Athletes and academicians excell equally In the past ten years the Aztec teams have racked up an impressive over 23 League Championships. Two years ago the Aztecs were moved from the Grange League to the more competitive, larger Empire League but that did little to slow down the acquisi- tion of league banners. That year the varsity basketball, varsity volleyball and varsity girl's basketball teams all took the league title. Virtually every sport has, at one time or another, earned a league championship. Even the lesser publicized sports such as golf, gymnastics, cross country, track and field and swimming have earned nu- merous awards. The awards seem to run in cycles with various sports seeing a few sparse years as the teams struggle to rebuild. Those re- building years pay off with winning sea- sons like the one the 1981-1982 varsity basketball team saw as they took the Empire League championship and en- tered CIF playoffs for the first time in the school's history. 1. Varsity Basketball player Keith Chalman at- tempts to block a shot by a Kennedy High School player. Last year,s Varsity Basketball team, coached by Mike Moore captured the first League title for basketball in the school's history. 2. Varsity gridders led by Dean Honaker crash through the pepster made sign onto Bradford field. The Aztec football team again entered C.I.F. playoffs only to lose to Los Altos in the final game. 36 - sports

Most fresh- men are used to the easier world of many assorted junior high schools, where the policies aren't as strict. When questioned what he thought about the strict tardy and absence policy, freshman Dave Turturo said, I hare it. Ir isnlt fair and it doesn't allow enough tarcliesf, Freshman Ron Crain had more to add, It's a drag. You can't go any- where, like home at lunch. Other freshmen had different sugges- tions about the whole thing. Said Sean Maiden, You should be able to come as late as you want. freshmen - 35
