'Elf you want something done, do it yourselff, said 16-year-old Matthew Landavazo. This exuberant sophomore may as well have been speaking of him- self. For many, Mattis busy schedule would be enough to throw them into the hospital with a nervous breakdown. Matt has been very active in all kinds of activities, but the ones that one really sees him participating in are the school plays. Matt played the charac- ter, George Gibbs, co-starring with Bonna Cummings in the first play Our Town. During the summer between Matt's freshman and sophomore year, he spent over 450 hours behind the scenes as the architect in the design of the new Drama Room. He also stands in authority as the vice-president of the Drama Club and supports it avidly. He was elected the sophomore attendant along with Tara Jenkins dur- ing Homecoming. During the pep assembly, the Drama Club put on a beautiful skit depicting 'fMemories in which Matt held a major part. He sang a medley of favorite tunes depicting a teenager's love for life and friends. He expressed his feelings about being the center of attention by saying, I felt like a specimen in Biology lab, but it was still neatf' Matt's hobbies consist of playing the guitar, singing, dancing, acting, paint- ing, designing, drafting, and just being with people. He said that his plans for the future are, to go to college and major in architecture and triple minor in drama, speech and music. 191 WHEN ASKED WHAT was her favorite sport and why, Kelli Armsby said, Basketball, because you can see the guys closer up. 203 JANICE NICKEY, SOPHOMORE said, lt took me four months to get a yellow belt in karate, but I love it.

Quickly shutting off the lights, Cindy said she could not help but laugh. Edye fdrama teacherj came into the sound and lighting booth not all too happy. She saw me laughing and told me it wasn't funny, then she started laughing with me, recalled Cindy. Cindy lights up the stage with her acting tal- ents as well. In Flowers for Algernon she por- trayed Mrs. Feldman, a snobby rich lady. In addition to acting she controlled the lights. The whole affair got a little hectic for Cindy. I would have to turn the lights on for the curtain scene, run around backstage so I could come on. then after my little bit. I would have to run around the building to tum the lights off, said Cindy. Cindy wasn't exactly comfortable doing the lights that night.

She is also a cheerleader. is involved in track, and is Sophomore Club histo- rian. Tara has many hobbies including riding horses, drawing, traveling. and meeting people. Being out in front of so many peo- ple on the field was a little scary, and I was afraid I might fall or trip getting out of the carf, said Tara. Homecoming had a lot of activities to participate in, and the one she got the most out of was the bonfire. Class yells were a lot of fun, and they pro- moted more school spirit. Tara contrib- uted by helping with the float and bon- fire. Her future plans are to go to Mesa Community College, and then she probably will continue her education at Arizona State University. Getting the spirit up in the school and keeping it that way and involving the whole student body in activities to help our school be the best, is what Homecoming means to me, said Tara.. -Gloria Perez 192 AT THE DRAMA Club carnival, chorus was one of the few clubs or classes that participated in the fun and games booths.
