Just what were good times at East High? Supporting basketball, foot- ball, baseball and Softball games or any type of sport . . . the first day of school seeing new and old friends . . . the last day of school, looking for- ward to summer fun. Countless activities throughout the whole year created many of the good times for students to always remember in later years. For seniors, all good times will always be remembered. Senior Jodi Henderson ' s explanation of good times was Being able to be yourself because you ' re a senior and eve- ryone looks up to you. Not only supporting sports but tak- ing part in them constituted good times for many athletes. For senior Barry Dyer, Being a part of the foot- ball and baseball teams was very important. Jody Bell ' s definition of good times was getting together for group activities such as basketball games and the senior ski trip. Activities like these are really fun and they bring students closer together. Senior Jill Jefferson believed that good times was having released time and only three classes a day. Having good times was very impor- tant to many. Everyone had his own way and his own style of creating good times. Good Times are . . . standing around in the hallways during lunch hour for seniors Bart Baker, Alan Gustafson, Kevin Moore, Doug Hasstedt, Todd Roorda, Brian Wolfkill, Rick Lingren, Mike Lynch, Bob Little. 24 GOOD TIMES

As many parents and teachers often exclaim, You ' re in high school now, so act your age! Well, a great number of students found that a part of that maturity wasthe responsibility of a job. When a student came upon the problem of a lack of spending money, employment was often the solution. Places of employment for these students ranged from Arby ' s to Zachary ' s. One obvious setback to getting a job during the school year was the interference working caused with school work. Many students showed up in class with heavy eyelids after working late the night before. Though there were some difficulties, with the wages he or she earned, a student was able to go many places and do a number of things; for exam- ple, attending any of the many East High athletic games, eating at restau- rants and going skating. Even though the umemployment rate went sky high and many hours were spent standing in line waiting for a job opening, a great number of East students defied these problems and became employed. So the employment world had to watch out— today ' s youth were movin ' up! Working school nights and weekends, senior Brenda Rose puts her pen away and goes to work at Richman Gordman. McDon
