Mfce Shanks Chris Shaw Jackie Sheehan Jennifer Sheehan John Sheets NE OF THE GUVS Although often mis- understood and ste- reotyped by the mainstream of high school society, Dan Lee, Jeff Gonzalez, and Brian Swartfiguer, all three special edu- cation students, achieved success at school and at work. Working after school was a common activity among high schoolers. Working after school for Dan, Jeff, and Brian, was entertaining, hard work, and a good break from classes. Dan Lee worked at ABCO as a bagger. At school, Brian Swartfi- guer worked as a cus- todian and also helped the agriculture depart- ment by bailing hay and by doing various other jobs. Jeff Gonza- lez. who enjoyed the employees' after hours food fights at his work- ing establishment, was a prep cook at Apple- bee's. By having to over- come labeling, Dan. Bri- an. and Jeff proved their worth in the high school environment and outside in the real world .

UP FRONT John Wolfgang, on out- standing senior, enjoys playing the sax and hopes to become a doctor.

Maxwell considered the races to be the most exiting part of be- ing a pilot because there were up to 600 balloonists competing. By itself, no balloon went faster than any other, so races were a test of the pilots' skills. There was not much money involved in be- ing a pilot. Maxwell does did it for fun. Maxwell advised, Ballooning is exciting, so everyone should try it at least once to ex- perience it for them- selves. He believed that ballooning was the only way to fly.
