For some it dwindles, looses its shine, becomes less interesting with the passing of the years. But for Central and its students, the older the school became, the more excit- ing and enthusiastic Life became. Aurora Central has inhabitated the same corner lot for over 30 years, with only minor structural additions and alterations. Life, in 1985 and 1986, brought with it many changes for Central. Life was here. It was in the form of the sickly smelling fresh tar that was being put on the roof in early September and in the form of broken air conditioners and heaters that left students in alternating states of heat prostration and numbed with cold. And they were aware with each passing day that Cen- tral was being greatly improved, not greatly repaired. On Sunday, all these empty halls and rooms waited, strangely silent.

There was much to catch up on. For most, these two weeks had been filled with last minute vacations, extra hours on the summer job, earning much needed spending money, or with just deleriously lazy hours up at Cherry Creek Reservoir or in the backyard catching the rays. Really, at first it seemed that nothing was different than any previous year. But some- thing was different. Anyone walking down the halls could feel it. It was in the faces of the football players being cheered on to their 24-21 victory over Boulder in their opening game. It was all the way down the main hall full of jubiliant seniors, anticipating their final months of high school. It pounded the win- dows and doors of the gym during the Sep- tember 20 pep assembly and shined in the Linebacker Jeff White. a senior. looks on as Littleton closes the gap in a narrowly victorious 115-131 Trojan Homecoming game. lj J i lE.

DON'T BE SHY ... STAND AND GIVE YOUR BATTLE CRY!!! . . . It had arrived. This, the thirtieth year Central was to turn out a new crop of graduating seniors, was bubbling and brim- ming with Life. For quite some time, though, Life had been smoldering in the corners, but one by one each person was caught up in it and Life finally exploded. For the Girls' Volleyball Team, Life was bustin' out of its seams. They charged on to a record breaking 14-8 season, full of dynamic comebacks. For the boys on the Football team. who came up with their first winnin- gest season in four years, Life was reborn. Later in athletics, the Boys, Varsity Basket- ball team began its season ranked third and, with less than a handfull of losses to their name by midseason, provided spectators with a lot of lively hoop and hustle. . .,,r. V s. v Opening it Q Life pulsed through the corridors of the school by mid-September, and was nutured by the first Spirit Week from September 16- 20. On that Friday, the pep assembly was resurected. And Life was there. In the screaming voices of over 1,200 students who attended, in the blaring trumpets of the band, and in the whoops and hollers of the returning King of the Spirit Stick, Mr. Sam Hewson. In no other year had the Trojan pep as- sembly attracted so much outside attention. Students and administrators from other dis- trict schools came to see the special Life that was here and were followed by area news crews who wanted to cover the school so full of Life. For this winter, Life brought unseasonally sunny, warm weather, interrupted by only a few days of snow flurries and winds reaching 50 miles an hour. Students continued bask- ing and studying and playing and working during this year full and feisty with Life. Senior Billy Knox steals the ball from a surprised Heritage opponent.

For three decades Student Life at Central had been much the same, but the '85-'86 school year held something special in every event and activity. Life was in the new experiences and memories of the students arriving home from three contin- ents. As the notes floated across the dance floor, students swayed, bopped and rolled to the rock at Homecoming and Prom. In practically every sport, Central proudly boasted players on many All-League and All-State teams and one or more sent to compete at play-offs and state meets. Life was also at the smashingly success- ' ful performances of West Side Story put on for the first time in the Aurora Public Schools. With- out a doubt CentraI's energetic pep assemblies reflected the Life that ran rampant 6 times throughout the year. Life was teeming at the shores of the beach party motif at the first After Prom Party. Some might have said that middle age is a crisis period, but the Central and its Student Life, Life did, indeed, Begin at 30.

The alarm went off, Ju- nior Tyra Parker rolled out of bed in her room in Johnson Dormi- tory. lt was the first day of school. First day? At the end of June? Didn't school end on June 6? Not for Tyra. She was beginning her first day at Phillips Academy, an elite boarding school in pictur- esque Andover, Massachusetts. Officially called the Andover Summer Session, it was a gruel- ing six week test of Tyra's aca- demic ability. She carried two classes, Law, Politics and Soci- ety and Social Psychology, six days a week. Totaled into hours, she spent an amazing 180 hours in class and an additional 10 hours on homework this summer. Tyra cites very good reasons for subjecting herself to school in the summer. l got the chance to learn from the best teachers in the country, meet students from all over the United States and the worldg and get a taste of college life. While Senior Pat Manson did not get a taste of college life, he did get a healthy serving of life on the Olympic trail. ln fact, his sum- mer reads like a script from The Road to Seoul jKoreaj , the site of the 1988 Summer Games. The polevaulting phenomenon started out by jumping 16'5 VA to win a meet in Chicago and earn a spot on the United States Junior Track and Field Team. A month later he was on the road again. He blazed past vaulters from Mexico, Japan, and Canada to take first place in his first time out as representative for the Unit- ed States at Washington State University in Pullman. Less than a 8 Summer 1 week later he finished a respect- able second in Canada. He did so well that he was invited back as a guest vaulter at the Canadian ln- vitational where he placed in the top three among both juniors and seniors C20 and overj. And if that was not enough, he also took first place in the Junior Olympics in iowa City, iowa. An understandably estatic Manson said, l had a better summer than ever, I accom- plished all my goals. Yet another student opted for hard work instead of a long, re- laxing summer. Senior Rebecca Payo literally danced the summer away. She auditioned for and won a chance to attend a six week workshop sponsored by the Cleveland School of Ballet. She spent eight hours each day dancing. But even harder than that, according to Payo, was the pressure of performing in a differ- ent atmosphere. I had to prove myself all over again. Jerry Kohlbeck was also dedi- cated this summer, thought not to academics, nor athletics, nor the arts. The senior spent three weeks in New York and Pennsyl- vania that were dedicated strictly to having fun. He had no memo- ries of any mind-boggling, back- breaking days unless you count the extremely long, extremely taxing days that l spent on the beach watching women. Whether the memories of an all-night essay writing marathon or clamming in the Delaware Riv- er flash across the mind, all these students can remember the sum- mer of 1985 with a smile. - Sonya Sconiers Jerry Kohlbeck, senior, shows that man is very insignificant compared tothe Big Apple.

One might think those are strange sounds to hear in an English or math class, but for many students those were just a few of the daily interruptions heard in class. Ordinarily the sounds of jack- hammers and tractors are kept to construction sites, 1985-86 was not different. Plans for a new gymnasium, art wing, and music- drama room and renovation to the auditorium had been ap- proved by the school board late in the 1984-85 school year. With the approval, construction crews began digging at five separate sites around the school following the completion of the 1984-85 school year. Phase 1 consisted of the re- placement of the school's two old boilers with a new, more effi- cient one, the removal of all as- bestos from beneath the school, and the reinsulation of old pipes. Phase 1 had been scheduled to be completed by mid to late No- vember, but due to unexpected heavy snows and cold tempera- tures, it wasn't finished until late December. While Phase 1 was being com- pleted, Phase 2, the removal of asbestos above ground, was still far from done by Christmas A worker from Clearwater Construc- tion works on getting underground outside of the office. He is getting ready to start repairs on the school's three boil- ers. Construction break. Students with lockers on the gym side of the cafateria hall were notified that they would not have access to their lockers from December 20th to January 6th. Needless to say, reactions were mixed, l couldn't care less, said junior Steve Brelsford l'm not even going to be in school anyway, why would I need to get into my locker? The last major asbestos re- moval project was planned for the auditorium and wasn't sched- uled to be finished until late Feb- ruary or early March. Unfortu- nately this hindered practice for the spring musical and even threatened to postpone the show it not completed on time. I don't mind that they're removing the asbestos, I just don't like how they planned it so that it inter- feres with the production of West Side Story, said junior Christine Zalesky. Despite the minor inconven- iences like eviction notices and noisy interruption in class, the school, its students and teachers alike, survived. After all, The noise and piles of dirt and asbes- tos meters in the halls were all worth it for a whole new section of the school, said history teacher Mrs. Foster. - By Chris Gallegos c....,..--v-- nal paula: S 3-1-:ul n ull .

Can't re- member? Think hard. For most students, the week of the home- coming game tends to be slightly crazyg and for good reason. A few days before Trojan Week be- gins, Student Government classi- fies each day of the week as something fun, yet different than the year before. Monday, September 16 sig- naled the beginning of another Homecoming Spirit Week, nerd day. Nerd day has got to be the wierdest day l can think of. Actu- ally, it's kind of stupid, but it's fun, said junior Ben Booker. Taped, thick rimmed glasses, oversized polyester plaid shirts, and high water pants were the general costume for nerds that day. Tuesday the 17 was labeled movie star day and students were encouraged to dress up as their favorite actor. As one might have guessed, the majority of the students who participated were either Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, or Michael J. Fox's character in Back to The Fu- ture. Wednesday, Caddyshack day , called for checkered caps, OP's and golf clubs. Homecoming Week Thursday was Beach day. While not exactly Palm Beach, students had no problem pre- tending tand wishingj that they were at the beach enjoying a day of fun in the sun. Fortunately, for those that thrived on extracurricular activity, Student Government set up games during lunchtime. They were plagued between classes and the winning class for that day was the defending champions until another class beat them at something else. Monday's lunch- time activity was a rootbeer drinking contest. The juniors won that contest, but were defeated by the seniors on Tuesday during the V.W. racing contest. Wednes- day was a water balloon tossing contest and more than one stu- dent returned to sixth hour just a little wet. The games concluded Thursday with a tug of war with the seniors eventually coming out on top. Finally it was Friday and time for the Pep Assembly. At ap- proximately 10:00 students filed into the gym unaware of the ex- citement Mr. Hewson had pre- pared for them. The fun began when the band played Joshua and everyone, including the freshmen, joined in. Following a number of Hewson cheers, the students were ready for a little ac- tion. Hewson introduced four foot- ball players, completely dressed in football gear and representing the individual classes. The object of the competition was to see which player could undress himself completely and redress the cheerleader as- signed to him. Seniors Chris Wid- helm and Jill Brown won easily. One by one, the fall sports were intro- duced: Girls swimming, soccer, cross country, gymnastics, golf and football. Scattered among the intro- ductions were competitions be- tween not only the class but be- tween the sports as well. The band again contributed to the fun by playing and singing George of the Jungle, Mr. Hew- son's new school song. Before one knew it, the assembly was over and it was time to go back to class. The sophomores returned happily after winning the class competition and the juniors and seniors vowed the-y'd get even next time. After the last bell rang on Friday the 20th, Spirit Week was officially over. All that remained was the game itself and the dance. This was one of the best home- coming weeks we've had since l've been here , said Senior Mike Les- ter.

The band played during the hour and a half on Oct. 9. Enjoying their breakfast are Senior Roosevelt Taylor and Junior Ben Booker. Part of the enjoyment was being excused from their first hour class to attend the function. Student!

V fj, ft u Students ure eueused from firsi hour classes to eujeu reukfu I On Wednesday, October 9, 200 student government mem- bers and teachers arrived at school early to prepare for the annual Student!Faculty break- fast held at Burns Methodist Church. As a tradition, the break- fast was very successful. This year the menu was quite different than usual with eggs, cold cereal, and croissants, instead of pan- cakes. Mr. Ray Best, the Student Government sponsor said, We decided to change the menu and offer different choices of food, such as cold cereals and crois- santsf' The Student Government used enough food to keep one's mind spinning. They used 840 eggs, two cases of orange juice and a case of apple juice. They also used 35 dozen doughnuts, 15 dozen croissants and 25 gallons of milk donated by King Soopers as was 25 dollars worth of ham. And finally 20 boxes of different are etsreespf j kinds of cereal. Some students liked this breakfast ideal because they didn't have to go to their first hour class. l'd rather stay home and sleep, said junior, James Rarick. Others wanted to attend. There were mixed reactions about the breakfast. Junior Tim Hanna said, The music was great but the food wasn't. Some of the teachers who par- ticipated in this year's breakfast by cooking were Ms. Noone, Mr. Chin and Mr. VanGytenbeek. This year they only had three teachers helping. All the teachers handled the eggs. With the money they raised, they bought lunch for the nurses who helped with the blood drive. The rest of the 104 dollars was put in the Student Government treasury account that will be used to help with other activities planned for the year. - by Dennis Devey Teachers Eric Chin and Tony Van Gytenbeek cook some of the 840 eggs.

An odd mix of plea- sure, anger, frustration boredom texcept for the crew heads who are usually so busy they have lit- tle time to show emotion.J The Diary of Anne Frank is about a young teenage girl who has gone into hiding with her par- ents to avoid capture by the Na- zis. Anne, her parents, and five friends hide in the attic of an of- fice building from 1942-1945 be- fore they are discovered by the Germans, and sent to concentra- tion camps. Mr. Dussel ttierry Kohlbecki was the only one to survive the camps. The play was the first at Cen- tral to be directed by Ms. Polly Noone, the new drama teacher at Aurora Central. lt was a learning experience, said Noone after it was all over and the final curtain had closed. What many people don't real- ize is that there is more going on backstage. This statement is quite true. There was quite a bit of hustle and bustle going on at all times. The crew had trouble all night with the black hole , that mysterious place where everyth- ing dissapears into when you need it. The make-up crew was probably the luckiest of the crews with most of their head- aches coming before the play. The prop crew head, Chirs Za- lesky, had the biggest responsi- bility backstage due to the sheer number of props involved. The costume crew, after some early troubles, managed to get it to- gether for opening night with smooth and quiet costume changes. Ms. Noone described the harmony between the cast and the crew accurately when said, Everyone worked together ensemble which was very impor- tant because when a cast and crew don't work together, the play isn't a success. Although attendance was low on the first night, the second and third nights of the play had a much larger turnout. - by Ben Bauer Cast Anne Frank Patricia Blake Mrs. Frank Lyn Schrotberger Mr. Frank Eric Moore Margot Frank Mrs. Van Daan Mr. Van Daan Peter Van Daan Miep Jennifer Johnson Erica Watts Da ve Shirley Robbie Martinez Kathy Puglisi Mr. Kraler Harry Barnes Mr. Drussel Jerry Kohlbeck At the beginning oi the two year peri- od in the attic, Anne, sophomore Pa- tricia Blake, receives a diary from her father.

The reason for this was an Aurora Central pep assembly. Sam Hew- son, science teacher, always ran into the gym excited and ready to perform, l'm never expecting what Mr. Hewson will do next, said senior Tonya Shear. The cheerleaders showed their spirit also, the crowd started to get rowdy and the assembly began. The kids are the ones that get me fired up! said Hewson. ln re- turn the students reacted. Mr, Hewson promotes so much spirit in us, said Senior Heather Sel- lars. He introduced many skits, competitions, sports in season and any awards throughout the entire 40 minutes of each assem- bly. During the assemblies, there were many certain main events. In the October pep asembly, some of the boys' football team portrayed whistling pigmies, with stomachs painted as faces and shortened pants. They froliced around the gym and whistled to the beat ofthe music. On the De- cember 13th assembly, the main attraction was the all-star wres- tling match performed by some of the school staff, including Tony VanGytenbeek, Steve Rath, John Green and Tony Davis. Central's pep assemblies were so extraordinary that others rec- ognized them. During the De- cember 13th assembly, Channel 9 News heard and then taped the assembly for their evening news- cast. Other schools came to Au- rora Central to the assemblies to see the action for themselves, and to improve their pep assem- blies. There was always the part when all of the school got rowdy. This was the class competition. First, the freshman, with, Fresh- man, freshman, don't be shy, stand and give your battle cry, V- I-C-T-O-R-Y, that's our freshman battle cry! and on up through the sophomore, junior, and sen- ior classes - each cheering for class competition ruler. The first pep assembly of the year, the sophomores took the competi- tion. There were four teachers along with Mr. Hewson judging the competition along with his all-knowing spirit stick . Class competition did not end with the spirit stick, there were other class competitions. During the first pep assembly in Octo- ber, there was the bubble blow- ing contest. The first class to blow a bubble with a fresh piece of bubble gum would be the vic- tors. With each class that com- peted, everyone got into the con- test and got involved as part of the school. There is a lot of time and effort put into the organization of every pep assembly by Hewson. I go home and think of ideas the kids might enjoy, said Hewson. The entire school benefits' from the immense work put into each as- sembly. ln each assembly we ex- pressed our school spirit, we had fun, and thanks to a little item known as the assembly schedule, we got out of each class early on these days! - by Liane Gould Pep Assemblies Ratt came to Red Rocks September, 1,1985.

Sun-burns, Bermuda shorts, and sunglasses were the basic sce- nery around Red Rocks. People of all ages filled the amphitheater at it's opening waiting to see Huey Lewis and The News. Huey Lewis and The News was one of the biggest concerts to come to Red Rocks in Feyline's 1985 Summer of Stars. Huey Lewis sold out four consecutive shows in early August. Opening with 'Power of Love' really got the crowd excited for an excellent show, said sophomore Bose Al- leva, who attended Huey Lewis on the first night. Math teacher, Linda Masters attended the con- cert on the last night, The older songs were some of the best, she commented after the show. Each show was electrifying in it's own right. All the concerts this summer possessed this same kind of in- tencity for their audience. Some of the other concerts this summer were: Howard Jones, Batt, Bon- nie James Dio and Tears for Fears. The price of tickets ranged from approximately S14 to S20 a person. Howard Jones was al- v Q . e 9 Xxlf Huey Lewis and The News had four consecutive sold out shows at Red Rocks, June 9-12.

Another Heavy Met- al concert, Flonie James Dio, was credited for having an excel- lent stage show including a me- chanical dragon with lazer eyes and smokey breath. Tears for Fears was another obviously enjoyed concert by many. People waited for the news of a date for the concert. When the date was announced, many rushed to get tickets. Feyline succeeded this year in providing a wide variety of con- certs for every taste in entertain- ment.

Senior Pat Manson is exhibiting this new style in sweaters. Sa cial Some students fit right in, oth- ers stood out. Their diversity was shown through the wide variety of fads and fashions. The more popular looks were commonly seen on a large num- ber of students. The Swatch Watch, one of the most notable trends, was heard ticking throughout the day. These ac- cessories were so well-liked that they were occasionally worn in pairs. A fad that always came in pairs was the Reebok athletic shoes. Some people opted for a dres- sier, casual look. Oversized, bold print shirts and Shaker knit sweaters were popular pieces of clothing. Some of the most pop- ular fashions we've seen at school are stirrup pants, pastels, and Madonna prints, said soph- omores Tara Martin and Susie Huffnagle. There were also many fads and fashions that weren't as widely distributed but that were always ,ti Na 95351 Senior Chris Anderson-Kramer has his hair colored in two ditterent shades. He is also wearing an oversized cardigan sweater and black-dyed Levis. No longer do people only think ot handbags when the name Gucci is mentioned. Senior Jin Chon wears a Gucci sweatshirt, which is popular among guys. 24 Fads And Fashions noticed. Fashions such as long skirts, big, baggy pants, black laced boots, berets and leather jackets donned students throughout the year. When any- body tries to be different, the ma- jority of people don't accept it, said Marisa Williams, senior. This is one of the main reasons why such fasions were only worn by a few students. Besides clothes and accesso- ries, students hairstyles made up a big part of their looks. Long, short, straight, curly, dyed, up and down were all coils present throughout the year. The variety of reasons for looks equalled the number of looks themselves. I dress the way I do to show my individuality, said sophomore David Hodges. People's similarities and differ- ences worked together to create the diversity which made this school special. - Pam Feigitsch se.

Two of the three performances were sold out, including the dinner show that was sponsered by au- rora Central music boosters. In addition to these performances, there was also a series of dress rehearsals that were attended by students from various Aurora ele- mentary schools.

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years-Seasons Greet- ings! Holidays were a very impor- tant time for everyone. Not only was it a time for warmth and sharing, but also, and most im- portantly a vacation from school. Thanksgiving was the begin- ning of the holiday spirits. But thanksgiving wasn't only the din- ner. lt was the four day weekend. Many students had family mem- bers that live outside of Colorado so it was time to go visit the rela- tives. As did junior Brett Green- walts' family, taking off for Kan- sas a couple days before Thanksgiving to visit his grand- parents. Jingle Bells. Trim the tree, it was Christmas time. You better not pout, you better be good, you better remember the gifts. Aurora Mall and Buckingham Square were two close and pop- ular shopping centers. They were, unfortunately, often too popular. The Aurora mall has a lot of stores to get everyones pre- sents. But when it's too packed, l sometimes go to Cinderalla City, since it's a lot bigger. said sen- ior Scott Tlrone. The malls were usually the busiest during the Christmas season especially the day after Thanksgiving. Novem- ber 29th was the busiest shop- ping day of the season. My mom usually waits until the last minute this way we can't peak at the presents, said sophomore Jennifer Blake. This year the ca- lander didn't leave too many chances to shop this season since Thanksgiving fell later this year than usual, knocking out a few shopping days. After the shopping came time 28 Holidays gelelriefg to enjoy the season and start couting down. No one wanted to miss December 12th, 13th, and 14th, the big parade of lights, downtown on Larimer with its floats and bands. The nativity scene was always pleasant to see flooded with lights on the steps of the Civic Center. Besides eating ham and opening presents first thing on Christmas morning what else did students do? SKl ! junior Tobin Bewely said in excitement. Gotta hit those slopes and get wild! Bewely ex- claimed. Snow wasn't everyones fantasy for Christmas, like for sophomore Fred Collazo, who spent his Christmas vacation on the white sands and warm sun of San Diego, California. Surfing, whale watching and the new years bonfire beach partyg these were a few of the things Collazo enjoyed. ln Colorado the family gets cooped up in the house when it snows. ln California you can get out, added sophomore Fred Collazo after putting his shorts away and getting out the sweaters. Others caught up on favorite soaps and slept while some others worked extra hours. Down came the mistletoe, and out came a new year. Tuesday, December 31 was the night of a Boulder Bash, a party full of friends, or an all night skating party were two of the many choices students had of breaking in the new year. Every one spent that last night of 1985 differently. Senior, Kim Smith said, What's a celebration without friends?

Holidays 29 Skim make skiing the focal paint of winter and became 50 qucrzfrs Something magical happens to people when they get out on the ski slopes and tune into the spirit of Colorado's most popular win- ter activity. Sking gives me a chance to relax, think, and get away from the everyday routine of school, said Sophomore Marcus Red- dick. Freshman Kirk Johnson ad- ded, l've been skiing for a long time, and every year it gets more exciting. The sport of skiing meant more than just learning to maneuver down ski slopes over varying de- grees of challenge. lt meant im- mersing oneself in winter and it's moods- sunshine, snowstcrms, fog, and cold. Among highschool students, skiing was a famed weekend ac- tivity. The avid skiers could be found weekend after weekend on the slopes. This was a time to be with friend's or making new ones. There were always new chal- lenges and excitement, whether it was conquering moguls, mak- ing it down a slope without fall- ing, or in some cases racing. Many vacations were spent at the slopes too. Sophomore Rick Krivjansky said, My family goes up for a week and spends most of the time skiing. lt gives all of us a chance to get away, yet still be close to home. Cross country skiing was also a sport enjoyed by some rather than downhill skiing. I cross country ski because there's no cost for lift tickets and there aren't any crowds, said Senior John Glover. Skiing had one major draw- back -the cost. With life-ticket, equipment, clothing, and travel Winter Activities prices, this activity could easily become expensive. The majority of the resorts increased their lift rates by two to three dollars. Full day tickets ranged in price from 37.50 at small resorts like Vail or Aspen. Equipment bought new could cost as much as or more than 3600, for skis, boots, bind- ings, and poles. A good deal on reconditioned equipment could be found for about 570. Renting was costly too, especially if done on a regular basis. Whether rent- ed in town or at the slopes, the cost ranged between S10 and 9514 a day. And a way to get to the slopes was also a frequent problem. But there were ways to scrimp. By taking advantage of clothing and equipment sales, discount ski cards, package deals, and prepurchased ticket arrange- ments the sport became more reasonable. The school's ski club and other club sponsorsed trips also made skiing more afforda- ble. Colorado's position as the win- ter sports capital of the U.S. was enhanced by over 128 million dollars of improvements and ex- pansions at the state's 32 ski re- sorts. Highlights of the year's projects included night skiing on nine of Keystone's popular runs, the new Peak 10 at Brecken- ridge, and many other lifts and acres of skiable terrain at other popular resorts. Skiers, whether downhill or cross-country, were winter's con- querors and having sensed this spirit made skiing the focal point of their winter fun. -Linda Young Since Colorado is one ol the best ski- ing spots in America, many Central students found it an enioyable week- end passtime. Senior Allison Starke took skiing more seriously by training for and racing in many competitions. Senior Allison Starke took everyone by surprise this year when she placed filth in the Junior NASTAR ski race in Aspen. Starke has only been skiing for almost three years.

They chose to give up their Christmas Break and in one case the entire school year, to explore exotic and foreign lands. Junior Derrick Johnson chose to explore Africa and with sixteen other students he travelled to Nairobi Kenya on a program sponsored by Denver Sister Cities International. He did not need to wait long for excitement. His flight was rerouted to from the Ivory Coast to Guienea be- cause ofa Palestenian Liberation Organization bomb threat. When the students evacuated the plane they found that they were sur- rounded by members ofthe Afri- can Army holding machine guns. Finally, things calmed down and Johnson's plane touched down in Nairobi. Touring Nairobi was the formeost thing on his list. Said Johnson, l was really surprised at how modern the city was. lt was just like Denver. But he did get a glimse of the primitiveness of Africa. The last week of their trip, he and the group visited a girls' school, bringing books from the United States. lt is hard to imagine people so poor that they have to drink water filled with parasites. That's what these girls were doing. After viewing such poverty first hand, Johnson came home more grateful. ln concluding Johnson added, Making the trip across the conti- nent of Africa gave me the chance to observe African values and compare them to my own. While Johnson was leaving for 32 Student Exchange Africa, Senior Ed Zinter was tak- ing off for Australia. Although his flight was less eventful, his trip prooved equally as rewarding. He was chosen from a field of 150 guys to play on a twenty man baseball team sponsored by United States Sports Exchange. ln Brisbane, their first stop, Zinter had the honor of playing in the first international baseball game every played in the Austra- lian city. From there they flew to Sydney to play another team from the United States. lt was so great to play the game l love in a place like Australia, said Zinter. it also helped that we won all our games. He, too, found the majority of the country to be like the United States, describing Brisbane as a larger San Francisco. Another enjoyable difference was the food. Zinter recounted how he and the rest of the group ordered spaghetti from the hotel dining room. Their excitement at eating an American favorite turned to apprehension when the food ar- rived. According to Zinter, The noodles were normal looking, but the sauce was brown instead of red. Surprisingly enough it tasted greatl Other surprises of the trip in- cluded being asked to sign auto- graphs for Australian children. We also got a free taxi ride when the driver realized we were Americans, said Zinter. lt was an incredible feeling to have peo- ple treat you like a professional baseball player. They really love Americans down there. - Sonya Sconiers Senior Pam Girardi poses with a cou- ple of new buddies during a stay in Norway. Traveling abroad was a prime opportunity to make lasting friendships. Junior Derek Johnson went with six- teen other youths to Nairobi, Kenya. The group brought books for some stu- dents in a girls' school to use, Two priviledged seniors, Ed Zinter and Shawn Powell, went to Bris- bane, Australia over Christmas Break.

Student Exchange 33 ,Madera Kamen and julie! premieres A earns standing Ovation As the final scene ended on each of the three running nights of West Side Story, the cast and crew were greeted with a stand- ing ovation from the audience. The last major production of the year filled the auditorium with satisfied crowds on March 6, 7, and 8. West Side Story was per- formed by Aurora Central High School for the first time in the Aurora Public Schools. This musical production's storyline is similar to that of Romeo and Ju- liet. lt is the tale of a young man, Tony , and a young woman, Maria , from rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, who fall deeply in love with one another. The play involves love and hate and finally ends in tragedy when Tony is shot and killed by Maria's fiance, Chino . The ending has a sort of unity of the gangs as they both remorse the death of Tony , Much like the characters in the play, the cast and crew were brought together. There was an incredible comrad- ship between a diversified group of people, said junior Ben Bauer. Once the cast was choosen from the nearly iOO students who tried out in both singing and dancing auditions, the produc- tion began rehersals. The dedi- cated cast and crew along with director Polly Noone, band lead- er Mr. Lucas, the orchestra, and other important people all worked together to produce a successful program. After nearly two months of hard work the play was ready for the stage. Once the curtain came up the action began. The impres- sive art work set up the stage as a 1950's New York City street, an apartment and a drugstore. As the orchestra played familiar songs such as Somewhere , the diversified players showed their dancing, singing and acting talents. Senior Jerry Kohlbeck agreed that the play was diversi- fied by saying I really enjoyed doing West Side Story. lt gave everyone a chance to do some- thing different and show individ- ual talents. The patience, training, learn- ing, and hard work of all the peo- ple involved made a premiere performance ot West Side Story a unique and memorable exper- i6ViCG.

With the mild winter and the early spring weather, everybody was anxious to be away from school and out enjoy- ing the sunshine. Luckily the weather did not change and mother nature provided a week of record breaking temperatures. For the most part, everybody spent their week long vacation from school relaxing and having fun. Spending time out in the sun was among the most popular ac- tivities. Sun bathing in the back- yard with a good book in the hands, and the stereo blasting, or even while snoozing was the big- gest concern of many. Others found that the occasion called for an earlier visit than usual to Cher- ry Creek Reservoir where every body layed around catching the rays, socializing, playing frisbee. volleyball, and other games. Another popular activity was spring skiing. At the slopes peo- ple sported their bright bermuda shorts to match their bright red burnt faces during the week of Spring Break which provided some perfect skiing. People spent anywhere from a day to the whole week at their favorite re- sort. Freshman Kirk Johnson said, lt was really nice because of the good weather, you didn't have to worry about getting cold Seniors Jody Murphy, Chris Kramer, Lisa Landis, Julie Burmester, Melanie Thurston and Mary Taylor bask in the sun. Most seniors immensely enjoyed their last restful spring break of high school. Brittany Bruhn, a senior, enjoys a Spring Break Party at Cherry Creek. The last week in march was one of re- cord-breaking warm temperatures and summer-like weather. and having to go into the lodge to warm up. The disadvantage though was that there were so many people and the lift lines were pretty long. But no matter what anybody did, they spent time with their friends, whether from Central or from other schools that were out. Some students like Sophomore Jennifer Westadt even went out of state to see friends. Westadt said, I visited a friend in Califor- nia, but also got to spend time at the tourist attractions. There were also those less for- tunate people who, despite hav- ing a vacation from school did not get a vacation from practice or work. Also the spring sports teams practiced at least three days during the week while base- ball also had a couple of games and track had a meet. And even those who did not do anything exciting could still say that they had relaxed, slept in, or watched their favorite game show, old rerun, or soap on the television. All in all, spring break was a time for everybody to take life easy and have some fun. Sen- ior Terri Grzybowski summed it up by saying, This was the best spring break I ever had. All the nice weather and the fun made it feel like summer. - By Linda Young Spring Break 37 Air Band emcee, Sam Hewson tells his Fishing Story. Hewson was the announcer for both Air Bands.

The 1985 and 1986 Air Bands achieved this with great smoothness. The 1985 Winter Air Band had lots of great bands. Among them were the Go- Go's. The Go-Go's won third place and the group called Delta House won second place. The first place winners were Batt with the song You're in Love. The judges for the winter show were seniors Rich Sutton and Stacy Taylor, along with teachers Julie Bailey and Shel- ly Gaglia. The spring Air Band fol- lowed the successful winter show with even better perfor- mances from the bands. The third place winners were the Golden Girls with a medley of songs by the Supremes. The second place prize was awarded to the group who did Josie Cotton, with the song Johnny are you queer. The first place winners were the Beach Boys. The judges of the spring show were teachers Fred Col- lins, Polly Noone, Patrick Gus- sie, and Carol Myron. Accord- ing to Julie Bailey, the Air Band organizer, we decided to use teachers as judges be- cause students were getting too much flack from other stu- dents . Judging was based on cre- ativity and originality, lip and dance synchronization, how the group looked on stage, and the overall effect. Teacher Sam Hewson, em- ceed both shows. ln the spring show he performed a scene from the movie Fiisky Business with the song old Time Bock 'n' Roll . But in between per- formances he kept the audi- ence busy with jokes and oth- er activities while the back stage crew set up for the next group. lf it wasn't for lvlr. Hewson, said Bailey, we wouldn't have been able to keep the show running as smoothly. With all the gerat bands and the excitement, the '85 and '86 Air Bands were the best we have ever had.

At times, though, the news of tragedy and hardship seemed to overshadow that of the good tidings. Close to home, Colorado basked in the unusually warm, mild weather. Nature did provide for what the Rockies are famous in winter and many ski resorts throughout the mountains en- joyed extended seasons. ln De- cember, tragedy struck as a ski- lift in Keystone malfunotioned, sending skiers plunging almost 100 feet to the ground below. Senior DeeDee Nguyen and Ju- nior Holly Nguyen's father re- mained in the hospital many weeks from serious injuries suf- fered in the accident. Religious and reading Denver- ites lost two very contributing people this year. Archbishop James Casey died of a blood clot in early spring after a prolonged fight. Earlier, in January, Rocky Mountain News columnist, John Coit, died of a sudden heart at- tack, leaving a new wife and three children. On the charitable side, Dad- dy Bruce Randolph, the big- hearted octogenarian, layed out his annual feasts for the hungry on holidays, feeding over 50,000 on Thanksgiving Day 1985. Up north, in Boulder, over sev- eral months, some CU frat houses were gutted by a series of arson fires. The Buff's fraternity brothers, however, continued to rebuild their homes away from home after the fires. lt was announced during May that Elitch's Amusement Park, a popular place to almost four gen- erations of Denverites, would be moving to a more outlaying sub- urb of the city. Also announced was the relocation andlor possi- ble enlargement of Stapleton, the seventh busiest airport in the world. ln national sports, Pete Rose, on September 11, became the hittingest baseball player in history, with 4,192 hits to his name. The big hit came at 8:01 p.m. at the Cincinnati Reds' Riverfront Stadium. Also in base- ball, Royals' pitcher, Danny Jackson, was watched closely by many Aurorans. The Kansas City player, a Central alumnus, pitched two winning games in the 1985 World Series against St. Louis. During the football season, the Chicago Bears' 308 pound de- fensive tackle William The Re- frigerator Perry became a household word when he scored a touchdown off a set play. Needless to say, the Bears' fa- vorite appliance was then used in offensive plays, as well. ln basketball, a member of the gentler sex, Lynette Woodard, became the first female Harlem Globetrotter in the team's 60 year history. The six-foot Woo- dard, 26, declared it the oppor- tunity of the century. ln the world of entertainment Thursday night was considered by many as the night for TV. A rnain reason for this was the pop- ularity of 'The Cosby Show', that half-hour of family entertainment that dealt with serious and not- so-serious issues with sensitivity and humor. Miami Vice was a show that inspired new fashion trends. Young men across the country sported the look with white and pale suits over T-shirts and bare feet in oxfords. For those who liked to be cap- tivated by an intriguing, complex plot, there was the mini-series, back in full force. Many popular Community And World Events novels were brought to the small screen, among them Danielle Steel's 'Crossings' and 'North and South,' both book one and two, based on John Jakes sagas of the south. At the movies, the summer blockbuster that continued into the school year was 'Back to the Future' with Michael J. Fox. The industry kept the interest of intel- ligent movie-goers with the popu- lar, mid-winter drama Out of Af- rica , starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford and The Color Purple which introduced Whoo- pie Goldberg. For the side of America that was flexing its su- perpower muscles, there was Sylvester Stallone in Rocky IV and later Top Gun starring Tom Cruise. Of musical note, the Boss , Bruce Springsteen, thrilled Den- ver with two concerts in the fall and Whitney Houston became a fast-rising star, with her third spectacular hit, The Greatest Love Of All. Many musicians banded to- gether, under the organization of Bob Geldof, on July 13 to contri- bute 16 hours of non-stop rock simultaneously in London and Philadelphia which raised 370.5 million for Africa's hungry. Sparks from Live Aid generat- ed a dozen more like it. Singer Willie Nelson organized Farm Aid and drew 78,000 fans for the plight of America's farmers. It truly did seern a year for giv- ing and, on May 24, over six mil- lion Americans stretched from coast-to-coast to help the na- tion's hungry in a project called Hands Across America.

In medicine, Aids became in- creasingly prevalent and feared. lt inspired worldwide testing and spared none in choosing its vic- tims, even claiming the life of Hol- lywood's great actor Rock Hud- son at 59. Illness was not the only danger to the population, the world's ter- rorists became increasingly dar- ing and violent. On June 14, 1985, TWA flight 847 from Ath- ens was hijacked and shuttled dizzingly between Algeria and Lebanon. One American was ex- ecuted and 37 other hostages were hidden in various places in Beirut for 14 days. ln August, another airplane be- came the object of the world's attention when JAL flight 123 to Toyko crashed into the side of a mountain on August 12, killing 502 people. There were only four survivors in this, the single worst airplane crash in history. ln December, families of U.S. servicemen mourned their deaths in yet another airplane disaster before the close of 1985. The men, most from around Georgia, were on their way home for Christmas when their plane went down and burned in New found- land. The year dubbed the worst in aviation history was tragically topped with the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, only 70 seconds into its flight on January 28. Horrified spectators watched 42 Community And World Events the craft explode into a fireball and the debris on its four minute fall on its nine-mile drop to the Atlantic Ocean. Months later, the cockpit and the crews remains were salvaged to finally be put to rest. ln mid-April, the U.S. attacked with an air strike against Libya and its leader, Colonel Ouaddafi. ln later April, the nuclear reac- tor in Kiev, USSR was rocked by an explosion and fire. The news of the meltdown at Chernobyl didn't reach the West's ears until early May and not from T.A.S.S., the Soviet news agency but from a radio operator in Sweden get- ting messages from the Soviet nation. Within weeks, the radio- active dust had reached as far West as Romania and Yuglosla- via and south as Italy in heavy, possibly dangerous amounts. America sent speciaslists to Kiev to study and test food producing animals for any after effects of the radiation. ln May, the terrorists were at it again and a handful of Americans were killed as a bomb concealed in a TWA airplane to Cairo ex- ploded in flight, blowing a gaping hole in the plane's side and sev- eral seats out with it. During this time, the Toyko summit was be- ing held, with seven nations re- presented. Their discussions pro- duced no brilliant declarations but two important communiques were issued: one condemning state sponsored terrorism and the other supporting plans to sta- bilize currency rate fluctuations. Only days later, terrified par- ents watched as their children in an elementary school in Coke- ville, Wymoming were held hos- tage by David Young, a former policeman, and his wife Doris. They demanded S300 million in ransom for the 150 students' and adults' release. She was killed in- stantly when a bomb, one of many explosives there, accident- ly detonated, buring 74 around her, as well. Young shot and killed himself seconds afterward. ln Oregon, nine young lives were lost in an ill-prepared climb- ing expedition on Mt. Hood. Within 14 feet of the summit, the 13 climbers encountered a sud- den blizzard. Two went down the mountain on their own power to find help that day and after ex- tensive searching, two teenagers were rescued from a snow cave containing the rest of the climb- ers and taken to a nearby hospi- tal. Nature was at her most chaotic in 85-86, a blizzard being not the worst of her exploits by far. An earthquake that shook Mexico City left 5,000 dead and 15,000 homeless. Then, in Columbia, the volcano Nevado del Ruiz left more than 20,000 dead or miss- ing under mud and ashes. lt did seem, many times, that there was nothing sacred or worth celebrating in life around the world. Miracles were doubt- ed, so people had to make their own. The workers behind those extravagant charities had to sometimes produce miracles. There was an infant found buried in Mexico City's rubble, that mi- raculously lived. And then there was the miracle of freedom shared by Americans. The Statue of Liberty, our symbol of free- dom, was refurbished and strengthened, in a project cost- ing fB66.3 millino, over several months. Three million dollars was comprised of pennies and dimes donated by school children alone. This was what we all, per- haps, should have done, finding the littlest, smallest miracles in a Life that sometimes . . . couldn't. -Edie Washko 34:55 iii! -i it e ' s. i- i' ' ' 'WW 'f viii -X r fi -f.

As sen- ior Jerry Kohlbeck described it, lt had to be the best Prom that l've been to. lt was well worth the fB25.00. lt was nearly impossible to find someone who disagreed with Kohlbeck's statement. Said English teacher and Senior Class sponsor Julie Bailey, The peo- ple, the hotel, the music-it was all very appropriate. It was a nice introduction for the seniors to what a sophisticated party will be like. The Junior Class did a wonder- ful job in organizing the sepcial event. But all the time and hard work was well worth it, said class President Dwight Larsen.

This may sound the assortment of complimentary like a strange combination but it was the right combination for fun. At 12:00 midnight, following a successful prom, Central's first After-Prom Party got under way. A check-in at the door and a stamp on the hand was all that was needed for 510 Juniors, Sen- iors and guests to get in to the party. After picking up complimen- tary straw hats, beachcombers were treated to gambling and a hula dancer in the big gym. Fur- ther down the coast line, party- goers were entertained by an in- door golf course, donated by Smokey Hill High School, movies, and video games. KlMNs Scott Jenkins was the guest D.J. for the lively disco held in the cafeteria. For those interested in a mid- night swim, the pool was open. Whether students swam, dived, or lounged by the pool watching Jaws , they enjoyed them- selves. food found up and down the coast was equally as ample. The excitement of the night came to a climax at 5:45 a.m. Just before the end of the party, Junior Todd Philippi won what most guests were hoping for, the grand prize of a Honda Motor Scooter, donated by Mile High Honda. The idea for an After Prom Party was first presented at a PTSA meeting in August. Soon after that the plans began. The hard work and bright ideas of many parents, teachers, stu- dents, and other helpful volun- teers made the halls and rooms of school look and feel like the beach of a tropical island.

Activities such as the senior weekend, getting senior portraits, and just hanging out at Cherry Creek on Senior ditch day, make a class come together, as explained by Senior Mark Nicholson. The weekend before the luncheon was rather eventful for at least a portion of the senior class. The problem was usually mixed signals, combined with the same kind of communication foul-ups, that cut attendance. May 17, 18 and 19 were the dates of the much celebrated, but sparcely attended Senior Weekend. At the bonfire, held earlier in the year, the case was the same. lt was made possible for only the most well-informed. Graduation was undoubted the most important activity of sen- iors' events, but many mundane jobs had to be finished to get to that final point on May 31 at ll- lium Field. The 354 graduating Trojans had to address an- nouncements, if they wished, pick up their caps and gowns tand take them backl and possi- bly scrounge up the money to pay for four years of fines that had accumulated with interest. These were the things, exciting and not so exciting that made up what was, for most, their most important last days and weeks of their informal schooling. They were now considered adults and had to take on all the responsibil- ities and privileges that it stood for. - Robert Brown During an awards ceremony after lunch, winners in the categories vot- ed on at the big senior meeting in April were announced. There were seri- ous ones, like most intelligent and not so serious, like Most Flirtatious, 48 Senior Activities The Senior luncheon took place al the Sheraton Tech Center on Friday, May 23. After eating, the students and faculty attending were treated to a perfor- mance by The White Boys Plus One. Senior Jody Murphy, appointed Stu- dent Body SecretarylTreasurer in mid year, was one of about a fifth of the class camping. The weekend was scheduled and rescheduled several times forthe convience of the people attending. Caps and gowns were distributed to seniors on May 22 and 23. Counseling secretary Barbara Cockrel handled their distribution, keeping tabs on who had and had not picked theirs up.

Finally, those 12 long years of struggle seemed to have ended, while the Class of 1986 marched into the sound of Pomp and Circumstance . Bevin Barbo, senior class se- cretaryftreasurer, opened the ceremony with the invocation. She compared the Senior Class to the book The Outsiders. She quoted the poem, Nothing Golden Can Stay , concluding by saying, l hope we all stay golden. One of the sweeter moments in the ceremony was the presenta- tion ofthe insignia. Patricia Lord, vice president on the board of education, presented the cap and gown to her son Tom Lord, Senior Class President, while the audience became very sentimen- tal. Tom Lord then gave the sig- nal for the graduates to release their green and white balloons, signifying that the sky was the limit. Even though there was an awards assembly, in place of Baccalaureate, on Thursday, May 29, Dr. Reitz went through the various awards again. There were 40 students who earned awards and scholarships in differ- ent athletic and academic areas. Two students, Mike Kostiuk and Tim Trotter received two appoint- ments each to Miltary acade- mies. Mike Kostiuk, one of the tri-valedic- torians, presents his speech to the audience. He has an appointment to the The time had come for the four students at the top of the class to say a few final words to their class. Lisa Lampinen was the Sa- lutatorian, with a final grade point average of 3.99. Terri Grzy- bowski, Mike Kostiuk, and Pat Manson were tri-valedictorians, each with a perfect grade point average of 4.0. Mr. Beebe then presented the Senior class. He talked about various characteristics of the class. He also reminisced about what they were like as freshmen, and how they changed over the four years. Mr. Beebe said, They were the lst class that didn't feel like they had to van- dalize and destroy school proper- ty, they went out with a lot of pride in their class, and with many outstanding awards and achievements-like the three vale- dictorians. Finally, the climax of the cere- mony had arrived, the presenta- tion of diplomas. This was done with the help of Mr. Richard Moosman and Ms. Jeanne Col- lins, and four members of the board of education. This was topped off with a back flip off of the stage, by Pat Manson. Man- son ended the ceremony with the Benediction. He then gave the cue for caps to be thrown in to the air. Afterwards, everyone left the field and went their own ways to celebrate. They went home to let the idea soak in that soon the faces of their friends and the halls of Central would be nothing more than memories. Finally the day that had been so long awaited was practically over.

And not just to cheer but to stomp, to clap and to shout about. And through this din, the ref's whis- tle, the bat,s crack, the raquette's swoosh and the clock's buzzer were the most exciting parts of Trojan sports. If it wasn't enough for Life to have emerged everywhere in school in 85-86, it was here, too, decked out proudly in the green and gold uniforms of the 17 competing teams of Troy at every game, every match and every meet. It slipped out of uniform and scrambled to the crowd to fan its fervor at every chance. Life held its breath at every free throw, sighed its disap- pointment at close defeats and shouted its tri- umph at every broken personal, school and state record. In a year that took Central well into the shady side of 30, the 748 Trojan athletes and their fans dribbled, dunked and volleyed the school's Life into its prime. In an age of mature athletes reaching career zeniths, Life had come home to stay. 0 P 0 0 R o o Sports Division 53 Soccer is the new American sport that requires balance, agility and speed.

The season got off to a bad start with a string of losses from both teams. The Junior Varsity team, coached by Mr. Conqle, started out with a game against Northglenn in which they lost 3-0. That was followed by losses to Cherry Creek, Arapahoe, and Regis. The FreshmanlSophomore team coached by John Yur- chak, began the season against Overland, losing 2-4. That was also followed by losses against Cherry Creek and Regis as well. Kyler Whit- taker said, lt was hard play- ing against schools that had players so much bigger than us. Although they had a difficult season, their goals were sim- plep to get the Junior Varsity players ready for Varsity and the FreshmanlSophomore players' skills improved. The highlight of the Junior Varsity season was their game against Rangeview. Central was behind three points. Tro- jans came up from behind and tied up the game, 3-3, but lost 5-3.

Looking over their re- cord, there were five games that they lost by one point margins. Out of those five games, Smoky Hill was prob- ably the game that stands out in the teams minds. Yurchak explained, lt all happened so fast. With just two minutes left in the game we were winning 2-1. They scored with one minute left, sending the game into over- time. Thirty seconds into overtime, they scored again. ln just three minutes, two mistakes, we had a vic- tory taken from us. Despite their grim five win, eight loss, three tie re- cord, the varsity soccer team was very successful in other aspects of the game. They outshot their oppo- nents in the majority of their games, Kevin Motto and Bill Knox were among the Cen- tennial League big scorers, and they achieved a superi- or level of team work. Some players on the team couldn't play the posi- tion they wanted, they played where the team needed them most. Pat Manson and Kevin Motto were two examples of this. instead of playing on the front line, this year they played at midfield posi- tions. They did this because that is where the team needed them most. We had a real team this year, commented third year letterman Derek Yeager, it wasn't seniors on one side, juniors on the other. We were a true group this year, and it made it fun. Trying to sum up the year was easy for VanGyten- beek, ln some respects this has been one of the most enjoyable seasons l've had, because of the class of the playersl - Kay Masters Varsity Boys' Soccer 57 F5 f, Sf In E 5. 1 I 4 I 1 N ar E ai Q ik ff F5 r fs If 'Z i if Sophomore quarterback Travis Way gets ready to throw a pass while his teammate blocks a Regis player.

It took 15 3 a lot of deter- 12 19 mination and 6 30 devotion to make a good football team. Sophomore Brian Mclfleynolds said, I feel we had a good team until we started to lose, everyone start- ed coming down on each oth- er and we lost all confidence. Sophomore John Doyle said, I feel we were a team that pulled together, we had great running backs and a very strong defense. Sophomore Kevin Blackwell said, We were from fair to good. Other sophomores such as David Hodges and Brant Verbrugge said, We were fair, the only hold back is we needed more people. lt was hard to win a game when almost half of the team was ineligible. That was the hardest thing the sophomores had to deal with. lt is hard to start a good game when half of the first string starters couldn't play. The elegible players were forced to acco- modate. Verbrugge said, I feel that it pulled the team closer. Doyle said, lt caused a lot of problems, we had to use a lot of second string play- ers because most of the first string players were ineligible. Perhaps setting goals at the beginning of the season could help a person play a little bet- ter. After all winning five out of nine games wasn't that bad. Sophomore Mike Williams said his goals were to beat every- one but especially the teams we lost to last year. Unlike sophomores, the freshman were 2 and 6 for the season. Freshman and tight- end Chad Lawrence said, As a team I feel we played very well most of the year. Law- rence's goals for the season were to win as many games and play like the first one. The goals the coach had for the team were to win as many games as possible but most importantly for the them to learn basic football, how block, tackle, etc I feel they have learned a lot. The highlight of the season was the victory over Hinkley. They returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and interceped a pass, ran back for another touchdown, and stopped a late drive which gave them the victory over Hinkley 19-16. - Chris Cooper Freshman!Sophomore Football 59 Kickerl0uarterback Marion Dinwiddie, a senior, kicks off the firsf ball of the season to the Boulder Panthers.

By the second meet, the fu- ture of both the boys' and girls' teams began looking bright. They had already reached one goal, the girls placed fourth and the boys third in the City meet. And there was still plenty of time for improvement. As the season continued, in- dividuals set out to reach their goals along with the teams'. By the last two meets before league every runner had im- proved immensely. The girls team came in second in both these meets and the boys' team third and second. With league the next week, both teams were within reach of their goals. Finally, the-day came that the teamshad been working so hard for, the league meet. The girls' team had a chance of placing third and going to state. These thoughts were on each runners mind as they got their last stretches and warm- ups in. The girls' race was ready to begin. The starter gave his commands, the gun was fired. The times for the race were good, with many of them per- sonal records for the girls. But somewhat disappointedly they took fourth, At first we were a little upset, then we realized that each of us had our best race of the season which was our main goal in this meet, said Junior Heidi Baker. Although the girls wouldn't be going to state, both they and the boys had reached their goal set at the beginning of the season, girls fourth, boys fifth. Senior Jim Tanner who fin- ished in the top ten in every race led the boys' team. He won the Aurora City Cham- pionship and placed third at league giving him a berth in the state meet. Tanner fin- ished seventh in State earning a spot on the All State Team. Two seniors from the girls' team, Terri Grzybowski and Rhonda Sumpter had notable seasons. Grzybowski led the girls' team and finished a re- spectable seventh at league. Sumpter, a rookie, topped her season off by winning the girls' B race at league. An enormous amount of fun and excitement was packed into the season. Individuals worked together to build a competitive team gaining many benefits. Two of these being the sense of belonging and friendships. An impor- tant part of our team was the close friendships we shared. said Sophomore Dixie Kha- dem-Ghaeini. Whether it was going out for pizza or meeting at someone's house for mov- ies, we were always together as a team. For the cross-country team, they had a season of chal- lenges but also a season of accomplishments. - Linda Young Cross Country Senior Ron Harnish returns a low volley ol a fellow member of the team that, for the first time in many years, qualified players for state.

The freshmen team had a number of talented people turn out for the team. Coach Lang said this about the team, All they need to improve overall is set- ting and passing the ball. Most of the team members said that Leslie Weed was the most valuable player because of her leadership ability. The girls' hardest game was against Ftangeview because of the stiff competition from the newly appointed 4A competi- tor. The sophomore team was coached by Patty Wesley.

This was the year volleyball would make it to the state playoffs. At the beginning their hopes were high, but in perspec- tive. Their philosophy: do the best and accomplish what they could. Throughout the season, unity and attitude were top priority for the 14 girls..Uni- ty came when they prac- ticed and played games, but they also developed unity away from the volley- ball scene. We worked as a team on and off the court, said Senior Jody Michaels. They went out to dinners and had slumber parties. Toward the end of the season, they went to Glenwood Springs for the weekend. The teamwork was espe- cially shown in the game against Overland. lt was the best game we played, we gave them a run for their money! said Coach Lehto. l.ehto's perspective changed since last season. She wanted the team to be ef- ficient as well as just working together as a team. She raised the level of intensity. Among many improvements which al- lowed Coach Lehto to lead the team to a good season was the Tom Landry attitude , keeping her reaction, good or bad, to a low profile.

This year the Freshman and Sophomore girls Basketball teams learned that lesson again. On the Freshman team, they had a 1-13 season with their only win against Cherry Creek. The Creek game was one of Coach Lori Braa's fa- vorites, not only because they won 19-18, but because the girls played exceptionally well. During the last four seconds of the game, said Braa, Dana Cavener drlbbled the ball to halfcourt and threw the ball toward the hoop. When the ball went in, the buzzer rang. Coach Braa said that the team played better at defense, and she credited that to the teaching of the basic skills at the beginning of the season. The Sophomore team had a 3-10 season highlight against Heritage which they won 45 to 31. Coach Eric Chin said that he thought it was because they came together the way they should. The only real problem with the team this year was that they didn't feel they were good enough, said Chin. Sophomore, Cheryl Selinsky, said we had a lot more unity towards the end ofthe season, and l think we had a better attitude.

Both Coach Taylors said, We started to get our system across. The players knew more what we were ex- pecting of them this year. They worked hard and did ex- actly what we asked them. The J.V. season proved more successful than their eight and ten record showed. Coach Sandy Taylor said, We struggled a bit, but we learned a lot about being a team and improved on individ- ual skills. We all ended up win- ners because we were able to become a real team. The one quality that the J.V. had which helped them considerably was their height. The team was able to run a slower paced game with more patience. The varsity team lacked height with their tallest player being only five feet nine inches. The key to their nine and nine record and fifth place finish in the league was their running game, fast break, and pressure defense. Coach Larry Taylor said, We were known as a scrappy team. Whoever we played knew they would be in for a real battle. The team averaged 44 points per game which was fourth in the league. The upper level basketball program had three swing play- ers who got equal playing time on both teams. Junior Penny Unteidt said, lt was really hard because we had to learn both team's plays, and at times we didn't feel a part of either team. Seniors Jennifer Palmes, Karen Henry, and Liane Gould were captains for the varsity team. Senior Gena Williams was top scorer and rebounder. Karen Henry tied for second in the league with 41 steals.

The freshmen began the season with approximately fifteen players but eventually ended with only nine. ineligibility and low morale were the two major reasons for the dropouts. Mo- rale dropped to an all-time low after the teams 13-15 loss to Mullen. Instead of folding up and quitting, the freshmen practiced hard and in their next game Hinkley had a 30- 29 loss. In the teams last game of the season, the freshman defense held but their offense wasn't enough in a tough 26- 24 loss to a strong Cherry Creek team. Like the freshmen, the sophomores managed to win only three of their fifteen games. Also, like the fresh- men, ineligibility and bad atti- tudes were the major reasons behind the teams lack of suc- cess. We could have had a great season, it's just that most of us had a bad outlook on our games, said sopho- more Flick Krijvansky. By the time the playoffs rolled around for the sophomores, there were only eight players left to battle Littleton and Fairview. Even though the Trojans were outmanned, they managed to pull out a two point win over the Knights. Nevertheless, the sophomores lost their last two games gainst league rivals Littleton and Mullen. Terms such as dedication, effort, success, are all com- mon in sports of all levels. The two underclassmen boys bas- ketball teams struggled and weren't always successful. They proved that a little luck and skill is also needed for a successful SBHSOFI. - Chris Cooper Fresh!Soph Boys' Basketball 8 Success Senior center, Marty Dow rebutes a bad call at the sub districts finals at Littleton. He later went on to foul out of the game. Extreme dedcofion mistaken for insanity boys basketball dsployed that comes from work What did it take to practice five to six days a week, two to four hours at a time? So me would say a lack of sanity or a love of pain: but to the boys on the Junior Varsity and Var- sity basketball teams they maintained this rigorous prac- tice schedule for four months out of a sense of desire and dedication. These were two qualities one might choose to describe the '85-86 basketball teams. Fundamentals and consis- tency were stressed at the many hours of practice the players enduredg taking time out between drills to shoot free throws, or to play 'twenty-one' against a teamate. This tech- nique obviously worked with both teams. The Varsity ended with a 1-0-3 record in regular Centennial League play, and a 16-6 record over all. The Ju- nior Varsity ended with a 7-7 record in Centennial League contests, and a 8-10 record over the entire season. ln both teams' cases pre-planned plays, both offensively and de- fensively, were stressed in practices and executed in games. These plays usually emphasized both teams' abundance of speed. With the speed of such play- ers on Varsity as senior Der- rick Washington, senior Mike Thompson, and iunior Jay Boys Basketball Barnes, just to name a few, it was only logical to monopolize on speed plays. We've de- signed plays to take advan- tage of our great speed this year, as well as our height, said Head Coach Byron Brookhart. Height was a valuable asset this year, with the outstanding talents of seniors Darrell Ricks and Marty Dow. The J,V. team didn't really have any outstanding height, but they did have a well- rounded team with talent and a lot of dedication. Under the leadership of Coach Gene Yahn, and captains James Schafer and Gary Brewer, the J.V. team displayed a lot of desire to win. A game when this was most evident was in the Aurora Pub- lic Schools Tournament, in the consulation game against Hinkley. Central fought back and scored fifteen points in the fourth quarter, still came up one point short at the final buzzer. Although the score- board did not reflect it, they showed as much determina- tion in this game as they did in later games, where they came out on top. Even in the shadow of a loss to Hinkley, who they came back to beat in regular season play by twenty-eight points, their determination was appar- ent through- out. Their loss in theis game is an example of their entire season, never quitting de- spite the score. M a n y would say it was crazy to physically as well as men- tally punish themselves like this for a game. But to this group of guys, for four months, it wasn't crazy, it was a way of life. - Kay Masters Boys Varsity Basketball Won: 16 Lost: 6 Thorton Bangeview Hinkley Northglenn Poudre Hinkley Boulder Fairview Arapahoe Smoky Hill Cherry Creek Fiangeview Gateway Mullen Begis Overland Heritage Littleton Boulder Littleton Mullen Widefield An enthusiastic Senior Miko Thompson celebrates as Central ties up the score against the Lions in the Sub-district play- offs.

Each wrestler was working for both personal win and the points to help the team win. For the J.V. and varsity wres- tling teams to reach the achievements of victory they had to be strong both phys- ically and mentally, which took time, effort and sacrifice. When the season rolled around in November, most of the wrestlers had a head start. They ran and lifted before the season so that they could start working on tactics immediate- ly instead of worrying about conditioning. Practice consist- ed of a lot of drills, calethstin- ics, and weight loss. It was naturally every place you turned there was the tempta- tion of others eating or at home the frig. The wrestlers had to work for individual wins rather than winning as a team since their numbers were low. They end- ed up having to forfeit in many weight classes which cost them wins they might other- wise have won. That dldn't stop them though. They came in fifth at the Centennial league meet which Coach Gussie said, was a big feat for such a small team. The varsity team came through a reputable season. They ended with a record of nine and four, placing fourth in the Centennial League stand- ings and coming in fifth in the District meet. At the beginning of the season, the wrestlers set a goal to beat the eight teams they had lost to in the previous season. Their first dual meet, against Arapahoe, got the team hyped for thr rest of the season and their record of losing only a few close dual meets. Another exciting meet was the Gateway Invitational.

The guys showed me something I haven't seen in many teams. They always found a way to wing they never let me down. This unitedness was what many of the guys thought pulled them through the season. When an individ- ual won, the team won, so everybody's hard work payed off in some way or another. Senior Matt Steele said, We might not have been state champs but we had the heart and guts to be one of the best teams Central has had in a few years. ' ' - Linda Young Wrestling: Front Row: N.

The starter yelled, On your mark, the gun was fired. Both the race and the girl's track season were off with a bang.

This season we had the best overall scoring that we've ever had, which came from the balance of the team, said Coach Hesser. Since the team was relative- ly young, they were often un- derestimated.

The will to win took the team through a successful year. They were able to bring the third place trophy home from the Aurora Relays in which over twenty teams competed. ln the district meet the team ran well and placed fourth with six individuals finishing in the top three and going to state. Senior Terri Grzybowski swept the 1600m and 800m, then went on and became the state champion in the 800m. At the state meet Grzybowski also set a new school record with a time of 2:t8.17. Sophomore Nicole Roberts who placed third at districts in the discus went to state but did not place. Freshman Dana Ca- vender took third in districts and seventh in state in both the 100m and 200m dashes. Plus Cavender anchored the 400m relay team along with Senior Rhonda Sumpter, Freshman Veronica Russel, and Sophomore Tammy Gus- tafson. The relay team finished fifth in districts and seventh in state. The sprint medley team did extremely well too. The team consisted of Sumpter, Gustafson, Cavender, and Freshman Trina Edmund, and finished second and third re- spectively. Senior Terri Grzybowski said, We really stuck togeth- er when we needed to. The team members were all willing to give whatever it took. Be- cause of this attitude the team finished with an outstanding season and reached their goal F 'K of improving standing. At the end of the season they crossed the finish line in a good posi- tion.

The team was named Aurora Team of The Yeat and Green received the Coach of the Year distinction. State victory is a fitting finale for a il Dream come true ','This was like a dream, said Omar Whitfield. I never thought we'd get this far. Neither did anyone else. But the boys track team did in- deed come away from the Jef- ferson County Stadium on May 17 with the State Cham- pionship trophy. That was a fitting finale to a dream season. But it should not have been a surprise to anyone. It was all part of a plan sketched by head coach John Green. At the start of the season me and the assistant coaches sat down and figured out how many points we could expect in each event. We had all the ingrediants neces- sary, there was every reason to believe that we could take state, explained Green. With the national record pole vaulter Pat Manson, pre- relay team, and a host of var- iou top rate sprinters, hurdlers, and long jumpers, Green care- fully mapped out plans that seemed sure to fall in place. From the start the team showed that they were des- tined for greatness. They con- sistently won meets against Centennial League rivals. In fact, their only major defeats. came in the Aurora Relays, Ti- ger Invitational, and Liberty Bell, where they placed sec- ond to Montbello's first vious state qualifying sprinter 1, ,, WW if -wtf. f in .til2rggrgr.r r M ' as ,,,, - fri rf. .V ...: , .

Dreom come true 90 We were pretty confident that we could beat any team in the Centinneal league, but Montbello was a different sto- ry, said senior sprinter Derick Washington. No matter what they tried they could not beat Montbello. Instead of resign- ing to a second place spot the team worked even harder. We had many kids who in- vested a lot of hard work in the program ,that's why the championship was so satisfy- ing, explained Coach Green. The key to the teams suc- cess, besides hard work, was the contribution of all the team members. Everyone had a hand in our success, it was definitely a team effort, said Pat Manson. That help came from Jim Tanner, school re- cord holder in the 3200 meter run, the 800 relay team of Ju- niors Delmar Taylor and Eric Toliver, and Seniors Derrick Washington and Adrian Cut- ler, from polevaulter Matt Utesch, who was consistent throughout the season, and one of the two state qualifiers in the vault.

This was a fact soon realized by all underclassmen competing in school organized sports, where the basics tend to be stressed the most. Freshman and sophomore baseball were both prime examples of long hours for small rewards. Freshman baseball, as usu- al, had the smallest schedule of all the baseball teams. What wasn't so usual, though, was the fact that they won half of their games, 2 this left the underclassman teams without leader and team unity making it difficult to play, and therefore win as a team. Fortunately for the freshmen team, the varsity and JV teams were adequate- ly supplied with good players and any needed players were brought up from the sopho- more team. The teams' unity showed in their first game when they came from behind to defeat cross-town rival Hinkley 12-10.

We never got on track as a team. We didn't work together at times, and when we fell be- hind, we lost faith and stopped trying. We really did try, but we just couldn't put everything all together. said Sophomore Aaron King. Regardless of the teams' final record, spirits were high on the team. All the players realized that, eventual- ly, they were going to be the varsity team and that the ex- perienced gained during the '86 season could only help them. Experience and refining were the basic reasons for un- derclassmen sports. In terms of victories achieved, it was a bad year for the underclass- men. ln terms of experience, it was a banner year. Both teams learned to deal with ad- versity and realized what it took to become a winning teamg hard work and team work. -C. Cooper And C.

The boys of summer, or in this case spring, finally came through for the Aurora Central Trojans. The varsity boys' baseball team pulled out a 10- 6 record during the '86 sea- son, the first winning season for baseball in over four years. Unlike most other school sports, Varsity, baseball was expected to perform well and possibly even advance to the playoffs. Followers of the team weren't disappointed. The Trojans started out fast by go- ing undefated in their first four games. By midway through the season, they were first in the Centennial league, a feat not even the players expect- ed. One of the major reasons behind the teams early suc- cess was its unique blend of experience and enthusiasm. The core of the team were seniors Tom Lord, Rich Sut- ton, Randy Deal, Ed Zinter and sophomore Aron Bennett. The seniors had the advantage of playing together for four years, the underclassmen for only two or three years. Hitting and fielding played a major role in the teams first victories. The mighty Trojans hit six home runs in their first five games while holding their opponents to only four runs per game. But for a baseball team to be really good, outstanding pitching is required. While the team was not without quality pitches it was without a lot of good pitchers. Ed Zinter was 96 J.V.!Varsity Baseball the teams starting pitcher and was backed up by only two other full time pitchersg Junior Chris Denman and Senior Steve Hundley. Due to this lack of pitchers,, the rotation was very small, making for a short rest period for the pitch- ers between games. As the season progressed, the strain of pitching so many games be- gan to take its toll on the pitchers. ln a matter of two weeks, the team went from first to sixth place by going winless in those two weeks. A disap- pointing one point loss to Boulder capped off the losing streak. Boulder was one of the few times during that losing streak that the Trojans actual- ly held a lead. In that two week span, the teams opponents jumped out to big leads in the opening innings, and they were forced to play hard to catch up. The Trojans just fell short of the playoffs when they blew a two point lead to the heritage Eagles in the seventh inning. Despite not making the play- offs the team wasn't too dis- appointed. I thought we had a good season and every year had more ups than downs. said Head Coach Tony Van- Gytenbeek. Overall, the sea- son provided some unique memories.

High expectations were set for the varsity team at the be- ginning of the season. The ex- perience in the line-up, power of the younger players, and the inspiration of the seniors provided a well-balanced team with no star player. This was not enough though. ln the opening game against arch rival, Overland, the team played a tight defense with a fast counter attack to come out at half- time in a scoreless games against Heritage and Cherry Creek. Coach Bill Chambers said, We didn't have the offensive punch we needed. Defensively we played well against the better teams. We were aggressive, and the whole team played with a lot of hustle on defense. We gave all the teams good matches. Impressive play against teams such as Gateway and Boulder still was not enough though. It came down to the team having to win its last three league games. Once again the team was handed disappointing losses, this time by Smoky Hill and Littleton which knocked them out of the play-offs. The season end- Coach Chambers also gave them recognition for their dedication to the team. Senior Carolee Bottoms was named first team all league. Also three players were named second team all league. They were Seniors Merena Finnin, Jenni- fer Palmes, and junior Kristen Yeager. There was also the JV team whose record certainly did not reflect their efforts. Despite them ending up O-13-1 Coach Karel Smith said, lt was an excellent season for the JV team, as most of the girls were freshmen who had never played before. There was a lot of improvement from the be- ginning of the season to the end. The team was tougher game.

The efforts have been good. said Coach Gussie. When they didn't practice, they played a game. Everyone was excited and ready for playtime. I always gave my best, said 2-year player varsity Heath Yee. Dur- ing gametime, hustle and pride were displayed throughout the entire season, games and practices. This dedication was shown even in games against other teams where Lacrosse is almost professional, and has been for years. Littleton and Englewood even called and congratulated us on our hus- tle! said Jerry Gussie proudly and with a smile. Guts was the name of the game for the players . Junior Bob Schlagel played in a game against Arapahoe, bruised his ribs, sprained his ankle, and fractured his finger, but was only too happy to play in the game the next day. I got in some good hits and am ready to play in tomorrow's, he said. Throughout the entire season, blood, sweat, and tears didn't always win the games, but experience did have a big factor in the end. And because Central had less experience than most of the teams they played, the wins didn't add up. Even though they had a 2 - 9 record, they never once gave up and con- tinuously gave their all. Dave Pursley was the highest scorer on the team and others contri- buted to the scoring for Auro- ra Central: George VerBrugge and Doug Buddington. Sopho- more Brandt VerBrugge and Senior Phil Gisi were assertive in the backfield, and, unspo- ken goalie, Dave Porter, who had a good season. lt was a kick, said Porter. Together, these players, with other Freshman, Juniors, and Sen- iors made up the J.V. and Var- sity who had all guts, but re- ceived little glory. If anything at all was achieved during the entire La- crosse season, the team did try their best, but as all good things, it came to an end. All of the team effort and team- work, which earned them re- spect, will stay with each play- er for years to come. - Angel Gould Lacrosse 101 ww g , V A ., I-'V ,' ki ' A Q 'xg' Ny., -D-rc :tv Qi.

It takes unbelievable work, effort and desire to become the bestg to become a champion. True, champions come few and far between. It is this fact that made the athletic season so memorable. Not one, not two, but three athletes emerged as the best at what they did. Swimmer Mike Ebuna was the first to gain attention. Only a sophomore, Ebuna capped off his swim season by placing second at stateg losing only twice to seniors. In fact, ofthe top five finishers at state, only one was not a senior, Mike Ebuna. This success was not achieved without hard work. Beginning at the age of six, Ebuna began swimming with his parents recreationally. I never thought about competi- tive swimming until l started to spend more time in the water than I did out of it, said Ebuna. I just really got into swimming and suddenly I was winning all the meets I swam in. Despite his natural ability, Ebuna continued to push him- self and attempt to improve. While most students spend the summer of '85 basking in the sun, Ebuna was living in Crip- ple Creek Colorado away from his family training. Mike is just naturally a good swim- mer, said his coach Sam Hewson. Most students who know they're good tend to slack off a little when it comes Centrals Best In Sports to practice, but Mike just con- tinually works hard to make himself not only a better athe- lete and swimmer, but a better student as well. This effort to make himself a better swim- mer showed in his practices. Seven days a week for six to eight hours a day during the summer, Mike practiced swim- ming at the Aurora Aquatic Academy. Unlike Ebuna, Jim Tanner didn't receive special attention for his efforts as a freshman. He received very little as a sophomore and junior. But, showing the true colors of a champion, Tanner did not lose faith in himself. Like Ebuna, Tanner began running at an early age. To be really good, Tanner trained year-round. Eating a special diet and exer- cising up to four hours a day, Tanner kept in shape physical- ly, and remained mentally pre- pared to run. Running is a lot of mental work, said Tanner. You have to concentrate on your goal and nothing else. After a while, you just learn how to block out the pain. Concentration worked. During cross-country season, Tanner consistently placed in the top three in every event. Tanner also had a legitimate shot at placing well in the state meet. lt ou told me when Jim Y was a freshman, that he would place seventh in state and win the city meets when he was a senior, I would've told you that you were crazy, said Tan- , 517' l l l l l l Pat Manson inspects his pole before jumping over 17 feet to claim the state title.

As a freshman, Jim used to just hammer through races, but in his sophomore year we sat down and talked and set goals. By his senior year Tan- ner was breezing through his cross-country and track meets. Tanner qualified for state by edging out Tim Oaks of Overland at districts. Tan- ner took an early lead in the race and many, including his coaches, wondered if he could keep up the horrendous pace he had set. At state, Tanner placed seventh, an incredible feat for someone who just bar- ely finished his freshman track season. Tanner also partici- pated in national competitions at Florida, Wyoming and Mon- tana, and California. He placed no lower than tenth in all those meets. Tanner wasn't showered with praise like oth- er successful athletes usually are. He wasn't very fast, but he liked to run. By running up to ten miles a day during the season and five miles during the off season, Tanner be- came a champion. Jim is a prime example of what a per- son can do when they put their mind to it and work hard enough, said Rogers. Pat Manson was, without a doubt, the most famous of the three. While Tanner and Ebuna both began their ca- reers at an early age, Manson began his during his freshman year. Originally, Manson be- gan track as a long jumper, but after watching the pole vaulters, he figured it might be fun to give pole vaulting a try. Manson enjoyed vaulting so much that he decided to be- come a pole vaulter. Manson's first taste of success came during his junior year. He was favored to go to state and place at least in the top three. Unfortunately. after waiving his first two attempts, Manson failed to clear the bar on his first and last try. I was really dissapionted at first but we knew we would have a much better chance at state in 1986 said Manson. The pre- dictions were right. While the team breezed through its meets, Manson was busy breaking school, state and even national records. One by one, the records fell with a thud as Manson continued to raise the pole. The national re- cord fell to Manson almost halfway through the track sea- son. Clearing the bar at an amazing 17'3M1 Manson be- came the new- holder of the national indoor pole vaulting record. Manson raised the bar to a point where he was able to attempt a shot at the na- tional outdoor record. Manson had a chance to break the re- cord at the state meet but had to forego his attempt to run in the 4x10O relay, which took first and set a state record. Manson also long jumped and almost defeated the defending state champion. Brightons Ke- vin Cleary took three jumps to Mansons one and just beat Manson by M1 inch. In all, Man- son scored 36 points by him- self at stateg enough points to place the team fourth. Man- sons excellence and drive to be the best continued off the field as well. He finished high school with a 4.0 average, and the class' valedictorian. Pat can do just about anything if he wants to and really puts his mind to it, said coach John Green. He's just the kind of person you meet on the street and remember for a long time. He is the true example of the All-American kid. Pat Manson, Jim Tanner, and Mike Ebuna were all ex- amples of the students and atheletes at Central. At the fi- nal pep rally held in honor of the State Championship track team, Mr. Hewson addressed an enthusiastic crowd by say- ing, You guys have so much to be proud of! And, after a good look, the students soon realized that, yes, there was a lot to be proud of. -Chris Gallegos Centrals Best In Sports 103 Student government, CentraI's largest club, sponsors two an- nual blood drives and encourages students to give.

'rying for that All-American feeling Lnagine yourself at a high school game, any game involving ltral. Then imagine yourself being swept up in a green wave, ng and cheering and having a good time. Who you ask, are lhese people in this sea of green acting half crazed? The wer is simple, they're Central's Lettermen. he club was started because of the great interest in leader- m. l think that some ofthe school's best leadership is found ie athletes, said Sam Hewson, the club sponsor. The main bose of the club was to interact with any school activity, to unite the athletes to pull together any plan. ven though the club was new, lt had 90 members. The e officers were Seniors Chris Woody Widhalm, presi- t, Terri Grzybowski, president, and Casey Sondgeroth, surer. The club met once a month to plan cheers and spirit sters for upcoming games. he leadership qualities of this group were seen when they the crowd in cheering at various sporting events. For exam- during a much publicized game against Smoky Hill on uary 24, they did cheers such as the Hewson Drag , and ' also did a wave which started with the Lettermen's club ended with the band, and then returned. The Hewson spelled out the word Central, and had a drum prologue re each letter. e game on January 24 was followed by a dance. lt was the .fflg 0 it E f ate ' fm f 1 ff it first Lettermens dance of the year, but it wasnot as successful as the club had hoped. There were only about 50 people who came, but they were all shown dance styles of the 50's by Hewson. lt seemed like everyone had fun, but it's going to take a while for the dances to catch on, said Sondgeroth. The purpose of the dances was to get the All-American feeling - going to a game and then to the dance. One dollar admission was charged, at the dances and this was the only type of fundraising that the club did. After listening to your grandparents talk about what they did while they were in high school, dldn't you ever wonder what it was really like? In the spring, they were plans for classes to be let out early one day for sixth and seventh hours, for the Spring Fling . The day would have started with a beach party at the pool, and a pig roast. Throughout the day, there were also supposed to be booths set up by different clubs, class competitions, and relay races. The day was cancelled, howev- er, because of various reasons. So the next time you're at a Central sporting event, remem- ber that the cheers yelled were probably led by the Lettermens club. Remember this the next time you end up in the middle of a green sea of rowdie fans, screaming the Hewson Drag , and sweeping you up in a green wave. - By Jennifer Peterson There were four girls to quality for the State Swimming Meet at the Air Force Academy.

These clubs brought together people who were interested in basketball whether they played or not. lt gives the one's who don't play a feeling that they belong, says Sponsor Larry Taylor. Joining the clubs was a great way to meet people interested in the same sport and allowed many activities of mutual ideas to be shared. Bringing togeth- er the different types of people involved in the club for enter- tainment and achievement and being part of the school was the purpose of these clubs. The Girl's Basketball Club was constantly raising money for the many activities the members of the club enjoyed. Fund raising involved juggling ideas of what could be sold, for example, a bake sale of brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and other baked goods. Another idea was selling World's Finest Chocolate Bars and Chocolate Santas during the Christmas season, which raised a lot of money.

M AX, k is Two clubs go from third base to home This year there were two clubs who supported two related sports, Softball and Baseball. One club, the Baseball club, got off to a much earlier start than last year, while the Softball club got off to a late start at the beginning of the semester. There were a lot of things different this year from last year in the Baseball club, according to sponsor, Barb Mattes. Since we got started a lot earlier, we got one of our big money making projects out of the way first semester, said Mattes. The club was more of a year round club this year. Baseball club got more involved in other sports this in other sports this year as well. One of their fundraisers was a basket- ball shoot-out. With the proceeds they planned to go to a Nuggets Game in March. Mattes also said they would be going to some of the school games that don't get a big turn out like freshmen and Sophomore games. More involved members is what really made the club what it was. The officers were seniors, Randy Deal, President, Ed Zinter, Vice-President, Rich Sutton, Treasurer, and Fresh- l l men, Michelle Ahnstedt and Kel Ferguson, Activity Director ln addition to Ahnstedt and Ferguson, there were otha Freshmen who brought in over ninety-five dollars in their firs fundraiser. This fundraiser was a baseball bat-a-thon in whicl some people brought in over 120 dollars. l The softball club started at the beginning of the seconl semester because of problems with a coach. They found z father of one of the members, Jim Pasquarelio, who gracious ly agreed to coach. According to the sponsor, Nadine Heiss they had a good turn out at their first meeting. They had a ld of freshmen there and she hoped that they would stat through the rest of the year and play in the Womens Softba1 Association. 1 The Baseball and Softball clubs had a better year this yea than last in many different ways and it really shows in wha they did. 1 - Corey Heal iii . 1 4' J, ...,, it - Senior Rich Sutton stands up after reaching first base against Hinkley.

The swim club, volleyball club and fitness club provided this and a little bit more to their members. Each club was also open to students that were not athletes in the sport the clubs represented. The swim club was a busy group. We've become more active and are organizing more meets than last year, said sponsor Don Doyle. The clubs organized and ran the Trojan Invitations and the Aurora City Championships for both boys and girls swim teams. Even though the boys city meet was held at Flangeview, Doyle said, Our swim club was asked to run the meet since we're the best at it. ln March they ran the Aurora invitational Masters, a swim meet for people over 20. And in April the region eight Special Olympics swim meet was put on by the club. Other activities the club was involved in was the Muscular Distrophy meet under the direction of Water Poker in late August. The swimmers helped by taking cards down to the players. Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunch was a time for the volleyball enthusiasts of the school to get together and play. The volleyball club allowed the members, without being com- petitive, to bump and hit the ball around. Most members joined the club to have fun and not have to worry about fund raisers.

The fitness club got off to a good start as a new club. The club was organized, said sponsor Mike Rogers to help promote fitness within the school. To make this possible, the club worked at local road races and during the off season to even run in a few. To start 1986 off they formed a milage. club in which T-shirts were awarded for running 250 and 500' miles. The members participated in their own run-a-thon as al fund raiser. They also sponsored a road race in May. For fun they cross country skiied and had some parties. The club wasl very successful in raising money in their first year of exis-l tence. Flogers said, The money we make will be used to defray the cost of cross country camp for members in early August. l Each club was unique it its own way. Though they also had likenessess. Senior Kay Staadt, president of the swim club said, We're kind of like a big family, we're a bunch of kids who enjoy the same things and think the same ways. Stu-, dents from all three clubs had similar feelings. The clubsl offered fun and friendship through athletic activities whilei benefiting their own sport whether by having well organized' meets, practicing and improving volleyball skills, or raising money to go to a running camp. -Linda Young Swim Club: Front Row: James Wilson, Gregory Naff, Kevin Stanley, Audrey Heitkamp, Lara Breitler, Sean Bullock, Erich Weber, Troy Heath, Dyke Sampson, Corey Head, Holly Bernstein, Kelly Ferguson: Second Row: Julene Heckel, Felicia Koimn, Tina Saunders, Kane McNiel, Pete Burr, Tonya Sheer, Mike Sanders, John Matzakos, Loraine Kandt, Cori Alcock, Kelly Whellan, Roger Baker, Michael Ebuna, Mike Dukhart, David Zunich, Robert Bjork, Jon Feigitsch, Joel Jaquartg Back Flow: Hugh Flemming, Jeff Harmes, Kay Staadt, Shannon Morrison, Jeff Laften, Casey Sondergroth, Heidi Brown, Liz Burr, Cliff Rector, Kimo Staadt, Misty Johnson, Kirk Johnson, Steve Anderson, Michelle Ahnstedt.

Hitting the slopes with a Central club With a new sponsor, new season, and a bigger turnout, the Winter Sports Club was off to an excellent start. Members from ski clubs in all four Aurora High Schools, met at Gate- way for the eleven scheduled trips which left at 6:45 a.m. on two chartered buses which cost 11 to 12 dollars. Marla Griggs said she sponsored the Winter Sports Club, because I like to ski, l'm just a powderhoundf' She even enjoyed skiing this year even though there wasn't much snow. Sopho- more Linda Young said, the club was so much fun because it gave you an opportunity to ski with your friends, meet new people and get good discount prices. During the second ski trip of the year which was to Arapa- hoe Basin, many of the club members witnessed the near fatal accident at Keystone in which a chair lift was thrown from the cable. Luckily no one from any of the four schools were injured or hurt in any way. Although the Winter Sports Club functions were too expen- sive to be paid by ordinary fund raisers, the group did occa- sionally run the concession stand. lt's really not worth it to do fundraisers because of the cost of our trips, said Griggs. The trip to Vail over semester break had a very successful turnout. Skier Linda Young said, Half the fun was the bus ride on the way home, people playing their radio, then there were singing contests, and a joke telling time. The buses were sometimes parked close enough for the students to take a break from skiing and sit on the bus for awhile. The trip was taken on a weekday so the resort really wasn't too crowded. When they first arrived the weather was wonderful, warm enough to ski without a jacket. A few students from another school were injured and the bus trip home was delayed a few hours. In order to go on a trip sponsored by the Ski Club you must be a member, and one of the first 20 people to sign up. Although there were many excellent skiers in the Winter Sports Club, it is open to beginners with lessons available. The club dues were two dollars, a small sum compared to the discounts available to members. - Chris Cooper Winter Sports Club 115 The blood drive is a bi-annual event sponsored by St. Jo- seph's Hospital.

But they did have in common active people who were trying to improve their languages along with trying to enjoy themselves. I think through this club we improve our relationships with each other along with how we speak Spanish, said Julie Klien, junior, speaking of the Spanish Club. The eight members of the Spanish Club met at least one Friday lunch hour a month to discuss their old and new busi- ness. During the second quarter their old business included the sale of hot, tasty nachoes. The Spanish Club made them available to students between third and fourth periods and very few complaints were heard about the one dollar cost to try them. The Spanish Club, like many other clubs, was very involved with school.

And almost every week the French club nd the German club were listed. Whether it be the German lub's traditional selling of Gummi Bears or the French club's equent meetings, these groups were always busy. The French club, as in most other years, was very active. With enior Chris Anderson-Kramer, president, Junior Heidi Baker, ce-president, and Senior Sean Uyeda, secretary-treasurer, eading the meetings, things ran smoothly and many matters ere accomplished. The involved students helped with such ind raisers as croissant sales and selling candy filled stockings uring Christmas. The money earned helped pay for students to at at a French Restaurant at the end of the year. The kids that ork the hardest get the most money taken off the price of their leal, said club sponsor Mrs. Dillinger. This is one of the rea- Jns why many of the 30 members were so involved. Not only dstudents work but they also played. Parties and other fun Jcial functions were attended by the students. The club is fun acause there are a lot of people in it, said sophomore Jon aigitsch. But, fun doesn't always require a lot of people as senior Casey Sondgeroth conveys when he said we have a lot of fun but are limited in numbers. The German club, sponsored by Mrs. Allingham, involved about five students. They includ- ed president Sonderoth, vice-presidents, Becky Heckman and Tonya Shear, and treasurer, Terri Duval, junior. All mem- bers were involved in the fundraisers and activities. During the clubs monthly meetings, members talked about selling Gummi Bears and Christmas Advent Calenders and other important matters. With the money made from the fun- draisers, these students had banquets. Speaking either language or even being in one of these two foriegn language classes was not required for joining either of these clubs. All that was required was a small membership fee. Although both clubs focus on different cultures they did have one thing in common-having a good time. Senior Tonya Shear enjoyed activities outside of school as did most of the French and German club members. - Pam Feigitsch German Club member Tonya Shear waits to get her share of German sausage at a Club Ban- quet.

You can find a lot of them in Speech club, Communication Workshop, and Math club. The Speech club had a lot of new members this year. We had more members this year than any other year I've been here, said Kathy Puglisi, president. These new members added to the numbers of last year to make membership total thirty. One thing the sponsor, Mrs. Chopyak, really liked about this year was how enthusiastic the kids were at speech meets. Speech meets are where students individually com- pete in various subjects, like humor, drama, and oral interpre- tation. They're real independent studiers and that is why I think they are winning ribbons, said Chopyak. To them, Chopyak said, there is nothing like winning. Another organization involved in communication was the Communication Workshop. The sponsors were Mark Small and Patty Allis, along with student sponsor, Renee Evans.

Communica- tion Workshop is an outlet for the students to come together and discuss the problems of the school, said Small. They worked together with the administration and Student Govern- ment, to work out their problems. Although the workshop had no fundraisers, they were sup- ported by the Minority Affairs office in the Administration Building. On an academic note, we have the math club. Although they only went to CSU math day in October, they still met twice a month at lunch. The officers this year were Seniors, Mike Kostiuk and George Gang, Sophomores Alex Zakrotf and James Fang.

They were usually the clubs that rarely or even never had a fundraiser or membership drive. Two of these clubs were the Ceramic and Photo clubs. This year however some changes were made in these two clubs. Though mem- bership was still low, around ten members each, the clubs found their ways to financial success. The Ceramic club tried their hands at a bake sale and walked off with about 328.00 But their most successful sale was when they sold pottery and made 5134.00 According to the sponsor Micheal Joseph plans were being made for, a pizza party and a visit to Denver University. Besides these outings, the Ceramics club occas- sionally met after school and had three hour work sessions. They also met the first Thursday of every month during lunch.

This year it was changed to two squads: sub-varsity and varsity. ln years past there were rules about the level of squad the girls were allowed to make: freshmen couldn't make junior varsity or varsity, and sophomores couldn't make varsity. This year that rule was broken with freshmen cheering on sub-varsity. There is too much controversy between people within the squads, said Sophomore Rhonda Wallace, a second year cheerleader. With the four squads, there was no question about where you were and what you had to hope for. The arrangement this year caused real problems with who cheered which events. The various responsibilities of a cheerleader are immense. Their eligibility standards were higher than typical athletes. They must maintain a 3.0 grade averageg if one recieves a 'D', she is benched, and if one receives an 'F', she is suspended from her squad. They are allowed to cheer a maximum of three events per week. They can only miss three cheering assignments during a season, a fourth missed and they are benched, a fifth and they are suspended from their squad. They also must cheer two out of three season. Along with the regulations of cheering, came the financial demands of this costly sport. A first year cheerleader could expect to spend around three hundred dollars for equipment. The second year, if one didn't make varsity, the cost demin- ishes to around two hundred dollars. Finally, for each year on varsity one can expect to pay four hundred dollars. The costs are so high because they must buy everything for a complete unfiorm, from the jacket down to the shoes. Regardless of their internal problems and countless re- sponsibilities, our cheerleaders represented our school, and they did a good job of it all year. lt took a lot of school spirit tc stand out there, smile, and cheer while worring about the squad. Aurora Central's cheerleaders obviously had what il lakes to make OUF school proud. - Kay Masters 128 Cheerleaders Seniors Jill Browne and Renee Evan: lead a cheer at one of Central's manj pep assemblies.

The Silver Boots spent many hours throughout the year perfecting their routines and making their group a success. All the members of the boots had to sacrifice other activities and three hours, two nights a week, plus Saturdays for practice and competitions. They were also at school early every morning in the fall to practice with the marching band. Along with the sacrifice came many benefits. Sophomore Elaine Caras, the commanding officer said, lt teaches you discipline, you can find good pionts in yourself, and you meet a lot of new people. Junior Roxanne Stone added, We're doing something we know not everyone can do. The biggest benefit many members felt was the fun and good times they had throughout the year. For fall guard the boots marched with the band at football games, parades, and competitions. They placed second in both the Arvada and Gateway to the Rockies parade. At the Colorado Band Association Regional marching competition the guard took sixth and at state they took tenth. The Silver Boots Flag and Rifle team portrayed the char- acters from Li'l Abner. ln their show they went through a typical day in Dogpatch U.S.A., a tribute to Jubilation T. Cornpone, and the marriage of Daisy Mae and Li'L Abner. They had a very complex and competitive schedule atten- ding eight competitions, plus they hosted their own show on N s .. .. , jf x 5 'Q February 15th. Sponsor Lil Durocher said, Our far reaching goal is win the circuit championship, but more importantly to have a good time, enjoy what we do and love success. On a typical competition day the group started about 6:15 am. They ran through their show a few times, then headed to the contest. After registering and unloading equipment they would catch a bite to eat and have floor time, which was the time each group competing got to use the floor to practice. Next the members of the group pre- pared themselves both mentally and physically, putting on make-up, costumes and psyching themselves up. The guard then performed their seven minute show. There's no way to describe the feeling when we finish our performance and know we've done the best job we could, said sophomore Lieutenant Lyn Schrotberger. The Boots watched all the other shows and lined up again for awards. A long day ended after going out for dinner. The Silver Boots were more than a club, they were a sport, a musical performing group, and a color guard. Soph- omore Elaine Caras said, We consider each other a family, we're really close The guard was also greatly supported by their booster club and the community. A lot of hard work, knowledge and responsiblility went along with being a Silver Boot, and that is what made it such a great experience. -Linda Young Silver Boots: Front Row: ,Elaine Caras, Denyse Britton, Deanna Rebuck, Shani Smith, Lyn Schrolberger fLieutenantt.

National Honor Society and Close-Up had very contrasting goals this year. The first club's motto could have been Not for one's self , while the latter's could have read For one's own enrichment . But each in its own way was essential as an outlet for students' extra-curricular interests. National Honor Society continued their dedication to pro- viding services to the school and the surrounding community. Led by sponsor Lois Kellenbenz and President Pat Manson, the club members paved a helpful path for those in need. We're chosen to be in N.H.S. because of our scholastic, leadership, and citizenship abilities and it is our responsibility to use our talents to help as many people as we possible can, said Senior Terri Grzybowski. ln addition to their traditional Christmastime gift wrapping activity at the Aurora Mall, the members also volunteered as tutors for elementary and middle school students as well as for those at Central. In order to sponsor the numerous service projects, the club, of course, needed plenty of money and the members proved as adept at raising funds as they were at helping others. Their sale of solid chocalate Santa Clauses was a whopping success, netting the club S500. More money was added from the concessions at the basketball games. We've had an excellent year, said treasurer Mike Kostiuk, everything we tried made money. Manson credits the en- thusiasm of the members with the success. Everyone was willing to work hard. lt made my job a lot easier. 132 Close-Up! NHS As a reward, the club grated two scholarships, each worth 5250, to a few outstanding seniors as decided by a review board comprised of teachers and students. But while N.H.S. was having a relatively easy time spinning yarn into gold, Close-Up members were struggling to knock down the obstacles in the way of their trip to Washington, D.C.-a trip that cost S810 for each person. Even with pro- ceeds from first semester popcorn and candy sales, the twelve members were uncertain whether their anxiously awaited trip would materialize. When the group went out into the community for five hours trying to get donations from businesses and returned with very little money, even the optimistic Eric Chin, first year sponsor, became skeptical. Eventually, the club avoided disaster and made the trip during the week of March 2 through the 8th. No matter how hard it was to raise the money it was worth it. No one had a bad time, said Chin. Besides raising money, they prepared for the trip in other ways. During every meeting they were briefed on legislative and congressional acts, political terms, and political figures. Explained Chin, I wanted them to ask intelligent questions, just as if they were members of the news media. They did. Thus ended the year for two clubs so different in goals and in ways of accomplishing them.

Talent was abound although rowdiness was the rule. We have many extraverts who reside in the theater, remarked Ms. Polly Noone, drama teacher, and sponsor of Thespians and Light Crew. The Christmas party held at Junior Erica Watts house was a success with members from both Thespians and Light Crew attending. Cookies and pop were served and everyone had a good time. Senior Jerry Kohlbeck, president ot Thespians commented, lt was fun and you got to know people better. Thespians met once a month on a Wednesday. Light Crew on the other hand was just a group of students who were banded together by a certain skill, how to set up and run the lights on stage. Although this club is much smaller than Thespians, it showed just as much pride and devotion as it's counterpart. Earlier in the year, many Thespians went to Grand Junction for a drama convention. Money was raised for the trip by having a fundraiser. The fundraiser consisted of selling crystal miniatures. Prizes were awarded to the people who sold the I If Drama teacher, Polly Noone ig gets involved with students by sponsoring the Drama related clubs. Here she discusses activities with club members.

The trip added to the comradeship among the members of the club. When play practice began for West Side Story, Thespians worked together with Ms. Noone to get t-shirts made, pro- moting the show. lt helped to raise money for the club as well as let students know about the upcoming musical. Many club members were in WEST SIDE STORY as well as the other plays performed. Some members who were not in the cast were on the crew. Sophomore Eric Moore who played Bernardo in WEST SIDE STORY said, This is bad, when he had learned a new dance move. Dancing was a big deal in the production with all but the most minor cast mem- bers having to learn complicated routines. Thespians and Light Crew members showed that they were for real by pulling off four successful shows which included, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK Cl-lARLETT'S WEB, and WEST SIDE STORY was an astonishing success. After a strong year it was obvious that the drama people would be alive and kicking in years that followed. -Ben Bauer Many ditterent activities are involved with the Drama clubs.

Everybody was encouraged to take R.O.T.C. forall four years but one must be active for three years to be considered for a scholarship. This year one student was nominated for West Point Academy and five were nominated the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. One of our major goals is to prepare them for these schools, said Livergood. A unique choice of classes was offered through the ROTC. program. The program began the first year with a history in aerospace and the design of an air force base. Aerody namics, meteorology, and the mechanics of an air- craft were the main courses of study in the second year. In the third and fourth years students concentrated on more complicated subjects such as military politics, how to handle leadership conflicts, and survival skills. These courses were designed with the object that students would be able to go right into the military after high school if they so desired. ,.

As one of their many community events, the ROTC program works with the brownies to teach them how to take care ol the American flag.

We are proud of our students, said Livergood. When they got out of this program they have learned enough to pass the FFA flight exams. lf those students who partici- pated in high school R.O.T.C. decided to go in the military, they could receive two stripes as soon as they enlisted which usually took about two years to get otherwise. They could also receive higher pay in the military. Besides learning in the classroom the cadets could com- pete in the drill team or the colorguard. This was the first year that the colorguard entered in competition. These teams competed four times a year against other teams from all over the state. As a reward for all of their hard work and dedication, a few of the advanced students went to Cape Canaveral, Florida for five days in April to learn even more about the military field. One of the main reasons that students join is because it is the right thing to do to defend your country, said Livergood. They also get involved because of the challenge and excite- ment involved in a military career. -Heather Sellars ,. W g me.

You've practiced long jd hardy this is it. Good luck! While the speech describes amwork and competition, it has nothing to do with sports. stead it describes band before a marching competition. The band department was divided into four separate pups: Orchestra, Jazz, Symphonic, and concert band. Under the direction of third year teacher Mike Lucas, the mphonic band lbetter known as marching bandj turned in e best performance in the school's history. At State com- itition in early November, the band placed 11th overall, a pt improvement over the 17th place the year before. ln der for the band to place well in competition, they had to actice long hours. Starting one week before school, the ind joined with other schools at a workshop at Gateway. I think that practices brought us together a little more as a am, said Junior saxaphonist Ben Booker. We all had to it up with the same things, cold weather, and an angry Mr. jcas. We still made mistakes, but we turned out to be a od band. Once marching season was over, the band bved indoors to a more conventional sit down style of tying. Again the band prepared to go to competition, but p time with more emphasis being placed on sound and sic than on style and routine. oncert band, another sit-down band tended to be much aller than the marching band. Consisting of mainly fresh- gn and sophomores, the concert band was a kind of step- ig stone for those planning on continuing with the music partment. Besides performing at concerts like the Christ- ts, Winter and Spring concerts, they also performed with 2 marching band at football, basketball games and pep lies. Dt the three bands, Jazz lStage bandj was probably the t f -wt ., . 4 A 'w..,,M Qs NHT, most successfull. Made up of only the best musicians, Jazz band constantly placed in the top three at all competitions. ln order for the band to really be tested however, they needed to compete nationally. To raise money to go to California, the jazz band, in conjunction with the drama department, held a spaghetti dinner and dance in December during the produc- tion of Charlottes Web. The band raised almost 300 dollars. Orchestra was probably the least known about group. Besides playing at the schedueled concerts, the only other opportunity the orchestra had a chance to perform was dur- ing the musicals. West Side Story was one of the years most ambitious undertakings by the orchestra. Practicing the diffi- cult music during lunch hour in February and then again in the evening during March, the orchestra perfected the music and was one of the main reasons why the play was such a success. As is the case with every club, band had members that excelled in what they did. Junior saxaphonist Michelle Hall, junior trombonists Gary Brewer and Steve Brelsford, junior clarinetists Erica Norman and Stephanie Mitchell, Trumpets Brett Davis and Brenda Cecelones, Junior Flutist Paige Buck- ingham and Sophomore Eric Moore and Marucs Fteddick all participated in the all-state band in January. Junior saxa- phonists Chris Gallegos and Lori Flickner and sophomore Lara Bryant were also in the all-state band. Billy Joel once said, Musicians tend to think alike, prob- ably because we're all crazy. It was that thinking alike that got most band and orchestra members through the long practices and the ranting and ravings of their teacher.

These clubs pull different people from the student body that have an interest in performing. Because of this interest, it makes every person that hears them share the love of music that the performers have.

Because of the tall delivery l senior pictures were due to the later and thus prevented many j lems. . rata'-'RTSFU' 5 Deadline met with extra effort lt helped improve my writing skills, I've learned a lot, said Senior, Kathy Puglisi, a member of the yearbook staff. Being on the Borealis staff or the Trojan Tribune staff required skills in writing and interviewing. Even if one didn't possess these skills, they were taught and learned them with great speed. Both staffs were known to work after school and at nights to meet the everpresent deadlines. Two of the major problems that both staffs faced was the lack of staff membership and critical analysis by the students and staff when the yearbook or newspaper was received. A perfect yearbook or newspaper is close to impossible, said Nadine Heiss, sponsor of both newspaper and yearbook. Since the newspaper staff was smaller than it has been in the past few years all of the staff felt extreme pressure around deadlines dates. You have to do your part and that extra little bit, said Editor Gary Brewer. But the paper came out every month just as planned. l'm shocked we could pull it off, said Brewer. The major issue of the yearbook this year was the change in the time of delivery. Instead of the traditional spring deliv- ery, the yearbook came out in the fall before the next school year started. This was favorable in some people's eyes but unfavorable to others. The product will be so much better, said Heiss. A spring delivery had caused many problems in the past including the last deadline due in February before many activities and sports were over thus causing inaccurate reporting. 142 Borealis!Tribune Having both newspaper and yearbook in the same roor with one sponsor brought unity between the staffs. One ex ample of this unity was the Christmas party at Heiss' house Everyone crowded into her living room and ate spaghett watched a movie and opened gifts. But sometimes this unit was put to the test when deadlines fell at the same time. Yo just have to give room to people, said Sophomore Robel Brown, a member of the Trojan Tribune. One of the newest editions to the journalism room was th brand new Macintosh computer which was used by bot Yearbook and newspaper typed all of their stories on th computer. The computer was a great help to both staffs an made things run much smoother. Heiss and her staffs went to the middle schools and th honors classes to recruit more staff members and photogrz phers for the coming year. But also with the need for peopl comes the need for funds. The major supplier of funds ar outside businesses around the community that buy advertise ments. These advertisements pay for the many extras in th yearbook such as color and a nice cover. Even though both staff faced many problems, at the end c the month or at the end of the year when the product of the efforts was handed out to the students there was a feeling 4 accomplishment that was felt by all involved in the produr tion. -Heather Sella. 42 rc J?

There was renewed Life at every heated discusson and every lunchtime cramming period. It tagged along excitedly with Socialogy classes to the mortuary and scurried into the rain to auto mechanics classes in the annex. Life blissfully forgot homework with many seniors as the quarters rolled by and trudged into the small gym for the required first year gym class with the freshmen. And before each grading peri- od, a quietly excited new Life tiptoed through classrooms as students hurriedly answered essay questions and identified the bones of the leg. It applauded a hat stand well-made and a backhand well-followed through. And at the end of it all Life passed its own test with flying colors, earning Aurorais classic school an A.

Art on essentiol port of school Artists use different mediums Did you want to build a car, paint a boat, make it float, stud a ring, draw a king, make a pot and why not? You must have been in the art depart- ment wing. Art was an essential part of the school curricu- lum during the school year. Many new aspects of art were covered. Drawing l and ll were popular classes while sculpting and jewlry lended to the diversity of classes offered. Some students took these classes for the fun of it while others took them for prepara- tion of a particular art career. AP Studio Art was one of these advanced classes set up specifically for the serious artist. Senior Shawn Beck on the other hand added that, Some people take the class just as a hobby. Most of the classes offered required a fee to pay formaterials. This however was a small thing to ask considering that many of the machines and supplies used were payed for by the school. Mr. Michael Joseph, art teacher commented, lt wouldn't be fair to students if they had to pay for everything. However , Joseph added later, When students are careless, they must pay for whatever they break. The only real problem that Joseph saw in his classes was the occasional disrespect for peo- ples' property. When someone works on a project for a long time, there is nothing worse than it getting destroyed by someone else's careless- ness. He did admit though that it's rarely on purpose that this happens. Even with some small problems, the art depart- ment has managed to get the best artists that Central had to offer together for a great year. -By Ben Bauer Money Spent 147 Those aggravating academics! Regular classes Can you remember sitting in English class work- ing on homework for science class? Or looking around at students eyes straining to stay open, above wide open yawning mouths? This was a familiar scene in many academic classes. Once in awhile, however, students got a dose of action to keep their interest in their Thought classes. The smallest ofthe acedemic departments was the Foreign Language department. The languages offered were French, German, Latin, and Spanish. The number of students enrolled in these classes increased from past yearsg this was generally be- cause the colleges started requiring two years of a language for entrance. Mrs. Geri Dillinger, French teacher, said, Learning a foreign language gives you great discipline, and also helps in other sub- ject matters, like English. A question often heard being asked by students in English classes was why do l have to take this class? Mrs. Carol Miron, English teacher, said, Every person except the ultimate recluse has a need for it, she continued, a person's English skills will set them apart in the world. In English classes, students read non-fiction, poetry, drama, and non- fiction. ln Mrs. Shelly Gaglia's 3rd hour T.V. Productions class, an assignment was a film a practical joke: one group chose to have Mr. Fred Collins tell Junior Kelly Whelan that she had a number ofparking tickets. Whelan said, I was so scared, I thought he was going to suspend me. The upper level quarter classes created problems reap rewards in scheduling because every class was not offered every period of the day. To help this problem, the quarter classes were grouped in blocks according and students had to take classes within a certain block. The next academic department was the Social Studies department. The reason kids don't like social studies is because they've had it forever after, it hits close to home and it teaches plain living, said Joanne Foster, Social Studies teach- er. Some of the classes students took to fulfill the three credits required were Psychology, American History, World Cultured, and Geography. While those students were taking social science classes, others were interested in the physical sciences. Since all of life deals with math, surprisingly only two credits of math were required, but approxi- mately 70 'Vo of students took three or four years of math. Some of the classes offered were Alge- bra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Busi- ness Math. Even though each of the academic departments were vastly different, each had something in it's curriculum that helped students. These classes ranged from teaching students to speak French, to teaching students the speed at which a metal sphere rolls down a rampg but no matter what a student learned from these classes, it involved thought on the students part. -By Jennifer Peterson si si 148 Thought Spent Q Freshmen, Michelle Hughes, Linda Dalmadge, and Dwayne Penn work on a worksheet.

Honors Classes 320 students toke chollenge Honor closses toke more time While the usual routine of books and exams per- sisted in every class, there were some exceptions. Honors classes tended to do extra activities that were directly related to their study topic. But it wasn't all fun and games. Activities like field trips, simulations and projects also involved a lot of hard work. One of the major topics of discussion involving honors classes was weighted grades. Petitions were passed around by students during the month of March requesting weighted grades. I believe in weighted grade, but not for just honors students. Anybody that performs beyond the normal or ex- pected requirements should be rewarded, said Joanne Foster, an honors history teacher. Honors U.S. history, taught by eleven year teacher Foster, was the only honors history course taught. Honors classes have grown smaller in every department since l've been teaching at Cen- tral, said Foster. There are a number of reasons for the dropg sports, work, grades etc. Most of the time it's not a question of the students not being able to take the course, but of the students not wanting to take a harder class and endangering their G.P.A. Often good, capable students don't push themselves and take a harder course, at time like that, grades can become a real barrier. Fosters history class included lots of extras. While studying the constitution, each student was assigned a person that actually attended the origi- nal Constitutional Congress. Two weeks were spent researching the congress and their assigned role. Between the field trips and simulations there was a lot of work to do. Major projects for each quarter were asigned and notebooks with current events were kept and turned in at the end of the nine weeks. Honors English classes were the largest of the three departments. The English program spent 35-1--.' -' :.XZ'2lELu :-I ' ' ' , ,.,...,,,,,,,,..........---Q--,M much more time doing book work than any otber honors class. Writing and grammar took up most of the students time by writing re- search papers and short stories. lt was the reading though, that tended to be the most interesting if not enjoyable, Starting with Ro- meo and Juliet as freshmen and finishing with books like The Mayor of Gasterbridge, and As I Lay Dying in A.P. English as seniors, the read- ing was continually intense and grew in difficul- ty. But with the work, went a little fun. In No- vember, the Honors English 1 1 classes went to the Denver Theatre of Performing Arts to watch my Fair Lady. Honors math was vary much like honors Eng- lish in the fact that most of its work was done from books. The teachers are what makes the classes enjoyable. They each have a different style of teaching while still making the classes fun, said Junior Stephanie Mitchell, an honors trig. student. Combined with the classes was the Math Club. While not restricted to only hon- ors math students, most of its members were in the honors math program. C.U. math days saw its best match with four of the five member team placing. One of the more unique classes, Agate, was taught by Dr. Neal Lininger. In the first semes- ter, students were treated to a number of guest speakers having to do with different profes- sions and areas of interests. This all led up to the second semester where students pursued an individual project. Some of the projects were experiments proving theoris, and others were as simple as models built to test architectural structures. Despite the often heavy workload, 320 stu- dents chose to pursue some sort of an honors class. While each was different in structure and content, each was designed to do basically the same thing: prepare the student for college and the real world by pushing the student to go further than he or she thought they could. -Chris Gallegos Seniors Chris Daws and Mike Yurcheck work together on a physics problem.

For fun, don't Waiver, take gym What class can students take where they have 18 choices and 70 to 80 other friends with them. Only in Physical Education. In todays society there is a great emphasis placed on being physically fit. Although a lot of kids liked gym and exercising, there was a way around it . . . They could wavier. This means if a person had participated on a school athletic team, been a member of the Drill Team, or had been a Cheerleader or Pom Pom they could substitute it for up to half of the required gym credit. A student could not waiver more than one year of credit for gym. At least 45 hours of participation in an athle- tic activity were needed to fulfill the waiver require- ments. P.E. was a required class for 2 credits. There 2 was a variety of choices that ranged from any- where Weight training or volleyball to swimming and tennis. As a freshman, gym teachers picked students classes for them, and each class was 4 and 1!2 weeks long. Sophomoresg Juniors' and Seniors' classes were a full quarter long. They were able to pick their own classes. Both teachers and students alike found P.E. a break in their usually academic day. Sophomore Robert Brown said lt can be alot of fun but its also alot of work. lt's the only class I don't have any homework in. Mr. Jackson, gym teacher and head of the P.E. department said its the fun part of the cirriculum. - Chris Cooper Another team sport offered in physical education was basketball. Students were able to choose what sports they prefered. A sophomore gym student puts all of his effort into hitting a homerun. Physical education was a highly anticipat- ed class for many students because of the physical aspect. PhymcalEducaUon 153 Cooking, Cleoning . . . lt's not whot people think Contrary to popular belief, Industrial Arts, and Home Economics taught more than just sewing, cooking, and building. These classes were quite time consuming, and taught material good for later in life. ln Home Economics, students were taught how to apply their courses to modern lifestyles, and the classes also tried to meet the needs of the students and their families. Many people have a false notion about Home Ec. classes, lt's not just cooking and cleaning, said teacher Carol Gilbert, We strive to express the impor- tance of family life. Home Ec. stressed modern living styles, and preparation for the real world. This included the needs of the modern family, and the students' upcoming, independent lives. There is a lot of application today for these classes, we've gone above and beyond the ste- reo typical Home Ec. class, said teacher Carol Gilbert. Many of the classes taught have been in preparation for the student soon leaving home, for example, how to make quick, and nutritional meals that are inexpensive to make, rather than eating out every night, which many of the youth do, which is not very nutritional, but can get extremely expensive. There has been lots of application for the Home Ec. classes, and there has been lots of work involved, said Gilbert. Some of the Home Ec. classes taught this year were Child Development, You and Your Money, Clothing and Fashion, and Contemperary Living. The other classes mentioned are Industrial Arts classes. ln these courses, students learned trades that could be useful later in life, for exam- ple, Auto Mechanics, Woodshop, and Electron- ics. These classes taught students how to do something that would be useful, and money sav- ing, later on in life. Woodshop added several choices to their beginning classes to increase intrest among students, and that would be prac- tical in todays modern society, such as a VCR tape cabinet. The classes were very time con- suming, and took a little more work than many students anticipated, The students had to plan out their projects, and figure the cost of each, said teacher John Yuracheck. During second se- mester, students completed projects that they chose to complete. lt takes a lot of time if you wish to do a good job and make it turn out just right, said Junior Missy Geik. These classes have taught students skills to better their future lives and helped them in ways so that they could improve their present lives. These classes have been falsely represented in the eyes of students.

The business and computer departments offered classes that pre- pared any interested student for a successful ca- reer in the business world. The business world is becoming flooded with computers, and the business department added computer software in their classes. In the computer department students were of- fered courses in Computer Literacy, Fundamental Computer skills, and BASIC programming, in ad- dition t'o PASCAL and applications in program- ming. Fundamental Computers offered the prima- ry computer skills and taught some of the BASIC language. This class had about eighteen to twenty people in each class. Computer Literacy, with the same number of people in each class, gave a background in the history of the computer as well as uses of the different computer languages and career opportunities. The BASIC and PASCAL classes offered an on hands study of computer languages. Applications in programming allowed the student to apply what they have learned in BASIC and PASCAL to computer programs. All these classes, said head of the computer depart- ment, Andy Gassman, are for developing logical thinking, and logical thinking says what and how when it comes to computers. Computers help people get ready for life and college. Senior Liz Burr, who plans to minor in computer science said, these classes can help prepare you for a job and teach you how to do research on the computer, which is a must if you plan to go to college. Liz also added although we have a good computer department, there are not enough classes offered. Rick Davis and Ken Neer are trying to enhance their education on the computer by sharing each others ideal and putting them to use for a new program. 156 Time Spent!Business technology Although computers help in business as well, students were also offered a number of courses that gave them enough business skills to work without necessarily having further training. Courses were offered in Accounting, Business Law, Exploring Business, and Business Manage- ment. Courses were also offered in business skills such as Shorthand, Business Communications, Office Procedures, Typing and a course in Busi- ness Machines. In the accounting courses, students got the ba- sic principles of how business transactions are done. In Business Law, students learned the meaning of the court system, contracts, and other areas necessary for a business environment, In Exploring Business, students learned of the differ- ent careers available in the business world. And in business management, the students were taught how to organize and manage any kind of busi- ness. ln Business Communications, students prac- ticed in the fields of oral and written communica- tion for a business environment. And in Office Productions, students improved their typing skills and preparation of business forms. Business classes helped students get ready for the business world. Sophomore, Elaine Caras, said the business courses really help people un- derstand a business perspective. Elaine added, these classes help prepare me for college and they let me know if l like my choice of careers. ln both computer and business classes, stu- dents learned business and computer skills suc- cessfully, as well as getting prepared for college and life after high school. -Gregg Naff of AE it sg A s 1, lf' X ..... i X .f MIQQK sg , Junior Linda Venner looks up from her work during typing class.

Each had one thing in common though, they excelled academically. Central proudly boasted tri valedictorians all with 4.os, a salutatorian with a 3.99, and the other six that were mere hundredths of a point from perfect grade point averages. One of the three valedictorians was Terri Grzybowski who like many of the top was succussful both academically and athletically. Grzybowski participated in cross country and track, excelling in both. Her hard work in everything helped her receive numerous awards and scholarships, including Boettcher Alternate and Honors at Entrance, Colorado Col- lege. Another valedictorian was Micheel Kostiuk who was known for his scientific and mathematical mind. A lot of internal drive was a big factor both in being in the top ten and earning an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. And the third valedictogan was Patrick Manson, like Grzy- bowski, a scholar and athlete. Manson had achieved in both soccer and track. After being recruited by many schools, Manson's decision was to attend the University of Kansas where he received an engineering scholarship. Lisa Lampinen was the salutatorian. Her great determina- tion to succeed not only got her in the top ten but also won her the CSU President's Scholarship. The advice Lampinen offered was certainly true for herself, Don't ever give up, and remember what it is that you want. The other top ten seniors were Bevin Barbo, Natalie Blake, Christopher Daws, Gwen Orook, Kathleen Puglisi, and Mi- chael Yurchak. 3 as .

Orook who said, lf you're not doing it for yourself, it's not worth doing, was awarded with the CU Begent Scholarship Orrok spent much time as tutoring chair for NHS while she also participated in many sports. Puglisi was very active in competitive speech and drama Included in Puglisi's plans were attending the University or Dayton, Ohio, majoring in communications, and becoming e professional in television broadcasting. Yurchak did not feel that making top ten made him tha' different from the rest of the Class of '86. Majoring in chemi- cal engineering at CU were Yurchak's future plans. Graduating in top ten was a goal set by many from the star of high school, and even though it was a battle to the end the task was successfully completed by ten of Central's best. - Kathy Puglisi The top ten seniors not in order of rank: Michael Kostiuk, Terri Gr bowski, Patrick Manson, Lisa Lampinen, Gwen Orrok, Natalie Blake, Be Barbo, Michael Yurchak, Kathleen Puglisi, Christopher Daws. lxcellence truly does ottroct excellence four top students go to top schools There is an elite group of people in each class, a group that recognized from a far, in 1986 this group was well repre- nted by Mike Kostiuk, Tim Trotter, Lauren Rider, and So- la Sconiers. Attending a military academy is a dream that many young an and women have, but few ever fulfill. The academies ily except the best, and in '86 Central produced two such lung meng Mike Kostiuk and Tim Trotter. Kostiuk comes from a military family, this father was in the r Forcei and early last year he began looking at all three ademies, but finally decided on the U.S. Naval Academy in inapolis, Maryland, because of the opportunities in Nuclear lgineering, his tentative career plan. All three schools are ry good, said Kostiuk, But the more l looked at the Navy, 2 more I began to admire the way they do things. Currently Kostiuk is planning to become a career officer, twill reevaluate himself and his goals after his required five ar term is up. I just plan on being the best officer I can be tile l'm in the Navy, and just go from there, he explained. Trotter also comes from a military family, having several atives who graduated from West Point. He hopes to be a ot, but if that doesn't work out, Annapolis is certainly a od place to study engineering, his alternate career choice. The Navy was not Trotter's first choice however, being a prospective aviator, his natural choice was the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, but when he was turned down he was happy with the Navy. The academy has one of the best academic programs in the country, period, university or academy, he said. As both these young men prepare to ship out to become official naval officers, a startling thought come to mindg while Kostiuk and Trotter are a sampling of the best Central has to offer, they will become average at Annapolis, each will be just one of many top students from around the country. lt will be a lot more competitive than high school, or even a state university, explained Kosiuk, But l'm not going to hate the other people, there's a kind of comradary that forms from that competitiveness. For graduating junior Lauren Rider, the military isn't the way to go, but rather over-seas to England, and prestigious Cambridge University. But first Rider will spend a year in Switzerland as an ex- change studentf' I really wanted to go over-seas, said Rid- er, But .it's really not that scary, l'm just excited about going. - Robert Brown . x A A iubuliant assembly crowd reflects the diversified population at school.

Someone once said that variety is the spice of it. Central's People were the epitomy of the word variety. Over its 30 years, Central had produced from its halls an increased variety of students. The many different people were offi- cially divided into 611 freshmen, 639 sopho- mores, 418 juniors and 400 seniors. But it was when they were together in any of the numerous combinations that there in lay the Life. lt was also there in the lines of every book oponed and in the sparks of imagination of every new idea formed. Life was behind the curtain at plays and in full, loud view on every court, field and course played on. But most important, it was inside each and every one of those readers and think- ers and players and performers. ' Life was the one special and previously remote ingredient that simmered and brewed through- out the year, boiling over with steam and smoke many times during the year as the people of Troy proved that Central's Life was its people.

SHGUT! Let if all out! Seniors! Seniors! Don't be shy. Listen to our battle cry. S- E-N-I-O-Fi-S! Seniors! Seniors! We're the best! That was the cry heard during this year. From the pep assemblies to the football games and throughout the halls, seniors were showing their spirit. Seniors knew it was their last year and according to Matt Steele, senior, we want- ed to make the best of it. lt began with Trojan Week when the seniors won all the class competitions. During that week, many things happenedg one memorable activity was the day Jerry Kohlbeck and Steele, seniors, poured buck- ets of water down the main hall on Beach Day. Pranks, such as this, were permitted as long as they aren't damaging any property and aren't hurting anyone, said Assistant Principal Fred Collins. 162 Seniors Not only did pranks show senior spirit, but it was ever present at the pep assemblies. They tried hard to win the spir- it stick and occasionally did. Then as the year grew, so did seniors' enthusiasm. When the seniors' last month of school arrived, the countdown began. Spirits soared to greater heights. En- thusiasm showed up in every activity especially those re- stricted to seniors. Such events were Senior Ditch Day, Secret Senior Meetings to ar- range senior activities, and Senior Week. The last and ob- viously the best chance to show senior spirit, was at gra- duation. As the last diploma was handed out, cries of joy and shouts of happiness were heard as the seniors sounded their final cheer. Seniors! Sen- iors!

Seniors if 6 'L f r Senior class changes, but pranks and spirit remain eternal The class of 1986 will be the thirtieth to vacate the halls and desert the classrooms of Cen- tral. Over thirty years, as one would imagine, many things have changed. Most kids didn't work, Mrs. Pat Lord explained, 'School was their work. Now about halt the students at Central have jobs. The need varies from stu- dent to student, but most ex- plain they need the money for college, their cars, and noctur- nal activities. Mrs. Lord and Mrs. Carla Knox graduated from Central in 1956, its maiden graduating class. When asked about any similarities in the school or its students, they both agreed that everything has changed so much. Two things haven't changed over the years: senioritis and senior pranks. Senioritis is an ever-present disease among all seniors, even seniors thirty years ago suffered from it. Even then everyone still wanted out! said Lord. The present senioritis may affect the seniors more today than it did thirty years ago, but even then the disease was still very strong. Senior pranks are still around . -4 , ., rt vs .XVJ1 no is .K I thirty years later also. In years past, the classes have been known to do such things as put ducks in the pool, try to put the school on the real estate mar- ket, and walk out of class to catch some rays . Thirty years ago, the seniors started a tradition with their senior prank. There was a large water tower out by where the tennis courts are now, said Lord. We tried to paint a '56 on the side of it. ln the process our class president, student body president, most of the class officers, and a lot of the class got arrested. In years proceeding, senior classes tried to do the same, and meet the challange set forth by the class of '56, Seniors have changed dra- matically over thirty years. After all, time can change a lot of things, but the senior spirit is still alive and well at Aurora Central. - Kay Masters Tradition is still very much part of Central. Seniors demonstrate their spirit while residing in their place of honor at pep assemblies. Visiting colleges was one way seniors had to help them make decisions about the future. Pat Manson stands in front of a building while on a visit to Harvard. iffil Preparing for future Occupied much The choices, limitless. The possibilities, endless. The de- cisions, frustrating, difficult, happy, sad, and satisfying. There are many factors that affect choosing a future. ln the sixth grade I read a book about Clarence Darrow, a famous lawyer, ever since then l've wanted to be a law- yer, said Sonya Sconiers, senior. While books helped some people to decide on a career, family, friends, movies, interests, and other influences affected other's decisions. Along with the infinite num- ber of reasons for decisions about one's future came an equally great selection of ca- reers. Teacher, architect, medical doctor, lawyer, dentist, and accountant were among the many vocations which ap- pealed to students. Senior, Mike Kostiuk wanted to be- come a Nuclear Engineer be- cause nuclear power fasci- nates him. Students with similar inter- est opted for highly profes- sional careers while others 166 Seniors of seniors' time wanted more vocational occu- pations, as did senior, Tammy Janke who planned to go to California for cosmotology training and come back to Denver to become a hair de- signer. Still other students obtained work where each got on-the- job training. Such jobs were found at restaurants, depart- ment stores, service stations, factories, and many other es- tablishments. Although a large number of students chose to work in the business world, some became farmers, homemakers, worked at home, joined the Service, or chose not to be employed. Besides careers, students had to choose where to live and what sort of lifestyle each preferred. What do I want to become? Where will I live? How will I live? Who will l marry? These and more are questions people had to think about. Along with the diversi- fied population of students came a diversified amount of answers to these questions. - by Pam Feigitsch ug. ?, K if L iw -rr 'L' NfffW'iiir.:.J T.

Senior prestige is nice but expensive Becoming a Senior was a long awaited accomplishment. However, It was not all that it was cracked up to be. Having endured three grueling years, a Senior was ready to demand the respect that was entitled to them. The majority of seniors were 17 or 18 years old and by that time many responsibilities were taken on. Getting a job, making the grades, having a so- cial life, and having good family relations were important. None- theless, a great deal of time and money goes into being a Senior. One of the first costs that arose was none other than the ever famous senior pictures. These pictures could have been quite expensive depending on where one went for his sittings. The prices ranged anywhere from S60 for a very basic pack- age, to S250 for a more com- plete package. Another cost that seniors unfortunately couldn't avoid was that for caps tions, which required at least 820. Towards the end of the year, approximately 51515 was needed to attend the annual senior luncheon. ACT's and SAT's also approximately 810. The biggest cost for seniors was probably a car. One can pay anywhere from .75ct for a spark plug, to S300 or more for an unforeseen accident. Insur- ance also cost an extra amount. Entertainment and an active social life were important, also. The movies cost 35, which made renting a VCR movie cheaper. Most seniors got this money either from parents or a job. All in all, being a senior was a well-deserved title and there were many stipulations. Senior, Marena Finnin summed it up nicely, Being a senior is great and all the fun that comes with it is even better, but when it comes down to business or money, it's time to get serious! QX and gowns, and graduation an- nouncements. Senior, Kathy Puglisi-paid S41 for her an- nouncements, and this by far was not the cheapest price.

He later experienced his most embarassing moment. Q J--M Blushing and laughing after life's most embarrassing times I couldn't believe it, I dropped my notebook on the middle of the main hall and all of my papers went every- where. I looked up and felt like everyone was staring at me, said Senior Tammy Janke. During the four years spent in school, many students have had embarrassing moments. Gina Girardi, senior, ex- plained her most embarrass- ing moment was when I came out of the girls res- troom. She went on to ex- plain, l walked into the main hall and continued towards the cafeteria. I then noticed my zipper was open. I was in gym, explained Marina Finnin, senior, playing volleyball on a male team. When I jumped up to hit the ball, my bra strap broke. Ev- eryone was laughing at me and I ran out. Others didn't have such se- rious problems. Senior Sean Uyeda said. The day before club pictures were to be tak- Seniors en, last year I got a perma- nent. Unfortunately, it didn't work and looked as if I had a 1966 afro. Seniors Jeff White and Jerry Kohlbeck exper- ienced their most embarrass- ing moment on stage. I was performing in the Pumpkin gi- ant, stated White, ln the middle of the show, my pants fell down. During The Diary of Anne Frank, Kohlbeck couIdn't change fast enough. I was ripping off my costume, during rehearsal, and sudden- ly the lights came back on. Kohlbeck continued, I was standing on stage in my un- derware. This stunt was per- fect for the role so, I per- formed this every night. Moments, such as these are shared by seniors. Some were funny and others humiliating, but these moments were what made the Senior class a unique part of the student body. - by Kathy Puglisi ,.. ,,,4 'usa' is Lf. fl! ...,fs.4.. S,- qs.

Sophomores did just that during the first assembly. Sa ing adios to AC, a fina farewell to the Alma Mater I don't need anyone look- ing over my shoulder, said senior Ftodney Harris. I'm closer to the end, said senior Pat Boggs. Sayings? Mere statements? NO! These are genuine quotes from seniors, our class of '86. It wasn't easy being a senior, getting those final credits, sen- ior pictures, making college decisions and deciding on a future. Some seniors said that even though it wasn't easy, it was fun, finally getting one step ahead in the game of life. The class of 1986 was not just another ordinary year, but a time for changes. Not gradu- ating in 1986 created a new and slightly more difficult situ- ation. Being a senior this year is easy because we don't have to do a lot, like only having to have 20 credits instead of 22, said Rodney Harris. Giv- ing advice to underclassmen and having them look up to you is great, I don't feel that we have to, but most under- classmen find it useful to be told where classes are and up- coming school events, said Gary Denny. Getting out two days before graduation is real- ly kind of a bummer, not really much time to prepare, added senior Fion Smith. Not all as- pects of being a senior were easy. It had its disadvantages. We may be called the up- perclassmen, but we are all the same, just in a higher grade, said senior Fiodney Harris. Being a senior, getting out of high school, not having to listen to the old, Get your work done or you'll never gra- duate lines from weII-mean- ing but often nagging parents and teachers. Of course there was always someone who felt a little bit different. As Gary Denny said I like it here, I had a great four years, the teachers, the stu- dents, the sports program made it great. I spent four years with a class that I wish I could spend the rest of my life Wit h. ' ' - Angelina Booker Seniors 173 Turning 18 opened up many new doors for teenagers. The bright lights of Denver nightlife offered many clubs and hangouts to the Search and lots of fun for t DECISIONS. DECISIONS. What to do on the weekend. For seniors, the choices were endless. Whether alone or with a group, students could al- ways find something to occu- py their time. Even with such a diverse senior population, the choices for favorite activities were surprisingly much the same. The surveyed seniors chose the following as their ten favor- ite weekend activities: 1. movies 2. eating out. 3. athletic events 4. parties 5. concerts 6. dancing at clubs 7. renting movies . travel . drinking socially. 8 9 174 Seniors interested Senior. I ou will find e weekends 10. other activities such as shopping and being with friends I just like to go and have fun with people who share the same interests, said Dawn Grantham of why she goes to Norman's, a popular teen dis- coteque. While some seniors preferred the crowded atmo- sphere of public places, others opted for more quiet week- ends. When I have a free weekend, I love to go camp- ing, said Kathy Puglisi. Whether seeing a movie, eating out, or doing anything else for enjoyment, the major- ity of seniors agreed with An- dre DePriest when he said, Seniors definitely had fun this year. 4 by Sonya Sconiers and Pam Feigitsch gifs?

But you don't have be famous to know how to ake these faces, or have rea- ris to do them. Where were lots of reasons to ake faces. One reason was to tate others. Sophomore Linda lung, said this is her favorite ason, especially when it con- rns her sister Kerry Young, a tior. Linda stands in the mirror the morning and makes faces tile Kerry waits to get in the throom. Hey Kerry. Come look at this one quick, she would say, But what does Kerry have to say about all this? Yes, she's a comedian. Another reason for making faces was entertainment, either personal or for others. Rachel Turbin, sophomore, entertains herself before picture time. Look- ing in the mirror, I get tired of smiling and have to make a face at myself. Some people make faces to entertain other people. ln the movie Spies Like Us, Chevy Chase was in training to be a spy. When he came out of the com- pression unit, his face was be noticed smashed as if it were stuck that way. The entire theatre laughed. Movies, and T.V. are one of the best places people get their faces. Kathy Puglisi got her frog face from the Muppet Show. But according to Kathy, People have their own faces and they can't always do what other peo- ple do. These crazy people get their faces from lots of places, but no matter where they get their faces, they entertain and brighten peo- ples days. - Corey Head 1- . it 'K if X l -is .lt,,'., 3.-, ' lil. .f - lt' V 5,v,.m sl .E kt? ii . . ff K .,,, - l 1 ffl' Q ,, S., 2--5. ... mf ' 2 , . -1 tl fqs . -'xx ,lf - t 5 t ri x. . ,X 'Q .

They raise money. Their methods of raising money are different but they do reach their goal: money. Clubs at Central also partici- pate in fundraisers. Practically any day, one might have walked by the cafeteria between 3rd and 4th hour and noticed clubs selling food. Clubs sold items such as nachos and home baked goods. On Thursday, September 5th, Mr. Fred Collins, assistant princi- pal, organized a venders fair. All sponsors and their officers were invited to come. important contacts. Ms. Polly Noone, sponsor of Drama Club, was looking for a different type of fundraiser. Whatever fundraiser it might be had to have three ele- ments. A unique item, the price and the ability to sell. In early No- vember, the club sold crystal. The profit was an astounding 3800. The National Honor Society also had a fundraiser that was found at the convention. In late November, and early December they sold chocolate Santa's. This fundraiser made about S5900 dol- lars. Most of the money raised is used for parties, scholarships At this fair, Drama Club made sf Q, N 1 ix 'X A ,,', 2' i n ' .lftk if ,,..4a. x -4 sociabilit and the induction of new mer bers at the end of the year.

The Victory Dances, created by the Letter- man's Club, took up where the Halloween Dance left off. Though attendance was low at first, word of the fantastic dances held in the cafeteria after home basket- ball games soon got around. Senior Chubby Dinwiddie said, I didn't go to the first one. But my friends told me they had a good time so I went to all the ones after that. Limbo competitions and dance contests were just a few of the activities whipped up by the club. While the October dance earned the cheerleaders money, the Victory Dances were not put on for profit. The purpose of the dances was to give the students something to do on Fridays and Saturday nights. Making a huge profit was not a goal, said spon- sor Sam Hewson. Luckily for students, Central returned to the all time favorite activity of the fifites. For an inex- pensive night of eating, dancing, and socializing it was not even necessary to leave the school. - Sonya Sconiers Wanda Kwak Dwight Larsen Terry Larue Robert Lawrence Linh Le Hyle Leach ? ,QQI ,Q Rosalie Lee David Lenk Levantz Lewis S . 2 x Q , t Ladeanna Lloyd Shawna Lloyd Lisa Lopez Maria Lopez Xung Luong Charlene Maestas Michael Maez Richard Maez 'al H Michelle Manhart dh Q 'Q Steven Mann if A Laura Manzanares Margaret Martin , Steven Martin 2 egg, Catherine Martinez ii Louisa Martinez Robbie Martinez Lee Massey . ,.- uv Ewa Christa!

No barrage of threats to reduce grades greets the late arrivals. ln- stead a series of playful jokes fly between them and the teacher. The entire atmosphere is casual and relaxed. But when discussion begins, the students are all at at- tention. The class was Peer Counsel- ing. lt was sponsored by Caroline Jones with the help of Linda Fein- burg.

The 2nd annual Blood Drive 'as held on Monday November 1, 1985. The library was trans- mrmed into a mini-hospital with 0 nurses dressed up as charac- ers from M.A.S.H. ln conjunction with St. Joseph Hospital, the students and facul- ty donated their blood. Out of 133 people came 99 pints of blood. Just one short of the 100 pint goal! The 99 pints was better then last year's 97 pints. A lot more people knew about it and are willing to donate, said the chairman of the Blood Drive, Chris Kramer. To donate blood one had to be at least 17 with a parent permis- sion slip. l feel that the age should be lowered to 16, be- cause lt would give me a good feeling knowing that l may have saved a life, but there's always next year, said Sally Chase, ju- nior. By giving their pints of blood, the students and faculty showed that Central does care about sav- ing lives. - Michelle Burns Penny Untiedt Trig Vanderhoef Linda Venner Kritpet Vichiensal . .-. 7.

On the oth- hand activities such as sports, id school clubs do. Student government was a Jpular form of involvement. hile student government held imerous fund raisers, probably e years biggest accomplish- ents were the two blood drives. vlost people don't realize that e do things outside of school as ell as during school , said Gina 'illiams, senior. We do a lot of annlng and preparations that aople don't know about. Plays were also very popular among students. Approximately 50 turned out for Charlottes Web, an unusually high number for a children's play. Each play took anywhere from a half month to three months to prepare de- pending on the size of the play. lt's always hard work, but on opening night, when the curtain rises, it's all worth it, said junior Erica Watts. Outside of school, student in- volvement can be broken down into two different catagories: work, and non-school-related clubs. Non-school related activi- ties ranged from the Vectorsg a t bird lovers group, to church relat- ed activities. We don't spend all our time praying and stuff, we do a lot of fun activities as well, said junior Gennevieve David. Despite the size of most stu- dent involvement groups, none could compare to the largest group of involved students in the school. They were the ones that braved cold temperatures and hot gyms to cheer on all the sports teams, whether they were winning or losing, and genuinely cared about the image and the people of Aurora Central High School. - Chris Gallegos Sophomores 189 ,iilz I ,:x, f Mark Busnardo A Q. . at C Q A T 'ls tw, James Byfom ii ' . if Taunie Cable L .

All the games took place in heatridge at the Sports-o- ima indoor soccer field. The ason started in mid-November d continued through the end of nuary. To play in the ten game is playoff season each team ,id 3400. The game of indoor soccer is similar to outdoor soccer th a few exceptions. There are five players on the field plus the goalie instead of 11. Rather than having boundary lines there were walls to play the ball off of. lf the ball hit the ceiling or nets above the walls, the opposing team got five seconds to take a free kick. There were no offsides and if the ball was kicked in the air over three quarters of the field, a three lines penalty was called and a free kick was award- ed. Because of their similarities, many used indoor soccer to keep in shape, perfect basic skills, and learn to work as a team. Sopho- more Marcus Reddick said, As the season progressed I could really see us playing as a team rather than a bunch of indivi- duels. The season was a good time for redemptlon, said senior Chris Daws. After not having as good a season as we had hoped in the fall, we had something to prove to ourselves and the teams we'd been beaten by. However, the major reason participants played was for the fun, excitement and new exper- ience. - Linda Young Sophomores 191 Toby Dunlap Kimberly Eastman Michael Ebuna Charles Edson Lisa Edwards Jenniler Ehlers ,gf 'rr H .wt ff1,- is .

In that two minutes, one could see students dashing through the halls as administra- tor, Fred Collins assisted. As soon as the final bell rang, those students not in class were lined up against the wall in what Collins called Operation Flake. Collins utilized this operation every period, everyday, for about two weeks. The first time one was lined up, his or her name was tak- en down and parents were called. If caught a second time, the student was to report to the lecture hall for detention. Den- tention doesn't change my atti- tude toward tardiness, instead it creates a rebellion within, which is reflected in my attitude to- wards Aurora Central, said Sen- ior Michael Cannon. lf a student is not prompt on arriving to class then we are fail- ing in our job too, said Collins. - Lisa Landis Kimberly Harrison Tonya Hartman Felicia Hazel Corey Head Julene Heokel Audrey Heitkarnp Michael Henderson Lee Henry Anthony Herron Nina Herson Shawn Hileman Steve Hill George Hine Michael Hinton Tommy Ho David Hodges Angela Hogan Larry Hogan Marc Hom Sophomores 193 swim S Stephanie Howell A - , Dana Hudson 'E 1 ' K , Darrin Hudson 7' A 5 Susan Huffnagle 1, Orlando Hughes I ,, , :,::.: M6Qhan issacs X Cara Jackson Jenny Jacobs Haj - L , 5 si Q Dale James , ,,,' ft If -- Lawrence James if k bb ,..

The street, known to most Aurora citizens as 10th Avenue, has a more common name to stu- dents and faculty inside the walls of Central. This street is known as the South Side or Freak Street. The South Side was one of the quietest and least crowded areas of the school. This was one rea- son students had for hanging out on 10th Avenue. Another reason was that it was the area of the school in which administrators chose to allow smoking. Yet an- other very inviting aspect of the South Side was the fact that the John Aguiler Michelle Ahnstedt April Allen Jeanette Ames Guillermo Amezaga Amy Anderson Daniel Anthony Tobias Appel Kathy Attorelli Kim Backus Shelly Bailey Richie Bain Michael Bamburg Tanya Barker Harold Barnett Angela Barrick Matthew Basham Joel Bass Joseph Baumann Kristen Bayliss Jason Beatty David Beavers Tracy Bedore Jett Benjamin Katherine Benson Raymond Berig Makenna Berry Michelle Bires Clark Bishop Robert Bjork 202 Freshmen sun shines on students all through the day. Because of this, students could be found taking a quiet catnap between classes, or catching a few rays during lunch time. lt seemed like just because the kids onthe South Side smoked in public, that they caused more trouble. According to monitor Chris Kreitzer, however, no more trouble was caused by Freak Street than was caused by stu- dents at any other area of the school. There's no difference in any of the kids. Throughout the school, one could find many different cliques and groups. The same held true on the South Side, except that there were only three main groups: the new-wavers, the preps, and the freaks. The stu- dents seemed to be more likely to accept others for the way they were dressed. Junior, Robb Mar- tinez said, They all accept you for who you are: you can dress the way you want and just be comfortable with your friends. Even though this area has re- ceived much criticism, it really was not as bad as it appeared. -Jennifer Peterson ts- Xe - f A rrr A if fl ' 53' -I, , i ' 4' .jx TT l Q '3 - , 7 . . x 1 , sta ' ' s K 15-', V.

For 31.00, students could buy a less fancy version of the restaurant burger, or a hot- dog, with fries and a milk. A dol- lar could also buy a heaping fix- it-yourself salad. The really fussy or economis- ing people could resort to bag- ging their own lunch for having just what they wanted at just the right price. Lunch is my favorite period of the day, was a line used by all students at one time or another.

Often participants of these activities have planned their weekend around the com- mitment. Senior Tom Lord said Nights before games days are different. l go out but l must be home early.

This in- Jming energy conditioned the y people felt, looked, grew, ed, thought, and overall lived. Students and teachers, alike, ere involved in keeping their bo- es in the best possible shape ey could. Science teacher Bri- i Hunt said, Eating right is the imber one thing, then exer- se. Weightlifting was another ay for some to tone their bo- es. Everyday several students puld be found working out in the I e I '95 I wr s s X s 'lr' Q' t weight room. For many the reason was to look and feel good. Hunt said, When I'm fit I feel better both physically and mentally. There- fore, I function better, get more done, and have a better atti- tude. Another reason to stay fit was to improve in competitive sports. Sophomore Dixie Kha- dem-Ghaeini said, I look for- ward to the different sports sea- sons and doing well since I know my chances are better because of my fitness work. Along with the fitness trend came new business and products for the industrial world. Health clubs became more popular giv- ing members great facilities to work out at. Video tapes of aero- bics were at the top of the video lists. And even daily aerobic shows took up a couple of slots on the T.V. listings. Health and fitness became a revolution. The fitness trend certainly was not the only important influence on peoples lives, but the sweep of that influence was a great fac- tor in the quality of many lives. -Linda Young at if F Sk t 1 f QS I -ar ., ' , gs lk is am, X 2 S JW , 5 S X X S l R if 52?

To earn extra money, many students found part-time jobs to pay for wants as well as needs. Some students got either an allowance or borrowed money from their parents like Danielle Lear, senior, who got money from her mom by saying, Mom, can I borrow some money until I get paid, then l'll pay you back. Most parents never got paid back. No matter how students got their money, they always knew how to spend it. One of their main expenses was fun. They needed up to S5 for movies, S4 for nightclubs, money for food, and many other activities. A large part of students' mon- ey also went towards their ward- robes. With most articles costing about S30, students sometimes found it hard to buy the latest fashions. Different clothes were needed for different occasions. Shoes, costing around S40, were needed for sports and gym class, so were sweatshirts, shorts, and T-shirts that went with the shoes. New outfits were also bought for dances and other special occa- sions. Another big expense was gifts. Students bought gifts for friends, family, and other people. Every kind of present was bought, from gag gifts, which cost under S5, to Christmas gifts, which for some X I' t as , A s iw 9, 3 4. 0 X .ss . ., .5 . .- SX ix- at fi , ....,., ,....,., . .5 . 5 it on A ,, Q' gal: l 5535 X ' fi' 5- .

Most teachers had the choice of going home, or they could stay at school as much as eight hours extra. Some did this to coach teams and some did it to keep scores at the many sports events. Coaching was an everyday ob- ligation during each person's coaching season. They devoted two to three hours after school and chose to rearrange their schedule. For example, the coaches showed their flexibility during the boys' and girls' bas- ketball season by sharing the gym from 3:00 to 5:00 and from 5:00 to 7:00. Every two weeks, boys may have had it early, then traded with the girls the next two weeks, and went late. Coaching involved much planning before and during the season. A coach must have taken time to organize the season and have done what was best for the athlete to further hislher potential as an athlete and a human being. They planned practices and bus scheduling, among the other things they were to prepare. I have to plan a lot of workouts and devote my whole time, said Coach John Green. With fourteen sports and 42 coaches involve, in athletics, the coaching staff 3 Aurora Central was the ultimati in dedication. y Spending as much time a most of the involved teacher did, they showed the rest of th staff, and more importantly, th- students, that they didn't mini spending their time trying tt make Aurora Central a bette school.

Going beyond the call of dut Just how valuable were our teachers? Only a very foolish per- son would think teaching was the one and only thing they did. The fact is that whenever there was a student doing something extra for his school, there was a teach- er beside him. But why did they do it? Why would teachers, who have their own lives away from school tno kiddingj, sacrifice much of their personal time for students? French one, two, three and four teacher, Geri Dillinger, had an answer as to why she spon- sored French Club. Because I'm the French teacherl she joked. But she added I want to teach the kids more than just the Ian- guage. I want them to learn the culture as well. Algebra and Business Math teacher John McCracken had a different reply. He too did more than his teaching obligations called for by operating the score- board at all the basketball and volleyball games and at the gym- nastic and wrestling meets. I like to see what the kids are doing when they're not in the class- room. That's why I like to go to the plays and the games. McCracken summed up his feel- ings by saying, I just like to watch the kids perform. Plus when I do the scoreboard, I get 2 front row seat to watch the game. Honors English teacher Carol Miron had the most heartfelt re- sponse as to why she sponsorec the junior class. I like to be in- volved in student's activities. Il makes me feel closer to my stu- dents by involving myself in their activities. It was a great tribute to the teaching staff to find how many put in that little extra for their stu- dents and Central and how many sincerely enjoyed doing so. -Jn Billie 13.74, ,Isz . , J ,,,, .!, H fi W ,4- Johnriy Peterson, Moniter Marilyn Pettersen.

Through any festivities and celebration, Life was aware of and kept busy with prep- arations for prom, graduation and exams took first place in l.ife's priorities. To show that Central was getting better with age, a new tradition was begun. In the hours after the prom, during which teens usually went to private parties in the past, the P.T.S.A. sponsored the first After Prom Party from midnight until 6 a.m. May 26. Life was there, too, dealing cards in the casino and splashing in the pool, which was opened for the length of the party. ln the first year that seniors weren't dis- V Senior Matt Bell gives glood at tht second blood drive of the year.

Sometimes the days seemed to last for- ever, but before one knew it, a week had gone by, then a month. There was much to do for everyone. And Life kept itself busy too. There were exams to prepare and be studied for, so Life patiently restrained itself from too much activity. As little as a week before graduation, rain was in the forecast for the 31st of May, but Life couldn't let 354 graduating seniors down. The ceremonies were carried through on a sunny, warm Sat- urday. The rest of the school was busy too. There were rooms to be cleared in prepara- tion for their ceilings to be lowered over the summer. The lives of many teachers and staff members centered around packing and labeling for their last week of school. On the second to last day of school, as stu- dents beagan to take finals and clean out their lockers, the weather looked ominous, raining off and on for most of June 4th. But the final day of the 85-86 school year Continued on pg, 234 Members ol each class were pulled lrom bleachers in yet another competition in an assembly.

For some, life dwindled, but as the doors opened on June 5th, it shone brighter than ever. Life had recorded another years memories from Central's halls. These memories were not from just any year. They were from the year in which many things changed for the better, and, according to some, for the worse. During school, students cheered their hearts out for their favorite teams, all of which maybe didn't have a banner year, but they played their best showing Central's Life was getting stronger with age. The school, for the most part, did not experience any great tragedies either. Dur- ing the fall, though, there was concern when Mark Cirevello, a student in automechanics class was pinned down when a car fell down from the racks. He suffered no really lasting 1 4 -'-N '--1-nfd's injuries, but was taken by ambulance to a hospital to be checked. Close friends, and many people who may have read about him, were sometimes amazed at Senior James Conley, who had been through numerous surgeries on his heart and who was operat- ed on for yet another time this year. He recovered in time to march with his class at graduation. In the personal lives of almost 2000 peo- ple, it was undoubtedly difficult to tell what, if any, were their problems, from their faces. During moments of high emotion - wins or losses in sports, A-pulses or failures in academics and often, the scuffle in the cafeteria hall between two students - Life often careened dizzingly between ioy and despair and anger. From an outsider's point of view, seeing all this, it may not have seemed an unusual year. But to the students and staff inside of Central, it was a year of new beginnings. The school could continue with many things that began this year, many new traditions and activities. The biggest present Central gave and received was its Life, which, did indeed Begin at Thirty.
