ls caused by I Changel......., Change is constant, and almost unavoidable. For some, change is good, it enables us to grow. But for others, change only destroys what was. Changing needs make up a big part of changes in themselves. Needs have changed, thus causing the students and administrators to alter old ideas and transform them into new. For the third year in a row students were forced to adjust to another prin- cipal, as Dr. Paul Longhofer replaced Diana Cubbage, who had replaced Dr. R. Larry Roberts. Cherie Miller also replaced Howard Moore as assistant principal. In addition to the new administra- tion, there were also several new faculty members, including teachers throughout all departments, counselors, drama and vocal music directors, and two new head coaches. The arrival of the coaches and per- forming arts directors was of great importance as all four had incredible records to live up to. With the changes in staff and equipment also came some changes in school policies. Among the new policies was the relaxation of the dress code, which enabled students to wear shorts, a classroom food policy, which allowed students to have food and drink in classrooms with the teachers' consent, and, most importantly, a modified attendance policy, which involved a lot of paper- work but successfully kept most students in school. A change that caused some disagreement among some students and faculty was the cancellation of the annual performance of the Messiah by the vocal music depart- ment. However the administration en- dorsed the decision based on the fact that only 50 students were enrolled in vocal music while the tradition of the Messiah was established when the average vocal music enrollment was 300, more appropriate for such a grand scale performance. As time passes, almost everything changes, buildings, education, trends and people, East High changes. UPPER LEFT: Aces' spirit soars high as balloons are launched at an outdoor sports assembly.

Come from afar to F aces! The school year brought many changes and challenges that made people stop and take a new look around themselves. Many of those students saw something new arising in the '80s. Everywhere they looked people and places had taken on a new look. Even the yearbook staff noticed the difference. And the theme, a New Perspective, was selected. The stu- dent body could relive the changes and hold the memories that had taken place by simply opening their '84-'85 yearbook. This was the second year East had welcomed foreign exchange students from all over the world. This time East High had 15 students, some of whom were new residents of America and others foreign exchange students. The variety of these students' cultures was tremendous. We had students from Sweden, Den- mark, lran, West Germany, Spain, France, Equador, Brazil and Mexicof Most students felt East was very fortunate to have such unique foreign students. And theygdisliked the idea of saying goodbye to them when the 1 time came for their new friends to leave. But, with a pen, a piece of notebook paper and an occasional glance at the yearbook, those 15 students would not be forgotten.
