Charity Dance Stuart Hood organized the St. Pa- trick's Charity Dance held in the Eastside High School cafetorium with the help of these 12 students. When asked why he attempted this project he said, I tried to think of something to do that would involve the senior class of 1984 and also help some needy cause. This dance, unlike other school dances, was open to any teenager from any school. Disc jockey Toni Richards from Ft. Wayne radio sta- tion WMEE (97 FM) spun the re- cords to the delight of those in atten- dance. Local businesses were con- tacted and many generously donat- ed money and door prizes toward the success of the dance. The pro- ceeds of the dance, which amount- ed to over $800, were sent to the DeKalb unit of the American Cancer Society. FRONT ROW — Lisa Furnish. Lori Bailey, Lisa Fry, Angie Gollmer, Amber Watson.

Something To Come Home For Summertime Fun was the spirited theme set for Eastside's Homecoming '83. Along with Homecoming comes the tra- ditional Homecoming activities. During Homecoming week, activities feature the Battle of the Classes where each class fought to be number one. The week also featured dress-up days such as; Summertime Fun day, Hat and Tie day, Twin day, Green and White day and Blazer Pride day where each class is encouraged to show their pride by wearing something distinctive for their particular class. Homecoming week also featured crazy activities such as; an old clothes relay, a marshmallow stuffing contest, a lemon-eating contest, sack race, a class cheer, and the famous tug-of-war. It was a real battle between the Senior and Junior classes, with the seniors taking firsts in the four-legged relay, old clothes relay, piggyback relay and the float com- petition. The juniors took firsts in the marshmallow stuffing contest, wheelbar- row relay, lemon eating and the tug-of- war. The overall results of the battle showed the juniors taking first and the seniors in a very close second. There was also a parade featuring the four Senior Queen Candidates, class re- presentatives and the class floats that trav- eled through the town of Butler. The greatest battle of Homecoming week, was the big football game. The anx- ious Blazer team defeated the Hamilton Marines 14 to 6. This win marked the first victory for the Blazers since 1980. Halftime ceremonies were conducted as the reigning Homecoming Queen, Jackie Harrold, relinquished her title to the new Homecoming Queen, Penny Graves. Kris Helbert was named first run- ner-up. — Lori Bailey Above — Lisa Vinson seems to be down for- the-count during a fast paced relay race. Homecoming
