With the crowding of hall- ways, East becomes one long line to wait in, even to see a counselor. Right, Junior Dana Buck and Sophomores Dan- ny Axsom, Jay Hardesty, John Buck, and Jeff Hughes wait their turn. Even in field events, students line up to watch a football game. With the addition of fresh- men to the high school came the increase in time spent waiting in lines. The stairwells were fuller as people waited for their turn to either enter or exit on certain floors. The line at the beginning of the school year for books stretched in a circle in front of the bookstore to the ramp leading to the Music Depart- ment. Lunch lines frequently end- ed at the stairs in the cafete- ria. Getting an ID picture tak- en was nearly impossible. As for these five Olympians, waiting in line to see a coun- selor was another test of pa- tience. by Karen Eyler Just as students do, teachers have some time free to catch up on a few things. Some teachers grade papers, plan upcoming assignments or pa- trol the resource areas. Above Mrs. Judy Bonnell, surrounded by bottles of acids and shelves of jars, studies for a biology class she is taking at IUPUI Columbus. Right teachers eat their lunch in the company of other teachers. Student Life 20

Columbus' architecture brings roughly 40,000 tour- ists to the town per year. The tourists come to the town of 32,000 with their cameras to go to the city's Visitor's Cen- ter. Some people tour the city on their own and some take the guided bus tours. Two fa- vorite buildings in Columbus are the North Christian Church (left) and down- town's First Christian Church. Both buildings were designed by Eliel Saarinen, designer of St. Louis' arch. Photographer Jim Haselden, Junior, catches the First Christian Church through the arch, lo- cated in front of the county library. The police knew right away who stole Leon and Jean Kaloostian's car on Tuesday morning, April 10. At about 5:00 that morn- ing, two men abducted two waitresses from a Waffle and Steak restaurant in Franklin and raped them at gunpoint. Police promptly set up road- blocks throughout area counties. As police were pur- suing the vehicle, it drove over a guardrail and crashed. The police arrested one of the men; however, one es- caped. So when Kaloostian report- ed his car stolen at 7:16 a.m. the sheriff's department ar- rived at his house within one minute of the report. Later, city police and state police came to the house. Kaloostian's daughter, Donna, is a freshman at East. They were pretty scared, said Donna. They called school as soon as they found that the car was stolen to make sure I was safe. Kaloostian and his wife were home with Donna and another daughter, Liane, 8, at the time of the theft, around 7 a.m. I first found out about it when I was coming home from school, said Donna. My sister told me, but I didn't believe her. When I got home I saw it on the front page of the newspaper. He was on all the news broadcasts from Indianapo- lis, too, said Donna. I felt weird having my dad on T.V. by Jay Frederick Hunting is a very controver- sial topic at East. Some stu- dents hunt for sport; howev- er, others think that it is inhu- mane and unnecessary. Junior Samantha Battin com- mented, It's okay to an ex- tent. It's not okay if they're killing them just to be killing them. Three student hunt- ers at East are Seniors Kevin Henry and Brian Martin and Freshman Chris Clancy.

The tone rings. Classes assemble to their seats. Sud- denly, you find yourself standing in front of a large group of people. You stare out into the audience to find them staring back. You be- gin your speech, but, all at once, your mind goes blank. You totally forget if you were going to speak about genet- ics or mind control. With your face turning beet red, you stammer for words — or even a plead for help. At least once in a lifetime, nervousness is something ev- ixswess eryone has experienced. Dif- ferent people experience this anxiety in different ways for various reasons. Senior Paula Federle becomes nervous when she is in front of a large group of people. I don't like it when all eyes are on me, she replied. Junior Mark Burton be- comes nervous upon enter- ing the school parking lot. I'm scared that I will hit something — or someone, Burton commented. by Karen Eyler Techniques that can be used in the process of cheating in- clude writing on folders or even looking off someone else's paper. Left, when pos- ing for shoes in the fads and fashions article in the Oracle, this student's secret algebra clues were uncovered by sur- prise. Far below, showing signs of nervousness can sometimes be concealed. In the Home- coming court Gary Stam, Seniors Angie Stam, Shane Hankins and Russanna Petro and Juniors Chris Bryant and Shana Kirkland are passive in the suspense of the crown- ing. Senior Steve Tucker and Junior Barry Broering do not try to hide their tension of the game.
