Unfor- tunately, the Varsity team narrowly missed a win by a mere two points, Title Page 1 2 Waking up and fitting in Rising with the sun at 6:23 a.m. on Monday, August 27th, 1984, 2,078 people were at- tempting to train themselves to fit in and wake up on time for the next 180 days, excluding the cherished weekends. They were planning to fit into clubs, organizations and sports to compliment their daily routine. School had resumed after the always too short 82 day sum- mer break g and before we could stop it, Labor Day passed, bringing the closure of public swimming pools. Even before school had offi- cially begun, the building was alive with activity. District re- pairmen rushed to fit the pari- tally collapsed cafeteria wing roof together, while at the oth- er end of the hall, 1,894 stu- dents registered for classes. During the week of August 14th 21 volunteers helped reg- istration flow smoothly. Despite the extra help, the counseling office ran into prob- lems. Due to an unusual amount of schedule conflicts, many students were unable to see their counselors before the middle of the second week of school. To alleviate the over- flow of appointments emer- gency schedule changes were also handled by Dr. James Reitz, assistant principal. fcontinued on page 4.2 Opening Seniors, M l s e is a Watts, Paula Kerezsi, Maura Roberts, and Junior Kathy Puglisi, members of Trojanaires, perform at the is' acia Student Faculty Breakfast, October 10th.

Before the final cuts, the teams held practice twice- a-day. It was tough having two practices a day, but I didn't mind, said David Broshears, senior. We had to get ready for the season. At the hands of the Boulder Panthers the varsity football team opened their season with a disappointing 28-7 loss. Early September brought cool nights and the Homecom- ing celebration. The weekend of September 14 played host to the festivities highlighted with the dance Saturday even- ing. Mother Nature made Auro- ra her token guinea pig by roasting, blowing, drowning and flaking 5.2 inches of snow on the city the week of Sep- tember 24th. Sniffles, coughs and sneezes were heard throughout the halls as the changing weather wreaked havoc. Student f faculty relations started cooking with a break- fast first hour October 10. The aroma of scrambled eggs, ham and hash browns fanned through the basement of Burns Methodist Church. Even though the beginning of school came much too early, a little hardwork and determi- nation made it all fit together, and what could have been just an ordinary year, fell together. It was made to fit. 4 Opening Perfecting their talents weeks in advance, se iors Missy Watts and Loren Buzick rehearse for th production of Annie scheduled for mid-Novembe Sporting a casual outfit and obviously at eas Central's new Administrative Assistant, Fred Coll snacks during a varsity football game against Littl ton.

Memories that last Gallivanting around Central students could be found in air- port terminals, train stations, and rest stops all over the globe last summer. Chris Kramer, junior, who spent his summer in various locations throughout Europe, said H . . . traveling provides us with a wealth of learning and experiences that benefit us the rest of our livesf' After viewing the 23rd Olympiad in Los Angeles, California, Russ Foster, sen- ior, said The international aura watching the competition is an experience I won't forget. Other students, some on vacation with their families, saw a sampling of vacation spots- Yellowstone, Disneyland, and other national sites. Of course there re- mained the old favorite of going to stay with relatives. Whatever the case or place, what remained was in photographs to be looked at and relived for years and years. Some students labored diligently at their jobs since gallavanting about the world was not high on their list of sum- mer's priorities. Lisa Taylor, junior, played f'Virginia in the musical Okla- homa , presented by the Aurora Public Schools. Taylor also dressed as a wench at the Renassaince Festival. I learned a lot about my ambition and costume design- 8 Summer Diversions ing, that will help me later in life, said Taylor. Their experiences, though they may not have left Colorado, were travels into the adult world of responsibility. Probably the most common summer pastimes was spending lazy days gazing at favorite soap opera stars, hanging out with friends, frequenting fast food places and various malls. These students who participated in these activities, too, traveled into the realm of a special world known as com- panionship that was never forgotten. There was a bit of confusion as to the moving of the Fourth of July fireworks from Del Mar Park. No notice was given to the majority of the crowd, to most the change in plans was quite an inconve- nience. A spokesperson for Aurora Jay- cees, host of the annual celebration said the move was made because of crowd safety, the people often sat too close to the shooting grounds. But for most teens a slight change in plans only lended a little excitement in an otherwise hum-drum summer. Central students can grow on the memories from their travels whether ex- ternal or internal and that will provide a sturdy base for their futures.

Dressed in the fashion of the period, the gentleman posed for our camera at the Renaissance Festival in Lark- spur. Thanks to the Chinese, we can enjoy fireworks on such occasions as the 4-th of July and New Years Eve. At the University of Colorado Football Stadium in Boulder, specta- tors witnessed brilliance and excitement at the annual 4th of July fireworks show. At Del Mar Park, children of all ages were amused with the fireworks show on the 4th of July. Summer Diversions 9 :E Concerts add fun Michael hits town Even though it seemed like it should have been, summer was not all fun. Be- sides vacationing, partying, and shopping, many students worked. Since there were many fast food joints, shopping centers, restaurants, and other businesses, in and around Aurora, a great variety of jobs were offered for students. Seniors, Joe Page and Stephanie Harr, worked at McDonalds. According to Page, an advantage of working at McDonalds, is Hit prepares you for other jobs because it teaches you to be obedient and politef' One of the main reasons students worked was to earn some extra money for clothes or other basic everyday needs. A small portion of a student's paycheck was also used to buy concert tickets, which, depending on the concert, ranged from ten to twenty dollars. Due to a well planned schedule, many concerts sold out during the summer. Many students didn't hesitate to fork out the ten to twenty dollars for a ticket to see their favorite performer. K'Even though it was raining, they came out and put on a August 20 started out to be a nice, warm day, everyone was dressed for warm weather. By the time the concert started, the weather turned cold and drizzlyg however, the Eurythmics, Annie Lennox and D.A. Stuart put on a great performance, keep- ing the mood of the fans high. Billy ldol rocks Colorado with two sold out con- certs at Red Rocks arena, on August 8th and 9th. Lara Gibson, junior, spends her tree time working at Baskin Robbins serving multicaloric desserts, such as this hot fudge sundae, to customers. 10 Summer Diversions great show, said Rod Veatch, senior, about the GoGos Concert at Red Rocks, which was also very popular. Although there were many concerts and full Friday nights throughout the sum- mer, perhaps the biggest Friday night in Denver was September 7. James Taylor performed a sold out concert at Red Rocks, and Elton John was performing at McNichols arena. As if this wasn't enough, across the street, the concert of the year was being performed - it was the Jack- son's Victory Tour. The traffic going to the Jackson's Vic- tory Tour was backed up one-half mile before the exit to Mile High Stadium, and depending on where one parked, the cost ranged from 1 to 7 dollars to get a space. The ever-popular Michael Jackson and his brothers, Jermaine, Marlon, Randy, and Tito swept Colorado with sold out con- certs on both September 7th and 8th. Since this was the last big concert of the summer, one might have said summer went out with a bang! Then, it was back to school, homework, and tests. The GoGos, much drier now, performed a great concert during the ram at Red Rocks arena on August 17 Senior, Mark Putt, worked part of his summer at a local shoestore earning extra money for leisure tim activities.

The team is lead by Brent Kline l27l, James Bronstetter l28l, Derrick Washington t33l, and Gerald Steen Q44-l. Together again, Chris Maestas and Keith Nichol- son were crowned Homecoming King and Queen moments before taking their place on the floor for the traditional dance. Making use of nature's timetable, the freshman float was judged Most Creative. Anthony Palmer and Linda Dalmadge, Duke and Duchess, display the entry, Game keeps fans excited Early homecoming It came earlier than usual this year. One walked down the hall and found sev- eral idol worshippers, a few scattered to- gas and occasional glimpses of green and white. It wasnit long after the first day of school that the student body found them- selves running around preparing for this annual event. It was set for the 14th of September and there was a lot to be done. A theme had to be chosen, a committee had to be formed for the dance, royalty nominees had to be selected and of course preparatiions for the traditional Home- coming week had to be made. ln spite of the lack of participation during Home- coming week, the student body eagerly started building their class floats and pre- paring for the dance with the Cyndi Lauper song, Time After Timew as their theme. Perhaps no one was more eager for the coming of Homecoming than the Trojan football players. This year's Homecoming game was against the Gateway Olympi- ans and according to fans and sports pre- dictions, Trojans were a sure shot to win. It was a brisk and cold Friday evening at APS stadium. The cold did not seem to dampen the spirits of fans shivering in the stands as they anxiously waited for the start of the game. The atmosphere soon warmed up after a 40 yard touchdown interception by James Bronstetter which put the fans on their feet. This was the beginning of a very tough and close game. At half time, the Trojans were leading 13-O. The usual half time Homecoming excitement of class float competition took place. The Junior class float, a '56 Thun- derbird, was victorious this year. Although the team was ahead at halftime, the sec- ond half took a turn against the team's favor. Gateway's defense managed to shut down the Trojan drive and then their offense took over. Trojan's magnificent effort scored another touchdown the last two minutes of the game but still the final score was a discouraging 22-20, Olympi- ans. Although preparations for Homecom- ing had to be made so quickly and the Trojans lost their game, Mrs. Carol Miron, English teacher, said, l thought it was a very nice dance, well-organized, and there were people dancing all the time. Miron, along with other chaperones and students enjoyed the dance, the music, the atmo- sphere and as always the crowning of the 1984-85 King and Queen, Keith Nichol- son and Chris Maestas. In spite of the lack of participation dur- ing Homecoming week and the loss of the game, the rushed yet successful planning seemed like it was made to fit everyone's needs. Seniors did indeed come through, a bit late, and rumor had it that the only reason for not winning the first place prize was because of this tardiness. Dave Toliver, smiling confidently, looks as though the sen- iors had it cornered.

This is only one of the many occasions at which the drum majors must perform. Les Staadt, senior, supported toga day with his Hawaiian image . The design of this sheet was only one of the many seen around school. Participation down But still successful During the traditional Homecoming Week, one might have seen their peers dressed in some pretty far out costumes. What made this week a tradition was that every year students dressed up in wacky outfits to boost spirit for the Homecoming Game. Students were witnessed in every- thing from beachwear to togas. Participa- tion declined severely this year, although some students still joined the ranks of the hilarious. Senior Keith Nicholson re- marked they didn't have enough days that people could get into. The week started with a bang on Mon- day, which was beach day. Students donned hula skirts, lais, Hawaiian print shirts and shorts, OP sportswear and sun- tan lotion. The turn out for beach day wasn't as high as expected due to a lack of publicity, but all in all it was a good day. Tuesday was announced as idol day so students dressed as their favorite idols. Some costumes seen were the werewolf from Michael Jackson's Thriller,' video, Annie Lennox, and Tom Cruz. Michelle Vandyke iAnnie Lennoxl said, lt was fun, but not as much fun as it would have been if more people had participated. She also remarked I felt kind of weird, like everybody was staring at me. Every- one seemed to enjoy the good-humored fun of seeing their friends dressed up as their favorite idols. Before we knew it, Hippy day was upon us. So one might catch a glimpse of a once dominant beatnik. Thursday, stu- dents adorned themselves, as the ancient Romans did, with togas and sandals. Fi- nally, Friday arrived with green and white day. Students and faculty wore green and white apparel to show their truly apparent school spirit. This was probably the most popular day of the Homecoming Week. The traditional Homecoming Pep As- sembly broke tradition this year. Normally it would have been held outside, but the unusually cold weather forced the rally to be held in the gym instead. Some of the activities that took place were a pie eating contest and skits featuring the cheer- leaders. A tug-of-war was planned but stu- dents decided to go to lunch instead. Pizza was supplied for the participants of the tug-of-war, but a group of famished sen- iors ravaged the coveted reward. All in all, Homecoming Week could have been better if more students had tak- en part in the fun, although the students that did participate brightened the days during the week. Trojan Week 15 n Q ' A ', 'fr'fl.l?Ai:Q'ii,Sl lg v l izdffaulb Faculty breakfast eggsites! Lucky 7 is a great success! The aroma of hot pancakes filled the air and the sizzling of hashbrowns could be heard as one walked in the doors of Burns Methodist Church. It was time again for the Student X Faculty Breakfast. This great event occured October 10th 1984 and as usual was a whopping success. Approxi- mately 220 people attended to take part in the Student Government activity. 60 dozen eggs, 20 boxes of pancake mix, 20 loaves of bread, and 6 bottles of syrup were but a few of the delicious menu items included in this event. The early morning breakfast has been a part of Central for 7 consecutive years. Mr. Ray Best, Student Government Advi- sor said, The breakfast gives students and teachers a chance to spend time to- gether and develop an association other Junior Derek Yeager helps another junior, Kevin Motto, pour pancake batter into a pitcher at the Student X Faculty Breakfast, October 10th. New swimming coach and Earth Science teacher, Sam Hewson demonstrates his skill at catching a pancake as science teacher, John Green does the tossing. 16 StudentfFaculty Relations than in the classroomf' This held true as many students associated with numerous teachers on a more friend to friend basis other than teacher to student. This was the first year that an actual profit of 5158.21 was made. Perhaps the teachers who gave extra credit to students who attended contributed to the success. Or maybe everyone found out how much fun the breakfast really was. The fun began at 6:15 a.m. The coffee was perking and the cooks were standing around waiting for the rush. Is the orange juice ready?, , We need more french toast, ul-lurry up with those eggs! These were just a few of the many com- ments heard among the utter chaos in the kitchen. With many people in the kitchen such as Seniors Russ Foster and Jim Mitchell, Juniors Chris Kramer and Bevin Barbo, Sophomores Ken Halton and Shauna Shindler, things ran smoothly and the sup- ply met up with the demand. Despite the mass confusion throughout the morning and the numerous cooks in the kitchen, Sophomore Jennifer Todd said, The breakfast was well organized and the food was good. Maybe it was all fun and excitement and a good way to start out the morning. The bad part was it all ended so quickly. But then it was 8:20 and time for class to start. Cleaning up didn't take long and a good group of people stayed to help wrap up another successful event. -f sw 1 A J' . :Ja 4 f 4 I 2 , 9 W '4Q Ka Mx, ,X V, Vlnffgi 1. .,..-f 1vz4zf:: A-Q v f 'J 1 'ff yixi Ad' ' 2.59 .

HAnnie comes alive First big play a hit Plays are not for my enjoyment or the audiences'. They are tools to make people more aware, self-reliant and less fearful of the world around them, said Allen Ji- menez director of Annie, From the evening of November 15, to the sold out show on the 17th, and the first matinee ever, on the 18th of November, audiences left Central's auditorium smiling, singing Tomorrow, and ready to face life again. People have always been able to relate to the young, curly red-headed girl who lived in the 1930's searching for someone to love her, namely Daddy Warbucks. The Drama Department's production of this tender, yet comical play was amazing. Several audience members commented that it was much better than the Country Dinner Playhouse's show and just as good as the National Touring Company. All this did not happen overnight. Mem- bers of the cast and crews had their work cut out for them as it was, but to add to it all, the roles of Annie and Daddy War- bucks were doublecast lanother first at Centrall. Kim Huskins, Moria O'Toole, each were Annie, Loren Buzick and Jim Mitch- ell each were Daddy Warbucks. Despite headaches, colds, and near nervous breakdowns, lines, blocking, songs and dances were learned, sets built, a new sound-system set-up, lights hung and posi- tioned, costumes made and make-up put on. Cast, crews and the orchestra, a total of over 150 people put 100070 of their time and energy into the production. Students involved had various reasons for exerting so rnuch energy, Missi Watts lGrace Farrelll said, l enjoy it. You get a chance to escape from reality for a couple of hours . . . Loren Buzick just said, It was fun. l just enjoy drama. Everyone would have agreed with Will Housley lpit personl and Kim Huskins when they said that the best thing about the show was, becoming a lot closer with the members of the cast, the way the or- chestra and the drama department formed a family by working together to create a fabulous show.

Air Band Concert A syncing From the mellow sounds of Hall and Oates, to the hard rock sounds of U.F.O., if there was one word to describe the first 1985 Air Band Concert, it would be suc- cess. Not only was there a terrific turn out of screaming fans, but the senior class, who sponsored the contest, grossed over 700 dollars. Seven groups showed their stuff last fall including Loverboy, The Time, Hall and Oates, U.F.O., Devo, Prince and Madness. Backdrops and costumes were just as im- portant as the lip syncing itself, adding to the belief that these were the groups them- selves performing. Not only did the fans enjoy it, but the performers themselves were thrilled get- ting the chance to imitate their favorite groups. Senior James Ford, a member of Madness said, We were in no way interest- 22 Air Band Concert tradition ed in the prize money, we were merely in it for the pleasure. The judges for the contest were Seniors Vania Stone and Kim Nelson, History Teacher Mr. Small, and science teacher Mr. Hume. Stone said, We tried to judge fairly, watching for costumes, lip syncing, and the reaction of the crowd. When asked if there were any more Air Band Contests in Central's future, Ford said, We as the senior class are sponsoring the first ever outdoor contest, naming it Wood- stockn. Ford believed that the 1984 class president, Ron Girardi started the Air Band Concert to bring about the concept of con- certs to a closer realization. It was the hope of all who participated, that Air Band Concerts be carried on by all Senior classes. :fav I .

Parlimentary proce- dure! All those against, say 'Nay'! Do any of these phrases sound familiar to you? They should if you attended the 26th annual Student Congress directed by Mrs. Chopyak on November 30, 1984. All four high schools in Aurora participated with Gateway, Rangeview, and Hinkley each sending 2-3 representatives. The day began for the delegates at 7:20 a.m. when they assembled in the audito- rium as roll was taken. Following the pre- sentation of the flags, Dan Schaefer ad- dressed the delegates. Meanwhile, an air of excitement was quickly beginning to fill the auditorium as the time for the first debate grew near. Then, as it seemed the excitement level was reaching its peak, the debates began. The first resolution was one that proposed a closed campus for Central. After minimal discussion tap- proximately 10 minutesl a vote was taken. The resolution failed miserably. Although most resolutions passed or faled with relative ease, some were more 24 Student Congress difficult than others. Resolution number six, organ transplants, by senior Tuan Le, had a very hard time passing the House of Representatives. Following almost an hour of debate and one amendment, the resolution was voted on. It passed 40-45. But wait! A recount was motioned and seconded. After seemingly endless re- counts, the resolution passed by a count fo 41-40. In similar fashion, over at the Sen- ate chambers, resolution number four, drafting women by seniors, Jim Mitchell, Jim Ford, Russ Foster, and Derek Larsen, was difficult to pass. The resolution, which passed easily 'through the House, encoun- tered stubborn opposition in the Senate. Again following almost an hour of debates and speeches, it was voted on. This time the result was a 16-16 tie with the decid- ing vote resting on Tuan Le's shoulders. During a very tense five minutes, Le rer- ead the resolution and thought about his decision. Finally, Le broke the deadlock by casting an 'Aye' vote, passing the pro- posal 17-16. Other resolutions weren't quite so close. In all, four resolutions failed: Closed Campus, Nuclear Weap- ons, Expansion of Stapleton Airport, and Lottery funds. Genetic Engineering, Draft- ing Women and Organ Transplants passed. The House was made up of primarily first year paticipants while the senators were all in their second, third, and fourth years. Mayor Pro-Tem of Aurora, Mrs. Capra, spoke to the delegates as a closing, followed by best speaker awards. Jim Ford took best senior speaker in the sen- ate while Derek Larsen took that honor in the house. Best Junior Marina Finnin, Best Sophomore Stephanie Smith, Best Fresh- man Lyn Schrotberger, Best Junior in the Senate, Natalie Blake, Best Sophomore Shiela O'Toole. No matter what hap- pened during the day, the delegates felt that it was an experience worth remem- bering. It was great! It enabled us to feel the power of decision making at our fin- gertips. This kind of thing should continue forever! said sophomore Dan Constance.

During 6th hour, AP12 English, Todd Alcock be- comes the model Santa Claus with glacier glasses and all. Stars and bright lights were a major part of the Downtown Denver Christmas decorations. 26 Holiday Week Holiday season is illustrated by spirit The Christmas Season was upon us once again. Shopping malls quickly filled up with people trying to scratch names off their list, and by the music and decora- tions, one could easily tell it was that time of year. The Tabor Center had just opened and the 16th Street Mall was con- gested with shoppers and traffic from morning until night. Christmas activities were planned throughout December. The KIMN Pa- rade of Lights December 6, 7, and 8, the Nativity Scene at the Denver City and County Building, which was lit December 14, The Nutcracker performances from December 19 through 29, and finally Bonfils presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, December 17, these were just a few ofthe many happen- ings around town. However, one found out that the holi- day season wasn't all decked out to what it seemed to be. Prices skyrocketedg for ex- ample the popular game, Trivial Pursuit, the price rose from 323.00 all the way to 345.00 at the Denver. The weather brought temperatures down to the single digits, and if that wasn't enough, Cabbage Patch Dolls still caused people to wait in long lines, often resulting in frenzies. A great deal of controvery surrounded the 3rd of January. Many students and administrators could not understand why the Winter Break started on December 19, a Wednesday and school resumed January 3, a Thursday. Why did the break begin and end in the middle of the week? Lisa Landis, junior said, lt was better than having to start school on a Monday, and it gave us the week-end to look for- ward to knowing we only had two days. As for the annual Christmas Blizzard, there wasn't one. In fact there wasn't any snow, just freezing temperatures. This however was not able to dampen the Christmas spirit. Mrs. Bev Gomez, Ms. Jo- anna Hudson's secretary, spent her Christmas in Kansas. HI did nothing but loaf, said Gomez.

It was Wednesday January 19, 1985. Never before had Central's library hosted such a spectacular event. About 7:30 in the morning, a dozen nurses in M.A.S.H. outfits brought their equipment in. By 8:00 ofclock, the library was transformed into a mini mobile hospital. What was this spectacular event? The first annual Blood Drive. Central, in conjunction with St. Jo- seph's Hospital, volunteered their ser- vices to donate blood. 127 people signed up, but we weren't sure if they would comef' said blood drive chairman Chris Kramer. Kramer along with many student government members worked weeks in advance to make the first blood drive suc- cessful. They went to every classroom asking for donors and gave these donors constant reminders of their commitment. Constant reminders, good publicity and hard work made the first annual blood drive a success. Of course, one couldn't forget the do- nors themselves. Donors had to be 18 years of age or 17 years of age with a parent permission slip. Out of the 127 students and faculty members that signed up, the final outcome was 97 pints of blood for St. Joseph's Hospital. Other vol- unteers did not qualify for one reason or another but they did try. Not only did St. Joseph's benefit from this, but Central had 97 credits with the hospital. This meant that if any student from Central needed blood, he had 97 pints of blood ready for him. Never before had Central witnessed such a sight. Students and teachers hold- ing one another's hands for support, meanwhile on the other limb, they were saving lifes. The first annual blood drive proved that the Trojan team really cared. l l l l rm, rr. ' Aix 4 fr -W .Qi K A' .- ,,+ ., rf 9 ,EMP 53 , , flimlwi , .

Tracy Ann Backus and Jun Chul Cha walk off the stage after the graduation ceremonies end. A student's option January graduation Graduating at mid-year! This was an option for seniors who wished to get out in the real world after high school before their classmates had the chance. Most sen- iors didn't plan to graduate after the first semester, but if they were offered a won- derful job or a great opportunity, they didn't want to miss their chance. Dr. Reitz, assistant principal in charge of curriculum, said, I discourage mid-year graduation because I would like to see all students complete four years of high school. Graduating students from Central were Tracy Ann Backus, Jun Chul Cha, Janice Dee Jarrett, Felisa Newton, Tammy Mi- chelle Robards, and Min Woo Yi. Robards graduated at mid-year because she was offered a good job in the area of manage- ment. Robards said, I plan to go to col- lege in the fall but I want to maintain my job throughout college. Min Woo Yi, another graduate, decided at the last moment to graduate at mid- year. After he graduated, he planned to go back to his native country of South Korea for awhile. He wanted to go to col- lege but he wasn't sure if he wanted to attend college in South Korea or in the United States. Besides the six students graduating from Central, there were ten more from the other three Aurora High Schools and the Adult Evening High School. The com- mencement exercises were held at the Hinkley High School Auditorium on Janu- ary 22, 1985. One graduating student from each high school had a part in the exercises, and Robards was chosen to read the invocation. Mid-year graduation was a time when a few students felt the post-high school free- dom that everyone looks forward to feel- ing. So whether these students planned to go on to college or to make the big step into the working world, they possessed their diploma and the satisfaction of graduating as part of the Class of 1985.

This was the first line of the play that started off three great nights of success. This play was about a man, Mr. Sheridan Whiteside, who was going to dinner at the Stanley's house. A light misfortune, and Mr. White- side slipped and fell on the ice. He was wheelchair ridden and because he was so famous, fans swarmed the Stanley home. The cast list consisted of 36 hard work- ing, dedicated students. Try-outs were held January 10th, 11th, and 12th during lunch and after school. Each day approxi- mately 40 students showed up hoping to get that special part. The following Mon- day, the best out of all the students were called back for a final reading. Tuesday the cast list was posted and the students swarmed around it trying to see if they were one of the lucky ones. Not seeing one's name on the list could have ruined a person's whole week. Not many people realized that being cast in a play meant a great deal. Not being cast didn't mean that one wasn't good enough, only that there was somebody else better for that particular part. e Man Who Came to Dinner There really weren't any lead parts in this play, but there were some characters that had considerably more lines to memo- rize. Senior Shawn Smith got the part of Sheridan Whiteside, who was basically the main character. It was a hard decision to make for Jiminez, but most likely a very wise one. Seniors Jim Mitchell and Kim Huskins had the next two biggest parts. They were Bert Jefferson and Maggie Cutler. Jiminez chose this play over any other because it was funny and there was a large cast. The large cast gave many dif- ferent people the chance to perform. This play was easier to direct, but with the auditorium out of service, there was a challenge, Jiminez said. Directing any play involved many items. Blood, sweat, tears, euphoria, and time were five of the elements that Jiminez mentioned he had experienced throughout the play. The tears came at the end of the play along with the cast party. The cast party was intended for all of the members to sign posters and to thank everyone for a great time. A great time was what it was all about and everybody was looking forward to the tryouts for the next production. 3' 7 9 i A P Q E LQ LE ji S 1. 1. Qu' gk.

Some improvement It comes every seven years. ln 1984 it came on March 12th and lasted until the 15th. A group of educators, headed by David Wilkerson, Executive Principal of Pouder school district, visited Central to evaluate the overall performance of the school. This evaluation process was known as North Central. Before the team of evaluators came, each department was responsible for pre- senting a self-evaluation. There were many different committees which consist- ed of teachers, administrators, parents and students. Not only was the curriculum evaluated but every thing from the staff's performance to the building conditions were reviewed. It's always helpful to take a close look at yourself for improvement. ln this re- spect, North Central is helpful! lt was general consensus that this self-evaluation method was beneficial for the improve- ment of the school but this process could have been tedious and inefficient. Larry Stebbins added, I think however, that many of the evaluation tools tquestionsl were ambiguous and difficult to answerf' On the other hand, Chairman, Joana Hud- son commented, If you don't find out what's wrong, how do you get better? Yes, North Central was advantageous because in our current society, we must keep the curriculum accountable and per- tinent to the ever-changing needs of stu- dents in the district, said James Gav Ford, senior. Like everything else in life that involved many people and a variety of values, the North Central evaluation program was bound to create controversy. Yet the Tro- jan staff put their mixed feelings aside to work together for one goal. The goal of improving Central to fit everyone's needs.

In the off-season Soccer was not only a very popular sport around school during itfs customary fall and spring seasons, but this past year the excitement extended into the winter as well. Seniors and Juniors, guys and gals, all were participants in the fast grow- ing game of indoor soccer. The competi- tion took place at the Sports-A Rama Field in Wheatridge, with games Monday and Wednesday for the girls, and Tuesday and Thursday for the boys. S400 per team was the price to join league, beginning in November and con- cluding in January. While the Lady Trojans were basically getting into playing condition for their up- coming season, much of the attention was focused on the Junior and Senior Boys' teams. By virtue of the schedule makers, the two were slated to meet each other in the season finale. As time drew near to the January 12 showdown, the anticipation of the hotly contested match grew. While the seniors took a confident yet subdued approach, the younger lads put signs up, announce- ments in the bulletins, and boasted that they would be the winners. Several fans of each team made wagers with one another, and argued on who would be victorious. However the group who would claim Best at Central needed their players to prove it on the field. The defensive blows and offensive plays went back and forth in the early stages, but the class of 85 scored the crucial first goal and would never trail. The game Juniors came back to tie it, but the seniors struck again and led 2-1 at the half. It was obvious none of the 40-50 fans who attended were dissappointed, as the intensity from this well played, tenacious game was felt in the stands as well as on the field. The talented class of 86 evened up the score once again, but the seniors tal- lied another goal and were not to be de- nied as the 3-2 margin stood up. Derek Larsen, senior, said, 'Alt was very exciting and aggressive. From my point of view, there were great plays by both teams, but undoubtedly the seniors were the better teamf' All in all, the gutsy juniors showed they would be a top team for Central next year, while the classy seniors proved the intan- gible element of Senior Pridef' was over- whelming once again. -css, Y. -5 7 ,...,j .. :fp -.J ass,- f Q -.ar f-3 . . .

Girls'fBoysl Indoor Soccer Season 37 Inspired people turn to fads Express personality 8: style Fashions most often apply to dress, it also pertains to manners, speech, posture, walking, and even the shape of the body. Fashions were inspired by fads that came and went. Some people became involved in faddish behavior because fads can be widely publicized. Why did we need fads? Junior Bevin Barbo said Because we need changes, we can't always stay the same. Each person expressed their own per- sonality by the way they dressed and the fashions they chose. They express my personality and style, said Junior Paul Danko, about the clothes he wore. Teach- ers also got to see a lot of fashions. English teacher, Lois Kellenbenz said, First of all I think students at AC tend to be fashion- ableg second it gives them a chance to gg .. identify with a certain group, third I think it's harmful, because they just see the clothes, and can't see past the clothing in a person. Part of being fashionable and keeping up with the fads was being able to afford the clothes, which meant having a job was very important. The places people shopped also influenced the price of fash- ionable clothing. Many of the places these people shopped were D.J's, Chess King, Merry-Go-Round, Fashion Bar, and some of the inexpensive places such as D.A.V., Salvation Army, and the Goodwill. Fashions and fads were also influenced by singers such as Cindy Lauper, Boy George, and Madonna. Cindy Lauper brought the checkered look into pants, and made everyone feel comfortable with W s is H' iii' Q 1 :i.-: 451 - Junior Thomas Robinson, a fashionable male, shows us his latest look.

He also brought in out- fits, including hairstyles and make-up, that allowed the androgynous look to take shape. Another fashion that hit it big was the lacy sensual look, along with costume jewelry, given to us by Madonna. Students had various reasons to dress the way they did. Whether it was to keep up to date, to be original, or even just to please ones self. Senior Thomas Rogers said, I dress the way I do because I like it when girls say I look nice. No matter what the reason, Barbo said, Everyone should dress in their own way and not be afraid of looking stupid because I bet they'1l set a trend.

Sponsor Lois Kellenbenz felt that the service projects were an important part of the clubs pro- gram.

B When are we going to have some impact? was a common phrase heard from Aurora Central students. There was dissention among administrators and students in 1984, but for the first time, students were beginning to fit into the educational sys- tem. Senior Jim Ford said, 'Tor the first time in high school, I feel as if we, the students, are having a chance to tell our administrators what we think. The Stu- sei? K! dent Government played an integeral role in the effort to increase participation, spir- it and pride for Central's students. ln es- sence, the government was, The voice of the student opinion. During the school year, student govern- ment held meetings every other week, without fail. Many felt as if the meeting infringed upon class time by being held during regular class hours, but this proved false. Its falsehood was due, in part, to the great participation at the meetings. An item which always fit into the agen- da was, Uln my opinion . . . This gave students a chance to voice their point of view on any desired topic.

Its purpose was to organize and to carry out all things discussed at the meetings, it was impera- tive that work be done outside the two hours per month for meetings. The class of 28 student leaders fell prey to constant critisism because of its aforementioned, co-curricular labeling. Starting in 1983, students in the student government class were awarded credit rather than just act- ing as members of a club. The activities of the club ranged from a blood drive to directing a student break- fast. In contrast to the individual, grade government clubs, whose object was to raise money for personal goals, the school wide government attempted to increase student pride, participation. Student Government 49 lt is one of the best ways to get involved to find out what's happening and what's notf' said Robyn Nicholson, freshman. Nicholson, captain of the Freshmen Cheerleading Squad, has lead cheers for eight years. Mostly with Park recreation- nal teams. The young squad started out on a rath- er shakey foundation. The girls had prob- lems working as a team and argued about trivial matters. Luckily, they ironed out the difficulties to evolve into a coordinated group by the beginning of the school year. UI really feel we have come far, we now cooperate with each other, said Nichol- son. One of their main objectives was trying to control the exuberant fans at games and matches. The job was an easy one, the crowd was more concerned with spur- ring on the team to victory than causing trouble. Fans rose to the occasion with chants of L'Rooster and Mighty Tro- jans,' expressing excited support to the athletes. In conjunction with the JV and Varsity squads, the Freshmen earned money sell- ing calendars, Here the boys are 85 , and stuffed animals. Saturday, Octo- ber 27, 1984, the cheerleaders sponsored a Halloween dance with funds they had raised. It was great! We had an excellent turnout, everyone was jammin',', said Re- nee Evans, junior. Perhaps the only blemish of the year was the disappointing turn-out at try-outs. There were not enough participants to warrant a sophomore squad, so there were only three squads cheering. A lot of girls chickened out, they were afraid but shouldn,t have been, said Nicholson. Despite the concept of having one less squad, the year went well. The freshmen squad was able to stand up and cheer for The Boys' Varsity Basketball team is an- nounced to the crowd of students and teachers at the December 14 pep assembly.

There was something in the air, a new -and exciting feeling, one of change, want -and anticipation. The mood was decidely ,different than it had been. There is pow- er with the positive, and we had some I positive vibes flowing, said Sam Hewson, pep assembly coordinator. On Friday, De- lcember 14, the event took place, a hap- ipening which may have changed the un- predictable course of the future. On the day in question, at 10:00 a.m., 936 people congregated in the big gym to celebrate the beginning of the winter sports season. The traditional monthly pep assembly for December opened on a seasonal note, Santa Claus Il-Iewsonl ran in and started break dancing to his theme, Santa Claus is Coming to Town. He then proceeded to spin around on the floor. I am going to sponsor pep assem- blies until I am old and gray and can't break anymore, said Hewson. A committee was formed of those inter- ested in designing pep assemblies with spark. Ideas were thrown together, inter- esting and spirit boosting ideas, to unite the school, and charge the air with excite- ment. Several experiments were put on the drawing board, with hopes of success. One of the most innovative was Spirit- buses. The concept was to load a bus or two with 50-80 students, dressed in wild costumes and feeling rowdy with good clean fun on their minds. Once we get it going, other schools will be envious, and will try to incorporate our idea into their school, said Hewson. It just won't work for them, because they are not Central. There is so much to be proud of, yet many of the kids don't realize it. 42: ' wills SYXJYB In a moment of excitement, Sam Hewson snaps his fingers and leads a cheer as he tries to get the crowd's adrenaline pumping at the Winter pep as- sembly in December.

Who did we look to when we thought of someone who represented our school so faithfully? They were visible at games, spirit activities these were none other than our cheerleaders. What the crowd saw were girls per- forming acrobatically, making each move look effortless. To achieve this, they prac- ticed 2O hours a week, on the average. So 52 VarsityfJunior Varsity Cheerleaders the people saw none of the sweat, sore muscles, and fatigue experienced during the practices. Needless to say, this didn't include the struggle of keeping up their grades. The girls also had to contend with costs. A Varsity cheerleader could expect to pay over S330 for their uniform and its accessories. Junior Varsity cheerleaders' outfits ran as much as S119 for uniform and averaged as much as S5200 altogeth- er. Cost is only a small part compared to the responsibility a cheerleader carried. Two major responsibilities for a Varsity Cheerleader were to teach cheers to all cheerleaders and to cheer at all events. S X Squads had a large committment to aca- demics having to keep up their grade point average to 3.0. Although coping with the responsibil- ities and requirements was difficult, all agreed that the most enjoyable part was simply having fun. Junior Jill Brown thought of cheerlead- ing lt's a lot of excitement to get the crowd enthusiastic.

The Boots traveled all over the Front Range. They often competed against groups from Okla- homa, Wyoming and Kansas, only a few among many.

What exactly was the Trojan club? Trojan club is basically here to raise school spirit and to make school a little more enjoyable for everyone, said soph- omore Mary Weare. The Trojan club held a number of fundraisers and worked in the concession stand at many home basketball games. Mat Mates were another group that tried to raise spirit. Keeping stats, passing out wrestling uniforms, and keeping track of equipment were just some of the jobs the Mat Mates did. We're basically play- ing the role of manager.

Mat Mates were made up of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. With a sponsor like Richard West, Mat Mates were a very successful group. Another successful yet lesser known club was the Court Sports Club. This was another club that played the role of man- ager. Again keeping basketball stats, handing out uniforms, and performing odd jobs was this clubs task. Although things like that didn't sound like a lot of fun, the members of the club really enjoyed them- selves. lt gave us a chance to get to know different people and to have a good time,'l said Glennetta Jackson, a club member. g ig . 5 fr --LA, - V- . -rf '- iw' . +5 'Z Y Mat Mates: Front row: Jenny Jacobs, Becky Wolfe, Natalie Blake.

'KBeing in- volved can go as far as one's reputation, social life, and most important keeping one's grade up. For an athlete it is very important for one to keep his grades up. If his grades were to fall he would be consid- ered ineligible. But thatls only part of the involvement of a sport. Another involvement is being in a club to support his sport. Clubs are often needed to fund certain sports. For the soc- cer club, which is sponsored by Bill Cham- bers, they sold trash cans and jewelry in the past, and this year they raffled off sweatsuits to raise money. The soccer club is sponsored all through winter until soccer season. Junior, Jennifer Palmes, an active club member said, I like the sport and I enjoy the people, they're what makes it unique.

The swimming teams did many fun- draisers to support their team. They sold candy, t-shirts, and provided scuba-diving lessons at Central's pool. The fund went to help the swim team supply better equip- ment. Softball club was a year round club. They raised money in the fall to be used in February when the season got under way. Club sold multi-spice shakersg when they realized a profit of 800 dollarsg all the headaches were worth it. Nadine Heiss, sponsor of this club said, We're much like a sportg the difference between us and a sport is that we raise money. These clubs were active throughout the year doing various fundraisers to support their sport. Along with that, they promot- ed the sports.

Nothing really, except that they were three clubs that students had fun participating in. The biggest club, volleyball, played ev- ery Wednesday during lunch. Students joined the club to play volleyballg a main reason that guys joined was because there was not a boys' volleyball team. lt's a good place to let out steam, I love the v ' l sportf' said Roche Santos, junior. The Volleyball club did not have any fundraisers during the year, since they did not do anything but play volleyball. Their main event during the year was a studentf faculty volleyball game. Like the volleyball club, the bowling club only met once a week, on Tuesdays, the bowlers went to the AAA Bowling Al- ley. They paid 553.00 a week to bowl three games a week, and also to help cover club trophies, and a big banquet at the end of the year. Although the club's main event was bowling, they did have a few holiday parties throughout the year. Each year, they challenged Hinkley for a traveling trophy. Even though the bowling club consisted of only ten members, it placed fourth in the State Tournament. The State Tourna- ment was held at Sonesta Lanes in Den- ver, on November 17, 1984. The smallest of the three clubs was the Athletic Trainers. This club was the group of people that helped to care for and reha- bilitate an athlete after an injury, and pre- vent further injury from happening. It is rewarding to see a player improve after you've helped him, said Kay Masters, freshman. Unlike other clubs, the trainers do not have regular meetings, each trainer was assigned a certain sport, and was respon- sible for going to practices, and any game that the particular sport might have.

In some cases these clubs made school more bearable, in others it enabled them to participate in activities that were very enjoyable for students. ic Trainers f Bowling f Volleyball Clubs 61 - C6 You are participating in one of the most fun and successful clubs at Aurora Central. The Ski Club is at your service. That was what ninety skiing students heard at the beginning of the school year. And, the ski club was at their service. Dave Sharp, sponsor of the club put it simply, 'iThe main point of the club is to have fun. The ski club took 13 trips this year with prices ranging between 22 and 36 dollars. When trips were taken, Central was not the only school that went up. All of the Aurora schools went on one or two buses. Sharp said, We have never had prob- lems with the buses, no fights of any kind. When Sharp was asked how he got in- volved with the club, he replied 'KI was coaching sports, and got out of it because of time. I had little extra time, and the old sponsor was retiring so I took the job. Sharp plans to sponsor the club for quite awhile, and mainly enjoy the people in the club.

Parker said, I don't do as much as last year, but it does keep me busyf' She was the treasurer last year, but was handling the other offices, also.

The French and German Clubs were clubs which had high membership and were the most par- ticipated in clubs. The clubs were benefi- cial in many ways. It's an opportunity for making new friends as well as learning, said Mrs. Geri Dillinger, sponsor of the French Club. Although itls the French Club, it provides every students to meet and socialize with their peers,', said French Club president, senior, Jim Ford. It was the time for activities that promoted cultural awareness for which there wasn't enough time in class. The French Club was very successful as it had an average atten- dance of 23 members. The main goal for the French Club was to get more students involved and to try new and different ac- tivities. Some of the activities that took place were things such as ice skating, fon- fftlir I . due parties, and fund raisers. In accordance, the German club had a great year too. Sponsor, Mrs. Pat Allingh- am's feelings about the club were all posi- tive. Allingham said, lt helps to extend German influence outside of the class- room. The club consisted of approxi- mately 20 active members. These 20 members had the opportunity ot visiting Turnverein, Denver Kickers and Adel- weiss. All comments about these events were up beat. Some other activities that occured were the painting of one of the walls in the classroom and a big Christmas party. hf All in all, both clubs were very success- ful and productive. They both offered many learning experiences to help French and German students to better understand unique Cul tures.

They were the Spanish and Latin clubs and the Knights De Aztlan. The Spanish club had many fun- draisers. For instance, they sold nachos and sopapillas. For Valentines Day the club sold flowers that students could buy for their friends. This club participated in 66 Knights De Aztlan, Latin, Spanish Clubs Spanish and other foreign language fes- tivities learning about the culture. Was the club beneficial? Junior Kathy Puglisi said, I believe the Spanish club is a very worth- while club because you not only learn about tradition and foods of Spanish speaking countries, but you make good friends. However, Spanish club wasn't the only exciting club, there was also the Latin club. they worked ballgames in the con- cession stand selling food to the specta- tors. Every year the Latin club goes up to Estes Park to participate in a state con- vention. The members work hard all year learning the latin language and culture for Q l this event. Sponsor Nancy Moyers felt the club is neat, it's small but the kids are great! Another club was the Knights De Azt- lan. They raised money for activities through bake sales and Mexican dinners. The money went to such activities as par- ties, and other ways to fund the club. Allen Jimenez, sponsor of the club felt, the club provided a sense of family and be- longing. The club was organized two years ago by two students who felt there was an increase in the hispanic population and they needed to have a united organi- zation. For each student being a member of a r i l club enabled them to have a sense of be- longing. It allowed each person to be around other people who shared the same interests. Each student had the opportuni- ty to experience more fully the Social values pertinent in today 's times.

In the spring, the club went to a Busi- ness Olympics at the Denver Tech Cen- ter. This was open to all students, even those who were not in business classes. Math club had a full year of competi- tion, also. The big day for this club was Math Day at Colorado State University. At this competition, George Fang, junior, placed 7th in the state.

Imagine flying Ioftily above blue clouds on a sunny, breezy summer afternoon, or perhaps building a designing mission jets. These were just a few of the visions stu- dents had when they enrolled in Air Force l Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps lA.F.J.R.O.T.C.l. Some wanted to make a career out of the military, some wanted to learn basic leadership skills, while others just wanted to learn more about aircraft and aviation. A.F.J.R.O.T.C. offered all this and more. Our program is for the student who plans on college, is willing to work hard, yet takes pride in himeslf, said Major Livergood, instructor. The program began with students in ninth grade, starting with a basic course in the history of aviation. Rocketry, spacecraft and aerospace ca- reers were highlighted as specific points of study. During the second year, the study went deeper. Aircraft and spacecraft en- vironment, and principles of flight and i 1 i Nbwf ' ' navigation were examined. ln the final year, students went more in-depth with ventures into space and the mission of the military. A.F.J.R.O.T.C. wasnlt always a vehicle for enrollment in the military, but often one thing lead to another. Students com- peted to earn scholarships to colleges, and a nomination to the Air Force Academy. Competition for this valuable recognition was fierce. Admittance to the Academy was only available with a nomination, without one, acceptance was not even considered. Outside of classroom instruction, A.F.J- .R.O.T.C. was similar to most clubs. They printed their own newspaper, The Fal- con, with Gloria Chavez editing, held dances and potluck dinners. They also sponsored a visition day at the Air Force Academy. The drill team marched against several different schools. At times, few as 30 teams competed and as many as 60 teams at other times. A.F.J.R.O.T.C. isn't just a synonym for military, we are a group of people with the same interests and goals in mind, said Livergood.

The Future Homemakers of America, Health Careers and Art clubs were not exceptions. Membership is at a really good level and getting better, was the comment made by the three clubs sponsors. The main emphasis of Health Careers , sy was, to do something for someone else, according to Mrs. Phylis Starr, sponsor. This club was formed to help make kids aware of the health professions that are available to them, said Starr. She also said that the club members seemed more excited about their club than in the past few years. Future Homemakers of America is also a future oriented club that could possibly help students know what they want to do later in life. Even though the club's mem- bership was at a good level, Carol Gilbert, sponsor, felt that more guys needed to be involved. Some guys are turned off by the homemaker part of the club but they don't realize that somebody has to ,fl t A X., 2 ik was Q 4 :mg 5 iii' make the home. With all the single parenting these days many men are find- ing themselves the homemaker. The most important fundraiser that Fl-IA did this year was to put together a cookbook of all the wonderful recipes that Home Economics teachers all over the city gave them. Dawn McGinty, president, said that the club had improved this year because there were many more activities in which the club members could participate. The highest goal of the Art Club was the go to Taos, New Mexico during spring break. In order to achieve this goal they had many fundraisers.

Dramatic scenes like that were very frequent in the 74 Chess 8: Backgammon, Computer, Photo Clubs Chess Sz Backgammon Club. Unfortunate- ly, the club had lost a lot of interest among students. Consequently there was a small membership, We started off with 12 at the beginning of the year, but eventually ended up with only seven, said Mr. Nor- dahl, the sponsor of the club. Chess 8a Backgammon was a club facing extinc- tion, but with the help of its members, it was sure to continue for quite a while. Strategy, and the thrill of head to head competition wasn't for everyone though, instead some prefered the thrill of master- ing a machine instead. Meeting every Tuesday, computer club participated in a variety of events. Writing programs, doing homework, and starting an occasional fun- draiser were just a few of the things that the computer club did. Computers are the future, the people in this club will be 'the ones that are going to play an active part in the future, said sophomore Todd Philipi, vice president of the club. Another small group, the photo club was a very close knit group. They not only 'took pictures, but they had fun doing it. This was another group that never held a fundraiser, but is was probably because l they were already doing enough as it was. lAmong their list of activities, the photo club sometimes freelanced for the Tribune and the Yearbook, taking pictures when the other photographers couldn't. For the members of these unique clubs, the year almost seemed to fly by.

These clubs were made up of those few dedicated stu- dents who wished to excel in their chosen areas. These clubs emphasized improving writing and speaking skills. Mrs. Sue McPherson, the Tribune spon- sor and Miss Nadine Heiss, the Borealis sponsor said that their goal as advisors was to make their staff become better writers. Students will put much effort into their writing if their friends are going to read it, said McPherson. I-leiss be- came the yearbook advisor because she had been really interested in journalism since her high school years. She loved to teach yearbook and to help students de- velop interviewing, writing and designing skills. The yearbook and paper staffs both had many deadlines throughout the year which were very crucial to receiving their publications on time. This required many hours after school of hard work. The yearbook staff advertised their theme by wearing sweatshirts which seemed to make an impression on the stu- dent body to buy yearbooks. The 1984 Borealis received a silver award at the Colorado High School Press Association Yearbook Olympics held in Fort Collins. The newspaper came out once a month, but the yearbook came out once in the spring and the supplement was hand- ed out early the next fall. The Tribune won many awards for their paper includ- Q9 , rms TG 1 -, M' 5 wwe vc 'MADE fo 5 Y 'sf ' . 1 K . , -5 b yr , J 5 K AAQ513 A W7 'lil V 2.1 W . iff.. ffirafwr M H . . as ffl . W- if farms.

Mark Basham, ithe sports editor, won an award for one of ,his sports columns. One of the Tribunels main goals was to provide good coverage of as many school activities as possible. April Morgenstern, editor of the Tribune, felt that there was more staff cooperation iand the staff and newspaper were more professional. Speech Club was another extracurricu- lar activity that took a lot of extra time. Everybody should be able to speak, em- phasized Mrs. Angela Chopyak, sponsor of the club. The Speech Club published a 'fSpeech Club Handbook this year which they felt helped produce many winning speeches. Speech is the second face, said Chopyak. She explained by saying that people's feelings are expressed through their speech. All of these advisors felt that later in life people would realize how important being able to speak and write effectively was and how it will enhance any voca tion students pick. ,3-1.

V z , . 1 i it came to pep assemblies and games, they performed together. Sometimes one band feels that they are better than the others, but when it comes down to raising school spirit we get together and do one of the best jobs around, said sopho- more J.R. Billie. Probably the major contributor to the success of any band was the drums, and Central was no exception. We just try to be loud and cause as much commotion as we possibly can. This really gets the blood flowing, and when that happens, things start to get fun, said freshman drummer, Benjamin Billie.

During marching season lwhich in- cluded all home football gamesl the stu- dents would meet out on Illium field at 7:00am to practice their routine in any kind of weather. Unfortunately this vastly improved band never had a chance to show off their routine in actual competi- tion.

But it was a tradition for each group to provide their own proper attire. Each individual member funded hisfher own dress.

The main objec- tive of the Light Crew was to help in the Drama productions. The Light Crew also helped with assemblies, guest speakers, and any technical work that took place in the auditorium. Jiminez had his share of both the Thes- pians and Light Crew. Devoting time R helped produce positive results in both clubs. How Jiminez found the time for these activities plus the regular school day was a myth beyond explanation, however, he did it.

A feeling of accomplish- ment, said Amy Baker speaking for all of her fellow classmates. Mr. Kuckleman, counselor, said, The number one priority that a hopeful top ten student should have is organizationf' This was indeed a great accomplishment that only ten out of many hundreds of students are honored with and rewarded for. For some seniors in the top ten it was a fight to the finish. I-lard work and persis- tance, said Mark Basham about the most important quality to get one into the top ten. Most of the top ten did not always aim at the top. They just did the best job they were capable of doing. They didn't think about being in the the top ten until they were sophomores or juniors. Tuan Le, valedictorian, plans to complete college and enter medical school. These ten sen- iors were very relieved to finally get their diploma and receive high honors after twelve years of persistent and hard work. These students said they encouraged the seniors to keep up the good work and not to let the pressure get to you. Tuan Nguyen Le-Valedictorian Monica Beebe-Salutatorian Top Ten 91 ourse credits increase workload Even though the credits for this course selection were raised from SBQ to 4, it was still in great demand. What was so interest- ing that made the enrollment in these classes increase? Finally, what made the enrollment workloads heavier for the teachers? The answer to these three occurences pertained to English classes. Not necessarily just to English classes but the entire English department. The English department consisted of eighteen instructors including department head Jeanne Collins. Mrs. Carol Miron agreed with Ms. Lois Kellenbenz that the English department was the strongest and most effective in the school. The reason- ing for this was the ideas and suggestions that circulated through the department. As for workloads, all were increased. Paperwork, larger classes, and time were three of the main factors. One could have easily seen how difficult it was to teach 40 students in a classroom with the usual capacity of 35. One may not have realized it, but 5 students did increase the work- load for the teacher and increased the teacher fstudent ratio. One question that many students asked was, was English absolutely necessary in a career that wasn't English oriented? Clear communication, understanding, enabling logical thought, and finding out what it means to be humang were just three of the many reasons contributed by Collins, Miron and Kellenbenz for enrolling in English. It's the top of the heap to be a good education, said Miron. Kellenbenz also agreed and said, It is very important. This was contradictory to the feelings to many students who would have rather taken a physical education or art class to get out of doing required work. Overall, the three felt English had been and always would be an asset to anyone's education. lt was evident through raising the amount of English credits needed for graduation that there must have been some importance of English in an education. 92 English ns aqibirf English teacher Nadine Heiss gets ready to give her semester final to her freshman students.

Unfortunately, if a student didn't take any more than the required 2 math classes for graduation, he may not have known what the terms meant. With the Board of Education's revisal of the graduation re- quirements, the department was hoping to be awarded more credits. I honestly thought we'd end up with 1 more credit or even a split between math and science said Bob Troutman. About 9507: of my students felt that we should have more required credits, said John McCracken. Many students, most college-bound or those with a career in mind, planned on taking more than the required amount regardless. The department received new text books for Algebra I, Math I and II. Approximately every 5-7 years, a review is taken on the curriculum, including the books, to update the program. HWith the District Math Council's help, we are going to use the same books throughout the district. This will eliminate the prob- lem of an Algebra I transfer from Gateway to Central losing out on valuable time because the student had to switch books, said Troutman. This idea was helpful to all subject areas, but espe- cially beneficial to math courses as they were building blocks for each other. Perhaps the most exciting news from the department was the idea of introducing computers to the curriculum. The actual implementation was a year or two down the road, but the idea is to materialize. They are an excellent tool for learning, the best part is that they will allow me more time with the studentsf' said Troutman. After the additions and remodeling the school is to go through, the math department was to roost in the Cafete- ria Hall, rooms 140-150. The move will be a tremendous help for the department, as we will all be together in one location, said Mr. Gary Charles. With the slated move, computer additions, new textbooks and revised curriculums, it was not surprising that students opted to continue with their math educations. Mathematics 95 ntroducing the finer aspects of life With the variety of culturally oriented classes at Central, stu- dents were posed with the difficult decision of which one to take to fulfill the Fine Art credit requirement. Dr. Neil Lininger, head of the Music Department, felt that the arts requirement advanced mental skills. Specifically music re- quires a balance of the basics: listening, mathematics, physical education, social studies, history and foreign languages, Lininger said. It's one of the few human things left, said Band Director Mike Lucas. Despite drawbacks, both instructors taught because they liked to share their knowledge with talented students, which they considered a main asset of Central. The Music Department did not have a monopoly on talented students thoughg the Art Department was also comprised of students with better than aver- age artistic ability. The Art Department's program consisted of many varied courses to accomodate the different interests and backgrounds of its students. Some main concerns of art teacher Evelyn Lail were a lack of facilities and out of date equipment. The teachers were able to give students the opportunity for self-expression and a chance for a better appreciation of art. Students could appreciate culture not only in an art class, but in a drama class as well. Mr. Allen Jiminez felt his students learned about many facets of society, like the music classes did. He said Drama encompasses all . . . art, political ideas, work of great playwrites, history and style. The diversity of the people at Central provided the depart- ment with a unique cross section of people. The classes gave students a chance to succeed and have their success seen by all Kas in playslf' said Jiminez. All the fine arts allowed students to learn from other sources than just texts. It allowed them to express their feelings which would rnake them better able to live in a changing society. 96 Fine Arts Art instructor Mr. Joseph shows an example of a ceramic figurine to sopho- more Krista Zunich for her to use as a model.

If you had to, could you have typed an essay paper in under an hour? Could you have fixed your engine, or built some bookshelves? If you answered no to any of these questions, it was probably because your schedule didn't consist of many Practical Arts classes. The Practical Arts department was broken down into three section: Business, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts. With classes ranging from Independent Living to Auto Mechanics this department proved to be one of the most diverse in the school. Home Economics teacher Carol Gilbert felt that these classes were just as important as academic courses, I think lots of times kids see the application in academics, but practical arts courses can apply it. Gilbert also said, Home Economics gives you some hands-on experience in one role you're playing as an adult. These courses contributed to the well-rounded education offered to students seeking a full education. Students seemed to appreciate the partical arts classes, while realizing that they were as important as many academics. Sure it's important to know how to read and write, but reading and writing won't always get you through life. You need to know other things, said sophomore D.C. Pike. Just because they call it practical doesn't mean it's boring. That was exactly the idea the teachers of the department wished to get across. Although the importance of practical arts was often over- looked, it was a definite part of the curriculum, and the well roundedness of the student. Even if typing an essay in under an hour, fixing an engine or building a book shelf wasn't part of your aspiring future, perhaps just as a practicality could you have fit it in? Practical Arts 99 anguages are aliveg speaking another tongue Sprichst du eine Fremdsprache? Were you able to under- stand that question? Details later! The Foreign Language Department, with many goals in mind set out to achieve their number one priority, a Foreign Lan- guage Week. We want people to be aware of usg to realize that foreign languages aren't dead, said Pat Allingham, head of the department. A foreign language week was a relatively new idea, one which promoted involvement in the department. During the four day period, French, Latin, Spanish, and German lan- guages were highlightedg a different language for each day. ln the halls, signs were displayed under English words translated into the spotlighted foreign language. Traditional foods were sold at bakesales and students dressed up in costumes depict- ing the designed language for the day. Hopefully, students not involved in the department will become interested enough to pursue a language,'l said Allingham. Another goal was to add a section of conversational language to supplement a basic education. It was still on the drawing board, pending approval. This course would have allowed stu- dents to touch on the basics of a language without learning the mechanics. lt helps the student who doesn't plan on attending college. lt's an informative course, said Allingham. Taking time to learn another language wasn't on the agenda for all, but those who participated realized foreign languages weren't dead. Can you speak a foreign language?

Sophomore Lori Flickner felt that co-ed classes give you a chance to compete with people other than girls with your own ability. There had been one major change in the year's curriculum. The second year requirement program had been changed, students had to chose one activity from physical fitness, which included weight training, aerobics, and medical self-help. An- other group from which students had to select one activity was individual and dual sports. A few of the choices were tennis, track 8: field, and beginning swimming. Physical education stu- dents also had to choose one from team sports, which included basketball, soccer, and softball. The fourth choice could be chosen from any of the three categories, thus rounding out the physical fitness program for any student. The teaching staff of the Physical education department consisted of two full time women and five full time men. Among these teachers there was new comer Richard West. These teachers were also joined by Byron Brookhart and Pat Berk- heim who taught gym part time as well as their other teaching duties. The general concensus of why they taught was simply be- cause it was fun. Lil Durocher summed it up in her statement: I teach because of the challenge, everyday is different and be- cause the high school students are such tremendous people. Physical Education 103 tudents learn all about societies There were educational departments at Central that concen- trated on educating students only in certain areas. The social sciences department, however, covered all questions of when, where, why, and how. In the World and American History courses, students found out when people did things. A student could obtain information on how things were done in a World Cultures class. The psy- chology X Sociology courses taught why people did things. Geor- graphy, last but not least, covered the places where people did things. The teaching staff of the social studies department consisted of educators with a wide variety of backgrounds and prepara- tions for teaching. Marsha Eberly, an American History and Geography teacher felt that . . . they fthe teachersl compli- ment each others abilities. The teachers, the most important part of the department, were not pleased about some aspects of their area. There were, of course, the minor irritations any job was subject to. Ray Best felt that the department was too spread out, with classes held upstairs and downstairs in the cafeteria hall. Another more disturbing concern was that students didn't take advantage of the variety of classes offered. Despite the drawbacks, the social science instructors taught because they felt the courses played an important part in the well-rounded education of today's youth. lt's the one class that teaches the skills to live in society, to become good citizens, said Eberly. Junior Kay Staadt felt that the classes . . . make you become familiar with the world around you. These are different times for students growing up in society, we offer them the knowledge and skills to meet challenges, added Best. 104 Social Sciences Jerry Gussie, American History teacher, describes the differences between the U.S. government and the China governments, Larry Taylor, Social Studies teacher, informs his class of the current events if l ,il -pr, .. ,.

Yes, this was the description of a physical science class. Physical science classes were the classes in which students learned about the physical properties of many different substances. To help students attain the two science credits needed to gra- duate, there were a variety of courses to choose from. Included in these courses were: Chemistry, Physical Science, Energy Re- search Environment, Biology, Life Science, Computer Program- ming, Earth Science, and Physics. For each of these classes, there were two levels eachg for example, Chemistry I and II. The science department received several new teachers. These new teachers were: Bill Hume, Sam Hewson, and Bill Chambers. The co-heads of this department were: Bruce Durham and Keith Anderson. For freshmen, there were two main classes offered: they were Earth Science and Physical Science. The Physical Science class did many different labs, indlucing one called sludge The sludge'I as described by Mr. Aldrete was black, gooey, sticky, slurpy and terribly pungent. With the sludge , students had to separate different solid and liquid materials, and determine what they were. The different classes had levels of study designed both for college-bound and non-college-bound students. For example, there was General Chemistry, and Practical Chemistry. General Chem- istry was for those students wanting to go to collegeg it required more math skills, and included more theory. The Practical Chemis- try class, however, was for the students who were not necessarily college-bound, but still wanted some time in chemistry. For seniors, the class that was available, and offered a real challenge was Physics. This class dealt a lot with concept. It was a natural course to take, for those students who had taken General Chemistry the previous year. Students taking science classes their freshmen year were en- couraged to continue on and take three to four years of science classes. The usual choice of courses were: as freshmen, Physical Science: as sophomores, Biology: as juniors, Chemistryg and if chosen to, as seniors, Physics. For students who chose to continue in a science field, there were several career choices. Included in these were: engineering, medi- cine, petroleum, chemicals, and computers.

Sophomore Craig Cossey battles an opponent for the ball in the January 23 game against Cherry Creek. 110 Freshmen fSophomore Boys' Baske Back to basics!! fundamentals stressed, team excels Every journey begins with the first step. This phrase well known by many athletes who strove for success. Every high school athlete's dream was to make the varsity squad. But to achieve this goal he must first begin with the basics. This was where the freshmen and sophomore teams came ing probably the two most suc- cessful underclassmen teams were the freshmen and sophomore boys' basketball teams. After winning all of their games as freshmen, the sophomores, coached by Marc Small, continued their winning way by defeating Mullen in their home-opener. The sophomore team was preparing for the future. Practices were filled with em- phasis on shooting, passing, and dribbling skills. Although at times things got a little tedious, for the most part, practices were full of enthusiasm and good attitudes. The sophomores had a successful season with a record of 5-7. All I ask is that they do their best. I want them to be the best at everything they do, that includes basket- ball. I hope they win state before they graduate. said Small. Small's philosophy of, Hplay every second of the game, wore off on his players. This was evident when the team lost to Arapahoe by one point in overtime, 64-65. We're a very exciting team, we not only gave the spectator 30 minutes of regulation time, but we threw in an extra 3 minutes as well, said Small. They were indeed exciting. Another underclassmen team that em- phasized the basics was the freshmen bas- ketball team. Like the sophomores, the freshmen took many of their games down to the wire, but with different results. The freshmen lost their first five games by a margin of three points or less. But despite the O-5 starting record, the team was very competitive with attitudes remaining high. Sometimes some of the guys got down because crowds weren't that large, but we know we're a good team if we could just pull out some of the close ones, said freshman William Yancy. I tried hard, and sometimes we didn't always win, but I learned a lot of things I might not have learned if I hadn't joined the team, said Julian Wells. Basketball was a word synonymous with success at Central. With the varsity being consistent winners, people tended to forget that those players had to start at the bottom just like everyone else. With- out such successful organizations like the freshmen and sophomores basketball teams, there could not have been winners. 1 Gary Brewer dribbles down the court in a sophomore boys, basketball victory over Arapahoe.

As Cherry Creek be- in to throw the ball in bounds, the ,ojans went into their full court Tess. The Bruins successfully -oved the ball to the other end of e court, and with the final seconds :king off the clock, they took a rot. The ball bounced off the glass d then off the rim of the basket. ntral rebounded and with that the ys Varsity Basketball Team had aten the number four ranked Jam in the state. The Trojans' win Ier Cherry Creek gave them their cond victory over a state ranked lam, Bear Creek being their first. In order to make these victories ssible, the team practiced ap- oximately 15 hours a week. By l shing themselves in each and ev- y game, they earned a 13-9 re- ord. How did the team achieve ich a record? Teamwork! lf you ork as a team, you play better as pposed as to having one player do ll the work, said junior Marty low. This was never more obvious 'hen Dow, the teams starting cen- er, went down with a broken ankle I the first quarter of the Cherry Creek game. Instead of collapsing in the face of this major setback, the team joined together to pull out a last minute victory. Although team- work did play a major role in the success of the team, it was not with- out its leaders. Throughout the sea- son, a number of players led the team not only in numbers but in spir- it as well, Darryl Ricks, Mike Lewis, Jim Lynch, and Marty Dow kept at- titudes high even when everything was going wrong. Another boys basketball team that performed extremely well in the 84-85 season was the Junior Varsity. The J.V. opened the sea- son with a championship in the Cen- tennial League pre-season tourna- ment. This was another team that deeply believed in teamwork. J.V. exceeded all expectations by cruis- ing to a 13-5 record. It was an achievement shared by the whole team. J .V. also had its outstanding players the main one being Derrick Washington. The J.V. and Varsity Boys Bas- ketball teams, still trying to live up to standards placed upon them a few years earlier, did a good job in living up to peoples expectations by defeating some of the toughest teams in the state. It was an achieve- ment. Junior Marty Dows aims and takes shot over the head of defenders in a Centennial League game against Arapahoe. The Varsity Boys Basketball Team takes part in a tradiational pre-game activity by handing out High Fives, and by phyching each other up for the game.

The girls had to learn more fensive and defensive moves as ,ell as learning to function as an 'ganized team.

Chin also said, We're 'real strong team, no one player xrries us, it's a team effort all the lay. Out looks of the teams looked :ally good throughout the season. ccording to freshman coach Na- l for excellence dine I-leiss, the hard practices dur- ing Christmas break really paid off for the following games. These two teams not only had po- tential, but they also had spirit. They showed their spirit by Cheers every time there was a timeout, and every time a basket was made we congratulate the player, said soph- omore Michelle Manhart. Also the act of simply trying out for the team showed spirit for the school. This year's goals for the teams were, To teach a lot of fundamen- tal skills and to hope to win as many games as possible, said Heiss. All of these goals were fulfilled in one way or another. Players on both teams improved a great deal, and both teams experienced successful season. Freshman, Michelle Tucker and a Smoky Hill opponent scramble to get control of a loose ball.

Then it was practice that made them perfect. The girls practiced approxi- mately ten hours a week. During this time they did different drillsg they worked on their plays, defense, offense, and other conditioning drills along with shooting skills. That perfection really stood out when they gave it their all. It especially stood out in those games that were important. Ones such as Cherry Creekg which they won 71-40. And another outstanding game was the 68-36 victory against Ran- geview. To achieve that perfection, the team set goals.

Problems that might have come about were the teams having new coaches. Ju- nior Carolee Bottoms said, We had to learn how they like to coach and how they like us to respond to their coaching. Since they got new coaches they had to learn their new plays. But everything ran smoothly for the coaches and the teams according to Coach Larry Taylor. They're a group of young ladies, very hard workers, enthusiastic, and seem to want to learn as much as possible about basketball. But what kept these girls going was their incredible enthusiasm, and their sup- port, not only for any one individual but for the team as a whole. itting finish Varsity Girls Basketball: Front row: Delt Schlehuber, Monica Bebee, Gloria Ramsey, Karen Henry, Dawn Williams, Mike McGuinniss, Back row: Tom Rogers, Liane Gould, April Morgenstern, Gena Williams, Patty Garnhill, Diane Kost, Laura Riner, Jennifer Palmes. mari giilillr. rRUiANs.4.. .

The teams were under the direc- n of a new first year coach, James cobellis. Taking into account the experience of his boys, a main al of the coaches was to develop am character. Each wrestler had set personal as well as team als. Freshman Shawn Criossant lt he needed to, gain weight, I'd e to place well in the last two tour- ments. This was a hope shared all wrestlers. To achieve personal as well as am aspirations, the group had to ercome some difficulties.

The low- er weights, however, were set with such athelets as, Andy DeWitt, Mike Williams, and Tim Collums. The team sometimes had problems with tenacity. They would wrestle well in the first period and slack off in the second period. The teams practiced 20-24 hours a week, and with the new skills the boys learned, they would be pre- pared to advance into the higher ranked teams. They experienced the important, take-down moves. Coach Jacobellis felt, 'ithey should have better control. All new man- uvers helped them become better skilled wrestlers. These wrestlers shared the same opinion of why they wrestled, they all liked the sport. Freshman Crios- sant and Blanchared liked the, thrill and challenge of one on one competition.

It's just like a pnd family, said Dan Valdez, ju- lven though the junior varsity varsity teams were very unified, T2 were setbacks. Included in se problems were ineligibility, llack of experience, and having a ,of young kids on the team. The jest problem, however, was ill- Pg such as strep throat, staff, and nach flu. 'he team was not completely imped with problems. One of ir best points was their tremen- ls potential. We have great po- tial, and we're getting better ev- week, said West. He described ' team as hard-working, dedi- cated, young, and as having a bright future. According to West, the highlight match of the season was against Smoky Hill, on Thursday, January 10, at Central. This was because the team didn't give up. The freshmen were fearless, and helped the team come out with a victory. One wres- tler that did exceptionally well was Freshman, Chong Woo, in the 98 pound weight class. In the last ten seconds, Woo reversed his oppo- nent, Mike Skeleton of Smoky Hill, and put him on his back. This helped Central to take the lead. Woo com- mented, I was happy that l did good for the team. One of the hardest things about wrestling was the amount of condi- tioning and practicing required. Senior, Brad Jacobs said, It's hard working all week to make weight and practicing so hard, and then los- ing. For West, the hardest aspect of being a first year coach was being able to individualize his instruction, and figuring out the different psy- chological needs and the skill level of each individual member on his team. West tried to make his team realize that they would each be out on the mat alone. Even though each wrestler was on the mat alone, they , ...Q-,r,.+amf.:,.,r.s,,r.. . , 1 ,S ii, ,Y ..LEqiw,,.,,,,. , .... 5. had to wrestle as a team, not just individually,'l said Kim McEntire, sophomore. Each week, there were different captains to help lead the team. There were, however, three people that continued to be team leaders throughout the season. Doug Weller, junior, was a silent team leader. He always won, for this his teammates looked to him as an ex- ample, and also for encouragement. Because Junior, Dan Valdez cheered on his teammates, and yelled a lot, naturally he was the Uvocal team leader. Matt Steele, technical and vocal team leader, knew a lot of moves and really cheered his teammates on. As a re- sult of this, threre were about six or seven wrestlers that were contend- ers in the state tournament. Juniors, Matt Steele and Dan Valdez com- mented, The bigger the crowd watching us is, the better we do. Don't give up on the wrestling team. Watch for them next year, We will never give up, we're just getting started, you haven't heard the last of us yetf' said West.

New coach brings new motivation Have you ever tried swimming with sur- gical tubing tied around your legs? And, right as you neared the edge of the pool, you started moving backwards instead of forwards, defeating your original purpose, which was to reach the other end of the pool. This style of swimming is called tether swimming. This was one of the many new ideas introduced to the boys swimming program, by new coach, Sam Hewson. Also included in these new ideas were swimming without kicking, or with- out breathing, or wearing thick, weighted T-shirts, or even kicking in place with weights on. Even though these new ideas might seem strange, they were used to motivate the team. Coach does what's best for us, commented Casey Sondgeroth, ju- nior. Other ways that Hewson had of moti- vating his team were getting in the pool with them, and showing them the correct form to use. Hewson felt that one of the major prob- lems that the team had, was with ineligibil- ity. To try to keep this problem to a mini- mum, Hewson made a new policy: Any swimmer becoming ineligible over a two week period, will be kicked off of the team. Various swimmers felt that the new policy helped to reduce ineligibility. I think All teams should have it, it helps out the athletes in academics and in wor- kouts,', said Rod Veatch, senior. Even though there were problems with ineligibility, Hewson described the team as having a lot of potential, as being enthu- siastic, and as having the right attitude: positive. Hewson humorously said, They're all crazy! Different swimmers described Hewson, the new coach, as a good guy, and as caring. At the beginning of the season, Hewson had some unique goals for the team. They were to be known throughout the state as being improved, as being as example to other teams, and as doing the right thing. For Hewson, his most memorable meet of the season was against Gateway. This was because they lost when they shouldn't have, this loss was due in part to Hewson switching the swimmers around in events that were not they're usual events. Junior Casey Sondgeroth, however, felt that their best meet was the Red Wave Invita- tional, at Centennial High School, in Pueb- lo, Colorado, it was held on Saturday, Jan- uary 12. l-le felt this because the team stayed overnight in Pueblo the night be- fore, and then they each achieved their best lifetime scores, in their events. Many swimmers felt that the hardest aspect of being a swimmer was the amount of practice, time, and dedication required. Senior Rod Veatch said, It takes a lot of time and effort, and you don't see many rewards. For Hewson, as a first year coach, the hardest thing was setting his standards, self-discipline and setting his own rules. The team captains were Rod Veatch, senior, Casey Sondgeroth, junior, Jose Larrea, senior, and Greg Logsdon, senior diving captain. To help these captains, there were such mottos as: Pay now, play laterf' and Only the strong sur- Vive. A Trojan swimmer readies himself to dismount in a meet against Rangeview.

It's not the girls or just the boys' teams, or just the divers and the swimmers, but all of them combined that made us such a great teamln, said Hewson. To go along with the idea of the family, the swimmers came up with nicknames for each other. Snuffys are swim- mers who aren't real fast but they're not real slow either, said Himmel- bauer. Snuffies are located primar- ily in the B league. Once a girl gets fast enough to qualify for the A league and X or state meet, they automatically become a Stud, Although everyone was a cham- pion on the team, some stood out more than others. Probably no one was more in the limelight than diver Kelly Whelanf Ke1ly's one of those kind of people that all they have to do is pick a sport and they'll be good at it, said Hewson. Kelly qualified for State along with five other mem- bers of the team. Senior Melissa Ku- bin beat Maria Gomez of Boulder, a highly ranked swimmer in the state, while Misty Johnson, sophomore, turned in good performances at the Viking Invitational and Aurora City meets. The swimming program has been one of the most successful in the state in recent years.

Unlike most other sports, golf gave the competitors a true opportunity to get to know one another during the competition. However, despite this interesting facet, it was the individual trying to conquer the problems that nature had to offer which made this game intriguing. The obstacles that gave golfers head- aches included lakes, trees, rocks, rain and gusty winds. The Trojan swingers improved team scores an average of 25 strokes per match over last year. The team was led by letter- men Jim Mitchell, Barry Weiser, Troy Brooks, and Kevin Woodard. On the season, the team finished 11th in the league, beating the city rivals Hink- ley and Gateway.

The first touch- down pass of the season against Bouldern, thrown to Rob Lawrence, was the highlight of the sophomore season, said Quarterback James Schaeffer. Tough season The fans were there. Through the rain, snow and heat. They all turned out to watch the Central Trojans Football team play. lt was a tough, long season, but fans remained faithful. Despite a losing record, the Trojans were very competitive in most all their games, including the Homecoming loss to Gateway, 22-20. The Trojan's first loss, 28-7, came in their opening game against Boulder. Our major weakness is the in- experience of this team, said head coach, Pat Berkheim. The team was, in- deed, a very young team with only five of their 22 starters having played varsity football before. Even with the inexperience, the Tro- jans lost their following two games by a combined total of only nine points. One of those losses was an overtime game against Littleton. According to coaches Pat Berk- Undying support but dedicated fans heim, and Tony Davis, the Littleton game was the best overall. We played well both offensively and defensively. It was a close game but we couldn't pull it off, said Berkheim. We should've had a bet- ter record than we had. lt would've helped to win the close games. Coming off a season record of one and nine the year before, the coaches had set goals for themselves and their team. We wanted to be competitive, ready to play each game 100 percent and to develop a winning skill in our players. said assistant coach Davis. With senior Keith Nicholson as the teams' leading rusher, and Tom Lord, ju- nior, as their leading receiver, one was quick to realize the potential of the Trojan football team. Marion Dinwiddie quarter- backed consistently, while teammate Ger- ald Steen stopped many a running back in show school spirit his tracks as the teams leading tackler. We were a strong team in our skills posi- tions, and our defensive effort was great, said Davis. All we needed to do was to play every play instead of every other play, then we might have won some of those close ones. Senior Bill Reddick, of- fensive guard, summed up the situation best when he said, Yeah, losing is hard, but we've really kept a good attitude through it all. lt's a young team but we still have a lot of fun. There were 29 juniors and 14 seniors on the Trojans 1984-1985 Varsity football team. And with each game 29 juniors gained valuable experience for future ballgames and the seniors were allowed to experience the thrill of victory. And later, after all the chant's of Central had died and after the final buzzer had sounded, the fans could say they had been there. fitting finish,- J VARSITY FOOTBALL Varsity Football: Front Row: Kim Whittaker, Mark Nicholson, Tom Lord, Jeff White, Bill Ronish, Dave Turner, Pat Boggs, Jeff Crosswhite, Gavin McKenzie, Tim Martinez, Stefanie St. John.

Team has fun Excellent condition a must, stamina needed With terms like spike, dig, and rump, one might get the idea that yolleyball is not exactly a gentle sport. Players must be in excellent gondition and have an immense amount of stamina. Central's fresh- lnen and sophomore teams had jhese qualities. The freshmen's best game was hgainst Cherry Creek. With scores of 15-1 and 15-2, Shauna Shindler thought it was the highlight of the Season. Team captains, Siobhan i l l McCormick and Dixie Khadem- Ghaeni were considered to be just great. Sophomore players placed 4th in their tournament. Their best game according to Redonia Clark, was against Thorton. Clark said, We lost, but it was a good game any- way. When asked what keeps her going, through all the sweat and ag- ony, Clark replied, I do it for the team, without them, there's no mo- tive to go for it. The Freshmen and Sophomore Volleyball seasons were not the most successful, however the play- ers didn't consider it a setback. They had fun just being a team. Re- donia Clark commented, The best part of the season was all the team spirit shown. Players endured long hours of practice and conditioning to prepare them for a rigorous season. During this time, new friendships were made and old ones reinforced. i'The first game that we won, it proved that we could do it. We played well to- gether, and we had what it took to win, said Jen- ny Jacobs, about the most memo- rable game of the season. Freshmenf Sophomore Volleyball 133 fitting finish J.V.

I love the sport and I really want to go to college. I would like to play on a college team. But there's more in playing than hopes for Conley for college. Out on the court was a place to express herself. Every- body's an achiever and anybody can do anything. Volleyball is what I want to achieve in. Every member on the team had been an achiever and every one was dedicated to success. improves team Poised in readiness for the ball, being served by the opposiflon, sophomores Penny Untiedt, Gloria Ramsey, Christina Cook, and Kristin Yeager keep eyes trained on the serv- er.

Coach Ray McGuire expressed s displeasure with the sport's early art this year. Regular season latches started one week prior to le commencement of the school ear. This affected participation, an ltegral part of any activity, and ade it difficult to contact new, in- rested persons. l Although the season started rath- r early, McGuire's Trojans had an npressive year. The team won half B' matches, beating both Gateway d Hinkley, the team's two great- t rivals. McGuire felt if he had ist another week of preperation Ie team could have been more pro- ductive. Another concern of McGuire's was the league's recent rule change dealing with scrimmages. The rule states that teams cannot scrimmage one another after the season begins. This hurt the Trojans, and other league teams, because After the first two weeks of the season, the players need match experienceff McGuire said. The only way for a tennis player to gain such exper- ience was to go to a private club, in order to play in tournaments. This raised an interesting question: Are sports in the Centennial League dis- criminating against low income fam- ilies? Despite this seemingly destruc- tive setback, Aurora Central over- with setbacks came the hindrance. Senior Joel Dryden placed third in districts, and both Jason Mears, senior, and Jin Chon, junior earned fourth place finishes. Dryden achieved a person- al goal by splitting sets with the na- tion's 42 ranked high school singles player, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. Perhaps Dry- den himself summed up the season best by saying We really improved this year, as we have in my four years at Central. I am just sorry that I'll be gone before Central estab- lishes itself as a state championship contender. Jin Chon, junior, struggles to return the ball to an opponent in the district tournament played at Broomfield City Park.

Cross country team bonds together Determined faces, pounding hearts, and quickly moving legs were all trade- marks of this year's cross country teams. The teams had a lot in common with other fall sports, but there was also a lot which made this team special. Like all other sports, the team members were dedicated and hard working. In the early part of the season the team was averaging 40-45 miles a week on the seemingly unending Highline Canal. Even on rainy, cold days when other teams had moved indoors, the Trojan runners could be found on the road. Unlike any other teams at Central both the boys and girls cross country teams practiced together. This meant that they could help push each other, and that the coaches Mike Rogers and Glenn Freelove could each work with both the boys and girls teams. Senior Monica Beebe said, I think practicing together is great, it helps us stay together as a team and the guys really push the girls a lot. The team's many miles prove that it was one of the hardest working at the schoolg the team traveled as far away as Lookout Mountain to train. This dedica- tion seemed to rub off on the fans of cross country meets. Although they were less in numbers than for other sports, once a fan attended a meet, they became interested and came to many of the following meets. The team was led by seniors Victor Massey, Marcus Berry, Monica Beebe, and Amy Baker. These individuals led a strong contigent of younger runners to great success against other teams in the state. The Trojan boys placed as high as 14th out of over 30 teams, and took 3rd place in the All City meet. The girls, de- spite having only 5 runners, placed as high as 7th and captured 4th at the same All City meet. The best time for boys was set by Jim Tanner, a junior, at 16:27 for a 5k race. Terrie Grzybowski, junior, set the best time for the girls, at 19:21. Senior Amy Baker strides ahead of a Smoky Hill opponent toward the finish line at an invitational meet.

Kicks to distinction The main thing this year's men,s varsity soccer team had going for them was DE- SIRE. lt was desire which made the team practice at 6:00 a.m. on certain Satur- days. It was desire which made the team practice for nearly three hours every day after school, and it was desire which helped the Trojans defeat every other school in Aurora, including Overland. An example of this desire was seen in the mid-season game against Arapahoe, last year's state champions. The Trojans scored first, and seemed to have locked up a win until Arapahoe scored late in the game. The game ended in a tie, yet Cen- tral proved that they were one of the league's top teams and could no longer be taken lightly by other teams. The team won most games and most of those they didn't win were heartbreakers. Central's first loss was a 2-1 defeat hand- ed down by Regis. A near perfect game by Central marred by one lapse in team con- centration when an unmarked Regis Raid- er broke open for a score. Central also lost close games to Heritage, Fairview and Mullen. Although the team's main goal was to win games, most players agree that the season was above everything else, fun. Senior Russ Foster said, We work very hard, but everything we do is based on playing, and playing means having fun.

Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-four! It was a year of great opposition as many hopeful candidates travelled all over the United States hoping to shake more hands and get more voting promises than their rivals. lt was also a year of many, many speeches, political conventions and door to door campaigning. The main political event was between Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale as they competed for the position of President of the United States. For the first time in American History, a woman was chosen as a vice president nominee. Mondale chose Geraldine Fer- raro as his running mate. Before she was chosen as a nominee she represented New York in the senate. This was a special year for a part of the graduating Class of 1985 as some of them were able to vote W I' for first time Troy Brooks, senior, commented that being able to vote for the first time makes you feel important. Republican John Singer, from Aurora who was running for the office of legislator in House District 36, felt that young people should get more involved in politics. Many have Hconcerns about their community as the adults do, so they should have a voice in politics. One of the reasons John Singer ran for legisla- tor was he would Hlike to see Aurora have a voice in state government. Young peo- ple can also be a part of this. Signs such as this one cluttered many yards dur- ing the 1984 elections from mid September to early November.

No, remarked Keith Nelson, senior, Because the actual facts of the devastat- ing effect of such a war is beginning to open the eyes of many people. The real- ization of it all is frightening them. Do you think it is possible to avoid a nuclear war? Yes, remarked Sue Morales, a Special Education teacher. Get into a spaceship and head for outer space-hopefully the radiation won't reach you. No, said junior Richard Sutton, as long as we have nuclear weapons, we still will not be able to control a war.

Two little love birds sitting in a tree . . . K-I-S-S-l-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage . . . ? If you had dated, the thought of some day finding that perfect mate had crossed your mind, but did high school romances lead to marriage? In all cases not, but there were exceptions. Such as Jody Mi- cheals, junior, who had been dating Bill Totten, senior, for three months and one week. Theirs was a classic caseg they met in a biology class boy meets girl boy calls girl, and boy and girl go out. There was not a day when one didnit see them walking hand in hand. Their most memorable moment according to Mi- cheals, was the first kiss. Memorable mo- ments were different for everybody. When l shaved my boyfriend's hair into a mohawk was one of my most memo- rable moments with him, said Michelle VanDyke, junior, who was going out with 148 Seniors I we qfffd' Z. a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School. They had been seeing each other for two years and were promised to be married. VanDyke did not regret being tied down so early in life. The thought of marriage was not only in the minds of dating couples, but single students as well. Angela Ward, senior, liked being single because she could have the best of both worlds - companions without committment. Sometimes it gets lonely though , said Ward. There's not one person to be close to or to share with. But the advantages of being single outweigh the disadvantages. Bonnie Nieddu, junior, said, You can flirt, and go out with different people so you can be sure when you find Mr. Right. Whether one was a member of the sin- gle club or dating one person, dances, din- ner, movies, late night television, and the soda shop, were all part of the dating game played by both couples and singles alike. No kissing allowed! Students try showing their affection in the least conspicuous ways to keep in compliance with school policy. k 'I in Nw: Y 4'- iii 'IZ'-U' ,f fi David Fletcher - Band 9,10,11,12g Band Club 9,10,11,12.

Michelle Kamerzell Y T g Q Y ow that the Supreme Court is trying to get a bill assed to raise the drinking age to 21, this may not be so xsy for teens to obtain. Q if qw? 1 With a blinding flash of light, and the scream of grinding metal, a young life is taken. This scene is repeated more than 25,000 times anually. More than half of those involved are caused by persons un- der the age of twenty one. But in the fall of 1984 a bill awaiting senate approval, would have given more than 40 million incentive pay to states that establish a minimum drink- ing age of 21. This bill would have a major effect on everyone between the ages of 1 7 and 20. And how did teachers, administrators, and, most importantly, the students feel about this proposal? The feeling of most students was that of rejection. Especially among those about to turn 18. It's going to make a lot of people angry, said sen- ior, Matt Strickland. Even if this bill is passed, teenagers will still find a way to get liquor. They always do. As one senior 3 1 --1 f I Kristi Kasprzak - Cheerleading 10,11.

Some administrators opposed the bill, too. Rick Bettger said that, 'Klf an 18 year old can vote, be drafted, and die for their country, then they should at least be able to drink 3-2 beer. As for the teachers, those interviewed felt very strongly in fa- vor of the bill. Mrs. Gerard and Mr. Moos- mann felt that the drinking age was, too young! I think that this bill is aimed mainly at the drunk driver, and to de- crease the number of alcohol related acci- dents. said Mrs. Gerard. Mr. Johnson said, Statistics show that kids get drunk, can't handle it, and wreck. And too often, take someone with them. ln the fall of 1984 22 states had passed legislation to raise the legal drinking age to 21. Because this is almost half of the states it appeared that others would inevitably follow.

For many sen- iors, graduation marked the end of long hours of homework, studying, and, yuck, tests! It also marked the beginning of their independence, but with this new found in- dependence also came the burden of responsibility Seniors were faced with many ques- tions and decisions that needed to be made if they were to succeed after high school. Probably the biggest question asked was, What am I going to do once l graduate? . There were many opportuni- ties open to the class of 'i85'. As of Octo- ber, 1984, there were more than 3,400 two, and four year colleges open in the U.S. Four hundred forty of them offered majors. This did not include the business, 'Sai S if 'Tvs technical, and vocational schools in the country. Unfortunately, though, only an estimat- ed 40 percent of the approximately 422 1984 graduates actually went on to col- lege. For those who did go to college, they had to finish in the upper half of their class, flow B averagel and score a com- posite of at least 23 on their A.C.T. scores. But there were exceptions. For those that chose to go into engineering, computer science, or business, the re- quirements were harder to meet. They had to finish in the upper quarter of their class, and score at least a 25 on their A.C.T. Why? Fields such as computer science, and engineering are very lucra- tive fields. Colleges pick only the cream of the crop, said Mrs. Hamilton, counselor. One of the many options one has after high school is possibly signing up for the Navy.

Nelson replied to a dieting ad once, she sent 25 cents to get information to lose weight. In return, she received a piece of paper that read, Don't swallow.

So for many seniors go- ing to the mailbox was not always a treat. Many senior's mailboxes overflowed with junk mail such as packets from colleges and Army recruitment materials. 49- f 'T ix he TT Amy Morton - Softball 9,105 Boy's Basketball Mgr. 95 Student Gov. 9,1O,125 Student Congress 95 French Club 11,12 lSocial Chairmanlg NHS 115 Quill and Scroll 115 Yearbook 115 Yearbook Editor-in-Chief 12.

I only have two truancies left. I won't ditch any more. Johnny promises himself as he gulps down the last swallow of chocolate milk. Two more truancies and Johnny will receive a failing grade for his first hour class. lf it is a semester class, he would only have five truancies left. These were the new atten- dance policy changes that went into affect during September of the 1984-1985 school year. Joanna Hudson, Assistant Principal in charge of student services, said The attendance policy was changed because the student's had too many truancies. We have still given students 3 days a quarter and 6 days in a semester to do noghingf' If Johnny had been truant two more times in his first hour, he would have received a failure notice. He also wouldn't be eligible for credit in that class. lt would have been in Johnnyls best interest 156 Seniors ish to attend Another problem that afflicted the stu- dents was the mass ticketing which oc- cured during lunch hour on September 11th. People living on Paris Street and in the immediate area had been complaining to the school officials that the students were littering and causing traffic prob- lems. These students were ticketed for jay walking and proceeded to compalin about not being pre-warned. Some students felt that they should have respected the people rights who live on Paris Street and their houses. Some just did not care and continued to jay- walkg despite the September 11th inci- dent. Ms. Hudson said, lf students obey these and other rules and show responsi- bility towards Central, it would make the operation of Central easier. Many residents living close to Central com- plained about students loitering near their homes. ..,q Patrick Ritchie Tammy Robards Maura Roberts Heidi Rupple Stefanie Saint John - Wrestling Mgr, 1O,11,12g Football Mgr. 11,12 Baseball Mgr. 11,12g Student Gov. 1O,11,12g Ceramics Club Treas. 11,12.

'Z' VNC ' ' I representative from Dana College in Creed, Ne- iska talks to Will Housley about college entrance re- lrements. Xiu Six thousand, eight hundred dollars sounds like a lot of money. Most seniors did not have that much money in their savings account so the time had come for them to think about scholarships, loans, test scores and high school credits. The time had come to think about college en- trance requirements. Before a senior would even be consid- ered for acceptance to certain colleges, he had to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test KSATJ or American College Testing lACTl or both. The socres from these tests were used to determine whether or not one pos- sessed the common knowledge that would be a foundation for learning The most important requirement, how- ever, was not the test scores but the accu- David Turner - Football 9,10,11,125 Baseball 9,10,11,12.

Most col- leges, in state and out, required a certain amount of credit in each course area. The average amount in each area, complied from University of Colorado, Princeton, and University of Northern Colorado fol- lows: four English credits, three Math, and two each in Foreign Language, Science, and Social Studies. Some counselors felt , that a student that had college in his long range plans had no difficulty acquiring these credits. It's the ones who are in 10th or 11th grade and lacking in some credits, and suddenly decide upon college, that exper- ience difficultiesf' Counselor Carol Jones said. Senior Will Housley added, Too many people are scared that they will not get the required credits, so they give up. Once these requirements were ob- tained, seniors sat back and thought about what college life would be like. What so- rority or fraternity, what dormitory, and what classes they wanted to take. Seniors 159 Here today gone tomorrow. This was a comment made quite often by seniors. What perhaps could this have been? Nothing else but money. Money was im- portant to everyone but in different ways. Where did one get this money for con- certs, clothes, cars, possible bills or maybe just the urge to buy something? Often this money came from friends or parents but most came from jobs l-low important was a job to seniors in today's society? According to Senior Mi' chele Stanley a job was very important to obtain money for personal purchases and entertainment. Angela Gisi, senior liked to have if for her personal necessities. She bought all of her own clothing and paid for her leisure activities as well. This proved that supporting one's lifestyle can be Robert Wesner Roger Whitmore - Soccer 9,10,12g Basketball 9,1O,11,12.

Back then the dollar was perhaps stronger and had more buying power compared to to- day. The reason being, jobs were easier to find. Three reasons why jobs were harder to find for school students were because the majority of students were not properly qualified, they had trouble meeting the age requirement or the hours weren't in compliance with the student's schedule or the employer's needs. Therefore many students gave up after a couple of tries. Money didn't have the same value and wasn't as easy to come by for a senior in '64 or '74. Stanley's statement Inflation is breaking us all,'l summed up the entire situation of the economic standings of to- day. There was no shortage of things to spend one's money on, and that's why often students found themselves short of funds. 032. iss Ms. Borealis, 1985 - Amy Baker Mr. Borealis, 1985 - David Toliver Tradition changes for the best Every year, yearbooks have honored some of Aurora's most outstanding young citizens. This was all a part of the tradition- al Borealis contest. Every year, one boy and one girl were selected as winners of the Mr. fMs. Borealis competition. The contestants were nominated by their teachers based upon academic achieve- ment, schoolfcommunity involvement, extra-curricular activities and exceptional personality traits. Although the competi- tion has been a tradition since the 5O's, this year tradition was changed. lt was definitely a change for the better. ln the past years, the contestants went through a preliminary interview, then their pictures were sent to a celebrity for the final selec- tion of Mr.fMs. Borealis. lt was decided that each contestant had more to offer than how photogenic he X she wasg so, this year the final selection was based on the interview alone. On January 31, 1985, six administra- tors came to room 12 to make the final selection. The nominees were April Mor- genstern, Amy Baker, Missy Watts, Jan Gilpin, Monica Beebe, Jim Mitchell, Derek Larsen, David Toliver, Jim Ford and Mark Basham. Each contestant was interviewed for approximately 10 minutes. They were asked personal questions, philosophical questions, and also their future aspira- tions. Based on their responses, the final selection was made. The winners were: Mr. Borealis-David Toliver and Ms. Borealis-Amy Baker. The first runners-up were: James Ford and Monica Beebe. Toliver was an ultra-in- volved student. He was NHS tutor, active in Student Government, a member of Math Club, a Stage Band member and he was also on the varsity basketball and track teams. Toliver was undecided whether to pursue his college education at Annapolis, Maryland or at the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs. Like Toliver, Amy Baker was also an outstanding student. Baker ran cross- country for 3 years, she was secretary of the German Club, NHS member, a church youth group member as well as holding a part time job. Baker planned to attend Doane College in Nebraska where she in- tends to major in biology. lt didn't matter this year that tradition was changed in such a classic and presti- gious award. After all, what was technical- ity when the final outcome was still the best. K i is .1 as NY-Ez. r r: . JH. J . 5 A . -. my x H f V ii '. A - 3, - 1 -.-- ,rf fiirg.. - ..,.

President Tom Lord, Vice Presi- dent Kevin Motto and Secretary f Treasur- er Bevin Barbo discussed their budget in preparing the sensational winning float and the unforgettable Homecoming Dance. The income from the dance was SS116921. When all expenses were paid, they had made a profit of S731.67. Later in the fall, plans were made for the other two events put on by the junior class: the Green and White Show and the Junior-Senior Prom. They were striving to host the most memorable prom ever. Their unique idea of holding the prom in an aircraft hangar fowned by a neighbor of Barbo'sl was inoperable because of the inconvenience it caused the people rent- Chuck Acker Travis Aker Helen Alfredson Dennis Allen Jose Amador Charles Angevine Mia Appluewhite Marguerite Armstrong Rich Artese Raymond Aull David Balfanz Bevin Barbo Kristi Bartels John Barth Sean Beck Matt Bell Kristine Benoit Preston Bertsch Joe Bielodeau Michael Birkmeyer Natalie Blake Lynn Bock Gail Bodie Glen Bodie 164 Juniors ing the space. Considerations were then turned to oth- er places, namely several area mansions. Only as a last resort did they want to hold it in a hotel We want it to be more original than previous years, Motto said. Barbo said, We would like to make up for last yearfs Junior class putting us in debt and at the same time, make a profit for next year. Motto added, We would like to build traditions for future classes. They planned to raise the money for the 1985 Prom through various fund raising events, a major one was the Green and White Show. Their big dreams put together with their dedication and hard work, the junior class officers, with full class participation, would be remembered for quite a long time.

Most of those changes dealt with growing up. As one grew older, he took on more responsibility. For some it was the commit- ment of becoming a teen mother or father. Considering all the people and the strong feelings involved in an uplanned teen pregnancy, the entire issue became tangled and complex. What if there were disagreements on marriage, abortion, or raising the child as a single parent? Who should have made those decisions? In most cases the choices were decided upon by the teen girl. Abortion crossed my mind many times, l didn't know what to do or where to turn. I needed someone to tell me how to deal with the situation, said an anonymous teen mother. One organization that tried to help teen mothers and fathers was Teen Mother. This organization, located at the First 166 Juniors Presbyterian Church, had a maximum ca- pacity of 25 girls. Girls tried to enter the program from all over the metro areag some even came from out of state. The Teen Mother Program enabled many girls to deal with their situation and yet gra- duate with their high school class, said Mr. Roger Noell, counselor. Doctors, nurses, and attornies informed the girls of their rights on such specifics as welfare, child support and in some rare cases, adoption proceedings. They emphasize the health and well being of the mother and child said Mrs. Jane Renkel, counsel- or. Counseling was offered to explain the pros and cons of keeping the child, and abortion. The center served as one of the most successful programs available tc teen mothers. 's Kids!

From Walking down the halls one could hear such phrases as Little happy there? . . . get a job! . . . Get off! . . . and 'KAny chance? . . . These were just a few of the hundreds of slang sayings said daily by the students. Slang has been around for generations. Your parents used it and your parents' parents used it. In the 1960's it was the togetherness era. It was the hippy days, love and peace. Then were the 197O's, the hip days. You didn't want to be too hip or not hip enough. And then were the 80's the days of the valley girl and the surf dudes. As fast as these slang expressions came in, they left. Now in 1984, one of the more popular sayings was It's casual, from the movie Wild Life. Another fa- vorite slang saying was you lie like a dead fly. Slang expressions changed and spread so quickly that many people had difficulty Kevin Motto Paula Muckey William Murphy Paul Nadolny Nathaniel Narcomey Kevin Nelson Dee Nguyen Danh Nguyen Thong Nguyen Mark Nicholson Bonnie Nieddu Tami Nielson Jeff Noakes Helen Nunnelly Karrie Odegard Rose Oldham Joseph Oliver Gwen Orrok Sherrie Ortega Moira O'Toole Jennifer Palmes Cathy Pearson Michael Peden 1 Jennifer Peterson 2 M i cool to, it's casual determining what was slang and what was not. World Book Encyclopedia defined slang as an informal kind of language in which words and phrases are used in new and unusual ways. But according to Da- vid Beasley, senior, slang is a way to get out my frustrations, it's a relief. Why do people use slang? There is not one definate reason. Junior Roche Santos said he used it because 'lformal talking sounds corny! And Danny Valadez, ju- nior, said it's just part of my personal- ityf' Teachers have their opinion of slang too. According to Chemistry teacher, Mr. Larry Stebbins, when he thought about students using slang he said, It just gags me with a spoon! Slang changed as time went on. So ten years from now when you hear the phrase Chill out , you can bet it won't mean the same as it did in 1984.

To be a mythical state Unless one's future endeavor was to go into politics, spending one week learning about the two party system could have been unpleasant. Every year, Girl'sfBoyls State allowed a group of selected students to spend a week at a college campus to get a broader knowledge of the two party sys- tem. To be selected as a delegate of GirllsfBoy's State one must have been at the top of the class, possessed leadership qualities, been involved in school activi- ties, and planned to further their educa- tion after high school. Girl'sfBoy's State was a mythical state based under the procedures of Colorado State government. For a week the partici- pants lived under the rules and regula- tions of their state and actually ran for county, city, and state offices. At the end of the week, there was an inaguration ceremony for the elected officials. The main purpose of Girl'sfBoy's State was to give the delegates a better knowl- edge of the government and to create a better love and responsibility for America, Boy's State was sponsored by the Ameri- can Legion and Girl's State was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. These men and women volunteered their time to personally select each delegate. The sponsors felt that each delegate needed one year of U.S. history background. Therefore, this opportunity is only offered to juniors. Technically, every junior should have an U.S. history credit his ju- nior year. This once in a lifetime opportunity was not only good for the knowledge of the country, but a week spent familiarizing one's self with the two party system, left one with a great sense of patriotism.

But what happened when those humil- iated freshmen grew older? They became upper classmen, and their feelings had changed. New feelings had overcome those of embarrassment and humiliation, such as freedom, maturity, and intelli- gence. One of the many feelings that upper- classmen experienced, was that of free- dom. Freedom was a privilege that includ- ed being able to drive to and from school, and out to lunch. Maturity followed freedom. Part of this maturity was not being intimidated by older people, said Junior Kathy Burns. A big change that came with this maturity was more respect from most of the teach- ers and administrators. They are not as apt to question you, commented Edie Washko, junior.

This intelligence is not merely in the aca- demic sense of the word, but rather refer- ring to common knowledge. Included in this knowledge was knowing one's way around the school. Another part of this knowledge was knowing that no longer would one have to constantly watch over their shoulder for an upperclassman on the prowl. Upperclassmen were known to give swirlies or to put one on top of the lockers and make one sing I Am Wom- an. When one became an upperclass- man, one also did not have to worry about being tied upside down to a telephone pole with duck tape, with an '85 flag stuck between your legs, when this prank was pulled on sophomore Cliff Rector, he said, it was very embarrassing, and now I am always watching over my shoulder for someone trying to get me again! Year after year classes graduated. The never-ending cycle of sophomores becom- ing upperclassmen, and assuming the same feelings that many juniors of the past had felt at one time, continued.

Yelling, seeking spirit Sophomores speak up! We, all four classes, need to work together on our spirit. For some reason, enthusiasm is being lost, and spirit is going down, said Mr. Small, Sophomore Class spon- sor. One of the goals of the sopho- more class was to recapture some of the lost enthusiasm and redirect it in the right places. It was evident that the sopho- more class was spirited. At every pep assembly they challenged the senior class in yelling competitions and won most every time. The de- cline in spirit could have begun with these competitions. It's great the way certain classes stand up and yell for their grades, but we need to yell for everyone, as the Central Student Body, said Small. Classes split up, yelling for their grade, which proved some more sparked than others. Gary Brewer, Ken Halton, and 174 Sophomores Debbie Tawzer led the class as President, Vice President, and Sec- retaryfTreasurer, respectively. Selling nachos and other fundraisers contributed to the cash flow avail- able to the 4-95 member class. They tried to accumulate money to spon- sor a dance, tentatively scheduled for February. One of my big goals is to sponsor a dance, said Brewer, a dance for everyone. Yes, we would like to sponsor a dance, but the gymnasium is the wrong place. A dance loses its spark when kids must take off their shoes, said Small. The kids need to rally with the administration for a dance in the cafeteria, just a dance . Promoting spirit, raising money and vying for a dance kept the young class busy. Wether or not all of their goals were reached, they had fun trying. We are off to a good start! Brewer said.

These were just a few of the many things that a stu- dent might have paid for during his high school years. Although most of those expenses were not required, one thing that most students did pay for, was a hall lock. The lock and p.e. locks were purchased for 34.00 each, but the money was refunded at the end of the year, when either lock was re- turned. Another popular item was the activity card. Purchased for 51000, it allowed a student to get into all home sporting events free, while away games and drama pro- ductions were at a discount price. I got one so that I wouIdn't have to pay every time I go to a game,'I said Junior Casey Sondegroth, referring to his activity card. But before a student could get in to a sporting event, there had to be athletes. These athletes had to pay a 515.00 participation fee for each sport. A student also had to pay for the supplies in any art or woodwork- ing class that he took. Whatever you make, you get to keep, said Sophomore Kristi Kost. Musical en- thusiasts paid S1500 to rent an in- strument for band or orchestra. A student could not even be a member of a club without paying fees. Besides paying to be involved, ex- tras enabled students to better re- member the year. Extras included yearbooks, class rings, pictures, and fundraising items, which were all op- tional. I got a school ring because I wanted some memories from my high school years, said junior Ka- ren Seling. As if that in itself were not enough, the students had to eat. If a student did not have a car, they could buy ten lunch tickets for 39.50, or get other various snacks that were sold at lunchtime. With the many expenses that a student paid, it's no wonder that the question most often heard around the campus was, Do you have any money I can borrow? I'm broke! Sophomores 177 Though they often lead separate lives, twins sometimes participated in activities together. Jennifer and Patricia Blake act in Annie as orphans. A And their eyes met, Alike, yet so different. Their eyes met and two bubbly laughs were heard simultaniously. There was no need for words be- tween this pair of siblings, they were twins. This silent communication, though not limited to twins, signified a special bond between the two. Not all moments shared by twins, though, were ones of goodwill. There were the conflicts that all sib- lings had, one spent too much time in the bathroom, or one was pre- ferred by parents. Problems arose having someone so like one's self yet so different. Junior, Marion Dinwid- die felt this was his problem with his twin sister Marva. We argue all the time about everyday, trivial things, he said. There was competition be- tween sets of twins also. Dinwiddie described a situation in which he and Marva each had a basketball game the same day. Both played hard, both scored well, Marion with 26 points. She scored 29, said Dinwiddie. 178 Sophomores When parents had a set of twins, there was an--impulse to give them similar names. Tonya and Sonya Monique Sconiers were given names alike excluding first letters. This was where the similarity end- ed, each girl had developed her own personality and was rarely confused for the other. In the case of Jennifer and Patri- cia Blake, freshmen identical twins, there was confusion from their teachers. Ms. Heiss, their English teacher, once marked Jennifer ab- sent in place of Patricia.

Restricted time unknown Curfew catches students It was 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oc- tober 7th. Bob and his friends were out cruising and decided to have a little fun. They went T-P-ing and of course a harmless little fun lead to a lot. Eventually the police were called and the boys were issued a summons. What for one might ask? These kids were breaking curfew. I-low many of us were aware that there was a curfew law? Most likely a lot of students knew but didn't know what time it went into affect or the punishment for being arrested. The curfew, which was 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 12:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday, was set to keep kids off the streets. It also let parents know there was an established time at which their chil- dren needed to be home. Was a curfew actually necessary? Were there any alternatives? Junior Natalie Blake and Freshman Steph- anie Jarman had different opinions. Blake said, A curfew isn't neces- sary because people don't obey it anyway. On the other hand, Jar- man said, Yes it is good because it keeps people off the streets after a certain time. The curfew had enjoyed success since its establishment in 1963. The penalty for breaking curfew was the issuance of a summons to appear in court, also an escort home was pro- vided. Most of the problems occur before curfewf' said Officer Frank- lin Michelson of the Aurora Police Department. Perhaps the curfew was necessary to keep problems from occuringg because it was estab- lished in 1963 implies that there were severe enough problems to constitute an enactment of a cur- few. It's success has enabled it to continue operating in 1984. Maybe the curfew was vital in helping the problems in 1963. This however didn't imply that everyone obeyed it, but perhaps just knowing of its presence, was enough. Sophomores 181 As Rangeview students leave at the end of their school day, Gateway students arrive for the start of their school day. Rangeuiew survives despite alien invasion of Olympians Gateway High School closes down for the remainder of the school season. Students are scheduled to attend Rangview High School. That was how the headline of the April 27, 1984 edition of the Aurora Sentinel read. Why had Gateway closed down? Could the problem have been avoided? These were just some of the questions being asked after two feet of snow accumulated on Gateway's roof causing it to collapse and revealing as- bestos. After seeing the asbestos, parents fearing for their childrens health, had the school closed down until the asbestos had been cleared away. Although the decision was the right one, some people were still upset about having to leave their school. The general feel- ing of students in both schools was that of disappointment and frustration. I don't thinkthat anyone at either school is to thrilled about having us go to Rangviewf' said Bart Cummings, a junior at Gateway. Once all the students had been notified of the change, another problem arose. A sched- ule had to be made so that the two schools wouldn't interfere with each others' educa- tion. This meant that the two schools had to attend Rangeview at different times. Stu- dents originally enrolled at Rangeview at- 182 Sophomores tended school from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. then the students from Gateway attended from 12:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. Some felt that this new schedule hindered the students' pro- gress in school. I don't think that the quality of the education we're getting here is the same as we were getting at the other build- ing, said Cummings. One might ask how this change affected Central. Although most students from Gate- way did go to Rangeview, some did switch to Central to finish off their high school career. Also, Central was scheduled for additions during the summer of 1984. But funds for that program were quickly channeled to help Gateway rebuild its roof. Luckily, a bond is- sue proposed during the 1985 school year would allow Central to continue to add on if passed. Gateway and Rangeview were both rela- tively new schools, both of them being built in the past ten years. Central had been standing for 30 years, and has very few problems with the building. Over the years Central's build- ing has developed character. A character that eventually rubbed off on the students that attended it, proving once more that new doesn't always mean better.

Freshmen off to good start Fundraisers, meetings to attend, and the responsibility of making decisions were all a part of being a class officer. Freshmen class officers Tammy Dallas, President, Toby Dun- lap, Vice-President, and Secretary Linda Young worked together with their sponsor Barbara Winkle to produce sufficient funds for the newest and youngest additions of school. The class sold banners and worked the concession stand at basketball games to start of this fund. Financially, the class was off to a good start but the matter of spirit was another matter. Dallas commented, Our main goal is to raise enough money for prom and to just have fun! This was easier said then done. One would look towards the fresh- men section of a pep assembly to find a very pacify group. During class competitions, only a small group of freshmen stood up to cheer for their own while the remainder seemed hesitant. What was the problem? Was it lead- ership? The most likely answer was simple. They were freshmen. Like every new fresh- men class, there was the stuggle of being accepted. They were the youngest and the easiest to intimidate. Like all other freshmen classes that preceded them, they faced the exact same hassels and insecurities that made their spirit rather low. The class was ready and willing to workg but as long as there were upperclassmen, there would always be a struggle for equality.

Age difference has problems Those darn teens, they're all alike, said an old man picking trash out of his flower garden. How many times has this been said about teens? Get out of the way you old lady, yelled Jimmy as he honked his horn. g'Old people are all so slow, they have no business on the streets. How many times has this been said about the elderly? lt was a fact that there was a generation gap. There was no doubt about it. Every- where, people from different generations categorized or stereotyped each other. Today the generation gap affects every- one in different ways. Since I'm still a teen, people look down on me because they think that if one teen is bad, all of them are, said Tina Simhieser, junior. Some people are just so close minded they think that everyone is the same. Of course, nobody was the same and that was why different generations had different ways of living. g'Each genera- tion has its own characteristics, said Mr. Ray Best, social studies teacher. I think each generation should be more understanding of other generationsfl Many were trying to find a way to close the gapg will they ever succeed? lt's doubtful be- cause a great deal must change.

Study books, Or out to eat It was 12:20 p.m., students had 40 min- utes to eat lunch, but the big decision was what to do? If one had a car or a friend who did, choices were among many fast food restaurants: Taco Bell, McDonalds, Arby's, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, or Jack-n-the-Box. But there were some students whose choices were limited. Many stayed at school and ate in the cafeteria, or they walked to King Soopers, Daniels, or Baskin Robbins. Junior Marisa Williams said, l've eaten at Taco Bell every day for six weeks, and I'm not even sick of it yet! Among the many items one could choose from the menu of the fast food restaurants, students usually had a favorite item. Junior Edie Washko, with her one scoop of bur- gandy cherry jubilee on a sugar cone, was prepared to pay the 69C cost each day she went to Baskin Robbins. Going out to lunch wasn't on the agenda for all students. Many used the lunch period as a studying hour in the library, to catch up on homework. Also, most clubs met during the lunch hour to discuss upcoming events. Whatever occupied the lunch hour, one could never say there was nothing to do. 'td' -2.

Encountering a macrocosm A twelve hour flight was only the begin- ning. Disembarking the plane at Stapleton International Airport and going to a strange house in an unfamiliar country followed. Sen- ior foreign exchange students, Einar Saltnes and Bengt Andersson encountered a new world as they arrived in America. Saltnes came from Norway and Andersson flew from Sweden. Both students adapted well to the society. Saltnes got involved quickly at school by joining the boys' soccer team and Andersson fit right in the band as he played the clarinet exceptionally well. Why did these two students choose the United States over any other country? An' dersson said, I didnlt even think of any other country. Possibly he had it set in his mind where he wanted to travel and study. An- dersson came to the United States for the more relaxed life style and because it was so big. I wanted a break from Swedish schools, Andersson said. Saltnes arrived for the experience of a new lifestyle and differ- ent culturesg he also wanted to learn to speak the English language. Not only did their trip to the United States enhance their own lives, but their presence at Central was widely accepted and an interest- ing addition to the many different people. was ,, is 5 A s 94 6, K l f.

One of the largest and most popular arcades, Le Mans, is frequented by many students. Picture this: just hang out Picture this: pushing your way through the crowd, bumping into all sorts of unusual peo- ple, hoping to see someone you know. When you finally reached your destination, the dance floor, you began to unwind, hearing your favorite song broadcasting through swirving bodies. The buzzing sound of laugh- ing voices and socializing people was the typi- cal atmosphere at Norman's. To junior Mike Sawka, Norman's was a frequent hangout. Normans is a great place to meet people, especially girls, said Sawka. The atmosphere at Studio 7 was similiar to that of Norman's. Students often went there to dance and have fun. In fact, Studio 7 had a contest to see which school brought in the most customers. Central led this contest throughout most of the summer. Another hangout for teens was Tuesday night at Aurora Plaza Six Dollar Night, it was adjacent to Le Mans, an overpopulated game room. After seeing a movie teens often went to Le Mans to play games, while they decided on where to go next. As long as there were teens not cramming for a test or not working, there would always be a place for friends, or to get away from their families and just hang out. 'ii' r w A 1.4: ma ,., 4 ll a .r .

The feeling was generally the same from all of the administrators, and was well said by Mr. Beebe, principal, I smile when anything is done to enhance the image of the student body, the staff, and the school. The administrative staff consisted of Harold Beebe, Rick Bettger, Joanna Hud- son, Fred Collins, and Dr. Jim Reitz. Some of the characteristics of this school that gave it a certain appeal in the eyes of the administrators, were the involvement of the students. They also liked to see the interaction between the students and the staff, on a day to day basis. Dr. Reitz felt that his favorite part of being an adminis- trator was helping to solve problems be- tween teachers, students, and parents. Seeing the people smile made the admin- istrators smile. Administrators, however, were not al- ways smiling. On any given day, they had to do things that did not always agree with the students and the staff. Occasionally, an administrator had to reprimand a teacher or other staff member. They also had to suspend students for various disci- plinary reasons, while suspending a stu- Harold Beebe, Principal Rick Bettger, Assistant Principal, Director of Athletics 194 Faculty dent, the administrator had to keep in mind the fact that the student had broken a school rule, and needed to pay for it. The average day of most administrators was similar, this is what an observer in the attendance office might have seen Joanna Hudson, assistant principal, doing: sus- pending a student, conferencing parents and teachers about student problems, dealing with fifteen attendance problems, preparing fundraising schedules, dealing with custodial problems, answering thirty- five phone calls, working on North Central evaluation, writing two or three memos or letters, serving the infamous lunch detail, and attending a couple of meetings, be- sides. As in all schools, discipline played a ma- jor role in education, but administrators felt that Central was unique from most other schools, in two main areas. The first is the diversity of the students, economi- cally, ethnically, and socially. The second area was the involvement and friendliness of the people. The students are the friendliest and most involved of most schools, said Beebe, principal. Overall, the administrators enjoyed the atmo- sphere and the people at this school.

Why did people teach? What insane madness drives a person to spend eight hours a day with a band of raving teen- agers? Was it because of the money? Was because they couldn't find anything better to do? Or was it the simple fact that they liked to teach? Whatever it was, one thing was for sure, teachers were a very special breed. Without them our society would fail. There have been teachers as long as there has been anything to learn. But still the question remained, why did teachers teach? According to the 1984 World Almanac, teachers in Colorado earned from 19 to 25 thousand dollars in 1984. With those figures one was sure that it wasn't the money that motivated teachers. Money never really crossed my mind when I de- cided to become a teacher. I just wanted to be a teacher and that was that, said social studies teacher, Mr. Small. If it was not money then, what did motivate teach- ers to teach? Math teacher, Mr. Doyle probably summed it up best when he said, HI feel that I can make a real influence teaching high school. High school is a time when kids are going to decide what they're going to do with the rest of their lives, I want to be a part of that. Ahhh, so that's why they wanted to teach. Now that it's known why they want- ed to teach, how did they decide where to teach? lt's really a tough decision, there are a lot of pros and cons to weigh when choosing a school. said Doyle. The types of kids a school has is real impor- tant. I chose Central over Cherry Creek schools because the kids here have real sense of the world. Everything's not hand- ed to them on a silver platter, these kids have to work for what they get. The kids here have seen it all, they're tough kids. Teachers, in any school, in any part of the world, were a necessary part of our society in 1984. They carried the respon- sibilities of training tomorrow's leaders. As long as there is a need for educated peo- ple, teachers will be needed and respect- ed for a long time to come.

Lil Durocher believes in the idea and proves, that too much is just enough. Durocher, who coaches JV Volleyball, sponsors Silver Boots, teaches five P.E. classes and heads the P.E. department will hang up her tennis shoes after 30 years at the close of the 1986 spring school session. She has been the driving force behind many projects that have evolved during her tenure. In 1957, the Silver Boots was founded after a group of senior girls asked her for an opportunity to form a unique and select branch of the Pep Club, 'iThe Silver Bootsf' was the result. She also had a hand in pushing the Girls, Volleyball and Basketball sports to their place as we play them today. I enjoy taking part, but it is still a shame because the girls have yet to- realize all of the tremendous opportunities available to them, said Durocher. Within the P.E. department, many changes have taken place that Durocher was pleased to implement. In the begin- ning, there were two teachers, Durocher and Ray McGuire. Gradually, the num- When l get up in the morning and go to 'work,' I will retire. But so far, I am still going to school, said Lil Durocher. still around bers grew to eight. As the interst in phys- ical education developed, Central felt the need to expand the department. They have tried to keep up with most national trends in the physical theory areas. The latest course additions included sections of aerobic and cardiovascular exercise and awareness. There seemed to be a need to satisfy the wants of the students, conse- quently, the wants were centered around aerobics. Also on the drawing board was a classs in self-awareness with rape, protec- tion and prevention highlights. Hopefully, after Board of Education approval, there will be another court constructed. Durocher knows that she will not be able to stay away from 1050 Newark Street, as she plans to continue working with the Silver Boots. The group has reached greater heights, so they began to call themselves t'New Emotions, per- forming to popular songs of today. But, she take time out to finish all the projects she began, years ago of course, she will travel and finally see the countryside. Yes, l will miss the kids, mainly because everday is different, presenting a new challenge to me, said Durocher, No two days have ever been the same, that's why I am still here. Faculty 197 Mr. Richard West, donning cool'f shades, speaks of his wrestlers at the December 14th pep assembly. Wes who teaches p.e. was one of 14 new teachers. Fourteen new faculty members invade Central Remember what it was like? The first day of a new school? The first day of a new job? Remember the nervousness, the excitement, the fear of not being accepted? Everybody, from every age group and occupation, had experienced these feelings before, even teachers. In all, there were 14 new teachers C12 full time and two part timei ready and on duty when the first day of school arrived. Among these many teachers came a variety of attitudes. Although all of these teachers were happy to be teaching at Central, some were more enthusiastic than others. Mr. Sam Hewson, also the swimming coach, proved this when he began leading the year's remaining pep assemblies starting with the winter assembly. Clad in traditional red and white Santa suit, Hewson jumped and screamed and rooted on students to stand up and cheer. We don't have the money that a lot of other schools have, and we don't have resources that money can buy, the spirit we have can't be bought with money. We have the kids, our biggest asset is the spirit generated by those kids. Kids from all different races and backgrounds. Money doesn't make a great school, kids, and school spirit does, we've got the best of both worlds, Hewson said. Needless to say, there were many problems facing these first year teachers. From making plans for class, to trying to be accepted by students, to trying to get to know the school, the new teachers were 198 Faculty busy from the word go. Probably the biggest problem facing the teachers though, was whether or not they would be accepted by tl other teachers. Apparently they were. It's always hard when you' trying to be accepted in a new place. Then new teachers this ye, have done a good job of settling inf' said Mr. Small, a new teacher la year. Once a new teacher earns the respect of their peers, then thi must try to earn the respect of their students. When the first bell rang on the first day, the new teachers face students that would probably be with them for the rest of year, so was imperative that they set a good student-teacher relationship fro' the very beginning. It was then that teachers faced their biggest tes the kids. Although sometimes the teachers ran into a few problerrl for the most part things ran smoothly and their debut as a teacher .

Get to know students Mr Esch desperately attempted to grade reports as he frantically threw the last of his shirts into his suitcase preparing for his one week stay in Washington D.C. with Close Up.

Ms. Nadine Heiss, without your wis- dom, smart sense and tenacity, the book wouldn't have come out. Thank You. The year was different in many re- spects.

More than 35 years after they had first joined the school district, Mr. William C. Hinkley and Mrs. Alice DeBore were still excited about Aurora Public Schools. 1985 marked the 100 year anniversary of the Aurora Public Schools and no two people were more qualified to tell a group of high school reporters about the events and changes in the district's past. Hinkley became superintendent of the district in 1949, the same year DeBoer joined the district as an elementary school teacher. Although in 1949 the APS border reached to Colorado Boulavaurd, the dis- trict was very small geographically. The borders at the time were from Sixth Ave- nue to Stapleton, and from Yosemite to an imaginary line 1 mile east of Peoria. Be- cause ofthe small size, Hinkley inherited a district with severe financial problems. The residents of the area rejected a tax raise by six votes and Hinkley cut the bud- get bare to 27 teacher salaries, 1 custodi- an, and fuel for heat and light. According to Hinkley, the greatest loss the district has had- since he retired is the High School Aerospace Program. Every- thing we use or do today comes from ad- vancements made in the space move- ment, yet we haven't taught about Aero- space, said Hinkley. DeBoers views here were a little different, she cited the lack of business requirements at the Junior High level tMiddle schooll as the biggest loss in the district. Both agreed that the lack of students in language courses was dissap- pointing, although this seems to be chang- ing again. Both Hinkley and DeBoer faced prob- lems in their first years, which they re- member as the biggest challenge of their lives. Hinkley's was the financial state of the district, and DeBoers was teaching a class in fourth grade which couldn't read. The last thing which both educators said was that they hoped that they had made impressions on the lives of students while they were in the district. There was a group of high school reporters that could testify that their wish was granted.

The time had come to study for final exams, to clean out lockers and to search for sum- mer jobs. The 85 school year was winding to a close, some- how fitting into routine. The year was stuffed full of activity, starting weeks before August 27th, and not quite finishing at the final bell on June 4th. From the very first boys' tennis match to the June lst Graduation, there was some- thing either happening, or be- ing planned. The Senior class sponsored an Air Band con- test, Thursday, November 15th. 746 dollars was grossed resulting in the most money- making Air Band ever. The fall musical, Annie, was a smash, performing to sold- out crowds all three perfor- mances, November 16th, 17th, and 18th. Not only was it a fi- nancial success, but it was also a time for firsts. The lead char- acters were double-cast, and the first matinee show was pre- sented on Sunday, November 18th. The 26rd annual Student Congress went off without a hitch. Students from Range- view and Gateway also partici- pated.

The music department was busy throughout the year. The singing groups gave a fall Con- cert in addition to the tradition- al Winter Holiday Concert on December 16th and 17th. Members of the bands per- formed at the Centennial League I-Ionor Band on De- cember 12th and 13th and also at the All State Band Competi- tion, April 4th and 5th. It was a really neat experience, be- cause everyone who attended, cared about music and wanted to be there, said Julie Mulkey, senior. Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps held a Military Ball, December 14th. It was held at the Lowry Air Force Base Airmen's Club, and the Blue Steel Band per- formed. lt was a lot of fun, and the band was great, said Ann Hatzakis, senior.

The event everyone waited for happened Sat- urday, May 4th, Prom, a traditional evening spon- sored by the Junior class was given for the seniors, There was a rumor of ar After-Prom Party for the people who attended the dance. The idea was tc give party-goers a place tc: go where they would be safe and still be able tc stay out late. Although it wasn't a widely publicized happen- ing, Aurora Public Schools celebrated its 100th Year. For the celebration, a spe- cial school-year calendar was made commemorat- ing the event. It was only fitting that 1985 was a year for celebration. Not only on the district level, but also at 1050 Newark street, because 1985 was made to fit.
