QUANDORFF (kwan- dorf) 1. An obscure expression, sort of like nerd. i.e. Look at that quandorff over there with the plaid pants pulled up to his chest and the apple for his teacher in his pocket. ROWDY (raud-C) 1. A word used to describe students’ behavior during a 53-0 annihilation of a lo- cal football rival, i.e. The crowd got rowdy when the team scored another touchdown. UMM ... BUSTED ... As one of Mesa's finest issues An- gela Francisco and Jackie Shoe- han a citation, they fire a stern look of disbelief at him. This is a common sjght often seen coming back from lunch. STEP 1. BUCKLE-UP While mastering the many skills needed to become a licensed driv- er, Karin Behland flashes a smirk of satisfaction Mr. Kune's way. She is one of many who take behind the wheel driving at school I think outsiders per- ceive Dobson as being snobbish because we have a new school in a nice area. -Micheal D.

 As 1 made my way into the Social Studies Department, many of my senses were awakened. Walking deeper into this area I turned down into a smaller hallway and noticed Mr. Schedler’s class listening to a lecture. Hear- ing the typewriter stirred my curiosity. I looked behind me to see Mrs. Severance in the office typing up dittos. A JI'S LECTURE TIME, Mr. Schedler gets the attention of his fourth hour class whte getting his final point across about the times of Julius Ceosar. quick sharp whistle caught my attention as I proceeded down the hallway to spy on Mr. Schlimmer getting con- trol of his fourth hour class. Turning the corner, I heard a discussion in Mr. Howell’s so- ciology class. The Social Studies Depart- ment was full of such situa- tions. The combination of ieachers and students was what made this department run smoothly and successful- ly, said Ms. Me Clain. Students found exper- ience was the best teacher, when they did such things as the police ride-along. “The police ride-along in Ameri- can government was an ex- cellent way to learn about the judicial system, com- mented Amie Grau. In Free Enterprise, students learned the reality of the economic system. In this class you realize what pro- ducts are really worth, said Lance Smaw. Social Studies was filled with the knowledge of past and present. With the teachers help and a little ambition we make the fu- ture. Design by Kerri Carmody. Photography by Jason Fie- gel.

p rive it Home It was a typical day. The school year had just begun. The bell for lunch rang and 3,000- plus stu- dents filed out of their class- rooms and rushed to the parking lot, and that's when the accident happened. Fortunately, nobody was se- riously injured, but it did em- phasize the need for safety. “Staying Alive'', an awareness workshop co- ordinated by Iris Drower, was just one of the many ef- forts by the drivers educa- tion department to get this point across to students. De- signed for those with special needs, it was a week long program that featured slides, videos, and visits from experts on health and law enforcement. Meanwhile, the physical education department was busy looking out for every- one, too. Aside from what it did for the all-star athlete, what did the P.E. depart- ment have to offer the stu- dent who was not especially talented in sports or maybe even a little clumsy? This meant the average student that needed to take a P.E. class because of the gradu- ation requirement. Never fear because men and women weight-lifting, per- fect fitness, and adaptive P.E. classes were provided for just that person. Both the physical and driv- ers education departments concentrated on the indi- vidual. They provided pro- grams especially designed for the average person, and didn't concentrate solely on the outstanding ones. Design by Janell Droste. Photos by Cari Stonek.
