Seniors National Merit Semi-Finalists National Merit Semi-Finalists. Melissa Menten, Sandra Penry, and Jeff Henning. 194 When they took the PSAT in October of 1984, they never figured they would be in the top 15.000 test takers. Yet Jeff Henning, Melissa Menten, and San- dra Penry found themselves in the elite group of National Merit Scholars. After a grueling selection process, in- cluding a recommendation by Principal Walsh and involvement in school and community activities, the semi-finalists were picked from numerous juniors across the nation who took part in the test. Being in the top 5% of the United States academically opened doors to the future.

Senior Officers: President Pete Bioletto and Vice-President Nancy John- son. Not pictured, Secretary Kathy Smith. Senior Spirit ’86 Being a four year high school gra- duate may not be a big deal” to many but to the class of '86 it was. For three years Dobson housed four classes and was the only high school in Mesa that ever had. Because of this, seniors had a head start on doing” Dobson proud. Class officers made the year memo- rable in many ways. The most popular accomplishments were the senior trips to Guymas, Mexico and Anaheim. Cali- fornia. They also designed graduation invitations and selected the senior gift. Being a community minded trio, the officers also organized a blood drive. Students and staff participated and left the school population with a feeling of having done a good thing for others. Senior spirit was a familiar battle cry and spurred the rest of the student body to equal the enthusiasm of the Class of '86. 193
