East students were greeted this year by a new- comer to the administration, Dr. James Sandfort, who assumed his role as principal with confidence and ease. Because of previous administrative positions at South he accepted the bedlam of high school life without shock. Assisted by three vice principals, Dr. Sandfort over- saw requisitions, program changes, and faculty problems. Dr. Lillian and Mr. Geraci attempted to deal with student affairs, while Mr. Newcomer as Director of Sports and Mr. Trast as head of curriculum coordinated sports events with academics. All tried to counter student dissatisfac- tion. Administration 7

They were welcomed not only as breaks in the routine, but also as sources of information and entertainment. A wide spectrum of student interest was reflected by an assortment of different assembly subjects. Stu!Fac Coalition, Homecoming and HAUBERK Queens, United Fund, and Drill Team were all given equal time and at- tracted large audiences. Generally assemblies represented student participation without obligation. L f . A .411 A modern dance troupe gives their interpretation of self-realization.

The Coach and his trophy shine in Dodge. 10 Basketball Bates Leads Lancers to 2-0 Start Coach Dave Rehfeld, in his fourth season at SM East, saw his Lancers jump off to an impressive start. In their first test of the season, the Lancers crushed the Southwest Indians by a score of 78-53. The Lancers were never in any danger with seniors Dave Kennard and Gary Bates pumping in 25 and 24 points, respectively. The Lancers then faced a scrappy Turner Bear team whom they finally put down 66-61. Again the shaggy-haired Bates put in 24 points. But the tables turned quickly the next week as the Lancers were picked apart by the Sumner Spartans, 44-81. The game was completely dominated by Sumner, a perennial cage power. Conditions did not improve the next week as the SM West Vikings leveled the Lancers record at 2-2. West grabbed the victory in a double overtime, 65- 72. In the first overtime, the teams played cautiouslyg West outscored East 7-0 in the second overtime to put the game away. Bates, Steve Lampone, and Harry Murphy combined their shooting and rebounding talents to give the Lancers their first League victory of the season. The win came against the SM North Indians, who led by 6 points after the first period. The three Lancers all scored in double figures, and combined at one point in the second half for 11 consecutive unanswered tallies. As a result of his deadly long-range scoring abilities, at this point Bates was leading the League in scoring. Steve Lampone finds himself sprawled on the floor, guilty of a questionable charging call.
