i?fs?f1L y Weekends, night air cause fanatic actions, antics by East students Something about weekends and the night air seems to stimulate East High students into doing wild and crazy things. Friday, after school, there was a burst of energy from every student exiting the building to the weekend that was ahead. In the parking lot, one could have heard plans being made for that night or the next night, students honking horns with joy and students yelling loudly in cele- bration of being free of school and homework for two days. Friday nights, for most of the student body, usually consisted of attending football games in the fall and basketball games in the winter. Afterwards, many students either went to a fast food place, such as McDonald's or Taco John's or went to hang out with the crowd, con- sisting mainly of underclassmen, at Hill- top, while still others chose to sit down and enjoy a pizza at Pizza Hut. Saturdays were a different story. Most students enjoyed their opportunity to sleep in, while others got up bright and early to go to work. Senior Kellie Burns commented, I had to get up at 4 a.m. every Saturday morning in order to be at work at 5:30 a.m. As Saturday evening approached, the crazy antics began. If students weren't out on dates, they were either getting crazy at a party or causing havoc by urban surfing down quiet residential streets. Four guys in particular were the cause of the new sport of urban surf- ing in Des Moines. After seeing the movie, Teen Wolff, starring Michael J. Fox, the previous night, which depicted the sport of urban surfing, seniors Tyler Roorda and Matt Fisher and juniors Dereck Lewis and Brad Hiatt decided to try it out. They were successful, but bal- ance was a key! Sundays, as everyone knows, were left for relaxation and the rush to finish the untouched homework assigned on Friday. 1 I8 NIGHT LIFE

East High Drama Department, Silent Vibes make 6Sweeney Todd' successful On Dec. 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m., Ms. Ruth Ann Gaines and her Silent Vibrations class presented the fall play Sweeney Todd in the auditorium. The East High Graphics Department made tickets, posters and programs to help promote the event. All proceeds went to the East High Drama Department. Sweeney Todd takes place in San Francisco in the l890's. Sweeney was played by senior Chet Sewell. The story is about an evil barber named Sweeney Todd who kills people for their money. Later the people who fall victim to Sweeney come back to haunt him. At the end of the play, Todd finds out that what goes around comes around and is jailed for the murders he committed. Silent Vibrations met every day in room 15. There were 27 members. Class members use make-up, have to find their own costumes and use their own transpor- tation. The class teaches teamwork and concern for others. Everyone who participated worked very hard to make this year's fall play 6'Sweeney Toddl' the success it was. Emmett Butts, a senior who played the character Barnacle, said, Ms. Gaines is a person who starts something and doesn't stop until it is finished. To be able to direct 27 people in a school play as she did takes a lot of time and concentration?
