East High School - Echoes Yearbook (Wichita, KS)

just another year of fun, excitement Loud music, fast cars and all-night parties was sometimes the impression students gave of their attitude toward life, as they extend- ed their fun times away from school to all over Wichita. Students seemed to party any time and any place they could, proving that the best remedy for school-related stress was to have a good time. Spending money seemed to dominate other students' time, from shopping in Towne East, to going out for dinner and a concert. Many students found money hard to come by and ended up spending much of their after-school time and weekends work- ing. Many students had jobs at Towne East or the other malls, or in restaurants and supermarkets. Before and after school time for others meant preparation for an upcoming tourna- ment or game. Athletes, performers, debators and others spent time every week, sometimes every night, to be the best in their activity. School spirit was stronger than ever as all classes got involved in Homecoming, Hangar dances, junior-Senior Prom and other after-hours school activities. Students always ended up satisfied, showing that school wasn't always serious business. jason Thomas IMMEDIATE RIGHT: Clowns, beach bums and an East High Ace were just a few of the many costumes displayed at the Hangar board's Neewollah dance.

New, old club offer many choices T 1 1 1 1 Students crowded around the desk of a stressed teacher, begging for club cards. As they collected their cards they began to ask each other questions about the clubs. Whatever your interest, there was always a club for you, as many students found out and began exploring new clubs. Adding to the list of new clubs were Multi-Cultural Club, which allowed many of its members to get to know more about the ethnic groups of their fellow students, and High Five, which enabled students to raise their grade point average at least .5 percent higher than it was before. Two clubs in their second year of ex- istence had drastically increased member- ship. Modeling Club planned to put on at least one fashion show, in the spring with Dillards, and Film Society had to find ways to limit enrollment. While many investigated the newer clubs, others stuck to more familiar ones such as Spirit Club, in which students spent the period learning chants and listening to coaches speak about the upcoming games. Spirit Cabinet and Hangar Board got off to a busy start when they sponsored such dances as the Toga dance at the beginning of the year when everyone showed off their talent for turning sheets into fashionable RIGHT: Home Economics Related Occupations members discuss plans for their Thanksgiving bake sale and Christmas botique, Calico Corner.

Orgamkatiom designs, and the Neewollah dance when students showed up in their Halloween costumes. Cheerleaders and the pom pon squad had their share of fun in helping cheer on the athletes. And pep band members got everyone into the spirit of the game with popular tunes. Academically-oriented clubs had their piece of the pie with contests and several other competitive events. Among these clubs were French Club, Industrial Arts Club and German Club, who threw a Christmas party and ate German food. French Club enrollees enjoyed the delicious pastries of France as they prepared them. And Industrial Arts Club held several fund raisers to help pay for spring trips. The person who had a knack for acting and was overwhelmed with curiousity for the theatre enrolled in Drama Club and was able to attend such things as a series of seminars followed by a banquet and perfor- mance at the Crown Uptown Dinner Theatre and a trip to Munsie, Idaho for the International Thespians Conference. It seemed that the many organizations helped students live their lives to the fullest.
