 ot at all camera shy. Senior Jeff Parker puts on a show in the Commons for his audience of thousands. s the new artwork for the school to faithfully watch over, construction fills nearly every site in the building. t ookinq At A Different Angle All one sees is a mass of steel and water spots, but inside lurks the personality of a deranged water fountain. After all of this mistreatment, the fountains are fighting back. The one by Room AQ9 sprays water on your pants while the one on the second floor puts your eyes out. Some even refuse to function any longer. What does this water fountain war have to do with East? Nothing! It is just an ex- ample of how different an interior person- ality can be. East has the white-collar, aca- demic side, and at the same time has the mischievous, daring, lighter half. No, some are not afraid to laugh out loud in the Commons while throwing the empty Coke can from the top of the stairs. Sure, a frisbee was tossed across the room. Don't forget, either, the choice words used against the construction in the library area. Olympians had some unusual ways to entertain themselves. If someone collect- ed the pennies that were hurled across the cafeteria, they could buy the new Chevy which was parked sideways next to the gym. Also, someone should write a book with all the excuses used when one misses a bus. Some turn out to be legiti- mate. Sophomore Dwight Denney told one of his stories, One time my mother wouldn’t wash my pants.

Instead of an hour after school studying, some are believed to sleep in the boring place” or doodle on the desk.” Whatever the crime, detention seems to be the favorite” of all disciplin- ary actions. Whoever eats, sleeps, laughs, or screams in the Commons, this copy is for you. It’s not an illness or something to be ashamed of. You are just contributing to the lighter side of East. by Marge Goodwin 24 Lighter Side
