t was a year to remember. We experienced many changes In leadershio, dances, registra- tion, graduation. The list goes on. And as students, we had a say in the changes that hap- pened. In the fall we voted from five different parties for the student council presidency. From those five, the leading team, seniors Tom Fleener and Dave Stenberg, won by only five votes. In November we had another decision to make. Ted Mondale and John Zacarro visited Ames High to encourage us to vote for their parents Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro. President Ronald Reagan was re-elected for a second term, but Geraldine Ferraro presented the idea of a female vice-president to the nation's voters. We also saw dances make a reappearance. After almost six months without a dance, except Prom, we began to have dances again, with few alcohol-related incidents. Homecoming and For- mal both experienced changes. Homecoming lost a bonfire and gained a free dance after tne coronation, Thursday night. The Christmas Formal changed its name to the Winter Formal so the name wouldn't descriminate against non-Chris- tians. Computer registration changed our semester break as well as our schedule. We had one less free day, but the standing in long lines and other hassles of self-scheduling were gone. As we saw the seniors graduate, a new batch of sophomores came in. [hese were, perhaps, the last set of sophomores to enter Ames High, be- cause rumour was, in 1986, freshmen would be at the high school. Another year passed and with the changes and improvements we realized we were A Cut Above. 4

July -a month for vacationing Along with scalding days, cold pools and lemonade, July brought a variety of activities for Ames High students. For many students July was a month for traveling. While some students went on traditional family vacations, others chose to go alone or with friends. Senior Sandra Herrera had a rather un- usual vacation. The Columbian foreign exchange student went on a trip or- ganized by her sponsor, the Rotary Club. Two hundred fifty students from 21 different countries participated in the trip that lasted one month and four days, Five buses and a van were used to drive the students all over the Unit- ed States. We started in Sharon, Pennsylvania and went West,” said Herrera. It was so much fun! We didn't get any sleep! We were dancing every night, break- ing the curfew! And we got to see so many places since we traveled 3000 miles. | especially loved San Fran- WRITE ON. Senior Nicki Murrell contributes to the grafitti on a wall in West Germany. JUST CLOWNING AROUND.
