Cream of the Crop The positions of Voledicrorion and Soiurororion were nor ones rhor were merely handed our to any set of students. These students set very high goals for themselves and they strive to reach them. Some students moy think that the honor of being a Voledictorion or a Salutotorion was completely unreachable and only a total bookworm could ever become one. Well, these kinds of ideas were close. To give you on idea of how hard it was to become a Voledictorion, you had to have straight A ' s throughout high school. The Salutotorion had to be se- cond rank out of his entire doss. This year ' s Valedictorians were Jonathan Scherer and Julie Jordan. The 1987 Salutotorion wos Brian Axe. These people were involved with mony other things besides their high school academics. For instance, Jonothon Scherer could hove also been known os the King Arthur in his port in the Choral, Comelot . This year, Jonathan was attending California State University in Son Dernordino; taking classes in Number, Theory, and Proof. Jonathan already passed his four quarter college Calculus doss, which he started in his junior year. Jonothon wos also involved in many of Cojon ' s on- campus orgonizotions. Julie Jordan was very involved with the Notional Charity League, CFS, and NHS. During her spore time, Julie liked to hike and read. After she graduated, she was going to attend University of Colifornio at Santo Dorboro. She intend- ed on majoring in either Business Ad- ministration or Low. About her lost yeor at Cojon, she hod this to soy, I am reol- ly looking forword to college ond I con not woir until high school is over. Cojon ' s 1967 Solutotorion was Brian Axe. Brian was also the President of CFS, Treasurer of SADD, and Commissioner of Activities in Student Counsil. Regordless of all this, he still found time for a job at Krueper Engineering. Brian planned on being an engineer. Although it may seem that he already hod a full schedule, he enjoyed toking regular ski trips to Mammoth. He felt that, If one conforms to his priorities in life, visions of dreoms con twist into reolity. Good luck to these future leaders of the world. Good luck to those people that wont to reach forword each time they reoch a new goal. These kinds of people were proof thot anything and everything was possible in life as long os you give oil of yourself.
