Co Editors Brian Ear and Valerie Siavik CLOSING ,,,,,,,,,, - P, Advisor Diana Lee Pieper AT FIRST IT WAS A PUZZLE Big, small, new, old, All parts to a puzzle whose pieces are yet to be told, Faces, places, things to be done, All about, everywhere, filling its place one by one. No one knew quite what to expect when they found themselves on campus September 3, 1980, the beginning of a new school year. At first it was a great puzzle, scattered, unhnished, awaitng to be assembled. The Fine Arts Building, a puzzle in itself, met us at first glance. It was yet uncompleted, but slowly and carefully being put together to signal a new phase in Benicia High history. As the BHS population watched the building come together, many people pondered uncertain answers to difhcult questions, llWiIl I ht? , 'l Will I be accepted? , but knew they had to overcome their fear in an attempt to make that year one to be remembered by all. New things awaited everyone, things that helped, things that confused, things that added to the search for comfortable spaces. The faculty consisted of familiar smiles-security, and new faces, also smile bound-positive ambitions. The Hrst bell rang at 8:10, signalling a new time schedule. At first it was a bit confusing, but slowly it became an everyday part of student life. Finding their classes, students assembled, joining in friendships, abilities, and experiences to form another portion of what was a mixed up jumble. For during those beginning days, weeks, months, it was a puzzle to us all. 2Th ' ! fffiwiil.. HISIWWHQ lm- i ' .

Students still found it difficult to get to that first class on time! 2 4 . , 5 X . it tialmsiwr U... teena ,Wt vMQwJvowso sQXm91zw6e So many questions lingered in the air as the 1980-81 student body stampeded through the doors of the gym on Arena Day. I'What classes should I take? , iiWhich teacher would I prefer? , 'IWill I get a good locker? The millions of things to be taken care of, and people to exchange experiences with, 'made us aware of both the work and fun that lie ahead. 5 ts No matter where we turned, we found ourselves in an endless line. With the increased population of the school, every spot was filled to capacity. Everyone was a bit overwhelmed by the ' ongoing events, but all were verymuch a part of the overall picture. Each of us taxed our memory to limit, in an attempt to remember all they tried to understand why Tuesdays and Thursdays consisted of only three classes. Eighty- live minutes seemed like an unbearably long time. Little did they know that the clock's hands would turn far too fast to the end of their high school years. Over all the confusion, the- faculty watched, patiently guiding the not-so-patient, as they endeavored to the essentials. The new time schedule was the worst of all. Bewildered Freshmen stood in awe as BIT AD gather, remember, and exchange the bits and pieces surrounding them on that first memorable day PIECES Theme 5 COMI G TOGETHER Things and people started corning together. Faces met faces, new and not-so-new students encountered new and not-so-new faculty. Everyone and everything was getting together to form one cooperative unit. It is said that there is strength in numbers, and the strength aquired by the togetherness of the student body was phenomenal.

Novel and traditional plans overjoyed everyone. There were so many things to become involved in that schedules soon became overcrowded, and many were forced to chose priorities. As a result of this decision, several students could be seen consulting with teachers to strengthen their knowlege and produce good grades. Some became very active in extra-curricular activities such as sports or membership in one of the many clubs offered. Still, others chose to attempt all or none. Whatever course was chosen, students found that everyone was essential in completing the puzzle, and had his or her own set of responsibilities and duties to uphold. 4 5 2 7 -.,-.6 tl gf' 'Eva ,I W if' X5 lfljXQKXQk , X55 ami ggwxmg 'tm ww xml kms qua.

Friendship served as an encouraging force to those who were yet not quite ready to confront school, and the pressures it would exert. Students often gathered together to relieve the tensions that existed. Laughter and ever-constant chatter was a usual and welcome occurrance throughout the school. The hallways, Cafeteria , quad, and even classrooms served as rendezvous sites for longtime and newly established friendships, where interlocking personalities produced conversations on all topics. Personalities linked for many purposes, Along with established friendships, scholarship brought those with similar abilities together to create new relationships. Students collaborated in class projects, discussion, and activities with impressive results. Rallies, with their class competitions, served as other sites for students to unite and display the tremenous force they could produce as one. Ideas and enthusiasm were exchanged, as new yells rang throughout the school and posters proclaimed spirit. Everyone began to realize that in joining their feelings, talents, and personalities, they could accomplish anything. The student body was stronger-than ever, for it was continually gathering force as everyone made a permanent spot for his or herself in the social sphere of Benicia High. ' Theme - 9 ODD A DE D... Pieces, not yet placed were to be found waiting patiently all about. Unfinished buildings, temporary classroom facilities, students once again trying to get back into the old routine, each on the verge of filling his or her own space, but as yet not properly shaped. Fear, anxiety, and apprehension squeezed themselves into every vacant spot, troubling everyone from unsure Freshmen to experienced Seniors, but diminished slowly into a non-existant force. Well established in the confusing puzzle of school life, called to peers yet unplaced to form an eternal bond. This union to last long after graduation ceremonies. 10 - Theme School life was puzzling. Freedom was yearned, yet we all sought to be a part of the fun, confusion, and adventure. We were individuals even as our minds interlocked with others. Few wanted to be left out. Piece by piece each fell into its place, some immediately, some after long periods of inner search and outer exploration. Buildings neared completion, and books became a part of everday life. Odds and ends built upon one another toward a goal of unity. U! 1 rniz-.. .ff 1. Students patiently awaiting the new portables. 2. Scraps that would make up the new drama facility. 3.

'Thank God it's Friday was a popular phrase used on that long, drawn out day of the week by students, and teachers alike. Whether it was Friday or not, that last bell of the day was our green light signalling our go-ahead to our own personal lives. Any free time away from school and homework was usually spent 'lwisely by most students. Santa Cruz and Stinson were frequented beaches, where a couple, or a cluster of close friends, could spend a beautiful day. Roller skating was a popular new pastime in Benicia, while the city pool never lost its popularity on hot days. The city and state parks provided comfortable atmospheres where people 'lkick-back and relax or toss around a frisbee. Restaurants, fast food chains, and snack shops all were within our reach when we got an incurable case of the Hmunchiesf' The good times passed quickly and soon we were back in school thinking about our past activities and planning new ones for the days to come. va-V, 5 A sf 4113- Q ,. up 'Jr , ' ,N fyhrll igl vw'-4 1, -1, J -i, CW' Ja A ' ' - je?

Efforts and ideas came together as the excitement continued to grow. The long awaited Fridays finally arrived. w 3 Long and hard football practices merged into games. Students gathered at the various sights to enjoy the spirited rallies. Hardships, for a time, were forgotten as we united in hopes and lifted spirits high enough to cheer on another heart aching effort, victory. RALLIES . 19 1980 HOMECOMI G PARADE A new addition to Homecoming this year was the return of a parade down Main Street in Benicia. The parade was arranged by the Student Council and consisted of floats prepared by each class, the six Homecoming queen candidates, the BHS Marching Band and auxiliary, and the 1980 Pep Squad. The parade began at D and First Street and continued up the street to its destination in front of the police station where everyone disembarked. The Freshman class float was the winner of the competition with their theme of Benicia High School goes HoIlywood.

The dull look of the 50's and ordinary clash days were replaced by the bright colors of Punk Rock, Surfin' Safari, BHS goes Hollywood, our annual Spirit Day, and Goin' Hawaiian. lVlonday took a sharp turn around. Instead of seeing long faces and tired expressions, 'lPunkrockers hit the halls of BHS. Leather glitter, and leopard skins dominated the scene signaling the opening of an unusual and exciting week. Next we found ourselves on an imaginary beach located on the very real BHS campus, l'Surhn' Safari was the fad for the day. Goggles, fiippers, and surfboards were essentials for the fun. Wearing our beach clothes, we gathered in the quad to compete in our first lunch activity, the toilet paper wrapping contest. Each class was represented by two contestants, one person being the wrapper and one person being the wrappee. Though the competition was fierce, the sophmores proved unbeatable as they wrapped up the day with one big point for the class of 't83 . Then, the stars of Hollywood came for a day of glamor and excitement. The autograph seekers and fans were !W? S'n 'B ' ' . ' , 7 l ei, U 7 ' P' thrilled to see such greats as Charlie Chaplin, lVlarylin lVlonrow, and the loveable Nlork from Ork. These stars had box seats to see the Juniors win the tug-of-war competition as they chalked up one big point for the class of 82. Panther pride was then put to the test, for Spirit Day had arrived, Blue and Gold could be seen everywhere proving that our Spirit was higher than ever. Our enthusiasm overfiowed through the lunch time activity as the tender handed Freshmen won the egg toss competition, an accomplishment prized by lower classmen.

Our colorful shirts and grass skirts released our hidden Hawaiian spirits. The wild goose chase was the last of the class competitions. After running wild around the school, the Senior class, with their skills at fuguring out thetricky clues, managed their Hrst victory. After the class competitions, the Pep Squad entertained us with their Hawaiin rally, but that was still not the end. After the rally, we found ourselves on lVlain Street watching the parade where our class floats showed another part of all the pieces of our Spirit! As the last fioat passed by, people scattered in their own directions until the evening where people came together again to cheer for our football teams and the Homecoming candidates. When it was all over, lights out, gates locked, we had passed a memorable period in our school days. 1. Beautiful Benicia hula girls gather around the phone for a small chat. 2.

As the school changed and experienced growth pains, the officers decided it was time for transition, a move to new phases of high school life. The addition of the lighting system on the football field prompted a larger number of Friday night football fans to turn off their lights at home and attend the exciting Panther Football games. The thrills and pressures of the games drove the hungry audience to the new concession stand for delicious hot dogs, refreshing soda pops, and calorie filled junk foods. The prohts made at the gates and the concession stand added to the student body revenue. Homecoming was a major project for add to the the Student Council as a new approach ,213 . was taken. Class floats were once again brought back to BHS, after a three year ' interval. A parade took place on Homecoming day, with the band outhtted in their sparkling sharp uniforms, the cheerleaders and song girls, dressed in their spirited blue and gold skirts and sweaters. The Homecoming Queen candidates, formaly attired, and the labored on class floats manuevered a path up Main Street to the emjoyment of the students and community. The number of Homecoming Queen candidates was raised from three finalists to six, allowing more participation and excitement in the BHS Homecoming festivities. 28 . STUDENT COUNCIL ,As a dedicated ada-rg F ...f-,,...... After Homecoming, the Student Council turned their involvement towards activities and events that focused on more over all student interest, participation, and service.

Brian Earp and Valerie Slavik had already met and discussed the plans for the yearbook and wanted to get started right then. Several summer meetings took place where creative ideas were discussed, considered, then, thrown out. It wasn't until the entire staff met early in September that things began to stick together and grow, After many brainstorming sessions, the staff grew frustrated, confused, they were puzzled. Alas the theme was born, 'lPuzzles. With all the changes and additions to BHS, it was the staffs responsibility to put all the pieces together for memories' sake. '-nv-'i uy,,,,,..

Between the on- campus paper, the Panther Press and the Panther page in the Benicia Herald, they printed top-notch articles week after week. With liTrippy Pete Riley at the head of the pack, 'iRiley's Renagades never failed to turn out an informative newspaper. Always being on top of the next story before it happened is a journalist's job and the 1980-81 class did that job well. Future Panther journalism classes are likely to enjoy full production, inclass, of a standard high schoolsize newspaper to supplement the Wednesday HPanther Page of the Benicia Herald. By 1982 the Journalism class will have its own camera and film. Additional funds in the offing would allow the staff to lay out standard-size .V wi pages, with ads, for printing to be done locally or by a new campus press. Headlines such as uSoccer is at BHS and tlBack to School ... a smasher informed everyone of past and present activities. Though this year's class could not benefit from mentioned advancement, they kept us informed on important issues that effected us during the school year. The following people contributed to the news articles:Wheeler Baker, Penny Christeporelos, Curtis HTC Coats, Lex Hatield, Liz Heinritz, Lori Henry, Vince Isom, lVlay Lim, Tom lVlcClusky, Susan Parker.

The hfty-piece band under the leadership of Drum Major Steve Holl, worked hard toward creating newer and more interesting routines for half-time entertainment. Fund Raisers were also held by band members to provide funds for their annual spring tour. As in the past, the Panther Band provided background music for Student Body rallies. After football season, the musicians prepared themselves for their annual winter and spring concert tours. Guided by lVlr. Dalt Williams, they worked their way through their repertoire for their formal performances. Those who attended the concerts were treated to pleasant evening sounds of music, which were held in the new Performing Arts Building. at -,Ag H 0868 fa Band ' 35 ANTHER AUXILL RY FL G The 1980-81 Panther Auxillary showed much improvement in their skills during the parades and held shows. They performed more halftime shows in a exe 1 l shorter period of preparation time, which in itself is quite an x accomplishment for all the squads. The Auxiliary contained Tall Flags, Nlajorettes, Letter carriers, and for the first time Rifie carriers. Each outstanding group of girls worked hard at learning and performing the numerous routines they created.

Each Jazz group could be heard four days a week, preparing for their concerts. In class they learned new songs, recorded the songs which they had perfected, and listened to other groups for clues to improve their own style. With great ambition and dedication, the two groups sold many 'xDakin Stufted Animals to pay for their Reno Tour.

Gathering in Sacramento, the girls found their abilities put to test. As they learned and worked, the four days seemed to Hy by as the end of camp came. But the pep- squad returned home with more than memories. The varsity cheerleaders were awarded a superior trophy and all the superior ribbons possible. The junior varsity cheerleaders were also given high rating ribbons. The pom pom squad received excellent and superior ribbons. The mascots were awarded a spirit certihcate along with high rating ribbons. The pom pom and cheerleading squads together received the spirit stick to take home. School began and the Panther football season started. Motivating the crowd under the new lights, the spirit released by the crowds sent the team off to a winning season, As the football season ended, the pep-squad brought forth more spirit, this time t.o cheer on the Panther basketball team, The Rio Vista tournament opened the season and the pep-squad faithfully supported the Panthers to a third place standing. The squad returned with the spirit trophy awarded to only one group out of eight other schools. The league games started, and rooting for both the girls and boys teams, the pep-squad led the Panther packs to another winning season. Spring came and new sports began. The pep-squads' days were hlled attending and supporting baseball, track, swimming, and girls' softball teams. The enthusiasm continued, and the school year came to an end, but the spirit created by this year's pep-squad would carry on for the years to follow. The year had been filled with frustrations, worries, the thrills of winning, and the disappointments of losing. The long, hard practices of creating and learning paid off each time the school gathered at the rallies and games and the school united with spirit. The responsability and leadership, sometimes unappreciated, but through all the tolerance and exasperation, the pep- squad had fun and good times together that will always be remembered. 40-Pep Squad X If f Ng- 8 pf , BH PEP CLUB 'fs M., LJ PEP SQUAD MEMBERS Varsity Cheerleaders: l-lead, Colleen Murphy Robynn Thornton, Lori Henry, Betsy Brom, Shanette Mclildery.

Pep Squad-41 The 1981 Pep Club started out with a big cheer. Although the club was not organized until December, the pep club was a big help in assisting the pep squad at all of the basketball games. There were many girls who came to the games to cheer for the Mighty Panthers, Spirit was the key word to making the club a sucess. Cheering. making posters and just enjoying themselves supported the Student Body tremendously. ln order to become a member of the Pep Club, students had to maintain a 2.00 grade average, and have a positive attitude. Here are two of their favorite cheers: Panthers won't stop Won't stop till we get enough Hey! Raise that score Blue-Gold We want more Panthers show your stuff Cause enough is enough get tough!! There's nothing like it when we unite we'll put it together we'll ignite Getting it together, Hey! . . . Can't you see? Unity leads to a VICTORY!!! 42'Pep Club BH PEP CLUB .Z Vw-'HJ .

Through the years members have participated in numerous civic enterprises. At school the club often provides a scholarship and assists in other functions to help the athlete. Funds from the girls' basketball team purchased the Golden Globe Award which is presented annually to the outstanding athlete, male or female, who shows the greatest excellence and promise in athletics, scholarship and leadership. This year showed the initial offer to establish a Benicia High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Selections were announced in February honoring outstanding local athletes many of whom still reside locally. The Block B is set up through its constitution to support athletics in such areas as providing a lVlost Valuable Player blanket when the old ones are filled with names, holding a barbeque for members, coaches and parents, donating athletic championship blankets, help in expenses for coaches yearly league meetings, and provide financial aid. lVleetings are held each week. If any sport needs help they contact Block B. Block B is only as effective in helping athletes at Benicia High as the athletes are who show interest in supporting this club. 1.

All-in-all, anyone who has not had the 48 - Backpacking opportunity to backpack in beautiful country might very well judge backpacking to be akin to what someone once said of running marathons: HI do it because it feels so good when I stop. So why are the backpackers in these pictures smiling? Backpacking offers obvious attractions: a chance to let go, to be away from the dirty air, the asphalt, the people, the hassles of civilation. There are shared moments of fleeting beautye sunlight slanting through the top branches of a redwood forest, the high, clear, cold stars making the night alive with their luminescence, the quick, barely glimpsed white flick of a deer's tail disappearing around the bend of the trail. There are the lures of snow-fed streams, of enchanted lakes in the high country. There are the shared experences around the Hickering campnre. There is the sense of G comaraderie, of belonging. As alluring as these backpacking benehts are, though, perhaps they do not compare to what can happen to the backpacker within. Backpacking builds character. It offers a challange. It gives the opportunity to reach down inside and come up with an acknowledgement and acceptance of one's self, a chance to feel good about who one is and where one is going. And so, if you would like to find out who you really are, become a backpacker. You'll have a chance to find out who you are, and you'll do it in beautiful surroundings- Yosemite, The Desolation Wilderness, Kennedy lVleadows, Big Basin .. . .

Having a job provided an opportunity to earn money, learn responsibility, and build skills. Work Experience was a class that met once a week, and was offered to the working student. The class, instructed by lVlr. Ken Hagar, taught how to relate with other employees through lessons in self-confidence. Work habits like dress, grooming, punctuality, and dependability were stressed, The many things learned by the students were used in order to solve problems, and understand the job market.

E I3 Work Experience-53 ATIO AL HO OR SOCIETY Scholarship, leadership, character, and service were criteria for membership to the Benicia Chapter of the National Honor Society. High academic standing was emphasised, and duly earned recognition received. Students had to meet certain requirements: A 3.0 or higher grade point average for three consecutive semesters, a college preparatory school schedule, and three to four teacher recommendations. Accomplishments of which they could be proud. Plans were made for the 15th Annual Honor Society Reception. Seniors were to lead the procession and received gold cords to distinguish their successful school efforts. These cords were to be worn again at the graduation excercises for all to see. Speechs were given on the qualities strived for by all Honor Society members, Valerie Slavik spoke on scholarship, Nlark Higginbothom on leadership, Terri lVlorasi on character, Brian Earp on service, and Diane Robbins on the future. Several fund raising efforts were made by club members. A car wash and bake sale set off the successful year. Plans were also made for a major money maker. Ways to spend this money were carefully set-up. Service projects were discussed, as well as fun activities, displaying the enthusiasm felt by all the members. The Honor Society contributed to the school by hosting the 3 54-Honor Society Awards Night Ceremony, and helped advertise Back to School Night by hanging posters at local business establishments. Other service projects were also planned and followed through, The club's advisor, lVlr. James Langaas oversaw these students in their endeavors. He worked closely with club officers Valerie Slavik-President, Vicky Cruz-Vice-President, Judy Bursby- Treasurer, Diane Robbins-Secretary, and lVlark Higginbotham-Student Council Representative, to complete a successful year.

PA THER 1980-8 This year, the 4th annual Mr. Panther program resembled Homecoming with a turnabout. School involvement, academics, and personalities were all taken into consideration in order for the Senior girls to select their nominees for Mr. Panther. When the counting of the ballots was completed, the seven Mr. Panther candidates were announced to the entire school. After a week of candidate campaigning, or so called Hgetting to HIS voter , the entire student body was given the chance to determine who should be Mr. Panther. There was a lot of uneasiness in everyone's mind because Mr. Panther and his runners up were to be announced on a later date at the Mr. Panther dance, sponsored by 1980-81 Yearbook Staff. Music was provided by D.T.L. CJAMS INC.l. At the Mr. Panther dance, the candidates and their escorts mingled among friends and curious crowds of people who wanted to know who wont They were all soon to find out. When the D.J.'s took their break, Mary Monzon and Vicki Cruz took over the stage, and the spotlights were set in front of the stage. The candidates and their escorts appeared in front of the stage one by one while Mary and Vicki read a brief OO-Mr. Panther history of each. Valerie Slavik, yearbook co-editor, presented certificates to candidates: Brian Earp, Steve Holl, Brian Smith, and Alan Murphy, runner- up Mr. Panther nominees. The three remaining candidates, not to mention the entire building of people, were even more excited when Rod Ribero, 2nd runner up, and Russ Mclieever. lst runner up, were announced. Mike Gutierrez, Mr. Panther, was presented with a trophy donated by the Yearbook Staff. The Mr. Panther celebration was considered both well planned and successful.

Dr. James Down, a professional hypnotist, left the students in awe by performing incredible feats. Dr. Downs would first place audience volunteers in deep hypnosis. After this has been completed, the students are under the doctor's power. By his command, they could laugh hysterically, forget their name, and even imagine ants crawling all over their bodies. But, his most stunning trick was when a 110 pound girl held a 195 pound boy. Dr. Downs ordered the girl to become as rigid as a piece of steel and then she was placed between two chairs. The boy then was helped up on top of the girl's stomach. Even with screams of uneasiness from the audience. the trick was successfully performed in both performances, with no injuries. Jack Valentine visited lVlr. Houser's Chemistry and Physics classes to speak about energy and its uses today and in the future. He demonstrated how solar energy can beneht the home. .LA At-cnnmhlinc State Congressman Vic Fazio also visited the school this year under the request of social science department head Bob lVlaharry. lVlr. Fazio answered questions asked by students. The students learned how bills are passed by Congress, and many other facets of governmental process. The Congressman also answered questions about personal stands on abortion, etc., answering them with enthusiasm and interest of the students. One afternoon, BHS was treated in a performance by the Ashland Players from Oregon. They performed skits from different plays of modern and older times. These different skits were mostly comedies, keeping the student's spirits high. The assemblies and speakers gave the students a break from the ordinary class schedule. Even though it breaks the momentum of the class itself, it gives the students a better understanding of education through observations and questions. BE 1.

Benicia High's attempts at satisfying these scholastic needs offered both challenges and rewards to its students. It's curriculum included several advanced courses in Mathematics, English, and Science providing assets new and old, concepts for students on all levels, Several new challenges were offered during the 1980-81 school year such as Calculas, Basic Language CComputer Programmingl, Photography, Costume Design and Carpentry. Students were able to develop and strengthen their interests in many areas. Survival opportunities were also offered as recognition for accomplishments Students Brian Earp and Valerie Slavik were chosen by the American Legion as 6D'ACEiCiElTTlCS Girls' and Boys' State delegates to represent BHS at a week long state wide conference on Government. During this time they were given the opportunity to learn through practical experience. They were able to run for ofhces and serve for a short term as lVlayor, Senator, or other ofhces on the local, county or state level. Academic Decathalon- the first Solano County Academic Decathalon took place November 15, 1980, at Vacaville High School, sponsered by Solano Industries for Academic Excellence and the Solano County office of Education, Teams competed in ten academic catagories. Benicia Varsity team members were. Dennis Gosser and John Mabry, Scholastic Steacv Rowland and Chris Stanfill- Honor Wheeler Baker and Pam Parr. Top scorer, county wide for formal speech was John lVlabry. High Scorer overall was Wheeler Baker for the Benicia Team. lVlr. Houser challenged his science classes with interesting and challenging experiments of all sorts. While Science and Chemistry classes learned about chemicals and their properties, his Phisics class found themselves in competition, demonstrating their new knowledge of vector forces by constructing bridges out of toothpiclcs. A bit unusual, yes, but with extraordinary results! The winning model was constructed by Eric Railsbaclc with a capability of 118 pounds, 1460 times it's own weight!

But with all the serious learning to be absorbed comes the not so serious events. Those dress-up days were always fun to enjoy, Some costumes were so outragious, no one can tell who is behind the make-up. Even the teachers got into the act, because it made any ordinary day so ditterent. Having arts and crafts in our curriculum gave the students an opportunity to show their talents in the held. The devotion and imagination that each student put into their project showed their inner most thoughts. The most outstanding project usually endedeup in a glass display case for all to see.

Many faces and places came into our everyday life through the media and conversation. The assassination of John Lennon left many Beatle fans in despair.

Any kind of Beatle reunion was now shot into total oblivion. lVlount St. Helens blew smoke and ashes for miles leaving Washington citizens in horror.

HGolden Boy Eric Helden, skated his way into the hearts of Americans as he raced on to live gold medals in five speed skating competitions at Lake Placid in the Winter Olympics. Autullah Ruhollah Khomeini became a hated person, an object by the American people because of his part in the Iranian-American hostage crisis. HThe Empire Strikes Back, sequel to HStar Wars, was one of the biggest movie hits of 1980. The movie's fantastic special effects and creative costume design made it a unique and special movie. i'Dallas star JR Ewing fLarry Hagmanl, survived the assasination attempt by his wife's sister.

The i'Tantrum Kid John lVlacEnroe, came back to defeat Bjorn Borg in the finals of the US Open, after losing to Borg in the crucial Wimbledon finals.

New football lights, new uniforms and a new coach all added to their successfulness. A good feeling was in the air from the first day, where the team and coaches made a committment to work hard and dedicate themselves to winning, The team was obviously in top condition, not to say they didn't pay the price.

Season highlights include a convincing victory over Justin in the second round to average an early, unexpected loss and a runaway victory at John Swett during which a referee threatened to clear the gym of spectators. The Panthers worked incredibly hard for their victories. Practice started at 6:00 in the morning and the team was on the court sprinting baselines, while most Benician's were still in bed. Taking advantage of the teams talent, they ran a complicated offense utilizing all six players on the court as hitters. The varsity adapted to the oftense quickly, and practiced with dedication, and played with intensity to post their six and six season. The panther victories were truly team effort with each player contributing their own special strength. Senior Captains were Regina Lindsay and Christy Moore. They were consistent power hitters for the panthers who we will surely miss next year. Regina had an uncanny sense of being in the right place at the right time and Christy doubled as setter, skillfully feeding balls to other hard hitting panthers. The majority of this years team were juniors. Leona Flores was a calm, tough server who gave nothing away as a hitter.

Pl Wrestling-87 Soccer, considered by many to be the world's most popular sport, is the fastest growing sport in America today. Most of the credit goes to an individual who almost single-handedly brought millions of spectators to the stadiums and players to the field. His real name is Edson Arantes de Naxcimento. lVlost people recognize him by the nickname Pele. First let us go back even before Pele's time, and examine the origin and history of the sport. It all started when English sailors would have a keep away game with a group of different sailors for amusement and active excercise after arriving in a port. A leather ball with an inflated cow bladder was often used in the keep away game. When desperate, one team member would kick the ball rather than throw it, so a rule was made that specifically states that no hands were allowed to make contact with the ball during the game. Playing 'lfootball or as we call it now soccer, was rough on dirt roads and streets, so the game was moved to a grass field on which goals were set up. A group of people wrote down the rules that stated the size of the playing held and goals. At hrst there was no time limit, so the game was played until one team scored. Scoring would have taken days so it was agreed that playing one and a half hours was sufiicient, There would be a short intermission at the halfway point of the game. To make it more of a challenge, one person on each team was allowed to use his hands. This person would be referred to as the goalie. He wears a completely different uniform so that the players are not confused as to who can't use their hands. Today we have all of the soccer teams in the world following the rules set by FIFA lFederation International Footballl. In most countries the translated word for soccer would be football. Soccer was a newly added sport to the extracurricular activities of our school. It was accepted to the fullest extent with many students participating. Our team was young and full of energy SQCCER AN EXCEPTIO A mp-11,-Y we-V ,rv--T-yr - - 11- - 'U?yIv t., are .il Civ F' 88 - Soccer 5 DDITIU TO ' if -Q V 'ftgiaf A tae. I if A.

Mr. John Jacobs was our wise and experienced coach. He first played soccer in Italy, but started his coaching career in the Los Angeles area. The practices were devoted to learning the basic skills of soccer which includes trapping, charging, and ball control. The players had an open mind which is essential in putting a team together. Although problems did occur throughout the season, they were handled with care by having it discussed at team meetings. These meetings not only worked out the problems, but also helped prepare the future Benicia High Soccer team. Our team was made up of both boys and girls. The girls were mainly there for moral support and general practice, but they are always ready to play. A few of the players have been playing for years. For example, Gary Maldonaldo has been playing for 12 years which gave Gary the Most Valuable Player Award. Our protective goalie was senior Mike Dwyer whose experience of 7 years paid off. Both Mike and Gary were the team captains. Brian Smith was voted as The Most Improved Player which proved to be true that practice makes perfect. 1.

The Panthers rose to great heights in sweeping three games in the North Tahoe Christmas Tournament in Tahoe City to capture the championship. Among the many standout performers for Benicia, Tom Knight and Vince Isom vvere selected to the All-Tournament Team, with Tom being selected as lVl.V.P, Part of the reason for Benicia's successful campaign lies in the experience and leadership of six key senior lettermen. Brian Parker, Russ lVlcl4eever, Tom Knight, Vince Isom, Terry Crackel, and Benjie Williams all played a slgnigicant role in this year's team concept. ln addition to the improved play of juniors, Darriclc Randolph and Phil Glson contributed greatly to the Panthers' drive toward the S.C.A,L. 1,3 P .Je g A '7,4 11 at 41 T., , l GO-Varsity Basketball , V A 1 - --1-m'f3fZ57,71+f , , ,,.,,,,,, . i, , ,. ,, 3 .. ,,, w :.,,A1,,1, I Championship and C.I.F.

Led by Judi Bursby, who finished her three year Varsity career holding virtually every scoring record at BHS, the team jumped to a season win streak of 6-O. The streak was halted by a loss in the championship game of their own tournament. Including Judi's accomplishments was a twenty point per game average for three years of Varsity play and selected to All League, All Region, and All - Northern California Team.

They will insure that BHS continues to have a winning basketball program for girls. Throughout the year the team showed it was one ofthe highest scoring teams in the area. Averaging over 50 points per game their offensive capabilities kept them in most games and constantly forced their opponents to score to stay in the contest. Next year we should start off with an experienced group that should be able to handle all situations and bring girl's basketball more victories. fauna. 304 l iv A., ,nr 1 nit Lx.-5-H's'H-., NS.

It was a small team having only 8- players. This was an advantage as it gave more practice and playing time to those there. There were no real stars from the point of offense or rebounding as everyone contributed their share. The freshman on the team, Stephanie Costidoat, Labertha Flores, Kim Kultti, Sheila Williams, Trish Thrilvoldt, Toni Phister showed great individual improvment. Though Kultti is moving and will be missed, the remaining five should give a strong unit for next year. There were a number of games where the margin of victory was 2 points with Benicia winning. That shows a good sense of team play and togetherness. It was really enjoyable watching them grow and develop as individuals and as a team. FROSHXSOPH GIRLS' BASKETBALL 97 Have you ever wondered what it's like to run track? If you've had the glorious opportunity to be on a track team, of course, then you will already understand what it is like to have such an experience, if not, put on the spikes of your imagination and hang on. You about to run an 880-yard dash, the most demanding of all track races because it combines elements of both the short dashes and the distance events. It requires both speed and strength . . . HLast call for the 880-yard dash, the announcer intones, and your stomach turns over queasily. You strip-off your sweats and step up to the starting line in the lane you've been assigned, Your mouth tastes like brass, it is as dry as cotton, you can feel you heart pounding, the blood rushing in your ears. The palms of your hands are sweaty. You look down at your starting blocks as if from a great distance, but you can see every detail of the chipped surface of the blocks and the crunchy-looking red cinder of the track. The white- chalked line stretches away from you, straight as a die, to the curve. You try not to look directly at the other people in the race, particularly those dressed in the Green-and-Gold of Vanden, because they have dominated this event for what seems like forever, but today you hope to bring their streak to a halt. Individual faces in the crowd have merged into a blur at the periphery of your vision. You can hear friends, coaches, teammates shouting words of encouragement to you, but it's as if their voices are coming at you from under water. They fade into the background of your consciousness. You wipe your sweaty hands on your jersey and exchange quick handshakes and mumbled Ugood luck with the muscles of tirst one leg and then the other. From up the track a whistle blows. Your heart lurches in your chest, and you take a deep breath that unaccountably turns into a jaw-wrenching yawn, There is a sudden Hurry of activity along the length of the course as athletes and officials hurridly clear the track. The noise and motion in the stands diminish, slow down, stop. You can feel the concentrated gaze of the massed spectators narrowing, focusing on you. Your skin feels separate from your body. Runners! Come to your marks! The starter walks across the track in front of your block, off-handedly checking the load in his pistol as he walks. Crunch, crunch: the sound of each step he takes is isolated, distinct. He wears a red satin sleeve on his gun arm, the color flickers brlefiy past your field of vision as you gaze down at the while line marking your start. You watch your hands reach down to the line, see the tendons and muscles stretch, tense as you precisely place your thumbs and fingers parallel to the line. There is a restless shufiiing as the runners adjust themselves to their blocks. You can see the shoulders and arms of the runner ahead and outside you in the straggered start shift and bunch, and your mind skitters away from contemplating your adversary's strength. THER TRACK USet!ll The pores of your hands are huge! You can't feel your legs! Your arms tingle- needles and pins! Your heart is hammering as you raise into the sprinter's crouch! A sudden, icy, calm determination grips your mind .. . BLAIVI! You're out of the blocks and four yards down the track before consciously registering the fact that you've begun. You begin lengthening your stride, knees coming up almost imperceptably higher as you come into the first curve, beginning now to make up the staggered distance on the runners in lanes outside yours, a red blur and white straining face as you pass the first one, the whirl and grunting throw of a discus athlete seen out of the corner of your left eye as you pass another but the Vanden runner is inside you and accelerating smoothly, blonde hair bobbing, already into that high, fioating pace that is the signature of the good middle-distance runner.

N , , ilv1. 1-1, ,-e T is Tack-tack-tack-: the sounds of spikes are all you hear now, coming up to the ppoint where you can leave your lane and break to the pole. You throw in a burst of speed and settle in behind the runner from Justin-Sienna, always tough, but the Vanden runner has maintained the lead going into the break, and as you fly down the back- stretch into the 330 mark, Vanden has nearly live yards on you. Clang! a pole-vaulter knocks off the cross-bar and thumps into the pit as you stride into the second curve. The field is beginning to string-out now. You come out of the turn and enter the straight in front of the stands, and you concentrate on keeping your stride smooth, your face, neck and shoulders relaxed. You very gradually accelerate again until you're only one stride behind the Justin-Sienna runner, about three yards behind Vanden, and you check your body for the hrst indications of fatigue, and you allow part of your mind to feel pleased that nothing hurts yet, not even the ankle you sprained two weeks ago . . . Past the stands and the welter of sound that inundates you like waves breaking on a beach, the sudden chlorophyl smell of newly-mown grass clogs your nostrils sweetly. HFifty-eight, fifty-nine, the timer yells at you as you float past him in a blur, clearly aware you are running faster than you've ever done the 880 before and you fight back the first insidious feelings of fear . . . what if I'm going too fast? , . . Around the turn again, and you brace yourself for a supreme effort, because the third 220 is the tricky one, the key to this race, because if a mental letdown is going to occur it will be here, where you are tempted to save yourself for the last sprint to the tape, so you dig in, lengthening your stride again, the air beginning to sear your lungs now. Ahead of you, as you come out of the turn, the Justin runner seems to falter and break stride, and you get a tremendously savage lift and are past Justin in a burst, willing yourself to stay smooth, ignoring the muscles of you chest and shoulders that are beginning to burn, ignoring the sudden weight that seems to have jumped on your back. You imitate the Vanden runner, dropping your arms by your sides, one, two, for a stride, and when you pull them back up to belt level it feels as though someone gave you an energy pill. You and Vanden head into the hnal turn, less than two strides between you now, and then you're coming out of the last turn, and ... Your head is roaring aand you're running in quick sand and you scream deep in your mind dig dig and your body is one vast ache your legs like lead like butter and all sound is gone all feeling all pain and you drive yourself even with Vanden half- a step ahead the tape! . .. You won! There is a vast roaring in your head, You feel as if every muscle is on ire. You feel great! HNice race, you croak at the Vanden runner as you stand side-by-side, bent over, hands on your knees, your lungs pumping like bellows. li Good jump lVlr Vault Fraiser. 21 T.C.

There were nine returning Varsity Players which included: Arnold Abansado, lVlary lVlonzon, Jason Chan, Adam lVlcNulty, Howard Jenkins, Brian Nishuimura, Jim Dunlop, Joey Segura, and Rhoda Chua. Jill Porath, Steve Bortolazzo, Cindy Christensen, arshawn Woods, Nancy Kim, Lynn Nishuimura, Amy Russell, Sean English, William lVlurtey, and Sheila Williams were the new members ofthe Panther Team. Their talent of playing consistant tennis proved to be dominant. Each of these players were essential ingredients in making the team as one. Not only did the team work as a unit on the courts but also off the courts by raising money to purchase new and better equipment for the team. As of the 1980-81 year Arnold Abansado was nominated lVlost Valuable Player for the third year. The team worked together to lead themselves to victory!! 1.

The practices consisted of scrimages, drills, and many challenging exercises. lVlany of the players from the Jayvee team moved up to varsity, but ftve varsity players returned to play varsity for their second year. These seniors were: Todd Blaettler - Pitcher, Ken Winfield - Catcher, Terry Carckle - Infield, Brian Parker - outheld, Tom Knight - Outfield. The Jayvees that are playing varsity this year are: Dennis Gosser - Pitcher, Kent Shaw - Catcher, Ken Fisher Outheld, Roger Calwell - Pitcher, Sam Peterson - Inheld. There was a large amount of newcomers to add to this years varsity baseball team. These players were: Colin Larkin - lnheld, Mike Gosser - Inheld, Steve Hockney - Inheld, Anthony Hockney - Catcher, Mike Gutierrez - Outheld, Jo Jo lVlonzon - Outfield. The team worked diligently together to earn the section crown which has eluded them for the last two years. The prospects from the Javyee team did a tremendous job in filling the spots of those players who left. This hne group of guy's were young and experienced, to some degree.

The Panthers lost a great deal of pitching strength from last year, and that was the hardest to replace. Todd Blaettler gained some varsity pitching experience last year and led the pitching staff during this years season. Brian Parker and Tom Knight were outstanding in their outfield positions with Knight being all league player last year. With the voluntary work of Coach Pete Jones and Ken Adams the Panther's were easily one of the better clubs in the league. The teams goal was to make the Sac-Joaquin playoffs once again. Comments from some team lvlembersz Tom Knight - 'ISince I have been playing sports here at Benicia, our athletic clubs have been called names such as the 'lChokers , and we have been known to lose the big - ones This year, we are going to try to change that label and avenge our title loss to Dixon. We have a powerful team, LL - and Sac-Jacquine honors, though the competitions will be tough, I've never won a league championship and I'm sure we'll continue the tradition of winning league championship. Colin Larkin - llWe are a young team this year, but we're looking good and strong. We are going to give it our best shot! Remember the only time success comes before work is in the dictionary. - capable of winning anything, if we pull together, we just might. Dennis Gosser - 'lFor the past two years varsity has took league but haven't been able to win the playoffs. This year everybody wants it, Coach Wheat, Coaches Jones and Adams, and the players.

Not only did they learn how to play softball, but they also the basic values of sportsmanship . .. uAt the J.V.Level, most of the coaching is just basic skill, but as we went along in the season we worked on different types of stratagies.

We each could be found involving ourselves in national and local sports to a greater extent. The year started out with a boom in February when the United States hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid,. New York. There was joy, and there was heartbreak during the two week period that the Olympic Hag and torch shown brightly. Americans will always remember the unfavored US Hockey team going in and winning the gold medal. The American spirit was truly back as the nation watched the team skate around the rink carrying the Hag and singing what they knew of t'God Bless America. Then, gold medal when the Phillies went on to defeat Kansas City in the World Series. Mike Scmidt of the Phillies was later named as the league's MVP Jim Plunkett, after six unsuccessful seasons with both New England and San Francisco, led the Raiders on to Superbowl XV victory in January of 1981. Plunkett led the attack with a final score of 27-10 in favor of the Raiders. Ron Jaworski of the Eagles was a bit disenheartened with the outcome of it all. And lastly, Jack Nicklaus hnally showed his face to the world when he began touring with the pro circuit again. No one knew what had happened to the man until he showed up in late 1980 YEAR I PORT favored and world champion figure skaters Tai Babalonia and Randy Gardner had to drop out of competition when Gardner received a groinal injury while practicing. Many of us will remember the tears streaming down Babalonia's face as she left the rink. America also had its hopes up for another gold medal in figure skating from Linda Fratianne, but none of us were discouraged when she came up with the silver medal. At the summer games, many countries were not represented due to Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, the USA being one of those countries. Though we heard little about those games, the one story that stands out was about ' Nadia Commenici, the 1976 olympic sweetheart that gained nearly all perfect scored in gymnastics during competition. In Moscow, we saw Nadia take a tumbling fall and receive disputable marks. Nadia took the silver medal, taking second to a new girl from the Soviet Union. After the Olympics, many events were held where American gold medal hopefuls were matched against the actual gold medal winners. The Americans came through with shining colors, breaking olympic and world records. Evonne Godagong won her first wimbledon final match since 1971. Chris Everet Lloyd was able to show that she still had it by defeating Tracy Austin in the hnals of the US open. The big tennis match of the year had to be when Bjorn Borg defeated John MacEnroe in the Wimbledon finals.

To accomplish my goal to be Principal at Benicia High has been rewarding. Seeing the seniors whom l've known since they were freshman graduating and going out into the world has been gratifying. To be back in Benicia working with staff and students is all l could ever want from a career. Our high school has made advances in curriculm, in athletics, and in developing a sense of pride. Benicia is a special place for me and I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to come back and be part of the high school program. As high school principal l want to wish the best of luck to the seniors and their parents. And to the juniors, sophomores, and freshman- let's keep striving to keep Benicia High School I 1. George Mariman Principal 19 ' F3Ctiif-- When the 1979-1980 school year came to an end with the warmth of June, most people probably thought that teachers were ready to take a break from education, no more early mornings, a lot of luxury reading, no lesson plans, a lot of visiting plans, and no grading of papers. In reality, although the BHS faculty did not grade papers, the majority of the staff got up at the crack of dawn to either prepare for classes or tours that broadened awareness, nourished ideas and developed wisdom. After a few days of casual freedom, many BHS teachers joined hundreds of teachers from around the world for the Bay Area Writer's Project at the University of Berkeley. Five intense weeks filled the minds of English, Creative Art and science teachers. The results from the experience were and are enormous. So much excitement came out of BAWP, that BHS teachers chose to enroll in the fall BAWP offered at the high school. Although the class appeared to be aimed at Language Arts, many math, special education, and foreign language teachers attended the six week extension. As the 1980-81 school year progressed, students, in all fields of study, learned what BAWP meant, ltQuantity leads to Quality. While some teachers were off learning new techniques in writing, other teachers chose to teach summer school. Some seniors had not passed the dreaded composition Q 3 f' test, so teachers took caring steps to arrange a special course for those students. With the additional help and encouragement, the majority of students enrolled found accomplishment. And then there were the teachers that chose to travel in search of answers they had wondered about. Some people Hew south to be enlightened by new techniques and philosophies regarding sports, and others enjoyed European adventures where they studied various cultures and languages. As August '80 drew to a close, the entire staff joined together in retreat, so as to share, to expand, and to come together as a family. Areas of communication, education, goals, objectives, and fellowship were some of the topics discussed and enjoyed. With the summer gone, the faculty enjoyed the smiles on the progressive faces. The BAWP people enjoyed enthusiastic writing, the southern travelers appreciated the success of new skills, and the European adventures delighted in sharing their wealth of information about different cultures and languages. The BHS staff found reward in student success throughout the year as the pieces of thought and concern came together. P.S. The BHS Johnnies learned to read because the faculty, in all fields of study cared, and students tried. 1 1 if gggnnn-me-rf'- 's wwe '9N. The positive changes that have taken place at BHS this school year did not exist, they evolved. Everyone, the staff, students and parents are involved in the creative process of changing the old forms and methods. It had been personally and professionally rewarding to be a part of the very exciting and successful program at BHS this year. I am looking forward to being a part of BHS's success story in the coming years. In my book BHS, it's students and staff are second to none. Steve Iverson Assistant Principal Thank the Big Blue Panther in the sky for second chances! After teaching and coaching at Benicia H.S. during the two year span from 1976 to 1978 I adventured northward to the rural farm community of Esparto. At Esparto High I served as the head Varsity Football and basketball coach along with my teaching PE and English. This was a great experience but my heart remained in Benicia. 1 Fortunately, in the summer of 1980, I was able to return Uhome and became the Dean of Students and assistant Varsity football coach at BHS. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed almost every moment spent while working with the people here at BHS. We have probably one of the most unique group of students along with a tremendous teaching staff that anyone could imagine for a school our size. With our continued campus growth, BHS will continue to be one of the top high schools in the area and I am planning on working hard to help make BHS a place that all students will remember as a great place to spend their four years of high school. Thanks for the second chance! Ed Felt s Faculty - 1 67 f I L 1 fin ff ' + '+ M X 4 pl 52 41' 'X Xhx J 'J J! g 169 Q ' . A. 1 1. Q.

I Each school day, Benicia High School Students were faced with new barriers to overcome and new goals to attain. Although we all made mistakes, we were able to learn lessons that would remain with us for the rest of our lives. We never were able to keep up with time. There always seemed to be so much to do, so many goals to accomplish, but the clock never stopped ticking. Before we could realize it, the year's end was upon us. Seniors were carrying through last minute plans, making sure that they were Hnally ready to take that gigantic leap into the world with what experience and knowledge they had gained in their lives thus far. Underclassmen were busily preparing for the coming year. New friends and old friends still remained at our side. In frustrating times, we were always able to turn to those close friends for advice or just an assuring smile. Teachers and administrators made life go by seemingly easier that it really was. With what little time available, we had our chances to communicate with these people on a one to one basis. Our year, the year that was, Hnally came together. Although some pieces of the puzzle were either lost or forgotten, the entire year was there in plain view. The struggle for success was well worth it. The year, in itself, was one of the best ever at BHS. The changes we worried about soon became a part of everyday life. The best way to sum up the year was: at hrst it was a puzzle . . . V AND THEN THE PIECES AME TOGETHER CLOSING 171 1980-1981 was definitely a changing but successful year. In the first few weeks of school, the outcome of the year was certainly unforeseeable. Little did we know that things would work out in the manners that they did. The Performing Arts Building, a puzzle in itself, was finally completed. It not only proved itself to be one of the best auditoriums in this area, but it provided the campus a chance to expand. New classrooms in the building provided space for new courses in the high school curriculum. The football field lights were also a success in themselves. Night football games at BHS were not only appealing to the student body, but also to the community. Attendance was at an all time high at home games, where standing room only crowds existed at every game. Homecoming was unique, and jam packed with people under the bright shining lights. The football team's successful 6-3 record, the best record at BHS in many years, may be attributed to the lighting system. The Administration and faculty quickly adjusted to school life, and students were more accepting to the changes in staff than was expected. an 1. Todd Swanson and Willie Pitts study the draft. 2.

Ronald Reagan, and a Raider victory in Superbowl XV. When we look back, we realize that friends, faculty, and family were key factors to this fantastic year. Benicia High School students now realized that it was time to look to the future. New goals were to be set and reached. Our furture lives and accomplishments were important to the well being of the rest of the world. It was now time to look to . . . 1. Carla Kibby waits for the bell to ring after that long class. 2.

Participants in this competition were nominated by the faculty to compete in their strongest field. The Bank of America 1981 Achievement Awards were challenged by many top-ranking students as they pooled their writing and speaking talents together in both an essay and round table discussion. Faculty members marked their score sheets on individual performance, and reviewed such criteria as academics and school service. After looking over each candidate carefully, the committee consisting of KGF ,D ,. I seven faculty members made their decision. The three announced winners received personally engraved plaques, and went on to compete in the regional competition. These seniors were: Brian Earp for Liberal Arts, Valerie Slavik for Math!Science, and Steve Holl for Eine Arts. Certificate winners were also chosen upon individual accomplishment. These seniors were elected primarily on teacher recommendation with the exception of the English area which required a timed essay. These winners were: Ernie Vizuet-Art: Heidi Hartig- Music, Kenneth Hebert and Susan Quesada-English, Dana Seslar and Judi Bursbi-Foreign Languages, Todd Blaettler-Social Studies, Mark Higginbotham-Laboratory Science, Robert Baller-Mathematics, Theresa Morasci and Tanya Smith-Business, Todd Swanson-Trade and Industrial. Other students nominated for the above mentioned categories were: Larry Hagar, Vicky Cruz, Diane Robbins, and Mary Monzon. Though they received no award, their exceptional skills proved them worthy of recognition. These Seniors are all to be commended on their accomplishments and hard work, and the Bank of America thanked for giving them the opportunity to prove themselves. AMERICA AWARD wr' lfwn 1.

The stagecraft class constructed all scenery used, and also aided with lighting, sound and stage assistance. The sixth period costume design class was responsible for the diversihed wardrobes used in the production. Terri Morasci, the assistant kirector, was responsible for the over all run ofthe play, making sure all went as planned. All-star performers and direction helped to make the Senior Play the overall success that it was. Due to the completion problems ofthe complex, the play was postpones twice to enable the Senior Class to be the first class to perform in the new building. Seniors began rehearsals in January in Director Mrs. Doris Holme's classroom until the building was turned over to the school district. The play a delightful satire on many modern and old productions comes complete with heroes villains and a damsel in distress-- not to mention a fev. other very 'ldifierent characters.
