Shortly after 6:00 P.M. approximately sixty East Side students, teachers, and their friends left school and made their way for some "summer fun in the winter." As soon as everyone had donned their bathing suits, bikinis and in such cases as the Teen Rebels, straw hats and Hawaiian shorts the fun began. The girls were caught up in a series of getting out of the pool and being thrown back in. Meanwhile, the boys modestly displayed their diving skills. Dinner, which consisted of lasagna, meatballs, barbecued chicken, spare ribs, and a variety of delicious desserts was served midway through the evening. After dinner everyone began to relax. The girls disappeared into the girl's sauna and the boys into the boy's sauna, though, not necessarily in that order. The atmosphere was one of easy friendliness. All thoughts of school were forgotten as we all enjoyed such activities as dancing around the pool, playing ball and splashing in the water, posing for pictures or just sitting pool side with our friends. As the evening drew to a close, a more serene moor! prevailed. Couples returned to the pool for a last dance. It was slow and romantic, which gave the night a final and special touch. As long as there are Splash Parties there will be East Siders to enjoy them. Amarieo Ewsto. Mtcnaai Pimontai. Gary Vardas. Jack Wafa.

We departed from Newark Airport and arrived in Atlanta for a connecting flight and then we flew on to the "Sunshine State" for a week long adventure. Upon arrival in Orlando we were met by our tour guides. The first night a meeting was held by the travel agent who explained the itinerary for the week. Afterwards some students went for a late-night swim in the hotel pool or explored International Drive with its interesting shopping arcade. Epcot Center is made up of two parts. The Future World, a place of new ideas and innovations in communications, energy and transportation. The other part is the World Showcase which shows the accomplishments and cultures of many European countries. There were many activities for us to do and see in all of these interesting places. In Italy, Robert Pachana and David Fortenberry were found viewing street actors performing a funny skit entitled "Dennis the Menace of Venice" and also seen there was Mike Zamora taste-testing the piz a to compare it to Down Neck's finest. Seen in other countries were Carmela Rodrigue having her portrait painted in France and Keer Burley purchasing souvenirs in Morocco and Germany. Some East Siders were found at Disney World as well as Epcot Center in many of the following places: The Jungle Cruise, The Haunted Mansion, Carousel of Progress or Space Mountain. On our free time some of us also visited Sea World. El Mercado (a shopping mall) and the Elvis Presley Museum. Students, teachers and their guests enjoyed an exciting time during their spring break. This trip was a great success tor all.

We as rising stars have seen a change physically, mentally, and spiritually in our lives. Through out our four years we have learned to understand and appreciate one another and together form the school spirit and unity that depicts the perfect constellation of stars. We have also put pride in ourselves and built a strong academic as well as a social foundation for our lives will not end here. As rising stars we will continue to grow, develop, and build confidence in our undertakings based on the skills and values we learned at East Side High School. As our years at East Side come to an end and the thought of leaving begins to set in, there are feelings of uncertainty mixed with anticipation. Ideas for the future shine in our minds of what we will become. Our climb as "Rising Stars” begins. There are endless paths to choose from. Picking the correct one is sometimes a difficult task, but teachers and counselors help to guide us as we make decisions. During this confusing time, however, there are shining moments. No one is likely to forget the Splash Parties, Disney World, the Prom, or the anticipation of our trip to the Poconos. In our years at East Side High School, we as "Rising Stars" have developed a great sense of achievement and character. Throughout our four years many students have proven |ust what stars they can be from a performing star, to a football star, to an achievement star. So as we draw close to graduation day, we grow more hopeful in that we will reach our goals and fulfill our dreams. Leaving will bring sadness but we leave knosving that we are "Stars On The Move." 6 Student Lit L xJa DaStva demonstrates new software tty fellow classmates James Tap«a practices before a band performance WT e improving SAT skits East S dcrs listen with great interest as a formula a explained Student Life 78 Student LifeStars Perform at East Side During the course of Rock 'N' Roll history, many great artists have come and gone. They make their mark with one Dig hit and then are never heard from again. It takes an enormous amount of talent to withstand the test of time in a business where you're hot or you're not. This year, Ms. Savidis decided to spark some electricity by bringing rising stars to perform at East Side She and her industrial art group decided on Ba kslreels. Bat kstreets is a band whose name is well known along Jersey's shore as a Bruce Springsteen typo band. As the concert date drew close there was much expectation concerning the event. Was Backstreets going to live up to everyone's expectations? The reaction from the audience proved that they surpassed all expectations. On May 23rd the auditonum vibrated as it never did before The band played tor two energetic hours and then finally had a break. During this time the crowd transferred to the cafeteria for pizza, refreshments, and music by D.J. TIX. After intermission students returned to the auditorium for another hour. The Backstreets concert ended with a bang as they played a final, "Jersey Girl." It left the girls screaming for more and started memorial weekend off just right. Backstreets bums up the stage with their excellent music The keyboard player moves to the rhythm o» the rnosc Playing to the beat, the drummer keeps up with the band Student Lite 9Almost Paradise On the evening of May 2nd, 1986 at the Casa Stoia Restaurant a feeling of excitement and fren-ziness was in the air. Mr. Chill, the Junior Class Advisor, welcomed the radiant couples as they made their debut at the Junior Prom. The usual crowd in jeans and sneakers took on a more formal look in dazzling gowns, elegant tuxedos and delicate corsages. The evening progressed as D.J. Freddy Freak played the theme song, "Almost Paradise." Everyone then moved on to an appetizing buffet-style dinner, a pleasing change from the usual peanut butter and jelly sandwiches served in the cafeteria. An added touch to this special gala was the coronation of Paul Sousa and Sandra Migoyo as King and Queen of the Prom. More dancing and socializing continued as the evening came to an end when once again the theme song was player!. The pictures will remain in the scrapbooks but May 2nd will forever be engraved in the hearts of those who for one evening lived the reality of "Almost Paradise."

Dazzling costumes! Shining performers! An event long awaited by many was a few minutes away as friends and relatives eagerly searched for an empty seat in the already packed auditorium. As you may have guessed this event was the Fashion show held April 18 and 19. 1986. The show consisted of two categories; fashion and talent. In the fashion category students modeled one of this year's most popular styles, the Miami Vice look, later in the show the look and glamour of Dynasty was featured. In between modeling some students demonsirated their abilities in singing and dancing by portraying some of today's hottest stars. Such portrayals of Barbra Streisand by Paula Garcia. Whitney Houston by Keer Burley. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band by Raymond Montalvo and his group, the band Wham with Gary Verdes portraying George Michael were some of the show's attractions. This year an extra was added to the program. For the very first time we had our own group of Chippendale’s. The girls lumped, cheered, and screamed "take it all off," during their dance routine. As the evening came to an end the performers went on stage for one last time. Mr. Krolin thanked the audience for their support and the performers for a wonderful show. Jubilation came to a close, but the smiles remained on everyone's faces as they walked out of the auditorium discussing the night's entertainment. 14 Student LZeGood »oc s help make Carlos Gafanha s Miami Vice stive ex tromety up-to-dale Pedecton that sizzles makes Angel Rrvera an irresistible ' ch pcndaie todofcze At his best with the captivating Warm Vice look Mike Pimentel strides with a fashionable style Student Lite ISStud L to 17Stale Champion, Canos Martins, on he way to another victory 18 Orveron Pago SportsSPORTS East Siders have always been good at whatever they do. especially in the sports area, and this year was no exception The Red Raiders performed exceedingly well in all aspects of their particular game In the fall, the football and soccer teams worked hard and proved that they could succeed.

From attending a Civics Club dance to just listening to a club report; we look forward to our extra curricular activities. They have always offered a change from the regular classes and give us a chance for getting involved. These activities have not only been lots of fun. but they have also provided some very rewarding experiences. For example, the Tessalations club not only ennches our mathematical abilities, but it has given us a chance to enter the New Jersey Math League contest which has been most rewarding. Working on the yearbook has provided us with an insight into the journalistic world. We found that it takes discipline, organization, writing skills and love for A M. meetings. All the extra-curricular activities help create an atmosphere here of unity and a sense of working together in forming that all important school spmt.Just Splashing Around On December 5. 1986 at the Holiday Inn in Elizabeth.

It has many interesting topics about student activities. At East Side High School the Library serves as the center for instructional materials and equipment. Its function is to locate, select, organize, provide, and coordinate these materials and equipment in order to reinforce the cir-riculum. implement learning, and work with teachers and administration to develop library programs. Here the students learn the use of the library as a source of knowledge, enjoyment, and inspiration The library provides a non classroom setting where students learn to work alone and in groups under the guidance of their teachers and the librarians. In this way. it contributes to the growth of independent thinking, develops techniques of studying effectively, and provides an atmosphere for developing desirable attitudes toward reading and communication. The purposes and objectives of the weightlifting club are based on the techniques of the whole background of the weight lifting theory. For example the club emphasizes the proper method of repetitions and sets in lifting weights. Also, it enhances the importance of weight lifting in an individual’s health, muscle development, strength, endurance, and in all areas of athletics Each member can benefit from this activity by working on his own work-out at his own pace. The weight lifting instructor corrects members every week and improves their use of the equipment according to the length of time spent at the gym The members can create a feeling of togetherness which motivates each individual to further pursue weight lifting at home or at a local YMCA NLWSPAPFR Front Row.

With their knowledge, guidance, and patience they have helped us to understand ourselves and have made us aware of the great opportunities available after graduation. We all have certain classes and teachers that we look forward to seeing each day and these are the ones that we will remember when we recall our high school days. We will never forget the times Mr. Molmaro. on the day of his “big" test, would wear the answers on a T-shirt under his jacket, or when we had to perform surgery when a tray of frogs was brought out in Ms. Gonnelli's biology class. In years to come as we look through this book we will remember them not just as our teachers, but as our friends.64IN RECOGNITION John J. Golba was born on September 15, 1939.

D.C. for a week through the Close Up program sponsored by the Board of Education. The trip began in December with a two day visit to Trenton for a look at the state government and federal buildings. On a Sunday in March the students left Newark by train and headed for the Twin Bridges Hotel just outside the nation’s capital. Each East Sider shared his or her room with a student from Washington State. From this there developed friendships that may last a lifetime. During their busy week Luis, Francisco, and Alda visited Federal Buildings, monuments, and Crystal City. At Capitol Hill they attended seminars with prominent members of different career fields, attended a debate, and were given an insight into the different law making bodies. During his free time Luis Santos saw an off Broadway production at Ford's Theater while Alda went souvenir hunting with her newly made friends. The highlight of the program came towards the end of the week when students had the opportunity to hear the president and ask him questions. Finally, students visited Williamsburg. Virginia, a restored colonial village. Upon returning to D.C. everyone enjoyed a final dinner at Washington's Presidential Hotel and then attended a memorable farewell dance. On Saturday morning the students left Washington. D.C. and solemnly returned to Newark. Alda said. "It was a beautiful experience." Indeed it was a learning and fun event which we hope many more students have the opportunity to enjoy. Francisco Mendonca. Alda Sardo. and Luis Santos. Close Up participants.

We entered at that time a new phase of life as we walked through the doors of East Side High School. We soon learned that we had to take responsibility for ourselves and also to act as mature and confident young adults The years have passed and it's hard to believe that we are now finally seniors! Senior year is the year we all look forward to. Whether it's because it's our last or because it's the most memorable Over the past four years we have accomplished many things We absorbed a great deal of learning. |omed numerous school activities, made worthy friendships and most important attained self-achievement. Our high school years will also recall the happy times we had together with our "family" of friends and teachers from 8:30 to 2 30. A period in time in which we spent many exciting and fun-filled moments. Now, as we prepare to leave East Side, we face career decisions that will concern our future as to whether or not to continue our education Even though we will all be going our separate ways we will all definitely remember East Side High School and what it meant to us. 176 Closing Paul Alves 1986 Sorter class president passes inc torch to Michael Sostak during the graduation ceremoniesA lovely keepsake of graduation day.
