 Kathleen Kouctelka waits for h«r cue to 90 on HERAEA One of the oldest traditions at East Meadow High School is Heraea, the annual competition among the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore girls. It involves some sports, some dancing, and some spectacle. Heraea dates back to the days when there were few areas of athletic competition open to girls. The new emphasis on girls' sports has made its impact on Heraea. Because of conflicts with their sports schedules, the Sophomore class did not choose to enter a team in Heraea '83; and so this year's Heraea became a Junior-Senior contest. The teams were judged In the following areas: attendance, wall decorations, entrance, square dance, volleyball, relay races, team cooperation, behavior, sportsmanship, and aerobics. The judges were past Heraea captains and alumni. The class of '84 chose fantasyland as its theme, and the class of '83 chose the roaring twenties. Each class had original costumes, music, and dances. Although both teams fought hard, honors of Heraea '83 went to the class of '84, who won the hearts of judges and audience alike.

 Matthew Buzieo does his part to get the crowd psyched School spirit has always been very strong at East Meadow High School, and it has been bolstered by traditions, some old and some very new. The annual Pep Rally is an old institution. Every year the members of the athletic teams parade out into the middle of the gym, are in- troduced by name, and are cheered by the loyal fans. Besides the athletes, the fans also get a chance to cheer for the Rockettes and Cheerleaders who do so much to support the teams’ morale. Himeraea is a recent addition to the annual traditions of East Meadow. Of course, it is something of a “put-on.” The name has ob- viously been swiped from the venerable Heraea, the girls’ annual competition. In the first Himeraea, the class of '83 defeated the class of ’84 by a narrow margin. Traditions like the Pep Rally and Himeraea have kept alive school spirit and kept us AT OUR BEST. The girls are enthusiastic spectators at Himeraea r Pep Rally Himeraea 23
