i Breakin’ The Sheesh! Not ANOTHER yearbook with a strange theme nobody understands! Why can't we just have The Pilot' back with a plain, simple cover and no silly little theme? 'Breakin' the Mold?' Didn't anybody tell those yearbookers that break- dancing is OUT and was never IN in the first place?!? You just don't get it, do you? 'Breakin' the Mold' doesn't refer to breakdancing! I think the yearbookers are trying to show everyone that some traditions are made to be BROKEN. A-O is a school that's not afraid to do that now and then. But still, wanting to break traditions doesn't seem like enough to base a theme on.” Well, look around — haven't you seen some Mold!(?) changes around school this year? Oh, I understand! Like Mr. Zachary and his Good Monday morning' announcements? Exactly. Nobody could get along without those, right? Right. And trying to get used to not eating lunch in the gym! Yeah, but we did get an ala carte line and new pop machine out of it. Don't forget about all the new teachers we got, our first sock hop, a newspaper staff, and all those other tradition-breaking changes that were made! I think you're getting the idea! A-O is a special school, and hopefully people who go to school here can learn that changes aren't always bad. 1. Sophomore Jarrod D. is in good hands with Junior Dave M. 2. Not another beach day! 3. Doug B. shows us how much he enjoys the new pop machines! 4. Put on a happy face! 3. Darn it. Scott. I told you not to buy a car from Berry's World of Wheels. 6. Cause I'm a woman ... 7. I like the night life. I like the boogie ... 8. When we said Breakin' the Mold. Gina took us literally! 9. Double Trouble 2

Masako Oto, our Japanese exchange student, says that although the people here are basically the same as in Japan, our lifestyle is quite different. When asked what was the strangest thing about America, she answered, The short, fat cucumbers. Japanese cucumbers are long and thin. She thinks it strange that kids here go to bed so early. She liked going to school here because there were fewer tests, and she did not have tc wear a uniform. The things she missed most while here were family, friends, and fish. She believes American food is too fattening. To all the students at A-OHS she says, Thank you very much for being my friend and for helping me and accepting me.” (T.U.) 4 Exchange Student
