Diverse. Spirited. Unique. Enthu iastic. Individualistic. The e are some answers students gave to the
question. "If ou could describe a t students in one
word, what word would you use?" One thing makes
East stand out from other scho I . "It has such a
diverse combination of students and faculty," observes
junior Sarah inbourn. This dive ity allows for learning at all level .
Because of it location in the inner city. East is
represented b many ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and
economic group . Freshman Mira Jagman liked the
fact that in comparison to middle sch ol. "Kids at East
come from all over, not just a mall area." This
provided a unique atmosphere f, r 11. Senior Kelly
Woodward said, "Thi makes East students more down
to earth than a lot of other kid ." After all, the
uniqueness is what sets East apart.
To show their school spirit, ev ry Friday, students
turned out in their red and white. During special

occasions such a the week of homecoming, students
dressed up in school colors, togas, and hats and ties. At
the homecomin game, the crowd enthusiastically
cheered their team on, enjoying them elves immensely.
Sophomore Ryan Hintzen is glad that his fellow students are "into school spirit." One unique thing about
East is the fact that its students ar involved in the
numerous clubs East has to offer. Students look to the
future by involving them elves in such clubs as FBLA.
MESA. Youth in Government, and more. Yet, a strong
sense of individuali m among the students lets them
"Be who they want to be and do what they want to do,"
states senior Lisa Randall. Each member of the student
body is distinctly different because of his background,
interests. and character, yet is unified by its common
goal of learning, school spirit, and involvement.

�Throughout this book we would like to bring out what makes
East High School such an exceptional and one-of-a-kind place.
Student Life at East High School is a colorful combination of

"Everyone who

-Chris

re the e really the best
time of our live ? Since we
are now in high chool and
have very few year left at
Ea t, it would seem to be o.
And ince there is no experience for what i going to
happen in the future, it
eems that high chool student have to make a statement about their high
chool years . On the negative ide, many people have
aid that the e aren ' t the
be t year of their lives.
Their rea ons include breaking up, moving from out of
town and leaving friends behind, not finding omeone to
pend time with and not be-

ing able to have fun for no
rea on at all.
For a better change of
pace, junior Elena Brown
and LaMarr Merriex agree
that the e are omewhat the
be t days of their lives . But
Elena Brown still commented, "I can remember a lot of
time that were just as much
fun when I wa younger ."
lot of people do agree
that the e are the best time
of their lives. eniors agree
becau e this is the last year
of high chool. On the other
hand, when junior Patrick
Reich and ophomore Cha e
Miller agree that thee are
the best times, it i because

they "get to meet more
women ." Getting on a different track, sophomore
Leonard Redwine was noted
as saying, "It's only the beginning," with a devilish
grin on his face.
It really doesn't matter
whether this is your first
year or your last year; what
matters i that each individual takes the chance to
make the most out of the
year left in high chool.
You can never go home
again and the good times of
high chool will never come
around again .

urn1ng Issues

A the bell rings and clas
is finally over, everyone
ru hes into the halls and begins to talk . But what i everyone talking about? What
are the hot topic of the
day? The answer all depend
on the per on you a k.
One of the mo t popular
topic i the after school excitement. "Where are the
parties?" a ked everal student . What to do over the
weekend i alway an important
ubject among
tudents.
In the more distant future, "Prom, graduation and
getting out of school," led
the conversation for enior
Mary
elson and her
friends. Another topic on
the mind of many of the
junior and eniors i " ol-

lege!" a senior Julie Liberacki puts it.
Other relevant topics in
the lives of tudent are
"Sex, gang and go ip," according to let Valentine.
But when the conver ation
takes a turn to the wild and
wackier side, enior Reese
Roper, is always ready to
discu s "beenie weenie , the
remodeling of Plaza de
Monaco and tree stumps in
the Midwe t," with anyone
who comes along .
On the more seriou ide,
topics uch as the Middle
East cri is and the possible
war areal o important. One
aspect of it that directly aftudents i the ri ing
fect
prices of gasoline. Many
tudents are re pon ible for
paying for their ov.n ga and

with little extra time for a
job, it can be difficult. Another subject i the temporar} hut down of the Federal Government due to a lack
of fund and the overwhelming national deficit. For
some, the new policies are
the main topic conversation .
"Everyone i talking about
the gang i ue and the new
dre s code.
obody thinks
that thi i a olution to the
problem," aid junior Leah
Vfiron .
o matter what people
talk about, there will never
be a lack of different topics
and people will alway find
the time to talk .

conversation I
had wa about
who would go
to the
superbowl San Francisco,

- Ryan Lee

ocial whirl
Did you know that there are 37 carpeted rooms and the rest are
either wood or linoleum.

School is the focal point
in our lives. We see our
friends here everyday. Special school activities such as
plays, dances, and spirit
week are social events. Although these are enjoyable
events for many students,
there are also a lot of negative feelings about the "social whirl."
School unity and spirit
are important to the success
of any school event. Spirit
week and Homecoming
turned out to be fun for a
group of freshmen. Anna
Duval, Brooke Bauer and
Kate McKenzie looked forward to it for months and
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. For others, it was a
disappointment. Senior
ena Davis felt, "Spirit

16

week is always fun but lacking in participation. It's not
supported enough by the administration." Freshman
Paula Kirschner agreed by
saying "There really isn't
enough school unity or spirit." Even the cheerleaders
don't cheer at the football
games when the team isn't
winning.
Other factors make up
the "social whirl". Coming
into a large, new school is
exciting but also frightening. For freshman Brooke
Bauer, it's really neat that
the entire freshman class
can be friends this year but
she also remarked, "It
seems like people get more
cliquish as you get older."
There is a general consensus among students that

East,does a good job of being diverse and integrated.
But some disagree and feel
that East is too involved in
cliques. "Some people are
too materialistic and care
too much about the color of
skin and what people wear,"
according to sophomore Michelle Wright. Clifton
Cobbs commented, "Gangs
are over-emphasized among
some students and don't belong at East." But, overall,
it is the diversity that makes
East what it is.
All in all, there are dozens
of opinions concerning the
social scene and the diversity is welcomed.

he faces of east
Did you know that there are I 00 classrooms; that means there are
14.26 students per room.

Attending East High
School is a valuable experience not offered anywhere
else in the city. Located in
the heart of Denver, East
brings together a broad and
diverse student body. People
of all races and all walks of
life come to East from
throughout the city. Students here receive more
than an educational experience, they also receive a
cultural one.
Walking through the halls
at East High School is far
from monotonous . New
faces appear around every
corner. There is always
someone new to meet. Most
students find this to be a
wonderful advantage .
Freshman Jill Palcanis loves
the fact that she "has so

many people to choose from
to be friends with."
Many different kinds of
people make up the diverse
student body at East.
Blacks, Hispanics, orientals,
whites, and a selection of
foreign students enhance
the school. East is sort of
like the melting pot of the
DPS system. Not only does
East have a wide variety of
ethnic differences, but students come from all over the
city. Park Hill, Cherry
Creek, Capitol Hill, downtown, and southeast Denver
are the main neighborhoods
in the East district. Bringing
together these different
areas of the city adds to the
diversity of East. According
to sophomore Blair Warren,
"This is great because it

"There are
too many
people
trying to
be
something
they are
not."
-Jessica
Dominguez

prepares people for real life
and gives you a taste of what
people are really like."
"The diversity at East is
both realistic and comforting," says freshman Barrie
Short. Where else can you
see so many types of people
and feel free to be yourself?
Yet there are some drawbacks to this wide variety of
culture and diversity. Junior
Ali Pass feels that "It's
great that there are so many
types of people but it's unfortunate that we don't mix
more." But all in all, East is
an excellent environment,
both academically and culturally. Senior Nate Green
summed it up by simply saying "East is a cool place to
go to school!"

�hat's so funny?
Did you kno~ that there are I ,425 lockers in the school and each one
gets a new combination every year?
Laughter is universal, a
medicine to improve the
negatives that go on in
everyday life. How many
time do you laugh in a day?
Probably many times . Each
per on find his own laughter, even though it may not
be funny to anyone else.
Some people's laughter
results from what others do
or wear. Freshman Gayle
Cri pin laughs at people
who "wear polye ter and
bell bottom ." Expres ing a
different opinion, senior
Chris White find his dose
of laughter in "fat girls who
wear biker harts." Sometimes people serve as a comedy to other because they
don't care what others think
about them. Their preferences bring laughter to peo-

pie who are different from
them , such as sophomore
Clay Carson who says, "I
like to laugh at people who
listen to New Kids on the
Block ." Ignorance and pride
are laughed at by many.
enior Jamie Montoya astutely says, "We laugh at
the mistake and failures of
others." Attempts to please
others commonly backfires
into laughter. Senior Kenyalta Den on laughs at
"ugly girls who think they
are cute" while "Boys that
come to rap to me and have
bad breath," makes Laketia
Sear laugh .
Another ubject of laughter is how thing are preented to u . Jokes are a univer al form of laughter.
However, senior Mary Nel-

son finds "sick jokes that little innocent girls tell" to be
the funnie t.
The highest form of
laughter is how often we
laugh at ourselves. Senior
Ree e Roper laughs at himself becau e as he says, "I
am abnormal. I am my own
elf entertainment." Many
people laugh at themselves
when they feel stupid or nervous . There are people
whose laughter just doesn't
make ense to others because it isn ' t funny to anyone else. The e people simply enjoy life and find their
own pleasure like sophomore Erin Leonard: "I
laugh constantly!"
- Kathy Jefferies

" I laugh at
danger. The
ight of blood
excites me.
Because I'm an
Angel, it means

eep it simple
Did you know that there are 143 trees on the East campus. There are
none on the city-owned Esplanade.

Have you ever wanted to
borrow you Trig teacher's
brain for the tests? Did you
ever wish you were able to
freeze the motion of your
class and sneak up to the
teacher's desk to peek at the
answers? This could only
happen in the movies, but
wouldn't it make things
easy? To some, math comes
easy; to others, gym comes
easy. Cheating on a test or
making excuses about unfinished homework are examples of easy ways out.
But what is an easy way out
that makes you feel good?
Junior David Eastlund said,
"Making the varsity swim
team, even though there is
no JV, is easy."
Not all things come easy.

24

A lot of the time you have to
work hard to get good
grades, to get a job, and
even to succeed in life.
Many people believe asking
someone out on a date or to
a dance is the hardest thing
to do. Junior Sarah Pious
said, "The hardest thing
about asking someone is
having them say 'no."'
Studying for a test is hard,
but the feeling of success in
doing well makes it worth
the time. Hard work really
does pay off in the end.
How about the things
that are easy and at the
same time do not make you
feel guilty? There is shopping with your parents'
money or relaxing on a
school night when you don't

have any homework. There
are those people who don't
study and still get A's, and
jocks who do not have to
work hard in sports but always perform well. Many
people have different ways
of making things come easier for them.
A poll of 30 juniors to determine how many had ways
of making things easier
showed that ten people did
not have a way, 15 people
had various techniques, and
five were not sure. Having
an easy way to do something
could change your life and
keep your stress level down
to a minimum. Finding an
"easy way out" could be the
cure for all your pain and
suffenng.

Did you know that there are 680 stairs connecting the four floors

"Walking

-Simone Valdez

Like it or not, go ip i a
part of high choollife. It is
amazing to watch a fact
evolve into fanta y or a basic nothing turn into an outrageou something. On one
hand, go ip can be entertaining . On the other hand,
it can dent or de troy friendhip , humiliate, fru trate,
create unnecessar
hard
feeling , ruin tru t . . and
the li t goe on .
In high chool, rumors
are prominent imply due to
the fact that we are all o
clo ely woven. Many find it
intere ting a well as entertaining to hear about " oand- o" or "can you believe?" or "did you hear?"
However, when we find ourelve on the other end, gosip i humiliating. Have you

ever come to school on
Monday morning to hear
orne juicy news ... about
yourself? Senior H oily
Smith added, "Rumor can
be fun but cruel, but either
way they shouldn't be taken
to heart." This is the carefree attitude of many people
which could turn out to be
much more seriou .
In addition to hurting
people, rumors can be
looked at as immature as
well. Actually, they should
be items to which we do not
pay any attention. They may
hurt or humiliate us but if
we tep back and take a
breath . .. who cares anyhow? True friend will remain true and superficial
friendships can be a relief to
get rid of. An anonymous

per on added, "Rumors
have ruined friendships and
altered images of innocent
people. They are simply no
good, but in reality there is
nothing we can do to wipe
out their exi tence." Completely demolishing gossip i
omewhat of an unrealistic
goal; however, learning to
deal with it could olve
many of our problem . Go sip may get to the heart of
u at times, but if we stop
and take a look at the foolishness, we may give ourselves the credit of being
above the non ense. We
our elves know the truth,
which in essence, is all that
matter .

aught lll the act
Did you know that it takes an average of 28 minutes to travel from
southeast Denver to East's parking lot.

Just how many different
excuses are there when a
person gets caught doing
something he isn't supposed
to do? We have come to find
that there are just as many
different excuses as there
are students. A survey has
been done and it has been
found that the most popular
excuse was best said by
ophomore Leonard Redwine, "Fly high, be sly, tell a
lie." This is just one of the
many excuses that could be
used by students but there

certainly are more.
It has also been found
that certain looks come with
certain people when getting
caught. For example, some
have the "please don't call
home" look, and others
might give an "oh well"
look. Then there are the
people who have the "Oh
my god .. am I going to get it
now" look.
There is just one more
thing on what happens when
a person gets caught doing
something wrong and that's

his actions. The best response to this was, " be slick
and try to outrun them,"
which came from junior
Patrick Reich. Most everybody agreed with this, which
is very surprising. T his is
surprising because knowing
the high morals of East
High students, no one said
they would stay still and
take their punishment like
the mature young adults
they are ... but then again
who would.

" I was
caught
trying to
be suave
in a
backless
dress. I
thought I
was pretty
great until
someone
came up
behind me
and
pushed the
sleeves off
and the

xper1ence gap
Did you know that 15 out of 26 people wear tennis shoes in a n
average class.

Many students strive to
do well in their classes and
meet the expectations of
their teachers. However,
just the experience of high
school can be more valuable
than the lesson one learns
from a textbook. During
high school, one can learn to
communicate and make
friendships, a skill that is
needed in everyday life. Perhaps learning from one's
mistakes can prove to be the
most important lesson.
For many, this knowledge
can come very quickly.
However, for others it make
take until they are seniors.
Having experienced all that
high school has to offer,

these seniors know what will
bring them success. Senior
Lashun Harris feels that
when she was a freshman,
she didn't have any idea how
much she would have to
work. Now, as a senior, she
feels that she knows "what it
takes" to get into college
and succeed. They know
certain shortcuts and techniques that enable them to
get by. They have learned
from their mistakes.
Seniors are not the only
people with experience and
"knowledge." Teachers often feel that they have important insight to share with
others. Many times they
give advice to students.

They know that the students
probably won't do what they
are told, but they keep trying. Social studies teacher
Mrs. Matarrese often advises her students to ready
themselves for life after
high school. She feels that
proper social skills and work
skills can go a long way both
in college and in the work
force. Mr. Thalhofer, also a
history teacher, warns his
students about the pitfalls of
procrastination.
Both seniors and teachers
have something in common.
They have experienced high
school and know what it
takes to survive and do well.

Did you know that 12 out of26 people wear red and white on
red and white days (if you include socks and underwear.)

"In a world a
crazy as thi ,
you ju t have to
be your elf." Jona Hughie

Wow! It ure i ea y to ay
ju t about anything. But,
how ea y i it to actually do
what you ay? Do you find
your elf aying, "I will do it.
I'm going to" but nothing
ever get done? Fre hman
Su ie Colunga aid, "If a
per on say it, he hould really go for it becau e if he
doe n't, he' a liar." With
trong feeling about the importance of action, sophomore Shelby Moye tated, "I
wi h more tudent would
realize what the phra e 'action speak louder than
words' really means. So
many people complain, but
they all ju t it back and do
nothing about it. We need to
be in action." The challenge
i not to ju t say omething,
but to do it!

"Oh why did I ay that?
That wa tupid!" Sound familiar? Sometime we put
our elve in a rut. We ay
thing to make other feel
good, but deep down in ide
we know we won't carry out
the action. Senior Brian
Lankenau commented,
"When omeone ha asked
me to do something, I ay yes
to him. But at lea t once
before, in the back of my
mind, I know that if ornething more fun come up, I
will probably do the fun
thing, even though I told the
other person I would do
omething with him." Everyone act this way sometimes.
How many times do you find
your elf aying, "Can I borrow orne money? I promise
I'll pay you back" or "Can I

borrow a pen? I'll give it
back at the end of the period." In your mind you
know you'll probably never
pay thi per on back nor return hi pen.
Actual actions are the
mo t ignificant. Word can
be u ed over and over with
little meaning while actions
convey meaning. A "thank
you" can be generic without
a hug which is always different and adds quality and
cannot be expressed in
word . These emotion are
revealed by facial expresion , body language, or pecial out-of-the-way things we
do for others.

�East has so much to offer its students. In return, students
have even more to offer the school. Many people contribute
their talents, energy and efforts to the multitude of activities
available at East. The several dance, dramatic and musical
productions put on throughout the year are examples of the
creative ability present in the student body. Students also expre their talent through activitie uch a peech, student
council and ROTC just to name a few. The strength of these
programs show the involvement and dedication Angels show

�The years were
Short and Sweet
It eems like uch a hart time
ago that I fir t entered the door of
Ea t High. Since that time I have
gone through a time of wonderful
change. I've had many hard hip
and triumph , feelings of fru tration and joy, emotional high and
letdown .
Through it all I have experienced and learned a great deal. In
particular, I' e learned of the importance of etting goal and, more
importantly, working hard to
achieve them. Life needs to have
meaning. We need to have orne
rea on to be determined in our
live and pu h on.
More importantly, we need to
have dream . Dream make life
exciting. Strive to obtain your
dream . "Hold fa t to dream for
if dream die, life i but a broken

winged bird that cannot fly."
- Langston Hughes. I hope that we
all can fly and fulfill our dream .
I want to thank everyone for
making Ea t the out tanding place
that it i . All of us have, either
directly or indirectly, influenced
each other becau ewe are all a part
of the Ea t High community. And
there is nothing el e like it in the
world.
It has been great, take care-

When I was a kid, I got a
"green-machine" for Christmas. It
was a cool Big Wheel kind of
conveyance that had no handle
bars. To steer, I u ed two knob-like
control stick and pedaled with my
feet. I zoomed around the playground with my hair blowing in
the breeze while the plastic wheels
scraped along the pavement. I had
no Calculu problems to frustrate
me and no e ay to write. My
major tre s in life wa to remember my lunch money, (which I
never did).
However, life was pretty monotonous. I loved watching Tom &amp;
Jerry cartoons and Leave it to
Beaver re-run then, but now I
think I'd rather Jeep.
It's a tran formation I attribute
partially to high chool. Of cour e
growing up doe n't have to mean
growing boring. I still like to have

fun with my friends and laugh like
I did when I was three. It's weird
to think that when I came into
high chool I was still an official
kid and now on the eve of graduation I've advanced to "young
adult."
I know someday I'll remember
my experience at East: singing
Christma carols in the hall, having after cia s di cussion with my
teachers, and trying to sneak
aroung the hall without a pa .
High chool i an exciting experience. It's almost like riding a
green-machine.

�FINALLY, A SEQUAL
THAT'S BETTER THAN
THE ORIGINAL
In the pa t, many tudent felt
that they had no ay in chool
deci ion . A a maJOr goal, this
year' council wanted to get more
tudent involved and pirited.
More pecifically, they aimed to
get people involved who u ually
cho e not to be a part of the event .
In addition, the tudent council
hoped to rai e enough money to
have ucce ful dance and activitie .
While preparing for dance , organizing fundrai er and pirit activitie , council members learned
about their peer , organization, reponsibility and leader hip. Junior
cia
pre ident, Max Smerling
commented, "There is nothing
more intere ting or intriguing a
the student body, and student

council let me get clo er to it."
For ophomore council member,
Dave Turner, "Being in student
council gave me the power to tate
my view on how thing hould be
run and managed; to me, that is
important." In addition to teaching tudents hone t and virtuou
way of admini tration, junior
Chri Drumwright learned
"Enough creative way to account
for lo t money to Ia t a lifetime."
All in all, the tudent council
member trived for a ucces ful
year where each member of the
tudent body could be involved. As
a result of their efforts and creativity, the entire chool had more
pride and enthusiasm than ever.

�CATCH THE
EXCITEMENT
Cheerleaders, like giant
M&amp;M's, showed their stamina.
Our dancers ftlled us with awe and
chills of excitement. But what's
behind the final effort of the cheerleaders and dancers? Head cheerleader, senior Barbara Edwards
said, "It's a lot of hard work.
Cheering takes a lot of creativity
and practice." Dance was not just
eye-catching tricks, but physical
and creative strength behind the
motion.
Cheerleaders were involved in
everal activities starting with a
four-day summer camp. At homecoming, they choreographed a
dance and coordinated the dance.
On October 28, they acted a tour
guides for the Gala Open House.
On December 1 they participated
in state competition.

Not to be outdone, the advanced
dancers performed with the Metro
State Performers. Advanced and
intermediate dancers performed in
a state showcase in Boulder.
Through local and national performing group , the dancers
learned about African, Latin
American, and other kinds of
dance.
Unmistakably, there is a lot of
succe s and talent here. Mrs. Riley
summed up the entire program,
"Cheerleading is a challenge; an
opportunity show leadership. I'm
proud of our dance program; it's
one of the best in the state. Most
specially, it allows our students to
excel both as performing artists
and a individuals."

ROTC provided tudent with

"A per on hould be well rounded

ROTC wa involved in many

The benefit of ROTC were enjoyed by an increa ing number of

commented, "ROTC i an excellent program, and anyone who i

�GET DOWN AND
GET FUNKY
Homecoming and Morp: who to
ask, where to get the ca h, who
a~ked your best friend, who a ked
the person you wanted to a k, and
what to wear were que tion that
filled everyone's minds for the
weeks before.
An ali-day event, homecoming
started with the football game.
Unfortunately, the football team
wa hut out by rival Manual.
However, everyone' spirits were
brightened by the cheerleader's romantic decorations and theme,
"Vi ion of Love." Mot Angel
either drove, got one of their
friends to drive or rented a limo.
Others, however, like the underclassmen, had to have their parents
drive. "Except for the car ride with
my parent ," said fre hman Brian

Howard, "homecoming wa a
blast."
Taking place on December 8,
Morp was the first girl-ask-guy
dance of the year. Some girls refu ed to ask guys, so the Morp
crowd wa made up of couple
mixed with groups of girls and
guys that came as friend . Sophomore Pamela Simp on aid, "They
hould not have Morp because
girls don't like to ask guys to
dances. It's too embarra ing and
it's really a guy's job." Many girls
agreed, which accounted for the
many eligible hunks that went
dateless or ju t tayed home. evertheless, Morp remained one of
the mo t succes ful and widely
attended dance .

imple. Fir t of all, Ea t ha tyle.
What other chool dared to drive
tudent to the dance in a "love

econdly, Ea t had creativity.
Many chool held their prom at
the u ual place , but Ea t made a
new deci ion: the Tabor Center, a
building made of gla , where attender reflected back on the good
old day .
Three' a charm and o wa the
weetheart dance. "It wa the mo t
original dance I've been to ince
I've been at East," remarked junior Jenny Kahn. With hallways
decorated to coincide with the
theme " Jungle Love," there was

no doubt weetheart dance wa
one to remember.
The Ia t dance of the year for

catch the Angel ' pirit and to
create unforgettable memorie .
In clo ing, there are tho e who
go to dance to ocialize and tho e
who attend dance to get their la t
chance to hine in the potlight.
The e are the people who defined
this year' prom theme: Here and
Now. Thi expre ion laid a framework for those to follow. That

�Angels Want to
Succeed
Not Just Survive
The 1990 football ea on wa
like taking two teps forward, then
sliding three teps back. For the
mo t part, the team never returned
to it past winning tradition. After
a 2-2 record in the fir t four game ,
the team lo t its momentum and
became more accustomed to losing
instead of winning. As a result,
Coach Tarver ummed up the eaon in one word, "Ugh." Certainly
thi wasn't one of the be t ea on
East has had.
East High's football history has
had a wonderful tradition of success; what ha happened now? "It
i unheard of for a football team to
go from number one in state to one
of the poorest." Coach Tarver was
fru trated, as well as the players. It
was hard to go out and practice
five days a week remembering the
past losses. Although Coach
Tarver and the rest of the coaching
staff prepared excellent game plans
for each game, it was difficult for
the player to accomplish enough
to come out on the winning end.
Fru tration hindered the performance of the team and mistake
continued to haunt the Angel as
they tried to regain a winning attitude but it was hard to keep going
when losing became a habit.
The team al o suffered from a

lack of unity. There was only one
four-year letterman in the entire
program. There just weren't
enough players that were strong
enough leaders to unify the team.
The team needed to play a a team
and not a individual and this
became an impo ible task.
Another problem that the team
faced was the frequent lo of players. Many of the player were
forced to leave the team from week
to week becau e of ineligibility.
Starting out with twenty-three
players, the team dwindled to sixteen. Without a full compliment, it
was difficult to play winning football.
Too the lack of fans let this team
down. The stands at all-city stadium were never full. If fans were
there, they were u ually socializing
instead of cheering.
But, all is not lost as the Angel '
football team looks good in the
future. There are many trong undercla smen in the program, and
the JV football team finished with
thirty-three kid with the de ire to
achieve varsity goals. It would
help if more people would try out
for the team and bring back the
East High football spirit.

Junior var ity team provide the nece ary learning experiences to lead to var ity
uccesses. Such wa the ca e with both JV
football and occer.
The JV football team had great potential,
but had trouble putting it together at the
beginning of the ea on. According to ophomore John Porter, "The team tarted
slowly, but we came together and fini hed
the ea on strongly. Had we played as well
at the beginning as we did at the end, we
could have been undefeated." Both Coach
Riedel and Coach Abraham agreed that the
team did not play up to its full potential at
all times, but broke down in some games
becau e of a lack of di cipline and effective
practice. Fre hman Brian Dowdell stated,
"Finishing the season on a winning note
wa important." Good programs and good
coache will continue the winning proce s.
For JV occer, ending the eason with a
4-4 record showed Coach Wink that there
wa a great range of improvement in the
total play of the team. Coach Wink tated,
"I was really surpri ed and impressed with
the overall improvement of the team." One
of the most impre sive aspects of the team
wa its teamwork. Chris LaBarge commented, "We started off bad but played
better at the end of the sea on becau e we
played as a team." The soccer team also had
its ups and downs. The be t game was
against Kennedy when the Angels defeated
the Commanders 3-0. Good offense and a
strong defen e proved successful. On the
other side, probably the wor t game was
against Manual, where the JV lost 1-0. It
wa a game that could have been won with
just a little more offensive firepower.
Whether winning or lo ing, the JV teams
work hard to prepare them elve for future
var ity succe e .

Overall, the var ity volleyball
team performed like a fine bottle of
wine. Ju t a wine gets better with
age, the volleyball team became
better with the experience of playing together for more than one
year. Coach Cumba commented,
"Everyone played a one unit and
going into the di trict tournament,
we operated with everyone at their
peak performance level."
Like mo t of the other fall port
team , the volleyball team had
their up and downs. Their best
game was played against their bigge t rivals, Lincoln. Our Angel
dominated the Lancer to win the
match. On the other ide, one
game they felt they should have
won was the second round game
again t
orth. Although the
games were well played, the team
lo t two matches to one.
The team's regular sea on record of 9-6 took them to the district where their mo t up etting,
but clo e, game again t Manual
took place. Starting out slowly, the
team tried to play catch up, but it
didn't work. Thi meant the team
had to come back the following
night and win all their game to
advance to the state. As an outtanding comeback team, one who
played with kill and confidence,

the Lady Angels accomplished thi
ta k and moved on to tate.
Although none of the other DP
teams had better skill than thts
team, the Angels were not a men.
tally prepared for orne game as
their opponent . Overall, the team
came a long way after a slow tart.
This sea on will probably be a
season be t remembered by the
team member a one of strong
unity, great port manship, and
incredible comebacks.
Two of the most predominant
players, enior Kri ti Overton and
Florence Adu, were commended
by one of their teammate , junior
Leah Miron, for their leadership.
Leah said, "Kristi wa an excellent
captain, etter, spiker, and erver,
all in one. Florence wa alway
intimidating people and alway
stuffing the ball in their faces."
Although everal of the stalwart
player are senior , there i still a
strong upporting ca t of underclassmen who can carry on the
tradition that has been established
by the volleyball program
Through continued uccess and
progre , the Angels will continue
to perform on an equal level with
the suburb .

�The Young
and the Fearless
Totally awe orne! The varsity
softball team finished the season
with a winning record. After suffering through everal dismal years
where wins were few and far between, it's now more like the little
engine that said it could and did.
Much of the success revolved
around new coach Scott
Mendelsberg, who not only
worked diligently on the fundamentals of the game, but also
stressed teamwork, discipline and
courage. There was never a time
when Coach Mendelsberg wasn't
coaching and stressing the need to
be aware of the particular situation
at hand. This paid off with a successful season and a berth in the
state tournament. Although the
team had been to the state tournament before, this year was different. "It was exciting going into
state with an idea that the team
could make some noise," stated
Coach Mendelsberg. And make
some noise it did. Although the
team was defeated, the Angels are
now a team everyone will be aware
of in the future.
During the course of the season,
there were still ups and downs.
Probably the most exciting game
of the season was when the Angels
beat the defending city champions,
We t, on their home field, a feat
not easily accomplished at any

time, but with West's home field
advantage, it wa something pecial. Then, there were the downs.
There were losses, some by huge
margins, which forced the team to
put their successes back into perpective and to have the courage
and discipline to prove that the
losses were flukes. With their new
competitive spirit and determination, the Angels returned to the
playing field to retain their successful form.
When on the field, the team's
strong points included a solid defense and the quickness to recover
from the errors that plagued them
at times. For the most part, the
only thing that held the team back
was lack of experience. But with
the addition of the JV team and the
small number of graduating eniors, there is a great source of
underclassmen who will gain
knowledge and the experience it
takes to succeed.
The team is young, graduating
only four seniors, Susie Overton,
LaTonya Long, Barbara Edwards,
and Julie Liberacki. With the rest
coming back next year, building on
the success and competitive nature
of the athletes involved, the team
has only good things to look forward to.

�COSMIC
these jv teams
shoot for the stars

Volleyball and softball demand coordination, speed, and agility. These skills come
about with mental and physical conditioning that help teams to play and work
together.
Once again, JV volleyball proved to be
one of the top teams. They worked hard on
developing skills and teamwork. Their effort paid off as they won their first five
games but lost the next game to Wheat
Ridge. Late in the season, they lost two
clo e matches to Lincoln.
Reflecting on the eason, Coach Garcia
aid, " I was real happy with this year's
team and I think that they could have gone
14-0 if they had won some of the big points
in the clo e games." Coach Garcia attributed much of the team's succe s to junior
Jenny Cordova and Andra Butz, and to
sophomore Kwali Farbes. Jenny Cordova
summed it up best, "Even though we didn't
live up to last year's season, we had an
outstanding team."
For the first time in softball history, a JV
team was formed. Led by Coach Jamie
Lofaro, the team finished a strong eason.
The team wa led by swing players, junior
Suko Tokuda, sophomore Stephanie
Schulz, and freshman Perry McElhinney.
When asked about the season, Stephanie
Schulz replied, "It was a great beginning
for a first year team." Team manager, Mike
Onisko, said "This year we had a 10-3
record, but there is still a lot of work to be
done for next year's varsity team." There is
little doubt that with such talent on JV,
next year's team will be outstanding.

�On the Green Side
of Things
Golf i ba ically a hort way of
aying the Game of Lucky Fella .
The talent in golf is found in the
dedication to practice as well a in
the natural flick of the wrist. It
take a commitment to ynchronize the hand-eye coordination of
hitting the ball down a narrow
fairway, then dropping it into the
de ired hole. Golfer find it both a
challenging a well a a relaxing
port.
This year' golf team fini hed up
the sea on in fourth place at districts. There wa a record turn out
of twenty-two guys. As Coach Sev
stated "We had a real young team
which led to inexperience in
games, but overall I was sati fied
with the results." The team consisted of a majority of underclassmen including talented individual uch as junior Drew Davi
and Scott Maddox and one enior.
Davis made the pre tigious all-city
team while Maddox and Davi
together fini hed in third place
overall in the City Cup match. The
season can definitely be con idered
an important building block for
their road to the top. Their young
talent hould lead the team into
the champion hip in the next few
year.
As a vital part for succe in

golf, practices took place every day
after chool at the City Park Golf
Course. Matche were held on
Tue day and Thur days at one of
everal city cour e including
Well hire, Overland, City Park,
Kennedy, and Willi Ca e. Popular opinion of favorite course to
play rated Kennedy a number
one. A minority also favored the
Willi Ca e course. Many believed
Kennedy to be the luckiest cour e,
becau e it omehow magically
eemed to draw the balls into the
holes. The tree were also recognized as a po itive accessory of the
course because of the great
bounces one could hit off of them.
The Willis Case course proved to
be rewarding as well as challenging.
Content with thi year and looking forward to next year, the team
definitely has a bright future. It
take commitment and practice to
ucceed in golf, two qualities
which the golf team has. As a
young team with high hopes, they
hould carry the golf program to
the top. ext year, maybe the golf
team will develop fan upport similar to tho e who play on the profe sional golf tour.

�Cruising Out
for a Spin
Gymnasts are like bungy cord .
They tretch three times their normal length, mentally and phy ically. In the spirit of competition,
their mind concentrate to their
max point, o they will not err in
any way. Their bodies stretch into
unbelievable positions to appeal to
the judge .
With a mall team of only nine
girl , they had to rely totally on
team effort to compete with larger
team like GW, Manual, and TJ,
who had fifteen to twenty girls.
Larger teams have the luxury of
selecting their be t competitors to
compete in each event.
Teams compete in four events:
the parallel bars, floor, beam, and
vault. Mo t of the freshman specialized in one or two event .
When all-around performer junior
Erica Jehn injured an ankle, he
wa limited to performance in
events that would not affect her
injured ankle. In addition,
ineligibilites plagued the team.
Yet, as sophomore Claire Hebald
put it, "Despite all the setbacks, we
pulled through as a team."
The team had the top four girl
compete in all events, senior
Kri tel England, and fre hmen
Michelle Rimpson, Laura
LaBarge, and Dia La Zar. The rest
of the team filled in for the other

two spots, depending upon their
pecialties.
The team did not accomplish
what they would have liked to
because of the injuries, illnesses,
and ineligibilitie . Unlike last year,
there were no gymnasts to spare
and each participant had to do her
best to compete in any event in
which he was qualified. Unexpected illne es continually forced
the gymna t to compete in their
dual meets without a full complement of performer . But even with
all these problem , the team still
finished a strong econd in city.
Throughout the years, a strong
tradition had been e tablished
where gymnastics was concerned.
Three years ago they were the city
champ . La t year, they fell to
third in city but came back with a
trong econd in thi year' city
championships.
Of the nine girl , only two were
upperclassmen: enior Kristel
England and junior Erica Jehn.
The rest of the team consisted of
sophomores Claire Hebald and
Danayle McCormick, and freshmen Dia La Zar, Amy Smith, and
Laura LaBarge. The e gymnasts
will provide a strong nucleu and
more experience for the future.

imiliar to Energizer batterie .
They keep going and going and
going ... outla ting all others. They
can truly be considered the unbeatable copper top . The cross country team had an out tanding year
achieving above and beyond accomplishment in previous year .
The team reached its peak at the
di trict meet on October 18 with
the girl a overall DPL champs
and the boys a overall runners up
behind West. Both the varsity boy
and girls team qualified for state
competition which was held on
October 27.
As Coach Peters stated, "It took
a lot of commitment as well as
oxygen deficiency days but the
team pulled through and proved
their abilitie to be the best in the
city." It i a suring that the team
can relate to the word oxygen deficiency. Pain i an every day barrier
overcome by runners. Running
creates not only an unbeatable
physical strength but also builds
strong mental confidence in the
runners. Runners exceeded their
limits every day as they took
strides past their supposed limits.
Practices, held every day after

chool, included either a rigorous
track or endurance workout and
an occasional "one mile re t run"
the day before a meet. DPS meets
took place every Wedne day after
chool. Outside meets, such as the
Boulder Cross Country Challenge
or the Liberty Bell Cia ic, were
held on Saturday . Each meet included a course of five kilometers,
which is approximately three mile .
Overall, the team con i ted of a
well-balanced variety of both upper and lower cia smen. They not
only proved their outstanding ability for this year but their potential
for future years. Top runners for
the boy's team included senior Eric
Schranz and sophomore David
Smith. Leading the girl were
freshman Margot Quandt, enior
Lisa Murrell, and Marsha Ortega.
Coach Peters felt as though "Both
the girls and boys teams were an
excellent group to work with. Each
individual on the team gave it their
all, which made the team uccessful." The team has high hope of
carrying on the winning tradition
into the future year .

�Proving Their
Point
In the pa t couple of ea on , the
Ea t men' tennis team ha taken
the hape of a super-hero that rise
to every occa ion. Thi almost immortal team i never ati tied with
econd best, and con tantly keep
pur uing it next goal. This year
was no exception. Coach
Thalhofer led his talented, young
team to an undefeated season. The
team also captured a city title and
a district championship.
In the pre- eason practices, a
record forty-one aspirants challenged each other to fill the eleven
po itions on var ity. Sean
O'Connor said, "Even though I
felt confident that I would make
the varsity becau e of my previou
experience, I till had to work hard
with the number of new players
attempting to take my position."
At the end of this grueling twoweek period, the ro ter was complete. Senior Mike Bruner led a
team con i ting of five new var ity
players and seven junior . Bruner
commented, "Last year, I wasn't
that re pon ible. This year I took
the leader hip role becau e I wa a
senior." The team's early practice
paid off, as they raced to a 35-0
tart. However, the team's skill
wa then te ted again t longtime

rivals GW and Manual. In each of
the e matches, the number four
double team led by junior Sean
O'Connor and Mike McCartt
ousted their opponents to en urea
4-3 victory for the team. The varity quad then surged ahead to
take the district title away from
four time defending champion
Kent Denver. Qualifying six of
even po ition at di trict , the
tate tournament looked to be very
promi ing. In the tournament, the
number two doubles team consi ting of Marcos Ca tillo and Rich
Canaday and the number four
double team reached the emifinals. The number four doubles
team then went on to take fourth
place. Overall the team did not fare
as well as they had hoped.
When asked to reflect on this
year's ea on, Coach Thalhofer
had thi to say, "The team took a
huge step forward thi year, learning how to fight through and win
close matches against quality opponent . Next year, we hope to
build on this experience and take
another huge step forward at tate.
With ten of eleven var ity player
returning next year, this goal looks
to be a very reachable one.

Domination. This word best decribes the swim team of 1990-91.
On the average, the team won its
meets by 70 points. Starting
strong, the team remained that
way throughout the season, walking away with the city championship and making a respectable
showing at the state meet.
A large part of the success was
due to revisions by Coach Lessard.
During last season, Coach Lessard
saw a lack of unity among the
swimmers. To insure that this
didn't happen again, Lessard had
team meetings, consisting of pep
talks, suggestions, calisthenics and
meditation, before each practice.
Through better communication
came unity. On the whole, the
team controlled the Denver Prep
League with an iron fist. With six
state qualifiers and other strong
times entered, virtually the whole
team qualified for City A. Young
divers performed well, finishing in
the top ten.
The team abounded in talent.
Returning for their third seasons,
Christie Vest, and Jessica
Schiefelbein helped in the domination of this team and qualified for
state. In her second season, Kelly
Harrison also qualified for state.
But the biggest gain this year was
due to the raw talent

in the freshman class. Such swim
mers as Becky Bicknell, Erica
Vest, Margot Quandt, and Jil
Palcanis brought the team out of
mediocrity and into excellence.
Excellence appeared in its high.
est state when the Angels partici.
pated at the 1991 state swim meet.
For the first time in DPS girl
history, the team finished second
by a mere six points to Thompson
Valley.
One of the highlights was the
first meet of the year against Gateway. Gateway is not in the DPL
and is ranked in the top ten of the
state. In previous years, the meet
usually meant an embarrassing
loss for East. Coach Lessard did
not want history to repeat itself.
So, early in the season, the team
trained hard and felt confident
going into the annual match up.
The two teams were neck in neck
the entire meet and victory lay in
the outcome of the last relay. The
three East teams in the top three
spots. The win was Angelic.
This rewarding and exciting victory foreshadowed the rest of the
season. Long workouts, sore muscles, and hundreds of hours later
the team won the city championship. Their time had come.

�What Champions
Are Made Of
The wre tling team wa comparable to a con truction ite. They
were hard-working men, dedicated
to building, becoming stronger,
and triving for that edge of peak
performance.
Thi team lacked the experience
nece ary to give any of the teams
in the league any hard-core competition. However, with a team coni ting of mostly underclassmen,
they could only promise good
thing to come in the future. Most
importantly, at the end of the eaon, the team had learned, improved, and put experience under
their belts.
The team included six outstanding eniors who accomplished
much in their individual meets.
One of the mo t memorable accomplishment came when the
team really pulled together to
nearly beat Lincoln, one of the
stronger wre tling teams in the
DPS. Although the team fell short
by one match, this moment will
live in high regard in East High
School wre tling. Outstanding eniors included Robbie Bonfiglio and
Jame Rice. Bonfiglio held a 14-0
record, becoming a truly
undefeatable wre tling machine.
Jame Rice al o accomplished an
outstanding 11-2 season.
The work put into wre tling i
much more than meet the eye. A

wre tier' toned body and tough
endurance level didn't appear imply overnight. Competitions were
rigorous and demanding. Imagine
ix minute of direct contact on the
floor with an opponent. This can
be depleting on a wrestler' energy
level, not to mention the hour of
practice put in every day after
school, con i ting of re piratory a
well as body-building exercises.
The weight room was used for
building and improving the muscle nece sary to ucceed in wre tling. Once in hape, it wa also
important to learn the unique
wre tling technique involved. A
good or bad move could determine
the winner or lo er in an instant. It
was important to have both physical and mental control over one'
opponent.
Wrestling i not a port to be
taken lightly. It take a lot of
devotion, time, and motivation.
The work put into the sport is
much more than people realize. At
the beginning of the ea on, between 2 and 30 young men attempted the wre tling challenge;
however, at the end of the ea on,
the team consi ted of less than ten
devoted men. In the future, the
team need to work on commitment and unity.

The var ity girls ba ketball team
wa like glue holding two piece of
paper together. The player played
a a team and tuck together. Since
mo t of the enior played together
for four years, they were familiar
with the move of their other teammates and knew the trength and
weakne e of the other players.
Over the year , a girl ba ketball
improved, o did we. Moving the
ball effectively down the court,
dodging opponent , and pa ing
off when necessary, the team
showed their fluent teamwork.
Thi con i tent teamwork wa recognized by the fan a well a
Coach Graham who pointed out
that the tate tati tic even
howed the teamwork of the Lady
Angel . one of the girls were
ranked at the top of the tate in
tati tic becau e all had imilar
numbers. Shooting and rebounding tati tic were almo t identical
for all player .
At the beginning of the ea on,
the team's goal wa to return to the
playoffs, but in all of their mind
was the major goal of winning a
state championship. The overall
record proved that the Lady Angels had a good eason, but they
did get off to a slow start. After
early losse to TJ, the team wa
forced to make orne quick
change . By the end of the ea on,

though, East and TJ had tied for
the league champion hip, but a
forfeit by TJ gave Ea t the final
title.
New players on the team included JV tandouts Renita Clements, Darcell Carter, and Wendy
Wilkins. Each of the e player adjusted to the var ity succes and
performed well when called upon.
They made the switch to "the big
time" ea ily. Transfer student,
Tarina Tate, also made her way to
the var ity without a problem. Although seven of the team members
were eniors who made major contribution to the team over the past
four year , the team i tructured
so that the returning nucleu of
player will continue with the winning tradition. The experience
gained thi year will enable them
to win next year. Coach Graham
commented, "Even though three
or four of our enior will probably
receive major college scholar hip
and that is pretty exciting, we are
looking forward to continuing our
winning ways." Although the
team lost key players to college
and greater plans, a great JV team
will move up and continue the
winning way of the girl basketball team.

�The Shot Heard
Round the World
The 1990-1991 ba ketball seaon may be compared to a very
large puzzle, mi ing a very mall
but vital piece. The team pos e ed
all the piece of the puzzle nece ary to make it to the top, however,
they were lacking that important
piece of teamwork.
When a ked about hi overall
view of the sea on, Coach Lohman
tated, "The team had a lot of
individual talent. However, they
lacked the cohesivene s of playing
together a a team to actually
make it to the top." This year's
ba ketball team wa ba ically
made up of talented individual
uch a enior Malcolm La ter,
Choice John on, Mike Woolfolk,
Kirk Stevenson, Kory Wilson, and
Johnny Jones. Outstanding underclassmen included Leonard
Redwine, Wayne Bolden, Lee Seaman, Mike Klever, and Sean
O'Connor. After having the experience of playing on var ity this
year, these players will form the
nucleu for next year' team.
Overall, the team lost the games
it was uppo ed to lose and won
the games it wa uppo ed to win,
with a few exception . In other
word , they fulfilled their ba ic
goal but did not exceed them. For
example, the team defeated We t,
Kennedy, and Lincoln all twice.

The e were the games the team
wa uppo ed to win. They al o
lo t twice to Manual, Montbello,
and GW, the team with higher
ranking according to the tate.
The e were the games we were
suppo ed to lose a well. Fortunately, the team's los e again t
Manual, Montbello, and GW did
not count against u for tate qualification becau e tho e team were
in the 6A classification. There
were also a few exception , however, such as in the game against
TJ, South, and North. Although
the Ea t team wa uperior in talent, the teamwork fell apart and
cau ed lo e to team that we
hould have defeated. The SA classification put us at the top of the
league because they basically beat
the teams they had to beat. The
team' ending record placed them
in second which meant another
outing against TJ for di trict qualifying. A in the pa t, TJ reigned
and the Ea t men's basketball eason came to a frustrating end.
The men on the var ity basketball team were a talented group of
individuals who went far in the
ea on. However, it' hard to forget how far they could have gone
with a little unity.

A new breed of angel have jumped up
into the girl basketball cene. The JV
and freshmen girls ba ketball players
proved that they will oon be var ity
material. Throughout the cour e of the
ea on, the coaches as well a the fans
were impres ed by their performance .
After a lo in the early part of the
sea on, the junior varsity team strived to
regain their potential for greatne . They
worked hard to improve their skill and
teamwork. Their ucce in later game
wa aided by their ability to work together and not be elfi h on the court.
Thi ability also helped to overcome
orne deficiencie in other area . The JV
had a lot of talent on the team and
because of this talent, some of the JV
players were moved up to play varsity a
well as JV. Coach Graham, the var ity
coach, eemed to be very excited about
the future of girls basketball. The JV wa
looking good . The team wa alway
excited to play and a lot of fun to watch.
The fre hmen proved to be a quality
team too. Their teamwork and natural
ability to be great athlete helped the
team become winning angel . Nevertheless, the freshmen had to face a problem
that hindered their performance: lack of
practice. They didn't have the advantage
that the varsity and junior varsity did of
practicing every day. They u ually practiced three times a week with games
whenever they could be cheduled with
other DPS team . Even without the
con istent practice, Coach Wink felt that
their willingne to work hard would
make them excel a individuals and a a
team.
So, in the future, watch out for JV and
fre hmen girl , they' ll be hot.

�MOMENTUM
men in
motion

The junior varsity boys basketball
team "took a few hits," thi year as
Coach Sturge explained. But, nonethele s, the team came a long way. Starting
off the ea on with a young inexperienced team consi ting of only two junior and the re t sophomores and freshman, Coach Sturges anticipated the
problem that would ari e during the
sea on.
The boys were committed to improvement and their hard work paid off. Their
toughest competitors were, like the varity, GW and Montbello. With team
leaders like Ryan Short, Preston
Schiefelbein, and Shieawen Benjamin,
the team grew and pro pered. As mo t
people know, the junior var ity is a
prototype for the varsity of the future.
Another purpo e of the JV is to build
unity. When a team goe through wins
and los es, they grow together a a unit.
Their strength comes from one another
as well as the coach. Together they build
their skills o that one day their team
will be a well-oiled and perfectly functioning machine. With the ucces and
leader hip of thi year' JV, Ea t i
promi ed a top of the line var ity in the
years to come.
The freshmen were also uccessful this
season. They worked well together and
were determined not to lo e. Their best
game was against one of their bigge t
rivals, GW. The team worked well together becau e they were determined to
win. Their worst game wa again t Manual. The team was unprepared for thi
important game and, a a re ult, lo t.
Thi turned out to be their only lo of
the ea on. With their continuing determination, however, the team will continue to conquer other DPS opponents.

The Gentlemen's
Sport
In today' culture, rugby has the
tereotype of an incredibly brutal
sport played by oafs. Obviously,
not too many people out there
under tand thi highly intellectual
and complex sport. Rugby only
brings out the be t in the athlete'
agility, coordination, and strength.
No other sport can match this.
A pair of cleat , a mouthpiece
and a big leather oval ball are all
that is required to play the game.
No pads of any sort are allowed,
but tape is recommended so that
ear are not ripped off. Fifteen
players are allowed for each side.
The rules are imple: it is much
like soccer and football combined.
Throwing the ball forward is not
allowed, but kicking it i legal.
Tackling the opposing player or
stripping the ball from his hands
are the only way to stop the forward movement. Mostly, the game
con ists of the two team running
up and down the field making
lateral passes to each other to
avoid being tackled and to gain
ground.
There are only two occasions
when play will stop. On one occasion when there is a penalty, a
"serum" will be called . The two
teams will take eight men and bind
them together in a way that each
team is pushing on the other team.

Then the ball is rolled under thi
mass of people. The " hooker" i
the one man in the middle that will
fish the ball out of thi mess, where
then a teammate can weep it up
and continue on with play.
The "line out" is called when
the ball goes out of bounds. The
two teams line up perpendicular to
each other and a teammate will
toss the ball in. This is similar to a
jump ball in basketball, but it involves 16 men all going for one
piece of leather, just to gain po ession.
In preparation to the beginning
of the season, senior Allen Hahn
commented, "The key to happiness is a ball in hand and a defender on the ground." Obviously,
rugby players must love to be able
to move freely up and down the
field, knowing that any minute a
defender might either strip the ball
from them or take them to the
ground .
Rugby may not be a sport for
everyone, but for anyone who
lacks some controlled violence in
his life, or likes to wear heavy,
cotton, collared shirts, might enjoy
looking into the sport. Those who
are clo ely involved think it's
great.

�If The Suit
Fits Wear It
Although the men's swimming
and diving team had difficulty
maintaining the reputation donned
by the 1990 undefeated, city championship team, they did manage to
hold their own with the unrelenting support and determination of
Coach Lessard and the team's dedication. "The swimming team was
committed to winning and getting
a better understanding of swimming. This proves we will succeed
and the oxen will always move
slowly," commented senior Mike
Maguire.
Outstanding performances were
achieved by junior Will Robb who
qualified for state in his specialty
events and senior Mike Maguire
who qualified in the 500 free.
Reese Roper also impressed DPS
with his diving ability.
Swimming requires not only
natural ability, but practice and, as
senior Rick Overby said, "It's a lot
more challenging than people
think, and since swimmers must be
dedicated athletes, swimming deserves the same respect other
sports receive." Junior Will Robb
added, "Swimming is like the Divine Comedy. Practice is purgatory, winning is heaven, and losing
is hell." A swimmer must learn
how to most effectively propel
himself through the wat~ at the

98

fastest possible pace. One of the
factors includes Newton's third
law of motion which says that for
every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction. The pulling motion becomes the action and the
resulting propulsion through the
water is the reaction. When the
swimmer weaves the hands in an S
motion, he pushes against still water all the way through the stroke,
therefore getting the most resistance and propulsion. Drag propulsion is not the only force, since
the swimmer is near the top of the
water. This is because H20 molecules are more tightly packed together than air molecules, making
a person's body buoyant. Other
important factors include the angle
and shape of the hand. According
to Bernoulli's principle, by chang
ing the angle of the wrist from 9C
degrees to 45 degrees, a difference
in water flow is created which
results in lift and propels the bod)
forward. The physics of swimming
is similar to that of an airplane,
using water resistance instead of
air. Making use of these physics
factors enabled the swim team to
not only improve individually, bu:
continue to excel as a team.

�It's Time
To Play
Baseball is a sport that clearly
demon trate the concept of ph y ic . The mo t e sential feature of
the game all involve projectile motion. Obvious goals of baseball are
achieving a maximum speed in the
pitch and great distance in hitting.
In addition to kill, accuracy, and
trength, the e objective can be
accompli hed by under tanding
the complex rule of physics.
The art of pitching is trongly
influenced by the spin of the ball
and its interaction with the urrounding air. Without air re istance, the path of a ba eball would
be predictable and easy to hit. But
with the natural air re i tance, a
pitcher must make angular adju tments when throwing the ball. For
the greatest horizontal range requiring the least amount of force,
45 degree i the ideal angle to
launch the ball. The next tep involve the collision between ball
and bat. A batter mu t tran fer hi
strength and momentum at the
time of impact in order to accelerate the ball in yet another projectile motion. By combining the elements of angle measurement and
initial velocity, the outcome i
maximum distance of the ball.
Complex calculation produce the
conclusion that making contact
with the ball at an angle of ten

degrees by the bat and an initial
velocity of 60 meter per second
results in the greate t distance of
projectile motion.
The baseball team conquered
the laws of physics and continued
the tradition of excellence. Returning to the field with last year's
ucce sful season, the team put in
many long, hard hour of practice
in hope of improving their third
place league ranking.
However, the year proved to be
one of adju tments for the team.
Losing key player to graduation
left East with a young team. But
thi was no ob tacle a Coach
Severtson pointed out. "It i the
be t group of freshmen to ever
come through Ea t." The team
was graced by the talent of freshman shortstop Andre Champagne
and enior Phil Smith, Jaime
Alvarado, and Vance Cockrell
who provided stability and leaderhip. But teamwork and guidance
from Sev, more than anything,
pulled the team through a winning
eason. "One of the highlights of
East baseball is Coach Sev," commented first ba eman, senior Phil
Smith. "The team i always a winning one under hi direction, and
thi season was no exception."

mark

The ultimate challenge: one ball, one bat,
four ba e . I there any wonder that ba eball is one of America' favorite pa times?
There i always the sun hine, the hotdogs,
the comeraderie that re ult from pending
three hours at the ball park. ot to mention
the numerous movie , book , and magazines that feature the port of ba eball.
Throughout the year , Ea t ha developed
a JV team which mold young athlete with
potential into unique ballplayer . Junior
var ity ba eball is the starting point for
tho e intere ted in playing ba eball. This
team wa designed to di cover and develop
new talent. With the a i tance of new N
coach Ron Capra, it ha been given the
dignity it de erve .
Some attention, however, must be paid to
the phy ic of ba eball. There are the obviou elements: the preci ion of the ball
hitting dead center on a wooden bat with a
cri p home run smack! There are al o the
more eriou element : the harp reflexe
required to teal ba e and the eye coordination that tune the batter to the pitcher.
The e are kill that allow ballplayer to
truly become great at what they do.
There are, however, tho e a pect of
ba eball that may puzzle the average fan.
For in tance, why doe econd ba e eem o
far away? Or better yet, do pitcher really
talk to their ball ? The heroe that come out
of ba eball eem to Ia t lifetime , but why?
There have been a lot of heroe in the past
few decade and a number of them are
ballplayer . Everyone from Pete Ro e to
Tommy La orta have made headline ,
bringing ba eball clo e to home. Although
ba eball on the whole cale ha had it hare
of conflict and controver y, Ea t ha continued to play the game with pride.

�The Hottest Thing
In Keeping Cool
This year's girls track team
could be compared to an extremely
powerful bomb. Just like a bomb,
the team had a lot of power concentrated into one single team.
They had talent just waiting to
explode and blow the competition
away.
According to Coach Turner, the
girls team definitely had the ability, and it was up to them to pull
it together and use it. Comprised
of several talented individuals such
as Dawn Riley, Margot Quandt,
Florence Adu, Jayna Taylor, and
Helen Otti, these women pressed
the ability as well as motivation to
make it to the top. Some may think
one is born with talent, however,
through rigorous workouts and
challenging meets, others have
earned their place on top of the
charts. One of the main keys to
success in track is dedication. In
order to be on top, it was important to show up to practice everyday. Practices involved several
workouts according to one's event.
If one was involved in field events,
then weight lifting was beneficial.
However, if one was involved in
track events, then speed and endurance workouts were important.
Many may wonder, why run? The
answer is simple when one understands the glory and satisfaction of

104

ROAD ANGELS

passing the finish line with a winning time.
Track is a team as well as an
individual sport. The girls worked
together, encouraging each other
to exceed limits and strive for personal bests. With the encouragement of a team, individuals as welll
as the team excelled. Running for
success involved breaking both
physical and mental barriers always striving for the top. The girls
were able to improve individually
as well as succeed as a team.
Though one may have possessed
talent and motivation, many are
unaware of the actual physics behind track. One of the basic con-I
cepts of track is D = R x T
(Distance is equal to rate times the
time.) For example, if runner X
covers a distance of 400 m (once
around the track) in 50 seconds,
one could compute their speed by
simply dividing the distance by the
time. Therefore, runner X would
have been running at approxi- 1
mately 8 m/s. This is interesting
when compard to the average
speed of a car in the city at 40
km/hr which is actually 12.5
m/sec. If one is in shape, it might
even be easier to run to places!

�On The Beat
And Track
Over the year , the track team
ha had one goal and that i to
compete again t and defeat the two
big powerhouses: Montbello and
Rangeview. A
tate champions,
Montbello bowed their ver atility
at the short di tance while
Rangeview, on the other hand,
excelled at the long distances. In
order for the East track team to be
good, athlete needed to compete
in both world : di tance and peed.
Luckily, the team had both with
printer Damon Finley in the hurdle and Spencer Cheek , Mike
Hopfner, Brian Benard, and Earne t Smith in the 4 X 400 meter
relay. On the di tance ide, Eric
Schranz, P.J. Leonard, Charlie
Heisterkamp and Chri
Hei terkamp held their own
again t other teams long-distance
runners. In the field event , Ea t
al o had talented individuals including Cordell Stephen , William
Prosser and Clifton Cobbs who
participated succe sfully in the di cu .
During practice, Coach Allen
concentrated on di cipline, motivation, hard work and the will to
win. These stake might have been
tough for some, but in track, when
the competition i tough, the practice and the mental state must be
tough too.
Looking beyond the hard workout and rigorous meets, there was

another ide to track : the academic
ide, pecifically the physic involved . Many are not aware of the
actual phy ic involved "behind
the cene ." For example, the velocity of a runner may be found by
dividing the distance traveled by
the time involved. Furthermore,
the acceleration of a runner may be
computed by dividing the velocity
by time.
The ucce of thi year's team
wa attributed to not only the hard
work of individuals but al o a few
other contributing factor . With
the addition of a 6A classification,
our track team was able to remain
at the SA level and thu avoid the
head-to-head matchup with
Montbello and Rangeview who
both cho e to compete at the 6A
level. The new divi ion basically
allowed us to move up in rank. The
addition of Coach Tarver to the
taff also helped to boo t the motivation of the team while the reliable a i tance of team manager
Melanie Ba
al o aided in the
team' succe .
Overall, the team had an extremely ucce sful year. Although
they suffered lo e to graduation,
they till had a returning nucleu
of runners who were challenged by
success.

�Swing Into
The Action
The game of tenni i enjoyed by
millions of people throughout the
world. Player of all abilitie have
taken part in thi wonderful game
that can Ia t a lifetime. To many,
tenni i merely a game that involve batting a ball over a threefoot high net. However, to the
more experienced player, tenni
become a game that demand
quicknes , agility, intelligence and
tremendou eye-hand coordination.
To acquire great ucce in thi
sport, a player mu t look beyond
athletecism alone and think about
other aspect of the game uch as
the physics of tenni .
Many top-ranked player apply
some kind of pin to the ball when
they hit it. This pin, whether
topspin, ide pin, or backspin,
helps a player control the ball
better. To put pin on the ball, a
player mu t adju t his or her
stroke. To put back pin on the
ball, the stroke and the racquet
head mu t come from above the
ball. For side pin, the racquet and
tring must bru h on the ide of
the ball. When u ing top pin, the
mo t popular and natural troke in
tenni , a player mu t wing from
below the ball and continue upward with a high follow through.
This i ju t one example of a ituation in tenni that applie to the

108

laws of physic .
Thi spring, the girls tennis team
expected to ucceed. Only lo ing
two eniors to la t year' graduation, players uch a Meagan
Garnsey, Heather Wagner, Anna
Hawthorne and Andrea Ben on
moved up. Coach Phil Krou aid,
"This year, I hope to take more
tennis players to tate." La t year,
four girls traveled to Pueblo for the
tate tournament.
Daily tennis practice included
running around the lake, running
sprints, and playing matches.
Team members also played drill
games and challenge matche .
With such a young team and with
several other team moving up into
the new 6A classification, our 5A
classification might make us unbeatable. Each year, the team is
invited to an invitational tournament. This year, the team participated in the M&amp;M tournament,
which included other chool from
around Colorado. This tournament gave the team an early indication of their potential ucce s at
tate. The team al o competed in a
JV tournament. With a trong fir t
win, girls tenni will be on the road
to victory after victory and a winning ea on.

�The Movers And
The Shakers
Soccer is a grueling game which
requires it players to operate like
finely tuned in trument . In order
to be an effective player, one must
dedicate time and energy to practice. Through practice, one gain
the kill and tamina needed during the actual game.
Ju t as in any other sport, a
typical practice i made up of several different parts. It i al o made
up of a variety of activities which
help get the player into better
overall condition. An average occer practice consist of et of drills
and crimmage that Ia t about an
hour and a half. There are sprinting drills to increa e the player's
re piratory circulation a well as
dribbling, passing, trapping, and
heading drill de igned to improve
technique. Practice al o includes
performing lide tackle , one-onones, and suicides. Another drill is
the hooting drill. Shooting is vital
to the game of occer and require
not only skill and practice but
timing as well.
In order to shoot a successful
goal, the vertical direction of the
ball must be in line with its horizontal distance. The ball reaches
its maximum vertical di tance at
half of it total horizontal di tance,
o it is nece ary to accurately

judge the distance between the
player and the goal in order for the
ball to get there. The rea on that
the ball travels a greater horizontal
distance than a vertical distance i
becau e the horizontal velocity i
greater than the vertical velocity.
An acurate angular velocity i also
required when kicking the ball.
Enough force mu t be applied by
the leg to move the ball at the
correct angle and initial velocity so
that it arrive at the final de tination: the goal. Even though thi
eem like a complicated process,
it only take a few second to
complete the action and hopefully,
if everything works correctly, the
ball ends up in the goal. If not, it
is nece ary to just repeat the process and try again. It is the combination of all of thi which amke a
ucce ful player.
Thi year's team performed
well, winning key game . The players brought a variety of pecial
talents to the team which helped
them to work well together and
lead them to victory. Returning
member , along with the new ones,
and the help of Coach MacDonald
brought the team together and
unified it.

�PASSAGE TO
the height
of competition
Although the var ity field hockey
team didn't actually win any games, they
were tough competitor . Junior Li a
Klapper said, "We had good individual
player , but we couldn't come together
a a team." Even so, the team made the
quarterfinals and ucce fully completed
the year. With great pride, the JV field
hockey team won a game again t Smoky
Hill for their fir t win in two years. As
the young team improve , they al o olidify their chances of completing a winning season.
The JV girls occer team claimed that
they were much more relaxed than varsity. Junior Molly Harlow said, "It' a
lot easier to learn on JV and there isn't
any pre ure which make it a lot more
fun." Although there was a new coach
this year, the team showed no sign of
the change. Hard work and determination proved to be successful in helping
the team to compete with tough competitor such as Cherry Creek and Overland. The member of thi year's junior
var ity girl occer team bowed great
talent.

Frosh romance can be compared to cooking Sunday morning
pancakes. Have you ever noticed that romance at the beginning
of freshman year sizzles as pancake batter does on a hot grill?
However, as the months pas by, the pancake need to be
flipped.
Before high chool, guy and girls are all best friend and have
gone out with each other. By the time high school arrive , frosh
are ready for excitement and variety. However, the number of
new people can often be overwhelming.
The beginning of freshman year is the time to fall "head over
heels" in love. Especially of interest to frosh are those
ophisticated uppercla smen. New possibilities for homecoming
dates are dreamed of as the choice grows from the typical
middle school crowd. After picking out the perfect human being
to set one's heart on, the detective work begin . Sly maneuvers
are performed to get noticed. The cia s chedule ha been slyly
figured out, subtle walks to the right drinking fountain are often
made, and of course "the" locker is passed several times a day.
Red ink hearts and ecret code names cover notebooks, and
"the" sporting events are visited. Coy manipulation of telling
your friend to tell his friend to tell him to call you are
accomplished. Even annoying but unstoppable spa m of calling
and hanging up just to hear that sexy voice are also a part of the
enormous crushes many fre hmen have. For those with guts,
there is always the chance to ask for a ride home even though
there is the risk of a humiliating "NO!"
Freshman year has the highe t percentage of tudents who
experience love at fir t sight. As Dave Alpert ays "I dig our
girls," which sums up freshman attitudes toward the opposite
sex.

IT HAS A
NICE RING
When Thomas Edison invented the phone, he never dreamed
what it would become. The phone is far more important than
just communication; it is a lifeline between friends. Why does
the phone look so attractive to our freshman? Perry
McElhinney spends time on the phone so she won't "miss out
on all the excitement." When the phone sends out its shrill ring,
the fre hmanjumps, runs to the phone, and waits until the third
ring to an wer. No one want to appear too anxious.
The common respon e after an wering the phone i "Hi,
whatcha doin'?" The other re ponse, " othing, whatcha
doin'?" Teachers would be proud! In a poll taken among 45
freshmen regarding what freshmen talk about, 15 freshmen aid,
"I talk about who likes who." Twenty said, "I talk about how
my parents reacted to my grades." Ten said, "I talk about
weekend parties." Freshmen consider these topics important
and o doe the phone company. Parents install call waiting and
extra lines when their children reach this magic age.
Uppercla brothers and sister ee the phone a a hindrance.
It always means little brother or sister is looking for a ride. The
line i , "Hi, this is your little i ter, and I was wondering ...
could you please come pick me up at my friend' hou e?"
"The phone was probably the be t thing ever invented," said
freshman Matt Lenhart. It's easy to reach out and touch
someone when they are feeling down or sad. With just a touch,
you can help those in need. Wait, that ounds like a commercial.
Freshmen and phones go together like Bush and America. You
can't live with 'em, and you can't live without 'em.

�DO THE
RIGHT THING
Entering high chool i a big change for many fre hmen. Not
only do they have to start at the bottom of the ladder again, but
they mu t make many important deci ions about what is the
right thing to do. Some of the e decisions include listening to
parent , cutting classe , getting good grade , and of course,
obeying the law. It's all too ea y to let peer pressure influence
the deci ion we make.
What tudents want to do and what they know they should
do u ually aren't the arne thing. People know that they aren't
suppo ed to drink, they know how important it i to turn in
homework and they know that they hould work their harde t
to excel, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Fre hman
Stefanie Schreiber commented "It' u ele -you do what you
want and when you want to do it. No one can change your
mind." Doing your own thing can be con idered rebelliou . Just
think, orne of the mo t famous people in our history were
"rebels," such as Einstein. Other tudents take the safer route,
preferring to stay out of trouble. Freshman Mitch Wyatt thinks
that doing the right thing i "Easier than listening to your
parents yell at you when you get in trouble." It's true. Obeying
the rules and not trying to rebel has defmite advantages. For
in tance, there won't be any con equences to deal with because
it' a rare occa ion that omebody gets punished for doing what
he believed to be the right thing. Another feature is that there
won't be any guilt to deal with; in fact, it feel good to be able
to turn in a completed as ignment, get a report card or be
commended for good attendance.
Making the right deci ions and doing the right things are hard
choices to make, especially for freshmen being faced with all the
new pre sures placed on them in high school.

What really gets on your nerve ? What is it that drive you
ab olutely crazy? Nearly everyone ha omething that they
cannot tand. Even though it may be something as small a the
way your be t friend chews gum or how your first hour teacher
i always in a good mood on Monday morning , it ju t eems
unbearable at times. Pet peeves, no matter how petty, can seem
so annoying.
For freshman Sareana Pinson, "having to walk everywhere"
is the ultimate annoyance. One of the cur es of freshman year
is not having a car or friends with a Iicen e. After a while, being
chauffeured around by parents does not have the same
attraction that it used to and finding another mode of
transportation becomes necessary for survival. Walking is
usually the primary alternative and unfortunately, this too gets
old quickly.
Another one of life's little problems is having to eat lunch on
the esplanade every day. When the weather is nice, it's great, but
those persistent bugs aren't. "All of the bee at lunch time" pose
an aggravating problem for Gail Crispin.
Difficultie with transportation and nature are not the only
things that di turb people. For Tyler Haring, the thing that
really drives him crazy is "when you wear a hat or glasse and
someone walks up and takes them off." Although some people's
pet peeves are more or le complicated than these, everybody
has them. Although sometime it is difficult to pinpoint exactly
what your pet peeve is, you ju t know that it's there and that it
irks you every time it come up. If thi is the case, don't worry,
ooner or later you will figure out what it i and then you can
annoy it right back.

"High chool is a big jump from middle school." This holds
a Jot of truth. High school provides not only academic
challenge , but social and personal challenge as well. The key
to getting off to a smart start i to ask your elf about what kind
of goal you have. It is important to realize what you would like
to accompli h. Many time it i easy to become lo t in the sea
of life with one wave after the other crashing down. However,
do not fool yourself with your goals. Many people fmd it too
easy to do a lot of impressive talking, but when it comes down
to the actual execution, tho e same people find it nice and easy
to back off. Goals require effort and commitment. By setting
short term goals as well as long term goals, it is easier to set and
motivate our elves in the direction of the e goals. With
direction, acceleration, and a future goal, we prioritize our
clas e and our time. In making goal , it is also important to
make them realistic. Freshman year is a time to adjust but also
a time to realize our growing responsibilities.
In getting off to a smart start it is also important to realize
that fre hman year does count and it is not a year to blow off.
Many fre hman are faced with the problem of "freshman year
screw up " which may prevent on-time graduation. The violin
is played far too often to the enior who should have, would
have, or could have, but didn't. We don't imply sit in the class
rooms to fill graduation requirements, but to Jearn omething
as well. Learning is a privilege. It is a law of human nature that
we always want what we can't have. If education was put out
of our reach, we would fight to get it. We must Jearn to
appreciate and take advantage of all our opportunities.

�NOT YOUR
TYPICAL LINE
Many ophomore have
problem with being late for
cia or getting homework in.
But in tead of the boring excu e like " orry" or the "Yeah,
I'm late, o what about it?" we
tend to be more creative.
When you are late, you have
three choice . First, the teacher
is even later than you (unfortunately, this is u ually unlikely).
Second, if the teacher' back is
turned, you can sneak into your
eat (a! o a rare occurrence).
Otherwi e you will have to rely
on number three: all talk.
Homework i a little bit different. Talking your way out of
it i till your be t bet. Of course
you could alway u e the ever o

popular, "You a igned homework?" a sophomore Mike
Klever doe with an incredibly
cluele look. But when you
have time to think about it, a
type of cleverne come out. "I
pilled pop on it, left it in the
gym locker and cockroache ate
it," explain ophomore Stoney
Je eph.
You mu t admit that the tudent are good at the untypical
line . But what can they ay,
there are year and year of
experience on this subject.
Can't wait for the higher education. Bring it on.

It creeps up from a mile away.

A light coat of hiny sweat collect on your face, followed by
a red hot, burning en ation
that ets your cheeks on fire. At
thi point, there is no way to
hide the fact that you have done
something really tupid and
now, the proof of your embarra mentis written all over your
face.
Some of the mo t embarra ing
ituation for ophomore involve the oppo ite ex. For
A ha White, Angie Henry,

"when you like omeone and
omeone talks to him and tell
him and he come up to you."
The fir t thing Matt Garcia
think of when he imagine
him elf blu hing i "a king a
girl to homecoming and having
her ay NO really loud." Dan
Knopf feel him elf unintentionally wearing hi chool

color when he" neezes in front

Many blu h a a re ult of dayto-day problem at chool.
Ryan Short aid, "I get home
and find out that my zipper has
been down, probably since I
went to the bathroom during

Herbert i when "you get up out
of your eat and your dre

Price feel like never coming

Although many can think of
many time they have been

�HOW DO YOU
GET RESULTS?
Getting results is an important part of life, but not alway
easy. In high chool e pecially,
it is neces ary to know how to
get what you want when you
want it. The opinions on how to
succeed in this department vary
greatly, from the laid back to
the aggressive to the philo ophical. When starting on the path
for re ult , know where you are
headed and hope for the be t.
"You have to voice your opinion and tart at the top," explain LaToya Jones. This
method i mo t effective when
u ed against a tough opponent.
Just make ure you know what
you are doing o that you don't

end up with the wrong re ult .
A little creativity never hurt
when out to achieve re ults, and
you have to "use your imagination" according to David
Smith. It is also true that "the
only way to get re ults is to take
risks and do omething" a
Ellen Wilderman states. In the
end though, if all el e fails and
you get truly desperate, you can
do as Justin Pritchard doe and
"be really annoying."
In any ituation, just rely
upon the e handy guidelines for
getting result .

an wered, "They give it to teach
elf di cipline." Alma t all
teacher give homework, o
why don't people do it? Some
tudent don't do homework
becau e teacher don't check it
or only check to ee if something i written that look like
the a ignment. Sophomore
Ethan Wolf aid, "I don't do
homework becau e teacher
don't check it." Another tudent aid that orne teacher
collect very little homework, o
he only doe one a ignment a
week and get it checked off to

how it ha been done. Mr .
Judy Schwartz aid, "My tudent alway do their homework." However, junior Her h
Gilbert replied, "Teacher are
naive."
Mo t teacher know what
they are doing. In cia they
teach the tudent because
learning takes place in the cia room. Homework reinforce
what has been taught during the
day. If the tudent want to
learn or get good grade , he
doe homework. The re pan ibility of the tudent i to learn,
even if the force come from
another ource.

Hard cia e , college plan and the ocial

High chool student will experience

" tre " has an entirely new meaning.
Thi will be the hardest year in high
chool and after the first day of chool,
many juniors aid, "My cia e are o

when all of your work is done, you
realize that it wasn't worth tressing

WHIPS, CHAINS AND
A CHALKBOARD
Ha there ever been a time when you
looked forward to ditching a class the
next day, but couldn't becau e you found
out you had a te t? Or have you had a
teacher that gave te t on the material he
never covered or explained very well? If
thi happens to you, you've had teacher
torture.
One tudent claimed that teacher
torture them by not motivating them to
learn, and then blamed them for not
learning. Many teachers cover material
so fast that no one has any clue as to
what is going on, o everyone fails the
tests.
It seems that some teachers don't ever
seem to learn all the student's names and
this is torture. Ms. Schwartz said that
she tortures students "any way I can."
Mr. McGinnis said, "I don't talk to

them; it drives them crazy when they
don't hear me talk." Most people that
have had Mr. McGinni a a teacher
believe that listening to him practice hi
birdcalls while they are taking the te t,
i the worst torture from him.
Don't feel bad that the teachers torture you. You're getting back at them by
ju t being the tudent. Teachers like
mo t tudents and hate to ee them do
poorly in cia s. When tudents don't do
well in class, teacher often take it personally because they think it is their fault
for not teaching well, when much of the
time it is the student's fault for not
learning. So if you don't do well in some
classes, you probably don't have to
worry about getting back at your teachers for torturing you.

ALIVE WITH
PLEASURE
The simple plea ures of high school
can be sitting outside at lunch, having no
homework on chool nights or ju t falling a Jeep during a philo ophy lecture.
That is, if your teacher let you go off to
dreamland. Sophomore Colin Jared aid,
"My simple pleasure i falling asleep
during my geography cia ." Some students have just one pleasure and some
have many. Such as Tracy Voss who
love to "Party on the weekend, sit and
chat with my friend and daydream in
class." Let's face it, high school can be

one plea ure after the other; that is, if
you're willing to follow the e procedure . Fir t, don't let tre get to you,
even though you have a ixteen page
paper due the next day. Second, relax
and take it one step at a time. Third, and
mo t important, do not fall a leep in
clas if you drool or if you snore. Believe
me, following these directions could lead
to all the success and plea urable moment you could ever dream of.

WAITING FOR THE
CURTAIN TO FALL
As junior begin the school year, they
have no idea of what is to come. The
hardest academic year of one's entire
life, and most tre ful, is the junior year.
While waiting for the curtain to fall, one
experience tre , nervous breakdown ,
severe butterflie , and the ultimate dread
of next year and college applications. As
junior Bridget Beatty put it, "The harde t thing about junior year is knowing
that everything you do with school will
affect whether or not you get accepted
into certain colleges."
Waiting for the curtain to fall can
mean many different things. As junior
Jenny Werner aid, "I am so tired of
people saying how hard thi year is. We
all know it' hard, so let's just try to

get it over with a quickly as po sible."
Pressure i al o an emotion that many
juniors are familiar with. The pre ure of
doing as ignment leads to the pre ure
of getting good grades. The pres ure of
getting good grades leads to the pre ure
of getting into a good college which i
one of the mo t important things that
occurs in one' entire life.
Everyone eventually gets through
their junior year. The ultimate element
of waiting for the curtain to fall will be
the first day of enior year. At last, the
final year of fundamental education has
come, and hopefully all the hard work is
worth it.

everyone. Student and teachers alike
prayed for orne ort of relief from the

would have to wait until the latter part
of the month.
Ninety-five degree temperatures followed day after day, only making it
apparent that East wa without an air
conditioner. Every window in the chool
wa left open, in hope that a cool breeze
would wirl into the cia room . Students found it difficult to work and
concentrate in their cia e . Some aid
that they felt fatigued yet re tie .

noticed that carpeted rooms added several degree of heat. Junior Dan Mitzner
commented on the humid physics room
located in the center of the fourth floor,
"Physics is bad enough by itself, however, with the addition of no air conditioning or windows, it become almost
unbearable."
The heat wa not only in ide, it
eemed to follow people everywhere.
During fifth and ixth hour, students
crowded under the shade of a tree to eat
their lunch. Tho e involved in after
chool sport found little relief.
No matter what affect the heat had on
students, mo t survived. And for a first

·
It was
day of be Division
championship .
My class behavior was not exemplary; first period was
chaos. I couldn't concentrate. I struggled through my
first three classes and moved to fourth. I didn't know if
Mrs. Anderson was trying to give me an ulcer or heart
failure. There was a major research paper due that was
driving everyone crazy; everyone wanted an extension.
Mrs. Anderson came up with the ingenious idea that the
cia s could have an extension if the !aero se team won.
"What?!" I thought to myself. She even went on to
mention that I would play a key part in the game. The
whole class glared; I looked innocently back. The rest of
the day was more of the same; I survived. All I could
think about was Mrs. Anderson saying, " ... only if the
lacrosse team wins."

�e the difference
Adapting to a new environment is alwa frightenin
and difficult. I I ft a mall private s n I, where I f I I
belonged, to go to a Jar e public high scho I, here I felt
lost. Making new friends and eeing old ones from Bromwell Elementary School after six years made me realize
that change isn't so bad if I allow it to happen instead of
fighting it. Adapting to the environment truly was an
experience which opened my mind and gave me a dose of
the real world. Sometimes life won't be easy. This school
ha made me realize that I will not alway know people
and feel comfortable, and it ha taught me that change is
e entia! to urvival. I must accept who and where I am
in order to adapt to new environments which will make
life flow a lot moother. At East, I experienced new and
unexpected things which I might not have experienced
omewhere else. These new experiences added to my
under tanding of how the world works. The good things
and bad thing each contributed to experience that allowed growth in ociety. The most important value which
I extracted from my adaptation was the importance of
knowing who I am and where I am going. High chool is
a prep cour e for the real world and life's expectation .
Sometime I had to let things happen even though I
didn't want them to, but in the end it made living a whole
lot ea ier and happier.

curio ity .. . curio ity to try to find omeone they could
relate to, but the embarra ment of being "caught looking" made them turn away.
the year progre ed, the crowd thinned and the
fear began to diminish, o a to make the daily routine
more tolerable; to make it ea ier for people to become
"acquainted" with each other. Gradually, I have come to

that I never got to know. It make me think, "Who are

people but great friends. I got to be close to some teachers here and I will remember them forever. When I

the people here are my family.
I al o learned many things during my four years. ot

Coming from a catholic school, I had o much more
freedom. This taught me self control. I learned that with
the good times there are bad, but it's always important to
keep your chin up and enjoy what you have. The diversity taught me how to make good choices.
East gave me many things. I will always remember the

went and the many things I learned. I will never forget
the good times East has given me.

the class of 91
Four years ago, the class of 91

the beginning it became very
clear that this was the premiere class. We hope that
everytime you glance back at
this special senior section, the
fond memories of friendship,
growth, change and learning
will remind you of the best
time of your life. Goodbye and
good luck from the senior

A New Approach
Students attend as many as seven classes per day, five days a week, 36 weeks
a year. Some classes are interesting, some are not. Naturally, tho e classes that
require physical exertion are more "intere ting" because they involve both the
body and the mind. Academic cla ses in the core areas of English, math, social
studies, and cience will be intere ting to those who enjoy the subjects, but to
tho e who are taking clas es ju t to fulftll graduation requirement , the clas may
not be as interesting.
What do teachers think about their own clas e ? Are they intere ting or not?
In teaching foreign language, Mr. Shioya thinks that his classes are interesting
because of the mixture of races, abilities and interests in each class. For Mr.
Hessel, a science teacher, it's the ubject - living things - that makes the cla s
interesting. To Mr. Boatright, student activities director, classes are interesting
when students become involved. To a music director such as Mr. Guinn, mu ic
clas es are intere ting becau e mu ic it elf is interesting. In Mr. White's math
classes, interest comes from exciting interchange with tudents and a playful
atmosphere. But, the best answer came from Ms. Feeney, who aid, "What a
stupid question! Of course our clas es are interesting or we wouldn't be teaching."

Quick Peek
Do students cheat? Do they cheat becau e they don't know the material or
becau e it's the social thing to do? Are teachers aware when their tudents cheat?
Mo t teachers are aware when their students cheat and depending on the
individual, different teachers have different penalties for tho e who are caught
cheating.
The mo t creative method of cheating that teachers have been aware of include:
Ms. Feeney finding that omeone had come into her room during lunch and
copied down the es ay and answers word for word. Ms. Feeney aid, "My stupid
mistake was leaving the door open." Mr. Douglas saw a creative cheating method
when omeone wrote the answers on the sole of his shoes. Mrs. Carrier observed
creativity when students wrote the answers to spelling words on their belts, then
checked the belts. When some students think they're creative, they really aren't.
For orne teacher , cheating is simply not the smart route to take. Mr.
Golembe ki noted that if tudent were truly creative, they wouldn't get caught
and thi would be a moot i sue. The penaltie of failing grade on the a signment,
O's and the teacher's wrath, minus point , and clo er attention in the future should
do a lot to make student think twice about cheating in the presence of their
eagle-eyed teachers.

The fU"St step. Finding out that doing his work is the first step, enior Chris Aiello gets it done.

Unbelievable
Who ha the corner on creative excu e for late or non-existent homework or not completing in-class
a ignrnent ? I it the tudent of the 90' or the teacher who wa the student in the 50's, 60's or 70' ?
It depend on who you talk to.
If you talk to the teachers, they can come up with orne pretty bizarre excuse for tudents not having
or turning in homework or not completing in-class assignments. Ms. Morrison said that one of her most
creative excuses included "I locked my knee in ROTC inspection and fainted and now I just can't take
the te t." From Ms. Cherry, the following excuse became one of the most bizarre, "I got "mugged" on
the chool bus and ornebody stole it!" From Ms. Schwartz, "My mother grounded me from doing my
homework." Then there i the tandard "The dog ate it or the bu ran over it." Not exactly creative, but
workable over and over again. Another one of the classic excu e was brought up by Mr. Miller who
noted that some students have used the excu e of a relative dying, but it's the sixth time that the same
relative has died. The best from Mrs. McNally wa "My morn wa hed it." Then there is the tudent who
uses a bizarre excuse, but it turns out to be true. Ms. Heimberger recounted, "There was one student
who left her homework at her father's house and the house burned down." For tho e who are creative
in their attempts to make up excuse , there are always teacher who will find humor in even the rno t
bizarre excu es.

�Clubs at East are one of the many ways students can become
involved in the school. With a wide variety of clubs to choose from,
it is easy for students to find just what they are looking for. The
selection ranges from politically oriented clubs to groups of community involvement and volunteer services. Clubs expose students to

Ever since a t came into e. t tence, it has been a
WILD place to be. Even though many thing have
changed over the years, there i still the same spirit and
excitement in the people here. Fifty years ago in 1941,
East was just the happening place to be, the arne as it
i today.
With nearl twice as many tudents. 2678 in 1941
compared to 1426 in 1991, there wa always someone
new to meet. Popular events that ear included a wide
variety of dan e , clubs galore, and a ·winning group of
varsity sports. If there was nothing else to do on a
Saturday night, there was urely a school dance to go
to and with names such a the lunkers Frolic, the
Bam Dance. the Saddle Shoe Stomp, the Juke Box
Jump and the Two-Bit Trot, where else would anyone
want to be? For the after- chool crowd there wa an
abundant 42 club to choose from There was the Script
Club, the Pre-Medic and Pre-La clubs, Girls Bowl-

ing. Table Tenm , Fencing Club. Square Dancing, an
astronomy club and a club for each cia s (41, 42, and
43). For the athletic types, there was the usual range of
sports ranging from a large, very successful football
team to a seven member golf team. or the girls there
was volleyball, golf, tennis and speedball (a combination of soccer and football). Overall, Ea t did very well
when it came to mpetition, capturing everal city and
state champion hip .
Some other quick facts about 1941 : the East Htgh
Constitution wa first written by the student counctl
that year, the newly opened lunchroom, then located
on the fourth flo r, was about as popular as it is today
and one of the mo t commonly used words was swelL
Hopefully, tradition will remain and East will remain a wild, wonderful place to be.

• Gathering around. Before the lunch bell rings on a sunny afternoon,
East's Angels anxiously await the beginning of 7th hour.

Looking back on the year and verythlng good and
bad that hap ned, tt is fair to sa that Ea t ts a truly
wild place.
From the S ptember heat wave to the seventy degree
days in November and December, then the arctic freeze
just before winter break, the weather eemed an indication of the kind of year it would be. The threatened
teacher strike before the winter holiday and the work
slow down by orne teachers upon returning from the
holiday added orne extra pep to the year.
One of the po itive aspects of the year was that East
was designated as a Historic Landmark, insuring its
preservation for years to come. In December, teachers,
students and parents from the community spoke before
the Denver Landmark Association who then took their
recommendation to the city council for final passage.
Also, during the course of the year, everyone should

have been ufficiently mspired after li temng to motivational peakers such as Lonice Bias, Dave Roever and
Young M.C., each of whom had a spectal message to
impart to student .
However, the motivation and
sittvene s failed
when frustrated students tried to find eating places
when the traditional two periods for lunch was combined to one during second emester.
Completing the year and adding to the atmosphere
was this year's prom at the Tabor Center and graduation at Boettcher Concert Hall.
Although the 1991 school year will soon be over. it
won't be forgotten. Everything that ha hap pend has
added to the feeling and character of a t Htgh, forever
a WILD place.
