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.
