As defined by Webster, life is the period from birth to death. At East Gaston, student life is much more than that. Students are in- volved in sports, organiza- tions, and classes.

Mainly, it is WILD because of its spontanaity but there are also sad, confusing, bor- ing, happy, and fun times! The student life at E.G. is WILD. Hopefully this sec- tion will help you to remem- ber all the good times that students experienced. No time to talk. Jeremy Webb makes the most of his favorite time of the day.

The life of a student is a hec- tic chain of events that range from spending time with friends to gaining an educa- tion of life itself.

Anything from pep rallies to dances is offered. 4'There has been much more school support this year than in the past, says senior Rusty Allen.

Of course it does. A Pep Rally is an important part of life at East Gaston. According to East Gaston senior Jimmy Forrester a pep rally's pur- pose is to boost our team's spirit and let them know that the warriors are behind them. Of the four pep rallies we have had this year fone more than last year, by the wayl, certain cheers seem to be common. Are You Ready , Watcha Gonna Do To- night'? , and I say East seem to be the favorities. These are the cheers that get the most response from everyone says cheerleading co-captain Karen Hovis. The oldest cheers are not al- ways the favorities though. The Funky Chicken has developed an almost cult fol- lowing this year so do not be surprised to see it at future pep rallies. By the time the Alma Mater rolls around the band and the cheerleaders have once again managed to work the crowd into a frenzy. Dion and Company make their contribution to the pep rally.

Each day promotes stu- dent participation with any- thing from taking a trip back in time to dressing as your favorite hero. I really like to see people get involvedf' says Student Council Vice- President Karen Hovis, I think it says a lot about the school spirit that exists here at East Gaston. Also during this week, clubs are organized, money is taken up for the spirit cup, and candidates for Home- coming Queen anxiously await the moment of truth. The variety of events are vast and appeal to every walk of life. A Dx .A ..

On the night of May 8, 1987, the students ascended the escalator from the luxu- rious lobby of the Radisson Hotel to the ballroom which was magically trans- formed into the Stairway to Heaven for East Gaston Juniors and Seniors and their guests. The theme and decorations were coordinat- ed by Mr. Scruggs, Mr. Loftis and members of the Junior class. Hours were spent on picking out gowns and tux- edos, making dinner reser- vations and taking care of all of these Hlast minute details. Female dress ranged from Cinderella Southern Bell to Manhat- tan sequined glamour. Guys wore black tuxs with coor- dinated cumberbund or matching colored tuxs. Din- ner reservations were at some of Charlotte's fancier restaurants such as Slug's Thirtieth Edition, The Drawbridge and others. Many couples and groups of friends arrived in rented limousines with chauffers. Hlt was worth every bit of the preparation, stated Heather Horton. The Fantastic Shakers entertained with beach mu- sic and some of the top for- ty hits of the day. All who attended cherished the eve- ning spent with either friends or that Usomeone special. Claxton Graham is contem- plating asking that special someone for the next dance. The Fantastic Shakers provided great dancing music for the 1987 Jr.-Sr. Prom.

Students were intro- duced to new ideas, such as the voucher system, new technology, like the comput- er lab and closed-circuit tele- vision in every class. WEGS News is presented every morning by closed-circuit tele- vision. Announcements are made by members of the stu- dent body. Chairs were reupholstered The walls were repainted with laven dar in the media center This is just one of the many improve ments made throughout the school this year m , 1 Improvements were made on the existing facilities with the replacement of uphol- stery and carpet in the li- brary, and new paint throughout the school. We also met the new assis- tant principal, Mr. Wallace and witnessed his productive contributions to the school.

This innovation is designed to promote good will, give recognition and praise to those who earn it. Another new edition to our school came in the form of a new assistant principal, Mr. Wallace. Many students go to the cafete- ria to meet during break to sit and talk. Stephanie Reid, Tawana Rankin, Carla A1- exander, Mickey Johnson, and Dardi Rozzelle enjoy a few moments together.

Of those that have after-school jobs, most will agree that it does inter- fere With one's schoolwork. It's hard when you have to go to school all day and then to work all night. You don't have time for much else, says Shelley Harkey, a cash- ier at Food Lion. While mon- ey may be the root of all evil, it is also the root of all hard Work and no one under- stands the excess of hard work coupled with the lack of money better than high school students. Being on the bottom rung of the work or- der means that young people get the jobs no one else wants. The younger you are, the harder it is for you to find a good job, says Karen M. Hovis. While money is usually the reason for work- ing, experience is one of its unexpected benefits. After high school andfor college, students who have already worked are a step ahead of those just entering the work force.

However, many other ideas were offered, such as going back to the old school colors, having off campus lunches, more school spirit, and Sun- drop and hot chocolate ma- chines. AIDS won by a landslide for potentially hazardous to the environment andfor hu- man race situation.

The year of 1987-88 brought a series of political and religious scandals that shocked the American pub- lic. The rash of moral situa- tions began with the fall in power of Jim and Tammy Bakker, founders of the PTL network and Heritage, USA. The Bakkers fled PTL when it was revealed that Jim Bakker had had a sexual en- counter with church secre- tary, Jessica Hahn. The feuding and accusations con- tinued throughout the year between the Bakkers, Jerry Falwell Ctemporary head of PTLJ, PTL officials, and Vir- tually all of the western world. On the political front, presidential hopeful Gary Hart dropped his bid for the presidency when it was dis- covered that he had commit- ed adultery with aspiring God, Sex, And Politics 1987-88 Proves That The Three Do Not Mix Miami actress and model, Donna Rice. Senator Joseph Biden was next to withdraw when it was revealed that he had plagiarized a campaign speech by British Labour Party Leader Neil Kinnock. Then it was revealed that two top aides of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis has exposed Biden's plagia- rism and undermined his campaign, which Dukakis promptly denied. The next politicians to get blasted were the Supreme Court nominees. Nominee number one, Robert Bork. What it boiled down to was the typical right-wing radi- cals vs. left-wing liberals bat- tle that Americans have grown so used to. Bork, a for- mer socialist, raised fears as to the unusual ways he may apply fundamental princi- ples of the constitution. Af- ter four months of fierce de- bating, zealous vote- plugging, and mass participation on both sides of the political fence, Bork was defeated. Nominee number two, Douglas Ginsberg. Along with various other charges, Ginsberg was accused of in- experience, a conflict of in- terest over an investment, destruction of Justice De- partment documents, and improperly side-tracking laws limiting the use of as- bestos, but the final blow to his nomination was his con- fession that he had smoked pot in the 60's as a college student fgaspll. 1987-88 were banner years for covert operations. Father and son spy team, John and Michael Walker, were sen- tenced to a total of two life terms, one twenty-five year term, and three ten ye terms for leaking Naval i telligence to the KGB.

We be fee East Gaston In 1787, ten years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, our forefa- thers created what has been called the greatest single document struck off by the hand and mind of man , the Constitution of the United States. It is difficult to imag- ine that a brand new nation could conceive of and set up a working government that would last, and even flour- ish, for two hundred years, when you consider that none of the more powerful, longer established nations of the world had to that date even come close to accomplishing this. But it happened. For the first time in histo- P Commemorates The Constitution Of The United States. ry, the power to control their own destinies was freely giv- en to the people. They were forever free to decide for themselves which laws were in their own best interest. This freedom gave Ameri- cans the opportunity to fully develop their abilities and to make this nation the greatest on earth. The thing most peculiar about the Constitution is that it, like America itself, is a continual experiment. It is forever changing to meet the needs and attitudes of its people while still maintain- ing its basic structure. To il- lustrate how thorough our founding fathers were in their foresight of America's future, only sixteen Amend- ments to the Constitution have been added since the Bill of Rights was added in 1791. Our Constitution was built to last. And it has. This year East Gaston honored the Constitution in celebration of America's two- hundredth anniversary. Wil- ma Craig, Laurel Hicks and Carol Rhinehardt of the Commission on the Bicen- tiennial of the United States Constitution gave an oral presentation over the school's new closed circuit televisions on the creation of the constitution. They also presented the school with a print of the Signing of th Constitution by Altons Td bey. A copy of the Constitutio was passed around eac classroom and each studen signed it. We watched t Nation's celebration on tel vision with special present tions by the ABC networ We celebrate the two hu dredth anniversary of ou country as a nation, let us r member that there is no bei ter way for us to honor th Constitution by which w live than to learn more abou it East Gaston students are proud of their heritage because it makes the United States what it is today.

Every student must have four years of this course to graduate. So - what is it that a student has to do in English? Well, you must read books, write papers, and learn grammar. Not so hard you say. For the seniors, however, the writing of pa- pers means trouble. They don't write just any kind of paper. They have to write a term paper, which, as Leah McGinnis said, Has made my life a living nightmare. The English Department of East Gaston keeps each course interesting by having each course read books from different time periods and different countries. English isn't the only lan- guage offered at East Gaston. We also have Espanol, Fran- cais, and Deutsch. These classes teach not only about the grammar of each lan- guage, but also about the cul- ture of the countries where each language is spoken. Mrs. Lambert's class doesn't just learn German grammar. Her students learn about the country also. Look familiar? Tyrone Mc- . n . Dowell, like many stude ts, 1 S studying for an upcoming test.

There are also courses in Psychology and Sociology. Each course in the Social Studies Department deals with people in one way or an- other. All of the histories Ccurrent events includedl deal with people in the past or present. They tell of how our countries were founded, their way of life, their lan- guages - their cultures. A group in Mrs. Tedder's 6th period is going through the pa- per. They are going to discuss the events of the day later in class. Psychology and Sociology deal with people's behavior and attitude. As a whole, the Social Studies Department deals with people and teaches about people. It helps to pre- pare us for our future lives.

In East Gaston's science and math departments, there are a wide variety of courses. Studentes can take simple sciences or Chemistry II! Students can also take any- thing from General or Con- sumer Math to Advanced Math or Calculus. At the beginning of the second semester, teachers as- sign math and science pro- jects. By doing these pro- jects, students can better their grades or win a prize in the county fair.

The math and science courses offered at East Gas- ton all provide a great learn- ing experience for all of the students.

Tired Of Sitting? v JL ' U' J cami Jim At East Gaston High School, vocational courses play a big part in a student's education. Every student must take at least one voca- tional course in order to graduate, with any kind of diploma. Vocational courses may vary from Typing I and Home Economics to Auto Mechanics and Carpentry. Many people say that some of the courses are ex- tremely easy, but the voca- tional courses take reading and development and prac- tice of a skill in order for the student to be prepared for a chosen vocation. As Brian Wyant, a junior, says, It's not that the courses are hard, it's that you have to know what you're doing to be succesful. A great deal of it is 'hands-on' training. There will always be a dif- ference in opinion about vo- cational courses. Either easy or hard, they will prepare a person for life in the long run. Getting a physical education can be hard work. It is not all sweat, though. It can be a lot of fun! Heather McAlpine and Tammy Bethune are prepar- ing for their future by learning about computers. W W 'Ti I AW, 2 iv S 1 - 4.

Warrior Week A lwiiujiilylfu The Week of Septem- ber 28 through October 2 was a week of fun at East Gaston. We have the Student Council to thank for that. They ar- ranged What We would wear or do each day. They also arranged the Homecoming Dance. Over half of the student body attended this sec- ond dance of the '87-'88 school year which made it a success. The Student Coun- cil's jobs range from selling drinks at the dances to making stu- dent I.D.,s. Being a good example for the student body of East Gaston is the main goal of the group. They represent us and have our views in mind. Bill Robinson had this to say about be- ing president of the Stu- dent Council. Accepting the office of President bestowed upon me honor, respect and responsibility. Reaching the expecta- tions of the year has been a difficult duty. In the end, I hope we will think this year was a re- flection of our dreams. Thank you for the privi- lege of representing the superior students at East Gaston. I will al- ways remember the times involved. I appre- ciate the moments. t'He's mine! 'KNO I saw him first!,' Beverly Devinney, Alex Bynum, Cissy Wyant, Christy Burger, and Barron Brown dressed up for 50's and 60's Day during Warrior Week.

The Yearbook fiQGl.a.3E!.g'3S Please buy an Ad from us! is a saying that the year- book staff learned to say this year. Going one on one with an owner or manager and asking for money was some- thing that was hard for all of us. But is it really worth it? Yes, I think it is worth all the time and effort! was what Tiffney Currence answered when asked that question. She also said A lot of changes are being made and I hope the student body likes them. Along with these changes come deadlines to meet. Most of the staff members said they could do without After the deadline has been met, Tisha Barnes, Marla Kil- lian, and Wende Faulk greet the camera with smiling faces. them. '6Deadlines are starting to drive me crazy. Jennifer Rudisill said. You don't feel the pressure till about a week before the deadline. But by working together, ev- eryone gets to know other people. That is what team work is all about. I think by working to- gether we are getting to know each other. It's a great expe- rience! Kim Simmons stated.

Tammy Smith, one of the drum majors, states Consid- ering the number of new members and it being our first contest of the year, I feel we did well. The band puts in many hours of hard practice getting ready for each perfor- mance. They practice in the summer and every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 6:00. All of their efforts pay off. They have received sever- al superior ratings. In one in the Exhibition of Pride Com- petition in Elkin the band got a superior rating, the drum majors, drum line, and the majorettes had the highest score of the day.

Many outstanding perfor- mances were shown by this team. Robbie Hart led most of the sprinters to fine finishes against some tough Charlotte schools. Kelly Collins showed the way by leading the distance runners in many of the relay meets. The field events were espe- cially strong with Baron Brown at the high jump, Austin Faile throwing the discus, and competing in the long and triple jump was Harold Sanders.

Some teachers are leaving school to go back to college to get another de- gree. Also, some teachers are going to college to prepare to become an assistant princi- pal or maybe even a princi- pal.

V 1 Q K rl ' 1 x ix Poluils Qui J Has a sophomore ever approached you in the hall and calmly asked, Where's the swimming pool?,' Well, if you have been asked such a question then you're not alone. Most of the sophomores have caught on by now, but some of them are still gullible. Suzanne Rumfelt says, My sister went here last year, and she warned me ahead of time that there wasn't a pool. Another biggie for the sophomores is get- ting over the embarrassment of Mom hav- ing to bring them to school. Christy Mor- gan said, MI hate it when mom brings me to school in our car, A.K.A. The Bee. Speaking of embarrassing, imagine walk- ing into a senior class and being laughed at for 10 minutes. Matt Fox said, I walked in the wrong room on the first day. I was so embarrassed. With all the embarrassing things that have happened and could happen this year, the sophomores still feel that their first year as Warriors will be highly successful. soolmomoooo Stacy Caldwell Tisha Caldwell Daryl Campbell Kerry Campbell Tonya Cannon Karen Cathey David Carpenter Tammy Carpenter Jerry Carroll John Caison Robert Causby Chuck Chavers Chris Cheshire Tabatha Childers Rebecca Christopher Chad Clemmer David Clemmer Amy Cloniger Angel Clubb Karen Cole Kelly Coltharp Gerry Conley Tonya Cope Dewey Costner Lauren Cox Chuck Craig Jamie Cramer Kay Crisp Stephanie Crist Rochell Currence Bryan Davis Candie Davis Dominick Davis Keith Davis Tonya Davis Tonya Davis Chad Deason Justin Deatherage Greg Deen James Delorenzo Scott Denton Jodie Drake Jerry Drumm Chad Drury Kelly Duncan Tony Duncan David Duran Erik Eaker Tony Earnhardt Abeer Elkhouly Electa Eller Kim Ellis Joan Ellison Tammy English Shane Ervin Tim Evans Leigh Faile Hollandra Fair Duane Felton Daniel Fewell Keith Fisher Wesley Fisher Jerry Flood A EEE Thug TQQHQQES Qtr A PJIPQSLQBLLE We have accomplished many things this school year.

Do lparents usually stick to their decisions? Melanie Rhyne's mom usually for- gets about it or lets her off because she iis sorry for being so mean. How long are teenagers usually grounded for? Jenni- fer Rudisill is sometimes grounded for two weeks. The whole rap up of the deal tis that parents will ground as long as we give them a reason to ground us.

Lately much emphasis has been put on the problem of cheating. Everyone has had the chance to cheat, but the ques- tion is: should we? Few people think there is a serious problem of cheating. Some students feel that people will always find ways and reasons to cheat. Cheating is very common but seems to be an unstoppable en- emy. Most students agree that wanting to make good grades compels them to cheat but does that make it right?

It is tradition for seniors to have mixed emotions about leaving East Gaston. Some of you are happy that you are going to be out on your own. Kevin Barber says that he is happy to be getting out of school. Others are uneasy about leaving friends with only memories. Beth Mor- ton says that she's sad be- cause she's going to be leav- ing all the wonderful memories she had while at E.G. There are also people, like Lori Marlow, who are looking forward to graduat- ing, but are sad when they think that this is the last year that they may see some of their classmates. y l Amy D.

Mom, Dad, Becky, and Anna ka' V,h 1 ,X jig 3 w3 pQ Q V W lways Remembered In Our Hearts We should prepare for life. To live happy knowing that we have done our best. That is the idea of Christ. Perhaps all of us should ask ourselves if we are prepared for the re- ality of tomorrow. Have we done our part in life? Are we prepared for Christ by let- ting our lives be directed by his teachings? Life is filled with V many surprises, flat tires, pop tests, broken hearts, fires, floods, car wrecks and even spoiled chicken pies. Have you ever noticed how some people can cope with these annoyances and take them in stride, while others literally fold apart over these things. Could it be that those people who cope well have their pri- orities in order? Have they prepared themselves for the one thing in life that is cer- tain, a heavenly father that looks after us all? Yes, They are prepared in Christ. Are you prepared? I am not perfect. I am far from it. In fact, none of us are perfect in our thoughts, actions and instincts. We can't be perfect, but it doesn't hurt to try. Your ac- tions and thoughts will re- flect upon you. I have a terri- ble conscience. My inner self is always talking to me. It won't let me get away with anything. - Clay Dunsmore November 1987 Clayton Eugene Dunsmore December 30, 1970-December 29, 1987 A Special Thanks To: Mrs. L.

Mrs. Blackburn is always available for guidance and provides ample in- formation on numerous colleges to seniors to make their choices clear After twelve. years of school, seniors, .enjoy special recognition be- cause of their accom- plishments. Seniors share a feeling of pride as the underclassmen stand and watch them march into the gym. In no other grade has there been such a feeling of comradery. Seniors are part of a unit more than they are individual stu- dents. Paul Johnson, Brian Furr, Chuck Elmore, and Crystal Helton proudly display their senior shirts which they worked so hard to earn. to them. Mrs. Black- burn shows how she is never too busy for the seniors by helping Sta- cey Helms and Sandy Mitchell find some in- formation on some uni- versities they are inter- ested in.

And who could forget how expensive the prom can be? Sen- iors scrape the money together any way they can as Kevin Barber does one day during the lunch rush. l S Q . x Q I l II'he moment we have been wait- ng for for such along time is 'inally here and now we are not so sure we want to leave. We phought it would be the end and now we realize it is only the be- ginning. We may never see our Friends again but then we will make new ones and have many new experiences. We know now that our life is in our own hands as we stand at the crossroad of choices. We are happy, relieved, anxious, sad, hopeful, scared, tired, nervous, amorous, inex- tinguishable, disturbed, con- cerned, nauseous, goofy, and un- forgettable as we leave East Gaston Senior High to conquer the world! ,T .Z , I ,.y. , A '- a w X N..

As traditionfgoes, every year after graduation thousands of seniors head for the beach. Seniors start in January Csometimes earlierl houses to make reservations.

There is so much to do in so little time. Teachers, parents, colleges, and bosses all want a piece of your time and yet there has to be some time left to yourself to enjoy your senior year. Seniors wait pa- tiently for that alarm to sound on June 3 and keep peace of mind by remembering it is al- ways darkest before the dawn. 207 11111 :J Cjlfsmsilm - SJEEEQ QE 08583 The school year of 1987-88 has to come to an end, but we will always have memories that remain with us forever. Seniors will be leaving East Gaston, but they will take with them all of the memo- For most seniors, this last year means spending time with friends.
