I remember when things used to be so simple. I played in the rain, drank Kool-aid, and rode my bike. I didn ' t know about love and I thought all persons of the opposite sex had cooties. I didn ' t know or care how much money the government was spending in space exploration. I didn ' t care about the starving people of the world. I didn ' t care about alcohol or drug abuse. I didn ' t care about Vietnam. I don ' t even remem- ber who was president when I was five or six or even seven. Nor did I car e. I ' d never heard of social injustice or prejudice and sex discrimina- tion. Things were so easy before I grew up. Every- thing was so easily defined in my wide but inno- cent eyes. I trusted so emphatically whatever I was told. After all, why would anyone lie to me? I remember simplicity. I remember a child. Today I only watch the rain from my window, and I still drink a glass of cherry Kool-aid once in a while, and of course occasionally I ' ll ride my bike. But somehow it ' s not quite the same. It will never be quite the same. Tracy Richardson Copy Jamie Davis

The Child Fades ' - » ii ' , The Child My bedroom seems to be a secret playroom tor my toys while I ' m away. I see that my Winnie-the-pooh has been reading my favorite childhood book and that my clowns have wiped the tears off of their cheeks. My coloring book has another page colored in it and the crayons are sprawled all over my floor. My roller skates have been fas- tened to my first doll ' s feet and she has fallen out of them. I begin to put things back in order and I walk into my closet and a child lies asleep. Cathy Nickels 11 Memories, Glimpses of the past, Places, friends, events that never last.

r Dress-up day turned the students of EHS into real ladies and gentlemen. Like a lot of guys, senior Rusty Reed wore a sharp three piece suit. Wasted Days . The five days of spirit week were anything but wasted. Punk day, cowboy and Indian day, red and gray day, dress up day and the float competition are just a few of the activities that helped to make spirit week a big success. The most unique of the daytime activities had to be punk day. Everything from purple and pink hair and painted faces to plastic ties and Devo glasses were seen on Trojan bodies throughout the school. Spirit week also offered some nighttime events such as ping pong and volleyball tournaments, Burger King point night and the Campus Life burger bash. All of the week ' s activities were building and leading up to the climax, the Homecoming parade. When Friday finally arrived the parade in the boys gym featured Mrs. Sharon Jones and Mr. Byron Carrier as Grand Marshals. For the se- cond year in a row, the seniors lost the float com- petition. The sophomore class had the winning float with their interpretation of a church and the slogan, The Knights don ' t have a prayer. As the pep session Punk day was a tremendous success with a large number of students participating. Displaying their unique punk garb are sophomores Laura Lawrence. Jamie Sheffer, Lauren Buschey. and Kathy Gordon. came to an end so did a very successful spirit week. But two questions still remained on every Trojan ' s mind: who will win the game and who will be the 1980 Homecom- ing queen. Both questions were answered the very next evening . . .
