y Week came to East early this year October 15 through October 18. Loy alty Week’s theme was Back In Time”, Tuesday morning opened Loyalty Week with an assembly, with the swing choir and band as entertainment. The queen candidates and escorts were introduced to the student body. Senior girls cheered for their powder puff teams. This year during Loyalty Week, East became a great melting pot of fashion. Dur¬ ing this event the style-con • scious crowds searched their closets (and mom and dad’s) apparel to show their school spirit in for the following dress-up days: 1) Back in Time 2) Beach Day 3) Mas¬ querade Day 4) Lancer Blue Day. Even with Loyalty Week only being four days this year, the Lancers showed no signs of being spiritless. During the week, flower children were reborn and greased hair returned. Some students wore the lou¬ dest Hawaiian shirts they could find while others roamed around in sheets and Ivy. Some guys even donned dresses for a day, which was to have caused prob¬ lems with roll-taking. ..I (below left) The swing choir entertains East with some I Mike groovy music.
