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.

Soclalizing is Act iv i tyl In the social life of teenagers, the main concern was whether you were involved in the music scene, and the new administration took note of that concern. Their first assembly of the year featured the band Free Fare, which consisted of five teenage members. The band helped support the United Way fundraising week at East. They mostly played rock music and had a Star Wars spoof which involved students and teachers. The foreign exchange students were impressed with the number of people involved in music. While their tastes in music were very similar, usually in their country they would listen to a song and forget about it. In our country students would listen to a song overand over again. For many foreign students the preoccupation with music was totally new. ln their country they were more concerned with school and with political problems that affect the pre- sent and future. They usually didn't have to worry about what they were going to do after school and on Fri- day nights. They didn't go out much in the evening, spending their even- ings at home working on school assignments. But it was impossible to generalize because their home cultures were so very different from one another's. While the majority seemed over- whelmed with the social freedom of students, for others, American America's social life was even more restrictive. After school they usually to cinemas, parties and would go pubs, for there was no drinking age in some of their home countries. Whatever the differences, foreign exchange students were very in- teresting to know because they could teach you about their disciplines and cultures, and we could teach them about ours..
