This is the environ- ment in which East proudly stands. The unique combination of surroundings acts as a learning center and playground for stu- dents, who take full advantage of the magnificent resources. No other school can boast such a di- verse and dynamic environment so easily accessible to its students. The Capitol is an invaluable lab- oratory for government classes and the United Nations club which often visit to experiment and learn about politics through mock legislatures, lectures and in- terviews. Closer to home, we find the vastness of City Park across the street from school. East's school surroundings offer a little of everything to the lucky students who take advantage of them. Those who integrate these different aspects of their environ- ment receive a truly unique and special experience. DYNAMICALLY DIFFERENT above and beyond An integrated part of the East environment, the state capitol, heart of the Rocky Mountain empire, provides a unique center for government educa- tion. 2 SURROUNDINGS ht V it V W..

Trying to design your own social life can be a long and tiresome task. East students use their free time for many social activities, whether it is a small lunchtime study session or an extravagant party on Friday night. Students basically divide their time to: school or extra-curricular. Despite students' desire for this valuable free time from school, they use this idea to smooth out a rough academic schedule. Most students become close friends with their teachers, thus making classes more fun and personal. Other students find lunchtime, where the latest gos- sip and Twinkies are shared, to be especially relaxing. On top of the school's social offerings, extra-cur- ricular activities play a key role in a student's wound-up time. Some like to join specialized clubs like Black Student Alliance and, the most pop- ular, Drama Club. It is never forgotten, however, that most of the student's time is mainly spent socializing with friends. This comraderie can lead to large to carpools, a night spent at one of the local movie theaters like Colorado Four, or an exotic foreign film at the Esquire. Friends find student council dances, such as the East-Manual sock hop, a great place to loosen their tied knots and fade their blues. A usual night at the dance includes the guys taking their dates out to dinner then the dance and maybe a chaotic party close by. Student council also provides entertainment by new con- tests, guest speakers, student unity and a more relaxed school atmo- sphere. These social activities express the students' desire to expand their so- cial horizons and get wilder.
