School policies keep on changing
For the third year in a row the attendance policy was revamped. Out with Detention, in with Behavioral Clinic; out with Behavioral Clinic, in with Dine With Us.
If you got Dine With Us you had to spend a week in room C-117 with a teacher instead ofout with your freinds. This year if you were truant once or tardy twice time you get Dine With Us. This new policy was part of a plan that the administration developed to crack down on truancies and tardies.
Not all students, however, liked the change. "I like Dine With Us as much as rolling over and playing dead," stated Shawn Pierce.
If a student was tardy ot truant again, the
next disciplinary step was a parent administration conference to talk about the problem.
The final stage involves an in-house suspension for junior high students or regular suspension for senior high students.
"Suspending a student for being tardy or truant makes no sense. They get to miss more school for missing school. An -in school suspension would be more effective and make more sense," commented Sandy Dick.
"I think the administrators came up with a good idea when they came up with the new attendance policy," said Mr. Crew.

Spartan Village keeps multiplying
There were three new additions to the Spartan Village this year bringing the total to six. The controversy about the tree which had to be removed was long forgotten but the portables remained where designed to help ease overcrowding.
Many students were not especially appreciative of the change.
"I think the portables are really ugly. They make our school look bad," stated junior Cheryl Hollibaugh.
''The portables are a weak attempt by the school board to alleviate the school over crowding
problems," according to sophomore Brian Frederick.
On the other hand, the portables did have a few positive points.
"I think that the portables are cozy when air conditioned," commented spphomore Dee Cannon~
The portables werte carpeted and you could control the climate in each one individually.
The most important re~n, of course, for the portables was that they freed up space inside the building for other classes.

ast High' s varsity girl's gymnastic team had many talented athletes. Among them was Melissa Schwaner. Melissa had been in gymnastics for fourteen yea..s, and was a ninth grader at East.
In nine years of gymnastics, Melissa accomplished a lot. She averaged about twenty competitions a year, and won ninety medals. Hawaii, among many other places was a destination forone of Melissa's gymnastics tours.
"Gymnastics is exciting, a challenge, and I meet a lot of really nice people," said Melissa.
• Overall, Melissa said that
gymnastics helped her with many things, such as builiding self-esteem and overall good physical excercise. Sometimes the time it took got to be too much.
"Sometimes all of the pressure and time gets to be almost unbearable. I sometimes find myself missing my friends a lot," said Melissa.
She used to dream of going to the Olympics, but now she just wants it to be a hobby.
After many years of the sport, Schwaner became quite a successful gymnast. If one asked her, "Why East?" ·she responded, "I like gymnastics, the people, and just everything!"

A Different Distance Is Desired
by Angie Fairfield
The location of the parking lot has been a long term controversy at East High. It seems that as the weather gets colder, and the roads become icy, the amount of student cars in visitor parking increase. Amy Dahlgren says, "Driving through the lot in the winter, ·1 see my life pass before my eyes - IT'S DANGEROUS." Many people seem to feel this way. If they don't they would have to agree that the icy sidewalk conditions provide for a challenging journey to the school. "It's like parking in Russia!" comments Darin Dolberg.
Though the parking lot isn't as convienent as the faculty's it could be worse. "A lot of people complain, but it is ·better than walking from home," Emily Bantam adds. Actually, maybe East High is just preparing us for college life. Those walks down to the ,, parking lot will prepare us for the hikes across campus. Isn't that what high school is for? But if this isn't the case, J.J. Jaskolla says that "they should install moving sidewalks like they have in airports."
hat'sgoingon this weekend?" was a common phrase heard throughout the halls on Fridays. To students, the weekend proved to be a way to "get-away" from the stresses of school.
Parties were a popular way for students to spend their weekend There, people can socialize with friends or make new friends. Parties also created opoportunities to meet students from other schools.
"You get to see the real side of people at parties," explained Tracy Tyner, "when they are in the condition that they are in they seen to be more open."
Sporting events gave students a chance to show their school spirit With an activity ticket, this was an inexpensive way to have some fun. Movies, or just hanging out were other popular items to diminish the weekend "blahs."
"The funniest thing that I have done on a weekend would be the time that we tried to steal a Coke machine," exclaimed senior Mariana Kazas.
Whether or not weekends ended up being fun , students made the best of them. The break was always well worth the wait.

work. But a percentage of the student body instead goes to work.
For many work is something that they just have to do:
"I have to work to pay off my car," stated Julie Bonnett.
Most of the time students get jobs to just earn some extra money, to be independent of

theirparents. But for some ,like junior Greg Lundstrom, too many activites don't allow him towork.
"My parents want me to put my school first, but I also have alot of activities, so I don't have any time."
Work isn't as bad as it may seem to be. Strange situations are bound to happen, and when they do, work just doesn't seem like work.
"One night there was this drunk bum on a bicycle, and he ran into the glass door
of the movie theater. It was so funny!" explained Melanie Robinson.
The workstudyprogram gave students the opportunity to earn some credits while working.
Whether they only worked five hours a week or thirty-five, students were able to say that they had extra money in their pockets and the satisfaction of doing ajob well.

he 1990-91 school year stood out among the rest On January 16, 1991 a coalition of nations representing the United Nations began an air war against Iraq.
. Many students and parents found themselves glued to CNN and other news networks, looking for information regarding Operation Desert Storm. The coalition of28 countries was led by the United States which contributed a majority of the troops and supplies. Although it was called a U.N. war the United States Contributed approximately 88% of the troops.
The hostilities began when Iraq, with the leadership of Saddam Hussein, invaded the small country of Kuwait. The Iraqi troops devastated the city "in order to unite all of the Arab countries. "(Although, rumorhaditthat,oilhad something todowith it) As
a result of the United States involvement in the Middle East, many students had opinions regarding how we should handle the situation. Emily Johnson, a senior said,"! think that we should nuke [them]." This seemed to be a popular response at East High. On the other hand, junior Mary Bartek thought that,"we should take the quickest road to peace"; and Tonya Beahm said that the,"U.S. should stay in! Stick with it and deal with Saddam Hussein!" East High sent our troops three banners wishing them a safe return. Student council also participated by tying red, white, and blue ribbons around the trees in front of the school and in the courtyard.
Many students commented on the fact that we have read about wars in textbooks, but never realized that we could be in one.

How do you feel about the situation in Saudi Arabia?
'susan Meyer: "People are over~ looking some domestic problems tha need to be addressed. Some people say that if you disagree with government decisions, you are not supporting the troops-that's not .true. You 1re just not supporting the war."

Rapheal knew I was coming for him so I needed a disguise. I decided to use a black wig, glasses, and my mom's business clothes. Jill and I went into Sears, we saw Ann and Darcy. They were soon to be a part of the master plan. Slowly ,I walked into the shoe department. Using my friends as a distraction, I easily walked up to him. I shot him with my water gun and he didn't even know who it was until I took my wig off. That story seemed to come right out of a movie, but in reality it was only one of the clever antics brought about from the Target Assasination Game, otherwise known as T .A.G. The T .A.G. game has been a senior tradition for a few years now, and Bret Koneig, Bret Rosenberger, and Mark Siedband decided to keep this tradition alive.
"It is a way for people to change their routinet commented Bret Koneig. Bret was the

non-playing judge for the game.
The game allowed students to express themselves and be creative. Each person was assigned someone to "assasinate" by way of water, suction -cup or disc gun. With everyone on the lookout, and stakes high, individuality was a must
Approximately fifty seniors participated , each donating two .-dollars for prize money. The last person alive recieved $35, second place $25, and third place $10. If a person "kills" five people, then their $2 was returned to them. The craze has spread out into other grades. Some other students started their own games for the junior and sophomore classes. As of January 12th there were twelve survivors. The game had no set deadline. The ones alive obviously captured a bit of senior luck.
Rafael Vigil: "The reasons the government have given for the war · • have been entirely unjust. But now that we are involved in it, we must finish what we've started. We can't stop what the government is ·pres.. ently doing, but if we're half way intellegent, we can prevent them from making the same mistakes in .·. the future."

Spirit
Once again, East High held their annual tradition of holding their friendly competition between classes. Friendly? Not always, but nevertheless 1991 spirit week was loads of fun.
The week was kicked off by the usual (or unusual as the case may be) skits. This year the seniors used the theme "Escape from Eastcatraz", as the junior class was busy using the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Spartans" to save the spirit pizza. The sophomores had a somewhat more "spiritual" theme. They presented a "Spartan Carol", including the ghosts of spirit past, present, and future.
Spirit Week consisted of class skits, hall decorations, and overall spirit. There was a surprise, however, this year. The teachers had a skit of
Saved By Turtles?
their own. Mr. Ho ham and Miss Wilson represented students from East High. One could say they stole the show. The point of the teachers skit was to prove that East High was the best. They started a catchy chant stating, "You can't win against East High!". Preceding the skit Mrs. Becker announced the juniors as the 1990-1991 spirit week victors.
Many people have their own feelings regarding spirit week. "You know what I think?! I think that if there weren't so many strict rules and regulations at East, then people would use spirit week the way they are supposed to instead of ripping on the school," stated Dawn "Shakespeare" Dvorak. Deb Brockman feels that "spirit week is a great way to relieve the everyday routine of school."
Spirit week has been in existence since the beginning of East High. For the next few years it looks as though it is going to take more than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Spartans to save spirit week at East. There were many rumors as to whether or not East High will be able to have a spirit week next year. Amy Dahlgren says, "I hope for the sake of the students , that there will be a spirit week next year , and if the administration does permit it , they won't ruin it for the future years . As for my own opinion, I feel that spirit week is one of the greatest thing since sliced bread. It gives classes a chance to unite as friends, and gives students a chance to get to know each other betteF.

Out on parole? Nope. The senior class sits quietly in their prison-like environment. The seniors had many chants -one of which was "going up to Canada, Canada, Canada," The winner is.... The junior class stands in suspense while they are awaiting the verdict of spirit week. The class was not disappointed when Mrs. Becker announced them as the victors.

Academics have always been an imp~rtant part of East, and 1990-91 moved in this same direction. As usual, the academic excellence of East's student body was shown by the number of awarded scholarships, Merit Scholar finalists arid the 7 6 seniors who were elected to National Honor Society. Singers continued to be impressive by winning several competitions.
"Singers is great this year! I enjoy singing in one of the best choirs in the state!" said Andy Schell.
During the football season, we were entertained by the marching band an~ enjoyed the return of the flag corps, eight girls who added color and movement to the band.
As always, pep band provided spirit and enthusiasm at basketball games. Band member Dustin Curry commented, "Band gives me a natural high. It's really uplifting."
We were kept informed, given a review of the year, and given a chance to enjoy a sample of East's creativity through the · efforts of the staffs of the Oracle, the Epic, and the Muse.
Academic activities at East allowed students to learn while having fun and supplying entertainment and memories for . others.

"Unity," describes this year's Speech and Debate team by coach Mr. Sen stock.
"I wanted to bring the discipline and unity that I had couched to my sports teams into Speech and Debate this year because I believe that is what makes a great team," says Senstock.
"Mr. Senstock is totally for team unity," comments senior Angie Letts.
Statmore, along with other speech and debate members, can be found at school and every Tuesday and Thursday night working on their speeches and debates.
"The kids are really working hard which makes the. unity happen. If you look at the awards, they will tell what kind of hours are put into their work," Senstock stated.
The work has paid off for many speech members. Seniors Christie Lee and -Andrew Louden will travel to both the National High School Tournament and the Tournament of Champions to compete in Extemporaneous Speaking. To compete in Extemporaneous Speaking, they will be given a domestic or foreign topic to prepare a speech of five to seven minutes : Ginger Lyons, Sasha Statmore, Lindsay Nelson, and Lisa Carlson will also join Lee and Louden at the Tournament of Champions competing in Serious Oral Interpretation of Prose Literature and Original Public Address, respectively. These competitions will help to determine how well East will do at State in the end of March.
Hard work has also paid off for many debate members.
"Ami Lee has really taken off in Lincoln/Douglas debating this year," Sens tock remarked.
A. Lee and Gina Wyatt did so well at one competition that they ended up debating against each other in the final round.
I HOPE THE JUDGES BUY THIS ONE! Ginger Lyons delivers her presentation with great enthusiasm. For many students, hours of painful preparation was required for perfection. NOT.
PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION? Because the speech team was dominated by females, sometimes Nate Bieck and Mark Siedband just had to be by themselves. Creating new and unusual facial expressions was one of Nate's better talents!
I AM NOT A CROOK! Andrew Loudon's imitations of U.S. presidents entertained speech and debate members for many hours at a time. His George Bush mask was a favorite for many students.
Success does not just mean winning State or a competition. Senior Angie Letts was accepted on scholarship to the University of Kansas, and senior Deb Volland was accepeted to Dartmouth on early decision. Both Letts and Volland plan to continue to debate in college.
"East has always had a good Speech team. We have won State twelve out of the last thirteen years. I think we could win State this year , but it will be closer because a lot of our experienced speech and debate members graduated," said C. Lee.
"For a team with relatively little experience, I'm really impressed."Christie Lee
Determination is one of the key words in describing this year's speech and debate team. Even though they are a youngteam , theyhaveenough determination to overcome their age and win state. Also, the team will have a great advantage in the years ahead be-
cause of their age.
"For a team with relatively little experience , I'm really impressed," says C. Lee.
"Determination and fun," describe speech and debate by senior Ginger Lyons.
Speech and debate is not only work but fun for a lot of members. Christmas parties, many road trips, and just being crazy are some of the things they do for fun together.
Senstock comments about the time he spends coaching speech and debate, "I have no social life. I lost twenty pounds. However, the rewards of watching the kids succeed is worth it." '
This year is the first year that one coach has handled both speech and debate. Next year this will change, however, when Senstock' s assistant coach Eric Kringel will take over one of the teams.
"Next year we will hav e tw o full forc e te ams with two coaches giving 100% of their effort. I think we have a lot of potential to be the top team in the state," summarizes Senstock. By Melanie Robinson
ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL! Lindsay Nelsen, Christie Lee, Sasha Statmore, Ginger Lyons, Krista Vance, Andrew Loudon, Nate Bieck, Kevin Lyons, Ellene Hu, Amy Jacobson, and Sarah Imes show just how close they really are. Togetherness was stressed by the coach, Mr. Senstock.
WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A SHRINER! Senior Mark Siedband was caught doing what he does best, relaxing! Actually, he was a big asset to the debate team.
HELP ME! I NEED WATER! Seniors Angie . Letts and Deb Volland explore the desert while in Arizona debating.

There's a song in
the air
There was a song in the air in the hallways ofLincoln High School when the Lincoln Youth Symphony practiced on Tuesday nights. The group was filled with talented musicians from the four Lincoln high schools andwas lead by Dr. Brian Moore. East High provided about 60% of the students.
''There's a lot of talent in L YS. Also, exceptional directing and some really exceptional players," said Shane Tucker, LYS member.
"L YS is one of the best unknown groups in the public school system," Mr. Del Whitman (band director here at East) commented. "It is also one of the best youth symphonies in the mid-west and the nation."
Andrea Woodburn had this to say about
her past experiences in LYS, "L YS has been fun and a great experience to work with the best people from all over the city."
L YS held three concerts at Kimball Hall and went on tour to Boston. The group also had a ten hour playathon at Gateway to raise money for the trip.
Two East High students won positions in the Senior Concerto Competition: Andrea Woodburn on clarinet and Sara Enersen on Cello.
Speaking of fine music, Lincoln East had its own fair share including a "professional" string quartet. The string quartet members included seniors ·Sara Enersen and Shane Tucker and juniors Sophie Sherman and Heather Kirkvold.
The group was led by Whitman and they practiced eighth period as needed. The group played a large variety of music and played at the Playmor Ball Room, The Eleven Club and some of Lincoln's country clubs.
"It's a lot of fun and plus I get paid for it! Can't beat that." said Sophie Sherman.
String quartet member Sara Enersen added this about the string quartet: "The string quartet is very intimate. We know each other well and can play well together."
So whether it was the halls of Lincoln High or East High~ you could be sure there was some sort of "song in the air".

i>id you ever think that one classroom could fit 85 wild and crazy students without everyone going berserk? Was it a required class? Was it impossible? No. It was Singers!
Singers was a choral group made up of males and females, who are juniors or seniors. You must try out for the group, which makes it very selective. You must have a prepared solo, and know how to sight read music. The tryouts become very nerve-racking. Senior Kris Krygier remembered, "I was so nervous I almost forgot my music!"
A big difference that was very noticeable was the number of people in Singers. It increased by at least 30 musi- 1 cians. During class they can hardly fit enough chairs in the room. Even in concerts, they can barely fit on the risers. Withthe addition of
"There is a unity among Singers that is unparalleled by any other class or organization in the school."
-Jeff Gutkin
more people, the sound has grown too.
• "Having as big of a group as we do, each section turns out a strong sound," said Jeff Gutkin • Another difference this year was the incoming juniors
"It's been quite an experience. All the people seem to get along so well," said junior Greg Kassebaum.
"You get to know people who otherwise, you'd never get a chance to talk to," added senior Anya Carlisle.
Many of the activities Singers participated in throughout the year were the musical "Guys and Dolls", various concerts throughout the year, a tour to Olathe, Kansas, their annual ski trip , and Expressions . "Musical was quite an experience. Expressions will be most triumphant!" exclaimed Kassebaum.
The main attraction of Singe rs was not their beautiful men and women, or the professional teaching staff. It was the unity. With a great metaphor, junior Jeff Kadavy said ,' "Singers is like glue. It sticks us together!"
Junior Sean Pierce added, "It's one of the few reasons even some of us stick around."
Even though there was such a wide variety of people in the class, Singers has always been known to have closeknit people in it. Senior Jeff Gutkin summed it up by saying, "There is unity among Singers that is unparalleled by any other class or orga~ization in the school."

Ian you name the first high school orchestra to perform at the All State clinic in the last 15 years? The orchestra with the highest number of players in All State for five years in a row? The orchestra with 70% of the members in Lincoln Youth Symphony? If you answered Lincoln East, you would not only be right, you would have named one of the state's finest musical ensembles.
"Orchestra is filled with , many talented people," said Shanel Tucker, orchestra president. "We like to work and play harder than some of the other schools do."
''There is a wide variety of people and it's so great to work with them," said junior Ellene Hu. "Mr. Whitman tries to get us to see different aspects of music. We even get to watch movies and we listen to how orchestra music is incorporated in them."
Del Whitman has been the director of instrumental music at East for five years.

For fun, they put on a dance for the public in May. But the dance was not like any other.
"It'sadance-butnotonewhere you gyrate your body to the local

The orchestra played waltzes, European polkas, foxtrots, and some popular music. The jazz band also performed, to give the orchestra a break without causing the dancers to become bored.

It was Janruary 26, 1991. The Lincoln East Swing Choir was far from being at home. They were at the Northwest Missouri State Show Choir Festival. It was 7:00 p.m. and they nervously waited to see who won. Everyone in the group was tense and clenching their hands. Finally, the emcee said," And the winner of the ...........,__ Northwest Missouri State Show Choir Festival is .. .Lincoln ...East Swing Choir!"
"We were holding hands super hard. They said "Lincoln East" and we totally started screaming!" exclaimed junior Philippa Cumming.
Not only did the East Swing Choir win the sweep- stakes, but this year they retired it Since Eas1. won the sweepstakes three years in a row, they were allowed to keep the trophy. East was the first swing choir ever in the North\\'.eSt Missouri State Show Choir Festival to retire the trophy. It was one of the largest festivals in the midwest.
"This contest was the equivolent of winning state!" sa •d senior Cam Sneddon.
That festival was one of the many highlights East Swing Choir experienced throughout the year. They also performed at country clubs, hotels, and various places during Christmas.
This year, Swing Choir had the addition of 4 new members. With so many----------, experinced members of Swing Choir, they were prepared to add more dancing to their show. ''The veterans of Swing Choir help the

Marching band was more than just performing at football and basketball games, they also participated in many contests. ''The attitudes are better this year because people are more positive about band and about each other." stated senior band member Amy Hoppner. ''Traditionally our first contest is really sad, we want to break the tradition, by working really hard and receive a superior rating." added president Chris Range.
Besides the new addition of sophomores, the marching band had to deal with the addition of the flag corps. "It is a new experience Mr. Whitman is trying new formations. He wants to intermix the Flag Corps with the band instead of having the Flag Corps mainly

Flag Corps members have was summed up well by senior Elizabeth Wysong when she stated, "The reason I tried out was because it seemed like a fun group of people, and there wouldn't be any traditions to uphold because this is the first year." Also Janet Matthews commented, "No one is quite sure what to expect from us besides just performing at games."
The Flag Corps attended a week long Flag Corps camp this summer at UNL. Kristi Kohtz learned this about being in Flag Corps from the camp,"The hardest thing is being exact. If you're just the slightest bit behind everyone can see that and there is no faking it." Kerri Paulsen also agrees. "The work and satisfaction is great. There is a lot more to . being in Flag Corps than just twirling a flag."
In the end when it is all said and done, dedication ruled and the superior rating the marching band and flag corps have been working for will no longer be a goal but instead a reality.

This is where they learned all of the fundamentals of creating the yearbook, in both design and structure. Gina and Andrea came upon the theme, On the Move, as well as many new layout and design techniques.
Members of the staff took the
information, applied it to a "staff manual ti, and used this to -make a mini-workshop of their own. The staff was divided into many small groups where they learned how to develop and

ended up in shreads after only one wash. "It was a piece of@#*+!"
Sometimes the most frustrating things about the class were, "the deadlines and the computers." explainedStellSalac , "Staffmembers from Muse and Oracle were always hogging the computers."
Even though problems occured, the staff was described best by Co-assistant editor, Brian Mays when he said, "the staff worked hard and they were very dedicated."
Dawn Dvorak said, "even though we were sometimes rushed, the staff had a good time working together. ti
All in all the yearbook staff was best described by senior Angie Fairfield when she said it was, "An opportunity to meet people while doing something for the benefit of the whole school."

Andrew Loudon had the idea for the class when he saw the CBS television show TV 101. By creating the class, Loudon felt the best thing he learned was "how to cut through the red tape of bureacracy."
The class met every day during sev- · enth aild eighth periods. Three days a week the class met at the new PSAB building at 60th and 11 0" Streets. At that time students viewed previous clips that they had filmed, ranging from famous actors to the Nebraska football players. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the members of the class were in a various number of place-some students went on location and did live interviews while others went to 33rd and Holdrege where the class did most of the editing and the filming.
The class also learned how to do profes- sional interviews, run teleprompters, audio equipment and character generators.
The class had the opportunity to meet

Loudon summed up the class's feelings when he stated, 11 School rivalries do not get in the
way of us all working together in class. 11
The 11 members in the class from East High were Andrew Loudon, Gina Kanable, Sara Enerson, Kristi Van Hom, Jeff Amack, Anya Carlisle, Narroyl Parker, Jeff Ridenour, Melissa Chen, Stephanie Lauerman, and Julie Dickey. There were three students that also joined the class at semester-Jay Nemec, Andy Schell, and Travis Cortright.
Junior Steph Lauerman said that, "I had the experience of being on Oracle staff and I thought TV would be a new kind ofjournalism .it was a unique opportunity."
Loudon explained •that the ' most challenging part of creating the class was · "finding out who to ·talk to and when to talk to them."
The right people must have been contacted because the first Lincoln Public School's TV Journalism class was a huge success.

Oracle And Muse
Simply fabulous! Muse editor Christie Lee and assistant editor Ellene Hu work together to get the Muse out by deadline.
Muse and Oracle more than publications
~me people say it'S different, and some say it's original but they haven't seen anything yet unless they've seen this years Muse.
This years Muse staff is looking at things a little bit differently this year. They are taking a more serious outlook on things and having fewer "goofy" parts than has been in the Muse before. Senior Christie Lee, Editor for Muse first semester comments this on the Muse staff, "The people on the staff need to be more oriented to writing towards the interest of the readers and not being so selfish and writing only what interests themselves instead of the reader. The Muse staff is very talented and has alot of potential."
During the second semester of Muse, The staff will be changed a little. Christtie Lee will be handing over her title as Muse Editor to senior Darcy Silver. Darcy comments on her new title, "I hope I can live up to what Christie Lee and other editors from years before have done."
The group has really strong group unity. Juniors John Hischke and Jason Vokoun, two Muse staffers, summed it up well by saying, "Yeah, we have group unity, everyone eems to like us."
"The Oracle is one of the best in the state"
Travis Curtright
Speaking of group unity, the Muse staff isn't the only group in the Journalism department with group unity. The Oracle staff is not to be overlooked when concerning group unity. Senior Travis Curtright, Editor of this years Oracle, has this to say about this years staff, "One of the keys of success for this years staff has been the overall talent of the staff and their ability to work well together."
This years Oracle is a bit different from last years (or any other years for that matter) because this is the first year the paper has had color. Also, thanks to Travis Curtright, DeDra Janssen, and Andy Campbell the paper received a facelift and was redesigned. Oracle staffer Shane Tucker comments, "There really is interunity within the staff, but sometimes political issues get in the way. Still, this years Oracle is one of the best newspapers in the state."
Whether it be Muse or Oracle group unity runs ramped. After all the work has been done both staffs put out publications everyone can be proud of.

What A Ham! Mr. Arthur, the advisor for East High's chapter of Natio n al Honor Society said, "The National Honor Society is a way we can recognize students for their academis accomplishments."
Things looked pretty bad when the number one doubles team lost in the first round of the State Tennis Tournament.
"We thought we were out of it," said junior Mark Jones.
The East High boys tennis team wasn't out of the tournament, though. In fact, they won the whole thing; claiming their third straight state tennis title.
The tennis team wasn't the only one to make us proud. The varsity football team came from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win the Homecoming game.
"It felt very good. It was very good for the team," said senior Matt Augustine.
Along with the success of the football and tennis teams came the traditio n al success of the girls volleyball team . Even though the girls didn't make it to state, th ey made a different move to the top by becom-
ing the first volleyball te~m from Nebraska
to be invited to an all-star tournament in Chicago.
"It was exciting and a great experience,"said senior Traci Stutheit. "It really brought us togather."
This past year also brought us something different in that we started our first Athletic Hall Of Fame. The ceremony between the reserve and varsity boy's basketball game on Dec. 15 proved to be quite moving for inductees Len Dickinson, Kent Reckewey, Sam Yowell, Nancy Grant Colson, Kerry Karst, Todd Zart, Bob Gustafson, and Todd Eubanks.
"We've never shown students and the public our past in sports and we thought we needed to preserve what these people have done at East," said Athletic Director Randy Bates.

"We bad a lot more road games, and we played against good competition," said Eric Stokes about their grueling season. Stokes broke the school record in rushing with 1,231 yards on 168 carries. Defense was the strongest part of the Spartan football team according to starting lineman Chris Osentowski. Matt Augustine lead the East defense with 66 tackles and 30 assists.
Stokes and Augustine, along with Peter Ferguson and Neal Anthony made the all-city football team. Chris Osentowski r ecei ved bonorabl ~ me~tion. :t :::::::::

"We played a fourth-ranked tea m a wa y fr om home w i th a l ot of character," be said. "We came away with a tough loss, but it took them four quarters to beat us. They scored the winning touchdown with a little over a minute left in the game."
-"We didn't lose sight of our main goal which was to have fun and keep it enjoyable for everyone," commented Peter Ferguson.

Oh, yeah! Mike Kaiser struts off the field to catch his breath. Kaiser was a starter on both offense (full-back) and defense (line-bock).
All mine. Brian Mays stretches to catch a pass during a game against Hastings. East defeated the Tigers 17-7.
The East sophomore and reserve football teams pulled together to have a combined 5-6 record and captured the reserve city championship.
This year was different from the past because the sophomores and juniors combined to play the reserve schedule and five sophomore games.
"Many of the players who started for both teams got burned out faster than they usually would have if they had played for only one team," said Jon Zatechka.
The different strategy for the season led the Spartans to a city championship. "It's the greatest feeling, it makes all the hard work we put in practice .seem to pay off," commented Dave Swanson.
Many players agreed that the East vs Southeast game was the best game of the season.
"I never saw our team pull together so well and play such good football," said Trevor Pearson.

Fun and adventurous are two words that described the season for the varsity volleyball team. They experienced a lot of ups and downs, as well as a lot of surprises.
For the first time in East's volleyball history, the team got a chance to play in a tournament in Chicago, Illinois (the Mikasa Challenge; the most prestigious volleyball tournament in America). East was • the first team from Nebraska to be invited. In some tough competition, East placed 22nd out of 32 teams.
"Going down there, it unified us more as a team. Our friendships even got closer as we got to know each other better," Shelly Eicher said about the to il rnam~nt.
"We worked really hard to do the best we could," Kim Tonniges said. Kim received a full - ride s ch o la rs hip t o th e University of Nebrask a at Lincoln to play volleyball "Our pla y improve d a lot durin g th e season, and we kept working hard and Improving."
Two games which highlighted the season were victories following the Chicago trip. Those games were against Norfolk and Papillion.
"We started playing really well, and we began to come together with our plays. We ran a lot more plays than any other team," said Dawn Dvorak.
Although the East volleyball team didn't reach the State "ournament, they had an impressive p erformance in Districts, finishing s~ond behind Northeast.
Overall, the team finished with a record of 18 wins and 13 losses, coached by Myron Oeherklng.

"We had a successful and exciting year," said sophomore player Megan Deitchler, and reserve player Andrea Zins. "We learned how to work together with different people, and we learned how to achieve our goals."
The reserve and sophomore volleyball teams both had successful seasons this year. Some of • the highlights included the traditional Mr. Oehler king breakfast; gumdingers and black socks for the reserves, and the sophomores facing competition they haven't faced before.
The reserves had only one out of town game, which was in Kearney. Although the reserves didn't come home with a victory, it was a close • game. "Even though we lost, we had a good game. It went two out of three games. It felt like we won because we played good together as a team. The atmosphere and the bus ride just pumped us up." Deb Helzer said about the trip.
The reserves ended up with a record of three wins and ten losses, and the sophomores had seven wins and six losses.

The 1990-91 Varsity Basketball season was more than just a "rebuilding year." The season held tough competition, close games, last second shots, and much frustration.
"It was a little disappointing," said Dave Swanson, a junior who started for East. "As the season went along we got a lot better, but it still was a long, long season."
Although the Spartan's record was 6-15, they had many close games that could have gone either way. As in Fremont, East was down by at least 31 points and came back in the second half, only to lose by one point. The annual William Jewel Tournament in Liberty, Kansas was also another highlight for the Varsity Team. East played against Blue Springs, KS., a top ranked seed, and defeated them in the semi-final round.
"It was great having a chance to play against other state teams and to see what they were like." Jon Gelder replied about the tournament. Gelder , who averaged 13 points a game and 5-6 rebounds, was a major factor as well.
"It was fun being around your friends, and also going out of state." Dave Swanson added.
"One of the best games we had was against Southeast," senior center Peter Ferguson said: "I felt everybody was ready to play the game and do the things we were supposed to do."
East came close to defeating the Knights in the jam-packed East High gym.
When asked about the team's feelings toward the overall season, Peter Ferguson replied, "Seniors were a little disappointed about our overall record, but we realized that there were other things that took precedence over it."
Although the Varsity's season was below the team's expectations, it was a great learning experience for those who will play next year.

"It was a good learning experience," junior Scott Martin replied about the East reserves season. "We started off not playing too well , but with the last several games, we came together much better."
"One of the best games we had was against Omaha Central, our first game," John Haney replied. "It was the best game we played all season."
The reserves had quite a few good games and some unique experiences. For instance, on the roadtrip to North Platte, the bus broke down, stranding both the Varsity and Reserves for one hour in a small town gas station. The players had to change on the bus, and the reserves ended up starting when the varsity was supposed to start. Despite the setback, the reserves ended up defeating North Platte 42-40.
The reserves ended with a respective record of 6-10 after a season full of exciting points and close games.
"Our record of 6-10 was disappointing, but 3 out of our 4 last games we finished really well," John Haney said.
The sophomores also finished well, despite their 2-12 record. The sophomores edged out Northeast by 63-60 , and crushed Norris 72-52.

"Wild and crazy," said Michelle Forsberg , pretty much sums up t he Varsity girls basketball season.
"Our best game was against Lincoln High (the first time we played them)," said Steph Schroetlin. Lincoln High was rated first in the state at the time , but the Spartans played a tough game and kept the score within a few points throughout the entire game.
"We worked best when we had the same combination of people for a long amount of time," said Michelle Forsberg. The Spartans starting line-up changed nearly every game which sometimes made it hard to adjust.
The second time the Spartans met up with the Links, was in districts. That game ~so en~ed the season for the varsity girls and ended the career for the seniors "I was disappointed because that was the last real game I'll ever be playing. The loss didn't affect me as much as it did to have .the season end ," said Forsberg . "I felt bad for the seniors since it was their la st _year. I wish we could've made it to state,"_ said S teph Schroetlin.
However, though the girls didn't finish the season the way they would've liked to , they all agreed that the season was great overall. "Nashville (Tulip, Trixie, Patunia, Molynne, etc.), suspensions, and technicals " are just a few memoirs of the year.
Mariana Kazas added as a warning to all future basketball players, "Don't ever ride home from away games with anyone but the bus."

Both the reserve and sophomore girls basketball team struggled early in the season to work as a team, but both finished with great teamwork and a lot of success.
"It's hard to get everybody going in basketball. But once we do, we have a really good time. "[To get the team spirit working] we'd go out to dinner and do stuff together to psych each other up," said Heidi Heusman, a reserve player. •
The team also did things like listening to The Steve Miller Band and Queen in the training room or on the bus in order to get psyched and ready for games. "We'd just sing songs if we didn't have a ghetto said Heusman.
Nicole Allison added that, "Team spirits grew toward the end of the season, and it was a lot of fun being there with your friends."
The reserve team had 10 away games in a row. In a way, this was good for the juniors on the team, because next year it means more home games.
The sophomore team, as well as the reserve team, used teamwork as a key to tbe season. "We learned how to work together and _ that the only way we could win is if we worked together," said sophomore Wendy Oswald.
"A lot of people that started out not knowing their skills, learned and became more interested," added Bredensteiner.
Through all the changes in players and positions, both teams had an overall great season.

As is the past, the boys and girls swimming teams proved to be top teams in the state by finishing 7th and 3rd, respectively.
East swimmers were able to carry on the tradition of success with the help of several individual standouts. Kara Martin placed 2nd in diving. Amber Lisee finished 5th in the 100 backstroke. Jenney Radke placed 3rd in the 500 freestyle. Mandy Radke placed 2nd in the 100 freestyle and 3rd in the 50 freestyle. Chris Churchill finished 2nd in both the 50 and 100 freestyle. Matt Maasdam placed 7th in the 200 and 500 freestyle. These individuals were pushed to strive excellence by their team members. "There is competition among team members, but in a positive manner. Each swimmer pushes the next to work harder, and so on. The competition makes us a stronger team," said Lisee.
The girls swimming team posted a 9-1 dual record and captured the city and conference championship for the 6th year in a row. The boys had a young team with several freshman and only three seniors. The underclassmen proved they had a lot of talent by placing 2nd in the city and having a 9-1 dual record.
"Next year should be our year for the guys to take state. Our team is young and we're getting better," accor~ing to Chris Churchill.

Gymnastics has traditionally been excellent at East. In the past, the boys gymnastics team has been one of the top teams in the state. This year it was the girls gymnastic team's turn.
The girls team was lead by freshman Melissa Schwaner who placed 6th at state, and sop.bomore Suzanne Maurice who placed 4th.
"Gymnastics is exciting and challenging, and I get to meet a lot of really nice people," Schwaner said.
The boys gymnastics team was led by senior Ben Hinkley, who qualified for finals in vault. The boys gymnastics team finished 7th at state. Hinkley described the teams goals as "just doing the best we can in every meet."
"I feel the season went really well," said Carrie Jahde. "We went from not knowing each • other at the beginning of the season, to really working together and thinking about the whole team. Even though we didn't take state, we did our best and broke a team scoring record."

East had a young wrestling team this year with only one senior, Jason Holsten. The team was primarily made up of sophomores and freshmen. Sophomores Cory Fredenberg and Tyson Froscheiser qualified for state.
With such a young team, the wrestling team had to set a lot of goals for the future. According to Jon Jackson, the most important team goal was to "always try your hardest, and never give up."
Even though the wrestling team had a losing record this season, they gained a lot. Most of the members of the team were disappointed with their record, but pleased with what they learned.
John Gingery became the new wrestling coach this year. According to the team members , Coac h Gingery had a lot of enthusiasm that was really beneficial to the team.
"I think the season went just fine. The team might not have won as much as they wanted but in a couple of years East will be a dominating force," said Jason Holsten.

"This year I felt we did well as a team. Even though some individuals excelled, we pulled together and placed well in the meets that counted," Jen Brechbill, a senior, said.
Overall, both teams ran very well in the duals, with the majority of the runners beating their previous times. The girls placed 4th in Districts, and the boys placed 5th.
"A lot of people placed well in the big meets," said Steph Weyers, one of the top girl runners. "Cross country in the future will be a lot better at East~ and I'm sad I won't be here."

"There were many peaks and lots of valleys," said Anne Squier as she recalled the 1990 Golf season.
The girls team was just peaking when they placed 2nd in districts, but fell into a valley and placed 9th in the State Tournament. Anne Squier, who lead the Spartans this season went into the tournament with the flu so didn't do nearly as well as she would've liked to.
Considering the circumstances, Coach Trimble had every reason to be proud of the way the girls performed this season. "He's the best coach ever, , and ~e love him," said Nicole Allison as she commented on the wonderful support he gave to the girls.
Next· year the girls golf team will be losing two seniors, Teresa Barnes and Jill Brown. However the girls are looking forward to a great season.

Greg Lundstrom and Brian Comer, number two doubles partners, placed first In their division at state. Chad VanHorn also won his division at state In number two s~ngles, and Mark Jones received runner-up In the number one singles division.
"I think we could very well sweep every event [next year]. We could start a dynasty, at least for the next three years," said Greg Lundstrom.
Focused on development and enjoyment, the reserve team managed to finished 2nd In the city tournament.
"The goal this year for the junior varsity was not to focus on winning a city championship, but rather to develop mental toughness and physical ability In order for them to be the best they could be," said reserve coach Bob Wenger.

There have been many different things that have contributed to East High's success through th years. Sure we've all changed, but East would clearly be nothing without people.
"Sometimes the only reason I come to schoolis to see my friends," said junior Jon Gelder. •
Gelder is not the only one who believes his friends have been a big factor in helping him through school thus far.
"When I got in a fight with my mom, my friends cheered me up," said Teresa Klusman.
Fighting with parents is something that we've all gone through, but fighting with friends can sometimes be far more worse.
"The worst fight I ad with a friend is when Phillipa and I had a misunderstanding about something and the 'whole thing got blown out of proportion,." said junior Ann Squire.
But regardless of a few arguments now and then, the one thing that kept the people at East High united.

-New the class "Colle,ze gives students Connectio .n °
Lincon East offered a wide variety of classes. This year a new class called the College Connection made its debut. This was an experimental class that helped students make wise choices concerning college preference and admission procedures. It also dealt with the SA 1' and ACT. Juniors Dave Swanson, Chris Creel, Jim Freeman, Andy Murrell, Jodi Ash, Rachel Yelder, Darcie Polzien, Shari Belschner, and sophomore Jody Helm spent a week in New England visiting colleges.
The group visited Harvard, Dartmouth, Amherst, MIT, and Boston College. The students only had to pay for their airline and bus tickets. They stayed with students who currently attend the colleges they visited. Dave Swanson said his favorite school was Dartmouth, "because it appeared that the students there were having the most fun." His least favorites were MIT and Harvard because " all they did there was study and play computer games." Not much free time was allowed since they were always .busy.

Experience the wild kingdom
East High students need not travel to distant lands to experience the wild, the crazy, and the exciting animals this world has to offer. The juniors had their own agglomeration of strange and interesting pets in their very own homes.
For instance, Scott Peterson owned a coral snake.
"It was great to have the snakes - around my neck and then go driving around because I'd always get these funny looks," said Scott. Mike Novak enjoyed the presence of his several iguanas.
"I liked playing mind games with them because they're so stupid and I'd always win," said Mike. Jason Vokoun proudly displayed his ferret, and Doug Latimer was photographed in his most stable state in nature.
East juniors kept pets for many reasons. For some, pets were a way of showing responsibility. For others, it was a way to show off their accomplishments. And for many students, pets were just companions to love and play with. For many juniors the animal kingdom was a big part of their lives.

iophomore swimmers excel!!
Mandy Radke, one of East's top swimmers, started swimming at a young age. She started. when she was ten years old with Nebraska Aqutatics and kept improving year after year. As a member of the East High varsity swim team she broke two school records in the 50 Freestyle and the 100 Freestyle.
"I was happy with my times. Those records had been standing for a long time," said Mandy. She also beat the 100 yard freestyle state champion, Allison Sides, at the Spartans duel meet against Omaha Burke. • •
"I had been waiting a long tinie to beat her," replied Radke. Mandy qualifed for the state meet in many events. Other sophomore swimmers who qualified were Allison Krause, Jenny Churchill, and Niki Anderson. Mandy felt the girl's swimming and diving team was the strongest it had been. All the sophomores contributed an equal share to the team overall.
Mandy and Niki swam with Nebraska Aquatics during the. off season while Allison and Jenny train with Praric Life Center. All traveled in the summer season to Minnesota, Texas, and Kansas City for swim meets. Mandy hoped to qualify for Junior Nationals in the 100 Freestyle and to receive a swimming scholarship to a good college.

Ready? Okay. The Varstiy Cheerleaders get ready to perform a cheer at clinic in Lake Okoboji, Iowa. The cheerleaders spent four days at clinic, and competed for the Award of Excellence.
Moving on was an appropriate way to describe the activity of East's organizations in 1990-91.
Some of the organizations began preparing their moves in the summer. For example, the Cheerleaders andApollonaires attended clinics to get new ideas for routines, while Student Council members attended a workshop.
"Workshop gave us a lot of good ideas to bring back to our council at home," said Student Council member Gina Hoffman.
The Ambassadors moved to decorating lockers for special occasions, and DECA continued to supply students with doughnuts. Pep club moved.to new uniforms and improved spirit. •
Some new clubs, such as the Ecology and Writing clubs, added new opportunities for participation. The political campaign found Young Republicans and Young Democrates working forvarious candidates. All of these activities, along with all of the other events offered, proved that East was moving in a positive direction.

arsity Cheerleaders proved themselves to be one of the best squads in the state. They won a cheerleading contest September 23, in Grand Island, sponsored by a radio station, Sunny 108 FM. First place was worth$ 100 and a trophy.
In Grand Island the squad competed against six other squads from around the state. The cheerleaders also planned to compete in several other contests.
During the summer, the
leaders become more united as a unit," said Erin Willis, a senior and also a co-captain along with Christy Fellin, a junior. During the camp Christy won the All-American cheerleader award. In doing so she won a trip to the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.
One of the main goals of the cheerleaders was to get the parents more involved. They went to the tailgate parties in hopes to get a better response during the games from the parents.
''This squad is different because we have changed our showmanship and we are a lot more motivated," replied Erin.
"I think we have made people realize that there is a Jot more to cheerleading than just looking good in front of people," stated Christy.
cheerleaders took a trip to Lake Okoboji, Iowa, for their annual camp. Not only did they meet new friends, they also learned most of their cheers and chants during the cheerleading camp.
This year the cheerleaders were nominated for an award of excellence.
"Camp is where the cheer-
Ms. Keep, sponsor of the squad, said she was very proud of this cheerleading squad.
''This squad has very high quality and is very enthusiastic."
The accomplishments ~is squad has achieved through team unity and hard work will be remembered for many years to come.

nother year, another spectacular group of Apollonaires cut loose to really roust up some Spartanic spirit. As usual, the squad was just phenomenal.
"We have some real talent on this year's squad," said Hannah Hathcock. "We are constantly challenging each other."
It just goes to show that there is so much more to Apollonaires than met the eye.
"The leadership skills a member acquires are priceless," Becky Lowrey , co-captain said. "You learn to work with so many types of people and talent that it is inevitable that you will grow and develop from the incredible and irreplaceable experiences. I wouldn't trade my friendships for anything."
"All the experiences we've had will give us wonderful memories to reflect on in the years to come," said Trisha Churchill, co-captain. "Being part of Apollonaires has made my last two years of high school great! Ifl had ifto do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. "
Although the number of pep
rallies was pretty scarce, the girls gave it their all during the games.
Becky Lowrey and Gigi Haase were selected as All-American nominees at the NCA (National Cheerleading Association) drill team clinic. As nominees, theywere given the oppor-
tunity to travel to Ireland or Hawaii to be part of the Christmas or St. Patrick's Day festivals. Gigi Hasse decided to take the trip to Hawaii.
"It was a wonderful honor to be selected from hundreds of other girls," said Gigi, ''The trip was a great experience I made lots of new friends and I got to be a part of a half-time show in a bowl game. But more important, I was tan in December. I loved it!"

pirit is essential to Lincoln East High School in all school activities, especially sports That is why our cheerleaders were a major asset to the school. If it weren't for them, our school would be without spirit.
"Being able to support my school through an organization is what I like best about being a cheerleader ," said Gina Hoffman, one of the new Junior Varsity cheerleaders.
That just goes to prove that school unification and spirit were high on their agenda.
These eleven hard-working girls really achieved a lot of their goals. One of their goals was to work hard to be better than the old Junior Varsity reputation.
"Clinic was Lhe most fun I had, I'm proud of the things we achieved and the relationships we gained as a squad," said Melanie
Vellek, one of the juniors on the squad.
This summer in Ames, Iowa Junior Varsity attended clinic. At clinic the girls competed for the award of excellence, a great honor. Only ten out of four-hundred squads were picked to compete for this award.
In Iowa they competed every day for evaluations. After every evaluation each squad was awarded a ribbon or spirit stick, based on how well they did. The Junior Varsity cheerleaders were awarded a spirit stick every night and a blue ribbon every day they were there except one which was a red ribbon. During clinic all of the girls met many new friend from other states.
"Cheerleading can be a lot of fun and a chance to make lots of new friends but at the same time it can be very stressful and time consuming," said Melanie Vellek.
The captains of the squad were senior Gina Hoffman and junior Merit Burch.
"In having co-captains the benefits are that you have responsiblities that are split up so not all the pressures are put on to one person. You always have another person to help with decision making," said Hoffman.

linic was competitve and stimulating, it got us pumped for the year and gave us all self-confidence," said Erin-Anne Scott, one of the new sophomore cheerleaders.
Eight proved to be great when this energetic group of girls came together and moved into the picture.
This year marked the second forthesophomorecheerleaders. They definitely lived up to the standards set before, proving themselves with lots of hard work and determination.
"At clinic I got to know my squad, and I learned what cheerleading was really all about," said AddieReed, who was the captain of the squad.
Together they won four blue ribbons , one red ribbon, and two spirit sticks during last year's summer clinic in Ames, Iowa.
They also worked with private profe~ional coaches to help them with their spirit and cheerleading techniques.
Although they seemed to have their act together, it wasn't always perfect. The squad's biggest problem was trying to agree on a consistent approach.
In terms of school spirit, these girls really knew what they were doing. school unity was their main objective, and they really focused on getting pep rallies moved up earlier in the school day for upcoming years.

nationally known speaker here at Lincoln East High? You've got to be kidding. Well it came true this year thanks to Lincoln East DECA officers and the rest of the club.
Many students may remember the assemblies in September when they heard Keith Nord speak. "He made me realize that the real failure
is to not try," said senior Susan Meyer. •
After Keith came to East High, Mark Seidband and Gordon Makker started working on a manual about what he does and the reasons why DE.CA brought him here.
Another manual was prepared by Misty Zimmerle and Karen Ellis.This manual was mainly about
Peer Helping and how DECA worked on getting them noticed.
"I feel that the manual is a good way to promote such a good cause like Peer Helping and I hope that it is sucessful," said Karen Ellis. The two manuals will be taken to state competition and hopefully national competition in Denver, Colorado.
On October 2,Lucy Caputo, Melanie Robinson, Kathy Ingram, Sara Schobert, Chris Swearingen, and Misty Zimmerle were installed as the 1990-91 DECAofficers. Another group of students were installed as Class Representives. They are Jenny Williamson,Jason Vokoun,Karen Ellis and Darin Dolberg.
" I am always encouraging my students to get involved in extra activities because employers and colleges think that it is important in making selections, but this year the officers are very involved with all activities. They all have great ideas but find it very frustrating to say they couldgetitalldone," said Mrs.Payne.
Are they really LIMITLESS? From Left to right, Misty Zimmerle, Sara Schobert, Darin Dolberg, Karen Ellis, Chris Swearingen, Melanie Robinson, Angie Fairfield, Kathy Ingram, Jenny Williamson, Lucy, Caputo, and Jason Vokoun.

aybe you heard of, or even thought about joining Young Democrats, but you did not know what it was all about. Well, if you were a democrat, you passed the first requirement. The only other requirement was that you
were willing to have fun. Hopefully you passed that one, too. If you passed both, then Young Democrats was for you.
So what was Young Democrats all about? President Ashesh Bastani put things into perspective. "One of our purposes is to support our
political party, and help our canididte become better known within the community," said Bastani.
The officers were Ashesh Bastani, President; Sheri McAlister. Vice President; Tawni Markenson, Secretary;and Gina Wyatt, Treasurer.
Attending speeches and rallies were several activities Young Democrats enjoyed through out the year. They also had fun participating in Earth Day and in campaigning for Ben Nelson.
"We were really excited when Mr . Nelson won," commented Bastani.
Sound interesting yet? By becoming a member of Young Democrats, each member got involved in the political process and possibly opened a future career.
"I feel we were very effective this year." said Bastani.

hen people thought of Teenage Republicans they thought of Andrew Loudon, but contrary to popular belief, there were more Teenage Republicans at East than Loudon.
The officers were President Travis Curtright, Vice President Mark Siedband, Treasurer Sandy Dick, and SergantatArms, Kevin Costello. Their prime job was tom~ sure the meetings went smoothly and to organize political forums.
"The vast silent majority of East High is conservative and Republican," said Andrew Loudon, Nebraska State Chaitman of Teenage Republi~ cans.
The group worked hard early on to help the Republicans get elected or re-elected to office. Later on they worked on the campaign of Counci Iman Mike Johans who was running for mayor.
"I am pleased to be president of the organizatio: , because I feel this
group represents everything that is good and true in this world," commented president Travis Curtright.
"The purpose of Teenage Republicans is two-fold: We allow people to show their support to the Republican candidate and to the Republican ideology," explained Shane Tucker.
Teenage Republicans also held a state convention. It was a place were people could thrive in the organization at the state or county level.
The meetings brought people together wno believed in the same ideas, but more importantly it got the public politically aware of what was going on around them.

... very time you saw a locker that was decorated, you might have wondered who put all the hard work into it. Well, this was only one of the things that the Ambassadors did during the school year.
Throughout the school year, the Ambassadors had done many
things. Remember the Legs contest? Well, they put that together as a fundraiser for their group.
Not only did they do that contest, the clubs officers also had put toghether picnics and tours around Lincoln for the the new students that were in the orginization so they could be familiarized with the city.
"This club was for every-
one that had been or was a new student. It provided activities for them to do, on top of helping them make new friends," said the President Sheri McAlister.
This years officers were: Sheri McAlister, President; Kelli Hummel, Vice· President; Myke Lowe, Secretary; Lori Klutz, Treasurer; Michaela Morrisey and Krista Radke were Public Relations. The officers decided what activities to do and when to do them.
"We are going to have a sponsored lock in at the YMCA sometime after Prom. We are hoping that there will be a very good turn out," said McAlister.
Although this group only got started last year by counselor Mr. Stull, the group had grown tremendously this year alone. Besides the support of Mr. Stull, the group had a lot of support from the parents.
"By having the support of the parents, we may continue to be a club next year along with the student's participation," said McAlister.

or the past four years, there had been a group of students called Peer Helpers. Mrs. Diane Dunning said, "They are the most caring and sincere group, I think it's tremendous." Mrs. Dunning started out being the teacher and was joined this year by another caring teacher Ms. Marge Keep.
''The peer helpers are very outstanding and I am glad that it started at East. They truly care, besides being good listeners. It is very unfortunate that the helpers are unable to tell about the things they do with real depth because they do such a good job. We are really lucky to have them here. I have a feeling that this group is going to do a lot of growing in the coming years, both up and out," said Keep.
The peet helpers accomplished many of the things they wanted to. For instance, students went over to some of the elementary schools and worked with students who had problems. They also presented a skit to • the seventh and eighth graders first semester. The skit included real life problems that the students would most likely encounter in the future. Following the skit they conducted a discussion of the topics. The peer
helpers were recognized by many junior high students. They also had pen pals from Ruth Pyrtle Elementary School.
"The program was an excellent way to reach one another and compare common problems," said se-
nior Kristi Kohtz.
Throughout the school year DECA worked with the peer helpers in hopes ofrecognizing the group and their ability to work with students with problems. The peer helpers also helped new students become acquainted with the sc~ool and other students.
"The class is a great opportunity to help others and to explore the human psyche," said senior Sara Schobert.

Aometimes the voice of the student body went unheard as far as what happens within the school. But this year the student council picked up the slack.
Five of the members of StuCo were sent to Nebraska's Association of Student Council Workshop which helped them learn new activities for
the school. It also taught them how to speak to the administrators.
"The main goal of the student council is to keep communication between the students and the faculty," said Jeff Gutkin.
With the attitude that there are no boundaries as to what they could do, the student council accomplished much.
"We're trying to test our power," commented Hannah Hathcock (president). "Sometimes it's hard because the students don't really know what we're all about. But this year's council works well together."
At the beginning of the year the administration would not let students have regular morning announcements read over the intercom system. With the help of student council they were able to get back the announcements.
Some of the activities that were organized by Stu Co included Blue/White Night, the senior high cookout, and speaking in front of the Board of Education to help establish a student advisory committee.
Junior Tracy Bolton spoke to the LPS Board of Education and within a month, members - were picked to represent East. The members ar Tracy Bolton , Chris Osentowski, Monica Breed, Heather Zinsmaster, and Andrew Loudon.

A.f you wanted to go some where to say parlez-vous Francias, or merci beaucoup, you didn't need to go all the w'ay to France to do it. You could do it here, at French Club. French Club consisted of about eleven dedicated students, who met once a week to "do French." The students were of all ages and spoke a variety of levels of french. As one of their activities, they had a food drive and raised over fivehundred pounds of food. They also like to go out and just have fun playing volleyball or ~ther fun things. President Mary McArthur said,"! like the way we all get together, and talk in a different language. It's fun."

East High was lucky enough to have several foreign exchange students this year. They were Lars Frisk, Eddie Foung, Susan Hillebrand and Marta
Sawicz who came from Sweden, Austria and Germany. Eddie and Lars both felt classes here were a lot easier but they liked the idea of
being able to pick which ones they wanted to take. When asked which fast food restaurent he preferred Eddie said, "There should be a Runza everywhere in the world."

• ussian Club this year consists of about eight members. This year they have done many funraisers making over three- hundred dollars. The first fundraiser they did was working at the star city parade. They also worked at Blue and White Night, and sold Christmas trees to friends and relatives. This year East High was lucky enough to have Russian dancers from Tadzhikistan to come and dance for us. But the Russian club was even luckier yet afterwards they were able to go and have dinner with the dancers. They also got to see all of their costumes. Heather Kirkvold said," all in all it was just neat."
When the Russian club just wants to go out and have fun where else better to go then the Kirov Ballet. When the Kirov came to perform at the Lied Center the Russ ian Club made a day of it and just had alot of fun. Miss Brusstar said, "I was happy to see how much they all ·enjoyed it."
Many Russian families have recently moved to Lincoln and members of the Russian Club visit these families about twice a week. "this is my favorite part of being a member of Russian club," said Heather Kirkvold.

ast has a great variety of clubs ranging from Future Homemakers of America, to Chess Club. Since the latest enviornmental concerns have been discovered in our com unity, the school has taken a new approach with the new Ecology club.
Enviommentally concerned students have been recycling cans, papers and g~ass. One of the fund-raising activities for the club was selling enviommental T-shirts to earn enough
money to purchase a young sappling for the East High Educational complex.
"Our world needs help to keep itself clean and beautiful. We waste so much that we all can pitch in and recycle." said Tammy Kuntz, senio and eviornmentalist. Tammy attended a demonstration in Washington D.C. and New York April 13 to peacefully protest for a cleaner planet.
Amy Jacobson does her part in Project Earth by recycling cans and newspapers from her house. "It doesn't take much time to recycle once a week or even once a month," stated Amy.
As a wise old owl once said,"help keep America looking good, give a hoot don't pollute."

.hat has four legs, lots mester. It includes various drawof stories, poems, artwork and photos? East Winds, of course, the school literary magazine . (We 're just kidding about the legs.)
How can I express myself? Where can I display my form of expressive art? Students found their answers to their questions in the magazine East Winds. Hopefully next year East Winds will still be going strong. Who knows if we may someday discover the next William Shakespeare in our own schools literary magazine.
"East Winds provides a way to showcase students form of expressive art," explained English teacher Pat Kaltenberger.
"East Winds is expanding the scope · of the magazine to include more artwork and writing of stu:. dents grade 7-12," said Mrs. Cox, one of .the supervisors.

East Winds is put. together annually, usually in the second seings, photos, and literature such as poems and short stories. These are all submitted by student with a special talent to create such things.
Aieaching patriotism? We don't ever do it anymore," said one perplexed parent. Somehow, amid the fast and furious times of the 90's, grandma, apple-pie, and baseball were often forgotten. Patriotism was something to be studied in a history text, a thing of the past. But that all changed with the Bicentenial Celebration of the Bill of Rights, held at East on February 24, ironically, just a few hours after the ground war began in the Persian Gulf.
"The idea simply mushroomed out of a passing comment last summer," added Jon Peterson, founder of the celebration. Peterson and Dr. Marotz wanted to "do something for the
Bicentenial of the Bill of Rights", and they did just that. ·
The event which entertained 2,400 people turned out to be a lot more than just asimple something. It turned out to be "The best thing that ever happened at East High," according to a teary-eyed parent who spoke with Marotz after the performance.
The ironic thing was that at the time the celebration was planned, no one knew the event would take place at a time when being American was definitely worth celebrating. The audience wasn't merely teary-eyed because of past experiences that were brought to memory, but because the war had hit home that very day. Instead of remembering hard times that the United Sates had faced, the reality of war was right
there, happening at that very moment in their own lives.
"I talked to George Bush quite a bit about timing!" Peterson added in good humor. "Because of the war, people were more supportive, more patriotic. This time, the majority of the people were in support of the U.S. and the current situation gave it more impact. It might not have flown as well had the war not been in action."
The celebration was the first time in the 24 years of East High that students in grades seven through twelve had the chance to perform together. There weree approximately 780 musicians involved in orchestras, bands, and choirs.
"It was a really unique opportunity for the choirs to get to play with instrumentalists, and vice versa. There will be very few times in the students lives, if ever again, where they will be given the chance to participate in something that special, "added Marotz.
Musicians weren't the only students involved, as seven different departments participated. The English Dept. provided crossword puzzles dealing with the Bill of Rights, the Speech team gave speeches on freedom, the Drama Dept. acted the parts of the Founding Fathers, members of the press, SusanB. Anthony, a soldier, and immigrants. The Art Dept. decorated the halls with red, white and blue bunting, while the Industrial Arts Dept. made flag stands. Even other schools found ways to participate. The Malcom band donated the huge flag that draped across the wall of the gymnasium as the Senior High Band played The Stars and Stripes Forever.
"For me, the performance of the students was the most emotional part, I was so proud," said Marotz. "It was more than just a program, it was an emotional outlet for everyone involved."

Aichool-sponsoreo ski trips to the beautiful Colorado slopes, Steamboat Springs and Breckenridge have been a solid tradition, but none were more memorable than this years ski trip to Winter Park, Colorado.
The twelve hour bus trip would have normally been a boring and tiresome ride, but this years group made
good use of their time. Many played the ever famous poker game. The high-low tournaments were popular with the guys, but Julie Bonnett's promiscuous question book was a hit by both sexes. Then there were the old faithfuls like headphones and Scott Peterson's Nintendo Game Boy.
One of the highlights of the long bus trip was Mr. Spahn and his wonderful singing voice. He preformed 'Hard to handle' by the Black Crows and various other Black Crow songs.
Skiing was obviously the main objective for most of the students this year, but for a specific eight, a world
record was on •the list. Lars Frisk, Gina Hoffman, Eric J ochens~ Angie Letts, Paige Luthans, Anne Madden, Tamer Mahrous, and TarekMahrous, set out for the greatest tubing excursion ever.
"We were told by this guy at the ski resort about a world record that was set for the most people to fly the jump at once. So we decided that we would try it out. We went down the mountain on our tubes in a star formation. The second time we defied gravity," said senior, Tamer Mahrous.
"We tried many different positions, but we found that hooking arms in the seven pointed star formation proved to be most exhilarating," said senior, Anne Madden. Many of the students found it mofe -economical to bring their own food on the trip since the rooms had built in kitchen units. Senior, Nikki Ringenberg found it even more economical to boil water in a tea kettle for some tea. Instead of boiling the water, she just cooked the tea kettle, she seemed to like her tea kettles well done with the bottom off.
It seemed that the majority of the students had a great time on the ski trip and hopefully this is true of all of the years to come.

By being the only Lincoln Public High School having a junior high connected, East is unique. But how unique do the students feel?
Manuel Bartels, a junior high studehthere at East, commented, "I don't really care. Basically, you can come and fit right in."
"The advantage to all of this is it helps prepare you better for tenth grade," said Jennifer Milton.
Being in with the high school gave junior high students a chance to take harder and more advanced classes, it gave them a challenge, and they got more variety along with great teachers.

Roof the best and spike the rest. The fresmen volleyball teams made much progress in the short nine weeks that they played volleyball.
Missy Mercer, the varsity freshman coach, and Cris Cords, the rerserve coach, took the varsity freshman teams to new levels. They started out by improving each and every players' basic skills.
After that came the hard part, putting the players together as a team. Volleyball is a team sport, one outstanding player does not make the whole team. The coaches put a big emphasis on playing as a team. If you do not work well with other people, sooner than later you will find out that volleyball is not the sport for you.
Althought, the varsity record may not have shown it, they only won three games, they worked extremly hard.
"Practice was very intense, Mercer kept us working all the time, " said Missy Perau.
Many of the girls who play freshman ball hope to go to high school and play on the varsity volleyball team. Playing ninth grade volleyball is only the first step on the way to a high school career.
Wow would you look at that! What? I don't see it, Missy Perau and Teresa Palmer try to find out whats so interesting up there. (Michelle Cameron)

The freshmen basketball teams split their outcomes this year as the reserve team completed their season with a record of 9-1 and a city championship, while the varsity team compiled a record of 4-6.
Under the coaching of Mr. Jeff Rippey, the reserve' s starters Mark John, Ben Huck, Chris Backemeyer, Derek Dirksen, Sean Prude, and Craig Hoffman assembled a dominating force on the court. Hoffman led the way with an average of sixteen points per game. Their twenty six point win over Lefler in the city championship game overshadowed their only defeat in the season from a thrilling one point overtime loss.
However, the varsity team, led
by Matt Bakowski, Bart Miller, Greg Fought, Paul Tl10ber, Blake Reigert, and Kris Carpenter was not as successful.
"We didn't play as well as we could have," said Thober.
"We had a really good team and we should have won more games," Thober adds. Many players felt the lack of a fast break offense hindered their play. In addition, much of the freshman basketball talent was equally divided between the two teams
"I feel we have a lot more potential than we displayed this season. And we still have several years to prove it," says Fought. Fought led the team in scoring with an impressive average of fifteen points per game. _

Qne word used to describe the Freshman Varsity Girls Basketball team was surprising. Why? Kelly Maack helped to answer that question.
"We had a lot of fun and the season went unexpected for the most part. We won the games we should have lost and we lost the games we should have won."
The Freshman Varsity basketball team worked hard and gave a great effort to be their best.
"We didn't have a good sea-
son on the court, but we worked hard, and made the season a lot of fun," said Kelly Maack, who has been playing basketball since sixth grade.
"111e coach was awesome , and we worked hard, because he made practice fun," said Becky Fricke.
The coach of the team was Lance Kingery. Giving it your all was the only way to go for these basketball players. He introduced the word "gorilla" to the basketball squad.
"Gorilla's are when you have
to run if you sit down," said Fricke without a smile.
The squad had a lot of close calls for the season, losing by only one or two point:s. For instance , East led the game against Mickel until the end, losing 38-39.
"We decided to let them win," Maack said jokingly.
The team improved throughout the year and made the season successful.
A·game of talent and ability. The ninth grade freshman heavyweight and lightweight football team proved that they had what it took to play football. It was not just one player that made the season great, it was the whole team.
The heavy weight football team had .500 season. They won three and lost three on the freshman turf. One of the highlights of the seasons was the 250 slashing of Northeast.
East lost to Northeast on the first match-up but enjoyed the sweet revenge of winning their second game against

'4We all just like to screw around and play football, "said Tom Rath. The lightweight freshman football team had its ups and downs but for the most part they had a fun season. • The team finished 3-3 for the
year. The closest game of the year came against Southeast, it came down to the last final seconds. The teams defense worked very well , and when everything came together, their offense became lethal.
The head coach of the lightweights was Ray Corona. The team captains were Tony Ringenberg, Tom Rath, Ryan Bruns, and Bob Baker. The high point of the season came when East demolished Lincoln High' s lightweights. They creamed them 30-6.

",,..,.1. he Swimmer," "The Pot Boiler," and "The Dearly Departed," were three plays performed by the junior high early in second semester. Approximately 120 seventh, eighth, and ninth grade East junior high students tried out for the plays.
The outcome was 25 talented actors and actresses who got the chance to show off their talents. The plays were directed by the senior high drama students, and practice ran for a couple of hours after school for a month.
"I was impressed," said Ann Massie' s . This thought was shared by many students and parents As the curtain went down on staurday and Friday night. The Thursday night show drew
a large crowd while Friday night was close to being sold out. Each of the three plays ran for about thirty minutes a piece.
"Yeah, it was great!" said Melissa Schwaner, a ninth grader who played a main role in ''The Swimmer."
The best thing about being in the plays were the cast party and getting to meet new people. You got to know everyone very well after working with them everyday after school for a month.
Each participant worked hard and made a successful debut on the stage. Who knows, maybe someday one of our actors or actresses might even be starring in Nightmare on Elm Street, part 104.

Rtting service before entertainment: that was the goal of the Junior High Student Council which spent a lot of energy doing different seivices. These services included a canned food drive and a campaign to collect food baskets for needy people across the city.
Even though the Junior High Student Council spent a lot of time helping the needy they were still able to keep up the tradition of having fun by having dances, and different activities
During the first part of December the Junior High Student Council sponsored a canned food drive. To help get the students more involved in this service prizes were given out to the home rooms. Their other December activity was sponsoring a dance.
The first place prize of free doughnuts was giv en to Kathy Hardesty's second period class. Se cond plac e went to Mr. Young ' s class , and t hey were given free admission to one of the dances.
The money the JH Student council earned from t hese services was put to good use by giving so me of it to the needy and the rest went into the JH account.
They also gave out Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to families who had fallen on hard times.

Also, the group had a council exchange with Crete. On Friday February 15, Crete came to East, then on the 22, East went to visit the Crete student council.
Junior High Students wanting to be on the council are elected by first getting a teacher's recommendation, then they ran in an election hoping they would be chosen.
The seventh graders were elected differently. They had to give a speech at an assembly to their fellow classmates on why they wanted to be on the JH Student Council and why they thought they would be a good asset.
The eighth and ninth graders were chosen at the end of the year. Jenny Dudley , Ed Ring , and Kasey Matoush all said they would run for JH student council again next year. They also plan to try and get onto the Senior High Student Council.
Kasey ' s advice to his fellow classmates about JH Student Council is , "I recommend it to anyone Go for it! "
" It ' s fun , I met a lot of new people," said Ed.
" It gives you school spirit and lets you know what is going on," Jenny said.
The Junior High Student Council · sponsors were Dave Stohl, Mickie Frazier- Koontz, and Dennis Butt.

Q ! What is the most embarrassing thing your parents have done to you in public?
~UNDOIR H D H BDN~~IRB
A, Kyle Hesser --The night of orientation my mom read my locker combination--out loud.
Lesound of music comes through loud and clear from East, s Junior High singers. The two Junior High select singing groups at East are Spartan Singers and Select Choir.
The tryouts were a great experience for everyone. Ninth grade Spartan Singer Matt Krohn said, "It was strange to hear just yourself singing without anyone else.,,
Spartan Singers is a small dancing group while Select Choir is
larger and sings more of a classical type of music.
If you don ,t want to try out for a select group you can take a regular class. There is a group for anyone who wants to sing. Many of the singers in these two groups hope to participate in some type of a High School singing program.
IC s a great way to start signing. Krohn also commented, "Select groups are good for the people who make it but some people get their
feelings hurt.,, The kids may not be singing their favorite kind of music but it, s a start.
Through music, people can express their emotions all the way from love to hate. Music is a way to learn how to express yourself. For some people, relaxing is listening to music, for others it is singing.
If you love to sing , East is the place to be!

Junio r High Singers
Keeping the beat is a ritual that many junior high instrumental players do everyday. The musical talent of the junior high shows through in the stage band, orchestra, wind ensemble, prep band, and symphonic band. No matter what you play or what level you are at, there is a musical group for you.
The first step is usually prep band where you improve your basic techniques. This group is usually for the seventh graders and for beginning instrumentalists.
"You get used to playing different music and sight reading," said Amanda Taylor, an instrumentalist in the j>rep band.
The next step is usu~ly symphonic band. This band is composed of the woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The highest levels are wind ensemble, orchestra, and stage band.
Wind ensemble, orchestra, and stage band are teacher permission classes. To become a member of one of these bands, you must try out each year. Only the violins in orchestra don't have to try out every year.
"It's really fun," said Molly Taylor, a violinist in orchestra, "At
first I thought the music was really hard , a real change from grade school. But now it's a lot easier to sight read and play the music."
In all the bands there are competitions for chairs called challenges. Each person, the challenger and the challegee , choose a song Then they each record it for Mr. Rogers to judge later. If the challenger wins he or she moves up to th e challengee ' s chair position and the other moves down. If the challenger loses, the chair positions remain the same. If they 1ie, they stay in their current positions if it is their first tie. If it is a second time that they have tied, they switch chair positions. These challeges keep the instrumentalists in top form so they won't be beat out of their current position.
"I've challenged and I've been challenged many times. It's really kind of nerve-ra~king when you ' re in the room taping your piece, but you feel really good if you win, " stated Molly Taylor
Stroke it! Eight grader Kristen Miller practices music on her harp Practice helps Kristen to become the best she can be.

Bursting Into Junior High
Life goes (chomp) a little faster (chomp) than normal (chomp) for gummers when starting junior high. (Pop!) It takes time to adjustto the fastpaced hetic new way of life.
Making the transition from sixth grade to seventh is stressful. Some examples of stress put upon seventh graders each and every year are time limits in between classes and the load of homework (which they seem to carry around all day).
Getting used to new people is a major step in adjusting to junior high. Making new friends and hanging onto the old ones is a lot harder than it should be.
"On the first day of school, I thought people were going to offer drugs and beat you up," said Jacie Huck.
Before coming to junior high, man ~ seventh graders hear many rumors.
"There are more opportunities at East than other junior highs," said Alysia Kinnersley. There are many advanced classes that junior high kids can take.
"There are a lot of high school activities that you can go to that makes junior high not seem so different," said Peter Schlegel. Junior High gets the best of both worlds. You can either go to the high school varsity basketball game or to a junior high dance.
"In junior high you have more freedom and friends," said Carrie Compbel. Junior high is a big step but _ after the first few weeks you're just another short person walking down the hallway.

Class "A" Stude-nts
In mostclassesand"A"means an up-slip. In Mr. Barrett's eighth grade American studies class it means more hard work.
Since 1982, Robertt Barrett has had students in the top of his class participate in a third quater seminar on the Fetterman Massacre.
"I wanted to reward the students who had better· quality work," said Barrett, and according to past prodigies he has. Nienty-five percent of those who participate in the seminar say it should be continued. Only two students in ten years have have declined the opportunity.
Students are given a seven page workssheet, a tape recorder, a set pf p[anoramic photos , and nine weeks to work. At the end of the quarter they have four hour conference with Mr. Barrett to discuss what they have learned.
Dana Packard, who was in the seminar last year, said, "Mr. Barrett has a very challenging class .. .I've learned the outstanding the strategies of the Sioux and their allies." Others seem to take a more comical view of the situation. ChrisHintonreportsthatheleamed how to pronounce scheming.
"I want poetry burned in the bowels of hell, " said Jason Ost.
"I enjoy meeting with students who are intellectual, who think abstractly, and are curious," said Mr. Barrett.
Q. If you could be reincarnated as anything, what would it be? Why?
A. Melissa Schwaner- "God. Because He's awesome".
"It's real low-keyed." That's how Craig Hellwege described the Lincoln East Junior High Intramural Program. Hellwege had been invovled with the program for six years. He, along with Jeff Chartier, Greg Miller, and MattJewitt, ran the boys' program.
"The program provided recreation and reached a group of kids who wouldn't do athletics in high school," said Hellwege.
Flag football, basketball, and slam-jam basketball were the most popular sports. Two slam-jam games were played a day, and competition started at 3:30, and usually ended by 4:30. The sport invovled an 8 1/2- foot tall basket. Three points were scored for a slam and one point was scored for just shooting the ball through the hoop.
Volleyball, basketball, and
softball were offere or the girls. Michelle McQuistan and Steph Miller ran the girls' program. McQuistan and , Miller participated in intramurals in high school for three years and helped run the junior high program at East for 3 1/2 years.
The junior high intramurals program had suffered a decrease in attendance. Hellwege thought this was due to the other extra-curricular asctivities.
"There were so many other things for the kids to do," said Hellwege.
"Usually the same kids go all the way through," said Hellwege. Both Hellwege and McQuistan said that they would like to attract other kids into the intramural program.
"It's important that the interest level g~s up," McQuistan said.

A spark was brought to the world of sign language by David Parker who came to East in September to enlighten swdents.
Imagination and creativity were a big part of his show. Parker had the audience in the palm of his hands. His nickname is " The Pied Piper of Sign."
Parker learned sign language out of curiosity. He started performing parttime in 1978 and has been full time since 1983.
"I've been invited to perform at the White House three times," said Parker. He has performed in grade schools and high schools all over the country. He has also been to various conventions and his ' television apperances have also made him widely known.
He has stirred up interest in sign language in thousands of kids through his use of current slang. He uses words that kids know and use. This makes his performance different and exciting.
His music also brings a new dimension to this beautiful body language. He says that the main difference in a high school compared to somewhere else is that you have to be "really cool".
"I'm proud to be an American. .. " David Parker uses his sign language abilites, along with music to make a stunning performance. (Michelle Cameron)

Taking A Shot With Freshmen
The boy's basketball team decided to take a chance and bounce in two freshmen this year. Brian Christensen and Scott McPherren both survived the tryouts without too many scars from their elders.
"At first there was tension but then we became a team," said McPherren.
"I think it helped my basketball skills to play with people older and more experienc~ than I am," saicfMcPherren.

prelude for a high school or college career. It is a the beginning to a great future in basketball. Prac• tice was much harder than Christensen and McPherren had expected.
"You work hard and you run until you can hardly breathe," said Christensen.
They are both in an ideal position to be starters on the team as juniors or maybe even as sophomores. It also was a great chance to get their first varsity letter. It was a lot of hard work but it was worth it in the end.

"Eore!" This was uttered by thirteen boys and two girls this fall during the ninth grade golf season. Holly Zumpfe and Allison Pierce were the only two girls on the ninth grade golf team this year.
"It was strange at first, being the only two, but everyone treated us as an equal," stated Pierce.
Both Zumpfe and Pierce just started playing golf this summer. Pierce's whole family plays the sport and encouraged her to take lessons.
"I did and I liked it, so here I am," stated Pierce. , Zumpfe' s interest in golf comes from her father. "He took me out to the course one day and I really enjoyed it."
Playing on the ninth grade golf team was a way for Zumpfe to get more accustomed to the game. Pierce thought of it as a beginning towards different sports.
Both Pierce and Zumpfe are planning to go out for the varsity golf team next year.
Said Zumpfe, "I just want to play the best I can."

Eighth Grnde
#usic is a way to look into your soul and see the light of humanity. That is what 78 seventh, eighth and ninth graders think about their music.
These musicians are part of a group that call themselves the Junior Youth Orchestra (JYO). JYO is made up of the best musicians from all the junior highs in the city.
Shelly Griess,aneigth grader, is one of the six French horn players in JYO. There is a total of 18 East musicians in JYO this year.
"We play almost anything, you know; waltzes, maches, the usual stuff," said Griess. At a concert they can play anywhere from 2 to 5 songs
For anyone who has played an instrument in grade school you can remember the year-end climax which is the all-city performance. The Orchestra plays every year at that performance.
That was where Griess first decided to play the French horn.
"I was there because my sister was playing, then JYO played the William Tell Overture and I fell in love with it [the French horn]. The next year I started playing it and now I'm at that performance with the Junior Youth Orchestra," said Griess.
The practices are from 3:30 to 5:30 every Tuesday afternoon. For one hour, the musicians practice, then they have a 5 to 10 minute break And for the remainder of time, the practice.
Griess enjoys playing with JYO and hopes to be in it again next year.
"I meet a lot of new people each year-it's fun that way," said Griess. "It conflicts a little because I play volleyball and ride horses, but I like music and it's an honor to be in JYO"
Start the music. Shelly Griess gets some fresh air before going to a concert.

Flipping in Hawaii
Bounding over barriors to beat the best became more than just a dream for Kristi Huppert, it became reality. The chance ofa lifetime came about last year for Huppert when she was able to go to Hawaii for a international gymnastics competion
"It was fun although I was really nervous. There w~re people there from all over the world competing,U stated Huppert. There were two teams from Nebraska along with teams all over the United States including Washington and Minnesota. Also teams from Australia and Japan.
Huppert has been going to the Nebraska School of Gymnastics (NSG) •
for about eight years. She competes in a variety of events including bars, beam, floor, and vault.
"My parents got me started in gymnasticst said Ruppert, "I really liked it, so I stuck with it.,, Compeating takes time and persistance. Dedication is the only way to make a good athlete. Practicing every day for three to four hours is a long and tiring process but it is worth it in the end.
Since the time she started gymnastics when she was age five, Huppert has dreamed of competing in the Olympics. Someday this dream might come true •
A perfect ten! Kristi Huppert shows off part of her gymnastics floor routine. Last yet..· Huppert went to a national gymnatstics competion in Hawaii to strut her stuff.

sBump, set, spike! Playing volleyball was more than just a nine week activity for eighth graders Allison Eicher and Tamara Stutheit. They were both involved in the United States Volleybal Association (USVBA) through the program at Sports Courts in Lincoln. The program was headeq by Myron Oehlerking, Lincoln East's varsity volleyball coach.
"He helps you develop new skills that you might not already have," said Stuheit. The young athletes on the Sports Courts Juniors program got some of the best volleyball coaching around, which was a big advantage.
"He helps you if you 're having a problem," said Eicher. Eicher's older sister, Shelly, also had played for Mr. Oehlerking. The younger you were when you started volleyball , as in any other sport, the easier it was to be a member of a team. The fourteen and under team was only a beginning for most players.
"I saw my sister play and I wanted to play too," said Stutheit. It was a great experience to play aganist other teams with different playing styles. Playing for a Juniors program meant traveling to tournaments in Illinois, Florida, and Nebraska. They had toumamnets almost every weekend. The tournaments usually lasted about twelve to .fifteen hours depending on if the team made the finals.
They finished with a bang in their first tournament of the season in Omaha, Nebraska. Stutheit's team finished in third place after only two practices as a team. The three Sports Courts teams consisted of players from Pound, Culler, Lincoln Christian, and East. Shelly Griess, Katherine Pettit, and Stutheit were the only three East students on the top fourteen and under team. The second team East athletes were Tracy Divine, Allison Eicher, and Amanda Marotz. Emily Bauman was the only Spartan on the third team.
Ready Up! Tamara Studeit goes up for a block. Playing juniors volleyball is one way of making skills like blocking better. (Staci Griess)

She may not be an angel but she sounds divine. Kirsten Miller is a musician who makes heavenly music with her harp!
Mrs. Miller said, "She has wanted to play ever since she heard Harvey Griffen, who is a professional, play when she was five." She started playing in fifth grade at school after a little push from her parents. Her next step was the school orchestra. Since then she has been taking private lessons from Margret Nelson.
Miller said, "I like playing the harp because it's an unusual thing to do." The harp may be a burden to carry but the blissful music makes it's weight worth while.
"It's like the piano, once you learn the notes, it's easy," said Miller. It toook Miller a lot less time to
learn how to play the harp because of her background with the piano.
F01: the past two years she went to Strauss Center in Omaha to play for a big event called "Harpening". , There weren't a lot of musicians who play the harp so the people came from many different states. Miller also played for a known harpist by the name of Lucian Thompson in Omaha who was from New York, who has written music for the harp.
Although she had ambitions to play in college, a professional career seemed like too much. After college Miller wanted to just keep playing as a hobby because she didn't want it to become a burden. You can only make beautiful music if you enjoy doing it.
Heavenly music. Kristen Miller shows off her divine harp . before sitting down to practice. (Mrs. Miller)
Kate Kuhn is a very interesting teenager. Like most teenage girls she loves talking on the phone. "The future teenage thing, " says Kate. Kate also loves the theatre and soccer.
Kate has been involved in a couple of productions they include. Winnie the Pooh and Theatre arts Acadamey.
Most people will notice Kate's bubbly personality and her height when they first see or meet her. "People look down on you." She said.
Kate is inv loved in a lot of different activities. She likes to read, act, sing, and play sports, especially soccer. Her two favorite sports are gymnastics and soccer.
• Kate is involved with the CSA, her soccer team. Her future plans for soccer is to become a referee. On March
11 Kate took her test and then plans to be a referee in the spring.
She is also in a singing group called the AM singers. This past year she sang with the Patriotic Singers. Two of the songs she sang were God Bless America and Let There Be Peace on Earth. The group got a standing ovation.
Kate really likes East. "It has a lot of good teachers," Kate said. She describes the transition from grade school to East as it's "like a shoe, I have to grow into it," Kate said.
One of the only things Kate doesn't like about East is Gummer Hall. She hates the name. It reminds her of getting gum stuck in her hair and then crying trying to get it out.
Kate's future goal is to become famous and a good soccer player.
Memories ... . Kate is busy singing one of the songs she sang this year at one of the concerts she preformed in. Sometimes her singing is as soft as a rainy day.

Hot stuff! Brent Schroff, JP Fellin, and Ryan Burr are all engrossede in one of the latest issues of Bicycling. They like keeping their biking secrets in the dark.
Racing Towards The Future
Bike racing is becoming a very popular sport. Ryan Burr and JP Fellin are both involved in this exciting event.
JP and Ryan both race every weekend from January to November.
"You make a lot of new friends," says JP.
Ryan has been racing for ten years. His dad Paid Ryan All Five dollars to teach him how to ride a bike. JP has been riding since he was six years old. His dad also helped get him involved with this sporting event. JP's favorite part of racing is, "jumping and getting a lot of air."
Ryan and JP are both on the same racing team. All the people on their team have nicknames. JP's is "The JudgeFellin." Ryan's nickname is "Burr Boy."
They wear jerseys, helmets, and leathers for their uniforms. Sometimes they wear gloves to help keep a grip on the handle bars.
JP and Ryan both have people who give them moral support and help get them psyched up before a race.
Christy, JP's sister, gives him banners and moral support. Rob "The Ripper" Richard helps get JP psyched up before a race.
Ryan's dad gives him moral support and helps get him psyched up.
Ryan's future goals are to turn pro at the age of sixteen and be able to earn up to$ I 000 in a race.
JP's goal is to win first or second place at the Grand Nationals. In the future his dream is to become a basketball star.
MAXIN' AND RELAXIN'! Trying to catch a few rays in the cafeteria is Chad Peters. He ' s just talcing a break from the hustle and bustle of Jr High.

Ashley Haas, a current 7th grader, is constantly active and involved with dancing, acting, singing, and gymnastics.
Ashley has been dancing since she was two years old. Ashley has been involved with a couple of productions, one of which includes the Nutcracker's spring show. Ashley has been with the Midwest Ballet and the Omaha Ballet for two years.
Ashley likes the Musical theatre the best. She took voice lessons from Linda Leslie for three years and says that the voice lessons have been really beneficial.
She has been involved with gymnastics on and off since preschool. She is now involved with a prep class for gymnastics that will help prepare her for the East High team tryouts.
Ashley has been acting for six years. She has played Molly in Annie, and Michael in the play Peter Pan. Other plays Ashley has been in include: the King and I, Anything Goes, and My Fair Lady.
Ashley usually doesn't get stage fright before a show, just excited. "I start yawning when I get nervous," says Ashley. According to Ashley, she never has stage fright because when she was younger she didn't know what a big deal the shows were.
Ashley feels that East is "great." Like other 7th graders, she sometimes feels out of place when ,valking down senior hall.

Even though East High School sits on an extensive piece of land surrounded by open space, it is not an island. East High and it's students give to the community, and the community gives back to East. The interactions between school and city are many.
S.R.I., East's partner in business, employs many students, as do others such as, Amigos, Hy-Vee, and the Cookie Company.
"I like my job because it gives me money for weekend fun," said Danielle Oliver.
David Dale, an East High graduate photographs many senior pictures, along with taking some group shots of Apollonaires and Cheerleaders. In return, he, along with several other photographers show their support and appreciation of our business by purchasin~ ads in East's publications.
Lunch time found students dining at East Park, Gateway's Food Court, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Runza, Pizza Hut, Taco Inn, McDonald's, Burger King, and Mr. Pizza.
"I like lunch because I like to handle vegetables," said senior Jason Holsten.
. And who could forget the mass migration of Junior High students to Valentino's-after the football and basketball games.
There is clear evidence of a give and take situation between students and businesses. They support us by serving us and employing us, and we support them by offering them our time and talents, and patronizing their establishments.
