Worth BA tudents Receive alutes r' W rl ard! to Denver, been rmsxng. ,f i, , 1 .Jn ik QQ 4 'vvqt Mike Stevener One of those people to whom others automatically turned for leadership, Mike Stevener was consistently at the center of Bryan Adams life. In keeping with his undy- ing spirit and dedication, Mike saw to it that everything around him was successful. As a result of his perfectly balanced combination of a sense of humor and a sense of responsibility, Mike was elected head cheerleader. The year's pep assemblies were made unique by his soul-socking chants of Rock and Roll and Groovy, groovy, groovy and his ever-famous impersonation of Professor Ricky Ticky Timble. Devoting long hours and lasting spirit to school memories, Mike served as sports editor of the el Conquistador. He was Pres- ident of Quill and Scroll, chairman of the All Night Party Committee, and a member of the Pub staff, senior play, Key Club, and National Honor Society. In all of these ac- tivities, his fellow workers vouched for the fact that things just werenlt the same when Mike wasn't therefi The el Conquistador is proud to salute Mike Stevener. An ability to create and carry through innovative changes became apparent in Shannon McCullar. As editor- in-chief of the Cougar Crossroads, Shannon led the staff in a year marked by changes greater than that of the name and style ofa newspaper. Undergoing a change in sponsor- ship when Mrs. Anne Gillespie moved, Shannon accepted full responsibility of listening to the ebbs and flows of Bryan Adams life. New philosophies, bussing, and liberal attitudes mixed with conservative rules made Shannon's job of presenting the truth about school life to students dif- ficult, but her journalistic abilities overcame the difficul- ties. Shannonis interests and abilities extended beyond her newspaper work. As two-year co-captain of Synchir Swim, the distriet's first synchronized swim team, Shannon spent at least one night a week working with the organization. She was a member of Cothurnus Club, Spanish Club, and Senior Council. Her journalistic abilities appeared again as she worked as a humor committee chairman on the Senior Pub and as a Vice-President of Quill and Scroll. Because of her numerous contributions to Bryan Adams, the el Con- quislador is pleased to recognize Shannon McCullar. Shannon McCullar
