STUDE T LIFE 8fStudent Life Our lives as students at Eastside form an important founda- tion for our future. We gain a knowledge and an understanding of the world, and channel this into developing our own ideas, opinions, and Hour sidef, Our experiences as students will influ- ence our thoughts and activities for many years to come. Student life encompasses our day to day routine of going to class, of learning, of friends, and of new experiences. The special events that highlight our day can be anything from a rigorous game of tennis to a relaxing afternoon of sleep. Whether it be the prom or graduation, each year contains a happy moment for each of us.

Student Life A common occurrence: students in constant motion The ringing of bells, the scurrying of students through halls, and the socializing between new and old friends were common occurrences at the beginning of the school year. The arrival of new students and the return of old students added to the hard- ship, confusion, and excitement of the year. When the first bell rang at 7:45 a.m. we, the students, settled down to think about the classes awaiting us. To be mixed in with the tension created by our classes, there was always some fun. We had the enjoyment of missing our 6th period classes to cheer the Mighty Rams on during a Pep Rally, or were able to see the extremes students went through tojoin a club. Adding to the excitement was the anticipation of decorating our school during Homecoming. The students always seemed to find time to either participate or cheer on their favorite sport, but there was always time to gossip with friends during lunch. The students at Eastside, whether they were active in a sport, club, or another activity, always showed the spirit and pride we had for 'four sidef' Eastside. 1 '4 1 l0fStudent Life
