I'm late for school.'' Oh no! A test to- day?!?” Sound familiar? Do you ever realize how much our con- versation revolves around time? See you tonight. What are you doing this weekend?” I’ll write you a note next period, we aren’t doing anything.” Time is a given. We either use it well, or abuse it through procrastina- tion; and do we ever know how to procrastinate! Procrastination can utterly destory the well laid plans of mice or men, and by misusing it, we can find our- selves in pretty serious pizza crumbs. Time has a tendency of squeezing us in its vice-like grip, like the passionate embrace of lovers who have been seperated by time, not wanting to let go. Our research papers tend to do that to us. Memorizing lines for WINNIE-THE-POOH and learning music for Choral En- semble have their drain on us as well. Even sleep has a tendency of being no friend. After the hard grind, all we want to do is crash. Instead that blasted alarm rudely detonates our blissful sleep like an invasion force, screaming Bonzai!”. Yearbook pressures especially choke the very fun out of life; time is no ally, instead it is a bitter enemy. The constant push-push-push to accomplish our tasks leave a physical, emotional, and spiritu- al drain on us that only a break can provide. The needed vaca- tion comes for us on weekends, Christmas vacation, Mt. Baker, Spring Break, and Camp Gilead. Have you ever noticed that the timing of these breaks, and holidays too, come at the precise time that we need it the most. God in infinite wisdom, has structured a rest period” in cre- ation, a time to reflect, recharge, and to be rejuvenated to take on the challenge of life. Look at time as being a friend who is always at your side, desir- ing to help. To misuse a friend- ship is to to create some prob- lems in that relationship. Treat time well; exercise self-disci- pline by finding those creative periods of rest to balance out those exhaustive stretches of stress, and you will succeed. by Todd Storry a Putting things off is serious pizza crumbs 11 2 THEME THE INSTANT SOCIETY The Instant Society aptly describes a people who try to live life to the max without learning the importance of slow- ing down. Though we are fortu- nate to live in a relatively slower paced area, we easily find our- selves not prioritizing our time. We try to find the instant gratifi- cation of doing our own thing, and find ourselves crumbling under the load of failed respon- sibilities. We live in the quick-fix soci- ety, and our Christian book- stores are not helping maintain the focus that Jesus would want us to have. They continue to pump out books giving four step keys to success, or pre- scriptions on how to maximize your potential. How to have a happy family , or How to be- come a millionnaire”, among others, are subjects that are infil- trating our homes. Steps are giv- en on how to be spiritfilled. Ev- erything has been reduced to simplistic self-centered goals. The business world says to be successful requires a time com- mitment of 60+ hours a week. Anything less than that is re- garded as inadequate. The tele- vision media runs mini-series like Amerika to monopolize one's time. Sequels are designed to keep you hooked. Yet, in spite of it all, lying on the side of the highway of life are the stressed-out hulks of those who spun out—ruined families, re- bellious children who never knew their workaholic parents, the financially overcommitted, and worst of all, the rusty wrecks of lost spirituality. Chris emphasized in his min- istry that people were important. He took the time to listen, and to share the hope of a life com- mitted to God. He left no false impressions, because he laid out clearly what it cost to be his fol- lower. We have forgotten the eternal truth that things of value take time. In our instant soci- ety , we have forgotten that it takes time to be holy. It takes time to pray. It takes time to study the Bible. It takes time to witness and have a lifestyle that attracts people to Christ. It takes time to develop a relationship that builds into a marriage and a family. What does it cost to take this kind of time? It may cost you the dream of owning that new car, or having that high salary job. It may cost sacrificing per- sonal dreams and letting God's desire for a committed Christian come to pass because you have yielded to his control. To be holy as Christ is holy is costly. Are you mastering your time? Or are you being mastered by time? What are you willing to give up in order to buy the time it takes to know God and serve his people? by Greg Kanehen THEME 3 THE ENTOMBMENT Bakkers’ Mistake In 1980, Jim Bakker of the PTL Club had an affair with his secretary. She then allegedly blackmailed him for $250,000. Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart became aware of the scandal and attempted to bring it to the attention of the Assemblies of God denomination, but somehow it was leaked to the press. Since then Swag- gart has blasted Bakker and there has been mudslinging ever since. Bakker has re- signed, transferring his ministry over to fundamentalist minister, Jerrry Falwell. Bakker has been on a self-imposed si- lence, and the second weekend of June, made aretum trip to South Carolina, to a Time for the Oscars And the winner is ... There were many winners on the night the stars shined. The night of the Academy Awards. March 30, 1987. It was a special night as Platoon” won four Oscars including Best Picture. It is a story of the tramautic time of the Vietnam War. Oliver Stone who won for Best Di- rector said, What I think your saying is that it should never ever in our lifetimes happen again. For the First time in their careers, Paul Newman and Michael Caine won for Best Actor and Supporting Actor. The clinch is, neither one of them showed up because they thought they would not win. overwhelming welcome. There has been a lotof controversy sur- rounding Bakker due to misappropiation of funds, poor management skills, sexual immorality, and violation of ministerial creed. Reactions have run from total for- giveness to total banishment. The media has taken great delight in exposing the hypocrisy in today’s Chris- tianity, but the Christian faith remains true because of its anchor and hope, Jesus Christ. by Andy Phillips Dianne Wiest won for her supporting role in Hannah and Her Sisters directed by Woody Allen. But, the exciting thing was that Marlee Martin picked up an Oscar for Best Actress in Children of a Lesser God. She is the first deaf actress to re- ceive an Oscar. She said, in sign language, I am an actress who just doesn't happen to hear. I have my own hearing. It’s differ- ent from yours, but its mine. Although he never won an Oscar, Steven Speilberg was given the Thalberg Award for his many contributions such as E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Hon- orary Award was given to Ralph Bella- my,a man who has had 103 movie roles.

For six years, our President has demon- strated honesty and had earned the trust of most Americans, but because of one mistake in his terrorist policy , the Americans have begun to wonder en President Reagan appointed Lt. Col. Oli- ver North as assistant to Adm. Poindexter who was in charge of finding a way to bring the hostages in Iran home. The power and money that Col. North had in his hands was enough to drive him to sell American arms to our supposed enemy in Iran. This is where the scandal began. From there the money gained in arms dealing was then stored in a Swiss bank account for later use in helping out the Contras in Nicaraugua. The truth was not brought out for quite some time, but when it did come out, the persons involved said nothing about it and tried to deny it ever happended. The recent Congressional hearings are bearing out that perhaps President Reagan was more involved than was first indicated. His acceptance of full responsibility ini- tially, now appears to be more than he first indicated. by: Jim Engell YEAR IN REVIEW 5 FACULTY THE TIME INVESTORS. We are thankful for the group of men and women that have been brought by the Lord to guide and instruct us in the development of Christian maturity. They invest tremendous amounts of time and energy to provide the envi- ronment of love, acceptance, and edu- cation to help us become all that we are meant to be. They range in exper- ience from rookie to 20+ year veter- ans. They have wisdom and creativity. Some are a riot, others very mellow. Some are predictable, and others keep us constantly guessing. Some are our most treasured friends, and others are regarded as second moms . We need them, and we have found, that they also need us. We are glad to make them feel fulfilled, and we are thankful that they meet our needs as well. by Cora Afman Mrs. Lee Third Fourth grade Mrs. Fleck Kindergarten Mrs. Medema Mrs. Kanehen ' Second grade Second grade a Some are our most treasured friends, and others are regarded as our second moms”. 99 Mrs. Everson Fourth Fifth grade Mr. Engstrom J.H.

Health, Bookkeeping WELCOME! This year there was a new addition to the faculty. Pauline Logan came to us from Montana with her two chil- dren and her husband. Her pastor rec- ommended the Burn Road Bible Church, where she meant Mrs. Leon- ard. Mrs. Leonard informed her of an opening at the school for teaching French. Mrs. Logan was a housewife, tele- phone operator, and secretary prior to becoming a teacher here. Her interest in French began as a high schooler where she took three years of French. As a sophomore in college, she en- joyed a three month trip to France, and gained a lot through conversing in French with the French people. Thanks for coming, Mrs. Logan. God bless you as you continue here. by Cora Afman Mr. Hovik J.H.

There have been many moments of fun - t.p., plays, JSB, skits at Mt. Baker, the pond at Gilead, drama, what a year! There have been reflective moments - chapel, prayer time in class, quiet talks with a teacher, early morning devotions at Camp Casey, campfire at Gilead, what a year! The joyous moments also stand out - a The ever-present smile, the cheerful spirit, the willingness to go the extra mile, and the motherly touch to tend to war wounds, are all characteristics of Mrs. Koster. Her compassion for student and staff alike, and her desire to reflect Christ in her speech and actions, all influence the staff to recognize her with the OUT- STANDING CHRISTIAN SERVICE happy student who has just made honor roll for the first time, news and a student finding a personal relationship with Christ for the first time, Graduation, soccer, bas- ketball and track triumphs - what a year! It has been a year of watching many stu- dents attain their personal best academi- cally, spiritually and socially. As the year ends we all realize we are not the same people we were when the year began. We have all had opportunities to grow and mature. For many, the task was well done. Mrs. Kathy Engetl AWARD for the 1986-87 school year. Raising four children, helping her hus- band, John, on the farm, and being in- volved with Oso Community Church, keeps her schedule busy and fulfilling. She brings to the school office an air of effi- ciency, professionally, and courtesy that make visitors, students, and staff feel ex- tremely comfortable. 8 ADMINISTRATION ACS' Elite take time to shop the Thrift Store. THRIFT STORE The Arlington Thrift Store has not only provided a sizeable contribution to the operating budget this year, but it has filled a need in the community for a center for good used merchandise. The persons who contribute items are countless and the 10 to 15 faithful volunteers who man the store are invaluable. The store manager, MaryAnn Wisman, and the assistant man- ager, Grace Andringa are proud of the men and women who donate hours and days to the operation of the Thift Store. by Kathy Engell Mary Ann Wisman shows the spirit of all of the volunteers. VOLUNTEERS Volunteers are A.C.S. are the grease that keeps the wheels turning. Many ac- tivities would be ommited if it were not for the help of the many parents who don- ate a day or part of a day each week. In addition there are many who volun- teer for special tasks such as Marcia Thu- line, who spent many hours setting up the new computer system for the office. Her help with the jog-a-thon makes it a suc- cess. Barb Turpin is often found at school working on Family Fellowship events. Stan Boyer is willing to do whatever is need, from writing a special program for the computer, to working on the budget committee. In addition to helping with telephoning and other office tasks, MaryAnn Wisman is often found at the piano working as a volunteer with the music students. When she is not doing that, she is busy transport- ing the singers to a concerts. Sandy Sals- bury will be taking a year off next year after eight years of listening to third grade oral book reports. She must know all the third grade literature by heart! by Kathy Engcll VOLUNTEERS 9 FINE ARTS MINI-CLASSES AND TALENT SHOW A full day of arts, crafts, and classes highlighted the Fine Arts Festival for K-8th grades. Class instruction including painting, paper mache animals, and bak- ing. The talent show saw stu- dents from the entire school par- ticipate in such talent displays as: drama, music, oral readings, lip-sync, and comedy routines. by Jaylene Wisman 10 FINE ARTS UP, UP, AND AWAY! At four o'clock in the morn- ing, there is not much going on anywhere. In most homes, the dads are snoring, the babies cooing, the teenagers grunting, and moms are sighing in relief. The birds are not awake, the ani- mals are through with nightly prowls, and the sun has yet to make its morning announce- ment. The farmers are beginning to awake to get ready for the morning milking or other agrar- ian responsibilities. Perhaps there is a pot of coffee brewing set to begin at four in the morn- ing. However, if you are Marcia Circo, of Adrift Ballooning, you are scanning the weather report to determine if today is the day to give most of the 190 students at Arlington Christian their first shot at going up in a hot air balloon. The whole event of hot air ballooning was the brainchild of Mrs. Fay Medema and Mrs. Sharon Kanehen, in connection with their second grade class' study of hot air balloons. The students were able to witness the process of laying out the bal- loon, filling it with hot air, and to take part in a tethered ride. The tethered ride was an all school event, especially with some high school muscle being used for rope responsibilities. Andy Phillips. Ray York, David Andringa, Wes Perrault, and Brent Strand were among the helpers. Thanks guys for the memories! Students received a special treat when the hot air balloon visited school.

Photographer Andy Phillips gets a uqiquc perspective from inside the balloon. People on the ground looked tiny from up in the sky. HOT AIR BALLOON 13 CAREER DAY Career Day is not only a time to get out of class but a time to think about the future. Mary Ann Wisman graciously gave of her time to organize the seminars. Included in the careers avail- able were: Floral Design, Law Enforcement, Clinical Psycholo- gy, Bamking Careers, Real Es- tate, Dental Careers, Radio Broadcasting, Travel, Health Careers, Cosmetology, Nursing, Technical and Business Careers, Teaching, Physical Therapy, and Insurance Careers The offerings were obviously wide and varied All the people who made pre- sentations were informative and interesting. Our thanks to those who gave of their time to broad- en our understanding of future careers. byjaylene Wisman I Time to learn about goal setting from Phyllis Newman. Judy Ostile talked about teaching to a group of very interested students. Floral Design with Pat Quigley was hands on experience, as she brought materials for the students to work with. 14 CAREER DAY As the hot air fills the balloon, so will God's Spirit fill the mind and heart of those obedient to them. 19 16 ELEMENTARY Travis Ahre Brooke Bornkamp Tyler Croyle Rana Culley Aaron Klein Adam Klein Heidi Lane George Lanting Sean Logan KINDERGARTEN ii ...A TIME TO BEGIN KINDERGARTEN 17 eing adopted is some- “rj thing special and the first grade class knew that. So, they adopted the oak tree in front of the school. Once a month, they went out- side and took a picture of the tree to see the changes: the colorful leaves of fall, the barren branches of winter, and the life that is shown through the buds of spring. They also wrote a sto- ry each month about the changes in the tree. They had a very special project that they were involved in. To practice their letter writing, they would write letters to ill or injured peo- ple. The joy of receiving letters helped cheer the people up and make them feel better. They had many highlights in their year. At Thanksgiving time, Mr. Erickson brought in his model of the Mayflower, which was very interesting for them. Tylene brought her pup- pies in for the class to see. Be- fore Christmas, they all went to Mrs. Cusic's house and decorat- ed cookies. They developed skills in various forms of paint- ing. Watercolor was one skill they learned. The style and tech- niques of watercolor, such as how to keep the colors apart so as not to let them run all togeth- er was one important concept. They also grew in their ability to string paint and block paint. Mrs. Cusic said, It's been a very peaceful and pleasant year. Her goals for her students were to better their oral communication, help them improve reading skills, and to write clearly.

When asked what it was like to each teach a half day, Mrs. Medema replied, It is very easy since Mrs. Kanehen and I are very much alike. We find time to communicate and to co- ordinate plans. I like it very much. Even though I just teach half days, I still spend after- noons at school to prepare for the next days lessons. Mrs. Kanehen had a different per- spective on half days. She re- sponded. 'With teaching half days, I have more energy. I'm more creative, and I have a lot more time to focus, not only on my class but also on my family. The biggest highlight of their year was arranging for the hot air balloon to come to the school. A project they worked on was making a map of the continents and oceans. At Thanksgiving, they put on the Thanksgiving play of when the Pilgrims and Indians had dinner together. In the spring, they put on the play, The Selfish Giant. The teachers both had goals for the class. Mrs. Medema wanted to help them learn self-control, how to work independently, to apply what they had learned, and to grow spiritually. Mrs. Kanehen also wanted them to learn self-control, but also to learn the three rules of the sec- ond grade: do whatever is neces- sary, whatever is helpful, and whatever is kind. The goals they had for themselves were to make learning fun, make learn- ing interesting, help them enjoy their studies and to feel good about themselves. By: Jaylenc Wisman ...A TIME TO SHARE SECOND GRADE 19 THIRD FOURTH Joy Alskog Sarah Bartlet Heather Croyle Ryan Erickson Two of the many things the third and fourth graders do during the year are going to the aquarium and putting on a musical. The class has gone to the Warm Beach Convalescent Center and the Josephine Sunset Home in Stanwood. One of the many highlights of the year is the Fine Arts Festival and the chapel on China. The units of money, time, New Eng- land, and the Mid-Atlantic States were some special pro- jects that were done. One positive thing from the split class is that the kids learn from each other. A minus is that are different levels of learning. Mul- tiplication is a special thing the class does. The class has a vari- ety of talents. They include writ- ing, ballet, and singing. Mrs. Lee wants the class to walk closer with God by becoming more like Christ and also to learn to love poetry. Mrs. Lee has been teaching at our school for seven years and one of her goals is to become the best teacher she can be.

FOURTH FIFTH THE OPEN DOOR TO ADVENTURE The fourth and fifth grades are starting to do new things. The class ventured to the Everett General Hospital and to the Museum of History and Indus- try in Seattle. The class per- formed a Christmas play for Mrs. Lee's class and the parents. Major highlights of the year include the China unit and send- ing a Christmas box to a boy and girl in South America. Enclosed were gifts and necessities. The split class is a challenge for Mrs. Everson and gives her all the toe exercises she needs. The students demonstrate many talents including art, pi- ano, and singing. Mrs. Everson wants her class to grow in Christ, and to become self-disci- plined in work. She has exper- ienced eight years of service to our school, and the results are evident in the students' ability in adjusting to junior high and be- yond. by Jaylene Wisman Jennifer Curtis Derrick Fleck A time to celebrate for Krista Cusic, as she takes third place in the school spelling bee on February 20, 1987. 22 FOURTH ...A TIME TO EXPLORE As thime wears on.

The sixth grade does many things annually. Sitting in on Judge Wisman's court, touring the In- dian Ridge Prison, and traveling to Lopez and Orcas were some of the excursions they went on. Variety in activities was evident throughout the year. The sixth grade boys visited a shakemill. The math class played with computer games, and electronics oc- cured in science. A major highlight of the year was going to Camp Casey. The beach, gun implace- ments, and kite flying were enjoyable di- versions from the academic routine. The challenges of a split class causes the students to grow in their responsibil- ities. With the staff working with the se- perate groups the tendency is to want to goof off.” Yet, by the end of the year, their awareness grew of what expectations were. The realization began to sink in that this is going to help next year. John Andringa Kevin Bussard Michael Meek Seth Johnson Michael Lee TIME WAS UP for Bryan Sass as he found his last word in the annual spelling bee a little amusing. Bryan Sass Lee Snedaker You could describe the sixth grade as athletic, energetic, and enthusiastic. Corey Gott was honored by being recognized as the recipient of the Donna James Award. They have used their energy in the right way and have matured a lot. Mr. Engstrom has been teaching here for ten years. He has a personal goal to do more science activities geared to the boys. His goal for himself at our school is to continue to see his children go here. He wants to be a part of their education at school and at home. He wants to encour- age his kids to grow in their learning, and to increase in their knowledge of the Lord. by Cora Afman Corey Gott Jennifer Hansen John Millenaar Larry Roseman Michael Thuline Cameron Wheat NOT PICTURED: Lisa Timney 26 SIXTH 1 Bahia Barde Karen Boyer Kathy Boyer Cameron Burdick Jimmy Ferris Andrew Klien Andrea Sass Jeff Swan Ida Sytsma Jacob Koester Jennifer Koster Andreena Rose Amy Turpin CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE The Chapel play is a yearly thing the seventh grade performs. An- other annual happening for the seventh grade is the trip to Boeing in Ever- ett. Highlights of the year include the play and Camp Casey. Some projects the class did during the year were bake sales and selling corn for Camp Casey. A plus to having a split class is that it builds friends. A minus is that it divides the group, so that they are not united. But, the splitting of the class did not demon- strate any adverse affects. Ida Sytsma's piano playing and Bahia Bartle's singing are some of the unique talents in the seventh grade, as we wit- nessed in the Fine Arts Fair. Mrs. Rockhill, in her eighth year, has some goals for her class. They include: having a good foundation in English and developing writing skills. Mrs. Rockhill's goal for herself as a teacher at our school is to be the best grammar teacher the students ever had and another goal is to display a Christ-like image in the everyday job. by Cora Afman AS JACOB KOESTER found time for success in completing his paper flower. Bahia Bartle seems to find it a little more difficult. NOT PICTURED: Skipper Timney SEVENTH 27 EIGHTH GRADE AT THE TOP. FOR NOW Being at the top is a great feeling! Drop- ping back to the bottom isn't. For a year, the eighth grade have been the oldest in junior high. Now as they enter high school, they will be the youngest. Becoming a freshman isn't easy, and to the class of '91 it won't be any easier. As they have picked on sixth graders, they will be picked on by the high school up- perclassmen. As they threatened to throw undercassmen into the river at Camp Ca- sey, they will be threatened to be thrown by upperclassmen into the infamous pond at Camp Gilead. Going from the eighth grade into ninth grade is a big and scary step. To some, it will be a very difficult year. To others, it will be quite profitable. As the class of '91 become freshmen, we hope they remem- ber how they treated others. Good luck! After all, it is only a year! NOT PICTURED: Joe Pelanconi REMEMBER WHEN ... A man's house suddenly caught on fire. He called the fire department and said, My house is on fire, come quick! The fireman asked, Okay, how do we get there? The man replied, Oh, I thought you'd come in the red trucks.” OR There was a hearse with a coffin going up a hill. The coffin fell out, went down the hill, and crashed into a drugstore. While passing the druggist, a man popped up and said, Got anything to stop this cof- fin?” . . . THESE WERE SAID BY YOU KNOW WHO? 28 EIGHTH PROFILE The class of '91 is made up of 13 unique individuals, whose tastes range from listen- ing to Amy Grant to watching The Cosby Show on TV or going to see Back to the Future at the theater. McDonalds seems to be the hot spot to eat for the eighth grade. In asking how to get on their teachers good side, we got a lot of different re- sponses. Michelle Koster thinks you should smile a lot. Bribing your teacher is what Joe Pelanconi would do. To sum it all up, Mary Lou Kooyman says it best when she said to always have the right answer, do all your work, and to do whatever your teacher says to do. One significant milestone eighth graders look forward to is getting out of junior high and going into high school. The most fon- dest memory in junior high this class seems to have is Travis Curry. But to Travis it was FROZEN IN TIME. Gretchen Engel l'$ bemused ex- pression captures the cheerful disposition characteris- tic of her desire to help others. when they heard a story about an ugly crea- ture when Mr. Erickson walked in. And what is eighth grade without Mr. Eng- strom? BORING! When asked what joke of his was the worst, this class agreed that all of them were bad. High school is a big step. The thing Craig Shullenberg fears the most about high school is his brother. While Lori Vos fears being a freshman, Jeff Lamie fears the sen- iors. To the class of '91, we say congratula- tions for ending junior high and good luck as you enter into high school. by Cora Afman THIS TIME THE CHOICE IS OURS EIGHTH 29 HOIH nf OS ty JR. HIGH 31 _ The eighth graders find that waiting for dinner can cause a lot of hunger pain. CAMP CASEY Every year the junior high take off for three fun-filled days of Camp Casey on Whidbey Island. This year was no different. The group took classes such as creative writing, kite building, art class, etc. The had plenty of recreation times to explore the camp grounds, comb the beach- es, play basketball or soccer, ad of course, they had plenty of skateboarding. This year's speaker was John from Marysville Lutheran Breth- ern. He spoke four times and shared some neat things. He gave them a condensed version of the Ten Commandments.” Many decisions for Christ were made which hopefully will last forever. The kids loved the ex- perience and can't wait to go back next year. By: Jim Engell John Blikstad shares what Christ laid on his heart to share with the junior highers. 32 CAMP CASEY FORT CASEY The fort has seen its share of people, coming and going, and it still lives to see the next day. Gimp Casey is located on Whidbey Island which is in the beautiful Puget Sound. It is just north of Fort Casey which was to be used during World War I, but because of the invention of the airplane, the Fort be- came obsolete. Now the Fort is a state park. The camp itself is owned by Seattle Pacific Universi- ty. The grounds were used during World War I and II to train soldiers, but the camp and the fort never saw active duty. ii ...A TIME TO HAVE FUN ff Skit time proves to be an enjoyable time for the sixth graders. CAMP CASEY 33 MT. BAKER 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!” Well, the little chicken wasn't at Mt. Baker, but the stu- dents of the high school were. The weather could best be de- scribed as Snow! Snow! Snow! When the troops arrived for their annual invasion of The Firs Ski Chalet, approximately 140 inches was on the ground. With- in 24 hours 160 inches was on the ground and more was acom- ing! The group was challenged by Kent McMullen, youth pastor at Seattle First Free Methodist Church. He spoke twice to the students as a whole, and spent one on one time with several in- dividuals. Some of our activities includ- ed skiing, intertubing, pool, ping-pong, hot tubbing, table games, and search and rescue Sami Lanz, who was wounded on the inner tube run. by Jim Engell Ray York finds pleasure in a hand-packed snowball earmarked for some worthy victum. Two days with high schoolers on the mountaintop radically alters Mr. Kane- hen's facial expressions. THE FIRS CHALET The Firs' Chalet is located in Mt. Baker National Forest in Northern Washington State, sit- uated just north of the Mt. Ba- ker Ski Area. The chalet is a hu- moungous building of four sto- ries, which can accomodate over 100 people.

The following storry is purely opinion and purely funny and untrue. Any similarity to ac- tual persons or personas is pure- ly intentional. Bigfoot appeared late after- noon around suppertime. He broke in through the front door, grabbed two or three people and left. Later he felt sorry for what he did and brought the people back unharmed. The real reason why he brought them back was due to an extreme case of acid indigestion that no stomach laxative could remedy. by Todd Storry MT. BAKER 5 CAMP GILEAD Over the river, and through the woods to beloved Camp Gilead we go. Isn't that the way the song goes? Well maybe, but it is true. The trip to Camp Gil- ead is definitely a pretty sight to tiresome, weary eyes. Each year the high school packs the bus to head to Carna- tion, WA, for a 3 day retreat that leads into a 3 day weekend for Memorial Day. This year’s weather cooperated by giving us beautiful sunrays and a thunder shower. Steve Bury, of Seattle Youth for Christ, shared the impor- tance of how one views the world does affect how one un- derstands God, one's self, one's past, one's possessions, and one’s purpose for living. Recreation saw a different form of team competition this year, with a draft being held to selct teams rather than compet- ing by classes. Casual recreation included swimming, minature golfing, horseback riding, ten- nis, basketball, or plain old con- versation and enjoyning the weather. The seniors enjoyed four glo- rious years. They will miss the times spent with the school and with one another.

CAMP GILEAD 37 TIME TO START THE FINAL LEG” s many former Freshmen can attest, starting high school can be a very fright- ful event in one’s life. That did not change at all for the class of 1990, but this class came into the year with posi- tive attitudes that amazed everyone at how w'ell they blended in with rest of the high school. The class had a very positive attitude about school and being involved at school. They loved to be involved with as many school related activities as pos- sible. The more the better! The group was involved with such activities as dra- ma. soccer, basketball, and track. So as FRESHMAN, LISA VOS(R) enjoys a friendly chat with Sophomore Tanya Curry. you can see. this class has nothing against being actively involved at school. This group has a wide variety of peo- ple in it. from the studious, to the musi- cally inclined, from the jocks to the dra- matists. Many actually are more than one of these listed. The class is anxiously awaiting their Sophomore year. They have acquired many memories for themselves, for the teachers, and for the rest of the student body.

This was what many Sophomores where saying at the begin- ning of the school year this year. It is widely known that to the Sophomore, the Freshmen are still little kids and they (Sophomores) are totally grown up. There is a lot of joking and teasing be- tween the Sophomores to the Freshmen, but under that is a group of kids that really care about each other and care about others. This class has a lot of concern for their class mates and let that show to the rest of the Student Body. They won t let anyone push their class mates around and won't stand for much teasing at all. The group is very unique and enjoys living up to the standards that they have let the Student Body see. The group doesn't like blending into the wood- work of the rest of the students. The class is enjoyable to be around and fun to have fun with.They love to have a good time and like to go out of their way to have fun. They have already started to raise money for their Junior-Senior Banquet next year. They have had various sales at lunch and have raised a considerable amount of money so far.

Trendy Trivia There is an ancient saying that goes something like this: You are the clothes that you wear.” If there is truth in what is being expressed in this proverb, the trendys have left their mark on this year's fashions. Consider the following examples: red or yellow high top basketball shoes; Cyndi Lauper look a-likes; longjohns for sweats; oversized clothes, or Dad's which ever you prefer; skin-tight mid- calf pants; mini-skirts; other guys' coats (if you're a girl); and light blue denim coats with favorite radical slogan. Trends are seen in culturally accepted mannerisms such as: thumbs up; snap- ping the fingers with the wrist and keep- ing chiropractors and pharmacists in business for years; hugs for anybody and everybody regardless of sex; young bucks vying for herd superiority (other- wise known as wrestling and putting holes in portable dry-wall); and how many girls can fit in the bathroom be- fore the walls fall. by Cora Afman SOPHOMORES 41 JUNIOR Maturity in Transition” Growing up. Some like to think it happens when one turns thirteen and be- comes a teenager. Others would say that ithappcns when one turns forty and is over the hill.” To the Junior, growing up becomes a reality between the tenth and eleventh grade. There are many new responsibilities that come between the tenth and elev- enth grade: maybe a car. or maybe a new job. The Junior class is unique and dif- ferent from other classes in the past. They enjoy having fun and are unafraid to take risks. The class is good natured. They get along great together and hate fighting. They tease well, but also have learned the limits of teasing. The group continues in the stereo- type of maturity in transition. They have begun to see the great maturity leap and the responsibilities that come be- tween their Sophomore and Junior year, but also have realized that they have not reached full maturity. The group believes in learning materi- al well, rather than learning a great quan- tity of material. Some goals were set at the end of their Sophomore year. The class set a monetary goal of $700 for the Junior-Senior Banquet expenses and worked hard the whole school year at reaching the goal. The group wanted to sec how well they worked together as their Senior year, their trip, and other activities loomed over their heads. When the class listens well to each other, they see things happen. The group is full of independent thinkers and it takes a while to break those barriers, but when they do. they get things done. After the bar- riers have been broken down, the inde- pendent thinkers move on ahead as a group in unity.

The Adjustment of a Lifetime A sixteen-year old American girl made a decision in the spring of 1986 to leave the comfort of the familiar, and to join her parents, for a two year Volun- teers In Service Abroad (VISA) program at Quisqueya Christian School in Port au Prince. Haiti. Little did Beth Harris real- ize how significant that decision would be in the development of her character. Her parents, Ken and Virginia Harris, are on the faculty at Quisqueya Christian School (QCS). Her father. Ken. teaches Bible, physical education, and is a coun- selor for the students. Her mother. Vir- ginia, teaches junior sciences and high school art. Beth's class load is similar to a class load here for the junior year. She takes Bible, speech, history, accounting, French, and Physics. She also TA's for the school principal. She played on the school's basketball team, was the volley- ball team's manager, and as the picture indicates, spends time at the beach. Beth will be with her parents for their two year term, and is looking forward to her summer visit home.

DRAMA 47 ACS’ FINEST This year has been a time of change and adapting for the choral ensemble. The group started out under the direction of Mrs. Lee, but by the end of the first quarter she stepped down and Mrs. Engell took over. There were thirteen mem- bers and all of them had been working hard on the musical The Witness. They preformed in churches around the area and had a lot of fun. As Christmas neared the group worked on a cantata of classical music and they also de- cided to purchase new outfits. They traveled to Langley and sang for a ladies group there. The trip was fun and the ladies enjoyed the music. At semesters break, the group was down to eight members. They started to work on music for the Musicale in March. To help cover the cost they held an authentic Italian dinner. The choir members served as singing waiters and waitresses. It was an evening of fun for everyone. One of the songs the group sang at Musicale was Moses written by Ken Medema. Linda Dennis created some choreogra- phy for the song and put togeth- er with the words of the song, it created a powerful message that touched many lives. After Musicale, the group prepared for their spring tour. They worked up seven songs and traveled to differant schools in the area to preform. by Andy Phillips Choral Ensemble proudly shares their music with the ladies group at Langley.

The days were spent by sit- ting through endless hours of mass rehearsal, listening to other choirs preform, and meal times. On Friday afternoon a talent show was held and there were several skits, solos, small ensem- bles, and a few crazy duet num- bers. Friday night was the night that everybody had been work- ing so hard for. There was a pub- lic concert by the best choir, en- semble, soloist, and band. Then the mass band prefomed.

Some of those expectations in- clude: getting out of class, catching up on sleep, being bored to death, being enter- tained, and being challenged. Chapel has provided us with a variety of challenges in different forms. Mark Eaton exhorting us to bring our sexuality under the Lordship of Christ; CCQ re- minding us that music was cre- ated to bring glory to God; Ex- haltations showing that high schoolers can have an impact through music; our own Choral Ensemble drawing us into the worship of God; and various speakers bringing specific mes- sages geared to the needs within our student body. The elementary students were benefited by drama produc- tions, puppets, and speakers who geared the program” to the individual student needs. Though at times, if we are honest, our attitudes did not re- flect the proper adoration of God, we were changed by what we heard and saw. As Hebrews 13:15 reminds us, we need to continually offer the sacrifice of praise from the fruit of our lips, which is thanksgiving. by Todd Storry We change soci- ety hy being changed by Jesus Christ. Prior to His return to Heaven, Jesus instructed His disciples to wait until they had received power from on high. We have that same power to- day. Be God’s agents to change society. Try getting a bunch of people involved in a game by yelling and doing cheers. It's not an easy job, but the cheerleaders did a fine job. Most of the cheerleaders played on the girls' teams and had to hurry and change before the boys' games. Then, tired after playing a hard game, they had to cheer for the boys' teams. It's a thankless job, but they can be proud of them- selves. Cheerleader Tanya Curry attempts to teach the students a new cheer. 52 CHEERLEADERS Mr. and Mrs. Leonard give a lot of their time to the school.

She not only teaches P.E. and health for the high school girls, but also for the ju- nior high as well. She also teach- es bookkeeping and third grade Bible, as well as substituting for other teachers. We really appre- ciate their dedication and their hard work. Thanks!

Char Stanley shows us her “Surfin' Side. Lisa Byle reacts in disgust as shaving cream drips down her face. The cheerleaders held several pep assemblies over the course of the year. They taught the stu- dents new cheers and then got the classes involved in class competitions. The competitions were often pretty zany but they proved to be a lot of fun. For one competition, they took two members from each class. One was blindfolded and handed a squirt bottle; the other one sat in a chair and had a glob of shaving cream put on his nose. The person with the blind- fold had to shoot the shaving cream off the other person's nose. The first class to finish was the winner. By Andy Phillips CHEERLEADERS 53 For the second year in a row, the men's varsity had an excel- lent season resulting in a trip to the playoffs. Under the leader- ship of Coach Engstrom and senior co-captains Jim Engell and Bob Witheridge, the team won 7 of 8 league games and captured the North-west B” League title. The season contained several memorable moments such as ending the regular season with a 2-0 victory over Grace Academy which secured our seventh league win. Another fond mo- ment was when we clinched the league title with a 5-0 victory over Snohomish County Chris- tian. This year we were able to play on our own field in the playoffs. We hosted Bush and the stage was set for a bitter conflict. For a game that was hard fought the whole way, we drew First blood. Just a few minutes into the game, Tim Anderson scored the first goal on a penalty shot; but the celebration didn't last long. A short while later Bush scored and tied the game at 1-1. In a long, hard emotional second half, the game remained tied at the end of regulation time. Two 5-minute overtime halves were played, but the game was still tied. The game went into a shootout and Bush ended up winning 3-1. Even though the game ended in disappointment, the team still felt proud of playing a Fine game and of having a very Fine season.

Bob Witheridge did a fine job at left wing this year. He scored a few goals but also did a good job at assiting other play- ers for scores. Gary Chaney was a first year player. He had a natural ability on the soccer field and it showed. Not only was he cho- sen for the all-league team, but he was voted the most improved player by his team mates. Andy Phillips did a good job at fullback and was credited with saving several goals. He was voted most inspirational player by his team mates. By Michele Heiderer and Andy Phillips. Jim Engstrom, five-time win- ner of the Soccer Coach of the Year award, modestly claims that the winner is usually the coach whose team wins the league championship. But in reality, the winner is someone like Jim who did the most with what he had to work with. His philosophy is special and worth sharing. Soccer is more than just winning and losing games. I hope that parents real- ize that sporting events are a mi- crocosm of life - disappoint- ments, accepting authority, blessings, setbacks - you can’t give up even though you may experience injuries which may happen all at once. You learn how to see God's hand in it and strive for excellence and perfec- tion. I try to implement these thoughts in my students before graduation. I want them to win the daily battle with Satan. 1 want them to succeed everyday in their walk with the Lord.” Trusting that all things work together, and being able to bounce back are important parts of his daily philosophy. When you lose a soccer game, you are not a loser for life; just as you are not always a winner. There is always another season, another game. Even though ACS lost its first game of the League Playoffs (which eliminated the school from the rest of the playoffs), his thoughts on losing are just as upbeat. I just wanted to have a good showing - and leave the results to the Lord. I was pleased with the player’s performance. They felt a lot of disappoint- ment at the moment of losing, but felt good about their perfor- mance a few days later. They were never afraid to lose.” Goalie Jim Engell summed it up when he said, Mr. Engstrom loves to win, but doesn't love glory.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Coaching can be rewarding at times and yet it can also be very trying. Ray Leonard has coached the girls' basketball team for the past three years. He has been through both reward- ing and trying experiences. This year the girls' team only won two games, and looking at the statistics one might think that the team had a poor season. In Coach Leonard's eyes, the team had a fine season. Several goals that he set for himself as coach were to help the team improve both as a unit and as individuals. He also want- ed to help the girls improve their characters. The team set the goal of keeping their testimony Christ-like at all times and let- ting everyone know that they re- presented God at ACS. During the course of the sea- son the girls grew and showed improvement in many areas. Their skills improved with each new game and although they were losing, they never gave up. They worked together as a unit and stood up for each other. When asked what the greatest highlight of the season was, one might think of the victory over Grace Academy for the first win of the season, but Coach Leon- ard responded, The greatest highlight of the season for me was watching the girls keep their testimony and never give up even in the face of numerous defeats.” By Andy Phillips ACS 19 41 ACS 16 55 ACS 17 47 ACS 12 29 ACS 12 22 ACS 16 37 ACS 19 30 ACS 19 64 ACS 41 8 ACS 18 69 ACS 7 21 ACS 25 77 ACS 22 8 ACS 20 52 ACS 15 50 ACS 18 37 ACS 14 56 SNO-KING LOPEZ SKOYKOMISH CRESCENT MOUNTLAKE CHRISTIAN ALUMNI SNO.

Under the leadership of co-captains Dave Andringa and Andy hil- lips, we experienced the best season in the history of the school. We posted a 13-6 season and for the first time, qualified for post-season play. Coach Kanehen told us at the beginning of the season, What- ever happens in the first 3 or 4 games will be a good indication of how we will do doing the rest of the season. The games before the Christmas break will either make or break us. We went on to win the first 3 games and by the Christmas break we had posted a 6-2 record including two wins over Bremerton Chris- tian. The second win over Bremer- ton came down at Bremerton. It was their homecoming and we proved to be spoilers that even- ing. All five of the starters scored in double figures com- bining for 70 of the teams 74 points. We rolled over BCS 74- 38 and the team was at its peak. We then lost a tough game to Overlake in overtime but we re- covered by smashing Mount- lake Christian 76-49. We then won four out of the next six games and reached the playoffs. The season highlights came with the big wins over Bremer- ton and Mountlake and our first victory over the Alumni.

We had to face Friday Harbor on their court. Monday morning February 16, we piled onto the bus and headed for Friday Harbor. We knew we had our work cut out for us. They had a lot of height and a kid that could hit from long range. We were coming in not quite at full strength. Todd Storry had a bone spur on his ankle and had to sit the game out. Jim Engell had a jammed thumb and Andy Phillips had a broken thumb. We were really tight during pre-game warm-ups but by game time we had loosened up. We got off to a shaky start but managed to stay with them through the first quarter. We trailed by only four points going into the second period but then we fell apart. They outscored us 20-9 that period and we never could catch them after that even though we outscored them in the third period. Dave Andringa erupted for 26 points and Jim Engell added 14, but we lost the game 61-75. It was a disappointing loss but we had nothing to be ashamed of. We had played a decent game and had had a very fine season. By Andy Phillips BOYS BASKETBALL 59 TRACK AND FIELD Every year when spring rolls around, a bunch of committed atheletes turn out to try and make it to the state track meet in May. With weeks to prepare be- fore the first track meet, they start training for thier individual events. This year there were nine athe- letes competing in a variety of events. Three atheletes made it past the district track meet (top 4), past the tri-district meet (top 4), and on to state. All three placed at state. Those three were: Tanya Curry (placing 4th in long jump), Kathy Millenaar (placing 5th in long jump and also making pre- lims in the 100, 200, and also high jump as a freshman), and Jim Engell (placing 6th in long jump). The team is coached by Mr. Engstrom who dedicates his spring to coaching the team and driving back and forth to track meets. He does a superb job in training these young atheletes in atheletics as well as the game of life. The A.C.S Track and Field team consisted of Todd Shullenberg, Tim Anderson, Wes Perrault, Carrie Gott, Lisa Byle, Jim En- gell, Tanya Curry, Kathy Millen- aar, and Gary Chaney. By: Jim Engell ii THERE IS NO LIMITS TO THE WORD COURAGE 9f 60 TRACK AND FIELD TRACK AND FIELD 61 SENIORS From the akward beginnings of kinder- garten and learning to read in primary; through the high energy level years in up- per elementary and the crisis of puberty in junior high; and through the traumas of high school, we have finally attained our goal of graduation. We remember especially the beginning of our sophomore year when God called Donna James home. We remember our aches of loneliness at her unexpected new beginning. We recall those of our fresh- men class, who for whatever reasons, did not remain with us until graduation, but left for greener pastures. We are thankful for the new friends that came into our lives in the last four years, and have found that no matter the age, no matter the grade, a friend is indeed a friend. Teachers became human. Their faults became apparent as their armour tarnished. They became our friends, and their honesty in striving to be like Jesus encouraged us to draw closer to him. Our senior year stretched us to think beyond what we ever thought our brain cells could handle. Wrestling through world views and research projects, strug- gling through Shakespeare and Swift, and procrastinating those deadlines, all caused us to to grow in challenges we did not want to face. The fun and exhaustion of WINNIE-THE-POOH will long be trea- sured. We have become who we are because of the whos” that have entered and influ- enced our lives. May our influence in the future have the impact that we have exper- ienced these past years. Cora Afman I'm never crabby!

Graduation is made up of this and a lot more. As the end of the school year came to a close, the class of '87 was getting excited yet a little scared for this great day to arrive. Walking down the aisle with grins on their faces and tears in their eyes, the realization of it all finally hit them. They were leaving that familiar nest and going out into the world. Andy Phillips started off the evening with his valedictorian speech followed by the co-salutatorians, Jim Engell and Todd Storry. The baton was then passed on to Jason Byle, who accepted the challenge on behalf of the class of '88 to honor God in the coming year. In rememberence of Donna James, a very dear friend. Bob James was called up to hand out the diplo- mas to each graduate. Greg Kanehen, a close friend and teacher, was asked to an- nounce each name. It will not be forgot- ten by the graduates when Herbert Rich- ard Ray teddy bear York was called up to receive his diploma and he checked it just to be sure he graduated. Good going Ray! The night was summed up when Jim Engell sang to his fellow classmates, don't say good-bye, just I'll see you. Good luck to all as you go out into the future. And see you later!

Reflecting on what has already happened. What do we do now. THE FUTURE IS YET TO COME SENIORS 65 SENIORS ON VACATION CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA HERE IVE COME!! The senior trip is always a memorable time for the seniors and this year was no excep- tion. They started off on their journey at five o'clock on a Saturday morning. Destination: California. After many long hours of riding the Gus Bus”, and end- less games of Uno and Trival Pursuit, the class had finally arrived! While they were there, they enjoyed days at Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland. They took a tour of Universal Studios and talked to Kitt, the car from Knight Rider.” They walked along the streets of Hollywood and Ro- deo Drive in Beverly Hills. They also went on Kathy’s Tours” of Beverly Hills to look at the stars homes. Then they headed for San Francisco and went over the Gold- en Gate Bridge, where they threatened to throw Tim Anderson off of. Not only was the trip for fun, but it was also for spiritual benefit. While in Califor- nia, the seniors did a chapel for an elemen- tary school in East Los Angeles. It won't be forgotten how the faces of each child shined as they did the chapel. Also, each night before going to sleep, each senior had a passage from Phillipians to share a devotion on. As the trip came to an end, the seniors recalled all the fun they had. Remember- ing all the shaving cream fights, how a few people wimped out” from going on Montezuma’s Revenge at Knott's Berry Farm, and how Maureen Shaw stashed from going on Montezuma’s Revenge at Knott’s Berry Farm, and how Maureen Shaw stashed cards while playing Uno. The sounds of Happy Trails to You” will echo in our ears for many years to come. By: Cora Afman 66 SENIORS CANADA CANADA BOUND In the beginning of February, I went on a ten day trip to Three Hills, Alberta with Rebecca Bray and her family. We took a twenty-four hour trip through the Canadi- an Rockies to the plains of Calgary. Many interesting and memorial experiences took place while we were there. For exam- ple, while trying to get a cab, a strange man walked up to me and gave me a tract. We rented a car and drove it up to Three Hills. While we were there, we AUSTRALIA G’DAY, MATES' Graduation gifts come in all shapes and sizes. But for Gary Chaney it was quite a surprise! His parents sent him on a two week vacation to Australia. For him, it was an experience of a lifetime! After spending about 17 hours on a crowded 747, he landed in Sydney. Sydney is a huge city on the south eastern coast of Australia. According to Gary, there are a lot of things to do and places to see. This includes a huge zoo across the harbour from the city where you can walk for miles before you have seen anything. In Sydney, there is also a park where you can pet and feed koalas and kanga- roos. About two hours away from the city, there is a mountain range called the Blue Mountains which are very beautiful. May marks the coming of winter in Australia, yet the weather was warm but cloudy off and on. Clothes are expensive, but in general prices are the same as in America. The people there are nice and and hospitable yet they view Americans as being arrogant. It was a memorable time for Gary and he is grateful for the opportunity to go there. By: Cora Afman stayed at Prairie Bible Institiute and at- tended Youth Quest 1987. The town is about equal to Oso. There aren't very many sights. The train trip home was eventful. There was a girl on the train who got herself kicked off. We also met an Australian man who I still am keeping in touch with. It was a very interesting trip, and I am glad I got the chance to go. by Marianne Van Klaveren SENIORS 67 THERE IS NO TURNING BACK. Every year I am privileged to experience the joys and sorrows of growing friendships and departing family”. This year is no exception. To have received love is grace. To have shared love is hope. To have taught love is faith. I have witnessed your dreams crumble, your aspirations fail, and your ultimate goal about to be acheived: that of graduation. I have cried with you, yelled at you, laughed with you, and have sweated at your side; yet never did I feel unloved by you. I have pushed you beyond what you felt was reasonable, stretched you beyond what you believed was thinkable, and provoked you to become what you are meant to be: a soldier of the army of Christ. Life's greatest challenge, to paraphrase the words of C.S. Lewis, is to learn how to dance in obedience to God's desires for you. To allow God to lead you in The Great Dance, is to experience the peace and harmony that each of you desire, but not necessarily want to attain because of the high cost of sacrifical self-denial. My greatest joy has been to see the transformation of those of you who were icy glaciers of self-centered resistance when I first met you, into laughing brooks of self-acceptance. To behold the spring thaw of God’s love in melting you into rivers of delight, streams of spiritual freedom, demonstrated in the easy-going laughter of vessels of living water, has done for me more than all the academic suc- cesses. For it is in living for Jesus that the reality of life is evident, not in the applauses of men. You have yearned for independence and freedom from institutional rules. That time has come. You have traded the refuge of being protected in spite of your actions for the risks of being responsible for your actions. In the eys of society, this institution has declared you are no longer children. As declared responsible adults, come the accompanying societal expectations of maturity. Assignment deadlines now become bill payments. Attendance policies now become matters of job security. Unspoken requests for relationship problems now become personal conflicts that you alone will have to solve. Pastors and teachers won’t be readily available to give spiritual answers, you must find those answers in personal time of Bible study. Friendships will come and go as the tides come and go. New friendships, maintaining old ones, developing the match for life” one, all of these require looking ahead to the author and pioneer of our faith, Jesus Christ. Friends, brothers, and sisters, remember, I do love you, and there is no turning back.

Andy Phillips and Bob Witheridge contributed much to the good times of this fabulous bunch. The only others are David Epperson and Karla Salsbury That remain from that super group so merry ! To you 1 say, May God richly bless you! Stay close to Him and seek His guidance too. Cora Afman, Gary Chaney, and Chris Snedaker, You came our way and not much better could occur!
