Ring, Ring goes the bell. Treking down to the ever famous "lot " at the end of the school day, was common for many students. The only place for students to park was the Seacrest Field parking lot.

Ready, Set, Go!! Getting ready for the DECA donut hole eating contest were Curt Wohlers, Mike Agena, Shamir Saxena, and Jason Halderman. The purpose of the contest was to eat five donut holes as fast as possible.

Change

"A stitch in time save nine. !!

"Haste makes waste."

"Time waits for no one."

Clever phrases, all, to mark the passage of time and the subtle, yet never-ending pace of change.

Change overtook East High in 1987 wi t h new leadership, new students, and a new determination to succeed. It was a year to turn the page, to put the past behind and face the future.

Academically and athletically, students showed their abilities in many different areanas of competition. Six students were chosen as National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists: Matt Hinkley, Jess Holle, Paul Kingsbury, Beth Lech tenI'

berger, Devin Nikol, and Ruth Winter. Eight others were named as commended students for their scores.

"After working so hard for so long," commented Lechtenberger, "it is great to be rewarded for being an NMS."

Important changes brought new leadership and guidance. Dr. Richard Krause was named the new senior high principal in late August. Krause had been previously an administrator in Colorado Springs. Mrs. Linda Wyatt, former director of Epworth Village in York, became the new junior high principal. Together they helped support the Spartans and kept the pages of East turning. East also gained fifteen new teachers.

Where Am I? Wondering what is going to happen next, new student council member, Karen Vest is carried off by senoior STUCO member, Josh Gardener, while senior Andy Massey and others look on at sophomore Stuco initiation. Twleve sophomore Stuco members were initiated into Stuco.

Change

Staff seeks to make difference as country ·celebrates tradition

Even the country was turning a page. In September, the United States marked the Bicentennial of the Constitution. Students marked the occasion with a special assembly featuring State Senator Dave Landis masquerading as James Ma<:fison, author of the Constitution.

School began much later in the fall than usual (Sept. 8). Although many students were not anxious to hit the books again, others were eager for what lay ahea~.

"The fact that it's may last year makes everything that I've worked for worth it," -explained senior Kristin Ticknor.

As new pages opened, however, other pages

closed. To help students develop a sense of positive direction, Dr. Krause offered the theme "We Make A Difference" to his staff.

"Integrity and honesty," Krause said, "should be our guides. East has tremendous capability and we can do a lot more."

Throughout the sear, the people in the school came together to put another page in the East High story. As you turn the pages of this book, you will discover stories of successes and failures, high and lows, the story of one year at one school--a special year.

From siestas to fiestas, students made the most of vacation

Sum ma rizi ng Summer

How did most East High students summarize their summer? "Thrilling and exciting ... yet boring," said junior Renee • Pittman.

Whether it was dancing and romancing or siestas and fiestas, most East students' summers were highlighted with new experiences. Amy Fredrick, along with five other East students performed in Europe, including such countries as France and Germany.

"Sometimes the crowds were really big and other times it was just a small group."

Senior Stephanie Price went to Haiti with a group called "Project Serve". Their three week project, to build a school, was cut two weeks short due to political uprisings and governmental problem~.

"There wasn't any real violence," she said. "The people there were really protective of us."

Young Life, a youth group popular at East , played a major role for many. Several students en joyed sailboating, waterskiing and

parasailing on a Minnesota lake on YL •s Castaway Camp. Others spent one month working for a camp or resort. Senior Erin Brase was a housekeeper at a lodge in the Colorado Mountains.

Jobs kept a lot of East students busy through the summer months. Senior Tom Krause worked as a lifeguard at Prairie Life Center. Although he didn't save any lives, he did rescue a few of the kids from those dreaded splinters in their feet.

"There were always the same old kids that got kicked out every day," added Krause.

Aside from these summer experiences were those everyday activities which otherwise would not make summer complete. For instance, there was swimming, dating, sleeping, partying or just plain "hangin' -out" with your buddies.

"My summer was very, very exciting because of one special person ," said junior Jenny Simons.

It wasn't easy staying awake in Nebraska at times, but creative students learned how to make their own fun.

"I like to pillage and plunder and flirt with the freshmen," explained senior Pat Egan. And indeed, finding a date for Friday night was among the most popular leisure time activities.

Taking trips to the nearby metropolis was also on the most popular list.

"I like to go to downtown, to Omaha, to concerts,

to Young Life, and my job," said Amy Farber, a senior. Omaha was popular for its waterslide, Haymarket shopping ·and restaurant districts, and concerts. Some of the Omaha concerts featured the Hooters, Bryan Adams, Richard Marx, and HooDoo Gurus.

Hangouts have always been popular with high school students, much to the joy of Ronald McDonald. Lincoln's five McDonald's restaurants, and in particular, one located at 66th & 0 Streets, kept life interesting for many students.

"We like to see how many times a sophomore can walk around McDonald's without getting dizzy," explained junior Renee Pittman.

around McDonald's par ng ot on a fu tank of gas before it hit empty," said Amie Jenkins, also a junior.

But students worked at McDonald's too, in their spare time, and that often lead to a deadening reptition.

"I work, then I spend my money, then I sleep," commented senior Kim Kleager. Sleeping, of course, was also popular as students longed for that lazy Saturday morning when they could stay in bed until noon (or later). But then, that was part of the price to pay for staying awake in Nebraska.

The Way We We re

The night was young and the memories were many. Pictures of alumni hung from the wall while blue water filled the sunken square in the courtyard.

Spirit filled the air as people danced to the music of "Prccautionz". Although school had only been in session nine days, September 18 was already Homecoming.

Appropriately enough, the theme of the Homecoming Dance was "Memories ... The Way We Were". This theme came upon the Homecoming Committee quite by accident. While sitting in Amigo's after a summer Spirit Club meeting, Jenny Hinkle began to hum "Memories". Suddenly, Carol Bride said, "That's it! That's the perfect theme."

Among East High' s Homecoming royalty were King Sam Snyder and Queen Gina Vitello~ Attendants included Josh

Gardner and Kim Oswald, Chris Costello and Suzi Osborne, Scott Sommerhalder and Karie Kirkland, and Mike Clare and Kim Bargen.

The size of the huge crowd at the pep rally earlier that day was a sign of things to come. The pep rally featured the likes of last year's varsity cheerleaders who cheered alongside the new varsity cheerleading squad. The spirit of East High definitely overshadowed the loss to Southeast later that night.

"The spirit was overwhelming, almost everyone was in a good mood even though we lost," said Deb Cramblet, Chairperson of the Homecoming Committee.

When asked what she thought about the dance, Mrs. Anne Walker, another member of the Homecoming Committee, replied, "The band was very good, but more slow songs would have been nice for a Hom ec oming Dance. All the same, I am

proud of the job the Homecoming Committee did."

The traditional crowning of Homecoming King and Queen touched off the Homecoming celebration.

"I was embarrassed at first but it was an honor to be picked by all my friends," commented King Sam Snyder. "It will be something I will remember for a long time."

Homecoming Queen Gina Vitello remarked, "I had a good time, and it was a very nice surprise."

It appeared that everybody had a terrific time as another Homecoming passed by, along with the memories that were left behind.

Where could you go to get a bear hug, have your face painted, ea t donut holes (donut holes?), almost drown in lemonade , or send a friend to jail? Why, Blue/White Night, of course.

About 200 members of the class of 1990 attended Blue/White Night where they were made to feel welcome. Thirteen school clubs sponsered booths to acquaint new sophomores with East's activities. "I make excuses to go back, because I had so much fun my sophomore year!,, stated senior Gina Vitello.

New to the happenings of Blue/ White Night were the clubs F.C.A. (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) with a dart throw, Intramurals had a basketball shoot, and Spm.t Club with a nose blow, where you tried to blow a cotton ball off your nose.

Other clubs included DECA (donut hole eating), ITS (balloon messages), German Club (musical chairs), International and Spanish clubs (dart throw), Business Club (bear hugs), Art Club (face painting), Dolfins (demonstration booth), Apollonaires (send a friend to jail), Reserves (lemonade rush) , Varsity (button making), and Student Council with their traditional pie booth

Old friendships were rekindled and new acquaintances were made. New student, Julie Caputo from Grand Island, said "It was the best time I've had, because I didn't have any

friends, but now I know some people that I can call friends...

Blue/White night was an overall success for the majority of the sophomores who attended. As stated by one sophomore, Ryan Egger, "In all honesty, it was a real radical time!,,

Favorite 'radical' weekends - include parties, dates

Mini-Vaca t ions

After five days of classes and homework, the weekend finally arrived for socializing, relaxing and getting ready for the following week. Some people found it hard to decide what to do and others didn't, but there was no shortage of weekend pastimes.

During each season, East sports were a major part of every weekend. Few weekends went by without an array of sporting attractions to attend or participate in.

"I really enjoy golf because it's personal therapy for me," Mi.lee Anderson, social studies teacher, said.

A typical fall weekend might include a football game at Secrest Field, a tennis match at Woods Park, and a volleyball game in the school gym. A $10 activity ticket bought hundreds of

hours of entertainment.

A survey of 40 students revealed that parties were the number one social event on weekends. Many cruised "O" Street to find out party locations.

"Radical, everything's radicae" Kristin Ticknor commented about her weekend agendas.

Dates were the top alternatives to parties. Most people surveyed said movies were the most popular setting for dates--either in theatres or at home with rented video cassetes. Sundays were for homework and spending time with family.

"It helps bring me closer to my family," explained junior Tom Madden.

Gone to Lunch

"Want to do lunch?" is a popular phrase that was used many, many times this year. Just what does this mean?

Well, it'~ a saying to ask someone if they want to go to lunch somewhere. This brings up the question, "What do you mean somewhere?" This question is filled by shouts ofMcDonalds, Amigo's, Wendy's, or Eastpark: Who knows how many more? Senior high students have the privilege of being able to go almost anywhere in the city for lunch.

"It's a nice break after five classes," said ~ senior Meredith Foster. Open campus is a privilege that most senior high students take for granted. There are some schools out in the world that require the students to stay and eat the food that the school prepares for them. Junior John Parrack commented, "I appreciated the freedom of open campus."

Not everyone who ventured out for lunch at a favorite food spot was exactly eligible. Take for instance, those "gummers" who scrambled

over to D.Q. once or twice a month for a burger and fries. They would then sneak back into the school with the rest of the crowd hoping Doc wouldn't notice them.

After the lengthy wait in the line of your choice, you finally have your meal. But there were only a few minutes left to woof down your food and start on the hazardous adventure back to school. This involved driving past the wellknown "crash zone", which had unfortunately been the cause of many 6th period tardies. Most made it back safely, however, with no more than a slight stomach-ache from eating so ra 'dly.

Senior high students were defini delighted to have open campus and even some

some serious news

Director casts females in male parts for Dracula

The Count Is Back

Although there was a shortage in male characters, the fall play Dracula couldn't have turned out better. Two characters who are traditionally male, Dr. Van Helsing and Renfield, were re-cast as female parts.

The play took place on October 1, 2, and 3 and had a few changes that set it apart from past plays. For instance, bleachers were set up directly on the stage, which made you feel much closer to the actors and actresses.

The crew had only about a month to put the play together. Senior Tish Gade commented, "It was hard to put the set together in such a short amount of time, but I think we all put it first on our goal list." Even though the cast and crew had a limited amount of time to put the play together they still had time to have fun. "The play was great fun but I'm still nervous about the 35 years bad luck I've got coming to me for breaking all those mirrors," Dave Hinrichs said.

Having a cast of only eight people meant that everyone would have more lines. Carol Scott, director, said "I like to do plays with small casts. That way everyone has more lines and more time to show off their talents." A smaller cast also meant that there would be less conflicts with students schedules.

Special effects played a large pan in the play. A few girls howled from the back of the auditorium to imitate wolves, a mirror was broken in Act II, and at one point Count Dracula escaped through a fire place. A few other effects included a bat, which was the traditional form Dracula took when exiting by window, and a painting that served as a "screen" to inform the audience of a message that Dracula sent to the maid.

To every great school, there is often a great supporting cast. East is certainly no exception. Behind the everyday work of the custodial staff, there are a lot of stories to tell.

Don Flanagan, the building superintendent, has plans of retirement after this year.

''Forty-five years is long enough," he says. Flanagan has been at East since before the school opened in 1966.

''The students at East are very congenial. If I didn't like it here, I wouldn't have stayed so long." Flanagan was with Lincoln Public Schools for 24 years before that

Among Flanagan's boldest memories are the day he found a VW parked in the hall in front of the office, and another time when someone put a greased pig in the office.

Flanagan has other, more positive memories. Recently, he learned he had been awarded a Silver Star for his bravery in World War II.

Joe Sis, an eleven-year custodian at East actually helped build the school. Sis worked for Kingery Construction Company for thirteen years.

Since high school, Sis has encountered his share of misfortunes. Sis worked as a butcher, and managed to cut off two fingers, one in a meat grinder, and one in patty machine. When Sis was with Kingery, he accidentally·fell two stories off Bryan Hospital and landed flat on his back.

"I tell you, it's the sudden stop that hurts, not the fall," Sis noted. Incidentally, Sis landed on the roof of the emergency room entrance.

East's newest custodian is rookie Donna Drews. Drews was at Northeast for three years.

"If you've worked in one high school, you've worked in them all. East is just a lot bigger," Drews said.

In their spare time, all the custodi, ts have plenty to do. Joe Von Rotz, a four-y 1 rr custodian at East, enjoys fishing and "just pid, le • around."

Students use recipe forhealthy, happy life

Every 'Body' Needs

All good cooks know the success of any recipe is dependent upon the quality of the ingredients. Taking a closer look at the above recipe, three key ingredients are listed: exercise, nutrition and relaxation.

The first ingredient, nutrition, is important to many of the "cooks" here at East High. But, in essence, how healthy are the students at East?

"When I eat from the four food groups," explainedjuniorTom Madden, "I am able to take on the challenges of the world."

On the other hand, Laura Gutkin opted for a vegetarian diet.

"I basically became a vegetarian to get away from junk food/' she said. "I would rather die than eat a McDonald's hamburger."

Laura realized a well-balanced diet is important.

"My mother fixes high-protein meals that include cheese, beans and nuts, in order to compensate for my protein loss," she added.

Most people had a sweet tooth or an occasional craving for certain "forbidden" foods. Trim-looking Tosca Lee was no exception.

"I have a passion for chocolate and find TJ Cinnamon Rolls quite irresistable ," Tosca exclaimed.

22 Keeping Fit

But filling up lead inevitably to filling out unless one added the second ingredientexercise.

Junior Kipp Scott expressed the thought that "exercise helps enhance motovation for all things. It clears your mind and puts you at peace."

For Kipp, biking was a fundamental part of life.

"In my life, biking takes care of everything." He continued, "It may not solve all of my problems, but it breaks them down into bite-size pieces, like a 'chicken little.'"

"Exercise has always been important to me," stated senior Hilary Ballau. On a scale of 1-10, Hillary rated exercise a strong 8. She enjoyed her Raquet Club membership, participating in aerobics and nautilus weight training.

"Exercise makes me feel better about myself and it raises my self-esteem," she said.

Swimmer Charlie Larsen noted that exercise helped him develop a healthy disposition.

"Swimming and friendship go hand in hand," he said. "It relieves my tensions and my problems seem to disappear."

Exercise was good for body and mind, but it did have a few drawbacks. Over-exercise

can lead to injury, not to mention the fact that it can become aadictive.

"I'm devoted to exercise," explained Madden. "If I stopped, I'd be a big mess, a big ball of tension. Fitness is my life, it's what I do."

The last ingredient, relaxation, must not be omitted or the recipe will fail. No one could thrive on a steady diet of"all work and no play".

Several students mentioned that they were lulled into a state of contentment by listening to music or just kicking back and watching the tube.

Tosca Lee mentioned that "dancing helps me unwind" if she has had a bad day.

Madden also explained, "When I wan~ to 'take a load off' I make myself a tall glass of lemonade and put my earphones on."

Most students agreed that it was important to escape from the hectic life they lead and take a breather.

The simplicity of the recipe was quite extraordinary, blending nutrition, exercise and relaxation into an appetizing lifestyle. Here's to a happy, healthy you! "Bon Appetit!"

Students fight stereotypes through jobs and friendships

Friends and Rivals

While working at Amigo's, an East student was filling drinks for some cheerleaders from Southeast Apparently they had a football game that night and were stopping in for a quick bite on their way there. The worker wished them luck at their game and was friendly as she asked if they needed anything else. As the cheerleaders left, one turned to the other and said, "See, she's not a snob."

All too often, students pinned stereotypes on the different schools-most of which were both negative and deceptive. As East junior Rod Apel said, "They're inaccurate because people from different schools all think rm rich."

No one liked to be stereotyped. As junior Lynn Wurst put it, "They have to go here to know what's really going on!"

The facts are that Southeast was known for a great football team and music program. Lincoln High excelled in such things as bas-

ketball and track as well as having an outstanding pep club. Northeast had a repu~tion for a super band and a very supportive community. And last but surely not least, East High was known for the consistent level of high academics and great swimming and volleyball teams.

Students from the four public high schools had jobs together and did things with friends from different schools just for fun.

"I have been friends with many people from different schools and never been treated differently because I went to East High," stated senior Kim Semple.

Though the stereotypes and negative remarks were still around, it was nice to know that this was a year for great friendships between the "school boundaries." After all, friends can be rivals too.

Making New Friends?! A common Student Council ritual has been to exchange the school representatives for a day. Awaiting final instructions these students sit eagerly in the cafeteria anticipating the day ahead.

Detour to Laramie doesn't ruin Ski Club's fun

Skiing for Fun

When 85 students and five teachers loaded the chartered buses and headed for Steamboat Springs, Colorado, everyone thought that they would be spending three glorious days in the snow and sun, surrounded by friends, the music they liked (or disliked), and all the junk food a kid could ever want.

Their luck was not so good, however, and the weather was even worse. The buses stopped at a truck stop in Cheyenne, Wyoming, just long enough to discover that the roads ahead were closed. The skiers spent that night on the bus waiting for 1-80 to open. When the sun came up, the roads opened and they were on their way. But upon arriving in Laramie, Wyoming, at 11 a.m., the group discovered yet another road closure.

"The visibility was poor because of blowing snow," explained Willie Sapp, trip sponsor.

By mid-afternoon almost everyone had given up hope of getting to Steamboat. Some had even checked into motel rooms, including the drivers, but soon the roads were

open again.

After 28 hours on the bus, everyone was tired but glad when Steam boat was finally reached.

"We were so happy to get off the bus," said Marci Butler.

The delay may have been worth it, however, because Sunday morning the skiers were welcom~d with five inches of new powder. Everyone from first-time skiers to th~ most advanced had fun.

"The skiing was great," commented Tom Stroot.

A day of skiing led to an active night life. People gathered together to socialize and have a good time.

Driving all day Tuesday, the group returned to Lincoln after two days of skiing and 38 hours on the bus.

"The ski trip gave me a chance to spend time with my friends," explained Michelle McQuistan, "and I also got to make new friends."

A Way of Life

Would life exist without Rudy Stoehr? Life perhaps, but not intramurals.

By giving 40 hours of his time each week, "Rudy" organized and built East High Intramurals into one of the most extensive intramural programs in the country. He proudly stated, "There isn't anything like it in the world!"

Fifteen years ago, when Stoehr took over the unorganized intramural program, only one flag football team existed. This year at East, 16 teams participated in 9 different sports.

What favorable aspects appealed to the students? "Basically," as Rudy stated, "it offers recognition," which in turn builds self esteem.

Participants had an opportunity to read the results of the week's happenings in the/ntramural Weekly. Also, player and team of the week received special recognition and were featured in this periodical. Unfortunately, one important form of ecposure was eliminated when daily intramural scores were banned from the morning announcements. According to Stoehr, teachers complained due to controversial and misunderstood team names.

Also, Ron Lund, an avid intramural participant, feels lively competition

attracts many students. All the teams had a common goal in mind to be victorious.

"We've learned to work together io win," Lund commented. This year, the "G.O. Suckers" was the first team to win all four fall sports and remain undefeated.

Did intramurals hurt varsity participation, or did they go hand in hand? Not all students could take the rigorous time and effort required for varsity sports. They opted for intramurals because they enjoyed the friendly competition rather than the pressure at the varsity level.

On the other hand, some outstanding athletes made time for both. One such athlete, Mark Hawkins, remarked, "It was tough, but I enjoyed the diversity."

Rudy Stoehr hoped that, "intramurals, in some way, has given kids more than just play." When forming the program, he realized that many valuable lessons are sometimes indirectly learned; sportsmanship, responsibility, team work, friendship, honesty, and effort, to name a few.

Through Rudy's efforts, intramurals will always be an important part ofEast High. "Because, "as Rudy exclaimed, "an awful lot of kids love intramurals an awful lot." By Kim Curran, Michelle Venter

Winter participation reaches record high

A year of even teams

Triumphing over the winter intramural season, "Verce is a traitor" claimed the overall team championship.

Winter intramural participation reached a record high of 5,992 (one participa- tion point was counted each time a student played). Slam jam basketball was introduced as a winter intramural sport.

"Plain and simple, it was a great year for basketball," stated intramural sponser Rudy Stoehr. He felt the 1988 winter intramural season was one of the most competitive because the top four teams were all on the same level.

"It was a year of even teams," observed Stoehr.

"Thick milk" emerged as number

38 Intramurals

one from the holiday tournament, which took place during winter break. Assisted by "coach of the year" Andy Massey, senior Brandon Monnich was named most valuable player of the tournament

At the conclusion of the season, senior Ron Lund won the slam dunk contest and Vercellino became the three point shootout champion. Many team victories were achieved as well. The "P.I.G.S." won their first volleyball game in five years.

Intramurals however, were about much more than just contests and champion- ships. Five days a week, throughout the entire five month season, students stayed after school to participate in basketball and volley- ball games. Intramurals were made possible

only through the combined efforts of students, officials, and Stoehr, founderofEasts's intramural program.

Seniors leave tradition behind; juniors win again

Breaking out

A senior in a brown garbage bag and shades rushes off to his first period class, past a sophomore guy hobbling along in a dress and heels, and a couple of juniqr girls donning hats with trenchcoats. Just another day at Lincoln East High?

Not quite. February 8 began a fiveday competition between the three classes during the traditional spirit week. For one week students had the opportunity to make their class as number one. Hall decorations, dress up days, and pep rally skits all followed a chosen theme, offering students the chance to express themselves and show class unity.

In most ways the 1988 spirit week held few surprises for students. The juniors earned their second title of overall spirit champs. Sophomores followed in a close second, leaving the seniors without a victory. However, a victory wasn't what the seniors had in mind.

This year's senior -class (headed by Josh Gardner, David Smith, Chris Wohlers, and Michelle Venter) opted for taking a different route down "spirit week lane." Their goal was

the same, but their original theme caused much misunderstanding, for both students and the administration.

Their theme, "Going down for the last time," projected what some misunderstood as an anti-spirit week attitude.

"We weren't anti-spirit," claimed senior class Vice President Dave Smith. "Spirit Week should be an expression of the class, and it was for us."

Josh Gardner, senior class President, felt the seniors made a great accomplishment in the "triple crown defeat"

"We established class unity that wasn't there before," he stated.

Cheech and Chong, the Blues Brothers, and Spartan Bond were the themes used in the pep rally skits by the seniors, juniors and sophomores, respectively. Students of each class managed to incorporate their views on various school policies in the skits. The new detention policy, in particular, received criticism from all classes.

"The senior skit was hellish!" exclaimed junior Chris Barry.

"It really presented a challenge to our class," agreed sophomore class officer Marci Butler.

For the decorations category, the sophomores and juniors opted for posters, streamers, and floor tape messages. Meanwhile, the seniors had different ideas. Their hall was laden with trash, toilet paper and many items commonly found in scrapbooks. Unfortunately for the class of' 88, the majority of "decorations" were declared unsafe by the administration and had to be taken down. Left with a nearly barren hall, many seniors felt cheated.

"It was unfair that the decorations weren't taken down until it was too late for us to change anything," protested Smith.

As Spirit Week came to an end, each class managed to achieve some degree of unification. The junior class spirit once again beat out the other classes, seniors broke tradition, and the sophomores gained incentive for the years to come.

Gimme a boost! Getting a leg up on the competition, sophomores Karen Vest and Jenny Smith add the final touches to their decorations. The sophomore class placed second in the decorations category.

In each organization offered at East, students were taught skills needed to work with people of all types. Student Council became involved in several community service projects, spent may of their hours trying to solve the increasing vandalism problem at East, and even put together a student directory which was sold to the students.

Referring to the party held for the handicapped students at East, senior Josh Gardner summed it up saying, "It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. Doing something like this gives you a chance to work with people you might have never worked with otherwise."

DECA became a school known name this year. With the increased advertising for the DECA Donut Stand, Matt Wickless, the DECA Donut Stand manager, learned the importance of strong management and organization no matter what the size of the business may be.

"With Matt's imagination and ~knowledge of advertising, the DECA Donut Stand had almost doubled the sales this year," explained Paula Trauernicht, DECA secretary.

Many organizations sponsored school activities to raise money. The selling of candy, carnations, gift items, and jewelry was seen throughout the year. Also, sponsoring dances was, again, a popular idea. Bake sales proved to be a source of earning for the Cheerleaders, Apollonaires, and other organizations.

If nothing else, becoming involved in a group or club gave students a chance to feel needed, find friends they might not meet under different circumstances, and to develop both mentally and physically. By putting themself into a club students accomplished group and personal goals. The pages were flowing with the talent and imagination produced from a little work.

Senior Paul Best felt that "clubs allow school to be more than just books and tests. They add variety."

Trust me! As senior high student council members play hot potato with sophomore Kyle Garton, they build unity and trust within the group. This was one of the many games played at the Stuco convention held in North Platte helping to make acquaintances.

These inspiring words could be heard loud and clear at many chilly football games. However a lot of hard work went into making this club successful.

Cheering at various games wasn't the only activity they participated jn. From car washes to dances these devoted girls could be seen spending long hours both earning money and putting it to good use for the school. Earning points to try out for Appollonaires or Cheerleaders also made pep club a challange. A grand total of

125 points were required for those planning to tryout in April and May.

As senior cheerleader Andy Dittenber stated, "They have potential to be a great pep club and to have strong squads next year."

A new proposal was made in order to improve public relations. An idea of honoring · parents and students from different junior highs new to East at various school events was succesful.

Spirit' and Unity

''They are the easiest squad I've ever worked with because they are compatible, they get along • well, and they are loads of fun!" insisted Mrs. Wilson when referring to the Apollonaires.

The success of the group could be credited to their desire to work together and maintain unity. Starting early in thy summer, the girls attended a summer clinic at Lake Okoboji in Iowa where they won blue ribbons on their routines and were rewarded with the "Spirit Award" by the other squads at the camp.

Gina Vitello, one of the captains, described the squad: "I am very proud of the performances we've had this year and very confident in my fellow pollaboppers. The squad has a load of talent When we put our practice time to great use, we're spectacular! Just like they say, Practice makes perfect!"

Although the girls made the routines look easy, a lot of hard work went into each practice and perfonnance. Places they perfonned included Worlds of Fun, Nebraska Wesleyn, and the University of Nebraska, not to mention numerous games both at East

and even out of town games. Aside from performing, the girls ran a jail at Blue/White Night, held a dance for the junior high students, and participated in several band contests. Bake sales, carnation sales and candy sales were a major form of funding for the group.

Working together and working well were two jobs that went hand in hand to determine the success of the group.

"The things I've learned about other people and how hard it can be to get along at times is going to stay with me always," explained Robin Rooney about the personal satisfaction she gained from the group. "I love all eleven of them."

The members of the group included: Captains Tish Gade and Gina Vitello, Treasurer Stefanie Seaman, Secretary Anne Erickson, and members, Jenny Allam by, Ellen Canney, Laura Gutkin, Jill Hammer, Krista Hiser, Karie Kirkland, Robin Rooney, and Kathy Wildman.

Varsity Rah-Rah's

Squad with first male cheerleader

The varsity cheerleaders quickly discovered that it took a great deal of hard work to inject more school spirit into East High activities. But the cheerleaders were able to cooperate and work well together to become a unified squad.

Their theme for the year was one that suggested the unsurpassed spirit they hoped to arouse: "Power of the Spartans." Besides appearing at nearly every game, the cheerleaders led cheers at the Shrine Bowl, marched in the Shrine parade, sold holiday carna-

tions, and held bake sales and car washes to raise fund~ for various activities.

The main goal for the cheerleaders, of course, was to support East High teams and to help generate good sportsmanship. The squad met every day to plan and prepare for upcoming' activities.

Cheerleader sponsor Marge Keep had been working with the cheerleaders for ten years and described this year's squad as "an outstanding group."

More with less

Student Council works to benefit commuinity

"Mess witi. :he best, die like the rest" was the student council motto, and the bizarre quality of that motto suited the offbeat talents of the council.

"They probably do more with as little funds as anybody in the country," explained Stuco sponsor Rudy Stoehr. "Even then, all the money is put back into the school."

The Council got an early start on school activities by holding planning meetings over the summer. They develop~ a new student orientation program, rang bells for the Salvation Army, caroled at the homes of seniors citizens, sponsored a Thanksgiving canned food drive, and hosted a Valetine's Day party for the spe"'. cial education students.

One of the biggest jobs the council had was to promote school spirit.

"The student council is for the students, not for themselves," commented president Deb Bacon.

Other council officers included vice-president Sam Snyder, secretaries Ellen Canney and Rad Dobson, and treasurer Tom Madden.

"Student Council is doing a great job of taking leadership in encouraging students to help keep the school in good shape and appearance," said Mr. Darwin Salestrom.

Away, hunger pangs

DECA was more than just doughnuts

Do you remember feeling a little hungry in the morning upon arriving at school? Many students found they could grab a convenient little snack at the DECA Donut Stand.

The Stand sold a variety of things including doughnuts, Vita-pups, poptarts, and gum. The humorous advertisements posted around the school could be credited to Matt Wickless who was not only the executive director of the donut stand but also state DECA president. With his talents on the computers, students could enjoy many creative advertisements.

However, DECA did a lot more than just sell doughtnuts. By November they had already made a $2,000 profit through fun_ draisers, much of which was donated to needy organizations. Also they participated in running concessions at home games, having a progressive dinner at Christmas, helping in the Southeast fashion show, and having several bowling tournaments.

also went to the Fall Leadership Conference on October 5 and to the Central Region Leadership Conference in Chicago November 6-8. The state conference was held in Lincoln on March 17-19, and while they weren,t attending speeches or convention sessions, the students had some free time to shop and sightsee.

The DECA chapter grew by over 30 people this year, and reached a peak of 106 members. Much of the credit for the organizations, growth can be attributed to the club,s sponsor, Mrs. Debra Payne. Meetings were held weekly for officers and monthly for members, and often involved guest speakers. These gatherings were often held at local businesses.

Change sparks creativity

East Winds joins forces with writing class

A big change took place thi~ year concerning the coarse Creative.Writing. East Winds, a publication of creative works previously worked on outside of school, was combined with the Creative Writing classes making a significant change.

East Winds was open for submissions from grades seven through twelve of any creative works, including poems, essays, short stories, artwork, and photography. Because of the joining of Creative Writing and East Winds, both semesters put out an addition, whereas in previous years only one East Winds was published.

Dr. Anne Cognard agreed to take on East Winds when she began teaching at East in 1986. "The focus of the class is creative writing, which can be displayed through East Winds. It gives the student a chance to create their own artpiece.," said Cognard. There were three main objectives of the class. The first was simply to write. Writing was the central activity of the class and many students who liked to write found it hard to find time to do it on their own. Junior Jamie Cooper said,"! like to write and seeing what others wrote about; their ideas, was a worthwhile experi56 East Winds

ence."

The second objective was to have students recognize the internal and external resources of writing. The last objective was to make the students good critics. This included editing, looking at others work, and making judgement calls relative to whether a piece was good or bad and why. Cognard commented, "Students used their own tastes, but had to be accountable for their judgements. For instance, you could say that something was bad writing and have reasons, but you could also say that something was good writing but that you did not like that particular piece. I taught students that it was alright for something to be bad."

Cognard went on to mention that the first and second semester classes were very different from each other. "Each class had their own conception of creativity.," she said.

Whether it was creating, critiqueing, or editing, most students agreed that combining East Winds and Creative Writing was a novel idea. "I really loved the class. It was great fun!," exclaimed Duke Daehling.

Art Club had much to offer

"It's not everyday that one gets to see an original Renoir, Monet, and Van Gogh," stated senior Karie Kirkland. But that'sjustwhatofthe Art Club got to do when the club sponsored a trip to Kansas City's Nelson Art Gallary to see a special exhibition of impressionist paintings.

Kansas City, the Art Club did the ever popular face painting at the sophomore Blue/White Night, brightened the hallways by painting windows during the holidays, created holiday ornaments and designed t-shirts and cards throughout the year.

Turning the page to new attendance policies, new courses, and new graduation requirements, students were faced with major changes in academics. Faculty members also noticed several crucial changes as fifteen new staff members joined the school. Teachers in all areas brought new ideas and talent to help keep the pages turning.

East also added two new administrators-Dr. Richard Krause as the high school principal and Dr. Linda Wyatt as the junior high principal.

Senior Missy Gillispie praised Dr. Krause, saying "He is always free to give you a smile."

Along with new faces, the choices of classes also turned a page. A new career planning course for sophomores, developed by Mrs. Diane Dunning, helped prepare students for the future. Dr. Anne Cognard offered a humanities course and two new science classesApplied Chemistry and Applied Physics-were added for students who needed science courses for their requirements but were not necessarily interested in a career in science.

Mr. John Ficke, teacher of the applied science classes, said that the classes "were going wonderfully well. The students really enjoy my classes, and I have a lot of fun teaching the students."

A new attendance policy which sought to crack down on tardies and truancies sent a number of students to detention center second semester. Althought some students felt the policy was tooharsh, many teachers reported that it had a dramatic effect on class attendance.

Students didn't only contend with tough requirements and strict policies, however, They also learned about lifelong pleasures like aerobics, racquet sports, and other activity-oriented classes. East High offered a broad educational program that kept turning the pages of students' lives.

Latin? No, Latin America. Debate members Susan Stibal and Mahesh Sookram discuss their opinions on a controversial subject. Debate members enjoyed having the freedom of expressing their own opinions of different topics, such as Latin America.

Tension

Old and new friends, enemies, strangers, homes, tension, a few nervous kids, and Friday and Saturday nights. These terms all led a person to believe someone was having a wild party, right? Not necessarily. For members of the Speech and Debate teams, those words meant stiff competition throughtout their weekend tournaments.

Although there was one obvious similarity between the two teams, that being their speaking abilities, they did differ in the ways in which they used those abilities.

Because it is thought that Speech and Debate went hand in hand, one might think the Speech and Debate teams traveled together to tournaments. But this was not so. Each team had their own competitions at separate times and various places. The two teams did do one thing togetherthey hosted a Speech and Debate tournament at East on February 19-20. Top debaters and speakers attended the tournament and a good time was had by all.

''The tournament was an enriching experience. It was fun having a tournament here for once", commented Speech member Tricia Cheng.

Besides attending tournaments

Speech and Debate members talk their way to the top

throughout the year, a few Speech members had the opportunity to qualify for Nationals held in Nashville, Tennessee during the summer. They also sold jewelry to fund the expenses which were not covered by the school.

At the speech tournaments, a speaker coufci choose from five different divisions in which to speak. Within a certain division, speakers could use the same speech over and over from tournament to tournament They could choose to improve the speech, using comments and suggestions given to them by the judges.

On the whole, the speech team got along well with each other and with Coach Dutch Fichthom.

"When you spend a lot of weekends with the same people, you have to get along with them. Mr. Fichthom is pretty popular with the students; it also helps that most Speech members are creative and adaptable", commented Speech member Lynn Lu.

All in all, having a new coach, Katherine Bennet, did not prevent the Debate team from being the best they could be.

"Switching coaches this year made us strive for unity, even though there appeared to be a split within the team,,, stated Debate

member Jon Hunt.

For most dedicated Debate members, debating proved to be a time-consuming event.

"It probably takes more time than any sporting eventthinking, researching, preparing, and finding a suitable partner," said debate member Jude Hayes.

An actual debate usually lasted one and a half hours. A Debate member could debate up to four times each two-day tournament.

The chosen topic debated at each tournament was whether the United States should adopt a policy to increase political stability in Latin America. Each team of two had to have an affirmative and negative view.

Most Speech and Debate member.s · thought their experiences would help them in their futures no matter what they planning on doing.

"Speech helps you to be more articulate and grow. It helps you to learn how to deal with people", said Cheng.

"Debate has many facets of learning. It helps you to prepare for almost anything in life", commented Hunt.

The stage was set as Drama Club and ITS members traveled to Grand Island for the state ITS conyention. The convention was held February 19 and 20 at Grand Island High School. Among the activities at the convention were workshops, a one-act play competition, and a '50's dance sponsored by the East drama department.

"The highlight of my year is going to the convention," commented ITS president Pat Walsh. "It's a great learning experience."

At East, no one interested in drama was excluded from participating in dramatic activities,

Europe

Thousands of miles away from home, a new family, and a foreign language would be enough to scare anyone. This setting became a reality for six foreign exchange students that attended East Although their respective schools may not have had a twelfth grade, all six students were placed as seniors at East.

"In Denmark kids are only expected to complete school through ninth grade. After that, it is their decision as to whether they continue school," commented Majbrit Brouer.

"In Europe, students are treated with more respect and not so much as kids," said Alex Spotorno.

dances, pep rallies, and class meetings were new for the foreign exchange students. School in Europe was strictly for studying and learning, nothing else.

"Homecoming was my first experience with school activities and Prom was my last, I will always remember these two experiences," stated Davide Fregonese.

Upon arriving in the States, all six began to form their opinions of America, and its people.

"American people are friendlier and more open," said Camilla Colleen.

"I like America just as well as Denmark," said Majbrit Brouer.

Some people may have 10ught that, although there was a inished product, there was little, if ny, work involved in the producon of it. Not true. Together, the 2 staff members designed 112 1youts, printed approximately

300 pictures, and wrote captions and a story to go with the pictures. Finally, after the March 23rd deadline for the hard back yearbook, the staff designed and produced the Spring Supplement

Among the activities the Epic staff participated in was a journalism convention held on East Campus. Members who attended the convention learned various writing and designing techniques in addition to viewing the first video yearbook produced in Nebraska After viewing the video yearbook, plans were made to possibly produce one at East.

" The convention was a neatexperiencebecause itopened my eyes to new techniques. I also

learned what judges look for when they critique yearbooks", commented junior Deb Cramblet.

In an effort to improve staff unity, Epic members also participated in a Christmas gift exchange and bought staff sweatshirts. The staff also planned a trip to visit the yearbook staff of Omaha's Millard South High School.

"There is a lot of work put into it, but seeing the finished product is a reward in itself. The staff really worked well together and accomplished a lot", said senior editor Ami Elgert in summing up the staff's experiences and work.

So, what do you think? Junior Brad Bemthal consults Oracle advisor Jim Schaffer. Brad was the editor of the Oracle both semesters.

Any ideas? Members of the Oracle staff meet to brainstorm for the upcoming issue. There usually was a period of class dedicated for this purpose before each issue.

Deadline

Tick-tock went the clock as the newspaper staff worked hard each day from 10:50 to 11:40 LO meet deadlines. The newspaper staff, .better known as the Oracle staff, published bi-monthly editions throughout the school year. The Oracle got a new look with the addition of four pages, making it a twelve-page newspaper.

"A twelve-page newspaper was not our goal. All of our writers had great writing abilities which made our paper longer," commented advisor Jim Schaffer.

The Oracle consisted of five sections, including News, Sports, Opinions, Features, and Focus. Although each section had its own editor, each of the reporters were able to write stories for different sections from issue to issue.

The Editor was junior Brad • Bernthal. Being the editor, Brad had many responsibilities. Having to work with deadlines, time was the first priority.

"Basically, Brad runs the whole show while Schaffer looks at the final product," said Features editor Matt Woodward.

Activities included a convention at UNL, a Valentino's pizza party, and "field trips" to Omaha to visit the Omaha World Herald and Omaha Wcstside's newspaper staff.

Staff learns responsibility from producing school paper

Responsibilities of the reporters included creating, researching, interviewing for, and writing stories within a one-week time period. After stories were written and typed on the Macintosh computer, they were given to the layout editor for page design.

Although the Oracle staff may have been relieved when the newspaper came out, a lot of dedication, work, and committment went into its production.

"You have a commlttment to the staff. It is

rewarding when people read your work, then comment on it. You get out of it what you put into it," stated Lynn Lu.

Through their experiences with the Oracle, many of the staff members have gained an interest in pursuing a career in J ournalism.

"It helps build a foundation in writing, speaking, and thinking which will help in the future," commented Tricia Cheng.

Personality

''We can do together what none of us can to do alone!" was often on the minds of the seventy-five members of the East Singers as they entered D-145 each day fifth period.

This group composed of juniors and seniors came to this room not only to sing, but to discover more about life.

"Pete doesn't just teach music. He teaches us a lot about life, his own philosiphies, morals, and ideas. You get more out of it than just musical experience." commented Matt Woodward. Jon Peterson, affectionately known as "Pete", was the director of Singers and has been for twenty years. "He's a legend, you can tell your older brother or sister about something he did, and they'll tell you about a time that he acted the same

"The musical brought everyone together and no one felt excluded." commented Scott Stalcup.

Included on their list of activities were a Winter and Spring concert performed for anyone who wanted to attend. Another annual activity was their ski trip to Breckenridge in Colorado.

"It was a lot of fun because you get to know other people who like to sing better It's great that his other groups are invited, too." said Chamber Choir member

To become a member of Sing~rs you had to tryout The try out consisted of sight reading, matching the pitch, singing a third of a triad, and singing a solo. A lot of the members decided to tryout because of the positive response they got from older brother& and sisters who had been in Singers in past years.

"I was cutjous to see how much fun it was because my older brother told me it was a lot of fun and a great experience." said junior Dave Hinrichs. Other members were itl it to meet people and to do what they liked best, SING!.

It was summed up best by senior Scott Stalcup, "I wouldn't be in Singers if I didn't want to be."

This is how to do it! Members of the Swing Choir practice with their choreographer during 1st period! Every once in a while the Swing Choir had a choreographer come in and assist on their dance movements.

Perfection Bopping to the sound of music

While some people just can• t get motivated in the morning, there was something that got some East students moving, and singing. These students, members of the first period Swing Choir and second period Chamber Choir, made music a part of their daily routine.

"Swing Choir wakes me up and puts me in a good mood," commented junior Rad Dobson.

The all-girl Chamber Choir, composed of7 sophomores, 6 juniors, and 3 seniors, sung pop, renaissance, classical, and jazz music. The Swing Choir, composed of 7 girls and 7 guys who were either juniors or seniors, sang pop and blues while they swayed to and fro to the tunes of the piano.

Swing Choir performed

for private parties, elementary schools, and various restaurants.

Meanwhile the Chamber Choir performed at Sheldon Art Gallery, the Cornhusker, the Capital, churches, and the radio station KFOR.

Both singing groups were involved in many activities throughout the year. One of the many habits acquired by the Chamber Choir was eating donuts every Friday.

"Last year, we had donuts about once a month. This year, however, we chose to have donuts every Friday," commented Chamber Choir member Amy Peirce.

During the summer, the Swing Choir attended a one-day retreat to learn more about each

other.

"Everybody has certain qualities to add to the group," said Tish Gade.

To be a member of either group, one had to audition. In addition, to be a member of Swing Choir, one had to be a member of Singers.

Perserverance and hard work paid off for both choirs.

"Since we got along well together, we were one of the closest knit groups at East," explained Tish Gade. "Because of this, each of our performances was better than the last."

Style

"Boogity, Boogity, Boogity Ah, Ah, Ah," "Sweet"

"Yo baby, Yo baby, Yo baby, Yo"

These phrases were often said by 120 unpredictable, high-spirited students otherwise known as the East High Band.

For these 120 students, school started on August 17, two weeks before East High officially opened its doors for the 1987-1988 school year. New friends, fun, and a lot of hard work were all a part of these two weeks known as Band Camp. When school did officially start, all of the band members had to arrive at school one hour earlier than all of the other students did. "Arriving at school at seven was a sacrifice I had to make for band", said

Band was not just a class, but a way of life

senior drum major Barb Nielsen. "You get used to it, and it is kind of nice to see the sun rise", commented piccolo soloist Erika Walter.

For their first performance of the year, the band traveled to Beatrice, where they placed fourth out of more than twenty bands. Their second competition was the LPS Marching Band Contest in which they received a Superior "1" rating. Their final performance was Band Masters at UNO.

Drum majors this year were seniors Barb Nielsen, Jeff DeLong, and junior Brandon Tonniges. These three worked closely with Band Director Del • Whitman and served as role models for the entire band. They also attended Drum Major Camp for one week during the summer.

"Being a drum major gets tiring, but it is a valuable experience", commented Brandon Tonniges. The band was seen at most major sporting events arousing spirit As said by sophomore band member Marci Butler, "We're there to initiate the wildness!"

Band was a lot of fun, "But by the same token", it was a lot of hard work. "The hard work put in was well worth the effort. It paid off every time we performed", stated Barb Nielsen. Obviously for these people, band wasn't just a class, but a way of life.

Strolling by the music wing during third period, students could often hear the sound of classical music. However, students walking by the same music wing during sixth period would hear the upbeat tunes of pop, jazz, swing, and blues.

The groups responsible for this entertainment were the Orchestra and the Jazz Band, respectively.

Although their music differed, the Orchestra and Jazz Band strived for one common goal: perfection.

The director of both JazzBand and Orchestra was Mr. Del Whitman.

"Del is a perfectionist, 11 explained junior Orchestra member Jeanna Rickenburg. "Although he always compliments us on our work, he makes us push ourselves to the limit to be better musicians. 11

7 6 Orchestra

A change of pace sparks orchestra and jazz band

Both the Orchestra and Jazz Band rehearsed during their class periods to perfect their performances. In order to achieve that goal, the Jazz Band, composed of 19 members tried to imitate recordings of professional musicians. At times, the Orchestra recorded their rehearsals during the class period, then listened to the tapes to improve their sound. In addition, a few dedicated musicians took private lessons and perfected their music at home.

Even though a lot of practice and hard work were required for Orchestra and Jazz Band, members still enjoyed their work.

"We were allowed more creativity in Jazz Band than in Marching Band," senior Jazz Band member Jim Sowers commented. •

"Orchestra is like a play-

-it helps you express things better and makes a person wellrounded," Orchestra member Jeana Ricken burg said.

Although members of the Orchestra specialized in one instrument they had been playing for at least three years, each individual was expected to learn how to play a second instrument

"Learning to play a second instrument was a valuable experience," stated sophomore Shannon Marple.

The orchestra performed in the All-City Orchestra program--not for competition but for a relaxed atmosphere.

Elementary and junior high schools were a common sites for performances by the Jazz Band.

Finals

It was the last week of the semester, and bugg-eyed students, who had gained five pounds, frantically crammed for the dreaded test of knowledge, semester finals. Although, final exams are a common occurrance on college campuses, last year was the first year a final exam schedule was used at East.

''This schedule was piloted at the end of the 86-87 school year, and worked quite well," explained principal Dr. Richard Krause.

Every teacher was required to give a graded activity either a chapter test, unit test or final exan, during the one and a half hour test period.

Many students spent hours studying and preparing for thier final exams.

Is this pressure or what?

parents quiz them. Still, others found getting plenty of rest and eating a hearty breakfast helped to relieve the test stress.

"I don't give a final to torture students but just to find out how much they remember and to review the material," said teacher Mrs. Mary Butler.

Besides books and lecture notes, students found other useful "study aids," such as televisions, radios, and junk food. Some students found studying by the light of the T.V. and munchies close helped release the pressure that accompanies finals.

"I scream, throw my books, and head straight for the ice cream," said junior Heather Anderson.

Other students found different techniques to prepare for their exams, such as enlisting the help of other friends, or having

"Personally, I think finals are a waste of my time because it's no use studying for a final for two hours then take the test and barely pass," commented junior Laura Paeglis. While, some students may feel final exams are useless and a waste of time, teachers believe it prepares students for college finals.

Reading instructions carfully, knowing what was being asked and not spending too much time on a difficult question seemeed to help many students during the actual exams.

"Having a clear mind, reviewing right before the test, and doiog the easiest problems first, help me a lot," said Mahesh Sookram.

After the exams were finished, students found it necessary to unwind by going out and having a good time.

"After racking my brains for two weeks studying, it's time to cut-lose and PARTY," exclaimed senior Jim Sowers.

The "Three Amigos", Mark Graves, Dave Peters, and le Luthans, helped bring victory and the State Championp trophey to the boys swim team by capturing a one, two, ee finish in the the 100 yard freestyle. This was the first te win for the boys' swim team ever in Spartan history.

"It was a great way to cap off our Senior year, and the team deserved it all," said Mark "Lucky Day" Graves.

The sophomore football team had a winning record of 52, only losing to Southeast and Fremont J.V.'s., greatly improving over last years record of O - 5.

In the girls' competition, the Varsity V plleyball team and the. Varsity Basketball team both made it to state competition for the third consective year. Although the volleyball team lost in the first round, they ended up with an outstanding record of 22 - 7. The basketball team made their way into state by capturing the district title for the third year in a row.

Not only did students accomplish great feats, but two East coaches turned a page by earning their 300th win. Varsity volleyball coach Myron Oehlerking, and Varsity boys' basketball coach Paul Forch were the first two of the few coaches to achieve this honor.

In every aspect, each team was a winning one. In victory or defeat, members of the student body were there to support the mighty Spartans on, helping push every team · ahead, turning another page in East High sports.

Team Unity

Team rallies despite injuries

The East High football team seemed to be a protege of years before. After starting out three and three and coming off an inpressive sixth-game win over unbeaten Columbus, the season began on a good note. However, because of numerous injuries, the Spartans had to grudge out the rest of the season without many of their starting players.

"We jus t didn't have the experience with all the underclassmen starting in important positions," said Andy Farber. ""Without a lot of our normal starters in there, it made it harder to play with some of the top ten teams we played during the season."

The rest of the season held true to this fact, as the Spartans went on to lose their last three games, and finish last in their quest for the city title.

"We were scrambling from the start," said coach Lee Zen tic. "We had a lot of injuries slow us down. I thought we might have finished better

The Lincoln East team wasn't without their bright spots. Mike Clare, Matt Spethman, John Becker, and Chris Eubanks received All-City honors, and Marc Hunter earned honorable mention. Spethman and Eubanks eclipsed some East football records. Spethman shattered the old receptions record of 43 with his own 46 catches this season. Eubanks had 1,269 yards passing, erasing the old completion mark. •

"The season was a lot of fun, I think our team unity was the key to winning the games we did," said startingtightendAndyMassey. "Wereally had to stick together and work hard to win some games."

Best and Worst

Sophs find success; jv's struggle

It's a game of inches.

The East High sophomore football team held true to this fact. They entered the fourth game of the season against Southeast with an unblemished record of 3-0, but fate was not in their hands. They were stopped short of the goal on fourth and inches with just seconds remaining.

"It was a controversial call, I thought we made the touchdown," said assistant coach Dan Caulkins.

The reserve and sophomore coaches and players didn't dwell on how the score came out.

"We did have some very good individual athletes this year but it was the great team unity that spurred us on to have such a good season," commented coach Caulkins. "I was really proud of the team and how hard they worked."

•

The team unity helped the sophomores to a 6-1 record. They finished the season with three straight wins including a victory over Northeast who s hared the coveted city title with the Spartans. One of their biggest

games was against Grand Island; it marked the first time that East had ever beaten the Islanders.

This season also marked a new era in the sophomore football program. Instead of placing a lot of the sophmores on reserves and varsity, the coaches decided to keep most of the sophomores on the sophomore team. In the end this proved to be a big factor because the team, under the coaching of John Gingery and assistant Dan Caulkins, brought forth some promise.

The team made strides in bringing back East's tradition of winning football. The Spartans won six football games compared to only one win in the two preceeding years.

"We were trying to change things coming into this year, we kept the sophomores together so the team would be better," said Caulkins. "We feel that once you instill your players with confidence that they can win. Then you make a giant step toward building a good program."

Rookies Rise

Inexperienced team fills -big shoes

" It was a great season. We started with an unexperienced team and ended with a high level volleyball team," said Mr. Oehlerking, coach of the girls Varsity Volleyball team, the team had a record of 22 and 7.

The success of the team was a surprise to many. After last year's team, "people expected more." They lost a lot of experienced starters last year, and had to fill some big shoes this year.

The girls got off to a good start at the beginning of the season. They had eight wins out of eleven games at the Bellevue Invitational. At the River City Classic they lost three games. Two of them were against Omaha Gross with scores of7-15, and 8-15.

"I guess we gave it our best shot," commented senior Mary Augustine.

Towards the middle of the season things didn't slow down much. With only a few setbacks with losses only to Northeast, Southeast, and Norfolk, the team unity was good, but it only got better.

"Beating Northeast when they were rated number one," said Shannon Jessen, was the highlight of the year. "The team was really up for the game," Jessen said.

Toward the end of the year things started to slow down a bit. They lost a match to Southeast only to come back and beat the Knights 15-0. They beat Lincoln High at districts with their eyes closed, only to return the next night to play Northeast Northeast won with scores of 12-15, and 5-15, and to take the district title.

The season wasn't yet over for the Spartans. They earned a wild card birth into the state finals. They played North Platte in the first round. They won th~ first game by eight, but fell behind to lose the second game by five. North Platte then went on to beat the Spartans 16-14 in the final match.

Underclass talent

Balanced teams equal co-city titles

"We had a lot of team unity, • and did a lot together," said Lisa Covault about the reserve girls volleyball team.

That team unity might have paid off for the team. Although the girls dropped their first two games to_Southeast and Grand Island, the girls came back to compile a 10-5 record.

"I knew it would be tough to win the city tournament.We had lost to Southeast once and beat them once so you could see that we were evenly matched," said Covault.

East played well and won the city title which capped off a good season.

For the sophomore girls it was more of the same. Losing some early

matches brought the team together and gave them incentive to work harder.

"We played OK but not to our potential during the beginning of the season. However, we really played well at the end of the season," said Jennifer Bailee.

The sophomore team put together a 10-4 record by using a balanced team against opponents.

"We really didn't have a standout player, we played well as a team. We all had our days, and everyone got chances to play," said Bailee.

Varsity rises _ to #2 in state rankings but then falls in districts

The varsity basketball team had a rocky season. Not being picked in the pre-season top ten left the Spartans with som~thing to prove. They did just that in winning their first six games, and moving all the way up to number two in the polls. But they lost their next four straight, and fell out of the ratings.

"In the beginning of the season we played real well together and won some big games. But things fell apart, we had a lot of injuries and sickness, and we lost some," said senior Chris Costello.

The Spartans were without senior . big man Sam Snyder for the Burke, Northeast, and Lincoln High games, leaving them considerably weaker inside.

The East High reserves wrapped up the season with an 11-5 record and showed flashes of how talented next year's team will be.

"I felt our biggest win of the year was against Norfolk. We thought they were going to be really tough like their varsity, but we came in there and blew them out," quoted Dan Lundak.

The reserves finished third in city competition only posting a win over Lincoln High. "The season was full of ups and downs, but we had some crafty players that kept the team in good spirits and proved us to be a dominating force towards the tail end of the season," said Lundak.

The reserves were led by the sophomore tandem of Jim Edwards and Matt Yost in the scoring category. "It was tough for the three sophomores to swing because we didn't get to play with reserves a lot. It was hard to get in a good rhythym playing with both teams," according to Matt Spethman. The sophomore jolted to a 9-3 record for the season and claimed the city championship.

Surprise Package

Basketball team upsets state champs

Southeast in district final

A trip to the state finals for the • varsity girls basketball team, was something most people weren't expecting.

"Considering how many starters that graduated last year, and how people expected us to do, you'd have to say this season was a success," said senior Cindy Peterson, the only returning starter from the '87 championship team.

The defending state champion girl's team was not even picked as a preseason top ten contender.

"We had to get used to playing with each other," Peterson said, "since most everyone was new and didn't have the experience."

"That would be tough. "-Coach Strain

"We started out pretty slow/ senior Natalie Sime added, "but towards the end of the season we were playing a lot better."

The new three-pointer helped the girls team a lot this year in some tight games, according to Sime. In the Burke game, three-pointerskeptEast~live. East won the game by six. After losing the first time East played Lincoln High, they pulled out a victory in overtime by only three points. That wasn't it, however, their next game would be against LHS again, and again it would go into overtime. This time senior Mary Augustine hit a three-pointer at the overtime buzzer to win the game by one.

"Everyone was surprised. It was the only three-pointer she shot all year, and it was such a big one," Peterson said, "that game gave us a lot of confidence going into the Southeast game."

East met numbeer one rated Southeast in the district final. The Spartans upset them in a close game4 7-41, and won the district championship.

East went on to beat Kearney in three overtimes at state, but lose to eventual state champs Lincoln Southeast in the semi-finals. East finished the season fifth in the state.

Girls' teams grow

Sophomore and Reserves gain experience

The girls sophomore and reserve basketball teams both had exceptional seasons. The reserves compiled an impressive 14-2 record, while the sophomores finished 7-5.

The sophomores, under new coach Mike Anderson, got off to a fast 61 start, but lost four of their last five games, with some key players out due to injuries

Leading scorer Kim Lefler tore ligaments in her knee in the close Southeast game, and was out the rest of the season.

"We started out real well," Coach Anderson said, "but we lost a lot of key players to injury. That really hurt us.""

Coach Anderson said the team learned early to play good defense, and that helped them in some games when their offense wasn't hitting.

The reserve team, also under a new coach, Karen Irvine, mustered a near perfect season. A balanced offensive attack was the key to their success.

State Champs

The time comes for Spartan swimfT1ing

"It's been a long time coming" were Coach Greg Fleming's words on the boys state swimming championship. The time had come for East to bring home its first ever state swim title.

Meanwhile, the girls team won their third straight city and Greater Nebraska titles 1 and placed seventh at state.

East overcame defending champions Lincoln Southeast when it counted, after losing by narrow margins all season.

"People were beginning to lose confidence in us, I think, after losing to thcqi so many times during the season," said senior Mark Graves. "But we all knew we could beat them, and we could wait til state. Having to wait made it all sweeter."

The state swim meet was host to a number of new school records, too. Stef Seaman bettered her own record in the 100 backstroke to 1:01.23. The girls 400 free relay of Christina Usher, Leigh Saffer, Shannon Andersen, and Jen Balke cracked a year-old record with a 3:51.05, a seventh place finish.

Thinking hard. Pondering on line-ups is Coach Fleming before the conference meet. The meet brought another conference trophy for the girls team, and left the second place guys with two more weeks 6f waiting.

For the guys, the medley relay of Dctve Jannike, Ben Mason, Tom Krause, and Mike Gruber shattered the old mark by clocking a 1:40.36 in a second place finish at state. Dave Peters set a new 60 freestyle record with his first place 21.36.

Sophomore Jason Bauman scored 469.25 points, bettering his own year-old record in one meter diving. Bauman placed second at state with junior Paul Larsen, third. Tom Krause broke his old record in the 100 fly with a 52.91 and a third place finish. The state champion boys 400 free relay of Dave Peters, Mike Gruber, Kyle Luthans, and Mark Graves crushed the old record with their All-American consideration time of 3: 12.53. Also to be considered for All-American were Mindi Moore, Paul Larsen, and Jason Bauman all in diving, Graves' 100 freestyle and •Peters' 50 freestyle.

"Winning conference and city three years in a row was a great way to finish a life of swimming," said senior LeighSaffer. "Wetookasmanypeople to state as we thought we would; we just didn't finish as high as we would haye liked. It was great being there sharing it with the guys."

"It's a great tribute to Coach Fleming. He took a bunch of us that had a little talent and a lot of potential, and each year made us better, bringing the dream of a state championship a little closer," said senior Dave Peters. "In just four years he coached a team to the school's first-ever team championship. There is no one who deserves it more, and there's not a better coach in the state."

"Winning the state title is one of the best experiences a person can have. I don't think it could have happened to a team or coach who wanted it more," sophomore Mike Gruber said.

Young Team

Strives but falls short

The Lincoln East gymnastics team "had a spectacular season," according to head coach Dave Eppert. "I was extremely pleased with their progress this year. They had to be as good as the previous years to keep the tradition going, considering they were mostly freshman and sophomores, that's a tough image to live up to."

Eppert said the boy's team picked up where they left off last year with eight lettermen returning from last year's team. According to statistics the boy ' s team scored higher than ever before under Coach Eppert. "The boy's team reached a peak early in the season, but were plauged by illness and injury throughout the rest of the season and were not able to improve as much as they had hoped," according to Eppert.

Brad Bartek, a sophomore ,

broke two school records. Bartek scored a 9 .35 on the parallel bars, and a 53.55 in all-around in the state finals, shattering the old 51.5 set by Gary Timberlake. Bartel placed in the top ten in all individual events at state.

The girl's team was very young and inexpeJlienced losing four All-Americans from last year's statechampionship team left some big shoes to fill, but Eppert has high hopes. The girl's letter winners were Carrie Adams, Shannon Bryant, Anya Carlisle, Kristin Frenk, Carrie Gosnell, Annette Miller, and Marsila Pace.

So if "spectacular" was the word Coach Eppert used this year, to describe his team,the coming years will be something to be watching for.

Tough Compet iti on

Small CC teams make for long season

"It was a long season," said Al Linderman, the only senior on the boys squad this year, "We just didn't have enough people medaling to ever make a strong team showing."

The East High boys and girls cross country teams never seemed to get off shaky ground this year with three participants on the girls team quitting before the end of the season and the boys team without the services of one of last years top runners Tim Jung due to his transfer to Lincoln High .

"We might not have had a good season, but I think we had a lot of team unity and everybody worked hard; that will help u since we'll only lose one guy going into next years season," said Rod Apel.

Both teams suffered dissapointing fourth place finishes at districts which didn't qualify them for a spot at the state tournament. Although East didn't make it to state the boys team faced top competition in districts losing to Lincoln High and Southeast the eventual first and third place finishers at state. The girls team also faced a tough task at districts against top state tournament teams Lincoln High and Southeast.

Even though this year was a step down compared to last years performance Dan King sees the season his own way. "the whole goal of our season was to try our hardest and have fun at the same time and I don't see how anyone could be ashamed with trying their hardest no matter how you finish."

Coach Jim McConnel agreed and stated, "We obviously didn't do as well as I would have liked to but the team worked hard and that's all that I ask for."

This years season might lack a storybook ending but it certainly doesn't have to end on a bad note, and that's how the team looks upon this year and heads into next year. Think what you may but isn't that what spar• tans are made of.

Girl golfers rise above inexperience to post .consistent season

The girls golf team stuck together through thick and thin. Despite having many inexperienced players who have just started the game of golf, the team never finished last in a tournament.

"I was proud of the team, they all played to the best of their capability," said Coach Jerry Trimble. In fact, East placed second in consecutive tournaments. They finished second to Southeast in the LPS tournament, and the Beatrice dual.

Although the team didn't qualify for state, they flourished throughout the season.

"We had some meets where more than a couple of people were shooting much better than I expected," said Trimble.

It takes a steady hand! Marci Butler rolls in a put for a hard earned par. Butler was one of the many sophomores on the team.

Kim Kleager led the golf team as a medalist in numerous tournaments. Along with being East's only medalist Kim just missed the cut for the state tournament by placing 11th at districts.

"I felt really good about this year, I just went out there to have fun," commented Kleager.

Coach Trimble agreed. "I had a good time and I hope the team did too."

East will field an almost new team next year, with oniy two returning letter winners Marci Butler and Heidi Monnich, but Coach Trimble expects a lot of new players to try out.

Trimble encourages more people to go out for the team, saying, "Golf is a four letter word for fun."

Strong Season

Finishes short at state

It was a disappointing ending to a good season for the boys tennis • team. The boys team finished fifth at the state tennis meet at Dewey Park in Omaha.

• The Spartans were right in the middle of the hunt after the first day, despite losing their number one singles player, Andy Stock, in the first round. Despite the setback, East was still mathematically able to win the title heading into the semifinals, but everything had to happen just right

"Everything that was supposed ·to happen turned out wrong," said junior Brad Bemthal, "Creighton Prep and Kearney looked to be in the drivers seat, and we still had an outside shot, but everything went down the toilet"

Both doubles teams for East lost in the semifinals, and Rick Stempson, a sophmore number two singles player, was the only one to

advance. Stempson then beat topseeded Tim Naprstek of Millard North to make it to the finals.

After Stempson defeated Naprstek, head coach Jeff Rohan said, "We are going to have a number two singles champion.''

Stempson backed up his coaches words by winning the finals in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. "I feel pretty confident going into the finals, after beating Naprstek. I knew I just had to play my best game," Stempson said. Stempson was named the team's MVP for his gold medal in the city championship and state tournament.

The East Junior Varsity had a season record of 6-1 and placed second in the LPS Championships.

The diversity among students activities reflected on the wide range of people that made up East High. From scuba diving in the Bahamas to riding camels in Egypt, and from managing the doughnut stand to volunteering with the handicapped, students were completing yet another page in their life's story. •

Over the years as people have walked down the halls at East, one sees all the old friends from years before, but one also notices the unfamiliar faces. New students, teachers, and foreign exchange students brought a new light of life to

East by bringing unique and different ideas to mix with the old ones that were already established.

A group consisting of six kids, Mrs. Sattler, and Dr. Krause, our new principal, have together started a group to aid new people who have just entered East.

"We thought it would mean more having willing and supportive students rather than just people assigned to the job, to welcome the new students. We want to make a difference," said new junior Heather Gray. This group helped "break the fall" for people having to leave their old schools, and to give them a chance to learn about everything East has to offer

"The people I have met are open-minded, agreeable, and willing to help out anytime they are asked," said Davide Fregonose, an exchange student from Italy.

All different in looks, styles, and backgrounds, the students at East expressed themselves everyday and in the most original ways. Striving to meet their personal goals, students set out to "Turn the Page" to new and exciting experiences.

Hmmm Diligently working to meet an important yearbook deadline are Deb Cramblet, Kerri Lovitt and Amy Peirce. The picture was taken by Kyle Luthans while kickin' back.

Wick burns candle at both ends

Defying tradition at East High, individualist Matt Wickless became the first male cheerleader for the Spartans.

Wickless confidently took on the role of varsity cheerleader, despite a great deal of controversy. However, once the year began, he felt the majority of students had come to accept the idea of a male cheerleader. Many East Students developed a positive attitude toward Wickless after watching him cheer at games and pep ralleys.

"I really admire his determination," stated senior Michelle Venter.

Wickless also displayed his leadership abilities as state president of DECA.

"DECA has taught me a great deal of professionalism," he remarked. Wickless took charge of the DECA Doughnut Stand, working two hours each morning before school. He introduced new products to the doughnut stand and placed strong emphasis on •advertising and promotion. A fifty percent · sales increase resulted.

DECA also provided Wickless with the opportunity to travel to the National DECA Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he campaigned for national president .

Wick.less admitted it was often hard to divide his time between cheering and DECA However, he found the two activities were related in some ways.

"Getting out and cheering for hundreds of people makes me feel more comfortable with crowds. This helps with all the public speaking I do in DECA," he commented.

Wickless said he planned to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and major _ in marketing. One day he would like to see himself in the senate.

"He seems to be the kind of person who has goals for his future and won't stop untill he achieves them," observed senior Robin Rooney.

Lifting heavy objects no pain for twosome

Although many students worked out in East's weight room, two outstanding weightlifters were Corey Nevels and Jerry Peterson.

Corey was on the wrestling team in : years past but now, as he puts it, "I do it form y health." Peterson, though, lifts for improvement in track and alternates between regular and advanced weightlifting classes.

In addition to working out at East, Nevels said, "I've been lifting consistently at the YMCA for the last seven months." On the same subject, Jerry said ~"I used to lift at home all the time until I started to come to East."

There are over 80 different senior high lifting records. Peter:son is in the Spartan 1000 Club and has been aiming for the bench press record for seniors (265 lb.). Nevels said that he aims morefor personal goals: "I don't get hung up on that (record) stuff."

Nevels doesn't think steroids are used much but does think they are a concern. In contrast, Peterson said, "I think it's spreading more and more; more kids want to get big (quicker)."

By Bill Heermann

Up ... Up! Corey Nevels starts into some military press repititions. This was only one of his warmups before lifting.

Go for it! Jerry Peterson works at some arm curls reps. Weight lifting was his way of keeping shape.

Twice the Riddles, double the jokes

If two h eads were better than one, th e n East had it made. East had thr ee se ts or- tw in s in the senior class alone

One of these three sets was the Riddl e brothers; Jason and Corey. These two were the only set of identical twins.

Corey and Jason were born on February 11, 1969 at approximately 11:30 a.m. and 12:03 p.m.

"I was born first and Corey was born two grunts later" said Jason. "After the doctor caught Jason," Corey explained with both hands in the air as if trying to catch a ball, "he put him in my mom's arms and went out to catch me."

In school Jason's and Corey's teachers found that the two were "Hell on Wheels" as Corey described. Over the years their teachers had tried to split them up if they had the same class.

"They would split us apart so we weren't near each other." replied Jason. "Yeah, they would usually kick one of us out of the class usually it was me!" added Corey. They had one class together last year and they both managed to stay in it.

The two don't look a whol e lot alik e th ese days, but a few years ago it was hard to te ll them apart . However, they do sound almost exactly alike.

"I've talked to Jason's friends on the phone for hours." said Corey, "and they thought it was him." "We don't look so much alike anymore, but back a few years ago you almost couldn't tell us apart. Now you can He's the one with the battle scars."

When the two looked more alike they switched identities once, taking each other's date for the night.

"It was quite fun," said Corey as he chuckled.

When asked if they would change anything in their lives if they could Jason commented, "Heck no, if I could live it all over I would positively have a twin!"

"Having a twin is a real bonus," added Corey. "You always have someone to talk to who is your own age."

But on the other hand, sometimes they do get sick of each other just 1ike any brothers would.

"He 's like a sm a ll child, you can't get rid of him. He's always there, " said Corey of Jason.

Though many poeple have more than one best friend Corey and Jason say their best friend is each other.

" Before this year we never shared friends." said Jason.

Do you believe in telepathy? Jason and

Corey do, sort of.

"When one of us is in real trouble we can tell usually," Jason said, " .like the time I sat at Mac ' s. I knew something was wrong, I could feel it. Later that night when I saw Corey he looked like a mess. Someone had beaten the stuffing out of him."

"When one of us got punished it was like both of us got punished," added Corey, "not just the one."

Jason and Corey have enjoy e d having a twin. Jason summed it up best when he said, "We be the studly twins!"

Not just window dressing

"It's taxing," commented Josh Gardner about his efforts to improve the Student Council window. "It's not only taxing mentally, but it is taxing physically and spiritually."

The Student Council Window Committee, made up of Josh Gardner and Andy Massey, did something special with the window. Instead of the usual Stu dent Council member pictures, the committee featured tribu tes to celebrities such as Bob Marley, Richard Nixon, Jimi Hendrix, and the Jackson Five.

Due to the change in the window, the committee had a lot of opposition from school administration and peers.

"We have had a lot of opposition from the administration, from our sponsor, and finally our peers-which hurt the most," said Andy Massey.

Another project of the committee was to select a student council person of the week. The selection was based on a wide variety of factors including personal hobbies, community involvment, and a special hiaku written by the person which describes themselves.

Busy at work The Student Council Window Committee members Josh Gardner and Andy Massey stood and thought about a new theme for the window. This was a new task that Stuco had started this year.

The only Student Council members who happened to be selected 'Student Council member of the week' were Josh and Andy.

" I think all of the hard work finally paid off because it is such a great honor to be selected for this prestigious award," said Massey.

Outdoors helps build Hinkley 's con fi dence

Last summer Matt Hinkley took part in a survival camp called Outward Bound.

The camp consisted of three weeks of su rviving in different areas of Utah. The first week consisted of Mountain climbing in the La Salle Mountains, the second week they hiked through a desert, and the last week the eight person white-water rafted down the Yellow river.

During this survival course the group carried everything on which they lived, a tarp to sleep in, a sleeping bag, and all of the food and water they could carry. To do this the group had a great challenge and learned self confidence.

"I learned confidence and my own abilities. By being challenged every day it helped me to learn how much I could take before quitting," said Hinkley.

When the group first arrived they had to do a one half mile run in the mountains to see what kind of shape they were in.

"We had to do a one half mile run and it was pretty hard because it was in the mountains and I wasn't used to the altitude," said Hinkley.

During the mountain hike there was a lot of danger involved, in fact one of his group slipped while hiking, and fell off a short

cliff which dislocated her shoulder. During the mountain segment of the trip the group learned repeling, and basic wilderness survival.

During the week in the desert the group went from a cold mountain-climate to a very hot desert.

" It was very hot in the desert. We would sleep in the day in our tarps and hike at night when it was cooler," commented Matt.

The final week, according to Matt was the best because," we could carry a lot of food in our rafts and it wasn't so tiring."

One of the main activities during the three week course was a three day solo. During the solo everyone had to go on their own. They had their tarp to sleep in, a sleeping bag and all they had to eat during the three days was nine small crackers and a box of i:_aisins.

" I spent the first day awake because there was a big rainstorm . I basically slept the second day because I was so tired from staying up all night the first day. The third day I went rock climbing and exploring because there was nothing to do," said Hinkley.

"At the end of the trip we had to do a six mile run and it showed how much better shape we were in mentally and ~hy_sically from when we began. At the begmnmg we

could barely run a half mile but at the end we did six," explained Hinkley.

Something for nothing: Volunteering

"At first I was kind of mad I had to do all that volunteer work, but it ended up being all right because it was pretty fun," said Craig Workman about his volunteer work with the YMCA basketball team.

Every senior in the district is required to take a class called Citizenship Issues. One of the requirements of this course is to complete twenty hours of volunteer work for a nonprofit organization. The volunteers did everything from working at the Community Playhouse to stuffing envelopes for a political party.

"I checked the phone numbers of those who had voted Democratic to see if they were still the same," said Bill Heenriann.

According to Mike Anderson, Citizenship Issues teacher, "the work ·is potentially rewarding if you work face-to-face with people."

Anderson dido 't think that paper work was as rewarding to the student, "but all work is somewhat beneficial to the community."

"In the beginning, the students complain a lot because of all the work, but when they finish I get positive feedback from both the students and the community," said Anderson.

Condensed Version

How would it feel to wake up the morning of senior graduation, June 5, 1988, with the realization that your junior year had suddenly vanashed into thin air? Some might feel their prayers had been answered, others might feel a sence of loss or regret

This forfieture of junior year experiences and growth was one of choice for senior Jennifer Volland.

Volland found herself bored and unchallenged in her junior level classses. After conferring with Mr. Arthur, Jenny decided to "just skip it!"

Volland "passed go" and advanced to the class of' 88. But, this decision did have its pros and cons.

Volland knew she could not place the junior class on a shelf, and tried to continue her old friendships.

"It was hard for me at first and a bit difficult for my friends to accept the changes," she stated.

Other than "feeling a bit rushed" Jenny found the positive aspects outweighed the negative.

Graduating in 1988, Volland waived the new 170 hour credit requirement for this year's juniors.

With a major in commercial art and aminor in fashion merchandising, Volland anxiously awaited her freshman year at the University of Nebraska.

Volland had fond memories of her short but

sweet highschool days, but was anxious to move on. She exclaimed, "Highschool is the • best time of your life, but who's to say it can't be experienced in two years!"

A great place to start

On December 8, 1987, the world's leading super powers met in Washington to sign a peace treaty eliminating 2,000 missiles. Despite the many signs of reduced tensions and conflicts the number of students at East that considered military service did not decline.

Jeff Maxon, for example, was interested in the army. He said, "It is the best option I can think of after graduation because I can't afford a college tuition even with financial aid, but the GI Bill will give me a big chance."

The military seemed to offer students a lot, such as promotion opportunities and low-cost life insurance to name a few.

Although it had a lot to offer Kyle Cavalari was a bit reluctant he said, "I think the army is nice for some people, but I wouldn't wa,nt to be committed to the service for four years."

In all the confusion some teachers were willing to give some comments from their experiences in the army. Mr. Trimble was very proud to say that he had served two years in the Tank Corp. He was drafted in 1953, but says he learned a lot from being a radio operator.

"I feel that one problem with the country is that there is no draft so many people ar~ n3i getting the survival skills that are needed in today's world." Fortunately the GI Bill helped him receive his teaching degree.

The Marines were looking for a few

proud men and women and it looks like they found some at East.

Senior applies for humanities grant

In late October, senior Kristin McIntosh applied for a grant given by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The grant was open to undergraduates of high school and college, which meant there were many applicacions submitted.

The winner would be given $1800 and work with a humanities scholar for nine _ weeks during the summer. If given the grant, McIntosh would be working with Humanities, Expository, and Creative writing teacher at East, Dr. Anne Cognard.

McIntosh proposed to study the origin and evolution of language and how it relates to intelligence.

According to McIntosh, the application was "detailed and long". "I mailed it at about 11 :45 p.m. downtown the day that it was due."

As for future plans, McIntosh said she would like to attend a college back east that offers strong English and Humanities courses.

"I really like c~eative writing more than expository writing. I want to become a professional writer," she explained.

Setting her goals early put McIntosh a • step ahead of other seniors and provided her with opportunities to gain experience in her future career.

The "most refined unit," as Bob Wenger put it, of the East High marching band was the drumline.

"We're the tightest (knit) group;" he said. "We practice so much."

Aside from regular practices during the school year, they attended several camps over the summer.

"Two weeks after school got out, we had two-a-days here in the East camp, and later we went to the NU drum-camp," John Lefler stated.

Horsemanship

The smell of the horse manure wafted through my nostrils as I got out of the car. After driving twenty miles throgh rural landscapes, passing fields with unfamiliarlooking animals in them. I noticed houses that were so far apart that next-door-neighbors had to walk a mile just to bo(l'Ow a cup of sugar or to say "Howdy!".

This was where I found junior, Kindra Smith, spending her free time at the Yankee Hill Equestrian Center. Kindra was a dressage rider and has been for the last three years.

"It's fun riding, some days things will go real smooth with the horse you're riding, and then some days it's an uphill battle with the horse." said Kindra while she prepared her horse for its workout. From brushing the horse's body with several different combs to cleaning the mud from under the horse's hooves, Kindra worked diligently to make her horse the beauty of the stable. •

"I haven't competed for very long because of all the training involved in equestrian riding, but this last summer I got seriously involved in the competitions." she said.

Even with her job at Amigo's, school, and her singing activities in Chamber Choir and Singers; Kindra still finds time to go out to the barn four or five times a week to take lessons and help care for the horse she rides

"Although riding horses gets to be very expensive, I enjoy it and hope to become a very competant rider," she said with a grin before she started doing her chores after her ride with the horse. Those expenses include buying boots, the proper clothes, and lessons not including buying the horse and the fees the barn charges for boarding,

After doing aii her chores, we left with all the cats, dogs, and geese making a rucus as we drove off down the rode back to civilization.

Troubled tonsils make strange bedfellows

Over Christmas vacation many East students spent their free time shopping, messing around or just having fun, but not Robin Rooney and Jenny Allamby. On Dec. 28 they underwent twin tonsillectomies, one after the other, with the same doctor performing both operations.

During their overnight stay in the hospital, Robin and Jenny had neighboring rooms.

"When friends came in to see Jenny, she would bring them in to see me," said Robin.

To console each other, Jenny sent Robin a balloon and vice-versa.

"Everyone said they knew how I felt," explained Robin, "but Jenny really understood the pain because she went through the exact same thing.

"It was comforting to know that one of my best friends was there and I wasn't alone."

A futur e in photography

Although many East senior high students worked in jobs that were unrelated to their intended future careers, one student was taking an early step toward her career. Junior Anne Erickson spent some of her free time working at Barry's Famous Photo Lab in the Edgewood Shopping Center.

For links with her future career, Anne said, "I want to be a free lance photographer for either National Geographic or Audubon Magazine." Besides working, she practices free lance photography in her spare time.

When asked about what her job required she replied, " I mainly help develop color negatives and help run the register." All of the methods were learned while working and no special qualifications were required when she first got the job.

Probably the only downfall to the job was that no East students worked at Barry's with her. "A number of Southeast graduates work there with me," she stated.

So while the rest of us are being grocery sackers, waitresses, and working at the various fast food establishments, we can all think of by working towards her future career at Barry's Famous Photo Lab.

On the job Arine Erickson records a name on a roll of film. By working at Barry's Anne hopes to one day have a photography career.

Gardner goes for spotlight

"I just love to be a perfonner, either Broadway or Hollywood, whichever_comes first," were the optimistic and confident words of junior Erin Gardner.

Gardner portrayed a truly wellrounded individual, excelling in most of the perfonning arts. From dancing to singing and from drama to piano, Oardner has put her talent to good use.

Since the age of four, when Gardner first participated in drama at the Community Playhouse, she has been in about twenty major theatre productions, including Annie at the Pinewood Bowl, the summer of 1987, in which she played the part of Pepper, the oldest orphan: In 1982, Gardner was seen in.To..Kill A Mockingbird. where she played the part of Scout and was nominated for best actress when she was only ten.

Plays were not her only chances to act. Films, a T.V. series, and reporting for 10/ 11 News were experiences which enhanced her well-rounded background. With all these productions, sacrificing her time and other activities was an essential.

However, Gardner replied, "I don't regret it for a minute."

Gardner danced for both the Lincoln City Ballet Company and took lessons at the University where she studied jazz, tap, ballet, and modeme. Eleven years of dancing and ten years of piano lessons left her busy enough _ without adding her four years of private voice lessons and three years of private acting lessons to top it all off.

As for the future, Gardner's only dream is "to be discovered."

"I want to be able to have a practical career to fall back on in case my dreams don't come true, but I always want to be at least

perfonning on the side like I do now," Gardner stated, sharing her plans for the coming years.

A content and satisfied smile spread across her face as she explained, "There's nothing in the world I'd rather be doing. It makes me happy."

Singing his way to the top

"Some people listen because there's nothing else for them to do, but I listen to the chord progressions," exclaimed junior Rob Watson, in reference to his appreciation for music.

Watson comes from a musical family wh ich certainly influenced his decision to make music the core of his life style. Both his mother and his father have directed church choirs, both sing and while his mother plays various instruments and has directed three bell choirs, his father specializes in the trombone.

"I don't even know all the instruments my mom knows how to play," stated Watson in amazement.

Despite the natural tendancy you would expect for Watson to be musical, he has surpassed the normal expectations. Starting in ninth grade, Watson was involved in Spartan Singers, chorus, and wind ensemble. His sophomore year was filled with chorus, vocal solo coaching, and music theory All this dedicated work payed off his junior year when he was selected for Singers and Swing Choir. With this kind of a schedule, an athletic person as he was, had to decide if he was willing to give up being in all the sports he had been in before.

However, he was happy with his decisions to pursue music.

As he stated, "Music's the only thing I've been able to do well and do well consistently; year round. Inever take a break from music."

Outside of the classroom, Watson has put his talent to practical use. During the summers of 1986 and 1987, Watson attended two different music camps. As a result of many hours of practice and a love for his music, Watson has been accepted to five honor

to major in business.

"I'm always going to sing. I don't need a music degree because I'm not going to teach, I'm going 10 perform That way I'll have something to fall back on," explained Watson. "Music is an art to me!"

Hoke is it

Busy schedules were not uncommon with several students, but one student seemed to do it all. With a sport in every season, sophomore Eric Hoke, also made time to hold down a part-time job, and remain on the honor roll.

Taking two weeks out of Decmber, Hoke traveled down to the Bahamas to receive training to become a certified scuba diver.

"Everything I trained for paid off down there I got the real experience of diving."

After returning hqme, Hoke attended four months of classes and lectures to get the actual license to scuba dive.

Hockey was also something Hoke enjoyed. Hoke first learned to play at the age of six in Charleston, West Virginia. His team traveled around to nearby states. Hoke started

playing for the Omaha Knights when he moved to Lincoln in 1986. Recent! y Hoke was moved up to the advanced hockey team.

"The coach was supportive and thought I could play with the older guys, so he moved me up."

While on the advanced team, Hoke ended up with the most assists and goals.

Two sports that Hoke played were with East. One of which was on the varsity baseball team. Hoke felt he was lucky to play on the varsity team as a freshman, but was glad he had the chance.

''The whole experience was great! The coaches, the team, everything."

The most important to him though was playing on the sophomore football team. The team won its second City Champs title in

a row and even did so with a new coach.

"Coach Gering made us love playin f as a team, and that brought us to play bettei together."

Hoke spent two days in the hospi ta recovering from a spinal injury that occure< during the Grand Island game. The inj llf) unfott unately f aused him to miss out on t ht: next two games. He started again for th e Lincoln High game.

Spartan Scout meets world at Jamboree

Along with merit badges, camping trips and other fun the Boy Scouts of America brings, this year brought something extra special for Kevin Pond. The East sophomore got to attend the 16th Boy Scout WorldJ amboree in Australia, forty miles outside Sydney.

The World Jamborees are .held once every four years in participating countries. The requirements aren't hard: "You had to be between 13-18 years old and have earned the First Class rank," Kevin related. He left Lincoln Dec. 19 and spent Christmas with an Australian host family.

Starting Jan. 1, Kevin was in for ten days of "camping out with the world. We also toured Sydney, Melbourne, the Australian beaches, and New Zealand." In addition, they held a relay race-through the mud.

"I never swam in 4 ft. deep mud before," he reminisced.

In all, approximately 14,000 Scouts attended from about _ 90 different countries, although no Communist countries were represented.

"In some foreign countries, Scouting is co-ed," Kevin remarked.

There were no language barriers, either. "Almost everyone there spoke English; some spoke French," Kevin said.

However, not all of the Jamboree went smooth! y. On the second to last night there, "we had a bad storm, not far from a hurricane (in severity). It blew down most of the camp."

In spite of that, "I thought it was neat meeting people from all over the world."

Pep Club offers a lot for new sophomore

"Hot, so hot, we are so hot! We're taking on the challenge of being number one! Because we 're hot, so hot, we 're totally HOT!"

Irene Paul, one of East's most spirit Pep Club members, ranks this as her favorite cheer. Irene was new to East this year as she moved from Waseca, Minnesota, last August.

"I like to let people know I like East,' ' she says. "I chose it-it's a great place to be."

Whether to become an Apollonaire or a cheerleader, however, is a decision Irene hasn't yet determined. She did feel that Pep Club was an important step toward becoming one or the other.

"It's really important for becoming a cheerleader because you need to learn the responsibility. Most people don't realize how much work is involved in being a cheerleader."

Paui usually attended two or three school events a week, and she said pep club members should try to attend at least two events a week. Paul also felt that drama devents and speech tournaments could be supported by pep club members.

"If I could change one thing about East's spirit," she said, "it would be that more •people would show up to support the minor sports.

"Showing pride in your school is the way I define school spirit."

Super soph makes state grid squad

If Matt Spethman were to write his high school summary as a sophomore, it would sound like this .... Varsity Basketball, Varsity Football, Varsity Track, All-State Football Team. Not your average sophomore.

"I expect the most out of myself in football," said Spethman. ''That's the one thing I work for the most"

The upperclassmen treated Spethman just like any other teammate, he said. Some were even impressed with how well he played

Senior member Jeff Jrunes said," As long as he could contribute to the team, as he always did, it didn't matter if he was a sophomore or even a freshman. He (Matt) is good."

Trying to fill the shoes of his older sister Ruth who helped East to state titles in basketball and volleyball, Spethman found it somewhat difficult to top her accomplishments.

"Ruth inspired me and I'll always be proud of what she achieved."

As a freshman, Spethman made the varsity track team and ran in the 800, 1600, and 3200meter relays.

"Mr. Eyth has been a real special influence," Spethman said. "He motivated me to try my hardest and as a result I've improved, not only physically but mentally."

When basketball tryouts began, Spethman hoped to make the reserve team. Instead, Spethman started on reserve and also made the varsity team.

"I was suprised," said Spethman, "but I'm glad I've got the experience of playing varsity ball."

Not many people can say they've accomplished most of their high school goals as a sophomore, and although Matt Spethman has more goals ahead, he has achieved a great deal to prove he's not just an average sophomore.

Sugar and spice, and everything nice. That's what little girls are made of. Well, maybe not in this case.

Talent, ability, and drive are what helped sophomore Nikki Stricker in her first year at East.

Although Stricker wasn't exactly new to East. She lettered in volleyball, basketball, and track at East while attending ninth grade as a student at Pound Junior High.

"It was nice not to be totally new to East like some of my friends," Stricker said. "Knowing some people already helped, too."

If Stricker keeps up this pace, she will become the first twelve-letter winner in East's history.

Besides playing sports, Stricker also sang in the Chamber Choir.

"I really enjoy singing, and being in the group is like having a second family because all the upperclassmen really try to make the sophomores feel welcome."

In fact, singing was the reason Stricker chose not to attend East as junior high student. She preferred, instead, to sing with the Pound Swing Choir.

On top of all that, Stricker was a member of Student Council and the sophomore class president.

"It's a great responsibility, but I enjoy the challenge and am glad that my classmates have so much faith in my abilities," she said.

No one doubted that Stricker had sufficient quantities of sugar and spice, but quite a few suspected she had a few snips, snails, and puppy dog tails too.

Straight talk. John Stuart discusses his experiences with drugs. Drug abuse was one of the subjects covered in a new Families in Crisis class. _

A cry for help is heard

Sexually transmitted diseases, drug and alcohol abuse, pregnancy, and stress: these are just some of the many problems East students found themselves dealing with.

Fortunately, a few teachers at East recognized these cries for help. They gathered teachers from Lincoln High, Northeast, and Southeast and designed a new course called Families in Crisis to give students information to cope with their problems.

One of the teachers that contributed was Mrs. Beeson.

"The whole objective for this class was to teach students lifelong skills in coping with different problems," she said, "and let them know where they can go for help."

The subject of AIDS was a major concern for some students.

"I really didn't know the facts about the disease," explained Shannon Pike, "but now I know what it does and how to prevent it Th ,tt helps."

Another subject covered was how t ) relieve stress. John Stuart remarked, "I don t let things get to me anymore like I used to. I' v started doing more things for myself so I ca 1 be more relaxed."

Debi Hom added, with a smile, "It > a really great class because we sit in groui ; and talk about our problems and be total l , honest. Nothing you say at that group leav ~ ; the group. We have a lot of trust in the who l ! classr~m."

Schaffer receives $25,000 grant

January 28, 1986, was to mark a "first" in space history. Christa Mcalliffe, a teacher from New Hampshire, was to be the firsl civilian in space. This special flight, however, ended in tragedy when it exploded, killing all, including McAlliffe, on board.

September 30, 1986, Jim Schaffer, head of theJ ournalism Department, received a phone call from Congressmen Doug Bereuter, informing him that he had been granted $25,000 in honor of McAlliffe.

"I was excited; thrilled!" said Schaf-

fer, ··it gives me a chance to do things I had only dreamed of doing."

To be eligible, each candidate had to be a teacher and submit a written proposal of what they would do with the award. Schaffer was one out of 30 teachers who applied for the Nebraska award.

Part of Schaffer's plan was to speak to schools statewide about the U.S. space program. He planned to speak to about 12,000 students in 75 schools across the state.

He also helped organize a community awareness program in North Platte. The program involved both schools and the business community.

Another hope for Schaffer is to take 40 kids from all over Nebraska to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this June, near the time of the next shuttle scheduled to take off.

Congress approved the Christa McAlliffe Fellowship last summer. The money came from the Department of Education. One teacher from each state for the next three years is to receive the award.

The junior high surroundings changed considerably with the presence of two new principals. Dr. Richard Krause, the Senior High principal, helped the students in many ways, from personal problems, to helping the Student Council. The new Junior High principal, Mrs. Linda Wyatt, always seemed to have time to help kids in any she coulq..

The school day was shortened this year by 15 minutes, which brought smiles to many faces. However7th, 8th, and 9th graders were angry when during second quar-

ter, they had to proceed to their 5th period class ten minutes early. This was caused by too much noise in the lower level.

New 7th graders found junior high both fun and exciting, and a great place to meet new people of both genders.

"I was really excited about going to East, and after going back to Morley for a visit, I feel more grown up," said Monica Breed.

Eighth graders found themselves more mature than the year before, and enjoyed not being the youngest. They also felt there was a stronger class unity, now that they know each other better.

"When I first moved here the school was so huge, and I felt out of place. But after the first few weeks, I met so many people it felt like I had never moved," said new 8th grader Laurel Gray.

As head of the class, 9th graders discovered this to be their best year yet, and are looking to niany more.

"Most people would think that going to the same school for six years would be very boring, but I think it's great because there are so many new things to do each year," said 9th grader Kara Martin.

Gummers, Ankle-Bitters, and Freshmen all mixed to make the Junior High something special at East.

~ingers promote school spirit

When you hear the words Spartan Singer, you probably think of East spirit And spirit it is, according to members of the Spartan Singers.

Spartan Singers consisted of Amber Lisee, Andrea Woodburn, Becky Lowry, Lisa Carlson, Carrie Jahde, Kara martin, Kristin Ediger, and Liz Cognard. The guys were Ron Royer, Ben Hinkley, Cam Sneddon, Andy Shell, Shawn Peirce, Michael Nast, Jeff Gutkin, and Colin Smith.

Getting into the group was very hard. There were three things to do. First, you sing "My Country 'tis of Thee" acappella, then numbers and rhythms, and finally narrow it down from there by everyone singing in groups.

Being a Spartan Singer was challenging but also a lot of fun. Or as Andrea Woodbum put it, "Performing is a blast!"

Tours were also a part of being a Spartan Singer. Places like Gateway, senior centers, women's clubs, and even the Governor's Mansion were all palces the Spartan Singers performed.

Jazz, ragtime, Broadway, and contemporary were some of the styles of music they sang.

What would East have been like without Spartan Singers? "Boring," explained Andrea Woodbum. "School needs a swing choir; it promotes school spirit."

Council focuses on cans, dance$, and litter

Student Council planned five dances and the 9th Grade Promotion.

Not only did they sponsor dances, but they planned a drug campaign, tried to make the school cleaner with more trash cans, and urged students to stop vandalism.

Attending the State Convention was one of the many opportunities some of the members had. At the convention, they attended workshops and mini-sessions. Becoming successful and learning how to communicate with others were some of the topics covered, but they all related to the choices of life.

"It's a lot of hard work, but if pays off. It's a lot of fun," explained Hannah Hathcock, a ninth grade StuCo member.

But what WAS Student Council?

According to Kara Martin, it meant developing leaders from the student body and helping the junior high accomplish things during the school year.

The sponsor was replaced again this year by Paula Buckner.

"This year's Student Council is a motivated group that is working hard together to better all school situations and activities for the junior high at East," she said.

Seventh grade members were Kirsten Bernthal (Parlementarian), Monica Breed, Allison Krause, Amy Lee, Addie Reed, and Erin-Ann Scott.

The eighth graders included Heather Babcock (Recording Secretary), Gigi Haase, Andy Krause, Greg Lundstrom, Liz Ring, and Heather Zinsmaster.

The ninth graders were Jill Daubert (Corresponding Secretary), Dawn Dvorak (Parlementarian), Hannah Hathcock (Treasurer), Kara Martin (President), Cam Sneddon, and Andrea Tropp (Vice President).

Talent show fills in for dance; Tappers take top prize

And now, ladies and gentlemen, East Jr. High presents talent night! The night when any junior high student could show his or her special talent. To an audience of around 200 people, fourteen different acts showed what they felt made them or their group talented.

"It gave the students, the opportunity to perform in front of an audience," said new junior high principal, Linda Wyatt. The talent show idea replaced a dance a scheduled dance that could not be -held because of difficulties. The student council felt that it was a good idea and a change from the frequently held dances.

"Sometimes all the students think the student council does is sponser dances. This showed the school that we have other ideas," said 9th grader, Cam Sneddon.

After the last group had performed and the judges were counting the votes, the members of Spartan S,ingers performed for the crowd while they waited for the announce-

ments of who would win.

Prizes were given to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Placing 3rd in the competition was a group _ who mocked "The Richard Simmons Workout". Second place was given to a pair of dancers, Gigi Haase and Tina Gabrial. The winnersof the talent show were the "Tweedle Tappers".

"When the idea was first announced, I thought some people would take it as a joke, but every group that performed, took the talent show very seriously," said Merilee Fauble. Members of student council felt it should become a traditional junior high event, just . like "SNATRAPS" is for the senior high.

''I'm glad I got the opportunity to be involved in the organization of it. It was a good idea and it should be continued," replied MC, Cam Sneddon.

Favorite teacher sayings

You know how it is, the words seem to echo in your ears. The same words your teachers say almost every day.

For those of us who were lucky enough to be in Mr. Gingery's English class, the words, "Shut up or I'll squeeze your brains out," gracedourearsatleasttwicea week. Mr. G also informed at least one person a day that, "We'll work something out." •

Mrs. Herrmann seemed to be busy saying, "Easy breezy," and telling her classes, "I guarantee it." When asked why, she said these things, the teacher replied, "I say too many little sayings!"

Mr. Ficke perked up his science classes with his quotes-"Here's my story for today " and, "Alright, ladies and gentlemen

Anyone remember Mr. Gast telling us, "Don't tell your parents I said this," or, who can forget his telling us, "Don't sit on the tables!"

Mr. McPherren seemed content with "Hey big guy." He also brightened the day with "Now, when I was a lad "

Mr. Petri was often heard saying, "Sit down!" to someone. Or coming up to a person in the hall, for no reason, and announcing, "I know ii!" or "You're welcome."

Mr. Hoham and Mrs. Shuster loved or hated to say, "Please be quiet." Mr. Hoham also said, quite often, "Sit down!" Sound familiar?

Mr. Barrett was began many periods with "I pose this question to you " Ms. Bartels was heard saying, more often than not, "Pass up your T-notes."? And Mr. Schelert often grinned as he said,"Guten Tag Classe!"

Mr. Young's most memorable quote was, 'You dummy!" _ The reason Mr. Young said this? Mr. Ficke explained: "You lose your brain when you're a teenager."

Miss Penner's classes were often told, "It'll cost you 5 points!" or "Slo-mode is the seventh grade disease." She could've been right.

Mrs. Myles could be heard saying "It's easy peasy mommy," a few times. Meanwhile, in a distant classroom, far, far away Mrs. Mischnick was saying, "This is a wet noodle question."

Mrs. Wood seemed to like to hear herself say,"Stretch out, while I take role."

Last, but not least, who could forget Mrs. Reeder comparing herself to other teach..: ers and deciding, "They don't compare, because I'm beautiful."

Lights, cameras, action! Sound exciting? That doesn't even begin to measure up to the dramatic excitement two of the junior high plays brought

"A Mad Breakfast", directed by Heather Raikes and Amy Fredrick, was about hilariously practical Ms. Brown (played by Phillipa Cummings), who ran a boarding house where she somehow used her practicality to play a joke on everyone.

The play "Murder Is Fun", was directed by Jeff DeLong and Pat Walsh, This vibrant play reflected the common feelings of a son, a daughter, a maid; an ex-wife, and the fiancee of a famous composer named Alfred Clark. They all wanted to kill him. The maid wanted to kill him becausse she was going to lose her job, the ex-wife wanted to kill him out of hate, and the fiancee just wanted his money.

To tryout for these plays, students had to read certain scenes from the play and show off as much dramatic talent as possible. Once the actors and actresses for the plays were chosen, they had to put in long, hard hours after school everyday and on Saturdays for four weeks.

Some of these dramatically talented peopleintheplayswere: JennyNeidel,Shawn

You might think that some of these actors and actresses would suffer severe cases of stage fright, but, according to Ashesh Bastani and Kim Stock, "We were a little nervous, but we were more excited and eager right before the play. It went a lot faster than we expected it to."

"It was really fun and one of the best times I've ever had," commented Bastani.

So for those of you who are debating whether or not to try out for next year's junior high plays, Kim Stock says, "Even if you're not interested in the dramatic part of it, it is nice to meet and work with all the people.

"I wish I could be in junior high next year also, so I could do it again."

If the above experiences sound like something that would begin to interest you, clear your throat, rehearse some lines, and get ready for next year's great junior high plays!

Three classes combine to produce Grapevine newspaper

It may take two to tango, but it took three to put out the junior high paper, three different classes that is.

The Grapevine staff consisted of two different classes first semester and a single class second semester. ABout 75 students in all contributed to the paper during the year.

Students covered a wide range of topics beyond the normal school events. Sean McCarthy described the vast McSuccess of McDonald's, Lorraine Sullivan wrote about an East Junior High student from Jordan, and Andrea Woodburn covered a story about two students who turned a closet in their home into a phone booth.

Other students wrote about teen hotlines and remote control cars, about talented teachers like John Rogers and Jon Peterson, and about helping the hungry. Still other students wrote song dedications, horoscopes, and best people parts.

The biggest trouble with the paper was simply that it didn't come out very often. As Kara Martin put it, "It's informational, but it doesn't come out enough."

Sarah Campbell thought the paper was an improvement over the year before. "It's really well put together," she said.

Mrs. Wood said she loved the Grapevine: ''The personal profiles are especially good. I share them with my gym classes all the time."

The advisor for the paper, Jim Schaffer, said he hoped students learned how to improve their writing and how to be better informed on school issues.

"The students certainly know now how much work it is to put out a quality newspaper," he said. "I hope many of them will be interested in being on the senior high newspaper or yearbook staffs in the future."

Young ballerina keeps on dancing

Julie Bonrrett first started ballet lessons because her mother wanted her to take them. But now in her ninth year of dancing, ballet is something serious-and important to her.

Last Christmas, she played Clara, the lead in The Nutcracker for the second year in a row. She has also done several other productions, such as The Four Seasons, and Babes in Toyland. Currently, she is taking lessons from Shari Shell True, who is also directing The Nutcracker.

Ballet takes up much of her time, especially on weekends. Julie will spend as much as 15 hours a week practicing and taking lessons. Heavy practice hours are much of what makes her such a good dancer, but they can also take their toll. "Sometimes you get so tired during rehearsals that you just want to quit," she said.

But Julie hasn't quit, and plans to keep taking ballet through high school. One thing that keeps her going is the thought that without

ballet, she would have "nothing to do."

Hours spent on ballet leave her with little time for anything else. She quit the flute in order to have more time for her dancing, and will sometimes even put it before her homework.

Last summer, Julie spent three weeks at the Boston Ballet to learn, practice, and improve her danc ing. To get this opportunity, she .Ji.ad to audition several months in advance. She made it along with 200 other kids age 14 and up.

Even after considering all the time and effort she puts into her dancing, Julie thinks that her performances make it more than worth it.

JYO is in!

Many people probably asked what is JYO? Well, JYO is simply short for Junior Youth Orchestra.

The orchestra practiced Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at Pound Jr. High.

"JYO is challenging but fun," commented Liz Cognard. "It's a great feeling to be making music with people from different schools."

An audition must be passed to be in JYQ. You may pick a solo and the director gets to choose the scales.

And you may ask who directs these great performers? A person named William Roehrs.

"Mr. Roehrs expects us to learn and practice the songs on our own," explainer Andrea Woodburn, "and rehearsals are jusL basically touch-ups. Otherwise we learn it on our own."

The band consisted of 12 Spartans and many kids from other schools.

Carrie Jahde is turning and tuning

Swinging, singing, and synchopating described 8th grader Carrie Jahde. She was a member of the NSG gymnastics team, Spartan Singers, and Stage Band.

Most of the time, you could find Carrie at the NSG gym. She's been taking gymnastics for eight years, the last two on the team. When asked what area she achieves the highest in, her responsse was, "bars, definitely."

Considering the fact that there weren't :nany in her age group, Jahde felt that, "There's not much competition." You can count on finding Carrie on the varsity team at East next year.

Besides gymnastics, Carrie's also very involved in music. She is a member of Spartan Singers.

"I like it; it's really fun."

Carrie is also in stage band where she plays the trombone. Compared to being in Wind Ensemble, Jahde feels that stage band is more challenging and harder, but you "get a lot more done."

It's obvious from Carrie's activities that she's not just your ordinary 8th grader.

Have you ever noticed how each student "uniquely" decorates his or her locker? By the things that a person has in a locker, you can tell the things that person likes.

"My locker is smooth, sweet, and cool," explains Eric Stokes, "but it's too small."

Organized, messy, and decorated are just a few ways that students have their lockers. Girls tend to decorate their lockers more than guys. Pictures of guys, name brands, and musical groups are some things you can find in girls' lockers. If the guys do decorate, it's usually with pictures of girls, cars, and musi_ cal groups.

There are usually two or three people · in one locker. At times, a group of four will get two lockers and then share one and use the other as a coat locker.

"My locker's dead," commented Liz Cognard. "There's nothing in it because I keep changing lockers."

You can tell who has a messy or organized locker. If you see someone rummaging through their locker, looking for a pencil right before the bell rings, you can tell that they 're unorganized. There are also many who have an exact place for everything and can always get just what they want when they want it.

No matter what your locker looks like, has in it, or who it's shared with, it's still more than a place to stash your books. It's a way to make something stand for you.

"I live in my locker," summarized Shannon Dobson.

Fun, Friends, Friday!

The end of the week means the beginning of fun for the 8th graders at East. As Heather Stromburg puts it, "Party harty!"

Activities are wide in range. They can go from movies to just hanging out with your buds. Some of the popular things include movies, VCR's, bumming downtown, games, dances, and of course PARTIES! Or if there was a shortage of ca~h, then they stayed at home with their buds.

You could find lots of the 8th graders downtown. The prime hangouts were W .C. 's, Val's, and other food finds. Downtown also provided five movie spots: Plaza 4, Douglas 3, Cinema Twin, the State, and the Stuart.

Someone you usually could count on finding bumming the streets was the mystery singer. No one knew his name, but everyone knew him. He could often be found with his guitar and his new harmonica. This was actually his job. After all, "It's a way to make money."

Although sometimes scarce, everybody loves a PARTY! Melissa Johnson feels

that Friday nights "would be a lot more fun if there was a party every Friday night."

"Party with Barnaby Jones, " was Shannon Dobson's advice for Friday nights. Charity Ross's advice was to "enjoy RC Cola by the two liter bottle."

No matter what you were doing, Friday nights were a way to close the books, forget about your problems, and do nothing but have fun with your friends. The 8th graders bascically just wanted to PARTY!

By Stephanie Lauerman

Hangout W .C. 'sis where you can find lots of East students. Although the management is rather rude, students still come each Friday night.

Singing Man Chris is a professional musician. You can find him bumming the streets Friday nights waiting to make his money off of you.

Determination started it all

April Ohler is two in one: a gymnast and a diver.

April did gymnastics· for the Lincoln School of Gymnastics. She practiced once a week from 8:30-9:30 p m. on Monday nights April's best event was floor.

Most of April's diving was done through Meadow Heights pool. She got started at ag e 12 and received two gold medals in city tournaments. She planned on talcing diving at Nebraska Aquatics in the fall.

Being a gymnast "takes a lot of practicing snd time," April commented, but she said that "it's a lot of fun. I have my faults at times , but I keep working."

• April would someday hope to be a profe ssional but first would like to make the varsity team at East in her ninth grade year.

April was also very active in other activities as well, for example, biking and runnin g .

April got a lot of support and encoura gement from her parents.

" I just like to flip around!" she said when asked why she liked gymnastics.

"I hope to be a gymnast for a long time and hope to compete someday."

Whether it was a hobby, an enjoyment, or just for cash flow, many East High students held down jobs while going to school. To some, it filled something in their life, and to others it was a necessity to carry on with their school and social activities.

"I was lucky to have a job that I enjoy and have it tie into my hobby as well," said senior Dave Peters about his part time job at Fish World.

Having 'cash' was very important to many and meant that they'll have that money to buy the car, new outfit, or maybe just lunch for the next day. All of the students goals for buying things was an incentive to save their hard earned money.

"I basically save for emergencies, like when my car breaks down every two weeks in the winter, and the rest on weekends and for lunch everyday," said junior Amy Evans.

Whatever the reason, most students agreed that having a job was sometimes a pain, but when pay day rolled around it made working late nights and weekends worth it.

After knowing for months in advance, senior Shannon Bushing, who was employed at AAA Comhu ker Motor Club, knew she had to save her money from her nine to five job in the summer to get the car she wanted and to spend a week in Can Cun. "Knowing that I did it (earned the money), and was able to spend it my o'Yn way, made me feel that putting all that time into my job worth it." •

However the money was spent, students at East High filled another page in their life story and set out to fill another after each goal was reached.

Snack anyone? Having the privilege of open campus, these are jus t a few of the munchies snarfed down before 6th period Everything from a quick swing through home to grocery stores was what students countedonfornoonnutrition.

Memories

As early as January the countdown began. All students were eagerly awaiting June 2, 1988,-wheq_ everyone would move up another notch turning another page. Seniors were itching with the ever-famous 'senioritis' and even the teachers were ready for a break. Although much was accomplished throughout the year, many were glad when it was over.

"I'm super sad that I'm going to have to see my friends go off, but by past experiences I'll have many memories to laugh about and remember," said senior Julie Siedband.

Having new leadership at East also meant new rules and the 'detention center.' Although most students did not like the idea of having strict policies to follow by, teachers did see a change in the number of students in their classrooms; for the better. Mr. Salestrom saw fewer people walking out to the lot during class time also.

In addition to the twelve different varsity sports in which to participate, East had over twenty-five clubs and organizations to offer the students. The Speech & Debate team (alias L.E.F. T) had one of its best years ever. The team won

Conrad Birdie. The musical was held on November 14-16.

Students unite to create a great .year

many tournaments and sent three members to national competition. Junior Tricia Cheng said, " The team is still young, but with more experienced and talented team members, we had a strong season."

Of the many accomplishments in sports, the boys swim team highlighted the year with a first ever state championship. The girls volleyball and basketball teams went to state for the third year in a row.

The 87-88 year proved to be an outstanding one with outstanding students making their mark in every way. Although 354 seniors graduated, there are unwritt~n pages in the East High future that remain to be turned.

Much was changed through the past nine months, and although some changes seemed more dramatic than others, all will be recorded on the pages of our lives. Lane Van Ham summed up the year as "cloudy and overcast, but not bad enough to run around with a jacket on."

The halls of East are empty of people now, but they are filled with pages of lasting memories, ones which will last a lifetime.

Is this a pre-prom dinner? Is it a hot Friday night at Amigo's? No, it's the spring play, Tom Jones, one of the raciest plays to hit the East High stage, presented by the drama department on April 14th and 15th.

"The most impressive thing about the production was the closeness of the cast. We had to pull together towards the end because it was essential for the success of the show," commented Heather Gray, who played the female lead, Sophia.

The play concerns the adventures of an orphan in 18th century England who comes • iscover his true parents, his true love, and own real fortune.

"When playing Tom Jones, the male lead, it stretched my acting ability because of the extremes in the character's personality," stated Pat Walsh.

The play was difficult to pull off because it was hard for the actors and actresses to play all the adult parts, especially the 18th century parts. The characters were based on stereotypes and it was hard to be realistic. • "I had a good time and really benefitted personally from the experience. As a sophomore, I felt good about the time I invested because I met so many people that I had only heard of."

The play meant many things to everyone who was involved or went to a showing. To sum it up, the play was a success in many ways.

The

talents of the BO's Snatraps: The ninth annual

Masters of Ceremony Rad Dobson, Mere Foster and Michelle Smith shot off East's ninth annual Snatraps. The show consisted of the usual skits and bands.

"They had an eight minute time limit which most of the groups followed," added Rad Dobson when asked about the rules. The contestants were judged by a group of selected students. The criteria they were judged on were lipsynch, time limit, talent, originality, and personality.

There were two new talents shown:

East's award-winning Swing Choir performed as a "fill in" for a band that didn't end up qualifying and Alan Mota sang a solo, "Don't leave this way," which took first place.

First place was worth $25, 2nd place $20 and 3rd place $15. This year's winners were 1st, Alan Mota; 2nd, Fred Lepzen-which starred senior Dave Smith, and 3rd, The Shnylons-starring the Swing Choir boys.

"Come on gang, work with me " through the sore throats and finger blisters, the Expressions performers put on another spectacular show May 13 and 14.

Sponsor Jon Peterson explained just how difficult the performance was.

''The songs were chosen by the students," he said. "The dancers made up their own routines. The band practiced for three months to learn the songs and everything was done without sheet music. That means the performers listened to the song on a tape and memorized it from that."

There were a few things that made this show special. Jim Coder said, "This year's band was the best band because we were so compatible."

Dave Hinrichs felt that what helped was the organization. "We had 11 songs learnedy by the first week of practice."

Through thick and thin, another show came to a close. The curtain went down, the lights went off, and the "e" was stored for another 12 months.

New club combines old ideas to unite both political factions

East Wing

Censorship, South Africa, Central America, Education, and the Contra Controversey were just a few of the varied subjects that the newly formed club, East Wing discussed.

East Wing was formed by junior Tricia Cheng, who with some other supporters, felt that East needed a political club to channel the different political views into a constructive group.

"The club was formed to cover the entire political spectrum, although there are more democrats at this point, the club isnonpartisian and we are hoping to increase the size in the upcoming year,,, stated president, Tricia Cheng.

The new club consisted of thirty to thirty-five senior high students with an interest in being educated on different political topics. The idea for this club came from the weak-

nesses of Young Democrats and Young Republicans.

"East Wing is trying to make a strong political club that students can tum to for information on politics,,, said Kristin Guild.

East Wing sponsored many political forums where the student body was invited. The forums were irregular, but were in consideration of becoming biweekly.

East Wing also sponsors a newsletter to try to stimulate the growth of the group.

"The newsletter sums up the ideas of the past, present, and future events that are of concern to the students at East,,, said newsletter member, Derek Bolin.

East Wing had opened up the chance for anyone who was interested in politics to. involved.

Chilly weather fails to cool prom spirit

April Prom

Perfect spring weather, a pitch-black sky with twinkling stars, and blooming ~flower.s certainly did not provide the background for this year's Junior-Senior Prom. On the contrary, the mercury only hit 45 degrees!

The majority of the young "cinderellas" purchased untraditional, yet in-style, short dresses. By the end of the evening many girls were blue and shivering unless, of course, their escort kindly offered his tuxedo jacket.

But the out-of-season weather certainly did not take the warmth and fun out of the April 22 prom. Gaiety, smiles, and lots of dancing still provided the nostalgic prom atmosphere.

Junior Class President, Dave Hinrichs stated, "I trust everything will be in gear." It most certainly was.

The junior officers-Hinrichs, Dan Lundak, and Duke Daehling-took pride in presenting the prom. The theme was "Stairway to Heaven," and the lively music of"Jagg" filled the air and generated enthusiasm, excitement, and a frenzy of mad dance steps among the students.

Around 10 p.m. the tension began to

mount. Prom King and Queen were announced at 10:30. Crowned were King Chris Costello and Queen Gina Vitello. Royalty included Karie Kirkland and Mike Clare, Kim Oswald and Jason Riddle, Suzi Osborne and Michael Verhar, and Barb Nielsen and Tom Krause.

Queen Gina Vitello admitted her anxiety before the actual crowning.

"I could actually feel my heart pounding inside of me," she said. "It was such a neat feeling and a real honor to hear my name announced."

Memories of the Junior-Senior Prom will long bring smiles to the faces of most students. It was indeed an enchanted evening. For the seniors, the evening captured unforgetable memories of their last formal occasion as Spartans. The juniors, and some sophmores, were also caught in the spell of the lovely, romantic evening. All in all, everyone wished the festive night of fun and the good times shared with dear friends would never have ended.

New World Records initiated Jets dominate as usual

The intramural softball season was a well contested battle.

With 14 teams vying for the title, the season was sure to be a close one. The title was evenly contended by 7 teams.

The Factulty Jets proved to be the top team, by winning the regular season title at 18-1, with their only loss coming to Followers of Stoehr. The other top teams were Swabian Noodles at 14-2, Wired 13-4, Core 10-5, Vine Street Mission 10-6, Returning Home 10-7, and VIP at 8-7.

Faculty also claimed the "Big Ball" Tournament title. Other tournaments were the Texas Tournament, Consolation, and the Final

Four tournament. The home run leaders for the season were: Jeff Sass with 25, Duane Eichorn 25, Blaine Hester 22, Mark Irvine 17, Kevin Imig 17, Brandon Monnich 12, Travis Yelder 12, Steve Sprackling 12, Jerry Peterson and Jason Borkowski 12. There will be a Home Run contest labeled the "Sultan of Swat."

Rudy Stoehr has added a new dimension to Intramurals this year by starting a softball "Guinness Book of Records." Some of the contests include longest hit, .longest throw, fastest time around the bases, and most strikes thrown in a row.

Un i ty sparks g i r ls squad Track teams gun for state

"I think unity is the key word in describing the girls track team," commented senior Deb Bacon.

Most returning members of the team felt a strong sense of improvement. Organization · was one of the major changes for the better. Each practice began with a structured group work-out including a team stretch.

Team unity made the practices and meets more enjoyable.

The girls team improved much over the season and placed fourth at the Harold Scott Invitational.

Standouts for the team included hurdlers Deb Bacon and Barb Aberle, shotputters Marcia Daake and Michelle McQuistan, and sprinter Stephanie Miller.

The boys track team got off to a running start this season placing second at the city relays. Later they achieved seven personal records at the LPS meet in April. One of these seven was Andy Massey's time of 39.5 in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles, which also tied the school record. In addition to setting personal records, many members also set personal goals.

"My individual goal is to make state," commented junior Ryan Garton. "Qualifying for the two mile and 4x800 relay would be a great way to end the season."

Other team standouts include weightman Craig Workman, and jumpers Rob Watson, Ben Mason, and Greg Miller.

Pre-season expectations run high Riding the roller coaster

Starting the season with a number one ranking in the city, the East varsity baseball team began on a positive note with plenty of enthusiasm.

The first game, against Southeast, was a loss for East but created team unity that assisted in future victories. Senior member Jason Rau said, "The loss brought the team together because we realized what we needed to work on to win."

For the rest of the season, however, the team failed to hold on to a level of consistency. "We went from the best weekend play in East history to one of the worst defeats," said senior Jason Vercellino.

The high point for the team members was a win over number one ranked Omaha Burke, 11-8. Chris Costello enhanced the team throughout the season by leading the state in stolen bases.

Not only having the talent of playing the game but "adesiretowinandapositive mental attitude" is needed in baseball, according to senior Cory Vanderwege.

Varsity coach John Henry expected the team to be the best One varsity member said it was the coach who made the team really work hard.

" Chris Fleek was a leader to our team who brought the serious side out of us," said fellow team member Rad Dobson.

The main goal set by the reserves was to play to their full potential and go for the city championship.

The season did not work out as well as hoped for, so the team concentrated on improving the attitudes and skills of team members. According to sophomore member Darren Hansen, "We needed to try and keep our heads in the game."

By Kim Curran and Ami Elgert

Two new teams added Success on mind

When you turn the page on Sports, you realize that East has opened up an entirely new page, that page being soccer. With the help of Joe Dadzie, Barb Eisenbraun, and Doug Williams two additional soccer teams were added. These were Girls Varsity and Boys Reserve.

BOYS RESERVE

The Reserve team was not given any extra luck during their first season. With a 14 record it seemed they had a lot of room for improvement. But what was different from this soccer team was that many of the players were recruited by those who went out for the sport initially , and many of them have never played.

The team goal was ''To come together as a team, make Joe [the coach] believe that we area great team down deep. We want to win a game, " said junior Dan Lundak.

Junior Dan King stated "The team has played up to the expections I had. Considering, for example, our goalie hadn't ever played soccer before."

The team's only competitors were Om~ha schools. Being that this was their first year as a team, East felt unsupported and under publicized when they compare that to what they saw in Omaha.

Sophomore Poncho Martin explained, "Omaha is ahead of us as for as city and school support, which hurts our teams. East is under exposed."

With the growing interest in soccer the team felt that next year would show a lot more strength, and their players would not be so inexperienced. Both Dan King and Poncho Martin agreed that next year there would be a lot of experience on the Varsity team, and also more organization on the field.

GIRLS VARSITY

Practices for the Girls Varsity started with alotoflearning such as studying the rules of soccer and how to play on a team.

Senior Vicky Myren admits that "In the beginning it was really frustrating. I felt like people weren't too serious about it, but it has come a long ways. Our cause is more verified."

When the season began senior Camilla Colleen showed a lot of talent, more so than the other players. Being a foreign

exchange student from Sweden she, and senior Vicky Myren also from Sweden, had excellent background and experience. All of Camilla's self-confidence helped the other team members improve.

"We've proven we can win and play like a team. We've also proven that everyone on the team is needed," commented junior Ellen Canney.

Senior Vicky Myren stated that "In Sweden there was competition between players, there was not as much dedication. We [the East team] are united."

The teams regular season ended with a 6- 7 record. There were no preseason goals for the girls to work towards. As junior Ellen Canney proudly said, "We just went out to play the best we could!"

BOYS VARSITY

Fulfilling high expectations, the Boys Varsity soccer team scored a successful season. Following in the footsteps of last year's dominating team, the players combined their many strengths throughout the season. The regular season ended with a 6-2 record.

"We fulfilled our expectationsuntil the injuries started sidelining the players. We had hoped to as good as last year, but luck wasn't on our side," commented Ray Baeta.

This year the team possessed many skills which added to their victories. Senior Paul Best pointed out one of the team's strongest points, "Our midfield is really strong, in fact I think it's one of the strongest in the state," he continued with "Obviously we are a strong team. The World Herald gave us a Honorable Mention."

Along with their many positive qualities, the team had several [struggles] injuries to work around. Paul Best admitted "Injuries have hurt our record, but more people have gotten playing time, this experience will show on next year's team."

As with the Reserve team, the players felt that the coverage of soccer was not adequate. Junior Tom Burkey stated "It would help high school soccer if the media had covered the sport more-we've just gotten little to no attention " He went on to say "I'd like to see more support from students. Now we only get parent support, and some students." •

Fancy footsteps Dribbling around an opponent senior Mark Hawkins handles the ball. Hawk.ins was one of the few returning letterman from the season.

Foot power Using some fancy footwork sophomore John Wismer controls the ball. Wismer acted as a team leader for the Reserve team.

Kick it Hoping for a victory sophomore Poncho Martin attacks the ball. With an unsuccessful season the Reserves ended 1-4.

Dribble. Warming up for a game, junior Ellen Canney dribbles the ball down th~ field. The girls rook team ended the season with a 6- 7 record.

Swinging for State Girls varsity and reserve tennis teams aim to take state

While some couch potatoes were home watching "Hogan's Heroes" on TV, a silly comedy aboutP.O.W. 's, other more energetic lasses were training to be "Hoham's Heroes" a new breed of tennis competitors. Jeff Hoh~ was the new varsity/reserve girls tennis coach.

Und er the creative direction of Hoham the_ team could be seen doing buggy-whips: which were cross-court top spin drop shots, on the courts.

"He really knows what he's doing and gmdes us. He makes the team what it is" commented junior Amy Owen. '

The team could be seen practicing their ~oves on the courts after school. They also did some running and conditioning exercises off the court. If they were not practicing, they were competing in duals or invitationals at Woods or out of town.

244 Tennis

"The out of town meets are really fun. They can get your spirits up even if you lose," said junior Suzi Gutz.

Despite horrible winds at some of their meets, the team began their season with a winning record. The team kept their outlook positive by having a goal of taking state in mind. This goal was not too far off since the team had four returning letterwinners- Amy Owen, Suzi Gutz, Suzi Osborne, and Erin Brase. Another asset to the team was sophomore Julie Caputo.

With seventeen varsity and eleven reserve players, the team was close, which made their season all the better. The support and guidance of parents and the new coach also helped to make the season a winning one.

Instead of hitting the books during seventh period everyday, eight students hit the greens. The boys varsity golf team traveled to a nearby golf course to improve upon their skills. The members of the boys reserve team had different tee times and practiced .when it was convenient.

"Besides being about the best team East has had in a long time, we have great potential to take state," commented senior Ty Hubbell.

As a team, the boys won the Beatrice Invitational and theLPS tourneys. Individuals also placed first in different meets. Colby Norton won the Grand Island Invitational with a score of 78 and Ty Hubbell won the Beatrice Invitational with a score of 76 .

The meets usually were held on Fridays, lasting up to eight hours. The better players usually started towards the end of the meet.

"Although Southeast is our biggest rival, I think we should have no problem at State," said senior Colby Norton.

Most members of the team got interested in golf through their friends or family.

Even though it might seem like golfing does not take much preparation, a lot of work and practice is involved.

"We give 100% of our time and abilities, even though a lot of it goes unnoticed," said Ty Hubbell.

Flower Power grows up Senior class shows div e rsity

The year is 1970. Hippies and Flower Power are dominating headlines. Nixon is president. The U .S. has just sent a crew to the • moon, and lots of babies are being born. Babies who will later grow up to be the class of 1988.

It may have been the legacy of rebellion that led to this diverse group of seniors-a group that lacked unity but had many individual achievements.

"The senior class of '88 is filled with outstanding individuals," commented Mrs. Ann Walker, "but as a group they appear to lack organization and are not united ."

As these "Flower Power babies" prepared to walk across the platform to receive their diplomas, their minds raced to the future and their chance to flourish in society. A class filled with distinct individuals led to a promising future and many achieving students awaited various scholarships and awards to plant them into society.

Several notable acheivements were those of Ruth Winter, Kristin Guild, and Jeff Brooks. Winter received a National Merit Scholarship, Guild received the Willa Cather

Scholarship for outstanding writing, and Brooks won a Regent's Scholarship for UNL on top of an engineering scholarship. Altogether there were seven students who were awarded full Regents scholarships and three students who were awarded David Scholarships.

Though this graduating class was certainly not lacking in talent, their lack of unity left some unsatisfied. "We're not together as a class and never have been," explained commencement speaker Eric Zeece. "I'd rather change this class than try and respect it as something it's not."

Despite the many theories of this new attitude among seniors that were discussed, linking it to everything from a spirit of rebellion as in the 1970's or just a bad case of senforitis, the final diagnosis remains a mystery.

The graduation itself took place on June 5, 1988 in Pershing Auditorium at 7:45 p.m. Commencement speakers included Eric Zeece, Heather Raikes, and Deb Heinzmann.

Getting hands-on experience This Club means business

Getting out of the classroom and getting "hands on" business experience can be fun, especially when that experience was gained in Business Club.

That experience was gained by club members in activities that combined learning with fun and a good way to make friends Some of the activities that the club members did were: bowling, a food drive, a potluck dinner on Thanksgiving, selling concessions & bearhugs at Blue/White Night, a progressive dinner, and a Business Club/Deca trip to Omaha

The club members were also kept busy selling blowpops and cookies in fund raisers. They also delievered gifts on Teacher Appreciation Day in a cooperati~e effort with S.R.I.

While having these activities Business Club helped to promote individual development and student enrollment in business classes. The activities were also a good time for members who at the end of the year had a

lot of valuable friendships and memories. "Being a sponsor for the club was rewarding becauseitgavemetheopportunitytowo' . with students in activities outside of the clas room," said Mrs. Marshall who along with sponsor Luella Van Vleck helped to coordinate the Business Club activities. Also helping were the officers, President Christine Carbon, Vice- President Travis Yelder, Secretary Theresa Bolton and Board members Tamara Dahlgren, Matt Neumayer and Kris Svendsen.

The general feeling about the club was expressed by Kris Svendsen in saying that, "Business club was a great way to get to know people and to do a variety of activities and it was also a lot of fun and a great experience." "Business Club was a good and rewarding experience," according to President Christine Carbon and that is what it was to the members of the Business Club.

While turning the pages of our yearbook, one thing which remained the same was our publisher. Walsworth Printing Company, located in Marceline, Missouri, printed 1400 books for East High. The 1987-88 Epic included 224 pages plus a 24 page spring supplement. The yearbook was sold for $20 with a protective plastic cover.

The type style for copy was Times set at ten point and captions were nine point. For opening and closing copy, Times was used at 12 point. Opening and Closing spreads were four column, while Student Life used six columns. To set a different pace, Academics and Sports used seven column spreads and Organizations expanded to eight column spreads. People pages were four column and copy was gray screened at 30%.

The theme, Tum the Page, was created by Dave Peters. The cover and endsheets were designed by Ruth Ann Marquardt and Amy Peirce. Copy on the division pages were written by Ami Elgert, Editor, and Robin Rooney, Assistant Editior.

The Epic is a member of the Nebraska High School Press Association, and Quill and Scroll.

Long hours went into the making of the 1988 yearbook, including school vacations and many S aturdays. A special thanks goes to Advisor Jim Schaffi r for putting up with us all by keeping calm and staying cool in times of crisis. This yearbook shows the hard work and dedication of 23 staff members who have brought together a book for the East High students and faculty to remember.
