7th Grade Horizons The seventh graders at Eastside also enjoyed a year of new Horizons. Not only were the seventh graders involved in the new Horizons' pro- gram, they also enjoyed an expand- ed music curriculum offered for the first time this year. This was the year for mini-courses, too. In addition to their regular course load, the seventh graders could choose mini-courses such as junior high newspaper, Spanish, French, sign language, industrial arts, computer activities, and games. This year the seventh graders took giant strides toward becoming an in- tegral part of Eastside's expanding horizons. Above Right — Amy Hook serves punch to Amy Bos- serman and Mr. Mrs. Munsey.

Seniors Invade Indy On February 9 the seniors embarked on the annual trip to Indianapolis. The tour began at the State Capitol Building where we met Senator Worman. After a brief question and answer session con- cerning the Senate, we proceeded on to the House of Representatives to meet Congressman Gerig. Before leaving the State Capitol Building, the Appeals Court was visited. Before leaving the area, we walked to the Hyatt Regency and many visited the Eagle's Nest for a birds-eye view of Indy. The Children's Museum was the next stop on the agenda, and from there we went to the Castleton Shopping Mall. After the miserable weather we had ex- perienced, the seniors enjoyed a warm, beautiful day in Indy. — Laura Means Above — Bruce Everetts.

8th Grade Horizons This was the year of new horizons for Eastside Junior high students. For the first time, a program for the gift- ed and talented students was imple- mented. The eighth graders had the first opportunity to try their wings in the new program called Horizons. The students were exposed to many types of creative problem solving and independent research tech- niques. Although the program was in its beginning stages, the students had a variety of learning exper- iences. The eighth graders found that Horizons was a lot of work, but there were fun times, too .. . like the field trip to the main branch of the Allen County Public Library and the regional library located on the cam- pus of Indiana Purdue University. This year’s eighth graders had the unique opportunity to be in on the ground floor of a program designed to develop their potential and ex- pand their vision.
