1986 Easterner Volume XXIII Eastside Jr.-Sr. High School Butler, Indiana 46721 Where do we go from here? Many Seniors posed that question as the time of graduation drew nearer. It was a scary reality for some, a new era of challenge for many, and still others were only glad to finally be there”. Freshmen graced the high school halls with their presence; Sophomores, meanwhile, reminded them of their inferiority. Juniors began thinking of their reign as Seniors, while the faculty exhausted their energies trying to remove the crowns from the present king and queens. Even with this fluctuating seniority poll, the 1985-86 school year was a success for all — students and faculty alike. Over the summer the 1986 graduates studied their options — junior college, liberal arts college, vocation- al school, or job. Many thanked God for the answered questions, others cried from frustration, but in their suffering and rejoicing they knew that they couldn't remain at Eastside forever — they must eventually move Straight Ahead . . .

I stayed with three families; the first for almost six months, the second for almost three months, and the third for al- most three months. I had no favor- ite family, as they were all very spe- cial to me. I loved them all: my three fathers, my three mothers, Alejandro, Letty, Pepe, and my three nephews. Although I did travel during my year, they were my life. Through them, I learned. My families gave me more than food and a roof over my head; they gave me their love and acceptance. In Villahermosa, I made some of the best friends I have. Bryan and Brett, two exchange students that were with me in Villahermosa, were special people. We kayaked jungle rivers, explored caves be- hind waterfalls, climbed pyramids, had our shoes shined, and ate raw clams, cow brains, fried blood, shark, and pig's feet. We sang lone- ly Christmas Carols around swim- ming pools, and bought each other Easter baskets. They were two very special friends to me. At school, I also made friends. The few pictures I have of my classmates and of the Escuela Mo- derna Jean Piaget” are my trea- sures. The students were always so eager to help me. I learned the lan- guage quickly, and was able to communicate. School was very dif- ferent in Tobasco as there are no extracurricular activities, but my families made up for any games I missed here in Butler. Villahermosa, my host city, was a beautiful city filled with beautiful people. It has a population of 450,000. The temperature never got below 65 degrees. It was usually around 90 with almost unbearable humidity. In the spring, it got up to 100 and stayed there for three months. Villahermosa is about thirty minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, so I was able to go there quite often. Thanks to the Club Rotario of Villahermosa, I traveled all through southern Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula. I went from CanCun to Toluca to the border of Guatemala. I went to exchange con- ferences in Merida, CanCun, and Veracruz. I climbed the ruins in Mexico City, Palenke, Merida, Co- malcalco, Oaxaca, and Teotenango. Through all of my travels, I never found people as warm or as happy as the people of Villahermosa. Mexico is a beautiful country, and I feel privileged to have seen so much of it. I learned the importance of many things in my year. I realized how much my family, my nation, and my individuality mean to me. I found out who really missed me, and I answered all of their letters. I want to thank the Butler Rotary Club for giving me the chance to go to Mexico, and my family for their support. A special thanks to the Armstrongs, Jerry Markle, and Eastside. The hardest part of my year were the goodbyes. I remember each face as I said goodbye. It was hard to say goodbye to a life, to a people that had grown to be my family. It was worth the painful goodbyes to have experienced the love and warmth I experienced in Villahermosa, Ta- basco, Mexico. 8 Seniors DOUGLAS LEE AYERS RICHARD C.

While some were go- ing to Florida or staying home, a group of 37 juniors and seniors and their chaperones visited our na- tion's capital. On March 22 they set off in a Greyhound bus; it's desti- nation: Washington D.C. The trip was fairly rough and uncomfortable, and the need to change buses at 3:00 in the morn- ing didn't help any. But, the weary group coasted into D.C. twelve hours later at 8:30 a.m. After find- ing the hotel and freshening up, these Eastsiders tasted their first morsels of food, after which they were on their way to see the big city. The first full day of break con- sisted of a fairly easy day of sight- seeing; we were transported by metro bus driven by Big Mac . We, his little Quarterpounders , visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and then we made our way to Capitol Hill. There we shook hands with Senator Richard Lugar and saw Senator Ted Kenne- dy descend the Senate steps. From there we took an inside look at the Library of Congress. The day closed with visits to Ford's Theatre, the Petersen House, the F.B.I., the National Archives, and shopping in the Old Post Of- fice Mall. Day two the group visited the Washington Monument, and due to a two-hour wait, the tour in the White House was bypassed. How- ever, equally interesting were the Vietnam Memorial and the Smith- sonian Complex. There we visited the National Art Gallery, the Air and Space Museum; the Natural History Museum, and the Ameri- can History Museum. There was also a night tour. We saw the Lincoln Memorial, the Jef- ferson Memorial, Iwojima Marine Memorial, and the beautiful Ken- nedy Center. Day three we visited Arlington Cemetery, Mount Vernon, George- town, the National Zoo, Embassy Row and the breath-taking Nation- al Cathedral. All this! Needless to say, there were some droopy eyelids and yawning mouths. And the long trip home didn't help — 12 hours again on a Greyhound bus headed west with 37 weary tourists plus one lead-footed driver. We did return home safely, however, and the ex- citing weekend of amazing sights ended Monday, March 24, at 6:00 a.m. by Monica Miller The Washington Monument — standing strong Angie Staley, Lisa Shafer, Rob Zerkle and Missy Schiffli take a breather while waiting and proud. on the rest of the group after lunch. 26 Senator Richard Lugar shares some advice and inside info with the group.

Like A Dream Come True 1985 FALL FAIR PAGEANT Being a participant in the Miss DeKalb Pageant was the best ex- perience ever. I have never had so much fun. I met a lot of new friends that I'll have forever. If I could do it all again, I would. Being chosen Miss DeKalb County was like a dream come true. It took many hours of work, practice, and dedication. I thank everyone who supported me and helped me to make this dream come true. by Michele Dangler I enjoyed being one of the participants in the Miss DeKalb Pageant. I learned a lot from the others that participated. We be- came good friends during the two weeks of rehearsal. We shared our talents with one another and helped each other with com- ments and suggestions. Even though I didn't place, I enjoyed myself, made new friends and met new people. I am so glad that an Eastside student was crowned Miss DeKalb County. It makes me feel very proud and EHS should be proud too. by Tawnya Patterson Michelle Dangler dazzles the student body with her dance score. r Homecoming Week has always been an enjoyable tradition at East- side, and this Homecoming was no different. The week included dress- up days, the Battle of the Classes, a pep rally, the Homecoming parade, the Homecoming football game, and the crowning of the Homecom- ing queen. The Battle of the Classes proved to be very exciting again this year. Despite some trouble with the law and with disqualification in a few events, the Seniors pulled through and won. The events included the baby bottle contest, the four-legged race, the piggy-back relay, the hall decorating contest, the class cheer contest, the tug-of-war and the float contest. Friday was a cold, rainy night, but things seemed to brighten up when Karen Hissong was named 1985 Homecoming Queen. Members of the senior class atop their con- troversial homecoming float.

Blithe Spirit, a farce by Noel Coward, turned out to be one of the best plays to hit the Eastside stage in years. Long hours, hot lights, and heavy makeup couldn't hamper this ghostly production. A cast of seven unacquainted cast members, a wonderful assis- tant director, and a super-talented director did, though, add to its success. Blithe Spirit followed the adventures of a young author, Charles Condomine, looking for supernatural occurrences for his latest novel. Mr. Condomine suggests taking notes during a se'- ance performed by the quacky medium, Madame Arcati. Mr. Condomine got more than he bar- gained for when Madame Arcati conjures up his late wife, Elvira. It turns out that only Mr. Condomine can see or hear his late wife which causes havoc when his living wife and neighbors. Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, see him talking to walls and chairs. The chaos really starts when jealousy causes Elvira to want to murder the living Mrs. Condomine, Ruth. Ruth learns of this plot and tells Charles that he must find a way to get Elvira back to the spirit world. Before he can do so, Elvira kills Ruth, and now Charles is left with two ghosts to haunt him. Charles calls back Ma- dame Arcati, and asks her frantically to send them both back to the spirit world. Madame Arcati can not do so; she figures out that it was the maid who conjured up the first spirit. The play ends happily with the spirits being sent to their rewards and the audience proclaiming that the maid 'dunnit . Miss Shepherd promised the cast that the play would be successful; little did she know that the play would not only be a huge success, but would get seven strangers to be the best of friends.

Boys7 State Indiana Boys' State is a learning opportunity spon- sored by the American Legion. Each summer, over 1,000 young men from Indiana meet at Indiana State University for a week of learn- ing about the state government. They learn the basic principles of government through practical application of the governmental pro- cess. Boys' State teaches the young men the du- ties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizens. This better prepares the young men to become our future leaders. This year's representatives were Rod Kitch- en and Noel Eck. Both young men were in- volved in the political aspect, as well as the citizen aspect of Boys' State. Both Rod and Noel benefited from his experience and en- courage anyone who has a chance to attend Boys' State. 60 by Noel Eck An Unforgettable Year Learning how to be by yourself without any teacher, learning con- trol until you dominate the fear of being a foreigner, getting used to your host families as soon as possi- ble and finding the correct and ap- propriate friends are the most in- teresting experiences you have to face in being an exchange student. This includes the language barrier faced in the first few months. Those situations are affairs you have to face and overcome to be able to enjoy your new life in a new world. Day by day you'll develop new and exciting experiences that will help you to know about the other people and most importantly about yourself. It's adventuresome and what bet- ter way can you learn about life than by being an exchange stu- dent? But some people think, If I'm OK why would I want to go away to have a hard time with strangers? That's the most com- mon feeling people have. Every- body knows that it's not easy. At first sight, everybody from home will be in your mind and heart each minute, but saying no to this chance would be closing the door to the future and new experiences you never thought would be able to happen in your life! You won't al- ways be young and even if you are happy with your life the way it is and don't need any more from life, this kind of experience is one that you would never forget your whole life. My name is Jaime E. Lopez from Bogota, Colombia. I came to Butler as a Rotary exchange student to spend 12 months in the United States. I have been very lucky and have had the opportunity to travel this country to cities like Cincin- nati, New York, Chicago, Wash- ington, Indianapolis and many lit- tle towns, seeing everywhere I go the many opportunities people born here have. My flight came from Florida on August 21, 1985. When I came off the plane in Fort Wayne, I was ready for my new world. There was my first family, the Smiths. They were the first of my three host fam- ilies I lived with. In the first few months my big- gest barrier was the language, but fortunately with their help I learned to say something different than more or less and so, so! After some time I was beginning to see some progress. By talking com- plete sentences, dreaming in a dif- ferent language than my native language, and seeing my progress in the Rotary speeches, I observed my knowledge growing gradually. Right after Christmas break I was ready to move in with my sec- ond host family and at the same time I was ready to buy a new set of clothes, two sizes larger, because of the new 12 pounds I had gained. And let me tell you, the Shockleys, my second host family, weren't a family to put myself on a diet. In the next three months, besides gaining many nice experiences, I had gained six more pounds too! The time is passing fast and it's almost time to go home. I'm living right now with the Sheltons, my last host family, and everything so far is very good. Finally, besides thanking all my host families for being as special as they were with me, I want to thank my teachers at school and all my friends for being the most impor- tant and helpful experience in this unforgettable year of my life. If you plan to go on a vacation or trip, Colombia will be your right choice. You'll see the wonderful nature and people that my country has. Thanks everybody and some day I'll be back! Prom 1986 — Almost Paradise Almost Paradise — the theme that ran through everyone's minds April 26, 1986. The traditional Ju- nior-Senior Prom was held at the Botanical Gardens, Fort Wayne, at 8:00-11:30 p.m. However, the ele- gance of the evening probably started long before that. While gals spent hours in styling salons whip- ping up new glamourous hairdos, the guys were playing ball or work- ing. Meanwhile, nails were being painted, dresses were being pressed — some were even being bought at the last minute! The beauty of the gardens was captivating, and many couples were enchanted by the romantic at- mosphere. Streamers, stars, and balloons filled the banquet rooms with a spirit of celebration, and the hard-beating music even provoked some of those ancient teachers to dance. With smiles being flashed everywhere, the evening was evi- dently enjoyable. Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be dressed in an ele- gant evening gown and ride an open carriage while in the arms of your date? Well, many couples ex- perienced such glamour. And, al- though the countryside was absent, the many passing cars offered smiles and waves of the hand while the city lights beamed upon them. And, of course, the moment ev- eryone had been waiting for . . . the crowning of the new 1986 Junior Prom King and Queen. With so many available candidates, the de- cision by the Junior Class was tough. Nevertheless, a King and Queen were named — Brad Beard and Amy Noble. The gala of the night hence came to a close after several more dances. However, the majority of the par- ticipants failed to return home be- fore early Sunday morning. While some went bowling, others went putt-putting, and still others watched movies. Whatever was done, the evening of April 26, 1986 will long be remembered. by Monica Miller Left: 1986 Prom King and Queen, Brad Beard and Amy Noble.

This award-winning Broadway hit was performed by thirty-three cast- members in Eastside's auditorium April 11th 12th at 7:00 p.m., and a full house was the outcome of both performances. The curtain opens with the dis- covery that America's current teen idol, Conrad Birdie, has been draft- ed into the army, and his manager, Albert Peterson, foresees personal economic disaster. Enter Rose Al- varez, Albert's sweetheart and faithful secretary, who not only save Albert financially, but will also promote their long-awaited marriage. The results of the stunt? They turn a small Ohio town and its citizens upside down and pro- vide chuckles and laughs around every corner. Rose and Albert dream of the day when they will be a happily married couple.

SHCW CIZ!.. 65 Sound Advice For The Future 03 Q 5—1 D OJ 5-( 03 u V On April 18, students at Eastside were given an opportunity to broaden their horizons and plan for their future as Eastside presented its fifth annual Career Day. Speakers visited from a broad range of occupations, including a state senator, a paramedic, an FBI agent and a missionary. In addition to listening to messages about ca- reers, the student body met mer- chants from the community, col- lege representatives and other con- cerned groups in the gymnasium during the Parade of Progress. Some of the activities included putt-putting and munching on chips, pop and ice cream provided by Kaiser's and Sutton's. J.C. Pen- ney sponsored a drawing for a gift certificate and the DeKalb Humane Society brought several furry friends for the students to play with. Stories, sound advice and good career planning were the basics of the Career Day program. As al- ways, it was an interesting and meaningful experience for students and faculty alike.

We began the year with an inexperi- enced team, with Shelly Baker the only girl re- turning from last year. We had 3 freshmen and 9 sophomores, with this being the first year for 8 of those 9 sophomores. Our season ended with a 2-15 record, which really doesn't show all the hard work we put into our season. Several of our games were close, within 2 or 3 points, and we did win several games although we lost the final matches. Our emphasis this year was on learning basic skills and developing a team attitude. My goal for individual skills was consistency. I averaged each girl's stats after each game and I encouraged them to try for at least 85% in each skill area. If they didn't hit 85%, that's the skill they were to concentrate on. The girls also learned that we win and lose as a team. And that the girls on the bench were just as important as the girls on the floor. Everyone had their own place on the team, which pulled us together to make a team. Next year, I hope to have all of these girls back out. With the amount of improvement I saw this year, I know we have good things coming for next year. Coach Darlene Getts J.V. Goal . . . Consistency Denice Hollman and Kelly Grogg defend the net.

Basketball This year's varsity basketball team consisted of four seniors, five juniors and two sophomores. The four seniors provided excellent leadership in a close knit group. The team played aggressive, hard- nosed basketball and, despite an 8- 12 record, probably exceeded the expectations of the fans. Brad Beard was selected to the All Conference team as well as winning the Free Throw trophy. Matt Miller was an All Conference Honorable Men- tion player while Mike Prosser was an All State Academic Honorable Mention. Kevin Livengood was the Most Improved Player and Tony Emenhiser was voted the Mental Attitude Winner. This team should be remembered for their tremen- dous amount of hard work as well as their good sportsmanship both on and off the court.

Demon- strating good sportsmanship as well as athletic ability, they cheered on the teams and entertained the fans. Being a cheerleader at EHS required hard work and dedication. What was once merely an extracur- ricular activity is becoming a com- petitive sport, and few schools in the area can compare to these squads. The reserve and varsity squads demonstrated their abilities to perfection in regional competi- tion this year. The reserve squad placed first, qualifying them for national competition. With no graduating seniors, Eastside can look forward to another great varsi- ty and reserve squad next year and anticipate many entertaining and exciting moments.

The fall homecoming activities involving the Battle of the Classes found the seniors winning the commpeti- tion. Under the able leadership of President Mandy Zenk, all extra- curricular activities were recog- nized before the student body. Convocations from the Mousehole and Camfield Productions provid- ed additional educational experi- ences beyond the classroom. The senior breakfast along with the rec- ognition night for academic honors was under the direction of the stu- dent council. Senior student coun- cil member Bryan Lane served ably as the youth coordinator for the blood drive for this community. The student council is very appre- ciative of the cooperation of the student body in assisting with the many activities sponsored throughout the year. Above — Members of the Student Council, Shelli Bailey and DeLila Ev- eretts, help out at graduation.

The National Honor Society is an or- ganization based on four elements: char- acter, service, scholarship, and leader- ship. Members are chosen by several faculty members on the basis of these elements. This year ten members were installed: Tammy Gick, Jennifer Olson, Mike Prosser, Sara Buss, Bruce Crowl, DeLila Everetts, Cathy Graves, Scott Minnick, Denise Smith, and Dawn Snyder. The induction ceremony was held in the school cafetorium on December 3, 1985, at 7:00 p.m. The major project of the year was in May — a fund-raising project for Riley's Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. The NHS members visited local businesses and the community collecting donations which was sent to the institution. by Monica Miller 109 Denise Smith is inducted into the NHS by Karen Hissong. French Spanish The French classes went to see the play “Cyrano de Bergerac in Ft. Wayne during the fall. The play was presented in both languages by the National Theatre of Performing Arts. To help celebrate Christmas, the French Club gathered at the Squire's residence for games and refreshments. Also, to brighten up the confining winter days, the French Club journeyed to Cafe Johnelle's in Ft. Wayne for an exquisite dining ex- perience. Then in May, the French and Spanish clubs met for a battle of skills in the areas of volley- ball, euchre, a water balloon toss, and a jello-eating contest. Tragedy struck one of the members of the French Club tnis spring. Tara Sustarsic was killed in a car accident. In her memory, the French Club held a dance in June and donated the proceeds to the East- side Scholarship Foundation in Tara's name.

Ill Chess Club The 1985-86 Chess Club enjoyed another successful year. After sev- eral warm-up matches with Central Noble, the team entered the Fort Wayne Regional Tournament.

In April the team travelled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to com- pete in the High School Nationals. The team played very well and placed 31st in the nation.

The choral program continued it's rapid growth this year. There were 36 members in the Concert Choir. The growth of the program is largely due to the support of the community. Attendance at the Christmas concert was over 200 and at the Spring concert there were almost 300 in the audience. Some of the many perfor- mances this year for the Concert Choir included: the Christmas Choral Concert, the Spring Cho- ral Concert, Christmas Concert at Meadowha- ven. Concert at Glenbrook, Honors Awards Ban- quet Performance, and Graduation. The Concert Choir again sang at the ISSMA Contest for high school choirs, held this year at West Noble. They sang in Group II and received a second place rating. The second half of the year proved to be a difficult one, with the loss of a very dear choir member. The Concert Choir would like to dedicate this year and its accomplishments to the memory of Tara Sustarsic. Choral director, Mr. Andersen, prepares the choir for another of its many performances. 116 Jr. High Choir EIGHTH GRADE CHOIR — Front Row — Becky Kenning, Tara Patterson, Debbie Kenning, Desi Johnson, Chris Duke, Angie Stairhime, Angie Reed, Treena Treesh, Stephanie Carnahan, Julie Sanders, Cherie Plunkett, Anna Coats, Heather Hayes.
