This year the U.S. had many promis- ing athletes going into the 1984 Winter Olympics. Not only did these athletes ex- cel in their sports, some unexpected tal- ents appeared on the slopes and ice. On the slopes Phil Mahre came in a disappointing 8th in the Giant Salomn but came back to take the gold in the Salomn. Phil's twin brother, Steve Mahre, finished 14th in the Giant Sa- lomn and took the silver in the Salomn. Phil not only got a gold medal that day. he also got a new baby son. Then we have Bill J oe Willie Johnson coming to the games with total confidence and taking the gold to Switzerland's surprise but not his. Even though Tamara McKinney was expected to take a medal. Debbie Arm- strongmoved up and captured the gold with Christin Cooper close behind with the silver. Our victories however, were not only on the slopes. In fact our biggest victory could of been Scott Hamilton capturing the gold in Men's Figure Skating. Scott, having Schwachmannis Syndrome as a child. was not expected to live that long. He proved everybody wrong with his super talent. Then there was Elaine Zayak, who as a child had halfofher foot cut off by a lawnmower. Even though Elaine only placed 8th, she has many years to go. Another Lady's figure skater that stole everybody's heart was Tiffany Chin, who at 16 took 4th and certainly will be back next time. U.S.'s biggest hope in Wom- en's figured skating was Rosalyn Sumners, who after the short program was knocked to 2nd and stayed there tak- ing the silver. I-low could someone adopt two silver medal skaters from the same orphanage? No one knows but the Car- rurtherses certainly did prove they had talent. While only hoping for a bronze, they took the silver overjoyed. Even though Blumberg and Seibert missed a bronze by so little they certainly did cap- ture the audience with their outstanding talent. The thrill of victory was felt by many U.S. athletes but there is that ever present agony ofdefeat that was also felt. Win or lose however. the U.S. will always be proud oftheir Olympic athletes. after all winning isn't everything. l. Thc Carrutherses soared to new heights. earning silver. 2.

This year the yearbook editors started off on the right foot by going to Yearbook West. It was a one week conference at UCSC, to learn more about putting to- gether a yearbook and improving one. After learning all this, we brought it back to our staff and they went wild. Putting together our yearbook this year was a true challenge, and a lot of fun. We coordinat- ed new and eye catching ideas into the opening section, along with the entire book. The staff worked long, hard hours not only during school, but after school, and even on Saturday. Sometimes just to meet deadlines. Each one of our staff members had their own way of shining out in complet- ing this year,s yearbook. For instance there is Mike Munoz who was our main camera man. Mike was the one that dedi- cated his time in taking pictures and stay- ing after school to develop them. Then there was Jennifer Palmieri who dedi- cated her time to presenting the yearbook A LIFE TIME EXPERIENCE staff with vocabulary words that the stu- dent body never heard of Plus the fact that she drove numerous miles each week to deliver and receive film from Bay Photo. Then there is Tim Washing- ton who dedicated his time to getting ads. Tim, a freshman at Aptos High. spent most of his weekends down town getting ads for the yearbook. not to mention spending time after school doing layouts. and preparing the ad section all by him- self Shari Spichtig was the liberalist of the group who spent her time getting pic- tures ofall types ofpeople and all types of places. She also spent time after school and added variety to this years yearbook. Of course this years elite staff would not be complete without Kim Miles. Kim Miles never complained about anything. She was the type that was quiet. worked afticiently. and took time to help others. We would also like to give a special thanks to Crystal Gatty for her extra ef- fort in putting together the Senior Section and Ads. Not only did the staff do ar excellent job. our advisor. Mr. Pezzoni was always there with his opinion anc helpful advice. Tenny Garner, our rep was also there to lighten the tension. anc make sure we had everything coverec from A-Z. Making arrangments with thc plant at the last minute seemed to be her major role. For us the Editorsg Natasha Orlins Chief Editor. Rosalee Pfister Lay out Editor, Steve Brown Copy Editor.
