Ss Y ou are here because your schools are a part of what’s right with American Education. Schools like yours are showjng the coun- try how to achieve excellence by setting high standards, maintain- ing discipline, and emphasizing the basics.

SENIORS _ Seniors gain patriotism through camp By Kristin Wingate Respecting the flag and country, feeling patriotic, and learning about the government process — not your everyday idea of entertainment. Some seniors shaped their futures by attending Boys’ and Girls’ State sponsored he the American Legion and Auxiliary. Girls’ State was held in Ellensburg at Central Washington University, June 15-20. Misty Cam- pin, Teresa Dewell, Maria Kolby and Lynn Russell all attended the conference. “It made me appreciate being an American. And it made me feel more patriotic,’’ said Russell. Boys’ State was held at Eastern Washington University, June 21- 27. Kent Erickson, Markus Klausli, Todd Rightmire, Chad “It sounded fun and it was a great Brenda Bensen opportunity,” said Ben Berger Lynn Russell. Yandenhaak, Brent Wolters, and Jay Yankacy all were chosen to at- tend. Overall, about 500 people attended each conference. Before being selected for each state conference, they were recommended, had a personal in- terview, and had to fill out an application. Having Federal Party Rallies, at- Mike Bishop tending city council meetings, lear- ; ning how the court systems work, Debbie Blackburn and learning the government pro- cess were just a few of the things they learned. “It was a good experience because it helped me realize how the government works better and because when | got there, | was put in with 50 or 60 people that | didn’t know. | met lots of new peo- ple and | learned to work together,” said Erickson. “It sounded fun and it was a great opportunity,” said Russell. 11 Travelers cover many countries By Alison Kennedy Last summer many seniors spent their vacation traveling in Europe. Robert Reed traveled the Soviet Union, Sweden, and Finland on a musical tour with the Vancouver Youth Symphony. Reed left June 28 and returned home July 12. “| like meeting the Russian teenagers. | visited Red Square in Moscow, Joseph Lenin’s Tomb, The Armory, St. Issac’s Cathedral, the Hermitage, and the summer palace of Peter the Great and these were all spectacular. | loved them!

Cara Jones toured Sydney, Melbourne, and Tasmania, Australia, and Hawaii with a volleyball touring team. She left June 27 and spent the first three days training in Oregon before leaving on tour. “It was neat staying with the families and seeing kangaroos and koala bears everywhere. It was winter when we were there and we froze.

SENIORS Graduation is officers’ top priority By Heidi Unick Choosing caps, gowns, and an- nouncements and Homecoming were just a few activities that kept senior class officers and other members of the senior class busy throughout the year. The senior officers, Scott Browne, president; Ray Fann, vice-president; Cara Jones, secretary; and Tanya _ Bozanic, treasurer; were responsible for picking the company who would manufacture the caps, gowns, and announcements, along with their advisors, Mr. Larry Willis and Mr. Scott Woord. After they and a select parent committee had decided on the vender, three mock-up announcements and several varieties of graduation at- tire were presented to the class for the final vote. All of this had to be done by the end of November. ‘“‘People don’t realize how hard it was to put Homecomin together,’ said Missie MacMillan. Fundraising was also a main con- cern of the class officers. Accor- ding to Fann, the officers tried to make money early in the year so that more time could be spent planning graduation and other ac- tivities. Their earliest fundraiser, selling senior parking spaces, brought in $550 and put the class budget at over $2,000. Missie MacMillan was the Homecoming committee chair- man. According to MacMillan, cor- Onation was a difficult project to put together. Her main concern was that people would find something they didn’t like and focus in on it rather than noticing the hard work and different ideas ‘that had shown up. “People don’t realize how hard it was to put Homecoming together. Coronation was so unusual making it more of a gall play rather than boom- oom, here’s your prince and princess’,’’” MacMillan said.

Chet Richards liked getting out early because the day went by faster for him and he put on more hours at work. After school, Jim Imhoff worked aS a maintenance superviser for Tanya Truck Lines. Alice Taylor spent her extra time going shopping, doing homework, and working at Dairy Queen. Todd Horat John Hoyer “Why stay all day when I could be doing something else,” said Debbi Hansen. 7 “I could get my hours done dur- ing the day so | didn’t have to work late,” she said. Having early dismissal gave Becky Huber Silvia Mcinnis a free hour to study Jim Imhoff in the library. According to Mr. Paul Schaefer, counselor, there were many seniors who could have had early dismissal but didn’t want to. “They wanted to be_ here because it was their last year and they were getting a free educa- tion,”” he explained.

Their jobs ranged from waitresses and waiters to nursing home attendants and auto repairmen. Some seniors work for their needs and some worked for extra money. “Il needed money for further schooling and transportation,” said Bronson Nyhus. Maria Senger’s money went for a new car. Others just did it for fun. “I had money for school and my car was paid for. | just worked for the extra money,” said Trisha Jonasson. ‘The money | earned from work helped my social life. | had money to go out on the weekends,” said Theresa McDonald. ‘The money I earned from work helped my social life . . .”’ said Theresa McDonald.

Everythin else just came as it happened,” Jonasson said. Some seniors found no problem arranging their time. “If you arranged your time wise- ly, everything worked out,’ McDonald said. Although working was sometimes ° difficult to handle, seniors thought it was good to start early. ‘It (working) was good for the experience and it made my resumé easier to consider for future employers,’’ said Nyhus.

That put him in the running for a National Merit Scholars hip. ‘““When | took the PSAT, | had no idea | would be involved in getting the scholar- ship,” Stach said. Other National Merit semi-finalists were Marc Perry and Maria Kolby. Other seniors showed ex- cellence within the community. Ray Fann and Christen Unick worked at the Westside Record- Journal. Fann was a football reporter. ‘It was good experience and it was fun writing about the football games. | would like to use this experience in the future,’’ he “It was a lot of work but I’m glad I was doing something I lik- ed,” said Christen Unick. said.

Heaven was sur- prised when he was accepted. ‘‘It was the easiest audition to take, but it was the most important because the symphony is one of the best,’’ he said. ; Michelle Schmidt showed ex- cellence in extra-curricular ac- tivities. She was president of FFA. Schmidt planned the Food For America program which was designed to teach younger students about food sources. 23 SENIORS Seniors gain experience with projects By Leah Ross Seniors involved in special pro- jects won't forget the unique ex- periences they gained. Students were able to focus on subjects of special interest by signing up for special projects. “| learned about synthesizers and electronic sound using a drum machine, synthesizers, an amplifyer, and a computer com- posing program,’’ said Brent Wolters. According to Wolters, Mr. Jeff Seely, his special project teacher, had abundant information about music. ‘‘He always told me his opi- nions about my work especially when he didn’t like somthing. | learned from his experience,” Wolters said. Maria Kolby chose to focus her special project on short story “...

My goal was to have something published by the end of this year,” said Kolby. Because Teresa Rieland didn’t have room in her schedule to take psychology, she centered her special project around human behavior. “I went to the library and did a lot of research. It helped me decide what | wanted to study in college,” Rieland said. Mack Pope was involved in two special project classes. He used both to work on rebuilding a car. In one ‘class he did the Bo work and the other the engine work. “| planned on going to Arizona Automotive Institute to become a mechanic so my special project helped me out a fot,” Pope said. 24.

Jeanette Bremer decided that she’d “never forget going to the Prom. We went all out in style — from the car we drove to dinner at the Yacht Club complete with non-alcoholic cham- pagne.

But now, as a senior, I’ve been in plays and | have a lot of friends and everything,” said Randy Jefferson. Kari Chadbourne said that she’d “never forget the pep assembly where we tore apart a stuffed rabbit (sym- bolizing Bellingham High School) into little shreds.” “Il never forget when | was a junior, Theresa and | stole a Bell- ingham sign with a blinking light and we couldn’t get the light to stop blink- ing in the car,’”’ said Tracy Maynard. “I'll never forget my freshman year. | fell asleep during band while Mr. Hansen was yelling at people for falling asleep in class,’’ said Theresa McDonald. “I'll never forget when Norm Ten- nyson threw Craig Austin into the gar- bage dumpster,’”’ said Bronson Nyhus. “Il never forget when Kevin Hall was with me and Kurt Deforest was with Darrin Cranford.

Kevin Hall said, ‘‘I’ll never forget on the Fourth of July Mike Clausen and | tried to outrun a cop out at the reser- vation and Mike turned on a dead end road.” Ben Berger said, ‘‘I’ll never forget when | first got my license and C.V. and P.K. and I, all went out with my mom’s car.

Steve Arant, Neil Coffelt, Chris Curtis, and Jay Yankacy were all signed up for the Air Force while Shawn Clemenson, Clayton Creasey, and Coady Pike were joining the Navy. Going into the Marine Corps were Darrin Cran- ford, Curt Eastwood, and Kincade Gerard. Both Arant and Yankacy left for basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio this spring because they wanted “to get an early start’ in their careers of law enforcement and mechanics, respectively. This was made possi- ble by taking two CWP classes and semantics first semester, and get- ting the counselor's approval. “I think I can get the most out of the Marine Corps,” Said Curt Eastwood. Each person had their own reasons ‘si selecting what branch they wanted to go into. “I don’t want to go on the ocean,” said Yankacy, “and | don’t want to be a grunt.”” “I think | can get the most out of the Marine Corps,” said Eastwood. Coffelt, however, had a different frame of mind. “There are more in- telligent poeple going into the Air Force than other branches,” he said. Although their occupations will range from mechanics to ex- plosives to law enforcement to be- ing an F4 navigator, most said they expected boot camp to be the ‘hardest part. But what about going to war? ‘lL really never thought about it,’ said Eastwood. 28 Lynn Russell Jerrod Saab Charalee Sanchez Kristi Scheele Evonne Schmidt Michelle Schmidt Rusty Schroeder Dawn Schuler SENIORS Maria Senger Jeannie Silves Greg Sizemore John Slaughter Troy Slosser Liana Smith Tracy Soffoniason Darren Stach Chemaine Super Barb Sweet Alice Taylor Linnet Thomas Trying at the Air Force look are Steve Arant and Jay Yancacy. ge 29 _ SENIORS Class finds Valerie Trottier graduation Angie Truschel expensive By Nicci Noteboom Graduation has been compared to finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but for most seniors the gold had been spent. Senior year was like being trapped in a never-ending money pit. Seniors paid from $18 to $48 for a senior picture sitting and up to $248 for a picture package. For graduation, announcements cost approximately 50 cents a piece. Caps, gowns, and tassels were in the range of $10 to $20. Class rings cost $100 and up; senior cruise was $35 to $40. Those planning to attend college spent $12 for the Scholastic Ap- titude Test and $13 for the Washington Pre-College test. Each college application also had to be accompanied by an application fee. Toby Turpin Christen Unick Heidi Unick “It’s worthwhile Candi Vandenhaak because it gives ou something to ook back on,” said Lisa Atwood. Seniors paid $10 if they wanted a space in the senior parking lot; another $25 for their yearbook; and a $2 assessment fee so they could have their picture placed in the yearbook in color. Most seniors covered the costs by working or had generous parents. The class was divided on whether the cost of being a senior was a worthwhile investment. “It’s okay if you don’t get a lot of the extras,”’ said Rick Hatch. “It’s worthwhile because it gives you something to look back on,” said Lisa Atwood. “It's sucks because you could be spending it on fun things,’ said Chris Gehring. The class did agree that the senior cruise was probably the best thing they spent their money on. “The senior cruise is the best because it’s the last time you'll see your friends,” said Paul Brainard.

Sweethearts gave each other know- ing glances. It had to be Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day was celebrated in a variety of ways. First, there was the Valentine’s Day assembly. The first portion of the assembly was devoted to semester excellence awards. Dur- ing the second part of the assembly social awards in categories like best smile and com- edian were announced. The theme for the awards was the ancient Olympics. The gym was decorated with pink, white, and red_ balloons and_ streamers.

Each contained els e a special message from the sender and a piece of heart-shaped candy. Sweethearts exchanged flowers and balloons, but the attendance office wasn’t filled to the brim with love tokens as it had been in the past. “This year wasn’t as busy as others because we had the Friday before and the Monday after Valentine’s Day off and some people waited till Sun- day to give gifts,’ said Mrs. Sandy Hall, attendance office secretary. y, __ ASSEMBLIES Hesitating about kissing the pig is Mr. Lee Andersen, mechanical draw- ing teacher.

For the Valentine’s Day assembly, February 11, students were elected for the best walk, class clown, and sweetheart couple among other awards. Although students liked assemblies, they also enjoyed the dances. The back-to-school dance, after the first day of school, was a hit. It gave students a senior. “T think that the chance to see The Veteran’s Day assembly was organized by Ms. Martin and the Boys’ and Girls’ State delegates.

Another dread- ed day of school was approaching. “Should | hit the snooze button or should | get up?” you ask yourself.

Alex Watts, junior Said je | ay there and listened to the . alarm.” ing Just as you started to nod off again in came your mother, and screamed, ‘‘Get out of bed and get ready for school!”’ After you had hit snooze again for the fifth time, you reluctantly dragged yourself out of bed. You tripped over your dog, and fell down the stairs. While you were half asleep in the shower, you heard your mother again, yelling, ‘Hurry up or you are going to be late!” Next, you ran to your room. “What to wear?, hmmm... .!’’ So you tried on all of your clothes trying desperately to find the perfect match. “When the morn- was bad, I knew the whole day was going to | eq be terrible,” said Brett Jurica. “Ah,” with a sigh of relief you had found the perfect outfit a green shirt and purple pants. For others, it was much easier to decide what to wear.

WEEKENDS STUDENTS The 2:30 bell rang on a normal, Friday afternoon. This was the signal for the weekend to begin for most students. For some, skiing was the best way to enjoy a weekend. Others liked to sleep in or just watch TV. But most liked to party, hang out with friends, and cruise on the strip. Tammy Jor- dan, sophomore, explained it. “I stood in the mid- dle of the strip, waited for a cute guy to go by, then | screamed for him to come back and asked him for aride,”’ Jordan said.

Skeleton from the past A human skeleton was found inside a chimney at the Georgia Pacific Corp. plant September 20. Dr. Robert Gibb, Whatcom County Deputy Medical Ex- aminer, who performed the autopsy, hoped to positively identify the skeleton through dental records. Although it was partially burned, a ‘‘fair amount”’ of tissue and internal organs were still present. Dr. Gibb estimated the skeleton to be at most, a few weeks old. Several speculations were made but no one knew for sure how the skeletons got there. As of March 2, no positive identification had been made.

JUNIORS 76 Glitz, glamour spice up junior float and hallway “Puttin’ on the Ritz’ was the theme that set the stage for Homecoming. Juniors used glitz and creativity to use the theme on their float and in their hall. The float had checkered pillars and two manequins. The male manequin was dress- ed in a black and white tuxedo, while his date was dressed in a red flappers outfit. The hall was darkened with black paper on the windows of the locker bay. The ceil- ing was covered with balloons and streamers. Paper glasses were put on every locker with each locker’s occupants written on them. Although the juniors did not win, they managed to pull a third place overall out of a fourth place fioat, a third place in class “TI don’t think there was enough class involvement this year ...” said Alison Strotz. competition and a second place in hall decorations. “1 don’t think there was enough class in- volvement this year, but if we all work together we can do better next year,” said Alison Strotz, class vice-president. Tara Jones and Heather Johnson were in charge of the float, while Elsa Ochoa and Stephanie Hanson supervised the decorating of the hall. During class competition, Rick Abell put his head on a baseball and twirled around several times then attempted to run 50 meters to the finish line in the ‘Izzy Dizzy” category. In the shopping cart race, Heather Johnson placed herself in a cart and was pushed along the length of the stands by Kim Mount. “The week went as planned and was real- ly nice in general,” said Lynn Sparks, junior member of the Homecoming committee. The junior Homecoming royalty were Stacy Christensen and Tyler Hetterly. ‘‘It was really neat being chosen with Tyler because we've been really close friends since middle school. It was neat being in front of the public representing the junior class,’’ Christensen said.

Before the TA’s could begin they had to sign a contract stating that they would abide by the given rules. One of the rules that students found frustrating was fin- ding their own transportation.

Their motivation may have stemmed from. their leaders. Sophomore class officers were Kristi Yankacy, president; Jennifer Sher- wood, vice-president; Kristi Rightmire, secretary; and Breanna Johnson, treasurer. To prepare for their school year, the class officers attended a leadership camp at Fort Worden in August. While at camp, they brainstormed ideas for the entire school year. According to Mr. Ted Genger, class advisor, ‘The students split up into groups to discuss themes and plans for the ye ar.” Sponsoring a lost and found fashion show, making a display case for “It wasn’t hard to come up with ideas. It just took a lot of time to create them,” said Breanna Johnson. veterans, and planning a moc, prom (MORP) were only a few of the ac- tivities that the sophomore class plan- ned for the year. “Probably the most exciting activity the sophomore class participated in this year was the MORP dance,” said Ms. Melissa Monda, advisor. The sophomore class hall decora- tions for Homecoming were silhouet- tes of people dressed up in 20's clothing. They also had play money on the walls with each sophomore’s name on the bills, “It wasn’t too hard to come up with ideas.

The class plac- ed fourth in hall decorations, second in floors, and fourth overall. Even though their hall did not win, “they showed a lot of creativity and imagination,” Miss Melissa Monda, class advisor, said, ‘They did a lot with the few materials and few peo- ple that they had.” The Hall took about six hours to decorate. Some of the people on the hall committee were Mindy Cassel, Kelly Thompson, Jennifer Sherwood, Sharman Barone, Marlene Garcia, Vida Rodriguez, Julie Williams, and Brandon Boothe. The sophomore hall had paper “They showed a lot of creativity and imagination,” Miss Melissa Monda said. money with sophomores’ names on each bill. The hall also had cut-out figures of flappers and ‘‘Al Capone’s Gang.” Their float was ‘excellent,’ Miss Monda said. Yankacy agreed “We put in a lot’ of time and hard work | was proud of the results,” she said. It took four days to make the float. The float was made to look like a cafe with a sign saying Club 90. The people riding on the float were Shelley Little as a bartender, Craig Arant and Kristy Yankacy as Bonnie and Clyde, Kristi Rightmire and Kim Mullin as gangsters, and Allison Ken- nedy and Julie Williams as dancers. The sophomore prince and princess were Jason Muggy and Stephanie Weden. “I was really shocked, | didn’t think that | would win!’’, Weden said. “It was fun, even though | couldn’t go out at half-time because of football,’” Muggy said.

SOPHOMORES New environment raises scores on sophomore MAT By Teresa Reiland The big round clock ticked quietly as over 250 sophomores leaned anxious- ly over their tests. This wasn’t just your standard, end-of-the-chapter exam. It was the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT). Thousands of high school sophomores all over Washington took the exact same test. The MAT was used by many schools as a way of comparing their educa- tional standards with high schools around the state. Test scores like these were part of the evaluation that helped FHS be recognized for National Excellence. For the first time, testing took place in Bingo Hall 262. This building was rented and the entire sophomore class was bussed there during first period. Students took the first half of the test one day and the second half the next day. Mr. Gary Jonson, counselor, said “Tt (test) was fun- ner and easier because the _ at- mosphere was vi ve ood,” said Jenny ummins. that testing was done this way to cut down fatigue. Subject areas covered in the test in- cluded reading, comprehension, vocabulary, math, and spelling. Accor- ding to Jenny Cummins and Craig Arant, the math and vocabulary were the hardest. “It (test) was funner and easier because the atmosphere was good,” said Cummins. Some of the sophomores said that the test-taking atmosphere was so relaxed that they caught themselves thinking about things other than the test. “1 was thinking about going home,” said Arant. Others even found themselves falling asleep. 1, “We saw dramatic improvement in language and vocabulary,’” said Mr. Ron Cowan, assistant principal. Accor- ding to Mr. Cowan, all areas of the test were up except for the math section. “For some strange reason, the math was down,” he said. But, overall, Mr. Cowan felt that the MAT test scores were a “‘really neat improvement.” Bernice Edwards James Elder Robert Evens Ron Fayette Fred Fetty Shawn Forbis Jason Franklin Aaron Gannaway Jeremy Garcia Marlene Garcia Jeff Garner Nathan Gauf Becky George Brian George Tiana Gitts © Beverly Goddard Karl Granacki Adorning the hallways are posters to get sophomores fired up for the MAT testing. .

By Jennifer Huber Accidents numbers, insurance rates, and the length of courses made it difficult for sophomores to get driver's licenses. Some students took a _ semester-lon class as part of the school day an others took it from Whatcom Community College for five weeks. “| think a semester was too much time for the amount of material covered. It should have been shortened to a nine week period,’” said Jason Nyhus, sophomore. To take the high school class meant giving up a period to fit it in a daily schedule. The cost was $70, which was considerably higher than the year before. “Compared to the price of the college, it was cheap,” said Dan “TI think a semester was too much time for the amount of material covered,” said Jason Nyhus. Rucker. The college course was only one night a week. The cost was $115. About one half of those students eligible took the college course rather than the high school class. “Il took it because it was faster and | didn’t have room in my schedule to take it as a class.” said Alison Kennedy. Insurance premiums - were another obstacle. Rates were dependent upon whether or not a student had a police record, and if they were an honor roll student. Those on the honor role were eligi- ble for a good student policy. This type of policy reduced boys’ rates by 25 percent and girls by 15 percent. The type of car a student drove was also a factor in insurance costs. The more expensive the car the higher the insurance would be. “If | didn’t keep pretty good grades, my parents wouldn’t let me drive at all! said Audra Bradford.

Cross-country was David Yuschald’s specialty. As a freshman, he set a record of 13:28 in a 2.6 mile race. This was the fastest a freshman had ever run a race of that length at FHS. Yuschalk’s intense training and focus helped him lead his team and make a name for himself in the Northwest League. “1 run without comiplaining and | seldom take a day off,” Yuschalk said. Since the age of 8, Jodie Mathis has shown horses. She has shown with the 4-H Western Wranglers for nine years; was the 1986 and 1987 Champion Huntseat compet ition. Mathis showed in both English and Western riding classes year round. Sometimes showing cut into her social life, but it wasn’t a great problem because she didn’t show every weekend. She was drawn to showing horses because her mother used to show. “T run without complaining and I seldom take a day off,” said David Yuschalk. Mike Moore marched to the beat of a dif- ferent drummer — himself. Moore not only played the tenor drums with the marching band, but was also recruited as the drum- mer for swing choir. Moore practiced an hour a day at home besides practicing during band class. He found playing with the band a bit more dif- ferent than playing with the swing choir. “It was a lot easier to play with the swing choir because all | had to do was keep a steady beat. With the band | had different pieces to play and the tenors were a lot harder than a set,’’ Moore said. : Helping people out was what Jason Nhyus and Craig Arant did as members of Whatcom County Search and Rescue. Not only did they go on emergency searches with the sheriff's department, but they also helped out with Operation Santa Claus and with security at local dances. In November they were called to look for the wreckage of a downed plane carrying the administration of Western Washington University. Arant and a local reporter from the Bellingham Herald discovered the wreckage along with the dead passengers. His discovery didn’t affect Arant until a cou- ple of hours later. “| kept thinking what if it would’ve been me or someone | knew,” he said. “SOPHOMORES Wendy Schaffer Lori Schroeder David Senger Don Sharp Carolyn Shaw James Shaw Jennifer Sherwood Mark Shintaffer Sean Snook Brian Sievers Brian Simmons Sam Slaughter Becky Smith Kelly Smith: Rachel Smith Judy Snyder John Solomon Chris Soren Dawn Stewart Daniel Stokes Clay Street Lisa Tate Jodie Teeter Kelly Thompson Wade Tiffany Verla Toby Jeff Truschel Jason Tuttle Kenui Ullin : Don Urguhart Kim Vandenhaak Brandi VanderWoude Jon Vagrimbergen Randy Vogelzang Charlie Wagner Carrie Ward Cary Watson Stephanie Weden Diane Whitbeck Jenny Whybark Christine Willand Eileen Williand Working one on one with an elementary student is Tina Olson. 98 SOPHOMORES Rerolamanieheare Work experience , at Kids Campus . good for Olson By Teresa Reiland Toys crashing.

Tina Olson, sophomore, worked at a daycare center every morning for first and second periods. It was a semester-long project put together by Olson, Mr. Larry Willis, advisor, and Mrs. Ardis Rieland, owner of Kids Campus Daycare. The responsibilities that Olson were given included watching out for the children to keep them safe, ean: them their morning snack, and keeping them occupied.

Toys, trikes, and a bunny cage were scattered around the lawn outside. Olson was in charge of helping the children feed the bunnies. She also supervised trike races on the deck.: As the semester progressed, an after-school job at the day-care opened up and Olson took it.

Homecoming and fund _ raisers weren't the only place that freshmen showed their spirit. At the moving-up assembly the entire freshman class was humiliated. The class was herded into the gym to say the alma mater. Chad Vandenhaak, ASB president, conve- niently tricked them into bowing to the seniors numerous times because he thought that they needed some exer- cise. Inspite of this, the freshmen were good sports. The class advisors were Ms, Angie McDonald and Mr. Rick Brudwick. The freshman class was energetic and willing to work. Homecoming said a lot for them,’’ Mr. Brudwick said. “Considering | was a first year teacher, it was hard to say who advised whom. In spite of that we both had a great first year,” Ms. McDonald said. “The year went so well because the frosh class showed the spirit and pride that we have,” said Jennifer Andersen. 102 Homecoming was filled with new experiences for the freshman class. ‘| feel we did really great. We plac- ed second overall, and that’s the highest freshman have placed in a long time,” said Karen McKay, class president. The freshman royalty were Jessica Reed, princess; and Andrew Thomp- son, prince. Thompson enjoyed being royalty. “It was fun. Riding around in the car that was kind of cool,’’ he said. Freshmen were surprised at all that went on during Homecoming week. “It was a lot of work but everything came together and it was a lot of fun,” said Keith McKay. They were also impressed by the coronation assembly. “| thought the coronation assembly was well done. | was surprised they could turn the gym into something so pretty,’ said Karen “It was a lot of work but everything came together and it was a lot of fun,” said Keith McKay. McKay. The freshman float was chaired by Meagan Unick and the hall chairman was Denise Hawkinson. The float plac- ed second and was decorated with an old car and couples going to a dance. The hall placed third and had dancing silhouttes and a guest list that included the entire class. Pictures in the living room and parents acting as chauffers were a few Homecoming experiences. ‘‘Keith McKay’s mom had three cameras,” said Heather Ingram. Some freshmen got around parent carpooling by renting a limo. ‘The best part was not having to go with our parents,” said Gordy Logan, who shared a limo with his date Mishelle Bruce, and another couple, Hectore Fonseca and Susan Symons.

Mariea Jones had a special way to organize her locker. “Books on top, garbage on the bot- tom,” she explained. Besides being crowded and messy, some freshmen found their lockers hard to get open. Jerrod Chadbourne described them as ‘‘child-proof lockers.”” “| had to pry open my locker,”’ said McPhail. According to Tracy Travers, getting “Books on_ top, arbage on the ottom,” Mariea Jones explained. to their lockers wasn’t exactly a joy either. “| hated the (locker) hall.

Randy Relethford had a problem getting to his locker between periods also. “All of my classes were on the other side of the building,” he explained. Many freshmen decorated _ their lockers with band posters and mirrors. Hawkinson had comic strips in her locker while Curry had cut out pictures of guys on hers. Chadbourne liked having a mirror in his locker. “I like to see what my hair looks like after | brush it,’ he explained. Trying to keep the lockers clean was another problem for freshmen also.

An unfortunate few found them to be true, but to most they were just stories used for scare purposes. “All those stories people told you about how you get canned and stuff were totaly over exaggerated,’ said Dennis Feeney. “All those _ stories’ people told you about getting canned and stuff were total- ly over exaggerated,” said Dennis Feeney. “Most of the things | heard about being a freshman weren't true | never got picked on and those who did were probably pop-offs and deserved what they got,’”’ said Heather Carlson. Some frosh weren’t that lucky and did happen to feel the wrath of the up- perclassmen but took it in stride. ““Itsdidn’t bother me when | got pick- ed on. | just ignored them,” said Bar- bara McKay. Freshmen did find that there was a lot more homework in high school and the teachers weren’t as lenient with discipline. The consequences of breaking the rules were more severe than in middle school. “| had lots more homework than before and the teachers were mass stricter. You had to be careful not to break the rules,”” said Shawn Hansen. Though high school was a culture shock for some it had many advan- tages over middle school for others. “You had more opportunities. There were more things to get involved in. | made more friends and the guys were cuter,” said Carlson. ————— —— — Jennifer Lee Kristi Lueunberger Gordy Logan Jeff Lorenz Alona Lutz Ezra Mackner Dean Macy Wendi Maines Jeff Manchester Nikki Mann John Manwaring James Mattingly Paul Ackerman and Howard Berglund, seniors, torment Bobby Morrison and Matt Harriman in the student lounge.

FRESHMEN Freshman views of first dates fairly positive By Lori Davis The time was 6:45, Friday night. Something was different that particular night at the Smith household. Suzie was in her room frantically changing between the three outfits. Her parents were in the family room anxiously awaiting the new arrival. Dad was on the sofa pretending to look at the paper, but he was really thinking about what approach to use when HE came. Not every first date was like the one described above. Freshmen had their own interpretation of what it was like. “My parents were willing to give us a ride and do anything they could to make it fun,’’ said Gordy Logan. “My mom would ask questions. My dad was more laid back,’ said Ellie Palmer. Others described how they felt about their date overall. “IT had a really fun time. We went out to dinner, to a dance, and then to a friend’s house,” said Lori Scheele. Shock registers in Tami Monson’s face as she watches a horror flick with Dewey Solomon at a local movie theater.

Getting scolded by mom for staying out too late are Jeffrey and John Shaw, brothers. 110 FRESHMEN Curfews are made to be broken | freshmen say By Keith Coleman Arriving in high school, becom- ing more mature, and going out Friday nights were all part of being a freshman. Becoming a freshman, in most cases, also included a curfew. Curfews in’the freshman class seemed to range from around 11 p.m. to having no curfew at all. No matter what the curfew, however, it was often broken. The reasons for breaking curfew included riding with a drunk driver, running out of gas, having a dead car battery, or getting in a car accident. However, the reasons for break- ing the curfew and the excuses us- ed to justify breaking the curfew weren't exactly the same thing. “We ran out of gas and were late by three hours, but | told my mom that | forgot to set my clock ahead “T told my mom that some old friends from California were up... and she believed me!” said Lori Scheele. Climbing back into their room after a late night out are Jeffrey and John and she bought it,” said Meagan shaw Unick. “I-told my mom that some old friends from California were up and that | needed to spend some (well a lot) of time with them — she believed me!’’ said Lori Scheele. As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end.” Freshmen paid the price for break- ing their curfew. “Mom yelled at me and Dad just sat back and watched; | just couldn’t go out the next night. It was my brother, John, who got me the curfew in the first place,” said Jay Weden. “Nothing really happened to me,’’ explained Brian Bensen. ‘‘ My arents were used to my sister and er only coming home _ occas- sionally to do laundry so | didn’t get punished for just breaking my curfew.” 111 FRESHMEN 112 Travers, Knutson gain experience on varsity team By Debbi Hansen Being a freshman and turning out on a varsity team was not the average, everyday combination. But for Tracy Travers and Kim Knutson, this achieve- ment was a reality. At the beginning of the volleyball season, two positions were open on the varsiy. “Because of the fact that there were only three senior players this year, we needed to bring in freshmen to gain experience,’” Coach Terri McMahan said. According to assistant Coach Jan Cunningham, Travers and Knutson were chosen for the team based on their attitude and their willingness to work hard. “Both of the girls showed a lot of ef- fort during the season,” said Jen- nifer Jones, senior player. Training to become better players, improving their ability, and lending support to their teammates were a few of the goals that Knutson and Travers set for themselves. “Both of the girls showed a lot of ef- fort during the season,” said Jennifer Jones, senior player. ‘‘They were always prepared and had great at- titudes,’’ she said. “I've learned a lot, ’’ said Knutson. “I've learned to take the game serious- ly and to learn from my mistakes,’” she said. “Being on varsity made me realize that there is more to school besides algebra,’’ said Travers. ‘‘I have also im- proved my ‘want’ for volleyball,” she said. Were they ever intimidated by other players because they were younger? “Not really,’ said Travers ‘| might have felt that way, but | had Kim there too, who was just as young as me.” “At times | felt intimidated, but not because the other players were older, but because they were so skilled,” Knutson said. Both girls said they planned to con- tinue with volleyball. ” Kellie VanMetnitz Brandi Wagner Stacy Wagner . lan Walker Alfonso Washington Christin Washington William Washington Jay Weden Thomas Weeks Chris Whitaker Angela Wiebe Josch Wilks Jody Williams Robert Williams Piotr Wojcik Christina Wolten Mark Wright Robe Yardley Volleyball team members, Kristi Yankacy, sophomore, Jennifer Jones, senior, Jenny Cummins, sophomore, Tracy Travers, and Kimber Knutson, freshman, warm-up in preparation for the upcoming match.

Another source of entertainment while loung- ing in front of the TV was music videos. Students chose Michael Jackson’s ‘“The Way You Make Me Feel’’ video as the most popular music video of 1987-88. Most students liked watching rock music videos, but hard rock and. pop music videos had their own following. MOVIE REVIEW... Movie going was a popular weekend activity.

It was funny seeing how SCOPE ou §$@ABR$ With summer ahead, many students looked forward to sleeping in late, getting a tan, and catching up with the latest on the soaps. “T thought the “Young and the Restless’ was funny because everyone slept with each other, ‘Aaron Lancaster, sophomore, said. “I watched ‘All My Children’ and thought it was addicting because I always wanted to know what was going to happen next,” James Shaw, sophomore, said. “I watched ‘Santa Barbara’ because I thought Eden was a babe.

I liked the storylines that had people cheating on each other,” Rick Abell, junior, said. “I watched ‘General Hospital’ because I thought Duke was gorgeous. The storylines were good because they always kept everyone coming and going,” Tena Markel, sophomore, said. “I watched ’'The Young and the Restless’ because I thought all the characters played their part good, especially Jill, “Shelly Little, When Stalin heard of another, similiar murder committed near the U.S. — Canadian border, he headed north to pick up the trail. He then hooked up with an experienced trail guide to track down the fugitive. Good Morning Vietnam — Robin Williams.

Queen Elizabeth Theatre Spring Concerts Bruce Springsteen AC DC INXS George Michael What s Your “lypel Car radios blared and Walkmen could be heard halfway down the hall as many different musical styles were listened to by FHS students. Pop rock, also considered radio music by some teens, was a popular source of entertainment during after-school hours. “Pop” singers included Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Belinda Carlisle, Jodi Whatley, and your newcomers Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. “T like Tiffany’s tape because it had cool songs on it,’’ said Brandi Vander- woude, sophomore. The ‘‘New wave,” ‘New sound” from groups like U2, Oingo Boingo, The Butthole Surfers, The Cure, Pseudo Echo, and Depeche Mode, appealed to a different group of teens. I liked U2’s ‘The Joshua Tree,”’ because their music had meaning to it. It was very expressive,” said Erin Wood, junior. And hard rock, (head bangin’ music) was popular with a large group off students. Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Dokken, And Def Leop- pard were included in this category. “Judas Priest,’ ‘Some Heads are Gonna Roll’, got me psyched for the games,”’ said senior basketball player Kelly Moeller. Jeff Pilson, bassist for the group Dokken, rocks out at a concert. ‘Heavy metal music pumped you up, got you hyped,’ said Mike Clausen, senior. Individualist musical appetites could be found in all ends of the school. George Michael’s Faith tape, ““I Want Your Sex’’ was a favorite of Keith Col- eman, sophomore. “The words excited me, and the rhythm got me rockin’,”’ he said. Duke Pray, junior, named U2’s The Unforgettable Fire LP, ‘Pride in the Name of Love’ as a favorite. ‘‘Because it was about Martin Luther King,’’ he said. ‘THE TIMES Every Saturday morning, Sea Scouts headed towards the San Juan Islands in their 86 foot boat, the Discovery. Karl Granacki, sophomore, was just one of many who made this trip every Saturday morn- _ ing. The trip took them to one of the San Juan Islands where they swam, played frisbee, and visited with other Sea Scout troops. THE Long, short, permed, colored — many of these choices caught the attention of teenagers. “The boy's hairstyles for 1988 drastically resembled the 50’s and 60’s hairstyles.’’ said Mrs. Roxana Jenkins, local hairstylist at After Five. The most noticable hairstyle for the boys were shorter on the top and on the sides, but longer in the back. Perms, bleaches, and highlighting became more popular among the boy’s hairstyles. The majority of boys were changing from a barber to a hairstyles to enhance the look of their hair. Perms were quite a hit with many of the girls. Most of the perms were soft and not kinky. They were also more free flowing, and less precise even with popular, short hairstyles. Girls were starting to have less of a finish, and more of a flow. Both long and short hairstyles son’s personal preference. 118 Granacki. ‘‘You learned sea skills, how to drill and how to navigate different kinds of ships. We also competed in an annual olym- pics with all Sea Scouts in the Pacific region,” he said. Varsity soccer player, Pat Reilly, junior, also doubled as a soccer coach. Ferndale Boys’ and Girls’ Club spon- sored a soccer camp for kids in grades 1 through 6. The coaching staff was made up of volunteers who had played soccer on one of the school teams. “Coaching the kids had its good and bad sides. When they were rowdy, | didn’t like coaching because they didn’t listen or pay attention, but it was fun when they won a game because they + were really proud of themselves,” said Reilly. DATING AND — RELATING — “It was like training for the Navy,’’ said LONG AND SHORT OF It? Many of the students were also taking a higher quality care of their hair. They used quality shampoos that contained only natural ingredients. Natural hairsprays were becoming more and more popular. A majority of the students had been going to the same stylist for years because their moms chose their hairstylists for them. “I didn’t really choose my hairstylist. It had been the same as long as I remembered,”’ said Jay Bliven, junior. The cost for a haircut ranged in prices from $4,50-$10.00. Perms were surprisingly high. When.a home perm only cost about $6, salon prices ranged from $22-$45. New and popular products for hair were things such as mousses, gels, gel-mists (a liquid gel), and spritz (a more popular fast-drying hairspray). Prices of these products ranged from $1.50-$8. st ettutttes Party, (parté)-ties, adj, v. tied,-tying.-n.). a social gathering or entertainment 2. 4 group of people doing something together. ; Most students agreed that fun parties wete the ones they wanted to attend-the bad ones could end up being real bummers. fi “‘T liked the one’s where there were good lok- ing guys and a lot of things going on — : conversation.” said Erin Wood, junior. ‘The bad ones where when people were total- ly wasted to the point of passing out, when houses go trashed and everything got broken,” said Brandi Vanderwoude, sophomore. Big, small, near, or far, parties were a way to take the boredom out of a rainy weekend. “] liked parties to be bright and cheery,” said Paul Brainard, senior. Teresa Dewell, senior, had a big bash te celebrate her 18th birthday. She decided te have the bash because ‘“‘I’d never had a party before. I wanted to have a big dance with my friends before I graduated,”’ she said. Of 60 people who were invited about 45 at- tended. The theme was ‘““The Party Diner.” Balloons, streamers, and posters displaying ¢ 40’s theme decorated the club-house at the Mt Baker Speedway, which was rented for the evening. The guests drank mixers and played party games, then Dewell opened her presents as the cake was brought out and the melody of the ‘Happy Birthday Song”’ rang out. The first dance was the hostess and hei father, and the rest of the guests stayed to danet for about three hours. “Te was great. It turned out really well Everyone said they had a great time,’’ saic Dewell. “T liked Seattle parties, said Kincaid Gerard senior, ‘“They were farther away more fun, anc people didn’t know you so you could do crazy things,” he said. “The best kind were small ones with all o my friends,” said Corrine Kudsk, junior. “I went to social gatherings, only my friend parties — no outsider’s parties,’’ said Jon Med: calf, senior. Other organization were involved with par ties too. Young Life was a youth group that me every Monday night. The 25-30 members usec parties to celebrate special events. FBLA had one progressive dinner a year as at introduction activity. Four people volunteerec their homes and they progressed from hor d'oeuvres at one home, to salad, to the mait course, and ended up at the last home with desert and a party. Showing off his short haircut is James Garding, senior. � |Doing his version of a dweeb is Jeff Osthimer, senior. Shop till you drop Did money in your hand make you want to spend? Did flourescent lights and racks of clothes beckon you? According to most students, yes! They went to look even if they didn’t have money they said. And when they did shop, they could spend anywhere from $10 to$100. some said they could take as long as all day to find exactly what they wanted. . Shopping habits differed. Some said they splurged and half of the students interviewed said they looked for sales. Although Bellingham wasn’t big on malls, there were a lot of stores favored by students. Such as Jay Jacobs, The Bon, Nordstrom’s and Maurice's. “T liked Nordstrom’s because they had good quality and their clothes were well made. I knew they wouldn’t fall apart,” said Julie Asplund, senior. Seattle was prefered over Bellingham by many students. “Alderwood Mall was the best,” said Nikki || Miller, junior. More students said they shopped for style in- stead of name brands. “T would never buy something that was ugly jlor was an ugly color even if it said Esprit on it,” said Kathy Campfield, freshman. Fashion magazines such as ‘‘Seventeen,”’ } ‘Teen,” and ‘“‘Young Miss” had a big influence on female students. Most of the time students said they would actually go looking for what ‘ they saw in a magazine. “] think they have some influence on me but VI wouldn’t buy bell bottoms if that’s what Seventeen said was in style,” said Regina Dar- by, senior. i Some students liked going with friends or relatives shopping. Others said they got a lot more done going by themselves. “T usually went with my mother and or sister,” said Campfield. Even teachers had something to say: “My motto was when you look good, you feel good,” said Mr. Ted Genger, social studies teacher. WORD UP... Airhead — someone stupid. The blonde was an airhead.

The tardies wandered in as the subtle smells of rosin and wood drifted through the air. Nobody was overenthusiastic as another day of orchestra began. 4 : Lote iates Bet | See ak ae Letting out her frustrations is Julie Hiler, sophomore. Rumors flew around the room. “Who quit?” Mrs. Donnellan started the period off with a G scale. Not totally satisfied with their perfor- mance, she asked them to do it over. ‘“This time in tune,”’ she said. The scale successfully completed, it was time to play ‘‘Valse by Tchaikovsky.” ‘‘So you guys have my part?”’ asked Robert Read, senior. TEACHERS LOUNGE “Scary things happen in here,’’ said Ms. McDonald as she looked into a refrigerator packed full with teachers’ lunches and food. She sat down at a computer and began to print. The Coke machine hummed in tune with the printer and the refrigerator lights blinked in rhythm as the door was opened. The teachers’ lounge was a symphony of sounds as Mr. Benedict walked in with a big March Ist, 11:04, a.m. the turning of recorded + MIN the ae salad. He joined Mr. Loren Anderson on the couch. Mr. Benoit walked in smiling broadly as he said, “I disqualified seven people at the math test today.’’ Laughter erupted in the lounge as Mr. Benoit proceeded to tell the teachers how much fun it was. In walked Mrs. Andres and Ms. Parrish with their dainty little salads. They sat down at the already crowded table, Mr. Olson came in and was instructed to sit by himself in the cor- ner until he learned to wash behind his ears. BAND ROOM ‘‘May I have your attention please?’’ could be heard in the band room. There were about 90 people shuffling around to find chairs as Mr. Mel Hansen made announcements about the girls’ basketball game the previous night. The drummers ignored him totally and continued to bang loudly on their drums. Instruments were being assembled. Marlene Garcia and Tammy Jordan, sophomores came in late because of the math test. Five peo- ple sat down on the floor as Mr. Hansen con- tinued to babble on about the basketball game. Audra Bradford, sophomore, whispered to Chantel Curry, sophomore, about her exciting date on Friday night. Vince Alcorn, sophomore, asked a dumb question to make himself look good for the flute section of girls in front of him. John Weden, senior, sat refinely with his semi-muscular arms crossed. LIBRARY Three freshmen studying hard could be seen up in the mezzanine in the library. Students coul d be heard rustling papers and erasing mistakes in their work. The librarian scrubbed hard to retrieve a piece of gum from underneath the table. ‘“‘Bubble-Yum’’. My favorite kind,”’ she thought. Meanwhile in the lower half of the library Mrs. Pottle and Mrs. Ventura shared some meaningful words. “Have you been upstairs latley Mrs. Ventura?” “No not recently,’ Mrs. Ventura responded. “T’ll go ahead and take a quick swish through.”” Mrs. Ventura then proceeded to question a students integrity. ‘‘Did you sign in?’ Kristen Kinley, junior, let out one hellacious cough and looked around to see if anyone saw her. Brent Wolters, senior, stag- gered over to a table with a stack of books as high as the ceiling. “Interested in a little light reading?’’ said an onlooker. AUDITORIUM It was sub-zero weather outside and the only place in the whole school that had the air- conditioner on was the good old auditorium. The floor was covered with Prescot papers and there were extra desks in from the math test. Screams and howls came from the hallway as the janitor walked in to ask the reporter if she was a lost student from the math test. As he walked away, his keys made an almost comfor- ting jingle that sort of made you think of Christmas. Then the drummers from the band room came in to practice and your visions of Rudolph and mincemeat pie were shattered as they beat wildly on their drums. SICK ROOM The smell of old medicine and a rolled-up blanket on a cot gave the impression of only one place — the sick room. Fortunately, there were ‘no sick people in the room. The zerox machine was humming madly as Mrs. Solberg made her demands upon it. MAIN PARKING LOT Out in the main parking lot, however, there was plenty to see. Dave Hansen, senior, was the first person to leave the parking lot at first lunch. Scott Burkhalter, junior, moseyed out of his car, trying to decide what sort of nutritious lunch he could have today. Chuck Shipp, junior, drove out of the parking lot only to go boggin’ during lunch. As the tires squeal- ed on the wet pavement, the smell of burnt rub- ber filled the air. The seagulls cried and begged for someone to leave them any little particle of their lunch. Numerous people could be seen in their cars and Paul Rhodes, senior, bumped into the curb with his c ar. FOOTBALL FIELD The air was quite chilly out on the football field. Natalie Francis senior, was walking down the sidewalk toward the door that leads to the office. Birds were chirping at Natalie as she ran to the greenhouse to take notes. Mrs. Thomas walked to the office door to try to get warm before going back into the cold. The flag was blowing pariotically in the breeze and the seagulls looked like white blobs against its strong background. The field looked old and tired. The mud was a reminder of all the foot- ball seasons the field had seen. COUNSELING OFFICE Green shamrocks and streamers could only decorate one place — the counseling office. Mrs. VanDeMark typed rapidly as Connie Ave, senior, looked at possible scholarships with Mrs. Jonson. Frank Sizemore and Derek Schauer, juniors, filled out the long and grueling form for the Washington Pre- College Test. : YF $B casper maine 27 reporters the minute hand. all the UTES AT The clock ticks away as the time is passing. |ROOM 404 The journalism room was almost silent as Mrs. Seilo ordered Suzanne Dubuque and Jodie Moore, seniors, to hurry up and take |their pictures. Max Cumberland, junior, was in the computer room diligently working on a story. Mr. Olson dropped by to pay a respected }visit to Mrs. Seilo. Lara Graham, senior, saw ithe perfect opportunity to gossip. She said, | ‘Did you hear about the fight this morning?”’ The sounds of locker doors being pulled open ‘land banged shut filled the air in the locker bay. A skinny girl dressed in black and a redhead were talking to a guy sitting beside the heater. |Faded voices talked about ‘‘the dance last weekend.” A girls vice yelled ‘Don’t kick me Erikson!’ The voices then disappeared down the |hall. A man with a camera appeared behind the reporter and the click of the shutter was heard. |CAFETERIA ‘| Tyler Hetterly, junior, was heard to say to ‘Jamie Pike, senior, ‘‘God, this pizza is gross. The fries are good though.”’ The smell of hot ) |french fries, muffins, and tunafish sandwiches | filled the cafeteria. There was one girl at the stuffed potato bar heaping on cheese, sour |cream, and bacon bits. She looked very hungry. _|BOYS’ LOCKER ROOM | Aheavy, hot humidity that penetrated under ;|clothes coupled with an acidic, spicy aroma almost overpowering to the senses described the boy’s locker room. At the bell, a frenzy of freshmen changed im- |mediately while the seniors arrived in a. sights fashionably late style and began changing non- chanlantly. Some clothes were tested as missiles while in little groups the boys began to leave. Lockers rattled and slammed in the echoing ca- nyons of the locker room. The intercom droned unintelligently to Mr. Brudwick, drowning out by horseplay and backtalk. Upper-classmen ignored the freshmen and Shawn Hansen and Jed Benskin were wrestling on the bench. WEIGHT ROOM The weight room was dark and empty. The only sound was the venting system and distant voices down the hall. Just as the time was up, Mr. Brudwick’s substitute unlocked the door and the freshman class filed in. GIRL’S RESTROOM The fan buzzed soothingly in the girls’ restroom as one lonely girl wandered in to look in the mirror. Someone flushed the toilet and came out to wash her hands. Another girl entered and moaned about how terrible her hair looked and left. Two more girls had a very im- mature water fight; spraying water all ofer their expensive looking clothes. GREENHOUSE The warm, muggy feeling and the smell of warm, moist, fresh, fertilized dirt were the characteristics of the greenhouse. The fan whir- red and the radio was playing a song with the words ‘‘Baby, Love Can’t Lie.” The rest of the song was drowned out by the sound of steam being released. SENIOR PARKING LOT Stephanie Jensen, junior, and Audra Bradford, sophomore, rolled their xylophones Mr. Benoit, computer math teacher enjoying his lunch in the teachers’ lounge. anxiously At and jal eee across the senior parking lot on their way to the auditorium for some practice. Juan Garcia, senior, was talking to John Dobbs, senior. ‘“‘No, give him the money. He needs it.’’ It smelled cold outside and engines revving could be heard. ATTENDANCE OFFICE In the attendance office Ramona Ridley, freshman, came into argue about signing out with Mrs. Hall. She said she had to go to court and that she was going to hitchhike to Bell- ingham. A girl brought an excuse for her absence the day before. Mrs. Hall she told Lisa Geroge, junior, what needed to do for the period. CANCER CORNER The chilly wind dispersed the whispy smoke coming from the cigarette of the lone boy on cancer corner. As he waited in silence a group of people slowly made their way towards the cor- ner. They traveled in a tight pack, talking and laughing among themselves, gracing ‘‘out- siders’’ with glares. As more people assembled at the corner, the smoke became thicker. ‘A friend of mine was in Olympia. He said Stolpe would always go up and push the adults,’” one guy said between puffs. The screams and shouts of passers by were met with obscene gestures and snarls. SENIOR HALL Red lockers on one side and tan lockers on the other could be seen in senior hall. A crumpled-up garbage bag lay lonely on the floor waiting for one of the janitors to pick it up. A calender with part of the month of February on it stared up at the ceiling as an Extra gum wrap- per lay beside it. The whirl of a fan could be heard along with slamming of lockers. No students could be seen. FOOD LINE Cake falling to the floor, french fries squeak- ing underneath sneakers, and pizza being placed on plates were the sounds in the food line in the cafeteria. Tom Craig, junior, and Chad Vandenhaak, senior, questioned at the same time what the reporter was doing. At one table the freshman girls sang ‘“‘Happy Birthday’ to Gretchen Unick, freshman. Margie Alvarado, junior, looked at the reporter strangley and then proceeded to model and pose like a photo shoot. STUDENT LOUNGE Mr. Simmers-Wolpow greedily counted his money as he strolled through the student lounge. Mike Neria, junior, late for Yearbook class, sprinted down the hall. As Natalie Fran- cis, senior, jogged through the lounge. Stephana Demiero, junior, skipped down the hall humming happily. BY JENNIFER HUBER 122 THE TIMES DATING AND RELATING If you won a million dollars... Winning a million dollars was a dream many had and though the chances of winning were pretty small, everyone had an idea of what to do with the money if their lucky number was drawn in the lottery. Many hoped to use their fortunes as a one way ticket out of Ferndale to some place exotic. “I'd take my friends and move to Hawaii and open up a _ nightclub,’ said April Finkbonner, junior. “Probably I would buy a new car and move somewhere on the beach,” said Michelle Schmidt, senior. ‘‘T would take the money and move back to Santa Cruz where it’s more exciting,” said Noel Henneman, sophomore. Some people intended to more prudent with their funds and save for the future. “T’d pay off our house and then I would put some money in a fund for my college and then I might spend a little,’ said Olav Hekala, sophomote. For some having a million dollars would mean devoting all their money and time to a favorite hobby. “I'd take the money and use it all up on video games,”’ said Tom Weeks, freshman. A lot of people wanted to spend their for- tunes on getting a more spiffy looking automobile. “I'd buy a brand new sports car, and fill the back up with new skateboards,” said Ted Bricker, junior. Some had more romantic intentions for using their new-found wealth. “I'd take my girlfriend and run ”’ said Scott Nolte, junior. away somewhere, How do you get their attention? | A beautiful girl graced the far side of the room. Derreck Travers, junior, found her at- tractive and wanted to get to know her, buit he was not sure about how to get her attention. He beckoned to her by flitting his eyes in her direction. “You give her a wink, you know, play eye games, and then it’s easier to go over and start talking to her,” said Travers. When students felt the desire to gain atten- tion from an attractive stranger, some techni- ques were subtle and discreet. “I'd drop something like a book and wait for him to pick it up. Or I might try flirting with my eyes. I'd stare and then when he noticed, I’d look away real fast,’’ said Nikki Mann, freshman. “T don’t know what I'd do. I’d look at him, and try to make eye contact. I suppose I'd flirt and offer him something to eat and try to make small talk. God, I don’t know,” said Alice Taylor, senior, as she: threw her hands up and shrugged her shoulders, ‘‘Now you know why One of the 30 Young Life members was Renee Aase, junior, who had been a member for two years. Young Life was an interdenominational, church-related club which was sponsored by the Young Life Associa- tion. Its meetings were always advertised on posters in the hall. “We sang songs, had a one-hour Bible study, talked and ate,”’ said Aase. ‘‘We also went on special trips like to a Mariner game and a Sonic game,” Aase said. Depressed after being turned down by Dave Blom-. quist, junior; is Elsa Ochoa, junior. F r I’m single,” she said. Some students felt that they were too shy to do anything, Julie Asplund, senior, claimed: she would take the indirect route. “If I really wanted to get to know someone, I would probably go talk to the person next to. him, start a conversation with his friends and hope it led somewhere. I’m shy,” said Asplund. Some students were confident and csima beating aroung the bush was a waste of time, They would try the directive approach, or would resort to a more flambouyant means, they said. “I’m kind of shy, but I suppose I'd make some kind of noise so she’d look up at me, and then I’d walk over to her,” said Matt EIl- ingsen, freshman. | “Well, let’s see, there are a lot of things to’ do,”’ said Leah Ross, senior. ‘You flirt, let them know you like them. I might send the guy flowers, or give him a call. I might have a friend of mine tell him that I’m interested in him. Why be shy?

Oh, and it’s good to compliment them on what they’re wearing,” said Ross. | “If she was in a class, I would just wait till the bell rang and walk right up to her. I’m not shy. Well, I don’t know though,” said Dave Brown, junior. ‘I guess it really depends on who the girl is.” | F Paisano Angered by Elsa Ochoa’s offer is Dave Blomquist. perfect vacation Warmth, breathtaking views, and relaxation made up students’ ideas of a perfect vacation. Thoughts of a beach and sun were only a part of the ‘dream vacation.” Some students said they were looking for more knowledge of the people and special sites in the perfect vacation. “Going to Australia for the sun and all of the people on the beaches. | would like to get to know the people. There are also lots of places to go and see,’’ said Wendy Forsyth, freshman, when describing her idea of a_ perfect vacation. Other ideas were breathtaking views of mountains and being able to relax. “I love going to the mountains because the air is fresh and | can see views that take my breath away,” said Ratna So- fiana, junior. Jill Lewis explained her perfect vaca- tion. The perfect vacation would be to go to Quebec, Canada, during the winter. It is the most beautiful place,’’ Lewis said. Warm, sunny beaches which seemed like paradise were the dream places for many. “I would like to go to California because there are lots of people, sun and beaches. | would also go shopp- ing,” explained Vikki Westoff, junior. Jodi Teeter, sophomore, dreamed about her idea of a perfect vacation. Nicholai Francis, freshman, was one of the top 10 swimmers on his YMCA swim team of 85. Francis practiced five out of seven days a week and had a meet every two weeks. His events included various distances of freestyle, but- terfly, backstroke, and breaststroke. “To be able to swim in the larger meets, you had to swim within the time standards,” said Francis. Y Regionals and Y Nationals were two big meets which used time standards, he said. “Bahamas with the warmth of the sun and the beaches,” she said. Evonne Schmidt, senior, expressed her views of vacation. ‘It would be the Bahamas and | would do everything. | would snorkel and meet the native peo- ple. It’s cool, the perfect land of paradise,’ Schmidt said. 22 i ¢ 2) 124 aL ae i 3d What are students at FHS eating for lunch today _ and where?

It unconsciously affected students dur- ing school five days a week. Students were con- stantly striving to move forward in life. But for what purpose? What motivated students to excel? ‘‘Money,”’ said Randy Voglezang, sophomore, without hesitation, ‘Making money.” For Greg Johnson, sophomore, motivation was survival. “I don’t want to end up living on the streets,’’ he said. “TI was motivated bec ause of fear of failure,”’ Alison Koch, senior, said. Others like Bran- don Boothe, sophomore, had an extra push behind them. ‘Fear of parents motivated me,” he said. For some, like Scott Santos, junior, motiva- tion to excel came from his strong faith in the Lord. Tanya Aase, freshman, agreed. “I wanted to excel to please my parents, but also to serve God,”’ she said. Inner satisfaction was high on the list. “I Do you eat lunch in the cafeteria? coe | No 3 ae 29% Thriftway 17% Other | : 26% | wanted to prove to myself that I could ac- complish something.

Getting spirited at a home football game are Regina Dar- by, Amy Meyer, Julie Asplund, and Marissa Ingraham, football cheerleaders. THER TIMES ISSUES _ Matt Orchard, junior, nonchalantly cracks his knuckles during class. Some wanted to excel so that they could help others. ‘I wanted to show people that I could succeed and to be a role model so others would do the same,”’ Sara Schroeder, freshman, said. Sheila Honrud and Valerie Trottier, seniors, wanted to help others as well. ‘‘Our in- dividual success helped us to help others suc-— ceed,” they concluded. “I observed adults and was motivated to try and become what I wanted for myself and future children,’’ said Cheri Clayton, freshman. A few students felt that nothing motivated them. Some just didn’t know. For most, however, personal gain, fear, God, themselves, or others was their prime motivation. What motivated students to excel? “Definitely the end result,’’ said Kent Erickson, senior. I Hate St When . Why do today, What you can | always do tomorrow?

Then she felt like she had wasted a lot of at |time, ‘‘Just kind of goofing around,’’ Donelon said. Homework wasn’t the only thing that was put off. Kristi Leuenberger, freshman, putoff doing ironing and housework. ‘‘It was boring,”’ she said. Julie Hiler, sophomore, procrastinated about writing letters. She was just too lazy to get out a piece of paper and write down a few sentences. Instead, she'd either pig out or sleep. Hiler also procrastinated about getting up on time to go to school. ‘I never got up on time. I just hit my alarm,”’ she said. Travis Leuenberger, senior, procrastinated about, anything at home’, “Like cleaning my room and garbage like that,’’ Procrastination got him into trouble. “‘I’d get so far behind that I couldn’t catch up,” he said. Most people procrastinated by putting the problem out of their mind. “I generally wished I was somewhere else doing something else,’’ said Jeff Johnson, senior. From total nerds to absolute snobs, from goofy freshmen to disgusting slobs, annoying habits drove people insane. Pet peeves were their name and everybody had them. Fidgeting, nail biting, the hallways, and popping gum were just a few. People who constantly played with their hair really bugged Teresa Rieland, senior. Josh Baijot, sophomore wondered why freshmen carried all their books around in their bags. Weren’t they given lockers at the beginn- ing of the year? Freshmen were a pet peeve of many up- perclassmen. The freshmen turned flirting into an art form upperclassmen girls said. Freshmen jocks thought a place on varsity had been guaranteed to them junior boys said. And of course, there were the giggly freshmen groups! ‘Freshmen who stood in groups in the mid- dle of the hall and blocked the everyone really bugged me,” said Tara Hein, senior. Freshmen weren't the only people who were a source of aggravation. Teachers’ last minute assignments, hall turtles, and skinny people who said they were fat seemed to get the best of many. “I hated it when people understood everything in classes,” said Terra Naeve, junior. Nicci Noteboom’s pet peeve was having to wait a long time for an opening in the bathroom. “I couldn’t stand girls who tried to steal other peoples boyfriends,’ said Connie Jones, senior. “People who thought they were funny and weren't really bugged me,” said Rob Meyers, senior. Whether photographers annoyed others as much they did Jason Hess, senior, or buttin- skies peeved students like they did Susan McAlpine, junior, pet peeves seemed to get everyone steamed at one time or another. kissing in 126 Melody McCutchen, senior, was an active member of Up- ward Bound, a government funded program which had as its purpose to encourage minority and low income students to go to college. McCutchen wanted to major in physical education with an emphasis on physical therapy. “Upward Bound helped me start looking into possibilities for careers and also gave me a taste of college life to see what it was,” said McCutchen. OBTAINING BROWNIE POINTS Some ‘people laughed and made fun of it. Others swore by it, but most everybody at one time or another tried it — brown nosing. __A few people thought the best way to get on a teacher’s good side was to tickle the funny bone. “I liked to joke around with teachers to get on their good side,” said Jeff Demorest, junior. To others brown nosing meant giving a teacher their full, undivided attention. “I would smile at my teachers a lot,’’ said Lisa Pratt, sophomore. “A lot of eye contact and a lot of teeth was a big h elp,’’ said Bronson Nyhus, senior. Flattery seemed to be the best way to win over a teacher. “I'd flatter my teachers all the time — tell them they looked good, mention it when they got a haircut, and stuff like that,” said David Hallgren, sophomore. For others brown nosing was a convenient way of getting in favor with a teacher but it didn’t require much effort. “The best way to brown nose was to do all your work for the first two weeks of the semester and from then on they’d figure you were a good student even if you slipped a little,” said Brandon Boothe, sophomore. “If you just tried to look as if you were really interested and helpful and you’d have them hooked,’’ said Chad Crnich, junior. Toppling over her books in the hallway is Maria Jones, junior. cme Nene ener sete I AAPA A er aa oe sa Easily misplaced, Mike Bannon, freshman, gets stuffed into his locker by a tough group of seniors. Some thought brown nosing was a waste of time and not necessary for success in the classroom. “I didn’t brown nose. I didn’t need to,’’ said Becky Malloy, sophomore. Teachers’ attitudes toward brown nosers was as varied as the techniques their students used. ‘Students made too big a deal over brown nosing. If someone did their homework or were helpful, they were labeled a brown noser,” said Miss Melissa Monda, Spanish teacher. ‘A little flattery never hurt,’’ sald Mr. Rob Lonborg, social studies teacher. NICKNAMES Being called names like Opus or Bam Bam was not a matter of choice for some students. |They had earned their nicknamed one way or ithe other. Some liked theirs, some didn’t, and isome didn’t care. “T thought it was funny,” said Tanina es Gardner, junior, who was also called Bam |Bam. “I got it because I started calling a friend Pebbles and then she started calling me Bam | Bam.” | Some got their nick-names because of their jreal names. “I got Bing because my last name is kind of long and people just shortened it,” said |Jenifer Bingham, junior. Many disliked theirs. “I hated it,” said | Vicky Robbins, sophomore. “I got it because iby winterguard instructor said that I jazz ran like Peter Pan. Then someone said that I did it like a duck and someone came up with Peter | Cotton Duck.” | It wasn’t always things that people did that | gave them nicknames. Some times it was what “T got Opus because of my nose.”’ said Rusty Schroeder, senior, “I didn’t really cdre that These names were not just limited to school | they were heard at home and elsewhere. “Even |my friends’ parents called my Puffy,” said |Mike Young, senior. He got his nickname ‘| because of his bulky coat. “It used to bother i | me, but I got used to it,”’ he said. Many nicknames were a play on words of a | person’s last names. ‘Kevin Hall and Mr. Porter, shortened my last name and just call |me Roeg,” said Mitch Roegele, sophomore. Sometimes a nickname reflected a persons characteristics. | “Kurt Langer called me booger because I looked like one,” said Justin McKay, }| sophomore. Some nicknames carried sentimen- é| |tal attachments. “I was called Tootie. It was special to me because my grandparents gave it to me,” said Kerri Bennett, freshman. Other nicknames pumped up a persons ego. | “My 4-H leader called me Tiny Wonder. I | liked it because it made me feel smart,” said Tina Olson, sophomore. Taking care of all the necessary but tedious tasks for the boys’ varsity basketball team was the manager. The manager for the 1988 team was Tom Toth, freshman. Part of his duties included folding jerseys, filling water ¥ bottles, getting pop for the officials at half time, and = going to all the turn-outs. “| really enjoyed being their manager because it was exciting when they won knowing | did something to help in their success,’’ said Toth. WANT TO RUN AND HIDE? Tripping, flashing audiences, and asking stupid questions were some of the most embar- rassing incidents FHS students endured. Tripping embarrassed several students. “On New Years '88 I walked into a huge party and tripped on a step and feel on my face. When I looked up there was about 50 people looking at me,” said Cindy Coleman sophomore. Sharman Barone, sophomore, found herself embarrassed after falling and skidding on her face in front of a group of guys. Some students found the band’s award ban- quet embarrassing. Mel gave me an award for the most likely to get into an argument with a chaperone,’ said Tajn Collins, junior. Mike Bannon, freshman, was embarrased at band camp when he had to ask a chaperone to get his sleeping bag out of the girls’ bathroom. Jana ‘Peck, sophomore, also had to ask an embarrassing question. In TSE, when I was driving for the first time, I pointed to the gearshift and asked, ‘‘what’s this?” she explained. Flashing people proved to be embarrassing for some students. “I flashed the audience in my dress during a winterguard performance,’ said Chris Bar- quist, sophomore. Her flagpole got caught in her skirt. “I was at volleyball turn out and we were digging the balls that Coach McMahan was hit- ting down and my shorts ripped,” said Jenny Cummins, sophomore. Mistaken identity lead to embarrassing moments. “TI saw a chunky friend once at the auto races, so I sauck up behind him to surprise him. I grabbed onto his rolls and said ‘‘Fat, fat, fat! He turned around and I had never seen the guy before in my life.” said Mr. Paul Benedict, English teacher. Failure can also cause embarrassment. “I was embarrassed when I went to league in wrestling and I got beat 10-2 and everybody else won,” said Matt Alvis, junior. Embarrassment was caused by getting into trouble. I was embarrassed when me Stephanie Weden, Jodie Mathis, Tiana Gitts, Erick Ye | ¥ Marty Locke, sophomore, mistakes the library exit for an entrance while Margie Alvarado, junior, looks on. Weden, and Shirley Pierpont got caught skipping and got hauled down to the office,” said Brook Nelson, sophomore. Sickness also caused embarrassment. “I became very embarrassed after I puked in front of a hot dog stand,” said Paul Holtzheimer, sophomore. The unknown was embarrassing so! “IT went to Jay Jacobs and bought a bathing suit. I wore it to the lake and when I got home, my friend told me my bathing suit was see through,” said Carey Dickinson, freshman. 128 THE TIMES ss HAZELWOOD: Supreme Court decision affects high school students By Elizabeth Glenman Abortion, drugs, teen sex, divorce, AIDS, runaway kids. When these topics appeared in high school newspapers, school boards and high school principals sometimes got ner- vous and moved to restrict stories on such subjects. The Student Washington, D.C. received more than 500 reports of student censorship battles last year. And, as the result of a January 13 Supreme Court ruling, student writers had little defense to this kind of censorship. In a 5-3 decision the Supreme Court said public school officials had the right to censor school newspapers, plays, and other ‘“‘school spon- Press Law Center in sored expressive activities.” ‘‘A school need not tolerate student speech that is inconsistent with its basic educational mission’,”’ Justice Byron White wrote for the majority. The ruling was the result of a case which developed in May 1983 when Robert E. Reynolds, principal of a Hazelwood, Mo., high school, removed two pages from Spec- trum, the public high school newspaper. Reynolds felt that contents of the two articles which pertained to teenage sex and divorce were inappropriate: He said that three unamed students, who had agreed to inter- views about their experiences with teen pregnancy, could be identified from infor- mation given in the story. He also felt that a father discussed in a student interview on divorce had not been given the right to res- pond to critical comments made about him. Students were angry, concerned, confused and overwhelmed when the decision was announced. ' “One thing that concerned me was the fact that when students walked onto school grounds, they were no longer protected under the Ist and 4th Amendments of the Constitution. But no where in the Constitution does it state that it does not apply to high school students,” said Leah Ross, senior Eagleye reporter. “My first reaction to the case was concern I felt my Ist Amendment right to freedom of press had been invaded. I kept thinking about not being able to write what I felt,” said Alex Duncan, freshman journalism student. Ross and Duncan agreed with Justice William Brennan who wrote against the ruling “Such unthinking contempt for individual rights ... is particulary insidious from one to whom the public entrusts the task of inculcating in its youth and appreciation for the cherished democratic liberties that our constitution guarantees.”’ “I was confused when I heard the results of the case I really felt the students would win. But I also feel that the principal had the right to pull ‘the student articles. Someone needs to be in control,’’ said Derrick Travers, junior journalism student. Mr. Dan Farrell, principal, agreed with the Supreme Court that the administration of a school does have the right to set guidelines for what goes in a school newspaper. “The exercising of those rights have never become necessary and probably never will because I have faith in the advisor and editors of the Eagleye,”’ said Mr. Farrell. ‘“‘Had the Eagleye been putting things out that were slanderous or libelous it might be a different matter, but why should I interfere with an award-winning publication?” he said. Many students and faculty were not aware of HIGH SCHoor NEWSPAPER HMMM! WHAT SHoub EDIT HS MoyTW? the case or its results. To better inform them and to express their own feelings of frustration, journalism students chose February 2 as a day to mourn the loss of student press rights at FHS. They dressed in black and passed out informa- tion about the case and the Supreme Court deci- sion during lunch. Journalism students also wrote letters to The Bellingham Hearld. A col- umn written by Elizabeth Glenman, senior, was printed as a guest column on the Herald’s editorial page, February 5. a Mas To ADMINISTRATION { hool Board members are row 1: Dr. oe te et Dr. Hruby, Mrs. Dawson @ @ win election By Keith Coleman Mrs. Marlene Dawson. For the first time in a number of rane an incumbant to the school oard was actually challenged. Two of the five positions on the board were up for election. These positions were position one and Peston three. Position three was eld by incumbant Mrs. Marlene Dawson and position one was held by incumbant Dr. John Hruby. Mrs. Dawson had been on the board for four years and was challenged by Mr. Mike Steele. Mrs. Dawson said her main em- phasis was on the “at risk’ students, students who bring fami- ly problems into the school, She was also a strong supporter of drug education programs such as “Here’s looking at you too.” Her opponent, Mr. Steele, felt Mrs. Dawson said her main emphasis was on the “at risk” students, students who bring family problems into the school. that parents should become more involved in their children’s education. Dr. Hruby had been on the board for five months. He was ap- pointed following the resignation of Mr. Hugh Locker. Dr. Hruby felt the community should be involved in school activities and he describ- ed himself as one who ‘supported the education role.” Mr. John Muggy, who opposed Dr. Hruby, said that the current board lacked the voice from the common sector and, therefore, he felt he should be elected. He also felt that having children in each level of education in the district helped him feel more in tune with what went on in the schools. In November election results favored Dr. Hruby 1,508 votes to Mr. Muggy’s 1,104 votes for posi- tion one. For position three, Mrs. Dawson received 1,505 votes to Mr. Steele’s 1,001 votes.

Free time was spent in a number of ways. Mrs. Elanor Mischaikow, Ger- man teacher, liked to do things with her hands like drawing, knitting and other handicrafts. Teachers with families liked spen- ding a large part of their time with their families. ‘I liked to spend time with my kids and my music,” said Mr. Garry Potts, music teacher.

SOCIAL STUDIES After 24 years, Mr. Dick Guthrie Ponder een question is Mr. hangs up erasers By Nicci Noteboom ay oh 7A “No more pencils, no more books,” will go through the minds of students and faculty June 16, the last day of school. Thoughts of vacation and relaxation will bounce around in their minds. But summer vacation only lasts for three months and come September most every one will be checking back into FHS. Everyone that is except Mr. Dick Guthrie, social studies teacher. After teaching at FHS for 28 ears, he has decided to clea n off is chalkboard, close his grade book, hang up his erasers, and retire. After getting his nose off the teaching grindstone, he said he was going to spend his time doing the things about being a teacher he was going to miss. “I’m going to miss the personal relationships with the students | have had in my classes,” Mr. “I'm going to miss the personal rela- tionships with the students I have had in my classes,” Mr. Guthrie said. Guthrie said. One thing he wouldn’t miss was having to drag himself out of bed every morningat the crack of dawn. “| sure won’t miss getting up so perk every doggone morning,” he said. One of the things he liked best about being a teacher was the in- volvment in students’ growing up. “I think a teacher takes pride in how they have helped others in their development,” Mr. Guthrie said. Mr. Guthrie will be taking a lot of memories of FHS with him. He’s seen the many changes in the buildings and the campus. He’s also had many students who have gone on to be successes, he said.

Many vocational teachers used their pale experiences to teach students their skils. “1 taught mainly because | liked to work with my hands and most of the kids did, too. | thought it gave kids who didn’t do so well in other classes a chance to excell in something,” said Mr. Wes Kentch, auto mechanics teacher. “One reason | taught a class of this nature was to help students in selecting a vocation. Another reason | taught was because it was a type of learning in which they could easily learn and use hands-on _skills, ”. said Mr. Frank Medearis, bookkeeping and _ typing teacher. “| taught mechanical drawing because | really enjoyed it when | took it and | think it was an excellent class for students to take whether they went on with it or not.

Ms. Becky Parrish, athletic trainer and assistant gymnastics coach, graduated from Eastern Washington University with majors in biology and athletic training. Before coming to FHS, Ms. Parrish was a teacher and trainer at Snohomish High School. She felt that being an athletic trainer was an opportunity to get to know students and for them to know her. She worked with all sports: taping of ankles and wrists, supports, evaluating injuries, determining how serious in- juries were, and referring athletes to doctors and physical therapists. Ms. Parrish felt it was important for “When I had my first injury, it was good to have so- meone there to tape me,” said Jason Muggy. athletes to be healthy and performing at top level. “The athletes and coaches were very cooperative. It took awhile to establish myself as a trainer, especially being a woman, but it was positive and a challenge and the results were great,”” Ms. Parrish said. “At first, since she was a female, everybody thought she would be a pushover.

Girls glee was the starting point for concert choir. “It took time and energy to prepare for a concert hoping you'll do the best said Heather Curtis, sophomore. Members _ of the girls glee had to try out before they were able to move on to concert choir. Mr. Garry Potts, choir director, tested them individually was so they wouldn’t have stage fright,” Mr. Potts said.

A_ group. of students put many hours into perfec- ting their songs for swing choir. “Swing choir members had to be a team. They needed to be sensitive to others as well as themselves,” said Garry Potts, choir director. This was especially evi- dent when the group went on tour. During the week before Christmas the swing choir shared many hours together performing at all the elemen- tary schools as well as for other groups. They also attended the Jazz Festival held in British Columbia dur- ing the early spring. “Singing jazz was my _ favorite because it had a real beat to it,” said Jeanette Bremer, senior.

Pieces were rehearsed for about one and a half months each. To join swing choir, members had to have sung at least one year in girls’ glee or concert choir. They also had to sight read a new piece of music at an audition. For Harrison Metzger, senior, the ef- fort was worth “I liked to sing and it was great getting out of class to perform for people,’’ he said. Performance for others was also carried out by the National Honor Society. Sixteen members were added and all members did at least six hours of community service from tutoring to elderly visitation.

The team had a season record of 8-1 and, as usual, made it to the play-offs.

Three weeks waatve T's, Vandenhaak caught a 70 yard bomb from quarterback Scott Campbell, junior, en route to a 14-7 victory over Burlington. “It was a lot of pressure, but you just had to look at it as your job,” Vandenhaak said. For the third time in the last four years, the Golden Eagles had the best scoring defense in the league. They had the second best in the state, after Shelton, for the season. “It was a lot of pressure, but you just had to look at it as your job,” Chad Vandenhaak, senior. good running “If the other team didn’t score, we weren't going to lose,’ said Coach Vic Randall. In the play-off game, FHS was defeated by Lake Stevens by a score of 20-13. During the season, the Golden Eagles featured the most balanced backfield in the NWL with Brian Mattson (500 yards rushing), Ralph Prati (49 3 yards), John Slaughter (462 yards), and Shawn Van De Mark (303 yards). ‘‘We_ had three really backs and we took turns car- rying the ball. That made it harder for the defense to key on one back,” Slaughter said. At the end of the season, the team won the John Trotto Sport- smanship Award for the third con- secutive year, and for the sixth time in the last 11 years. “This was a nice year because our inexperienced players learned our system better than we ex- pected,’’ Coach Randall said.

Next, they wanted to bump the top track teams in the Northwest League; Bell- ington; out of their top posi- tions and claim O.n- Ga afeo TF themselves.

Submitted early in 1987, the completed docu- ment contained the best; the programs and the people of FHS. Awarded state recognition, the report continued on the national level where it placed its school in the top one-tenth of one percent of all the secondary schools in the United States. FHS had been selected as a National School of Excellence. The appointed day of the celebration, November 5, 1987, began with the gathering of the entire faculty and staff in the cafeteria. Served coffee and donuts, those present seated themselves for what they thought was a last minute meeting to go over details for open house. To their surprise they were addressed and congratulated by both Mr. Dan Farrell, principal, and Dr. Jack Thompson, superintendent. Each member was then awarded a royal blue plaque inscribed with their name in gold. They also received a pin with the words Excellence in Education 1986-87. 66 I was a proud moment to know that people appreciated what we were doing. It was a real pick-up for all the times when people just didn’t seem to care,” said Mr. Bill Harriman, history teacher. Sixth period all students, except freshmen, received a per- sonalized excellence certificate. Students were then sent to the gym where they were shown a human slide show organized by the leadership class. 66 We decided to do a human slide show so that we could pre- sent what had made our school excellent using a large involvement of the student body,” said Christen Unick, senior. A speech was also given by Chad Vandenhaak, ASB president, and Mr. Farrell. 66 [eincerely believe that the people who won the award were the students and teachers. They are what school is all about,”’ said Mr. Farrell. ake end the day, parents and members of the community pack- ed the auditorium to hear a special sixty minute presentation on the meaning of the excellence award. During the assembly, faculty members who had worked on the report: Mr. Ray Simmers — Wolpow, study skills; Mrs. Susan Browne, librarian, and Mrs. Susan Holmes, special services, were presented with a National School of Excellence flag by Mr. George Hood, U.S. Department of Education representative. 66 Ih the last ten years the high school has seen such enormous changes in the programs and in the building itself that the Ex- cellence award seemed a fitting ending to a stage in the school’s history,” Mrs. Browne said. O, behalf of the students, Vandenhaak received a trophy also from Mr. Hood. oan 66 ] felt really proud accepting the trophy because our school has accomplished the highest achievement a school could win,” said Vandenhaak. 1 Spec speakers for the ceremony included state represen- tatives Pete Kremen and Dennis Braddock and the state superintendent of public instruction, Dr. Frank Brouillet.
