A YEAR OF CHANGE . . . The l985-86 school year was a year of change. The Fall brought a new principal to Mission San Jose, Mrs. Sharon Belshaw-Jones. She brought with her a series of changes in policies and procedures. ln addition, she also brought a goal which she called Excellence Through lnvolvement. Autumn also gave us a new Athletic Director. When Mr. David Bray left for Washington High, Mr. Morley Freitas took on thejob of maintaining the Warrior's winning tradition, which included defending the All-Sports Trophy. But the administration was only a part of the changing school. New faces were seen scat- tered throughout the campus. The new year initiated the Class of 1989 to life at MSJ. New students were also among the returning three classes. October arrived, and Spirit Week kicked off. The four classes competed against each other for the coveted Spirit Week Trophy. As the battle got underway, it became evident that the main contest was between the Juniors and the Seniors, who were very well matched. They battled constantly, but when the dust had cleared, the Class of '86 came out as the victor. Seniors Darin Rice and Laura Saponara were crowned Mr. Mission and Homecoming Oueen, respectively. Later on with the hard work of the Leadership Council and Mr. Tony Siacotos, students were entertained by numerous lunchtime activities, including an Air Band Contest, Apple Bob- bing, and the infamous Eggstravaganza. As Winter fell, CSF put on its annual Christmas Dance and it was very successful. The Boys and Girls Soccer teams and the Wrestling team also met a great deal of success in both regular season and post-season play. The Student Body honored MSJ's talented Winter athletes in a newly founded Winter Sports Rally where the athletes played Wheelbarrow Hockey. April brought on the Junior Prom at the elegant Claremont Resort Hotel in Berkeley. It also brought with it the ASB Elections and the traditional ASB Convention involving a large part of the student body. In addition, April included the Spring Musical. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. The play was a smashing success, bringing honor to MSJ's fine Per- forming Arts Department. ln May the Seniors celebrated their four years as the Class of l986 with a Senior Ball at the Sheraton Palace in San Francisco, their Senior Show, and Grad Nite. The Class of '86 had met success both academically and athletically. When they graduate, they leave the lofty title of senior to the Class of 1987. -Derek Fong Class of i987 48

Marching down Paseo Padre to a tune played by Mission's marching band during the annual Pathfinder's Day Parade, the lettergirls lead the way and demonstrate pride in their school and community. Obviously working real hard out there in the afternoon sun, teacher's assistants Ken Anderson and Raji Kashyap lend physical education in- structor Linda Lile a helping hand. It's a tough life. The Associated Student Body President for 1985-1986, Michelle Wong, presides here over a meeting of the Leader- ship Council. Her fashionable French sweatshirt lends an air of international prestige to the occasion.
