Convo's Are One of Eastside students witnessed two science convos; one con- cerning extreme temperatures in science and the other dealing with atomic energy and its use. 5 C I E N C E I N O u R C E N E R A T I O N A program dealing with drama was performed before the student body. Entitled ''Drama in its Finest the convo had three segments: the Greek theater, the Shakespearian era, and modern-day drama. )8 Eastside's Many Attractions Because of their popularity with the students of Eastside, the Caldwells returned for another performance. Rod Knox, stu- dent council president and master of ceremonies of all convos, welcomed the musicians. A group from Calvary Temple performed before the student body. The people related experiences with drugs and witchcraft and answered many questions that plague teenagers. The group's intent was to pro- mote belief in God, and the performance was its first before a school.

It is de- signed to answer many questions about the profession. Exploratory Teaching also gives a student opportunity to decide whether he or she wishes to pursue a teaching career. 20 Michael Eugene AbeJI Keith Lynn Anderson Sandra Kay Anderson Janet Sue Ankney Dalene Sue Armstrong Jane Ann Arrants David Alan Baird Deborah Joan Beck Aaron Michael Bell Teresa Ann Bellamy Susan Jane Benninghoff Randy Lee Bercaw Our Final Year... 22 at E.H.S.

November saw the Juniors again in concessions and taking an active part in all school activities. In January, the Junior Class began planning for their Prom with the appointment of the Central Prom Committee and the various com- mittee members. This class had the highest budget in school history to work with and produced one of the finest proms ever. As the year came to an end it was plain that the class of 71 had come to leadership. 40 Sophomores Sharon Charles Toni Cathy Larry Steve Kathy David Abell Albertson Alwood Anderson Andrews Baird Baker Baughman Ronald Jewell Terry Robert Sherry Deann Bill Debbie Beard Bellamy Betz Bigger Bishop Bonecutter Boylan Brown Linda Sandra Fred Elmar Bushe Butler Cannon Carnahan Junior Class Officers: SEATED; Richard Musser, Treas.; Sandy Kelham, Sec.; STANDING; John Stoltz, V.

Their rings came late in the fall and they were the first class to choose school rings instead of the traditional class rings. Their blue and baby blue jackets came in late winter and added the final touch to the class.

The freshman class worked on several projects this year and held a class party in No- vember; complete with games, refreshments, and music. Basketball season was again a chance for the freshman to prove their presence felt, as they decorated the halls with spirit signs. They concluded the season with a big Sectional sign. Another party was held in the spring and it proved to be a suc- cess. The freshman's year ended as they looked forward to becoming pros on the high school scene. Chris Keller, Treas; Dora Fetters, V.

The Eastside High School Band, under the leadership of Mr. Richard Foster, was very active this year. They received a first in marching at the Auburn fair, which made the last six weeks of summer marching practice pay off. They also fur- nished half-time shows at the home football games. The band had their annual Christmas Concert and was well represented at State Contest in Indianapolis in February. They also made a fine showing at contest in mid-April in Knox, Indiana.

Blazettes, under the su- pervision of Mr. Foster and with the help of Debbie Warstler, started out the year by helping the band place first at the Auburn Fair. Other activities in- cluded half-time perform- ances at football and bas- ketball games. The Blazettes worked very hard this year at bake sales, dances, rummage sales and paper drives to earn money for their new marching uni- forms and pom poms. They were rewarded, by receiving the spirit stick, for their hard work in promoting school spirit through decorating the halls and wear- ing green.

This group of girls has a profound in- terest in sports of all types, and enjoys the fine art of fair competition. Eastside intramural competition involved the four major sports—softball, basketball, vol- leyball, and field and track. More individual activities were added to the sports curriculum this year in order to reach the possible capa- bilities and interests of all the girls. Among these new individualized sports were fencing, gymnastics, bowling, badminton, ring toss, archery, and ping pong. Several of the Eastside GAA members will be eligible for the famed National Physical Fitness Award, an award that is somewhat difficult to come by and is quite an honor to receive. The Girls' Athletic Association of Eastside has a right to be proud of its members and their achievements, as does anyone at Eastside who is interested in sports.

The Eastside Letterman's Club is an ex- clusive organization composed entirely of high school boys who have earned at least one letter through participation in any of the varsity sports. The purpose of this selective group is to promote athletics, sportsmanship, spirit, and enthusiasm within the school and throughout the community. The members strive to set favorable examples of thought and con- duct for the students of Eastside. The club has indulged in several money-raising proj- ects to benefit and expand the EHS athletic fund. The boys exhibit an endless display of school spirit and loyalty at the games and other athletic contests through their attendance and cooperation with the Booster Block in chants and yells. Eastside is exceptionally proud of the Lettermen and the fine work that they have done, for boys such as these are a valuable asset to any school or organization.

The club purchased badges and mittens for all members, and the seniors had designed cords which have been wanted for many years. Many successful activities were carried on throughout the year. Among these were the cake sale, dances, participation in the Home- coming, and a booth at the Spring Carnival. The Booster Block could be seen at all home basketball games, football games, tour- neys, and most away games. The year was a very worthwhile one for all. 66 Go-Go-Go (Please!!)

Many activities grew from this motto including pride posters, which were displayed in the Eastside halls; keeping art exhibits up in the building; winning first prize in the homecoming talent show; having a Spring Festival booth; all these utilized the various tal- ents of the art club members. Honor pins are awarded to those members devoting the most time (on a point basis) to our theme. The person with the highest number of points is awarded a trophy.

Each year the FFA has a pest hunt and the teams were usually divided up by classes. Since it was time for change, this year the teams were divided up into a north team and a south team with Road 8 being the dividing line. The south won and the north treated them to a chili supper. The next major activity was preparing for the District III Contest, which was held at Woodlan High School. Each year there is a FFA Foundation Drive. Money collected from this drive is sent to the State Foundation to cover expenses of FFA awards and projects. This year the State Foun- dation took on the project of building a new Leadership Training Center in Central Indiana and our Chapter cut and sold firewood to assist with this project. Other activities include the judging contests and Father and Son Ban- quet.

The Future Teachers of America was quite an active organization this year. For Homecoming several members pre- sented a talent show skit and the FTA candi- date was chosen queen. Veterans Day found the Future Teachers giving a program for the student body. It was regarded as one of the better presentations of the year. The Christmas party included a visit from Santa, a gift exchange, and a delicious ban- quet. A hilarious skit was also given by a few of the more creative members. As a winter project the club sponsored the area Penny Pitch, collecting $125 in five days.

The main purpose of the club is to raise approximately $450 to send two students to the Colegio Americano de Torreon for six weeks of summer study. Christmas was a special time for the Spanish Club by cele- brating the season in a typical Mexican way with the French Club for a joint fiesta. It was a highly productive and exciting year for Los Conquistadores, not only in the accumulation of knowledge but in learning to cooperate and working together toward a mutual goal.

The French Club, consisting of 30 members, tries to make France and French culture more meaningful to the students, which the classroom study cannot always accomplish. This year the French Club pursued several activities. The first was a Christmas Party at the I M Building with the Spanish Club. This proved to be an exciting and interesting experience for all. The highlight of the year was a complete French meal served at Cafe Johnell in Fort Wayne. Escargot (snails) were served as appetizers, followed by onion soup, salad, and the main course of a petit filet with artichoke and vegetables. For dessert a delicious French pastry con- cluded a very new adventure in French foods. The election of new officers completed another year of fun and enjoyment in the French Club for all members.

THIRD ROW: Kathy Houser, Pat Hoffer, Sharon Webb, The annual staff did not once slacken its hectic pace in preparing the 1970 Easterner. Ingenuity and creativity were important factors to photographers, layout workers, and writers, and all tried to make the 1970 annual a spe- cial publication for every Eastside student. More pictures that are relative to the people of East- side were included this year, along with the popular candid shots and informal pictures. Layout was organ- ized in new and unique ways to enhance the attractive- ness of the publication. Write-ups explaining more about organizations and activities were included in the 1970 Easterner in hopes that memories will remain clearer and for a longer period of time. A good deal of time and effort has been put into the Easterner, and it is hoped that everyone finds his copy an enjoyable representation of the 1969-70 school year.

(Industrial Cooperative Training) program at Eastside High School was started in 1968. This year it was opened to serve both boys and girls. The I.C.T.-program provides the opportunity for the student to work in a vocation and see if this is a job they will want to work in the rest of their lives. The V.I.C.A. Club is the club associated with I.C.T. Our club has been active this year. We have worked with the Butler Rotary Club in the Books for India Drive. We sponsored the First Annual Spring Fling Semi-Formal dance on April 4 and had a banquet on April 30 for our employers.

The purposes of this distinguished group of individuals is to represent the student body and present new ideas to the administra- tion in order to complement the efficient functioning of EHS. Included in the many valuable activities of the council is the sponsoring of noon-time recrea- tion. Music is played and games of volleyball, basketball, and ping-pong are organized. The student council sponsors the majority of the convocations presented throughout the year. Among the extra-curricular activities initiated by the student council were Homecoming, Spring Festival, and Pride in Eastside Week. The student council is a necessary organization in our school system and it is fortunate that Eastside possesses this conscientious group to help organize and govern its many activities.

All of the boys put forth their hard- est efforts in an attempt to elevate the team's standings; however, the lack of runners was a difficult obstacle to pass. Nonetheless, it was a rebuilding year for cross country, and many hard practices for the underclassmen should pay off in the seasons to come. Cross country is not one of the glam- our sports and the participants do not receive much recognition; so it must be said that these boys did a fine job in all of the meets in which they competed.

Her tal- ent was a baton exhi- bition. She is Eastside's feature twirler, a twirl- ing instructor, and USTA judge of baton twirling. This active young lady plays a flute in the band, is choreog- rapher for the Blazettes, and is the captain of the varsity cheerlead- ing squad. Outside of school Debbie is a member of the Coburn Corners Church of Christ, and enjoys several water sports. Her talent and per- sonality won her the position of second runner-up in county competition. The DeKalb County Free Fall Fair is an annual event that is looked forward to by every East- side student. Fair week was filled with trips to the animal barns, rides on the midway, riding in the many parades; and, of course, all of the rare delicacies that the fair has to offer. 105 Miss Kay Hollinger, a junior at Eastside, represented the school at the DeKalb County Fair. Her talent exhibition was a medley of Softly as I Leave You and Walk Away . Kay is quite active in school activities; as she is the vice-president of French club, vice-president of GAA, treasurer of FTA, member of NHS, choir, and Blazettes. Her out-of-school activities include her work at Dal's Newstand, pianist and organist for the United Methodist Church and treasurer of the youth group of her church. Homecoming 69-70 above: Excited Blazer fans, side: Seniors with float contest. A TIME FOR ALL SEASONS . . . Homecoming '69 was a very special weekend for many Eastsiders. The festivities began with a rousing pep rally in the gym on October 10. The Junior class took a roaring victory in the yelling competition and the seven queen candidates were introduced. In the evening the an- nual talent show was presented and various clubs and individuals had the opportunity to exhibit their unique abilities. The show also included the crown- ing of Sandy Eck as Little Miss Homecoming and the queen candidates were introduced to the huge crowd attending the program. A parade including class floats, candidate cars and the Eastside marching band contributed to the excitement of Saturday. The Eastside-Hamilton game immediately followed, and fans were delighted as they witnessed the Blazers de- feat the Marines, 14—0. A memorable coronation conducted at half-time saw Debbie McDowell, rep- resentative of the Future Teachers, crowned Home- coming Queen and it was announced that the seniors had captured first place in the float compe- tition. The two days of fun and enjoyment closed with a victory dance featuring the Gremlins. Eastside will long resound with the laughter, thrills, and hap- piness that made up Homecoming '69.

Most of the time he is found ranting and raving about stocks and bonds or his frequent aches and pains. He refuses to allow his daugh- ter Mary to become engaged to the son of a pauper —Joe Lanconi. Joe's papa comes over to talk for him and there's bedlam, a fight is staged and Mr. Morlock is blamed for the death of Luigi. Luigi's ghost returns to haunt Mr. Morlock until he decides to give his permission for the wedding. Mr. Morlock begins to act peculiar and all around him question his sanity. Finally, Mildred the maid awakes him from his dream and the newly reformed Morlock gives his consent to the wedding and peace reigns at the Morlocks. CAST Mr. Morlock Guy Boylan Mrs. Morlock . . ..

The purpose of the 1970 Student Government, commonly known as Boys' and Girls' State, was to promote an understanding of how the United States Government works. The Boys' State was held at Indiana State University at Terre Haute, and Girls' State was at Indiana University at Bloomington. The participants were permitted to campaign and run for office. The two fictitious parties were the Nationalists and Federalists, similar to the Republicans and Democrats. Various officers were elected, the most important being the Governor and one Lieutenant Governor. The students were enter- tained by many interesting speakers, including Governor Whitcomb and a member of the FBI. The week of participating in student government began many long-lasting friendships and helped create a greater respect and understanding of state and federal government. Mexico Visit Late in June, 1969, Carol Lambert and Gerald Murphy left for Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico, for six weeks of study at the Colegio Americano de Torreon. They lived with middle-class Mexican families, and thus had the opportunity to learn Spanish first hand. Their days were filled with swimming, shopping and interesting field trips, and the nights held dancing, parties, and getting together with friends, both Mexi- can and American. A weekend trip to Mexico City was one of the highlights of the summer. There Carol and Gerald saw various government buildings, cathedrals, museums, markets, the pyramids, the University of Mexico, the Olympic Stadium, and a bullfight. The trip was financed through the efforts of the Spanish Club and donations from interested members of the community and is one of the most worthwhile projects sponsored by an Eastside Club. in Mr. Cole and Mr. Williams pose as the school clowns. Pride at EHS Pride in Eastside, although not as profitable as other years, had a few participants. The Art Club sign won 1st place. The Band cleaned and decorated and was rewarded 1st in that division. The F.T.A. was honored by receiving a first in all around Pride in Eastside. Spring Festival The Art Club has a fine participation in the Festival. Renee, now let's play fair—it's still your turn. 4 r On May 15 and 16 the Band and Choir under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Foster presented their annual Spring Panorama of Mu- sic. The Band's program ranged from a Days of Glory to a trumpet trio of Bright Eyes . The Swing Choir sang modern songs such as Rain Drops Keep Falling On my Head and Big Spender . Also on Friday, the Band and Choir cut a stereo album of the Panorama. 113 Midnight Fantasy a Moment to Remember All follow as the procession leads to the dining room for a hearty meal.

The 1970 Prom, held at Potawatomi Inn, Pokagon State Park, was one of beauty and sophisti- cation. A delicious banquet launched the evening and was followed by the Prom itself. The ballroom was uniquely decorated with colorful flowers, im- mense bumble bees and lady bugs, and a large wishing well. Dancing was provided by the Blue Impressions, and two of the evening's highlights were the crowning of the king and queen and the entertainment provided by Dr. Irving Ross, a well known psychologist and hypnotist. A new touch was added to this year's Prom—photographs of couples and singles were taken by KFS Studios of Garrett. The Juniors showed an amazing quantity of good taste in organizing and carrying out the Prom, and deserved all of the praise that they received. April 25,1970, will long be remembered as the date of one of the most wonderful Proms that Eastside has ever had. The location of this year's After-Prom was Bledsoe's Beach, a popular sum- mer beach area and resort. A caravan of students and guests was led to the site by competent policemen and was greeted by members of the Butler Lions, Jaycees, and Rotary; the ST. Joe Lions; and the Spencerville Community Club. Entertainment consisted of a dance featuring the Blue Agony, a popular rock group; light snacks of pop and potato chips; door prize drawings; and a casino of games. After several hours of dartcing and gambling with play money, the group disbanded and returned to the Butler Elementary Cafe- torium for the Prom Breakfast served by the Butler Enerjettes. At this time, students put the money they had won to use in an auction for the grand prizes of the evening. Tired students then went their separate ways, taking with them the memories of the 1970 Junior-Senior Prom and After-Prom. 117 Banquets Are Highlights Rod seems to be enjoying himself at the N.H.S.-F.T.A. Banquet along with the speaker Mr. Halbert of the Purdue Regional Campus, Fort Wayne. The F.T.A. invaded Indianapolis in April for the State F.T.A. Convention. Even the sponsors and principal seemed to enjoy the F.T.A.-N.H.S. Banquet. The F.T.A.-N.H.S. Banquet at Brook's Restaurant in Garrett was the high- light of both clubs for the year. 118 of a Years Progress Mrs. Arribalzaga enjoyed her native foods. Debbie, Nancy, Karen and Carol are trying their hand at Spanish pastry. The Spanish Club Banquet held at Taco Inn in Fort Wayne enabled the students to try all sorts of Spanish foods. Throughout the year the different or- ganizations of E.H.S. held banquets and special trips to recognize the accomplish- ments of the group. The first banquet of the year, held in December, enabled the Spanish Club members to try Mexican and Spanish foods. In April the F.T.A. was well represented in Indianapolis for the State Convention by nine delegates held at the Ben Davis High School. May, the month of banquets, saw the joint F.T.A.-N.H.S., F.H.A., F.F.A., and All Sports Banquets. Banquets really were the highlights of the organizations of E.H.S. 119 Senior Picnic After the light rain everyone ran out to play football, base ball, or take walks. The senior paper came as a relaxation after a fun hectic day of rough games. 120 Dalene, now stop that!'' Kraut don't you know it's raining out there?

Hey, I thought that you said that this was cider! I just can't stand to watch people eat! October 20 was the date of the first senior class party. Activities began at the gym, where teams were organized for an hour long scavenger hunt. Afterward, the party shifted to Lambert's barn, where hungry seniors indulged in food and danc- ing. The evening was highlighted by a huge bon- fire, around which everyone gathered to roast hot dogs. Various games and vigorous activities concluded the party. 122 Compliments of Max D. Wills, M.D. and Swimming... Happiness Well, what do ya know, we did it! The beautiful Club Olympia was the scene of the second senior class party, held March 9. Seniors spent two hours splashing, diving, and dunking in the gigantic pool, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Water games were played, and the pool's many facilities were put to use by the energetic seniors. The two bus loads of hungry swimmers visited two of the more popular eating places of Fort Wayne after the tiring water activities. This was certainly one of the most successful parties ever given by a class from Eastside, one which the seniors who attended it will never forget.

She received the best actress award. Anne Wolkenhauer is a sixteen year old exchange student from Germany. She was born in Celle, a little town in northern West Germany on May 27, 1953. Anne is commonly known to all her American friends as “kraut (old left over from World War II). She refuses to reveal her most embarrassing moment for it still embarrasses her. One of the happiest times in her life was when she was accepted as an exchange student. GIRL! The question about her most prized pos- session was answered, “My rings, I just love rings with all kinds of dingle dangles attached to them. One fact that contributes a lot to Anne's delight of being a senior is that she is actually only of junior age and would be a junior in Germany right now. One reason why she is looking forward to graduation is that it marks the end of the school year and the beginning of summer which I've been looking forward to all year. Anne stated that she probably did not regard her graduation from Eastside as important a period in her life as most of her fellow sen- iors for she has to go back to two more years of high school, which she thinks deserves some pity. Are You Ready? Mr. Wagner leads his fearless band of future scientists through the Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn, Michigan. The lively and spirited group enjoyed a day of fun filled education. Steve Cole and Steve Keuneke seem to be enjoying the ex- ploration of old houses. Don't sit down yet Kevin—there is still a lot more to go through! Look at Dave and Dale, they are as bright and eager as ever. The Clock, with its statues, proved to be one of the more interesting sites in the Village. Dis and Dat 130 HART'S NURSERY Rural Route 1 St. Joe, Indiana RALPH SECHLER AND SON, INC.

BUTLER. INDIANA 139 Dear Eastside, Before you come to the last page of the Easterner, I would like to say a few words. Throughout the last weeks of school I heard I hate to leave, It won't be the same without them, and EHS is going to seem empty. Eastside changes every year because each class changes. Eastside isn't just the building, it's the people. The 1970 annual was created for the purpose of restoring old memories and letting you re- live them through pictures. The production of this annual could not have come about without the help of my competent staff, and to them I want to say thanks . I want to personally thank several other people who were heads of my staff—Lorna, Lyndia, Randy and Carol. Words cannot express my ap- preciation to Mrs. Hood and Mr. Williams, who guided us through what seemed to be a touch and go year. I want to also thank the advertisers, because they made this annual possible. Last, but certainly not least, you the subscribers. Thank you for purchasing the annual which was created for you, and I hope you like it. Yours sincerely, Editor I
