Staff warned of dangers in bicentennial In the middle of July, four staffers packed up their clothes and a trusty fan and headed for workshop. Each was ready to learn and was determined to come back with some great ideas about the future of the book. During the lec- tures, all participants were warned of the dangers of becoming overzealous with a bicentennial theme. The staffers were crushed! They thought surely their theme would be considered too overdone. Gab sessions at the adviser’s home, prior to workshop, provided the theme that everyone thought could best tie in school and the bicentennial. A ray of light and a glimpse of hope were fouiul after talking to the instructors. Yes, they could definitely see the con- nection between the school and the theme. The effect would, be interesting and perhaps when the book is finished a copy could be sent to me,” replied one of the workshop instructors. Relating the cover to the book was one of the main problems. The staffers left ivorkshop with only one vague idea for the cover design. With this one idea in mind, the staff turned to Tim Ison, for help in conveying the events of the school year and the theme. Unfortunately, Tim would never see his finished product. An automobile accident took his life and the lives of two friends on Christmas day. Using Tim’s artwork and three pictures in relation to the theme, the cover was finished showing the total face of East: the school, its inhabitants, and the events of the year. Junior Kelli Rowe makes her contribution to the celebration of the bicentennial by painting one of the fire hydrants on State Road 31. A walkout over the bussing controversy was de- terred when Mr. LeRoy Nelson, principal, con- vinced students that signing petitions was a bet- ter means of expressing their protest.
