This year was characterized by a change in the administrative heads as well as their new school policies. Although these changes were at first greeted with apprehension, stu- dents accepted them and made them work. We have tried to convey this attitude of coop- eration throughout this book.

AQUA CLARA 1984 CLEARWATER HIGH SCHOOL 540 SOUTH HERCULES CLEARWATER, FL 33546 VOLUME 68 ■ v 1 (■TV l”-k Falling In Line with new school policies kolicies and procedures — two words pounded into the brains of students and faculty alike the first week of school. With Bill C. Williamson as the new principal, John McLay and Curtis Geer as assistant principals, and Robert Clark, John Nicely, and Sadie Brown as the new deans, changes in school policies and procedures were inevitable. “No going off campus” finally became more than just words as deans and campus cops pa- trolled the school grounds throughout the day. “The new closed campus policy is very effective. None of my friends go off campus for lunch any- more, and bagel runs are unheard of,” stated junior Christine Crochet. Another heavily enforced policy required students to have a hall pass in hand when out of class during a period. No longer were students able to lazily skip a class while slouched on “jock wall.” “No shorts” was a new school board rule. However, students received a break from this rigid policy when, due to air-conditioning malfunctions in the gym and auditorium, Principal Williamson suspended the no shorts rule temporarily. “Some classrooms are freezing even in summer, but most of them still get pretty warm. Shorts are a real luxury,” commented senior Carey Webb. Another welcomed policy was the creation of a “seniors only” section of the cafeteria. The old time out room became a luncheon spot jealously guarded by upperclassmen and one of the few remaining senior privileges. As school spirit revived and pride in the new image of CHS grew also, students began to appreciate the changes. The year was tough at first, but without a doubt, we made it work. ▼ 2 Opening Students learn to live WE MADE IT WORK Opening 3 Seniors only is the law in the old time-out room — the new senior cafeteria.

Opening 5 Making It Sparkle School building receives total makeover to fit its new image A s the sultry days of summer drew to an end, essays, books, pencils, and exams once again crowded i beach, parties, movies, and vacation out of students’ memories. Apprehensive freshmen and confident seniors brushed against each other in the crowded halls, all wondering what the next 180 school days had in store for them. To all returning students, it was apparent that the school had not lain dormant during their absence. Lockers sparkled with their coat of crimson, travelers of E and F wing could actually see where they were going because of the new lights, and the entire building shone in its scrubbed and painted appearance. Even observant motorists driving down Gulf-to-Bay could see an aspect of the school’s new image — a modern marquis donated by the Key Club. When school began on August 29, the marquis read, “Clearwater High School — the finest in Pinellas County,” and the improvements in the building and in the attitudes of its students proved it true.

S in the Good Old ummertime After that last exam is taken - here comes summer by Sue Espey A s soon as the last exam was taken on June 6th, students’ thoughts im- mediately drifted from biology to the beach. Hitting the sparkling sands of Clearwater Beach was foremost on most people’s minds. Groups of teenagers piled into their cars, equipped with suntan lotion, towels, sunglasses, and a portable radio. These sun wor- shippers headed for the beach with dreams of acquiring a gor- geous tan. Teens also found the beach a good place to meet their friends. “I think the beach is the best place to get together with friends and spend the day, especially during vacation,” said Kurt Wyland. While walking down the beach, people ob- served the beautiful boats that sailed just off the shore. Many students took advantage of the op- portunity to participate in water sports such as sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, and jet skiing. Senior Scott Zebny, an avid sailing enthusiast, stated, “I can’t understand the mentality level of someone who lives in Clearwater and doesn’t enjoy doing things in- volving the water.” Though summer sounded ex- citing in some ways, to many peo- ple who participated in fall sports, it was filled with long, hot, vigorous practices. Troy Rad- cliffe, a swimmer, said, “We had to swim very long and hard prac- tices everyday because the swim season was so short this year. If you wanted to do your best, you had to swim over the summer also.” In addition to practicing, groups such as the band and the cheerleaders had to prepare for camps, but their long hours and hard work paid off in winning teams. For others, summers’ time was passed by working at jobs, going to camps, or taking family trips. Susan Shoaff said, “I worked forty hours a week all summer to earn money for college, etc. I really didn’t mind because I had weekends off for the beach and I made a lot of money.” Many special events occur every summer, and on August 15th, Clearwater High was very cont. Windsurfing is a popular sport around the Clearwater area. Many windsurfers can be found dotting the shores. Many people find the beach a good place to relax. Leslie Staskal and Joy Williams spend their time lying on the sand at the Palm Pavillion. Many students enjoy spending their summer days at south beach. Rob Stewart, Steve Parks, and Tiffany Eaton try to get a tan before school starts. 8 Summer C. Blyshak The sun setting off the beach is a beautiful sight. This sunset was the last sunset of summer vacation, and remind- ed everyone that another school year was about to begin. The third week in August marked the beginning of football practice.

Two On August 15th, many bands came to participate in an boats sail through the waters off Maderia Beach. International Band Festival including bands from as far away as Canada and England. Summertime fortunate to host one very exciting event — an international band festival. Bands from as far | away as Canada and England came to Clear- ? water to participate. “I was very impressed with each corp’s members’ sense of self-discipline,” said Jennifer Hodge. Clearwater was greatly honored to have hosted this event, and without the influence of Mr. Smith, director of Suncoast Sound and the CHS marching band, these bands would not have come to Clearwater. “I was very pleased to see the interest and support of drum corps in Pinellas County,” replied Mr. Smith. So as exams and graduation approached, stu- dents had many things on their minds, but the main thing was anticipation of that good old summertime, y Water sports are very popular among many people.

The health kick hit everyone with a bang. In previous years, students had gorged themselves on pizzas, cheeseburgers, and M M’s, and it finally added up. Everyone start- ed worrying that their contemporaries would start commenting on their weight gain or, worse yet, the opposite sex would be uninterested! So the students started looking for new diet and exercise programs. Exercising came in many forms. A few of the favorites were running, swimming, and a rela- tively new favorite, weight-lifting. In order to become physically fit, students initiated new ex- ercise routines into their daily schedules. Simi- larly, PE classes offered weight-lifting and aero- bics to students. “I bench press, do leg lifts and 50 sit ups daily. It makes me feel better about myself by helping keep me in shape,” Jo Mac- Nutt commented. Like Jo, other students real- ized that they didn’t have to be on the track team or swim team to get into shape. Senior Mike Manfred exercised three times a week by doing push-ups and sit-ups, and he jogged four miles on the weekends. But he add- ed, “I get most of my exercise when I go to work. I’m a cook at Howard Johnson’s, and I have to lift heavy boxes off the trucks.” In order to become smart about physical fit- ness, students started reading books, talking to people knowledgeable about physical fitness, and watching Jane Fonda do stretching positions that a chimp couldn’t get into. Many spa direc- tors and teachers could offer valuable advice to teens wanting to become more physically fit. Confident that they were losing weight and becoming more physically attractive, students began to have a better image of themselves. Their efforts proved that “thin truly was in.” T Jamie Spencer, director at the Clear- water American Fitness Center, of- fered this advice to eager young health nuts of America: 1) Set a desired weight goal. 2) Regulate eating times. 3) Allow 20-30 minutes after each meal for your system to register full. 4) Avoid snacking between meals. 5) Eat a given amount of food from each of the 4 food catagories each day. 6) Exercise for 30 minutes each day. 7) Stay away from fad diets, and diet and exercise in moderation. 12 Physical The new weight room above the locker rooms gives both girls and boys the opportunity to lift weights.

You’d never catch me wearing something like that!” How often has your best friend whispered that to you? Yet you could almost bet you would eventually see her wearing something like it. For in the world of fashion, when a new style first came out, some people could never picture themselves in it. But as more peers arrived in these fashions, many people decided to go along with the crowd. “Anything was in — everyone wore what they felt comfortable in,” said Dawn Varner. The vogue look intensified with the growing Many new styles are found among the halls. Maria Angelou likes the oriental letters on clothes, depicting the gaining influence of Eastern culture. popularity of mini-skirts, which were often worn with pumps. Shirts sported bandanas. A chic trend arose with clothes bearing Chinese designs and lettering. Another unique fad evolved from the movie “Flashdance.” Teens cropped old sweatshirts off at the sleeves or purchased bright sweats bearing such slogans as “Dancin” or “What a Feeling”. The traditional preppy look epitomized by Izods and topsiders remained a favorite. To sur- vive the summer’s sun, surfers adopted bright, bold shorts and T-shirts promoting their sport, which proved to be cool attire for beating the heat. Camouflage pants also hit as a rage, espe- cially among guys. Punk and new wave continued as a very trendy look. From their distinctive clothes and short-cropped hair styles to buttons bearing the names of their favorite bands, new wavers ex- hibited their love of exotic styles. Muscle T-shirts, especially those of music groups, were another craze. Although males were not permit- ted to wear sleeveless shirts, they circumvented the rule by layering them over other shirts. Regardless of whether clothing styles were simply fads or here to stay, everyone found something suitable for him. y r - Beach wear is another favorite style of many people.

The cheerleaders really help out at the pep rally to get people fired up for the upcoming Countryside game, while the eager fans respond. 16 Spirit Football games are a great place to meet friends. People get rowdy and show their spirit for their team at games. Some people even brought mascots such as birds and red and grey pom poms to help cheer on the team. With much encouragement at pep rallies and with the announcements in the morning, Mr. Williamson really helps promote spirit throughout the school.

Spirit ... a flood of crimson and grey in the halls on game days. “I enjoy wearing red and grey because I like to show my school spirit, and I think i t’s exciting to see everyone wearing school colors,” said Cheryl Martin. “It gets people in the mood for the game.” Pep rallies also helped get students ready for big games, such as Countryside and Largo. Tony Simotes felt that “Pep rallies are okay, but we should have had more of them, especially before the Dunedin game.” While the entire school population filed into the stadium, sounds of familiar game tunes blared from the band. The cheerleaders then inspired fans with rowdy cheers, and some lucky students were called down to the track to ignite the others. After the Tornadoettes tried out their new routine, the football team was intro- duced. Then Mr. Williamson took over the mi- crophone to encourage everyone to come and to assure them of a victory at that night’s game. At football games, fans, equipped with their red and grey pom poms, eagerly exclaimed “Go Tornadoes!” as the team made another first down. The rezoning of District 6 brought several new teams, such as Tampa Jefferson and Robin- son to Jack White stadium. Ready to face these new challengers, many things got these fans on their feet, which included the scoring of touch- downs, the throwing of mini-footballs, and the playing of “We’ve Got The Beat.” Mr. Williamson’s first period announcements greatly improved spirit school-wide. Mr. William- son never failed to report the results of a pre- vious day’s sporting events. He always found something positive to say about a team even when they lost. These announcements raised spirit in the different teams as well as in the students. Spirit meant different things to different peo- ple. But together, everyone sent CHS spirit to its new high level. ▼ M. Englander At football games, the band is a very important part of promoting school spirit. A popular song they play is “We’ve Got the Beat.”. During the pep rally before the Countryside game, football players were introduced and received bags of candy from the cheerleaders. Spirit 17 What ' s new with Teens express views on current issues by Candace Loehn W ell . . . the fated year had arrived and although we were not exactly in the situation expressed by the book, there existed a number of topics that the student body felt quite strongly about. . . .on rezoning To alleviate crowded conditions in upper Pin- ellas County schools, the school board again pro- posed transferring students living in Belleair to Largo High School. Enraged students and par- ents fought to remain at Clearwater . . . and won. “I felt that the rezoning was not going to solve the overcrowding problems in the school, and that the change would have disrupted students high school education and social life.’ — Kevin Freel . . .on raising the minimum age to see “R” rated movies A law passed by the state required movie goers to be 18 years of age before being ad- mitted into a movie with an “R” rating. “I thought if one was 17 and was at the time being admitted to “R” rated movies, and then that minimum age was changed to 18, those already 17 and seeing the movies should not be affected by the new law. It should only affect those under 17 when the law was passed.” — Vicki Rhoads . . .on the possible raising of the drinking age Many students found reason to be concerned when it was discovered that the state was con- templating raising the drinking age from 19 to 21 . “The thought of raising the drinking age is stu- pid — if it is going to be raised it seems to me that everything else might as well be raised too.” — Todd Henkel “If 18 years old was considered an adult — and drinking was an adult pastime, why was the drinking age in Florida 19 and recommended to be raised to 21 when other states had set limits at 18?” — Stacey Owens “I feel the drinking age should have been raised — maybe that way less kids would get killed in alcohol-related accidents” — Becky Perusse “I do not feel that a change in the drinking age is fair. If we were old enough to vote, be drafted, and sign legal documents, then we should have been considered old enough to decide for our- selves whether or not to drink. If they weren’t going to give us all the privileges that went with being an adult they might as well have raised it all” — Paul Hazel . . .on the new administration In an effort to correct some of the problems a CHS and to make the school better run an more organized, an entire change was made i the administration staff. “I really think that the tardy business got out c hand. The running in the halls was ridiculous. — Morris Eadd; “I felt that the rule about not wearing shorts wa totally absurd — it was appalling to me that th administration could have passed such a rule. — Mickey Blai “I thought that we should have had an opei campus. We all should have had the freedom ti choose where we wanted to spend our frei time” — Connie Jame “I felt that the school went through a lot o changes and that most of them turned out fo the best. I think that the new administration ha done a great job.” — Ben Branar . . .on school dances Student government really tried to please al the students. They held dances on every possi ble occasion, including the Superbowl, (signify ing the end of exams), Valentine’s Day, ant Homegoing. ▼ 18 1984 With the new school year comes changes of rules, regu- lations, and administration. Assistant principal Curt Geer reminds students of the time remaining before the tardy bell rings. At the January 25th School Board meeting deciding rezoning, many crimson-clad Belleair parents fill the board room to protest the proposed transfer of their children to Largo High. While celebrating the end of exams at the Superbowl dance, Diane Johnson and Sheila Furton pass the time by jokingly dancing with each other. To keep up with what might be occurring in the world, Eric Egdorf reads a copy of George Orwell’s 1984. . . . on 1984 B ig Brother is watching you? Have some of Americans deepest, darkest fears, mirrored in George Orwell’s warning to mankind 1984, shown their faces on our planet in this prediction of doom? Tens of millions have read it, in 62 languages. It is the story of Winston Smith, a minor bureau- crat in the totalitarian state of Oceania. There exist only two other superpowers, besides Ocea- nia, and war among the three is constant. The patterns of hostility and alliances keep chang- ing. There exists no such thing as privacy — everything is monitored — even one’s very thoughts. There are no relationships — babies are born at the bottom of a long glass tube. Has the Orwellian theory come to pass? Are we heading toward the way of life he suggests in this novel? “I don’t think everything said is going to become Orwell reality but some things have — There are major super powers now, test-tube babies and some censorship. If something as major as what Orwell warned of is going to happen it would have happened already.” — Ben Branan “I believe in a sense that the government has in fact taken on the role of ‘big brother’. Since Orwell’s time, the prejudice against communism has grown with the common people, but year by year the government regulates more of the American middle class citizen’s life.” — Arlene Collette “None of it is really valid or probable because most Americans are too free-willed and would not tolerate a world such as he explained. They would rebel against it.” — Paul Hazel ▼ 1984 19 S. Espey What ' s These machines make the complex simple NEW WITH.. by Lee Meddin and Sue Espey P eople play games on them. Tron races in them. Students do homework with them. Professionals manage businesses with them. This story was word processed on one of them. What is the magical wonder that can perform so many amazing tasks? It’s the microcomputer, of course! These small, desk top and portable computers performed many tasks which were beneficial to almost every one of every age. Students used these microcomputers for many purposes, ranging from education to recreation to making money writing their own programs. Mike Meehan, a junior, wrote game programs and sold them to software companies. Hands-on training was available at school in the computer math and data processing classes. In the computer math classes, eleven microcom- puters were available for students’ use. Mr. Mi- chael Way, teacher of computer math, remark- ed, “This is one of the most beneficial classes for any student to take. In this class, students learn how to use the computer and write their own programs.” Computers at school served students’ needs in many ways. In the guidance office, students found they had the option of two computers to use. The CHOICES computer helped students make career decisions. Students first went to Mr. Napier and filled out a CHOICES booklet. Then they entered that into the computer, and out of 956 careers, all but 20 to 25 were elimi- nated. The Guidance Information System gave out all information on 1,775 four year colleges, 1800 two year colleges, 1500 graduate schools, and 875 different careers. Roxanne Robbins stated, “As a peer facilitator, I occasionally help students obtain college and career information from the computers.” Computers were located virtually all over the school. One in the dean’s office kept attendance records. Schedules were stored in the records office. Activity director, Mr. Harold Reddick, used his Apple lie computer to make his compli- cated job easier. Aqua Clara even purchased an Apple lie to help with bookkeeping. Jordan Knurr, a junior said, “Two years ago my father bought a computer to help with the household financing. Until recently, I had never really used it or had an interest in it. Now I use it almost daily for games, math homework, word processing, and writing my own programs.” A new club was even formed by Mr. Anderson for Commodore computer users. Members of the Clearwater Commodore Computer Club ex- changed information and programs on the Com- modore computer. They compiled a user’s group tape library and hoped to plan and write other programs. Computers suddenly became a thing of the present, not of the future. More and more stu- dents and their families had purchased comput- ers for many different reasons. From word pro- cessing an essay to keeping track of the ac- counts at a major bank, computers performed simple and complex tasks which eased the lives of all who utilized these wondrous machines. Aqua Clara uses their new Apple lie for bookkeep- ing, indexing, and processing stories. Sonja Davis inputs records of yearbook sales. 20 Computers C. Thompson For a job well done or just to show friendship, students often express their feelings openly. Keith Owens and Terry Griggley psych each other up for the Homecoming game. Demonstrations can often be humorous or fun. Todd Mers looks overjoyed while helping Jim Gibbons cook for his public speaking demonstration. tk ■££ Always popular with students, debate teacher Mr. A.J. Anderson often tells his classes jokes without getting re- sponses. Ajr r Showing It Off In different ways, people show their characters L. Meddin by Sue Espey H appiness, surprise, sadness, frustration . . . just a few of the emotions felt by students everyday. All people found ways to express themselves For every different emotion, students showed what they were feeling, and everyone revealed themselves differently. What students wore expressed their personal style. A “U2” button signified appreciation for that particular music group, while an oxford and penny loafers usually meant a preppy status. “I like to dress different ways, and not the same style all the time,” said Julia Holmes. ‘‘Mostly I dress how I feel that day.” The band and choral groups were outlets for students to demonstrate musical abilities. Long hours of practicing often warranted tired faces. But the joy of creating beautiful music was seen to be worth the effort. Various sports and clubs provided means for students to show abilities and fulfill interests. “Playing football has been a rewarding experi- ence for me,” said Jerold Miller. “Sure, I get mad sometimes. But the feelings 1 get when I do something good or when we win the game make up for it.” Involvement in such organizations al- lowed freedom of expression . . . frustration at missing the well-thrown pass; disappointment at not being elected treasurer of the math club; singing your solo off-key. Feeling such emotions was a natural part of a person’s life. Whether students failed a test, got nervous about reading a report in class, or felt happy because it was Friday, there was an abun- dance of opportunities to exhibit what they were feeling.

Anticipation mounts as Homecoming Week’s festivities prepare students for the big night by Sue Espey W hat other time of the year can you find students dressed for the beach, people coming to school before the sun comes up, and toilet paper and balloons filling the halls? No other time but Homecoming, the time when floats, spirits, and hopes are be- ing built. Balloting for the Homecoming court took place the week before Homecoming, and the semi-finalists were introduced before the crowd at the pep rally for the Jefferson game. Students then voted for the final court representatives. As people arrived at school the following week, November 7th through 11th, they discov- ered many of their peers wearing bizarre types of clothing. Monday was New Wave day, and teens wearing garbage bags and silver make-up were seen. Tuesday hosted Tacky Tourist Day, and Imitation Day was Wednesday. Well- dressed students showed up for Thursday’s So- phistication Day, and on Friday, Spirit Day, red and grey clad students roamed the halls. Throughout the week, clubs were busily pre- paring their floats. Many large chicken wire structures filled garages as people stuffed the tiny holes with napkins. Others painted signs and put together other decorations for floats. “I worked on Key Club’s tornado until 7:00 Wednesday and Thursday. It was tedious work, but it was worth it to know I helped the club,” stated Janene Whitman. Preparation for the big event peaked with the hall decorating competition. “I got to school at 4:30 in the morning to help Latin Club win the hall decorating contest. It was fun to show spirit this way, but I was totally exhausted by the time I got home from the game,” said Lori Brown. Both clubs and classes filled every inch of space in the halls with posters, foil, streamers, bal- loons, and toilet paper. The Latin Club and the Senior Class tied for first place in this competi- tion. For many people, the building up to Home- coming was just as important as the night itself.y Senior Homecoming court members Mahi Gelep and Laurie Frank, with their escorts Jeff Cesta and Jimmy Harri- son, are introduced at the Jefferson game pep rally. 24 Homecoming:Preparation Decorating the south wall of the library, this Key Club poster displays some of the true spirit of Homecoming.

The night before the big event provides laughter, spirit, joys by Roxanne Moshonas There else could one see the Dating Game, be entertained by Banana Man or watch an Indian get shaving- creamed? Tornado Tales, of course. The night before Homecoming, traditionally called Tornado Tales, was filled with clubs’ skits rendering their interpretation of the Homecom- ing’s theme of “Flatten the Featherheads.” “Flatten the Featherheads” referred to the vic- tory over the opposing team, the East Bay Indi- ans. Scott Sheplak, president of S.G.A., emceed the evening, occasionally throwing in puns that got the crowd groaning. He said, “I tried to add a little humor between skits with my jokes, like my Math Club joke: What’s African drum music? Logarithms! I think the evening turned out well, and everyone had a good time.” All the clubs that participated worked hard on their skits, some of which had the crowd in stitches, while others brought moans from the crowd. The winning skit, performed by Interact, was a humorous spoof of the old T.V. show “The Dating Game.” The girls’ cross country team acted out “Ten Little Indians”. “We started the ten little Indians skit as a joke; we weren’t going to do it,” said Roxanne Robbins, “But we did and won second place!” Eleven organizations in all participated in Tornado Tales. In between the skits, sports teams were intro- duced and court nominees were announced. The crowd began to squirm in anticipation of the main event — the announcement of the court finalists. One freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors and seven senior girls were chosen for the Homecoming court. The queen, however, was not to be announced until halftime of the Homecoming Game. Tornado Tales provided an exciting prelude to the climax of the football season — Homecom- ing. Homecoming: Tornado Tales 27 HOMECOMING The final wind-up of Homecoming week is the annual dance.

Sunday is crowned queen at halftime of the Homecoming Game. S hifting uneasily in her seat, the senior Homecoming finalist reflected upon all the previous years when she sat in the stands watching the game and other festivities of past Homecomings. Now her time has come, her dream of being on the court was fulfilled, and she wondered who would be selected queen to- night. Anticipation — everyone who participated in Homecoming felt this. Semi-finalists hoped that they would be chosen for the Homecoming court, and finalists wondered if they could possi- bly become Queen. Laurie Frank stated, “It was a new experience for me since this was the first year I was on the court. It was exciting to find out who the Queen was going to be and being close to her when they called her name.” Sunday Steward was the lucky one to be named 1983 Homecoming Queen. Since the time of the parade was changed to before the game, everyone who went to the game was also able to enjoy it. “I think changing J the parade increased school spirit,” said David | Crandall, “but I feel that it shattered the impor- tance of Homecoming from the city itself.” Nine different groups entered the float competition, and the Junior Class won it for the second year in a row. While three parachutists glided into the middle of the field, the floats and the court mem- bers in convertible cars all circled the track slow- ly- At half time the girls all got into cars and drove around the track to be introduced. After walking through the R.O.T.C. honor guard, each girl lined up on the track and waited for the big moment. Then Sunday’s name was announced, she was crowned, and she was driven around the track again. After the Tornadoes victoriously massacred the East Bay Indians 60-0, students went to the gym annual dance. For their $2.00, the 650 students who attended received their money’s worth of food, great music and a well-decorated gym.

He cleared and set up tables at this exclusive club for two years, 9 and made a good salary, including his tips. Den- I nis Blume, another senior, found a job working in the kitchen at Clearwater Community Hospital. As a dietary aide, he cooked, cleaned, and put together special meals. Jobs didn’t come as easily and conveniently for many teens. David Knight, a senior, had to travel to Brandon to work as a locksmith. Through participation in DCT, David left school after fourth period and drove to Clayton Plaza Lock and Key, owned by his stepfather. “I want to go to ITT, and by my work, I am gaining experience in dealing with all types of people, which will help me adapt better in the business world,” David stated. Many students were in need of a job, and had to look hard to find one that suited their needs. They had to consider wages, hours, and type of work to be done. But most people found some- thing to make them work and enjoy their jobs, y Jobs 31 J.

What was the event that found the people wearing these strange items, filling up hotels, air- lines, and streets in the Tampa Bay area? Super- bowl XVIII, of course. The match-up between the defending cham- pions, the Washington Redskins, and the Los Angeles Raiders brought many northerners to Florida seeking a warmer climate. Those who arrived early in the week were generally disap- pointed by the cold, rainy weather. But by Janu- ary 22nd, the sun was shining over a warm Tampa Stadium. During the week preceding the Superbowl game, hotels in the Tampa Bay area were filled to capacity, stores held “Super Sales!”, and bars and restaurants had Superbowl parties. Steve Eigenmann said, “I was at a party and it was great. I was for the Raiders all the time.” Howev- er, Marcus Christian, felt, “1 didn’t like the game myself, because the Raiders won.” Concerts, parades, festivals, and contests (such as winning a date with Patrick Duffy, Bob- by Ewing on TV’s “Dallas”) were held around the Bay. Other visiting celebrities included Bob Hope, Jane Fonda, Susan Anton, Dan Rather, Tom Landry, Ted Kennedy, Governor Bob Gra- ham, Jesse Jackson, Lt. Gov. Robert Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Pat Boone, John Denver, and Barry Manilow, who sang the national anthem at the game. A major aspect of the Superbowl was the economic benefits it brought to Tampa Bay. Ven- dors sold miscellaneous paraphenalia like T- shirts, hats, and mugs. Bay area businesses, ho- tels, and restaurants made profits far above the norm. Individuals known as scalpers made out- rageous profits selling game tickets, some for as high as two or three thousand dollars a piece. Other folks in Tampa offered rooms or whole houses for rent for as much as a thousand dol- lars. Some arranged house swaps, and adver- tised in newspapers in Washington and Los An geles. Before a sellout crowd of 72,920, the Raiders romped on the Redskins 38-9. The NFL champi onship game spanned four hours beginning a! 4:30. Included was a spectacular half-time show put on by Walt Disney World. Some local high school students even participated in this ex travaganza. Pat Summerall stated, “If they love us wher they leave us, they’ll be back.” Tampa Bay citi- zens hoped that tourists would make the area i vacationing spot, and also had high hopes foi future Superbowls to return here. With Superbowl XVIII recorded in the history books as an all-around success for the Bay area football fans and businesses alike looked for ward to the next big event to be held in Tampt Bay this July — the USFL championship foot ball game.

He’ll try again later. A date. One lousy date, he keeps telling himself. He tries again. She answers. His voice quivers as he asks her if maybe, if she wasn’t busy, they could go see a movie. She says yes. He hangs up as quickly as he can. On no! What movie? Something funny? romantic? scary? Maybe they’ll see something neutral like Snou; White. The big night arrives. He takes two showers.

Stu- dents loved to dance, but there was no place for them to go to enjoy this activ- ity. They tried to get into bars, but were hin- dered when the police prevented their entrance. Eventually, students came to a dismal realiza- tion that they were doomed to endless movies and dull parking lots. With this dilemma in mind, people began looking for alternatives, but they didn’t know exactly what they could do. They thought back to when they were teenagers and what they did for fun. It dawned on them that they used to go dancing in “non-alcoholic” places. An idea mate- rialized and the creation of a “non-alcoholic bar” for teenagers came about. For three dollars, kids could dance, socialize, and eat. This unique place was named “The Cavern.” Adults wondered if kids would accept a place with no booze, especially since it was on U.S. 19 in Tarpon Springs. But the place and the idea were a hit. Everybody loved this new con- cept: a spot for teenagers to go, meet others their own age, and have fun. “It’s fun because it gives you a place to social- ize with your friends out of school,” said Debbie Rosewater. Everybody needed a place to “hangout.” Adults had bars, children had roller rinks, and now teenagers had The Cavern. Adults had be- come more aware of young people’s needs. In turn, teens showed they wanted good, clear fun. T Purchasing a Coke to cool off with, Pam Trizis then talks with a friend. The Cavern 39 S.

Free hours, plentiful in earlier years, vaporize by Roxanne Moshonas S pare time. Yes, you remember that pre- cious commodity from your freshmen year, before joining a publications staff, getting that part-time job and joining all those clubs. Privacy. That miniscule amount of time you get to spend alone to sort out the day’s thoughts. Spare time and privacy played large parts in the average high-schooler’s life, sometimes vital to his sanity. Spare time found on weekends, vacations and squeezed between homework as- signments was spent in a variety of ways. Often students took advantage of the time in the pur- suit of hobbies. Andrea Daly spent her week- ends horseback riding. “I was really brought up into riding. My mom rode, and I used to show horses when I was little. I just started seriously riding again about eight months ago, and I love it.” Time on weekends also found students flock- ing to the beaches, malls and shopping centers. A few unlucky students spent their time in the library writing essays and researching papers. “It got a little hectic at times with my A.P. Eng- lish and A.P. History papers. I spent a lot of time at the library,” stated senior Eric Meyn. Privacy, that all-important bit of time stu- dents found to be alone was increasingly hard to come by. They tried to grab quiet moments of solitude whenever possible — time after school, a solitary walk on the beach or a few moments at home while everyone else was out. Tina Brown commented, “I only have one sister, but it’s nice to escape into my room sometimes, and just play the radio or think”. Though it was sometimes evasive, students made the most of any spare time they found, whether they used it to catch up on some shut- eye or just hit the beach. ▼ Spare Time 41 S.

Goes On come to the Bay area By Roxanne Moshonas Y ou’ve been sitting here for six hours. You’re hot. You’re sick of waiting. How much longer? Is it all worth it? It’ll be at least two more hours before it starts. The mob is quickly becoming larger and more brutal. Peo- ple are killing time by playing frisbee or having paper cup and ice fights. You resign yourself to waiting just a little bit longer . . . This was often the scene at outdoor concerts, popular in fair weather Florida. Perhaps the biggest outdoor concert event of the season was the appearance of the Police, the Fixx and the Animals at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando on October 22. Serious concert-goers didn’t mind traveling the extra miles to see the Police. David Tennian commented, “The distance didn’t mat- ter, I had decided if they were in Florida or South Georgia, I’d go.” Concerts were always eagerly anticipated, and afterwards they provided topics of conver- sation. The concert-goer could rattle on for hours in detail about the awesome concert the deprived listener had missed. Hard rockers who came to town included Lo- verboy, Cheap Trick, AC DC, 38 Special with Joan Jett, Pat Travers with Kiss, and Van Halen. For music lovers of different styles, Styx, Men at Work, Genesis, Jimmy Buffett, Adam Ant, and Kenny Rogers were on hand to entertain at the Bayfront Center or the Lakeland Civic Center. “I like different kinds of music and I go to as many concerts as possible,” said music fan Sa- brina Sweeney. The coming of the Superbowl to Tampa, brought many top-name performers. Stars such as Frank Sinatra, John Denver and Lou Rawls headlined at pre-Superbowl concerts. For many, the drain on wallets at concert time prevented would-be concert goers from attend- ing all the concerts they wanted to see. Ticket prices average $15, and some went as high as $20. Over the ticket prices students paid a whopping $15 for a concert jersey, not to men- tion expenses such as gas and food. Though it seemed a high price to pay to see a music group perform, most students were will- ing and able to pay and walk away with smiles on their faces and ringing in their ears.T n) The Beat Many big-name groups 42 Concerts Opening for the Police concert, the Fixx performs many numbers before the Police take the stage.

Channel thirty-seven, otherwise known as MTV, showed popular videos such as Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl,” Duran Duran’s “Union of the Snake,” and many others twenty-four hours a day. MTV was just one of the many music trends added to the life of typi- cal high school students. As more and more people watched MTV, differ- ent types of music became popular. To show their taste in music, students wore buttons, pins, hats and T-shirts with the names of their favorite groups printed on them. Though rock music was still pop- ular, new wave music had taken its place in the music scene very rapidly with its combination sound of pop and punk rock. “I like new wave of the times music a lot because it is different and really easy to dance to. Not many of the songs sound similar like hard rock,” stated Amy Durkee. A big change in the music students listened to occurred when a favorite radio station of the Tampa Bay Area, 98 Rock, was changed to Z98. Though teenagers were upset with the change at first, they soon got used to it. “I like Z98 a lot because they don’t advertise that much, and they play the kind of music I like,” said Sabrina Sweeney. Radio stations sponsored concerts, contests, parties and many other activities for the public that helped to promote their particular station. 95YNF put on parties at Busch Gardens that took place at night and made all the rides avail- able for one low price. “In with the new and out with the old” de- scribed music trends that were popular through- out the year.

These may sound like the makings for a regular Friday night football game but when they came togeth- er on the night of March 2, the outcome was anything but that. The event was the second annual Homegoing celebration. Homegoing, planned by SGA, closely resembled Homecoming except that ev- erything was done in the opposite way. The evening started with the powderpuff football games, refereed by Mrs. Kathy Biddle, Mr. Mike Way, Howard Rein, and James Mclver. Each class was represented by a football team made entirely of girls who were eager to try their hand at football. The girls came onto the field with as little as two weeks of practice and went off with a few more bruises but also with the memory of a fun game. During the first game, the fans watched as the sophomores, coached by Bill Barry and Mike Reid, overcame the freshmen who were coached by Dennis O’Connor and Tim Markham. The final score was 21 to 13 in a game that lasted one fifteen minute quarter. John Peeples and Jeff Drobney made the play by play calls. Afterwards, the rivalry between the juniors and seniors was settled when the seniors trounced on the juniors by the score of 12 to 6. The game lasted two 15 minute quarters with the clock stopping only for timeouts. Tim Mark- ham and Bob Fuller were the juniors’ coaches and Reynolds Miller and Eddie Batten coached the seniors. The sidelines also called for attention as the male cheerleaders proved to be quite a bunch of entertainers. Clothed in “Get Tuxed” shirts and shorts over sweatpants, they showed that flips, pyramids, and dances were only some of the stunts they could perform. They even kept the tradition of throwing souvenirs to the crowd by tossing cooked hot dogs into the stands to the tune of “Eat It.” The hot dogs were not appreci- ated or fought over like footballs usually were, and to show this, fans were quick to throw them back at the cheerleaders. Before the fans watched the championship matchup between the sophomores and seniors, the Homegoing court was announced. The con- testants were both nominated and voted on by the students and the court was announced a few days before Homegoing night. The winners were: freshman Paul Harvey, sophomores Mark Walkup and Ricky Nickerson, juniors Tim Til- lery, Bobby Fuller, and Pepper McGraw; and seniors Terry Griggley, Steve Parks, Tom Leigh and Paul Wieczorek. Senior Chris Kuntz was crowned King by Joy Palmieri and was soon hailed by the cheerleaders. The final game was between the sophomores and seniors. It lasted one 15 minute quarter and in the end, the seniors were victorious, 13 to 6. After the games, a dance was held in the gym. It, along with the rest of the night’s activities, was well summed up by freshman cheerleader Flip Coleman who said, “It was absolutely unbeliev- able.” With this success, Homegoing was well on its way to becoming a tradition, y Though considered the lowest class, the freshmen play a hard game of football.

The climax of the high school ca- reer was at hand and seniors made the most of it. Goodbyes and tears were abundant as se- niors said goodbye to each other and to their underclass friends. The time for college, work or whatever plans they had for the future had so quickly arrived.

Change of Routine Seniors experience many changes with the new year by Nina Scott Uf ¥ ey! I’m a senior;” rang through the A A halls. Seniority of the school meant dominance and privileges. Seniors always ex- pected respect from the under- class and leniency from the teachers. Seniors were allowed to be late. Seniors got everything first. Seniors got to take a period off. Well, with the new school year came a new administration. And with that new administration came a change of routine for se- niors. Seniors expected all of the privileges allowed their preceed- ing classes. They quickly found out this was not to be. The admin- istration made changes in rules that were more or less taken for granted. Over the summer, the School Board mandated that seniors must take six classes. In previous years, seniors had been allowed to drop one class. Feelings were mixed about this new rule. “It’s really unfair because I already have more than enough credits to graduate, so why should I have to take six classes?” complained John Peeples. Though many of the seniors became upset with the new rule, £4 The new rule didn’t bother me any. If I could, I would have taken more classes. 9 9 — Neal Madden some seniors felt that the rule was justified. Neal Madden stat- ed, “The new rule didn’t bother me any. If I could I would have taken more classes.” It really didn’t bother Terry Griggley ei- ther. He said “It kept me busy.” Even though seniors were de- prived of a free period, they felt thankful that they were spared the new math and science ruling. This ruling stated that incoming juniors needed one more math and science credit to graduate than the incoming seniors. One of the biggest upsets that not only affected seniors, but the whole school, was the ban on shorts. It was no longer up to the principal to decide if shorts could be worn. A School Board ruling made shorts obsolete in all coun- ty middle and high schools. The shorts rule was bent only at Clearwater for the first few months of school because of the air conditioning failure in the cafeteria, X-wing, and the audi- torium. After the repair, howev- er, shorts were prohibited. The new administration also became stricter on the old rules as well. Closed campus was more rigidly enforced, and very few students attempted to leave campus. The penalty for being caught was immediate suspen- sion.

The cafeteria was the old time-out room and teach- er’s lounge. A big emphasis was placed on the tardy policy by the new ad- ministration. Seniors were used to heading for class when the bell rang, not being in class when it rang. Seniors learned quickly that they must be on time or serve detention. When the last vibration of the bell echoed in the halls, not a senior could be found wandering in the halls. Seniors, too used to the pre- vious administration, at first balked at the new rules. As the year wore on, however, seniors began to realize the new rules were healthy for the school. They provided a learning atmo- sphere without stifling anyone. The new administration, along with the cooperaiiun of the stu- dent body and the teachers, brought about a renewed school spirit, y 62 Seniors Scott Collins Valarie Collins Athena Constantinou Valeria Conti Clarence Coppinger Linda Costanzo Greta Cowart Debra Coyle Alan Cozart Dale Crabtree David Crandall Walter Crosmer Gordon Crossman Keith Dalton Andrea Daly The cafeteria was part of the air-condi tioning failure.

Seniors watch savings dwindle as expenses mount by Cindy Thompson UII7 here did it all lA go? I just got paid yesterday, and I’m broke today!” Seniors found that when they wanted or needed something, their wallets and pockets were empty, not even a dime to be found. Although a good portion of the seniors worked, they had little money to spend on extras. Most of their earned money, not their parents’ money, was spend on expenses for school and for social life. A big hunk of the students’ paychecks was taken out for their cars. Gas, insurance and re- pair bills escalated at an astonish- ing rate. Since payments for maintaining care of a car ranged from $30 to $70 per week, very little money was left over for oth- er activities when seniors only got paid $40 to $100 a week. Robin Harris commented, “My car takes a lot of money to keep it in good shape. I pay an average of $135 on my car a month. That’s not too easy.” In addition to payments for their cars, some seniors paid for other necessities. Some of these necessities included clothes, shoes and hair products. Paying their own way gave seniors a feel- ing of independence. Along with out-of-school ex- penses, inside school expenses had to be faced. One expense most seniors contended with was senior portraits. Bryn-Alan orga- nized pictures for the seniors. Prices averaged anywhere for $15 to over $100. “My pictures came out all right. There was room for improvement, but I pent $130 on them anyway,” said Valerie Conti. cont.

The average amount spent for the portraits by all students was $75. Cap and gowns were a neces- sity, while graduation announce- ments were an option for gradu- ation seniors. Cap and gown or- ders were taken January 30th, and the cost was $13 plus senior class dues of $2. Many seniors ordered graduation annouynce- ments. To some, this was a neces- sary investment for them so fam- ily and friends could share their graduation with them. The senior cruise to Nassau and Freeport was the biggest ex- tra activity, although many se- niors felt it was imperative. Anna DiPronio stated, “I spent over $1000 on the cruise, but I feel it was worth it. I wanted to enjoy my last year in high school.” Most of the students drained their own bank accounts to pay for the cruise. After paying for all other expenses, saving for the cruise was no easy task. They had to watch their money, or what was left of it. The responsibility of seniors to pay for most necessities was good experience to prepare for life in the money-hungry world. This good experience, though, was thought “not too good” when seniors wanted something, but faced empty wallets, y Pat Fuetterer Gigi Galliher Kim Garrison Mahi Gelep Casandra George Kenneth Griffin Jon Griffith Sheryl Griffiths Terry Griggley Teriza Gross Richard Gwynn Lance Hallmark Chris Hamlett Laura Hammett Sherri Harlan Robin Harris Vernon Hassell Daniel Hawkes Robert Hazel Wayne Heath Seniors 69 C C Nothing comes between me and my concert shirts. 9? — Paul Hazel B uttons and umper Stickers Collections amount to a matter of taste by Kelly Fleming S tamps, seashells, stuffed animals, stickers and matchbooks. They all had one thing in common. They were the prize objects of someone’s collection. As students walked the halls, their various collections were obvious. Concert shirts, 95 YNF stickers, and Adam Ant buttons filtered in and out of crowds continuously. Serious collectors of coins, stamps and rocks spent unlimit- ed amounts of time, money and energy on their collections. They often devoted entire weekends to searching through junk shops for that particular 1972 version of a Partridge Family album. Why did some students spend so much time, money, and energy on col- lecting? “Because it’s challenging and always changing. You are al- ways looking for the most unique thing, something that no one else has,” volunteered Matthew Labus. Starting a collection was very simple. It was just a matter of personal taste and preference. cont.

Or if a student loved to read, he would most like- ly take up a magazine or book collection. The majority of students, how- ever, did not collect one certain thing. They had in their bed- rooms drawers known as “junk” drawers. The drawers mostly contained old math papers, stickers of dead radio stations, souvenirs from long-ago vacations, diaries, odd pens, pencils, buttons and phone numbers, paycheck stubs, old school pictures and an assort- ment of fads long past. Students didn’t throw these things away for several reasons. The item might have had sentimental val- ue. An old boyfriend may have given his girlfriend the green and orange pencil holder that dou- bled as a coaster and crayon sharpener. It might someday come back into use or most stu- dents knew the second they threw something away, they would need it. Students also collected things such as concert shirts and but- tons. Whether it was Quiet Riot, Loverboy, Men at Work or A Flock of Seagulls, concert shirts were eagerly purchased for as much as $15 and proudly dis- played the next day for all to see. Senior Paul Hazel said, “Nothing comes between me and my con- cert shirts!” Buttons were often worn on a polo shirt in place of a logo. Ranging from faces of famous rock groups and MTV buttons to political buttons and buttons with slogans such as “kiss me, I’m Po- lish,” buttons advertised a per- son’s views on just about any top- ic. Senior Kevin Smith summed it up with, “Buttons? Yea, I’ve got ’em all” Collecting was a favorite hob- by of many students. Some stu- dents accidentally discovered they were collectors when they could no longer walk into their walk-in closets. From normal items like buttons and concert shirts to such offbeat items as perfume samples and key chains, anything was a collect- ible. ▼ Traci Johnson Anthony Jones Billie Jones Brian Jones Damon Jones Robert Jones Ruth Kallai Mike Kane Sophie Karageorge Linda Keating 72 Seniors Students’ drawers fill up with old fads and junk collected from their years in high school.

One of the most important, perhaps, was choos- ing the path to follow after gradu- ation. And for some students, an even more important decision arose — choosing which college to attend. The closer the senior year came, the harder the college- bound high schoolers pondered the type of school they wanted to attend. A large university or a small private Co-ed or single- sexed? Technical or liberal arts? Rural or urban campus? The questions boggled the mind. “After much thought, I decided I wanted to attend a smaller col- lege where you’re a person and C4l wanted to at- tend a smaller col- lege where you’re a person and not just a number. 9 9 — Jodi Johnson not just a number,” said Jodi Johnson. Many other factors besides the size of the school had to be con- sidered before a list of possible colleges could be decided on. Looking through college hand- books, catalogs, entrance re- quirements and financial-aid availability helped the baffled se- nior narrow down his choices. Expense and entrance require- ments were the biggest factors in choosing a college. Most colleges required the taking of a college- board test such as the ACT or SAT. That meant seniors had to give up a Saturday or two to take the tests. Expense of going to col- lege ranged from $1,000 a year to attend a junior college, to $20,000 a year to attend an ivy league university. “I got a schol- cont. 76 Seniors Michael O’Connor Kevin Odermatt Kim Odishoo Karen Ogden Lori Olson Les Ormanian Janet Osborne Kelly Owen Joy Palmieri Kelly Palms Linda Palumbo John Pantazes Bill Pappas Cathlain Pappas Jeffery Parker The Right Choice arship to a smaller college, but I really wanted to go to Princeton or Yale because I felt that they could offer me the kind of educa- tion I wanted,” commented Jane Williams. Since out-of-state tuition was much higher, students wanting to attend a four year university looked to the private, as well as the state universities. Cost, the most important fac- tor, weighed heavily in the deci- sion, but other benefits were con- sidered. Extracurricular activi- ties, sports, and the presence of fraternities and sororities were sometimes the deciding factors in the college choice.

Information was also obtained from visiting representatives to the school and from a college night held in Octo- ber, at St. Petersburg Junior College.

I think a mili- tary school could give me the kind of education and career choices that I want.” After a college was selected the nervous freshmen entered college.

Their hobby was literally “for the birds.” Rob- ert and Eric were austringers. An austringer trains hawks for hunting. One might wonder where someone would pick up training hawks as a hobby. Eric said, “1 saw a movie about four years ago with falconry in it. That’s how I got started.” Robert has been training hawks for about two years. ”1 just recently passed a test for a falconry permit,” said Rob- ert, “I had to have this permit before I could train the hawks.” Robert and Eric trained the birds primarily for hunting. In the fall, they travel to Northern Flor- ida where they trap the hawks. They then train the birds and take them hunting for sport in Pinellas County. “The hawks al- ways come back when we let them go to hunt because we have the food,” explained Robert. Training hawks was an art that took skill, time and patience. First, the hawk became used to having people around it. This CCA lot of people think (capturing the hawks) is cruel, es- pecially hunting with them. 99 — Robert Pea was called manning. The next step was to get the hawk to stand on the gauntlet or falconer’s glove. Sometimes this process took hours to achieve. Then the hawks were fed. After the feedings, the hawks were trained to respond to Rob- ert’s and Eric’s calls. A weighted line or creance attached to the bird formed a perch. The dis- tance was gradually increased each day. The hawks had to be fed the right amount of food or they would not respond to the calls. The last step involved in the training was taking the creance off the hawk and letting it fly free. A quarry such as rabbit or quail was entered for the hawk to hunt. Robert summed up his rea- sons for taking up falconry when I he said, “A lot of people think it’s (capturing the hawks) cruel, es- pecially hunting with them. But that’s what they do naturally. When we let them go to hunt, they’re free.” Most teenagers usually spent their free time hanging out at the beach or the mall. Some, like | Robert and Eric, spent their free time on rewarding experiences. 80 Seniors 44 The Seminoles . . . have little tradition as op- posed to the Gator football program. Seeing as FSU used to be an all-girls school, it is obvious that the football team is upholding that tradition. 9 9 — Mike Kruskos The Battle Rages On The battle of the Florida universities rages on long after the football season by Roxanne Moshonas A s summer turned into fall and football season got in full swing, rival- ries were revived. The age old fight of blue and gold vs. crimson and grey (Largo vs. Clearwater) and the Dunedin Falcons vs. the Clearwater Tornados got the ri- valries going hot and heavy. Not only did the high school football season bring rivalries, but the college football season contribut- ed its share. More specifically, the Florida-Florida State football game peaked the rivalry be- tween the two Florida universi- ties. The rivalry carried over into high school, and students proud- ly advertised their preferences. The average Florida State Semi- nole fan was armed with his gar- net and gold stickers, folders and hats, and the distinctive Florida State T-shirts. The Gator fan could be identified by his blue and orange jerseys, cups, and stickers. The assortment of ob- jects ranged so far and wide, it seemed that no two students owned similar shirts. One of the more popular shirts was the type that ridiculed the rival school. The shirts were the rival school’s colors and had such slogans as “It’s great to hate Flor- ida State” and symbols such as a Florida gator with a big red ‘X’ over it. Most opinions were formed by students whose older siblings or parents attended one of the uni- versities. Even students who pre- viously had no preference formed opinions based on their friends. Being a fan of either the Gators or the Seminoles meant always having something to talk about. When conversations dragged, the mention of Florida or Florida State was enough to insure long-winded defenses of each university. The arguments sometimes created rifts almost leading to fist-fights between friends. When asked about his prefer- ence, senior Mike Krouskos stat- ed, “This Gator team is different than all the others. They don’t choke under pressure.

Both schools are excellent universities, and I really don’t prefer one school over another,” said Dori Shine. Cries of “Gator-bait” and “FSU, FSU, where the women are women and the men are too,” could be heard at the sight of a college jersey. As long as the universities ex- ist, the rivalries will continue. As long as Florida and Florida State are around, students will profess their preference for the Gators or Seminoles. y Cliff Snedeker Lisa Snyder Laurie Soehner Rondalyn Solomon Rosamond Soulis Frank Spencer Skeet Spillane Tyler Sprayman Mike Stafford Leslie Staskal Jill Steisslinger Sunday Steward Bonnie Stewart Mike Stewart Rob Stewart 84 Seniors Florida or Florida State stickers could be found plastered on notebooks, bump- ers, walls and folders.

Everyone looks forward to them. For some first cars were little more than “heaps.” For Anthony Quillen, however, his first car was also his hobby. Anthony’s car was not handed to him. He worked for it. He al- most totally restored his 1965 shiny red Ford Mustang. “My dad bought the car about ten years ago. I got the car from him, and with my uncle’s help, I re- stored it,” said Anthony. The car was in bad condition when An- thony acquired it for $350. With much time, effort, and money, Anthony had transformed his for- mer “heap” into a classic worth about $7000. “I didn’t have to pound any dents out of the car, and there wasn’t any rust on it,” Anthony said. “It had been sitting in the garage for about five years though, and the engine had fro- zen, so I had to take it apart and rebuild it again.” “It took me about eight months to complete the car as far as it looks. I only have a few mi- nor things left to do to totally fin- ish it,” Anthony stated. “It really is an expensive hobby with the upkeep of the car and every- thing, but I’d never sell it.” Anthony belonged to the Sun- coast Mustang Club. “We have monthly meetings where we dis- cuss restoring Mustangs, keeping them up and things like that. There are mostly older people in it; not too many young people belong to it,” said Anthony. Being proud of a car was one thing, but being proud of a car one helped rebuild was quite an- other. Students spend endless hours tinkering with their cars, but few really made a big differ- ence in the appearance or condi- tion of the car.

These children usually had working parents who needed someone to look after their kids during the afternoon. The par- ticipants of this program consist- ed of eighteen children, ranging from ages two to four. The com- pensation for the services pro- vided by the center was 80 cents per visit, four days a week. The students became adjusted to the pitter-patter of 18 pairs of feet through the walkways at the start of fourth period with little effort. The kids were seldom seen without a death-grip on the hand of their favorite care taker. Although the children seemed apprehensive, they undoubtedly enjoyed themselves. The care, entertainment, and supervision of these children proved at times to be a tiresome but rewarding task. Certain tasks such as lunchtime were not to be underestimated. The kids re- quired little or nothing more from their caretakers other than the fulfillment of some basic human needs such as being loved and belonging. One of the many re- wards received by the caretakers was the innocent looks of happi- ness and contentment upon the faces of the children. Senior Lau- rie Frank said, “Each kid was unique. Some were super-shy, and others were curious and bold.” The kids enjoyed rambling about and looking through var- ious parts of the school such as the music room, art room, audito- rium and lunch rooms. At 12:30 each of the little troopers was rounded up and guided on his way back to await- ing parents and relatives. After the children departed, the care- takers returned to their regular classes. The center, through care and effort, remained as a reminder of the loss of Vicky. The program was a positive result of an unfor- tunate situation, y by Kelly Fleming and Anne Sunne I t is often said that good comes out of evil. This summer, on July 4, the theory was put to the test. Victoria Frost, who would have been a senior this year, was tragically struck down by a drunk driver while talking to a friend. The funeral came and went with everybody feeling the great loss to our school. But some people were soon going to appre- ciate a service due to our loss. People in school and in the community who knew Vicky wanted to help out her family but didn’t quite know how to comfort them or show how much Vicky was loved. So a decision was made to set up a memorial fund to help the day care center at CHS, because Vicky loved chil- dren above all else. The Vicky Frost Memorial Fund was cre- ated, and money flowed in non- stop from everybody who knew her. 88 Seniors — - y 7 - ' ■■■ — •� - — ■■ - - - — • — — ■_ - - - Dedicated to the memory of Vicky Frost, the child care center is part of the Home Economics department.

Although a small group, the ju- nior class, through work and plan- ning, made their year a success. Leading the junior class were president Arthur Kirby, vice- president Tim Littler, secretary Alisa Acosta, treasurer Heather Hicks, and advisor Suzanne Fur- ney. Although all the officers agreed that class participation was low, some felt that the turn- out at meetings and activities was better than last year. They also agreed that those juniors who did attend were eager to help with projects. “This year was a lot of fun because it was easy to work with the other offi- cers. Mrs. Furney was a big help too,” commented Alisa Acosta. The juniors began their year by selling spirit hats. They then went on to win the float competi- tion at Homecoming. Their win- ning float consisted of a tornado with moveable arms. A further money-raiser was an M M sale in April. The juniors also sold tickets to the traditional student- faculty basketball game. The money raised from these activi- ties was then used to plan and decorate the junior-senior prom. The junior class, although a small group, kept busy through- out the year and proved, to them- selves and to the school, that a smaller class can be just as good as a larger class. Pushing their way to the top, Arthur Kirby, Heather Hicks, Alisa Acosta, and Tim Littler lead the junior class. 98 Juniors Lif K“ Juniors Having three lunch shifts makes it easi- er for 2,200 students to eat lunch in a cafeteria that holds about 800 people.

The last time you wore it, you spilled ketchup all over it!” “But I let you wear my Calvins yesterday!” “That’s different!” This was, quite often, the average 6:00 A.M. conversation held by any two teenage sisters. Many pairs of brothers and sis- ters attended CHS, and in some cases it was very unpleasant to have a brother or a sister at the same school. Such was the case with Ger- main Seiss, who stated, “I hate Foe? going to the same school with my older brother Gerald, because he tells people, especially teachers, how terrible I am, and to watch out for me. This is a big disadvan- tage that most people don’t have to put up with.” This was just one of the many disadvantages of go- ing to the same school with a brother or sister. There were, however, quite a few advantages to having a brother or sister at the same school. Some of those advan- tages included having a ride to school, if the older sibling had a car, and also providing important information about teachers. Amy Zedan, who made homecoming court along with her younger sis- ter Elly Zedan stated, “I really love having Elly at the same school with me, because we have a lot in common, including band and many of our friends. I consid- er Elly one of my best friends.” Some of the luckier students were able to find a really good, or sometimes even a best friend in a brother or sister. But there were still those who tried to quickly duck around the corner when their brother or sister was spot- ted coming down the hall, in or- der to avoid the embarrassment of anyone knowing they were re- lated. ▼ Randy Chevalier Carol Childers Laura Christie Laura Clement Laura Coffee Julie Cole Arlene Collette Brian Corlett Missy Cox Steve Craig Tyra Crane Walter Crawford Veronica Creamer Linda Cribbs Carol Crochet Christine Crochet Laurie Crown Tyler Culverhouse Craig Cunningham Dawn Curls Chad Cutkomp Colleen Dalton Mark Davenport Julie Davis Jim DeCesare Mike Deguzman Kevin Delaney Tami Dennis Bryan Dennison Lisa Diaz David Dinger Roscoe Dobson Juniors 101 We all have them and we all hate them I Hate It by Candace Loehn W ho left the wet towels on my bed?!

Today students create, or design, their own class ring. The creation of a class ring in- volved a number of steps. First, the students had to decide on style. It ranged from traditional to contemporary. Signet rings were also available, and there was even a collection of rings de- signed specifically for girls. Next, the student had to de- cide on the type of metal he de- sired. The type of metal varied from 10 Karat to 14 Karat white, yellow, or green gold. For the more budget conscious, a ring was also available that had the look and feel of white gold. They also were created in a two-tone effect or a silver alloy of the plati- num family. There was a seemingly endless selection of stones and stone decorations. Birth stones, favor- ite color, or the colors of the school were a few of the choices to further personalize one’s ring. Then came the stone decora- tion. It could be an initial number, school monogram, zodiac sign or other engraving. Sometimes the side of the ring known as the shank further individualized the ring with an emblem. Interests such as sports, academics, clubs, or class pride were displayed on the shank. The final decision was the se- lection of engraving and the ring’s “palm side.” The engraving choices ranged from initials to a full name or signature in script or block. The “palm side” or bot- tom of the ring could either be smooth and sleek or a contrast to the surface. Many choices and decisions made up a class ring. Each was an expression of the personality of the student and represented his individual achievements. ▼ Krista Klaber Debi Kliesh Kathi Knight Jordan Knurr Bill Koulouvaris Diane Krutchick Wendy Kurland Raymond Kurz Blanquita Lafita Stella Lambert Jackie Lapread Kristin Larson Tim Littler Shelley Lynch David Maas Kevin Madden David Malaxos Eric Malkasian Cindy Manfred Charles Mangino Chris Marich Georgianna Marlyne Darrin Maser David Mathewson Carol Mattana David Mattatall Gina McClain Pepper McCraw Julie McCulloch Will McEuen Kelli McFarland Suzanne McKeon 7 106 Juniors : C.

Looking in the mirror, to her horror, she found that her face had broken out over night and her hair looked like she had stuck her finger in a light socket. After controlling the frizz and covering up the zits, she got dressed. By the time she got to school the first bell had rung. The nearer it got to her inter- view, the more nervous she be- came. She arrived at Happy Burger wondering what she was going to have to do for her inter- view. The minute she walked in the door, a mile long application was pushed under her nose. The questions were so personal she felt like she was applying for a job with the FBI. An hour later she found herself standing in front of the drink machine with a small cup in her hand. Then she realized that she had pushed the button marked large and the cola was over-flowing onto the floor. The manager called her over to clarify a few things on her ap- plication. Had she really lost her last job delivering pizzas because she was in an accident and to- talled the delivery car? Was she really so bad in rpath that she failed summer school even with the help of a tutor? Well, with great reluctance, he agreed to hire her. However, her new job would be dressing as a Happy- burger and waving to the people driving by. With a slight hesita- tion and a sigh of relief, she agreed to take the job. She thought to herself, “How much trouble can a Happy-burger get into anyway?” C.

Susan Honey uses these talents to her advantage in her modeling career. The search for a National American Teen Miss ends at Clearwater High School Star on the Horizon by Kelli Ruggie W hat do you get when you put music, acting, and modeling togeth- er? — Susan Honey. Susan be- gan her musical career at the age of nine. After only three years of playing the piano, she made her first musical breakthrough. Al- though she competed against several hundred college and high school students she won the op- portunity to play with the Florida Gulf Coast Symphony. “I was the youngest person to win this hon- or, so it was a very exciting expe- rience for me,” recalled Susan. She continued winning competi- tions in colleges through the State of Florida and has been featured on several television shows. Along with piano, Susan enjoyed playing the guitar and organ. Although Susan had only been acting for a little over a year, her talent preceded her. She ap- peared in several local theatrical productions. “I am taking special classes at U.S.F. to further my acting skills,” Susan emphasized. As a result of her many talents and scholastic achievements, Su- san was chosen to repres ent Flor- ida in the National America Teen Miss Pageant, in Sumter, South Carolina. A national board of di- rectors, who investigated her past achievements, chose Susan over many girls from all over Florida who were vying for this title. She won the honor of being first in the talent competition, be- ing named most photogenic, and achieving second runner up over- all. Susan’s future goals included attending Julliard or NYU. She commented, “Since acting is my first love, I am planning to major in a theatrical career. I will, of course, continue to better my pi- ano, dance, singing, and model- ing skills — you can never be too prepared in this business!!” Juniors 111 Teenboards train future models Dazzle by Christine Hill and Nina Scott A s she walked down the run- way, the lights glared on her, and the crowd eagerly watched. She snapped her fingers to the beat of the jazzy music and felt like a pro as the crowd ap- plauded. Performing in fashion shows was just one major part of being on a teenboard. Most of the large depart- ment stores gave high school girls the opportunity to be a model by forming teenboards. Along with making many new friends, teen- boards gave girls more self-confi- dence and were a good way for them to express themselves. “It’s a good way to meet people from other schools and get involved with your community as well as hav- ing a good time,” said Jennifer Bia- low. Some teenboards set up pro- grams that would help their commu- nity. Money from car washes and dues collected from the teenboard members was given to charity at the end of the year. Teenboards gave many girls the opportunity to model and learn more about self appearance, along with an idea for a future career.

Wiser, be- cause the school was familiar and the year had been planned for each student. Foolish, be- cause students were found nag- ging the freshmen. It was a new feeling when the sophomores arrived on the cam- pus the first day of school — they knew their way around. “You know the school better, and you feel more comfortable around here,” said Stacey Reed. The sophomore class officers include President Greg Mayer, Vice President Bridget Bagley,- Secretary Heather McCown, and Treasurer (not pictured) Deron Braun. The school felt just like a second home to the sophomores who at- tended school here last year. “The administration made a big difference in the way I felt after the first day of school. I felt wel- comed back and wanted,” stat- ed sophomore Dana Daniels. The administration helped to make everyone feel welcomed throughout the year. The year began more orga- nized than before. The class offi- cers were elected at the end of last year instead of waiting till the middle of November, when the freshman officers were elect- ed. The sophomore officers were President Greg Mayer, Vice President Bridget Bagley, Secretary Heather McCown, and Treasurer Deron Braun. As the year progressed the sophomores realized that they were not freshmen anymore. One reason was they heard no comments about being a Fresh- man from the upper classmen; they were now speaking the comments. David Holan com- mented, “When I was a fresh- man I told myself that when I became a sophomore I’d never treat freshmen the way I was treated. I lied!” No one liked to be picked on, but usually the newest ones were the ones to be picked on. Being a sophomore had many advantages. “I like being a soph- omore because I only have two more years till I graduate,” said Yolanda Nichols. That seemed to be the feeling among many sophomores. Krystal Prater also stated “I’m closer to graduation this year than I was last year.” Many changes were made for sophomores. Over all they were still angling toward the top. 1 16 Sophomores The disease that became an epidemic by Barbara Sloan A s old, prevalent, and in- discriminate as the com- mon cold, it stuck many high school students. It affected grades, study habits, and the cleanliness of students’ rooms. It increased the activity at the malls, skating rinks, and the beach. What was this dreaded dis- ease? Procrastination. Struck by this malady, Royce Rarick stated, “I don’t always do what I’m supposed to do immedi- ately. When I get a job, I might not finish it as soon as I could.” “When I’m told to do some- thing I look for any excuse until the last minute,” said Kelly McNeill, also a victim. Instead of doing assignments, she was often found at the beach socializing or at a Campus Life meeting. When she had a big report due in three days, Laura Perry stat- ed, “I wait till the last night be- fore an assignment is due to start it.” She was more often found out on the football field performing band routines. Niki Dishong commented, “If I really don’t want to do some- thing, I don’t do it for a long time.” Many students like Niki preferred listening to the radio as opposed to doing any form of work. “Why do work now when you can do it after 1 1 pm,” comment- ed Mark Walkup. Instead of cleaning his room he preferred to take pictures or run his daily four miles. These students, among many others, caught the disease that only motivation could cure. Other students knew the folly of procrastication.

The alternative was to conquer procrastination through plan- ning, scheduling, and budgeting. ' 4 1 rL ■I ' C m VZr 1 . — Sophomores Reading for pleasure. Dana Daniels leaves her homework for later.

Kids are always shoving money into music machines, regardless if the music is punk, new wave, pop, soul, or rock. Quiet Riot, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, and the Police were favorite groups. “Duran Duran is definitely the best. Their music is easy to listen to,” replied Allison Thomas. There was also, no doubt, a radio station for every type of music. They ranged from 95YNF for the rockers to Magic 96, which was for the contemporary y music listeners. In the past few years, the ways of listening to and enjoying the music has changed. MTV, music | television, was one of the newest ways of ‘watching’ music. “It is like going to a concert every time you turn the TV on,” stated Dawn Varner. Why do people listen to mu- sic? One of the reasons was to break the silence barrier. “When I’m home alone the radio has to be on. I have to hear some kind of noise,” stated Kelly Voras. Eric Christiansen added, “I love mu- sic, but the main reason I listen to the radio is because I hate si- lende!” “When I become uptight, an- gry, or just frustrated, I turn my radio on full blast and lay on my bed. Music keeps me from ‘blow- ing up’; it really calms me down,” stated Dana Daniels. This also seemed to be a main reason for turning the radio op. “It calms me down,” stated Karen Brown. Another reason teenagers lis- tened to music was to cure bore- dom. “I listen to music when I get bored,” commented Doug Robin- son. Jeff Anderson agreed “Mu- sic keeps me from being bored when I have nothing else to do.” Students had many different preferences when it came to choosing a certain style of music. Many found it hard to make a decision, so they just liked a little of it all! y Sophomores 121 Freetime is spent doing different things At Ease by Robin Castle and Barbara Sloan otta a minute?,” or ■ “What are you do- ing this week- end?,” were the questions stu- dents asked to find out what their peers were going in their free- time. Freetime came in many forms, from a fun minute be- tween classes to weekends and spring or winter break. Some students used their free- time either at the beginning of class or the end to talk over things that had happened to them. “My best friend is in my first period class and all we do is talk,” commented Dana Daniels. For others just seeing a familiar face in the halls happily filled a moment. “The only time I get to talk to my friends is in the halls,” stated Bridget Bagly. The mall also seemed to be one of the favorite places to spend freetime. “I love just walk- ing through the mall with my friends, looking at all the new clothes and styles,” said Laura Perry. Athletic people usually spent their freetime playing sports such as football, baseball, basket- ball, or any other sport. “I spend a lot of my freetime playing foot- ball,” commented Wes Scoirtino. Some enjoyed individual sports such as jogging or swimming. Living in Clearwater gave teenagers the advantage of sparkling Clearwater Beach. The beach provided a place to skin- board, swim or just soak up the sun with friends. It also was a weekend hang-out for many. “I love the beach. I go there night and day,” commented Kelly McNeill. Karen Valentin added, “It’s my favorite place to spend my freetime.” Other freetime activities in- cluded working on hobbies, going to concerts, and watching sports, which included the Bucs and the Rowdies games. Some sophomores didn’t have much freetime because they worked a part time job. Kelly Pruitt stated, “I have a part time job; all my freetime is devoted to my job.

Phrases one might find spray painted on Pier 60 or scrawled on a wall in a public bathroom? Actually those statements were taken from a student’s sixth peri- od folder. Most students, sometime or another, have used their pencil or pen, not to take notes, but to add a scribble to the decor of their folders. During an in depth lecture on the use of commas or the War of 1812, what student would not start to doodle on a handy folder? Sheer boredom was the most common reason for doodling. This feeling was ex- pressed by Deserie Vallerio, “Of- ten during class when I get bored, I doodle on a folder.” and Ann Sharmack, “If a class is boring I scribble all over my notebooks. I also draw all over them while talking on the phone.” Folders did more than just store paper; they because a way for people to express their thoughts, opinions, tastes, and in- dividuality. Kelly Agnew stated, “I write on notebooks because I think it tells what you like and who you are.” Jodi Steffens add- ed, “I express my thoughts and feelings on my folders.” Folders also became a place to share messages, information, and in- side jokes with friends. “I have my friends write on my folders, and, in turn, I write on theirs. That way our notebooks some- what resemble autograph books,” said Rebecca Peters. On another train of thought, Kelli McNeil observed, “People try to express their opinions by writing on things, teenagers particularly, because no one seems to listen to their opinions.” Pictures of cartoon-like char- acters, animals and even an oc- casional sketch of a teacher adorned notebooks in addition to comments. Drawing on folders provided an outlet for the artisti- cally inclined. Darrin Maser, for example gave his reason for doo- dling, “I have Engineering Draw- ing, so I doodle art on my fold- ers” Some students thought some notebooks looked too plain and needed a little pizazz. Stephanie Gerard remarked, “I think that notebooks look a lot better when they have something written on them.” Kristen Wickman echoed this thought, “I write on note- books because I don’t like them plain, it bothers me.” Other reasons for writing on folders varied as much as the people who did the scribbling. Hannele Landry stated her rea- son for doodling, “If I have a pen in my hand, I gotta use it.” Patty Lavelle, on the other hand, said she wrote on folders “because they are there!” Tom Bailey ex- pressed his opinion in two words: “Doesn’t everyone?” cont.

Boulay Write On! For the ninety-some percent of the student body who did write on their folders, what was it they wrote? No, not everyone partici- pated in writing on folders. Stu- dents often did not take part in doodling because they preferred clean, unmarked notebooks; as stated by an anonymous sopho- more, “I don’t write on books and notebooks because it makes Graffiti or what? This is a collection of students’ notebooks scribbled with their thoughts, sayings, and favorite musical groups. w CO 8 them look sloppy. I prefer to keep mine clean and neat.” More unusual responses came from Joetta Thompson, who re- marked, “If I have something to say, I say it out loud,” and Nicole Williams who justified, “I don’t write on my folders because they don’t last long enough to enjoy graffiti!” The content of folder graffiti varied. Important notes for class, messages from friends, things to remember, quotes from favorite songs, and miscellaneous draw- ings were commonly found on student’s folders. The two most popular things to write were fa- vorite groups and current roman- tic interests. David Roby stated, “I write down dates, information and groups I like. I also draw on it. It is my folder and I will do what I want on it.” Students knew that folders had more uses than just holding tests, notes, and homework. Note books became canvasses for creating masterpieces full of memories of friends and good times, y Krystal Prater Jeff Preising Scott Prince Keith Pringle Melissa Pushinsky Royce Rarick Erik Reed Stacey Reed Mike Reid Elaine Reis Tarrence Rhone Mary Rittenhouse Lyssa Robbins Doug Robinson David Roby James Rock Racheal Rodriquez Cheryl Roepke Lynn Rogers Rob Rohr Leslie Rondeau Todd Rosen Debbie Rosewater Kelli Ruggie Nancy Ruppitz Boe Rushing Larry Russell Anne Sabin Hala Salaman Monica Sampson Laura Samsel Scott Sanford 126 Sophomores Sophomores Ann Scharmack Paul Scheid Wes Sciortino Nina Scott Raymond Scott Shannon Seifert Susan Selak Gregg Sever Kristen Sevilla Chris Silcox Donna Silva Anthony Simotes Brian Slagel Amy Smith Jeff Smith Regina Smith Stacey Smith Tobatha Smith Tasha Smith Darcia Spanburg Gail Speets Betsy St. John Maggie Steiner Jodi Stephens Dawn Stiles Richard Stille Jimmer Stoffel LaFrenchie Stonom Mike Stuerman Lynn Stunbers Lisa Suarez Sophomores 127 P.

It was a girl from school who had been follow- ing him around for days. Their conversation continued. They talked about school, house chores, each one’s social life, and finally she asked him to go out with her Friday night. His reply was “yes”. If she hadn’t called him, they might not ever have gone out. “It think it’s OK for a girl to ask a guy out,” commented Lau- ra Perry. Many girls also felt the same way, but some had no guts. Susie Weiss stated, “I would ask a guy out if I had the guts, but I don’t.” Kelly McNeill added, “It is all right, if only I could get up enough nerve to ask a guy out myself.” These people believed in guys asking the girls and were not willing to break that tradition. The guys had opinions too. They ranged from “I think they should go for it,” said Dewaine Olson and Steve Gynn’s com- ment, “I see nothing wrong with it,” to “Let them, but I’ll still turn them down,” stated Scott McQuigg. Many sophomores were active in Silver Bell, a traditional dance held by PAK. This dance was an unique one, because the girls had to ask the guy and treated them to dinner and the dance. “This is my first year going to Silver Bell mainly because I did not have the courage to ask a guy last year,” stated an anonymous sopho- more. Others had different prob- lems. “If I could drive I might con- sider asking a guy out, but I don’t drive so I don’t even consider it,” said Betsy Klein. This seemed to be the biggest problem that soph- omores faced, not having a li- cense to drive. “If I asked a guy out I would be embarrassed to ask him to come pick me up, but that is what I would have to do for a couple more months. That is why I don’t ask any guys out,” said Dawn Finn. “If girls ask guys out the girl should do all the treating,” com- mented Elly Zedan. The way things were, if the guy asked the girl he was expected to pay, but if the girl asked the guy there were no expectations. “It is only fair, if the girl asked the guy out she should pay and vice versa,” stated an anonymous sopho- more. No matter who chose to stick to the tradition or who chose to break it, the students seemed to have no problems finding people to go out with, y Scott Sulkes Mike Sunnucks Mark Sutton Sabrina Sweeney Ella Swinton Teresa Swinton Nguyen Tan-Loc Alton Taylor Joy Taylor Jay TenBieg Wendy Tester Allison Thomas Mary Thomas Debbie Thompson Joetta Thompson Kelly Tomayko Sandra Turner DeeDee Tzekas Julie Uline Marie Urban Lori Valenti Karen Valentin Cindy Valentine Betty Valliantos Desreie Valloreo Dawn Varner David Vieira Eric Vincent James Vircos Amy Voras Kelly Voras Billy Vorvis 128 Sophomores Sophomores Enjoying the Homecoming Dance, Rebecca Peters and Dave McFarland sway to a slow song.

It was time to hear speeches of class of- ficers. “I was really scared about having to get in front of all those people and make a speech. I’ve never had to get up in front of a crowd that is over five hundred,” commented Amy Wilks. This tension was present in most of the people running for class officers. Weeks before elec- tion day, many of the candidates were busy preparing speeches and making posters to help them win the election. All of their hard work paid off but only four were allowed to hold office. They were: Elizabeth McArther, president; Patty Brewe, vice-president; Tammy Giroux, secretary; and Amy Wilks, treasurer. Vying for the office of freshman class secretary, Tammy Giroux delivers her speech before elections during the third week of November. Pre-speech jitters attack many public speakers.

Very excited, but scared, they rushed through the halls seeking to find their first period class, hoping that they wouldn’t be late. Feelings were mixed as the freshmen entered the big world of high school. “I thought the school looked rather big, and I had no idea how I would find my classes in only six minutes,” com- mented Stephanie Voigt. Some of the freshmen found it quite a scary experience while others considered it a usual day at school. “I was excited at first, but once I got there it was no big deal,” said Taft Flittner. Tim Wo- jiechowski also added, “I had no reason to be scared. I knew that Clearwater High was the best school around.” Besides the size of the school, the number of unfamiliar faces tended to seclude the freshmen from the upperclassmen. Sue Ro- senblum commented, “I came from a very private school and seeing all of the people here was really scary. But that’s what I really love about Clearwater High now.” Most students made it through their first day and found CHS a fascinating school.

My weekends are usually limited to where I can go because it is hard to find transportation,” com- plained Tara O’Daly. She, like other freshmen, had problems with transportation. Their forms of transportation were buses, walking, riding a bike, and parents or friends driv- ing them places. Not only was it a problem on the weekends but also for getting to and from school. The majority of the freshmen rode the bus, but there were many problems that arose. “The only problem with riding the bus for me was the bus driver always came early,” commented Tina Zahn. The other problems that arose with riding the bus were that the bus w as too crowded or the student would miss the bus and be late to school. Another form of transporta- tion was by the parents or friends who drove them to school. “My parents brought me to school so the only problem I had was over- sleeping,” stated Sherry Beader. Wendy Marich carpooled, “I was in a carpool with a group of friends which worked out fine un- less they were sick and I would have to find another way to school.” Buses and cars were not the only transportation. There was also walking and riding a bike. “Busy streets that I had to cross were a problem,” commented Cindy Walters. “Riding my bike to school was O.K. except for when it rained or I had a flat tire,” replied Kerry Griffin. Transportation for freshmen had many problems but they dreamed of days to come when they would own their own set of wheels.

We have to M 1 have two extra credits to gradu- ate?” “Why us?” “It’s not fair.” These were some of the many comments the freshmen made when they found out that they needed twenty-four credits in- stead of twenty-two. The legislation that passed this bill, which is called the RAISE BILL, thought that stu- dents in Florida did not study or learn as much as they should. They figured that adding on more classes, plus more credits, would force the students to re- ceive a better education. The opinions about this subject among some of the students were mutual agreements with the leg- islation. “I guess this year’s freshmen and the ones to follow will just have to work much harder than the ones before us,” commented Annabel Hampton. Laura Lar- son stated, “I think that it is a good idea, because it means that you will have to work harder and you will also learn more.” The majority of the students disagreed with the legislation. They also thought that it was un- fair for them to be the so-called victims. “I don’t think that it is fair. They should have left the credit system the way it was,” said David Greene. Not only did the credit num- bers to graduate change, so did the credits, for certain classes like: mathematics and science from two credits to three credits, health education, fine and practi- cal arts, which were new courses, half a credit, and instead of eight credits for electives only seven and a half. • “I don’t really approve of the extra credits that they have giv- en us, but I guess that it is for our own benefit,” said Melanie Carv- er. The opinions on this subject varied among students, but most of the students have, and will, studied harder to pass all of the necessary courses to graduate. T Freshmen 139 Part time jobs mean money to spend Limitations at 14 by Kelli Geoghegan I t was a Friday afternoon and a group of freshmen had de- cided to go to Clearwater Mall for a day of shopping. As they were walking through Iveys, she stopped to look at a pink sweater, but when she went to pay for it, she realized that she had no money. Money was a big problem for freshmen because it was hard for them to get a job. Their age was the major problem because most places wouldn’t hire teenagers unless they were sixteen. Only 8% of the freshmen were fortu- nate to have had a job while oth- ers kept on looking. “I really wanted a job so that I could earn my own money and not borrow money from my par- ents, but people won’t hire me because I am not sixteen,” com- mented LeaAnne Cozart. “I don’t like borrowing money from my parents, but I just couldn’t get a job,” commented Melanie Carver. Freshmen had been able to find jobs and earn their own mon- ey. The easiest jobs that they were able to get were working around the house, mowing lawns, and babysitting. “Babysitting is an easy job, and can also be fun at times, es- pecially with kids that are four years old,” commented Laura Larson. “I babysit from Friday night till Saturday morning, and I really enjoy earning my own money,” added Angela Law- rence. Freshmen were also able to find jobs at ice cream stores, gro- cery stores and business offices. “I really enjoy working at Haa- gen Dazs, and I feel good about myself because I am earning my own spending money,” said De- Vonna Flemming. John Blackburn stated, “I earned my own money by work- ing at Publix as a service person- nel. At times I felt like quitting, but I kept reminding myself of the money I was earning. Even though many freshmen didn’t have jobs, they managed to get money from mom or dad for life’s luxuries. ▼ Part-time jobs give students extra spending money. DeVonna Flemming works at the Haagen Dazs in Clearwater Mall after school. 140 Freshmen Freshmen plan weekend activities as an escape from school Free from by Kelli Geoghegan S ixth period on a Friday afternoon was always the hardest class of the week for teachers, because students were anxious to get started with their weekend plans. The mall, beach, and movie theatres were standard items on a weekend menu. The beach was a very popular freshman hangout. It offered ski- ing, sailing, tanning and parties. Pressure “I like spending my free time on the weekends at the beach with my friends,” stated Michelle Kackinski. Susan Coleman add- ed, “It really helps to loosen up and have some fun. Another popular place for the freshmen to go was the malls. “I go to the mall with some friends to have some fun and spend some money on myself,” com- mented LeaAnne Cozart. Many freshmen also held par- ties throughout the year. “Parties are a good way to forget about school, loosen up, and have a good time,” said Melanie Carver. Forget about school over the weekend? Never. Teachers nev- er failed to pile on the homework as Saturday approached. So some of the students’ time was spent on schoolwork. Weekends turned out to be the islands that freshmen, as well as upperclassmen, swam through week to get to. y Brett Miller Paul Miller Kim Mims Kecia Mobley Tim Molley Willie Moody Lisa Moore Owen Moore Joe Morris Stephanie Moshonas Nancy Mould Amy Mudano Ross Mullins Sherri Mullins Jimmy Murray Rima Nassar Tracey Neil Teresa Nelson Joanna Nicely Pete Noto Peter Oberle Dennis O’Conner Shannon O’Connor Tara O’Daly Sean O’Fla nnery Tammy O’Rourke Sherri Ochocki Robert Orkisz William Ott Jennifer Owen Timothy Owen Bill Pace Rebecca Palmer Richard Palumbo Chris Parady Eileen Parady Kevin Parks Greg Patterson Vance Paulett Dahryl Payne 142 Freshmen Freshmen Christine Pepin Andrew Petellat Randy Peters Tony Peterson Danny Phillips Mark Piper Michael Piper Dave Pitts Marci Poad Carrie Pomeray Jarrett Porter Lisa Poutre Mark Poutre Tonya Presti Tanya Price Tony Price Dorothy Prince Louise Prosser Casey Pruitt Laura Pyros Eric Radcliffe Gail Randall Roxanne Rarick Shawn Ratkus Sherry Reader Todd Reed Joe Register Seth Rein Krissy Reina Dennis Reynolds Jeff Richarz Shane Rippey Sarah Ritchie Debbie Roach Lynette Robbins Chester Robinson Kevin Roche Christi Rodriguez Mike Rohlfs Sue Rosenblum Malls offer students a place to spend time on rainy weekend days.

Passing notes - Is it right or is it wrong? Passing It by Karen Clemow Cindy, Hey there! How’s it going? I’m doing pretty good. What do you want to do this weekend? We ought to go to the beach! Oh yeah, guess what I heard this morning . . . T his was a very familiar sight in many classrooms. A great number of stu- dents spent much of their time during classes, not studying but writing notes to friends about the day’s events, plans for the week- end, that special guy or girl or Along just the latest gossip. There were many different feelings about whether or not it was all right to write notes to friends during class. Students usually felt it was all right if there was nothing else important going on, but teachers had different thoughts about the whole idea. “I think it’s fine to write notes dur- ing class as long as it doesn’t dis- turb the teacher or other people who are trying to work, and if it’s not during a test,” commented Laura Larson. Julie Kenton agreed by saying, “I think it’s okay, because it gives you some- thing else to do during class.” Most teachers gave the im- pression that when in a certain class, a student should have been doing work for that class, or homework for another class, not writing notes. “They shouldn’t do it and that’s all there is to it,” said history teacher, Mr. Cusmano. Mrs. Brunson, an English teach- er, expressed her opinion by stat- ing, “When someone is writing a note in my class, I feel that I have to find a way to reach him, so that he will pay attention to what is going on in the class.” Writing notes did divert a stu- dent’s attention from his studies, but for the most part, students knew when it was all right to write a note or when they would be missing out on something im- portant. y i 146 Freshmen Freshmen 147 Freshmen Pete Wakefield Christina Waldron Melinda Walker Sandi Walsh Cindy Walters David Ward Lisa Ward Jeff Warner Karen Wasilewski William Waterman Kevin Watts Karin Weber John Weidler Roxanne Wellman Christine Wentz Suzanne West John Whitaker Randolph White Janene Whitman Karen Wicker Christine Wicks David Wilber Amy Wilks Alysia Williams Doug Williams Jana Williams Phyllis Williams Randy Williamson Wallace Wilson Michael Wimpee Dianne Winslow Gary Wintermeier Ricky Wise Mark Wixtrom Tim Wojciechowski Shantel Woodward Jennifer Woolley Robert Word Jeannie Wrenn Jennifer Wyler Patrick Young Tina Zahn Earl Zona Charles Zuern French Club?

Doors slamming and a few feet shuffling in the hall were the only sounds to be heard after the loud ringing of the tardy bell. Devotion, patience, and orga- nization accompanied the com- ing of the new school year. In charge, Mr. Bill C. Williamson supported and promoted school spirit, which was reflected both in the classroom and at extra- curricular activities. “The stricter discipline makes it easier to learn in class because not as many people are goofing off,” stated Joey Griebler. Mr. Wil- liamson was often heard to say, “The cooperation from the stu- dents is overwhelming.” The new administration devot- ed much time cleaning up the school at the beginning of the summer by going over the school with a fine tooth comb. Text- books had to be ordered, pro- spective teachers had to be inter- viewed, and an administrative team plan had to be developed. The head of the administrative team was Mr. Williamson, head principal. The two assistant prin- cipals were Mr. John McLay, in charge of plant operations, and Mr. Curt Geer, in charge of cur- riculum. The team also included Mrs. Elaine Jablonski, registrar and the deans, Mrs. Sadie Brown, Mr. Bob Clark, and Mr. John Nicely. A new discipline plan was also established. A stricter policy on tardies and a change in the meth- od of getting absences excused were some of the changes. A committee of teachers, stu- dents, and parents met in July with the administration to give their input. “I believe the new discipline plan is working be- cause we won the attendance banner and plan to keep it. I even U cl d think the kids enjoy not having to come by the dean’s office in the ' morning if they are less than ten minutes late,” stated Mrs. Brown. Students’ grades also im- proved because they didn’t miss class. All of these facts led to one certain conclusion. The new team united the school. Leaping over all obstacles, they strove to j make CHS a better institution. At a team meeting, the new administra- tion finalizes plans for school improve- ment. 150 Administration Mr. Bill Williamson helps the school maintain its award-winning image.

Mr. Williamson was the princi- pal of Northeast High School for four years.

There he was faced with the problem of getting a school started and making it work. It was just this year that Bill C. Williamson brought his efforts to Clearwater High to help main- tain the reputation of this school as “the home of a program of excellence.” Williamson said, “I plan to build upon the pride and the tradition of the community’s support of the school.” Williamson had many renova- tions planned for CHS. He stat- ed, “Renovations will touch al- most every department in the school. There will be new facili- ties in the vocational areas, and the science wing will be expand- ed. In the end, the cost of the changes are an estimated five million dollars.” Williamson agreed that the change to Clearwater High was a big one, but said his experience with the school had been good. “This school has had a great name in education for many years,” commented Williamson, “and the community support and the student reaction and re- sponse is overwhelming.” Williamson was pleased with his progress here, and highly praised the students’ coopera- tion with his efforts, and the sup- port of the faculty and parents. He added, “This has been the most rewarding school I have ever been to.” y At the regional cross-country meet in USF, Dean Clark participates in a team cheer known as “show us how to get down.” ;tra- Dve- J. Griffith Contrary to popular belief, there really is life after 2:00 Outside Of School by Roxanne Moshonas UIIT hat is she doing J here?!” one stu- yf yf dent whispered to another. “The last place I want to see my English teacher is at the mall.” Students like this often visualized all of their teachers chained to their desks at school, never going home, never going out in the sun. If they did leave school, the only thing they could possibly be doing is grading pa- pers. Students believed teachers didn’t have spare time, but that wasn’t true. Most teachers had families that kept them busy. Many teachers also had hobbies that took much of their spare time. Mrs. Gaire Distler made and sold crafts — painting, embroidery, children’s clothes and toys. She sold them at the Heritage Park craft show and the Jr. Women’s League Christmas craft show. “I spend many hours a week on the crafts, but I spend up to twenty hours a week during the season,” said Mrs. Distler. Math teacher Mr. Daniel Laur- enti and his wife turned the birth of their children into a “hobby.” They were instructors of the Bradley “natural childbirth” method. They began by taking the classes for their first baby. “The Bradley Method is truly a natural childbirth method. In the classes we teach, the emphasis is on working with your baby,” said Mr. Laurenti. Vacations were eagerly antici- pated by teachers as well as stu- ■ dents. Computer math teacher Mr. Mike Way and his family made a regular practice of camp- ing. He said, “It is relaxing and an enjoyable break from the structured life of school. We stay in the state during the school year, but during the summer we get as far from Florida as we can.” Whether it was to relax, create extra income, or help others, teachers, contrary to most be- liefs, really did have lives away from chalk, test papers, and un- ruly students, y Preston Allen-Social Studies Beverly Angelis-Media Center Marge Austin-Language Arts Jamie Baby-PE., Asst.

Let’s see, she said to knock three times. One . . . two . . . three. Oh c’mon please be here . . . this story is due the day after tomorrow and . . . “Oh! Hi, Mrs. Wilcox.” I sit down, get my pencil and paper out, directly across from where Helen Wilcox has seated herself and is eating lunch. She pops a cracker in her mouth, “So . . . what do I do?” I yawn. The question keeps running through my mind. Why another teacher story — and why me? Well ... no point in de- laying the situation any longer. “What is it like to go through the year from your side of the desk?” I ask. Typical topic ' she looks confused. I guess this is where I come in. “O.K. — How do you James Ford-Science Dennis Foster-Science, JV Football Parra Fraley-Business Education Suzanne Furney-Business Education, Junior Class Sal Gaiter-Guidance Curt Geer-Asst.

That’s a little easier.” She laughs — “You mean wake up? ... I don’t do that until after the two o’clock bell!” She has three alarm clocks to get her u p in the morning. “I can turn all three off and never hear one.” She gets up at 5:30. (Her husband wakes her up and makes the coffee.) Unless its a lab day, she’s at school at 7:00. (On lab days at 6:30.) This is when she gets the room ready. “I like the students’ environment to be pleasant.” She feels that if the student feels more comfortable in his or her surroundings he’ll learn better. She hates “crud” on the desks. “It’s lrke dirt — I don’t like it and it can make me mad right off the bat.” That got me curious . . . “What else makes you mad or bothers you?” “MAKE UP WORK!” (She sounded definite.) “It’s out of sync — like lag. It’s frustrating. When I finish with something I’m ready for the next thing.” She also dislikes the inter- com. “It’s necessary, but I kind of resent anything that interferes with my class time.” Her special pet peeve? — not having the air conditioner working. I had to laugh. I could almost see the steam. “Happiness is having my air-conditioner work.” With lunch over, the students in her class begin to file in. She hands out the test and gets them started. “Do you enjoy teaching?” (Stupid question but routine.) “Yes,” she replies. She teaches two classes — Biology II and Earth Science. To her, teaching is a constant challenge. “Teaching is taking complicated material and put- ting it across in a simplified, inter- esting way.” She continues, “I’m always asking myself questions. How can I present this in a way they would want to learn it? or, How did I learn — really learn — this material?” “What is your relationship with your students?” I had no- ticed that she was joking around with some of them. She replied, “If you can get a laugh, it helps to keep people’s attention, and I don’t mind the teasing. That’s up to the individual teacher. Some can handle it, others would rath- er not. But I stay in the role of teacher. I care about my students and I’m responsible for them dur- ing the time they’re in my class, but I’m not their buddy or their mother.” Then she starts laughing. “Have I ever told you about cont. p 1 154 Faculty mm Faculty Biology II is a difficult class for many students.

It happened about four years ago. In the spirng, the Bio II classes dissect animals. Each group of three or four does a different animal and then pre- sents it to the rest of the class. A certain team of boys was doing a turtle that they named Toby. They presented it to the class by drawing each of the systems on separate pieces of cardboard. It was an excellent presentation. The cardboard slabs remained in the store room for 2 to 3 weeks, during which time I kept remind- ing them to take Toby home or I would throw him away. One day I finally threw Toby out in a gar- bage can outside of the room after school. “The team of boys was coming up my hall after school and found Toby crammed into the garbage. I received an ‘anonymous’ phone call that night, ‘You killed Toby; Toby will get you!’ “To this day I still find notes saying Toby will return — and Toby will haunt you!” She went on to say, “They got me one day. I walked into the room and all the desks were facing the back of the room. The students filed in and sat down as if nothing was any different from normal. There I was — feeling stupid — staring at the back of their heads.” There’s more to Biology II than just work out of a book. Mrs. Wilcox displays drawings of cells to her class. 156 Faculty By now I was laughing, and from time to time a student would glance up from his test, wondering what was going on. “Those are the things that make teaching special,” she fin- ished . I asked, “How do you feel in June when you lose many of your students?” “I always get kind of hysterical in June. You’ve been with a cer- tain group of students for 180 classes. It’s hard not to miss them. You know them and all their little idiosynchrocies. I real- ly miss my old ones. But then the new ones come in, and they’re always the same ages. It seems like T m the only one who is get- ting older. But I wonder what they’re like, and I have a new challenge. The bell rings and I pack my things up to go to my next class.

The band’s perfor- mance was always very enter- taining, and the man behind the success of the band was Mr. Smith. When people thought of Mr. Smith, they immediately associ- ated him with qualities such as talent, determination, and pride. Mr. Smith came to Clearwater last year, after the unexpected death of former director, Mr. Donald Hacker. “When Mr. Smith first came to Clearwater there was a lot of resentment, but we worked together to accept Mr. Smith, and make our band the number one band in Pinellas County,” said Melissa Hart. Besides bringing the band through many competitions with high awards and honors, Mr. Smith wrote the music and some of the field shows for other bands such as Largo, Northeast, and Pinellas Park High School. He was also the Program Coordina- tor (music director) of the Sun- coast Sound Drum and Bugle Corps. It took a lot of work and extra hours outside of school to run the band properly. Mr. Smith put much of his free time into plan- ning trips, arranging contests, and working with the band fi- nances. Even though Mr. Smith had very little free time, he stat- ed, “I love to sail and write music when I’m not working with the band” When asked what he enjoyed most about directing the Tornado band, Mr. Smith replied, “I love watching the kids’ faces as they march off the field after a good show. Seeing how much they care about what they do and the pride that comes along with it makes me proud to be a part of them.” ▼ After their performance, Bill Durst gives credit to the band members. i Part of the Pride Bryn-Alan Bringing his musical talent and his enthusiasm, Mr. Smith feels at home at CHS Faculty 159 An i Smitl to He Sponsors and coaches work overtime for extracurricular activities. Off The Clock by Kelli Ruggie O n another hot, humid Friday afternoon, a dedicated group of teachers prepared to stay a few hours after school. None of these teachers were accus- tomed to the 2:00 vault from the desk to the car. Rather, they stayed at school to guide, coach, and supervise students who par- ticipated in extracurricular ac- tivities such as clubs, publica- tions, or sports. This illustrious Perfection is the goal Mr. Collins is looking for when coaching his Tornadoettes. Sponsoring a team sport or club involves a lot of teachers’ time. Marthci Espey helps the Usherettes with seating and supervision at football games. Custodial Joe Riche group of teachers was known as “Coaches” or “Club Sponsors.” Mrs. Rivera found the job well worth her while. “Sponsoring the J.V. cheerleaders was very time consuming, especially with practices before games. But I must admit that I really enjoy being a sponsor, and I would give my right arm for them,” said Mrs. Rivera with a smile. It seemed that Jamey Baby, coach of the boys’ J.V. basket- ball team, had a similar senti- ment. “I loved it,” he comment- ed, “because I was coaching a sport that I really love!” The coaches and sponsors suggested fund raising projects such as selling candy, spirit hats, and Halloween pumpkins. They also helped the students put on dances and organize car washes. Many long hours of dedication were involved in the job of coach or club sponsor. So why should a teacher give up his or her per- sonal time in that way? “I enjoy working with the students,” said Mrs. Buckalew. “They make it a pleasure to be a sponsor.” Coach Baby added, “I enjoy dealing with students who are interested in the same thing I am. Helping them in that chosen area gives me a feeling of accomplishment. | So, on that hot, humid Friday after another sports practice or club meeting, this special group of teachers finally left for home: M.

Griffith FIGURE It Out Math classes help prepare students ' futures by Kelly Fleming R emembering proofs, graphing equa- tions, and creating a flow chart were associated with the wide variety of math classes offered. From the hardships of learning basic con- cepts in Math I to the extended endeavors of Math 5, figures added up, multiplying the extent of learning. Students were required to take two years of math in grades nine through twelve in order to graduate. Becki Waples said, “A lot of students complain about having to take certain math classes when they are not going to use it in the future, but I think math classes develop your mind.” All courses involved the pencil scratching of digits. Erasers cancelled mistakes that seemed to rule over the problems that were eventually worked out. An algebraic equa- tion showed levels of difficulty ranging from Pre-Algebra to Trig Honors. A step into new technology, Computer Math trained students with programming skills, preparing them for the computer ori- ented future. Business Math demonstrated the mechanics of balancing a checkbook, while Geometry focused on the knowledge gained from the use of protractors. These two classes displayed the great variety of courses available. Students who were interested in attending college took classes such as Algebra I, II, Geometry, and Trig. These classes prepared students for college entrance exams. Dennis Lanzer expressed, “You use math everyday from car payments to measuring things. I don’t think I’m wasting my time with it.” In conclusion, the math classes offered were interesting, well-rounded and useful. ▼ i With over twenty new computers added, each student had a chance to gain “hands on” experience.

Back to Basics Little extras add spice to English classes by Kelly Fleming I t’s its, their there there’re, your you’re . . . Teaching students to communicate through proper usage of the English lan- guage and writing complete paragraphs was all a part of an English teacher’s goal. Throughout the year, English teachers taught students the do’s and don’ts of speaking and writing pro per English. Classes such as Language, Grammar, American Literature, and Comp. 9 were asso- ciated with diagramming sentences, distin- guishing nouns from pronouns, and deciding whether the word was singular or plural. Tak- ing the 9th grade paragraph test in Grammar and Comp. 9 went hand in hand with these classes. Students were required to pass this test, and were given three opportunities dur- ing the year in which to do so. Students who did not pass after three tries were re- quired to repeat Grammar and Composition 9. Freshman Steven Swan said, “1 wasn’t wor- ried about it; anybody can write a para- graph.” For students who dreamed of writing, a class such as Creative Writing was offered. This class furthered students in their imagina- tive writing abilities. In addition, creative writ- ing offered its students a chance to partici- pate in a various number of writing contests. For example, students submitted poems, short stories, and essays in the University of Tampa Writing contest, in hopes of receiving a cash award of up to $200 and a free trip to the University of Tampa. Senior Freda Davis said, “The contest offers money, and it teaches kids to compete well in the business field. Also it shows them what it takes to get ahead.” For the students who wished to become a famous reporter or a fiery debator, elective classes such as public speaking and debate were offered. These classes focused on the fine points and procedures of presenting one’s self to the public. Debate student Mike Krous- kos said, “Debate not only helps a student with logical argumentation, but it helps build a student’s vocabulary and speaking skills, which are vital in everyday life.” As in previous years, the English depart- ment offered a multitude of courses to choose from to meet the needs of every student, y Showing his creativity, Mark Warren exhibits his imagina- tive skills while creating some “newsworthy” literature for Mass Media.

Taking E very Step Toward S uccess Studying techniques affect test results by Kelly Fleming H A test today?! No, come on, you’re kidding me! I know I’m A m going to fail it.” Just the word “test” itself was enough to make one’s stom- ach shrink to the size of a gum ball. Well, maybe a jaw breaker. Most students found that the way they stud- ied for tests was very important. For example a good student would spend a minimum of one and a half hours each night studying. The idea was to get the most done in the least amount of time. And then there was always the old, but famous, “I’ll do it later!” syndrome which was never carried out. Atmosphere was always important when studying. A quiet, well-lighted place with no distracting noises proved best. Freshman Julie Case said, “I have to be able to concentrate, or it just doesn’t sink in.” The time one chose to study was also a necessity to the devoted student. Generally it was a time convenient to the student, but starting to study after Simon and Simon fol- lowed by Cheers was too late for comprehen- sion for many. “I have to be able to concen- trate, or it just doesn’t sink in.” Julie Case Students who didn’t study for tests realized that the results were anything but pleasing. In most cases, though, receiving a poor test grade gave the student the incentive needed to improve his or her test scores. Senior An- drea Doran commented, “Failing a test ruins my day because it depresses me.” Students found several reasons for neglect- ing to study and having to cram for a test at the last minute. Two of the more popular rea- sons were either, “I forgot about it,” or “I just didn’t have time to study.” When thinking of an excuse, some students used vivid imagina- tions. Teacher and yearbook advisor, Judy | Cannaday said, “One of my students told me that he couldn’t study because he had lost his j book. Then about three weeks later he men- tioned that he discovered his book in the freez- ■ er while looking for frozen hot dogs.” The fact remained that justification of these reasons were seldom valid. In conclusion, the idea of each person learn- ing from his or her mistakes proved relevant when applied to the pros and cons of studying, or not studying, for a test.

Griffith Blinded By Science In-depth studying of anatomy , chemicals , and rock forms is common to sciences by Robin Castle W hether it was basic ecology or phys- ics II honors, al l students knew that science was a very important part of their high school education. The science program increased its course offerings. Consequently, five teachers taught six straight classes, and had their planning period after school. “The science program here is excellent, and I know I am going to be prepared to major in an area such as biology when I get to college, ” said Ali Goldenfarb. One of the main events in most science classes was the lab. Upon hearing the words “tomorrow be prepared to dissect the frog” queazy students with weak stomachs immedi- ately thought of ways to get out of tomorrow’s class. Most students didn’t mind the labs though, because they were a break from every day routine. “Doing labs wasn’t one of my favorite pastimes, but it did help me to gain first hand experience which made the materi- al easier to understand,” said Kristin Sevilla. The new graduation requirements didn’t create a hardship on ninth and tenth graders because they would be taking science anyway. It did affect eleventh graders who thought they were done with science, and then found out they needed another year. There were? number of ways to take the extra science class. Students could attend night school, suit, mer school, or re-schedule. Mr. Geer said, “Ifj going to better the students because it has been a little too easy. We’re going back to th? basics.” Science had become a very big part in all students’ lives. Mr. Byshak, head of the sci- ence department, agreed, saying, “With the new emphasis on science, students are encow aged to take more science courses to prepay themselves for college and a lifetime of happi ness.” ▼ i ■ While everyone else seems to put up their books ten minutes before the bell, Ross Mullins keeps on working to make sure he gets his work done. r 174 Academics Using the graduated cylinder to measure iodine and sodi- um, Melissa Seige and her lab partner Adam Wyler prepare for a lab in Mr. Gliha’s chemistry class.

Sound like a scene from tele- vision? Well, these events and more came alive in Social Studies classes. To make Social Studies more exciting, teachers did many things that were out of the ordinary and sometimes even a bit unusual. Students in Mrs. D’Andrea’s World History classes held debates in which they discussed the British vs. American sides of many histori- cal events. “The part of my World History class I enjoy the most is our discussions. They can be very interesting sometimes, and I really learn a lot,” commented Dawn Varner. There were many different courses a stu- dent could have taken to fill up their require- ments for Social Studies. In World History a person would learn about early civilizations and the development of our civilization. To learn about democracy, the Constitution, and the set up of government with its freedoms, a student would take American History. C.P.S. was the course which taught the basic con- cepts of the political and economic systems of different countries. Starting with the ’83-’84 freshmen, three full years of Social Studies were required in- stead of only two and a half. This brought around a mixture of feelings from the students. Some felt it was all right because Social Stud- ies was so important in life, others felt it was unfair, and some just didn’t know what they thought about the issue. “It just isn’t fair, if other people only took two and a half years of it, then why should we need to take more?” stated freshman Theresa Garbutt. Whichever Social Studies course one took, teachers and students did their best in many ways to cope with it and make the class as interesting as possible, y Academics 177 C. Thompson 178 Academics Taking Care of Business Career decisions are made through the help of experience from business classes by Cindy Thompson UII W hat do you want to be when you grow up?” This com- mon, and sometimes annoy- ing question has been asked since kids start- ed playing cowboys and Indians or playing house. That question proved difficult to an- swer for many high school students; however, students who took some kind of business course most likely had no problem answering it. The beginning of freshman year was usual- ly the time students started thinking about careers. Although it was considered, no dici- sions were made too easily. The business classes and programs helped guide students to understand and develop responsibilities to- ward the business world. Senior Lisa Rosen- crans said, “The more experience and skills you have toward a certain type of business during and after high school, the better chance you have of getting a good job.” A couple of ways were available to stu- dents to learn skills and responsibilities of business. First, students stayed in school for all six classes to fill all required credits and took business courses as their electives. Sec- ond, work programs were available for stu- dents to get “on the job training.” Students found typing to be a good place to begin learning business skills. From there, maybe shorthand or clerical office practices was taken. Other courses taken as electives to soak up business techniques were business law and law studies for the student interested in a law career, business math and accounting for the bookkeepers and accountants of the future, and data processing and business communication for the computer and public oriented student. Work programs provided students with a chance to leave school early to go to work and to learn more about the b usiness they’d chosen to make their career. These students attended one class in school for a credit and received two credits for their work time. They were graded by the supervisor and also by the employer. Cooperative business edu- cation (CBE), directed under Mrs. Clegg Mill- er, enabled students to get the training for jobs such as receptionist, medical secretary, office manager, word processor, and legal stenographer. Senior Laura Fields, who worked in a doctor’s office stated, “I took CBE because it gave me an opportunity to learn and make money without sitting in school taking basket-weaving courses to earn credits.” Work experience (W.E.), was a pro- gram that encouraged students to take re- sponsibility to learn about the world of work. Diversified Cooperative Training (DCT) and Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) were under the supervision of Mr. Eugene Risner. Those students were the ones giving you change back after buying your weekly groceries or handing you that Big Mac and fries when you had your Big Mac attacks. Those students who took business courses to learn skills and responsibilities knew exact- ly where they were headed and even already had some experience as a head start on their future careers. ▼ With a bright and cheerful smile, Liza Fields gives information to a customer needing help about the mort- gage payments.

Business j Griffith K. Johnson “To be or not to be” — Of course, it’s from the one and only Hamlet. Language Arts classes provide students with a chance to see a production of “Hamlet” by the Asolo Players at Countryside High. A Change of Pace Field trips and guest speakers take students from their daily routine by Cindy Thompson T he mind boggling classes of taking notes, listening to lectures or just reading chapters in literature books became monotonous from day to day. One sure way to catch the students’ eyes was to tell them they weren’t going to contin- ue the lecture on Romeo and Juliet on Mon- day due to a guest speaker. From this, cheers were heard. And telling them that next week they were going on a field trip that would get them out of 3rd and 4th periods, would make the class sound like a stadium packed with football fans. Guest speakers and field trips were avail- able to students to learn and be taught more about the subjects they were interested in. They also gave them a chance to do some- thing different than their usual day class work. “Field trips are good every once in awhile because they give students a chance to get away from school for a few periods,” said Chad White. Various field trips were taken. Business Law students took a trip to the Pinellas Coun- ty Courthouse and Jail. Advanced language and literature classes went to Countryside High School to see the Asolo Players perform Hamlet. Marine Biology students were taken to many areas to collect specimens for study. The students and teachers ususally discussed the event the following day. While students left school grounds to learn more about the subject they were taking, guest speakers came to the school to teach various material. Nancy Lee, a D.J. on Z98, spoke to Mrs. Cannaday’s Mass Media classes about what it was like to be a D.J., and how the station was run. She stressed to students who were thinking about a broad- casting career to “get to college”. “Nancy told a lot about running a radio station and what it’s like to be a D.J. that most of the class didn’t know. I learned a lot about it,” Kathy Tsiouklas said. Kris Ellis added to Kathy’s “In order to be a D.J., it’s impor- tant to go to college” Nancy Lee-Z98 statement by saying, “It was very interesting, and I enjoyed it.” Another guest speaker who visited classes was Jason Bell, a poet. He attended Mrs. Distler’s Lit. 10 classes and Mrs. Moravec’s Creative Writing cla ss. Poems were read aloud by the students and he discussed the meaning of the poems. Mrs. Eda Lieberman spoke to the C.P.S. classes about her life during World War II and talked briefly on her captivity in a Concentra- tion Camp. No matter what the occasion was, students were relieved and willing to give up the books and lectures for one day to guest speakers and field trips. ▼ Mrs. Moravec ' s Creative writing class and Mrs. Distil Lit. 10 class prepare to study a unit on poetry.

In order to prepare for this reality, the Home Economics department offered a broad field of classes. All the classes were designed to involve teen- agers in clothing, nutrition, and family care. Clothing classes encouraged students to de- sign their own wardrobe. In the basic clothing classes, students learned the differences in fabrics and their textures, and designed sim- ple projects. More advanced clothing classes, such as speciality sewing, went into more de- tail while students created their apparel, which included blazers, jumpsuits, and dress- es. In Mrs. Claudenia Jones’ child develop- ment class, students learned the stages of de- velopment in a growing child. Her classes of- ten brought in kids for observation to observe their activities and awareness at different age levels. The child guidance and care services class was most popular among Home Ec. students. The students actually ran a 4-day a week nurs- ery, and would accept a maximum of 18 chil- dren each day. “There is always a list of chil- dren waiting to get in,” commented Home Ec. teacher Mrs. Dottie Way. And of course, Home Economics included cooking classes. For obvious reasons, students found these classes interesting as well as “re- warding.” From the basic fundamentals of cooking, students advanced into classes such as specialty foods, which included a cake decorating contest and foods from one foreign country one day each week. Becoming independent and knowledgeable about life’s everyday tasks was the name of the Home Economics’ game. Students learned what life was all about and got ready to face the future on their own.f Industrial Arts Art by Cindy Thompson M aking a little wooden race car or sculpting a clay pot didn’t sound like a typical classroom activity, but these procedures were typical for the student who took an Industrial Arts or an art class. The student who took Mechanical Drawing I before any other Industrial class had the most advantage because the class taught students to convey their thoughts in an orderly fashion. One wasn’t required to take it, but it helped prepare them for other classes. Some of the other classes participated in after Mechanical Drawing I were Architecture I or Mechanical Drawing II. In both of these classes, one learned the techniques of makin; up a blue print and other drawings. Their ma jor project was to design a one story concrete home which was a “typical Florida styk home.” Tools used were parallel bars, tern plates, scales, and various pencils. Also, Mechanical Drawing I could help stu- dents getting into the Gasoline Engines course This was because it helped students to be able to organize their thoughts faster. Gasoline Er gines was a course that taught students the use of tools, how to troubleshoot an engine anc how to tear apart and rebuild engines. “We use all the basic tools that mechanics use. We also have a drill press and a valve facing tool, said Chris Unwin. Other courses were avail able. A course that had a tendency to be ignorec was art. The art department had a supply o! four pottery wheels, three kilns and a printing press. The press was used for printing lino leum blocks and plastic engravings. The tools used by the art classes were similar to the tools artists used. Mrs. Blewett, an art teacher commented, “I wish more people would take advantage of all the things we do — everyon; can become accomplished at art.” Although most students stuck to the books all day, many enjoyed the use of skills thej already knew they had in the Industrial Arto: art classes, y c c F Saving money creatively, Robert Word carves a Christmas scene out of linoleum.

Griffith No Pain No Gain Although its a required class , P.E. offers a break from academic classes by Cindy Thompson J ogging, tennis, volleyball and dancing — these were just a few of the variety of activities in which students participated in their Physical Education classes. There were two major concepts to taking a P.E. course: 1) it was required by the county to have two credits of P.E. before graduation; and 2) it proved one with a quick and inexpen- sive way to become or remain in shape. All freshmen were required to take a P.E. class both semesters. They did, though, have a choice of two selections: Plan A included foot- ball, basketball, swimming and track; and Plan B contained soccer, softball, tennis and volley- ball. This gave freshmen a chance to select the areas where they performed well. Christine Waldron said, “I took the course that offered a little gymnastics because I like those sort of activities, and it also keeps me in shape. Just because P.E. was a requirement didn’t necessarily mean the students were always in favor of it. “I think P.E. should be an elective. Who else will use the P.E. skills in their careers except for the athletic students wanting a sports oriented career,” said freshman Tricia Busch. On the other hand, some didn’t mind the requirements. The required classes sometimes motivated the students to participate on some school sport team. Or students sometimes used the class to train for a sport they already participated in. “I took weight lifting to keep me strong and in shape during off season o: football,” said Todd Mers. The athletic students were commonly found • taking more Physical Education than others after the required credits were filled. The rea son for that was usually because they wantec to keep in shape and even to fill up classes they couldn’t decide on what to take. Senior Chad White commented, “Team Sports was my choice in my senior year because it offeree many areas that I like, and it also keeps mein shape. Plus what else was I going to take? All-in-all, liked or disliked, P.E. was a re quired class, and for many it was for the best! Weight lifting, taught by coach John Lersch, is offered to both boys and girls. Experienced lifter, Travis Jones, concentrates as he uses every muscle of his body in order o achieve a difficult lift. 184 Academics The gymnasium offers a break from some of the more strenuous outdoor activities.

The warm breeze blew softly. A group of sea- gulls had gathered by the pier where some- one had left part of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

The sound the teacher’s ruler made as it hit her desk seemed almost earth- shattering. She had done it again — drifted off into another wonderful world created by the imagination. Once in awhile a student could be found sleeping in one of his classes, sometimes even more than one. Not only did students sleep in class, they also talked, wrote notes or even just plain goofed off at times. Senior Chris Mariani had a very disturbing habit to teachers trying to teach a day’s les- son. Chris could often be found sleeping a class or two. “I have to get up at 5:00 a.m. every morning to practice swimming so we’ll have a great team. I make up that lost time by sleeping in class,” stated Chris. Then there’s the student who stayed up all hours of the night doing various duties. Some worked, and those working in a fast food restaurant didn’t get home until late at night. They usu- ally did their homework after they got home, not getting to bed until sometimes after 1:00 a.m. “I have to get up at 5:00 for practice so I make up the lost time in my classes.” Chris Mariani As for talking and goofing off in class, ex- planations varied from one situation to an- other. Mike Stewart felt, “Most students don’t like school. They can think of plenty other things they’d rather be doing so they don’t listen to their teachers.” Once the chat- ter began, it sometimes seemed others fol- lowed along to make an uncontrollable rack- et. Students knew they shouldn’t have let those things happen. But when class lectures began to drag, they sometimes allowed their minds to wander from their classroom activi- ties. y Academics 187 Simply Sensational Lounders Photography 2097 Drew Street 4434816 Suntime, Funtime: Pizza Time When you’re at the beach swimming and sunbathing and you work up an appetite for a thick, cheesy pizza, be sure to drop into convenient Post Corner Pizza.

However, the next game was against Plant, and a major disappointment. The Tornadoes faced a thirty-five to seven loss. The team considered this game to be the toughest of the year. Senior Keith Owens stated, “Plant was much bigger in size and more prepared.” This upset did not deprive the Tornadoes of an excellent sea- son. After breezing by the next two competitors, Northeast and Robinson, the Tornadoes faced their long-time rival, Dunedin. Clearwater had not defeated the Falcons in five years, but that was not the case this year. The Tornadoes gave their all to de- feat Dunedin 14-0. “It was great! After five years we finally got the monkey off our back,” stated Ter- ry Griggley. The win gave the en- tire student body a feeling of pride and accomplishment. After a break from an open At the Top week, the Tornadoes finished off Seminole 33-0, leaving only one tough competitor in their path, the Pinellas Park Patriots. Al- though the Patriots defeated CHS, the players demonstrated an excellent night of football. The Tornadoes lost to PPHS, but it didn’t stop them from defeating their last three opponents — Jef- ferson, East Bay, and Largo. To contribute to the Tornadoes remarkable season, Terry Grigg- ley was named High School All American. Also, Leonard John- son threw a 99 yard touchdown pass to Lonnie James, which set a new school record. The team also held its opponents to less than a hundred total points throughout the season. When one looks back on the 1983 varsity football season, he must not look at the scoreboard alone. He must look at the hard work and effort that went into each and every game. 196 Varsity Football Front row: Rodney Herbert, Eddie Batten, Reynolds Miller, Victor Fields, Lonnie James, Todd Meers, Tyrone Lewis, Allen Taylor.

The Junior Varsity Foot- ball Team, however, kept a posi- tive outlook throughout a less than victorious season. The J.V. football team put many long hours of hard work and effort into their practices and games, but somehow they al- ways came up short. The team lost seven games, remarkably losing the last six of those games by less than a total of twenty-five points. They started out the season a little differently than expected. Taking the corner, Pat Davis carries the ball toward the goal line. The Torandoes played hard, tough football although they were defeated 20 14 by Dixie Hollins. Speciality teams are an important part of any football team. John Veltry receives the snap and aims the ball toward the corner. They faced Seminole for the first game. “We played hard, tough football and were demolished, at least on the scoreboard. Had our defense known about Seminoles’ option play, the game would have been a lot closer than 30- 2,” stated sophomore Alan Ebel- ing. The next game, however, was a success. The Tornadoes, frus- trated from their first loss, de- feated Largo 14-7. The next game against the Countryside Cougars was a different story. Head coach Frank Strainer con- sidered it the toughest game of the year. He stated, “We missed a field goal attempt by inches with less than a minute to play. The loss was the first ever to Countryside.” After losing two of the first three games, the team never re- gained their footing. They were defeated the next five games, al- though by a margin no greater than eight points. The skills of the J.V. football team definitely were not reflect- ed in the scoreboard. Coach Strainer concluded, “The squad contains a number of excellent athletes, and I feel that they will contribute to the CHS football program. Their potential shows they will help keep the Torna- does on top.” V 198 Junior Varsity Football L.

All through the duration of their season the team projected an image of clean-cut style along with unmistakable experience and skill. For leadership, the team looked to coach Jamie Baby, the team’s top scorer Rick Nicker- son, and lead rebounder Chris Nicolas. With their guidance, the team pulled through an 18 to 4 season, displaying their basket- ball know-how in all of the games. “When I coached the J.V. team,” remarked Coach Baby, “I want- ed them to learn what it took to be a CHS basketball player. A lot of other programs worried only about playing ability, while we concerned ourselves not only with skills and abilities but also with first class attitudes. I’d have been disappointed if they had only learned basketball.” J.V. displayed not only this class and skill but also a recogniz- able improvement in their ability to deal with different game situa- tions and last-minute strategies. This became apparent when the team engaged in an unforeseen 65 to 45 victory against St. Fete who was 8 to 0 at the time. Re- called Chris Nicolas “It was the best game of the year by far. We were really up and every player played really well.” They maintained their high- caliber status in one of their most stirring demonstrations of bas- ketball skill and polish in their double overtime victory against Countryside resulting in a 77 to 72 score. “It was definitely the closest game we played all sea- son. I think that we were caught by surprise at first; we walked in there planning on winning, and if it weren’t for a few lucky defense plays we might not have,” stated Rick Nickerson. Chris Nicolas added, “The guy that I had been covering during the game — he’d been talking trash, cussing up a storm, there was no way I was going to let us lose to them ... no way.” Coach Baby said, “There were many unique personalities among the team players. I learned a lot from them. We had a fabulous season and they gave us a reason to have pride.” So with a little class, a good supply of talent, and an extraor- dinary amount of dedication, the J.V. team proved to be a group of young men CHS could be proud of.? Boys’ J.V. Basketball 205 Bryn-Alan On Their Toes Team overcomes major disadvantages by Jennifer Jones F ive girls bonded together, thinking and acting as not an individual but as one- fifth of a precision team. As they ran forth from the locker room onto the basketball court, the only subject occupying their thoughts was playing their game and playing it well. The girl’s varsity basketball team did play their game well. In every game they displayed their skills with each basket, pass, and defensive strategy. With a bril- liant record of 18-8 at the end of the season, they emerged as run- ner up in the district conference. They also did extremely well in the Christmas tournament at Central Catholic with their re- cord concluding at 8-5. Coach Balderson attributed their suc- cess in the tournament to “play- ing well as a team and keeping on their toes.” Leading the triumphant team was Nanci Parks, whom Coach Balderson acclaimed for her “knowledge of the game and good basketball moves.” Angie Norman prevailed as the team’s best rebounder, and Debbie Pan- ossian was an overall good play- er. The team did have a few weak points which they strove to over- come. Their main problem was inconsistency, which was largely the result of many temporary in- juries or illnesses to major play- ers. Nanci Parks was out for three games with bronchitis, and Lynn Gray had a cracked verta- brae and a torn ligament which caused her to be out for one month. Debbie Panossian missed one week with a sprained ankle. The team also had to contend with the two major aspects all basketball teams fear most: lack of speed and lack of height. But when watching the team in action it was clear that their strong points heavily out weighed their weak points. Their major asset was the fact that they could play well as a team. ▼ Being quick to get a rebound and keep- ing control of it is essential in basketball. Nanci Park takes advantage of Country- side’s faulty attempt at a basket by get- ting the ball off the rebound and returning it to the Tornadoes end of the court. 206 Girls’ Varsity Basketball One of the team’s major disadvantages is their lack of height. The only way to overcome this is to have a lot of skill and the ability to jump high. Debbie Panos- sian overcomes these disadvantages and a sprained ankle to become one of the team’s top players. With a score of 12-16 late in the second quarter, Julie Oie rushes down the court to lay one up for the Tornadoes and pull them back into the game against the Pi- rates. To those who think basketball is a “man’s” sport, a girl’s varsity basketball game would easily change their minds. Jumping high into the air, Cindy Jensen shoots a perfectly aimed ball anyone would be proud of. - 4 aw Facts and Figures, Girls’ Varsity Basketball Dunedin Lakewood Dixie Hollins Gibbs Bryn-Alan I Northeast Largo Boca Ciega St. Petersburg Countryside Boca Ciega Osceola Pinellas Park Northeast ccc Countryside Seminole CCC Tarpon Springs Dunedin Largo Dixie Hollins m- 18 wins 8 losses Bryn-Alan { 1 KvJI al : If 1 n m M m i ' i y , Front row Michelle Williams, Julie Benjamin, Debbie Panosslan.

The J.V. basketball team was made up of ninth and tenth grade students. The girls practiced three days a week for one and a half hours trying to improve their skills and learning how to work more like a team. Their practices consisted of plays, exercise drills and scrimmages. In order to have held the high- est winning record of any CHS J.V. basketball team, the girls had to abide by the few rules set by Coach Broome. These simple rules consisted of conducting themselves properly and main- taining court discipline. The most important of all was no unex- cused misses of practices; if one was missed it would result in a game suspension. Coach Broome stated, “They are successful because they worked hard for it.” When the team went out to play a game, they remembered their team phi- losophy: “The reason you go for it is because you don’t have any- thing to lose” This philosophy contributed to an outstanding season for the girls’ J.V. basket- ball team. As Gracine Wright summed it up, “I feel we had a great season and this was the best year that CHS J.V. girls ever had since CHS has been here” ▼ Girls’ J.V.

Coach David Paul brought several years of experience to his first year coaching at CHS, and he helped the swim team to come out on top. The boys took the first place titles in both the con- ference and district meets. They pulled out in eleventh place at the state competition. The girls took second place titles at confer- ence and districts and placed fifth at the state competition. Although these victories were the team’s, several swimmers stood out among the rest. Among these swimmers was freshman Amy Mudano. Her performance at the state competition broke the previous record by a full sec- ond and gave her a first place standing in the 50 yard freestyle. Also at state, Chris Mariani re- ceived a consolation standing. The performances of Rob Farnell and Chris Bergh also attributed to the team’s success. The divers also did an outstanding job. Mike Massey took the third place title at the state competition. The many hours of practice both before and after school at lowed the team to share muc: time together. Captain Jane % liams remarked, “The people or the team were closer than eve: We all supported each other everything and helped each oil er in any way we could.” 7 Practice was a major factor in the vie tories of the girls’ swim team.

BrynAlan 00 • + On by Candace Loehn «¥ t’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you A play the game ...” This phrase summed up the 1983 boys cross country season. The team showed a lot of prom- ise, but unfortunately bad luck stepped in to block the way to a 03 i winning season. § After losing many of their strong runners to graduation, the team was small, numbering only seven. Then, early in the season, the team lost another runner. John Hoopes was tragically para- lyzed when he dove into a shal- low creek. He was out for the rest of the season. Regardless of their losses, the team worked hard to regain some kind of an edge. They put in long hours of practice. “All of the practicing we do is hard, but it all seems worth it when we do really well,” stated Eric Rubin. The team took eighth in confer- ence and tenth in the district. “We had a fair season,” said Coach Eidson, “losing five start- ers from last year. We are looking forward to rebuildling next year.” Eidson went on to say, “A lot of people are promising to come out for next year’s team.” ▼ J. Griffith And They ' re Off Girls ' CC leave a hot trail behind by Kelly Palms F rom the Boston or New York marathon down to the local Turkey Trot, the running craze swept over Amer- ica. Whether running for compe- tition or just to stay in shape, teenagers also kept up with the new fad. Anyone with a pair of sneakers and determination could hit the trail. Yet the girls’ cross-country team was more than eleven pairs of Nikes. Each member was an individual whose efforts ran the Torn adoes all the way to state. Practice began in late August to prepare the team for competi- tion in one of the toughest coun- ties in Florida. Workouts consist- ed of speed work as well as trails, and generally lasted an hour and a half. The practices paid off when the team ended their sea- son with first place finishes in the conference and district, a second place finish in regionals, and eighth at state. Team captain Roxanne Robbins led the team at state with a second place finish in 4A, and a time of 11:42:1. Dur- ing the season, six of the eleven team members ran times well be- low thirteen minutes. The six were Carmen Alcoz, Lourdes Al- coz, Laura Saunders, Carol Cro- chet, and Lynette Robbins. But cross country was not just feet pounding over the same old paths day after day. The team ma de an appearance at Tornado Tales, and also got together for a picnic at Coach Kathy Biddle’s house before regionals. To get psyched for other meets, the team picked “secret spirit sisters” and exchanged cards and candy with them. Tension before races was broken by shouts of “Hey Car- men — show us how to get down,” and sometimes, it looked like the team’s t-shirts described them accurately as “maniacs.” Andrea Hassal remarked, “The thing I like most about cross- country is being with my friends and just being able to goof off occasionally. After a good race we have an easy practice and then there’s lots of time for fun.” All races consisted of a two- mile trail and the team traveled to places like Brandon High School, Bullfrog Creek, and Cres- cent Lake to compete in their meets. The girls’ cross-country team managed t o combine “fun” with “run” and earn the team a place higher ranking at state.

The CHS tennis team could be found practicing an average of ten hours a week. In addition to this most players put in extra hours in order to master their skills and perfect their games. Practices consisted of many drills, exercises, and an occasion- al challenge match with a team- mate. One exercise, done to stretch the leg muscles, was of- ten a strange thing to watch. Players leaned against a fence while remaining in a sitting posi- tion for as long as five minutes. But, no matter how strange the hours spent at practice were, they did pay off. “The practices were long and hard, but they helped me a lot and I am a better player because of them,” said Jody Carden. Practice hours were spent at the McMullen Ten- nis Complex and also at the CHS tennis courts. Home matches were also played at the McMul- len Tennis Complex. Melissa Woolley, Kim Rogers, and Kathy Rogers led the girls’ team into the ’84 season. “Be- cause of our hard work and strong players, we are one of the better teams in the district,” commented Kathy Rogers. First and second seeds on the boys’ team were held by Craig Cunningham and Curtis Ingram. “We had a good coach, and he helped all of us to improve our games both mentally and phys- ically,” remarked Curtis Ingram. “Our top players were strong, but the majority of our team was inexperienced. Taking this into consideration, we did well,” stat- ed Tim Bradley.

Rodney represented the Tor- nadoes in the state match at Countryside High School on February 24-25. A Changed Image Wrestling gains more support by Roxanne Moshonas J ammed between morning announcements and hid- den in the statistic page of the newspaper, wrestling an- nouncements often took a back seat to more popular sports. However, Coach John Lersch slowly but surely changed the im- age of wrestling. Students be- came more aware of wrestling with a match January 3 during school. In sixth period, students paid a ticket price to see the Tor- nadoes wrestle against Osceola. Because of the improved spirit of the fans, the Tornadoes proceed- ed to defeat Osceola. About twenty-eight young men participated in the wrestling program under Coach Lersch. The wrestlers practiced two hours every day after school dur- ing the November to February season. Practices consisted of running, wrestling moves, live wrestling and weight lifting. “Practices were pretty hard, but they really got you prepared for Wrestlers are pitted against each other by weight and size. In the 115 pound weight class, co-captain Dan “Mad Dog” Hampton strives to keep his opponent under control. the matches,” said Kevin Wilkes. The Tornadoes had a much im- proved year, 7-7 as opposed to the 3-12 1982-3 season. John Brower commented, “Everyone on the team worked hard throughout the season. We had a lot of people who didn’t make it.” Coach Lersch, who had coached wrestling for five years, the past two at CHS, believed the excel- lent season was partly due to re- turning experienced wrestlers. The number one returning wres- tler was senior Rodney Herbert with a 19-2 record. Wrestlers of each team were pitted against others of their own weight and size. An interesting situation arose in one of the matches where the Tornadoes were losing by three points. It was Howard Rein’s turn to wres- tle when the wrestler on the other team saw Howard and refused to compete against him. Howard took the forfeit and won the match for the Tornadoes. Though not often recognized, wrestling proved to be a tough and demanding sport. The Tor- nadoes, however, strove to im- prove their record and succeed- ed.

As time passed man be- came restless, so he invented a few sports. One of the most popular of these primitive sports was a game which involved try- ing to knock down ten medium- sized rocks with one smaller rock. This game had a couple of draw- backs, however, but it was per- fected and is now known as bowl- ing. To some, bowling may have been just a hobby to pass time, but to the CHS bowling teams it was much more than that. It was a chance to show themselves and others how good they really were. “Being on the bowling team took up a considerable amount of my free time. But I enjoy bowling a lot so I didn’t mind. It was really a lot of fun,” commented Dewaine Olson. Not being funded by the Pinel- las County School System, the bowling teams might have had a bit of trouble, but they didn’t. The teams were sponsored by Hi- Lan Lanes. The owner, Mr. Hugh Hamilton, bought their uniforms, P. Boulay II 11 J 1 m I and he let them practice and have their matches at Hi-Lan Lanes with no charge. Along with all of these things, he also gave a $300 scholarship for any person on the bowling teams that the school administration chose. Top bowlers for the girls team were Missy Pushinski and Diana Winslow. The top bowler for the boys team was Robby Kuntz. At the awards banquet, Diana re- ceived three awards: high series, high average, and high game. The girls team finished off the season as the first runner-up in the Northern Division, with a loss to Tarpon Springs. The boys fin- ished their season as fourth in their division. Having a coach that didn’t teach at this school was some- times difficult, but the bowling teams worked it all out. Being the coach for 12 years, Lew Fradkin has gotten to know how students think and to the best was to help them is. “I love being the coach. I enjoy working with the kids and the school. Sometimes I think the kids help keep me young,” stated Fradkin. P. Boulay Displaying his picture-perfect form, Scott Powers aims for a strike at Hi-Lan Lanes. One of the advantages of being on the bowling team is that one receives free play during practices and games.

He was referring to a boys’ soccer game. Although more fans would have been helpful, they man- aged perfectly well without them. Coach Campas showed his humor about the matter at the “Kiss the Pig” assembly in Febru- ary. As he introduced the team, he remarked, “Now that you’re all here, the game should start in a few minutes.” The boys’ soccer team started off well. They defeated their first five opponents until they lost to Countryside in overtime. After winning the next four games, they faced another tough com- petitor, Dunedin. Coach Campas considered this the toughest game of the year. He stated, “It was for first place, and we were winning four to zero. But Dun- edin came back and won.” They also lost their next game to Lar- go. After finishing off Dixie Hol- lins, they lost their last season game to St. Pete Catholic. This didn’t even phase them. They went on to districts and entered the regional play. The team spirit and efforts were strongly dis- played while competing in the district game. Bobby Bulla com- mented, “We were all fired up. As soon as the whistle blew, we played so well we were the domi- nating team — we were sure to win.” The boys’ soccer team didn’t become good just from wanting to. They practiced everyday from 2:30 to 4:00. Their prac- tices consisted of different types of running and many drills. David Tennian stated, “Soccer is a good way to work out your frustra- tions. The bruises on my legs can prove it.” The Tornadoes have al- ways had an excellent boys’ soc- cer team. And hopefully always will, with or without the support of fans.

For the baseball team however, the season meant long days and physical exhaustion. Returning senior, Alex Passarello works to perfect his form. The National Pastime Underclassmen display potential by Candace Loehn D uring early spring, Floridians didn’t have to go far to see some good baseball. All over the state pro- baseball teams were practicing for the start of the season. Teams such as the Detroit Tigers practiced in Lakeland. The Toronto Blue Jays were nearby in Dunedin, and the Philadelphia Phillies polished up their skills right here in Clearwater. When these teams packed up and left, fans were at no loss for the excitement of America’s favorite spring pastime. Clearwater High’s baseball team kept the fans’ interest by showing some skills of their own. They were a young team this time around, consisting mostly of sophomores and juniors. Behind the plate, the team relied heavily on the skill of young talent Chip Hoffman. Return pitcher Mark Mosher, who had the lowest E.R.A. last year of all pitchers, along with Alex Passarello proved highly contributory to the team’s successes. Batting-wise the team looked to Jason Moore, Pepper McCraw, Jerold Miller, Sean McManamon and David Portilla, who also proved benificiary on third. Although the C.H.S. baseball team members weren’t on the pro level, they proved throughout the season that they were every bit as dedicated to their sport as their highly paid counterparts. y Baseball 227 Volleyball is an extremely demanding sport.

Volleyball team keeps up record by Lee Meddin W hen a news reporter covered a CHS volley- ball game he could usually predict the outcome. It often seemed as though a Torna- do victory was inevitable. They just kept winning game after game after game. At the end of the season, their incredible 24-2 record left them with a rank of 1 in the district, 1 in the conference, and 2 in the region. This was the sixth time in a row that the girls’ vol- leyball team won the district crown. This was a record to be proud of, since volleyball has only existed as an interscholastic sport in Pinellas County for six years. The Lady Tornadoes’ out- standing record wasn’t easily achieved. During the school year they spent two hours a day, five days a week practicing. During summer vacation, while every- one else was out soaking up the sun, they could be found con- fined to the gym practicing five hours a day, six days a week. The practice really paid off when the team won more games this sea- son than the volleyball team had won in any other season. Although volleyball required a great deal of team effort each player also strove to be the best. Jamie Gelep achieved two re- cords which will not be easily beaten, 701 sets and 202 good serves. Cindy Jenson also gave the team her best effort. By the end of the season she had spiked 158 balls and aced 6 serves. Ju- lie Oie led the team in blocks. When the season ended, she had racked up a total of 37. All of these individual records were both a major achievement and a major factor in the team’s suc- cess. One of the reasons the team was always in such high spirits was because they really enjoyed their games. Julie McCulloch re- marked, “My favorite game was against Pinellas Park. They were so overconfident that they would win and they were such a rival. It was great. We killed them. We really did!” Blanquita Lafita summed up the feelings of the entire team when she stated, “I feel our sea- son was faaannnntabulous!” f The volleyball games cause much ex- citement. This excitement rubs off onto all the players. Letting her excitement show, Julie Oie yells words of encourage- ment to Julie Benjamin as she prepares to hit the ball.

Reynolds Miller’s own personal record stood at 155 ' for discus, and 49 ' 5 for shotput. Robert Fuller’s average stood at 138 ' in discus, and he worked hard to improve his 47-foot throw with the shotput. With the long jump, and triple jump, seniors Lonnie James and Keith Owens were at the top. Lonnie James held the 1983 school record of 45 ' 9 45 ' 9 3 4 in the triple jump. He stated, “I’ll introduced me to the sport,” stated sophomore Ken Hayslett. Hayslett’s goal, again like others, was to break the school’s record. The pole vault record for the school stood at 14 feet, and Hayslett reached to the height of 13 ' 6 . The Clearwater track stars were led by junior Tony Brown. His strength was in the 100 and 200 yard dashes. Tony’s times were 9.7 seconds in the 100 yard dash, and 22 seconds flat in the 220. “It’s all team work; without the team and its supporters I wouldn’t have done as well.” Following in Brown’s footsteps was Adriano Alcoz, who stated, “The year was good, because everyone was willing to train hard to achieve their best.” T Making a good take-off is an important part of having a good score in the long jump. Senior Keith Owens shows his jumps as he works to break the school’s record of 23 feet and go to state. Track consists of several different events.

Thrill of the Moment Satisfaction conies from accomplishment by Kelli Fleming A s the finish line drew near, the pace acceler- ated. The reality of the pain and pressure saturated your mind, but your body pushed on. This was the long awaited mo- ment. Every muscle strained striving towards the line. It was over so quick, one great moment in time. It was this thrill of the moment which made running track worthwhile. The girls’ track team found satisfaction in themselves through hard training and serious competition. The fifteen member team performed in a way that showed that the difference be- tween good and great was small. As head coach Mrs. Biddle said, “The girls are talented, and they know how to work together. This year we had a lot of new, young faces, which placed us in a pow- erful position.” Among the young faces were runners such as Jenni- fer Owen, Melanie Carver, Jodi Collins, and Lynette Robbins who excelled in areas such as distance and sprinting. Throughout the year, the team participated in various invitation- al like that of the Lady Gators in Gainesville as well as one held in Bradenton. In addition, the team hosted the Lady Tornadoes Invi- tational, which took place on March 20. With the combination of knee and foot injuries sus- tained by two of their top run- ners, Roxanne Robbins and Car- men Alcoz, the team was faced with some difficulties. Senior Carmen Alcoz commented, “I got hurt playing soccer, but it wasn’t serious, so I only missed a couple of days.” Team practice was held every- day after school until 4:00 pm with emphasis placed on speed- work and mileage. As a new as- sistant coach, Mr. Ewbank taught the girls that satisfaction should come from accomplishment, rather than the idea of winning. This became the team motto, and as Coach Ewbank added, “It takes success to build up confi- dence, but defeat must be ac- cepted.” With competition like that of Lakewood and Northeast, the girls had to work to maintain their top rating in the district. As sophomore Lourdes Alcoz stat- ed, “We like to compete, we are a good team, and we definitely work hard.” By possessing strength, agility, dedication, and endurance, the girls’ track team clearly showed what makes a runner an athlete.T 232 Girls ' Track It seems that hardly any time passes between cross country and track seasons.

Girls’ Track 233 The Driving Force Golf team holds top three players by Walter Crawford W hen Terry Griggley of the varsity football team scored a touch- down, over one thousand people cheered. But when Lee Manly of the golf team sank a seven foot putt for a birdie, there were few people there to cheer him on. Even with a lack of fans, the golf team completed their winning season of 20-4 to place second in the conference. The golf team got off to a roar- ing start by winning their first ten matches. Steve Cass considered the first match of the year, against Countryside and Lake- wood, to be the toughest. He ex- plained, “It was the first match of the year, and the newspapers ex- pected all three teams to be in Concentration plays an important part in most sports. In golf, however, concen- tration is vital for eye-hand coordination. Lee Manly prepares to put his second shot on the green. the top three. We killed Lake- wood and barely beat Country- side.” The tides started to change as Clearwater faced Countryside. Although Countryside did not hold the top players as CHS did, the Cougars defeated the Torna- does. After breezing by Osceola, CHS faced another strong com- petitor, Tarpon Springs. The next three opponents, Largo, St. Petersburg, and Os- ceola, were shut out once again by the devastating skills of the Tornado golfers. After a surpris- ing loss to Seminole, the Torna- does sailed smoothly through the rest of the season. They finished off their last eight competitors in shutouts. Most people didn’t under- stand how golf scores were tallied up. It was a simple process. There were five players on the team. The best four scores were added up for a total team score. Although the golf team placed second in the conference, they held the top three players in the conference. Andy Gamsby and Lee Manly were tied for first place while Steve Cass was sec- ond. Andy hoped to go to St. Pete Junior College and play on their team while Lee was very serious- ly considering golf as a career. Although golf was not one of Clearwater High’s most popular sports, it could definitely be con- sidered a major stronghold in Tor- nado athletics.

In Hot Pursuit of Victory Softball team finishes up in the top rankings by Candace Loehn E veryone looks forward to springtime. Up north it means shedding the win- ter coat, and wondering if the snow will ever melt. But down south, and especially at CHS, it means softball season — the time of year when the Lady Tor- nadoes can get out and show that men aren’t necessarily better at sports than women. It’s always hard to be the best, but the softball team was in hot pursuit of victory. Helping out on this road to victory were some of last year’s team members who decided to give it another shot. Among them were seniors Julie Benjamin and Soni Hollister, and juniors Tammy Fisher and Blanquita Lafita. The team was guided by se- nior third baseman Julie Benja- min, junior shortstop Blanquita Lafita, and senior pitcher Soni Hollister, who were among the top players on the team. Other exceptional players included Anne Bunker, Debbie Fanossian, Kris Griebler, Jamie Gelep, and Joy Taylor. The girls had to devote a lot of their time to perfecting their game. Practice was held Monday through Friday at 3 o’clock, on days they didn’t have a game. Contrary to popular belief, Coach Baby did not lead practice with a whip and chair. Rather, he explained the team’s drills as, “A lot of repetition, which may be boring after awhile, but is essen- tial to getting ready for games. We do lots of hitting, ground balls and game situation drills. We also feel it is important to have fun. There’s no sense in being miser- able when you work hard.” This was Coach Baby’s second year as softball coach. Last sea- son he coached the team right into a first place tie with Boca Ciega in the Pinellas County Con- ference. y Softball 237 The girls’ soccer team’s season is re- markable. Having two members who were elected to the state team is a major asset to the team. One of these members who made the state team is Carmen Al- coz. Terri Griggley is well known for his athletic achievements and contribu- tions to many of the Tornado teams. For football he achieved national attention when he was named in Parade magazine as a High School All American. 7 ' fy. y ‘ I I c • Wmm Bryn-Alan Only The Best The Tornadoes maintain the top teams, top scores, and top players by Lee Meddin P laying on a Tornado ath- letic team meant more than being a “jock”; it meant being a winner. Whether the sport involved water splash- ing, helmets clanging, feet pounding, balls spiking, or clubs striking, everything seemed to go in the Tornadoes’ favor. At the close of the final sports season of the year, many of the Tornado teams had finished in the top ranks in the district, conference, region, and even state. The reasons for the spectacu- lar year could be attributed to both the teams as a whole and the teammates who made the in- dividual teams what they were. The football team had to work as a single unit to accomplish their successful season. Yet, when thinking about the football team it seemed almost impossible not to think of Terry Griggley. Grigg- ley finished off his three years on the varsity football team as a High School All-American. One of the s ports where individual achievement was most noticable was swimming. In only her first year on the swim team, freshman Amy Mudano swam into first place at the state competition. Towards the end of the year she could even be found practicing for the tryouts of the 1984 sum- mer Olympics in Los Angeles. Much of the strength of the Tornado teams came from only a few of the individual players. Many of these players had high rankings in the district, confer- ence, and even region. Golf was one of the biggest strongholds. Although the golf team finished second in the conference, they held the conference’s top three players. Tied for first place were Andy Gamsby and Lee Manly. Second place was held by Steve Cass. Although the diving team was small in number, they held the 2 diver in the state, Mike Massey. The girls’ cross-country team, who finished first in the dis- trict and conference, and second in the region owed much to their team captain, Roxanne Robbins. Robbins led the team at state with a second place finish. Girl’s soccer was another outstanding Lady Tornado team. Two mem- bers of this team, Carman Alcoz and Suzanne Meeks, were picked to play on the state team. One sport where personal rec- ognition kept a low profile to the credit which the team received was volleyball. The volleyball team finished first in the district and conference, and second in the region. Julie McCulloch re- marked, “We worked hard to be the team we were. This year we finished second in the region; maybe next year we’ll finish first in the nation!” Many other Tornado teams also finished with high rankings and many other athletes excelled to what seemed to be beyond the limit. The final results of the Tor- nado teams were unbelievably in- credible. Both the players as indi- viduals, and as teams, demon- strated what it took to make it work. To these players the thrill of victory was not an occasional feeling, but rather a part of daily life. 238 Only the Best J. Griffith Catch A major role in school spirit was held by the cheerleaders. Varsity cheerleader Karen Steiner hangs her spirit poster. that Tornado Spirit Spirit plays a major role in Tornado victories by Walter Crawford P ractice makes perfect, but not always. No team can achieve perfection without the valuable help of spirit. Spirit played a major role in Tornado victories. The swim team displayed their spirit by the well-known “silent day.” Senior Steve Voras, diver for the swim team, stated, “I think that silent day really helps to boost the spirit of the team, something that really helps in a meet.” Cheerleaders also built up spirit. Not only did they cheer the crowds on, but they made and hung spirit posters throughout the school on game days. They also provided dif- ferent teams with spirit cards and candy which helped the teams get psyched up for the upcoming game. Another producer of spirit was the well-known Tornado March- ing Band. They performed at the half time of football games and pep rallies. Along with the band went the Tornadoettes, who danced to the beat of “Chim Chim Cheree.” Another major spirit booster was the truly devoted fans. “When we’re out there on the field we’re fighting for the Clearwater Tornadoes and our tradition of being the best.. It’s great to know the crowd is be- hind us. We all stick together,” stated varsity football player Howard Rein. Being number one has been a tradition of Clearwater High for 77 years. Without a doubt, the Tornadoes achieved this tradition by leaving their mark of excellence everywhere they performed, y Mental preparation was a big part of preparing for a game. Chris Kuntz and Coach Jim Campas help psyche the soc- cer team for their upcoming game. This was a major factor in preparing for a game. One of the ways the girls’ cross country team displayed their spirit was by giving and receiving spirit cards. Laura Saunders receives her spirit card from teammate Grace Schumacher. 240 Spirit Spirit 241 Fired up for a victory over Robinson, Reynolds Miller charges through the spirit poster. The varsity cheerleaders make the poster for each game. Team spirit is a key factor in Tornado victories. The volleyball team used this strategy well. Coach Balderson provides the team with spirit and advice before the team returns to the court. One of the newest sports to hit the beaches was parasailing. Wearing a parachute, Lance Hallmark is pulled up into the air by the Aqua Sports Comp, and has the chance to see Clearwater Beach from a bird’s eye view.

Water sports have been around for many, many years, but recently the look of these sports has taken on a variety of new shapes. One sport, wind- surfing, has been around for many years, but recently its pop- ularity started to skyrocket. For only about $600 dollars one could purchase an average wind- surfer and spend many challeng- ing hours of excitement. For a sport like parasailing, where one wears a parachute and is pulled up into the air by a boat, the only requirements were wanting to try it and about $20 fee. One advantage of water sports over many land sports was the fact that practically ev- eryone who tried had an equal chance at success, y Breaking away from the fast pace of the outside world, a solitary sailor enjoys the serenity of the Gulf while perched upon his hobie cat. 242 Water Sports I Hydrosliding steadily moved up and up in popularity.

Although much credit went to the players, the win was also due to the many valuable assistants as well. The people held the title of manag- ers, trainers and stat keepers. Without the long hours and hard work of the managers, many sporting events could not have taken place. Managers had to do various menial tasks, such as fixing equipment and chang- ing game balls. Rhonda Smith stated, “A manager helps out the coach with whatever he or she needs help with. If you happen to be a cross-country manager like I am, you mostly cheer the team on the meets. You get them fired up to run and win!” The trainers concentrated mainly on injuries. Not only did they try to p revent injuries, but they also had to care for injuries already received. This required a knowledge of sports medicine, which most of the trainers obtained. The stat keepers also had an important task. The football stat keepers recorded each play, the yardage of each play, and the player that caused the action. Stat keeping also had its advan- tages. Senior Pam Demps stated, “When you are a stat girl, the coaches recommend you for col- leges just as they do the players. You also know all the players fairly well. Even though they did not re- ceive as much credit as they should have, managers, trainers and stat keepers enjoyed what they did and did it well. The de- voted time and effort by these people proved itself a big factor in Tornado victories. ▼ The football stat girls must watch the game very closely at all times. Pam Demps and Laura Fields record each play, the yardage of each play, and the player that caused the action. Behind the Lines Unsung heroes provide back up for any team L.

The important opening to each game was the presentation of the U.S. flag by the MCJROTC color guard. By drilling one and a half hours a day, two days a week, they performed this ceremony with preci- sion. Colonel Ralph Moody felt that this was an important contribution because it helped the members “gain self-confi- dence.” During the football season the band pro- vided the half-time entertainment. Eleven hours of going over routines resulted in the execution of the show. One often saw the band members on the field practicing their drills. “With all this practice we still were very nervous and suffered from stage fright,” said Robin Castle, band member. Tapping their toes to the music of the CHS marching band were the Tornadoettes. According to Don Collins, Victory against North- east was spurred on by the determination of Sandy Reigal. Tornadoette sponsor, “a practice included a hour of stretching, kick drills, reviewing, rehearsing or learning routines. This sometimes led to strained or pulled mus- cles,” he added. A display of cheers, jumps and stunts by the cheerleaders provided encouragement to the athletes. The challenge of trying new stunts and overcoming falls was constantly present. Five hours of practice a week pro- duced the pep and enthusiasm “to fire up the crowd or cheer them up if we were losing,” said Joy Palmieri, varsity cheer- leading captain. All teams spent hours of almost daily practice to get ready for their seasons. “To- tal dedication not only in a sport, but also in school work helps to make a well-rounded basketball player,” said basketball coach Jamey Baby. Similary, football coach Tom Bostic emphasized the importance of “practicing football skills.” Student enthusiasm and team morale spurred the athletes onto the court or field always with a hope of a victory, y Devoting tedious hours of practice and drilling, the band felt J very secure in performing their routines, as demonstrated by Jimmy |.

Diliberti On the right foot tarting the year by Candace Loehn S tanding above the crowd was a special group of people — those students who belonged to one or more of the many clubs that were offered. Each club, as always, was faced with the task of “getting the ball rolling.” The clubs accomplished this in a multitude of ways. The Spanish Club kicked off the year with a formal induction. This candlelit ceremony presented in Spanish welcomed all the new members. The members of the French Club attend- ed a picnic at Brooker Creek Park in early October. “The club officers seemed much more motivated. I had a lot of confidence in them,” said Mrs. Brenda Nelms, French Club advisor. The club also sold Christmas ornaments in early October. “The money raised went into supplementary classroom materials to help pay for the CONGRES, our annual convention,” said Andrea Laney, French Club president. The National Honor Society began their year by posting a list of junior and senior students eligible for membership. Those interested submitted applications which then went At a Mu Alpha Theta meeting member John Iannotti involves his fellow members in a sing along. through a careful screening process by the faculty using certain standards of service, community roles, leadership, and character. The applicants who met these requirements then received letters of congratulations and later attended a formal induction ceremony. The members of the Latin Club wel- comed the school year by displaying them- selves in the traditional Roman attire, togas, some with a new twist. “The togas were in many interesting colors and styles,” said Anne Bunker. A Sophistication Day in early October separated the Key Club members from the rest of the student body. Fancy dresses, jack- ets, and ties were sported by most of the club members. They also participated in Clean-Up Clearwater Day, a civic event held on October 15. “With the services we provided, I felt the Key Club was highly praised by both the students and administration,” said Freda Davis, senior. These were just a few of the clubs and organizations but all the offered clubs and organizations worked hard to begin the year’s activities early and to accomplish more for the school. Y These Mu Alpha Theta members are attentive while listening to Norman Belson discuss future activities. Glad to participate in Key Club Sophistication Day on October 5 are Stephanie Capogna and Linda Cribbs. g On the right foot 253 The Student Government Association furnished students with pic- nic tables.

Sweeney Todd was presented in the spring. by Antoinette DiLiberti C lub participation was a big part of campus life. The comradery of club members was everpresent as activities were planned during the school year. Contributions to the school were a major aim of many of the clubs. The Student Government Association’s (SGA) largest group project was to raise money to help purchase a large number of picnic tables that were used by the stu- dents during lunch breaks. The SGA also aided school spirit by planning Homecom- ing, Tornado Tales, the Homecoming pa- rade, and finally the Homecoming dance. The German Club provided a popular item with the students. They again sold the imported German food snack, Gummi Bears, to help raise funds. In addition, the members participated in the Homecoming parade and the hall decorating contest. The school newspaper, Clearlight , provided up-to-date news and information concerning the student body and community affairs. The critically acclaimed newspaper was well-known for its color graphics and interesting stories. The International Thespian Society and the Drama Club produced two 3-act plays for everyone’s enjoyment — one of which was Blithe Spirit in November. The school stadium on the nights of the home football games was electrified by the outstanding voices of the participating chorus members who sang the traditional “Alma Mater” and the “Star Spangled Banner.” A few of the performers included Rodney Chapman, Amy Horne, Missy Ward, and Beth Allard. The National Honor Society (NHS) sponsored M M and Easter basket sales, all of which h elped raise money to provide the library with a new card catalog. NHS was also actively involved in the tutoring program. The Computer Club produced pro- grams for better efficiency. In late Novem- ber they devised a time-saving program for the librarians, and at the beginning oi second semester they worked with the at- tendance office in submitting attendance lists. A major contribution of the Key Club was the marquis on the northeast lawn of the school. The necessary funds were raised through various school pro- jects. By the year’s end the clubs’ functions and participation had been surpassed. The numerous club meetings, last minute changes in plans and hundred of manhours were all worth the effort.

Combine all these with a group of very talent- ed musicians, put them all under the direction of Drum Major Bill Durst and Band Director Robert Smith, and you have the tremendously popular Tornado Marching Band. Adopting a British style, the band definitely had a new look. “You would think that all these changes would have caused a lot of confusion and made the band fall apart, but we were willing to make it work,” said flute player Allison Thomas. “The changes were for the better, which gave us a feeling of pride every time we performed,” added drummer Frank Hood. From band camp in mid-August to the endless hours of practice during the year, the students put their all into each and every performance. The band spent many hours after school and on week nights practicing to execute and perfect every move and every note they played during their halftime show. “Everything looked more coordinated, and we looked like we really knew what we were doing,” said majorette Strutting her stuff, majorette Patti Dunn leads small flag Beth Allard and Kim Austin around the field. captain Patti Dunn. All the hard work and adjustments to the changes paid off when the band entered the Seminole Sound Spectacular on Sept. 24. The band brought home a trophy for third place overall and a first place for the best use of woodwinds. This fine performance was soon followed by an impressive showing at the Largo Invita- tional Band Competition. In the preliminary show, the band placed second, which earned them a spot in the finals. Before the night was over, the Tornado Marching Band placed sec- ond in field show, third in parade, and third overall. The band also received trophies for the best use of woodwinds, and, out of twenty bands, Bill Durst was named best drum major. Band director Mr. Robert Smith incorporated a modern show design, breaking away from traditional design. In order to add a more upbeat, jazzy style to traditional British music, Mr. Smith arranged favorites such as “Foggy Day in London Town,” “Michelle,” “Rule Britannia” and “Chim Chim Cheree.” Devotion was a major factor that made the band the suc- cess that they were. Highlighting every football game, the band put on a dazzling performance. ▼ Band 257 Band case of the butterflies by Karen Clemow at eft, right, left, right, left . . . Am I in step with .everyone else? What if I do get out of step? Oh, no! I forgot the next part of my music! What do I do now? . . . Right, left, right, left.” Many questions and problems may have run through a band member’s mind as he was marching down the street during a parade, causing a severe case of butterflies in the pit of his stomach. As parade season came to a close, however, parades got a bit easier to handle and less scary. Although there were many complications, parades were meant to be fun and entertaining. “The whole pur- pose of a parade is to entertain the crowd and give a good feeling to people to enjoy and share with others,” stated small flag captain Beth Allard. Just marching down the street and playing during a parade was difficult enough, but for this year’s Clear- water Christmas Parade, the band tried something very different. What they attempted was very unique and no other band in Florida, to their knowledge, had ever done it before. It started out as a normal parade, just marching and playing, but every time the band reached a certain portion of their music selection “Winter Wonderland” something very unusual happened. The band stopped playing and marching, turned around toward the crowd, and SANG. Yes, after many hours of singing “Winter Wonderland” again, and again, and again, the band mem- bers got it to the point where it actually sounded quite good. Well, that wasn’t the end of their surprising perfor- mance! When they got finished with their singing, they turned back around and finished marching along. That probably sounds pretty normal, but the only trick was they marched along backwards for the rest of the song. “It took a lot of hard work and practice, but we were really excited about what we had accomplished when we saw how much the people really liked it,” commented trombone player Mike Mosher. For this year’s Christmas Parade, the band also had an instrument and uniform dress-up contest. Each section decorated themselves and their instruments in the Christmas spirit and were judged. The small flags won with their uniforms fixed up to look like Santa’s helpers. They were said to be the cutest and to have the most Christmas spirit. The band walked away with a second place overall and a first place for their general effect. Although parades were an exciting part of the band’s activities after football season was over, their concert season was also very important. During concert season the band got the chance to prove to themselves as well as to their audience that they were not only good at playing peppy songs and getting people psyched up, but they were also very talented musicians. “When we hear what a good job we can do during a concert, it makes us feel really good about ourselves and the band as a group,” stated Janet Kearny. Along with the Spring concert, the band put on a special concert just for the Super Bowl fans. The band welcomed the hundreds of people who came into the Port of Tampa on a special cruise ship just for the ’84 Super Bowl and the many other privately-owned ships with a special concert on the docks. The band was especially invited to do this by the Super Bowl Committee and felt very honored that they were thought of. Drum major Bill Durst commented, “I feel very privileged that we were asked and I think everyone else feels the same way. I think it was also a very good experience for everyone involved.” The football season ended, but the band still went on. There were many things that kept the band busy through- out the year, but all in all they got through it pretty well. For the most part, they even had fun doing it! y Adding their special part to the drum solo, the majorettes do their best to add that cute touch to a well-known song. 258 Band Concentration on the drum major is a very important part of keeping in time with the rest of the band. Mary Bennett is trying her best to do so, while she is also involved with playing the song. The major job of a drum major is to get the crowd involved with the band’s performance. This year’s drum major, Bill Durst, has a lot of fun while he accomplishes this task. Band 259 260 Vocal Music Vocal Music inging with style by Anne Sunne ar o, Rae, Me, Fa, So, La, Te, Do” — that’s the way the VonTrapp family in the “Sound of Music” learned how to sing. At C.H.S. students learned how to sing by joining the choir. When people thought of “choir” they imagined a group of kids dressed up and singing in church. Well, it didn’t happen to be that way. There were many different groups at C.H.S. such as Headliners, Windsong, Concert Choir, Women’s Choir, and Freshman Choir. Each was very individual and unique. Headliners were a talented group of girls that sang and danced. These sixteen girls were part of a special chorus line. They performed in school and in outside engage- ments, singing such songs as “Button Up Your Overcoat,” and a medley of Hollywood songs. Their hours of hard work during school and after school showed up in their performances. In order to join this unique organization, the girls had to try out. After making it they worked all year long to perfect their techniques. Windsong was another special group of students. How- ever, this group consisted of nine girls and nine boys. They concentrated mainly on harmony in such songs as “Africa,” “Where Is the Love,” and “Where Do You Keep the Music Playing.” Together they sang and danced to the hilt. Precision was needed in order to make everything flow in their performances. One of the main incentives to join Windsong was the enjoyment they received from it. “This was my second year in Windsong, and even though I’ve had to put a lot of time and effort, I’ve never regret- ted one minute of it,” stated Jeff Drobney. Concert Choir was a large organization consisting of cont. The lights were bright, the auditorium was full, and the voices were hushed in anticipation. School performances were a large part of the rewards of being in Windsong. Singing one of their favorite traditional Christmas songs, John Jenkins, Jeff Drobney, Skeet Spillane, Damon White, Rodney Chapman, Alan Cozart, Todd Mers, Artie Kirby, and Jerry Hurst perform with perfect harmony. A chance for the choir to break up their daily routine is welcomed and appreciated. Disney World is just one of the many places where they performed throughout the year. Students Tina Martin, Bill Bryant, Missy Ward, Rodney Chapman, and Susan Honey take time out to visit the many attractions. Much of the vocal music students lime was TSklfH llJHJy ielieuis a ing for their December 6 Winter Concert.

Their successes included being selected to sing at Disney World in the candlelight procession, and attending the All County Music Festival on February 17. In addition to those events, they were involved in the Florida Vocal Association Competition in March. They also worked closely with the Gulf Coast Symphony. These many events, plus the hours of training, produced a very good choir. Another of the choral groups was the Women’s Choir. Anybody who was willing to work could join, and eventu- ally the choir consisted of thirty dedicated singers. They practiced every day on songs such as a medley of “My Fair Lady,” “Everybody Rejoice,” and “Camelot,” plus they put on productions all year long. The last group was the freshman choir. It had thirty to thirty-five singers, the finest quality of freshman singers in the school. They enjoyed getting up in front of hundreds of people and singing “Good Friends,” “Dance With Me,” “Madrigals,” and Hungarian Folk songs. For being new- comers in school, the freshman class showed real spunk. With all of these groups, there was still room to expand. The Choral Department expanded to include a keyboard lab and string class. These courses involved such instru- ments as violin, string base, guitar, and viola. Since these classes were open to anyone interested, they were in demand. More students were getting involved with this growing department. These groups, with all of their other activities still got involved with pop concerts in a late spring production and mini concerts for music week March 5th thru the 10th. Ms. Jeanne Reynolds summed up the choral de- partment with her comment, “I think without a doubt C.H.S. has the best student body around. It makes my job not just a job but something I really enjoy. It is a privilege to work with such talented and dedicated students Getting ready for the holiday season, vocal music students sing Christmas carols at the math club Christmas party.

Any staffer would retort to this comment, “Picnic? Ha! It was work.” Yearbook season officially began immediately after the distribution of last year’s book. This meant that over the summer, while friends and family were beaching, mailing, and vacationing, Aqua Clara staffers had to pester local merchants and businesses for ads to meet their $400 per person quota. Summer meetings and workshops (such as SIPA) also kept staffers’ minds full of “yearbook” instead of “vacation.” Lee Meddin, who attended the SIPA work- shop in South Carolina, stated, “SIPA really got me ready to tackle the sports section.” Summer work paid off when the first deadline (all color, of course) hit on October 31. The staff had devised a system under which all copy and pictures would be re- turned in perfect shape to the section editors, a full week before deadline. After working for a week until 9:00 and 10:00 PM after school trying to finish the sales slide show as well as the deadline, advisor Mrs. Judy Cannaday decided the “system” still had a few kinks.

Birthdays were always a cause for celebration in fifth period, and, with twenty-five people on staff, Aqua Clara averaged two to three parties a month. And when things slowed down after the December deadline, the staff had a meeting at T.G.I. Friday’s to discuss production tech- niques. In the annual Quill Scroll Pub Bowl, Aqua Clara bravely met Clearlights challenge to a match of volley- ball. However, on December 17, after a courageous fight, Aqua Clara went down 1-2. “The only reason they beat us was because they outnumbered us two to one, and the volleyball was warped!” stated Aqua Clara staffer Rox- anne Moshonas. Yes, sometimes yearbook was fun. If it hadn t been, probably no one would have been willing to put in the hours and hours of work that went into the 368 page book. In-service days invariably became workdays, holi- days like Thanksgiving and Christmas became workdays, and weekends were workdays. Sometimes it seemed like it would never end. The staff got a break, though, when they bought an Apple lie computer. It took over the boring, time-consuming jobs like alphabetizing, typing, indexing, and bookkeeping. The only problem it present- ed was competition among staffers for computer time. Yearbook definitely had its ups and downs. Downs were deadlines, missing pictures, and rotten copy. Ups were parties, production meetings, picnics, and the ever- useful computer. But at distribution in May, the Aqua Clara staffers’ pride in the finished yearbook made all their headaches worthwhile.

Clearlight pholding the tradition by Scott Zebny I f the names Screwz, Ju-Ju, Mark-up, Boob, Scumbag, Schnuggle-bum and Wahoo mean anything to you, then you obviously know a lot about fine journalism and the Clearlight staff. Although the staff had to struggle through a change in leadership, with the guidance of advisor Mrs. Shirley Moravec, it still managed to maintain its usual standard of excellence. Ad manager Scott Zebny replaced Mark Nie- mann as editor-in-chief a third of the way through the year. With Scott and his trusty side-kick Susan Shoaff came the attitude of, “No matter what happens, we’re going to have fun!” And fun they had, but in a way only Clearlight staffers could enjoy. One game that every staffer was forced to play was called “rejection.” Staffers ventured forward in groups of two and three to sell their ad quota. To win, a staffer had to return to room D-6 in one week with at least $75 in ads. The winners received a pat on the back from Scott and the right to see the sun rise the next day. The losers weren’t quite this lucky. Of course while selling their ads, staffers were also required to spend hours of fun interviewing people, tak- ing pictures, and writing their stories. Clearlight published stories on subjects such as drunken driving, dangers in dieting, and Scientology. “We really worked on improving our writing this year,” said Susan Shoaff. Clearlight was nominated for the “Gold Crown Award.” In order to receive this honor they had to win five out of five All Columbian Awards. Only three school newspa- pers are picked from the South, and eighteen in the whole country. After selling all of the ads, and completing all of the stories, six or seven staffers would pile into their cars and drive to the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg to typeset the stories. “When I told my friends that I’m going to miss school the next day, they all thought I was lucky. Little did they know that I had to spend all day typing. Most people didn’t realize the amount of work we had to accomplish while we were there,” said assistant sports editor Julie Con’t 268 Clearlight paste-ups, otherwise known as camera ready work, re- quires steady hands and a great deal of patience.

Then came the most enjoyable stage in the production of each Clearlight, paste-ups. In between playing darts with the exactos and baseball with the T-squares and rubber cement balls, the staffers managed to piece to- gether the final production of each issue. Staffers spent hours after school in the “Pub”, or publication room, pasting down and straightening their stories on the pages. As production manager, sophomore Mark Walkup’s main responsibility was to run to the 7-Eleven to get the Big Gulps and potato chips. Ad manager Laura Bubin con- fessed that paste-ups were her favorite part of Clearlight. “I spent close to 20 hours doing the ads each month.” But when all of the work was done and the issue came out, the pride each staffer had could not be matched.

I really enjoyed it,” said Debbie Hanley about Fathoms maga- zine. Fathoms, Clearwater High School’s literary maga- zine, was published annually. The magazine consisted of original stories, poems, and artwork submitted by students. “Students usually aren’t interested in litera- ture, and it’s good for students who are interested in literature to get together and make something for ev- eryone,” said Keith Armstrong. To encourage submissions, the Fathoms staff had contests with cash awards for the best story, poem and artwork. Any student at C.H.S. was eligible to submit work. The Fathoms staff raised money for their magazine by selling advertisements to community businesses, selling candy canes during Christmas and accepting donations. “ The Fathoms staff are students with dedi- cation that work hard to produce the best work they can,” said Mrs. Ellyn Kingsley, the advisor of the maga- zine. Fathoms offered any student the opportunity to see his or her original work in print. KiKi Caffentzis, a Fathoms staffer, supported the magazine by saying, “The magazine has something for everyone. It is a blend of many talents and ideas. Everyone could bene- fit from reading it.” ▼ Fathoms offers students the opportunity to see his or her original work in print.

The purpose of the computer club is to update the information on the many new things happening in the world of computers. CHSCCC NFL Ak blazing start N.F.L. by Candace Loehn L eader — (Le’dar) n. 1. a person who leads others along the way; a guide. 2. one in charge or com- mand of others. A combination of writing and speaking skills, and knowledge of American Governmental procedures gave the members of the National Forensics League the principal influential capacity to be leaders. To be a member of the national organization, one had to have been in debate or public speaking class, and had attended one or more debate tournaments. Club spon- sor Mr. A. J. Anderson stated, “The students we tend to get are very industrious students with earnest goals in the areas of law, broadcasting and politics.” The purpose of the club was to unite those students who showed talent in the areas of speaking and to pro- vide for opportunities to enter scholastic speech con- tests. In the contests, judges looked mainly for the con- tent of the speech. From there, each judge had his or her own way of scoring. They may have looked for how the speech was delivered, the eye contact, and how the voice carried along with the clearness of the voice. The members could participate in these contests, also called tournaments, in one or several different areas. Some of the areas included congress, oration, interpretation, tra- ditional debate, Lincoln-Douglas debate and extempo- raneous speaking. How did the students prepare for these contests? Depending on the time to prepare for the speech, they went to the library to uproot information — not only the pros of the subject, but also the cons of it. This equal amount of information helped the member prepare bet- ter for any questions that might be asked. In a debate contest, the student was given the subject a week ahead of time to prepare. All members helped each other in this type of contest by sharing information and giving any helpful advise. During an extemp speech, the stu- dents were in an absolutely quiet room and given 30 minutes to prepare the speech. The students were then on their own. John Peeples stated, “The N.F.L. en- hanced its members’ ability to speak in public forums. It also increased our understanding of how the govern- ment was run.” Over the course of the year, the club members par- ticipated in several tournaments around the Tampa Bay area. They competed at area high schools, such as Jesu- it High School in Tampa; Robinson High School in Tampa; Countryside High School in Clearwater; and Debaters 1 thru 6 all attended the same class third period. Mike Krouskos, Debate 6, Tina Photiadis, D ebate 3, and Ben Branan, Debate 1, all read the procedure on how to approach writing a speech, with Mike giving some pointers. the Academy of Holy Names in Tampa. N.F.L. president Mike Krouskos commented, “The N.F.L. does one of the most important things possible. It helps to strengthen the speaking and vocabulary skills of our future leaders.” “ ‘Our future leaders’, the club members seem to be living up to this expectation,” said Mr. Anderson. “A number of our past members have gone into political careers, and others have gone into broadcasting.” De- baters who performed well were Mike Krouskas, Chuck Hinton, David Moss, Candace Loehn, Tina Photiadis and Arthur Rubin. It was a promising year, with some members winning places in national contests. Mr. Anderson stated, “We’ve had a good year, and look forward to perhaps even producing a television show for cable TV.” ▼ CHSCCC by Antoinette DiLiberti C omputer Technology was found not only in large corporations but also in homes, schools, and small businesses. A big part of the American lifestyle was the continuous learning of computer tech- niques and programming, and Clearwater High School was one of the many schools where students were be- coming computer literate. The Clearwater High School Commodore Computer Club (CHSCCC) was a new addition to the school’s organizations. When asked how the club got started, advisor Mr. A. J. Anderson answered, “There were a number of students who owned Commodore Computers and wanted to learn more about their computer.” “Having a Commodore Computer at home, I joined CHSCCC to further my knowledge of the computer and its many features,” commented Jeff Sanders. A few favorable aspects of CHSCCC were that the members were able to exchange many types of pro- grams, and continued to expand their user’s group tape library. This library consisted of games, utilities, busi- ness programs, and educational titles. Sophomore Mike Pagano commented, “Being able to exchange programs with fellow members of the club was not only an interesting experience, but also worth- while because we were able to learn from the ideas of others.” There wasn’t as large a turnout as in other clubs, but it is expected that more people will join due to the growing interest in computers. ▼ NFL 275 ww Chess Interact aking the right moves Chess con Pot by Kelly Palms A s the U.S.S. Enterprise drifted through space on its five year mission to “explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man had gone before,” Captain James T. Kirk and his first mate Dr. Spock bent over a board on a table in deep concentration. Kirk: “King to Queen’s level three.” Spock: “Checkmate!” The object of their attention was “Three-dimensional chess,” or what this year’s chess club called “Chess Cubed.” The chess club tried to come up with variations on the age-old board chess game. Senior club member Robert Rupholdt com- mented, “We finally figured out how to play 3-D chess and a game with four people, and they’re both really fascinating.” Although membership in the chess club dropped to six from last year’s twelve, the members struggled to keep chess alive at CHS. Robert explained the drop in mem- bership, saying, “Usually a lot of people show up in the beginning of the year, but they quit when they don’t win any games.” The entire club met every Wednesday after school in E-l with advisor Mr. Huska for two or three friendly bouts of chess, which normally lasted until four o’clock. The chess club boasted two number-one players, Joe Thias and Robert Potter, who shared the “CHS champion” title. Not only did the chess club compete among them- selves, but during second semester, they traveled to schools with rival chess clubs such as Dunedin and Countryside for tournaments. Tournaments consisted of play-offs between the schools for the champion title, and players had to record each of their moves on paper in chess notation for later analysis. A lot of students might have wondered, “Why would anyone want to join the chess club?” For members, the answer was easy. Kenyon Potter replied, “I’m in the chess club because I’ve played since I was four and, above all, 1 like it.” His brother, Robert Potter, stated, “I joined because I needed someone to play. I can beat everyone at home except Kenyon!” Interact: Front row: Trlcia Weglarz, Kim Johnson, Kevin Freel, Lena Bender, Denise Lewis, Kim Flarton, Kristin Wlckman, John Tender, Theda Faklls.

During the Homecoming events, the club took first place in both Tornado Tales and the float decorating contest. Not only were there the fun type of club activities in Interact, but there were also the serious ones. President Wendy Seaton, Vice-president Denise Lewis, Secretary Elizabeth Bialow, and Treasurer Chris Mariani planned to raise money for the vaccination of children in Haiti. Their fund raiser, which brought in from ten to twenty dollars a week, was the school bookstore. “Working in the school store looks good on college applications,” said Keith Arm- strong, the store manager. The school store opened at 7:15 every morning for half an hour, and gave students the opportunity to purchase needed supplies. None of the projects could have been done without the help of Interacts sponsors, the Rotary Club and teacher Ms. Kim Booth. “Our organization is just forming this year, but we had a super group of officers and a terrific club. We have a lot of hard workers, and our club will continue to grow stronger and will become one of the major clubs at CHS,” stated Ms. Booth, y 276 Chess Interact is an active club and takes part in many worthwhile activities for the school and community.

Griffith Bryn-Alan Computer Math eeting of the minds Math by Roxanne Moshonas M u Alpha Theta may have had the sound of a fraternity, but it was far from that. Mu Alpha Theta (its initials spell “math”) was commonly known as the Math Club. The Math Club did more than have meetings to solve trigonometric equations. They participated in Homecom- ing Week by entering a skit in Tornado Tales and decorat- ing the halls the morning of Homecoming. A costume Halloween party was held at member Walter Crosmer’s house in October. In December, a Christmas party was held after school in the cafeteria. Members had a gag gift exchange, and Windsong performed a few numbers. The gag gift Scott Sheplak received was an enema; he promptly filled it with water and squirted other Math Club members. He commented, “The party was getting kind of boring, so I just put my gift to use to liven things up” Normal elections were held at the end of last year with the election of the usual offices. Hectic schedules and a large membership, however, forced the officers to dis- solve their offices and work together. The officers were: Norman Belson, Jane Williams and Cheryl Martin. Meetings were held the last Tuesday of every month. Cheryl Martin said, “We discussed upcoming activities at the meetings, but we also tried to bring a little math into them with handouts and lectures.” The Math Club had connotations of being a bunch of brains who liked math. This was a false view, however. Math Club members got together and had fun in a learn- ing atmosphere. ▼ Computer by Sue Espey S ave, load, list, print, bits, bytes, break, Basic, For- tran, Pascal, Auto 10 . . . sound confusing?

Other officers of the 53-member club included Chris Marich, vice president; David Maas, secretary; and the new sponsor, Mr. Michael Way. The computer club combined fun events such as chal- lenging other clubs to sporting matches like soccer, with projects like adventure contests (games of logic and rea- son) on the computer. Club members planned a spring trip to EPCOT, and sold computer Christmas cards rais- ing about $125 dollars. They hoped to be the first school to have an electronic bulletin board. “When we get the bulletin board set up, students with computers at home will be able to get access to the class computer and leave or collect mes- sages, read about upcoming activities, and collect home- work assignments,” commented Chris Marich. With new goals and plans for the computer club, the new sponsor and officers set out to improve the club for students and also have a good time.T Computer Club: Front row: Wells Russell.

Let’s vote on it ... ” With the help of President Scott Sheplak, and sponsor Mrs. Linda Smith, the Student Government Association organized many trips and social events for the student body throughout the year. “Scott has been terrific all year long; he does everything he can for the students, and sometimes even more than that,” stated Mrs. Smith. Along with just about every other club or organization of CHS, the Student Government Association (SGA) had many fund raisers during the year. Some of these were the sale of pom-pons during football season, Homecom- ing corsages, Christmas stockings, garters, and key chains. SGA’s biggest fundraiser for the year was the Homegoing dance, game, and fashion show in the spring. Collecting money to buy presents for some of the low income families of Clearwater during the Christmas sea- son was the main objective for the “White Christmas” promoted by SGA. This event, sponsored by the Red Cross, presented gifts to over 100 children. Fourth period classes “adopted” a child, collected money, and pur- chased presents for their child. The names of the children were fictitious but their real ages and sex were used. A party was given on December 17, where the gifts were given out to the children by a real, live Santa. SGA also sponsored a canned food drive during the Thanksgiving season, in which students brought in canned foods to give to the Salvation Army. Over 1,300 cans were picked up the day before Thanksgiving, which provided a Thanksgiving dinner for about 100 families. To make this event more exciting, a contest was promot- ed by SGA. The contest said that whichever first period class brought in the most cans won a breakfast. Mr. A. J. Anderson’s class won with 300 cans! Trying to get a sponsor for a club who knows something about that club or organization sometimes proved to be a bit difficult. However, the Student Government Associ- ation had definitely accomplished this. “1 think it was mainly because of Mrs. Smith that SGA was such a suc- cess this year,” commented Chris Wacker. “I love being the sponsor of SGA. I enjoy being active with the school, especially since I am an alumni of this school. I also feel very close to the officers and members,” shared Mrs. Smith. ▼ Front row: Bridget Bagley (corresponding secretary), Erin Griffin (treasurer), Scott Sheplak (president), Carol Midyette (vice-president), Pamela Demps (secretary).

Quite a few students found a good solution was joining the Key Club. Not only were they able to meet new people, but they were able to help out their school and th ir community. There were approximately 150 students who became members of the Key Club. Applying for the club required a 2.0 grade point average and $10.50 dues per person. These dues helped the Key Club go to State Internation- al, which was a convention held in the spring. Key Club helped the community by getting involved with the Sparkling Clearwater Day. This was a day set aside for people to go around Clearwater picking up trash and making Clearwater “sparkle”. “Picking up trash isn’t one of my favorite things to do, but it did make me feel good to know I was helping,” said Christine Hill. One of the biggest contributions to the school that the Key Club did was painting the stadium. This job was needed badly, and appreciated greatly by the school. Christmas proved to be a busy time for the Key Club. They participated in such things as singing Christmas carols at nursing homes, and throwing their annual Christ- mas party. “Singing Christmas carols with the Key Club was a lot of fun and put me in the Christmas spirit,” said Patti Brewer. They also held a canned food drive and contributed toys to needy families with children. One of the fundraisers held by the Key Club turned out to be famous around Valentine’s Day. This was when the Key Club sold carnations and delivered them to the buy- er’s friend or sweetheart. The people who led the club in its many activities were President Jane Williams, Vice President John Hoopes, who was replaced by David Dinger, Secretary Sue Espey, Treasurer Joy Taylor, Publicity Manager Harley Robin- son, and Photographer Scott Zebny. y 1 Front row: Scott Zebny, David Dinger, Sue Espey, Mark Christiansen, Jane Williams, Joy Taylor, Charlie Robinson, Jeff Zebny, Michele Nlsen, Angie Palmer, Gina McClain, Kathy Rogers, Beth Iley, Shelly Walton, Trisha Allred.

Key Club 283 German Latin link with foreign culture German by Kelli Geoghegan urv eutschen haben mehr spass — ” otherwise ■ known as “Germans have more fun!” This slogan became the motto of the CHS Ger- man club. Throughout the year, the club tried to prove they had “more fun” through parties, meetings, and var- ious club projects. The German club consisted of 32 members who chose officers at the end of last year. President Keith Dalton, Vice-president Larry Williams, Secretary Elaine Reis, and Treasurer Joe Belson worked closely with their spon- sor, Mrs. Buckalew, to organize the club’s three main projects. Their first project was a fund raiser which was widely celebrated around school. It consisted of the selling of different colored sticky, chewy little animals otherwise knows as “gummi bears.” Dalton commented, “Gummi bears are not your typical type of candy. We’ve sold them for a few years, and the demand is incredible. We sell out a whole shipment in two or three days.” The bears were sold for two weeks in December, and the money raised from the little monsters went into the German club’s other activities. Their second project was a convention held in St. Pe- tersburg from April 12-14. At this convention students presented their skills in seven different competitions in- cluding Grammar, Listening Comprehension, Dictation, Speaking, Culture, Poetry, Reading Comprehension and, the most difficult, Combination Challenge. Club member Norman Belson stated, “The convention provides a great opportunity to meet other people interested in German, to compete in individual competitions, and to participate in a ‘Wettbewerb’ (a brain brawl). It’s a lot of fun!” The German club’s third project for the school year was a foreign exchange program which took place during a three week period in April beginning on the 16th. The foreign exchange program consisted of ten or more stu- dents from West Germany who stayed with CHS German students. “Having someone from a foreign country stay with you is a unique experience. You get to learn about their culture and customs which, to us, seem very strange. I think all of the students who have hosted a student feel that the lasting foreign friendship is the most important part of our program, and that is what our exchange is all about,” said Dalton. The German club spent numerous afternoons with the exchange students participating in planned tours, parties, picnics, and a trip to Disney World which was paid for by the German club’s fund raisers. The German club provided a link with a foreign cul- ture, while at the same time giving German students an opportunity to get together out of school. Dalton sur- mised the club’s success, saying, “I think club members enjoyed our picnics, German convention, and other ac- tivities. I know I did!” T Latin by Candace Loehm 441VT emo est tamfortis quin rei novitate pertur- I betur.” We all hold near and dear to our X hearts that noble phrase given to us by Julius Caesar himself. Oh . . . you don’t know that one? Where have you been lately! Well, the Latin club mem- bers were here keeping up to date, and had reason to be proud of it. To have been a member of the prestigious club one must have taken Latin and have been currently enrolled in the class. Consuls Anne Bunker and David Crandall led the 150 Latin club members. We’d all seen them, and had known who they were right from the start. They were the ones who for initiation wore their bedsheets to school one day early this past fall. They preferred to call them togas. Even after that the club was active in participating in many various events including X-mas caroling at the nursing homes, monthly parties, and special Latin oriented competitions. They closed the year with a Latin banquet in which the Latin I students in the organization played slaves to the other members of the club. The masters dressed up their slaves, made them sing and dance, but could not do anything to permanently disfigure them. Club sponsor, Mr. Charles Davis was enthusiastic about the club, and thought highly of its many members, “They’re a great group! They ruled themselves really, and we had a lot of fun together.” Club member Chuck Hinten added, “Latin club is probably the most active club in C.H.S. because of the interest the sponsor had taken in the club. No other sponsor that I have ever been involved with has ever thrown themselves so totally into a club despite the size of the organization. He took a per- sonal interest in every member.” “The best part of Latin club is participating at the district meet,” commented Steve Parks. In February many of the members participated in the district conven- tion held at Brandon High. The members competed in areas of academics, which consisted of written and oral tests and Olympic skills, including chariot races, track, tug of war and other extras such as the egg toss or the sack race. Commented Mark Coristiansen, “Latin club was a lot of fun; it was a terrific place to meet new people. I really enjoyed participating in the district competition in both the oration and Olympic areas.” Oh . . . what does Julius Caesar’s phrase mean? Your guess is as good as mine; maybe it’s something about those goofy pajamas — how should I know? It’s all Greek to me. y 284 German Latin 285 One of the best things about Christmas is the receiving of gifts. A popular club activity is exchanging gag gifts.

The fiesta is held in the cafeteria. French Spanish oreign affairs French by Kelli Ruggie W hat combines wine, cheese, perfume, fash- ion, artistic works, and the Eiffel Tower into one common group? France. Over 70 million people use French as their native language and, until recently, French was the universal language of diplo- mats. Some students took French for the political aspect while others simply wanted to learn the language of lovers. The requirement for the French Club was not all that difficult. One simply had to be a French student. The French Club exposed members to all aspects of French cultures. Valerie Anderson, Jeff Becker, Laura Brown, Susan Brown, Melissa Johnson, Jennifer Kurgas, Andrea Laney, Alexandra LeCher, Suzanne West, and sponsor Mrs. Brenda Nelms, were offered a chance to tour France July 8th through July 30th. One of the highlights of the trip was spending a week in Paris touring the Arch of Triumph, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum. They then made a brief stop in Geneva, Switzerland. Their next stop was in the tropical Rivierce, famous for its glittering casinos. Among the famous places toured were Chateaux of the Loire, Nor- mandy, Rouen and Versailles. Those students that did go on this overseas expedition had to pay their own expenses. The French Club was busy towards the end of the year preparing for S.P.I.F.’s and the French convention. S.P.I.F.’s, (St. Petersburg International Folk Fair), held yearly at the Bayfront Center, was a festive celebration for all nationalities in the world. It was held February 24th. The French Club and other foreign language clubs took a cultural field trip to attend this celebration. In March the French Club also attended the French con- vention in Orlando. The convention included competi- tion in speeches, plays, and impromptu speeches. The French Club was not all that big, but they did get around with Andrea Laney, president; Cheryl Bar- cenas, vice-president; Darrell Childers, treasurer; Carol Childers, secretary; and Anthony Zinge, historian, y Spanish by Kelli Ruggie H ave you ever been to Miami? If you have, you know that Spanish is the second most impor- tant language in America. After learning this, students rushed down to the guidance offices and signed up for Spanish. Well, maybe not everyone, but enough to make up an active Spanish Club. November brought with it the initiation of new Span- ish members to the Spanish Club. In order to have been in the Spanish Club one merely had to be a Spanish student or have been in the Spanish Honor Society. The Spanish Club offered students the chance to get to know each other as well as learn and take part in cultural events. Like most clubs, the selling and consuming of food was on everybody’s mind. All foreign language clubs joined together at Christmas time for a fiesta. In Febru- ary, during Valentine’s week, the Spanish Club sold candy. In the month of April, the Spanish Club attended the annual Spanish Contest in Orlando. Students competed in categories that required them to memorize a speech, present a play, or even make a speech. The Spanish Club officers were Courtnay Campbell, president; Scott Sheplak, vice-president; Kathy Rogers, treasurer; and Heather Hicks, secretary. The Spanish Club was more than an academic club; it was often a social gathering. Adios.T The theme for the French Club’s annual Christmas party is Joyeux Noel. Vice-President Cheryl Barcenas serves French cuisine to the 25 people attending the party. Spanish 287 Being in the DECA program enables Jill Janoski to leave school early to go to work.

DiLibertl ii b) V 5L.. ji Work Experience he working world DECA o r | by Leslie Rondeau and Roxanne Moshonas O n-the-job experience was one of the most impor- tant factors students encountered while looking for a job. Students who participated in Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) received that on-the-job train- ing by forfeiting part of the school day to go to work. DECA provided leadership training and marketing competition on school, district, state and national level. Sponsor Mr. Eugene Risner said, “I hope to have lots of students reach the state level.” Contest levels included advertising, finance, credit, food marketing and general merchandising. The club entered the competition on February 6 on the district level. The members had to pass a written test with a score of a 70 or better in order to move on to the next level. DECA had a membership of 38 including the officers: president, Lisa Schmelzle; vice president, Jill Janoski; secretary, Roni Soloman; treasurer, Jay Thompson, par- liamentarian, Mary Rodgers; and reporter, Gabe Duck- ett. DECA provided a great learning experience, and Lisa Schmelzle said, “DECA helped students get early starts on their careers and it gave them the experience to go out and set a goal.” Senior Duina Bossom commented, “Because I was in- volved in DECA I decided to continue my education on the college level, which I might not have done if I hadn t joined.” DECA helped many students decide it they were college bound or job oriented. T DCT by Leslie Rondeau I f students needed training for a job or help in finding one, they could take Diversified Cooperat- ive Training (DCT). DCT helped students train for jobs they wished to obtain in the future, such as upholstering, newspaper printing, photography, autobody repair, auto mechan- ics, carpentry, masonry, and electrical work. As well as training students for jobs, sponsor Mr. John Roberts helped students find jobs. “By being involved in DCT I learned how to find a job and get into the routine of obtaining one,” stated Sunday Ste- ward, who worked at Sears Roebuck and Co. in the men’s department. Forty-one juniors and seniors participated in this program which lasted two, three, or four semesters. A student taking DCT received one and a half credits per semester. The DCT program was very successful in helping students with problems involving jobs and work train- ing. “DCT helped me to learn how to perform in a job— like atmosphere,” added Dennis Blume. Dennis worked as a dietary aide at Clearwater Community Hospital doing various jobs like cooking, washing dishes, cleaning, and putting together special meals for patients. Dennis had worked there for three years as a part-time employee. In the end, DCT offered students a helping hand in the extremely competitive adult business world. ▼ Work Experience 289 FBLA Usherettes united effort FBLA by Anne Sunne a f joined FBLA because it helped me to establish an occupational goal, and aided in developing my character. It has developed skills that will help me the rest of my life, and it helps me to promote personal responsibilities as well as civic,” said Laura Fields, CBE-Chapter President. This turned out to be what most of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) members believed. Enthusi- astic members like Lisa Fields (Vice-President), Maria Prenovich (Secretary), or involved members such as Ben Branen, Denise Lewis, and Andrea Daly were willing to tell everyone what a great asset their club was to our school. “We do many things that benefit the community as well as our school, which helps to support the good feeling people have about CHS,” commented Lisa Fields. Denise Lewis added to this by saying, “I am interested in a business career, and FBLA offers an opportunity to experience the business world before I actually enter it. I became an officer to learn about office management as a future employer.” Students who joined FBLA were involved in local, dis- trict, state, and national activities. Some of the things FBLA did for the community were raising funds for the Florida Fire Fighters Burn Foundation, honoring secre- taries during National Secretaries Week, and collecting bags and boxes full of canned goods for the needy over the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays. FBLA also en- tered district, state, and national business contests, and spring and fall state conferences for leadership training. Clearwater High’s chapter received a big honor in San Francisco for their fine participation; they were one of nine chapters out of 638 in Florida to receive a Gold Seal Award. This award was presented to those chapters con- sidered in the top 15% in the nation. r “I joined the FBLA club to strengthen my confidence in school and work, to put myself one step ahead and closer to my goal, and to better understand business,” Maria Prenovich summed up. ▼ Usherettes by Antoinette DiLiberti ar 1 xcuse me, young lady, could you please show us where our seats are.” “Could you tell us where Section B is?” “What row is this?” “Why can’t I go a little closer? My son is on the team and I want to get a close-up shot of him.” Tired feet and ever-smiling faces were the results of Usherette duty at seasonal ballgames. Usherettes were a group of students who assisted at various school functions in the capacity of ushers, guides, and information givers. Their two main functions were to seat persons with reserved tickets at football games and to assist at basketball games. “Usherettes has given me the chance to meet and become friends with people who I otherwise wouldn’t have met, while doing something good for my school and the people in it,” remarked sophomore Rebecca Peters. Sophomore Jennifer Calendine summed up her feeling by explaining, “Being in Usherettes is a fun experience. We all work together to have school spirit. The Usher- ettes work and have fun at the same time. We all could not do without Mrs. Espey, our sponsor.” Banding together to help the sports spectators feel welcome, the Usherettes always maintained order through all the confusion, y ' 6 V yr A ' m Creativity plays a jor role in the making any club.

I.T.S. was an honorary organization that promoted theatrical experience and participation. Commented senior Freda Davis, “ITS is a very creative club that gave a lot of attention to the traits and creativity of its many members. It enabled students to enact their secret dreams and receive recognition for their many talents. The members were involved in acting and production techniques, and were required to earn a specified num- ber of points to be eligible for the society. These points were earned through participation in school theatrical productions. The actors and actresses of ITS Troop 1620 partici- pated in two district competitions. In the first one, held in December at Brandon High School, the members prepared selections in the forms of duets, musical the- ater, improvisation, pantomime, dance, and monologue. John Bortles competed in improvisation, while Julie Davis did two monologues and combined with Amy Durkee for a duet. Pam Jansen and Missy Ward also competed as a team in a duet. The second competition involved a one act play performed by the group at Osceola High School. Both competitions were judged by professional judges and evaluators. These competitions were just a few of the many pro- jects in which the ITS members demonstrated their ample talents. Along with these, ITS members also per- formed the play Blithe Spirit, which actors and ac- tresses, interested in earning points for the organization participated in. Senior Jeff Drobney summed it all up, “ITS was a great way to recognize talent and to be recognized. It enabled members to gain experience that will hopefully lead them to the limelight of stardom.” David Knight added, “For someone who is in acting as a profession, ITS was a great place to start.” ▼ Cheerleaders ore than meets the eye by Kelli Ruggie at ean to the left!

Captain Joy Palmieri, co-captain Donna Johnson, Sandy Reigal, Lisa Tillery, Susan Bush, Carrie Barber, Becky Sublette, Roxanne Kane, Linda Cribbs, Karen Steiner, Gay Lee Hunt, and Kim Rogers made up the 1983-84 cheerleaders. These cheerleaders did more than just cheer; they also helped in the community and with the Kiwanns annual auction. The cheerleaders often got together outside of school. “We spent some pre-game dinners together at Capogna’s Dugout,” said Senior Sandy Reigal. Along with celebrat- ing the Christmas season together with a party and a party at the end of the year, Joy Palmieri remarked that “We organized pep rallies, attended cheerleading camp, and had our lockers right next to each other. We were really good FRIENDS!” At camp they improved their cheering skills by learning new cheers, chants, and tum- bling. Cheering was more than just standing in front of the fans. It was the joining of a group of girls that not only cared if their team won or lost, but valued their friend- ship. 294 Cheerleaders Front row: Becky Sublette, Lisa Tillery, Carrie Barbar, Sandy Reigal, Susan Bush, Donna Johnson.

JV Freshmen n the move JV by Nina Scott W ith smiling faces and a heap of school spirit, the Junior Varsity cheerleaders were a group of spirited people who loved what they were do- ing. Working their hardest and striving for perfection were goals the JV cheerleaders had in mind for the school year. The practice schedule was rigorous: everyday except for Friday during football season, and Monday and Wednesday during basketball season. Cheering at games occupied the remaining weekdays. They were helped out by their sponsor, Mrs. Carrie Rivera, who did all she could for the cheerleaders. “Mrs. Rivera is just super,” stated Adele Logan. “She is so dedicated, and she has put a lot of time and care into sponsoring us. Each one of us is close to her in our own special way, and she could never be replaced. She is very special to us” Cheerleading took up a lot of time with practices, games, and fund raisers, such as selling stationery and Tornado hankerchiefs. “I love cheerleading a lot. It takes up a lot of my time, but it is worth every minute I put into it,” said Captain Kim Fry. All of the work paid off, however, when the squad went to camp during the summer. For their work, they won several awards including three superior, one excellent, and second place over all of the squad. The cheerleaders had a lot of fun out of school too. Surprise parties were planned for everybody’s birthdays, and the cheerleaders would also go out to dinner on some occasions. Cheering in front of large crowds was what the cheer- leaders had to do about twice a week. They agreed that they only got nervous the first few games of the football season. However, they weren’t nervous at all the rest of the season. The spirited group consisted of nine girls. The 1983-84 JV squad was Jodi Collins (Captain), Kim Fry (Captain), Jackie Arnold, Nina Gregory, Adele Logan, Tina Martin, Freshmen by Christine Hill H er palms were sweaty, and the sound of the announcer’s voice was drowned out by the rapid beating of her heart. “I should have smiled more,” she said to herself.

Over thirty girls tried out in December, and after the sq uad was selected, the girls started work immediately. With the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Wellman, the fresh- men cheerleaders practiced on Mondays and Fridays and cheered for the girls’ basketball games. “We used the old uniforms and bought shirts, shoes, and bloomers with our own money” said Roxanne Rarick. Many of the girls hope to someday become varsity cheerleaders and cheer at the football games. This wasn’t the first year that the girls had started cheering. Some of the girls had started before in middle school. “Cheerleading has helped me make some friends, and it has made me more responsible in my classes. Also, it has helped me to have more school spirit,” said Susan Coleman. Cheerleading has helped me get along better with others,” said Debbie Roach. Overall, the freshmen cheerleaders hoped that all the hard work and practice would pay off in later cheerlead- ing tryouts. ▼ Nancy Nelis, Wendy Norman, and Desirie Vallerso.

They not only spent after school time practicing because it was expected, but be- cause they loved it. The Tornadoettes traditionally performed at the half- time show of football games. Their routines consisted of grace, orginality, and perception of moves. Mary Earn- hardt commented, “All the time they spend practicing is really noticeable when they perform.” Throughout the year, the Tornadoettes were quite active in events aside from their halftime shows. They presented a skit at Torna- do Tales and participated in hall decorating during Home- coming. Top honors went to two members of the squad, captain Linda Palumbo and Kathy Nemeth. Linda was voted All- American and was invited to participate in the All-Ameri- can team in Mexico over Christmas vacation. “Visiting Mexico and the Mexican government was a once in a lifetime chance,” stated Linda.

Major Arril is a thirty year retired veteran of the Canadian Army who frequently comes to speak with the ROTC students. 300 ROTC ROTC ighting for excellence by Leslie Rondeau T raining and preparing for contests and rifle match- es took hours of practicing regularly on a weekly basis. Even when other students were enjoying vacations or leisurely weekends, members of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (MCJROTC) were devoting hours of time to their unit. All that hard work paid off when the MCJROTC unit was named the number one ROTC unit during the Florida Marine Meet, which was held on December 10. “The fight was fierce, but we came out on top with trophies in physical fitness, drill, and rifle team,” stated sophomore Michelle Oreste. On January 28, the ROTC unit participated in the Florida JROTC match at the Tampa Police Range. Out of the twenty-one schools entered, Clearwater’s ROTC came up from 4th place to 2nd place, with a score of 923 out of 1200. ROTC sponsor Colonel Ralph Moody com- mented, “Good match; the fight was tough.” The unit also rec eived an award designating them as a Naval Honor School for outstanding performance in mili- tary excellence. As well as receiving unit awards, numerous students received individual awards, such as: National Rifle Asso- ciation Junior Olympics Sectional Award — Lana Ward; Reserve Officers Association Award — Jason Dudjak; American Legion Gold Medal for Military Excellence — Jay Thompson; Sons of American Revolution Award for Excellence — Christopher LaPread; and Marine Corps Association Certificate of Achievement — Rodney Her- bert. The Marine Corps League had sponsored JROTC since its very beginning. They helped pay for uniforms, trips to such places as Virginia, California, and numerous cities throughout the state. They also donated the ROTC building. “If it wasn’t for the Marine Corps League’s generosity, the ROTC would not have been able to par- ticipate in as many activities as we did,” added Phil Suydam. Students involved in the program learned a great deal about what it took to be a part of MCJROTC. Cadet Janine Barry stated, “JROTC was an excellent program that taught leadership, self respect and discipline. I also learned all about the Marine Corps and responsible citi- zenship through various classes like marksmanship, phys- ical fitness, and listening skills.” Many students who graduated from the MCJROTC program planned to further their career in other military programs. Henry Dodge said, “After going through the NROTC program in college, I plan to go into the Navy as a military officer.” Janine Barry added, “The MCJROTC program is a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun.”T ROTC students prac- tice their rifle skills ny- merous times a week, out on the driving range.

It influences the students through the word of God. An Oklahoma student coach, Don McClanen found- ed FCA in 1947. He got the idea of utilizing the existing hero worship of the athlete to spotlight the greatest product of all, the Christian faith, while making a 3 minute speech at a church service on “Making My Voca- tion Christian.” He obtained support from clergymen, business leaders, and athletes in 1956 when the first National Conference was held. The group, under new guidance of Mr. James Ew- bank, discussed the problems of teenagers and how to solve them through Jesus Christ. They discussed such topics as how to deal with depression, and what hap- pens when a family member dies. “We meet two times a month and talk about anything,” stated Mr. Ewbank. The meetings were held at Karen Steiner’s home and usually lasted about an hour. “It’s really neat because it gives you a chance to talk and have a good time with people you might not know just from classes. The atmosphere is good; everyone is open and friendly,” stated member Jane Williams.T FHA by Antoinette DiLiberti H kay, ready, let’s sing The First Noel’; it’s ■ Ion page five.

As a nationally established organization, Future Homemakers of America (FHA) was a new club due to a mandate by the legislature. Vice-president Venus Bos- worth explained, “I joined FHA because it gave me a chance to be an active member of my school. FHA is a school club for boys and girls who work together to make us and our community better, and I enjoyed it very much.” Members of the club attended various meetings, com- petitions, and conventions. The CHS chapter attended the District VII meeting in Tampa on November 30, where they presented a skit on volunteers. “All of the FHA members showed some of our creativity while showing some of the ways to volunteer,” stated Venus. The club’s main objectives were to develop interest in Home Economics, to strengthen the function of the fam- ily, to promote greater understanding between youth and adults, and to provide the opportunity for decision making. Senior Pam Demps summarized her experiences in the club by saying, “FHA does not only help people to cook or sew, but it also gives them confidence in them- selves. Since there are not many teens who can cook or sew with perfection and with safety, it helps them to say, ‘Hey! There’s something that I can do!’ which is great.” y FHA 303 COMMERCIAL BANKS SERVING PINELLAS COUNTY BANK OF CLEARWATER BANK OF OLDSMAR BARNETT BANK OF PINELLAS COUNTY CLEARWATER BEACH BANK CLEARWATER OAKS BANK ELLIS BANK OF INDIAN ROCKS FIRST BANK TRUST COMPANY FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CLEARWATER FIRST BANK OF PINELLAS COUNTY FLORIDA BANK OF COMMERCE GREAT AMERICAN BANK OF PINELLAS GULF COAST BANK LANDMARK UNION TRUST BANK N.A.

They were all nicknames given by students to a club which an average of only 3% of the students were eligible to join. Sounds pretty prestigious, huh! But if a student could maintain a 3.5 aver- age or better, they deserved to be given mem- bership in this prestigious club. It was considered a great honor to become a member of the Na- tional Honor Society. Contrary to popular belief, being a member of NHS did not consist of having daily discus- sions on the use of trigonometrical functions and their relationship to the inverse interpolation of the contangent and secant of the logarithm of point pi 4 on a circle with circumferencial size of 2 pi. Nor did it consist of spending seven hours a day learning new techniques on how to get the most out of reading encyclopedias. Cheryl Mar- tin explained, “NHS isn’t really as different from other clubs as people think. We meet once a month after school, and discuss items such as induction, picnics, M M sales, volunteer work, and tutoring students.” Early in November, president Mark Niemann, vice-president Scott Zebny, treasurer Laura Saunders, and secretary Teri Magilligan, induct- ed all of the incoming members. Membership was limited to juniors with a 3.85 GPA or higher, and seniors with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Soon after the induction, all the members vol- unteered to help students after school. This tu- toring service was a special program that NHS sponsored. As the year progressed members found themselves selling Christmas ornaments at Countryside Mall, having a picnic at Brooker Creek Park, and having a Christmas party at co- sponsor Mrs. Marion Steele’s house. Yet Doug Taylor commented, “One of the best advantages about being in NHS was just having the initials NHS stamped on all your tran- scripts sent from the school.” y The NHS induction ceremony consists of many customs. One such custom is the signing of the club roster after formal ceremonies are completed. Newly inducted members wait as Cheryl Martin signs in. 316 Honors Clubs Front row: Chris Blyshak (sergeant at arms), Terl Magilligan (secretary), Mark Niemann (president), Laura Sanders (treasurer), Scott Zebney (vice-president), Paul Wieczorek (sergeant at arms).

Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, provided for these “special” students both recognition and an atmosphere in which they could relax and have fun. Said senior Kelly Palms, president of Quill and Scroll, “Through the club we try to make being on a journalism staff more than deadlines and work.” Secretary Roxanne Moshonas add- ed, “Most other students don’t understand the pressures and deadlines involved in being part of a journalism staff, and Quill and Scroll gives us staffers a chance to get together with others who share common interests and worries” The members of the club participate or have participated on school yearbook, newspaper, or magazine staffs. The club sponsored the Pub Bowl in the fall, which consisted of a volleyball game between the Aqua Clara staff and the Clearlight staff. Later, in the spring, Quill and Scroll sponsored the publications banquet, attended by the staff- ers and their parents. Clearwater’s Quill and Scroll also helped install a brand new chapter at Osceola High School.

Students attending the meeting spoke in Spanish and English about such subjects as convention, out- ings, and fund raisers. The club’s year started with the annual fall initiation, where nearly thirty new members were inducted into the society. This almost dou- bled the club’s previous membership. After the school year had gotten under way and initiations were over, the society began its fund raising activities of candy sales and car washes. The majority of the money made from these fund raisers went to paying for the spring convention in Orlando. The society sent to this convention the twenty members who had the highest grades and were most active within the society. “At convention, the students were tested on their abilities in on-the-spot contests,” stated member Melissa Seige. At the end of the school year, SHS held its annual banquet which all members were invited to attend. The club sponsors, Mrs. Mabel Gill and Mr. Barry Wright, and the officers, president Court- nay Campbell, vice president Scott Sheplak, secretary Heather Hicks, and treasurer Kathy Rogers, unselfishly gave their time and efforts to organize their many activities. Students had to meet a high grade require- ment to gain membership into the Spanish Hon- or Society. They had to maintain at least a B average or higher in Spanish 3. For some stu- dents this meant a lot of hard work, but it was well worth it. Courtnay Campbell summed up the club members’ belief by saying, “Spanish was a beneficial, wonderful language that was easy and fun to learn. The Spanish Honor Soci- ety increased our understanding of the Spanish culture and language.” ▼ Many assignments are given in Spanish IV classes for the purpose of practicing language usage.

Honor students work hard to obtain a 5.0 GPA Making the Grade by Anne Sunne I ntelligence: the capacity to acquire and ap- ply knowledge. This term fit a special group of teenagers. They wanted to learn more than just the “average” requirements for classes. They were the students who enrolled in honors courses. Most of these students were college bound and looking toward the future. They wanted to be accepted to the college of their choice. In .order to do so, they wanted to be able to show their success in above average classes. “I liked the preparation for college, especially the AF English class,” stated senior Joelle Godzich. Honors courses were offered in upper level classes in foreign languages, sciences, English, and math. Most students felt that these classes were not extremely difficult. But ask a student who took them and they’ll remember all of the sweat, blood, and tears that they put into those classes. Honors students were required to write many more papers than average students, and teach- ers expected excellence out of their work. “I expected well-written essays and well-written answers to discussion questions, as well as cor- rect interpretations of literature,” stated Mrs. Austin. Honors students worked hard for their goal of a possible 5.0 average. But they also enjoyed the extra effort because they felt they had the Taking notes is a large part of honors classes.

Australia II was the first non-American yacht to win the race in its 132 year history. At the close of the baseball season in October, Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox tips his hat in a farewell to his fans. Yastrzemski spent more than twenty years play- ing for the big leagues. The Year at a Glance Events occurring in America and abroad draw attention T he year had arrived. The year that had been forecasted by George Orwell forty years be- fore its time. The year when the U.S. presidential chair would again be open for contention. The year that would bring even more American advances in foreign relations, science, and technol- ogy. The year was 1984. Like every year, 1984 was filled with events that drew nation-wide attention. Perhaps the most hotly disputed event was the installment of U.S. Marines at the U.S. Command Post in Beirut, Leba- non. The American cry to withdraw the peace-keeping Marines strengthened when Lebanese terrorists blew up the building using a dynamite-laden truck. Two hundred and forty Marines died in the blast on October 23, 1983. Another military move of the U.S. was the invasion of Grenada by U.S. troops. Grenada, a strife-torn Carribean island, was seized by a surprise attack, allegedly to protect U.S. interests (main- ly university students) in the area. The media and public berated Reagan for his secrecy, saying that he had violated the first Amendment — freedom of the press. America continued to lead competi- tors in the field of space exploration. Shuttles Columbia and Challenger made numerous space ventures, allowing as- tronauts to perform tasks such as launching, repairing, and retrieving sat- ellites in orbit, and maneuvering minus a life-line around space near the shuttle. The shuttles finally began landing at Cape Canaveral, Florida, rather than the California desert. In sports, Superbowl XVIII took place in Tampa stadium, and in the World Se- ries, the Baltimore Orioles tromped the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1. 1984 was also the year of the Olym- pics. At the winter games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, American athletes walked away with gold medals in the men’s sla- lom, women’s giant slalom, men’s down- hill and women’s figure skating. U.S. ath- letes won silver medals in the men’s sla- lom, ice-dancing, women’s giant slalom, and women’s figure skating. The sum- mer games took place in Los Angeles, California. February, 1984, marked the 20th an- niversary of the Beatles’ landing in America, and November 22, 1983, com- memorated the 20th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Ken- nedy. 1983-1984 contained both tragedies and trials. But Americans met the year’s challenges head-on and, without a doubt, they made it workT After a state visit to Japan and Korea, President and Mrs. Reagan returned on November 14 with two Korean children brought to America for heart surgery. Little Lee Woo, 4, yawns after the long trip from Korea with 7-year-old Ahn Gi Sook while standing with the Reagans in Washington. Curious-looking Cabbage Patch dolls appeared on store shelves before Christmas. Shoppers, determined to snare one of these oddities for their children, literally fought with one another for the dolls. Ranging from their retail value of $38 to their black-market price of $150, each doll comes complete with adoption papers and a birth certificate. National Closing 365 Wide World Photos I The Last Goodbye The end of school means A s the final bell sounded, the whoops of freed students filled the air. Lockers slammed shut for the last time, and piles of discarded paper lay scattered throughout the halls. Students scampered off of campus, and as the last sound of their voices died off in the distance, the deserted school assumed an air of unnatural quiet. It was June 6, 1984, and the last day of school was over. The end of school did not just include the end of classes. It meant, for some students, saying “good bye” to friends they wouldn’t see again until next September, or in the case of seniors, indefinitely. It meant making sure all their buddies signed their year- book so that when summer started dragging they could pop it open and remember the good times and crazy things they did the year before. Sure, the year started out rough when the new princi- pals and deans brought their new rules and regulations. But eventually students forgot their apprehension of the new administration as they became busy with classes, clubs, sports, and friends, because these things were the things that made high school worthwhile. These were the things that made high school work. CHS students got involved in classes, clubs, sports, and friends, and without a doubt, we made the year wor k.? leaving friends behind 366 Theme Closing I a WE MADE IT WORK Without academics a school year would serve no purpose. In Mr Ford’s Chem II class, Charlie Robinson and Jeff Worth heat-dry an empty test tube so that it will weigh up precisely on the balance. People play an important role in the morale of a school. Their school spirit is evident at a basketball pep rally and Florida Fire- fighter’s Burn Foundation money-raiser on February 10th. Mrs. Marion Steele and Coach Roper hold a resisting pig while Principal Bill Williamson plants two kisses on its snout. Mr. Williamson was one of ten people in Pinellas County to be awarded the title of “Educator of the Year” by the Pinellas Suncoast Chamber of Com- merce. Theme Closing 367 Clearwater Times It Works! Seniors wrap up four years at CHS F rom the end of August to the begin ning of June . . . the school cycle was completed for four hundred and forty-one seniors to graduate and move on to bigger and better things. Whether the graduates were headed for college or careers, they all had one thing in common. They would all take; with them the memories of high school — the time when they ran into their teacher at Bennigan’s dur- ing happy hour, when their battery went dead at Crest Lake, when they made Homecoming Court, or even when they scored higher than 1000 on the SAT the day after Prom. These things wouldn’t seem important to anyone outside of Clearwater High, but they would always be a part of the class of ’84.
