Columbus East High School 230 South Marr Road Columbus, IN 47201 Volume 15 Table of Contents { ust a brief time ago Columbus East opened its doors to a community eager for educational innovation and variety along with a greater emphasis on individual instruction. During these fifteen years East fulfilled these worthy goals and gave the community much more. The list of accomplishments fea- tures state and national competi- tion for students and teachers. Despite the outstanding performances and record of achieve- ments, committees gathered to discuss the possibility of merging East with cross-town rival North. Although lip service was given to better educational activities, the unspoken words were about returning to glory days of some of Columbus’ sports teams. Few actions resulted from the recommendations other than more study was needed. Beyond the now common place issue of school consolidation , the East students continued to earn distinction for academic activities such as weathering a rainy homecoming game to applauding exceptional plays and musicals. Along with this, those in the East community made discoveries about growing up and simply getting along. All these decisions about studies and interests were often times tough. Fortunately, East offered the best choice for making a step in the right direction. Columbus, Indiana logo Opening I up to here in construction Paul Smilh 0. ith the coming of August, few students anticipated the opening of school. Seemingly, there would be no way the building would be ready on time. Undergoing the third and final stage of the asbestos-abatement program, the building's interior lay in shambles. Rumors died when the date arrived, and it became clear school would open. The new look of East turned off a few students. The cement commons was covered with a thick layer of dark brown paint and the once-carpeted locker level now gleamed with white linoleum. The resource floor also got a make-over, but mainly due to complete disorder. Students hurried to their classes while dodging workmen, ladders, and Do Not Enter banners. Columbus Fast High School. The “great white hope of Columbus has been cited not only for its architec- turally modern structure, but also for its modern teaching methods. Team teaching, large and small groups, and courses in Cinese and Russian arc all a part of the unique features of East. The excelled school system definitely stood out as a rea- son East was the right choice. John Rhoades 2 Opening Dominic Oliver� Angie Gorbett Matt fiichcn Presorting tradition.

Seniors Robin Mcndell. and Eric Wilcox along with Sophomore Dan Valentine have led the band to many victories. New freshmen added to the talent and sound of the band. Group discussion. Small group discus- sions gave students the chance to share input with each other in an effort to find solutions to many various questions. Seniors Craig Hartman. Kevin Bergener. William Taylor, and David Phegley help each other solve problems in advanced chemistry. These discussions also helped students learn to think on their own without the aid of a teacher. Opening 3 at '” in the midst of change O lowly the signs of construction disappeared and once again order was restored. Dominic Olivcrio The stage was set for a year that could be as good or bad as the student body cared to make it. All started quietly, but along came surprises. Rain poured on homecoming as people ran to talk to friends who had umbrellas. And the parking lot gained some order due to marked off spaces. The big surprise came in late October when 43 students were involved in a drug bust. TV cameras swarmed the school, and even Bob and Tom from Q95 con- tributed with the naming of the school Columbia East. But so few students were involved in the actual drug bust, that to the remainder of the students the event was an adventure. Exciting culture. Many educational activities take place outside of the classroom. The foreign language de- partment hosted the annual Ethnic Expo. The Expo gave students a chance to showcase their talents, through skits which involved foreign languages, in an out of school educa- tional activity. Junior Erin Finn participated in a skit as a guide on a tour bus. The skit was a success and added to the excitement of the entire program. 4 Opening Dominic Olivcno Orange spirit. The guy cheerleaders added enthusi- asm and outrageous spirit to the basketball season. Seniors Jay Lemmon. Rob Barker, Chris Clancy. Jay Dobbs, and Rob Hufty assisted the six female cheerleaders in yells and mounts. The guys attend- ed practice and were subject to the same rules as the girls. Working out. Senior Tim Begley enjoys the challenge of push-ups in his after school work- out session. Students spent many hours after 3:23 in the weight room for personal satisfaction, tone- up. or pre-season preparation. Modern equipment enabled students to get the best workout possible. Anjjie Gorbett types of feelings 6 Opening Angie Gorbctt ven the drug bust died down in time and personal matters gained student's attention The year had flown by and Spring Break loomed ahead. The events of 86-87 seemed to end before they had begun. New courses such as Chinese and Russian were added to the curriculum and the Olympians proved themselves to North with the slogan Dog O-BEAT- iance School as the theme for the East North basketball game. Special memories were sprinkled through the year. Memories such as when... a group of Senior guys came to school for Halloween dressed as a six pack, Junior Tony Campbell's green Volkswagon blew up, and when vandals attempted to write CNHS on the side of the building and misspelled it. All these events transformed the year 1987 into a memorable one. Free lime. Senior Kendrick Largcnt spent his lunch mod catching up on homework while Senior Kim Jack- son kept him company. The com- mons provided students with a place to study and socialize. During class mods the commons served as a place to study and relax with reading ma- terial from the library. The coke machines that set to the right of the commons were a freedom few other schools enjoyed. Dominic Olivcrio Grctchcn Smith Precision instruction. The choral department entertained in numerous presentations along with performing the national anthem for the basketball games. Director Mary Clark pre- pares the concert choir for their musical “The Messiah . Study time, f inding the Advanced Algebra assignment easy. Sophomore Tom Holdcman works quickly. Resource mods give students a chance to do homework and talk with teachers if they do not understand an assignment. Required learning packets were also done on the resource floor. Opening 7 events, classes, and people jf iving up to the idea of a perfect year wasn't an easy task, but 1987 did its best. Students also did their best to make the year fabulous. The goal of many seemed to be get crazy and have fun! Sneaking into the drive-in in the trunk of someone's car, leaving 8th and 9th mod, and swarming to colleges on the weekend showed ways students attempted to enjoy life in the fast-lane. Who knows when the farthest end of the parking lot became known as the Jennings County lot ? Or if the school really won't let someone graduate if they have overdue books from the library? All these memories will remain a part of East and its graduates. Catching up. Students found each year more difficult and accompa- nied with more homework. Students used their lunch mods and free mods to complete this homework in the Commons or cafeteria. The Com- mons provided a cozy place for Ju- nior Megan Dill to finish her home- work.

Students used their lunch break to get away from the routine of classes and share the latest news with friends. Opening 9 fcX ON TOP Spiril t events receive mix reviews C range and brown blazed from the bleachers while the crowd shouted along with the bas- ketball cheerleaders. Excitement rose as the players burst through the banner on the court. Rising with the screams, the crowd tried to cheer louder than the opposi- tion. We’ve got spirit! Yes, we do! We've got spirit, how 'bout you?”, thundered throughout the gym. Basketball season, when “Hoosier Hysteria' flew to its height, gave many opportunities for spirited fans to vent their pas- sions. Things such as bumper stickers, choir concerts, academic letters and class rings also proved to be spirit boosting. Mother Nature, unfortunately, was not overly cooperative on Homecoming night. The rain did calm down before the football game began, which ended in a 20-7 victory for the Olympians. Home- coming was more than the football game. It also included the crown- ing of the King and Queen, (Rob Hufty and Tracy Maurer) a pool party, Powderpuff football (the chance to see girls play football and guys dressed up in their inter- pretation of a cheerleader) and a car show. Participation tended to be lower than expected at the various Home- coming activities. Student Council advisor, Ann Hoffman said, “Al- though there was not an over- whelming attendance, it was not a total disaster. If just a few people came, then to me. it was worth all the effort.” Halloween provided yet another time for those full of spirit to let loose and go to class dressed as Tina Turner, a hippie, or even a beer can. Tami Lykins, junior, braved the crowds as an Oreo cookie. Sport teams held a different type of enthusiasm. The football play- ers turned a few heads when they began coming to school with crew cuts, mohawks and their team numbers stenciled to their hair. The players agreed to the haircuts if they succeeded in winning three games. One of the ways in which soccer players supported spirit was the senior gift to the team. The gift, an orange and brown toilet, repre- sented the team mascot. Choir, band and drama produc- tions could definitely not be left out of the list. All three groups rep- resented the school in their many performances throughout the year. “Singing the national anthem and especially the half time show by the choir department, got the crowd going and cheered up for the rest of the game,” Brian Lane, junior, said. Even in academics, consider- able spirit was displayed. Aca- demic letters were given to several students for maintaining an A-Av- erage during four consecutive semesters. The SAT's provided an outlet for pride in our school when East students scored higher than North on the state averages. by Rebecca Schuyler Angie Gorbctl The jazz band played favorite songs such as the Stray Cat Strut which added a little excitement and flavor to basketball games.

The game ended in a victory for the seniors. Meeting friends at football games to socialize and cheer on the team oc- cupied many Friday nights for stu- dents during the fall season. Casey Cordry. junior and Lori Nolting, senior, enjoy each others company. F.nthusiasm reached its height in the middle of the North-F.ast football game. Together varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders supported the Olympians to a 33-8 victory. Matt Jcnkm Spirit Student Life II ON TOP Styles, interests shape personalities C! parking up that ‘individual juice at a school as unique as East was easy for some, but others found it difficult when re- alizing they were just one in a crowd of 1,600. In order to stand out, students sought ways to ‘break into character . Students exhibited originality through such things as hair- styles, clothing, out of the ordi- nary collections, ways of think- ing, and even the style in which they choose to decorate a bed- room or locker. Known for her creative outfits and spiked hair, Mina Cook, sophomore, believed being her own person to be a prime objec- tive. “The more people encour- aged me to conform, the more determined I become in my ideas and beliefs. I refuse to be anyone but myself, Cook said. Others chose a less daring style of dress but added a person- al flair, whether it was antique clothing or Levi's and a T-shirt. “I try to wear different kinds of shoes and fix my hair differently than others, Chris Fleetwood, senior, said. Not everyone ran for the newest fad. “When a new fad comes out, I never feel as if I have to go out and get it so I am not left behind, Kathy Eddy, junior, said. Not as obvious as clothing, but still an outlet for self-expression, bedrooms and lockers were mu- seums for pictures of favorite rock groups, momentos of times spent with friends, and various other knick knacks. Others found diversion in be- ing collectors ranging from re- cord albums to key chains. Amy Holmes, sophomore, had a col- lection of antique hats of which she hoped to soon have two from every decade. Jim Frakes, ju- nior, admitted to being a pack- rat. “I have a filing cabinet where I keep momentos of most everything I have been involved in, Frakes said. Being alone to reflect on prob- lems and daydreams or just to become that true individual was important to many students. Melanie Kcrkhof, junior, found walking in the woods near her home to be helpful in working out her problems. Holmes ‘mel- lowed out' while listening to her “Doors tape in her room. by Rebecca Schuyler Nkohl Birdwcll V-V Robin Hendrickson, junior, found art class a good place to express her- self.

Understanding is the key to secureness. If people could live without analyzing one another all the time, the world would be a much more peaceful place to exist in. — Mina Cook, Sophomore Vicohl Bird well 13 Perfect 10 body takes desire, fitness Jenny found herself sinking into the depths of the ‘fit- ness movement'. Meeting her boyfriend Rex in the hall, she is given an abrupt “hello”, as he hurried toward the gym to lift weights (hoping to change his 5’4” 100 pound body into some- thing resembling Hulk Hogan). Once at home, Jenny heard the pounding of feet only to find her mother acrobicizing to the en- couragement of Jane Fonda. Jenny couldn't even open her “Seventeen” magazine without finding some sort of diet plan. Desire for the perfect “10” body seemed to be in the minds of many students, but putting that desire to work was another story. Some students worked to- ward the body they hoped to have by involving themselves in sports, aerobics or morning jogs. Mental fitness and eating right, also contributed to concerns. One senior, Rob Doll, worked out in the weight room at school. “I enjoy staying in shape and working at it to see myself grow stronger,” Doll said. Others pre- ferred using a sport as their means of fitness. Eating the right foods could be drastically important to the weight one wanted to keep. Many students, girls especially, felt pressured to maintain slim figures. Glenda Shurman, soph- omore, sometimes felt very self- conscious about herself when comparing herself to skinny friends. “I'm afraid that I might not fit into my cheerleading uni- form for the next game.” Schur- man said. Without being mentally fit. having a top form body would not have been as meaningful. Stress could easily pile up and verge on explosion unless one knew how to handle it. Alison Peck, junior said, “I keep things from getting me down by going to drama club. It's fun and pro- vides a break from homework and worries.” Increasing health awareness seemed to grow out of the lack of fitness in teenagers. Studies showed that U.S. teens were less fit than 20 years ago. Only a few- students passed the fitness test given in P.E. class. “Youth just were not taking advantage of all the fitness opportunities around them,” said Dennis Sylvester, athletic director. by Rebecca Schuyler Reaching for ihe rebound Sopho- mores Aaron Jones-Bey.

As long as I keep playing football, I won't get fat. -- Scott Seavers, Senior Burning off those lunchtime calo- rics, a group of students play tackle football on the school yard. Playing football also provided a chance to forget about the pressure of classes and to relax. Grctchcn Smuh Fitness Siudent Life 15 Gretchen Smith Nkohl Bitd� cll Vicohl Birdwcll Opinions varied on how cafeteria food tasted, but many students found it to be their only choice if a car was not available for zipping to McDonald’s. Juniors Cori Davis, Sonya Ledbetter. Kim Howard, and Brett Denney filled their mid-day hunger in the cafe- teria. Endurance is the prime objective of Seniors Greg Dugan and Rob Doll. Along with others, they had the chance to work out in the weight room during advanced P.E. The YMCA was a favonte spot for students to put in some work out time. Kelly Amholt. senior, works out on the cxercyclc. Hallway out of iheir seats, students sat impatiently wailing for the clock hands to hit 3:23 and to signify freedom. At the tone, the halls transformed into a jumbled mass of running, yelling, and shoving students. All hurried out the doors for the weekend. Plans for the weekend ranged from basketball games with a stop afterwards for pizza at No- bles to the ever popular VCR party. Some ran home looking forward to loafing around while others had jobs. Although plans varied, everyone eagerly antici- pated free time and a break from the tedious 8:07 to 3:23 school day. The search for something new to do often led students to the Greenwood shopping mall or to the newly remodeled Union Sta- tion to sample some of its exotic foods and to explore interesting shops. For snow lovers, the Nashville slopes gave students a chance to test their skiing skills. Staying in town to go to friends' parties or to catch up on some homework also filled free time. Jobs created extra spending money that was sometimes used for upcoming dates or those much desired concert tickets. Senior Alatha Petro, employed at Noble Romans said, “I work because I enjoy spending money on clothes and concerts. Unfor- tunately, money doesn’t grow on trees. Bon Jovi, Genesis, Cinderella, and Billy Joel tickets caused quite a few line-ups at the local ticketmastcr. Tom Pickett's mu- sic store was the place of some camp-outs, to try for a chance at front row seats. Weekends did not always in- volve constant activity. Many students found lazy Sundays the perfect time to just lounge around in a bathrobe or to sleep. Outside of class a variety of activities such as basketball practice, jobs, term paper re- search at the library, babysitting for younger siblings, and finish- ing up homework so one could watch ‘Moonlighting’ all fit into a school week. by Jennifer Hunter At the buzzer, run, yell for freedom FEELir MHV||MI After school I go to my tap dance lessons.

Freshman Danny Klinger. Seniors Becky Schylcr and David Williams. Freshman Melanie Younger, Senior Kathleen Kyle, and Stephen Conway Sophomore auditioned for the March perfor- mance of “Exit the Body”. Homework plays an important part in the after school life of a student. Wanda Flaherty, junior, docs her homework while listening to her fa- vorite music. Exploding with spirit Richie Brown, junior, cheers on the varsity basket- ball team at the East North game. Disappointed students left the game after East lost by a mere 10 points, 71-61. After school most students like their freedom to do as they please but for Brian Purdue,senior, his free time is spent on the job at McDonald’s. Driving, dating, and going out to lunch are just a few of the things that burn spending money and allowances. Tony Weber, senior, supplements his income by deliver- ing pizzas for Dial-A-Pizza. After school Student Life 17 You said it . . . FEELING ALL Editors note: From athletics to clubs to academics. e� er student had reasons for deeming East as the right choice. For this reason, we chose 17 different people, from different areas of the school, all with special interests and talents, and asked them what made our school special to them. Row I — Jennifer Burbrink. junior; Seniors Matt Gillespie. Sarah DcV'ore. and Eric Wilcox; James Shipp, junior and Matt Eichen, senior. Row 2 — Sophomores Stephanie Wolfe and Dusty Medaris; Nor- ma Kim, junior; Amv Keller, sophomore; Seniors Greg Yenhaus and Carmen Grinstead; and Susan Holland, junior. Row 3 — Juniors Erik Branstad and Ted Sabinas; and Seniors Debbie Partlow and Nikki Coy olumbus East High School. That docs not sound so special. What is to be found within the walls of that school, however is highly unique. Here, we have a chance for something different. Each student has some unscheduled time to spend as he sees fit. This is a great opportunity for a student to learn responsibility and how to budget time. Both qualities will be useful for college. The course offerings display much diversity. A student can take such basics as biology and algebra, all the way up to accelerated courses such as Advanced Chemistry and Calculus. Many teachers of these courses at East are highly educated and have been recognized for their individual achievements at local, state, and national levels. Columbus East is the place to be for a good education. It is only too bad that many people cannot look beyond the costly construction and see the wonderful and unique things inside. by Debbie Partlow — ven though I’ve never been anywhere else, I do feel that East is a unique school. I think East works because of the individuals here-not only the teachers, counselors, etc., but also the students. East has a comfortable atmosphere, and we learn how to use our time and take on responsibilities- rather than be spoon fed. I think this will help us to be more prepared academically and socially after leaving East in pursuing future goals. by Norma Kim 18 Student Life(Views H undreds of East students have made T the right choice.

I know this sounds like a commercial for a college, but I'm not just writing this because I can't think of anything else. That might have been the case last year. However, I had an experience that changed my attitude. The second quarter, I had some trouble with my grades as most people do their junior year. Unfortunately, 1 couldn't convince my mother that this was a normal occurance. So she set up an appointment for us to talk with my counselor, who let me do the talking. She wanted to know what I thought should be done to change the situation. She even got me out of math to talk to me alone before my mother came so that I would not feel my life was being discussed out for me as if I were a child. My teachers were also very helpful. They became more open and friendly, and gave me the extra attention I j needed to improve my grades.

We have the freedom to move about the resource floor to get help with school work. We can often get help from a teacher on an assignment, which results in having a better understanding of the material and getting better grades. The free time also allows us more time for homework so that we will have more time in the evenings with our families. by Dusty Medaris Views Student Life 19 FEELING ALL W We've Got Tonight, Pan-mania set prom themes F eelings of anticipation ruled as juniors an seniors awaited East North's We’ve Got Tonight Prom, on Friday May 15 at the Commons. Preparation began weeks before the event, as students crowded tanning beds and bridal shops, made reservations and made sure shoes and flowers were just the right color. On the day of the Prom the phone lines of the attendance office were kept busy as students called in with excuses for not attending school, just so they might have one last chance to get some sun or to run errands. For most students all the fuss and anxiety of finding a date became worthwhile when they saw themselves in that elegant gown or tux. Most students began the evening taking pictures at home, but after Mom and Dad got their Fill of picture taking, couples were off to a fancy restaurant such as Weinantz, The Eagles Nest or Jeremiah Sweeney’s. I ate at the Brown Count Inn. I liked the atmosphere anc the food, but I had the worst time getting out of the car or my seat at dinner because of the hoops on my dress, Tracy Salinas, junior said. After dinner Prom-goers passed groups of gawking relatives and friends who stood along the entry way in order to see the parade of formals. Those who had a taste for a more flamboyant enterance, pulled up in a limo or carriage. After standing in line for professional pictures, students danced to the music of the Fritz Turner Band The jazz classical type band received both good and bad reviews.Janae Franke,senior said she was a little bored by the band and wished a more rockin’, modem type band had been picked. Jason Peters, junior had an opposing opionion. I enjoyed the band because it is the type of music that people dressed up in formals can dance to. Peters said. Towards the end of the evening. King and Queen candidates lined up to hear the annoucement of the winner. Seniors Scott Seavers and Amy Puckett were the lucky recepients of the crown and flowers. Parents and community members chose the theme Panamania for the After-Prom to publicize the upcoming Pan-Am games. Held at the Foundation for Youth the After-Prom was packed with energetic students and parents running game booths. Students were able to play the games for coupons which were redeemable at the prize counter.Intermission from game playing could be found on the dance floor with the Indy band, Randy Rocket and the Blast . The constant activity of Prom night began to die down around 6 a.m. for most students.

Prom Siudent Life 21 THE MOVES ‘Prime of Jean Brodie’ flows naturally for cast Slowly and painfully nearing the door, she suddenly unleashed a terrible cry filling the room with uncontrollable anger and remorse, ASSAS-AIIIIINNN! With her last line successfully executed. Junior Alison Peck, who portrayed Miss Jean Brodie, left the stage. The final confrontation between Brodie and her student Sandy, played by Sophomore Amy Holmes, displayed the polished perfection of rehearsed lines. However, both Peck and Holmes instantly broke into tears offstage. The crying was not part of the script; their tears were for real. Totally absorbed in the role of their characters in the production, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie , the two were emotionally exhausted as were the rest of the cast. Set in the 1930’s, the powerful drama depicted the great influence a teacher of a private girls' school in her prime wielded over her most select students. After being subject to her absolute command for numerous years, the girls eventually realized Brodie's influence on them, and Sandy finally betrayed her, an action she should have taken much earlier. The play which opened in late October, contained all the essential elements of drama- envy, desire, and revenge, which constituted a captivating plot but the factor which made the production stand out from others remained the cast's attachment and enthusiasm with their roles. Surprisingly enough, we had no problems working together, said Stephen Conway, sophomore, who played the part of Mr. Perry. I think that without the sense of closeness, the play would not have been as great a success. The leading female characters all went shopping to personally select their costumes. We saw our characters in the clothes, and we would say, 'She would wear this!’ We went shopping from our character’s standpoint, Holmes explained. The cast also learned their lines and assumed their roles so easily that no one dreaded rehearsals. Working with Amy made it a challenging experience because both of us had enough experience to get beyond mechanics like blocking, gesturing, and learning lines. We really worked on trying to feel what the characters were feeling, and I think we succeeded, Peck said. Director Ray LeBlanc also noticed the extraordinary smoothness the production possessed. One of the goals of every production is to create an ensemble company...the ability to work together instinctively...to know what the other actor will do without direction or discussion. This cast was magnificent in its ability to achieve this goal. Assuming the identity of their roles so closely and putting their energy into the hard work of rehearsing, the cast flourished in their own prime. They successfully transformed the characters from the pages of a script into living, breathing and amazingly believable people onstage. by Mary Ilou Meeting in the art museum.

Full of color and action, Aesops Falables , a children’s musical, proved to be just the thing for entertaining elementary school students. A spinoff on old Aesop stories, the musical included several well known fable characters with slightly different twists. The Tortoise and the Hare incorporated tricycles and rollerskates into their race while the big, bad wolf spent his time picketing to 'stop unfair treatment to the lonely wolf. The cast of sixteen students performed for two well-attended matinees, with autographs afterwards. They also toured to four local elementary schools during the school day. We were treated like movie stars, said Tracy McCreary, sophomore, who played the part of Amelia Eagle. Some of the kids would come up to me and say, Tm going to do that when I grow up' or others would just say 'I love you'. Interaction between the cast and audience was crucial to the success of the musical. To bring the audience closer to the action, Nancy Kessler, director, decided to place the children right on stage. I saw great interaction. It was so much fun watching the cast relate to the kids and in essence they became children again, Kessler said Most of the cast members would agree their strongest memory to be that of laughter and applause. The children feel free to respond more openly than an audience of adults, said Cori Davis, who played the part of Jack-in-the-Box. They are not afraid to react aloud, boo or applaud, at something funny.

Senior David Williams, who plays the part of Ralph Austin, added to the problem. Working with a small cast required more concentration because their were not as many characters to play off of. The smaller cast provided for more intense relationships between the characters, Holmes said. Getting into character was a fairly easy process for Estes. Estes and her character, Jill, proved to have much in common. She ate constantly, was very outgoing, young and could not wait to get out on her own. That's very like me, said Estes. Holmes character, on the other hand, required a little more research into how the character would act. A most difficult part of the play for me was relating to the ties a mother feels for her child, said Holmes. by Kinsey Katchka Although the cast of Butterflies Are Free performed for small audiences, the people who did attend enjoyed the clever dialogue and a humorous portrayal of everyday life. Funny, light and uplifting this play added variety to the other plays this season, said Ray LeBlanc, director. Butterflies Are Free , a comedy set in present-day Greenwich Village, depicted the events taking place in the life of Don Baker, Senior Daren Mitchner. In the process of growing up, Don faced obstacles presented by blindness and an over protective mother, portrayed by Sophomore Amy Holmes.

Then, in the middle of the night, ten people all somehow indirectly involved with one another sneak around with flashlights, desperately trying to find lost diamonds. Sound like a Sunday night episode of Murder, She Wrote? Actually, the drama production of Exit the Body is a comedy in which the characters are not really who they claim to be. The cast consisted of Juniors Kinsey Katchka, Jim Frakes, Stacy Whipker; Sophomores Tracy McCreary, Stephen Conway, Libby Webster; and Freshmen Stephanie Sharp, Eric Bippen, Sam Harvey, and Eric Moore. Performed in March, the comedy successfully drew laughs from those who attended. For example, the ditzy maid turned out to be a sly undercover agent, and four people claimed to be the same person. These misconceptions along with a sarcastic secretary and an author of murder mysteries combine to produce extremely humorous situations and a complicated plot. Unknown to the audiences, however, a considerable amount of comedy took place back stage and during rehearsals. For example, Katchka who portrayed the role of Crane, once skipped five pages of the script during a dress rehearsal. To make matters worse, reporters from The Republic were in the audience to write an article on the comedy that night. I didn't realize what I had done until I got off stage. Fortunately, the rest of the cast caught on quickly and went on as if nothing had happened, said Katchka. Another example of humor during rehearsals involved the lighting crew and the cast. The light switches on the set were operated by the crew, and the actors pretended to turn them on. Sometimes during practice a cast member would accidently turn on the wrong light, only to see the right one mysteriously turn on across the room. Comical rehearsals were not the only thing that made the play fun to produce, but also the humorous personalities of the actors themselves. When Bippen, who was the real Mr. Hammond, was asked why the production was unique from others he had been in, he curtly responded, I Speakink byMaryHou Arguing with a nosey telephone op- erator is only one of many problems novelist Kinsey Katchka. junior, had to deal with during a weekend at her New England retreat.

Across the hall jazz band members tuned their instruments. All their practice would be made worthwhile when the curtain opened and they would entertain the audience with the music, singing and dancing of Broadway. More than 130 participants worked together to stage the musical tribute, Broadway Follies'The production consisted of pieces from such musicals as Chorus Line. South Pacific and Hello Dolly, performed by students as well as a quintet of faculty men. These selections were grouped into three themes: people, love and places. Many students had the all to themselves in a solo or shared a song in a duet or trio. Molly Sullivan, senior, who did a solo from the musical Cats, said, Everthing suddenly came together when I got out on stage. My nerves turned into energy and I think the audience saw my confidence. It was a great feeling. A beneficial part of the production was that it finally brought the three separate groups of the Performing Arts Department, dance, band and choir, together to become one large group working together. Choir member Junior Leslie Tindell said, This was one of the most exciting productions I’ve been involved in.

Nancy and John Kessler took on the role of directors for the production, which brought in over a 1,000 dollars for the East Student Leadership Council fund.

Hearing the crowd scream as we came on and being in front of all those people was great!, Bryon Bradley, junior said, who lip-synched to songs from Poison and Europe. For some students the show felt almost like a real rock concert, or at least the screaming friends of those performing made it seem that way.

Teens willing to risk rejection Sweaty palms, a loss of the voice, and wimpy knees often plague those seeking dates. While many teens do go out on dates, others try desperately to overcome their pride and ask that special person out. Fears of rejection or humiliation can keep guys and girls alike from taking this plunge. The threat of losing someone as a friend can haunt both sexes when asking for a date. Although the relationship might grow stronger, it could also come to a disastrous halt I was afraid to ask someone on a date because we were really close friends, Daphne Bibie, sophomore, said. Some teens avoid asking for a date because of the reactions they might get in return. In many cases, the teen loses his nerve altogether and spends another night at home. I was scared to ask this guy out because I thought he'd laugh in my face. I could just see him telling all of his friends about it, freshman Keri Banes said. Emotions during the dating ritual range from extreme nervousness to confidence. One student compared his feelings to eating in the school cafeteria, while Shawn Barr, sophomore, said she felt like she had a cotton ball in her mouth. Despite underlying doubts, some students find it easier to take a chance and find out the other person's feelings without worrying about the consequences. To get anywhere in life you have to be aggressive enough to know what you want and go out and get it, Krista Miller, senior, said. Great benefits can also come from sacrificing pride. I was really glad I asked a girl out on a date because I didn't end up having to take my sister to the prom, junior Terry Holdemess said. Another student said, The kiss at the end makes it all worth it. by Jeni Bell The Sadie Hawkins Dance provided time for romantic moments, such as this one shared by Denise Sandhage. sophomore, and Matt Jenkins, senior. Variety, novelty highlight fashion season Styles of 1987 shouted sleek and sophisticated to casual and comfortable . Girls and guys alike found the wide variety of fashions appealing. To no one's surprise, denim once again showed up everywhere. However, denims of new hues dominated. Bright, bold colors and pastels showed up on miniskirts along with jackets and more. Sophomore Teri Burbrink said, I liked the new color schemes because they added variety and were more creative. Suspenders were also a cinch to support anyone's wardrobe. Footwear ranged from fancy to fine as metallic shoes turned many heads. Brilliant silver, copper, and gold tones showed up not only on shoes but purses, shirts, and accessories to match. Moccasins, loafers, and high tops were also favored by many for their style and comfort. They were everywhere; the classical, sleek looks versus the trendy, stereo- typical looks of today. Although fashions were mostly influenced by national figures and personalities, students tried to make their own fashion statements. The fads and fashions came and went but personal style never faded. Freshman Elisabeth Whittington said, Individuality makes fashion interesting. Freshman David Britt agreed, You have to be different to make a statement. by Susan Brackney 30 Right Connections 1.

Spotlight on new shows Watching television, once labeled America’s favorite pastime, still attracted millions of viewers. Some viewers, however, became restless and unimpressed by even the most popular television programs of 1987. Programs were packed with more suspense, more romance, more sex, and more violence. However, most viewers prefered comedies which dominated TV ratings. The following programs, many situation comedies, were in the top teen ratings of '87. •Cosby Show A favorite in the ratings, millions enjoyed the Huxtable family's daily trials and tribulations. •Saturday Night Live ’’Church Chat became the rage of teachers and teens alike who waited up until all hours of the night to catch a glimpse of the Churchlady.

Listener’s guide to hot sounds In the 50’s, they sang of girls, dancing, and cruising. In the 60's, they protested war and social injustice. In the 70’s, they sang of peace, brotherhood, and getting high. Now, the 80’s have arrived and with the new decade came a new wave of music. With the new styles of music have come new terms to describe it. Here are just a few: Rap - a form of personal expression characterized by a lack of melody, strong back beat, and rare instances of comprehendability. Heavy Metal - music named for the unique feeling of having your head beat between two heavy pieces of metal that you experience while listening. Hard Rock- similar to above, named for feeling of hard rocks falling on and around you that is experienced while enjoying the medium. Punk - if the hair is in an apparent state of multicolor disarray, the clothes are leather, metal, and extremely gaudy, and the lyrics scream of suicide, sex, and violence, then it qualifies as punk. Country and Western - music that speaks of cheap bars, playing cards, and heartbroken cowboys. Characterized by an irritating twang sound. Acid Rock - about the loudest, most painful form of noise that can still be considered music. Probably named for the feeling that it slowly eats into and disintegrates your brain. by Tod Smith Basketball -Bob’s way As Hoosier Hysteria reached its peak during the NCAA Championships, I.U. fans had the chance to laugh while reading A Season on the Brink, by John Feinstein.

Popular box-office hits ranged from comedies to adventures to another Nightmare on Elm Street sequel. Action-packed films continued to attract the young and old alike, keeping them glued to their seats. Movies like Karate Kid , Crocodile Dundee, and Top Gun held top movie ratings for weeks at a time as viewers came to see them as many as four times. However, Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise, had an added attraction for females. Tom Cruise has a body that just won't quit, freshman Julie Hoffman said. Comedies kept producers laughing all the way to the bank as teens flocked to see such movies as Ferris Bueller's Day Off (starring Matthew Broderick) and Back to School. Rodney Dangerfield did gain a little respect as Back to School soared to the top, while Ferris Bueller's Day Off gave new hope to students who wanted to escape from school. Ferris chalked up another hit for teen movie maker John Hughes, who also wrote and directed Some Kind of Wonderful. Finally, horror films once again dominated movie houses as Nightmare on Elm Street , Bedtime Stories, and Witchboard lit up the screens. Movies receiving Oscars included Platoon, starring Charlie Sheen, and Children of a Lesser God, featuring a deaf woman trying to make it in the world.

The officials aimed to alleviate problems within the Cancer Comer area of the school. We did not intend to go on a witch hunt, Prin. Phil Houston said. We want to rid the school of drugs as much as possible so that we may provide quality class time to achieve academic excellence throughout the school. Police used a surveillance vehicle to film activities within Cancer Comer for one week near the beginning of October as a result of repeated complaints of inappropriate behavior within the area, according to Houston. After the police completed their filming, officials reviewed the material and on Oct. 16 Houston made an announcement to the entire student body. As of that time, all loitering and smoking within 300 yards of school property was prohibited, under city ordinance and Public Law 218. The investigation continued until Nov. 11 when 42 East students and one North student were accused of dealing in or using drugs. Our problem with the whole situation was denial. The films gave us concrete evidence and all but one of the accused confessed, Houston said. Those found guilty of using drugs must undergo a substance abuse program after a one week suspension. The dealers were expelled for the year and will be allowed to return next year only if they complete the same rehabilitation program, according to Phil Wasmuth, director of the program. Feedback on the situation has been overwhelmingly positive. Our goal has been to gain confessions so that we can place students in the substance abuse rehabilitation program. Then, they will be able to have a clearer mind for learning and for living a meaningful life, Houston said. by Jeff Smith Crack hits streets Now America’s fastest-growing drug.

Reagan's involvement was questioned and many key officials testified and admitted to illegal activities. Dubbed Irangate by some, the event led to the dismissal of Oliver North, National Security Advisor, and Robert McFarlane, Chief of Staff. •JAMES BOND KIND OF STUFF - The U.S. Embassy in Moscow was of great concern to national security when it was found the Marine guards there allowed Soviet agents access to the embassy in exchange for sexual favors from Soviet women. At home, Reagan insisted that the new Soviet embassy in Washington, with a perfect hilltop view of the capital, wouldn't be occupied until the new U.S. Embassy in Moscow was secure. It was riddled with electronic snooping devices when built, all of which will probably never be found. •BROTHERS IN ARMS - The year showed a new thaw in U.S. - Soviet relations, with a new Soviet leader seemingly eager to negotiate an arms control deal. Gorbachev became more willing to accept Reagan's Star Wars defense program, in exchange for a reduction in European- based missiles. Many western European NATO allies felt that if the deal was made, they would be left vulnerable to conventional Soviet forces. •GORBACHEV'S GAMBLE - The Soviet Union’s willingness to negotiate nuclear arms reductions may have been due to new freedom and thinking under Gorbachev.

However, the changes were limited and met resistance from other party leaders.

I just came to see what a day in high school is like anymore, Linda Wendling, mother of Freshman Brad Wendling said. One of those changes was resource time. Most seemed to think the resource floor was a good idea because it gave sstudents the opportunity to manage their own time instead of someone else telling the students what to do every minute. All of this free time! It's incredible, but I can't see how my daughter can still bring home more than two hours' worth of homework, Valta Roberts, mother of Freshman Lynette Roberts said. During resource time, parents had the option of going to the Resource Center or to the Hospitality Area.

For these people, jumping out of bed as soon as the alarm clock hits 5:47 is no big deal. They seldom stick to one routine and life is hardly boring. Once the task is complete, there is the breakfast issue. Will it be the usual Captain Crunch, Frootloops, or nothing? An interesting breakfast for the world’s early riser may range from green jello to cold pizza. It's all a matter of taste. For some, no morning activity should be run of the mill. These people might stan off the day with a refreshing swim, a hike through the woods, or anything else that merely looks inviting. by Susan Brackney 38 Right Connections Right Connections 39 Bronzing Beauties Summer, to most students, means relaxation, sport, and fun in the sun. Sun bathing, a favorite summer practice, proves now to be a rapidly growing problem. With this time consuming ritual comes a new wave of shortcuts for those who want a sun-kissed look without the wait. Of these many resorts, tanning beds remain the most popular choice. They are open year round, flooded with customers who want to keep their bronzed skin tanned all year. Other resorts, some illegal, are tan accelerators and tanning pills which increase the production of melanin, pigment, in the skin. Both are unsafe methods of tanning the skin and usually leave the skin with a sick, orange look rather than a healthy glow. Some are, however, taking the advice given by most dermatologists and scientists to take precautions. Protective sunscreens and careful monitoring of sun exposure are just some of the steps now being taken to prevent skin cancer and wrinkles. by Susan Brackney Breaking loose for fun, partying at vacation time Students broke loose from the chains of stuffy classrooms and unbearable studyhalls during the last week of March for Spring Break '87. After weeks of counting the days until vacation, one thought held students together- fun. Florida continued to attract hordes of students searching for warm, sunny beaches and dark brown tans. Campus Life members went as a group to catch some sun, while others travelled with friends or parents. School books were tossed aside in place of swimsuits, tanning lotion, and surfboards. Choir members caught a piece of the Big Apple as they travelled as a group to New York. While touring the Big City, members saw musicals and famous sights such as Bloomingdales. For those who couldn't bake in the Florida sun, tanning beds proved the next best thing. Guys and girls alike booked up tanning salons as they longed for darker skin. Many who inhabited the beds later came back to school showing off their Florida tans. As for those who stayed at home for vacation, MTV’s Spring Break '87 held viewers' attentions as they took off for Florida with Justine Bateman and The Beastie Boys.

As the books closed, each student realized a new year would soon begin. Each year, from the questioning freshman to the confident senior, held its share of classroom memories. Suddenly, freshman found themselves whisked away into world history, study halls, and swimming in gym class. With a year of experience, sophomores felt more at home and grew accustomed to things such as simulation in drivers ed and journals in English. Homework, or the junior, year filled students with dread as they faced U.S. History, and term papers. Graduation, the SAT, and college acceptance took up seniors’ days, but they still found time to do wild and crazy things to celebrate the completion of twelve years of high school. Through the memories each student felt prepared to face a new college and make the best choice for his life. Good hygiene.

The major objective was to help a disabled reader learn basic reading skills needed in life. They also assisted the average and above average student to improve vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency in reading. The atmosphere of the Reading Center differed from that of the regular classroom. The Center, open to all students from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every day, had comfortable lounge chairs and a large supply of paper-backed books, as well as current newspapers and magazines. We try to give students a place with a pleasant atmosphere. It is a nice, comfortable library, Rachel Stoner, Reading Center teacher, said. During Freshman year, tests given to students determined whether or not they needed to spend a mod in the Reading Center. Anyone with a reading level below the eighth grade level spent one mod every other day in the Center. English teachers received a report of the student's progress at the end of the nine weeks. The reports included records of scores, projects, activity sheets, and all outside reading. There were 165 students assigned to the Reading Center during the year. They can graduate out of the Center when they raise their reading level one grade, Stoner said. The Reading Center developed a program to increase reading skills by peer tutoring. Reading Center students went to Fodrea Elementary School once a week to work with first and second graders individually on reading. The program, established fourteen years ago, began for freshmen who wanted to assist nine of the Fodrea teachers on an unscheduled mod, study hall, or a mod scheduled in the Reading Center. The program rewarded the tutors as well as the students. It helps the students feel better about themselves and it also helps improve their reading skills, Stoner said. The volunteers enjoyed assisting the teachers on their numerous jobs. One day students returned late because they enjoyed it so much they did not want to leave,” Sondra Peters, Reading Center aide, said. The students that volunteered were given credit for their work. The main goal, according to Stoner, for the year was to interest the students and to help them find enjoyment in reading. The future plans for the Reading Center involve getting more books and more computers with software. by Michelle Hudson We try to give students a place with a pleasant atmosphere.

The theme of the class was the understanding, evaluation, and appreciation of the story of mankind’s development The class was designed to teach English and history at the same time and at a faster pace than regular courses. 'The class is an extension from grade school. Before, students entered high school and did not have the opportunity to continue in a class such as Humanities, Rebecca Rehbein, history teacher, said. The freshmen who took the course received four credits since the class met for two mods. Two credits were for English and two were for history, I think it is a lot easier to leam with both English and history combined, Brent Pelley, freshman, said. The class had activities and guest speakers designed so the students would leam about all the universal, meaning all diverse things. We want students to realize that every class taken in school ties together,” Robin Whited, English teacher, said. During the year, the class took various class-related field trips. On one trip the class visited the only Islamic center in the Western Hemisphere, which is located in Plainfield, Indiana. At the center, the class learned about the Greek Orthodox and Hebrew congregations. Another trip was taken over the holidays. It was an optional trip to the Indiana University Madrigal Program. Guest speakers were frequent in the class. A major benefit of the class is that we meet in large groups. This enables us to have speakers. The regular world history and English classes do not meet in large groups, Rehbein said. Various teachers also spoke to the class. Phil Miller spoke on architecture, Carole Goshom spoke about science and the human condition and Jim Haro spoke on Latin. Jerry Baker spoke about the Germanic language and Nate VonFange played the organ. Students who took the Humanities class felt it was very beneficial and interesting. I think the class is more interesting than regular English and history classes because we go on field trips, Jenny Marshall, freshman, said. Overall, the Humanities class developed basic English and history skills as well as enhancing them. by Marcie Moon M ath s cience B • Dianne Sweany replaced Wendy Bowmar who returned to college to complete her Master's Degree. • Jackie Van Liew replaced Tori Shiras who also left second semester. • Calculus, Analytic Geometry, and Probability Statistics were all courses available to students which are not available at many other high schools. usiness • Human Genetics was a new class offered second semester, taught by Frank Hughes. • Jack Young was given the Purdue Pharmacy award for preparing chemistry students for Pharmacy. • Carole Goshorn was selected to be a member of the Sciences Advisory Committee of the College Board. • Entrepreneurship was a new class offered. • Three state-of-the-art computer labs were utilized to provide a project-oriented approach to solving business application problems. • Courses provided an excellent foundation for students who wished to pursue careers in business at the college level. 44 Acadeniics Social Studies.

Arts keeps pace with hi-tech industry With new updated equipment, such as an electronical robot, milling machine, and drafting machine, the Industrial Arts Department hopes to develop a high- technology lab. Machinery has one advantage; they don’t complain of being tired, they don’t get sick, and they give the same efficient output whether it is Monday or Friday, Harry Land, Electronics and Fabrication teacher, said. According to Land, automated equipment is taking an important role in industry. The Basic Electronics, Electronics, and Advanced Electronics learned to program an electronic robot. Land, said, When most people hear the word robot, they think of a talking, walking, and crawling Star Wars type robot. The Rhino robot does not fit the Star Wars type description. In reality, industrial robots are mostly stationary or move in an assembly line. The robot is operated by a teach pendent or micro processor. The students will be learning to use the robot in a constructive manner, based upon its own language. The students learned how robots work, how they're used, and how they can be used in the most efficient way. Once the movements are recorded, the robot will be able to perform the same repetitive movements. The robot serves as a transporter that grips, moves, positions, inserts, welds, or carries an object. Senior Luke Eisenbraun, who has been one of the few students to experiment with the robot, said, Industry is becoming fast moving and efficient, so the robot makes it much easier for something to be precisely mass produced. The Machines Tools class will be working with an old milling machine that has been updated. This machine is called a C.N.C (Computer Numerical Control) and its purpose is to make parts. Harold Welsh, Drafting, Materials, and Machine Tools teacher, said, It is an old machine, but we have added new ball screws so that it will move accurately and we have also put step motors on the x, y, and z axis so that we will be able to tell the computer which way to turn and by how much.” The Industrial Arts Department has also purchased two C.ADVC.A.M.’s (Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Machines). The C.A.D. enables students to make industrial drawings on a computer monitor. Then the information can be transferred to a computer plotter or disc which actually does the drawing. The same information can be programmed to a C.A.M., then the machine will cut and make the part as originally drawn. Harold Wishon, Industrial Arts Department Chairman, Architecture and Drafting teacher, said, 1 hope the students will have exposure to the C.A.D. C.A.M. by the end of next semester or the end of the year. In time, Wishon hopes to make all of the new equipment work together. He said, In the future, we hope to have a high-technology type course for advanced students so they can use all of the equipment together. by Heather Sparkman Industry is becoming fast moving and efficient, so the robot makes it much easier for something to be precisely mass produced.

The dance class, which met on Thursday evenings for two hours, was taught by Donna VanKlompenburg. Donna is a good teacher because she's always enthusiastic about what she does. She really cares and works to help us become better dancers, Senior Becky Schuyler, said. The dancers performed twice during the year. The first performance was in Broadway Follies which featured all aspects of the performing arts. The dancers joined choir and band members in many acts including We Need A Little Christmas. Walk Him Up the Stairs, 1 Hope I Get h. and If They Could See Me Now. The dancers' second performance was at the annual Variety Show, to a song from the Art of Noise. The Variety Show was fun because it finally gave us a chance to perform for other students, Senior Krista Miller, said. In order to receive an A in the class, each dancer was required to spend three unscheduled mods exercising and practicing dance routines. It was worth it, but I was pressed for time. I had to do my practice mods after school, Junior Tammie Estes, said. The dance class broadened the areas which the curriculum covered the performing arts. In addition to dance class, a stage make-up class was offered for credit. by Kim Sawyer I nstrumental c hoir D • The department offered classes in Orchestra, Symphonic, Concert, jazz, and marching band. • Career centered classes such as guitar lab and music theory were offered. • Performance, technique, and individual improvement were emphasized. • Small group choirs provided many performances in the community which served as public relations for the school. • Students received instruction as individuals in small groups, and as performers in large choral ensembles. • Tunes and Balloons was a singing telegram service provided by the choral department. rama • Dance and Stage Make-up were two new classes offered this year. Both were one semester classes held after school. • Drama offered various levels of instruction for beginners and advanced. • Practical application, oral interpretation, and creativity and originality were emphasized. 48 Academics Performing Arts Sophomore Robin Kroot transforms her model Josh Kroot in to an elderly person with the help of make-up.

Performing Arts Academics 49 [Journalists take honors in contests] Cropping pictures, drawing layouts, shooting pictures, and writing stories, all this, plus much more, went into producing the 1987 Altis. But the ideas for the yearbook started long before '87. The theme idea, The Right Choice, was conceived around midnight by the two editors, Tracy Perkins and Angie King, at the I.U. journalism workshop. Since that moment the staff strived to have fun while producing a quality book. After-school work sessions, complete with carry-in McDonalds or Domino’s, helped the pressured staff members complete deadlines. Computer foul-ups, no pictures, and no time added to frustration. But as May rolled around, slowly things fell into place and the yearbook was complete. Past awards included Southeastern Indiana Student Press Association awards for Yearbook of the Year (2nd), Campus Life Coverage (1st), Best Makeup (1st), Academic Coverage (2nd), Best Theme and Development (2nd), and Best Copy (2nd). The second aspect of the publications department, the Oracle newspaper, also had boasting rights. Throughout the year, the Oracle brought students the news about topics such as the drug bust, and the possibility of consolidating East and North High Schools. However, the paper also tried to include entertaining yet informative features. Two new Apple Macintosh computers allowed the Oracle staff to do its own typesetting and create sophisticated graphics. The ability to typeset copy on the computers also saved the staff form having to do paste-ups at the North High School print shop. Staff members were recognized by a variety of sources during the year. Senior Eric Johnson received first place in the Apple High School Newspaper Contest for work produced on the computer; Junior Michele Hudson was one of four winners of the Insurance Institute of Indiana, Inc. scholarship for an article about holiday road safety; Senior Krista Miller, Johnson, and Junior Angie Gorbett won awards totaling nearly $130 from the Indiana Press Association writing contest Both staffs served a vital purpose and made a significant contribution to the student body and Columbus.

Oracle Academics 51 Students join the ranks of the ’walking dead’ A typical teenager's day consisted of slaving over books, sweating over homework, and subserving to rules. After a day at school, though, over half of East’s student body chose to join the ranks of what Joyce Heckman, counselor, referred to as the walking dead . These were students so bogged down with homework and jobs that they became lifeless forms concerned only with their parttime work. The reasons students opted to sacrifice time with friends, homework, and family for jobs that payed on the average $50 weekly were varied. 1 am working (at Pizza Hut) for money towards my college education, Linda Miner, senior, said. The survey indicated that only a few people actually worked to supplement their family’s income or for college money. Most worked because they claimed to have nothing better to do than to acquire spending money. This extra money went for the most part towards clothing and cars. Many times when you ask a kid why he works, he will tell you 'to pay for my car.' If you ask him why he needs a car, he will tell you 'to get to work’, Jon Shepler, French teacher, said, citing what he saw as backwards logic. Shepler believed teens who worked, cheated themselves in two ways. First, the job often took priority over school. Secondly, students did not have time to get involved in school activities. Contrary to Shepler's views, though, the majority of working teens claimed that school stood as their number one priority with family and work following. I usually ask to work on weekends instead of weeknights. It's really kind of fun when my friends come in, Miner said. Shepler admitted the benefits of gaining responsibility from jobs was valuable if the student could handle it. Not all could. Heckman spoke with students everyday who found it impossible to balance schoolwork with jobs. The job often becomes the excuse as to why homework is not done or is done inadequately, Heckman said Both Heckman and Shepler believed that students who helped support their families should work. Heckman expressed concern that taking a job is often a premature, and unneccesary, leap into the adult world. Some did not observe any negative aspects of working teens. Working is solely up to the individual: we can’t dictate our standards. Some students can work a 40 hour week and maintain an 'A' average, Ron Semba, Business Department chairperson, said. by Krista Miller r Popular Job Choices restaurants 36% babysitting 15% stores 21% other 28% ,heWorking Sector A recent survey distribut- ed to over 100 students asking whether or not they worked showed the follow- ing results.

Computers were used throughout the school in all departments. Mall F.ichcn JdM n Konicc .ki Darren Lucas takes advantage of the availability of computers during his resource mod. The business de- partment provided computers and typewriters that students could use during their free time. 54 Academics Computers Computer use extended throughout school Computer use throughout the school has been extended to all departments from performing arts to physical education. The majority of these computers were stationed in the business courses and the computer lab. The business department currently has eighty computers. Apple He, IBM, and CBM are the types of computers used in such business courses as keyboarding, and business computer applications. Ron Semba, business department chairperson, explained that by using the various types of computers, students increase their ability to use computers in college. We (business department) lessen confusion of students by using the same brand in each class though the brand could change from course to course, Semba added Semba went on to say that over the past few years upperclassmen have encouraged other students to take business applications and keyboarding. Graduates have found these classes to be very helpful once in college. I have learned how computers are used in business situations not just fun and games, Junior Monica James, business applications student, said. In the audio visual department seven mobile computers were available for teachers to check out on a two week basis. These computers are quite helpful to departments such as foreign language and physical education, where they do not have permanent computers installed, John Rhoades, chairman of audio visual, explained. Teachers were able to bring these computers to the classroom to give students an opportunity to work with them. Before this time, the only way a student was able to work with computers was through a specific computer class. For the first time, two Apple Macintosh computers helped to produce the Oracle and the Altis. Publication students found these computers to be very helpful. The computers helped to edit stories faster for the Altis because stories are easily recalled on the computers. It took awhile for the students to become acquainted with the computers, but over all the computers have saved a lot of time, Angie King, co-editor- | in-chief of the Altis, explained. Over the past two years computers have been implemented school wide. The newly formed Technology Committee, comprised of faculty within the school corporation, help decide where computers are most needed by Lora Emerson Computers implemented around the school Resourse —90 —so — 0 — 0 -50 —:0 — 30 ( •. o -:o —10 £ 35 The number of computers added to the school has in- creased greatly in the past two years.

With the artistic talent of the Yu sisters, Jessica and Melissa, a third floor mural now displays various buildings around the world at 40 degrees latitude. The Yu's began their work toward the end of February earlier this year. Jessica started planning the project last year. I wanted to incorporate an idea that would be colorful and interesting but at the same time educational, Jessica, senior, explained. The student council supplied the money to buy the paint and other needed supplies. Melissa, junior, helped Jessica by making a scale drawing of the world at 40 degrees and with the painting. I had to use a ruler and measure the lengths of the oceans and continents and then use a map with elevation marks to get the correct heights of the land. We had to then enlarge the drawing three times so it could be projected on the wall to then be traced, Melissa said. The majority of the mural is Finished with about 50 hours left for adding details. This is my favorite part of painting. I love to blend and paint whereas my sister likes to draw. I hope to add some more buildings, ships, clouds, and sunsets before I am finished, Jessica added. At graduation the mural was recognized as the 1987 senior class gift to the school. by Lora Emerson 56 Academics Awards Jennifer Stafford, Carmen Grinstead.

Likewise a band follows its drum majors. Fur- thermore, this elite group of three drills their players, leads them onto the field, and assists the man in charge. These various tasks contrib- ute to a successful team effort. “We have to keep everyone in line, but we can make it fun,” drum major Robin Mendell, senior, said. Keeping everyone in line was only the beginning of the drum majors re- sponsibilities. “We’re the band jani- tors. We set up for practices and we clean up afterwards,” Mendell add- ed. Although morning practices inter- fered with their sleeping habits, Mcn- dell, along with Sophomore Dan Val- entine and Senior Eric Wilcox, enjoyed their role of instructing and directing the other band members. “Directing the band in the director's absence gave me the feeling of total responsibility. The band's coopera- tion made this possible,” Valentine said. To prepare for their role, the drum majors attended a week long camp. After camp, marching band practices began. This included two or three mornings a week, plus their normal band mod. Because of their leadership abili- ties, the talented drum majors led the band in a successful year. by Robin Kroot Angela Gofbctt During summer band camp Senior Robin Mendell helps direct the band. As one of three leaders, Mendell shared the responsi- bilities as head drum major.

But Concert Choir does much more than just sing songs every day. They participated in many outside activities that were exciting to the members and audiences they entertained. The choir toured several elementary schools. At East they gave three seasonal concerts. Every year at the Winter concert, the choir performed a major work, such as The Messiah by Handel. A new performing experience for Concert Choir was the musical revue Broadway Follies . It showcased all divisions of the performing arts department — choir, band, drama, and dance. For the first time, the members of Concert Choir received the opportunity to visit New York City. The eighteen students and four adults that went thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Two registered nurses, Kay Gorday and Susan Janowski, instructed the Health Occupations program. We are on the road a lot of the time. It gets a lettle hectic, Janowski said. With fund raising on the side HOSA met everyday. We pride ourselves on the individualization our class offers, Gorday said. Each student had a special project idea that they worked on. Students in HOSA felt they benefitted from the program in may ways. At the end of the course, you are a certified nurse's aide, and have gained the confidence that you are good at something, Senior Angela Petro said. Perhaps even more important than the gained responsibility, medical knowledge, and training, the students gained a deeper respect for others. I feel a great compassion for the elderly and the handicapped, Senior Linda Ehrensburger said. Seniors Lisa Gates and Linda Ehrens- burger take part in a nurse's aide lesson on vaccinations.

Russian classes enhance job prospects America’s contact with Russia expands into the areas of business, computers, and trade. This expansion has long-reaching effects on the students of today. Students with a knowledge of languages entering the real world will be at a tremendous advantage when securing jobs since the use of foreign languages is becoming very prevalent Getting a good job sometimes depends on the ability to converse with people in other languages, Betty Spencer, language aide, said. Because society continues to confront foreigners in today's market the addition of the Russian language to the curriculum will be an asset to many students. The course offers many skills such as learning to read and write the Cyrillic alphabet and comprehending simple, written texts. Although these skills are a necessity when learning a new language, the class also includes discussions on Soviet cultures and politics, singing Russian folk songs, and preparing Russian foods. We look at slides on everyday situations and describe them in Russian, then we discuss Russia's culture, Alison Kyle, freshman, said. The course offers students many advantages, such as the possibility of a better job, an awareness of another culture, and a knowledge of the language's basic skills. by Robin Kroot During the Ethnic Expo at the Commons.

Jtills Hannntcr Mall Jcnkin l AK DRAMA Theatre groups fill calendar Bustling with activity, the theatre department had an almost overly ac- tive year. Production and other theatre activities were stuffed into every possi- ble date on the calendar. Active mem- bers found bi-monthly drama club meetings just the place to relax away from the pressures of performing and had fun while polishing up on new act- ing techniques. Goaled towards developing “The Whole Actor , meetings centered on helping students learn special tech- niques to help with performing. Mem- bers learned through games in improvi- sation, creativity, vocalizing, state movement and storytelling. Officers from the East Drama Club arranged a meeting with North in Oc- tober as an attempt to bring the two interests together. North students per- formed an original comedy skit based on “The Brady Bunch , followed by a cutting from “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodic . “We also did improvisations. It was really difficult working with people you don’t know, Junior Jason Peters said. Other activities included a trip to Chichi's (and an unsuccessful attempt to buy tickets to an I.U. play), a Christ- mas party, guest speaker, Barbara Ev- ans who gave a workshop on “Masks and theatre conferences; ITA, State, and the International Thespian Festi- val at Ball State University. by Jennifer Hunter Highlights: ‘Gala Italiano' was the theme for the Thespian Initiation.

To put a production together and then to be able to look back and watch the tv program, they had made, was a dream students on the tv crew knew well. As in fairy tales, the dream Came true. East's tele- vision staff had the opportunity to pro- duce “Today's Schools”, and they grabbed at that chance. According to Victor Fields, televi- sion consultant, the experience stu- dents gained working on live television programs was of greater value to them than the experience gained from work- ing student programs. As a result. Fields utilized a philosophy which called “come alive education.” His students produced “Today’s Schools”, a program featuring Dr. Ralph Liebcr, the superintendent. Pre- miered in mid-February on cable chan- nel 36, “Today's Schools” was a prod- uct of “come alive education”. A stu- dent crew did all the planning, filming, and making of the set. Fields, pleased with the show, said, “The kids worked hard and it paid off.” Agreeing with him. Senior Eric Wil- cox, television crew member, said. “It was a lot of fun and full of learning experiences.” Added Senior Luke Ei- senbraun, “It was a great opportunity to gain hands-on-experience.” by Kevin Greenlee TELEVISION Highlights: Basketball games, speech, and drama classes were taped by crew members.

Sometimes the best part of being a team member comes from memories such as team rituals, crazy stunts, and fun times instead of the scoreboards and statistics.

I think that we should have won, but anyone can lose on a given night. Hufty, Weaver achieve All-State honor Varsity falls in first round, 26-21 All guts, no glory. This phrase fitted the varsity team which grinded out an impressive 8-0 mark in regular season only to lose out on any state-wide acclaim in the first sectional encounter. Southport shattered the team s state hopes in a 21-26 decision 1 don't really think we came into tte game overconfident. We were just beaten by a team that came after us. Southport played well, Coach John Stafford said. Stafford was chosen by The Republic as 1986 Area Coach of the Year We struck early, then had trouble offensively. Stafford said The rain effected our passing game some, but the real damage may have come along the line Southport was strong They were bigger than what we thought was coming in, and they dominated along the football. Despite the setback in tourney competition, the regular season proved to be more successful than the coaches ever expected. We thought we we re going to have a good team, he said I figured 5-3 or 6-2 was realistic. Obviously the regular season was nice. Opening the season at home, the Olympians squeaked past Seymour 6-3, then never looked back. (The second game was not as difficult as the varsity team defeated cross- town rival, North, 23-8). After this contest the season was not as formidable with such wins as: Jennings County. 45-0; Madison, 26-6; and Shelbyville, 49-0. Although the team lost out in tourney play, many players did earn local and state-wide honors. Local All-Area team players were Kevin Farris, Player of the Year; Ben Weaver, Defensive Player of the Year; Jay Lemmon; Chris Powell; Rob Hufty, Doug Bennett; and Dennis Pierce All-State honors went to Rob Hufty and Ben Weaver The team also won the Hoosier Hills Conference championship. We had a great season,' Coach Stafford said. I thought we were good enough to win the sectional.and on a given night we might have. Really, we surprised a lot of people with the 8-0 record We would have liked to have won, of course, but you can't gripe about our season Coach Stafford, who saw his team, ranked fifth in the state, fall for the first time in nine games, said You can always talk about what could have been. Our guys can look back on an unbeaten regular season.

Varsity Football Sports 75 — Tough freshmen post winning season Reserves post 2-6 season Physical” described the freshman football team according to Don Schmidt while unique was the word that reserve football coach Bill Barnes used to describe his team. The freshman posted a season record of 7-1 while the reserve team ended their season with a 2-6 record. To become a physical team they began training early. This training consisted mainly of weight training which began the Monday after the beginning of summer vacation. The weights helped them build their strength and endurance. I had a hard working bunch of kids. There was no dead weight, Schmidt said. The big highlight of the year was defeating Martinsville because after the game the fans couldn't believe what they saw. People in Martinsville aren’t use to getting beat. As we were leaving the field the people looked at us in awe, Schmidt said. Support from the offensive line helped to defend the quarterback and also helped to gain yardage. This offensive line helped Pete Manowitz, the teams linebacker and tailback, gain more than 1600 yards in the eight games. Manowitz is a super player but without the blocking backs there he wouldn’t have gone very far, Schmidt said. Another form of gaining yardage was passing. I was also blessed with two very good quarterbacks. They split the playing time, so they got equal amounts of experience, he added The success of the season is usually directed toward the players and coach, but according to Schmidt there was a big network of people involved. These people include the parents, Mr. Shook, Mr. Stafford, the trainer, and Mrs. Bokelman, the athletic department's secretary. By winning we say thank you a little better, he said. Schmidt believes that the team will have a big impact in football in the future, but only if they keep practicing. If they continue to work, they (the team) will be a big force at East. But, they have to continue to work, he said. The uniqueness of the reserve football team was that, Everyone got a chance to play. I don’t know of any other team that does that, Barnes said. By not playing the best players the number of wins were cut down. We could probably win about two more games if we played our best players, but we try to win with everyone, Barnes said. The players gained experience because everyone played on the reserve level. This helps Coach Stafford because the players have more experience if they move to varsity. We gave up games at the reserve level to win games at the varsity level. We were willing to give that up, Barnes said. The teams attitude during the game may of helped or hindered the outcome of the game. The team’s attitude in the beginning of the game was rather immature. It was like we were going in the backyard to play football and mess around. As it (the game) went on they matured some. Our intensity level was also low. A team needs goods intensity, Barnes said by Chris Harpenau 76 Sports Reserve and Frosh Football Sophomore Dan Deaton tries to avoid being tackled by cutting across the field.

Dominic Olivcrio --- Luck, was not in sight ---------- Victories halted by bad luck Seldom has an athletic team played as well and had as little to show- for its efforts as this year's soccer team. Despite a fi- nal seasonal record of 5-9-2, the team was never really out- played. With some breaks, the team could have gone undefeat- ed but luck was nowhere in sight. After winning the season opener over Greensburg 8-1, East dropped during the next three games. The team played well, but the opposition took ad- vantage of every mistake. Sen- ior James White scored the win- ning goal against Rushvillc in a 1-0 victory. After losing to Warren Central 0-2, the soccer team tied Richmond 1-1 with a goal scored by Phillip Hales. The team fought North to a 1-1 stalemate. Freshman Jer- rod Whipker scored to lone goal in the first half of the game. The Olympians dominated Jennings County 7-2. Injuries and ill- nesses contributed to losing the next three games played against. “Many games were lost due to lack of hustle and laziness, Coach Jon Sheplcr said. Senior Greg Vanhaus scored the winning goal against New Albany 1-0. In a hard-fought, evenly-played game, the team lost to Columbus North 4-3. Senior Craig Hartman scored twice, freshman Troung Nguyen once, while Senior Brad Allen provided the spark for the team in the second half. The 2-3 loss in overtime to North Lawrence was the most frustrating game that ended the season. The players, coaches, and the fans attributed the loss to incompetent officiating. Coaches Shcpler and Ernie Carvajal worked and developed the team of sixteen members on team work, physical endurance. good ball handling, shooting, player positioning, and passing the ball to the right spot. Hart- man was a four year veteran who made significant contribu- tion to the team by mastering these skills. He led the team in scoring seven goals and seven assists. At the annual soccer ban- quet, Hartman was named Most Valuable Player and also received an annual award given by the U.S. Army for outstand- ing teamwork. Junior Scott Kelsey was named Most Im- proved Player. by Kevin Bergner.

But our 35-1 sea- son is something we can always be proud of.” --- Mellinger makes All-State Varsity places 2nd in semi-state Jump, set, spike. These were all terms heard during the Vol- leyball season as the varsity team captured an amazing 35th straight win. Some predicted that the third round of the IH- SAA state tournament would be nothing more than another short and sweet victory for the Olympians, but when the smoke had cleared it was East w ho had been shut down by Perry Me- ridian 15-7. 15-11. Poor officiating? Too much pressure? Ineffective passing? Too much, or too little aggres- siveness? Everyone had differ- ent explanations for the loss. “It wasn't just one call. The offici- ating was horrible. I felt that we didn’t get a break all night,” Assistant Coach Dave New land said. However, it may have been the last call that decisively handed the defeat to the 35-0 Olympians. After scoring twice to bring the team to an 12-11 deficit, Kelly Arnholt. senior, was called for a violation at the net. Three serves later the game was over. “I've never been close to this upset with officiating,” New- land said. “That last call was impossible. And Perry Merid- ian set it with one hand several times. In high school, that's al- most an automatic whistle. The officials never called it though.” Although the defeat to Perry Meridian was costly, the Olym- pians still finished second in the IHSAA state volleyball finals. The loss was also cushioned by their outstanding 35-1 record. Among the many highlights of the season were the near shu- tout of town rival, Columbus North, and the domination in the Hoosier Hills Conference where the varsity team scored a total of 90 points while only al- lowing their opponents to score a mere sum of 24 points. A major portion of the team's strength came from the senior starters: Kim Jackson, Jennifer Stafford. Becky Baker, Robin Alsup, Kelly Arnholt. and the winner of an All-State title, Stacia Mellinger.

The men's and women’s cross coun- try runners sacrificed many hours during the summer run- ning long miles such as these. Over the years, the most com- monly ran courses were given names by the runners and some of the tougher ones have be- come almost legendary in the minds of the team members. The mere mention of “Runge”, the most dreaded course would cause an Olympian runner to wince. Coach Bill McMahan said, “In the summer it is not as important how fast you run. but how many miles you put in. The important thing is to have a good base when official prac- tices start.” The men’s cross country team did well in the early meets. At the Pike Hokum Karums, an unusual running event involv- ing teams of two runners, the team of Seniors Tim Butler and Greg Griffin placed second overall. It was the highest team finish in the team’s hitory. Disaster struck in mid-sea- son. Butler, the team’s leading runner, became ill. During these four weeks, Griffin took over the team's lead spot.

Other members of the sec- tional team were Junior Kris North and Freshmen Kelli Brown, Sue Lamothc, and Kim Moore.

I was really optimistic of winning the sectionals again this year because we had the ability to win, Senior Greg Wright said. The team ended their season with a record of 8-12. Some of their most intense games resulted against Columbus North, the second game against Jennings County, Bedford North- Lawrence, and the sectionals game against Brown County. We should have won the game against North because the enthusiasm and skills to defeat them, Senior Mike Meyer said. Rebounding and shooting proved as the two primary strengths of the team. Rebounding and shooting were the two strong points of the team. They shot barely 50% for the year, Coach Roger Reed said. Senior Mike Meyer led the team by performing an average of 8.6 rebounds a game. Senior Paul Otte scored the most points, averaging 14.2 points a game. Playing teams which moved quicker than the they could turned out to be the major weakness against the team. We needed to think and move faster than we did, Wright said. Next year will bring many changes to the team. It will lose the three top senior players, Paul Otte, Mike Meyer, and Brian Wiechman who scored 62.8% of the team's total points during the 1986-87 season. Another will be the addition of three point shots to high school basketball. I hope that the three point shots will help make up for some of the lack of quickness, Coach Reed said. Three seniors received awards and recognitions. Meyer served as the team's Captain and named to the All-Conference team. Otte earned the Most Valuable Player award and cited by the Republic for one of the Republic's ten players of the year. Weichman received an honorable mention from the Republic for one of the top ten players of the year. Sophomore Jerome Johnson-Bey was named to the All-Sectional team. by Kelly Nolting year, he was chosen to the All-Sectional team and he was cited for being the Most Valuable Player his senior year. Otte’s chief goal was achieved his junior year when he first made the varsity basketball team. During his junior year, the team won the sectional title, however, the team lost to Brown County in the first game of the sectionals. Despite the disappointing defeat, Otte thought the team played a good season. We played better than people thought we did. We played better than people thought we did.

JV, Frosh learn fundamental to prepare for varsity play Reserves need a few more points The reserve basketball team finished the year at 8-12, but half of the twelve losses came by two points or less, according to Coach Gary Young. Of course, we try to win every game, but, realistically, we were shooting for something above .500. We easily could have been with a few breaks here and there, Young said. Reserve and freshman coaches do not place as much emphasis on winning as varsity coaches do, according to Young. They place the most emphasis on learning fundamentals in preparation for varsity play. The reserve teams give players a chance to gain experience so that they can succeed at the varsity level. We spend much of our time concentrating on teaching fundamentals, the basics that any player needs to be outstanding, Young said. Throughout their early games, the team relied on the benefits gained from a rigorous conditioning program of sprints and distance running that all East basketball players who do not play fall sports must complete and strong outside shooting to keep themselves in games, according to Young. Despite its record, many players had good years for the reserves. Young cited sophomore Greg Huff, who led the team in scoring and was second in rebounds alongwith playing excellent defense, as the team's best all-around performer. Freshman Andrew Demare led the team in assists, and Sophomore Jeff Baker was the team's leading rebounder. During the course of the year, various players showed significant levels of improvement, according to Young. He called Sophomores Mickey Herron and Aaron Jones-Bey the most improved. Overall, I was not too disappointed with the year, even if our record was not as good as I had hoped. We put in a good effort and had fun, Young said. The freshman A team Finished at 10-7 with the B team at 6-7 for the year. Freshman coach Tony Peck was very optimistic about the team's potential. 1 feel that this class of basketball players will play an important role in East basketball success over the next three years. They worked extremely hard and improved throughout the course of the season. Because of these young men I feel that East basketball has a very bright future. by Jeff Smith Phil Allen Sophomore Greg Huff tries to keep con- trol of the ball after almost losing it to the opponents.

We won only two games last season, and we're better this year, Junior Jolinda Buchanan said. Lacking confidence seemed to be a key factor to blame for the losses. “It'sdiscouraging for them because they don't seem to progress when they're not winning, Coach Wendy Bow- mar said. Although they ended this year's season with a 4-13 re- cord, the games were intensely played and fought out. Most of the vigorous plays occurred during the second half. “We needed to fire-up more before the games so we could play as hard during the first half as we did during the second half, Senior Talara Lykins said. The most tension and eager- ness to win came during the duel against the hometown rival Columbus North. The girls practiced harder and wanted to win this game more than any other game this season. “No one thought we could win, even though they still defeated us, we played extremely well, Senior Tracy Shaeffcr said. Disappointment took its toll when the team lost to Columbus North with the final score being 45-72. Junior Leah Byrnes led the team in scoring, and ranked third in steals. Sophomore Lisa Smith came in first with steals, second in points, and third with assists. Lykins offered the most assists, and ranked as the third leading scorer of the team. At the team's annual awards banquet, Byrnes earned Most Valuable Player, Lykins was named Team Captain, junior Joyce Downey achieved Most Improved, and junior Dawn Wells received the Mental Atti- tude award. Byrnes was named to the All Conference team and Smith and Lykins were named to the Honorable Mention Con- ference team. Along with a disappointing record came some positive out- comes and achievements, the team managed to improve last year's team record and personal statistics. by Kelly Nolting and Teresa King Junior Christin Husman blocks an op- posing New Albany player’s shot.

But through the aggressive and stenuous practices, most of the hopeful wrestlers stuck it out, trying for a position on the varsity team. Varsity wrestlers were chosen through challenge matches in the various weight classes. Although finishing their season, 12-9, few were disappointed with their results. I think that we had a basically good season considering our very young and inexperienced team, Coach John Stafford said. I think we had some outstanding matches including our meet with Center Grove and our Triple dual records, he added. Finishing the season with the most wins were James Shipp and Pat Taylor, who finished with conference championships. James Shipp was also sectional champ-126 and Most Valuable player. Pat Taylor was sectional champ-155. Brad Coers-98, Greg Griffin-105, and Ted Sabinas-167 all advanced to the regionals. Brian Gregg had an excellent season. This season was his first year of full time varsity action, Stafford said. Gregg was also voted Most Imporved Player. Outstanding rookies of the season proved to be Freshman Brad Coers and Nathan Dutton at heavy weight Many team members look to next year for an even better season. I think the team will prove to be much stronger next year because the majority of the players remain on the team, Junior Ted Sabinas said. Junior Pat Taylor views the team along the same lines, I have a postive outlook for next year's season. Since we only graduate three seniors, the team will have expereinced wrestlers on the roster. by Brian Vance Wres 11 ing Spons 93 Stretching out before a meet remains a must to compete in the best fashion.

Andy Dismorc Nicohl Birdwcll — Lady O's end season 3-8 -------------------- Swimmers anticipate better season Boys' swim coach David Fribley thought the season had great potential until five lettermen and two others quit the team at the start of the season. The team ended their season 0-16 and with nine swimmers. Five of those swimmers had no experience at the beginning of the season, three were average swimmers and Junior Steve Warren who was a superior athlete in Fribley's opinion. Warren was chosen by the team as the team's most outstanding swimmer. His strong point was the diving event. Warren practiced his diving techniques during practice, then came off the diving board to swim in events when he was needed. He could not practice, come in and outswim everyone, Fribley said. Swimmers that Finished the season were there because they liked to swim and for personal satisfaction, Fribley added. Fribley thought at the end of the season the outlook for the following year was real terrible unless we get more bodies. Warren was the only one on the team to advance past sectionals. He advanced to state diving where he was defeated. With little or no hope of winning a meet one might wonder how the team maintained enth-usiasm entering a hopeless meet. I like swimming, the team spirit, and spending time with my friends on the team, freshman Gary Smith said. Although posting a 3-8 season, girls' swimming coach, Jill Franke, remains pleased with the season's outcome. The lady swimmers placed second in conference and went on to place third in their sectional. Those three wins came in a row as the O’s dunked New Albany, 53-30, and sunk Floyd Central 51.5- 31.5. The lady swimmers squeaked by Jeffersonville, 88- 83. At times, the lady swimmers lost by a very close margin. The Bedford meet left the O's with a one point deficit, 86-85. Long practices that began in August were concluded at the end of November with an end- of-the-season pizza party. At that party, Janae Franke was named Most Valuable Player, or swimmer, for the season. Katie Held was named Most Improved. We lost a few seniors last year. We had a young and inexperienced team. Next year we should do much better, Franke said. by Chris Harpenau and Teresa King Swimming Sports 95 Using a powerful stroke. Senior Jay Dobbs attempts to get his golf ball out of a sand trap.

Matt i-lieken ---- Women post 7-8 record ------------ Coaches Burton and Gergely train teams in rebuilding years Racing to catch a school bus dragging golf clubs, a change of clothes and school books, the girls and boys golf teams rode out to Otter Creek golf course. Another golf practice began. A fall sport, the girl's golf team started practicing during the summer, sometimes as much as six hours at a time. After school practices lasted about two hours, putting, sand hitting, and chipping. Nikki Coy, team captain, said, Practices were usually long and hard but the work paid off. Advice was given and improvement was good. This year has really been an improving year. The new members have improved considerably. Next year's team should be excellent, Angie Marshall, most valuable player, said. Boys golf coach Bob Gergely felt that this year's season was very successful. A turning point came after the four way meet at Seymour, when East played Carrol ton of Kentucky, New Albany, and Seymour. The boys realized their potential when they came within 12 strokes of beating Seymour (at the time ranked first in the state) and were three strokes over their average. We have had some very good meets since that time. One weakness of the team included a lack of dedication on the part of the team members. Golf is a year-round sport. In order to be good at golf you have to work at it all year, not just in season, Gergely said. The team tried to smooth out their other weaknesses by videotaping practices with a home video camara. Although the boys did not see these tapes, Gergely gave them suggestions on their swings based on small problems indicated on these tapes. Experience ranked high as a strength of the team. We lost only three seniors from last season, and with two seniors returning this year, we were able, to have an advantage. Many of the players had also played over the summer. I would say that Jay Dobbs, Dave McMath, Andy Dismore, and Scott Westermeier provided the experience we needed to be successful, Gergely said. by Jennifer Hunter and Jeni Bell 96 Sports Golf Womens Golf.

The two remaining starters, both seniors, Sean Herrberg and Greg Dugan, played number one and number two singles. Dave Boyer filled the remaining singles position. East dominated the HHC tourney, considered the highlight of the year, with four out of the five finalists. Greg Dugan, senior, won his division to become HHC Champion at number three singles. When the season rolled around, I did better than I thought I'd do. I was happy with the results and the HHC really paid off, Dugan said. The doubles team of Brian Clark and Dave Boyer won the number two doubles and Sean Herrberg, senior, was runner-up at number one singles. Overall it was a good year. Because of our inexperience we had some trouble pulling out some of the close matches but, this will come in time, Coach Norton stated. A record 11-7 proved enough to motivate the girl's tennis team to earn a second in Conference at New Albany May 2. Senior Marcie Moon won second in number one singles competition and Kelly Watkins, also a senior, won second in the number three singles position. Doubles action in conference earned number one pair Angie Marshall, senior, and Christin Husmann, junior, a second place. Number two doubles players Nancy Wilt, senior, and HHC Champion Jenny Marshall, freshman, also earned a second. As for the season, second year coach, Terralin Schurr seems pleased although citing room for improvement. We did pretty well. We could have done better. We lost a good number one doubles team last year (to graduation. Joyce Kim and Tina Bose). We have a very strong number three singles player this year (Kelly Watkins) who lost two individual matches to the same girl in conference, Schurr said. Wins totaled 75 and losses amounted to 50 as Watkins finished with the most successful record of 15 wins and only 3 losses. Moon finished with a record of 10-9 and Kim earned an 11-5 record Doubles teams sometimes altered positions which gave each player a different record. Marshall finished with 12 wins and 7 losses and her partner, Husmann, went 11 and 7. Wilt finished with 9 wins and 10 losses and Holland went 7- 9. The second match of the season put Schurr's squad up against Columbus North. It was one of the toughest matches of the season, East fell 2-3. To complete the regular season, a 5-0 victory over Martinsville gave the team a possitive attitude going into sectionals. Sectional competition earned Schurr's squad a 5-0 win over Bedford and a third loss to Columbus North, 2-3. by Teresa King and Susan Brackney Taking a breath before the next serve.

Tennis Sporis 99 Pitching, defense keys 25-2 regular season mark-- Team reels off 19 straight wins Pitching and defense--the two ingredients no winning team can do without, according to baseball experts. Varsity baseball coach Lou Giovanini agrees fully with the experts. His emphasis on just these elements helped the team to a 25-2 regular season record with victories in the East and Jasper Invitational Tourneys along the way. When the season began, gone was the entire starting infield, along with the starting centerfielder and number one pitcher. The replacements were ready, but questions still remained. Opening Day brought an 18- 4 victory over a weak South Decatur team with Senior Rob Doll leading the way on the mound by picking up the first of his nine regular season wins. After dropping their second game to Seymour the next day, the team reeled off 19 straight wins to erase all doubts about their ability. Along the way a new blend of the young and old emerged to replace last year's seniors. Junior Fred Lawson took over centerfield duties and led the team in hitting from the leadoff slot. Sophomore pitcher Greg Hensley burst onto the scene with a perfect 6-0 regular season record. Freshman Brent Pelley and Junior Jody Wendel both hit over .300 and closed up the right side of the infield at third and short, respectively. Senior Tom McNay, a transfer from North, handled the catching duties. Senior Greg Dugan provided punch off the bench and in the outfield and became the team's best burner, a skill which helped win many a ballgame. The other two seniors on the team overcame slow starts on their way to successful seasons. Ben Weaver and Jeff Smith, both in their fourth year on the team, struggled a bit early but came on during the 19 game winning streak to play key roles in the team's success. First baseman Weaver combined power with a high average at the plate while Smith finished the regular season with six straight wins, including one in the championship of the Jasper Tourney. by Jeff Smith Right on A lot of credit goes to my teammates.

The first eight games everybody played, while the last five games we went out to win. The main thing is not to win a lot of games but to give the kids experience, David Johnson, freshman baseball coach, said. The team ended the season with a record of 4-6. Johnson said that the team strengths were five to six strong hitters and the pitching. There has been 100% improvement as far as skill and effort, Johnson said. The weaknesses were the defense needs improvement and that the players needed to learn a lot about baseball at a competitive level. The kids always tried their hardest to win. This was good experience for them in the future, Johnson said. On and off the baseball field Harry Land was a teacher. Off the field he taught in the industrial arts department and on the field he was the reserve baseball coach. All reserve coaches teach the fundamentals. At the reserve level you can't worry about the win-loss record, Land said. The team ended their season with a record of 8-6. Land said the strengths included good arms and the hitting. We were weak in baseball sense, they don't know what to do in baseball situations. I see individuals playing as individuals instead of a team, Land said. Captain Charles Seniors (junior,) and Jeff Baker (.sophomore,) were the leaders of the team.

Men struggle to improve depth Runners work for consistency Struggling to improve heights, distances, and times, the East mens track team ended the regular season with a record of 2-4, and seventh in sectional competetion. Coach Wally Murray said that it was basically a rebuilding season. Our primary job was to build depth in the sprints, 800, and field events, especially the shot put and discus, Murray said. Coach Murray cited the distance team as one of East’s major strengths. Led by Tim Butler and Greg Griffin, seniors, in the 3200 meter run, and Jason White, junior, and Jason Guthrie, sophomore, in the 1600 and 800 meter runs. The O's also had excellent efforts from Robert Maple and John Sturgill, sophomores, in the 800 and 3200 meter runs, respectively. The sprinters, hurdlers, and relay teams recorded successful seasons, with outstanding effort and improvement from Gary Homann, senior, in the hurdles. The 1600 meter relay team of Kevin Farris and Pat Taylor, juniors, and Kevin Borgman and Tom Lloyd, sophomores, and the 400 meter relay team of Farris, Lloyd, and juniors Theo Tucker and Paul Brown were particulary successful. The 400 relay team qualified for regionals, and Tucker advanced in the 200 meter dash. The field events lacked consistency and depth, according to Murray. Our biggest disappointment was the weight events, the shot and discus, Murray said. Junior Dan Caudill led the weight event team. High jumpers Trevver Farnsley junior, and Greg Shippley, sophomore, had respectable seasons, but the event lacked depth, according to Murray. The long jump was led by Gary Homann, senior, who advanced to regional competition. The rest of the jumpers were freshmen. Murray said the pole vault was one of the O’s strengths, and junior Darren Hinton had an excellent season. We all performed well against Jennings, and they were second in the conference, Murray said. He also cited the Columbus North dual meet and the Hoosier Hills Conference meet as highlights of the season. We knew we had at least six or seven good runners returning from last year, and we tried to build on them, but we didn't find enough, Murray said of the overall season. Coach Kevin Darr and the women’s track team finished the season 3-4, with a strong sectional performance. Depth was also a problem for the Lady O’s. Darr said the lack of depth in the short sprints, distance races, and high jump was one of the team's major weaknesses. We had the problem of not having a second real strong sprinter. We always had Kelly Rodde coming in first, but then needed a strong second and third runner...We only had Sharri Yeley in the high jump, and when she didn't do well, we lost those nine points, Darr said. The shot put and discus were the main strength of the women’s track team, according to Darr. The team, led by Jolinda Buchanan, junior, Lisa Seniors, junior, and Tracy Shaffer, senior, often swept meets in the weight events and Seniors and Buchanan went 1-2 in the conference meet. Distance races were not well covered in most meets, but the O's had excellent performances from Tracy Mauer and Kelly Arnholt, backed up by freshman Sue Lamothe. Both advanced from sectional to regional competition, along with Kelly Rodde in the 100 meter dash and the 400 meter relay team consisting of Denise Campbell, freshman, Lisa Brooks, sophomore, Tracy Salinas, sophomore, and Kelly Rodde, senior. Coach Darr said that the imrovement shown through the season was excellent, with drastic improvement by everybody. by Tod Smith ■ Mens Track Coach: Wally Murray Season: 2-4 Fast Opp 59 Seymour 68 36 Bloomington South 91 69 Shelby ville 26 65 Jennings County 61 53 Columbus North 74 56 Rushvillc 71 Seymour Relays 5th Columbus North Relays 6th Jeffersonville Relays 15th HHC 5th Sectional Mens Track.

Track Spons 105 — Cheerleaders volunteer time and enthusiasm ----- Special activities spark morale The typical stereo-type of a cheerleading squad tended to be a group of girls who stood in front of a crowd with smiles plastered on their faces while executing fourth grade moves and chanting phrases repeatedly to the rhythm of those moves. But for those behind the scenes, cheer- leading involved much more. Once a girl is chosen as a cheerleader, she finds it involves hours which far surpass those of practice. These hours are spent in such activities as visiting the children's ward at the hospital, making signs to announce upcoming games (which unfortunately involves accidentally spray painting one's hands occasionally), rushing out at 7:50 a.m. to buy treats for the team when one forgets, and selling endless numbers of spirit buttons. As with any team, cheerleading had its fond memories. Memories such as watching The Grinch that Stole Christmas at the annual Christmas party held at Senior Tracy Maurer’s house, munching on left-over snacks, and blowing up piles of balloons for the football arch. Male cheerleaders, once again, added an extra lift to basketball season. The guys endeavored to pull spirit out of the crowd with their zany antics and C-O cheers. Sophomore Glenda Sherman, a Junior Varsity basketball cheerleader, said, The best part about being a cheerleader is that you never have a winning or losing team- even though the statistics may say differently. Every team is great and every season has its highlights. The memories always make each season special. by Angie King Cheryl Zuckschwcrdt Performing the traditional “Good Luck cheer.

Salinas has been involved in gymnastics for 11 years. My mother put me in gymnastics when I was five because 1 was always standing on my head and doing other stunts, Salinas said. Being in gymnastics takes many hours of practice to prepare for a meet. I practice three and a half hours a day, Salinas said. Salinas has suffered many set backs while working in gymnastics. She tore a ligament in her knee two years ago. She has had an operation through Sports Med. in Indianapolis, Coach Nancy Kirschman said. I could not do half as much as I could before the injury. At my first practice after my injury, 1 was overprotective of my knee, Salinas said. Recovering is a long hard process, but it has not discouraged her. She has worked hard to rebuild her knee. She lifts weights, swims, and runs to help rebuild the strength in her knee. I just wanted to get back to prove to people that I could do it, Salinas said. Gymnastics plays an important role for Salinas. Gymnatics gives me confidence, Salinas said. Salins played an important part of the East gymnastics team. She encourages team to perform the best that they can. She makes up most of the team, freshman Kim Moore said. She is a hard worker. She sets her goals high and she always accomplishes them, Freshman Sue Lamothe said. Future plans for Salinas include attending college. She would like to attend Indiana University. I would like to continue with gymnastics in college if my knee holds up, Salinas said. Getting a scholarship would be nice. by Michelle Hudson 108 Right Connections Meyer aims to repeat success Ten years ago, a little kid named Mike Meyer played his first game of organized basketball at the Columbus Boys Club. Today Meyer, no longer at 6’S , was East’s starting center. Meyer's most oustanding game for the 1986-87 season was against Brown County on November 25, when he scored 22 points and grabbed 20 rebounds. The Brown County game and making the varsity (junior year) are probably the highlights of my career, Meyer said. He cited rebounding as his primary strength and his ballhandling as his weakness. The graduation of Jody Littrell left Meyer as the team's big man and giving him some responsibilities he did not face last year. I had to pick up the scoring and also team leadership,” Meyer said. Mike leads by example. He keeps a positive outlook through the good and the bad. He always gives 100%, and you can underline always , Varsity Coach Roger Reed said. Meyer started playing basketball at the Boys Club at age six. He has played each of the last ten seasons, including four years at St. Peters Lutheran School and four years at East. He plans to attend Ball State University after graduation, but does not plan to continue in basketball. by Alison Peck The Republic During the football game against Madison, senior Ben Weaver runs with the ball to score a touchdown. During basketball practice after school. Senior starting center Mike Meyer “acts cool ’ for the camera. Weaver excels in football, baseball The crowd becomes tense as the ball flies through the air. As the ball flies into the hands of teammate 31, he dashes over the goal line and senior Ben Weaver scores again. Weaver, a multi-talented person, works hard at what he does best-sports. Weaver has lettered in several different sports since he was a freshman. Football has been his main emphasis. If I want to keep on what I am now, I can't slack off, Weaver said. Boys usually start out young when playing field sports just as Weaver. My dad got me started into baseball when I was four, andl turned to football in the third grade. Weaver puts all of his heart in what he does, Varsity Football Coach said. Weaver spends many hours practicing out on the field. I work hard out there and put in a lot of time for my sports and I love it very much. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment Working out on the field is a lot of work and time consuming. I put in a lot of time with the team to help perfect us. It's strenuous work, but it's worth it all, Weaver said. Being in sports and having to cope with homework is not always easy. I have some difficulty at times. With a bit more work than usual, I get along fine. Along with homework responsibilities, players also have responsibilities on the field. We have to care for each other, the fans, and the band help liven us up. added Weaver. The 1986 varsity football team played a victorious season. Going undefeated until the sectionals was exciting for the whole school, but even more so for team members. It's an exciting experience being out there. It gets intense, but I enjoy it, Weaver concluded. by Chris Nolting Right Connections 109 A • • Flaherty Conn Lectio i IS • IU Champs • State Nat’I Flaherty sisters aim to help one another Wanda Flaherty, junior, and Sonya, freshman, hope to help one another become better basketball players without the strife typical of a pair of high school sisters. Both played junior varsity until the beginning of the year when Wanda advanced to the varsity level and has remained there. Having a sister as a fellow basketball member does carry some advantages. Bas-ketball helps to bring Wanda and Sonya closer by talking together about the last game they played or what happened during practice. They also help each other in and out of the regular basketball season. During the off season they scrimmage against one another at home, then they correct each other on what was good or bad as they play. Being sisters can help or hinder. In the case of the Flaherty's it helps. We understand each other well so we're able to help one another more than other people,” Sonya said. By having someone to lend a helping hand Wanda and Sonya help each other through thick and thin. There are good and bad days. Sonya is there.

With only four seconds on the clock Smart's jumper from sixteen feet swished the net for the final two points. The victory also gave Coach Bob Knight his third NCAA tide. For the game All American guard Steve Alford scored 21 point to tie Smart's total. Smart, named the games most valuable player, drove home 17 of his total during the second half. Whether loyal TU fans or not, most students and teachers sported cream and crimson (red and white) colors during the day of the Final game and the day following.

Ko’s Martial Arts Academy. Tae Kwon Do, translated literally it means the art of hand and foot fighting, ultimately aimed at the develop-ment of character of its participants. According to Yun Sam Ko, owner of Ko's, most people think karate is something only strong guys can do, (but) martial arts are for everyone. Even the handicapped learn self defense. It depends on your ability to learn. He's an old man, admitted second degree black belt Brian Rice, who has taken lessons from Ko for five years, But I wouldn't mess with him. Rice felt the time he has spent in karate has helped him. It (Tae Kwon Do) gives you more self control. I used to have a real quick temper, he said. Black belt Steve Davis agreed with Rice about the benefits of karate. (It helps you become) more aware of your surroundings, he said. The popular movie The Karate Kid interested Davis enough in karate for him to begin his lessons two and a half years ago. According to Ko everyone needs self defense and exersise, which karate can provide to them. Ko also believed that karate can provide a person with everything from self confidence to popular-ity. by Kevin Greenlee Vlatt Jcnkini Senior Jay Dobbs takes on one of the many fundamental stances while studying at Ko’s Martial Arts Acadcmv.

Senior Jeff Smith prefers to make his money by creating his own jobs. He designs ads for the Advertiser, programs for East's school plays, and brochures for local businesses, in addition to writing a weekly spons column for the Advertiser. Smith, co-editor-in-chief of the Oracle, began pursuing this interest by taking a first year journalism class as a freshman. By the second semester, Smith possessed the writing ability to earn him a position as a staff member for the Oracle. Then, in both his junior and senior years he was promoted to co- editor-in-chief. Jeff gives good instructions has high standards, doesn't demand too much of people, and talks well. He also is concerned about others' ideas and expresses himself well, Dan Niles, his publications adviser, said. Smith said that being on the staff makes you more visible at school. It’s a good feeling to have your work published and to have people telling you they read it, Smith said. He received lab awards at Indiana University last summer. He also received a scholarship from I.U. East awarded him a most promising journalist award and a journalism award of excellence alongwith various Outstanding Olympian commendations. In the future Smith hopes to combine his journalistic talents with an interest in business by majoring in corporate communications in college. by Keri Bartes Most Likelv to...

The problem is a disease known to the medical world as braindeadosis maximus, for those unfamiliar with the scientific term, I refer of course to Large Group’s Disease. We have all seen it happen. A healthy teenager, laughing and swearing and thriving in his youth, bounds toward room A128- suspecting nothing. He enters the room, but is unaware of the dust that begins to settle onto his brain. He takes his seat and prepares to take notes. But before he can say room A128, the disease has taken effect. He slumps in his chair. His pencil drops. His eyes close. He props his head on his hands. The teacher's voice becomes a blur. Large Group's Disease has claimed another victim. Medical scientists have been studying the disease in underground labs for the past 14 years. Dr. I. M. Wright, author of Large Group’s Disease: The Force Destroying America, said. Students make the foolish mistake of believing that they are immune to this disease. In actuality, the only reliable immunization is to receive a master’s degree in education. According to Wright, all of the symptoms of Large Group's Disease can be scientifically explained. The germ-filled dust settles on the brain, melting the backbone and explaining the slump. So much dust settles that the head must be held up by one, or in extreme cases, two hands. The eyelids and fingers becomd very weak, sc pencils drop and eyes close. Wright's solution is to issue everyone a master's degree, and end the spread of the disease. But the situation is not as clear- cut as it seems. A group of anti- Wrightists, under die leadership of Dr. U.R. Wrong, has spoken out against Wright's claims. There is no medical evidence to support Dr. Wright's findings. He is simply looking for an excuse to make culprits look like victims, Wrong said. According to Wrong, no disease exists, only lazy students who stay up too late watching TV. Morton and Edna Gone organized Parents Against Large Groups (PALG) after their son, Luciano, died from Large Group’s Disease, the only fatality on record. Luciano Gone fell asleep in a large group and consequently did not hear the fire alarm that cleared the building. He was never seen again. His parents assume he perished in the flames. (It is interesting to note that ther was no fire. The student body was required to stay 13 minutes after school ended.) Support for PALG is growing. If it weren’t for large groups, Luciano would still be with us, Mrs. Gone said. by Alison Peck Pole Agoslinelli Andy Alka Tim Anderson Laura Anthers Darrin Baack Doug Baker Jean Baker Kim Baker Brian Ballard Judy Bannister Steve Barker Toby Barker Teresa Barkcs Elaine Barmore Cammic Baming Teresa Bates Amy Bean IXmg Bennett Kelly Bennett Stacy Bennett Jcssi Be vis Nicohl Birdwell Jackie Board Angie Bolander Amy Boles Jennifer Borcherding Brad Bower Danny Bowling Juniors,'Ag- Ho Michelle Bowman Bryon Bradley Kelly Bradley Erik Branstad Ryan Brewer Gayannc Brown Julie Brown Lesa Brown Mary Brown Peggy Brown Richie Brown Debbie Brumbaugh Beth Brunni Jolinda Buchanan Doug Burbrink Jennifer Burbrink Steve Burns James Burton Melissa Burton Brian Butler Mike Buzzard Steve Cain Anthony Campbell Natalie Carr David Chadd Timothy Childers Vicky Clegg Melissa Compton Alysa Conrad Casey Cordry Jason Corrcll Karen Cowan Shannon Cox Clark Cummins Angela Curtis Melissa Davidson Cori Davis Edward Davis Marcia Days Andy Dcvcrs Megan Dill Andy Dismore Carla Disney Shawn Dixon Ron Doll Joyce Downey Rob Dunham Randy Dulong Heather Dunn Brian Eastcrday Kathleen Eddy Debra Ehrensbcrger Lori Ellcgood Ann Eisbury Lora Emerson Priscilla England Rachel England Rebecca England Mark Eppley Chris Erfmeier Tammic Estes Rob Evcrroad Bo-Ev Juniors 129 Trevor Farnsley Kevin Farris Chris Fields Tcss Fields Yvonne Fillingcr Erin Finn Wanda Flaherty Rob Fletcher Leslie Folkman Betsy Fowler Josie Fox Jim Frakcs Janac Frankc Steve Frazer Robert Ciatcr Karen Gilbert Tammy Gilpin Nelson Gingery Kim Gommcl Angela Gorbctt Julie Gouwalles Kevin Gray William Gray Debbie Grebe Gail Greene Mike Greenwood Karen Gricger Travis Grooms Denise Guffey Laura Hamon Jim Handley Chris Harpenau Angela Harris Ian Hash Mike Hatton Bill Hawkins Lori Haymaker Eric Hehc Karen Held Robin Hendrickson Ronnie Hibbs Darren Hinton Susan Holland Melinda Hopper Ed Hornbakcr Kim Howard Matt Howery Martin Hudson Michelle Hudson Brent Huffman Jennifer Hunter Amy Hurst Christen Husman Monica James Nicky Janes Cassie Jeffries Kim Jessie Jerry Jerome Kimberly Johns Michael Johnson-Bey Melissa Jones Sarah Jordan D.D. Jump ISO Juniors Far-Jum JNP ...and on the sixth day, there was Saturday... After five days of waking at the crack of dawn, only to slave over textbooks and suffer through large group lectures, Sat. truly came as a blessing. Who can possibly complain of a day that only held relaxing and vegging out on its agenda? the Sat. world is a special world, not to be disturbed by intruders. I awake at 10 sat. morning not wanting to face the world. I roll over in my soft, warm, bed recalling last night's antics and ponder an excuse for breaking curfew. I decide to brush my teeth to relieve them of morning gludge and rub my gooey eyes. Refreshed, I stumble downstairs in my long underwear to subject myself and my nightwear to the wrath of my cool dude nine year old brother. I see London. I see France. I can see your underpants. I threaten to narc on him about his twelve year old, purple haired girlfriend and he quickly shuts up. Hearing the cuckoo clock , I hurdle over the coffee table to tune in Pee Wee's Playhouse, my Sat. morning salvation. No one can make my blood pump the way Pee Wee does. I chant with him Mecka lecka hi, mecka hiny ho. Meckka lecka hi, mecka hiny ho... Unlike Pee Wee's wish that always comes true with his magical chant, mine never has and probably never will, for my brother still sits in the comer picking his toes. I hear my parents asking, no, on second thought, grinding, from the kitchen, about why I was late last night. I act like I cannot hear. What? , I yell until they finally give up exasperated. Unable to cope with flying toe jam any longer, I venture upstairs to the shower until the hot water supply is depleted . Of course as soon as that moment comes, my dad knocks on the door. Don't use all the hot water. Streaking from the shower into my room my brother's hearty laughs echo throughout the hallway. Just look at those buns. Hey Mom! It's a full moon. Finally motivated, even his jeers cannot stop me. I dry off and pull on my lazy day garb. otherwise known as the economical look. It consists of cut off pink sweats, a faded orange and red checkered flannel shirt, and purple metallic knee socks. Unwilling to fool with my long hair, I conserve a bottle of hairspray by pulling on a baseball cap. My face, I decided, will go nude today. This means plum bags under microscopic eyes, pimpled forehead, and pale , hollow cheeks. Hey Elvira, when does the creep show start? my brother yells through the crack in the door. Shut up, I yell back. Who will I see today? Tell me who I will see, you little monster ? Yes, I had to say them, the fatal words. For as soon as the last word fell from my lips, I heard a tremendous rap on the front door. Praying it would only be the mail man, my expectations flutter quickly away Hi! How 'ya doin'? My boyfriend stood grinning before me. by Krista Miller Michael Kaishcr Kinsey Kaichka Megan Kelly Rob Kent Melanie Kerkhof Craig Kessler Norma Kim Kui' i rd1 Juniors Sandy Lcquire Annette Limbach Gloria Lipscomb Robin Lockherd Tom Lowe Lisa Lykins Tami Lykins Coleen Mahoney Derek Mantyla Amy Marsh Nancy Martin Tracy Martin Mara Marlines Christina Martinez Dustin McCollough Tracy McCracken Matt McCunc Susan McCurdy Shannon McDonald Cindy McFall Lisa McKale Wobbling feet It began around toddler age, our wobbling feet and chubby legs finally learned that rug bums on our stomachs weren’t necessary. Walking to grab Baby Alive or G.I. Joe sitting across the room or to respond to Aunt Nancy’s come see Auntie proved to be easier than crawling. As a toddler, walking took practice; grasping chairs to pull up, a helpful companion tugging at your hands and arms, and the many boo boo's caused by falling. (The most common boom on the bottom.) After this rigorous training was over, walking became not only handy, but more of a habit than a task. As years passed, walking was a cinch compared to junior high math. We laughed as we saw other babies begin the new era of walking. Little did we realize that we would view walking in an entirely new light. This new light was in high school. The first horrifying moment in high school was tripping in front of the commons. As books go hurtling through the air, your body plunges forward, and you lead to embarrassments involuntarily exclaim uh , laughter echoes in the commons and through the hallway while fingers point at you. After this incident, routarounds to classes are schemed to avoid walking near the commons. Almost as terrible are resource accidents. While strolling to science resource, one foot entangles with the other. Stumbling down the resource hall you see giggling, jiggling bodies on the sidelines. Your face begins to match your bright red sweater as you exclaim to the laughing crowd, It must be the shoes. The worst pan of this situation is having to face the same people while walking back. Another unpredictable and unavoidable walking humiliation is stair stepping. This is when you are climbing up a crowded stairway and accidentally step on the persons feet in front of you. As you mumble an apology, they moan and groan while slipping their heel back into their shoe. Then there is stair stopping. This is when you are trotting down the stairs, trip, and begin to roll down the stairs. This causes a domino effect; you bump the person in front of you, they bump the person in front of them, until finally you see the one who was at the end of the stairs tumbling to the floor. Cafe-crash is another dreaded walking embarrassment. This occurs when your foot entangles with a pulled out chair, your tray crashes to the floor, and your food decides to join it As you begin crying for help, everyone that seemed to be engaged in eating stands up at their tables and applauds the fine performance. The worst part of cafe-crash is you're stuck with floor leftovers for a hearty lunch. These are only a few of the many serious, but comical walking ways that we face during a school day. After realizing these routes cannot always be avoided, we grab a friend hoping that maybe if we're talking our body will be too busy to blunder. by Heather Sparkman 132 Juniors 'l Q M cK Tom Shields James Shipp Scott Simmons Steve Small Amy Smith Kimberly Smith Shawn Smith Mc K'S mi Juniors 133 Tim Sorrells Jolinda Spurlin Jill Stachc Jeff Stephens Angela Stewart Robert Stewart Matt Stouder Tim Stouder Sonya Sullivan Jeff Taylor Leslie Taylor Pat Taylor Jan Tcllman Manisha Thakor Kim Thompson Leslie Tindcll Keith Tobias Todd Trautman Theophilus Tucker Kenny Turner Lisa Turpin Lisa Tuttle James Vincent Mike Wagner Wendy Wagner Angie Walker Jeanette Wallace Missy Ward Steve Warren Karen Watkins Dawn Wells Jody Wcndcl Scott Westermcier Ron Wcthcrald Renea Whipker Staci Whipker Tricia Whipker Jason White Tanya Whited Kristin Whittington David Wilkerson Karin Wilking Jason Williams Brad Willy Dan Willey Kelly Wilson Gavin Wilson Michael Wiltsey Trent Wrirth Jerry Wischmcier Crystal Wooten Shari Yclcy Staci York Laura Young Melissa Yu Jane Ziclcniuk Scott Kelsey 134 JuniorsJSor-Kel Tammy Abner Brenda Adams Mike Alexander Clifton Anderson Shannon Armstrong Cory Arnholt Mark Ashcroft Angela Baker Jeff Baker Patrick Barker Derek Barkes Andrew Barksdale Paula Barrett Tony Bates Stephanie Battin Mandy Bell Michelle Bell Steven Bennett Daphne Bibic Tracy Bingham Randall Bird Karen Birge Jeana Blondcll Stacey Bloom Paul Bond Todd Bonebrake Trent Bonebrake Kevin Borgman — AbrbBorj Sophomores Professor offers SAT tips the very end of Friday Night Videos, and he ate cold leftover pizza for breakfast. Booker's combined SAT scores totaled 50. Booker steps back into place. Professor Strait turns off the projector and turns on the lights. Now, students enough of what col to do. You should do the following things. First, do mental exercises to prepare yourself. Imagine yourself doing jumping jacks or push ups. But not too many, you will tire yourself. Second, get plenty of rest and eat vitamin C pills for breakfast. Finally, keep up a postive mental attitude-do not fall into the trap that Booker and others fell into. Thank you for your attention.” As the date of the SAT test draws near, many students begin to turn pale in the face and get shaky in the knees. Everyone is aware of the importance of this test. Some students have expressed a desire to learn more about how to take the SAT, but were unable to attend the class given by the school. To aid such stu- dents,the prep course taught by Professor Situp Strait is already in progress. Professor Strait turns out the lights and starts the projector. On the screen we see a large colorful wheel spinning, with SAT written in its center. From the background, voices say Wheel of Fortune! . The wheel disappears and we see a studio. Pat Sajak walks over to the contestants, microphone in hand, and the lovely Vanna White takes her place by the letter board. First SAT question,” Sajak says, is from the verbal section. What is the opposite of dark? You spin, Fred. Fred spins, and the wheel stops on ”103 degree temperature-get sick while taking test. With a disap- pointed smile, Fred leaves the studio. Filmstrip 2, Professor Strait tells the class, is a study of a students who failed the SAT test. He switches on the projector and we see a desolate students standing in front of a black back- ground.

You probably have someone else you’d rather go with. She stops, her eyes bulge out, and her mouth hangs open as she suprisingly thinks, What? What did you say? Oh please, say it again. Pinch me.

While most people still sleep in their warm homes, a single car turns onto a dirt lane and stops at a bam. The car door slamming and barely recognizable footsteps disturb the silence that rules the winter morning world. Most people would cringe at the thought of waking early on cold Saturday mornings, but senior Kristy Bartes, who plans to breed and train horses as a career, must keep her English riding horses healthy. Horses have long been the love of Kristy. I've been interested in horses ever since I can remember. I think my interest in horses is inborn. . . I’ve always loved horses. They make life interesting because you can never be sure of what they will do next, she said. Kristy spends many hours working with her horses, but the amount depends on several factors. The amount of time I spend on my horse depends on the time of year and whether I am actively showing or not. Right now. . . 1 only have to do general grooming and feeding which takes about 30 minutes a day. When I'm riding I keep my horse inside and spend about three hours a day with it. Though she has been showing competitively for only one year and has no formal training, her hard work has paid off. I've placed first in a few area shows and received Reserve Champion at the local 4H show in English pleasure, which qualified me for the state fair. I also won third individual and first team member at the area judging contest, Bartes said. Kristy said she spends about $60 a month, some of which is profit from selling trained horses, for hay, feed, veterinary expenses, and farrier fees. This does not include other expenses, though. $800 will buy you a decent horse. The real money comes in when you start riding and showing. A saddle and bridle will cost from $500 - 750, and riding gear can go as high as $300, Bartes said. I do plan to make a career out of my equestrian interests. I plan to attend William Woods College which has a four year equine studies program. I will study breeding, training, and equitation (riding). Then I hope to get a job from there. Training horses is not as safe and easy as it sounds. Working with horses can be very dangerous, because you never know what they will do next and they frighten very easily. So far though I've been very lucky and have kept my injuries minor - broken toes and feet, a few good bruises, and nerve damage in my arm. I've never gotten hurt falling off, though. But that’s not to say I haven't fallen off. by Tod Smith Richard Jcffarcs Troy Jewell Robert Johnson Teresa Johnson Jerome Johnson-Bey Todd Jones Aaron Jones-Bey Aaron Joslin Eric Kchl Amy Keller Kathy Kelly Andy Kendrick Marc Killian Rhonda King Jenni Kinman Stephanie Kinman David Knops Chris Knotts Robin Krool Traci Kuppler Alison I.arson Curt Lawhorn Candy Leach Jimmy Lee Mike Leggett Amy Leonard lA'if-Jar Sophumurr Keith Lentz Jennifer Lcttcllcir Chris Lewis Mike Lewis Jim Line Gwen Lipscomb Thomas Lloyd Leslie Lockhart Jason Jouden Chris Lowe Chris Lowell Darren Lucas Kim Lucas Jenny Luz.ius Lori Lykins Matt Lykins Tina Lynch Tim Malan Carrie Malcom Kelly Malcom Robert Maple Rhonda Marsh Dennis Marshall June Martin Michele Martin Shanna Martin John Martoccia Angie Maullcr Andy Mayoras Billy McClintock Tracy McCreary Bryan McFarland James McQueary Aaron McQueen Glen McQueen Dusty Medares Max Mensendiek l.isa Merideth Pat Moffait Goldie Moody Billy Moore Cathy Morrison nzzr Angie Moss David Mullis Jennifer Myers Kathleen Ncad Steve Nelson Cassandra Newby Michelle New land Alicia Newton Becky Nickoll Aaron Otte Terry Otte Kimberly Overshine Chris Owen Kevin Owen Todd Owens Amy Pate Sloan Patterson Melissa Pedigo Amy Perkins Trent Perry Christie Peters Day prefers jazz tempo Everyone has a hobby they enjoy doing more than anything else. Sophomore Jason Day enjoys playing the tenor saxophone. In the seventh grade. Day wanted to play either percussion or tenor sax, and percussion was filled up. I started playing the sax four years ago, and I really enjoy it, Day said. Day participates in symphonic and jazz band as well as marching band. He enjoys playing jazz music the best because of the up-beat tempo. Marching band is my favorite, though, because there is more competition. We get to travel to different places. It's more fun than playing for an audience without any competition, Day said. Lisa Meek, Jason's mother, said one problem with having him in band is that sometimes she has a problem getting him there because there won't be anybody home to take him. He enjoys playing and he does well. so I make an effort to get him to practice, she said. Day ends up taking rides from friends a lot of the time because nobody will be home. I've had to ride my bike a few times, Day said. With every disadvantage comes an advantage, though. An academic advantage might be to bring your grade point average up. Band is an easy A, and good grades mean a higher average, Day pointed out. Another advantage is that band increases one’s music appreciation. Some disadvantages are that band takes away a lot of free time. He never has any time at home because he is always at band. In the summer and fall, it is marching band, and in the winter it's symphonic and jazz band, Meek said Another disadvantage might be trying to find time for other homework. But Day manages to do well if he tries. Being in band isn't all play and no work, though. Practicing for five or six hours a week while learning new music is hard and takes a lot of dedication. I practice more before I learn the music so I can memorize it. It's been four years, and I haven’t lost interest yet, Day said. by Kristen Bucklew Heather Peters Leann Potter Adam Preston Mike Proffitt Derek Ransom Elmer Regan Don Retlig Brian Rice Jason Rice Michelle Richards Tim Richards Nick Rittcrman Gale Robbins Brian Robertson Leslie Rodgers Glenn Roesslcr Jennifer Rogers Kristin Rungc Joseph Sage - John Seyerlc Amy Sharpe Phillip Shaw David Shepherd Tony Simpson Abe Skinner Lisa Skinner kshbk ; .aesuam Chris Smith Dean Smith Lisa Smith Lora Smith Michelle Smith Stephanie Smith Lorie Snyder Ron Snyder Janette Somers Kim Spangler Curtis Spaugh Curt Spurgeon Tanjanna Spurlin Andy Stackhouse Chris Stahl Shawn Starkey Cara Steinkamp Matt Sleinwcdel Violet Stephens Amy Stewart Harold Stott Stephanie Stotts Jon Sturgill Sally Sullivan Brian Swcany Lisa Tarry Craig Taylor Sue Tckulvc Kristie Tempest Randall Tempest Angela Temple Christina Tcrtocha David Thomas Tim Thomas Chad Thompson Kimberly Thompson Kris Thompson Wendy Tice Jeff Tobias Troy Todd Yen Tran Malt Trees Faith Trobaugh Brad Turnbow Jeff Turner Sandy Turpin Chris Tuttle Bob Uphaus Daniel Valentine Brian Vance Marcic Vandergriff Belinda Vasqucz Christine Vcrcb Chris Voss Shelley Walp Dawn Wang 142 Sophomorcs Sey-Wan Coleman’s skating gains state acclaim Competitive figure skater Becky Coleman often spends her free time gliding along the ice. Skating for more than three years, Coleman, freshman, shows much promise by ranking fifth out of eight people in the Indiana State Competition in Carmel. Feeling that skating cramped her social life, Coleman quit after her first three years. Two years later, she returned to ice skating because she missed it. Coleman felt she wasn't improving much at first but she later stated I am a fast learner. I've learned some new jumps and I'm really happy with myself. Coleman enjoys the thrill of competition and loves meeting new people; she has found skating contests satisfy both. Great time and effort are put into each routine; music, costumes, and the routine itself must be determined. Coleman selects her own music, which is edited for time by her coach, Jan Jemigan. She also chooses her own costumes from sales of costumes from previous skating competitions. As for the routine, Coleman may contribute her own footwork but required jumps for each skating level make up most of it. Coleman looks up to professional skaters such as Dorothy Hamil and Tiffany Chin. She enjoys watching them and feels they motivate her to skate. Her parents also motivate her, Coleman said. They tell me to do my best but they don't really expect too much from me. Skating has helped Coleman gain self-confidence, but she stated, I haven't had a chance to prove it to myself yet. Her father agrees that she has benefitted from skating. He said, Skating develops Becky both physically and mentally. by Susan Brackney Kevin Wanner Chris Walters Libby Webster Michelle Weddle Wendy Weller Chuck Wells Chris Western Darin Wettschurack Lori Whcatly Julie Whipkcr Kim White Tvffanie White Mark Wilcox Angela Wilkcrson Faith Ann Wilkerson Amy Williams Melinda Williams Gena Wilson Louis Wischmeier Stephanie Waifc Daren W'rav Cheng Yu Brian Zciglcr Laura Zeiglcr Mattew Zciglcr ttu ttrZei SophoniortS 143 144 Tammy Adams Cathy Aldrige Becky Alka Cameron Alsup Troy Alvey Travis Ames Vanessa Anderson Sherri Arthur Samantha Ayres Angela Baker Dennis Baker Mark Baker Christopher Baldwin Jcanna Baldwin Bradley Ballard Susan Bannister Kenny Barnett Michelle Barnhill Keri Bartcs Scott Baxter Misty Bay Coffman assists with health needs With unexpected acci- dents, cuts, bruises, illness, or even needing some aspirin, students rely on the school nurse for assistance. Kay (Coffman finished her nurse's training 25 years ago. She was the school nurse at Central Junior High for nine years and has been at East High School for seven years. Coffman feels her two main jobs as a nurse include taking care of first-aid problems and serving as a resource person. She must decide if students should stay at school, go home, or see a doctor. She also assists with the Financial Aid Form and visual treatment. Coffman also earned a B.S. in psychology. She counsels students with medical problems and personal problems as well. I feel that the students do not perceive the job of the nurse. I am very busy throughout each school day, Coffman said. Approximately 25 students per day have a valid illness. Students however, try bizarre things to be sent home. One boy said if I would not let him leave Friday at noon for a fishing trip he would throw up and he did, Coffman said. There are also reverse situations when students need to go home but want to stay at school. One student had a compound C fracture in his arm. His bones were sticking out and his mother wanted him to stay at school , Coffman said. All medication should be taken at the nurse's office. Student's needing aspirin or other over the counter drugs must have a note from the parents. The note verifies the student's need for medication. To take prescriptions, students must have parental permission and a form signed by their doctor. Few students actually take medicine at the nurse's office. Students generally take medication on their own. The set up of the nurse's facilities makes it difficult for Coffman to control the comings and goings of students. The location of Coffman's office blocks her view of the treatment room and restrooms. Coffman also expressed a want for a computer to record the immunization report. Coffman said the main illnesses this school year are colds, flus, and eye infections. She suggests plenty of rest, regular treatment and Vitamin C to fight illness. by Mande Moon Nurse Kay Coffman regularly sees hun- dreds of students during a month with problems from upset stomachs to cuts and brusics. Collman takes sophomore Gena Wilson's blood pressure.

At sixteen, he has shoplifted more than 150 times, having been caught only twice. The first time he was caught was four years ago. He was trying to steal a toy from Target. They told me that they were going to 'have' to call my parents. I told them that we didn't have phone and they fell for it. He is not alone. Shoplift-ing happens everyday in Columbus. Shoplifters are all ages and both sexes, not just teenagers. They take anything: records, clothing, and even toys. It happens all the time. He soon outgrew stealing toys,however,and moved on to bigger and better things. A friend and I went to Hills to get parts for our bikes. I took mine first,and went out to the curb to wait for my friend. He didn't come out. This woman that I knew worked for Hills came out instead. If I wanted to, I probably could have gotten away. I guess I was too scared to move. The employee told him to open his coat. When he did she saw the parts he had stolen. This time, the police were called. They wrote up a formal report, but they didn't take me to the station because I had my bike with me. His parents grounded him for six months. Three weeks later, they forgot about it, but that made no difference to him. He ignored the reprimands and went back to stealing. The last time he stole anything was a little over three months ago. He had been using drugs for a while, and had finally gotten off of them. When I quit doing drugs I realized what I was doing to myself and stopped shoplifting. He offered advice to anyone thinking of shop-lifting. Don’t... do it! by Keven Greenlee If you are taken to court on a shoplifting charge, chances are that you are guilty. You have probably been caught in the act by one of the store's security men. You are guilty. What is going to hap-pen to you? In most instances a with- holding judgment is issued, which means that I withhold judgment for a year. In that year, the shoplifter has to perform 40 hours of com- munity service and pay a $25 fee. If those conditions are met the case is dismissed at the end of the year, Judge Tim Grogg said. That method seems to work. The biggest deterrant to shoplifting is prosecution, Fran Lucas, Big and Small Lots manager, said. It isn’t costly, except for time and energy, and since shoplifting often leads to bigger crimes, we may be doing someone else a favor in the long run. Some stores do not prosecute, however. We give the shoplifter a warning and tell him not to come back, Bill Eikenberry, Music Box employee, said. Shop-lifting has gone down here the last few years, though not for lack of trying. We’ve hired two security people. Everyone here is security, Kerry Kendall of Hook's Eastbrook said. Ev-dently, that is not good enough. We find empty boxes all over the store. It has to be shoplifters. by Kevin Greenlee Stcfanic Holley Scott Hollingcr Steven Hooscr Tina Houchcns Leah Howe Richie Howell Melissa Hudson Candice Hunter Dan Hu ft) Rhonda Jacobs Bobby Jeffries Randy Jessie Amy Jines Donna Johnson Jason Johnson Steven Kakoczki Todd Kessler Fred Kincer Jason King Kami Kingcn Angela Kinman Charlie Kinman Doug Kirk Mike Kinscl Danny Klinger Hol-Klif Fresh men 14 7 Candidates’ youngsters help with campaign Home life can be rocked by several factors such as debt, a death, or unemployment; however, campaigning for office can also stretch a family’s unity. Parents running for office are often out of the house as much as, or more than, they are in. My mother has knocked on about 7,000 doors since June campaigning started, said Todd Trautman whose mother, Susanne Trautman, is the Democratic candidate for County Judge. I sometimes wish she was home more often, but I realize she must campaign, and I am used to it by now, Trautman said. Campaigning mothers also create extra jobs around the house for their children. Freshman Stephanie Corbin, whose mother June Corbin is running for County Treasurer on the Republican ticket, said, With my mother being gone so often, I have had to cook dinner and clean the house more often than I am used to. State offices demand a parent s time more than county because the entire state must be blanketed. Senior Sarah DeVore, whose mother Republican Ann DeVore is running for State Auditor, said, My mother usually never gets a day off from her campaigning because she has to cover the entire state. I cannot remember the last time we had supper together. Sometimes the children are out helping the parent candidate campaign. The children put in many hours of their social, academic, and personal lives help mom or dad. I have had to door knock all over the county, almost thousands of houses, Corbin said. Door knocking is not the only campaigning on the agenda of candidate's children. Fish fires, parades and numerous parties must also be attended. Sometimes the numerous parties are attended by well known and powerful people. I have met people like Senators Quayle and Lugar, Governor Orr„ Secretary of State Ed Simcox and Mayor Hudnut, DeVore said. A parent s political life can also have an effect on their children's future. I have considered going not politics because I like working with people and the community. Corbin said. DeVore also has political aspirations. Politics are interesting and I would like to go into politics after college. My mother’s career has taught me a lot. by Eric Johnson II____________________________________ Eric Johnson Whether of voting age or not. students helped a number of candidates who sought local and state offices.

Everyone turns to look at the new arrival, either anxiously awaiting a phone message or dreading a pass to see the dean. The runner delivers the fated slip of paper, then turns and exits the room; mission accomplished. Few know about these student aides who sacrifice their unscheduled time in the guidance office or library helping the counselors, deans or librarians. Office helpers have the responsibility of taking care of busy work and paperwork around the office, which the counselors need to have completed. This work would take away valuable time from the counselors' other duties, which cannot be delivered by students. This experience provides the students with a learning of office procedures and basic secretarial skills. The students are often surprised by the workings of the office, and how much must be done in order for the school to function properly, Bailey, guidance secretary, said. Reed, librarian, testifies to the importance of the student library aides to the library. The students' assistance helps the library to run efficiently. The mods they spend here allow me to complete my duties more efficiently and thoroughly, Reed said. Student library aides have the responsibility of checking out books, shelving magazines and books, as well as other jobs which might take the librarian away from the desk. Library aides, in addition to discovering the many resources of the library and meeting people, receive a quarter credit for their time spent in the library. I learn the skills of organization, file materials, and learn how to get along with people better, Robert Maple, sophomore, student library aide, said. From these experiences students also learn the importance of responsibility and time management. Students working as aides leam the importance of budgeting their time wisely. Working in the office has shown me that when 1 get out of high school and college, I will have many responsibilities, and I will need much self-discipline, Matlock continued. In addition to learning about responsibility, time management and self-discipline, students gain knowledge of the importance of communicating with people. This is an excellent opportunity to learn to help others, and I enjoy working with people, Stephani Broadwater, senior, office runner, said. by Kinsey Kalchka 150 Fre) hmen Rob-Ste Samuel Wheeler Jarred Whipker Ray Whipker April W hitchurch April Whitis Elizabeth W hittington Tvrone Williams Jody Wilson Rick Wilson Shawn Wilson Monica Wirth Rob Woodruff Marla Woods John Wright Tiffany Wright Gina Yclcy Shalan Young Jennifer Youngblood Melanie Younger Michelle Zcltcrbcrg Ste-y.fi Freshmen 151 Faculty Frank Hughes, Science Department Head, instructs advanced biology large group.

Everything is so new and different here. I want to experience and learn everything I can, Xihui Wang, East Chinese teacher, said. After teaching for one and a half years in China, the 28-year- old Wang worked for the Educational Research Science Office until coming over through the AFS Visiting Teachers' Program. I am here to learn as much as possible about the American educational and social system so that I may bring back the good points to China, Wang explained in clear, correct English as he glanced down at the Chinese and American flags pinned on the lapel of his light gray business suit. By the time he returns, his knowledge of the American educational system will rival that of many who have lived here their entire life. His duties include teaching the Chinese language in his own class and teaching Chinese culture and history in social studies and English classes. The independence of teachers and students here surprised Wang. In China, the government chooses course material and teachers lecture on the material with little student input. Here students do much more on their own. I am impressed by the way they form their own groups for volunteer work, to take trips, to make money. In fact, I would like to work to make money myself, because I am only being paid a living allowance. A teacher from a Com- munist country supporting free enterprise ideas? Wang just grins. It is not the first time he has been teased about political differences. The other day I went down to Mr. Nelson's [North principal] office. Just as the secretary was ready to snap the picture, he grabbed me around the neck. Wang laughs aloud as he finishes his story. I looked up at him and told him, 'Oh, look what we have here-a democrat trying to choke a Communist.' Typical Wang, for sure. He is here to learn, but he loves a good time just as much as the next guy, even if that guy is a democrat. If I can joke with people, I feel like I fit in and am becom- ing more Americanized. Actually, Wang enjoys anything that makes him feel more Americanized. He recendy received his learner's permit, so that he can learn to drive an American necessity--the auto- mobile. In China, only the rich have private cars and those who do have chauffeurs, so few people know how to drive, according to Wang. His driver’s license will be quite a surprise to his wife when he returns next summer. She attends the University of Peking where Wang himself graduated. I do miss her, but in China attending a university is a great honor, so we feel it is worth it to be temporarily separated, he said with pride. by Jeff Smith Linda Morgan Counselor Ann Morris Student Teacher Kenneth Murphs English 'N allace Murras Drivers Ed. Karen Sading Home Ec. SADD Sponsor Roger Reed It was the girls' regional basketball final, and the two teams had battled to within four points by intermission. Roger Reed said the game was well played and hotly contested. The girls were pretty good, said Columbus East's veteran varsity boys' coach. It was a championship, and the two teams that were playing knew what they were doing. I was expecting a great finish. What he got was a surprise. Halftime highlights? Hardly. The best player on one team was 13 (years old) and pretty good, Reed continued. But at half she gets mad and refuses to play. She just wouldn't play. I looked around and the police came in, handcuffed her and took her away. I had to ask what would happen to her. I was told she'd spend five or six days in jail. Reed found out first hand that Somalians take their basketball seriously. His one- month trip to Africa in July- sponsored by Sport For Understanding, and International Sports Exchange Program—left him with plenty of memories. Really, I felt like I learned more than I gave, said Reed, who taught basketball in Zimbabwe and visited Kenya before helping with the Somalian National team. I learned about myself. Sometimes we think only about our own little world. I'm more tolerant now. I'm positive it will help in the classroom and on the basketball court. All seriousness aside, Reed brings home some wild tales. And while he said the quality of basketball was not near that played in the United States, he found it intriguing.

The Icemen won both the Hoo- sier High School League and the year-end League playoffs. The league record was 9-1. Playing in the Stale AAA Tournament, the Icemen earned a 5th place finish after losing their opening game to a weaker Fort Wayne Northrup team. Columbus then beat Carmel and South Bend Clay for the 5th place finish. Other major high- lights of the season were runner-up in both the Terry Weinland Thanksgiving Tournament at Miami University and the St. Joe Holiday Tournament in South Bend. Columbus East members of the team are seniors Kevin Bergner - wing; Jeff Geary — wing; Sean Herrbcrg — wing center; David Nelson — goaltender; and Greg Venhaus — defense; junior Derek Mantyla — wing; and sophomores Brian Clark — center; Jade Holt — defense; and Steve Nelson — wing. David Nelson was both a league and state all-star. Kevin Bergner. Brian Clark, and Greg Venhaus were members of the all-scholastic team. The team was very balanced and worked well together. We out scored our opponents 201 to 105, out shot our opponents 1241 to 832 and had fewer penalties 175 to 271. One of the most enjoyed statistics was our record against Carmel, beating them all 5 times we played them; 3-0, 7-4, 3-1, 10-2 and 9-1! The Icemen were also honored by winning the Chris Hahn Award. This is presented by the Columbus Youth Hockey Association to the team demonstrat- ing outstanding sportsmanship — both on and off the ice. Besides playing teams from Fort Wayne, South Bend, and In- dianapolis, the Icemen opponents came from Chicago, St. Louis and Ohio. Three balanced lines made the team a formidable oppo- nent. In addition to the 201 goals, the team had 304 assists, once more indicating how the team played together. This is only the second time in history that the Columbus Icemen won both the league and the league playoffs, and the only team that has gone undefeated against Carmel. The departing seniors capped a long and hard hockey career with an excellent season and wish the future Icemen teams good luck and good checking. by Kevin Bergner Senior Greg Venhaus rounds the corner after retriev- ing an opponents shot.

As the books closed on the final mod of the last day, each student realized a new year would soon begin. As for Spring '87 though, it was over as far as school was concerned. No doubt the year presented a number of challenges from just managing to climb out of bed to drinking coffee while staying up working on a term paper. But spring wasn’t so dreary. Students dashed off to sunny spots for Spring Break. The Variety Show enabled students to show off their talents, and the Prom gave juniors and seniors the experience of a fairytale night. Another event. Graduation, caused seniors to think about decisions they faced. Returning students also had decisions to make, even if it just concerned where to eat lunch. But one thing was for sure- the decisions made in '87 shaped and changed the lives of students. — 190 Closing Malt Fkhcn l ooking cool. The prc-Variety Show carnival attracted many spec- tators. Included in the festivities were a carnival, car show, annual Variety Show, and dance. A variety of groups set up booths for the carni- val. dunking booth, water balloon throw, and cupcake sale. Other ac- tivities included an egg-throw, bingo, and golf. The car show fea- tured prizes for best car. best truck, and best motorcycle.

At the newly organized paper airplane contest, students were judged on design, flight distance, and accuracy. Senior Brian Schocder takes his turn at the starting line. Cettin' mad. The annua!

Matt Heben Closing 191 Right on a personal note... While producing this yearbook, we made memories that will long remain with us. Some include Mr. Niles telling us to clean off our desks; Red Fever and skinny-armed photogs; photographers disappearing from class; spreads not done by mail-in date; and taking long needed breaks by driving to McDonald's before after- school work sessions. Along with these memories, special people have been involved in our efforts who we wish to thank for their contributions; Dan Niles (adviser); John Rhoades (photographer adviser); Phil Allen (commercial photographer); Larry Glaze (yearbook consultant); Susan Adams (computer type-setting); our parents, and to Becky, Molly, Laura, Sloan, Amy, and Tammy (our personal friends who kept us from going insane!). Also a very special thanks to our staff of '87. Despite some hassles we did learn and grow as individuals and as members of a team which came together to produce a quality book. And most importantly, throughout the year we knew not to make decisions out of the blue . Instead we discovered The Right Choice! This is CtM ! After considerable abuse from speakers who pronounced Altis (All-lis) Out- is. Allas, or Albus, the time came to find the true roots of the word for which our yearbook was named Our first attempt, the Oxford English Dictionary, which had never failed the librarian to whom we spoke, failed, finally, through pre- fixes and Latin dictionaries success came. Altis is a feminine derivative of the Latin word ‘Altus“ which means “lofty The Isatin “altus comes from an Indo-European rtx t which means “together and “at this time So putting it all together the main words were “lofty , grow , “together , and at this time . Our conclusion was as follows: Altis-( All-tis) n. meaning a particular year in which a group of people grow together (in a loft?) Oh well, even the best re- searchers don't connect all the lies! ---------1987 (M Staff Co-editors-in-chief...............Angie King Tracy Perkins Business Director.................Tony Campbell Chief Photographer................Dominic Oliverio Student Life Editor...............Becky Schuyler Academics Editor..................Kim Sawyer Sports Editor.....................Kelly Nolting Advertising Editor................Kathy Lake Copy Editor.......................Mary Hou Staffers: Jenni Bell, Nicohl Photographers: Judy Bannister, Birdwell, Susan Brackney, Matt Eichen, Angie Corbett, Robin Kroot, Vikki Huber, Matt Jenkins, Jason Koniezcki, Jennifer Hunter, Amy Hurst Theophilus Tucker Kathleen Kyle, Kelly Mundv, Tod Smith Brian Vance
