No, no, no! Guess again! Rhonda Wade scribbles frantically for her piction- ary team at the Sunset Lake Mountain Out¬ ing. ' ' Leaf me alone! exclaims Caz Weath¬ erford as she gets ' leafed ' by Candi Eaton, Becky Starner, Darrin Bartell, Kevin Davis, Penny Stroh, and Andrea Mullin. Don ' t believe it! Tonya Geschke tries to convince Sam Knauft, Andy Hesseltine, and Kendra Heffel that Camp Casey really is Dan Quayle ' s private resort! Feel it! THE BEAT. The sounds of growth, progress, life. Feel it. Hear it. Grasp it. Know its rhythm; feel its pulsating throb. THE BEAT. How did we feel the beat? We became involved. We gave of ourselves as we worked, learned and played together. We felt the beat renew itself at registration when new students merged with the old to form the nucleus of our school; we felt it fortify itself when students and teachers worshipped and shared together. THE BEAT. It traveled with us the entire year. It followed our ups and downs, our achieve¬ ments and failures. Excitement rose as field trips, tours and parties came and went. It soared to breath-taking heights as banquets approached. The once-smooth beat turned frenzied as tests and mid-terms neared— and nearly went off the chart when the word FINALS became part of our vocabulary! THE BEAT. America felt the beat as we shot into space with the successful launching of the Discovery, and again whe n the U.S. walked away with 97 medals in the summer Olympics. Presidential elections and the Washington State Centennial also contribut¬ ed to the never-ending rhythm. THE BEAT. Leave your seat as spectator and feel the beat pound through your memories. Hear it as you recapture the sparkling laugh¬ ter of enjoyment and the groans of test week. Listen! The beat continues . . . Feel the beat 3

Make ’em or break ’em” McLean!! They really didn ' t know what to expect when they walked into Elder McLean ' s class¬ room on that first day of school as Seniors. They had heard about those MONSTER tests and LONG memory verses. But what had only once been Junior im agination was now transformed into Senior realization. Need extra credit? Try McLean ' s simple little diet! You only need to drink eight glass¬ es of water a day (and stand in line for the bathroom!), sleep eight hours a night, do deep breathing exercises, do physical exer¬ cises half an hour each day, take a cold shower every morning, limit sweets and eat in moderation. Easy! Anyone can handle that—but for four weeks??! Another catastrophic event was McLean ' s first major test given to the Seniors early in September. Phrases like IT WAS SIX PAGES LONG! and ” know I ' m failing Senior Bible were bemoaned by the Seniors throughtout the day. I loved it! Mike McDonald stated. I got a ' 62!! Elder McLean hasn ' t just been the Senior Bible teacher to our school, but he ' s also been a friend and given counsel when some¬ body needed it . . . not only Seniors, but to the entire school. He sums it all up by deliver¬ ing his teaching philosophy: Without God, you can ' t really do much of anything! —A. Wang McLean ' s diet 5
