strokes they took. "Next year, I plan on improving my stroke even more, but this year I feel I improved a lot," said Laura Deppen.

Fans travel to cheer teams Experimental -mouthpiece tested

East High players appreciated the vocal, and often, fervent support of the parents in the Booster Club.

The Club followed varsity and reserve teams at home and away, sometimes carpooling and sometimes by scheduling chartered buses.

East High students also enjoyed the presence of Omahan Dave Vasquez, a virtual fixture at Spartan games for the past several years. Vasquez "adopted" the Spartans almost ten years ago and has the followed the teams ever since.

The football team got another boost from the stands but in an unusual way. Dr. Michael Wilson, husband of East art teacher Donna Wilson, developed a new mouthpiece for the varsity players.

The special feature of the new mouthpiece was that it was completely individualized.

"A mold of the person's upper teeth is made," Wilson said. "After the mold is made, a sheet of plastic is melted into the form of the teeth."

Wilson said that the advantages of the

new mouthpiece were many. "This mouthpiece is not as bulky as the commercial brands It also does not have a strap to get in the way. With it, you can speak and breathe a little easier.''

According to assistant football coach Lynn Young, the players noticed all the advantages Wilson spoke of

Unfortunately, however, it was not expected that the use of this particular mouthpiece would become widespread because of the cost involved.

Young harriers run hot and cold

The cross countiv season began in 100 degree-plus weather and ended at the state meet in cold , windy, forty-degree conditions.

"The season went about as well as I expected," said Coach Jim Mc Connell, "but not as good as I had hoped."

"I would have liked for the boys to have placed third in the state."

Nonetheless, there were still some pleasing performances during the season. Pam Wiley's strong second place and Scott Hollestelle's gold medal winning perform-

once highlighted the state meet and both boys' and girls' teams placed second at districts meet.

"We had a lot of new people this year," Coach Mc Connell said, "but all the kids had a good general attitude and worked hard in practice to improve themselves."

Scott Hollestelle, in his first year of cross country, pulled an upset to win the overall gold medal and the class A crown at state, while state favorite, Kelly Pasco, finished sixth. Pam Wiley led the East girls at state and came within twelve seconds of the

leader, Shona Jones of Hastings

During the season, Senior Kelly Pasco finished first at York, at the Lincoln High Invitational, in the Southeast dual meet, and won three others-Trans-Nebraska, Lincoln Public Schools Championships, and districts. Scott Hollestelle won the Nebraska Wesleyan and Grand Island meets in addition to winning State.

Senior Pam Wiley won all her meets except for three second-place finishes at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational, Lincoln Invitational, and the state meet.

The team trailed throughout the district meet and chances for victory hung one the final event. Gary Timberlake finished his routine and the scores came in. East had emerged the victorious team in TransNebraska , and Timberlake had recorded his highest score of the season.

"We had a slow start and didn't reach our full potential until the end of the season," commented head coach Dave Eppert The bovs gvmnastics team finished with a 5-1

record and placed fifth in the state meet. Individually, Timberlake recorded a fifth place finish in the all around event at state Timberlake got a slow start due to an injury •but made steadv progress as the season went along. "He never reached his full potential," said Coach Eppert, "because he hurt his ankle."

Other Spartan leaders during the season included Bruce Frogge who won the allaround event at the Bellevue West Invitational. "He did a super job on the floor and on the parallel bars," said Eppert.

Todd Eastman showed tremendous improvement, especiallv on the floor exercise and vault. Eppert said he was also one of the best on the team on the parallel bars.

Tv Eldien was the onlv sophomore on the varsitv team. "You'll be seeing a lot ofT v next season," said Shotkoski. ChrisMuehling and Steve Bartels also did well, he added, on the pommel horse.

But the best news for the Spartans was that Timberlake, who has only been competing in gvmnastics for a veer and a half, will be back for another season. ' ' I'm looking forward to it," he said

Gymnasts overcome inexperience

ltwasaseasonofrebuildingforthegirls gymnastics team. With the graduation of some of last year's top competitors, the young Spartan team was left with major positions to fill.

"We've had to work harder this year because we don't have as many good people as we did last year. There have been more injuries, too," said junior Beth Gutz. The key to the team's success was hard work and dedication in practice. Seniors Kristin Luthans and Tracy Nelson also provided leadership for the young squad. Getting ready for a performance required both physical and mental practice.

Before each meet, they thought through every mount, flip, twist, and dismount before actually doing them.

The team was very successful, but did suffer some major setbacks. Witt, the lossofa 11-arounder Vicki Domina, who had added confidence and spark, the team had to pull together for a strong finish.

"We had team meetings and intersquad meets against each other_ to build our confidence before the end of our season," said sophomore Wendy Bumstead.

With a first place finish at the TransNebraska meet in Beatrice, and a second place finish in the District meet, the team _

gained a needed sense of confidence to be a top contender at the state meet.

"We were hoping to get a second place finish at state," said Gutz. But, unfortunately, the team failed to qualify for the finals, falling just .05 points behind Kearney.

The team ended its season with some top performances at the state meet. Kristin Luthans scored her highest mark of the season in the vaulting competition. Melissa Meinecke scored 8.95 on her way back to a fourth place finish on the uneven parallel bars. Beth Gutz finished fifth on the balance beam, and Donna Weidner fifth with her floor -exercise.

·Wrestlers have district champion

White helps save frustrating season

There are a good and a bad side to all things, and the wrestlers had heavv doses of both.

The team finished a disappointing 0-7in dual meets, but had a district champion in Sean White, and qualified four wrestlers for the state tournament.

The qualifiers included 112-pounder Sean White, 119-pounder Jeff Bredensteiner, 126-pounder Paul Vensky, and 145-pound~r Mike -Fox. Vensky advanced the farthest, getting to the third round, while the other three fell in the first rounds of their active weight classes.

Second-year coach Tim McDonald said he felt the team could have done better in duals if "more people would give wrestljng a try. People stand around out in the halls after school...when they could be trying to learn to wrestle."

Injuries were a factor also. John Haldiman, a state title hopeful, was plagued by back problems throughout the year. In the district meet, things were looking good for Haldiman when his back acted up again, sidelining him for the state tournament.

Sean White blamed the wrestlers'

problems on "some team members who had a bad attitude and no pride."

Despite the poor showing team-wise, the season held some glorious moments. Included in those were White taking the district championship, Fox and Vensky winning individual tournament titles, and Jeff Brenedsteiner holding the number two wrestler in the state to a tough match in a 6-5 loss.

The Spartans finished second in districts, and a disappointing 29th in the state tourney.

Omaha losses kill wild card hopes

The Spartan varsity basketball team battled some tough odds including two snow outs and five losses on the road in Omaha but still managed a solid winning season.

Th'" team ended its season on a sour note, dropping a district tournament game against Lincoln High. Nevertheless, the team compiled a record of 12-8 and could claim to have beaten three of the teams that made the State Tournament field.

"IL' s dissappointed that we didn't do better." said Scott Crimmins, one of the team's strongest scorers and rebounders.

"We were unconsistant in our winning, but depth had to be our strong point," said Jeff Smith. An average of ten players played in each of the _Spartan's games.

But depth wasn't always enough. Coach Paul Forch described the Creighton Prep game as a turning point in the season. Coming into the game, East had a chance at a wild-card possibility; Prep was highly

ranked and one of the hottest teams in the state.

East jumped off to a good start and lead by ten in the fourth quarter. Still, the game was the one that got ~way as East fell on by one in the closing moments. Two nights later, East lost to another highly rated team, Omaha Northwest, and wild card hopes were gone.

"The last games of the season were a big factor," said Forch.

Perhaps the highlight of the season was the LeBlond Holiday tournament in St. Joseph, Missouri, where the Spartans beat two teams that beat Lincoln High

''The St. Joseph tournament was very remarkable, especially the Aockhurst game," commented Mark Johnson. Aockhurst, a Kansas City team, had beaten the Spartans in football but lost to East in the tournament championship game.

Johnson was one of the seniors who played regularly, but the team was dom-

inated by underclassmen. "The juniors are really good," said John Arrigo, "but we would have had a better year if we were not trying to build next year's team."

The leading scorer was Scott Miller with an average of 13 points a game. "We are a very talented team,"commented Miller," "just beginning to reach our potential."

Another junior, Steve Brugman led the team in field goal percentage with fifty-five percent. "We were both quick and good shooters when we were hot," he said.

Bill Weed led the team in free throw percentage with seventy-nine percent, while Doug Nash led the team in steals and deflections; Scott Crimmins also contributed to the team's averages as the leading rebounder, with 148 rebounds.

"One of our big strengths was our ability to work as a team," commented Alan Makovicka."

Sophs, reserve post winning records

Both boys reserve and sophomore basketball teams recorded winning seasons, despite some very tough opposition.

"I was very pleased," said Reserve Coach Ed McPherren. "Considering our overall lack of talent and the quality of the competition, an 11-5 record is good."

The sophomo~esended their 8-4 season on a sweet note with a victory over Lincoln High.

"It was nice to finish with a win and it was an important win," commented Sophomore Coach Randy Fricke, "since they beat us the first time."

The leading scorer for the reserve team was Brian Einfalt who hit 11 points a game.

Einfalt also led the team in rebounds.

"Our ability to worM together defensively and offensively was our main strength,'( said McPherren. "We were not blessed with a lot of star-type players."

Brian Makovicka led the team in assists and steals. Jeff Semin led the team in blocked shots with 44.

"We had some good outside shooters such as Peterson and Einfalt," commented Brian Gates

Another player who helped the reserve squad was John Beckencamp, who averaged 52% on his shots from the field. "As the season went on," commented Backencamp, "we did better."

The leading scorer on the sophomore team was Deron •Gill.

"We were progressing well with more confidence in ourselves," said Gill's twin brother Derek, another of the mainstays on the squad.

Tom Massey, who joined the sophomores a~er spending some time on the reserve team, was the second highest scorer.

"Massey's leadership was a strength when Etzelmiller le~," said Coach Fricke. Arjay Etzelmiller moved up to the reserve team when Massey came down.

"We performed well against tall teams," was how Lance Green described the season. Gr:een lead the team in rebounding.

Team peaks in mid-Season Aggression pays off in districts

Even though the girls varsity basketball team seemed to peak in the middle of their season, they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps in the district tournament to avenge two early season losses to Southeast.

Coach John Strain loosened his grip on the centers and forwards for the game and advised his team to be aggressive.

"Don't give up any three-point plays!" Strain said. "If you're going to foul their b ig girls, then don't even let the ball get above their shoulders."

The aggressive attitude paid off as East defeated its inter-city rival 41-36, and · knocked the Knights out of the tournament. Unfortunatly, East lost the following night to Lincoln High , just missing the state tournament.

Beating Southeast in districts was the bright spot for the team at the close of their season, but the best game they played was probably against sixth-rated Norfolk, one of three top-ten rated teams who fell victim to the Spartans.

The intensity shown during their loss to top-ranked Omaha Central the week before

carried over to the game against Norfolk. Cathy Herman and Jena Janovy lead the outside attack, pouring in 36 points between them, while Angie Cunningham, Julie Vermeer, Julie McMahon, and Tami Vanderbeek put a halt to Norfolk's strong inside. game.

" We worked together down low to deny Shelley Poppe the ball, " assessed junior forward Julie McMahon . " Even when she did get it, we had guards sagging in on her to li mit her range of motion "

Cunningham agreed , saying " Once she got t he ball, we tried to intimidate her and make h er throw it back to the guards. "

A~er the Norfolk game , the team began its late season stretch, taking on second:. ranked Omaha Marian, Southeast, Beatrice, Fremont, and Lincoln High. For most of this time, East was ranked four:th.

The leading scorer on the team was Cathy Herman with 223. Julie Vermeer and Angie Cunningham led in rebounding with 87 and 79 , respectively, while Janovy and Herman lead in steals with 50 and 46, respectively

Several players garnered i'ndividual honors. Jena Janovy was p icked to the first

team All-City squad while Cathy Herman and Julie Vermeer were picked to the second team. Janovy was also named Omaha World-Herald Player of the Week for her games against Central and Norfolk. Janovy dished out a record 103 assists during the season. That brought her career total to 186, also a school record, breaking the old one of 123 held by Mel Oswald.

"It was a real luxury having so many centers and forwards to work with," said Strain "If someone got into foul trouble, or if someone wasn't hitting their shots, I could substitute

" Next year we'll have that same situation and I'll probably change my defensive philosoph~. We won't allow any scoring from inside the lane; they'll have to earn their points from the free throw line."

By the end of the season, all East's losses had come at the hands of top-ten rated ~earns. Their second place finish in districts helped earn them a final ranking in · the number eight spot.

We learned a lot of things about basketball this season ," said senior cocaptain Jena Janovy, "but the most important things we learned were about ourselves."

Reserves struggle for respectability

The girls reserve basketball team may not have had a winning season but they did have "team togetherness. "

"The team really came together through the season," said junior Debbie Ahlquist. This came partly as a result of tee-peeing, PJ. parties, and dinner at Val's as a team.

The team lacked experience with only three returning juniors-Pam Tatro, Debbie Ahlquist, and Cheri Quathamer. The reserves compiled a record of 5 wins and 12 losses

Cheri Quathamer set a new all-season record, pouring in 135 points. Debbie Ah lquist was second in scoring with 71. The leading rebounders were Quathamer and Ahlquist with 11 5 and 84, respective l y.

"Grand Island was a good game buc a

disappointing !oss in overtime," stated starter Ahlquist. \

Through the year the team worked on ball handling and defense. Fouls and freethrow percentages were a concern to firstyear coach Bob Hart, so the girls were required to run 5 -laps in 30 seconds for every foul over 20.

"We were in better physical condition from running this year than last," said Ahlquist. "It helped us through the tough games.''

East fielded a sophomore girls basketball team for the first time ever, a move which "got people involved in basketball • who wouldn't have been," according to Linda Poppe.

The sophomore team also had a disappointing season with a 2-10 record. Their most disappointing game was probably their last game against Northeast.

"We were ahead by a lot, then we lost it," starter Poppe said. The new sophomore team was lead by Linda Poppe in scoring and rebounding.

Sheri Stotz coached the new team to improve their passing and running their offense. Their highlight of the year was against Lincoln High.

"We really ran the offense right against them," said Poppe.

Stephanie Antczak might have summed up both teams' seasons in a nutshell. "Things just didn't' fall together for us this season," she said.

Fifth in state Swimmers break Southeast's stre·ak

A school record-breaking performance by John Wilson helped the boys swimming team to a fifth place finish at the state meet.

Wilson set a new school standard in the 100 yard freestyle with a time of :48.11, recorded enroute to a third place finish at state.

Wilson added a third place finish in the 200 yard freestyle and anchored yet another third place in the boys freestyle relay.

Other top performances at state included Tod Eastman's seventh place in the 50 yard free, Steve Gottschalk's seventh in the 500 yard free, and Mike Schneider's seventh place finish in the diving competition.

"We hove aspirations of being a top ten team," Coach Tony Scott had said

before the meet. "With the amount of individual talent we have, that aspiration should become reality." ,

Gottschalk, the team's distance ace, climaxed ten years of swimming competition with his strong state effort.

"Steve has shown leadership both in and out of the water," commented Coach Scott. "He has matured from a fair swimmer as a sophomore to probably one of the top swimmers in his event. That in itself shows dedication hard work."

When it came to hard work, no one could fault Chris Youker, picked the team's most improved swimmer, or Tim Christensen, named the most improved diver.

Perhaps the most exciting victory of the

season came at the Trans-Nebraska meet when the boys narrowly upset powerful Southeast. The Spartans scored 72 points compared to the Knights' 68 and 6 7 for Lincoln Northeast.

That victory in Trans-Nebraska marked the first time since 1971 that any school besides Southeast had won the meet.

Another highlight was qualifying 12 individuals for the state meet. Qualifiers included Wilson, Eastman, Gottschalk, and Schneider plus Kevin Hansen, Jim Goodwin, Kirk Stingley, Mike Healey, Brad James, Todd Michaud, Chris Hahn, and Dave Holestrand.

The team's dual meet record for the season was eight wins and two losses.

Grueling practi _ ce schedule

Cheerleader-swimmers lead team

Devotion is a frequently used word in the sports world, but to understand the real meaning, one could take a good, long look at the girls Swimming and diving team.

Very few other sports teams could boast ( or complain) of a practice schedule that included regular morning and afternoon workouts plus special weightlifting and weekend practice sessions. The swimmers began practice at 6 a m. each weekday morning and did not finish their afternoon workout until 5:30 p.m.

But the work paid off. So much so that it earned two first place individual finishes in the state meet and for at least the seventh

season in a row, a top ten team finish at state.

Senior Wendy Dickinson, who splashed her name through the school record book, earned a first place finish ·in the 200 freestyle.

Kristin Luthans amassed 425 points to win the State Diving Championship by a large margin. She also gained the school record by her diving talents

Both Dickinson and Luthans were also varsity cheerleaders and had to give up much of that time for their sport. East swim coach Tony Scott made it clear to both of them that their sport would have to take ·

priority over cheerleading.

The girls swim team was young, consisting of seven sophomores, two juniors, and three seniors.

They finished the year successfully by winning eight regular season meets and losing only two.

Team members included seniors Wendy Dickinson, Lizz Eddins, and Jill Jeffreys. Juniors were Coleen McElhose and Tina Peters. The sophomores on the team were Angie Desmond, Kim Beavers, Julie Youngscap, Cindy Johnson, Daina Meyers and Ann Strasheim.

Hot Tuna claims IM basketball title

The fall intermural season had a record number of teams participating in three sports: football, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee.

It was a season of upsets; traditional favorite Grateful Head lost to Deep Threat in the football champioinship, but came back to beat Deep Threat in the soccer and ultimate championships.

Yet the league wasn't dominated by two teams. "The teams were more even in talent than in the past," said P.T. member Mitch Kelley.

Two of the teams to contend with were the Kranks and Creamers , who both developed a fierce rivalry with the Head "There was definitely a feud between us and the Creamers, but I think it was a healthy rivalry," stated Mark Johnson of the Head.

Television was introduced to intermurals in the fall. One game each day was filmed and then replayed the following day during seventh period. Intramural sponsor Audy Stoehr did much of the camera work and provided play-by-play

commentary as well as an occasional guest announcer.

The season was marred, however, by a rash of fights. John Arrigo of Grateful Head tried to explain why: ''I'm a very competive individual and this sometimes takes control of my emotions." The fighting resulted in one member of the P.1.G.'s being kicked out of the league.

"Fighting really took away from the essence of the sport itself," said Scott Scroggins of the ~ardsticks minus 5

Interest in intramurals peaked during the winter season when a record number of teams played basketball.

There were 48 teams in all, including 21 senior high boys teams, 11 senior high girls teams, and 16 junior high teams

Supervisors for the three dMsions included Mr. Audy Stoehr, Mr.Terry Peterson, and Mr. Dick Petri.

Hot Tuna claimed the overall title after defeating the Artesians 3-1 in a best-of-five post-season tournament. Most observers considered their victory a stunning upset.

The turning point in the championship series came in the third game, with the series locked up 1-1. In that game the Artesians jumped out to a quick lead behind the shooting of Chris Hillman and Gary Aeichmuth. Tu na came back, however, as they did successfully throughout the series. led by the hot shooting of John Smith, Tuna tied the game at the end of regulation. Three overtimes could still not settle the contest, but then in a final sudden-death period Smith made an unlikely shot, giving Tuna the game. They never looked back.

"We were underrated," said Tuna player Brad Waddell, "but we got the job done by playing team ball.''

Another highlight of the year was, without doubt, Scott Baker's memorable achievement of scoring 100 points in a single game, a new intramural record. Baker was named the Blue league's most valuable player

Individual standouts included Todd Noble, the White league's MVP, and Erik Eggland, who canned 43 three-point shots to lead all players

long a~er the bout has concluded and the contestants have cleared the ring, personal victories will not be forgotten victories gained by every student, even,, day, inside and outside the school walls.

The bell sounds. The first round has begun. The PSAT scores are posted and she peers anxiously at her score not bad, she thinks, a 167. He passes through the counselor' soffice and casually glances at the results hmm, a 183. No sweat, so far. He leads one to nothing. But wait she had crammed for two weeks prior to taking the test, while he hadn't give it a second thought. The scholastic rounds ends, three to nothing in his favor.

The bell sounds for round two. She was voted 'most likely to become president,' as well as 'most likely to win a beauty pageant,' but he was only voted 'most likely to be forced into seclusion.' popularity The rounq ties up the score, three to three.

Round three. Track season has come to on end and he has been labeled 'a real hopeful' for next year, in addition to taking third in state in the mile. She, however, was simply told that with a lot of

work and dedication, she might overcome her tendency to run like a duck. The athletic round concludes, givng him a five to three lead.

Round four. The final paper is due in Mr. Holechek's A.P. English class and both parties are engaged in some pretty fancy footwork editng those essays they finished that very morning. Time passes slowly until the results are back. She evens the match, five to five, by earning a one on her paper compared to his one-minus.

The charisma round, at long last. Let's see ... she broke up with her, two points for her. But he has gone out with more people since then, one point. But she had a date for prom but he was dating the Prom Queen. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a fight to ~he finish. And while the two competitors fall to the mat, the spectators can dete!mine just who had that winning punch.

Although competition between students was a major concern, and some believe it caused undue stress, it could also motivate for the best. "Once upon a time I witnessed Tonya Holder sperform in one of Randy McCutcheon's fabulous Speech Nites," said Kim Cameron. "From that night. forward, I was inspired to write an oratory."

As in the past, the counselors extended a helping hand to students and their parents. They worked to personalize and individualize each student's educational program. In addition, they were available for advice on personal problems and help on college prospects and job opportunities.

Mr. Ivan Goochey took on a special project to help the senior high students adjust. Goochey arranged for each new student to work with another, experienced student for one week. The designated student host helped the new student find his way around the building and make acquaintances. ,

Goochey's number one ambition, however, was to "constantly assess how effective I am as an advocate for students."

One woman with a lot of goals to improve a student's life was Anna Belle Darnell. Darnell was editor of the Counselor's Newsletter, helped organize a new student orientation program, and worked with East's new drug and alcohol abuse program, ~CIP.

Jim Carlin's main goal was to "improve communication with students ·about career information." Carlin was especially concerned about "job opportunities that are available to students who complete less than four years of college." One way he did this was to set up a career day especially for representatives of two-year colleges.

The seventh and eighth grade counselor, Neal Zimmerman, had a slightly different set of goals. Zimmerman's basic task was "to make seventh and eighth graders understand that a counselor's office is a comfortable place to be." Another of his special goals was to "better understand the students that come from a family wit~out two parents."

A new addition to the counseling staff was Mrs. Roxie Sattler who filled in for Rozanne Snoberger. Mrs. Sattler reported that both she and Mrs. Snoberger will return next year as part-time counselors.

Sattler said that she hoped to "maintain a close relationship with the students," and that, through the job-sharing, students will still feel free to go to Mrs. Snoberger if she was not in her office.

Though each counselor had their own individual goals, they agreed on the rewards. As Mrs. Darnell put it, "If we can change something from a negative to a positive, it's very rewarding."

East a finalist for excellence award Administrators work to unite school

East High School had five administrators, three of whom had doctoral degrees.

The administrators worked together to improve the school climate, to promote better ways for students and teachers to interact, and help all members of the school community develop a good attitude. "It's important for the students to have a positive outlook about school and extra activities such as clubs and intramurals, " sa id Dr. William Moss, East High Principal.

The focus for learning was not just on the students, but also on the teachers. Moss taught a class to the teachers dealing with decision-making skills in the classroom.

The administrators were also working on a long-term study of how well East was

meeting the needs of its students. In February East was nominasted as one of six state finalists for an excellent school award by the U.S.

Mr. Darwin Salestrom had many responsibilities as vice-principal. One of his most visible projects was working with the student counci I on a proposal for a student lounge. It would contain a T.V. , a pop machine, and possibly video games. The lounge would be for senior high students only.

Mr. Francis Arthur, Assistant Principal, spent much of his time on the expectations of both students and parents. He put together a new publication the student hondbook which describes all the clubs and activities

at East. Arthur also made a trip to West Point to visit the U.S. Military Academy.

Drs. Marie Kelley and Loy Marotz, assisttant principals, also had plenty of work to keep them busy Kelley worked on a new way to make the schedule process more efficient through computers.

Marotz, who received his doctoral degree in December, found working with the students the most important part of his job. He wanted the students to feel comfortable with the administrators as well as the school.

Each administrator had separate responsibilities, but they all had one central goal of uniting the students, the faculty, and the school as one

Seniors as old as school

Born to be a Spartan

"SENIOASI" blared the voice of the daily announcements. "Don't forget to be measured for your cop and gown on Tuesday, November 8 from 11 :30- 1:30 in the counseling office."

"There will be a class meeting in the North lecture Hall second period-please bring your ideas for spirit week." A year of pride, a ye.or of excitement.

Some students sighed and exclaimed that "one ye.or is just like another-right?" Wrong. Not for the class of 1984. The senior class was born to leave a proud legacy for classes yet to come.

This year's seniors undoubtedly had a special factor of time on their side which set them apart from the usual graduating class. East High was built and opened in the years 1966/1967-the years that many seniors were born.

Labeled "magnificent" for its modern design and "innovative" for its new educaconcepts, East High opened its doors to some 1,431 Junior and Senior High students

and a faculty of 62 on September 5, 196 7. Since then, the school has progressed in academics, athletics, and spirit. from the beginn!ng, 1984 seniors had their goals set, high

Being a senior brought on many new challenges and decisions. Some felt the pressure of leaving comfortable SL!rroundings while others felt more respected and recognized. "Being a senior gave me a chance to get involved in more activities," commented Nancy Eno. "It's a chance to show your best."

Major obstacles in a senior's lifestyle were how to graduate without .5 credits in Physical Education, how to pass the health waiver test, and how to take challenging · classes without ruining that precious Grade Point Average.

Seniors also discovered that the graduating process required more effort than they had at first assumed. Graduation announcements had to be ordered and 'itudents had to be measured for their caps

and gowns. Each student had to verify his credits to graduate and the name which was to be printed on the diploma had to be double checked.

Sharon Froning joked , "Being a senior is not easy!" That statement could easily be verified by those seniors who filled their senior academic schedule to the top. Although many could joke about the easy classes that seniors could take, in reality , the graduating class was most likely be found in AP English, Greco-Aoman Histon.,, Aeview of Nitty Gritty, Calculus, or Chemistrv 3.

Future plans was also a common one concern. Many considered furthering their education while others explored the idea of full-time work.

As the year came to an end and final plans were made, once again the common tone of daily announcements was heard counting off the remaining time left at East High.

"As a senior, I know that wa've all come a long way and it's nica to remember the special times that wa've shared."

HORSING AROUND, Gretchen Zinnecker and Noncv Eno find that -Pioneer Village is not just for those eight and under

A shot in .the dark

Assassination game stirs many

fads are something everyone goes through, from clothes to music, and even games. Games you say? The fad in the spring in the game ·department was the assassination game.

The game became popular throughout the nation for a while and there was even a movie made about it

The rules of the game were simple. At the beginning of each game, all palyers donated a dollar apiece, the proceeds going to the eventual winner.

Next, each player drew the name of another player-that player became the target of an "assassination" attempt.

If a player succeeded in " assassinating" another player (by shooting him or her with a rubber-tipped dart gun or a water pistol), then that plover would go after another target. The final person left would be declared the winner.

Players were fair game on -all days (including weekends). The only exception to that was that players could not be shot at organized events such as parties or basketball games.

"It's a real challenge and a lot of fun to sneak around in the dark hunting for people , commented Scott Patterson. "I haven't really gotten into the game, but that gives my victim a feeling of uncertainty of when I'm going to attack him ."

To win this game a player has to be very cunning.

The juniors and seniors were the only classes who declared war on themselves.

Many people felt that the game could be dangerous. The TV program 60 MINUTES had a report on the game, and found that people get so emotionally involved that there have been reports of people using

But the real attraction was knowing that you had to watch everything you doknowing that you were never safe, no matter whether you were on a date, at a party or movie with friends, or even at Bishops with your grandparents. • " "It's exciting and physically stimulating," explained Mark Johnson.

"The thing I enjoy," commented Andy Miller, " is that it lets me, a calm average day-to-day person, stalk my victims as a ruthless, bloodless killer."

fads usually do not last long, but this one looked like it might stick around for a while.

Foral travels to Omaha Young goalie leads team to title

Going against the rules just a little bit, senior Jim Foral ( at age 18) was not only the youngest player in the Men's Indoor Soccer League, but he also played a key part, as goalie, in helping his team finish the season as league champions

The team decided they wanted Jim to keep the championship trophy after the season was over. Jim didn't lose his modesty, however, insisting that "the defense pulled me through."

Indoor soccer was somewhat different than the outdoor variety. Probably the most essential difference was the way players could bounce the ball off the walls instead of having an out-of-bounds. The most painful difference was learning to endure the rug burns received from sliding on the astroturf. A few other alterations included the high~r speed and difficulty level that contributed to a more challenging and enjoyable game.

"It's so much faster," Foral said. "You have to learn a whole new strategy."

As the goalie, part of that strategy meant preparing for much harder and closer shots, since the field, shaped like a hockey rink, is considerably smaller. However, there were some advantages to the indoor field, most important being the smooth surface that prevented the ball from taking a bad bounce.

Though Jim played goalie for two out of the three fifteen-minute periods that make up a game, he also played halfback for around ten minutes of the final interval.

As a team , Jim and his ten teammates scored fifty-four goals in their Sunday night

games with Jim scoring three. During their eight-week season that concluded December 26, only five goals were scored agai~t them. Jim regretted only that the games had

to be played in Omaha since no such arena existed in Lincoln. "Lincoln needs more competitive soccer at the high school level," he said. "The schools need to make it a varsity sport."

Signing standards summarized

Many a well-educated, wise-for-hisage-senior found himself pondering over the dreaded problem of how to sign a yearbook properly. Though the dilemma occured only once a year, as seniors, this was still the last chance to show friends one's full potential.

Experienced seniors offered these suggestions:

- "Always write as large as possible in hope of taking up all signing space."

- "Be sure to use a pen that leaves big blobs on the paper which smear onto the opposite page."

- "Always write on the page that is already too full. Write over what other people have written and run your words up and down the margins on the page."

- "Write in the dark sections of the book

-"Always sign your name over your own face in the book This gives everyone· the impression that you must have been beautiful."

- "Don't forget to put moustaches on your friends as a joke. They'll love it!"

- "If you make a mistake, don't worry-just scribble out the whole paragraph."

- "If your friend happens to be on yearbook staff, write your message in dark ink over their ~est story ."

- "Don't ever forget to say "It's been great", "We sure had fun", or "See you this summer" . These are unforgettable lines and you will be remembered forever." _

The fine art of yearbook signing may not be a true art form, but a yearbook just wouldn't be a yearbook without those amusing, sometimes embarrassing comments.

Orwel I was wrong

Dire prophecies prove amiss

"War is peace freedom is slaveiv

Ignorance is strength"

Or so George O rwell decla red in his book 1984 which was written in 19 48. He presented the English-reading pub li c with a frightening glimpse of the future Many wondered if Orwell ' s projections of a totalitarian state were merely a form of satire or genuine predictions.

Thirty-five years after the book's publication, the world celebrated Orwell ' s future- 1984. The media had conducted a nervous countdown to the year of reckoning-as if 1984 were a piece of doomsday prophecy .

East High students lived, after all , in a free society-sa lt-free, sugar-free, taste-

free , and fat-free. It was a society where, instead of being beaten and tortured, people were merely encouraged to keep fit and live longer.

There was nothing resembling the "hate weeks" that used to stir Oceania 's citizens to hysteria. Instead , eveivone said "Have a nice day" and invoked an optimistic "hopefully" in eveiv other sentence .

The posters of a sm ili ng Big Brother in Oceania were replaced by posters of Tom Selleck and Christie Brinkley. The telescreens had arrived, of course , but instead of c_pnstantly watching, were constantly watched. Surveys showed the average American family had its television on over seven hours a day

True, many found there were invasions of privacy and injustices, but compared to Orwell's predictions, the world's brutalities

were confined to a few troubled countries. The militaiv, perhaps, came the closest to achieving Orwell's prediction of a new language: his famous "doublethink." He would certainly have admired the callous sophistication of calling a multiple-warhead nuclear missile a "peacekeeper "

Actually , inspite of a media blitz on Orwell , only a few students read the book. Sharon Froning explained her feelings about t~e book in th is way: " I don ' t feel that anything bad is going to come out of predictions made in 1948. It's j ust a book, • aft:erall. "

In spite of the terrible predictions made by George Orwell in 1984, many East High students ventured on with an optimistic outlook "Who knows?" exclaimed Pat Pittman. "Maybe the 1984 seniors will change the course of the earth!"

Journalists travel to St. Louis

For seniors Scott Potterson, Richard Egger.Stephanie Shapiro, Marcia Miller, and Jodi Flynn, the weekend of November 17-19 would be one which they would not soon forget.

• These journalism students, along with underclassmen Joni Birdsall, Kirsten Ameismeyer, Merry Hayes, and Doro Troutmon traveled to St. Louis to attend the annual JEA[5C]NSPA notional convention.

While in St. Louis the students also competed in a two-hour write-off contest The contest set a midwest record with 740 contestants from 15 states, representing l 05 schools, competing for trophies in sixteen categories.

"After a grueling 12-hour bus ride from Lincoln," recalled Rich Egger, "we checked into the hotel and hod half-on-hour to find something to eat. Then I found myself among about l 00 strangers, quickly working my fingers to the bone for two hours."

Actually, some East students reaped other rewords. Senior Marcia Miller walked away with a second place trophy for yearbook design to be specific. Her contest entry, she said, was on almost exact duplicate of this year's Epic cover

Merry Hayes was the only other East student to win on award, receIvIng an honorable mention citation in the news writing category.

The convention itself drew about 1600 delegates, mainly from the midwestern states. Delegates heard the featured speaker, Mory Nissenson, on NBC news correspondent, tell them that investigative reporting was now under considerable attack both within and without newsorganizotions. She stressed that reporters should heed their own consciences.

Other activities for the delegates

included world premiere previews of films from Universal Studios, including clips from Dune, a movie based on Fronk Herbert's classic novel.

During the convention the students attended over 60 short courses given by professional journalists and journalism instructors. Topics for the courses ranged from scholastic press rights to cartooning and the use of the compute-r in the classroom.

Despite the wear and tear of long bus rides, late nights, and challenging seminars, most of the students felt the trip hod been worthwhile.

'The kno1.Uledge I receieved," said Egger, "and the walks across 12 lanes of traffic at night to visit the Gateway Arch mode it all worthwhile. If I hod the opportunity to di it again, I wouldn't miss it for the world."

College-bound seniors bite bullet

Manv flustered seniors eventuallv came to the realization that thev had not vet taken the dreaded ACT /SAT tests. Most colleges refused applicants without some sort of achievement test and therefore, college bound students were required to be tested during their junior or senior vear.

"The ACT test is the most' popular with students bescause it is also used for the UN-L Regents competition," explained Anna Belle Darnell, an East High counselor. "The onlv students that essentiallv need to take the SAT or other achievement tests are those who would like to go to out-state schools for their education."

At the beginning of the school vear, manv seniors made plans to take or to retake their achievement tests. While some never thought twice about the time involved, others realized that ACT /SAT testing required a lot of time and effort.

"Personally, I don't feel that achievement tests are totallv worth mv time," senior· Kim Cameron explained, "because thev do not measure a student's extra-curricular activities. On the other hand, the tests are a wav for administrators to

determine those who studv and those who don't. Usually, testing is geared more for those who measure up academically-not necessarily those who are both academic and socially active."

The actual exam proceedure began with the challenge of filling out of the test booklet. The task of coding the right ovals for social security number, address, educational background, and the names of the schools which should receive copies of the student's scores was o~en as tough as the test itself.

During the t'ime between filling out the · test booklet and taking the actual test, some students tried to study for the test. Books including the Cliffs Notes/Ra Preparation Guide and How to Beat the SAT2 by Michael Donner were popular choices. "Books that help you to take the achievement tests give you some idea what to expect," explained Suzie -Gillette, "but they're not really a study guide. Overall, all achievement tests are hard to study for."

A~er a few weeks, the test ticket, which allowed students to enter the testing center, was sent by mail along with specific

instructions to "take this ticket with vou on vour testing dav."

As the Saturdav morning testing date arrived, students had various problems which ranged from getting up in the morning with the roosters and sparrows to · losing their test entrance ticket. When taking the test, students had to be careful to "keep their eves on their own paper," to "read all instructions carefullv," and to "stop when you reach the end of a testing section."

Although the achievement tests were no excitement to take, most East High students realized their importance as they patiently awaited the results. "The results were important to me," Jen Forker concluded, "because they determined whether or not I would get into the college of my choi~e."

Demo tape sells out Rog ge ·sets electronic magic to music

Senior Poul Rogge, a multi-talented musician, combined his skills by writing, performing and producing six songs on a demo tape entitled love: In Block and White.

The cassette cover featured Poul's great grandparents on their wedding day.

Eighty tapes were mode and sold at • Pickles for $4.00 each

Poul described the demo tape as "n eopsychedelic", a term he invented to mean a mixture of different forms of music.

He was able to single-handedly produce the tape with the aid of special equipment located in the miniature production studio in his home. His keyboard simulated most of needed musical instruments from the strings to the horns. A drum synthesizer imitated drum sounds.

He used five guitars, two of which were electric, and two that were boss. The four-

track recorder combfned all of the various sounds into one musical piece and allowed him to dub over the music. That was why many of the songs sounded as if there were bock-up singers, although all of the voic<ts belonged to Poul. The only exception was the voice of the radio announcer in "Bombs Away" which Poul toped while in Kassel, Germany.

Nearly all of his songs stemmed from students and incidents at East High. "I hove to make them (the songs) vogue, so no one will get hurt."

His traveling through Germany last summer sparked on awareness of "how isolated kids in America ore, musically."

Poul hod a definite theory on the relationship between past and present forms of music. "Music rotates in a cycle," he said. "We're going through a time much like the early 60's. ~uch of the music which was

Two lockermates shared an unusual week in Washington when they took a promotional brochure seriously

Barton said she first learned of the program when the Student Council received an explanatory brochure The Council showed little interest in the project, but Barton decided the trip looked interest ing

"Becky and I feel really lucky we got to go," Barton said. The students had to pay all their own expenses, but said they felt the trip was worthwhile.

• "On the first day , they asked ' Are you a Republican or a Democrat?' and took it from there," said Bruening.

" We met rea l-life liberals," Barton said. Both students described themselves as conservatives

Nebraska Congressman Doug Bereuter d id all he cou ld to make the girls' trip valuable by interrupting his lunch for an hour-long conversation

Ou t stan ding individual contributions

Officers plan new marquee

Two ma y be company, but three was never a cro wd. At lea st that was what the three sen ior class o ffic e rs, President Pat Pittman , V ice- Presid e nt Jenny Chou, and Secretary Shane Tew s, concluded.

Although there were many small activities to be wo rked on throughout the • year, the officers ha d thre e major projects to complete The firs t was the organization and presentat io n of Spirit Week. Despite the class of ' 84 's so me what dismal record of three consecut ive los se s, many could sti II mainta in a pos iti ve outlook. As Jenny Chou explained , "Even thou gh we ne ver actually won, we a ll kn ew ho w to have a good time and how to be good losers."

The ir second major project was the traditional senior b re akfast and the third, the ded icat io n of a se nior gift to the school. This year the seniors chose to present the school w it h a marquee, an electronic sign which would be loc ated outside the off ice with an everc hang ing list of announcements.

"We cons id ered this a good gift," Jenny Chou exp la ined, "because it would be easier for st ude nts to see the announcements than t o have them read aloud "

Shane Tews explained her attitudes toward the class th is way: "I think that we have shown a lo t of personal dedication, creativity , and innovation. Possibly as a class, we have n't do ne as well, but there have been ma ny o ut standing individual contributions.

And some of th o se contributions were made by the class officers. By doing their jobs with ded ica tio n, creativity, and class; they proved th at t~ree was never a crowd.

The officers refle cted on the past few years with o p t imism. Shane Tews relayed that there had be en many changes since the graduat ing se niors had first entered

Facing future is name of jun_iors' game

Having survived the basic training of the sophomore year, but not yet ready to accept the mantle of senior responsibility , the junior class began their eleventh hour in high school with a look toward the future

To many students, future-gazing was a challenge fraught with new problems and goals. Lori Bullerrrian stated that "being an upperclassman meant making decisions, and getting closer to being independent."

Many of the decisions that juniors began to think about involved questions such as, "Shall I go to college?" , "Can I afford to go to college?", or "Shall I get a job?" By

taking responsibility for their actions, many juniors began to move closer to becomin~ independent.

To many students, the opportunity of going to college meant giving up at least one Saturday morning to take the unforgettable PSAT /SAT tests. Though it didn't make for the most rewarding morning, students realized that the tests were an important stepping stone for the future

Jobs often meant another step toward facing rea l ity Many had taken jobs after school , or on weekends, to provide extra mone y for cars, clothes, and various activities

"It helps having extra spending money School work isn't that hard so it's pretty easy to balance both work and school," said Nancy Constance.

Looking back on their sophomore year, juniors began to realize how much they had changed. They slowly began to mature, and started to appreciate the importance of academic achievement, sportsmanship, and future goals.

So, as the junior class approached the eleventh hour of their high school career, they attempted to prepare for their future before the clock struck midnight.

"Being a junior is a lot of fun because you are able to get involved in more activities."

Achieving class

Officers tackle short, important list

Working together, handling responsibility, and trying to involve the entire student body made up a short but challenging list of jobs for the junior class officers

Bruce Lundak (President), Kathy Borman (Vice-President), Lisa Christensen (Secretary), and Stephanie Digman (Treasurer) all worked together to promote school spirit and to make the junior class more productive.

With the help of Mr. Ivan Goochey as sponser, the officers held occasional

meetings to discuss plans for candy sales, the Father-Daughter Dance, and the JuniorSenior Prom. They also were in charge of preparations for Spirit Week including theme, skit, and decorations.

"We tried to involve the entire student body in candy sales and during Spirit Week," said Kathy Borman. "We hoped to promote more class spirit."

But not evervthing went according to plan. "Spirit Week activities were very limited this year," said President Bruce Lundak. "With more money, and especially

more time, we could have been a little bit more elaborate. Regardless, I was happy with what we accomplished."

Probably the biggest project of the junior class officers, however, was the Spring Prom. The junior and senior classes voted to hire a disc jockey. By hiring a disc jockey, students felt there would be a larger and wider selection of music.

"Thi6 is a night we'll want to cherish for many years," commented Jim Nickel, "and the music played will be remembered for the rest of our lives."

Think blue lock e rs make home away from home

As the school year started, students experienced something new and something blue: their lockers.

The change occurred during the summer months, june through mid August when 984 lockers were painted a bright new royal blue. The reactions of most students were positive. "I like them; they cheer up the halls," commented. junior Lisa Christensen.

The new paint, however, didn't stop the annual task of making the lockers look a tittle more like home. Students liked to perk up their lockers and make them more individual by pasting wallpaper or wrapping paper on

the walls.

Some imaginative students made collages of cut-out magazine pictures to enhanced the interior of their locker.

locker contents often included the unexpected. "Plastic milk cartons, pictures of my boyfriend, pictures of beer cans, porns, and, oh yes, books," were some of the belongings cited by junior Wendy Collicott as what she had in her locker.

Most important of all, no two lockers looked the same; some were neat and well organized, others were so messy, there wasn't ~ven room to hang a coat.

What's in a locker? Our undercover Epic reporters discovered the following items in one student's locker:

Milk cartons

Pencils and pens

An old peanut butter sandwich

Paper

Wallpaper

A list of ten excuses to get out of class

Pictures of boyfriends, girlfriends, and idols

One stolen pad of passes

Head sets

Intercepted skip slips

An old battered mirror

Several unused passes to Doc's office

An emergency tube of toothpaste

Confusion about adulthood Teens find acceptance difficult

Ah, I'm finally next! Seems like I've been standing in line forever-and all for just one blouse.

Suddenly lhearthecashiersay "Ma'am, I can help you on register two." I start to approach the register, when I realize that she isn't talking to me but to a lady standing behind me who apparently had just gotten in line. Didn't she see me standing here, or did I suddenly become invisible?

When I realized how unfair this was, my temper got the best of me. "Excuse me, but I've been waiting in line, and I believe I was next."

"Well, if you've been waiting this long, onemoreminutecan'thurt.1'11 be with you in a minute," snapped the cashier.

Just because the lady behind me happened to be twenty years older, and was dressed in a fur coat, didn't give her any right to check out before me, whether it meant a bigger sales commission for the clerk. After all, I'm a person too!

Without really thinking about it, many adults stereotype teenagers simply by referring to them as "typical" teenagers.

Society itself was confused. The age at which a person became · an adult was frequently changed by policy or practice.

At the age of sixteen, you were finally of legal age to drive a car by yourself. _

At age seventeen, you were able to give blood, and for the first time, you were allowed to see an "A" rated movie without being accompanied by an adult.

At age eighteen, you were able to cast your ballot. Males were required to register for the draft, you were of legal age to get married without parental consent, and in case of an arrest, you could be tried in adult court, and have your name appear in the newspaper.

And finally, at age nineteen, you were allowed to work and serve liquor, but sti II not legally allowed to drink. That particular law • was changed by the state legislature in

1984, providing that the legal age for drinking henceforward would be twenty-one.

One of the major concerns for most teens was getting and keeping a job, but even in the world of work, teens faced discrimination. Many employers had the option of paying $3.35 an hour, the minimum wage, or perhaps pay less, depending upon the job and the individual.

"By putting a lot of time and effort into doing your job correctly, you expect to get rewarded with an adequate amount of money," commented Sandy Houser.

Teenage discrimination did occur in job hiring and pay, in preferential treatment in stores and movies, and in several societal attitudes. Often adults forgot the responsible teens who baby-sat their children, cooked and served their hamburgers, helped hospital patients as candy stripers, delivered papers, and perhaps most important of all, studied hard to become productive citizens.

Boys and their toys

"Yo ligh life"

The great American love affair. It swept its victims up at a very early age. It seemed like as soon as a baby boy could sit up, he had a toy car to play with.

Americans loved their cars. Almost everything they did was centered around the automobile. Take entertaitvnent, for instance.

Sometimes, the car was the main character as in the popular and successful horror film Christine. Cars also enhanced a heroic character as in the television programs Magnum PJ., Dukes of Haza rd, Knight Rider, and Simon and Simon. The cars in these shows added the excitement

high speed chases and just a pinch of danger.

Popular music was thoroughly pervaded by cars and the stories of their owner'slives. lnll.Top's "Eliminator''video, a young man's life changes completely when he gets the keys to a car.

Uke high school student all over the country, East High students took pride in their cars. Some of the more remarkable cars In the student parking lot included Ayon Oestmann's red Chevelle, Tom Hamilton's red 1982 Datsun pickup, and Jim Nickel's beast of a jeep.

But owning a car meant fat expenses

for gas and tires. Despite the costs, few junior guvs would give up their wheels. "I depend on my car for almost everything I do, and for everywhere I go," noted junior Scott Miller.

Some guys even named their cars. Babe, Beast, Lucifer, Hank, Aosie, White Knight, and Tweedle were just a few of the names ascribed by junior owners to their cars.

The great American love Affair. Will it ever stop? The answer to that, is "of course." Just as soon as boys are no longer

Thin is in Weight phenomenon Sweeps AmericQ

Being thin was in. Movies said so. Magazine ads said so. Most of all, society said so

Americans of all stripes but especially young people were c9ncerned with their weight. "People want to lose weight because it's the "in" thing to do," commented Robyn Elefsrud. "They rely on other people's opinions and attitudes instead of their own opinions."

Most teenagers agreed that the only way to become accepted was to be thin. In order to be thin, one had to diet. Millions of Americans cut calories, whether they needed to or not.

Although the dieting craze was in no way limited to women, society put more pressure on them to diet, especially through television commerciars.''I feel that commercial_ advertising is false. You can't achieve a specific type of figure just by drinking diet pop alone," commented Sarah Harless.

Fashion models that appear in ads were often thin as well as beautiful. This type of advertising sometimes had the effect of making teenage girls feel that their figure was more important than other characteristics like personality, talent, or intelligence.

The media not only implied that being thin was in, but also gave suggestions for methods one could use to lose those extra pounds. These suggestions included sugarfree foods and soft drinks, appetite suppressants, and specific diet plans.

Also on the market were diet drugs, such as Dexatrim, Dietoc, or Slim-Fast. These diet drugs were not recommended for healthy weight loss. Another alternative was appetite suppressants, some of which could only be prescribed by doctors. These were not highly recommended either, but were generally considered safer than overthe-counter drugs.

The diet picture was not all rosy. Overenthusiastic dieters found problems with ill health and malnutrition in the quest for slimness. Many were willing to skip nutrition to achieve an acceptable weight. But most s,tudents were steadfast believers in the idea that ~hen you lose weight, you begin to feel better about yourself.

ONE OF MANY CULLER students who become East High sophomores, Corrie M cFarland watches her first pep rally in the south gym

Three schools blend to make one

A sophomore as defined by Noah Webster as a foolish moron ora wise fool.To most tenth graders. being a sophomore simply meant a step up from being labeled as a gummer.

Three hundred and twenty-three students began the fall as sophomores. almost two hundred of whom had already attended East as junior high students. The balance of the class came from Lefler and Culler Junior Highs. a few more from Culler than Lefler.

Saline Barrentine. a sophomore who previously lived in Oklahoma and went to a four year high school said, " When I moved here I had to meet a lot of new people and make new friends to replace all the old ones I

left behind." She added. "there ' s clot to get used to. I tolked with a southern accent so people laughed at me, especially the first day. Then there's the weather Snow in early November really surprised me!"

Pam Barton. another sophomore new to East. used to live in Crete, Nebraska before she moved to Waverly for her freshman year. ''Waverly and Crete were both four year high schools." she said. "Even then East seems so much bigger. It was a big change-not only in size but in the number of students."

English teacher Shirley Doan thought highly of the new sophomores. "My experience with these tenth graders has been a happy one," she stated. "They're smart,

active. energetic, and funloving."

On October 6 the senior high student council sponsored a Blue-White Night so that the sophomores could meet new people and wear blue and white to show their school spirit.

The school gave their new students the opportunity to join 25 clubs ranging from Dungeon and Dragons to Trapshooting. Besides classes to fill their high school and college requirements, there were close to one hundred electives to choose from.

All things considered, the class of '86 was bound to be a success. As Shirley Doan said, "It's hard to put it in words."

Most go to movies

Dates agree: guys should pay

The thrill, the excitement of your first REAL date. Where will you go? What will you do? Who will it be with?

Regardless of how traumatic that first day, most students recognized i t as an unforgettable experience. "A dote, " defined one sophomore, "is when two persons of the opposite sex (besides relatives) go somewhere besides each other's home " Or "A date is when a guy formally asks a girl out, takes her to dinner, then to a movie and he pays "

Most students remembered their first date and most either went to a dance , movie, dinner, or to the state fair on their first date.

Despite the women's rights moveme nt and the fight for E.A.A., many girls stil l expected guys to pay all dating expenses Staci Shalgren's ideal date, for example , would "spend a lot of money on me. " Perhaps surprisingly, many guys agreed As Aon Simmons said, "The guy should pay ."

Many thought an official date sho uld have a tone of formality. Stacey Skold sa id her first date took place when a gu y "formally asked me to a movie."

Favorite places to go on o first da te were to the mqvies, to a dance, ou t to dinner, or to a party. For many, cruising "O"

Street made a great nightcap.

The guys primarily thought of dating i,;t terms of picking a girl up by car. That meant, of course, that the guy had to be sixteen and have a license.

Gerry Coyne described a date like this : "It's when a guy picks up a girl and like

takes her somewhere." Coyne also described a date as "good clean fun."

A taste for something fancy was on tap for many first dates. The Exchange restaurant, for example, was listed by a number of students as a favorite choice for dining out.

ting a future career

"You can really never begin too soon to prepare fora career," commented Ann Barry, East High's career co-ordinator.

The preparation Banv was talking about began in sophomore English classes. Time in the tenth graders' classes was devoted specifically to choosing careers well suited .J:o the student's needs and capabilities.

Sophomores be gan by taking the California Occupational Survey (COPS).

Questions ~uch as "Would you rather raise chickens and fish or sell housewares door to door?" were raised. Students took the 168question test and scored themselves according to their answers. Their scores were grouped and tallied. The combined score determined preferred "career clusters."

Next, a trip to the Career Information Center was in store. The chosen career cluster was analyzed and specific jobs were researched. Certain aspects of jobs such as marital status, regional opportunities, status, and working conditions were investigated, as well as salary and educational background

"Besides just earning a living, I would

like my job to satisfv my personal needs and goals," said Bret Tonniges.

A~er a career was researched, some sophomores shadowed a person who held the position they were interested in.

Barb Clouston visited radio station KXSS and listened to their broadcast. Barb found that it wasn't quite what she expected

"It wasn't at all like the radio station depicted in WKRP In Ondnnatl. It was really different seeing them broadcast than just listening to the radio," she said. "I may not go into radio broadcasting, but the shadowing experience was well worth my time."

Becoming an actor interested Steve Lewis. He spent the day shadowing former East graduate Todd Pickering. Steve attended Theatre-11 5, one of Todd's classes at the university, and met the director of "Beyond Therapy", the play Todd had a major role in.

"It was a very enriching experience," said Steve. "I've always been interested in what it takes to become an actor."

Drawing just a hobby

Lewis directs attention towards acting

A future career in the fine arts led Steve Lewis to acting, directing, speech , drawing, painting, and cartooning, all areas in which he made notable contributions to the school.

"Becoming a director is the most important thing to me," said Lewis. " I spend a lot of my time acting and practicing, but it's all worth it." •

Sophomore Steve Lewis's future plans to enter the field of professional arts led him to excel in theatre and forensics.

Steve had an exceptionally good year on the speech and debate team. He placed in all but two tournaments and had a h ighly praised humorous interpretation "I was really surprised that I did as well as I did for my first year on the team," stated Lewis

Another surprise came to Steve when he was cast for the title role in "David and Lisa," the fall play produced by the senior high. ".I always wanted a chance to portray a crazy person in a serious play," Steve explained . " The role required a lot from me."

"When I was little, my mother forced me to take a class at the Community Playhouse . I ended up enjoying it a whole lot. " Steve, however, did not do anything else theatrical until seventh grade. Then he enrolled in a seventh grade drama class.

" Mr . Beadell, the former drama teacher, got me interested in acting. He was extremely encouraging " Not until eigth grade did Steve gather enough courage to try out for a play. Since then he has been cast in many important roles.

Besides acting, Steve's other main interest was art. "When I was little I used to watch my father, who worked in advertising, draw. He taught my brother, who in turn taught me."

School played an important role in developing Lewis's art style. In junior high he joined Art Club and acted as president for two years. When he entered high school, he was cartoonist for both the Oracle and the Epic.

Steve's artwork appeared in all sixteen issues of the paper. The yearbook's emblem was designed by Lewis as well as most of the other artwork in the book.

Overall, Lewis' talents were many. His acting and artwork both played an important role in his future plans.

Who's looking over m~ shoulder?

Stu ents enjoy having parents nearby

For many sophomores, leaving the house in the morning for school meant leaving behind their parents, but for several, it was just the beginning.

Lori Beckmann was one of those students who went to school in the same building where her father worked. Her father is Jerry Beckmann, computer and calculus teacher.

"It wasn't that bad," said Lori. "I knew I could never get away with anything at school, but it was kind of nice having him there."

Minor problems occurred because of the situation. "I never knew how to act toward him or what to call him. I didn't know whether to treat him like any other teacher or like I do at home as my father," said Lori about her dad.

"I knew that it didn't bother me as much as it did her," commented Mr. Beckmann.

Favoritism wasn't a problem for Lori or her father. Mr. Beckmann was a judge for Spirit Week, but "his vote wasn't swayed towards the sophomores," said one student.

Problems with friends didn't arise much either. "My friends who had him as their teacher didn't expect a good grade from him just because of our friendship," said Lori. Most sophomores whose parents worked at East found it helpful. "I found it helpful having my mom work at East. If I ever needed money or parental permission for anything she was always there to help," said Wes Kelley. Wes's mother was Assistant Principal Marie Kelley.

"I don't think my working here placed any burden on Wes," said Marie Kelley. Chris Holechek felt differently than Lori or Wes. "Although I was treated the same way, if I did get in trouble in class the

teachers went to my father right away," he said.

Chris's dad, English teacher Jim Holechek, felt that it was good that he saw both sides of his son's life. How he viewed his son's school life helped him understand Chris's behavior at home.

Many people didn't expect that their teachers were also their classmates' parents. "My dad and I are exact opposites. He teaches English but math is by far my best subject," stated Chris.

Besides an occasional scheduling or transportation problem, most sophomores with parents at East felt that it was nice having their mother or father near It gave them a sense of security, and just knowing that there was someone watching made it easier to face everyday challenges.

No skipping SCIP

New program fights teen addiction

Despite passage of a legislative measure raising the legal drinking age in Nebraska from 20 to 21, many teenagers were still able to obtain alcohol illegally.

One out of every ten teenagers was a statistical victim of alcohol addiction. But fortunately, help was available for East students with drug problems through the School-Community Intervention Program (SCIP).

SCIP held group sessions once a week for students who wanted to get help in overcoming their addictions. During these sessions, students discussed why they had gotten started using drugs and the effects those drugs were having on their lives.

Mickie Frazier-Koontz, a French teacher at East, was the SCIP Tearn Coordinator. She got involved with SCIP because teaching was not enough to satisfv her.

Koontz said she felt that the SCIP program helped many students, but was far from reaching its goal. She said East needs "mor~ openness and more tolerance by kids and faculty."

Jim Kittell, a sophomore at East, played a large part in getting other students to attend the SCIP meetings.

Kittell got help himself from Valley Hope, an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in Q'NC?JI~ -Nebraska. While Jim was there he saldne acquired the tools to help him quit and stay straight "one day at a

time for the rest of my life."

Valley Hope helped Kittell overcome his addictions to alcohol, marijuana, speed, and downers.

He had originally gone to Vice-Principal Darwin Salestrom with his problem because "I thought I had a little problem." The most difficult part, however, was telling Jim's parents about his addiction. He was unable to tell them so Salestrom did, and according to Kittell, "they were stunned."

Jim said he noticed a significant change in himself since the treatment. "I don't lie anymore, and I care a lot more for others, especially my parents."

First-day jitters

More options for junior high

Summer rolled lazily by and suddenly, rt seemed, it was August 29, the first day of school.

The luxury of staying up all night and sleeping late was gone. It was time once again to get up at six in the morning, attend school, get home to do homework in the evening and th~n hop in bed by 10:30.

As the first week of school approached, junior high students spent the last few weeks basking in the sun, going out with friends, shopping for clothes, and getting new hairstyles so the beginning of school would be perfect.

Everyone worried about the first day of the new school uear, but this new beginning

held extra worries for the new seventh graders. They -entered East with wide eyes full of amazement, excitement, and confusion.

Eighth and ninth graders moved up one rung on the junior high ladder. For most of them, the first day of school wasn't so traumatic because they had already established friendships:

But although the ninth graders ruled the junior high roost, they still had to take a back seat to the upper classmen of senior high. Junior high students enjoyed the privileges of taking some senior high classes, attending senior high pep rallies, and making friends with older students, but they also

lost some of the leadership opportunities available to ninth graders in other junior highs.

"I think being in a school with junior high and senior high together is a neat experience," said ninth grader Jodene Glaesmann. "You don't have to change school after ninth grade and you can make a lot of friends."

Junior high students did enjoy a range of activities which included student councilsponsored dances and clubs like the Aed Cross. Academic activities included Spartan Singers, Illusions (an all-girl swing choir), and a drama club.

IStuCo plays an important role

The junior high student council an important role in the school life of the seventh , eighth, and ninth graders. The council worked hard, especially in striving to promote better school and community relationships

"We really had a lot of creativelyminded people on the student council this year," said Lindsey Miller, vice-president. "We were really impressed with the seventh

graders. They knew a lot about the school and how it works ."

The student council involved themselves in such things as dances, a teacher appreciation day, and a juniqr high student directon.i

This year's student council was sponsered by Loy Marotz and Chen.ii Smith There

were 19 members on the student council. Officers were President Chris Hartman, Vice-President Lindsey Miller , Secretary Sarah Digman, Treasurer Tod Crimmins, and Parlimentarian Mike Clare.

To sum things up, Tod Crimmins added , "Even.ione worked really well together. We had a lot of fun. "

A unique talent Adema named Miss Majorette

Since the age of thirteen, Kristi Adema, a ninth grader has been twirling the baton.

Kristi, who already has the title of Miss. Majorette of Nebraska in the beginner division, also holds the state title of twobaton champion. •

She is coached by Jody Adcox, who was also the flag corps and feature twirler's choreographer.

"When I was in kindergarten, I got interested because I knew a cheerleader," explained Adema. "Butt started again when I was thirteen, and in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

"I didn't even place in my first com-

petition, but I placed second in my next try Because of that, it gave me motivation to keep working and I've placed in every single competition since."

In July, 1983, Kristi went to National Twirling Competition in Notre Dame, Indiana. She placed in the top twenty in four of six events. Her trio was rated fifteenth and consisted of Denise Unruh (feature twirler for East), Dawn Unruh ( a ninth grader at Culler), and Kristi. Kristi also placed eleventh in her two-baton routine.

At the Miss Majorette of Nebraska contest which was held in May, 1983, Krist

won her division. She won the gown and interview portion of the competition, and the "T-strut" as well. She also placed second with her solo routine, giving her enough points for the overall championship "Baton twirling has taught me how to work hard and to be dedicated so I can achieve the best of my ability," commented Kristi.

Kristi practices an average of two hours a day when possible, "but, in the winter I have to look for a gym to practice in."

A head start Senior high classes now open

East Junior High students had a unique advantage over other kids in junior highs throughout Lincoln. Only at East could the Junior high students take senior high classes.

"We get a head start," said ninth grader

Sarah Digman, "but most high school classes aren't offered to the junior high students until they reach ninth grade."

Some of the senior classes available to younger students were debate, geometry, driver's education, and biology. Students from East were able to take biology before

they were ninth graders if they were especially interested in doing so.

Ruth Winter took biology as an eighth grader. "Sometimes I feel a little more adjusted to senior high classes than the junior high classes," she said.

Even ninth grade debate students were not officially allowed to compete, they learned a lot about a complicated subject. "We do a lot better than other teams when we're first year debaters because we already know the techniques," explained ninth

grader Bob Snyder.

Advanced math students were allowed to take geometry, an option not available in other junior high schools.

Many students at East felt privileged to be able to take senior high classes. Kevin lee, a seventh grader, adjusted well to his senior high biology classes and offered this comment: "If a school can provide the advantages to the students, then why not?"

Newspaper brings classes together

"East News and Views" was the name for the junior high newspaper and was staffed by both eighth and ninth grade students.

The production of the paper was done by t~o junior high journalism classes taught by Mr. Jim Schaffer. He taught one class each semester.

Schaffer said that he would have liked seventh grade students on the staff so that the paper could have more news about the seventh grade. He also felt that because the paper did not come out more than once a month that the news contained in it was someti"f'.les not very timely.

Schaffer noted, however, that the paper improved as the year progressed. "You learn as you go along," he said. The first semester journalism class published four issues of the

paper that Schaffer felt were very well done. Most students in the journalism class enjoyed it as Julie Agena, a ninth grade student, stated, "It was fun and you learned a lot." Auth Winter, an eighth grade student, said, "It was a neat class."

However, there was one major problem with the paper and that was the task of trying to get news about the seventh and eighth grade.

One jouralism student summed up the paper by saying, "It helped me become more responsible and independent, and it was neat to see your stories and pictures in the paper."

The eighth grade students in the _ first semester class were Mary Bender, Paul Best, Brent Bjorkman, David Boyd, Andy Snyder, Jeff Stewart, and Auth Winter.

The eighth grade students in the second semester class were Aich Armstrong, Jeff Becker, Jim Bruce, Erin Eggland, Josh Gardner, Mark Hawkins, Debbie Heinzman, Cliff Huss, Matt Jamison, and David Smith.

The ninth grade students in the second semester class were Beth Balke, Erica Birky, Tammy Butcher, Sarah Digman, Spencer Ebeler, Kristen Gutz, Jeff Hall, Nate Hoffman, Chris Horwart, Denise Lewis, Lindsay Miller, Mike Miller, Lynn Mumby, Debbie Peranton, Wayne Schomburg, Mike Thomas, and Amy Weyand.

The ninth grade students in the first semester class were Julie Agena, Ayon Ballinger, Kristi Frahm, Kirsten Gonzales, Kori Lewis, Angel Lisee, Tiffany Mullison, Tim O'Hanlon, Kim Smith, Dina Townsend, Vanessa Tremain, and Suzette Wilhelmy.

18 win superior rating Music Contest sparks interest

The Lincoln Public Schools Junior High Solo and Ensemble Contest/Clinic, held on Februaiv 6, meant a great deal of hard work and dedication

The Junior High students who participated came from all the Lincoln Public Schools. There were no specific music requirements and the students were allowed to choose their own music. The duets and ensembles were also formed by the choice of the student.

"It was fun working with the others on the ensemble," said Cindy Bair.

The participents performed in front of a judge at Culler Junior High, where the event was held. The judge then graded and commented on the student's performance. The judges were seleccted from the Lincoln public schools instrumental teachers.

Evervone who participated received a certificate for attending, and if the piece was especially well done, the person or group received a superior performance rating. Out of East's 18 entrants, 12 achieved this superior rating.

The instruments played were varied, ranging from the snare drum to the French horn. The only requirement for entering the contest was that he or she was a participant in an instrumental class in his or her school.

For many students at East, this was their first experience in non-band or orchestral work. According to Mr. Rogers, the East Junior High instrumental teacher, "This is the second year of the contest in Lincoln, but the first year that East students have participated."

"I was really glad East took part in the

clinic because it gave me a chance tc improve my performance ability," statec Erica Birkv.

A total of 36 students participated in the Contest. They included Erin Base, Juni Banerjee, Jodi Dick, Jackie Shapiro, Erica Birky, Debbie Perantoni, and Matt Wickless.

Other participants included Cindy Bair, Sarah Emerv, Pam Surkan, Paul Larsen, Mike Larson, Soham Roy, Susie Mausbach, Genelle Johnson, Meera Saxena, Heidi Mausbach, Jennifer Dubinsky, and Jamie Grabau.

Red Cross helps young afld old

Making people happy, whether at holiday dances or by feeding the needy, gave the members of Red Cross extra incentive for their efforts.

Mrs. Shuster planned many activities with the group. Some of the activities included Teacher Appreciation Day, a H~lloween Party at the Hartly Daycare Center, a Winter Holiday Dance, collecting canned food forthe needy, and a picnic with Cedars Home for Children.

Mrs. Shuster said she enjoyed the Red

Cross group because "I felt I was contributing to the community and the school. It also gave me a chance to interact with students outside of class."

Mrs. Shuster has sponsored the Red Cross group for five years. She said that"no major changes have been made in the past years, except we plan more activities now than before, a nd we have a stricter membership."

Giving an opinion on the group, Steve ' •Jolters stated that "Red Cross is helping

others and aliows you to meet many other interesting people."

Another point of view given by Jodi Carpenter was this: "I enjoy Red Cross because of the many activities that were planned, I also like the members of the group."

Tom Rogers summed it up the best by saying, "The best thing about Red Cross is the reward I get from seeing other people happy because of the activities we have done."

East claims MATHCOUNTS title

While reading and 'riting were strong subjects for many East students, it was the third r-'rithmetic-that bro1,1ght top honors for seventh graders.

Students from East Junior High won the first-ever Mathcounts contest, sponsored in 4 7 states by the Society of Professional Engineers.

The team was composed of seventh graders Kevin Lee and Betty Tong, plus eighth graders Kevin Imig, Nevin Swearengin, and Auth Winter. They defeated eight other teams Jrom southeastern Nebraska and moved on to regional competition on April 7.

Gaining top honors at the contest was Kevin Lee, the individual winner in the written competition.

Difficult weather conditions, including cold and snowy roads, kept some of the schools expected to compete from reaching the University where the contest was held Coach Leona Penner had approached the meet with confidence.

"I think we can win the state competition," she said. "Not that it will be easythis isn't a simple 'everyone can excel ' contest. It's demanding."

Twenty-two other students took part in a preparatory program set up by Penner Those students included seventh graders

Mark Dynek, Ashok Gupta, Jason Hinkle, Allen Hassebaum, Paul Larson, Kevin Loos, Lynn Lu, Joel McGlurkin, Kim Olson, Tyler Pearson, Tom Reisher, Aaron Taylor, and John Wolcott.

Eighth graders in the program were John Becker, Jennifer Dubinsky, Jason Maatsch, Kristin McIntosh, Aobyn Aooney, Pam Surkan, Brian Thompson, and Christina Usher.

Mini-skirts are back

SO's and 60's live again

Many new fashions, some of them strange, some of them not so strange, made the East · High fash ion scene a place to watch.

One item of apparel, shoes, seemed to be the same for both sexes. Tennis shoes were popular with both guys and girls. Favorite brands included included Vans Converse All-Stars (in many different colors): and Sperry Top-Siders. Penny loafers, army boots, and normal dress shoes also filled the bill. There were also the normal dress and tennis shoes.

Because of the hot weather at the beginning of the school year, it was not uncommon to seee people wearing bermuda

shorts. During the winter months some girls wore them despite the cold weather.

During the cold weather, girls usually wore several layers of clothing. Many wore turtle necks with an Oxford and then possibly a sweater over that. Many of the girls wore their collars up on the:r blouses; some of the guys did too.

It was also not unusual to see girls strolling the halls in striped or checkered jeans. The girls also wore short jeans with zippers on the pant legs . The guys sometimes wore striped jeans, but the newest craze was parachute pants. Parachute pants, which were made of a nylon material and boasted muftiple

pocket~. still could not overtake regular blu e jeans, however, as the favorite among bot h guys and girls.

For more formal wear, the girls wore th e mini-skirt or denim mini-skirt, which were back in fashion. "Some of the mini-skirts I've seen around school are a little too mini, " said Beth Balke.

As for the shirts, tops and blouses, Polos, lzods, and Hunters Aun seemed to b e favorites. "Polos will be in forever ' ' according to John Becker.

In any event, the style of clotning seen at East High revealed fascinating differences in taste, fashion and likes among the students.

Growing up no snap Peer pressure weighs on teens

Peer pressure has always been a major influence on teens, but it took on a special meaning _ for seventh graders. "People tell me to stay with kids in junior high because senior high people bother you," said Sam Kelley.

Some seventh graders may have felt some fear about coming to East because it had both a senior high and a junior high. But many others accepted the combined school concept as both a challenge and opportunity.

''Peers have a lot of effect on the things you do," explained Kathy Powell. "You're forced to act more grown up than when we were in the sixth grade."

Peer pressure affected the way people acted, dressed, ate, and even what classes they took

"Sometimes I take classes my friends do, just so I feel I belong. I don't even like some of them, but I take them anyway," explained Lanv Buskey.

Sometimes peer pressure caused people to do things that might hurt their grades. "I think people do what their friends want them to do, such as skip class and talk back to their teachers to show their friends that they're cool," according to Sam Kelley. "The classes that are the easiest are talked about the most," commented Lance Severson. " People take classes because of

the teachers' reputations and the amount o homework they usually give."

Teachers may have been the subject o discussion and even gossip, but they alsc expected a lot out of the seventh graders "Even teachers put pressure on th ( students," explained Lanv Buskey. "yOl have a lot more homework, teachers mak, you work harder than I ever had to work if sixth grade."

With growing up and becoming a ne seventh grader, more responsibilities we n expected. Sam Kelley said it best, "It's no easy growing up, and coming to East af1\ under pressure all the time are just a part o : many steps to come."

"Take the Pepsi Challenge!" "Over 10,000 Low Pricesl" "Buy Nowl" Like all consumers, students faced the appeal of advertising from every direction.

High school students continued to be an important factor in Lincoln's economy. The expanded shopping areas in East Park Plaza, the proximity of the Clocktower Shopping Center, and the ability of many students to combine part-time jobs with their school work made students some of the most important consumers for local businesses.

In addition, many students provided the manpower for local shops and services. Several surveys showed over half of East students had part-time jobs during the job. Students made popcorn at the movies, served hamburgers at the drive-in, and even conducted long-distance telephone surveys for Selection Research.

On December 8, s udents got a chance to take the Pepsi challenge whenl'epresentatives from a

local bottling company brought their wares to the school cafeteria. As it turned out, 60% of the students who took the challenge preferred Pepsi to Coca-Cola.

Advertising gimmicks were plentiful. Burger King invited customers to use home-made coupons which read "I switched to Burger King." Weird Wally, a used-car dealer, got consumers' attention with jokes and crazy billboards. Show Biz Pizza gave free tokens to anyone who would wear a spaghetti collander ·on his head.

Marketing and consumer-oriented classes continued to be popular. Students in Mrs. Payne's classes learned to take marketing surveys to discover just how and where students were spending their money.

But while students were important customers and employees for local businesses, the businesses also played an important r le in supporting the school. Advertisers helped defray the costs of the school paper and yearbook and paid the entire bill for the school calendar.

DOWNTOWN UNCOlN, hub of the cop1to1 city ' s commercial act1v1ty. regarded the opening of the new Cornhusker Hotel as a moJo r at t raction.

Jackson's "Thriller" thrills country

Music as usual but musical videos in particular dominated the teen entertainment scene.

Michael Jackson's Thriller sold over 30 million albums, an all-time record. The album also produced seven hit singles including "Beat It," "Billie Jean," "The Girl is Mine," and "Thriller."

Jackson wasn't the only one with a hotselling album. Police's Synchronicity and Prince's 1999 also sold well.

MTV continued to be a big hit in just its second year. Even though "Girls on Film" and "Hungry Like the Wolf' by Duran Duran won Grammys, the students' favorite videos included "Thriller" and "Beat It" by Michael Jackson and "Jump" by Van Halen.

The record and video industry witnessed the arrival of many popular new groups from Great Britian and Australia, lead by the English group The Culture Club. Other non-American groups to hit it big

included The Eurythmics, Men at Work, and the hard-rocking Quiet Riot. Parties, East Park Plaza, and the movies were where most people went for a good time. The students' favorite movie was, not surprisingly, Terms of Endearment. The movie was of special interest to Lincolnites because part of the movie was filmed in Lincoln and several East students including sophomore Kim Beavers ( whose mother •was casting director) played small background parts.

The 1200 copies of the 1984 Epic were published by Walsworth Publishing Company of Marceline, Missouri. The company representative was Mike Diffenderfer. The 224-page book with an eight-page supplement sold for a total of S16 a copy, including tax and a plastic protective cover.

Type was set by the graphics and word processing departments of the Lincoln Public Schools Administration Building. Extra time was put in by Kathryn Stevens of PSAB.

Throughout the book, type was set to the following sizes: body copy, 10 point; kickers, 24 point; headlines, 36 point; captions, 8 point. The Bauhaus type style and mosaic layout remained constant for all sections.

Some of the group pictures were taken by Evan's Studio, Hamilton's Studio, and the Picture Man.

Special thanks go to the photographers of the Lincoln Journal who provided photos for the swimming pages and for the year in review pages.

The cover was designed by senior editor-Marcia Miller, and the theme "Puttin' On The Aitz" was suggested by sports editor Jena Janovy and agreed upon by the whole staff.

Although he tried to start a boycott against Nebraska. Sileven returned frequently to Council Bluffs in order to pion strategies to keep the uncertified Louisville Christion School open Seven fathers of the school's students were joi led for contempt of court in Coss County. The reason for the arrests was refusing to cooperate in answering questions about the school.

The incident brought notion-wide attention to Nebraska. and brought hundreds of ministers from around the notion to demonstrate.

hen the party ended

The party was over; it was time to go home. After the halls were emptied and the glitter and gold were swept up, the school was m de ready for the next group of fe st ive stud~nts.

At last it was time to remove th e milk crates from the bottom of the lockers, and pay off all lib rory fines in order to receive final report co rds.

Finals were over, and the hard task of saying good-bye to friends and teachers followed. Special friends would keep in touch over the summer, and many graduating seniors would return for visits, but these seemed mere a~er-thoughts. The year was over.

Walking down the halls, one

felt like an intruder on a once-great dance hall now empty and silent.

On May 25, the students who left East High were as rich as their stereotypes had claimed, but the new wealth could not be measured in terms of dollars and cents. Instead that wealth could only be measured in memories.

Recollections ranged from tailgate parties in November to fondue get-togethers before the Billy Joel concert April 9, from elaborate evenings at the Skylight Bistro to expense-free jogging dates, from cancellation of school because of two snow days in December" to being locked in sixth period classes because of a bomb threat in March.

Many found happiness while traveling to Wayne State on tour with Singers, or going skiing with East Guard, or attending a journalism convention in St. Louis, or going to New York City with the speech and debate team. Bus rides and living out of a suitcase brought out personality traits that don't always hove a chance to surface during regular school hours. Thus, special friendships were formed and benefits beyond textbook knowledge were gained. As Cathy Stunkel said of her trip to Wayne State, "We all managed to become closer and feel more like a family. It was neat to finally get to know everybody."
