Idealists . .. fool- ish enough to throw caution to the winds .. have ad- vanced mankind and have enriched the world -Emma Goldman Were we once freshmen? As difficult as it is to comprehend, the joys of being a senior were once the agonies of being a freshman. We awoke that first morning wondering what to expect. Would we catch our buses on time? How would we find our way around that huge place? We went to the freshman orientation during the summer, but it did little to quell our anxieties about East. Frightened as we were, our fears were subdued when we grabbed our new notebooks, put on our fall clothes, and looked forward to seeing our friends from Beck and Heritage. Some of us started the day at 8:00 with the upperclassmen, while the rest had late schedule and began the day after second period. On that first day, we arrived in the cafeteria, received our schedules, and start- ed our journey through East. Where’s B-wing? Why can’t I get past C-wing intersection?” We were very confused on that opening day, but as each period passed, we got used to

East and became more confident about our surroundings. However, just when the frenzied pace of the start of the year was ending. Spirit Week was upon us. More crazi- ness!!! Tricycle races, tug of wars, and pie eating contests captured our imagination and we soon became caught up with Spirit Week fever. We selected a preppy theme and decorated the halls accordingly. Although the seniors al- ways won at the end of the week and tradition was against us, we tried our hardest to win. On the final day, we wore red and white while we attempted to out-yell the other classes at the pep rally. It was during this time that we started to have pride in our class. We were no longer from Beck or Heritage; we were from East! After the amazing Spirit Week festivities, our class elections were held and we chose Warren Moliken as president, Jenny Mitchell as vice president, Sue Cornille as secretary, and Alicia Jacob- sen as treasurer. We placed our faith in them because we wanted the Class of ’86 to be the best that every entered East. As fall slipped into winter, we wore our preppy sweaters and docksides (aligators and all). We were en- grossed in MTV and loved to watch Dynasty on Wednes- day and Cheers on Thursday. In school, we joined clubs, marching band, and sports. We struggled through proofs in Geometry, read The Odyssey and Romeo and Juliet in English, and somehow managed to get through QPS and Environmental Geology and Management. Those who were on early schedule had the same benefits as upper- classmen, while those with late schedule found it a mixed blessing. We could sleep late, but getting out at 4:10 meant missing club meetings as well as General Hospital. The year progressed and after winter break we looked forward to warmer weather. However, our hopes were dashed when a February storm hit us with two feet of snow. We missed school that Friday, but made it back that following Mon- day to collect our Valentine Day carnations. When spring finally arrived we welcomed the warm temperatures and patiently awaited summer vacation. We cheered the first Knowledge Bowl team on to victory and celebrated the Sixers NBA championship. Music influenced us as we listened to Michael Jackson and ripped our sweatshirts to achieve that perfect Flashdance look. Our year ended with a trip to Great Adventure and the promise of a happy summer. We never thought that we would make it through, but we did. Freshman year was over and we were ready to accept our place among the upperclassmen.
