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.

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

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.
