Nineteen-eighty four leaps into American newspaper headlines Thumbs up to the biggest electoral sweep in his- tory: President Reagan after the election. The leap year, especially remem- bered because of George Orwell ' s book, 1984, and the re-election of Ronald Reagan as president, brought major headlines in American news- papers. New faces and old hit the press. Miss Liberty got a facelift, Miss America lost face and the young, con- fident smile of Mary Lou Retton crossed millions of American faces. The Summer Olympics, although boycotted by the Soviet Union and other communist countries, proved very successful in Los Angeles. A record-breaking 83 gold, 61 silver and 30 bronze medals were won by the USA. Reagan, too, had a record-breaking year, winning his re-election with the biggest electoral vote in the nation ' s history. But his opponent, Walter Mondale, also made history when he chose a woman, Geraldine Ferraro, as his running mate. 1984 was truly a record-breaking, history-making, world-shaking year to remember. As the headlines fade into yesteryear, we will not forget the faces that put them there.

The many extra hours put in before, during and after school added dimen- sion to student Rfe at East. Each ampli- fied the exciting and amazing rotes which built our story. Whether it was students learning leadership, partici- pating in Student Government, responding at athletic events, present- ing dramas, singing songs, shooting pictures or debating a social issue, the nigh level of involvement shown by the students was an important factor in making the special effects at East memorable. This specific chapter for organiza- tions could go on and on, because we had so many effects to be proud of. Being a part of any organization brought a bright, meaningful reward to all who were involved. So just as a special effect highlight a movie or play, East High organizations highlighted our school.
