A Tale of Two Cities, a left-foot sneaker, a wilted rose, the periodic table, a moldy sandwich, a graphing calculator, wads of already-chewed gum, Brinkley’s American History: A Survey, smelly T-shirts, Eastside issues, countless pens, pencils, erasers, scraps of paper, a cell phone, malodorous socks,...

Boy With Biggest Backpack: “Don’t bring me down”
October 19, 2011 • Sarah Robbins ('13)/Eastside Staff
By now you must heard of a new menace that plagues our halls and terrifies our students. The kid with the biggest backpack, nicknamed the backpack boy, looms over our halls like a shadow, primarily because most of the time he’s blocking out the sun. Those of us with pale skin do not appreciate this... Read more »

October 19, 2011 • Gilana Levavi ('14)/Eastside Editorial Assistant
My name is Mr. B. Z. Teechurr and I am the busiest teacher at East. I know, you think all teachers are busy—they have to educate the future generation, while grading papers, updating progress-book, frightening children, etc. —but I assure you; I am the busiest. Here. I’ll show you: 1. Before school,... Read more »

The “hobo” look is hot
April 11, 2011 • Demitra Hashishi (‘11)
Demitra is comfortable all day, every day I’ve been in this school for four years now. FOUR. Do you know how many hours of compiling cute outfits that is? I don’t know either, but it’s tiring. I’m proud of my sweat collection, honestly. I’ve got a motley of college jackets, sweatshirts and... Read more »
I am the most boring kid you will ever meet
April 11, 2011
Hello. I don’t really know what to say because I’m so boring. I figured “hello” was a pretty standard greeting. So, yeah. I still don’t really know what to say… Maybe I could talk about the weather. Last time I checked it was raining. Rain is pretty boring, you can’t do much in the rain,... Read more »

Hi, I’m sophomore Dora Findlemen, a.k.a “Fact Girl.” As you can probably guess by my nickname, I know some pretty wicked facts. Oh, phfff.... Read more »
Everyone’s seen a fight at this school but me
April 5, 2011 • Benji Oswald ('12)
I never see any fights. Never. I’ve been at this school four years and I’ve not seen one. Benji has yet to witness a fight at East That brawl in C-Wing intersection that turned into a rumble? Missed it. The Day Of The Catfights freshman year? Wrong place at the wrong time for all of them. Jensen’s... Read more »
I can only express my true thoughts and feelings through deep, metaphorical, Shakespearean, poems
March 14, 2011 • Lulu Pao ('12)
Lulu ponders the meaning of life...in iambic pentameter, of course. True beauty ist thine nature. The life we liveth now is the façade for unknown horrors; unspeakable mistreasures; masked misery with which we associate our lifeless bodies. These halls host the shadows we overlook to camouflage the... Read more »

So, I like totally LOVE all the hottest trends. Usually, I secretly scope out what other girls are wearing and blow daddy’s paycheck on the next big dig.

My Life of Affluence and Material Comfort Stinks
March 8, 2011 • Tom Geofferson ('11)
Hey. Do you know who I am? Probably not. Nobody knows who I am. Nobody understands my pain. Nobody. My name is Tom, but names no longer mean anything to me. Not since I realized how much my life sucks. My parents both make steady livings and all my material desires are being met, and do you know how... Read more »

I’m that annoying kid in class that makes you want to hurl
March 8, 2011 • Jack Yandel ('14)/Eastside staff
You know that kid that sits next to you in class that smells a little funny and chews on the pencil you always give him to borrow? You probably wouldn’t recognize me because you do everything in your power not to look at me while I’m sticking boogers under the desk or shooting spitballs at the whiteboard.... Read more »
My math class is driving me insane
March 8, 2011 • Wendy McDonald ('12)
I’m a pretty smart kid; I get good grades, I’m involved in after-school activities, I have a good group of friends… you know how it is. First marking period, junior year, I (for the first time) get a “C”… all because of my poor excuse for a learning environment. Let’s see… first, I’d... Read more »
