4/autumn
The color changes in nature are the most noticeable characteristic of autumn. Sometimes it seems as if nature tries to bribe us with her beautiful autumn colors to make us willing to part with summer. ~ The transition from summer to autumn has always been a difficult one for me. Summer is not an easy thing to leave behind , but I am inevitably forced to do so in the constant cycle . of the seasons. Change is not always readily accepted, but when its unalterable nature is realized, we learn to tolerate and eventually appreciate it. Autumn is the harvest of many months of growth .. . a harvest representing the maturing, and understanding , of the ideas which have grown within us. Autumn is a time for enjoyment, whether it be the excitement of a fair, or the delicious taste of a juicy apple. For the young, autumn is a night to dress up in a costume and walk for blocks with friends, stopping at every house along the way. Halloween always gave me a chance to be creative. The costume I would wear was one that I had thought about for weeks. I regarded Halloween as a chance to express my individuality. The year my best friend dressed up as a witch , I dressed as a birthday cake, or maybe that was the year I was a scarecrow .. . Although we were unaware of it at the time , Halloween gave each of us a simulation of many of the realities of life. We hid behind the facades that we had chosen to wear and if our true identities were revealed, we were forced to defend our costume. Not everyone understood why I was dressed as a birthday cake or a scarecrow, but then I didn 't always understand why others were dressed the way they were! People naturally tend to support what they create; their ideas, their possessions, the things they say, the way they dress . . . and I was forced to defend my costume in the same way I now defend my ideas and actions, if it is necessary. Halloween, like every opportunity that I was given to express myself, slowly taught me the importance of believing in myself. Once I was able to understand myself, I found that I was able to understand others as well. Every season offers a fresh opportunity to learn something new about life.

title Ill program proposal becomes reality Every year brings changes, but the gradual conversion that to ok place this year will-become more evident within the next three years. The East High School faculty and administration had been seeking an organizational and instructional model, to provide a more flexible program to meet the wide variety of student needs. The basic operational proposal of the learning community school model, under the Nebraska State Department of Education ESEA Title 111, was reviewed and implemented to hopefully meet this goal. A community involvement committee co m posed of parents, students, and teachers from East worked together to assist in the writing of the operational proposal for the learning co m m un ity school project. Over a period of six months, the members of the committee examined and made suggestions about the organization of the project. The committee also assisted in the needs assessment co nd uc te d at East, examined the data that was gathered and made suggestions regarding the writing of component sections of the proposal. The learning community school model focused on developing self-motivation and self-direction with the student. The implementation of the project, which was financed by the C. F. Kettering Foundation, demanded extensive staff preparation, inservice training, and revisions in the structure of the curriculum. The cu rri cu lu m was redesigned to ac co m modate individual guided learning programs. Three options were made available for students this year. They were quarter courses, cooperatively planned contracted learning, and out-of-school learning. The major goals of the program were to
14 /g ui da nc e
create various learning structures, to provide, each student with a secure and personal environment, freedom in educational experiences, continuous advisor assistance , and to involve parents in their ch ild 's education~! program . The school was divided into learning com -· .munities of 240-300 students and 12-1 5 teachers from all subject areas. Each teacher in the community served as an advisor to approximately 20 students. The teacher-advisors gathered information about their advisees and were able to give them individualized C't>unseling, academically and personally. Students began to feel that their advisors also helped the students in planning their own educational program, thus teachers developed and demonstrated skills in academic guidance and human development. Teachers also conducted parent-studentadvisor conferences. Parents became more involved through working with the advisor to review and help plan their child 's learning program . Parental input became essential and parents also were able to become better acquainted with members of the faculty and administration . A Program Improvement Committee (PIC), composed of the principal, students, and teachers, represented the learning communities and assisted in making instructional decisions concerning the structure and design of the curriculum . The committee also worked with the placement of students into learning communities. One faculty member summarized the year by stating , "T he changes in this year's program created some problems due to upsets in former patterns . However, the openess of the faculty and willingness to work together helped to overcome most of the obstacles.''
guidance/15
administration dreams_of closer relations It is the dream of every administration to bring about closer relations between the stu dents and teachers. East High took another step in that direction this year by installing the new Title Ill program. The implementation of this program anc the new quarter courses were the two mair goals of the administration . Although the administration felt that the advisor aspect was working quite well, they felt that many people were discouraged because of the slow development. Most administrators felt that quarte'r courses were a great addition. The main advantage pointed out by the administration was that they brought about a change after nine weeks, and that they let students focus on a special area. Although these two areas were the major concern this year, the administration continued to develop a good attitude at East. As vice principal Darwin Salestrom stated, ''We want to make the students recognize their true potential." Mr. James Huge: Principal

title Ill advent changes counselors' role The role of the counselors changed this year with the advent of Title Ill program, and the addition of student advisors. The counselors were each assigned a gro up of advisors to aid, and all sophomores and freshmen were assigned the counselor who headed their advisory community. The responsibility of second semester scheduling was then given to the advisors , but many students still went to their counselors, as they had done in previous years. Counselors also helped students in selecting colleges and majors, and were in charge of senior checks. In addition , they were responsible for administering the SAT, PSAT, and NMSOT tests. "In spite of the advantage of having an advisor, students still largely depend on their cou nse lors ," commented one counselor. Mr. Ivan Goochey: Counselor

discussion stimulates inductive reasoning In writing skillls, language study, or just plain reading, English teachers concerned themselves with the individual needs of each student. ''We try to encourage students to become lifetime listeners who can think, speak, read, and write well," reflected department head Mrs. Sherry Ehrlich. Many instructors believed that a combination of lectures, reading, library research, and class discussions were necessary to accomplish this. \ "Students aren't going to learn anything if teachers don't lecture some of the time," one teacher commented. "Students learn to listen by listening. Class discussions also help create situations to make students use inductive reasoning."

students broaden cultural understanding If you were to ask foreign language students why they were taking a foreign language , you would probably get a wide variety of answers. But whatever the reason, a student gets more than just another tongue to speak when he takes a foreign language. Language teachers tried to give their students a cultural understanding about foreign countries through many different sources and activities. Records, tapes , foreign foods, games and songs were all part of an effort to broaden the student's understanding . Related out-of-class activities, along with skilled teachers, also gave students a better chance to come closer to the rest of the world .

"year of the arts" encourages involvement Student participation and involvement in the area of fine arts was encouraged by the art department this year through the Lincoln Public Schools' "Year of the Arts" program . Several professional artists visited the community during the year to interact with students. Demonstrations and assistance in specific art mediums.also brought the students, staff , and community into a closer proximity with experts in the area of visual arts. East High school became a "Learning Community' ' when students were sent into the community and members of the community were brought to the school. Individualized instruction and independent study programs once again were made available for art students this year . "Out-of-school learning programs " included volunteer service and apprentice opportunities for participants in the area of humanities. East 's two art teachers, both working artists, continued to have their work included in exhibits in the community, and Mr. Schaad 's pottery was on display in exhibits across the country.

Lack of space and time plagued the department, as the music rooms were occupied every period of the day, limiting the courses offered. No quarter courses were available because of the space problem and· the fact that most classes couldn't be condensed into nine weeks . Despite these drawbacks, music students were willing to try new materials and ideas. ''These students have a greater sense of accomplishment than most othe r high school studen ts," department head Mr. Jon Peterson commented. "Ou r purpose is to help them create, rather than memorize, idea s."

Many teachers believed that with the advent of quarter classes.students would become interested in selecting their own physical education activities . This could result in a possible change in graduation requirements; from five hours over a period of two years to perhaps five hours every school year. Quarter courses to be offered in the future included scuba diving , open water survival , football, tennis , cycling , camping, and bowling . One teacher commented, ' 'Students could finish their requirements and never have taken a class. With quarter courses, students would be able to complete requirements in areas they are interested in."

class of 1974 has a different kind of unity "A transverse group of people, each unique and each with something to give, if only given the chance," said a teacher, summing up the class of '74. Since junior high, the class had proved to the teachers and the rest of the school that their class could "contribute something worthwhile and alive to the school," declared one senior. This was spirit, something other classes seemed to have lacked. Through the next three years each student began to grow and change; this was unavoidable, because of the size of the school and the number of students. During their senior year communication seemed difficult and sometimes impossible; this was due to other activities and the private hopes of each individual. "The senior girls and guys don't seem to get along as well as they used to, but the real problem is that they each fear the other, because everybody has changed, and each individual's personality has grown. Actually there is a fear of getting to know one another." Some seniors felt that being a senior was ''great'', while others found the pressure of college tests, future educational decisions and the uncertainty of their future confusing and frightening. Some students even considered ''stoppi n~ out" after graduation . This is a program which enables the student to postpone entering college for a year to work, travel, or just relax before continuing their education. "Stopping out" allows the students to re-enter school the next year with no harm to his standing or rank. The worth of a class has always seemed to be based on whether or not they are unified. The class of '74 may not have appeared to have as much "volume" as in their freshman year, but three years of confusion, pain, worry, and indecision have made each individual grow. They existed not as a bunch-as one senior put it, "screaming idiots" -but as a group of very different people with different ideas, goals, hopes and dreams who have been together for a time and have learned from this unity.

s t s e r e t n i f o y t e i r a v e d i w s s e r p x e juniors The junior class of '75 was a class of various interests, ranging from intramurals to working on the stage crew Gf the annual musica l. More after school activities were attended by juniors on a regular qasis. One junior explained this by saying, "a s juniors we have more spare time. We're more organized than we were as sophomores , but do n' t have the pressures of seniors." Another junior noted that most juniors have their driver's licenses, which expanded their range of activities. ' 'We can go wherever we want to now , to parties or whatever ." Other juniors felt added responsibility. Many held part-time jobs for a source of income. "M or e is expected of us. Now that we're getting to the top, we're supposed to set an example," commented a junior . Spending their hard-earned money from jobs was no problem, however. Many juniors went on ski trips over vacations . Others planned trips to Mexico, Canada , and Europe, with summer school classes. Being a junior also meant having most of their requirements out of the way . Quarter courses were favorites, as there was a wide variety . "T hi s year I took fun classes ," commented one junior. Much of the junior class either participated in , or attended sports events . A popular activity of junior girls was Pep Club. Many girls also joined Reversals, a
new group with the purpose of supporting the wrestling team . " I never knew how exciting wrestling really was until this year, " commented a member. The jock-freak conflict still remained , and one junior remarked , ' 'There are still too many jocks and not enough freaks. " Cliques were still apparent, but most juniors felt that they were better friends this year. Relations with other classes also improved. "B ei ng in sb many of the same activities as seniors and sophomores helps us get acquainted. We couldn 't escape becoming friends ." Being a junior also meant having more thoughts about the future . " Here we are , halfway through high school, and I haven 't given a second thought to the future ." Another junior added, "A nd we even had to take pre-college entrance exams.··· "It 's gone so fast. I remember when I never thought I'd be in high school, and now, it' s half over. I wonder how we'll be next year, on top. It's hard to imagine us there. Since 7th grade it's been a long ladder, and here we are! '' commented one junior . But in the meantime, the majority of the juniors enjoyed the "in -b et we en es s" of this year. They found that being an upperclassman had definite advantages , but without the many pressures facing the seniors . All in all, most of the class of ' 75 found that this was the best year yet.

th w o r g d n a e g n a h sophomores: a year of c As the year progressed , more and more of the students intermingled and began to meet different kids, and the class began to become the unified class they hoped to be. This year was also one of change in structure , as several new concepts were introduced to the class . The first was the new advisory schedule, which was set up this year. to help students get to·know one another. Another new idea was the acceptance of sophomore girls into Pep Club. Formerly the sophomores had their own spirit club, not connected with the high school Pep Club, but the decision to go ahead and permit sophomores to join benefited all concerned . As clu b president Sheila Jorgenson put it, "So ph om ore s are a definite asset to Pep Club; they are the ones who get things done ." The sophomore girls agreed with her. As one member commented , "I really enjoy Pep Club, because you meet a lot of people. I'm glad we 're in Pep Club; we get to meet juniors and seniors, and fellow classmates too .'' The addition of the 10th
grade girls raised the membership to over 300, adding to the promotion of East High spirit. With the combination of all these . new factors, the sophomore class e>spressed the idea of their. slo ga n-" We 've got spirit that really sticks , we 're the class of '76 ." The key word to the sophomore class _ this year was unity . A majority of students all expressed the same de sir e-t he need for unity . This problem seemed to be of much more importanc e to the sophomore class than any other, since it is a combination of junior high~students being introduced to each other for the first time. As one sophomore boy put it, " All of a sudden you come back to school and you do n't know anyone ; it seems as though you ' re in another school. The kids from the separate jun ior highs seem to form their own groups , making three separate little groups in one class . It makes organization imp?ssible ."

pressure relieved, attitudes ·start to change Peaceful co-existence was the key for many junior high students this year. Ever since East opened, there has existed a friction between high school and junior high students. In a school "supposedly built as a high school," as one junior put it, the jumble of 2,000 students of all ages, shapes, sizes and ideas can exist together peacefully. In past years the junior high student has been called gummer and ankle biter. There have even been evidences of physical ribbing between high school and junior high school students. This year, an undercurrent of change seemed to appear. As one eighth grader pl.it it, "It sometimes seems like we're not even in the same building. A seventh grader said, uSometimes you can almost forget that they're there, until you get bumped over in the hall between classes." The junior high strived to achieve acknowledgment as a separate junior high this year. The Christmas play, the junior high play, the newspaper, intramurals and ninth grade sports were cited by students
110/junior high existence
as opportunities for involvement. Junior high students expressed various opinions about the advisor program . "It sure is a big help to know that when you don't know what's going on you can go ask somebody, and he'll know your name!" Another said," Oh, I've never gone." Student Council was under attack again this year . "I wonder if they really do anything?" a student questioned. A seventh grader pointed out, ''They punhe Christmas tree in the office window!" A lack of communication was cited as the reason for this attitude toward Council. "Nobody seems to know what they're doing," an eighth grade girl said. "I love East, and I'm proud to go here; all my friends from other schools are jealous,'' one student commented. Students found out that with the senior high in the same building, they were expected to hold more responsibility. One freshman summed up his three years in East junior high, saying, "I guess the thing is you grow up and mature faster here; you have to, to keep up."

activities make up a fulfilling school year Being asked to your very first dance , or asking someone to their very first dance, is a very unique thing that all treasure and some never even experience . This is the only'way that some people ever get involved in school or with other people . But even if this is it, school has served some purpose and brought pe_ople together to relate to one another. There are some in school who are too busy to attend these dances ; they get involved with others through drama. Whether it is with mime troups , comedies, musicals , or mystery, they have found a different way to relate with others. Through the year many of the activities such as these have taken place and brought a great many people closer to one another. Each year a theme for every dance seems a little more unique when it is finally thought of , and the scenery, props and acting of every dramatic production seems more polished . But in reality, the students who sponsor and produce these are not any more talented or smarter. It is through previous years of experience and past difficulties that the troubles and disasters are avoided or covered over, and the finished product is more polished and unique because of the great enthusiasm and involvement.

But the fun of Homecoming '73 was in everyone 's memory forever , and indeed as the theme stated , the Spartans did return in the form of alums . The spirit of the dance was lightened by the fact that East was victorious over Northeast that same night. Homecoming served a dual purpose as it brought back forryier couples of years past , and sparked up new couples who will probably return i.n a couple of years, still loyal Spartans.
As a part of the halftime show, the homecoming attendants were introduced and walked on to the field.

Professor Hill leads his band in their first performance in front of the skeptical and unsure townfolk.
''Seventy1-six trombones led the big parade" as ·eighty-two actors, dancers, and singers led this year's musical, "The Music Man." With Deb Graphenteen and Mitch Reta playing the lead parts, Mr. Jon Peterson led the group into two quite successful performances. After weeks of tripping over the feet of the girl standing next to you and being laughed at by fellow klutzes, you finally get it down, and on the opening night no one even knows all the trouble you've had. These thoughts and many others, such as finding a decent costume and trying to put on the right makeup, are all the memories and explanation of the '73 musical, "The Music Man."

" A hectic, busy week in which all classes unite together to show their spirit by decorations, skits and over-all spirit," is how one senior described Spirit Week at East High. Although all themes were chosen well in advance , the junior class did not seem to use this extra time to their advantage as well as the sophomores, who spent many late nights working on signs at Mary McLaughlin 's house, and the seniors, who also gathered in the weeks before to prepare. "There were some juniors who really worked hard on decorations before Spirit Week, like making foil stars and mobiles, but it wasn 't a class effort and only a few people were really involved, '' observed one junior. ' 'Only a few select kids get to be in the skit every year . There 's no communication or organization in our class. No one tries to cooperate," commented another junior. Sophomores, whose theme was the successful Spartan Graffiti, took first in over-all spirit. ' 'Their decorations and skit looked very impressive and like a lot of hard work had been put into them . They seem very united, like we were when we were
sophs," a senior stated. Nostalgic signs depicting teen-agers in the '50's were hung on the walls, and with • a few cans of paint and a lot of manpower the sophomores turned the glass corridor into Main Street, perfect for cruisin '. "It was really great! I think it was a total class effort and I was really glad to see that it wasn't only the kids who went to East last year but also the Culler and Lefler kids who helped too. We had a lot of fun ," said Casey McCabe, sophomore class vice president. Seniors seemed to lack the enthusiasm they have had in the past. Hoping to capture the Spirit Week award for their third consecutive year, the seniors' theme was ''Thanks for the Memories.' ' Reminicing on the themes of the past two years, the seniors brought out old signs, re-did them and combined ideas to finish in second place . "I'm glad the sophomores won, they deserved it. Seniors could have done better but we didn't have the time or effort as a class to do it. By the time you get to be a senior there are too many outside activities other than Spirit Week. It's not fun any more, but more of a duty, " said senior Becky Egbert.

all-school play displays diversity of talents With the thought of an enjoyable evening in mind , the audience set out for this year's all-school play, " The Man Who Came to Dinner'' . The play takes place in the Stanley home, where their dinner guest has slipped ,on their doorstep and broken his hip. He is confined to a wheelchair for six weeks . Puring th is time he monopolizes the Stanley's living room with convicts who are invited to meals, runs up $784 phone bills, and receives strange gifts • from his friends . Under the direction of a new director this year, the dral"!7a students worked well with Mrs. Leslie Peterson. Although many felt that this play might be a bigger job than the students could handle , through much determination and self-discipline , they handled it beautifully. All cast members practice their finale the night before their first performance of the all-school play.

" Practicing twice a week, the eight-member group gave over ten performances in various junior and senior highs and grade schools. Twenty acts were always ready for performance, but only about ten were

Mime Troupe was mainly for those students interested in doing mimes and in the practice of body control. Not all members had to be involved in the dramatic plays and other drama department activities throughout the year ; the only requirement was that they enjoyed and were interested in their mimes.

organizations involve students with others Joining a club or an organization in school is, for many, their way of getting involved . Clubs provide a chance for expression of talents and concern . New concerns this year, such as womens ' rights and ecology, brought issues to the public 's attention, and action was taken through meetings with the school board and establishing a recycling center in the parking lot. Often these organizations are referred to by onlookers as a waste of time, but the participants realize the benefit of relationships with others. Over 20 organizations were either formed or continued this year, their purposes ranging from promoting spirit to making this book. Over 500 students participated in these organizations. Their reasons for joining were all different, but the results were the same-students working together. If it were not for these organizations and the people involved in them, school would just be a place where no one carried anything more out than what they went in with. • I

Their year as cheerleaders began when they were picked up in the middle of the night last spr ing. From there they began to organize, practice, make money and learn to enjoy each oth er's friendships. They learned that in order to support others , they had to support themselves. Bake sales , pop bottle drives, booster buttons and a garage sa~ earned the money. The sponsor , victorious teams and friendly relationships between themselves provided the moral support. · They attended cheerleader clinic at the close of the summer. Both the reserve and varsity squads received blue ribbons , and they shared the spirit stick and the Spark Plug award, which the girls at the clinic awarded to them. The varsity squad won the Coca-Cola award with the reserves as runners-up. This unified the squads, and put a spirit in them that never faded. ''Ou r year was a success, thanks to the fantastic workmanship of Pep Club and teams that to us could not be equalled by others anywhere, '' commented one cheerleader .

deca fulfills many goals through the year DECA saw many goals fulfilled this year. Particularly, a main aim was towards the four objectives of distributive education clubs across America. The goals social intell igence, vocational understanding, civic consciousness, and leadership development were the prime factors of achievement.
Social intelligence was accomplished by having classroom lunches consisting of pizza or a Mac's hamburger for DECA members . The social events were summarized with the club members and their employers having a get-together . Vocational understanding was fulfilled by in-class lectures, guest speakers, and
Early morning concessions, a bookstore , and a cookie shop were money making projects of DECA.
field trips, one of which was to an Omaha advertising agency. Civic consciousness was also sufficed with a community project of comparing grocery prices in different income areas . The data collected was then submitted to the state DECA convention held in March at the Lincoln Cornhusker Hotel. Another community project that was put forth was a collection of Christmas presents for needy fam ilies. An anti-shoplifting program was also facilitated at East in order to reduce the high teenage shoplifting record . Along with these projects, there were many others to make the year a truly successful one for distributive education students and their community. The last goal for DECA was to increase leadership development, which was highly successful at the Central Region Conference, held in Lincoln. The conference emphasized good leadership qualities and in many cases DECA members were•put to the test. Conference participants found themselves involved in competitive events, seminars, banquets, and dances to make up a busy weekend schedule. The four goals of DECA were indeed accomplished and the DECA members were a major part of its achievements. Sponsor Mrs. Alice Scott felt this was a more controlled club because it is a special interest club. "DECA gave a chance for involvement," stated one member.

Not so with the debate team, as several members worked throughout the summer collecting evidence and arguments for the topic. Resolved : That the federal government should guarantee a minimum annual income to each family unit. The guaranteed income is a very controversial issue, and one debater commented, " You really would get into it-arguing emotionally , that is. " Debate entails researching both the pro and con of the issue so the student can argue effectively . The team participated in many tournaments throughout the state, including Kearney, Grand Island, Omaha, Fremont and others. Coach Linda Hoff described debate as "te ac hin g the student to think logically and critically, which is essential in life. " Working and attending debate tournaments weren't the only activities of the team . Out-of-school learning activities, such as debates before luncheons and audiences, were started this year . One such event was a three-man debate before the Lincoln Sertoma Club .

The 1974 Dollfin Club underwent several changes. The group was made into a class, and gym credits were given. The class met every seventh period instead of after school, but no practice was able to take place before the third quarter. The performance, which took place early in April, held the theme "give my regards to Broad way," and all acts were taken from the best known Broadway musicals. Hard work, worry, and rushing got the show ready. Special performances were held for invited groups of Lincoln residents. Tryouts were held the first three weeks in January, and with the help and guidance of Mrs. Bonnie Neilson, new members were chosen and the 24-member Dollfin Club presented their seventh annual syncronized swim show, giving their regards to Broadway and to East High School.

e club's membership increases this year Initiative is one word E-Club sponsor Phil Sprague wishes someone would have examined a little closer at the start of the ' 73- ' 74 school year. Most organizations or clubs are usually run by a cabinet consisting of president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer . But this year's club was organized entirely by its sponsor . " What E-Club? " was the general response of students in reference to the club's existence . But E-Club 's presence at basketball games slowly emerged , getting stronger as the season progressed. Members exchanged ''friendly '' cheers with opposing boys ' clubs at intra-city games. Even though a cabinet was not in power, E-Club still participated in their usual activities, such as selling programs at games . Other activities during the year involved KFOR's Operation Santa Claus, ordering pennants for the new 1-80 Eastern conference, a~d placing a pop machine in the training room . Players converse with members during warmup at a game at East as to which team will be tbe best.
Members sit together to promote spirit and urge on members who are playing.

Water-related activities involve east guard
Members served as timers at all home meets and the state meet as well as other projects through the year.
Any aquatic-related activity in the school was connected in some way with East Guard this year. East Guard considered itself a service club, rather than a swim club. There was no prerequisite of special swimming skills for members; they needed only to be interested in swimming. Members were required to work either as assistants in swim classes, timers at swim meets, or to become actively involved at meetings. Some of the services provided by East Guard involved the community. Members of East Guard assisted with both handicapped and rehabilitative swimming programs in connection with the city recreation department. East Guard members also assisted with summer skin and scuba diving programs. Meetings gave East Guard members an opportunity to view films and demonstrations presented by the Red Cross and other water safety services, as well as the hQ.ndling of "club business. " Money for the club was raised through concessions and the annual swimathon . Club sponsor Dennis Vokolek summarized the goal of East Guard this year: "Mainly, East Guard was here for service to the schoo l."
Members gather around to finalize plans for their March ski trip. Many plans and money-making projects were needed .

experience composes the 1974 epic staff The 1973-74 Epic staff was brought together last spring at the annual journalism banquet. At this banquet, for the first time, the Epic staff took on a new dimen sionthat of experience. The problems throughout the year were met with much ease, due to previous experiences. The first encounter of a problem came when a new advisor was brought to the department, David Coufal. The new advisor came after basic plans for the yearbook had been made . So the first task of the yearbook staff was to bring him up-to-date, and acquaint him with the general technicalities of the production. With patience, and much hard work of the staff and advisor, this problem was over~ come. The goal of the staff, accord ing to both co-editors Anne Schleiger and Ramona Hahn was, "We are going to meet all of our deadli nes." This became a visionable dream throughout the year. The pressure of last year's book, and its problems made the staff even more ambitious to create a yearbook without problems.

' 'The semester break dance was the most successful thing we had th is year," commented Mrs. Doris Vetter , sponsor for the '73- '74 junior high Student Counc il. '.'About one-th ird of the junior higtshowed up, and we came out even wittthe finance part, wh ich I think is pretty good ." The junior high Student Council answered the age-old charge of ''Council never does anything!'' with severa l projects. A " scan for cans " was one o1 these. The Council canvassed for canned goods for a needy fami ly around Christmas time . Other projects included an ecology project and a pop bottle drive, which the junior high worked on. For the ecology project they collected papers , cans , and bottles to be recycled . Every Wednesday the Student Counc il held a public meeting after school, in room D-117 . The attendance varied a little because Council members were not only involved with Student Council, but were also active with many other activities around school.
future physicians: a health-oriented club
The Future Physicians Club was organized three years ago to benefit students who were interested in a future in a health-oriented field. The group met every Wednesday to discuss possible activities or listen to a guest speaker from the local area . Some of the group 's activities included taking a tour of the UNO medical school , witnessing an autopsy, and an excursion through St. Elizabeth 's hospital. As in past years, the club was fairly small. But one member commented , " It 's nice to belong to a smaller club-you get to know everyone , and you get more opportunities as individuals and as a club ."

l a o g b lu c l a n o ti a n r te in e g d le w o n k l a r u lt u c International Club spent the year gaining knowledge of other cultures. The club met twice a month after school on Thursdays . One activity of the club was listening to guest speakers. The speakers discussed their home countries, local customs and types of food, as well as possible trips to these countries. The main purpose of the club was to raise funds to support American Field Society (AFS). They did this in many ways ; such as selling Gummi Bears, selling Kings' Food Host c9upons, and (cold though it was) they sold concessions at the East-Pius football game . The club also had many ''cultural experiences,'' such as the Christmas party and the International Club dinner.

being a majorette involves lots of practice When most school activities were just beginning, the '73-'7 4 East Majorettes had already experienced a summer full of practic es-and money-making projects. It was not unusual for arriving students to see the Majorettes "twirli ng" along with the band at 8:00 on some school morning. The girls twirled at football games and during one basketball halftime, and were also in a Lincoln parade . At the final football game, the Majorettes performed with fire, a unique tradition at East. The school provided uniforms similar to those of the band 's, but the Majorettes also made some of their own, to compliment their shows . One Majorette commented, "It's a lot of fun, but it also involves practi ce." The varsity Majorettes were Jody Kirkland, Teresa Johnson, Patty Ellington , Mary Kolar , and Laura Hammerseng. The junior varsity were Bambi Lawson and Sheryl Olmsted.

d an b g in ch ar m to ed d ad e ar s er ad le rank This year the East High Marching B;:\nd was under the leadership of Duane Johnson. Mr. Johnson, East High's former orchestra director, commented that switching from orchestra to band was no problem for him. Before he taught at East marching bands were tlis specialty. He felt that the attitude of students towards marching was much better than expected and, on the whole, they were very easy to Work with. The band also underwent another change . A senior from each section of the band was chosen to be a rank leader. The rank leader's duty was to make sure that each person in his or her section knew the show, and could play his or her part. "I think that through the use of rank leaders we got to the individuals much bett er," Mr. Johnson said. Before, with one band director and almost one hundred kids, it was nearly impossible." Many students and other directors felt that the system did work well. "In the future I'm looking forward to more concerts and contests,'' commented Mr. Johnson. "Without these, we are practicing for nothing and the kids have no reason to work .''
Members of Marching Band practice each morning to perfect their techniques for concerts to be given.

new dimensions added to '74 pep club The largest East High Pep Club took on new dimensions with the addition of sophomores and two new groups. Approximately 300 girls composed the club, and for the first time since the school 's opening year, sophomores were admitted . To keep track of each girl 's points , 22 squadleaders were appointed . In addition, several cha irmen were assigned various jobs, such as taking care
of special events , sales, and hall signs. New to Pep Club this year was the pompon squad , made up of 16 sen ior girls selected last spring. They performed routines to music during halftimes of football and basketball games . Reversals, East 's wrestling hostesses, were also a first . Girls who were members of Pep Club and interested in wrestling composed the club. They attended all
meets , at home and away. Inevitably, there were problems within Pep Club. Many girls complained of not be:ng informed of events . The point system again attracted criticism from members because many felt that spirit couldn 't be measured in points . Despite the problems, however, all members worked toward one major goalto promote " Spartan Spirit" .

When is the school paper the schoo l paper? Oracle members found themselves confronted with this problem , as well as others, during the '73- ' 74 school year. Brought together for the first time at the annual journalism banquet , the staff began to organize the paper and earn money almost immediately. The format of the Oracle wa.s changed from magazine to newspaper to facilitate layouts. Moneymaking projects, such as operating the concession stand and co-sponsoring " Sadie Hawkins," were carried on al l year. Along with all the " normal " problems , Oracle staff members encountered several new ones. The addition of a new advisor contributed to the general confusion of the first few days, as new policies were instituted. As in the past, the struggle of meeting deadlines came up. Trying to have stories in on time , devising layouts and selling ads consumed staff members' time.

orchestra · achieves intentions, balance .
Sectionals helped orchestra members perfect parts for the concert at Omaha Westside High School.
The orchestra this year completed their intentions. "Starting off to a good begin ning, " instructor Mr. Colwell stated, "The orchestra is more balanced, and the ensemble -is a lot better than last year." Mr. Colwell felt that the orchestra benefited because of the allotted time he had to prepare for the orchestra. An exchange concert with Omah a Westside was also planned and fulfilled Lincoln East High orchestra members found themselves playing at an assembly for the Omaha school, .with the favor returned by the Westside orchestra at an assembly for Lincoln East. Mr. Colwe ll stressed his opinion about the exchange conce rt and the whole year program: "l 'rr quite enthusiastic about the whole program; we have a lot of good musicians.' The orchestra's success was also due to the fact that the members developed a "sense of pride" and thus succeeded .

When East opened in 1967, an idea wa' presented to the cabinet of Pep Club: t( form a girls ' drill team. Drill teams havf become a popular group throughout Ne· braska, and as of last year none had beer formed in Lincoln ' The East porn pon squad was made ui: of 16 girls, and advised by Mrs. Robert c Zeno . They tried out last spring , and attended a national porn pon clinic, returning home with twenty blue ribbons, eighteen outstanding awards and the spirit stick for the camp. Southeast and Pius girls also formed drill teams this year. The girls found it quite difficult to get started this year. Inexperience and the varying schedules of each girl made it challenging . One girl commented, " It 's awfully hard to go out and perform when you are nervous, and the crowd doesn't know what to expect . They might jump at you for every mistake. " Another member said, "I love it; I've never had so much fun ." The heads of the group and the advisor found it a lot of hard work, and a lot of fun organizing the new work. Mrs. Zeno stated , " In two or three years this will be a very worthwhile part of the school and Pep Club."

singers achieve quality despite small size With a reduction in male vocalists, th is year 's East Singers was about ten members smaller than in previous years. In a smaller group , quality seems harder to come by. But this year 's group disproved that theory , as they sent 17 singers to the all-state music cl inic in Fremont. The calendar was filled witti events . ranging from the dedication of the Lincol n Foundation Park to the annual '' Expressions " concert. There was no exciting trip to Kansas City, as in the previous year when the group was selected to perfor m at the National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association , but other memories made the year unforgettable. The pep talk delivered by " coach " Peterson before All-City Choir Night, putting on the " Music Man," and many other things made a unique year for the East Singers . Members of East Singers discover the hard work and discipline required to achieve a harmonious sound .

controversy hits student council this yea Seldom is a school-oriented group or club very active during the summer months before school begins . However, this was not the case with this year 's Student Council. The newly-elected Student Council representatives began to channel their interest and enthusiasm for the school during the summer in various ways. Several Council members volunteered to manage and operate a firework stand daily and during the evenings for two weeks prior to the Fourth of July. The project raised nearly $200 for the Council fund , and also gave the members their first opportunity to work together and get acquainted. Some of the money raised was used to send several Council members to the five-day Nebraska Association of Student Councils Summer Leadership Workshop. One member was also selected to represent Nebraska as a delegate to the National Association of Student Councils Annual Convention in Colorado Springs. Both Workshop and Convention aided in the procedures, structure and effectiveness of this year's Student Council. When the fall semester began, Council attempted to soften the "back to school blues" by decorating the school, welcoming the students, faculty and administra-
tion . Council also sponsored a "Sixties Shindig" early in the school year. As the year progressed, Council experienced the problems facing student councils across the nation: communication , student apathy, and disunity. Communication with the student body remained a constant challenge. The advisor period offered one solution to the problem, reaching the students through special announcements made by the advisors. The new Program Improvement Committee (PIG) also opened the line~ of communication for Council. PIG represE:ntatives from Student Council , faculty and administration met weekly to discuss topics relevant to curriculum and the basic school environment. Apathy also presented a problem . The student body appeared to be disinterested in Council projects and activities, but much of this seeming 'lack of caring ' could be attributed to the lack of adequate communication. Some Council members also appeared to be apathetic at times, yielding to more persuasive members of the group. Student Council also experienced several conflicts within the organization itself during the year, resulting in lack of unity among many of its members, and the res-
ignation of one advisor. Many of these conflicts and personal differences were resolved , but some remained, hindering CounciJ 's ability to exist and function effectively . However, work in many important areas did continue throughout the year. Development of an adequate method of teacher evaluation continued. Questionnaire forms to be used for evaluating teachers were created and finalized by Student Council and approved by PIG . The forms were then distributed to department chairmen to be implemented on a trial basis, thus marking a giant step towards the ultimate goal of student evaluation of teachers, and eventually, courses. Evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages accompanying open campus continued, as well as work towards the designation of certain areas for student smoking . Student Council also sponsored several assemblies during the year, including a special speaker on the environment during Ecology Week. Although Student Council was busy this year, most of the work done by Council was on projects and changes that will appear in the future .

stage band rates high with its audiences In its seventh year of existence , the East High Stage Band continued to please audiences with their combination of jazz and modern rock. The band used the blending of guitars, percussion and a variety of brass to form a smooth , flowing sound . The band was formed of both boys and girls who tried out for positions. There was no real requirement to try out, except the ability to play good music and enjoy hard work. The group had a full year of activities which kept them busy. Some of the events were tours of junior and senior high schools in Lincoln and around the state. The band also represented East in several state-wide music clinics, in which they were in competition with other high school bands . They were judged on their arrangement and performance of a variety of musical selections. One member commented, ''The main goal was to have fun, and to represent East High the best way we could. " Stage band members found that much practice was needed to master techniques used in their music.

desire
stephenson exemplifies Desire is a word with many connotations, but to an athlete, desire means one thing, and that is to achieve success. Each athlete sets his own goal, a goal which may be near or far. When the word desire is brought up, other words , such as determination, guts, unity, and overall participation slip into the meaning of desire . In team sports , desire is found in the team's nucleus, but individual sports, desire is hidden withif'I the person. One good example of desire is that of 126.:.pound class A state wrestling champion, Chuck Stephenson, who as a junior didn't even compile a winning record . He returned the next year to capture a state

ac hi ev em en t championship. Desire cannot be measured, but the amount is the key. Perhaps another individuai or team may possess a desire above that of another, creating a situation of war-like competition. One of the biggest rivalries in East High football history is its annual "war" with the Knights of Lincoln Southeast. Each year, both teams go into the battle with a great deal of pride and self-esteem. This season Southeast knocked off number one rated and undefeated East High in a game which saw a great deal of defense. Desire was with both teams, but one team will always conquer, while the other falls.

East's most disappointing loss came at the hands of Lincoln Southeast, who nipped the undefe~ted Spartans by the score of 3-0. The Spartans fumbled the ball eight times , one of those on the Spartans' own 14 yard line, which set up the Southeast field goal. The Spartans' fjnal game of the season was with an undefeated Pius ballclub . The Spartans took command early , driving 77 yards the first time they had the ball, and the Spartans went on top, 6-0. The Spartans increased the lead to 12 -0 late in the first half, but Pius came back to narrow the lead to 127, and with two minutes remaining, scored again to give the Thunderbolts a 13-12 win. Coach Zentic commented that he was su rprised by the offense , which ranked first in the city, and he praised the Spartan defense for accomplishing that same feat. Zentic referred to this year's ballclub as the "m os t ba lan ce d" he has ever coached, both offensively and defensively. He singled out Pat Lehigh , Dennis Payne, and Bill Holmes on offense , and was pleased at how the offensive line developed. On defense , he mentioned special praise for linebackers Steve • Adams and Dan Knott; tackles Mike Hromas and Marc Sparling ; and defensive ba ck Karl Voss, who led the team in interceptions. Coach Zentic believes with a little more knowledge about the offense , his team can go after that·first undefeated , untied season.

When the sophomore football campaign began, line coach John Henry and backfield coach Rudy Stoehr were anything but optimistic toward the 1973 sophomore season. "I thought we would be lucky to·break even, commented head coach Rudy Stoehr, referring to the 1972 lightweights who finished with a 1-4 season . "Our team is usually built around the freshman squad , Stoehr added. But this year 's sophomores proved both coaches wrong , as they finished with a 4-2 season, and a bright outlook for competing on Jhe reserve and varsity levels in the near future. The sophomores started out the season with a 22-0 shutout at the hands of Lincoln Pius X. They quickly bounced back with four consecutive victories. The first one came in a driving raintorm at Beatrice, which saw the Spartans edge the Orangemen by a score of 7-6. The winning and only touchdown came from quarterback Doug Lund . Tim Mason added the extra point to give the Spartans the winning margin. 11

Coach Stoehr stated, "I believe this is the best behaved ballclub I've ever coached.
Their attitude was always good and it seemed like we never had a discipline problem the whole year." Stoehr also added that this ballclub was probably the smallest ballclub he's ever had, especially in the line.

chances of gymnasts ruined by injuries With eight returning lettermen, hopes were high for this year 's gymnastics team . But injuries to key people ru ined their chances and according to team members, the team went downhill in both performance and enthusiasm. The gymnasts performed well in early meets, but then the rash of injuries started , with the key all-around position - seeming to be a jinx. Tracy Turner, Dave Weakiand and Dave Bowen were all injured while being the all-around man, so coach Jim Gottschalk was often without his best performers. Being made up of a wide range of individuals , the team lost its unity as the season progressed and success became infrequent. "It seemed like everyone worried more about themselves than the
team ,'' said one gymnast. With fifth place on the side horse , Weakland was the top Spartan finisher in the state meet. Others qual ifying for the
state meet were Dave Bowden , Dave Bowen , Steve Bruce (in two events), Kirk Dietrich, Bill Fleischman, Dave Lehnert and John Manthey.

The Spartans built their team around 6-8 center Curt Hedberg, the only returning starter from last year's club, and guards Jim Dennis, Dan Hitz, and Karl Voss. Mark Ahlquist, Hoyt Nye, Dan Crouch and Steve Gohde developed in to what coach Forch labeled as good all-around players. Ahlquist drew praise from coach Forch for his defensive play , while the other starting forward, Hoyt Nye, was known for his block shots and rebounding. Coach Forch was pleased with a 44point defensive average, which is the best ever by a Spartan team. Forch singled out the three victories over Lincoln Northeast and Lincoln High along with the city, Trans-Nebraska and district titles as highlights of the season. Coach Forch added that he was especially proud of the attitude of the whole team and the excellent leadership provided by the seniors. Forch singled out allstater Curt Hedberg as being the ''king pin, the leader who kept things together both on offense and defense." East opened its regular basketbal1 season with an initial victory over crosstown rival Lincoln Southeast, who was later one of two teams to defeat the Spartans this year . It was quite evident both teams were
playing their first game, as they were both hampered by mistakes and nervousness. Senior center-forward Curt Hedberg paced the 36-34 attack, contributing 18 of the total 36 points. East's next opponent was Lincoln High. The Links forced the Spartans to rely on their outside guns when they opened up with a zone defense. Spartan guard Karl Voss hit two f reelthrows with 1 8-seconds remaining to give the Spartans a 47-45 win. Hedberg again led Spartan scorers with 16, while Jim Dennis and Mark Ahlquist chipped in ten and eight points, respectively The first loss came at the hands o, Omaha Central, who eventually defeated the Spartans for the class A state basket ball title in March. In the first encounter the Spartans fought a tough game, tryi m · to combine a solid man-to-man defenst and a 1-3-1 zone trap to try and stifle th 1:: Eagles. The Spartans saw their hopes o: an undefeated season disappear with c60-57 defeat The Spartans closed out their Decern ber schedule with a 70-49 win over Rai ston. The Spartans scored 26 points in th, third quarter to coast to an easy wir All but one of the Spartans ended u~ in the scoring column, with Hedber~ leading the way with 16 points East used its height advantage to wi r their fourth game of the season with a 66-
city, trans-nebraska, district, state runner 53 triumph over the Bearcats of Keamey. The.Spartans performance was hampered by a three-week layoff. Hedberg paced the Spartan scorers with a season high of 26, while forwards Hoyt Nye and Mark Ahlquist added 12 and ten, respectively . The Spartans used a consistent offense and a 55 percent field goal average to down the Orangemen of Beatrice , 63-39. Hedberg again led all scorers with 16, while Dennis contributed 12 and Ahlquist shot in ten . Fourth-ranked East then trampled future 1-80 opponent Papillion, 70-37, in a game which let the reserves gain valuable experience. Leading all scorers was Hedberg with 24, and Dan Crouch and Jim Dennis contributed eight apiece. The Spartans boosted their over-all record with a 56-46 victory over fifthranked North Platte in the Bulldogs' home court. East used a stubborn man-to-man defense in the third quarter to turn the tide. Hedberg finished the game with 24 points, while guard Jim Dennis added 11.

Hedberg, as usual, led all scorers with 19 points, with Ahlquist adding ten and Nye and Dennis contributing six each. The next game was an easy win over the Indians of Millard, 70-42. Coach Pa.ul Forch cleared the bench early to en~ble the reserves to gain playing experience. All of the Spartan team members got into ·the scoring book in one way or another, led by a 12-point production by Curt Hedberg. A hot-shooting Southeast qlub ended a seven-game win streak by downing the Spartans 60-57, at Pershing Auditorium. Mark Ahlquist and Curt Hedberg paced the East attack with 1~5 points apiece. East had to bounce back quickly the next night against a top ten opponent from Fremont. East led at the half; 27-18, before going on to take a decisive 69-48 win. Hedberg had 21 for the winners, followed by Dennis and Voss, who each contributed eight. It was the second game against Lincoln High, and the second two-point decision, 44-42. East was led b'y a balanced attack, as Hedberg, Ahlquist and Dennis each had 10. . The objective in the second game against Northeast was to stop Terry Novak, and that's just what forward Mark Ahlquist did. He held Novak to a total of Senior forward Mark Ahlquist helps screen out a Central defender so Curt Hedberg can put down two.

It was district time again, a whole new season and two city teams that the Spartans had beaten twice before. The Lincoln High Links were the first to fall, with a 5540 defeat at the hands of the Spartans. Northeast was East's next victim, when all-state candidate Curt Hedberg hit a basket with two seconds remaining. When the glorious celebration was over, it was East High 41, Northeast 40. East's berth into the finals of the state tournament was quite easy as the Spartans downed Beatrice , 43-28, and Bellevue, 60-31. The title game matched East with Omaha Central. The Eagles hit a blazing 49 percent from the field to dowr:i the Spartans 57-49, for the class A championship. Coach Forch commented, "This was the greatest group of guys to coach, and I would say they were equal to the state champion team of 1971."

" At the start of the year , I honestly didn't feel we had the talent of past squads . But we really molded together to become a top-notch ball club ," he commented. Finishing second in the city behind Northeast, the Spartans compiled an admirable 8-4 record, losing twice to Northeast and once to Southeast and Millard. Top scorers for the squad were Steve: barson and David Stear, but the team was balancec and several other players were closely bunched together Rippe also commented, " We los1 three of the four games by a matter 0 1 a few points ; the only game WE were blown out of was the seconc game against Northeast, and just can 't explain that.

senior grapplers lead to winning season For the first time in a long time, the wrestlers of coach Jim Holechek failed to dominate the rest of the city. But this may just indicate the increased interest in wrestling, as the Spartans usually wrestled up to their capabilities. The grapplers finished with a 6-3-1 dual record and had many high individual fin-
ishes in the three big meets-conference, district, and state. But failure to put any of these good performances together at one time kept the team from winning any of these meets. For the second year in a row, East had Lincoln's only state champion. Senior Chuck Stephenson came up with an upset
win in the state finals to take the Class A 126-pound championship. Other Spartans who wrestled in the state meet were seniors Marty Mccurdy, Glenn Miller, Dave Summers and sophomore Tom Str.asheim. Mr.r.urd_y at 167, and Summers, at heavyweight, both took Trans-Nebraska titles.

experience proves valuable to baseballers New this year to East High baseball was the formation of a sophomore baseball team . Head coach Rudy Stoehr stated the reasons for the addition of the sophomore team as the additional interest in the sport. " This year we had 80 boys interested in playing , but with just two teams only 36 of them could play. With the sophomore team we can play 54. We have the best potential we 'ye ever had here at East , if the pitchers do what they are supposed to do ." Because of a few weeks of nice weather at the beginning of the season , the team was able to practice earlier than usual this year. When the weather didn 't permit the team to work outside, it presented quite a problem. Mr. Stoehr commented that East High has poor facilities for baseball , with probably the most amount of interest. The goals of the team were to win the city , district and state championsh ip. Assistant coaches to Mr. Stoehr this year were Dan Jacobs , helping with varsity; Dave Hingles and John Henry, reserve team; and Larry Culhane and Jerry Schmutte with the sophomores.

Due to an injury, returning letterman Pat Lehigh could not participate in track this year, but the team still elected him a co-captain along with seniors Toby Churchill and Dennis Payne.

"Everybody's attitude towards girl 's sports is changing ", commented one student. The changed attitude could be attributed to the growing participation , and interest received. As one coach stated, " When girls's sports were initiated , the goal was to create interest of participation , and once that has been achieved you can work on quality rather than quantity . . . as sports goes on throughout the years the competition gets tougher .'' One of the reasons cited for the increased interest and enthusiasm for girls ' sports was that the " kids get better and better coverage in the Lincoln paper, with more indepth reporting . . . this kind of coverage stimulates tougher competition.'

Learning from problems encountered last year, changes were made on this year 's schedule , as weJI as the introduction of new methods of keeping score' durj ng meets . The addition of many new skill-bu ilding exercises also aided team members during workouts . Team coac h Debbie Ensz noted that the number of girls signed up to participate in the program had decreased from last year , but this did not seem to hurt this year 's team . Coach Ensz stated, " Although fewer girls began work-outs with us this year, the quality of players on the team was much higher than last year . Generally, the girls' basic skills had improved from l_ ast year and the willingness to work was tremendous .'' A home court advantage was also achieved with the " un ique" hard cement surfaced courts at East . The playing surface was notorious for ru ining tennis shoes and rackets . One member declared , "If these courts eat one more pair of my tennis shoes, I'll have to sell my racket to pay for the new ones! " This year 's team retained several experienced players with five returning varsity lettermen. Enthusiastic and talented sophomores were also welcome additions to both varsity and reserve teams. Coach Ensz summarized, "The balance of team unity and quality, hard-working players proved to be a useful combination this year for East's girls' tennis team as they became a major power in city and district competition.'

intram urals offers a wide variety of sports Playjng under the shadow of prep programs, East's intramural program enabled many types of athletes to have a good time in sports they enjoyed. lntramurals offered competition in such sports as flag football, softball, ping-pong, and badminton. This year's fall program of flag football was completely dominated by Moe's Effort, a team consisting mostly of seniors. Moe 's Effort finished its regular season undefeated and then went ·on to capture wins over Northeast and Southeast to bring home the city title. Senior Dave Roseland quarterbacked Moe's Effort, with most of the defensive pressure coming from East's fearsome foursome consisting of Curt Hedberg, Mark Ahlquist, Hoyt Nye, and Dan Crouch. Other members of Moe's Effort were Tim Stivrins, Pug Reckewey, Steve Gohde, and Randy Beyer. The basketball league was broken up into two divisions-the sophomore and the junior-senior division. The Crank Biters finished the season with a perfect mark and the city championship. In the juniorsenior league, two teams emerged on top with identical 9-1 records. Both Climax and Olympians made it through their initial contests in the city tournament by downing Lincoln High and Southeast, respectively. Olympians ran into a tough Northeast team, and was sidelined in their
semi-final match , while Climax nipped the number one Northeast team, 37-36, in their semi-final game. This set the stage fo r an East-Northeast contest. The East entry finished the season in second place
after losing the finale. Volleyball, softball, ping-pong, arid badminton provided th os e interested IA ith a variety of sp rin g sports.

Spring is the beginning of all life·. The renewing life flows throu gh every leaf of every tree. The desire for change is revived. Lingering in the air fr.om all the spring s before is the desire to be a part of the rapid changes occur ing in nature. New changes enter our lives, at this time. Anxiety is beyond our contr ol, with the prospects of summer ahead of us. We are happy to forge t abou t the long winter past. The rainbow, after a spring shower, is the certa inty that life will be contin ued and renewed ... the sun will shine again. The blue of the skies is more intense now, with the sun becoming brigh ter each day. Everything chang ing ... the trees no longe r appear dead but quite alive along with the greening grass, and blooming flowers. Parks and playg round s are filled with activity. Softball games, picnics, or maybe just a drive on a nice aay with the car windows rolled down, is what makes spring really spring. Spring can be considered one of the short est seasons. The trans forma tions lead into summer witho ut hesitation. Change is a natural thing and it is wonderful to be a witness to what is happening. Our attitudes are important; chang e has to b~ accepted, and confo rming to the new changes is essential. Spring is the beginning ...

Anticipation for summer bursts with excitement as the vacation approaches. The sun draws people out sid e closer to its warmth ; jus t as the sun attracts the planets. The warmth of the days absorbs all excess am oun t of energy, so that relaxing and enjoyment is all that seems significant. Whether a thr illin g vacation to ano the r cou ntr y is planned, or merely a ride to the lake to go swimming or waterskiing ; the activities of the warm , vacation months are someth ing we can always remember and cherish. Summer is our cha nce for a break between the massive changes of spring and autumn .. . a cha nce to con sid er what we have already acc om plis hed this year, and what we can do to make the rest of the year a successful one. Life is evident now. Everything is full of life ; the grass is green , the sun is warm overhead , the lakes and pools are shimmering .. . summer is our cha nce to become involved with nature; we can feel a part of tha t ma gni fice nt beauty , which gives us great reassurance and con fide nce in our selves . We can call summer " our time" .. .

"No year stands by itself, any more than any day stands alone. There is the continuity of all the years in the trees, the grass, even in the stones on the hilltops. Even in man. For time flows like water, eroding and building, shaping and forever flowing; and time is a part of us, not only our years , as we speak of them, but our lives, our thoug_h ts. All our yesterdays are summarized in our now. and all the tomorrows are ours to shape.''
