Mar Columbus, Ind. 47201 One school for quantity, two jm person can look at East and see a school £M building attended by 1325 students. This MM. person might even note the strong athletic teams and the modular class scheduling. Look again. Posters hanging in the gym declare, “two's Company; 3,000’s a Crowd!” and “One School for Quantity, Two Schools for Quality!” as students wear black armbands. The cause of these actions was an attempt by a small group of Columbus residents to per- manently close East, resulting in only one high school in Columbus. The students at East pulled together and protested the possible closing of their school. Posters, petitions, black armbands, reports, and studies were used to show Columbus that East should remain open. Could this be the same East that only a few weeks before had had a vandalism and prank problem so bad, it called for administrative ac- tion? Following Turkey Day” and Thanksgiving break, the Commons at East was closed as a pun- ishment for excessive pranks and vandalism. De- spite much student and teacher complaining, all students were assigned to resource floor, and study hall was continued through the lunch mods. Peer pressure brought about improved behavior. After one week the Commons was reopened and much of the vandalism stopped. Monday, January 19, 1981 the school board, which when previously polled had been tied 3-3 with one abstention, voted to keep East open with a vote of 7-0.

Also, the lab facilities that we have at East are great.” Cindy Frey, biology teacher “The choir chose to do this particular con- cert because we wanted a person (Jerome Kern) who had had some real impact on the music scene.” Mary Clark, choir director “The role of Helen Keller was a big chal- lenge. I really learned a lot from it.” Jill Tasker, junior “The threat to close our school pulled us closer together.” Maria Anne Kelly, junior It's not whether From left: Mike Kamman, Beth Sylvester, Sharon Christman. 4 Opening Clockwise: Brian Barnes and Link Behymer, Link Behymer, Patrick Kiel.

Columbus Mayor Nancy Ann Brown welcomes America's Ambassador to Algiers Ulric Haynes home. Senior exchange student Daniel Scho- nenberger of Luxemburg wears a hat and tie to show school spirit. “They were released a year too late.” Carrie McClure, junior “I’m glad the hostages are home. It was worth the wait.” Trisha Kelly, senior “The hostage crisis served one good purpose. It brought the people of America together as nothing has before.” Tonya Rondot, senior Black armbands were replaced by yellow rib- bons on Tuesday, January 20, when news came of the release of the Americans who had been held hostage in Iran. Four hundred and forty-four days earlier Iranian militants had stormed the American Embassy in Tehran to take the Americans. Months of negotiations had often falsely raised the hopes of the hostages and their families, only to find that their release was still not possible. The last few days of waiting were the hardest, wondering if everything would really work out this time. During the last days of Jimmy Carter’s term as president, the final agreement with the Iranian government was reached. The hostages were not actually freed, however, until moments after Ron- ald Reagan had taken his oath as the fortieth President of the United States. Freedom came to the hostages just as the transition of power was completed in America. Students and faculty at East joined in the na- tionwide celebration of the hostages’ return home. The community of Columbus showed its joy in many ways, from free yellow ribbons to free cakes to free ice skating. Columbus expressed pride in its own Ulric Haynes February 6 with a special celebration in the Commons. He assisted in negotiations and welcomed freed Americans in Germany as the US Ambassador to Algiers. ’’I think they (the hostages) deserved every bit of the attention they got,” commented Carrie McClure, a junior. Some people didn’t share that opinion, how- ever. Les Jackman, a junior, said, “I thought the hostages got too much attention. The POW's de- served more attention than the hostages did; they had to go through a lot more. Even through the hard times and trials, the na- tion made it. Perhaps it was in part because of the hard times. Said McClure of the crisis, The whole situation helped the nation to really unite. For once we were all concerned about the same thing. We weren’t at odds with each other. People we'll always remember Ij ife at East is fast-paced and almost never dull. There is no such thing as a typical student; just as there is no such thing as typical student life. Most of the similarity seems to end with the fact that all of the students at- tend classes. There are organizations to honor outstanding achievement in certain areas. Plays and musi- cals allow the aspiring actor or actress to “show their stuff.” There are clubs to fit almost any interest. The clubs range from foreign language to trying to escape in Dungeons and Dragons. Student life extends beyond the walls of school. Students work part-time jobs to earn extra cash for fun times, and several students do volunteer work in the community. Volunteer- ing ranges from working with aged at a nursing home to being a friend to a small child in Big Brothers Big Sisters. Activities one participates in lead up to one thing-graduation, the one day everyone looks forward to. Every activity, organization or play makes this day even more special.

Students took part in spirit days, powder puff football, a bonfire, and many other Home- coming activities. The week began with an Orange and Brown Day and many stu- dents wore Orange and Brown in some combination. On Tuesday it almost looked like half the student body had forgotten to get dressed for school that morning. Robes, slippers, and pajamas were seen on people who were dressed for Pajama Day. Hats and ties were proper attire for Wednesday. Thursday was the day for stuffed animals and safari outfits, and Fri- day finished off the week with many people wearing warm-up suits and sweats for Sweats Day. On Wednesday night the seniors and the juniors battled it out in the annual powder puff girl’s football game. The game was filled with exciting football action-especially the part when Tom Hendrickson was crowned powder puff king. The game ended with the seniors stomping the juniors, 38-20. The annual bonfire was on Thursday night, and once again students got the chance to choose a number and give that football player a good luck kiss. How would it feel to kiss almost every player on the football team? Kim Craig, a junior, got to do just that. “It felt great, just great!” said Kim of her experience. Friday brought the week to a close with a spirit chain contest sponsored by the Publications De- partment and a rowdy spirit convo. The warm glow of the Homecoming bonfire warmed the cold night for the spirited Olym- pian fans and football players.

BtUllI BH till y ffiEEffllSllDlB he crisp stillness of this Oct- ober night was broken by the music pulsating from the gym. Inside the gym, among the crowd of talking and dancing people, there were some potted plants, a few stuffed ani- mals, a disc jockey, and some chaperones. This unusual scene was the 1980 Homecoming Dance with the theme of “Welcome Home Lion Hunters. Disc jockey Mike O'Brien of radio station WFBQ played the music that kept the crowd dancing until the dance was over at 11 p.m. “It (the dance) was much better than the dances the last two years -everyone was really into it and really uninhibited,” said Senior Chris Williams. Added Senior Cheryl Brumbaugh, “Almost every- one seemed to be dancing and having a good time.” For the first time, this year the Homecoming dance was on Sat- urday following the football game on Friday. The excitement at the dance on Saturday, however, was only a fraction of the excitement that filled the football field at the Homecoming game on Friday. That night had seen the Olympians capture the Rushville Lions in an exciting victory, 35-13. The real highlight of the game did not seem to be the football game, but the crowning of the Homecoming queen. The candi- dates and their escorts lined up in front of the stands during halftime. Tension was in the air. Last year's Homecoming queen, Aleta Stam, said, “I’m probably as ner- vous as they are. I remember how I felt last year!” The candidates and their escorts strained to hear the names of the winner over the roaring crowd as the name of Teri Murphy was an- nounced as the 1980 Homecom- ing Queen. A mellow mood falls over the attending couples as the 1980 Homecoming Sock Hop comes to an end. Happy bandsmen cheer the Olympians on to a 35-13 Homecoming victory.

Homecoming 13 hristmas 1980 saw the Americans still being held hostage in Iran, however, the troubles of the outside world were forgotten for a while by the students of East. The halls were filled with students who pre- ferred to discuss vacation plans rather than to finish that last learning package. Candy canes and mistletoe replaced pencils in the hands of most students. East students helped to spread Christmas cheer all over Columbus, not just at school. Art students took on the project of decorating store fronts and Christmas trees at the Com- mons. Choral groups kept busy singing Christmas carols. The choirs visited different organiza- tions in Columbus, ranging from the Cummins board of directors to various nursing homes. East’s FFA Students made fruit baskets to distribute at the Columbus Convalescent Center and the Columbus Nursing Home. Some home economics students gave a Christmas tea in the family living area at East. DECA students collected toys to be donated to needy children in the community who would not otherwise get any toys for Christmas. Nerves were on edge as guys tried to build up enough nerve to ask that special someone to the Christmas Dance. The Blackford Manor Band, a local band com- posed of high school students, provided music to make the dance a wonderful way to begin the long- awaited Christmas break. 14 Christmas The lights of Christmas bring joy to all that see them. Junior Beth Hamilton assists the Art Department in decorating the school tree in the cafeteria. Senior Ramona Blanton places a snowflake atop the tee. 03 3 Christmas 15 Annie tries to teach Helen discipline while Kate struggles to keep her by her side. The doctor breaks the news to Helen’s parents that she will have no eye sight. While Kate is making Helen a doll, she tries to tell her mother that she would like eyes to be on the doll. _ ’Workers, of The audience filling the auditorium applauds as the stage lights fade following the per- formance of “The Miracle Worker.” The long hours of work put into this very difficult play paid off—the performance was of top quality. ‘‘The Miracle Worker” drama- tized a small part in the life of Helen Keller, who was left blind and deaf after a childhood ill- ness. The Keller family hires An- nie Sullivan, Junior Susan Bur- ton, to help Helen, Junior Jill Tasker, learn to be like other children.” After numerous struggles with both Helen and Mr. and Mrs. Keller, Annie gets a few weeks alone with Helen to teach Helen language. The day after Annie’s time alone with Helen is over, Annie takes Helen to pump some water for dinner. Some- how Helen suddenly under- stands what Annie has been trying to teach her. The play top quality closes as Helen begins to learn the names of the objects sur- rounding her. “I thought the play went very well. Jill did a really good job with a hard part to play,” said Ron Dwenger, who played the part of Captain Keller. The rest of the cast also had very difficult roles because they had to treat Jill as if she were really blind and deaf. All the actors did a very believeable job. Much time was put into this play by students other than the actors. Gary Hendricks, a junior, designed the set and all the lighting used in the play. “I be- gan working the first day of school and the set took a little over a month to do. I really en- joyed it, though, said Gary. Shawn Frederick, the play’s student director, summed up the emotions best, “it’s hard to ex- plain how it feels when it’s over. It’s all you’ve worked for for seven weeks, but it’s worth it to hear the applause.” Cast Helen....................Jill Tasker Annie...................Susan Burton Keller..........Ron Dwenger Kate............Linda Hockins James...........David Jaquess Anagnos.........Martin Timour Aunt Ev.........Joy Daugherty Viney.............Sharon Carr Percy.........Cheryl Sandhage Martha..........Cathy De Villez Doctor..........Kent Burkman Blindgirls Teresa Moore Ann Snyder Cathy Miller Keller farm hands Russ Percifield Steve Roth Diana Willeford Stephanie Mathews James walks in on Annie as she tries to teach Helen to talk with her hands.

Will Mary be able to keep the Colorado Inn? Will Captain Jim return from his dangerous mission so he and lit- tle Mary can get married and live happily ever after? These were only a few of the questions asked and then answered in the Drama Department’s production of “Little Mary Sunshine.” As the play opens, Captain Jim and his forest rangers have arrived at the Colorado Inn. Even though she may have to give up her Inn because the mortgage has run out, Little Mary Sunshine greets them with a song. Captain Jim must soon leave on his dangerous mission to capture Yellow Feather, but before he leaves he asks Mary to marry him when he returns. After Captain Jim has left on his mission, and all the guests at the Inn have gone to sleep, Yel- low Feather comes to the Inn and tries to have his way with Little Mary. Captain Jim comes to the rescue just in time. Soon Mary finds out that she may keep the Colorado Inn because the government has paid the mortgage. Mary is happy. Cap- tain Jim is happy. The forest rangers are happy, and so is the audience after watching this first-rate performance. Members of the United States Forest Rangers come to the Inn to rest after a long hike in the wilderness. Playing the Indian Shell Game, CpI. Bi- lly, an adopted Indian, searches for Yellow Feather.

Senior Andy Whaley watches a critical play during the Bedford-North-Law- rence game. hen the basketball players ran through the tunnel made up of cheerblock members, the crowd roared. Cheerblock led the spirit of the basketball games by leading cheers, making tunnels and run- throughs. Although attendance of cheerblock members was small at most basketball games, the members who came managed to make enough noise to sound like a group twice its size. It was the traditional cheers that seemed to get the fans go- ing says Senior Karen Babbs. Oldies but goodies were ones like, “We got spirit yes we do. We got spirit, how about you. An all-time favorite was done by Senior Bryan Correll, the CO” man. Bryan would get out on the court and spell out Columbus to all the fans and they would re- spond with clapping hands and stomping feet. Olympians showed their spirit in many ways, from the old-time favorite of hats and sunglasses to new spirit days like Green and Orange Day. Pep convocations, spirit days, cheerblock, and ball games were all marked with Olympian support and most of all with spirit. Members of the guys and girl’s cheer- block gave support and encour- agement to the athletic teams. Spirit 21 A mime from the Indiana Repertory Theater entertains students in the Commons during their unscheduled time. Members of a visiting ballet company performs a musical skit for the stu- dents and faculty. Ccnvcs are learning experience % ■ m not sure now whether I want jl to have children or not, was a comment made by Greg Lacy, a junior, after watching the genetics convocation presented by Dr. Sam Rhine. Dr. Rhine is a genetic counselor from Indianapolis who travels to schools and presents a program about genetic disorders and birth defects. The three-hour presentation shocked some students, caused concern in some other students, and enlightened almost all the students who attended the program. Brent Muellenburg, a junior, was im- pressed by the convo. I really enjoyed the program, said Brent. I think the people who went learned a lot of things they probably had never heard about before. Music echoed through the gym dur- ing a program put on by Freedom Jam, a group of rock musicians who present a program of rock music with a patri- otic message to high school students around the country. The fine art of ballet was demon- strated when the National Ballet Com- pany came to Columbus. The young dancers gave a lecture-demonstration with many styles of ballet, from classi- cal to modern interpretive, and also gave students some insight into the hard work required of a dancer. Hypnotism was the subject of an- other popular convo. Students who volunteered to be hypnotized per- formed many tasks including holding on to imaginary balloons and eating imaginary popcorn. Helen Carie, a ju- nior, said, It was like being asleep. of her experience. 22 Convos One of the favorite convos this year was a ballet performance. Here two members do a classical dance. A visiting hypnotist convinces Junior Tom Rayburn that his seat is hot, much to the enjoyment of the au- dience. Junior April Kelley is serenaded by the lead singer of Freedom Jam during their performance at a fall convo. Convos 23 he rain was softly fall- ing over Columbus as S the sun rose on Friday, May 15, 1981. It contin- ued to fall as students arrived at school. Many juniors and sen- iors hoped and prayed the rain would stop before the evening— Prom night. The school day seemed to pass too slowly for those looking forward to the big night. As 3 p.m. crept nearer, anxious faces watched through the windows wondering when the sun would come out. The rain, which had been fall- ing all week, finally stopped on Friday afternoon. For the first time in three years there was no rain on Prom night. Even with- out the rain, the weather outside was rather cool. Once one en- tered the Commons, however, one entered a “South Pacific Paradise” where the atmo- sphere was quite warm. Men in tuxedos and girls in formal dresses danced the evening away to the music of the Fritz Turner Band. Corsages, bouton- nieres, and flowers in the hair of many girls made the evening seem to be a celebration of spring as well as a celebration :of rortiapce. Seniors Teri Murphy and Todd Kir- choff were crowned 1981 Prom Queen and King. Senior Lonnie Smith and his date sit above the dance floor to talk while ju- niors and seniors from North and East dance to music by Fritz Turner Band. ! ■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Prom 25 Following the “South Paci- fic Paradise,’’ juniors and seniors from the two Co- lumbus high schools entered the “North-East Territory” for the after-prom. The after-prom carried a western theme and was at the Foundation for Youth. Urban cowboys and cowgirls were entertained by Jeff and Shirley and the Country Asso- ciation in the gym from 11:30 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. A profes- sional square dance caller, Dave Fivecoat, added to the western atmosphere with square danc- ing in the Boy’s Club. If the word urban” was more descriptive of a person than “cowboy,” disc jockey Dave Dugan of radio sta- tion KISS 99 provided entertain- ment in the gym from 1:00 to 5:00 a.m. Mr. Dave kept the stu- dents dancing and listening to rock music. In addition to the dancing and the music, the after-prom was a great place to play some games and win some prizes. A tent was set up outside filled with games for the students to play in ex- change for tickets. The tickets the students won could be re- deemed for prizes. Some of the prizes ranged from t-shirts to records to gift certificates. The drawing for the grand prize was in the gym at 4 a.m. After drawing the names of three people who had already left, the name of Andy Whaley, an East senior, was drawn for the grand prize, a stereo system. Cheryl Brumbaugh, another East senior, was sitting close to Andy when the drawing was tak- ing place. Said Cheryl, It was funny when they drew his name because he had been kidding around and asking me to hold his t-shirt when he won the stereo—then he won it!” Jmt i .. - — — _ 26 After-Prom Juniors Ken Patton and Tina Hornbeck try to increase their ticket winnings at the ring toss booth.

Classmates straightened each other’s caps and gowns while still others searched for their spot in line. An air of dignity and deep concentration surrounded the students as they stood quietly waiting the start of the Com- mencement ceremony. Following the ceremony, it seemed that something inside the new graduates had suddenly been set free. As they turned in their caps and gowns, those same people who had been so solemn only a few minutes be- fore were changed into a state of joyfulness. Now was the time they could finally let go and cel- ebrate the completion of a major step in their lives. The Commencement cere- mony was a solemn event. Car- men Winterrowd, salutatorian, and Chris Williams, valedictorian, spoke to the class, challenging them to make the most of their lives after high school. Mr. Houston recalled honors won by members of the class before the presentation of diplomas. Once the new gradu- ates had received diplomas, Senior Class President David Jaquess closed the ceremony with the following words: ‘‘May the road rise to meet you; May the wind be always at your back; May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again; May God hold you in the palm of His hand.” a Principal Philip Houston presents the class of 1981 with a list of their accom- plishments. The auditorium was quiet as the gradu- ates waited for David Jaquess to lead the changing of the tassels. Students practiced marching to Pomp and Circumstance” on their last day of school. 30 Graduation .... 3ui a beginning Salutatorian Carmen Winterrowd shares her excitement of life with grad- uating students, their family and friends. On the last day of school, seniors practiced marching with their robes before leaving. Senior Michelle Eppley shows mixed emotions as the ceremony begins. Graduation 31 EAST is a great place take a stand ‘Dream Cars’ Many students have some special car they dream of own- ing one day. What car do you dream of owning? Eric Bishop, a senior at East, dreams of some- day driving a silver Ferrari. Marty Timour, also a senior, hopes to drive a silver Toyota liftback. Bill Kazimier, a junior, has a taste for the classic; his dream car is a red 1963 Cor- vette. Another junior, Liz Trotta, would like a recent-model Cor- vette. The sophomores, too, can dream of special cars. If the choice were left to Sophomore Beth Bottorff, she would drive a burgundy Fiat XI9. Mike Stock- leman, another sophomore, would choose a light blue Spit- fire. Angle parking in the East parking lot takes practice and a great deal of cre- ativity. Parking within the lines is not often practiced in the student parking lot. 34 Cars TORCH Pity is taken upon the driver left with the choice of either hitting a car or driving through the grass. Small sport cars favored by most students are often re- placed by the boat” of a car. Guide to parking Several distinct methods of parking are to be found in the East parking lot. Different meth- ods of parking exist for whatever type of car you drive and fit any personality. East student lot parking takes some practice, but if these few simple guide- lines are followed, you can park like an East student in no time. 1. No matter what type of car you drive, disregard all pave- ment markings. 2. Fill up no fewer than two parking spaces. If you can park so as to fill up three or more spaces, this is the pre- ferred method. 3. Only those students trained in long-distance running should arrive at school after 8:15 a.m. Any time after 8:15, the only parking spaces available are in the second lot, which is very close to sit- ting in Jackson County. 1981 Cars 35 Friends are always there With five seconds left in the game, the opponents are lead- ing, 14-13. Your team is within field goal range, and the coach sends you in for the routine kick. You miss the uprights, and the team loses. A fellow teammate talks to you after the game and really makes you feel better. It’s eight o’clock and you’re watching T.V. The phone rings and you know it’s your best friend. Before you can say hello, you hear, “You’ll never believe it! Your heart throb, Gary, wants to go out with you!” Your friend is as happy as you are. Friends make the good times and the bad times worthwhile. Junior Angela Wyman hears an earful of gossip from her friend Junior Yvette Wright during their free time. Senior David Hilton and Junior Angela Hilton take a break at the North-East Territory afterprom party on May 15. Juniors Maria Kelly and Helen Carie sell tickets in their Halloween cos- tumes during the Junior Class movie. 36 Friends TORCH 1981 Remember, you’re among friends Friends are great to have! Granted, they do several nice little gestures, but more im- portantly they’re there for moral support. Talking comes easily and spontaneously. Se- crets are kept with the stric- test confidence. They’re not afraid to tell you your faults when you need to be told. Friends make personal sacri- fices to make conditions bet- ter for you. “I think that a friend is someone that you can talk to openly without feeling embar- rassed,” states Senior Dale Downey. “They can tell you their problems and take on a few of your own.” During the last week of school when sophomores were allowed down stairs, Scott Reed and David Fischer have cokes. The Torchettes take a break from class to catch up on the news. Sharing her Oracle with Senior Mark Rediker, Junior Melissa Clapp takes a break to catch up on school news. Friends often crowded into the booths of the cafeteria to see how many people fit. Friends 37 38 College bound The rush is on With diploma in hand, the graduate is ready to rush off to college. The step up to an institute of higher learning prom- ises to be a challenge—to say the least. How could anyone think the step up would be simple after knowing what one must go through in order to be admitted into a college? Many colleges require that prospective students take the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, in order to gain admittance. The SAT is really a just legal form of cruel and unusual punishment, and what makes it seem even worse is that this form of punishment is completely voluntary. This horrible experience takes the form of a grueling, three-hour test, usually administered in the morning. This in itself is a reason for much of the ang- uish involved in taking the test. Others have different reasons for anguish. Sen- ior Kelly Matlock said, “I don’t think that they should put so much emphasis on one test. You could have a bad day and that could ruin your test score. Difficult tests and college applications seem to be forgotten when the graduate receives his diploma and prepares to rush out into the world of higher learn- ing.

Believing sophomores Here you are, a sophomore at East. You’re ready for anything, right? Maybe you are ready for anything except this strange piece of paper your homeroom teacher has just handed to you. This sheet full of letters and numbers is supposed to be your schedule of classes. If you get a little help from a ju- nior or senior and you have a lot of patience, you will eventually decipher your schedule and learn class locations. You now have it made for the rest of the year, right? Perhaps no one has told you about the theory of most juniors and seniors who believe that sophomores belong to a race that is somewhat less than hu- man. They believe that soph- omores should be seen and not heard, and they shouldn’t ever be seen on the gallery level ex- cept during lunch mods. Soon the resource level is “home.” “Turkey Day” is a day espe- cially hazardous to sophomores. However, if you can survive the jokes and an occasional bit of be- ing pushed around, you will find that East is a nice place to go to school. If you’re not careful, you may even end up enjoying your- self. 42 Olympian Ordeal TORCH Celebrating seniors Two years down, one more to go. Doesn’t it feel great to know you’re a senior, one of the elite inhabitants of the school? During the first semester most seniors make an attempt at doing their schoolwork without cheating. However, the second semester brings with it a strange disease that strikes down many members of the senior class. The disease is commonly known as senioritis and marked by such symptoms as spending all free time in the Commons, forgetting to turn in homework assignments, forgetting to do homework assignments, or even assuming that it is OK to miss a class to play frisbee. Although this disease is rarely fatal, it has been known to kill grades. Senioritis is usually cured very quickly around Grad Nite. Most parents refuse to sign for a personal day until all work is turned in, and the lure of Grad Nite is too much for most sen- iors to resist. Soon you will have your di- ploma and be set loose into the real world. As you walk up to re- ceive your diploma, dressed in your cap and gown, you may be- gin to think that American Heri- tages weren’t so bad after all. Put those thoughts out of your head! You are now ready for the world—go to it! Procrastinating juniors Now that you've made it through your sophomore year, the junior year will be easy, correct? SURPRISE! The junior year is not as easy as most juniors would like it to be. Not only will you be required to fill out hundreds of outlines and define thousands of terms for U.S. History, a class all juniors take, but you will also find your- self reading American Heritages for the same, well-loved class. Clifsonja Bennett, a junior, said, “I don’t like to read American Heritages, but sometimes they are interesting and you learn something from them.” Most ju- niors, however, will not admit to enjoying an American Heritage unless under much pressure. Just when you think you have everything under control the English Department presents a big surprise of an assignment to the Junior Class. The surprise takes the form of a term paper assignment. The fatal mistake made by many juniors is pro- crastination. Once term papers are out of the way, juniors turn thoughts toward much simpler things, such as SAT’s, the Prom, and summer. 1981 Olympian Ordeal 43 President Ronald Reagan rose in pop- ularity despite his tough economic pol- icy.

Southern and mid- western states were hardest hit with record temperatures blazing in Texas and Missouri. Tension ran high and a few tempers flared in August when young men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one were required to register for the mili- tary draft. Although there is no actual draft and the registration was only a precaution, draft reg- istration was met with some op- 44 World Events position. The summer months also car- ried with them the campaigns for the upcoming presidential election. In addition to the two candidates from the major par- ties, Democrat and Republican, there was an independent can- didate who stirred much atten- tion. John Anderson, a senator from Illinois, was the indepen- dent candidate running against incumbent President Jimmy Carter and Governor Ronald Reagan of California. Although Anderson made a big splash as the third candidate, he did not receive any electoral votes. When the votes were counted, Ronald Reagan was to be our new president.

Keep l East open!” chanted the crowd at the basketball game on January 16. Many people in the crowd wore black armbands, and banners supporting East were hung all over the gym. The crowd was protesting the proposal to close East and combine the students of both Co- lumbus high schools into one high school, to be housed at North. The suggestion to close East was put before the school board by Mr. Richard Eynon, a local at- torney. Mr. Eynon was invited by the ESA to come to East and speak to some of the students about his reasons for closing the school. The main rea- son Mr. Eynon gave for wanting to close East was economics. East has a higher operational cost than North. Mr. Eynon’s figures showed that to op- erate the East building it cost close to $245.00 per student, while the North building costs only about $98.00 per student to operate. However, the fig- ures Mr. Eynon used were found to be misleading. For example, the figures did not take into account that East is air-conditioned while North is not, or that the summer school classes for the entire Bar- tholomew County Consolidated School Corpora- tion are in the East building. The figures also did not account for East’s auditorium or pool which are used by the community. Students worked together to show their support for their school. Students made banners, circu- lated petitions, and wore black armbands. The Oracle published a special edition which brought many new facts and viewpoints of what would happen if the schools were combined. The ESA formed a special committee to meet with mem- bers of the school board individually and discuss reasons for keeping East open. Students through- out the school banded together to make their views known, and it worked. On January 19, when the school board voted, the result was unanimous to keep East open.

But ESA got together to prove him wrong. Many hours were spent by ESA members cir- culating a city-wide petition, talking to members of the school board, and starting a letter-writ- ing campaign to influential com- munity members. The hard work finally paid off when the school board voted to keep East open. Elaine Fischer summed it up, “We showed the board and the town that East students really do care. ESA also sponsored school activities and events. The sec- ond annual Gong Show proved to be more hilarious than last year’s. There was an equal amount of serious and ridicu- lous acts. Junior Renee Caffee won the first prize and a group of junior girls won the funniest act, a $25 prize. Adding culture to the school year was the Fashion Fling.

Block spirit Cheering at the games and pep ses- sions, men’s and women’s cheerblocks helped boost school spirit during the year. Men's cheerblock was led by Sen- ior Mike Kamman. Women’s cheerblock was led by Senior Debbie Gross. Women’s cheerblock had a bake sale to help raise money to pay for hats. In addition to this, they made the run- throughs for all the games and decorated the Commons and the men's locker room to boost spirit and encourage attendance at the games. Men's cheerblock also did its part to boost spirit. General rowdiness added an extra bit of spice to the games.

However, this year’s speech team found that there is something else needed-dedication. With the size of the group cut in half from pre- vious years because of lack of in- terest, this year’s team found it difficult to perform the way it did last year. Sometimes East had to forfeit categories because there weren’t enough members to compete. Also, because the team was so small, it was unable to get a bus to travel to away meets. Even though the team had a fairly good season, Senior Julia Johns said, “We had a lot of good members and did good in compet- ition, but we should have done better with more support from the students.” Ray LeBlanc presents speech awards to Junior Kim Lewallen and Sophomore Stephanie Matthews.

The Friday night foot- ball and basketball games provide a chance for the students to show their spirit by either participating or cheering for the team. Athletics have helped East gain recognition from the community. In some cases, such as in the case of Tom Hendrickson, sports can give an individual a chance to go to college on an athletic scholarship. Recognition also should go to the teams who put in weeks of practice so they will represent their school well. For the past three years the football team has gotten into the play-offs. The overall record over the past three seasons has been 33-3. Teachers at East got into the act this year with a benefit basketball game against the North faculty. The East faculty followed the win- ning example set by its students as they defeated the North faculty, 71-44. Sports give the skilled athletes a chance to ex- ercise their skills.

He was a good coach because he had such a great staff.’’ —Fullback Anthony Young-Bey Tom Hendrickson, Bryan Perry and Kip Kiel—three key players the Olymps de- pended upon for exciting plays and victorious games. Yet at the peak of the season, the three saw little or no action in the Sectional against Martinsville. Hendrickson was out of the Bedford and Martinsville games because of mononucleosis. Kiel and Perry played little in the Sectional because of Kiel’s shoulder injury and Perry's hip pointer from the game against Bedford. The result: a 38-7 loss to the Arte- sians. ‘‘There’s no doubt that the illnesses affected the team as a whole, but it doesn’t take away Illness affects ability from the fine job several players did during the game,” said head coach John Stafford. The game was the biggest disappointment of the season, according to Senior Anthony Young-Bey. “With the talent that we had in the lines, we should have done better,” he said. “There was no doubt in my mind that we were going to lose that game, and when we did, it really hurt.” The team was fairly young; two rookie line- backers and a sophomore quarterback might have given some doubts about inexperience in the line, but according to Stafford the young men were “a big highlight: they were under pressure all year long and responded well.” Although Stafford is losing 23 senior players who have given him a three-year career record of 33-3, he is optimistic about next year’s team.

Although the team had many obstacles to overcome, the loss of four senior starters and many injuries thoughout the sea- son, they pulled through by winning the Sectio- nal title for a third year in a row. Ranked twentieth in the state, the team’s goal was “not just to win, but to play excellent, error- free volleyball,” said Coach Yvonne Kenyon. To accomplish that goal, the team concentrated on one play at a time, not thinking about anything but bumping, serving and hitting. Beating cross-town rival Columbus North was just one of the many highlights that the team at- tributed to its victorious season. The match against the Bulldogs was a tough fight, but the O’s came out on top, 15-4, 13-15, 15-3.

Mike Love, cap- tain of the team, achieved his goal by becoming the record holder with a time of 16:58. “I ran to my potential,” said Love. “I reached my goals.” With only one letterman and two non-let- termen returning, the season looked grim. But, with the recruitment and intensive training of 21 runners, the Olymps ended up with a very suc- cessful season. “We came on strong this year for an inexpe- rienced team,” said Head Coach Bill McMahan. “I was very happy with the season.” The big disappointment of the year was plac- ing sixth in the sectional. East was edged out by Martinsville by five points, losing the chance to go to regional competition and ending the sea- son with a 27-26 varsity record. The freshman and reserve teams finished with a record of Se- ll and 14-14, respectively. “When I run, all I think about is lowering my time,” commented Senior Andy Knott. “In fact, I concentrate so much on the race, I don't think about anything else.” “Andy was the only senior on the cross country team this year.

One reason for the low record was the many injuries and illnesses throughout the season. “Our lack of freestyle strength hurt us,” com- mented Coach Jim Sheridan. “I think that the girls are winners,” said Sheri- dan. “I was also impressed with the girls’ enthu- siasm. ‘‘Jackie showed continued improvement throughout the season.

Coach Andy Gal- braith was pleased with the winning record and is looking forward to next year when he will have his number one singles, number three sin- gles, and number two doubles teams returning. The netters placed third in the Hoosier Hills Conference, and was edged out by North in the Sectional. Earning the number one singles spot, Sophomore Mark Hostetler won all-con- ference honors in the HHC. He was named the “During his senior year, Tom served as a glue to hold together a very young team. He always set a fine example of conduct for the rest of the team.” —Coach Andy Galbraith ‘Let’ with persistence most valuable player of the team, and ended the season with a personal record of 19-3. Team captain Jim Apple played number two singles and Junior Brian Brock played at num- ber three, placing second in the conference. Doubles teams were Louis Hammond and Tom Blades and Mike Watkins and Troy White. Wat- kins and White placed third in the HHC. Galbraith was an optimistic coach throughout the season. “Being a teacher, he knows how to deal with us,” commented Senior Blades. He taught us to keep calm during the match and not think about it if we made any mistakes. Sophomores showed improvement this season, said Galbraith. “I plan to win all our meets next year. That’s our goal.” MEN'S TENNIS: Front row: Troy White. Mark Hostetler, and Jim Apple.

The team was blessed with many highlights throughout the season, but the big disappointment was losing the Regional by 13 strokes. “We did very well all season, as far as the Sectional, said number one golfer Judy Sharp. For the first time, East won the Hoosier Hills Conference. The Olympiannes shot a 374, which was a new 18-hole record. Judy Sharp was All- Conference medalist with an 80. Senior Judy Sharp had a very impressive per- sonal season with the team. Sharp was medalist in nine of the ten meets, most valuable player and team captain as a junior and a senior, meet medal- ist in the HHC, and All-Conference her past two years on the team. Coach Burton describes Sharp's advances as “super.’’ Besides the 18-hole school record, the girls also set a nine-hole record, 175, against Bloomington North. Judy Sharp set a personal and school nine- hole record of 33, two strokes under par. Burton worked with the girls many hours to con- tribute to their prosperous season. “She did a real good job,” said Judy Sharp. “She was like our Mom during the season. Keeping her eyes on the ball.

While we did not finish with as good of a record as I had hoped, we did play very well at times and re- corded big wins over Columbus North, Martins- ville, Seymour and Bloomington North, said Coach Roger Reed. The team showed much strength in rebound- ing and free throws. Leading rebounder for the team was Senior Jim Warner, who had 168 sea- sonal rebounds and a 78 free throw percentage. Warner totaled 267 points for the O’s and was named MVP for the 1980-81 season. Wiley Umphress assisted in leading rebounds and av- eraged 12 points per game. Team captain Tom Hendrickson averaged ten points per game. “We tried to emphasize free throw shooting and re- bounding, and it must have paid off because both were good to us,” commented Reed. “This year's varsity basketball team was an enjoyable group of boys, Reed said. “The sen- iors playing their last basketball season at East High School will be missed.” Reed will be losing Hendrickson, Warner, Mike Webb, Kip Kiel, and Jeff Hoeltke.

The team was undefeated in ’81 winning to North faculty 71-44 and senior students by 19 points. The team’s two-year record is 2-1. The game against North, called the Bulldog- Olympian Faculty Fracas (B.O.F.F.) raised $616 to support incoming freshmen’s athletic fund. The profit was split between East and North. The faculty team played with great confidence, according to Coach Reed, describing his team as a “powerhouse.” Every player on the team scored at least one basket against the Bulldogs. The co-ed reserve team, coached by Jackie Burton, lost to the Bulldogs, 14-17. The junior varsity game was just for fun,” but the varsity game was dog serious,” claimed Coach Reed. The game against the seniors supported East publications. Senior Kip Kiel kept the game in perspective as referee, while senior coaches Pat Tungate and David Frederick encouraged their team from the sidelines. Coach Reed said the faculty team could have been even better if he could have had everyone at the practices. “I hope we’re establishing a tra- dition,” said Reed.

Senior Denise Hodel missed the beginning of the season, but came back to lead in rebounding, scoring, and ulti- mately was named the most valuable player on the team. Junior Jan Kiel returned to varsity to lead in foul shooting percentage. Kiel was named captain of the 1982 team. Coach Jackie Burton had a young and inex- perienced team, although it was the tallest team in Olympianne history. Junior Jackie VanLiew measured 6’' 2”, Junior Kerry Noblitt measured 6’1 ”, and Debbie VanLiew was an even 6’. Ho- del measured 5’10”. Ten Olympiannes lettered this year: Seniors Hodel, Jackie Brown, and Diane Bottorff; Ju- niors Noblitt, J. VanLiew, D. VanLiew, Kiel, Sha- ron Christman, Julie Franke, and Becky Payne. Toward the end of the season the team started winning games more consistently, so Jackie Burton should look forward to a suc- cessful ’82 ball team. She will be losing only two starters, Hodel and Brown, and her most im- proved athlete, Bottorff. “The hardest game this season was against Columbus North; they beat us bad,” said Noblitt. “But our coaching staff really helped us.” Julie Franke and Coaches Marvin and Jackie Burton study the game.

The hard training paid off, for the team ended their season with a 9-1 record. Their only loss, to Columbus North, was a big disappointment for the team, but they made up for it by winning the HHC and sending five swimmers to state. We worked hard to prepare mentally as well as physically,” said Junior Mike Frohman. “We tried to get to the teams on deck as well as in the water.” The end of the season put new records on the boards. Juniors Rob Weaver and Scott Spofford, and Frohman, set new records in the 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly, and 100 breastst- roke, respectively. The 200 medley relay team of Spofford, Rob Weaver, Gene Weaver and Dale Downey set a record with a time of 1:42.2. Gene Weaver, Chris Williams, Spofford and Rob Weaver also broke a record in the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 3:29.402. Five men from the team advanced to state competition at Ball State University. Downey, Spofford, Rob Weaver and Greg Warren placed third in the 200 medley relay, breaking East’s record. Frohman came in sixth place in the 100 breaststroke, swimming his own pool record time. The younger members of the team advanced and made drastic improvements throughout the season. Sophomore Gene Weaver received all- conference honors and was named the most improved swimmer of the team. His brother, Rob, received the award for the most valuable team member. Coaches David Fribley and Jim Wilhelm worked hard to prepare the team for their long season. “Wilhelm gave an emotional uplift to our team,” commented Rob Weaver. “We de- pended on him to get us psyched up.” Spofford described their season and in- tensive training best. “I think that swimming is the hardest, most demanding sport there is.” 78 Men's Swimming Mike Frohman set a record in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:02.88. breaking his own Sectional record. Mike Frohman leaves the podium after receiving his medal for sixth place at the State meet in Muncie. The 200 medley relay team receives their medal for placing third with a time of 1:48.03 at State.

Men's Swimming 79 “Kim has been an excellent representative of the team for the past four years and a contributing factor to the excellent record that our team has had.’’ —Coach Nancy Kirshman Columbus East’s girls gymnasts ended their season 5-5, but considering the battle with injuries and young team members, Coach Nancy Kirshman said she was pleased with the season. The Olympiannes had good perfor- mances from Cari Jo Russell in vaulting. Russell went to Regional in floor exercise competition, after placing third in the Sectional. She scored a 7.35 in the floor event not good enough to go to State, but earning her the right to Most Valuable Team Member. Senior Kim Burbrink also had her best season in her four years as team member. As team cap- tain, Burbrink set her goals on the balance beam and received many first place scores throughout the season. Burbrink also competed in vaulting and floor exercise, after working during the sum- mer to construct her style. “The coaches helped so much,” said Burbrink. “They really pushed us Team battles injuries to do well; and that’s what I’ll remember most in my four-year competition.” The team was plagued with many injuries which hampered their hopeful victorious season. Freshman Carol Zeigler had a back injury the first of the year, after falling off of the balance beam. She came back and competed in the Sec- tional, where the team placed third. Sophomore JoAnne Stonecipher was also sidelined from the uneven bars because of a slight muscle pull in her leg. Junior Pam Krulitz missed out on some of the season with a broken ankle, but still worked out on the beam with a cast. “The hardest meet was against Columbus North, since it was the beginning of the season, and an in-town meet,” said Burbrink. “We won that meet, but the second time we went up against them, they were up for it. The team lost the second meet against North by only .45 of one point. The hardest thing for a gymnast is “concentrat- ing on that event, and not letting the crowd interrupt concentration,” said Burbrink.

Yet through his perseverance, Lam has become a state contender in his event.” —Coach Tom Hadley f J A rebuilding season East mens gymnastics experienced a rebuild- ing year, having only two upperclassmen, Senior and team captain Lam Nguyen and Junior Mark Duncan. In addition to Nguyen and Duncan, two soph- omores lettered this year, Doug Burton and Steve Price. Although the team did not win a single meet, coaches were impressed with the team's poten- tial. Coaches Tom Hadley and Earl Stanfield said that “the group was an extreme pleasure to coach because of dedication and quick acquisi- tion of skill. Hadley also said, We’re looking forward to next season. Although it will be still a young group, it will represent East with ex- cellence.” At the Sectional championship hosted by East, the best finish in an event came from Nguyen, who tied for twelfth place on pommel horse.

Mens Gymnastics 83 “Dave is our most dedicated wrestler and should be an up and coming success.” —Coach Jim Zeiger Coach Jim Zeiger’s philosophy for the wres- tling team this year was “you don’t get any- thing unless you want it and really work for it.” Well, the team really worked, but their record ended up 0-6. There were many close matches, but the real highlight of the season was the team’s match against cross-town rival, North. The principle of wrestling is very simple in writ- ing: pin your opponent by his shoulders for three seconds. The wrestler has three two-minute peri- ods to accomplish this task, but it is not nearly as easy as it sounds. You have to find a weakness in your opponent,” said Junior David Polanka. “Then you have to get a good hold on him. The sport is divided into 13 different weight classes; so maintaining a consistent weight is very impor- tant to success. Many seniors were lost last year, so the team was mainly made up of lightweight contenders. Senior Anthony Young-Bey was the most valuable player for the team, and Freshman Mel- vin Bowman was named most improved.

Thinking about the place- ment of the ball and running to the net for a winning shot as soon as possible, commented Sophomore Lori Douglas. The team’s hard work and concentration paid off. Although there was only one senior on the team, they finished with a successful 10-3 record. The girls were undefeated until they met Columbus North, losing to them 6-1. ‘‘One of our goals was to beat North,” said Sophomore Nancy Burbrink. We feel next year we will be even more ready for them.” Joel Metzler, the team's new coach, was very influential to the winning season. Douglas said, “I’d say he improved our team by 75 percent.” Burbrink agreed, adding that, “he was a really great coach; he helped me a lot.” Lisa Comer, the only senior on the team, con- tributed her experience to the younger members of the team and ended her personal season 5-2 on the doubles court. Since the team is so young, they are very opti- mistic about next year. Douglas explained, “I think we had a good record, but we should have been undefeated. We will be next year.” During the summer Douglas practiced everyday and placed in three tournaments. “I like the sport, competition and exercise.” GIRLS TENNIS: Row 1: Marci Baker, Liz Fortner, Shelly Kendall, Sue Kent.

This is only the third time that the team has won the HHC. “The team won because of the good hitting and baserunning during the conference,” said Junior Wiley Umphress. The team ended its season 18-6. The most valuable player this year, Senior Kip Kiel, ex- celled not only in hitting and catching, but also in overall attitude. “He's always encouraging people to do their best,” said Umphress. Giovanini commended Seniors Bill Pongracz, Bryan Perry, Kip Kiel, and Umphress for their consistent hitting; Pongracz, Perry, Randy Baack, and John Major for their strong defense, and Jim Warner for his pitching. Giovanini worked his men hard in practice for their winning season. “He is a real motivator,” said Sophomore Tim Huntington.

Sylvester also quali- fied for the regional in three events. ‘‘I always do my best to win,” she said. I got two school records and ran five personal bests this sea- The upperclassmen also played a major role for the Olympiannes’ successful 8-1 season. Senior Denise Hodel was the MVP for the team, commended for her brilliant competition in the discus, shot put, high jump, and 200-meter run. “She’s an outstanding athlete in any events we want to put her in,” said Coach Sylvester. Team captain Jackie Brown was also a valuable asset to the team. She qualified for the regional in the 800 and the 800-meter relay with Kim Senn, Lori Bryant, and Kim Johnson.

The opening meet against HHC rival Jennings County proved a promising team. “It was the best opening meet we’ve ever had,” said Murray. The team finished fifth in the Columbus relays, the best finish for East in eight years. Thirteen individuals and three relay teams qual- ified for Sectional, where the team placed third. One school record that was broken this year sent its competitors to Regional: the 400-meter relay team of Senior Jim Zieleniuk, and Soph- omores Mike McNeely, Greg Martin, and David Strietelmeier. Senior Kenny Davis received Most Valuable Player for the season, and Most Improved went to Senior Todd Kirchoff. Captains for the ’81 season were Seniors Anthony Young-Bey and Tim Bokelman.

Coach Bob Gergely, now in his fifth year as golf coach, called this a year of rebuild- ing. Even though the team did not have “state potential,” Gergely was pleased with the sea- sonal results. We have a group of hard-work- ing kids,” he said. The O’s started the season by losing to Co- lumbus North, 335-324, but no one expected to beat the third-ranked team in the state. ”We knew we couldn’t beat North,” said Gergely. “We just wanted to keep it (the score) reason- able and that’s what we did. Placing sixth in the Hoosier Hills Conference, the team was led by Sophomore Tom Johnson. Johnson won All-Conference Sectional Medal- ist. Some of the highlights of Johnson's season were getting all-conference and winning Sec- tional.” The team wasn’t entirely satisfied with the end results. I think we had a few close games that could have been won that weren’t,” said Dasovich. Senior Tom Blades was the most valuable player for the '81 season and had the best aver- age, 84.50.

She’s got lots of school spirit.” -Sponsor Pat Bokelman Leading the rowdies like to get people spirited and cheering I for their team, said Sophomore Julie Byrd. The cheerleading squads spent much time and effort this year getting them- selves and everyone else “fired up” during bas- ketball and football games, spirit convos, and in the school atmosphere itself. Spending hours a week practicing and working all summer long to raise money, the girls had bake sales, car washes, and door-to-door sales to raise up to $200 for each girl to go to cheerleading camp and buy new uniforms and shoes. The girls believe that there needs to be more spirit in the school. Spirit days, convos and dances need to be more than a once-in-awhile event. They need to be sponsored regularly just like the sports events themselves. “We need to get the faculty interested in pro- moting spirit just as we do,” commented varsity cheerleader Senior Kathy Reed. April Kelley, ju- nior, agreed, adding that, “the parents should be involved, too.” What's the thing the cheerleaders will re- member most about their days in front of the crowds? “Getting out on the floor and really feeling a part of my school—the feeling of con- tributing,” said Byrd.

Cheerleading 97 “Jim was a starting lineman on the reserve team who showed a great deal of potential.”—Coach John Stafford Tackling any barrier East JV football had its most successful sea- son in 1980 with an 8-1 record. Having enough depth to play two to three people at each position, the reserve Olympians were for- tunate enough to give several players valuable playing time to prepare them for varsity duty in the years to come. A solid defense led by Ju- niors Steve Hollinger, Mark Wedan, Randy Wells, Tom Wetherald, Mike Holley shut out three opponents while allowing four other op- ponents to one touchdown apiece. East out- scored rivals 138 points and allowed rivals to score only 92 points. A sophomore-based of- fense had an outstanding junior varsity line with Robbie Proffitt and Brian Underwood at tackles. Jim Oathout and Barry Smiley at guards, and Brian Nelson and Randy Baack sharing center duties. “We had a good, solid defense by every- body,” said Coach David Benak. Our offensive line blew the opponents out. Individual scoring by the team was led by Sophomores Greg Martin and David Strietel- meier, who each made five touchdowns for a season total of 30 points. Quarterback Pat Kiel made one touchdown, three field goals, and two extra points for a total of 26 points. “With the depth of talent in the backfield as well as on the line, the varsity could easily spend the next two years in Indy, said Benak.

Nan will do her best to try to accomplish the things I ask of her.’’ —Coach Marvin Burton Giving their best shot Coaches Gary Young and Marvin Burton agree that Olympian basketball has a lot to look forward to next year from the un- derclassmen. Men's and women’s reserve bas- ketball teams made much progress during their season. The men finished their season with an 11-8 record, while the women fell to a record of 4-12. The men’s team did well the first half of the season, but let off a bit in the second half. “I think we’ll do better next year,” commented Sophomore Chris Dickey. Coach Young agreed, adding that he “enjoyed this group of athletes. The team played hard, played well, and improved greatly over the course of the season.” Members of the squad who worked with the varsity team throughout the season were Soph- omore Jim Shepherd, and Juniors Kevin Meyer and Jim Ritchey. The leading scorer for the team was Junior Paul Dasovich, who totaled 179 points during the season for a 9.4 average per game. Although the women’s team did not have a good season record, the team progressed tre- mendously through the year. The team was weak offensively, but their defense is the best team I’ve ever coached,” said Burton. The team had a great deal of depth and quickness to add to its list of qualities. The Sophomore Class dominat- ed the starting lineup. Kelly Baird and Beth Sylvester struggle to take the ball away from their Madi- son opponent. RESERVE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Front row: Beth Buck, Susan Oakley, Della Stevens, Kathy Hughey, Jill Wat- kins, Julie Zeigler, Kelly Baird and Mar- vin Burton. Back row: Tina Jarvis, Penny Goddard, Beth Sylvester, Nancy Burbrink, Rhonda Gines and Janice Brewer. Reserve Basketball 101 The reserve teams this year had seasons of runs and errors: while the volleyball team did not do as well as members had hoped, the baseball team finished the season in grand fashion winning the reserve tourney in Madi- son. The reserve Olympiannes did not have a very good record, but learned a great deal. “The girls stuck with it the whole year and they gave it their best shot, and that pleases me,” said Preparing for varsity Coach David Newland. Most of the girls thought that the year helped them prepare for upcoming years. “This year should help everyone be bet- ter next year: I know it will help me because I learned a lot,” said Sophomore Carla Bowen. As most of the team moves up to varsity-level volleyball, players should continue to improve, according to Newland. We really tried this year and we should be better next year because of experience, said Sophomore Jill Malan. The reserve baseball team ended its season 7-4. “Our record was about what we expected,” said Coach Larry Shook. Forced to move people between varsity and reserve, the team did not have individual stars, said Shook. “Mike never struck out and made few mistakes.’’ —Coach Larry Shook RESERVE BASEBALL: Row 1: Jody Pugh, Ken Harden.

Reserves 103 1 Within a matter of minutes, the restless audience became more and more attent- ive. For three hours on April 13, students listened to Genetic Counselor Sam Rhine in sur- prise and bewilderment. “The things that he was saying to us made me really think. I thought that the convocation would only pertain to a few people, but it involved everyone,” states Senior Dana Bridge- water. This speaker was just one of many who talked to the students. History large groups lis- tened to Ambassador Ulric Haynes and his tales concerning the hostage crisis. Art teacher Phil Miller also shared with the history classes his collection of German war relics. Along with speakers coming into our school, East sent many students into the community. DECA sent several students to District and State Contest in Madison and Clarksville. “I learned a lot when I went to District. It taught me things, like how to approach a customer. I also had a lot of fun,” says Junior Candy Schultz. Sophomore Donnie Priest and Junior Joan Will- ians whip up a fruit salad in their home econom- ics class. Mr. Tim McNeely discusses a class as- signment with Kathy Bonnell. Junior Sandy Ferguson looks over Junior Ritchie Bates' shoul- der while studying for a history test.

Junior Sue Kent takes advantage of English resource. Reading Day often brings students to sit in comfortable positions. 106 English Reading Day involves students, teachers Students like Junior Paula Gilbert, of- ten sit in resource to prepare for Everywhere in the school, students sit quietly reading books. Teach- ers, administrators, custodians, and even cafeteria workers are supposed to participate in the event. Reading Day, which started at East two years ago, is from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. once a month. ‘‘The real reason we have Reading Day is so the students can see that everyone reads. It is also to show that reading is enjoyable, explains reading lab instructor Rachel Stoner. Although some students don’t like Reading Day many do. Ju- nior Lissa Hass expresses her ideas, “I think it is a good idea because everyone should take sometime to read, and Reading Day is an excellent time to get some reading done.” Most stu- Junior Lissa Hass dents don’t re- alize that read- ing day is a form of English. Of course, English means different things to different students. Senior Jeff Hoeltke likes the mini-courses because it gives me a variety from which to choose. All students have a chance to go to the Indiana Repertory Theatre. There they can see plays produced by professional actors. Junior Kim Robinson tells about the theater, It gives me a chance to get out and see work done by professionals. These plays are usually better than the school plays.” English is more than just grammar; it is everything there is to learning. classes. . . Reading Day is an ex- cellent time to get some reading done.” Two sophomore girls work on a test in small group English. Junior Pam Bannister and coordinator Rachel Stoner admire the new mural.

As part of her child development class Senior Michelle Walter works with a small group of children. Men are domesticated: join forces with girls The low humming of a sewing ma- chine and a delightful odor greet the senses as one steps into the Home Economics De- partment. Here women become housewives and men ‘domestic engineers.’ Learning to cook for himself, shopping for groceries, and budgeting expenses are a few things guys learn about single living. It’s a class that you really can’t measure how much you get out of because life is so unpredictable, commented Senior Clyde Shilling. “Housewives today are under- rated and overworked, says Sen- ior Mary Burbrink. Today’s house- wives are not only cooks, clean- ing ladies and seamstresses, but also they act as nurse, bookkeep- er and mechanic. There is a nursery school that is set up and run by the students. Par- ents bring their children who are taken care of by the students in the child development class. The children’s habits are ob- served by the students as part of class instruction. There is a co-op class to North where a day care center is conducted by the students. “You get to know a lot of different people while working with them,” remarked Senior Vanessa Whited. Sewing and needlecraft are another part that contributes to the home economics depart- ment. Learning new stitches and new styles is the object of the class. “With prices going up people will be making their own clothes,” comments Junior Patty Crouch. “It's a class that you really can’t measure how much you get... life is so unpredictable.” Senior Clyde Shilling 108 Home Economics Junior Robin Richardson intensely sews on her skirt for class.

These students are the ones who are learning a trade. Expe- rience is gained by actual work done on a house or in the shop. Building trades built a house in Greenview subdivision. We did the framing, roofing, and just built the entire house,” states Junior Brian Brock. The house was built in one of the new addi- tions in town and will be sold. Building trades is just one ex- ample of the students working to gain experience. Some people get jobs in the community. These jobs are offered by the businesses to help the students fulfill the course. Not all the classes are for guys; girls are always welcome into any of the courses. Health occu- pations let the students go out and work at different types of nursing jobs. Work at the nursing home, hospital and some dentist offices are avail- able to students who are inter- ested in a specific field. I’ve had the opportunity to work at the nursing home and the hospital. It taught me how to handle the patients who have special problems,’’ explains Senior Sharon Tilley. Vocational classes teach the students and give them the ex- perience of working at a real job at the same time. There is some book work involved, but not very much. Students in vocational classes now have a background to get a good job. “It taught me how to handle patients with special prob- lems.” Senior Sharon Tilley Junior Rich McCoy works intensely on some metals that will be transformed and used. Working together in a vocational elec- tronics class are Juniors Jim Williams and JD Acton. Students in metal fabrications class were taught how to maintain machin- ery.

An old German war flag is presented to the history students by art teacher Philip Miller. Former Ambassador Ulric Haynes re- lates experiences of Iran crisis to so- cial studies students. Speakers enlighten class on world events Machine guns, helmets, and Nazi flags. East students were given a first hand look at German World War I and II weaponry. Philip Mil- ler, a resident art teacher, pre- sented his private collection to en- liven a history study of the wars. Other guest speakers were invited to share their experiences pertain- ing to social studies. George Mun- tean an immigrant from Hungary, told of his escape from Commu- nism, Curt DeClue, a local attor- ney, and Ambassador Ulric Hay- nes who spoke to the class about the hostage situation. 1980, being a presidential elec- tion year, brought many promi- nent political candidates to speak to the government classes Among those invited to speak were Dan Quayle, Robert Hayes and Congressman Lee Hamilton. The students seemed to enjoy hearing the politicians speak. Senior Susan Hanner comments, “They really helped me by explaining their position. I had never listened to a politician speak in person before.” Among the political events that overshadowed 1981 was the hostage crisis. For 444 + days Americans were held by Iranians. This situation involved the people locally because Alg- erian U.S. Ambassador Haynes lives in Columbus. Another shocking event was the attempted assassination of President Reagan. The news of the attempt was quickly broad- cast to the students by East T.V. Studio. Students were surprised by the event. “I had never listened to a politi- cian speak before.” Senior Susan Hanner 112 Social Studies Among the clutter of homework is Senior Kim Burbrink working on a government worksheet. Local attorney, Curt DeClue. talks to the history students about their constitutional rights. Senior Mark Cooper diligently works on his pressing assignment due for an eco- nomic class. Social Studies 113 A small group works on paper mache heads. These heads were done of teachers. Senior Cindy Donica and Phil Miller sit and brainstorm ideas for future art projects. Karen Ollestad cuts out pictures for the collage that the class is working on. Art creates thoughts on paper, walls, canvas A paint smeared smock lies on the chair. Paint brushes are soaking and the smell of turpen- tine fills the air. Art is a creativity of the mind. “The artist tries to get the on- looker to feel and understand the work of art,” explains Junior Trent Rondot. Many of the students have real artistic ability and plan to continue a career in archi- tecture or commercial art. Sen- ior Kathy Jenkins is going to ma- jor in advertising design. Senior Julie Maschino would like to travel and paint. There are some students who have entered contests and won some exciting honors. Senior Kari Janes received a Tom Orr Youth Memorial and a first place ribbon at the Brown County Art Exhibit. This year the classes from the Art Department went on a field trip to the Indianapolis Art Museum. “We drove around In- dianapolis and the bus driver told us about some of the build- ings,” comments Senior Angie Mings. Art is not only limited to the Art Department. This year sev- eral works of art have gone up on the walls around the school. The Home Economics Depart- ment has their logo painted out- side the doors and FFA is work- ing on a logo, also. Outside reading lab is a mural painted by Junior Pam Bannister as her art project. Although art isn’t important to everyone, it is taken seriously. “The artist tries to get the on- looker to feel and understand the work of art.” Junior Trent Rondot 114 Art Senior Lois Arthur concentrates on painting a floral design. This will be used for a silk screen. The Art Department helped to deco- rate a tree in the cafeteria during Christmas. Sophomore Charles Sanders paints a paper mache head. Paper mache is just one of the class projects. Art 115 Farmers learn more as technology advances Horses and hand plows are no longer what the farmer uses to sow his fields. Now, with the modern day technology, the farmer can do ten times as much as he could in the 1800's. Students today learn how to farm to the advantage of the land. The techniques of planting what kind of soil is best, and when to rotate plants are a few of the things taught. In farm management students learn how to keep accurate records, pay taxes, and the gen- eral paper work that accom- panies farming. The Agriculture Department consists of several courses. Ani- mal science is the learning of proper care for the farm ani- mals. Wild life teaches the basic woods in trees and how to mea- sure them. Horticulture is the study of house plants, landscap- ing and greenhouse work. The Future Farmers of Amer- ica is the club that represents the agriculture industry at the high school level. This club is very active. This year nine mem- bers attended the National FFA convention in Kansas City. At the convention they saw slide shows, the Na- tional FFA convention in Kansas City. At the convention they saw slide shows, heard special guest speakers, and went through the Agriculture Hall of Fame. “The convention was to see how the technology of farming has progressed,” remarked Senior Brian Neville. They also attended a rodeo and went through the St. Louis Arch. The FFA Club does more than just farm crops and attend con- ventions. They bought food bas- kets and took them to the con- valescence Center at Christmas. For the second year the FFA chapter competed against the Hauser Chapter in a basketball game. “We hope to get this to be an annual thing,” comments Junior Tom Rayburn. There was also an FFA Week in which there was a bail throw, an obstacle course, a mini-trac- tor pull by the girls, and a corn count. In each event there was active participation. FFA hopes to produce more knowledgeable farmers for the future. “ ... was to see how technology of farming has progressed.” Senior Brian Neville 116 Agriculture FFA: Row 1: Joe Whipker, Steve Hen- sley, Tim Whipker, Gary Stiles, Steve Knight.

Curt Scheller, Lisa Mattingly, Troy Win- terrowd, Maria Kelly, Linda Hockins, and Kevin Faith, participated in the an- nual Spanish wedding. Sophomore Michelle Boyd tends to some food that she entered in a for- eign language cook-off. Spanish traditions taught to students It’s a bird, it's a plane, no. it’s superHaro. Mr. Jim Haro, Spanish teacher, uses his flair for dra- matics to get his students’ atten- tion. Junior Tim Brooks remarks, It was great. Everybody had a stunned look on their face when Haro turned into superman. It just wasn’t something you would expect from a teacher.” Making and eating Spanish dinners are favorite activities of the students. The Halloween dinner of the dead is a Spanish tradition. Everyone brings in some food with ghoulish in- tonations, like a cake decorated as a coffin. For most of the year, the Spanish Club prepares for the Foreign Language Fair at the Commons. Booths are set up to tell about the people of Spain. Children are even given the chance to learn a few words in Span- ish. The annual trip to Spain was made once again by the Spanish students. Cathy Pelic, a 1980 East gradu- ate said, “The countryside was beautiful, as well as the architec- ture in the city. Using the Spanish I knew paid off. The people are much more receptive to you if you try to speak their language. I feel I appreciate the language more.” Easter brings another oppor- tunity to experience a Spanish tradition. Cascarones are eggs hollowed out and filled with rice and decorated. On Easter Sun- day the eggs are hidden. When found, the kids crack the eggs over each other’s heads. Junior Ken Pelic says, “Cascarones are more interesting than the tradi- tional egg hunt here.” “It just wasn’t something you would expect from a teacher.” Junior Tim Brookes 118 Foreign Language Junior Gary Hendricks tests some food made by one of the foreign language classes in a bake-off. Students gather about the Spanish table during the Foreign Language Fair at the mall. Senior Nolan Masters and Steve Brax- ton work with Teresa Blanco, a student from Spain. For the Columbus Day parade the Spanish students prepared a float rep- resenting Spain. Foreign Language 119 Communication: a big role for German class During open house Jerry Baker and the German students demonstrated German dances. Guten Tag! World commu- nication is playing a big role in the for- eign language classes with the third and fourth year German students. These students have been corresponding with Mark- dorf High School in West Ger- many. Markdorf is located 15 miles from the border of Austria, in southwest Germany. The ar- chitectural designer of Markdorf School, also is accredited with the designing of the Olympic Stadium in Munich. “Foreign interest is impor- tant,” stated German teacher Jerry Baker. Baker and several students toured Germany in the summer of 1980. The trip also included seeing parts of Swit- zerland and parts of Austria. The students spent six days in Markdorf, each staying with a spon- soring family. All of the students enjoyed their visit, finding that there really are German speak- ing people. “I thought that it was really important for them to find out that there is definitely such a country where German is spoken fluently, stated Baker. Although they are not in Ger- many, the students still carry on the traditions of the Germans. The club demonstrated a polka dance at open house. Still car- rying on tradition, the students went caroling at Christmas time. German cuisine is sampled by the students preparing breakfast and dinner foods. Sometimes the food is made for bake-offs. .. it was really important for them to find out there is a coun- try that really speaks German.” Jerry Baker GERMAN CLUB: Row 1: Jill Leedom, Becky Collier, Sherri Houp, Sandy Temp- est.

Summer France trip to highlight vacation Sightseeing, museu ms, French food and the Riviera were on the agenda for the French Club’s 1981 excur- sion to France. Five of the club’s members, chaperoned by their teacher Jon Shepler, were in- cluded in the trip which was from June 3 to June 17. Visiting various chateaux and living with the host families are usually an experience in itself, comments Shepler. The French group stayed three days with their host families located at Versailles, in southern France along the Mediterranean seacoast. Historical Paris, the Palace of Versailles, and the Cathedral of Chartres are a few sightseeing highlights. Junior Russ Percifield and Pam Krulitz were sponsored by the Indiana University Honors Pro- gram on a trip to France. They won this honor by high scores on a test given by this program. The two were in St. Brienc, located in Northern France, from June 19 to August 5. They stayed two weeks in dorms and the rest with host families. Classes included courses in French conversation and civili- zation. To earn money for these trips to France and to other places, the French Club sponsored bake sales and sold flowers for May Day. .. living with a host family is usually an experience in itself.” Jon Shepler Foreign Language 121 SENIOR DECA: Row 1: Mr. Dan Keown, Tammy Foist, Kim Zeigler, Pam Perdue, Kelly Pardieck and Kathy Sallee.

I thought I had to be almost last, comments Junior Clifsonja Bennett. The typing contest in which Bennett came in third was a show for the parents during open house. Most students take typing to make life easier in col- lege or by the girls that wish to become secretaries. Junior Wendy Huber com- ments about shorthand, It's a good class to take because it helps you to get a job faster.” Accounting or bookkeeping as some prefer to call it, is a course that is valuable to the fu- ture secretary. It also aids people in home budgeting. Another section of the Busi- ness Department is business math. This class concerns the fundamentals of math that are used in business. Like accounting, business math uses forms and ledgers that pertain to office work. DECA is the class that teaches working in a retail store by actually operating a store. Students are responsible for such things as buying, receiv- ing, checking and marketing all the merchandise. Every year there is a national competition in which the students compete for best advertising displays and sales and service. In the District Career Development Confer- ence the DECA chapter placed second. To raise money DECA had a rock-a-thon. The money was used to purchase new items. I think business classes help prepare the students for busi- ness type jobs.” Junior Connie Smith OEA: Row 1: Diana Whipker and Mary Cochran.

Band earns funds for St. Louis trip Golden arches weren’t the only arches seen by Olympian ---------------------- marching band members this year. From April 23 to April 26 the Olympians marched their way around St. Louis, participat- ing in a band contest and perform at Six Flags. The band sponsored several money making projects for the trip. They sold Chocolate bun- nies that arrived just in time for Easter. Many band members found that the easiest way to get to St. Louis was to “Rock the night away.” The band had a few weeks before leaving. The parents got into the swing of things with a music test in the East gym. It featured various groups from around the area of- fering music for every taste. The tempo really picked up “Group effort makes our band more than a musical group.” Junior Rob Talkington once second semester ar- rived. Not only did the band ------------------ have the trip to prepare for, but also they had state music contest to practice. East attended the contest in April at Batesville and the band received a first rating. This is the highest award a band can re- ceive. The band received a very un- welcome task in the spring as well. There was an attempt by the school board to cut Band Camp from the school program for “budgetary reasons.” The band members proved that band meant as much to them as school athletics or any other ex- tra-curricular activities. By the band pulling together, it was able to show that Columbus still needs Band Camp. The school board voted to keep it.

Science teacher Frank Hughes checks his students’ experiments. Biology stu- dents often use chemicals to test theo- ries. Science lab filled with many different reactions A pungent aroma greets the unsuspect- ing person en- tering the sci- ence lab. The smell is a result of a sulfur experiment by the chemistry students. “Watching chemical reactions,” is what Jun- ior Ted Brown thinks chemistry is about. At least one year of science is required for graduation. Many students pick either integrated science or biology. Integrated science consists of the study of biology and chemistry. Biology students study the sin- gle-celled life forms and a little of plant life. The thing most people dread doing is the dissection of the pig. Another dreaded lab is “spit-lab.” This is where the sali- va is tested with chemicals. “By dissecting the pig we see insides that are similar to the human,” commented Sophomore Jill Zink.

These phrases are used by the director and floor manager at taping. The television production complex occupies 13 rooms in- cluding a large production stu- dio, an audio recording booth, a master control room, video tape storage library, and special rooms necessary for producing professional material. This year East Television made 124 new productions, not including summer school and 1,224 playbacks. Athletic events are only one of the many subjects covered by the TV studio. Special reports such as the hostage coverage and the presidential assassin- ation attempt were brought to the students by the studio. A Television is sometimes brought out into the commons in the morning and at lunchtime for the students to watch something special. I think it’s neat for everyone to be able to sit and watch last night's game or a popular movie,” comments Senior Kim Curry. The television studio is re- sponsible for all shows that are shown on the TV’s in the large group rooms. The TV studio will show something taped off of na- tional television or the teachers do their own demonstration. This year was a record-break- ing one for the Television De- partment. They did more outside contract work than ever before. This year there were 67,914 viewers. “I think it’s neat to be able to watch last night's game ...” Senior Kim Curry Visiting mime and aide Anita Brown work together during a show for the students.

Hands-on training prepares students “Even some- one who is planning to be- come a doctor can find some- thing in industrial arts that they can use in the future,” com- ments Harold Welsh, industrial arts instructor. “Industrial arts should not be confused with vocational classes. Industrial arts is the step before taking vocational classes. Through tak- ing a class students can find a skill that they enjoy. If they like it well enough, they can pursue it further. Many students find that the skill that they originally thought was for them turned out to be boring. They can move onto another area, probably finding something that interests them very much,” states Welsh. This year the Industrial Arts Department received a new piece of equip- ment, an ultra- sonic plastics welder. It was not put to use this year, but it will be used by students next year.This year molds had to be designed for it. Mr. Welsh was able to acquire this equipment through an organ- ization he belongs to. I was at a meeting, and met a sales repre- sentative from the Ultra-Sonic company. I mentioned to him that we could really put one of these machines to good use at East. He said he would try and help us get one and he did just that. We now have one of the fastest plastic welders around.” Industrial arts is much more than meets the eye. It gives the student, boy or girl, a chance to get hands on experience before entering a life of work. “Even someone who is plan- ning to become a doctor can find something in industrial arts.” Harold Welsh 130 Industrial Arts Junior Delores Shelton and Senior John Line wash up after demonstra- tions for parents during Open House.

In addition to fall, winter, and spring concerts given by all choir groups, Clark’s Bars, Spice, Reflections, and Swing Choir performed at private organizations and public schools. In January and February, Swing Choir worked several nights a week to give their own mini-Broadway musical, Show- boat.” “We put in a lot of hours getting the stage and ourselves ready, but it was well worth the time and ef- fort,” said Sen- ior Mark Bow- man. During the Christmas season, their evenings were filled with several Christmas programs for various local and out-of-town organizations. Spice received a first-place at state competition. “Our new im- age really got us motivated,” said Junior Jane Lancaster. Reflec- tions practiced evenings twice a week on music and choreo- graphy.

The background is from members of East Choral Department and the others are actors. The Choir Department has been helping in the musi- cals for a number of years. The choirs also sing at the convalescence center trying to cheer the older people. There are also concerts every year for those interested in hearing the choirs. A Christmas-time con- cert and a spring concert are two of the biggest all year. For money raising projects, the small group choirs sang at a chili supper. Other things done in order to raise money was a car wash and a leaf raking. This year the concert choir sang the Na- tional Anthem at some of the basketball games. It was better than listening to the tape,” com- ments Sophomore Sharie Houp. Tom Hendrickson, senior, team member of the basketball team, also came out and sang for the audience before a game. The choir, like the band, had its many contests to attend. In these contests it is possible to reach national level. The con- tests are held in various cities and people from all over the state come to compete. It’s pretty scary but it’s a good ex- perience,” explains Junior Tracy Todd. “It’s pretty scary but it’s a good experience.” Junior Tracy Todd Concert choir sings ' The National An- them'’ at one of the basketball games.

Plans started at the workshop were in- corporated in this book. Pub productions are power-packed Altis and Oracle staffs joined forces many times this year to raise money for the Publications Department. Flower sales, bake sales, Walt Disney movies, and class spirit chains aided the budget for the expense of 14 Oracle issues and an $18,000 yearbook. “Although our money-raising projects did not always meet our financial needs, we always managed to have lots of fun, said Junior Gail Kitter- man. One honor of the publications staffs was hosting the Indiana High School Press Association convention at Franklin College. Twenty-two students introduced national speakers for journalism sessions at the state convention organized by adviser Janet McKinney. Jo Turone re- placed Senior Tonya Rondot as state student secretary, making this the sec- ond year that East students were elected to the student board. Mc- Kinney was elected president of the adviser division. Another newspaper achive- ment was the special school closing issue, which included in- terviews from 77 prominent members of Columbus. The Altis staff started fresh with only three returning mem- bers. They had a tough act to follow, since the 1980 Altis was awarded a first-place and sec- ond-place rating in a national and local contest, respectively. “We came up with some fresh ideas for a unique book,” said Junior Missy Haymaker. “I’ll remember the procrastina- tion but mostly I’ll remember the laughs and fun that we had.” Senior Tonya Rondot.

PE Availability limited; drivers ed in danger Lines formed at the counselors doors when the students found out that driver education had been dropped from summer school. The school board voted to have the program dropped because of its expense. Last year there were about 255 stu- dents enrolled in summer driver ed, and about that many were affected by the change this year. Sometimes driver ed brings strange happenings to the be- ginner drivers. Junior Tracy Todd recalls a funpy experi- ence. The first time I drove, the driver ed sign slid off the top and went crashing to the ground.’’ Along with the actual driving students are required to do classroom work. Worksheets are to be completed in order to drive. P.E. has added a new twist to its pro- gram, skiing. Along with the many routine sports events, the classes go to many area activi- ties. Ice skating, rollerskating, racquetball, and the newest ad- dition skiing are all part of the activities in which students par- ticipate. The Brown County ski resorts have generously let students come at a discount price. Mr. Murray made arrangements for teachers to ski at discounts too. Sophomore Connie Williams comments, It gives people a chance to try something new with a little or no expense.” There’s not much you can say about health. It’s a require- ment you must have to gradu- ate,” comments Junior Ken Wil- liams. “ ... the drivers ed sign went crashing to the ground.” Junior Tracy Todd Karate black belt demonstrates his technique to the PE class.

They are given the op- portunity to do so on their own time,” com- ments Junior Bill Kazimier. For those people who wish to know more about programming, there is a course offered in sum- mer school. “Math is a vital part of com- puter work. There are a lot of jobs in computers and one needs math for these jobs,” stated Junior Jean Martin.

Unfinished homework, no home- work, and late getting to class are some of the things for which stu- dents make excuses. There are al- ways the students who walk in with a ready-made excuse without even being asked for one. Then there are the ones who have to think up a quick one because they weren’t prepared. One wild excuse was totally unbelievable, relates Miss Cheryl Zuckschwerdt. “This girl comes in and says, ‘My sister is having a baby and I’m her labor coach so I won’t be in for a few days,’ of course I didn’t believe her. Among some of the new ex- CD cs co CD CO 15 O X D CD E o CO cr aJ cuses, there are always the old ones. My dog chewed it up” and “my little brother ate it,” are still used to try to es- cape punishment. Teachers also re- ceive funny stories from parents. Mr. Jerry Baker had a parent call with this to say, “I don’t understand why my daughter wants to learn to speak Russian. If English was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for my daughter.” “My sister is having a baby and I’m her labor coach, so I won’t be in for a few days.” A teacher can tell when a story is authentic by who is telling it. A habitual excuse maker’s stories will be told with practice and at ease. Someone without this prac- tice is scared and ill-at-ease. It is always up to the teacher whether or not he will accept the excuse or give punishment for not fulfilling the obligation. But, of course, the students will try anything once. Excuses that bother me are ones when I know that the stu- dent is using others to lie,” said Mrs. Janet McKinney. Of course, worse than questionable excuses from students are ones from parents.” 144 Faculty Andrew Galbraith, English Louis Giovanini, Business Tom Hadley, Driver’s Educa- tion Jim Haro, Spanish Cliff Hess, Audio-Visual Leon Hoffman, Social Studies Frank Hughes, Science Ray Jones, Industrial Arts Bob Kasting, Science Yvonne Kenyon, Special Ed.

John Anderson comments, “She keeps the class laid back. You don’t have to worry about being attacked by a domineering teacher.” She feels the only way to survive as a teacher is to have a sense of humor. The most important thing to me is the kids and you must make them feel at ease.” After 28 years of teaching, she has decided to retire. It seems 05 O E c ) like a good year to get out. With all the drastic changes coming to the school system, I thought it was best to get out before it all hap- pens,” she comments. All the English teach- ers agree that she is really a terrific teacher and that they will miss her greatly. She says she, “will miss the members of the English Department but most of all the kids.” Her face lights up as she recalls one memory. “In my first year of teaching there was this big, big “We really think she is retir- ing to join the coaching staff under Coach Bobby Knight.” Mrs. Peg Lego, English aide boy that was causing trouble. I told him if he didn’t stop I would take him out of the room. Well, as soon as I had said that the trouble started. I walked up to him and he apolo- gized.” She continued with a sequel to the event. “Well 15 years later I got into a cab and I got the feeling that the driver was looking at me. He turned around and it was the same kid I had had to deal with.” Mrs. Lawless has a favorite coach, Bobby Knight. He once sent her a personally autoqraphed copy of his picture. Mrs. Peg Lego, with an air of mischievousness, comments, We really suspect she is retiring to join the coaching staff under Coach Bobby Knight.” 148 Faculty Harold Welsh, Industrial Arts David Whitehouse, Social Studies Jim Wilhelm, Social Studies Harold Wishon, Industrial Arts James Worley, English Jack Young, Science Linda Young, Math Cheryl Zuckschwerdt, English Wanda Lawless’ sense of humor makes the class more enjoyable.

After I got here I found out they are human too and real nice people.” After her 30 years of service Margaret will be retiring school year 1981-82. “Next year will be my last,” she says thoughtfully. To the students who have long since grad- uated Margaret will always be a major memory of their high school days. To the new students who will not be fortunate enough to know her, they don't know what they will be missing.

Mostly the aides enjoy are most congenial and they are most appreciative,” explains Peg Lego. Several of the ladies have had no special training other than on- working with the stu- dents to see them suc- ceed. Other factors that persuaded these ladies to take this type of de- manding job was the fact that their kids keep the same hours and they will have no con- flicts with a job in the summer. All of the aides must have patience to get along with the people with whom they are in- volved every day. “I prefer to think that I work with rather than for 12 teachers. They the-job.

January 20 saw America get a new president and have 50 of their fellow Americans released after being held more than a year in Iran. Students watched hoping for a fresh start. The night before that East had survived the clutches of school closure. Students worked together making banners, signing petitions, and wearing black armbands to show that they did not want their school to close, after an attempt in the community to do just that. Beth Willy and Pam Jackson laugh it up at the an- nual Senior Picnic in Brown County State Park. A pantomime show causes the Commons to over-flow. Senior Teri Murphy “blows away time at the fall Powder Puff football game in which the seniors score. Its all in how you look at 156 People Divisional PEOPLE People Divisional 157 Still many decisions to make There are many decisions to make dur- ing the senior year in high school. As graduation approaches, the senior must begin to set the course for the rest of his life. There are many paths from which to choose. Some will get a job and begin working after graduation. Some will get married. Still others will go to college and continue their education. The decision is up to the student. This decision-making process starts very early in life when the senior is a young child trying to decide what he wants to be when he grows up. The things a young child decides to do are of- ten very different from what actually takes place. Sometimes, however, the same goal continues the entire time a person grows up. Bill Zeigler, a senior, always wanted to be a policeman when he was a little boy. Today, he is still planning to become a policeman. Tom Hendrickson, another senior, is planning on a career as a pro- fessional football player, an ambition he has had since he was a little boy. More often than not, ambitions change as a person gets older and is exposed to more of the world. After all, not everyone can be dancers, teachers, and firemen. Senior Bob Gray grew up wanting to be a fireman, but now he has set his hopes on becoming a building contractor. To be an airline hostess was the ambition of Eleanor Davie, a senior, when she was still a little girl. Special education has re- placed airline hostess as career goal today. The glamorous life of a movie star, a dancer, or a professional athlete looks very inviting when one is young; how- ever, as one grows older, one begins to think that a perhaps some other field would be better. Vanessa Whited and Tonya Rondot, both seniors, used to dream of becoming dancers while Chris Ogle, a senior, used to dream of becom- ing a professional soccer player. What once looked so inviting now seems to be only a dream from long ago. 158 Seniors BARB ABLE DAVID ABNEY JO ALLMAN JOHN ANDERSON ANDY ANDIS JIM APPLE SHARON ARBUCKLE JOE ARNHOLT LOIS ARTHUR BRENDA AXSOM JOLEEN BAACK KAREN BABBS ALYN BAILEY BARBARA BAKER MARK BAKER STEVE BAKER MIKE BALTUS MICHELLE BANISTER BRYAN BANNISTER PAM BANNISTER VICKI BARNARD BRIAN BARNES KIM BATES DANA BATTIN PAM BEAN LINK BEHYMER TERRY BELUSH GREG BISHOP DAVID BLACK RAMONA BLANTON Seniors 159 RYAN BODE TIM BOKELMAN KATHY BONNELL GINA BOROUGHS DIANA BOTTORFF RON BOWEN MARK BOWMAN LARRY BRANDT WILLIAM BREEDLOVE DANA BRIDGEWATER STEVE BROERING LEE BROWN JACKIE BROWN CHERYL BRUMBAUGH KEITH BRUMMETT KIM BURBRINK MARY BURBRINK RANDAL BURK RICK BURTON GRETCHEN BUSH STEVE BYRD MANDI CAMPBELL DEBBIE CARMER TODD CARTEAUX JANET CLARK SUSAN COBB MARY COCHRAN LISA COMER TERESA COMPTON DONNA CONDON 160 Seniors SHELLY CONWAY KEITH COOPER MARK COOPER BRYAN CORRELL REX COTTRILL RICHARD COX KIM CURRY INGO CYLIAX JOY DAUGHERTY PAM DAVIDSON ELEANOR DAVIE KEN DAVIS SALLY DAVIS ANGIE DEATON CAREY DeCLUE Happy to be back home “It's hard to live away from your parents, but this is still my home,” said Todd Kirchoff. Todd moved to Mexico City, Mexico, at the end of his junior year. “I came back to be with my friends and to graduate because this is more my class than the kids in Mexico were,” said Todd. I feel like I missed a lot, but no one changed as much as I thought they would.” Todd says that he was welcomed back by all the seniors, and this has helped him over- come his homesickness. Mom wasn’t ready to see me leave, but she understood why I wanted to come back.” He plans to return to Mexico to spend the summer with his mother and father. He will then return to Indiana in the fall to attend Vincennes University, where he plans to study electrical engineering technology. Todd said he appreciated a “Welcome Back” banner which was hung in the Com- mons. It felt great. I didn’t expect it at all. It made me feel back at home again. Seniors 161 162 Seniors Encouragement from 13 Encouragement from older brothers and sisters is always a big part of getting involved in school activities. But Elaine Fischer, ESA president, had a little more encouragement than the average “little sister. Coming from a family of 13 children, Elaine was encouraged to participate by the six members of her family who came to East be- fore she did. Five members had been ESA members or officers. Elaine has been a member of ESA since her sophomore year, and was vice president last year. She said she decided to run for president because, “I thought I knew what was going on in the ESA.” She was encouraged to become involved in the plays and musicals by four of her broth- ers and sisters. “Greg and Jon really in- fluenced me to join because they were al- ready in the musical. It gave me a ride home after practice.” Elaine plans to attend Purdue University and major in either horticulture or dietetics.

But for Teri Murphy, the dream became a little closer to reality one evening at a basketball game. I was cheering at a game in North Vernon and a man was taking pictures of me. He came up to me after the game and asked me if I would be interested in modeling, said Teri. During summer 1980, Teri and the man, Joe Ringer, a photographer from South Bend, made four portfolios. The pictures have been sent to national magazines. She gave up plans to attend Purdue Uni- versity just in case an offer comes through. In the meantime, Teri modeled for a garden magazine, and is planning to model in style shows during the summer. The only sacrifice Teri made, other than college, was about 15 pounds which Ringer suggested she lose before the summer. Teri said, “I'll be happy if I get a modeling job, but I seriously doubt that I will.” Seniors 165 Coaches help Hodel Six years ago, when girls were first allowed on a basketball court in uniforms instead of only in a cheerleading sweater, Denise Hodel began playing basketball. Since then, she has run up quite an impres- sive record. Denise now plays both basketball and volleyball, and plays softball in the sum- mer for a team which last year went to the state finals. Included on her list of achievements are two broken track records, captain of the volleyball team, MVP of both teams, plus all- conference and all-regional recognition. Denise was a member of the basketball and volleyball teams which were state runners-up last year. She said, “I’m glad that I had a chance to play on those teams and to make it that far. Denise plans to attend Indiana University and hopes to play volleyball. Denise attributes her success to her coaches, saying, “The coaches have helped to improve my skills quite a bit. I was a lot worse when I started out.” JIM JACKSON PAM JACKSON BECKY JACOBS GREG JANES KARI JANES DAVID JAQUESS KELLY JARRETT KATHY JENKINS DIANE JEWELL JULIE JOHNS KIM JOHNSON STACY JOHNSON DANIEL JOHNSON-BEY YVONNE JOHNSON-BEY TERRI JONES 166 Seniors TIM JONES WILLIAM JORDAN DESIREE JOY KAY KALSTRUP MIKE KAMMAN KIM KELLER CRAIG KELLY BECKY KELLY TRISHA KELLY JILL KEMP BARB KERN KIP KIEL SCOTT KIEL TIM KING TODD KIRCHOFF GREG KIRKENDALL RICHARD KNIGHT ANDY KNOTT CINDY KRULITZ TIM LAWSON CAROLYN LEAHIGH SCOTT LEDBETTER JOHN LINE AUDREY LOYD JENIFFER LUCAS KIM LUCAS MIKE LUCAS CHET LYKINS LORI LYNCH CHRISTINE MACE Seniors 167 ALLAN MAJOR DAVID MANN TRACI MARSH JULIE MASCHINO CATHY MATHENY KELLY MATLOCK JANET MATZ JULIE MAUDLIN DIANA McCART RUSSELL McCLURE CATHY McGEE teresa mckinney paula mcmillan DON McNEILL DARREN MERRICK JULIE MERRICK CINDY MERRIS PHIL MILES AUDIE MILLER ANGIE MINGS GREG MOODY MARCELLA MOON WAYNE MOORE KELLI MOUSER LISA MULLINS TERI MURPHY TONY MURPHY VICCI NEAL TIM NELSON CRAIG NETH 168 Seniors BRIAN NEVILLE MARK NEVILLE BARRY NEWLIN BETH NEWTON LAM NGUYEN TIM NICELEY DAVID NICHALSON KEITH NOLTING LEE ANN NOLTING GREG NORMAN CHRIS OGLE STEVE OTTE PAM OVERFELT DARREN PARDIECK KELLY PARDIECK Winning art expressions For Cindy Krulitz, art is more than a pas- time. It is a form of expression, and Cindy has the talent needed to express herself very well. Interested in art since kindergarten, Cindy especially enjoys painting and fine arts. She had taken four years of art less- ons at the high school level, and also works on projects in her spare time. Cindy found an unusual way of earning extra spending money for the Christmas season. She sold prints of an ink scratch drawing which she did while in art class during the first semester. To her, art is more than a hobby; it is a way to express her feelings and her thoughts. It is also an outlet for emotions. “If I get mad at somebody, I can draw to get rid of those emotions and calm down, said Cindy. In addition to entering prints in art shows in Virginia, where Cindy recently moved from, she had drawings in the Brown County art show earlier this fall. Seniors 169 Caravan of seniors Hiking, frisbee, horseback riding, and foot- ball became the topic of the day early last fall on Thursday, October 30, as the Senior Class had its first annual fall picnic at Brown County State Park. Warm, sunny weather and lots of friends helped make the day an especially memo- rable one for all seniors who attended. Students met at school and then traveled in a caravan to the park, where they then scat- tered to ride horses, throw frisbees, and ad- mire the fall colors of Nashville. The crazy antics of fellow classmates dur- ing an impromptu football game kept seniors laughing. Most agreed they had a great time, in spite of complaints about sore legs and feet from hiking through the hills of scenic Brown County. Traditionally, the senior picnic has been in the spring, but the class of ’81 decided to start their own tradition. Another picnic was planned for the spring.

Chris Williams, valedictorian, has ex- perienced this nightly schedule a large majority of his high school years, and the work has paid off. For Chris, “lazy” isn’t a word in his vocabulary. Mr. Andy Galbraith, English teacher, would tend to use topflight and probably best” to describe Chris as a student. He has the energy to do many things and the ability to do them well,” said Galbraith. However, Chris seems to know that all work and no play makes for a very boring life. He was captain of the swim team, and could be seen at every home game. Chris also plays the violin in the Indiana Youth Symphony. Seniors 173 174 Seniors European music pay-off Most things a person sticks with pay off in the end. For Craig Neth, the reward is a trip to Europe to tour with the Collegiate Wind Band. Craig got involved in band in junior high, and after six years, the hard work and long practice sessions have finally paid off. He and other members of the band, stu- dents from around the country, will visit France, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, England, Germany, and will perform at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. “I feel very honored about going. It will cost each of us $1,600—it’s my graduation present, he said. The three-week tour will begin near the end of July. During the time the 60 students are in Europe, they will also get the chance to sight- see and will visit European families. When Craig returns, he will be attending Purdue University to study computer science and join the Purdue band.

Tom sings the national anthem at a home basketball game. The Concert Choir sang in the background. Brian Vance’s life has a whole new prospective. He has Tom Hendrickson as a Big Brother. Most people associate Tom with only sports, failing to recognize his commu- nity activities. Many of his sum- mer activities are centered a- round children. “I like to help kids and I feel like I’ve been really lucky with my folks. I want kids to have the same opportunities that I’ve had. He worked at Vacation Bible School, Pence Street Play- ground, and coached a Tee-ball team. Sometimes he helps “Mom” with her Sunday school class at Grace Lutheran Church. Tom sums up his hectic life with a chuckle saying, “keeping active keeps me out of trouble! Tom soars over his Brown County Eagle opponent to score an easy two points. He played as a forward. On February third, Tom gave his long- awaited press conference speech an- nouncing his plans to attend I.U. During a play rehearsal of Little Mary Sunshine,” Tom takes a few minutes to memorize his lines before going on. 176 Tom Hendrickson Tom Hendrickson ebruary 3, 1981. The room was totally silent. Reporters and photog- raphers remained mo- tionless with their notepaper and cameras ready. He stepped up to the podium. Within a few seconds, the long awaited an- nouncement was no longer a se- cret. Tom Hendrickson an- nounced his plans to attend Indiana University on a football scholarship. Tom’s athletic accomplish- ments are phenomenal. Besides innumerable achievements in basketball and track, he was All- Conference and All-State his ju- nior and senior years in football and MVP in 1980. The coaches named him to the 100-player All- American squad with a three-year record of 33-3. BLOOD, SWEAT, AND CHEERS! Tom takes a water break during the annual Pigskin scramble against North. ittle Mary Sunshine added a new light to Tom Hen- drickson’s life. “Being in the play was an all new experi- ence for me. The last play that I was in was in sixth grade.’’ His involvement in music was an important part of his aca- demic and social life. He was a member of Concert Choir for three years and Swing Choir for two. I’ve always liked to sing, but it was until high school that I didn’t feel like a sissy ... I re- member seeing Rick Dwenger singing and I thought that if he could do it, so could I. I wound up joining.” Tom takes a time-out from his fast- paced life to read by himself. Tom Hendrickson 177 Juniors take big step to jobs Getting a job is a big step. It takes time and effort to work part-time while attending school, yet many juniors find themselves tak- ing that step. What is the reason many juniors seek part- time employment? “I need the money for spending money and also to save for col- lege,” says Maria Anne Kelly, a junior. Clothes, movies, dates, and other “neces- sities” tend to deplete spending money rap- idly. One of the biggest expenses juniors have is an automobile. The car is a wonderful invention and most juniors are able to drive. The freedom and convenience of an automo- bile does come at a price, however. With the price of gas rising rapidly, holding down a job is almost necessary in order to pay for gas. The hope of buying one's own car has also caused many juniors to join the working world. Even with all the expenses involved, driving a car gives a student enough freedom to make accepting a job possible, especially since family and friends are no longer the sole means of transportation. However, borrowing the family car or owning one’s own wheels brings with it other decisions and adjustments related to working. The time required in order to hold down a part-time job can sometimes cause trouble with schoolwork. The heavy work load given to juniors has caused a few to quit their jobs and has caused others to learn to budget their time better. Kim Senn, a junior, said, “It does interfere with my schoolwork sometimes. I run track af- ter school; then I go to work. I have to try to get my work done at school or else do it at night when I get home.” Teresa Moore, an- other junior, did not find her job taking the place of studying. “I just try to budget my time now that I have a job,” said Teresa. Working juniors can be seen all over Co- lumbus. Many work at local fast-food restau- rants doing things like taking orders, pre- paring food, and also cleaning up. Other jobs range from assisting in a medical office to guarding at the local ice-skating rink.

Albums are abundant and rest easily in the rack. An electric guitar and amplifier occupy a cor- ner of the room. He walks casually towards the guitar, straps it around his shoulder, and turns up the Pevey amplifier. “I've been playing for two years,” said Junior Ron Roberts. “An older friend got me started. He said, I had music lab my sophomore year. After that, I decided it was easier to learn to play on my own, so I didn’t take any more lessons.” Ron has thought about a career in music. He said, “If I ever joined a band, it (the band’s music) would be mostly rock and roll.” 180 Juniors George Gross, Luann Hadley. Dan Hale, Beth Hamilton, Teresa Ham- pton, Jodi Hand.

He explains, “It builds up your coordination. It is not like football, which is physical. Karate has more to do with con- centration.” A new member of the class, Junior Brent Muellenburg says, “I'm taking it to get in good physical and mental condition.” Junior Steve Pierson, another newcomer, has a different reason for joining.

Frohman, as well as other members of East’s swim team, has been under the direc- tion of swim coach, Dave Fribley. Frohman revealed that he and Mr. Fribley have an in- teresting relationship. “He is more than a coach to me. He has proved to be someone whom I can confide in and trust. He is a super person,” stated Mike. Frohman competed mainly this year in the 100-yard breaststroke. However, he competed also in the individual medley relay, and in the 200-yard medley relay. Asked how he thought the team would do next year, Mike positively replied, “The team can do whatever it really wants to do.” As a student, Mike Frohman likes to spread himself out. “I try to combine as many activi- ties as possible with my academic work,” he conveyed. Frohman relayed that he studies at least one to two hours a day. His plans after high school include college and as far as his goal in life is concerned, Mike stated, “My goal is to be successful and happy. As in- spirator for Mike Frohman the swimmer, Mike's mother is also his academic encour- agement, as Mike reveals, “My mother has in- fluenced my academics, mostly by pressuring me at home to do well and to make my own decisions.” Foremost on Frohman’s list of “likes” about East are the close working relation- ships between faculty and students. “Being able to work side by side with friends and teachers, said Mike. Mike also revealed that he likes the system at East and cannot think of any way to improve it. Modular scheduling has no negative effect on Mike’s school life, as he relates, “I enjoy it and try to use it to my advantage.” Mike was unable to pinpoint a “most ex- citing moment” during his two years at East because as he stated, “A lot of exciting things happen that are exciting.” However, Frohman reveals his most embarrassing mo- ment at East was when he had to enter school the day after the State swim meet. It seems that the 'determination to win’ for the East swim team members was of more impor- tance than the hair on their heads, so to speak. Mike explains, My most embarrass- ing moment at East was probably the day af- ter the State meet. I had to come to school with my head completely shaved!” Frogman Frohman swims to State, breaks 7 records At the tender age of five, East junior, Mike Frohman began his swimming career. Of all his inspirations, Mike feels that his mother ranks number one. “Behind all of my swim- ming efforts is one person, my mother,” stated Frohman. Through his efforts, Mike Frohman has bro- ken seven records at East and five for the Donner Swim Team. According to Mike, the toughest thing about swimming is the prac- tice. It’s physically and mentally draining and I hate it, but I wouldn’t give it up,” he re- vealed. Like many swimmers, Mike Frohman has a goal in mind. “My main goal is to win Sophomores driven to drive As a sophomore it is more than likely that one will be exposed to either driver’s educa- tion or the long-awaited driver’s license. Re- ceiving a driver’s license is an event many wait for impatiently, counting the days until that important sixteenth birthday, then wait- ing yet another month. The step usually taken before the license, is driver's education, a course taken at school. Driver’s ed., as it is commonly called, consists of two parts, the classroom phase and the driving phase. A unique part of the classroom phase is called simulation. In simulation the student sits at a machine which resembles the driver’s seat and controls of a car. The stu- dent operates it as if he or she was driving a car. Different situations are shown on a movie screen and the students “drive” their “cars” accordingly. Dan Hickey, a sophomore, thought driver’s ed. was important. “You need to take driver’s ed. because if you don’t, you probably won’t be able to drive very well,” said Dan. There are differing opinions on this matter, however. Bruce Farrar, a sophomore, said, “I thought driver’s ed. was a waste of time. Most of the things we did didn’t make much sense and a lot of it was just busy work.” Whether driver’s ed. was worth it or not, if a student has completed the driver’s ed. course, he or she may get their license when sixteen years and one month old. Without driver’s ed. a person must be sixteen years and six months old. A few months may not seem like such a long time, but to someone who impatiently awaits the time when the car will be theirs to drive, it may seem like a lifetime. Mike McNeely, a sophomore, puts it this way, “I’m really looking forward to when I get my license. I can’t wait!” Sophomore Kent Burkman played the part of a forest ranger in the spring musical, “Little Miss Mary Sun- shine.” 186 Sophomores Angie Abel, Tonia Action, Ken Ah- Ibrand, Tracy Alberti, Shane Alison, Kelly Allman, Brock Anderson, John Anderson Jeroyl Anderson, Denise Applegate, Richard Artis, Denice Atnip.

Karen works out 16-18 hours a week with her coach in Carmel. She started skating seriously when she was twelve. In April, Karen competed in the Tri-State competition, placing second in her group. Karen says her most exciting experience was “when I received roses after I had skated in the Spring Ice Show from my brother, Bob, and his friends. This was very important. Presently, Karen is training for the regional, hopefully working her way to the nationals. She would like to turn professional and per- form in ice shows and later teach skating. Karen says that her parents, grandparents, brother, and his friends give her the incentive to keep skating. ‘They’ve all been very help- ful and are always there to tell me to keep go- ing and to strive for what I want. This has helped me tremendously.” 188 Sophomores Dallas England, Vicki England.

Before the afternoon was over, David received word that he had once again won first place in the Youth Division. David’s other awards include the Tom Orr Youth Purchase award, first place in the Brown County Art Show, and a Golden Key award, enabling him to advance to the na- tionals in New York City. Art is seeing—taking the time to analyze things,” said David. During the last few weeks of school David had difficulty concentrating. All he could think about was his summer trip to France.

She models for J.COLE in Colum- bus and did a style show for L.S. AYRES in Greenwood. “Mom looked in the papers for jobs which included modeling, and she finally found one from AYRES; it just offered classes. I went up there and everything has been going fine since,’’ said Douglas. She has wanted to model for years and has had her picture taken for J.COLE ads in the Republic and Oracle. Also, she has made films for L.S. AYRES. Before her senior year she wants to go to Chicago or New York to find a summer mod- eling job. After her senior year she may at- tend Bauder College in Miami, Florida. Douglas has another interest which is ten- nis. She first played tennis when she was eight years old. She plays for Donner Park team and East. During the summer she has traveled to eight different tournaments in In- diana. Also, Douglas is interested in skiing and other sports.

Opposite page: City library. 198 Columbus Columbus: more than it appears Once upon a time Columbus, Indiana, was known as the small mid-western town with a doughnut mill, distinguished architecture, and the home of Cummins Engine Company’s World Headquarters. Today the town of Colum- bus has grown up, and Columbus East High School has played a big part in the growth of this mid-western town. Columbus East High School has produced one of the finest quarterbacks in the United States, Blair Kiel. During his first year attending Notre Dame, Blair attained the position of starting quar- terback for the University, the first freshman to do this in 29 years. East has also played host to many distinguished visitors from all areas of life through the Distinguished Visitors Series. Some of the speakers include Tom Brokaw, host of the Today Show; Julian Bond, former United Nations repre- sentative; and Gretchen Wyler, actress. The East Student Assembly played an active part in community events. A special “Spring Fashion Fling was in April. The ESA sponsored this event in which many of the local clothing stores had a chance to show off their spring and summer fashions. Columbus is building a new city hall this year, and the ESA donated $91.00 to the fund to buy art for the new building. Columbus is inhabited by many outstanding citizens. One member of our community, Ulric Haynes, recently received national attention dur- ing the negotiations for the release of the Ameri- cans held hostage in Iran. Haynes was the Ameri- can ambassador to Algeria, the country that served as a go-between for Iran and the United States. Columbus is still known for its doughnut mill, its distinguished architecture, and for Cummins En- gine Company, but we have made ourselves known for our personal accomplishments, too. Columbus has grown up and is now living happily ever after. Columbus 199 iH '1 k } Despite rising inflation, merchants and community continued to support East. The city of Columbus built a new City Hall, in the style befitting to Columbus archi- tecture. Several merchants opened new branches at the West Hill Shopping Center. Many of these same merchants participated in the ESA and community fashion shows at both Commons areas. As the world was watching the Iran crisis, Columbus took a little closer look. Ulric Hay- nes, Ambassador to Algieria, is from Colum- bus. Mayor Nancy Ann Brown declared Feb- ruary 6, 1981 Ulric Haynes Day. Yellow ribbons were replaced with red, white and blue ribbons. East, besides watching the Iran crisis, was fighting to stay open. There was a move in the community to close East. Once again community and students proved combining efforts reaps success. The school board voted on January 19, 1981, to keep East open, 7-0. Senior Eric Scheidt bravely donates his blood to the Red Cross. At an open ESA meeting, members and teachers discuss measures to be taken by the stu- dents concerning the threat to close East. Ulric Haynes speaks to history classes about his experiences as Ambassador to Algeria during the hostage crisis.

Index 237 It's all in how you look at 238 Closing From the outside, East reminds one of “White Castle, standing tall and looking cold, harsh, and uninviting. Inside, the long, dark hallways and miles of gray carpeting lead into huge, window- less, large group rooms leaving one to feel alone and unimportant. This is not the case at all. East is a school where individuality and nonconformity are readily accepted, but banning together for a common cause to work as a unit creates an atmosphere very different from the first impression. When East was threatened to be closed, stu- dents joined together to protest and let the school live. Black arm bands were worn at school and during basketball games. “At first a lot of people didn’t understand what the black armbands were all about, said Junior ESA member Andrea Agostinelli. When we explained to them what they represented, everyone was more than willing to help us out.” Petitions were carried throughout the city and letters of protest were written. Stu- dent government representatives met with influ- ential city residents in an effort to add to East's community support. Looking from the outside in, one can see only the cold, dark appearance that the school build- ing gives. From the inside looking out, one sees individual students filled with pride and dignity working together. Indeed, the White Castle” still stands, will al- ways stand tall and proud. OUR SCHOOL Closing 239 No matter how you look at it, East is a unique school. Not only is the educational program special with its modular scheduling, but so is the building which houses this system. A unique thing about East High School is the way the design responds to the educational pro- gram, stated Ehrman B. Mitchell, one of the arch- itects who designed the school. East is one of the first schools to be built for the modular scheduling system from the ground up. The modular scheduling sys- tem allows for one hundred percent use of the school as opposed to seventy percent under other educational sys- tems,” said Mitchell. Energy conservation was not a factor considered in the design of the building when the windows were placed along the back of the school. Those windows have un- intentionally turned out to be of value when it comes to energy conservation. According to Mitchell, The windows in the back of the school have turned out to be useful in allowing the sun to warm the Commons in the winter.” Whether looking at East’s building, scheduling, faculty, or students, East is one of a kind.
