 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

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.
