Insights 11 High above, in the brilliant sunshine an eagle flys, his broad wingspan holds him aloft over the Lapeer area. His keen eye takes in all that lies below and he is impressed with what he sees, for he once thought Lapeer was small. “Well,” he says to himself. “There is the main drag, downtown Lapeer. Pretty hectic place - I can just imagine what this section of the county looks like on a Friday night! Why I should take a night flight sometime, but the change might shock my tail feathers! It seems to be the height of the color season. Boy, look at those trees, and fields - I wonder what I could find for lunch there? Maybe a trip to the local Macs! How about that building I just passed with all the high and low curves and angles? I hear they have even honored me at that school. Pretty good idea, if I do say so myself, but I think I’ll pass on lunch there! Farming seems to still be a growing concern, even though plenty of nests, oops! — I mean houses, have gone up. Not a bad place, this Lapeer County. I’ll have to try this spot again sometime but it’s time to fly. See ya later, especially all you kids down in that school called Lapeer East. They’ve got pretty good taste picking me for their mascot!” And with two powerful thrusts, our eagle eye swoops away. But he leaves us with insight into just what an eagle would think about Lapeer.

 Discovering ideas that helped not just one class, but the whole school or community was the goal of the Student Council. Composed of the officers of each class and the Student Council’s own officers they met during a different hour bimonthly. This year it was President Chris Bahls, Vice-President Colleen Muir, Secretary Kim Krehel and Treasurer Erin Burt who kept the ideas flowing. Many times they dealt only with the smaller matters that gave our school its own identity, but as the elected leaders of the student body they tried to deal extensively with each and every matter. This year they dealt with starting the school newspaper again, which they had published last year; they helped the Red Cross Blood Drive; they established a committee to continually give dances; and they maintained the guideposts in the driveways. All these actions certainly had their impact on the student life. A. Erin Burt and Kim Krehel give second thoughts to a decision. B. Christopher Bahls and Colleen Muir listen intently to the proposals of other Council members. C. Affirmative action!
