Dedicated To Be. . , M t ' m: A typical Charter Oak student by day, an athlete or eagle scout by night. ttt n average C.O. student may not know it, but there were a few students who were in- volved in unusual if not surprising, extra-curricular activites. These stu- dents spent time to fulfill their child- hood dreams. Manuel Cid, a sophomore at CO., had been an eagle scout for l M2 years. He had worked atleast 9 years out of his life to achieve this goal which had been his life-long dream. Even though he had not earned rec- ognition from C. O. students, the United States of America did recog- nize his accomplishment. Manuel commented, Being an eagle scout has been a very important part of my life, it has taken a lot of dedication to accomplish it. .lenny Drake, a senior, had been in- volved in gymnastics for 2 years. She has already competed at the Nation- als in Belmont, Texas, June of l986. There, she competed in two compul- sory eventsf parallel bars and the vault, which just happened to be her favorite event. But being able to com- pete at the Nationals did not come easily. She trained rigorously for 20- 30 hours a week, She was helped by her personal trainer, Coach West- A cott, to do the best she possible could and even more.

Every year parents and their children disagree on how students should act, dress, and ap- but due to problems with sitting, the style quickly faded out, I like to wear mini skirts as long as they aren't too mini, because fthenj they are too revealing, said Tracy Wood. Crew cuts and flat tops have been common among football players for pear in public, ln the I950's young men preferred the more casual look.
