We started the year with football and soccer games and of course those horrible long, dreaded tests. While freshmen got ac¬ quainted with the school and with each other, the upperclassmen held short reunions in the hallways with old friends. However, before we knew it, it was Loyalty Week, and that meant that the year was officially in progress. As the weather soon turned much cooler, we suddenly found ourselves sitting in the auditorium cheering on our basketball and wrestling teams. Christmas vacation gave us a little break from the daily custom of homework, but still, some used that time to prepare for exams or to put finishing touches on their term paper. Second semester arrived and brought a few schedule changes. Day after day, the first three calendar months were quiet and seemed to pass by like a dense fog. Easter then arrived and brought with her the season of spring. Spring fever hit East, and everyone waited impatiently for the first day of sunny warm weather. Tennis balls soon sailed over East’s nets, while baseball players strictly dominated our athletic fields. Just as the baseball players have taken over the field, memories have taken over my anticipation of what the 1982- 1983 school year would come to be.

Looking at the play from an insider’s view¬ point, I saw tired bodies applying their ma¬ keup with a slow, but anxious hand. Minutes before the first scene was to open, those the¬ atre Jitters crept Into everyones minds; but those butterflies were in part responsible for the energy behind each of our characters. Truthfully, we were all a bit nervous about the play until we heard the first laugh. Having had only three weeks In which to assemble the show, the confidence wasn’t at its usual level — until the laugh — until we were accepted. We were received very warmly but our audi¬ ence. M A S H has such an altruistic theme, it makes it so easy to relate to the situations and characters without the slightest knowledge of war. After the curtain call.

There is an infinite number of events during loyalty week in which one can take part to show that they are loyal Lancers. This year’s themes were: Monday — M A S H day, Tuesday — Get Physical day, Wednesday — Circus-Rodeo day, Thursday — tourist day, and Friday — Lancer Blue day. An event in which Senior girls can really let their loyalty shine through, is the powder puff Olym¬ pics. Throughout the competition, the girls have lots of fun and learn about teamwork, which is the basis of loyalty. Teamwork Is also needed as each class attempts to create their own float. Everyone can contribute by going to the sight at which it’s built. The finishing touches are complet¬ ed Thursday night and the floats can be seen being driven down Main St. in the parade on Friday. The foot¬ ball game, which takes place Friday evening, gives everyone a chance to once again show their true loyalty. Loyal Lancers are what Loyalty Week is all about!

Although activities have changed. Loyalty Week remains to help increase school spirit. Monday, M A ' S 9 H day, began with an assembly to introduce queen and escort candidates. Powderpuff com petition, also, got off to a running start. Tuesday, Get Physical day, marked the end of this year’s 3-act play, M 9 A S H. Wednesday, Circus-Rodeo day, held special festivities at the mall. East queen candidates were pre¬ sented to the public. This included a performance from Swing Choir. Thursday, Tourist day, was a busy night for many. Both hall decorating and float building were given finish¬ ing touches. Friday, Lancer-Blue day, is always the biggest day of the week. During the morning, this year’s queen and escort were announced (Diana Tal¬ ley and Wes Keene). During the afternoon. East paraded down Main St. Then during the evening, the “big” game was played. m $• ■I ’■ y ' - — ,w JtL y T.B. Tigers triumphed in the tug-of-war and volleyball during P.P.O. competition.

I peeked out at the clock in the hall. IT WAS 5:30 IN THE MORNING! I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was September 24, and so early in the morning. I staggered to the window and peered out. They were vandalizing the school. Toilet paper and tape were all over . “Class of “83“ was written in tape on all of the walls. There were guys and gals telling how they felt to be seniors; something they all had in common. I ventured out onto central terrace, keeping out of sight, of course. Everyone had these masks, like bandits, or phantoms. That ' s it, they must have been the East Phantoms. Later I realized that it was the first home football game. 1 learned that when there was a home game, I should go to bed early Thursday night. I had a lot of fun watching the students come to school those mornings after the phantoms had left. It really seemed to boost everyone ' s morale. It started that Lancer spirit flowing.

Any club that is interest¬ ed in showing it s talents is eligible to enter a cer¬ tain hallway in the com¬ petition of orglnality, artwork, and construc¬ tion. The main purpose Is to make an enlighten¬ ment upon the loyalty week theme. The theme this year was, “Under the Bigtop.” The halls are judged before school. Concert Choir took the lead this year with a 1st place, followed by Office Occupations with a 2nd place, and Distributive Education with a 3rd place. Hall decorations contribute greatly to the spirit of loyalty week. A chance is given to the union if students’ talents and efforts, which might otherwise be stiffled by everyday life.

They meet over a period of four days; Monday thru Thursday from 3:30-5:00 after school. On Monday the teams compete In events such as. an egg toss, sack race. 3-legged race, wheelbarrel race, and frisby toss. They hit the fields Tuesday with the softball throw, softball relay, relay foot race, and an obstical course. Wednesday Is full of spirit with a few games of volleyball. P.P.O. is wrapped up on Thursday with tug-of-war. Like most other sports. P.P.O. has it ' s own cheerleaders, but with a slightly different twist. Over the past years, it has become a tradition that each team recruit, and sometimes draft male cheerleaders to keep their spirit high and full of encouragement. Each team decorates and rides in their own vehicle in the parade on Friday. They flag their spirits, not only for their team, but for their school, and to build the spirits of each and every person.

For our musical enjoyment, we heard from the stage band and orchestra, the Concert Choir, and even a few of our beloved teachers showed us their talents on a variety of musical Instruments. Also included in the assembly was a performance from East’s I.E. Speech Team, and a spe¬ cial dance by a few of our students. The Christmas celebration was con¬ cluded, of course, by the annual vis¬ it of Santa Claus. people celebrate 31 Special Assemblies Q: How Arc You? A: Exciting, Fantastic And Unique! This was just a small part of the presentation given by Sir Phillip Richardson at a special assembly here at East. Sir Philip ' s speech, with his fine English accent, was mainly based on self-image. He elaborated on the fact that a positive self-image Is not a sign of conceit. Although Sir Phillip’s presentation was filled with humorous anecdotes, his message was deadly serious, and he left us with something to think about. Sir Phillip’s speech and entire presentation was well worth it If merely one or two people took his message to heart and gained a better self-confidence. Ms. Sally Goodwin, a renown harpist, nade a guest appearance at Belleville last on January 12, 1983. Miss joodwin demonstrated to the students it East that the harp can be used for nore than classical or ‘dreamy’ music, y pleasing one and all with several rieces of contemporary music as well 18 some old favorites. Students and eachers alike truly enjoyed the special issembly. 33 Computers In Today’s World With the computer age just around the corner, finding computers on every school desk is a great possibility. In the late 1950’s, the computer-aided Instruction or¬ ganization (CAI) developed the idea of using computers in education, but this concept has certainly not proceed¬ ed with the speed some experts predicted. One of the earliest experiments with com puters as a learning aid occurred at Stanford University in the early 1960 s. Professor Patrick Suppes and others developed computer programs to aid the students in their lessons. Also, in the 1960’s, Dr. Donald Bitzer developed the PLATO network at the University of Illinois. This net¬ work consisted of one large, main computer accessed throughout the school by hundreds of PLATO terminals. A terminal consists of a keyboard and display screen, but sometimes no memory capability exists. The PLATO network offered 5000 hours of instruc¬ tional material in over 240 subject areas from first grade reading to graduate-level law and engineering. One disadvantage of a large, timesharing system is the cost. Another drawback is the slower response time from the main computer. East students have endured with this frustration ever since East purchased the Digi¬ tal computer from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in October, 1978. The Digital computer is a time-sharing system with one main computer, three terminals with display and one printer terminal. Mr. Norman Hake, East’s Computer Math teacher, said that the Digitals have served the school quite well, even though it’s response time is slower than the newer microcomputers. Service on the Digital system is another problem. Without a service contract, repair time has been as much as three to four days. This situation disrupts Mr. Hake’s lesson plans until the system is fixed. For these reasons, small computers are becoming more common in today’s classrooms rather than individ¬ ual terminals connected to a remote network. Apple, Atari, Commodore, Franklin, and various TRS-80 models are more popular because of their graphic capabilities, inexpensiveness and ease of use. Mr. John Frew, Chairman of the Business Department, is looking for an inexpensive computer with “ease of operation’’. He has seen four system, but no decisions have been made. Mr. Frew has already requested two Apple He’s for the Learning Center. The Apple He will be available for stu¬ dents’ access later this year. If the school can purchase at least five computers, Mr. Frew would like to teach “Automated Accounting for the Microcomputer’ In his advanced accounting class. With technology in microcomputers improving and the schools overcoming prohibitive budgets, classroom computer expansion is definitely occurlng.

But what 1 do with this day is important because I have exchanged a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. 1 hope 1 will not regret the price I paid for it.

This is a common sight at Belleville in the spring. No, a lake has not been added to the campus, this is ]ust the result of all the rain we get in this area. The ’lake’ doesn’t create too many problems, other than being a nuisance to those students who walk home through that part of the campus, and slightly hampering the track team. 37 Scapino Scapino .

The production is always a one act play or cutting of a full length play and can only run forty minutes from curtain to curtain. The scenery has to be able to be set up within a thirty minute time period with a non timed saftey check. Being a contest play, the judges, usually college professors, will evaluate everything from choice of script or cutting to acting to scenery and costume. Everything must work artistically well together and the suc¬ cess of a contest play lies in the hands of the whole group being able to work together.

MIGUEL DE CERVANTES Like his contemporary, William Shake¬ speare, Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra lived a life only sparsely documented - many years of which are veiled in shadow. These things are known: he was born in 1547 to a proud but improverished hidalgo family; he was taken captive and spent five years as a slave in Africa. Above all he loved the theatre; in twenty years he wrote some forty plays, none of which were suc¬ cessful. In 1597 he was excommunicated for “offenses against His Majesty ' s Most Catholic Church narrowly escaping more drastic punishment. He served at least three and possibly five terms in prison on various charges. Aging, infirm, an utter fail¬ ure, he undertook the writing of “Don Qui¬ xote” to make money. Volume I, published in 1605 when Cervantes was 58, brought him fame but little profit. Volume II, ap¬ pearing ten years later, insured his immor¬ tality as author of the world ' s greatest nov¬ el, but he was already broken in body If not in spirit. He died in 1616, within ten days of the death of Shakespeare. His burial place is unknown. 47 SENIORITIS Ever since our diminuitive existence as being freshman We have all anticipated thcit day when v;e would be Seniors But now that our destined tine has arrived we find ourselves in utter confusion We cannot hold tight to the idea that by June it will all be over We are abstracted about what the future has in store for us Thoughts of college marriage, career, jobs- all race through the currents of our minds The reality hits and it hits us hard life just isn’t one big party So some of us get married Some go to college And some stay around to work But will we ever forget our lives as seniors and our dilena of Senioritis ST I 1 l I TU, For most, the 1982 football season began on Sep tember 10th when the Lancers crushed the Granite City South Warriors 55 0. The contest was played not so much with pin-point accuracy of finesse as with sheer power football. For the fifty or sixty men in uniform that night, the Granite South game had an¬ other meaning, an end. It marked the termination of nearly nine months of preparation. Since January, we had worked out In our own weight room while some athletes went a step further by train¬ ing at Nautilus or Spartans. As summer got underway our team started to take shape. We added running work outs to our strength training In order to gain speed. Finally, we had two weeks of double sessions. Anyone who finds pleasure In pain would be tickled to death with these twenty practices. Some players were injured while others just quit. When school started we were left with about 55 men to shape a successful program around. We entered Township Stadium on September 17th to clash with the always tough Althoff Crusaders. Ev eryone was pleased with the big victory over Granite but no one was really sure just how good we were yet. At the end of the first half, heavy rains set in and forced postponement of the second half until the fol¬ lowing day. A 0-0 tie was broken in the third quarter when we plunged over the goaline to get the game’s only score. After the 6-0 victory over Althoff the coaches as well as the players looked to a scrappy defense to lead our team until the offense could get its wheels rolling. Going into the third game of the year, against Quin¬ cy. we were hungry for our third consecutive shut-out. This, however, was not to be. As a matter of fact. It was the offense that seemed to score at will, whenever points were needed. At the final buzzer it was East on top. 27-20. We finally had some momentum behind us and a firm grip on confidence. All of this was shattered, however, on October 1st when we lost a heartbreaker to the Alton Redblrds. A steady downpour not only quaranteed to slow down the always quick Redblrds but bolstered our confi¬ dence even more. As we screamed “FIRE UP! FIRE UPt”. I was sure that we could and would win. If I were asked for a turning point of our season, this would be It. Going into the final minutes of the contest, the game was a scoreless tie. Our defense had Alton’s back up against the wall where a bolt of lightning struck and Alton converted Hail Mary pass Into a 97 yard touchdown to win the game. We were robbed of a game we physically dominated and deserved to win. In the two weeks to follow, we again came up empty losing to cross-town rivals, Belleville West, and South¬ western Conference powerhouse. East St. Louis. What started out as an excellent season had slipped to me- diocracy. We now stood at three wins and three losses and no one was happy to be there. A general feeling shared by both coaches and players was that of anger. On October 22 we vented that anger on the Collins¬ ville Kahoks. Although we were out of the play-off picture, we still had our pride. From the opening kick¬ off to the final gun. the Lancers controlled the ball and the game, giving us our first victory in nearly a month. After another disappointing loss to West, our 1982 team went into homecoming with a 4-4 record. Al¬ though homecoming was filled with excitement and enthusiasm, all players set their minds to a final game with Chicago Marlon. This Catholic team had suffered only one loss their whole year. We ended our season with a hard fought battle, but once again came up empty. For seniors, like myself, the thought of never again wearing an East football uniform brought tears and hugs. Our season was put In the books as East’s first losing football season but no one on that team was a loser. Football has been the driving force In my life at East. Through football. I’ve made a lot of good friends and fond memories that 1 will keep forever. Athletics, in general, has taught me that I can get out of anything exactly what I put in it. I recommend sports to anyone who Is hungry to learn and willing to pay the price to achieve success.

The team had a slow start, losing their first game to the Alton Redbirds. Their practice and dedication then began to pay off when they won their first home match against Edwardsville. Cahokia. and East St. Louis Lincoln. The team’s first run In with the Belleville West Maroons ended In disappointment but made them even more determined in their second confrontation where they came out on top. The taste of victory was even sweeter when the Lancers battled back to defeat Mater Del for the first time. In the Belleville West Tournament the team came back to beat Althoff in the last two games, receiving second place overall. The four team captains this year were seniors Judy Becherer. Anne Gundlach. Robin Brown, and Susan Fleschren. Two assets to the squad this season have been Judy Becherer. who was voted “player with the most hustle’’ by her teammates, and Erin Gaul, a junior, who was voted “most valuable player’’ by her teammates. Even though there were some outstanding players, for the most part the members of the squad played more as a team than In any past year. Problems within the team were solved with the help of team meetings soon after they arose. More spectators came out to watch the games this season, which added to the excitement. above: 1st row: Lynette Vellweber, Robin Brown. Anne Gundlach. Renee Yelland.

The 1982 East golf team, under the new leadership of Coach Dean Renn, posted a 12-4 regular season mark while taking many post season honors. The season began on a sour note as the Lancers suffered a one-stroke loss in Edwardsville against the powerful Tigers. East rebounded with consecutive wins against Mascoutah and Alton. Then the East linxters took their 2-1 record to the Decatur Tournament and grabbed third place honors. The team was then pounded by the crosstown rival West Maroons on Sept. 13 by a thirteen stroke margin. Rebounding with a win against the always tough O’Fallon Panthers and a first place trophy at the Edwardsville Tourney, the Lancers then suffered the low point of their season. They took consecutive losses from Edwardsville and Alton. The squad called a team meeting, did some soul searching, and came back with quadrangular meet wins over Granite North. Granite South and West. They followed this surge with wins over Mascoutah. Althoff, West, East St. Louis and Collinsville to finish the season. East’s top six golfers entered post season play and players such as Chris Russell. Lance Stafko and Rick Mathison finally emerged to give East the boost it needed. The team took first at both districts and sectionals, a feat never accomplished before by an East golf team. The team then finished out the year placing 13th at the state finals. During the season East’s top performers never quite measured up to what most expected. However, they did make then presence felt at districts and sectionals. Chris Russell placed 1st at the sectional meet while Lance Stafko and sophomore Dave MacArthur played good consistent golf.

Those players were Lori Cruez and Beth Stuckey In singles and Holley Mathison.

The highlight of the 1982-83 basketball season has to be the two first place trophies East received In the Carbondale Holiday Tournament and the Belleville East Invitational. The Lancer basketball team displayed to everyone the enormous talent they possessed. Steve Switzer also proved himself when he was named ' ‘most valuable player” In both tournaments. Unfortunately the team was not able to keep this momentum all season long and ended up with a 10-8 record. Around the middle of the season the team suffered the loss of two starters, Gary Leonard and Mark Going, to injuries. The other players were able to work together to overcome these handicaps, however, and became quite successful during mid¬ season. top left: Sophomore Gary Leonard leaps toward the basket for another two points, top center: Steve Switzer heads toward the basket in a game against Belleville West, top right: Senior Jeff Cox shoots over his Kahok opponent, bottom left: Lancers get game winning strategy from Coach Otness. bottom right: Gary Leonard gets under the basket with the ball and puts It in.

T L The Girl ' s Basketball team started practicing for the 1982 83 season In late October. They began by winning their first game against Granite City North. The second game proved to be a bit more of a challenge when they lost to Centralia. This season the Girl ' s Basketball team found themselves In the winners ' circle at the Mascoutah Tournament for the first time In several years. In the first game they came out on top against Mount Vernon. They lost a disappointing second game to Mascoutah by one point. This put them in a match-up against Collinsville for third place from which they emerged victorious, bringing home the trophy. After the tournament, the team continued Its winning streak through the next three games. In the Hazelwood Tourney the girls won their first game against Pattonville and for the second time this season found themselves in contention. Unfortunately, as in the first tournament, they lost their second game against host team Hazelwood Central. This put them in a contest for 3rd place against Belleville West, but the game was cancelled so the title remained unclaimed. Through January and February the team played a string of away games, a majority of which they won. The girls ended the season with a 14 and 9 record. 77 upper left: Lancer girls go for the jump ball during a game against Belleville West, upper right: Anne Gundlach towers over her opponent and has no trouble scoring two more, lower left: Senior Judy Becherer finds the basket wide open and goes for the layup. lower right: Anne Gundlach jumps for the ball while battling Belleville West. 78 SCHEDULE 12-14 Granite City North won 12-16 Centralia lost 12-22 Althoff won 12-28-30 Mascoutah Tourney 3rd 1-4 Alton won 1-6 Granite City South won 1-10 Althoff won 1-11 East St. Louis lost 1-17-21 Hazelwood Central Tourney 1-25 Collinsville lost 1-29 Mascoutah won 2-2 Belleville West won 2-3 Triad won 2-7 Alton lost 2-9 Collinsville won 2-15 Edwardsville won 2-21 East St. Louis lost 2-24 Cahokia won 3-1 O’Fallon won 3-3 Belleville West lost top: Junior Pam Peters looks for an open teammate, right: MaryAnn Fahey shoots the free throw with pin point accuracy, bottom: Senior Robin Brown races down the court. East wrestlers came away from the 1982-83 season with a 12-8 record. The season ' s highlight occurred when the team captured Its 7th regional crown at the O’Fallon class AA tournament. Going into the tournament East was ranked third behind Cahokla and Belleville West. East soon proved to both of these teams that it possessed the talent to come from behind and win. East then went on to receive 13th place in the sectional tournament. The team sent its number one wrestler. Brad Walker, to the state tournament this season. Other members of the squad who contributed to the success of the team are No. 2 wrestler Mark Bartle. No. 3 Brian Wolf.

This year we played more marching tunes than we did modern. This change was due to Mr. Kirsch. We had our difficulties at the beginning of the season, but we all pulled together and had some really good perfor¬ mances. Along with our change, we also had more student participation In our programs. The field performances were written around the student ' s Ideas. This was not only fun for them, but it also made the shows more inter¬ esting. I have enjoyed directing the “Lancer March¬ ing Band for me it was a dream come true. I can ' t think of any other group of extraordinary people to work with. There is exceptional tal¬ ent in the band. I am glad that I have had the opportunity to direct them at all the football and basketball games, and the assemblys. — Drum Major Michael Hostetter 115 1st row: Angie McMillian, Margie Handy, Becky Moran, Stacy Icenhower, Rhonda Kins, Lisa Littlejohn. 2nd row: Dawn Mank, Kim Morris, Debbie Jenkins, Vicki Graham, Kim Bauer. 3rd row: Tammy Wright, Donna Smith, Debbie Kerkemeyer, Margie Karika, Lynette Boehne, Kim Neuner.

Todd Howard 126 Mr. McCoy To Retire After 17 Years As 1st Principal Of Belleville East High School Charles G. McCoy, Principal Before Mr. McCoy came to East, he was director of students at two schools in East Moline, IL. Although East didn’t open until 1966, Mr. McCoy started work in April of 1965. In filling the East opening, the Board of Education will search throughout the state, as well as the Belleville area. The new principal will take office on July 1, 1983, and Mr. McCoy will remain at East until the end of August. In 1981, Mr. McCoy was elected president of the Illinois Principals Association. Over 3000 high school and grade school principals are members of this group. He first held the post of secretary-treasurer of the organization. Every year, new problems arise as old ones are put away. Despite small problems developing every year, Mr. McCoy feels that progress continually is being made at East. He believes that East is on its way, if it isn’t already there, to being a very prominent school in the state. As for his future plans, Mr. McCoy stated that he is invest! gating possible business opportunities in the local area. (Laureate) ■1 Mr. McCoy was even remembered by East ' s Phantoms this year.

I feel that the Senior Class of ’83 has been, by far, the most spirited class I’ve seen.

The class was busy selling hotdogs, hot chocolate, and coffee at football games along with other candy sales and car washes. Some of their earnings went towards Loyalty Week activities which turned out well for the Juniors since they took first place in both the class float and the spirit chain competitions. “This year the Junior Class has shown a great amount of school spirit!” commented Pam Savage. 212 juniors Aaron - Bartle Dave Aaron Debbie Aaron Curt Abegg Jeff Abel Jim Agan Bill Ames Pam Andersen Jeff Anderson Joanne Anderson Lisa Andreson Dave Andes Bill Andrews Nancy Angenend Jorle Arnold Chris Bachman Shawn Bahorich Belinda Bailey Juniors 213 Howard Baker Linda Baker Becky Bakken Beth Baldridge Sam Ballard Rick Barbachem Sharon Barbee Sue Barns Paul Barthel Mark Bartle Barton - Bradley Tim Barton Melissa Bass Barb Bassett Scott Bauman Lisa Becherer Ray Bechtel Monica Becker Lesley Bell Marie Benavidez Jeff Berger Michelle Berkbuegler Jim Bertelsman Jay Bertelsman Jean Bertelsman John Bethard Tracee Bevill Mike Bevineau Scott Biermann Keith Billhartz Lisa Bilski Shelley Blazlnic Mary Bloss Denise Boivin Bill Bolam Chris Borkowski Jeff Bowen Karl Bowers Dana Boyer Mark Boyer Mae Boyles Robyn Bradley 214 Juniors Braun - Coleman Barbara Braun Tom Braun Brian Bretsch Bob Breunig Beth Briggs Jeff Broderick Cheryl Brown Debbie Brown Diane Brown Sandy Brown Karen Bryan Jeff Buell Dave Bugg Ed Buhs Eric Burgess Kari Burke Randy Burns Keith Buske Julie Bussing Judie Call Denny Callahan Dan Campbell Tony Carpenter Shelly Carson Jim Chace Ben Clark Paul Cleiman Pam Coleman 215 juniors Colvin - Dumstorff Andy Colvin Leah Conklin Jim Cook Richard Cook Don Cornell Paul Correale Debbie Cowart Ken Cowart Brian Dauphin Brad Davis Kim Decker Dianne Deppe Betty Dietrich Curt Dilday Wendy Dingerson Perry Dodson Beth Donohue Jackie Donohue Darwin Dormeier Heather Doyen Brad Doyle Cyndy Dreyer Sherri Dreyer Trade Drouin Mike Duguay Scott Dukowitz Kathy Dulle Brian Dumstorff Second Chance Walking one morning Tears come to my eyes.

The cheers and songs at all the football games The making faces, the calling names The silly things we used to do. In all of these, there’s me you. Spirit week we dressed up great. Christmas dance we had a date. Unsigned notes we use to send. You tell me now that they have to end? One year. That’s all? Time seems to fly.

We are the class of ’84. and once more we are the victims of closed campus. Since freshmen year, we were barred from off campus privi- ledges, and this year was no exception. Despite the new rule’s popularity, it helped reduce school vandalism, decrease tar¬ dies, promote better study attitudes and in¬ crease involvement with classroom activities. At first we were enraged by the rule; however, we soon learned to accept it. Once again, we hopefully look forward to the de¬ sired freedoms and privi- ledges that we were be¬ fore so often denied, by Janet Sprehe Michelle Koeller Dave Koesterer Jill Kohnen Lisa Krummich Susan Krummrich Debbie Kuhl Denise Kujawa Jim LaBlance Faith Lannom Jim Larson Jean Lassitor Eric Leftwich Ken Lehr Roberta Leinicke Laurie Leonard Lisa Leonard Chris Lett Katie Levy Davis Lewis Dwight Lindhorst Amy Logsdon Bob Lonsdale Jim Lugge Jim Mackin April MacMiller Kathy Mahoney Brian Majka juniors 221 Malone - Mueller Tamm y Malone John Marlnella Sherri Marsh Kim Martin Sheryl Martin Jim Maschoff Michelle Maserang Mike Massa Holly Mathison Pat Mayden Beth Me Allister Jean Me Cabe Brenda Me Clure Larry McDowell Neil Me Elligott Sherri Me Whorter Barb Meirlnk Becky Merritt Lisa Merryman Todd Metze Joan Miles Mike Miles Laurie Miller Sarah Miller Scott Miller Liz Mitchell Pat Moore Kim Morris Cindy Mueller 222 Juniors Mueller - Perladri N True worth is In being, not seeming. In doing, each day that goes by. Some little good not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness. And spite of the fancies of youth.

And nothing so royal as truth. by Alice Cary Roy Mueller Brenda Muench Angie Mueth Patty Murphy Jim Nations Scott Nephew Patti Neutzling Steve Niederkorn Angie Ogden Janet Ohl Jay Ohlendorf Mary Palucci Keith Pappas Donna Paris Yogesh Patel Dawn Patterson Angie Patton Frank Paule Paul Pearson Shellie Pease Judy Pecina Beth Peery Ed Peery Steve Peery Jackie Pensoneau Shari Peotter Jim Peppier Val Periandri Juniors 223 Peters - Richter Amy Peters Beth Peters Pam Peters Laurie Peterson Nancy Phelps Ted Phillips Tracy Phillips Karen Ping Ann Poettker Dan Poettker Denise Powell Stacy Preisendanz Laurie Priest Jodie Prince Pat Prindable Tiffany Pulse Reva Qualls Steve Queen Jeff Raab Gina Rainbolt Bill Rauckman Cheryl Relchling This year we no longer hear the favorite pop hits as we sit in the cafeteria. In it’s place we hear Chitter chatter, the rattling of plates and trays, and giggling from almost every corner. No longer do we hear the constant pounding and banging on the ]uke box which was always ready to gobble our quarters, nickels, and dimes. One of the main rea¬ sons why the jukebox was tak¬ en out was due to all its me¬ chanical difficulties. Although the familiar music machine is gone, its absence is not very noticeable.

This year has gone by the fastest, but 1 guess that’s because this year has been lot’s of fun.

We’ve been very busy this year working on the prom, floats which by the way, won 1st place, and other activities. Our class, as a whole, is really good not just academically but also industriously. We’ve worked hard in order to get our jobs done. I think that we’ll be good leaders next year.” junior Kim Verbeck “Our class has really taken alot of interest in the activities here at East.

Most of us spend our whole Christmas va¬ cation working on these dread¬ ed works of length and pro¬ foundness. Tons of paper and notecards are a must. I don’t know how many times I had to start over again. Frustration was soon my quick companion, and the typewriter suddenly became my constant enemy. Cursing underneath my breath, working steady until the wee hours of the night, losing half my notecards, embedding my room with wadded up paper, and making frequent trips to the library are all a part of writing a term paper.

Wood on fire is fuel. Knowledge on fire is power. There is no more power in knowledge than there is in the stones or stars, unless there be a spirit and life in knowledge which give it its en¬ ergy. In proportion as men have this spirital power they become strong in the world. A.

Place one idea upon paper, another will follow it, and still an- other, until you have written a page. You cannot fathom your mind. It is a well of thought which has no bottom. The more you draw from it, the more clear and fruitful will it be. If you neglect to think yourself, and use our people’s thoughts, giving them utterance only, you will never know what you are capable of. At first your ideas may come out in lumps, homely and shapeless; but no matter; time and perseverance will arrange and polish them. Learn to think, and you learn to write; the more you think, the better you will express your ideas. G.A.

If you put in a stone, respect that it was your best. However, if you put in a pebble, expect to find something less. No school or teacher can make you learn. You learn only what you want to learn. Although it may re¬ quire you to focus more of your attention on some boring lec¬ ture, take all of your books home everynight, or reach out for additional help, the reward is yours to achieve. Change your pebbles into stone in all situations; and as a result, they’ll have more worth.

Newly built ramps that were de¬ signed for the handicapped could be found lead¬ ing up to most buildings. A new bulletin board was given to the school from the graduating class of 1982. Changes in dress erupted from the punk craze. Mrs. _ suddenly had dark brown hair. (What ever happened to the gray, 1 don’t know.) However, the most astonishing change took place around the flagpole. For the first time in school history, our flagpole was adorned with names of popular rock groups, cou¬ ples initials, and various works of art. Although most students liked it, the administration did not. Yet when we came back from Xmas break, we noticed that the administration wanted to contribute to the decorating of the flagpole too. However, their idea of decorating the flagpole was drenching it with plain white paint.

Friends are always there to give us a helping hand, whether we need it or not. Friends are people we can have fun with. Friends are those who know how to make us happy. Friends are those who en¬ courage us to perform the best of our ability. Friends are people we can trust and depend on. Friends are always a thought away from each other.

Were there really elevators behind those blue doors in each building? Was there a swimming pool underneath the locker room?

A few of the questions pertained to school, but most dealt with after-school activities. The average results follow. Since little sex discrimination existed in the answers, the results are listed by class only. CLASS OF 84: -most juniors snack after school while watching television, M-TV, or listening to the radio, -more than half are involved with extra-curricular activities; mostly clubs and sports. -on the weekend, going to games, parties, movies, and just out with friends is popular. -the most common curfews are: 11:00 or 10:00 on weekdays, and 12:00 or none at all on weekends. -juniors go to the movies on the average of once a month, and often view one movie three or more times. This partially due to cable television which more than half of the families have, -about half of the juniors have part time jobs and work close to 20 hours per week. -more than three fourths of these students drive, but only a few drive their own cars, -approximately two thirds have only five classes while the others have six.

In Memory OS Blanche Lucas had been a business teacher in District 201 since the early 1960’s. She was a native of West Frandfort, Illinois, and previously taught at Marion High School in southern Illinois before Joining the faculty at Belleville West. When the East High School was opened, she was one of the charter mem¬ bers of the business faculty. She taught at East until her death In 1982. Miss Lucas was a very devoted family person. She enjoyed sports — especially basketball, and one of her favorite hobbies was watching soap operas on television. Beginning shorthand was her favorite subject. Her whole life was devoted to teach¬ ing. She will be sorely missed. Blanche Lucas February 5, 1983 It was a wintery cold and grey Saturday. The snow was to fall, when I got a call, A friend had passed away, was the bitter news. My mind searched, only to find it blank. My heart sank as I felt the blues. And I asked myself, “Why, why did he die?’ I often could hear him fighting his daily battles, And with his loving family and his caring God he took a stand. He strived for the best. Living through pain to no rest. And 1 asked myself, “Why, why did he die?” He couldn’t get enough of life. Very active in school he was. Class president, math team, student council. But he was more than that. He was a friend to all. Saying “hi to everyone he saw. And I asked myself. “Why, why did he die? ’ February 5, 1983, was his happiest day. No longer did he have to fight. Though we can’t accept that death of a friend, we say It was the will of God, the way, the truth, and the light. I say to you, my friends, Kenny is in God’s hands. And what a better life he will live. Remember him, I will. Ask of me why? Because he did not die. -Ben Clark Junior A Special Place in Heaven Death a painful loss Wishing their lives would never end But it’s especially hard on everyone When it’s the death of a special friend A life that was full of happiness And a smile as bright as the sun Our friend will never be forgotten In our hearts, he lives forever on All the tears we’ve cried And the pain that we’ve been through A sad loss for everyone But in your prayers he’ll be there to comfort you God will guard and keep him Within his love each day But he will be there with us Every step of the way The days slowly pass by now In the death of our dear friend But God has something for him A special place in heaven! •Barb Harmon Junior The Kind Heart The Wise Mind A life can be a silent prayer That softly sings its hymn Born a brightness in the darkness Pouring gently through the dim Careful whispers at the grasses It’s the raining on the drought But no one cares to listen until The candle’s out! -Kelly Harriman Senior 268 Kenny Kelley Jim Chace Retiring CHARLES G.

Even though it ' s all true. I ' ll spare you all from reading it again. I’ve really had a good time working on this yearbook, and although it got to be a real hassle at times, the terrific staff 1 had to work with always came through. Well guys, we did it!!! Another yearbook is out and the whole school is looking at it. I hope you ' re as proud of this book as 1 am. It ' s pretty neat to realize how many memories we’ve created. I just want to thank all of you for putting up with me in my good moods and bad. I hope I was there when you needed me for help, you were always there when I needed you. We’ve made it through two whole years without making any enemies or driving each other up the walls (at least not for very long!). I wish you all the best of luck in all you do. I don’t know how many of you I will see after this year, I just pray that God is with you and that you get everything out of life that you want. For all of you that are staying and are going to work on the yearbook next year, all I can say is ... GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!! Judy Weis Editor Well, It’s not all hard work!!
