A two hour drive up Highway 38 to the Big Bear exit on a cool day in January finds you racing down slopes second only to Aspen. You ' re just minutes away from a historical mission and a beautiful man-made lake, and you ' re smack in the middle of one of the fastest growing communities around. Where could you be? At Mickey ' s Birthday Party? NAH! You ' re in Mission Viejo, which Capo Valley proudly calls home. Indeed the community surround- ing Capo offers attractions for all. Cruise down PCH and you could be sailing at Dana Point Harbor. Drive up the 405 and you find South Coast Plaza, where the credit card reigns. Hang a left off the Golden State Freeway at Katella and you could be spending the day at the magical world of Disney. There ' s so much available — there shouldn ' t be com- plaints that there ' s nothing to do in Mission Viejo! At Capo itself the environment ranges from AP classes to remedial programs, from stuffy portables to brand new classrooms, from an award-winning student newspaper to a CIF-caliber water polo team, and from a Rams ' cheerleader as the dance instructor to a World War II veteran as the US History expert. In a sense Capo Valley is a piece of Mission Viejo, representing differ- ent interests and strengths, offering a variety of opportunities to all. A MISSION SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, a his- torical landmark in Southern California, is a popular attraction for tourists, and a pleasant sight for residents and passers-by. • SAN CLEMENTE, 204-The after- noon reaches a close as the sun be- gins its decent toward the horizon on yet another beautiful day in Southern California. ▲ THE CALIFORNIA PROMISE- Mission Viejo is a beautiful and sportive environment for Mission Viejo resi- dents. Students used lake facilities for swimming, sailing, and sun bathing. i 1 ! « 1 ■ 1 1 wtm:- 1 !■ j im L p a iMi| MdtluMg hoiftof A J9im ► TWINKIE TURMOIL- Sophomore Rhonda Hanson steps off the morning bus in disgust. Unfortunately, many freshmen and sopho- mores had no choice but to take the bus daily to and from school. ▼ THROUGH THE ATTENDANCE CLASS- As they wait for their readmits, sophomores Lara Custis and Christy Shone double check the absence list. Impatient students formed lor lines to get their readmits in the mornings. ▲ GRABBINC A QUICK BITE- Sophoi Gina Feniello decides on lemonade a donut for breakfast. Many students prefi bagels and donuts at school over milk cereal at home. 12 Morning Activities ■ CLIMBING OUT- Freshman Robert Yamada steps out of the car at the faculty and staff parking lot. Promptly before 7:45, the parking lot was busy with traffic and the unloading of students. ▼ TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL- Senior Toney lenkins models the latest fashion in head gear before morning classes start.

At six o ' clock in the morning, all of us go through the ordeal of dragging ourselves out of bed, taking a quick shower, and deciding the difficult task of what to wear. Often times it takes miraculous feats to get our half-asleep bodies out of bed: either our parents have to literally haul us out of bed or we have to use seven billion alarm clocks to fully wake us up (and the whole neighborhood). As seven o ' clock rolls around the corner, VW Bugs and CRX ' s lurch to a screeching halt into vacant parking spaces, pairs of feet scuffle around the mall, and a mass of students be- gin the ceremonial ritual of banging and shutting lockers absentminded- ly. At this hour of the day, student life is avidly alive on campus. At the snack bar growling stomachs wait in line to buy breakfast to sustain hyper-energetic bodies until lunch. Still, others are just getting off the bus after a grueling journey on the galloping twinkle. Besides the last minute flakes who are cramming in homework and studying, others are enjoying the brief social period be- fore classes start. Says freshmen Sona Chandwani, I get here at five past seven, and after I go to my locker, I like hanging out with all my friends before it ' s time to go to class. Un- fortunately for freshmen John Kip- per, coming to school means trudg- ing through the muddy fields from Avery to school, It ' s a pain some- times when we ' re parked all the way down at Avery, then we have to walk up the slope. As the bell tolls seven forty-five ... all student life vanishes into compact rooms, where teachers at- tempt to intellectually stimulate the teenage mind . leaving lonely hall- ways and a silent mall. Morning Activities 13 . 4 So close yet so far away . . . McDonald ' s, Fast Check, Stuft Pizza, and In-n-Out are all just down the hill, but to Capo they might as well be in another gal- axy. So what do we eat for lunch? A roast beef sandwich, diet Coke, and Fun Fruits. — sophomore Stephanie Gauntner. A sip of root beer and two cookies. — fresh- man Heather Kaminski. Left-over fried chick- en and a diet 7-Up. — junior Stefanie Chan- dler. A green chili burrito, caffeine-free diet Pepsi, and a Kudos bar. — senior Simon Miller. PB J and a HiC lem- onade. — sophomore Janet Choi. Pizza, four chocolate milks, and three cook- ies. — sophomore Drue Schafer. A pastrami sandwich, pineapple juice, chocolate vanilla swirl Jeilo pudding, tortilla chips, and an apple. — junior Ron Cadiz. 14 Lunch ▲ LEAVING SO SOON? — Mr. Vel- derrain checks for passes at the sen- ior parking lot exit as a lone car leaves before lunch. ► WHAT ' S GOING ON? - The lunch-time crowd in the mail gath- ers to watch a spirit activity. ■ THIS IS INTERESTING — Sopho- more Matt Mosebrook and fresh- man Marcus Jenkins participate in a Homecoming spirit activity as senior Heather Solliday directs traffic. ▼ PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE - Junior Tasha Swain pays for her lunch as the people behind her await their turn. I DON ' T HAVE A STRAW - Ju- Mark Walsh uses a spoon to drink his Ocean spray Cran-Rasp- berry juice. iV ( T JUST A TAD HUNGRY - Caught ' in an awkward pose, junior Nicole I Sicotte devours her lunch. _ CiaLed coMpui = homlm, Uiailo, cud kcluod food L unch is my favorite subject, said math teacher Pete Wilt. It seems that the student body agrees. But why is lunch so popular when all there is to do is eat, socialize, cram for that history test, and people-watch? Senior Aimee Masgai found that watching Ryck Daniels do the chicken walk in the planter by the choir room and watching people suck on each other ' s lips was pretty interesting. While Aimee depended on people-watching for en- tertainment during the lunch hour, others found different ways to amuse themselves. I threw an or- ange over the railing and hit someone on the head, said junior Scott Valley. Sophomore Hillary Man- sur, on the other hand, had some fun with a mustard packet. I accidently squished it and got mustard all over my hair and my new outfit, she said. Oranges and mustard didn ' t appeal to senior Alan Chemers, however. I scam on the girls, he said. But while Chemers found checking out the chicks to be a worthy activity, senior Billy Martinez found it diffi- cult to notice the girls through the trash. If the students had any respect for the school they would take care of their own trash. The trash cans aren ' t there for decorations, he said. Junior Laurie Bloomberg echoed this sentiment when she said, The construction workers must think we ' re pigs. Every day there ' s a ton of trash in front of the rally stage and once in a while there ' s something splattered on the windows. Complaints were also many and loud when one mentioned the quality of the school food. The burritos look like a baby ' s dirty dia- per, said junior Kathleen Wickert. So what ' s the solution to boredom, trash, and gross cafeteria food? Open cam- pus? Not a chance! But sen- ior Tiffany Crosswy had one last plea for the Lost Cause. Del Taco and Winchell ' s both went out of business after they closed the cam- pus, she said. Shouldn ' t we have some sympathy for the business community that supports our education? 15 V ' ▲ LENDING A HAND - Senior ► TAKING A BREAK - A group of Grace Rhee hands a parent volun- freshmen cronies — Michelle Bet- teer money for a ticket.

Well, you should have gone to the football dances! It was pretty fun, said freshman Leslie Santos. The football dances, sponsored by ASB, started last year and ever since, their popularity has in- creased. An average of 500 students attended each dance held at the mail. Freshman Gayla Zahrad- nik said, I think they ' re really great because I came from a small private school where they had no dances. It ' s a great way to meet new people. An undecisive sopho- more Cindy Cha chipped in, They ' re ok . . ., they ' re pretty fun, I suppose. The dances offered a free slice of pizza and a can of coca-cola, but junior Tere- sa Doesburg grumbled, The pizza was cold, the coke was warm, and the music got boring after a while. In addition, another ju- nior, Shannell Sedgwick complained, They say it ' s free pizza and coke, but we still have to pay to get in. As far as the music was concerned, DJs played a variety of songs ranging from Guns ' n Roses, to Salt ' n Pepa, to songs by UB40 and Whitney Houston. Rap music was especially popu- lar. It got the students rockin ' and gettin ' down to the beat; while many cab- bage patchers and robo- coppers showed off their funky moves. To improve the dances, sophomore Trish Grefe suggested, They should play more Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, and New Or- der. But other than that, it was pretty fun. Also, freshman Cindy Day observed, The dance would have been better if they didn ' t have the smoke effect fogging up every- body ' s eyes. Overall, the football dances were a popular al- ternative for students after the game. LITTLE DARLINGS- Rob Villanueva and )u- lie Mai dress up -as little kids un the sopho- more float.

Quern I mowmg imw i bwwh up ui (tw fafs id you hear the pop of bubbles exploding at Homecoming? |X For Shelley Welsh, her bubble burst when Dr. Edmund Mar- tinez, dressed as a clown (because of the Greatest Show on Earth theme), popped a black balloon, and orange balloons floated out indicating Shelley was Home- coming Queen. But for the Capo football team, its bubble burst when the Dana Hills Dolphins kicked a last second field goal to deflate the Cougars 9-7. Even though Capo lost to Dana Hills for the first time there were some happy mo- ments for Queen Shelley. I was expecting them to announce Bridget Dawson, said Queen Shelley, It just didn ' t seem real when Dr. Mar- tinez popped the black balloon and or- ange balloons floated out! Shelley ' s dad was surprised, too. My dad was excited and was really happy for me! And how does it feel to be Home- coming Queen? It feels great and I don ' t have to act different; I can act like myself. While Homecoming was exciting for Shelley, for the Capo football team, it was far from thrilling. The game was infamous and every- one will remember it because it was the first time we lost to Dana, said Varsity football player, Pete LaFlamme. Even though the game turned out to be a disappointment, it also helped. 1 think that the game was kind of a motiva- tor for the season because after that, we turned it around for the El Toro game, said LaFlamme. Contributing to the loss according to Steve DeLaura were distractions be- cause of Homecoming. We weren ' t as focused as we should have been. Doug Bame agreed they needed to be more focused, but also said they tiiileii lu execute. The offense couldn ' t gf ! iny- thing going and it was embarrassing. Even though the game was a disap- pointment there were some pleasant as- pects. 1 feel it was the nicest Homecoming, said Dr. Edmund Martinez, Activities Di- rector, Everything went as expected! While Dr. Martinez was happy with the school spirit demonstrated, that ' s not to say he was completely satisfied. As far as future homecomings my goal is to get more students involved with the floats. In addition to boosting school spirit. Dr. Martinez felt something else was ac- complished. People can now see that 1 am a clown. All your suspicions have been proven: I am a clown! ■ A HAPPY CLOWN- Carrie Taylor flashes a smile while selling goodies to the hung ry crowd at the hon-iecoming game.

There he lands, distributing gifts and treats to all the good little boys and girls. Perhaps Linus should change his assessment. One would have been hard- pressed to find a more sincere cele- bration of Halloween than the one that took place in the mall at Capo as the drama department staged a haunted house. We had a maze, a torture cham- ber complete with a guillotine and a whipping post, a cemetery, and an insane asylum. said drama teacher Keith Lockhart. Students wandered through the different rooms where they met were by every form of ghoulishness known to the living — or dead. I was like a ghost, said sopho- more Julie Mai. I jumped out from behind and screamed at people — kinda like the way Mr. Lockhart does when he ' s teaching class. But while Mai said that haunting can be fun, she admitted that it was not without its hazards. I scared this one girl and she screamed and accidentally punched me in the chest! she explained. Scared students wreaked havoc on sets as well as spirits. Some peo- ple even knocked down a wall when they got scared. said senior Erin Pipes, who wandered through the maze jumping out at wary wander- Still, according to Pipes, while it was scarier than in previous years, not everyone felt frightened. The freshmen were really scared, but the seniors mostly thought it was stupid. she said. What the house lacked in horror, however, it made up for in gore as blood and guts abounded in the lab- oratory of mad scientist Andy Bos- well. I sat there with blood on my hands. I had these fake intestines, asking people if they wanted any. Boswell explained. While no one acce pted Boswell ' s offer to feast on a piece of the hu- man digestive system, almost 130 students did accept an offer to tour- ing the house for a dollar a pop I think it was pretty successful, said Mr. Lockhart, Especially since it was only open during seventh pe- riod and most of the kids at school had already gone home, i don ' t know how many were really scared, but some said it was worth a dollar. So Linus, even if you do think paying a dollar to go through a haunted house amounts to nothing more than a cheap thrill, you have to admit the effort was sincere. So next Halloween, bring your blanket over to the mall, because if he ' s even half the squash you think he is, there ' s no way the Great Pumpkin can pass us up. ■4 THE MAN IN THE MASK - Sen- ior Jeff Zorro Atwood motions for his sword, probably to bring justice to those who cut in the lunch lines.

On Friday, Oct. 14, the ASB office was jam- packed with boxes of KIIS FM cards, ready to be sent down to the radio station that afternoon. Although the aspect of winning it- self generated spirit throughout the student body, it was rumored that teachers offered extra credit to their classes to encourage their students to participate in the contest. When asked about his views regarding ex- tra credit as a way to promote spirit. Principal Tom Anthony replied, If it doesn ' t take away from instructional time and homework, and if the teachers use it in a positive way to build pride and spirit in our school, then I support it. In spite of turning in 400,000 en- tries and losing the first place to Gra- nada Hills only by 150 cards. Capo Valley proved itself to be a school of spirit and pride. Although disap- pointed by our loss, freshmen Lisa Bolton says, As disappointing as it was to lose by such a small differ- ence, I think it gave us incentive to work harder next year for first place. As the KIIS FM contest kicked off a great start for the Cougar year, other pep activities promoted our spirit. Football game attendance was marked off with strong numbers of supporters from the students, par- ents, and faculty. The pep rallies staged at the stadium encouraged all classes to be involved in our school ' s top-ranking sports teams. And with social science teacher, Mr. Hoff- man ' s traditional spirit pep rally, our Cougar football team won an impor- tant victory over El Toro. Spirit 25 ?

Do guys really hate it as much as they claim or are they just hiding their shop- ping obsession for fear of clouding up their macho image? Junior Ian Brown openly admitted, I like shopping and I also don ' t mind going with my girlfriend. In contrast, freshman Jor- dan Wiley complains, ' I don ' t like shopping and I don ' t like shopping with girls, either. What ' s wrong with shop- 36 ping with your girlfriend? Could it be that some guys are too embarrassed and would rather go by them- selves or with other male friends? Shopping with friends is o.k. but one thing that ' s a definite no is the sugges- tion of Mom tagging along. Who goes shopping with their parents? Plenty, obvi- ously because after all. Mom ' s got the credit cards! Speaking of money, senior Jorje Soto relates this embar- rassing moment, I was about to pay the sales clerk when I realized I didn ' t have my money with me. Sound familiar? This has happened to many people. Or how about when just as you leave the store, the alarm goes off ringing so loud that it feels like your ears are about to fall off? And besides that, people are looking at you like you just stole something. Freshman Nick Lawlor remembers, Just as I was walking out of Radio Shack, their stupid alarm went off. Another shopping exper- ience related by junior Daryn Peterson, is one he ' ll never forget, When I was in the dressing room, an old lady accidentally walked in just as I pulled down my pants. Whew! Talk about embarrassing! Another folly happened to Pepe Pedraza. I was walking in the store and 1 accidental- ly knocked over a manne- quin. I thought it was real. So, do guys like shopping? Well, as long as mom stays at home and strange ladies stay out of dressing rooms, or if somebody else pays, then the answer is . . . yes!!

I i ► IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! - Principal Tom Anthony manages to contain his well- known sense of humor after some anony- mous pranksters attempted to paint his famous green Porsche with toilet paper. ▼ TERRORISTS BOMB LOCAL OUT- HOUSE? — No! Merely TPers of the night who got carried away. Many students had TPing down to an art while those who were less fortunate and got caught had to clean up the dreaded mess. Dmt iqujsizc tU CluxnmM,, covm a luxue uiittt it! ro most people plastic forks, toilet paper, and Oreo cook- ies are just items on a shop- ping list. But to a teenager, such items are just begging to be used for pranks. Just ask senior Jen Sparano. To Jen and her friends a plastic fork is not just an eating utensil but a four- pronged implement of mayhem. During Christmas vacation around one o ' clock in the morning two or three of my friends went to the all-night Alpha Beta and bought about 1,000 plastic forks. We stuck all of them in our other friend ' s lawn and when she walked out of the house in the morning she freaked . . . and so did her parents! Forks aren ' t the only item on a prankster ' s shopping list, though. A four-pack of Charmin can easily turn a house into Mr. Whipple ' s dream castle. Senior Katherine MacDonald agrees: When my house got toilet- papered that one time I didn ' t really care because I knew it was a joke. I kind of thought it was funny because I always used to do the same thing myself! Even an innocent child ' s snack can be used to wipe out a house. And who ' s that kid with the Oreo cook- ie? How about junior Karin Saka- hara? We opened up the Oreos and stuck them on my friend ' s garage door just for the heck of it! she said with a grin. Sometimes, though, a prankster ' s tools won ' t be found in the express lane, but in the fast lane. Senior Me- lissa Kroll says, Brenda Himes, Mi- chele Rogers, and I took a dozen or- ange roadblock cones to Canyon Crest and dropped them on peo- ple ' s lawns and driveways just for a kick. Besides playing jokes on strangers and each other, students also en- joyed pulling pranks on their es- teemed educators. Chemistry teach- er Lyn Harvey relates this incident: Some of my students one night completely ruined my house. They covered my cactus with toilet paper and put a foot of shredded newspa- per on my front lawn. They also boarded up the doors and windows so I couldn ' t get out. Obviously pranks have become more sophisticated and have gradu- ated from the ranks of egging mail- boxes and buses to more deadly practical jokes. Traditional weapons like tacks and eggs have given way to more creative artillery, paving the way for unpredictable pranks of all kinds. So beware, because the joke may be on you! 4 YOUR MOTHER DRESSES YOU FUNNY — Forced to go to school in her birthday suit, junior Josea Walkingstick is a victim of one of the series of birthday kidnappings at Capo.

When I was a freshman I got an office referral for lighting a match in Mr. Panici ' s class, said sen- ior Bill Montebello. On a grimmer note, however, more serious offenders are assigned either detention or Saturday school ▲ IT WASN ' T ME! - Sophomore Andy Bos- well gets shafted for something he claims he didn ' t do. In the words of his teacher, Stu- dents ' never do anything wrong. for deviating from the law. Freshman Aaron Dak got in trouble for going to Fast Check the short way: My friend jumped the fence and got away, but Mr. Jeisy caught me and gave me a detention. Similiarly, junior Joanna Joyce also tried to take a short cut: I got a Saturday school for parking in the senior lot. The proctors thought I was a senior and I just mumbled something about forgetting my ID each time, but they caught on after a while. More commonly, though, stu- dents got Saturday schools for exces- sive tardies, ditching, and forging notes. I got caught for ditching and for forging a note. I would have got- ten away v )ith it except I put the wrong date on the note, lamented junior Linde Shoaf. Does the punishment always fit the crime? Sophomore Jennifer Denish doesn ' t think so. It ' s not fair that we get five hours of Saturday school for being a few minutes late to class! And is ditching worth five long hours in Saturday school? Most don ' t think so, either. Said junior Lisa Crank, I ' d do it again, but I ' d just make sure that I didn ' t get caught again— Saturday school is hell on earth! Most students would agree with her assessment of Saturday school. And most would also agree that while they feel bad for someone who gets in trouble, there ' s no greater feeling of relief than when Mr. Velderrain comes in with his clipboard . . . and calls out someone else ' s name!

There ' s Mock Trial for aspiring lawyers, Kiwanis Bowl for trivia buffs, and FBLA for the Donald Trump in all of us. There ' s a bike club for cyclists, orchestra and band for musicians, and dance production for would-be Rogers and Astaires. All of the clubs and organizations kept busy with a calendar full of activities. CSF travelled to UCSD in No- vember and also sponsored the canned food drive and the talent show. Art Experience visited the Newport Har- bor Art Museum and painted the Homecoming mural. The Peer Assistance League once again sponsored the Red Ribbon Week, Drama Club went to see the taping of It ' s Gary Shandling ' s Show, and the marching united continued to reap top honors at competitions. Overall dullness was clubbed out of anyone ' s mind who wanted to participate in these activities, and school was routine only by choice. 48 Clubs and Organizations THE NUMBERS GAME — Senior Carrie Taylor and £1 Cafo Editor-in-Chief Chrissy Richards review an old yearbook to see how to tape off the number 89 on the bleachers for the senior class photo. ■ TRYIN ' TIMES - At try-outs for the fall play.

Advisor Jay Sponagle replied, Yeah, they save your life. The Bike Club ' s primary goal was to promote biking and safety. Hel- mets were required, bikes were checked for malfunctions and safety procedures for cyclists were fol- lowed. The Bike Club was founded by Mr. Sponagle because many students displayed an interest in cycling. They kept asking about forming a club, so we did. In its smooth fourth year, the Bike Club had members like senior Heather Bickford who liked to ride bikes because it ' s good exercise and it ' s also fun. 50 Croauet Bike T LAST MINUTE CHECKING - Fresh- man Shayne Shearer double checks his brakes for malfunctions.

These athletes play croquet and of- fer the school their services. Advisor Lord Cipe said, We ' re basically a school service club. We ' re here to help out anybody with whatever en- deavors they have. Besides playing croquet and help- ing out with certain activities, this club also allows these senior athletes to be together and enjoy their last year at Capo. It ' s a good way to keep the guys together after our season of football, said Premier Craig Mash- burn. ► HAMMERING A HIT - Craig Mashburn watches as Marc Shulga steadies his mallet before hitting the wooden ball.

CSF offers students the opportunity to become involved with school and other students. CSF has helped me to be more social. I enjoy being in- volved with other things be- sides just school work, said ju- nior Ron Cadiz. CSF also gives students an outlet for their extra energy and creativity. The officers and club members kept busy with the canned food drive, Christmas flowergram sales, college trips, and the main event- the mid- spring talent show. In addition to the extra activities, the pro- gram still promoted academic excellence. Advisor Paul Lane said, I like being involved with the club members. We try to keep stu- dents aware of upcoming schol- arships; but also, CSF helps stu- dents work in groups success- fully and develop into success- ful citizens. Preparing for the future is often on the minds of college-bound high schoolers. I think the college trips are the most important part of CSF. They give students an opportu- nity to find out what to prepare for, said first - semester presi- dent Laura Wu. I also like what it represents- academic excel- lence and the encouragement of students. r: - A CREATIVE MIND AT WORK - Sophomore Terri Chen paints post- ers to publicize the talent show.

At exactly 11:47 a.m., massive hordes of students surge to the cafe- teria, and the mad dash to the lunch lines has just begun. Meanwhile, a mild-mannered group of kids pull out of the parking lot, ready to eat out for lunch. Why? Because they ' re rebelling against school policies? No . . . these students are part of the Capo-Laguna Beach Regional Occu- pational Program - a program de- signed to provide students with the basic skills required for a job. According to Capo ' s ROP Career Center Technician, Ms. Barbara Raht, ROP offers more than practi- cal, vocational skills. It allows stu- dents to discover their interests by exploring different career areas. Indeed, ROP presents a vast vari- ety of classes, ranging from animal science occupations to trade and in- dustry. In fact, said junior Tammy Folsom of the commercial floristry class, It ' s taught me how to save and manage money in a business, and by learning flower arrangement, I was promoted into the floristry depart- ment at my original job. In addition, senior Heather Bick- ford enrolled in the nursing assis- tant ' s class to become more familiar with the medical field. Says Bickford, I ' ve received my CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) after completing internship, which allows me to work at a convalescent hospital. However, not all students take ROP merely for means of career ex- ploration. In fact, this year ' s most popular class, graphics and offset printing, includes senior Chad Wil- liams whose career plans are geared toward engineering. Then why the ROP class? Because it gives me practical credits to graduate, and it ' s a fun senior class where all my friends are!

Divorce Court? L.A. Law? Nope — it ' s Mock Trial, Capo-style. Mock Trial is a competition team that studies a ficticious legal case and presents it in a real court set- ting in front of a real judge against other high schools. This year the case concerned a high school stu- dent accused of selling drugs and inducing a minor to take drugs. We wanted something more in- tense, like murder, said sopho- more Leona Robbins, who por- trayed the witness Jesse Anderson, but the case was pretty relevant. Studying the merits of the case and rehearsing the lines is one thing, but the actual presentation itself is an entirely different story. I was scared out of my mind, said senior Carol Marinelli, who was one of the principle witnesses for the prosecution, and I almost sat down on top of the desk instead of in the witness stand. I was afraid of being eaten up by the opposing attorneys, added senior Ben Lloyd, one of the de- fense attorneys, or that I would miss an objection, or even worse yet, misobject. Despite the fears and the butter- flies, the team won two of its three competitions. We won Round III so decisively and got so many points that we were sure we were going on (in the competition), said advisor Jewel Kamita. The kids were celebrating on the bus on the way home from the courthouse. The top sixteen teams in the competition advanced to Round IV. Capo finished 17th. When you come that close, it ' s a pretty big downer, said junior Mi- chelle Heller, who portrayed the defendant Chris Willow. Even though it wasn ' t a fairy-tale ending, Mock Trial as a positive ex- perience for all involved. I learned that it ' s tough to be a lawyer, but it ' s interesting, said Ben Lloyd. And if you ' re prepared and know what you ' re doing, then it can be a lot of fun. It ' s a lesson for life. 56 Mock Trial J • ASKING FOR SOME POINTERS - After the conclusion of thie trial, senior Gary DeWulf consults the judge for some advice on his performance. ▼ THE WHOLE TRUTH — Senior Ben Lloyd plays out his part as a defense lawyer during the trial.

The HERO club, run by Mrs. Gay Veeh as an extension of her child develop- ment class, allows students to learn what it takes to deal with children, says Mrs. Gay Veeh, It also teaches a lot about working together with other peo- ple. Senior Shea Jones, rated the club A definitely good experience. Another club that is a good exper- ience is PAL. Pal is the abbreviation of Peer Assistance League, and it was de- veloped to foster the development of peer counciling skills, said Adviser Jan Pluemacher. The club develops these skills through campaigns such as the Red Ribbon campaign and the Hugs Not Drugs campaign which focused on the club ' s excursion to Castile to talk to sixth graders about the harmful effects of drugs. Advisor Jan Pluemacher stated, 1 know that this will not be for everyone, but if it helps just a few kids it was worth- while. So if you didn ' t know before, this is what it takes to be a PAL or a HERO.

Members of both clubs in- clude students already enrolled in the classes as well as others outside the art department who choose to join themselves. Headed by advisor and teacher Mr. Jay Sponagle, the primary func- tion of the ceramics club is to raise funds to purchase supplies for the ceramics classes. In other words, all profits from the organization ' s ac- tivities go toward purchases in the students ' best interests. In fact, during the Christmas sea- son, the club held a major, successful project by selling Christmas orna- ments and earning ov er eight hun- dred dollars to purchase raku kilns, ceramics tools, and special exotic glazes, all upon student requests. President senior Tammy Robert- son said, Ceramics is fun as a class and as a club; we learn a lot, even if it isn ' t an academic course. just a few doors down the hallway, the art experience club is also busy with hands working and flying, put- ting together art work for individual portfolios. According to advisor Mrs. Holly Smirl, the students in art ex- perience are dedicated and highly motivated. In fact, seniors such as Shelley Welsh and Sophia Kollias, who are considering the art industry for a profession, are in the process of putting together a portfolio, a col- lection of their art works often pre- sented when applying for art-related scholarships and jobs. Others like Traci Skeen and Laura Hamry enjoy the club merely to share ideas and new techniques with Ms. Smirl and other classmates. 1 A ART EXPERIENCE CLUB — Top row: Mike Mills, Coergiana Brunner, )ames Davis, Mark Hubert, )eff Salbato, Jennifer LaFevre, Karen Rose, Nikki Lenning, Mrs. Holly Smirl.

It ' s spring, students kick off their shoes and shed those socks, for spring fever strikes again. And, of course, during that time of the year, Madame Henderson and her group of French club members take their annual trip to Los Angeles, this year to see Les Miserables. Yes, this field trip marks the major event of the French club, an activity which club members especially look forward to. During the rest of the year, the members met at least once a month to take advantage of the thirty-five minute lunch period and socialize in French. The main objective of the French club is to gather French stu- dents together to learn more about France and its culture. According to advisor Mrs. Henderson, The club tries to bring an awareness of French customs and traditions to students without the use of textbooks and homework. The club also tries to arouse community interest in French related events, such as historical tra- ditions. It ' s a place for people who desire to speak and learn French to come together, said President Maha Najm. The club works together, whether it be a meal at a French res- taurant or a helpful tutor session, the members are friendly and cooperat- ive with each other. In all, the club aspires to achieve more in the future by encouraging more students and faculty members to participate. 62 Science French ► THE FRENCH DON ' T LOSE THEIR COOL — Mrs. M.C. Henderson and sophomores So- nia Martin and Amy Dorman definitely main- tain their cool while holding a conversation Tup (bmjMk voMiik Non-participation of the members led to the dispersement of the science club, claims senior Alan Paul, presi- dent of the now defunct club. Originally an organization of twenty- five members including officers, the science club promoted opportunities for students to experience science through wildlife and outdoor field trips. According to Vice President Pe- ter Hartman, The club gave members opportunities to experience nature, which might ' ve sparked an interest as a career goal. Perhaps the outings might have attracted some students to ex- plore more in to the field, but for the time being, Catalina Island was as close to nature as they came. In the mean time, other trips such as one to Yosem- ite, await to be fulfilled. SCIENCE CLUB — Top row: Dave Rondinone, Deepak Cinandwani, Peter Ramirez, Jason Juha, Charles Cha, Aaron Brown.

This competition was organized into ten sections, each testing a different aspect of the growing student. Today, this competition is called: Academic Decathlon. In order to be chosen for academic decathlon, coach Ken Sayles stated you have to be a well-rounded student. Well-rounded in academic decathlon means being an expert in ten areas: fine arts, literature language. Algebra 11 trigonometry, geography, economics, applied science, speeches, interviews, and the presidency. To prepare for these subjects, the team spends four months sacrificing four lunches a week. The hardest thing to do is to juggle lunch and regular school while you ' re cramming for competi- tions , said senior Cutie Lee, and Mr. Sayles practically xeroxed a new text- book for us to learn. But after all that hard work, Lee said, The competitions were sort of a let down after all the practice because once you ' re there you can only do your best. Even though the competitions were difficult, You get to go up against the best , said senior Jennifer Saporito. Even among the best the junior senior team finished in the top ten in the regionals and advanced to the finals where they finished 16th. Unfortunately, the seniors on the team cannot return to compete next year, but they can leave with the knowledge that they were one of the best teams Capo ever fielded in aca- demic competition. 64 Academic Decathlon Academic Decathlon 65 I ead m, deaSm, b(j m: Paw PtiMtl ffbffls k cM. eadlines!

Working on the yearbook staff enabled us to complete the awe- some task of producing an abso- lutely Capo yearbook, underbud- get and with a profit. Our mission was to captLire the essence of the entire student body, faculty, and staff with an accurate account of all aspects of high school life. With Bret Barrett as the new ad- visor, and only 16 staff members to represent the whole school, we had to give 200% of our time and effort (and that was just to put up with Mr. Barrett ' s jokes and Re- venge of the Nerds laugh.) Dead- lines forced us to stay at school ' til the sun went down, and Mr. Bar- rett kept us going on popcorn and pizza and his singing, which made us work faster so we could leave and be spared. Leaving when the bell rang was considered A.W.O.L. Last year ' s advisor, Karen Winn, was full of smiles as she went home ear- ly to lead a normal life. It was almost impossible to maintain a job out- side of school, much less do home- work or remain sane. For those of us who had Mr. Wilt, we just laughed when he said, Math Is your life, because we all knew that yearbook was our life. As a result of everyone ' s time and creative input, things began to fall in place and the pressure eased. Mr. Barrett got to spend time with his family, and co-editor Janet Chen began smiling again (we were thinking of sending her to see Dr. Wally.) Thanks so much to the staff — you ' re fabulous! And, thanks to Jostens ' rep Steve Wagner for showing us the ropes. From the en- tire staff, our deepest appreciation (and sympathy) to Bret Barrett — you ' re mondo-bitchen.

The outlook of competitions for the pep squad are very positive. However, its members would also like to have a positive, spirited stu- dent body.

To do so, the club planned tailgate par- ties, ice cream socials, and made up cheers and stunts for the games.

OK, let ' s take it from opener and run it through twice! With that command, 150 bodies began to move around the field in precise formations, boasting instru- ments, flags, rifles, or pom poms. Diverse talents make up the marching units, which consist of band, colorguard, and drill team, and ultimate- ly contributes to a close ca- maderie that is unequalled by any other organization on campus. The best thing about band is the friendships that come out of it, said sopho- more Sheri Burkholder. The people on colorguard are my best friends. While friendship was a key to the unity of the band as a big, happy family, it was the long hours of practices that made this marching sea- son a success. The grueling sessions began in the sum- mer and continued through- out the school year, 2-3 hours a day, no exceptions. We practiced in all weather, said Co-Drum Major Jill Taylor. When it rains, the water drains down from the soccer fields, so we ' re out there sloshing around in a mud pit. You can ' t side-step the mud, ei- ther. If it ' s a part of the drill, you go right through it! Suffering through the whim of Mother Nature and Director Lynn Olinger ulti- mately paid off for the marching units, however, as they took sweepstakes hon- ors at the El Modena compe- tition and just barely missed the top award at the Royal Simi Valley Tournament. At their competitions, the band was judged on show content and execution in both musi- cality and marching. It ' s a neat feeling when it finally clicks and everyone around you is making mu- sic, said junior Jeremy Ol- son. When the performance is over, added Co-Drum Ma- jor Ciaran Foley, it ' s an in- credible feeling that we ' ve accomplished something.

That ' s the band. The jazz band, symphonic band, and concert band make up the band. But as with every family, prob- lems will arise. Lynn Olinger, the band conduc- tor, explains, It gets a little frustrat- ing when you have to take care of every one of the students prob- lems. But with the many problems there are also many positive things that come out of such a big family. My students are getting great training for team work for the fu- ture, Olinger said. Band students have put a lot of time and effort into this extra curricular activity. With this effort Olinger hopes the stu- dents, Will get a good sense of themselves and reality. Also, to de- velop confidence and ability to know they ' ll always make it! The students mostly work by themselves but this does not mean they aren ' t a team. Without team ef- fort the band could not be a com- plete family. Sometimes when one is on their own they tend to stray from the subject matter, but in the band that hardly ever happens. So much time and effort is spent in the band it ' s a wonder how high school students can stay in the pro- gram. Jill Taylor explains why she does, it ' s not just the music it ' s the people. Everyone knows everyone. When you come to class someone will know you! But with the feeling of security in this close knit family there is also another feeling that emerges. That feeling is accomplishment. Olinger explains, If a student has been in the band all four years, it is a very rewarding feeling for that sen- ior. It means he or she is a very dedi- cated person. One thing Olinger wanted his students to know was that I ' ll always be there! After all, isn ' t that what a family is there for?

Orchestra members spent many hours of class time for their performances. rchestra Is like a special family i J— with great musical talent! V But what exactly is Orchestra all about? Orchestra is a performance group, Mr. Lynn Olinger explains. We work in large groups and small ensembles. Orchestra takes every single person all the time — every second. The sound really comes through with a total team effort. While Orchestra is a group, it is for the individual too. Students have to be responsible and be on their own. We try to function as a family. They have allegiance to each other, Mr. Olinger said. Four year Orchestra member Azita Karimkhany feels the same way. We ' re all pretty much a big family and we have close ties. Sophomore Branden Muresan feels there are many highlights of Orchestra. I like travelling and per- forming because I look out on all the people and it ' s a trip to know they ' re enjoying my music — that ' s the best, he said. I love to play. It makes me feel good to share my gift with everyone. Mr. Olinger believes that, Instru- mental music students have a firm grip on reality. Any kid who comes out of my class will make it. Most everyone in Orchestra agrees that they should get more re- spect and recognition for their hard work. The school should realize that Orchestra is all top-notch stu- dents, Mr. Olinger stated. Branden sums it all up by saying, Orchestra is a great thing to be in, the discipline and the things I learn in Orchestra will stick with me the rest of my life. 78 Orchestra Long, Cia Lugo, Philip Tawil, Don Lee.

So if your blood is sluggish and you ' re feeling low, join the camerata, tapes- try and mixed choir. They learn how to appreciate different kinds of mu- sic and also get a chance to sing it. All three levels of choir perform at concerts, special occasions such as Christmas, and at handicapped foun- dations. Singing for the handi- capped people makes me realize how lucky I am. Also, it makes me feel happy when I know 1 can help them in some way, says Leslie Man- uel, president of Camerata. Swain also added These experiences are going to make good memories. But when a concert or performance isn ' t going on, the choir spends much of its time practicing and learning new and old music. During class the students learn the songs and notes. At the beginning of class, Mr. Nickel leads them in a vo- cal exercises to strengthen their voices. He also teaches expression and they work on a dance routine. A lot of time is involved but Leslie Manuel doesn ' t mind. She explains, If it means taking time to spend on it to make it right it ' s well worth it! Camerata isn ' t the only level that is putting a tremendous amount of time. The tapestry and mixed choir do too. The tapestry is another perform- ing choir. They do the same things as camerata. There are 21 girls involved in the program. The mixed choir consists of 16 girls and no guys. Where are the guys, you ask? Well, there aren ' t any. One would think any guy would jump at the chance to see 16 girls every day during third period. But they haven ' t. Maybe next year guys will think about it. ▲ TUNE UP TIME- Star class in warm-ups in the Camerata Choir ▲ NOT AGAIN - Cheri Siebert and Heather Thornton practice singing in class.

Cutie Lee ' s comment clearly sums up the atmosphere of FBLA. A nationally recognized orga- nization, the Future Business Leaders of America reach out as a civic ser- vice group to teach business leader- ship and business oriented values. This goal is reached with much en- thusiasm by its members and adviser Diana Pietrantoni ' s support. As ad- viser, she recommends future busi- ness majors join this group to learn about competition in areas such as accounting, business law, entrepre- neurship, and public speaking, all done in a stimulating way. Contrary to popular belief, FBLA members have fun at competitions due to the fun sessions, workshops, speakers, and vibrant dances. And since the competitions are usually away at such places as La Palma and San Fran- cisco, the excitement is doubled. As a result, Mrs. Pietrantoni ' s walls are decorated with awards of excel- lence in various subjects of the Sec- tional and State competitions. This year, eleven members received awards in different categories and placed third among the fifty-two schools who competed in the South- ern Sectional Competition.

Although Drill Team mainly in- volves dance competitions, the girls learn much more. It is a good ex- perience that kind of relates to school because I memorize things better and I ' m not so embarrassed to get up in front of everyone, junior Jenny Palmer said. Drill team is good for me to ex- press myself. I like the people I ' ve met, said sophomore Cindy Velez. I want people to know that we are really hard working and whatever we accomplish we really try for. The team has had no major down- falls. The girls have really turned around and we are more together and organized this year, Miss Ela said. Their achievements motivate them. I like seeing the bubbling en- ergy of all the girls.

Students in the class have class to get their blood flowing. to practice to make everything perfect. 5-6-7-8 , juMp, kid his year is by far the best dance company we ' ve had, Miss Sharon Faeta, the dance in- structor explains. Not only are they all extremely talented individually, but they are a cohesive group that collectively produces brilliant creativity. But all this credit doesn ' t go to the dancers, h also should go to Miss Faeta. Miss Faeta guides us in the right direc- tion, says senior FHeather Bryant. But she doesn ' t just point you in the right direction and let you go. Senior Ryck Daniels added, Miss Faeta is also very supportive. To her students. Miss Faeta is much more than a teacher, she ' s a friend who is always available. She of- fers her time for early morning practices to develop dances. The practices start at 7:00 a.m. and last through first period. Students in the class choreograph their own dances, then teach the steps to the class. After a couple of days of learning the steps, an audition is held. From there the choreographer and Miss Faeta decide which students have cap- tured the style and mood of the dance and select them to perform it. That means that not every student makes ev- ery dance. You can be crazy or mellow and there ' s always at least one dance that fits your personality, says Bryant. Junior Michelle Weiner added, There ' s so many varieties of styles that they are sometimes awkward and hard to pick up. Some of the girls in the class find some of the steps difficult, but for Ryck Dan- iels, Jason Swain, and Paul McCormack, it has to be extremely challenging. it ' s a real challenge to myself. It takes guts to be in the class because some guys give me slack, but that ' s their problem, says first-year dancer Paul McCormack. Daniels also added, It turned out to be more athletic than I thought it was. But through all the challenging times the guys have the dancers and Miss Faeta for support. Even though the guys may feel a little stressed at times, it may help to know they all are an inspiration to the company. The guys add such ambition and en- thusiasm to the dance company, says Faeta. Of the company overall, Faeta says, It ' s been a pleasure watching the company develop its skill and confi- dence. 86 Dance Production A WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE - Jason Swain, Ryck Daniels, and Paul McCormack practice their dance steps.

If you are a person for fun — TV show tapings, pizza parties, and visits to amusement parks, here ' s a club for you! The drama clubs are not only for the Theatre-Arts buff, but for those who like to have fun within the area of drama without having to act. As Mr. Lockhart put it, The dra- ma clubs are for all Capo students who want to be accepted because drama kids are real accepting of peo- ple who want to belong. Within the Theatre Arts depart- ment, Mr. Lockhart offers three types of clubs- The Drama Club, The Thespian Troupe, and The Supper Club. In the Drama Club, people who participate are in it for the fun. The club focuses on parties, TV show tapings, theme parks and fun- draisers. This club has club officers, everyone from president to a fund raising planner. The International Thespian Soci- ety is a world wide student theatre organization which emphasizes the art of acting. This club is mainly for those who like to act and participate in school productions. This troupe centers around acting in the com- munity, like going to other schools to perform. The members attend re- treats and conventions in order to improve their acting skills. This club also has club officers of president, V. P. Historian, and secretary trea- surer. The Supper Club is for students who like to get together and attend various performing arts, such as plays, musicals, and operas. Perfor- mances such as Les Miserables, Evita, and Bus Stop were attend- ed. The club offers no officers nor duties, just the price of dinner and a show for a group of interested stu- dents. •4 READY FOR DUTY - Brad Leone entertains his date before leaving for his tour of duty.

Kiju)mU boijd mhi luJ[tofy rwo active clubs on campus this year were History Club and Kiwanis Bowl, but each had its own angle in academics. History in the classroom needs to be fun! And to build this excite- ment, Ms. Avetta began Capo ' s first History Club, properly named Ca- pistrano Valley Historical Society. Expecting only 20 students to join for a field trip to the Medieval Times Restaurant in Buena Park, Ms. Avetta received 170 members in ail — the largest club on campus. To enable students to have first-hand exper- ience with history, her goals were to promote and understand past and present cultures and to develop an appreciation of diverse forms of his- tory. And experience is the main key to success for this active club, since the members enjoy the many field trips, including a visit to Malibu ' s Getty Museum and a presentation from Vietnam War soldiers and vic- tims alike. With 15 officers to lead the way, history has turned into a colorful adventure. With an angle to memorize trivia questions and quicken the reflexes, Advisers Ken Sayles and Jennifer Johnson continuously buzzed aca- demic knowledge into the students minds, with the help of the quiz-o- matic, and guided them to the Re- gional Competition. After praticing four lunches per week, on all sub- jects, the five member team still lacked the quick responses to beat the other teams. But they kept their hope up for the County finals and the Invitational Tournament. 90 History Club Kiwanis Bowl ▲ THAT IS CORRECT!-Mr. Sayles was contin- ually amazed at the members ' ability to recall tough information.

Whether the students know it or not, the ASB cabinet does not always agree with the decisions of the ad- ministration. ASB is not a puppet; we have many fights with the admin- istration. For example, we fought to have two weekly announcements over the P. A. system. They finally gave in and let us do it on a trial basis and look how well it did all year, said ASB President Steve Hong. But ASB can ' t do it all. We can ' t always do everything; we need the school behind us, stated Pep Com- missioner Heather Solliday. ASB also posseses a special quality of teamwork; without it almost noth- ing would ever be accomplished. We work as a close-knit family said Pep Commissioner Shelley Hartfield. But like any family they do dis- agree. It ' s difficult to work with your friends because you see the other side of them, said Secretary Tami Brooks.

According to some House of Reps members, they see it ei- ther as a chance to get out of class or to get some school information. I go to the House of Reps meet- ing to miss my fourth period class and get donuts and milk, said senior John McCraw. However, others find they get more out of the meetings than just a glazed twist and some moo-juice. I think it ' s worthwhile, said junior Christina Grady, but she still added, just wish I knew if the efforts we put into voting really counted. Senior Craig Mashburn agreed with Christina: feel we need the House of Reps, but the students who benefit are the ones that listen, but the rude ones don ' t learn anything. Even though some reps don ' t feel like their time is worth spending at the meetings, ASB Vice President Geoff Mukae feels they ' re important because we ' re trying to involve more people in student government and have them help us make deci- sions on the allocation of money. The House of Reps voted on issues affecting Homecoming, Air Guitar, and Prom. Whether or not people go to the meetings expecting to get donuts, they play a very important part in the school-as a Senate who controls the ASB ' s power. 94 House Of Reps ICC A YOU! — ASB Vice President Geoff Mukae calls on someone for advice.

Like the House of Reps, ICC is be- coming another controversial form of democracy. But not to everyone. I felt that ICC was very informative; I found out where all of the athletic money was going, said senior Holly Anders on. While Holly thought it was worth- while, senior Shelley Zierhut felt ICC was a joke, I only went to one meeting because I got out of class. It was not very effective, we really didn ' t get anything done. But still, some ICC meetings were beneficial. We knew when to plan our activities so they wouldn ' t over- lap and it helped with the turnout, said senior Lori Quinton. Not only did it help plan activities, it also helped with fundraising. We exchanged fundraising ideas because we can always use a new idea for earning money, said senior Kath- leen Sotter.

From calculator math to Algebra II, from advanced composition to remedial English, from Bible literature to speech and debate, from ROP construction to pho- tography, from accounting and personal financing to ceramics and jewelry — Capo provided classes for all ability levels and for all different needs and interests. Whether we were clicking away in Typing lA, build- ing gingerbread houses in German II, or tackling a del- ta-epsilon proof in calculus, we learned; sometimes eagerly, but most of the time only because we had to. And even though school is something we don ' t do by choice, it makes it a little bit more interesting when concocting moth balls in chemistry, re-enacting Shake- spearian drama in English, discussing the possibility of traveling through black holes in physics, or doing bun-squeezers in aerobics. And while some schools interfere with your educa- tion, Capo Valley gets out of your way, stands behind you, and shoves you along. 4 ■ I KNOW THE ANSWER — Lynn Lloyd whirls in amazement as Rick Lilly raises his hand to answer the question.

To continue through a math class a student could become encouraged from the positive thoughts of Dariijs Mohit, The math department is the strength of CVHS and the most dedi- cated, I challenge anyone who doesn ' t think that. ti gf(Mmm, cud IM mj ujlim I u)ad tol Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost pos- l I _f yr r n f sible degree. ' ' —Ezra Pound 4bsolutes? Infinitives? Coordinating conjunctions? These terms may not always be on the tip of your tongue, but Capo students learned just what they were in English classes. Whether it ' s AP Comp, Bible Lit, English I, or Remedial English, Capo English teachers strive to be the best in different ways. Mrs. Willett is strange. She tells jokes that don ' t make sense, but they help us learn the vocab words, said Freshman Gina Crotsky. Strong composition skills, reading, and writing are all stressed, but making the curriculum interesting is the difficult part for teachers; so thinking of ingen- ious ideas is always an adventure. 1 A. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT ' S DONE - English teacher Sharon Cole checks writing samples. All English students wrote essays, stories, and essays to strengthen their writing skills. ► THIS MAY TAKE A LITTLE THINKING — Deep in thought, senior Kristen DeBruyn ponders Mr. Victor ' s assignment. Students found that writing was very challenging but especially rewarding. I try to relate the lessons to the stu- dents ' own experiences and the con- temporary world. That makes it more practical, said English teacher Ken Kaefer. Croup discussions, literature, and speeches also allow students to partici- pate by applying their ideas. Most stu- dents like these topics much more than . . grammar! Most like grammar least because writing is hard work . hard work that they don ' t anticipate, said English teacher Sharon Cole. However, grammar is only a minor part of the English curriculum offered here. Students also participate in Mock Trial, the Renaissance Faire, Shakespe projects, the spelling bee, and many oth- er activities. Sophomore Connie Fang won the school spelling bee, and senior Cutie Lee was runner up. Many of these activities are not only enjoyable for the students, but they are included in the District Competition for Academic Sweepstakes. The CAP exams were also heavily emphasized for sen- iors. Sophomore Razeena Hamir even said, I like giving speeches and writing be- cause I really learn from them. After all, that ' s what English is all about. J HKgL ' A LET ME ENLIGHTEN YOU - Senior Adam Santerre proves that English presentations aren ' t that bad. Oral discussions, presenta- tions, and projects were favorites for most students. ENGLISH IS A DOG-EAT-DOG WORLD — Hypnotized, Sophomore Philip Tavvil ex- presses his creativity when under a spell. English wasn ' t always grammar and serious les- sons. English 103 T LISTENING AND LEARNING — Sophomore Caryn Locke and freshman Brit Bykerk watch as a fellow student teaches the class. Students enjoyed group discussions and participation in foreign language. ► EXPRESSING A LITTLE MODERN ART Junior Heidi Matthews creates a Christm sweatshirt in German. Foreign language st dents participated in different projects make learning fun and beneficial. w Itdt wal tluit ufoftd? arlez-vous francais? Sprechts du Deutsch? dHabla Espariol? These • phrases may seem foreign to many people, but most Capo students recog- nize at least one of them, while others have mastered them. Once when I was in a toy store, I heard a Mexican man trying to buy a doll. He only spoke Spanish, and the clerk didn ' t understand him, so I inter- preted what he was saying, said junior Deepak Chandwani. Students have found that a second lan- guage can be very beneficial and reward- ing. Through discussions, games, and grammar lessons, students learn how to comprehend and converse in French, Spanish, or German. Freshman Cindy Day even explained, Mrs. Brown makes learning fun- she even makes a funny rat Language is the expression of ideas, and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas they cannot retain an iden- tity. — Noah W ebster face to describe the vocabulary word ' ugly. ' Through examples and new lessons, foreign language teachers strive to make learning a different dimension. The most exciting program of the foreign language department was International Week, which coincided with the National Lan- guage Week in April. The entire week was filled with activities such as a food fair, contests, teacher exchanges, and other diverse curriculum. International Week is to show stu- dents how to be more ' international ' and to celebrate the beauty of foreign lan- guages, said German teacher Beth Gibb. Foreign languages definitely allow stu- dents to be more international, and it certainly comes in handy. ONE PIECE OR TWO? — Seniors Maha Najm and Lori Qu inton slice pies for fellow French club members. All participated in games, field trips, and extensive learning of French. ▼ WHAT ' S MISSING HERE? — Construction proves to be challenging as junior Julie Rausch builds her gingerbread house in German. Stu- dents expanded their creativity with Christ- mas projects. Foreign Language 105 ► STICKING HIS FINGER IN ZAIRE — Sopho- more Scott Newell points out Zaire on the map of Africa. Oral reports were a big part of the world history course. ▲ DEVON ' S SURE — Sophomore Devon Beach works on classwork in world history, the social science requirement for sopho- mores. 106 Social Science £ ' ' What experience and history teach is this — that people and governments never have learnt anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it. ' ' —Georg Wilhelm Hegel j ore often than not on regis- l t tration day, students can be i ' t heard either groaning with dreadful anticipation or breathing a quick sigh of relief as they receive their class schedules and see which teachers they will have for the up- coming semester. These students know that it ' s easier to pass in some teachers ' classes than in others. This is recognized by the administration, which decided that a new curricu- lum specialist program would help unify the departments and promote the idea of every class being equally as challenging. Bill Hoffman, who teaches psy- chology and E IR, was chosen to be the curriculum specialist for social science this year. My chief respon- sibility is to make sure that the cur- riculum is taught consistently. Every teacher has their own style of teach- ing, but the information presented should be basically the same, said Mr. Hoffman. Of course there is no way to make every teacher use the same grading policy and insure that an A in one class doesn ' t equal a B in another. Senior Erin Pipes, who took Ameri- can government in summer school with Mr. White said, (Mr. White ' s class) is a lot easier. It would have been harder if I had Pfleuger but ful- ly easy if I had Frost. But senior Chris Sorensen, who had Colonel Frost for Government, disagrees with Erin. Frost fails more people than Pfleuger. A lot of peo- ple think you can just breeze in (Frost ' s) class and not do the work, he said. Despite the new curriculum spe- cialist, Paul Pfleuger, who has the reputation, of being one of Capo ' s hardest teachers, stated, ! really don ' t see the department as being more coordinated or brought to- gether. Students need to be held ac- countable at the same level. The same test may be worth 90% of a grade in one class but only 40% of a grade in another. But even though most people agree that the same amount of effort produces different grades in differ- ent classes, at least an effort is being made to correct the situation. And who knows? Maybe someday a plan will be devised which will make stu- dents equally relieved (or worried) on registration day. • WORKING HARD OR HARDLY WORK- ING? — Sophomore Jason Class kicks back and ponders the enigma of the Egyptian pyra- mids in World History.

The art curriculum enables stu- dents to enhance their artistic abili- ties working with clay in ceramics, dealing with colors and designs in drawing and painting, and working with precious metals in jewelry. I enjoy creating my own designs. You can do whatever you want and I really get into my work, comments senior Susan Wareh. Besides making in-class projects such as sterling silver bands, water- color drawings, and interesting clay creations, students also participate in outside activities such as field trips to art museums and art exhibitions. In Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life. — Joseph Conrad the fall, they visited the Laguna Arts Institute and the Newport Harbor Art Museum where they observed various forms of art. Several students were also given the opportunity to enter art contests where they could win scholarships and cash prizes. The ceramic program has come quite a long way since it first started. Our program here is quite excep- tional and it ' s basically due to the students ' participation and positive attitude about the class, said ceram- ics teacher jay Sponagle. Commenting on the students, art teacher Holly Smirl said, There ' s a lot of artistically talented students at our school. She pauses, holds up a display of her students ' artwork and adds, and I ' m really proud of them. - GLAZING ON THE FINAL TOUCHES — Freshman Carlie Pearson works on refining her clay work. Further enhancement to the project required glazing the dried work. ▼ WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? — Seniors Scott Mersing and Ryan Steele complete their work on their unknown project. -- ▲ THROWING ON THE WHEEL — Junior Robert Grace huddles over the wheel.

The marching band moved up in class, which provided a better chal- lenge, said junior Ciaran Foley, co- drum major. The marching band finished second in every competition it went to this year. It takes pure dedication for a band member to take part in this program, as Foley explains, Practice starts at sixth period and ends at four o ' clock, almost non-stop. But during the week of a com- petition, we also practice on Saturday from ten until two. But practice makes perfect. FHarry Hutchinson, assistant to director Lynn dinger, says, The kids put more hours into the band than any other activity on campus. And behind all this hard work there is a conductor who suffers, too. That man is Lynn Olinger, or better known as Mr. O. FHe is in charge of the marching band, jazz band (both interme- diate and advanced), symphonic band, commercial music, orchestra and drum But through all this hard work the mu sicians sometimes get a break as they went on a retreat to Arrowbear. They also hope to travel to Mexico on another retreat. While the band made music, the choir sang it. On February eighth and ninth auditions for the musical Mame were held. Mame was performed in May. The choir added a little music to the basketball games by singing The Star Spangled Banner during the year. In March, they also performed at the Or- ange County Performing Arts Center. They wrapped up the year with a spring concert held at Capo. ▲ HEY!

Students often ask that when studying the causes of the war of 1812 or memorizing the properties of matter, but that question is never heard in a practical arts ' class. From business math and key- boarding to cooking and sewing, students learn to be effective con- sumers or to prepare balanced family meals. Practical arts even offers a crash course In parenting, teaching the growth and development of children from conception to school age. Just ask sophomore Chad Comer. Child Development has prepared me for the fear of ever having a kid put a booger in my mouth, he said. On the more serious side, senior Shea Jones had more practical rea- sons for signing up for the class. By taking Child Development I hope to learn to be a good mother and wife in the future, she said. In addition to learning child care skills, students can also pick up handy techniques for getting around in the kitchen. I enjoyed taking cooking because we got to create our own main dishes, said senior Michele Rogers. From inside the home to outside of the home (which would more likely be the everyday work place) senior Lani Leach seems to think practical arts has prepared her for an office job. I learned better typing techniques from Coach Thornton, she said. From traditional typewriters to the future in word processing, business teacher Deanna Pietrantoni felt that the classes will be more fulfilling once we get Word Star and Word Perfect functional. In practical arts, learning is always of practical value, but it is only hu- man nature to take advantage of the situation. I learned that there are dozens of wimpy guys that take foods for the main purpose of get- ting the one girl at their table to cook and clean for all of them, said senior Brenda Hirnes. 112 Practical Art w A PICTURE PERFECT - Seniors Chris Har- becke and Kim Carolin check for scratched and usable negatives during their photogra- phy class. ■« TYPING IT UP - Mrs. Sanchez ' sixth period typing class awaits instructions from the taped typing aid.

All the P.E. classes, which include dance, aerobics, strength and exer- cise, and P.E. activities, participate in the much dreaded Friday run which lias been included in the curriculum liecause the students ' weakest point seems to be in cardiovascular exer- cises. Sounds simple, right? But the catch is that you have to finish the run in under eight minutes and six runs must be completed every grad- ing period. While our body should be feeling healthy after the 3 4 mile run, most people feel differently. Why is it that the body ' s only re- sponse is to wildly gasp for air and wince in pain?

The uniforms look so generic, explains freshman FHoliy Archer. And adds freshman Julie Mather, We should have free-dress or at least wear different colors besides black and white. With all the complaints and gripes, words of motivation come in handy. After being asked how she motivates her students, Debbie Cunningham said, I try to get the students enthu- siastic and enjoy the activities that we do. But when students just sit around, I get upset. She pauses, takes a quick scan around the court, and spots several students sitting around talking and shouts, All you guys sitting down, go take an extra lap around the field — NOW! If you ' re not back in eight minutes, you go again! Now, how ' s that for motivation? •« RUNNING WITH A SMILE - Sophomore ▲ READY IN ACTION - Freshman Neil Per- Larisa Moore looks happy after completing reira gets ready to catch a ball.

Watching him work one may not notice that Ed has muscular dys- trophy and is learning handicapped. Because of his handicap, Ed will nevei learn to read or write and concepts mus be repeated over and over in order fo him to learn and remember. Mrs Downs, his mom, says, Sometimes I ge ' frustrated because I want him to do it. But by watching him and by seeing the things he does he gives me hope. There are many things to realize about Ed and other learning disabled students. Mrs. Downs believes that, Kids with handicaps are extremely special people. If people would recognize their work and effort it would help them to contin- ue and excel. I think it is unfair that kids like Ed are not recognized because they are not in regular classes. Ed and the kids in his class work three or four times as hard. Ed maintains an A-B average in his fa- vorite classes of machine and auto shop. I ' m learning about car engines and I ' m taking them apart and putting them back together, Ed said. I like to work on cars and get dirty. It is kind of fun for me. In addition to auto shop, Ed started working as a janitor last year and likes holding a job. I worked five days a week all summer. I was really busy. Since he came to Capo as a freshman Ed has developed a positive attitude and has really grown and improved. Mrs. Downs stated, Ed is doing 80° o better. I have seen a lot of growth since Ed started working. His auto and machine shop class have made a big difference. In school, Ed now recognizes letters in addition to his other achievements. I have learned how to add and subtract and use the computer. I like all the graphics and stuff, he said. Although Ed really enjoys school, there are some things he dislikes about it. I don ' t like it when the kinds make a mess on the carpet because then I have to pick up the trash. Of the students Ed says, I don ' t like alcohol and drugs. I say to the kids using drugs that they are doing the wrong thing and they will ruin their lives. On some days Ed has problems walk- ing and his feet hurt because of his mus- cular dystrophy. In the future he may have surgery which could help him. But right now, Ed is very excited about gra duating next year. When I graduate I will remember everything I learned. At first I didn ' t know what to expect but now everything is a-okay. Ed also shares some common goals with many other Capo students. For his plans after graduation Ed says, I want to learn how to drive. I also would like to find me a job and live on my own. Ed is a very concerned and loving per- son. He is close to his family and Mrs. Downs shared one of the special things they do together. We take our Christ- mas cards and Ed draws a card each night and then we pray for that person. Ed is very compassionate and he cares so much. While Ed is special, he ' s typical of many of the students in Special Offer- ings. The Resource Specialist Program is an educational alternative for students with learning disabilities.

It ' s Mr. Mike DeGeer ' s special day class for learning disabled students at Capo. We play lottery every week with a five dollar prize, he explains, and students who an- swer bonus questions and do their home- work are eligible tor an additional two dol- lar prize. While other students may scoff at such a learning strategy, Mr. DeCeer says that with his kids, it ' s a must. It helps motivate the students to excel, he said. It ' s not all fun and games with DeCeer, however. Teaching lower level students can be extremely demanding. I have to wear a lot of hats. 1 have five classes and 1 have to find different ways to teach five different people in every one, he said. The goal of the special day program is to merge the special students ' learning and behavior with other students. And in spite of the obvious differences between his kids and others in the school, DeCeer points out that they are teenagers, the same as stu- dents in regular academic classes, and they want to be treated like everyone else. And how does he see this happening? I would like other students to talk with them and not be afraid of them. 1 want other students to realize that these kids are per- haps more sensitive and often feel embar- rassed about their disabilities, too. ■ HEY, THAT ' S GREAT - Sophomore Adam Thornfield daydreams about somewhere far far away. Daydreams helped pass the time away for some students when in class. Special Offerings 117 P(jm vTo fiflt It ' s not whether you win or lose, it ' s how you play game! Charlie Brown ' s earnest excuse for blowing yet another baseball game doesn ' t quite comply with Capo ' s tradition of athletic excellence, for we play the game very well. Although our teams belong to the tough South Coast League, the Cougars have always been competitive. Most of our teams reached CIF - waterpolo, swimming, tennis, surf- ing, basketball , and in what was supposed to be a rebuild- ing year for football, they, too, managed to advance into post-season action. Given the overwhelming success and winning tradition of Cougar athletics, it ' s not surprising that some 1000 of us participate in 22 sports, ranging from track and field with over 250 participants to golf with only 20. A few out of the thousand may have the potential and ability to pursue athletics in college and perhaps even at the professional level, but most participate knowing that they will never be recruited by UCLA or offered a scholarship to Penn State. But still they practice as diligently as the stars, and even though they warm the bench, they had their moments of glory, even if it was during garbage time. For both stars and the Waterboys, participation in sports bred discipline. Eight o ' clock Saturday morning practices and long bus rides for away games stretched our dedication and will power beyond the normal capacity of a flaky teen. Whether as participants or as spectators. Capo learned to win, to lose, and to be proud of its dominance in the world of sports. So, Charlie Brown, maybe it is how you play the game that counts, but winning and losing are important lessons for us to learn. Why do you think we keep score? 118 Sports m .a- ?r (Is Wl m 1 ' ■JL.

The defense stifled El Toro, to key a 34-22 trouncing of the Chargers. Mud u edT oud Tem w played as a team, not as a bunch of in- dividuals, said tail- back Chi Chi Biehn. This was the season of unity and commitment, not of a bunch of superstars getting all the credit. The Cougars over- came both an early loss to Edi- son and being dubbed an un- derdog , to still finish second in league with a record of 3-2. Another problem for the team was the lack of size and experience. We didn ' t have a lot of size, but we had a lot of heart, said linebacker Todd Pilger. Even though the season end- ed with the disappointing loss to El Modena in the first round of the CIF playoffs, the team was nonetheless proud of its effort, especially the sweet victory over archrival El Toro, 34-22. We kicked their butts, said center B.J. Franklin. Even though the team worked as a whole, there were some outstanding individual achievements among the play- ers as the Cougars placed 11 members on the All-League team. Sophomore quarterback Tony Solliday completed 91 of 156 passes for 1,317 yards and eight touchdowns. On the re- ceiving end of Solliday ' s passes were senior wide receiver Toney Jenkins with 24 catches for 400 yards and 3 touch- downs, senior tightend Doug Bame with 21 catches for 324 yards and 2 touchdowns, and sophomore David Poltl with 25 catches for 336 yards and two touchdowns. The rushers were lead by senior Chi Chi Biehn with 110 rushes for 577 yards and two touchdowns, sopho- more Chris Adams with 54 rushes for 430 yards and five touchdowns and sophomore Matt Mosebrook with 20 rushes for 82 yards and five touch- downs. An added dimension to the team was the five starting soph- omores. It ' s almost unheard of for a team to start five sopho- mores, said Coach Eric Patton. So, with a young and inexpe- rienced team, the Cougars were still able to keep the winning tradition alive. Even with 23 seniors leaving the team next year there still remains hope for a bigger and brighter season. mm yfrnrnm m VARSITY FOOIBALL- nn slian Pe.eLaFlamme Mik n, Chad Byers, lason an Dorn. |ohn | Franklin Chris Tarnows ,,Scotl ■ chnie Fifth row: oe While, Marc Shulga, Bi Davin,Ch, ChiB.eh n, Dan Zamora Brenl na ren Gonzales, Dan on Psaros Fourth row: M keLi in.

Coach Tom Ressler claims, Although we had a poor record, I think the guys are ready for varsity next season. The star of the team, and the greatest prospect to- wards next year ' s varsity team, was MVP and Back of the Year Matt Call. Call helped alleviate the player shortage by playing three positions: running back, de- fensive back, and tight end. Coach Ressler stated, Matt was a great contributor, and really added to our team unity. Another key member of the team was captain Scott Newell. He was also a three- position player, filling the spots of fullback, linebacker, and offensive lineman. Scott contributed greatly to the team through his leadership and his playing ability. Other key players were Dan Thom- sen, Rob Dundas, Nathan Way, John Armenta, Jim Christian, Greg Strickland, and Greg Morrow. According to Coach Ressler, the highlight of the season was the Dana Hills game in which Greg Morrow blocked a field goal attempt with 50 seconds remaining. Matt Call recovered and la- teralled to Greg Strickland, who ran 80 yards for a touchdown, tying the game at 13. After the Tonek Mikler extra point, the Cou- gars prevailed, 14-13.

Under the coach ' s training, the seven Varsity runners work out eleven months of the year and six days a week to get in shape for their competitions. But the toil and sweat of their training paid off as they ad- vanced all the way to CIF. Again, the Varsity cross country team finished an- other commendable season for Capo, ending with espe- cially pleasing performances by all the runners. Coach White, who focused his training more individually on the runners this year, com- ments, I ' m proud of these athletes for their outstand- ing performances this year. They ' re a great group of guys to work with. The Varsity team advanced to CIF, after placing high in the South Coast League Championships. Praising the team ' s efforts. Coach White especially commends senior Neil Stevenson for his excel- lent performance. Also, another star runner, senior Bill Gould, originally from Chicago, Illinois, cap- tured second in the SCL Championships. I didn ' t think the competition here (in California) would be as difficult as I expected, and I realized that I needed the team to qualify for the state, said Gould. t l M m 1 3 hhh ▲ A FORESHADOWING EVENT- Senior Sean Douglas chases his shadow to win the race.

The team, indeed, ended its season successfully with especially strong performances from seniors Chad Williams and Mark Dromgoole and junior Natalio Pereira. Pereira, with hopes of running in Varsity next year, credits his achieve- ments to Coach White. Coach White always helps and supports us, not only in cross country but in our personal lives as well. Coach White, who also coaches the Varsity team, trains all his guys to have a positive outlook on the run and on the team. Junior Joey Liu reflects this posi- tive thinking. Even though times are getting faster with tougher com- petition, and we ' re losing our best runners come graduation, I know we can still pull it off the same next year. And I ' m looking forward to that! If Liu ' s outlook for next year speaks for the team. Capo will loo k to another great seasonal success. Meanwhile, runners on the team can reminisce about their experiences this season. Junior Hai Trinh knows he ' s gained more than just the athletic training. I ' ve learned that for everything, the harder you work, the more it pays. And you won ' t win unless you try hard. Yes, for all those who were there to try, their best efforts paid off, but for Mark Dromgoole, a back injury kept him from running all the races. I ' m proud that we had a great sea- son, but I just wish I was there to run with my teammates. Seconding that, Pereira comment- ed, The greatest gain in cross coun- try are the guys.

The Cougars had reached the semifinals of CIF five times in the past seven years, and the finals twice, but had always come up short. This season, the Cougars completed a clean sweep of championships, in- cluding an undefeated league season and the CIF 5-A title. With a number one ranking in preseason, the Cougars entered their first game with confidence. We thought we were the team to beat, and got kind of lax, said cen- ter Bret Hurney. The coach would get mad, but we didn ' t care. Three games into the season, they were 1-2, and wondering what had gone wrong. The pressure of being number one might have been too much at first, said Coach Mark Thorton. We came back down to reality after our first loss. The Cougars regrouped, did some soul-searching, and the season took off. After the loss to number one ranked Saddleback in the Or- ange Tournament, they won fifteen straight, culminating in the romp against Irvine in the championship final, 76-49. We weren ' t overconfident going into the game, but we knew we were the better team, said forward Andy Bosma. The Cougars certainly proved that, outscoring the Vaqueros 14-1 in the first 4:30 of the second quarter, and never allowing the lead to dip below twenty in the second half. This is one of the best teams in Capo history, maybe even 1, said Coach Thorton. If the measure of greatness is the CIF championship, this squad has it all wrapped up.

You play to win, said As- sistant Coach Charles Lock- ard, and when you don ' t, it doesn ' t really matter how well or hard you played. With two sophomores and a freshman in the starting line-up, the team had little experience in playing to- gether before the season be- gan. At first it was really diffi- cult adjusting — I had to play with and against bigger and stronger guys then I was used to, said freshman for- ward Jeff Rosales. I didn ' t know how the guys were going to feel to- wards me, added sopho- more forward Jose Salva- tierra. Inexperience was a key to the team ' s so-so season, and so was the flu bug. We had guys out all the time, and we never had the same line-up, said Coach Dan Ryan. Despite the obstacles and problems, the Cougars did put together a respectable season, highlighted by the Marina tournament cham- pionship and a 69-62 victory over always tough Mater Dei. It was the best game we played all year, and I guess it took a lot out of us because it was downhill after that, said junior guard Mike Clark. The season hit rock-bot- tom in a heart-breaking, come-from-ahead loss to El Toro, 84-68, in the second- to-last week of the season. We were up by 19 in the first quarter, and at half-time we were down by two — they just kept bombing the three-pointers, said junior forward Danny Still. But the team managed to regroup and win the last two games against Irvine and Dana Hills. It was good that we end- ed the season on a high note, said Coach Ryan.

A brilliant sopho- more team that numbers among its accomplishments an undefeated league season (10-0), three tourna- ment championships, and an over all record of 22-2. None of my starters were good enough to be starters as freshmen, said Coach Tom Ressler. They ' ve come a long way. Led by forward Brett McCorkle and point guard Erik Richards, the team ' s successful season was only blemished by two tough losses to Mater Dei. Our goal was to go undefeated all season, but Mater Dei took care of that, said Richards. Despite falling short of their lofty goal, the sophomores accomplished far more than everyone thought they were capable of — that is, ev- eryone except themselves. We weren ' t really expected to do that well, said center Zac Kissinger, but we had a great season. Speaking of exceeding expecta- tions, the freshmen team surprised a few people by finishing 7-3 in league and 16-8 overall. The Cougars might have even won league if the clock had cooperated in the next-to-last game of the season against Irvine. Capo was ahead by eight points in the closing minutes of the game when the clock stopped running while play continued. Everyone was pointing at the clock because, it hadn ' t moved for at least a minute, said guard Aaron Rhoades. By the time the game was over, Irvine had prevailed, 42-40, dashing the Cougars ' hope of tying for the league title. Despite the near-miss, the freshmen team had a solid sea- son, beating rivals El Toro (57-42) and Mission Viejo (67-55), and winning the Dana Hills tournament.

It was seldom when every player performed up to his potential at the same time. But when they finally did. It was too late. If we had time to play five more games, we could have probably won four out of the five games, Coach Wilims said.

However, Cougars were able to make their way out of such dilem- mas through determination and commitment, inspite of a shakey start. After several early falls, seven athletes made their marks at the CIF tournament, with seniors Sean Gallagher and Matt Luker advancing to the Mas- ters Meet, and Gallagher go- ing to state. The most important attri- bute is dedication to the sport, said senior Sean Gal- lagher. It was loyalty and hard work like Gallagher ' s that led the Cougars to a very suc- cessful season. They started off slowly, losing some key athletes to injuries, while others moved. They then suffered a disappointing loss to El Toro, but the following day, they recovered to cap- ture second in the Nogales tournament, topping 24 oth- er schools.

Although the teams had a tough season, with a Frosh Soph record of only 1-3, and the JV had a record of 0-4, they never lost hope. They were led by James Davis, with an individ- ual record of 20-1 and Mark Pan, who was 18-1. Coach Zeller summed up the ma- jor setbacks when he said, We lacked depth in the upper weights. It was frustrating because we didn ' t have a full line-up, so our team was lopsided. But despite such odds, the wrestlers still trained well, always committed to the sport. Basically, many weren ' t as concerned with winning because they knew that the Frosh Soph and JV teams served as a training and developing ground for the Varsity. Many wrestlers work hard to ad- vance to the varsity. FHaving the right attitude puts everything in perspec- tive because in the end, hard work and dedication pays off. Mark Pan even said, Wrestling is a personal sport for me. It ' s different than any other team sport because you ' re on the mat alone- you take the glory and the responsibility, and it gives you a definite feeling of self-accom- plishment.

Mr. Goldstone encourages up- coming volleyball players to take ad- vantage of clinics, camps and prac- tices prior to each new season. As a matter a fact, Mr. Goldstone has a camp which teaches the funda- mentals of volleyball to both return- ing Varsity players and incoming freshman. This gives the student and coach more time for a one on one relationship and allows him to know each player ' s abilities better. Players like Ryan Benn, who ' ve gone from the frosh soph team to Varsity in one year, exemplify how hardwork and determination pay off for a Capo volleyball player. Just like dedicated senior Gary Jackson who returned to help Varsity win big for a second year in a row. Experienced players like Rob Crotty and Harvey Aguilar, who have moved up from JV to Varsity, made an impact on the team ' s record.

But in spite of the prognostications of early season doomsdayers, the Cougars found themselves stomping the vast majority of their pre-league foes on their way to an early mark of 7 and 3. If things keep up, this team could easily find itself in the hunt for a league crown. Winning the crown will be no easy task for the young Cougars, howev- er, no matter how well they perform before the league begins. The league has a lot of good quality play- ers, said Coach Bob Zamora, and they look good on paper.

While they may not have had much time at the Varsity level, as senior Mike Mosebrook said, Our strongest asset is that the majority of the team has played together for two years and we know each other ' s strengths and weaknesses. As the league season dawned, it was the strengths that were the most evident. So who knows? When they write a book about the baseball team at the end of the playoffs, they may call it That Championship Season. ■ BUILT FOR SPEED - Senior pitcher Mike Mosebrook hurls the pitch toward the batter By the end of the pre-season, Mosebrook knotched 24 strike-outs and pos ted a mark ot 4 and 0.

Even returning JV coach Goose Awender thought that the boys are a promising bunch and they seem to be better than last year.

But for Frosh Soph swimmers, swimming isn ' t taken so lightly, and there ' s more to the sport than just frolicking under the rays to get a good tan. Competition, hard work, unity, and responsibility all come with the territory. Head Coach Don Cholodenko said, I ' m always pushing the guys harder to achieve our goals — to succeed. But to accomplish this, they need commitment and responsibility because that ' s what swimming is all about. With such commitment comes a lot of hard work and practicing. The team practiced five days a week for two hours each day at the Saddleback College pool. After all, everyone always wants to be the fastest. Swimmer John Brand said, Our con- ditioning can be very strenuous. To be the best, we do laps, laps, and more laps. That ' s the way swimming is: no laps, no winning. And winning is what Capo swimming is about. Freshman Trevor Ro- din said, We want championships all around. Cholo wants us to succeed. But we always feel successful enough in swimming because you feel an accom- plishment about yourself. Such feelings come not just from beat- ing others but from beating the clock, too. Swimmer Alex Lesser said, Swim- ming is always a race against the clock. It ' s discouraging when you think you have a good time and then you finish and look at the clock and it was really bad.

In the spring, I weight- lift for track and field, whereas, in the summer and fall I work out for football, said senior Mike Tullar. The Varsity track and field mem- bers are a team based upon individ- ual abilities. Track and field is more of an individual sport where each competitor shows off his ability in action. Varsity members especially have the ability and competitive edge that it takes to win at the track meets. As a junior this year.

We ' re competing against the best, commented Rob Schmitz. The players have to play the best they can. Against such stiff competition, the Varsity tennis team was picked to come in last in the league. But Schmitz intended on changing that. Schmitz runs a strict discipline program. The team has to be on time and at every practice, period. They start their practice with three sets each player. Schmitz says this will keep them in good shape. Besides sets, they also have other warm-up drills. Tom Chen explains, We have to do push ups. And we do a variety of drills to practice consistency of all the shots in tennis, practice strategy and maybe play some sets to practice competition. But with all this hard work there has to be a positive out- come. Schmitz says, Tennis is a lifetime sport. It ' s a sport you can play for the rest of your life. Hopefully the play- ers will build their character in the process. But this discipline has to be taught at a young age. And this year ' s tennis team is young and inexperi- enced. I expect a learning and pro- gressing year, said Schmitz. Inspite of their inexperience, overall, Schmitz has a high expectation for the tennis team, if not for this sea- son, then for the next few years as they mature.

It is an honor to be on the team and it is something that they can take pride in. The players had a good outlook throughout the season. Freshman Mark Brand says, If we win, we feel really good.

Even though their league re- cords don ' t reflect the amount of hard work and dedication, the girls had outstanding times and top fin- ishes at invitationals. The varsity fin- ished at 1-4 and the junior varsity at 3-2. Coach Ken Sayles summed up the team ' s difficulties when he said, We had lots of young runners- almost all freshmen and sophomores. We also had lots of injuries which made it very frustrating for us all. Stress fractures, pulled muscles, and shin splints- they all come with the territory of cross country. Emo- tional and physical pain makes run- ning sometimes almost unbearable, but dedicated runners know that the hard work, pain, conditioning, and long hours pay off in the end. When I ' m running, I don ' t think about pain or stopping. I think about my form and keep looking ahead be- cause this helps me mentally. Run- ning actually relaxes me, said senior Traci Skeen. Like Skeen, many other runners also focus more on highlights rather than lowlights. Probably the biggest highlight for the team was defeating Mission Viejo, seeing as they hadn ' t for a while. The varsity team defeat- ed Mission Viejo 26 to 31, and the junior varsity came up with a 21-34 victory.

The girls did not reach their goal of winning CIF, and even though Varsity lost in the Orange County tournament, Coach Gipe was still happy with the girls ' efforts. We did as well as we could. It was a learning process as we grew and improved. The varsity playoffs at Newport Harbor were a high-point of the sea- son where the girls played an in- tense, nonstop three-hour match.

It was a fluke that we lost that last game in C.I.F. lament- ed junior Bridget Baker. But the major victories col- lected by the team were any- thing but flukes. The girls stormed through the Costa Mesa tournament, capturing the team title and placing three players on the all-tourney team: Spence, who collected a triple- double in one of the games. Ba- ker, who was selected to the team as a guard, and Anderson, who garnered MVP honors. Despite winning MVP in the tournament, Anderson didn ' t rank it at the top of her high- light list. That honor went to the league victory over El Toro. It was down to the wire at the end and we won! The team played really well together that game, Anderson remembered fondly. Not all the memories of the season were fond, however. The girls failed to beat Mission for the fourth straight year. As seniors, said Zierhut, we felt like it was our last chance to do it, and it was our year. Yet perhaps the greatest dis- appointment is yet to come. That will be next year when the returning varsity squad starts its new season without Coach De- Maggio, who said he was hang- ing it up.

KETBALL Girls Varsity Basketball 181 Piaqmi b(j iMMp uMce r here ' s an old saying that close only counts in horseshoes. And hand grenades. And nuclear war. Well, it ' s time to add something new to that list: JV girls basket- ball. The girls may not have won very many games (only a hand- ful) but considering the fact that they fielded a team made up of several first time players, just managing to keep the score close almost every time out is pretty impressive. This was especially true of the game against San Clemente, a team which dominated the JV division. The second time we played ' em, we really gave them a run for their money, said Coach Theresa Aldrich. Aldrich believes that if her team would have had just a little bit more experience, the results might have been different. A lot of the girls were first-time players . , that was our biggest problem. Sophomore Jennifer Avery echoed her coach ' s sentiments when she said, It was my first year ever playing basketball. That make it kind of hard. That ' s not to say that the team ' s inexperience prevented them from achieving at least some success. As the season progressed, so did the team. We were good as individuals at the beginning, but we came together as a team at the end and played better, said Avery. But inexperience wasn ' t the only thing the girls had to over- come. Some of the players were felled by injury. I was hurt in the second game of the Irvine tourna- ment, said junior forward Sarah Semelsberger. But, like the team, she got better. I even came back to score 12 points in the next game, she said. So maybe the team didn ' t win a ton of games. But they came close, and maybe next year, they ' ll get there.

Although they worked long and hard, they would never have gotten to where they were without their unquencha- ble desire to win. A lot of the girls came to the team with different backgrounds and beliefs, but after a few crises, we became family, and the team sky- rocketed from there, said senior Laurinda Mulhaupt. Laurinda was right. After a few mi- nor problems, the girls came to face their biggest challenge and happily, their biggest victory: BEATING MISSION!!! After looking back at the season. Coach Steve Bignol said, The victory was important psycho- logically because after it we were first in our division and we knew we were going to be league champs. Before the C.l.F. championships. Coach Steve Bignol summed up their chances, There are no sloppy teams out there, and any of those teams can win on any given day. All we need to do is to play our best all the time and we have an excellent chance of ending our season as num- ber one. The girls eventually went on to the C.l.F. championship game and in double overtime they defeat- ed Simi Valley 4-3.

The JV team went through a state of progression and unification this season. The sea- son acted as a melting pot, blending the team together so that it could be shaped and formed for success. Early in the season, the team wasn ' t integrated enough to become a single force with a single goal, but as the year progressed this hap- pened, and was most vividly demon- strated when the girls beat unstop- pable Mission, decisively. We went through the game and dominated it. It made me so proud to be part of the team, said Erika Klein. Unfortu- nately for the girls, this unprec- edented victory wasn ' t enough to catapult them to the league title, but it did give them a great place to start for next season. Although it isn ' t known who will be coaching girls ' soccer next year, sophomore Amy Walker said, Next year ' s coaches will either make or break the team ' s ability to go all the way. ■ STEALING IS A CRIME - Fortunately for sophomore Stephanie Lawrence, this is the kind of theft which wins soccer games. :CER SOCCER JV Soccer 187 m f n o l C iM m ieMMd , ioiy m ahi l M Imost any respected sports per- i sonality would scream Frosh f1 Soph at a team with seven sophomores and four freshmen — right?

These eleven young ladies, along with a junior and two seniors, comprise the youngest Varsity Softball team in the South Coast League, and in Capo history.

If they can get to the playoffs. and prove to themselves they can do it, we ' ll be unstoppable the next two years, Coach Willms said. While the future looks bright, the present looks pretty darn good, too. The Cougars started their season 4-2, and looked like a strong contender for a playoff berth.

ALL VARSITY Varsity Softball 189 Jl geS defmkb ahoiil fifildiMq very afternoon during v spring, under the blaz- es ' ing warmth of the sun, out in the far, distant back fields of Capo ' s stretching green, a group of fresh, en- ergized Softball players and their coach spend nearly three hours practicing on the Softball diamond. Like other sports, their practice involves non-stop drilling of the fundamentals and much repetition. How - ever, softball to them is not just bats, mitts, balls, gloves, catching, throwing and bat- ting. To play the sport at their very best, they incor- porate teamwork and smart situation plays into their practices. With a closer look at the team, one would have seen mostly new players with the exception of five returnees, Caroline Bayles, Devon Beach, Laurie Ramsey, Christy Shone, and Lavender Whitacre. When asked to compare this season ' s team to the pre- vious, sophomore Caroline Bayles responds, We ' re a lot better this year. Indeed, according to sophomore Laurie Ramsey, this team has high hopes in the league. Much of their success is attributed to their fielding, at which the girls are im- proving greatly. With ex- tremely good fielding, adds freshman Lucy Jacobs, we ' ve kept down the num- ber of runs from the oppo- nents. Aside from the field coaching which the girls re- ceive from Coach Stan De- Maggio, Jacobs says, The coach knows how to moti- vate us, and he treats us as people, which is very impor- tant. True, remarks Coach DeMaggio, Our goal is to have fun and to win the games at the same time. In addition to a fun and understanding coach, the team enjoys support from one another. Says freshman Alison Whitacre, It ' s excit- ing to play when all the team is behind you. As for fresh- man Alisa Farr, Friendship in this team is what makes it so rewarding. Whether it be fielding, coaching, friendships, or all three, this team is holding on strong. With our potential, states sophomore Andrea Lillie, we can win the league.

What are you and your team going to do next? Go to Dis- neyland? ... hardly. We have some promising new comers, and some strong returners. I think we ' ve got a pretty good shot at a third title, re- plied Coach LyIe. With many new faces, and their third head coach in just over two years, the girls have quite a way to go. But they ' re not new to this. Many of the girls are club swim- mers, so they ' ve got experience in competition situations, LyIe said. Whether or not grace under pres- sure is enough remains to be seen. In addition to his varsity aspira- tions, LyIe has welcomed the talent of his Frosh Soph and Junior Varsity swimmers. He stated, We have many novice swimmers who ' s efforts may not pay off in a Frosh Soph league championship, but will reap greater benefits further down the line. LyIe also said that a good per- centage of his Varsity girls are fresh- men and sophomores, thus weaken- ing the Frosh Soph team just a little bit more. As far as varsity goes, LyIe was hesi- tant in making any predictions, un- derstandably enough. He did, how- ever, say of the CIF Championship, Barring any injuries, and if every- one swims up to their potential, it ' s possible. Although talent and abili- ty are the focus of the Varsity team, LyIe realizes that much more is needed to win a championship, con- cluding with I ' m continually blessed with a plethora of talented swimmers, and with dedication and team unity we can go as far as we want.

Victor claimed that the 800 team is one of the best in the state, and the long and triple |ump teams are as good as they i et. He also said that he has two lantastic hurdlers, a very, very strong relay team, and a highly competitive shotput and discus team. We ' ve got strengths in every event, Coach Victor said, and if the girls compete up to their level, we ' ll be great. Seemingly the team is top-notch in every category: sprints, distance, relays, jumping, hurdles, and weight events. Coach Victor backed this up, adding, We really don ' t have a weak spot, and we are looking forward to not getting one.

After a disappointing season in 1988, the team came back to give it another shot, striving for the top this time around. Coach Debbie Cun- ningham stated, I ' m real positive toward this season. Our goal is to go to CIF and finish at least second. Mrs. Cunningham added, We ' re in the toughest league in the southern section. The four teams almost al- ways finish, in one way or another, as the top four in CIF. The league the girls compete in isn ' t the conventional South Coast League we all know. It consists of Capo, Dana Hills, San Clemente, and a stranger to these here parts, Los Alamitos. Why is Los Alamitos in our league? Why, it ' s very simple: CIF re- quires four teams to form a league, and only three South Coast teams wished to participate. Thus, Los Al took the spot. Despite a difficult league, the team is really confident, junior Michelle Bartlett said, This year ' s varsity team is much stronger than last year ' s, and I think we have the ability to over- come our toughest adversary, Los Al. With a strong, young varsity, it would seem impossible to have a great junior varsity team. That ' s not the case. Our JV is one of the stron- gest I ' ve ever coached. We ' ve got a lot of depth, and I ' m looking forward to an outstanding season, said Mrs. Cunningham. Please see supplement for results. STICS GYMNASTICS GYMNASTICS Gymnastics 197 c cf Capo ' s faculty and staff consists of a weird blend of individuals. We have among us a Teacher of the Year (Mr. Victor), two Ranns ' cheerleaders (Ms. Avetta and Ms. Faeta), a Colonel (Mr, Frost), and a Lord (Mr. Gipe). But despite all of their differences and diversity, they all share one common trait - DEDICATION. While most of us were enjoying sweet dreams, our teachers were battling Southern California ' s freeways, arriving at school as early as 6:30. And while most of them left the school by 3:30, they went home to high stacks of ungraded papers, spending an average of ten hours a week grading them. And if you ' re an English teacher, you can count on slaving over muddled com- positions for even longer. Preparing lesson plans takes up to another ten hours, but some of the teachers wisely did them during sum- mer vacation. And don ' t forget teachers who also act as club advi- sors or coach sports. During their season coaches spend up to 40 hours a week working with their teams, and 10-12 during the off-season. And when our teachers weren ' t teaching, they were learning. Some of them have obtained or are currently working on an advanced degree. Others regularly at- tend workshops and seminars to get new ideas. Still others give workshops and seminars — all of that amounts to more time spent bettering themselves as teachers and as people. Oh, wait, don ' t forget to count the time teachers spend calling parents, attending meetings, giving extra help, or fiddling with the xerox machine. Oh, and doesn ' t someone have to proctor Saturday school and teach summer school? (By the way, what do teachers like to do in their spare time? WHAT SPARE TIME?) Faculty ■ TEST TIME - Mrs. M.C.

With a love for the languages, Mrs. Brown set out to teach French and Spanish to her students. And as each day continues, the excitement in her job never ends. I love performing in front of my classes. I see each peri- od as a performance. Many of the students agreed that she has a flashy style of teaching, which makes the class a blast. The students mean a lot to Mrs. Brown and she thinks they have great atti- tude and an unlimited ability for suc- cess. I get a great buzz of energy from them! she exclaimed. And to keep improving their abilities, she would like the school to set up a language lab so that students record themselves speaking the foreign lan- guage they are studying. The psy- chic payoff we get in our job is when we see the light go on in a student, she said. On a similar note, Andrea Farley, who also majored in French and Spanish, likes to interact with her students, who she feels are out- standing. I have no complaint; there is a good student orientation- an excellent student body. Overall, many of the students en- joy Mrs. Farley ' s teaching and com- pliment her character. When pressed, she said it makes her sound like a snob. She advises the students to take school seriously now, so that they will be successful in the future. Paul Pflueger is also a strict believ- er in higher standards for the pupils at Capistrano Valley. Although many of the students quake at the thought of Pflueger for history, they enjoy his methods of teaching-to question the material they learn and to chal- lenge the ideas, rather than just ac- cept it at face value. Mr. Pflueger feels that the school should do something to make teaching social science more efficient and meaning- ful, so that the kids can accomplish and think more. He is a man of great beliefs in politics and history, thus he chose to teach those sub- jects so that others can learn more about their surroundings and be- come more active in it. A bit of re- bellion and courage to stand up for self-beliefs will help his incoming students! f Faculty 205 206 Faculty The Cafeteria Crew: Beth Drazil, Marion Po- poff, Luz Castro, Pat Faria, Pat Kinney.

L ?- % s iiii.. m. ate lU Modtk of bahei -cud gahmk , 1ml In elementary school, boys could be heard shouting, Boys go to Mars to get more candy bars. Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider. The girls would say something like duh or doy and stomp off with the boys bookin ' behind them saying, Gosh, have a cow! As these phrases faded, along with hatred for the opposite sex, new slang evolved. The Valley Girl syndrom came and teens began using like between every word and phrases such as Ohmygod! , Gag me! , and It was mega disgusting! Through the years, slang has sepa- rated the generations. There were the days of Daddy-O and greas- ers and rumbles when everyone was tough ; the Brady Bunch era of groovy and Isn ' t he dreamy? and far-out ; even the swell days, the like wow, man days, the bit- chen days, and the fully rad days. Many slang phrases have stayed the same despite the changes of each generation, and words such as cool and rad and boss have survived the wear of time. And in every generation, it seems to be so- cially unacceptable to use girl for girl or boy for boy . In Mr. Pflueger ' s day, he called girls foxes , Mrs. Kamita called cute guys dolls , Mr. Jeisy called girls quails , and Mr. Panici called good- looking girls hot babes . According to a senior poll, the slang phrases used most are: How ' s it going? , You ' re out! , On fire! , Insane! , What ' s up brah? , Sty- lin! , Relax! , Outta control , Choice! , Hideous! , Later, dude. , and Yo! Not all seniors use hip phrases, however. The non-conformists make up their own slang. Mr. Anth- ony and his high school friends called overweight girls in bikinis ga- hunks. Mrs. Willett ' s friends had a sarcastic remark for cool : neato- keeno-bosso-jet. Here ' s some other slang phrases that seniors use: What ' s up dude. - Jeff Smock. I ' m bummed. - Chris Wynen. S ' up? - Eric Godshaw. I never ever use slang words. - Dena Escandon. Alright already! - Aaron Anderson. That ' s what she said. - Sean Gal- lagher. Oh Jes Mang. - Karen Rose. What ' s slang. - Sherry Manning. Never barred. - Lewis Sliheet. Yo say wass up homes? - jay Mir- anda. Your mom! - Dustin Frieder. No way! - Heather Frost. Too classic! - Dayne Galium. it seems at Capo and everywhere else that slang is a teenager ' s unoffi- cial method of confusing adults, until parents realize that cool can mean hot , bad can mean good , and that if their son is dating an insane chick, it simply means that she is good-looking and not that she needs to be in an asylum. -I ' 1 CapH beiH ad bm tikff;. eiUo o lup ddtb ei Life of the Party — Tesse Banda and Chris Sorensen 268 Senior Superlatives Cutie Lee and Geoff Senior Superlatives 269 ' CenM kap Jclb ei: 1k, leqiid Best Personality — Shelley Hartfield and Kyle Gryzanosk H 1 ■ M B W T cp zM i H P ij W m%: stwi.V JI B 1 1 1 Best Looking — Bridget Dawson and Troy Baughman iggest Flirt — Chi Chi Biehn and Jeri Moody 270 Senior Superlatives Most Uninhibited — Lorenza Munoz and Jonathon Golden 271 Senior Superlatives Almost done!! It seems like just yesterday that the class of ' 90 walked into Capo as very confused freshmen, and now they ' re on the verge of Seniorhood! It ' s been frustrating, though. Challenged by perhaps their toughest year academically, (AP classes, PSATs, SATs, Achievement tests, the prospect of college ...) it was a difficult transition from the ho-hum, happy-go-lucky days of sophomoredom. Frustration also grew exponentially for those who finally had a car, but no place to park it. The options were limited: get to school at six and park on the hill, or arrive at seven, park on Avery, and hike across the muddy football fields. They would have given a life-time supply of Kibbles ' n Bits for a space in the senior lot!! The class of ' 90 did find a few things to grin about though, despite all the problems and frustrations. They won the Homecoming float competition with a spectacular steam engine, and for the first time the junior class had its own spirit shirt. The theme was Faces of a New Generation, reflecting pride in being the first class of the 1990 ' s. What ' s next for them, now that they have conquered their junior year? The long-awaited rise to the top, of course. They ' re almost there!! 272 juniors ■ TAKING A BREAK- David Guillen, Lisa Li- butti, and Dave Kellenberger chat in their ad- vanced comp class while waiting for the bell DRUMROLL PLEASE- Juniors impatiently await the announcement of Homecoming semi-finalists.

To many sophomores, their second year in high school could be best described as hell with home- work. Everything desirable is just outside their grasp. Dri- ver ' s licenses, elective classes, and school days of only five periods are all somewhere over the horizon. Need a ride and can ' t drive? Ask a friend, right? Wrong. Sorry, Jennifer, but it ' s like I already have sixteen people riding with me, so I guess you can ' t go. Luv ya! Looking forward to a jello class? Dream on. I ' m sorry, says the guidance tech, but in order for you to graduate before you ' re eligible for social security you ' ll have to take biology, geometry, world history, Spanish II, English II, and P.E. Oh, and if you want to get into a good college, you better be involved in something extra-curricular! No problem. Besides, if you get too busy, you can always cut back on time-wasting activities — like sleeping, or eating, or breathing. But there are some highlights to the sophomore year. You ' ve finally figured out that the F-wing isn ' t some Air Force fighter jet, that if you kick a locker just right it doesn ' t matter if you forget what the combina- tion is, and that if you get in the attendance line at precisely 7:45 you can finish all your homework before you get to the window and not get a tardy. Besides, look on the bright side — if you survive, you become a junior and get all kinds of privileges. You might even get lucky and get to be on the yearbook staff! 290 Sophomores ■ FASHIONS FOR THE 90 ' S - Nikki Halver- son models for the camera as she shows off her unique attire. ■ FOOTBALL BOOKWORMS? — Against common belief, sophomore football players Rob Villanueva, Scott Newell, Matt Call, and Jeff Jones take time out from football to study.

Sorry. Not if you ' re talking about the sophomore class council. We ' re getting along good and our personalities are the same, said Erica Gale. We ' re doing a lot better than last year. Lara Custis echoed Gale ' s feeling about their freshman year, This year is more organized than last year. We have the same ideas so it ' s easy to agree. The sophomore council ' s ability to work together was especially evident when it came to constructing this year ' s homecoming float. They built a merry- go-round to match the circus theme se- lected by the ASB council. And even though they came in third in the class competition, they still felt successful. We were gypped by the seniors, la- mented Brian teasingly, But we know who really was better. And while Brian felt the float was won- derful, Julie Mai chided that it was done in spite of him .at least a little. Brian was two hours late for the float, she said with a smile. Oh yeah, Brian replied, I was get- ting wood at seven o ' clock in the morn- ing while you guys were still sleeping. But don ' t let a little bit of verbal repar- tee let you think that the leaders of the sophomore class have any bad feelings about putting the float together. Their experience was nothing if not fun. And messy. We got in a paint fight and we smeared paint all over each other, laughed Mai. All in all, it seems that a paint fight is the closest thing to a fued you ' d ever see from the sophomore council. And they all agreed, as usual. We ' re one big hap- py family! they said.

Students show their inventive- ness in ways that would make Edi- son blush. One student enlisted the help of an innocent stick of Dentyne to pull off her scheme, I wrote an- swers on a piece of paper and stuck it to the bottom of the desk with a piece of gum. It worked! But sometimes cheating is not a one-man job. One might need a helping hand — literally! A soph- more explains; We used a system of hand signals corresponding to the letters A,B,C, etc. on the mul- tiple choice test. Some students resort to slight of hand. I tossed my pencil across the room, and I went to get it. Then I looked at a friend ' s test paper, another sophomore ex- plained. In spite of all the unusual ways sophomores use, some don ' t al- ways work. One student lament- ed, Me and my friend used the Morse code. It didn ' t work out quite as I planned it! Sometimes the problem isn ' t that the plan didn ' t work, it ' s that the culprits got caught. I was copying homework in my biology class and my teacher saw me. My friend and I both got an F on our homework, a sophomore said. But friendship isn ' t the only reason for cheating; money plays a big role too. I was giving homework assign- ments to others for payments and the teacher compared the assign- ments with other people ' s and gave me a U in citizenship and minus forty points. But it was fi- nancially rewarding! Money, friendship and gum are examples of student creativity in cheating. They may not direct their creative outflow to school work, but they definitely save it for unusual schemes in cheating.

P. classes and two hours plus per night. The compromise — at least if you ask them — is busy work ancf stupid assignments. Sophomores define busy work as a tool used by teach- ers to control them. On the other hand, sophomores call a stupid as- signment anything they don ' t want to do or see no value in — but it ' s half their grade and they have no choice. Don Lee believes that busy work is much more than a control device. He describes it as an as- signment they give us so they can drink their coffee . Actually, teachers usually give busy work as a repetitious exercise, aimed at drilling the students until perfec- tion is achieved. (Yeah right!) On the far end of the spectrum is Eric Scott ' s opinion. Eric claimed that he dislikes what is generally classified as busy work, and prefer classwork that enriches my cultural and intellectual be- ing. Now, if you ' re done gagging, think about it. That ' s something we don ' t hear much of anymore; a sophomore, or for that matter, a teen ager, that actually cares about his ecTucation! In short, busy work and stupid assignments will always be here as long as we look at them that way. The key is to look for something positive in every assignment, some way they can enrich us cul- turally and intellectually . And if there is no such aspect to the as- signment, then HEY ... it is stu- pid! ▲ DETENTION AGAIN- Sophoi Crawford does busy work dur tion.

Power is at the tips of your fingers, and even at the tips of your toes. But this is not the case for Jeni Bethurum. I have to put blocks on my feet to reach the pedals! she said. And although driving is a total highpoint of sophomore life, learn- ing how to drive can cause tempo- rary anxieties. Crashing is a com- mon fear sophomores share when learning the art of driving, in addi- tion to not giving Mom whiplash and Dad a heart attack. Once an OCTD bus almost crashed into me! Philip Tawil says. jeni Gunn also had an interesting driving experience. I was driving my friend ' s car without my license and we went into a ditch. We had to go to this sleezy bar and ask some guys to tow us out! What a nightmare! Sometimes dreams of driving seem like real-life mishaps. A few sophomores shared some of their worst nightmares about driving. Shaun Watson says, I once dreamed that I fell out of the car, it ran me over and the tire tread rubbed off on my nose! Michelle Carlin also shares her nightmare with a laugh. I dreamed I was driving and my toes got wrapped around the gear shift and I flew in the back seat! But while Shaun and Michelle had nightmares, Beth Janko is truly enthusiastic about driving. I ' m stoked! I will get my total freedom and we ' ll be able to do everything! My worst nightmare is if my car blew up and my Mom and Dad drove by. I would die! Dreams of driving and real-life driving experiences can be heart- pounding when they happen, but usually they turn into both fun and funny memories for all of us.

The dreaded, rarely happy-to-do-so task of taking care of brats gives a teenager an experience in parenting for the joy of a profit. Is being paid anywhere from $1.50-$5.00 an hour worth babysitting anywhere from 2 hours up to an entire weekend? Not always. The first time I ever tried babysit- ting one kid cried and screamed while I cleaned up the mess the oth- er kid made in his pants, said Matt Holt. There ' s always the kid who won ' t cooperate, and sometimes, when you ' re fed up, you just have to go to extremes. A little boy was trying to make me chase him all over the house. I got so mad that i chased HIM out- side. Then I locked the door and walked away, said Heather Andrea- sen. But, some babysitters like to have fun with the kid who ' s a pain in the rear figuring, if your Friday night is shot, why not make the best of the situation? Once, the kid stuck his head in the toilet and flushed it, laughed Nivedita Khamamkar, His hair came out like a swirlee. Toilets were also popular with Branden Muresan. My friend and I tried to flush my sister down the toi- let; while she screamed, we laughed, he said. Then, there are those times when the burden of responsibility over- rides practical jokes. Locked in a house while babysit- ting, Chris Price said, A guy crank- called and said he was watching us and gave perfect descriptions of all of us. For Larisa Moore, miscommunica- tion almost gave her a heart attack. The little girl 1 was babysitting yelled to me from her room. I thought she screamed ' FIRE ' , and I ran up expecting smoke and flames. It turned out she said ' SPIDER. ' Nobody is ever ready for the worst to happen, but how do you expect the unexpected? Adam Larmer said, Our neigh- bors were having another baby and called me to babysit at 1:30 a.m. 1 went over in my pajamas and my eyes half-opened. For Kristen Eldred, a memory lapse was a mistake. 1 forgot I had to babysit and I was all ready to go out and the door bell rang, I expected my friends, but it ended up being the parents I babysit for who had come instead. Then, there ' s the chance of an emergency. Whom do you call? What do you do? Once, I was babysitting an infant and I turned my back for a second and she ate part of the T.V. Guide. I panicked, but she just coughed it back up, said Kristin Paradzick. For most people, babysitting is boring, and inviting people over, talking on the phone, watching T.V., reading a book, or doing homework usually passes the time. But, for those who are familiar with the an- tics in Adventures in Babysitting , that could happen to you. So, think twice when deciding to babysit- is the money worth it?

Sophomores 307 v Coming to Capo as a freshman is probably one of the most terrifying experiences known to man. It ' s right below being in Hiroshima when the bomb dropped and just above being sent to Mr. Jeisy ' s office for point- ing at a teacher with the wrong finger. Wandering through the halls with a blue-and-white locator — God will get the person who named it that — is like being a white rat in some sadistic lab experi- ment. The only difference is that when the rat makes it through the maze, he gets a piece of cheese — you get homework. It ' s bad enough trying to remember where your classes are, but you also have to remember what your locker combination is. Was that 34 left or 37 right? Do I have to turn completely past the number, or do I just stop when I get to it? Then, if you ' re lucky enough to finally get the darn thing open, chances are you ' ll find your locker partner ' s peanut butter and jelly sandwich stuffed inside your math book. Oh, but there ' s more. Unless you want to eat your PB ] flavored Algebra text, you have to fight through the lunch crowds. But you were told not to worry. Some sophomore said that if you get to the lines by 11:50, you can usually get your lunch by 12:05 — the following day. But as overwhelming as Capo can be for a new stu- dent, its size is also its strength. The class of ' 92 found itself faced with opportunity to participate in every- thing from football to French Club, from surfing to ceramics, and from running track to running for stu- dent office. For freshmen, the terror usually subsides by the end of the first semester, and the remaining 3 2 years are much better. In fact, it ' s almost as much fun as a con- cussion! w ■4 FRESHMEN DREAMS — It seems that ev- eryone wants to be part of Capistrano Valley this year I GETTING A JUMP ON THINGS — Unfortu- ately for Mike Kim, you don ' t literally have 3 break a leg to get ahead in school.

Led by President Eric Adams, they were put right to work after their hasty elections, because Homecoming came blitzing. 1 thought our float was really good for the time we had. We got off to a late start because of the elections, so the other classes had a jump on us, said Laura Lee. The council and fifteen of its loyal supporters spent three weekends putting to- gether Feel the Magic of the Class of ' 92, a black top hat decorated with stream- ers and tissue paper. And even though their float fin- ished fourth in the competi- tion, the council was proud of its effort For the rest of the year they participated in Spirit Week, planned to host a Val- entine ' s Dance for a fun- draiser, and also considered selling flowergrams to raise money. , Treasurer Shannon McConnas, V itive Julie Hill, Secretary Camille epresentative Sheryl Lynch. ce President Laura Lee, Represen- Clegg, President Eric Adams, and ■4 NO WAY DUDE ' - Jason Faulk and John-Eric Bolger rap while waiting tor the bus Most fresh- men spent their time outside m the sun before the buses arrived % Cory Bennett Shana Benlon Anne Berbenan Matthew Berge Alena BergquisI Kristen Berkos fmm Scott Blenkarn Mirhelle Bleser Mansa Blumhagen Donald Boe Shawn Boiand John Eric Bolger Tomtka Bradley Chrib Bradshaw Mark Bradt Freshmen 311 Keith Bramweil John Brand Alexander Braslavsky Erica Brien Daniel Briseno Christophe Broberg Jason Brookhart Aaron Brown Shannon Brown Alan Bryan Jeanine Bull Joy Burkholder Karen Calhoun Jennifer Campbell Timothy Campbell Christina Camplin David Carroll Nicole Carvalho Dana Cass Jennifer Cedillo Charles Cha Kristen Chamberlain Kristopher Chan Sona Chandwan Paul Chang Bernard Chapm, Douglas Chesne ► WHAT A BABE! — Shelby Schumacher anc Farrah Tierney listen intently as Alena Berg quist describes a hunk she just 312 Freshmen Stephanie Clary Camille Clegg Michelle Cleveland Shaylee Clontz Greg Cohen Paul Cohen Chad Comer Jackie Connors Jeremy Cook Richard Cordaway Chris Cottrell Charity Covingto Shanna Cox Kelly Cunerty Amy Daerr .

Our bus driver dressed up as Freddie Krueger during Halloween; he ' s really weird! But not all bus drivers are entertaining. Angle Ramsey, complains: Our bus driver puts on country music. Country music isn ' t the only entertain- ment on the bus, according to Natalie Hayes. Sometimes people dance in the aisles, she said. But when people get tired of dancing in the aisles, they start to throw things down them. Says Brandon Soderberg, Donuts have been thrown in the bus. Not only donuts are thrown through the aisles, says Natalie Hayes, People on the bus throw frisbees sometimes! she remarked. Frisbees aren ' t the only thing that float through the air of the bus, explains An- gle Ramsey, I sometimes have to sit three to a seat. Boy! The odors, she commented. Another student, Dana Rueseler, shares her encounter with human body odors. Some chubby kid always sits next to me and he smells everyday! she said. Country music, body odors, frisbees and dancing are all part of riding that ever so famous Twinkle , As long as there are people who need a ride, the big, yellow Twinkle will come to the rescue.

Mary Poppins might have been the best nanny ever to grace the screens of Hollywood, but she would be a younger sibling ' s nightmare. She has rosy cheeks and a cheery disposition, she ' s never cross, and she gives treats. In her own words, she ' s practically perfect in every way. Just try living up to that! Elijah Fan has enough trouble of his own living up to brother Emmanuel, who ' s a sophomore. He gets good grades, like straight A ' s and 1 get A ' s and B ' s; mostly B ' s. That ' s fine with me, but it ' s not good enough for my parents, he said ruefully. Monica Sicotte couldn ' t agree more. My parents are always saying ' Why can ' t you be more like Nicki? She works every weekend and you just sit around and watch TV. ' Comparisons between siblings are al- most second-nature to parents, but Rene Adrian said that her parents are trying to avoid matching her against Paul, who ' s a senior. They ' re trying not to since I pointed out to them that it hurts my feelings, she explained. While Elijah, Monica, and Rene had to contend with the expectations of their parents, Laura Lee found that it was her teachers who drew the comparisons. They expect me to be just like Chris- ten, she said, and she ' s a straight A student. Philip Swetz had the same problem. I think some of my teachers who had Don before were kind of disappointed be- cause I always goofed-off in class and he was always the top student. They would never say that, but I could kind of feel it, he explained. But even those blessed with parents and teachers who are careful to tr« at each sibling as an individual had i for envy and jealousy. I ' m sometimes jealous of Lori because she ' s older and she has a better relationship with my par- ents, said Jill Quinton. Nancy Stuhlmiller echoed Jill ' s senti- ments: Neil ' s older and they treat him like a adult. He ' s more independent and he gets more privileges. And even though all siblings are envi- ous of each other now and then, and bicker almost constantly, the general sentiment among them is one of love and respect, albeit grudgingly admitted. If I have a problem, said Matt Lloyd, Ben ' s always there for me. But whether as a younger sibling you are frustrated by the expectations of par- ents and teachers or by your own jealou- sy, count your blessings. At least you don ' t have Mary Poppins to live up to! m w Scott Jones Annamarie ludith Garrett Kakishita Heather Kaminski Daniel Kamita Elizabeth Karacuschansky Cameron Karpowitz Erick Karsten Rick Karsten Jesse Keller Christine Kenneday Sarah Knapp Melissa Knight Kristin Kobayashi David Koopman Robert Kornacki David Kornbluth Freshmen 317 A STUDENT ABUSE??- Aaron Rust has ► NEXT QUESTION, PLEASE— Tera an after class chat with science teacher Garbellini answers a yearbook staff Mr. Joe Henry. member ' s questions during a sixth peri- od i 318 Freshmen Allison Light Sieven Lilak Dana Lillard YEAH, RIGHT!— Andrea Zimnnerman does Andrea Lillie classwork in her English classroom. Freshmen 319 Ru l u)em cmM ity 1hff coaM be bfwhn Throwing a spit wad at Mr. Henry ' s forehead, sharpen- ing a pencil until there is no lead, sneaking in class when the tardy bell rings, these are a few of our favorite things. Julie Andrews ' favorite things may have included rain- drops on roses and whiskers on kittens, but if you asked some freshmen, they would say their favorites were chewing gum and throwing spit wads. Students often enjoyed themselves by chewing gum in class. This seems to be one rule teachers don ' t always follow, said Ted Hoffman. Some students felt that they could not live without chewing gum in class, claiming it was a necessity of stu- dent life. Julie Hill said, I always have to chew gum! Freshmen not only chewed gum in class, but they also ate, defying another sacred law: No eating on carpeted areas. There ' s no break between classes and I am so hungry that I just can ' t wait until lunch, so I eat in class, said Erin Alexander. The key to eating in class is not to get caught by the teacher no matter what sneaky trick this requires. I hide my food in my pocket, said Jill Ray. Other students used the common cough trick to inhale food, according to Aaron Brown. Some teachers even indulged with their students. Mr. Gipe will either take away your food or he ' ll mooch some off of you, said Lisa Shulga. One of the most amusing things about breaking rules is listening to the excuses. Among one of the most common broken rules is the infamous tardy rule, and along with it comes a stream of excuses for being late. There was a fight in the mall and I tried to stop it, said Kristen Berkos. So no matter what the teachers, faculty, and administra- tion do to enforce the rules , there will always be some who blatantly or unknowingly break them for fun. So while Julie Andrews delights in brown paper packages tied up with string, freshmen obviously look elsewhere for entertainment by breaking the rules.

This is the grand finale, the last gasp, the bottom of the ninth. So if you only had one page left to sum up the year, what would you say? If you ' re an optimist, you ' d talk about the CSF canned food drive, and the teams that reached CIF, and the number of students that passed the AP test. You ' d rave about the dances, the parties, and that drama pro- duction that was the best you ' ve ever seen. If you ' re a pessimist, you ' d talk about some fight in which a kid got his head kicked in, or the long lunch lines, or that fifth tardy in fourth period. You ' d com- plain that your picture wasn ' t on the cover of the year- book, that you didn ' t win the drawing for a free trip to the prom, and that we lost the Homecoming game to a team that ' s nicknamed after Flipper. If you ' re a republican, you ' d marvel at how effective the American electoral system is; if you ' re a democrat, you ' re talking about setting limits on that nasty cam- paign advertising. If you ' re human, you ' ll remember the great perfor- mances of Flo-Jo and Greg Louganis in Seoul, and the embarrassment of Ben Johnson. In fact, if you ' re like most people, you ' ll remember it all, good and bad. And you know, that ' s what this section is all about; what you liked, what you didn ' t, the highlights, and the tragedies of this past year; because it was a little bit of everything that made us extremely, totally, and abso- lutely Capo! 326 Closing 4 CAN ' T WAIT TO CO- Like so many other seniors, Heather Losee expectantly awaits the ceremony that will allow her to leave Capo Valley.
