What a Feeling was the theme for the 1983 Homecoming Dance. The dance was sponsored by the Student Government, and was con- sidered a great success. The entire week in fact, was successful. With ' 50 ' s and ' 60 ' s days on Mon- day, many wo re costumes of poodle skirts and bobbie socks from the ' 50 ' s and rolled up straight legs and love beads for the ' 60 ' s. On Tuesday the theme was Hat and T-shirt Day. The students wore outlandish outfits with sayings like Sweet things Remind me of You printed on them. The hats were something else and the glasses —UGH! On Wednesday the theme was Dress-up Day. The students went all out and portrayed their loyalty to East High. On Thursday the theme was Almost Anything Goes. Students wore jogging suits, pajamas, cut- offs and T-shirts; some even wore costumes. On Friday, the last day of Home- coming Week, the student body wore red and black to symoblize the spirit of East High and their pride in their school. The Homecoming Assembly was held on Friday, and proved to be a big hit! The Steppers, Color Guard, Cheerleaders and Majorette per- formed and did an outstanding job. The Silent Vibrations performed a play entitled, Pride Piper, to pro- mote pride at East, and WOW! Did they do a marvelous job! At the football game Friday night, the East fans were wild, with hair painted red and black, and clothes the same colors. They were ready to cheer the Scarlets on to victory against Lincoln. The Scarlets won the game, defeating the Railsplitters 21-14. Thanks to the Student Govern- ment, varsity football team. Assem- bly Committee, student body and all others who made it possible, this year ' s Homecomong Week Assem- bly, Game and Dance were the best ever!

Socializing stirs up riight Life ' AWESOME! That is the main word that sums up Night Life at East High School. Night-time was the time the student body let out its craziness this year. Weekends seemed to be the major time for night life because students didn ' t have to get up early the next day. Weekends are a major part of high school life and this year they were as essential as ever. Weekends were a time when students could unwind and let go of all the tensions built up during the week. It was also a time to socialize and relax with friends. Some also found this a time to be with family and relatives. So many happenings went on throughout the year that there seemed never a dull moment. In the fall, football games took up many of the Friday nights, with food and parties afterward. On Saturdays dating, movies, scooping the loop and more parties took up most of the students ' time. During the winter months, boys ' and girls ' basketball games took over for football. Cruising around in cars was also a popular thing for those who had cars. In the spring, there were no Friday night games, so students had to think of things to do on two nights instead of one. Money played a major part in the students ' night life. With high prices, money didn ' t go as far and gas tanks became dry. Because of this, some students had to spend some nights at home watching TV or talking to friends on the phone. Some kids spent the evenings at their boy friends ' or girl friends ' houses. Whatever the students did, it was evident that they must have been having fun because as that clock hit 2:40 p.m. on Friday afternoon, you could see smiles on T students ' faces and you could feel the excitement in the air. Some of the students ' comments: Shannon Young, sophomore: Go out and have a good time. Cindy Niffenegger, senior: Go out with boyfriend, go to show, and go out to eat. Tom Harger, senior: Go to work and then scoop the loop. Mindl Palmer, junior: Sit at my boyfriends ' house if he doesn ' t have any money; otherwise, go out with him. Debbie Young, senior: Go out and party with my friends and try to pick up guys. Kenny Lyie, senior: I either go out with my lady or party with my friends. Brian James, junior: Go out with friends, eat, see a movie, scoop the loop and try to pick up women. Shelley Betts, freshmen: Spend time with family and friends. Without finding a date, senior JoeCummings must spend another Friday night at home, watching TV and pigging out
