Text from Pages 1 - 232 of the 1978 volume:

The universe also exists in cycles. Cy- cles at East have grown to be an un- questionable fact that is as regular as the rings of planets and stars. hich is shown by the ange MTtlc, is know n for its archi- tectural features. One of these out- standing sites can be seen in our Ichool, which developes more each cycle. Even in the vast reaches of space w'e are a piece of the puzzle, fitting cx- ;h the Cycles Of Unity. 2 i 1978 Aids Columbus East H.S. Volume VI Opening 2 Student Life 6 230 So. Marr Rd.

After the first years of fires, floods and vandalism we shifted into conventional gear and spun gracefully through the end of the cycle. We function and maintain our flow with the pattern of the six day schedule. Small groups, large groups, composition lab and free time adjust together in an indivisible cycle as modern as the building itself. I------------- Architectural wonders were generously scattered through the building. One graceful feature is the ceiling above the stairs by the main office. 2 Opening Chicken bones were given to senior Val Knotts honoring her on her birth- day by her friends in the cafeteria. Cycles The Christmas season kept the Swing Choir active with performances. One of their programs was sung to the Ro- tary Club at Donner Center. Opening 3 1973 brought the creation of‘‘The Other School,” which dared to defy the old straight schedule learning with a modular system of the five day cycle. The operations of the new school was a bit shaky with acts of vandalism and the incompleteness of the building, but the five day cycle never failed. 1975 handed out one more major change to the cycle system. The five day schedule was discarded and a new six day cycle was adopted. Fear that such progress would bring “Chaos was lost when the modular system once more pulled us through the crisis. Heavy snows surround East High School. But even the layers of ice didn't hinder students from taking breaks and walking to the houses in the back during their lunch hour. 4 Opening Shelves of library reference material gave students an easy opportunity to attain information for class discussion. One of our most treasured assets was our basketball team. Proof was easily found as fans traveled to Jennings County to suppport the team to a victory. Opening 5 Dances, convocations and plays perfected with each yearly cycle. The traditional prom was the single dance that remained constant through the first cycle. One play and one musical per year was another conventional activity molded. Enjoyment blended with belonging caused the after school cur- riculum to grow as much as our position in the community. The first cycle developed a pattern of activities structured to bring the student body closer. The job remaining is for our next cycle to follow the pattern. Several of the white walls at school were artistically decorated to parallel the area painted. Junior Robin Turner aides in the designs by stroking green leaves on the third floor wall by the green house. Even though the locker level wasn’t the best place to keep out of trouble, several students took time to stop and visit with friends before going to study. Sophomores were denied the right of relaxing in the commons, but the up- perclassmen frequently took advan- tage of their special privilege. 6 Student Life School spirit is set off by Mr. Philip Houston, principal’s idea of a tug-of- war between the men and women of the student body. Senior Fritz Fortner and sophomore Glen Spinks tug to the screams of the crowd who are raising spirit for the M and N (Madison and North) basketball weekend. Sabrina Fair tryouts were participated in during October. Junior Larry Turner follows the rules of reading lines from the play and being observed by Mr. Ray Leblanc, drama teacher for his ca- pability of receiving a part. The brisk winter air cause spirits to rise everywhere. Especially in warm places like the Christmas Dance, where couples such as seniors Jeff Burbrink and Clare Mauze slow dance. Student Life Student Life 7 Tranquil home Destroyed; Sabrina reigns When the return of the chauffer’s daughter, Sabrina Fairchild, turns the tranquility of the Larrabee household into a wreck, amusing comedy sets the mood of the play. Returning home from a trip to Paris to the settled Long Islanders, Sabrina Fairchild, senior Linda Sandhagc, re- turns to the Larrabee’s only to upset the entire household. Sabrina who is bright and well-educated, discovers she is still in love with the elder Larrabee son, Linus Jr. junior Scott Willy. But to her amazement, David, sophomore Tom Bostic, the youngest son and a rich Frenchman, who has followed her home from Paris, falls in love with her. No sooner than they turn their love loose for her, they find out she is really in love with the elder Larrabee son. After many complications with Maude Larrabee, junior Anita Foster, who always sees her childrens’ point of view as long as it coincides with her own, and Linus Larrabee, Sr,, senior Steve Kalstrup, whose only passion in life is attending funerals of friends, Sabrina finally wins the man she loves. Sabrina Fairchild.............Linda Sandhagc Fairchild..............Gary van Wyk Linus Larrabee................Steve Kalstrup Linus Larrabee, Jr............Scott Willy David Larrabee..................Tom Bostic Maude Larrabee................Anita Foster Julia McKinlock.................Bev Williams Discussing high finance at a cocktail party, David, sophomore Tom Bostic, Julia, senior Bev Williams, and Linus, Jr., junior Scott Willy arc concerned with one another’s love affairs. Desperately trying to locate her eldest son, Linus, Jr., junior Scott Willy, Maude finds no help from Linus Sr., senior Steve Kalstrup, and Julia, senior Bev Williams. 8 Student Life Astonished to sec the gift intended for Maude, Deeply concerned about Sabrina’s recent trip junior Anite Foster, Julia, senior Bcv Williams, to Paris, Fairchild, senior Gary Van Wyk, is examines the cock-a-too bird Sabrina, senior being consoled by his daughter Sabrina, senior Linda Sandhage, brought back from Paris. Linda Sandhage. Arriving back from attending one of his pas- sions of life, funerals, Linus Larrabee, Sr., se- nior Steve Kalstrup, tells Maude Larrabee, ju- nior Anita Foster, his son, David, sophomore Tom Bostic, and friend of the household Julia McKinlock, senior Bcv Williams, how won- derful the funeral was. Sabrina, senior Linda Sandhage, surprises Da- vid, sophomore Tom Bostic, on her arrival from Paris. Student Life 9 Intimately comparing notes, seniors Debbie Gil- pin and Randy Denny find a peaceful area for studying. Abandoning the scene during school, junior Jeff Reed, senior Dan Cockerham, and sophomore Lee Ferry disobey parking lot rules. Romantic adventures banned; replaced by trash collecting Have you seen these signs; No Touching” and Keep Out”? The signs haven’t been visible yet but the feeling of new rules seems to be a con- cern to most romantic adventurers and parking lot eccentrics. Students have been deprived of the right to kiss or even hold hands on school property during school time. The usual stairwells are no place where students want to be alone. With some luck, students may very well be mak- ing-out as Mr. Phillip Houston mean- ders down the stairs. Because of the new pornography law, students are forced to forfeit the affectionate out- ings. There is a time and a place for passionate rendezvous but not here at school,” one faculty member concluded. The south parking lot for students has not, as yet, had any Keep Out” sign but it is forbidden to congregate around the cars. Since there has been thefts in the past, faculty, parents, and even police patrol the parking lot. But because the school has enforced the rules, thieves have not entered the parking lots. If it weren’t for thefts, the parking lot might be added as an advantage for the student body. Second thoughts may prevent teach- ers motives of giving punishment ranging from work detail or detention to study hall (all year) or suspension. Beware of signs, Keep Out” and No Touching” at all school activities or students may find themselves as trash collectors”. Wonder what the school will think of next ... maybe we won’t have to go to school at all!! 10 Student Life Even Oracle editor, senior Tom Bcnnardo, and junior Mindy Oliver, affectionately break the no touching” rule. Parking lot jaunt developcs into a daily ritual for seniors Dave Reed, Sam Miller, and junior Wade Hooten. Studying so close makes it hard for seniors Tami Hagemier and Tom Kitterman to abide by the No Touching” rule. Disregarding the imaginary Keep Out” sign, senior Kim Barringer escapes from a hectic day. Student Life 11 During the Christmas dance, chaperones Mr. and Mrs. James Richards fill students glasses to the brim with punch. Cold weather Sets the scene For two dances Winterland sets the scene for the Homecoming and Christmas dances. Snow warned travelers of dangerous road conditions but students and their guests kept coming. The Homecoming dance was memo- rable for those graduates who returned for the football game and the dance. Millcreek presented music to boogie down to and kept dancers bopping to the sounds. Murals that reminded students of the everlasting Christmas spirits deco- rated the gymnasium. Christmas reds and greens shone through the romantic lights as Lundin and Metzler provided the moody atmosphere of music by Fleetwood Mac, England Dan and John Ford Coley, John Hall and Dar- rell Oates, and others. Students and their guests partici- pated in the fall dances sponsored by E.S.A. which made the atmosphere en- joyable in every way. 12 Homecoming queen senior Kathy Reedy and her escort, junior Todd Nelson, enjoy the free- floating style of Millcreek as the crowd parts for the official Homecoming dance. Impatiently waiting outside the gymnasium for the opening of the annual Christmas dance, students and their guests socialize, shar- ing their expectations for the evening. Exhausted after a winter night of dancing and gossiping at the Christmas dance, sophomores Jay Kiel and Patricia Shafer, decide to get a breath of fresh air. 13 New generation of pygmies” Parade through crowded halls Even junior Dawn Jenkins is a short person,” but Dawn’s advantage leads to her gymnastic success. Invasion of pygmies? No, just a generation of shorter people! Short people haven’t been a great concern to the student body until the song Short People” by Randy Newman, from his recent album Little Criminals”, brought it to close attention. But also seeing a parade of short sophomores, the student body started to look down” upon the pygmies.” Although short people do have a few advantages over others, such as they stand so low and can maneuver easily. They are smaller and can squeeze into back seats of small cars. But often their problems sneak up on them be- fore they realize it. They need step lad- ders to reach the highest places. Short people are never seen until someone accidently steps on them”. Most short guys like tall girls until they take them out on dates. They’re called pee wee’s”, pyg- mies”, sawed-ofP’, and shorty”, but whatever name is appropriate they still are humiliated. But if one notices short people dress in stylist attire, enjoy sports and school activities, eat the same foods and have the same desires as you and I, So, maybe there really isn’t a difference at all! No matter how short or tall students are, they still fit into the cycle of our school’s modular system. 14 Student Life Being short” doesn’t prevent junior Susan Bi- erlcin from completing her daily homework in science resource. Short people got no reason Short people got no reason Short people got no reason To live They got little hands And little eyes And they walk around Tcllin’ great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet Well, I don’t want no short people Don’t want no short people ’round here Short people arc just the same As you and I (a fool such as I) All men are brothers Until the day they die (It’s a wonderful world) Short people got no body Short people got no body Short people got no body To love They got little baby legs And they stand so low You got to pick ’em up Just to say hello They got little cars That go beep, beep, beep They got little voices goin’ peep, peep, peep They got grubby little fingers And dirty little minds They’re gonna get you every time Well, I don’t want no short people Don’t want no short people ’Round here Congregating on the resource level sopho- more Mark Spinz looks down” upon Tammy Murphy. Short people” add to their height more and more by wearing platform shoes or boots, so they, at least, can see over carrels. Student Life 15 The King and Rock Bands inflame crowds Smash hits have made the uncontrollable rock bands of the school rise above acknowl- edgement as students to mimic rock performers. Rock freaks brought enthusiasm which spread among students. The rock bands at East have as many members and crew correspon- dents as the original performers. Student rock bands perform songs by Queen, Nazareth, Boston, and others. One local rock group imi- tates the costumes and make-up of Kiss. The members and their parts arc senior Mark Reeves, Gene Simmons; senior Andy Bierlein, Paul Stanley; senior Dave Pruitt, Ace Freshley; junior Scott Willy, Peter Criss. The group started in 1973 and have lived out the fantasy of Kiss and their love for music. Senior Mark Reeves excitedly explains, When I dress up like a demon, I am a demon! Gene Simmons original tongue length is 7Vi inches but the impersonator, senior Mark Reeves, has stretched his tongue to six inches. Theatrics happens to be the goal of Reeves and Bierlein. Other groups within the school perform, as well. A group of juniors who have successfully performed for an audience professionally, in- clude promoter and drummer, Roger Johnson, Mark Porter, Richard Ballard, and Gary Bal- lard, and Vocalist Doug Gooldy have been rocked and rolled most of the nights away. The group has performed songs from great artists such as Deep Purple, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zepplin, and Eagles. Changing musicians have apparently been an asset to the group and more and more of their music has improved. Practicing from early evening hours to late morning hours, Roger and his group have obviously grown popular among the students. Kiss freaks. Queen freaks, and Eagles freaks are all just plain rock freaks but the enjoyment is there whether they arc living out a fantasy or to feel important, or just for the love of music, the freaks of rockbands will forever reign. 16 Student Life Finishing the hit song of the acid rock group, Kiss, arc performers Mark Reeves, Gene Sim- mons; Dave Pruitt, Ace Frchley; Andy Bi- erlein, Paul Stanley. Applause clamors through the auditorium as Kiss performers conclude the hit song ‘‘Beth’ from the acid rock group Kiss. Kiss drummer, Peter Criss, Scott Willey, per- forms his drum solo during God of Thunder.” Revealing his wicked tongue, six inches in length. Gene Simmons, Mark Reeves, strums away the attention getter Cold Gin”. The King; Rock bands Inflame crowds Echoes of country, blues, and rock 'n’ roll still live in the famous loca- tions where The King” performed. The hottest teenage idol ever thrilled fans with his curved lips, slicked back hair, tight leather pants, and gyrating hips. Until his death, August 16, 1977, at the age of forty-two in his Memphis estate, Graceland”, Elvis was the King” of rock 'n’ roll. He discovered a new form of rock 'n’ roll as he shook to the hard rock music and sent shivers up the spines of his great spectators with How Great Thou Art”. Also girls hearts melted to the popular song Love Me Tender”. The King swiveled to other popular songs such as Shake, Rattle, and Roll”, All Shook Up”, Jailhouse Rock”, Blue Suede Shoes”, and many more. Elvis succeeded to arouse teenage dollars when in 1958, he joined the military service where he became known in films like, G.I. Blues”, “Kissin’ Cousins”, “Girls, Girls, Girls”, Double Trouble”, Paradise, Hawaiian Style”, Fun in Acapulco” and others. Presley’s talent was instinc- tive and natural. Audiences screamed and fans applauded to his exhilarating music. Southern Rock 'N’ Roll. But even after his death, Presley’s lyrics still hum in the minds of those who loved him, and his style will continue to be copied by hundreds of beginning artists. Most popular teen-age idol in the rock V roll era, The King, arouses an enthusiastic crowd. Physically drained, after recent illness, Elvis still creates a strong emotional state at his lat- est concert. Student Life 17 Giving the students a boost, seniors Brad Red- man, Tom Kitterman, David Perry, Jay Rich- ardson, and Duane Nicholson, display the words to the Olympian song. Parade of pep Sessions begin Class rivalries Pep Sessions were the most popular parade of Convocations. The spirit at the pep sessions remained strong throughout the student body as tug- of-war and cheering competitions were the highlight of the package. The first convocation was rewarding as Mr. Philip Houston, principal, an- nounced the winning class, the class of ’78, would receive two hundred dollars for their jubilant voices that cheered the loudest in the class competition with the cheer We’ve gotta team go- ing all the way.” The senior class planned a class party and gave-away fifty, twenty-five, fifteen, and ten dol- lars door prizes. Women competed against the men in a tug-of-war contest which not only highlighted but added suspense to the pep sessions for the students. The fun and enthusiasm drained as attendance was generally taken at the pep sessions. But by the end of the school year, assigned seats and atten- dance was not necessary as the student body attended each convocation with enthusiasm ability. Mr Houston, congregated the stu- dents into pep sessions for fun, joy, and a lot of cheering at the top of their lungs. Convocations surprisingly welcomed big mouths which weren’t hard to find. During the regional pep session, E.S.A. presi- dent, Don Lanham, displays a bit of his musi- cal talent, drumming to the popular cheer GO EAST.” 18 Student Life Harmonizing through Happy Trails to You,” seniors Mike Fuetterer, Brad Redman, Troy Grooms, Mark Hilycord, and Don Lanham, put a lid on the regional pep session. Announcing the senior class as being the win- ner of the class cheering contest, Mr. Philip Houston, principal, gives the senior class tw'o- hundred dollars to be used for a class party. We’ve gotta team going all the wav,” w'as the phrase yelled in the class competition w'hich concluded the First pep session for the football team cheering them on to victory. Student Life 19 Political disaster strikes; Community faces hardship Political turmoil brought hardship to the small Jewish community of Anatevka in Tsarist Russia. Outside Anatevka troubles spread through Rus- sia as the villagers prepared to join the revolutionaries against the tsar ruler. Cast for Fiddler on the Roof Tevvc Perchik. Lazar Wolf.

Preparing for the Sabbath, Yente, the matchmaker, junior Lisa Buchanan, arrived to tell Golde, senior Trina Birdwell, that the butcher, Lazar Wolf, junior Ernie Kerns, hoped to marry their eldest daughter Tzietel, soph- omore Eva Patton. But Tzeitel, already in love with the poor tailor, Motel Kamzoil, junior Doug Gooldy, talked of the prospect of marriage with her sister. Tevye, struggling home, met Perchik, junior Scott Willy, a poor student from Kiev, who agreed to teach Tevye’s daughters in return for his keep. Returning home to join his family Tevye met Lazar in the village inn and was persuaded to agree to the marriage of Tzeitel. Tzeitel is told of the plan for her marriage to Lazar. Mo- tel entered and together they confessed their secret marriage. Perchik joined the revolutionaries but before he left he asked Hodel to marry him and she consented. The village heard that Perchik had been ar- rested and sent to a settlement in Si- beria. Hodel decided to join him and marry him there. They were all caught in a maelst- rom; an order from the Tsar com- manded that Jewish families must leave in within three days. Even Tevye, whose third daughter Shava, junior Su- san Ell, had married a Russian, cannot be spared. They leave sadly to start new lives in Poland, the Holy Land, and America. 20 Student Life Dwelling on the traditions of the Jewish be- lief, Tevye, senior Steve Kalstrup, explains the significance of the prayer shawls and head cover. Neighbors of the town introduce themselves to Pcrchik, junior Scott Willy, a poor student from Kiev. The neighbors arc: Mendel, soph- omore Scott Taylor; Avrahm, sophomore Tim Howard; Mordcha, sophomore Daryl Deck; and Tevye, senior Steve Kalstrup. Discussing new ideas about Russia, Hodcl, sophomore Lori Campbell, and Perchik, junior Scott Willy, dream of a better Russia. Student Life 21 Security lights of the First National Bank were shut off during the late hours of the evening which made Columbus seem as though it was a ghost town. Everything seemed to be disposable during the United Mine Workers strike as senior Duane Nichalson demonstrates his way of disposing of his styrofoam tray. Energy crisis set back closing times of all Washington Street stores which left the streets deserted. Carefully manipulating his fork without it snapping in two, senior Jeff Brown devours the cold lunch plate which replaced the hot lunches because of the energy cut back. Ghost towns revive from energy crisis Bringing back memories of the ghost towns of the old west, dark, eerie, and quiet, Columbus and sur- rounding communities suffered through history being made as United Mine Workers struck for one hundred and nine days. History was being made as President Jimmy Carter called an emergency en- ergy set back for Indiana and other states. Columbus cut back all electricity except needed from businesses such as schools, factories, and stores. Employ- ees were laid off, homes and businesses cut back by utilizng few lights and less heat. East went through numerous cold spells as gym classes were moved to the open area between the audito- rium and the cafeteria to finish their dancing segment of the P.E. course. The gym was totally shut off from any heat and lights as it approximately dropped to a 40 degree level. Basketball practice was postponed but practice was temporarily moved to North or they played in the dark at school. Ex- tra-curricular activities were post-poned also for the time being. But as the energy crisis lingered on, the community realized how serious the shortage meant to the state of In- diana. Most of the citizens of Colum- bus and surrounding communities sup- ported the energy crisis to some degree. Ending the one hundred and nine day coal strike was a relief to many citi- zens. Even though some issues couldn’t be agreed upon, the strike was settled and the ghost towns of Indiana flick- ered back to life. Student life 23 Trucks and vans were highlights of the auto- mobile competition and received much recognition. New contests end boredom; Set promising precedent Motor heads and ping-pong tourna- ments set the winter blues behind the scene and welcomed the oncoming summer. Students and faculty partici- pated in the car show and ping-pong events which helped move along the slow days left until school was out. The warmth of spring filled the school with sunshine. Winners of the car show displayed great enthusiasm for their cars, trucks, and vans. First place in the car division went to junior Jim Daily showing a 1934 Chevy Coupe. Second place win- ner was senior Brian Morris and third went to junior Jeff Gullett. In the trucks and vans division, senior Jim Galbraith took first place with a 1977 van. Second was junior Ron Bartin and third was sophomore Bob Christman. The overall winner was senior David Wampler displaying a I960 Thunderbird. Celebrities visiting the car show were Ed Thurman from WWWY, Ray Massey from WCSI, J.D. Lewis from the Republic. A National Guard heli- copter flew over the car show to ob- serve the great-looking cars, vans, and trucks. After several weeks of practice, the ping-pong classic got underway. Both men and women participated in his event that took much concentration. Competition was tough but not too tough for the competitor who won the final round. Junior Matt Kutch took the ping-pong classic in stride and cap- tured the tournament trophy. Never before has there been a car show or ping-pong tournaments at East. Perhaps this first will be the be- ginning of new enthusiastic events in the future. Tournament winner junior Matt Kutch ex- presses a bit of distress, but keeps his eye on the ball. 24 Student Life Senior Dan Patton demonstrates that self-con- trol figures in to keeping the tiny ball on the table. The first auto show brought out sharp looking cars like Jim Daily’s 1934 Chevy Coupe. Senior Dan Fischer keeps his Chevy in tip-top shape to Keep on Truckin’’. Psyching out his opponent, senior John Hoff- man’s strategy works as he forces his opponent to loose control. Student Life 25 Royalty selected for the 6th annual prom were Julie Foulkc and David Drummond of Colum- bus North and seniors Kelly Thclandcr and Don Lanham from East. Prom Evening shines through mystifying rain Outshining the electrifying lights of the 1978 prom held at the Commons, juniors and seniors dressed in smiles, evening gowns, and tuxedos shone through the atmosphere of rain that evening brought. The pastel colors produced a great effect on the theme, Book of Dreams. The feeling of summer drew around the crowd as they danced their way into each others arms to the sound of Turnabout. The music performed re- lieved all tension with its mellow sound. As the lights grew dim, stu- dents relaxed into their own dream worlds. The enjoyment lasted throughout the evening, but as soon as the clock struck midnight the excitement was re- newed and the prom-goers rushed home to change into leisure clothes and on to the after-prom ... 26 Student Life Enthusiasm spreads throughout the prom- Prom-goers step to the mellow music of goers as students gather with friends to talk Turnabout, about the evening.

Students crowded around the games, such as putt putt, bingo, darts, and ring toss. The entertainment ranged from Jeff and Shirley and a country- western group, to muppet disco and Majik Mitch. Prizes of all sizes were given away, such as radios, luggage, clocks, cam- eras, and bicycles. The grand prize, a stereo, was won by senior Mike Howe. The food seemed to be the prize of the package, for pizza and ham sand- wiches went over really well with the starving students. As the prizes dwindled away the crowd grew restless and left for home to dream of the magical evening put before them by parents, faculty, and friends. Hitting the target takes skill as senior Jonette Ramey pitches pennies for a ticket to add to her collections. 28 Student Life Farrah gives a cheer as the guys pass by. Fonzie Frog says hey” to passerbys at the muppet mania after-prom. Electrifying music from the muppet disco with disc jockey Majik Mitch kept the crowd jump- ing to the beat.

Appropriately, many of the top awards were presented to seniors. Each department presented awards to students who excelled in specific subjects. Scholarships were also pre- sented by organizations outside of the school. Judsen Erne, a former Columbus principal, reminded students that everyone has some talent of his own. Three new awards, more scholarships, and more recipients overall represen- ted the impossibility of presenting every deserving student with an award. As in the past, students were not the only people receiving awards. Many organization’s sponsors were given awards by their grateful students. The school was presented a gift from the senior class by president Debbie Frohman. The seniors’ contri- bution was a small courtyard of ce- ment benches and trees. The top award of the day was thought by some to be awarded to senior Chuck Bott when he became the father of a new baby. Superior U.S. History students annually com- pete by taking an examination sponsored by the D.A.R. Junior Ross Richardson displays his first place bronze medal. Top athletic awards include the Judsen Erne Mental Attitude award and the WCSI County Athlete award given to either a Columbus North, Columbus East, or Hauser student. Se- nior Ted Rutan is the proud recipient of both of these awards. Student Life 31 Graduates’ pride overcomes anxiety, tears Intently listening to the graduation march, seniors held their heads high as they waited for their cue to enter the gymnasium for commencement exer- cises to acknowledge those worthy of graduation. Every senior was welcomed to join special worship services in his church on Sunday May 21, 1978. At 2:30 p.m. seniors attended the joint Baccalaureate services at Columbus North’s Memo- rial Gymnasium. Commencement exercises for East seniors followed shortly afterward at 5:00 p.m. Seniors experienced mixed emotions as the graduation march ended and silence filled the room. Some seniors were grateful the time had come to graduate and others shed tears, but all were proud of their achievements. Reminiscing over senior days, vale- dictorian Debbie Frohman reminded the students of the goals they had set at school. Salutatorian Donna Spofford warned of the courses life takes after high school. The time had come to look to the future as each senior stepped across the stage, shook hands very proudly with Dr. Lawrence Heyerdahl and received his diploma. Screams of delight echoed the halls after the recessional, the last rite of the graduation ceremony. A special glow of the warmth of friendship and satis- faction was seen in ever)' graduate’s eye. The Class of 1978 disbanded so that the graduates could look forward to a bright and promising future. One by one, each graduate receives his di- ploma from Dr. Lawrence Heyerdahl, BCSC superintendent. Wirh a feeling of happiness and success, se- niors march out as new graduates. Graduates gather outside to extend best wishes to their classmates before parting to go their separate ways. 32 Student Life Reverence fills the gymnasium as senior class vice-president Kathy Reedy solemnizes the graduates futures with a prayer. Whether it is smirks of accomplishment or tears of sadness, graduation means something to every graduating senior. Student Life 33 Bake sales were a part of most organiza- tions. Sophomore Jenny Richmond ad- mires the cakes and candies junior Mindy Oliver and sophomore Robyn Branom are selling to raise money for the Torchettes. Chemistry was one of the more trying subjects for beginning science students such as sophomore Teresa Boffo. The only solution for the amateur chemists was spending their free-time studying formulas. The spectacular sights that were built in the architectural wonder of our high school were often taken for granted. One such feature was the high tri- angular ceiling above the math re- source center. Academics, Organizations 34 Academics The modular schedules left no limits on the edu- cational opportunities for students. Large groups, small groups, comprehension labs and resource time summersaulted together into a efficent learning sys- tem. Drama and Music departments often took school time to film plays or give performances. Tying all of the organizations together the Altis and Oracle Staffs kept the school informed. Each Foreign Language, drama club, and cheerblock meeting opened new activities for the students. Exceptional opportunities in learning were also found in the home econom- ics department. Senior Trina Hamlin places roasting cars on the grill located on the sun deck. The energy crisis brought havoc to the physical education classes when they could not be held in the cold dark gym. A solution was found for couples like junior Travis Cole and sophomore Elaine Crouch when their dancing classes were moved to the open area between the auditorium and the bookstore.

Organizations 35 Best education provided Through tradition, change Involved in a feature article, sophomore Dave Yount spent some of his unscheduled time reading a current periodical from the reading lab located in room A230. The education of our youth is this generation’s debt to the future, and the future will judge how well we have paid it off.” The English department is now striving to better the future of the students. In order to do so, a few changes had to be made in the department. Although English is a required course, seniors had the choice in con- sidering which program they wished to take. For instance, college bound stu- dents spent their first nine weeks studying English Literature, while non- college bound students were studying contemporary literature. The rest of the year was spent working on their choice of sixteen offered mini-courses, three of which were new this year. Senior mini-courses dealt with basic com- position, reading and discussing plays, short stories and magazine articles and human relationships. The junior English program was di- vided into three sections; writing, the novel Huckleberry Finn and early Amer- ican literature which was the study of several plays, poetry and in some cases novels. The sophomore English students followed the tradition of independent study. This gave each student the op- portunity to work at his own pace. They could learn as much as possible about grammar and composition with- out being forced to review the sections the student already knew. This year the English department joined drama students for two trips to the Indianapolis Repertory Theater to see The Philadelphia Story” and The Country Girl”. 36 Academics A forty-five minute extended homeroom on Reading Day allowed sophomores Mark Wil- son and Debbie Wolfhurst a chance to catch up on the reading of non-required material. Caught up in the monotony of school work, senior Mark Hilycord took a moment to relax in the English Resource Center.

Students learn communication as elective art Trying to communicate with the public was the main objective of the journalism. Speech, Photojournalism and Dramatics classes. Whether the messages were conveyed through a news or feature article, photograph, play or discussion, they were all pre- pared carefully to be presented to their special audiences. Journalism was an introductory course briefly examining the mass media of communications and the unique place given them in our society under the First Amendment. Special emphasis was given to developing skills in news, feature and editorial writing. Students also learned the fundamentals of editing and production. Upon suc- cessfully completing the course, stu- dents were offered positions on either of the Oracle or Altis staffs. Photojournalism introduced students to the basic use of the camera and the world of photography. Emphasis was placed on developing dark room skills and seeking the production of good quality photographs suitable for publications. The one semester speech course, aimed primarily at teaching students how to speak effectively, emphasized the development of listening skills. The preparation and presentation of formal speeches and experiences with parliamentary procedure, panel dis- cussion, debating and oral inter- pretation were among the activities utilized in the course. Another one semester elective of- fered was dramatics. In addition to studying and practicing techniques of acting, students learned the fudiments of set design, stagecraft, costuming, lighting and make-up for dramatic per- formances. The main goal of the course was the presentation of a dra- matic production for a large audience.

Staffers overcome problems; Complete yearbook on time They say we’re young and we don’t know, we won’t find out until we grow. Well, I don’t know if all that’s true ’cause you got me and baby, I got you.” After coming back from summer workshop at Ball State University spir- its were high for those who attended; seniors Marie Poynter, June Quillen, Teresa Shepherd, Kim Sherbundy and Ken Ritzlinc. Layout designs and copy writing were crammed into the minds of eager” listeners. The basic thought was how the work shop students could cram so many ideas with so little of time and expect students to learn all the necessary information. But the feat was proven possible when the 1977-78 Altis staff came home ready to start the new book. Nobody could have warned us about the problems we would face. The staff positions weren’t complete and they had to be filled with beginning jour- nalism students who had to be taught their jobs. We were introduced to a new ad- viser, Mr. William Bohall. We also had to live up to the repu- tation from staffs before us and com- plete the book on time. After a slow start wheels of progress began to roll. The theme was created. Staffers began their sections. The first work day was held on December 28, during Christmas vacation. Photo- graphs were snapped, pages rolled in and the book molded into shape. Work wasn’t the only subject for the staff, occasional parties cropped up in and out of the staff room. Laughter filled the pub, a place which was most of the staffers’ second home. For seniors, their last three years had been spent in that room. The room held a magic” for all. As seniors left they knew it wasn’t goodbye”, they’d follow the other graduates’ pattern and be back. The people will change but the room will always remain the staff domain. Close friendships will always be attained through the work and planning of the new book. They said we were young and wouldn’t know, we wouldn’t find out until we grew, we know that all that wasn’t true. We made it through with our book as proof.

The production of the school news- paper, an extension of beginning jour- nalism, was a laboratory class with em- phasis on developing skills in editing, design, business management and photography. The Oracle, the voice of the Olym- pians” informed students about school activities and events and local happen- ings in the community. The letters to the editor” allowed members of the student body to freely express their feelings about our school and the community. Switching back to a bi-weekly schedule added an extra load on the Oracle staff. With the help of Will Bohall, publications adviser, all crisis faded and problems were solved. A bi- weekly paper brought news more fre- quently and timely than the previous tri-weekly paper. The timeliness was especially noticeable in the sports section. Summer journalism workshops proved to be quite beneficial by in- structing staffers on feature writing and techniques of drawing layouts. At- tending Indiana University were se- niors editor-in-chief, Tom Bennardo, Rod Reed and Jeff Coldiron, juniors Matt Kutch, Mary Anne Pelic and Jan Carteaux. Junior Tim Fields was present at the Ball State University workshop while junior Francis Carmen attended a one day convention at Han- over College. Cutting out copy corrections, junior Mary Anne Pelic, opinion editor for the Oracle, com- pletes a layout. Oracle 43 Receiving the Most Valuable Staffer award from Mr. Dick Sheets of the Republic, Senior Ken Ritzlinc accepts his honor with a hand- shake during the annual Quill and Scroll banquet. Condensing information about events, junior Matt Kutch relays details in written form to Republic news staff. Society journalistic honor; Kutch Republic informant Encouraging high school students to get involved individually in journalism is one of the main objectives of Quill and Scroll Society. This honorary so- ciety provides a program in which in- dividuals can progress in the field of journalism, creative writing, and re- lated fields through his own initiative. After making progress, the individual is then recognized and rewarded for his achievements. Comparing this society to the con- ventional journalistic system, which re- wards the staff as a whole for the pub- lication itself shows that Quill and Scroll places more importance on the student’s improvement. This improve- ment in turn betters the publication also. Quill and Scroll Society also sup- ports activities such as writing contests, money-raising projects and awards given through banquets. Members of Quill and Scroll chapter and staff members of Altis and Oracle received awards at East’s annual banquet as follows: Most Valuable Staffer awards were given to senior Ken Ritzling, Altis; and junior Frances Carman, Oracle; Most Promising Cub Reporter was given to sophomore Kim Russell, Altis; Outstanding Senior Journalist went to senior Tom Bennardo, Oracle; and senior Marie Poynter, Altis; and Columbus East’s Tim Ison award went to senior Crystal Jenkins, Altis. Another figure important to jour- nalism is junior Matt Kutch who is holding the position of Republic corre- spondent. Keeping the public informed of special events around school is his chief responsibility. Along with writing the stories for the Republic and get- ting his by-line, Matt is paid for his entries used in the local paper. 44 Quill and Scroll Working on the Oracle staff along with his other positions, junior Matt Kutch peers over the light table.

Six speech team members earned honors throughout the season of com- petition involving meets with Law- rence Central, North Central, In- dianapolis Arsenal Tech, Terre Haute, and Perry Meridian. Ribbons were won by senior Tom Bennardo in the Origi- nal Oratory division, sophomore Jeff Ryle and senior Carla Cornett in the Oratorical Interpretation division, se- nior Meg Timour in the Prose Reading division, junior Marty Hensley in the Broadcasting division and seniors Meg Timour and Bev Williams in the Dra- matic Duo division. Placing in the Terre Haute regional gave Marty Hensley and Carla Cornett the opportunity to compete in the state meet in the Broadcasting and Oratorical Interpretation divisions, respectively. The major project shared and en- joyed by the Dramatics club was the presentation of two one-act plays throughout the year. The first presen- tation was One Happy Family” fea- turing performances by sophomores Martina Rieker, Connie Brown, Daryl Deck and Tom Bostic, junior Mark Matheny, and seniors Carla Cornett and Mike Howe. The play was under the direction of sophomore Jeff Ryle. The second presentation starring se- niors Gary vanWyke, Linda Sandhage, and Andy Bierlein was Marriage Pro- posal” directed by senior Libby Kauper. Building sets, applying make-up, coordinating costumes, and assisting with ideas and talent, the dramatics club was actively involved with the presentation and organization of the two major dramatical productions throughout the year, Sabrina Fair” and Fiddler On the RooP’. Appointed officers for the 1977-78 school year for the Dramatics club were: senior Carla Cornett, president; senior Libby Kauper, vice-president; junior Anita Foster, secretary; and ju- nior Mark Matheny, treasurer. Carla Cornett was voted Most Enthusiastic by the other members of the club and was honored at the annual Dramatics club banquet.

Three German students win I.U. honors How many students dream of spending a few months in a foreign country? Juniors Debbie Heller, Kevin Clendenien and Doug Neff have taken the first step towards making that dream come true. These three German students have passed the Indiana Uni- versity Honors program exam, thus al- lowing them the opportunity to for- ward into personal interviews and more examinations from the American Field Service. The Indiana University Honors pro- gram was offered to all juniors and se- niors in Indiana in all three languages; Spanish, German and French. Debbie, Kevin and Doug happen to be the only students from our school to qualify. Five levels in each foreign language were offered to our students. The first level emphasized conversa- tions and major stress was placed on speaking the language grammatically correct. Reading and writing were in- troduced but kept to a minimum. From time to time, cultural units were studied. Speaking grammatically correct was still the main goal during the second level of a foreign language, although there was more emphasis placed on reading and writing. Spanish students were required to actively participate in the preparation of typical ethnic dishes. German students approached a moder- ate amount of reading and discussing short anecdotes. Students in all lan- guages added colorful notes to the classrooms when they were able to present original skits. By the third level the students should have gained fluency in conver- sation with open discussion in the classrooms. A greater stress was placed on reading and in depth grammar studies. The third year German stu- dents also studied short works of Ger- many’s most impressive post-war writers. The fourth level of a foreign lan- guage moved basically into the study of cultural literature, films, plays and simple poetry. Spanish classes also studied art in the form of classic paint- ings, thus increasing their proficiency and writing skills. The fifth and final level of any lan- guage offered at our school was de- signed to enlarge the student’s vocabu- lary, allowing a non-conscious control of grammatical forms. The study of short novels, mysteries and poetry equipped students with the cultural knowledge allowing them to speak with some authority during class dis- cussion sessions.

Academics 49 Foreign language offered fun To early birds ready to work Awakening early and being rushed to school in time for eight o’clock meetings were common for students who participated in any of the three foreign language clubs offered by our school; Spanish, French and German. All members put forth great effort to make the clubs successful. The Spanish club’s major fund rais- ing project was the sale of assorted candy in late September which netted the club two hundred dollars. Money from the project was spent on bus rental to take the club to the Lecture Demonstration Recital presented by the Spanish Dance Company in In- dianapolis on November 17th. The club’s other fund raising activity was the sale of Sarah Coventry jewelry'. Dressed in native costumes, members also participated in open house on No- vember 14th. The officers for the Spanish club throughout the year were: junior Co- lene Shillings, president; junior Dawn Pardieck, vice-president; sophomore Karen McNeely, secretary'; and soph- omore Kathy Dickey, treasurer. The majority of the activities shared by the French club were designed to raise money to help them reach their long range goal, a trip to France. The activities included; several bake sales, craft fairs, involvement in the teen auction, three paper drives and color- ing book sales. With the aid of these projects club members were able to share the experi- ence of fifteen days in France during late May and early June. Students spent a week of their trip living in the home of French families. This enabled stu- dents the opportunity to receive a first hand experience with French culture, although prior to the trip advisor, Mr. John Shepler. sponsored several cultur- ally related presentations. The French club also donated twenty dollars to complete a Christmas food basket and gifts for a needy fam- ily in East Columbus. French club officers were: junior Kim Andis, president; junior Rodger Burton, vice-president; and junior Jan Carteaux, secretary-treasurer. The sale of Gummie Bears, a car- wash and the sale of stationery during the Christmas season were the major money making projects sponsored by the German club. With the money earned the club bought Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets and gifts for a welfare family. The German club dancers performed several German dances for their au- dience during open house. On November 30th, club members experienced the traditional and cultural German authentic drama, music, and dance. Students attended The Music and Dance of Germany” presented by Herman Deussing, Joseph Grimm and die Lustgigen Bersteiger Schuhplatters at John Marshall High School in Indianapolis. During the Christmas season mem- bers decorated the Foreign Language Resource Center with ornaments. They also brought German Christmas music into the homes of several native Ger- man families now living in Columbus. Afterwards members enjoyed a party at the home of Mr. Wehner Rieker. Early in the Spring the club enjoyed dinner at Athenaeum, an authentic German restaurant in Indianapolis. The German club officers were: se- nior Debbie Hanner, president; senior Tami Hagemier, vice-president; and ju- nior Debbie Heller, secretary-treasurer. Joining the authentic presentation of the Ger- man club dancers, junior Troy Rondot and sophomore Debbie Wulfhorst perform during open house. 50 Language Clubs One of the French club’s bake sales, held in the Commons, allowed sophomore Tom Fin- ncr the opportunity to purchase some of the home-made cookies.

The search for a four part harmony began early in the year with auditions for the Barbershop Quartet, a new group added to the choral department. The greater percentage of Spice, the all girl choral assembly, were surpri- singly sophomores although the group is open to all grades. The girls for the group, which sing mostly popular and light music, were chosen early in the fall by director Miss Mary Clark. Both the Quartet and Spice joined the other performing choral assemblies in their concert tour of several local grade schools and Southside Junior High School. They also aided in the Spring, Fall and Christmas convocations. Together the Quartet, Swing and Concert choirs were involved with the Festival of the Trees” performance, and the Quartet, Spice and Swing choir shared the experience of per- forming at the Twilight Concert. The Barbershop Quartet’s only solo appearance was at the Homemakers Extension Luncheon. While Spice was involved in several individual appear- ances at places such as; Four Season’s Convalescent Center, Harrison Lake Country Club, and for the sorority Delta Theta Tau”. The girls involved in Spice also had the opportunity to compete in a solo ensemble contest on February 4th. On stage rehearsals in the auditorium were a necessity for junior Lori Campbell as she pre- pared herself for the many performances given by the choral department. Barbershop Quartet 53 Choral Department 'swings’ with activities The junior and senior members of Swing, Olympian and Concert choirs hosted a pitch-in dinner early in the fall to welcome and get acquainted with new members. The Olympian choir was open to students who enjoyed singing. Students did not have to audition to participate in the Olympian choir. Swing choir was a mixed ensemble composed of students in the eleventh and twelfth grades. It was a performing group and members were expected to attend extra rehearsals and perfor- mances. The group sang popular mu- sic. Previous or present choir training was not a prerequisite, but was a factor in selection of this group. Stage pres- ence, poise and ability to sell a song were also included in the selection. En- By George” was one of Swing choirs major performances. Junior Doug Gooldy, tenor, joined the other members to practice one of Gershwin’s works entitled Love.” rollment for this group was auditioned last spring.” Concert choir also auditioned their members during early spring, and the choir was limited almost exclusively to juniors and seniors. Students studied four types of music, and music reading as well as vocal development was stressed by instructor, Miss Mary Clark. The three choirs performed at Open House, plus the Fall, Spring and Christmas convocations. Through the year the choirs presented concerts to several local grade schools such as: Schmitt, Rich- ards, Taylorsville, Petersville, Smith, Fodrea, Wayne, Clifty and Southside Junior High School. The Concert choir enjoyed carolling during the Christmas season. The choir Olympian Choir: Front rou: Laura Baker. Maribcth Dcbolt. Tina Fields, Carin Campbell, Sue Clark. Suzie Nicholas.

The highlight was their presenta- tion of Gershwin’s music, entitled, By George”. Along with their joint per- formances with the other choirs, they also scheduled several solo presenta- tions. Among these were concerts for the Senior, Citizens, St. Bartholomew, St. Peter’s, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Kiawanis Club, the Exchangettes, and the Cam- era Club.

Quantity and quality; the key Olympians proceed to state On and on rolls the beat from the concert band. The music department was excited that the group had good quantity and quality. Mr. Ora Pember- ton said, Each year in the past six, the bands have become better. This year, as far as a total outlook goes, the quality is better because of the good musicians and challenging music.’’ For the first time the Marching Olympians went to state. They received a first in the early district contest held at East and this enabled the band to attend state competition. Although the ranking of the band was not very high, they made a great accomplishment by just qualifying. The band has had several fund rais- ing projects. A few of these include: District Contest held at East; Donut Sales; a Ham and Bean Supper; and Principal of the Day. These projects help to pay for instrumental repairs, as well as many other needs for the band to be active and perform well.

Spirit Boosters: Pep Band, Stage band, and Torchettes To initiate school spirit one must kindle the fire within the Olympian fans. The torch burns brightly within each person, as the pep band, the tor- chettes or the stage band performs. When the student body is brought to- gether at one of these exciting convos, one will be sure to find these groups performing. Mr. Pemberton commented on the Pep band saying, The band is better than ever because of the rehearsals that were held and the good, peppy music that we have. The band is good and we’ve been told so by many people. They like and appreciate the band at- tending school sports and activities.” The jazzy music of the stage band seems to build enthusiasm within all listeners. Although, the group is strictly volunteer, it has many dedi- cated musicians working to make it a great group. According to Mr. Pember- ton, Two years ago we had a very good stage band, and now, the band is good once again.” The highly spirited Torchettes per- form with the concert band as well as with the pep band to support the Olympians. Under the direction of Debbie Barringer, choreographer, the torchettes have become an organized group, working very hard, and deserv- ing much praise. Mr. Pemberton said, The talent of the girls is a 100 gain from the past. I am very pleased.” Also, Debbie commented, I really en- joy my work.” TORCHETTES. Front Rou: Lula Young-Bey, Beth Smiley.

Seniors gain school credits plus paychecks The profits of school can be ex- tremely beneficial to students. Through the business department students can earn not only the profits of an educa- tion, but also the profits of a paycheck. The business department offered students several opportunities. Classes ranged from the traditional typing and shorthand courses to Distributive Education. The beginning typing and shorthand courses are designed to teach students the basic fundamentals. In the ad- vanced classes, emphasis was placed on the production of materials at a speed and with a degree of accuracy com- mensurate with office production standards.” Thirty students participated in the vocational cooperative program through Distributive Education and five participated through the Office Education Association. All of the stu- dents who took part in the program were required to pass certain tests and meet several standard skills to qualify. The types of occupations the stu- dents were involved with ranged from sales personnnel for a local clothing store, to a secretary for a public ac- countant, to a switchboard operator. Steady concentration is a must for senior Linda Sandhage as she tries to remember the correct term for a quiz in her shorthand class. 60 Academics The monotony of typing seems to have caught up with sophomores Robin Combs and Bridget Wagner in the business department resource center.

Deca club competes in national convention Cash register techniques, couting change and sales tips were included in the instruction of the seventy-five ju- niors and seniors enrolled in the two year DECA program. The juniors instruction was limited to the study of the retailing estab- lishment and they were responsible for the operation of the DECA Shack lo- cated in room A230. After completing their junior year in the DECA Shack, seniors enrolled in Distributive Education. This was a cooperative program between the school and the employer. The students went to school in the morning and worked in the community in the after- noon. A related class, 'Marketing and Distribution’ was taught one hour per day. This program expanded the study of retailing and broadened into instruc- tion in distribution, marketing and management. Students were placed on jobs where they were trained in retail stores.” The Distributive Education depart- ment advisor, Mr. Dan Keown was a new addition to the business depart- ment team. Mr. Koewon had taught for two years at a high school in Mun- ster, Indiana, and in 1976 he returned to Indiana State for his master’s degree. Mr. Keown was responsible for coordinating the job activities for each student. He also paid an annual visit to each employer, listened to their eval- uations of the student’s work and ar- rived at a grade for the class. Both juniors and seniors were in- volved in two civic projects, one each semester. One of the projects the se- niors were involved with was the pur- chase of Thanksgiving food baskets for welfare families in East Columbus. The students earned the money for these projects through several fund raising activities such as a bake sale, a car wash and involvement in the Teen Auction held in the Courthouse Center during November. The district competition between fifteen Indiana schools, which was held on February 8 in Bloomington, In- diana, revolved around retailing and merchandising. Winners from district competed in March at the state Career Development Conference”. And in May those students who placed in the state competition were given the op- portunity to attend a national confer- ence in Washington, D.C. DECA 63 O.E.A. prepares secretaries and more The Office Education Association (O.E.A.) is a semi-office related class which prepares the students for the business world. It is also a vocational program providing a cooperative ven- ture between school and the community.” This year O.E.A. had the smallest enrollment ever, nineteen, all of which were seniors. And only five of these students were involved in the coopera- tive program. The students who did not work through the cooperative pro- gram spent their time in class ex- periencing mock office positions, which rotated every two weeks, and completing business related projects. The purpose was to allow each student the opportunity of experiencing several different business occupations to help the student decide on a proper career for himself. The class hosted two exchange stu- dents from Honduras this year, Dina Duron and Maribel Almendares. The girls are business majors who were sent to East to further their studies. Upon their completion of the course, Dina and Maribel will be required to spend two years teaching what they have learned at a missionary school in Honduras. The class elected officials this year were: Karen Russell, president; Sandi Settle, vice-president; Delicia Nauglc, secretary; Chris Richardson, treasurer; and Dennis Hollin, parliamentarian. Mrs. Thelma Hatfield was their advisor. Mrs. Hatfield, Karen and Sandi rep- resented East’s O.E.A. at a leadership convention on October 24th at Sey- mour High School. And on December 9th, Karen represented the O.E.A. at an advisory committee meeting of the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation. But due to the lack of proper preparation, none of the stu- dents were able to compete in the state conventions. During open house, several students participated in the O.E.A. lab demon- stration. Another activity the class shared included a tour of the In- dianapolis Blue Cross and Blue Shield building. Throughout the second semester, O.E.A. hosted several lectures by pro- fessional business personnel from the local area. O.E.A. also participated in several fund raising porjects during the past year. The most successful was the sale of Texas Manor fruitcakes during the holiday season. The class used the money they earned to purchase both Thanksgiving and Christmas food bas- kets for a welfare family in East Columbus. O.E.A.

In a true office situation, well kept records arc vital as senior Debbie Montgomery discovered during her O.E.A. class. Practicing to be a telephone receptionist was part of the learning experience for Senior Nina Brooks during her afternoons in O.E.A. lab. Academics 65 Checking the oil on the driver’s education car omores David Kerns and Scott Thclander. was a must before going out to drive for soph- Ice prevails; Roads, rinks Test students The ice helped both the physical and driver’s education classes this year in the rink and on the roads. The recently completed ice rink at Lincoln Center provided a pleasant indoor atmosphere for skating as well as returning ice skating to the Physical Education cur- riculum. The abundant supply of snow and ice on the roads helped the future drivers of Columbus learn to cope with slippery pavement and hazardous highways. Due to lack of a rink, ice skating was excluded from the P.E. schedule for two years until the completion of the Lincoln Center Ice Rink. The stu- dents were divided into three groups: Beginners, Intermediates, and Ad- vanced Skaters, to show their expertise or lack of it. Although the dancing unit was ex- tended because of the energy crisis, the students did have a chance to partici- pate in volleyball, golf, tennis, basket- ball, bowling, gymnastics, swimming, and wrestling throughout the course. Practicing in the parking lots, driv- ing simulators and completed work- sheets all lead up to one thing-driving on the roads of Columbus. The driver’s education course taught students the Basic care and maintenance of the au- tomobile. All students drive on rural, residential, and downtown roads. They also experience the excitement of driv- ing on the interstate for the first time. Intent upon the film in simulation, sophomore Kathy Phillips strives to have a perfect drive. 66 Drivers Ed Keeping her eyes on the ball, sophomore Su- P.E. class, san Lawless returns the lob to her opponent in Physical Education 67 East wins the number one team vote when compared to Columbus North which is dis- played by sophomore Mark Stapleton and se- nior Jerry Lancaster. Cheerblock spirit undying; New Cheers accompany old Stomp, stomp-dap; stomp, stomp- dap was the rhythm to We Will Rock You” which was one of the women's cheerblock’s favorite cheer to beat out and aid in supporting the bas- ketball team. Hey, Hey Let’s Jive”, From Coast to Coast” and We Are Olympians” were other cheers the cheerblock roared to the team in or- ange. Both the mens’ and womens’ cheerblock enthusiastically supported the basketball team through not only the home games but the sectional, re- gional and semi-state. Even through the tears of losing the semi-state game to Indianapolis Tech, the cheerblock backed their team. Corsages were ordered for the senior cheerblock members during the re- gional game. Another addition to the cheerblock besides the megaphone pur- chased in the beginning of the year was the orange and brown pom-poms ordered for the members. A bake sale was the project the cheerblock sponsored during the year. Cheerblock enthusiasm is shown by seniors Gary Stam and Tom Kitterman as they are tossed among the men’s cheerblock after doing the tradition (C.O.)

Both squads had many money drives such as cheese sells and book sells, to help pay expenses to camp. At camp, varsity won second place in over all-competition, six ribbons on cheers, one ribbon on talent, one rib- bon on pom pon, and one ribbon on notebook. In individual competition Diana Vickers won first place and Donna Spofford won second. The proud reserve squad came back home with three ribbons in varsity competition. More money was raised when the team’s notebook was asked to the Grand Nationals, in Michigan. Val Knotts, was asked back to the Grand Nationals for her playing on the piano. All the long hours after school and during the summer, practicing to make everything perfect, paid off as the girls cheered, for both the football and bas- ketball teams, at the games and at convos. Some of the varsity squad will be moving on to better things, some will stay, but the reserve squad will be here for us and the teams next year.

Psychology to Religion courses offered Discovering the sociological and psychological reasons for human be- havior, becoming aware of current in- ternational and American issues and the study of religious cultures were all included in the curriculum offered by the Social Studies department. Many students did not realize the opportunities provided by the social studies department went beyond the required government, economics, his- tory and traditional geography courses. When enough student interest was shown, the department offered a vari- ety of social studies” related courses. Community Focus was a course de- signed to use the community as a learning laboratory with direct in- volvement of the students. The stu- dents studied and observed the com- munity’s institutions, decisions making process, economy, and culture. Psychology allowed students the op- portunity to examine the behavior of human beings with hopes to achieve a better understanding of human behavior. Society and the Individual offered students the chance to study and eval- uate the individual and his relationship to society, institutions, social structure, and the socialization process. Sociology was a continuation of So- ciety and the Individual. The purpose of the course was to give students a perspective for examining and analyz- ing social problems. Introducing students to the major religious culture of the world was the main objective in the World Religion course. Religions studied were Hindu- ism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Maoism, Zoarastrianism, Islam, Juda- ism and Christianity. 72 Academics Representing East in the annual History Bowl Charles Plummer.

Class Officers 75 On the job training program Key to vocational success A morning of regular classes then dismissing at noon to commute into the city to work was the normal sched- ule for students enrolled in the voca- tional program. The vocational pro- gram’s on-the-job training mixed with classroom instruction proved beneficial to students who wished to broaden their curruculum beyond the walls of school. The vocational program was offered in several different areas, allowing a va- riety of student’s interests to be fulfilled. Auto Mechanics trained students to do repair work on most types of auto- motive vehicles. Included in the course was instruction and practice in diag- nosing malfunctions, disassembly of the unit, overhaul and repair of the ex- haust, brake, ignition and carbeurator systems. Through the course employ- ment opportunities were offered with auto dealerships, diagnostic center, leasing agencies and firms which main- tain large fleets of automotive vehicles. The Building Trades program was designed to train students in the areas of carpentry, plumbing, electrical wir- ing, heating and air conditioning in- stallations, masonary and roofing. After completing the course, some job op- portunities were available to enter the trades or union apprenticeship program. Distributive Education offered in- struction in sales distribution, market- ing and management. Employment op- portunities were offered in retail stores. The electronics program was de- signed to provide students with the understanding and ability to repair ra- dio and television receivers. After com- pleting the course employment op- portunities became available in the areas of service related to the entertain- ment field, electronic surveillance, ra- dio and television engineering, indus- trial production and military installations. Graphic Communications offered students many aspects of the industry. Areas included history, layout, com- position, photography, stripping, plate- making, presswork, and bindery. The employment opportunities were with private job shops, printing industries, large businesses which print their own forms, hospitals and large school systems. Industrial Cooperative Training pro- vided students with further occupa- tional of current high school courses or occupational training which was not offered in the high school by using community work stations. The occupa- tion allowed students to work at any job related to trade and industry. Machine Drafting which instructed students in the basic elements in draft- ing, included pictorial representative orthographic projection, lettering and dimensioning. Typical places for em- ployment opportunities included de- sign and manufacturing concerns of all types. The Machine Trade program quali- fied the students to operate all basic machine tools and to follow specifica- tions and blueprints. Employment op- portunities were offered at small job shops and machine shops within man- ufacturing plants. The welding program included the areas of oxacetylene welding, electric welding and exposure to other special activities such as spot welding. The employment opportunities ranged from small one or two man job shops to large metal fabricating industries. The agricultural Cooperative Educa- tion placed students in agricultural jobs in the community while under the direction of their teacher. With the supervision of instructor Mr. Hay- man, junior Greg Exner checks the power out- put of the alternator during his vocational training. 76 Academics After properly adjusting the straight edge, sophomore Mark Wilson completes his design during drafting class which is located in the Industrial Arts Department.

Academics 77 Future Farmers cultivate fun in Missouri Future Farmers National Insignia Contests played a big part in the FFA’s activities. They entered the Soil Judging Contest against Hauser, the Proficiency Contest and the Leadership Contest at Scottsburg. They also participated in livestock judging in Bartholomew County, and attended the State FFA Convention at Purdue University. The FFA paid for and built the stop sign and metal posts crossing the en- trance to the front parking lot. This contribution was put to good use by keeping cars out so buses could easily come and go. Officers of the FFA were: David Scheidt, president; Jeff Burbrink, vice- president; Larry Davis, secretary; David Bonnell, treasurer; Russell Hardin, re- porter; and Jay Fiesbeck, sentinel. A trip to Kansas City, Mo. was the year’s outstanding activity for the Co- lumbus East Chapter of Future Farmers of America. Nine members made the bus trip during a week in November, and par- ticipated in The National FFA Con- vention. They visited the Harry S. Tru- man Memorial Library, Arrowhead Stadium, The Agricultural Hall of Fame, and Allis-Chalmers Combine Division. The FFA money making project was the planting and harvesting of a 20 acre farm owned by the school system. Money earned was used for field trip expenses, officer training, and various awards given throughout the year.

Advanced Algebra opened the opportunity for junior Matt Kutch to use the teletype terminal computer in room A257. With the aid of the math department’s calcu- lators and sophomore Eva Patton’s ex- planation, sophomore John Wampler discovers the answer to his difficult problem. Conversation and chaos flowed through the resource floor as Advanced Algebra teacher Mr. Marvin Burton answers questions about the math department during open house. 80 Academics Discussing the future of the math department, Mrs. Sara Cox and Mr. Ed Tower check over outlines previously drawn up for improvements. Math classes supplemented with computers Like Algebra, Geometry and Calcu- lus, the mathematics department has changed very little. The new calcu- lators and teachers are the main change wave evident in the math resource. Unfortunately, the computer pro- gramming course was cancelled. But Advanced Algebra students did receive a two week introductory unit to the computer through use of a teletype terminal and time sharing with a downtown computer.” Interested mathematics students, who had successfully completed the traditional Geometry and Advanced Algebra classes could expand their skills with Unified Math. This is a pre- calculus course recommended for stu- dents majoring in mathematics or an- other field which requires a good back- ground in mathematics. Included in the course is a study of functions, rela- tions, college algebra and trigonometry. And for those students who still hadn’t received enough arithmetic ex- perience, they could enroll in either Calculus I II which is an in- troduction to first year college calculus or Probability and Statistics Analytic Geometry which also greatly aids any student wishing to carry this major or a related major through college. Academics 81 Displaying some of their finest works, Mr. Phillip Miller and the advanced art students show off the finished projects. Art Department offered Variety to fulfill all levels The use of acrylics, oils, water col- ors, construction paper, canvas, clay and other commonly used art materials provided the opportunity for students to express themselves in several differ- ent styles while learning new tech- niques and allowing themselves to grow artistically. The art classes offered by the depart- ment were basically divided into eight different semesters, this provided the student with as much knowledge as he or she wished to acquire. The first two semesters were de- signed to acquaint a beginning stu- dent, who had received no past experi- ence in this field, with the fundamentals of color, painting, draw- ing, print-making and designing. It was upon the experiences obtained in the first course that succeeding course curricula were based. Art three and four provided an in depth exploration of the fundamentals already begun in art one and two. Quality of presentation and the diver- gence of types of media experience were explored. It is at this point that encouragement of a professional” ap- proach and pride of craftsmanship were placed on particular individual strengths. The next two semesters of art were composed largely of art majors and mi- nors. Many different projects were suc- cessfully completed, with this greater experience students receive much more personal dialogue as a means of provid- ing them with an opportunity toward formulating a personal philosophy and goal. High standards were set by faculty and students in seeking these goals.” Art seven and eight was composed exclusively of art majors, and illustrates the finest work completed in the four year art program. This class was de- signed for personal independent study. Requirements during the class were a portfolio of varied representative work and a presentation of one-man shows in the gallery. The Special Class”, an extension of Art seven and eight was offered to stu- dents personally selected by their in- structor for their outstanding ability. The art department also offered any student who had completed art one and two or more an Art-Craft” course. Emphasis was placed on sculpturing, printing, jewelry, weaving, assemblage and ceramics, with much individual at- tention allowing the teacher and stu- dents to be on a one-to-one basis. The KISS” craze seemed to have an effect even on the art classes, as junior Tim Stadmil- ler adds the finishing touches to his portrait of Gene Simmons. Observing finished clay projects prompted art teacher Mr. Phillip Miller and junior Beth Tempest into a discussion about the use of dif- ferent clay molds. 82 Academics After careful selection of the proper materials, juniors Jennifer Ruf and Jay Fiesbeck complete their tissue paper art projects. Preparing to sew the pieces of her smock to- gether during her home economics class, senior Joan Bruner takes accurate measures for seam space. Trying to find the correct pattern to meet the requirements for home economics assignment, senior Bertha Grissom skims through a book of Simplicity patterns. 84 Academics Food, Clothing courses informed students Academics 85 The Home Economics department offered more than the traditional classes in sewing and cooking. Added to the curriculum were several courses dealing with items such as the social and psychological influences of textiles and clothing, furnishing a home and health care for family members. Homemaking based on the Con- sumer Education Foundation allowed students the laboratory experience to prepare themselves for managing hu- man and material resources such as; money, energy and abilities. The basic goal of the course was to teach the students to develop a satisfying way of living in relation to personal and group values. A continued homemaking course studied individual behavior in the con- temporary society with emphasis on understanding one’s own needs, values and attitudes toward one’s self and others. The Food and Nutrition course em- phasized the nutritive contributions, energy and energy source from the in- take of a variety of foods. Textile and Clothing allowed stu- dents to study the social and psycho- logical influences of textiles and cloth- ing with special emphasis on selection, appearance and care. A course on housing needs of indi- viduals and families with emphasis on economic, social, technological and ar- tistic considerations. Child Development students studied the physical, psychological and socio- logical development of an individual from conception to maturity. The Child Care Workers course was offered for students wishing the oppor- tunity to prepare for the variety of em- ployment related to child care centers and young children. Family Relations aided the study of child development with units dealing with the relationships in the family as it functions within the society and culture. The Family Health course explained the proper health care for a family with emphasis on protecting health, detect- ing symptoms of illness and caring for ill patients. The needlecraft course was designed for interested students, including the basic skills in various types of needlecraft. A popular course for both males and females was Living On Your Own. The course was designed for young men and women who will be living on their own after high school. Units studied were selecting a place to live budgeting, food preparation, wise con- sumerism, simple mending, simple en- tertaining, laundering, planning for marriage, household appliances and simple household repairs. For students who wished to delve further in the areas of food and nutri- tion or textile and clothing, advanced classes were offered. Patiently hooking a rug in the commons dur- ing her unscheduled time for her needlecraft class, junior Donna Burton spent several weeks on the tedious project.

Physics and Chemistry labs Boast exciting new facilities Chemistry lab created a more orga- nized atmosphere for this year’s science students than for others. New facilities made labs more enjoyable and easier.” Chemistry classes consisted of large group lectures and video tapes. Small groups were for explaining lecture notes, preparing for quizzes and labora- tory assignments such as the one on gas laws with turns and rolaids. Biology labs consisted of spit lab to dissecting pigs, crayfish, and earth- worms. The students were also allowed to prick their fingers to see the type of blood they had, while other students had the teacher prick their fingers for them. Physiology classes classes studied the parts of the body such as the heart and th digestive system. They also studied a unit on sex which taught the devel- opment of the child and its birth.

Academics 87 Small organizations, big accomplishments Although they were two of the smallest organizations at our school, the Chess Club and Junior Humane Society did not lack determination and purpose. The Junior Humane Society, about ten members large, participated in sev- eral fund raising activities throughout the year. The club’s biggest and prob- ably most enjoyable activity was a ten mile walk-a-thon through the country south of Columbus around Elizabeth- town. Other projects were a craft sale held in the mall during the Christmas season and the sale of several items dis- played in the English Resource Center window. Items included stationery and back packs with black ink animal prints transferred on them. All the money raised was given to the humane society, particularly to the animal shel- ter. Several club members spent much of their time after school and on week- ends voluntarily helping out at the an- imal shelter located at 840 South Gladstone. Another small organization, the chess club with under fifteen partici- pants, raffled off an AM.FM clock ra- dio as their fund raising project. The money earned from the activity was used as bus fare to the regional chess tournament in Bedford, Indiana, and for the purchase of a trophy. One outstanding member of the chess club, junior Greg Risk placed second in the seventh annual Indiana High School Individual Chess Junior Humane Society: sponsor Cheryl Zuck- swerdt, Susan Arbucklc, Rhonda Ollestead, Carla Ollestead, Teresa Perkins, Anita Phillips and Sylvia Cox. Championships. Greg went into the state tourna- ment which was held on December 17 at the IUPUI Center in Indianapolis, and ranked seventh in the fifty-two en- trants. Greg participated in seven rounds that afternoon. He won five matches, drew once and lost to the state champion, Mike Wiseman of Shelbyville, Indiana, and finished second. As president of the club, Greg felt this year’s team, is not as strong as those of previous years, but it was a little better balanced.” Other officers for the chess club were: senior David Hoevner, vice-president; and junior Kelly Daughtery, secretary-treasurer. Planning his strategy junior Alan Johnson outmoves his opponent as interested students observe the match. 88 Humane Society Displaying the finished magnetic rabbit, Junior Humane Society sponsor Cheryl Zuckswcrdt organized the fund raising project.

Chess Club 89 Researching for her term paper, junior Carmen Campbell finds herself swamped in reference materials. Term papers prod juniors to increase library usage It was not a stampede, but merely a gang of juniors heading for the library'. The library, which was usually a quiet and forgotten area of the resource level, suddenly burst into life when the juniors came to research for their term papers. The essays were mandatory for this year’s juniors, where former ju- niors were able to escape this mandate. Approximately five hundred juniors flocked to the library to make use of our outstanding utilities. They studied information about such great writers as Dickinson, Thoreau, Twain and other artists. Formerly used by those who wanted to study, sleep or privately socialize, the library’s usage increased ten to fif- teen percent during term paper time. After the dust had settled and the term papers were handed in, the library re- turned to normal, and was once again the quietest place in school to spend your unscheduled time. Helping bewildered juniors was a big job for librarian Don Reed as he helps Cindy Shuler on her term paper. 90 Library Front row: Cheryl Tellman, Tina Hudson. Second rou: Kelly Layman.

Role reversal; Students see Teacher’s side Although 1 had spent several weeks preparing for my first day of teaching, I still didn’t feel confident about present- ing my math lesson at Richards Ele- mentary School. I realized that twenty- nine other seniors were preparing for the same experience, as we embarked upon our teaching sites. After observing different types of classrooms, we chose the classes we wanted to teach. Having no allotted time on my schedule, I taught at any time in which there was more than one hour of free time on my schedule, which was ample time for completing the required five hours of teaching each cycle. Under the instruction of art and education instructor Bill Melvin, we met twice a cycle, where we learned the basics of conducting class and dis- cussed different teaching theories. A young elementary student gasps in amaze- ment as senior Lisa Anthony explains the homework.

Helping out in the audio visual department, senior Cindy Thickstun volunteered to type data sheets during her unscheduled time. 92 Audio Visual Audio visual and television; Departments mix productions Taping skits, advertising com- mercials, and on-location community activities were part of the learning ex- perience gained by students who worked in the audio-visual and televi- sion departments at our school. The facilities available allowed stu- dents a wide variety of opportunities in the world of communications. Inter- ested students enrolled in the Televi- sion Production course. Introduced in the one-semester class was a brief his- tory of television, the nature of televi- sion as a form of communication and social change, and the discussion of how television works. The majority of the course involved the students in ac- tual operation of the television equip- ment. Throughout the year, students televised several original school prod- uctions which they created, developed and produced. The idea of a school radio station was created by a few students and with the aid of studio and audio visual con- sultant Cliff Hess, WCER-Columbus East Radio” was developed. Standard programming of the closed circuit ra- dio included editorials, interviews, pub- lic service information and comedy in addition to selections from recordings loaned by the audience. The station also served as a showcase for student achievements. One song aired was composed, played and sung by a sophomore. Students interested in radio broad- casting received on-the-air” experi- ence along with behind-the-scene” experience in areas such as researching, writing copy, editing, backtiming and overall production responsibilities. During the recording of the Columbus East Radio Station, WCER”, sophomore Jeff Ryle and junior Marty Hensley were responsible for making sure the commercials, recording selec- tions, editorials, interviews and public service information were played during the proper time slots. Television Studio 93 Concentration and self-control enables freshman Desi Joy to maintain her balance and complete her routine on the beam. After racing down the strip and leap- ing in the air sophomore Chris Hag- emier awaits her landing during the long jump competition at the East- Scottsburg women’s track meet. The quietness and serenity of the golf course allows sophomore Greg Havill the moment of concentration needed to tee-off at a home meet. 94 Sports Wrestling is not always easy. Junior Rick Dwenger knows he faces danger and must escape his opponents grip to avoid the pin. In a daring defensive move to protect the goal, goalie Steve Geary wards off the attack of a body-checking opponent. With muscles tight for a strong lunge, junior Jeanne Cookson plans for a head start in the East-Madison women’s swim meet. The cycle of competition and the sweet taste of success increased yearly, causing us to be optimistic about our meets. After landmark victories in such sports as men’s tennis and golf, the other school” became a team which was an extra shove harder to defeat. Confidence and hope for the different sport seasons for both men and women expanded with the victories of the first cycle. The model set for future cycles is one of pride, strength, and good sportsmanship.

Volleyball 97 Team toughens as season progresses; wins final four For the first time in our six year history the varsity football team pulve- rized cross-town rival Columbus North with the score of 23-0. The Olympians unfolded the game quickly scoring six- teen points in the first four minutes; accumulating the other seven points during the third and fourth quarters. The other outstanding highlight of the season was the Bedford North Lawrence game. The gridders were trailing by eleven points with the score of 14-23. With eight minutes left in the game, a seventy-yard drive and an eighty-yard drive were made, causing the score to skyrocket fourteen points more in our favor. The Olympians concluded the season with a 3-5 record, tying for second place in the conference. Blair Kiel, Tim Kitterman and Joe Forster were chosen all-confer- ence players. The major contributing factors to the team were a consistently strong de- fense and a strengthening offense as the year progressed. Several school records were broken during the season. Senior split-end Mike Fuetterer and senior wide receiver David Perry broke the school record for pass reception, tying twenty-three catches each. Sophomore Quarterback Blair Kiel broke two other school records. Throughout the duration of the sea- son Kiel achieved a forty-five yard field goal during the Whiteland game and completed a seventy-four yard punt against Madison. Senior Joe Forster was voted the most valuable player of the season. Coach John Stafford com- mented, Joe is a very versatile defense player and performed well all year.” Coach John Stafford was happy with the results of this season and was pleased because seven starters will be back next year.

Though they lacked members, the two young teams provided their players with the experience needed to become champions in future years. Ending with a 5-4 season the reserve football team illustrated strong defen- sive and well planned offensive playing. Coach John Kessler stated, Defense has to be our strongest because we didn’t lose a lot of points to our opponents.” The high score of the Martinsville game stood out slightly as a season highlight. Overall the team played good strong football with sophomores Brian Hanner, Jerry Buchanan, Terry Smith, Rick Ross and Billy Shanon shining through as exceptional players. Considering the lack of players coach Kessler felt extremely pleased with the winning season. Two factors played important roles in keeping this year’s Cross-Country team from finishing with a .500 record. First was youth. We had a very young team including only two seniors,” commented coach Ed Tower. Second was injury' and illness. Go- ing into the last meet with Hauser and North we had a chance for a winning season, but an injury to Jeff Abplanalp, number two runner, ruined our chances. We were hurt because out- standing sophomore Doug Settle missed most of the season because of illness,” said Tower. Most Valuable Runner of the team was Alan Moore. Abplanalp was se- lected team captain. Letter winners included seniors Moore and Rick Wininger, juniors Al- planalp and Chuck Butler and soph- omores Settle and Danny Bates.

Reserve Football 101 Netters volley their way to semi-state final Finishing its finest season ever in East’s history, the men’s tennis team climbed to 17 wins and rwo losses dur- ing their season. The two losses came at the hands of cross-town rivals Co- lumbus North, who the team later up- ended in the first round of the sectio- nal, and to the number one team in the state. North Central Marion. For the first time our netters won the Hoosier Hills Conference title. They were also sectional and regional champs, and they won the first round of the semi-state only to lose to the eventual state champions North Cen- tral. The North Central match ended the netter’s 13 match streak, which was the largest in our history'. During the regular season the net- ter’s were ranked in the state for the first time. The team received rankings of 19th and 16th. The team was led by junior Matt Kutch, at number one singles, and se- nior Ted Rutan, at number two sin- gles. On the season Kutch won 17 matches and lost five while Rutan won 21 matches and only lost once. Rutan broke Kutch’s record of 24 consecutive victories with 31 wins in a row, with ten of the matches carrying over from last year. Rutan was chosen team cap- tain and was the recipientof the Robert B. Burnett Award. He was also All Conference for his third year in a row, and was chosen as a member of the tennis All-State second team. In the number three singles position was sophomore Bob Jordan, who won the decisive point over Columbus North in the Sectional. The number one doubles team consisted of senior Nick Axsom and sophomore Mark Spinks, both of which were chosen All-Conference players. The number two doubles team of Mark Richards and Greg Risk both ended with the best doubles record of any East regular doubles squad. The two doubles squads gave the netter’s what they needed to have a winning season. The thumbs up” sign expresses number one singles player Matt Kutch’s feeling on how he felt after East jolted North in the first round of the Columbus sectional. The netters went on to win the sectional, regional and advanced to the finals of the semi-state. Discussing possible strategies is senior Mark Richards and junior Greg Risk, who later put their plans to work and aid the team with the decisive point in the regional. 102 Men’s Tennis Top spinning his way to victory over his Fran- lin opponent is senior Ted Rutan, playing at number two singles.

Attentively awaiting her opponent’s serve, junior Amy Kirchoff prepares for her return. Kirchoff played No. 4 singles but lost in this match with North. Senior Jane Campbell attempts in vain to return her North opponent’s serve. Campbell played No. 2 singles in the 7-0 loss to North. 104 Women’s Tennis Hundley outstanding player; Young netters show potential Led by Junior Susan Hundley, the girls’ tennis team won three of ten matches. Many games could have gone either way. Hundley placed third in the HHC and fourth in the Sectional standings. She had the best record of any player with a 13-7 record. The team has progressed very well and after many of the girls play this summer they will improve for next season, stated Kessler. Captain was Senior Jane Campbell. MVP was Hundley. If there was a most improved player award, I guess I would give it to sophomores Carol Forster and Peg Syphers. They were both nonplayers at the start and they worked their way up to playing positions,” cited Kessler. Three seniors will be the only losses from the Olympi-Anne tennis team next year. The team consisted of six juniors, three seniors, and seven sophomores. A young team that Coach John Kessler expects to be better next year.

Although bun- nies” do not usually take to water, the women’s swim team did. This was our first winning season,” stated Coach Claudia Shafer. We had our best finish at the sectional and the relays, but a 'bad day’ at the conference meet.” Though the win-loss record did not show a winning season, many records were set. Records were set by the 200- yd. Medley relay team consisting of: se- nior Janet Dunn, juniors Dee Dee White and Julie Kelly, and sophomore Jeannie Cookson. White also broke the 200-yd. frees- tyle record with a time of 2:13.7. Sophomore Angie Maple set a new record in dividing with a point score of 173.40. White also posted a time of 1:11 for the 100-yd. butterfly. Cookson was able to better the 100-yd. backst- roke with a time of 1:11.6.

Coach Tom Hadley felt, The team had a very good season, equal to last year’s with a 5-4 record, but this sea- son held much individual improvement for the team.” Coming closer than ever before to an Olympian victory over cross town rival Columbus North, East lost 106.49-117.72. Coach Hadley felt, The North meet was one of the best all season because we led five of the seven events. It was the closest we have ever come to beating them.” Though there were some strong in- dividual performances from team mem- bers, the success can not be credited to only one or two individuals. Several in- dividuals proved to be great assets to the Olympian victories. The four member squad team of seniors Jeff Burbrink, Jeff Patterson, Tom Kitter- man and Gary Stam set a new Indiana high school record in the vaulting event. The squad remained undefeated in the number one position all season. Two truly outstanding team mem- bers throughout the season were Stam and Kittcrman. Stam remained unde- feated on the vault during the dual meets. Both Stam and Kitterman were defeated only once throughout the en- tire season. Stam placed first on vault and third on sidehorse during the sectional, Kit- terman placed second on vault, Patter- son placed fifth on vault, while senior Randy Isgrigg and junior Jim Donnell placed third and sixth respectively on the trampoline. Representing East in the state com- petition, Kitterman and Stam placed third and fourth respectively on vault, while Stam placed third on sidehorse and Isgrigg placed seventh on the trampoline. Kitterman and Stam were voted co- captains of the 1977-78 men’s gymnas- tics team and juniors Tim Fields and Donnell were chosen co-captains for the 1978-79 season. Letters this season were earned by seniors Stam, Kitterman, Patterson, Burbrink, Isgrigg, and Mike Briner. Also juniors Fields, Donnell, Jim Chambers and Charles Plumber.

We would like to take you back to some of the sport’s highlights of the ’77-’78 season. We are not here to judge who is the better athlete male or female. But the girls finished second in the HHC, while the men finished third. Here are some facts, judge for yourself. Football: Sophomore quarterback Blair Kiel led the Olympians to their first victory over North, 23-0. Volleyball: Senior LeAnn Scudder led the girls to the Sectional where they were defeated by North. Men’s Tennis: Senior Ted Rutan and junior Matt Kutch led the team to semi-state. Rutan had the best record with 31 wins. Women In Sports Women’s Gymnastics: Juniors Dawn Jenkins and Cheryl Owsley ad- vanced to Regional. Owsley went on to qualify for State. Men’s Gymnastics: Senior Gary Stam remained undefeated in the side horse until the Regional. Men’s Basketball: This sport brought in more money than either other sport. Seniors David Reed and Ted Rutan both received honors as they led the team to semi-state for the second year. Women’s Track: Sophomore Maria Stack was the lone qualifier for State in both the softball throw and shot-put. We’ve presented the facts, it’s up to you to choose. But whatever your deci- sion we believe that this year’s crop of athletes is the best ever at East. ... 114 Men vs. Women Men vs. Women 115 Seven advance to regional; New Albany upset in HHC Unexpectedly the Olympi-Anne track team upset the 20 point favorite, New Albany, in the HHC. They were favored to win by 20, but we beat them by three,” cited Coach Bill Barnes. We’re the only girls’ team at East to win their Conference.” The Olympi-Annes were led by Sophomore MVP Maria Stack, who broke records in both the shot put with a put of 37 7”, and in the softball throw with a throw of 254’6”. Soph- omore Lisa Ritzline set a new school record in the mile with a time of 5:55.5. The team was predominantly soph- omores, which looks promising for the two to three seasons coming up,” stated Barnes. We didn’t try for dual meets. We worked for the Conference and Sectional. We probably could have won a couple more dual meets, if that was what we wanted.” Advancing to the regional were ju- nior Lisa Scheidt and Stack in the shot put. In the 880 Relay, sophomore Ro- xanne Sipes, Stack, senior Kim Mat- lock, and junior Yvette Edge. Soph- omore Lisa Renner advanced in both the hurdles and high jump. Junior Kathy Neal advanced in the 440, while Stack advanced in the softball throw. Stack was the only East qualifier. She advanced to state in softball and shot put. Stack finished first in softball and second in shot put. Co-captains were seniors Tami Hag- emier and Matlock. Most Improved was sophomore Jenny McClure who knocked 35 seconds off her half mile”.

Rcmkter breako record; reqm experiences best season yet Breaking four track records, tying two and finishing the closest ever against cross town rival Columbus North were the major highlights expe- rienced by members of the men’s track team during the spring season of 1978. Senior Jim Murray broke the record in the low hurdles with the time of 41.5 seconds. Senior Gary Stam broke the record on the high jump when he successfully cleared six feet and six inches. With a fourteen feet six-inch pole vault, senior Tom Kittcrman broke the previous record in that event. And junior Tom Banister broke the long jump record with a twenty- two feet one inch jump. Tying two previous records were junior Joseph Johnson-Bey and Banister in the 100 yard dash and Murray in the high hurdles. During an exciting tense meet the Olympians came the closest ever to a victory over Columbus North but lost, 62-65. East placed first in the Shelbyville Relays, second in both the Seymour Relays and Conference meet, fifth in the Columbus North Relays and third in the sectional. Winning places in the sectional to qualify for regional com- petition were Banister in the long jump, 100 yard dash and 220 sprint, Kittcrman in the pole vault and soph- omore Terry Smith in the pole vault. During the banquet held for track members Murray was voted team cap- tain, Banister was voted Most Valuable Member and senior Alan Moore re- ceived the Mental Attitude award. Men’s Track 119 Matmen finish on top;Woodall undefeated With tight grips, quick flips, and determination, the wrestlers win their first victory over Hoosier Hills Confer- ence Champions Jennings County. The Olympians had one undefeated mem- ber throughout the regular season and seven members to place in the sectional during the 1977-78 wrestling season. With the varsity matmen finishing 8-7 and the reserves finishing 8-3-1, Coach John Stafford said, This year was basically spent rebuilding the team. The team did a very good job consid- ering there were only four seniors. The reason we were able to come up with a winning record is the fact that the young sophomores were able to win.” One of the highlights came early in the season, during the second match, when for the first time in Olympian history the wrestlers were able to defeat Jennings County 33-29- The varsity squad finished third in the sectional with seniors Donny Woodall and David Perry champions in the 115 and 155 pound weight class respectively. Other varsity Olympians who placed in sectional competition were sophomore Steve Hyman in the 98 pound weight class, junior Rick Dwenger in the 177 pound weight class, junior David Slate in the 185 pound weight class, and senior Fritz Fortner in the heavy weight competition. Sophomore Mike Altiere placed third in the regional competition, the highest individual Olympian achieve- ment in the tournament. Donny Woodall had remained un- defeated throughout the regular season and sectional, but was beaten by his opponent during the regional tourna- ment. Donny was chosen the Most Valuable Player and David Perry and Ned Green were elected co-captains of the team. Undefeated in season matches, senior Donny Woodall displays the strength and concentra- tion needed to overcome another opponent. | Oil IS VARSITY WRESTLING 8-7 OPP j ! 46 Bedford 21 !

This included first time ever wins over previous champions; Martinsville, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Lawrenceburg, Southport and Rushville. Senior Rod Reed led the Olympians to a third place finish in the conference meet held at Cascades Municipal Golf Course in Bloomington. Reed’s score of 78 and a ten foot putt to par the first hole during playoffs placed him fourth in the six man All-Hoosier Hills Conference Golf Team. Soph- omore Greg Havill, who scored a 79, also placed in the top ten golfers while junior Brian Murphy shot an 82. Se- nior Harold Foster finished with an 83 and sophomore Mike Altiere came in with an 84. Coach Robert Gergley felt, The bi- ggest disappointment for the team was not making it out of the sectional. And the biggest disappointment for myself was losing seniors Foster, Reed, Jim Galbraith, and Dan Patton. They were all super individuals and good leaders.” Coach Gergley also stated, Pros- pects for next year are excellent with experienced member such as soph- omores Altiere, Havill, Bob Billany and Ken Wcichman, and junior Mur- phy, Bob Runner, Mike Sallee and Tony Turone returning.

Women’s Basketball 125 Netters sweet sixteen members once again Olympians 6-lim-pi-ans n. a skilled, strong victorious team.” So much can be written about the 1977-78 Columbus East High School’s mens’ basketball season. With a 19-8 record it is difficult to highlight just one or two games. Each win was a masterpiece in itself, executed to near perfection by greatly gifted well dis- ciplined athletes. Such masterpieces were; trampling the holiday Tourney favorite Munster, 64-42, and returning to beat host Frankfort, 79-65, captur- ing their first holiday tournament championship and disposing of cross- town rival Columbus North with a nineteen point victory during the Hardwood Havoc” game Finishing with a 3-3 record, hast tied Floyd Central and Bloomington North for third in the Hqpsier Hills Conference. The Olympians lost the title contention early by fortciting to New Albany, by being defeated bv Bedford during the second week of the season and by Floyd Central two weeks later. The young Olympians, with only four seniors, were one of only two teams to defend their semi-state cham- pionship title after winning their sec- ond straight sectional and regional tournaments. They’re the gutsiest team we’ve played all year. They made us look bad. They were outmanned at every' posi- tion, but they sure had a lot of will power and determination. They were superbly coached. 1 feel very fortunate we won,” stated Indianapolis Arsenal Tech’s coach, Ernie Cline, after his team defeated the Olympians during the semi-final semi-state round, 61-58, after leading East by thirteen points with three and a half minutes left in their final quarter With tears of sad- for his twenty feet outsit starting forward senior Dav ness and excessive pride, faithful fans watched the Olympians walk off the Hinkle Field House basketball court for the final time, of the season, know- ing that the four seniors David Reed, Ted Rutan, Kelvin Frye, and Ed Bcr- gsickcr would never return Crediting only one individual tor the success of the Olympians was im- possible. However, probably the major factor was the fine coaching staff con- sisting of: Lou Giovanini, head coach for six years; Roger Reed, assistant coach for six years; Murray Men- denhall, assistant coach tor one year; and Marvin Burton, trainer for six tears. Noted shots, Reed was the Olympian’s leadi scorer, averagine 16.7 points per game. Reed was selected the Frankfort Holi- day Tournament’s Most Valuable- Player, a member of the all-Columbus sectional, all-Columbus regional and the Republic’s all-scmi-state teams, re ceived Hoosicr Hills Conference honors and all-state honorable mention. The skilled leader of the Olympian offensive four corner delay, starting guard senior Ted Rutan averaged thir- teen points per game, many of which originated at the charity stripe Rutan received Hoosier Hills Conference hon- orable mention, was selected to the all- Columbus sectional and all-Columbus regional teams, and was voted by the Indiana basketball coaches to receive the honor of being a member of the state all-academic team and all-state honorable mention. One of the tallest Olympians, start- ing center junior Todd Nelson was East’s leading rebounder and averaged 8.7 points per game. He was also se- lected to the all-Columbus regional The only starting sophomore, for- ward Mark Spinks aided in rebounding and averaged 5.8 points per game. Aiding Rutan in the four corner of- fensive delay, startingBguard junior Mark Jackson averaged 4.8 points per game. Coming from the bench, senior guard Kelvin Frye who averaged 4.4 points per game, put strong defensive pressure on the opposing players. Junior forward, Troy Burbrink pro- vided sparks from the bench to become one of East’s leading rebounders. Bur- brink was selected to the all-Columbus regional team. The only sophomore to be selected to all the all-Columbus sectional, all- Columbus regional and the Republic’s all-scmi-state teams and the only Olympian to be selected to the ail-In- dianapolis semi-state team was forward Blair Kiel. He proved to be a con- sistently i strong physical player. Kiel came from the bench to add eighteen points to the Olympian scoreboard during the regional and sixteen points during the semi-state. Aiding the Olympians throughout the season were senior forward Ed Ber- gsieker and junior-center Jack Wilker- son. Elevated for the sectional, regional and semi-state tournaments were re- serve junior forward Brian Dooley and sophomore guard Bobbie Christman. Though East was lacking three points at Hinkle Field House the Olympians did not lack pride and love for their team as proven by the cheer- block and East fans with a standing ovation lasting over twenty minutes prior to the game and a Columbus” cheer to salute the team during the fi- nal round of the Indianapolis semi- state tournament.

The team’s success this year can be at- tributed to the forty-nine percent field goal shooting, good aggressive defense and a dedication by each player for self-improvement for the overall suc- cess of the total East basketball program.” The starting five for the Olympians, which remained undefeated at home, were sophomore guard Mark McCory, sophomore guard Bobbie Christman, sophomore forward Phil Jackson, ju- nior forward Brian Dooley and junior center Jack Wilkerson. The starting five were aided throughout the season with talent from the bench performed by; sophomore forwards Glen Spinks, Chris Robinette, Doug Kammon and Jerry Buchanan, sophomore guards Jeff Gullett and Greg Havill and junior guard Tom Banister.

Varsity irons out problems; In the end, it’s extra effort that usually separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more than that too. It starts with a complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, dis- cipline and self-sacrifice. And finally it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together and even if you don't win, how can you lose?’’ Jesse Owens Overcoming a late start, injured players and rainy weather conditions, the varsity baseball team finished with a 19-7 winning season. Highlights of the season came dur- ing the close double header victory over Providence, 3-2 and 10-9 after being behind 9-2 in the third inning, and defeating Bloomington North who later won the Hoosier Hills Conference. Forgetting about Grad Night” at King’s Island on May 19, 1978, coach Lou Giovanini scheduled the Franklin game for that same evening. Com- peting with a team of underclassmen the Olympians were still able to defeat their opponent, 4-2. Sophomore pitcher Blair Kiel proved exceptionally strong through this game as he suc- cessfully pitched the entire seven innings. Senior pitcher Mike McCory had a five-two pitching record going into the sectional on May 31, 1978. The best batting averages belonged to senior Ted Rutan followed by Kiel and senior Brad Redman with .520, .474 and .448, respectively. Varsity Baseball 131 East athletes finish high in In 1971, Columbus High School split into two schools, North and East. After the division took place, North’s athletic teams remained in the South Central Conference, while East, the new school, was without a conference. Meanwhile, in other schools of southern Indiana, the athletic teams were wanting to form a new confer- ence, because of excessive growth, dis- satisfaction or because they didn’t be- long to a conference. Thus, the Hoosier Hills Conference was formed, with Columbus East, Jennings County, Bedford-North Lawrence and Madison being the charter members. Later, three other schools requested admittance to the HHC for various reasons and were accepted. Floyd Central wanted to transfer to our conference after they had outgrown theirs. New Albany, a previous SCC member, decided to be- come a member of the HHC. Bloo- mington North was the new school in town and didn’t belong to a confer- ence, so they joined ours. Columbus East, Jennings County, Bedford-North Lawrence, Madison, Floyd Central, Bloomington North, and New Albany are the present mem- bers of the Hoosier Hills Conference. These seven schools participate in a to- tal of fourteen different sports; nine for men and five for women. Throughout the respective seasons, a tournament of some sort is held to crown the confer- ence champion of the sport. Each school receives points, depending on how they finish in the tournament. After the women’s tennis and men’s baseball champions are crowned, the points are tabulated and compared. The school that has earned the most points receives an award called the All Sports Trophy” In the running for the 77-78 All Sports Trophy, the Olmpi-Annes fin- ished a close second to the New Al- bany women, while the men placed third behind Bloomington North and New Albany. The women’s track team was the forte for the women’s athletics this year. Although the Olympi-Annes were seeded second, by twenty points, behind New Albany, they produced a three point upset, defeating the Bull- dogs 88-85.

After defeating Blooming- ton North and Jennings County, the Olympi-Annes fell to New Albany 86- 40. Two sophomores, Lisa Ritzline and Maria Stack were named to the All Conference team. The lone champion from the men’s side of the conference was the tennis team. Ted Rutan was the only singles’ champion from East, with Mark Spinks and Nick Axsom being the doubles’ champs. Tom Banister, Tom Kitterman and Mike Briner helped the men’s track team to a second place finish behind New Albany. Banister, a junior, won the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash and the long jump in the conference meet. Kitterman won the pole vault and Bri- ner captured a first in the quarter mile dash. 132 Hoosier Hills Conference Hoosier Hills Conference 133 Many sporting events drew spectators, but the women’s swim team intrigued the se- nior guys, such as Dan Bishop, Brad Redman, Brian Haseldon, and Brian King, the most.

The faculty and the students operate together to shape different learning spheres every cycle. Breaking the straight learning habit teachers attempted to inform their pupils with contemporary and memorable lessons. The last year in the first cycle introduces new, talented teachres to help complete the modular system. Pieces of love were not only scattered through the teacher’s lessons, but through the entire student body. M People Now and then seniors such as Susan Moody and Gary Stam, growing tired of the studying routine, choose to so- cialize on the resource floor. Senior memory books, sold by Herff Jones, provides Steve Durham, Linda Moore, and Lisa Umphress with memorable verses to re-capture their high school days in years to come.

People 135 Foreign exchange students experience American living Fast food establishments, American ice cream flavors, active and spectator sports, and television commercials have made lasting impressions on the three foreign students who have made their home in Columbus the past year and have attended our school. Gary van Wyk, of Johannesburg, South Africa, stayed with Dr. and Mrs. Walter Able. Gary enjoyed the many activities our school and town had to offer. I had a really great time,” said van Wyk. He is feeling ambivalent about leaving and was torn between two worlds. Soon, though, his friends will be coming to visit him in South Africa along with his American family. Two girls from Honduras sponsored by Methodist churches lived with Co- lumbus families and attended our school. Dina Duron stayed with Blanch Henry, and Maribel Almendares with Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Percifield. They plan to be bi-lingual secretaries after graduating. The two girls really enjoyed sports in the United States.” I really like basketball and all of the en- thusiasm, but I still don’t understand football; we don’t have football.” said Miss Duron. It was a unanimous agreement that they had enjoyed living in Columbus homes and going to our school on their visit to the United States. Presenting the class with information about the Honduras culture, Dina Duron and Mari- bel Almendares answer questions from classmates. I T American Field Service exchange student Gary van Wyk enjoys his active life here and says he will miss his American friends when he returns to his homeland South Africa. 136 AFS IN MEMORIAM r w CHERYL DURHAM ; Realities of life show their grief- stricken faces to the friends and rela- tives of senior Cheryl Durham. After a tragic car accident Cheryl Durham was critically injured and died in the hospital on April 15, 1978. Cheryl will be remembered for her positive attitudes of life, she was active and fun-loving. Cheryl enjoyed sports such as tennis, skiing, and bicycle rid- ing. In 9th grade Cheryl broke the Southside swim record for 200yd. breaststroke. Her record is still unbroken. Besides the sports, Cheryl was one for meeting people. She was pleasant and easy-going. She participated in Spanish Club for two years. Cheryl was able to go to Mexico with Spanish Club her sophomore year and enjoyed her vacation very much. Cheryl was the kind of girl who al- ways had a smile on her face and would do anything for you. She loved life and lived it well. The good times and the bad times just won’t be the same without her.” Quoting one of Cheryl’s close friends seems to sum up the feelings shared by all who knew her. Cheryl will long remain in the memories of those who loved her. Memoriam 137 Advanced Algebra broughr problems for soph- omore Mark Spinks. But with the aid of Mr. Dixon’s explanation the equation quickly dis- solved into the solution. High school found change in traditional sophomore lives For most students, Junior to Senior High was a giant leap and it took a lot of time, patience and adjusting. This year was no exception. Changing from the traditional schedule to the six day cycle was quite an adventure in itself. This gave some variety to our class load, making each day unique. Added to this was the unknown thing called free time-which wasn’t as free as it sounded. Sophomores who didn’t make the honor roll were con- fined to the Resource Floor to study. Those who did make good grades earned the special privilege of relaxing in the commons. Sophomores made a tremendous contribution from the athletic stand- point. Enthusiastic effort was put forth by girls as well as boys in all fields of sports. We’ve made it through the good as well as the bad, the victories and the defeats, the tragedies and the triumphs. Through it all we’ve stood tall and stuck together as a proud sophomore class. Bob Abbott, Jan Abplanalp, Pam Acton, John Adkins, Su- san Albietz, Anita Aldred, Robin Allman, and Mike Altiere.

That class was orientation instructed by the assistant principals, Mr. Max Moore and Mr. Wilbur Albietz; the guidance counselors. Miss Donna Cal- vin, Mr. Harry Miles, and Mr. Duane Anthony; and the deans, Mr. Joe Giovanini and Mr. Robert Gergley. There were sixteen sections with twenty-eight to thirty-five individuals in each group. In the fall of 1976, the North Cen- tral Association of Secondary' Schools evaluated the school’s schedule and format. The NCASS concluded that needed was some sort of orientation program for the sophomores’ adjust- ments from junior high to high school and particularly the set-up here. The faculty had previously realized the need for an informative program. With the ideas and hard work from Mr. Mikel Lewman, A.V. Co-ordinator of the BSCS, Miss Calvin Mr. Joe Giovanini, and Mr. Albietz, Orienta- tion was created. The teachers of the informative course conferred during the summer of 1977, and previewed the suggested filmstrips and worksheets that would be suitable and beneficial to the sophomores and any other stu- dents that were new to the building and the modular system. Approximately five hundred soph- omores met in weekly sessions for the first semester and as a result, it is an- ticipated that they will 1) make better use of their time and function more ef- fectively and responsibly. 2) display im- proved study skills. 3) be able to iden- tify and demonstrate a greater awareness of life skills. Once a six day cycle, the students met for 45 minutes. The class covered almost everything from an attitude to assessment to listening skills. Although it is a required course, no grade is given.

From pedaling to soaring Have you ever wondered how it would feel to soar through the sky like a bird? For many, that’s a feeling they can only dream about, but sophomore Wendy Wolf is one of the lucky people who has had the opportunity to experience it. One of Wendy’s many hobbies is hang-gliding. Her only regret about this sport is she hasn’t had the chance to do much of it this year. She contin- ued, In seventh and eighth grade 1 did it all the time. My family and I would fly up to Warren Dunes, Michi- gan, for a week-end or over vacation from school and during, the summer.” Wendy is also active in several other sport related hobbies. She enjoys water skiing on the lakes west of Columbus. A more unusual sport for this area is scuba diving, which takes her to St. Paul, an old quarry about sixty miles from Columbus, or to Lake Michigan. Biking is the hobby Wendy is most involved in. Most of her family, ex- cluding her father, are active in biking. She claimed, My mom is the one who got me started in it.” Wendy is a member of The Driftwood Valley Wheelmen,” a club designed to pro- mote biking, especially for long dis- tances. The club bikes the year around, except when the roads get icy and haz- ardous throughout the duration of winter. Last May Wendy participated in what was probably her longest non- dub sponsored marathon, the Tosov”. It is an annual race which starts in Co- lumbus, Ohio, and proceeds for 210 miles to Portsmouth, Ohio. Wendy’s father, a pilot, flight in- structor and owner of a PT 23 Fair- child WWII, is teaching his daughter how to fly and parachute from the plane. Wendy has plans to start work- ing on her pilot’s license next year. Daily biking helps keep sophomore Wendy Wolf in shape for her long distance rides sponsored by the Driftwood Valley Wheelmen. 142 Sophomores Marsha Lucas, Janna Lykins, Linda Lyons, Robyn Mahoney, Clinton Mann, Bobby Man- ning, Angie Maple, and Carol Marcus.

Sophomores 145 American Heritage becomes four letter word to juniors American Heritage wasn’t a four let- ter word, but according to juniors there couldn’t have been a worse one. Junior year seemed to be the hardest of all school years. English and History classes combined made it an interesting year, if not a difficult one. American Heritages were monthly publications about history that had to be read, written and reported on ever)' week if one was planning on receiving a passing grade. In comparison to the sophomore year, more responsibility was given to each junior. Some felt the teachers were too demanding. More books had to be read each nine weeks for English, and the learning package test had to be passed in order for the student to re- ceive credit. It seemed as if unsche- duled time was non-existant. Homework in both classes to- gether, plus that of other classes builds up, said junior Jim Donnell. Whatever their reasons, many ju- niors were glad to see the year end. Hey sophomores! Good Luck next year. You’ll need it!

There were American Heritages which took up most of the unscheduled time. The better side of the year was that the juniors were no longer called 'turkeys’ or looked down on. The sophomores received the harass- ment juniors once received when they were in their shoes. Enjoyment of throwing water balloons at the soph- omores instead of being bombed the day before Thanksgiving came with the advancement to second place. The middle class of high school was still considered inferior by the seniors, but next year the juniors will be trans- formed into the upper classmen. As sophomores, the juniors were hesitant about going to the hangouts such as Pascjuales, but after their pro- motion it was hard to keep them away. Juniors were more confident and didn’t feel the loneliness of the 'turks’. More parties were open to them, so they left the empty nights of watching television. The sophomore year was exciting, being the first year of high school. Ju- nior year was trying because of the ex- tra homework, but spiccy since there was more respect. Next year will be the final piece in the puzzle; it is up to the individual to make it fit. Jim Hill, Bill Hill, Barbara Hoes man, Wade Hooten, Carl Hoover, Sherrie Howard.

It was the one evening of the year that one could for- get all his problems by spending a magical evening with that special someone. The unique thing about your junior year at the prom was the satisfaction of knowing that your class had planned the whole thing. Juniors from both North and East got together to make arrangements for the time, place, and the band who would play. Members of the prom committee were: Dawn Pardieck, Dawn Jenkins, Susan Bierlein, and Lula Young-Bey from East; Tom Weinland, Eric Weisenberger, Doug Hawes, and Tracy Haddad represented North. While plans for the prom were still in the making, juniors had already be- gun looking forward to it. Junior Beth Tempest said, I’m looking forward to it because it only happens twice in a lifetime. I just hope I get to go.” Another junior added, I experi- enced the prom atmosphere last year by- watching the prom-goers enter the Commons. Ever since then I have greatly anticipated the 1978 prom, which I could attend.” As the excitement grew and the plans had been taken care of, the only thing left to do was sit back and wait for that wonderful night to come. Juniors 153 Seniors Plan for Party; Principal Pays Nifty Fifties’ tunes and Rock vibra- tions bounced and ricocheted between the dancers in the East gym during the Senior Class Party. I was immediately drawn into the music’s web by its al- luring beat. I wanted to jump right in the middle of the action, but I noticed some friends gathering in the corner. I decided to stroll over and mingle with them. On my way I happened to over- hear two guys talking about the door prizes being offered. Yeah, but 1 can’t wait to get my hands on the $50 prize, I have big plans.” If I win, I will put up the money for new speakers.” Or how about having a party of our own?” Where is the money for the door prizes coming from, anyway?” Mr. Houston, the principal, do- nated it out of his own pocket.” Their conversation made me think back. I remembered the 'pep’ con- vocation we had at school during foot- ball season. Mr. Barnes led each class in a cheer that would leave one class a winner of $200. The sophomores surprised everyone with their enthusiasm. No one ex- pected them to be such stiff com- petition, but they showed that they were loyal Olympians. The juniors took their turn rivaling for the $200 goal. I thought that the excitement of the student body must have prompted them to prove their worth. Following the underclassmen, the seniors breathed in deep and bellowed out their answer to the judges. Seniors, seniors, what do you say?” We’ve got a team going all the way.” I yelled until my face turned red from the strain. I remembered a smart remark about 'who had the biggest mouths in the school.’ The students waited impatiently for the judges to reach a decision. But be- cause of their difficulties, the judges asked for a repeat performance. Finally the winners were recorded. Mr. Houston fooled the sophomores and juniors by teasing them about winning. But, naturally the seniors had won! Do you want to go get something to eat?” This brought me back to con- sciousness of the party. Sure.” My friends and I waited in line awhile and talked to everyone who passed by. As the line cleared, I decided that all I wanted was a glass of punch, but it was hard to turn down the do- nuts and cookies. While the door prizes were drawn and announced, there was a mass hys- teria of screams and cheers. The lucky winners of the prizes were Barb Roth, $50; Scott Chesnut, $25; Nick Axsom, $15; and Kellie Hudecek, $10. The last slow dance of the evening set off the mood perfectly, at least for me. It’s funny to think that yelling ac- tually paid off for once. CHUCK ABBOTT-Conccrt Band 2,3; Jazz Band 3; Football 1,2,3,4; Base- ball 1,2,3; Cheerblock 2,4.

Although the scores have been declining for fourteen years, educators are only now recognizing the situation and attempting to explain. Scholastic Aptitude Tests are general information tests designed to give col- leges an estimate of a student’s in- telligence. Most colleges in the eastern part of the United States require the SAT scores before accepting appli- cations of freshmen. Seniors who took the SAT in 1963 were a chosen few who planned their careers around college. They were in the top 10 of their class and very seri- ous about their studies. In later years the test was made available to whomever wished to take it. Since anyone could take the SAT, over-all averages dropped because of the wider range of scores. This distin- guishes between the test averages and the actual intelligence of seniors. Facts to back up this implication were needed, so an Advisory Panel of 21 professionals in education was es- tablished. Results were as follows: 1. Larger range of students taking test come from varied backgrounds. 2. Student absenteeism results in poorer education and preparation for tests. 3. Electives offered tend to detract from major study areas. 4. Changes in family structure puts less emphasis on grades and also causes anxiety which distracts students. 5. Impact of television on people and their spending leisure time staring at boob tube” instead of reading. 6. Full-and part-time jobs are filling students’ spare hours. According to Mr. Anthony, Guid- ance Counselor, these facts must be taken into consideration before judging any student on his intelligence. Statistics may show a decrease in scores, but that was caused by the in- creased number of students taking the test. Many kids take it just to see how they can do or because their friends took it.” If all conditions were considered and real intelligence was compared, con- clusions would show that seniors are no lower in academic ability than those of the past.

SENIORS 177 Figuring class schedules for sophomores, assis- tant director of student activities Robert Ger- gcly adds the needed changes. Relaxing for a few minutes Harry Miles, guid- ance counselor, enjoys reading a feature article in a current periodical. Houston becomes principal; School policies change little Little change took place in the ad- ministration department throughout the year. The major adjustment was the introduction of our new principal, Philip Houston. A native of Rich- mond, Indiana, Mr. Houston taught in Conncrsvillc, Richmond, Brookville and Plymouth before accepting the po- sition as principal at East. Director of Guidance, Wilbur Al- beitz and assistant principal Max Moore, who have been a part of the administration since East opened, helped Mr. Houston become ac- quainted with our school. Mr. Hous- ton stated, We tried to have a good atmosphere for students to learn, be- cause that is why we are here in the first place.” Aiding the other administrators, Joe Giovanini, Director of Student Activi- Stumpcd for a moment, director of student ac- tivities, Joe Giovanini looks for the answer in handling an administrative problem. ties, fulfilled his major job of taking care of student attendance and dis- cipline but also became involved with the prom, plays, convos, graduation, club and ESA activities. Robert Gergely, Assistant Director of Student Activities, explained the ad- ministrative positions,” I feel that for one to be successful, one must contrib- ute to the overall society. Everyone has a role to play. The idea of education is to find that role. Teaching fulfills my philosophy and allows us to help stu- dents at East to find their roles.” Also helping students to find their roles were guidance counselors Donna Calvin, Duane Anthony and Harry Miles. Together the counselors worked with students helping them finish high school successfully and plan their fu- ture careers. Even guidance counselor Donna Calvin was involved in Reading Day” during April as she found time to catch up on some pleasure reading. Involved in the Bicentennial Series” Max Moore, assistant principal chose the final issue to enjoy during Reading Day”. 178 Faculty Pointing sophomore Debbie Neville in the proper direction, principal Philip Houston aided her in finding the proper sophomore file to check on her class schedule. Always finding the time to stop and talk to the students on the gallery level, director of guidance Wilbur Albeitz discussed the rc- school activities with juniors Carmen Campbell and Brian Dooley. Throughout all the literature received in his office, Duane Anthony, guidance counselor, found an interesting informative article in one of the periodicals delivered to his desk.

Faculty 179 Five talented new teachers complement activities, staffs Five talented staff members were added to improve the educational pos- sibilities of the student body. These young complements have rewarded us with assistance to several extracurricu- lar activities. The sponsorships of these new faculty members included a wide variety of activities. Dan Keown added to his educating career by teaching and sponsoring the Distrubutive Education Sales here. An addition to the Math depart- ment was Bill McMahan. Mr. McMahan has had eight years of teach- ing in two community schools, one in Cow-den, Illinois, and the other school was in Paoli, Indiana. He is using his coaching abilities to assist our boy’s track team. A new face to the adviser position in the publications office is William Bohall. Mr. Bohall’s prior commitment was to a high school in Northbrook, Illinois. Photography and Journalism are other teaching duties he fulfills. Francis Hughes is not a new staff member of the school corporation. Mr. Hughes has taught at the three Jr. High School’s and has now joined the Biology and Advanced Biology staff. A welcome interruption in the male pat- tern of teachers hired, was Yvonne Ke- nyon. Although this is her first year in Columbus’ school system, she has taught in one of the Indianapolis High Schools. Presently Ms. Kenyon is the PVE Coordinator. She has also re- warded our women’s volleyball team by being their coach.

Smoking cigarettes in the restrooms would be an easier way of receiving study hall this year than in the past. Not because cigarette smoking by stu- dents in school hasn’t always been for- bidden, but because parents have vol- unteered their services to regularly check restrooms and corridors. Parents not only found themselves on duty around the school, but teach- ers also were drafted into gallery level, parking lot, cafeteria, restroom and third floor patrol. Overall, according to Mr. Joe Giovanini, director of student activi- ties, this year’s behavior and general at- mosphere was much better. Students were restricted from many areas, by patroling teachers, they had been free to roam before, high school sweethearts would not sit in stairwells or in third floor rooms and make out.” Teachers often times stood over students who were collecting trays left on tables, because they had been caught redhanded leaving their trays. In fact, it would be nothing to see Mr. Phillip Houston, principal, or Max Moore, assistant principal, cruising through the parking lot and stopping students escaping from school. Several students in study hall when questioned about why they were imprisoned there would just sigh and say, they caught me leaving.” Another dreaded task for teachers besides patrolling off limit” areas, is sitting in study hall. Study hall was an effective way of punishing students for disobeying and falling grades, but in some cases, it was a way of punishing teachers. When Mr. Houston came this year, he devised many new ways to keep our school orderly. Some of the new rules were assets, the other rules will take time to be accepted as a new tradition of controlling student behavior. Claudia Shafer, Language Arts John Stafford, Dr. Ed. P.E.

Lorene Reynolds, and Joan Pfieffer Custodians, cafeteria combat crunch” From February to March the Mid- west was crippled by what was consid- ered an energy crunch.” Even though the coal miners were striking, they soon realized that life must and could, continue even with the restricted flow of electricity. The custodians, whose job it was to keep the school clean, continued their day to day tasks during the two critical months. After the en- ergy crunch” hit, Public Service noti- fied Dr. Heyerdahl and other adminis- trators that the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation must cut their usage by fifty percent. There- fore, the custodian staff completed the vacuuming and minor repairs during school hours rather than evenings to save on lights. Mr. Ed Ness, head cus- todian, felt the school learned a valu- able lesson from the crunch”, he claims, We learned to live with less light, and we plan to continue through next year as long as it doesn’t hamper education.” As for vandalism, there was a great decrease this year from previous years. Water fountains mysteriously falling” out of their cases did not follow the pattern of other years. Mr. Ed Ness felt that vandalism was way down this year due to the students showing more pride in their school.” Can you imagine cooking enough food for approximately fourteen hun- dred students and teachers, let alone washing dishes and flatware, serving the food, washing the tables and even cleaning up after those people who can’t (or won’t) clean up after themselves. Nine women working four hours per day, plus other cafeteria workers la- boring two and one half hours per day, provided us with the variety of our noon-time meal. According to Mrs. JoAnne Bozell, cafeteria manager, the bakers came in at seven-thirty to bake the rolls, buns, bread and desserts. The fish, tenderloin, and pizza were the only items brought in prepared. When hamburger deluxe and turkey manhatten were on the plate lunch, between six and seven hundred plate lunches were served when other dishes dominate the menu. According to to Mrs. JoAnn Bozell, the list Mr. Houston has made con- cerning the cafeteria have really helped. We used to pick up about 150 trays a day, now we pick up only about 70”, she said.

Many prominent positions were held by inexperienced, but not incompetent, sophomores and upperclassmen. Diversity of interests brought little togetherness for this staff. However, each staffer contributed something to- ward one cause-this yearbook. I will not thank any staffer for his contribution to this book; it’s his book as well as mine. However, a few staf- fers were more determined than the others. These are the people who, upon short notice, gave up many week-ends and extra hours to finish their jobs and often those of others. I’d like to mention a few of :he staff aided by for production many people outside the staff that con- tributed to this yearbook. I would like to thank Mr. Virgil Parker for showing up to take pictures when our photog- raphers were unavailable. Thanks go also to Mr. Alan Trisler for helping us with pictures for deadlines. I thank Mr. Larry Glaze of Herff Jones, for chang- ing my rough ideas into realities. Finally, I would like to thank the security staff for putting up with us being in the Pub at all hours. Some of us came to be good friends. All in all, with alot of determination and a little luck, the 1978 Altis staff reached its goal-presenting the school with an accurate account of the year. May the memories survive through this yearbook.

The openness of the halls allow ample floor room for students waiting for class. Cycles of unity paste together a wide vari- ety of courses and carried us through our first cycle. School life will flow even smoother in the years to come. 15 minute mods and five minute breaks between classes won’t be as hectic.
