From the very beginning, East was not your 'common' school. Conceived in 1967 as the ultra-modern high school, East was fully air-conditioned and equipped with the latest in educational technology including a TV studio. Much to students' dismay, the classrooms were designed without windows, the better to handle all the audio-visual programs experts anticipated.
Even the school colors were unusual. All the other schools used black for one of their colors. Lincoln had black and red, Northeast had black and white, and Southeast had black and gold. At first the students at East considered making their colors black and blue, but then they finally opted for blue and white. Again, very uncommon.
But by 1987, the ultra-modern school was showing its age. Twenty years before, there were no girls sports of any kind. Now the school needed new locker rooms to accomodate a number of outstanding teams. In fact, East was the reigning Nebraska all-sports champion in girls atheltics with state championships in volleyball and gymnastics. The new locker room addition on the north side of the girls gym was only one, however, of a number of changes and modifications.
•
Another major renovation reflected the advent of the computer. Portions of the AV room and the media center were remodeled to create a special computer lab, nicknamed "Wheels of the Mind." The 16 new computers in the computer lab brought the total number of computers in the building to nearly 100.
If normally would have been easy for students to fall into a routine, but new class times, designed to meet stiffer state standards, made life more interesting. For the first time, school began before 8 a.m., at 7:55 to be exact, and periods lasted an unusual 53 minutes.
Surprisingly for a school located near the exact center of the country, East was a crossroads for foreign students. There were seven foreign students in all, from Sweden, Spain, Norway, Finland, Germany, Arg~ntina, and Australia.
The changes that twenty years had wrought certah1ly made East a more common school in the sense that it was better adapted to meet the needs of the '80's, but the student body continued to make East an uncommonly good place to learn.
Six students were chosen as National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists, another was voted Lincoln's Junior Miss, another an AllAmerican cheerleader, and still another an All-American porn pon squad member.
"When you walk down the hall," explained senior Mi~e Sprague, "you can really pick out individuals and the individuality our school has. But our teams show the kind of unity we have."
In the end students and faculty sound something in common, something in common with excellence.

As long as students have been ip school, probably •the most important thing of the whole week was the weekend. And as the saying went "If Mohammed won't come to the mountain, bring the mountain to Mohammed."
East High students didn't have to go far to find all kinds of diversions because Lincoln's commercial interests came a-calling. Gateway Shopping Center, Lincoln's first suburban shopping center, was about a mile away, but two newer shopping areas were much closer. East Park Plaza, which opened in 1984, was closer still, and in the fall, Meridian Park opened just south of East Park.
"I think it's convenient and adds a lot more variety," commented Amy Amack. "I like to have choices and another shopping center adds a lot!"
To enjoy all the new shopping centers, one had to have a good supply of money. To ensure a secure economic standing in the world, students held part-time jobs.
"I like my job, especially because the people I work with are really nice and we all get along so well," stated senior Kendra Barnes, a Taco-Inn employee. "It's also well worth the time I put in because everyone can always use money."
Not only did jobs provide money for students but also a good supply of skills for future careers.
Keeping up with new entertainment in Lincoln was a job held by al students. Cinnamon rolls and video rentals were just a few new passions to hit East. Never had Lincoln had a store solely dedicated to the tantalizing tastes of cinnamon rolls.
"I absolutely love T.J. Cinnamons! They have the best rolls I've ever tasted," commented senior Sheri Sorenson. • It also seemed as though VCR's had taken a jump and led students to create new forms of dates. Nowadays, students were picking up a movie and bringing it home instead of going downtown to see one.
Students also became infatuated with new fads and trends. Reebok's we r e becoming popular again along with the more "rugged look" in clothing.
And a never ending passion among students was to socialize. Being out and about with "the gang" was undoubtedly the best thing to do. Whether it was going bowling or just staying home and watching some rented movies, being with your friends was the most important.
Please read on to find many more new passions and creations students developed for their own student life.

You heard that final bell, and headed for your locker. Among the piles of paper and trash in the halls you sense a deep feeling of relief in your stomach. At last, you've made it through another year of school. The feeling of "Let's get out of here!" was shared by all.
And with that sigh of relief, summer vacation began. Now, since there was a void in students' days, they had to find activities to take the place of school. Sleeping, sports, work, and swimming were just a few things students did to pass time.
"Golly! All I did was sleep," junior John Corbin said about his average summer day.
Senior Dave Olson described his summer as "tennis, sleep, eat, tennis, and somewhere between love and deuce I worked for my dad's construction company."
It's hard to believe anybody was left in Lincoln, considering the number of people who went on trips. The most popular places to go last summer seemed to be Florida artd Texas. Some travelers went with organized groups, such as People to People and Young Life. Oddly enough, there were still students left in town for everyones favorite pastime-partying!
In the words of senior Kenny Pittman, he "went to many prestigious social galas."
The concensus of opinion was that the summer of '86 was great. There was only one complaint, aired by senior Tom Kolbe, who summed it up in three words"It's too short."

Something Comfortable While bowling, Scott Gaber wants to be as comfortable •as he can to achieve that winning score.
Long or short? Friends Ellen Canney, Amy Owen, Natalie Kuijvenhoven, Krista Hiser, Debby Sharpee, Jill Ristine, Susan Mohr, and Stefani Seaman show that hair styles could be long or short.
Fashions and styles have always been a big pa'tt of East High, and this year was no exception. Everybody had their own way of expressing themselves. Everybody was wearing their own style of clothing.
The most popular styles seemed to be Levis, T-shirts and plaid shirts for guys. Guys could wear many different shoes with this outfit, such as tennis shoes, penny loafers, topsiders or rugged outdoorsman shoes. For girls, there were almost too many things to mention. Girls would wear jeans, printed jeans, dress slacks, sweaters,jean-jackets, T-shirts, and the list went on.
Senior Regina Jenkins stated that her clothes have to be "comfortable, high tech fashion, and in vogue."
To get all these fashionable clothing articles, people would shop all over town just to get the 'perfect thing'.
"I would go from one extreme to the other-I would shop at the goodwill and then the Hitchin' Post", declared senior Kenny Pittman.
The choices for girls were endless, with new shops opening all the time, such as Pasta, Benneton and Gigi. But, for guys
it remained the old favorites, the Hitchin' Post and Ben Simons.
Junior Michele Venter declared, "There are so many choices I don't know where to begin!" •
Whether or not we want to admit it, the music we listen to, and the people who write it, had a big influence on how we acted and dressed. Clothing as well as hair styles were greatly influenced by the music industry. Boys hair cuts and girls skirtlengths drew a parallel. In the past, either very long or very short was the norm for each, but this year, any length of skirt or hair was stylish.
Even undergarments have made the news this season. Girls undies now looked like guys jockies, and boys went back to old-fashioned boxer shorts.
Senior Kenny Pittman disclosed that "I like a mixture in my life-briefs sometimes and boxers for style."
Swim team member Mark Schnieder revealed, "I just wear my swimsuit!"
In the final analysis of fashion '86, the password for style was COMFORT!

The Final Scene In the last of three scenes, cast members Amy Schutz, Cindy Bair, John Sudduth, Erica Birky, Becky Palmer, Jenn Cognard, spend a serious moment chatting
All The Little Women Sitting around goin~ over the day's events are Cindy Bair, Erica Birky , BeckyPalmer ,AmyShutz,anctcenter,JennCognard.
The traditional feelings and sharing and sacrificing at Christmas time formed the heart of the fall play, Little Women .
The play, set in the house of the March family in the middle 1800's, described a closely knit family, working as a whole, while also trying to achieve their individual goals. The family was caught up in poverty, which pulled them toward separation. Good times as well as bad times struck the family, but in the end, all goals were reached.
"Off the stage, as well as on the stage, we were a family," commented Rebecca Palmer, "we all had to pull together to make it."
For a bit of encouragement, the 'family' embraced in a solid hug before the opening of the play . This signified the togetherness of the cast.
Although times got tough, the cast pulled it off In tense times, they made the best of it. Before rehearsals, a few cast members would sing and laugh to break the pressure. After only eighteen practices, the end came fast, but was welcome.
"We were all sad it ended, but we still have the memories, and the new as well as old friendships," said cast members.
Lots of hard work, talent, and responsibility was needed to make this play a success.
"Picking from all the talent was the hardest part," said director Carol Scott."

Trying to ignore the mess on the field, the Spartans go head to head against Fremont in the Homecoming game, October 4
Fish hung from the ceiling and a pink octopus swam in mid air. It gave you the impression of existing under the sea.
"Enchantment Under The Sea" was the theme for the Homecoming Dance, and about the only sea-worthy thing missing was a mermaid for homecoming queen.
Homecoming Royalty did include King Sam Somerhalder and Queen Ruth Spethman plus attendants Kevin Erickson and Lisa Boohar, Kent Anthony and Liz Ogborn, Monte Willis and Becky Palmer, Tom Fox and Sarah Digman, Scott Shipman and Lindsey Miller, Tim Artz Sarah Emery, and Holly Tropp.
The reason for the unusual number of attendants was a tie in the voting. Instead of tossing a coin, the Homecoming committee decided to let them all be up for the position.
"It's really neat to see that there is so much enthusiasm in the senior class," remarked Natalie Kuijvenhoven, Chairperson of the Homecoming Committee.
When asked about the turnout of the evening ' s events, Anne Barry, Homecoming Coordinator commented, "It was one of the nicest homecomings in years. We had a extraordinary turnout of the current students here at East, and we had • many returning alumni attending also."
The highlight of the evening was surely a pink, eight-legged friend at the dance, and the crowning of the Homecoming king and queen, who were chosen by a vote of both juniors and seniors.
When asked how he felt when his name was announced, Sam Somerhalder admitted, "I thought they were only calling up the finalists. I had no idea I had been crowned.
"Someone pushed me onto the platform, shook my hand, put a crown on my head, and told me congratulations!"
The music for the dance was supplied by the group Silent Reply.
"No one knew who the band was, but it turned out that they were really great!" commented Ling Faith, co-chairperson for Homecoming.
The overall spirit of the students seemed to grow through the whole day, starting at the Pep Rally and ending at the dance.
"This was the best Homecoming dance ever!" remarked Anne Barry.

If you asked just about any student at East how he felt about open campus for lunch, chances are they would have had only one complaint-it was too short.
Forty minutes didn't seem long enough for most people to get their cars out of the lot, drive down to East Park or McDonalds-the favored fast food stops among East students-and back to school in time for fifth period.
Junior Cortney Ohs thought, "It's really a matter of timing. If you hit a red light on the way back-that's just tough luck."
Tough luck and a lot of running for sophomore Ellen Canney, who said she ate "so fast I get sick to my stomach and feel gross all afternoon."
Though most students opted for a fun, but hurried, lunch out, others had different ideas.
Some sophomores made a daily trek to nearby Classic Food Mart, not for exercise, but because of a lack of trans- portation.
"We get hungry, too!" complained non-driver Jill Ristine
Hunger aside, the cafeteria was used as a place to catch up on homework, eat (maybe), and talk with friends.
Friends seemed to be the best part of lunch, and whether they chose to stay in or drive out, a short break and a few laughs were just what busy students needed to make it through tough afternoon classes.

"U.S.R.? U.S.R.? U.S.S.R? What are you doing?" said senior John Hayden when asked about the local band U .S.R.
And when asked about another local band, Peer Puppet, the response from senior Kristi Johnson was "what's a peer puppet?"
The reason most people had never heard of these bands was partly because they had no place to play. After the closing of the Brickyard early last summer, there didn't seem to be any place for aspiring musicians to go. But later that summer, the Tooth Gallery started having shows.
There were a few shows there , bu t then during a more major sho w with M.D.C, a band from California, the poli c e broke up the show because the gallery wa s too crowded.
"What's a peer puppet, anyway?"
Mr. Tooth said he might be able to give shows later on becau~e he wanted a place for minors to play.
Dr Moss agreed that a band can be a good thing to be in, and said that "there should be a creative solution to finding a place to play."
People who went to the shows to see t he local bands usually liked it.
"I liked the music, and the way all the people were getting into it," commented Lisa Boohar.
There were usually three or four bands in a show and the average price of admission was $3, a bargain for up to four hours of good, clean fun.

"Look back, look around, and look into the future," was the philosophy that the sophomore class used to dominate Spirit Week and take the upper hand in all three categories: decorations, skit, and all around spirit.
With the theme,"Back to the Spirit," the seniors finished a close second
"Most seniors felt that, deep down, they have the real spirit, because they have been a class together longer than everyone else," commented one senior.
"Our class pulled together and formed a team, and really made my senior year better than expected," added another senior.
Despite efforts by junior class officers, assisted by Deb Bacon and Heather Raikes to create the theme "Spartman and Robin," the junior class displayed a definite lack of enthusiasm.
"We gave it our best shot--next year we'll just have to try harder," said junior class vice-president Gina Vitello.
But really, what was all this for? What was the purpose of Spirit Week?
"To unite your fellow classmates, and work together," replied sophomore Jenny Shadley.
"It's everybody showing spirit
together ," added sophomore Jenny Stern.
"It's a week to let your hair down and get crazy!" was senior Scott Gaber's opinion.
Some students felt it was superficial to have each class separately competing against each other. They thought the school should act as a whole.
Dr Salestrom explained that Spirit Week promotes each class, and that the competition was good for raising student's school spirit
Overall, students at East did seemed to agree that the tradition of Spirit Week built and brought their classmates closer together, and that it was all in good fun.

Up
That's Not All Though students made up the majority of East crowds, faculty members Anne Barry and Marge Keep proved their mettle with consistent attendance. ,
The deafening roar of the supportive crowd was all the star player on the team heard as he raced against the clock's last four seconds for the final points that would win the state tit1e forthe team.
Afterwards, he pondered a question in his mind. Would the team had performed as well as they did if the crowd hadn't been there backing them up? Did the support of the student body and faculty plus the many parents and fans really affect the way the team played?
Melissa Foster, senior, answered very simply. "When the crowd is up, the team isup."
Christina Usher, a swimmer and crowd member added, "They're [the crowd] a big part of the outcome. Having the presence of a great audience can make or break a performance."
What special things are required to turn people sitting on bleachers into a 'great crowd'?
Size, mood and amount of support are the three basic ingredients for a successful audience. In order to even call it a crowd, large numbers of people must be present; otherwise you can plainly call it a group or a gathering.
Usher explained, "If hundreds of people are there supporting me to a victory, it's really hard not to win."
"The bigger the crowd, the more the adrenaline flows in the players," agreed Scott Haisch, varsity basketball player. "And the louder they get, the more you get pumped up and eager to win."
A sophomore 'crowdie', Rad Dobson, gave his idea on the effects of a large audience.
"It's easy," he explained. "When there's a huge crowd, the other team gets really intimidated and loses!"
The fans sometimes realized how important they were.
Carrie Burkey, a junior expressed this idea, "I feel as if I'm a help just by their knowing I'm there watching them."
The team may have a weakened performance if no one's there to share the victories and losses with. The support the fans provide for a loss is just as important as helping the team along to a victory.
" Even if you don't do well," explained Burkey , "hearing them, and seeing family and friends helps because you know you tried your hardest."
. Christina Usher added, "It's quite a disappointment to have performed your best when your peers have no knowledge of it."
The ovemll mood of the crowd at a game also made a difference in the performance of the team. A specific characteristic of a great crowd is enthusiam.
The pep band was a definite key to setting the mood and getting the enthusiastic spirit started.
"You need noise to get the players purnped," pointed out Fangman. "Once that happens, the team starts to play real well. These great plays get the crowd pumped- and everyone goes wild!"
The enthusiam of the crowd is kept alive by the help of 'spirit props'. These included a wide variety· of items such as porn pons, horns, confetti, party string, signs, wild clothing, and the most interesting of all--basketball-shaped hats.

January 21 was the end of first semester , and the beginning of skiing. Over 100 East students made the trek to Colorado for various ski trips during semester break.
"It was a blast," said junior Craig Workman. "The ride up there was long, and I got cramped up, but it was well worth the ~rip."
_ _
It seemed that nobody was pl.eased with the long trip to Colorado-either people's legs were too long or the seats were too uncomfortable. However, there was always an exception.
"I really kind of enjoyed the trip to Breckenridge," explained Marty Haessler "Ric (Alamo) taught all the people on our bus how to sing 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' in Swedish."
Despite the complaints about the rides, everybody who went to Breckenridge -with Singers loved the trip.
"I go skiing every year in Sweden," said Alamo, "and I figured, 'why miss a chance to ski in the U.S.?' I had a wonderful time "
Singers stayed in condominiums, and went skiing all day, slashing through the white powder and flying over moguls. At night they stayed up late to watch T.V. Ski Club went to Steamboat, and everybody loved it, except for the few that got injured. Jeff Olson sprained his ankle so badly that he couldn't ski the last day. Mike Clare lost control and ran into Monte Larson. Clare broke _ his thumb, while Larsen was only mildly scared.
'"'Steamboat was so much fun, mainly because we h ad so little supervision," commented Kyle Luthans. "We really could do anything we wanted-none of this 'everybody meet here at twelve o' clock stuff'."
By the last day of skiing, everybody had ma ured to the point where they were going down blue and black, rather than green 'bunny' slopes.
With clean up duties at 6 a.m., January 25, everybody was ready to go home. A fourteen-hour trip lay ahead, but everybody did their best to sleep through it.

Company On his way
More students than ever made for an exciting fall intramural season. The combined junior and senior high total student participation was 8,892-an alltime record.
Rudy Stoehr, the organizer and supervisor of the intramural program, said he was proud of the things he had done.
"I do it so the kids will have fun," said Stoehr, "I will miss these seniors as always. We wish them well. It will be tough to start over again next fall without them."
The fall sports were dominated by F.O.D.
"The team was always prepared and ready to give its all," said F.O.D. member Jeff Hellman. F.O.D. was poised and played as a team. They wanted it all-and that's just what they got. F.O.D. was the first team to be Triple Crown Winners, meaning they won all the field sports. These consisted of soccer, football, and ultimate.
In soccer, the G.O. Suckers had an astonishing 5-0 record. This gave them the regular season championship and they were picked to be the overall champions. In the playoffs, fourth ranked F.O.D. rolled past everyone and met the G. 0. Suckers for

the championship. Out of the blue, F.O.D. pulled the upset,,5-2 over the G.O. Suckers.
The Ultimate action was equally exciting. Ultimate was a sport played with a frisbee. The scoring consisted of seven points for a touchdown and four points if the frisbee went through the soccer goal. F ubar and F. 0 .D., both undefeated during regular season play, played for the championship. F.O.D. came through as the winners.
The regular season champions of football, F. 0 .D. seemed sure to walk home with the triple crown. Team Weed, led by Todd Rein, had other things to say about that. However, despite all the efforts by Team Weed, F.O.D. prevailed as the Triple Crown champs.
The playoffs in sand volleyball were between two faculty teams, Jets 1 and Jets 2. There were other good teams like Slam on the Socks, and Diamond Del, but they couldn't pull it off in the playoffs.
All this action and excitement made for a fun-filled fall intramural season.
"I'm glad everybody got involved-including myself," said senior Chris Hilsabeck.

Tackle the Man With The Ball Team Weed led by Ted Strnot want to take Mark Schneider of FOO, down a little harder than usual.
The intramural basketball season started in December, and three months later, Southern Death Cult, led by Mark Frederick, Jeff Hall, and Todd Rein, stood on top of the heap.
Hot Pooch and Southern Death Cuh had pulled ahead slowly but surely during the regular season as the White and Blue League champions respectively.
Joining the final four were the Fighting lchabods and Rudeness. The Cult beat the lchabods in two games, but not without a challenge from Dave Aschwege. Rudeness, a late joiner to the league, made a surprise entrance but playing Hot Pooch was just too great a challenge. Pooch beat Rudeness in two games.
In the finals, the Cult, led by Todd Rein and his three-pointers, pulled ahead to win the first game by 19. The next game was equally exciting but the Cult wrapped up the championship 7662, in two games.
"It just seemed to me that the Cult was unbeatable," said Dan King of Bartles and James.
Southern Death Cult had taken an early lead in the Blue League with a 91 record halfway through, their only loss coming to the Faculty Jets.
The Holiday Tournament midway through the season gave every team a chance to see how talented they really were
The Cult, through hard team work and good effort, beat Sweet Loaf, _ G.O. Suckers, and Hot Pooch to get in the championship game vs. the Fighting lchabods.
With only four players the Cult beat the lchabods by using such tactics as stalling. - • Winning the Holiday Tournament and most valuable player of the tournament--Matt Walters--Southern Death Cult emerged as the mid-way leaders.
The end of the regular season marked three days of All-Star games. The Blue League won all three games; Jeff Hall, Les Franklin, and Matt Walters were the three players of the week.

• The most popular form of transportation for high school students, next to the car, was the bicycle. It offered a fuelefficient, semi-guick, and convenient means of transportation.
But some people used it for much more than just a way to get around. They used it to build their bodies, stimulate their love of victory, and attract pain. These people were BICYCLE RACERS.
There were four bicycle racers at East affiliated with teams: Kipp Scott, Kent Carney, Kevan Griffin, and Brian Wood. Scott, Carney, and Wood raced for the Bike Pedalers Velo-city team, which was headed by Rich Rodenburg. Rodenburg, an East High graduate, had nothing but nice things to say about the racing outlook in general.
"A generation of athletes is being nurtured over there," Rodenburg said, "and I hope more of them get involved in cycling."
Everybody had a different reason for liking the sport. Carney said that it was definitely the competition that drew him to it.
That must also be why his coach Rich Rodenburg said, "Kent has the potential to be the next Greg LeMond" (LeMond recently became the first American to win • the Tour de France). Kevan Griffin liked the fact that you didn't have to be big to be a biker.
When asked what they liked least about the sport, they both said "the cost." Many agreed with them. The average price for an Italian racing bike was around $800.
And no one could forget the most important reason for riding bikes: girls Katy Haugland and Julie Arnold agreed, "We like the funny little suits they wear!"

The East High Singers upheld their tradition of hard work and long hours by putting on a fine performance of Brigadoon, the fall musical.
Brigadoon is based on the story of two young Americans lost in the Scottish Highlands. They stumble upon a small village not located on any of their maps.
One of the Americans, Tommy Albright, played by Tom Crew, falls in love with Fiona Maclaren, played by Juni Banerjee, and discovers the secret of the village-a magical spell which permits the village to awaken for only one day every one hundred years. If any of the villagers should leave, the spell would be broken forever.
Other main characters were played by Jed Bargen, Jennifer Cognard, Jim <;ulp , Melissa Foster, Bill Moser, and Scott Stalcup. •
Assisting in the performance was a skillfully assembled orchestra. Orchestra members included Meera Saxena on the flute and piccolo, Amy Hartman on clarinet, Amy Frederick on violin, Del Whitman (a faculty meember) on cello, Tyler Pearson on bass, Craig Schweitzer on drums, and Genelle Johnson on keyboards.
Many other students assisted in the production by volunteering their time and efforts by preparing scenery and make-up and serving on the light crew. The people who brought the whole production together were musical director Jon Peterson, technical director Carol Scott, choreographer Tracy Gableman-Hart, and accompanist Marcia Wiebers.
Cognard felt there •was a special something about the musical.
"The Singers were able to experience a somewhat unfamiliar and different cul-
ture," she said. "In presenting a Scottish cultural play, everyone was able to taste a flavor of something different."
Adding to that flavor were the Scottish kilts worn by the boys in the musical, not to mention the bagpipes played in a special performance by Tom Paine.
Another Singer, Jennifer Ruth, said "One will find many varied types of people in this group. Many might find it difficult to put such diverse people together and work toward the same goal.
"But Singers serve a common purpose, and we all strive to achieve the best we possibly can for this group. In this sense, I believe we all worked toward making Brigadoon the best it could possibly be, and through this, became closer to each other in a s_pecial way."

Have you · ever tried to dance in water? It's hard--if not impossible! But for the '80's ladies', otherwise known as the 1987 Dollfins cast, it's just another way to "keep in shape, and enjoy doing it."
On March 17 and 18, which closed the first decade of Dollfins, the swimming pool was once again lit up with flashy lights and costumes, catchy music, and 20 wet, smiling Dollfins. The theme was "The New Generation," which emphasised how far Dollfins had come in the last 1O years. Dollf in Alumni were invited back and presented awards, along with a hug from 1O year sponsor Deb Salyards.
The theme was supported by popular rock songs and lots of colored 34 Dollfins
legs flying around above the water. The trio members Jill Green, Suzi Trentini, and Liz Whitney performed to the song "Time Warp", and Amy Weyand and Dana Wilhelm performed their duet to "Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away".
President Kristi Johnston, who once said,"This may sound funny, but I've wanted to be president of Dollfins and have a solo ever since I was a sophomore," captured everyone's attention with her solo routine to "The Top Gun Anthem".
The audience was entertained by the Boy/Girl act where they watched Mark Bartolome, Jeff Hellman, and Ted Strnot attempt to 'porpoise'.
Officers this year were: Decorations chairman and Boy/Girl act
coordinator Dana Wilhelm, Treasurer Liz Whitney, Secretary Suzi Trentini, VicePresident Amy Weyand, and President Kristi Johnston.
When Amy Weyand was asked, "Why dollfins?", she replied, "I've always wanted to be a Dollfin--ever since I used to come up and watch my sisters in fifth grade."
The tryouts for Dollfins were held in November, and new members were chosen by their ability to learn strokes, stunts, remember a routine, and smile. With all their practices and effort during and after seventh period, it all paid off after the show. They deserve a fin!

Many different styles of music appealed to East High students. There were heavy metal, speed rock, punk rock, top 40, rap, and P,Op.
Each of these styles had its own 'look', too, though of course there were people who liked a little of each style and dressed accordingly.
"I like a lot of different styles of music and groups-everything from groups like The Cult and Metallica to Caberet Voltaire," said senior Tom Patrick.
Music played a big part in students' lives. To get picked up or to stir some adrenalin, students put on fast music.
"Right before a swim meet, I listen to the fastest thing I can find," said senior Mark Schneider.
When they were tired or wanted to calm down, teenagers listened to slower, mellower music.
Music was a part of almost everything teenagers did, including movies, radio, parties, and for many, even homework. "When I do my homework," explained Michelle Bartels, "I like to have something to set the pace-also so I don't get bored."

It's Friday and Johnny is in his last class, waiting for the bell. He has no idea what to do with his two days and two nights fo freedom. Johnny doesn't want to drive up and down 'O' street again, but he knows it is a distinct possibility. At last, the bell rings and Johnny is off to his locker, ready to ask all his friends what they are going to do over the weekend. Johnny asks Scott, but Scott is going out with Sue. However, Dave and Nate are able to do something.

Here are the 6 most common things done on weekends, as seen by 20 East High students.
1. Partying
2. Going to a movie
3. Going to sports activities

There are many uncommonly talented artists at our school, but we only had room to print just a few excellent pieces in the Epic. We chose the following pieces of artwork from Jeff Chartier, Chad Binder, John Hayden, Lance Kahle, and Wendy Bantam.
"I hate it when people ask me 'what does that mean?' because most of the time my artwork is the only outlet I have to express myself, " said Wendy Bantam about her art.
"I like to look at art," said senior Kevan Griffin. "It's pretty, _ and it usually kind of grows on you."
It was the 'uncommon valor' put forth by all athletes that led to state championships by several teams.
Successful training and determination led the girls gymnastics team to an overwhelming state victory for the second straight time.
One again, volleyball players rejoiced at a second state victory. Sailing through the year with a 29-2 record, team .members felt overjoyed.
"We all wanted to do it again since we were all coming back for a second year," commented Melissa Sanford. "The pressure of being number one was incredible, then actually winning it was the best!"
All sports teams were rewarded by the enthusiasm and spirit carried by the student body.
The adrenaline rose among the crowd as tension mounted in the last seconds of the boys basketball games. The Spirit Club cheered their hardest as the football team pushed their way to another touchdown. Whether it was in town or out of town, students were there to support their teams.
Due to the support and strength of the teams, East enjoyed a very successful season in sporting activities.
Was it 'uncommonly good luck'? No, it was simply the power and spirit of the mighty Spartans.

With a season-opening shut out of Omaha North, the varsity football team looked to be a football power, unlike the previous two years. The team lost its second game at Great Bend, Kansas, but then came back with two big wins against Southeast and Norfolk. · •
The season went down from there as the Spartans lost the next four games. But a victory in the final game of the season gave the Spartans a share of the city title.
The lack of people out for football was one of the biggest problems the team had to overcome. The Spartans had only fifty or sixty players out for three teams, and only thirteen of them were seniors.
"We had a lot ofinexperienced kids backing up the starters, so in a way, it's a moral victory to know we won with everyone we played," senior co-captain Tim Artz said.
The Spartans also suffered the loss of starter Tom Fox to a knee injury.
"He is such a great playerwe felt his loss," Artz said.
Despite East's problems in the middle portion of the season, other reams _ started having respect for the Spartans.
"People began to get really fired up to beat us, and at the same time we lost some of our intensity and didn't take teams as seriously," Artz said.
Co-captain Kent Anthony agreed about the intensity level.
"I think the team might have lost its confidence after the close loss to Fremont. We tried to work twice as hard, but we kind of got burned out before we even reached the game."
"Our record doesn't reflect the type of team we have," cqncluded Tim Artz. "Overall, we have excellent players, but things didn't click the last half of the season."

There was a lot behind the reserves' 0-7 record, and it was not just losses. Because of the limited number of players, the sophomore and reserve teams were forced to make one team. The team had to overcome a lack of experience and time to practice, because they also had to help with varsity practices.
"We made a lot of young mistakes," Coach Kechley said.
The team was made up of mostly sophomores and sixteen juniors, though most of the juniors also played in varsity games.
"It was hard to get up for so many games," commented sophomore Jamie Kechley.
By the end of the season the team had overcome its inexperience and were playing as a team.
"At first, we all were playing as individuals; we finally came together as a team and we were a much better quality team," Garrett Rob inson said. "With more time, our team could win,
there's no doubt about it."
The high point for the reserves was the game against Beatrice.
"We played really well against Beatrice," Jamie Kechley explained. "It was the first game we played as a whole team."
Of course the low point for the team members were their losses, but Robinson felt the team was much better than the record showed.
"We all worked hard, and we played the best we coulddespite the final score," he remarked.
The team did succeed, despite their record, and reached two major goals
"The team effort was there-we lost as a team, not as individuals," Kechley _ said.
"Our major goal on re- · serves is to prepare our kids for varsity."

Fast Break Racing down the court on a fast break is junior Scott Somerhalder against first round state tourney opponent Millard South.
Potential. The varsity boys basketball team had a lot of it. During the early part of the season, the team reached that potential, according to guard Chris Costello.
"At the holiday tournament in Kansas City, we played really well as a team-and won!" he said.
Teammate Scott Haisch agreed. "We peaked early, then we kind of struggled, and towards the end it was
harder to come up again."
Even without their full potential, the boys team reached the semifinals at State, losing to Norfolk a second time. The other two losses were to Lincoln High and Southeast. East ended the season ranked second in the state.
"We all had great speed and quickness, and we all liked to play at a fast tempo," Haisch said. Many people still viewed East as
the best full court team in the state. Two of their four losses during the year were to city teams who played a slow tempo style of play.
"We didn't always play all together. One person would play good, while the others didn't," Costello said. "You can be the best, but you're not always going to win."

The boys junior varsity team had good reason to be pleased with their 16-0 season, because the team is one of only three East teams ever to • go undefeated in a season.
The other two teams went scarless in back-to-back season in 1979-80, and 1980-81. McPherren said this team was "much more balanced as far as power and quickness. We were a lot bigger this year too," he said in a comparison of the three undefeated teams.
Junior Brain Bates and starting center Kent Lepard agreed that the Northeast game was probably the biggest game of the year.
"It was the last game, they were the toughest team we played all year. We knew it would be either 15-1, or 160. We didn't want to settle for 15-1," said Lepard.
"The sophomore class, as a whole, has a lot of good athletes and basketball players," Coach Brian Bullington said. That talent was often obvious when the boys sophomore basketball team played.
"I had so many players with talent," he said. "We played good baketball all year."
East High's sophomore city champions lost only three games during the season-to Fremont, Norris, and Pius X. •
"Playing Pius X and other teams gave us a challenge," starter Kevin Loos said. "I thought we were the best team in the city "
"Overall, we had the most talent," guard Brad Bernthal added.
T earn unity was also a big part of the team's success.
"Everyone wanted to start which helped with our team unity," Loos said. Coach Bullington ran a shift of five new players at least once each game·
"Even with all of the players getting to play, our performance didn't slacken," Bullington said.
Both Loos and Bernthal said they felt they improved during the season.
"Coach Bullington knows a lot of basketball, and he always knew what he had to do," Loos said.
"He was u class act all the way," Bernthal added

Two years ago the girls basketball team made it to state, but lost in the first round. Last year the girls lost in the second round at state. But this year the girls went undefeated (23-0), and won the state championship.
"The past three years have been a growth process," said Coach John Strain. "Each time you lose, you learn what to do the next time."
Senior starter Melissa Sanford didn't feel a lot of pressure throughout the year or at state.
"There was no pressure at state because we've lost twice there already. Coach Strain was really calm and he knew what • to expect," she said.
"We had as much pressure as any other team in the state tournament," added junior Cindy Peterson.
Coach Strain felt an important goal this year was togetherness.
"We had the talent to go all the way if everything fell in place," he said. "I wanted the girls to play as a team and enjoy playing."
Sanford also felt that team unity was the key.
"When anyone got down on themselves, someone was always there to lift them up. We really pulled together and it had a tremendous impact on our winning."
The basketball team played a big role in heightening school spirit.
"During the semifinals and the finals," Strain said, "the fans didn't care if it was a boys or girls game. They just knew it was exciting."

"This year has more or less been a preparation year for next y~ar," said junior Mary Augustine of the girls reserve basketball team. With a season record of 7-9 , starters Augustine •and Stephanie Miller felt they had a good idea of what they would be up against next year.
"We played a lot of teams that were mostly varsity players and we felt at a disadvantage, but for next year we'll have more experience," Miller said.
Two point games became a phenomenon for the reserves. Of the seven losses, four of them were either within two points or close to it.
Coach Petri still felt the team played exceptionally well.
"They kept working hard and never quit," he said.
"Everyone got a chance to reveal themselves," Augustine said. Losing eight seniors on varsity, Coach Petri felt he had to give all the girls every oppurtunity to show themselves.
"I think our team played well most of the time because we did things together outside of practice and games. We had a slogan to stick together-and we did!" Miller added.
Improving individual skills and winning were not the only things the girls sophomore
basketball team learned.
"There was an emphasis on positive self-image," said Coach Karen Irvine. "It's important to play basketball but I tried to give my kids things they can carry through their whole lives."
The sophomore compiled a season record of 10-2. This record is the best since the sophomore program began three years ago.
"We knew we had potential at the beginning of the season," forward Lisa Covault said. "We just had to adapt to each other."
The team adapted well, according to teammate Shannon Jessen.
"Our strong points were working with whoever was in the game, and not being a oneman team," she said.
The girls team won the city title, but lost to Waverly and Douglas, which was ranked 10th in class D-2.
"Against the small town teams we were intimidated, but in the city we were a fasterpaced team which helped us to keep control," said guard Jami Kehl.
After a season of success and improving many skills Covault still felt she learned more.
"The season help~d me · have a more positive attitude and play with an open mind," she said.
"We were all friends-one big happy family,>' Jessen added.

The defending state champs were in a familiar spot at the end of the season. For the second year in a row, the varsity volleyball team had claimed the title of state champions.
Unlike the previous season, however, East was rated number one the entire year, and became a heavy favorite to win the state tournament.
Coach Myron Oehlerking said he felt he had the best six athletes in the state. This proved to be a legitimate boast as

Both sophomore coach Nancy Colson and reserve coach Nancy Deffenbaugh agreed that their volleyball teams had great potential.
"Fundamentally, we're better than all the other teams," Coach Deffenbaugh said. Coach Colson agreed. "We're stronger fundamentally even though we don't always end up on top."
The reserve team included the experience of eight juniors and four sophomores.
"There's not one big standout," commented setter Stephanie Miller. "We're all equal, which creates a team balance."
Junior Mere Foster agreed. "If one person has an off day, you can depend on someone else ."
After a slow start with losses to Southeast and Grand Island, team unity and confidence became a positive force in the success of the reserves.
"It helps us play better because everyone is so supportive of each other," Foster said.
"Our inain goal was to play to rthe best of our ability," explained Coach Deffenbaugh, "and we accomplished it."
The sophomore team also opened their season with losses to Southeast and Grand Island, but after that, no team could rival them.
"At first, we were playing as individuals, but when we worked as a team-we won," setter Dawn Dymacek said.
Coach Colson credited their success to a total team effort.
"From the beginning ofour season, the team was intense with the determination to become a better team. Our team has a great willingness to learn."
Both sophomores Dawn Dymacek and Lisa Covault agreed that they had learned a lot, and they feel great about the season-their winning season. •

It was the best of tirries, it was the worst of times. "It was like a roller-coaster ride," said Kyle Luthans about the cross country season.
"Although it got discouraging at times," commented Kim Oswald, "the season was a lot of fun and there were a lot of improvements."
The competition was really tough for both boys and girls teams. Having to compete regularly against Lincoln High and Southeast, the two best teams in the state, East runners under the coaching of Jim
McConnell had their work cut out. for them.
"We had goals to try and stay up there with Southeast," said Krista Hiser. "At meets, we would try to catch as many black and yellow jerseys as we could. I think they were surprised at how close we got to them
The girls team finished the season with a more than satisfying fourth place finish at districts.
The guys team had their ups and downs At districts, they finished third as a team,
qualifying them for state. But finishing twelfth at the state meet proved to be pretty disappointing for most of the runners.
"It was the worst East has done in a long time, and the worst race I have probably ever run," said junior Tim Jung. Jung said the year w~sn ' t quite as successful because of the lack of disc ipline and leadership. "It seemed like no one cared ," he said
Senior Mark Frederick said, "It wasn't really that disappointing, because at the
beginning of the year our goal was to make it to state After that, what happens, happens. We could have done better, but that's just life. What's more is that we worked hard and had a lot of fun."
And that's what's impor- , tant because, as the team's motto said, " In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail."

It was another banner year for the East gymnasts. The girls team won their second straight state title, and the youthful boys team qualified for the state meet via the wild card with a 5-1 dual meet record.
The girls, undefeated two years running, finished the season ranked number six in the nation. Kristin Gutz, Ann Roseland, Sherri Sorenson, and Christina Waller earned AllAmerican honors in all around and all four individual events.
For the boys t eam, ninth
grader Brad Bartek was AllAmerican in the floor exercise, still rings, vault, and the all around
Coach Dave Eppert was "extremely pleased" with all the gymnasts and felt lucky to have such talented athletes to coach .
One setback for the S-partans was the loss of senior Teri Metcalf. Metcalf injured a knee early in the season, and was unable to return.
At the state meet, the girls finished with 290.45 points, an all-time high for an East team at
state. Individually , Kristin Gutz finished first in the all-around, winning beam, bars, and placing second in the vault and floor exercise . Ann Roseland finished third in the all-around, and fourth in the beam, parallel bars, and floor exercise.
"It was a fun year," Roseland said. "A lot of the credit should go to Renee Boslee, the assistant coach. She did a great job "

It was a year of quality. Not just quality performances, but quality effort, and quality work as well.
For the girls team, quality meant an 11-0 record, city and Greater Nebraska team titles, and a sixth place finish at the state meet. "We had a great season," said senior co-captain Marcee Marti. "Everyone swam really well
individually, and as a team."
The guys team showed a very deep and talented lineup, comparable to some of the best teams in East history. They went 10-1 in dual meets and placed second at the Conference meet, losing only to Southeast, the eventual state champs. The guys team finished third at the state meet behind Southeast, and Omaha Westside.
Mark Schneider, one of the guys captains, felt very good about the year.
"I thought it was the best year for me personally, and definately for the team. We scored more points in the finals than we have in a long time," Schneider said.
A lot of East's success came from th~ divers. Freshman Jason Baumann finished second at state,
and sophomore Paul Larsen was third. Baumann broke the ten year old record of 425.85 with a personal best of 459.15.
Both the guys and the girls teams had very young squads, and will be back even stronger next year. With six graduating seniors, four of which qualified for the state meet, East will be guaranteed success in the year to come.

Focusing In Junior Tim
concentrates on a tough shot at the reserve LPS tournament.
A small dose of tension within the boys varsity tennis team may have been the key factor that lead to their second place finish at the state meet.
"Tension within the team is good," explained first-year coach Jodi Nelson. "There's always a chance for someone to get knocked off by another player, and this forces everyone to work harder and improve."
Ninth grader Andy Stock, the number one singles player, also felt the tension.
"I took the first couple practices really seriously because I could barely beat my teammates," he said.
The top two singles positions depended on ninth graders Andy Stock and Rick Stempson.
"The ninth graders have helped the team and forced the older people to work. They stayed steady throughout the year," Nelson said.
The success of the number one doubles team, consisting of Dave Olson and Brad Bemthal, was temporarily hampered by an injury to Bernthal. But Bemthal recovered in time for the state meet.
Olsen said, "We've played everyone and we are capable of beating them." And they did come close, losing only in the finals at state.
The number two doubles team, which went straighl to the top to win the gold, consisted of Bob Wenger and Frank Alonso. Both the number one and two singles players lost in a tough first round at state.
Beating Southeast at state was a big goal for the tennis team.
1 "It was truly exhilirating beating Southeast," Bemthal said. "It was a moral victory."
Throughout the season, East had come up short each time they played Southeast.
"In every out of town meet we played against Southeast, which is hard because they're a really tough team," commented coach Nelson.
At state, however, things were different. After the first day of competition, East and Southeast were tied at thirty, but with the success of the doubles team, the Spartans pulled away for the silver medal.
The reserve team also found a lot of success, only losing to Southeast.
"Our biggest goal was to beat Southeast," Jason Barton said.
The number one doubles team of Barton and Tim Kelley was successful against the Knights.
"Every time we played them it was close, and we killed them once," Barton said of the ongoing rivalry.
The city tournament was a letdown for the reserves, however, with the team finishing second to Southeast, but the team did improve.
"It's tough with only one coach for both varsity and reserves, but the reserve team improved a lot," commented coach Nelson.
"We've got a lot of depth on the reserve team. Most of our reserves could play on other schools' varsity teams and win," she said.

Honesty was the price the girls golf team paid for a chance at playing in the state meet.
Anita Calvert fired a 109 at districts, assuring the Spartans of a third place finish and a berth in the state tournament. But a slight mistake on a scorecard disqualified Calvert's score, and East had to add their fifth player's score-dropping them into fifth place :
"No one had noticed the mistake, except Anita, who knew on the seventeenth hole .that she had a four, and not the three that was put down on the score sheet," explained Coach Trimble. "She told me after the score was official-what happened was totally unintentional, and Anita did the right thing by reporting it."
Although the Spartan team did not qualify, both Alysen Madsen and Chris Howart qualified individually.
Coach Trimble 'felt the team achieved all kinds of goals. The team broke a score of 400
in every- tournament except two. Anita Calvert took twenty or thirty strokes off her score from last year, and Chris Howart stayed between the scores of 88 and 100
"It was a very, very successful year," Alysen Madsen, the number one player at East, said and added that she felt the overall golf competition had improved. Madsen credited Coach Trimble for keeping the East team up with other competitors
"Mr.Trimble has made the golf team a competition, forcing all of us to work harder. Without his help, our team wouldn't have been as successful," Madsen said.
The girls golf team found that there was a more important thing than winning-honesty.

Season: 0-6 All His Strength Chad Sutko
When looking back at a season, there is more to look at than wins and losses. As it says in the Olympic Creed, "The most important thing is not to win, but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well."
East wrestlers struggled, and they fought well, but they didn't taste the triumph of victory. Nevertheless they developed a pride in themselves for putting out the extra effort.
"It was a year of improvement and building," said junior tri-captain Brad Kinnaman.
"Our lack of experience
cost us some matches, but overall I was real pleased with all the sophomores," commented Coach Craig Hellwege. "They stepped in and did a real good job. They're a hard working group with a bright future."
East qualified four wrestlers for the state meet, all of whom will be back next year. They included sophomores B.J. Dowding (112), Chad Sutko (138), David Hunting (98), and junior Brad Kinnaman (119).
Dowding set a new school record with 25 pins in one season. That was also the second most pins ever in class A wrestling. Dowding placed sixth in the 112 pound class at state, the highest place any East wrestler achieved.
Excellence. It was the key to all academic involvement at East High. Students strived to reach their goals through the entire year, not st~pping for anything.
Becoming involved was the first thing. People joined clubs not only to be involved but to gain knowledge about our growing society.
Organizations like DECA and Business Club that helped students increase their knowledge about economics and the business world in general. Students involved in speech and debate teams went through rigorous training to compete in events that helped them relate to the world around them.
The enrollment in Advanced Placement classes seemed to increase from years past. Teachers went out of their way to give the students an 'uncommonly good' education while students were eager to learn.
Academic achievements occurred frequently throughout the year. With six Merit Finalists and thousands of dollars in scholarships being awarded, students had a lot to be proud of.
•
Extracurricular involvement in such groups as Singers led the administration to recognize members with a 'letter'. Now not only did the quarterback of the football team get a letter, but so did the lead soloist in "Expressions"
Such outstanding academic achievements would not have occurred if it had not been for determination and the will to learn. With all the knowledge they had acquired,'uncommon excellence' simply became second nature.
Although singing was high on the list of priorities, it was far from the only thing that was learned in Singers.
"I learned to be respectful of other people's things, and to have good posture and good manners," said Jed Bargen, a senior member.
Mere Foster, a junior, added that "Pete stresses being mature, in all situations, with or without singing."
Whatever they were learning, everyone seemed to be having fun. In addition to several concerts throughout the year and the final Expressions show, Singers also put on a musical, Brigadoon .
"It was really neat! We spent a lot of · time practicing for it but it was worth it," commented Foster.
"It was the best!" exclaimed senior senior Cindy Livers. "That's where I met a lot of people and found out what they were
"Pete stresses being mature in all situations, with

really like."
Close relationships within Singers helped make the work for Brigadoon
easier.
"At the beginning of the year there were so many people it was hard to get to know everyone, but when we were thrown together in little groups for Brigadoon we got to know each other a lot better," explained Foster.
Bargen agreed. "Everybody's pretty close. It's a pressure situation but everyone pulls together to do good "
Senior Brian Wood summed up his experience with Singers in one sentence.
"In Pete's class I learned as much about life as I did about singing."

What are we supposed to do? Even the walls in the Singers room ooze with helpful hints to aid Pete with his direction.
"We've come a long way, baby." This quote from Pete (Jon Peterson) describes the action of the Swing Choir.
The choir only had three returning senior members. Jane Asbjornson, a first year member, said, "Swing Choir has accomplished a lot this year, learning to work together and get along."
As an inexperienced group, the choir had other obstacles to overcome.
"We had to start with the basics, teaching everyone to dance, learning to think together, while achieving the right blend," junior Nadine Martin reflected.
Andy Farber agreed it was hard work. "You have to give 100% or you let down the group. It takes a lot of discipline."
The group also suffered some setbacks due to the loss of two senior male voices--Pablo Rodriguez and Monte Willis. Pete summed it up by saying, "I'm so proud of what we've done because we've had so far to come."
In addition to Swing Choir, another select group was Chamber Choir. Pete said he established this group because there were so many good female voices, and so many girls wanting to pursue more singing classes. Pete also wanted to give sophomore girls a chance to sing and perform outside sophomore chorus.
"The point of our choir is to give girls who are serious about music a class in which they can learn and perform," Erin Brase stated.

"At Attention!"
"Horns Up!"
"Step Style!"
"Band-on your toes!"
For those who made the daily trek up from the parking lot, these phrases probably sounded very familiar.
Each morning for the first quarter of school, the band practiced on the driving range. Instructions, called out by East's new band director Del Whitman, could be heard for blocks in any direction.
"We practice every morning from 7:10 to 8:45, and sometimes Saturdays if we have a show," explained three -year band member Cara Petri.
All this practice, plus three weeks of band camp at the end of summer, was well worth it. In addition to marching in the Havelock Parade, the band earned two superior ratings in two different band competitions. The first competition was the Bandmaster competition on October 25 ; the second one came during the
Nebraska Marching Festival competition on Nov. 8.
"It was great!" said junior Christina Usher. "And now we're respected by all the other bands in the city and by our own school."
Much credit for these accomplishments was given to the new band director, Del Whitman, a recent graduate of Hastings College.
"He's got a lot of energy!" exclaimed Petri.
"He's really peppy and kind of a spaz," added three-year veteran Ron Van Valkenburg.
For Petri, the best part of being in band was playing at the games.
"It's really fun if you're down in front because you can see the drum majors and yell with the ch~erleaders."

Excellence Practicing during class was vital for the spectacular performances the orchestra gave throughout the year Here is Nicole Johnson playing her violin with the group
There is good music, and then there is the great sound of East High's Stage Band and Orchestra.
Not many students had the opportunity to hear the Stage Band or Orchestra during the school year, and they were really missing out. Under the direction of Del Whitman, both groups • made outstanding progress.
The Stage Band is a group chosen by audition only. They study the styles of jazz, blues, swing, and rock, and then perform concerts throughout Lincoln. They gave two concerts _ at East, and played for the residents of Eastmont Towers.
To learn more about this varied music, and for a change of pace, experts from the community were invited to East by the Stage Band. A few people invited were Andy Hall, an expert in rhythm and bass guitar, and Mark Benson, a saxaphone pro.
When asked about Stage Band, Mr. Whitman replied, "This year has ~ been interesting, because my experience is in band and orchestra--we have had to learn together and work together to get that 'laid back' sound of
Senior Stage Band member Ross Klamuth could only summarize Stage Band in two words, "Willy lives."
As for the Orchestra, Mr. Whitman shrugged, "Where do I start?"
The Orchestra's work and progress could not be equalled.
"Their excaliber has virtually reached a professional level," commented Mr. Whitman (after deciding where to start.)
• The Orchestra never had any competitions, but - other directors and orchestras heard them, and declared East's orchestra to be the best in the state.
The most exciting adventure the Orchestra had was visiting Lawrence and Shawnee Mission High Schools in Kansas in March. They attended classes, listened to other orchestras, and performed a shared concert.
"They've done super this year, has fun, and impressed themselves," said Mr. Whitman, "and that's the reward in music."

Yearbook
Who spent more than 9,000 minutes thinking about you? Why, the yearbook staff, of course, which collectively spent that much time planning, researching, writing, and photographing the students and staff at East High.
"It seemed like we had so much time at the beginning of the year, but now all of the work is catching up with us. We're really going to have to push hard," said iunior Gina Vitello .
The student staff worked many long hours to make deadlines.
Most Saturday mornings and a lot of school holidays you could find Schaffer, Editor Lynn Mumby, and a dozen other members putting in extra time. Without all this hard work, the yearbook would have come out in the fall, which is the fate of many high school yearbooks.
Two very big improvements which helped staff members were new Macintosh computers and a darkroom built into the journalism office.
'Tm crazy about them!" explained Krista Hiser. "There really is a laser inside "the printer, and a little man to run it! They
allow us to do typesetting right here at school and we can also do our layouts on the screen."
Another new item was California transfer Regina Jenkins who made her way into the yearbook as a designer. She was responsible for the cover and also various designs throughout the book.
"Designing the cover was a lot of work but it worth it," Jenkins commented. Being new to East, Jenkins believed yearbook was a great way to meet people. And the Epic staff counted on two other transfers, Ami Elgert and Kim Curran, to help out.
"It was a lot of work and a lot of time, but it was also a lot of fun," commented Lynn Mumby. Lynn was editor-in-chief, and she had the final say.
"I wanted to be editor because I wanted the responsibility," she said.
But as the saying goes, "all work and no play makes yearbook a dull class", or something like that anyway. Editor Lynn Mumby kept this in mind as she planned out the class agenda, and she included
such things as the Secret Santa game, and a Christmas "cultural experience".
"The party was a lot of fun! People • really got creative with their gifts," said senior Kevin Erickson, holding up a pair of Garfield boxer shorts that he received.
Senior Kirsten Gonzales summed up her thoughts on this in one sentence: "It's a good way to get to know what's going on in the school, and to meet new people."

"Good night, Brad!"
"Good night, Sarah, Matt, Kristin!"
"See 'ya tomorrow, Mr. Schaffer!"-
These familiar goodbyes were often exchanged between members of the Oracle staff, much like you might hear in the household of the TV family, "The Waltons."
"We're just like one big family!" explained Sarah Digman.
Digman assumed the parental role as editor-in-chief. In doing this, she made decisions on any controversial issues which arose in the school's newspaper which came out once every two weeks.
The Oracle came out half as often as the year before, but was twice as long.
"I don't think that there's a lack of quality because I don't see nearly as many newspapers lying on the ground," •explained junior Brian Bates, a reporter on the staff.
In Digman's opinion, the change from a weekly paper to a bi-weekly was posttive.
"I think we put out better quality stories because there is more time for the editors to proofread their sections."
But Brad Bernthal, news editor of the Oracle, found fault wtth the frequency.
"At times I wish the paper could be issued weekly. In that way the news would remain current."
Besides for this setback, Brad felt the paper pulled ttself together well.
"I enjoy the pace and tone of the Oracle Staff Front Row : Tom Madden, Brian Bates, and Matt Woodward. Second Row: Jergen Ellingson, Toni Bush, Sarah Digman, Jack Macy, Kristin Ticknor, and Jodi Meints Third Row: Jane Raglin (student teacher), Carol Bride, Kris Strand, Heather Anderson, Monte Willis, Beth Lechtenberger, Brad Bernthal, Tim O'Hanlon, Gregg Peterson and advisor Jim Schaffer.

newspaper," Bernthal said.
This year, the Oracle staff lost a few, and gained a few. Kyle Luthans, an Oracle •·reporter, dropped the class at the end of the first semester in order to enroll in a beginning journalism class to sharpen his writing skills, and the staff's artist, Lane Van Ham had a schedule conflict.
"Lane's artwork and stories were really missed. He had a real talent for art and writing," explained Bernthal.
New members joining the staff second semester included sophomores Tom Madden and Heather Anderson plus juniors Matt Woodward and Beth Lechtenberger. -
When asked to comment on thier attitude toward the class, sophomore Tom Madden explained, "I really liked it a lot! I like the free time to write stories and the openness of the class. I had a good choice of stories to write."
Junior Matt Woodward added, "I've enjoyed it immensely because I enjoy writing, and the class gives me a chance to wrtte on a regular basis."
Pressure was a word that was reiterated time and time again. Constantly working with a two-week deadline created a considerable amount of pressure.
"I had to run a pretty tight schedule to fit everything in," explained junior Kristin Ticknor, focus editor. "With a two week span, it put pressure on people to get their work done with writing stories,
creating layouts, and careful overall editing. I really had to learn how to budget my time,"
But the staff was able to relax somewhat with the incorporation of the Macintosh Computer System, new to the Journalism Department this year. The unique system enabled editors to create their layouts on the computer screen, which saved a great deal of time. The Macintosh also provided a lot of the newspaper's artwork.
The best aspect of all was the team work the staff members shared. Together they brainstormed for ideas, planned the themes, and most importantly, worked together to put the paper out on time.
Senior Matt Walters, production editor, summed his year with the staff up ~ as, "The staff was enthusiastic and everyone put in overtime. That's a sign that the kids were enjoying what they were doing."
Jane Raglin, this year's Oracle student teacher, described her class. "The staff was a lively crew with a lot of potential, but tapping that potential was sometimes another thing. Overall I've had a lot of fun, especially in overcoming my hatred for the computer."
Well, goodnight Brad. Goodnight Sarah, Matt, Kristin. We'll see 'ya tomorrow, Mr. Schaffer. And goodnight to all the Oracle family.

really quite easy!"
When planning out their schedules for the next year, some students tried to take the easiest classes possible, while still fulfilling credit requirements. But some students looked for more of a challenge. They took advanced placement or honors classes.
There were three such classes offered at East: calculus, A.P. English, and micro and macro economics. All three classes could be used for credit at the university, although not all of the students planned to take advantage of that.
"I'll probably take calculus over again as a freshman," said senior Amanda Turner, "because any field I'm going to go into, I'm sure I'm going to need a very good understanding of the calculus concepts."
These classes were generally more difficult then regular clsases.
"I have to concentrate a lot harder, so I can understand everything," said Tim Dinkleman, a senior in the macro economics class.
Turner agreed. "I have more homework in calculus than I ever remember having in pre-cal."
However, the extra homework didn't seem to diminish enthusiasm for the classes.
"A.P. English if one of my favorite classes," said senior Stephanie Brown. "The fact that I have to try so hard makes it more interesting."

DECA? For students who weren't involved in the club, the question that first came to: mind was, 'what's DECA?' Well, DE:CA is a business club that students from Beginning Marketing, . Sales Promotion, Business Management, and Advanced Marketing classes joined.
"It's a good experience--it brings you in contact with businesses," said DECA member Mark Bartolome.
As in past years, DECA was in charge of the doughnut stand in the mornings. Their profits contributed to
the many different activities they were involved in.
One project DECA sponsored was the Anti-Vandalism campaign. The goal of the campaign was to make students more aware of the vandalism at East.
DECA competed in Districts and State. The competition consisted of written tests and role playing situations in different marketing areas.
DECA officers attended a state workshop in Kearney and the Central Region conference in Minneapolis.
They went to several different sessions to learn about the business world.
DECA officers included President: Angela White, VicePresident: Kristi Johnson, Secretary: Beth Trauernicht, Treasurer: Amy Weyand, Public Relations: Kirsten Gonzales and Liz Ogborn; Historian: Becky Thompson, Financial Enterpriser: Lindsey Miller, and Sponsor Deb Payne.

DECA 89
For many East students, speech and -debate went way beyond the classroom. As Tom Krause put it, "we traveled across the great Midwest to different tournaments."
PSAB has a budget for each school's travel. Unfortunately, the money often ran a little thin. Kristin Guild described the ups and downs of 'farming out'.
"We get into towns late at night and are shipped off the strange peoples houses," she said. It's not as bad as it sounds, though. Guild also claimed, "Sure it can be a bad experience, but you meet a lot of interesting people that way."
Both speech and debate required a lot of work outside of school.
"You'll always find people working in the speech and debate room after school," commented Heather Raikes.
Debater Matt Hinkley agreed about the amount of time required. "It takes a lot of research," he said, "I spent countless hours at the library."
The debate topic, agriculture, brought to light many different issues, from banning the use of insecticides to legalizing marijuana.
Speech also provides a wide range of opportunity for expression. Pablo Rodriquez and Tom Crew teamed up for duet acting.
"It's undescribable, it's the greatest thing, it's so fun!" Commented Tom Crew.
Deb Bacon describes one of the favorite events, after dinner speakino. as, "Just being able to go on about off the wall topics. The best part of speech though, is it gives me a chance to be obnoxious."

Business Club
For those students who were in any class related to business, there was a club for them, business club.
"Leading a group like Business Club helps give you the idea of what business is really like," said Suzie Wahl.
Along with Business Club being a social get together, everyone has similiar interests in the business world.
Community Service, Promoting achievement in business for members, contributing to the improvement of the school and helping to strengthen
personal development were the •four main goals of the club this year.
Continuing the theme from last year, "Bears mean Business." Business Club sold candy and cookies, worked at the concessions stand, and sold bear hugs at the annual sophomore BlueWhite night.
Officers for Business Club included President Suzie Wahl, VicePresident Dana Wilhem, Secretary Jennifer Barnes, and sponsor Mrs. Marshall.
"It's good for people going into business and it introduces the business world to them," commented Tricia Allen.

The dictionary defines a volunteer as 'one who enters into any service of his own free will.' Many seniors had a chance to make use of this definition when they completed part of their requirements for citizenship issues.
One of the requirements of the course was to complete a minimum of twenty hours of volunteer work at any establishment. Many students, however, did much more. Lisa Spomer, who worked with lights at the Lincoln Community Playhouse, finished up her time with a total of sixty-three hours.
There were a variety of options to choose from and students explored
them all. Work ranged from tutoring junior high students at school to being a weekend D.J. for a· local radio station. One [:)opular job was sponsoring a Y-pal.
"I like the freedom of choosing my own hours, and being with kids," commented Kristi Johnson. "It's very demanding time-wise, though. Mindy (Kristi's Y-pal) wants to be with me all the time."
Although some students, like senior Sarah Emery, did their volunteer work specifically for the credits, others simply received credits for work they would haye done anyway.
"I have worked at the Playhouse
before, and I really like working there," explained Spomer.
All in all, volunteering seemed to benefit everybody. It helped out people who needed it, and it taught the students about responsibility.

High school is usually considered a preparation for college, but for some students at East, the high school stepping stone is closer to the mainstream of life than most people realize .
To the MH (multiply handicapped) students, all of the skills they learned were essential to their existence-maybe unlike some of those irrevelant electives.
The basics started in the back classrooms of the 'D' wing. They worked at objectives such as personal hygiene and social skills. Outside of school, students ·vere 9iven a list of thing~ to find in a
grocery store and then returned to fix · some of their meals. • A new program, community work,
required the students to work in the community 1n job situations. Some of the places the students worked included Veterans Hospital, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Capital City Christian Church, and the Barkley Center While on duty, the tasks usually dealt with laundry and labeling.
Sid Lonyest, Assistant Director of Material Services, stated that "I've always worked with kids and I like having them •around, but these jobs are not just created
for this purpose, these are jobs that need to be done, and these kids are doing a lot of service. The staff enjoys them."
"They have the same feelings as you," stressed teacher Carol Phillips. "Everyone needs to be needed and wants to contribute · to the way the world works."

And Stuff
Drama Club helped students learn more about the theater, but there was much more to it. Students learned to show themselves in different perspectives, and demonstrate their remarkable talents.
Members were motivated to earn points to become members of the International Thespian Society (I.T.S). Members earned points in specific areas, such as working with ligl:lts, stage makeup , and backstage work. They aJso earned points for audience particip ation.
Other activities that Drama Club
participated in included sponsoring the Valentine's Day Turnabout dance.
Carol Scott, the sponsor of both Drama Club and I.T.S., said she never had a boring moment.
"It's always a little wild," explained Rebecca Palmer, senior member of both Drama Club and I.T.S.
I.T.S. members attended the state convention where they performed a one-act play. Seminars ~ere also held on subjects- iike juggling, puppetry, and sign language.
"The people at the convention were the best audience to perform in
front of," according to Palmer. "They all know what it's like to be up on that stage!"
East's one-act play, "And Stuff " was a big hit at the state competition, receiving a superior rating.
Officers of I .T.S. included President Jenn Cognard, VicePresident Rebecca Palmer, Secretary •Erica Birky, and Treasurer Cindy Bair.

Students expanded their horizons by getting involved. Many times clubs offered new and uncommon experiences-things such as competing in job situations (see related story page 88) and to traveling cross the world to study different cultures. All this involvement meant gaining new friends with related interests.
Many discovered that they were not alone in such unusual interests. It was the idea of being able to share n~w ideas and uncommon passions that kept everyone involved and 'on their toes'.
Not only being involved but being different was what students strived for. Gaining exceptional knowledge and new friends became just part of the common 'excellence' shared by all club members.
Once again, clubs and organizaions enabled students to become an uncommonly good group of people. •
Creating and belonging to clubs and organizations became not only a challenge, but an adventure for East students. With the addition of Bike Club and Student Executive Committee, students had over 20 different clubs to choose from.
Such a variety of clubs led to greater interest and student involvement.
"I like so many things and East has them all to offer," explained Rebecca Palmer, one of the most active members of the senior class ~ "Since the opportunities are there, I take them because the more you can get the better."
At some schools, students feel as though they don't have a say in anything that happens within the school, but that wasn't the case at East.
"Student Council gives students a chance to voice their opinions and contribute to their school and community. I'm glad to be involved with Student Council," explained Rebecca Palmer. Students had a choice of either running for Student Council or joining the Student Executive Council which included representatives from every school organization.
Student council consisted of thirtyeight members from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes plus sponsor Rudy Stoehr.
"The officers and members have done a lot throughout the year to accomplish many projects," said Stoehr.
Student Council
Over the years Stoehr has had a lot of patience and to keep the group together.
One of the many activities council participated in was selling of Spartan athletic T-shirts.
"The council has shown its school spirit," said Stoehr. One of the other activities was raising 23 flags at Veteran's Hospital in observance of Veteran's Day. At Thanksgiving they donated a food basket to the Malone Center, and they helped out with Blue-White night, held a party for handicapped students, celebrated Janitor Appreciation Week, and participated in student exchanges with other high schools.
For members it was a great way to get involved with the school. As Tom Krause put it, "It's more fun than a nose bleed!"
Out with the SAB (Student Advisory Board) and in with the Student Executive
Committee. Executive Committee was a new organization which consisted of a representative from each club.
"It's a good idea because it's not just a popularity contest for who gets on," said Dan Lundak, member of both Student Council and Executive Committee.
Different committees within the SEC included the public relations committee, which was in charge of Spring Day; the Social Committee, which was in charge of a dance; and the Government Committee, which developed the constitution.
The new committee worked very well and each club was able to know what was going on with the other clubs.
"The club structure was a great idea because more people were involved and each club could voice its opinion," said Rebecca Palmer.

A REVIVED YEAR! Over the past few years, the spirit of East High had always appeared to decline after the first couple months of the year. But the Spirit Club worked hard to bring back the spirit that had been lost over those years.
"We are more 0rganized this year, and the members of Spirit Club are willing to do more things," said club president Gayle Klameth.
The change in uniform was a key factor to the increase in membership. The traditional sweater was changed to a more comfortable sweatshirt.
"Spirit Club helps you get more involved witl) the activities within the school," said Krista Hiser, a sophomore member of Spirit Club. "It gives you an idea of how much work is done by the Cheerleaders and Apollonaires."
Some fund raisers done by Spirit Club included car washes and a bake sale.
They also planned Homecoming as~ one of their big projects.
"It was a big sucess and we made a lot of money," said Julie Siedband.
The big surprise was the addition of two members of a different gender-Matt Wickless and Ryan Garton.
"It's been real fun and I enjoy it," said Wickless. •

"A diverse group of people put together to become good friends, which helped each other through all the hard work that is expected of a varsity cheerleading squad." That was how Rebecca Palmer described the 1986-87 varsity cheerleade~s.
Even though to some people a cheerleader's job may seem simple, there was more to it than just jumping and screaming in front of crowds. There were door and locker signs to be made, car washes to make money, and of course, cheers~ chants, and pom-pon routines to be learne. And that was before school even began.
Also during the summer, the varsity squad headed for Missouri Valley College for more hard work at clinic.
"Clinic was exhausting, but well worth it-it breaks the ice between the squad members," said Palmer.
But the hard work paid off. At clinic the squad received •five blue ribbons, a suoer star award, a spirit stick and a
runnerup award in excellence.
Kristen Gutz was honored with the award of All American Cheerleader. Kirsten Gonzales was runnerup.
When school started, the activities really began to pile up.
"You take on a lot of responsibility being a cheerleader. It helps you grow up and budget your time wisely," said Michele Bartels;
In past years, it was known that the Apollonaires and cheerleaders didn't get along, but this year was c;lifferent.
"A lot of cheerleaders and Apollonaires are close friends, so it makes it easier to get along," observed Lisa Boohar.
And those fri~ndships within the squad • and good relations with other squads helped the varsity cheerleading squad have a very sucessful year.

Are These The Players? Varsity Cheerleaders dress up in football uniforms for the Halloween pep rally. The pep rally was filmed by Channel 10/11 news.
Need Help? Getting ready for another long
Spartans On Top At an unusual pep rally held at Gateway, reserve cheerleades Dawn Groh, Shannon ' Bushing, Kim Oswald, Carol Bride, and Jennifer Dyke perform their theme cheer.
Reserve cheerleaders First row: Shannon Bushing, Kim Oswald, and Dawn Groh. Second row: Jennifer Dyke, Christina Waller, and Carol Bride.
"Watch out! Don't fall." Christina Waller, a reserve cheerleader, remembered the thrill of hanging door signs for reserve players.
"We've had good experiences with our squad," said Jennifer Dyke, also a reserve cheerleader.
Throughout the summer and the school year the girls became close friends. They spent many hours together working on cheers, making signs and promoting school spirit.
Although cheerleading was very timeconsuming, Dawn Groh said, "It taught us responsibility for anything we did."
The reserve squad went to Northwest Missouri State for a clinic.
Bamp, Set, Spike That's the way the reserves like it, as the cheer goes. Kim Oswald shows her support for the r~rve volleyball team.
"Clinic was very tense-but a lot of fun!" said Waller.

If the Apollonaires had written an ad at the beginning of summer, this is how it would have read. Donna Wilson, four year sponsor of the group, moved to Kansasleaving a vacancy that wasn't filled until the beginning of the school year. Cindy Story, East High' s new art teacher, was the one to fill that spot.
Even though she had no experience in the area, she was willing to give it a try.
"We get along with her-it's just hard sometimes because she's never done anything like this before," commented Paula Reed, a senior member of the squad.
Even without a sponsor, the Apollonaires managed to bring home many blue ribbons, an all-around spirit award, two nominees and a "Celebrity" from a clinic they attended over the summer.
Michele Belford was chosen as "Celebrity" at the clinic. This prestigious
title was given to exceptional members of pom-pon squads.
1,, - "I was excited-it was such an honor. said Belford of her award. "I was happy to know all my hard wor~ had paid off."
Juniors Kade Kirkland and Jill Hammer were also nominated for the award.
As they were learning to work with their new sponsor, the Apollonaires and cheerleaders were also working wit~ each other. This unity was described by Michele Belford, who said "Apollonaires and cheerleaders don't compete-we work together to lift school spirit."
The twelve members of Apollonaires included Michele Belford, Amy Fuller, Tish Gade, Jill Hammer, Marty Hesseler, Karie Kirkland Tiffany Mullison, Liz Ogborn, Paula Re~d, Tricia Siefkes, Dina Townsend, and Gina Vitello.

For those students who were interested in going beyond the classroom stage of foreign languages, there were clubs for each language. Students could choose between Spanish, German, French, and International Clubs.
In December, people from French and Spanish club took a trip to Chicago. Before they left, the students spent time learning about French and Spanish art. While in Chicago, they visited art museums, and French and Spanish restaurants.
International Club sponsored an orphan.
"We supported a girl in Africa, and sent money each month for her food, clothing, and schooling," said Greg Ftzke, president of the International and German Clubs.
German Club rang bells at Christmas time for the Salvation Army. Some members also went to Worlds of Fun with the German exchange students who visited for two weeks at the beginning of the year.
"It gave us a chance to be with the German students and learn more about their language," said Lisa Boohar, who hosted one of the students.
Each club sold candy from different countries for their money-raising project. International Club also sponsored the Sadie Hawkins dance, and out of each admission they took fifty cents to give to the food bank.

It was people who made the year unique. Individuals created new looks, special personalities, and above all, a rising loyalty for the Spartan tradition.
Throughout the entire year, new students joined the crowd and some traveled great distances to become mighty Spartans. Once such Individual was Kim Wood.
•Wood traveled from New Jersey just days before second semester to join to become a student at East High.
"I like it here," she said. "The people don't hesitate to follow their own styles; they're very creative."
From across the world to just a jaunt around the corner, students came together and met at the crossroads of the "uncommon trail".
Meeting one another was goal shared by many. Every individual had his own goals and everyone had hts own styles.
It seemed as though each class developed an identifiable "style" for their class. Sophomores continued to slowly become involved in it all, while juniors helped lead the way Seniors stood alone and acted as role models in the day to day high school scene.
Administrators and staff joined to give the students an 'uncommonly good' education. With six National Merit Semi-Finalists and 102 members in National Honor Society, East continued an excellent academic reputation.

While most students were gasping for breath at the prospect of another long semester, three seniors breathed a sigh of relief. They were graduating at the end of first semester. The early graduates were: Kris Strohmyer, Scott Kamerzell, and Kristi Adema.
Kris Strohmyer planned to continue her schooling at UNL. When she was asked the all-familiar question of what her major was, she didn't know and planned to 'stick to the basics' She saw this as a way to get a head start on her college education.
Although most students live in fraternities, sororities, or dorms on campus, she did not plan to do so.
"I am going to live at home," she explained, "unless I decide to get an apartment somewhere."
Her parents agreed to the semester graduation. Kris said, "I think they are glad I'm doing it."
Scott Kamerzell's life at East was a short one. Kamerzell was only here one semester. Scott left Pius as a senior because he la<.;ked some religion
requirements Pius has a policy stating that if a student does not graduate after the senior year, then the student may not return.
He needed only three classes to meet graduation requirements. Last fall, he came to East ar,1d took five classes.
Unlike Strohmyer, he planned to earn some money and move to Florida with a friend in March
Kristi Adema didn't have an early graduation in her plans until her father was transferred to Sioux City , Iowa. Her parents wanted her at home, but she wanted to attend East. "So we compromised so I could be with my friends," said Adema.
She planned to attend Iowa State University. She was going to work with her father and go to school in the fall.
"I'm going to ease into the college life. I'm really not sure what I'm going to take," she explained.
When asked how her family and friends felt, she said, "My parents are , happy I'm coming home. My friends are sad, but they understand."

'It's
The sports teams at East had some exceptional talent , but who kept them all in order? The student managers, of course.
They had the responsibilty for recording all the informcltion the coaches and players would need for future reference. The managers also compiled statistics and charted games to help out. -
Football managers were Jason Orton, Doug Hunt, and Mike Akins. Jason said he enjoyed being manager because he got to meet a lot of people.
Volleyball had Paula Trauernicht and Tish Monson.
"I was the manager because I knew a lot of the players," Paula said . Cory Nevels and Bob Shipley were wrestling managers. Tarilyn Ochsner, Shannon Anderson, and Gretchen Wieker were the track managers, and the girls basketball managers were Lisa Antczak and Michelle Beckman.
Swimming had Denise McFarland and Angie Simons as managers.
"I would like to have tried out, but I have a physical defect and it makes me
unable to participate," said Denise. "Besides it also gives me some responsibility."
Boys basketball had Spencer Hilsabeck and Mike Akins as managers. When Spencer was asked how he was doing in managing, he replied, "I didn't know what I was doing at first, so it was kind of difficult to get into the swing of
things. But now I know , so it's pretty easy."
So if you thought being a manager was just fun and bus trips, it was much more than that.
Ready and waiting Giving support, Charlie Hanna and Spencer Hilsabeck proved to be two valuable assets f?r the varsity basketball team.

Is it my turn? Oracle editor Sarah Digman and feature writer Toni Bush attended a national journalism conference in Washington
On March 23-27 Toni Bush and Sarah Digman attended a Journalism conference and participated in many activities, workshops and discussions in Washington, D.C.
On their first night in Washington, they enjoyed an illuminated tour of the town and later that week they attended the theater.
Toni and Sarah met with their Senators and Representatives, attended a live press conference, toured a few of the newsrooms, and ate lunch at the National Press Club wliere Carl Sagan was the speaker. They also ate at the Pentagon where they learned about the media and the military.
"Basically what we'll be doing is going to press conferences and finding
out about how they're run," Digman said.
"We'll find out about formal press conferences, how they are conducted, and how Washington works," Bush said.
Bush was most excited about flying to Washington because she had never flown before.
,;I don't think there's just one thing I'm excited about. It's a great experience and I'm going to learn so many things that I'd probably wouldn't have learned otherwise," Digman said.
The Lincoln Journal and Joe Hampton sponsored them with the Journal giving $500 each and Hampton giving $75 for both together.
Bush and Digman were the only students from Lincoln who attended the conference.

Martin Spartan on Ice Designed for the Arts Alive program, th i s ice sculpture survived for several weeks in the courtyard
On a freezing Friday in January, Kathy Holmes stood in the courtyard with chainsaw in hand, and transformed two blocks of ice into a Spartan and a swan. The sculptures were made courtesy of the Arts Alive program and the Art department.
Holmes started making ice sculptures about five years ago, and now has swans, doves, dragons and a numberof Spartans to her credit.
To make an ice sculpture, she started with a three-hundred pound block of ice. She first marked it with a knife, then began to carve it freehand and with a chainsaw. Finally , she
finished up the detail work with chisels and chippers.
"The Spartan only took me two hours because I didn't put all the detail in like I usually do. If I was going to sell them, I'd do more detail," said Miss Holmes.
While some students enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather in midJanuary when temperatures soared into the sixties, unfortunately the sculptures met an early, soggy death . . But just like Frosty the Snowman, they'll be back again someday.

Both the Oracle and Epic publication staffs greeted the arrival of two new computers late in November with high hopes.
The school districts purchased two Macintosh pPlus computers plus as Laserwriter to enable publication staffs to go "high tech."
Stories had been typeset in the past on computers, but n_ow journalism students were designing the pages on Macintosh computers using a powerful Page maker program.
The computers produce cameraready copy and enhanced graphics to make the paper look more professional and make the process of preparing the paper more efficient.
"The layout goes twice as fast with the Macintoshes," commented Production Editor Matt Walter. "I also think that (the computers) make the paper look more professional."
The convenience and upgraded look should continue to improve as more of the Oracle staff learned how to manipulate the Macintosh computers and as Walters perfects the Oracle look.

Who needs new knees? "I do ," said many East students who hobbled or wheeled themselves down the halls
All were victims of a mysterious outbreak of knee injuries that swept through East like a tornado , leaving many in traction.
Superstitious minds suspected that the outbreak was due to a peculiar curse placed upon East, but more practical minds had different ideas.
" It's from too much exercise," explained sophomore Jamie Frederick as she hopped to class, supported by a friend "So many people at East are athletic."
Except for knee doctors, who relished the boon of patellar problems, were there any victims who looked on the bright side of the curse?
Perhaps. Senior Kim Smith boasted that her new ligament was "about 120 percent stronger than my old one."
Sports-related injuries included Smith's which sidelined her from the state basketball tournament, Tom Fox who missed a good deal of the football season, and Monte Willis and Mrs: Anne Barry, who required knee surgery after skiing injuries.

The cheerleading and Apollonaire squads had something very patriotic in common. Two varsity cheerleaders and one Apollonaire were chosen AllAmericans at their summer clinics.
Kirsten Gonzales, a varsity cheerleader, explained how she was selected for the award.
• "You were picked by your ability and the quality of your jumps," she said.
"The judges watched you, and after you were picked, you had to do a clinic entrance, one cheer, and a chant by yourself in front of the whole camp."
Kristin Gutz used her gymnastic talents to tumble in on her clinic entrance.
"Being flexible helps in jumps, too," she commented. After receiving her award, she decided that "hard work eventually pays off!"
They both received an All-American medal and certificate. Also, they were inviteq to ch~er ~t the Hula Bowl.
Though juniors Jill Hammer and Karie Kirkland were nominated, Michele Belford, a senior Apollonaire, was the only member of the squad to be chosen for the award. She was one of five selected from the entire camp.

East got quite a Bargen last fall, when Jed, a Kansas all-state basketball player, transferred to East. But what most people didn't realize that a second Bargen came along also, kind of a two for one deal, and that other Bargen was Kim.
Kim, a junior, played varsity volleyball and basketball last fall, but she said she didn't feel overshadowed because of her brother and his accomplishments.
"It didn't bother me because I think he deserves all the credit he gets ," commented Kim. "In Kansas I also played basketball behind the best player in the state."
Kim said she thinks that her 'time' will come; after all, Jed will be out of high school next fall.
As for the game of basketball, it was a bit of an adjustment for Kim to adapt ~o a different style of play.
"It's a faster-paced game," sfie
said. "At Buhler," the school she attended in Kansas, "we would get a lot of points off the press, and twrn we get a lot off the fast break."
Off the court, Kim has enjoyed the change in schools.
At East "we would aet a lot more choices of classes, and tt's more of a relaxed atmosphere," she said. She seemed to be adjusting well, by the looks of her report card--she earned straight ones.
Another example of the differences between schools was the protoc·o1 displayed at athletic events-especially basketball games. At Buhler students were not allowed to yell, or pick on the referees during the game. If you did, Kim said, "a principal would be right there to have a talk with you."

Skateboarding appeared to be a relatively new fad, but actually the sport had been around since the early sixties. Even though skating was still popular, however, it only attracted people who were very serious.
"I'm glad the kids who skate just because their friends do are getting out • of it," commented Marcus Zinsmaster. "The people who enjoy skating still do and don't care what others think."
Many think · there's no future in skating or money either but professional skaters like Christian Hosoi and Steve Cabellerro make close to $100,000 a year.
Up and Over Able to leap cars, if not tall buildings, Frank Vigil finds skateboarding an exciting way to let off steam.
Probably the most popular form of skating was street skating. Some of the many street tricks included ollies, grinds, boneless aerials, handplants, acid drops, wall walk, 540 slides and numerous other tricks.
Skating a half-pipe was also popular but do to a lack of ramps rnany people didn't skate them. Micheal Lansitie,a foreign exchange student from Finland, summed up many skaters' thoughts when he said, "to skate is good!"

Chaos, chaos, chaos! That's what the staff and students thought when East was broken into on Saturday, December 12 between 1 :00 and 5·:00 a.m.
The main item that was stolen was money--at least $1,700 in paper money and $250 in change was left scattered on the floor. Over $400 worth of stamps were taken. Fortunately a $300 Minolta camera was left behind.
When asked what kind of techniques were possibly used, Mr. Salestrom said, "It was definitely a professional job." Salestrom mentioned that the thieves had come through the concession stand, up the hall and through the ceiling in the main office where the safe was located. The doors on the safe, which weighed at least twohundred pounds each, had been wrenched off.
Damage included three file cabinets worth over $200 apiece which were destroyed, three doors costing over $200 each plus the safe damaged beyond repair. Total damage costs equaled $5,956. Unfortunately, there was no insurance coverage on any of the stolen items.

East High students simply dominated the 15th annual Senior High School Model Home and Presentation Drawing Contest on February 11.
In the Model Home division, Joe Sid and Kevin Sweeney picked up second and third place honors, respectively, while Mike Dierks, Doug Jellinek, and Dainis Tigeris were placed in the Honorable Mention category.
The presentation drawing section of the contest was swept by East students as Lee Handke, Scott Mabel, and Shawn Reeves took first, second, and third place awards, respectively. John Hayden and Leif Rudd were deemed honorable mention. In both divisions, the students were instructed by East High industrial arts teacher Rob Armagost.
Students began work on the models and the presentation boards about three weeks after school began, spending time on their projects during their two periods of Industrial Education each day, and also time out of class. This year's entries were due earlier than in past years, which was the reason that Armagost felt the "overall quality (of the entries) was down this year. When a student is rushed, the result is not as
The projects served as an excellent opportunity for students to hone their architGctural skills for a possible caree.r. The Models and the Presentation Drawings were "both ways of presenting a plan for a design to a client," said Armagost. In fact , a former East student who participated in the program assisted in some of the remodeling now taking place in the science area of the school.

Lane Van Ham has a special talent that not many students have. Van Ham, a junior, has his own time slot on the KZUM radio station.
Van Ham works there as a volunteer D.J. every Tuesday evening from 4:30 until 6:00 p.m. When asked what kind of music he plays, he answered, "I mainly play the folk and old rock--Billie Star music." He then added that he always gets to do the news reels.
Van Ham started as a duo with another junior, Carl Gibson. They worked together for about 3-4 months during the summer. The duo then split up when Gibson left his half of the partnership. After Gibson left his job, Van Ham got his own broadcasting license and continued as a solo.
Having his own radio show gives Van Ham a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. When asking for requests he usually gets quite a few and he sometimes gets an occasional letter from listeners.
• "Sometimes the station has pledge drives and each time slot is supposed to raise a certain amount of money, " he stated. He then added " It feels good to go over the quota that I am given."
When asked if this job interfered with his homework and other things in his life, he said, " It interferes a little butl have time between school and the time I've got to be to work so I get things done then so I can do other things when I'm done working."
Van Ham's parents give him support and they listen to him whenever he's on. They enjoy his talent with him. Although he's not going professional, as he says, he enjoys his teenage talent.

In 1906, the first voice was heard through radio, and now, 80 years later, radio provided entertainment and information for millions of people.
East students ranked their favorite FM stations as follows: KFRX(103) 50%, 292 22%, KZUM (99.3) 2%, and Sweet 98 (98.5) 1%.
"I'll listen to anything other than KFRX," senior Kate Sneddon commented. "They are trendy and stupid."
Tom Madden, sophomore, liked to listen to sweet 98 because they "play kind-of off-the-wall stuff."
Morning seemed to be a favorite time to listen music, with listening while driving a close second. Most students also confessed to "jammin" while doing their homework.
Radio headphones, clock radios,
-stereo systems, portable stereos, and Splash Dance radios (they are waterproof and hang in the shower) included, students claimed to have an average of ten radios per home.
"When I'm in the shower, it gives me something to sing to because I like to sing," said junior Susan Fussell.
As far as price range went, students paid from $50-500 for their systems, and most students (about 2/3) also had car stereos.
Radio has come a long way since 1906, and continued to be a growing market, despite the belief that when television became popular in the 1950's the radio industry would become obsolete.

Fifteen different Junior Achievement companies made a lot of different products by hand and sold them for good profits. In fact, the companies had made over $17,000 by January.
For the first few meetings JA companies got a good start on their organization and products. Various products produced during the year were copper trees, coasters, bulletin boards, fire starters, book shelves, and coupon holders.
A new sponsor had joined JA, Harris Labs, and sponsored a company that did very well in its first year. But what made Junior Achievement such a successful organization was the cooperation and team work among the members. JA products were also special in that they were all made by hand in accordance with strict safety and workmanship rules.
The JA companies ran for a total of 20 weeks and most goals had been surpassed by the tenth week. The JA

Mikael Lansitie. Does the name strike you as different? It should because Mikael was a foreign exchange from Finland.
Wondering how he got to be an exchange student?
"I looked in 1he newspaper," he explained. "They interview you, and you have to sign papers."
When questioned furthur he said, "Oh, what you do at home for fun, and what your parents do."
School is quite different in Finland. The periods are a short fortyfive minutes and you can have up to fifteen minute breaks.
"It's not the same everyday," Mikael said. "We have thirteen different subjects a semester."
Although Americans think the Big Mac is the way to go, Mikael said, "We don't eat a lot of fast foods, but a lot of soups!"
Mikael's interests were skateboarding and listening to music. Of the two, it was easy to figure out his favorite when he exclaimed, "Skateboard!"
When asked what was the hardest thing to adjust to, he answered, "It was • hard at school in the beginning because II didn't know anybody. But it's OK now."
Throughout the interview, Mikael commented on how much freedom he has in Finland. "It's more free, at school; and my parents are more free."
When given the choice of living in the United States or Europe he chose Europe, saying, "I know more people. It's my own country and all my friends are there."
Brace yourself! · One of his least favorite things in the U S proved to be Jolt Cola, which Mikael considered a fast food, not the way to go.

During the summer, do you want a way to sharpen your athletic skills you acquired iri the fall? Do you feel -the need to compete against others from around the state?· Do you want a ch~nce to meet others while having fun? A "'Solution to this problem may be the C9rnhusker State Games.
The Cornhusker State Games are Nebraska's version of the Olympics. In 1986 over 8,000 people from 78 counties were represented in this-three day event. Many students from East competed in the 28 different sports which included nine new events: volleyball, horseshoe pitching, basketball, chess, swimming, roller skating, table tennis, equestrian, and a triathalon.
Cornhusker State Games Michelle Atwood. a sophomore, waits patiently for a ball to come her way during the Comhusker State Games.
Michelle Atwood, a sophomore, played softball in the two-year-old event. "More people competed in them than I expected," she said. Her biggest highlight of the games was the opening ceremony.
Atwood believed the games will _ become more popular in years to come.
"People will get to know more about them and hear about them from. other people who have competed."
Darren Wright, a junior, wrestled in the Cornhusker State Games.
"You know the competition will be tough because the people are the best in the state." The games gave him "a chance to improve." He felt that he "strives" during the games.
Dave McBride, a member of the Nebraska Sports Council, said, "We were planning on eight sports and 1,500 competitors" in the beginning. "We • grew to 19 sports and some 4,000 comp~titors in our first year."
"We're to the point where nobody thought we'd be. It doesn't surprise me that we have this many people taking interest. It does surprise me that we've reached this level so quickly.

Many students obtained their first jobs as sophomores, and as a change from babysitting and fast-food jobs , several opted to spend 15 hours a week conducting phone interviews for · SRI (Selection Research Inc.)
Michele Beamer, Stefani Seaman, Michele Smith, Anne Erickson, and Debbie Sharpee were a few employees of SRI, and did telephone surveys throughout the country for major
companies and businesses.
According to Beamer, each survey could take anywhere from one minute to half an hour, •and they were given a certain amount of surveys to complete during their working hours. Salary was determined by how many surveys had been completed by the end of the day.
"There was no maximum pay," said Stefani Seaman," you were
guaranteed minimum wage, but the most I've made is $12 an hour :"
It was sometimes hard to meet your quota because people wouldn't answer the surveys. Seaman said that some people wouldn't answer the ~urveys and sometimes she found out "how rude adults can be."
To get a job at SRI, Smith explained that rshe had to go through two evening training sessions and also had to complete a phone interview.
"The people who get the job," added Beamer, "are one out of every 40 who interviewed."
Smith said that she had learned a lot by working at SRI.
"It taught me to have a lot of patience with people," she said. She said she enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to meet many different kinds of people.

It wasn't easy for sophomore newcomers from Culler, Lefler, Pound, and Lincoln Lutheran to walk in the first day and find their locker and first period classes.
Most sophomore said it took awhile to get around and they would sometimes walk in circles upstairs trying to find their lockers.
Cathy Nelson, a sophomore from Lefler, said, "The people who came from East Jr. High have a harder time accepting the "newcomers" but most people are really nice."
"East has been an eye-opener for me," said Stacey Shirk, a sophomore from Lincoln Lutheran
Ex-Lefler student Travis Schneckloth said, "East starts too early compared to a nine o'clock first period at Lefler."
Tracy Colin and Juli Durst, both from Pound, agreed that it was great to have
open campus, more extracurricular activities and more people to "hang around with."
On the other hand, Denise McFarland from Culler said it was easy for her to get around since both her brother and sister had gone to East.
These sophs agreed that not needing passes Was a "privileged" freedom.
Some •dislikes of the school by the "newcomers" were the class meetings, announcements, and the "so-called" bells.
"Class meetings are a waste of time," commented Cathy Nelson.
"The beils aren't bells-they're tones," noted Juli Durst.
"Announcements are also a waste of time because the class is so loud you can't hear them," stated Tracy Colin.

Cars were, and will continue to be, an important part of high school students' lives. Other than merely a means of transportation , cars express the personalities of their owners. And just as in peoplQ, many different features can contribute to the makeup of a unique car. So let's take a look back at some cars of real character: the biggest, oldest, strangest, and ugliest cars East High had to offer in 1987.'
If it was size you asked for in a car, junior John Janovy and his light blue 1973 Ford Grand Torino station wagon-all 18 feet, six inches of it--would have been glad to cater to your needs. "If I get hit, I know I'm not going to die!" Janovy chuckled. His auto is affectionately nicknamed 'the Blue Bomb.' "I like the power of a large automobile," Janovy added.
The oldest car at East in 1987 was definitely a classic: junior Kent Lepard's 1957 Chevy. A pink '57, no less "More or less, that's what I was given to drive , but I enjoy driving it," Lepard said. But what's it like driving a thirty year old pink
Chevy? "People give me strange looks," was all Kent had to say on the matter.
Strange cars were the pride of many East students, including senior Dan Ostdick. A spanish gold 1974 Chevy 1/2-ton pickup may not seem odd, but it does have a bright purple front bumper. Why? "The gold and purple Chevy is East tradition," said Ost dick, ref erring to his brother who drove the truck to East before Dan "inherited" it. "One night my brother and I decided to paint the bumper purple as a joke, and it's been that way ever since," Ostdick explained. Ostdick once had an accident in the truck, and the repair shop wanted to replace the purple with chrome. "I wouldn't let them," Ostdick said forcefully. So the · bumper •triumphantly returned, more purple than ever.
Last, but certainly not least, are the cars that were classy in their own special way. Cars that were set apart by appearance alone Cars that proudly displayed "No, this is NOT abandoned!"
bumper stickers Several East cars proved, that in cars as well as in other things , beauty is in the eye of the b eholder (or owner!). Sporting a "What the hell.--it runs!" bumper sticker, an orange and green 1974 Datsun 710 provided transportation for senior Monte Willis. "I [absolutely love my car!" Willis exclaimed. "Besides , people know me wherever I go because of it!"
Another car, condemned as ugly by its owner, was senior Doug Jelinek's 1964 Chevy Stepside truck. Its color? "White, primer, and rust!" Jelinek said. He seemed to have fun driving the truck, despite its appearance. "I have nightmares every night about whether it will start the next morning. I live on the edge," Jelinek concluded.
1987 was a year full of unique autos which graced the East parking lot with their originality, and all were living testaments to the fact that it wasn't what you drove that mattered, it's how you drove it. And how much you loved it.

Not everyone in school knew the new teachers. Occasionally you would walk by a faculty member in the hall and wonder . .".just who is that?
This year Del Whitman joined the staff as a music teacher. His classes include Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Band.
"I enjoyed high school myself," he said, reflecting for a moment. "I enjoy working with the talent and enthusiasm high school groups have."
One would think a person in his position, suddenly with new time demands would regret having less time for his own personal music practice. Mr. Whitman answered this, though, saying,
"I have no regrets-I love my job."
Despite being fairly young, Mr. Witman has had quite a bit of musical background. He has played the cello for 14 years and the piano for 16 years. Also, he has had experience playing the tuba and bassoon. He hopes someday

The first year of teaching is · known infamously for being the most difficult.
"It could've been a very difficult · year," he said. "It hasn't been (difficult) because of first, the attitudes and support from the members of band orchestra and jazz band, and second, support from the faculty and administration, and thirdly, the support from parents."
Finally when asked about his hopes or wishes he answered:
"I desire that students by taking music will learn something more about life--what life is about--and also learn more about themselves."

A conversation with Shirley Doan will clearly show that she admires a brilliant mind. On December 10 after more than thirty years in teaching, Mrs . Doan resigned her position as head of the English Department and East lost one of its most brilliant minds
After teaching at numerous schools and levels of education , Doan certainly qualified as an expert teacher, but she was wary of giving advice to others . "To give advice is to presume you know all the answers, and I don 't think I do."
Doan was we tl-respected for her wealth of knowledge. Anne WalkerBarry , who team-taught with Doan , was especially appreciative of "her knowledge in , literature and composition." While learning about the things she taught, she also learned about getting along with people.
Doan, in her years at East, enjoyed seeing students learning and at play , and watching them improve and benefit directly from teaching.
"c12ZSIJil !pate s$1urned this feeling.
seemed to care a lot." Sophomore Jeanne Frey voiced the opinion of many students by stating simply, "I love her."
Doan received a bachelor's degree in education, a master of arts in English, a Ph.D in secondary education, and postgraduate degrees in literature and music. She originally studied music , foreign language, and philosophy in addition to English and education. She chose teaching as a career because of the limited music opportunities and the many teaching positions available in LincolrJ.
Doan planned to pursue ma ny interests after leaving East. She planned to contribute to the community as a volunteer and to the lives of her friends as well as play golf and bridge, and be active in an investment club.
Jim Holechek, who had known Mrs.
Doan for 18 years, said that her retirement would cause East to lose 1:9ne of the best teachers we've had fti,ce this school opened. The world Ji••·,nany females and a few ladies. Mrs. 'ic>lh is a lady."

If the words "teachers and students" were mentioned together, what would you have thought of? Most students probably would have thought of · dictators and slaves--respectively. But, in many cases, this comparison was not true.
Actually, most students felt teachers were rather friendly and there to help them.
"They try to help you and give you advice when they can," said Heather Anderson, an East sophomore.
Jenny Thomason, also a
sophomore, commented, "If you have questions.they answerthem."
Another sophomore, Stacey Shirk, added , "they care about each individual in the class and are concerned about their achievements."
Most students also felt at ease around their teachers:
"I feel the teachers at East like to be friends with students. Students feel they can talk to their teachers about things happening in their lives ," said Tonia Sandell, "Also, people feel more comfortable going in for extra help. Too bad all teachers aren't like that."
Most students expressed the opinion of liking teachers who were friendly, funny, and easy-going.
The way a student viewed a teacher was not all that different from the way teachers saw students. One teacher, Ms. Marshall, felt the teacher
was the one to guide the student who was in school to learn. She also felt that friendship entered into the picture.
• Ms. Marshall said she enjoyed teaching students who were "receptive to new ideas, organized, and conscientious about doing their assignments."
One teacher who viewed the student-teacher relationship differently was Mr. Pierce. He felt it was more of a parent-child relationship, with the 'child' often not knowing how to do anything.
All in all, it seemed that East students and teachers got along fairly well, and Frank Vigil spoke for many when he said, "I feel there is a good relationship between students and teachers."

Gummers, anklebiters, and freshmen came together to form a unique group of students known as East Junior Highers.
Despite their differences, one thing they all had in cor,,mon was their true East spirit.
"My friends and I went to all the varsity football games," said ninth grader Steve Kahdahl. "It's our team, too."
The junior high students felt like they belonged with the senior h igh. Even when asked about separating the junior and senior high yearbooks , despite the much higher price of a normal Epic, they still preferred to be together.
Eighth grader Dawn Dvorak commented , "We're all in the same school and it wouldn't be right to be separated."
Dragging themselves out of bed each morning was one of the hard tasks taken on by students, but once in school, seeing friends of all sorts seemed to be a just reward.
"They're such great friends," added ninth grader Matt Spethman "I can talk to them about anything."
Although school wasn't on the top of their list for fun things to do, students were glad that they could be a part of East.
As in all schools, or anywhere else for that matter, rivalries occurred. Starting from the ninth grade, some felt that the seventh and eighth graders were "immature", and they stressed the fact that seventh graders were "only gummers."
The seventh graders felt they took about the most ribbing, though being "little gummers" was something everyone had experienced once.
As seventh grader Scott Martian put it, "They were all once gummers, too "
Eighth grader Julie Bonnett added, "Of course there are rivalries, but they aren't major."
This feeling was shared by many, and with the true blue spirit, anything could be accomplished. True East spirit was what junior highers did all have in common.

Lincoln may not have been at the center of everything but it was certainly in the center of everything and that made long-distance travel difficulty sometimes. But several East students overcame that obstacle, either in transferring to East or traveling abroad.
Aussie transfers to East
Rachel Sibraa wasn't the only new student at East but she did come from the farthest place. She moved here from Sydney, Australia, population about five million
Sibraa said she loved Lincoln and she found the people to be very friendly. She moved here because her dad was doing surgery at the Dental School at UNL. She planned to stay for four more years, so she would graduate here.
The schools in Australia aren't at all the same as American schools, Sibraa said. She said the teachers are strict, and students have to wear uniforms.
A few of the places that Rachel visited in the U.S. includes Denver and Los Angeles where she visited Disneyland and Universal Studios.
Rachel said Australians love film stars Molly Ringwald, and Tom Cruise. She added that the more popular singing groups in Australia were Kids in the Kitchen, the Venetians, and INXS. She added that the Australians do like Madonna, and that the once popular Australian group, Men at Work, was not as popular as it once was a few years back.

Kangaroos, Koala bears , the America's Cup, nude beaches, and funny accents--these were what Dawn Dvorak found in Australia over her Christmas vacation.
Christmas was different, of course, because December in Australia is summertime. Dawn said she ended up going swimming after turkey dinner.
The most amaz1ng thing about Australia, however, according to Dawn are the unique animals Australia is famous for. If you make it to Koala Park, you'll see it all--kangaroos, koala bears, emus and wombats.
EVeryone in Dawn's family made a concerted effort to have their picture taken with a koala.
Beaches, beaches, beaches--there were a lot of them! Bondi and Manly are both public. Manly has waterslides and a shopping center while Bondi is the famous one. The nude beaches, Dawn said, you can't forget, and there were plenty of them.
Terms like "G'day", "Fain Dinkin", and "Down Under" are popular, meaning "Hi", "true blue", and another name for Australia, respectively.
Looking for true Australian art? Look for Ken Done. He's a comical artist who draws "touristy" things like Koala Bears, but also draws things for the "untouristy" people on posters, cups, shirts, bags, calendars, greeting cards, and stickers.

Many people dream about seeing the world. But for most people, it was only a dream Not true, however, for • Ashesh Bastani.
Ashesh's family, which originally came from India, has traveled back there for vacation six times.
Ashesh's family returns to India because of all the relatives they have there including grandmas and cousins.
" • Over " the Christmas vacation Ashesh's family went to India once again. They traveled to the city of Bombay. While there they spent sometime with Ashesh's uncle who works at a boat yard in the control tower.
According to Ashesh, ther eare many differences between India and the U.S.--the clothes and the climate, for example. One thing that is very different about India is the tremendous poverty.
"Many of the people I saw in the streets and elsewhere were living on the lowest terms possible," she said.
There are some similarities, however. For instance, they have a fast food chain called "Venky's" that will overcharge you for a very greasy chickenburger. However, Ashesh says, "Venky's has good milkshakes, but that's about all."
Although Ashesh's family's luggage got lost and she got sick and ' threw up, she said that she had a good time and would like to go back again.

Junior High plays
The yearly junior plays were performed to sell-out crowds on Feb. 5 and 6. About 60 people auditioned for the three half-hour plays and 35 received parts.
Director Carol Scott said she was very pleased with the turn out for auditions. She thought that "there was a good spread of all three grades."
There were two comedies--Greater Tuna and Willie Velvet, Homicide Detective. The third play , The Potman Spoke Sooth, was a mystery. There were two senior directors for each play
Willie Velvet was about a radio station except "this station is normal, not so chaotic," explained Ms. Scott. "This play is like a play within a play: There's a sound effects girl in the corner and she makes the sounds you hear on the radio. But here you can see how they make the noises."
The Potman Spoke Sooth was a mystery - where the butler spoke the truth. This play was more confusing than the others. It took place in an
English home with a stuffy middle aged couple.
There's a peanut murderer who leaves peanut shells beside each body.
Ms. Scott says the play has a crazy ending.
By Ashesh Bastani Brown Bag Chorus
For those who liked to sing, but didn't have the time, Mrs . Schultz developed an unusual singing group called the Brown bag chorus.
The chorus consisted of people who got together to make music during first lunch, 11 :05-11 :20, on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday every week.
Brown bag chorus was first intended for seventh grade block students so they could continue singing. It then expanded to anyone in junior high who wanted to sing.
Brown bag chorus stopped and then resumed at the begining of secound semester.

The math students in Miss Penner's 7th, 8th, and 9th grade classes made a real impact at the annual math contest in Omaha on Oct. 30. The 9th graders placed first, the 7th graders finished second, and the 8th - graders placed fourth.
Twenty-four East math students in all took part in the competition. The eight students in each grade were split up into two groups--team one and team two. Fourteen schools participated in all.
Once the groups were established, they took a 100 problem test. After the tests were handed in and the scores were recorded, the results were given.
Kara Alexander had this to say about the contest, " It was hard. I hope we do better next year."
Melissa Chen of the seventh grade team said, "It was challenging."
Samir Saxena of ninth grade said, "I thought that the team did pretty well."

The Junior High Student Council accomplished numerous things for the school and in particular, the 18-member council helped out with many fund raisers.
The junior and senior high student councils used a "joint effort" to donate a food basket to the Malone Food Bank for Thanksgiving. The Junior High Student Council also worked hard on a can drive over the Winter Season. The proceeds went to a several local charities.
Besides fund raising activities, the Student Council was also involved in sponsoring dances.
This year's dances were a new experience. For the first two Fall Dances, two 9th graders D.J.'d for them. Those two students, Kevin · Pond and John Lefler, were a great success. Then as the year proceeded, there were three more dances: one in February, the 7th and 8th grade Lock-in, and 9th grade Promotion • This year's members were greeted by a new sponsor--Richard Petri, who replaced last year's sponsor,
Laurie Hovendick. The members who served as representatives for the '86'87 term were seventh graders Heather Babcock, Buzz Grahm, Gigi Haase, Greg Lundstrom, Liz Ring, and Andy Wickless.
Eighth grade members included Brett Koenig, Staci Kurtzer, Ann Larsen, Kara Martin, Cam Sneddon, and Andrea Tropp.
Ninth graders were Missy Davis, Jim Hall, Jason Hellman, Barb Macy, Jaime Norden, and Kara-Jean Scott.
Red Cross itself has provided service for the world, during different wars, and towns in trouble. And it was also a club found in eight different schools in Lincoln.
Its purpose was to provide service for the community and schools. Mrs. Shuster, one of the club sponsors, said that club activities included sponsoring a dance and giving a Halloween party for a day care center.
"I think tt's a good idea to have a
Red Cross Club," she said.
• "It's a place where you can make new friends," said Andrew Stratton, a member of Red Cross. Red Cross truly was a place to make friends.

The East Junior High heavyweight football team ended an excellent season with a 5-1 record and a first place finish in the city.
"We've left our mark, and all those teams we played will remember us," stated Jason Hellman, quarterback and safety for the team.
The team consisted of Coaches Chuck Squier (backs and line), Tom Baker (offensive line and defensive coordinator), and Tom Focht (receivers and defensive backs).
The players from East were Jason Hellman, Matt Fedde, Pat Booth, Matt Spethman, Eric Hoke, Andy Lapin, Chris Phillips, Cody Harlan, Dan Poteet, Mike Olson, and Jeff Bauman. There were also many players from other schools.
About playing with guys from other schools, Hellman said, "We got along really welHhose guys were great."
"The coaches told us at the beginning of the year that we were only twenty-two players, and not one team," explained Pat Booth, a defensive lineman and center. "Then a certain incident brought us together as team, and all the competition was gone."
As for the coaching, the players were full of praise.
"Coach Focht pulled us together," said Hellman. "Coach Squier kept us disciplined," added Booth, and "Coach Baker kept you in lov·e with the game," said Matt Fedde, an offensive lineman.
The coaches helped the team off to a good start, but what about the players?
"We had a very strong defensive line, " commented Booth, and Eric Hoke, a linebacker and halfback added, "We had great linebackers, and a very strong defensive backfield."
They did have a good defense, with only 46 points scored against them in six games.

The freshman varsity boys basketball got off to a slow start with two wins and two losses in their first four games.
Starter Jason Hellman said, "We got off to a slow start but I don't think we will lose again until the tournament.

The boys varsity team included starters Jason Hellman, Jeff perdew, Cody Harlan, Jeff Bauman, and Matt Spethman
They also had a strong bench with Mike Agena, Mike Behrens, Charlie Larson, Brett Zimmerman, Cam Moeller, John Eisenbraun, and Eric Hoke

Boards--whether they were skateboards or keyboards-kept Brent Wilcox busy and many other students entertained.
Wilcox was very involved with skateboarding through the Wiltin Skate Company, which he founded along with Poncho Martin. The company specialized in customizing skateboards Some of their best graphics included a Black Beret, Psycho, and the Hard Cone Skater
Wilcox even designed a skateboard of f iberglass, foam, a core, and steel support. He gave it his very own graphic , Stewee
"Skating with Jason McClane (a former pro) is what really got me started ," explaiend Wilcox. Together with Aaron Hunter , the Wiltin Skate Company also published a magazine called Quash Boy for skateboards.
"It will be humorous, and there will be ads for decks, stickers, and shirts made by Wiltin Skates," he said.
Wilcox also played keyboard for a band called the The Shades. Shades members included Kevin Pond on guitar, Tyler Pearson on bass, John Lefler on drums, and Bryon Amend singing lead.
"The band first got together in April," explained Pond. "I wanted to play in a band and play my guitar."
They practiced about once a week--"just five guys who like to rock," said Lefler.
The band hoped to play for several school dances, and "perhaps we can have a tape out for promotion ," Lefler added.

In November workmen began remodeling the library and the AudioVisual room to make way for a new computer lab. By January the lab ·had opened for student use, equipped with nine Apple 11-C computers. In February, the lab switched over to Apple 11 GS machines, the latest in micro-computer technology.
Almost as soon a·s it was open, teachers began sending students into the lab to work on projects and reports. This also freed the individual office computers in each department and the
computers of the old lab in a math roorn for: more use.
Teacher assistants were assigned to the new lab each period to help insruct, io maintain the equipment, and to keep a sense of order while the lab was open. The assistants were taught a working knowledge of programming as well as basic care and maintenance.
One student who didn't need rnuch help on the computer was ninth grader Randall Vance who won an IBM pc Jr. computer in a contest sponsored by AKSARBEN. Vance. woo,,filst place,

wmriing project was a program he had written for a computercontrolled spinkler system. He had entered his program at a 4-H contest early in the fall where he won $3 and a ribbon. He then made several revisions to sharpen tt,e program for the AKSARBEN contest on Sept. 20.
"I'm glad it's over," Vance said after the contest, referring to the hoursof work he had devoted to the program; "but it was worth the effort."

"Most ef ,too time it's · really neat to have a twin, but sometimes it'd be better to have an older or younger sister," said Criss Worster, a twin .
Junior High students had to sort out six different sets of twins, two in each grade. Ninth grade twins included the Behrens, Mike and Mark, plus the Worsters, Criss and Cindy. Eighth graders were the Mahrous brothers, Tamer and Tarek, and the Wysong sisters, Elizabeth and Megan. Seventh grade twins were the Longes, Heidi and Holli, and the Musiels, Jason and Jennifer.
Elizxabeht Wysong said that she and her twin Megan didn't share clothes because people might get them mixed up. Elizabeth was older by seven minutes.
Jennifer Musiel said she would rather be the oldest in he r family; brother Jason was older by one minute. And the Worsters were only one minute apart, too, with Criss being the older.

One hundred percent pure. ,.balffii.: ,,.~S' - what school -hamburgers were made of ; d , r eseae-m:t:; opinions to the contrary expressed by students w'-18· :wondered what that "mystery meat" might be.
Actually students had a wide range of excellent food to choose from each day. They could select a Type-A meal which included a main dish, two vegetables or two salads or one of each, milk and bread. Or they· could choose a combo lunch where they substituted ice cream for a vegetable or salad. Students could also select their lunch item by item under the ala carte plan.
Fresh food arrived once a week. The school cooks prepared over 30 different entrees including cheeseburgers, pizza, taco salads, seafood au gratin, and of course, the traditional turkey dinners before holidays. They made runzas, cinnamon rolls, french bread, cookies, and cakes from scratch. Only pizza, fiestadas, and burritoes were pre-cooked.
One change in the cafeteria was the addition of a third door in the entrance way. The purpose of the door was to separate students who wished to buy Type-A lunches from those who wanted an ala carte order.
"We had that door put in to keep the students in line," explained Mrs. Jo Schwalm, the cafeteria manager. "That way, if you only need a few things, you won't have to get through everybody."

"The new journalism dark room had been com in g along great until the revolving door wouldn 't fit," commented Jim Schaffer, journalism teacher
Library remodeling for the sake of a new computer lab caused the old journalism darkroom to be re located. The darkroom was moved to an area in the journal ism office and equipped w ith a special revolving door that proved to delight junior high journalism students.
The door allowed students to enter and leave the darkroom without disturbing any developing or printing that might be going on inside.
But the revolving door wouldn't fit through the classroom door. Schaffer said the workman had to disassemble the door before they could move it into place. While students were waiting for the door to arrive , they installed a temporary cover made from a silo tarp over the opening to the darkroom.
The new darkroom could accomodate four to six students at a time and was located adjacent to the journalism classroom.

Car collections aren't just for adults. At the age of 13, 7th grader Jon Jamison has 34 model cars.
Jon began collecting model cars in the summer when he was 12. He found three model cars in the basement of their house. They had been saved from a fire that his dad had be~n in. The cars he found were a '59 Chevy, a '59 Mercury , and a '59 Corvette. The cars had been damaged a little, and it took some restoring to get them to look nice again.
Jon gets most of his model cars from Hobby Town.
"They are expensive, but they have the best selection," says Jon. Most of his models are GM's.
The cars cost between six and seven dollars for a 1:25 scale. The biggest model he has is a '57 Thunderbird, 1:16 scale, and a 817 Thunder plane.
Jon enters his model cars in Hobby Town shows which are held twice a year. Hobby Town is the only place in Lincoln that sponsors model car shows. Hip trophies include four "best of show" awards, plus two 1st places, a 2nd, two 3rds, and a 5th. Jon has also gotten two 2nd's in building dioramas.
Jon's favorite model car is a '57 Thunderbird. His ultimate goal is to finish building a motorized Model T. Some of the pieces are missing so he has to make them himself.
By Dawn Dvorak and Darcy Silver
Jon's dazzling array of models includes a 1964 Chevrolet Impala, a 1949 Ford, a 1953 Corvette, and 1957 Thunderbird, and various other motors displayed in front

Gigi Haase is three in one: a dancer, a model, and a student council member.
Gigi began dancing when she was two years old. She is now dancing for the Dance Institute. She dances twice a week specializing in jazz, tap, ballet, and point. Gigi also assists with two dance classes.
Much of Gigi's modeling is done through the Gateway trend board. She had to try out for the board last summer. There were two tryouts. At the first tryout, there were 100 people picked from over 1500 across the state. Finally 50 were chosen from the 100 during a second tryout. Gigi made it.
On the Gateway trend board she receives make~.up lessons, dance lessons, and hair styling classes. Then, Grgi receives instructions about the store where she will be modeling or the show where she will be dancing About two weeks before the show, they start practicing. There is a show _ about every other month. After about six months, it's time to try out again.
At the begining of the year, Gigi was elected to be on the student council along with William Grahm, Liz Ring, Andy Wickless, Greg Lundstrom, and Heather Babcock. "Student council is fun and I enjoy it," says Gigi.
Dressed to klll, Gigi Haase was at home with tap, jazz, ballet or point dancing.

With the opening of many new businesses surrounding the East High area, students made discoveries from eateries to fashion outlets.
Fulfilling everyd a y needs as well as luxuries kept local retailers busy.
Popcorn seemed to make a big comeback. Although popcorn never really 'went out', specialty stores increased and now specialized in one kind of food. Among such stores were Colby Ridge, located in the newly constructed Meridian Park, Vic's, and the Original Corn Popper.
As time passes, one tradition remaines-senior pictures. Over one dozen photographers , old and new to Lincoln, welcomed seniors for their ever popular senior portraits.
Businesses also invited teenage students to join the work fo r ce. Instead of the more common jobs such as fast food and grocery outlets, some students were moving up to fashion and department stores.
Through tough economic times and frequent price hikes students learned early about setting up a budget and saving a buck or two. Whether it was a cheap lunch, cheap clothes, or cheap dates, students were finding 'uncommonly good' ways to save their dough.
But given the fact that prices were higher and times kept getting tougher, students managed to still have fun and main t ain their 'uncommon happiness'.

Americans kept smiling despite many problems that arose throughout the year. Learning to 'grin and bear it' was a key phrase. But it wasn't all bad. Victories in sports and various achievements led to great celebrations.
New opinions were formed with the election of Governor Kay Orr. The votes were close with Helen Boosalis leading in the beginning but the tables turned quickiy for Orr. Nebraska also made history by being the first state to have two women candidates running for governor at once.
In the November election, a surprising vote repealed Nebraska'a safety belt law.
Although seat belts were not enforced, many people still wore them, making it a good habit. For new car buyers the look of the future and safety was definately in. The development of the third brakelight was developed and required in all new cars. This added feature was used to help avoid rear-end collisions.
Lack of safety in the skies led to many fat al and near fat al mid-air collisions. In a Los Angeles suburb on August 31, a collision occurred killing all 67 on board and 15 people on the ground. As of February, new and better detectors, and several more flight operators were put into use.
The death of famous pianist Liberace shocked the nation. It was the circumstances contributing to his death that stunned everyone--the deadly virus AIDS. It was a reminder of just how deadly and widespread the disease was.
With the increased spread of the deadly virus AIDS, advertising was
changing. Condom advertising was slowly creeping into the eyes of our nation's viewers--first in magazine's and newspaper's, with negotiations in television. An Oracle staff editorial which proposed accepting tasteful ads for condoms caused considerable controversy among parents and staff members. Several letters to the newspaper were critical of the decision and in April, the principals from the high schools met to set a policy on condom advertising.
Victories by many Americans caused great celebrations throughout the year. Gracefully sailing ahead of Australia was the American captain Dennis Connor and his crew. It will be another three years before Australia gets a chance at the America's Cup.
The Nebraska Basketball team and new coach Danny Nee deserved a good pat on the back for making it to the N.I.T. tournament in New York. Despite a disappointing loss to Southern Mississippi, Nebraskans were impressed by a job well done.
Another American made history by becoming the first from his country to win the Tour de France. Greg LeMond rode the pathways of the toughest, most exhausting bike race in the world to take the title.
Little 'Baby M' did not have a name until early April after a long and emotional trial. It was Mary Beth Whitehead who, after signing letters of legal consent for a surrogate parentage, tried to regain custody of the child. Whitehead lost her fight to the natural father and his wife, the Stern's, after a full year in the courtroom. The surrogate mother later
intended to appeal the decision.
While Bruce Springsteen was releasing his double live album full of 'all the greatest hits', it was Steve Winwood who received the top album of the year award.
The Soul Train created the first awards for new and outstanding soul musicians. Three men made a great debuton the soul charts: Freddie Jackson, Luther Vandross, and Gregory Abbott.
But not everything landed on a happy note. The television mini-series 'Amerikai gave us ideas about what really could happen in a Russian takeover, and Lt Oliver North showed us how easy it was to sell weapons. Lt. North resigned after rumors claimed that he sold weapons to aid the Contras in Nicaragua. Many unanswered questions remained.
9,ongratl!lations was earned by Corazon Aquino, Philippine President. She was named woman of the year because of the changes she brought to her country.
And the comment of the year? Simply "No comment."
It was an interesting year, and maybe not all so enjoyable. But the good things that happened kept the nation grinning ear to ear with remarkable determination to keep going. It was the bad things they remembered, but the good things that kept everyone happy.
By Lynn Mumby
Three Fav's Three names and faces that became very familiar to everyone was Gorbachev, Lt. Oliver North, and Corazon Aquino. Each made numerous headlines throughout the year.

Something's Fishy Here Celebrating the end of a 'fishy' year are Sandy Makovicka and Nikki Stricker enjoying the beautiful weather at Gateway
Time passed quickly as students demonstrated and achieved their excellence at East.
Senior girls left behind volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics state championships , while the boys basketball team fought the eventual state champion to a standstill.
Teams also showed Nebraska their determination and honesty, such as Anita Calvert on the golf team, who reported a false scorecard, thus costing her team a berth in the state meet.
Mr. McGowan's Citizenship Issues classes sponsored a drive to • free political prisoners in foreign countries. Many long hours were spent writing letters to ambassadors of these countries in hopes of release for the prisoners.
National Honor Society members gave time and blood to the Community Blood Bank for tho'se in need. It took some cou r age but amazingly over 90 students and staff donated.
Students involved in DECA celebrated the victory of Matt Wickless in his campaign for State DECA President. Others rejoiced at the chance to participate in national competition in New Orleans.
And to make the "bluest" months ofthe year go by faster, Spartans were spoiled by high temperatures in January and February. Many students were caught basking in the sun during those normally frigid months.
But, just as students began to enjoy themselves, it was time to go. Seniors were finally cured of their 'senioritis' and underclassmen of related 'cabin fever'. Although the school year was over, it didn't mean the fun had to end. Students looked frequently into the future. Whether it was a new enviromnent in the real 'college world' or back to the
cheery halls of East High, students could guarantee themselves
great memories.
