In the spring of ' 71, staff members enthusi¬ astically snatched ideas from reliable sources--other yearbooks, magazines, peo¬ ple--and even came up with a few of their own. There was a consensus among us that we would create something good, even if it meant stepping on a few toes or breaking a few conventions. Then we began to work; that was when the trouble started. Specically, a substantial majority of the staff members wanted to experience with a number of innovations that would revolu¬ tionize the state of yearbook journalism at East. The problem was that most of the stu¬ dent body wasn ' t ready to accept these changes; I ' m not sure they are now. These so-called radical ideas included the concept of a two-volume, soft cover year¬ book in a protective box. We felt this would give us an opportunity to categorically divide the candid pictures and commentary sections from the class and organizational pictures. This idea appealed to us because it solved the problem of establishing a book with sec¬ tions that were unified and not artificially related. A cry went up from the halls of tradition. Who ever heard of a soft-cover yearbook, much less one with two volumes? No one. So it couldn ' t be a good idea, right? The idea was dropped. Then another brainstorm came along. How about something new to brighten up that hum¬ drum section we all know and hate--the senior section? We decided that a three- quarter length pose of a person in the surroundings of his or her choice would re¬ veal a great deal about the person and establish some individual identity. A cry went up from the fat people of the world. They were joined by a number of not- so-fat people who felt there was no need for the change. Again, we comprimised. The final decision was to include both types of shots--three quarter length and the standard head shots. If you look at the senior section you will see how badly we lost on that idea. Still smarting from our last two semi-de¬ feats, we cautiously began tangling with the problems of financing the yearbook. Advertisers were scarce. Printing and film prices soared, D ust in time to at the freeze]. We were faced with several alter¬ natives. We could cut back costs by deleting costly sections of the book as the ' 71 book did. We could go into debt deeply as pre¬ vious groups. The result? Well, along came compromise number three. Clubs and teams were asked to help finance their posed pictures and underclassmen were asked to pay fifty cents for their class pictures as had been the prac¬ tice at West for many years. Once again, a cry wnet up--this time from just about everyone. We had no other reasonable alternatives--so we stuck with the idea. Meanwhile, the administration was being bombarded with the same complaints that we had been getting. In response to the wishes of the masses, the idea of a yearbook faculty review board was born. This was to insure that the yearbook staff didn ' t force their arbitrary decisions as to what is good and bad on the student body against their wishes. Somewhere along the way, the idea fell through for reasons unknown to us. In any case, we went ahead with our plans. About this time we were also debating what we would use as a theme and title for the book. Ideas came slowly. Suddenly, we realized that what we had was a bad case of the proverbial not being able to see the forest for the trees. What had we geen getting since the creation of the ' 72 staff -- feedback.. .feedback from scores of teachers, administration, custo¬ dians, parents, student.. .the list goes on and on. For that reason, we chose the title and theme of Feedback ' 72. In this case, we are transmitting a feedback of the year and you, the reader, are receiv¬ ing it. Feedback it-self requires that the transmitter be sensitive to the real responses of the receiver, and in turn it requires that the receiver be willing to attempt to test what he has received either by performing or by checking with the transmitter as to his meaning, intent, purpose, and function. The purpose of this yearbook is to relate the conglomeration of reactions and counter-re¬ actions that occur throughout the school DBdCIrf ' 72 year--whether they concern a basketball game or an atomic test--and in this way, not only provide a memory book, but also en¬ courage change. Bringing about change means we have to show some of the not-so-great things about East and the world at large. The staff is convin¬ ced however, that a book that only reveals the RAH- RAH side of life makes no effort to insure that there will still be things to RAH- RAH about in the future. We want to put you--the reader--in the shoes of the debater who just finished a match with a perfect record and the student who has been suspended for too many tardies. We hope this book has a little of what all 3000 [approximately] of us have felt sometime throughout the year. No doubt some of what we have to say will infuriate some readers while another part of the book will be what somebody has wanted said for a long time. If you have an open mind, you ' re ready to digest Feedback ' 72 . ♦From John Keltner ' s Interpersonal Speech-Communication: Elements structures, 1970, Wadsworth Publishing Company, Inc. page 97 I firmly believe that if ' we do not meet the problem of environmental pollution with all the creativity and ingenuity of our age, then within a very shott time nothing else will matter for there will be nothing else to worry about. Mark O. Hatfield Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them. John Ruskin Obvious display of non-involvement” is a popular way of get¬ ting attention at Belleville East. Sitting down during the school song and the National Anthem is a sure method to get someone to look at you . Perhaps this is the only way some people CAN get attention. I am totally in favor of involvement in school activities. I sup¬ pose I cannot present an unbiased opinion because nearly all of my friends either participate or support some form of school ac¬ tivity. I believe that those who participate in extracurricular activities demonstrate a great deal of self-pride in their accomplishments. Personally, I have a great deal of pride in this school. It means something to me to be able to wear the uniform of Belleville East in interscholastic events. I have pride in anything that I might do to help to further the respectability of this school. I should think it would thrill any individual to be one of the few with an opportunity to represent East and this would inspire him to give his best effort. I also realize there are people who have no interest at all in school activities and they should not be put down for their feelings. I don ' t, however, see any point in some of these individuals putting down those who are involved in activities. I should think that being a part of any team, club or other or¬ ganization would give one a sense of accomplishment and re¬ sponsibility. It seems most people who frown on school activi¬ ties are those who were, at one time, participants, but event¬ ually failures in those activities. Isn ' t it every little boy ' s dream to become a successful athlete in some sport? Some people chose this type of goal and strove long and hard to achieve success. How can these, same people be put down for achieving, or attempting to achieve, a worth¬ while goal? This is just my personal idea of achievement and I don ' t appreciate being looked down upon because I am an athlete. Those active in other school activities such as drama, debate, journalism, scholastics, language clubs, and so forth, probably don ' t appreciate being looked down upon for their involvement, either. To develop school pride, one must first have SELF-PRIDE. If an outsider makes a remark about East, are they actually cut¬ ting down the school itself, A building, B100, or the indivi¬ duals who make up the school? One of those individuals is YOU. If a person doesn ' t have enough pride to stand up for himself how can he expect others to have respect for him? I ' m glad I was able in my three and one half years to observe East in a relatively objective way. I ' ve never been on the side of either of the extremes: Super Lancer spirit as opposed to anti-spirit . East isn ' t really a bad school, as far as high schools go, it ' s a 6 pro Am com good one. The people mess it up. They complain about too little freedom, or too much, but when the time comes to stand up and be heard, they can ' t be found. They ' re too busy littering the snack bar or burning trees by the creek. The other demanders are also too busy—making posters for the big game or deciding what dress to wear to what dance. For example, the issue of open campus was brought up and students and faculty members were asked to come and express their views at an open meeting. There wasn ' t a hand-full of students or treachers present. Similar committees have been formed to present the demands of the students, but, without support, these selected few haven ' t any power or strength to influence the administration. If students really want regulations changed and to gain more control it is necessary to get sufficient evidence proving that a change would be beneficial to the entire school. Present the evidence to the administration after preparing a plan of action. Find students and teachers who agree with the issue and are willing to back it up. Most of all, make sure the reasons are substantial, because if you really have a case and can prove it with sound reasoning, you ' ll hit a sore spot. Students who come up with better ideas than those already-thought-out by the administration are usual¬ ly turned down by the big A . Don ' t be discouraged, however. Let them know you ' re not puppets! Even if your demands aren ' t met right away, they may be realized in the future and benefit other students. Finally, let ' s look at school spirit . There is too much emph¬ asis placed on sports and the value of pep assemblies. Many students are forced into attending assemblies. Why should such individuals be forced to sit for thirty minutes against their will, listening to screaming and yelling concerning something they don ' t care about? Last year I asked this question and was an¬ swered, Because it is an educational-learning experience; it teaches you to react in a crowded situation. Ah, yes it does do that: it teaches you how to dodge jabbing elbows, ignore knees gouging your back, and to place hands over splitting ear¬ drums-not to mention accustoming your posterior to hard bleacher seats. It would seem sensible, yes, logical, to allow students who don ' t want to yell to be excused from these assem¬ blies. At least they wouldn ' t dampen everyone else ' s school spirit . I ' m not criticizing those who enjoy pep assemblies and profit from them, even learning how to react to crowded situ¬ ations. However, no one forces an athlete, pep club member or a cheerleader to attend a play, an art show or concert. School spirit should not be offered at the feet of the idol athle¬ tics. People are most spirited about the activities to which they best relate. The concept of school spirit should be ex¬ tended to all activities, clubs, and even classes. After all, it isn ' t sportsmanlike to confine spirit to sports, is it. 7 Breaking the language barrier, facing a different social system, and learning under a foreign school system are a few of the many problems faced by Este. Although Este declares that she is enjoying her stay, she said that there are certain aspects of the United States the bother her. One problem, says Este, is the racial problem. I had read about it but I didn ' t realize what it was really like. Now that I ' m in America, I realize the problem really exists, and when I think about it, it makes me cry. Another problem is that Americans take each other for granted. If I could change one thing at East I ' d like to change the minds of the people so that everyone would respect the person stand¬ ing next to him. American Field Service brought Este to us and sends us to other countries. Este feels that AFS is changing greatly- This is good. They used to send only the smart kids but now they are starting to send students who have the personality and ability to adapt to a new and strange enviroment and they don ' t base it on brains alone. I feel that it is better to be myself, even if peo¬ ple think I ' m crazy, than to play the part of something I am not. Este feels that since she has arrived at East she has tried to keep her identity and be herself, ignoring those who thing she is crazy because she sings in the halls. Este asks that all East students please remember this: I am not the foreign exchange student. I am not the girl from Spain. □U ' !7E rQiDE A LONG W£N,MBN From the beginning of Lancer History , many drastic changes have occured, some bad but most good. Take for instance the changing of the dress code. What a joy¬ ous day that was. Everyone could dress however they pleased. No longer does the not-so-tame tomboy have to worry about how daintily she sits or walks. The boys can even wear their week-old jeans without too many people complaining--much. Free-study is another example of better changes. Remember how congested those study halls were. Of all the time I per¬ sonally have spent in a study hall I have one question, Who studies? The only answer I have come up with is very few . With all the note exchanging, whispering, giggling, snoring, and flying airplanes going on, who can study? At present, free- study is only for the upper classmen, since only limited space is available, but in future years this will probably change also. What does an upperclassman do with free time? Anything his heart so desires (within reason and the school boundaries). He has the run of the campus (outside of the halls), he can loaf in the lounge, watch TV, rock out to the juke box in the school snack bar, play outside in whatever manner he wishes and he can even study on important occassions. Another one of the finer changes is the wider selection of cour¬ ses and the elective courses. A student can choose the course he feels will help him the most, or maybe the teacher who will help him most. Ah, the teachers of BTHS East. Aren ' t they the greatest? Can you recall times when they had to follow the strict golden rule of the principals? It was not too long ago. Now our nore liberal faculty has bent the golden rule. These fantastic teachers do not have to be obligated into sending some students to their doom, nor do they heed some restricted teachings. They teach the way they fell is best. For the most part, this results in a closer faculty-student body relationship. Not all changes are so grand however. Most of the students will agree that the altered tardy system does put a bind on them. Now they have budget themselves to how many times they can be late to class before visiting their friendly (?) assistant prin¬ cipal. The assistant principal brings around another unfavorable aspect among the students. This change lets the administration get to know the stud ents much better, since one student class has the same assistant principal throughout all four years of high school. This is not all that bad, but once an assistant prin¬ cipal knows a student it is much harder for that student to pull their favorite stunts. By the same token the assistant principal thinks this is better because they do get to know Their fre¬ quent visitors more personally. In the past, some events have engraved their mark on some stu¬ dent ' s minds. How can we forget those memorable sports ac¬ tivities, plays, assorted tournaments, and those wild days dur¬ ing Loyalty Week. Each Event holds something special in the hearts of those who attended and participated. Whatever touch¬ ed them the most might not have directly been associated with the school, but because it was at a school activity this certain thing happened. BTHS East has never had much trouble with student unrest, but in the case of national interest and the Lancer ' s yearn for jus¬ tice, a protest march emerged, the March for Calley . Even though minor punishments were given to those who acted, no one really blamed the students for what they did. Did they? It has been felt among the student body, faculty, and adminis¬ tration that school spirit is deteriorating. Friends, remember that these are trying times for our school, and it takes time to bring everything back to par. Once OUR school is settled and the major changes cease, how can the school spirit help but bloom to the fullest again? It is said that the high school years of a person ' s life are his best. The high school student, however, may not believe so. During these four years the student undergoes many changes in himself. He begins to mature and is able to take on responsi¬ bilities. It does not take long for the boys and girls to become young men and women. Even though high school years are the toughest, they are also the most precious. BTHS East is a new school with basic ideas of helping individ¬ uals meet their goals and the requirements of the outside world. I honestly believe that so far East has done a fantastic job. No matter how this school has affected the person, the old saying will always ring on, Once a Lancer, Always a Lancer . 11 THE StUOiHJM In each and every one of us is an animalistic desire. A de¬ sire to dominate another animal both physically and mentally. Modern society will not permit one to take out his frustrations upon another human being. Nowhere will society permit you to dominate another human, only in the world of sports. Football enables you to relieve your pent-up tensions by physically whipping your opponent. In each phase of the game there is violence. No one can quite understand the sa¬ tisfaction of whipping another person unless you are involved in the game. The game is eleven men with different aims striving for a common goal. DEFENSIVE LINEMAN It gives me a feeling of authority to crack an offensive back trying to run through my territory and not have him get up but to lie there, painfully, dazed at the intessity of the impact with which we collided. Finally, his eyes clear and he looks up at your number as you stand over him, and you know that he will regret seeing ti again. OFFENSICE LINEMAN My job is to punish the man across the line from me and put him out of the game - he and every other player they stick across from me. I am responsible for seeing the back reach his goal. DEFFENSIVE BACK A long run or pass can break a close game wide-open my responsibility is to prevent the other team from achieving this. I have an assignment on every play to cover a design¬ ated area of the field, I just protect this area any way I can. The most effective way known to me is to punish every in¬ dividual opponent who ventures into my territory. OFFENSIVE BACK The only possible way to win a game is to put points on the scoreboard. It is my responsibilty to see we get those points. I do everything I possibly can to reach the goal line. My ultimate goal is to see that everytime we maintain posses¬ sion of the football the offensive team doesn ' t come off the field until we ' ve scored. It ' s quite a challenge with eleven men on the other side of the ball, thier sole purpose is to stop me. I have my ten teammates to help me reach my goal and the game just comes down to who are the better men. The Common Goal of the Team. VICTORY: Victory through teamwork! Any person who gut¬ ted out 4 long yrs. of football will tell you there is nothing quite as satisfying as being together with the team, cele¬ brating victories, and enduring the defeats, not alone but together. The Belleville East Lancers, a past powerhouse in high school football, will soon be taking off the tag of Indepen¬ dent and join the tough Southwestern Conference. The Con¬ ference will be expanding to nine teams. Along with East, Lincoln and Cahokia also will be trying their luck for the first time. The other teams in the Conference are Alton, East St. Louis, Collinsville, Granite City, Belleville West, and Edwardsville. CAN FOOTBALL LAMCER5 AlflKE AT AN 5 Elf C ? The question now arises; Can the Lancers stay with the hard hitting teams of the SWC? The stadiums of the Conference have long been known as places to see a good hard hitting football game. This statement is proven by the fact that the number one teams in the area for the past two years have been members of the Conference. In 1970, the Alton Redbirds were number one. East played Alton in the final game of the season, and Alton squeaked by 22-20 in one of the most exciting games of the season. In 1971, the East St. Louis Flyers had the distinction of being number one. East did not play the Flyers. The strength of the SWC is also shown by the number of for¬ mer players from teams now in the Conference. When a college recruiter comes into the area he makes it a point to see the top SWC prospects in action. Some of these players are Bill Mauser of Missouri, formerly of Belleville West, Morriss Bradswhaw of Ohio State, who played high school ball at Edwardsville, and Gale Murphy from Drake, a graduate of Alton. Another former player now in the college ranks is former All- Stater, Tom Lang, from Belleville East. Tom is a soph¬ omore at Georgia Tech. , and although he hasn ' t played regularly he did manage to score five touchdowns and pick up a good amount of yardage. Greg Johnson is a player who has gone beyond the College ranks. Often called Grape Juice he was chosen in the re¬ cent pre-draft by the AFV Champion, Miami Dolphins. Greg played quarterback for the University of Wisconsin and be¬ fore that was a star at Lincoln. It is quite evident that the Lancers will have their work out if they expect to finish on top of the Conference but if past performance means anything they should be in great shape. Over their six year history they have posted an outstanding 47-10-2 record. In 1969, the Lancers were the number one team in the area while compiling a perfect 10-0 record. They have never finished below the . 500 perc ntage. In 1966 (the Lancer ' s first year of existence) they played to a 5-3-1 record with only sophomores and juniors. They have had an 8-2 record three times, which included the 1971 sea¬ son. The only team to beat East twice is Hazelwood whom the Lancers will paly in the first game of the coming season. The Lansers record against teams in the SWC is just as im¬ pressive. Overall they have compiled a 16-5 record. They have had their best success against Cahokia with a perfect 4-0 slate while Alton is the toughest team for Wast with a 1-1 record. Next season the Lancers will be playing Collins¬ ville and E. St. Louis for the first time. An oddity in East ' s schedule for the ' 72 season will be the playing of city rivals West and Althoff on successive weekends. Another first will take the Lancers to Parson ' s Field to take on Lincoln H. S. If there will be a weakness in the Lancer ' s lineup due to 14 graduation it will not be in the backfield. Halfbacks Bruce Dunning, Greg Guetterman, and Jerry Ratay will be return- ing along with quarterback Kenny Vaughn. Only outstanding fullback Marty Babinski and halfback Mark Stefanik will be graduating. However, filling the fullback position could present a problem for Coach Renn. Rumor has it that either Guetterman or Dunning will be switched to this spot. If neither of them is chosen, then junior Jim White or sopho¬ more Chris Morris will have to fill the gap. Sophomore half¬ backs like Mike Schaab and Scott Tweedy have an outside chance to break into the starting backfield, but it is doubt¬ ful. The fact that most of the members together before should enable them to regain their timeing on the handoffs and pitchouts quickly and help them in the early games. While the backfield will not be hit hard by graduation the offensive line will be a different story. Five of the seven line positions will have starters graduating. At canter the Lancer’s While the backfield will not be hit hard by graduation, the offensive line will be a different story. Five of the seven line positions will have starters graduating. At center the Lancer ' s will be losing two of the area ' s finest in Steve Car- roll and Kip Edwards. Juniors Brad Ehibger, Steve Mank, and Lee Goetz, none of whom has ever seen any varsity action at center, will be expected to fill the position. At the guard positions East will be losing both hard hitting Ken Bisso and Bob Stewart. The starting assignments for these these positions are considered up for grabs and any number of players have a chance. The major contenders are juniors Mark Anderson, Kevin and Mike Reeder, and sopho¬ mores Mike Hromadka and Dan McCrany. At the tackles, Dennis Crane will be leacing but Gary Cox will be back for another year. The open spot is expected to be filled by junior John Hartman while sophomore A1 Coll¬ ins should see some action. At end the Lancers will have to say good-bye to Co-Captain Brad Harriman, but Jay Ellison will be back and should be one of the better blocking ends in the area. The open end position will be filled by either Pat Boyle or Larry Bonham. On defense it is about the same story as on offense. The secondary will be marred very little, but the line will be hit hard. At tackle Terry Mueller will be gone but big John Hartman will be a sure starter. The open spot should be a dogfight between junior Kevin Ditter and sophomore Eddie Prather will be given a shot. The linebacking core will be losing the two outside men with Ed Dintleman and Mike Kozan graduating. East should be strong in the middle with Gary Cox returning and Mike Hromadka to back him up. The outside spots will probably be filled by juniors Jay Ellison and Pat Boyle with Kevin Wilson and Mark Anderson and sophmore Dan McCrary to back them up. East will be very strong in the defensice backfield with only Dave McCrary graduating. The corners will be up for grabs with juniors Greg Guetterman, Mark Carwell, Randy Cook and Bruce Dunning dueling for the job. The safeties will be filled by Jerry Ratay and either Mike Schaab or Kenny Vaughn. East kicking game will be strong in the punting department with Kenny Baughn, the leading punter in the area last year, returning. However, place-kicker Joe Kichielinski, will be gone and wither juniors Jeff Heely or Kevin Wilson will have to fill the gap. Overall it looks like East will be strong in the backfield with the line needing to be beefed up a bit, bit it looks like another exciting year of Belleville East football. The Lan¬ cers will be playing their toughest schedule over and it will be a battle to finish on top of the Conference, but in the past East has been a powerhouse and barring anything drastic the Lancers can continue their winning ways. 15 FAffSHflfni What do you call that place where we play cards and make paper airplanes? Study hall?? Seniors, how much did you take in on the swimming pool passes? Why do the juniors call everyone a freshman? This year has taught me how to agrivate (sic.) my teachers. They ought to put a stop sign in front of F building. (Michelle D ' Harlinque) We ' re the Number One (trash dump) let ' s clean it up. Why does Bessy always blame the stu¬ dents for bending the forks -- hasn ' t she ever tried eating the cafeteria food? (Mike Harrison) RULE 1 at BTHSE, You eat the food before the food eats you. (Anonymous) What do you call that thing behind D building? A swimming pool?! (Tracy Hartman) There’s one good thing about being a freshman; you don ' t have to pay for a hair cut. (Leon Madden) The cars that we drive are lethal they say. Well, so is the lunch we eat every day. The experts said sleep Should be long and sound So school so early Is fatal they ' ve found. (Glenn Tolbert) There ' s a fire behind S building, and it’s also in R node; no, it ' s just the smoke from the cirragre- ttes (sic.). (Tame Haug) Physical science class is a blast with the ' Vandegraf Generator ' . ” (Steve Clemens) ' The wrestling team would of been great this year, but the other teams always showed up. (Scott Hassall) I believe study halls should be eliminated completely. I don ' t think that teachers should make the kids get so hypocritically egotistic about the school that dehumanizes the student in so many ways. We’re not here for grades, we’re here to learn. This school will definitely have free study for everyone and open campus for juniors and seniors in the near future. I don ' t think you should need to carry an I. D. card so you ' ll lose it and have to buy another one.

How about one of the clubs, were you in one? What about the studnet council, or the band, or the choir? How about the National Honor Society? Did you even care? Well then, welcome to the club... ' The Average Student Who Didn ' t Do Anything But Go To School Society. We ' re probably the largest club in the school. The requirements for membership were simple. All you had to do was go to school and not engage in any extra-curricular activities. But what is school for anyway? Is it for sporting events and social activities or for learning? If it ' s for education, then that ' s what I came for. And that ' s all that I came for. But then again, what if it isn ' t? What if what they say about school it true; that school is a miniture society. In other words what you do in your school life is, on a small scale, what you will do when you get out into society. It looks like that if that statement is true, then about all we will pro¬ bably do in society is the minimum amount that is required of us. Well, I ' m not going to give you the old you owe it to your school routine, because I personally don ' t believe it. I don ' t believe that you own the SCHOOL anything. Instead, I ' m going to give you the you owe it to yourself bit. How come? Because whether you like it or not people out there are going to judge you. They ' re going to examine you and your re¬ cord, and if they don’t like what they see, society is going to turn their thumbs down on you, old buddy. You ' re going to represent yourself out there, not the school. Let ' s take sports for instance. What ' s it going to do for you after you leave? Sure it’s going to get you a letter, maybe a girl... or two, some self-esteem, and maybe even give your school some prestige. But what afterwards? Well you might get an athletic scholarship to a college and save yourself a lot of working hours if you ' re trying to work your way through. But even if you don ' t get one at least you ' ll be better off physic¬ ally. And besides, if you ever get hooked, at least you ' ll have something to tell your kids. THE BIGGEST CLUB OF ALL Let me ask you a few questions. Did you like the Yeah, I’m gettin ' it on real strong. way Student Council ran things this year? If you think you could have done a better job, why didn ' t Someday you may have to get it on strong out you do something about it? Did you ever say while there. And it starts here and now. you were watching a basketball game, That was a stupid play ? Well, why weren ' t you out there doing it right? But then I ' m just as guilty as you are. If school is a training ground for life, then we need to develop our talents and our skills. Ath¬ letics, school government, and the school ' s music and publications are training for similar fields outside. The letters, pins, certificates, and Brownie buttons aren’t going to mean anything in a few years. It ' s going to be the training and the experience they brought you. Maybe I should have gone out for a sport or two, but I didn ' t. It ' s too late for me now; I ' ll be gone next year. But one of my friends, one of our long-haired brothers, gave me some advice, al¬ though he didn ' t know it. When you ' d meet him your conversation would go something like this. Hey dad, what’s happenin’? You gettin’ it on? easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps Emerson THE S0-BETII7EEN5 The members of the student council at East should, and many times do, act as the middle men between the student body and the administration. Besides their obvious duties of sponsoring dances and organizing loyalty week and A.F.S. week, council members also work to keep communication channels open and act as ombudsmen to correct what students feel to be in¬ justices and instigate possible improvements. Council investigation which has resulted in positive action includes a meeting with the assistant principals concerning school bus pro¬ blems and the formation of a committee which obtained the passage of a pass-fail system for students taking a fifth subject to be tested next fall. The ' 71 — 1 72 S. C. was instrumental in the establishment of the student lounge and in placing the juke box in the snack bar (they are engaged in a clean-up campaign of both). S. C. was also instrumental in installing a bicycle rack for cyclers by the bridge. Our student council has gone beyond school boundaries this year in their efforts. They are now representing East on a Chamber of Commerce committee to make Belleville a better place for everyone to live. S. C. has also sought to improve their meth¬ ods of procedure by having inter-school exchanges with Alton, Collinsville, Centennial and Carbondale. Like any other organ¬ ization of its size and wide range of duties, student council has its problems. Tom Helfrich, president of S. C.: The biggest problem with student council is that most of the kids are elected because they ' re popular and or good-looking; most people become popular by doing alot of talking. As a result, it is often hard to get anything done with everyone talking at the same time. I think this is beginning to change, however. I would advise anyone who plans to run for student council in the future to prepare himself for a lot of hard work. Sue Taphom, senior class treasurer: When I was elected, I really thought that it (S.C.) would be duddy with a big group of socialises but I found that what I prejudged S.C. to be was wrong. I only wish more non-council students would come to the meetings and make suggestions. Kip Edwards, senior representative: We ' d be a lot more effi¬ cient if we didn ' t work as a group but instead as small committees. .. .but I feel that we have gained a great deal of respect from Mr. McCoy this year. Not only does he listen to our ideas but he also brings up his own. Tom Helfrich, again: I think much of what S.C. has accom¬ plished this year has been a direct result of a great amount of cooperation on Mr. McCoy ' s part and, of course, all of Mrs. Marsho ' s help. Mrs. Linda Marsho, faculty sponsor of S. C. concluded: They ' re great! The officers are exceptional and they ' ve done more than I ever thought was possible in one year. Everyone is appreciative and very stisfying to work with — I love ' em. Perhaps the most ambitious undertaking of the student council this year was their investigation of the idea of open campus. Following are excerpts from the final report submitted to Mr. McCoy. The phrase open campus possesses an interesting quality. When first heard, it conjures up grandiose visions of a loose, freewheeling concept of school where students are allowed to come and do as they wish, when they wish, and without the necessary bearing of responsibility that accompanies such ac¬ tions. Obvioulsy, when hearing such things, the student is overjoyed at the prospect, while the school administrator is likely to lie awake at night, shuddering at the very thought. A further examination of this open campus reveals that none of this is necessarily true, and that the joys and fears of student and administrator are probably unfounded.... Let ' s look directly at some of the arguments first advanced by opponents of open campus. Some administrators and faculty members seem to have a natural mistrust of students. They see them as potential trouble-makers and feel that most students, if granted open campus privileges, will use them, merely to get in trouble off-campus. We of the committee take a rather dim view of that opinion. First of all, we see nothing to indi¬ cate that the majority of students are anything like this at all. In fact, quite the opposite is true. The majority of students are a responsible, fairly well-mannered group of people, and it is the minority which causes the problems such as litter, minor crimes (vandalism, shoplifting) or even major ones. And as such, we cannot condone a restriction place upon the majority in an attempt to restrict the minority... • ... it is definitely unfair to prejudge the student body as po¬ tentially guilty. Confining students from 8:30 to 3:30 to avoid trouble is roughly analagous to imprisoning every U.S. citizen for ten years because they are potentially capable of murder. Houj high ' s ihe Shudenls ?! fhis place is full of GARBAGE OPEN C DPU5 •. .many faculty members indicated on the faculty survey form that they felt that high school students still need much guidance and supervision in their daily lives, which is sort of a mother instinct to protect the poor student from the big bad world.... we do feel that many high school students have the responsibility to control their actions, and those that don’t need to learn how quickly, else their college years are going to give an extremely hard time.. . .. . A third argument raised in opposition to open campus is the possibility that special extracurricular activities such as music, art, etc., would suffer if open campus were instituted. The obvious answer here is that those people truly interested in the programs will stay and that those who may leave could not have been very interested in the program anyway, and as such would not have been able to contribute in the first place. A fourth argument made by opponents of open campus deals with the factor of time, and does have a legitimate basis. One hour does not provide an overwhelming amount of time for construc¬ tive action considering the distance of East from say, the Belleville Public Library, or the homes of students living in Fairview Heights. However, one must realize that this limited time does have the added advantage of a different and perhaps better location. For example, a half hour spent in the public library cac very easily be every bit as fruitful as an entire hour in the school library. A half hour at home can be every bit as good (if not better) as an hour watching films in P node. And so forth. ... The final argument raised against open campus is the most important, in pur opinion. Open campus, it has said, is an educationally undesirable, or educationally unsound policy. This is so supposedly because students, given the choice be¬ tween leaving and staying to take advantage of the educational facilities available (which is after all what the school is here for) will choose the former and leave. This may be true. How¬ ever, at the present time the students are not faced with the first alternative, and yet the majority still do not choose the second. If the new educational methods and facilities being planned right now are interesting enough, more students may take advantage of them, but if not, nothing will change. All - of which brings us back to the interest argument we used in analyzing the special music and art programs. It applies here, also. The students that are interested will remain. The students that aren ' t don ' t take advantage now and won ' t in the future. Which is as it should be. Students cannot be railroaded into learning. Encouraged, yes. Forced, no. .. .One of the arguments often offered in support of open cam¬ pus is that there is no place at East to study. Quite bluntly, this is untrue. If a student desires a place to study, he can find it. We have not yet run out of space. However, as we pointed out earlier, there may be places off campus of greater benefit to the students, even though the alloted timespace is much smaller. There may be a small advantage there. Secondly, there is an argument already partially discussed earlier, that being that students need to learn how to handle responsibility before they get the freedoms inherent in college. High school would seem to be place for for this learning pro¬ cess. It is obvioulsy the place most similar to the college format, and lessons learned in high school are most easily transferrable. How much responsibility would be learned from open campus is, of course, impossible to quantify, but it is an amount to be considered. A third advantage of open campus is one not immediately apparent. As was pointed out to us by the senior assistant principle at West, with the adoption of open campus, smoking no longer becomes a significant problem. Obviously, a stu¬ dent is not going to risk getting caught in the nodes when all he has to do is cross the street and smoke legally. As such, there will be no more hassle over smoking, and no more sus¬ pensions. Although this is only indirectly related to education, it is still an advantage. . . .. .In the course of our study, we have constantly met one dominant attitude on the part of open campus opponents. It runs something like this: Prove to me that open campus is educationally advantageous, and I ' ll accept it. In itself a valid argument. However, we feel that there is another side to this argument, a side equally as valid. This side views closed campus as a restriction on the natural movement of students. As such, closed campus (rather than open) is the exception to the norm, the change from the status quo. And as such, it should be justified. We do not feel that it is.. .

MONDAY: An all-school assembly kicked off the week ' s activities with recognition of clubs and organizations, introduction of queen can¬ didates, underclass princesses and escorts (photo 2-6), and the faculty skit on the agenda. The faculty was at its usual comical best in a take-off on a television show and presented the funny side of East . (Photo 2) The show was cancelled but unfortunately the faculty skit wasn ' t. Most agree that the hit line in the skit was the impersonation of Mr. Miller and his Lord, help me to be more neutral. TUESDAY came the rough and tumble, Rah, Rah, Raz, kick ' em in the... knee preliminary powderpuff football games (photo 10) complete with rather voluptuous (male ) cheerleaders. Later that evening, blankets and flash lights were in order for the annual bonfire (photos 7 and 8). WEDNESDAY brought a new child to loyalty week -- the silly Olympics. The senior class was led to victory by Arny Rothman who prov¬ ed his agility at eating peanut butter, passing lifesavers, and generally being silly. On THURSDAY, the teachers got theirs--do¬ nuts, in accordance with Teacher Appreciation Day. Students got the chance to wield the mighty arm of authority and teach classes while certain teachers assured their classes they had enough savage left in them from their Susan Davis and Bob Stewart Nancy Nee and Walter Barnes Crys Carrescia and Martin Babinski Pat Ort and Ed Dintehnan GOOD TiflJfS 4R£ younger days and made pretty good hecklers.

FRIDAY ' S schedule was jam packed with the first of the activities being the class skits. The sophomores came out on top, much to the dis¬ may of many proud seniors who felt they had best displayed the good times , (photo 11, for more loyalty week assembly pictures refer to pages 66-69) Friday afternoon a parade made its way to the courthouse steps for a pep rally with the foreign language float winning die honors. Then, Westward they went to the sta¬ dium where die Lancer gridders ended their season with a 35-14 romp over the Alton Red- birds. At half time, Crys Carrescia was crowned queen by Chris Armstrong (photo 14) and after the game a coke party was enjoyed by students and alumni. (Because of popular demand, an uncola party is being considered for next year.)

Someone who walks up every two minutes and tells you that Jesus loves you and then hands you a paper that tells you about Jesus. After you read this kind of paper it makes you feel weird -- it makes you wonder if Jesus is like the paper says he is. Most of the kids that carry Bibles are real nice and easy to talk to. Most kids that carry Bi¬ bles do this because they say that they have been saved. When they are in class, they act • just like the rest of us, but sometimes they pass out Jesus papers. Some people call them Jesus Freaks, others just laugh at them. Are they really Jesus freaks? Or could they be disciples? I call them Jesus people, what do you call them? (Marcia Brock) Being a sophomore means never being called a freshman again. It ' s finally being able to look down on somebody. It ' s knowing your way around the school so well, it is almost like being at home . . . almost. It means having the novelty of going to high school wear off . . . completely wear off. One disadvantage about being a sophomore is when you do something stupid, you can ' t blame it on being a stupid freshman. .Now, you ' re just plain stupid. Another disadvantage is being a sophomore when juniors and seniors get free study. It gives you a weird feeling, as if you were in the same classification as -- heaven forbid -- freshmen. Being a sophomore means not being looked down upon by sophomores, juniors and seniors anymore . . . just juniors and seniors.

(Julie Kirkmanj What you have just read is unrehearsed, spontaneous, and unedited feedback from sopho¬ more students at BTHSE. a bore 31 ax-Mz+quitii.E+sx]- The question you are probably asking yourself right now is why on earth did they devote an entire six pages of my yearbook to -- Of all things — aca¬ demics. Good question. Well, however debatable the state¬ ment may be, the primary reason alot of us hung around this cluster of buildings this year was to learn some¬ thing. That learning took place in a variety of situations — in classrooms, assemblies, films in B100 and P node, down by the creek, etc . . East has embraced a number of edu¬ cational innovations and is carefully scrutinizing quite a few others. All of these changes indicate a trend toward giving the student more responsibility in molding his education One of the most recent changes involves the establishment of electives for juniors and seniors in the English curriculum. This has provided the student with some degree of self-de¬ termination as to the direction he wants and needs to go -- with subjects ranging from witchcraft to Whitman. “An elective program from Trenton, Michigan, served as a model; but many changes were made to meet the interests and needs of our own students. We feel that the program has been successful in its first two years. That success is due to the cooperation of the administration and Board of Educa¬ tion to the enthusiastic effort exerted by the teachers, and to the maturity of the students who have participated in the program. “ (Mr. Sam Jones, department head) The social studies department is undergoing a shake-up in their curriculum. Mr. Bob Gentsch, head of the department, disclosed: “With the changes that will be put into effect next year (The traditional American history course is being overhauled to offer a number of ten-week specialized cours¬ es. Thi$ idea was borrowed from a high school in Quincy, Illinois, and modified. ), there will be a continuing evalua¬ tion of the senior course offerings with the possibilities of broadening in some areas and segmenting in others. We are considering adding a psychology course sometime in the future. “ The science departments seem to be gearing their courses to more of a self-initiative, college preparatory system, also. In physics-chemistry, freshmen and juniors learn at their own rate and ask for a test when they feel they are ready. Of this semi-new system, Mr. Howard Simpson, instructor, had this to say: “The idea of combining physics and chem¬ istry is not new. We have known for some time that combining the two courses not only separates the ' honor ' students from the average class but also saves about a quarter of a year in teaching methods of experimentation and tech- nology. About the time we were looking for a new textbook, we stumbled upon a program that was being developed in Nebraska and sponsored by a federal grant. We were very enthusiastic about a multi-text approach and became a pilot school for the second year of the program. The idea of student initiated mini-courses during free study has been discussed for some time. Guerrila warfare and yoga have been mentioned as possibilities. To date, nothing has become of the idea. Evidence of voluntary learning can be seen in the present free study activities of many students. Brad Reid confirmed this: “I feel I ' ve really gained alot from free study. Where else can you learn to play bridge. 34 6Q+ .Dfl? x 5E.R- 7lfX [flZ] CHARACTER IEADR5H1P SCHOLARSHIP SERflCE ART DEPARTMENTAL HONORS April ich Kllow In Jxlford | EDUCATION 3S jckworth irds imser J3 fo 1 ! wnn Janet ' Robin Beverly Karen Scf ♦denotes the ' lL education Ken Barker Mike Bietsch John Hottenrott Tom Marlow Dave Nichols JOURNALISM Kay Biebel Susan Drake Doug Robinson John Smistik Doug Weil MATHEMATICS Jay Ellison Richard Harrison Lee Roy McCoy Alan Veile Janet Wray GIRLS Gwen Goforth Patti Klucker Janet Koch Patty Louvier Jerry Loyet PHYSICAL SCIEN( Gayle Junck Sam Kennedy Terry Kimble Joseph Sullivan Neena Summers SOCIAL STUDIES Pat Amburn Susan Drake Dave Pulvirenti Marcia Steward PUT ANOTHER Music at East comes in all shapes and sizes. A stu¬ dent is for the most part uninhibited in his capacity to delve into innumerable fields of study. East ' s instrumental music department can be divided into three main categories: The largest is best repre¬ sented by the Lancer band. This group plays a dual role as the seasons change. During the football season, marching is the rule with al¬ most weekly games and scattered parades. Another occupational hazard is a doubt as to whether or not all the drills and formations that are practiced daily in less-than-comfor- table weather are really appreciated. As football ends, the Lancer band sheds its marching gear and turns to a demanding sche¬ dule of practices, concerts and festivals. Con¬ ducted by Mr. Leroy Kirsch, the band plays a little of everything -- Bach, rock operas and jazz, to name a few. The second group, conducted by Mr. Kirsch, is the stage band. Modern popular tunes make up most of the fair but a number of oldies but goodies are also included. This year ' s stage band was invited to play at many civic and pri¬ vate affairs. The youngest musical activity is the East or¬ chestra which still suffers from a fledging string section. This may soon change as the enrollment for the beginning string classes increases and students become more aware of the existence of string instruments. The orch¬ estra presented two concerts this year. Its conductor is Miss Jean Wilt. Always, the element of competition is present. Try-outs for first chair are held throughout the year. But as a wise conductor once said, Every part has to be played, the 3rd as well as the 1st. Everyone is important. ...in THE ( l Producing a fair share of the sound waves that ricochet around I building are a few hundred basses, tenors, altos and sopranos who comprise the East choral department. Along with choruses -- mixed and or girls choruses for each grade level -- there are several elite vocal groups which perform at school and civic functions. The top of the ladder is held by the East con¬ cert choir with Miss Hope Baer as conductor. The choir ' s annual concerts -- Christmas Is and I Hear A Song -- have stablished themselves as traditions. Most concert-goers are now as quick to stand for the Messiah as for the Star-Spangled Banner . Within the choir are three performing groups; a boys ensemble and two girls ensembles. This year these groups sang at local churches, participated in many contests and provided entertainment for such activities as the Nat¬ ional Honor Society banquet. Almost as equally talented and at least as en¬ thusiastic is the treble choir, an all-girl group conducted by Mr. James McHaney. This group always makes their concerts come alive with polished productions. Up With People and Cherished Memories were the two concerts performed by the treble choir this year. Both performances were well- attended and justly well-received. Songs like Oklahoma , Cherish , and He Ain ' t Heavy, He ' s My Brother” were sang with gusto, ten¬ derness, and sincerity. The sophomore choir is the only other per¬ forming group. Conducted by Miss Hope Baer, this mixed group shared the Sounds of Spring concert with the orchestra and has participated in all-school assemblies in the past. Although East ' s choral groups have sponsored bake sales and made floats throughout the year, the one thing they do best is sing. Nobody would disagree with that. 42 mmwmi APPLAUSE If applause was money, the Belleville East Drama Department would not have to use B100 as their thea¬ tre, they could afford to build their own. Moreover; as-one regular Lancer playgoer put it, Drama at East isn ' t an extra-curricular activity, it’s a monopoly! This year the Drama Department again re¬ ceived a bumper crop of applause and praise. They were certainly deserving of it after all the hard work and rehersing that was needed to present the plays. The job of putting on a play was attacked on two fronts. The first front was the molding of the exter¬ ior face of the play. This was armed by bands of propmen, lighting technicians, make-up artists, set builders, painters, and all of the others who planed and shaped the outside appearance of the play. This play was a heavy success, judging fom the reaction of the audience. The crowds of both nights that the play was presented were very receptive and very large. The second event of the dramatic season was the presentation of the Three One Act Plays. The first play ' Please No Flowers ' was a spoof about life after death. The second play, ' Plaza Suite ' , was a story about a father and mother who have a slight amount of trouble getting their only daughter married. The third play, ' The Lesson ' , was a story about a teacher who had a sort of outside pastime. All of the plays were well received by the capacity audience. All in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. Thirdly, in middle March, was the staging of the Woody Allen spoof, ' Don ' t Drink the Water ' . This was a play about the problems that a va¬ cationing American family encounter in a small communist country. Lucky for the fam¬ ily there is an American consulate in the country. This was perhaps the best play in terms of audience repection. It was a comedy, and a very well presented one at that. The other front was that of the actual portray¬ ing of the play. There were lines to memorize, cues to remember, and run-throughs to learn just what you have to do, and when to do it. The primping, work, and constant improve¬ ment of this interior face of the play was just as hard and grueling as the technical end, and often much more tortuous to the sanity. Each of the seperate factors that put the plays together was not particularily hard in itself, but to do them all at once, with letter-perfect precision and accuracy, is sheer hell. Perhaps one of the least publicized, but hard¬ est working,, members of the crew is the di¬ rector. His is the responsibility that every¬ thing goes off exactly as planned. He must remember all the small facets of the play collectively that each actor or technician must remember singularity. Judging from the audience reaction, the plays were a tremendous success. The directors have a right to be proud. In all, there were a total of four Lancer dra¬ matic productions. The first play was ' The Firebugs ' , staged in early November. The play was a story about a German business¬ man who takes in a boarder. What he does not know is that the boarder is a Nazi. The last presentation of the season, ' The Boyfriend ' , was a musical comedy set in the Roaring 20 ' s. It was presented in May. The musical was well staged and the large audience seemed to enjoy it very much. All of the plays were as the famous Ed Sul¬ livan would say, Really big shoes! . And the Drama Department can say of all the plays collectively, after all the work, rehearsing, laughter and applause, applause, applause, that it was truely a ' Really big yare. LOT OF RHETORIC...

And so at Belleville East we have three unique groups of students working towards a common goal - - to produce some form of medium of communication for the student body. These groups include the school newspaper, the LAUREATE, the yearbook, this year’s titled FEEDBACK ’72, and the school ' s literary publication, the LANCERLOT. The LAUREATE is published on a monthly basis. This year the Laureate was edited by two juniors along with Mr. Stephenson, the sponsor. Articles are written primarily by the members of the staff, although articles writ¬ ten by students not on the staff have been printed. It can be general ly stated that the purpose of the newspaper is to inform the student body of events to come, to review events of that month, and to instill a certain attitude towards some particular ideal, via the editorials, in the minds of the readers. The yearbook, put out annually, has a senior editor, who works with Mr. Hott, the faculty advisor. The book is divided into several sec¬ tions, and each section is laid out by different people, this giving diversity of ideas and techniques. Generally speaking, the yearbook is published to serve as a source for remem¬ brances of activities, ideas, and people. The LANCERLOT is headed by a senior ed¬ itor and Mr. Huch, faculty sponsor. The LAN¬ CERLOT is primarily a composite of poems, short stories, and almost anything written by members of the student body. Selections are read, edited, and are either rejected or ac¬ cepted for the annual publishing. Although these three publications are differ¬ ent in purpose, they share one aspect. All are self-supporting. The money for production is obtained through bake sales, dances, car washes, and in the case of the yearbook and newspaper -- advertising. None are subsidized by the school. It is hard to say whether this fact is good or bad. Raising the money for publication, by their own means, instills a sense of respon¬ sibility in the staff members, for they realize 56 they have a limit. However, it is a known fact that the more money they are able to spend, the better the publication will be. Whether students not involved in journalism at East can fully appreciate the extent of what is being done to inform and entertain them is uncertain. The token 15 £ they give the news¬ paper vendor and the $6.00 price of the year¬ book is not enough to really jar their minds. Until they spend long hours cropping pictures, writing stories, laying out pages, editing poetry, and wheeling and dealing with printers and middlemen, they will never understand the ordeals of journalism. East publications not only serve as educational training grounds they are themselves business enterprises that either make it of fall. I A J£5LG LQtfttW Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Jesus loves you. Jesus died for you. Love one another. Repent and be saved. ” These and many similar phrases along with tons of religious pam¬ phlets and newspapers have been passed around East this year. Where have they come from? Who are the instigators of such ideas. Many East students call them by such names as Jesus freaks, relig¬ ious fanatics, Jesus people, dis¬ ciples of Christ, weirdos , and Those creepy kids who sing in front of the gym every morning. Alot of people feel they are following a command once given them by Jesus Christ, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. They seem to be taking up the challenge. Our goal is to tell everyone that they are loved by Christ and that he is their only way to salvation, says junior, Doug Henderson. They do not fear the jokes and laugh¬ ter from their fellow students. These people are so enthusiastic about their discovery of Jesus that they can ' t keep from telling every¬ one they meet. Kevin Whitter, sen¬ ior, insists, We must show and live a life of love and happiness. Although it is not our place to judge the sincerity of these people, one thing can be said for them. They have both guts and motivation. With Bible and pamphlets in hand and a song on their lips, they have sought to reveal to the students at East this year that there is only one way to fullfillment and peace -- Jesus. 60 MPfffllTdNO Bf MP£B B££P;B££P ; THi515V0UB What do you feel are your major duties or functions as principal? I think my most important duty as principal is setting a tone for the school in the academic area, in the curricular area — setting a general tone or feeling about this particular School. What would you say the tone is that you ' re trying to set? The tone I think I ' m trying to set is one of a school that has a desire for high academic achieve ment but yet is a friendly and warm school with liberal kinds of attitudes and a wide variety of experiences for students to broaden their knowledge as much as possible. Do you think the student body -- their outlook upon life in general — has changed radically since East began? I don ' t think it ' s changed greatly. There has been perhaps more of a change from last year to this year than there has been from the beginning of this school to now. The students this year are much more ready to identify with the school, much more ready to work and have a much better attitude --a freer attitude -- than there has been in the past. I think it ' s the general tone of the country — it ' s happening all over the country. What changes would you like to see in the curriculum at East? It is hopeful that in a few years some sort of modular scheduling approach can be developed. This is very difficult and it takes a lot of thought and planning. I have made some cursory evaluations of this procedure and I think something may be done in that area. Are there any plans to put the pass-fail system into practice at East? We have had a committee working on it and hopefully this will go into effect — especially for students taking a fifth subject on a limited basis. This could possibly go into effect next year. Are there going to be some changes in the social studies department? The social studies department is definitely dropping the traditional United States history course. Instead there will be ten-week special interest mini- courses in American history. Financially, can you give me a rough percentage breakdown of how money is spent at East? The nature of certain departments requires more money to operate than others. For instance, students in vocational education areas need certain equipment in order to carry out the course requirements whereas in an English class — classroom, chairs and textbooks are all that are necessary. ;_ Probably the most expensive course at East as far per student cost is concerned is perhaps art and some of the ceramic courses. What has happened to the student awareness committee? We have met two or three times. There are no major issues to be discussed. We are trying to discuss all the rules of the school before the end of the year and we should have all of these discussed. PRINCIPAL 5K4KJNB.. Is the open campus issue dead? Discussion is still going on about it. The student council did submit a recommendation and at this point I have not answered the recommendation. I really feel that open campus is not a major issue. I think the students can see the value in the way the school is operated at the present time. Do you think that free study for juniors and seniors has been an improvement over supervised study halls? That s a hard question to answer. I think for at least half of the students or more, free study has been a real advantage and has given them freedom to think and freedom to consider other alternatives and to study as they saw fit. For the rest of the students, it has been merely an escape from any kind of work. It ' s a question of whether a few should control what is bene¬ ficial to the majority. I don ' t think this is true, so I don ' t think this.is true, so I think on the whole free study has been successful. What happened to the split-assembly idea? The students are not interested in having split assemblies unless it is absolutely necessary. Neither group liked the split assemblies. If it comes to the point that that is the only thing we can do then we will go that way but; we will try to have combined assemblies if at all possible. If the courst should order a consolidation of the area school districts for the purpose of bussing, would you be in favor of this? I would rather not say anything about that now. I will tackle that question if and when it arises. I would have to know the general feeling of the parents and students in this area. I couldn ' t make an arbitrary decision concerning the matter. fHftX Mr. McCoy, this interview has been scheduled in conjunction with the policy of the ' 72 staff of getting feedback from persons on campus. Do you have anything you would like to say concerning this school year? As I said in my address to the faculty at the beginning of this year, I think this is the year to see if all of our planning and preparations have paid off. This year I have tried not to exert such a direct control on the daily affairs at East. In other words, this is the year that East proved it could fly by itself. JUNIORS When I think back through the school year I realize how much I have changed and how Belleville East has helped me to do it. A lot of growing up and having the pieces of the picture fall into place has happened. When I think of the friends, the different courses, the ex¬ periences, my ideas, my feelings about different things and what I wanted to accomplish at the beginning of the year and compare it to the end of the year, I sort of ask myself Am I the same person as I was then? I ' d like to think I am not. I think that school had a tre¬ mendous influence on us all. Even though I came to learn history, English, biology and p. e. and other subjects, I know I got a lot more out of it than that. School has taught me to see the difference in people and to try to accept these differences. Some students have backgrounds different from my own and I ' ve learned that you can ' t always push your opinion off on them - you have to respect their opinion. East is a sort of indication of how we will make out in real life. What it actually boils down to is that school lets you experience living without a lot of the real life pressures. Sure, school is tough, but how can this begin to compare with the responsibilities of working and having enough money for yourself and maybe a family. There is also the daily pressure of doing your job well and keeping it. While in school we live for the moment, because we don ' t know what we want for the future. I think that ' s one reason, when our counse¬ lors ask us in March what we want to take next year, we don ' t know because we don ' t know how we will feel then. The youth of today change so rapidly that they really don ' t know what they want from one day to the next. When I was a freshman, I planned on going to college and now I ' m not so sure if I want to go. I have changed my mind many times about what I want to be and I think this is due to the fact that the way I think has changed. It is also because of the way teachers influence me. That ' s one reason why I think high school is so important because it helps you decide about what you want to be and who you want to be, I have heard someone say that they thought high school should be eliminated and from eighth grade we should go directly to trade schools, but this is unrealistic — how many eighth graders know what they want to be? Since they are growing up they will have a tendency to change their minds and high school lets you do just that because it is general, but we do have specialized courses for those who are sure. I think most students are searching for something and they don ' t know what it is. Why else would have the fads we do? Students cling to anything that gives them hope for the future or that will help them find themselves. I think some examples of this are the Jesus children, debaters, athletes, some of the racial students on campus, and the many different clubs on campus. They give a sort of security, accept¬ ance and togetherness. I think a lot of the teachers try to direct us to what we are looking for, but they know we have to find it for ourselves. I have heard certain students say the rules of the administration are unfair and unjust and their teachers are prejudiced against them. Yes, it is unfair that your neighbor can get the same grade as you and study less, or that someone can get away with something when you couldn ' t, or that a teacher treats you differently just because your hair is longer than other people ' s, but isn ' t real life like this? It is just something you have to live with and work to change. The main idea I am trying to convey is that sometime when you are thinking how useless, meaningless, and trivial school is, think back on how your ideas and thoughts have changed since coming to school and remember there are other things to be learned at school besides the definite subjects. I hope this doesn ' t sound too biased or like I am looking only at the good side of school, but I feel the wrongs are brought out so often, that I tried to think of what is good about East. (Barb Longshore) ' The school seems cold. The people seem unfriendly. Even the way the school is built seems cold with all its lines and squares. (Debbie Salmons) I think teachers should not vary so much about deadlines and time limits and slow down to make sure everyone learns what they ' re supposed to the first time. (Carol Schlosser) School lasts only nine months. Amen. (Carl Feher School is like the life cycle of a bear; you are awake for three months and asleep for nine. (Joe Klaus) School is a great place to learn, I guess; but when you stop and think about it, some of the most important things in your life aren ' t taught to you by a teacher standing in front of a class. They ' re learned by personal experience and feelings. (Rosalie Phillips) School is a place where you fill in the empty space (in your head). (Brian Vetter) What you have just read is unrehearsed, spontaneous, unedited feedback from junior students at BTHSE. 65 ASSEMBLIES C M -A ' c K % THOSE WERE THE DAYS Boy, the way old Leroy played Songs, That our Miss Baer okayed. Kids like us, we had it made- Those were the days. And we knew that we were great, Freaks were freaks and straights were straight Mister, we could use a man Like Emil Gantner again! Didn ' t need no forks or plates- Bessie always threw her weight. Gee, our stay at East was great! Those were the days. The importance placed on certain limited activities and on the people that quality to partici¬ pate in them causes people to look down on East and feel not a part. (Cyndy Metzger) I ' ve always enjoyed school. My hopes rose as I faced the prospect of entering high school. Now, in my Senior year. I look back somewhat sadly. Extracurricular activities were fun, friends were numerous. Yet somehow in the classroom, I was just another face. Sometimes I felt lost. We were all carbon copies. Anonymity is a way of life at East. It is at all high schools. Yet, in my way. I ' ve tried to be seen, heard, and known. (Tommy Barnedge) The facilities are pretty good, the classes are interesting, and I love their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. (Carol Turner) The best things in the schools are the mistakes because you come here to learn by mistakes. (Este) Conformity at this school is like an incurable disease -- what one person does everyone follows. (Susie McNay) It ' s showed the importance in your life of the school years. You pass one third of your life learning at different schools, an¬ other third telling, how much you learned and the last third reco¬ gnizing that you have forgotten all. I think parts of this school are good and parts are completely dumb. Parts of this school are fixed. For example: Parts of the Athletic Department are so screwed up it ' s pitiful. A person goes out for football and becomes a star. Automatically he is ex¬ pected in another sport without the coach of this sport really comparing him with someone who is just coming out for the sport. This person who is coming from another sport may be completely uncoordinated in this sport he is coming out for, while the other person who might be great is cut. Just because the person who was out for the other sport was well known, that doesn ' t mean he ' ll be able to make a sport with no sweat at all. This makes it unfair for the other person. (John Hottenrott) 73 All the world ' s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse ' s arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress ' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon ' s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper ' d pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishmess, and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

And games are supposed to be fun, right? Basketball is no exception, but before the fun comes there is a price to pay. Basketball is no longer a sport that takes place from October to March, but is now a year- round occupation. After the games are over in March it ' s time to start all over with seven long months of pain, sweat, and doubt ahead of you; doubt as to whether or not the game is worth the price. Close to sixty freshmen tried out for the basketball team four years ago. F our players out of that group were left on this year ' s team that were willing to pay the price. As the season unfolds, many different feel¬ ings are expressed. The most bitter one is defeat. Knowing that another team has just whipped you and that maybe if you ' d tried just a little bit harder or done something differ¬ ent you might have won. This was especially true when we played Alton for the third time in the East tourney. We had just beaten West and we were really confident that this time we could beat Alton. We went into half-time with a three point lead and had the momentum. At the end of the third quarter and it was still really close and I remember going into the fourth quarter thinking that if we were gonna beat ' em it was now or never. But for some reason we couldn ' t do it, the same thing that had happened in the two previous contests happened again. They spurted and we couldn ' t catch them. The game was damn frustrating because nobody played a bad game. Maybe it just wasn ' t in the cards for us to win, but if we played Alton tomorrow I ' d still think we could beat ' em. During the season when a team loses a game, excuses are looked for. Referees are usually the first scapegoat. This year we were lucky and in only a few instances were referees bad. (I ' m not saying this is why we won or lost because a team wins or loses on its own merits.) Down at the Carbondale Christmas Holiday Toumament which is probably the best, the referres were the worst we had all year. One of the best feelings we had all year was beating West three times and beating the hell out of Althoff and Carbondale. I say these last two teams because there are always a few teams that think they’re real bad by constant¬ ly throwing elbows and those two were that kind. You never realize how much you miss basket¬ ball until the season ' s over. A certain amount of joy comes from just being on the team and crowds. I think every player has some hot- dog in them (some have a little more than their share) and it is an awsome and real good feeling to sit on the gym floor and hear all those people cheering. It makes the insides churn. Being part of the team is a special thing too, because when your on a team your sharing a lot with the other guys: the defeats, the wins, and each others feelings. Basketball is a game of many emotions and I ' m thankful that I ' ve had the chance to ex¬ perience them all.

The more you learn about life, the more you realize how little you do know. The fantastic world of the microscopic—indeed the ultra microscopic— leaves one in awe of an intellect capable of creating and organizing such a wide variety of living things. For certainly an infinite being must be in charge of everything from keeping the planets from bumping into each other to the maintaining of the ameba. It is my hope that this study will give students a greater appreciation of their place in this great plan. rRRAN BAUM iological Science There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; There is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society ' where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and the music of its roar.

WILLIAM STRIEBEL Special Education Today, as always, most ' ‘thinking people are involved with the contemplation of other people ' s ideas and opinions. Many seem to forget that the most impor¬ tant person to listen to is oneself, and our most important task is to develop an ear that can really hear what we are saying. This is the only way to develop our inner self and our future. GLEN RICE Special Education If you can ' t say something good, don ' t say anything at all!

How can you expect to improve yourself if you are always thinking the same ideas? i Homemaking MARGARET DAVIS Homemaking Let ' s not waste time.

MARIAN BUESCHER, MICHAEL McKINNEY English It is wise to get knowledge and learning from every source—from a sot, a pot, a fool, a winter-mitten, or an old slipper. _(Rabelais)—Buescher_ HELEN GATAWAKAS English There is a destiny that makes us brothers, None goes his way alone. All that we put into the lives of others Comes back into our own. LINDA CARTER English, Cliche Collector Free-Lance Philosopher I would like to make school very clear: Ask not what your school can do for you, but what you can do for your school.. . What this coun¬ try needs is a good five-cent school... School waits for no man... A school in the hand is worth two in the bush... To school or not to school, that is the question.. . School means never having to say you ' re sorry. s English — SHARON MARZANO English Within yourself learn how to live. Magic that is not fugitive Lies, a rich treasure, in the mind, Thoughts that the glare of day will blind And the wild din without confute. Heed that low music; and be mute. Silentium by Fyodor Tyutchev FLORENCE MAISEL English . . . The purpose (of schools) is to subvert attitudes, beliefs, and assump¬ tions that foster chaos and uselessness. (Postman and Weingartner in TEACH¬ ING AS A SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY). English SAM JONES English It seems to me the similarities that exist within people, if sought out, can create the love that is needed for peace. It ' s the emphasis on the ways that we are similar that can bind us, and an emphasis on the ways that we differ that can destroy us. We must learn to recognize these similarities and we must learn to accept our differences. We need to be reminded periodically that people all over the world are essentially the same: we all laugh, strain, cry, sing, dance, worship, work, breathe, and die. We all feel pain, hunger, hatred, pleasure, joy, and love. A child at play in America sounds much the same as a child in a foreign land. He emulates the sound of a diving plane, the hooting of an owl, the wailing of a ghost, and the rat-a-tat of a machine gun. He laughs when he ' s happy; he cries when he ' s hurt. It ' s only his language, or his color, or his clothing that makes him seem different. It ' s his crying and laughing, though, that makes him one of us and us one of them. English WES TALLEY English JO ROUSSEAU English The block of granite which is an obstacle in the path of the weak becomes a stepping- stone for the strong. -Thomas Carlyle ' 366 mi m RED HOTT aglish Psychological research generally sup¬ ports the idea that people ' s behavior depends upon the control exerted by the social environment around them. Some of us at Belleville East have temp¬ orarily lost sight of the fact that the spirit of man grows through the nurture and love of other men and through the potential for successful human relation¬ ships. When these factors are ignored, the system begins to break down. If all of us would simply LEARN to treat each other as new experiences, unique in ourselves, instead of as ster¬ eotypes, then, there would be no limit to what we could LEARN about our¬ selves and others in this life of people and ideas. Undoubtedly there are a few com¬ pletely educated people, though, who will resent being asked to LEARN anything new. ’•V MARY BARTLOW Art And justice for all. RUTH HEILIGENSTEIN English Reading is like the slaves in the diamond mines of Golconda, who, casting aside all that is worthless, retains only pure gems.-Coleridge 2 BETTY JO MEYER, KAY WELCH English JAMES COLGAN Art WHAT-IS-TRUE The fleeting glimpse does but deceive the eye of a laboring fool. We but perceive by small degree that which we thought we knew. In this mirrored existence we cast our doubt of what is and its inception. Through this shadowy dream we grope about to distinguish real from its reflection. Can this be true, our nebulous sight, of what ' s obviously wrong, appearing as right; Or, retreating from reality is our flight, to cope with our dreams in the night. We can but deny our subconscious plight; an escape from the realm of the real. Our mind can ' t accept, it will not delight, in the essence of a perfect ideal. The frail mind unable to cope with thoughts dictated as right: Withdraws to fantasia; creating new hope, bringing to dreams a new light. Amid the myrid of conjective hybrid ideas that account for all truth: Comes ever-present, the omnipotent dread that no single solution ' s of use. One consolation, of worth to notation relates to the soundness of mind: With matter ' s cessation, comes mind ' s revelation, a spirit devine, infinite. _ RONALD ISOM Art Once upon a time, in the beautiful land of discontent and turmoil, there lived a passionately proud purple dog. He was extremely fond of holding his breath, dancing on one leg, and turning green. This strange idiocycracy was a delight to the twenty young passive purple puppies living in the beautiful land of dis¬ content and turmoil. The passionately proud purple dog was in charge of es¬ thetic discharge in the beautiful land of discontent and turmoil. One day the passionately proud purple dog died. The passive purple puppies were sad. De¬ spite their sadness die passive puppies grew up and 19 of them became large passionately passive purple dogs. One purple puppie became a passionately proud purple dog. One out of 20 ain ' t bad.

(Schaefer) Social Studies Pursuit of the truth is much more meaningful than pursuit of the dollar, but they are alike in the great importance of what you do with them once acquired. TERRY CRYDER, ALLAN SCHNEIDER Social Studies (Sorrell) Social Studies P.E. RUTH MARZ Social Studies Rejoice that under cloud and star The planet ' s more than Maine or Texas. Bless the delightful fact there are Twelve months, nine muses, and two sexes And infinite in earth ' s dominions Arts, climates, wonders, and opinions. Phyllis McGinley In Praise of Diversity P.E. SUSAN DOMAN P.E. The impulse of the heart is to love... every living thing responds to love, in one way or another. But cruel reality reaches people to hide their love and in so doing to hide themselves. Anyone who cares--truly cares--about someone else, can bring out this love and therefore invite a person to grow... for no one can grow if they are hiding. Teaching is love made visible. It is the bringing forth of all the loveliness, all the goodness, all the possibilities of another person. PAT KURZ P.E. Ruskin once said that when we fail to praise a man who deserves praise, two sad things happen; we run a chance of driving him from the right road for want of encouragement, and we deprive ourselves of one of the very happiest of our privileges, the privilege of re¬ warding labor that deserves a reward. P.E. lndustrial Ed. WILLIAM DuHADWAY P.E. Everyone should have goals and ideals to pursue in life. In attempting to reach these, we should also remember the words of Carl Schurz, an imigrant to this country. Ideals are like stars. You will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on a desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny. KATHY DARNELL P.E. Ecclesiastes 3 verses 1-8 1. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2. a time to be bom, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time t6 pluck up that which is planted; 3. a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4. a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5. a time to cast stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6. a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away 7. a time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speakj 8. a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war and a time of peace. fOOTWli GEORGE REED Industrial Education The sun shines every day, most days.

Men spend their entire lives seeking true happi¬ ness but few achieve the goal they seek. So we should help them at each opportunity afforded us. NORMAN HAKE, CAROLE THOMPSON Math ALBERT BOYLES, AARON PHILLIPS, JOHN JONES Math Math LARRY PATTON Math OK people, to factor that kind of trinomial, we ' ll have to play games with possible fac¬ tors of the quadratic term and constant until that linear term pops out. No, Jim, that method is Mickey Mouse—just do like I told you and you ' ll be better off. All right? DAVID SHEARY Math Math possesses not only truth, by supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, sublimely pure, and cap¬ able of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. Bertrand Russell THE STUDY OF MATH Math Drivers Ed JEANINE FLAUGHER Math Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe. by Galileo DIXON RAGSDALE Math Prov. 10 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. In the lips of him that hath understanding, wisdom is found: but a red is for the back of him that is void of understanding. Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. Prov. 3 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the gain there¬ of than fine gold.

One of the most appreciated services has been the new Garden Chapel for use at the time of the committal. Families have the privilege of uti¬ lizing this convenient building at no additional cost. It replaces the open tent. Families no longer need be exposed to the hazards of heat or cold, rain, snow or wind but in the quiet and beauty of the chapel can appreciate the words of inspiration and hope of the clergy.

COOPERATION, DISAGREE¬ MENTS, STUPID MISTAKES, MILES OF FILM, A NUM¬ BER OF FOUR -LETTER WORDS, MANY LONG NIGHTS BEFORE DEAD¬ LINES, INEFFICIENCY, TEAMWORK, WRITER ' S CRAMP, SEVERAL HUN - DRED GALLONS OF PINK LEMONADE AND LITERAL¬ LY BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS”--ALL OF THESE THINGS WENT INTO THE MAKING OF THIS BOOK. WE OF THE STAFF WHO WATCHED THIS YEAR¬ BOOK EVOLVE FROM A JUMBLE OF ABSTRACT IDEAS TO PAPER AND INK, HAVE TRIED TO PUT TO¬ GETHER AN ANTHOLOGY OF THOUGHTS, SIGHTS AND SOUNDS UNIQUE TO THE 71-72 SCHOOL YEAR. ALTHOUGH YOU MAY FIND THIS BOOK OUT OF THE ORDINARY, THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS THE PRODUCT OF FREE EXPRESSION OR ACA¬ DEMIC FREEDOM GUARAN¬ TEED UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. EVEN THOUGH FEEDBACK ’72 IS SOLEY THE EXPRESSION OF THE 71-72 STAFF AT BTHSE, ANY LIBERAL VIEW OR UNCONVENTIONAL PRESENTATION WILL UN¬ DOUBTEDLY CARRY SOME KIND OF ADVERSE RE¬ ACTION FROM SOME PART OF OUR READING PUBLIC. NEVERTHELESS, WE HAVE TRIED TO INITIATE SOME RIPPLES OF CHANGE THAT MAY SOMEDAY BECOME WAVES. MOST IMPOR¬ TANTLY, AT A TIME WHEN EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE SEEKING PEACE -- WHATEVER THEY CON¬ CEIVE THE WORD TO MEAN -- WE HAVE TRIED TO BE OF SOME HELP. BE¬ CAUSE, BEFORE YOU CAN FIND PEACE YOU MUST FIRST FIND YOURSELF. The purpose of this book has been to record the feedback from this year’s important hap¬ penings, However, due to the huge number of people involved in this project, a slight generalization was necessary, with only a select few being able to voice their direct opinions. To remedy this situation, a report form has been included enabling the owner of this book to record his her feedback concerning people, items and events felt to. be important to him her. OWNER: Please fill out the form, writing your reactions to anything or anyone that has been of importance to you, either positively or negatively, during this school year. REPORT FORM 1. TOPIC: A report on the actions and reactions and the opinions thereof developed throughout one typical year of high school. 2. LOCATION OF STUDIES: ABBREVIATION: FEEDBACK B.T.H.5.E. 3. TIME INVOLVED: 1971 — 72 school year .The following are the opinions of the owner concerning certain items, events, and people by which he she was confronted dur¬ ing the school year and do not necessarily reflect the policy of the yearbook staff.
