Some choose to believe that East alumni have partied their way through high school, while others see the school as an innovative educational situation to prepare teenagers for college life or the working world. No matter how the school is perceived by the community, only those who are actually a part of it can understand just how unique it is. In other words, to know East High School, one must look beyond the huge, white factory to see the diversity of the people and the experiences within. Judy B«nnuter The senior class shows its spirit during the Christmas convo which ended the Winter Homecoming activities. The seniors won the competition among classes by supporting Mr. and Mrs. Claus, Richie Brown and Jolinda Buchanan. Senior Norma Kim For those in our community to realize and understand just how great East High School really is, they would have to come see for themselves. The great faculty, different curriculum, diversity of students, and even the unique building speak for themselves. Senior Tammie Estes At CEHS, you can express your individuality. You don't have to conform to others' beliefs just to fit in. There are hundreds of opportunities for students at East No matter what you like to do, there's an organization that you can belong to. ft Opening 1 lroughout the second floor are teachers willing to give students a hand with assignments ranging from science to business. Each student is given the opportunity to set his own list of priorities and use the time in resource as he sees fit; a freedom not available in many other Junior Brad Tumbow At East I have learned to be myself and not worry about what other people think. I look at other people as individuals and I would like for them to look at me in the same way.” schools. In addition to schedule flexibility, college level courses are available for those who want to get a head start on further education. Credit for the classes is accepted at many state as well as out of state colleges. Along with academics, various sports and a host of co-curricular activities from the television studio to the drama stage give students an opportunity to excel. In a school of 1500, it would be easy for faces to turn into nothing more than numbers, but individuality and the freedom to be your own person . From any point of view, no matter how they say it, East can be defined as a very unique place. W Senior Julie Gottwalles Going to East has taught me a lot. My values have expanded and my mind has grown. The best thing at East is the preparation I have for my future. College life will have its own place to fit in. 1 feel like I'm really ready to experience the future. Joitnd Bochaoan As a requirement for classes to meet slate mandates on time in class, most classes had resource assignments. Spanish teachers Jim and Rosemary Haro look advantage of the computer lab to give Spanish students a change of pace for lab. 2lOpening Many found that during lunch was a good time to work on homework with friends. Students could be seen in the cafeteria after eating working on various assignments. Freshmen Jonathan Allen and Kathryn Budd work on a biology assignment. Putting the finishing touches on his tempra wash, Chris Harpenau, senior, concentrates on keeping the while paint in the lines. Opening! 3 Gathering in a huddle, varsity basketball players psych each other up before the start of a game. The young team proved through its determination to have a promising future. Enjoying their lunch break before returning to class, students get together with friends to satisfy their hunger and talk about how their day has gone so far. Eating in the cafeteria was an option to going out for those who were cither broke or didn't have a way out Angie Oorbcu 41 Opening Jod Efccnbreno Judy Bausater Relaxing along the sidelines, Pat Taylor, senior, reflects back to an offensive play during a regular season game. Taylor, who played receiver, later went on in the season to be named to All-State. As Mrs. Savage describes her troubled life, the sanatorium guests listen attentively. The Curious Savage was the Performing Arts Department's first production of the year. Giving a puzzling look from the bleachers, Greg Huff, junior, watches the action of the junior varsity game along with Sean Cuttrell, junior. Huff and Cuttrell, along with the other members of the varsity team spent the time before their games watching the junior varsity play. 1 t % V % u n 1 — Along with work comes fun Wobbling with a load of books, students filed into school with thoughts of strenuous work from chemistry to algebra, and from English to home ec. But coming to school was not all work either. Junior Shannon Armstrong said, Lunch is a break from the early morning stress. It gives you time to relax and have fun. Speaking of fun, few could forget the zany Christmas convo. A contest was held between grades 9- 12. Each class nominated one boy and one girl to lead the grades in song and general enthusiasm. The seniors came out winners from a close contest. A convo for educational purposes also took place. In late January, Dr. San Rhine, Educator on the Subject of Human Genetics and prevention of birth defects, made a three hour presentation. But after Christmas ended, everyday concerns once again took over. Science classes enjoyed working in the lab. Curious scientists experimented with poisonous chemicals and animals. U.S. History classes played quiz bowl while studying a chapter over the Civil War. This helped relax the atmosphere and prepare for tests. Special concerns crossed students' minds no matter what the grade. Seniors struggled to beat deadlines for college applications. The career resource center became a busy hangout for undecided upper classmen. Juniors decided when they should take the SAT. They also encounter the task of writing a research paper. Sophomores and freshmen learned to adjust to new routines while planning classes and having fun. Sharing daily experiences each year was the job of friends. Whether getting caught by Mrs. Little for passing notes in English or having Mr. Nay threaten to flunk the class for the semester, friends were always present to laugh and cry with. by Susie Stickles Since I've attendee East, I have learned to be more forward and I am not as shy. Freshman Aimee Eckerote East gives its students a chance to be independent. The style of the school helps the kids get prepared for college. Sophomore Kim Sutton Angie Oorbctt The final touches of construction in the commons were almost completed as carpet-layers unroll the green carpet that would form the e . The carpet was a gift from the 1987 senior class. Students could once again sit comfortably in the commons as the carpet was laid after more than a year without having any. 6lStudenl Life Typical Days Joltnda Buchanan Mixing the paint needed to complete their art projecti, Katina Krepi and Katie Perry, freahmen, use their knowledge of colon. They wort on an individual basil, so creativity plays a major role in their grade. Many students look this class to get performing arts credits needed for the Academic Hooon Diploma. Members of the marching band stand at attention while practicing during summer band camp. The students survived the heat by wearing sunglasses and shorts while playing. Many hours of practice were put in by the members to prepare for upcoming contests held during the school year. Taking a break from the strenuous work of the IU Jouralism Workshop, Senior Nicohl Birdwell shows off her talents on a skateboard. Birdwell was one of several students who attended the summer workshop designed to improve journalism skills. Students stayed in IU dorms, and attended lectures led by advisers from several different states. Angie Oorbett Typical Days Student Life 7 Joltnd Buchanan Looking over a selection of earrings on sale at Paul Harris, Melanie Buck, junior, hunts for a bargain. Whether in Columbus, or in Indianapolis, shopping was a favorite weekend pastime for many. Shopping also allowed students to forget the tensions of school from the past week. Protesting the way the teacher contract was being handled, U.S. History teacher, David Fribley holds a sign staling his feelings. For nearly six weeks, students came to school hearing rumors of a possible teachers' strike. The contract was settled and school returned once again to a normal pace. Qfu Tutfle 8lStudent Life Typical Days Chris Tu Ole One thing I enjoyed about East High School was the ability to get help from teachers outside of class. AB With resource mods, I was v able to go to a specific resource and find help for that Jr .jlm subject You don't find that kind of help in other high schools. Senior Todd Trautman I like the resource time I have because I have the opportunity to get help on my homework. It's nice because there always seems to be a teacher around to help! Junior Angie Hubbell r A While devouring a Dominoe's pizza. Sieve Burns and Jason Corrcll, seniors, and Hauser Senior Jennifer Seim chat about the latest gossip. Many found that if there was not a lot to do in Columbus on weekends, getting together at each others' houses to talk, eat, and watch MTV was just as good as going to Noble Roman's after a ballgame. Members of the varsity football team relax during a time-out. During the Homecoming game the team struggled for a victory, but was defeated by Jeffersonville 15-36. Typical Days Studeni Life 9 A requirement for students in Advanced Biology was to observe the growth of microscopic organisms in a specimen of pond water for four weeks. Throughout that time, each student was responsible for making a notebook of observations. Norma Kim, senior, examines a pipet of pond water as part of the project. Expanding areas of interest and talent were qualities shared by the Humanities classes and the performing arts classes. In September, the groups combined, and attended a jazz convocation. Jeff Brown, senior, Mike Vincent, sophomore, and Kevin Olson, senior, prove their talents lie beyond playing traditional instruments by forming a trio with kazoos. Joimda Buchaun MI like that there aren't cliques. You can talk to everyone without feeling stupid about it. East also helps kids get better prepared for college. The teachers go out of their way to bring us a better education. They put a considerable amount of time into helping students achieve their academic potential. Freshman Josh Kroot JohmU Buchaun 101 Student Life Typical Days Joiinda Buchanan Eating lunch off campus brought many a nice break from the everyday events at school. Chip Brown, junior, Eric Hehman, sophomore, and John Brewer, junior, enjoy lunch at Burger King. As well as being popular for lunch, Burger King also became a popular weekend hangout and was often crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. Instead of Parent-Switch Day, parents were given an opportunity to become more acquainted with the school and faculty during Open House. Various classes and organizations had displays or activities planned for the parents. Freshman Kerry Utterback gives his mother a brief explanation of what goes on in the science lab. Typical Days I Student Life! 11 Not ready to rise, shine Fresh air rushing past you carrying the smell of Saps doughnuts wakes you in the morning. Gee, it is only one p.m. I have at least two more hours to sleep in. Not quite ready to rise and shine Mom comes running in and flips your shade up, smaackk! Slipping one foot out from under the covers a terrible day is just about to begin. Scampering across the sofa toward the Fish bowl, Puff, the already fat cat, devours Punny the baby goldfish. After that little outburst the worst thing of all, school starts tom morrow. I was ready for the social atmosphere, but not the work, Junior Kerry Forbes replied. Eight a.m., you are standing at your locker. Was my combination 4-15-30 or 15-36-4? I knew the location of my locker, but I didn't know the combination. Eventually that day I had visited the attendance office a total of four times, Deanne Partlow said. After a couple of months classes became routine. Instead of studying your mind was focused on Christmas. Excitement is in the air. Let's get out of here. With exactly 45 minutes to go packs of teenagers piled into the gym. They never have let us have a convo just for fun, Sophomore Heather Rhoades, said. After approximately 75 school days of hard work and deadlines to meet, students were rewarded with a winter homecoming. With warm bodies pressed side by side the convocation began. Over 1500 pairs of eyes focused on the four Mrs. and Sir Causes . White Christmas battled Jingle Bells in a round between the seniors and the underclassman. I'd like to have a convocation like this next year, Sophomore Curtis Streidemeier added. With the new year came the usual resolutions: promising to work harder; making every effort to please mom and dad with higher grades; and resolving to cut out all the junk food in favor of more nutritious fare. While some minds were focused on how to improve the new year, many more were filled with thoughts of Spring Break...only 59 days...Places such as Daytona, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale were home to many for a week in March. By the end of the fourth nine weeks, the halls became filled with zombies wandering from class to class. This was the result of all night study sessions, filled with futile attempts to cram for finals, which normally had very little impact on test scores. Soon, the year had come to a close, and after nine months of work, everyone, including teachers, welcomed the long lazy days of summer once again. by Heather Stern East has given me a chance to meet entirely different groups of people who have shown me different ways to have fun.” Junior Glenda Schurman I like the friendly atmosphere and the opportunites open for advancement that are there for those who want to take advantage of them. Freshman Kristina Giovanini Chra Tunic Each year through the AFS program, many students have the opportunity to study abroad. At an AFS meeting, Caroline Nunez, Carlos Pulley, Wendy Stehouwer, Senior Lisa Tuttle, and Ray LcDalnc discuss studying abroad. 12 Sludenl LifdTypical Days Joiind Buchanan Wind Buchanan Coming back to school after summer vacation required some readjustment for most students. No longer could they sleep until noon and bask in the sun by the pool. The sounds of buzzing alarm clocks, slamming lockers, shouting friends, and ringing bells soon became all too familiar. Working together to solve a difficult problem in physics, Mandy Bell, junior, and Kim Lucas, junior, compare their observations from the lab. Physics classes provided group-oriented activities which allowed students to interact with one another. Bringing some Christmas spirit to school, ESL members Christie Peters, junior, and Norma Kim, senior, decorate the tree in the commons. Candy canes, wrapping paper, ribbons, and cards scattered throughout the school were subtle reminders that vacation was not far away. Jod Eiaenbraun Typical Days Siudent Life! 13 Jotinda Buchanan Strutting their stuff. Seniors Andy Alka, Ted Sabinas, Dennis Pierce, and Jeff Wilson are dressed in thier finest attire to cheer on the senior girls during the annual Powder Puff football game. The game ended with a victory for the juniors. Enthusiastically supporting the Olympians, friends and relatives of Senior Carey Cox show true school spirit. The group, dressed in orange and brown, and waving spirit banners, could be seen at every home basketball game. 14 Studtni Life Typical Days Jolinda Buchanan Included in the traditional Homecoming week activities was a spirit window painting contest. Senior Tracy McCracken concentrates on completeing her entry. The entries, designed to show support for the football team, added color to the cafeteria. Union Station, filled with specialty shops, small resturants, and night clubs, gave students another alternative for weekend fun. Senior Christina Martinez looks over a selection of tote bags and T-shirts. I've learned to cope with my homework better than when I attended Central Middle School. Resource time is useful because teachers are helpful with my studies. Freshman Kerry Utterback ”1 like the open concept you can take as many classes as you want I like the freedom on the resource level and access to teachers at the resource desk. If you need help it’s always there. Sophomore Mihir Patel The Olympian Spirit Marching Band performed during the half-time and pre-game shows at varsity football games. Richie Howell, sophomore, plays a trumpet solo during one of their half-time performances. Typical Days Student Life 15 | Community discovers the positives I Communities develop a variety of ideas about their high schools. East is no exception. The people of Columbus continue to change their perceptions. Despite some negatives, more people are discovering the positives about East. The school colors stink! Who in their right mind would pick orange and brown as their colors? True, East colors are different but they’re supposed to be! Leroy Nelson, East's first principal, appointed committees to think of the school colors, mascot, and publication names. Altis, Oracle, and Olympians are all terms in greek culture or mythology and were appropriate since 1972, the schools opening year, was a year for the Olympics. Nelson wanted something that could not be duplicated, something no other school had. Those kids at East are all hoods and druggies. Remember that big bust in 1987? The whole school must be filled with bums. Yes, East was involved in a drug bust in 1987, but after these arrests, the majority received help for their problems. The guidance department along with the Koala Center provided drug and alcohol rehabilitation for teens. Just as any school across the nation faces problems from drugs to vandalism to poor grades, East makes every effort to solve these problems, not sweep them under the carpet. The school is backward! Just drive to Coovert Street and look at it from the back, it's obvious someone messed up. East does look like it was built backward but it wasn't. The terraces were put behind the school for the purpose of decoration. The commons' doors that open onto the patio look like the main entrance. The entrance into the offices are located there also. But actually, students who need a break gather at the commons and the patio. During the fall this commons area between the mezzanine and ground level received carpeting. The free time at East is just that, free ! Students spend their time goofing off, talking, sleeping, and doing everything but homework in resource. The resource floor could easily be mistaken for a goofoff area, but spend 42 minutes watching students and it becomes obvious that this time is not free . Each class has extra work to do, such as learning packets, labs, and resource assignments, which are to be completed on the students unscheduled time. All of these make it difficult to waste time. There is no purpose for the large and small group sessions, nor the two day schedule. The kids must get confused. East's purpose for the large and small groups is to help acquaint students with college procedure. The lecture rooms give students the opportunity to get a glimpse of the next days subject, while giving teachers a break from preparing class plans for each day. Large groups appeal to teachers because they enable them to watch other teachers and share ideas. Large groups benefit the students in that they are not required to listen to the same teacher each day. The small groups are more student- centered and give them a chance for discussion. At first, students do get confused, but they soon catch on to the way the system runs. . - by Sherri Arthur and Stephanie Smith____ Aiifie Oorbctl Jolinda Buchanan First year arl students worked on a variety of projects to better understand different media and styles. Jason Hill, freshman, concentrates on the details of his tempra wash. Distpbution of the '87 Allis gave students a chance to break the hum drum of summer.

What was the catch...an eight year old was lip syncing to Goldberg's monologue. Loud and obnoxious Jocko on the Energizer battery commercials annoyed watchers with his Oy! Oy! Oy! . Responses were either to turn it off or to plug your ears. Both Demi Moore and Michael J. Fox starred in two outrageous soft drink commercials. Going out of his way Michael J. Fox climbed out of his window into the pouring rain, jumped across cars, and rushed back to his apartment just to get a Pepsi for his good-looking next-door neighbor. Demi Moore went to the ends of the earth also. The Coke Moore was drinking fell out of her window, she crawls along a ledge to retrieve it, then fell down a canopy entrance, and landed next to a gorgeous guy who just happened to be drinking Coke. Always dressed to impress, Spuds Mackenzie, the most famous dog in America, was noted for his surfing, being surrounded by gorgeous girls,and being the best dressed dog in the entire universe. His claim to fame...teeshirts with this lovable dog on the back or the Anheuser-Bush beer label? Some fans were disappointed to learn that the cool dude was actually a girl. The once popular Michael Jackson attempted to make his comeback in September by doing a series of commercials for Pepsi, which premiered during the Grammy Awards. Viewers were not as thrilled with his new bad look. Jackson also tried to promote himself by going on tour for his new album Bad.

People Movies 'Gittchy-goo', the baby comes home In Three Men and a Baby, Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg tried their hands at raising a baby, the result, a very funny and lovable film. Three well- to-do bachelors found themselves with a baby on their doorstep on morning after a wild birthday party. Selleck, Danson, and Guttenberg knew nothing of raising a baby, therefore they got to learn as they went along. A radio disc jockey in Vietnam had many different responsibilities. He had to report the news, tell of upcoming social events, and most importantly, keep the morale of the men and women high. Good Morning Vietnam was based on the true story of a Vietnam disc jockey Adrian Cronauer portrayed by Robin Williams. The movie provided a striking, yet comical, outlook on the Vietnam War. Patrick Swayze and Jennifen Grey kicked up a storm with sexy dance moves in the hit movie Dirty Dancing. The movie takes place at what seems to be a humdrum summer resort where Baby (Grey) and her family are vacationing. She soon discovers a hideaway for teens to develop their own form of dance away from the shocked disapproval of knowing adults. In the process she meets Johnny Castle, (Swayze), a leading dancer at the resort. Grey tries to win his respect by lending his dance partner friend, Penny, money for an abortion. Grey also learns various dance routines with Swayze in order to cover for Penny. Trouble brews when Baby’s father, thinking that Baby is still a little girl, finds out that his money was used for the abortion, and Baby must stand on her own.

Models are chosen not only for looks but Several young women want to pursue a career in modeling. All have some experience either by attending a modeling school or by modeling at area stores. These women include Seniors Angie King and Shari Yeley, Sophomore Nikki Thomas, Seniors Natalie Carr and Angela Stewart. personal evaluation, interviews, and self-interest Each girl gives her own reasons for pursuing interests in modeling. I basically started modeling to learn poise and grace, Senior Angie King said. Others join to gain self-confidence, communication skills, and personal development. Each girl is given a choice how she would like to model. She can focus on close-ups of the facial features or the runway, which portrays the entire body. Instructors are hired to teach the girls the basics of wardrobe, grooming, a proper walk, make-up, and hair. In addition they are taught the fundamentals of communication, speech, and appearance for photo shoots and TV commercials. Age and height do not alter a girl's chance to become a model. Her age can range from seven to fifty years old, and some determination agencies offer a petite elite group for smaller women. Many girls enjoy the experiences they gain from modeling. I enjoy modeling because it is an excuse to let loose and do something I like, Senior Natalie Carr said. Other advantages include the people you meet and the accomplishment of self-confidence. All in all, fun seems to be the most popular experience associated with modeling. Modeling includes its fair share of cost. Twenty classes of training cost me over $1000, Carr replied. Money is just another requirement for modeling. Each of the girls find modeling a valuable experience because it gives them a goal to strive for. They seek to find the best for their inner and outer self, but enjoy themselves at the same time. by Alicia Newton Skipping school is a battle Earlier this morning my alarm buzzed, awakening me. My hand shot out of the comfort of my sheets, and slammed into the clock. I'm not going to school. School reminds me of boot camp-they both stink. With that I shut my eyes and again fell into the comfort of sleep. I was jolted out of my doze by a bright light. Oh no! Spotlights! I slowly opened my eyes to see the image of my mother's face. She wasn't my mother this morning, though-she was the general of the opposing forces. She wanted die impossible- she wanted me to go to school. I shut my eyes and groaned as my mother said Get up, you have school. I'm sick. Sure you are. Get up, the General said as she left the room. I stumbled out of bed toward the kitchen, thinking up a new excuse. I reached the battlefield and took a seat General—uh,Mom—my stomach hurts, I feel hot, and I think I'm gonna’ puke... With weapon ready, the General whipped out a thermometer and shoved it in my mouth. Ah ha! The thermometer, that could be my way out. I ran to the barracks, taking the thermometer out of my mouth and placing it on the lightbulb. I watched the mercury rise . to 100.8 and pulled it off. Perfect. I made my way back to the batdefield. The General walked up to me and pulled the thermometer out of my mouth. She looked at it, looked at me, and felt my head. You are sick. I almost smiled, but caught myself. Go back to bed, Mom said. I slowly crept out of the battlefield, smiling to myself. Again, another war won. by Mark Bowlby Teachers turn to part-time work Marcy wanders the store aisles in desperation, thumbing through clothes racks in search of the perfect outfit for her date with Fred. She covers every aisle at least twice, until after one hour of frenzied shopping she finds what she came for. When Marcy finally goes to the counter to pay for her outfit, she is surprised to learn that the saleslady is also her English teacher. Although Marcy is fictional her teacher's situation is very real. The number of teachers who have part-work in addition to teaching during the day is rising. It is now common to see teachers working at department stores or managing small businesses after the last bell ends the school day. The part-time jobs teachers hold are sometimes creative or unusual. Frank Hughes, head of the science department, spends two nights each week and every other weekend working for the National Guard. A Brigadier General (one star) and assistant division commander of the 38th infantry (Indianapolis), Hughes originally entered the National Guard after the Army because he wanted to continue flying while teaching. While being in the National Guard has helped him relate science to his students, it sometimes conflicts with his teaching time. A lot of times I have to miss school and get a substitute teacher. When I come back, the kids will complain because she didn't teach like I do, Hughes said. Many times a teacher's part-time job consists of what he is most familiar with teaching. Jim Haro, Spanish teacher, instructs swim classes at Southside for adults, while Vic Fields, head of the Television Department, has given classes in speech and public speaking at IUPUI for the last six years. Teachers who get part-time jobs usually have a family to support. I think it's obvious that teachers aren't there for the money — they're there because they enjoy what they do or they like to see kids learn, Hughes said. by Jeni Bell During an Aduli Education swim class at Southside Elementary, Jim Haro encourages his swimmers to do their best. Haro has taught swim classes for twelve years and was once a coach for Southside. Boredom brings about activity Inevitably, everyone experiences boredom at one time or another. Glancing around the room in English class on reading day may be the first lesson in boredom prevention. Someone may be seen counting ceiling tiles and taking a general inventory of the room while others write notes. From experience room 332 has 22 student desks, one teacher desk, two chalk boards, one clock, one trash can, and two posters. Some take the easy inactive way out by taking a 45 minute afternoon nap. An afternoon nap could be quite useful to those who have yet to recover from Christmas break sleeping schedules. One may even use a portion of that noodle like structure inside ones head when boredom hits. Imagine actually thinking at school. I start staring at the wall and shut the teacher out. Pretty soon I start thinking of a song I'd like to hear, Glen McQueen, junior, said. I imagine myself at college. I try to think of what it will be like, Wanda Flaherty, senior, said. With age and responsibility comes the ability to occupy a mind in times of boredom. It's difficult to get bored when you're a teacher. (History classes) don’t have much in class study time. My students will tell you I whistle. I sing to them and talk while they're taking a test, Jim Nay, history teacher, said. I honestly can't think of a time I haven't had papers to grade or a short book or novel to read, Ken Murphy, English teacher, said. Thus we learn the real reason loads of homework are assigned every evening. Perhaps it should be kept in mind that the longer an assignment, the better boredom prevention. The next short essay assignment turned in shall be bound with a cover. by Teresa King Fta turts M ini -mag 21 Students participate in ISTEP At Southside auditorium, H. Dean Evana, State Superintendant, talks about Prime Time, ISTEP, and the Governor's A+ Program. With pencils scratching madly against paper and an occasional groan, East students went through three days of ISTEP testing March 1-3. As part of the Governor's A+ Program, students in grades K-3,6,8,9, and 11 were required to participate in the ISTEP testing program. However, the Bartholomew County School Corporation took this one step further by including sophomores and seniors in the testing process for diagnostic purposes. Called the guts of the A+ program by Dr. Steve Grimes, policy analyst, ISTEP (Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress) is an extended effort to identify what students in Indiana need to know. A four-step process the ISTEP testing program covered basic skills in math and language arts through the CAT (California Achievement Tests), an Indiana-based supplement of this test, a writing sample from each student, and the Cognitive Abilities Tests. Elementary and middle school students failing the tests were required to complete summer school and retake them before passing to the next grade level. However, high school students were only reminded that the ISTEP scores would remain a part of their permanent records and were encouraged to do their best. by Jeni Bell Expressing discontent about the problems between the administration and teachers, Harold Welsh, industrial arts teacher, protests in front of the school. Teachers carried picket signs to help keep the public informed on the contract negotiations. Teachers work toward new contract wt r st Teachers worked without a contract for a month before contract negotiations ended on Sunday, Sept 27. The final negotiation leading to a settlement between the Bartholomew County School Corporation (BCSC) and the Columbus Educators Association (CEA) lasted 40 hours straight. In May of '87 teachers proposed a 12% raise for one year. The School Board offered smaller raises over a period of several years. Throughout the remaining summer months both groups continued talks. Negotiations stopped on Aug. 6, when CEA declared impasse. Richard Rubin, a state-appointed mediator, entered in the talks on Aug. 8. The remainder of the month provided no further settlement between the two. In early September, CEA proposed a two-year increased salary of 9.5% and 7% respectively. BCSC gave its firm offer at 4% for one year. On Sept. 10, the majority of teachers in the corporation said yes to a strike if necessary. This action lead to picketing before school hours to inform the public of negotiation standings. Teachers also picketed several School Board members' homes. Janet Land, an appointed fact-finder, conducted a hearing between the administration and teachers in mid- September. Negotiations resumed on Sept. 24. Land added Gil Weihe as a second mediator, who was added to provide both administration and teachers with a representative for the remainder of the talks. A three year contract was agreed upon on Oct. 6. The first year teachers received a 4% raise. The second called for an additional 6.8% raise and 2 1 2 work days. The third year, 2 1 2 work days will be added and a 7% raise will be given. by Lora Emerson International National •Gorbechev and Reagan met in Washington D.C., where they signed a treaty to eliminate medium range missiles.

E The Curious Savage Audience develops relationship with characters in play Viewers expressed feelings of love and kindness following the first fall production of The Curious Savage as strong identities developed between the characters and the audience. Since the characters represented different personalities ranging from an eccentric old lady to greedy children, there was something to learn about relationships and how the human heart reacts. One of the interesting parts of directing the play was to watch the actors develop the character and their personalities. Not only did the actors have to work on memorization, but they had to learn to get inside their character, Director Ray LeBlanc said. Senior Cori Davis, who played the central role of Mrs. Savage said, After a while I became Mrs. Savage, everywhere I went. I had been changed from a teenager into a retired old lady. Another cast member Senior Alison Peck who played Fairy May, agreed with Davis. I noticed in the past 1 usually played older women, but in this play I was a young, silly, bubbily girl. The more I rehearsed, I would act like her. My friends kept reminding me that I was acting a little dizzier each time they saw me. LeBlanc felt it was a perfect play to begin the year with since it was a good comedy with challenging roles. The play opened with Mrs. Savage, a widower who's deceased husband left her millions of dollars. Her stepchildren, in their efforts to get the money, declared her insane, and commited her to a sanatarium. In the sanatarium, however, the real widow discovered some genuine friends who were interested in her, not her money. For the cast, the preformance presented a few unexpected, embarrassing, moments. Dan Klinger, who played Hannibal, was involved in a serious scene with a violin bow in his hand. He somehow threw it across the stage and it nearly went into the orchestra pit. Everyone was having a hard time keeping a straight face, Senior Jim Frakes said. Even with the excellent performance, the play, presented on three occasions did not attract the audience that the director and the cast had anticipated. I think everyone enjoyed the play. However, there were several people who really missed out on seeing it, Junior Mina Cook said. by Heather Stern The Curious Savage was my first play ever, and I got to meet several new people. It was the first time I ever had to sit down for an hour to get makeup on my face! Sophomore David Britt Savage was great! Since it was my first play, I was nervous.

Sweet Adeline, Give My Regards to Broadway, and Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home set the mood for the ragtime era. Follies 1988 had begun, leading viewers on an excursion through the decades of the twentieth century, from the ragtime of the 1900's to the upbeat rhythms of today. In less than six weeks, more than 100 cast and crew members pulled together a first-time ever three hour show, featuring all facets of the performing arts. The best thing about the show was it gave everyone an opportunity. The dancers and band each had five major numbers, drama was represented in the eight plays, as well as the choir being well represented, Ray LeBlanc,Chair of Department of Performing Arts, said. At the beginning of each decade narrators gave brief overviews of the types of music featured or social ideas that had caused changes in the music. In addition to singing and dancing numbers, an excerpt from a play written during the particular decade was presented Some of these included A Lion in Winter, the story of King Henry VIII and his wife Eleanor who wanted a king for a son, and Crimes of the Heart, the story of three very different sisters facing problems together. With 50 microphone calls, 100 different lighting changes to manage, and an average of four costume changes to each cast member during the show, there was never a dull moment backstage. My biggest concern was that the show ran too long (2 hours, 55min), but the audience stuck with us, we ran two weekends and only lost a few people, Ray LeBlanc, said. The numbers that comprised the show featured many soloists, and the members of Concert Choir, Vocal Jazz, Sugar N' Spice, Clark's Bars, and Reflections, under the direction of Mary Clark. Along with accompanists Clark and Senior Betsy Fowler, additional music for the show was performed by Jazz, Inc. under the direction of Peter Foster. Dance numbers were choreographed by Donna V anKlompenberg. Because of the variety of numbers, scenery was kept to a minimum, and costuming played a major role in setting the scene for various decades. Being backstage during Follies was like walking through time. It was easy to tell what decade we were in because people walked out with different costumes every five minutes. What a madhouse! David Britt, sophomore, said. In many cases students were responsible for providing their own costumes; a task which sent many to attics or second-hand clothing stores. I went lots of places to look for my costumes, my own closet. The Clothes Tree, my grandmother's closet, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, Amy Holmes, junior, said. The nine four-hour technical rehearsals paid off, as Follies received a standing ovation after the Final performance. It really makes all the hard work worth it when the audience gives a standing ovation, Lori Houston, freshman, said. Decades (Follies)was the show that might have shown the audience that there are many talented students in the Department of Performing Arts, Gark said. By Heather Stern and Kim Sawyer I have really enjoyed being in the Follies. It has been a good experience and I have gotten the chance to meet several people. I am looking forward to it next year. Junior Cim Bowman Backstage jokes really flowed, especially between the cast and the band. I dedicated a song to Mike Vincent, a band member. Everyone knew about it ahead of time and completely cracked up! Junior Amy Holmes 26 Performances! Follies r Band and Choir Travels, Competition enhance performance The lights flash and then dim, the theatre is encased in darkness and silence. The curtain opens, the orchestra takes their places, and the director is ready. A tap-tap is heard, then the instruments fill the theatre with the sounds of music. Two hours later the orchestra rises, as the concert has finished without a hitch. This ideal concert was a success but it was hard to comprehend how much work was put into it to successfully pull it off. Many hours of practicing, planning, and much dedication were required from every person involved. However, that hard work, dedication, and determination paid off for East band and choir members who earned trips to Canada and Utah respectively. The band department went to Canada from May 18 to May 22 to participate in the Festivals of Music, an international competition of bands from the United States and Canada. To be invited to the Festival, bands were judged by their past performing experiences and their contest winnings. After Spring Break the groups typically practiced two nights a week and on Saturdays. Raising the money to go took just as much time, but it was a little easier. I have sold so many candy bars that I have lost track, Junior Amy Sharpe said. Band members sold cheese and sausages, candy bars, pizzas, pound cakes, and washed cars to raise money. Each person got a commission for everything they had sold. This money was put into an account so they would earn enough money. For the choir the distinction was especially meaningful since this was a second excursion to Utah. In 1985 East's choir was invited to sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was so impressed with them that they told Director Mary Clark any time she wanted to bring another East choir to sing she could. This brought about the trip, in April, which included 34 choir members. Being able to go to Utah was a once in a life- time experience and I'm glad I was able to go. It took a lot of hard work, but it was worth it, Junior Curt Spurgeon said. While in Utah, choir members participated in the eighth National Choral Festival. The choir stayed and practiced at Brigham Young University. For most, the biggest thrill came from the rehearsal and performance with nearly 130 members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I was a little intimidated by the Choir, but I still sang my heart out. I think 1 was more in awe than anything else, Senior Jim Frakes said. The students worked mostly in class on their numbers, but when we got to Utah they had to work under three different directors. It was a little difficult on them, Clark said. After practicing with the Tabernacle Choir the three choirs had a concert of their own. Clark thought their efforts went very well. by Sherri Arthur yr Canada was the wildest experience I ever had but it was still educational. It took a lot of work, but we had fun. Freshman Kaprecia Pridgen I was a little intimidated by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but I still sang my heart out. Senior Jim Frakes 28 Performances Choir and liand JimPrakcs During their free time the concert choir had a chance to tour Snowbird, a popular ski resort in Utah. Other places they viewed were Robert Redford's ranch, Sundance, and the historic Mormon Temple Square. While in Toronto band members took first in Field Show and Outstanding Guard and Low Brass; fourth overall in Symphonic, first overall in Orchestra, and third overall in Jazz. Some of the senior leadership, under the direction of Peter Foster, included Chris Erfmcicr, Betsy Fowler, Michelle Hudson, Sonya Laedbetter, Matt Howery, Camie Baming, Angie Harris, Trevor Famsley, Amy Smith, Jolinda Buchanan, Heidi Murray, and Casey Cordry.

Choir and BandlPerformances!?� The Variety Show Free-wheelin' night of fun highlighted by rockers, nerds The line stretched into nothingness. Looking back all one could see was a steady stream of people- waiting. Then the moment came when the doors were unlocked and the crowd lurched forward, eager to get inside. The lights began to dim and the sold-out crowd went silent as the curtain opened and the first song played for the Variety Show '88- Catch the Wave! Frenzied laughter and scattered panic echoed from the performers who madly dashed to and fro, anxious for their big moment on stage. I wasn't really nervous. It was more a feeling of anxiety, Junior Greg Coy said. Nerves were shot, but still the show went on as Juniors Coy, Kirt Fiesbeck, Paul Bond, and Curtis Spaugh opened the show with their version of Play Guitar by John Cougar Mellencamp. Sitting on the edge of their seats and singing along, the roaring crowd anxiously awaited each up and coming act Admission into the show was $2.00 per person. Afterwards students danced in the school cafeteria to a variety of music. The comical side of the Variety Show brought bellowing laughter as Seniors Jolinda Buchanan, Richie Brown, Jason Correll, Doug Harrison, Randy Robertson, and Jason Moore enthused the crowd with a lip sync to the song Keep Your Hands Off My Nerd. They called their act Beauty and the Geek. Other acts included a dance done by Seniors Wendy Wagner and Julie Brown. Groups that were done live or lip sync included White Snake, Tiffany, and Guns and Roses. Seniors Andy Alka, Ted Sabinas, Clark Cummins, and Erik Branstad let the roaring crowd know that they were back- Back in Black, that is, as they entertained with the hit from AC DC. The crowd was awesome. I couldn't see it but I could sure hear it, Alka said. Acts began by auditioning in front of a few chosen judges. From all of the contestants, the judges chose 18 acts to entertain. The judges included sponsors John and Nancy Kessler, Nate Von Fange, Seniors Joyce Downey and Thuy Nguyen, who also served as the bunny for the show. The dance and the show together drew a crowd of about 820 students and raised $1,330.00 for student council. by Laura Ryan ,J1a r yf There are a lot of live acts that make the Variety Show exciting.

And then she asks me, Do I look alright? And I say, Yes, you look wonderful tonight We go to the party, and everyone turns to see... the beautiful lady who's walking around with me. And then she asks me, Do you feel alright? And I say, Yes, I feel wonderful tonight. I feel wonderful because I see the love shining in your eyes- and the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize how much I love you. My darlin, you were wonderful tonight. The theme for the May 13 Prom was chosen from the song Wonderful Tonight, by Eric Clapton. The Commons was decorated with pink and aqua balloons, which matched publicity posters and carried out the theme. Many literally stopped at no expense to make the night as special as it could be. Weeks before, preparations began when girls journeyed as far as Chicago and Louisville to find the perfect dress, tuxedos were ordered, dinner reservations were made, and many spent time at tanning beds to add bronze color to their prom look. I suppose if you think about it practically, you might find it silly. But the prom is so neat and so special and it's such fun preparing for it, why not? Penny Patterson, mother of Junior Sloan Patterson, said. Another expense girls encountered was getting their hair done. Although it was not possible to leave school early without some penalty, many raced out immediately afterschool to hair and tanning appointments. I decided to have my hair done because I wanted something different since it was a special occasion, Laura Anthers, senior, said. Norma Kim was selected as Prom queen along with Aaron Morrow as king, and were joined by a court consisting of Doug Bennett, Steve Norman, Matt Powell, Pat Taylor, Janae Franke, D.D. Jump, Angie Nichols, and Leslie Tindell. Being on the court was exciting and then when I was named queen, I was even more surprised. It was a lot of fun and helped to make my senior year even more memorable, Kim said. Patterson believed the reason the evening was so special was contributed by a combination of it being one's first formal party as well as a night out with no curfew. However, most students tended to attribute it to getting dressed up and spending it with that special someone. Junior Amy Perkins said, It's a chance to see everyone dressed up while being with someone you care about. I don’t think I'll ever forget it. Entertainment at the Prom consisted of vocals by Seniors Brett Denney and Kim Howard, and for the second year the Fritz Turner Band. The fun of After-prom was due greatly to the work of many parents and community members. Food, games, music, and many prizes helped to make it a hit Junior Becky Nickoll said, It was a lot of fun because there was so much going on. The best part, though, was being there and seeing all my friends. Through all the planning, expenses, and excitement from a long day, everyone agreed on one thing-it was a Wonderful night followed by a Fantastic Future. by Michelle Newland Prom was a break from the normal. It was a chance to splurge and have your boyfriend spend a lot of money on you. Junior Colleen Deters I think Prom is a special occasion every junior and senior should enjoy. It's an opportunity to have a great time with your friends. Senior Aaron Morrow Rti Allen Afler-prom held many memorable moments.

Although many had originally planned on graduating May 29th, the senior class had to wait another week to turn their tassels on the sunny and hot afternoon of Sunday, June 5th. As family and friends found seats in the gym, graduates stood outside and used the time before the processional to take pictures and talk with friends as this was their last time to be all together. Manisha Thakor, valedictorian, and Melissa Yu, salutatorian, presented the audience and graduates with speeches about the future and the potential of the Class of '88. Principal Phil Houston presented the class to Dr. Ralph Lieber, Superintendent of Schools, who congratulated each student before he or she filed into the tunnel to receive the actual diplomas.

Kevin Farris and Karen Watkins, class officers, presented the senior gift to Houston. The gift consisted of two parts. The first being a $300 donation to the library for computer software to be used by the students; and the second, a sign designating the office area for faculty and guests to the school. Graduates were then asked to rise as James Shipp, class officer, lead them in the traditional turning of the tassels . Shipp left the 1988 East alumni with the great Casey Cassum quote, Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Following commencement, many returned home to Open Houses and parties to celebrate their accomplishments with friends and relatives. As each student took with them the memories made throughout their four years of high school, they also took with them the thought of the future and all the opportunities lying ahead of them.

More challenging courses along with stricter standards for grading and homework prepared every student for college or a specialized career. These programs along with a teaching staff of state and nationally recognized instructors helped several students become National Merit Scholars and more become recipients of scholarships totaling nearly $100 thousand. Others earned recognition in writing, speech, math, and music contests. With these accomplishments the word went out in Columbus and throughout Indiana that CEHS delivered academic excellence. denid s In my opinion, the academics at East are actually better than the academics at other schools. Although put down by most in our community, I feel we can stand proud by the results of our academic standing in the state of Indiana. n OJM Protected by goggles and a safety shield.

One major contribution that added to East’s uniqueness came from the number of classes which offered individualized instruction to the students. Individualized instruction made working one on one with each individual student possible, giving them the freedom to work on their own. The art department, television studio, and publications, along with many other classes, offered individualized instruction to the students. Teachers believed this method of teaching was helpful in giving students a chance to make their own discoveries and learn from them. ’’Individual instruction was more of a challenge for students. It gave them an opportunity to work on their own and find things out themselves instead of being told in class 'this is how it is,’ Dale Nowlin, math teacher, said. Students enrolled in individual instruction classes shared views similar to those of the teachers. The majority of students believed that being able to work on their own with teachers around to help when needed was a very beneficial way of teaching. I like it because it makes it easy to get help and then you do better, Chad Co. ch, freshman, said. However there were some students who disagreed with this method of teaching. They reasoned that a lot of time was wasted while waiting for the teacher to finish helping other students. Classes with individual attention take up a lot more time. When the teachers have to work with each student it makes them slower and they can't always get to you when you need them, Mary Beth Gray, sophomore, said. Apart from classes, there were many other ways students could have received individual help. Resource centers, set up specifically for students to work on their own, were seldom seen without teachers prepared and willing to help when needed. Computer and science labs were both available to students who wished to work there on their free time. East is known to have a lot of academic freedom with resource and individual help. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this? I consider my time valuable, so I take every opportunity I can to get help. The only real disadvantage is the people who don't take advantage of this time; and as I see it, that's their own problem. Christy Hobson, Junior I think having resource time is an advantage. It gives students a chance to learn on their own. The disadvantage is having to do learning packets every week on your own time.

Individual Instruction Academics 39 utors offer opportunity to help, to learn continued from page 39 Also, students struggling with grades had the opportunity to ask their guidance counselor for a tutor. The tutor could have been a peer tutor or someone that came to students' homes who worked for a fee. The majority of tutors were fellow students, picked by counselors or teachers, who spent their free mods helping others. I like peer tutoring because it's easier for a student to relate to another student than to a teacher. It gives both students a chance to learn from each other, Angie Baker, sophomore, said. Negative reactions towards tutoring were rare, as other peer tutors also found it enjoyable and worthwhile. Sophomore Lincoln Probst agreed by saying, When I was fust asked to be a tutor I wasn't too crazy about the idea. It turns out that I really enjoyed it. Not only did I get a chance to help others, but I learned a lot too. Whether or not students benefited from classes offering individual instruction is debatable. However, one thing is certain, with all the opportunities for students to get individual help, excuses for not getting work done proved hard 10 come by. by Lori Bloomberg Individual instruction gave students an opportunity to work on their own, instead of being told in class 'this is how it is.'

Goshorn was named the Indiana recipient for the science part of the Presidential Award for the Excellence in Science and Math Teaching for the year of 1985. To receive the award, Goshorn had to go through different series of interviews to be named one of the three finalists to qualify for the award. A little while after the interviews and being named one of the three finalists, I received a letter from 1600, Pennsylvania Avenue, which is the address of the White House. I took a deep breath I opened the letter, and when I read it, I was very overwhelmed that I won the award, Goshorn said. Goshorn went to Washington D.C. for a week where all recipients were gathered for a banquet hosted by President Reagan. Some of the top scientists in the world were there praising the teachers for opening the science field for students.

While most classes made up for the extra time by assigning learning packages, foreign language classes made up the time by scheduling labs. Labs, scheduled on the average of once a week, consisted mostly of taped material, written activities, and textbook assignments. As well as fulfilling the state requirement, teachers felt labs were successful! in improving students listening and speaking capabilities. Russian and German teacher Jerome Baker said, Labs give students new listening and speaking skills by letting them listen to natives and getting away from listening to the teacher. Foreign language labs' weight on a students' overall grade varied from teacher to teacher. However all teachers believed that the penalties for skipping a class were correct in being as severe as those for skipping a class. Teachers also felt that if labs should no longer be required by state law, they would continue scheduling them. I would continue to have labs even though it is different now. It used to be that the day pf the lab there would not be a class and we would be free for individual work, Jim Haro, Spanish teacher, said. As expected, the general opinion made by students on labs varied greatly from that of the teachers'. Lab doesn't teach you anything. You just do worksheets and there are no teachers to help you, 'Shalan Young, sophomore, said. The majority of students also believed scheduled labs occured too often and teachers were more strict with rules concerning lab work than in previous years. Kevin Schroeder, junior, said, The teachers are more strict, I think we should at least be able to talk a little bit. While disagreements continue to linger about the benefits of foreign language labs, there was no doubt that students receive more exposure to their chosen language. by Lori Bloomberg To What Extent Are Foreign Language Labs Beneficial To You? One mod is not a lot of time to put in to learn something so in lab you will have a better understanding of what you are doing in class. Sophomore Angie Baker I can see why the teachers might think that lab is helpful to the students, but personally I think it is a waste of time and effort.

Foreign Language labJAcademicsl45 rt students earn recognition A strong curriculum combined with student ingenuity and creativity made the year a successful one for art teachers Jerry Greene, Phil Miller, and art students. You always like to be able to do more and have students who are successful. We feel we have done well. We are pleased with what we have, Greene said. This student talent matched with two dimensional and three dimensional curriculums, Art 1-2 being predominately 2-D (drawing, painting, printing) and Artcraft being 3-D (plaster, ceramics, batiks), led the art department to several awards and other accomplishments. Many of the students won awards in the Scholastic Art Contest. Sophomore Shawn Starkey and Senior Melissa Yu won Gold Key awards, while Senior Steve Bums, Juniors Libby Webster and Yen Tran, Sophomore Monica Wirth and Freshmen Eric Weaver along with Phil Burbrink all won Honorable Mention. Weaver also won Honorable Mention at the Brown County Art Gallery High School Exhibit for his ink drawing of a duck and its reflection in the water. Art requires a lot of discipline. You have to turn in at least one sketch a week. That does not always appeal to me, but I think I have learned a lot this year, Weaver said. Honorable Mention Awards at the ninth District Congressional Art Show, sponsored by Lee Hamilton, went to Senior Veronica Tackett and Freshmen David Rayburn and Amy Kimbrough. In addition to personal achievements, the art department worked together to raise funds for airbrush equipment The department sold an estimated four hundred items, such as potpourri, porcelain ducks, and cooking ware, to reach their goal of$1500. I think it is always all right to be happy with what you have, but never with what you can be, Miller said. by Susan Brackney What are teachers’ impressions of their students efforts?

Ilf — ome Ec. changes with society When the words Home Economics are mentioned, people usually think about girls in frilly skirts learning how to cook for their husbands. But in these times, all that has changed. Society is changing, both husband and wife are working, sometimes the wife is making more than the man, Donna Fleming, Home Ec. teacher, said. Home Ec. does not just teach students how to cook. Now students can join classes such as Consumer Education, Interpersonal Relations, and Independent Living, which, as Fleming pointed out is not totally girl related. She said, We know boys are scared to take sewing or cooking, but who are the ones who make mega-bucks as chefs or fashion designers? The men. Many Home Ec. classes deal with problems one might face after moving out, such as Independent Living. This class talks about dealing with rising costs, obtaining and using credit, choosing an apartment, and time management Home Ec. also offers classes dealing with child care and development Sophomore Candace Down in said, Child Care and Development has taught me how to treat kids and how to act in front of them. Child Care Services is offered as a short-term nursery school, which allows students to gain experience with young children. Fleming, who describes Home Ec. as a relaxed learning environment said that many of the classes are needed by boys just as much as girls. She said, Many times, the men are Finding themselves taking care of the kids and house while the wife is working and these classes will help them know what to do. by Darren Troutman What can Home Ec. teach you?

Southeast Walking through the door, you experience a feeling of relaxation. Tensions of the day drop away. You're home. But wait— a buzzer sounds and class begins. What is going on? Room A125 felt like home to many. Dubbed The Pub , A125 served as a haven to Altis and Oracle staff members. Along with a place to call their own, senior staff members and department heads had their own desks which served as lockers, work areas, and provided a place to put personal momentos. As with lockers, each desk had a certain personality. IU stickers, old Christmas cards, a Bon Jovi poster, and a Domino s Pizza box, among other things, decorated the desks and walls. Wandering back to the staff lounge, or some might call the 'computer room', one can find yellow couches, modern art, and music coming from a small radio. Once in a while the smell of popcorn even circulates through the room. Unfair advantages? Perhaps it seemed so, but both staffs spent numerous free mods in A125; therefore the Pub became a second home. Senior Monica James said, I enjoy spending my free mods in the Pub. I can relax in a comfortable environment. It helps me study and breaks up the tension of classroom after classroom. The relaxed atmosphere also allowed students to work on yearbook, newspaper, or other work. Sophomore Lori Bloomberg said, The Pub is different from other classrooms. The environment is friendly. I don't feel pressed for anything because I can be on my own. To outsiders, who glimpsed at the room through the frequently opening door, the people inside appeared to be in a mad race with time. Everyone was moving, going places, discussing, and commenting to the whole classroom out loud; so it was hard to see what was being accomplished. As a result of all the hard work, both Altis and Oracle received best publications awards at the I.U. Southeast Press Day. Also awarded was the National Scholastic Press Association's All American Yearbook Award to the 1987 Altis, while the Quill and Scroll George Gallup Award was awarded to the 1986-1987 Oracle. Along with these prestigious awards, both publications decorated the walls with numerous writing and design awards. Even with the staffs' own style of decor and the relaxed atmosphere of the room, the hard work that went in to producing outstanding publications took priority. by Angie King Determining the best positions for pictures and copy, Juniors Susie Stickles and Craig Bryant and Senior Amy Hurst discuss a layout for a club's spread.

Hard work and hoc weather went together to make summer band camp a success in perfecting the Olympian Spirit Marching football show. Basically it’s a time when we put the show together and teach the freshmen and new band members to march, Peter Foster, band director, said. Band Camp met one week out of the summer from 8 to 4 p.m. at East There was a ten dollar charge for the students who attended the camp. There's a lot of pressure on learning the drill but I think it s easier on the people, especially the freshmen, because when school starts they already know some people, Foster said. Foster claims that he spends at least ten hours each day with the band. Band camp isn't too bad considering the recreation time and stuff, Chris Walters, junior, said. Band camp was not the same for every one, for some it was more of a strain. The long hours and hot weather caused several people to suffer heat exhaustion. Practice went on through August and throughout the football season. When the school year started, the complaints about the heat changed to people fretting about the cold. The band would start practicing at 7 a.m. Although band camp was a strain, it paid off. The band won several awards this year, including a Division I rating at the regional competition. Although we didn't go to state, we beat North. I feel that the season went well, Senior Matt Howery said. by Travis Amis Cmctrt Band.

They were the center of attention with the spotlight and audience's applause directed right at them. Unfortunately, very few guys were willing to distinguish their singing abilities under the spotlight on center stage. Junior Pat Moffatt, a member of the Clark Bar's, said, Most guys in high school are more self- conscious about singing in front of people. Most guys don't like to sing in front of people their own age. Freshman Jennifer Branstetter, Reflections member, thought that guys, especially the freshmen, have trouble singing out. Sometimes guys have trouble really expressing themselves and really singing out in Freshmen Choir. If they go on to concert choir it seems they gain confidence and really display their talent. Another reason which bothered the guys was shyness. Freshman Christy Boes, singer in Olympian Choir, commented, The guys are shy because they are outnumbered, especially the freshmen. Melanie Hand, freshman Reflections member, thought guys didn't sing because they were afraid of being uncool. Hand commented, Some guys who sing really well won’t be in choir because they don't think it's cool to be a singer. Although some might agree that there was a guy shortage in the choir world, the ability to do musical productions was not limited. We have never had to cancel any production because of a lack of guys, Moffatt said, Most of the guys we have this year are strong singers and carry their part well. Even though there has always been fewer guys than girls, Moffatt said, The guys in choir, especially the all-male group, alias Clark Bar's, liked to steal the spotlight from the many girls and become the center of attention. by Heather Gutenberger Concert Choir.

Seniors in DECA went out into the working world to receive hands-on training in the merchandising field. Companies ranging from Marsh to Malcolm Ross Jewelers provided jobs for these students. DECA extended the education students received outside of the classroom to enable them to become more self confident in today's working world. DECA has given me the opportunity to openly express myself and enables me to use marketing skills which 1 will use in the future, Tracy Hendrickson, junior, said.

The German Club, which started the same year East opened, did much for the school and the surrounding community. Club activities included picnics, carolling at Christmas, and going to state conventions. Jerome Baker, sponsor, said, They do not meet on a regular basis. Each student taking German is welcome to join the club. Since the club doesn't meet on a regular basis, they talk about club activities in class so that all the students feel they are apart of the club. In May six students and two adults from Martdorf came to East for three weeks and did activities with the German Club as well as the classes. Baker, the German students, and exchange students felt that the club was an excellent one 10 be in. The Spanish Club let students experience the Spanish culture by travelling to areas that allowed them to discover how other people live. Jim and Rosemary Haro, Spanish teachers and club sponsors, enjoyed taking students to areas that display the culture of Spaniards. The Haros enjoyed having 239 students enrolled in the club, which is anyone in Spanish, but would like to have more. We love for new students to take Spanish and to learn how Spanish people live, Jim Haro said. One way students learned about a tradition was to participate in a cascarones party. In late April, all students were asked to decorate Easter eggs and Fill them with rice. The eggs were hidden from the classes and eventually found. The students were supposed to bust the eggs over a classmate's head and to yell Feliz Pascua at the same time. The Spanish Club also planned a trip to Chi-Chi's Mexican Restaurant at the end of May. Chi-Chi's is the most favorable trip for Spanish students. Every year the turn-out is terrific for us, Haro explained. The Haros encouraged students to learn all they could about the Spanish culture. They enjoyed teaching and having fun with learning at the same time. by John Hatter and Lori Haymaker DtnPlybon Smashing caacarooes over the top of Spanirfi teacher Rosemary Haro's head.

The programs were judged on a one to ten basis, everyone was a celebrity judge during the show. The first act, The Theater of the Stars, introduced the constellations, planets, and sky during each season. They do this by using a mechanical and electrical machine which imitates the sky and stars, Robert Kasting said. The planetarium is run by Kasting and a volunteer student group made up of 12 highly capable and motivated students who expressed interest in being on the staff.

S kiing: P.E. classes Watch out for that treeeeeee!!!!!!! East's physical education class (P.E.) opened up the opportunity for all students enrolled in that class to go skiing. They go once a semester, usually in January and Febuary, with an average of 125 students going each time. The class traveled to Ski World in Bloomington for the school day. Some students were taught to ski for the first part of the day on the bunny hill and later were allowed to venture out on their own. P.E. Instructor Wally Murray said, Skiing is an activity students need to be exposed to. It’s an oppurtunity for them to learn one of the many different sports. For some students it was a leisure day out of school but for others it was a new experience to be enjoyed. Freshman Michelle Mullholand said, It wasn’t hard to learn how to ski but it took time to get the hang of it, According to Murray in the 10 years the school has gone to Ski World there have been no serious accidents, just strained knees and ankle sprains. Murray said, An average of 3-4 students get hurt each time. Most students enjoy skiing. Even if they get hurt, they want to go back again. It’s fun for a beginner, but they get tired easily. Ski World season was open from mid-December to the first of March. Some schools go to Ski World for take to the slopes % Darren Wray Skiing with the P.E. classes, Junior Maurice Shaw takes a spill.

Murray said, I feel Ski World has kept the price down, within reason for the kids. Ten years ago the price was S10 to go skiing with the school, but now the price $12. by Sarah Maple Drug Testing: Program brews controversy In Tippecanoe County, the appeal of a decision by a county court to allow random drug testing of high school athletes and cheerleaders is pending. If the decision is upheld and random testing is found to be constitutional, high schools throughout Indiana, including the high schools of Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation, may, on the basis of this ruling, decide to randomly test athletes and cheerleaders for illegal drugs. Last year at McCutcheon High School in Tippecanoe County, the athletic department ran 75-80 random drug test in the fall before being asked to discontinue the practice. I was one of the people who originally supported the program, Jake Burton, assistant principal athletic director at McCutcheon, said. We found it to be an excellent tool We found it to be an excellent tool in deterring drug use. Jake Burton, McCutcheon H.S. athletic director in deterring drug use. McCutcheon was asked to stop random drug testing when objections on constitutional grounds were raised by two students of neighboring Harrison High School. The school board policy had been to permit testing, having athletes sign a statement indicationg that they would agree to be tested if asked to do so. Reactions in the county have varied. According to Burton, most of the athletes he has talked to have no objections to the existing policy. Harrison Principal Bob Day disagreed. I think the policy is too restrictive. It should apply to anyone participating in voluntary, extra-curricular activities rather than just to athletes and cheerleaders, Day said. However, even if the court decides to uphold the previous decison, many people have doubts as to the probability of drug testing becoming a widespread practice. According to Bob Gardner, assistant commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, the cost of testing would be the greatest prohibitive measure in most schools. Using the NCAA figures, the cost would run about $135 per test, Gardner said. Local school officials agree that the cost will probably be a deterrent. I don't think there is much chance of drug testing at the high school level. Even at higher levels, like professional or Olympic, they haven't implemented testing, except for maybe spot checks. I think the cost will keep the program out of high schools, East athletic director 76 Sports Digest Developing good work habits and providing a worthwhile goal to strive for is what the Columbus East Ironman Club is all about, according to its creator, Don Schmidt The club is simply the group of athletes at East who have squatted their weight, bench pressed their weight, and deadlifted twice their weight ten times each, without help, under the supervision of Schmidt. Simple enough, right? The club has had only eight members since its creation five years ago. This is not to say that there are few people working for it —it is a very hard task to accomplish. There are a lot of guys working for it, but most just don’t say anything, Schmidt said. The fact that someone makes the Ironman Club does not necessarily qualify them as a hulking, muscular workout fanatic. There are a lot of ways to look at it. The big guys are supposed to be strong, but they have to lift a whole lot more weight. The smaller guys can say this is all I've got, but it's all muscke'.Jf a guy is in three sports, he has less time for lifting. Everybody is a bit different, Schmidt said. Moreover, the strength does not immediately qualify them for college level athletics. To be a successful athlete you must have the strength, the skill of the sport, and the willingness to work to be good, Schmidt said. The accomplishment of the Ironman title is not nearly as important as the effort of working for it, according to Schmidt. If a kid works for it, if he makes it is immaterial, because they don’t give scholarships for weightlifting. When a kid strives for it, he builds work habits, so his wife doesn't hav to push him out of bed every morning to go to work. It’s how hard they work that impresses me, not the amount lifted. Although Schmidt brought the idea to East, it is not a new one. Ironman Club has been around for a long time. A number of schools have used it before. I first heard of it at Merrillville when teaching there. The coach used it there and they went on to a 5A State football championship, Schmidt said. by Tod Smith nationwide, but remains unlikely in BCSC Dennis Sylvester. The existing program for drug offenders in Bartholomew County would further deter implementation of a drug testing program. I don't think we're going to be seeing this at East because of the existing program with Phil Wasmuth, East head football coach John Stafford said. According to school officials, alcohol abuse by athletes and students in general is more of a problem than drug abuse. In the case that a student in BCSC is caught with drugs they are referred to Phil Wasmuth, the corporation’s Substance Abuse Director. The student is suspended from extracurricular activities. Wasmuth then decides whether or not to administer a drug screening, and whether to refer the student to counseling or to a rehabilitation program, either of which is required in order for the student to restart sports or extracurricular activities. by Alison Peck and Tod Smith Using the NCAA figures, the cost would run about $135 per test.

Freshman Melissa Moore has met with success in her gymnastics career. Moore began her tumbling career at age five when her mother enrolled her in a tumbling class offered by a dance studio in Richmond, Indiana. Moore s mother feared that her daughter's flipping around the house would cause an injury so she signed young Melissa up. Ten years later, Moore has come a long way. She traveled to Indianapolis five to seven days a week, depending on her competitive schedule. It was difficult for Moore to train in Columbus since she was the only Class I gymnast. She needed teammates to help motivate her to do better, so she decided to train with Baron DeVeau in Indianapolis. Moore spent up to sixteen hours working out during a regular week. Before some meets, she practiced seven days a week. My social life has suffered because I usually can't go out on Friday and Saturday nights, Moore said. It's hard because it takes a lot of dedication, time, and practice and meets don't always go the way you want them to. Things can get really frustrating at times. Moore often traveled with her teammates to Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky. Once a year, she traveled to Oregon, Nevada, and Alabama. Moore competed in the United States Gymnastics Federation Nationals and the AAU Nationals, both in New York. All the long hard hours spent in the gym paid off for Moore when she placed fifth all-around in the AAU Nationals. I would like to become an elite gymnast and compete on an international level, Moore said. When faced with the offered men and women receiving scholarships, Anitra House, of the I.U.

Contrary to popular belief, receiving an athletic scholarship is not always easy. Having excellent athletic abilities does not always ensure a free ride. All athletes must have a minimum level of academics as a freshman, House said, and have a minimum grade point average every year to continue receiving the scholarship.

Graphic by Chris Harpenau S cholarsh Every year, high school seniors throughout the nation became preoccupied with the rising cost o f college. For a handful of people, however, this expense was lessened by receiving financial support through scholarships. There were scholarships offered in many different fields, but one of the largest is that of athletics. At Indiana University, many students were awarded financial help through sports scholarships. This year, there are 323 It is not always easy to be both an athlete and scholar at the same time, House stated. It takes a lot of time, and every year, there are a few people who can't do both.

Senior Mark Schaefer tries his luck at solving this problem. {Excitement of sport fishing lures many Excitement of the catch,... the reasons varied, but fishing remained an active sport throughout the United States and among East students. Tradition helped keep the sport of fishing alive. My dad first took me fishing when I was five years old, and I've liked it ever since, Senior Mark Shaefer said The thrill of fishing kept many involved. I go for competition and to get away from everything, Senior Andy Devers said. Once attracted, fishermen spent many hours out on the water. When summer hits, I go out at least four times a week. I fish with my whole family. We fish from about 3:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. If the fish are biting we stay longer, Shaefer said I go fishing every chance I get, Devers said. Fishing is not an expensive sport, but many wanted good quality equipment. A good rod and reel will cost you the most, Shaefer said. A good combo ranges from $70 to $130. Certain rods alone could cost all the way up to $130. New products on the market this year included Kangaroo worms, Bagley's Fat Cat, and Mister Twister Waterdogs. Most of these items could be found at local department stores or bait shops. Making fishing lures was a sport by itself. My dad got me started making crankbaits about seven years ago, and I've just started to experiment with spinnerbaits. It takes a lot of time but it's worth catching a fish on a lure that you made yourself. It makes you feel like you have accomplished something, Shaefer said. In some contests, one fish can cover all expenses. by James McQueary to experienced athletes receive the financial aid until further review of his or her athletics. Theophilus Tucker, a senior, was offered a scholarship for track at Grambling University. I won't know if I got it until the middle of the outdoor season, though, Tucker stated Many people often believed that balancing athletics and academics is difficult. It is not always easy to be both an athlete and a scholar at the same time, House stated. It takes a lot of time, and every year, there are a few people who can’t do both. Another problem encountered by students receiving athletic scholarships is the threat of injury. In this case, a few athletes have to quit school, due to a lack of funds. For example, imagine playing football or basketball for a college in exchange for financial support. However, due to an injury, your scholarship is cut off, which makes it difficult to finish the year due to financial problems. It is going to take more time than in high school, Tucker said. I have to get that extra edge on everyone. Receiving athletic scholarships also has benefits, however. It's exciting to know that you are good enough to get one, but you still have to perform better, because there is faster competition, Tucker said.

Fans walked to the stands and their feet sank into the ground when they got out of their cars. It was homecoming night The second ranked and undefeated Olympians were to meet the also ranked and undefeated Jeffersonville Red Devils. Olympian fans watched as two Jeffersonville buses full of screaming fans pulled into the parking lot The players came out on the field. Each school’s bands tried to tell the crowd that their school was the best. Then the game started. The rain had stopped but the night turned out miserable just the same. The Olympians lost to the Red Devils 36 to 13. It was not only a regular season loss, but it gave Jeffersonville the title of Hoosier Hills Conference champion. Two weeks after that on the same kind of cold, rainy night the Olympians were defeated by the Bloomington North Cougars in the first round of sectionals. Even though these losses were disappointing, they were only two compared to seven wins. Screaming fans and proud parents were there when the Olympians powered over North, crosstown rival, with a score of 34 to 0. I think the highlight of the season was against North. It was the best played game in all aspects, John Stafford said. The Jennings County Panthers suffered the same fate when the Olympians beat them 41 to 0. The win over North also marked coach John Stafford’s 100th career win. The Olympians’ hard work earned them the honor of having six players named to the all-conference team this year.

Along with the strong performances of their teammates both the men's and women's teams finished with winning seasons. The women's team, finishing with a 4-4 record, surprised themselves with a second place sectional finish. Lead by Sophomore Lamothe, 28 place; and Junior Amy Pate, 29 place; the women's team ran past Bloomington North to qualify for Regional competition. Coach Kevin Darr said, This year’s team made big progress towards making the Cross Country program a success. Advancing to the Regionals with what little training they did proved that there is a lot of talent on this team. Next year if the girls work harder, especially during the summer, I think they have a chance of advancing to the State. It will be interesting to see what they'll do. The men's team, with only four returning seniors, finished with a record of 5-4. Junior Guthrie placed fourth in sectionals to help his team to a fourth place Sectional finish. He went on to place fifth in Regionals and twelfth in Semi- State. Guthrie said, I think we had a pretty good season considering we had a new first-year coach and we lost our best two runners from last years team due to graduation.n Cross Country was not all hard work and pain because the teams found ways to break the tensions of long distance running. Senior Mike Hatton said, The pasta parties before big meets seemed to help out because they kept the team close and enabled us to get mentally prepared for the race. They usually met at different teammates' houses to load up on spaghetti for the energy they needed the next day. This also brought the teams closer. Lamothe said, One day to make practice more fun we had an egg race. We ran relays to see who could run without breaking the eggs. This allowed us to get our minds off distance running but at the same time it helped. Both teams kept consistent with practice and sweat. Guthrie said, We surprised a lot of people by making it to Semi-State . If we train hard this summer, I think we can make it to state. by Kelli Brown C0LUMB{te EAST [U mniftMhi wm mmwm Men's C.

Junior Jerome Johnson-Bey Disappointed with the team's performance, Coach Roger Reed stands to give directions to the players on the floor. In the HHC East faced Jeffersonville (with Paris Bryant), Bedford (with Damon Bailey, the best sophomore in the country), and Floyd Central (with Pat Graham). All three teams were ranked in the top twenty most of the year. At one time, six teams that East played were in the top twenty. East was led by Senior Carey Cox, who was selected as the MVP by his teammates, and selected as All- Conference, too. Cox was ninth in scoring in the HHC with an average of 13.4, shooting 53 percent from the Field, and averaging nine or more rebounds a game. Carey Cox has had a Fine senior year. He was our leading rebounder and scorer, Reed said. We started out winning our First two games, and then we went into a downfall. Coming back and beating Martinsville was a major highpoint, Cox said. Two other players also earned recognition: Ryan Brewer, senior, was selected as the the team captain, and Lance Barker was the First freshman to play varsity basketball at East Lance Barker has had a lot of pressure on him this season as a freshman. He has handled it very well, Reed said. Barker’s teammates agreed. Lance did an excellent job on adjusting to older and more experienced players, Jerome Johnson-Bey, junior, said Other team members were also recognized in helping with pressure. I counted on Cox and Greg Huff to help the team in key situations; they also handled the pressure as well, Reed said I was satisfied with the team staying out of foul trouble. They played good ball. I concentrated on each individual game, and played with my best Five, regardless if they were freshmen or seniors. If they could shoot the ball, then they played for me.

O's win first sectional game in 8 years Losing in the first round of sectionals for eight years became pretty tiresome for the girls of the 1988 basketball team. They turned it around and defeated the Greensburg Pirates in their first round of sectional play and they also posted 9-11 record. Working together as a team was the main force that pushed them along and hard work is what kept them working together. We had more balance this year. We didn’t have to rely on one or two individuals, Coach Wendy Bowmar said. During the second half of the season we played really well together as a team, but we still need to work on positioning for rebounds and being patient on offense. The players also felt that the season was good. As a whole I think we had a successful season. We often didn't play well as a team, but at the end of our season we improved. My hope for next year is that we can carry over what we learned this year, Junior Leah Byrnes-said. The girls lost a hard fought battle against crosstown rival Columbus North by two points in overtime. After winning the first sectional game the Olympians had to face North again in the final game of the sectionals. We played well against them in the season so we knew we could play with them. I think we had more talent, but their advantage was experience. They've been in the final game for at least five or six years now, Bowmar said. Two players were named to the all-conference team which were Sophomore Jeni Bonnell and Junior Leah Byrnes. At the team's award banquet Byrnes was named most valuable player and Senior Joyce Downey was named team captain and was given the mental attitude award. The girls basketball program has been struggling for years, but Coach Bowmar feels that these girls turned it around and hard work is what got them there. Bowmar said, The program has been down for years. This team knew they had the confidence in themselves and they knew that they had to work hard to win games and also make it into the final game of the sectionals. by Amy Pierce Girls Varsity Basketball.

Morning practices were common and getting ready at the pool for school was another factor that was braved by all swimmers. Despite all the early morning swims in cold water and having to drag themselves out of bed the swimmers still came and improvement and rewarding seasons were the finishing products. Although the boys team posted a 0-10 record this year they still had an excellent amount of participation compared to last year. There were three times as many boys out this year compared to last years eight swimmers. I was really happy at the amount of participation we had this year. There were about three times as many people this year, Coach David Fribley said. The team members felt that they improved and that was what the highlight of their season was. The team was happy about their performance in the sectionals and in the conference, in which they placed sixth. The girls team ended this year with a 8-2 record and a lot of young and older talent. Sophomore Kelli Brown and Freshman Margaret Dugan were some of the swimmers who helped to support the team this year. Seniors Janae Franke and Jennifer Burbrink were driving forces this year both in athleticism and leadership. Franke was an all-conference winner and was also a state competitor. The team overall placed 1st in the conference and 2nd overall in the sectionals. The team went to the state and overall placed a very respectable 13th place. The team had an abundance of depth and team spirit. Team members were always at each others sides cheering them on and in turn many victories were collected. The team this year was really good. We had a lot of depth and team spirit. I think that is what helped us to do so well and keep us going as a team, Sophomore Kelli Brown said. Besides early morning practices for the whole swimming season many of the swimmers join the Donner swim club and practice year round. Girl's Coach Jill Franke is also the head coach of the Donner club. Practices were usually held at East and were usually held during the week. With all of the dedication of the two teams improvement was always there and team spirit was always necessary. Swimmers felt that improvement was the major highlight of the season. Knowing that I improved during the season was definitely the highlight. Also knowing that towards the end of the season we came closer to winning more meets and also finishing farther up in sectional standings was another highlight, Sophomore Steve Davis said. by Amy Pierce Boy's and Girl's Swimming I Sports 97 Hard work ] pays off with successful season Although the team had a new coach, Glen Brown, the past years’ Reserve coach, and a group of youngsters, consisting of eight freshmen, the wrestlers pulled together to have a successful season of 14-8-1. The close-knit team worked hard to prepare mentally and physically. Concentration was one of the key aspects in a match. Sophomore Brad Coers said, Mental preparation is an important key because you have to be ready as soon as the whistle blows. Another factor, weight, played a major part in the wrestling teams' exciting season. There were thirteen different weight classes. The wrestler chose his class by his weight and strength. This sometimes meant losing weight Dieting, running, and sometimes starving oneself included some of the ways wrestlers lost those extra pounds before weigh-in. Senior James Shipp said, Weight control was one of the main factors for my successful season. The veteran wrestlers gave the newcomers insight and showed them the game plans of the team, while the newcomers gave the veterans a new outlook for the season. The hard work paid off for some. Seniors Shipp and Ted Sabinas and Sophomores Coers and Nathan Dutton all made it past Sectionals to Regionals. Although no one advanced past Regionals, the young team agreed on their successes. Sabinas said, I thought the season went well considering we had a young team. I think we could have done better if we wouldn't of had some unfortunate injuries around Christmas. I think they will have a good team next year. Coach Brown said, 'The season went very well. We were inexperienced and young, but we had a lot of wins. I was very pleased with this team and I am looking forward to next year. by Kelli Brown Wrestling.

Senior Ted Sabinas p Weight control was one of the main factors for my successful season. It was difficult to maintain but in the end it was worth it. Senior James Shipp 4 fefc Wrestling Sportsl99 We did a real good job of playing as a team and getting along with each other. Senior Laura Anthers Hitting a hole-in-one was the biggest accomplishment of the year. Most people don't do that in high school level golf.” Sophomore John Hatter Practicing putting, Freshman Jason Newton tries to improve his skills, while Junior Matt Steinwedel and Sophomore John Hatter discuss their games. Trying to hit out of a sandlrap was one of many encounters of playing golf. Senior Jill Stache does her best to fulfill this task. Keeping his eye on the ball, Junior Todd Bonebrake sets his swing. Bonebrake contributed greatly to the team's tradition of golfing excellence. Wagner, Stache, Anthers provide leadership There is no greater challenge than to challenge yourself, the girls golf team motto, held tme throughout the year. Whether at practice or a meet, the girls tried to achieve their best under pressure. Laura Anthers, Jill Stache, and Wendy Wagner were the three returning senior players who provided leadership and support to the less experienced girls. The major strength of the team were my returning seniors, they really helped and deserve recognition, Jackie Burton, girls golf coach, said. Another strength was that the top four golfers were at the same level of ability. Although the season started out slow, we got better as we got more practice and the season progressed, Burton said. The Bloomington North meet was our best of the year. The highest point total was reached and the toughest competition was met. Burton believed playing for fun helped them to learn and improve the basic skills of golf, such as putting, driving, and sand shots. Often practices were difficult but I enjoyed working with the team, and I learned a lot, Becky Quackenbush, freshman player, said. During the spring the boys golf team proved to be somewhat more successful. Running out to the parking lot from a 9th mod class while trying to beat the traffic to Otter Creek golf course signaled the beginning of another golf practice. The boys golf team, which is a spring sport, began practice on March 1. Among the many highlights of the season was a hole-in-one by Sophomore John Hatter. This year has been frustrating, Coach Bob Gergely said. The younger players on the team have helped a lot, and through the experiences this past season should contribute greatly next season if they play alot this summer, Gergely said. Lack of dedication on the part of the team memebers proved to be the grestest weakness of the team. A golfer must work all year long to improve his game not just during the season, Gergely said. Chuck Wells, junior, said, We're a young team but the experience we’ve gained this year should be really helpful, I think were going to have an awesome « team that has experience next year. by John Hatter and Beth Pigg Girl Golf.

Coach John Kessler said, For having no pre-season play and having to get used to my coaching methods, they did extremely well.” Sophomore Paul Dugan played at the number one singles position. Kessler said, He basically played against juniors and seniors all season. He'll be a top notch player one of these days and East has the ability to become a power-house in tennis again if they exert the effort to do so.” This year, several tennis players played soccer and hockey as well. IHSAA rules allowed athletes to play in more than one sport if the coach agreed and they attended the required number of practices. Junior Brian Clark played at the number two singles position while playing soccer and hockey. Junior Tom Husmann filled the remaining singles position. Sophomore Truong Nguyen and Junior Jade Holt made up the number one doubles position. Senior Steve Cain and Junior Stephen Conway filled the number two doubles position. The girls tennis team underwent many changes as the 11-5 team rebuilt after four of the seven starters graduated. Key player Sophomore Ashley Risk joined the team at the number one singles position. East dominated New Albany 5-0 in the HHC Conference. A 1-4 loss to Floyd Central and a 5-0 win against Jeffersonville gave the team a third place finish, while Risk won the Conference championship for number one singles. Returning Senior Norma Kim played at number two singles for the third straight year. Senior Susan Holland filled the remaining singles position. Third year coach Terralin Schurr said, ’’Susan is very consistent She always gives her best effort and keeps her mind in the game. Returning as one of the number one doubles was Senior Chrisdn Husmann. Sophomore Jenny Marshall made the transition from number one singles on Junior Varsity last year to help make up the number one doubles team. Schurr said, They've (Husmann and Marshall) got a lot of ability. They play well together and were unbeatable the first few matches.’’ Seniors Manisha Thakor and Kinsey Katchka sat out last season, but returned to fill the number two doubles position. Schurr said, Manisha and Kinsey play well together. Kinsey does a great job of keeping Manisha fired up. Of the five season losses, three could have gone both ways. Schurr said, We re a lot better team then the scores show. For having just three returning starters, we did a great job.

Tennis Sports! 103 Gymnasts work to full potential One senior, five sophomores, and two freshmen made up the winning varsity gymnastics team. With dedication and many long hours of practice the team came up on the winning end; not only in the first meet against rivals Columbus North, but in the five meets following. Practicing three hours after school, and three hours every day during Christmas break gave the Olympians the edge they needed. With such an exciting start to the season after defeating Columbus North for the first time in three years the girls were ready for whoever came their way. Freshman Emily Keller, recovering from a diving injury, went on to set a new school record on the balance beam, while Senior Tracy Salinas won the all-around competition by defeating North Junior Robin Loheide. Keller said, I didn’t think I could come back from my injury that fast, but I'm pleased with my performances this year. The season continued successfully for the girls who were undefeated in dual meets with a record of 6-0. The gymnasts were looking ahead to Sectionals but the knee injury of Salinas, in the meet against Bloomington South, made the victory seem impossible. Each gymnast had to work extremely hard if they wanted to capture the Sectional title. Although the team did not win the Sectional they advanced three competitors to Regionals, Keller and Sophomores Kelli Brown and Sue Lamothe. Lamothe also qualified for State in the all-around competition. The gymnastics season held numerous surprises for the girls. They went on a surprise weekend trip to Gnawbone Camp. This was meant to bring the team closer and help the girls to get acquainted. Sophomore Libby Sims said, Gnawbone was a good time for the team to be together doing something besides gymnastics. I think we all got closer to each other. The season was one for hard work, meeting new people, learning new stunts, and having a little bit of fun. by Kelli Brown Gymnastics.

We were struggling, averaging three errors a game, not playing good defense and it didn't look like we had real good pitching, Giovanini said. But we did make very good progress. A lot of teams would take 28-6 and being in the Final 16. And we've got a group of seniors that have been on three semistate teams. There are no other East players who can say they've been a part of that. This team returned with six of last year's starter including second baseman Mike Deaver, senior; outfileder Ron Doll, senior; shortstop Jody Wendel, senior; pitcher and outfielder Greg Hensley, junior; and third baseman Brent Pelley, sophomore. by Kelli Brown The blistering heat baking against the dry dusty field at Richmond semistate, the jubilant cheers of the Muncie South players, and the tearing, sad faces of the O's signaled the close of a very tough season. In the game against these Rebels the O's ran into a super fastball pitcher who was timed over 80 mph along with teammates who made some great defensive plays which shut down potential East rallies. The final score was 3-1. Through 16 seasons Coach Giovanini stressed to his players never to quit. This was true in this final battle and typical of the team’s improvement throughout the year. At one time the record read 3-3. But after it's all over I think back and reflect and see that we were 28-6-1 and came back from a point early when we were Playing in the championship game would be a dream come true. It is one of those things that doesn't happen very often.

The gun went off and the runners started out with a great burst of speed. Each one of them striving to do their best and taking that final exhausting step over the finish line. That was what the girls aad boys track season was all about Personal goals and recordi were high on the list of all the athletes and many times these records would score points in the meet. Both the boys and girls teams had building seasons. Each team had an abundance of young talent and leadership from the older participants. The boys team was especially lucky to have a big group of senior leaders. We had a lot of good leadership this year, and this really helped the team out. Especially in helping the younger kids improve, said Sophomore Jason Gater. The girls coach, Kevin Darr, felt that his team's main weakness was lack of leadership. We really lacked in leadership this year. We had Senior Jolinda Buchanan and Junior Angie Wilkerson, but we really needed a lot more in that area, Darr said. Darr felt that their season s strength was the number of athletes that came out for the team. The numbers consisted of large numbers of freshmen and sophomores. This year was for finding talent and I saw a lot of younger kids excel and they will be ready for next year, Darr said. Many personal records were set such as Denise Campbell's times in the 400 and also Jolinda Buchanan's discus throws in the conference meets and sectionals. Darr felt that every ones records were the major highlights of the year. He also felt that the girls really did well at their conference meet and they excelled and really came up with some of the best times of the year. The boys team also excelled personally and many personal records were broken. The team had ten boys qualify for sectionals and many that were just seconds off. Seniors Pat Taylor and Theophilus Tucker led in sprinting while Junior Jon Sturgill ami Senior Jason White led the team in distance. The boys team was given awards for accomplishing things individually. One of these awards was called the Reeses award. It was given to the person who placed the most in the meet before that practice. Sophomore Lincoln Probst always felt that it was the highlight of the season.

There are more opportunities here for people who want them. n a school of 1500, it would be easy to become just another face in the crowd or another number in a computer. At East, opportunities for advancement are layed out and students are allowed to excel at their own pace as individuals. It’s not necessary to live in a certain area, dress in the right clothes, or have parents that work at the right place.

The senior class gathered in the commons to create a memory of their special year. Class of 88 celebrates achievements, fun times Recalling every event that made history with each senior in 1988 would be impossible. However, the seniors made sure that 1988 would not pass without something memorable happening to them. Two seniors, Steve Warren and Cindy McFall started off a great year as they were named the 1988 Fall Homecoming King and Queen. The Homecoming festivities brought school spirit into the hearts of seniors. They realized this would be their last high school Fall Homecoming. Meghan Kelly and Janice Milhouse spent their senior years in Markdorf, Germany as part of the Foreign Exchange Program. Once again Seymour-born John Cougar Mellencamp came to Indianapolis with a great response from his fans. Not one, but four sold-out concerts were given to satisfy the needs of his small town fans. Pink Floyd and Motley Crue also proved worthy of their names in Indianapolis. A special Christmas Convocation was held the day before Christmas. Competition among all four classes ended with the seniors being victorious. Seniors Richie Brown and Jolinda Buchanan were named as the 1988 Winter Homecoming King and Queen. This convocation gave all students a chance to express themselves the way they felt necessary. The football team had an excellent 1988 season. Both Pat Taylor and Kevin Farris were named to the All-State football team. Each and every senior that planned for a higher education had to pay the price with examinations and college applications. Manisha Thakor and Alison Peck were named National Merit Semi-Finalists. Janae Franke swam in two events at the State swim meet in the IU Natatorium. Carla Disney achieved a position as a member of the National Orchestra. Many unforgettable events happened during 1988, such as Coach Stafford earning the 100th win of his football career, tracking down to Florida for Spring Break, dressing up for the Prom, having a ball at the After Prom, and that very memorable occasion, graduation. 1988 turned out memories for each senior to remember as they closed their high school career and encountered the challenges of college or the work place. by Monica James 114 Seniors Class of '88 Brenda Adams Pete Agostinelli Baseball 1,2; Spanish Club 1,2,3 Andrew Alka Football 1,2,3,4; FFA 3,4; Concert Band 1,2 Tim Anderson iMura Anthers Golf 1,2,3,4 (MVP 4); Powderpuff 4 Darrin Baack Douglas P.

Having first become interested in cycling in elementary school Branstad has been a serious enthusiast the last two yean. Branstad, senior, thinks bicycling is fun as a hobby but also plans to participate in organized races. He stated, I plan to start training this winter by riding 10 to 20 miles per day. His first race will be the May Day Rally. Other races to follow are the Honeysuckle 100, the Fall Festival, and the Hilly 100. Branstad said, The farthest I’ve ridden is 100 km. in approximately 9 houn. Bicycles can range from $300 to $800, and a person can invest a lot in clothing, depending on styles and brands. As Branstad has expressed, Bicycling can be expensive if you get serious about it. Branstad hopes to race competively in college. Not being particularly good in other sports, said Branstad, cycling has been good for my confidence. Bicycling is not only good fun, but good for you, believes Branstad. He feels it exercises the whole body. Everyone should try it, he stated. by John Hatter Keeping his bicycle in top condition, Senior Erik Branstad prepares to start training for spring competition during the winter months.

Foreign exchange students take on challenge Although thousands of miles away from their families, homes, and friends the seven exchange students kept in touch by letters and telephone calls. I write as often as I can. It's expensive but I call home every fifteen days or so to stay in touch, Chely Padilla, freshman, said. The students became open to new people and ideas although being uprooted from their homes. Carlos Pulley, senior, expressed his reason for coming to America because, I would like to know another culture outside of my own country. Coming to America involved a variety of ways. Chely Padilla and Marissa Hernandez, both freshman, came from Matamoras, Mexico through their church, while Carlos Pulley, also from Mexico, came through AFS International. Mare Rodriguez Del Hoyo's sister stayed in America a few yean ago. The family then invited Mare, senior, to say with them. Juan Navanete, senior, came from Madrid, Spain. East's Brother school. Bildungszentium, Markdorf, Germany, sent Markus Weiss, senior, along with Petra Schulz, senior, who came from the school in Germany. There may be differences between their home towns and Columbus but they got along just fine. The courses are really easy. I used to have fourteen classes so East is a big change for me, Mare Rodriguez Del Hoyo said. While foreigners are studying in Columbus, three Columbus East High School students are studying in Markdorf, Germany. Janice Milhouse and Meghan Kelly, both seniors, are attending East's Sister school. Robert Maple, sophomore, is attending East's Brother school. The exchange programs provided students with a challenge. Those who accepted this challenge learned a lot from their experiences and their love for another language lasts forever. by Sherri Arthur and Lisa Tuttle '1 __ Angit Oortwu Consulting on hit cl a as schedule with Lou Rohlfing, guidance counselor, Juaa Navarette, senior foreign exchange studeat, gets advice.

Although she played piano, oboe, and percussion, nothing compares to the violin. Disney slowly and quietly received more and more recognition for her talent. Disney has participated in the All-State Honors Orchestra. While a member of the orchestra, she was selected first chair and named concert master, which is an assistant to the conductor. Those designations qualified her for a spot in the national orchestra. She was chosen for the national honors orchestra, which is an ensemble of musicians from around the world. The orchestra played for the National Educators Conference in Indianapolis. Disney has played the violin for six and a half years. She began playing the violin in grade school when her mother signed her up for lessons at school. In elementary school we received papers to take home for our parents which told about string classes after school. My mother signed me up to take them. They were group lessons and they were not very inspiring, but for some crazy reason, I took to the violin. I began studying privately one year later, Disney said. She practices at least two hours a day. ”During the school year, especially, it is difficult to practice as much as I would like. I always try to practice at least two or three hours a day excluding time during orchestra and other rehearsals, Disney said. Activities and awards began drawing her more attention. She attended numerous music camp s at Indiana University and was named the concert master in the orchestra there. Her school activities included the East Orchestra and a Tri-M officer. She also participated in the Columbus Symphony and Chamber Orchestras, and the Pro Musica Symphony. She studies with Henry Kowalski in Bloomington. I am constantly encountering new paths which I may or may not take. What lies down those paths is a mystery to me, but I am eager to find out, whatever it may be, Disney said. by Michelle Hudson Usm McKaU Shawn McKinney Dmnlel B.

The senior girls prepared for the competition in various ways. They attended a two hour practice one day each week for a month to learn the aerobic routine. There was also a dress rehearsal that everyone attended. Some did more than others, though. Angie King, competitor from Columbus East High School, said, For the talent contest, I wrote a poem. Mr. Dutton gave me some pointers and Mrs. Gaddis helped me with the recital. The overall feeling the girls experienced Helping senior Tammy Lykins prepare for the evening gown category of the Junior Miss Contest, a member of the Jay-Shees makes adjustments. was nervousness. Tipi Pheiffer must have handled it rather well, though, as she was the winner. First runner up was Leslie Burton with second runner up honors going to Alison Peck. Natalie Carr was proud to accept the Spirit of Junior Miss (congeniality) award. Even through the hard work, the girls really seemed to enjoy it all. Thuy Nguyen, contestant, said, I would recommend this to others because it is a great way to meet new friends and it will prepare you for other competitions. It is not if you win or lose, but it is the opportunities to participate that makes it worth it all. by Michelle New land Jeffrey L. Stephens � Angela J.

Husmann enjoys work with children Most high school students spend their after school hours participating in sports, studying, and with friends, but senior Christin Husmann does all these and more. At her new job, she rediscovered her love for children. Husmann began work at Kinder Komer during the month of November and spends two hours there three or four times each week. She was a little apprehensive at first She was looking forward to it, but at the same time, I noticed that she was wondering how they would react to her, Sue Husmann, Christin's mother, said. She decided to be herself and the results were overwhelming. They are great. Now, I always look forward to it It's even hard for me to think of it as a job because I enjoy it so much, Husmann said. Husmann's goal to work in child care began in fourth grade and is stronger than ever. The decision was reached because of her love for little ones. Even though she enjoys working, she is still planning to attend college. It will be difficult to leave here, but I realize that getting an education is important too, Husmann expressed. She has no doubts as far as career choices are concerned. I really don't know what the future holds. One thing I am certain about, though, is what I want to do. In child care, the good feeling you get inside is never ending, Husmann said. by Michelle New land lady Bainister Working with children during playtime at Kinder Korner, senior Christin Husmann builds a block structure.

For some students though, it is a matter of a two-week period in which they plan, rehearse, and take part in a wedding in their Marriage and Family Relations course. The course is set up to teach the students of the problems. Finances, and perspectives of being bonded in wedlock, Marriage and Family Relations instructor Bonnie Burbrink said. The students enjoy the course from learning in it as well as teaching in it. The marriage took place Wednesday, November 18 in the auditorium when Brad Tumbow wed Traci Meier with the brides court consisting of Lisa McKale, Angie Bolander, and Tracy McCracken and the best man Ritchie Brown along side with Brad Bower and Jason Correll. Being the bride in the wedding was an exciting experience in my life, but it will never be as exciting as my real marriage later on in life, Senior Traci Meier said. When asked to perform the honors of the wedding, I was pleased to be involved, Reverend Robert Holmes said. Each of the students were thrilled and serious about the wedding, and I like working with young people so it was a great success. The budget was cut down lower this year, so the boys had to wear suits instead of tuxedos, Burbrink explained. Even with the minor problems of Finances and setting up the stage, the students of Marriage and Family Relations learned from each other and taught each other the duties of marriage. by Chris Nolting Judy Bnnuter Participating in the mock wedding as the bride, Traci Meier, senior, begins her role by walking down the aisle with guidance counselor, Max Moore.

Looking back to the '87-'88 school year. The Junior class was truly one to be remembered. April and Amber Seifert, along with Greg Huff and Sean Cutrell, started off a great year as they represented the juniors in the Homecoming festivities. At the end of a successful football season, Jeff Baker was named best defensive lineman and also honored as East's only junior named to the All-Conference team. The other fall standout, Jason Gutherie, led the cross country team in their semi-state appearance. For the class of '89’s junior year, Pink Floyd was the greatest concert. Fatal Attraction seemed to be the favorite movie. And, if you weren’t at a party, Burger King was the place to be. With the coming of the holidays, East was greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Claus (a.k.a. Brian Sweeney and Christie Peters) at the winter convocation. Christmas vacation did not last long enough for most. All too soon, it was back to U.S. History (Fribley must be notorious by now!) and, of course, all looked forward to those term papers...uh, oh yeah, documented essays; In the academic area. John Seyerle and Andy Kendrick surpassed the rest of the class with their scores of 99% on the PSAT. Leah Byrnes led the girls' basketball team and was later named to the All- Conference team. Brian Clark, Icemen captain, scored the most points as his team took fourth place state honors. Spring Break brought all some great pictures, new friends, and treasured memories. Looking Wonderful Tonight, juniors enjoyed their first prom. Times that won’t be forgotten...but will be cherished. by Michelle New land DanPtyboo Memorizing the narration for Follies takes much time and commitment.

Suddenly, the cafeteria fills with a mixture of laughter and applause. The girl's face turns a very bright shade of red as she tries to mix in with the crowd which gathered around her. This or something as bad has happened to almost all students ranging from incidents of dropping food and falling down stairs or the coundess cases of dropped books. There is the occasional time when someone dresses in the same outfit as one of their friends. There is also, of course, the person who, for some unexplained reason, falls down in the middle of the hallway. There are some who are blessed and none of these things have ever happened to them, but then those students who are less fortunate have to worry about making excuses for their strange conduct. Making excuses is always fun because it gives a person the chance to be creative with their misfortunes. Excuses have a very wide range. For instance, some people can blame it on their shoes, or they can just say, I meant to do that Sometimes, a person will apologize and say, I'm tired today. A person once fell down the stairs near the deans office, he got up, gathered his books and said, Wow, that was fun! Another case involved Senior Brian Lane. I fell down the stairs in the middle of the cafeteria and scattered my books all up and down the stairs. I got up and had to walk back up the stairs gathering my books as I went up. Then I had to walk back down and face the people below. I got my underwear caught in my zipper once and the zipper wouldn't come undone so I had to walk around all day with my zipper down, one sophomore said. Embarrassing moments happen to almost everyone. Some are worse than others but then no one can expect perfection. by Travis Ames Hoit-L kit s Junior� 133 Jade Holt Kathy Hounshell Angie Hubbell Shawn Huckaby Greg Huff Jeny Hughes Gerald Huntington Tom Husmann Rob Ingram Linda Jacobs Angela Jaggers Jeffery Jaggers Becky Jarvis Matt John Teresa Johnson Jerome Johnson-Bey Todd Jones Aaron Jones-Bey Aaron Joslin Eric Kehl Amy Keller Andy Kendrick Marc Killian Rhonda King Jennifer Kinman Stephanie Kinman Traci Kuppler Jimmy Lee Keith Lentz Amy Leonard Chris Lewis Jim Line Katie Lockhart Christopher Lowe Chris Lowell Darren Lucas Kim Lucas Jenny Luzius Lori Lykins Malt Lykins Y)j iet center offers sensible approach to dieting Trying to shed those unwanted pounds and inches? The key is a healthy balance between exercise and good eating habits. The Diet Center of Columbus offers a common sense approach to dieting that includes all the basic food groups, and, yes, even fats. Here are some tips they offer: drink water - it will fill you up - cleanse your system and keep your skin and hair healthy; eat three balanced meals a day - starvation never works; include some healthy snacks and diet with a friend to give each other positive reinforcement Of course, one must do some form of exercise at least three times a week, and keep busy to avoid the temptation of eating. Last, but not least, make a commitment - only you can do it. Although peer pressure is a major problem, one can still keep good eating habits to maintain or lose weight, Karen Coffman, school nurse, said. Diseases such as anorexia and bulimia are becoming an ever increasing problem among today's youth, especially girls. Both these diseases are nervous disorders, or mental illnesses, that are not curable, but controllable through therapy. It begins as a normal diet many of us follow to take off a few pounds and get in shape. Unfortunately, for a growing number of girls the diet gets out of hand. Fear of fatness becomes an obsession, Coffman said. The National Anorexic Aid Society's conservative estimate is 100,000 girls in the U. S., or about one girl in 200, are thought to be anorexic, but, because most don't voluntarily seek treatment, experts aren't sure how many there really are. Some of anorexia's characteristic symptoms are: a loss of 25% or more of body weight; a refusal to eat even when hungry; continuous thoughts about food (especially sweets); cessation of menstruation; and, a feeling of certainty that no matter how much you weigh, you are fat. Unfortunately, many people think thinness is glamorous, but, when it takes anorexia and bulimia to be thin, it is not by Beth Pigg Tina Lynch Brandon Lynn Tim Malan Carrie Malcom Kelly Malcom Mall Mankin Dennis Marshall Michele Martin Shannon Marlin John Maitoccia Angie Maullcr Bryan McFarland James McQueary Aaron McQueen Glen McQueen Dusty Medaris Max Mensendiek Lisa Meredith Pal M off alt Goldie Moody Cathy Morrison Angie Moss David Mullis Jennifer Myers Kathleen Nead Sieve Nelson Michelle Newland Alicia Newton Susan Nichols Rebecca Nickoll Jerry Ogle Aaron Olte 134 U union! ,yn b-Ott n n Terry One Todd Owwi Amy Pmta Debbie Payne Amy Perkin Christie Peter Heather Peter Daniel Petro Michael Pigg Leann Potter Adam Preston Mike Proffitt Don Rettig Brian Rice Jason Rice Adrienne Richey Nick Rittman Gale Robbins Pam Roberts Leslie Rodgers Glenn Roesaler Jennifer Roger Kristin Runge Susan Rutan Laura Ryan Joseph Sage Denise Sandhage Kevin Schroeder Glenda Schurman Amber Seifert April Seifert John Seyerle Amy Sharpe Maurice Shaw Phillip Shaw David Sheperd Abe Skinner Lisa Skinner Chris Smith Lora Smith Michelle Smith Stephanie Smith John Snyder Lone Snyder Ron Snyder Curtis Spaugh Curt Spurgeon Tanjanna Spurlin Chris Stahl Tonya Starks Cara Steinkamp Matt Steinwedel Violet Stephens Amy Stewart Susanne Stickles Harold Stott Stephanie Stotts John Sturgill Sally Sullivan Brian Sweany Lisa Tarry Sue Tekulve Kristie Tempest Randal Tempest Angie Temple Christine Tertocha Tim Thomas Chad Thompson Kimberly Thompson Kris Thompson Troy Todd Yen Tran Otti Tf mJJwuorj 135 [W ettschurack trains for long rides Struggling up the hill, the rider pushes harder on the pedals. The wildly whipping wind brings tears to his eyes. Getting to the top of the hill, he sees the Pacific Ocean. He's finally done it! He has ridden from the Atlantic Ctean to the Pacific Ocean in just five weeks. This is Junior Darin Wettschurack's dream. Since he started riding more than two years ago, he and his friend. North Senior Doug Harter, have wanted to ride with the Wandering Wheels from coast-to- coast. Wandering Wheels is a church-oriented group. For five weeks during the summer they pedal their way across the country. I think the best reason for Darin to do this is because it will strengthen him. He will have more confidence in himself because he accomplished this, Pat Wettschurack, Darin’s mother, said. Wettschurack learned about Wandering Wheels from a friend who took the trip last year. He would like to ride with them in order to see the country. I think it would be a great experience, Wettschurack said. To get into shape for this venture, Wettschurack rides his 12-speed Panasonic 25 miles after school and on weekends, weather permitting. He prefers riding on country roads so he can try to get lost. The roads leading to Hope offer the greatest challenge with their abundance of hills and curves. Not only is biking great exercise and the current rage, It's a lot of fun, very entertaining. I could spend more time at it than I actually do, Wettschurack said. Biking does have its disadvantages. According to Wettschurack, vehicles driving along the roads and wrecks are the worst He has not had any bad run-ins with cars or any terrible accidents, but the possibility is there. Therefore, on his longer rides Wettschurack wears a helmet. My mother makes me, he joked. Liking the solitude and the peace of the outdoors, he often rides on the spur of the moment, but he does enjoy riding with friends. Wettschurack said to get into biking it takes persistence, but it is worth it. by Lisa Tuttle Dutch Wr� y Getting into shape for those long rides takes a great deal of hard work and persistence. Junior Darin Wettschurack begins his after-school workout so he can fulfill his dream.

The problem doesn’t stop with snide remarks, though. Continually pushing glasses up on their noses bothers some people. However, others have found a solution by wearing contact lenses. Contacts allowed students to shed the problems that go with glasses-not seeing out of the comers of their eyes or at their feet and constantly having sores on their ears and nose. Contacts tend to be expensive, ranging from $200 to $560, but students believe they're worth it. I hated my glasses! Contacts are much more comfortable, not as much of a hassle, and you never get those stupid sores, Jenny Marshall, sophomore, said. Contacts come in many different styles and with each new style a new price. Hard contacts are the oldest style, take the longest for the wearers eyes to adjust to, but are the cheapest, $200. Daily wear soft contacts are the most common, need to be taken out every night, and cost around $250. Extended wear soft contacts are the newest style. They only need to be taken out once a month and cost $350. Bifocal contacts are treated like daily wear contacts and cost $560. Contacts rid their wearer of the nuisance of glasses, yet even the smallest things cause irritations. Dust, dirt, eyelashes, or stray hairs can cause contact wearers to suddenly blink rapidly, get watery eyes, and to start Fiddling with their eyes. My eyesight isn't so bad that I can't see without my contacts, so I took them out to go riding. I emptied the solution out of the case because I thought my contacts were in my eyes. The solution and both of the contacts went down the drain, Erik Branstad, senior, said. Contacts tend to fall off of the wearers finger when they're trying to put them in. Contact wearers just learn to live with it. I had my contact on my finger to put it back in when a wind came along and blew it off. I was in the fourth grade and on the playground. All of my friends were looking for it, Sarah McCollough, sophomore, said. Some students wear contacts because they felt they would look better. You know the saying ’guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses?’ Well, I have contacts, McCollough said. Others got them simply because they hated their glasses. Contacts do have their drawbacks. But to get rid of your glasses, it's definitely worth it! Marshall said. by Sherri Arthur to wearers NtcoN BirdweD It takes steady hands and control over blinking to put a contact lense in an eye. Junior Chris Lowe gently puts his finger to his eye to do this delicate task. Before putting in her contact lense. Junior Michele Fager checks to make sure that it is right-side up. It is a good idea to do this each time because putting the contact in wrong causes much pain. Jumor Feature!Juniors 137 y f Ds ophomores receive recognition The sophomore class had many reasons for recognition including several people participating in contests around the state. The class of 1990 had several girls on the junior varsity cheerleading squad including Kim Moore, Ashley Risk, Alison Kyle, Nikki Thomas, Stephanie Taylor, Jenny Marshall, Sharri Smith, and Gina Yeley. As a reward for good behavior East had a Christmas convocation in which each class selected two representatives, aptly named Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The Clauses had to compete in many contests, including a poem writing contest. The sophomore class Santas were Denise Campbell and Brent Pelley. Although the seniors won the contest the sophomore class placed third. The sophomore class had a few players on the varsity football team including Peter Manowitz and Brent Pelley. Several people, including Chad Brummett participated in the Indiana Math League contest The sophomore class officers were Susan Bannister, Mihir Patel, Heather Rhoades, and Alison Kyle. The officers were elected by a class vote. Five Outstanding Olympian awards went to sophomores, too. Those winning awards were Katie Hand, All-State Choir; Rod Schroeder and Shawn McNealy, FFA Soil Judging Contest; Monica Wirth earned an honorable mention in the Scholastic Art Contest; and Shawn Starkey won a gold key in the Scholastic Art Show. Among other things, the sophomore class had to deal with the ISTEP testing, which lasted for over two hours on each of the testing days. Fortunately, the test had little effect on grade placement for the sophomores as it did with the lower grades. by Travis Ames N'icofal Budwell Since the locker level was closed, students had to gather on the gallery level during lunch mods.

Sophomore Kenny Chavis enjoys bowling. Chavis has been bowling for eight years. He said, I got interested in bowling when I was seven. I used to go to the bowling alley with my dad and grandpa. With bowling comes tournaments. Chavis participated in a 1979 tournament in Richmond, Indiana. He placed 19th in the state in his age group. When asked what he usually scores, Chavis said, I average around 169. Chavis said he usually spends $140 to $150 a year on bowling, depending on whether or not he joins a league. Having his own ball and shoes helps too. Bowling can be fun, but, if you want to be good, it takes a lot of practicing, said Chavis. Practice has been a problem for Chavis though. He had surgery on his leg two years ago. Due to complications he has had to limit the use of his leg. Chavis has great hopes, though, for the future. He faces another surgery after the school year is over and, then I should be in good shape. I’m looking forward to bowling again, Chavis said. by John Hatter Each bowler's style of following through is different. After Sophomore Kenny Chavis releases the bowling ball, he follows through with his own unique style.

Of the four million twins in America, one in every 260 is identical. Most twins will say that the bond between them, be it negative or positive, is very intense-as strong as any between two people. Sixteen year old sophomores and identical twins, Tammy and Sonya Brown, will admit that they aren’t best friends. She has her friends and I have mine, Sonya said. We do share secrets but not like we do with our other friends, Tammy said. They may look alike but their personalities are like black and white. Sonya says it how it is, Tammy said. I'll keep things to myself. Tammy said she received the quieter personality as opposed to her sister's outgoing one. Sonya agreed with her by referring to herself as a tomboy and her sister as a lady. At a younger age the Browns dressed alike, acted alike, and hung around the same people. At a certain age they had the same likes and dislikes, but they started developing their own personalities at about ten, Ruth Brown, the twins' mother, said. Both of the twins said that advantages and disadvantages come with being a twin. They can share clothes and they always have someone to talk to. But they don't like being compared to each other. I'm my own person and she's hers, Sonya said. It is often said that identical twins think on the same wave length. If something happens to one, it's liable to happen to the other. This happened to the Brown twins at a younger age. Tammy ran into a wall divider and it took five stitches to sew her forehead. Upon returning home, Mrs. Brown discovered that Sonya had a scar on her forehead, in the same place. by Laura Ryan Sttvt Small Despite the many differences in their personalities, Sophomore twins Sonya and Tammy Brown work together at Wendy’s restaurant.

In the past five years Burnett encountered some 'scary' situations. I can remember one of my first races, my bike got stuck in mud, my dad had to come out on the track and pull me out, Burnett said. In addition to some scary situations, Burnett suffered a few injuries too. I was coming around a comer, and the front end of the bike flew over the berm (mound of dirt) and I lost my balance and fell. The bike landed on my leg and fractured it I got back up and started it (the bike) with the leg I fractured. Burnett is one of the youngest qualifiers for National Racing. I have a lot of pressure from racing against older people. Burnett continued, I sometimes get nervous at the starting line knowing that it is not going to be easy. Burnett's best friend, Ryan Ellis, sophomore, works with Burnett at every race and helps him prepare. Rob improved so much in this last year, it’s great, Ellis said. Ellis videotapes the majority of his races. He also helps Burnett with the bike and works with him in practice. I'm really impressed at how he is handling a bigger (motorcross) bike, Ellis said. Troy, Ohio; Clarksville, Tennessee; Uniontown, Indiana; and Terre Haute, Indiana are just a few places Burnett raced this year. He's competed in about 70 races thus far in his career. Each weekend 1 race costs about $120 to $150. Racing equipment is also a lot of money. I spend about $800. If it wasn’t for my parents supporting me I wouldn't be racing, Burnett said.

But for Sophomore Lincoln Probst flying through the air at top speed in his remote control airplane has more thrills. It looked really cool to do, so I said why not! said Probst. Probst got started in airplanes when he was at a friend's house and saw two big remote control airplanes in their garage. It didn’t take more than an hour to convince Probst that this was his destiny. My first airplane was out of a catalog. It was made out of foam, and real cheap, so if it broke it wouldn't matter, Probst said. Building it was half the battle, with minor details such as getting small wires in place and painting the cover. The hardest part for me was getting the engine right, Probst said. But after all these technicalities, it was finished and, with the help of a veteran flier and a few false starts, Probst was flying his plane. But it didn't stop there. Probst decided flying remote airplanes wasn't enough. He started flying real airplanes. I was really nervous, Probst said, It's a heck of a lot different than driving. After taking lessons, Probst has spent 12 hours up in the air, which, according to Probst, isn’t much. Personally, I feel safer because I’m in control, Probst said, ”1 really do feel safe up there. by Darren Trautman Joe Eaeobreua Apart from flying airplanes, Sophomore Lincoln Probsi works on a superconducting photocell to produce electricity from solar energy.

However, these fabulous freshmen have turned that fear around and made it into fame. Four freshmen, Becca Kreinop, Nina McKale, Scott Begley, and David Rayburn were named the 1988 Fall Homecoming Freshman representatives. Everyone will remember the '88 Homecoming festivities that measured up as one of the highlights . The cross country team consisted of many talented underclassmen. Running on girls' varsity were Kristina Giovanini and Chaille Lutes. Freshmen on boys’ varsity were David Rayburn and Kevin Taylor. The day before Christmas, a convocation with competition among all four classes took place. Lance Barker and Aimee Eckrote were named freshman representatives. Katrina Runge and Kari Clark were named Outstanding Olympians for advancing to state competition in a swimming medley relay. In a speech meet, Megan John placed fourth out of 45 in the area of radio broadcasting. Talent, dedication, and hard work best described the gymnastics team. Many hours of practice paid off as the girls set and improved personal best scores throughout the year. An outstanding gymnast, Emily Keller, broke the school record on the balance beam with a score of 9.05. The varsity basketball team had a surprising starter, too, Lance Barker. His success gave athletes and fans alike a hope that hard work and time would bring the glory days of basketball back to East. by Beth Pigg Nicokl BirdwtB Freshmen friends Heather Lykins and Becky Quackenbush enjoy some fun times together as they get a break from class during lunch.

Now, with a total of eight banks, Brett estimated a $500 value for his collection. These banks, made of cast iron, once sold as novelty items as early as the 1800’s. Each bank has a different way to deposit the money. With one (of the banks) you put the money in the guy’s hand. Then you push a lever and he puts the coins into his mouth, Brett explained. The value of Brett s banks continues to grow; each of the six replica banks is worth about $45, while the two original banks would reportedly bring a few hundred dollars. Brett's parents tell him to hang on to them because someday they'll be worth something, Brett said. After looking at the banks everyone wants to try them.

That may sometimes be true, but not always. We provide a service for problems. We help with lockers, occasional home problems, personal problems, stealing in school, and disagreements with other students, Ray Dilk, Dean of Students, said. Dilk has been a Dean for 19 years. One of a deans many responsibilities is protection of students. We're here for the safety of the students. We deal with the police at times when there are tmancy problems, but our job exists for the safety of the student body, Dilk said. We assist teachers with discipline problems, bus problems, and vocational problems. Sometimes the mere physics of [East vocational students] being over [at North] causes problems that we have to deal with,” Dilk said. Of all the areas a dean deals with, disciplinary problems take up a majority of time. About 60-70 per cent of our job is strictly discipline. About 50 per cent of that is with freshmen due to their immaturity, Dilk said. Deans tackle several disputes and problems every mod of the day. We try to deal with the students as fairly and reasonably as possible by talking to them, Dean Jim Wilhelm said. Our purpose is not to hassle anybody, although students will probably disagree with that. We try to keep them in their classes and prevent problems, Dilk said. Patience is not on the list of requirements for the job of dean, but it helps. Besides having to have a counselor's or administrator's license, you have to be someone interested in kids, someone who wants to work with kids, someone who's fair, and can be tough when they need to be, Dilk said. Dilk has a sign on his office bulletin board which acts as a guideline for his job. It allows people to see that Dilk does not hate them for their actions. It's often difficult to separate a person and what he does. If you can’t separate the two then the person has to go, but I don’t dislike a person for what they do. It's the action that I don’t like, Dilk said. by Teresa King ChruTuldt Dean Ray Dilk often interacts with students during lunch mods to become better acquainted with the student body. Dilk believes his job is to protect the students and provide services for them.

They provide a chance to show off one's horse and riding ability. A great amount of time, effort, money, and practice go into one show. Michelle Mullholand, freshman, has shown in the arena many times. This will be her fourth year showing her two horses, Jonathan and River Pride, at the 4-H fairgrounds. Getting prepared for a show requires just as much effort as the show itself. Before every show I have to wash and groom the horse and braid its mane. Then I have to clean and polish the saddle and bridle, Mullholand said. Michelle's mother, Christine Mullholand, is very proud of the way Michelle takes responsibility in getting ready. Since I’m afraid of horses, I don’t help Michelle get ready. I’m really proud of the way Michelle gets everything together all by herself.” Training a horse takes a great deal of time and skill. I have to ride every day in the spring, and I have to be very strict with the horse, no goofing-off allowed! Mullholand said. Expenses also add to the problems of a show. The average saddle (brand new) costs about $700, Christine Mullholand said, and it usually costs between $2 and $5 for each show you enter your horse in. Even though shows are hard and sometimes scary, Michelle loves what she does. It's a lot of fun. I remember one time I was riding and the saddle fell off... with me in it! Michelle believes that all the effort you put in is worth it in the end. Shows are generally nerve-wracking, aggravating, and tiring for the rider, but, when you win, all the hard work pays off and gives you a feeling of happiness and satisfaction. by Heather Gutenberger Many hours of training and preparation make up Freshman Michelle Mullholand's days. She participates in many horse shows which lake much effort, time and money. Taking first place honors at the Indiana Slate Fair, Michelle Mullholand shows off her prize winning horse.

A wards C losing 189 ££ hi e many would return to the familiar halls and classrooms, seniors had seen the last of messy lockers, activity days, resource assignments, and morning announcements. When the bell rang on May 27 at 3:23 p.m. and the students had all gone, the only reminder of the year was a locker level flooded with large group notes, copies of MacBeth, old folders, and candy wrappers. But before that, there were nine months of school giving each person days filled with fun times with friends and maybe not-so-fun times in large group classes. Senior Abby Shafer It'd be kind of fun to do it all over again, because some things you'd do differently but some things you wouldn't dare change... 1 Junior ' Kerry Forbes I'm ready to be a senior, but it's going to be scary to start looking for colleges and thinking about doing everything for the last time. With a cheerful smile, Senior Cori Davis, a member of Conceit Choir, delivers a singing telegram. Tunes and Balloons was used as a fund raiser for the choral department. 190IC losing Waiting for friends. Junior Craig Bryant and Seniors James Shipp and Jason White clown around after a basketball game. After games, many people went to Burger King or Noble Roman's to meet friends. Closing 191 Riding approximately 50 miles each weekend, Junior Steve Nelson and Juniors David Britt and Matt Meek spend free time cycling and training at Cereiand. The three are interested in organizing a racing team at East. The end of the day was a welcome relief to many. Friends Teresa Bates and Veronica Tackett, seniors, met after school to lake a break from the day's work. £ ithough spring signaled the end of winter, it was also the beginning of many events adding fun to the final weeks of school, including Spring Break, when many headed south with family and friends; the Variety Show, which gave many an opportunity to be in the spotlight; the prom, where everyone dressed up for a wonderful night; and graduation, when many said goodbye to friends and ended their high school careers. East had become a special home to each student. Even though some would face college or careers, others would return for more high school training. No matter the direction everyone took with them the last words,'We Made It! This was probably my easiest year of my high school career. It offered a break because I didn't have to take history. Sophomore Scott Hollinger Doing well in school and track this year has been exciting and an ego boost. Doing the hard school work and tunning hard workouts helped me because it gave me self- confidence. In April, students from various classes touted the Indianapolis An Museum.

Special Thanks From the many headaches encountered at deadline time to the first look at our finished product, the 1988 Altis would not have been possible without the help of many people who made it all worthwhile. We would first like to thank Dan Niles for putting up with all of our groaning and complaining about deadlines, and for his special black pen that never seemed to go away. We would also like to thank Larry Glaze, our Herff Jones Yearbook representative, for all of his advice and help. Our special thanks goes to Susan Adams for her endless job of typing for us; to Casey Cordry for his hard work in producing a colorful and unique cover; to Linda Galbraith and John Rhoades for their help. We also thank Phil Allen from Cameo Color, The Republic for the use of their photos, the staff of the 1988 Altis for all of their hard work, Tony Campbell for all of the excitement he brought to the publications room, the Oracle staff for giving up computers when we were on deadline, and all of our special friends who put up with us and helped us through the hard work that went into producing this book. offers so nvin actiyW� ic hel| emerft WHng the rootbafl Season vfl.cn the (Vs were ranked second mthf state� ,Viter hrtffibtfjcold � vfelcumed ”iti tV ni-lVKi i'J I 11 p.sur i� s har8(y.ke dwake;c ci;iHy.aftera;Uw!JMMken Jnf .� 1u hest fin, :s- cmibktt the ifialls lodkibj foV cufegkfeiSeto.il wm Wt«sS.in Se Nr � hen all flu;
