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.
