Ri ht, it's Bill Kurtz. Since BilFwas a sophomore, he has always been running for some kind of school office. I like getting involved with the school and people, and it's a good way to ma e sure the Activities Board is doing some good thin s, commented Bill. lt's also kim? of fun and excitin , he continued. Bill stressed the fitct that the Activi- ties Board was the center of all activities in the school, lt's like if there was a pretzel sale, it came from the Activities Board, no mat- ter who is selling it. We have to o.k. it, he explained. Aside from school office, Bill is also in Ski Club and works as a con- struction worker at McCormick Ranch after school. His main hobbies are snow skiing and kyaking. Bill could be consid- ered an expert at skiing, since he's been skiin since he was six years old. Theseitobbies may seem to be pretty expensive hobbies, but Bill as it figured out, Well, my par- ents don't pay for any of it. I save my own money and go skiing or kyaking, and I usually get discounts for skiing through the Ski Club. His future hopes are to be acce - ted at Whitman College in Wash- ington and to become a pre-med student and go on to be a doctor. Student Electionsf21

Forty-seven candidates run for office Signs posted all over the school, campaign buttons pinned on ever - body's clothes, and students walk- ing around in sandwich boards to promote candidates were some proipaganda devices seen during stu ent election week. Slogans like, Swing with lane, Vote for Wolf, and you'll have a howling time, lf vou're on the level, vote for the devil, Think Bill Kurtz and you've thought enough, and many others were some of the thought-up slogans. Competition was heavy with 47 candidates running for offices, most of them had little running ex- perience. Kim Crockett expressed er view on why there were so many candidates, I think it's either they want to get involved with the school or they want to see something get done, and the best way to get things done is to be there and help get it done! Bringing a week of excitement to a close, an assembly in the stadium gave students a last chance to re- view the candidates and make their final choices. Finally, ballots were marked, determining the following results: Bill Kurtz, President, Rhetta Ro- mero, Vice-President, Susie Wolf, Secretary and Meredith Wilson, Treasurer. 20fLlving

Transportation problem solved in various ways Morning and afternoon, many students were faced with the prob- lem of transportation. Although the buses were ridden only as a last resort, students who had to were thankful for the changed bus schedule. Last year, many bus riders had an hour wait after school, but this year the buses left promptly at 2:30. Some students lived too close or too far for the bus service, and un- less they could get a ride, they had to walk or peddle a bike. Al- though some complained, julie Tambourine said, You get used to riding eight miles a day. It was real- ly pretty nice in the mornings. The students who were able to drive, whether in the old family station wagons or their own brand new Trans-Ams, were envied by the rest. The drivers, though, had problems of their own. The traffic in the mornings was really bad, complained Allison McCrady, and finding a parking place was even worse. Many drivers gave up and parked in the desert across the street from school, creating clouds of dust when they left at the end of school. Rainy days were a real problem for everyone. Some students who walked had to cross the flooded dike. Aside from using a raft or building a bridge, the only way to get to school was to go a long way around and be tardy. Many had someone drive them to school, making traffic worse than usual. Happily, these rainy days were as few and far between as you would expect in Arizona. Whatever the way they found, nearly everyone made it to school on time. 22fLiving - 1 , 1 '-T' E l - Z ' l l g tilth ,, fastest! rllltlt HQQL ..,. ll' . it T . ll tj'P7., ii' ..... ... gy ...yin V, , A - . 5 -. 4,,,. w - . 51 L. 5 . g f- 't '1 i! fQ:'el'fS3 3 -1 am' f' f , W? .ti NSY' A F3 ia vf5 21 z?'f' ' ' ,gf tv ,',i a -l- 4 - V A .
