On that day, little did l know that by the end of the year how the 34 staff members and l would have grown so close The variety of personalities made for an interesting crew, which made for a reflection of us in our book. We started from scratch and together built a dream that was our best effort. ln the beginning we struggled for an agreeable theme. The question of Why do we even have to have a theme? was asked. Time went on to show how More than you know became the most appropriate theme for all of us. It wasn't just the unlimited pizza and submarines that kept 9096 of us here Friday until 10:30 p.m. on a deadline Friday nights. Your dedication makes us the quality publication that we are. Each and every one of you had a special effect on me. Times such as: locking yourself in the back room to finish your copy, exploding two-liter bottles of soda, dialating pupils after spinning into light from the darkroom, and not to be forgotten-the shopping basket full of junk food bought at the nearby ABCO can never be replaced. But of course, Without Miss Houpt's loving support, l would never have accomplished the most rewarding project of my life. Thank you all for the great memories. Without us all as a whole, we could have never have done it!!! Editor in Chief Chris Cordova The 1988 Soaring staff would like to acknowledge and give a special thanks to. . . ...The Faculty, staff, and administrators who were so understanding when we had questions and requests to ask them. ...Our parents, who spent endless nights awaiting our arrival home at 11:00 p.m. from a late night. ...Jim Updike, Bruce, and Pam for always being right on top of things, and for shooting the aerial view of the school. ...Steve Wirrig, Our Jostens representative, who when in need, brought us the unlimited supply of copy sheets. ...T-Bird Photo for the hundreds of color photos they processed for the opening and student life sections. ...Gary McSpadden who gave us his expert advice and help with photography. ...Ruby Brown and the other secretaries in the front office for the efforts to achieve all of our humorous requests. .. .Scott Stahl of Renditions, Who had the utmost patience with us, when creating our wonderful staff shirts. . . .Student Government for their heipfulness throughout the year. ...Mr. Ed Sink for the many hours of personal time he spent running off the special headlines on his computer for the sports sections. ...Karen Haveman and Joan Kullos in the bookstore for keeping our accounts accurate. to lock up the building, and clean up the mess. p.261 ...Mr. Chuck Bell, who kept the suppiy of red pens handy for us when we needed to borrow a box or too. .. .Our Miss Diane Houpt, who shared her knowledge, experiences, and encouragement, and helped us to acquire a common goal. Without her time and dedication this production could not have been accomplished. We love you!!! COLOPHON. More Than You Know, the 1988 Soaring, was planned and designed by yearbook students as a part of the school's journalism program. Soaring '88 was printed by Jostens Printing Company in Visalia, California. The in-plant representative was Dick Tristao, and the yearbook representative was Steve Wirring. Updike Studio of Glendale, Arizona took the color senior portriats and the underclass and faculty pictures. Updike also shot and printed photos to size in the opening color section and took the aerial photograph of the school. They provided valuable assistance and support. News Gothic Type was used for headlines, Body, and captions. Body type was set in 12 point with headlines in 24, 36, and 42 point. Special Headlines in the sports section were set on a Macintosh computer. Thirty five staff members in two yearbook classes prepared the yearbook for a school of 2,300. Approximately 7070 of the student body purchased a yearbook for a cost of 3520-25. INDEX 261 I

lVlore Than You Know: hanges Create Life eflecting on past experiences, sensing subtle changes in attitudes, anticipating all the future has to offer. Whether a freshman just getting used to the class load, or a junior preparing for the challenge of being the top of the ladder, every student ends the year realizing, if not understanding the changes in themselves, their school, their family, and their friends. Throughout the year alterations are made, and things adjusted to make life easier, and hopefully better. lt took a while for me to not be bogged down with all my activities and homework, but by the end of they year l've got it pretty well under controll, recalls junior DeDe Forewood. Not all changes can be comprehended at once. Especially when there are more and more than ever thought possible. Pieces of knowledge, little things that made existing easier were learned, and put into memory for future reference. Sophomore Tracey Fossum exclaimed, I finally figured out that room 300 is in the 200 north hall! It doesn't make sense, but at least l'll know how to find it now. Another change still in progress, even as students leave for summer vacation, is the addition to the 100 hall, so the special service kids will become a real part of the school. Values are built up, knocked down, and rebuilt constantly during high school years. Les City and John Germinaro, seniors organized a tail-gate party before the Varsity basketball quarter finals. Over 50 students congragated Thursday, March 3 to play frisbee, football, barbeque hot dogs and raise school spirit. Mr Art Nichlas, principal of student conduct checked everyone for alcohol as a precaution. When none was found, he expressed his pride in the maturity of the students, and continued, l hope you can do this more often, lt's what the school morale needs most... positive actions! Both inside and out of school, relationships change and develope over the years. Chandra Garcia, senior recalled, Freshman year, l met all these people and made new friends. Then l never saw them for two years straight. Senior year we shared a class again, and it was like we just picked up where we had left off, we were as close as before. For every ending there is a beginning, and every beginning brings new changes, new experiences, new feelings. As we look back and see how many ways we have changed, look forward to next year, the next decade, and know that you'll have more changes to grasp then you know. Closing 263
