East

This year is a little different than our previous years, but aren't we used to that by now? This year instead of homecoming king and queen we have the E.A.S.T. Homecoming Court. We have four different students that are selected for homecoming court. The E stands for extracurriculars, A stands for Academics, S for spirit, and T for torch. Let’s get to know them and their thoughts on the change in tradition, as well as why they think they won their particular spot.

It has been quite a while since the East Drama Club has taken to the stage, but nevertheless, they were ready and excited to dazzle us with a performance of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. East High School’s annual show opened to an eager audience on November 12th and 13th. This play goes into depth about the trials and triumphs of love, the natural order and disorder of reality, along with imagination through the dream-like comedy. Shakespeare highlights the uncontrollable nature of love, using love potions, a crucial aspect of the play’s course of events.

We may go days without seeing this person, but this person takes good care of all of us behind the scenes. Any paper copy a student is given goes through IMC. In that room, the person who is in charge, Gail Lang, handles most of the copies.

October is a big month for the music department - the first concerts in the auditorium since December 2019 are scheduled to take place for band, orchestra, and chorale.

School dances can be some of the most memorable times of our high school careers. The sophomores and freshmen at East have never experienced our homecoming, so I sent a survey to determine what they thought about it. 

As exciting as it has been to return to a more normal lifestyle, anxiety has been evident in students’ lives. We researched the most prevalent issues students are managing and interview teachers about how you can make the most of this year. 

Extracurriculars are a great way to get involved with the East community all while doing things you are passionate about. You will be sure to gain some positive experiences!

Williamsville East’s music wing renovations started in 2018 and they’re finally done. With the start of the new year, musicians are able to enjoy the extra space. How successfully are the renovations working for the music wing? 

During Homecoming week, students showed their East pride by decorating the halls with a sea of red and gold. Seniors showed up in their best attire for the Homecoming Kickoff Assembly, where the Homecoming Court nominees were announced.
