1981 Easterner Eastside Jr.-Sr. High School Butler, IN 46721 Volume XVIII Just a few Minor Revisions. ... At 8 a.m., September 2, 1980, the students that would attend school at 603 E. Green Street in Butler, Indiana, were either on their way, or soon would be, to that location. The first day of school is always sad and exciting at the same time. Will this year be any different from other years? Shouldn't be, most thought, just a few minor revisions ... Seniors Brian and Rod Moore were part of the 105 member graduating class. The sen- ior year is the most exciting of one's high school career.

St Dident Life The rain came down Several days after school began, some heavy rains moved into the area. Students were surprised, when entering the new and uncompleted connections to find several inches of water on the floor. The minor revisions were starting to make themselves known. to Gn€€n Field Day. This annual event was held in- doors because of rain. The tug-of-war competition was won by the juniors. Shown are the Seniors losing to the juniors. Seniors are sometimes like clowns. Yvonne Miller is dressed up like most other Seniors on Halloween. 6 Student Life Students had to avoid workmen and their equipment throughout the construction. There was no heat in the construction zones throughout the winter. This view is looking west toward the old vocational building. A new commons area was built between the cafeteria and old academic building. This view is looking toward the cafeteria. Lockers, tables, and games were later in- stalled. Making connections... Do you remember the chaos? Who could ever forget it. Scaffolding, construction workers, hammers pounding, the smell of paint, and signs saying STAY OUT were common sights and sounds as school resumed in September. Studentsand faculty alike quick- ly adjusted to the occasional in- convenience. Taking the long route to class was sometimes nec- essary because the corridors were temporarily blocked, but a last dash to class in the rain made most of us anxious to see the day when the five buildings would be under one roof. Through our cooperation — our 'tying together'—we have new surroundings we can be proud of, assistant principal Rex Bolinger said. Construction began in June, 1980, at the total cost of $1,250,000. Construction manager for the job was Miller-Davis Com- pany of Kalamazoo, Michigan. At a first glance the school may not look much different, but if you look closely you will see many proud of changes both inside and outside. Construction and remodeling have provided new halls connect- ing the five original buildings. An- other feature of the project is a new commons area, which offers students a place to relax during free time and at lunch. The new gym lobby gives Blazer boosters a place to chat and relax during halftime of basketball games or other events. New dis- play cases have been installed in the lobby, so it will serve as a showcase for our victories. Other benefits of construction and re- new machinery and tools, new art rooms with a separate ceramics area, new special education rooms, remodeled guidance and administration offices and lots of bright colors and fresh, new paint. The library was also changed. It in- creased in size to half again its original size, and provided addi- tional shelf space for books and periodicals.

This view is looking east between the old vocational and aca- demic buildings. This is a view looking north from the old academic building. The north parking lot was closed until the last two months of school because of the construction. Stu- dents used the east lot instead. Stay Out signs like this were common during the months of construction. Stu- dents were forced to walk around build- ings in all kinds of weather. This view is looking into the new commons area. Construction 9 Homecoming: “moved up” to September Poor test results and neglect- ed homework marked homecoming week for many stu- dents, who worked many hours creating floats that represented their class on homecoming night. The week of September 15-19 was characterized by spirit week activities that included dress-up day on Tuesday, backwards day on Wednesday, twin day on Thurs- day, and green and white day and hat day on Friday. The Battle of the Classes gener- ated its share of enthusiasm also. After competing in several zany contests like banana eating, tug-o- war, and bubble gum stuffing, the winning Seniors clinched their victory by winning the class cheer contest. Moving Up in the 80's was the theme of the annual parade. The Senior class float, featuring a jum- bo six pack of 7-up, won first place in the float competition. Susan Zeisloft was crowned Homecoming Queen in a halftime ceremony at Friday night's annual game. Susan was escorted by sen- ior, Brian Carpenter. Other senior candidates were Jenny Haines, Penny Tule, and Mari Zenk. The rest of Susan's court consisted of junior Toni Wilges, sophomore Vicki Imhoff, and freshman Angie Gollmer. 1980 Homecoming Court — Angie Gollmer, Louie Ortiz, Vicki Imhoff, Daren Blair, Toni Wilges, Steve Newcomer, Susan Zeisloft, Brian Carpenter, Jenny Haines, Brad Baker, Mari Zenk, Keith Sanders, Pen- ny Tule, and Tom Morr. Putting the finishing touches on the Fresh- man class float moments before the begin- ning of the annual parade are Mark Hudson and Karen Mullett. The float placed fourth in the competition. 10 Homecoming Senior Tony Burnett takes a ride on his class float before the big game. The Senior class float won first prize at the annual pa- rade, and the Seniors also won first place in the Battle of the Classes . Heading up the Homecoming parade through the streets of Butler is Diane Wade Mercer, majorette, and Peggy Buell, twirl- er. We have one of the few bands in the area to have a twirler. Goin' and cornin' we're all a hummin' was the theme of the band float in Friday evening's Homecoming parade. Seniors Brant Moore and Diane Wade Mercer, who is drum majorette, help assemble their float. Homecoming 11 “The greatest show” inc?untyb Fall is fair time for students who enjoy strolling down the Midway, trying out a new game in the arcade, showing off their 4-H projects, or competing in other contests like the Miss DeKalb County Fair pageant. After being chosen from several Miss Eastside candidates, junior Tracy McKown, and senior Heather Watson became eligible to compete for the title of Miss DeKalb County Fair the last week in September. Tracy and Heather participated in personal interviews, an evening gown competition, a swimsuit competition, and a talent compe- tition. A special judges award for talent was given to Tracy for her singing rendition of Send in the Clowns . Heather sang and played the piano to How Did It End This Way , a song she composed her- self. Both participants said that the contest was fun and a good exper- ience, but not quite what they ex- pected. Smile! This group of students seem to be enjoying themselves. They were part of a large crowd who watched Tuesday's Swing Choir Contest at the DeKalb County Fair. Tracy McKown receives the Special Judges Award for Talent from 1979 Miss DeKalb County Fair, Diane Stahl. Tracy received the award for singing Send in the Clowns. Its entire attitude is based on winning, and not friendship, Tra- cy said. Heather said that there was a lot of pressure and that the competi- tion placed a lot of excess stress on everybody. Nevertheless, they did an excel- lent job of representing Eastside and just having them in the com- petition meant a lot to their many supporters who watched them in the contest. 12 Fair Moo.

Penny Friedel prepares to belt a Morlock in the fall play, The Time Machine. The play was November 7 and 8 in the cafetor- ium. The Director: backstage critic Editor's Note: We asked Sandy Bohn, drama teacher, what was involved in putting on a success- ful play or musical. Here is her reply: Directing a play or musical is a time consuming, and rewarding process. The first step is to select a play. The director begins reading all types of material and plays, taking into consideration the talent of the students, the number of students, the play that would have the most audience appeal, the cost of the production, how much money is in the budget and other such matters. After the play is selected an or- der is sent out to obtain script books. The royalty fees for a musi- cal will be around $500, while a play might run around $100. Add the cost of script books to this price and the expenses do add up. 14 Plays Before the auditions begin, the director reads the play over and over in order to understand the play, the character types, the light- ing, sound, set, the actions of the characters, humor, and costumes. Finally, the director blocks the whole play on paper. This requires a lot of time and a lot of creative thinking. The next step is the auditions. Audition sheets are handed out and the director listens to 50 or more people try out. Sometimes it is very difficult to decide who will be best for a part; some people can be trusted, others can't, some people have acting experience, others don't. Sometimes the di- rector just has to put trust in who he picks and sometimes people let him down. After the players are picked, the next step is to rehearse. During re- hearsal, lines and music are memorized, characters are estab- lished, blocking takes place and each scene is acted out over and over. As the performance date gets closer, the director also must organize all of the committees such as: costumes, stage crew, publicity, tickets, set design, set work, refreshments, lights, make- up, set up, and clean up. The excitement the students have, the sparkling eyes, the fast beating hearts, the teamwork, the enthusiasm, the individual growth of the students, being able to trust different people, grandparents watching their grandchildren per- form on stage, the snapping pic- tures, the gleam from the parent's eyes, the students getting flowers and gifts for their opening night, and the audience applauding for the students as they smile, all make directing a play a very rewarding experience.

Plays 15 ‘The First Time’ For The first time since East- side was built 12 years ago, the annual Junior-Senior Prom was held off campus. This year the elegant Auburn-Cord-Duesen- berg Museum in Auburn was the site for the formal evening. The theme—The First Time—a song by Styx, was appropriate be- cause of the move and other changes the class of 1982 had made. Senior Betty Welty and her date stroll arm in arm in front of the Auburn-Cord-Due- senberg Museum, site of the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Approximately 280 students attended the annual event. Smile! Brazilian exchange student Eduarda Du Pereira and her date Nick Gollmer get their photograph taken at the prom! The majority of prom goers had their pic- ture taken. Upon arrival at 7 p.m., the par- ticipants dined buffet-style in the main showroom of the former Au- burn Automobile Company. Later, the Amazing Mendoza performed feats of mental trickery for the crowd of 280. Students, faculty, and guests danced to the music of Middle of the Road, until the King and Queen ceremony. Juniors Jana Armstrong and Mike Casebere were crowned prom queen and king. In the court were, Diane Sipe, Kim Mullett, Sandy Hantz, RoEnna Zerkle, Greg Myers, Steve Upp, Randy Young and Stan Kurtz. 1980 King and Queen Lynn Reinhart and Jenny Haines passed on their crowns to the juniors who reigned over the prom until its end at 1 a.m. 16 Prom The Amazing Mendoza with the help of sophomore Dawn Stine performs an illu- sion for the crowded ACD museum.

Lynn Rein- hart and Tony Burnett had the top grade point averages in the senior class. They both spoke at the graduation ceremonies. Graduation 19 Breaking up school Time out of class is much sought after by hard working students. The nine convocations sponsored by the student council throughout the year provided much, but not enough, of that time. To kickoff the school year, Freedom Jam a group from Campus Life's Mouse Hole, gave a preview performance of their concerts at the county fair. Larry Turner and Milton Tatum, two professional dancers, gave a dem- onstration of disco and other forms of dance. U.S. Olympic hockey gold med- alist Steve Janaszak talked to the students about his experience as part of Winterfest '81 in February. When some students walked out at 3:25 before Janaszak was through, future convos were jeopardized. Dr. Sam Rhine, a geneticist, talked about birth defects and re- lated subjects in a program enti- tled, The most important nine Not so fast. Students leaving before Olym- pic gold medalist Steve janaszak was fin- ished speaking jeopardized future convo- cations. Later convos had no such problems. Crrrrrrrr . . .

As one of the highlights of the open house in April, the Air Force Band from Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio, presented a vari- ety of selections from Glenn Mill- er to Queen. Late in May came the much awaited field day. Shortened, and held in the gym because of the weather, field day was still a suc- cess. The Sophomores took most of the honors including victory over the Seniors in the tug-o-war. 20 Convocations Co for the Cold!

Back row— Lynn Fry, Brian Carpenter, Laurie Culler, Rod Moore, Brian Moore, Kurt Berry, Jeff Edgar, Jeff Keller, Darlene Smith. One big celebration To be a senior is every stu- dent's dream. It seems as if seniors are on the top of the world. The entire senior year was one big celebration. For their last year in school every senior wanted to leave his mark, to go out in style. During Halloween, for example, most seniors dressed up in cos- tumes. Jeff Keller dressed as Yoda, from the movie The Empire Strikes Back. Darlene Smith was a pirate, Jenny Haines a vamp, and Brant Moore a surgeon. Seniors have certain traditions that go on year after year. The senior table in the cafeteria is one of these. It was at that table where many evil go- ings on were planned. Another ritual of seniorhood is the trip to Indianapolis with Mrs. Enjoying a thick milk shake at the senior table is Dusty Alloway. The senior table is a long standing tradition. Pullen. This year seniors gathered and boarded school busses for the long trip to Indy. The State House the Children's Museum, and the 500 mile speedway were high- lights of the tour. However, it is the other moments on the trip that will stick in our minds much longer than what Mrs. Pullen said to remember about the functions of state government. It only lasts a year and it's over. Graduation means the end of a way of life. The party's over for the class of '81. As the class motto says, “We may never pass this way again. Last day. Seniors gathered at Kaiser's Mar- ket on the last day of school for their tradi- tional caravan around the streets of Butler. There were no major accidents.

Campus Life is an organization not related to the school but known about by most students. It emphasizes a balanced philos- ophy of life for teenagers, which simply states that a person needs to keep growing in the mental, so- cial, physical, and spiritual areas of life. Campus Life emphasizes the revelance of Christianity to the rest of the living. Meeting every Monday night in the cafeteria, Campus Life meet- ings were known for being highly informal. It was not unusual for a student to have toothpaste in his hair after a meeting. Besides the weekly meetings. Campus Life, a part of Youth for Christ, held many other trips and activities throughout the year. In September, Campus Life spon- sored the Mousehole. Other ac- tivities included The World's Largest Hayride, Skit Lift '81, Miss Campus Life, Florida Breakaway, the Mini 500 bike race, and Be-on- a-skit Waterski Marathon. On a more serious note, led by teacher's Chris Raber and Tom Ba- zow, students were able to discuss such topics as loneliness, marriage, and dating. i Campus Life leader Chris Raber is an in- dustrial arts teacher. Campus Life met ev- ery Monday night in the cafeteria. The oth- er leader was elementary school teacher Tom Bazow. That's toothpaste on Brian Carpenter's forehead.

Putting them away. Marty Daniels tries to eat as many sloppy Joe sandwiches as possi- ble at the Burger Bash. Campus Life 25 That’s entertainment Students found many ways to entertain themselves during the year. Hand-held computer baseball or football was a big item. Some students could be seen walking the halls deeply engrossed in an electronic game of football. Horror movies were big also. Titles such as Prom Night, The Howl- ing, and Terror Train graced mov- ie marquees of Fort Wayne the- aters. Perhaps the most common form of entertainment was music. Disco was dead and made way for new wave. Good old rock and roll still dominated the pop music scene, however. Some of the hot bands were AC DC, Pat Benatar, Devo, and Pink Floyd. To provide some music in the cafeteria, the student council purchased a juke box and kept it full of popular songs. Who shot J.R.? was an impor- tant question to TV addicts this year. The popular series Dallas, featuring the much despised oil millionaire j.R. Ewing, was one of the biggest. When J.R. was shot, the whole nation sat on the edge of their seats until the new season premier when Kristin was revealed as the culprit. Other top television shows included The Greatest American Hero, Fantasy Island, WKRP in Cincinnati, and The Dukes of Hazzard. Barde. This French Canadian group ap- peared at the Performing Arts Center in Ft. Wayne, on November 10. The French Club made a special trip to see them. 26 Entertainment Junior Robbie Haines helps out a group that visited for a convocation. Convos cov- ered a wide variety of subjects this year. Concerts at the Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum featured top name rock groups like Molly Hatchet. Many students en- joyed such concerts.

Are they some new breed of animals, or maybe some rare diseases. Nope! If you asked a student in drama, he or she would tell you that they are techniques of putting on a play. The drama department puts on a spring musical and a fall play ev- ery year, and for the past two years, a talent show. All of these events are very well attended by students and the public. In drama class the students put on a very short student directed play. Everyone in the class was in- Vicki Imhoff (a tree) and Angie Gollmer (a Frenchman) were initiated into the Thespi- an Club, May 22. This is a riverbank scene from the spring musical Li'l Abner. Shown are Scott Tule, Chris Holt and Tim Rubalcaba as Li'l Abner. This is a scene from the fall play The Time Machine. It was about a scientist who builds a time machine and travels into the future. 30 The Fine Arts volved with the production. Stu- dents work involved making the programs, making the set, costum- ing, make-up, acting, lights, cur- tain man, director, prop person, and stage helpers. They per- formed their play in front of some of the other English classes. The one greatest point drama teacher Sandy Bohn tries to get across to her class is—Do your best! She said that many people feel they can't act. In reality, how- ever, we are all actors every day of our lives. We take on different roles depending on the people surrounding us. For example, we may be a daughter to our parents, then again a lover to our boy- friend. We may be a friend, en- emy, niece, grandson, child, work- er, adult, student, jock, musician, etc. The students learn about speech and acting. They learn how to act in front of an audience, memorize character parts, body language, how to di- rect, how to work and relate with others and a lot more. All these things can be helpful to a student when he or she goes out and looks for a job. Drama Club: Front Row—Chris Holt, Tim Rubalcaba, Dusty Alloway, Dave Krieg, Mike Horwitz, Debbie Schindler.

Thespians make drama fun Outstanding actors and actresses are what make up the Thespian Club. Students earn points by participating in a school play. When 10 points are earned, the student may become an initiate. This year approximately 15 students became ini- tiates. Two initiations then take place—a formal and an informal. The formal ceremony was May 20. The informal initiation was Friday, May 22. Each new member is given an outrageous costume to wear for the entire day. Students have dressed as trees, garbage bags, old women, and mad scien- tists. When the student is asked why he or she is dressed that way, they must respond with an equally outrageous and frequently disgusting an- swer. Sponsor for the club is Miss Sandy Bohn.

Drama 31 The Fine Arts Band strides forward Forward ... ! March ... ! Move ...! Left, right, left, right, Roll off! Wow! Trying to march, keep in step, stay in line and play a piece of marching music all at the same time can be quite confusing and complicated, but when you get it down once, it comes quite easy. The first year marching band members found this out during the marching practices held at school during the summer months Forward March Move! The high school marching band practices on the streets of Butler. They practiced during the summer and throughout the year. Waiting for a command from drum major Diane Wade Mercer is saxophonist Laura Tatro. The marching band's many practice sessions paid off at the Ashley parade where they placed first. 32 The Fine Arts of July, August and on through football season. The practices were usually three nights a week. Band camp was held 5 days, 6 hours a day, a lot of hard work, time, effort and cooperation went into these practices, and it was worth it. The band came in 1st at the Ashley parade, and placed 5th in their division in Auburn, which contained 12 other bands. The band's goal is to place higher at Auburn's upcoming fair next fall. The band's overall goal this year, says Miss Pamela Siebert, the new band director, is to encourage the band to have positive attitudes about themselves and the band as a whole, and to increase their knowledge of music and better their playing abilities.

If you're in band do you have to be in marching band? “Yes, at this point both Jr. High and High School band students need to march because the band is so small, but if a student wants to be in band and does not want to march, he or she can still be in band, Miss Siebert said. The band is hoping to be able to have two separate bands in the future, meaning the student will have his choice between marching or not. The band members also play as a pep band. The pep band plays for basketball games, celebrations, and wherever asked. Senior trombonist Brant Moore gets some work done during some free time in the band room.

Last clue, musical, singing perfor- mances. Got it now? Right, the Chorus. The students in the general mu- sic class this year put on a musical called Wheels. Wheels is a musical production on how the m Robbie Haines, Randy Drake, Amber Watson, and Lori Crow sit in chorus class. A little wider class. Chorus class checks to see if they are opening their mouths wide enough. Three fingers is the preferred width. Senior Heather Watson sings with sopho- more Mitch Snyder at the annual spring concert. The concert featured many differ- ent types of music. 36 The Fine Arts wheel came about during the caveman times and how it has pro- gressed through the years. The class has never done any kind of project like that before, so they decided to try it, and found it turned out to be a big success. The varsity singers have been very active this year, they have sung at places such as the Lion's Clubs, Calvary Chapel, Meado- whaven Nursing Home, Shippey's Steak House, Dekalb Jr. High, the Federal Land Bank Members Meeting and the Christmas con- cert at Eastside. The swing choir competed at the Auburn Fair. One of the choirs most memo- rable events was the success of the play Li'l Abner. It involved sev- eral evening rehearsals, extra work outside of class and a lot of dedica- tion, but after seeing how the play went, one could tell it was worth it. The varsity singers performed this year for the 1981 Senior Graduation. They sang the Alma Mater, and Old Irish Blessing. The art of singing is taught by first year teacher Miss Carol Kucera. Miss Kucera was responsible for writing an Alma Mater for graduation. Mindy Baker and Jackie Moore sing in the musical ''Wheels ' presented by the gener- al music class. It was about the history of the wheel.

A lot has been going on with the art classes this year. They made a big move into two new class- rooms. The teachers, Mr. Koene- Senior Steve Billings works on a painting for art class. Billings was named runner up to Best of Show at the annual art show. Jewelry is a new class this year. Students learned basic techniques of metal design. Shown is junior Cindy Yeiser. 38 The Fine Arts man and Mrs. Ober have found the rooms to be more pleasant to teach in and the students have found the rooms to be more en- joyable to work in because of the increased space and brightness of the environment. In the art classes this year the students worked on many differ- ent projects such as drawing, painting, sculpture and clay. Two new projects this year included air brush and jewelry making. Next year the students will enjoy the leather working class that will be offered. Mr. Richard Koeneman helps Joe Albert- son in ceramics and sculpture while other students work. New art rooms including a new kiln were added this year. Highlighting a successful year for the Art Club was an art show during the school open house on April 9. Organized by senior high students, they raised money to buy prizes through bake sales. The show was open to all students who could compete in these five cate- gories: drawing, painting, crafts, pen and ink, and sculpture. Three prizes were awarded in each cate- gory. Two Best of Show awards were given to Dawn Lang and Steve Bill- ings for the two best exhibits in the show. A field trip to Fort Wayne was taken on May 11. In order to view other artists' work and to get ideas, the students visited the Children's Zoo, the Art Museum, the Linker Gallery, and the Public Library.

In ju- nior high, basic English is required by all. The students learn gram- mar, poetry, literature and many other things. Moving up to 9th grade, a stu- dent may pick out one of 3 re- quired English classes: practical English, English 9, or CP English, which is given to students who think they would like to go on to college. The class is a general re- view of grammar, usage, written composition, and classroom speaking. In 10th grade, there is practical English, English 10, which inte- grates English grammar and litera- ture, written compositions, oral talks and reading assignments. CP English 10 is basically the same as librarians The Practical Arts English is more than grammar and spelling These things go on in Mrs. Bowden's class? Mrs. Ann Bowden's second semester short stories class poses for a group shot. But where is Mrs. Bowden? Student Library aides probably do more than you think. They check out books, maintain the circulation desk, get back issues of magazines for students, and deliver audio-visual equipment. There are usually two aides each period, accord- ing to Mrs. Loretta Mitchell, librarian. Their school work comes first she said, I feel that their school work is very important. The aides do homework before their work as library aides. I rely on them more and more with the larger library, Mrs. Mitchell concluded. English 10, but is more in-depth. Eleventh grade has practical English and English 11, which in- volves the study of American lit- erature, vocabulary, grammar, creative and expository writing, and oral presentation. CP English 11 is designed to advance lan- guage skills through study of se- lections from American Literature, writing of creative expositore themes and a preparation of a short research paper. Twelfth grade students have a numerous selection of classes. Two 1 semester English classes are required (1 semester for each class.) Composition is a required course for college bound stu- dents. Different types of para- graph writing, analytical theme writing, and a major term paper make up the class. English literature is a chronolo- gical study of English literature from the Anglo-Saxon period to modern times. Short stories consist mainly of modern short stories by American, Russian, and English authors. Poetry is a study of all forms of poetry from Epic to modern. Students learn to write various types of poems. Basic grammar review is de- signed to review basic grammar principles including word usage, punctuation, spelling, capitaliza- tion and vocabulary. Research and writing is open to seniors who have successfully completed composition. Students are expected to do research writ- ing in several areas. Novels go into an in-depth study of 8 to 10 novels and their authors. Speech is a class given to grades 10-12. It is a one semester course where students do group and in- dividual speeches. A survey was taken on how the students felt when giving some of their first speeches. Most of the replies were scared, and shakey. When asked how she felt on her first speech, Lisa Fetters replied, I felt really nervous, scared and even paranoid and I was relieved when my speech was finally over. Journalism is a new class offered to grades 9-12. It covers the basics of news writing, interviewing, de- sign, and ethics. Sophomore Kelly Schmidt tries to absorb her English assignment the easy way. Eng- lish is a required class each year of school. Taking notes is junior Michelle Lemos. Stu- dents in college prep English learn to take many notes. English 41 Moles, polynomial functions. The Practical Arts random access files. Sound con- Stirring Calculations fusing? Science and math, each depen- dent upon each other, make up a big part of our education. In junior high both science and math are re- quired courses. Students learn arithmetic and some basic algebra in general math. In science they learn about all of the different areas of science. When a student reaches his freshman year, he can choose from algebra I or General math. There are no freshman science classes. Junior Kim Mullett mixes a solution during a chemistry lab. Safety equipment consist- ing of an apron and goggles are worn. Solve for X. Mrs. Connie Hess instructs her algebra II class on the use of logarithms. The class is part of the college prep cur- riculum. Watching for “syntax errors. Seniors Jeff Keller and Brad Baker prepare the comput- ers for the April 9 open house. It was the first time the public was able to see the new computers. 42 The Practical Arts Algebra I, for college bound stu- dents, is an introduction to alge- bra. It includes the real number system, sets, and equations with one or two variables. General math is a more practical math course that includes taxes, payrolls, interest, and simple alge- bra. The sophomore year is the last one that a science or math is re- quired. Biology or general science are offered as choices. Biology students learn dissect- ing, microscope use, leaf identifi- cation, genetics, and blood typing. The following courses in the sci- ence and math departments are optional in one or all of the final three years. Plane geometry is primarily con- cerned with the study of lines, cir- cles, and polygones on plane sur- faces, and of solids in space. Business arithmetic, for business oriented students, presents every- day business problems. Advanced algebra is a continu- ation of algebra I including qua- dratic equations, and complex numbers. Analytical geometry and trigo- nometry are advanced one semes- ter classes offered only to seniors. Computer math is a new class this year. Students learn how to solve problems on a computer, ba- sic computer language, and write many simple and advanced level programs. Chemistry teaches the behavior and description of atoms. It also includes lab techniques and pro- cedures. Physics explores the happenings in our physical universe and stu- dents study light and other forms of energy. Advanced science courses are offered in biology, chemistry, and physics. Yecch! These three sophomores in biology carefully dissect a frog. Students also dis- sect worms, starfish, and other things throughout the year. Science Club Due to poor weather and busy schedules, the Science Club ex- perienced one of its least active years. Among the list of cancelled events were the ski trips to Mt. Wawasee and a trip to Chicago. The club held a raffle during the basketball season to raise money, and held their elections for the 1981-82 year. 1980-81 officers were Senior Dennis Schultz, president; Senior Lynn Reinhart, vice president; and Junior Jana Armstrong, secretary- treasurer.

What countries were involved in World War II? If you don't know the answers to these questions, maybe you need to take a class in social studies. Five classes in social studies are required from 7th grade up. In 7th grade history, during the 1st se- mester, students learn all about geography in the U.S. Then they get into world history during the 2nd semester. Eighth grade students, during the 1st semester, are taught all about U.S. history, then during the 2nd semester, they study about 44 The Practical Arts Jim White, Junior High social studies teacher, gives a class lecture. History is re- quired in both 7th and 8th grades. Eighth grader Yvette Harrold taking notes in history class. the Civil War. In 11th grade, students are re- quired to take U.S. history for 2 semesters. This class is designed to develop correct concepts of liber- ty, respect, and appreciation of our American civilization — in- cluding the economic problems faced by the American people to- day. Senior year students are re- quired to take government and economics: 1 semester courses. Government class is designed to accomplish four purposes: to stim- ulate interest in our government, to provide essential understand- ing of the operations of our gov- ernment, to promote careful thinking about governmental problems, and to encourage par- ticipation in government, such as voting and dealing with elected officials. In economics class, students ac- quire economic reasoning which helps them operate intelligently and effectively as members of so- ciety. For students interested in geog- raphy, a class is offered in grades 10-12. This class evaluates geo- graphical conditions and people in the world at large, in order to have a basis for solving the vital social, economic, and political problems growing out of our interdepen- dence with other people. There's also sociology—which is concerned mainly with concepts and social problems. Modern world history and me- dieval world history are two other classes that can be taken. Modern history is mainly concerned with the Industrial Revolution. The me- dieval class concentrates on the decline of empires and their divi- sion into feudal kingdoms. No Randy, the material can't be absorbed that way. Junior Randy Drake rests his head on his English book during activity period. Individualized teaching aids students Typical scene. This is a typical day in special education class. The special ed classrooms were moved to a new area this year. Individualized help to special students is what the special educa- tion department is all about. Twenty students were involved with the program this year in the junior high and high school pro- grams. Students receive help in their classes and also receive re- source assistance. The Pre-Vocational Education program is a part of this depart- ment. PVE is a work-study pro- gram for special-needs students. Eleven students worked at varied jobs such as nurses' aides, cafeteria workers, and janitor aides. Social Studies 45 Muscle strain, loss of breath.

Besides preparing the students for the units still to come, they learn about the importance of stretch- ing and overall good health. The boys' class then has a unit each on these subjects: basketball, soccer, team handball, volleyball, badminton, games, weightlifting, softball, floor hockey, and touch football. The girls' P.E. class included speedball, gymnastics, badminton, volleyball, games, softball, basket- ball, and soccer. First aid, safety, mental health, smoking, drug abuse, and health careers are some of the topics dis- cussed in health class. A required tenth grade class, the one semester course teaches students the make up of their bo- dies and how to keep them strong and healthy. Soccer is one of the games played in girls' physical education. Seventh grader Jenny Olson prepares to kick in this match. NHS aids athletic department Scholarship, leadership, and service are the cri- teria for being members of the National Honor Society. Juniors and seniors are selected by a com- mittee of faculty members and inducted at a for- mal ceremony in November. Members of NHS donate their time to work at sports events during the winter. This service has been provided for several years. In December, at Christmas time, the NHS had a caroling party. In May, they held their annual dinner at MacTa- vishes Restaurant in Fort Wayne. The juniors read the NHS senior prophecy and officers for 1981-82 were announced. The National Honor Society is sponsored by Mrs. Marcia Pullen.

Physical Education 47 The Practical Arts Languages Offer Many Advantages Repeat after me. Miss Melinda Lantz teaches her French I class. Students learn about the French culture as well as the lan- guage. Spanish I students listen to their teacher Raymond Graves. First year Spanish stu- dents concentrate on reading and writing Spanish. Would you know what an auto- pista was if someone asked you? What would be your reply if some- one said, Comment alle vous? Autopista is a Spanish word mean- ing turnpike. Comment alle vous is French for How are you? Foreign languages can be very interesting and helpful to a stu- dent. Almost anyone can use some kind of foreign language. If you go on vacation in Canada, you meet lots and lots of people who speak 48 The Practical Arts mainly French and there are many tourists speaking other different languages. A foreign language is highly ad- visable for college bound students as well as those who won't attend college. Employers will hire a per- son who can speak a foreign lan- guage before someone with the same other qualifications who doesn't. Eastside offers complete four- year programs in Spanish and French. Each year stresses differ- ent skills which students acquire as they learn a second language. The four basic skills are reading, writ- ing, speaking and understanding. At the first level, the first two skills are stressed. In Spanish II or French II, understanding and reading are pushed which then leads to the more advanced skill of speaking in levels III and IV. Posing in a Mexican sombrero is junior Michelle Lemos. Four Spanish students— Jeff Keller, Brant Moore, Jamie Smith, and Cindy Ott—went to Mexico during the summer. Foreign Language 49 The Vocational Arts What’s cookin’ Foods, clothing, interpersonal relations, consumer education, home furnishings, and child de- velopment are the different sub- jects you can take if you want to go into a field of home economics. There are three foods courses you can take. Foods I, II, and ad- vanced foods. In foods I, students learn to se- lect, prepare and serve different foods for today and the future. They also learn about kitchen management, equipment, mea- suring, nutrition, and the wise use of convenience foods. Poppin' fresh.

The Future Homemakers of America kicked off the year with a dinner for members, family, and friends after which a traditional candlelight ceremony was held to install new officers. The organization held many fund raising events: Halloween, cookie sale, Valentine day flowers, and a prom day car wash. Much of this money went to charity. Donations were made to the March of Dimes, Meadowha- ven, Butler Rest Home, DeKalb County preschool for the handi- capped and others. The chapter had a pizza party at Christmas and a cookout in May, also. 50 The Vocational Arts Foods II is for students interest- ed in more difficult food prepara- tion. Advanced foods teaches stu- dents skills in making fancy breads, desserts, cake decorating and mi- crowave cookery. In the home furnishings class students learn the basics of deco- rating a home. They covered areas such as interior and exterior de- signs, construction of homes, and buying vs. renting. Consumer education was given to students to help them make de- cisions, understand values, and se- lect consumer goods. Interpersonal relations aims for a basic understanding of student's parents, brothers, sisters, and peer groups. Physical, mental, social, and emotional growth is empha- sized. In child development the stu- dents studied such things as he- redity, environment, child abuse, birth defects, prenatal develop- ment, child birth, and careers in child care. Observations and ex- periences with children are used effectively. Foods students Alisha Porter and Pam McConnell mix the ingredients for a foods class project. Students work together on the projects. Fascinated, junior Vicki Imhoff is a student in one of the many sewing related classes in the home economics department. Besides learning how to cook in foods, stu- dents learn menu planning, measurement, nutrition, etc. Home Economics 51 Leon Strange, typing teacher, helps a stu- dent in typing I. All college bound fresh- men are urged to take the course. Mrs. Janis Hood in her office practice class. Mrs. Hood also teaches typing and short- hand. 52 The Vocational Arts It has been said that everyone should take at least one or two business courses while they are in high school. One can use business in everything and anything that he or she does. For example, typing comes in handy in high school if you have to type up a term paper or report. It is also good to know a little about typing if you are going on to col- lege. Courses one should have if you plan to go into any kind of business are accounting, business math- ematics, record keeping and sales- manship. The salesmanship course is de- signed to acquaint students with principles and objectives of sell- The Vocational Arts Getting first hand experience ing. It also provides a background of information about sales work as a basis for deciding upon selling as a career. Accounting I and II—account- ing and record keeping are essen- tials in our American economy. This course gives a basic founda- tion for a student who wishes to pursue a career in accounting. Ac- counting II was a new class given to students this year. This class pre- sented different and more com- plex accounting procedures in the areas of departmental payroll, tax- es, notes, drafts, etc. Business mathematics is for stu- dents who seriously are consider- ing a career in business. This course presents everyday business problems with instruction in the basic fundamentals. The business law course is de- signed to give an introduction to the fundamental laws that affect our everyday living. General business I, II is a study of the business-economic environ- ment in which the student lives. The student develops an under- standing of business and learns to function in the business world. The record keeping course is for clerical students who don't intend to take accounting. It provides meaningful business problems, equips the student with basic vo- cational skills that are common to Learning to operate all available office ma- chines is what machine calculations is all about. Junior Sandy Zimmerman was in the class. Typing is a recommended class for college bound students. Miss Jackie Christian's class is working on their assignments. simple clerical office jobs. Machine calculations class gives students a basic knowledge of the operation of all available ma- chines. Shorthand I, II is a study of basic fundamentals of shorthand. Stu- dents learn to write rapidly, tech- niques of dictation, the rules of grammar, and the rules of letter writing. Shorthand II gives an em- phasis on speed and accuracy in taking dictation. Office practice is a continuing process of office procedure in- volving telephone use, machine operation, filing, machine dicta- tion, machine transcription, pay- roll and perfect typing skills.

You pull off to the side of the road and get out to look at that reliable engine that has never let you down before. Now you ask yourself, What's wrong? Hmm, what do I do? Maybe if you had taken power mechanics you'd know what was wrong and be able to solve the problem right away. The industrial arts department has many courses for students to take that could help them to bet- ter understand mechanics, elec- Future architect. Junior Brent Miller works on an assignment in drafting. There are three levels of drafting offered. Working in the new junior high shop is Tom Maynard. Safety is important, as all students must wear safety glasses. 54 The Vocational Arts tricity and other things. In power mechanics, the stu- dents learned to do body work and painted seven cars. They also learned overhauling skills and re- built many engines, (four auto and one aircraft engine) all of which ran great. In metals, students learned to work with sheet metal, founding, welding, and machining. They produced many useful projects in each area. In advanced metals, students advanced their general metals skills and each produced a die to mold plastic parts. In electricity, students learned the concepts of basic electricity and practiced house wiring skills. In drafting, students were given an in-depth introduction to the real world of industrial and pro- jecting drafting. Students learned how to do lettering, dimensioning and auxiliaries. Advanced drafting was a con- tinuation of drafting I for students wishing more experience in draft- ing. Architectural engineering drafting is a continuation of ad- vanced drafting. House design is also studied. In general and advanced wood- working the students learned ba- sic machine operations on all woodworking machines, safety procedures, wood fasteners and finishes by building different pro- jects. Graphic arts was designed to ac- quaint students with various types of printing, composition funda- mentals, and the basics of the printing process. Photography is a study of the principles of visual communica- tions. It stresses camera use, film development, and print making. Silk screen is a method of printing on fab- rics like T-shirts. Eighth grade student Curt Vinson works with his design. Junior Lisa Shultz works with a headliner in graphic arts class. Students learn the differ- ent methods of printing and use many dif- ferent types of equipment. Industrial Arts 55 The Vocational Arts Ag offers variety of classes Animal care, livestock produc- tion l-ll, horticulture, grain pro- duction l-ll, ag mechanics, ag structures, vo. ag I and farm man- agement were the classes given this year to students who were in- terested in agriculture. In animal care, students learned how to properly house, feed, wa- ter, and care for horses and smaller animals. The students also learned how to identify breeds, control parasites and diseases. (unior Mike Camp makes use of the ag shop. Many students use the shop for pro- jects like painting their cars. Reinhart and Casebere win state awards This year was a rebuilding time and a chance to start over for the Eastside Future Farmers of Amer- ica. Sam Reinoehl, a graduate of Purdue Universi- ty, is the new Vocational Agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. The chapter participated in Soils, Livestock, Crops, and Dairy Judging contests. Eastside had two soils, one crops, and one dairy teams that won in the county and advanced to the area level. The Crops Team consisting of Lynn Reinhart, Lamar Reinhart, Dave Collins, and Ken Casebere placed fourth in the area contest and advanced to the state level. Lynn Reinhart and Ken Casebere were awarded the Hoosier Farmer and Hoosier Agribusiness De- gree respectively. Ken was also named the Section I Star Agribusinessman, which only three other students in the state receive each year.

The students this year trimmed hedges and worked on the school grounds, planned a garden, dis- cussed plant growth and made terrariums. In vo ag, the students learned soil judging in Maxton's Park, worked on small motors, drawing up shop plans, gave speeches, studied crops, and different types of farming. This year the student in grain production studied corn, soy- beans, wheat, oats, and alfalfa pro- duction. They also solved farm problems on a model farm. In ag mechanics, students paint- ed cars, repaired farm equipment, studied engine operation and re- pair, did a variety of small shop projects, and learned the uses of- arc and gas welding. Students in ag mechanics and other ag classes learn by doing. Valuable experience is gained in these classes. Look out Dave. Students in animal care class got a visit from the police K-9's. Here, Dave Carper sees how powerful a dog can be. The Vocational Arts The world of work What is ICT ICE? ICT means Industrial Cooperat- ive Training. The ICT program is planned to develop basic manipu- lative skills, safety practices, judg- ments, technical knowledge, and related occupational information for the purpose of filling persons for initial employment in industrial occupations. ICE means Interdisciplinary Co- operative Education. The ICE program spans all voca- tional program areas through an inter-disciplinary approach to training for employment, accord- ing to Darrell Casey, ICT coordina- tor. A student who wants to be in the ICT-ICE Program must show an intent to apply by January of their junior year. By the last day of February, the student must have Yvonne Miller and her supervisor Mrs. Van Zile work at the Knisely National Bank in Butler. Nowhere else but Burger Chef. Sheila Ha- ley worked behind the counter at the Au- burn Burger Chef. 58 The Vocational Arts his application, a teacher refer- ence, an evaluation form, (the evaluation is from 3 teachers and 3 people from the community,) stu- dent and parent agreement form, a student grade and attendance release form, and a work permit and age certificate. When a student starts working, he or she will either work in the mornings or afternoons. Three hours of attendance at school make up the rest of the day. The student takes an ICT-ICE class that is taught by Mr. Casey, and two required courses. The students in the ICT-ICE program receive 2 credits for classroom study and 3 credits from their job. Every nine weeks, the employer sends a report to the school show- ing how well the student is per- forming. In class the students and Mr. Ca- sey discuss their jobs and everyday problems that occur. Three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Fri- day) the student-worker re- searches and studies the specific skills and information needed to properly support his on-the-job training in his own particular field. He may spend his time in any of the following areas: Agricultural Department; Intensive Office Lab- oratory; Home Economics Depart- ment; School Library. This year the ICT program held a vocational banquet. It was attend- ed by the Board of Education, Ad- ministration and Faculty, ICT ICE students and employers. The em- ployers were given plaques for their part in the ICT ICE Program. Pre-Vocational Education: Front Row— Jeanne Rogers, Sandy Eck, Debra McCon- nell, Jeff Bartell.

Here comes Eastside's lady of the raceway —Senior Jenny West. Racing every summer on Steuben County Speedway's 3 8 mile asphalt track, Jenny is be- coming quite a celebrity. I have more people rooting for me than anyone else, she said. Jenny started stock car racing as soon as she was able to have a driver's license, but has been involved in racing almost all her life. Her father and brother also race. Jenny said, The rule at our house is that if you don't work on your own car, you don't race. Working on the car con- sists of repairing the engine, 1 . you don't changing oil, replacing the rear end, etc. Jenny races in a class called claimers. The claimers' class consists of street cars that have previously wrecked and main- tain an average speed of 60-65 mph during a race. Jenny's goal in racing is to go to the top, like the Indy 500.

How well do you like your school? Our foreign exchange student, Eduarda Du Pereira, describes it as Wonderful, the students have been just great. Du is a Rotary International Ex- change Student from Teresina, Brazil, the warm capital of the state of Piaui. Du says she misses the warm weather, the winters here are too cold. Du has been living in Butler with the Tom Armstrong family and will be here until January, 1982. ' 'This year in the United States is the realization of my dream to come to America, Du said. I want to see all of the United States. The big difference between school life in the United States and Brazil is sports. In Brazil we have all the sports at a social center, Du said.

The 52 Americans were free. The issue had dominated the news ever since the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran was stormed late in 1979. The final day of the ordeal was particularly exciting because it was also Inauguration Day for Ron- ald Reagan, 40th President of the United States.

Seniors 67 Seniors I L Girls' State When senior Tina Miller wrote an essay on why she would like to be chosen for Girls' State, it must have im- pressed the judges because she was chosen to represent East- side at the 1980 Hoosier Girls' State. A week of meeting new friends and learning about gov- ernment, the girls experiences are enormous , according to Tina. The girls participate in mock elections, caucuses, and cere- monies. Tina said that several things were stressed to the girls —parliamentary proce- dure, qualifications of candi- dates for state and local office, and duties of those office- holders. The experience is enormous and you're always meeting new friends and sharing new view- points with them, Tina said. The 1981 Girls' State repre- sentative will be junior Mi- chelle Lemos, who was chosen for the honor in February.

The students saw, The Doctor In Spite of Himself, a play by Moliere, on March 16, at Elmhurst High School. Money for the various activities came from donut sales, a turkey raffle, and an afghan raffle. I think when we do activities like the play, the students become more enthusiastic about French, said Miss Melinda Lantz, French Club sponsor.

The 17 girls have given up their study hall period to perform this service. First thing in the morning, the absentee slips are picked up from each class and an absentee list compiled. This list is then deliv- ered along with the daily an- nouncements to every teacher. The cadets also deliver tele- phone messages, file absentee notes from parents, and file stu- dent schedule changes. The office cadets are willing to run any errand without complain- ing, said Sandra Meeks, secretary.

Easterner makes major revisions Change was the watchword for the 1981 East- erner staff. Changes covered everything from the design to the size of the book. The year began with the most successful adver- tising sales campaign in Eastside history. The staff of 12 salespersons sold over $3000 in advertising space. The book sales campaign was also marked with success as 470 books were sold during Yearbook Week 1981. The week included a slide show star- ring students and faculty, dress up days, and a free finale dance with the live band, Starfire. On April 24, twenty-five staff members accom- panied other journalism students to Ball State Uni- versity for Journalism Day. Classes and presenta- tions on yearbooks were given for the participants by journalism experts.

Juniors Tina Burnett and Mike Howard fill out a Tuesday Activ- ity worksheet. The activities tried to help students discover themselves. One of the more controversial changes put into effect at the be- ginning of the year was Tuesday Activities. On every Tuesday during activ- ity period, students were given a worksheet asking them questions about many different subjects. The purpose of the activity was to help students learn about themselves. During the second se- mester, these activities were done on a voluntary basis. According to Mrs. Peggy Cowen, principal, teachers thought that the activities were below the high school level and that this caused their failure. Mrs. Cowen also said she would like to have the chance to try the pro- gram again, but not before making some changes. 86 Seventh Grade Thomas Erwin Ed Farrell Shane Feightner Richard Fiedler David Fisher Mitch Fogle Bobbie Gerber Marlene Geyer Tamala Gick Bobby Glasser David Green Mark Greuter Pam Hamman Racene Hanna Scott Hartman Jama Hawver Jerry Healy Melinda High Karen Hissong Dax Hollman Colleen Holt James Howard Steve Hulbert Mark Johnson Jeff Jones Susie Kimpel Jason King Lisa King Rod Kitchen Donald Klotz Mike Krieg Lisa Krontz Bryan Lane Doug Laub Loray Lawson Annette Lehman Ronni Linn Melissa Manon Terry Marchus Loretta Means Matt Miller Peggy Miller Tom Mills Bobby Morris Kenny Morrow Mark Myers Ronny Nagel Mike Nester Seventh Grade 87 Underclassmen Leadership Student Council: Front Row —Merle Wag- ner, Sponsor, Deb Blair, Jana Armstrong, Bobbie Lehman, Jeff Keller, Mari Zenk, Kristy Surface.

With just less than three weeks of planning, student council was able to crown senior Susan Zeisloft as Home- coming Queen, hold a dance with a live band, and schedule a whole week of memorable events. All members and Mr. Wagner, faculty sponsor, thought the rest of the year would be a breeze. Then, suddenly came the Winterfest jinx. Winterfest '81 was scheduled to take place the week of February 9-14. Olympic hockey gold medalist, and Fort Wayne Komet hockey star Steve Janaszak kicked off the week with a Monday visit. That was as far as it got. The next four days were cancelled because of snow. Student Council agreed to postpone Win- terfest for one week. This time it was shot down because of a four day fog delay. The only event that didn't get cancelled was the Finale Dance. Other student council activities throughout the year included the purchase of a juke box and spon- soring the Senior breakfast.

Almost every sport enjoyed a more successful season than in years past. This was really a MINOR revision. Senior Lonny Emenhiser cruises into home scoring against Central Noble. The varsity baseball season was one of the best ever. Blazer Steve Upp, puts in a lay-up during a game at Edon, Ohio. The varsity basketball team had their best season since 1968, even though they lost their last four games. 92 Sports Adding fuel to the Blazers' fire, the Butler fire department brought the team to the Central Noble game in style. The action packed game showed the NECC that the Blazers were for real. Varsity Football Termed a rebuilding year, the Blazers felt frustration, joy It was cold. It was wet. It was very windy. It was Eastside at Leo and it was the last game of the season for 17 Blazer Seniors. The Blazers annihilated the Leo Lions 27-7. The game was the perfect end to a re- building season. After several years of only one or two wins, the Blazers posted a 5-5 record and were well respected in the Northeast Corner Conference. Before a large crowd at Leo, junior Dave Work rushed for 156 yards and broke the 1000 yard mark for the season. Senior Keith Sanders also dazzled the crowd with some fancy footwork as he scored on a 23- yard run and converted two extra points. Another big game on the Blazer sched- ule didn't end so happily. The fourth ranked Central Noble Cougars traveled to Butler with their unbeaten record. East- side lost 44-7. Senior Tim Rubalcaba said, It seemed as if the Cougars had brought along their own referees. The game was emotionally charged and ended with much discontent between the two teams. There were doz- ens of penalties and two players were ejected from the game. Homecoming drew a large crowd for another exciting contest with West Noble. By the fourth quarter, the Blazers had a IB- 12 lead. A last minute play silenced the fans, however, when a 25 yard pass led to a West Noble touchdown. 94 Varsity Football Varsity Football Season Record 5-5 EHS Opp 19 Fairfield 35 14 Heritage 0 6 Woodlan 37 20 Lakeland 6 13 West Noble 20 18 Fremont 14 27 Hamilton 6 7 Central Noble 43 14 Prairie Heights 18 27 Leo 7 Varsity Reserve Football: Front Row—Coach Mike Watson, Rod Moore, Rick Collins, Tim Rubalcaba, Jeff Keller, Steve Lechleidner, Dave Bishir, Coach Mark Hetrick.

Varsity Football 95 Football Vince Freese rushed for 1053 yards, earning himself a spot on the 81-82 varsity squad Although the reserve, eighth grade, and seventh grade football teams failed to post a winning season, they showed a lot of spirit and some outstanding play. With a record of 4-4, the Blazer reserves had a lot of tough breaks. Of all of their losses, a touchdown would have meant a win or a tie in all but one, a 20-0 loss to Leo. Sophomore Vince Freese rushed for 1053 yards in the season. Freese will play varsity in 1981-82. Junior high teams posted records of 3-4 for the eighth grade, and 0-4 for the sev- enth. The toughest game of the season for the eighth graders was their season finale with the Garrett Railroaders. According to Eighth Grade Football: Front Row —Scott Dove, Scott Michael, Fred Richmond, Chris Schmidt, jim Daniels. Second Row —Don Hollman, Terry Mar- chus, Rick Lilly, Bruce Beard, Mike Slentz, Coach. Coach Slentz, the team wanted to go out with a win. They did, too, defeating the Railroaders 6-0 in overtime. Seventh graders also played a tough final game that went into overtime. The Rail- roaders defeated them, however, 0-6. Junior high coaches were confident at the end of the season that their teams had done their best. We had a few outstand- ing players, but everyone gave the most they had and that's what makes up a team, Coach Slentz said. After a less than successful season, sev- enth grade coach Monroe said, I'm glad to say that everyone got to play and not just specialty teams ... everyone got in- volved.

The tennis team, new and not yet in competition with other schools, was dealt its death blow by cutbacks of school fund- ing. William Hill voluntarily coached the team during the fall months. The volleyball team, under first year coach Miss Jill Laird, posted a 3-13 overall record. It was a young team with only two seniors. At the All Sports Banquet the following awards were given: Dawn Stine, best serv- er; Amy Laux, most improved player; and Laurie Culler, most valuable player, all NECC, first team all sectional. The team's only three victories came late in the season and one after another. The first came against Hamilton followed by Angola and Prairie Heights in the NECC tourney. 98 Volleyball Tennis Tennis never got off the ground as funding was not available.

The seniors domi- nated the team and according to coach Watson, have done an outstanding job. Many of them have put four years into wrestling and they are responsible for the success of the wrestling program. Finishing second in the Northeast Cor- ner Conference, the Blazers finished the season with a 12-1-0 record. The only loss was to conference champ Prairie Heights.

Monroe said that the team's best game was a 36-24 loss to Leo. The girls gave a good effort and were very coachable. As a coach, Monroe concluded, I feel that I may never have a team that I enjoyed coaching more than these girls.

In the Northeast Corner Conference, the Blazers posted their first ever winning record of 5-3. The Blazers ended up in fourth place in the conference. Area coaches picked the Blazers to finish seventh at the beginning of the season. When the season started, fans didn't ex- pect much from the Blazers because they had no true stars. They were soon sur- prised, however, because each member of the team performed his role expertly and the Blazers played very respectfully. Luck was not on our side.

Coach Markey Roundoffs, walkovers, splits and precise precision are a few things one needs to know in gymnastics. You would think the gymnasts would get so dizzy from some of the things they do that they'd just flop over. But no, these girls amaze their spec- tators by doing their numerous actions on the uneven parallel bars, vault, balance beam and floor exercise. Before their biggest victory against Hamilton on February 21, Tammy Gilvin unfortunately broke her arm during warm ups. However, the team pulled together, kept their composure, and made an all out effort to nose out Hamilton with a .6 victo- ry made by the intermediate team. This year in the sectionals, due to illness and injury, the team wasn't able to make it a whole team effort; however, individually the girls did very well for the first major meet. June Fiedler, intermediate beam Junior High Gymnastics: Front Row—Dyan Arm- strong, Jackie Johnson, Amy Scott. Second Row — Julie Hollabaugh, Karen Schmucker, Jenny Holla- baugh.

An exceptional performance was given by freshman Angie Gollmer at the optional level placing 5th on bars and 10th on the beam. The team's goals this year were as fol- lows: To teach the new routines, to begin work on accomplishing moves in routines, to work on style and showmanship, and to build self-confidence. When asked if the team met all these goals, the team's coach, Miss Markey, replied, “The total success of these goals is only for the elite gymnast, but there was a tremendous amount of im- provement from not being able to do a back walkover on the floor, to doing one four feet off the floor on four inches of wood, and from not being able to do a handspring on the floor to doing handspr- ing vaults.

Special Awards went to the top five sen- iors on the team: Chuck Barkley, Most Valuable Player; Dave Collins, Most Dedi- cated; Dave Bishir, Best Sprinter, Dennis Shultz, Best Field Man; and Eugene Evans, Best Distance Runner. This year's team was the biggest in re- cent years and Doty has high hopes for 1981-82. With a good nucleus coming back in the running events, and some im- provement, we could look forward to a very good year. Improvement is looked for in Eastside's running future as both cross country and track coaches count on better years to come. The cross country team, which posted a 5-5 overall record and a 4-4 con- ference record, showed other teams that the Blazers were for real. Team leaders were Senior Eugene Evans, Most Valuable Runner; Junior Mike Camp, Most Improved; and Steve Lengacher, Best Freshman. Looking at 1981-82, the team has a lot of potential. There are only two graduating seniors and five of the six top men will be returning.

With approximately 12 members on the team and only one senior, the Lady Blazers posted a 2-9 record. It's hard to compete as a team without many people, said Miss Jacki Christian, coach. They finished seventh in the NECC tour- ney. Jane Hollabaugh ran the 800 meter run, taking first place and setting a new conference record of 2:25.4. She was later named to the all-conference team. Hollabaugh later qualified for regional competition by placing fourth in the 800 meter run at the sectional. She placed sixth in the regional. Other awards were given to team mem- bers by their teammates. Amy Laux was awarded for Most Valuable Runner and Best Field Event. Hollabaugh was awarded Best Long Distance Runner.

The Blaz- er ball club broke 12 school records, was the NECC co-champ and was runner-up in the NECC tourney. At the beginning of the season, most in- formed fans at best thought the Blazers would have an average year. When the season was over, however, the team had posted a 17-9 record. Records broken were(1) most hits: 41 by Lonnie Emenhiser (2) most RBI' s: 28 by Roger Voirol (3) most wins (pitchers): 7 by Jeff Fee and Lonnie Emenhiser (4) most sac- rifices: 4 by Jeff Keller (5) most team wins: 17 (6) best winning percentage 17-9 for .654 (7) best stolen base percentage: 58-63 for .921 (8) most runs scored: 156 (9) most RBI's (team): 134 (10) fewest errors: 34 (11) most runs in one game: 22 (12) most hits in one game: 20. According to head coach Mike Fiedler, one of the season's high points was a pair of wins over Hamilton, NECC co-champs. Another highlight was a 22-0 victory over Hicksville. Other awards and honors were given to members of the team. Voirol, Emenhiser, Fee, and Rich Timmerman were named to the all-conference team. Voirol was also voted most valuable player by his team- mates. Varsity Baseball: Front Row—Sandy Hantz, RoEnna Zerkle, Jamie Smith, Susan Zeisloft, Patti McDowell, Julie Bremer, Sarah Casebere.

With a strong academic back- ground from DePauw, Indiana University, and Notre Dame, Mrs. Bowden guided the revision of the English curriculum at Eastside and brought that curriculum to life in jjg her own classroom. In spite of rigorous standards in her classroom, Mrs. Bowden has been selected favorite teacher of the year, and she's frequently vis- ited by graduates who wish to thank her for a sound English background. Her concern for students as in- dividuals as well as her good na- tured kisses for the football team, her dance with Mr. Watson, her fondness for mashed potatoes and chocolate cake, and her treatment of Huck Finn make her a friend that will be truly missed. Since 1954, Joe Smith has served as teacher, basketball coach, high school principal, elementary school principal, assistant princi- pal and athletic director to many thousands of young people in this school district. His quality of leadership, sense of fairness, and ability to get along with others have made him a per- son who commands great respect from the staff, students, and com- munity. With Mr. Smith's retirement, his counsel, humor and character will be missed. However, all of us will look back with pleasant memories on our association with Joe Smith.

I hope you agree that this is the best yearbook ever. As editor-in-chief, I have had to work with a lot of people. I have learned a lot about dealing with them. Some people, I found I could trust and count on to get things done. Those are the people that made this book possible. Congratulations to the Easterner staff and especial- ly to Mrs. Janis Hood, their advisor, for a job well done. Mrs. Hood is the force behind this book and without her guiding advice and willingness to get right in there and work, this yearbook wouldn't exist. Sincerely Joel Surfus, Editor in Chief Colophon 141 ..the last word Thus the end of the year is here. As 677 students file out of the doors for th last time. They all know that whethe the revision were mino or MINO they made this year unique S Closing 143
