East changes with the times At the start of a new school year the alarms went off a half an hour earlier for the E.S.H.S. students. With the new time schedule, school started at 8:00 and was dismissed at 2:40. However, most students didn’t mind going to school 30 minutes earlier. It allowed them to start their afternoon activities sooner. The time wasn’t the only new change. The library was furnished with supplies to help the teaching and learning process. $9,490 was spent to supply to students with new books and video equipment. The school library was opened to the students any time before, during, and after school. After the sophomore class of 78-80 moved to the better arrangement at West, the 79-80 8th and freshman classes moved to better facilities with the new arrangement at East. 1. 12:00 p.m. signals lunch time as students from East take timeout to eat lunch. 2.

Vocational offers new opportunities Because of a growing trend to- ward occupational training, more students chose to go to the Area Vocational School. Students from surrounding towns spent three hours each day receiving an edu- cation from textbooks and actual experiences. In addition, FBLA, DECA, and VICA allowed every student a chance to compete in special events and run for state offices. Kelly Lake stated, We learned good job skills. The assembly gave me an idea of the rules that were to be followed. 1. 2:40 was greeted by vocational students with the same enthusiasm as everyone else. The earlier starting time paid off with an earlier closing time. 2. COMPUGRAPHICS gave students like Paula Webb the chance to check her work before it was finalized. 3.
