With school under way by mid-fall, there were changes at EHS. Mr. Dick Ford had been appointed Activities Director and he was busy seeing that “Sports Complex” being constructed on Center Grove Road was progressing as planned. Other changes at EHS brought new teams of cheerleaders to cheer at the girl’s sporting events. Another change was the first election of the new student senate which would act as the political arm of the student body. The senate became busy with the issues of retaining the student commons pavilion, which they had built, for student smoking and with the issue of closing the campus.

6 The 1985-86 school year started in the hot days of August. Before classes actually began, EHS students were busy. The fall sports opened their seasons with pre-season drills. The band went to St. Louis to march in the parade which celebrated the opening of Union Station and helped to bring the people back to the city for other attractions such as St. Louis Centere.

Sports were on the minds of EHS students in the late autumn as the annual homecoming activities were held. The traditional events of the assembly, the parade, the football game, and the coronation dance were held. On the national sports scene, the St. Louis Cardinals won the National League East Division and ran past Los Angeles Dodgers in the play-offs with homeruns by Ozzie Smith and Jack Clark. EHS students confidently went to World Series games only to see George Brett and the Kansas City Royals spoil their fun. All we got was a lousy sweat shirt. 8
