Boosters, PTSA back many activities One of the many projects sponsored by the PTSA is the hospitality room offered for spectators at basketball games. In this room, people can relax and socialize for a while away from the loud, cheering fans, before going back to the game. Pancake Day, the annual awards banquet, and the coaches ' dinner and dance were just a few of all the activities sponsored by the Booster Club. Helping to raise money for var- ious school-sponsored groups was one of the important things done by the Booster Club. One way or another, directly or indirectly, the funds raised by them went to the students or to the building. Besides holding meetings among parents, teachers, and stu- dents, the PTSA was busy raising funds for school materials. The group raised money for student aid and for both curricular and extra- curricular activities. One important goal of the PTSA was to raise the quailty of televi- sion programs for youth. Pancake Day was a day when parents, teachers and students got together to raise money for the Booster club. Mrs. Shirley Fellman was one of the mothers who parti- ciated. She seems to be enjoying herself as she pours pancake batter on the huge griddles. Senior Craig Tideback is introduced for the varsity football team as he runs by the stands. At the football fall jamboree, all of the football teams were introduced by the coaches to the fans. STUDENT LIFE 29

Endofoldtraditionforma leKiwanians Traditions are hard to change, but the principal, Mr. Miller, had a choice which concerned choosing the Kiwanian of the month. For years, there has been a tradition of male Kiwanians only. When Mr. Miller chose the nine Kiwanians, he chose three girls to represent East, as well as six guys. He felt that there was no reason that girls shouldn ' t be allowed to represent their school. If they excelled in some kind of activities, whether academic or extra- curricular, they should be honored for their achievements, with no discrimination. The three girls who were honored were Kari Kramme, Teresa Satter- field, and Chris Leto. All of the Kiwanians attended a luncheon, separately, with Mr. Miller downtown with Des Moines businessmen. Kiwanians chosen by Mr. Miller are Kari Kramme, Tony Borich, Jody Forest Steve Fuller Chris Leto, Jeff Borg, Teresa Satterfield, and Anthony Turner. 28 STUDENT LIFE
