Rare rain Weather dampens Squ'irms and worms were just a part of the Biology Trip to the Verde River. Because of rain, the trip was cancelled two days in a row, and the kids grew restless and eager to go, according to Biology instructors Robert Sill and Roland Nunemacher. Mr. Sill and Mr. Nunemacher brought their troups in high spirits of having fun on a warm, sunny day. Once they got there, everything would work out nicely, so they thought. Although a few unexpected events occurred, the day did go fairly smoothly, according to Mr. Sill and Mr. Nunemacher. As for Patty Powers, sophomore, this wasn't the case. Every- one expected to go swimming after their work was done, but Patty was caught in a whirlpool and was rescued by Matt Landavazo, sophomore. I liked getting the crawdads and scaring the girls with themf' said Willy Marquez, sophomore. However there were other things to do other than col- lect crawdads, such as gathering micro- scopic insects. Freshmen and sophomores were a big part in this trip because they com- posed the 144 member group. Most all of them thought that the trip was a vacation away from school, and they liked getting away from it. Worth- while is the word for itf' said Robert Perez, freshman. Tests were the next thing to look for- ward to, but not everyone was enthused about it. Don Dismuke and Nanette Haws thought up various schemes to do, but they were all in fun. All together the great adventure was fun and a good experience. Students can't wait until next year's work day of Cskip day?j - April Graffa ll SPLASHING AROUND AFTER their work is done are Brian Huggins. sophomore. and Kim Diulus. freshman. 25 SOPHOMORE DAVID HUNTER looks into the fresh. shallow waters for organisms on the biology field trip at the Salt River. 33 PULLING THE RIVER weed off her arm is Wanda Voller. senior. 47 COOL WATERS refresh Joanna Diulus. sophomore. at the Salt River. 53 CHECKING FOR THE C02 content of the Salt River is Kalia Bumpas. sophomore.

ROLAND NUNEMACHER. science teacher and son. Scott. at Open House talking to parents. . Parents had their day in school, but a lot of them ditched, the only difference is they didn't have to go to detention. Open House Oct. I2 gave parents the opportunity to learn about their chil- dren's school. Teachers discussed class policies, courses of study, discipline procedures, and displayed class materi- als. Parents followed a simulated sched- ule of the students classes. Each class lasted ten minutes with a five minute break between classes. - Mr. Gilbert Juarez, counselor, said, It can be very beneficial getting par- ents involed in the education of their children. . Many parents apparently felt differ- ent. Teachers were extremely disap- pointed by the parents lack of interest. Mr. Roy Beikman, business teacher, said, The bad thing about Open House was that the parents weren't interested, as I saw eight sets of parents all evening? The lack of interest might have been attributed to the final world series game being aired that same evening. We hope that maybe that was the rea- son there weren't more parents there, explained Secretary Sherry Bracken. For those parents who did attend Open House responses were favorable. Most felt it was a very enjoyable and beneficial evening. After classes parents retreated to the cafetorium for refreshments and enter- tainment. The Young Spirit group pro- vided music, singing a host of tunes. Gospel, patriotic, love, and memory songs filled the air. Cafetorium Man- ager Marion Burnap prepared and served cookies and punch. Teachers always tell students, You're only hurting yourself by ditch- ing, the same held true for parents. - Sue Vaughn Take ll9 Spotlight 4
