ineteen eighty five-eighty six will be remembered as a year of change in the Cambria Heights high school. The greatest change took place on the administrative level with Mr. Stephen Bakajaza social studies teacher administrative assis- tant taking sick leave; then Mr. Donald Resko, who had been the high school principal for twenty-one years, also went on sick leave in October, then subsequently retired. Mr. Stephen Trovato replaced Mr. Resko while Mr. Bill Marshall became the head teacher. Other changes occurred also. More assemblies, including presen- tations on hypnosis and nuclear war, were held. Pep rallies were ex- panded to give instruction on the different sports. Student govern- ment involvement increased, too. In the classroom students found themselves taking more math and science courses because of increased state requirements. Those students who needed help improving basic skills were tutored by Mrs Jaren Powell. And often students could be heard counting 12323 because the English department emphasized Power Writing, a new program originated by Dr. J. E. Sparks, a professor from UCLA who made presentations to several classes. Also, the school board instituted a new policy on extra-curricular activities. If a student failed a course in the previous nine weeks, in- cluding the fourth quarter of the previous year, that student would be ineligible for participation in any extra activity. After some uproar, the students seemed to study harder as the failure lists decreased. Finally, January 28, 1986, a snow day, will be remembered forever because Christa McAuliffe, who represented all teachers in her pursuit of educational opportunities, died in the fiery blast of the space shuttle Challenger.
