Belleville Township High School East - Yearbook (Belleville, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 304 of the 1985 volume:

Eighteen typical accessories that no YOUR OFFICIAL EAST SURVIVAL KIT 1. ID- Proof that you exist at Belleville East. Second only to the credit card. 2. Cu rling Iron- An essential for the girls after P.E., but if it ' s raining or you got up late, the end of history is O K. too. 3 Brush (substitutable for comb if you are a guy) — 80% of the girls at East cease to exist without their brush. Most often in use at the last five minutes in class, right after the makeup has been applied. Boys, on the other hand, are armed with a comb at all times, and use it ... whenever time permits. 4 Black Address Book- (get this if nothing else)- A guy without his little black book is like a sea without water, a bird without wings . . . 5. Notebook- primarily used for your writing assign¬ ments, but, as we all know, it’s also useful for doo¬ dling in while plagued with boredom in class. 6. Pen- the pen is most commonly used for your essays and notes, but you sometimes sec their inkblots all over your desk, which some Rorshach-happy nut from Psychology left behind — watch where you set down those papers!! 7. Pencil- used for Algebra and Geometry home¬ work, but it is also used for making more detailed pictures on your desk along with inkblots. 8. Algebra Book- the Algebra book ' s most obvious use is for teaching algebra and providing assignments to do. While trying to do assignments, some students find it makes a good pillow. It has other uses, like ..urn, acting as an umbrella in the rain! Or per¬ haps kindling for the fire! (After it has been used, of course.) 9. Laureate (school newspaper)-When the newspa¬ per comes out, you can always find the Laureate staff. They are the ones loaded down with tons of newspaper, trying to unload them onto you for 20 . 10. Jacket- Yes, when you enter high school, you feel an obligatory tug to get an East jacket. Go ahead, everyone else does. 11 Handbook- An item handed to you in one of your English classes at the beginning of the year contain¬ ing the sacred commandments of Belleville East (usually found at the bottom of everyone’s locker.) 12. Shoes- typical Lancer shoes: never seen with socks and worn all year round. 13. Phantom Mask- Only essential to bankrobbers, masqueraders ... or seniors who wish to become phantoms, that insidious group who wreak havok upon the East campus by “decorating” with toilet paper and masking tape during Loyalty Week. They cover their faces so they can ' t tell who taped up that freaky comment of David Letterman’s, or who loves such-and-such .. . you get the idea. 14. Tape- used by students to post up signs, letters, etc., while teachers think it could be more wisely used on students ' mouths. 15. Lock- The lock is used for protecting items that you don ' t want stolen, such as clothes, books, and other personal items. Then you have your locker combination (most of the numbers unreadable) which usually takes the poor freshmen ten times be¬ fore they can even get it open. 16. Lancer schedule- If you don ' t know what to do on a Friday (hard to believe, but some people don’t), just pick up your Lancer schedule and attend a game in your local area: B.T.H.S. West. 17. Toilet paper A major item that has many uses. It can be used to decorate our school, get back at your favorite teacher ' s trees, blowing your nose etc. (comes in a variety of colors and florals) 18. The Belleville East Letter- The East school letter is usually sewed on the sweaters or jackets of jocks or preps. This “B” is a prestigous symbol for them to show off to their girlfriends or boyfriends. School Year . . . pg. 2 What happened at East throughout the first semester.

(Also included are the special “Student ads”, bought by upperclassmen wanting to give a special message!) You know it’s the first day of school when 1) You go to your locker and Find out that you can’t remember your combination. 2) You wait at the bus-stop for an hour and then realize that this might not be the right one. 3) Everyone is wearing new clothes. 4) Everyone is extra happy because they are seeing their old friends again, or they are unhappy because school started. 5) Most people come back looking like they were in a Coppertone commercial and you look like you’ve been in a cave the whole summer. 6) The school food is fresh. 7) People are looking at the snack-bar prices with their mouths open. 8) You get rich on selling elevator passes. 9) You’ve been asked ten times where Q building is. 10) People have their hair blond, and last year they were brunettes. 11) You have to check out what everyone is wearing. 12) You walk down that mile to find your bus. t The First Day! What Get An Eyeful Of East s — Lancers In Their Although it rained throughout this 19th Loyalty Week, Lancer Spirit could not be dampened. Students showed their spirit for East by actively participat¬ ing in the following Dress-Up days: 1) Favorite Television Character or Celebrity Day 2) Inside-Out Backward Opposite Day 3) MTV Music Day 4) Tourist Sheik Hawaiian Day 5) Lancer Blue Day. During the week, people passing by the East campus may have thought that the whole student body had gone crazy. There were all kinds: people vvalking around with their clothes on the wrong way, guys dressed as girls, people dressed in sheets and others walking around with newly sprayed neon-orange hair. Visitors would have sworn that a portion of the student body couldn ' t dress themselves, some were having a Boy George crises, some just got up from bed with the sheets and all, and others were straight out of an MTV video. Some of the more colorful and stand-outish costumes included Gandhi, Aunt Jemima, ZZ Top, Gilligan, and even a television proudly bearing the MTV symbol. (Honorable mentions go to all the others we neglected to mention.) In any case, the student body as a whole had a good time and made the entire week enjoyable. 1) Tim Eiserle sets off enthusiastically to another class. 2) Oliver Bell, Scott Gass and Robb Nabb 3) Fashions this year really went for the “individual look” 4) “If only we could find Q-building on this map. 5) To Jerry Costello, Grant Blaies, and Jon Rosenstengel dressing as ladies was quite an adjustment. 6) Tammy Fischer, Tracy Arnold, and Jill Kaufman go for the “bov-ish” look. 7) Just two average students on their way to their next class. 8) Jerry Costello and Larry LeCompte take a needed break. They’ve had a horrendous day!! 9) There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding here. Lancers Deck The Halls p- 4 4i ■ • r- w hr t his year, as in ears past, the halls were decorated during Loyalty Week. This not only shows the spirit of some of Last’s organizations, hut gets the student body as well as the teachers in a more festive mood. Some of the organizations that participated in this event were Drama-Speech, German Club, Cheerleaders, and C oncert C hoir. The halls are decorated Thursda) night b dedicated members of these organizations. The dinner of this event was Concert Choir, who presented “C.C. I.V.” It non hands down! Vandalism On Our Campus? i IQV Jv V ' It nas a normal, end of the month, Sep¬ tember morning nhen I armed at East. As a nen student. 1 still had a lot to get aquainted with, but basically, everything was falling into place on my schedule and I didn ' t notice much. I noticed a couple of things though: the leaves Here turning color, the Hind nas getting nippy, toilet paper and tape Here strenn all over the East campus TOILET PAPER AND TAPE WERE STREWN ALL OVER THE EAST CAMPUS?!! I nas frantic. Some kind of diabolical group had sabotaged the place overnight and no one seemed to notice. In fact it seemed to get people more peppy! Later I found out that this nas the nork of the phantoms, a group of students nho decorate the school in order to visually shoH their spirit. It sure seemed to nork too! Eveybody nas nalking around talk¬ ing about the game that nas to come, that ne Hould eventually nin. Maybe the idea Hasn ' t so bad after all!! � r The XVIII Annual Powder- Puff Olympiad During Loyalty Week, amny student body mem¬ bers actively participate: by dressing up on the dress-up days, being a phantom, or taking part in one of the assemblies. Another Loyalty W eek tra¬ dition has been the P.P.O. or Powder Puff Olym¬ pics, in which a group of senior girls try out for one of four teams (athletic talent is not necessarily required; P.P.O.’s basic purpose is to have fun and show Lancer spirit, while also preparing for the football game.) Four teachers volunteer to coach their team to a hopeful victory. This year Mr. Robert Vitek, Mr. Terry Blaies, Mr. Larry Patton, and Mr. George Siebert captained the teams of “Vi’s Guys’’, “Blaies’ Bandits’’, “Patton’s Tuff Puffs’’, and “Siebert’s Superstars’’. The various events were relays, three-legged races, or the famous tug of war. All teams had strong members, but “Patton’s Tuff Puffs’’ eventually won their way to the top! East Paints The Town Blue Finishing touches were put on the floats by stu¬ dents like Frank Lunn (junior). These floats: “Aim for Victory ’ - seniors, “Cheers to East” - juniors, “The A-Team” - soph¬ omores, and “Wide World of Sports” - freshmen were completed just in time for the 19th annual Loyalty Week Parade. The winning float was the “Aim for Victory” float built by the senior class. All the floats, how¬ ever, showed great imagination and ingenuity. The Belleville East Marching Band along with the Lancer Line (Pom-Pon girls) also played a big part in the East tradition. 1) 2) 3) Juniors, sophomores and freshmen show their spirit on their floats. Juniors, however, say they are number one. 4) Our Loyalty Week Queen, Michelle Eastman, joins in the festivities after being crowned. 5) Her court consists of Janice McAteer, Tami Trover, 6) Robyn Schneider, Ise Sooter 7) and last, but defenitely not least, Monica Mohr and Tammy Nunez. Royalty At Belleville East v -1 ji j r?- % S V K ef 1) Tammy Trover and Brian Burkett smile happily for pictures. 2) The Loyalty Week queen, Michelle Eastman, awaits to enter with Steve O’Neil. 3) The second runner up, Monica Mohr, was escorted by Bob Eagan. 4) The new queen and her court just after being crowned. 5) Gary Leonard and Tammy Nunez begin the “long walk” across the gym. 6) Last year’s queen, Michele Reinecker, shows up to pass on the crown. 7) Janice McAteer being escorted by Steve Jacobs. 8) Robyn Schneider and Matt Talley pause a moment for pictures. 9) All of the candidates with their escorts. 10) The underclassmen princesses with their escorts. The date was Friday, Octo¬ ber 19, 1984. Seven senior girls sat nervously in a crowd¬ ed gym. They awaited the final decision of who would be this year’s Loyalty Week Queen. Finally, after what must have seemed like hours to them the winner was announced. It was Michelle Eastmann. Her court included Tammy Trover, Tammy Nunez, Janice McAteer, Ise Sooter, Monica Mohr and Robyn Schneider. Their escorts were Bob Eagan, Gary Leonard, Brian Burkett, Matt Talley, Steve O’Neil, Steve Jacobs and Joe Miller. Lancers Guide Their Team To Victory! This years Loyalty Week football game was reminicent of many other games we have played in the past: it was cold, everyone was huddled together screaming against the other team and getting hoarse, and the ground was muddy and slick. However, none of the factors stopped Belleville East from charging to an impressive victory against Collinsville: 21-0. Perhaps this continued Loyalty Week winning streak by the Lanc¬ ers can be primarily credited to the four men behind the football squad: Head Coach McGinnis, Coach Snep, Coach Thompson and Coach Voelkel. It was easy to see how the fans felt about the game but it’s hard to keep from thinking about how much pressure must be put upon the coaches in the final minutes of the game without losing your cool. Coach McGinnis replied this when asked how he felt about the game, “Despite the impending weather, the football team once again pleased the crowd with another win and made an impressive showing.” 17 Come Together The 10 Best Crowd Cheers: 1.

One of the many events that take place during the year at East, are assemblies. As¬ semblies are an East tradition and have been for many years. Assemblies are held at dif¬ ferent times throughout the year. There are many purposes for having assemblies. One of the most important is to get the student body “peppy” and excited about the particular sports game to come. This allows our Lancer teams to get self-confidence and lets them know that the whole student body is behind them 100%. Also, assemblies can act as learning events. A couple of examples are the “Pepsi Assembly” and the assembly on drugs. And, of course, we have our yearly Christmas assembly so Santa Claus can come to visit us. During are assemblies we are entertained by the Lancer bands and orchestra, by our choirs, by the cheerleaders, and the pom-pon girls always have a routine ready to get us going. True Entertainment The Belleville East production of You Cun t Take It With You. by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, was one of the most successful ever to be performed at East. The three act corned) is centered around the Vanderhofs, a familv trying to survive in the ’30s, the years of the Great Depression. All of the action in this plav takes place inside the Vanderhof home. The large family features some unique members — Essie, an otuout-of-this-world ballerina; Boris Kolenhov, who occasionally comes over to “train Essie; Ed, who prints anything; Helga, the Swedish maid; Penny Sycamore, a writer who gives her work more credit than it de¬ serves; and finally, Paul Sycamore and Mr. De- Pinna, who manufacture fireworks. There is also Alice Sycamore, Penny’s daughter, who sticks out like a sore thumb: she is the only real “down to earth member of the family. The plav essentially covers the unique talents of each member of the family and the romance that begins to blossom between Alicee Syca¬ more and her beau, Anthony Kirby. Tony and Alice face many problems in their love lives.The magor problem is that Tony ' s parents aren’t accepting the Sycamores as well as Tony did. However, as all love stories go, the couple and their families find a “happy end¬ ing . For A Lancer Theatre Presents: One-Acts Every year the sophomore and freshmen Lancers do 1-Act Plays during the fall. This year they paid their tribute to the famous “tragi-comic” writer, James Thurber. The play, based on nine different short stories, was entitled “Thurber’s Carnival”. The nine stories which were done are; “Mr. Preble Gets Rid of his Wife”, “The McBeth Murder”, “If Grant had been Drinking at Appomatox”, “The Little Girl and the Wolf’, “The Unicorn in the Gar¬ den”, “The W olf at the Door”, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, “The Last Flower”, and “The Night the Bed Fell”. This year a new addition was added to the play, a revolving set. This new idea was very appropriate because it accomidated the nine different settings of each story. The teachers which helped the students put this all together were Mr. Frank Wins¬ low, Mr. Ron Isom, and Mrs. Jemima Owens. The student directors were Liz Jah- ren, Eddie Evans, and Kevin Vogt. All of these people did a great job, but most of the credit should be given to the students who put their time and effort into making this play for our enjoyment. 1) Ryan Robinson expresses his emotions to Jodi Dean in the play, “Mr. Preble Gets Rid of his Wife.” 2) Brian Tallant relates, “The Night the Bed Fell” on his father. 3) Monica Rodriguez awaits to be operated on by Pat Swierczek and Alex McHugh in the story “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” 4) Phillip Evans and Kelly Hobbs try to solve “The Macbeth Murder Mystery” 5) In “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” pantomimes were used to help relate the sto¬ ry to the audience. Lancers Helping Others Ouch! ? The yearly Blood Drive shows the Lancers 9 need to help others. This year on Oct. 9 and Dec. 10, all students over the age of 17 who were interested in giving blood, came together in the gym. There, the Red Cross’ team of nurses with their supplies prepared for their arrival. Out of the many students that showed up, most of them were able to give blood. Aside from the fainting, people backing out ect. the Blood Drive went very well. This outstanding outcome will help many people in need of blood for life. 1) The happy donor recipiant, Shei¬ la Seets, anxiously awaits her milk and cookie reward. 2) Students mentally prepare them¬ selves for what’s coming. 3) “This is one way to get out of study hall. 4) A Red Cross volunteer nurse adds up the day’s results. 5) “Hey there big boy, what time do you get off work? 6) Mr. Klein “flips’’ for the blood drive. mol day ot 1984 final ready for the twelve it before we could tie up the old year, had to have our yearly Christmas assembl semhly the student body was entertained b) ley’s chorus’. They did a very good job on some of our favorite Christmas songs and others. We also saw Mr. Kirsch and the Belleville East bands. One of the students favorite songs was a jewish song. Mr. Kii also had a number of teachers help him out on one of tl songs. They played the triangle, the tamborine, the m 2 akas, a plastic clarinet and many others. The assembly was finally concluded by the arrival of the one and only Santa Claus. He ran around the gym and handed out candy to all of the good little boys and girls. Before he left, he reminded us of the East slogan,” there are two kinds of students, those who go to Belleville East and those who wish 5 East Gets Dance Fever Some of the many social events that take place at East are the dances. These are sponsored b the Student Council. Many of these dances are opened to everyone. Only a few dances are for couples only and they take place at Christmas and near Valentine ' s Day. The dance pictured here took place in November. It was a charity dance. If a gave 2 canned goods, they were admitted free. They could pay $2.00 instead. These canned goods were given to the needy in the area. Many families received these. Not only did students have a blast, but they also showed that teens do care. A Lancer’s Gourmet Guide A Lancer’s diet consists mainly of (come on, we all know it!) Junk Food! Lancers are JllNK FOOD MONSTERS! Here we ha e the basic three meal plan: Breakfast: Breakfast is simply ignored, by stu¬ dents who can escape Mummy’s orders. If not, cold cereal (Fruit Loop, Capn’ C runch, etc.), toast, bagels, and sometimes cold pizza with soda will do. Lunch: Certain Lancers continue their streak with more junk food at the snack bar, McDon¬ ald’s, Ken’s, and other places. And, yes, some of us are brave enough to eat cafeteria food!!? THIS is supposed to give you all your nutrients!! Dinner: F ' .aten at home usually between 5:00- 7:00 p.m. Mummy always has it brewing on the stoie. What Every Lancer Dreams Of Every teenager ' s dream is to get a car. From the time they pass Driver’s Ed., from the time they get their permit, from the time they actually hit the streets in their mom or dad’s vehicle .. alone ... does the teenager really express a desire to get a car that he can call his own. Many students have fulfilled their dream. When one looks at East’s parking lot, one can see the incredible differences of make and model that everyone has. Some people prefer small models, such as VW’s ... but these are only about 5% of the student car population. Many oth¬ ers choose a roomy model. Basically any thing with four wheels (no psychadelic paint or dented doors, thank you) seems to work. Still others decide to keep on saving for their cars. Is it worth it? ... sure. Just wait until 85-86 How To Occupy An Evening What does a Lancer do on week¬ ends? They have FUN!!! For instance: Games-Games are “the event”, and so are basketball games. Everyone goes to them! Parties: Parties are “the big thing” What ' s a weekend without one wild party?!! Movies: Yes, if there’s no games or parties the movies will do. (7:00 show¬ ings are reserved for Freshmen only.) Concerts: Music! Screaming! Dance! Every Lancer has his or her favorite group or star. Cruising: Driving around aimlessly trying to find one of the above. This is found often. Parents And Visitors 1 2) Ron Steinhardt came to East to campaign for State Representative. Even though many of the students can ' t even vote, he still came. This provides the students with an idea about who is running for a certain office and what they stand for. It also lets them see how campaigning takes place. This allows them to make up their own minds and by the time the next election comes up they’ll be able to make a good decision about who is best for the job. 3 4) The Pepsi Assembly was once again brought to the East campus. Each year it has a special theme and message which is given out to the students. The show is put on by a man who talks and explains the certain pic¬ tures that flash on a screen that stands be¬ hind him. This is a very good learning exper¬ ience. Come To Belleville East 1 2) The Belleville East counseling staff presented an informational college planning night for students and their par¬ ents. This took place on Thurs., Nov. 29 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The primary topics that were discussed were college admis¬ sions and financial aids. This allows the students and their parents to get answers to some of the perplexing questions they might have had about college entrance. 3) Here, Mr. Pr ince talks to some par¬ ents about their children at Open House. Open House takes place every year to let the parents of the students come in and get a first hand look at the campus and what goes on. It gives them a chance to talk to teachers and get opinions on how their children get along at school. Re¬ freshments were also provided up in the cafeteria. 31 Everyone knows that one of the busiest buildings in the whole school is the “A” building. Located at the front of the school this building is where all of the interactions between counselors, secre¬ taries, students, principals, parents and others take place. All the offices, except for the teachers’, are in this building. Also included is the nurse’s office and the library, which is on the second floor. This is a pretty big building and sometimes it seems as though it can actually swallow you up (as shown in these photographs). It seems like that especially when you re¬ ceive a pink slip that says one of the prin¬ cipals want to see you. That walk to “A” building can be one of the longest! Winter Blows East Away 1) During a snowfall climbing steps can be a dangerous adventure. 2) The janitors do their best to clear up the walks. 3) Students wonder how this mountain of snow will ever melt! 4) The snow ' s beauty comes out under the night lights 7) It still hasn ' t melted! After having a “green” holiday season people be¬ gan to wonder if Old Man Winter had forgotten to thrust snow upon us this year. Well, we soon found out he hadn’t. We got a very big snow storm that could suffice as enough snow for one year. Even though most every other school in the area was closed. East’s little soldiers marched right through the snow and came to school! It turned out to not be so bad (excluding the slips and slides and falls). The snow came and it melted. Compared to other years this winter ' s snow wasn ' t on the ground for long! The Children’s Play Featuring: Skungpoomery Nicholas-Alex McHugh Mrs. Wibble-Chrissie Kinsella Faz-Eddie Evans Twoo-Dave Appel Mr. Humbottom-Dana Clark Mrs. Hubottom-Tracy Arnold Ins. Snatchem-Laura Darner Sgt. Stuff-Linda Shaffer Bunkett-Ryan Robinson Clowns: Kristen Etzel, Allen Miller, Angel Bates, Liz Jahren, Kelly Hobbs SKUNGPOOMERY is a play about words; or rather about things and words that represent them. The main characters, Faz and Twoo (sort of Laurel and Hardy type) have gotten the idea that the language has lost its flavor, its zest and zoom. In addition, Eaz complains that not only have words lost their zip but there needs to be new things created to extend the meaning of his amazing new words. This renaming and creat¬ ing of newthings is played against a collage of action that brings to mind some of the old time slapstick comedy of the early movies of Laurel and Hardy, the Keystone cops and the Marx Brothers. Children of all levels enjoyed the play. The lower grades appreciated the clowns used and the broad action of the characters and the hu¬ morous situations they get in to. The upper grades also enjoyed the action, but they appre¬ ciated the new words used in the play. At any rate, this is what SKUNGPOOMERY is, the art of thinking of a new word and then finding out what it means. A Special Team Victory Players: (bottom row) C-Judi Schutzenhofer, Malcolm Lhols, Tami Rasch, Wayne Roth, Craig Huth, Larry Miller, Tod Cawvey, Jim Mcllanev-C, (second row) Tom Kish, Jeff Willman, John Cavins, Roh Balt and Cary Hayden.

They had three victories in the state tournament at Carmi which included: Tri County Murphysboro 28-19, Brownsville school of Carmi 42-32, and Kirk of Palatine 43-18. The team was coached by Judi Schutzenhofer, Jim McHaney, Jan Erdman, and Ann Crenshaw. The East cheerleaders also claimed the first place trophy at the tournament. Congratulations to everyone!! East Asks, “How Healthy Do You Think You Are?” Belleville East held the annual Health Fair on Thursday, March 7. It was set df) in the gym and included a variety of different kinds of booths, including one on vision acuity, blood pressure, height and weight, a venereal disease quiz board, drug abuse, CPR, nutrition and a demonstration of the Illinois State Police’s breath analizer. The fair’s coordinator, Mr. A1 Walston, said. “It gives them (the students) a chance to ask questions and to share knowledge, skills and positive thinking about health with their peers.’’ The school’s nurse, Ann Schaltenbrand. supports the annual event. “The Health Fair is a worthwhile project in student awareness. It brings many segments of the campus together for one project.’’ 1) The Health Fair used computers to teach students. 2) The V.D. Quiz Board gave students information about venereal diseases. 3) Video tapes were also used to inform. 4) Prevention of Drug Abuse was th highlight at this year’s Health Fair. 5) At the blood pressure station student’s learned how to take blood pressure and what their’s is. 6) Eye examinations were done. 7) Students check out the poster on “Using Medications Wisely.” Wavelength Flows Through East During the course of the year East had held many special assemblies, but the one that made the whole school roll off their seats with laughter was the Wave¬ length assembly. Wavelength is the name given to a group of five people who go to different schools and perform their comedy routine these people included: Jim Winter (president), Rachelle Richelieu, Paul Raci, Debbie Jansen, and Dean Edelson. Their act consisted of a group of improvisations such as a “feeling” orchestra. Each person had a feeling assigned to them by the audience. They would show this feeling, in their orchestra. They also had a skit on seniors discussing what they are going to do with their lives, one on a kindergarten class that just got a new student that was, by the way, from outer space, one on commercials, one on movie themes and others. If there was one assembly that really took Easy by surprise, it was this one. Everyone loved it and we hope we will see Wavelength come through again. 1985 ALL - SCHOOL VARIETY SHOW JPuttiri ©n If c KITZ ACTS 1) The Edge 2) The Kids Wanna Rock 3) Classical Guitar Solo 4) Brand New Day 5) Colour My World 6) Classical Guitar Solo 7) Friends 8) Comedy 9) Atomic Rockers 10) Hawaiian Dance “Let’s Go Out To the Lobby’ Intermission 11) One Night Stand 12) Jump For My Love 13) Polonaise in G Minor by Chopin 14) Fire and Baton Twirl 15) Voices from the Dark 16) Comedy 17) Baton Duet 18) A Little More Love 19) Kimala the Albino Ugandan Giant 20) Tillie the Twirler 21) For Women Only 22) Solo Dance 23) Destroyer Roland Isom as M.C. 38 Lancers Prepare For The Future During your junior and senior years in high school, one of the main concerns is college. Which college am I going to? What will I major in? How do I get a good score on the SAT and ACT tests? Many different kinds of information and preparations are given to juniors and seniors to help them get through this time of indecision and to help them make a good choice, which will affect the rest of their lives. For instance, picking out a college. Throughout 1984-85 Belleville East had many representatives from all sorts of colleges, schools and academies come and talk to interested students. They gave them important information like costs and requirements. This allowed the students to view all kinds of opportunities and, in turn, let them make the best decision that was right for them. Also, another worry is the entrance exams like the SAT and ACT. This year East had a preparoty class which helped students to do their best on these tests. These classes were taught by Mr. Talley twice a week before school. Any interested student could come. They practiced upon vacabulary, reading skills, and other things. East also held a college planning night which welcomed students along with their parents to come and get information about college. 1) A representative from a military academy talks to interested students about the school. 2) Mr. Taley is teaching students how to make a good score on the S.A.T. entrance exam. 3) The many different types of books available about college. 4) The Illinois State Scholars 5) Students try to keep awake at 7:45 in the preparation class for the S.A.T. exam. 1 This year’s spring musical was held on May 8, 9 and 10. It took place in B-100 and it contained a cast of eleven students. “The Me Nobody Knows” is a musical about street kids and their view on life. They express their feelings by putting them into songs. The musical turned out really great and congratula¬ tions to the whole cast.

Senioritis Takes Hold On The Class Of ’85 Senioritis. really we’ve all heard, but what does it Actually, senioritis can have many different meanings, depending on the individual. One day it might mean something and the next day another. One thing that is always the same, though, is the feeling of “What is going on with me?” One of the aspects of senioritis is wondering if graduation day will ever come. “When will I ever get out of here?” It is also asking yourself, “Do I really want to go to college?” Sure, college years are supposed to be the best years of our lives, but didn ' t they tell us that about high school Dealing with senioritis means dealing with uncertainty. The hardest question is, “W hat am I going to do with rest of my life?” Not quite so serious is, “What am I going to do this summer?” I think, though, that senioritis deals mainly with emotions. I guess you could call it a state of mind, confusion and reminiscing being at the top of the list. Senioritis is missing things before you ' ve even left. It’s realizing you can’t laugh at the cafeteria food anymore because you won ' t be around to eat it. This might have explained senioritis better for you, or you might have become more confused. Any ways, being a senior is so many things you can ' t understand is until you become one. i4i • All Types Of Lancer Personalities Belleville East ' s involved and, regretfully, uninvolved society includes various groups and cliques. These minigatherings represent the wide- ranged spectrum of the Lancer species, spanning from the burn-out to the S.O.C., Brains bring the library to life, jocks color the athletic fields, and beauties (strategically placed, of course) enhance the scenic East campus. Trouble-makers keep the dilligent assistant principals busy with fights, reports of cigarettes, and broken glass. The punk-new-wave tribe, a living herd of Christmas trees, parades through the halls and corridors shocking the traditional members of the student body and faculty. The wide array continues the tradition of the creek critters and calley marchers. Although the change of the student body through the years, one trait always remains the same—we ' re all East Lancers. This quality resides in our entire student body, giving us a sense of unity and alikeness. Can you match up each picture with its caption? a. b. c. d e. 1 . 1. The jocks and jockets 2.

This organization is open to all grades not just seniors. Model U.N. teaches a student not only about the country they represent but also about what really takes place in the real United Nations, located in New York. A student learns about problems that are current events or past occurences and then proposes a method of solving it in a resolution. After writing a resolution the student will attend a mock United Nations session at Mckendree College in Lebanon. These sessions are held in the fall and spring of each year. All students should participate in this organization. J.E.T.S. Computer Team The J.E.T.S. (Junior Engi¬ neering Technical Society) is a team at East. To be able to participate on this team, you must be sponsored by a faculty member in a particular depart¬ ment such as math, or English, etc. Members of this team take the following test or tests math, engineering, English, physics, and or chemistry. Each student takes a test for a subject he she is particularly good in and another test that they might do as well on. If a student does well in a local competition he she will then advance to a regional competition. This is also the same for a whole team, howev¬ er their placement is decided on by their total amount of points not an individual ' s score. (left-right) Oliver Bell. Julie Brueggeman, Ron Fisher, Carla Boeckman, Mike Mayer, Bryan Schohert, Bassam Abdul, Kirk Gromada, Scott Gass, Mantu Das, Yogish Patel, Terri Daniels The Computer team is an¬ other one of the many organi¬ zations at East. This is pri¬ marily for students who have a genuine interest in computers and do well on them. A person would probably do well if he she owned his her own computer but not necessarily. With the growing number of computers in the world, this team is a step ahead of many people. This team like every other team competes with local teams. These competitions are held on a local level with chance of advancement to oth¬ er competitions. 46 (left-right) Yogish Patel, Ron Fisher, Todd David, Greg Rotz Scholar Quiz: The Ultimate Trivia Team (front row: left to right) Denise Mott, Tracia Schuchman, Carla Boeckman, Robert Britan (second row: left to right) Terrie Daniels, Ron Fisher, Oliver Bell, Mark Bridges, Eric Mayes, Chris Perillo, Teresa Hellmann, Montu Das, Jennifer 1 hebus, and ogish Patel. The Scholar Quiz is a team made up of Belleville East students who are good at trivia and basically know something about everything. Even though there are a lot of people in this picture below, each team that goes to the tournaments is made up of four people. The same four people don’t compete all the time. Instead they are switched around so everyone will get a chance. The Scholar Quiz people meet on Monday and Wednesday for about an hour so they can practice up for the tournaments. Miss Jett is their sponsor who gets them all together. There is no age requirements and any high school student can try out for it. The questions that are asked are about anything such as history, english, science, etc. , and each student usually does better in one certain topic. Belle¬ ville East hosted one of these tournaments in April.

Kthan Rutter. Terri Daniels, Mike Beanes 48 Another Successful Year Of Victories Sophomores The Math team is something that only a select few can join. This team is composed of students who have ranked in the top ten percent of stu¬ dents taking this math test. There are many different categor¬ ies in which these students may par¬ ticipate. Some of these events are “two person,” “calculator team,” and also “eight-man team.” These students participate in lo¬ cal competitions which are held at various colleges such as Washington University, Carbondale and Font- bonne. This year they, did exceptionally well.

Banish that thought from your mind! The type I’m talking about is when a group of people gather together for a special purpose. Our illustrious school is gifted, and then some with many such organizations. There seems to be a club for everyone, no matter what your interests may be. 1. pencil-a thin stick of wood with lead in the middle. For those of you who have never seen one of these you should try it! You might even graduate soon. 2. N.H.S. Symbol-this is found prominently displayed by the main brains of the school. 3. camera-The most truthful item on the list. Often brings up the statement, “This cannot go in the yearbook! My hair was fried that day!” 4. chess board-A good player must always be ready to try out strategic moves when the mood hits them. 5. Gummy Bears-Holds your stomach over till lunch. Also an interesting Biology experiment when you leave it in water overnight. 6. sheet music-a sheet of paper with everything on it a singer needs, except, of course, a good voice. 7. script-What would our Thespian friends do without this? If you said nothing you were right!

Like other social and cultural clubs at East, the German Club was created to provide students with learning and fun through extracurricular activities. Unlike other social and cultural clubs at East, the German Club has experienced a rapid growth since its creation 17 years ago, making it, this year, the largest club on campus and one of the most stable financially. The more-than-100 members, who are not required to take German to join, have had the opportu¬ nity to participate in activities concerning the customs and culture of the German people. All cultural activities and other important topics are discussed bi-monthly at the general Club meeting (the sec¬ ond Tuesday of every month) open to all members and at the Executive Council meeting (the fourth Tuesday of ev¬ ery month) open to all officers and representatives. Cultur¬ al activities which have become traditional for the German Club include hayrides, the Christmas caroling party, the German Club dinner, and ice-skating. Special activities for the German Club range from going to Six Flags or seeing the Vienna Boys Choir to going swimming or having a coke-and-pretzel party. To raise money for the cultural and special activities, the German Club has a candy sa- leeach semester. The German Club would like to thank its sponser, Mr. Schoenebech, for whose time and effort the German Club is eternally indebted to.

The N.F.L., or Nation¬ al Forsenics League, is a society honoring outstanding speech contestants. To join, a person must be highly active in speech and drama. Inductions are held twice per year for the N.F.L., one at Christmas time and the other around Faster. The group meets about thirty times a year. Some of these meetings are included in speech contest trips, others are business meetings on campus, and still others are in¬ ductions usually held at area restaurants. Mr. Winslow, co-ordinator of the N.F.L., is well aware of the advantages this organi¬ zation offers, saying “N.F.L. prepares youth for leadership.

Membership is open to any girl or guy, athlete, manager, cheerleader. The members plan a Christmas party, rallies, a banquet, weekend retreats, and a nation¬ al conference in the summer. “The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is an organization that gives athletes the opportunity to gather together in fellowship and discuss the role that Christianity plays in their lives and in their athletics. It is alot of fun and I think every athlete should get involved.” ®ob Farmer, ® res - “Being in F.C.A. has been a great experience. I’ve made alot of super Christian friends, who I’ve learned alot from. It’s great to get their encouragement just when you need it most w Gail Otness, V. Pres. “To me, F.C.A. is a chance for athletes to get together and learn about God. It is a chance to learn about God’s word not only in church, but in school and at other people’s houses. One can also talk problems over with the group. He or she can relate to people mor e their age. F.C.A. is a wonderful way to show your faith in God.” Jim Boeschen, Sec.

Some of these include: the football and basketball games, parades, St. Clair Square, Downtown Belleville, and the Fairview Heights City Hall. The Squad is made up of 18 girls (7 seniors, 10 juniors, and 1 sophomore), who were selected through tryouts last spring. The members are Seniors: Kim Neuner, capt.; Julie Brueggeman, Christy Kelso, Lynette Boehne, Becky Moran, Sheila Seets, and Dawn Mank; Juniors: Susan Andes, Nicole LePere, Jane Pensoneau, Jamie McHaney, Meredith Strinni, Jody Rouch, Stacey Sievers, Susan VanDusen, Laura Phillips, and Joni Lutes; Sophomore: Chris Vlhavas.

All mem¬ bers of D.E.C.A. are in the D.E. program which is a program of coopera¬ tion between the business community and the public schools. There is something in it for everyone. It provides the student with a combination of school study and practical job training; it provides the businessman with capable, mature, careerminded employees. D.E. is available for high school students interested in entering the business world. D.E. students usually put in about 15 hours a week working for a cooperating business firm in the local community. The student is paid for the hours he works, and his experience serves as a “laboratory” in which he can practice the skills he learns in class. D.E. is a sound and economical solution to the problem of unemployment.

The National Honor Society meets at least once a month. Membership in the N.H.S. is an honor according to students, based upon scholarship, leader ¬ ship, character, and service, by the faculty at Belleville East. The National Honor Society holds a Departmental Awards assembly each year honoring the top five students in each department. They hold a reception for these honored students and parents after the assembly. Some members of the N.H.S. also tutor at other schools. mm hhbh ■Maui ®- D The Belleville East athlete is a distinctive figure on campus. Often referred to as “jocks”, these people set an example for the rest of the school to follow. The Belleville East jock can be either male or female and can be easily distinguished by the insignia on the back of his navy blue nylon jacket. Often involved in more than one sport, the jock ' s jacket will change in accordance with the seasons. The Belleville East athlete has to have determination and dedication. Belleville East athletes are an important part of the Belleville East design. 1) The hat- like the jacket, the hat is reminder to all that the wearer is a Belleville East athlete. 2) The uniform- worn in competition and usually it is too big or too small. 3) The equipment- the basic essentials that make sports what they are. 4) The knee pads- the true athlete owns two or three pairs. Bruised knees are definitely out. 5) The socks- after a game they can probably walk to the locker room by themselves. 6) The shoes- a must for all athletes. They must be exactly the right kind.

This is the ty pical scene of a Belleville East home football game, com¬ plete with fans. Most of the peo¬ ple who witness the games are students. But why do they attend the games? A majority of the students come to see their friends and cheer for their team. Peggy Cot¬ ter (junior) likes to be with her friends and have a good time. Cindy Isselhardt (frosh.) says, “A football game is a good chance to be with friends and show my brand new Lancer spirit.” Amber Nicholson (frosh.) adds, “And to check out the guys!” Kendra Fehner (junior) comes to root our team on to victory and watch the team in action. Mike Meyer (ju¬ nior) comes to help arouse enthu¬ siasm by playing in the band. Jer¬ emy Rosenstengel and Danny Schott (soph.) come, “to show support for the greatest team on earth- the Lancers!” Whatever the reason, football games are a great way to show school spirit, and if you don ' t care about that, they’re also a lot of fun! “You Have To Run As Hard As You Can ■ • • Coach Hays BELLEVILLE EAST CROSS COUNTRY-1984 SEASON EVENT VARSITY VARSITY BOYS GIRLS TRIAD INVITATIONAL MT.

Hays-A New Face In Cross Country Richard Hays has made a name for himself in Belleville East cross country as the new coach. This is his first attempt at coaching, since his schedule did not permit time until this year. Coach Hays teaches remedial English and social studies. Coach Hays has always been involved in sports. In high school. Hays lettered in all varsity sports and was the outstanding senior athlete. In college he played golf, and then played professional golf for four more years. Coach Hays thinks the pros¬ pects for East next year are very good. He says one thing runners have to learn is to run as hard as you can the entire distance. They also have to work on mental de¬ velopment. His first exposure to cross country was in 1982-83. He spent a lot of time with his friend Craig Virgin, and had developed an in¬ terest in cross country. Hays loves training and keep¬ ing in good shape. His goal is to motivate students to run not only during their high school career, but also throughout life. 1. ) On to Victory! 2. ) Coach Hays keeps the stats. 3. ) Tracy Hussman crosses the finish line after a grueling run. 1. ) The 1984 Volleyball Team: (1st row)-Denise Lugge, Dana Farley, Lisa Jones, Sharon Penn, Kim Moorleghen, Kim Faston (2nd row)- Coach Logsdon, Jody Geschwend, Karol Tiemann, Ka¬ tie Brauer, Angie Mount, Coach Stephenson. 2. ) Lancer ladies ready to spike.

The team ' s greatest moment oc¬ curred in the East St. Louis gym¬ nasium on Parents’ Night when the Lancers upset one of the area ' s strongest squads. The Fly¬ ers had lost only two games prior to the contest, and the Lancers became the first team to defeat them in two straight games. Individual awards include: Angie Mount.

Keith Nye The golf team this year was not too good. The team was very in¬ experienced. But we did play up to our potential. Golf takes up a lot of hard work and dedication. I played ev¬ ery day in the summer and prac¬ ticed every day. You just can’t go out and play. You have to prac¬ tice hard and learn how to con¬ centrate. You also have to play in a lot of competition to learn how to han¬ dle the pressure. I played in the biggest junior tournament in the world this summer. It was the Ju¬ nior World in San Diego, Cali¬ fornia. I had to qualify out of the state of Illinois. They took the five best players in the state to go to San Diego. They did that in every state, and also in Japan, Korea, South Africa, Spain, and other countries. I didn’t play very well because I wasn’t used to all that pressure. The tournament was the best ex¬ perience that anyone can have, because you are playing with the best golfers throughout the world. My greatest goal was to win the Illinois High School Cham¬ pionship. Last year I wasn’t a good enough nlaver lo win tho Championship, but this year I felt like I could win it. I ended up 19th in the state, and I played terribly. I wasn’t happy with the way I played but those things happen. My real goal was to get a golf scholarship and I did. I’ll be attending SIU- E. They have a good golf team. They are ranked 13th in the na¬ tion among Division II teams. So I did achieve my greatest goal and that’s all that counts.

Usually not much thought is devoted to shoes. Unless, of course, you are an athlete, and then shoes play a very important role in your athletic perfor¬ mance. Rick Dison, an employee at the “Foot Locker,” shared a few tips about athletic shoes with us. Dison suggested that it was a good idea for an inexperienced person, and even the experienced athlete, to buy his shoes at a specialized athletic shoe store due to the better quality shoes a specialized store offers. He stated that many high school students buy their ath¬ letic shoes at specialty stores such as the “Foot Locker.” Dison commented that different sports require different types of shoes. A tennis shoe, for instance, is built up on the sides and is cut wider in the toe box. A running shoe, on the other hand, is not built up on the sides for better flexi¬ bility. Running shoes often have carbon rubber soles so they wear better. The bas¬ ketball shoe is similar to the tennis shoe. Basketball shoes have rubber soles for better traction and are made out of leath¬ er. The leather, Dison stated, is for better ankle support and leather holds up better than other materials. So if you’re confused about which shoes are right for your sport, guys like Mr. Dison are always around to offer some sound advice and will help make your choice a lot easier. t Gins A Season Of Hard Work Basketball 1. ) The 1985 Girls ' Basketball team: (kneel¬ ing)- Sharon Penn, Susie Becherer, Lisa Jones, Valerie Nesler, and Kelly Knolhoff.

Hard work during the off season that con¬ tinues as the season begins is what makes the Belleville East athletes perform as well as they do. The athletes here at East push themselves to work hard in the off-season, so they can be the best they can be. Their desire to be the best is so strong that they’re willing to take the sweat that goes with being 1. They’re willing to fight the pain and soreness they get. And they’re willing to defend their position as num¬ ber one to anyone or any team that dares to challenge them. But all this isn’t accom¬ plished over night, nor is it ac¬ complished all alone. The East athletes have people called coached to guide them through their training. The coaches put their time and effort into helping the athlete become as good as he or she wants to be. No one can just tell an athlete that they‘re good and expect them to perform. The athlete must believe it and work for it themselves. Only by the ath¬ lete being physically and men¬ tally strong will he or she be¬ come 1.

(2) The glasses signify a touch of importance. (3) The wrinkles show how her wisdom has helped many kids. (4) Her grade book is always at hand with pink slips ready to give out if needed. (5) Her dress mode shows her conservative side. The Faculty this year has been working very hard in getting students through their courses. They have been very understanding, when a student says “I am having trouble” they are always willing to help us out. Besides just helping us out, they teach us how to help ourselves. They make us think and make our own decisions, which is a skill that is needed if we are to succeed on our own someday. Every school, including Belleville East, has their idea of what a typical high school teacher looks like. Here is our example. Even though this particular teacher is a woman, she represents our idea of what a Lancer teacher should be. Retirement (2) Leroy Kirsch Mr. Kirsch has been teaching here at East since it opened - 19 years. After retiring he plans to relax and take it easy. Some hobbies that Mr. Kirsch enjoys are: Gardening, working with wood, and fixing things around the house. Mr. Kirsch has enjoyed seeing his former students go into music as a career opportunity such as a musician or teacher. “Everyone wants to dance, but no one wants to pay the fiddler.” (1) Erwin Dilday Mr. Dilday has been teaching at East for 19 years. He has several things in mind to do after his re¬ tirement. One of his hobbies is fol¬ lowing the stock market.

After re¬ tiring he plans to become a “great white fisherman.” He has many hobbies in mind to do, such as: build houses, hunt, fish, and restore old automobiles. “Pursuit of the truth is much more meaningfull than pursuit of the dollar, but they are alike in the great importance of what you do with them once acquired.” Mr. K.L. Miller, Superintendent Retires After 18 Yrs. Of Service To District 201 As the 1984-85 school year comes to an end, Mr. Miller, Superintendent of District 201, is also going to retire at the end of this school year. Mr. Miller has been with District 201 for 18 years. He was Principal of Belleville Town¬ ship High School West before he be¬ came Superintendent. Mr. Miller prepared for this posi¬ tion by going to college for four years, some of the colleges that he had at¬ tended were: Knox College; Bachelors Degree, Western Illinois University; Masters Degree, and University of Illi¬ nois; Post Graduate. Mr. Miller be¬ longs to alot of different organizations such as the following: Member of Phi Delta Kappa, Educational Fraternity; Life Member of Phi Signa Kappa So¬ cial Fraternity; Chairman of Advisory Council for Education of Handicapped Children-Illinois Office of Education; Advisory Council-St. Elizabeth Hospi¬ tal, Belleville. Mr. Miller ' s favorite activities are water skiing, reading, refinishing fur¬ niture, yardwork and gardening. Mr. Miller has three children which one is a Foreign Exchange Student, A.F.S., from Switzerland. Dr. John R. Dosier, presently the assistant superintendent, has been ap¬ pointed by the Board of Education to carrying out the leadership duties of superintendent effective July 1, 1985. Mrs. June Cox, president of the Board of Education, recently stated, “District 201 is fortunate to name one so well qualified to assume the duties of the superintendency.” Dr. Dosier assumed the assistant su¬ perintendent ' s role in 1970. In addition, he is involved in count¬ less activities with various area civic and educational organizations, very similar to the distinguished civic ca¬ reer Mr. Miller has developed. Mr. Miller agreed by commenting, “I see no problem in the transition of administration, as long as we have the continued community support that we have enjoyed.” As Mr. Miller finishes his business on the phone, Mr. Curtis, Principal of District 201 at East, plans his thoughts thoroughly on the next topic to be discussed. Mr. Miller sits in the Conference Room looking over notes before an important Conference Meeting. 124 Board Of Education Rob Nebgen, Edqrd Burris, Charles Heller, Gary I).

Remedial Special Education Remedial Education is a course that is in¬ tended to correct study babbits or reading hab- bits. Their are many courses that do just that. Voc. English is highly individualized and de¬ signed to begin giving the student a practical use of English. In Civics 1-2, the EMH student will pass the required tests of the United States Constitution and the Illinois Constitution for graduation. They will also study about local government and local laws.

There are 3 main functions of the Remedial Edu¬ cation department. The first function is to help students who otherwise could not function correctly in a normal classroom setting. The second function is to teach the trainable mentally handicapped students. These students come to school to work under constant supervision. The Remedial Education Department focuses on gearing these students to work successfully in the community in which they live. The third function of the department is to help the autistic student. (1) As Mrs. Schutzenhofer points out an important matter, the students listen eagerly. (2) Mr. Cattaneo discusses a problem with one of his students 148 Social Studies Not Pictured Nancy C oates Terry Cryder Dan Bainter Dennis Bechtold Terry Blaise John Burke Social Studies consists of several courses ranging from civics 1-2 to Eco¬ nomics 7-8. Civics 1-2 is an introduc¬ tion course to all other Social Studies courses. In a class such as World Ge¬ ography, the student will gain exten¬ sive knowledge of the Uniteo States and all other regions of the world. American Studies is a two-period course combining American History and American Literature. The Social Studies department also provides mini courses in the fall, such as Civil War, which is in-depth study of the back¬ ground and causes of the most tragic event in our history. As well as fall courses their are also spring semester courses. The United States At War is a course designed to study the mfluence and actions of the military in Ameri¬ can life. There are many courses in the Social Studies department. You can al¬ ways find one that can be of interest to you. (1) Mrs. Coates pronounces the lan¬ guage clearly! (2) Mr. Bainter gives up!

(4) Mr. Heiligenstein demonstrates the shape of a globe to his class! 150 Social Studies Mr. Centsch Goes to Russia. Mr. Centsch had the privilege to spend a week in the Soviet Union in February. The trip was described as an educational seminar and included 2 hour sessions with college educators and a half day in a Moscow secondary school. At Moscow School 49 they visited second grade classes studying English and also visited other classes. When students would stand at the side of their desks and then give the American visitors small pins, drawings, and other items which they had made. The pins had been provided by the government. Although the school had been built in 1936, it seemed much older because of the very drab architectural style used in constructing the building. Stu¬ dents attend this school from age 7 to age 17, unless they drop out at 15 to take jobs. Next year this school will also have a 6 year old students as all schooling in the Soviet Union is being extended by 1 year. Prior to entering this school students attend nursery school and then kindergarten. The students of School 49 also pro¬ vided entertainment for about an hour. This included a puppet show, ballet, several songs and some instrumental numbers. The performances were well done; the English was memorized and the students rarely showed any emo¬ tion. Most Soviet citizens do not smile or show any other type of facial ex¬ pression. “Look ahead and prepare or look back and regret.” Freeman Sorrell “Education is a great waterway, it allows us to grow and flow in a national way.” Keith A. Spindler (1) Mr. Vitek waits for his classes response! (2) Mr. Sorrell makes sure he gets it back today! (3) Mr. Vitek laughs as the class asks to see their grade! Phyllis Smith Freeman Sorrell Keith Spindler Robert Vitek 151 Library Learning Center Mary Jo Cullen Clauser Bart low Barbara Molitoris The Learning Center and Library provide several items in helping stu¬ dents with things such as term papers, homework, reading assignments, and for entertainment. Students can come familiar with visual aids, computers, card catalogs, and reference materials. (1) Students are busily doing their homework. (2) Mary Jo Bartlow is busily filing cards. (3) A class sits enthralled in an audio-visual production. 152 Supportive Staff Secretaries are very helpful in keeping our school “up-to-date” and organized. So, as you can see the secretaries here at Belleville East are always here to try and help us out on those days when we don ' t know what to do or to help us to get what we need when we need it. A secretary is also a big help not only to us but to other secretaries and to people who are here, such as: Assistant Principals, and the Principal. They help keep them in¬ formed about the students, to keep a cal¬ endar of the up-coming events, and to schedule their important staff meetings that we all like especially when the stu¬ dents at Belleville East get off school. The custodians are like the “unseen” of East. They keep our campus really looking nice. There always there to un¬ jam a locker. 1) Blanche Hueting Shari Marks Pat Bertsch Carol Battoe Ruth Grandcolas Laverne Elser Judy Rickey Alice Twenhoufel Not Pictured: Joyce Taylor Kathy Sliment Lori Robinson 2) Judy Rickey selects an appropriate pen. 3) “Smile Dan Laskowski, your on Cand id Camera.“ 4) Gene Lopez (Chief Engineer) Roberts McMillian (engineer) Custodians Danin Weatherford, Frank Gedda, Monroe Duco, Harold Steiner, Mary Wiley, George Wiesliaar, James Averbeck, Kenneth Ross, Dennis Klein, Wesley Senzel, Wayne Beck¬ man, Wayne Bueller, Allen Fisk, Kenneth Simmonds, Eliza Powers, Cletus Hoercher, Fred Cresson, Larry Haas, Jeanette Mueller, Joe Wessol, I)a id Hippard, Christ Lehr, John Mitchem. Seniors Yep, this is a Senior! The Seniors of 85 are easily distinguishable from other campus members by how they act and what they tote around with them. This particular Senior has done quite a lot. PPO, a phantom, class volleyball star, and she even found time to graduate! Here are some helpful explanations concerning this particular East (loud and proud!) Senior’s paraphernalia: 1. Cap (known as mortarboards to the more intellectual types)- although being used as a status symbol in the illustration, these traditional caps are used as frisbees at the end of ceremonies at graduation. 2. This mask is often associated with the Lone Ranger in the outside world, but to us at East, it is a symbol of the Phantoms, but especially of Seniors. (The words “Phantoms” and “Seniors” are synonomous.) 3 4. Tape and toilet paper are the tools of the Phantoms and yet another Senior symbol. Not only can their artistry be found on their clothing, but on certain days at East it can be found all over campus. 5. Many Seniors have a big decision to make, namely: “Where do I want to go to college?” College catalogs are carried around by Seniors to make other people think they have their future all planned out (but we know better). 6. During Loyalty Week, many Senior girls participate in the Powderpuff Olympics. This is the reason she is smiling — her team won. SENIORS We all start out at East as freshman, even though we all don ' t like to admit it. But the years go by quickly and soon you are on the top rung of the ladder ... a senior! Many changes take place from the time you start high school to the time you gra¬ duate. As a freshman, you weren’t used to this new way of life with the large campus, and all the new stu¬ dents and teachers. What makes a freshman stand out so much, though, is the great effort that is made in trying to fit in. By the time we all be¬ came sophomores, we were used to East and we were no longer the babies of the campus. Sophomore year was the year to have fun, because we had nothing to worry about. When junior year rolled around the SAT’s (Scholas¬ tic Aptitude Tests) came with it, and so did planning for the future. A lot of us were getting jobs by now; so there wasn’t much time for goof¬ ing off. Well, senior year is here and it will be gone sooner than we think; with it will go all of our high school days. But, it’s not the end . . it’s just the beginning. We will all go on to meet new friends and have more good times, but we will always look back upon our days at Belleville East with fond nostalgia. 155 Basam Abdul Hadi-Bas- ketball NHS, Phantom, German Club Peggv Agers- Float, MB, Phantom, Prom.

The senior officers were kept very busy this year work¬ ing on different items like Loyalty Week. Robyn Schneider said that, “Winning the First prize on our float made us feel great and it really rewarded our hard work that we did on it.” During the be¬ ginning of 1985 the officers were working on getting the senior T-shirts ready. These T-shirts have every seniors name printed on them and they are sold towards the end of the year. They also got together the senior gift to the school which will be presented at the graduation ceremony. (from bottom) Monica Mohr. Robyn Schneider, kerrie Tyler, Tami Trover Juniors The junior class officers are as follows: Ann Sullivan- pres., Mary Dunn- vice pres., Denise Hott- secretary, and Peggy Cotter- treasurer. Being a junior class officer takes alot of imagination and especially alot of organiza¬ tion. They have to put together some of the most important activities that go on at East, like Loyalty Week and their float. They felt that the junior class had the best float and should have been judged bet¬ ter. One of the biggest activi¬ ties that they had to put to¬ gether was the prom. This was very hard for them because they didn ' t know how to do it and they had to get help from others. Mary Dunn said that, “The hardest thing to do is to learn how to get organized and make sure we don ' t forget any¬ thing.’’ 198 (from left to right) Mary Dunn, Ann Sullivan, Denise Hott (not pictured) Peggy Cotter Of 1985 Sophomores (front row) Laura Barret, Wendy Smith (back row) Wally Funk, Rick Barret Freshmen The freshmen class officers this year were: Terri Gesch- wend- pres., Carla Cassulo - vice pres., Chrissie Keeling - secretary, and Tracy Peter¬ son- treasurer. This year the freshmen also worked on their foat for Loya- lyty Week. Even though it was their first time they did a good job on it. They also helped to plan this year ' s dances, includ¬ ing the Christmas dance and the Thanksgiving dance. They also helped deliver the Christ¬ mas messages. (front row) Tracy Peterson, Kris Keeling (back row) Carla Cassulo, Terri Geschwend This year’s sophomore offi¬ cers were: Rick Barret- pres., Laura Barret- vice pres., Wal¬ ly Funk- secretary, and Wendy Smith- treasurer. The sophomore officers put in alot of effort this year to get everything organized. They worked on putting their float together for Loyalty Week. As Wendy Smith put it, “Putting the float together took alot of time because our whole class was split on the idea, so com¬ ing up with an agreement was very hard.” Also, along with the rest of the class, they were very proud in presenting to the school the flags from the dif¬ ferent cities and towns. The officers were also happy be¬ cause their class had the long¬ est spirit chain. It was the one thing that the whole class pulled together on. Dwinmnin anMBMt 1. Bags under eyes come from the late-night jobs. 2. A junior has many no. 2 pencils left over from the PSAT test-A test he’s sure he failed. 3. The drivers license. A junior is most proud of them. I got mine! 4. Books that a junior has include history and helpful test-taking books. 5. Money. The pay from all those long work hours. 6. The class ring, the ultimate symbol of a junior. 7. Car keys, usually from mom ' s car. 8. McDonald’s bag, the souvenier of daring off-campus adventures. Juniors are the unique link between under and upperclassmen. In these paragraphs we shall try to explain more of what goes on in a junior’s mind. The majority of juniors are age 16. They mostly drive to school or have a friend drive them. The average junior spends a lot of time on the phone and listening to the radio. 2-3 hours a night are spent on Alex Bell’s invention, usually while listening to the radio. Most junior radio dials are on 106.5 KWK. Juniors are most likely to be caught on weekends doing one of the following: (in order) partying, at games, going out with friends, working, or at the movies. The movies that they’d most like to see are: Purple Rain, Star Wars, Bachelor Party, Footloose, Karate Kid, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Fast Times, and Animal House. When a junior isn’t on the phone or partying, they can be found watching t.v. Some of the favorites are: Dynasty, Cheers, soap operas. Family Ties, MTV, Miami Vice, and the old-time favorite. Leave it to Beaver. The majority of juniors named Mr. Boyles and Mr. Asbury as their favorite teacher. But when asked, most said “Are there any?” JUNIOR SAY: I don’t care- I’m a junior! . • Jane Abegg Sheila Agan Kent Ahlers Derek Allard Tara Anderson Susan Andes Dan Angenend Mark Appel Heather Argue Teresa Auhuschon Wendi Barnahy Brooke Barnicoat Beth Barrier Jan Bauer Laurie Bauman Sean Becker Shirlev Behrman Rick Bell Marie Benetidez Andrea Be irt Cary Biduell Bill Biekert John Bigalke Sandy Bitters Juniors 201 Tom Biver Todd Black Grant Blaies Billy Blue Dan Bogner Rick Bohn Tammy Bo a Allan Brannam Lee Branstetter Katie Brauer Ste e Bright Greta Brinkerhoff Gretchen Brinkerhoff Keli Broderick Barbara Brown Jeff Brown Mike Brown Darrell Brueggemann Herb Brydon Chester Cagas Becky Callahan Susan Campos Kiann Cantwell No Pictured: Gregory Bridges l.isa Bridges l int Buneta I aura Burrow 202 Juniors Paula Carman Julie Cason Chris Cassulo Tod Cawvey Julia Chaney Darren Chapman Eric Chiarella John Chitty Libbv Cich Bill Clark Melinda Clark Sean Clark Gary Cline Elizabeth Cobb Kendra Coe Craig Coelho Lesa Cole Cathleen Collins Julie Conrath Jennifer Cook Peggy Cotter Mandy Couch Not Pictured: Bonnie f athers I d C hilders Ste e Clark C harity C onners Rick C ' hambars ke in Cissell Brian C ompton Amy Coon Juniors 203 Ann Crenshaw Tracy Dahloff Michael Dalman Laura Darner Erica Dauer Angie Dam Chris Davis Laura Deason Bill Deering Annette Denny Noelle Depper Dan Dermody Tim Derstine Dawn Do Vore Jenny Diener Amy Dierks Doug Dietz Vicki Dinges Jeff Donato Glenn Donohoe Shelly Dougan Patrick Doyle Mark Drury 204 Juniors Craig Dumstorff Traci Dumstorff Mary Dunn Steve Dunning CJ Easton Kim Easton Jon Ecker Robert Edrington Mike Ehmke Matt Eichholz Tim Eiserle Mike Ernst Lynae Eskevv Kristen Etzel Robb Evven Dana Farley April Faulk Dina Fehner Kendra Fehner Mark Feld Kelly Feurer Tracey Fields Kevin Finster William Firestone Juniors 205 Jackie FirnkeS Tammy Fischer Lora Fitzgerald Matt Fitzgerald Vicki Fletcher Karin Foley Christina Follmer Ed Foppe Rosalind Ford Pam Fowler Bruce Gagliolo Linda Gammage Mike Gantner Diane Garret Scott Gass Da id Gerstner Jodie Geschwend Angie Giger Sue Gilmer Deidra Grider Jodie Grimming Julie Grimming Jayne Gruberman Jeff Gruberman Bonnie Gudmestad 206 Juniors Not Pictured: Ricky Haines Mark Harris Diane Headrick Ken Hardwick Mike Haywood Eric Cudmestad Kim Maas Thao Haas Rebecca Hackman Keun Haggarty Cindy Haggarty Daniel Hall Brian Hamilton Lisa Hamilton Matt Hamilton Dean Hanley James Manner Laurie Hanradt Shelly Harders Matt Harris Bob Harter Bill Hawanchak Lori Hawthorne Ted Helfrich Teresa Hellmann Veronica Henderson Juniors 207 C arrie Henschel Jeff Hesker Bill Hodge Mike Hoehner Scott Holdener Lori Holeman Pam Holifield Ke in Hollansworth Keith Hollansworth Tami Horn Pegg Hornacek Carl Hott Denise Hott Candy Hubbard Tim Hymer Jeff Hunter Scott Hull Allen Hughey Pam Huesman Lori Isselhardt C hris Jackson John Jakob 208 Juniors Joe Jaskot Jay Joergensen Christine Johnson Chris Johnson Laurie Johnson Tim Jouett Elsa kamiel Joe kassehaum Jill kaufmann Don keeling kerry keenan Clare kernan Nicole kehrer James kennedy Lyle kern Christy king Chrissie kinsella Brian kirsch Doug kissel Nathan kitchen Michael kloess Phillip klohr Steve knoehel Mike koehler Darren koester Not Pictured: Mark Johnson Darrel Jorden flare kernan Andy Knipp Amy Jones Susan Karban Scott Kilzer Mark Koehler Juniors 209 Jeff Kohlmeier Lisa Kohlmeier Kris Kolb Phil Kolocotronis Jim Korves Doug Kraus Ron Krause Colin Kricensky Gene Krummrich Terri Krummrich Lisa Kugler Michelle Kuhn Stacy Kujawa Tracy Kujawa Sandy LaBlance Susan LaGrange Sam Lance Lisa Laramore Randy Lauf Laura Lau Quang Le Larry LeCompte John Lehr Brian Leonard Nicole LePere Not Pictured: Mark Kruta Gary Laing 210 Juniors Chris Leveling Peter Liefer David Lipe Terry Lipe Ann Little Jeff Littlejohn Rich Lockwood Pam Luehder Frank Lunn Joni Lutes Tina Luzio Chuck Mahoney Kris Maibes Robb Mank Erica Maschmeyer Scott Massie Daniel May Mike Mayer Margaret McCarthy Melissa McFadden Dean McGinnis Jamie McHaney Keith McNelly John McPherson Andy McRoberts Juniors 211 Michele Medley Tim Meehling Joe Meise Kelli Messick Marla Millonas Angela Mitchell Karen Mizerany Angela Munie Lisa Moore Rich Moore Tammy Moore Tracy Moser Angie Mount Jeff Muelchil Jeff Mueller Melissa Muir Denise Mushill Jeff Myers Michelle Myers Rob Nabb Mike Nesbit Melissa Nieser Jeff Nolte 212 Juniors Debbie Noonan Jennifer Noonan Tim Nugent Mark Ogden Mike Olson Gail Otness Ribon Owens Dana Pahlman Steve Palucci Richard Paris Chou-Hsiao Parson Cindy Pellman Jane Pensoneau Beth Perez Chris Perillo Bob Peters Lisa Peterson Laura Phillips Cliff Pierce Mark Pierce Juniors 213 Dawn Pitchford Bonita Powers Craig Price Dale Prince Angi Puckett Randy Pusczak Carl Quayle Jennifer Racener Scott Racer Mary Rafferty Mike Raney Carri Rataj Karen Ray Nancy Real Angela Reheis Rhonda Reifschneider Leonard Reilmann Caroline Reinhardt Jennifer Renn Mike Reno 214 Juniors No!

Sophomores 1. A turned up collar is one of the requirements for the well-dressed sophomore. 2. Another accessory necessity is a beaded necklace. It’s so much fun when they break during class. 3. Books that sophomores carry are geometry and biology. 4. Another fact of sophomore dress is rolled up pants cuffs. We know it’s the style, but 5. Many sophomores have just gotten their permits. Watch out licensed drivers! Sophomores are a confident class because they have finally gotten rid of the freshman stigma. They treat their freshman counterparts like they escaped from the Planet of the Apes. They are able to do all of this without seemingly remembering that they were freshman a few short months ago. The sophomore guys seem to not have as much activities as their junior and freshman friends. On the other hand, sophomore girls seem to be doing everything. They make up most of the cheerleading squad, and filled more blanks on the survey for activities. When sophomores aren’t doing school activities, they are on the phone four or more hours or watching t.v. While doing homework, they listen to KWK, FM 106.5. Other after school and weekend time is spent at games or at McDonalds. Sophomore’s favorite movies include Purple Rain, Karate Kid, and Empire Strikes Back. Their favorite teacher is Mr. Dunn.

Sophomore year I became a lot more involved in school activi¬ ties because I felt a lot more confident. I wish now that I would have been more involved last year. I can ' t believe all of the speeches that I have to do! I also thought Biology would be a lot more interesting. Who cares about the sexual parts of a flower?

Do you pay for insurance and gas? Have you ever wondered what is the favorite food or radio station of Belle¬ ville East? Well, so did the yearbook staff. A survey was held having an equal amount of students from each class. The following statistics show a certain number of people’s opinions. They do not represent the entire stu¬ dent body. The survey contained many ques¬ tions such as do you own a car?, what is your favorite food?, what is your favor¬ ite kind of music?, do you actually eat school food?, what is your favorite or least favorite school food?, how much t.v. (hours) do you watch?, etc. The following answers were pro¬ duced from these questions: Freshmen everywhere they go. aype they are afraid that someone will break into neir locker. 4. Some freshmen bring their own lunches to school. 5. Gym bags are a necessity for carrying excess books. 1. Most freshmen wear a nervous, please-don’t-pick-on- me smile on their face. 2. Freshmen are the only class that wears their Bel ttfHle East P.E. shirts. 3 Treshmen carry their books w almost Freshmen seem to always be heralded as the low-life of high school. They seem to always get the raw end of the deal. This may be true! Since freshmen haven ' t had as much experience with Belleville East and upperclassmen, they often come off as being stupid and unknowing. By the end of the year, though, they feel as though they can truly be a part of everything and move up to becoming a sophomore, v Your typical freshman seems to find Miimself on the bus a lot. This is his main source of transportation to and from school. After school they are on the telephone for at least two hours a day. The radio station most favored by our freshmen friends is KWK. The favored places for a fre shmen to p on weekends is to go to a game, or movies. Freshmen’s favorite movies include Purple Rain, Red Dawn, Muppet movies, and Karate Kid. Favorite t.v. shows are: Knots Landing, Young and the Restless, and Webster. Their favorite teacher seems to be Mr. Heiligenstein. FRESHMAN SAY: WHO? WHAT? WHERE?

W e have had the most spirit. (We have the spirit stick to show it) Our class has pulled together to get the Various Jobs done like our float (which we got first on) and phantoming. Always remember our class and the good times we all have had. After ail, “We’re the BEST We’re Alive Y our class W e’re the class of 85!” Treasurer Rehekah the Munchkin, It won ' t he the same here without our big sister to show us the way to McDonalds, which classes to avoid, and how to get along in general. It won ' t be the same here without you mooching lunch money from us, hogging the telephone all night, and wearing our clothes before we have the chance to wear them. It ' s been nice having you here. We will miss you. Jen and Jo My dearest John, You’ve made my senior year the best! Together we have made many great memories and I know there will be many more to come.

I could not have asked for a better listener when I needed one the most, and you were certainly always there when I needed you. I love you, John, and I will till the end of time!

Autographs H fell,what do you have to say? 292 _ Eighteen typical accessories that no L ancer without C ZL — YOUR OFFICIAL EAST SURVIVAL KIT 1. ID- Proof that you exist at Belleville East. Second only to the credit card. 2. Curling Iron- An essential for the girls after P.E., but if it’s raining or you got up late, the end of history is O.K. too. 3. Brush (substitutable for comb if you are a guy) — 80% of the girls at East cease to exist without their brush. Most often in use at the last five minutes in class, right after the makeup has been applied. Boys, on the other hand, are armed with a comb at all times, and use it .. . whenever time permits. 4. Black Address Book- (get this if nothing else)- A guy without his little black book is like a sea without water, a bird without wings ... 5. Notebook- primarily used for your writing assign¬ ments, but, as we all know, it’s also useful for doo¬ dling in while plagued with boredom in class. 6. Pen- the pen is most commonly used for your essays and notes, but you sometimes see their inkblots all over your desk, which some Rorshach-happy nut from Psychology left behind — watch where you set down those papers!! 7. Pencil- used for Algebra and Geometry home¬ work, but it is also used for making more detailed pictures on your desk along with inkblots. 8. Algebra Book- the Algebra book’s most obvious use is for teaching algebra and providing assignments to do. While trying to do assignments, some students find it makes a good pillow. It has other uses, like ..., um, acting as an umbrella in the rain! Or per¬ haps kindling for the fire! (After it has been used, of course.) 9. Laureate (school newspaper)-When the newspa¬ per comes out, you can always find the Laureate staff. They are the ones loaded down with tons of newspaper, trying to unload them onto you for 20£. 10. Jacket- Yes, when you enter high school, you feel an obligatory tug to get an East jacket. Go ahead, everyone else does. 11. Handbook- An item handed to you in one of your English classes at the beginning of the year contain¬ ing the sacred commandments of Belleville East (usually found at the bottom of everyone’s locker.) 12. Shoes- typical Lancer shoes: never seen with socks and worn all year round. 13. Phantom Mask- Only essential to bankrobbers, masqueraders ... or seniors who wish to become phantoms, that insidious group who wreak havok upon the East campus by “decorating” with toilet paper and masking tape during Loyalty Week. They cover their faces so they can’t tell who taped up that freaky comment of David Letterman’s, or who loves such-and-such ... you get the idea. 14. Tape- used by students to post up signs, letters, etc., while teachers think it could be more wisely used on students’ mouths. 15. Lock- The lock is used for protecting items that you don’t want stolen, such as clothes, books, and other personal items. Then you have your locker combination (most of the numbers unreadable) which usually takes the poor freshmen ten times be¬ fore they can even get it open. 16. Lancer schedule- If you don’t know what to do on a Friday (hard to believe, but some people don’t), just pick up your Lancer schedule and attend a game in your local area: B.T.H.S. West. 17. Toilet paper A major item that has many uses. It can be used to decorate our school, get back at your favorite teacher’s trees, blowing your nose etc. (comes in a variety of colors and florals) 18. The Belleville East Letter- The East school letter is usually sewed on the sweaters or jackets of jocks or preps. This “B” is a prestigous symbol for them to show off to their girlfriends or boyfriends. wmm Class of ' 85: you survived it all from freshman dilemmas to senioritis. Now you have been promoted to a freshman. BELLEVILLE EAST FIGHT SONG On you LANCERS, on you LANCERS On to VICTORY! We will stand with heart and Hand behind you Belleville East Rah! Rah! Rah!
