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.
