Spyke 0083, a secret agent for the Tusayan Staff, roamed the halls throughout the year. Students never saw the three inch spy, but his behind-the-scenes view of life brought out the stories under the spotlights. His detailed journal is presented here with facts, figures and pictures never before seen. 0083 found that there were 198 students attending classes by Homecoming. Ninety-two were girls and 106 were boys. Fifty-seven freshmen, 51 sophomores, 45 juniors and 45 seniors studied under 17 faculty members, while the 6 staff members and Mr. Adreon kept the school running smoothly. Sean Sullivan stated, Sometimes school A drives me up the wall.” During volleyball practice after school, the players relax before another drill. A Bubba Lopez stayed to train this year's team because the senior players promised to take him to state. M Buddy Parenteau, WHS's top yardage man, crashes through the cheerleaders run-thru at halftime during the Tuba City game. Opening 3 Agent 0083 Infiltrates Hallways Know-it-all, Joe I. Spyke, skulked around all the right places to capture the year’s events — big and small. Among the milestones of the year he found homecoming, Christmas vacation, semester break and graduation. “Students measure the timing of the more personal memories between the big ones,” he quipped. “Lockers, hallways and school busses are where I gathered my most top-secret information.” Spyke found that sports seasons divide the year and for some athletes, one season begins before another ends, making sports an all-consuming lifestyle. All those mentioned in the journal of the little spy had a memorable year. A Taking lecture notes in Biology I absorbs freshmen Lisa Baertlein, Lisa Lindquist and Randy Schulte. ► New student, junior Dan Case uses the library facilities for a social studies report.

Opening 5 STUDENT LIFE Vicki Winslow was leaning back in her chair in biology. As Mr. Hershey was in the middle of a sentence, there was a big bang. Vicki was lying on the floor, still in her chair, adding emphasis to the discussion on “the feeling of falling in your dreams.” Other student daydreams involved week-end and after school activities. Shopping sprees, movies, video games, parties and jobs were tempered with academic studies. Popular week-end sports included roller skating, skiing, motor cross racing and tennis. Crazes of the year involved video games and Dungeons and Dragons, a complex series of challenges of science fiction and ancient mythological creatures. The Kansas Steel Breeze concert in Mid-October at Walker Skydome was well attended by students. State Fair Arizona attracted many local 4-H participants. Thirteen WHS freshmen had artwork (done in middle school art) on display at the fair. Students didn’t just have fun, though, as the California Achievement Tests proved WHS superior to all C, B, A, and all but one AA school in Arizona. V 6 ▲ Overheard at yearbook initiation were unfounded fears. Nicky DeLander stated that she knew Someone was going to do something.” Vicki Hansen was afraid that something bad was going to happen.” Ak “What a great team we have, thought Ron Opie Phillips as he watched a football practice, ► Lean to the left, lean; to the right, stand up, sit down, fight, fight, FIGHT!

Student Life Division 7 Pac-Man, Pizza, Movies Help Splash! Everyone to the pool! Students found the city swimming with places to cool off. In between work and recreation they stopped in at the A W and Dairy Queen for Pac-man and pops. In a recession year, summer and afterschool jobs were economically important parts of students’ lives. They provided experience and training as well as extra cash. Popular expenditures were for pizza, video games, cruising and dates. The money also provided clothes, books for school and other necessities. Many students participated in the boys’ and girls’ basketball program. The activities involved Norman Reed, Sammy Hatcher, Barak Pozas, and others. Many teenagers enjoyed watching little league baseball games and fire works during fourth of July. Other sport activities included weight lifting, tennis, and swimming. Students planning to participate in football, Volleyball and Cheerleading started to practice late in the summer. A few participants included Brian Craig and Erik Ness and volleyball players, Lucy Sandoval, Dianah Curry, and Debbie Riemer. ▲ At Mrs. Dents House, Sean Sullivan and Nicki A DeLander grub on watermelon during the summer get-together of the new and old Publications staffs. ▲ Adding $200.00 to their treasury, cheerleaders Terri Hoffman and Nicky Delander worked at two car washes.

A Chosen for Homecoming Royalty were: Thad Hansen (second attendant); Tammie Olson (first attendant); Buddy Parenteau (first attendent); Princess Terri Hoffman; Prince Dan Case; Dutchess Dianah Curry; Duke Fred Zuniga; Countess Nicky DeLander; Count Erik Ness. Not pictured is Lynda McFarland (second attendant). Alumni Lured Back “Now and Then,” behind the scenes . . . Homecoming created new characters and recreated old memories. As students participated in the dress-up days, alumni were digging through trunks to find old letter sweaters, band uniforms and obsolete football gear. Some of these were worn by alumni on the juniors float. Dress-up days offered the school characters a chance to become, on Monday, a tourist, on Tuesday, a twin, and on Wednesday, a mourner for the Camp Verde Cowboys. Many assorted characters roamed the halls on Thursday and Friday was Spirit Day — when orange and black reigned supreme. The honored royalty, representing each class, were chosen through student body elections. The underclass nobility and King and Queen candidates were announced early in the week. The half-time activities at the evening football game included the marching band, the cheerleaders’ routine and the announcement of top point winner in Homecoming competitions. The Homecoming King and Queen, Joey Martinez and Debbie Riemer, were crowned at the post-game party, and then danced with their attendants. Thad Hansen 'Prays' for a senior win. Mrs. Debbie Brown and Mr. Dan Ayub get into the spirit of the homecoming week by dressing as their favorite characters. ▼ Asked “Was being picked King important to you? the response from Joey Martinez was, Yes, I think it was an accomplishment anyone would like, but most of all it meant a lot to my parents.” Nervousness was not apparent among the royalty, but when asked what was the most amusing event of the week. Queen Debbie Riemer replied, Singing ‘Oh Williams High School' over and over with Tammie to try and calm our nerves. spotlight Dedicatee Honored with Signed Game Bail John Lewandowski was presented the game ball by the Vikings after they had beaten Camp Verde 29 to 0. John had been injured the week before in the Joseph City game. “Duck,” as his teammates affectionately call him, had been the only Viking to miss a game this year to date because of an injury. John never missed a practice despite his injury. He remained an inspiration to the rest of the players. John has lettered in football three years and has earned his black helmet by being an accomplished weight lifter. Because of the injury to his neck, we now refer to our neck exercises in the weight room as DOWSKIS. Coach Richard Hoyt Student Life Homecoming 11 Undefeated Vikes Ravage Cowboys Student council, working as a team, organized Homecoming’s week-long celebration. Using the “Now and Then” theme, the classes had two hours on Monday night to decorate their assigned hallways. Float-building started the week before and continued throughout Homecoming, culminating in a parade through downtown Williams. The bonfire was held on Thursday night. A spirited crowd wes led in cheers by the cheerleaders and Mr. Doug Lee. The grand finale was the victorious Viking football game. Stopped 29-0, the Camp Verde Cowboys could do nothing against the fired-up Vikes. Halftime featured the WHS Marching Band directed by Ms. Faun Nichols-Brown. Royalty was announced and the presentation of flowers to the oldest present alumna Mrs. Vera Black, followed. Steve Schulte accepted the Homecoming trophy for the senior class who emerged with 28.5 points from class competitions. The junior, sophomore, and freshman classes trailed behind with 26, 20, and 13.5 points each. Homecoming ’82 was viewed by Joe I. Spyke as the most spirited in years. A Capturing first place, the senior class float, Circus of the Years, was acclaimed excellent by many spectators.

Don’t drop it!, were familiar sayings during the homecoming events as students tried to earn class points. Activities included, on Monday, the orange neck race and volleyball games (freshmen vs. juniors, seniors vs. sophomores). Juniors and seniors were victorious. On Tuesday, there was the phone booth stuffing at the A W. Wednesday was the final volleyball game for the championship. Later the unbeaten seniors ravaged the faculty. Other noontime activities included the sack race, old clothes race and the junior slave auction. Thursday was slave day for the volunteer juniors. In tug-of-war the volunteer juniors. In tug-of-war the juniors pulled to victory and earned four more points. An enthusiastic pep assembly took place Friday during activity hour. The evening was filled with excitment of the football game. Each class received points for each activity in which they participated. The seniors earned a trophy for the highest number of points. President of student council, Ken Baker, stated that the activities were held “As a celebration for welcoming the alumni.” 14 ▲ ► Vicki Hansen struggles to pass an orange to Dan Case in the orange neck race.

Airband Highlights Year’s Dances There were plenty of opportunities for students to dance the night away as many clubs sponsored this easy moneymaker. There were victory dances, the Homecom ing Dance, the Sweetheart Ball, and the Prom, but the most eagerly awaited dance of the year was the Airband Contest and Dance. Amid the clapping and enthusiastic cries os the audience, eleven airbands performed for over two hundred fans in the Williams High School gym on the evening of January 22. Following the hour and a half concert, a dance was held with Jim Briggs as the disc jockey. The awesome evening was sponsored by the Tusayan yearbook staff, and all proceeds went to help keep down the student’s price for an ’83 yearbook. “Because of the outstanding participation, each person’s yearbook will be two dollars lower than it would have been without the dance proceeds,’’ stated advisor Bonnie Dent. “Devo” portrayed by Tim Phillips, Dan Case, Joey Martinez, and Ron Phillips, sang the new wave song, Peek-a-boo.” Belushi and Akroyd or Sandoval and McDowell? The Blues Brothers took first at the airband contest. “Don Henley” performed around dirty laundry as they sang the song of the same name. It was mimed by Liz Shroyer, Sean Sullivan. Michelle Malone, and Vernon Malone. The “Go-Go’s” placed third. The famous group was imitated by Kim German, Jorge Hansen, Lisa Lindquist, Lynette Pearson, and Lisa Baertlein. Second place was taken by “Kool and the Gang,” featuring Norman Reed and his back-ups. Dances 17 Spirit erupted in a February pep assembly when the rowdy rag became the symbol for Viking energy. Made of old sheets dyed orange, the unlikely morale-booster was the brainchild of Albert Sandoval, Ken Baker and Vince Rogers.Viking fans who did not obtain one of the original ninety rags, went on to design their own. Mrs. Debbie Brown stitched a rowdy section banner. The rags and banner were enthusiastically touted at the boys’ B-West District Tourney in Prescott. Rowdies took credit for shaking up opponents’ free throws and helping Viking spirit soar. Although the B-West tourney placed Vikes number three, the surging enthusiasm was even felt among other teams. Before the tournament ended other schools were waving imitations appropriately colored for their own teams. Cheap, cheap imitations. Ravaging Raving Rebellious Ram- bunctious Rapturous Radical ▼ Mascot Sean Sullivan personifies the determined Viking spirit. Sean utilized parts of the outfit made in 1981 by Tim Mace and Mrs Bonnie Dent, and added accessories of his own.

Dan Case, Ople Phillips ▼ and Albert Sandoval infected the crowd with more giggles than spirit at a basketball pep assembly.

Spyke ► Mrs. Debbie Brown stitches the rowdy section banner with Thad Hansen’s approval. A Rowdiness is a complex emotion which inspires different personalities t varied degrees of enthusiasm. Marianne Lambert, Cathy Lewandowski and Barbi Parenteau are case studies. “Ken Baker, Vince Rogers and I wanted to do something for school spirit, so we thought of the ‘horrible hankie,’ the ‘terrible towel’ and finally we got the idea for the ROWDY RAG. Three nights, ten markers and five bedsheets later we had produced ninety rags!,” declared Albert Sandoval.

Bringing home many trophies and awards, they proved the WHS business program to be one of the best in Arizona. Returning to school for evening meetings, FBLA members worked to raise money for trips and expenses. Selling Current stationery, calenders, seafood, sponsoring the Christmas Ball and stocking the snack machine filled their treasury with well earned dollars. State executives Mike McDowell and Holly Speckles gave members the chance to get more involved in conferences as they were in charge of many activities and needed the chapter’s support and help. “I enjoy being in FBLA,” stated member Kimm Baxter, “because 1 love the trips and everyone is so enthusiastic.” ► Debbie Riemer, Holly Speckles, and Susan Kahon busy themselves with decorating a tree as Amber Dent watches the precedings. ▲ Tammie Olson presented a button declaring advisor Carol German 1 as did all other FBLA chapter presidents at the Region 1 conference hosted by Williams High School.

After being dressed, they played a game that involved pointing to the various parts of a donkey’s body. When they got to the behind of the donkey, they got a finger full of peanut butter. Publications isn’t just for fun and games, it’s a place where a history book is being made. Everyday life of a Tusayan member involves Quad packs, croppers, pictures, grease pencils and Liquid paper. Money making projects started off the year with the ad sales. Tusayan members sold ads to the merchants in town and in Flagstaff. Over $1500 of ads were sold. The Masquerade Ball, and E.T. Raffle, An Angel Raffle, and Airband contest were big money raisers for the club. Editor Susan Kahon feels “Working on the Tusayan is very rewarding. It may be all work during deadlines but it’s definitely worth it when you finally hold the book in your hand.

The local booster club provided funds for 5 new chess sets. The group raised over $100 for t-shirts by sponsoring a victory dance after the football game against Orme on Oct. 1. Meetings were held three times a week; Tuesdays and Thursdays were regular practice sessions with specialized work on openings, end games and strategy. Fridays were reserved for challenge matches and preparation for tournaments. The Apple II computers and the Sargon chess games served as trainers for both beginners and advanced players. Though President David Uebel noted that lack of players was the club’s worst problem, member Eric Reyes remarked, “I enjoy the mental challenge of chess and it’s fun, too.” ► Junior Eric Reyes practices on his crucial end game during a Tuesday night practice session against sophomore Tony Uebel. 28 Clubs Chess Rodeo Trips Offer Members Levity 4 A Tuesday morning meeting offers VICA members a chance to plan spending profits from moneymakers. 4 VICA is a fun organization but you have ►to put time and effort into the club to get any of the rewards.” — Vince Rogers. 4 Robert Leavitt took charge of planning motel accomodations for the Phoenix trip. Staying in a classy Phoenix motel and earning money while having fun are rewards for local VICA members when they travel to the valley for the famous JC Rodeo of Rodeos. The Junior Chamber of Commerce offers VICA chapters the opportunity to sell their rodeo programs and share in the profits. Presdient Vince Rogers was asked how the club benefitted him and he replied, ‘‘By givin’ me a chance to work for a goal (JC Rodeo) and . . . make new friends in other VICA clubs.” To earn money for the big trip, club members stacked brush, had two raffles, a bake sale and a dance. When asked, ‘‘What has VICA done for WHS?,” the chapter president replied, (VICA) got a few kids together that like to get away from it all with reason. (We) enjoy throwing dances and such forth to try to get some off the kids off the street and have organized fun.” Vocational Industrial Clubs of America VICA VICA was enthusiastically supported by Sponsor David Neal, Secretary-Treasurer Tammy Yoder, Mike Martinez.

Becky Glaab, Joel Baertlein, Kenny Baker, Terri Hoffman and sponsor Mrs. Rose Anna Sharpe. “The hardest part of N.H.S. is getting members to realize the importance of self-sacrifice — like finding time to do their service projects. (This is the only club in school you can’t join; you have to be selected.),” stated sponsor Mrs. Rose Anna Sharp. Members are selected by their ability in leadership, service, character, and scholarship. There is a selection committee of teachers and the prinicpal who review each potential member’s qualifications. N.H.S. is a service organization for helping the school and community. Among current projects are collecting cans of food for the Lion’s Club food drive and taking charge of fund raising for the 1983 Tusayan yearbook supplement. Meetings were usually held at lunchtime. Hershey’s Sandwich Shop became a favorite place to order food for such meetings. Jerry Pritchard was asked about funny, memorable things that have happened and he replied, “I don’t know about this year, but the very day I was inducted I was caught by Mrs. Wells while I was copying someone elses’ paper.” Those honored with induction this year included Sue Kahon, Mike McDowell and John Lewandowski. “They only choose the best,” stated Mrs. Bonnie Dent, “and lowering standards would be a mistake.” 30 Vr Clubs N.H.S.

Players or fans, Roundball Club members have one thing in common — a love for the sport of basketball. Early in September the group sold ads for sports programs. Working in conjunction with FBLA, the clubs split a profit of $1100. the programs were handed out free to spectators at football and basketball games. Roundball’s portion of the proceeds went to finance new equipment such as a rebounder. At year’s end. Jerry Pritchard, Greg Hoffman, and Gene Alexander were preparing for one week at the Arizona State University basketball camp. Expenses would be partly furnished by the club. Summer tournament fees are also paid from the fund. Sponsor Neil Bohnsack stated that Roundball has meant an opportunity to work with and help young men develop as athletes and individuals.

With practice beginning a few weeks before school started, the Vikings began devising stunning plays to dazzle speac-tators for the first night game under the lights. A record of 3000 fans attended during the season paying in part for the new lights. After school, the gym was full of volleyball players serving, setting, and spiking. Although many games were not well-attended, the girls provided their own cheering and spirit. Ears appeared as hair was cropped for basketball season. Football players had a week’s respite between sports although many began practice the following Monday. A new rebound machine began new drills for the 29 boys readying themselves for conference play. Under instruction of a new coach, the 19 girls making up the JV and Varsity teams practiced stringently after school. Wrestling season came close to being dropped from school curriculum as lack of participation and school apathy led the administration to believe it would not be miss- ed. Eager wrestlers convinced the administration otherwise with help. Baseball and softball players set out the bases and played catch while tennis players volleyed and practiced serves, and tracksters jogged and stretched. Although seniors eagerly awaited their release from school, they enjoyed their last chance for high school sports. Miles were traveled in adverse conditions (like the old van) and some of the best memories were created in places like Burger King. Before the games, managers scurried for equipment, tickets were sold, cheerleaders stretched, scorekeepers sharpened pencils, referees studied the lineups, and the junior class started the corn popping . . . behind the scenes. ► Joey Martinez releases a victory cry after a 29-0 victory vs. Camp Verde during Homecoming.

Sports Girls' Basketball 49 The 1982-83 school year brought many drastic changes to the Williams High School weight room. All, of course, for the good. With a boost from the Booster Club, the high school purchased two new leg machines in the last two years, and also a few new weight bars. These new additions have greatly increased the strength of all of the real athletes. The biggest addition to the weight room, was the addition itself. By this I mean the expansion. The athletes themselves were the people who actually expanded the weight room. They started by cleaning the old garage next to the old weight room. Then the big step came, the breaking out of the wall between the two rooms. As you can see through the football team, the weight room is the biggest part of being so successful. As a members of Williams High, I would like to see the weight room expanded even more in the very near future.

Sam Hatcher Terri Hoffman Jack Horner Karen Howard People Juniors 63 Juniors Look Forward to Graduation The class of ’84, with its trend setting styles and video brains, spent their transi tional junior year preparing to be “top dogs.” and giving seniors competition for homecoming activities, local jobs and school leadership. With more time to pick available elective classes, and as more valuable, experienced team members, juniors found teachers, coaches and employers willing to give them more responsibility and chances to prove their value. “Juniors are the mainstay of the yearbook staff during second semester,” stated yearbook sponsor, Bonnie Dent. By then, seniors are busy preparing for future goals, and our juniors take on more responsibility. ► After taking his final in Contemporary Issues, Rich Cox takes time to relax and listen to music Cathy Lewandowski Shawna Luckenbaugh Elliott Ness Steve Ortiz Debbie Otero Barbi Parenteau Fellowship of Christian Athletes FCA is an organization for boys and girls of high school age who want to share their feelings and beliefs about God, Jesus Christ, and athletics.

People Juniors 65 Jeff Alexander Jenny Bennett Jayesh Bhakta Charles Brookbank Family Feeling Gets Sophomores Together Asked what are some funny or memorable moments this year, Shelley Malone replied, “A memorable event would be Homecoming while we were building floats. It seemed like we were just one big happy family. Homecoming is the only time of the year that we come together as a class.” A common opinion of the sophomores is that they are more involved together as a class and have begun to earn money. Among these money makers was a bake sale, car wash and the gym lobby coke machine. The best thing about being a sophomore is “You don’t have to worry about getting initiated anymore and you can laugh at the freshmen,” joked Jeff Alexander. ▼ Physical Education pupils waited and watched as their turns came up for basketball skill tests.

Homecoming proved the class of ’86 to be “on top of things’ as they surprised upper classmen and captured second place in the float competition. Chairperson Sean Winchester took charge to bring this pride to the class. After Homecoming, they went on to enjoy afterschool activities like movies, arcade games, skiing, concerts, tennis, roller and ice skating, football and basketball games, etc. “We will always be one crazy bunch.

Faculty and Students Learn Together Student memories of current faculty were Mr. Englert in Bermuda shorts (on tourist day), Mr. Ayub in spaced out hippie attire, Mrs. Dent with white liquid paper spots on her face, Mr. Baker auctioning off slaves, and Mr. Hoyt hiding under his desk. An average day for a teacher includes the five classes they teach and approximately two extra hours of their own time spent on school work. Besides the average five days a week six out of fourteen teachers claim to take schoolwork home on weekends. Some of the biggest problems in the classroom are students who put forth no effort, are absent too much and have a lack of discipline, “I try to make them see how important learning is, and how much the subject matter will help them in later life.” said Mrs. German when asked how she tries to motivate students to learn. One of the teachers said that his biggest problem is himself. When asked about the biggest rewards of teaching. “When I see the light of understanding come into a student’s eyes, it is a beautiful reward. Also when former students return to visit with me, I am delighted.’’ explains Mrs. Zettler. Responding to the same question. Mr. Baker explained, “I have the opportunity to help young people learn and mature, I also have the opportunity to keep up to date on modern times and to learn from young people. They teach me as much as I teach them.” “I truly enjoy being around ambitious young people. I enjoy watching students learn. When I no longer have fun teaching. I’ll quit,’’ exclaimed Mr. Richardson.

She is always there with a helping hand, not only for me, but anyone she comes in contact with Her enthusiasm so contagious that she has the power to influence anybody to become interested in whatever she happens to have her fingers on at the moment Carol German expects the best in a person, encourages the best from a person. She will see the good points of an individual and emphasize those points. She trust the students of WHS and expects them to be honest and trusting, just as she is.

WHS students are affected by administrative decisions on three levels. “The purpose of education in the United States should be to provide all students with experiences which will enable them to make intelligent decisions by which to govern their lives. Hopefully, these ideals and ex- School periences will develop productive, useful and contributing citizens, who are able to function affectively in a changing world,” stated Principal Lin Adreon, whose decisions maintain school discipline. Policies, philosophies, hiring and decisions affecting the whole district are made by the William School Board members (elected, but receive no pay) and Superintendent of Schools, Dr. John Watson. It is Dr. Watson who tries to predict the weather to determine school closuer days. He is also “budget watchdog” and works on the financial challenge of maintaining excellent schools in the fact of decreasing enrollment, inflation, and budget cuts. The third level of decisions affecting schools aremade by the state legislature. Their recent vote to decrease tax levy spending to a 4% increase instead of the former 7%, cost Williams school district many dollars. All teachers at WHS were instructed to cut their '83-84 budget requests by 10%. Although many students would be hard pressed to name their school board members or explain a tax levy, they are able to appreciate that Williams High School can offer them a quality education because of the work done, behind the scenes.

It provides an additional source of funding for clubs, sports and other worthy causes. Several Rotary International members were the catalyst behind the club’s formation. The kickoff event was a banquet held in March, 1980 to honor the Viking state champion basketball team. Among sponsored projects to their credit are academic awards, weight room equipment, and financial support to clubs, teams, band and publications. The current officers are President Don Smith; Rick Wadleigh, First Vice-President; Virgil Curry, Second Vice-President; Secretary Jimmie Cox and Treasurer Betty Kallberg. The Booster Club’s till is filled through a variety of money-raising projects. Two and a half cords of oak firewood and a quilt made by Mrs. Mar- tha Otero raised over $1000 through three raffles. Members also sold jackets, cushions and hats to Viking fans. “A present goal,” stated former officer, Dave Wahlfeld, ‘‘is to provide a scoreboard for the baseball field.” The Tusayan Yearbook Staff hereby dedicates this 1983 annual to the Williams Viking Booster Club, a group of caring individuals who donate so mucht time and effort for our school.

Academic Superstars Vie for Top Awards Among the 187 students striving for an education at WHS are three whose grade points place them at the top of their class. Valedictorian Steve Pellissier considered the most important aspect of the honor to be being at the top of, “a class that is very competitive and respected.” He plans to get a degree in electrical engineering and find a good job and own a gym on the side. Salutatorian Susan Kahon stated that in order to achieve a high class standing student should start working for A’s as a freshmen and “never let up.” She hopes to earn a dual degree in journalism and business administration with an emphasis on computers. Historian Joel Baertlein found the task of writing the class history to be the only draw back to the honor. His future plans involve the University of Arizona and mechanical engineering. Ex-Viking Scouts Future Opponents of Alma Mater Team “Part of the fun is interaction with kids,” stated Richard Dent when asked about his behind-the-scenes work on behalf of WHS athletics. “Scouting is one way to help the team because it gives them more knowledge of wat to expect from an opponent ... their little hidden tendencies ... then when I see the Vikings play that team and stop play after play of theirs, I know I’ve contributed.” Mr. Dent and Paul Steffens scouted football opponents voluntarily and traveled many miles on behalf of the Vikings to see teams to whom they had no allegiance. His support of the WHS weightlifting program first came about through friendship with Coach Richard Hoyt. The 1983 Dent’s A W Power Lift Meet, scheduled for June 4, will be the fourth annual event. Richard Dent and wife, Barbara, have two children, Heather and Eric. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dent are natives of Williams and graduates of WHS. Steve Pellissier Susan Kahon ■■■■ Joel Boertlein 81 People Honors ADS Part-time employment in local businesses became a way of life for some industrious students. Jobs cut recreational and free time, but they offered the special advantage of paychecks. Although uses for the money were as varied as the employees themselves, most were aiming to better their lives. College educations, vehicle payments, and experience (so better future jobs could be obtained) were long-range plans. More immediate expenditures were for clothes, books and entertainment. “I’m going into the Navy in June,” stated senior Ray Mulvihill, an employee of Rod’s Steak House, “and my wages go to make my truck payments. I don’t have much left for gas, though.” — spotlight — Parent Involvement Aids Behind Scenes Family support and love is an unmeasurable resource that helps WHS students to be the best they can be. The Parenteau family name has become synonymous with a love for kids in Williams. Often on the scene when school activities are in motion, Mr. and Mrs. Albert (Bud) Parenteau assist with Booster Club, Little League, Church youth group, and attend nearly every athletic event. He is also a school board member. One memorable moment occured at the B-West district basketball tourney in Prescott. When we arrived two students came up and asked us to sit in their cheering section instead of with the “old” folks. That was special,” stated Mrs. Barb Parenteau. The Parenteaus are quick to add that they are proud of the kids, families, schools and teachers in this town. They have raised five children in Williams. 82 Ads Division A Sophomore John Rui2 spends twenty hours most weeks bagging Safeway groceries.

Mr. Dent has served on the Williams school board for twenty-nine years, including twelve years as president. He has also served on the Arizona School Board Association in various capacities including president in 1974. Recently Mr. Dent was honored by the ASBA as one of the first elected to All-Arizona School Board, the organization’s hall of fame. A leading advocate of preparing students for employment, Mr. Dent played a leading role in establishing the WHS vocational education program, and was instrumental in school building bond issue passages. Mr. Dent was this congressional district’s delegate for the Federal Rela- Dent Serves Schools tions Network, for which he was sent to Washington to call on congressmen. “There’s no place in society more important than being involved in public education,’’ stated Jack Dent. “Williams is fortunate to have excellent people at every level.” “Schools and teachers are one of the most important segments of our society, because they control the quality of the future. I became a school board membher because it seemed to be such an enormous job and it was one where I thought I could help. I have worked long and hard to improve our school system and curriculum, and to give the young people of Williams and Arizona a chance to become the best influence for the future.” Mr. Dent was in the auto parts business for over thirty years and is now semi-retired. He and his wife, Jacie, raised seven children in Williams. spotlight Ads WILLIAMS VIKINGS BOOSTER CLUB Supporting academics and sports at WHS — a hometown organization dedicated to our children. fpsilon V igma .i Jpha International Beta Epsilon Chapter Educational, Philanthropic, Social Organization “Go Forward by LEarning and Doing” KC HILITES INC.

A Shelley Malone executes a back flip on the trampoline as her spotters watch for her safe landing. Students Plan a Fun-filled Summer “Time has flown swiftly; the school year is almost over. Although the homework keeps coming, classroom conversation drifts to weekend trips to the Verde, state championship in spring sports, graduation, and upcoming field trips and conventions. The teachers try to hide it, but I can see that they would also like to be out in the sunshine instead of stuck in a classroom,” observed Joe I. Spyke from his vantage point three inches from the floor. Doing aerobics to get ready for their swimsuits or looking for a summer job kept students busy. Cleaning out lockers, completing last-minute assignments, and planning good-bye parties occupied seniors’ time as they bid good-bye to high school a week early. Researching for his final term paper, senior John Lewandowski looks up references as Eva Gabaldon, Wade Zarlingo, and Michele Gorney utilize the library’s peace and quiet. Jayesh Bhakta and John Ruiz observe as Sean Sullivan applies a band-aid to Lorraine Lomas’s finger. “She pointed her finger at me so I bit it!” kidded Sean.
