T EARIN' APART In choosing a col- lege. seniors displayed the spirit of the North and the South of the Civil War. Friends head- ed their separate ways to one day become ri- vals in the competitive world. The cause of the separation was due to different views and motives. While the ma- jority took it easy going into the state universi- ties. the rest strove to- ward smaller, indepen- dent colleges in search of better benefits. State people claimed that it was easier to get in with lower tuition fees and standards and was closer to home. The ones bound for the in- dependents, declared receiving a better edu- cation and emphasis on the individual and getting away from home. For social life, state people expected to find bigger, better par- ties. wild and crazy fra- ternities sororities. and a number of people to meet. On the other hand, campus life on in- dependents was more intimate. I expected not only spend more time with professors for extra help but also know everyone on campus,” said LaShun Barnes. Unlike the Civil War, there were no losers. Every senior was satis- fied with what they ex- pected. Mark Stulken said. We will one day end this bitter separa- tion where Dobson's Blue and Gray finally become as one.” FRONTLINE OF INSIGHT Taking a break from their Free Enterprise class, seniors meet with Mrs. Griffith to learn oi the bits and pieces of going to college, such as graduation requirements and scholarships UP FRONT Scott Miller chose to go to the united States Naval Academy in Annapolis.

UP FRONT Jill May Penny Mazierski Chris McCarthy David McCarvB© Chris McCormick IN 'EM DOWN In the summer of 1987, Seniors Terry Buske and Ed Morales traveled to the Soviet Union with the USA wrestling team. Terry, who started wrestling when he was a freshman, and Ed, who started when he was in seventh grade, took part in the USA Wrestling Organiza- tion's tournament. Both finished first in their weight division and were given a place on the team. While in Russia, the US and Russian teams practiced for three days, competing in a dual meet each night. The practices were more beneficial than the matches because more learning took place. The Russians were the most com- petitive wrestlers I've competed against, commented Ed Mo- rales. The team also did some sightseeing and traveled on the train from Moscow to Len- ningrad. Terry recalled an un- comfortable time on the train wher through a chain o events, we found ou‘ that the man in the ex tra bunk was a KGE agent. This experience proved to be memora- ble and enjoyable fo: both wrestlers. WRESTLING RUSKIES Chosen from th© fcp Arizonc wrestlers.
