Ammons "It was the nature of the thing: No moon outlives its leaving night, No sun its day. And I went on Rich in the loss of all I sing To the threshold of waking light, To larksong and the live, gray dawn. So night by night, my life has gone." -William D.

Some of the most beaut1ful parts of Colorado aren't easily accessible. �• Windswept. The sand dunes of southern Colorado are a welcome change from the bustle of the city. As amazing as it seems, many stu· dents never travel out of the city . AI· though the incredible beauty of the mountains is only minutes away , some people find no reason to leave the luxuries of home. According to senior Daisy Clements , " There is nothing to do; the mountains are just a sightseeing place. " For others , the mountains provide a getaway from the stress and anxiety of the city. Veteran camper Eric Schranz enjoys the solitude they bring . " The mountains are pure and you can be alone, " he says. " The city is crowded ; up in the mountains there is room to be by yourself." People from everywhere flock to Colorado to see the high peaks, ski the Rockies, capitalize on great fishing and just relax . Yet to many natives, these attractions are commonplace. Junior Shaska Musikka believes the mountains are just okay "because we ' re used to them. " To the unmotivated, the drive to the mountains seems too long, but most feel it is worth the trip. Whether skiing in the winter or camping in the summer, the mountains of Colorado provide a welcome escape for those that are interested. ·Katie Schweiger OFF BASE The advantages and disadvantages of venturing out Photo by lan Franc1s OPENI G 3 �"I say that I accept the way I am But do I accept it so fully That I am willing to act on it To actually act the way I am I have to act the way I am now Before I can become something else We can't change But we can expand" -Anonymous Photo by lan Franc1s • Cascading down.

Those of us that live in Denver have all the advantages of a big city, yet when the time comes to unwind, the mountains are just hours away. Many people have special places where they like to go to avoid some of the stress of everyday life. Senior Mike Thomas feels that Ouray is one of the best spots in Colorado. "It's a little town in a romantic setting with little hotels and a big pool. " Silver Plume is the favorite hideaway of ju· nior Alethea Callahan . " It's in this old silver mining town where you can un· wind by riding the train or hiking around the old graveyard." To senior Rod Carter, stress relief is less than an hour away , in Boulder. "It's far enough away from Denver to be free of big-city pressure, yet it 's close enough to benefit from the advan· tages of a metropolis." Others, like senior Dallas Jackson, don 't even need to leave the city to relax . His favorite part of Colorado is his own neighborhood because he knows it and is comfortable there. Regardless of whether you need to ~ drive for a couple of hours or walk for a couple of minutes, Colorado has it -! all. GET AWAYS Colorado provides a variety of escapes ! .c ·Sarah Carter OPE lNG 5 ���"East has changed a lot since I was a freshman is it the gangs or is it me?" -Troy Alexander BUILDING ON SOLID GROUND Each year brings new people with new attitudes to the halls of East, as others pick up and move on. With this constant turn· over, change is inevitable. Evidence of changing times can be seen in the stiffer security on the grounds, the graffiti in the parking lot and the graphic drinking and driving pictures in the halls. Junior Charles Black feels that East has gotten larger since his freshmen year, and also more violent . Gangs are making their presence felt more and more, but all of the people changes aren't bad. There are also many improved student·student and student·fac· ulty relations . Faculty members Sara Hady and Linda Matarrese see many pronounced changes in the atmosphere at school since they began teaching here in 1967. "The stu· dents are noisier and there are more tar· dies, " noted Ms. Hady. Mrs. Matarrese finds the new student·to·administrator ratio a bit puzzling . " There are fewer students and more administrators," she comment· ed . In addition to greater school administra· tion, the district has recently begun com · petency testing to try and measure the success of the school system at educating its pupils. Though this seems like a good idea, many feel that this is a waste of time and money. Almost everyone agrees that the school has done a good job in changing to suit the needs of students and teachers alike as the world around us moves into the nineties. Popular opinion seems to hold that East will be able to maintain its tradition of ex· cellence even in a changing world . ·Sarah Carter • A sign of the times.

It's really stupid · dances are fun without alcohol." ·Shawn Rhie RAISING THE ROOF How b1g is the drinking problem for to· day's youth? We all know it exists, but how far does it go and when does it stop? Everyone drinks on the weekends, drinks on vacations, drinks at parties and dnnks at dances. The problem even exists at school. When one freshmen was asked how he felt about drinking at dances, he replied , 'I think drinking at dances is a good idea because 1t makes it more fun for a white boy that can 't dance." " It's not necessarily right or wrong, it's the choice the person makes, " sa id JUnior Lani Goto. This is another idea shared by many people If it is ava ilable and fun , why not do it? But IS this attitude fully correct? When kids drink they rarely th ink of the consequences that can come with it, such as suspension from school , arrest records and injury or even death to themselves or another through their actions. Junior Amy Klapper feels that , " It's not a good idea ." But even this won 't solve the problem Drmking will continue whether we like it or not, and so will drinking at dances. But mayb there is hope. Senior John euhal· fen makes the point that, " It gets better as you get older." Drinking at dances doesn 't seem as necessary when senror year comes along. One can have more fun with· out the influence of alcohol, and one's chances of living are much better. There ts no question that underage drinking is a problem. But many people do manage to solve it for themselves, and that, at least, Is encouraging Emily Moore • Lost in the 50's.

STUDENT LIFE 11 �"The ideal homecoming date: homemade candle-lit dinner at my house, a bottle of sparkling seltzer (of course), and a luxurious ride in my leather-bound battle wagon, Athena." -Jeremy Knight AFTER HAPPILY EVER AFTER Each year, the homecoming dance is a source of great excitement and anticipa· tion Unfortunately, students often find their expectations doomed to disappoint· ment and the actual dance is anticlimactic. But whafs the ideal? Here's what some veteran dance·goers had to say: "It's hard to actually have a perfect homecoming date because no matter how well you know the person, there is always that uncomfortable moment. Despite that, my perfect homecoming date would be full of good food, excitement and semi·con· scious fun." ·Anna Schocket ''Dolph Lundgren would pick me up in a green Jag filled with Chinese food and ex· pensive cham pagne. We would then dance barefoot in the Botanic Gardens to good music until the sun rose. From there, we would drive to the Eggshell and eat a large plate of hash browns with one fork." ·Shan· non Mussett "A candlelit picnic outside so you could watch the sunset. When the sun had set, we'd go for a walk in a field with a bunch of flowers, then we'd go to the dance in a Jag. Once we got to the dance, she'd dance with me, only me and they would play only slow songs. She wouldn't complain about the way I dance. After the dance, we'd sit down in front of a fire and drink wine." ·John Neuhalfen "Rather a lot of dinner, a nice car, a dance with music you can really go nuts to and after the dance you'd disappear into the night and have a perfectly romantic evening." ·Jon Drumwright ·Sarah Carter • Angelus antics.

The float contest during Spirit Week g1ves spirited Angels an opportunity to express th1s year's theme . 14 �"Spirit in itself allows for the individual students here at East to be creative and different for a day or two and not feel incredibly stupid." ·Nick Gibson THE BOLD LOOK Each year, during the week before the much anticipated homecoming game, East is in a state of organized confusion and fun. To a visitor, the school might resemble a college campus, full of college sweatshirts, a huge pajama party displaymg the latest in slipper fashions, or a convention center for all the identical twins of the world. By the end of the week, scores of red and white flood the school, proving without a doubt that this is indeed the home of the Angels. Traditionally, Spirit Week is a time for students and faculty to let loose and enjoy themselves. It is dedicated to straying from the conventional routines of the school year to gear up for the homecoming game. Lunchtime festivities such as water·bal· loon tosses, disco musical chairs and a parade of floats by different groups of sp1r ited Ang Is are aimed at drawing the stu dents closer together This allows fresh · men to get a taste of school spint and seniors to express their pnde in the school in grand style. Almost all students and teachers partici· pate at one time or another dunng the week . Creativity and ..chool spirit allow everyone to enjoy the week Without feeling self·consctous or inferior. Acting goofy comes w1th the territory as most students gladly seize the opportunity to show off the1r spint. According to Barak Akbel, "Spirit Week is a lot of fun, but I missed Pajama Day. We don't have that in Turkey." The unique school spirit and creative fun displayed by all during Spirit Week helps to distinguish and unite us as East High Angels . ·Katie Schweiger • Behind the scenes.

STUDE T LIFE 15 �"I feel cliques are good because they give you friends, but bad because people get left out.'' ·Michelle Newton CLUSTER BUSTERS Cliques are a large part of high school life. A lot of people spend a large amount of their time and energy trying to be ac· cepted by the right people and avoiding the wrong ones. Cliques are a good way for people to meet good, close friends, but they also tend to exclude some people. However, as students get to know each other better, the importance of cliques de· creases . Students are more comfortable with each other as upperclassmen, and care less about giving off the wrong im· pression . For incoming freshmen, cliques can be the most important part of high school. Being the youngest in a new school can be very intimidating, and cliques help people who are in them to adjust more easily. But they also make people who aren't in them feel excluded and uncomfortable, and many underclassmen spend most of their time trying to get accepted by the right group . After students have spent a couple years getting to know each other, cliques become less and less important. People start to feel more comfortable with a wider range of classmates, and those that aren ' t in cliques aren 't bothered by it as much. Everybody has either developed their own group of friends that they are happy with , or have friends in many different groups and cliques. Anybody will tell you that cliques are a big part of high school. But the happy truth is that as students get older, they outgrow the need to exclude others, and many people become friends with others whom they never would have imagined themselves being close to . ·Jared Boigon • Easing off the stress.

Never one to dodge a challenge, I accepted. I started in the lunchroom, not expecting much. There were only four people there, and one was not moving and beginning to smell. Holding my nose, I went to the South Lawn Formerly a popular hangout, the lawn was now completely deserted. "Psst," a voice whispered. I turned and saw a scared face by the wall. "Where is ev· eryone?" I asked, "Lots of people used to be here." "They were all scared off," she an· swered, "This lawn is the territory of...MR. OSNER!" No wonder the lawn was deserted. The eager administrator had carried his zealous breakfasttime vendetta over to the lunch periods, and no one was safe on the lawn anymore. I quietly snuck back to the building. As I opened the main doors, I saw two people fleeing through the south hall. Fearless investigator that I am, I fol· lowed them. I turned the corner into the stairwell, and came upon my quarry. As they noticed me, they vanished up the stairs to the second floor. I tracked them past the computer lab into a small secluded room: the Enrichment Center. "Is this where they all are?" I wondered. Sadly, tragically, it wasn't. Undaunted, I tried my last hunch. As I neared the parking lot, my heart skipped a beat. The cars were gone! Now all I had to do was wait. Sure enough, by the end of the period, my theory was proven. Everyone not on the esplanade was ... on their way. ·Jared Boigon • Warming up.

STUDENT LIFE 19 �"When I was a freshman, I had lots of friends. Now I have only close friends.'' ·ERIK GIBB A VIEW FROM THE TOP This one goes out to all the freshmen that were having a tough time this year. Suffering builds character · value this ex· perience (besides, colleges like it)! But this was the worst part, so smile 'cause it's almost over. You'll get older and meet more people, and get more real friends . People will care less about what you look like or where you live, and take more time to get to know you. By senior year, you'll be friends with people you wouldn't have imagined your· self friends with two years earlier. Interests change also. By senior year, you'll already know just about everybody, so going to parties won't be so important. You'll spend more time with the people you are close friends with. As senior Erik Gibb said, "When I was a freshman, I had lots of friends. Now I have only close friends." They will be more important than the people that you want to like you . Perspectives change too. By senior year, the prospect of "the real world" is actually staring you in the face. As one senior said, ·'You become worried about your whole future, not just college." A broad social life is less important and the stress factor sets in. You will learn to go without sleep to get done what needs to be done, but this doesn't ruin your entire life. It only makes weekends more valuable. So don't worry so much. Life gets better from here on out. Why, next thing you know, you'll forget all about this acute suf· fering you're presently experiencing. Of course, if that's the case, you should write it down now · remember those college es· says. ·Jared Boigon • Flashing a smile.

Notes change hands in halls and classes and are sometimes mysteriously slipped into lockers. Why this teenage affinity for notes? Sara Sui· livan describes her note·writing habit as "the only way I can stay awake in class." Others use notes as a method of breaking the ice in a new friendship. News of who asked whom to the next dance, what's going on this weekend, and what transpired on the telephone last night is exchanged with lightning speed between several parties. For those who don't choose to in· dulge in this method of witten commu· nication, notes can become a source of great agitation. Senior Christen Scheuren explains her strategy for deal· ing with them: "It's annoying to pass notes back and forth for other people, so I read them." Teachers are of two minds regarding note·passing in their classes . Some, like Alfred Metcalf, are unaware of its exis· tence. Others, however, like band teach· er Jerry Noonan, find it extremely dis· ruptive, "especially when students not only pass them but throw them across the room." Expert note·writers have honed their skills down to a science, complete with special methods of organization and de· livery. Sophomore Healy Smart advises, " When folding a note, fold it in half, fold corners over so it makes a triangle, and stick in the leftover paper." Note·writing has developed into its own self-contained activity. Like it or not, passing notes is here to stay. ·Sarah Carter • Giggling ti me.

STUDE T LIFE 23 �"Stairdiving is a dangerous exercise in futility that cleanses the soul." ·CHARLIE AMTER GAMES BEHIND THE GAME Football games have always been one of the most popular activities for all types of students. However, many students, upon leaving the stadium, would be hard pressed to tell you the final score, or even who we played. How can this be? What are they doing if they're not watching the game? Well, several activities besides spectat· ing occur, making the games in the stands much more exciting than the game on the field. For underclassmen, there are new people to meet and talk to, but upperclass· men are old pros at that business and are left to devise new ways of amusing them· selves. Junior Cecil Owens goes to the games to "watch the cheerleaders jump and the skirts fly." The chance to throw small missiles off the top row and yell down at people below draws a large crowd to the top of the bleachers. Another activ· ity that attracts the braver (or stupider) element of our population is stairdiving. This sport has rapidly gained followers, and ever·increasing numbers of people have taken to hurling themselves headlong down stairs into a crowd waiting to (hope· fully) catch them. Senior stairdiver Charlie Amter enjoys it because it "is a dangerous act of futility that cleanses the soul." It is not only a feat proving athletic prowess, but also providing religious purification. Despite the many advantages of stairdiv· ing, junior Malcolm Laster fears that "I might damage myself beyond repair." From socializing to seeping, football games provide a wide range of activities enjoyable enough to maintain interest even when the team isn't doing as well as we would all like. ·Sarah Carter • Getting psyc hed.

" The fifth told us he would prefer food . For a teenager, eating is not just something done out of necessity , it is a hobby. The first thing most people do when they get home from school is open the fridge, even if it' s not their house. We asked some students what they thought about various edibles. What is your favorite food? " Lasagna , because it smells like it tastes.

STUDE T LIFE 27 �·'When I see someone coming down the hall that I don't want to talk to, I turn and walk the other way." ·JESSYCA BRIDGES PROCEED WITH CAUTION Think about it· East has over fifteen halls, over 150 classrooms , and only six stairways. Nine times a day . five days a week, eight months a year. 1600 students have only five minutes to get from class to class. Bells ring, doors open, and students stream into the empty halls. The once va · cant stairways are suddenly jammed , and the relative peace and quiet becomes in · stantaneous chaos. It IS truly mtraculous that the maJority of students arrive in class on time, especially when one considers that the halls are such important places for socializmg. For students. the halls create an atmo· sphere not found in the classroom. The continuous chatter of friends gives an ami· cable buzz to the surroundings, and a famil· iar face is always just around the corner . Obstacles such as the "walking wounded " , slow·moving couples and Mr. Neuhalfen and his video equipment lend excitement to the students' races to their next classes. Inside the classroom , students find an· other fnendly environment. Course offer· ings from Shakespeare to auto mechanics and astronomy to dance allow everyone the chance to find something they like. Interaction with teachers, both as lecturers and friends. provides a healthy bond be· tween students and faculty. Group discus· sions , pop quizzes, final exams and re· search papers create common feelings of stress and relief for all. Soon however, the class is over. The bell rings, the doors open, and the entire stu· dent body is one class closer to the week· end. ·Katie Schweiger • Helping out.Fnendly assistance from sophomore Lea Chapman makes schoolwork eas1er for fellow classmate Marilyn Chamblin . • Deciphering notes.Senior Tim Beltz rev1ews his mfor· mat1on d11igently while preparing for an upcoming test. �• Reserving judgment.

Ignorance is our greatest enemy." -ZACH HOOKER UNEXPECTED COMBINATIONS Diversity: a variety ; a number of things of different kinds or qualities; a descrip· tion of the students and faculty of East High School. For over fifty years, East has enjoyed a reputation of diversity. A wide variety of cultures , religions and ethnicities combine and interact to create the school we know and love. But beyond the most obvious distinctions, such as skin color and social class , lie the real variations that create the special char· acter of East. Long hair, short hair, bald heads and bare feet, skimpy clothes, baggy clothes, athletes, geniuses, ac· tors, singers , artists, designers, high· spirited , carefree and goal·minded peo· pie all describe parts of everybody at East. Each student and teacher is a unique individual with their own ideas, beliefs, philosophies and approaches to· ward life. From gang members to chess play· ers , the East High student body has a character different from any other school. People from opposite back· grounds and from completely different parts of town interact directly in classes, clubs and sports every day. Even the cliques here are ethnically di· verse , with distinctly unlike types of people all partying together, regardless of where they come from or what they look like. Yet, the real diversity of this school comes from the many people who are accepted for what they are, not how well they meet the expectations of oth · ers. The many different people and groups here provide a place for every· one, no matter what their music or their vice. As they say in France, Vive Ia difference! ·Katie Schweiger • Reuniting for lunch.

What is your attitude toward feet? Feet are admittedly an impor· tant part of the body but only a few people like them . When asked to describe the ultimate in an ugly foot , some of the responses in· eluded: " white hairy toes " " an ugly foot is hairy and smelly and chalked with stuff for athlete's foot " " long , lanky , twisted and smelly " " any foot with over five toes" " having a second toe larger than the first one" " an extremely hairy one" " one with a growth of green, brown and orange organisms." Conjuring up a picture of a nice foot takes a little more thought but the results run the gamut: " one with an odor eater" " a nice foot is well groomed " " painted toenails" " tan and hairless. " There are two basic attitudes toward feet among the senior class the good: " Feet are awesome! Toes are a turnon! " " Feet can never be ugly, only sexy." and the bad: " Not even a French manicure would help some feet ." " There's no such thing as a nice foot. It's a foot's nature to be ugly." " Nothing you can do helps, ex· cept covering them ." The topic of feet is a debatable subject but no matter what you think about them , they do come in handy. ·Francesca Long • Stepplns~ In time.

Nobody is talking about anything in particular, just the latest gossip. All of a sudden , WHAM! , it happens. There is noth· ing else to talk about. Dead si· lence. Total quiet. This well known, too common silence is also known as the "seven minute lull. " Although not everybody knows exactly what the seven minute lull is, they've had it hap· pen to them . The " lull " is the si· lence after people have been talk· ing for an average of seven min· utes. When asked what they talked about select seniors gave such an· swers as the ozone layer, Jane Pauley 's future, Mr. Thalhofer 's mole, airplane trips and lem· mings. These topics are at least interesting. While nobody enjoys the seven minute lull , it does happen to the best of us.

Even if the existence of Pee Wee Hermann is fictional , the defi· nition of a fashion unconscious person was universally under· stood. The general consensus on a definition was someone who just couldn 't dress, with variations ranging from argyle socks to no clothes at all. As senior Carla Ho·A said , " It's someone who thinks polyester is still in ." Another view was someone who " tried to match their hair color with their socks." For those who had trouble pick· ing their favorite TV hero, many chose a popular alternative. For example, people who wore " cam· ouflage pants and Spuds McKen· zie t·shirts." Of course, there were always the Brady Bunch leftovers who donned " greenish plaid poly· ester bell bottoms and synthetic silk shirts with brown flowered prints." Another example was the Florence Griffith Joyner wanna be ' s who " wore spandex to school. " One of the most obvious groups of people were those who had " dirty hair, no deodorant, and a limited selection of underwear. " Sometimes a fashion uncon· scious person could be rendered conscious, but as in Pee Wee Her· mann·s case, the person was just irretrievably lost. ·Francesca Long & Kathy Jef· feries • Finger play.

For instance, are dreams in color or black and white, do they have sounds, why can people only remember one or two dreams when they actually have many more per night, and finally , what do they REALLY mean? Dreams - no matter how scary, humor· ous, or bizarre - are said to be formed by each dreamer 's subcon· scious.

Many, like Serri Friedman, identi· fied with or idolized the characters in the shows . Serri liked Scooby • Audra Quintana Hold on to the moments of love, for they will soon be gone. Treasure the memories, for they will last forever. Doo because she " always wanted to be Daphne." Others found the immortality of their favorite char· acterss enthralling. Nick Leone rates G.l. Joe highly because he " loved watching those guys get blown up in planes, then fall to the ground and still live." Most, though , simply loved laughing at the bad guys as our heroes battled the odds to emerge victorious. Cartoons still retain their charm for many seniors.

Going through the boxes in the base· ment, rummaging for remnants of past years is done by all. Most of the time, the objects that more people find are toys. Everyone had toys when they were little. Some have them even now that they are a little older. Toys are the mainstay of life and they also bring back the best memories. Remembering back some years, senior Arron Jiron recalls how much he loved to play with rubber bands and string because it al· lowed him to be creative. Most toys are remembered for their fun but other people remember them for their intellectual stimulus. Me· Iissa LaBadie truly enjoyed her Speak and Spell word computer. She said, "It helped my spelling and I had a great time too!" Though most people look back in the past for lost toys, many peo· pie still have the same toys they did as children. Sophie Moore still plays with her yo·yos, water guns, and toy guns. She says that they are fun and she plays with the toys along with her younger sib· lings. Some people have their toys of old for other reasons such as Ben Sulzer who still has his toy gun. Why he still has this toy is unknown. Everyone loves toys, no matter how old a person may be.

The old legend tells us that after Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise, a huge chasm slowly opened, separating Man from the Animal Kingdom. At the very last instant, however, the Dog leaped across the chasm, choosing to spend the rest of eter· nity with his "best friend." Still burning today is the remarkable bond between the hearts of man and hts dog. Together, they have moved through the years develop· ing an intimate, wonderful partner· ship. In the Dog stands an indefinable but unbroken pact of mutual trust toward Man. Beyond the hours of sleeping, eating, and playing out· doors are the seconds filled with infinite and unconditional love of a dog for his master. A wagging tail, perked ears. and a glowing face are all universal signs of love in the dog language. For senior Kia Kitsutaka, a sure sign of affection was when her "puppy pushed my four year old sister down the stairs with his tail." Today the dog has his honored place in the home. He takes on the role of the supreme guardian. Un· able to bear even the thought of something hurting his comrade, Dustin ...

Through perseverance and determination, they have achieved GPA's as high as 4.8. These academic speciaUsts not only have involved themselves in challenging classes such as College Physics, College English, College American History, AP Economics, Advanced Communication in French or Spanish, College Biology, Calculus, and Advanced Political Studies, but they also found the time and the energy to round out their educations with various creative classes, including jewelry, drafting and architecture, photography , mythology , microcomputer, philosophy, psychology, basic programming languages, and drama. Although these seniors have proven their academic success through their acceptance at prestigious colleges, they are still aware that academics cannot be a twenty-four hour goal. Instead, they have found the time to compliment their academic endeavors with many different extracurricular activities. These include yearbook or newspaper staff, the Bicentennial Team , cheerleading, speech, band, student council, lacrosse, dance, gymnastics, softball, soccer and volleyball. Many of these outstanding students also hold part-time jobs during school or are active in their communities. What makes a top ten student? After this year it is easy to see that there is more to the lives of these talented seniors than just grades and homework; through their creative hobbies and extracurricular pursuits, they have proven that they are real people too. Congratulations to the 1990 TOP TEN students: Britt Reichbom-Kjennerud, Brian Turner, Taina Sakagawa, Katie Schweiger, Martha Hite, Peggy Krendl, Elly McCarthy, Betsy Denious, Sarah Carter, and Gretchen Greer. -Emily Moore ''I'm not confused.

Walking around all day carrying those heavy books up and down four flights of stairs really builds up muscles. Passing periods can provide more of a workout than gym classes. The biggest books of junior year include the English book, weighing a mere four pounds, the physics book at 3 1 '2 and, taking the blue ribbon, the College European History book tipping the scales at a whopping 6 1 '2 pounds. If paying thirty dollars for it didn't kill you, carrying it to class every day will. It won't even fit in your backpack, so unless you can balance it on your head, your arms have their work cut out for them. It's good to know that if you don't pass the classes, at least you'll be in shape for a job in the labor field. -Tara Schoep Carmen Candlin Mysty Caswell C.C. Cawley • With a grin.

With so much going on, earning that magic 'A' takes a lot of dedication. But burnout comes easily with that much work and juniors find it hard to keep up the intensity. Motivation slips away as juniors realize that the bell schedule is a filthy liar and each class is really two hours long. They spend a lot of time staring at the clock to make sure that it keeps going. Each second until Friday night is far more important than the sine of 58.6. As the energy from their Coke and doughnut breakfast wears off, juniors fight not to become the drool monster from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

The most predominant sticker in the lot is the red and white ANGELS - three-fourths of cars with stickers wear one of these. Other popular stickers are of colleges. Many cars have unique stickers on them to express the individuality of the drivers. One of the best was one with the Tasmanian devil on it, and everyone can get an insight into Serri Friedman's character with a glance at her bumper. Whichever bumper sticker you choose to put on your car, you make a good statement about your own personality. -P.J. Leonard • Philosophies of life.

Juniors are swamped with homework, planning for college and extra-curricular activities. With only 24 hours in a day, sleep is a luxury juniors often miss out on. Juniors say they average about two hours too few of sleep at night and often find it difficult to stay awake in class. They have come up with several creative ways to get away with napping in school. These methods range from dark sunglasses to hiding behind upright textbooks. Taking a seat at the back of the room works well and mms during class are a perfect opportunity to catch some Z's. Most juniors say they don't sleep in class too often, but they do admit that an occasional snooze can help them deal with all the pressures of junior year.

Though they couldn't think of many romantic events in their lives, they almost all agreed on what would be romantic. The classic candlelight dinner is definitely high on the list, and one sophomore added that a homemade dinner by candlelight is even more sentimental. Flowers, preferably roses, are the popular romantic gift. For some, an exciting night on the town constitutes the perfect romantic date. This would include flowers and dinner at a fancy restaurant. A school dance and then a limousine ride or a tour through downtown Denver in a horse-drawn carriage would follow dinner. Other sophomores settle for simpler gestures of sentiment. Some are touched by a sweet note for no reason, a compliment, a smile or even an anonymous admirer. Though most sophomores haven't experienced many romantic situations yet, they know their stuff and will be ready when the time comes. -Brindy Braverman 4 On the prowl.

No matter how hard you try to keep it, you just have to tell somebody else. So you confide in another friend who does the same, and soon the story is making the rounds. Often, subtle changes are made as the tale goes from person to person, and by lunch time a very different story has become the news of the day. The saying says that ..good news travels fast," but it seems that bad news travels even faster. It spreads throughout the school in no time, changing every step of the way. 95% of sophomores said that they do gossip, and several agreed that anyone who tells you otherwise has another problem: they tie. It's hard to resist the temptation to show that you know something others don't, especially if it is something that the people involved would not be anxious to share. Gossip can take different forms, and sometimes you don't even realize what you're doing. Just keep in mind that what goes around, comes around. -Tara Schoep 4 Caught in the act.

Many sophomores turn sixteen sometime during the school year and get their licenses as early as September. Others may have their birthdays but may be unable to get their driver's licenses. This can be due to parental restrictions for grades, lack of money for insurance or time to learn on their permits. The sophomores who do drive experience drastic changes in their social lives. It is surprising how popular people with cars are. Those who don't drive spend a lot of time bumming rides, just tike freshmen year. Recently a new twist has been added to the driver's license. Instead of the traditional picture, all people under eighteen years old get a profile shot on their license. This will keep sophomores from pretending to be older than they really are. Driving is a big responsibility for many sophomores, but a lot of advantages accompany it, not least the incredible boost to your social life. -Andrew Givens • Asleep at the wheel.

This can be a good thing. but it also brings an increase in tough decisions about what is right and what is wrong. These decisions include drinking, drugs, driving drunk and riding with a drunk driver. None of these choices are easy to make. but they can be influenced by peer pressure. Sometimes students help each other to make the right decisions. For instance. most students don't think highly of drinking and driving. or hard drugs. On the other hand. certain peer groups may encourage people to drink or use drugs. Other decisions that face sophomores are more school-related. like ditching class. homework and choosing friends. These may be less obvious choices, but are just as important for the future. Even though all of these decisions are tough. they must be made. Many don't seem very important at the time, but they all can have significant long-term effects. Sophomore year is one of the toughest years of high school because of all the important choices students have to make. -Andrew Givens • Hitting the books.

They come to the first few practices in groups, getting rides from their parents. As tryouts progress, the freshman population gets smaller and smaller, as many find school and sports together to be too much to handle.

The biggest fear they have is of being picked on. Freshmen try to avoid this in a number of ways. Some practice getting the current slang exactly right, while others practice portraying their mature, adult side. Several freshmen said that it is essential to be strong to survive passing periods and play a sport or try to bulk up to avoid being terrorized. Still other freshmen simply try not get noticed at aU. We can all remember being psyched out by the side stairwells, and the fear that some bearded senior will kill you just by his glare. But whether through working out, hiding out or covering up, most of the freshmen manage to make it through the year alive. -Kathy Jefferies �Sinahy Ruiz Melissa Rul Elvin Ryan Zachary Scheuren Preston Schiefelbein Kristina Schneider Jill Schroeder Stad Schulz Stephanie Schulz Meghan Scott Sascha Scott Hiewet Senghor Ryan Short Vanessa Simsick David Smith Markelia Smith Enrique Soto Jackie Steele Bradley Stein Alicia Strathem �Katherine wan Shell y T yter Jenny Thomas Daniela Torrez Karen Trabert Brian Trudel Photo by Curt Orn<no Simon Valdez Venus Valenzu Ia Talitha Van Kampen Mik Vanya Justin Vean Chelsea VIgil Tracy Voss 90 �t The long and the short of it .

Many freshmen seem shorter this year than usual. We surveyed a few and found the average freshman height to be about 5'1". Do upperclassmen bother these mighty mites? Devon Jones answered yes, 'They're always messin' with me." However, there are some advantages to being short. "You can do the limbo better," asserted Mike Keegan. Freshman Shane Gieskieng was asked if it would be better to be tall. "No," he answered, but "built would be all right." Despite the size of these freshmen, upperclassmen should be careful. They will grow soon, and then they can hunt you down. Laura Wade Blair Warren -P.J.

Hired just before the beginning of the season, Coach Boyle instituted new attitudes toward practice and game plan. New strategies seemed to have an adverse affect on the team's overall performance. With a record of 5-4-1, the team qualified for the district tournament, but lost their first round game against Lincoln. 1-0. An inability to score goals plagued the team throughout the course of the regular season.

SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO Soccer is one of the most popular sports at East, among both guys and girls. Over seventy players went out for the boys team this fall, and there were only a few spots on the varsity team. The many underclassmen who don't make varsity are given the opportunity to develop their talents on the junior varsity team. The JV team is geared towards giving the younger players the skill and experience of the varsity athletes in order to provide for a successful future for the school team. Teamwork is one of the most important aspects of soccer, and JV also lets players get to know each other on and off the field and bind themselves together as a single unit. As the largest JV team in the city, East did very well this season, especially for a team with a new coach. Ms. Wink had a reasonably successful first season after a slow start, and her teams will only improve in talent and teamwork as the years go by and she gains experience. Hopefully, her teams will be able to provide a much-needed resurrection for East's once proud soccer program. -Nikki Pinson • Are you okay?

Precisely at 2:42 they began a study hall which lasted until 3:30, then they started practice. The after school study hall was a new program which gave the football team enforced study time before practice. The penalty for lateness was a quartermile run after practice, so players had an incentive to be on time. Our senior-dominated team started on the road to the playoffs with an opening day 28-21 victory over Fairview. According to Coach Tarver, the Montbello game was their best game, despite losing, because the team had outstanding plays on both offense and defense. " One team had to lose and unfortunately it was ours," said Tarver. Many of the players felt that the game against T J was their worst. Perhaps sophomore William Holland put it best, "Our team just fell apart." Though they lost in the first round of the state playoffs, the team has improved both physically and mentally. Since this year's team was mostly seniors, next year will be a rebuilding year, but our strong JV team provides hope for the future. -Carrie Peterson • Quick thinking.

Finishing with a 5-4 record, the junior varsity football team had a successful season. With an increase of eleven players from last year's numbers, all aspects of the game improved. As always, the JV team prepares players for the varsity by teaching them the skills they will need to play varsity ball. Players learn what will be expected of them and receive valuable advice from older players through contact drills and practices with the varsity team. This cohesiveness builds tradition, a necessary ingredient for success at the varsity level. Two coaches with a wide range of experience worked with the junior varsity. Coach Krous has worked with the football team for six years and Coach Riedel, who completed his first year, coached for the Blanca and Fort Garlan eight-man football teams which finished second in state during his tenure. With the continued commitment and enthusiasm, our football teams cannot help but continue their winning ways. P.J. Leonard • In a tight spot. A West player gets stopped by sophomores Lamarr Merriex.

Players must anticipate where the ball is going to be and be ready to return it. It may not sound that tough but it's very difficult to do in a split-second before the ball hits the ground. The junior varsity made this skill into an art form, finishing the season with an outstanding record of 13-0. Its best games came against Manual and Montbello because the team played well on both offense and defense. Coach Garcia said that the team's worst game was when they tried to beat themselves through mistakes against George Washington. According to Heather Barnholt, the team's toughest game was against Thomas Jefferson when "we had to play three full games" to beat them. The excellence of the JV was not a complete surprise. "I had a good feeling about this team," said Coach Garcia. "Almost everyone played last year, so I expected good things." With such a strong, experienced JV team, the future looks bright for our volleyball program. Outstanding seasons from the varsity can be expected with these veteran performers finding a way to win. -Carrie Peterson Photo by ian Frands • Get ready.

The team used all of their new talent and determination and made all of those long hours of practice pay off. Their bad record previously had caused team morale to take a beating, but self-confidence improved greatly after their victory. Coach Bates has been very helpful and supportive to the team all along. "It's not the score that matters," he insists. "If they themselves reach their goal and don't beat themselves then they have won. It makes them stronger people." Next year, Coach Bates want the softball team to have more support from the student body and be a greater part of the school "family". Hopefully, the team will be able to replace the seniors it will lose this year and establish a winning tradition for softball. Now that they have tasted victory, there is no doubt that they will continue on their path to success. -Francesca Long Photoby~EII- One-track mind.

A STROKE OF LUCK Though many people are unanware of it, there is a very successful golf team at East. They practice on a City Park driving range once a week and simply go out and play golf the rest of the time. Practice makes perfect, and the best way to improve at the game is just to play, not only during but outside the season. There are many summer tournaments and one can always go out and play a quick nine with a friend. The team had a very good season this year, especially considering that they had only two returning players. "The team is definitely better than last year," said senior Tyler Peterson, "We're more dedicated and serious and have some good, new players." Cody Tapia, new to East, was the team's only player to go to state. Though they didn't take districts, Coach Severtson was pleased with the season and is looking forward to next year. With the momentum from this year and the team's young talent, the potential for the future of East High golf is very high. Maybe people will actually have heard of them by season's end next fall. -Carrie Peterson Pholo by lob .JosTnon • What's up?

With the loss of Jenny Page and the seniors from last year's team, the job was left to a fairly young team of thirteen gymnasts. The success of this year's team can be largely attributed to team support. With team unity, the squad landed a third place finish in the city. A close loss to Montbello, 112.10 to 111 .1 0, sparked the girls on to a six meet winning streak. Before losing to GW, the team blasted Uncoln. With the injury of Jenny Page and a poor beam performance in the crucial city meet, a potential number one team dropped to third. Though they did not capture the title, the girls felt good about this year's team. "There was a lot more spirit on this year's team," said Jenny Russell. With eleven of the thirteen gymnasts having from one to three years of eligibility remaining, next year's team looks promising. Fortunately, with outstanding performances by Crystal England, Jenny Russell, Jenny Warner, Erica Jehn and Donyella Dardano, a young gymnastics team can regain the championship. -Jon Laster • Diving for the mat.

These athletes find that the sense of pride and accomplishment they get far outweigh the masochistic elements of running. As Coach Peters says, "Once your body speeds up, your mind will slow down and give you time to think things through slowly." To many runners, this means that cross-country is also a time to be alone and run off problems. This year's team consisted of eighteen fine athletes. Junior Molly Hammerberg and junior Usa Murrell were top runners for the girls team while junior Eric Schranz and senior Mike Babbitt were a great asset for the guys. This year's team competed in weekly DPS meets as well as the Boulder Cross Country Challenge. The Boulder Challenge gave the team a special opportunity to compete against some of the best runners in the state. The future is encouraging for the cross-country team. The many young underclassmen promise a strong team in the years ahead. Photo by ril<ld F -Nikki Pinson Photo by Tonio ero.-d • Intense pain.

GETTING INTO THE SWING OF THINGS Striving for excellence has always been the goal of the boys tennis team under Coach Thalhofer. This year they proved their worth once again by winning the city championship and being runnersup in the district tournament. The team started their title drive in late summer, with demanding daily workouts weeks before school started. Tennis is more than just swinging a racket, it is an intense individual sport that takes endurance, precision, determination, concentration and effort to be good, and each member of the team worked hard to be the best they could be. By season's end, the team was cticking like a machine. Obviously, all that work paid off in the cooperation of the doubles teams and sheer excellence of the singles players, as the team brought home the city title. Coach Thalhofer hopes that next year's team will do just as well as this year's. With all of the talented underclassmen and only three graduating seniors, Thalhofer has a strong base on which to build toward next year's city championship. -Francesca Long Photo by H<id Johnoon • After the match.

In their first meet, they beat arch-rivals Thomas Jefferson and Manual, setting the tone for the rest of the season. After that endeavor, they swam their way to an undefeated regular season record and placed well in the relay and city meets. Second-year coach Scott Lessard attributed the team's success to high morale, good role models and a positive team attitude. Team unity like this was remarkable, especially with the largest team DPS had seen in years, with 47 swimmers. One reason for this year's large turnout was the sport's switch from fall to winter, a move made primarily to give female athletes an additional sport for participation. Coach Lessard said that this was the greatest group of girls he could have hoped to work with, and one of the best DPS teams in a long time. This is especially encouraging because the bulk of the team consists of underclassmen who will return next year, an encouragement to keep swimming strong for future years. -Tara Schoep • Almost done.Coming in for the finish, freshman Meghan Scott give!> it her all • All de<:ked out.

Although records may not show how hard these two teams worked, next year's JV and future varsity records will certainly reflect it. Coached by Sallah Abdullah and Kim Wmk, the teams played their games on Saturdays. Raw talent made up the teams, but Coach Abdullah described them the best when he said, 'The talent was present, but basic skill and knowledge of the game was what we had to work on to become a better 'team."' When asked, Coach Wink said, "Talent was just the start; putting it all together and working as a team was the challenge we faced throughout our season." By the end of the season, teamwork became more apparent and whether their record showed it or not, their hard work did pay off. -Callan Miller & Jon Laster SCOREBOARD East East East East East East East East East E<1st Ea.:>t E:lst East East East East East East JV GIRLS 10 36 North 27 31 GW 24 34 South 46 MontbeUo 13 52 JFK 30 42 40 Manual 25 48 lJncoln 43 West 20 36 31 TJ 37 50 North 28 GW 30 18 62 West 51 Montbello 18 48 43 TJ 21 62 Manual 31 37 AL 21 41 South 40 58 JFK Eest East East East East East East East East FRESHMEN GIRLS 12 North 2 21 20 GW West Forfeit 17 MontbeUo 42 45 19 TJ 70 14 Manual 25 19 AL 20 South 22 27 32 JFK SPORTS-FROSH/ .N 121 �• Count it good.

A DATE WITI-I STATE The Lady Angels got off to their best start in years this season, acquiring a top ten ranking after first round action. They got off to a 9-0 start, including an easy win over a highly-ranked T J team. Experience was the key to their success. This year's team was led by two seniors and three juniors who were all playing at least their third year of varsity ball. That combination of their experience and explosive talent made a great season inevitable. This veteran team was ready at the beginning of the season to pick up where they left off last year, when they were the DPL Cinderella team. The Lady Angels were determined to continue their winning tradition. Returning coach Deborah Johnson-Graham commented, "The enthusiasm coupled with the desire and remarkable character of this year's squad were the most beneficial to the victories our team enjoyed this year." The ladies' character was indeed a necessary asset. Senior captain LaShonna Briggans stated, "Although there were only four seniors, we had the team of leaders we needed for our successful season." Successful is surely a title these ladies deserve. After all of their hard work, the Lady Angels' record stands as proof of what teamwork and spirit can accomptish.

East High wrestlers are quite familiar with the words "exhaustion" and "sacrifice." Practices are long and strenuous, but the wrestlers stick together and endure the pain. Wrestlers not only must be in peak physical condition, they also must be mentally prepared for matches. Successful wrestlers plan their moves carefully and concentrate on outwitting opponents. Despite all of the pain and effort, wrestling is very rewarding. Although it is an individual sport, team members rally around each other, creating a feeling of unity. Wrestling also provides a strong sense of individual achievement. "It takes a lot of hard work," according to junior Robbie Bonfiglio, "but it pays off when you do well at matches Six minutes of glory on the mat are well worth the all the hours of hard work. This season was a success thanks to contributions from senior Kobie Titus and juniors Robbie Bonfiglio and Brandon Rayburn.

By winning three state championships, including one undefeated season, the team has become a formidable opponent for rivals Kent, Smoky Hill, and Thomas Jefferson. In fact, the team's great success and seemingly endless flow of talent has inspired other teams to attempt to break the club up into two teams. Although a decision has been made to split the team up in 1992, the two schools remained a combined force for this season. With more than 20 of its varsity players returning, the team had the leadership it needed to make the season a success. The East contribution to this year's team was greater than in past years. Holding three of the four team captain positions were Angels Nick VanRemortel, Graham Harlow, and Eric Hagevik. Although the long term future of the team looks bleak, this season was a season to cherish. -Andrew Givens Photo by lan Frllrldo • Stick 'em.

As the season began, a bold Callan Miller bravely predicted, 'We will win state this time." Victories over T J and Kent helped them to sotidify their chances of reaching the state championship. One struggle that the girls lacrosse team had to face this year was that their star goatie, senior Shelene Richards did not play, leaving them with an unexperienced goaltender. To compensate for this severe loss, the girls lacrosse team united as a team, not only physically but emotionally. Despite the minor problems , senior Liz Washburn remarked, 'This season was a lot of fun and meaningful for me as a player." Certainly, the key to this team was their determination. But, in addition to this, a strong class of returning varsity players and a crew of able new recruits helped the team move toward the state tournament and a date with destiny. -Geoff Alison • Full steam ahead.

Their team play philosophy allowed the girls to improve their skills enough to compete with the stronger suburban schools such as Cherry Creek, Overland and others in outlying areas.

PLAYING WITH FIRE Photo by Heci.Jotwwon The past decade has seen many different coaches come into the girls varsity soccer picture. With six different coaches in ten years, it has been a struggle for the team to become the DPS powerhouse it has become. The ladies have visited the state tournament numerous times in the 80's and have won one state championship. For present coach Roland Sturk and the team, the future holds more of the same. The team had continued success this year, with the strong, unified, and enthusiastic play of the seniors and a solid crop of underclassmen. According to junior goalkeeper Kristi Overton, "The team will be more unified this year because of the winning spirit. My job will probably be a lot easier because of the talent on the field. With a new 4-4-2 lineup, we should have a stronger offense which will confuse other teams." Also, working under Sturk for the fourth straight year has made the year to year transition much easier for returning players than when coaches changed each season. Although the team has not yet reached the championship legacy of the past, this nucleus has brought much success. -Geoff Alison -Geoff Alison Photo by Heel .Jolwwon • Trapped.

Each year, fresh young athletes try out for these teams, but only those who show detennination and hard play manage to survive and fmish the season. Practicing every day after school, working with the assistant coaches, and receiving the opportunity to play in many games, the future varsity ball players constantly worked to improve their techniques as well as their play together. As they worked hard to prepare themselves for their time to shine as varsity baseball players, their time as junior varsity and freshmen ball players allowed them to improve their fundamental skills. As Coach Severtson said, "We have some young talent and with a lot of hard work, we should be pretty good." Yet, our winning baseball tradition did not come freely. It was the result of a lot of hard work and young talent discovered in the early years of high school. The strength of the baseball program came from a disciplined coaching staff who recognized the potential in the many young players and worked to bring that potential to its highest point. With the continued quality, the program can only continue to strengthen itself as the Angels maneuver themselves as the perennial stronghold of the DPS. -Nikki Pinson Photo by Eirly Moen • Snatch it up.

Constantly striving to improve, the team has a strong leader in Coach Tom Severtson who has led the team for the past ten years. His leadership helped guide the team to a city title last year, but with few returning starters, the team had to work hard this season to achieve the traditional winning record. There was a lot of ability and talent on the team, however, and they were determined to hold onto their crown. This year's team had to depend largely on its pitching staff, made up of Mike Porter, Cody Tapia, Jaime Alvarado and Richard Dowdell, in order to reach a high level of success with other strong citywide and statewide baseball teams. In addition, the team also had the talents of all-city shortstop Jason Ballow, who according to Coach Severtson, "is the best player ever to come through East High." To hold on to their title and achieve their goals, the team had to work hard and cooperate with one another to make up for the lost players. -Nikki Pinson Photo by Heather Vogoj • Whatcha lookin' at?

SPORTS BASEBALL 13 7 �THE WILD, WILD WET Although the men's swimming season was moved from winter to spring this year, the outlook for the team was hopefuL The season change was statewide, therefore every school was affected, but East expected to have a particularly difficult time due to the loss of several swimmers to spring sports such as lacrosse and rugby. Yet, even without strong swimmers like senior Brian Turner, freshman David Turner, sophomore Hardy Bodenheimer and senior Dallas Jackson, the team performed as they had in previous years. The dual meet season for the Angels proved to be a bumpy road with wins over weaker teams such as West, North, Montbello, Kennedy and South and losses to the stronger teams in the league. However, strong showings were made at the CHSAA Invitational in Ft. Collins this year by senior Marty Harrison, junior Mike Maguire, sophomore Will Robb and freshman Jed Glass, along with a medley and free relay. Later, in the city competition, East worked to improve their placement to third instead of the usual fourth. East's efforts were bolstered by the efforts of senior Marty Harrison and sophomore Will Robb as they made their way toward the state competition. -Marty Harrison • Fly, baby, fly.

This winning tradition is a result of individual achievement and team effort and cooperation as well as strong coaching. This year's team expected to build on this tradition, with the help of juniors Heather Wagner and Megan Garnsey, senior Erin McElhinney, and sophomore Siobhan Morales, who Coach Krous said is "one of the best doubles players to have come to East in my ten years here." These four ladies are the remainder of a varsity squad that sent nine of its ten players to the state competition in 1989. New varsity players, juniors Kelly Woodard, Amy Sanderson and Kathy Jefferies and senior Shawneen Curtin provided the new talent that made the team better and stronger and aided in continuing the strong tennis tradition. Early season rankings placed Manual and T J as the DPS teams to beat, and the team held their own in head-to-head competition. Since Coach Krous has coached the tennis team, he has devoted much of his time and energy to teaching tennis to the younger players. With his experience and coaching expertise, as well as the obvious skill of this year's team, the Lady Angels could not help but win. -P. J. Leonard • New horizons.

GETIING OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT Starting out with a positive attitude is the key to success. In his third year as head coach of the boys track team, John Allen set high goals for the 1990 season. With the help of his many returning state champions and qualifiers, as well as the talent of new varsity runners, the coach hoped to place in the top three at the state meet this year, and be competitive against perennial powerhouses Montbello and Rangeview. Achieving these goals took "a lot of hard work and luck" according to Coach Allen, but the team did well thanks to determination and the power of positive thinking. This year's girls track team was, as usual, one of the best in the state. With only one senior on the team, the next few years look good for continually outstanding seasons. Returning sprint champion Dawn Riley along with Michelle Honeycutt and Jayna Taylor should give the team strength in the short races while distancer Molly Hammerberg will help add points in the longer races. A clean, injury-free season should help to lead the team toward a strong season and a good showing in the state competition. -Francesca Long Photo by I'Sdd ~ • The lineup.

The baron clapped his hands and called tor the evening's entertainment. Upon the sound of his voice, a man appeared. The man was neither tall nor short, neither ugly nor handsome. His face had a striking familiarity about 1t though none present had ever seen it before. No matter how long the guests studied his face, once they looked away, they could not recall it. The bard took out an intricately carved lute and slowly began to play. His lilting melody stretched over the room and took up its audience, showing them faraway places and long-forgotten deeds. He gradually removed his hands from the strings. All that remained were the captivated listeners, and the lute, alone, continuing tile aria. Slowly, the music drew figures from the polished wood of the instrument. The scenes now lived under the mysteriously guided strains. Where betore the images had been merely pictures on the wall, they became as real as the baron in his chair. The melody quieted then, carefully lowering the listeners to the ground. The haunting tune no longer carried the audience, but danced away from their outstretched hands. Like a kite on a string it floated gently around the room, out and about the high, slanted windows, but inevitably returned to the deft, waiting fingers of the bard. He retook the instrument and backed like moonlight out the door, pulling three-and-twenty souls on a string. �Photo by Serrt Friedman Photo by Heidi Johnson �striking undertones ch~rdJ~oi MU RANE CARTER "I let my music take me where my heart wants to go."

Now, throughout the year, both in school and out, Thaddeus devotes many hours to perfecting his acting talent. including tap dancing and general acting. He hopes to make acting a career with highlights like being on Cheers, performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company and acting on Broadway. From taking lessons in the basement of Mattie Springfield's house to being a major force in the advanced dance program, Gretchen Greer has come a long way in her pursuit as a dancer. Along with constantly learning new techniques, she also expresses herself by teaching jazz to seventh graders and by choreo- graphing her own dance pieces. Each piece has an impact on her life, allowing her to express her feelings through movement and motion. Gretchen hopes to continue her dancing in college as it serves as a medium of self-expression and a definite "stress reliever." ��The Princess and the Frog One day a princess (well, of sorts) was playing in the wood, Thinking highly of herself As every princess should.

"Ah but sooth, how faireth my complexion be. I doth rival the rose with my delicate cheeks. My lips, my eyes, my earlobes, oh, they threaten all that is perfect. Alack, my perfection goes unseen. For none but those who haveth the perfect eye may regard my true worth." She was in fact beautiful. Many considered her to be the fairest in the kingdom. Th1s did not stop a fly from buzzing through her window, however. Shocked by this blatant display of disrespect, Princess Morinna jumped up from her chair planning to smash the abominable creature with her silver swatter. Much to her surprise. she fell to the ground, her leg having fallen asleep after sitting so long. This truly upset her and made her more determined to flatten the fly. Not realizing what he was doing, the fly buzzed to a stop on Morinna's perfect yet immobile leg. Unable to reach her swatter, Morinna madly massaged her eg, hoping to restore it to life. Meanwhile the fly tired of the maiden's kneecap and slowly progressed toward her ankle. "Oh, I hateth you! You wretched beast! You are vile and I am going to kill you!" The fly wasn't intimidated. He took off and flew over to Morinna's dressing table. "Come back here!" commanded the princess. The fly did nothing. "Hey you! Epitome of pond scum! I doth beckon you here. I shall kill you if you don't! ... or do," she added as an afterthought. Not heeding this advice, the fly took it upon himself to explore the rest of the palace and buued out of the room. "Wait!" she exclaimed as she hobbled to her feet, grabbed her weapon, and, flailing her swatter in vain, hopped after the fly. She followed him in and out of several rooms with the fly always being one moment ahead of the incensed flurry of satin and lace which stumbled behind him. By the time the chase had razed the royal library, the princess's leg had fully recovered yet she was still no closer to winning the battle. "Insolent insect!" she cursed, following him downstairs. "I'm going to squish you and mash you and behead you if you don't let me - umph!" Morinna bit the royal dust as she slipped on the marble. Recovering from her spill, she stepped on her petticoat and ripped it off as she stood up. Despite this and a broken nail, the girl continued her quest through the garden and the stables where she began her pursuit on horseback. The fly, still unaware of the chase, buzzed through the castle gates and out onto the road. Behind him Morinna was swatting violently while trying to control both her horse and her coiffure. She was so intent on murder that she did not notice a large body of water that was rapidly approaching. Realizing she was about to become very wet, she cried, " Eeketh!" and tried to steer away her horse. But, alas, the horse broke away from her, and she fell hair-do first into the lake. Most likely, Morinna would have soon grown algae if a passing prince had not noticed her muddy, but nonetheless perfect leg sticking out of the water. Gallantly, he flew to her rescue being careful not to get his noble face wet. Extracting her from the mud, with firm grip on her toe, he delicately carried her to dry ground. "Although thou art covered with mud, thy beauty charmeth my perfect eyes." he said when she was no longer unconscious.

Stupid figments of imagination. They shouldn't bother me. They do, and they aren't dreams. You wake up from dreams, even nightmares. My eyes are open now, and what I see is real. It started about 6 or ... 7 years ago. Blasted number. I was what, 7? I didn't know better but I should have. I don't know if I'm feeling sorry for myself. It's much easier than facing the problem at hand. It was ugly but I still took it. Some little warped figurine of a twisted man in agony from my first grade teacher's desk. The day after I took it. Ms. Hithers left. I remember watching her pack. She looked at me and smiled. It was hardly a smile, more like an evil grin. Of course I didn't know that then and I never would have thought twice about it now, except it's as clear as day in my dreams. 'Why did you take it?" the smile asks. I try to give it back. "No, it's too late now." And it is. Through the years I never seemed to get rid of it. I would throw it away and it would show up again. All the while I thought my mom had rescued it. I was wrong. Then about three weeks ago, I opened my art book and a perfectly drawn picture of it awaited my shocked stare. That was when I finally began to realize all these things weren't coincidence. Well, what did I do? I pretended it wasn't there; it didn't exist. The next couple of weeks I saw it everywhere. A twisted, screaming man was torturing me, or at least the power behind it. A couple of minutes ago, it appeared before my bed; it was bigger. I didn't want to touch it but I did. I quickly snatched my hands away. It seemed to sigh as if in an effort to breathe. It was pulsing with my every heartbeat. It glistened with human sweat. Suddenly its mouth stretched wider than any human's could. It screamed. My hands flew to my ears as tears rolled down my cheeks. It was piercing yet very sad. Then a vapor hushed silently out of its mouth and took form. I knew immediately who it was Ms. Hithers smiled. This is where I am now. My mind races with regrets. "Why didn't I just leave it alone?" 'Why didn't I tell anyone?" Simple, they wouldn't believe me. "Hello." "Go ... "My voice is smalL worthless. "I have the right to take back what is mine." "Yes," I whisper. "You." I scream. "NO! You can't! You can have your toy back; I don't want it!" She nods, not in agreement, but sort of a sick pity. "Don't you see dear? I'm a witch as you call it. All witches feed on something. I feed on souls, the souls of young people. Innocent. but old enough to realize what's happening. Fear is my weapon. The figure you took seven years ago was another child I was feeding on. When you took it, it corrupted your soul only a small bit, but enough. Each year it broke your soul down until you were vulnerable to me." What do I say? Do I just give in? No. I'll fight even if it means my death which is basically inevitable right now. "You wish to fight me?" She smiles. "You've been reading my thoughts." I mumble. "Child, I can read your soul! Nothing about you is unknown to me. You went an incubation period of years; you can't deny what you did." "Get out!" I scream. "It's payday." For some idiotic reason I give her bird. Her smile melts. She stares at cold and hard. I lower my hand and tries to smile but can't. "You'll pay." "That's right! Today's payday!" Why do I think humor at my death is appropriate? I don't, but I want to out in style, even if there's no one here see me. I look at her. She looks at me. She smiles. I feel my body twist and mold together The pain is unimaginable. I try to sc but no sound emits from my lips and mouth molds into the scream. I pray die, faint. anything but it won't help cause it's inevitable. �Photo by Laura Friesen �CONTRIBUTORS HOLDMAN FRIESEN BOIGON JOHNSON MUSSETT GAD LIN Se/Yv FRIEDMAN ~ JrJil(/v FRANCIS MARCEAU 1/r~ HAMMER BERG 160 THOMAS ELFENBEIN �get me out or here ..( 0 c ,.,, 7C ""7 c::>- Thank You ... get m~ out or here ~ ~ ~ ...., . for Not Lieki·n8 c The Walls ~ i~)I IJ()(I ~~ ~11\l ~I lilT VVHOA Ll~l'll1\l It's Always Darkest Before It Turns Pitch Black get me out or here I ~~ Go GIYIIII IUAI Gil HI i> ~0 f llllY y II w ~0 t ,p "-.Cj IUel II II get me out or he re & ) What do blind people see in rheir dreams? get me out or here WHA17 161 ���QUALITY IS JOB ONE Who makes all of those posters in the front hall?

This year, along with the usual ad campaign, Serendipity is working with the English and Art departments in an effort to get more students to submit their work. One of the staffs goals for this year is to let people know what Serendipity is and to get them involved. As one of this year's seven dedicated members, junior Nena Davis, puts it, ''I think there is a lot of creative talent in this school that needs to be shown." Every issue of Serendipity has shown off great work and has demonstrated the extent to which East's creative students excel. -Francesca Long • Serendipity. Front row: f'IIF. Rivera, Justin Kirkland.

Junior Kelly Woodward has a sudden burst of creativity. _, The speech team has been some:thing to be proud of for many years, and this year the tradition continues. The team is divid into two groups, advanced and beginning. BOth have been quite successful this year, ttianks to sponsors Judy Schwartz and Richard Nelson. Ms. chwartz na been the speech coach for four years and says, "I love it." Luckily, her students aU love her as well. Junior Ari Radetsky tates that " the coach makes SReech what it is. Ms. hwartz has really helped me a lot in speech and has made me more interested than before." The speech team meets ev ry day in two class periods, one for advanced and one for beginning, to fine tune their skills. Students perform for Ms. Schwartz or memorize their cuttings. The team competes at up to 28 meets a year, anywhere from Colorado Springs to Cheyenne, but the stud nts handle the load well. They compete at many different events, including debate, extemporaneous speaking, original oratory, interpretation and student congress. Speech is a great experience for aU of the students involved. It improves their self-esteem and abitity to deal with people, but most importantly increases their proficiency with the language. Sophomore Jenny Pious i a great example of this. When asked to sum up her speech experience, she replied, "''m peechless." �• Quick fingers. Angelus ponsor Jan Anderson types in the last bit of copy before the deadline. �• What a woman.

For almost seventy-five years, yearbook staffs have managed to reproduce an exceptional summary of each year and this year is no exception. The 1989-90 Angelus staff is composed of eight photographers and twenty staff members. Both of these groups are essential to yearbook production where cooperation is the key to success. Being on yearbook staff requires the ability to manage people, time and most of all deadlines. Uke term papers, most of the work is always done right before the deadline with many staff members staying in until the late hours of the night. ''Being on yearbook staff is a challenge," says senior Geoff Alison.

It's definitely hard work, but in the end, when you see exactly what you've done, it's worth the effort." Yearbook staff puts a lot of effort into creating something we can all be proud of, and more importantly, something we will be able to look at ten years from now - and smile. -Amy Fox & Callan Miller • Nose to the grindstone.

Spotli~ has been in existence for over seventy years, and "remains a tradition of excellence," according to faculty sponsor Mr. Rivera. This year's staff was small but hardworking with 25 students, many of whom were new. There were seven editors, each of whom had been on staff for at least two years and had experience as a reporter. The Spotli ht staff produces nine editions of • It's a deal( Shaking hands, junior Molly Hammerberg and senior Jon Drumwright resolve thetr conflict as senior Doug Johnson witnesses the scene. the paper each year, about one per month. Each paper ranges from eight to 24 pages, with the senior issue being the longest. The paper covers topics from school sports and dances to music to current events, with editorial columns and political cartoons as well. Each issue requires collaboration and cooperation from everyone on staff, especially on the days right before the deadlines when pressures - and tempers - run high. Meeting deadlines, scheduling computer time and, most importantly, maintaining enthusiasm is often a challenge, but somehow the Spotlight staff always seems to pull it off brilliantly. -Amy Fox �• The sound of music.

East has three performing groups: Chamber Choir, Concert Choir and the Angelaires . Concert Choir is the largest ensemble. They sing a variety of music, including gospel and popular tunes . Chamber Choir is a bit more selective and its musical selections are more challenging . They sing strictly classical music . It gives the more dedicated and talent· ed students an opportunity to sing more chal· lenging music. The brass ring for every singer at East is the Angelaires , a small group that sings a capella jazz. This year the Angelaires per· Photo by Alexandr tah Jagman formed at retirement communities around Denver as well as on the 16th Street Mall and at Antics Angelaires " takes a lot of dedica· tion and hard work that definitely pays off," according to senior Alex Murane.

It is made up of four separate bands , mcluding the Concert Orchestra, the Jazz Ensemble, the Concert Band and the Ad · vanced Band. The Concert Orchestra performed four major concerts first semester and two more in the second half of the year. The Jazz Ensemble also played many concerts this year, including Angel Antics in the fall. Both the Concert and Advanced Bands performed at the football games in the fall and at pep rallies throughout the year. Their concert season began in January and included many performances leading up to the graduation ceremony. Some of the band department's outstand· ing students included seniors Erik Gibb and Sarah Carter. Erik played the saxophone, flute, bassoon and clarinet, while Sarah was the first chair oboist in the all·state orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Noonan, the bands and musicians of East have earned a lot of awards and recognition . • Practice makes perfect.

Cadets learn how to follow orders. work as a team, and teach others what they have learned. The ROTC experience will help them in their life outside high school when they deal with different people and situations in the future. Some of the cadets' main activities include map reading, learning leadership techniques and teaching and demonstrating aU of these techniques to others. Major Bates, head of the ROTC department, looks at this year's program and sees excellence. Positively speaking, there are excellent cadets representing each area of the program. Joining ROTC is something that everyone should consider. As Major Bates says, "People should look to see what is on the other side of the door before closing it."' Approximately 75 students did look on the other side of that door and have gained all of the benefits offered by this experience. -Tara Schoep & Andrew Givens • Looking sharp.

"Drama is a lot of hard work," said junior Nena Davis, "But when the lights go down and the audi· ence applauds, it's all worth· while ." Drama is a time·consum· ing project. In the fall, the cast of "A Thur· ber Carnival" and "The Velveteen Rabbit" performed for an audi· ence of over 400. The musical, " How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" was per· formed in March . The advanced drama class participated in an an· nual favorite, ''Angel Antics" , and sold over 1300 tickets and also performed at a retirement center in the fall and for Second Chance in the spring. ·Kathy Jefferies • Gamma girls.

The advanced dance group, the East High Performing Dance Ensemble, featured young dancers as well as seniors. Dancing is a lot of work and takes a lot of practice to perfect a perfonnance, but the group's efforts paid off. All this year's work went toward two major in-school perfonnances: the winter concert in December and the spring concert in May. Advanced dancers were also in the school's talent show, Angel Antics, with an original dance, choreographed by the students. For the first time this year, the ensemble had a special project as well. They perfonned a story ballet for children adapted from The Little Prince, the story of a little boy from another planet. They had a DPS grant to produce the ballet in elementary schools during second semester which gave them the chance to show their talents outside the confines of the classroom. With the offering of beginning to advanced dance classes, students at any level have the chance to improve their dance talents. -Tara Schoep & Andrew Givens • Advanced dance.

JUMP TO IT! To many people, the cheerleaders are sim· ply a group of girls who show up at varsity athletic events to cheer the teams on. But the cheerleading squad has done a lot more than just leading cheers. They organized home· coming, raised over $300 for the earthquake fund, worked on community projects, orga· nized various pep rallies and led tours of the school for East alumni. There are many requirements for becoming part of the cheerleading squad. Besides being able to defy the law of gravity, they must attend at least 90% of the games, practice five days a week, even during the summer, have at least a 2.0 GPA, be involved in other school·related activities and attend cheerlead· ing camp. D spite all of the work, being part of the cheerleading squad can be fun and exciting. This past year, the cheerleaders have worked very well together and consider themselves one big family. They say that cheerleading has brought them closer together and given them many fond memories. ·Tara Schoep & Andrew Givens • Ready to go.

S 185 �BOP 'TIL YOU DROP Dances - an important part of the typical high school career. Here, we put on many dances throughout the school year. Homecoming, Morp, Sweetheart, Sock Hop and Prom are the perennial standards, with a few occasional twists, such as ''Where the Wtld Things Are" thrown in along the way. Getting a date to a dance is a challenge for some, a breeze for others. Junior Malcolm Laster says of his school dance predicament: "I never get asked, so I don't get to go to too many." Going to a dance includes tedious work like finding a date, planning dinner and figuring out what to wear. All in all, however, senior Bryan Holdman says that school dances "are actually a lot of fun." Despite the work, they're a great way to spend a different and fun evening with your friends. -Amy Fox • Three's a crowd.

English teachers try to make their students more eloquent in their speech and profound in their writing. and art and music teachers strive to mold students into skilled, expressive individuals. Yet despite the concentrated efforts of their teachers, some students appear to be completely free of professorial influence and instruction. Music is never good unless it shakes plaster from the ceiling. Artists' canvasses and drawing paper are replaced by the sides of buildings. Speech begins to slur until the only words that come out clearly are "dude'' and ''bummer". In spite of this, teachers tend to be supportive of teens on their quest for self-expression. According to Ms. Winterton, 'Teenagers aren't any more or less expressive than they have been in the past." Mr. Hicken agrees with this, though he feels that "more people seem to think it's acceptable to destroy or mutilate property (with graffiti) to express themselves." Everyone, at one time or another, feels the need to voice their feelings to the world. So regardless of popular opinion. slang. loud music and graffiti will always be a part of the teen experience.

A FAR OUT FUTURE Are today's students prepared for tomorrow's world? Technology is growing rapidly and despite its goal of creating a more technologically advanced life, advancements made are inevitably becoming more complicated. However, without a good understanding of technology, it becomes useless. Education and experi ence are two keys to understanding technology, and the high school scene is working hard to keep up with the quickly changing ideas. Here, our business, math, science, and industrial education classes help prepare students for success. Science and math classes provide the questions, answers, knowledge and awareness that keeps students interested. Our knowledge and advance ments increase each year as the products and medidnes become more complicated. The industrial education classes provide hands-on training and expefi. ence for its students. The business classes are the basic step to any profession. Jobs such as accounting, salesmanship and secretarial work as well as other areas require a business background. In order to keep up with technology, the business classes are now moving to include computers as a major source of learning experiences. With a little effort, students can prepare themselves for the modem world. There is a lot of opportunity here: it just needs to be taken advantage of. -Heather Wagner £, Nikki Pinson 4 Check it out.

One of the biggest problems facing our country today is our acute lack of global awareness. On the average, United States students score lower on geography tests than students from most other nations. In a world that is constantly shrinking due to advanced communications and transportation technology. Americans may be at a disadvantage because of our poor understanding of foreign cultures. geography and languages. As one of the most powerful nations in the world, the U.S. cannot afford such a substantial lack of these skills. Foreign language and social studies teachers. largely responsible for educating students in geography and foreign language and culture, have some ideas as to why this is such a big problem. Lack of interest and motivation on the part of many students, isolation from foreign societies and the self<enteredness of many Americans are a few of the reasons given. Some educators also feel that many schools' social studies programs aren't very globally oriented and are too dominated by the study of history. These teachers are quick to add, however, that changes in curricula are slowly being made. We are standing on the threshold of a new decade. As the U.S. ventures forth into the '90s, it is important that Americans move towards better understanding of the international community. • Hanging on!

Teachers no longer have an important role in society. Lack of respect and low pay make it difficult to find good teachers because the incentive to teach must come from within. The best teachers are those who care for their students and luckily, we are blessed with many of these. Most faculty members agree that the best part about their jobs is the students. Linda Hample, a special education teacher. says her favorite parts about teaching are "the special moments when I feel I have made a small difference." There are some drawbacks to the teaching profession, but as Kathy Fuller, an aide in the Academic Skills Center, says, "The experience of good things ovenides the negative things in a day's time." A teacher is successful when a student is successful. If a student learns or achieves a goal. a teacher has triumphed. Teachers also enjoy the dose personal involvement Departments such as P.E., home ec, ROTC and special education offer classes where students and teachers work on a more individual level. Kim Wmk, a P.E. teacher, says she enjoys "being able to know the kids better than in a regular classroom because of the atmosphere." Our facldty provides dedication toward teaching which helps to bring out the best in students. 4 Play It again, Sam.

Have you ever stopped to think about why some teachers act like they do? Recent studies have shown a link between zodiac signs and hormonal imbalances. Symptoms vary from sign to sign. Capricorns are excellent educators but are obsessed with death by torture. Libras have a tendency to throw books at students and hit them with yardsticks. Geminis swing between mellow, easygoing attitudes and violent outbursts. Taurus, the bull, is the toughest, only accepting death as an excuse for late papers. Scorpios are known for biting sarcasm that puts many a sassing student to shame. Those born under Aries have a tendency to bang the~ heads against chalkboards when stressed. Pisces teachers react to stre:ss by bathing in water fountains. Cancers are particularly into dissection, and when students are finished cutting up the animals, these teachers pin the specimens on the wall for the rest of the semester. Sagittarians make the best substitute teachers and can easily be convinced to write a pass to 7-11. Virgos are by far th most emotional teachers, bursting into tears at the slightest provocation. With these discoveries, steps are being taken to remedy the situations. In the meantime, students are advised to keep an eye out for strange behavior. Don't be surprised if teachers act a little off center - it's only their sign. • • Caught in the act. Math teocher Pat Ryan helps senior Christina Barela work out a math problem.

Olmono SUPER SUPPORT Deep within the school bowels exist a group of people seen only by a privileged few. Without them. however. the home of the Angels would be in sad shape. Who are these unknown but important people? Why, none other than the lunch and custodial staffs. The dedication of the support staff is phenomenal. Custodians arrive at 5:30 am and start their work to keep the school in tip-top shape. Their tasks range from maintaining the grounds to repair ing desks. But, their work doesn't end there. Custodians move furniture, clean the halls. classrooms. and restrooms, and keep the inside and outside of East free of graffiti. Certainly. the custodial staff is a sweeping success. Of course, the lunch staff cannot go without mention. Our lunchroom staff begins its work at 6:00 am to provide well-balanced meals for many a hungry student. Although cafeteria lunches have a bad reputation, the lunchroom ladies feel that one trip to our cafeteria would immediately dispel this rumor. Plans are in the works for the addition of burgers, fries and shakes as well. With the great variety of food available, the cafeteria meals are something not to be missed. Although the efforts of the support staffs are sometimes unappreciated. we would certainly miss their work if it was gone. -Bryan Holdman • Come and g t it. Feeding th Thomas and Naomi Crawford.

Do they just yell at us to get to class, reprimand us when we do something wrong and tell us the days that we can't have off from school? No. In fact, the administrators, headed by Mr. Tracy, work hard to see that the school environment is the best possible in every area: academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, social activities and studentjteacher relations. The administrators are here for the students anywhere from 50 to 70 hours per week. Too many times, students fail to realize that the administrators truly care for the students. Every part of the administrators' job relates directly to the students. Mr. Osner keeps the school calendar. arranges the standardized test dates, and coordinates the 9th grade study skills. Mr. Miles is in charge of athletics and discipline while Mrs. Celva handles student transfers and crisis situations among other things. Mr. LeVar is in charge of scheduling and Mr. Tracy oversees everything. With a deep concern for the students, Mr. Tracy works diligently to handle problems quietly and quickly while keeping disruptions to a minimum. He's here at 6:30 am and until at least 4:30 every ~vening, then attends school·related activities. The bottom line is that the administrators are here for the benefit of the students and their work enhances the positive atmosphere. • Kickin' back.

Though there are no 200 score bowlers, all of the members take pride in their activity. The competition is fierce. but the bowlers all do it for the fun of it. The Pep Club consists mainly of girls who enjoy egging on the athletic teams and hope to be cheerleaders, although Angel Portee remarks that "it gives people a chance to cheer and have fun without being a cheerleader." They performed at halftime of the homecoming game, and during a basketball game this year. Some members feel that the club needs more people, and encourages everyone to join. The Ski Club is more than snow bunnies and broken legs. It is a great way to get in some good skiing while meeting new people. They go up every other Sunday to different areas around the state. • Let's dance.

Today's Students, Tomorrow's Teachers is an unusual club. TSITs 13 members receive five credits a semester for tutoring elementary students four days a week. "It's fun to watch kids grow and learn," said Russ Romero. Nicole Bledsoe agrees, "It helps both the students that are teaching and the students being taught.· Future Homemakers of America is composed of 16 students that meet every Wednesday to discuss future plans. FHA members learn about cooking, modeling and child-care, and attend conventions on future homemaking decisions. Though one of the least-known clubs, Future Business Leaders of America is growing quickly. FBL.A members compete against other schools in typing, shorthand, job interviews, business and filing.

Every winter, a group of students put a lot of hard work into Odyssey of the Mind . Teams toil long hours to solve specific problems, then compete against teams at the city competition. They try to impress judges with the creativity and originality of their solutions. This year's National Honor Society encourages its members to be active. Meeting Thursday mornings, the group has sponsored many activities. Community involvement is stressed and charity work is required. Each year, the Chess Club begins anew. It may sound boring, but it can be exciting. "You have to think strategi· cally before making your move," said Anna Svaldi. The club meets Monday afternoons. MESA Club 1s used to expose students to the fields of engineering and science. It also gives colleges a chance to recruit students and offer scholarships.

One of the largest groups at East, they produced the comedy "A Thurber Carnival" in the fall along with the touching "Velveteen Rabbit". Later, they put on Angel Antics for record crowds. Finally, their spring musical, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," was one of their most ambitious undertakings ever. Easthetics is an art club in its first year. Its focus is to recognize and reward talent and help prepare portfolios. At weekly meetings, members plan social events and discuss new projects. Becoming a member requires nomination and submission of work. Key Club is a community service group. Sponsored by Kiwanis, its focus is on helping people. This year, members put on haunted houses, made puppets for the Festival of Trees and volunteered at the Parade of Ughts. Industrial Ed Club.

PEOPLE PLACES The East High International Club is one of the biggest in the city. It organizes activities to help exchange students become closer to American culture. This year's activities have included parties, a trip to a haunted house, ice skating and trips to the mountains. It helps make the time away from home easier for foreign students. "Ayudando a otros" means helping others. This is one of the main focuses of Estudiantes Amigos, a club for Spanish students. Many students agree that it is a great way to make friends and improve their speaking abilities. Black Students Alliance is a club started to promote cultural awareness as well as community service. It is open to students of all races and works to help students adjust to diversity in society. BSA has had many fundraisers this year, including pom-pom sales and Holiday Grams. International Club.

Students wrote bills and tried to get them passed through a mock legislature. Topics ranged from legalizing prostitution to banning Brazilian beef sales. "The role of the United Nations," according to senior Jeremy Good, "is to gather the patches of nations, and through them sew the thread of peace to create an international quilt of wealth and justice." Well perhaps, but the United Nations Club doesn't take itself quite that seriously. Members play the roles of foreign diplomats and represent countries in mock UN sessions around the state. "And besides all that, we have fun," says sponsor Mrs. Matarrese. For the second time in three years, the Bicentennial Team has won the state championship and a trip to Washington D.C. for the national competition. Made up of Dr. Morrison's AP Political Science students. the team must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of the Constitution when competing. All members participate in each competition and cooperation has guaranteed their success. • To the point.

'Yeah."' "And aren't there GANGS and stuff?" "Yeah." "Boy, that must be awful. I'd NEVER go there!" People like this don't know what they're missing. We are a school with a unique location. Its surroundings give the school a flavor all its own. Nowhere else in the city are high school students so close to beautiful parks, drug deals, great restaurants, gang wars, wealth and abject poverty. The excitement and diversity of its environment may seem overwhelming to people who have never experienced it, but those of us who know it wouldn't trade it for anything else. East Colfax gives us a slice of real life that most high school students may never see. An open campus lets students become a part of life on East Colfax. We've all seen the war vet in the wheelchair who buys cigarettes at 7-11 , or the woman who makes her living at the can bank by the Safeway building. There's always a cop or two floating around, and most of us have seen that poor dog hobbling around on three legs. As we move into the nineties, all of these things must be remembered by people who want to change the school. Students from East come out better prepared to face the real world than students from other schools. But there are problems here, and these will have to be dealt with as the face of the school shifts. It will be interesting to see what exactly is The Shape of Things to Come. STANDING STILL The high school dream does last forever. CLOSING 223 �"It is hard for us to take our leave and accept that this has come to an end. But we take with us a new strength, and we leave behind a part of ourselves with each other." -Anonymous • Watch the birdie.

The front range displays the beauty of a fresh snow storm. 1989 was a year that will go down in history. Not since World War II have so many large-scale political changes taken place in so many different countries at once. We all remember the massacre at Tiananmen Square - all of us except Deng Xiaoping. The picture of the brave young man stopping a row of tanks will always live in our minds. The sweeping changes in Europe will stick in our minds as well. The example set by Mikhail Gorbachev's Glasnost in Russia led to the Solidarity Party finally taking power in Poland, a peaceful reclaiming of the government by the Czechoslovakian people, and a French Revolution in Romania, 200 years after the original. And 1989 will always be remembered as the year the Berlin Wall came down. American troops accompanied the New Year into Panama, in an attempt to capture the dictator Manuel Noriega. He eventually turned himself in, after seeking political asylum in the Vatican Embassy where he was bombarded from outside by good old American rock 'n' roll. And this will always be remembered as the Year of the Buffs. Senior quarterback Sal Aunese died of cancer, and his replacement, Darian Hagan, led an inspired, emotional ride towards the national championship, only to be crushed by Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. The school year of 1989-90 will be one of the few that we will remember clearly. The ups, downs and international events have marked it for history. THE END CLOSING 225 ��SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT by Ari Radetsky Ah, it is that time of year again. The fact that you are reading this indicates to me that once again we have all managed to suffer through endless hours of toil at the mercy of your hellushounds (Latin for teachers, just ask Mr. Thalhofer). Also the fact that you are reading this indicates to me that you are in possession of a yearbook If you have been so fortunate as to have had someone sign this book, take a look at what they have written. Chances are that this very entry can be summed up by me right here, right now. What a great year, let's party this summer. Love, Mr. Creative or Ms. Imagination Is this what a yearbook is truly intended for though? A book filled with pictures of those that we call our friends, a book of our high school memories. In such a book, do YOU really think that "Let's party" is an adequate relation of your sentiments about someone? If so, go home and cry to your mom, because YOU have no true friends. Alas, maybe I shouldn't be so hard on YOU. Maybe YOU are just the typical lazy bum who couldn't find enough motivation to mail in your American Family Publishers twenty million dollar entry form, and now YOU have to live with yourself knowing that YOU lost your chance at winning twenty million dollars and a party with that tub of party goo, Ed McMahon. Such a person, like YOU, is also likely to write something like the aforementioned sentiments simply because YOU are such a lazy bum, and also could have been a millionaire who will now end up working for your mom as a nighttime trash collector. YOU just simply can't find the motivation or the time to write what YOU know YOU truly mean. Well, here it is. Here is your motivation, YOU big twenty million dollar losin', trash collecting, unimaginative, nonsentimental, unexpressive, Godiva chocolate eatin', bell bottom wearing bumbling idiot. These are the "best years of your life"* (*This one serves as a footnote to indicate that I am not making an unsubstantiated claim, rather I quote from noted expert, my former study skills teacher, Murray Douglas.) Do not let the friends that YOU have now have a simple yearbook picture to remember YOU by. YOU know as well as I that these pictures are never an adequate representation of a person because the "picture taking person" always says something dumb in an attempt to make you smile, but instead of a smile you end up with a look on your face like "get out of my face you stupid fool, before I deck you so hard that you'll be taking pictures with a telephoto lens for the rest of your life." Therefore let them remember YOU by your words, not your "''m gonna git you sucka" look, and don't let your words be simply, "Let's party." Make your words reflect that the years with these friends (freshmen, strike the s on both years and friends) were the best years of your life, and remember, by signing your name to what YOU write, sadly enough, YOU may be giving a reflection of yourself, and your friendship with the other person, that will be solely what YOU will be remembered by.

OM team goes to world finals Admiring their moose, Arron Jiron, Geoff Alison and Melissa LaBadie prepare for the world championships. • For the second straight year, East will send a team to the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals to be held at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, later this spring. Coached by Dr. Robert Marsh, thcOmitronic Humor team Geoff Alison, Eric Balay ,ArronJiron,Mclissa LaBadie and Hersh Gil bert, placed first atthc state O.M. competition, qualifying them for the Finals competition. The "long term" problem was to build a robot that would portray certain reactions, then incorporate it into a humorous skit. To solve the problem, the team built a mooschead trophy, hung on the walJ of an old western saloon, which made wisecracks and told jokes throughout the skit. AIJ four of the O.M. teams advanced to the state competition from the district competition, the most ever from East. Although these teams did wclJ in their competitions, they did not qualify for the world finals. Competitors on these teams included Classics Team B (second place): Amy Canavan, Karin Klee, Brad Stein, Chelsea Vigil, Laura Wade and Jocelyn Anjo; Geographic Odyssey (sixth place): MolJy Murphy, Dana Hawkins, Tim Threlkeld, Schuyler Thompson, Michael Babbitt and Curt Gimeno; Classics Team A (eighth place): Beth Rousses, Sara Langer, Molly Murphy, Anna Graham and Betsy Hussong. Odyssey of the Mind-a program that truly takes its students on a journey through their mental resources. Bicentennial competitors win Rocky Mountain regional award On May 8, the bicentennial team returned from the national competition in Washington, D.C., winners of the Rocky Mountain Reg10nal Award. The team was comprised of members of Dr. Morrison's AP Government and Politics class and had already competed twice to win the district and ·tate championships. The competition itself focuses on aspects of the Constitution and each of the thirty-three students were required to speak on constitutional is ucs both past and present. In Washington, the team competed against 43 other state champions and ended up placing in the top 15, though they were not in the final ten. All the students felt positive about the team's performance. Planning a trip to Washington, D.C. for thirty-three students was not an easy task. The money for the trip was raised through f undraising by the team and numerous donations from patrons. The team started the fundraising in January and held a candy sale, a car wash, and a reception. Enough was raised so that the whole trip was covered for each of the students and their chaperones. The regional award was presented to the team in recognition of its outstanding performance in the two days of preliminary competition. Team member Andrew Elfen- bein expressed his feelings upon hearing about the award like this, "We had egos, we had attitudes, we had a lack of publicity, we had a day named after us from the mayor and we had Dr. Morrison. How could we lose?" Even though the students did not return with a national victory, the experience proved that East students can hold their own with other suburban educational institutions and survive the rigors of the difficult Constitutional knowledge that goes along with this competition. As the second team to win this competition, the tradition has been set for other groups of students to show their knowledge and to bring back a national victory sometime in the future. East speech trio qualifies for nationals As a whole, the East High speech team completed one of its most successful seaons with strong showings in the city, state and national qualifying meets. The team successfully defended its championship at the DPS meet, well ahead of the second place school. The students won city titles in four different events: performances by Jon Drumwright and Ken Kervcrin duct, Anna Svaldi and Britt Rcichborn-Kjennerud in C-X, Molly Hammcrberg in humor and Jared Boigon in extemp. Strong performances by John Maher (3rd in poetry), Steve Kerver and Singh Maher (3rd in duet), and Justm Kirkland and Hersh Gilbert(3rdin CX) also helped wrap up the city championship. Our spcechies did well at the state meet too, with Jon Drumwright and Ken Kervcr going to semifinals and Erin Hottenstein placing 4th in the state in original oratory. Finally, the Angels finished the year strong at the national qualifying meet. Molly Hammerberg and the C-X team of Britt Reichborn-Kjenncrud and Anna Svaldi will be competing in nationals in California in June. Ken Kcrver is the Rocky Mountain region's first alternate in humor. Both Max Smerling and Jared Boigon broke to semifinals at national quais in humor and international extemp respectively. Speech coaches Judy Schwartz and Richard Nelson worked diligently to prepare the team for their successes and the quality of the speech program continually showed through. Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud and Molly Hammerberg are two of the three national speech qualifiers. Not pictured Is Anna Svaldl. �Track quintet, men's lacrosse taste success East athletes who compete In tennis, lacrosse and track show their competitive spirit against their opponents. Against Mitchell in the state qualifying game, senior Martha Hlte controls the ball against her opponent. At right, catcher Jay Yean readies himself for a pitch from Mike Porter. Throughout the girls track season, outstanding performances were consistently recorded by Dawn Riley, Jayna Taylor, Monique Sylvain, Aorence Adu and Helen Otil. Disappointingly, the 400 m relay with Dawn Riley, Tara Doublin, Jayna Taylor and Monique Sylvain dropped the baton at state and failed to finish. One of the strongest, most con is tent sports traditions has been established by the East/ Manual men's lacrosse team. During their undefeated season, the team had their toughest competition from South and Kent. Otherwise, the team dominated the competition. Once again, the team looks toward the state championships at the Stutler Bowl on Friday, May 25. �!Page 3 Spring sports athletes sparkle Although injuries once again plagued the rugby team, its4-1-1 record indicated a high level of success. A few days before participating in the state competition, senior John Neuhalfen stated, "Well...even though this year was marked by snow days and cancellations, I still think East rugby showed its dominating force in Colorado's league." Although the team's motivation diminished with an unfortunate first round loss to Cherry Creek and the two other place-deciding games to Regis and Colorado Springs, Rich Olivas and Grant Ogden were named outstanding players and played on the all-state team. Overall, the success of the East/Manual girls !aero se team depended upon teamwork and the experienced leadership of captains Callan Miller and Lucy Benedict who also led the team in coring. After a los to CA, the team moved successfully toward its goal-the championship-where they met and defeated Colorado Academy in the May 12 state final. The traditionally successful girls soccer team continued their run toward the state championship by winning the league, going undefeated throughout the season. Many members of this team have worked together for four years to reach success. The first step, a qualifying match against Mitchell, put the Angels against Mitchell's strong defense. A 2-0 victory moved the Angels into a quarterfinal game against Evergreen. This game, a 1-0 loss, put the Angels in a di ffieult position ac; they were unable to score against a tough Evergreen defense. Th1s defeat once again halted the Angels a<; they continued to work toward the state championship, a goal that has been elusive since 1983. For the boys' swim team, the change of seasons from winter to spring proved beneficial as they successfully accomplished an undefeated season in dual meet competition and won the city championships. swimming, track or lacrosse, they alwa_}s show their competitiH spirit in upholding the traditions established in every sport. s GIRLS BASKETBALL· state quarterfinals, lost to Fairview; all city honors: first team- Callan Miller, Susie Overton, Kristi.

East Earth Day events involve preservation of planet This year's Earth Week activttics were added to the ever busy East schedule. The focus of the differcntcvcnts revolved around the preservation of the earth. Throughout the week, representatives from different groups, such as theE.P.A., displayed information on the esplanade at lunch. Recycling of cans and boulcs was practiced throughout the week and Earth Day t-shirts were sold in order to raise money. Voluntary assemblies educating students on protecting the environment were held in addition to the other activities. The Earth Week activities were only a small portion of the activities throughout the city, state and nation. In and around Denver there were many events, including tree planting, cleanup efforts, rallies, and recycling. Although there were many activities during Earth Week, the real focus of the efforts was on the following Sunday, Earth Day. An array of activttics on Earth Day lasted from morning to night. There were three rallies in City Park alone including a rally allcnded by local politicians. Fortunately, the activities seemed to have quite an impact on the student body as well as the town. If the students didn ' t already know of the problems such as litter, the ozone layer, and radioactive waste, they learned about the problems and some of the solutions. Although the pollution caused by this society is sttll great, now the people arc more educated and more environmentally con cious. We can only hope that the excitement generated by the Earth Week activities will continue for years to come. Art/Drawing Club goes 'Easthetics' after breakfast meeting One of the newest additions to clubs this year started when Vem Wilson, an art teacher and the club's sponsor, called a breakfast meeting. He invited many of the art students from Drawing and Painting, Commercial Art, Jewelry, Ceramics and Photography classes. The meeting proved to be a success with most of the students showing interest in forming such a club. The name, Easthctics, seems a bit strange for an art club until its background is understood. Deriving from the word aesthetics, meaning displaying beauty, the club plans to get not only art students, but non-art students involved in art and the appreciation of beauty. One of the major projects for the club was an exhibit of quality student art. Under the direction of the club's sponsor, Mr. Wilson, the president, Erin McElhinney and vice president, Vanessa Perez, the first art show successfully opened April2 and ran through April 6. With approximately 100 pieces of jewelry, flat work, pottery and photographs entered, the outside judges had their work cut out for them. They selected Malcolm Gay's ceramic pollery as the first place winner, Michael Gadlin's artwork as second place, and Alex Lcncicki's works in third place. With such a successful showing in its first year, the club hopes that this competition will become an annual event, receiving even more participation in years to come. The club is al o considering sponsoring a selling show where many of our fine arti ts wtll be able to how their work in the gallery of the art department, located at the south end of the building on first floor. �!Page 5 Spring Supplement I Hammerberg, Short elected to lead East student body Although there were losers in the 1990 student council elections, all participants were winners in their courage and hard work throughout their spring campaigns. In a number of close races, next year's council will consist of the following members: SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS- Ryan Short, president; Topher Lewis, vice-president; Tom Mejia, secretary/treasurer; Blair Warren and Elizabeth Jones, female representatives; and Mike Mangino and David Turner, male representatives. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS- Max Smerling, president; Mike McCartt, vice-president; David Eastlund and David Singer, secretary/treasurer; Jenny Werner, EricaJehn and Ali Pass, female representatives; and Chris Drumwright and Aaron Alpert, male representatives. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERSBen Linas, president; Rick Overby, vicepresident; Erin Hottenstein and Lani Goto, secretary/treasurer; Lisa Murren and Niche11e Tarver, female representatives; and Damon Finley and Sam Ziegler, male representatives. HEAD BOY-Jeff Short. HEAD GIRL-Mo11y Hammerberg. Six officers will be selected to attend this summer's leadership camp,a camp designed to discover the best way our student council can run our school. The main goal of next year's council is to be open and to involve the students. One way of involving the students is through the third hour representa- tives. This gives students the chance to reveal their thoughts and feelings to our board. The council will be talking and working with every student as the dream, for -all school officers, Jeff Short and Mo11 y Hammerbcrg, is to get East recognized for its positive aspects. Our head boy and girl also want to bring a more responsible appearance and reputation to East; in order to accomplish this task, they plan to become more involved in community service. With an enormous smile, Molly Hammerberg states her goal, "I want to give East a better image in both the eyes of the students and of the community. Hard work and dedication from all elected officers should result in the successful accomplishment of these goals. Students show spirit, enthusiasm during Spirit Week activities Spirit week-the annual spring activity, held this year during the week of April 30May4, enabled students to show their enthusiasm and spirit. With the creative daily themes of East insignia day, patriotic day, class unity day and crazy red and white day, students were encouraged to participate. Instead of the traditional toga, disco inferno and twin days, student council wanted to make it easier for students to become a part of the week's activities. However, because of bad weather, spirit week got off to a slow start. Monday, students were supposed to wear clothing with an East insignia. Scheduled as the lunchtime activity on the esplanade was a three-legged race, but because of the weather, participation was at a minimum. Tuesday, the ha11s were full of red, white and blue for patriotic day. Students participated in a baBoon pop relay during lunch. Thursday, students showed off their class spirit and unity as freshmen wore solids, sophomores wore stripes, juniors wore plaids and seniors wore polka dots. A $20 prize was awarded for the most decorated car during the lunchtime activity. To top off spirit week, student council declared Friday as crazy red and white day. A pizza party was awarded to the third hour class with the most spirit in the school. The culmination of the week and its actiVIties revolved around the renovation ofNight at Old Ea. t, a combination talent show/ carn1val. From 6:30 to 7:30, students were treated to the talents of their peers and from 7:30-8:45, all in attendance moved to the cafeteria to partake in the carnival booths arranged by all oftheclassesandmanyofthe clubs. Popular booths included the sponge throw, sponsored by the tennis team and the marriage booth, sponsored by the sophomore class. Those who were hungry feasted on burritos and sopapillas, provided by the Estudiantes Amigos and ribs, hot links and cannolis, provided by the Lettermen's CI ub. For those who participated, spirit week provided a fun week of dress days and activities, symbolic of the beginning of the end of another school year. Audience determines East's best bodies after contest On April 27, the first "I've Got the Body Contest" was held. Organized and hosted by Coach Tarver, this contest was designed to allow students to show off their body shapes through a practiced routine and performance. Originally, third period teachers were asked to give names of potential candidates to Coach Tarver. However, when he received no responses, he went out and recruited students himself. A contestant had no other requirements other than a good diet, a consistent ex ere 1se program and good overall health. Although some of the contestant. were from Tarver's weightlifting class, it wasn't a requirement. On the night of the contest, judges Loretta Riley, Kim Wink and Carrie Spears graded each contestant on his/her shape, routine, performance and acceptance of the crowd. Contestants who included freshmen Brian Bernard, Ashley Forbes, Kadibba Likely and Simone Valdez, sophomores Bobby Collins and Marsha Ortega, juniors Torrez Jackson, Anthony Kee, Johnny Jones, Donovan Robnett, Stacia Bridges and Niche11e Tarver, and seniors Cassie Lindsey, Carl Daniels, Rodney Utley, Matt Basky, Mesan Williams, Kobie Titus, Cornelius Lee, Troy Alexander, Rimisa Likely, Ramona Benson, Bridgett Moody, Desiree Sayles and Stacie Smith, chose their own music and performed routines created under the watchful eye of Coach Tarver. Contestants were also assis ted by a tape they were shown prior to the contest. The first place winners, Brian Bernard, Simone Valdez, Bobby Collins, Marsha Ortega, Donovan Robnett, Stacia Bridges, and Mesan Williams received a trophy while the rest of the participants received medals.

River trip presents fun, challenges for students This spring, nineteen students will accompany Mr. Bloomfield and Mr. Keiser on the annual river trip. In late May, students will spend five days experiencing the beautiful outdoors and excellent rafting of theY ampa and Green Rivers in Dinosaur National Monument. The route of the river trip includes approximately 70 miles of spectacular scenery, canyons, cliffs and lots of white water. One of the most famous rapids, Warm Springs, is included in the trip. It is the biggest rapid in Colorado and one of the biggest in the western United States. The scenery along the trip is breathtaking. Canyon walls rise half a mile high with cliffs towering 1000 feet above the river. During the trip, students camp out and prepare their own food. Meals arc planned in advance and shopping is completed in Denver before the trip. Other activities arc planned in addition to the rafting. A favorite campsite for students isJ oan 's Hole which is complete with Indian pictographs and a swimming hole. At the end of the trip, the group will visit Dinosaur Quarry in Dinosaur National Monument. Thccostofthc trip is relatively low at$130. Since the school owns its own boats, the cost is greatly reduced. The per person cost is about one-fourth the cost of a similar commercial trip and much more fun. The trip, an annual event since 1967, gives students the experience of five days on a raft, making them realize that they can do more for themselves than they thought. As a modified Outward Bound experience, students learn and grow from the challenges and stresses they are faced with. Most importantly, however, they have a great time. On Friday, April 20, the sophomore class studcntcouncilputonanew,all-school,end of the year dance. In replacement of the traditional Night Club dance, this year's II Hype at the Apollo was a new twist. They changed the theme because previous attcndance at the Night Club dances had been declining. "The N1ght Club dance had become notorious around the school," said Erica Jchn, a member of this year's sophomore council. The change did help the tumout some, but there was no drastic hike in the attendance. Most people had the same rcsponsc. Senior LaShonna Briggans thought, "The music was old, and there weren't enough people there; it's not like Morp or homecoming. I think people need dates or rented dances to in pire them to come." D.J. 'd by Aces, there was a variety of music played throughout the evening. Junior Stacia Bridges said, "He played a lot of oldies but goodies, and they were fun to dance to." This year, mstcad of royalty or performanccs, the sophomores had a "best butt" contest. Two contestants from each class were selected by their peers to participate. In separate competitions, the candidates were judged by the senior council and the applause of the audience. The ftrsl year winners? senior Matt Basky and freshman Christy McMann. When asked about the contest, Jenny Pious explained, "I think it helped the turnout. People were psyched for the contest and everybody got to be involved." But on the other side, one of the contestants, Maria Phoenix said, "It was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done!" Overall, the II Hype dance accomplished what it set out to do. The sophomores saw a better turnout and mostly positive reactions. For an end of the year dance, II Hype wrapped things up well and set a new base for next year. Senior projects culminate advanced drama class activities for year After the curtain closes on the last night of the musical, one may ask what there is left to do for the aspiring actor or actress at East. For some, the answer is participating in Senior Projects. Senior Projects arc the culminating theater experiences of the school year. They are 1020 minute pieces chosen, cast by, and directcd by seniors in the drama department. They arc not required projects, but each year, several seniors choose to participate. Six years ago when Mr. VanEpps began his carccr at East, the "tradition" of Senior Projects began. "The kids need the cxpericncc," says Mr. VanEpps. Now, with the new Attic Theater built, drama students of every level get experience directing pieces. All in all, though, Senior Projects arc some ofthemostinteresting.Seniorstendtochoose pieces that challenge their directing abilities as well as the talents of the actors. "It's a chance to direct something I've always wanted to do." says senior Alysia Tate. "It's thcftrsttimel'veeverdirectedandit'sgreat that Mr. VanEpps is giving us the chance to do this." Students also appreciate the opportunity to actin the projects. Every student that participates in Senior Projects gains not only the satisfactionofputtingtogcthcrasatisfactory theater piece, but also the experience that lasts a lifetime. �Carroll helps East with Broadview Foundation When a professional basketball player has the opportunity to pay back the educational system that helped him through his high school years, he docs. This is exactly what Joe Barry Carroll, current member of the Denver Nuggets basketball team has done. About two years ago, Carroll decided he wanted to do something to help students make it through their high school years and have a little incentive when they graduated. Thus, the Broadview Foundation was begun. With 20 students from four Denver high schools, East, Manual, George Washington, and Montbello, 20 students from schools in Arkansas and ten students from New Jersey, Carroll established a program that would enable each of the 50 students involved in the program to earn $2000 toward their future education upon their graduation from high school. The program began with a series of essays written by interested students and judged by Carroll. Once the students had been selected, they were informed of the requirements each would be expected to follow. First, they had to maintain at least a C average during their four years in high school. Second, they were required to attend monthly meetings held at various locations throughout the city. When Carroll was unable to attend, a liaison from each city would monitor the meetings. The Denver liaison, Kay Logan, has worked closely with Carroll in his endeavors to reach success with the students involved in the program. How successful has the program been? According to Mrs. Logan, those students with lower grade point averages arc learning to maintain a quality academic record while those with higher grade point averages are continuing to challenge themselves to improve. Participants are also learning to be on time to meetings and to be at all meetings unless a school activity prohibits attendance. Only one student in the Denver area hasdroppedoutoftheprogram, and that student has already been replaced with another. All students are required to attend meetings and all meetings and activities are run by a point system. One recent meeting was held at the Hu-Man Bookstore. At this meeting, Carroll purchased a book for each of the students; after reading the book and writing a report on it, the book was to be passed on to another student who would read it also then pass it on to someone else. Most importantly for students involved in this program, Carroll is a strict disciplinarian. At meetings, there is only scnousncss. At the end of the meetings, however, Carroll will relax with the students and become more of a friend. Certainly, all the participants are beginning to recognize the importance of education and Carroll is working diligently to make sure that they receive a reward for their hard work. At the end of the four years, in addition to the $2000 given to the student for his/her college, Carroll has made available an additional $5000 to be awarded to the student who has earned the most points. There is also an additional $8000 available for the Denver student who earns the most points. Why is Joe Barry Carroll involving himself in this type of project? Most likely because he appreciates the help he received from East High School when he attended, but more importantly, because he wants to teach his young students about life and education and what it can do to make a more successful life for each of them. East graduate, Joe Barry Carroll, returns to Denver as a Nugget after Knick trade. Shane McGregor reads winning speech. East assembly pays tribute to King This year's Martin Luther King Week, January 16-19, and the ninth annual Brotherhood Week, February 20-23, paid tribute to Martin Luther King and the continued spirit of brotherhood. The main event of both weeks was the culminating assembly at the end of the two events. The Martin Luther King Week assembly was a combination of student presentations of famous King speeches and other student performances. The Brotherhood Week assembly included a number of presentations. The advanced dance class performed an interpretation of the poem "All My People" and the East chamber choir along with the Bolt Vibrations sang two songs. This year's guest speaker was Michcal Simmons, who delivered an inspirational talk on the concept of brotherhood and the diversity of East students. Senior Shane McGregor read his essay on Martin Luther King for which he won the annual MLK essay contest. The assembly also included Jonathan McMillan performing a rap. Finally, Mr. Douglas and Mrs. Gaynor were recognized as teachers who make a difference. Along with the assemblies, there were also the usual hall decorations and memorabilia to commemorate the events. Brotherhood Week once again proved that East students can and will come together in an attempt to understand and accept all of the students who make up East High School. �:. �: � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
