East High 1971 Yearbook

It you did not exist, how many opinions would be left unquestioned in want of harmony?

When I was 10, my best friend loved the smell secreted by a bus. haven't seen him since, but I can't help wondering what his attitude toward bus exhaust is now. a flower was pretty, a stream bubbly, a bus was just a bus. now a smell is no longer a smell- its source is questioned in order to determine its right to live in our America.

Rain patters on my window and leaves streaks of crystal hazethen drools down, and plops in large puddles that expand outward like the hand of a small child reaching for someone who cares. But the masses of people scurry by with their pepsodent smiles and nauseous "Hi's".

Hearing , but not listening to the cries, advancing their thdughts, but uttering a different sound.

We have to mergeto come together, to find an understandingto find peace.

We are- all here to learn. Thjs includes teachers as well as students. Not to memorize x- - b±Vb2 + 4ac or 2a the year 1776 , but to experience the process of thinking. We are individuals, but being over 2000 in number, we feel the need to work together. Unity and harmony among 2000 is a difficult state to achieve. It requires many things from each of us.

atmosphere charged with respect develops initiative

The over-all term is mutual respect, but that term assumes many aspects. Treating one another as equals is one basic element. Showing the same courtesy you would show a friend is another Human understanding of each other's feelings and ideas is an area in need of practice for most of us. When a teacher is interested enough in what he is doing to prepare les sons and assignments, he is trying to share his knowledge and make it fun and interesting for students to learn. Again, as a matter of respect, students should be receptive to new ideas and thoughts by listening, taking part in • class and making an effort to complete the assignments. Should we obtain conflicting viewpoints, we are more likely to share our ideas if we feel assured that teachers and classmates will not belittle us. It seems that when there is a group , there is someone who is in charge In the classroom situation the teacher assumes this responsibility. Many teachers feel that if the policy of common respect is followed there is no need for strong authority. A friendly atmosphere where there is just enough supervision to make the learning process work would be a desirable standard for all classrooms. For everyone involved, the constantly creative experiences which go on within a school and interactions of so many people, in informal conversation as well as classroom set-ups can prove to be valuable references in knowing and understanding humanity.

"the attitude of our students seems to reflect enthusiasm.,, - mr. darwin salestrom

This year the MAN upstairs was no longer upstairs, he was on the student's level in the form of Mr. · Jim Huge. Earlier in the year students, parents and faculty alike

but they are to the student. Respect is granted when earned, and it seems the administators had earned it.

Mr. Huge spent his first year at

new principal emphasizes the necessity of change

were concerned with new policies enacted by a new principal. But at the end of the year, students had completely forgotten the anxiety and were heard to say, "Last night Mr. Huge was at one end of the hall and I was at the other, and he yelled 'Hi!"', or "It may be trivial but he offered me a rice krispie bar, andhe was really human!" Occurrences like this may not seem important,

East opening communication lines. He was "impressed by the amount of co-operation assumed by all teachers and students." Involvement on the part of the student ·aided by past and present administrations led to the option rallies, pass-fail courses and the abolishment of the dress code. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the element of co-operation.

Besides the principal, the man most in contact with students was Mr. Darwin Salestrom. Anything concerning school, special events, commencement activities, everyday conflicts and disciplinary actions are duties of the vice principal. He viewed his role as one of trying to help students work out conflicts within themselves through education.

"To lead successful lives and to become aware" were the main objectives of high school according to Mr. James Rakers, Assistant Principal for Student Services. His duties consisted of working with

counselors, recording grades and working with Student Council.

In all the administrators' opinions, their role was to try and join the forces in the public schools in an atmosphere where the individual may achieve his own goals, to bring together student, teacher and parent voices, and to teach fewer facts and more ability to teach one's self. No longer are administrators strangers that only come out to lecture and condemn. These men are aware of change, and aware of the fact that change is necessary and fundamental in leading to a true educative experience.

This year besides the five regulars on the counseling staff, there were three counselors in training. These Practicum Counselors came one half day each week to gain experience in working with students and to receive college credits in student teaching. One counselor noted that since each was responsible for approximately 375 students, the assistance of the Practicum Counselors was a definite asset.

counselors recognize, 'respect individual's dignity

The counselors prepared future schedules and supplied information about PSAT, SAT, and NMSQT and also attempted to form a link between student, teacher and parent. When there was a problem concerning school or social life, the counselor was there.

One senior girl was surprised at the understanding she received from her counselor regarding her midterm graduation. The counselor explained that he tries to learn each counselee individually and that in her case, he would recommend a mid-term graduation.

In previous years, group meetings for each class were held monthly. This year meetings were called only when necessary.

Another Career Day was held October 21. Not only college professions but technical jobs were previewed.

One counselor summed up the function of the department when he stated, "Everyone has dignity and worth, and the work involved is unimportant in relation to the satisfaction of having helped."

"everyone has dignity. i find it rewarding to help each individual find his."

Socrates once said , " The unexamined life is not worth living. " Social Studies provided a student the opportunity to examine his life.

The methods of examination were numerous and varied this year through new courses and through changes in the old. Teachers stressed interpretive understanding of the material covered.

American History included such units as " Geography In An Urban Age" where students developed a city known as Portsville and studied a city's structure, and the " Ocean County Curriculum Project" which provided a history of humanities involving a study of American people through the artistic and musical contributions of ethnic groups. "The Shaping of Western Society " compared and contrasted people around the world.

These three units were pilot projects previewed at East for the Public School District.

Several new courses were introduced. The Asian Studies

courses were Federal projects. Also new to thfs year ' s Social Studies program was Psychology taught by Mrs. Lois Hansen. It had

while another commented on its helpfulness in understanding the various types of people that make up our society.

students obey socrates as they examine their lives

Inquiry Program, taught by Mrs. Margaret Seivers, emphasized small group and individual use of ten different books concerning thought , religion and culture.

Economics 12, another new course, was a national project with the Federal government making up the curriculum and organizing the resources. Many of these new

been taught at other high schools for some time, but the approach at East was different. Such areas as "Understanding Human Behavior ," " Mental Health," and "You and Your Society" were dealt with. Responses to the course were very positive. One senior girl stated, "I think every sophomore student should take it first semester,"

Second semester introduced a course taught by Mr. Richard McGowan entitled Geo-Politics. It consisted of a survey of the political world viewed through the perspective of geography. Mr. McGowan stated that the course was, "a coniparsion of not only physical geography , but also included cultural, economical, and humanistic factors."

"if they could only learn to think ... " - mrs. june williams

"i think people need to know something about their economic system, both 'its strengths and weaknesses."

- mr. dwain myers

Mathematics is a burden to some, an intrigue and a challenge to others. One math teacher stated that there was nothing she liked better than to work on a really challenging math problem. Another commented, "The fact that there is always a correct answer comforts me!"

In math there is always order.

facts comfort teachers, challenge students in math

There is a definite answer and a reason for that answer being correct. Without actually realizing it, math students are gaining experience in how to think logically and how to organize their ideas and reasons. Knowledge of why a fact is, is as basic as the fact itself. Math teachers hope that this orderly thinking ability can then be transferred to other situations which are not as functional as math; valid conclusions can be drawn in everyday circumstances. Many students feel that math is oi little value; however, math instructors have pointed out that many occupations demand a background of math. One teacher stated that "the greatest need of our society is to have enough individuals who can and will think logically and in an orderly way to try and solve today's problems."

Scientific knowledge is a creation of man, and each man needs some comprehension of scientific thought ' s impact upon society. Through the study of science, a person is capable of increasing his awareness, understanding and control of the natural world. Nothing is of greater importance now than man and his environment. We must learn how to save all forms of life from the problems of pollution in order to survive. Science awakened the student's awareness of his living surroundings. It enabled him to understand how the problems were created and what can be done to halt them. The

science brings man and his surroundings together

study of ecology was implemented in many science courses. Science not only offered the student an understanding of ecology, but also an explanation of the value of care to his own body and a knowledge of his structure and functioning parts. It taught the practice of logical, systematic problem-solving skills and provided a basis for achieving a relationship with present-day society's many technological and scientific problems and advancements. As in many departments, the Science Department followed the trend towards individualized instruction. More emphasis was placed on the student's responsibility for his learning. The chemistryphysics course underwent a summer overhaul, and students expressed satisfaction in the change. One student explained, "The packets are shorter which makes more learning much easier and more interesting."

"In order to build good relations and trust in each other , we must understand and communicate. " This is one teacher ' s explanation of the need for foreign language courses.

foreign language builds aw.areness, trust, tolerance

Another teacher continued that in today's society, knowledge of only one tongue is often insufficient and will soon be unheard of. People must be able to keep up with modern ways of transportation and communication . Perhaps the best way to do this is through the study of another language.

Foreign language offered insight into cultures other than one ' s own and allowed a person to become more aware and tolerant of other people's behavior and thinking . New equipment such as a cassette tape recoroer and a short-wave radio and new faces in the department produced a fresh approach to the study of foreign languages. Students participated in puppet plays, singing and the preparation of foreign foods. Use of the language lab and the many resources available in the resource center was emphasized

"i teach trench because i love it."

- mrs. cindy meyer

"i have a hard enough time in english, -so why would i want to study another Jar,guage?"

-a student

"i want my students to learn a sincere respect for the opinions of others and the ability to communicate and understand their own opinions or feelings effectively."

-mrs. roxanne o'gara

"Don 't we all talk-and thinkand often write? ''

Language is basic to human needs. Without effective understanding of o,:te ' s own opinions and a tolerance of the ideas of others , an individual is lost in today's society.

A common goal of English teachers this year was to develop the student's ability to communicate and to create an understanding of people different from ourselves.

Students examined literature which presented people in various circumstances. One teacher explained , " This broadens the understanding a student has concerning men in many different cultures." Differing opinions were

universal feelings explored in english curriculum

presented, and students were encouraged to make judgments and to react to each situation.

Universal problems were set forth in the literature. Without singling out one individual's experiences, students were discussing dilemmas which may someday be their own.

Teachers were more concerned that students learn how to look at literature than that they remember exactly what happened in a certain novel. The need lies in learning how to approach the work and evaluate it.

In trying to meet student needs on a more individual level, three new courses were added to this year's curriculum. American English, formerly called linguistics, delved into the American use of the English language and "offered new insights to the power of words," according to Mr. James Holechek who taught the course.

A course in General Literature presented the opportunity for students to select from a wide variety of contemporary works. Senior Composition, consisting of creative and analytical writing, gave students the chance to express themselves as writers while learning the techniques of writing.

" i belie ve that english is the single most important area to all individuals."

- mrs. shirley doan

Fine arts became more and more "fine" as the classes leaned toward the individual's own creative ideas. Since· they were elective courses, each required and consequently rewarded its participants with abilities and qualities which changed their outlooks on school, even if only a slight degree. Because of the exercise in initia-

the interdependent aspect but provided opportunities for the individual. Those just beginning in this area were surrounded by a workshop atmosphere free of tests and papers, performing at their own rate. Progressing further, students examined the historical aspect of the theatre. Stagecraft involved its

Individual preparation was the key to working as a unit in instrumental music. Hours spent in practice rooms and private lessons gave way to balance within the performing group, and readiness and willingness on everyone's part to contribute. This could be called a study in cooperation, obedience and response to a group.

fine arts lean towards individual's creative ideas

tive and self reliance, journalism became an experience somewhat different from other fine arts classes. Students improvised to obtain a result which was entirely their own creation, striving to be professional in result. Various types of students were involved, adding the contrast necessary to a publication. Learning to meet responsibilities and develop initiative were compulsory for maintaining a place on a publications staff.

A new speech curriculum was centered around the individual student, student activities and student problems. There was an attempt for more involvement in intra- and inter-personal communication in an informal atmosphere, rather than student speeches. Self evaluation was an important ingredient; students were never pressured. The importance was placed on exploring the process of how to go about solving a problem. Group work done in and outside class created the necessity for all involved to learn a tolerance of one another.

Students with a special interest in this area explored the "nitty gritty" of various problems in debate class. Self direction became an essential element resulting in more experience in critical analyzing and debating. As in many other fields in life, winning was not the only goal. The experience and ideas gained in preparation were important rewards.

Drama students followed a different line of responsibilhies, promoting interest and enthusiasm in theatre arts. Students became aware of how all the arts invoJved in a theatre production are related. It was a "family" art that stressed

members in the technical theatre, requirmg at least 30 hours outside of class as a member of a production crew.

Performances were more a group product in vocal music than in other areas. The individual was important to the final sound of his section, but pressure was not specifically on the student as far as the ·total outcome of the performing group. The type of music presented varied with the general desire and ability of each class to learn and perform. The caliber of students entering the department this year was the best in East's short history, according to Mr. Jon Peterson, vocal instructor. Knowing and following what was expected in this department led to personal discipline and an awareness of happenings iri music, contemporary, a well -as that of earlier periods.

Like other areas of fine arts classes, the art department was also one based on students' performance. Expressing one's self artistically for enjoyment was stressed. Teachers did not expect to turn out professional artists, but rather consumers of art products who were better prepared to evaluate art. Another quality gained was the ability to be truly aware of what one saw. Art created an interpretive situation where differing ideas were desirable. The teacher may have shown a student various routes for obtaining a final result, but individual ideas were not criticized. Art Humanities was a team-taught class tying all aspects of the arts together. The class required student participation for full benefit to the class.

"i try to teach them how to think. is there anything more important?"

- mrs. linda freeman

In our "made in Japan" society , one of the most soul-satisfying experiences may be to create something with our own hands , and in our middle class world it's often necessary , too.

Mr John Kennedy , automechanics instructor, explained, " There is a premium for a person with .a technical skill , no matter

home ec, industrial arts yield practical creations

what field he chooses "

The Industrial Arts and the Home Economics departments offered • courses to prepare a student for many of the practical, everyday aspects of his future Teachers stressed the need to understand the industrial and consumer sectors of our economy.

Interest in these classes was high. One student commented, " This is my favorite class , We ' re learning and talking about things that are really important in our lives. "

Industrial Arts and Home Ee classes provided a unique way to fulfill a student's creative urge, in the kitchen, behind the lathe or under the hood. A junior girl enrolled in crafts expressed the "delicate " female opinion when she exclaimed , " I swear I ' m going to kill myself off before the semester ends. I get a new cut every day! "

business education classes preview working world

Business ~ducation offered vocational training in the era of college prep. A major in business from East prepared the student to enter the working world directly and equaled training received from a business school.

Students from Office Practice and Shorthand received practical training and provided help for the office clerks by taking dictation and typing letters. An 8:00 seminar was held once a week to learn the operation of mimeograph and duplicating machines.

Two courses were introduced second semester. An advanced personal typing class was offered to students wishing to improve skills, and a business machines course, previously restricted to Office Practice students, was opened to all interested students.

Education concerns itself with the human brain, but we cannot ignore the fact that every human also has a body which needs care for proper development. Bodies do not react automatically; they, too, need a proper atmosphere for practice in coordination Physical

muscles began bulging as p.e. classes bui Id ·bodies

Education offered this opportunity. Exercise is very important to good health not only now, but in later life. It increases circulation and improves general health so as to · prevent physical problems which develop as a person grows older. With automation providing more and more leisure time, people have a greater opportunity to become actively involved in a sport or hobby. Rarely do adults attempt to participate in an area where they have no skill or practice. Physical Education provided a .chance to establish some degree of skill which can be referred to in later life.

A new course in the department, Girls' Tennis and Gymnastics, was a type of continuous progress class. Each individual started at her own level of drills and completed them at her own speed.

"everybody can do something; it's just a matter of finding that something." -a student

"there is more to swimming than just going back and forth doing a stroke."

- mr. dennis vokolek

Driver's ed? Oh, yeah, that's the class that all sophomores take so they can get their driver ' s license as · soon as they turn sixteen. Right? •

driver education prepares for life, death Situations

Basically, but there ' s more to it than just that. Driver ' s ed prepares the future driver for many situations he will encounter when he begins driving. Knowing how to react may be of life and death importance.

Last summer many people were baffled by the unusual set-up in the student parking lot for driver ' s education. The driving range was a temporary arrangement that had to be set up each day by the four instructors, according to Mr. Rudy Stoehr, driver ' s ed instructor. He continued that the driving range will be a permanent addition in the near future, complete with a control tower. Present plans involve building in the student parking lot.

Besides searching for students to be weighed, measured, and have their vision and hearing tested, Mrs. Janet Zenner, sc~ool nurse, served as a resource person. Mrs. Zenner talked to Mrs. Marlene Bachman ' s seventh grade Home Economics class about babysitting , explained eye examinations to the Driver ' s Education classes, and taught students how to check pulses in Health Education classes. The Instructional Media Center, (IMC), run by Mr. Tom Crockett, was responsible for scheduling films , making signs , charts , and transparencies , and video taping classes. Two student teachers, three to four students, and a full-time clerk , Mrs. Estella Detmer, assisted in the IMC each period Mr. John Schere, librarian, and

specialists lead school to high degree of efficiency

Mrs. Marilyn McEntarffer, library assistant , aided the approximately 1,000 people using the library each day. Many of the people make use of the library ' s 16,000 books, while others use records, filmstrips , and other resource materials found there Although the library is still used for relaxation, it is much more of a work area than in the past. The south door was locked at the beg i n n ing of the year to prevent the library from being used as a hallway during classes. After much student protest and an examination by the Fire Inspector, the door was unlocked at the end of the first quarter. A11 corporations must have a central office to function properly. The business of education is no exception. Six women handled all correspondence , phone calls, and announcements and kept all student re cords, keeping track of absences and tardies. They gave building permits, ran the test make-up center, sent out senior transcripts , and kept all club money records. Anyone who received an office call slip or who • had lost something was assisted by one of these women.

custodians, cafeteria staff think in large numbers

Dealing with large numt;>ers isn't only the life of a mathematician or astronol'ner; when it comes to feeding and cleaning up after the entire population of a high school such as East, large numbers figure into the lives of the custodians and cafeteria staff, too. The custodial staff works 'round the clock to keep up with the continuing activity within 'East's walls. As the night shift is leaving and the morning help arrives, the cooks begin preparing for the day. Mrs. Wilma Wise, cafeteria manager, opens the kitchen at 6:30, and the head cook and head baker begin work at 7:0Q.

The raise in lunch costs due to the increase in the price of food and fewer government commodities didn't affect the number of students buying lunches, according to Mrs. Wise. On chili days, the twentythree cooks prepare 1000 servings and on a turkey day they bone and roll twenty turkeys, serving every bit.

"sometimes i feel that i could raise my hand 'ti/ i was blue in the face and he still wouldn't call on me."

seniors

"we're at the top of a long struggle; if we apply ourselves we can do anything!"

The class of '71 -together we were Seniors, alone we were individuals. Each one of us was a special, unique person.

Suddenly the future isn't just the future; it is tomorrow. For two years we had been dependent on friends, doing things as a group. This

who said, "I've had the time of my life, and I'm sure nothing will ever be quite the same."

Some seniors expressed a disappointment in high school, however. One senior wished that "high school could h_ave been more of an experience, instead of a

suddenly what was the future happens tomorrow

year there was movement towards the ·individual. We wanted and needed time to be alone. Thirteen years of schooling were ending, and there were many decisions to make . Sometimes it was easy to feel alone when we realized the decisions we faced could only be made by ourselves. One senior said, "Maybe we are a little insecure since our futures are unsure." We needed time to be aIo ne, to think, to dream, and to plan .. ........... .

High school should be a place of learning, not just by studying books, but by meeting people, going places, and having fun. Many people felt high school had met their expectations, as did the senior

memorization process." Many expected more freedom in choice of classes and felt there was a lack of responsibility among us, responsibility that we'll need if we want to go somewhere in life.

Yet we learned to accept the bad with the good. Being a senior didn't mean our days were always happy and carefree. Many days brought insecurity, confusion, and fear. We looked to a future of college or jobs or the war.

And then we awakened to find our high school days a thing of the past. We've tried to make decisive moves in our progress towards a better life. We now know we are only one human being in a world of man, and the decisions we made concerning our future determined whether or not we wi II be of importance to others. The task of being a senior and deciding our future was not an easy one, but we tried and one day we will realize we have succeeded.

"fight for thfJ white, fight for the blue, we're the class of '72."

Experiences awaited the class of '72 as they began their junior year. Many of these were similar to ones they had faced as sophomores, many were novel.

The realization that true relationships have more to offer than superficial ones affected most juniors. Somewhere between the sophomore and junior years they became more sincere. "People seem

Given a chance to show their athletic abilities, junior girls defeated first the sophomores and then the seniors to gain the Powder-Puff football championship. The only complaints were of bruises and broken fingernails.

The successes of both the musical and the all-school play depended on the performances of junior class members in leading and sttpporting

sions within the class, stating, "not everyone was involved." Cliques, however, are a problem that will b e encountered throughout life. In a class of suct:t varied personalities, people with common interests tend to unite.

One particularly optimistic junior girl, when asked to find fault with her class, replied, "Now that would take some thinking!"

to put others down less than last year," one boy noticed.

Popular opinion did not govern students' thoughts and activities. Acceptance was everyone's goal as sophomores, but juniors found that being an individual was more important. Maturity, the cause for the changes, seemed to bring more harmony to the class.

Most juniors participated in one or more extracurricula~ activities. There were sports for many guys. One person commented, "Juniors made up half of the Varsity football squad." It was the first year of Nikians for girls. A variety of intramural teams and clubs provided other opportunities for involvement.

roles.

The major concern of any junior class is producing a memorable prom. Bake sales, concessions and East High pennants were some major fund-raising projects. Disgust and exasperation were expressed more than once in cries of, "No one knows what's going on!" and "No one cares!"

Being a junior meant:

"I can see A-rated movies!"

"I have a few more whiskers."

"One helluva riot!"

"I know what I want."

"Just one more year."

With only the senior year ahead, schedules were planned with the future in mind. Some students look forward to graduation in 1972, others are apprehensive about leaving the security of East.

Many juniors criticized the divi-

Snowmobiles ventured out during the continuation of Christmas vacat ion , taking advantage of the extra two days necessary snowstorm survived for months afterward , providing a source for the manufacture of stale snowballs. Crisp evening walks, the generating warmth of cozy fireplaces and hot chocolate Yet the lower temperatures did not prevent tee -pee episodes;

The added responsibilities with less restrictions were a welcome change from junior high for many sophomores. They especially

approved of the lenience in dress codes and assembly and study hall procedures. One girl commented, "The teachers and faculty seem to be more on the students' level."

Attending East for junior high proved to be an advantage in knowing school procedures and traditions. One boy said, "I know more people, both in and outside my class, than I would if I'd gone somewhere else for junior high." Left-over cliques from junior high days were criticized by class mem-

just as seasons change, so did the sophomores.

It was only natural to stay with friends from previous years, but there was mixing of groups, too. Cliques still existed, but "it's not as hard now to be in a certain group as it was last year because kids are lots nicer." There was no definite outline of cliques, but their existence could be sensed. It was a common wish among class _ members that the class of '73 could become more united. One

other sophomores. Girls complained that the boys were in need of school and class spirit.

The school year was begun with traditional elections for class officers and student council members. A lack of leadership seemed apparent when very few sophomores chose to participate. Being unfamiliar with procedures and other class members was the common excuse. "Most kids just didn't know what was going on."

Opportunities were also newly opened to join school-sponsored clubs, 15ut many sophomores remained inactive. They felt that many activities were geared mainly to juniors and seniors, such as Pep Club, and that they would probably become more involved in activities as they became older. Sophomores felt that they were looked down upon by older members of the senior high, but not as much as tenth grade classes at other ~igh schools where there are no junior high students. One girl's strong objection was, "Just because they're seniors they can do dumb things and get away with it."

"It seems like a tradition to hate the junior high, but it hasn't been so long since we were there," was another girl's comment. And sophomores could begin to understand why the senior high students looked down on members of the junior high. One remark was, "I just ignore younger kids." Members of the class of '73 looked forward to their next two years at East with enthusiasm and hopes for class unity. "Next year will be even better because everybody wi II know everybody else, so little groups and cliques will begin to dissolve."

"we used to be afraid of the ninth graders, but now we're the ninth graders bullying the seventh and eighth graders around."

8y the close of the final sp i rit week pep rally , it was well known throughout the school that there was a junior high Not only had the ninth graders won the decoration award , but the noise made by the entire junior high student body certainly could not be ignored _" Spirit has to be our greatest contribution to this school, " stated

what we have to look forward to. We owe them thanks. "

Many felt that they were sti II looked down upon , however, and that whenever anything went wrong they got the blame

"I get sick of being accused of everything ," complained a ninth grader , " but the trouble is , we deserve it. Kids are in bad shape

'flags of truce' appear as junior high gains identity

one junior high student. " We can identify through it. The senior high can't ignore us now ."

"Finally we felt a part of the school ; it was the first time we ' d done anything! " remarked a ninth grader " The whole class was a part of us winning in one way or another and I know each person felt pride. "

White flags of truce appeared more often as the war between the high school and the junior high was subdued. Instead of hating and belng jealous of the senior high, junior high students began to look up to them.

"Really they're an asset. By looking at them you can see what you ' re going to be like a few years before you get there They show us

if they can't wait until they ' re out of school to make out!"

Unification of the junior high may have been due to the new junior high principal, Mr. Larry Barnes " This whole building is a complex ; the junior high is part of it. This school couldn ' t function if we all worked separately. Junior high students are discovering that it's a pretty good place to be. "

Lamenting over one of the physical disadvantages, one seventh grader moaned , " Every time I walk through the halls , I have to dodge all those tall guys. "

Getting used to the taller heights , seventh graders discovered that "it's not so bad as they all say. I l i ke it now , but I'm really looking forward to high school. "

Sports, journalism and a better student council were the three things which the junior high found most improved. At the beginning of the year the " Gummer Gazette " was

buried and " Spartiatia " was born. The exclusively junior high newspaper was created by a determined staff of junior high journalism class recruits.

The football teams succeeded in proving that they were finding their way in sports. One student predicted , " When we ' re in senior high, we'll be good. "

One ninth grader commented that when he graduates he won't be able to desert the junior high. He felt that last year ' s freshmen class had always " griped about getting the raw end of the deal, " but as sophomores they " can ' t stand us. "

" As sophomores we ' ll owe something to the junior high, " he added. " We know what it ' s like to be the underdog, so next year we ' ll have to help them to feel more a part of the school. There were some people who gave us understanding and help, pretty ' soon it will be our turn. "

Birth ...... Death. Somewhere in between you try to squeeze in as much living as possible. Not just existing, you want to be. By the time you've figured out who you are, you've got a few gray hairs. You've made millions of mistakes, had several heartaches, but they fade as time goes by and you find yourself remembering more good times than bad.

It's hard to believe you were once only seven pounds and weren't able to talk or walk. You wish yo.u could remember everything. It would mean so much Time goes so fast, almost too fast sometimes ... An old person walks by you on the street... "One day I'm going to be like that?!" But it doesn't really matter. If you've lived to the fullest, you remember so many happy things ... The memories keep you young.

Some days you wonder if it's worth it all.

You must have a purpose, but what is it?-Somebody somewhere must care, but right now it's so lonely. People seem so shallow. If one person smiles one more fakey smile, you'll kick their teeth in. You have so much to do, but there just isn't enough time. The pressures just keep mounting. If you could only be alone to think, to really get away from everything Your mind is total confusion. Maybe if you kick the wall or something You want to cry out "Somebody help me. I'm so confused!" But society (or is it just you?) stifles your cry, and you go on as if the ache in your heart and the confusion in your mind weren't event.here. You can't help but wonder if it's only you. Why are you always so mixed up? Some days are fine, but sometimes you can get so low. The ache seems like it just won't ever go away

You feel so out of it, but you keep telling yourself "It's no big deal." Then why do you worry so much?

There comes a time when you have to realize who you are.. For a long time , it ' s been okay just to go along with the crowd. But now conflicts have arisen and you find yourself questioning others ' values more and more You have to think about so many things and search for so many answers.

The answers come slowly , in many different ways. Eventually i t all comes to you You rea l ize who you are and what you want from life. You ' re yau , and you ' ve finally come to accept yourse lf.

Like a cobweb mist, beauty becomes a reality, an entwining process of inseparable strands achieving -the realm of self-expres~ion.

Hi Beautif u I!

Sharing yourself with others " here , have a piece of my sky Hey! It's not my sky, but life is so beautiful-I ' ll make it my sky if I want to!"

Today was so great You could feel the excitement in the air, you could taste its freshness WOW! I'm so glad to be alive Everybody, I love you!!

No bells were ringing, no falling stars knocked you out, but suddenly you just knew It's so overwhelming, there are moments of such extreme joy, that it's easy to believe anything is possible!

"How did I live before? I really didn't live, just existed. I must have been empty before you, I have so much now."

The smile& no one else sees the tender words the hands that entwine to send shivers up your spine a sing le rose the Iittle things they all mean so much. There are a million kinds of lovea special kind for each special person. When you were little, words came freely. It was so easy to say "I love you Mommy or Daddy." But you're older ·now, it's as if you're speaking different languages, and the words just won't come. How can you explain to them that just because you disagree on so many things, you don't love them any less? You can only hope they'll understand, and that one day the words will come

We live in a "pressurized, glamorized, capsulized , synthesized, publicized, changing, exciting" world. It's a world that's "confusing, frustrating, frightening, impossible and yet beautiful. "_ Each day it presents challenges on different levels, with an individual, as a

nation, in the universe. Our life is a struggle for a place in this world, for acceptance. On every level we have a conflict to confront, a resolution to achieve. The most important thing to many individuals in their segment of the world was their friends. One girl explained, "People were most important to me this year-gaining friends through activities and losing friends to scheduling. People gave me the most happiness but also the greatest disappointments." Bejng a "real" person was a major concern and most found that the people who accepted them for what they were, were the only friends they needed.

Through personal experiences, people discovered there are many ways to say, "I care. I really care about you." They ask an opinion, listen to an idea, smile with their heart, touch your sou ! -gE:_~tly.

happy to be more involved in the school and seniors, well, seniors went from feeling that "Everything this year has to count because it's our last year and we'll never have another chance," to "Last year I was sad thinking that this year would be the end, but now I'm counting the days until graduation. "

The whole atmosphere of the school changed from previous years. Most people felt it was friendlier, "blissfully free" with no "people pollution." One optimistic soul said, "It felt just like spring, even in the winter." Another commented, "The atmosphere wasn't as wild, and people didn't feel the necessity to act free-wheeling. You could concentrate more on being a real person instead of a phony 'I love everything' type of person."

• Despite the general opinion, however, many were bothered by •the social-mindedness , apathy and cliques they saw. Pres~ure to join clubs for reasons other than genuine interest was absent. General acceptance was apparent as no club was put down for its activities. Lack of organization and members willing to put something out for the club hurt most groups, resulting in widespread dissatisfaction Those who were satisfied with club life noted they only joined the clubs they were willing to work for. Sports, especially hopes for state in basketball, united many Spartans. As judged by individual students, this was the single most important thing to the student body. The ecstasy of victory and the crush of defeat was shared by students, faculty, staff, administration and parents alike, proving to be a powerful force.

Sports was a unifying factor on a statewide level as well as at East when the University of Nebraska football team achieved an undefeated season and the #1 rating in the nation. Fans of the Big Red experienced a lump of pride in their throats when President Nixon presented a plaque proclaiming the team's outstanding accomplishments to Coach Devaney. The weather apparently didn't hold sports in the great esteem Nebraskans di'd when a blizzard prevented the "welcome home" festivities pla~ned for the victorious Cornhuskers after the Orange Bowl game

Students at East expressed . concern beyond the world of self , school and state. The fast-paced world of nation, planet and universe was often frightening when what we faced was war, pollution, exploration of the unknown and never-ending time. T~e need to "do something about it" proved to be a frustrating challenge. •

War grew more ominous as age brought us closer to its reality. " I don ' t want to go; I don't want to die. I may have eighty more years to live, and I don't want it cut short by a bullet," was a common plea. The fact that the ENEMY is composed of other human beings provided many thoughts. One person mused, "When you think of killing on a person-to-person basis, it seems so ridiculous and shattering. "

Pollution and waste of natural resource§ grew to be a la.rger and larger proble~ As one girl stated, "We talk a lot about pollution but do nothing," while another added, "If no one cares ., no one will help."

The blame for problems encountered was most often pinned on our elders. "We knock parents a lot for not caring about things in general," a student commented, "but it really make& me feel bad because most kids aren't any different than their parents."

It's easy to become pessimistic in these surroundings , but good things

just aren ' t discussed as much as the bad , according to an observer who feels that our world is really " the best thing we've got. "

Finding ourselves, finding a place in the world, seeking peace and understanding-this is what we work for. Lincoln East Educational Complex provides the opportunities and the materials to build the foundation we need to make the world a better place to live in Now it's up to us. \

Newly established last fall was the Future Physicians Club, offering an introduction to the techniques, ideas and the wide range of specialized fields found in modern medicine. Activities included tours of local hospitals, guest speakers , medical films, the witnessing of an autopsy and a tour of Dorsey Laboratories.

"T h' here is much more to teac ing than we students observe sitting in a classroom, " noted an FTA member. Future Teachers of America (FTA) helped prospective teachers to see various aspects of the teaching profession. The tradition of observing a teacher for a day was continued and expanded so that members were able to observe teachers on levels other than _ the high school level.

"Roses are red and violets are blue we can't use poetry like this in ·East Winds!" Creative Writing Club worked toward their 1T1ajor goal, the fourth annual publication of East Winds.

Mrs. Shirley Doan, sponsor, felt the purpose of ewe was an opportunity for anyone and everyone to try their abilities at original writing. Originality was the main aspect considered when ewe members studied and selected compositions for East Winds. The world of numbers and specialized symbols held particular fascination for members of Math Radicals. Together, the club studied computer programming and submitted solutions to problems from the ' 'Math Student Journal."

student counci I

"A fantastic amount of potential and very capable people," was a sponsor's description of Student Counci I. Due to a broad crosssection of people and opinions, the council of 1970-71 was an advantageous one.

In spite of this, one basic problem still existed, an adversity which arises for many organizations. The difficulty was accredited to a lack of communication between the student body and the council.

One council member explained it as "Apathy-a miniature society of apathetic people."

The responsibility to find out what went on and what was accomplished by Student Council belonged to the students. To accommodate those who were interested and available, the meeting time was changed to a fourth period open session when anyone was welcome to sit in and listen or give suggestions. Council president Perry Rikli stated that •attendance had improved because of this.

Throughout the year, many achievements of Student Council went right past unknowing students. They sponsored the Folk and Rock Festival, earning over one thousand dollars for the United Fund, sent clothes to Indians in Washington state, achieved optional attendance at assemblies, acquired parts of the Student Responsibility Act throughout the public school system, sponsored Sadie Hawkins and last, but hardly least, attained victory in the long struggle for a student lounge.

In the beginning there was nothing. The frame and foundation of a young Lincoln high school sat on a hillside bristling only with the activity of education. Weary students in need of rest and

when a team consisting of Kim Voss, Perry Rikli and Barb Lien began an investigation of possible sites for a student lounge. Discussion took place, ideas were regarded and discarded, checks

relaxation stared or slept through classes dreaming of a terminated school day.

Monotony set in: history seemed little different from English class. Students, with Mr. Schere, librarian, in the lead, began to question the initial purpose of the library.

Talkative crowds sought out the once-quiet atmosphere during lunch and study halls, and noise grew to intense volumes.

Idle talk made its way from the mouths of many until the year 1970,

were made with the help of the Fire Department and architects and plans were finally submitted to Mr. James Huge, principal. So came about the birth of the student lounge. The Lincoln School Board looked after and reviewed the plan in its period of adolescence. The plan had materialized and the Board became a receptive audience at last. Mr. Huge stated "Although the lounge isn't a necessity, I think it's desirable that students have an area they can feel is their own." The growth of a student lounge was at hand. All systems registered go. Students were aware of the controversy and struggle on behalf of the proposal. Most had given it up as a lost cause since discussion on the topic had been taking place for near ly three years. Student Council had searched for ideas and locations year after year without success.

In January, a school loan was sanctioned by the board and East was given the word to begin • construction. The lounge had matured beyond the planning stage and had become a reality. The beauty of the lounge in 1971 was lts sheer "newness". Knowing that the lounge was not a gift but a merit after a long period of negotiation demanded respect. It seemed a little sad to consider that after a duration of a few years any knowledge of the struggle will be completely erased and forgotten. The lounge will become just another room built into an educational complex.

Looking at Panathenaic Council last fall, some members believed there was great potential for the group as a whole. The "right" people were there to make for a really "fun" organization. And there were fun times. Members enjoyed being with the various personalities involved in PAC. Unusual activities not to be found on the every-day list included Olympic games and the planting of statues bought by last year's Council. Not every organization had an afterChristmas party serving dolmados, seventy-five of which had to be unwrapped and re-made because two eggs were omitted from the recipe!

But the group failed to live up to even its own expectations. One member said, "PAC members are all involved in other activities, so involved that many of them have no time for PAC ."

Panathenaic Council was first begun to acquaint members with Greek culture and to instill the Greek tradition in the student body

The 1970-71 Council, however , acted more as a social organization than as a service club. Most members blamed themselves as a group, recognizing their lack of initiative. Some felt that it was all right to devote enough to the club that they had a good time, but not so much that they became bogged down with it.

And one commented that PAC is a learning experience- learning what people look like at a: oo A.M. !

art club

The cultivation of creativity bounds to astounding heights when potential is left to be carried and swept upward by the open air. This non-restrictive atmosphere existed in Art Club. Freedom was present when preparing items for sale on the mobile Art Cart. The cart offered artistic rings, vests and other items for sale to all students. The annual art show was sponsored by Art Club during Panathanaic Week. Window-painting and bake sales served as other money-making projects to finance club travels.

Early in the year, the group sand-casted in Louisville and a trip to Denver was scheduled in spring. Parties, sledding and skating also occupied club time.

debate

A case of the jitters, a quick, desperate ' prayer and a last minute overall glance at the notes was accomplished before our eyes locked and we began.

"Resolved: that the Federal government should establish, finance and administer programs to control air and/or water pollution in the United States."

We tried hard to qe unsarcastic while debating, but it was too easy to become so. We frequently looked at the judges since the final results depended on their opinions, even though the best man did not always win.

Finally our debate ended, and we formally shook hands, complimenting each other, "Good debate. Good job." Now we had to suffer through the rest of the tournament before we could learn who had won.

The decision of a victory or a loss

came from a cumulation of points. Points were also the concern of a debator when joining the National Forensic League, a nation-wide debate organization. Twenty-five points were required to become a member of the NFL.

Whether we won or lost, Mrs. Linda Freeman, debate coach, was happy. "Debate involves a lot of skill, but when it comes down to it, being lucky helps."

chess club

Before the awesome election, many nominated candidates for president have second thoughts about the active participation and enthusiasm of their club after the leadership commitment has been established.

Club activities are designed, however , to be rewarding for those who involve themselves and combine their talents with those sharing similar interests. The question club presidents are faced with, then:

"What is it that makes a club continue to function successfully with ample co-operation?"

Chess Club is unbothered by low attendance. Perhaps the informal "meetings" without the usual business procedures accounts for its popularity. Bill Smith, president, mentioned that eight to twelve members usually appear for the daily 8 o'clock morning meetings " with a surprising amount of consistency."

Besides providing an opportunity for challenging chess games, the club played four matches with each of the capital city schools throughout the year, climaxed with the state championship February 27 at the Nebraska Union.

international club

Finding that people really are the same throughout the world behind the guises of language, costumes and outward appearance was the adventure of International Club members as they shared time and experiences with people from many parts of the world.

International Club ' s main purpose was that of a service organization to raise m~9ney for the AF$ program. King's Food Host ticket sales, Mums Day, the AFS carnival and the timehonored bake sales provided funds for AFS and also the means by which to continue supporting an orphan in Taiwan. One member felt that better leadership and publicity could have resulted in more profit for their projects.

Included in lntern~tional Club's function was broadening the knowledge of foreign countries. The Christmas party with Lincoln High's equivalent to lnternational Club fell into this category, acquainting participants with some unfamiliar international foods and allowing time for a worthwhile exchange of intelligent ideas. A member expressed the desire to have more members who were willing to work because "we could do more if more kids were really willing to help."

• smgers swing choir

Love is the ingredient needed to trar:isform an ordinary thing into something special. This is why East Singers was great.

A common love for singing and for each other truly united the ninety-two people involved. Friendship and pride in the group smoothed the way after a rough

beginning with Little Mary Sunshine, resulting in tremendous experiences whether in the fifth period class, onstage or singing in other situations.

Warm voices made their way past numb lips when the group went Christmas carolling, colorful signs proclaiming Singers' greatness papered the wal Is of 0-143 at the city-wide concert of all select choirs and a very special trip to perform at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, occurred April 15.

Combining choreography with voice, Swing Choir entertained

throughout the city as ell as across the state. The close-knit group • performed sets of music each containing tour or five songs for diversified audiences of $OCial, civic, . and business organizations.

Although Swing Choir is considered a performing public relations group, their appearance was not limited to singing engagements. Upon careful observation one could take note of fourteen "Purple People Eaters" romping in the park, having a snowball fight, or devouring mounds of Mister Donuts.

As they tore down the sets for "Little Mary Sunshine," I realized it was all over. What I had put so much into was coming down as fast as it had been put up. But what had been built inside of me could never be destroyed or even touched.

The curtain fell but our spirits didn't. There was make-up to peel off and parties to go to. The parents of the cast really outdid themselves with the party in the cafeteria; red and white checkered tablecloths, gobs of pizza, coke and cookies and music blaring and then we had

our own party. We made up lines that would have gone over better and talk ed about all the things that went wrong. There was too much to remember and too much to forget my lines, costumes, sets, waiting, laughing, the tears and the flowers al I mingled as a feeling I can still hear, "You've got to hand it to Little Mary Sunshine," echoing in my ears. I didn't want it to ever end wish I'd kept a diary

the day the cast was announced. My name seemed to stand off the sheet on Mr. Peterson's door. I just couldn't believe it, I was in! I learned to study fast. Twisted like a pretzel, I huddled in the corner of the auditorium trying to memorize just enough to pull me through class the next day that lasted seven weeks. I was too excited to be exhausted. Time pressed nearer to performance night. I was ready and yet I wasn't. Show night was like rehearsals only no second tries. I had an audience to please in addition to myself and Mr. Peterson The audiences of all three nights reacted differently. Opening night was mainly adults who thought we'd be embarrassed if they laughed. It was supposed to be funny. I overheard a lady tell someone they shouldn't have laughed at Randy for tripping that

I knew your story, as did most everyoneit was not that which fascinated me-

but the creation of a microcosm enveloped by sticks and concrete and empty bleachers which would insulate your house and finally desert you.

And you were alive with personality and subject to its conflict. Often you grew weary and impatient and you possessed a short temper, but you would scrutinize your work and only strive further, for you are proud and easily embarrassed. And I came, with those other's who were curious or critical or anxious to be entertained You opened your doors in the most aristocratic of manners capturing my intrigue allowing me, persuading me to be swallowed by an Infernal Machine.

Special evenings like this only come along two or three times every year.

It is all these small things that leave the greatest impression

Maybe you had your hair up when you went to pick up the boutonniere and suddenly your date walked into the same florist shop to get your corsage, or you finished making your dress 30 minutes before you were supposed to leave.

Maybe your date made your dinner, and it was even good! Perhaps you were among the' first to sample the cookies, or maybe you were the one who pushed the candles into the middle of the pond to see if they would really float.

He replied rather nonchalantly, "Yeah, I guess so._" Attempting to recover quickly, I hastily removed • my chin from the floor, wiping away the traces of astonishment. Sadie, which rose from the comic strip by Al Capp, has become a popular excuse for many high school and college girls to "ketch demselves a man," following the traditional but unique customs of the folk in Dogpatch, Kentucky. I jolted to an abrupt stop by the curb at HIS house feeling a little like Custer at the Little Big Horn; but I resolutely pulled myself together and trudged to the door of HIS house. HE opened it. Relieving some of the tension, he spoke a hearty "Howdy, y'all." I was floored. We haphazardly downed a meal of fried chicken and moved on to the dance where we burst into the room full of hesitant couples in eager anticipation. We bravely set out to find our flower among the brightly colored paper fields on the walls. Standing alone to one side was an object that demanded immediate attention. My eyes focused upon the most picturesque "necessity" I'd ever seen -the outhouse. I stifled a giggle and as I turned I realized that dear old Mammy Yokum was smiling a toothless grin from her stance on the window. Sensing the vibrations from the "Elysian Fields," couples began to do "some real footstompin' in hillbilly fashion." Circles were formed and shoes were shed, providing a "right homey atmosphere for barn dancin'." Stumbling, shuffling, and rapidly repeating names of various couples, "we all showed dem who we wanted fer de royal folks." After a brief moment, (which must have seemed like eons to the candidates)

courtyard, the menfolks swapped tall tales and the womenfolks traded their favorite recipes for ole goodies like Pickled 'Possum and Stewed Tomatoes. Later, we all went our own separate ways, never to forget the 1971 Sadie Hawkins Dance. In an attempt to differentiate and itemize the contrasting ages of East students, the third annual Senior Ball occurred January 29.

Establishing a close-knit relationship and intending to attract interested seniors, the dance featured spiked punch while "The Collections" warmed up.

Like the old gray mare, school affiliated dances just aren't what • they used to be. Senior Ball participants indulged in the eloquence distinctive to the Hotel Lincoln and its second floor surroundings without the aid of

A few action-seekers drift about the city in vehicles with no apparent destination in mind. Other small groups seek recreation by rushing about in a mad frenzie wrapping the trees and shrubbery of unsuspecting individuals in toilet tissue " Get that one over there. " An arm extends upward.

Spirit is that much-desired, intangible_quality that invades the souls of most high school students at some time during their three year stay at a school. It includes enthusiasm, sportsmanship and school pride. Spirit Week 1970 was devoted to

cut-throat competition, surprises make spirit week

spreading spirit and launching winter sports. The week included a heavy schedule of games and meets Three basketball games, two swim meets and two wrestling meets received enthusiastic support inspired by the atmosphere of the week.

To honor athletes, senior Nikians brought small gifts to each one. Christmas stockings, Screaming Yellow Zonkers and decorated oranges found their way into the hands of the ~ometimes eager, sometimes embarrassed athletes. The competitive spirit between classes was high, often positively cut-throat. Competition began with class skits at the Monday pep rally. Seniors were victorious with their "Twas the Night Before Victory" skit. Tuesday saw more individualized competition in the Key Club 500. The drivers raced their modified trikes around the halls in an exciting display of skill and daring. The winner was recipient of the 1000 penny award

The final stage of spirit competition was completed at the end of the week with the judging of class halls. Judges found they had a difficult decision to make when they saw the • colorful, imaginatively-decorated halls. After much deliberation, freshmen were named champs with their "Do It to Win" theme. Tension was great at the Friday pep rally where the trophy was to be presented for the " most spirited spirit of all." Anxious moments and hopes were climaxed when the marble trophy was given to the senior class.

"dickerscheid will never live this one down!"

Freshmen, using the theme "Flatten 'Em Out" portray

proves they're champs not only in competition, but in spontaneity and cleverness.

following a "Wizard of Oz" theme, the sophomore skit depicts how the good Spartans of the East wi 11 overcome the "Rockets and Links and Knights and Bolts. Oh my!"

Stu dents for Radical Change- a club only because club status was necessary in order to operate within the school. Therewere no officers, no definite membership, no dues, but there were a few obvious leaders.

Early in the year, the club sponsored after-school speakers, commonly mislabelled the "free high school". This was discontinued because of the small amount of active interest shown. SAC, East's "underground press", provide d a means for expression and communication concerning controversial issues and was open to anyone who submitted material. Leaders in the group felt that the paper was a means of reinforcement for those with views similar to ones expressed, and that "ultimately, it would be nice to convince somebody!"

prunes

Clubs come into existence for varied reasons. Most desire to place organized emphasis on the development of a specific cause. Others, admittedly in the minority, tak~ pride in being exactly the opposite. Such are the Prunes.

The chartered club came about as an extension of an intramural team, but the officiality of a club-:like existence was abolished There were no officers, very few meetings, and the entire purpose behind the Prunes was flexible

Opinions varied when discussion turned to the Prunes. Some saw it as only a "farce" or a "satirical representation of the club establishment, " while others thought it had a serious message.

Three returning members a new adviser inexperienced photographers ... defending Class A yearbook champions potential interference during a continuous attempt to record a yearful of

publication of a yearbook.

Kris Baack, co-editor, commented, "There seemed to have been more problems than solutions ." Her coeditor, Cheryl Holmes added, "I now have a definition of a problem-

intricate elements complicate learning experience

'70-71 memories.

EPIC members discovered not all surprises entail happiness. The difference between a wrapped package and forever lost negatives is intelligible.

As in all human experiences, individual situations alter the correlation between surprises and happiness. The word "SURPRISE" lost its ecstatic connotative meaning and was replaced by journalistic skepticism.

While professional journalists reported pollution, demonstrations and the Vietnam war dead, EPIC members struggled against the intricate elements involved in the

something unforeseen-an unexpected obstacle in the way of a perfect product, marring an image or predetermined goal."

The theme RESOLUTION, (all "good" yearbooks must have a theme) served as incentive to resolve non-ending conflicts. Attempting to create a superior finished product, the staff strove to construct a popular book for students.

Pressure applied by the Nebraska High School Press "Association was ignored when it was announced last year's EPIC was recipient of the first place Class A yearbook in the state for the second consecutive year.

The journalism room came to be a second home to Oracle staff members as they spent hours of study hall time and chaotic everyother-Monday-nights putting together the newspaper there.

thought-filled hours, new ideas contribute to oracle

Striving to win the first place rating in the state was a goal, but reporters were also aware of the need to write for the student body, covering what they, rather than the critics, wanted to read. The type of Oracle to be produced was often under consideration. Staff members were divided about using a magazine style with more feature stories as opposed to more coverage of school news. Experimentation resulted in magazinestyle covers and new kinds of page layouts. One staff member commented, "With all the varied opinions, we somehow managed to bring it all together every other week. Seeing ideas an~ copy and watching the whole process happen - it amazes me how we did it."

"i bet clarion members don't have t-shirts!"

As hectic as deadline nights always were, the staff found them more tolerable by breaking away from the straight-laced deadline. Quick excursions to D.Q. or Lum's helped lighten the atmosphere, and the appearance of Oracle T-shirts aided in unifying the staff.

dollfins

From the opening grand march to the closing of the two-ring spectacle and the forming of an aquatic LE, Dollfins brought "The Greatest Show in Water" to a recordbreaking audience.

Cheryl Holmes and Bob Kraft, emcees, portrayed a typical mother and her young son at the circus. They kept up a lively dialogue between acts which included "Muscle Men vs. Dainty Women," the boy-girl act, "Clowns on Three Wheels" and Wendy Rosenstock's solo, "Impressions."

Weeks of preparation and nailbiting preceded the show. Many girls were in the pool for a seventh period swimming class, after school from 3:30 to 4:30 and again from 6:45 to 10 P.M. each night. Blankets, sweat suits, mountains of towels and grocery sacks of food provided some consolation to weary members between practices of their acts. Some of the "minor details" to be overcome were lost music, late tickets and programs, last-minute costumes and confusion regarding the recording of music. But many extra hours of working and praying finally brought the colorful portrayal of a circus to the most responsive of audiences.

Pep Club presented flowers for good luck during the hectic moments before the show, and bouquets were given to the o"fficers in the joyous minutes after the show when Dollfin members looked forward to next year, trying to think of a new theme.

east guard

"1 :49.4, 1 :49.5, 1 :49.6, Stop. Hey, we won! Way to go you guys, that was great!" These were familiar cries of the female members of East Guard who timed swimmers and kept records for swim meets and some practices. All members raised money through a caramel apple sale in the fall. Besides making close to three hundred caramel apples, they managed to make quite a mess the day before the sale, according to an involved member. The project provided a lot of fun and the means to purchase new equipment for the swim team.

Other services which gave a different sort of satisfaction were carried out, too. Continuing from previous years was the program at Nebraska Wesleyan to teach retarded children how to swim. Also following established tradition was the spring water show.

girls .swim club

"City Champs" is a title tha t belongs not only to certain boys ' teams; a group of Spartan females , the girls' competitive swimming team, also claims the glory The 22 sophomore and junior girls who signed up for the team participated in dual meets against Southeast and Lincoln High and in an All-City meet with these two schools

After a win against Southeast and defeat to Lincoln High in the dual meets, the Spartan swimmers were victorious in the city meet , which was the first of its kind. Team coaches, Mrs. Bonnie Hahn and Miss Debbie Wightman, were especially pleased with the individual effort, enthusiasm and team spirit shown.

Before the team's beginning, some girls had felt excluded from competitive athletic events. According to Miss Wightman, this was the first year that the city had allotted any money for a girls' city program. East's city title-holders are anticipating another successful season next year.

girls gymnastics

W illingness to devote time and practice once or twice a week for months was necessary for membership in the Girls' Gymnastics Club. Also necessary was good body cont ro l and "knowing where your limbs we r e.''

Routines in the four Olympic

areas-the horse, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise plus the trampoline and tumbling were determining factors for membership.

Only dual meets with inter-city schools were allowed. Plans were made for competition with schools all over the state, comparable to boy ' s sports schedules.

There is a basic difference, though, between girl's and boy's gymnastics. Flexibility and grace

were emphasized in girl's activities. A show of strength was depreciated. Meets began in the middle of January and ended with the -city meet the last week in February .

Miss French, club sponsor and coach, expressed the objectives of the club as "the development of a sense of pride in self and personal poise."

O.J. and donuts, posters and beads , Hamlet and Charlie Brown were supplied by DECA. These items could be purchased from the Breakfast Cart , Boutique and Bookstore, which were DECA projects to raise money for members to attend meetings and conferences.

Sue Huggins was East ' s representative at the state conference held in Lincoln in March St. Louis was the site of the regional conference in November and the national conference was in San Antonio , Texas.

The local activities included a field trip to Omaha, a weekend retreat to Camp Kitaki, and assistance in the operation of Goodwill stores

busi.ness club

Equal rights had seemed closer than ever before. The door to equal pay and equal opportunities were slowly being pryed open. Due to women's sufferage, the world was awakened to the fact that women had been passed by in areas men had previous~y controlled.

If the East High Business Club was any indication, tomorrow's business field will be strongly influenced by -the female. Membership was made up entirely of senior, junior and sophomore girls.

The purpose of the club was "imporant not only to people entering business but to anyone desiring success in his chosen field," agreed club officers.

Secretarial positions were stressed most often by guest speakers, but beautfcians, accountants and lawyers were also guests at the early morning meetings.

Field trips to the new First National Bank, the City-County building and the court gave members a view of management not otherwise seen.

Most indicative of the sign of the times was the woman's struggle to earn a place in a business world previously restricted by sex.

key club

Taking an "optimistic" viewpoint of the controversial movie They Shoot Horses Don't They?, Key • Club named the theme of their 1971 Spartan Spectacular "They Shoot Students Don't They?" Half the show's proceeds were donated to the student lounge fund in hopes that enough students would be left "unshot" to benefit from it.

Key Club is the largest international high school service organization in existence. Fulfilling their responsibility as a service club, members cleaned up tree limbs after the October 9 snowstorm, participated in the Fun for the Retarded and rang bells at Christmas for the Salvation Army.

"If you really want to do something for East High, just suggest it, and Key Club can do it as a group," one member related.

Most members found inspiration in serving school and community and in knowing the same type of things were being done internationally. Unlike most service clubs at East High, however, they didn't raise money by holding bake sales, because as another member explained, "None of us can bake!"

stage band orchestra

Turning more to student compositions and arrangements, East's Stage Band performed a wider variety of musical styles than ever before. Even at 7:00 A.M. , most of the music\ians gathered with enthusiasm and were motivated to work because of the relatively small size of the group. One boy explained , " Everything you play is a solo because you're the only one in that part."

Another member commented, " We are one of THE high school bands in the state, " and that the group had played many kinds of engagements.

"M ore of our orct,estra members are playing their instruments in out-of-school activities, therefore they have shown better technique and have been able to play a

higher caliber of literature ," according to Mr. Richard Kucera , director. • Working w,ith different musical concepts and experimenting with various group sizes never -ceased •to challenge the orchestra, and one member said , " Like everything else worthwh ile, it's a lot of work! "

pep band majorettes

Having official shirts helped the 1970-71 Pep Band look more like a performing group instead of just a part of the audience. Drum majors frequently received the opportunity to direct as the band played its variety of new pieces.

Members enjoyed promoting school spirit through playing the school song, especially at "big games", while "Stripper" remained an all-around favorite.

A satisfied outlook existed within the band. One boy commented, "It's more fun to go to games with a big group like this than with just a few friends," but some felt that there was more concern for having a good time than for giving a good performance and that too many didn't have enough pride in the group.

"A11 of a sudden I realized this was the last time some of us would ever twirl. "

And somehow all those hours devoted to "working our tails off" preparing half-time performances .were worth every effort. There was a good feeling in giving a good show and hearing peoples' cheers.

"A common interest in twirling brought us together and we found we did more and more together as • the year went on. We trust each other-we're real friends:"

"Whenever one of us had a birthday,_ there was sure to be some kind of surprise!"

" . .. and I had to cry just because of all the great memories , and because tonight was the last time we'd twirl together."

eclub

Ready with a retort to the rival letterman club when they expressed opinions such as, "God made the hills. God made the lakes. God made East High. Well, we all make mistakes!", the members of E CLUB relished practising their addition of spirit at basketball games. With cooperation from the team, they were not pressured into creating original exchanges as they continued the use of the traditional "Watermelon" verse. Cross-fire retaliation represented attempts designed by both sides to provoke, humorize, entertain, and frustrate the opposing supporters When offensive ideas were expressed by the foe, they found themselves regarding the back sides of E CLUB members. Aside from their main contribution, lettermen offered their services for the necessary duties involved in the promotion of the athlete and athletics. Programs were peddled, ropes held, money donated for the lounge, and banquets sponsored Contributing to individual pride and harmonious team success, the club purchased a plaque to record all city championships. President Jon Miller reported primary steps had been taken to carpet the weight room and to hang pennants in the gym representing teams in the Trans-Nebraska conference.

A shocking but extremely welcome awakening at 1 A.M. announced the new Spartan cheerleaders to their families, neighbors and each other, if not to the whole world. There was barely enough time to grab clothes for school the next day before

being hurried into packed cars and whisked off on a night of adventure.-

A wide array of hair equipment and sleeping apparel was displayed to anyone who happened to be travelling along "O" Street at 2 A.M. when the sixteen greenhorns

performed cheers on the island in front of East High's Kings. From there they moved on to the Antelope Park bridge to redecorate it with their names in blue. The final stages of "initiation" were carried out at Mary Copple ' s cabin

cheerleade rs promote year of the 'spartan champs'

at Capital Beach. A sleepless night of excited conversation preceded a heavy-eyed Monday.

The nervousness of tryouts stayed with the new cheerleaders for the remainder of the school year as they prepared for the National Cheerleader Association's summer clinic at Nebraska Wesleyan. A week filled with drills, lectures on crowd psychology and competition resulted in confidence in their ability as cheerleaders. Both the reserve and varsity squads brought home many blue ribbons, and the varsity cheerleaders were in final -competition for the coveted Coca-Cola award.

Summer was filled with daily practices, buying uniforms and raising money in preparation for the year. By se r ving as hostesses at the grand opening of Meginnis Ford and holding a car wash and a garage sale, they earned nearly three hundred dollars. It seemed like an enormous amount until the season started and house signs, gifts and many other items started eating up the funds.

The happy hours of summer were interrupted when Jody Wheeless moved to Iowa, reducing the varsity ranks to ten.

"spartan champs"

Long practices in August were devoted to preparing for the Shrine Bowl parade and football game. It was a curious circumstance that the first time some of the cheerleaders were ever in Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, they were leading cheers. The morning parade proved to be frustrating and somewhat comical when the days spent practicing a marching routine were of little use as the band to which the cheerleaders were assigned played a song impossible to follow.

And then the school year began, the year of the "Spartan Champs." The responsib!lity of rallies and sports events was upon them. New cheers and chants were taught to Nikians. The "cheer of the year" had to be "Rockets, Are You Ready?" The crowd relished yelling the words to the opponents preceding basketball games. The cheer was saved for winter sports to increase its effectiveness being in an enclosed area.

Reserve cheerleaders suffered memorable experiences while delivering house signs. They navigated muddy country roads, lost a transmission and broke a windshield. But they felt amply rewarded when team members became well-known friends and when they were crowned "C.C.C." Quite successful teams made the year exciting for the cheerleaders as well as for the audiences and the teams themselves. Games and meets were often very close which resulted in intense tension. One cheerleader remarked while biting her nails, "I just can't take so many close ones in a row. I know I' II have a heart attack before the year is over! "

spirit isn't a thing to be defined-it's just there when you need it.

Even in artwork contestants were completely naked because of how highly the Greeks valued the whole body.

department around. It seems only fitting that we follow the example set by our ancient forebears, that of striving for excellence in all we do. And our Greek tradition wouldn't be complete unless we strove toward the athletic excellence they pioneered. In order to do this, we must set our sights on going swifter, higher and being stronger , the official Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius.

We at East have had the opportunity to share in the joys and tears of four years of athletic development. Can you remember the time when a loss was customary and wins were few and far between?

That was the beginning of what was to be called three years later, an Athletic Dynasty. And who could argue the fact? Many of last year ' s Spartan teams were composed of three-year varsity candidates, an

achievement not to be ignored. In most areas, East definitely commanded respect, because of its percentage of returning lettermen. We had even acquired a state champion in wrestling and a

dynasty continues as winter sports sweep city titles

conference championship from the swimmers in a previous year. Yes, the· third year was thought of as the charm, and it didn't let anyone down.

Sporting a healthy record with three city titles and three conference trophies, last year East was the proud recipient of a state championship. But as it drew to a close, thoughts were turned to this year. With many teams almost vacated by graduation, how far could we improve? With the advent of fall, came four sports. Of these only cross country had enoug.h experienced members to form a team, and although all teams posted a winning record, the cross country team was the only one to top previous performances.

-·

But fall was no indication of things to come. If people think rivalry between schools is tough, they've never experienced interschool rivalry. By mid-January, the cagers, grapplers, and tankers were all vying for honors as top sport at East. The cagers had a number one rating to support their claim, while the others were un defeated in dual competition. Then the three teams did a dominoes act. With the basketball team already sporting one loss from the beginning ot the season, the wrestlers soon followed and were joined by the swimmers in February.

The tankers however, picked up a city title late in January only to be followed several weeks later by the

mat men, who were in turn followed by the cagers with their back-to-back victories over city teams. And if varsity competition wasn't enough, the Taco intramural basketball team went the distance undefeated only to lose their final City Championship game. By the end however, only the wrestlers failed to better their previous year in which they had won everything in sight , an

achievement difficult to improve on. Now at the end of the year, we begin to think of next year and wonder how much we can improve. When will we reach that pinnacle of success, the ultimate of performances? The answer lies in the dedication and determination of the heirs to East's ATHLETIC DYNASTY, for although dynasties are easily established, they are rarely maintained.

"It's a large step from reserve to varsity." This became apparent as last year's reserve football team , East's first team able to boast an undefeated season, took over the varsity positions abandoned by 1970 graduation. Although reserve football is a vital step in the molding of a football team, nothing can simulate varsity experience. "Inexperience hurt us," reflected head coach Lee Zentic. "It came down to evaluating our personnel; as soon as we found out where each man could play best, we were real tough to beat. The trouble is that it took - us half the season."

Even if it took half the season to evaluate the personnel and gain experience, East was never out of

spartan's seesaw season ends with victory streak

any contest. The only three games lost all season were decided by a single touchdown, and East was pressing in the final seconds of all three. The wild-scoring GI game was up in the air until the end. East held a slim 28-27 advantage when GI broke away for a 50 yard run followed by a two point conversion which assured them the 28-35 win In the NE game, East was leading · 7-6 in the fourth quarter when NE plowed 96 yards for a TD making it 7-12 with 1 :07 to go.

Scott Copple, junior, banKmg on his 50% completion average, threw 73 yards toward a score before a penalty and two incompletions killed the attempt.

Lincoln High, the Homecoming game, was another heartbreak. By the closing seconds of the game, neither team had been able to put it together long enough to light up their side of the scoreboard. The Links had the ball in East territory when Ken Adkins caught a pass behind East's secondary. They scored, ousting the Spartans, 6-0.

Having lost three out of four games would have dampened many teams' spirit but the Lincoln High loss served as a turning point for the season.

Having run away from Hastings 28-6 early in the season, East now traveled to Beatrice despite an unseasonal October 9 snowstorm. Here they capped another big win, 20-6, highlighted by an 85 yard kickoff return by senior Randy Dennis.

Columbus fell 16-6, and East was now preparing for the high point of the season. SE was ranked second in the state, pressing for first, while the Spartans weren't even contenders for the ranking ... yet.

SE struck first with a 56 yard sweep to paydirt which forced East to play catch-up. It took the rest of the first half, but East did catch up. With less than 18 seconds to go in the half, senior Kent Reckewey snared a pass from Copple for six

points; Jon Miller, senior, put up the seventh, and the cross-town rivals were tied going to the locker room.

SE drew first blood again in the , third quarter with a 26 yard pass, but East came back in the fourth and were on the SE 18 yard line only to lose the ball on downs. However, two plays later, senior Ron Schlegelmilch intercepted a pass, his second of the night, and ran it back to the 25. Copple passed to the nine and senior Brian Foote took it in from there.

With Copple holding, Miller prepared to kick, but on the snap

Copple rolled right, threw left, and found Gene Smith, junior, alone in the endzone for the two points and the 15 - 14 lead.

It took two strong defensive series to hold the Knights for 5:53 until the close of the game.

The win boosted East in the ratings, and they had two weeks to prepare for the season finale against Pius.

Playing give-and-take football, East scored just before the half. When a drive bogged down late in the third quarter, Coach Zentic sent in kicking specialist, Jon Miller. From 22 yards out , Miller set a school record , splitting the uprights, for the first field goal in Spartan history. East again scored following an interception by Jim Neal. This put it out of reach for the Bolts who finally tallied with less than two minutes to go in the game.

And then the season was over. To many, the end seemed unreal. After three years of the work and sweat, football was a thing of the past. Others looked forward to next year. The team resembled a snowball rolling down a mountain. At the start it was slow, but it kept growing and gaining momentum until at the end it had so much going for it, it was hard to stop. Senior halfback Kent Reckewey skirts the end for long yardage during the Hastings route. Reckewey was the leading ground gainer with a season total of 464 yards.

Coach Eyth's team started a tradition two years ago when they took the city title with a record of 7-1. Last year the reserves came through again with a record of. 7-0-1. This year the "33 guys and

capital city champs - catastrophe for al I cha Ilengers

two coaches that wanted to win," as stated by one of the reserve players, pushed through again with the best season ever for an East High football team-the undefeated and untied record of 7-0.

The players said one of the main factors for their great record was the coaching staff , led by Coach Bob Eyth. As sophomore Tom Bothwell stated, "He motivates you; you really want to play for him."

In turn, Coach Eyth attributed the success of their season to 100% effort on the team's part.

The coaches established three goals for the team and the season: 1) to go undefeated; 2) to win the city title and 3) to carry on the tradition-to live up to the right to be called "C.C.C.," Capital City Champions.

The season got off to a good start when the J.V.'s crushed Grand

Island 35-13. Pius went down next, 21-6. The reserves smashed Beatrice, estab lishing a new rushing record of 558 yards, winning 30-12. They came from behind in their next two games, beating Southeast 20-13 and Fremont 14-7. The City Championship was at stake when East rolled over Northeast 27-6. The "C.C.C.'s" again proved themselves in their final game, beating Lincoln High 20-2.

Three men gone to varsity ... another six to reserves three more key losses to injuries The loss of a dozen first string players , and the sophomores were sti II able to finish the season with a tie for the City Championship .

One of the toughest games of the season was against Southeast, during which the sophomores lost their first string quarterback on the second play from scrimmage. When Southeast then scored ·13 points, things looked grim for the sophomore crew. Five .seconds before halftime , East did score to make it 13-7.

Tt,e tension reached its peak as East recovered a fumble that put them in reach of the score. The sophomores rammed in for the last TD and the win.

The sophomores, with the record of 3-0 in city competition, were left to prove themselves against North-

so phomores: . ateam that deserved to be champions

east, a team unbeaten for three seasons. Coach Stoehr labeled the game as the "Sophomore Super Bowl."

Bad weather and a sloppy field put pressure on the defense as both teams held to the end with the score

0-0. The season was over , and both teams shared the title of "City Champions. "

Tension and pressure can affect his performance drastically. As adrenalin begins flowing, he may get a surge of strength which can lead to too much momentum and disaster. During the excitement of the State meet, a gymnast on the high bar who had built up too much momentum, lost his grip and landed on his face.

The muscle gymnast performs on the rings, parallel bars and horizontal bar. He primarily uses stationary moves that require great strength but also utilizes swing moves to some degree.

handful of determined sophomores developed into one of the finest teams East has ever had. After frequent summer workouts, junior Doug Mcleese, the number three player last year, took over the number one position. He was followed by juniors Marty Ward and Tim Sheahan who teamed up to become East ' s doubles combination. These three plus sophomores Craig Pohlman and John Crancer, who held the fourth and fifth positions respectively, achieved a 7-4 season record.

Under the direction of Coach Bill North, East's doubles team went to the finals in both the TransNebraska meet where they tied for first and the State meet where the team finished in a tie for fourth.

No one knows about a sport better than those who participate in it. Most people only know competition as spectators , from the outside looking in. But the athlete's view is from the inside looking out. It is knowing the fine points of his particular sport that no one else cares about. What you are about to read is an attempt to understand a sport from the inside out. A sport that many people take for granted: Cross Country. Question: Cross Country is a sport with no glory, just guts. Why do you run?

Kent: I guess it can be summed up by camaraderie. We're all good friends and we like to do things together. Most of us have been running together for three years.

Q: Why d i d you go out in the first place?

ing you really tried and did your best.

Q: Isn't it boring just running along?

Jim: Boring? Why you see such great scenery; trees, grass, rocks.

Kent: Your mind's too busy to get bored.

Q: What do you think about when you run?

Kent: You breathe to a tune. You hear a tune during the day and it sticks in your mind when you run.

Jim: I'll never forget the day in band we had an alternating 5/a- 7/a measure. I just about went crazy that night.

Q: I know you don't get much of a spectator turnout. Does that bother you?

Kent: Well, at the City meet, here at East, there were pep clubbers from every school except East. Here we are at our own school and no cheering section.

camaraderie, tunes and hills fill harrier season

Kent: I used to be good in the 600 yard run.

Tom: I wasn't big enough to play football , but I still wanted to compete in something.

Q: What do you gain from running?

Jim: A magnificent cardiovascular system.

Doug: Personal satisfaction, know-

Q: Then it does bother you?

Kent: No, not really, I suppose. I wouldn't want to watch some guys run for 10 minutes if I didn't have to.

Bill: Even though the pep club wasn ' t there, the majorettes always were.

Jim: We don't care if people come or not. At the State Meet, Tom

Graham and Steve Shanyfelt (CC team ' 69) came and that made us feel real . good 'cause these guys know whaf you're going through. We'd rather have two guys like that than 100 pep club girls. Most people don't realize how dangerous cross country is. When you've got 80 guys running through two trees, six feet apart, someone's going to • get it. I al most got crushed at Pioneers.

Bill: Remember the kid who got spiked at Pioneers? It took six stitches to close his leg. Boy, if you fall down you ' re dead!

Q: How did the year turn out?

Kent: It went about like we thought it would.

Jim: We figured we'd get second or fifth in the State because of the three western high schools. They were so close together either we'd beat 'em or they'd all beat us.

Bill: We owe an awful lot to Coach McConnell. He really worked us into a good team.

Kent: Each year he has a thing that he thinks will make us run better. This year it was hills. Every time we'd see a hill we had to run up it as fast as possible. He runs with us and he'd always lead us up the hill.

Jim: We knew it hurt him because

it was killing us but he did it all year.

Doug: and right now he's out there running. The season's over but he keeps on running.

Kent: Those hills really helped us. We passed more teams on hills than anywhere else. They'd be ahead of us, but as soon as we got to a hill we'd run right by them :

Jim: We also owe it to McConnell for making us peak right. We all had our best times of the year at State. ·

Q: Were you pleased with your performance at State?

Kent: We would have liked to have won, but we didn't do bad. Like we

said, we finished about where we thou ght we would.

Jim: One thing people don't realize is that we finished fifth out of 12 teams at State, but those 12 represent 32 teams across the state.

Doug: And Kent's sixth place, Bill's 11th place, or even Jim, Chip, and Kirk's 33, 34, and 35th individual finishes represent sixth, 11th, or whatever out of over 1,000 runners.

Jim: A fifth place doesn't sound too good, but out of 32 teams it's not bad at all and sixth out of 1,000 is darn good.

Bill: It's awful deceptive. Also our meet record doesn't show one

thing. We finished with a lot of seconds and thirds, but Northeast ran in all but one of our meets and that takes away a first place right there when you realize they had the first and second man at State.

Kent: By the way, we finished second in the district meet, right behind Northeast, and that was the first trophy won by a cross country team at East.

Q: An awful lot of seniors held top spots this year. What can you say about next year's team?

Kent: God help them.

During the joy, excitement and pandemonium of a State Basketball championship, regular season highljghts are all but forgotten-and why not? "Those games against Kearney and Tech didn't have anything to do with the victory over Papillion." Well, according to the cagers you ' re dead wrong. During the pre-Christmas schedule the team compiled a 4-1 record, suffering a lone setback to Lincoln

High. Then early in January, the Spartans went on the road for two days straight. They first travelled to Kearney, where they stomped the Bearcats 75-63, and next to Omaha where they faced a strong Tech team. Tech destroyed a twelve point Spartan lead in the fourth quarter to send the struggle into overtime, but during the next two minutes, East mustered one surplus basket and thus saved the win 78-76.

"If we could beat Tech on their court, we could beat anybody," reflected Steve Joekel. This was the turning point in the season because it provided the team with the will to win. It proved that they could win if they really wanted to win.

The daily papers agreed as they gave East the number one rating in the state. With this rating as added incentive, East plowed

east is number one . - city, district, conference, state

through Beatrice and North Platte on to their first encounter with the annual foe, Northeast. The defending State Champs were subdued 77-65. The top rating was unavoidably lost the next weekend when number two ranked Columbus downed East 66-62 in the second overtime game of the season.

Most people hated to see the Spartans drop from first, but Kent Reckewey reasoned differently. "When you're on top all you can do is defend yourself. It gave us something new to shoot for."

As if echoing his own words, Reckewey set out the next week on a crusade to rewrite all basketball records. Shoot he did, resetting his own school scoring record at 38 points against Southeast and again adding eight to that, when he totalled 46 points to pull East over Hastings. This wasn ' t the end,· however, for later Reckewey would surpass the State scoring records in all four categories, most free shots per game, most points per game, most field goals per game and most points in tournament play. Although the regular season was full of close games, the five postseason games were the most crucial. Of those, four were decided by five points or less. The Lincoln district is one of the most talented districts in the state, according to Coach Paul Forch. Annually loaded with strong teams, it takes an excellent team to even make it out of the city. So when East eeked out wins over Lincoln High and Southeast in district play, the Spartans were in good shape

for their first try at the state title.

Opening against Alliance, the Spartans started slowly and trailed at the first quarter. Then Reckewey started his record assault as he dazzled the crowd with a 45 point output which included a remarkable 23 of 25 from the charity stripe. This performance pulled East ahead for good, and they went on to win 79-69.

With Hastings eliminating Westside, East met the Tigers in the semi-final game. The next day, as spectators arrived two hours early, tensions began mounting and by game time, the fans were ready for a barnburner.

Both teams opened with hot hands, and the first quarter was a furious exchange of baskets which left Hastings ahead by one, 24-23. The half found East in command, 45-41 and the teams played evenly through the third, 66-62. No one was prepared for the fourth quarter finish still in store.

A total of 39 points was scored in the fourth quarter, but the most crucial part of the last quarter turned out to be the shots missed. Twice in the final frame , Copple went to the line for a one and one. Each time he missed the first shot but a defender, violating a rule strictly enforced during the tournament, entered the lane too early and Copple was awarded a second try. These, plus the bonus shots , went through and each time East retained the lead.

When~Hasti.ngs pulled ·within one point, with thirty seconds in the game, things looked good. Forch figured Reckewey could run out the clock on the dribble or make the free throws if fouled. This strategy got fouled, though, when East turned over the ball on a lane violation with eighteen seconds to go.

Hastings came downcourt quickly and with five seconds left, passed inside to their tall center, Paul Thomas. Thomas turned and shot from close range but the bal I bounced out. Controlling the rebound, Hastings put it up again only to miss. Still a third tip went up but as it rolled off the rim the gun sounded the East win-84-83.

The Hastings finish was the closest and most exciting finish the tournament had seen so far.

Papillion had bombed their other tournament foes with tremendous fourth quarter bursts and they weren't about to change their style for anyone.

Midway through the third period, East was riding high and enjoying a comfortable sixteen point cushion. But Papillion slowly pecked away at the stuffing. Suddenly before anyone knew it, East no longer had any padding left and with five minutes to go, the Monarchs took the lead, 61-60. It was tied four times in the next four minutes and with forty six seconds left, Reckewey tied it at 72-all.

Papillion called time out to decide on a strategy which would undoubtedly result in an attempt to get the ball to their 6'1 O" center Mike Heck. Forch tried to counter this by situating Rick Samuelson in front of and Scott Copple behind the big man to prevent the pass to him.

Forch's strategy worked, and as Papillion moved the ball into the corner their man stepped out of bounds with two seconds left.

"Time out - East. "

Faced with an impossible situation (90 feet and two· seconds} , Coach Forch desperately thought up a plan which centered on getting the ball to Reckewey and praying.

Jack Ball took it out of bounds but finding Kent double-teamed threw a long bomb Samuelson chased the ball which was headed out of bounds and flipped it back to Copple who scooped it up and one-handedly put it twenty feet through the net at the gun. East High in its fourth . year and first trip to the State Tournament had won, 74-72.

Many people wi II say that it was Kent Reckewey ' s 118 points, or Copple's desperation shot or Samuelson's save that gave East the title. Individually each player had contributed to the win, but in the end it was done by a team of Spartans, a team of men, who deserved to be called STATE CHAMPS.

It was the "little things" that ruined the Junior Varsity's hopes for a perfect season. Losing by one point in the last few minutes to Columbus , 60-some fouls at Hastings and general second half blues prevented many potential wins. The reserves lost twice to both Lincoln High and Northeast which

accounted for half of the season losses. "Vacation fever" caused the J.V.'s fall to Pius, while Columbus squeaked by showing one more point at the final buzzer and Hastings slid past in overtime. Pershing Auditorium seemed to be a jinx. After an initial win against Southeast every game played there resulted in defeat. Reserves had a hot weekend on the road right after Christmas vacation when they smashed Kearney and Omaha Tech back to back. Beatrice fell next and North platte "threw in the towel" to East's 42 point lead and Pat McKee's 63 foot basket at the final buzzer. The concluding game of the season resulted in a victory over Grand Island. Coach Stoehr summed up the season by saying "It seemed like we worked awful hard for just an eight and eight season."

crest arrives too early in season for swimmers

Poise, grace and strength plus conditioni-ng that's what Spartan swimmers are made of. Some sports are all muscle or speed or balance but the art of competitive swimming requires each and every one.

These qualities were proven time and again as the swimmers looked for an undefeated season. They captured the city championship in a hair-raising meet against Lincoln High and finished with a successful 8-1 record.

The last dual meet and only loss to Fremont seemed to be the start of a descent for the team. "We peaked too soon," stated one wetback. Instead of a slow and gradual climb which should have lasted until the Conference and State meets, the climax was reached in mid-season.

Four days after the Fremont meet

the Spartans placed second in the Trans-Nebraska Conference, a meet "we should have taken." But this disappointment led to greater determination and the team in blue successfully sought first place in the City Relays.

"Swimming is the hardest sport there is" was the swimmers' general opinion. Every muscle is used. Besides the terrific physical endurance and the occasional desperate gasps for air, mental pressure is high.

The state meet was evidence of the strain and tension built up throughout the season. Each indi-

vidual had the same thought, "You can't blame it on anything else but yourself." Kim Kovanda and John Blumer, who became eligible at semester because of his transfer from Northeast, were two swimmers who came out ahead. Kovanda earned a first in the fifty free style and a second in the one hundred free style. Second place in diving was captured by Blumer.

When the final ratings arrived, East had placed sixth in the state. How did the team feel about it? They were "pleased but not satisfied."

"we condition everything down to our little toes and everything in between.,,.

ph ilosophers devour navel oranges for sustenance ·

It you wan't to know whether or not wrestling is a sport of sheer brute strength, just ask a wrestler; he'll probably laugh in your face.

"You call this brute strength?" chortled Kevin Puterbaugh, 98 lb. State Champion, pointing to his body. "Wrestling is probably 90% thought. You've got to know what you're doing, at all times. At stat e I had pages of notes on each guy I wrestled. I knew what he would d o before I went onto the mat."

Although this is a mild understatement, strength doesn ' t play the part most people think it would.

"A combination of finesse and strength " was Coach James Holechek's description of it. "A wrestler must have style along with a little killer instinct if he's going to be a champ."

Individual sacrifice plays a large part, too. It wasn't an uncommon sight to see a mat man at the lunch table heartily devouring a single navel orange. Some even skipped lunch altogether to lose a few pounds i~a "hot " whirlpool at noon. Movies and dances were often foregone in the interest of training regulations.

Eventually it all paid off, however. The grapplers, although retaining only two varsity men from last year, used a balanced team effort in compiling an impressive winning record before claiming the city title. As district runner-up, the Spartans qualified seven men for State, but the balance that helped

the team throughout the year just didn't quite pay off. Puterbaugh was the only man to make the finals which he won, and Bill Bone took fourth in the 126 lb. division.

After state? Well, the grappler's first thought was food. With most of the mat men drupping an extra

weight class at the end of the year, they couldn't wait to make it up. Pat Arthur ballooned an amazing fifteen lbs. in five hours while Puderbaugh put on a good ten lbs. The relierof tension was evident. Pinching some skin on his cheek, one of the boys proclaimed with gusto, "Look, I'm fat!"

unlimited possibilities attribute to mental incentive

"If the desire is there then the possibilities are unlimited," said Coach Rudy Stoehr. With this j dea in mind, the varsity baseball team "dug-in" to another season. Only four veterans were present, however, compared to the thirteen of last year.

Many people thought the inexperienced team could only hope for a fair season, but the idea of winning

is too deeply instilled in the Spartan mind. Their goal was like that of East High-to be number one.

"We want to do as well, if not better, than last year's team-be district champions, and state contenders," said senior letterman Mike Reta. The yearning to be a winner is the first step to victory.

There's no substitute for hustle,

for practice and more pract i ce. When the guys get on the field, it's their ballgame. That's the time when the hours of practice show. The guy that hustles, the guy that puts out extra effort is the one that's going to win. But if he loses, he's learned more than enough to make up for it. You can get out of it whatever you desire. It's your ballgame! Batter up!

Everytime I run, I ask myself, "What the heck am I doing running and running around the 'fabulous all-weather track?'" I run for the pain maybe, the pain racking my whole body, the aching in my legs and the heaving of my chest. When I'm ahead I worry about the guy tailing me, and when I'm behind I think about getting ahead of the guy in front of me. Sometimes I think about just nothin' because I don't

have time to think. Coach McConnell says that a poor performance is the result of a poor mental situation. I guess that means if I'm going to win I have to want it first. Sort of a mind-overmatter deal. And then I finally see the string across the track, and nothing else matters. My legs begin to pump like never before because the finish is in sight. I want to win, I want to win, I want to win! l'M going to be the one to bust that blasted tape. I'm gonna win! I have to WIN! Snap! The feeling of that string on the track man's chest is beyond description. All the work and strain of the week and the meet become worth it when that slight tension is felt. The race is over, and you know you're #1 !

rebuilding year cited for sophomore-laden golf te am .

Many sports in this age enjoy the advantage of being able to move indoors. Golf, unfortunately, requires the "great outdoors" and, therefore, must either brave or bow to whatever weather nature dishes out. Plagued by the same type of blizzards that had postponed sporting events all year, it wasn't until a few days before the first meet that the golfers could get _ onto- the courses.

Coach Dale Wismer was pleased with the large turnout at practices starting in March. Of these, however, only Thurman Hinds was a varsity returnee. A handful of largely untested sophomores joined Thurman and prior reserve players Sid Moore and Rick Juliffs as the top varsity men.

Snowbound early in the season,

the team was forced to resort to indoor stroke work which was hardly comparable to the real game. In what Coach Wismer labeled as a rebuilding year, the golfers launched on a Cc;impaign to better last year's record. Starting April 2 the golfers swung through twelve contests which terminated with the State Tournament on May 21.

boasting imaginative na~es, intramurals 'ride on'

Paralleling organized sports in almost every aspect was tbe intramural program. There were intramural cheerleaders , game programs, team uniforms, team loyalty, letter clubs and close inter-city clashes. April and May even found juniors signing " letters of intent" as seniors acted to keep their teams alive for posterity.

Starting the year with flag-football, the Taco ll's established superiority and coasted to the school title before b~eing bumped out of the city finals. Severa~ of these boys had earned the Taco "T", however, and wore it proudly on their tee-shirts.

Next in line was the basketball season. Along with the Taco II power came the Funky Chickens, Prunes, and The Intramural Team (which was later found to contain all seniors so the initials were changed to include this fact.). The Tacos again gained prominence by breaking the tie between themselves and T.S.I.T. for the school title.

Going on to the city title game against Northeast, the team, trailing by one point with a few seconds left, tried a Hastings finish by tipping it up three times. But like Hastings, theirs didn't go in, and the Tacos had to settle with runner-up.

At this time a key merger took place between the Tacos and the

Prunes to form a volleyball team called Salt. When the Tacos split they lost their potency, and Juan ' s Minority came on to capture the school title.

With softball, pingpong, and badminton filling the spring schedule, the intramural season came to a close.

The program involved more than just the team sports, however.

Every Saturday morning the intra-

mural sponsors, Mr. Jean Henrichs and Mr. John Lahr, opened the gym for free play. This provided many boys a chance for exercise they • would never have received otherwise. Another facet of the afterschool athletics was a body-building program utilizing the newly acquired universal gym.
