What u e looked forward to, what we anticipated, seemed to come more quickly than we realized. 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. Janet Sprehe people arrive 5
