Learning doesn't stop the fun even during the ummer is, of course, a time for fun, but it can be a great and fun time to learn, too. Many students from Chaparral attended workshops and camps over the sum- mer and did nothing but enjoy them- selves. Almost immediately after school had ended, Girls State and Boys State representatives from Chaparral at- tended both Girls and Boys State. Girls state was held at U. OF A. in Tucson, and Boys State at NAU in Flagstaff. Both groups learned about and formed governments of cities, counties, and states. All of the girl representatives, Annie Howell, Kris- ten Ingebrightson and Jenny Worth agreed that it was one of the busiest, craziest and best weeks of their lives. The Boys State delegates, Scott Heidler, Kevin Orlowski, Steve Sal- cito, and Bill Silverman received equally as much out of their week. The pom and cheer lines went to the University of Santa Barbara in Cali- fornia and attended a United Spirit Association summer camp together. The camp concentrated mainly on unity between spirit lines and crowd involvement at the games. Adair Nel- son, pom captain, admitted that, The dance material that was taught was excellent, and all of pom had fun learning and performing it. The en- tire cheer line worked well together and basically had a blast! commented senior, Kathy Jimenez. The yearbook staffers and journal- istic writers of Chaparral took a trip to NAU for the annual Arizona Inter- scholastic Press Association. There they attended classes from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon, learning and training themselves to produce well-written yearbooks and newspapers. That's where the whole yearbook actually fell into place. It was the best week of my life, editor Leigh Bonebrake admitted with a smile. The campers had the opportu- nity to get to know editors and staff- ers from other schools and share ideas with them also. Lastly, Chaparral was represented at yet another summer camp-Any- town. Anytown is a human relations camp that focuses on the meaning of brotherhood. Delegates learned about prejudices, shared personal exper- iences, and made plenty of friends. There were four different camps to eliminate any overcrowding from any one school. Senior Kathy Plache said that, Everyone who has the chance should take advantage of the opportu- nity and go. The camp imprinted a lasting impression on each individual who went. Girls State, Boys State, Pom and Cheer camp, AIPA workshop, and Anytown were all unforgettable ex- periences that members of Chaparral attended last summer. They aided each individual and helped him or her plan for a great 1985-86 school year. -Jenny Worth

Even though life is good, it's always better with I ooking around campus, one saw a particular thing in abun- dance-people! The activities in which they were engaged in could vary, but it usually appeared as if they were having fun. School is, of course, a place to gain an education, but so- cially Chaparral gave the same oppor- tunity, someone who's always there, that needed a friendly smile, or the reassuring hug all added up to equal a friend. Friends are a big part of high school life. Whether it was help with a math problem, giving a ride, wiping a tear, or just going out for the night, friends were there. Most students agreed that it didn't really matter what we did, as long as it was fun. Clearly defining a friend was a very difficult task. Senior Joyce Block easi- ly stated that it's someone who's there through thick and thin no matter what. Webster's Dictionary describes a friend as one attached to another by esteem and affection, an intimate associate, a supporter, but there is more to being a companion. Senior Amy Hearn further interpreted the meaning of a friend by stating that it was someone who accepts me as I am and doesn't try to change me. A true friendship does not just hap- pen. It is based on mutual under- standing and caring along with spending time together. Many new friendships were made at Chaparral this year while others grew even stronger. A friend is a gift that can last a lifetime - a friend is forever. Every moment that was spent with that close buddy becomes another cherished memory to warm hearts when Chap- arral High School days are gone. -Jenny Worth Left: Seniors Kathy Jiminez, Kelli Staley, Miche Kratter, Kelli Mooney, Lauren Matera, and Vale' Baker cherish the true meaning of friendship as th spend their free time together in the snack bar.
