There were so many problems and so much confusion with this book, the staff wasn't sure we'd ever get it done. We made a lot of changes in the yearbook, and changes and pro- blems, go hand in hand. The theme of the book is, A Touch of Class. With this theme, we tried to change our small town year- book into one like the big schools have. We did this with graphic lines, special color spots, and a real classy cover. We also used song lyrics from hits of this year. They stand for our era of music. It was alot of work, but the staff and I think it was worth it. 0 . . To add to all our other problems, the economy was in a recession, and we could barely get the money to do all we wanted to do with this book. It was apparent that money was tight. Thanks to cooperative students and the businessmen of our community, we finally got it all together. I realize that most of you, won't read this introduction until many years from now, but I hope you'll always be proud of this book and the school that it represents. I know the 1983 Cresta Azul staff is. Christy Mecey Editor . ti I to 1 Lgijaqilia.. i'E5?l-Im. v ia fri? Wow nf is ' hrgiii A -'L iw 1? fgj Qi, fit. 'fyz Elk if .

It was a year of reform for most of the student body. The most noticeable change was in clothes. Stripes and polka dots were on many of the shirts that the girls wore. Guys wore shirts made by OP and Lightning Bolt. A most comfor- table outfit was that a preppy with designer jeans topped by lzod shirts. Dressiness was also in . Shoes were another major reform. The traditional Nike tennis shoe lost some wearers to a California shoe called Vans. There was a wide varie- ty from purple and pink to checkers of any color. n Music this year also was greatly changed. New Wave and Punk made a debut at Blue Ridge causing many new groups to be popular. People such as Toni Basil, The Stray Cats, Adam Ant, The Scorpions, and Billy Squire were some of the more ap- preciated musicians. The new types of music caused changes in hairstyles. Girls were wearing their hair shorter as well as the guys. Cropped hair was popular among those dedicated to New Wave music. Not only were hairstyles changed by music, but slang vocabulary was indirectly affected by Valley Girl a song by Moon Unit and Frank Zappa. Phrases such as Barf me out and Gag me with a spoon were common on campus. Anything wonderful was Tubular and like . . . took the place of a, an, but, or and then. This vocabulary was most popular with the girls. Page 6. 1.

That question was answered on Sept. 30 and Oct. 2, 1982 as the B.R.H.S. drama department put on The Tender Trap, a play originally starring Frank Sinatra. The story starred stage rookie, Danny Hoover, as the ultimate un- trappable bachelor, Charlie Reader. Co-starring the incomparable David Wilbur as Ioe McCall, Charlie's best friend, a married man trying to make it in the world of business. The story followed Charlie on a wild singles life, going out with a different girl every night. Some of these girls were played by: Sally Hall, Cindy Larkin, Angie Greene, and Kim Bailey. Setting a marriage trap, two girls get Charlie to propose to them, tAngie and Kimj. In the end, Charlie gets Kim, who played the part of Iulie Gillis. Saturday evening's performance was enriched by a side show of Dan- ny Hoover. He ran across the stage changing his clothes inbetween acts, unaware that the stage curtains would not close. There was a classic ending in the play and for the drama department, that raised money for future plays. 12 FALL PLAY THE TENDER TRAP wi The Tender Trap Charlie Reader .......

The FBLA club traveled to Prescott and Phoenix to participate in com- petitions with other schools from all over the state. The competitions in- cluded Typing I 8: II, shorthand, computers and office practice skills.

There were 27 organized clubs at Blue Ridge and a student govern- ment was needed to control their many fund raising and spirit pro- moting activities. A democratic system of voting was used by the Student Council when a club re- quested an activity. All dances, pep rallies, fund raising, and school oriented activities had to be accepted ,.., .ki . 1 tx ...... igne- i me . by the Student Council and school administration before being conducted. This year the Council presented several special activities on top of the traditional ones. Student activity cards were produced, and allowed the buyer into all home games free as well as some price reductions on Stu- dent Council projects. A special movie, Everyday Heros, was shown to the Blue Ridge students. A Christmas Bazaar and a Christmas ac- tivity week were held. Christmas cards were sent out to many nearby schools and to local administrators. A welcome back to school dance was held to get everyone back into the swing of school and to make the inl coming freshmen feel welcome Overall, this year was very rewar ding for Blue Ridge. 3.

Kris Ehlis, a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, was the new strings teacher. Through a lot of hard work the strings put on many con- certs. Among their activities they played for weddings and were paid for it. They participated in the Solo 6: Ensemble Festival and all but one of the students made it for the Nor- theastern Regional Orchestra. The A.C.E. CAdvanced Choral Ensemblej Choir had a very in- teresting year. Ms. Brown has taught the choirs here for 5 years and says that with a majority of students be- ing new to high school choir, it was basically a year of training, one in which the students learned a lot musically as well as what it means to be a member of a team. She also said, The choirs have a lot of talent with a lot of good potentia1. The choir went on tour to the Grand Canyon, Phoenix, and Tucson. Fundraising included: Feast of Carols, quilt raffle, concession stands at Ace Hardware store, pumpkin sale, P.T.O. Hallo- ween Party, and car washes. A.C.E. performed at the A.A.A.E. Conven- tion at N .A.U., the Baptist Church, H...,..,X 1 3 4 and the Lions Club. The Girls Choir toured Phoenix performing for schools in Show- Low, Payson, and Mesa. While on tour they went to the movies and at- tended the Mountain State Festival. To raise the money for tour they sold Flower Grams and held a dance. They also participated in the A.C.E. Choir's Feast of Carols. Both choirs participated in the Solo 8: Ensemble Festival, Regional Choir, and All-State Choir. Not everyone made it to the Regional and All-State Choirs though. Y 1.

At the first stop in Los Mochis, after about twen- ty hours of driving, many people rested for the coming day while others took advantage of low prices in the market. For the new members of the club, Mazatlan was a new world. Much of the five days was spent soaking up the sun on the beach and shopping in the streets and the huge market. This year there was a new attraction called The Spider. A few students climbed to the top of the huge structure and flung themselves into the rubber straps below. This year was also the first time for an extra trip. For 10 older members, the trip to Tepic turned out to be a little more than expected. On a side journey to San Blas, they encountered a jungle where Coach Stan Thompson, Greg Schimmel, Ieff Powell, and Chris Kuhl all played Tarzan for a few minutes on the vines. The trip's final two days were spent in Hermosillo, where Thomp- son tours, pool football, and Easter Sunday services ended the trip. This year there were 56 students and 10 chaperones.

It helped students get in shape for track and basketball. Blue Ridge ran against schools such as Show Low, Superior, Alchesay, Winslow, Holbrook, and Benson. Surprisingly since this was Blue Ridge's first year in Cross-country they went to State, which was held in Tucson, Arizona. Tom Williams, set a school record with an average of 17 minutes 16 seconds in the 3.1 mile run. The athletes took 7th place out of 11 teams at State. Cross-country requires stamina, endurance, strength, and the will- ingness to compete against any qualified runner, stated Scott Hightower. By running five miles in an average day, a 6.25 mile, and up to as many 12 220's athletes improved emotionally as well as physically. As the season went by the athletes im- proved on time and attitude. Making up the Girls Varsity Cross-country team were: Chris Pelto, Amy Freemon, Mary Faith Snyder, and Teri Witcher.

The defense for the jackets was unpenetrable and every team that they played felt the power and quickness of the team. They gave up 0 points in the B North Conference going 16 quarters without letting the opponents score. This performance was the best in 10 years at Blue Ridge High School. The only team to beat the jackets in the regular season were the Class A Snowflake Lobos. The Round Valley Elks had been undefeated on their home field for 5 years until the jackets came to town. It was a tough and probably the most physical game of the year for both teams, but the jackets came out on top with a last minute field goal by Dale Clester to make it a 3-0 win over the Elks. VARSITY FOOTBALL At the playoffs the B-North Con- ference Champion Yellow jackets met the Ajo Red Raiders and defeated them 28-7. The semi-final opponents, the Hayden Bulldogs, proved to be a tough team. Although Hayden moved up and down the field, Blue Ridge managed to stop them from scoring and slipped by with a 7-0 win thanks to Greg Schim- mel's touchdown with less than two minutes to play. Rich Wahlin's in- terception in the end zone of a Hayden pass, time having expired, saved the game. The Blue Ridge Yellow jackets and the Wilcox Cowboys met in the final game on November 19 at Marcos de Niza Field in Tempe. Both teams were moving the ball well, but the Cowboys just kept pounding to the goal line. It came down to a last se- cond field goal, a 43 yard attempt with only 3 seconds left. The kick was short and the Cowboys defeated the jackets 13-11. Page 30. 1. Paul Gutierrez f73j makes a tackle. 2. Robb Wahlin attacks the St. johns quarterback. Page 31. 1.

A few teams came close but not close enough to scare the I.V. team. The defense was the most ex- plosive part of the team, only giving up 6 points per game throughout the season.

Iackets set-up with spunk by Wendy Burum ot only did the Junior Iackets start off the season with a thrill of victory, but also, the agony of defeat. Their 5-5 conference record showed ability, but didn't reflect their potential. They showed skill, and with more experience and coaching, could make a super varsity squad. They had a couple of big losses, but also some promising wins against St. Iohns, St. Michaels, and Alchesay. The team was led by Iulie Barnett, Tami Lambert, and Kim Shannon with their power hitting serves, and backed-up by the quick moves of Stephanie Reidhead, Heather Bryce, and Lamona Hutton. Lori Williams, a freshman on the team, demonstrated great potential because she improved in her skills greatly this season. When Coach Mary Riley was asked how she felt about the 1982 season she replied, The team improved greatly on their serves and cut down on errors as the season went along. She also stated, I really enjoy coaching I.V. volleyball because I en- joy seeing improvement in the players. 3 'i is ' . if l I.V.

They soon got back on the ball by defeating Ioe Ci- ty 64-52 and Chinle 60-57. They end- ed the season with a 7-15 record, but this does not show their ability and talent. They had played Alchesay in three other games and they couldn't get around to defeating them, but in the last game they won by five points. Chris Clarine was both leading re- bounder with 12.5 per game and leading scorer with 20 points per game. Brad Willmott also had an outstanding freethrow percentage with 689B and Eddie Roten was the outstanding defensive player accor- ding to Coach Nelson.

Although the three losses brought them down, they soon moved up again and end- ed the season with a 11-5 season record. They then lost to Valley by two points, because of the loss of two starters, Bob Neumann and Dennis Baker moving up to Varsity. The I.V. Team really worked together this year, and will make a super varsity team next year. The Freshman Team was not so fortunate this year. They ended the season with a 13-1 season record, on- ly winning one game this year. That game was a very memorable game though. The one game they won was against St. Michael's 47-25.

Greta Naranjo injured her arm dur- ing mid-season but continued to play and became the team's top scorer. ln the first round of play in the Winslow Winter Classic the Jackets lost to Monument Valley but came back to beat Camp Verde, Flagstaff, Coconino, and Chinle to take third place. Defeating these four teams contributed to the 16-9 record for the jackets. At the B-North District Tourna- ment the Iackets let loose the power I........-. of Debbie Carlson and Williams under the boards and the outside shots of Bass, Henderson, and Naranjo to beat Alchesay 59-56, sen- ding them on their way to the State Quarter Finals. Next the Iackets faced Williams, knowing they had to win to stay in the State Tournament. The Iackets buzzed by them 58-44. The semi- final game against Morenci was the final game of the year for the Jackets.

They suffered through losing five games in a row, but rebounded to enjoy a four game winning streak. They started off by beating the Valley Cardinals 34-37. Then the team went on to play their best game of the season against Alchesay. The teams' point guard, Wendy Whipple, injured her arm in the third quarter. This shook up the team, but they took over the lead and beat the Falcons 47-44. The team was led by Captain and leading scorer, Sheila Shumate, with a 45 foot swish that contributed to her season record of 180 points. Bob- bie Sutton had 119 points for the season and was the leading offensive rebounder with 74 rebounds. Leading the team in defensive re- bounding was DeeDee Donaldson with 113 rebounds. The team was coached by Mr. Bill Graves. He inspired the team by never giving up and never letting the team give up. Other members who contributed to the season were: Paula Esparza, Tami Lambert, Wendy Whipple, Michelle Brimhall, Bev Fish, and Annette Mack.

With most of the wrestlers just finishing football it took a lot of work to catch up to the other schools with the little time they had. With an extremely young squad, the team improved rapidly over the season. The Iackets became known for their aggressive style of wrestling. They were unleashing the animals in them, not only by collecting pins but by placing in various tournaments. The highlight match of the season was the District Tournament held at Blue Ridge. Despite tough competi- tion the Iackets placed 6th out of 12 teams and placed 5 wrestlers. Danny Cartier ripped through his weight class and pinned his final opponent to take the District Championship. Other wrestlers placing at District included Danny Townsend 2nd, Lionel Evans 3rd, Brent Moya 3rd and Donald Earl 3rd. The five wrestlers went on to State to take on the 22 team tournament. It was a tough tournament although the Iackets took 11th out of 22 teams placing Danny Cartier 3rd and Brent Moya 4th, Coach Ellsworth stated The team has a great future ahead of it.

Despite the bad weather and having to practice in the gym a lot the team worked hard and defeated joseph Ci- ty, Round Valley, St. Iohns, Show Low and Holbrook. For the first time in Blue Ridge history the Varsity Baseball Team went undefeated in conference and won the B-North Crown. They went to the State Quarter Finals in Phoenix to play Bradshaw Mountain on May seventh. It was a close game all the way through. In the seventh inning it was tied up at seven apiece. Going into extra inn- ings Bradshaw Mountain quickly scored four more runs. Blue Ridge had another chance to tie it up or win. The Iackets knocked in four runs to make the score 12-11. The jackets then found themselves with two out and the tieing run on se- cond. Chris Clarine made good con- tact but flied out and the game was over. Bradshaw Mountain defeated Blue Ridge 12-11. The I.V. Baseball team coached by Coach Stidham had developed some solid players. Robby McCauley, cat- cher, and Derek Danley, the offen- sive leader, will be great for next year's Varsity Squad. Coach Stidham's biggest thrill of the year was their defeat over Snowflake, 10-6. 1.V. BASEBALL 49 1. Tony Sutton takes sixth in the 1600 meter run at State. 2.

They worked hard and ac- complished a lot. Their hard work paid off by placing them 6th in the team standings. The team scored twenty-four points with only five girls. Dee Dee Moreland's effort helped out the team's score by taking a third in discus and a fourth in the shot put. The relay team of Amy Freemon, Greta Naranjo, Beth Williams, and Cheryl Strandquist placed fourth in the 400 meter relay and fifth in the 1600 meter relay. Beth Williams took second in the 400 meter dash. The boys' team placed an amazing third at State. They competed against AAA, AA and A teams. Many of the boys set new school records and some even set new State records. Eddie Roten set two new school records. He turned a time of 41.01 in the intermediate hurdles and cleared 6'4 in the high jump. Buz Matteson took fourth at State in the 400 meter dash, but set a new school record. Tom Williams also set a record in the 800 meter run and Ian Iackson in the 1600 meter run. Tony Sutton still holds the school record in the 3200 meter run. Coach Freemon said, This was the best overall track team I've had in twelve years. I've had teams place high in State meets but none were better than this one. I have a deep feeling of respect for them and I salute them! i ifsll f .K gm, img .1 . is t , A ls. C 63 gi y lectin 'ff A till? W' 1 ?

From the beginning, they work hard for their teams. They start off in the summer by attending various camps, and finish in the spr- ing with competitions against other squads around Arizona. This year secret pommies, cheers, and mat-maids were hot. They pro- vided locker signs and surprises for individual team members throughout the season. Surprises ranged from packs of gum, to cards, to giant sugar cookies. Each was received with mixed reactions and in the end when players found out who had provided them with these things, reactions were equally surprising. lt's not all fun and games though, it takes many hours of practice to perfect the few minutes spent per- forming. Besides daily practices, many times there are late night or morning practices and extra hours spent decorating halls and making posters. As one girl put it, lt takes a lot of work, but it's worth it. ,,, kb, .r .... s e-1 f gg ,AQTL f'- S 'Q SV i . , usa, QA ie,rN ,K RQ? 3' ti li A it 5 if gtfftfff ' 5U ffg'f' ?'j,.a::.. , .- if g -1.3 Lg vi M.,-,A 2 3 52 PEP SQUADS sq- 1.

Hill, a former free lance ar- tist, has taught art for ten years, four and one half of those at Blue Ridge. She chose the teaching profession because she felt that in giving her knowledge to the students, she also gained from their questions. She felt that the students could learn to appreciate different cultures through art. The basic understan- ding of art can give students a View of the times, according to Ms. Hill. The art classes were divided into three different levelsg introduction, intermediate, and advanced art. In the introduction class the students learned different design elements and began working with different media. In the intermediate classes the students decided which media they liked and enjoyed a certain amount of freedom in their choice of art. The advanced art students studied art independently. Three Blue Ridge art students have pursued a career in art. The most notable was Michelle Hughes who studies art at U. of A. Before coming to Lakeside, Ms. Hill taught in Buffalo, New York. She traveled around the United States and was a substitute teacher when possible. She plans to continue teaching art at Blue Ridge and to upgrade the art department. She also is extending her art career by il- lustrating children's books. Page 72. 1. Dennis Murray, john Liston, and Dave Borrego paint during 3rd hour introduc- tory art. 2.

Peterson has taught English at Blue Ridge for 12 years. Her teaching has been effective because she uses traditional teaching methods. Her class helped students learn to be expressive in writing. It also made the students more aware of ideas, people and places throughout history. One of the activities that was u- nique was Chaucer Day. Geoffrey Chaucer was a medieval English Poet. Ms. Peterson's senior English Class dressed as Chaucerian characters, and had a medieval banquet, Besides being a very talented English teacher, Ms. Peterson was in- volved in numerous other activities. She was the co-editor of all dramatic productions for the previous two years and director for this year. She was also very actively involved as a Senior Class sponsor. Ms. Peterson used the new video cassette recorder in her classes which enabled her to show movies on TV that pertained to the books her classes were reading. Some of the books were Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Fiddler on the Roof. Ms. Peterson said the T.V. should not take over but assist the class in reading and writing. 1. Students study hard in Ms. Peterson's English IV class. 2.

Diane just graduated with a degree in special education. Debbie majored in music education and instrumental perfor- mance. Dane majored in graphic communication. Mr. Roush's teaching methods in- clude lectures, explanations, reading and visual materials when necessary. Although lecturing was his most ef- fective teaching method this year he introduced video-tapes. Some of his students have pursued civics as a career after graduating from Blue Ridge. The most unusual activity he used in civics was the 1920 stockmarket simulation. ln this simulation students made reports and bought and sold stock in a simulated stockmarket. According to Mr. Roush, civics is useful to students because they need to know what has caused us to be the way we are today. He said it teaches us how to cope with problems of to- day, by looking at the problems and solutions of the past. Mr. Rough add- ed that it also shows them the great things of the past. 1.

Ken Sayer has taught biology at Blue Ridge for ten years. He attended Brigham Young University. He enjoys teaching at a small school because he can get to know most of the kids. In California, where he used to teach, there were so many kids that he wasn't able to get to know them like he wanted to. His favorite part of teaching biology is the insect section because he loves the outdoors. Liv- ing here in Lakeside feels like heaven to him. The most enjoyable thing for Mr. Sayer is coaching sports at Blue Ridge. He would rather work with the players than watch them from the bleachers. If they need help or someone to talk, I'm there for them, concluded Mr. Sayer. A wide variety of science classes were offered at Blue Ridge this year. Mr. Bishop taught Earth Science I and II. Activities in these classes in- cluded a nature trip to the Blue Ridge Caves and a trip to the Grand Canyon. Mr. Fred Freemon taught Biology I and Chemistry. In Biology students were taught how to collect and pro- perly name plants. Students spent nine weeks compiling a plant notebook. ln the middle of the year, students began work on the dissec- tion of frogs, and the functions of the human body. In chemistry students experimented with chemicals. They also took notes on lectures and Worked with equations. Page 64. 1. Hard at work is Sayers 2nd hour Biology I class. 2.

'S X 6 00 QQ 469 By Annette Mack iss Connolly, the home economics, family relations, cheerleaders sponsor, and single-survival teacher all wrapped up in one, has been teaching classes for two years at Blue Ridge High School. She was born in Phoenix, Arizona and attended Gilbert High School and several colleges such as Central Arizona College, Mesa Community and the Univ. of Arizona where she received a degree in Interior Design. Home Ec. isn't just a cooking class, it's a home away from home. Classes in home ec. range from beginning to advanced. In home economics there are five areas of study: foods and nutrition, textiles and clothing, consumerism, family relations, child development and housing. ' One of the qualifications of being a good horne ec. teacher is being able to cook good, right? Wrong! Miss Connolly stated, I was never a good cook, but with time, patience, and especially need, I learned. Home Ec. subjects are everyday living skills and in order for all to survive, you must learn them. Teaching at Blue Ridge has made me feel happy, sad, good, and most of all, grateful for the experience, stated Miss Connolly. Page 68. 1.

All this adds up to twenty-two years of hard work and devotion, and let's not forget a few gray hairs. Mr. Ferrel Fish has been a mathematics teacher at Blue Ridge for fifteen years and a principal for seven years. Mr. Fish was born in Lakeside and attended Lakeside High School. He went to Eastern Arizona College his freshman year and from there he went to the University of Arizona the next year. He served as an L.D.S. missionary for two years before he graduated from U. of A. in 1961. Mr. Tom Marsing a coach, physical education, Weightlifting, and mathematics teacher for eight years came to Blue Ridge in 1974. He at- tended Riggs College in Idaho before graduating from the Universi- ty of Northern Colorado with a degree in Mathematics. Mr. Marsing has been married for eleven years and has three daughters, Eva, Heidi and Christy. Mr. Boles, a math and physics teacher for the last seven years, received his Bachelor degree in Science at Ottenbein College in Ohio. Some of Mr. Boles' students have gone into science and careers in technology and one is currently teaching at a college in Ohio. Page 72. 1.

Paul Moro has taught Physical Education for the past five of his seven teaching years. Ms. Mary Riley has also been teaching P. E. for five years. The main challenge in P.E. for the students is passing the skills tests. Mr. Moro's most effective teaching method is to participate with his students. He says this encourages them to demonstrate their abilities in some of the activities, but he tries not to compete with his students. Physical Education helps students to let out their frustrations and anger well as to keep them physically fit. Competing against one another on teams teaches the students coopera- tion and good sportsmanship. Activities throughout the year in Boys P.E. included football, soccer, frisbee, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, badminton, softball, golf, and archery. The activities are scheduled according to the seasons and weather. Additional girls P.E. ac- tivities are aerobics, mushball, tumbling and gymnastics. Mushball is the same as softball except a larger and softer ball is used. Ms. Riley taught P.E. in Bisbee for ll years, New Iersey for 4 years, and New York for 1 year. She has 4 children who are attending different colleges. Coach Moro has a 216 year old daughter and was expecting a new addition to the family. Page 94. 1.

R. QQ C56 O by Annette Mack kateboards and a solar green house were some of the pro- jects completed by students in Woodshop and construction trades. Mr. Waldo, who has been teaching for the last thirteen years, felt that his classes taught a variety of voca- tional skills. In construction class the students learned how to use the backhoe and other heavy, dangerous equipment. Woodshop taught students how to use tools in a safe way, and how to build furniture. Students spent time working on useful projects such as the solar green house at the Blue Ridge Mid School. On November 11, 1982 they started construction on a music building at the Blue Ridge Iunior High School. Classes for Woodshop are divided into beginners and advanced. Woodshop and construction have helped a lot of students, for example Loren Powell, who received a job as a construction worker. Billy Foster stated, Woodshop has helped me to become more coor- dinated with my hands. Timmy Naranjo added, Construc- tion has taught me how to use the backhoe, and to become a more pa- tient person. Mr. Waldo is the father of three children and has been married for thirteen years. Classrooms, the sign at the school entrance, a storeroom and the District office are projects completed by the construction class in previous years. 1.

KO by Laura Larson r. Sumner has had many close calls during his 17 years of driver instruction. On one oc- casion a student driver going too fast on ice spun the car in two complete circles and, regaining control, con- tinued down the road. Once in Pinetop a car pulled in front of them forcing the student driver and Mr. Sumner to apply the brakes. Their car skidded sideways through town and the student driver refused to drive again for two months. This year a student driver froze and let go of the wheel when a car pulled out in front of them. Mr. Sumner grabb- ed the wheel and with one hand maneuvered their car into the ditch and around the vehicle on the right hand side. This year the Driver's Ed. class ac- quired a new Ford Ranger pick-up. Students who attend 45 hours of class and drive six hours with the in- structor receive a discount on their insurance. Have you ever had car troubles that you just couldn't work out yourself? Well, if you were in Mr. Currier's auto shop class you would learn that putting spark plugs in is simple child's work. With 525,000 in tools and equip- ment, Auto Shop is a serious class. I emphasize safety inside my class because the students are dealing with very dangerous and expensive tools, stated Mr. Currier.

In addition to 13 years of teaching experience Mr. Petersen has operated a printing shop and was the publisher of the Wampum Saver. He also drew up many house plans as an accomplish- ed draftsman. In drafting the students learned to make floor plans for a house of their own design which could actually be built. Every room dimension had to be included. Even the smallest of details had to be added in the plans. Every measurement was precise but the students were rewarded with an accurate layout of a house which they had designed. The graphic arts students learned by hands-on work. They learned silk screening and offset printing. The students chose their own designs and handled their own work while printing silk screened T-shirts. Also during the year they learned photo-offset printing. This was the most widely used printing process. The students used this technique while making their own personal stationary. Mr. Petersen felt that by allowing the student to work in a lab-type class they could choose their own project and work on something they wanted to do. 1.

Q99 09 by Melanie Lee r. Hancock has been teaching computer programming for two years. He has worked with programming and management since 1963. There are 30 computers in the school for student use. The approx- imate cost of the computers being us- ed now is 351,000.00 each. At the end of the first quarter there were 117 students taking Mr. Hancock's com- puter classes. After the students have completed his classes and graduated from high school they will have the background to receive any job posi- tion in the line of secretarial work, word processing, computer opera- tions, or basic language programm- ing. If they continue learning about computers in college they could receive a high paying job. A word processor is a program that allows a person to type in a letter or text material, correct it for spelling errors or punctuation errors or for- mat before printing it. The computer enables the person to store informa- tion for a later use. Mr. Hancock recommends this class to anyone and says it is the fastest growing occupation in the world. Other business classes being of- fered this year are typing, office practise, and shorthand. Page 86. 1.

Gathering on the asphalt at the entrance to the multi- purpose room were 82 graduates and their well-wishers. An unusually warm and quiet May evening was regularly punctuated by the flashes of instamatic cameras. The purple and white gowns were garnished with the yellow roses nestled in green fern carried by the girls. In a ceremony marked by quiet dignity the rituals of appreciation, admonition, and anticipation were observed. The sweltering heat and overcrowding of earlier graduations were eliminated by the issuing of six tickets to each member of the Class 2 5 . - 4? t 5. 2 1 Page 100. 1.

Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and Catalina Island awaited 29 of the grads. School, jobs, vacations, mar- riages would scatter the rest of them. So much was said, done and felt in one short hour. A full moon rose over the White Mountains when all was still again to wait patiently for the Class of 1984. .Q ew - 1 .ir . Q g ' ' , m A I Q. , , : -, EE- In F1 lf. ' tv . , ,ffxw ,sg-', v1 3.
