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.
