The typical student grows and changes in many ways from the time he takes his first tentative steps into East as a sophomore to the time he strides confidently across the stage as a graduating senior. just as the individual students have evolved, so have the different facets of school life which surround them. In the earliest days of East High, students were never allowed to forget the reason that they went to school-learning. Academics, after being for many years the foremost of a student's priorities, began to fall behind sports and activities. However, after the release of the Nation at Risk educational report in 1983, pressures from within East and the community put the emphasis back on the pursuit of academic excellence. The tides of fortune have risen and fallen from year to year for the various East athletic teams, but in at least one way, evolution has effected sports. ln the early twenties, football and men's basketball were the only varsity sports at East. As time went on, several more sports were added, including a few for women. Now, in the days since Title IX, there are thirteen varsity sports at East, nine of which are open to women. Activities and clubs have not gone unaffected by the evolution that has changed students' lives elsewhere. The time has long since passed when school dances were always a formal affair. As the decades have passed, dances, as well as other activities, have grown more casual and open to the students' individuality. Clubs have evolved from out-of-class extensions of academic courses into a wide variety of clubs, exploring many of a student's curricular and extra-curricular interests. Evolution affected one final area, the administration, as East got a new principal and a new assistant principal. Diana Cub- bage replaced Dr. R. Larry Roberts as principal for the 1983-1984 school year, as Roberts left to become a financial planning consultant. Howard Moore was the new assistant prin- cipal in charge of attendance, filling the vacancy left when Roel Quintanilla took the place of Dr. Melva Owens. Scheduling and activities were the respective responsibilities of associate prin- cipal Sam Allen and assistant principal Roel Quintanilla. Without being aware of it, our lives as students at East have been subtly molded in many ways by this force called evolu- tion. Top lef?: The normal clutter of a busy principal's desk is now put aside. In this rare moment, Principal Diana Cubbage sits contentedly behind a clean, unclut- tered desk.

Aa'mz'mktnz!z'on X 3 Fashion fads are big t didn't matter whether it was jeans, a dress, mini skirts or jump suits that you wore to school, you'd fit in. Instead of just wearing a sweatshirt with jeans, why not cut the sleeves and collar off and drape it over your shoulder, like the Flashdance style? The fashion of wearing what you wanted was really shown here at East High. jeans that were also very popular were pin stripe jeans, or jeans of different colors and different lengths. Mini skirts of jean material and of cotton in bright colors displayed the different moods of students. During the hot weather students' shorts styles ranged from bermuda shorts with the sweater vests and loafers to shorter shorts with a fancy top and pumps. Then there were some who really went all out with leather pants and skirts or shiny material for jumpsuits that went with the chain necklaces and large earrings. For the guys, the most popular jean was the one and only-Levis. They were mostly worn with a polo or an izod. Some guys were very particular about what they wore and how they looked. Many guys wore pants or nice jeans with a stylish dress shirt. Some guys followed the trend of getting one ear pierced, but usually the earring would come out a month or two later. The hairstyle for guys was mostly the short, clean cut, feathered back. Some guys, however, took to the punk style, short on top and a little longer in the back. For the girls, short or long hair and just the way you wanted to wear it was fine, with the bob coming back into style.

What went on after the bell rang at 3 p.m.? What was done during the week and what about the weekends? After school students did anything from going home and cranking up the stereo for MTVD to spending time at parks or going on small shopping sprees. Many school functions were on school day evenings. Class meetings, poster parties, sports and sports practices took up students' time. jobs were also a major part of after school life. On the weekends students spent their evenings at school games, parks, movies and dragging Douglas. Day-time activities during the weekends included working, shoping sprees, cleaning rooms, watching early morning cartoons and attending church. No matter what students did with their free time, it never seemed to be enough, because the time went by too soon.

Todd Allen and Don McKenzie laugh as they walk down Senior Hall Entermzhment W jobs fill after-school lives l tudents' lives weren't all fun and games. Most students held down a part time job. Among the most common were work in fast food restaurants, as retail clerks and as sackers at local grocery stores. Holding down a job wasn't easy for all students, especially those who were involved in sports or after school activities. Those students had to stay after school almost every day, go to work afterwards and still find time to do their homework. If holding down a job took up so much time, then why did students work? Many felt they had to work in order to pay for their expenses. Such costs might include cars, clothes, class rings, lunch money, sports events and, for many, it meant the dif- ference of being able to go to their junior-senior prom. If I didn't work I would miss out on a lot of school activities, stated junior Vivian Ashley. For whatever the reason, students felt that it was a necessity to give up a little of their free time to hold down a job.

Week improves dance attendance all spirit week fell on Oct 24-28. It was a busy week for East's studentsg getting dressed up, Hxing hair, pain- ting faces and engag- ing themselves in the activities for the week. Monday was Heavy Metal day, Tuesday was Pajama Day, Wednesday was Space Day, Thursday was Halloween Day, and Fri- day, Blue and White Day. During lunch on Tuesday, spirit Cabinet hosted a three-legged race, and Thursday there was a scheduled Mask con- test, but it was canceled due to lack of in- terest. Many students participated in the Fall Spirit Week, however. I thought Spirit Week was fun, but I liked Space Day the best. That was crazy! stated junior Becky Ackerman. Spirit Cabinet had the job of planning, organizing and setting up all activities dur- ing Spirit Week. They also had to organize the half time events during the Homecom- ing game and then plan the Saturday night Homecoming dance.

Spzhf Weekfl 1 Queen coronation featured at game he climax of Fall Homecom- ing was Friday night's game against Northwest. Half time activities includ- ed a performance by East's marching band and the crowning of the Homecoming queen. As the seven mustangs circled the field with queen candidates following last year's king and queen, the pom pon squad, cheerleaders and spirit cabinet members rolled the red carpet to the middle of the field. Then the former king and queen, Mike Goodwyn and Tiffany Spencer, stepped out of the Shriners' mustang onto the red carpet to the middle of the field. They were then followed by this year's queen candidates and their escorts, who lin- ed up in a row beside Goodwyn and Spencer. After the flower and ring bearer joined the procession on the field, the 1983 Homecoming Queen was announced. Kris Spencer was named queen just as her sister had been one year before. Both Kris and Tiffany Spencer greeted each other in tears. The juniors shared in the joy as hours of hard work paid off for their class. Theirs was named the winning entry in the class float competition. The senior float came in se- cond, followed by that of the sophomores. After halftime and all Homecoming ac- tivities for the night were over, the football team went back onto the field to win another game for East High, crushing Nor- thwest 35-7. The Aces' potent offense was led by senior Wes Anderson, who ran for three touchdowns. Top leh: The junior float's theme, Beary the Grizzlies, helped it to win the class float competition.

People and music make dance a success all Homecoming was a tremendous success because of the large tur- nout, the new Dj and the par- ticipation of the people who came, said Becky Kasenberg, Spirit Cabinet president. Over three hundred semi-formally dressed students came to the gymnasium that had been decorated with balloons, streamers, table cloths, lights and a mirrored ball on Saturday, Oct. 29. They paid 353 per single and 36 per couple to dance to music and lights for three hours, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The Dj, Eddie Griswold, had never before played for an East dance, but his work was ap- preciated. I really liked the music because there was a variety of everything that is good to dance to, said julie Hill, Spirit Cabinet representative. Highlighting the dance was the traditional crowning of the King, followed by the King- Queen spotlight dance. The coronation ceremony involved the procession of all candidates and then the crowning of Chip Neitfield as King. The ceremony was completed with a traditional flair, recalling memories of past coronations that enabl- ed that ceremony to continue the tradition of all coronations performed in the gym.

The '70s marked East's most dismal sporting era, as the Aces became the doormat of the City League in nearly every sport. However, East's athletic teams have found renewed success in recent years, claiming .numerous city and state championships. Highlighting East's year in sports was the football team's victory over Shawnee Mis- sion West to claim their second consecutive 6A state title and the men's and women's basketball teams' trip to the state tournament, where they placed third and fourth respectively. During both the fall and winter seasons, East managed to place all of its sports teams in state competition. The performances of the Aces' spring sports teams also added to East's reputation as a school to be reckoned with in athletics. 1. Senior Monica Spencer protects the ball from an opposing player. 2.

Their City League record of 8-0 got them the City League title, took them to Regionals and Sub-state and eventually to win the State 6-A Champion- ship under the coaching of head coach Chuck Porter, named Eagle-Beacon Coach of the Year. After an 8-8 tie at half time, the Aces romped to a 20-8 victory in their clash with Shawnee Mission West for the state title. Senior Sean jackson kicked a field goal to put the Aces ahead. Highlighting the regular season games were the 34-0 and 14-0 wins over our respec- tive rivals Kapaun-Mount Carmel and Southeast. Leading the offense in yards rushing was Wes Anderson, Eagle-Beacon player of the year, with 1,208 yards. The line that enabl- ed him to become one of the top rushers of all time by opening holes in the line was nicknamed the Grunts. The Grunts were anchored by seniors Mike Brown, centerg Terry Anderson, right guard, Sean jackson and Dwayne Coffman, left guards, Kelly Smith, jeff Wielert and Stan Miller, tackles. The defense that enabled the offense to get onto the field was led by Bernardjones, Kirk Allen, Erik Purins, Ken Woods, LJ. Crosby, Clint Normore and Wes Anderson. Representing the Aces on the Wichita Eagle-Beacon's All City team were seniors Wes Anderson, first team offense and defense, Kelly Smith, first team offenseg Terry Anderson, first team offense, Kirk Allen, first team defense, Bernard jones, first team defense, Ken Woods, first team defense, and junior Erik Purins, first team defense. The JV football season went well also. They were undefeated with a record of 4-0. Coach Ray Farag attributed their winning edge to the offensive and defensive lines. Concerning their final game, a 21-0 win over the Titans, Farag stated that the the lines dominated the game, as they did all season. The defense was led by junior linemen Mitch Breit and Al Teague, and junior defensive back Tim Green. I think we had a real good team, and I was proud to play on such a good team. We stuck together and had a successful season, stated David Feather. 20 X Varsity X J V Football E X 1.

The sophomore football team won two games and lost five, however, Stevens stated, Most of our games were lost by less than a touchdown. Although sophomore football is not a major event like varsity is, Stevens says, It is a serious part of the varsity football pro- gram. We lthe coachesl don't take it light- ly, and the kids don't either. I-Ie went on to say, We laid down the ground work and the varsity coaches will put on the finishing touches. . . I was really encouraged by some of the potental of the kids. Some will make good varsity players, they're very quick and want to play. With our coaches, I think that they will develop into good varsity players. 1.

Women 'J Temzzk X23 JV, varsity have memorable season his has been the most en- joyable and certainly most memorable season I have a ever coached, stated Coach Janet Krack, adding. The varsity team showed everyone this year how tough they really are. Krack was named Coach of the Year for the third consecutive year, but when asked how she felt about this she said, As you well know, coaches only look as good as their teams. The varsity team went with a 28-6 record en route to their third consecutive City League volleyball championship that they shared with North. This year's team is extraordinary, commented Krack, before naming certain honors the girls earned. LaVonna Jacobs, Heidi Wimmer and Monica Spencer were all named All City first team, and Tracy Coslett was named All City second team. Delores Murillo was nam- ed All City honorable mention. Jacobs was also named 1983 state- honorable mention and Wimmer to the all state team. Jacobs and Spencer were named Washburn Rural High School All- Tournament team, while Wimmer was named Most Valuable Player in the tourna- ment. Spencer was honored by being the 1983 Most Valuable Player for East High School. The City League Championship score was 15-1, and the team was runner up in the Northwest Tournament. At the Washburn Rural Tournament, the varsity team placed third. They earned the title of sub-state champions and were mnner up in the state finals. Several new school records were set this year also. LaVonnaJacobs established school records for total points scored and having the most serves. School records for most spikes and spiking aces went to Heidi Wim- mer. But among the junior varsity, the out- come was not as positive. The JV squad's overall record for the season was 8-11.

Varnfy I j V Volleybal!!25 Aces claim second at city meet, l . . , run to their 'best season in years s they stood at the line, awaiting the start of the year's first meet, East's men's cross country team was something that they hadn't been for a while...a genuine con- tender. ' 'It was ironic that we had our best season in years, but never won a meet, said Coach Steve Sell, in reference to East's string of meets where they narrowly missed first place. These titles meant little to the varsity squad, whose season-long goal was to claim East's first City League cross country cham- pionship in 16 years. The Aces were edged out by Southeast for the city title, however, but succeeded in defeating perrenial City League power Kapaun-Mt. Carmel and gaining the runner-up spot. Led by seniors Steve Howell and joe Hornback, East claimed second place in the regionals meet and qualified for the state meet for the first time in four years. Lifetime best performances by six of the seven varsity runners were not enough for East to reach its goal of third in the state meet however. The Aces placed ninth in what Sell called the fastest state meet that !Men'r Cross Countfy I've seen in a long time. The Aces weren't lacking in fine in- dividual performances, however, as they showed at the Heights Invitational. Placing third and fourth in the junior race were Don Howard andrlohn Woosipyti. Steve Howell and joe Hornback earned the third and fourth place medals in the senior race. At the state meet, Howell and Hornback posted East's two fastest times of the year, finishing the hilly two-mile course in 9:44 and 9:53 respectively. Despite having missed their goal of gain- ing the city title, the team's other ac- complishments caused Sell to say that it was the best team East has fielded in several years. 1.

But many of these bright hopes were dim- med, as the first day of practice began with the absence of two returning letterwomen. Still, the team held much promise, as three of the team's top runners had returned, along with a pair of sophomores who show- ed great potential. East was dealt a final, dehabilitating blow three weeks before the City League meet, however, with a season-ending Achilles' tendon injury to senior Jodie Fritzemeycr, one of the city's premier runners. Having lost Jodie, third place lin the City Leaguej became our realistic goal, said Coach Steve Sell. Outmatched by powerful squads from Southeast and Kapaun-Mt. Carmel, East did what Sell felt was a real good job at the city meet and reached their goal of third place. As had happened at several other meets during the season, East was unable to field the five runners necessary to post a team score at the regionals meet. Several of the season's individual highlights occurred at the Heights Invita- tional, where East placed runners in each of the three class divisions. Holly Schoell and Lia Brooker finished first and second in the sophomore race, Maria Whitaker placed third in the junior raceg and jenny Bell claimed the fourth place medal in the senior race. The women's team was unable to meet some of their pre-season goal, but Sell thought that the season was a success, con- sidering the injuries and other problems. With a strong nucleus of one senior and two juniors expected to return next year, the Aces should remain a city title contender in the future. 1.

Women 'J Cross Country f 2 7 Varsity sweeps league and All-City year of broken jinxes, the end of a dry spell. In the fall, the varsity foot- ball team beat K-MC for the first' time in 14 years and took the City and State 6A championship titles. The men's varsity basketball team then swept the City League to run away with the title for the first time since 1967 and went on to place third in State after los- ing to Kansas City Wyndotte, who went on to take the state title. But there was also a record number of in- juries. Major competition for the city title was given by both Northwest and Heights high schools. At the Dodge City Tournament of Champions, Heights defeated the Aces by one point with the winning points being scored during the sound of the buzzer to leave the score at 63-64. This game was played without jim McBride and Brad Speer, both out with ankle injuries, it was also the Aces' first loss of the season. Three days later the Aces met Heights againg that time in City League play. At the half, Heights was up 15 points. At 2:25 re- maining in the third period they were up 18 points. The fourth quarter, however, featured blazing basketball techniques by the Aces that led to Heights being outscored by East's 36 to their 16 points.f However the Aces had not returned to a winning streak. Their second loss was to Northwest. In this game senior starter Keith Shaw fractured both of his wrists while breaking his fall after he had been called for a charge on his drive to the basket. Also senior starter McBride sprained his other ankle. Shaw, McBride and Speer sat out the game that clinched the City League title for the Aces. juniors Eric Smith and Brian Pouncil teamed for 28 points. Their effort, combined with the ever-dependable perfor- mances of Don Thomas, Clint and Cliff Normore and Ricky Bell, brought the team to a City League title and a win of 82-62 over South High. The team's outstanding season was reflected not only in their great win-loss record of 18-4 or in their league position at the season's end, but their outstanding season was also reflected in the pick by the Wichita Eagle-Beacon for the All-City team. Schumacher was selected as All-City coach of an All-City tC3.I'Il, four of the five members being from East. Those players were Clint Normore, Don Thomas, jim fMen 'J Basketball McBride and Keith Shaw. ThejV squad ended their season with a 6-5 record. Towards the end of the season, the team's leading scorers, Eric Smith, Brian Pouncil and Scott Bullock, were mov- ed up to varsity. This fact may have con- tributed to some of the team's losses. Coach Ed Southern, however, had a good outlook concerning the team's performance throughout the season. I thought the season was pretty good. I enjoyed the players, he commented. Three of the losses were by only one point, making the games very competitive. Shun Tillman, a sophomore moved up from the sophomore team, was moved tojV for some games to help fill the space vacated by the promoted,IV players. Most games played by the sophomore team were very close score-wise. Three out of four were lost by a total of five points, said coach Rick Hansen. He added, The games they came out ready to play, they won. Overall there was as much potential on their sophomore team as on any team in the city at the sophomore level. Tillman was the season's leading scorer and rebounder. Aaron Collier shot the se- cond largest number of total points on the season. Anthony Franklin did a good job as floor leader and Steve Knox was a good defensive player, said Hansen. 1.

Each call a referee makes is an important part of the game.

Many basketball games have been decided by how well the team shoots from the line on free throws. Senior All-City starter Don Thomas prepares himself mentally for each shot before its execution. 5. Intensity is one quality that mn make a basketball player good and give him the winning edge. ThejV team plays many intense games featuring good shots like this one Christian Ablah is attempting. Men 'J Basketball Varsity squad earns a lasting memory he varsity girls accomplished something that no one in Wichita has ever done before. At the beginning of the season, one of the goals of the girls was to win the fourth consecutive City League championship, said varsity girls' basketball coach Don Bowin. Their game for the championship was the biggest thing Bowin wanted in the last 10 years. And their 48-41 win over North gave the seniors the memory of being the only ones to accomplish this, Bowin said. The girls also earned a regular season record of 16-3. Probably one of the main reasons for this was the fact that nine of the 12 players had come back from the previous season. However the entire season was not an easy one. In Emporia High's basketball tournament the girls suffered a loss of 71-67. But Bowin said, It was the best girls' game I've ever seen. All their practice and hard playing got the varsity women to the state championship playoffs, but they were able to capture only fourth place in 6-A state. They lost their last game, for third place, to Leavenworth, 60-65 Chosen for the All-City teams by the Wichita Eagle-Beacon were seniors Monica Spencer, first team guard, Heidi Wimmer, se- cond team center, and Lavonna jacobs, honorable mention. This was Spencer's second year on the honorary team. The JV girls' team was not as fortunate. Having only four returning players and 11 beginners, they had to learn to play as a team, organize themselves and gain experience. The junior varsity girls set a 9-5 goal for themselves but managed only a 7-5 record for the year. Virginia Tilton, junior, said the team had a weak offense but that the defense was their ad- vantage. Overall, though, the defense wasn't strong enough to pull the team to their season goal. Nevertheless, JV coach Kathy Garafalo said, The girls are hard workers and very en- thusiastic, which is what makes them a strong team. 1.

Captains for the team were seniors Paul Mayer, Eric Drowatzky, Tim Phares and Randy Lewis. These four also placed fifth in the medley relay at State. Individual accomplishments were held by Lewis, placing second in the 50 freestyle and fifth in the 100 freestyle at Stateg Drowatzky, placing 10th in the 50 freestyle, and Brendan Gresham, placing 11th in diving.

Coach Ernest Drowatzky felt that was a pleasing accomplishment. We've had a young team and qualified two perople outright for State as well as two relays, he explained. Drowatzky attributed their wins to their strength in the free style events, which are the majority of the events. He also saw the lack of experience of the freshmen and sophomore girls swimming butterfly events as being a weakness when combined with the fact that they had no entrees into the diving competition. With proper development, however, Drowatzky felt the butterfly should be a future strength. 1.

Team works for the championship occer season began with a record turnout of players, and cuts were made from the team for the first time in soc- cer's history at East. The final team committed themselves to hard and dedicated practice to get into top physical condition. Once in condition and into the season, the team's winning edge became dependent upon their ability to play as a smooth running team machine, said team members. To promote team spirit, new equipment was purchased through the combined ef- forts of team popcorn sales and a private donation. The equipment, however, did not arrive in its entirety before the season's end. Even without the luxuries, however, the team pushed its way into contention for the league title, finishing in third place.

Varsity baseball places sixth in city ue to poor weather, baseball ,had a slow start. After a few games, however, Coach Dale Hart commented that our team is starting to compete well and is playing as a team. Pitching and a good catcher, along with support players, were the main strengths this year. When it came to hitting, Hart said, We have good contact. Two players noted for their outstanding performances during the season were seniors Sean jackson and jim Knoff, both hitting close to 400. Hart was new both to East High and to the Aces baseball team, having entered the math department second semester to fill a vacancy as well as to serve as varsity baseball coach. And Hart was not alone, as he was assisted by a new junior varsity baseball coach who taught at Rooseveltjunior High. Of the jV team, Coach Rick johnson commented that the strongest point in this year's squad was the hitting. He pointed out that they were inexperienced on the in- field, and he also added that the weakest point was the younger, inexperienced players. When asked how he felt about the team, johnson said, I enjoyed coaching, and the kids showed a tremendous amount of deter- mination and never gave up. 1.

Because of the rain, the team was not able to play a full schedule. The lack of practice CHUSCD them to lose four games, and many were either postponed or canceled. As Coach Don Bowin described the team, They did not come along as I thought they should, but he added that the constant rain made practice difficult. Although the team as a whole did not make it to the top, three members made the Eagle-Beacon's All-City first team, and one made the All-City second team. First team members were senior Lavonna Jacobs, second year infield, senior Monica Spencer, second year infield, and freshman Gina Blevins, first year outfield.

Washburn taught perform- ing arts at East and had decided to go into something new on the side. The team was very young. With no seniors and only one returning letterman, junior Paul Hancock, the team had to do a lot of practicing to improve their skills by game time. While most teams were starting from the basics, the East High tennis team had to learn the basics. Washburn condi- tioned the players for two weeks to get rid of bad habits. The tennis team had their first match postponed because the rain prevailed. But they soon had their chance to show themselves. For the opening of the season, the tennis team played Heights. Although in the singles match Andrew Ablah made 6-0 and 6-1 and in doubles Ablah and David Gilchrist won 6-3 and 6-3, in the overall standings, the team lost to the Falcons. 1. Because the tennis team was very young and inex- perienced and had a new coach, they had to get in a lot of practicing.

Their pride soared to a new high, however, when senior Brad Speer provided the highlight of the year by becoming the greatest prep' high jumper that Kansas has ever known. Going into the season, East's goal was the same as it always is...winning the City League meet. It was a goal which was never to be met. Illness and injury laid waste the Aces' ranks, partially explaining East's disappoin- ting ninth place finish at the city meet. While the Aces did have some top-notch performers, lack of depth plagued them all year long and was yet another factor in East's tumble from the top- , East may have failed to meet its team goal, but Speer met every goal that he set for himself. Speer, struggling against powerful winds which whipped across the track at the WSU Relays, became only the sixth high school high jumper in the state's Asa Men 's T rack new state record history to crack the seven foot barrier, jum- ping 7' 'A . Speer established a new all-time state record at the Regionals meet, floating over 7'2W and shattering Sharrieff Hazim's year-old record. Establishing himself as the nation's se- cond ranked prep high jumper, Speer un- corked a towering 7'3 jump at the state meet to close out his spectacular year. However Speer didn't hold a monopoly on outstanding performances. Several other Aces excelled in their events while facing stiff competition. junior john Woosipyti ran a remarkable 800 at the city meet, finishing in 2:01. And the 4X10O relay team of seniors Wes Anderson, Curtis Staley, Rob Garner and Paul Mayer raced to a thrilling victory at the regionals meet, hit- ting the tape in 42.7. Although the Aces might not have been satisfied with their achievements as a team, they must have been pleased with the noteworthy achievements of their team- mates in 1984. 1.

Aces face adversity, rain, frustration arrying a string of three con- secutive City League track championships into the season, the women's track team set their sights on a fourth title in 1984. Miserable weather that detracted from crucial practice time pulled the string taut. The team's dwindling number of members finally snapped the str- ig. igii i 4. W ' 1 wi x ' i if it -lf R. ing, as the Aces couldn't field a squad po- tent enough to claim another city title. Arch-rival North High snatched the city crown away from the Aces, who could manage only a sixth place finish at the city meet. Coach Steve Sell attributed East's disappointing performance to the team's sparce numbers, pointing out that most of the girls had to compete in three or even four events. No matter how frustrating the season might have been for the Aces, most of whom had run on last year's city champion- ship team, Sell said that they always acted like winners. They could always step off the track knowing that they had done their best. Despite the Aces' drop in the City League standings, their season did have its highlights. During the middle of the season, East was able to snatch up first place at two track meets, the Southeast and Nor- thwest Invitationals. Even though the Aces' highest finishes were at the Southeast and Northwest meets, Sell considered the Regionals meet to be his team's best effort. Placing sixth, behind junction City, who continued their reign as regional champions, the Aces turned in several remarkable individual perfor- mances. The 4X100 meter relay team of Heathers Reed, Venita Terrell, Cathy Reed and Annette Colvin raced to a third place finish, clocking their fastest time of the year. Colvin leapt her way to second place in the high jump. Evans claimed first in the shotput and second in the long jump. East capped of its season at the state meet, where Evans earned the fourth place medal in the shotput. Sell gave the women's season a positive assessment. He said that he couldn't help but be pleased that the girls competed well even under such a difficult set of cir- cumstances. He added that he was proud of their determination throughout the year.

East's students found relaxation in a bountiful variety of extracurricular activities, much in the same manner as past Aces. Clubs, dances and plays were just a few ways that students unwound after school and on weekends. Students were'also entertained by special events, such as the Faculty vs. 'Varsity Club basketball game, the Mr. Ace pageant and various assemblies. Diligence in class and participation in activities proved to be a productive blend. 1. East's spirit club in 1963 was called the Peppy Pilots and had almost a thousand members. Declining member- ship, however, caused its demise in the late 1960s. 2. The fall instrumental music concert provides sophomorejeff johns with a chance to demonstrate his mastery of the saxophone. 3.

Their most visible function was the fund drive for United Way. StuGo sponsored fun noon time activities that students par- ticipated in for the price of having given to the United Way fund. One activity was a Guess the Number of jellybeans in the jar contest. Sheryl Mosier won the jar of jellybeans by guessing that there were 619 beans in the jar. Another lunch period was the time for an Ice Cream Obstacle Course. For one quarter, students who participated bought as large an ice cream cone as they thought they could handle, ran an obstacle course while holding it and then ate it if they hadn't dropped it. If they had dropped the cone they were obligated to make another contribution. Due to weather, not much ice cream was sold at the contest. The remaining ice cream was sold as refreshment the next day to peo- ple who came to watch Diana Cubbage, principal, kiss a goat, no admission charg- ,IXDQ-I' A ff ed. Cubbage had challenged that if the school raised S2000, she would kiss a goat. Television stations were notified and the event was aired on the 6 p.m. news. The goal of S2000f'was met primarlily because of the success of the major activity, the first annual Mr, Ace Contest. In this competition, organized by Mr. Q, assistant principal, and Brad Haught, senior, several students participated in various types of masculine contests including state costume, musclelswimsuit and legs com- petitions. An evening gown competition, a spoof on the Miss America contest, was the finale. Dennis Bradfield, senior, won the best overall rating from the panel of teacher and student judges to receive the title of Mr, Ace for the '83-'84 school year. StuGo was also active in other activities. During National Education Week they showed their appreciation for each teacher by presenting each with a Payday candy bar and note of appreciation. And they mailed Christmas cards to all Wichitans living away from home whose address was listed in the Eagle-Beacon. Not all of StuGo's activities were solely for the benefit of others, however. A Christmas party highlighted by pizza and a white elephant gift exchange amused the StuGo members one December week night. Another activity for StuGo's own benefit could have indirectly benefited others. They held a Student Governemnt Represetative Exchange Day. The hosting school held a StuGo meeting. This allowed members to bring ideas back to their own shcool that could benefit and enhance their own StuGo programs. 1.

East High had four cheerleading squads: men's varsity, women's varsity, junior varsi- ty and sophomore squads. Jacque Nelson, was the new sponsor of the cheerleaders. Kristy Benton, junior, commented on their new sponsor: I think Mrs. Nelson is very understanding and always helps out with you individually. She's kinda like a mom to us all, add- ed varsity cheerleader Heathers Reed, senior. Under her direction, the varsity cheerleaders went to a summer camp at the National Cheerleaders Association QNCAJ at Emporia State University, june 14-17. The men's varsity squad came home 'with the Award of Excellence, and they shared the honors of winning the spirit stick with the women's varsity. The squads competed seperately, the men's varsity winning all superior ribbons. The other two squads also attended sum- mer camp. At a camp at WSU theJV squad won the top award given tojV squads, and the sophomore squad won the spirit stick along with other ribbons. 1.

They organized both of the Homecoming dances and ran the elections for Homecoming kings and queens. They also sponsored the toga dance at the beginning of the year. And the Cabinet attended and supported all the football and basketball games. Also attending the games were members of the pom pon squad. East High's Ace-Ettes worked hard to achieve perfection, and it was recognized. They received one of the five sweepstakes trophies at Thunderhawk Drill Team Camp' at Oklahoma University during the sum- mer. This made them eligible for an invita- tion to the Drill Team Invitational in Honolulu, Hawaii. They were also invited to perform at the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans. 2 p c The group practiced hard to achieve this recognition by practicing three days a week in the summer time, during daily pom pon class and also at numerous morning prac- tices before school. The 1983-84 Ace-Ettes are an excep- tionally fine group, stated joan Seaton, pom pon sponsor. 1.

The captains, Greene and Pew, attended a summer camp at WSU. While there they learned routines that they then taught to the rest of the team during second hour, perfected and then performed. The girls also experienced a change of band director and sponsor. Mike Pressler, the new director, commented, There have been a lot of changes this year. I think they fthe flag teamj adapted to it well. I was im- pressed with the creative abilities of many of the students.

Varsity Club feels big loss to faculty arsity Club went down in defeat to the faculty team by a wide margin of 48-39. It was sad to lose to a bunch of old men, said senior Varsity Club member jay Agnew. Many students paid 50 cents to skip their seventh hour and view the spectacle of teachers battling their students and to watch a dazzling pom pon routine per- formed by junior and senior guys. I was surprised! said faculty member Carol Webb of her team's victory. I had a wonderful time, she added. I felt young and foolish. 1. Providing half time entertainment and fun, junio.

A proposal was made by the Academic Letter Committee to include all courses instead of just those previously determined to be ' 'academic If approved, the recommendation would increase the number of academic letter winners, in- cluding among their ranks those seniors who might have taken only three academic subjects and their other courses in the fine arts, industrial arts, home economics or journalism. However, no ac- tion had been taken by the end of the year, so seniors graduating in 1984 could letter only under the more rigid standards. NHS was concerned with the second an- nual review sessions for the PSAT, ACT and SAT college entrance exams and the annual Honor Roll Brunch, at which Mayor Margelee Wright made a guest appearance.

Their charity included a donation to United Way, sponsoring the team managers to the state football championship game, engraving the players' names on the state trophy and paying for the cheerleaders' pic- ture for a National Cheerleading program. New sweats were bought for the boys' and girls' track team with Varsity Club funds. The club also maintained a peanut machine in the teachers' lounge. Club members were rewarded for their hard work, though. A pizza party was thrown for the concession stand workers, and an annual barbeque was held for all members in May. Varsity Club also awarded two scholar- ships to a boy and girl for school involve- ment and leadership qualities. 1.

During the year, Science Club members got together and decided what topics they wanted to cover that interested them most. As a result, they viewed a slide show on their last trip to the Grand Canyon and saw a film on fish and game. They also planned on having speakers come talk to them. Among those was a veternarian and people from the fish and game commission. Another film which was of much interest was on a veternarian and enviromental prac- tice. A couple of the most exciting things Science Club sponsored were a field trip behind the scenes at the zoo and a trip dur- ing spring break to the Grand Canyon. Geology Club was another science oriented club with several field trips. When asked how Victor Forbes, Geology Club sponsor, felt about Geology Club, he said, It's a pretty rocky subject. During the year geology students and club members took a trip to Oklahoma where they visited the Great Salt Plains and collected Selenite Crystals. They also went to the little Saraha Sand Dunes. 1.

When asked why Chess Club wasn't as active as last year, club sponsor Phil Randol said, Last year we had a lot of hard working and dedicated seniors. Now they are all gone and, consequenty, not too many underclassmen took their places. During noon and activity period many chess players practiced but didn't form a regular club. We have plenty of players, but not many competitive players who are dedicated, said Randol, adding, and because of this we didn't elect officers this year. The Club did have one orgainized activi- ty. In order to prepare for the chess tourna- ment, which was held in March, the Chess Club had a ladder play to determine the six top players to represent them. Another small club based on game com- petition was Backgammon Club. Backgammon is a fun game. I just wish more people were interested in it, said ,president of Backgammon Club, Erwin Col- vin. Besides playing backgammon during the club time, members tried to raise money to be in their tournament in February. 1.

Chess, Backgammon Clubs X59 Grads come back hotography Club learned of the different uses of photography through guest speakers and field trips. Fred Shigley, an East graduate, showed the members a slide presentation of his work in the area of com- mercial photography. David Hornback, another East graduate, came to a photography class and discussed his work and how to get started in the business of photography. An East High graduate also visited the Computer Club. Tom Wallis, of Wichita State University, led a discussion covering computers in college. Members also learned about computers on a trip to Boeing in March, following a visit by a Boeing computer expert at an earlier meeting. The major goal of the Computer Club was to gain the finances to buy a printer for one of the Apple computers in the math lab. They accomplished their goal by the beginning of the second semester through sales. These sales consisted of computers fr-ova 2 and teach clubs discs, peppermint sticks and sun catchers. Not all clubs, however, used sales to gain in their finances. The Business Club did not center their club around money-making ideas. Instead, they-turned their attention more to the aid of a public problem. During the '83-'84 year, the Business Club tried to revive the discontinued Easter Seals Telethon. Their main goal was con- centrated on organizing an Easter Seal Telethon effort. Although their sponsor, Sharri Leep, did not feel they achieved their goal, she felt it was good to know that so- meone cared enough to make the effort. But the club had its lighter side also. During spring break, 46 students took off for the Colorado slopes on what had become the annual Business Club ski trip. 1.

Computer, Business, Photo Clubs! Rewards make job worth time spent figh school journalism was sometimes aggravating. It did have its light-hearted jmoments, but few students loutside the journalism department realized how much hard work was involved. However two means were found to recognize the work of student journalists, Quill and Scroll and the journalism letter. Quill and Scroll was a national honorary society of student journalists who had ac- cumulated a grade point average of 3.0 or higher while contributing to production of the school paper or yearbook. The journalism letter was awarded to staff members who earned the required number of points by writing copy, completing pages on time, meeting photo assignments and attending journalism workshops and con- tests. journalism on the high school level was hard work. Sometimes it didn't seem to give back what was put into it, but Messenger and Echoes staff members, their eyes on their goals, kept working at it. And their main reward was the satisfaction of seeing others read their workin the paper or yearbook. 1.

Club members met during activity periods and at lunch. These meetings consisted of discussions on the Bible and how it affected students' daily lives. Students pursuing health careers got a chance to broaden their knowledge in Health Club. They met once a month dur- ing activity period. Invited were speakers of various health careers such as a psychologist, a medical student, an emergency paramedic and a veterinarian. A new club at East was a group called S.A.D.D. The rising number of traffic fatalities was the reason for its formation. Students held meetings at lunch and activi- ty period to discuss new ways for students to help curb the rising number of accidents on U.S. highways. Displaying posters and stickers around the school was one way of showing their concern. Even though these clubs were small in number, they worked just as hard for their cause. 1. juniors David Fiechtl and Doris Hayden enjoy the relaxation during a S.A.D.D. meeting. 2.

Debaters finished third with an 8-4 record. This is better than East has ever done at Regionals, commented Poemla. But the debaters could not participate in the state tournament because of the loss to Emporia High and Manhattan High at Regionals. After Debate season ended, Forensics started their season with Student Congress activities. Those who participated in Stu- dent Congress debated on different issues, wrote mock legislation and speeches and held parliamentary debates. Their hours of preparation paid off as East had two students, junior Mitch Slape and senior Adrienne Sanders, qualify for Nationals in Student Congress. Then in March, students began to com- pete in the National Forensics League. NFL activities were aimed at students' speaking and performing skills. 1.

However, German students at East found that working hard and finding ways to make the language interesting were two paths to success. Hard work was well-advised in the Ger- man I, II and III classes which comprised the German curriculum. As in other foreign languages, instructor Ray Wallis stressed the vocabulary and grammar necessary to form sentences. German Club spurred student interest by sponsoring various activities to increase understanding of German culture. Dinners at local German restaurants, such a the Rhinelander and Mr. Dunderbak's, were the most prominent of these activities. Fund-raising activities to help pay for the German meals, a Christmas party and a subscription to a German magazine kept club members busy throughout the year. In previous years, German Club had sold gum- my bears and other German candies, but a new school policy banned candy sales. The sale of Christmas advent calendars became the c1ub's pnimary money-maker. By applying themselves to the challeng- ing classwork and becoming involved in the club, students had the opportunity to make the difficult task of mastering German a lit- tle easier. 1. As his class studies, instructor Ray Wallis prepares the next day's lesson plan. 2. In hopes of improving his understanding of Ger- man, juniorjolm Mayer asks a question during a class discussion. 3.

Language, culture of Rome survives ou take Latin---Why? i Questions about the im- portance of Latin today are understandable. Latin hasn't been a conversational language since the days of the Roman Em- pire. However, the study of Latin is a valuable tool for improvng study habits as well as English vocabulary and grammar. Latin at East changed in two ways. Decreased enrollment caused the demise of Latin II and III classes, and only one Latin I class remained. Hopes were high, however, that advanced Latin courses would return in the near future. Lois McNichol replaced Virginia Mc- Cracken as the Latin instructor, splitting her time between a morning class at East and an afternoon class at Southeast. While the Latin class concerned itself with mastering the language of the ancient Romans, Latin Club explored Roman culture and everyday life. Being a small, academically-oriented club, the Latin Club chose to meet during class time. Latin has continued at East despite adver- sity, just as it endured over the thousand years since the Roman culture, from which it sprang, died off. 1. Completing daily class work is a key to success in Latin, as senior Todd Murphy and junior Anna Bier- man know well. 2. With a class discussion in progress, the attention of sophomore Derrek Burrows, senior jay Agnew and sophomore Andrew Ash seems to have strayed from Roman culture. 3.

After qualified personnel had taken the blood from the donor, H.E.R.O. members aided in the recovery of the donors by feeding them sandwiches and cookies. The Blood Mobile had a good turnout, but all expectations were not met. We did not meet out quota but did get 43 pints of blood. A lot of potential donors were re- jected for health reasons such as co1ds, ex- plained sponsor Aileene Bowie. DECA had taken on two new activities. The first event involved working with the Muscular Distrophy Association's Haunted House at Halloween. They also did a Free Enterprise project for the state DECA com- petition, held in Wichita at the Holiday Inn Plaza. One of the requirements for this pro- ject was to give speeches on Free Enterprise. They spoke at the West Side Lions Club and at the Rotary CLub. OEA executed a service project at the Wesley Children's center. The project con- sisted of a Chistmas Party for the young children there. All regular activities were ex- ecuted under the direction of their new of- ficers: Carolyn Mitchell, presidentg Lisa Lea Brown, vice-presidentg Felecia Burrell, secretaryg Sandi Wells, treasurerg and Linda Buggs, historian. H.E.R.O. executed their normal activities including the Fast Food Express, the Blood Mobile, the Manhattan Fall Conference and the Leadership Conference.

ACADEMICS Ill IIWIH ina a i w 7 Academic area takes a turn around he academic area took a turn around since the Nation at Risk report came out in the spring of '83. Students found their schedules loaded with more academic courses than they had originally signed up for. For example, one senior was placed in a chemistry class that made no sense to him. I-Ie ended up dropping the class before the semester was over. Another junior, Betsy Mellor, explained, I wasn't expecting to be put in Algebra II, and now I'm not getting a very good grade in there. I feel if I would have been put in a class I wanted, I could have brought home a better report card. But in light of interviews with graduates home from college, most said they wished they would have been pushed harder in high school. Perhaps in the long run the heavy schedules will have paid off. 1. Math teacher Bill Scherich doesn't seem to appreciate junior Doug Erickson's problem solving on his desk. 2.

Journalism needs super motivation 6 6 f it wasn't for journalism I wouldn't have enjoyed school, met different people and wouldn't have been able to get the most out of my high school education, said senior Dennis McPhail. When asked how students benefit from taking journalism Vicki Churchman, ad- viser, said, In two separate ways. First of all students receive great experience in com- position. Then secondly, they learn how to work with others, how to motivate themselves and how to meet deadlines. In Journalism I students had the oppor- tunity to learn the basics of journalism such as news style, lead writing, editorial and feature writing, advertising and layout styles. In the spring they used their newly learned skills to produce their own eight page paper. JI was a prerequisite for journalism staff members, but exceptions were occasionally made in the cases of photographers and cer- tain yearbook staffers. In order to be on a staff it was a good idea to keep your grades high in English and to take JI your sophomore year. Each year out of JI classes and volunteers, I have to pick 'a few good peo- ple, ' Churchman said, describing the yearbook and newspaper staffs. 1. Loving the life of journalism staff members, senior John Shaw and junior Mary Gornick look over the Messenger. 2.

' ' As an individual group the Concert Choir performed fall and spring concerts, along with many Christmas concerts throughout Wichita. Sophomore Choir performed spring and fall concerts along with the traditional Messiah, performed with the concert choir in March. Speaking of traditions, Stars for a Night returned with the return of Allen. With much excitement, music students prepared for the musical and dance numbers they would perform, which were choreographed by Lori jordan, who graduated in '83. When asked what being in concert choir meant to her, Laurie Kahrs, junior, stated, Not only has it allowed me to perform, but it has expanded my education in the performing arts as well as teaching me a sense of self-discipline. And so the year came to an end, a year for the music department of a returning teacher and returning traditions. 1.

' 'With a little discipline and a lot of hard work Madrigals learned more than just sing- ing and reading music. We learned to work together as a team to make people happy by our performing, and we usually had a good time doing it.

Imtrumental Muszb Language Arts revises classes ven before the Nation at Risk report came out in the spring of 1983, the language arts department at East became involved with upgrading English courses. Department teachers became active in the push for more rigid courses and a higher quality education in English. Department chairperson Elfrieda Shellenberger and Carol Webb were two representatives from East in the city wide committee to select higher quality text- books. Janice Gornick and Webb were on the committee for sophomore and junior Honors English courses. The committee determined the criteria for eligibility for the course and what would be included' in the content of the course. Aside from the outside work, East's language arts department developed a system of uniform semester exams for all East High English classes. The uniform ex- ams were designed to make sure students received their full education in English. The improvement of writing skills, writing quality and thesis paper organization were also emphasized. 1.

Englzlrli f9 7 ath enrollment causes 'vacancy' he '83-'84 school year saw a greatly increased enrollment in the mathematics courses. This was due to the added emphasis placed on the im- portance of mathematics. Not only had the school counselors tried to interest students, but parents too began to realize the need for more study in mathematics. Wichita schools had decreased test scores, particularly noticeable when comparing Wichita students with state and national norms, said the mathematics department chairman Phil Randol. The increased enrollment caused a vacancy, a class without a permanent teacher. Finding a certified mathematics teacher who was willing to teach was hard, especially with the pay teachers receive. This wasn't the only new thing for the '83-'84 students, however. East was selected as a pilot school to receive new computers. These made up a second computer lab for East, so math students would not have to share time with business students. However, the computers were intended to be used by the entire school, including the English and social studies departments. With all the new aspects in mathematics, East students were also establishing a tradi- tion, once again bringing home a trophy in the state math contest. The contest was held in Emporia, Ks., on Oct. 28. Out of 45 schools, 878 students attended the contest. The team of Renee Gentet, Randy Lewis and Cathy Tway, won second in geometry, receiving a trophy and medals. Also, in in- dividual competition, Adrienne Sanders took fourth place in algebra. 1.

Mail: X Concepts enhance student skills hysical Education had a trial run for a new type of gym classes. The name of the new program was Concepts Concepts was defined as a new approach to teaching Physical Educa- tion. It placed emphasis on the individual by teaching the How, 'What and 'Why' ' of physical activity and exercise. The purpose of concepts was to educate students so they could make intelligent choices con- cerning their health and fitness needs for a lifetime. Concepts had already been tried in four of the Wichita public high schools and East, along with the other three, adopted this program. In all, concepts was a program which Coach Don Bowin hoped would make students more aware of personal and physical health, hygene, diet and nutrition in the years to come. Physical endurance was tested, along with having to keep a diary of what students had eaten within that week. They had to find out the nutrients in their diet. Students also had to keep a notebook of all their physical activities, which was required in order to pass. Coach Bowin was very pleased for this program. He stated that it can't help but improve the image of the school and com- munity. 1. Aerobics can be fun, as janet Krack and Pat Reynolds' second hour gym class demonstrates. 2. Strengthening leg muscles can be rewarding, as Peggy Pilcher displays. 1 Pbyrzbal Eclucfztion If frm? ., 5 t i f 1 ' , .

Parenting, child development, designing and sewing clothing, and prepar- ing meals were several of those aspects to name only a few. East High offered a wide variety of classes for these subjects in the home economics department. Parenting and child develop- ment, Fast Foods and Cloth and Fashion were names of several courses available to students. Parenting and World of Children were courses that emphasized the role of parents, and the physical, social and intellectual development of children. These classes were taught in the child care center. Cloth and Fashion classes studied fashions, designed clothing and sewed the clothing. Students enrolled in beginning foods classes learned to plan meals, follow recipes and be economical with food, while advanc- ed food classes prepared and served sweets through first semester during lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. More substantial foods such as hot dogs, spaghetti and chicken were sold during se- cond semester to students tiring of the cafeteria lunch. 1.

Home Economicyf 1 Art requires critical thinking y goal is to teach my Q Q students critical think- ing and at the same jtime teach them to create meaningful pro- ductions, said Annie Lowery, art depart- ment chairperson, about her television: class. In this class students were hard at work producing commercials, documen- taries, promotions and interviews. Lowery also taught Photography and Visual Communications. Through critical thinking, the photography classes learned to shoot pictures, develop film and make prints. Through photographic media, I am teaching them to communicate aesthetically and creatively, Lowery remarked. Another aspect to art was Brenda jones' Painting and Drawing classes. We work on different concepts instead of just a bunch of products, jones explained. She wanted students to have a reason or theory for their paintings. Both jones and Steve Sell taught In- troduction to Art, which touched all areas of art such as print making, working with fabric and other kinds of material. Sell also said he emphasized a lot of drawing in his classes. Drawing is the foundation for any kind of artwork you're going to do, Sell said. Sell also taught Creative Crafts, which in- cluded a wide variety of things such as ceramics, leathercraft, macreme, wood inlay and weaving. In Sell's Ceramics and Sculpture class, students advanced from hand building and slabwork to ceramics on the pottery wheel, glazing and firing techniques and working with the kilns. 1.

In past years, any work done on computers by business students was done on a time share computer system with the math department. In the process of becoming computer literate, two computer labs were established in the school. The business lab received 10 Apple II E com- puters with double disk drives. Business classes using the Apple com- puters included accounting, data process- ing, office education and advanced typing. Software programs were used to do their work. The objective, as explained by Sherri Leep, business instructor, was to make as many people as possible computer literate. Not many have to program computers, but many people need to learn to use them. Data processing and typing students used a word processing program by Screen Writer, a personal filing system, PFS and a spread sheet, Visa Calc. As a student who took part in the pro- gram, senior Steve Howell said, The work I have done on computers in Accounting should help me in college and in years after. 1. First year accounting teaches students, such as senior Kirk Allen, how a business organizes its records of all of its transactions. Students act as the accountant of a single owner business by using a kit including checkbooks and ledgers. Second year accounting students get into the complexities of corporate business records. 2. Cheryl Crist, senior, and Kristine Irick, junior, are studying sheets that show how to execute a software program, The room they are in is the newly established Business Computer Lab.

Students not planning to have a career in business learn to type as well as students who plan on a business career because it is a basic skill that can be used in many areas, especially in computer operation. Sophomore Mark Murphy is learning to typeg a skill acquired after much practice. 2, Shorthand is a skill that aids in quick note taking.

Buszheyf .Z 0 7 Students explore science interests .number of science classes were offered to help develop science skills such as Astronomy, Biology, Botany, V ' Chemistry, Geology, Physics, Physiology, Science Topics and Zoology. Science students spent time doing ex- periments, lab work, doing assignments and taking tests. Ernie Drowatzky, depart- ment chairperson, taught Biology and Physiology. Bob Carroll, who was a new teacher, taught Science Topics and Physics. Vic Classen taught Biology, Botany first semester and Zoology second semester. Vic- tor Forbes taught Astronomy, Geology and Science Topics. Dick Gribble taught Biology and Chemistry. Steve Jacobs taught Chemistry I and II. Students were offered the opportunity to experience science in many ways. Physiology which was only offered second hour is the study of the human body, and dissecting cats was one activity that students enjoyed. It's real interesting cutting up those stiff cats, stated a Physiology student. Botany is the study of structure growth, and distribution of living organisms and students had the chance to study those organisms under microscopes, and watch them grow. Studying science is the theoretical ex- planation of natural phenomena, and many students had the chance to study and learn the meaning of it. 1. In Ernie Drowatzky's second hour Physiology class.

Science 1 Social studies go out of classroom ocial studies has long been regarded as a subject which involved merely textbook- learning. At East, however, out-of-school activities and a new educational program helped to break up the drudgery. The addition of a new teacher was another change in the social studies department. A trip to the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Mo. offered Economic students a chance to see how part of our economic system functions. The trip, which occurred Nov. 23, was sponsored by the chairman of the social studies department, Steve Allen. Learning more about the federal govern- ment first-hand was the purpose of the Close-Up Washington trip. Suzanne Oldenstadt, the sponsor of the trip, said that a great deal of fund-raising was re- quired to make the trip possible. Students enrolled in U.S. History and Government classes had the opportunity to hear attorneys, provided by the Law Related Education program, speak on subjects such as civil rights and the Constitution. The speakers made their presentation in classes throughout the year. After spending the previous year at South High, Ray Farag transferred to East to assume the U.S. History teaching position vacated by Chuck Porter, who moved into the P.E. department. Farag's duties also in- cluded being an assistant coach for the foot- ball team, but he stressed academics throughout the school day. 1. At times, U.S. History can be a little overwhelming.

S0czdlS!ua7ex!1 1 1 Special needs met for special kids pecial Education classes helped students with their individual and personal needs. Learning Disability students all had an average or above average I.Q., but had a specific learning problem. These students were in regular classes three to six hours a day. joneva Flowers, Chris Poelma and Cindy Shaffer worked hard helping these students in such areas as reading and math. They taught in different ways so as to help students with different learning styles understand better. With the help of Kathy Hampton, the Personal and Social Adjustments program provided an appropriate learning environ- ment and services that facilitated the educa- tional progress of students with behavior disorders. Hampton helped students with up to five different subjects per hour and kept her room open as a resource room. The students worked on a point system where they received awards at the end of the week according to how many points they had ac- cumulated. Educable Mentally Handicapped classes, under the guidance of Rosa Avila and Peggy Adelgren, sstressed the basic academics, in- dependent living skills and social accep- tability. Students in those classes took all of the required subjects. Taught by john Moore, Beverly Nowlin and Mary Ralstin, Trainably Mentally Han- dicapped classes, like E.M.H., stressed in- dependent living and the ablilty to take care of one's self away from school and home. 1.

Education 66 Southeast Asians learn new skills here's only one level to each afternoon class, and the working condi- tions are better, it's a comfortable system, said Dai Nguyen, English as a Second Language instructor. Nguyen was referring to the classroom situation since Grace Blum, the new part time teacher, had join- ed in with Nguyen and Yvonne Allen, also a part time teacher, in educating those Southeast Asians who needed to learn the English languge and the ways of society in America. ESL teaches it's students to speak, read and write the English language. ESL also teaches American cultures four holidays, foods, music, entertainmentj. We help the students to improve their basic skills and we can also help them, to our best abili- ty, in a problem class such as biology or math, explained Nguyen. Students who had come to the United States with no previous education are usual- ly in ESL for two years, but those who had some schooling in the old country are usual- ly in ESL just one year. 1.

ESLXII Classes stand apart from rest cademics was not the only area in which East improved its education, as the in- dustrial arts classes displayed great concern in improving a student's high school education New color equipment worth 320,000 was received by the television classes alone to help give a more advanced learning ex- perience to students. Woods and metal classes also received a new lathe and exhaust system. According to department chairperson Gilbert Lietz, ln today's society, a person has to have the basic education, plus a good background in technical training to survive. This year East is in a unique postion in that it can give a better technical background to students, from more advanced courses to brand new equipment to work with. Another advantage East's industrial arts department had was the fact that it offered the only TV and Electronics classes availiable in the Wichita area. 1.

Whether it be football, debate or jour- nalism, East was the force to be reckoned with. The main reason behind this fact was the spirit of East's people. Last year was the year different cliques of people came together for the first time to really get behind the school and support it. That togetherness evolved into an even stronger unit this year. People from very dif- ferent walks of life who normally wouldn't notice or be likely to get along came together. All to make East a school for it's people. 1.

People DZ'UZil'Z.072 X .Z 1 9 Change in BCE policies affect everyone at East High ew policies and new administrative faces were ushered in with the beginning of school. Some policies were new, some were old but newly enforc- ed. Diana Cubbage stepped in as the new principal. Her entrance coincided with changes already happening in the school system, but as a result, many people identified these changes as being strictly Cubbage's policies. The policies she er1forced were, however, the result of new and old board rulings. Midday snacks became a thing of the past. Board policy dictated that no food was to be consumed outside the cafeteria. Tardiness, for many students, also became a leisure no longer ex- ercised. One hour detention for each tardy, the same as for an unexcused absence, was a deterrent that worked efficiently. This policy was put into effect last spring, but the full impact was felt this fall. Another change that affected all students resulted because of an increased awareness of the need for excellent education. The change was felt both in and out of class. In class, more time was to be spent on task. Out of class, students had more homework. Board of Education policy forced a change in the grading systems of many teachers. Teachers were no longer allowed to average nine week grades together to reach a semester grade. Better education, it was hoped, would result from the changes installed. These new policies were designed to provide the student with more challenging assignments and a better atmosphere in which to complete the work, and thus end up with a better educa- tion. 1.

Students' attitudes revealed in poll t the end of the first nine weeks, a poll was taken on student attitudes toward the new rules and new enforce- ment of old rules. This was to show what the students thought about the rules and how effective they were. These percentages are from the 502 who responded. When asked about the littering on campus, 70 percent said there was less littering and 30 percent said there was no change. Now assemblies were supposed to be spirited, but not to the point of rudeness, and 60 percent felt that assemblies had improved while 40 percent said there was no change. One of the most contraversial issues of the '83-'84 year was eating and drinking in classrooms and hallways. Students were nor- mally hungry before lunch so they needed something to eat. As one student wrote, It's like breakfast, you can't miss it and still work at your full capacity. When they were told not to, some students complained that they knew some teachers who did it. This is not to say that all teachers had broken the rule. One student suggested in the poll that it would have helped if they had let the teachers decide if they wanted eating in the classroom or not. The poll showed that 26 percent hadn't known anyone to eat or drink at all, 24 per- cent knew of only students to have broken the rule, 15 percent knew of only teachers to have done it and 35 percent of the people knew both students and teachers to have broken it. . The Messenger printed an article titled R-rated movies: 34g watch for free at East. It was about students who became too affectionate in the halls. This poll was taken shortly after and included ia question which asked if affection was displayed too much. The majority, 81 percent, said this wasn't true, but 19 percent thought the ar- ticle was correct. Others thought it balanced out between the people who displayed too much affection and those who didn't. But school wasn't only a social and physically nurishing experience. There were those who tried to gain an education. When asked whether an education is important, 49 percent of the smdents said an education was very important, especially if you wanted to go into a certain field, but they also felt that it was being forced upon them. Another 49 percent felt that it was impor- tant and it was their own choice and it wasn't being forced on them. Only 2 per- cent felt that a good education wasn't im- portant. As one student said, I think that if a student has the initiative and the motivation to learn, ,then school can be a fun as well as an educational experience. was is ..,. ,A Wm .ae-4'N 'U -...t as W get ' i was glad it was a surprise, bemuse if they had asked, I would have had to say no, and I did enjoy it, said Marguerita Sherman, French III instructor, of the party given for her on her birthday.

They went from the extremes of starvation to a well- balanced 2000-calorie diet. Starvation involved just what it sounds like, fasting from one day to sometimes a whole week or more. These dieters drank lots of water to flush their systems. However starvation could be damaging to the body if it persisted for too long and in most cases all the lost weight was gained back quickly. Other diet plans, such as the Clmbridge Diet and the jack LeLain Diet, required a dieter to mix a powder-like substance into a beverage three times a day. These supressed the desire to eat. These diets, too, were con- sidered unhealthy if taken for too long, and weight was again easy to gain back. Healthy diets did exist, however. The Hawaii diet was a good one for fruit lovers. It mainly consisted of different tasty fruit concoctions eaten three times a day. The Grapefruit diet was very similar but did not have the added nutrients. The Scarsdale Diet was a well-balanced diet with a very specific menu to follow every day for two weeks. No red meat, no sugar and no starchy food such as white bread or pasta was part of the Predican Diet. The Nutri-System plan was widely spreading across the nation. In this a dieter was given specific foods for each day which could be eaten any time of the day. Dieters were also expected to attend behavior education classes once a week and had to weigh in once a week when they picked up the next week's food. This was a well- balanced diet but was quite expensive to start on. Whichever diet a teen might have decid- ed to try, the caution was to make sure it was safe and sensible. But, whatever the choice, dieting was definitely a way of life. A familiar display at grocery and drug stores is rows and rows of diet products. rss- ii .Qs Mechem, Mary Meis, jennifer Men, Rina Mendoza, Victoria Meyer, Rene Miller, Candy Miller, Chris Miller, Erika Miller, Sean Millsaps, Lisa Mitchell, Janice Moldovan, Russel Monroe, Lori Moore, Dustin Moore, Kirk Moore, Patricia Moore, Paula Morain, Sara Morgan, Diana Mork, justin Moshierq, Sheryl Murphy, Mark Naugle, Kerry Nave, Tony Neal, Patrice Neal-jr. , jesse Nelson, Shelly Newell, Shelley -ik Sopbomores X 12 Newland, john Ngo, Hieu Ngo, Phuong Nguyen, An Nguyen, Dat Nguyen, Hung Nguyen, Mai Nguyen, My-Le Nguyen, Ngoc Nguyen, Nguyet Nguyen, Phuong Nguyen, Thu Nicholas, Kristi Nichols, Laurel Ninh, Mary Notlin, Kelly Nowlin, Sandy Nutter-II, john Oburn, Lesley O'C0nnor, Darrella O'Dav, Lavonda Oliver, Kathleen Oliver, Pamela Olson, Natalie Osborn, Paul Ouk, Rong Oung, Chantha Owens, Barry Pace, john Padilla, Hermelinda Palmer, Michael Parker, Kristi Parks, jamie Parrott, Liz Pauls, Kip Peete, Wendell Perez, Carrie Peters, Steve Pham, Co Pham, Ha Pham, Hoang Pham, Trang Phan, Me Pherigo, Latricia Phillips, Anthony Phillips, Christina Phillips, Patrick Pho, Saphan Phok, Rin Pich, Ponnareay Pickering, Chad Pilcher, Peggy Pittman, Marshall Poole, Cristy Pray, john Prichard.

But there were also shows of drama and adventure such as Hardcastle and McCor- mick, Trauma Center, Scarecrow and Mrs. King and Hotel. These shows and others brought the mystery and suspense, mixed in with a little comedy, to keep the viewers interested. Of course, not all the new fall shows made it. It wasn't always because of having been a bad show. Sometimes certain shows just weren't watched because of the time they were put on. Sometimes they were put opposite a show which had great popularity and they just couldn't compete. But whatever the reason was, the televi- sion was still turned on as often as possible.

During the '50s and the '60s men and women alike wore sweaters with either a large with East written across it or a large E and an airplane. Today most students wear the heavier leather type letter jacket. East's letter clubs have also changed through the years. In the beginning there were lettemen's and letterwomen's clubs. The lettermen's club was open to any boy who had earned an athletic letter for any sport and to team managers who had let- tered. For girls to join the letterwomen's club they had to have earned an all-sport letter or a swimming letter by participating in after-school sports. Today, East has only one club for both girls and boys who have earned an athletic letter: the Varsity Club. Not only can a student earn a letter for sports, but he or she can also try for an academic letter. Academic letters are based on a student's grades earned through specific academic courses. Also, students must have a 3.5 grade point average and 64 letter points by the middle of their senior year. Other letters students can now earn in- clude vocal and instrumental music letters which are earned by participation in con- tests and performances. The journalism let- ter is earned by the production of the year- book and newspapers and by writing and photography contests. Another letter is the forensics letter. This is earned during debates against other schools and by foren- sics contests involving readings of poems, essays and other such matter.

The second thought was how he was going to get there. A variety of different forms of transporta- tion could be seen on campus a little before 8 a.m. School busses filled Circle Drive along with parents' cars dropping off students. Further inside the campus, students' cars searching for that last parking space could be seen in senior lot. If a space wasn't available in senior lot, D lot, across from Vo-Tech, was the final hope for frustrated senior drivers. Parking spaces weren't as hard to find for economy minded students. Bicycles, motor- cycles and mopeds lined the area by the 500 building's doors. But whatever they drove, parking tickets were easier to get this year and were enforc- ed in a different way. Until this year, a SILI- dent could get a ticket and, if he didn't pay, a security officer would visit the stu- dent's class and harass him until the fine was paid. This year, however, the ad- ministration decided to do something dif- ferent, Rather than waste security officer's time, students were required to pay the fine on their own within five days or face suspen- sion. But aside from the different obstacles against a student driving a car to school, it was still one of the main goals of any teenager, because a set of wheels was, in fact, a teenager's main source of in- dependence.

The majority of the time it was pretty safe and fun, but there were times when you just had to be really careful. First of all, before going down Douglas you had to make sure your car was in good running condition and you had plenty of gas. When asked what were some of the fears of dragging Douglas, one junior stated, I'm afraid of getting caught in the middle of the intersection. Another junior said, Once, while going down Douglas, this guy's car stalled and the traffic was getting real backed up, so we stopped and gave him a jump start. Also things that were dangerous at times were kind of funny also. One sophomore stated, When parked down at 'stoned park' we yelled at this one car. It stopped real fast and a car hit them from behind. Communicating was the main purpose of dragging Douglas, but also the most 1 40 fjzmion' dangerous. One had to watch what they said. I've had an inner fear of being shot between the eyes because of saying something wrong, said one junior. Where there was fun there was also a lit- tle trouble. Some people went down Douglas to see friends, meet new people and to have a good time. The only thing about it was that some people's idea of fun was to hit someone's car, get in a gang fight, get drunk or take drugs. A junior described an incident which she witnessed: Going down Douglas one night we saw this fight going on. One of the guys in the car had crutches, and he started beating up the guy outside the car with his crutches. Another guy came up. We thought he was going to break up the fight, but instead he had a gun. He held it to the head of the driver. After all of that we left! A senior described another incident in which she was involved: One night going down Douglas with a bunch of friends, we were talking slang to other people and one of the guys in our car said, 'Your mama' to this one guy. He got really upset with us Douglas is a popular scene on Friday and Saturda nights. and wanted to fight. I just kept saying, 'Leave,' but the guy driving said, 'OK, we'll fight you.' So the guy in the other car jumped out and hit our friend in the jaw. Two of our friends started to jump out and fight, but this guy pulled out a knife. It ruined our whole night, so we went home! ' ' The wise students learned that if they wanted to go down Douglas it might be smart to watch what they said and be prepared for anything that might happen.

High school slang remains popular throughout the year uring the last two decades high school students created and used slang words as part of everyday conversation. Some words from the '50s and '60s were still used, but some had also undergone quite a change by the '80s. A good looking girl in the '50s was a doll, as opposed to a dog, who was an ugly girl. A good looking guy was a hunk, freaks were people who were strange and a farmer or hick was someone who wasn't Hin. Athletes were jocks, and if something was spectacular it was referred to as cool or bitchin. If a person got angry he was said to have lost his cool, or if he was drunk he was bombed out. fjzmiorr In the early '60s the group which drove loud, noisy cars were called greasers, in opposition to the ivy leaguers who wore oxford, button-down shirts and loafers and drove convertibles. In the later '60s were the flower children, hippies or long- hairsf' They referred to policemen as pigs and everything was mellow. During the '70s and early '80s, while some slang had remained, such as pigs and dogs, new slang had evolved. Pigs also came to be referred to as the fuzz, freaks were people who took drugs and socials were snobby people. When a person was humiliated he was said to have been dogged If a person was relaxing he was mellowing or cool- ing out, and if he was excited or upset he was freaking out or going off. For a short time valley talk was a big thing. Bitchin was a word that cami back as well as new ones such :U awesome, totally and 'ici sure. In the '80s students got together to g1 party, and when they got drunk they wer' bombed, trashed or wasted Bu sometimes when they drank too much thej blew chow or kissed the porcelin. god. People dressing in polos, Izods or oxforc cloths were preppies, but some got inn leather pants, dyed hair and wild clothe and were called punk or new wave. Slang will always be something used in high school. Some words will stay, some wil change and some will be forgotten. Bu slang made life a little more interesting.

Gpen lunch time s the school bell rang at 12:10, East High students scampercd to their cars, to the cafeteria or to the local restaurants close to East. Lunchtime had finally arrived. Students were allowed 50 minutes to eat, then they had to return to class for sixth hour. Where did students go? We usually go to McDonalds. Sometimes we take it to Schweiter Park and eat it there, said one senior girl. Picnicing at Schweiter and College Hill parks offered a relaxed atmosphere and a feeling of freedom from being inside the school building all day. The McDonalds on South Hillside had at- tracted East High students for years. It was close, and the service was fairly fast, which made it possible for students to make it back to class by 1 p.m. Charles Shelby his lunch from the vending machines. offers wide Variety Other popular restaurants included Con- ey Island, Wendy's, Taco Tico, The Grinder Man, Pizza Hut and Nu Way. Restaurants within walking distance were Hardees and Sub-n-Stuff. I don't have a car so I just go to Hardees. It's close to school and they're usually pretty fast, said a sophomore boy. The cafeteria also offered a wide variety of food to students, plus it was not quite so expensive and eliminated the worries of rac- ing back to school to make the Abell. The food in the cafeteria is pretty good. They give you quite a few choices. I go to Hardees sometimes too, said one junior. Wherever students took off to for lunch, the open lunch policy allowed kids to take a short but much-needed break from school and enjoy the variety of foods of many restaurants.

I never thought I'd make it this far. said senior Liz Kopper. Being a senior meant being the student leaders of the school. The sophomores look- ed up to the seniors, and the juniors envied them. Many seniors went all out in activities and in spirit since it was their last year at East. They were involved in both Spirit Weeks, Homecomings, Prom and, of course, graduation. Seniors also involved themselves in academics such as the ACT tests, applying for scholarships, applying at various colleges and many more.

For most it brought changes in life that teenagers must adjust to. Registering for the draft was a duty required of males after turning 18. This posed a problem for some if their religious beliefs opposed the military draft. More and more males around the country were standing up for their religious rights regarding the draft and chose jail over sign- ing. However, the First Amendment of the United States allowed a draft, and many honored it. I feel it's an American duty for every 18-year-old male to register for the draft, said senior Keith Lawing. Another privilege after turning 18 was to exercise one's constitutional right to vote. To register, you could go down to the City Court House, or to one of the many. registration booths set up, give name and address and state whether you were Democrat or Republican, then vote when- there was a primary or general election. Turning 18 made parents realize that their kids were growing up and that soon they would no longer be under their care. 1'hey'd be out on their own, starting their own lives. Most parents were proud of their teenagers and felt they had given them the best outlook on life they possibly could. Buying beer was once again a favorite passtime for East's teenagers. I loved be- ing carded when I bought beer, just to pro- ve that I was really 18, stated an 18-year- old senior. Going to the local bars was also popular for 18-year-olds. Being with friends and meeting new ones was part of the at- mosphere, along with having a few beers, sitting back and relaxing.

Seniors retain trad ne thought seems to in- variably enter the minds of high school students at one time or another: just wait until I'm a senior... Part of this anticipation over becoming a senior was due to various, often funny, ac- tivities, which could most appropriately be called senior antics. Sporting events were a memorable part of seniors' lives at East, so it seemed natural that many humorous activities stemmed from them. A cluster of seniors seated in the itions and more. .. middle of the stands at football games showed their spirit with cheers which senior Todd Yeargan described as slightly dif-I ferent from the norm. One stunt which stirred up some con- troversy was the theft of the spirit stick by a few seniors, who later returned it, having painted '84 all over it. Seniors continued to declare gyp days and make a mockery of senior dress-up day by wearing shorts with a sport coat and tie. 15 0 !Sem'orr East defeat of K-MC is first in 14 years C t's our night!, said Coach Chuck Porter, at the assembly on Sept. 22, as' everyone screamed and yell- ed. two years coming close to beating our rivals we felt it was our turn. The excitement grew through the day and 10,000 people were expected at the game. Since 1980, Kapaun-Mount Carmel had not been defeated. It had been even longer, since 1968, that East High had defeated them. And since then, East had lost 14 in a row-to K-MC. You could feel the excitement in the air, and boy was our team determined. As it neared 7:30 p.m., our team, with their heads held high, came running out chant- ing, Blue Machine, and ran through the run-through which the spirit groups had made, and past two lines, each 50 yards long, of people to cheer the team on. All geared up, it was time for the teams to face each other in a very important game. A . . Yes, after East led only 7-0 with the final seconds of the firsf half ticking away. But just then, with fast thinking and moving, the team got together for another touchdown, en- ding the first half with the score of 14-0. After getting their second wind during half time our team came out ,ready to win. Scoring three more touchdowns was exactly what they did, defeating Kapaun with a 34-0 win. Porter stated, East High needed this win. I am delighted with the whole football team. Yes, indeed it was our night and we prov- ed to everyone just how we felt.

East athletic direc- tor Bill Himebaugh said the reason for this was because interest for thot Ve two sports was low. Another reason was that there were no coaches. In order to have a golf team, East needed at least five girls who knew the basic skills, were willing to practice every day and who owned their own clubs. When Himebaugh held a meeting for those interested, only two showed up. For women gymnasts to organize a team there rriust have been at least eight to 10 members, including two all-around members. In the past years, East has had to forfeit their meets because they did not have enough members. Not having a team to practice with did not stop everyone from competing, however. Senior golfer Sandy Morris practic- ed every day by herself and without a coach, and her efforts paid off. She placed third in Regionals, which qualified her for State. Morris didn't place in State but com- mentedthat she S' 'learned 'a lot' during the competition. And she saw to it that Eas was represented'well:on the state, level. Sandy Morris, senior, demonstrates the swing whicl took her to State.

The presence of six foreign ex- change students, represen- ting Germany, Spain, Sweden and Brazil, made it possible to hear them in the halls, at football games and at dances. As with many East students, sports were an important part of the lives of the ex- change students. Peter Langueis, a senior from Sweden, and Lorenzo Lopez, a junior from Spain, were members of the men's cross-country team. Competing on the make adjustments women's tennis team was the form which senior Carolin Hoffman, a native of Ger- many, chose. East's athletic teams received added support from the exchange students, as they often joined their new classmates in the stands at the various sporting events. The exchange students made the adjust- ment from life in their home countries to life in the United States look easy as they got involved in nearly all facets of school life at East. Their year-long visit was sponsored by the American Student Exchange Pro- gram, whose purpose it is to increase world- wide understanding of foreign cultures.

As Wichita's oldest high school, East had had many years to accumulate its own set of traditions. Many traditions at East centered around the senior class. Use of Senior Hall and the senior parking lot had long been rewards for reaching the pinnacle of public education. Senior Corner dated back to the earliest days of the school as a symbol of the senior class. Although not a school-sanctioned event, senior gyp days had also become an East High tradition. Homecoming was responsible for creating several traditions of its own over the years. Spirit Week, the pre-game honk parade, floats and the Sadie Hawkins dance were well-established features of East's Homecoming celebration. Cheerleaders, letter jackets and pep assemblies were additional present-day reminders of times past. As the years continue to bring change to East, hopefully traditions such as these will allow us to move onward, while stilli remembering our p2St. Seniors Bin H0CflCI, Pat Wilson and Todd Yeargan assemble m Senior Corner one traditional activity of seniors Senior: not pictured are as follows: Anderson, Randy Andrews, Stephen Ayento, Richard Bennett, Gregory Blalodt, Brenda Bryant, Donald Buggs, Abbey Burgardt, Sheri Carr, Brian Chavez, Vincent Claibofrn, Neva Clark, juanita Colvin, Ervin Crocklin, Calvin Custard, Pamela Custard, Paula Deeble, Lon Edwards, Duraci Evans, Rhonda Fields, Terri Guinn jr. , jimmy Gulley, Sharon Harper, Christopher Hood, Janice jones, james Kemp, Katricia Majors, Mary McGairty, Charles McGhee, Therese Men, Yari Miller, Stanley Nguyen, Chat Phillips, Barnard Phillips, Brady Powell, Michelle Reese, Tyron Regular, Valorie Rice, Timothy Santander, Angelica Sease, Dee Smith, Beverly Smith, Howard Spencer, Sammie Thomas, Donald Walker, Cecil Washington, David Wellbrock, Brenda Wheaton, Lenora White, Troy Williams, Sylvia U 1.

N .31 1 Prom Prom crowns year he 1984 junior-Senior Prom was held May 19, at the All America Indian Center. The- theme Rapsody in Blue was chosen in accordance with the 60th anniversary of the building, since it was a very popular song in the '20s. The Dj was Eddie Griswald, who had previously entertained at the homecoming dances. Prom Committee, directed by Denise Sundquist, chairperson, put in many long hours of hard preparation beginning in Oc- tober. julie Wilson, chairperson of decora- tions, and her committee decided to hand- make all decor, including music notes and mural scenes from the '20s. They also film- ed a TV commercial shot at the Indian Center and shown in the halls during Prom ticket sales. After the Prom Committee made the final plans, it was up to the individual to put on the finishing touches. Making last minute arrangements to get one's hair styl- ed, dresses ironed, tuxes and flowers picked up and last-minute phone confirmations for dinner reservations made resulted in a hec- tic Friday and Saturday. Then the moment came. The day-long rains cleared, and the Wichita River Festival fireworks added a romantic note to the evening as couples strolled out to the river to watch the display. They returned to the coronation ceremony. The red carpet was rolled out and the couples introduced. Amy Hall, 1983 Prom Queen, entered and presented a bouquet of roses and a crown to the 1984 Queen, jill Nye. The king, Brad Speer, was then named, and the couple began a cor- onation dance. All too soon the evening was over, a signal that graduation would follow shortly, bringing with it an end to 12 years of public school for the seniors in attendance. Prom Seniors gear up for their graduation s a sophomore, participating in them was a faraway dream, as a junior it was one step closer to reality, but as a senior, participating in the senior activities was like living in a dream, one step above reality. May's schedule of school activities ex- clusive to seniors was packed, each activity quickly followed by the next. The girls kicked off the festivities with the annual SeniorJunior Girls' Breakfast at Brown's Grill. At the breakfast, seniors made the juniors stand up and sing I'm a Little Teapot, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and We Love You Seniors, said senior organizer Susie Dunlap. That merriment, she added, was followed by breakfast. The men joined the women in celebrating the approaching end of their high school education at the Senior-junior Prom. The next day was an all-city senior con- vocation and reception at Century II. Later that same week those seniors who had significant accomplishments in high school and in competing for scholarships were honored at the Senior Honors Con- vocation sponsored by the National Honor Society in the auditorium. With 385 graduating seniors, almost S200,000 in col- lege scholarships was awarded as well as many other high school honors. During the day, before the evening's Convocation, many seniors distinguished themselves by participating in the annual Senior Dress Up Day. The traditional formality was sprinkled with the also tradi- tional semi-formal attire, semi-formal in that a jacket and tie is formal, but the Hawaiian shorts are not. No sooner than one group of activities was over, a new date would approach, holding even more senior pre-graduation festivities. May 25 was the seniors' last day, beginning with senior breakfast, progress- 1 Senior Acthzities ing through graduation rehersal and ending with Project Graduation, which endured until yet another breakfast the next morn- ing. Project Graduation was a new activity for seniors, one aimed at providing for their safety on the last day of school. The party was supported by area businesses and private individuals whose support was solicited by a parent, student, faculty and administration Project Graduation Com- mittee. Beginning at 8 p.m. at the YWCA with activities including dancing, eating, laughing and the awarding of door prizes donated by various businesses and radio sta- tions, it ended at 5 a.m. in a grand finale: the drawing for a free car donated by Stout- Crawford AMC. Such activities rewarded the seniors' 13 years of study and were an exciting prelude to the receipt of their diplomas at Century II's Convention Hall. 1.

Senior Activities 1 Graduation brings an end to long wait for class of '84 e had a great deal of time to get used to the idea of graduating. When it was all over, though, we knew that nothing could have prepared us for commencement. Senior activities began early in May, all leading up to that one long-awaited Sunday afternoon at Century II. As we took part in the Prom, gyp day, senior breakfast and the Honors Convocation, commencement still seemed distant and unreal. Relaxed after a weekend of parties, we started arriving at Century II just after noon. We milled around, looking for the people with whom we were supposed to walk. As we found our partners and got lin- ed up for the processional, the air of tension that one might expect was noticeably miss- ing. As we heard the first strains of Pomp and Circumstance, we began walking arm in arm into the Convention Hall, in much the same manner as we might walk into a movie theatre with a date and look for seats. We took our seats, unaffected by the significance of the occasion. Having listened to the invocation, delivered by Wes Anderson, and the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Randy Lewis, we settl- ed back as the choir performed a few selec- tions. Still we felt none of the emotion that is always associated with graduation. The three commencement speakers, Paul Mayer, Dan Peebler and Curtis Staley, held our attention with their memorable speeches. Mayer's address was titled Of Histories, About Future and For Love. Destined To Carry On was the theme of Peebler's presentation. Staley gave the final address, Confidence In Tomorrow. Following principal Diana Cubbage's presentation of the class of '84, we began filing up to the stage to receive our diplomas. Associate principal Sam Allen's 1 2 Graduation voice sounded far away as he announced each of our names. Accepting the diploma and walking across the stage was a mere reflex action, emotionless and well- rehearsed. After the benediction, delivered by Phil Barnes, we cooly shifted our tassels from left to right, signifying our transformation from high school seniors to graduates. Then it happened. As we hurled our mortar boards skyward and sang the alma mater one last time, the sobbing and the hugging and kissing finally began. At last we all came to the sudden, simultaneous realization that this phase of our life wa now complete. Friends held each other, maybe for the last time, trying as hard to hold on tc memories as they tried to hold each other Flashes lit up laughing and crying face: alike as we took snapshots in an effort tc preserve the relationships that we hae cultivated and cherished at East. Then we walked out. As we took our first steps out of Century II, we took our firsi steps away from high school and out intc the larger, unknown world in which we must build our futures. 1 4 i l l i i i is .wg A 4 S s Qs A X 1.

Wzcbz By julie Wilson Reprinted from The Messenger It was a cloudy day, Oct. 8, but the faces of 1,680 students were bright. The gym- nasium grew full and a word of welcome was extended by L.W. Brooker, principal. Each student received a plan of the building, a class schedule, a list of teachers and other general information. The first full day of school resumed the following day. School was starting a month late. For the students who began school that day, it wasn't like starting a typical high school year. - - - - . , Sixty years ago, Oct. 8, Wichita High School opened its doors to a new building on East Douglas for the first time. Wichita's new million dollar high school wasn't even complete when the year began. The auditorium and labs were unfinish- ed, along with several classrooms that lack- ed paint, heating apparatus or electric fix- tures. The tower was also unfinished. But the time had come for the grand opening of the largest high school in Kansas. fl :lst Extra street cars were operated by the Wichita Railroad and Light Company on Douglas Ave. that day. It was reported that 1,500 students rode these during the morn- ing and noon hour. That first day was a memorable one to the class of '24, for they would be the first to graduate from the new building that, 60 years later, the class of '84 is graduating from. Why a new school? In 1896, J. Hudson McKnight bought an expanse of land for 5150,000. The boun- daries included what are now Douglas, Grove, Kellogg and Hydraulic. He later sold 65 acres of the land to the city for schools. Roosevelt was the first school to be built on the land, in 1921. During that same year, the plans for the new Wichita High School were developed after students paraded down town in sup- port of a bond issue for the school. The old Wichita High School had become too small for the number of students enrolled. The construction of the new school began zs 60 after the one million dollar bond issue was passed in February of 1921. Lorentz Schmidt designed many schools during the twenties, and Wichita High School was included. Schmidt described the style of the school as modified Collegiate Gothic. The total cost of the school was 151,04-l,810.85. The construction expense fincluding the general, plumbing, electrical contracts etc.j totaled S861,405.82, and the equipment for all the rooms, lockers, gym- nasium etc. totaled S183,405.08. jean Spalding, technical assistant in budget management for the Wichita Board of Education, said that to build the same school today, it would cost approximately 319 million. The building itself was the largest in Kansas and possibly the entire country dur- ing the '20s. The total floor space was just under five acres. It was built into three separate buildings: the main building, the gymnasium and the shops. During the course of 60 years, much of the building has stayed the same. The rooms have been modernized, but the gym- nasium, auditorium and the swimming pool are almost identical to what they were in 1923. The cafeteria and library have been mov- ed in recent years. The cafeteria was located where the music department is now, and the library was located in what is now the Support Service Center. There was also a teachers' cafeteria, which was situated where the journalism room is now. One big change is the restrooms. They are situated in the same places, but the layout of the room was quite different. There was a couch and chairs and a desk .M X, 76 60th Anniversary years old in 1 984 along with the usual sink and toilet. Other rooms that existed were the effec- tive speaking room, the concentration study room and the print shop. The effective speaking room is now used for forensics, and the concentration study room is the math! computer lab. Along with room changes, the teachers and administrators have, of course, also changed. In that new building, the purpose was still to learn. And to keep everyone in line was principal L.W. Brooker. The vice- principal was B.W. Uncle Benny Turesdale. There were 83 teachers in 14 depart- ments. The teacher salary in the '20s was around S1,116, compared to today's S14,000. A teacher shortage occurred right before Wichita High School opened. But in 1923, the shortage was under control, so the BOE decided against hiring married women, ex- cept in an emergency. Today, there are also different levels of classes available to the students. Advanced Placement, the regular class and special education classes help the students work at their own pace. What courses a student takes now is also a determinant in how much work and study time is involved. Outside of classrooms there were ex- tracurricular activities. Wichita High School was not as developed in the way of athletics before 1923, but in that year more activities began happening. Nineteen twenty-three was said to be the best year for sports in Wichita High School's nearly 30 year history at that time. In football, the team had an even record, but Wichita scored 100 more points than all of their opponents. In 1983 in football, the Aces took the state title and outscored their opponents by 201 points. As the fall sports wrapped up for Wichita High School, they began basketball as East does now. Wichita High School, for the second Basketball for East this year soared high for both the girls' and boys' teams. The boys grabbed the City League title along with the girls' sharing the City League title with West. After grabbing the City League title, the Aces took Sub-State and then traveled to State. The boys accepted third at State while the girls took fourth. Besides having a winning season, the boys swept the All-City team. For the first time, four players from the same team were placed on the All-City team of five. Not to be outdone, the girls' team set their own record by winning the City League championship for the fourth con- secutive year. They had their picture and a write-up in The Wichitan magazine for the honor. Other sports that were at Wichita High in that first year were track, wrestling and ten- nis. The inter-class track meet was won by the seniors, the tennis team went undefeated and the wrestling team was said The same basic classes were provided in 1923. But the school also offered a normal fteacherj training and effective speaking course. The basics they did offer were such courses as math, English and science. What wasn't offered were the classes that help develop the students' skills' and talents, such as drama, debate and accounting. In the subjects that were provided, there were different levels of study. There were classes called honor, average and opportuni- ty. Each stood for the basic meaning of the word. season, won the Arkansas Valley Basketball Championship. Wichita also won the district meet and was runner-up in the state meet in the '23-'24 season. In 1982-83, the team won the sub-state title and was fourth in State. Because of the 22-3 record the 1923-24 team ended up with, they traveled to Chicago for the National Basketball Tour- nament. Although the team did not win the na- tional championship, one year later the team of 1924-25 won it in Chicago. to have had an excellent season, but no statistics were given. More sports have been developed since 1923-24. These include volleyball, cross country, golf, swimming and soccer. Besides the sports, East has had quite a number of changes that have occurred in the 60 years the building has been open. Clothing styles and student attitudes are two of a long list. But the school itself has stayed the same old Wichita High School lEast1. 60th Anniversary 1 60th anniversary he 1983-84 school year was the 60th anniversary of the building we have come to know as East High. We celebrated the event with a reunion in May and special events thoughout the year. But great changes took place outside the walls of our school, throughout the nation and the world itself. It was an election year, with the race for the presidency still in its early stages. President Reagan an- nounced his candidacy for re-election late in the race, and the democratic nomination was sought by Walter Mondale, Gary Hart and jessie jackson. President Reagan also took a week-long trip to China, a trip not taken by a U.S. president since Richard Nixon visited in 1972. 1984 was also an Olympic year. The winter games in Sarajevo were postponed due to bad weather and marked the fall of 1980's triumphant American hockey team. The summer Olympics took on a more poitical aspect, with the Soviets and other Communist nations backing out of the games. But the Olympics wasn't the only story associated with Communism. In September of '83, Air Korea flight 007 was shot down by a Soviet fighter over Soviet territory. The jetliner had strayed off course, and the Soviets claimed it was a spy plane, but many civilian lives were lost. President Reagan called the outrage a barbaric act. The Russians were not the only ones to engage in acts of war, however. U.S. intervention in Central America, Grenada and the Middle East was intended to deterr the spread of Communism. Grenada, especially, recharged the military spirit of much of the nation. U.S. competes in the XIV Ol mpics he grandstand was only half filled, in 1924, with a crowd of 2,089 as the athletes from 18 countries paraded through the narrow streets of Chamonix, France. One team member car- ried the flag of his nation, as his teammates followed, carrying the equipment for the sport in which they participated. Their destination? Mont Blanc, an ice rink, which was to be the central cermonial spot for the 1924 Olympics. Sixty years have passed since the United States first traveled abroad in '24 to star in the Olympics. Although the XIV Winter Olympic Games in 1984 were delayed because of heavy snowfall in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, eight medals were brought home by the U.S. athletes. On july 28, 1984, in Los Angeles, California, the competition began for the 1984 Summer Olympic Games. The winter althletes heralded the triumph of U.S.A. in Sarajevo as the sum- mer athletes wrapped up the Games in Los Angeles. 1 !Tl9rough the Year year is eventful Public opinion about arms and war was sometimes varied, but one thing the public agreed on was the threat of a- nuclear holocaust. Television presented The Day After, a drama shot in Lawrence, Ks., that shocked viewers even deeper into fear. What sent people into even more unrest was the death of Soviet President Yuri Andropov. The world waited to see what changes would be made by his suc- cessor, Constantin Chernenko. Another change in office was the resignation of Secretary of Interior, james Watt. It was a pressured resignation caused by Watt's comments about minorities. Other words from Washington caused several changes in students' lives. At the beginning of the school year, the Nation at Risk report came out. It was a Washington study that stressed academic classes. Students came the first day of school to be surprised with schedule changes they hadn't planned on. The Kansas drinking age was considered for change toward April and May. Seniors just turning 18 watched and listened for news of the law's chances of going into effect and were relieved when the motion to raise the drinking age for 3.2 beer to 19 was tabled for a year. Teens also watched and listened for news when superstar Michael jackson's hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. After that incident, jackson went on to film the landmark Thriller video and was decorated by President Reagan for donationg the song Beat lt for use in an anti-drunk driving campaign. These were not, of course, the only events of 1983-84, but they reflect the highlights of events with which students were concerned. New fads in ads up interest verywhere you went you could have found Wendy's famous slogan, Where's the beef? Going through a grocery store you saw a sign in the meat department that said, Here's the beef. While shopp- ing you went by a clothing store which sold Where's the beef? decals. When you turned on the radio, KEYN held a Where's the beef? contest to win but- tons. Still others used the slogan for numerous articles such as Newsweek's political race liven between Gary Hart and Walter Mondale in their bid for the Democratic nomination. Even students used the slogan in ways too numerous to even begin mentioning. Where's the beef? was just one of the ads that came out with a way of attracting viewers' interest. In order to keep interest up, the advertisers used stars QTV or moviej, hit songs or hit videos. Pepsi's Close En- counters of the Third Kind ripoff or their use of Michaeljackson's adaptation of Bil- lyjean' ' for commercial use were perfect ex- amples. Some companies hired famous movie directors to boost sales. And although it was not new, a large portion of ads went to the use of put-downs of com- petitors, even mentioning names. But of all the attention-getting ads, the biggest sellers of products was through sexual exploitation or suggestions. The one glaring exception was, of course, the 82 year old woman who became an over- night star and millionaire through the Wendy's ad campaign. The advertisers had to jazz up the commercials in order to keep their businesses going. Because of cable and pay TV, people started switching channels so they could avoid the commercials. With HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, MTV, com- puters and video recorders, commercials had been turned off' or tuned out. The challenge was great for the adver- tisers. So they made these major attempts to attract attention. These commercials broke up the old style of advertising and created a new style for the new generation. TV movie mixes viewers' feelings here had never been a movie like ABC's The Day After, nor any video event that had stirred so much ex- citement in so many places before it even arrived. What most explained the unprecedented controversy surrounding the show was the fact that it made people conscious of what could possibly happen. The nuclear question had caught the public awareness with more intensity than could be imagined in the past. The movie left many viewers numbed by a sense of hopelessness that they one day might encounter the unthinkable fate of a nuclear war. Instead of being so naive of the fact that in just one day the whole world could end, people were more aware and were acting on the subject. East High teams go to state level n 1984, most teams exceeded what was expected of them and moved into the highest position: state competition. It was a grueling season for the varsity football squad, but they succeed- ed in beating Kaupan-Mt. Carmel, which hadn't been done since 1968. Losing only one game during the City League season motivated the team on to the state tourna- ment. They defeated Shawnee Mission West and won the State 6A championship for the second year in a row. It was also a tough year for the boys' var- sity basketball team, which won 20 games and lost only four. The team beat North and Northwest in the City League tourna- ment and clenched the City League title. They moved on to the state tournament and placed third in State. The women's varsity team also took the City League title, for the fourth year in a row. The girls placed fourth in the state tournament at Lawrence. East's varsity volleyball team also moved into one of the state positions, taking se- cond in State and first in the City League. The men's cross country team went to State and placed ninth. They also placed se- cond in the 6A regionals meet. Women's cross country took third in the City League meet. Sandy Morris was the lone golfer for East- in '84, due to lack of enough interest from the sudent body to form a team. But she proved herself and moved up to State. In fact, every fall and winter sports team represented East at State, and by April it ooked like several of the spring teams ould do as well. Every team proved that they were capable of winning and showed their spirit and pride for East High. .........,..........i.1.p.,:,- ....,....,. .....,, .,...g,,l,. ..p., ..... . . .

According to the students surveyed, Footloose was by far the best movie, with Splash running a close second.

Songs in- cluding Billy jean, Beat It, PYT and the theme song, Thriller, could be heard pouring from car stereos, jam boxes and walkmans all over. ' jackson also signed with the Pepsi Cola Co., releasing memorable commercials in which he sang, You're the Pepsi Genera- tion to the music of Billy jean. jackson also set a fashion trend of wearing one glove which was gaudily decorated with rhinestones. jackson personally presented one of these gloves to a teen with cerebral palsy who could not attend one of his con- certs.

At that time prohibition was repealed and the 3.2 beer drinking age set, at 18. The 1984 Kansas Legislature set out to make a change, led by many Republican leaders. Proposed was a bill to raise the legal 3.2 beer drinking age to 19. The attempt was postponed until the election year was over, but as senior Todd Yeargan said, It stirred a lot of people, and most thought it would pass. A legislative committee of the regular ses- sion of the 1984 Kansas Legislature passed a bill that would raise the drinking age to 19 if adopted by the Senate. Senators voted 21-19 not to vote in the regular session, however, and to postpone the final decision until a special clean-up session in order to give them time to establish the tI'l1C facts concerning the issue. Senator Ed Reilly described the debates as being primarily emotional. We've never had the facts. We lhadj a lot of emotional gobbledygook. As well as a deficit of facts, some reports were conflicting. Senator Wint Winter said, We lhavel statistics that suggestledl rais- ing the drinking age lwouldl help in highway deaths. We also lhave hadl reports that say the opposite. Senators, however, were not forced to make a decision as to which evidence to believe, because the bill was sent back to committee until a later session of Congress, one at the beginning of the next elected term. beer Through the Yearfl 79 East High School's sixty year evolution is now complete n 1924 what is now East High was built and students established a tradition of excellence.
